Genealogy 101

Workshop at Cherry Creek Inn on Finding ‘Lost’ Ancestors Now Accepting Registration By Daniel Meyer Star Contributing Writer

As the growing popularity in genealogy increases due to the website www.ancestory.com and television programs that focus on the skyrocketing interest in finding “lost” ancestors to help build family trees, a local event scheduled to take place next month will give participants an opportunity to “think” like a genealogist. “How To Think Like A Genealogist (And Get The Same Results)” will be offered on Thursday, Oct. 11 from 9 a.m. to noon at Cherry Creek Inn as the class will be offered for beginning to moderate levels of family historians who have an interest in using simple tools and techniques to identify family members from the past and help construct their family trees. According to Joanne Mansfield, a self-described “addicted family historian” who will serve as the instructor for the course, participants will likely be surprised at the results they find using simple “at home” skills, materials and a computer. “People laugh when I talk to them about my hobbies and what I like to do with my spare time because I tell them my husband spends money on golf, while I spend money on ancestry records,” said Mansfield. “I really enjoy it. I figured if I get this much pleasure out of it, why can’t others? I think it’s quite fun and extremely interesting.” There are an estimated 14 million users who access www.ancestry.

The introductory course will be take place in a facility with Internet access. A laptop computer or iPod will be helpful, but Mansfield says they are not necessary. Refreshments will be provided, along with time for sharing of genealogy tips and research assistance. “I’m going to show people little tricks and methods they might not have otherwise tried or even thought of,” The Cherry Creek Inn will host an event called “How to Think Like A said Mansfield. “We will all work Genealogist (And Get The Same Results)” on Oct. 11 at 9 a.m. together and learn about how to problem solve and find the informapaperwork so I want them to bring com and the television show “Who Do You Think You Are? on NBC has that to class and we will fully evaluate tion we are seeking.” been drawing incredibly high ratings, each item and see how we can use For more information, including showing that people are catching on it to find more information on their instructions on how to register, visit family,” said Mansfield. “This way to the family history wave and bewww.cherrycreekinn.net or call coming hits not only in our country we can organize their data and start Mansfield at 672-4445. building a plan on finding new inforbut around the globe. mation online.” According to Mansfield, workshop Mansfield believes the course will be participants will locate and identify informative and entertaining and is computer resources to utilize for hopeful that participants will come research purposes from their home computers and learn how to properly prepared to ask questions. organize and coordinate search strat- “It will be a very interactive class,” egies to successfully navigate online said Mansfield. “I am looking records.

Summer of Discontent

Fall officially started last Saturday, but residents and visitors around Chautauqua Lake will remember a summer filled with warnings of nuisance weeds, the search for invasive water chestnut, and algal blooms attributed to beach closings. Nuisance weeds and algae have been an on-going problem in Chautauqua Lake but the mild winter and the warm, dry summer months seemed to have created a perfect storm in 2012, making conditions increasingly troublesome to recreationists. The potential impact, however, goes beyond recreation and if left unchecked will lead to lower property values, reduced tourism, and an overall poorer quality of life.

“It is really going to take a change in behavior and how we go about living within the watershed, if we want to see improvements in water quality for Chautauqua Lake.” – Jeff Diers, Chautauqua County Watershed Coordinator.

Moreover, the familiar mechanical weed harvesters seen trolling areas of the Lake are considered by experts as more of a management rather

than control technique, providing only seasonal relief for a “sick” lake. The County and the Chautauqua Lake Management Commission (CLMC) are in the process of developing an in-lake management plan that will provide recommendations on how best address the nuisance weeds. Chautauqua County Watershed Coordinator Jeff Diers stated that Cedar Eden Environmental LLC., is contracted to develop a submerged aquatic vegetation management plan (SAVMP) for Chautauqua Lake, which will be completed in April 2013. Chautauqua Lake was plagued this summer by weeds, invasive species and algal blooms.

Rather than creating harmony in society, this ideological divide caused by “spreading the wealth” has seemed to cause a greater chasm.

Fire Prevention at the Safety Village By Scott Wise Star Copy Editor

October is Fire Prevention Month. To bring light to fire safety and awareness, we took some time to highlight an organization in Chautauqua County that goes above and beyond the call of duty. The Chautauqua Children’s Safety

Education Village (CCSEV) in Ashville has been in the works for over 15 years. After opening their doors two years ago, they’ve been providing memorable safety education to students from all over Chautauqua County. “We designed the curriculum based on some of the other villages we’ve visited,” said

One student learns to safely climb out of a window at the Chautauqua Children’s Safety Education Village in Ashville

Terri Kindberg, Director of the CCSEV. “We took what we knew would work and some ideas that we had to change it. We aligned the teaching with what the students learn in their school safety programs, and what we hope is being reinforced at home.” The CCSEV offers training in fire, traffic and bike safety. Classes are available for students from preschool through fourth grade, in addition to recently added education for high school students. “Each grade level is a little different than the year before,” said Kathy Abbate, who is a safety instructor at the village. “They build on each other. There’s a base foundation, and each year we build on what was done the year before.” For fire safety, the students stay inside the main building, a newly built state-of-art fire safety educational facility. Students begin their training in a classroom, with a cut out side-view of Sparky’s Hazard House. The Hazard House features the ‘Hazardous’ familyeach complete with their own safety mistake. A fire starts in a trash bin after the son plays with the matches- complete with (fake) smoke and allwhich you can imagine the students thoroughly enjoy. Once the fire begins the spread, Abbate instructs the students how to each family member must get out of the house and head for a ‘meeting

place.’ “Our meeting place is inside, but we make sure they know that their meeting place should be outside and a good distance from the house,” said Kindberg. “We can’t realistically take them outside in the wintertime. Then, they head to the ‘neighbor’s house’ to call 911.” “We actually play a 911 call for them,” said Abbate. “They hear me calling 911, and they hear the response from the operator. Then they hear the call from the 911 operator to the fire department.” After the training with the Hazardous family, it’s time for a more hands-on approach. Abbate takes the students into a kitchen, where a fake fire begins while she is making Macaroni and Cheese. Students must then practice what they’ve learned. “Where is the good air at?!” Abbate asks while ‘smoke’ pours off the stove. “On the ground!” Exclaim the twenty children, as they duck down. Abbate begins to guide them out of the kitchen and into the bedroom, where the escape ladder is waiting. They learn what exits to look for, and how to make more time to get out by blocking the door with a blanket. While there is another door to exit, the wired steel door is warm to the touch- telling students there’s fire on the other side. “That’s when we teach them how to climb out of the window,” said Abbate. “It’s not as easy as you think, but we go through it with each student so they understand how. We count them first- so if 20 come in, 20 have to come out.” After the student scale down the side of the ‘house,’ they head to the meeting place and wait for everyone else. “We make sure they know not to go back inside for pets, toys or siblings,” said Kindberg. “We tell them to let the firemen do that, because they have the proper safety equipment.” Occasionally, Abbate will don the fireman’s garb- to show the students there’s a real person hiding behind the equipment. “We want them to know it’s not a scary person or an alien under there.” She said. The CCSEV has plans in the future to begin to teach cours-

es to high school students as well, as more and more are becoming caregivers for their siblings after school hours. “They need to know how to get themselves, and their siblings out safely,” said Kindberg. Fundraise, Fundraise, Fundraise Going forward, Kindberg sees growth for the center, something she considers vital to the safety education of Chautauqua County Students. She is constantly in the midst of fund-raising, as the CCSEV is a non-profit program. “We’re always fundraising,” she said. “We apply for grants, and we have a lot of businesses

open to the community for the three weekends prior to Halloween. As in the past, there will be trick-or-treating on Oct. 30. In addition to fundraising, anyone in the community can sponsor a class to go. “With budget cuts, one of the first things to go is the field trip budget,” said Kindberg. “It costs around $250 for the class and transportation for a class to come here. People can sponsor a class of their choice, we’d love for every school to be able to come here.” For more information on the CCSEV, visit their website at www.ccsev.org or check them out on Facebook.

Marvin has the “Blackfin Wolf Herring,” and the puckered “Diamond Moonfish.” There’s the “Bluebanded Goby.” All of them fictitious species, named as if Charles Darwin had consulted Dr. Seuss for the naming. The most remarkable aspect of viewing Marvin’s fish sculptures is the way they are mounted, face out, a frontal perspective rarely experienced in real, underwater nature. Their dimension is not that of actual fish, although the proportion can be imagined to be that of a real fish, say a giant bluegill or an oversized steelhead. Both grimacing. Some of Marvin’s figures are eight inches wide, some as large as twenty inches tall. At first glance, the sculptural expressions seem comical, trivial, not an art form, like Halloween masks for trout. Marvin Bjurlin’s art form, however, is far from trivial. His inspiration is serious. “For many years I have been interested in the exotic forms found in marine life,” he illustrates, indicating the contour of one piece, “I find the particular way in which fish have evolved to adapt to

their watery existence to be compelling.” He sets the sculpture aside, “The enormous variety of forms provides a fertile source of sculptural exploration.” In other words, fish can look very funny when face-to-face. In the late 1960’s, Marvin Bjurlin graduated with a MFA at the University of Michigan, majoring in ceramics, with a minor in painting. Later, for nearly thirty-five years, he retained a Distinguished Professorship at SUNY, Fredonia, where he taught ceramics, drawing, and 2-D design. He is a member of the American Crafts Council and the current treasurer of the Chautauqua

Crafts Alliance, an association of county-wide artists and guilds people. He has been curator and art gallery director of Adams Art Gallery and Michael C. Arts Center respectively. All of that is the stuff of resumes; important stuff, but often just temporal. Marvin considered the time time-span of affiliations and accomplishments among his resume and remarked, “As you know, in my ceramic field, it takes about a million years for the elements to turn rock into clay. Then, potters come along and turn the clay into rock, making it last another million

years.” Or, the soils made for gardening. “Gardener” does not appear on his curriculum vita, at least not explicitly. “Marvin Gardens,” he jokes. Then, reﬂecting on his sculptures versus his garden,“I guess I alternate between clay and dirt.” The public is invited to visit the Bjurlin Studio where new work is always on display. His work can be seen and appointments to his studio can be seen at www.bjurlinceramics.com.

have not completed their work, but said that it could be 10 to 20 times more costly to remove sediments from the lake than preventing them from entering in the first place. “It is really going to take a change in behavior and how we go about living within the watershed, if we want to

see improvements in water quality for Chautauqua Lake.” Diers stated that Chautauqua Lake has been classified by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as an “impaired water body due to elevated phosphorous levels in the Lake.” Based on information from the Watershed Plan and various reports, he says about 20-25 percent of the total phosphorous loading entering the Lake is coming from the sewer treatment plants. “The State is currently in

the process of finalizing a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) document which when completed, will require sewer treatment plants and other point source dischargers, to reduced their loading of phosphorous by a significant amount.” According to Diers, the CLMC, as well as various stakeholder organizations are in the process of providing letters of support encouraging the NYSDEC to finalize the document, which, Diers says “is in the final approval stage.” Diers stated that in order for sewage treatment facilities to do this, they must upgrade their facilities to more efficiently remove nutrients, which will cost in the millions of dollars.

Members of the Chautauqua County Genealogical Society met recently for their monthly business meeting and program at the Barker Library in Fredonia. Guest speaker was Norman Carlson from Busti, who serves as the person in charge of collections at the Fenton Historical Society in Jamestown. Mr. Carlson said that he helps many people with their family and business genealogy, and discussed some of the artifacts which he uses to associate information with families. He said that many of the artifacts help people trace down their family members. One of the first is a collection of old wedding dresses. He said the historical society has more wedding dresses than any other garment. Using family photographs, and comparing the dress often give a date and name to people. People are always looking for family history he said. Other items in the historical society which are used in genealogical research are military items such as uniforms, bars, and pins. Diaries are a great source of research, along with packages of letters. To bring information to the public, many of their volunteers dress in period clothing and speak to local students about family history. Cemetery tours are very popular, and these include walking and horse

drawn wagon tours. Often times, family information is found in census reports and city directories. He concluded with saying that each week, an historical artifact is featured in a newspaper article. A round of applause was given to Mr.

Carlson for his discussion. George Davis is the president of the Chautauqua County Genealogical Society, which dates back nearly 35 years in this area. Visitors and new members are always welcome.

Soy and peanut we can prove). The primary lectins are among the most tenet of the Paleo diet is that notoriously allergenic. This is diets and health started slowly merely one of many reasons By Brooke Sheesley

the Paleo diet’s restrictions are what they are... so let’s take a look at what foods are and aren’t allowed... Some experts urge that a slightly less strict, slightly more modest form of the Paleo diet should be followed for optimum health. The most encouraged foods include lean meats (including game meat), eggs, fish, shellfish, fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds (but not peanuts). Alcohol (wine) is permitted in moderation, as is coffee. Dried fruits are considered Paleo “sweets” and should be very limited. The no-no list on the Paleo diet is what challenges people the most. You cannot eat any processed dairy- butter, cheese, milk, yogurt or ice cream. You cannot eat cereal grains, including anything made from corn, rice, wheat or barley. All beans, peanuts, soybean products and lentils are forbidden too. Did I mention no sugar? No soft drinks, fruit juices or honey either, These sound extreme, I know.

Again, this is the intended plan. If you deviate from these restrictions slightly, it does not mean you’ve failed. Here’s an example of a day’s meals on the Paleo diet: A coconut milk smoothie for breakfast; tuna salad wrapped in lettuce with almonds for lunch; grilled fish with butternut squash soup for dinner; and snack on pumpkin seeds and celery. There are several meal ideas online if you are considering the Paleo diet. Do your homework first, make sure with this diet, like all others, that you can still consume all of the food groups and stay hydrated, The Paleo diet is just trendy idea going around right now, and I have not tried it, But I know people that have lost weight on this plan over 3-6 weeks. It’s basis is simple, live like the cavemen and women did- eat what’s naturally occuring and hunt and gather (at your local store, farmers market or garden). And of course, get up and exercise every day. Make muscle from all the protein in the Paleo diet!

WOMEN’S SECTION YWCA Westﬁeld News By Katie Smith Contributing Writer

Boot Camp is Coming The YWCA is pleased to announce an 8 week Boot Camp Fitness Program will be offered beginning Oct. 13. The class, held in the YWCA gym, will be led by Jillann Lindstrom and run through Dec. 15. Classes begin at 9:15 a.m. and require preregistration and payment. In addition to the Boot Camp, Ms. Lindstrom is offering a Saturday morning Power Yoga Class, beginning at 8 a.m. Each class runs for an hour and Ms. Lindstrom indicates these are not beginner classes; each participant should have a moderate fitness level. More details and registration information is available by contacting the instructor at Moorefit2@ gmail.com.

Each entre coming from the kitchen is prepared solely by Bruce. “There are no line-cooks here. Just me,” he boasts. His menu is offered both carte du jour and that of time-honored experience. The reviews bring winning praises. He has culinary innovation: the cornedbeef hash is neither corned nor hash-like, it is slow roast beef with whole potatoes, onions, and peppers.

Oct. 2, at 7:30 p.m. as part of the Opera House Cinema Series. Reuniting with director Rob Reiner from the hit film, The Bucket List, Freeman plays Monte Wildhorn, a famous novelist whose struggle with alcoholism has sapped his passion for writing. He takes a lakeside cabin for the summer in picturesque Belle Isle, and befriends the family next door – an attractive

single mom (Virginia Madsen) and her young daughters – who help him find inspiration again. The film also stars Kenan Thompson, Fred Willard and Kevin Pollak with an original screenplay by Guy Thomas, Andrew Scheinman and Reiner. Frank Scheck, in the Hollywood Reporter, calls the film “shamelessly schmaltzy from first moment to last” and says it “nonetheless manages to

Ted Vigil Performs Music of John Denver at Opera House

Preformer Ted Vigil

Contributed Article 1891 Fredonia Opera House

You won’t believe your eyes – or your ears – when Ted Vigil takes the stage as the legendary John Denver. Vigil will perform the late singer’s music at the 1891 Fredonia Opera House on Friday, Sept. 28, at 8 p.m. Vigil has always had a love of music and the stage. The Seattle native began singing for audiences at an early age. He started in the church folk band at the age of 8 and continued singing in musical productions in high school. In 1990 he began writing, recording and performing his original compositions. In 2006, Vigil competed against performers from 28 states, New Zealand, Australia and Canada to win first place in “Talent Quest ‘06” in Laughlin, Nev. After his win, and after years of hearing how much he resembles the legendary Colorado musician, he began to plan a John Denver tribute show. He sang his way across the U.S. and in 2007 shared the stage with Keith Anderson, Jeff Bates and Kevin Sharp on the Royal Caribbean Cruise Line’s annual “Traveling Kountry Kruz.” That same year, he won a “Celebrity Look-Alike” contest in Seattle for looking like ... you guessed it, John Denver. Three years later, Vigil met Denver’s lead guitarist, Steve Weisberg. A bond was formed and the two began to tour together in a special tribute to the iconic pop star. In just a very short time, Vigil’s performance has developed into an act with national appeal, featured at casinos, show rooms, night clubs, fairs and festival across the U.S. Vigil certainly has found his

niche. The comment heard most often after his performance is “I can’t believe how much he looks and sounds like John Denver ... it really took me back.” Tickets to Vigil’s performance are $15 ($13 for Opera House members) and may be purchased in person at the Opera House Box Office or by phone at 716/679-1891, Tuesday through Friday, 1-5 p.m. They also may be purchased online any time at www.fredopera. org. The event is made possible, in part, with funds from

Francis took his very popular with his peers. hand, placed all of his money

in it and tenderly kissed it. It was through “Lady Poverty” that Francis found the joy of seeing God in everyone and everything. God could be found in adopting a life of poverty. Francis maintained the same lively and charming personality but his intentions and desires were redirected to living for and in God. Francis experienced the love of God in nature so profoundly that he lived in reverential rapport with the natural world. The larks would gather at his homilies and would fall silent

His mule shed tears and died shortly after Francis’s death. A poet at heart, Francis wrote beautiful pieces. The “Canticle of the Sun,” one of his most well known works, praises and thanks God for his creation of sun, moon, water, wind and fire. According to tradition, the first time the Canticle was sung was on Francis’ deathbed

pray for our elected officials. This scripture tells us that if we pray our part, God would make sure we lead a quiet and peaceful life. And part of that peaceful life is getting along with others! When you see yourself as an ambassador of Christ and His representative on the earth, you will be more likely to keep a cool head when it comes to the area of politics and religion. It’s never worth sacrificing a relationship over

an opinion…even when you think you’re right and you’re coming to “God’s defense.” Proverbs 15:1 tells us that, “A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. This is much easier to walk out when you are doing first things first and keeping things from God’s perspective. If you win an argument but lose a friendship…where is God’s will in that? So keep in prayer for your nation and keep focused on peace.

Keeping the Faith

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

Dear Pastor, elections seem to bring out the worst in me. How involved should Christians be in politics? There seems to be two things that can rile up folks quicker than anything else…politics and religion! With the November elections just a few weeks away, the media is getting hotter and the opinions are quickly catching up! This is a good time to evaluate your own position and behavior, especially towards those you

may disagree with. If we want to honor and please God in this area as in any area, then we need to look to the Bible as our authority for what God expects. Even in politics, God has something to say. In 1Timothy 2:1-4 we find out what our FIRST priority is when in comes to politics. It reads “I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; (2) For kings, and for

all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. (3) For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior; (4) Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.” This scripture says that an important part of our prayer life needs to be focused on those who govern as well as those in authority. Even before we pray for our family or ourselves it’s important to

The program will be held twice weekly from Noon to 1 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays in the Physical Therapy Department at Brooks Memorial Hospital. Participants are asked to wear sneakers and workout apparel. Cost is $11 per session and does not require a doctor’s referral. Those interested in enrolling in the program must be able to walk with or without an assistive device independently and be able to follow

For those seniors who are not appropriate for the Balance Clinic, there is always the option of obtaining a referral from their physician and being seen as a traditional outpatient. According to Ms. Kiszak, the impact of falls in the elderly can be costly. “A lot of people think that if you’re old, you’re going to fall but people don’t fall because they’re old. They fall because their balance system is not working properly which can be inﬂuenced by decreased motion, weakness, endurance and even pain.” For more information or to register, call the Physical Therapy Department at 716363-3092.

Haley Kulakowski, a 2012 graduate of Jamestown High School, is the latest recipient of the Alison Ney and Christa Stineman Memorial Scholarship. This scholarship is

awarded annually to a female Jamestown High School senior who is active in her school and/or community. Applicants must also recognize equality for women in the home as well as the work place and show a sincere concern for human rights.

Miss Kulakowski is attending Syracuse University with plans to major in International Relations. Pictured with Miss Kulakowski are Alison and Christa’s parents, Dr. Lillian Ney and Mr. and Mrs. Richard Stineman.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded Jamestown Community College nearly $900,000 over the next three years to support biotechnology training for high school teachers and JCC students through HURI SURI, a collaborative program to provide undergraduate research opportunities for JCC and area high school students. “Through this project, students at JCC will have exposure to biotechnology, a growing field with employment opportunities,” said Jose Herrera, program director at the National Science Foundation. “The project provides for connections with institutions in their state and region and opportunities to make a transition to a program at a four-year college.” HURI SURI complements a $3.5 million NSF grant received in 2011 by the biotechnology programs at JCC, Finger Lakes Community College, Tompkins-Cortland Community College, and Delaware Technical and Community College to support expanded research opportunities and disseminate undergraduate research nationwide to other community colleges. “JCC’s biotechnology program curriculum has included undergraduate research experiences nearly since its inception,” noted Jacqueline M. Crisman, principal investigator of the HURI SURI award and coordinator of JCC’s biotechnology program.

“Undergraduate research is a very effective way to teach science,” said Dr. Crisman, “and we have implemented it in our program because we, as well as the National Science Foundation and other science organizations, believe it is the most effective means to inspire our students to go into science.” “Our new grant was submitted to help area high schools get the training and equipment to teach the modern concepts of DNA technology in the context of research projects as well,” she added. The HURI SURI program provides area teachers with full support to attend biotechnology boot camps and undergraduate research experiences at JCC. After completion of this training, biotechnology equipment and supplies are available for high schools to integrate those experiences in their schools by offering an innovative new first semester biology course with researchbased labs. “Our biotechnology students don’t just learn about science,” said Ellen Lehning, associate professor of biology and co-principal investigator on the award. “They actually do science. Our students study the evolutionary relationship between mosquitoes, heartworms, bacteria, and viruses. And they do this research in collaboration with leading researchers from the University of Rochester in evolution and genetics, who will also participate in our biotech boot camps.”

JCC’s biotechnology students will also benefit in their second year of study. The grant will support summer research experiences at Penn State College of Medicine, Penn State University, University at Buffalo, University of Rochester, and St. Bonaventure University. “For me, this grant is about leveling the playing field for the economically disadvantaged in our area by providing cutting edge experiences in the sciences,” stressed Dr. Crisman. “For many of our students these types of opportunities were out of reach.” Graduates of JCC’s biotechnology degree program, which was launched in 2008, seamlessly transfer to fouryear institutions, many with aspirations to enter medical or graduate school. Some also seek immediate employment in a regional biotechnology enterprise. JCC has transfer agreements with biotechnology programs at the University at Buffalo, Rochester Institute of Technology, the State University of New York (SUNY) at Cobleskill, and SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry. Agreements with other institutions for biology and biochemistry programs have also been created to smooth the transfer process for JCC graduates. Details about JCC’s biotechnology degree or HURI SURI program can be obtained by calling either Dr. Crisman at 716.338.1373 or Dr. Lehning at 716. 338.1314.

Victory Media, the premier media entity for military personnel transitioning into civilian life, has named SUNY Fredonia to the coveted Military Friendly Schools ® list. The 2013 Military Friendly Schools ® list honors the top 15 percent of colleges, universities and trade schools in the country that are doing the most to embrace America’s military service members, veterans, and spouses as students and ensure their success on campus. The 1,739 colleges, universities and trade schools on this year’s list exhibit leading practices in the recruitment and retention of students with military experience. These schools have what is considered “worldclass programs and policies” for student support, academic accreditation, credit policies, ﬂexibility, and other services to those who served. State University of New York Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher today commended SUNY Fredonia and 32 other SUNY campuses on being recognized with the designation. “The SUNY system is a recognized leader in assisting military personnel in the transition to civilian life after their service to our country,” said Chancellor Zimpher. “As the largest system of public higher education in the

country, SUNY offers extensive educational and career opportunities in more than 7,500 degree and certificate programs in every community in New York State. We take great pride in the fact that so many of our returning service men and women turn to SUNY for their education, and thank G.I. Jobs Magazine for this recognition.” Complete survey methodology is available at www.militaryfriendlyschools.com/methodology. Now in its fourth year, the 2013 list of Military Friendly Schools ® was compiled through extensive research and a data-driven survey of more than 12,000 VAapproved schools nationwide.

In 2008, this annual golf tournament, formerly known as the DFT Communications Community Benefit Golf Tournament was renamed the Robert Maytum Memorial to honor Dr. Robert Maytum, Sr., for his many acts of kindness and support for the local community and the region. Robert Maytum, Sr., former Chairman of the Board of DFT Communications is remembered as a telecommunications pioneer and as a

community philanthropist. He actively supported higher education, and created a legacy of support at JCC with the establishment of two endowments. The tournament, which is in its 14th year, is hosted by DFT Communications and has raised over $200,000.00 in support of area not-for-profit organizations since its inception. In addition to Honorary Chairman Jerry Hall, committee members for this year’s tournament included: Mark Maytum, Kurt Maytum, Dave Pihl, Michael Moots, Larry Ludemann, Dave Bleck, Elizabeth Booth and Jennifer Pulver. Committee Chairs were Diane Genung and Dan Siracuse.

Q&A

Constant cleanup a parrot problem Q: Exactly how much effort do I need to put into caring for a parrot? I have always wanted one, but I know they’re very messy. Help me decide if I’m “parrot parent” material. — via email A: Yes, parrots are messy. Very, very messy. They seem to take particular pride in covering every surface, including walls and ceilings, with not only poop, but also food. There were times with my late parrot Eddie that I considered putting a shower enclosure in the corner of the room where his cage was to make it easier to wipe down the constant mess. Keeping mess to a minimum (and providing a safe, healthy home for your bird) requires a proactive approach. Every morning and evening you should replace soiled cage liners. Putting newspapers both above and below the grid at the bottom of the cage makes it easier to “clean as you go.” You can put a few layers at the base of the cage and remove layer by layer throughout the day whenever droppings appear. You should also change food bowls and water bowls (or bottles) twice a day. Some birds get feathers or even droppings in their bowls, and you need to constantly check for bowls that need cleaning. If you use a water bottle with your bird, check every morning to ensure that it’s not clogged by pressing the ball with your finger. (Birds can become seriously dehydrated very quickly.) Birds usually prefer to eat after dawn and near dusk, so these are great times to provide fresh fruits and vegetables — and remove the leftovers before you go to work or bed. Leftover food pellets should be discarded every morning. and replaced with fresh ones. Finish off your twice-daily routine by using your cleaning solution and paper towels, and use a handheld vacuum to clean up any other messes in the vicinity. And remember: Your dishwasher is a great tool for cleaning everything from perches to dishes to toys. While daily attention will keep things pretty clean, you’ll need to do a big scrub on a regular basis — walls, floors, cage and all its contents. Scrub well with soap and water, soak in a mild bleach solution, rinse and airdry before re-introducing your bird. — Gina Spadafori Do you have a pet question?

GREEN HOME, HAPPY CATS

Impact of pet loss keeps some pet-free

Give cats some plants of their own to keep others unmolested By Gina Spadafori Universal Uclick

n the spring and summer, it’s easy to enjoy greenery. It’s all around us, and if we don’t have any in our homes, we’re outside enough to see all we want. But when the days shorten, we start to crave our indoor gardens. Unfortunately, our cats do, too. But cats and houseplants don’t have to be an either-or proposition. To have both, all you need to do is give your cats some plants of their own and make the other houseplants less attractive. And don’t sweat the occasional chewed leaves or knockedover pot.

The loss of an animal companion was cited in a recent study as a reason for not having another pet.

• The lasting effects of pet loss may be underestimated, with a fifth of respondents in a recent poll saying they didn’t currently have a pet because the loss of their last one was too painful. The strong response came as a surprise to the American Humane Association, which polled 1,500 non-pet owners and past pet owners last February, asking why they did not currently own a dog or cat. Other respondents gave answers that were more anticipated, citing the time and expense of keeping a pet. • Complaints to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration that the number of pets sickened or killed by chicken jerky treats have topped 1,300, and the agency recently expanded its investigation after receiving additional reports of illness caused by Chinese treats made of yams or sweet potatoes. To date, there have been no recalls, and no indication of what the problem could be. • A multistate outbreak of salmonella linked to pet hedgehogs sickened more than a dozen people, half under the age of 10, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. No fatalities were reported. The outbreak is a good reminder that while small pets are popular for children, parents need to be sure that safe handling practices are followed, especially hand-washing after playing with pets and keeping the animals out of food-preparation areas. The CDC offers guidelines on children’s pets at cdc.gov/Features/HealthyPets. — Dr. Marty Becker and Gina Spadafori

Chautauqua County Humane Society Pet of the Week

Pet of the Week This week we are featuring “Okra”. She is a two-year-old pit bull mix. She can be a little shy at ﬁrst, but this sweet girl warms up fairly quickly. Okra loves people and is happiest when going for a walk then spending time getting petted. Her ideal home would be on the quiet side, without a lot of commotion. She tends to be more timid in new situations, so her new family will have to be patient with her until she feels comfortable. Once Okra gets to know you, she will be your best friend forever. Okra’s adoption fee is reduced thanks to a grant from the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation.

Two weeks ago, Fredonia was upended by Wilson and Southwestern lost to Olean. It was the first time since Sept. 22, 2006 that both programs lost on the same day. It also turned Class C around even more than the previous weekend’s shocker of Westfield over the Trojans. But, a week after Southwestern got back into the thick of things by defeating Salamanca, the two programs have equally as big games to show prove they haven’t got anywhere quite yet. Start with Southwestern who blew a 39-7 lead last Friday, only to beat Salamanca on a two-point conversion in overtime on the final play of the game. Perhaps it put the magic back in the Trojans’ pads, but they have just as big of a game this week with Allegany-Limestone.

why Jamestown is 4-1-1 through six games. Luc Gerdes scored his fifth goal of the year Friday night. He’s tied for third in the entire league in goals scored and is two off the lead held by Luc Boby from Kalamazoo. Gerdes has shown the potential of the type of player that Daikawa seems to like, a goal scorer who can hit. The 6-foot forward also has eight penalty minutes in six games, tied for the third on the team. The big pickup of Ross Pavek and Joe Mottiqua has paid off so far this year, too. Pavek appears to be the type of team leader on the ice that was sorely needed. He leads the team in shots (20), is second in points (5) and tied for third in penalty minutes (8). The best line of the weekend was Evan Ritt, Victor Johansson and Daniel Cesarz. Each player registered a +3 rating on Saturday with Ritt scoring twice and Cesarz scoring once. All picked up an assist. Defensively, the Ironmen have been fine. Daikawa appears to be going with Brett Szajner, Kenny Curtis, Mitch Hall, Aaron Scheppelman and Matt Lanzillotti, while rotating

Nationally Ranked Blue Devils Fall To Brockport Contributed Article

Fredonia State Sports Information

BROCKPORT, N.Y. — Fredonia State gave up goals early and often Saturday in a 5-1 SUNYAC women's soccer loss to Brockport. The Golden Eagles scored all five goals in the first half, including three by Fredonia native Vanessa Gillette, to improve to 7-0-1 overall and 2-0 in the SUNYAC. Maria Green scored on a penalty kick at 60:46 as the Blue Devils — ranked No. 22 nationally at the start of the week — fell to 6-2 overall and 1-1 in the conference. Gillette scored her goals at second, 26th, and 37th minute. The Golden Eagles are scored in the 13th and 34th minute. Friday, Catie Hale scored off her own corner kick early in the second overtime to lift No. 22 Fredonia State over Geneseo, 3-2. The Blue Devils improved to 6-1 overall and 1-0 in the conference. It was also their first win over Geneseo since 1994, and only the second win over over the Blue Knights. The Blue Devils are 2-23-3 in the all-time series, were 0-15-3 since 1995, and now 1-8-3 under head coach Chris Case. Hale accounted for all the Fredonia State scoring with her winning goal preceded by two assists. With her down trailing 1-0, she delivered a corner kick to Reilly Condidorio for the first Blue Devil goal at 60:57. Next it was a Hale corner kick resulting in a goal by Shannon Letina at 68:13. Geneseo's Olivia Panepinto scored the game-tying goal at 88:09. Amanda Grey had the earlier goal by the Blue Knights. Hale's game-winner came at 101:30.

No surprise, one of the wildest games in some time involved the Southwestern Trojans. Perhaps to surprise, either, they won the game. In a must-win situation to keep their division championship hopes alive, Southwestern (2-2, 2-1 C South) defeated previously unbeaten Salamanca 47-46 in overtime as Trojans head coach Jay Sirianni went for two with his team trailing by one point. Convert it and you win. Miss it and you lose. Quarterback Jake Pilling — who had a monstrous day — found Hunter Peterson wide open in the end zone for the two point conversion and the win. Of course, Southwestern led 39-7 near the end of the first half before Salamanca staged one of the biggest comebacks of all time. Warriors quarterback Tanner John — who had six touchdowns on the day — ran for three second half touchdowns to tie the game and threw a 20-yard pass to Andy Crandall to give Salamanca a remarkable lead in overtime. That stood until Pilling tossed a 21-yard touchdown to Andy Greenlee, setting up the dramatic final play of the game. That turned C South upside down perhaps even more. There’s now a four-way tie atop the standings that includes Westfield, who bounced back with an 18-6 win over Falconer (1-3, 0-3 C South). The Wolverines (2-2, 2-1 C South) had lost to Sherman the week after beating Southwestern. Wesfield, Southwestern and Salamanca are all tied with Allegany-Limestone, who currently holds the tiebreaker due to point differential. Cassadaga Valley (2-2, 1-2 C South) sits a game behind those four teams (also a game behind for the final playoff spot) after they lost to Allegany-Limestone 27-6. The Cougars lost running back Jordan Boughton early to an injury and he did not return. Boughton is a key part to Cassadaga’s option offense. In C North, Fredonia (3-1,

2-1 C North) rebounded from their first loss of the season by defeating Gowanda 56-8 and they did it without star running back/linebacker Zach Buckley. That was thanks to junior Weston Ley threw for 98 yards and ran for 225 and combined for five total touchdowns to lead the Hillbillies in the blowout win. Cody Smith had a defensive touchdown and had eight tackles. Nick Nocek had 12. Up in AA, Jamestown (4-0, 2-0 AA South) had little problems with West Seneca West, the virtual new kids on the AA block. West had upset Frontier and Lancaster in their first two games to land the Indians among the frontrunners in South race. But, Jamestown won easily, 42-8 behind Da’Quan Hollingsworth and Cortland Haines. Hollingsworth scored the first three touchdowns of the game and two Jacob Sisson touchdowns had Jamestown up 35-0 at halftime. The big showdown in Class D went the way of Maple Grove (4-0, 4-0 D), as it usually does. The Red Dragons, the top ranked team in the state, completely shut down the high-powered Chautauqua Lake offense and won 21-0. The Thunderbirds (3-1, 3-1 D) defense kept them in the ball game, but Maple Grove’s massive line wore them down and scored two fourth quarter touchdowns to put the game away. Derek Johnson ran for two scores and Oliver Simpson had one. Also in Class D, Frewsburg (31, 3-1 D) erased a 20-0 deficit to Catt/Little Valley to win 22-20. Nick Munella — who already had two touchdowns on the day — engineered a late drive and Nick Fardink plunged in from one yard out on fourth down to tie the game up. Robbie Stearns ran in the two-point conversion for the win. Silver Creek (1-3, 1-3 D) lost to Portville 37-14. Nick Iskra threw for 230 yards. In Class B, Dunkirk (2-2, 2-2 B South) trailed 27-7 before crawling all the way back to within six. But undefeated Eden prevailed 35-21.

ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. — The St. Bonaventure men's soccer team (1-8) scored twice but could not hold off the Purple Eagles of Niagara (6-0-3) who would net three to down the Bonnies Sunday afternoon. The Bonnies controlled the pace early putting pressure on the Niagara defense from the get go. Sophomore Kaine Moar had a good chance in

the 8th minute that Niagara goalie Brett Petricek saved. Brad Vanino and James Reed would add shots as well just two minutes apart until Vanino settled a rebound from a Niagara defender and blasted home his first goal of the season from well outside the box past the diving Petricek in the 13th minute. The 1-0 lead would last just shy of one minute. Niagara's Callum Willmott received a pass from Bryan Da Cruz and beat SBU goalie Abel Bautista,

making just the third start of his career, for his fifth goal of the season. The Bonnies and Purple Eagles would trade shots for four more minutes, but it was SBU who would break through and score their second goal of the day in the 18th minute. Junior Emmett O'Connor gathered another rebound and blasted home his first goal of the 2012 campaign giving the Bonnies their first multi-goal game since Sept. 21, 2011 against Cleveland State.

The score would remain 2-1 for the next 26 minutes. In the 45th minute, Niagara midfielder Mike Cunningham, younger brother of former SBU women's soccer player Anna Cunningham, finished off his first goal of the season near the goal mouth to tie the score just before halftime. At the half, the Bonnies had outshot Niagara 9-4 and committed four fewer fouls, 2-6. It would also mark the fifth time this season that the Bonnies took a tie score into the half.

SBU controlled the pace in the second half as well. They would out shoot the Purple Eagles 8-2. The Bonnies' best chance came when Brad Vanino found an opening in the 54th minute and fired a shot that was saved. St. Bonaventure would find a few more chances to no avail. In the 84th minute following a Niagara yellow card, Bryan Da Cruz broke free and beat Bautista to give the Purple Eagles a late 3-2 lead. The Bonnies attempted six

corner kicks in the second half, four came in the final 1:08 of the second half as Vanino and Reed attempted to produce scoring chances from the corners but the Niagara defense was up to the challenge leaving the Bonnies without so much as a shot. The final score would hold 3-2. The Bonnies will be at home again in their only game next weekend. SBU will take on Siena at McGraw-Jennings field at 4 p.m.

Upcoming Stretch To Determine Playoff Fate

Chris Winkler COMMENTARY

Try as you may, football Gods, but it’s going to take some more misfortune to discount the Buffalo Bills as a possible playoff contender. Sure it’s only Week 4 and Buffalo is only two weeks removed from what some considered to be a morethan-telling season opening loss, but Buffalo’s 24-14 road win over Cleveland after the team lost its MVP-to-date in C.J. Spiller showed some moxie that this organization has long been missing. Yes, it was the winless Browns. Yes, I almost wrote this Bills team off two weeks ago. But the important word there is almost. The strides this team had made since the 48-28 debacle in the Meadowlands is much more evident than simply the 2-0 record. The supposed-vaunted defensive line is finally starting to show up. The young cornerback duo is making strides. And, the Bills are staving off injuries that previously looked like a death sentence. After all, the Bills didn’t just suffer injuries to key offensive playmakers in Fred Jackson and David Nelson in the opener. They also had the look of a team who had no chance of avoiding the division basement for the fifth straight year. It can be easy to overreact to events in professional sports from an outsider’s perspective, but there simply weren’t any signs of a contender — or competence — when the Bills took the field against the Jets. Now that’s changed, and while it’s much too premature to think Buffalo is capable of what we all thought of in the preseason, they are certainly playing quality football to keep the thought in the back of your mind. Part of that is because what I mentioned earlier. But more of it is because of how this team has come out and played since the opener when so many things went wrong. How many Bills teams have crumbled at the first sight of adversity over the past decade? Try all of them with perhaps the lone exception in 2010, which kept battling week-in and week-out after starting 0-8. And there was plenty of ost adversity after Week 1. Start 7-6. with Spiller, who has more than taken over the backfield duties from the injured Jackst son. Spiller’s only been the ley most explosive player in the league through three weeks 31 and is an entirely way-tooad early MVP in the making. o re-Still, though, the only thing wn. that’s stopped him so far was a shoulder injury midway through the Cleveland game after he scored a touchdown half, in his sixth straight game. of The injury had Bills fans nd everywhere on the verge of tears — or laughter, who or- knows — at the incredible e run of bad luck that never ving seems to leave Buffalo like ch the winter months. But, the injury might not be as bad as once thought, and still me the Bills were able to move ext on without him and win a

game. Just how they plugged Spiller in for Jackson, Tashard Choice filled in remarkably for Spiller. Not to be mistaken, Choice does not have the gamechanging abilities that the other two bring to the table, but since when does 20 carries for 91 yards not make us bat an eyelash? Plus, there’s reason to believe Jackson could be back in the fold sooner rather than later, and Spiller could be back in a couple of weeks. You can blame the injuries on bad luck, but you can’t credit the depth to dumb luck. General manager Buddy Nix and head coach Chan Gailey continue to find guys who can play in their system offensively and that’s something I haven’t witnessed in my lifetime as a Bills fan. Plus, that defensive line, that secondary, that punt coverage — heck, you name it — has also responded to getting torched against the Jets. Again, I’m not going to sit here and tell you wins over Kansas City and Cleveland means you should pack your bags for New Orleans and the Mercedes-Benz Superdome for Super Bowl XLVII, but it’s a start. I’m just saying this team could have packed their own bags after a Week 1 debacle. Or after the Browns spun the momentum after the Spiller injury and had closed to 1714. They didn’t and it’s good practice for what lays ahead. The Bills begin a six-game, seven-week stretch that will likely determine whether or not they end this playoff drought. No, it’s not a copout. I realize six games are almost half of an entire season and any six-game stretch will determine a team’s playoff fate. But, as I’ve said for pretty much the last two months, with their last seven games coming mostly at home and against losing teams, they’ll be able to pad their win total late. For now, they need to stay alive. And it starts with 1-2 New England this week at home. The Patriots have lost their last two and haven’t lost three in a row since 2002. Until last week, they hadn’t even been under .500 since 2003. Seriously, let that sink in. And oh yeah, the Bills rarely beat the Patriots over the past decade in case you have forgotten. Then road games with 2-1 San Francisco and the upstart 3-0 Arizona Cardinals. Two more road games with New England and another undefeated team in Houston end the stretch after the bye week in Week 8. In the stretch, Week 7’s game against Tennessee is against the only team that won’t contend for the playoffs and even that isn’t a certainty. So while I’m still too afraid to go out on a limb with this team, don’t let this run of tough games determine your thoughts on this squad. I’ll tell you this, the next six weeks might not be pretty when you look at the standings, but we’ll truly find out what kind of team this is after the next few weeks. Wins will be hard to come by, but I can promise if Buffalo manages to split these six and sit at 5-4 heading into Week 11, the playoff drought will absolutely come to an end in 2012. For now, it’s the Pats and seeing how this team responds to not having Spiller.

Hugh Bedient Centennial Banquet Announced

Contributed Article Chautauqua Sports HOF

The Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame has planned a Hugh Bedient Centennial Banquet for Saturday, Oct. 20, at the Robert H. Jackson Center in Jamestown. The banquet will honor Bedient, a Falconer native, who as a rookie pitcher for the 1912 Boston Red Sox compiled a sterling 20-9 record while leading his team to the World Series title. In the Series, Bedient was magnificent pitching 18 innings in 4 games with an ERA 0.50 for the champion Red Sox. The Hugh Bedient Centennial Banquet will closely replicate a similar banquet that was held 100 years ago. Bedient was welcomed back to his hometown with a parade witnessed by over 25,000 proud Chautauqua County residents and was feted with a reception and banquet on Oct. 22, 1912. The event was held at the Odd Fellows Lodge on Main Street in Falconer. The featured speaker at the Hugh Bedient Centennial Banquet will be Dick Berardino, a player development consultant for the Boston Red Sox. Berardino was a coach for the Jamestown Falcons

A highlight of the Hugh Bedient Centennial Banquet will be the presentation of the Society for American Baseball Research 1912 American League Rookie of the Year Award to the grandchildren

of Bedient. Emcee for the event will be baseball historian Greg Peterson who will present a video he has made about Hugh Bedient. Dinner will be provided by Vicki McGraw of Elegant Edibles Catering who is planning a similar menu to that of the original 1912 banquet. A cocktail hour hosted by the Hugh Bedient Celebration Committee will begin at 6

Old Dominion QB Continues Record Shattering Performances

Snedeker Pulls Away To Win FedEx Cup By Doug Ferguson Associated Press

to his record eight-shot win at the PGA Championship. He still is virtually a lock to be voted PGA Tour player of the year, but he had to settle for second place — and a $3 million bonus — in the FedEx Cup. And so ends the most successful year yet in the FedEx Cup — four wildly entertaining playoff events packed with the biggest names, even if the No. 1 player in the world wound up at No. 2. “I'm a little disappointed, but at the same time, Brandt really deserves to win,” McIlroy said. “He played the best golf out of anyone. He knew what he needed to do. He needed to come in here and win. He controlled his own destiny, just like I did. And he was able to come and do that. So because of that, he really deserves it.” How can Snedeker explain winning the FedEx Cup over a player who won twice during the playoffs? “Life is all about timing,” he said, grinning. Snedeker, who finished on 10-under 270, won for the fourth time in his career and moved into the top 10 in the world for the first time. It also was his first time winning with a share of the lead going into the last day. In his previous three wins, he came

HOME SUCCESS continued from pg 5 the final spot. In net, Mimmack and Shaughnessy have split the six games so far. It’s a gameplan that Daikawa hinted at using this year and is one they didn’t use at all last year with Joey Ballmer. Mimmack has had the edge so far. He’s 3-0 with a .929 save percentage and 2.00 goals against average. Shaughnessy is 1-1-1 with a .904 save percentage and 2.3 goals against. Mimmack was likely the No. 1 guy anyhow, but Jamestown doesn’t play three games in a weekend until January. Until then, it will likely be split duties unless one gets really hot. Jamestown travels through Ontario to play the Soo Eagles, formerly known as the Traverse City North Stars, for two games this weekend. It’s a somewhat of a known opponent and a team Jamestown had some success with last year, but the team is much different than last year’s team in Traverse City.

2012 CHASE CONTENDERS Points standings following Sunday’s Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway

1. Jimmie Johnson 2,096 (finished second) The five-time champion took the points lead after one week and said his team was “best in class” behind Denny Hamlin’s. And he pointed out that he’s off to a strong Chase start. “To only leave seven points on the table in two races is pretty good,” he said. 2. Brad Keselowski -1 (finished sixth) He remains in championship form a week after winning the Chase opener. “We’d like to be just a little bit faster than where we were [at New Hampshire], but this is what a championship team does,” he said. “They take weekends where they’re not the best and they make something out of it.” 3. Denny Hamlin -7 (finished first) He overcame a mistake in qualifying in which his team used the wrong air pressures and drove to the front from the 32nd starting spot to lead 193 laps. “I know we made a couple of big mistakes in the last two weeks, but I said we were fast enough to make it up and we were,” he said. “I’m going to have these guys’ backs until they die on me. This is my team.”

The 2012 Chase contenders (top row from left): Jeff Gordon, Brad Keselowski, Denny Hamlin, Martin Truex Jr., Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jimmie Johnson; (bottom row from left): Tony Stewart, Greg Biffle, Kevin Harvick, Kasey Kahne, Clint Bowyer and Matt Kenseth. (NASCAR photo)

Athletic drive Strategies vary for keeping in top racing form

t’s a debate as old as the sport itself: Are NASCAR drivers really athletes? Of course it’s usually those with no firsthand knowledge of the sport who ask that question. Those who have been around it know otherwise. In the early days, NASCAR’s athlete drivers generally stayed in shape for driving race cars by driving race cars. But in today’s world, most of the top drivers have personal trainers, strict workout routines and well-planned diets. Still, there are a few throwbacks, like three-time and defending Sprint Cup champion Tony Stewart, who still considers himself an athlete despite his old-fashioned approach to fitness. “I definitely think race drivers are athletes,” he said. “We’re not necessarily running, jumping or trying to knock people over, but we’re wrestling with a 3,400-pound car, with a firesuit, helmet and gloves on, and you’re sitting in a hot area for three and a half or four hours.” And he’s won 47 Sprint Cup races, in some of the toughest conditions, by preparing for driving a race car by driving not only his Sprint Cup cars, but winged sprint cars, dirt Late Models and various other short-track vehicles. “To this day I don’t like working out,” he said. “I know there are benefits to it. I don’t mind being out on my property and working, but I’m not big on sitting in a gym. I probably work out less than anybody in this garage area, but I race two or three times more than most of these guys do, too. That’s what keeps you race-fit and gets you in the

best shape.” His Stewart-Haas Racing teammate Ryan Newman takes a similar approach, staying in shape by building fences and baling hay on his North Carolina farm. But there are plenty of others who spend hours in the gym and eat special foods to maximize their performance behind the wheel. Jimmie Johnson and his Hendrick Motorsports teammate Kasey Kahne participated in a triathlon in Charleston, S.C., just hours after racing at Daytona in July. The event consisted of a 600-yard swim,12mile bike ride and 3.1-mile run. Kahne finished fourth in his age group, while Johnson was seventh in his. Johnson has often spoken of his fondness for ice cream, but his physique indicates that he rarely indulges. Instead, he’s into more healthy foods. “Breakfast burritos in the morning, that’s a pretty regular deal for me,” he said. “Then it’s really just chicken, fish, a bunch of steamed vegetables throughout the day. Good carbs from brown rice to sweet potatoes, things like that. “I’ve been pretty focused on the diet side lately. “If I’m home and in control, that’s kind of the lineup. But on the road, it changes dramatically.” He said that when he can, he tries to eat a small meal every three hours. “If I’m on the run, a power bar,” he said. “Gatorade has these good bars to eat as well. Just focusing on lean protein five, six times throughout the day.”

Before and during races, Johnson and his fellow drivers focus on hydration as much as anything. Johnson’s crew packs 80 ounces of Gatorade into his in-car drinking system for each race, and he usually consumes it all in addition to three or four bottles of water he takes on during pit stops. Danica Patrick said she tries to eat healthy all the time and work out, too. “It makes me feel better as well as makes it easier to do photo shoots and look the way I want to look,” she said. “I work out a lot because I need to obviously stay fit and have endurance for the car. “For all those reasons, I eat egg whites and oatmeal, salads, sandwiches with good bread and things like that.” At the track, she eats salmon, brown rice, grilled peppers and grilled onions for dinner the first night. Then it’s chicken the next night, plus yogurt and cottage cheese during the day. “Inside of the car I have a drink mix that I put in my camelback that is a blend of carbohydrate and protein that is recommended by my trainer,” she said. Carl Edwards, whose workout routine and general fitness helped land him a spot on the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition, isn’t keen on revealing the specifics of his diet or his pre-race preparation, but he does say that he puts a lot of emphasis on it. “I’m not going to tell you what I do, but I do prepare for it,” he said. “I feel at the end of these races that I usually feel like I could start the race again and go run.”

4. Tony Stewart -10 (finished seventh) The defending series champion charged from 10th to seventh in the final 22 laps, but said that’s not enough to win another title. “It might’ve been a solid result, but we need to be better than that,” he said. 5. Kasey Kahne -15 (finished fifth) He’s off to a steady, but not spectacular, start to the Chase after getting in through one of the two wild card spots. “Hopefully, we can keep it going and get a little faster,” he said. 6. Clint Bowyer -15 (finished fourth) He was encouraged by another solid run in the Chase. “We’re still in the thing, just got to keep these solid finishes coming,” he said. “Really proud of our race team.” 7. Dale Earnhardt Jr. -26 (finished 13th) He improved by one position from his starting spot, but that’s not enough to make a serious run to the title when all of the top seven finishers were Chase drivers. 8. Kevin Harvick -31 (finished 11th) His finish at New Hampshire was right in line for this season. He’s finished 11th four times and has an average finish of 11.9 for the year. 9. Greg Biffle -33 (finished 18th) The points leader at the end of the regular season dropped another spot in the standings. “We got up to 10th and then just went straight backwards,” he said. “I don’t know what happened.” 10. Martin Truex Jr. -34 (finished 17th) After a lackluster run at New Hampshire, he heads to Dover, where he got his first Cup pole and only Cup win in 2007. 11. Matt Kenseth -35 (finished 14th) He was the highest finishing Ford driver on a day in which the Fusions all lacked speed. “We got everything we could get out of our car,” he said. “It wasn’t much better than that.” 12. Jeff Gordon -45 (finished third) A strong run wasn’t enough to get him out of the points hole that a stuck throttle at Chicagoland Speedway put him in. “It’s such a shame what happened to us in Chicago last weekend because I think we would have back-toback top-fives,” he said.

NOTEBOOK

SPEAKING

Eury Jr. departed over change Dale Earnhardt Jr. told reporters at New Hampshire Motor Speedway last week that the main issue that led to the departure of his cousin Tony Eury Jr. from JR Motorsports centered around the team’s interaction with Hendrick Motorsports. Rick Hendrick owns the company, which employs Earnhardt Jr. as driver, and he’s a part owner of JR Motorsports along with Earnhardt and his sister Kelley. Eury Jr. was an owner, too, as well as crew chief before being replaced by Ryan Pemberton. “For us to get better, we’ve had to maximize our relationship with Hendrick [Motorsports],” he said. “Those resources are there at our fingertips. The companies that we compete against have those resources. The companies we want to beat, and are running up front in the series, have those kinds of resources. We needed to improve on that. That was becoming clearer, and clearer as we ran the last couple of years that we needed to improve that relationship. “That was really why we decided to make the move of Ryan [Pemberton] ... because there is a great relationship between Ryan and my crew chief [Steve Letarte] and Hendrick as well.” He said Eury Jr. disagreed with that direction for the company to take. JR Motorsports hasn’t won a race since 2010, when Jamie McMurray won at Atlanta.

(NASCAR photo) races remaining in the battle for the series championship. Dillon’s second victory of the season – and second at Kentucky – came in a race in which Sadler and the previous points leader, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., both had issues that took them out of contention for the win. Stenhouse’s fall to 17th at the finish was due to a pit-road collision with Eric McClure, while Sadler appeared poised to win before steering problems relegated him to a sixth-place finish. Still, Sadler reclaimed the points lead and has a one-point margin heading into this weekend’s race at Dover International Speedway. In the Camping World Truck Series, Austin Dillon’s younger brother Ty Dillon clings to a fourpoint lead in the standings, while James Buescher moved into second place with his win on Friday at Kentucky. Dillon finished third, while Timothy

Peters gave up the second spot in the standings after a crash left him with a 21st-place finish.

Jeff Gordon nixes mustache Jeff Gordon brought back his ’stache after he raced his way into the Chase for the Sprint Cup. But a week later, after a crash in the Chase opener at Chicagoland left him in the points cellar, the whiskers are gone. “I just changed my mind,” he said. “It’s not that we’re out of it by any means, we know we have a lot of work to do, but we can certainly win this thing. I guess the other thing was that I went in the other weekend saying, ‘Okay, the only way I’m not going to look ridiculous is if we’re out there winning.’ Obviously, we didn’t do that at Chicago. “It wasn’t hard to take it off, I can promise you that.”

ANNAPOLIS, Md. — St. Bonaventure women's tennis player Riley Archer wrapped up Navy's Bill & Sandra Moore Invitational by winning the Flight D Consolation singles championship on Sunday. Archer topped Navy's Kristy Yau 8-5 in the final at the Tose Family Tennis Center at the Brigade Sports

Complex. After falling in the first round of championship flight action, the Bonnies' senior rebounded in the consolation bracket with an 8-1 victory over Manhattan's Ava Leischen and an 8-3 triumph over Leischen's teammate, Ava Maffei, on Saturday to advance to the title match. Archer's three victories in St. Bonaventure's season-opening tournament are already one more than she collected all of last year as a junior.

Marissa Brossard was the lone Bonnies' player to pick up a victory in championship flight action at the three-day, 10-team tournament. The sophomore topped Towson's Nani Lizana 8-4 in Flight A first round action on Saturday only to fall to Howard's Katelyn Stokes 6-0, 6-2 in a quarterfinal match. Also on Saturday, St. Bonaventure's Fatya Amiri, Kathryn Kvas and Taylor Cole each picked up conso-

NHL Announces Cancellation Of Games Through Sept. 30 Contributed Article Buﬀalo Sabres

BUFFALO, N.Y. — The National Hockey League announced today the cancellation of the 2012 preseason schedule through Sept. 30. The cancellation of the schedule was necessary because of the absence of a Collective Bargaining Agreement between the NHL Players’ Association and the NHL. As a result, the following Buffalo Sabres games have been cancelled: Wednesday, Sept. 26 against the Bruins and Friday, Sept. 28 against the Maple Leafs. The Sabres will continue to maintain contact with all season ticket holders and mini pack holders regarding the work stoppage and ticket refunds due to missed games. As previously communicated, the Sabres will offer the following options to our season ticket holders and mini pack holders who have purchased tickets for the 2012-13 season: Option 1: At the end of

each month, the Sabres will refund any games that are cancelled by the NHL. For example, on Oct. 1, the Sabres will refund all preseason games that were cancelled by the NHL in the month of September. The refund process will be communicated to our season-ticket holders and mini pack ticket-holders (via email and/or mail) if and when games have been cancelled by the NHL. Option 2: The Sabres will offer season-ticket holders and mini pack ticket-holders 4% simple interest per annum on the value of the games that are cancelled by the NHL. Ticket holders will be able to choose which option they would prefer. A comprehensive information guide regarding the NHL work stoppage and the Sabres’ ticket refund policy is available at Sabres.com and will be communicated to all ticket-holders through email and mail. For more information on the work stoppage and continuing negotiations, visit NHL.com.

LAYOFFS continued from pg 4 and single-game ticket packages on Tuesday, including ones for the team's planned opener against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Oct. 13. “As a most passionate Florida Panthers fan, I understand how difficult a time this is for all Cats fans and other hockey fans around the NHL,” Pan-

thers owner Cliff Viner wrote in a blog entry on Sunday. “While we remain optimistic that our Panthers will open the 2012-13 season as planned on Oct. 13, I also want to assure you that the work stoppage will not deter our organization from fulfilling its responsibilities to our fans and our community.”

Daly Hopes NHL Labor Talks Will Resume This Week Contributed Article Associated Press

TORONTO (AP) — A faceto-face meeting between top officials from the NHL and NHL Players' Association wasn't enough to break their labor stalemate. The sides spent almost five hours together on Monday going over accounting for last season, but didn't emerge with any plan to resume negotiations on a new collective bargaining agreement to end the lockout. The topic wasn't even raised, according to representatives from each group. Nine days into the lockout, negotiations remain on hold with owners and players entrenched in their positions. “Obviously, we've got to talk before you can get a deal, so I think it's important to get the talks going again,” NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said. “But you also have to have something to say. I think it's fair to say we feel like we need to hear from the players' association in a meaningful way because I don't think that they've really moved off their initial proposal, which was made more than a month ago.” Steve Fehr, the NHLPA's special counsel, declined comment following the meeting. NHLPA head Donald Fehr and commissioner Gary Bettman didn't attend the meet-

ing, but they were expected to see each other at an NHL alumni dinner on Monday night. Daly suggested they might discuss a timeline then for resuming talks. The sides last sat down together on Sept. 12, when the union presented a proposal that was quickly countered by the league. Neither offer moved talks closer to an agreement, and the NHL locked out the players three days later. Not only are the sides far apart on financial issues — they are roughly $1 billion apart based on the latest proposals — but they have also failed to find agreement on the process. While the league has remained adamant about the need for the sides to discuss only the economic system that governs the sport, the union has said it would be willing to continue negotiations on the other aspects of the agreement that need to be worked out. In the meantime, players have

started predicting it will be another prolonged lockout. New York Rangers forward Rick Nash told a Swiss reporter last week that the work stoppage could last an entire year, and Detroit Red Wings forward Danny Cleary repeated that sentiment after an informal skate on Monday. “Just trying to be realistic,” Cleary told the Detroit Free Press. “I think the league is waiting for us to make the move, and we're waiting for them to move. So someone has to move. And I don't see it coming from our end. “We've given them a couple of good options that they can work with, and they, obviously, feel it's not good enough.” Daly isn't willing to entertain the notion that another season could be lost as was the case when a lockout caused the cancellation of the entire 2004-05 campaign. The NHL has already called off all preseason games in

September, but Daly said he is hopeful an agreement can be reached in time to start the regular season as scheduled on Oct. 11. “I'm hoping that some of (the players') pessimism is almost an intentional pessimism because certainly that's not where our mindset is,” Daly said. “We don't want an extended work stoppage, we don't want to miss any regular-season games. That's going to be our mindset until we have to cancel some.” There was one piece of good news for the players Monday. Daly indicated they will likely end up receiving almost all of the 8.5 percent in salary that was held back from them last season in escrow — guaranteeing at least one decent payday next month. They are due to receive the first of 13 pay checks for the upcoming season on Oct. 15, but that appears less and less likely with each day that passes without meaningful negotiations. Still, Daly believes the sides are “light years” ahead of where they found themselves in 2004, when three months went by after the beginning of the lockout before talks started. “We've been talking within the same framework, we've had a lot of discussions about a lot of ground in a lot of the other areas we need to,” he said. “But obviously we still have a financial divide we have to find out how to bridge.”

Ehrhoff To Play In Native Germany

Contributed Article Associated Press

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Sabres defenseman Christian Ehrhoff will be spending the NHL lockout playing in his native Germany. Ehrhoff reached an agreement on Tuesday to play for his hometown team, the Krefeld Penguins, and was then introduced during a news conference. The deal was reached after the German Ice Hockey League team agreed to pay about $26,000 a month to insure the player in the event of injury. ''I really wanted to come to Krefeld because I was here during the summer and I felt at home,'' Ehrhoff said in German and translated into English. ''The club is in my heart.'' He spent part of the summer working out with Krefeld before returning to Buffalo in the event a looming labor dispute wouldn't disrupt the start of training camp, which was

scheduled to open this week. Ehrhoff then traveled back to Germany after the NHL locked out its players on Sunday. ''It's the ideal situation for the team and me,'' Ehrhoff said. ''The guys know me, I know the guys.'' Ehrhoff was traded twice in the span of two days in June 2011 before he elected to forgo testing free agency by

signing a $10-year, $40 million contract with the Sabres. Buffalo had acquired him in a trade with the Islanders, a day after New York landed Ehrhoff in a trade with Vancouver in hopes to sign the defenseman. Ehrhoff was the Sabres' most dependable defenseman last season. He led Buffalo blueliners with 32 points (five goals) in 66 games, and led

the entire team in averaging 23:03 ice-time per game. The player's agent, Richard Curran, said his client elected to play in Germany as an opportunity to stay in shape. Ehrhoff isn't under contract with Krefeld, and will be eligible to return to play for the Sabres once the labor dispute is resolved. The only condition to play in Germany was for the club to pay for Ehrhoff 's insurance, Curran said. ''He's hoping to turn a negative into a positive,'' Curran said. Ehrhoff is expected to make his debut with Krefeld on Friday, when the Penguins play Hamburg. ''We always hoped that he would come back to Krefeld someday,'' the team's chairman Wolfgang Schulz said. ''We didn't think it would happen so quickly. He could have played in Russia, Sweden or Finland. It makes us proud that he chose us.''

NAHL SHOWCASE continued from pg 5 rectly into the NAHL pipeline is the Air Force Academy Falcons of the Atlantic Hockey Association (AHA). This past season, head coach Frank Serratore had 19 NAHL alumni on his roster.

Serratore said there are several reasons he looks to the NAHL to fill the majority of his roster at Air Force each season. “The players we get out of the NAHL fit our culture at Air Force. They come to us as ma-

ture adults, they haven’t been pampered, they come in with a great work ethic and they are humble,” said Serratore. They want to get to continue to learn and become better hockey players at the NCAA

level and they are appreciative of what we provide. Everyone has to have a primary recruiting ground, or ‘go to’ league, and for us that league is the NAHL.”

ing your team,” he said. “But from that standpoint, I always wanted to be back versus New England just because it is New England and it's a tough game for us.” The Patriots have been a thorn for the Bills for much of this past decade. New England had won 20 of 21 meetings and 15 straight against Buffalo before a 34-31 loss here last season. The running attack has provided the Bills an identity three games into the season. Spiller entered the game against Cleveland leading the NFL in both yards rushing (292) and yards from scrimmage (364). The 2010 first-round draft pick is off to such a hot start that his 10.1 yards per carry is the highest total two games into a season — and with a minimum 25 carries — since Jim Brown averaged 11.3 yards in 1963. Third-stringer Tashard Choice took over following Spiller's injury and finished with 91 yards on 20 carries. The Bills rank third in the NFL with 534 yards rushing, and are second in averaging 5.6 yards per carry. Buffalo's passing attack has already been thinned after receiver David Nelson was placed on season-ending injured reserve after tearing a ligament in his right knee in the season opener. “That would be great news for us,” quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick said of the possibility of Jackson playing. “We know Fred and the competitor he is. If they allow him to go, you know he's going to. “That would be a big boost for us to get him out here.” Jackson was the Bills' workhorse last season before landing on season-ending injured reserve after breaking a bone in his right leg in November. Despite missing the final six games, his combined 1,376 yards of offense still represented nearly a quarter of team's production.

It was the first road win since the 2011 season opener for the revamped Bills.

season. Although this year that gap is much shorter because bow season opens on Oct. 1. I must admit that it has snuck up on me and I am not ready yet. I took off work for opening day and I might end up going fishing instead. I think there are some steelhead in and

around the Cattaraugus Creek so if I can not get out to the perch waters then I would look for some of them. The other tributaries in our area are very low and probably won’t have any fish in them for a while. Usually late November is the best time for fall steelhead fishing. Of course I

would rather be deer hunting at that time of year. New York State is having a youth deer hunt during the up coming Columbus Day week end. The D.E.C. website should have all the details for anyone interested in that.

waters have smallmouth bass moving into shallower reef and shoal areas. Good concentrations of bass can be found around the popular nearshore reefs in 20-40 feet of water, especially Seneca Shoal and Myers Reef. The early morning bite is good in as shallow as 10 feet of water. A drop-shot rig with crayfish, shiners, tube jigs or plastics works well. Good bass catches have been reported in the harbors, now that water temperatures are falling. Steelhead are trickling into Cattaraugus Creek and a few have been caught as far upstream as Gowanda. Targeting steelhead in the lowest section of the creek or from the pier are better bets. Cool weather and rain will draw more trout upstream. All other tributaries are very low and clear, with only a stray steelhead or two hanging around. A better option for eager anglers is to target steelhead near creek mouths. Wading and casting spoons, spinners and stickbaits off creek mouths works well for steelhead that are cruising along the

Lake Erie shoreline. For those new to steelhead fishing, see the Steelhead Fishing in Lake Erie Tributaries page for information on steelhead fishing tackle, equipment and links to steelhead stream maps.

walleye by boat. Smallmouth bass prospects are also good around Strawberry, Motor and Grand Islands, as cooling temperatures put bass on the feed. Live crayfish and shiners are top baits. Fall is a good time to target muskellunge on the upper river. Drifting along weed edges with large, 8-10 inch tube jigs is a top method.

Anglers continue to report fantastic yellow perch catches on Lake Erie. Off Cattaraugus Creek, Sturgeon Point and spots in between, steady action can be found in 60-70 feet of water. Heavy schools are on the move, so find them on your graph before dropping anchor. Anglers have also seen decent catches in 64-70 feet of water off Dunkirk. Live emerald shiners are best bait, but salted shiners, fathead minnows and worms have also worked. Good walleye prospects remain out of most ports. From Pennsylvania border to Dunkirk, target walleye in 80-105 feet of water with lures run 55-70 feet down. Between Dunkirk and Cattaraugus Creek, better catches have come from 80-90 feet of water. Sturgeon Point trollers work depths of 60-70 feet for decent action. Worm harnesses and stickbaits work well for walleye. Cooling lake

FEDEX CUP CHAMPION continued from pg 4 from five shots, six shots and seven shots behind, the latter at Torrey Pines this year. That's what made Sunday feel more valuable than the cash. That's what he takes to the Ryder Cup next week at Medinah, where no one can question why U.S. captain Davis Love III picked him for the team. “I'm a lot better under pressure than I gave myself credit for,” Snedeker said. “I learned that over the last four weeks. I've had a lot of pressure the last four weeks and a bunch of different stuff going on in my life. To be able to focus in and do what I did was pretty impressive.” Snedeker joins Woods (twice), Vijay Singh, Jim Furyk and Bill Haas as winners of the FedEx Cup in its six-year history. It was an emotional week in

so many ways for Snedeker, already a high-strung personality. His father, Larry, flew in to watch final round at East Lake, only the second tournament he has attended since having a liver transplant last year. And then came the visit with Tucker. “It just made me realize ... as much as I made today out be important, how unimportant it really is,” he said. “It got me focused on the small stuff, which I did a great job of doing today.” But he delivered some big shots — a 40-foot birdie putt on No. 8, just two holes after he dumped his tee shot into the water on the par-3 sixth and made double bogey; the 18-foot birdie putt on No. 13 that gave him momentum on the back nine; and a chip-in for birdie from short of the

Cincinnati started the day tied with Washington for most wins in the majors at 92 -— while resting players to get them ready for the postseason. “I don't think that's too difficult,” Speier said. “I think with our personnel, we've put a competitive team out there every day. But again, we're going to take care of ourselves and make sure the people that need a day or two to get their injuries under wraps will have those. But I don't think that's

going to be hard.” Left-hander Aroldis Chapman finished the 6-0 win on Saturday, pitching the ninth inning. He'd been sidelined since Sept. 11 with a tired pitching shoulder that had his velocity down to the mid-90s. He was throwing 99 mph again on Saturday. “I thought he looked good,” Speier said. “I was happy that when he was off the strike zone, it was down. That's a good sign. “I know he was anxious to

Chautauqua Lake

Fall is generally a good time to target muskellunge on Chautauqua Lake. Some musky anglers troll along weed edges in 10-16 feet of water, while others target suspended musky 20-25 feet down over 30-35 feet of water. Trolling with large, 51/2 to 8 inch minnow-type stickbaits (especially perch pattern) is a good bet. 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 perch action.

Upper Niagara River

The head of the river remains a good spot to target smallmouth bass or

17th green that effectively clinched it. “I had complete confidence in what I was doing,” Snedeker said. Rose was within one shot on the back nine, but he never caught up after Snedeker's big birdie on the 13th. Rose will look back on the final round and regret a series of missed putts, mostly for birdies and one for par, all of them costly. He missed four putts inside 10 feet. “He's mentally tough, Brandt,” Rose said. “It's kind of a different pressure, playing for $10 million. It gets in your head more than other golf tournaments. Other golf tournaments, it's more routine. But this week, it's not routine. We talk about it all year long, and suddenly you have to walk the walk. And he did a great job of that today.”

BILLS WIN, SPILLER INJURED continued from pg 9 some compliments afterward, crediting his teammates for stepping up without Spiller. “We knew we had to put our foot on the gas again and when we did, the offensive line was revved up and ready to go,” he said. “It was a heck of a job by Tashard. He got some really tough yards for us.” The Browns were again plagued by costly penalties, dropped passes and an inability to stop the run. Rookie quarterback Brandon Weeden went 27 of 43 for 237 yards and a TD pass to fellow rookie Travis Benjamin. However, he was intercepted twice

The area's streams are running low and clear, with slightly better conditions in the counties to the south. There is not much hatch activity besides light sporadic hatches of tricos and isonychia. Using terrestrials such as ants, beetles and grasshoppers 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.

SUNYAC VOLLEYBALL BEGINS continued from pg 7 and Lindsey Olson had eight kills each, while Olson added seven digs. In addition, Kelly Edinger collected 21 assists, Meredith Smietana six blocks, and Paulina Rein three service aces. The weekend ended with a 21-25, 25-20, 22-25 and 16-26 loss to Buffalo State, which won all three of its pool play

matches. The four West Division teams meet again Oct. 19 and Oct. 20 at Dods Hall. Olson had 16 kills, Manning 11 kills and three aces, Edinger 34 assists and 10 digs, Lauren Hokoj 19 digs, and Rein seven kills and 10 digs against the Bengals. Friday, Paulina Rein and Manning had six kills each to lead

Fredonia over Oswego, 3-0, on the opening night of pool play. Rein added eight digs while Manning had five blocks and three service aces for the Blue Devils, who won the match by set scores of 25-18, 25-20 and 25-8. Kelly Edinger recorded 22 assists and three service aces, and Lindsey Olson was credited with eight digs.

overturned because the ball hit the ground. However, the penalty still is enforced. Instead of 15 yards, officials marked it off from the Detroit 44 — the wrong spot. ''As soon as the play was declared incomplete it becomes a first down and it becomes 15 yards from the play before,'' Lions coach Jim Schwartz said. The Redskins were penalized 20 yards instead of 15 for unsportsmanlike conduct in the final seconds of their 38-31 loss. Robert Griffin III spiked the ball to stop the clock with 7 seconds left. Then tight end Fred Davis was called for a 5-yard false start penalty. According to Washington coach Mike Shanahan, at least one official indicated there would be a 10-second runoff, ending the game — and the Bengals, led by coach Marvin Lewis, started walking onto the field. There shouldn't have been a runoff, though, because the clock had been stopped by the spike. The Redskins began arguing, and eventually the unsportsmanlike conduct penalty was called. The officials never announced specifically who the call was against, just that the penalty would be added to the false start, a total of 20 yards. But they walked off 25 yards — the official game play-by-play said 20 yards were enforced for the unsportsmanlike conduct. That left the Redskins with a third-and-50. ''They threw the flag at us, and there was half of the (Bengals) team on the field,'' Shanahan said. ''I was disappointed in that.''

Proactive plan keeps game in top shape Many people believe that people can’t change, that once you reach adulthood, your personality is pretty much set. When things go wrong, this belief can lead to a shrug of the shoulders — “What can you do? It’s just Manny being Manny or Britney being Britney.” This attitude implies that intervention is hopeless, and I hear a version of this every week when I talk to golfers. The older the golfers, the more resigned they sound: “Can’t teach an old dog new tricks.” My message to them is that when you’re having trouble with your game, don’t just accept it. Do something. Solving your problem might include a lesson, but that’s just one intervention. I suggest you be proactive and assemble four interventions even before you have any problems. I call these four basic areas the Four Pillars of Golf. They are swing mechanics, equipment, mental management and physical fitness. The Four Pillars are the vehicles you use to maximize your potential by making yourself the best that you can be in each area. If you can do that, you will bring the best “you” to your golf game, and that’s all anyone can ask. To do anything well, you need to assemble your resources, the skills, concepts, mental programs and attitudes that make peak performance possible. I call this process “going to see the wizard,” a journey of self-acquisition. Insider Takeaway: To play a decent game of golf is not that hard, and to complain about your bad golf without doing anything about it is all too easy. The Four Pillars are the “what” you should know. Once the resources are in your arsenal, you must actually use them to play the game.

Battling back According to many historians, King Richard III of England not only had a deformed personality (Shakespeare described him as a monster), but also a deformed body caused by severe scoliosis, an abnormal curvature of the spine that made it difficult for him to swing a broadsword in battle while riding a horse. Today you don’t have to worry about swinging a broadsword, but scoliosis can affect your ability to swing a golf club. And it’s more common than you might think. Of every 1,000 children, five develop spinal curves that are severe enough to need treatment. Many golfers don’t even know they have it, but I always check at the beginning of the first lesson. I look from behind to determine if there is an abnormal curvature. Signs of scoliosis may include: • Uneven shoulders • One shoulder blade that appears more prominent than the other • One hip higher than the other • Leaning to one side If the curve of the spine tilts the right-handed player to the right, the tendency is to set up with too much weight on the right side. Major problems include hitting the ball fat and an inability to transfer weight correctly. Hitting the ball fat in turn

causes the ABOUT THE WRITER player to Dr. T.J. straighten Tomasi is a teaching up through professional impact in in Port St. order to preLucie, Fla. Visit his vent hitting website at the ground, tjtomasi.com. and this causes a thinned shot. If your spine curves away from the target, your front shoulder needs to be lower, with the back hip slightly closed to compensate. If you have trouble transferring your weight, move the ball back an inch or two in your stance and keep more weight on your front leg as you swing. If the curvature of the spine is the opposite, so that the upper part of the body is angled toward the target, then everything is just reversed. Tour players Karrie Webb, Ken Duke and Dudley Hart have scoliosis, as does Stacy Lewis, so having it doesn’t mean you can’t play great golf. Lewis wore a back brace for seven years until she finally had a successful operation to correct her scoliosis. Since joining the LPGA Tour in 2009, she has won $3.5 million, a startling accomplishment considering that a few years ago she couldn’t lift a five-pound weight.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“I didn’t think I could give him the time he’d need, so I turned him down, which I don’t think many people have done.” — Johnny Miller, about why he turned down Tiger Woods when he was looking for a new coach after he left Butch Harmon.

Correct shoulder action can be disrupted by scoliosis. This player has a mild spine curve away from the target that drops his back shoulder too low coming to the ball, so he runs the risk of hitting it fat. I’m giving him the feel of a more level shoulder action.

Dudley Hart has had a productive career on the PGA Tour despite having scoliosis, although back trouble has kept him sidelined in recent years.

BIRDIES AND BOGEYS

Eyes of the Tiger On Friday at the Deutsche Bank Championship, Tiger Woods lined up a curling left-to-right 25-foot putt and shockingly misread it by three feet on the low side. For the last 12 months, this has been happening with a regularity that is very unTigerlike. Misreads from an aging star beg the question: Are his eyes in the initial stages of decline? The macro skills of his full swing are in place, but have his micro skills, such as reading greens and judging distance, decreased? He is almost 36, an age when inelasticity of the eye lens can begin to cause misreads. GOLF BY THE NUMBERS

The Ryder Cup: USA vs. Europe 4 — The number of picks American captain Davis Love exercised. They were Steve Stricker, Brandt Snedeker, Dustin Johnson and Jim Furyk. It’s my prediction that Europe will win, and the key failure will be Jim Furyk, whose recent loss of form could only get him on the team using the buddy system, where the captain picks his pals. In past Cups, Furyk has a not-so-good record of eight wins, 15 losses and four ties. Although I’m rooting for our side, I fear he will prove to be our Achilles heel coming down the stretch. 23 — Most Ryder Cup Wins (team plus individual): Nick Faldo. He also has scored the most points — 25. Note: Players score one point for a win, a half-point for a tie. 100% — Top Point-Scoring Percentage (minimum of three Ryder Cup teams): Jimmy Demaret (USA) (6 wins, 0 losses, 0 halves). 11 1/2 — Most Foursome Points Won: Bernhard Langer (Eur) (11-6-1). 7 — Most Single Points Won: Neil Coles (Eur), Colin Montgomerie (Eur), Billy Casper (USA), Arnold Palmer (USA), Lee Trevino (USA). 4 — Most Singles Matches Lost USA: Raymond Floyd, Phil Mickelson, Jack Nicklaus, Mark O’Meara.

Q: When I try to use my 3- and 4-irons, I have an awful time getting the ball in the air. Any suggestions? — Marlene A: I gave a lesson the other day to a good senior player who carried nothing lower than a 7-iron in her bag. She had brought all the irons in her set with her, so I asked her to hit a few shots with her 4-iron. They didn’t go well, and her swing looked jerky and unsteady. But when she put the 7-wood in her hand, things changed. Her swing had a smooth firmness to it, and the ball flew high and straight. It was the same for her 9- and 11-woods. This is further testament to what I believe will be a basic change in the equipment side

of the game in the next decade. The long and medium irons are out, and the highlofted metal fairway woods are in. They are so much easier to hit, and they fly higher, making the ball stop quicker on the greens. Unless you are a strong player, there probably isn’t much difference in distance in your long and medium irons. They may have 3, 4, 5 and 6 stamped on them, but they all fly about the same. With the metal woods, you can choke down to produce the in-between distances that are so troublesome for poor iron players. (To Ask the Pro a question about golf, email him at: pblion@aol.com.)

Golf clubs are groovy

The HEEL of the club is the portion of the clubface nearest the shaft, and the TOE is at the other end with the sweet spot in the center of the face. The horizontal lines on the face are known as the scoring lines, or GROOVES. These grooves indirectly add to the spin that’s transmitted to the ball upon contact; the direct contributor to spin is the loft of the club. The two vertical lines formed by the ends of the grooves on the toe and heel are the AIMING LINES. An imaginary extension of these two lines toward your target matches your target line

when your clubface is aimed correctly. When the aiming lines point to the left of your target, your clubface is CLOSED or shut to the target, and when they point right of the target, your clubface is OPEN (switch it around for left-handers). The LEADING EDGE of the club is the point where the sole forms an angle with the clubface. The HOSEL is the protrusion located at the extreme heel end of the face where the shaft attaches to the clubhead. Although your woods look somewhat different, the same terminology applies to them.

Surgery can eliminate need for troublesome contacts Prior to his record-setting years, Tiger Woods had his vision corrected, thereby dramatically increasing his ability to read greens and see the target more clearly. He had worn contact lenses, but they made his eyes tired and were troublesome in the wind. LASIK surgery took care of that, just as it has for many other golfers, such as Tom Kite and Fred Funk. LASIK corrects myopia (nearsightedness), the inability to see distant objects clearly. It’s a condition that has increased in the last 100 years to now affect 60 percent of college grad-

uates in this country and 40 percent of the general population globally. In LASIK, the surgeon uses a laser to flatten the cornea, changing the point where light rays converge to produce the image on the retina. The procedure is not to be taken lightly, and it is not completely risk-free. Side effects can include: ✓ Over-correction ✓ Under-correction ✓ Inability to wear contact lenses ✓ Loss of the corneal cap, requiring a corneal graft ✓ Corneal scarring, infection and loss of vision
