As he gazed into a summer thunderstorm power are real and tangible. he realized that there was a God wants you to experience His love and power as much as tremendous amount of power available. He wondered if

that power was accessible. He wondered if he could bring that power down to the Earth. Ben Franklin decided to ﬂy a kite into the storm to see if the lightning would strike it. But that wasn’t all he did. He also tied a metal key to the lower part of the kite string. Why did he do that? He knew that electricity power needed a compatible conductor for a destination if it was going to make the trip from the storm to the key. Ben Franklin was preparing a place for that power to land. What was the result? He tapped into a power that changed mankind forever. In a similar manner, God’s

power needs a place to land. It needs a conductor to travel to. 1 Corinthians 2:9 says, “But as it is written eye has not seen nor ear heard neither has entered into the heart of man THE THINGS which God has prepared FOR THOSE THAT LOVE HIM.” Many people think that this verse is speaking about Heaven but it is not. Read verse 10. It says, “But God has revealed them (the things) unto us by His Spirit for the Spirit searches ALL THINGS, yes the deep THINGS of God.” Can’t you see that God has amazing things prepared for you right now? That is speaking about

here on Earth not just when you get to Heaven! Those “things” that God is talking about are things of power and help for this life. It sounds like God’s power is looking for a place to land. So how do you get that power to land? Read verse 11. Verse 11 says, “For what man knows the THINGS (that God promised) of a man except for the SPIRIT OF MAN WITHIN HIM…?” God’s power is only compatible with your spirit nature. You will not see God’s power until you start making decisions that put your spiritual life ﬁrst. Feed your spirit with God’s Word. Become His student.

Keeping the Faith

Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church Fredonia

I just found out that my husband had an affair ten years ago…what should I do? My dear friend, my heart goes out to you. Marriage is a relationship built on trust. When this trust is violated, it opens the door to great sorrow. Take courage and don’t despair. God can take the bad things that happen and turn them around for good (Genesis 50:20). In order for me to advise you, we must consider the many circumstances of the aﬀair. The

circumstances of the situation, as well as the state and health of your marriage will aﬀect how you should proceed. For example, if your marriage was generally a good one and there are children involved, I would ask you to pray about reconciliation. This would involve forgiveness on your part, repentance on your husband’s, and a decision to work hard on your relationship. Even though you have sustained a devastating hurt and betrayal of trust, your decision to forgive can

be followed by God’s healing to your heart and marriage. Holding resentment in a marriage will only hinder the healing process and lead to bitterness and separation. This would damage any chance of reconciling, and would surely aﬀect your children’s feelings of security and being loved. But be assured…with two willing partners, God can use this time to make your marriage even stronger and draw you closer to Him. On the other hand, if your

husband isn’t interested in returning to the marriage (and perhaps he didn’t treat you all that well before the affair)… it will be much more difficult to handle. Such an offence cannot be easily remedied. The Bible tells us, however, that we must forgive no matter what the offense (Matthew 18:21-22). No matter what the other does, if you want to keep God’s peace and get past this… you must walk in forgiveness. Unforgiveness will be a burden to your relationship with God

and will negatively aﬀect your children. No matter how this turns out, a lot of prayer will be needed to heal this situation. No matter what your husband does, if your put God ﬁrst, and be obedient to His ways, He can give grace to this situation (Matthew 6:33). With time, and the help of your pastor or a Christian Family Counselor, God will use your decision to be obedient to Him to guide the healing process and restore your life.

Care Transitions Program Contributed Article OFA

Chautauqua County Office for the Aging Director Dr. Mary Ann Spanos announced that the Office for the Aging is launching the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ Community-based Care Transitions Program in Chautauqua County. “One of the biggest challenges seniors face after being released from the hospital is their inability to coordinate their ongoing care,” said Chautauqua County Executive Greg Edwards. “The Communitybased Care Transitions Program is all about the patients as it connects them with professionals to help them get the services they need to continue on the road to full recovery.” The Community-based Care Transitions Program (CCTP) is an initiative of the Partnership for Patients, a nationwide public-private partnership launched in April 2011 that aims to cut preventable errors in hospitals by 40 percent and reduce preventable hospital readmissions by 20 percent over a three-year period. CCTP’s goals are to reduce hospital readmissions, test sustainable funding streams for care transition services, maintain or improve quality of care, and document measureable savings to the Medicare program. In March 2012, the Chautauqua County Office for the Aging was selected to participate in the program along with seven other community-based organizations and 10 hospitals that make up the Care Transitions of Western New York Coalition. The consortium is one of forty-seven organizations around the nation participating in CCTP and is led by P2 Collaborative of Western New York, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to educating and motivating people of Western New York to make healthy lifestyle changes. The Care Transitions of

Western New York Coalition will serve more than 2,600 Medicare patients per year. All counties will provide care transitions services for Medicare Fee-For-Service patients who have been previously readmitted to the hospital within 30 days of a discharge. In addition, nine of the ten participating hospitals will flag specific high readmission conditions like Congestive Heart Failure (CHF), Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Pneumonia, and Diabetes. “We are thrilled to be an essential component in this program and it is a perfect fit with the OFA’s mission to keep seniors independent in their own homes for as long as possible,” said Spanos. “We have already established this program with WCA Hospital and next week we are excited to launch our program with Brooks Memorial Hospital.” Spanos said that the NY Connects program is designed to link people to all available community resources and care transitions coaches, who may be staff from the OFA, Chautauqua County Health Network, Hospice or Willcare Inc. In addition to coaching services for the patient returning to home, OFA will provide information and connections to vital programs and services in the community that can help people through their recuperation period at home. Some of the services available are transportation to followup medical appointments, personal care services, adult day care, meals, health insurance counseling and wellness programs. For more information on the Care Transitions of Western New York Coalition, contact the P2 Collaborative of Western New York at (716) 9236572. For more information about transitions assistance in Chautauqua County, contact NY Connects at 753-4582, 661-7582, or 363-4582.

Community Effort Led to Replacement of Historic Statue Civil War Monument Stolen Four Decades Ago From Sinclairville Cemetery

By Daniel Meyer Star Contributing Writer

Thanks to generous contributions made by a wide variety of local residents and area civic organizations, a historic statue that mysteriously disappeared 46 years ago was recently replaced. Numerous fundraisers and charitable donations led to the collection of over $20,000 for a monument that was rededicated earlier this summer as a veterans’ memorial statue at Evergreen Cemetery in Sinclairville.

“We found a replica of the statue and later located the company that used to make these unique statues. We kept at it and found someone who could replace it.” -Louann Smith

The new veterans memorial statue, shown above was handcrafted by Timothy P. Schmalz, a world renowned sculptor.

Organizers got quite creative when it came to coordinating the fundraising efforts that collected cash for what became known as the Sinclairville Soldiers Monument Fund. “You name it, we did it,” said Louann Smith, who along with her husband, Diman, helped bring attention to the community’s desire to have the statue replaced. “We sold quilts, we held classic car shows, we had gun raffles, we had handmade picnic tables raffled off, we did just about everything. Even my grandkids pitched in and sold lemonade.” According to Smith, a statue of a Civil War soldier was stolen from Evergreen Cemetery on July 26, 1966. The thieves were never apprehended and for various reasons the statue was never replaced. In recent years research was done after discussions took place about the possibility of replacing the statue. “To tell you the truth at first it was pretty hard to find anything out about the original statue,” said Smith. “Eventually we found a replica of the statue and later located the company that used to make these unique statues. We kept at it and found someone who could replace it.” The original statue that was stolen was six-feet tall and weighed over 1,100 pounds. The monument was hand crafted sheet copper with an antique bronze finish. The new statue, which was erected on July 26 - exactly 46 years to the day that it was stolen - is also six-feet tall but weighs approximately 125 pounds. It is made out of sheek copper that was cast in bronze with

traditional “French Brown” patina. The new veterans memorial statue was handcrafted by Timothy P. Schmalz, a world renowned sculptor. The new sculpture was errected by the Sons of American Legion Squadron 1280. “It is beautiful and this was all done through the eﬀorts of our family and the extreme generosity of this wonderful community,” said Smith. “I just mailed out the last check so it is all paid for and that is such a wonderful feeling to know all of our hard work paid oﬀ.”

One group of local residents who contributed despite some of them being on a ﬁxed income was a very supportive team of senior citizens who donated an unknown amount

of money to the Sinclairville Soldiers Monument Fund. “The senior citizens of Sinclairville, what more can I say about them?” said Smith. “It was so encouraging to receive money from them. It was ﬁve dollars here, twenty dollars there, they just kept contributing any way possible. We actually received some anonymous donations and I’m pretty sure some of those contributions came from our seniors. They recognized how we wanted to honor our veterans and stepped up and helped us reach our goal.” Also contributing to the efforts led by the Smith family over the past six years were various local Legion posts and owners of local small businesses simply too numerous to mention. “We could not have done this great thing for our community without everyone’s help, cooperation and generosity,” said Smith. “This shows our community’s patriotism and we now have a beautiful veterans’ memorial statue that will help recognize those who bravely served to protect all of the freedoms that we enjoy today.”

her career years in sales and marketing. For five years, she ran the Community Kitchen at the Episcopal Church in Westfield, experience which prepared her for the café. “I don’t plan to be your typical ‘bacon-and-eggs’ café,” said Powers, with a smile. “I’m quiches, casseroles and egg bakes. On the weekends, I’ll have homemade Belgian waffles with fresh fruit and real maple syrup. I have a baked oatmeal that has been a hit. We have grits instead of hash browns. I take the usual stuff and put my own flair on it. There are plenty of places you can go and get [the usual breakfast food], I want to offer something different.” And the best part of Powers’s ‘different’- her prices won’t be. “You won’t pay any more here than you would for a regular bacon-and-egg breakfast.” For lunches, Powers puts her ‘flair’ into everything that she makes, most of which of her own or family recipes. “I’ve got a lot of my own, and a lot of my mom’s recipes,” said Powers. “I’ve always been

someone who likes to experiment in the kitchen, so I’ve got a lot of unique and great foods.” Her chicken salad, which is mayo-free, contains walnuts, fresh apples and grapes, and is offered on a fresh baked croissant. This Fall, Powers will be offering homemade soups to go with her Paninis, which are always served on fresh homemade bread. “I don’t use canned meat,” said Powers. “It’s all fresh, oven-roasted turkey, chicken or ham. We also have some gluten-free options, and we’re looking to have some vegetarian options in the future as well.” In addition to the café foods, Powers has a number of bakers on staff (and more to come) who provide delicious, fresh baked goods daily and to order. “We’re bringing in a cupcake baker, who will make special cupcakes and cakes to order,” she said. “We have plenty of other special baked goods, and we do it all right here.” The Café is a cozy place,

Carving, Continued from page 1 Liz Boni says she and her husband Rick have always wanted to do an event under the premise of “Renaissance” man, or a person who is skilled in multiple ﬁelds or disciplines. Because chainsaw carving is a relatively new art form, most of the artists have come from other mediums, she said. “So through the years we’ve met some fascinating, wonderful characters. It’s always been Rick’s dream, because he was an oil painter to start with…he went to the Pittsburgh Art Institute and he also writes music and does all these things. We’ve met other people like him throughout the years.” According to Liz, the artists are basically “creating from anything they can get their hands on” - whether ice, wood, sculpture, cardboard or fabric.” “From an artists’ point of view, they are thrilled (to participate). We have Cima Bue from the Adirondacks who does pyrotechnics and will light up sculptures. From Germany, there is an artist that does large chainsaw sculptures and art on the tips of toothpicks, who is also an opera singer.” Another artist, Christopher Caines has danced for 20 NYC based companies, and was called “the most musically sophisticated choreographer under 45 in the United States.” The Chautauqua Art Challenge starts on Monday with the painting competition, Tuesday is clay sculpting, Wednesday is cardboard and fabric, Thursday is ice, and Friday, wood-carving.

Your Retirement Is Deﬁnitely Worth Planning For You’ve heard it said before: Timing is everything. Especially when it comes to starting your Social Security benefits. More than 90% of working Americans are counting on Social Security to replace part of their current incomes when they retire, but the truth is the majority of those already drawing benefits receive permanently reduced amounts due to ill-informed timing decisions. In fact, many Americans fail to take into account the true impact of factors such as age, job status, taxes and marital status when deciding when to start receiving benefits. And that can prove to be a costly mistake. Don’t make the same mistakes other retirees make. It could mean leaving money on the table at atime when you’ll need it most. That’s why it’s important to develop a strategy to maximize your household Social Security benefits and enhance your overall retirement income plan. After all, a little planning now can go a long way – and in this case, we’re talking a lifetime.

Lakewood Antique Club Hosts Speaker Contributed Article JS Sipos

The Lakewood Antique Club met recently for their monthly with guest speaker Susan W. Sipos of Cassadaga on ﬁbers, spinning and weaving. Yvonne Lee of Warren is the president of the club, which meets once a month. Madelyn Wellington is the vice president. The group meets to have fun and to discuss antiques, and welcomes new members. Mrs. Sipos spoke on the old art of making clothes, telling all about shearing a sheep, carding and combing the wool, spinning the wool and then using the homespun for weaving. Gale Peterson introduced the speaker giving

a brief summary of the many ﬁbers areas that Mrs. Sipos demonstrates. Mrs. Sipos is a member of the Hilltop Spinners group and the Chautauqua County Weavers Guild. She always remarks that this

is one of her favorite interests. Shown in the photograph is a custom made spinning wheel, which is known as a parlor wheel or a ship’s wheel due to its compact size. Mrs. Sipos said she met the builder of

her spinning at the county fair many years ago, the late Sydney Withers, who said he would teach her to spin and when she said she did not have a spinning wheel, he remarked, that he would build her one. Showing many basket full of diﬀerent kinds ﬂeece, skeins of yarn, and natural dyes used with wool, an interesting presentation was given to all. The Lakewood Antique Club have been together for over 50 years, and the membership is composed of women from all of the surrounding areas. Following the presentation, a variety of pies was served to all.

Audubon Promoting Clean-ups to Revitalize Local Waterways were over 800 volunteers who helped clean up the shores of Lake Erie from Woodlawn State Park to Westfield, New York; statewide there were more than 6,000 participants who removed debris from 260+ miles of shoreline. Finally, the Allegheny River Clean-up is scheduled over a seven-day period starting on Saturday, Sept. 15, through Saturday, Sept. 22. The mission of the clean-up is simple: to keep the Allegheny River, a valuable area resource, healthy and beautiful for generations to come. Each day of the clean-up has a scheduled area of the river or its tributaries as its focus. Volunteers are needed to paddle along the river as well as on shore to sort through recyclables.

Farmer’s Market Coupons Available Contributed Article DJDC

Although summer is coming to a close, the Univera Healthcare Downtown Jamestown Farmers Market is beginning to offer some of the area’s finest fall produce. The market will continue to operate every Friday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. through Oct. 26 in Foundry Alley next to the Dr. Lillian Vitanza Ney Renaissance Center on the corner of West Third and Washington Streets. “Last week’s Farmers Market Community Day was a huge success and a great way to end the summer season,” said Tiffani Conti, DJDC Special Projects Manager. “It’s hard to believe fall is so close, but so many market patrons look forward to this season because now it’s time for grapes, apples, squash and an array of fresh fall produce.” Through the NYS Fresh Connect Program, the market has received $2.00 Fresh Connect Coupons for those individuals using their EBT cards. For every $5.00 spent using an EBT card, the buyer will receive a $2.00 coupon for additional produce. “This is such a great incentive for families to use their EBT cards at the farmers market,” added Conti. “For every $5.00 spent they will receive $2.00 free to purchase additional fresh produce. This program not only benefits the families, but increases revenue for our participating farmers.” Added value coupons will be available on a first-come firstserve basis. The Downtown Jamestown Farmers Market now accepts EBT in addition to credit and debit cards. WIC participants and seniors who have not used their market coupons are encouraged to do so before October 26th. This week’s market will feature a live performance by Cindy Haight, one of Jamestown’ well-known musicians, from 12-1pm. Cindy Haight has performed at 100’s of venues, parties, benefits, protests and has even performed at retirement homes. She was working as the music director at the time, but it happened! Cindy began performing at the age of 17 in local Jamestown open mic nights, and developed an affinity for live music and performing. She has played with popular local bands, Djava and the Derbines, and is now performing a solo / sometimes duo act around the region. You never know who may show up and jam with Cindy, as she is fortunate to have many talented friends in her life, like veteran musicians Paul Liuzzo, Matt

Homan, Reese Campbell and the lovely and talented Marla Harris. Cindy has recorded with bands in the past, and released her first full-length, solo CD entitled “Songs of Love and Haight” in 2009. Most recently, she contributed vocal support to Matt Homan’s up and coming CD release, which features many of the areas hottest musicians. Cindy’s songs are full of raw emotion and melody that will take you on a journey, sometimes through heartbreak, or redemption, sometimes with cynicism and always with a bit of humor. Her songs are ones we can all identify with. If you like blues, soul and rock, you need to check out a Cindy Haight show! You can see Cindy play in several local venues and establishments this summer, including the grand opening of the farmers market this Friday, the Great Blue Heron Music Festival during the weekend of July 6 to 8, and the Jamestown Savings Bank Ice Arena on July 20.

Thanks to All for Help on Major League Fishing We are so fortunate to have individuals and businesses in this community that consistently step up to the plate to help pull oﬀ signiﬁcant accomplishments. Such is the case with the recent Major League Fishing tour on Chautauqua Lake.

Q&A ‘Toweling’ keeps parrots from biting when handled Q: My parrot has bitten me badly when I’ve tried to clip flight feathers or nails. How can I make this easier on us both? — via e-mail A: Make sure you’re doing these procedures properly to minimize pain. Have an expert show you exactly where and how much to clip those flight feathers and nails, and learn what to do if things get bloody by accident. Ideally, that should be an avian veterinarian, a veterinary technician or someone on the staff of a reputable bird shop. You’ll also need a towel to restrain your bird, and ask for a demonstration of the art of “toweling.” An old, clean hand towel is fine for small parrots such as cockatiels and budgies, while a larger bath towel is better for large parrots such as cockatoos and macaws. My “Birds For Dummies” co-author, avian veterinarian Dr. Brian Speer, says that toweling shouldn’t be frightening for the bird. He suggests that you hold the towel with the ends draped over each hand, make eye contact with your bird, and approach from the front. Show your bird the towel and then gently wrap it around the bird, usually from the front. When using a towel to restrain your bird, you do not need to keep direct hold of the head, but do expect a few new holes to be chewed in the towel while you’re working with your bird. Wrap the towel tightly enough to control your bird, but not so tightly as to restrict breathing. Pet birds breathe by moving their breastbones forward and back, like a bellows. You must leave the towel wrapped loosely enough for your bird to draw breath normally. When your bird is gently wrapped up in the towel, you are in control and can take care of grooming or of investigating any injuries. Attitude is everything: Always handle your bird with respect, but also with gentle firmness. Keep in mind, too, that the towel is not supposed to terrify your bird. It’s a good idea to play “towel games” now and then, covering and uncovering your bird while providing praise and special seeds for treats. That way, your bird won’t come to believe the appearance of the towel is always a sign of something uncomfortable and unpleasant to come. — Gina Spadafori Do you have a pet question?

Obesity in pets has led a top veterinary school to open a special clinic to help. • Can fat camp be far behind? Veterinarian Dr. Deborah Linger, a certified veterinary nutritionist, has opened an obesity clinic at the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University. In yet another example of how trends in human medicine are mirrored in veterinary medicine, the program offers a medical-based regimen that includes counseling on nutrition and exercise, all aimed at helping pet owners trim down their animal companions. More than half of all pets are overweight or obese, and the problem is far from cosmetic — excess weight triggers chronic disease, including diabetes, and makes problems such as arthritis worse. • Following the shocking deaths of lions, tigers, bears and other exotic animals last fall on an Ohio farm after their owner released them before committing suicide, the state has now put regulations in place in hopes of preventing similar tragedies. Ohio was once one of the easiest and least regulated places to keep exotic animals, but no more: The new law prohibits buying, selling, transferring and trading exotic animals. Those who already have them will be allowed to keep them, but they must obtain a license, insurance and have the pets microchipped, among other requirements. • The latest specialty in veterinary medicine is one that focuses specifically on animal welfare, reports DVM360. com. The American Veterinary Medical Association’s recent recognition of the American College of Animal Welfare gives 23 veterinarians the right to be certified as experts in the field. Others will be granted the status after meeting requirements set by the new group. The ACAW’s mission is to advance animal welfare through education, certification and scientific investigation, and to ensure that the veterinary profession leads advances in animal welfare knowledge. The AVMA currently recognizes 22 other veterinary specialty organizations. — Gina Spadafori

BLAINE, Minn. — Competition breeds excellence. Or at least that’s what second year head coach Dan Daikawa is hoping for. With an increased talent level and more overall leadership, Daikawa says he thinks the Ironmen are poised to put last year’s record behind them and start to make an impact in the North American Hockey League. He said he’s been particularly impressed with the physicality of practice that has shown just how much deeper this team is than last year. It’s made for better competition in practice. “I don’t think we have to worry about teams coming in and beating us up this year,” Daikawa said. “Practices have been hard. Guys have been holding eachother accountable and we didn’t have that last year. That’s why it’s been physical and guys have been fighting.” Physical indeed, though. Just a day before the season started on Wednesday, forward Nathan Ropelewski was hurt in practice and could miss some time. “He said he heard his knee pop,” Daikawa said while sitting in a waiting room on Tuesday. “But we’ve just been informed it’s a MCL strain, which means he won’t miss serious time like we originally thought. He probably won’t play this week, but he’s the only guy that will probably be out for us.” It’s a good sign for Jamestown, though, which was seemingly snakebite for an entire season last year. They lost numerous guys to injuries throughout the season and rarely had the same lineup on a week-toweek basis. It seemingly prevented them from getting the ball rolling. Daikawa can hope for better luck this year, especially in a place where the wheels fell off last year. Yes, it was a rude welcome to the NAHL last year for the Jamestown Ironmen and Daikawa. After winning their first two games in Chicago

Shaughnessy’s first year in the NAHL, but does have plenty of experience as well. “We think we’re OK there,” Daikawa said referring to his goaltenders. “These four games will let us know, but it helps that they have experience.” Key returnees for Jamestown include Aaron Scheppelman, Brett Szajner, Ryan Urso, Luc Gerdes and Jeff McFarland. Start with defenseman Scheppelman and Szajner. Scheppelman was a captain last year and had 17 points and 100 penalty minutes exactly. He’ll sorely need to improve his -32 rating last year. Szajner scored four goals and had five assists before he blew his knee out in January and missed the rest of the season. “Szajner’s looking good,” Daikawa said. “The knee is holding up and I’m surprised how well he’s stepped up. Scheppelman’s leadership is back automatically and that’s a plus.” The forwards McFarland, Urso and By Justin Michael Gerdes should play even bigger Jamestown Jammers roles this season. McFarland led the teams in scoring with 23 goals and 40 points last season. Gerdes had JAMESTOWN, N.Y. — The 2012 season has concluded, now we look back and reflect on what was another Continued on pg 5 successful season of Jammers baseball both on and off the field.

Nola and 2B Anthony Gomez. while on their way to Minnesota for the Showcase Tournament, the Ironmen dropped their next eight games and were practically out of the North Division race before it even started. That slump started with four straight blowout losses in Blaine. Now, back nearly a year later for the 10th annual league-wide tournament, Daikawa says his team is ready to go and has a more prepared squad for the season opener. “We went out in the summer and got veterans that we think can help us out right away,” Daikawa said. “We have older kids who can play and some younger kids that we think can come in and score for us. It’s a mix that we didn’t have last year.” Some of those veterans Jamestown picked up included four players acquired in a trade from Aberdeen. Forwards Ross Pavek, Joe Mottiqua, Tyler Dunagan and goaltender Reid Mimmack should all play key roles this year for Jamestown. Pavek and Mottiqua, in particular, should help out up front. Pavek scored six goals and had over 100 penalty minutes between his two stops in Aberdeen and Alaska last year. He had 13 goals and 149 penalty minutes the year before.

Mottiqua offers the same help. He had 12 goals and 73 penalty minutes between Aberdeen and Texas last year. He had five goals and 105 penalty minutes for Texas in 201011. They’re a pair of veterans that immediately give Jamestown some sorely needed size. “They’re two guys that can do it all, play tough and score,” Daikawa said. “They’re 30-points, 100-penalty minute type guys that we didn’t have last year.” Mimmack will help burden the loss of goalie Joey Ballmer, who was drafted by the Sioux City Musketeers of the United States Hockey League this past summer. “It’s tough when you lose somebody like Ballmer,” Daikawa said. “He was a special kid on and off the ice and was really the face of this organization. “But Reid and Tim Shaughnessy are two guys with experience,” he continued. “It’s tough to have two 92-birth year guys, but we want to win.” The 1992 birth year means both of those players will have to move on at the end of the year. But Mimmack won 12 games between Aberdeen and Texas last year and had a goals against average of 2.56. It will be

Jamestown lost All-WNY senior lineman Cortland Haines to microscopic knee surgery before the year started. They lost two-year starter at quarterback Dennis Drew when he quit the team a week before the year started. Yet, the Red Raiders cruised to another blowout win 35-7 by beating up on AA North foe Niagara Falls on Saturday. Junior Jacob Sisson has done just fine taking over the reins under center, though. He threw two long touchdowns and added a long touchdown run right before the half ended to put Jamestown in complete control at 28-7. Da’Quan Hollingsworth ran for 98 yards and scored the first touchdown of the game. Senior Tristan Holland ran one in to put Jamestown up 14-0. Then Sisson connected on a 39-yard touchdown pass with senior Mike Watson. Sisson also had a 49-yard touchdown pass to Zach Panebianco in the second half. Panebianco also hit all three of his extra point attempts. Jamestown’s final five games are against AA South opponents, starting with Lancaster on Friday night. The upset of the weekend was Westfield shutting out Southwestern on the road with a 27-0 win behind Mike Okerlund’s three-touchdown performance. The win snapped a 29-game home winning streak by Southwestern, which dated all the way back to 2006 and was one of the bigger stunners of high school football in some time. Westfield goes out of league play with undefeated Sherman this weekend. Meanwhile, Southwestern, which was pegged as the C South favorite by everyone on the planet, has to fix things in a hurry before heading to Olean in a nonleague game. Make no mistake about it, C South is up for grabs. Fredonia had to come from behind to beat Allegany-Limestone — the team that beat Westfield in Week 1 — further throwing a wrench into Class C. But, a win is a win for Bob Ball, who saw his Hillbillies win 13-12 with some big help from junior Weston Ley. Ley, intercepted a pass with the Gators threatening to score and then scored the game winning touchdown midway in the fourth quarter. Elsewhere in Class C, Falconer got in the win column with a 24-12 win over Panama. Important for the Falcons who have four straight road games, three of which are in the league, starting next week against Cassadaga Valley. The loss for Panama sets the Panthers back a little, but their

main goal is the Class DD title, where they’re 1-0 with five straight league games coming up. Cassadaga Valley lost to Salamanca 24-8 to drop their record to 1-1. However, it was the Cougars first league game in C South and a bit of a setback to their option offense as they try to get back into the playoffs for the second straight year. They have three straight league games at home starting with aforementioned Falconer this week. Allegany-Limestone and Westfield follow. One of the biggest wins against a non-county team was scored by Dunkirk who saw coach Rob Genco pick up his first varsity victory in a wild game that the Marauders won 34-28. Zach Torrain ran for three touchdowns to carry Dunkirk all night, but it was quarterback Kevin Burns’ touchdown in the final seconds that won the game. In Class D, Maple Grove won again by beating Catt/Little Valley 30-6. The Red Dragons are now 2-0 and seem to be back to their usual dominant ways. The rivalry with Randolph continues next week as the Cardinals come into town for an important Week 3 matchup. It’s important because Randolph kept their season afloat by defeating Silver Creek 13-12 last weekend. The Black Knights were in complete control, up 12-7 late before they turned the ball over and watched Randolph capitalize by scoring a go-ahead touchdown seconds later. They’re now 0-2 and in desperate need of a win against I-Prep in Buffalo on Saturday afternoon, Also in Class D, Chautauqua Lake moved to 2-0 with a 12-6 win over Portville. The win was the 11th in a row for Thunderbirds dating back to last season and came on the heels of a defensive stand in the game’s final seconds. Sophomore Chandler Baker had another huge game and finished with 17 tackles and an interception. Finally, Frewsburg is 2-0 as well in Class D after crushing I-Prep 27-0. The Bears have Catt/Little Valley this week before a monster showdown with Maple Grove in Week 4. Sherman/Ripley defeated Pine Valley 35-7. The Wildcats are now 2-0 in Class DD and might just be the team to beat. Pine Valley is 0-2 and travels to Ellicottville this weekend, who lost to Clymer 20-14 this past week. It was a big win for the Pirates who erased a 14-0 deficit in the fourth quarter and scored the only touchdown in overtime when Jake Wiggers scored on a 16-yard touchdown run. Also in DD, Forestville lost to Franklinville 34-14. They host the aforementioned Panama in league play on Saturday.

After a promising offseason that landed the Bills amongst the nation’s most favorite of dark horses, Buffalo fell flat on its face in an opener that conversely landed them in a familiar spot — amongst the nation’s most favorite of laughingstocks. Yes, the social media websites were abuzz with never-ending jokes after Jeremy Kerley returned a 68-yard punt return untouched to give New York a 21-0 lead. The fun — or misery if you’re a diehard — continued when Ryan Fitzpatrick found a wide-open Antonio Cromartie for an interception that was returned for a touchdown when the second half started. And it turned downright laughable — regardless of allegiance — when Mark Sanchez easily hit Stephen Hill for a 17-yard touchdown to push the lead to 41-7 with a staggering 25 minutes still left in the game. Playoffs huh? Well I won’t go all Jim Mora on you. After all, it is one game. But the excuses have been flying out of my mouth for almost a year now. The Bills collapse in the second half last year? Too many injuries. The Bills reluctancy to fill glaring holes at quarterback, wide receiver? Confidence in young draft picks, and plus, Fitzpatrick will be fine when he’s healthy. Going 0-4 in the preseason? Two words. Pre. Season. Getting crushed in an opener, meaning they’ve now lost 9 of their last 10 regular season games and 13 of their last 14 if we count that preseason? Um, injuries? No more. At least not right now. No, I’m not going to sit here and tell you the Bills season is over. The important thing to realize is they’re only 0-1. Just as bad as the Green Bay Packers, New York Giants and New Orleans Saints. Yes, those three have won the last three Super Bowls. No, the Bills shouldn’t be mentioned in the same category, but the point stays the same, its only one game. So what do we make of this? Well for starters, if you weren’t quite convinced that the NFL is a quarterback league, you should be now. In today’s day and age, you’re only as good as your quarterback. The Washington Redskins look like nd they’ve gone from an annual out laughingstock to a legitimate - contender after dumping New th Orleans on the road by landing Robert Griffin. Some ripped them for giving up too much. n Well, 320 passing yards and 40 ded points later, the Redskins actually look like a contender. han Meanwhile, the Bills have

locked themselves into Fitzpatrick. To be honest, I have no clue what to make of this guy, but maybe it’s the Bills fan inside of me holding out hope that he’ll be fine. Still, you just feel like Ralph Wilson thinks he’s a franchise QB because he’s had to watch Kelly Holcomb, J.P. Losman and Trent Edwards for the last decade. Make no mistake about it though, I never thought Fitzpatrick was a Pro Bowler, but the Bills are going to have a tough time getting back to the 6-win total that they had last year if Fitzpatrick continues to play like this. Again, I think he’s better than Sunday, but how much longer can we wait to find out? The Bills might just be 0-1, but if Fitzpatrick doesn’t figure things out in the next two weeks, this team’s season might already be over by the time New England comes to town. That’s what has me so worried about Sunday’s performance. I didn’t necessarily think the Bills would win — or even had to — but they better figure things out in a hurry. For the record, I did have them winning on my useless chart as I mapped out 10 wins, but the real reason to be worried is what lies ahead. The Bills host Kansas City next week before travelling to Cleveland — two extremely winnable games. After that, though, they host New England and have back-to-back road games with San Francisco and Arizona — three extremely losable games. If you can find a way to get to 3-3, or even 2-4, without winning each of those next two games, I’d love to know about it. Thus, this team suddenly has no room for error starting this week. And how does that feel after witnessing what you did this past Sunday? How does it feel with starting running back Fred Jackson likely missing that entire stretch and extremely underrated inside receiver David Nelson missing the rest of the season? Maybe you think I’m crazy to write a team off so quickly — which I’m not really doing anyhow — but with such a difficult stretch from Games 4-9, the Bills have to get in the win column and build some confidence before that stretch hits. We all know how easy those last seven games might be, but what’s the use if Buffalo is 2-7 with battered egos, let alone bodies? I thought I’d know more about this team after one week, but for now, I’m still not convinced one way or the other. I still firmly believe the AFC is down and a 9-7 team could grab the second wild card. And, I’d like to think this defense will come around at some point and Fitzpatrick can find some of that magic from last year to get this ball rolling. It just better be soon. But, I’m with you Chan, don’t go kicking dirt on these guys just yet. After all, one week doesn’t mean much. Don’t forget the only winning season in the current 12-year debacle came in 2004 when they started 1-5, which including losing their opener. Here’s for hoping they turn it around much earlier than that.

Williams Caps Off Great Summer With Win At US Open

By Eddie Pells Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) — Serena Williams wrapped up her remarkable summer with the latest rendition of a scene that has become familiar the past few months. - Williams jumping up and down on the tennis court with a mile-wide smile across her face. - Williams picking up a bigtime prize — this time, the U.S. Open trophy, which will look good somewhere near the gold medals she won at the Olympics and the silver plate she took home from Wimbledon. If there was anything unexpected about her latest triumph, it was the challenge she faced from Victoria Azarenka, especially considering the way Williams dominated everyone she faced on the way to Sunday's final, to say nothing of the way the final started. Come the third set, with the sun going down and the stadium completely blanketed in shadows, Williams stood only two points away from a loss. She rediscovered her form in time, took the last four games of the match and won her fourth title at Flushing Meadows and 15th Grand Slam title overall with a 2-6, 6-2, 7-5 victory. It was the first women's U.S. Open final to go three sets since 1995. “If it was anybody other than Serena on the other side of the court, I'm not sure we'd be talking now,” said Patrick Mouratoglou, a coach who has been working with Williams recently. “But it was Serena. She was there. She's a winner and she's a champion.” Mouratoglou helped Williams engineer a restoration that began shortly after she lost in the first round of the French Open in May, the only openinground exit of her 49 career Grand Slam appearances. “She said, 'I want to win Wimbledon, I want to start now,”' Mouratoglou said. “That's simple. That's how it started.” Since then, Williams won both singles and doubles at Wimbledon, then matched that feat a month later at the London Olympics. The U.S. Open was the clincher — a two-week clinic during which she lost only 19 games over her first six matches, then put on a display in how to play pressure tennis when the stakes were the highest. Trailing 5-3 and serving at 30-all against Azarenka, the Australian Open champion seeded first in this tournament, Williams wrested back control of the match by winning 10 of the next 12 points.

“Obviously, I never give up,” Williams said. “I never, never quit. I've come back so many times in so many matches. I wasn't too nervous.” Indeed, for a woman who has had her share of flare-ups here in recent years, Williams barely showed a trace of emotion when this match was at its diciest. There was the smallest of hesitations for a second look after a serve was called out at 3-5, 30-15. And, when she closed out that game three points later, she did the quickest of skips - a nearly imperceptible celebration before a calm walk to the chair to get ready for the service break she had to have. She got it, then held serve, and then twice held off Azarenka when she was one point from forcing a third-set tiebreaker. The first save came on a backhand winner, one of 44 winners Williams hit to only 13 for her counterpunching, but less powerful, opponent. “Feels like there is no room for a mistake,” Azarenka said in describing what it's like dealing with Williams' game. “There is no room for a wrong decision.” Williams hasn't always played the role of cool customer in the crucible of Arthur Ashe Stadium. In the 2009 semifinals, she was angered by a foot-fault call that resulted in a double-fault, setting up match point for her opponent, Kim Clijsters. Williams brandished her racket at the line judge and got docked match point. Then, two years later, while losing to Sam Stosur in the 2011 final, Williams berated the chair umpire after losing a point for screaming before it had ended. There was a foot-fault call in this match, too, while Williams was serving at 40-0 while trailing 2-0 in the second set. She didn't react immediately, but when the game was over, she stared down the lineman while walking to her chair for the changeover. The linesman chuckled a bit. No biggie. “I'm just happy that she got through this one without any incident and was able to try to forget all that in the past,” said her mom, Oracene Price. “Because I think that was a lot in her mind.” Also on Williams' mind this summer has been her long journey back. Shortly after winning Wimbledon in 2010, she cut her feet on broken glass while on her way out of a restaurant in Germany. That led to two operations on her right foot. Later, she got clots in her lungs and needed to inject herself with a blood thinner. Those shots Continued on pg 10

Manning, Luck Have Opposite Openers By Barry Wilner Associated Press

A football tucked under his arm along with a victory, Peyton Manning could feel very comfortable in Denver. A win in your first game with a new team will do that. His replacement with the Colts, Andrew Luck, wasn't feeling anywhere near as satisfied Sunday. Then again, not many people thought his NFL debut would go smoothly. Manning made a successful return to the NFL from a year off recovering from neck surgeries, leading the Broncos past the Pittsburgh Steelers 31-19. The four-time MVP completed 19 of 26 passes for 253 yards and two touchdowns, including a 71-yarder to Demaryius Thomas that was the 400th of his career. “It's just one game ... and we should try to keep it in perspective,” he said. “I do know how hard I've worked to get here ... and it feels good. It's special. I definitely would say it's special.” Luck probably won't be using that description. He didn't do any better than Manning managed in his debut back in 1998. In a 41-21 loss at Chicago, the top overall draft pick was 23 of 45 for 309 yards and a touchdown. But he also threw three interceptions and was

sacked three times. Fourteen years ago, Manning went a slightly better 21 of 37 for 302 yards, but likewise threw three interceptions to a single TD pass. “There will be a lot of positives, a lot of negatives. We'll try to learn from it,” Luck said. “I'm still disappointed fresh off what happened, but we'll get over it.” Four other rookie quarterbacks made their NFL debuts Sunday. Robert Griffin III, the Heisman Trophy winner from Baylor and the No. 2 overall selection by the Redskins, was sensational and got the only win of his QB class. He went 19 for 26 for 320 yards and two touchdowns and added 42 yards rushing in a stunning 40-32 victory at New Orleans - the Saints' first game since the NFL punished them for

their bounty program. Miami's Ryan Tannehill struggled mightily in a 30-10 defeat at Houston, going 20 for 36 for 219 yards with three interceptions. Cleveland's Brandon Weeden was worse: 12 of 35 for 118 yards and four interceptions in a 17-16 loss to Philadelphia. And Seattle's Russell Wilson was 18 of 34 for 153 yards with a touchdown and an interception and rushed for 20 yards in a 20-16 loss at Arizona. Also, San Francisco shocked Green Bay at Lambeau Field 30-22, New England beat Tennessee 34-13, Minnesota outlasted Jacksonville 26-23 in overtime, the New York Jets took Buffalo 48-28, Detroit beat St. Louis 27-23, Atlanta took Kansas City 40-24, and Tampa Bay defeated Carolina 16-10.

On Wednesday night, Dallas upended the defending NFL champion New York Giants 24-17. The opening weekend concludes Monday night with Cincinnati at Baltimore and San Diego at Oakland. Replacement officials were in the spotlight in two places. At Detroit, Shannon Eastin became the first woman to officiate an NFL regular-season game when she worked as a line judge. At Arizona, the officials gave an extra timeout in the final minute to the Seahawks, who still couldn't pull out their game with the Cardinals.

Broncos 31, Steelers 19 At Denver, Manning threw his 400th touchdown pass in his 208th career game. Dan Marino did it in his 227th game and Brett Favre in his 228th. But he also spent plenty of time watching. Roethlisberger led a clockchewing offense that had the ball for 10 minutes longer than Denver did. At one point, Roethlisberger had taken 30 snaps to Manning's one — a kneel-down — during two monstrous drives that spanned halftime. “Roethlisberger was awesome on third down,” Manning Continued on pg 10

Tulane Player Stable After Surgery On Spine Contributed Article Associated Press

TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Loved ones and teammates of a Tulane University football player who fractured his spine while making a tackle will face an agonizing wait to learn how serious the injury is and whether it will leave him paralyzed. Senior safety Devon Walker was in stable condition and recovering in an intensivecare unit after a three-hour surgery to stabilize his spine at St. Francis Hospital, said Dr. Greg Stewart, Tulane's director of sports medicine. “These kind of injuries take 24, 48, sometimes 72 hours to fully declare themselves,” Stewart said before the surgery. “We don't know what the long-term implications and outcomes are going to be.” Stewart said he was with Walker on the field, in the ambulance and at the hospital after the injury Saturday. He said Walker was put into a cervical collar and couldn't see much of what was happening, so Stewart explained what was going on. Walker was talking with doctors as he was being treated, Stewart said.

Walker's parents had traveled to Oklahoma to be with their son, and they were “doing as well as can be expected,” Stewart said. “They're like the rest of us hopeful and prayerful.” Stewart was back in New Orleans on Sunday, as were Walker's teammates. He said Tulane's athletic director and the football team's trainer remained in Oklahoma with Walker. Walker's injury occurred on the final play of the first half, hours after Tulane opened the Conference USA portion of its schedule against Tulsa. Tulsa was leading 35-3 and facing a fourth-and-2 with the ball at

the 33-yard line on Saturday when the Golden Hurricane called timeout. Tulane then called timeout. When play resumed, Tulsa quarterback Cody Green tossed a short pass to Willie Carter, who caught it at about the 28, and turned upfield. He was tackled around the 17-yard line, with defensive tackle Julius Warmsley and Walker sandwiching him and apparently smashing their helmets together. Medical personnel from both teams tended to Walker as he lay on the field. FOX Sports reported a hush went over the crowd at H.A. Chapman Stadium as Walker was attended

to, and that several coaches were in tears as he was taken away in an ambulance. Spectators bowed their heads as someone on the field led the stadium in prayer. Dr. Buddy Savoie said during a postgame news conference that Walker never completely lost consciousness and was breathing on his own. “He was stable when we transported him,” Savoie said. “I do not think, based on the information we have, his life was ever in danger.” Walker is a senior majoring in cell and molecular biology. His brother, Raynard, told The Associated Press on Saturday that their mother was watching the game on television when her son was injured. Tulane head coach Curtis Johnson said after the 45-10 loss that while Walker was on the field, Johnson told Walker that he was praying for him and that help was on the way. He said the mood among players was somber and called the day his most difficult ever. “It was tremendous that they finished the game, as I thought about just saying 'Hey look, let's not do anything else. Let's just get on the road and go.”'

Lockout Watch: Labor Talks On Hold During Quiet Weekend Contributed Article Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) — After the first face-to-face meeting in a week between the NHL and the players' association, the sides spent a relatively quiet weekend apart as the clock ticks down toward another potential lockout. With less than a week remaining before the collective bargaining agreement between the league and the players runs out, no new negotiations took place after an informal return to the table Friday. There was hope that negotiations would resume Saturday or Sunday, but the communication between the sides was limited to phone and email instead. NHLPA executive director

Donald Fehr, and his top assistant and brother, Steve Fehr, sat down with NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman and deputy commissioner Bill Daly on Friday for a status check after a week of little to

no communication. The sides last held formal discussions on the previous Friday, but those ended with Donald Fehr telling reporters the talks were in a ''recess.'' The current CBA expires Sat-

urday, and Bettman has said the league will lock out the players if a deal isn't reached by then. The preseason schedule is set to begin on Sept. 19, and the regular season is supposed to start on Oct. 11. The expiring deal has been in place since 2005 following the previous lockout that forced the cancelation of the entire 2004-05 season and playoffs. Meanwhile, Montreal Canadiens players have hired Montreal-based lawyer Michael Cohen, who sent a cease and desist letter to the team's owners and the NHL on Friday. They claim it would be unlawful for the players to be locked out because the NHLPA isn't certified by the Quebec Labor Board. Under Quebec law, a union must have that certification for an employer to enact a lockout.

his Yes, the puck has already dropped is for the 2012-13 North Ameria- can Hockey League season. Last me weekend, the Port Huron Fighting h. Falcons swept a two-gamer from the Johnstown Tomahawks to kick off the season. Meanwhile, the rest of the league will get things started this week in Blaine, Minn. for the 10th he annual NAHL Showcase. But for those Jamestown Ironmen fans, the league did undergo another g's major facelift, changing around the r- entire scope of the league. The league hat is down to 24 teams from last year’s 28. That change forced the league to realign divisions, going down to four me divisions from last year’s five. The biggest change to that just so happened to affect the Ironmen. Jamestown will now play in the eight-team North Division that somehow got even tougher from last year’s fives team division. New to the division en this year are the Springfield Jr. Blues, cta-Janesville Jets, Johnstown Tomahawks and the Soo Eagles. Soo (Sault Ste. he Marie, Mich.), however, will just be a familiar opponent in unfamiliar colors.

as last year, except the exclusion of the New Mexico Mustangs, who ceased operations after the 2011-12 season. Amarillo won the division last year and owned the league’s best record of 46-7-7 for 99 points. Topeka and Odessa also made the playoffs, joining Texas. The West Division took over a fair overhaul with the Avalanche moving to Johnstown and the Dawson Creek Rage also ceasing operations

after 2011-12 season. That means the division is down four teams with the Fairbanks Ice Dogs, Fresno Monsters, Kenai River Brown Bears and Wenatchee Wild. The Ice Dogs won the division last year and also cruised through the playoffs, sweeping both West Division playoff series’. They fell in the Robertson Cup semifinals. Luckily for the Ironmen, they play nine games against this division, none of which will be against Fairbanks. They play four each (two home, two away) against Wenatchee and Fresno and one against Kenai River this week in Minnesota. The final division is the Central Division, which consists of the Aberdeen Wings, Austin Bruins, Bismarck Bobcats, Brookings Blizzard, Coulee Region Chill and Minot Minotauros. Brookings joins the league after moving from Alexandria, so it’s a familiar face for each team in the league anyhow. That means the only newcomer is Coulee Region, who comes over from the defunct Midwest Division. Two other teams besides the aforementioned New Mexico Mustangs and Dawson Creek Rage ceased operations after last year’s season. The Chicago Hitmen and St. Louis Bandits, both out of the Midwest Division, will not play this year. Chicago folded at the end of the year while winning just 13 games. Meanwhile, St. Louis, who has won five division titles in the last six years, will not play this season in a surprise move. The Bandits could be back in 2013-14, but that remains to be seen.

IRONMEN SEASON OPENER continued from pg 1

20 points in 33 games for Jamestown once he came over from Topeka and Urso looks a like he’ll move up to forward e this year. Gerdes and Urso L will each have two more years ould left in the NAHL, while it’s McFarland’s last. he he “Urso’s a lot stronger and er Gerdes too,” Daikawa said. “They put on weight and that’s n what it’s all about.” t. We’ll see if Jamestown can

get off to a better start. They were 3-9 last year and after climbing back into the picture in December, never strung together a winning streak after the calendar year ended. More experience might be what the doctor ordered. “We had 10 93’s on our team at the beginning of last year,” Daikawa said, referring to the 93-birth year, rookies in the NAHL. “We’re much more

experienced this season.” They open the Showcase with Bismarck Wednesday morning, which was after this issue went to print. After that they play Minot Thursday (1:15 p.m.), Corpus Christi Friday (4:30 p.m.) and Kenai River Saturday (9:15 a.m.) All games can be followed live on NAHL.com. . “We open the showcase — we’re the first game, so a lot of

eyes will be on us,” Daikawa said. “Most importantly, we want to get better every game. But, if you can get out of the showcase with a 2-2 record, you did pretty good.” Jamestown then opens at home on Friday, Sept. 21 against Port Huron. A much for forgiving schedule than last year’s, which had Jamestown play it’s first 10 games away from the Jamestown

Savings Bank Ice Arena. Daikawa said he hopes that his team’s commitment to community will start to play a factor in the team’s fan support. “I think in past year’s, teams have come and gone,” he said. “And I think a lot people during the summer didn’t know if we would be back, but we’re here to stay. We’ll continue to be a part of this community

through reading programs with schools and with hockey clinics throughout the area. We hope it can make the supper that much better. “We know we have to go up against football early on the year,” he said laughing. “But we’re excited to be back. I’m excited to be back. My family is excited to be back. We live out in Lakewood and have really loved our time here.”

Close, but no Cup Chase cigar

Catch me if you can Chase for Sprint Cup to begin at Chicagoland 2012 Chase lineup, following the Federated Auto Parts 400 at Richmond Int’l Raceway

Denny Hamlin (finished 18th) 2,012; leader

He led the most laps at Richmond, but his bid for a third straight Sprint Cup victory didn’t work out in the rain-delayed race at his home track. But his four regular-season race wins put him atop the standings after the points were reset heading into the 10-race, championship-deciding Chase for the Sprint Cup.

Jimmie Johnson (finished 13th) 2,009; behind -3

Many in the sport consider him the favorite to win the Chase, based on his five championships in the past six seasons. But he hasn’t been dominant in recent weeks.

Tony Stewart (finished fourth) 2,009; behind -3

He rebounded at Richmond after lackluster performances of late, including one at Atlanta where he started on the pole but finished two laps off the pace.

Brad Keselowski (finished seventh) 2,009; behind -3

His consistency all season make him a strong contender for the title. In the past 10 races he’s finished an average of 4.6 other than at Bristol, where he started third but was swept up in a crash.

Greg Biffle (finished ninth) 2,006; behind -6

He was the points leader before the standings were reset for the Chase, which proves that he’s been the best so far this season at accumulating points, which is the key to winning championships.

Clint Bowyer (finished first) 2,006; behind -6

His move to Michael Waltrip Racing this season looks like a smart one. He’ll head into the Chase with the momentum of a win at Richmond, one that came because he stretched his fuel mileage in the closing laps.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. (finished 14th) 2,003; behind -9

NASCAR’s most popular driver is having one of his best seasons in years and appears to have learned from his previous mistakes in championship hunts. He’s one of four Hendrick Motorsports drivers in the Chase for the Sprint Cup.

Matt Kenseth (finished fifth) 2,003; behind -9

Kevin Harvick (finished 10th) 2,000; behind -12

Reuniting with crew chief Gil Martin might be the spark he needs to kick his performance into high gear as the Chase begins. Since Martin returned to lead his team, the winless Harvick has had a fifth-place finish at Atlanta and a 10th at Richmond.

He’s been steady all season but had victory slip from his grasp in several races, including two weeks ago at Atlanta, where he was leading until a late-race caution flag opened the door for a win by Denny Hamlin.

Kasey Kahne (finished 12th) 2,000; behind -12

It wasn’t until the ninth race of the season, at Richmond, that Kahne overcame an early season slump and moved into the top 25 in the standings. Now he has two wins and took one of the two wild card slots for the Chase.

Acknowledged as one of NASCAR’s most talented drivers and a proven championship winner, the big question surrounding Kenseth is whether his upcoming move to Joe Gibbs Racing from Roush Fenway Racing will distract from his title run. He says it won’t.

Martin Truex Jr. (finished 21st) 2,000; behind -12

Jeff Gordon (finished second) 2,000; behind -12

He’s NASCAR’s Comeback Kid at this point of the season. After getting a win at Pocono six races ago to get in the running for a wild card berth, he finished the regular season with a third-place finish at Bristol and runner-up runs at Atlanta and Richmond to beat out Kyle Busch for the final Chase berth.

For Kyle Busch, missing the cut for the Chase for the Sprint Cup had to be a bitter pill to swallow. This season, Busch, who had been a regular competitor in the Nationwide and Camping World Truck series, cut back on his racing in the lower divisions to focus on his Cup car and winning a championship. Instead the change appears to have backfired. Busch, who had been averaging 21 wins a season across the three divisions for the past four years, has just one victory to date this year – a Cup win in the first Richmond race. Busch entered Saturday’s race at Richmond ahead of Jeff Gordon in the race for the final wild card Chase slot, but Busch’s pit strategy backfired, leaving him with a 16th-place finish, while Gordon finished second and took the Chase berth. Ryan Newman, who spent much of the season among the top 10 in points, but also failed to make the Chase, had little to say after the race. “It’s disappointing,” he said. “I don’t really know what to say other than that. We gave it all we had in the Quicken Loans Chevrolet, and we didn’t get the win we needed to make the Chase.” Carl Edwards will be on the outside of the Chase looking in this year, after tying eventual champion Tony Stewart in points last year before going on to lose the title on the tie-breaker of race wins. “We will just go try to build the best team we can for next year and try to make sure a Ford wins this championship,” he said.

Rear suspension rule reviewed It looks like Brad Keselowski was right when he said there was something tricky about the rear suspensions on Jimmie Johnson’s No. 48 Chevrolet and some other cars in the Sprint Cup Series. Last week, NASCAR issued a technical bulletin reconfirming the amount of travel in the truck arms that support the rear end of the cars. The amount of free movement in the bushings is limited to 1/4 inch. “Previously approved front truck trailing arm bushing assemblies which allow more than 1/4 inch of movement, or that do not move freely throughout the 1/4 inch travel, will no longer be permitted for use in competition,” the statement read, although series director John Darby said in the statement that the bulletin is not a rules change. “It reconfirms how far teams can go with their rear suspension setups,” Darby said. “Teams have found that with a car’s rear axle steer, more is better, as it helps with aero and gets the cars through the corners faster. We are just reminding the teams what the limitations are and that they cannot go past these limitations. “We will likely address this further in our 2013 rule book.”

Tony Eury Sr. departs from JRM JR Motorsports and its competition director Tony Eury Sr. have parted ways. Eury Sr. is a veteran crew chief who won numerous races with his late brother-in-law Dale Earnhardt, as well as his nephew Dale Earnhardt Jr. He also was crew chief for all nine of JR Motorsports’ Nationwide Series victories. JR Motorsports is owned by Earnhardt Jr., his sister Kelley, Tony Eury Jr. and Rick Hendrick. Eury Jr. told reporters at Richmond that the team’s best chance to win races is to put Cup drivers in its cars. JR Motorsports currently fields cars full-time for Danica Patrick and Cole Whitt, plus a third car for various drivers in selected events. “I’m not sure what’s next for me, and I’m not sure I’m in a hurry to find out,” Eury Sr. said in a team release.

Morgan Shepherd: Veteran driver still racing strong at 70 People used to say that life begins at 40. Today, as folks in general are living longer, it’s probably more like 60. But for veteran NASCAR driver Morgan Shepherd, his life as a big money earner in NASCAR actually began at age 44 with a stunning upset victory at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Shepherd, who is still racing in NASCAR’s Nationwide Series at age 70, got his first superspeedway win and just the second of his Cup career driving Jack Beebe’s No. 47 Buick in the 1986 Atlanta 500. Shepherd recently took time from working on his No. 89 Nationwide Series car to talk about that milestone in a career that has seen him be a dominant Sportsman racer, then move to NASCAR’s major series, where he’s won 15 Nationwide and four Cup races, three of them at Atlanta. “We went down there and tested,” he said of his ’86 win. The veteran crew chief “Suitcase Jake” Elder, known for working for numerous teams and drivers, was with him. Elder and Shepherd initially disagreed on how to tune the car. “The car wasn’t turning like I wanted it to turn, so I told Jake to hang some weight behind the rear wheel,” Shepherd said. “He said: ‘We ain’t hanging no weight behind the rear wheel.’ “I said: ‘Jake, we’re down here to test, ain’t we?’” Elder finally gave in, and the car’s handling improved. Shepherd qualified third for the race and kept fine-tuning the car until he had the lead in the closing laps. “About three laps to go, I couldn’t believe it,” he said. “Dale Earnhardt was still behind me. Terry Labonte and Darrell Waltrip and Bill Elliott were behind him, and we were probably going to pull this thing off. “Tears came in my eyes, and I could hardly see where I was going those last two laps. “I was 44 then, and I thought I was on my way out of racing, and all of the sudden my stock went up. After I won that race it all changed. I started getting better rides, but it wasn’t until 1989 that got my first real good ride. I didn’t win any real money until I was in my 50s.” Shepherd won again at Atlanta in 1990 driving for Bud Moore and again in ’93 with the Wood Brothers. Today, Father Time is beginning to catch up with Shepherd. He still looks fit, drives hard and works hard, but as the years have elapsed, his opportuni-

So he soldiers on in his under-funded, self-owned car, racing on a tight budget and sometimes failing to qualify for races. While other teams have cooks to prepare pre-race meals, Shepherd had a ham and Doritos sandwich on plain white bread before his most recent start at Atlanta. But he wasn’t complaining. He’d found speed that had eluded him in recent weeks and made the field on his qualifying speed. Of course it was at Atlanta, a track that has always been kind to him. “I always thought NASCAR should run all their races there,” he said. “There was no use in going anywhere else. I always had good luck there. Some things in life you just can’t explain.”

2012 Champions Crowned at Lake Erie Speedway Contributed Article Lake Erie Speedway

North East, Pa. — The night was a perfect set up for the final race night of the 2012 Season Fueled By Kwik Fill as just over 4,000 fans watched the battle for the 2012 Championships during Championship Night/Career Concepts Night at the Races. The first feature race of the night was the NASCAR Street Stocks, which started with the No. 11k Dave Krawczyk in the points lead by only one point over the second place position held by No. 19 Kaity Kicinski. On lap five, there was a collision in turn one that involved the No. 55 Charlie Anderson, No. 11k Dave Krawczyk , No. 26 Ed McConnell, and No. 00 Jack Hall. Others swerved to avoid the collision as the caution flag was out for the clean up on the track. Krawczyk was involved in the collision but was able to go to the pit area under caution to temporarily fix the damage and make it back before the green flag waved again to restart the racing. Shortly after the restart, Krawczyk slowed on the backstretch and then pulled his car to the infield due to ongoing damage he sustained in the collision. Kicinski continued to work her way up front as she chased down No. 20 John Denny, who built nearly a ten-car length lead over the rest of the field. In third place, No. 28 Travis Rammelt remained right with Kicinski and finally made a move on the inside to pass her and take over the second place position. No. 71 Rich Miller came from behind to join Kicinski in the battle for the third place position and successfully passed her going into lap 18. With Krawczyk parked on the infield, it was clear Kicinski, in the fourth place position, was the 2012 Street Stock Champion with only a few laps remaining. Denny ran excellent the entire race and crossed the finish line in first place followed by Rammelt in second place and Miller in third place. The second race of the night featured the Jensens Target Collision Compacts and only

five points separated first place, No. 88 Dan Bittinger, from second place, No. 14 Jim Tobin. The race started off bumpy as the drivers remained clustered together for the first two laps jockeying for position. On the third lap, Bittinger pulled to the front to secure a comfortable lead while Tobin and No. 19 Brian Carlson went side by side in turns one and two. Tobin passed Carlson on the inside on lap eight and began his chase of Bittinger who was comfortably out front in the first place position. Tobin encountered some lap traffic that held him up from closing in on Bittinger, who had already piloted his way through the lap traffic while building his lead. No. 25 Garrett Rammelt passed Carlson with only two laps remaining to take over the third place spot, but he did not have enough laps left to contend for a higher finishing position. As the checkered flags waved, Bittinger crossed the finish line well out in front to take the win and secure his place as the 2012 Jensens Target Collision Champion. Tobin settled for second place in the feature event, as well as second place in the points standings after an impressive season. Rammelt finished the feature event in third place. Next up, the INEX Bandoleros were on display

for a 12 lap feature event. No. 71 Tyler McArdle took an early lead on lap one after starting on the pole with No. 97 Darrin Waldron on the outside pole. On lap four, Waldron and No. 3 Jeff Dunfee III worked their way through lap traffic towards McArdle who was still out in the lead. Just past the halfway point of the race, No. 2 Chase Firestone spun out in turn two and brought out the caution flag as he was unable to restart his car. On the single file restart, Waldron got a good jump and passed McArdle on the outside for the lead. Two laps later, McArdle got into the back of Waldron causing Waldron to spin and both drivers were sent to the tail end of the lead lap cars for the restart. Dunfee III was now the leader on the restart with No. 9 Donald Buell in second place and No. 24 Matt Mead in the third place position. Another caution flag was brought out due to a collision at the tail end of the field that caused No. 33 Hayden Fogle to spin out. On the restart, Dunfee III held onto his lead and went on to take the checkered flag for his sixth feature win of the season, followed by Donald Buell in second place and Mead finished in third place. No. 32 Wesley McCray finished fifth in the feature event, which was enough to crown him the overall points champion in the INEX Bandolero Division at

Lake Erie Speedway. After a short intermission that involved an autograph session with competitors from the NASCAR Modifieds Division, the Legends were staged on the backstretch for a photo shoot that involved the pyrotechnics and fireworks. Immediately following the photo shoot, the INEX Legends were ready to take the green flag in a 25 lap feature event. No. 1 Brandon DeBrakeleer, the overall points leader coming into the night, started on the outside pole as No. 39 Jeremy Haudricourt held the pole position. DeBrakeleer took the early lead from Haudricourt as No. 62 Jason Knox followed close behind in third place. Haudricourt took the lead back from DeBrakeleer on lap three, as Knox also passed DeBrakeleer for the second place position. On lap four, a caution flag went up when No. 22x Wendell Napper spun out in turn four, which sent him to the tail end of the line for the restart. On the restart, going into turn one, No. 13 Brad Salatino and No. 5a Brandon Abbott collided while collecting No. 81 Michael Walker in the wreckage. A lengthy clean up ensued as Walker was the only car able to continue with the race. On the restart, Haudricourt continued to hold the lead as another caution flag flew on lap six for a collision between No. 99 Justin Bolton and No. 83 RJ White which also collected No. 82 Tyler Turner in the wreckage. This caution forced a single file restart as Haudricourt held onto his lead with Knox right on his bumper contending for the first place position. On lap nine, No. 04 Mel Murphy brought out another caution as the front end of his car was engulfed in flames. Murphy was unable to continue the race and suffered no serious injuries from the fire. Haudricourt and Knox continued their battle for the first place position with the points leader DeBrakeleer close in third followed by No. 98 Brett Coon. Bolton, who was sent to the back earlier in the race, made incredible moves as he soared towards the front and worked his way up to fifth place, impressively passing Continued on pg 10

Sanchez, Jets Rout Bills In Opener

By Dennis Waszak Jr. Associated Press

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Rex Ryan refused to gloat. No bragging or bold declarations, either. en- The New York Jets coach had just watched his team light up i the scoreboard all afternoon ily after hearing for weeks about how inept it was on offense. wonNo touchdowns by the starters 5.16. in a winless preseason? Maybe the Jets really were holding o back their best stuff for the regular season. How else to explain a 48-28 drubbing of the lle Buffalo Bills on Sunday that set a franchise record for most points scored in an opener? “We were up for it, there's no question about it,” Ryan said. “I think vindication, or chip on the shoulder, maybe that's not the right (words). We were just excited to play. We feel good.” And it certainly showed. One touchdown after another, the New York Jets eased all those preseason concerns about their low-scoring offense. With a whole lot of Mark Sanchez, a sprinkling of Tim Tebow and a dominant first-half effort by the defense, New York manhandled the Bills. “We knew what we could do,” wide receiver Jeremy Kerley said. “We just showed the world today.” e And silenced the critics. At te least for a week. “It looked like we were making up for lost time there,” ster Sanchez said. Sanchez threw three touchdown passes, including two to rookie Stephen Hill, Kerley had a touchdown catch and

a punt return for a score, and Antonio Cromartie took one of New York's three interceptions of Ryan Fitzpatrick to the end zone. “It's a great win, there's no doubt about it,” Sanchez said. “But, we've got lots of work to do.” There were plenty of touchdowns in this one for the Jets, who capped their scoring outburst on Shonn Greene's late 1-yard scoring run. Sanchez had the offense humming along so well, the fans at MetLife Stadium actually booed Tebow when he failed to gain a yard when he took a direct snap in the second quarter. The video board quickly flashed a sign: “Quiet! Offense At Work!” Not everything went right, though, as the Jets allowed 195 yards rushing, including a career-high 169 by C.J. Spiller, and All-Pro cornerback Darrelle Revis left in the fourth quarter with a head injury that was not believed to be a concussion. Perhaps the only other thing that went wrong came early in the fourth quarter when Ryan

ing doesn't include hands to the face. When someone tells the officials that and they just walk away, or they don't call it, that's disheartening.” Tebow wasn't used that much by the Jets, but added a tricky element to the offense and finished with five rushes for 11 yards and didn't throw a pass. “After a little bit, we didn't show too much,” Tebow said of the wildcat plays. “We were able to get in there and have some efficient plays.” Fitzpatrick was 18 of 32 for 195 yards and three touchdowns — to Chandler, Stevie Johnson and Donald Jones — and the three interceptions. “We're not going to go around like the sky is falling,” Bills coach Chan Gailey said. “I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to let them do that.” The Jets opened the game to loud cheers as both Sanchez and Tebow took the field, with the backup quarterback lined up as a slot receiver. Three plays later, Tebow took the snap with Sanchez lined up at wide receiver and handed to Joe McKnight for a 3-yard run. With the offense moving along, Sanchez took off running and tried to shovel a pass to Jeff Cumberland, who had the ball tip off his hands and right to Bills linebacker Bryan Scott. But the Jets got the ball right back a few minutes later when Revis stepped in front of Fitzpatrick's pass intended for Johnson. New York used its wildcat package a few times to get into the end zone on its next drive as Sanchez hit Kerley on a 12yard pass for a touchdown. The Jets' defense stepped up

Ryan went down to a knee and then laughed as he got up. “As excited and happy as I am about this win, it's only one win,” Ryan said. “Obviously, we need a lot more to get to where we want to get to, which is the playoffs.” The game marked the highly anticipated debuts of Tebow, who worked in the wildcat a little bit and also recovered a late onside kick by Buffalo, and Bills defensive end Mario Williams — who was a nonfactor against a Jets offensive line that protected Sanchez throughout and gave him plenty of time to throw. Williams finished with just one tackle and complained about the replacement officials after the game. “Obviously, some of the officials on the field don't understand what constitutes an offsetting penalty, and that's disappointing,” said Williams, who signed a six-year, $100 million deal in the offseason that is the biggest for a defensive player. “Also, pass block- Continued on pg 10

Nelson Suffers Season-Ending Injury, Jackson Out Indeﬁnitely By John Wawrow Associated Press

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) ht's — As if a deflating seasonopening loss wasn't bad enough in putting a dent in an the Buffalo Bills' high expecta- tions. Now they have injuries to two key offensive players to contend with. Receiver David Nelson will a's miss the rest of the season st after tearing a ligament in his wo right knee. The news is at least a little more encouraging for running back Fred Jackson, who will miss at least three weeks after he also hurt his right knee. Coach Chan Gailey provided the update Monday afternoon, a day after both players were hurt in a dreadful 48-28 loss at the New York Jets. “It's a setback,” Gailey said. “You lose experience and you lose versatility. But I think our guys can adjust.” The injuries hit two key players on an offense that's already off to an inconsistent start

after producing four turnovers against the Jets, including three interceptions by starter Ryan Fitzpatrick. Buffalo attempts to regroup in preparing to face the Kansas City Chiefs (0-1) in its home opener Sunday.

Nelson has been a reliable target in the slot, and finished second on the team with 61 catches for 658 yards and five touchdowns last season. Jackson is a respected team leader who's been the Bills' dual-threat workhorse in

both the running and receiving game. Despite missing the final six games with a broken bone in his right leg last year, Jackson still finished with 1,376 combined yards rushing and receiving to account for nearly a quarter of the Bills total offense. “It's a huge blow,” running back C.J. Spiller said. “But we can't sit around and mope and not regain focus. This just means somebody on offense has got to step up.” Spiller will take over for Jackson, much like he did last year after Jackson was hurt. Spiller did a solid job of filling in against the Jets in a game he finished with a career-best 169 yards rushing, including a 56-yard touchdown. Gailey described Jackson's injury as a sprained knee, and expects him to miss between three and seven weeks. A person familiar with the injury told The Associated Press that tests conducted on Monday were inconclusive, and added that doctors will reContinued on pg 10

Falcons Dump Chiefs In Opener Contributed Article Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The best assist that Matt Ryan dished out Sunday wasn't one of the two touchdown throws to Julio Jones, or even his pass that found Tony Gonzalez for a third-quarter touchdown. It was after Gonzalez had scored, when Ryan picked up a loose ball rolling around in the end zone. The Falcons quarterback ran over to Gonzalez, shoved it into his arms and told the longtime Chiefs tight end to celebrate, just like he did in the old days at Arrowhead Stadium. Gonzalez took a couple steps, leaped and dunked it over the goal post. The perfect celebration for the perfect season opener, as far as the Falcons were concerned. Ryan passed for 299 yards, and even added a touchdown run to his three scores through the air, helping the Falcons whip Kansas City 4024. Gonzalez had five catches for 53 yards as he began what is likely the final season of his sterling career in the place where it all began. “It's been like a homecoming for me,” Gonzalez said. “There's nothing better than Chiefs fans. There are so many of them and so many diehards. It's a special feeling to come home like this.” The reason Gonzalez ended up with Atlanta before the 2009 season is because the Chiefs were rebuilding and he wanted to play for a contender. He'd never won a playoff game in Kansas City, and still hasn't with the Falcons - so he's back for one more season in the trenches. Gonzalez's touchdown catch in the third quarter gave Atlanta a 34-17 lead, part of a streak of 20 unanswered points that turned a close, offensive shootout into a rout. “He's such a great part of this organization, you know, probably the greatest tight end to ever play the game. I think deep down in their hearts, Kansas City fans were happy to see that one more time,” Ryan said, pausing. “Maybe not at the time. Maybe in retrospect they will be.” The Chiefs' Matt Cassel threw

for 258 yards and had touchdowns running and throwing, but he also fumbled deep in Kansas City territory to set up a short TD, and his two interceptions created short fields that the Falcons turned into field goals by Matt Bryant. Jamaal Charles had 87 yards rushing, and Tony Moeaki had three catches for 37 yards, both providing a bright spot for Kansas City. The pair of them, along with safety Eric Berry, played their first regular-season games since tearing their left ACLs last season. Things weren't nearly as bright for the Chiefs defense, which had Pro Bowl linebacker Tamba Hali sitting out a one-game suspension for violating the league's substance-abuse policy. Starting safety Kendrick Lewis (right shoulder), cornerback Brandon Flowers (right heel) and defensive tackle Anthony Toribio (right ankle) were inactive due to injuries, and that seemed like chum in the water to one of the league's top passing offenses. “The season is a marathon, not a sprint,” Chiefs coach Romeo Crennel said. “We have at least 15 more to play, and we cannot let this game negatively affect the next 15.” The next two are on the road: Buffalo and New Orleans. “It's only one game in a long season,” Cassel said. “We obviously have to make a lot of corrections and get better as a football team. We've got to play collectively. We've got a lot of resilient guys in there. We're going to get back to work and get this thing fixed.” The training staff may have as much to say as the coaches about that. Without four starters on defense, Ryan spent Sunday picking apart what was one of the NFL's best defenses toward the end of last season. Both of his touchdown passes to Jones came before the half, and Bryant's two field goals helped stake Atlanta to a 2017 lead. Momentum finally shifted for good in the third quarter, when normally reliable Chiefs kicker Ryan Succop banged a 40-yard try off the upright.

Sabres Owner Sparks Development In Buffalo By John Wawrow Associated Press

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Byron Brown is fine with either title, mayor of Buffalo or “Pegulaville,” which is what Sabres fans have begun affectionately referring to their city in tribute to the NHL franchise's owner Terry Pegula. It works either way, because Brown knows all too well that this rustbelt, hard-luck town with a reputation for chicken wings, harsh winters and two professional sports teams without a championship between them has been called far worse. “I absolutely get a kick out of it,” Brown said, referring to the nickname “because it's another positive way the community is being branded.” He's more impressed with the man behind the name, because of what Pegula has done for Buffalo in the 18 months since the Pennsylvania billionaire purchased the Sabres. “He's a person of action. He's someone that gets things done,” Brown said. “One of the first conversations I had after he came to town is that he said, 'I want to help you build Buffalo.”' That vow is turning into reality because Pegulaville is in for an expansion. The Pegula-backed and fully privately funded $123-million development proposal to build a multi-purpose complex on a downtown block across the street from the Sabres arena received the green light last week. Construction is set to start in March on a 614,000 square-foot building

that is designed to feature a 200-room hotel, two ice rinks (including one with an 1,800-seating capacity), retail/ restaurant space and parking garage. For Buffalo, it's the latest in a string of under-construction and proposed developments set to be built on prime land along the newly redeveloped Canalside harbor front district. For Pegula, who made his fortune in the natural gas industry and whose worth has been estimated at $3 billion, it's his latest $100-million-plus endeavor. Over the past two years, Pegula has committed more than $100 million to his alma mater Penn State to fund the construction of a hockey arena and elevate the school's hockey

And that doesn't include the $8 million he spent on renovating the Sabres locker room or the some $140 million the team has committed in salary to sign free agents and secure its own stars. Now he is turning his attention to the city itself. “I've always been what you call a Northeasterner, and it just happens that my favorite hockey team resided in Buffalo,” said Pegula, who previously lived in western New York and now makes his home in Florida. “And I see where the city needs some assistance.”

Buffalo is but a shadow of the bustling manufacturing-driven and Erie Canal Great Lakes shipping gateway it was in its heyday. It now ranks as the nation's thirdpoorest city with 250,000 or more residents, behind only Detroit and Cleveland. And its population of 260,000 is half of what it was in the 1950s. It was while Pegula was negotiating to purchase the Sabres that he informed his closest advisers that his presence in the city wouldn't stop at hockey. Whether it was glancing at the undeveloped land around the city's waterfront or seeing the aging grain mills just south of the Sabres arena, Pegula began considering ideas of how he could contribute.

88-yard touchdown pass to Pierre Garcon, tying for the second-longest scoring pass by a quarterback making his NFL debut. “I've won a high school state championship and a bowl game in college, but to play in the NFL, the pinnacle of it all, and win your first game against a Hall of Famer in Drew Brees, it's at the top,” Griffin said while cradling the game ball he had just been given. “After the game, (Brees)

Before Vick rallied his team, he played poorly and showed rustiness after playing just 12 snaps during the preseason because of injuries. “It stings,” Weeden said. “It's going to sting for a few days, but I'm not going to let it get to me.”

Skora III worked the bumper of Fullone and made several attempts to pass on the inside, but Fullone continued to hold the first

injury that's nagged him for much of the offseason. There are concerns that Johnson will have to continue playing through the pain for the rest of this year. Rookie third-round draft pick T.J. Graham will get a chance to play after he was left inactive on Sunday. Graham is a raw, but speedy player, whom the Bills hoped they could ease into their offense. Overall, it was certainly not the way the Bills were

anticipating to start their season in a bid to show they were ready to be contenders. Their defense was supposed to be improved following an offseason in which Buffalo signed defensive end Mario Williams to a six-year $100 million contract. And there were high hopes on offense, because the unit returned mostly intact after showing glimpses of prominence last season. Rather than looking like the team that got

TOUGH LOSE TO THE JETS continued from pg 9 again a few minutes later, this time with Kyle Wilson picking off Fitzpatrick's pass intended for David Nelson, who later left with a knee injury. Five plays later, Sanchez connected with Hill for a 33-yard score on the opening snap of the second quarter to put the Jets up 14-0. “He definitely turned it on today,” Kerley said of Sanchez. “I think there's always a big

That is when the opportunity to redevelop the former Webster Block parking lot was proposed. “We're excited to bring this thing together,” Pegula said. “When we get this thing done, hopefully, we'll make Buffalo part of a hockey destination in the U.S. It'll be a magnet and it'll help everybody in the area.” The Sabres estimate the new facility will annually attract 500,000 visitors. The ice rinks will be open to the public and double as the team's practice facility. With an additional two rinks downtown, the Sabres also see this as an opportunity to lure national and international hockey tournaments. Buffalo drew more than 330,000 fans to the 11-day 2011 World Junior hockey championship, making it the second-best attended tournament. The Sabres also hosted the 2003 NCAA Frozen Four. Canisius College, whose hockey team plays at a rink off campus, is also in negotiations with the Sabres to relocate to the downtown facility. Canisius athletic director Bill Maher is impressed with what Pegula has accomplished in such a short time. “Terry came in and created a tremendous amount of excitement when he purchased the Sabres. And he's backed that excitement up with action,” Maher said. “Buffalo has always been searching for a silver bullet, and I think there's any one silver bullet. It's going to take a lot of hard work and dedication. I think that's one of the things that Terry Pegula's done.”

place position working hard to stay just ahead of Skora III and not allow that opportunity to make the pass on the inside. After several failed attempts on the inside, Skora III ducked in behind Fullone and coordinated a “championship move” on the outside to successfully pass Fullone for the lead. With only five laps remaining, Skora III now had officially proved that he was ready to be crowned a Lake Erie Speedway Champion as he went on to secure the first place position as the checkered flags flew for the last time of the 2012 Season Fueled By Kwik Fill. Fullone earned a second place finish and Heitzhaus finished in third place. Along with the impressive feature race and being crowned the 2012 Plyler Overhead Door Late Model Champion, Skora III made another “championship move” in victory lane as he got down on one knee to propose to his girlfriend. She accepted his “championship move” and proposal as every fan in attendance witnessed an amazing end to an amazing season.

THE BILLS, THE INJURIES, THE BEGINNING OF THE SEASON continued from pg 9 evaluate the injury within the next 10 days. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the team has not released this information. Jackson was hurt early in the second quarter when he was cutting across to his right and Jets safety LaRon Landry hit Jackson just above the left knee. Jackson had already planted his right foot, and his right knee bent awkwardly as he was hit. Jackson was able to walk off on his own and test his leg on

the sideline before heading off to the locker room with a towel draped over his head. The injury capped a string of what-else-can-go-wrong events that hit Buffalo. The Jets had already built a 21-0 lead by producing two scoring drives off of two Fitzpatrick interceptions, followed by Jeremy Kerley scoring on a 68-yard punt return. Nelson was hurt early into the fourth quarter when he went down away from the play. Af-

ter being helped off the field, he was spotted walking on the injured leg along the sideline. Nelson's injury further thins the depth and experience of an already young and limping group of receivers. Buffalo opened the season with six receivers, including Brad Smith, who doubles as the team's wildcat quarterback. And starter Stevie Johnson, who had four catches for 55 yards and a score against the Jets, is hampered by a groin

off to a 5-2 start last season, the Bills instead resembled the sloppy, patchwork unit that unraveled in finishing the season 1-8. “There's a lot of disappointment in this locker room as well. And the only thing you can do is correct your mistakes and get better,” Fitzpatrick said. “We still have a ton of confidence, but we've just got to go out there and win and play well. “And that corrects everything.”

Spin control Here are two statements you hear all the time: “Grooves cause backspin,” and “The more you hit down on the ball, the more you’ll spin it.” The first is wrong; the second is a “maybe.” Grooves and spin While they influence spin, grooves themselves don’t cause it. A golf ball’s spin is caused mainly by the club’s loft, although other factors, such as swing speed, can affect spin. Clubface grooves are important in keeping the face “fairway dry” by acting as conduits to remove grass, water and other friction-reducing elements that get between the face and the ball. “Fairway dry” means that the grooves help make non-fairway lies as close to fairway lies as possible by siphoning off friction-reducing elements. A dry fairway face means increased friction, and to a ball traveling up an inclined face, that means more spin. Because of the loft, a 5-iron at 25 degrees spins less than a sand wedge at 56 degrees. Dryer, more-lofted clubfaces increase spin and launch lower shots while wet, slippery surfaces allow the ball to slide up the face without turning over as much, launching higher shots with less spin that often fly farther than expected with less control. Angle of attack Hitting down on the ball increases the steepness of approach, or angle of attack, but it doesn’t always create more backspin. The explanation is a little complicated, but it reveals how the pros spin the ball to a stop in one situation, then run the ball to the target in another. While the swing looks similar for both shots, the expert is skillfully manipulating the geometry of impact by changing techniques. Here’s how it works. Spin loft is the difference between the angle of attack and the effective loft. Given the same speed and center contact, increasing the angle of attack produces more spin only if the differential between the two widens. All else being equal, if you hit down on the ball by 2 more degrees, but deloft the clubface by 2 more degrees, you will not increase the spin because you have not altered the spin loft differential. However, if you hit down an extra 2 degrees and keep the clubface loft the same, you widen the differential, thereby increasing the spin. A player who understands this can hit down on a 50-yard pitch and make it run, and then, with a change in technique, can hit a two-bounces-andbite shot.

BIRDIES AND BOGEYS

Dynamic balance About one-third of your body weight is in your arms, shoulders and head, and at 100 mph, a 12-ounce golf club’s effective weight is over 30 pounds, so you can image the force trying to pull you out of your golf balance. When it succeeds, it triggers your natural righting instinct, which causes you to bolt upright. You can’t stay down and through the shot no matter what your good intentions were at address. Remember, balance is a self-organizing principle of your golf swing, so always swing to balance. Four basic re-balance strategies are employed by your body, depending on the severity of balance disruption, and they’re activated from the ground up, i.e., feet first. Even though static balance sets the stage, it’s dynamic balance, once the club

is in motion, that ABOUT THE WRITER produces a good Dr. T.J. strike at impact. Tomasi is a teaching When you shift professional your weight to in Port St. your toes during Lucie, Fla. Visit his your swing, the website at brain prepares tjtomasi.com. your body for jumping, and these are not the motor networks you want firing while you are trying to hit down on a golf ball. Keep your weight flowing by first loading up your right side on the backswing, then loading weight into your front side as you start down to the ball. And while you shift, make sure to turn. This shift/turn will allow a steady state of golf balance, which is the key to a repeatable motion.

This all-arms swing with very little body rotation is bound to pull the upper body toward the ground, triggering the righting instinct and pulling this player bolt upright.

Ways to tell bees to buzz off

Q: I play a course that has a lot of bees on several of the holes, and on the tee they drive us crazy and sometimes follow me down the fairway. Bug spray doesn’t help. Any suggestions? — G.G. A: Bees can be bothersome, but even more problematic is the West Nile virus transmitted by a mosquito bite. It can be deadly. The best way to stay bug free is to make yourself unattractive. No, I’m not suggesting you should dress like John Daly, but buzzing things like mosquitoes and bees, which get in your ear just as you

start your backswing, are enamored with one aspect of the way you dress — the color of your clothes. Bugs love red, blue or black. But if you must wear your flame red shirt, like Tiger, try another strategy: Eat a lot of garlic before you play. The offensive odor is released through your pores and the bugs don’t like it. Also, you might want to find out if your course allows one-somes.

Pardon this personal question, but would you kill yourself if it would make you immortal? Dr. Kenneth Hayworth is too young to retire, but he’s already talking about it because it’s part of his plan to live forever. First he has to die with his brain in good shape, so he can preserve all the good stuff — what he calls “early ‘retirement’ to the future.” Hayworth is a neuroscientist at Harvard whose focus is a new specialty called Connectomics — mapping the brain, then copying it and putting that copy into a robot body. Sounds reasonable so far, right? “The human race is on a beeline to mind uploading,” Hayworth says. “We will preserve a brain, slice it up, simulate it on a computer, and hook it up to a robot body.” And when the robot wears out or becomes out of date, just upload a copy of your brain into another robot body.

Note: Phil Mickelson, one of the best, most natural putters in the world, didn’t make the list, largely because he’s been taking conflicting instruction from the Daves — Dave Pelz and Dave Stockton. He’s currently ranked No. 12 in putting and has switched to the claw grip. Insider Takeaway: Listen to only one voice!

Slow play not a problem for immortals the

“By all accounts … he is a good golfer,” said Sen. Marco Rubio about President Barack Obama. “Our problem is not that he’s a bad person. Our problem is that he’s a bad president.” Given my proposal now before the U.N. Committee for the Resolution of Really Big Problems — all disputes between nations must be decided by an 18-hole match between heads-of-state, winner takes all — should we replace our golfer-in-chief when his golf game could come in handy? I know President Obama can beat Iran’s Ahmadinejad as well as the guy who heads up Hezbollah. Putin — no problem. Queen Elizabeth has lost a lot of yardage on her tee ball, and she’d have to play the back tees. The only one who could have given Obama trouble was Kim Jong-il of North Korea, who once shot a 25 for 18 holes, with five holes-in-one, but he died (no doubt of exaggeration). The president’s toughest live opponent by far is the emir of Elbonia, Manuel Angel de la Cruz Dilbertie, who can make birdies faster than he can sign his name — but since we have no beef with Elbonia, no prob-le-mo.

“He’s looking at that putt more with his right eye than usual.” — Announcer Frank Nobilo, after Tiger Woods, who was nine under at the time, finally missed a 6-footer in the second round of the Deutsche Bank Championship. The color commentators on TV, such as Peter Kostis, Gary McCord and Nobilo, attempt to explain why every shot went astray, and this leads to silly suppositions such as the one above from the usually reliable Nobilo. I know the pressure to fill dead air is compelling, but to be honest, they could say, “I have no idea what happened,” or “Tour players on average miss a little less than half the time from 6 feet, and that was one of them.”

Most people watch TV golf only on the weekends, so they get to see the pros with the late tee times playing their best. They don’t see the guys who were playing so badly they missed the cut. This selectivity can give the impression that pros play well all the time, but this isn’t true. Follow them in person so you can see every shot on Thursday and you’ll get a more realistic assessment. The one thing they do far better than the average golfer is manage their game using their

While this all seems a bit batty, Hayworth and others say uploading a brain could be a reality before the end of the century. But is there anything happening in the near term? According to Hayworth, founder of the Brain Preservation Foundation, “We might have a whole mouse brain preserved very soon.” Think of it: Eventually there could be storehouses with DVDs of millions of brains. You won’t have to learn how to play golf on your own, but simply buy the golf brain of an expert. For those who just want great golf and the quiet life, upload the Hogan brain; if you want the great golf-party brain, go for the Woods model. The bottom line is that forever is a long time, and with all that time on your hands, a 30-hour round of golf will be just what the doctor ordered. Living forever is the cure for slow play.

Caffeine and golf don’t mix For some players, golf is a stressful game, and if you already have blood pressure problems, coffee and golf can be an unhealthy mix. A study done at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Oklahoma City suggests that people should avoid consuming caffeine during stressful times because the combination of stress and caffeine can spike blood pressure to dangerous levels, especially if you have a history of high pressure. So just in case, it might be a good idea to skip your morning java before your round, or switch to decaf. Or play so well it won’t matter.

What are you working on?” “Is this a new driver? Gee, it feels really heavy to me.” “You know, we’re playing pretty slowly; maybe we should speed up a bit.”

Festival of Grapes Celebrates 45th Year Called “Longest Running, All-Volunteer Festival in NYS” credited with serving in the U.S. Army National Guard and after graduation from college, joined his brother Sam as an accountant in the firm of Schrantz and Crino. He went on to own and operate his own music stores, R.J. Crino Music in Dunkirk and Jamestown. Not only was Crino the initiator and first president of the Festival of Grapes but also he remained active for many years.

By Patricia Pihl Managing Editor

Richard J. “Dick” Crino was on a motorcycle ride through the countryside with his wife Sally, when the “vision” for the festival of Grapes came to him. He proposed the idea to the Silver Creek Jaycees, and the idea grew until the event was incorporated as a festival in 1968. It has continued as a celebration every third weekend in September. According to 2012 committee member Lisa Romano, the Festival of Grapes is the longest consecutively run all volunteer festival in New York State. She credits the 17-member board for making the event a reality each year. “Our people make sure it happens; in 2009, when there was a flood we still succeeded in having the festival, and we did it after 9-11. We are doing it to support our local grape industry which supports our local economy.” Crino, who passed in February of 2011,

Silver Creek: A History Special to The Star The first settlers of what is now Silver Creek arrived here from Massachusetts with their families in 1803. They were Abel Cleveland, David Dickinson and John E. Howard. Dickinson purchased over six hundred acres from the Holland Land Company and settled on what is now Lake Ave. Both Cleveland and Dickinson had milling experience in New England so they built the first grist mill for grinding corn. The War of 1812, caused these two men to leave their settlement, leaving John E. Howard as the only settler. Silver Creek’s first developer was Oliver Lee; descendant of William Brewster of the Mayflower, veteran of the War of 1812 and co-owner of a mercantile business in

Westfield. He arrived in Silver Creek in 1828, built a brick structure to house his business (formerly the Ludeman Block on the site that is presently Rite

Aid) and later bought John Howard’s 350 acres which included the waterfront. He built his home on Central Avenue in 1832, overlooking the lake. Lee made many improvements to the community (roadwork, bridges and buildings) and opened up a road to the lake (presently Jackson St). Around this time, he built a 150 ft. long pier with a 75 ft. long “L” shaped portion off Jackson St. He then added a warehouse and The Steamboat Hotel. This started the shipping industry in Silver Creek. It was also the Lee family that donated the land for the Village Park downtown. Name and Incorporation The original name of the Village of Silver Creek was FAYETTE. Former Village Historian Louis Pelletter found a partial, unidentified newspaper clipping that states, “… the other creek was named Silver Creek because in the smooth shale bed will be found varieties of ore bearing rock. Years of water constantly flowing over these particles, shining them in the process, gives a glowing silver appearance to the bed of the creek.” Oliver Lee was credited with spearheading the drive to name the village after the unusual creek. The name of the village was changed from Fayette to Silver Creek on February 14, 1826. The Village was incorporated on June 1, 1848 on the petition of Charles H. Lee and others. Noah

The Ward-Dickinson Dining Car, manufactured in 1938, is one of the few in the country that still retains much of its original shape, style and equipment. It was donated to the Village by Steve Pagano in 1992 (submitted photo)

D. Snow was the first president, as the mayors were called at that time. Abiatha Gates, Charles H. Lee, George W. Tew and Austin Clark were the first trustees. John Tilton was collector, John R. McDonald was clerk and Amos Dow was treasurer. Masonry in Silver Creek Hanover Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons, was instituted at Forestville, February 5, 1824. The charter members included Luther Thwing, Ezra Puffer, Seth Snow, Albert H. Camp, and Warren Griswold. It was discontinued in 1828 but was re-chartered in 1849. Hanover Lodge still operates today and members continue to contribute to their community and the Chautauqua District. They are perennial winners of the Masonic golf tournament each year.  Big Black Walnut One of the most impressive parts of Silver Creek’s history is the famous Big Black Walnut Tree that once grew here. It was said to have been the biggest tree east of the

Rocky Mountains. The tree blew down in 1822, and remained there for three years. Then Luther Heaton, a local grocer, had a thirteen foot section cut from the tree and hollowed out to be used

for an addition to his store. The section measured about thirty-one feet in circumference and over ten feet in diameter. A man was said to have ridden through the tree on horseback. A floor was

laid and a roof was built on the tree section. The Black Walnut Tree could now seat twenty people. Soon two area businessmen purchased the tree and took it to Buffalo, via Lake Erie, to be exhibited. After running out of money they were forced to sell the tree. The new owners took it down the newly opened Erie Canal to New York City. The tree was sold and sold again and ended up in a museum in London where it was destroyed in a fire. The Black Walnut Tree stood near where Ward Ave. meets Route 20, and a monument made out of one of the Continued on page 8

SILVER CREEK: A HISTORY, cont’d from page 6 first millstones, now commemorating the spot, was placed there by the N.S.D.A.R. in 1928. The Burning of “The Washington” and the Sinking of the “Erie” During the summer of 1838, The Washington set out on her maiden voyage from Buffalo to Cleveland. At 2:00 am, a fire started in the boiler room of the ship. At the time the boat was about 3 miles off the shores of Silver Creek. People from the village saved several of the passengers, but an estimated 40 people were lost by burning or drowning. The day following the tragedy, a burial service was held in the orchard on the Oliver Lee estate. Survivors

stayed in Silver Creek, hoping for the bodies of relatives to wash ashore. On August 10, 1841, at eight in the evening, the steamship, Erie, was taking a load of about four hundred emigrants from Buffalo to Erie Pa. When the ship was only a few miles off the shore of Silver Creek a can of varnish ignited and the ship burst into flames. The captain immediately headed toward shore and while only about a mile from shore the ship went under. The next morning the shore was lined with over two hundred and fifty dead bodies of those who couldn’t make the swim. This incident is often considered the most tragic of the Lake

Erie disasters. The Grain Cleaning Industry The S. Howes Co. has been important in the development of the village. It started in 1864, when the first grain cleaning machinery shop began production with Alpheus and Norman Babcock in charge. The following year Simeon Howes became a partner and the firms name became known as Howes Babcock and Company, and in the same year they made and sold 200 machines. Later, Albert Horton joined and soon sold his interest to Carlos Ewell but by 1888, Simeon Howes became sole proprietor and the company still bears his name today. At one time

eighty percent of all the grain cleaning machinery was being manufactured in Silver Creek. Skew Arch Silver Creek’s famous Skew Arch located over Jackson St. is similar to only one other in the world. A skew arch differs from a regular arch in that the outside angles are parallel but not at right angles. The arch, built in 1869, was designed by a Frenchman who was deaf and dumb. A beautiful rendition of the builders art, a structure that any lover of quality masonry will admire. Train Wreck In 1886, an eastbound train was traveling to Niagara Falls. Orders called for the train to pass a westbound freight at Silver Creek. The engineer went through the station without stopping. As a result, the two trains rammed head-on around

a sharp curve. The baggage car completely telescoped the smoking car. Twenty men were killed. Fortunately, in 1886 women did not ride in smoking cars. The engineer and conductor were indicted for manslaughter for countermanding the dispatchers orders. The Fire of 1921 The most disastrous fire in village history occurred in 1921. Firecrackers started the blaze which destroyed the Methodist Church, the Park Ave. Hotel, the trolley station, the grand-

stand of the ball park and other buildings on the west side of Main St. The Silver Creek Fire Department is a centerpiece of the community and also maintains a fantastic lakeside training and recreation facility. Equipped with the most up to date and modern equipment this Fire Department second to none in the county. Howard “Bob” Ehmke Silver Creek’s most famous resident is Howard

Just a tidbit for your information another thing that Bob Ehmke did that will live forever in baseball history; he gave up the first homer on his way to 60 to Babe Ruth on April 15th 1927.

end of September and features a ride midway, food vendors, wine tent, children’s and adult events, live music, craft fair, grape stomping and a grand parade that begins on Sunday at 1 p.m. in downtown Silver Creek. The grape stomping contest inspired by Chautauqua County’s most famous personage Lucille Ball, is always the highlight of the weekend. So whether it’s for the special occasions or the beauty that this unique community offers every day come and spend some time.

Fruits of Labor Popularity of Local Wine Making Reflects Cultural Shift By Patricia Pihl Managing Editor

The aroma of grapes wafting though the air is a familiar fall experience in Northern Chautauqua County, a clear indication that the annual ritual of harvesting and pressing the region’s bounty is underway. Unlike years past, however, the industry has adapted to a changing American palette that increasingly chooses wine as its alcoholic beverage of choice. Wine lovers and home vintners are also increasingly knowledgeable about the ever-growing varieties and hybrids used for their beverage of choice. Rick Walker of Walkers Fruit Farms, whose family owns and operates 80 acres in Forestville, has been in business since the 1950’s but began processing common

varieties like Concord and Niagara for juice in the early 1970s. “People have become much more educated on wine. At one time it was either beer or wine, now (wine) is the most drank alcoholic beverage in the U.S. In some states, he says wine is sold in grocery stores - one reason, he says, it may be increasing in popularity. In the 70s and 80s, wine making was more of ethnic tradition- with most of the wine drinkers being either Italian or Portuguese, who, according to Walker, would make 200 gallons in 50 gallon barrels- which would often turn to vinegar before half the barrel was finished. Today, Walker sells very few barrels. Instead, he says the amateur vintner “may make 200 gallons, but he’s making 18 differ-

Rick Walker stands next to five-gallon juice containers ready for shipment to home wine makers.

ent varieties in 5 gallon carboys…where the ethnic way was to make a red and a white, and

that’s about it. “ Walker says there are currently 10,000 home wine makers on his

mailing list. Some receive their juice via UPS. No longer a vanilla-chocolate choice, popular reds include Baco Noir, Foch, Rougeon, Chambourcin, Douchon and among the favored whites are Seyval, Vidal, Triminette, and Cayuga. “Now with the ease of five gallon glass carboys, the siphon tubes, the bottles and other options, it’s a lot easier to make better wines,” Walker says. Although it sells only 10% of its juice to home wine makers, Walkers is a wealth of information on the wine making process, offering step by step brochures, and when in doubt, questions can always be directed to Rick. Walkers also has a wine tasting room, so prospective winemakers can get a better handle on the varieties and flavors

that appeal to them. In addition, when winemakers buy the juice rather than use fruit to make wine, many of the steps and guesswork has been taken out of the process. Details such as sugar tests, adding peptic enzymes to prevent cloudiness, or heating red grapes to get the color out are all details that they no longer have to worry about. “It’s a little bit different taking our juice and fermenting it, than using fruit. We’ve done a lot of the steps for you.” Home wine makers also have the flexibility to tweak flavors and sweetness beyond what the commercial wineries can produce. Walker explains, “If you go to a winery and they are making Cayuga White and its dry- and you like the flavor of Cayuga White, but you’d like it to taste sweeter, you - the home winemaker can sweeten it up.” Walkers has been pressing grapes since August 15- a little earlier due to the warmer than usual spring and summer, and will continue until the middle of October. The business will be open seven days a week from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. from September 20 until October 28, going half days in November. Walkers Fruit Farm is located on Route 39 in Forestville. For more information on home wine making, visit walkers at www.walkersfruitbasket.com or call 716-679-1292.
