30 years.” The building has been, in Carlson’s words, “put back in shape over the decades…and now we are ready to restore the machinery itself.” He says, the miller house across the road was purchased last year, which the Society hopes to have restored to its circa 1840’s vintage. In addition, the society has also added a museum building, barn, pavilion, hexagon boathouse and has acquired land across the road from the house. While Carlson doesn’t say how much has been raised for the project, he remarks, “We are the envy of the historical societies all over the county.” In total, he says “It’s an extremely expensive project- anywhere from $250,000-$500,000 dollars are involved in restoring that mill. “ During the festival, guests will see what organizers have called “the dramatic progress” that has accomplished in the past year, and the actual milling machinery will be run as a demonstration. In addition, grain will be ground and flour sold from portable stone mills adjacent to the installed equipment.

Dunkirk Lighthouse is Ground Zero for Ghost Hunters Searching for Lost Spirits Historic Landmark Will Be Site for Tour and Paranormal Investigation

By Daniel Meyer Star Contributing Writer

Future visitors to the Dunkirk Lighthouse and Veterans Park Museum will be able to participate in an investigative “ghost hunt” scheduled for later this month that will help whet the appetite of those curious about the paranormal. While the guided tours of the historic lighthouse and the Veterans Park Museum will allow visitors to enjoy the scenic view of Lake Erie from the lighthouse’s observation deck, tickets for the “Harvest Moon Hauntings” ghost hunt scheduled to take place on Saturday, September 29 are now available for purchase. Being held in conjunction with the “Village Haunts” and “Beyond Ghosts” organizations, the ghost hunting expedition will provide a unique fundraising opportunity that allows the volunteers who operate the facility to facilitate public investigations at a unique local venue that has historic significance that is believed to have paranormal activity. As interest in ghost hunting has grown in popularity in recent years due to the success of television shows such as “Most Haunted,” “Ghost Hunters,” “The Othersiders” and “Ghost Adventures,” more people are seeking out unique opportunities to investigate the paranormal first-hand. The paranormal does incorporate a sense of unsolved mystery and local folklore that usually stems from some

historical truth. While some facts are altered and added, it helps ghost hunters to learn more about the legend of a particular individual whose spirit is supposedly present amongst the living. The paranormal story involving the Dunkirk Lighthouse revolves around a man named Charlie, an individual who reportedly was a close friend of the lighthouse keeper who spent a lot of time at the lighthouse helping out with various tasks. According to the tale, one day some children found themselves in trouble when they got caught in the surf by the lighthouse. Charlie and the lighthouse keeper allegedly rushed out into the water to save the children, but unfortunately Charlie and two of the children drowned, while the lighthouse keeper and the rest of the children were able to make it back to the shore safely. The story that circulates around Chautauqua County and amongst ghost hunters who travel throughout Western New York is that the ghost of Charlie frequently roams the grounds of the Dunkirk Lighthouse and Veterans Park Museum. His spirit is one of the ghosts that paranormal investigators often try to come in contact with during the ghost hunts at the lighthouse. The tour and hunt provides entertainment for those who wish to further investigate the paranormal, giving participants firsthand access to learning more about the lesser-known history of their community.

RELIGION SECTION The Weekly Word

Getting to Know Your Spirit Nature

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

The key to having a victorious life is to know that you have to protect, train, and give priority to your spirit nature. Let me explain: You were designed and created by God to be a three part being. Let me show you this in the Bible. 1 Thessalonians 5:23 says, “And the very God of peace sanctify YOU COMPLETELY and I pray that God would that your SPIRIT and SOUL and BODY would be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Did you notice that this verse is talking about the complete you? Then the verse goes on to describe your three part design: Spirit and

Soul and Body. Let me describe this to you. First of all, and most importantly, you are a spirit being. That means that you are like God is this regard. It means that you are an eternal being that will exist forever; it’s just a matter of where and how. Your spirit is the real “you” on the inside. It is your “heart” or center of your being. The Bible describes your spirit as the “inner man” or “inward man” or “hidden man of the heart” (Eph 3:16, 2 Cor 4:16, 1 Pet 3:4). Psychology has discovered that every person has an inward personality but they call it the “subconscious

mind.” It’s not a subconscious mind that they’ve discovered; it’s the human spirit within a person. Have you ever had an inward intuition that you should or should not do something? That’s your spirit. Your spirit is the most important part of your design and what you do with your spirit will determine where you spend eternity and how victorious you are in this life. Secondly, you have a soul. So many people think that the soul and the spirit are the same thing but that’s not true. The word “soul” used in 1 Thessalonians 5:23 means “mind, intellect, will, and emotions.”

Your soul is the part of you that has emotions and feelings. Your soul is what gets afraid and nervous in the face of an apparent crisis. Your soul is what hurts when a loved one passes away. The soul is easily confused for the spirit but they are not the same. This is very, very important to understand. We must learn to tell the difference. We must learn what to do and what not to do with our mind if we are going to live in peace and have joy in our lives. Lastly, you live in a body. Your body consists of your flesh with all the five senses. Your body is what contacts

the physical realm. Now that should be a warning to all of us who understand anything about the Bible. Who rules the natural realm? That’s right, Satan does. The Bible tells us that Satan in the god of the natural physical world (Eph 2:2, 2 Cor 4:4). That means if we are not careful, our flesh will get onto Satan’s turf and hurt our lives. That’s why many people are hurting today in our society. They’ve gotten into wrong fleshy habits where Satan can destroy. Next week I will begin breaking down specifically what we need to do with all our three part makeup.

will be more likely to model the same behavior. Being a good example on how to relate to others properly provides a good platform from which to teach your growing children. When conflict arises between children, a parent should intervene in a calm and caring fashion (Proverbs 15:1). Yelling only reinforces the strife in the home. After assessing the situation, a parent can then walk their children through appropriate ways of handling the situation. Implementing

prayer, scriptures, and Biblical examples (what would Jesus do?), are excellent tools to use in teaching. As the children mature, it is also important to get them involved by asking their input on the best way to resolve a conflict. When the appropriate actions are taken, make sure they are reinforced with praise. What gets encouraged and rewarded gets repeated! Because they are still maturing, you may have to walk through the process over and over again. Don’t give up! It’s worth it in the long run.

Keeping the Faith

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

Dear Pastor, it seems my kids fight so much I feel more like a referee than a mom. How can I help them get along better? As a parent myself, I can understand your concern. It’s a real joy when our children get along and real grief when they don’t. First of all, I want to encourage you with the fact that it is normal when children experience differences with their siblings. Unfortunately, we can feel as if we’ve failed in parenting when our kids have

disagreements. It’s been said, however, “If everyone thinks alike, somebody is not thinking.” Differences will arise between children simply because they are different people. We don’t think it unusual if adults experience differences with other adults. If mature adults sometimes have a hard time dealing with these issues, how much harder is it for children? The difficulties come when differences between them aren’t handled correctly. The most important thing

a parent can do is to be a good example on how to get along with others. Children will learn more from the example set by their parents than any long discussions or rules on behavior. I have heard that “actions speak louder than words!” Children pay attention to how parents handle disagreements between themselves and others. No matter what the situation, our behaviors must demonstrate respect. If a parent responds by becoming angry and trying to get their way, the children

2012 Senior Olympics Kick Oﬀ At Frewsburg Rest Home Contributed Article Jackie Shannon

On the heels of the Summer Olympics in London, come our own local Olympics -- The Senior Olympics, which kicked off Friday at the Frewsburg Rest Home with an opening ceremony and games. Senior athletes from Emeritus at Lakewood, Frewsburg Rest Home, Hultquist Place, Lutheran Social Services and Warner Place Adult Day Program comprise this year’s competition. Frewsburg Rest Home Administrator, Dennis Bechmann said, “The games are different and the athletes may not be in the same shape as those who competed in London, but the competitive

spirit is there and the sense of pride in doing your very best is the same.” Present for the opening ceremony was Senior Services Coordinator for Office for the Aging, Christine Cheronis. In her address to this year’s Olympians, she cited qualities such as courage, bravery and a willingness to press on and go the extra mile as characteristics of Olympic athletes and encouraged our senior competitors to take pride in their accomplishments as the games progress. Mr. Bechmann reminded the teams of the message printed on the USA’s Men’s Basketball Team’s Nike T-shirt – Behold Unstoppable Greatness. He said, “We wish

the very best to all the teams as they compete for their respective Homes, and as we gaze upon our senior athletes, we will proudly say, “Behold unstoppable greatness.” The afternoon games, Ring Toss and Shuﬄeboard, proved exciting with Lutheran Social Services taking first place in Shuﬄeboard and Frewsburg Rest Home in first place for Ring Toss. “Next Friday the games continue at the Lutheran Social Services campus where our residents will compete in Basketball, Bowling and Golf.” said Jackie Shannon, Activities Director for the Frewsburg Rest Home. “It’s fun to travel to the various homes participating

in the Olympics. Some of our residents have competed in past Olympics and they look forward to seeing the friends they’ve made over the years.” She said each of the facilities take part in hosting the various games. There are a total of nine events including a Spelling Bee, Wii Bowling, Relay Race and Wheelchair Race, which will take place throughout the month of September. Overall, the games will include approximately 60 seniors from the five participating homes/ centers. Shannon said the level of participation is amazing and is a testimony to seniors throughout our community for maintaining a healthy, active lifestyle.

time heading for the Azores than Annapolis! An hour later, after collecting a third-place trophy and changing clothes, I became light-headed and felt a heavy pressure on my chest. My wife was right: It was more serious than I thought, and I needed help. There began an odyssey through the public health system, and at every stop — the EMS tech, the ER orderly, the ER docs and nurse-practitioner, the nurses and cardiac specialists — their verdict was unanimous. Swimming had saved my life. From past AARP Bulletin articles, I know the importance of speedy attention and recognized the coordinated care I was getting. The ambulance was equipped with an electrocardiogram machine that transmitted a dozen tracks of my heart rhythm directly to the Anne Arundel Medical Center’s emergency room.

The ER greeting was harsh: “You’ve had a heart attack.” The mobile EKG was the first indicator, elevated troponin levels in the blood tests confirmed it, and a catheterization was scheduled for early the next morning. Strapped to the gurney, I asked the surgeon if he utilized “The Checklist.” In a recent story about reducing hospital errors, we quoted Atul Gawande, M.D., a surgeon and advocate of a checklist — a pre-operation pause for workers in the operating room to introduce themselves one by one and describe their tasks. It works for aviation and highrise construction, Gawande argues, so why not in operating rooms? And, I now asked my surgeon, how about my operating room? “We do a time-out,” he replied, in which he introduces himself to the team, introduces the patient and describes the scheduled procedure. Not quite the same, but I was in no position to argue, and we proceeded with the timeout, followed by the left heart catheterization, an examina-

He found that plaque had ruptured and clogged an artery, disrupting blood flow to the heart. But just as quickly, blood had clotted, sealing the rupture, and the artery had reopened.

Everyone Has A Story: Gail L. Black Local Author Publishes Memoir, Asses & Angels

By Patricia Pihl Managing Editor

Speaking about her home and business on Lake Erie, Gail Black prefaces her unusual life story by saying, “Very unusual circumstances keep happening here.” Over the years she has crossed paths with strangers who traveled down her long dirt driveway - a narrow path flanked by grape vineyards on each side - who ultimately would change the course of her life. After experiencing divorce, widowhood and numerous challenges, the “angels” appeared in Black’s life- people who came to her to encourage and cajole her. The book was the result of the many influences in her life- both good and evil - and the story of how she learned to hope and survive on her journey from abuse to achievement. Asses & Angels details Black’s struggle before the creation of her business, the Vinewood Sugar Shack, a unique agritourism business visited by tourists and schoolchildren. They come to sample her 27 flavors of fruit syrup, buy small gifts from her shop and learn about the region’s unique features. This setting of idyllic beauty is, as she explains, “Where I have always belonged.” But it was not always that way.

In her story she talks about her husband’s suicide, which occurred while she spoke to him over the phone, her small son standing by her side. A horrific event capping off years of abuse at the hands the man who had bruised and beaten both Black and her children. She says her second husband started as a wonderful spouse. “It (the abuse) always starts out slowly, but once they have control of you it escalates. At the time (in the 70s) there was no place to go—no safe houses or hot lines to call for help.” But the book is ultimately a story of triumph. Black details how over the past 19 years people would come into her life- seemingly at randomonly to provide an opportunity for success and or happiness. Her book- out only a few weeks- has already given readers reason for hope, as demonstrated by the feedback she has received. Black recounts a story of how a man came up the driveway once in “a swirl of dust” and said, “I don’t know why I’m here; I was compelled to come down your driveway. Do you know why I’m here?” As they spoke, Black found out that each shared the same scar – a family members suicide- and she would be instrumental in helping his wife get back on her feet after the devastating

loss. That relationship would also lead to another fortuitous event- an endorsement of her book by a SUNY Fredonia professor. In another one of what Black calls the “dozens” of episodes, two retired Midwestern

The book was the result of the many inﬂuences in her life- both good and evil - and the story of how she learned to hope and survive on her journey from abuse to achievement. English teachers riding their bicycles across the country stopped. While hearing Black speak about her experiences, they encouraged her to begin writing her stories down. The reluctant author dismissed the idea, saying she was too busy, but left the door open with the comment, “well maybe someday.” She admitted that she would often write down sketches of the people she met “that had come down the

driveway.” One of the teachers returned on another occasion to deliver a book about their cross-country experiences. She providied Black with the one last push, saying “ ‘you write the stories, email them to us—we will guide you through the process- you need to write your story.’ ” Black has dedicated her book to her partner, Bruce Bradford, who was still another link in the completion of her story. The unusual circumstances of their meeting, whirlwind romance and enduring friendship, provides readers with still another example or her riveting story.

A Muddy Mess for Breast Cancer Area Women Participate in Dirty Girl Mud Run

By Katie Smith

Contributed Article WCA Hospital

Fourteen area women walked, ran, climbed and crawled through mud to raise money for breast cancer at the Dirty Girl 5K Mud Run obstacle course held at the Kissing Bridge Ski Lodge, on Saturday, Sept. 8. A portion of all the proceeds from the mud run are donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. With the weather forecast calling for rain throughout the day and into the evening, the fourteen women (who selected Muddy Mess as their team name) said the downpour didn’t hamper their enthusiasm or purpose to finish the hour-and-a-half obstacle course. “We were a muddy mess,” laughed Linda Johnson, breast cancer survivor who finished the last muddy water pit of the course holding onto the hands of her thirteen teammates. “I really didn’t know too much about the event although it sounded like fun. There were lots of steep hills and mud was everywhere, but it was one of the most exhilarating and enjoyable bonding experiences I have ever had and I would recommend everyone give it a try. After all, it’s for a great cause!” A non-competitive event, thousands of women got down and dirty at Kissing Bridge. Approximately 8,000

women came out, hitting up the challenging three-mile obstacle course. The Mud Run releases women in waves. A wave, having up to 160 women in it, is released every fifteen minutes. The Mud Run obstacle course includes mud crawls, water pits, mud hill scale and descent, cargo net, wall climb, hay bale climb and hoping through nets. Participants can donate their muddy gym shoes at the finish line to be given to those in need. After the race, participants are

treated to entertainment and refreshments. “We loved every dirty minute of it,” Heather Cater, Muddy Mess team coordinator who finished the 5K mud run course covered in mud, said. “I believe everyone knows someone who has suffered from cancer, especially breast cancer. Our team wanted to do it for them. The event far exceeded our expectations and there is no doubt that we will be back next year for a funfilled and awe-inspiring event

that supports a very significant cause.” Dirty Girl is the premiere all female mud run offering a non-intimidating environment for women of all ages and abilities.

Kangaroo Café

New Location, Same Great Place

Bear Lake Association Chooses Oﬃcers and Continues Bio Controls

The new lobby and counter at Kangaroo Cafe, which recently relocated to 12 Park Place in Fredonia

By Scott Wise Star Copy Editor

For Genene and Tim Adamczak, the road to success has been paved with hard work, education, faith and laughter. Their business, the Kangaroo Café, opened in 2011 on Vineyard Drive in Dunkirk. One year later, after building relationships with their customers, learning the ins and outs of business and settling into a rare and opportune niche, the Adamczaks are hopping (pun intended) from the fast-paced Vineyard Drive plaza to a comfortable and familiar location in downtown Fredonia- 12 Park Place. “It was amazing how it all worked out,” said Genene, tired from the move but still full of fervor and vision for the future. “We were planning on calling to see if this location was available- and as I picked up the phone and asked my husband for the number, the landlord called me. I just knew it was meant to be.” The Adamczaks had originally

looked at 12 Park Place as an option for their thriving coffee, sandwich and soup café. They opted to go with the newer location at Vineyard, but are happy the opportunity came up again. “We just didn’t find a niche [at Vineyard Drive],” said Genene. “It’s designed for fast, in-and-out eating or shopping- which is great- just not for us. We wanted a place that people could come in and sit down and stay for as long as they wanted. We wanted a place that people out on a walk could stop by and have a cup of coffee or grab a bite to eat. This is that place, and we’re so incredibly excited for this change.” Genene and Tim built relationships with some of the other business owners at the plaza, who encouraged them not to give up, but to discover their market and thrive in it. After some prayer and packing, the new location is up and running. “I just know this is right, and it’s going to be great for us,”

said Genene with a hearty smile. “I can look out across the street at the park and see families walking. It’s such the community atmosphere and feel that we wanted to be a part of.” Although the café hit a few bumps in the move- with a blown compressor on their commercial refrigerator and a fried oven and stove- the move overall was a success. There is a grand opening in the planning stages, so keep your eyes peeled and check their facebook page often for updates. Looking to the future, Genene has high hopes for their new place. “I want us to grow here, and I believe we will,” she said. “Our old customers have already come in asking how the move went and having coffee or lunch. People meet people here, network here, perform here and express themselves here. We want to learn from the other successful businesses around us and see what they do right and build on that.”

While the location has changed, Kangaroo’s great atmosphere, food and promotion of creativity has not dwindled. “We’re getting the Open Mic up and running, and we already have the piano and guitar set up,” said Genene. “We have some art up and we’ll continue to harbor and help the arts. I think this atmosphere makes people want to express themselves.” The menu is piecing back together as well, with their delicious paninis, waﬄes, sandwiches and drinks satisfying hungry customers (and Star writers) just as before. Additionally- their signature and mouth-watering chili is hot and ready for ordering. Kangaroo Café is open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday and Monday.

Business Profile: The Story of the Edwards Waterhouse Inn By Scott Wise Star Copy Editor

In a time when, economically speaking, a weekend away is

no one in their right mind would have bought it,” said Maggie. “We believe the house took possession of us, rather than the other way around.

we wanted to do.” After about three years, the contractor and the Petersons were ready to go. The Petersons live in the restored attic at the 71 Central Ave. location, and put everything from the rest of the house into storage. This cleared the path for a full gutting and renovation. “Everything had to be replaced,” said Jeff. “Electric, walls, plumbing- everything. I can do a lot of it, but that needed more work than I would be able to do.” In December of 2011, 8,800 square feet of space was vacated and ready for remodel. By June, the building was ready for guests. They held off the grand opening for a few months, to get the bugs worked out (figuratively

speaking) and Fredonia Mayor Stephen Keefe broke a bottle of sparkling grape juice on August 15. “After all- who could waste a perfectly good bottle of champagne?” said Maggie with a smile. Overall, the EWI is a tremendous asset to the Fredonia Victorian heritage. Each room has been fully restored with a modern accent, and the historical building expels character with every piece of furniture and trim. “We wanted to try and get time pieces,” said Maggie, who has been hunting for furniture to fulfill her vision for the Inn for years. “We also wanted to support local business and everything in Chautauqua County as much as we could.”

Some pieces Maggie takes pride in owning are a desk and china cabinet, made in Jamestown at the former Union National Furniture. Her style preferences incorporate a ‘chinois’ theme into the house, and the two hand-painted pieces echo that. “You can actually feel the layers of paint,” she said. “It’s not a stencil, these were all handpainted.” Each room in the five-room in is completely different from the next, having it’s own theme and en-suite bath. They are all aptly named based on a specific item or location: The Blue Room- so named for the elegant coat of blue paint that covers the walls; the Bombay Room- because of the Bombay Continued on pg. 14

becoming an oddity for the typical family, Chautauqua County residents can rest in a comfortable knowledge that there are plenty of places locally to choose from for a getaway. This is just as much true for Fredonia as any other place in the county, which boasts a large number of successful businesses, both locally and corporately owned. One such

The Edwards Waterhouse Inn (or EWI) is owned locally as well, by residents Jeff and Maggie Peterson of Fredonia. After purchasing the familiar Central Avenue brick building, the Petersons spent many years (and many dollars) remodeling, redesigning and getting it ready to serve as the Bed and Breakfast they always saw it becoming. “When we bought it in 2000,

When we bought it, the idea was to convert it form college apartments to, eventually, a bed and breakfast.” As with most home-remodeling projects, they encountered some bumps along the way. After the first project, the roof, landed at just over $40,000, they realized it would take a little longer than planned to bring the whole house to the level of excellence they were striving for. Additionally, some apartments behind the EWI, that were part of the land purchase, had to be gutted and remodeled to be at a standard the Petersons were comfortable renting to students and faculty at Fredonia State. “All that put us a little behind, and it got to be about 2009,” said Maggie. “We put our heads together and said, ‘if we’re going to do this, we’d better do it.’ We prepared a business plan with help from the small business administration, and it took about a year until we were satisfied.” Not for lack of gumption of perseverance, the Petersons pressed forward through every obstacle that came against them, including cancer. “It was actually okay, because it kept my mind off everything,” said Maggie. “We tried to overlap everything so it was all working togetherthe zoning board proposals, the business meetings, the architectural planning. And we were meeting with other owners from bed and breakfasts, getting an idea of what

Congressman Higgins Announces Nearly $200,000 for Jamestown Airport Contributed Article Oﬃce of Congressman Brian Higgins

Congressman Brian Higgins announced Chautauqua County’s Jamestown Airport has been awarded $199,131 in federal funding through the United States Department of Transportation. “Airport safety is always paramount and these funds will allow for important upgrades at our Jamestown facility,” said Higgins, a member of the Congressional Aviation Safety Caucus. “This grant will improve transportation

efficiency and safety at an airport that plays an important role in keeping and growing local business opportunities as well as providing commercial service to the region.” The allocation disbursed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will improve safety at the airport by replacing airfield guidance signage, which is now over 20-years old. Congressman Higgins has been a major supporter of regional airport services in Jamestown and Dunkirk.

Earlier this year he pushed for continuation of the Essential Air Service program that ensures commercial airline service in Jamestown. In 2009, the Jamestown Airport also received a $500,000 grant for phase II construction, providing security enhancements at the facility. In addition, over the last several years the Dunkirk Airport has been awarded approximately $8 million, including $2.4 million for runway expansion announced this summer.

by Underground Railroad sympathizers. On Sept. 30 the Storum farm became the scene of the only successful slave capture in Chautauqua County. The slave’s owners had discovered the location of their “property” in Busti. Slave catchers and the local deputy Sheriff, some disguised with ladies bonnets, arrived in three carriages early one morning in Busti. They were able to surprise Harrison Williams at the Storum farm and capture him as he milked a cow. They immediately headed for Buffalo going through Jamestown and Fredonia. An alarm was given in the rural neighborhood but not fast enough to stop the fast carriages on their way north. Pursuers watched as U. S. Commissioner Smith returned Williams as property to Dr. Nathanial Parron of Hardy County, Virginia. The citizens of Jamestown and the surrounding areas were outraged and some even traveled to Buffalo to try to stop the return of Williams to Virginia. “In this age of Internet learning, it’s more important than ever for students to feel a connection to their City through the local history. Many students, especially those in the city school district do not have the opportunity to travel to various historic sites. This program gives them a sense of belonging and their place in Jamestown’s continuum of history. A good example is a visit

to the ocean; one can read and watch videos about the ocean, but until you see it, taste the salt water, float in it and smell the sea air, you never really learn about it. The Local Lore program gives the students a hands-on approach to learning local history. Examples are handling soap made from tallow, trying on period clothing, feeling the various stages of making linen from the flax plant, and handling hand made tools from the early 1800s. You simply can not “Google” these experiences,” says Sara Reale, former Education Director and the skit’s author. Elementary Teacher Joey Leone added, ”I am in my fifth year of teaching fourth grade at Fletcher Elementary. The Local Lore Program through the Fenton Museum has been a memorable part of my students experience in fourth grade. Every year the students enjoy the Local Lore Program. We have done activities like reading biographies and creating a real person wax museum. Last year the students in the classroom seemed to enjoy the program more than ever. The reason for this was because for my first time as a teacher our classroom learned a dance and did four skits as a part of our Local Lore Project. The students talked about the dance and skits through out the year. It was many of my students first time ever being a part of an activity of that nature. I truly believe this learning opportunity created many memories that will last a lifetime.” The Local Lore Comes Alive program is a flexible and affordable way for the local school systems to fulfill the New York State local history curriculum requirement at the fourth grade level. The program is designed for Jamestown’s history, but has been modified to meet the needs of many other school districts such as Southwestern, Panama, Bemus Point and Frewsburg. With the school year underway, the program is available to any classroom teacher or homeschoolers group in the area.

Civil War Commemoration and Encampment Contributed Article Fenton History Center

The Fenton History Center’s annual Civil War encampment weekend of Sept. 22 and 23 will recognize and commemorate our local boot camp, Camp Brown. A wreath of remembrance will be placed on Saturday Sept. 22 at 9 a.m. The Camp’s marker is located at the corner of Brown and Prospect Sts. in Jamestown. Last year a ceremony to recognize the 150th anniversary of the start of the Civil War was held at the same place. This year re-enactors from the 9th Cavalry New York Volunteers and the 155th Infantry New York Volunteers will lead the ceremony.

County New York was met with vigor. War meetings were held throughout the county. A Military Committee of the most energetic and respected men was appointed and it was resolved to raise one new regiment in the district. The Honorable Augustus F. Allen of Jamestown, the committee chairman, was designated Colonel and Commandant of the District Military Depot. The committee members were from Chautauqua and Cattaraugus Counties. They were George W. Patterson, John G. Hinckley, Milton Smith, John F. Phelps, Charles Kennedy, H.C. Young, J.P. Darling, Addison G. Rice (named first Colonel of the 154th New York), D.E. Sill and J.C. Devereaux. Jamestown was designated as the place where the new regiment was to be formed. Chautauqua County would contribute six companies and neighboring Cattaraugus County four. Every man who could influence others was set to work. In some cases a subscription was offered to those who volunteered. Ten dollars paid to some, in other cases, several thousand dollars raised and paid out. At the meetings, watches, diamond rings and pictures were sold and contributed to the funds. In many villages businesses were closed early and the men and women attended war meetings. On August 14, 1862 the Military Committee was determined to raise two new regiments, one from each county. New York State announced in early September that the State bounty of $50 dollars would cease on September 6. Men, who had been delaying volunteering or were not sure of the call, became aware of the impending draft and loss of the State bounty. Many felt three years was too long, but found themselves facing a draft and all felt the volunteer regiments would be treated much better than Regular Army drafted regiments. The regiments were raised by early September. The Chautauqua Regiment was raised, plus two full Companies (E&F) assigned to the Cattaraugus Regiment, the 154th New York, plus an extra Company of Sharpshooters, designated the 7th Company, New York State Sharpshooters. The Military Committee led by Colonel Augustus Allen, had to appoint a Colonel for the Regiment because Colonel Allen was not physically able and could not leave his business. The Jamestown Journal in an article in August 1862 stated, “We have raised a splendid Regiment,

and now let us have men worthy to command them. And of all curses do keep out political favorites and party hacks.” They decided to review names

Hill. Some 2,100 men of the 112th, and 154th New York Regiments, and the 7th Co. NYSS were in camp in hopes to drill the men into fight-

“This is a great way to learn our local history...I encourage anyone who has an interest in the Civil War or history to stop down and check out the encampment,” says Joni Blackman, Director of Fenton History Center of men with military experience, and the names of Maj. William Stevens of Dunkirk, Maj. Patrick Jones of Ellicottville, and Captain Jeremiah Drake of Westfield were the list of men the committee reviewed. It was resolved the 112th Regiment would be led by Maj. William Stevens from Dunkirk of the 72nd New York. He declined, feeling he belonged to the regiment with which he was already linked. Having failed to secure Maj. Stevens, and Maj. Patrick Jones of the 37th New York from Cattaraugus County, and soon to be Colonel of the 154th New York, all eyes were now fixed on Capt. Jeremiah Drake of the 49th New York, a former Baptist minister, who served the ministry in Panama for four years and Westfield for three years. At the committee meeting of Aug. 14, he was elected Colonel. Soon after resigning his commission in the 49th, he returned to the County to assume command of the 112th. Colonel Drake did not reach the regiment until Sept. 2. As early September wore on, the regiment was formed and it was barracked at the Agricultural Fair Grounds about one mile South of Jamestown. The camp was called Camp Brown, in honor of Colonel James M. Brown of the 100th New York. James M. Brown, formerly a Jamestown attorney who raised a company in Jamestown after President Lincoln’s first call for men in May of 1861. This was Co. B in the 72nd New York (the famed Excelsior Brigade) where he was a Captain. Later in November 1861 he was commissioned a Colonel in the 100th NY and led them into their first fight at Fair Oaks, Virginia May 31, 1862. He was killed leading his men into that battle and his body was never recovered from the field. Camp Brown was on the property of a fallen young soldier Sgt. James Hall of the 72nd New York who fell at Malvern

ing units. But orders came to the 112th Regiment and 7th New York Sharpshooters to be forwarded to Washington immediately. So on Sept. 11, it was mustered as a Regiment, and on the 112th marched to the depot of the Atlantic & Great Western Railroad for the trip south. As the men were organized to leave Jamestown from Camp Brown, a large crowd assembled and the men, sang the “Star Spangled Banner”. As they marched to the railroad for the trip south, they sang “John Brown’s Body” as a marching song to the tune of Battle Hymn of the Republic. After the speeches and eloquent remarks, the men pledged to never desert their colors. They embarked the railcars, and amid the sobs and tears of mothers, wives, children and friends, the 112th New York Volunteer Infantry went to war. [History of the 112th New York VI from www.112thnyvi.com and Joel Babcock] Community Invited to meet Re-enactors Following the ceremony at 10 a.m. the re-enactors will open the encampment in Fenton Park at the Fenton History Center. They will be on hand from 10 to 4 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday to explain their equipment and uniforms with drilling and shooting demonstrations on the hour beginning at 10:30 a.m. Saturday. The re-enactors will also talk about life in camp at 2 p.m.. “This is a great way to learn our local history. The local boot camp for Jamestown, Camp Brown, was located very near Fletcher Elementary School. Soldiers were housed there for a month or so before they went off to war in 1862. I encourage anyone who has an interest in the Civil War or history to stop down and check out the encampment,” says Joni Blackman, Director. The event is free to the public.

Paving the Way

SUNY Fredonia to pilot new ‘Smart Track’ student debt management system Contributed Article SUNY Fredonia

State University of New York Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher and the SUNY Board of Trustees earlier this week announced the launch of a new “SUNY Smart Track Campaign” to combat student debt throughout New York and set a national model as college students across the country are taking on more loan debt than ever before. In doing so, they selected SUNY Fredonia as one of six pilot campuses from across the 64-campus SUNY system. Smart Track is said to be the most proactive, comprehensive approach by any university system in the U.S. to address a growing national concern about a lack of transparency as it relates to college costs and financial aid, and the amount of federal loan debt accumulated by college students. SUNY Smart Track will reduce debt among students at the system’s 64 colleges and universities by providing students, parents, and campuses with new tools and services to help educate students from the earliest stage, as they are deciding how much to borrow, engaging those at the highest risk for default throughout their time on campus, and working with all student borrowers to help them complete their degrees and obtain a job after graduation that will enable them to pay off their student loans. “On behalf of our students and their families, we simply must do a better job to ensure that college costs are transparent, financial aid opportunities are outlined clearly and comprehensively, and students are only borrowing what they need and what they can afford,” said SUNY Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher. “Smart Track puts SUNY on pace to lead the nation in reducing student debt and creating a more financially sound future for our students and alumni.” “We are honored to be selected as a pilot Smart Track campus. This pro-active initiative will provide greater transparency to college costs, responsible borrowing and default management,” added SUNY Fredonia Associate Vice President for Enrollment Services Daniel Tramuta, who is also currently serving as President of the New York State Financial Aid Administrators Association (NYSFAAA), a statewide organization with 350 schools and 1,600 members representing all private, public, community and proprietary colleges and universities. “It will provide SUNY Fredonia’s students and parents with new tools and services to educate them earlier in their collegiate experience about their loan repayment options, and improve their overall financial literacy,” Mr. Tramuta added.

SUNY Fredonia Associate Vice President for Enrollment Services Daniel Tramuta, who is also currently serving as President of the New York State Financial Aid Administrators Association (NYSFAAA), will help pilot the new SUNY “Smart Track” student debt management initiative on the Fredonia campus this year.

“We think the inclusion of the Student Loan Service Center within this initiative is brilliant, and will go a long way in delivering effective outbound communication campaigns, social networking platforms and proactive loan resolutions that will help students to effectively manage their overall student loan debt.” The campaign includes the following tools and services: New SUNY Award Letter – As the first to adopt the federal Financial Aid Shopping Sheet, SUNY has developed a standard format for presenting financial aid offerings at a campus while also displaying campus-specific graduation rates, default rates, and the median student loan debt of the campus’ students. The new SUNY award letter will incorporate this information and enable students and their families to easily compare colleges and make informed decisions on loan borrowing. Student Loan Service Center Expansion – Currently used exclusively by SUNY’s state-operated campuses, the SUNY Student Loan Service Center provides Perkins Loan servicing for students and their families. The Center will be expanded to serve all SUNY campuses and provide additional services to support Smart Track. Early Engagement – SUNY has partnered with the U.S. Department of Education to develop a data-driven earlywarning initiative that will use SUNY enrollment and federal student loan data to identify the root causes of loan default, enabling campuses to “flag” students who possess a high risk. Campus personnel will use the system to “flag” high risk students and engage them from the moment they take out a loan through graduation. Additional services for these students will include information on responsible borrowing

and a connection with a webbased learning center with loan payment estimators and other useful tools for managing finances. SUNY Smart Track Online Resources – SUNY’s financial aid resources will be made available at a central online hub that will be a one-stop resource for borrowers. Financial aid experts will host online chats via Facebook, Twitter, and other social media to answer questions and offer advice to students and families they move through the financial aid process, and additional financial literacy tools and services will be made available. Net Price Calculator – Launched last year by SUNY, the system’s Net Price Calculator enables prospective students to calculate the net costs of the attendance at any SUNY school by providing tuition, room and board costs, and fees for all campuses. The calculator also allows campuses to customize the tool for greater transparency. “Student debt has surpassed credit card debt in America, and more and more students are defaulting on their loans each year,” added SUNY Board Chairman H. Carl McCall. “Smart Track will help SUNY to better educate students and parents about the costs of college, help them plan financially for the future, and increase their chances to stay in school and earn a degree.” In addition to Fredonia, the other pilot campuses include the University of Albany, Niagara County Community College, Purchase College, Schenectady County Community College, and SUNY Ulster. The pilot campuses represent a cross section of SUNY colleges and the diverse needs of the various campus communities within SUNY. SUNY’s Board of Trustees has instructed all 64 SUNY campuses to adopt Smart Track by the Fall 2013 semester. These campuses will collaboratively fine-tune each of the various components and help bring the campaign to scale across the system’s 64 campuses by next fall. Approximately 267,000 SUNY students borrow through federal direct loans annually. According to recent U.S. Department of Education statistics, more than 75,000 SUNY students entered repayment during the most recent cohort year while 6,000 students fell into default during the same time period. Forty percent of SUNY students, about the same as the national average, graduate without loan debt.

SUNY Fredonia Travel Series Opens Sept. 22 With Film on Alaska

A grizzly bear crossing a meadow and towering, snow-capped mountains are among the many sights featured in “Lure of Alaska,” a travel-adventure film that opens the World Travel Series at SUNY Fredonia’s Rockefeller Arts Center on Sept. 22. Filmmaker Dale Johnson personally presents the film beginning at 7:30 p.m. in King Concert Hall.

Contributed Article Doug Osborne-Coy

Watching the scenes unfold in Dale Johnson’s travel/adventure film “Lure of Alaska,” a viewer is left with the clear impression that this can be a land of extreme contrasts. From season to season and from mile to mile, things can change quickly in this frontier state. Johnson, an award-winning nature filmmaker, will personally present “Lure of Alaska” on Saturday, Sept. 22 at 7:30 p.m. in King Concert Hall. It will be the opening event in the 2012-13 World Travel Series at Rockefeller Arts Center. Shot in the high-definition, widescreen format, “Lure of Alaska” captures the panoramic landscapes one would expect to find in such a vast, untouched wilderness. Clouds roll gently over snowcapped mountain ranges and rocky plains stretch as far as the eye can see, dotted here and there by a lonesome pine. When the camera catches a moose foraging for plants in a shallow streambed as a snow goose glides by, it’s easy to imagine you are watching a scene from another century. Yet Johnson quickly turns things around with scenes of modern-day Alaska, some of which are quite familiar. In one segment, the Alaska State Fair takes center stage – complete with a midway that

doesn’t look much different than the one found on the Chautauqua County Fairgrounds in Dunkirk. And the same jutting mountain ranges that protect hidden valleys are also shown as the backdrop for a modern city like Anchorage. In the heart of the city, the setting is similar to that of many other urban centers across the United States. Skyscrapers and heavy traffic abound – due in no small measure to the fact that approximately half of Alaska’s 722,000 residents live in the Anchorage metropolitan area. When stepping out of the confines of the city, the fact that Alaska is the largest state in the union makes itself apparent. The bustle of the city is in contrast with the silence of a rocky mountainside that seems to have sat undisturbed for decades, save for the occasional passing mountain goat. And outside of the city, the vast expanse of Alaska takes over. When making the trip to the Yukon River, logistics dictate that a small-engine plane is the only reasonable option for Johnson to get there. The land itself is subject to sharp contrasts from season to season, as well. Landscapes that are barren in shades of gray and white during the winter come to life in the spring with green grass and flowers of all sizes in hues of red, blue, yellow and pink. One constant in Alaska, how-

ever, is the abundant wildlife and Johnson, who earned two CINE Golden Eagle Awards with his Trailwood Films Company, captures it again and again in “Lure of Alaska.” From a mother Grizzly lulling about with her cubs in a rocky field to beavers busily taking down ash trees and hauling limbs away for a dam to bears and seagulls feasting on dying salmon after the spawn, Alaska’s true natural resources are on display throughout film. Because of his keen interest in wildlife and his photographic ability, Johnson has been profiled in National Wildlife magazine and his film production for the National Forest Service won a Gold Medal at the New York International Film Festival. A Travelogue Hall of Fame member, Johnson recently edited the National Geographic special “Wolf Pack,” which was about the wolves of Yellowstone. This is a general admission event and tickets will be available at the door. They may also be purchased in advance through the SUNY Fredonia Ticket Office in the Williams Center (673-3501 or fredonia. edu/tickets). One child 12 and under is admitted free with each adult ticket. The World Travel Series is sponsored by Fredonia Place as part of the 2012-13 Lake Shore Savings Season.

Q&A

Two cats can’t be expected to share Q: We already had an adult cat. We adopted a kitten, and now that she’s half-grown, we have litter box issues, specifically wars over the box. What should we do to make them “share the bathroom”? — via email A: One box is not enough. You should have one box for each cat, plus one. If you have one cat, you need two litter boxes. Two cats, three litter boxes. Put them in different locations. For instance, keep one upstairs and one downstairs. That way, one is always convenient. And with more than one cat, it prevents fights over who gets to use which box when it’s needed. Some cats like to ambush others when they use the litter box, so place litter boxes in locations with easy escape routes. Privacy is important, too. Cats don’t want to pee or poop next to each other any more than you’d want to do so with somebody right next to you. Another good reason to have multiple litter boxes: Each cat may prefer a different type of litter. What about what goes inside the box? There are all kinds of different cat litter, and they all have pros and cons. Most cats prefer clumping litter because of its soft, sandy feel. It’s easy on the paws and easy to scoop. Other cats might like a fine-grained clay litter. Look for one that comes in a dust-free formula. Some cat litter is easier on the Earth, made from recycled paper or natural substances like corncobs or wheat. But if your cat doesn’t like it, you’ll be throwing a lot of it out, which is not that environmentally friendly, so you may be back to regular clumping litter. Let the cats pick their preferences by offering a “litter box buffet.” Avoid scented litter. It might smell good to you, but that perfumed odor can be sensory overload for a cat. Using scented litter can be one of the quickest ways to encourage your cat to go outside the litter box. — Dr. Marty Becker Do you have a pet question? Send it to petconnection@gmail.com.

OH RATS!

Purebred dogs help with human health

Bad PR aside, rats can be wonderful pets for kids – or adults By Gina Spadafori Universal Uclick

eople are always asking me to recommend a good pet for a child — an affectionate animal that can be cared for with a minimum of adult assistance. “A rabbit?” they ask. I shake my head. Rabbits, especially the bigger varieties, are hard for a child to hold. When they don’t feel secure, rabbits will kick — and by doing so will sometimes break their backs. The result? A dead rabbit and a heartbroken child. So no rabbits, at least not for young children. Mice? “Too small, too fragile,” I reply. Hamster? “Better, but too interested in sleeping during the day, plus they’re natural escape artists and somewhat nippy,” I say. “Well, what then?” the parent will finally demand. To them I say, “Rats.” And after the air clears of expressions of revulsion and disgust, I explain why a healthy rat from a reputable source is a great pet for a child — and indeed for Smart, friendly and able to learn tricks easily, rats can almost any animal lover. be a good first pet for a school-aged child.

Purebred dogs are helping medical researchers track health problems with genetic origins. • Efforts to identify genetic markers for diseases are getting a boost from purebred dogs. While people (aside from, possibly, royal families) breed more or less randomly, purebred dogs have traceable lineage, and typically trace from a small population of dogs. Writing in The New England Journal of Medicine, Elaine Ostrander of the National Human Genome Research Institute noted that this means canine genes may hold the answers to conditions such as epilepsy and those that cause blindness and kidney cancer. • The trend toward ever-fatter dogs and cats continues, according to DVM360.com. Citing data gathered by Banfield Pet Hospitals, the industry news website noted that veterinary visits by more than 2 million dogs and 430,000 cats revealed weight gains in both populations. The incidence of excessive weight in dogs is up 37 percent since 2007. The incidence in cats is worse, with the prevalence of overweight cats increasing 90 percent since 2007. • Many cats in chronic renal failure are maintained for months and even years with regular at-home administration of subcutaneous fluids. (A wonderful tutorial is on the DVM360.com website at http://tinyurl.com/PetConSubQ.) While at-home treatment is relatively easy and inexpensive, the future of kitty kidney care may be stem cells. Colorado State University researchers are conducting a study of cats who have chronic renal failure but no other health problems to determine how stem cells affect kidney disease. — Dr. Marty Becker and Gina Spadafori

Jammers Change Aﬃliates, Sign On With Pittsburgh By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

After 11 years with the Miami Marlins organization, the Jamestown Jammers have ended their working relationship with the club and signed on for a two-year contract with the Pittsburgh Pirates organization, a welcome addition for many baseball fans in Chautauqua County. The Pirates organization represents a bigger draw regionally and also potentially will field better clubs moving forward. Jamestown made the playoffs just twice in 11 years under the Marlins. “We’re extremely pleased to align the Jammers with an organization that is widely regarded as having some of the most exciting young players in all of minor league baseball,” said Bob Rich Jr., President and Owner of the Jammers. “As the launching pad for the beginning of so many promising careers, Jamestown is the perfect place for area Pirates fans to see the future of their favorite team.” The Pirates played in the New York Penn League last year as the State College Spikes and went 35-41, finishing a half game behind the Jammers. They were in the playoff race most of the year before falling apart late. Top prospect Luis Heredia, 18, went 4-2 with a 2.71 earned run average to lead the way. As for their league history, the Pirates had their team in State College for each of the last six years

and never finished above .500. They reached that mark one time in 2007. However, the team was in Williamsport from 2000-2005 and reached the playoffs in all but two years. Prior to Williamsport, they were the Erie Sea Wolves, before Erie made the jump to AA. Pittsburgh has had a strong minor league system over the past decade with many top draft picks coming through the organization before making it up to the Pirates. Their success in Williamsport should give the fans in Jamestown reason to be confident. More so, the match does seem to be perfect, considering the relative closeness of the cities of Jamestown and Pittsburgh. Despite that, this will

only be the third year the two teams are affiliated. The 1939 Jamestown Jaguars and 1957 Jamestown Falcons each were Pirates affiliates before moving on the following year. "The Pirates are pleased to affiliate with the Jamestown Jammers and as importantly re-establish a professional relationship with Bob and Mindy Rich and their outstanding leadership team headed by Jon Dandes,” said Neal Huntington, General Manager of the Pirates. “The Pirates have a quality history with the Rich family from our prior Triple-A affiliation in Buffalo and we look forward to building on that relationship with a New York-Penn League affiliation.” As for those departing, the Marlins 11 seasons were a bit turbulent for

Jammers fans. Although the team did field a handful of young prospects that made it all the way the big league level, the Jammers only had two winning seasons and never won a division title — or a NYPL championship — in those 11 seasons. Some of the big stars included Giancarlo Stanton, Logan Morrison, Gaby Sanchez, Chris Coghlan, Chris Volstad and Jeremy Hermida. Of course, there was also Marcell Ozuna, Paul Gran and Miguel Fermin, who had a monster 2008 season with the club as a catcher, and returned here to reinvent his career a relief pitcher this past season. But only two of those teams made the playoffs and more often than not, especially as of late, the Jammers were putting together losing teams with below average prospects. After a second straight losing season in 2012, a change seemed imminent. There were some changes in the NYPL besides the move in Jamestown and plenty more likely to come. The St. Louis Cardinals switched from Batavia to State College. That left Batavia vacant and the Marlins without an affiliate. In addition, Rich, owner of the Buffalo Bisons as well, switched the club from it’s New York Mets affiliation to Toronto by announcing it on the same day. An official luncheon to introduce the pair will be announced at a later date.

Undefeated Teams Chautauqua Lake, Maple Grove To Battle In D Showdown By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

Another week, another showdown in Class D. But this time, it’s with a bit of a surprise in 3-0 Chautauqua Lake, which carries a 12-game winning streak — the seventh longest in the entire state — into a game with Maple Grove who has similarly won 12 straight against Section VI opponents. The storylines are great and plentiful. The Red Dragons were the last team to hand Chautauqua Lake a regular season loss (in 2010). The little guy — the defending Class DD Champs, who are supposedly out of their element in big-boy ball up in Class D — against the most dominant small school in last 20 years. And if you forgot, TBirds head coach Dan Greco is up against his old team. But, for all intents and purposes, this is just another game for both teams. After all, both teams will make the playoffs this year — and so will everybody else in Class D.

All eight teams means each team has to win two games to get to the Ralph and three to claim a sectional title — something each team did last year. So while the winner may have a clear path to a regular season crown, the loser knows a chance for revenge might only be a month away. But as for Friday night, Maple Grove remains the favorite, and why not? The Red Dragons took out Silver Creek in the opener on the road. Then they beat up Catt/ Little Valley. Then they really punished Randolph before the Cardinals scored two late touchdowns to push the score back to being respectable. But, for the most part, Maple Grove has been untouchable this year. But while Maple Grove’s schedule has appeared harder in name through three games, Chautauqua Lake’s hasn’t been a cupcake. They actually beat Catt/Little Valley by even more than Maple Grove and, right now, have arguably the most impressive win after beating Portville in Week 2, which stands

as the Panthers only loss in 2012. Part of the continued success for Chautauqua Lake has been the three-headed rushing attack of Adam Carpenter, Ryan Miller and Nick Zentz. Carpenter has been the primary back, but Miller, a speedy sophomore, scored the first three touchdowns for the Thunderbirds last week including a kick return for six. Zentz has mostly been the power back, but Chautauqua Lake has been more than OK passing the ball with Kyle Mayer as well. What’s made them so effective, though, has been dominant offensive line play. Seniors Anthony and Andrew Pezzulo help give Chautauqua Lake one of the finest lines across the league. And they’ll need it against Maple Grove, who boasts enough bodies to make a college team jealous. They also might get an emotional boost with the return of senior Jon Scroxton, but the lineman who was in the hospital with pancreatitis less than a month ago isn’t being

rushed back by Fischer. But, the Red Dragons haven’t missed him on the field all that much, which speaks to their depth up front. Seniors Lee Wascher, Mike Burns and Jake Swan still put together one of the best lines in the area and should make for a great battle in the trenches. Running back Oliver Simpson has been fantastic so far, but the Red Dragons found a new weapon on offense to round out the team. Senior quarterback Aaron Germain had been solid through the team’s first two games, but he exploded for three first half touchdowns last week, including a kickoff return. He had long touchdown passes to Simpson and fellow senior Jason Seiberg. A tough run continues after Maple Grove for Chautauqua Lake. They’ll then travel to Frewsburg, before hosting Randolph and heading up the road for Silver Creek to finish off the year. Maple Grove hosts winless I-Prep in Week 5.

Women’s Soccer Defeats Nation's Top Team; Earns National Ranking Contributed Article

Fredonia State Sports Information

FREDONIA, N.Y. — The Fredonia State women's soccer team found out just how big its win was Saturday over William Smith. The Blue Devils (4-1) went from unranked to No. 22 in the National Soccer Coaches Association of America/ Continental NCAA Division III women's poll. It is believed to be the first time Fredonia State has been ranked nationally in the national poll. In addition, the Blue Devils moved up four spots — from No. 8 to No. 4 — in the East Region rankings. The ascent regionally and nationally was due to the Blue Devils' 1-0 road win last Saturday over William Smith, which entered the game at No. 1 in both the national and East Region polls. With the loss, William Smith dropped to No. 10 in the nation and No. 2 in the East — behind Ithaca. Union is No. 3 in the East, followed by the Blue Devils. SUNY New Paltz is No. 5. Wheaton (Ill.) is D-III's new No. 1 team. That was all possible when they scored in the 30th minute and held off William Smith for a 1-0 win in a non-league match on Saturday afternoon. Fredonia State's Catie Hale pushed a pass ahead to Katie Kleine who beat her defender and placed a shot just inside the left post and out of the reach of the diving Heron goalie, junior Chelsea Dunay. The goal that came 29:33 into the match was all the Blue Devils would need to secure the win. "We played a risk/reward system in the first half," said head coach Chris Case. "We got up and forced them Continued on pg 3

In C South, Southwestern (1-2, 1-1 C South) lost their second in a row for the first time since 2006 when they lost to Olean 18-3. It’s practically a must-win for Jay Sirianni’s crew against undefeated Salamanca this week. Cassadaga Valley (2-1, 1-1 C South) beat Falconer (1-2, 0-2 C South) 21-0 thanks to a dominating defensive performance. Head coach Nick Spitzer talked before the year about having a better ball control offense allowing his defense to be more dominant. It’s worked so far. Three long rushing touchdowns, and a good day overall on the ground, led to an easy shutout victory for the Cougars. Finally in Class D, Maple Grove (3-0, 3-0 D) jumped all over Randolph in a big league showdown and held on to win 27-14. Senior Aaron Germain returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown and threw two long touchdown passes as the Red Dragons raced out to a 27-0 halftime lead. Chautauqua Lake (3-0, 3-0 D) won its 12th in a row — the 7th longest in the state and 115th longest in the country (according to MaxPreps.com) — after crushing Catt/Little Valley 40-6. After a quick touchdown from C-LV, Ryan Miller returned the ensuing kick for a touchdown. He had three on the day. Frewsburg (2-1, 2-1 D) dropped its first game of the year by losing on the road to Portville 16-12. Silver Creek (1-2, 1-2 D) picked up its first win of the year by beating I-Prep on the road 22-7.

h Hockey Locks Out Fans Again

Chris Winkler COMMENTARY

Well, here we are again. Just seven seasons after the longest lockout in professional sports history, the National Hockey League is at again. Effective at 12 a.m., Sunday morning, the league locked out its teams and players, causing a work stoppage that will in all likelihood result in the cancellation of games. Call me crazy, but I thought last year was the first year in the post-lockout era that the NHL started to really make national headlines during an extremely exciting postseason. Part of it was because of more television exposure. Part of it was because of the buildup since the previous lockout. Whatever it was, though, is about to be erased. Pre-season games were due to begin next week with the Buffalo Sabres opening up their seven-game schedule in Montreal on Monday, Sept. 24. But, with the regular season less than a month away (the Sabres are supposed to open on Oct. 13), any resolution would have to get done relatively soon (as in the next week or two) for teams to be able to have an abbreviated training camp before starting regular season games. As if recent history hasn’t taught us anything — and apparently it hasn’t — the NHL and its teams are preparing to throw away games and kick their beloved fans to the curb yet again. Granted, hockey has some the most avid fans you’ll find in all professional sports, but you have to wonder when enough is enough. I, however, do not happen to be one of them. I grew up in the hockey-loving town of Buffalo, but don’t usually catch hockey fever until I catch a real fever at some point during our frigid winter months. By the time March rolls around, I’m consumer with basketball that my head turns orange. Never the less, I can still admit it’s a great sport that has arguably the most exciting playoff system in all of pro sports. It’s legitimate salary cap — one that has to make other pro sports jealous — has led to incredible competitive balance. Since the last lockout, 29 of the league’s 30 teams have made the playoffs. Only Toronto hasn’t, but we all know they’ve had nobody to blame but themselves for their run of futility. But while installing the salary cap was a great success from that lockout, the rest of that resolution has proved to be meaningless. Big market teams — or those with big-pocketed owners — have found some loopholes (ie: Christian Ehrhoff ’s contract). What’s known is that little has changed since then and more than half of the league’s teams are losing money on an annual basis. Part of that is because of the 57 percent of hockey-related revenue is awarded to players. Most sports are much closer to the 50-50 mark (between

players/owners), if not in the owners’ side of things. Rumors have swirled that the league is looking to push that number all the way to 46 percent, a monumental switch that would allegedly make all teams profitable. But I’m not here to blame either side of table as these talks — or lack thereof — have failed to reach an agreement. While both sides are in the middle of a public relations battle for the empathy of the fans around our continent, they’re all failing to realize the bigger picture. The sports world is as crammed as it’s ever been. In a year from now, we’ll be able to say the same thing. In the new world of technology, never-ending information about your favorite team is at your fingertips. So, it would help if hockey actually had a season to stay at the forefront — or wherever the heck they are — of the sports world. If you look closely, you’ll know the sport isn’t dying. But you’ll also see that it’s not really on the rise either. Part of that is because the fans in Canada and the northeastern United States aren’t going anywhere. Whenever these hockey games actually resume, the sports pages in Buffalo, Detroit, Pittsburgh and Boston are going to be dominated with whatever happened. Heck in Canada, they’re going to be dominated with hockey regardless of if there’s a season or not. But as for the other 20 teams in the league, any progress that’s been made since 04-05 is about to go out the window again. It’s hard enough to get any positive publicity in New York and Chicago, how hard will it be after two lockouts in less than a decade and three lockouts in the last two decades? Furthermore, staying in any spotlight in Miami, Tampa Bay or Los Angeles is only possible if games are being played. And that’s really what this is all about. Don’t get me wrong, the hockey diehards aren’t going anywhere. Just as any other sport has realized, the fans you had are going to come back no matter how poorly you’ve treated them. Even in hockey’s case, which happens to have as much experience with lockouts and the New York Yankees do with winning, you’re not going to see much of an attendance dip. But you’re not going to see a rise either. And for teams from Columbus all the way down to Florida, the only way to build a fan base is to play games. I can promise you the return of hockey won’t do much to spike the interest of the fringe-hockey fans in Sunrise, Fla. to get out to some Panthers games this year. On the positive side of things, it’s still much too early to gauge how bad this might get. After all, there’s arguably minimal damage done if this league only has to cancel 10 games or less for each team and there’s still some time to at least accomplish that. For now, it’s a warning shot. If you want to stay credible as a league and keep your fringe fans interested, figure this thing out now. After all, there’s always basketball. Or football. Or baseball. Or college sports. Or, alright, you got the picture.

Blood Drive Raises Two-Months Supply For Local Hospital

Fredonia State Sports Information

FREDONIA, N.Y. — The blood drive this week cosponsored by the Fredonia State men's basketball team yielded a two-month supply for a local hospital, head coach Kevin Moore reported. Moore said 187 pints were drawn over two days at the Williams Center, a record for the team's bi-annual events in conjunction with the Community Blood Bank of Northwest Pennsylvania and Western New York. Organizers told him that it normally takes five or six drives to generate that

much blood, which will be used locally at Brooks Hospital in Dunkirk. Men's basketball players manned the registration table and an executed a word-ofmouth advertising campaign across campus during the two-day event. Apparently the word spread: 110 pints were donated on the second-day of the drive. Moore sent an e-mail to other coaches and staff members thanking them for also spreading the word. "There were many, many Blue Devil athletes that donated blood over the past two days," he wrote. "Please pass on my thanks to them."

William Smith came close to scoring on a few occasions to open the second frame. "They came out in the second half ... and much of our time was spent defending our own end," said Case. "We defended well and were able to offset their edge in shots." One of the William Smith's best scoring chances came in

the 55th minute. Sophomore Madeline Buckley banged a shot off the crossbar. Senior Whitney Frary collected the rebound, but fired wide of the net. With 5:52 remaining in the match, senior Renee Jensen sent a pass to sophomore MaryClaire Pelletier who was

right out in front of the goal. Her header went just inches wide of the right post. The Herons outshot the Blue Devils 18-4 and earned seven corners in the second half. Overall, the Herons finished with a 22-7 lead in shots and a 9-1 edge in corners.

The Devils also had a near miss. With about eight minutes to go, there was a ﬂurry of action in front of the William Smith net. The Devils' first shot beat the Heron goaltender, but was blocked by a defender. "We had about three shots inside of 12 yards and almost made it 2-0" said Case. Meaghan Meszaros made six saves in net for Fredonia State. Dunay finished with two saves in all 90 minutes in goal for William Smith.

No Progress As NHL Lockout Continues

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — The Arizona Cardinals block field goal attempts better than any other team. Just the threat of that happening could make even the most reliable kickers nervous.

of course, you can develop a good rhythm and get in the zone,” he said. “I had a chance to make a big impact on the game and it turned south.” The Cardinals (2-0) also played well on defense, holding the high-scoring Patriots (1-1) to one touchdown and four field goals and sacking Tom Brady four times. They also did enough on offense — touchdowns on Kevin Kolb's 2-yard pass to Andre Roberts and Kolb's 5-yard run and two field goals by Jay Feely — to win for the ninth time in 11 games. None of those wins was by more than six points, so coach Ken Whisenhunt figures his players know how close they've come to losing and

won't get carried away with their success. “They understand,” he said. “We have been in enough close games over the last 10 or so.” Yet the Cardinals are off to a surprisingly good start. They beat Seattle 20-16 in the opener when they forced Russell Wilson to throw three incompletions from the Arizona 4 in the final minute. Then they handed the Patriots their first loss in their 11 home openers at Gillette Stadium and ended a five-game losing streak against New England. “Nobody really gave us a chance,” Whisenhunt said, “but our guys believed they could do it and it's great to see

them operate that way.” The Patriots suffered a big loss when tight end Aaron Hernandez, their most versatile offensive player, hurt his right ankle in the first quarter. He left Gillette Stadium wearing a walking boot and carrying crutches. The Patriots gave no update on the injury or how much time he might miss. “Aaron's in there almost every play,” wide receiver Wes Welker said, “so it changes (play calling) quite a bit.” Coach Bill Belichick added: “You can't go into the game just counting on one guy, any guy. Everybody has to be ready to adjust. It's not the first time a player has been injured in a game.” Kolb started in place of John Skelton, who missed the game with a sprained right ankle. His numbers were hardly spectacular — 15 completions in 27 attempts for 140 yards. But he kept plays alive by rolling out. “You can tell he is a veteran quarterback,” Whisenhunt said. “He understands what we are trying to do and he did a nice job today of moving in the pocket, being smart with the ball.” The only New England possession that gained more than 47 yards came on its next to last series. Brady completed eight of 10 passes for 82

Penn St. Moves On After Clearing Next Hurdle: A Win

“All right, let's get another next week,” Zordich said in the postgame huddle before the players broke it up by yelling “Family!” after a three-count. Players didn't panic after two draining losses to start the season, though there was a sense of urgency. No team wants to start 0-3. Penn State forced four turnovers and capitalized on seven Navy penalties to finally get that morale-boosting win. “The one thing that winning does is it cures a lot of things. Winning also breeds confidence,” O'Brien said.

quarterback Trey Miller, who was slowed by an injured right ankle. A secondary that had been maligned the first two weeks with giving up by plays on third downs played well, led by safety Stephen ObengAgyapong, who had a couple stirring open-field tackles and a forced fumble among his nine stops. On offense, quarterback Matt McGloin and receiver Allen Robinson continued to click as one of the Big Ten's top passing combinations. Robinson, a sophomore, is stepping up quite nicely as the featured receiver in O'Brien's offense and leads the Big Ten in receptions (24) and receiving yards per game (107.3). And Zordich (11 carries, 50 yards) and Curtis Dukes (11 carries, 47 yards) did just enough to balance the offense and make Penn State forget that top two tailbacks Bill Belton (left ankle) and Derek Day (left shoulder) were sidelined by injuries. Mainly a fullback, Zordich played more in single-back sets against Navy — his most extensive playing time run-

Now O'Brien can show that all the changes he installed in the offseason can lead to victory, like the revamped strengthand-conditioning program or the altered practice routine to mirror an NFL-style practice. “There's a reward for that and we know how to win, and we can win,” O'Brien said. “Now we have a new staff that knows how to win. These players know how to win.” Mauti (12 tackles) and emerging redshirt freshman defensive end Deion Barnes (five tackles, sack, forced fumble) led an active front seven that Continued on pg 10 applied pressure on Navy

Sandusky To Be Sentenced Oct. 9 In Sex Abuse Case

An assessment board has recommended Sandusky for the designation, though it's expected to have little practical effect since he stands to die in prison. Sandusky will be sentenced

immediately afterward. Cleland ordered defense attorneys and prosecutors to submit written statements ''intended to aid the court in the imposition of sentence'' by Oct. 5. The abuse scandal rocked Penn State, bringing down famed coach Joe Paterno and the university's president and leading the NCAA to levy unprecedented sanctions against

the football program. Former FBI Director Louis Freeh, hired by school trustees to conduct an investigation into the university's handling of abuse complaints against Sandusky, concluded that Paterno, ousted President Graham Spanier and two other high-level school officials concealed a 2001 allegation against Sandusky to protect Penn State from bad publicity. The late coach's family and Spanier hotly disputed Freeh's conclusions. So did former athletic director Tim Curley and retired vice president Gary Schulz, who have been charged criminally with failure to report suspected child abuse and perjury. They have pleaded innocent and await trial. Some alumni groups have also attacked the Freeh report and said Penn State and the NCAA should not have accepted its conclusions.

2012 CHASE CONTENDERS Points standings, race results from Sunday’s Geico 400 at Chicagoland Speedway 1. Brad Keselowski 2,056 (finished first) On a day in which five-time champion Jimmie Johnson started on the pole and led a race-high 172 laps, Keselowski showed that he’s a true title contender as he muscled ahead of Johnson after his final pit stop and motored away to a 3.17-second victory. It was his first-ever Chase race victory. 2. Jimmie Johnson -3 (finished second) He complained that Keselowski’s race-winning pass came too soon after he exited pit road (NASCAR says drivers can’t come up onto the track until Turn Two), but overall was pleased with the Chase opener. “Of course we would have loved to have won the race, but we’ll take second and go on. This is a fantastic way to start the Chase.” 3. Tony Stewart -8 (finished sixth) The defending series champion improved his starting spot by 23 positions on what he described as an off-day.“But if we can be a little bit off and end up with a top-10, then we are in good shape,” he said.

The Twitter track

NASCAR drivers discover power of social media

hroughout its history, NASCAR in general has been relatively slow to embrace new technology. It was only this year that Sprint Cup cars were equipped with electronic fuel injection, something that has been standard equipment on passenger cars for decades. The engines still have push rods to work the engine valves, a primitive system in today’s automotive world. But when it comes to communication, the sport and its drivers are at the forefront, especially when it comes to social media outlets like Facebook and Twitter. When Facebook became the social media rage a few years back, most drivers soon had pages, but in truth, most postings were done by the drivers’ publicists and administrative assistants. But when Twitter came along, drivers jumped onto the new medium as quickly as they would the latest shock absorber technology. Whether it’s because Twitter is quick, something that naturally appeals to professional speed merchants, or because it’s so effective, drivers have become regular posters on Twitter.com. After all, one can only post 140 characters at a time. Twitter was created in March of 2006 by Jack Dorsey and launched later that summer. As of earlier this year it had more than 500 million active users and they were posting 340 million tweets a day. It’s one of the top 10 sites on the Net in attracting visitors. NASCAR, its drivers, fans and the media got a real taste of the power of Twitter back in February when Brad Keselowski pulled his phone out of his pocket and started post-

ing on Twitter during a delay in the Daytona 500 caused when Juan Pablo Montoya crashed into a jet dryer and ignited a fire. Although some questioned the in-race communication by a driver, NASCAR officials seemed fine with his tweets. The tweets from Daytona, shown on the FOX TV broadcast, led to an additional 100,000 Twitter followers for Keselowski, who now is generally regarded as having something akin to a cult following when it comes to the Twitter world, where he is known as @Keselowski. “It’s a good cult to be a part of,” said Keselowski, who traces his interest in Twitter to getting an iPad from Nationwide Insurance when he won the Nationwide Series title. “It’s a group of people that enjoy having some of the further access that the sport has the capability of providing.” He said social media has great potential for NASCAR, and he’s proud to be out front in its development. “I feel very fortunate to have a role as a leader in the sports integration of social media, specifically through Twitter,” he said. Other drivers have begun to use Twitter. Even old-timers like Mark Martin are enthusiastic participants. And they’ve found that it works both as a way to disseminate information and as a way to get feedback. When officials at Bristol Motor Speedway were contemplating changing the racing surface at their track, Jeff Gordon polled his Twitter followers to gauge fan response. His followers told him that there were big-

ger issues than the configuration of the track. “My Twitter poll was that gas prices and hotel prices and the economy are the biggest reason why people are saving their money to come to the night race there and not able to travel as much as they used to and be able to incur some of the expenses that they used to,” he said. Gordon also used his Twitter account, @JeffGordonWeb, to let fans know he was keeping his promise to bring back his mustache if he made the Chase. This is what he posted Sunday morning after the regular season finale at Richmond: “So as many of u may have heard, I made a statement that if we made the Chase I wud bring back the stache. I’m a man of my word.” Earlier this year, Twitter itself recently teamed up with NASCAR in the social network’s first partnership with a sporting league. Omid Ashtari, who heads Twitter’s sports and entertainment practice, said Keselowski’s tweets from Daytona as well as one in which Jimmie Johnson shared a photo of Dale Earnhardt Jr. trying to tie his tie as they were headed to the White House, show how social media can give fans access they ordinarily wouldn’t have. A key part of the new partnership is promoting the hashtag of #NASCAR, which makes it easier for fans to find NASCARrelated postings. Keselowski said the most important aspect of his Twitter activity is that it allows him to meet fans he otherwise would never have any contact with. “It’s amazing the type of connections that you can have,” he said.

Youngest ever Truck Series winner ‘chip off old block’ Back in 1984, Dave Blaney became the youngest driver ever to win a USAC Silver Crown championship. Last Saturday, his son Ryan continued his family’s tradition of setting records by becoming the youngest driver ever to win a Camping World Truck Series race. Blaney, driving for Brad Keselowski Racing, won at age 18 years, eight months in just his third start in the series and just his 10th start in one of NASCAR’s top three divisions. His other seven have come in the Nationwide Series. Dave Blaney – who left a highly successful sprint car career to race in NASCAR – has just one win, at a Nationwide race at Charlotte in 2006, in 546 NASCAR starts. He was on hand for his son’s win on Saturday night at Iowa Speedway. “It’s unbelievable,” Blaney said of his son’s victory. “He does such a good job. Thanks to everybody that’s helped him, from Tommy Baldwin and especially Brad Keselowski, [Roger] Penske, everybody. “He does so good, and he catches on so quick, it’s fun to watch.” Ryan Blaney had to hold off veteran drivers on several late-race restarts, but never stumbled. “I knew if I could just have the lead through [Turns] One and Two, we would have had ’em,”

4. Denny Hamlin -15 (finished 16th) He was poised for a top-10 finish but ran out of fuel on the final lap. Still, he’s optimistic about his Chase chances. “We can make that up easily,” he said. “We’re fast enough to do that.” 5. Kasey Kahne -15 (finished third) Despite a good finish, he saw room for improvement. “I was lacking today and hopefully we can talk about it this week and get it better for some of these other 1.5-mile tracks,” he said. 6. Clint Bowyer -15 (finished 10th) He said his team didn’t perform at a championship level. “I don’t know whether it was strategy or pit stops or what, but it seemed like we lost spots on pit road all day, and it just cost us,” he said. “You ain’t going to win a championship with decent days, you have to have good days.” 7. Dale Earnhardt Jr. -17 (finished eighth) He had to start in the rear after his team changed engines because he inadvertently over-revved it during qualifying, and he never really recovered. “I was disappointed with myself in making the mistake with the engine and getting us that far back at the start of the race,” he said. 8. Greg Biffle -19 (finished 13th) A promising run turned lackluster at the finish. “We were really going good there at the end, and we did our last stop, and the car just went bad,” he said. 9. Martin Truex Jr. -21 (finished ninth) His team took a bad-handling car and made it much better as the race went on.“We made lots and lots and lots and lots of changes, big changes, and it just worked at the end,” he said. 10. Kevin Harvick -24 (finished 12th) His finishing position reflected the way he’s run all season, as his average finish for the first 27 races is 12.0. 11. Matt Kenseth -26 (finished 18th) His No. 17 Ford lost a shock midway through the race. His team replaced it, but he was unable to completely overcome the setback. “My car just wasn’t fast enough,” he said. 12. Jeff Gordon -47 (finished 35th) A stuck throttle while running fourth, and the resulting impact with the wall, ended his string of strong finishes that landed him in the Chase. It also put him in a deep points hole entering the second race of the title hunt.

NOTEBOOK

Earnhardt seeks more sponsors

I’ve got to thank Brad Keselowski for giving me this chance, and hopefully we get a few more.” The win was the first for Keselowski’s team in the Truck Series and particularly meaningful to the team’s crew chief, the veteran Doug Randolph. “It’s pretty neat to be here with Ryan and Dave, ’cause my first crew chiefing job was with Dave, and I felt like there were a lot of nights that we should have been sitting right here [in a winner’s interview], and it didn’t quite work out,” he said. “I felt like a couple of ’em got away, and it’s great to come full circle and make it happen with Ryan.” Blaney’s fellow drivers appreciated the moment as well. “Is that kid a chip off the old block?” third-finishing Todd Bodine said. “I think he’s better than his dad. That’s awesome. I’m happy for him and happy for Brad [Keselowski] and all of those guys. “I know how hard they’ve worked to get to this point.”

Dale Earnhardt Jr., NASCAR’s most popular driver, still has some races unsponsored for next season, but he said during his regular media appearance at Chicago that it’s not a sign that he’s not still popular with sponsoring companies. “We have more demand than we have supply pretty much,” he said. “We’ve got a good chunk of our races [sponsored], we have got the majority of the season with the [National] Guard, and then Diet Mountain Dew is going to back off a little bit and that makes it a bit of a challenge to fill that small of a gap.” He said small gaps in sponsorship are harder to fill than large ones. “Every sponsor on the car wants to be the top guy,” he said. “It’s a bit hard to have a top guy when you are trying to work with multiple sponsors. It’s just a little bit of a balancing act.”

Sabres Inked Ennis To 2-Year Deal Before Lockout Hit Contributed Article Associated Press

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Tyler Ennis re-signed with the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday, giving the play-making forward one less worry about his immediate future with the threat of an NHL lockout looming. Ennis signed a two-year contract worth $5.625 million, according to a person familiar with the contract. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the financial terms were not disclosed by the Sabres. Ennis had been a restricted free agent whose rights had been retained by the team in June.

Ennis' agent, Eustace King said. “It allows Tyler to prove himself more, but it provides fair compensation.” The deal was reached on a day in which the NHL is prepared to lock out its players if a new collective bargaining agreement is not reached by midnight, when the current deal expires. (Editor’s Note: The NHL lockout began on Sunday). General manager Darcy Regier said the threat of a labor disruption played a key role in getting Ennis signed because the team would've been barred from negotiating with the player in the event of a lockout. “I think with the uncertainty,

what it does is it removed one additional piece,” Regier said. “Whenever it is we start, Tyler's signed and ready to go, and it's not something that you're going to be pressed into action and negotiating while you're trying to prepare for a season.” The second of Buffalo's two 2009 draft picks, Ennis has been a speedy and gifted playmaker when healthy during his two full seasons with the Sabres. Listed at 5-foot-9 and 172 pounds, he's also overcome initial questions about his lack of size. Ennis had 15 goals and 19 assists in 48 games last season, but was out of the lineup for two 17-game stretches because of an ankle injury. Upon his return in February, Ennis provided an immediate spark to a sluggish offense by centering a line with Drew Stafford and rookie Marcus Foligno. Ennis enjoyed a 24-game

stretch in which he had 10 goals and 16 assists. Overall, he has 38 goals and 54 assists in 140 career games. “Talent-wise, he's an upperechelon player,” Regier said. “Obviously, he's got to overcome some issues like size, but he's fearless, he's got a big heart. It's a bit of an unknown, but we certainly have insight that allows us to project him to be a very good player in the National Hockey League hopefully for a long time.” The two sides settled on a two-year deal because they couldn't agree on a long-term contract. Ennis had been seeking a four- or five-year deal that would've averaged about $4 million a season. “At the end of the day, we looked a multiple different options for him, and we thought the two-year contract was the best fit,” Ennis' agent, Eustace King said. “It allows Tyler to prove himself more, but it provides fair compensation.”

Regier concurred. “I might make the case that in a lot of times these act in the best interest of the player and the club,” he said. “It offers additional incentive and certainly he's going to have the opportunity to fulfill that incentive.” Though Ennis split time at wing and center, Regier said the Sabres expect him to start the season at center, even after the team spent much of the past year attempting to improve the depth at the position. Buffalo acquired Cody Hodgson in a trade with Vancouver in February, and in July exchanged centers, landing Steve Ott in trade that sent Derek Roy to Dallas. The Sabres also used two first-round draft picks to select centers Mikhail Grigorenko (12th overall) and Zemgus Girgensons (14th) in June. Both will be given an opportunity to make the team this season. The Sabres are already preparing for the potential of a lockout after the team loaned 20 players to Rochester, their American Hockey League affiliate on Friday. The players loaned to the minors include Hodgson, Foligno and Girgensons, and defenseman Brayden McNabb. Grigorenko is still eligible to play junior hockey, and was loaned to Quebec of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. The Sabres also signed goalie Andrey Makarov to a threeyear entry-level contract Friday. Makarov was an undrafted free agent, who went 29-21-1-1 with Saskatoon of the Western Hockey League last season.

WILLIAMSVILLE, N.Y. (AP) — With a potentially long lockout looming, it's becoming increasingly more difficult for Buffalo forward Steve Ott to remain hopeful. Raring to go with his new team — the Sabres — after an offseason trade from Dallas, Ott spoke with cautious optimism before a golf outing benefiting the Buffalo Sabres Foundation last week. He wants to play. He can't wait to play. But he knows that might not happen. For a while. “It's tough,” said Ott, who was obtained from the Stars in July for forward Derek Roy. “The players are looking for a fair deal. We want to play, and we want to get going. I think every single guy is ready to go. It would be a complete shame if the doors are locked by ownership.” After the entire 2004-05 season was lost due to labor struggles, the NHL is heading toward another work stoppage. The collective bargaining agreement expired Sept. 15. And for players who are looking to make fresh starts on new teams — like Ott —

Makarov spent the 2011-12 season with the Saskatoon Blades of the Western Hockey League. In 54 regular season games with the Blades, Makarov compiled a record of 29-21-1-1, a .913 save percentage and two shutouts, earning Blades team MVP honors. Makarov has been loaned to Saskatoon.

any delay makes it that much harder to get acclimated. “I can't wait for the opportunity to throw my Buffalo Sabres jersey on,” said Ott, who will be among several players who will hit Manhattan Thursday to show their solidarity. “Hopefully it starts in October, and it's ready to go. I love this team. It's a young team, but it's molded right.” Sabres forward Marcus Foligno is also itching to get going. After being called up from Rochester of the AHL late last season, Foligno emerged as an imposing force up front.

“It was a shame that we had to miss a whole season,” he said. “It did nobody good. It wasn't exciting for the fans, it wasn't exciting for the players, and it wasn't exciting for the ownership.”

Utilizing his size and strength, Foligno registered six goals and 13 points in 14 games with the Sabres, and was looking forward to playing a full year in Buffalo. But if there's any long-lasting lockout, Foligno will ultimately find his way back to Rochester ... again. “Whatever happens, you want to be ready for it,” he said. “I'm preparing like camp is going to happen, but for me I'm in a better position than some of the veterans because I can go to Rochester.” Ott spent that 2004-05 season playing with Hamilton of the AHL after playing 99 games for the Stars, starting in 2002. “It was a shame that we had to miss a whole season,” he said. “It did nobody good. It wasn't exciting for the fans, it wasn't exciting for the players, and it wasn't exciting for the ownership.”

Tom McMillan, for example, said the team has no plans on layoffs ''at this time.'' In jeopardy are some key dates on the calendar: the New Year's Day outdoor Winter Classic at 115,000-seat Michigan Stadium between the host Detroit Red Wings and the Toronto Maple Leafs; and the Jan. 27 All-Star game hosted by the Columbus Blue Jackets, one of the league's struggling small-market teams. The Blue Jackets put out a statement Sunday supporting the league, but did not mention the All-Star game. ''The league, the clubs and the players all have a stake in resolving our bargaining issues appropriately and getting the puck dropped as soon as possible,'' the team said. ''We owe it to each other, to the game, and most of all, to the fans.'' NHL players struck in April 1992, causing 30 games to be postponed. This marks the third lockout under Commissioner Gary Bettman. The 1994-95 lockout ended after 103 days and the cancellation of 468 games. ''Like any partnership, you want both sides to benefit,'' Crosby said in the video. ''I think that's the case here. As players we want to play. ''But we also know what's right, what's fair.''

Bonnies Get First Win, Stop Binghamton’s Record Start Contributed Article

St. Bonaventure Sports Information

VESTAL, N.Y. — For the first time this season, the St. Bonaventure women's soccer team (1-6-1) scored first, and it proved to be enough as the Bonnies put an end to Binghamton's (5-2) best-ever start to a season Friday night on the Bearcats turf, 1-0. Freshman Abby Maiello — who entered the contest with a team-leading 10 shots — pushed her 11th shot of the campaign wide in the 48th minute, but did not miss with her 12th just three minutes later as she struck the underside of the crossbar and found the back of the net from the left side of the pitch. Maiello received a pass from defender Maureen Madden about five yards into the Binghamton half of the field, beat the right back and then the center back before delivering her first collegiate strike in what head coach Manoj Khettry called a "great goal." Not only did the Mechanicville, N.Y., native's goal represent the first time SBU scored first in a contest this year, but it also gave the Bonnies their first lead at any point in any game this season.

Binghamton's 5-1 start to the season was the best by a Bearcat team since joining the Division I ranks, and longest in 16 years, dating back to its membership as a Division III school. "I'm happy for our players," Khettry said about picking up the first win of the season. "When you're 0-6-1, it's hard to maintain a positive attitude to get players to work hard, but we've been able to do that. It's always great to get a win — especially a shutout — on the road, but I'm glad that we did it our way by playing for each other and having players step up." For just the second time this season, the Bona defense held its opposition scoreless in the opening half, setting up an opportunity for the Brown and White to grab its first victory of the season.

In a relatively even first 45 minutes, both teams were whistled for six fouls and earned three corners each. However, while Binghamton attempted five shots to SBU's two, the Bonnies tested Bearcat keeper Carrie Martin with both, while the hosts put none on frame. The major disparity in the half came in the form of possession as the Bonnies completed nearly 160 passes in the opening frame compared with not even 50 for Binghamton. Binghamton started to put more pressure on the Bona backline in the second half. Five of BU's 12 second-half shots forced SBU goalkeeper Megan Junker into making a save. However, the junior was equal to the task each time as the Bonnies kept an opponent off the scoreboard for the first time this year. For Junker, the shutout is the

first of her season in just her second appearance. The McMurray, Pa., product played in her first game of the year last week at Hofstra — a 2-0 loss — but earned her sixth career blanking Friday evening. Junker's most challenging point in the game came with 10-15 minutes remaining in the contest as she made three saves within a five-minute stretch. "That was a moment in game we could have let a goal up, but we did a really good job not giving them any great scoring chances," Khettry said. "Their shots weren't from great angles and we forced them to rush because they had ball so little. When they did have it, we were able to apply pressure, keep them off rhythm and ultimately off the scoreboard." With the win, the Bonnies even the all-time series with their Southern Tier natives, 3-3. SBU also claimed last year's match, 1-0, in overtime, snapping a streak of three straight triumphs in the series for the Bearcats. St. Bonaventure not only returns to action but also its home turf next Friday after not playing at McGraw-Jennings Field for nearly 20 days when it hosts Little Three rival Niagara at 5 p.m.

Spiller Sparks Bills' 35-17 Rout Over Chiefs

September 20, 2012 Edition – Sports Section – B

Gameday Week Three

By John Wawrow Associated Press

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Coach Chan Gailey had a pretty good idea of C.J. Spiller's potential when the Buffalo Bills selected the running back with the y. ninth pick in the 2010 draft. to) Gailey, however, isn't going to pretend he in thought Spiller would be this dynamic. was out “I would like to tell you, 'Oh, sure, I saw vils that,' but that would be a lie,” Gailey said. “I knew he could be. I did not know whether it would happen or not.” ers Two games into the season, Spiller is one ca of the NFL's hottest running backs and was a big reason why the Bills evened their record at 1-1 with a home-opening 35-17 l's rout of the woeful and winless Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. will Continuing to fill in for injured starter onal Fred Jackson, Spiller had 123 yards rushing and two touchdowns, and added another 47 yards receiving. That followed up his career-best 169 yards rushing in a season-opening 48-28 loss to the Jets last weekend. er c- “It's always better to answer the questions d in when you win,” said Spiller, who giggled ast several times at the podium. “Fred Jackss son challenged me today, when he told eer me to put the team on my back. So when that comes down from the leader in our room, you have to step your game up. I was ready to go today.” h the Spiller suddenly finds himself in elite ves company. With 292 yards on 29 carries, Spiller is me averaging 10.1 yards per rush.

we have to try and figure out what that is. From what I've seen, if we do what we're supposed to do, then we would be better.” KC's offense managed just 71 yards on its first five possessions and then coughed up the ball on its sixth, when Peyton Hillis fumbled at the goal line late in the first half with the Bills up 21-0. Linebacker Nick Barnett forced the fumble by tripping up Hillis, who lost control of the ball, which was recovered by safety Bryan Scott. “I messed up and let the team down,” Hillis said. “I put the blame on myself.” Kansas City has opened a season 0-2 for the sixth time in seven years. Matt Cassel finished 23 of 42 for 301 yards with two touchdowns and an interception, with much of that production coming in the fourth quarter after the Chiefs trailed 35-3. Dwayne Bowe scored the touchdowns on 33- and 2-yard catches. The Chiefs were so thoroughly outplayed on both sides of the ball in the first half that Spiller's 139 yards from scrimmage nearly matched Kansas City's 148 yards net offense. Buffalo defensive tackle Kyle Williams had two sacks, and Mario Williams recovered a fumble after Alex Carrington stripped Cassel. “We had a sense of urgency. It was just different from the very beginning,” Mario Williams said. “We went out there and put it all on the line. Unfortunately, that didn't happen last week, but we have to build on this and continue.”

Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick shrugged off last week's three-interception outing by going 10 of 19 for 178 yards and two touchdowns, including a 49-yarder to Stevie Johnson. And Buffalo's special teams contributed: Leodis McKelvin returned a punt 88 yards. The Bills had additional incentive to win the game in paying tribute to Marcell Dareus. The second-year defensive tackle played after traveling to his native Alabama to mourn the shooting death of his younger brother. “He's going through a rough time, but he felt responsibilities here,” Kyle Williams said. “He always picks our team up and we're glad that he's back.” Despite being bothered by a shoulder injury, Dareus had a sack and two tackles, including one for a loss. “The team rallied up around me. This is my release from whatever is going on in the outside world,” Dareus said. “I focused in on the football field and took everything else out of my head.” NOTES: Spiller became the fourth Bills player to reach 100 yards in the first two games of a season, joining Jackson, Thurman Thomas and O.J. Simpson, who did that twice. ... Chiefs TE Kevin Boss will be re-evaluated after leaving the game with a head injury in the second quarter. CB Javier Arenas hurt his neck and did not return. ... McKelvin's TD return was the second of his career, and the second-longest in team history, 3 yards short of the record set by Keith Moody in 1977.

Bills Defensive Line Finally Showing Some Oomph

By John Wawrow Associated Press

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Now that's more like it.

And it was a significant turnaround after the defense failed to make a dent — no sacks, one tackle for a loss — in a seasonopening 48-28 loss to the New York Jets a week earlier. “The first game was bad,”

Williams acknowledged. “But I think we knew we could do it. We knew the players that we had. And we just had to go out and do it.” Williams led with two sacks. Fellow tackle Marcell Dareus, defensive end Alex Carrington and linebacker Kelvin Sheppard had a sack apiece, while Mario Williams recovered a fumble. Veteran linebacker

Nick Barnett made a momentum-turning play at the end of first half, when he forced running back Peyton Hillis to fumble at the Bills goal line to preserve a 21-0 lead. “We know we can play football with the guys that we have and the talent that we have. Now to actually go out there and do it, it feels good,” Barnett said. “But it's still Week 2, so I'm not jumping around like, 'Ah, we're the best defense in the world.' We've still got some things to work on. But we can be pretty good when we're firing on the same cylinders.” The Bills spent considerable attention and money on upgrading their defense in free agency by signing Mario Williams to a six-year, $100 million contract and Mark Continued on pg 10

CINCINNATI (AP) — Brandon Weeden had one of the most prolific games by a Browns rookie quarterback. Trent Richardson topped even Jim Brown for most versatile performance by a Cleveland rookie runner. What did it get them? Just another loss. No surprise there, not in their intrastate rivalry. Andy Dalton had another big game against the Browns, tying his career high with three touchdown passes, and Adam “Pacman” Jones ran Cleveland's first punt back 81 yards for another score on Sunday, leading the Cincinnati Bengals to a 34-27 victory in their lopsided rivalry. Cincinnati (1-1) has won 13 of the last 16 against Cleveland (0-2), an eight-year run of dominance that spans a lot of quarterbacks and running backs but almost always comes out the same. For the Bengals, it was a reassuring ending to a stressful week. They got blown out in Baltimore 44-13 Monday night, matching the most lopsided loss to open a season in team history. They looked so bad that they were a bit shaken. “I think everybody was,” coach Marvin Lewis said. “It's the opening game and you've been pointing to this game, it's Monday night football ... It has been a very tense week.” Jones relaxed them a bit with his fifth career punt return for a touchdown and his first since 2003 with Tennessee. He celebrated by wrapping himself around the padding on the goal post, holding on tightly for several seconds. It's the way he used to celebrate scores back when his troubled career was getting started. “It just felt like home,” Jones said. “I was back home.” From then on, two young quarterbacks tried to keep up with each other. Weeden was coming off one of the worst debuts in NFL history, throwing four interceptions in a 17-16 loss to the Eagles that left him with a 5.1 passer rating. He started completing short, quick throws in the second quarter on Sunday and took apart a defense that's reeling. Weeden went 26 of 37 for 322 yards — the most yards by a

Browns rookie quarterback — and two touchdowns. His passer rating was an impressive 114.9, encouraging for a team that's been searching for a quarterback for a long time. “We're getting there,” Weeden said. “The running game definitely takes a lot of pressure off of me. It helps when you run the ball.” Richardson became the first Browns rookie to run for 100 yards and to score on both a run and a pass in the same game, according to STATS LLC. He carried 19 times for 109 yards, the first Browns rookie to top 100 yards since Lee Suggs ran for 187 against Cincinnati in 2003. “I had a big stat day and it was a much better game for me,” said Richardson, who had knee surgery on Aug. 9. “I wouldn't call it a complete game. It's coming along. We did a good job, but I think we can be even better.” It wasn't enough to overcome another impressive game by Dalton, who has been at his best in the intrastate rivalry. In three career games against Cleveland, Dalton has completed 71 percent of his throws for 669 yards with five touchdowns, one interception and a 114 passer rating. Dalton scrambled and threw a short pass that Andrew Hawkins turned into a 50-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter, putting Cincinnati in control. Phil Dawson's field goal cut it to 34-27 with 20 seconds left, but the Bengals recovered the onside kick to seal it. “It was a tense week but you know, we were able to get it done,” said Dalton, who was 24 of 31 for 318 yards with one interception and six sacks. “It's what we had to do.” NOTES: The previous record for a Browns rookie passer was 310 yards by Eric Zeier at Cincinnati on Oct. 29, 1995. ... Cleveland's six sacks was its most since 2009. ... The last time Cleveland had 300 yards passing and 100 rushing was in 2007, when Derek Anderson threw for 328 yards and Jamal Lewis rushed for 216 yards against Cincinnati. ... LB Scott Fujita played for the first time since his three-game bounty suspension was overturned on appeal. CB Joe Haden served the first week of his four-game suspension for violating the league's policy on performanceenhancing substances.

Lake Erie Fishing Hotline Contributed Article

Department of Environmental Conservation

Many Lake Erie anglers have commented that this has been the best summer in recent history for yellow perch and walleye fishing. This week has been no different as anglers continue to see excellent yellow perch catches between Cattaraugus Creek and Sturgeon Point. Depths of 60-68 feet, straight off the harbors as well as off Foxes Point, Evangola State Park and Point Breeze have produced steady action. Live emerald shiners are best bait, but salted shiners, fathead minnows and worms have also worked. Anglers straight out of Cattaraugus

Creek and to the west report good catches of larger walleye in 80-88 feet of water. Sturgeon Point trollers work depths of 60-70 feet for decent action. The productive walleye zone out of Dunkirk has been in 80-100 feet of water on lures run 55-70 feet down. The bite has cooled a bit this week off Barcelona, with boats averaging 2-3 walleye per day over depths of about 100 feet. Worm harnesses and stickbaits work well for walleye. West end walleye trollers see decent numbers of steelhead mixed in with their catches, especially when running. The nearshore rocky reefs and shoals are a good bet for foraging smallmouth bass. Drop-shot rigs with live crayfish, shiners and tube jigs or

plastics in darker greens and browns work well. Good bass catches have been reported in the harbors, now that water temperatures are falling. Lake trout are available at depths greater than 75 feet of water. Flashy spoons run off downriggers near the bottom can bring in consistent catches of lake trout averaging 6-8 pounds with the occasional fish pushing the 20-pound mark.

Chautauqua Lake

Fishing with tube jigs, plastics, crankbaits or live bait (golden shiners, leeches, crayfish) near weed edges are good bets for hungry bass. Chautauqua's yellow perch are plentiful and easy to catch. Fish worms or small minnows near the bottom in 12-20 feet of water for steady

The head of the river remains a good spot to target smallmouth bass or walleye by boat. As waters continue to cool, look for muskellunge and smallmouth bass action to pick up in the river. Emerald shiners are a good bet for yellow perch and panfish from City of Buffalo shore fishing sites.

SEATTLE (AP) — The Baltimore Orioles weren't going to be denied a victory — or making history — even if it took 5 hours and 44 minutes to do it. Taylor Teagarden stroked a pinch-hit RBI single to right in the 18th inning to help give the Baltimore Orioles a 4-2 comeback victory over the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday night. The win allowed the Orioles (84-64) to pull within a percentage point of the Yankees (83-63) for the lead in the AL East. The Yankees were rained out Tuesday and will play a split double-header with Toronto on Wednesday. Baltimore maintained a threegame lead in the wild-card race over the Los Angeles Angels, who beat Texas 11-3 in Anaheim. The Orioles' success in extrainning games might be one of the biggest factors keeping them in the playoff hunt. They have won 14 straight extrainning games for the longest extra-inning win streak since the 1949 Cleveland Indians won 19 straight. Overall, the Orioles are 14-2 in extra-inning games this season, going 9-0 in them on the road. “It's tough,” said Nate McLouth, who had three hits. “When you start going that long, there's a part of you that has to fight the feeling, 'Oh, let's just get this game over with.' Especially in the position we're in. It's a really important game. It's hard to stay locked in that long.” McLouth opened the 18th with a walk off Lucas Luetge (2-2). With McLouth breaking toward second, J.J. Hardy sent a single through the right-side hole. McLouth continued onto third. McLouth said it wasn't a hitand-run. “I felt like I could get the bag. He had a strike on him so he swung,” he said. “It happened to go in a good spot.” Teagarden then lifted his gamewinner down the right-field line. Hardy later scored on Mark Reynolds' fielder's choice. Tommy Hunter (5-8) picked up the victory. And he did it with a little extra measure of 'good luck.' Just before taking the mound in the 16th, one of the hovering seagulls unloaded on his hat. “Here I was minding my own business,” Hunter said. “Guys were dying laughing. Then everyone said it was good luck. Then we won the game.” Jim Johnson worked the 18th to pick up his 44th save — most in the majors — in 47

opportunities. “It's a challenge,” Mariners manager Eric Wedge said. “It's a scenario you don't get into too much, but every now and then it happens. It's tough on both sides offensively. Everyone wants it so bad. We had so many opportunities. One more hit and the game's over.” Orioles manager Buck Showalter added, “that dugout was alive the whole time, the whole extra innings.” The Orioles rallied in the ninth off starter Erasmo Ramirez, who had allowed just two hits and was sitting on a 2-0 lead entering the inning. Pinch-hitter Ryan Flaherty and McLouth opened with singles to bring in closer Tom Wilhelmsen. Hardy dropped a sacrifice bunt to advance the runners. Chris Davis followed with a two-run single to right. “It tried to be aggressive with the hitters in the ninth,” Ramirez said, “just tried to get ahead in the count.” Wei-Yin Chen went 5 1-3 innings, allowing two runs on six hits. He walked two and struck out two. It's the first time the Orioles have been 20 games over .500 since the last day of the 1997 season. It was the longest extra-inning game for the Mariners this season. They are 5-8 in extra innings. Justin Smoak and Dustin Ackley each had three hits for the Mariners. It appeared that Chen would breeze through the fourth as the first two batters bounced out to the infield. Casper Wells then drew a walk on a 3-2 pitch. Miguel Olivo followed with his 11th home run on a 1-2 curve from Chen, who had started him with four straight fastballs. Ramirez retired the first nine batters before McLouth's leadoff single in the fourth, just tipping off the glove of second baseman Ackley. Ramirez then retired the next eight straight before McLouth's double to center in the sixth. Center-fielder Franklin Gutierrez caught the ball on a dive but it popped out of his glove on contact with the ground.

Ramirez, recalled from the minors on Sept. 1, matched his career high with eight innings. He allowed four hits and both runs were charged to him. He struck out six and walked no one. Both catchers, Matt Wieters and Olivo, caught the entire 18 innings. “This is the first game I catch two games in one,” Olivo said. Showalter said of Wieters: “I can't tell everyone how challenging it is to catch a game like that, make that many decisions and be right so often.” NOTES: DH Jim Thome (neck) and LHP Troy Patton (ankle) are finishing rehab assignments at the Orioles' Sarasota facility and could rejoin the club this weekend in Boston. “They're both close,” manager Buck Showalter said. “We'll make the call (Thursday).” ... RH Miguel Gonzalez and RH Chris Tillman will start in Boston with the third starter to be decided. ... Chen is just the fourth Orioles rookie pitcher since 1954 to make at least 30 starts. He joins Bob Milacki (36 in 1989), Tom Phoebus (33 in 1967) and Brian Matusz (32 in 2010). ... Felix Hernandez was recognized before the game as the Mariners' nominee for the Roberto Clemente Award. “That's a great honor,” manager Eric Wedge said. “Felix is the total package. To see what he does oﬀ the field, how he carries himself, how generous he is with his time, with people, it's well-deserved.” ... RHP Hector Noesi, shelled for six runs and eight hits in 1 1-3 innings Monday, is back in the bullpen for the rest of the season. RH Blake Beavan will fill his spot in the rotation, starting Saturday. ... Michael Saunders was ejected in the 10th inning for disputing a called third strike.

pers are good options, especially in areas of moderate to heavy vegetation. Spinning anglers do well with worms, salted minnows and small inline spinners. If you are a catch and release angler and use spinners, it is a good idea to outfit your spinners with a single hook rather than a treble hook.

The marinas in Sunset Bay were more crowded this past Sunday morning than I had seen them all summer. A friend and I went out and trolled for walleye but we probably should have fished for perch. The walleyes seemed to be there, they just were not biting. We talked to a few other walleye fishermen and they told us a similar

story, they just weren’t biting. We noticed a large group of boats all perch fishing out in front of Sunset Bay in the usual area. One friend of mine was in that group of boats and he came home with 30 fish. He told me that the fishing was difficult because they were hitting very softly. I kept expecting to see some staging steelhead on the fish finder as we neared the mouth of the creek. We didn’t see any thing that looked like

steelhead to me. I was a little surprised because a friend of mine had seen fish jumping while he was goose hunting a little ways upstream. I have not talked to anyone who has caught one yet this season. I’m sure it won’t be to long before they are in the streams. By then I will probably be too busy bow hunting to bother with the steelhead. Make sure to buy your new hunting license before the doe permit deadline.

NFL WEEK TWO STUNNER continued from pg 4 yards, capped by a 5-yard touchdown throw to Rob Gronkowski, making it 20-18. But the 2-point conversion attempt, a pass to Gronkowski, was broken up by Kerry Rhodes. The Patriots got the ball back with 1:01 left when Vince Wilfork recovered a fumble by Ryan Williams at the Cardinals 30 with 1:01 left. A 30-yard run into the end zone by Danny Woodhead was nullified by a holding penalty against Gronkowski. New England then moved to the 24

before Brady spiked the ball to stop the clock with 6 seconds remaining. That's when Gostkowski took the field. So did the Cardinals trying to stop him. “We put a lot of pressure on a lot of teams with our field-goal block team with me coming off the edge and collapsing the middle,” Peterson said. “We just want to continue putting pressure on field-goal teams so things like that can happen, so we can push it left.” NOTES: The Cardinals beat

the Patriots for the first time since Sept. 29, 1991. ... The Patriots held Larry Fitzgerald to one catch for 4 yards. ... Welker became the Patriots all-time leading receiver with 562 catches after making five on Sunday. He began the day tied with Troy Brown at 557. ... Brady completed 28 of 46 passes for 316 yards and extended his streak to 34 games with at least one touchdown pass, fourthbest in NFL history. ... Stevan Ridley led the Patriots with 71 yards rushing after running for 125 in the opener.

PENN STATE FOCUSING ON WIN continued from pg 4 ning the ball since coming out of high school in Youngstown, Ohio. “We need a win to get rolling and it felt good to be able to have that kind of responsibility,” Zordich said. He and Mauti were the senior leaders who stepped up days after the NCAA levied strict sanctions on Penn State for the school's handling of the child sex abuse scandal involving retired assistant coach Jerry Sandusky. Players were given exceptions to leave in

light of the penalties including a four-year bowl ban and steep scholarship cuts. Zordich and Mauti helped keep more than 90 percent of the team together after re-affirming their allegiance to Penn State. “Like I've said from Day 1, there's nothing any of us can do about the NCAA. All we can do is play under the rules in which they say to play under,” O'Brien said. “So that's what we're doing and these kids have really stuck together.

This group of players in the locker room right now (is) just really high character kids that have come together.” Temple visits Beaver Stadium on Sept. 22. In the locker room huddle after the Navy win, O'Brien told his players to have a good time celebrating Saturday night before returning Sunday to start getting ready for the Owls. Back to the normal routine for Penn State. “Great job, but that's just one,” O'Brien said. “It's only one.”

BILLS D IMPROVES AGAINST CHIEFS continued from pg 9 Anderson to a four-year, $27 million deal. And then they used the No. 10 pick in the draft to select cornerback Stephon Gilmore. The moves were made in an effort to improve a defense that had been among the NFL's worst last season. It was a unit that allowed a franchise-worst 5,938 yards, gave up 434 points (the second most in team history) and had difficulty generating a pass rush. Buffalo finished with 29

sacks last year, 10 of which came in one game. And there were growing concerns of how much improved the defense was after the dud against the Jets. In retrospect, defensive end Chris Kelsay believes the Jets game — and the criticism that followed — might have been a positive. “It definitely didn't turn out the way we had foreseen it or expected it to turn out, but you know what, we worked hard all week. And we transferred it onto the field,” Kelsay said. “If we can continue to do that, and have a sense of urgency, then good things are in store for this team.” The five sacks are one more than Buffalo had six games into last season. And the Bills were able to get the Chiefs off the field. After the Jets converted 10 of 14 third-

down chances and punted only twice against Buffalo, the Chiefs went 5 of 14 and punted seven times. It helped, too, that the offense was far more productive and efficient. The Bills scored touchdowns on three of their of their first five possessions, and didn't lose the ball a week after four turnovers — including three Ryan Fitzpatrick interceptions — led to the Jets scoring 24 points. Fitzpatrick regards the game against Kansas City as a blueprint for Buffalo's success. “I think that's a great winning formula,” Fitzpatrick said. “Looking at what we did this offseason, that's something we wanted to do: Limit turnovers. And you saw with the so many additions we made, we have a dominant defense, which I think we've got a good shot at doing that.

Q: I’ve got pretty good eyesight, but when I get on the golf course, I’m not sure about the distances to the pin. I get fooled a lot. How can I stop this? — T.L. A: Trying to figure out the distance to the hole by looking at the target is not quite as easy as it sounds because the course architects, knowing how your brain works, try to fool your eye by building in optical illusions. To determine distance, your brain makes an assumption that big objects are close and small objects are far away. No wonder it’s a favorite strategy of designers to either surround the green with some very large trees, which make the green look closer, or to do just the opposite and put nothing around it so it looks farther away. This creates confusion in your mind because the “card yardage” and the “eye yardage” don’t match. When this happens, you need to do two things: 1. Find the exact yardage. 2. Make a commitment to the club you chose based on that yardage.

Less work releases more power at impact If there is one thing you need to learn about the golf swing, it’s this: The closer to impact you get, the less you should be trying to do. Said in another way, less is more. And nowhere is this more true than when it comes to leg action. Let’s be clear on one point — it is not through conscious manipulation that you bring the clubhead to the ball. That is the province of the legs; the front leg forms a wall and the back leg drives the body across that wall, causing the automatic release of the clubhead to the ball. Studying the photos here will highlight the process. In photo 1, the player’s knees are kicking toward the target with his weight completely on his left side. Note that the right knee is just beginning to fire forward toward the target along the toe line. The overall look is one of driving the right side into the ball. Hanging

While this release looks active, it is actually the result of running the right side across a resisting left side. If you are correct on the backswing, the downswing is all about doing nothing — tough to do for a species of manipulators! Insider Takeaway: The release of the clubhead to the ball can be described by this image: A horse and rider approach a 6-foot jump at full gallop. The horse stops dead, and the rider is “released” over the wall.

The energy at this point is in this player’s lead arm. How do I know? Look at the bowing of the shaft. The clubhead is being pulled to the front wall established by the front hip and leg.

The Tour gets game Kudos to Tim Finchem. The PGA Tour commissioner has accomplished two impressive changes to the way pros compete: 1. The end of qualifying school for the PGA Tour. Instead, 50 tour cards will be available through a three-tournament series in the fall, featuring the top 75 Web.com Tour players and the last 75 players on the PGA Tour money list. The remaining players will compete at Q school for 25 cards on the Web.com Tour. 2. The FedExCup. The FedExCup is a season-long competition in which players accumulate points. It’s important to play in as many events as you can to assure you make the endof-the-season playoffs, which are all restricted-field events with big purses. Now the PGA Tour season is divided into three segments. The first is “FedExCup Season,” then comes “PGA Tour Playoffs for the FedExCup” and finally the “PGA Tour Fall Series.” This process is why we are seeing the best players so active at the end of the season. It’s the chase for huge amounts of money — too huge to stay home. The PGA Tour Playoffs in 2012 consist of The Barclays, Deutsche Bank Championship, BMW Championship and finally the Tour Championship, with a pared-down field of the top 30 FedExCup point holders. Last year, Bill Haas won the life-changing $10 million prize. “Me and my wife are in the process of building a house,” said the previously unknown Haas. “We’ve got plans, got land and all that stuff, and this goes right towards it. That’s huge. That would be a big chunk.”

SCIENCE SAYS

What you should think about while you swing When you’re hitting a golf shot, should you be thinking about your body or your golf club? To find out, researchers led by Gabriele Wulf at the Max Planck Institute tested students practicing pitch shots. Those told to focus on the body movement (their arm swing) did not do as well as those told to think about the motion of the clubhead. These findings are supported by a number of studies in other sports that show a clear superiority in performance when the subject focused on external cues, such as the clubhead, and a decrease in performance when they used internal body cues to direct their movements. But while these conclusions may be correct — the more you think about what your body is doing, the worse you will do — the process by which they were arrived at leaves much unsaid. In my experience teaching the golf swing, I have found that learning and playing are different activities and

thus require different models — each dependent on the other, but each unique. Learning is a series of stages where you train the student first to move the body correctly (stage 1), then to move the club (stage 2), next to hit the ball (point A) and last to hit to a target (point B). Then the player practices until the stages merge into a series of general movements stored in unconscious competence. Now they are ready to solve point A-to-point B problems on the golf course, using a general swing that adapts to the specifics of each shot. It appears that this research has looked at the relationship between stage 1 (moving the body) and stage 2 (moving the club), but has failed to make a distinction between learning the motion and playing the game. In my world, when you’re playing the game, focusing on either the club or the body is a disaster. What should you be thinking about? The most external cue of all — the target!

TEEING OFF

THE GOLF DOCTOR

What threw Hoffman off the pace?

The art of the layup

On Sunday at the Deutsche Bank Championship, Charley Hoffman went from the first page of the leaderboard (13 under at the eighth hole) to finish at 5 under. He lost eight shots in nine holes, including a quadruple bogey at 11. So what happened? Did he simply forget how to swing? Research headed by Dr. Zofia Zukowska-Grojec at Georgetown University suggests it may have been his chemistry — specifically, a chemical called neuropeptide Y, or NPY. NPY is a “stress molecule” whose concentration increases with stress. Once a situation is perceived as threatening, the alarm is sounded and a series of chemical changes takes place that prepares the body for the trauma. Everything about Hoffman shouted stress — his shoulders were slumped, his face was a mask of turbulence, even his

Psychologically, one of the worst things you can do is screw up a layup. Always give the layup the same attention as any other shot. The good news is that it doesn’t cost much to be a layup maven because all you have to pay is attention: 1. On any hole with a green you can’t reach in two, play a club off the tee that will get you in play. It’s OK even if it has to be a 5-iron because a layup is required anyway. 2. Always lay up to your strength. If you’re very good from 80 yards, take the club that will get you to the 80-yard point. Don’t automatically hit a fairway wood to try to get as close to the green as you can. 3. Always lay up so that your lie will be level. It’s more important to have level footing than it is to be closer to the green. 4. Never lay up long. The smooth, easy swing that usually accompanies a layup shot often contacts the ball so solidly that it flies a club longer than normal. Landing 15 yards short of the hazard is not much different than 20 yards short, but one yard too long is a penalty, so choose your club conservatively.

bleached-out hair appeared anxious. And on the tee at 11 he looked like he hadn’t had a good breath since hole No. 9. NPY’s role is to keep the stress response from overwhelming us, which may be why some golfers perform well under stress while others fold their tent: When the going gets tough, the tough get NPY. Ongoing studies by Dr. Andy Morgan at Yale University using soldiers in training at Fort Bragg in North Carolina indicate the promise of controlling NPY. “Neuropeptide is a substance that, in addition to many other actions, works on the prefrontal cortex of the brain and helps you stay focused on a task even under stress,” says Dr. Morgan. What to do when the stress level is rising so fast that your NPY supply can’t handle it? First, to give what-

ever amount of NPY you produce a chance to work, breathe. Make a deep breath part of every shot. And train yourself to make one breath every 10 seconds in between shots. Research shows that this will stop the chemical flood of stress. Second, make sure you go through each step of your normal routine. One of the precursors of stressinduced collapse on the golf course is speeding up. It’s as if the player wants to get the round over with so he can be somewhere else, not a good way to play low-scoring golf. Third, realize that it’s your perception that a situation is threatening that’s causing the chemical imbalance, with the operative word being “your.” Since it’s your perception, you can change the entire situation by simply changing how you perceive it. Get hold of yourself — it’s just golf!
