With demonstrations and displays focusing on the pioneer lifestyle of the 19th Century, the 40th annual Busti Apple Festival will provide plenty of opportunities to revisit an era that is gone but certainly not forgotten. Set to take place this Sunday, Sept. 28 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., the Busti Apple Festival will offer familyfriendly activities that will include detailed demonstrations of pioneer life and survival skills that date back to a simpler time. “We have something for everyone and think the different demonstrations and displays should really fascinate people, especially children,” said Lorie Reynolds, who is the publicity chairperson for this year’s festival. “Every year we hear such wonderful feedback on how much people enjoy our festival so we are hoping for another fun and enjoyable day.” One of the highlights of this year’s event for festival-goers will be observing the newly restored and fully-operational
do MORE with High Speed Internet Grist Mill. The historic water turbine was built in 1839 and will be open for guided tours, with freshly ground cornmeal being available for purchase all day. Other attractions this Sunday include a craft sale featuring handmade items being sold by private vendors, a farmers’ market with locally grown produce and other delicious food items available for purchase and a wide variety of ready-to-eat and take-home seasonal food items. Among the specialty food items that will be available
include apple butter, six different types of homemade apple pie, New York State cheeses and fresh cider. Concession items for sale will include hot dogs, hamburgers, funnel cakes and baked goods. “What we offer is a chance for people to take some time to relax and retreat to the thought of simpler times,” said Reynolds. “Even if it is for only one day, we think it is important to remember our heritage and reflect back on how people lived in an era before automobiles and telephones and elec-
tricity and all of the other comforts and realities of life as we now know it.” This year’s festival features an expanded demonstration area with some unique displays giving young and old alike a chance to observe some past practices that were used to survive. There will also be glances into the past of how children were educated and compare that learning environment to today’s 21st Century classroom of smart phones, smart phones and digital textbooks.

tion of reality. Don’t get me wrong – I love my life. I am doing what I love, and I have a beautiful wife and two boys to go home to every day. But the opportunity will always present itself to be dissatisfied with the status quo. In this area, which has faced stagnation economically for many years, we may all have to make a choice to be content. But that is what it is – a choice. It is a choice for us to choose to make the best of what we have. This spawned from a conversation with my wife. She is an incredible super hero to me – staying at home and raising our sons, making a beautiful and peaceful place for us to reside. She said something to the effect of, “sometimes, I just would love to not be covered in drool,” or some other motherly woe. I replied with, “Well, I’d gladly be covered in
drool if it meant I could spend all day with our boys.” We laughed it off as another ‘grass is always greener on the other side’ moment, but it struck a chord for us both. We face challenges in our roles daily, but we both have tremendous opportunities to choose to embrace those challenges with a smile. How we approach each and every situation will absolutely determine the outcome of that situation. Today, I challenge you as a faithful reader. Choose to embrace the positive and forget the negative. The negative will always be there in some regard, and sure it’ll have to be dealt with, but instead of holding on to it and trying to mold it, let it float around nearby until it’s time to be worked on. Choose to be content choose to be satisfied. Scott Wise is the editor of the Chautauqua Star. Comments on this story of any other can be directed to scott.wise@ star-mediagroup.com.

complete. We wait for the sickness to go away. We wait for every bill to paid. We wait for the job to be thrilling, or we wait for the strife to fade. What I’ve learned, though, is that when we spend our time waiting, we will spend our time waiting. Redundant? Sure, but that doesn’t make it any less true. More often than not, it seems, I have to make a choice to be content with my situation. There are things I’d love to change, but I’ve always been someone who looks on the bright side of things. In adulthood, it was easy to lose track of this natural habit, and I thought there was something wrong. But, I realized that it was simply a change I had to make in my thinking. Rather than waiting for things to appear the way I wanted them, I had to choose to be content with how they were. It changes our percep-

Playrooms and Patience By Katy Wise Contributing Article
If you caught last week’s article, we finally got around to showing you our new playroom. This has been the biggest project that we have undertaken so far, but it has also had the most dramatic results. As mentioned (several times) in last week’s article, this project is proving to be an ongoing, progressive project. In other words, we are not done. There is a lot more work that we have yet to do, and a lot of finishing touches to add. But, being a family and taking the best care of our two little guys that we can is always more important than finishing a project.

Vince DeJoy, the City of Jamestown’s Director of Development also noted the significance of the bells as a symbol of the city’s vitality. He observed that, “The dignified ringing of the clock bells at St. Luke’s Church gave residents and visitors alike the certainty that all is well in Jamestown while announcing the hour. As a boy growing up on the west side of Jamestown, I would listen for the chiming of the distant clock bells at bedtime when the hustle and bustle of the day ended, and a sense of serenity and peace would wash over me before I closed my eyes. I look forward to that same feeling once again as the bells are revived and renewed.”

“Although it is difficult to predict the impact, it is reasonable to conclude that increased SBDC services will have a positive impact on northern Chautauqua County,” Ms. Dobies added. SBDC business advisors will offer programs on business basics; local agriculture, products, farmers markets, and crowdfunding; minority and woman-owned business certification;
exporting; and social media. “JCC’s Small Business Development Center plays a vital role in the growth of small business in Chautauqua County,” said Chautauqua County Executive Vince Horrigan. “Expanded services in northern Chautauqua County is especially welcome as we work hard to grow existing businesses and attract new business in the
wake of recent ConAgra plant closings.” Horrigan encourages the business community take full advantage of the services offered by SBDC on both campuses in Chautauqua County.

Audubon Traveling To Allenburg Bog Contributed Article Audubon
Pitcher plants, Sundews, cranberries: these plants don’t grow just anywhere. They need the special conditions that can be provided only by a bog. On Saturday morning, Oct. 11, nature photographer Gary Cuckler will lead an Audubon Center & Sanctuary field trip on an exploration of a floating bog. A visit to the Allenburg Bog is deemed significant enough to be included on Audubon’s 2014 Bucket List of awesome natural history opportunities to experience before one “kicks the bucket.” The outing is planned for peak fall foliage time. Also known to some as Waterman’s Swamp, Congdon’s Pond, and Owlenburg Bog, the Allenberg Bog is located
on the border of the towns of Napoli and New Albion, New York, in Cattaraugus County. This unique and fascinating 390-acre refuge is a jewel of the Buffalo Audubon Preserve System. The area is long famous among botanists for its wild orchids, more than 30 species of liverworts, nearly 60 species of mosses, and approximately 258 species of vascular plants, providing the visitor the chance to see a very unusual habitat. On Oct. 11, participants will meet at Audubon at 7:30 a.m. or the R&M Diner in Randolph, New York, at 8 a.m., then travel by van or carpool to the bog. Dress for the weather and wear shoes or boots that can get seriously mucky and wet. Consider bringing insect repellent, a hat, camera, water, and a snack. More information can be found at www. buffaloaudubon.org/allenbergbog.php.
Participation is limited to 15. Cost is $28 or $21 for Friends of the Nature Center. Reservations with payment are required by Monday, Oct. 6: call (716) 569-2345 or use the on-line form by clicking through “Bucket List: Bog Trip” at www.jamestownaudubon.org. For more information on this and other Audubon opportunities, call (716) 569-2345 or visit www.jamestownaudubon.org.
As part of its Bucket List Series, on Saturday morning, Oct. 11, the Audubon Center & Sanctuary is taking a field trip to the Allenburg Bog in Cattaraugus County. This pitcher plant is just one of the insect-eating plants you can find in a bog. (Photo by Jennifer Schlick)

tions, Hastings said. “The project also references the historical act of collecting the unknown to better understand our significance in the universe.” The collection will be presented in a gallery setting with each video-based life form displayed in a small wooden display case reminiscent of specimen cases from the 19th century. Each specimen will be labeled with the pertinent scientific information associated with the created Linnaean classifications. “The process by which this video series is created is similar to genetic modification. I enter into the

This transformation is a matter of organic exploration,” Hastings explained. “The more I push these results, the more removed the final imagery is from the original source material. Through precise animation using key frames applied to custom designed software effects each specimen’s outcome is realized through countless evolutionary steps in the process.”

E2CCB Integrated Education Services (IES) will lead this work with participating districts by reviewing the assessments they use in an effort to determine how tests are utilized and whether they are necessary. Principals will be supported in leading assessment audits to decide whether district assessments should be kept, revised or eliminated. Following the assessment audits, action plans will be developed in order to ensure that they are high quality and provide teachers with data that is useful

to inform instruction. Additionally, this will ensure that the assessments used will yield important information regarding students, but minimize any negative impact on instructional time. Erie 2 BOCES supports more than 39,000 students across 27 component districts, as well as the instructional programs in Special Education, Alternative Education, and Career & Technical Education Divisions, in the implementation of the Common Core State Standards and the NYS Curriculum Modules. It works to build the capacity of both district administrators and teachers in these endeavors. E2CCB is on the forefront of engaging school districts, educators and students in
educational reforms related to the Regents Reform Agenda, Annual Professional Performance Review and Common Core State Learning Standards. The work of the IES Team assists component school districts in the implementation of effective academic strategies and instruction through the development of a successful instructional staff. This work is challenging, collaborative, active and on-going. “I am proud of the work that the IES Team has done and the services we have provided to our component districts,” added O’Rourke. “This advances that work and will have a positive impact in our learning communities.” For more information on the services offered by E2CCB, please visit: www.e2ccb.org.

The State University of New York at Fredonia renews its connection to Hollywood’s legendary Marx Brothers by staging the annual “Freedonia Marxonia: Marx Brothers Film Festival and Sympo-
ering that opens, quite fittingly, on Thursday, Oct. 2, the birthday of the bespectacled Groucho Marx. The festival celebrates the link between the village of Fredonia and the 1933 Marx Brothers’ fi lm “Duck Soup,” which is set in
the mythical country of Freedonia. Despite the lukewarm reception the fi lm received in 1933, it enjoys widespread appeal today and is considered a classic political farce. “Duck Soup” holds the No. 5 position on the American Film Institute’s list of the 100 funniest American
fi lms of all time. Activities will kick-off with the opening of the Freedonia Marxonia exhibit in Reed Library on Thursday, Oct. 2 at 3 p.m. Welcoming remarks will be followed by the traditional Freedonia Marxonia group photo at 3:15 pm. Continued on pg 11

the husband and wife, as well as how to raise and discipline children. Besides instructing us in our responsibilities, the Bible tells us how to help our spouse or child if they are not “doing their part” in the family. The Bible also contains answers concerning some of the special circumstances that a family may encounter including divorce and remarriage, forgiveness, and the special challenges of raising children in a single parent household. You see my friend, God knows the situations of today as well as those of the past. His Word is relevant for the concerns of today’s families. It’s my prayer that if you are hurting and need answers for your home that God will use His Holy Word to strengthen you and give you the answers that you seek. Over the next few weeks, we will be looking at some specific family issues and seeing what God has to say. Keep reading!

6 Family Cars that stand out From the pack
Contributed Article impressed by the Volt's AutoTrader.com
You don't need to blend in on the road just because you have a family. We've put together a list of excellent family cars that stand out from the crowd by featuring unique styling, offering cool features or taking a different approach on the popular family car image. While some cars emphasize glamour and style, others prioritize fuel efficiency -- but each one offers a different take on the traditional family car than you're probably accustomed to.
Chevrolet Volt
The Chevrolet Volt is a plug-in hybrid hatchback that combines eco-friendly driving with enough room for the whole family. Priced from about $35,000 with shipping (before state and local tax rebates, which can be significant), the 4-seat Volt offers enough legroom for most young passengers and enough cargo room for their gear. Of course, we're most
excellent gas mileage, which includes a fully electric range of around 40 miles before the range-extending gasoline engine kicks in. In addition, the Volt offers futuristic styling and capacitive touch controls to liven up the traditionally dull world of modern family cars.
Ford Flex
Think of the Ford Flex as the antidote to traditionally styled minivans and SUVs. Priced from around $30,000 with shipping, the Flex offers unusual eye-catching styling that somehow manages to make its boxy shape look cool. While the standard V6 is powerful enough to move the 3-row crossover, the Flex's best attribute is its optional powerplant: an EcoBoost V6 that touts 355 horsepower and brings the Flex to 60 miles per hour in about 6 seconds. If that's not enough to raise your eyebrows, you might be wooed by the Flex's impressive list of available features, which includes a huge pan-

oramic sunroof and an interior refrigerator.
Jeep grand Cherokee SRT
The Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT has one big drawback: price. It starts at $65,200 with shipping, making it the most expensive Jeep model in the lineup. If that strikes you as a little pricey for a Jeep, it is -- but the Grand Cherokee SRT isn't a usual Jeep. Instead, it features a monstrous
470-hp 6.4-liter V8 that helps to propel the SUV to 60 mph in just 4.5 seconds. It also features sport-tuned suspension, aggressive styling and highperformance Brembo brakes. Inside, it still has everything you'd want from a family car, including a comfortable interior, an easy-to-use infotainment system and a roomy rear seat and cargo area.
who spends time behind the wheel of Volkswagen's fuel-efficient Jetta TDI SportWagen walks away impressed. That includes us: We like the cargo capacity, the surprisingly large interior, and best of all, the gas mileage, which reaches as high as 30 miles per gallon in the city and 42 mpg on the highway. Pricing is also fairly reasonable, starting around $27,000 with shipping for a base-level model with a backup camera, alloy wheels and a power sunroof. Most importantly, it isn't an SUV, and it isn't a hybrid, proving that you don't need to stick to the usual choices for a fuel-efficient family vehicle.

Chautauqua County and its surroundings have so many great places to see and things to do. Each city, village and town has a story, and we’ve set out to tell that story.

by the grand jury for erecting this dam "to the great injury and common nuisance of the liege citizens of the State." He was found guilty, and fined fifteen dollars and substantial costs. He removed the dam, rebuilding on a new site where it was evidently not considered a "common nuisance." The settlement was then known as "Prendergast Mills" and "The Rapids," but in 1815 the name "Jamestown" was adopted to honor the founder, and a year or so later a post office was established and Jamestown was on it‘s way to
being the largest community in the County.
Masonry
In 1817 the Mount Moriah Masonic Lodge F. & A.M. had it’s first meeting in Busti at Master Heman Bush’s tavern. The members voted to move to Jamestown where it stayed and flourished for 180 years until moving back to Busti. Many other concordant bodies of the Masonic Order flourish in the City.
Early Development
A one and one-half story gristmill building, with two runs of stones, two single sawmills
and one gang sawmill, all owned by James Prendergast. There was one small store of goods owned by Jediah and Martin Prendergast, of Mayville, managed by Thomas Disher, a clerk. Two small shanty blacksmith shops were occupied by Eleazer Daniels and Patrick Campbell, and a small out of doors tannery owned by John Burge and James Rice. The chief business was cutting lumber. In November, 1815, there were thirteen families living on Jamestown territory, occupying rude cabins, and some men without
families. During the clearing of the land for agricultural and small industrial purposes, the abundant forests were utilized virtually as a “cash crop” employer. Hardwood too heavy to float downstream and too expensive to transport overland to market was burned and the ash leeched to obtain lye and “pearl ash”, an important component in the manufacture of glass products. By the mid 1820’s, the area became one of the largest centers in North America for the production of pearl ash. Continued on pg 23

Today, the City of Jamestown is a vibrant community serving as the industrial, commercial, financial and recreational hub of Southwestern New York. As the center of a metropolitan area of more than 70,000 residents and a market area of nearly 175,000 people, Jamestown supports a broad diversity of industry, modern commercial establishments and financial institutions, and provides a myriad of cultural and recreation opportunities for its residents. Jamestown’s “balanced community living” reflects the commitment of both public and private sector forces to provide the highest quality of life possible. Ref: A Long Ride to Albany by John A.

GREEN BAY PACKERS (1-2) at CHICAGO BEARS (2-1)
The Packers are on the short list of most disappointing teams early in this NFL season. After getting pasted by the Seahawks in the first game, they eked out the Jets before being embarrassed by the Lions. Green Bay will play its third road game already when it travels to play another division rival in Week 4. Aaron Rodgers and Eddie Lacy have both been undone by the Packers’ biggest weakness — the offensive line. The Bears don’t exactly have a menacing pass rush, so perhaps this is the game when the Packers’ offense finally gets going. Fantasy owners everywhere are hoping for the best, anyway.

Self-Proclaimed Expert Picks: Week 4, continued from page 24 The Bears lost in Week 1 to the Bills and fans everywhere threw in the towel on the season. After backto-back road wins, suddenly the Super Bowl title is within reach. You’ve gotta love the NFL. Jay Cutler has throw eight touchdowns already and has kept his mistakes to a minimum the last two weeks. This should be a high scoring game so expect a healthy dose of Matt Forte, Alshon Jeffery and Brandon Marshall. Marshall's health has been a concern, so that’s something to keep an eye on as well.

at home. This is already the Jets’ third home game. If Eric Decker is healthy, look for him to make an impact. The Lions defense has been as advertised thus far. That front four is superb at stopping the run, perhaps the one thing that the Jets do well on offense. It’ll be strength against strength. Even with the Lions’ explosive offense, expect this game to be rather low scoring. PICK VS. SPREAD: Jets (+1.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Jets.
TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS (0-3) at PITTSBURGH STEELERS (2-1)
There’s something about prime time games that makes the national perception of team’s change dramatically over the course of just one game. Take the Bucs, for instance. Everyone knows just how horribly they played on Thursday Night Football against the Falcons. Now, they’re being mentioned in the same breath as the Jaguars and the Raiders. Let’s hold on here. This is a much more talented football team than that. Mike Glennon will probably be back under center in this one after Josh McCown was hurt in last week’s blowout loss. Look for him to look for Vincent Jackson early and often. Then there are the Steelers, who were trounced in Week 2 by the Ravens on Thursday Night Football. After that loss, the talking heads were all piling dirt on the Steelers as if they were finished. Now, just one week later, they’re being talked about as threats in the AFC. That’s the nature of the beast that is the NFL. The Steelers ran the ball like mad against the Panthers last week. Look for more of the same against a softer Tampa Bay defense.
PICK VS. SPREAD: Buccaneers (+7.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Steelers.
MIAMI DOLPHINS (1-2) at OAKLAND RAIDERS (0-3)
Remember when the Dolphins beat up on the Patriots in Week 1 and suddenly the division was Miami’s for the taking. Well, two ugly losses later and that same team is trying to avoid a devastating 1-3 start. Luckily, the Dolphins catch a break by getting to travel to the beautiful Bay Area and play against a scrapheap of football players called the Raiders. The more this team plays, the more it proves itself as the worst team in the NFL. And this roster was put together by someone raised up in the Packers organization? For shame. Lamar Miller had his best game as a pro last week and he should be fed the rock a lot against the Silver and Black. Ryan Tannehill has been throwing the ball far too often this season, so it would be incredibly helpful to have a solid running game. And yes, the Raiders are somehow only fourpoint underdogs. PICK VS. SPREAD: Dolphins (-4). STRAIGHT PICK: Dolphins.
JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS (0-3) at SAN DIEGO CHARGERS (2-1)
Oof. What it must be like to be a fan of the Jacksonville Jaguars this week. Not only has the team been embarrassed in all three of its games thus far, but now it has to travel across the country to take on the red-hot San Diego Chargers. How on Earth can the Jags possibly be talking this up as if they have a chance of winning? Any given Sunday? Who knows? Continued on pg 26

CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 2014
SELF-PROCLAIMED ExPERT PICKS: WEEK 4, COnTInuED FROM PAgE 25 The Chargers looked like a complete team in shutting down the Bills last week. They lost running back Ryan Mathews the week prior and then lost Danny Woodhead for the season just a few plays into the Bills game. Donald Brown managed just two yards per carry, yet the Chargers just kept on trucking. The defense should manhandle Jacksonville and the offense should have no trouble moving the ball through the air against a horrendous Jaguars secondary. The one and only thing about the Jaguars that’s even remotely interesting is the development of third-overall pick Blake Bortles at quarterback. The guy has the makeup of a real pro, but the team around him is terrible for the time being. Will that ruin his development? PICK VS. SPREAD: Jaguars (+13.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Chargers.
ATLANTA FALCONS (2-1) at MINNESOTA VIKINGS (1-2)
Hang on to your seats. It’s Teddy Bridgewater time! With Matt Cassel headed to the IR, this is Bridgewater’s team now. In what will be his first career start, he gets to play at home but has to go up against the surging Falcons. This will almost assuredly be a shootout as both defenses are pretty bad, so Bridgewater should put up some nice stats, but it’s impossible to pick against the Falcons offense in a shootout. The Vikings need to do something about the running game to help Bridgewater out. Yes, the Adrian Peterson situation stinks, but their leading rusher right now is still Cordarrelle Patterson with four carries for 95 yards. You’ll remember his broken-play touchdown
STRAIGHT PICK: Saints.

run in Week 1 that accounts for nearly all of that yardage. As bad as the Falcons are on defense, they can surely stop a one-dimensional team. The Falcons should have Roddy White back this week, which will only bolster an already incredibly dangerous offensive attack. Matt Ryan is playing like an MVP and he’ll put up huge numbers again against this putrid team. A better run game would help, but at this point, there’s not much to complain about for the Falcons. Look for them to get to 3-1 pretty easily. PICK VS. SPREAD: Falcons (-3). STRAIGHT PICK: Falcons.
PHILADELPHIA EAGLES (3-0) at SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS (1-2) The 49ers have certainly played better than all of the other 1-2 teams in the NFL, but sadly, record is the only thing that counts in the standings. After blowing a big lead against the Bears in the Levi Stadium debut, the 49ers are surely anxious to get back there and get their first-ever win in their new stomping grounds. Standing in the way are the Cardiac Kids, that is to say the Eagles. Philly has fallen behind by double-digit points in each of its three games and yet has come back to win them all. That’s what happens when you have an explosive offense. You’re never out of a game.
Nick Foles isn’t quite on his ridiculous turnover-less pace he was last season, but he’s playing at a very high level. He and the Eagles won’t be intimidated by an injured, but still stout 49ers defense. It’s possible the 49ers simply took the Cardinals too lightly last week. It was a 2-0 team, but a team playing without its starting quarterback and many of its best defensive players from a year ago. Well, that team kicked the 49ers to the curb with authority. Colin Kaepernick looks tentative and hesitant to make mistakes and it’s probably costing his team games. The running game hasn’t gotten going yet and the defense bends just enough for the 49ers to be losing games. The Eagles are good, but it would be shocking if they went into San Fran and knocked off a desperate, underdog 49ers team. PICK VS. SPREAD: 49ers (+5). STRAIGHT PICK: 49ers.
NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (1-2) at DALLAS COWBOYS (2-1)
Raise your hand if you had the Cowboys with a better record than the Saints at any point during this season. You’re either a delusional Cowboys fan, a genius, or a liar. Yet the Cowboys have won two straight games behind the stellar running of DeMarco Murray (385 yards, three scores already this
season) and a defense that is significantly better than anyone anticipated (though still not great). Tony Romo was putrid in Week 1, but has settled down and led the Cowboys to a pair of wins. A broken coverage long touchdown to Dez Bryant made his stats from last week look better than he played, but Romo has at least cut down on mistakes. Against a thus-far soft Saints defense, he should be able to put up some numbers. The Saints just aren’t the same team on the road as they are in the Superdome. They’re already 0-2 on the road and an early third road game probably isn’t going to do them any favors. Drew Brees has been very unDrew Brees-like so far this season and Jimmy Graham has been very quiet in two of the Saints’ three games. Losing Mark Ingram to a broken hand is taking its toll on the running game, as well. The Cowboys defense is bad, but the Saints will still have to step up the offensive production to win what should be a shootout on Sunday Night Football. If the Cowboys win this, the Saints immediately become the most surprising 1-3 team in recent memory and the Cowboys might just be the most surprising 3-1 team ever. But alas, none of that is going to happen. PICK VS. SPREAD: Saints (-3).
This is a very intriguing Monday Night Football matchup. Neither team is playing at a super high level, yet neither team is struggling mightily. The Chiefs defense is banged up badly, but the Patriots offensive line is lousy. It’s always hard to pick against the Patriots because they’re the Patriots, but are they really still the Patriots? Tom Brady has performed at a very low level (just ask his fantasy owners) early on this season. The offensive line gives him no time and he’s never been able to escape pressure with his legs. Julian Edelman has been good once again, but Danny Amendola has been non-existent and Rob Gronkowski is only relevant down at the goal line. Stevan Ridley had one good game running the ball, but that’s an aspect the Pats will need to improve on as the season progresses as well. It’s been the defense (and a game against the Raiders) that has kept the Patriots afloat. The Chiefs earned their first win in emphatic fashion last week. Knile Davis filled in for Jamaal Charles and (pun intended) took the ball and ran with it. It’s still up in the air if Charles plays this week, but a long week should help his chances. Of course, going with Davis obviously wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world. Travis Kelce has inexplicably been a big part of the Chiefs offense as well, hauling in a touchdown last week. The defense is badly injured, but it’s a well-coached unit and just might be able to put some pressure on Brady and force some turnovers. PICK VS. SPREAD: Chiefs (+3.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Chiefs.

DAY FROM HERE D i a ry EVERY On OuT IS A BOnuS
Golfer's By Stefan Gestwicki only played 18 a handStar Sports Editor
The Golfer’s Diary is a weekly column for golf lovers. I am entering my third season as a golfer, so I’m not sure I totally qualify as a novice anymore, but I’ll discuss different courses, weather effects, new equipment and more relating to the game we love. Is anyone else having an increasingly hard time going into work in the morning when the sun in shining and the wind is calm? I even have to drive past Shorewood Country Club on the way to the office every morning. That’s just not fair. All I want to do is golf. I know that time is limited and I hate wasting a day when I could be out there hitting the ball around. At the same time, I grew up pitching horseshoes every night with my dad. Every time we got out there in September or October and it wasn’t rainy or cold, he would always call it a “bonus day.” That’s how I’m trying to look at these next few weeks of the golf season. If I can get out even once per week for the next three weeks, I’ll be a very happy golfer. I was a VERY happy golfer last Friday when Bryan and I were able to get out for 18 holes at Pinehurst Golf Club in Westfield. I’ve still
ful of times this season, but last time I did I shot a 91 on the same course, so I had high hopes of breaking 90. Those hopes quickly evaporated as I simply couldn’t put the ball in the hole early on. I was three-putting from within 10 feet. I was lipping putts or pushing them past the hole or misreading them. It was just a putrid display of putting. If a spectator had watched that, they would have thought I had never held a golf club before. It was pathetic. It was especially hard to swallow because the rest of my game was working pretty well. I had a couple monster drives. I was hitting the irons really nice. My chipping was outstanding. I simply couldn’t putt for the fi rst seven or so holes. Here’s how the beginning of the round went (those with sensitive stomachs should turn away now): bogey, bogey, double bogey, double bogey, bogey, bogey. I fi nally, FINALLY, broke the
streak with a par on No. 7, but even that was a two-putt after hitting a nice tee shot onto the green of the par 3. I fi nished the front nine at 47, which admittedly isn’t horrible, but is a far cry from being able to break 90. I haven’t shot anything lower than 42 all year, so shooting a 41 while playing like garbage would have been a stretch. The fi rst two holes of the back nine was more of the same — kind of. It was more poor iron play that led to a double bogey and a bogey to open the back nine, but it was still poor play on my part. I had no answers. I had no excuses. It just wasn’t my day. Then something happened. I started playing better. Much better, in fact. A string of par, bogey, bogey, par, par had me right back in the mix of possibly playing a decent round. The back nine ended at 45, putting me at a 92 for the day. Two average rounds for me, but I still felt like I had a major
Home Automation at your fingertips powered by
breakthrough round in me before the year is over. So I was all pumped up when Bryan and I were able to run out to Cassadaga Country Club on Monday afternoon. It was cold, but otherwise not terrible weather conditions. We both remarked how amazing the course looked, too. Steve (the golf pro and greens keeper) told us he had just mowed and moved the pins, etc. All the work paid off. That course was looking great. Unfortunately, my breakthrough round is still hiding deep within me somewhere. I know it’s there. I can feel it. I’m going to play great one of these days. Perhaps even a personal best. Where it’ll be or when it’ll happen, I wish I knew. The putting inability reared its ugly head right away on No. 1. I bombed a drive over the creek before hitting a pitching wedge just short of the green. Gosh I wish I had that shot back. It felt so good, but I knew as
soon as I hit it that I had let up just enough to stop on the fringe. A decent chip onto the green left me with a 10-foot par putt. It was uphill with very little break. No problem, right? Wrong. I blew right past the hole, missed coming back and ended with a double bogey. I’m usually pretty composed on the golf course, but that was a very irritating way to start a round. After a double bogey on No. 2, arguably the easiest hole on the course, I knew I was in for a long day. I played okay for a stretch, but then decided since it was a lost round to start trying to hit my lob wedge again. It’s a club I haven’t hit in two full years. I’m not entirely sure why I continue to carry it in my bag. I’m much better at just opening up the pitching wedge to get the ball up with some loft. With the lob wedge, I just can’t get it right. I gave up on it during my fi rst year of golfing when I discovered

I was actually pretty good with the pitching wedge from lots of different positions. When I brought it back, nothing had changed initially. I’d hit the ball straight up in the air, but my maximum distance was only about 20 feet. Yes, that’s feet, not yards. So I took the opportunity to play around with the club, since it was a lost round anyway. I actually hit a couple decent ones. In fact, my fi rst chip in of the year came with the 60–degree wedge. It was on No. 7, but technically shouldn’t have counted. I was on the very edge of the green, but wanted to test the club, so I picked up my ball and moved it to the rough. The result? Perfection. I lofted the ball up, it tracked the pin and went right in. I was almost disappointed because it might make me use the club again, but I know I’ll just butcher it. Are there any clubs that anyone else has given up on? Bryan can’t seem to hit a wood to save his life and has all but retired them. I’d love to hear your thoughts. As always, golf is great. Go get yourself some. Stefan Gestwicki is the sports editor of the Chautauqua Star. Comments on this article or any other can be directed to stefan. gestwicki@gmail.com.

COMMENTARY: Let’s not Overreact Here
By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
Okay. Deep breath, everybody. Despite the mood around Western New York this week, the Bills are still in first place in the AFC East. I’ve said in every one of my Bills-related commentaries this year that Bills fans are the most up when their team wins and down when their team loses. And again, I’m not saying that as a bad thing. It’s passion. I love passionate fans. But this whole “E.J. Manuel has to go.” Or “Nathaniel Hackett is a terrible offensive coordinator” stuff has to stop. I’m probably going to spend this space absolutely ripping the Bills a new one. They looked awful on Sunday. There’s no one that can argue against that. But the bottom line is that it’s still only one loss. No matter how badly a team looks (and the Bills were a train wreck), it still just counts as one in the loss column. Where to even start? The offense was lousy. The defense was by far the worst of the season. The play calling was
strange. The intensity was lacking. Let’s fi rst look at Manuel and the offense. Remember how for the last two weeks I wrote about how Manuel simply can’t put any zip on his throws? Jim Kelly spent a few minutes in the broadcast booth and said the exact same thing. That’s not just a sports editor of the Chautauqua Star. That’s a Hall of Fame quarterback. Point validated. To Manuel’s credit, he still made the right reads once again. That was the one thing that really impressed me during the first two games. He hasn’t forced throws. He hasn’t panicked. He’s just not very good at throwing. It was painfully obvious this week against the Chargers. Yes, pun intended. Manuel left a number of his receivers open to big hits with his horrible throws. Marquis Goodwin certainly got the worst of it, but he was hardly alone. It certainly appears that the only throws that Manuel can make on a regular basis are screens. Yes, he’s very good at throwing the ball five yards. Huzzah! Now that’s a fi rst-round pick quarterback for you. Luckily for Manuel and the Bills, both Fred Jackson and C.J. Spiller are dangerous weapons on those short throws. There’s been a lot of talk about Hackett’s play calling this week as well. Just stop. Manuel simply isn’t
E.J. Manuel simply has to be better than he was against the Chargers on Sunday. He’ll get his first chance against the strong Houston defense this week. (AP Photo).
the type of quarterback that’s supposed to throw 39 times in a game. But when the Bills fell behind by multiple scores early, what choice did Hackett have but to call passes? Yes, the Bills are a team that is much better at pounding the rock and perhaps they should have spent a few more plays trying to run a draw or something to keep the defense honest, but the Bills’ offense line was simply overmatched all game long. The fourth down play in the fourth quarter wasn’t even a terrible play call. Yes, I thought it was idiotic at fi rst glance. But after watching replays, Manuel had plenty of other options and simply got rid of the ball too quickly. Alright, defense. Your turn. Step up to the shredder. Sometimes you miss on first-round picks. That’s just the nature of the beast. The Bills missed on Stephon Gilmore. It’s time to admit that.
In no way am I saying that Gilmore should be cut, because he’s a serviceable NFL player. But he’s in no way a No. 1 shutdown cornerback. He got torched time after time on Sunday. He was getting beaten badly by the likes of Eddie Royal, for Pete’s sake. The defense’s lack of intensity was startling. After the fi rst two or three drives when the Chargers’ offensive line simply stonewalled the Bills’ usually devastating pass rush, it seemed like those guys simply gave up and started just hoping someone else would make a play. They didn’t. That defensive line was manhandled all game. Phillip Rivers is a good quarterback. He should never have enough time in the pocket to look like Peyton Manning or Tom Brady in their primes. Someone had to step up and get this defense going and no one did. It was a strange game plan that the Chargers
came in with, too. The Bills pass rush hadn’t been giving opposing quarterbacks much time at all, yet the Chargers saw something that allowed them to think they could connect on early deep balls. The lack of pass rush put pressure on the secondary and those guys didn’t respond either. After being very stout against the big play in the fi rst two games, the defense was continuously giving up big plays in this one. As bad as the Bills played on both sides of the ball and despite the fi nal score, I’m still not convinced the Bills are all that bad. Or maybe there’s an epidemic that’s going to derail the entire season. Only time will tell. The aspect of the game in question: Penalties. The Bills were hit with 11 penalties for 110 yards. That’s only the penalties that were accepted. There were a couple instances where the team committed more than one penalty on a single play. This also came on the heels of getting hit with nine penalties for 108 yards against the Bears and six for 40 yards against the Dolphins. The penalties came very close to costing the Bills a win against the Bears and cost the offense many big plays against the Chargers. Who can say what would have happened if some of those long gains by Fred Jackson or C.J.
Spiller would have stood instead of being called back? While it’s hard to fathom the Bills truly committing that many more penalties than their opponents, it only counts if you get caught and the Bills are getting caught. For some reason the referees have been targeting the Bills and the players need to be more careful. Yes, the penalties have been a big part of all three games, but it’s also the reason why I feel the Bills aren’t totally lost after one loss. If they fi nd a way to fi x this rain of yellow flags, a whole lot more could go right. Also, would people please stop saying the Chargers are clearly the class of the AFC after knocking off the Seahawks in Week 2 and then the Bills. This Chargers team has some major fl aws and has gotten some major aid from the weather and the officials. I’m saying right now that I’m not impressed by the Chargers at all. They’re a playoff team, but only because the AFC is very weak. I’d take the Broncos or Bengals or even the 1-2 Colts over the Chargers all day. Time to get back on track against the Ryan Fitzpatrick-led Texans this week. Go Bills! Stefan Gestwicki is the sports editor of the Chautauqua Star.

Pheasants Released For Hunting Season
Contributed Article NYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation
Approximately 30,000 adult pheasants will be released on lands open to public hunting for the upcoming fall pheasant hunting season, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) announced today. The pheasant hunting season begins on October 1 in northern and eastern portions of New York, October 18 in central and western portions, and November 1 on Long Island. "The Day-old Pheasant Chick Program provides additional opportunities for pheasant hunters," said DEC Commissioner Joe Martens. "Pheasant hunting opportunities have also been augmented by private landowners who have opened their land to public hunting. DEC is grateful for their help in providing a highquality hunting experience for New York's sportsmen and
sportswomen." Since 2007, DEC has offered a special youth-only season to provide junior hunters (12-15 years old) the opportunity to hunt pheasants the weekend prior to the regular pheasant hunting season. In western New York, the youth pheasant hunt weekend is October 11-12. In northern and eastern New York, the youth pheasant hunt weekend is September 27-28, and on Long Island (Nassau and Suffolk counties) it is October 25-26. Pheasants will be released on a number of selected release sites across the state to provide ample hunting opportunities for junior hunters. All current pheasant hunting rules and regulations remain in effect during the youth hunt. Please note that due to new legislation that changed the start of the license year from October 1 to September 1, either a 2013-14 hunting license or a 2014-15 hunting license can
be used to hunt during September this year. A 2014-15 license is required starting October 1. All release sites for pheasants provided by state-funded programs are open to public hunting. Pheasants will be released on state-owned lands prior to and during the fall hunting season, and thanks to a partnership with New York City Department of Environmental Protection, at a number of sites on New York City Watershed lands. A list of statewide pheasant release sites and sites receiving birds for the youth-only pheasant hunt weekends can be found on DEC's website at: http://www.dec.ny.gov/ outdoor/9349.html. The program was developed in the early 1900s to provide day-old pheasant chicks to cooperating 4-H groups and sportsmen and sportswomen. The chicks are distributed to program participants in May and June, and cooperators incur
all costs associated with rearing the birds, including feed, water, utilities and facility construction. The birds are raised to adulthood and released on lands open to public hunting before the season opens. This year, about 40,000 pheasant chicks were distributed statewide as part of this program. For more information about DEC's day-old pheasant rearing program, please see: Day-Old Pheasant Chick Program on DEC's website. Those interested in raising and releasing pheasants to expand next year's hunting opportunities can contact DEC's Reynolds Game Farm at (607) 273-2768. Boundaries for pheasant hunting zones conform to Wildlife Management Units used for management of other upland wildlife. Wildlife Management Unit boundary descriptions can be found on DEC's website. In addition to knowing these unit boundary descriptions, hunters should review the
2014-15 New York Hunting & Trapping Guide for complete regulations and other important information before going afield. Hunters who plan to use private lands should ask permission from the landowner. In support of the NY Open for Fishing and Hunting Initiative, this year's budget includes $6 million in NY Works funding to support creating 50 new land and water access projects to connect hunters, anglers, bird watchers and others who enjoy the outdoors to more than 380,000 acres of existing state and easement lands that have not reached their full potential. These 50 new access projects include building new boat launches, installing new hunting blinds and building new trails and parking areas. In addition, the 2014-15 budget includes $4 million to repair the state's fish hatcheries; and renews and allows expanded use of crossbows for hunting in New York State.
Hunters Encouraged To Apply Early For Deer Permits Contributed Article NYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation
The Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) reminded hunters to apply for deer management permits (DMPs) this week, ahead of the October 1 deadline, DEC Commissioner Joe Martens announced today. "In addition to providing enjoyable days afield with family and friends and sustainably harvested food on the table, recreational deer hunting is our most effective deer population management tool,"
said Commissioner Martens. "Hunters are eligible to apply for up to two deer management permits once they have secured a hunting license, allowing them to harvest antlerless deer to keep deep populations in line with established objectives." DEC's wildlife biologists carefully analyze harvest information in conjunction with deer population objectives, developed with valuable input from citizen task forces, to establish deer management permit quotas for each Wildlife Management Unit (WMU). WMUs
are the geographical units DEC uses to set hunting and trapping seasons in New York State. New York hunters can apply for up to two deer management permits once they have secured a hunting license. DEC's computerized licensing system allows hunters to immediately learn the outcome of their permit application. The likelihood that a hunter will be selected for a permit is largely based on the number of deer management permits to be issued in a Wildlife Management Area and the number
www.classifiedsonus.com
of hunters that historically apply for those permits. To date, applications for deer management permits have been slightly lower than in previous years. "Deer management permits for the 2014-15 hunting season have been available since the first week of August and we want to encourage hunters to apply for deer management permits in advance of the October 1 deadline," Commissioner Martens said. Sporting licenses and permits can be purchased at one of DEC's 1,100 license sales outlets statewide.
Licenses can also be ordered by telephone at 866-9332257, or on DEC's website. The 2014-2015 hunting and trapping licenses are valid for one year beginning September 1, 2014. Under a new state law that took effect in February, fishing licenses and recreational marine fishing registrations are now valid for 365 days from dateof-purchase. Funds from the sale of all sporting licenses are deposited into the Conservation Fund, which is used to manage New York's fish and wildlife populations and protect and manage fish and wildlife habitat.

LAKE ERIE FISHIng HOTLInE, COnTInuED FROM PAgE 24 In typical late-summer fashion, the walleye fishing is starting to slow down. However, trollers are still catching some eyes' west of Cattaraugus Creek. From Cattaraugus Creek to Dunkirk, the better bite has been in 70-80 feet of water, around 50-55 feet down. From Dunkirk to west of Barcelona Harbor, target walleye over depths of 80-110 feet with gear run 60-80 feet down. Worm harnesses have been the top producer, but stickbaits are a good option when pesky white bass are around. Lake trout are still available at depths over 80 feet, from Dunkirk to the PA line. Trolling with spoons run near the bottom is a good bet for lakers averaging 8-12 pounds, with the occasional lunker over 20 pounds! Steelhead are staging off tributary streams in preparation for their fall run. Boaters can target steelhead around stream mouths and out to depths of 70 feet by trolling flashy spoons between 2 and 2.5 mph. Some coho salmon in the 10-12 pound range have also been showing up in offshore catches, so don't be surprised if you hook into one of them! Bass fishing has been slow lately. Areas around Buffalo, including Seneca Shoal and Myers Reef, remain your best bets at depths of 20-40 feet. Key on rocky areas and ledges using drop-shots rigs tipped with crayfish, live shiners, or tube jigs.
Anglers can target muskellunge around Strawberry Island and the Huntley Plant. Drifting with large 8-10 inch tube jigs or casting large stickbaits are good bets.
Chautauqua Lake
Fall is a good time to target muskellunge on Chautauqua Lake, and action has been good lately on large perch pattern stickbaits. Some catches have come along weed edges, while other suspended musky were caught over depths of 25-35 feet. Anglers have caught some walleye around deep drop-offs in the north basin on jigging rapalas.
Inland Trout Fishing
The inland trout streams have lower, clear flows. There are some small, sporadic hatches of tricos, isonychia and blue-winged olives happening in the area. Terrestrials such as ants, beetles and grasshoppers are good options as well.

tony stewart will not Face Charges in deadly Crash
By Jenna Fryer and Carolyn Thompson Associated Press
Three-time NASCAR champion Tony Stewart will not be charged with the death of a fellow driver at a sprint car race in upstate New York, prosecutors said Wednesday in disclosing for the first time that the victim had enough marijuana in his system the night he died to impair his judgment. Ontario County District Attorney Michael Tantillo said a grand jury decided against charging Stewart with either second-degree manslaughter or criminally negligent homicide in the Aug. 9 death of Kevin Ward Jr., who was struck and killed as he walked down the track in an apparent attempt to confront the NASCAR veteran after their cars got tangled up one lap earlier. "There is toxicology evidence in the case relating to Kevin Ward that indicates that at the time of operation he was under the influence of marijuana," Tantillo said. "The levels determined were enough to impair judgment." Tantillo also said two videos — one from a fan, the other from the tiny track in this New York hamlet, had been examined and enhanced. Both showed Stewart did not do anything wrong and that there was no "aberrational driving."
The decision came nearly seven weeks after Stewart's car struck and killed Ward, sending shock waves through the top racing series in the United States. "This has been the toughest and most emotional experience of my life, and it will stay with me forever," Stewart said in a prepared statement. "While much of the attention has been on me, it's important to remember a young man lost his life. Kevin Ward Jr.'s family and friends will always be in my thoughts and prayers." The grand jurors "were not considering whether anybody else was at fault," Tantillo said. "However, I am sure from their deliberations and discussions that the fact that Kevin Ward was observed running basically down two thirds of the track, into a hot track, into the middle of other cars that were racing, played a big, big factor in their decision." "Realistically, I think judgment is probably the most important factor in this case," he said. Sheriff Philip Povero spent weeks investigating, several times saying he did not have evidence to suggest Stewart meant to harm the other driver. Ward had spun while racing alongside Stewart and then the 20-year-old climbed out of his car and walked down the track, waving his arms in an apparent attempt
to confront the 43-yearold NASCAR veteran. Authorities said the first car to pass Ward had to swerve to miss hitting him. The front of Stewart's car appeared to clear Ward, but Ward was struck by the right rear tire and hurtled through the air. He died of blunt force trauma. The sheriff asked in the days after Ward's death for spectators to turn over photos and videos of the crash as investigators worked to reconstruct the accident. Stewart, who Povero described as "visibly shaken" after Ward's death, vowed to cooperate in the investigation but he did not testify before the grand jury. He issued a brief statement expressing deep sadness and then dropped off the radar, missing races at Watkins Glen, Michigan and Bristol before coming back for the Aug. 31 race at Atlanta. NASCAR spokesman Brett Jewkes said there were "no winners" in the accident and expressed support for Ward's family and Stewart. After Ward's death, NASCAR announced a rule that prohibits drivers from climbing out of a crashed or disabled vehicle — unless it is on fire — until safety personnel arrive. The series also cleared the way for Stewart to make its Chase for the Sprint Cup championship with a win, despite missing the three races.
