apple is the product. But with all the blossoms freezing turning black and dying, the bees had nothing to pollinate. “Too many trees were affected, and the overall crop is about 50% or less from it normal yield,” said Golden. Normally, New York State produces over 29 million bushels of apples every year- a number that earns us the ranking of second in the nation. Thankfully, as hard hit as farmers were, it wasn’t as bad here as other places in the nation. Michigan, normally ranked third in the US,

lost 90% of its apple crop this year- a devastating loss to the supply of the nations apples. Because of this, costs have gone up in every arena where apples are concerned. “It filters down into everything,” said Dan Pawlowski, owner of Pumpkinville in Great Valley. “Pies, cider, even candied apples. Our cider costs about $2.50 more per gallon to make this year.” Pawlowski gets his apples from a grower that he has been faithful to for years near Lake Ontario, an area that fared average with the State. He isn’t alone in feeling the crunch this year, either. “Weve given up educational tours this year,” said Bob Shultz, owner of the Busti Apple and Cider Mill. “We could get apples pretty reasonable, they were seconds, but we could make apple cider out of that. Even those are in short supply. Last night we had to get cider apples, but we had to go to three different places to get six bins of apples.” According to Golden, there is no rhyme or reason why some orchards Continued on Page 9

Uncovering Lake Erie Shipwrecks Managing Editor

“In Lake Erie, you don’t want to go out in October.” Those are the words of Georgann Wachter, speaking of the turbulent storms that have toppled many vessels during that month over the years. Husband wife team Georgann and Mike Wachter are researchers, authors and historians that have been diving in lakes around the world since the 1970s. Residents of the Cleveland area, they have taken a special interest in the wrecks of Lake Erie. The pair has authored three books on the subject including Erie Wrecks & Lights, Erie Wrecks East and Erie Wrecks West. The pair will give a chronology of the shipwrecks in the lake from military vessels which sailed in the 1700’s to more recent commercial vessels downed in the lake- one sinking as late as 1999. The webinar called “Shipwrecks of Lake Erie: Fire, Storm and Collision,” comes to Jamestown Community Colleges on Thursday, Oct. 18. Attendees – whether historians, divers or the just the curious - will learn about the circumstances and mysteries surrounding the loss of so many ships in the shallowest of the Great Lakes. According to Wachter, she and husband Mike have found about 30 wrecks in the lake, but estimate that there are probably 1,200 sunken military and commercial vessels in total. “We have found a lot of shipwrecks we think no one has seen since they

went down in the 1800’s or early 1900s.” Like the title suggests, the three main causes of wrecks in the lake include fires, collision and storm, although fire is much less common now than in the past, according to Wachter. “Storms are the primary cause of shipwrecks on Lake Erie, but collisions are probably the second most common cause. A lot of old steamers caught fire and caused a huge loss of life where 200 people died-similar to when an airliner going down.” The Wachters will speak about many of the great Ohio residents Georgann and Mike Wachter have dived shipwrecks throughout storms on the lake.

Commentary: Reliance isn’t weakness

My faith in God has been the pinnacle of my existence since I was 14 years old. I distinctly remember the day that I turned my life over to God. At that time, I didn’t realize the intensity of the decision that I’d made. I knew that there By Scott Wise was more to life, and I wanted whatever that ‘more’ was.

All through my Since then, my life has been years in higher education, I was bombarded with the idea radically changed by my faith. that putting faith in something I’ve helped people and hurt as crucial to my existence was people all in the name of faith. a sign of fragility and inability My humanity has caused my faith to wander at times, but to stand on one’s own. ultimately I end each day I vastly disagree with this statement. I’ve often said that knowing my life is dominated there are two things that saved by an unending source of strength.

Faith is not simply going to church on a Sunday morning. Faith is not simply reaching out to those in need. The kind of faith that we can have in Jesus is meant to trickle down into every arena of our life. I’ve desired to emulate that faith for those around me. I’ve succeeded valiantly at that, and failed miserably as well. But there is one thing that I do not believe- my faith has not made me weak. If anything, I’m a stronger person today because of it. The fallacy that reliance on God is a crutch for the weak is a statement backed by nothing but unfounded truth. I cannot believe that we are meant to simply exist. I cannot believe that there is not a promise to humanity for a better life. I cannot believe that life is meant to be endured. We encounter situations that require a greater degree of strength than others; let us go to the one who gives strength to get through.

but I don’t believe any state requires you to report the location.” However, she says most states and the province of Ontario do have laws prohibiting removal of anything from a wreck site. “You can get permits to bring things up in various states, but sometimes its costly or a lot of paperwork. The property theoretically has been deeded to all the states or the province of Ontario who have interest in historical wrecks over 20 years old.” Both Wachter and her husband have their favorite un-

derwater finds. Her husband’s is a wreck the pair found two years ago by accident—an old schooner, she describes as having beautiful scrollwork on its bow. “Since the painted name is gone, part of the fun is trying to identify the vessel.” “We were looking for another shipwreck and happened to find this old, old schooner. We think we’ve identified it, but we can’t prove it, but believe it was hit by another vessel off of Cleveland in the 1850s.” Another found off Conneaut, Ohio, is a favorite of Geor-

gann’s. Although she says, “most divers are very honest,” she admits it has so many artifacts that they were afraid it might disappear. Some of the items found include a beautiful brass bell and platters and plates. “I enjoy this one because it’s so well preserved and the anchors are strewn here and there.” The webinar will also include a question and answer session and takes place at JCC’s Carnahan Theater in Jamestown.

Edwards Visits Goose Creek for Final Stage of Stream Bank Stabilization Project

Contributed Article Oﬃce of the County Executive

Chautauqua County Executive Greg Edwards joined watershed professionals and BOCES students today to oversee the final stage of the stream bank stabilization project on a portion of Goose Creek along 4904 Route 474 in Ashville. The $40,000 project is funded through the County’s 2% Occupancy Tax Grant, which supports projects dedicated to the enhancement and protection of Chautauqua County’s lakes and streams. This grant was awarded to the Chautauqua County Soil and Water Conservation District (CCSWCD) and was approved by the Legislature for funding in 2012. It enables the CCSWCD to help eliminate severe erosion along a portion of Goose Creek and to prevent the discharge of sediment loads from the stream bank into Goose Creek and Chautauqua Lake. Chautauqua County Watershed Coordinator Jeff Diers, who manages the 2% Occupancy Tax grants and

contracts, said Dave Wilson and the staff at CCSWCD have been instrumental in this project and many other 2% grant projects by providing much needed technical expertise on stabilization projects in the County. To fix the bank’s severe erosion, the CCSWCD installed 125 feet of limestone rip-rap along the lower bank. They also created an education experience for conservation students from Erie 2-Chautauqua-Cattaraugus BOCES’ Hewes Educational Center in Ashville as students were able to observe the rock rip-rap being installed and see firsthand the important techniques used to preserve our waterways. Today, the conservation students helped in the final stage of the project as they planted willows donated by Double A Willow in Fredonia. By incorporating this bio-engineering technique, students were able to help stabilize the upper reaches of the eroding slope. “This project has been an excellent learning experience for our conservationists of tomorrow,” said Edwards. “The

Conservation students from BOCES plant willows along a portion of Goose Creek to help stabilize the stream bank.

Chautauqua County Soil and Water Conservation District has not only done a remarkable job in stabilizing the stream bank to preserve our waterways for recreational use, but they have also provided BOCES students with a lesson

on conservation techniques.” The 2% Occupancy Tax Grant is funded through Chautauqua County’s five percent occupancy tax or “bed tax” for the rental of lodging units within the County. Three-fifths of this revenue is utilized to increase

tourism and special events while the other two-fifths is utilized to enhance and protect lakes and streams. The Goose Creek Stream Bank Stabilization Project is one of various projects that are

funded through this 2% Occupancy Tax Grant. For more information about the 2% Occupancy Tax Grant for Chautauqua County Lakes and Waterways visit www. planningchautauqua.com.

By being 4-Hers, not only do these kids ride but they participate in several 4-H youth development projects and programs. “I couldn’t be prouder of these ladies, they have worked so hard and so well together. Great job ladies!” said Coach Masood. The Chautauqua County’s State Title also earned them the opportunity to perform as the opening performance of

The 4-H Drill Team is a synchronized equine event in which six riders from a county are to develop their own drill, 5 to 10 minutes in length.

Each drill must include, but is not limited to the following four maneuvers: pinwheel, thread the needle, oblique and mesh/interlocking fingers. The Chautauqua County Riders with one alternate developed an awe-inspiring and captivating performance set to a Star Wars theme outfitting both themselves and their horses in themed outfits. Executing maneuvers on a horse is difficult and synchronizing with five other riders is even more complex, add in costumes and music can be a challenge, but

RELIGION SECTION The Weekly Word Trusting the Character of God

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

It would help us all to know and to realize that the size of our faith is not nearly as important as the quality of God’s character. We have all hoped that our faith would be big enough to receive the help we need in our families, health, and finances. Many of us have blamed our lack of faith when help fails to manifest. But let me say this: God doesn’t stretch His hand over us because we are always faith giants; He manifests His help when we have a knowledge of His goodness. “For God so loved the world that He gave…” God doesn’t give because we always deserve it. God gives because He loves.

There are no shortcuts to real mountain moving faith. There is no diet pill or drive through mentality to having sincere bedrock faith. There isn’t a recipe of faith or a 12 step program. Real faith comes only from a personal fellowship with our Heavenly Father. This pure and genuine faith is only forged in alone time with God. As you mediate on God’s Word because you want to know Him, your faith will become authentic. As you bow your knees behind closed doors because you want to commune with Him, your faith will be fueled by personal knowledge of the One you are seeking. Faith is not something

we try to have; Faith is what comes automatically when we know God. If you know the character of the One you are asking then you will rest on that character more than your efforts. The devil has successfully convinced many Christians that their faith isn’t enough. And by doing so, he has persuaded believers to consider their own faith first when they should have first considered the character of God. Christians then move into a place where God cannot go: They move into self condemnation. They move to a place of blaming themselves. Many Christians can forgive others but few have learned to

forgive themselves. James 1:5 in the Amplified Bible says, “If any of you is deficient in wisdom let him ask of the giving God, who gives to everyone liberally and UNGRUDINGLY, WITHOUT REPROACHING OR FAULTFINDING, and it will be given him.” This verse tells us how to receive from God. God always gives in an environment without faultfinding. God does not size up your self-righteousness before He decides to give you something. You must not be in a place of blaming yourself if you are to receive from God. He gave us Jesus “while we were yet sinners.” (Rom 5:8) He doesn’t withhold because

of grudges. He gives because of His incredible desire to demonstrate His love. When you come to God you must know this about Him. You must be willing to believe that He is not looking at your faults. (If you are Born Again) You must understand that He has required you not to condemn yourself. You must see yourself as qualified to receive because of His love and not your “put on” faith. Believing only in your faith is not faith at all. Believing that God is going to give out of His love is what faith was meant to be all along. This faith only occurs when a person personally knows God.

Keeping the Faith

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

Dear Pastor, I want to do the right thing… how should I vote? We will soon be voting for our next president as well as making a decision for other key elected posts in county and/ or state government. Those we choose will represent us and make decisions that will mar the future of our nation, state, and counties. The privilege to vote should not be taken lightly and should be executed after a careful study of the candidates. As Christians, however, we have the added

responsibility to consider our votes in light of the Word of God. So what does the Bible say in this area? Current law forbids me, as a pastor, to publicly endorse any specific candidates. This law was enacted some years ago to curtail the influence of the Christian perspective in politics. For the first century of this country, the church was the very center of political debate and candidates were routinely supported or denounced from the pulpit. While the early fathers might “roll over

in their graves” at the current church’s forced silence, I must comply with the law. I can, however, give you some guidelines from God’s Word to help you cast a righteous vote. One of the most important things to look for in a candidate is one who has godly character and demonstrates integrity. The Bible states in Proverbs 14:34 that “Righteousness exalts a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.” It’s not specifically the Republican or Democratic party that will prosper and protect

our nation, it’s righteousness! You can vote for someone who believes that they have the answers to economic woes, but if they are not concerned with God’s idea of righteousness and they promote immoral laws that conflict with the Word of God, they will lead the nation further from God’s blessings. I strongly encourage you to research the candidates beyond their personalities and campaign slogans. Where are they in their walk with God? How do their statements and

voting records compare with God’s Word in the areas of abortion, marriage rights, religious freedom, personal responsibility, and other issues relevant to righteousness. If you truly desire to follow God, this should help you to decide how you should be voting. Remember. You’re a Christian first, a Republican or Democrat, second. So, fulfill your responsibility and privilege… get out and vote. And when you do vote, vote for righteousness!

Baillie called home to say Big Wheelie was offering him the opportunity to manage a club in Bradenton, Fla. Within about three weeks, the family held a garage sale, baptized their son, and held a party to celebrate the occasion and say goodbye to family and friends. In Florida, the band played five 3-hour shows, plus a happy hour each week. Once the club was well established, the band returned to touring in Southern Ontario, up and down the East Coast and in the Southern States. The band rode together and Big Wheelie traveled separately. Borzillire, however, never liked to part with his instruments, so he rode in the equipment truck with his sax and flute. He recalls playing on a platform while being lowered onto the stage into the crowd, on tables, on his back and even fell down bleacher-type seating while playing, but never missed a note. His wife and son tried to make it to as many gigs as possible, but primarily made do with phone calls from him every other day and “reading” a

When Big Wheelie realized his sax man was riding with the roadies, he asked Borzillire to drive him between gigs. His sax and flute took up residence in the backseat of the Cadillac. He and Big Wheelie became close friends. The lifestyle affected each differently and conflicting personal philosophies developed. After three years, Borzillire left the band.

After his departure from the band, he moved his family to Hinesburg, Vt. Where Borzillire began playing with Boogie Beast. Returning to WNY, for the next 15 years, Borzillire performed as a freelance musician and/or member of various bands in the Buffalo area (i.e., Hot Wax), Dunkirk/ Fredonia (i.e., Good Times, The Total Strangers) and Jamestown (i.e., Rhythm Express, Rockin’ Rick and the Homewreckers). He also formed Shakedown, performed with members of

Nightshift in Second Shift Blues Band, and was a frequent guest for Blue Mondays at the Ironstone Restaurant in Jamestown. During this time, Borzillire also taught private sax, flute, clarinet, piccolo and oboe lessons. His students have gone on to Off Broadway performances, careers as music teachers and other professions. During those years, Borzillire also conducted music clinics Continued on page 7

HEALTH SECTION

WCA Hospital Launches Breast Cancer Awareness Month Campaign At some point in a woman’s life, one out of eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, in 2011, an estimated 230,480 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed among women, as well as an estimated 57,650 additional cases of in situ breast cancer. Approximately 39,520 women are expected to die from breast cancer—the second leading cause of deaths in women. What is breast cancer? Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that starts in the cells of the breast. A malignant tumor is a group of cancer cells that can grow into (invade) surrounding tissues or spread (metastasize) to distant areas of the body. The disease occurs almost entirely in women, but men can get it too. What are the signs and symptoms of breast cancer? Breast cancer typically produces no symptoms when the tumor is small and most treatable. Therefore, it is very important for women to follow recommended screening guidelines for detecting breast cancer at an early stage, before symptoms develop. When breast cancer has grown to a size that can be felt, the most common physical sign is a painless lump. Sometimes breast cancer can spread to underarm lymph nodes and cause a lump or swelling. Less common signs and symptoms include breast pain or heaviness; persistent changes to the breast, such as swelling, thickening, or redness of the breast’s skin; and nipple abnormalities such as spontaneous discharge, erosion, inversion, or tenderness. Any persistent abnormality in the breast should be evaluated by a physician as soon as possible! What are the risks factors for breast cancer?

Being a woman . . . Just being a woman is the biggest risk factor for developing breast cancer. Age . . .your risk of breast cancer increases as you get older. Approximately two out of three invasive breast cancers occur in women age 55 or older. Family history . . . Approximately five to 10 percent of breast cancers are thought to be hereditary, caused by abnormal genes passed from parent to child. Personal history of breast cancer . . . If you’ve been diagnosed with breast cancer, you’re 3 to 4 times more likely to develop a new cancer in the other breast or a different part of the same breast. Race/Ethnicity . . . White women are slightly more likely to develop breast cancer than African American, Hispanic, and Asian women. However, African women are more likely to develop more aggressive, more advanced stage cancer. Being overweight . . . Overweight and obese women have a higher risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer compared to women who maintain a healthy weight, especially after menopause. Being overweight also can increase the risk of breast cancer reoccurring in women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer. Drinking alcohol . . .Research consistently shows that drinking alcoholic beverages—beer, wine, and liquor—increases a woman’s risk of hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer. Other risk factors include, having dense breasts, lack of exercise, smoking, and low Vitamin D levels. How can you reduce your risk of breast cancer? Every woman wants to know what she can do to lower her risk of breast cancer. While most women are aware of

breast cancer, many forget to take the important and vital steps to prevent and detect breast cancer in its earliest stage when it is most treatable. Get Your Mammogram! According to Lyndon Gritters, M.D., board certified radiologist and Radiology Department Chair at WCA Hospital, getting a mammogram screening is the first line of defense against breast cancer. “Early detection means faster intervention, more treatment options, and improved survival rates,” says Dr. Gritters. “It’s one thing to be told you have cancer. It is another to be told, ‘Yes, you have cancer, but it is in the early stages when it is potentially curable’. The majority of women diagnosed with breast cancer is in the early stage and prime for quick treatment. Getting annual mammogram screenings saves lives!” To schedule your mammogram, contact the Center For Imaging at WCA at (716) 664-8448. Other factors can that help reduce your risk of breast cancer: Limit alcohol. Control your weight. Exercise regularly the rest of your life. Consume as many fruits and vegetables as possible. Maintain a positive mental outlook. WCA Hospital – A Breast Imaging Center of Excellence The Center For Imaging & Medical Arts At WCA Hospital is committed to ensuring that every woman and man who visits the facility for a mammogram receive the care and attention they deserve. The Center For Imaging and Medical Arts At WCA, designated a Breast Imaging Center Of Excellence by the American College of Radiology’s Commission on Breast

Imaging, is proud to serve our residents with the newest ally in the fight against breast cancer—the Hologic Selenia® state-of-the-art digital mammography system. By implementing digital mammography technology, WCA provides low-dose X-ray mammograms with clearer, magnified pictures for better image interpretation. The technology allows for images to be reviewed more quickly— WCA offers same-day results

for all mammograms. If abnormalities are discovered in an image, biopsies are taken, and the results are discussed with patients the next day. Get Screened! WCA Hospital Encourages Good Breast Health During October National Breast Cancer Awareness Month If your community group/organization would like a breast health expert to speak at your event or meeting, contact Linda Johnson, WCA Hospital

Public Relations at (716) 6648614 to schedule a speaker. WCA Hospital Speakers’ Bureau is a free service whose purpose is to educate consumers on living a healthy lifestyle.

with our local instrumental music program; performed as a visiting artist within local school districts, scouting groups, early childhood programs, nursing homes and senior citizen groups; accompanied and recorded with Vince Quattroche, SUNY Fredonia faculty member; and made voice recordings for local Cable TV commercials. Borzillire rejoined Big Wheelie and the Hubcaps, only to leave again; then, he rejoined them for a second time in 1999. Then in 2004, he began playing with the Rod Nickson Project, as well as Big Wheelie. On Labor Day of that year, Borzillire suffered a massive stroke. His recovery has been complicated by medical conditions, some more lifethreatening than others. Early on in his recovery, his family noted the impact music had on Borzillire’s successful rehabilitation. Incorporating his sax mouthpiece helped trigger the automatic responses required for effective biting, chewing, swallowing, and effectively coordinating breathing with those movements. Use of drum peddles and high velocity electronic

keyboards facilitated movement of his right arm/hand/ fingers and leg/foot. Following periods of actively playing his sax, Borzillire established stronger functional skills for everyday activities. His family also noted improvement in his listening, thinking and problem solving. Since the stroke, Borzillire has received physical, occupational and speech/language therapy twice a week, in addition to, the services of an RN twice each month, or more, depending upon complications. For 15 months, he worked with another sax player to work out alternate fingerings, develop confidence in his abilities and to develop an accurate concept of what he could and couldn’t do with regards to playing his sax. Towards the end of Summer 2008, Borzillire became aware of the New Horizons Band of Western New York (NHBWNY) and began playing with them. At this time, he plays with the concert band, jazz band and sax quartet. He began soloing with the band in 2010, and in 2011, “Here Comes Charlie!” was written for him by Bruce Johnstone, former baritone

sax player with Woody Herman, Maynard Ferguson, etc. and current SUNY Fredonia Faculty member. Bruce wanted to help Borzillire redevelop his improvisational abilities and get him back to playing as he did in the past. Big Wheelie is looking forward to Borzillire’s return to the stage and performing, again, as a Hubcap. Rod Nickson is also eager for his return. Borzillire is thrilled about his newly adapted Selmer MK 6 saxophone, which allows access to the notes he’s been unable to play since the stroke. When Brian Russell, the builder of the adapted sax, presented the sax to him, he had no problem adjusting to the new fingerings. The grin on his face as he blew a low C for the first time in almost eight years was well worth the wait and aggravation. It took research, numerous and repeated emails/phone calls/ meetings and evaluations over a six-and-a-half-year period, but the positive outcome is even more than Borzillire and his family expected. Borzillire will return to performing, again, as he has for most of his life.

Opera House Cinema Series to Screen “The Intouchables” Contributed Article 1891 Fredonia Opera House

“The Intouchables,” a moving hit French drama about the power of friendship, is the next featured film in the 1891 Fredonia Opera House Cinema Series. It will be screened on Sat., Oct. 6, at 8 p.m. and Tues., Oct. 9, at 7:30 p.m.

The film tells the story of an unlikely friendship that develops between Philippe, a wealthy quadriplegic, and Driss, a troubled ex-con from the ghettos, who is hired to serve as Philippe’s live-in caretaker. Based on a true story, “The Intouchables” explores the bond between the two men and demonstrates the power

and omniscience that love and friendship can hold over all economic and social differences. Rex Reed says the film “has warmth, humor and an understated sweetness that is not to be taken for granted.” James Berardinelli, in ReelViews, calls it “the kind of motion picture that can cause Champagne-like giddiness.” Joe Neumaier, in the New York Daily News, calls it “totally winning, with a pair of performances that fit together perfectly.” Richard Corliss, in TIME magazine, says the film is “a warm one that pushes the viewer’s emotional buttons so deftly it feels like a massage.” Rated R for language and some

SUNY Fredonia Visual Arts & New Media Department To Lead “Yarnbomb” Workshops Contributed Article SUNY Fredonia

“Yarnbombing” or “Yarnstorming” as it’s known in the U.K., is a product of both the graffiti art movement and a new generation of do-ityourself (D.I.Y.) crafters and artists promoting a return to handmade objects as a counterpoint to life in an increasingly urbanized, massproduced and digital age. Yarnbombs can vary in scale and complexity from a simple knit or crocheted “cozy” for a parking meter or street lamp to the more political and elaborate 2010 crochet wrapping of Wall Street’s famous “Charging Bull” sculpture by the Polish artist Olek. From March 8 to April 7, 2013, SUNY Fredonia will welcome the exhibition, “Gone Viral: Medical Science and Contemporary Textile Art” in the Cathy and Jesse Marion Art Gallery of the Rockefeller Arts Center. In conjunction with this upcoming exhibit, the Department of Visual Arts and New Media

invites campus and community members to attend one of two crochet workshops being offered in preparation for the creation of two group yarnbomb installations planned for the center’s Emmitt Christian Gallery and the landscape adjacent to the building. Two fall workshops will be held on Thursday, Oct. 4, from 7 to 9:30 p.m., and again on Friday, Nov. 9, from 3 to 5:30 p.m., in the Cathy and Jesse Marion Art Gallery. Both are free and all materials will be provided, including hooks and yarn, as well as hands-on demonstrations and written instructions. Novices are welcome. Not only will participants be helping to create a visual experience, but they will also learn how to crochet. To learn more about the workshops or the installations, contact Dr. Leesa Rittlelmann, associate professor of Visual Arts and New Media, at rittelma@fredonia. edu or 716-785-7342.

Apples, continued from page 1 are hit harder, a theme which rings true from Western to Upstate New York. “There’s not one area that did better or worse,” said Golden. “The Lake Champlain area came out a little better- but we joke that it’s because they’re already so used to the cold. Some places you go and things look great, other places not so much.” Golden, who started working with the association in April of this year, has heard from coworkers and farmers alike the rarity of a loss this widespread. “MOse have not seen anything like this since 1949,” she said. “It’s been eye opening for everyone. Thankfully, apple growers will not go out of business. They won’t be lost from one bad year. There is crop insurance, and hopefully they’ve taken advantage of it. Next year is a new year and hopefully it will be a good one.” One piece of information that Golden stressed, though, was that a 50% yield still produces around 15 million bushels of apples- so there are still New York apples to be had. “You can go to your local farmer’s markets, or mills and places that buy from local growers,” said Golden. “Consumers can visit our website for places to pick apples, find recipes and promote the awareness of New York Apples. There are less of them, but there are still a lot of apples from New York available.” For more information on locations to find apples this year, and tasty recipes you can make right at home, visit www.nyapplecountry.com.

Jamestown Paranormal Convention, October 13 “Meet the People that Walk Around in the Dark”

“It intrigued me,” says Pollaro, adding, “How can someone who passes away still hang out, you know?” After more research, Pollaro thought it would be interesting to do. “So this is where we are now.” The group said they are contacted year round by people who are looking for answers to unexplained happenings in their home. “Someone will say, hey, my house has got some stuff going on, can you come up? We listen to their claims, come in and set up infrared cameras, hand held EVP (electronic voice phenomenon) recorders and digital cameras. “We hang out all night; pack up, go home, and then the Tom Hunter and Mike Pollaro of the Jamestown Paranormal Investigators. work starts.

Calling all Queen fans ... now is your chance to watch Queen’s momentous concert movie, Hungarian Rhapsody: Queen Live in Budapest ‘86, on the big screen for the first time ever. This unique film event will be presented at the 1891 Fredonia Opera House on Thursday, Oct. 4, at 7 p.m. Digitally remastered in high definition and surround sound, this theatrical release event opens with a special 25-minute documentary feature following the legendary band from just after its showstealing performance at Live Aid through the year leading up to the concert in Budapest. Staged for 80,000 ecstatic fans, the concert set includes favorite hits like Bohemian Rhapsody, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, I Want to Break Free and We are the Champions.

As part of the hugely successful 1986 Magic Tour that, poignantly, was the last to be played by Freddie Mercury, Queen was, for the first time, able to include Hungary on its tour schedule. With three years to go before the fall of the Berlin Wall, this was the largest concert ever staged at the Nepstadion in Budapest, and the first western rock concert performed in a stadium behind the then Iron Curtain. It was of such significance to the Hungarian authorities and film industry that a group of the country’s top cameramen and technicians were brought together to film it for posterity. The resulting concert movie has been digitally remastered for the big screen and is introduced by a documentary feature that gives the inside track on events leading up to the Budapest concert. Using archive footage from rehearsals, interviews with the band and on the road during the

Magic Tour - some of which has never been seen before this fascinating intro feature has been specially created for this theatrical release. Tickets to this unique event are $15 ($10 for students) 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 the United Arts Appeal of Chautauqua County. Opera House media partners are WDOE-AM and Kix Country 96-FM radio. Chautauqua County’s only year-round performing arts center, the 1891 Fredonia Opera House is a membersupported not-for-profit organization located in Village Hall in downtown Fredonia. A complete schedule of events is available at www.fredopera. org.

berg@hotmail.com. The Chautauqua Children’s Safety Education Village is located in Ashville, NY. It is a non-for-profit organization which was formed in 1996. It is made up of an educational facility surrounded by a child-sized village, complete with a business district, paved roads, street signs, sidewalks and everything you would find in an actual Village. The purpose of the Safety Village is to educate children, primarily in the areas of Traffic, Bike and Fire Safety. Our goal is to decrease the number of unnecessary injuries and unfortunate fatalities in our community by allowing children to experience hands-on lessons that they will remember. The Safety Village is sustained through fundraising efforts, grants and donations from a generous community. All donations are tax-deductible and greatly appreciated. Together we can make a difference in the lives of children in our community.

Volunteers Invited to Assist Audubon’s Roadside Cleanup

Established in 1943 as a place for veterans to meet, share meals and enjoy entertainment, War Vets Recreation, Inc. has a time-honored tradition of being there for local veterans in many capacities. Recently, their generosity took the form of a donation to the Veterans Memorial Commission Relocation Fund. Barclay Wellman, Major General United States Army

(Retired), serves on the Board at War Vets Recreation, Inc. as well as the Veterans Memorial Commission. “Moving the memorial from the high school to the new location (near Logan and Harding Avenues) has lots of costs involved,” Wellman said. “There need to be walkways, monuments and areas for people to come together and hold special ceremonies and remember why we are here.” Located on Fluvanna Avenue in Jamestown, the Club offers

membership to area veterans from every branch of the military. The Club also accepts auxiliary members; individuals who are directly related to veterans. For more information on membership contact the Club at 483.0222. For more information on the Veterans Memorial Commission Relocation Fund, or to get involved, contact the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation at 661.3390 or visit online at crcfonline.org.

1600 Riverside Road, onequarter mile east of Route 62 between Jamestown and Warren. After donning a bright orange vest, they will ride in the van to Audubon’s section of highway. After matching orange trash bags are filled with refuse that has intentionally or accidentally ended up on the sides of the road, workers will return to the Nature Center for thanks and food. Dedicated Audubon volunteer Denny Anderson will again head this effort, as he has for many years.

Participants are reminded to dress for the weather and bring gloves if you have them.

Jackson: New Deal Lawyer, Supreme Court Justice, Nuremberg Prosecutor, a biographical account of Jackson’s life by Gail Jarrow. The books will be distributed at the event to advance the mission of the Warren Public Library. “Many young people growing up in rural areas do not realize that they have the same opportunities to achieve their dreams. Their expectations are too low. They don’t dream big enough. And yet there are examples all around them, right in their own backyard,

stories of people like Robert Jackson who, without the benefit of money or even a formal college education, made a major contribution to the world,” said Lisa Gensheimer. “If these stories are presented in an engaging way, we might just inspire a new generation of citizens who will make our country, and the world, be all that it can be.” The documentary was funded, in part, by the Pennsylvania Humanities Council, the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, and the Community Foundation of Warren County, with support from the Robert H. Jackson Center in Jamestown, New York, and the Warren County Historical Society, Warren, Pa. For more information about this or other events, call the Robert H. Jackson Center at (716) 483-6646.

Greystone Hosts Volunteers

Contributed Article Corinne Fredrickson

An afternoon thunderstorm was not enough to keep SUNY Fredonia students from lending a helping hand in honor of the University’s new president, Virginia Schaefer Horvath. Greystone Nature Preserve was just one of the many local businesses and organizations that sponsored opportunities to give back to the community as part of the celebration of the inauguration of Dr. Horvath. More than twenty students braved the weather to help build birdhouses for Greystone’s first official bluebird trail, The John Ruska Bluebird Trail, named in honor of area resident, John Ruska who was generous enough to donate all of the materials for the building of the houses. By the end of the day, seventeen new birdhouses were ready to be set-up throughout the expansive grounds of the nature preserve. Special speakers, Terry Mosher, Carol Hardenburg, and Marty Sanden also attended the event to offer their expert advice and stress the importance of the New York state bird’s recovery.

Bluebirds have often been cited as one of our best loved and most useful birds. It is hard to believe that just a few decades ago these stunning blue beauties were rapidly disappearing because of lack of habitat and interspecies competition. Thanks to organizations like the North American Bluebird Society and the Lake Erie Bird Club, the species has made a stunning come-back throughout the state. Still, the bluebirds need our help now to gain a long-lasting stronghold in western New York. Bluebirds will only build their nests in cavities of some sort, either natural or constructed; and, unfortunately, natural cavities acceptable to bluebirds have become increasingly scarce in our region and those that do exist are usually occupied by house sparrows or starlings-- both of which are capable of out-competing the native bluebirds. Tom Annear, local Cub Scout Leader, planted four trees as a symbol of service for the Fredonia Cub Scouts They had been out cleaning the beach in the morning and got soaking wet and cold and did not make it to the tree planting so this

dedicated man, along with Greystone Winter Manager, Jeff Barr planted the four white oak trees in the rain and wind. Greystone intern and project director, Corinne Fredrickson praised all involved with the project saying, “The work of volunteers like those that attended Saturday’s event, gives bluebirds a ‘wing-up’ on the competition.” The houses the students hammered together are built with the bluebird in mind-- the entrance hole is too small for the larger species (house sparrows and starlings) and the roof and height specifications keep predators out while still allowing careful monitoring of the boxes inhabitants by Greystone directors, Bill Moran and Diane Clark. The day was dubbed a success by volunteer Claudia Ansell: “I was impressed by the enthusiasm of the students, particularly by the overall creative and organizational abilities of those who planned the day.” A special thanks to Christina Jarvis and Jeff Barr for their contribution to the day’s accomplishments.

Q&A

Puppy won’t keep teeth to herself

Q: Please help us stop our puppy from biting us. My husband is ready to take her to the shelter. — via email A: If you watch a litter of puppies play with each other, you might be surprised at how rough they can be. As puppies grow older, they learn from their littermates and their mother how to restrain those playful bites. These lessons are important in the development of a well-mannered pet, which is why experts say puppies should stay with their littermates until at least the age of 7 weeks. When people end up with a pup who missed the crucial lessons taught by her siblings, or if a puppy is naturally nippy (many retrievers and retriever mixes, for example, are very “mouthy” as puppies), there are still ways to teach a youngster to stop biting. Address the problem from a couple of different directions. The first would be to redirect the behavior. Clap your hands to startle the pup into stopping the nipping, and then give your puppy a toy to chew on instead. Don’t forget to praise her for chewing on something that’s not a family member. Even as you’re teaching the puppy what is OK to mouth, teach her how to leave family members unchewed by making the nipping unrewarding. Every time the puppy nips, dramatically cry “ouch” and immediately stop the play session. Fold your arms, turn away and ignore the puppy completely. The message to get across: Play stops when nipping starts. If you’re persistent and consistent, your puppy will get the message. It will also help if you make sure she’s getting plenty of exercise, because sometimes dogs who don’t get enough physical activity get too excited when they’re finally offered the chance to play. If the behavior doesn’t show any sign of easing, or if the biting seems more aggressive than playful, don’t delay in asking your veterinarian for a referral to a behaviorist or trainer. — Dr. Marty Becker Do you have a pet question?

COOL-WEATHER CAUTIONS Fall into the season by making sure your pets are ready for winter

Dogs help get, keep children more active

By Gina Spadafori Universal Uclick

all is my favorite season, and I think it’s my pets’ favorite, too. They all seem to perk up as the evenings get cooler and the days seem to gently warn of the colder days to come. I love walking the dogs as the leaves are turning along the river near our home, watching my little pack as they lift their noses to track the changes in the air. But even as I’m enjoying the crispness and beauty of fall, I’m aware that it means winter is around the corner, and with it, the seasonal challenges for our pets. As the days get shorter in the fall, dog walkers may be out in lower light than they were a few weeks earlier, making them less visible to vehicles. The danger is higher if your dog is a dark color, you wear dark clothes or you walk on a road without sidewalks. Take a page from the bicyclist’s book: Being seen is being safe. Check out reflective vests (for you and your dog), reflective leashes and collars, or other safety gear. The change in weather is more critical to outdoor pets. While I am not keen on the concept of outdoor pets — these pets are often lonely and bored, and are often neighborhood nuisances as well — I realize that people make their own decisions for many different reasons, and most do the best they can. If you have outdoor pets whom you canMost pets enjoy the change to the cooler days of not bring inside, the time to review your fall, but pet owners need to be sure all animals are pet’s shelter is now.

And remember that one of the best things and your pet will get through the worst of the you can do for a pet with joint problems is to keep season in fine shape.

Families with a dog are more likely to have children who engage in physical activity. • Looking for a way to get your children off the couch and more active outdoors? A survey of 1,500 people by the Purina company — both those who own dogs and those who don’t — revealed that children raised in families with dogs are 20 percent more likely to spend time in active, outside play than those in families without canine companionship. • The recent recall of peanut butter due to salmonella contamination is significant to pet owners because it is often used to hide pills, making it easier to get pets to take their medications. More than 30 people in 19 states have been sickened by contaminated products, which all use nuts from New Mexico-based Sunland farms. Updates on the recall and a complete list of affected products are on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s website, FDA.gov. Both dogs and cats can become ill by eating salmonella-contaminated products, and the illness can be transmitted to people from pets. • While most pet lovers are aware of the challenges of re-homing cats and dogs, relatively few give much thought to parrots in need of new homes. The challenge of caring for these pets is made more difficult because of medical and behavioral issues — and the fact that many parrot species kept as pets have potential life spans as long as human ones. The nonprofit Gabriel Foundation in Colorado (thegabrielfoundation.org) has for years maintained a model shelter and sanctuary for these pets, with a variety of services including lifetime care for parrots who cannot be successfully transitioned to new homes. — Gina Spadafori

No. 1 Orchard Park Brings 15-Game Winning Streak To Strider Field By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

Don’t expect Tom Langworthy to be happy about last week’s loss to Frontier. Truth is, nobody in the history of athletics has ever been happy about a loss. But, Langworthy and the Jamestown Red Raiders are still a confident bunch with motivation as high as ever a week after dropping their first contest of the year to Frontier 35-28 last Friday. That’s because come Friday, Jamestown has a chance to even things up in AA South, regardless of last week’s result. The Red Raiders can put themselves in position to clinch the division title in the season’s final game against Clarence if they can knock off the undefeated, defending state champion, No. 1-ranked Orchard Park Quakers at Strider Field. “Whoever wins is in the driver seat,” Langworthy said. “This game has major playoff implications and we’re glad it will be on our turf. But it’s against a quality team. We think we’re a quality team. It’s just a huge game for our program.” Huge indeed. A win for Orchard Park and it’s another division title and the top seed for Class AA’s playoffs that will begin in two weeks. The Quakers have already clinched a home first round playoff game, but make no mistake about it; they’re expecting nothing less than another division title. Orchard Park has now won 18 straight games and 17 straight regular season games, dating back to 2010 when they lost in Week

2 at Clarence. A Jamestown win would not only be the first against the Quakers in a decade, but would also give the Red Raiders a chance to win the division. A loss and Jamestown could be faced with a must-win game against Clarence in the finale or else possibly risk missing the playoffs altogether. “We have something to prove,” Langworthy said. “It’s that much more exciting to have such a quality team coming here for it, but nothing changes from last week. The loss is behind us.” For Jamestown, slowing down a potent Orchard Park offense is key. Senior quarterback Ben Holmes is a

dual-threat that has done plenty of damage through the air and on the ground. “Ben Holmes is an outstanding player,” Langworthy said. “He’s the best player we’ll have seen this year. He can run, he can throw, he’s a tough to prepare for.” His top target has been classmate Austin Goltz, who is well on his way to an All-WNY nomination out wide. Running back Mitchell Wilson is certainly a different type of runner than last year’s All-WNYer Okoya Anderson, but the speedy senior has the potential to take it to the house on every play. And then there’s the OP line, an-

chored by All-State senior Michael Senn, which gave Jamestown all types of fits last year. “It’s a typical OP team,” Langworthy said. “They’re extremely talented, very deep on both sides, well coached, it’ll be a worthy challenge.” What Langworthy can count on — and has counted on this year — is the balance the Red Raiders offensively. Impressive considering Jamestown is going with a first-year quarterback (Jacob Sisson) and running back (Da’Quan Hollingsworth). Sophomores Zack Panebianco and Stephen Carlson have given the passing game great depth as well. Continued on pg 2

Former Jammers Manager Hired To Hockey Team Begins Pink The Rink Jersey Sales Take Over Houston Astros By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

The long line of Marlins farmhands that have reached the majors while starting their careers in Jamestown just got a little longer. No, we’re not talking about a September call-up. We’re not even talking about a player. Bo Porter, manager of the 2006 squad, was named the Houston Astros manager for the 2013 season last week. While Porter had broken into the major leagues as a coach back in 2007, the 40-year-old former outfielder will make his managerial debut next season. "Bo Porter joined our staff in 2011 to instruct and coach our young players in how to play the game right, and in how to win," Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo said in an official statement. "He has been invaluable to us and our drive toward our first postseason." Indeed Porter has done a tremendous job of teaching players and quickly became a highly sought after coaching commodity after his one year in Jamestown. Among the players on the 2006 roster, hitters Chris Coghlan, Logan Morrison, Scott Cousins and John Raynor all made the major leagues. Coghlan, an outfielder, was the 2009 National League Rookie of the Year while Morrison has turned into an everyday outfielder and budding young star for the Marlins. In addition, five pitchers from that team have made it to the majors as well. The team only went 33-39, but Porter’s job speaks for itself considering

nine players wound up breaking into the majors. After his stay with the Jammers, Porter was promoted to the third base coach of the Marlins, a post he held from 2007 until 2009. He chose to sign with the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2010 to hold the same position, but was fired at year’s end. He signed on with Washington prior to the 2011 season and has held that position since. Porter will continue to be the third base coach for the Washington Nationals, who made the playoffs for the first time since moving from Montreal. “I don’t want this to be anything that distracts from what we’re doing here,” Porter told the Washington Post. “We have a chance to really do something special. The guys in the clubhouse, they know that I’m committed. Davey Johnson, the rest of the coaching staff, Mike Rizzo, the Lerner family, they know that I’m committed to what we have going on

here. They know I’m committed to what we’re doing here.” When this season does end, Porter will have some work to do. While his Nationals could end up with the best record in the majors in 2012, his new team owns the worst record. In fact, the Astros have had back-toback 100-plus loss seasons and have owned MLB’s worst record for each of the past two years. Still, Porter spoke highly of the job and said he liked the opportunity to be able to bring in homegrown players. It’s something every organization he’s been involved with has done and something he’s experienced great success with in Washington. As for the Jammers, they ended their run with the Miami Marlins two weeks ago and have since teamed up with the Pittsburgh Pirates. A formal introductory of the new club will likely be announced once the 2012 MLB season has officially ended.

By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

When Chautauqua Lake moved up to Class D this past year, it was with cautious optimism. Sure, the Thunderbirds had just went 9-0 in convincing fashion while winning Class DD, but the talent level of Section VI’s Class D offered quite a step up in competition. After five weeks and after two marquee victories, it’s probably safe to say it was a good move for the school to move up.

beat in the North division after they beat previously unbeaten Cleveland Hill 15-8 on Friday. The win not only kept the Hillbillies alive in the division race, it gave them a chance to clinch a second straight C North title if they can beat Akron this Friday night. Weston Ley threw for 57 yards and ran for 137 to lead the offense. Zach Buckley ran for 87 yards and a touchdown. C South, on the other hand, was thrown back into the blender for basically the fifth straight week. Allegany Limestone defeated Southwestern (2-3, 2-2) 34-13 that gave the Trojans their third loss, the most in a decade. Southwestern’s playoff hopes hinge on Friday night’s game with Cassadaga Valley. Win and they’re in. Lose and they’re out. That’s because the Cougars (2-3, 1-3) fell in league play again, this time to Westfield by a final of 18-0. Cassadaga’s offense has struggled in recent weeks, thanks to some injuries, and will need to bounce back vs. Southwestern or miss they’ll miss the playoffs again. Westfield, though, is suddenly one of the top teams in the league. Bob North said he was hoping to have another .500 season this year with all of the key players lost to graduation, but the Wolverins (3-2, 3-1) are a win away from clinching a share of the South Division crown. Dan Ferguson rushed for two touchdowns and Cameron Wright had one in the shutout win over Cassadaga Valley. Westfield hosts Salamanca on the final week of the season, where they could also clinch a home playoff game. Falconer (1-4, 0-3) dropped it’s third straight by losing to Franklinville, who plays in Class DD. The big surprise in that league, though, was previously unbeaten Sherman (4-1, 3-1) losing to Ellicottville 34-21. It opened up Class DD for the potential of a three-way tie. Part of that is thanks to Clymer (4-1, 4-1), who steamrolled Panama (2-3, 2-2) 55-7 for their fourth straight win. Panama hosts Ellicottville and is in dire need of a win to stay in the playoff hunt. Also in Class DD, Pine Valley (1-4, 1-3) ended a 13-game losing streak by defeating Forestville (0-5, 0-5) 27-21. Josh

JAMESTOWN AND ORCHARD PARK FACE OFF continued from pg 1 continued. “And that’s really opened up our run game.” Langworthy also thought his team learned a lot from losing last week, something that also has added to their motivation, along with a chance to win a division title. “Defensively, we need to tackle a little better,” he said. “We need to have our secondlevel players do a better job of coming up on the play, too.”

But, the key to the Orchard Park game for Langworthy? “We have to put together drives and finish them off with scores,” he said. “We’ve been averaging about 32 points per game and we have to do that Friday as well. Not because we thing we’ll allow that many points, but because that’s what we always strive for no matter who we play.” Being home should help as

well. Jamestown has won eight in a row at Strider Field and hasn’t lost since Orchard Park came in and beat the Red Raiders nearly two years ago. “Strider Field is a tough place to play,” Langworthy said. “We always want to win all of our home games and like when we go on the road, it’s tough to travel here. But our guys are motivated to finish off our home slate with a win.”

Selig Gets Postseason Right

Chris Winkler COMMENTARY

Pro sports commissioners often aren’t the most popular of people amongst sports fans. Fact is things aren’t really aligned for them to win fans over. It’s just one those positions that largely goes ignored until something bad happens. Lately, though, I’m not sure things can go any worse. As it is, three of the four major sports in America have undergone lockouts over the past 18 months. The NFL’s cancelled just one preseason game last year, but Roger Goodell has been forced to deal with heavy — and deserved — criticism lately for putting replacement officials on field for the first three weeks of the season. For the NBA, they lost 16 regular season games and packed a ridiculous 66-game schedule into less than four months. Not that David Stern was very popular, anyway. And yes, I know you haven’t forgotten, but the NHL is currently in its third lockout in the last 20 years and ol’ Gary Bettman doesn’t seem to know about it yet. So for the first time in the known history of mankind, I’m writing something that is praising MLB commissioner Bud Selig. Yes, Bud’s done a lot of things wrong. Baseball continues to operate without a salary cap — much to the chagrin of fans everywhere outside of New York City. The solution of luxury tax is fairly interesting, but is far from affecting the Yankees’ ability to outspend everyone else. But one thing he hasn’t done wrong — at least lately — is stop baseball. Oh yes he stopped it in 1994 and into the 1995 season. But he avoided it in 2002 and suddenly has baseball as the most secure sport, one that you can count on. Quite contradictory for a sport that was ravaged by work stoppages in the ’70s and ’80s. Sure, he’s also done some things that have roused up the traditional baseballs fans such as introducing interleague play and the wild card way back when. Moves that were once considered blasphemous have actually turned out to be pretty successful ideas. Sure, the monetary benefits have waned in recent years but why in the world would we have separate rules in leagues that don’t play each other until it’s time to determine the World Champion? I never really understood that one. Add to it next year when the Houston Astros move from the National League to the American League, we’re going to have interleague play every single day. It may seem trivial, but in all reality, AL teams should have their ight pitchers bat every once in d a while, just as NL teams ark should be allowed to experiment with the DH, more go. often. Sure, I want the DH out of baseball faster than an ace Aroldis Chapman fastball, “We but this is the best of a bad ur situation. Plus, the competin tive balance was off considh ering the NL Central had six teams. Considering a max of our two teams from one division could make the playoffs

before 2012, I’d say it was a bit unfair to all teams in that division. But, all of these are just the sprinkles on top. I laud Selig because of introducing the second wild card, which will be played Friday night. Granted I’m writing this a few days before the season ends, before knowing whether or not something disastrous happens, forcing some two-way or three-way tie. But, to me, the move is a smashing success. Don’t get me wrong. I dislike MLB’s playoffs just as much as I love them. I agonize over the best-of-five NLDS. You can win 100 games in the regular season but be out after you lose three, perhaps only one at home. But I love that only 10 of the 30 teams make the playoffs, or 33 percent. More than 50 percent (16 out of 30) make both the NBA and NHL’s playoffs, a ludicrous number. In the NFL, 38 percent (12 out of 32) qualify, a more reasonable one sure, but the NFL is at an inherent advantage because they can get away with bye weeks. Selig chose to expand to 10 playoffs teams last year, adding a wild card in each league, again much to the chagrin of traditional baseball fans. Yes, I just complained about how a team can be eliminated after just three losses. Hardly fair after playing 162-game season. Well, now you can be eliminated after one. The caveat, though, is that can only happen to Wild Card teams, teams that shouldn’t be in the playoffs anyhow if our Dad’s controlled baseball. Anyhow, MLB now rewards division champs more than any other sport. And at the same time, they’ve made it possible for virtually every team to still be alive even when the all-star break ends. Take my Philadelphia Phillies for an example if you don’t believe me. No, they didn’t win the second Wild Card, but you can attribute that to playing average baseball over the past two weeks, not necessarily the horrendous ball played through June. Plus, it makes it that much harder for a Wild Card team to win their respective league. From 2002-07, a wild card team reached the World Series every year. Last year, the Cardinals won the whole thing after a red-hot September. The argument — albeit whiny — was mostly that Wild Card teams came into the postseason hotter than division winners. Still, one less home game was hardly an advantage. Now, Wild Card teams will have to play a win-or-go-home playoff game before moving on. They’ll probably have to throw their best pitcher before starting a short series against a well-rested team. Don’t like it? Then, win your division. And did I mention the added drama? I don’t know, maybe I like HBO programming too much, but the drama of a one-game playoff has me chomping at the bit and my team isn’t even playing in it — maybe that’s a good thing. Friday night will be a pure spectacle with the whole baseball world watching. Those winners will have to move to a new city and start a new series at a definite disadvantage on Sunday. Even if you don’t like it, it’s small potatoes compared to what the other three sports have gone through lately. And for that, we say thank you Bud, no matter how much it pains us to do so.

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. 1912 Red Sox Pitchers left to right: Larry Pape, Hugh Bedient, Buck O’Brien, Charley Hall, Ray Collins, Smoky Joe Wood 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 keynote 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 when it was a Red Sox affiliate in 1968-70. Richard John Berardino, born July 2, 1937, at Cambridge, Massachusetts, is currently a player development consultant for the Boston Red Sox of Major League Baseball. A former outfielder and longtime manager in minor league baseball, he also spent three years (1989–91) as a coach with the Red Sox. As a player, Berardino batted and threw right-handed, stood 6-foot-1 and weighed 190 pounds. A three-sport star at Watertown (Mass.) High School, Berardino graduated from the College of the Holy Cross in 1959 after leading the Crusaders to the 1958 NCAA District One baseball championship. He signed with the New York Yankees upon graduation and batted .378 in his first professional season with the Modesto Reds of the Class C California League. He reached Triple-A for three seasons (1962–64), playing for the Richmond Virginians, Indianapolis Indians and Spokane Indians, but never broke through to the major league level. All told, Berardino appeared in 812 minor league games, and batted .272 with 702 hits and 70 home runs. Berardino compiled a record of 753 wins and 858 losses (.467) with two championships in 21 seasons (1966–67; 1971–85; 1987–88; 1997–98) as a minor league manager. Nineteen of those 21 seasons were spent in short-season leagues. Berardino managed two full-season Class A clubs, the Greensboro Hornets of the South Atlantic League in 1987 and the Lynchburg Red Sox of the Carolina League the following season.

His managing career began in the Yankee organization, where he handled Rookielevel clubs in the Gulf Coast and Appalachian leagues. In 1968 Berardino joined the Red Sox organization as a minor league coach in Jamestown. 2012 marks his 45th consecutive year with Boston. From 1971 through 1985, he spent 15 consecutive seasons as the manager of the Red Sox' Short Season Class A New York-Penn League farm clubs, the Williamsport Red Sox and the Elmira Pioneers/Red Sox/Suns. He returned to the NY-PL a dozen years later, in 1997-98, as manager of the Lowell Spinners. In addition to his minor league managerial and coaching assignments, and his three years as bullpen and third-base coach on the staff of Joe Morgan in Boston, he also has served the Red Sox as field coordinator and assistant field coordinator of minor league instruction and roving outfield and baserunning coach. Berardino has been inducted into five different Hall of Fames — the Watertown (Mass.) Hall of Fame, the Holy Cross Hall of Fame, the Massachusetts State Baseball Coaches Hall of Fame, the Elmira (N.Y.) Hall of Fame, and most recently in 2008 became a member of the National ItalianAmerican Hall of Fame. 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 p.m. with the banquet to follow at 7. Tickets to the Oct. 20 Hugh Bedient Centennial Banquet are priced at $30 and are

available by calling “Mr. Baseball” Russ Diethrick at 665-2265, Falconer Highway Superintendent Sam Ognibene at 4500663, or Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame president Randy Anderson at 640-6219.

Inductee of the Month: George Hale George Hale was one of the best pitchers Chautauqua County ever produced. But Hale pitched horseshoes, not baseballs. Hale was born in South Stockton in 1917 and had been a Chautauqua County resident his entire life. His biggest honor in sports came in 1980 when he was inducted into the New York State Horseshoe Pitchers Hall of Fame. Hale competed in the state horseshoe tournament nearly 20 times and never finished worst than third in Class B, C and D. He won the title in Class B, one of the largest fields, in 1971 and 1975. Hale also competed in numerous national tournaments. In 1969 he won Class B in the DeSoto Open at Plant City, Fla. He also finished second in Class C of the Clearwater Fun 'n Sun Open and won two seconds in the Kinzua County Open Classic. Hale was president of the New York State Horseshoe Pitchers Association and a member of the board of directors of the Falconer Horseshoe Club. He was also a member of the Jamestown Rifle and Pistol Club and participated in shooting matches all over the state and also in Florida and Canada. He was a Chautauqua County Rifle League champion. When not pitching horseshoes, Hale was an avid bowler and golfer. He was the well-known operator of Hale's Sunoco Service in Jamestown. George Hale was inducted into the Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame in 1987. He died in 2002. George’s widow, Marilyn Hale, is a 1991 inductee of the Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame.

Europeans Storm Back To Claim Ryder Cup

As improbable of a victory as you can ﬁnd, Team Europe rallied from a 10-4 deﬁcit to claim the Ryder Cup 14 1/2 to 13 1/2 on a thrilling Sunday outside of Chicago. (AP Photo)

Seve Ballesteros. Olazabal walked down the row and hugged every player until he saved the longest embrace for Lee Westwood, the only player who was on that 1997 team when Ballesteros was the captain, the last visible role he played at the Ryder Cup. He died in May 2011 at age 54 of a brain tumor. Westwood, Garcia and Paul Lawrie were the only players on the '99 team that blew a 10-6 lead, and all of them won matches. “We wanted to see how they would react, and see if they could hold it,” Garcia said of the Americans. “And it was a combination of playing great, and maybe then that little bit of pressure getting to them.” The Americans were simply stunned. Three times they came to the 17th hole with a chance to win a match, only for Europe to deliver the key shots that win the Ryder Cup. Ian Poulter won the last two holes, and so did Rose, a birdie-birdie finish to beat Phil Mickelson. Garcia won the last two holes with pars to beat Jim Furyk. Furyk had beaten Garcia at Brookline in a pivotal match. “That was fun,” Furyk said. “This was pretty miserable.” If Kaymer had missed the putt and halved his match with Steve Stricker, the Americans would have been one point away from winning — with Tiger Woods in the fairway and 1 up over Francesco Molinari. Woods wound up missing a 3 1/2-foot par putt and conceded a par to the Italian from the same distance to halve their

MEDINAH, Ill. (AP) — Europe buried the memory of that American comeback at Brookline in 1999 with one that was even better. Medinah was filled with sheer madness Sunday, the matches so close for so much of the day that even when Martin Kaymer stood over a 6-foot par putt on the 18th hole to clinch it, the Ryder Cup was up in air. The putt was pure and the celebration was on. “It will go down in the history books of the Ryder Cup,” said European captain Jose Maria Olazabal. The size of the comeback was equal to what the Americans pulled off at The Country Club, but at least they had help from endless cheers of the home crowd. Not many gave Europe much of a chance until Justin Rose and Sergio Garcia turned what looked to be certain losses into improbable wins, filling the scoreboard with European blue. “What you did out there today was outstanding,” Olazabal told his team at the closing ceremony. “You believed and you delivered. And I'm very proud that you have kept Europe's hands on this Ryder Cup. All men die, but not all men live. And you made me feel alive again this week.” Then, Olazabal bowed his head and closed his eyes as they filled with tears, and the European fans sensed what was coming next. He didn't have to say a word. They said it for him. “Seve, Seve, Seve,” they began Continued on pg 10 to chant.

Big Week 6 Schedule Should Shake Up Top 25 By Ralph Russo Associated Press

Alabama is a unanimous No. 1 in the Top 25 for the first time this season, and LSU slipped a spot again after another sketchy performance. Now the Tigers are No. 4 behind No. 2 Oregon and No. 3 Florida State. With Stanford the lone team in the top 19 to lose, the top of the rankings had only some relatively minor shuffling Sunday. That will change next week, when five games feature matchups of ranked teams, including three with both teams ranked between Nos. 5-11. Call it the first shakedown Saturday of the season. No. 5 Georgia is at No. 6 South Carolina in a SEC East showdown that gives the winner the inside track — though far from a clear path — to the division title. Freshman tailbacks Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall and the Bulldogs are on pace to have one of the most prolific offenses in Southeastern Conference history, but the defense and special teams have been shaky. That nearly

cost them in a 51-44 victory Saturday against Tennessee. No. 4 LSU goes to No. 10 Florida, a crossover SEC matchup that should answer a key question in the national championship race: How worried should the Tigers be about their lethargic offense? In the Big 12, offense shouldn't be a problem when No. 8 West Virginia visits No. 11 Texas. The Mountaineers were ridiculous in Saturday's 70-63 victory against Baylor. Geno Smith threw for eight touchdowns. For the season, he's completed 83 percent of his passes while grabbing the

early lead in the Heisman Trophy race. No. 2 Oregon is home against No. 23 Washington, which is coming off a 17-13 victory against Stanford. In the Big Ten, No. 12 Ohio State hosts No. 21 Nebraska. Add to that No. 9 Notre Dame facing Miami (4-1) in Chicago, and No. 3 Florida State playing at North Carolina State, and there is no doubt the top 10 will look very different next Sunday — with one exception. Alabama is off, so No. 1 is most likely safe.

MOVING UP

It was only one spot, but Florida State's move to No. 3 gives the Seminoles their best ranking since they were No. 3 in the first week of November 2003. The Seminoles were a bit flat but effective in a 30-17 victory at South Florida. The biggest challenge for Florida State in the coming weeks will be staying focused enough to dodge the upset. The Atlantic Coast Conference has only one other ranked team right now, and the Seminoles have already dispatched Clemson. They do have to play at Miami (Oct. 20) and Virginia Tech (Nov. 8), and as always they finish the season against rival Florida of the SEC. The ACC championship game could rematch Florida State with the Hurricanes or Hokies. Fact is, of all the teams that look like national title contenders right now, Florida State has the most manageable schedule. Can the Seminoles take advantage?

Orioles End 15-Year Drought; Headed To Playoﬀs Contributed Article Associated Press

BALTIMORE (AP) — The champagne was on ice, plastic shields were in place above the cubicles in the Baltimore clubhouse and couches were removed to accommodate a celebration 15 years in the making. The party never happened — at least not at the ballpark after the Orioles beat Boston 6-3 Sunday. Baltimore ultimately clinched its first playoff berth since 1997, but not until late Sunday when the Texas Rangers beat the Los Angeles Angels 8-7 in the finale of a day-night doubleheader. The Orioles are assured a wildcard berth, but they're looking to get into the postseason as AL East champions. Upon arriving in Tampa area, where the Orioles open a seasonending series at the Rays on Monday night, manager Buck Showalter said, ''I think every-

body knows where the finish line is, and we're not there.'' He added, ''There are steps to it. One is assuring yourself of getting a chair at the dance. And then we'd like to figure out a way to play some games at our park in front of our fans. It's in our court.'' The Orioles remained tied atop the division standings with the New York Yankees, who rallied to beat Toronto 9-6 and also clinched no

worse than a wild-card berth. Both contenders have three games left. New York begins a season-ending series against visiting Boston on Monday night, and the Orioles face the Rays. ''We'll see where the next three games take us,'' Showalter said. After the final out of their win over the Red Sox, around two dozen players and coaches took scoreboard watching to a new level by staying on the field at Camden Yards and

rooting for the Rangers to win the opener. Orioles players exchanged high-fives and fist-bumps following their fourth straight victory, then gathered along the first-base line to watch the scoreboard telecast of the ninth inning, which began with Texas winning 4-3. Many in the crowd of 41,257 stood and watched, too. But a two-out, two-run double by Torii Hunter put the Angels in front and ruined the fun. As the Orioles walked off the field, Showalter waved to the crowd and offered a fist-pump of encouragement. Sitting in front of his locker with a beer in his hand, first baseman Mark Reynolds said, ''It would have definitely been cool to celebrate with our fans. They've been supporting us all year. To be able to celebrate out there with them and take in the moment, it would have been pretty neat.'' Continued on pg 10

Hurricanes Quickly Turn Page Toward Notre Dame By Tim Reynolds Associated Press

CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) — Stephen Morris had just set a slew of records and thrown a 62-yard pass to win a game in the final seconds, easily the highlight of his career as Miami's quarterback. He took only a few moments to enjoy it all. With good reason — Miami-Notre Dame week awaits. One of college football's best rivalries resumes on Saturday at Soldier Field in Chicago, when the Hurricanes (4-1) meet the ninth-ranked Fighting Irish (4-0), the start of a three-game series scheduled to resume with home-andhome meetings in 2016 and 2017. They last met in 2010, an unplanned matchup put together by the Sun Bowl, where the Irish rolled past a Miami team that was reeling after the firing of former coach Randy Shannon. “I've been waiting for this game since freshman year,” Morris said. “It's going to mean a lot to me and my family. It's going to mean a lot for this program. So we're going to make sure that we're ready for this game.”

son hit the back of the net and all of a sudden it was a onegoal game. But Shaughnessy finally broke after starting hot, which kept Jamestown in it for so long. Soo added a goal in the second and two more in the third to rout the Ironmen 6-2. It was a frustrating third period in itself, as Jamestown outshot the Eagles 17-9, but came up empty in the scoring column. It was the first set of games for Jamestown since a trade they made midway through last week. Jamestown dealt Jeff McFarland to Brookings in return for the defenseman Zink, who scored in his first ever game as a member of the Ironmen. Jamestown returns home for a pair of key divisional

games this weekend. They’ll play the Springfield Jr. Blues Friday (7:05 p.m.) and Saturday (5 p.m.) at Jamestown Savings Bank Arena. Springfield owns the league’s worst record — along with Minot — after losing four straight games at home the past two weekends against West Division opponents. It will be the Jr. Blues first games against the North Division, which they just joined during the past offseason. For Jamestown, figuring out the goaltender position and working on the power play are probably the two main concerns at this point. Mimmack was 3-0 with a save percentage at .929 before he faltered in Sault Ste. Marie and allowed three goals on three shots. He had been the hotter of the two

On Sunday, Milosek (5’10/175) was even better in Kalamazoo, as he made 34 saves in a 5-1 win. Milosek leads the NAHL in wins with seven. “Max has been so solid all year and really stabilizes our team. We have been outshot a number of times and he has kept us in there and gives us a chance to win every night. We would not be in 1st place if it weren’t for Max. He really stepped it up with the rivalry and games this weekend against Kalamazoo,” said Port Huron head coach Steve Shannon. 2nd Star: Michael Covach, forward, Soo Eagles Honorable Mention (alphabetical): Alex Baskakov, defenseman, Springfield Jr. Blues – Nate Chasteen, forward,

Week: Robert Nichols, goaltender, Wenatchee Wild Nichols, 20, was the glue behind Wenatchee’s weekend road sweep in Bismarck as the Wild remained perfect on the season. The Dallas, Texas native stopped a combined 31 of 32 shots over the weekend as the Wild shut down the Bismarck offense. On Friday, Nichols (5’10/177) had to make 14 saves in a 3-1 win. On Saturday, Nichols was set for a night off, but after two quick Bobcats goals, Nichols was put in goal and shut the door for the rest of the 56+ minutes stopping all 17 shots that came his way. Nichols has a perfect 5-0-0 record so far this season. “Robbie makes the saves we need him to make to keep us in games. He came in on Saturday and changed the momentum from the moment he got into the game. He is taking his success from last year and building upon it this year and we are excited to have him back in goal,” said Wenatchee head coach Bliss Littler. 2nd Star: Nick Hinz defenseman, Fairbanks Ice Dogs Honorable Mention (alphabetical): Chris Kerr, forward, Wenatchee Wild – Devin Loe, forward, Fairbanks Ice Dogs – Matt Seidel, forward, Kenai River Brown Bears.

2012 CHASE CONTENDERS Chase Chart Following the AAA 400 at Dover International Speedway

1. Brad Keselowski 2,142 (finished first) He stretched his fuel to the finish to win for the second time in three Chase races, but he insists it’s still early. “It feels great to win. I’m so proud of my team. But I can’t state loudly enough how much longer this battle is,” he said. 2. Jimmie Johnson -5 (finished fourth) He had taken command of the race as the laps wound down but had to back off to save fuel, which isn’t his strongest suit.“We have a handful of races that come down to [fuel mileage] each year, and we’ve worked to get better at it,” he said. 3. Denny Hamlin -16 (finished eighth) After starting from the pole, he had a car capable of finishing in the top three, but a late-race stop for fuel dropped him down in the running order. Still, he was upbeat about his Chase chances. “There’s nothing we can’t handle on the race track,” he said. 4. Clint Bowyer -25 (finished ninth) He and crew chief Brian Pattie weren’t happy after Dover, but Talladega is next, and they like that. “We’ll go to Talladega and hopefully shake them up there,” Pattie said.

Chris Economaki, 1920–2012

The ‘must read’

Veteran journalist covered auto racing for six decades

hen the current media center/press box at Indianapolis Motor Speedway was new, there were rows of work stations each with an electrical outlet, phone jack and high-speed Internet connection. But at one seat up front there was a station with a typewriter, where Chris Economaki could be found clacking away at another story for National Speed Sport News. His clacking on the typewriter was a familiar sound for years at race tracks large and small across America. Economaki, who died last week at 91, was the undisputed leader of the American motorsports journalist corps, and his publication was, during his time as editor, the “must read” paper for anyone associated with American auto racing. Economaki also had a distinguished career as a broadcaster. He was knowledgeable about the elite racing circuits, but also kept fully abreast of the goings on at the short tracks and smaller touring series that are the backbone of American auto racing. His Editor’s Notebook was by far the most-read article in National Speed Sport News, and in the days before the Internet he gleaned information from newspapers all across the country and passed along the most significant happenings, always crediting the reporter and paper that first published the news. He also befriended those reporters, took them under his wing and encouraged them in ways he likely never fully knew. When reporters would gather to reminisce, his stories about long-gone pioneers like Tommy Hinnershitz and Ted Horn were to be treasured, as they were direct links to

the sport’s earliest days. Economaki began hawking copies of National Speed Sport News at age 14 at local tracks and eventually held the position of editor for more than 60 years. He also worked as a track announcer and with ABC’s Wide World of Sports, as well as covering races for CBS and ESPN. Many a racing movie from back in the day includes clips of Economaki calling the action. Dick Berggren, a longtime announcer and journalist himself, said Economaki was “the most premier auto racing journalist who ever was and ever will be. We’ll never again see someone as incredibly diverse and successful at his craft.” Economaki is survived by his daughters Corinne and Tina and two grandchildren. The racing community also lost another beloved leader last week as Bob Newton, the founder of Hoosier Tire, passed away. Newton is remembered as a man who cared deeply for the sport of auto racing and its participants. His company had a brief run in NASCAR, with several drivers winning races on his tires, but most of his focus was on the other circuits in the motorsports world. Tony Stewart was among those offering remembrances of Newton. “If it weren’t for Bob and the company he built, guys like me never would’ve had the opportunity to do what we do, and I never would’ve had the opportunity to make it to NASCAR,” Stewart said in a statement. “No one cared more about racers than Bob. For decades, he’s been responsible for shaping short-track racing.”

BRIEFLY

Testing; Danica; HANS NASCAR is relaxing its restrictions on testing. For the first time since 2008, teams can test independently at tracks that host NASCAR’s top three divisions. Each Cup organization, no matter how many cars it fields, can test four times next season. The testing is in addition to the Preseason Thunder test at Daytona International Speedway the second week of January. Reports from Dover indicate that Danica Patrick will race next year with veteran crew chief Tony Gibson and the crew that has been paired with Ryan Newman. Newman’s new crew chief and crew members have yet to be determined. Simpson Performance Products, one of the leading manufacturers and distributors of racing safety equipment, has acquired HANS Performance Products, which builds HANS head-andneck-restraint devices worn by most racers these days. HANS Performance Products was formed in 1991 by fivetime IMSA driving champion Jim Downing and Dr. Robert Hubbard. The Atlanta-based company will be operated as a separate division of Simpson Performance Products and Downing and Hubbard will continue to provide engineering experience and support.

NOTEBOOK

5. Tony Stewart -32 (finished 20th) He was unlucky but still ran better than he usually does at Dover. “I don’t know what we’ve got to do to change our luck, but that’s just the story of the day for us,” he said. 6. Kasey Kahne -32 (finished 15th) He had plenty of fuel and a fast car at the end, but a mechanical issue followed by a pit road penalty put him three laps down at the end. “We were sitting really good because we had just pitted and topped off [the fuel tank],” he said. “It’s too bad whatever it was.” 7. Dale Earnhardt Jr. -39 (finished 11th) He had a so-so run, which isn’t good enough to win a championship. “Eleventh isn’t too bad if you want to run seventh in points, but if you want to try to win the championship ... you are going to have to win races,” crew chief Steve Letarte said. 8. Martin Truex Jr. -42 (finished sixth) He started third, faded early and bounced back. “We showed what we were made of, and battled,” he said. “We were just off at the beginning of the race.” 9. Kevin Harvick -46 (finished 13th) Three straight finishes between 11th and 13th have him more than a full race behind the leader in the points standings. “Our car wasn’t very good,” he said. “We made some good adjustments, [but] just couldn’t make up those two laps.” 10. Jeff Gordon -48 (finished second) After hitting the wall because of a stuck throttle at Chicagoland, he’s finished third at New Hampshire and second at Dover, but he’s lost one point to the leader in that span. “We’ve got seven more weeks to get it done,” he said. 11. Greg Biffle -51 (finished 16th) The points leader at the end of the regular season continues to drop in the standings and needs poor finishes by his competitors. “It’s pretty much a stretch for us right now,” he said.“We would have to have a lot of help at Talladega and a few other race tracks to try and leapfrog back in.” 12. Matt Kenseth -72 (finished 35th) He’s a lame duck at Roush Fenway Racing, and his cars keep breaking down on him. At Dover, the rear suspension broke. “Our performance hasn’t been very good either,” he said.

Dover, his first Nationwide Series pole, but finished 12th, his worst result in four career Nationwide starts. “Every race we have a car better than where we finish,” he said. “I’m the world’s worst on restarts. “I’ll figure it out someday, hopefully, so we’ll maintain our spot and go forward instead of coming backwards and then going forward.” But he said that overall he was pleased with his performance. “We kept the car in one piece, and we finished the race on the lead lap, but bummed we broke our top-10 streak,” he said.

Talladega could be‘wild card’ This weekend’s Good Sam 500 at Talladega Superspeedway is one many Chase drivers dread, as one of the multi-car crashes that typically occur there could ruin a championship run. On the other hand, it could bring back into contention some who have fallen behind. Clint Bowyer, winner of the past two fall races at Talladega, said Sunday’s race definitely will be the “wild card” race of this year’s Chase. “Things are so tight right now and the competition is so close, it’s literally a point or two here and a point or two there that’s shaking up the Chase right now,” he said. “That race can shake things up in a big way. It can propel you to the lead or bury you. It’s one of those races that I kind of look forward to. I’ve won a couple times there and enjoy it, but I also know what can happen there, too.”

Annett:‘We keep getting better’

Nationwide Series driver Michael Annett tied his career-best finish by running third last Saturday at Dover International Speedway behind race winner Joey Logano and runner-up Paul Menard. But he said this third-place run meant more to him than the one he got earlier this year at Daytona, where the draft and the mad scrambles at the end can produce surprise finishes. “To get [a third] on a track where you really have to earn it is pretty cool and a testament to our team that we’re still getting better,” he said. “We didn’t level off there and be happy with consistent top 10s; we want these top fives and we just keep getting better.”

And he said he’s getting close to that breakthrough victory. “If you get yourself in the first three rows of a late-race restart, then you have a chance for a win and that’s what we did,” he said. “Obviously we’re still looking for that first win, but I just said that we’re still getting better while a lot of teams are leveling out. “

Wallace ends top-10 streak Darrell Wallace had another strong run in the No. 20 Toyota from Joe Gibbs Racing. The Drive for Diversity participant started from the pole at

Kurt Busch, who announced last week that he’ll move from James Finch’s No. 51 Chevrolet to the No. 78 Furniture Row Chevrolet now driven by Regan Smith, disputed those who have called his move a lateral one. “That is a slap in the face to [Furniture Row owner] Barney Visser,” Busch told reporters at Dover. “He has put together a program that is tiers above … just different levels of competition above where James Finch is.” He said Finch, who fields cars built and powered by Hendrick Motorsports, is running obsolete equipment. “The No. 51, we are running equipment that is four years old,” he said. “It’s very obvious to me on why this is not a lateral move.” Busch also said that he expects to work closely with Richard Childress Racing, which supplies cars and engines to Furniture Row Racing. “You are going to see a No. 29 car, a No. 31, a No. 27 [all Childress entries] and you’re going to see a No. 78 work together as one,” he said. Busch is set to take over the No. 78 at Charlotte next week.

Fredonia State Sports Information

FREDONIA, N.Y. — Fredonia State scored twice during a four-minute span of the first half and made the goals count Saturday for a 2-0 SUNYAC win over Buffalo State on Homecoming Day at University Stadium. Jay Dry put in a header off a pass from Tyler Wililams at 18:56. Mike Biggane then booted a rebound into the far right corner at 22:15. It was the first goal of the season for both Blue Devils, who improved to 2-1 in the SUNYAC. They are 3-9 overall. Mike Schreiner made five

saves in order to post his second shutout of the season. Buffalo State's Ian Huntoon was credited with three saves. The loss dropped the Bengals to 0-2-1 in the SUNYAC, 1-8-

1 overall. Last Wednesday, the team dropped a 3-1 decision to the Westminster (Pa.) Titans. Westminster built a 3-0 lead before senior Ryan Smith

ended the Titans' shutout bid. Smith connected on a header at the 73:23 mark for his third goal of the season. Westminster (6-2-1) got on the board quickly, scoring its first goal at the 1:40 mark on a breakaway shot by Ethan McCarthy. The Titans' second goal came in the 37th minute, with the final Westminster score coming 1:15 into the second half. Sophomore goalkeeper A.J Grecco recorded five saves for the Devils. The Blue Devils return to action with a pair of SUNYAC road games next weekend. They face Oswego at 4 p.m. Friday and Cortland at 1 p.m. Saturday.

Shorthanded Bonnies Defeat Siena In Physical Match Contributed Article

St. Bonaventure Sports Information

ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. — The St. Bonaventure men's soccer team (2-8) defeated Siena (4-5) Sunday afternoon 1-0 in a rainy and physical match. The Bonnies controlled the field for much if the first half and early in the second half. While SBU was able to get off 10 shots in the first half, it was relatively unable to generate any threatening chances to score. SBU Junior Kaine Moar had a ball deflected off the keepers hands and just over the cross bar in the seventh minute but that was as close as either team would come to scoring in the first half. The Bona defense led by walkon goalkeeper Abel Bautista allowed Siena to get off just four shots in the first half.

Playing a man down for the last 15 minutes of the game, the Bonnies were awarded a penalty kick, which was scored by Brad Vanino, giving St. Bonaventure a 1-0 win over Siena. (St. Bonaventure Sports Information Photo)

It became apparent that this match would be a physical one as well when the foul tally was at 16 already at halftime. Once the second half got underway, the Bonnies were unable to sustain any offensive pressure. Siena was able to force three corner kicks in the first five minutes but were unable to capitalize. Bautista would make six saves

just in the second half and eight overall to ultimately preserve the shutout, his second since taking over in goal Sept. 16. The cards started to roll in late in the second half as both teams picked up the physicality in an effort to gain an advantage. Tom Allen of Siena picked up the second yellow card of the game in the 75th minute. Then just over

a minute later, SBU defender Garrett Pasono picked up a hard red card for fighting. This would force the Bonnies to play a man down for the remainder of the contest. The SBU bench would receive a card as well in the aftermath. In the 79th minute it was SBU forward and Ajax, Ontario native Emmett O'Connor who would generate the best scoring chance of the day for the Bonnies. O'Conner worked the ball down the left sideline before using some fancy footwork to beat his defender on the end line and push his way into the box before being taken down by a Siena defender. The Bonnies would be awarded a penalty kick for the foul in the box. Junior Brad Vanino would take the kick and capitalize for his second goal of the 2012 season, giving the Bonnies the late 1-0 lead. Continued on pg 9

Guevara Undefeated for Bonnies in SBU Fall Classic Contributed Article

St. Bonaventure Sports Information

ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. — Luis Guevara's unbeaten record highlighted the St. Bonaventure men's tennis team's performance in the SBU Fall Classic. The three-day event finished with championship day on Sunday, and Guevara was the big winner for the Bonnies. The senior went a combined 6-0 in singles and doubles matches against competitors from Niagara and Roberts Wesleyan. Guevara finished off his perfect weekend by topping Niagara's Brandon Gallegos, 8-7, in singles action. The native of Venezuela then partnered with fellow senior Oscar

Yanez for an 8-4 triumph over the Purple Eagles' David Raymond and Olivier DufourCoursol. Behind their 3-0 weekend, Guevara and Yanez improved to 5-1 in doubles matches this season. Elliot Fanshel also was undefeated in three singles matches during the tournament for the Bonnies. The junior finished off his championship weekend with an 8-7 victory over Niagara's Raymond on Sunday. Fanshel also teamed with freshman Celso de Vera Rehberger for an 8-6 win over Niagara's Gallegos and Matt Bojanowski in doubles play.

Ortiz and Mihai Ene chipped in singles victories for St. Bonaventure on Sunday. Yanez, who won two of three matches over the weekend, defeated Roberts Weslyan's Julio Toledo-Lopez, 8-5. Haskell won both of his matches in the tournament, finishing with an

8-0 victory on Sunday. Meanwhile, Ortiz topped Niagara's Emmanuel Lacasse, 8-6, and Ene downed the Purple Eagles' Mike Mucci, 8-6. De Vera Rehberger, who fell to Roberts Wesleyan's Charlie Farres on Sunday, went 2-1 over the weekend in singles

with Nebraska, Michigan and Michigan State. Still, the combined record of Northwestern's opponents is 6-14 after it beat Indiana 44-29 behind quarterback Kain Colter's four touchdowns rushing. Next up for the Wildcats, who don't play either Wisconsin or Ohio State from the Leaders division: at Penn State. No. 23 Washington also moved into the rankings for the first time this season, and No. 25 UCLA was back in after a week out.

Falling out after losses were Michigan State and Baylor, which became the first team to score 63 points and fall out of the rankings. Boise State dropped out after a 32-29 victory at New Mexico.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL continued from pg 4 dropping the Cardinal 10 spots in the poll to No. 18. So how good are the post-Andrew Luck Cardinal? This is a team that struggled to beat San Jose State, couldn't muster any offense against Washington, but manhandled USC. Dig deep and the USC game looks like an outlier. Stanford's power running game has sputtered to 3.9 yards per carry as opponents show little respect for new quarterback Josh Nunes and his less-thanreliable receivers.Take away the

202-yard rushing performance against the Trojans, and Stanford is averaging 3.3 yards per carry against San Jose State, Duke and Washington.

IN AND OUT

No. 24 Northwestern is ranked for the first time since the last regular-season poll of the 2008 season. How seriously should we take the Wildcats? Given the state of the Big Ten, there's no reason to think they can't contend for a Legends Division title

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — For one night, fans in a hockeystarved city got a chance to see a game, and it didn't feature any of the NHL players who are currently locked out. Ryan Fitzgerald had three assists to help Team McClanahan beat Team Housley 5-2 on Saturday night in the inaugural USA Hockey All-American Prospects Game showcasing players who eligible for the 2013 NHL draft. Evan Allen scored both goals for Team Housley in front of a crowd of 5,519 fans who were able to forget — at least for a while — that the NHL and its players were still negotiating to end their two-week old impasse, which has so far wiped out the entire pre-season schedule. The teams were named after their coaches, Phil Housley and Rob McClanahan, both of whom played for the Buffalo Sabres. Housley was inducted into the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame in 2004, and McClanahan was a member of the 1980 ''Miracle on Ice'' U.S. Olympic champion team. ''It's cool that people pay attention to us a little more,'' said Hudson Fasching, who opened the scoring with 4 minutes left in the first period. ''It's still a scrimmage and you're playing with guys you're used to playing with.'' Fitzgerald, the MVP of the game, responded to those who criticized about his decision to play for a junior team in Massachusetts instead of going to the National Team Development Program. ''There were questions if I can play with the big boys out

here,'' said Fitzgerald, whose father Tom played 17 NHL seasons. ''This is a pretty big stepping stone and I think I did a good job.'' Team McClanahan starting goalie Cal Petersen stopped all seven shots he faced, while Evan Cowley made a game-high 15 saves. Eamon McAdam allowed the first three goals and Hunter Miska yielded two for Team Housley. The game also attracted representatives from virtually all 30 NHL teams, whose jobs are not impacted by the lockout. Junior leagues, colleges, and minor leagues are not subject to the labor disputes. ''Whether we're playing or not, there's plenty to do and plenty of hockey to watch,'' Toronto Maple Leafs president and general manager Brian Burke said. ''We place great value on a showcase like this, where it's best-on-best. And it's no All-Star Game, there's a lot of hitting out there.'' Team McClanahan jumped out to a 4-0 lead with a threegoal second period. Seth Jones, the son of former NBA player Popeye Jones, made it 2-0 on a slap shot from the right point 6 minutes into the second. Jacob Montgomery took a lead pass in the slot and scored on a backhander two minutes later. Quentin Shore scored with 5 minutes left in the period, swatting in a rebound from beside the net. Allen spoiled the shutout bid, redirecting a rebound from the slot after Cowley made an initial save 6 minutes into the third period. Midway through the period, Dakota Mermis made it 5-1 on a snap shot. Allen scored his second on another rebound, this one on the power play with 6 minutes left.

NEW YORK (AP) — The NHL and the players' association met for a third straight day Sunday, and again avoided the troublesome money issues that are fueling the ongoing lockout. ''We did not discuss core economic issues, as was the plan,'' NHLPA special counsel Steve Fehr said after meeting for five hours with the NHL. ''We discussed health and safety, drug testing, including more discussion of drug testing, medical care etc. Also a number of things in the CBA legal area of player movements.'' The drug policy was a key component of talks Friday when the sides got together for the first time since the NHL imposed the lockout on Sept. 16. On Saturday, the sides focused on clarifications of definitions of what makes up hockeyrelated revenue — a pot that exceeded $3 billion. ''It was a productive day. We made some progress in some areas,'' Fehr said Sunday. ''I would say it's good that we were talking. It's true that we could've done this last week or a week before or a week before that, but it's a lot better than doing it three weeks from now.'' Because of difficulty in finding

common ground on how to split up that money, the league and union instead concentrated all weekend on secondary issues that will also be included in any new agreement. ''I hate to sound like a broken record, but we need some movement on the economic issues. We need some movement on the system issues,'' NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly said. ''We need them to be scheduled as the subject of a meeting, and right now the union is not prepared to do that.'' Negotiations on Sunday were conducted at the league office without NHLPA Executive Director Donald Fehr and NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman. They met privately Friday and Saturday, away from the other

group negotiations. ''I think that may demonstrate more than anything else the nature of the issues we're talking about,'' Daly said about the absences of Bettman and Donald Fehr. ''We're really talking about kind of micro issues, issues we deal with on a day-to-day basis that don't necessarily rise to the commissioner's level or the executive director's level. ''So they will be at the table when we're talking about the issues that are really going to get this deal done or not.'' There was a thought that talks might continue Monday, but that doesn't seem likely as the NHL wants to meet internally with its clubs before getting back together with the play-

''We covered a lot of things over the last three days,'' Daly said. ''We both have a lot of homework projects to do and drafts we owe each other on certain things. We think (Monday) would be best used for that purpose. ''What we did today, and the last two days, I don't think any of that is going to get a deal done. But they are all necessary elements of the deal.'' There is no timetable for talks to resume, but Tuesday is a possibility. The entire preseason slate of games was canceled by the NHL on Thursday, and regular-season games — scheduled to begin Oct. 11 — could soon be called off, too. The NHL canceled the entire 2004-05 season because of a lockout that eventually led to the collective bargaining agreement that expired this month. By working on secondary agreements now, the sides are ahead of where they were back in 2005 when a deal was finally finished. ''All the stuff we've done the last three days were things we did after we had resolved the economic issues, and this one is not playing out that way,'' Daly said. ''We'll have to see how it plays out.''

NHL Announces Cancellation Of Remaining Preseason Games Contributed Article Buffalo Sabres

BUFFALO, N.Y. — The National Hockey League announced the cancellation of the remainder of the 2012 preseason schedule. 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 three remaining Buffalo Sabres preseason games have been cancelled, including the Sat. Oct. 6 game against the Columbus Blue Jackets at First Niagara Center. The Sabres will continue to maintain contact with all season ticket holders and mini pack holders regarding the work stoppage and ticket

early in the third quarter on Fitzpatrick's 68-yard touchdown pass to Donald Jones. The Patriots responded by scoring on each of their final seven possessions, capped by Stephen Gostkowski's 30-yard field goal with 1:56 remaining. ''It's one that will hang with us,'' Fitzpatrick said. ''You try to block it out with Chan's 24hour rule and all that, and you hope it doesn't linger into the next game.'' The collapse by the defense was monumental. Buffalo had never given up 45 points in one half. The four touchdowns rushing were the most the Bills have allowed at home since giving up four against Baltimore on Nov. 13, 1977, according to STATS Inc. And the Patriots became only the second NFL team to have two players with 100 yards receiving — Wes Welker (129) and Rob Gronkowski (106) — and two with 100 yards rushing — Brandon Bolden (137) and Stevan Ridley (106). ''Next game, that's the mood,'' defensive tackle Marcell Dareus said. ''No setback. Just got to move forward. Things happen, you know, a tale of two halves.'' Gailey dismissed a question of how the Bills have now given up 100 points in two games against division foes. ''You can throw statistics and numbers out all you want,'' he said. ''I'm more concerned about how we play, the intensity and quality of play than I am the numbers that are thrown out there right now. Our quality of play is not where it needs to be.''

being escorted to the locker room for tests. Safety Jairus Byrd, who forced two fumbles, did not return after hurting his hip in the second half. Gailey didn't have an update on Byrd's status. Receiver Donald Jones, who

scored on a 68-yard touchdown catch, and tight end Scott Chandler, who scored twice, did not return after taking blows to the head in the second half. Gailey called the injuries to Jones and Chandler as appearing to be minor. The injuries come as the Bills (2-2) enter the toughest stretch of their schedule in which they'll play four of their next five games on the road. It starts with a West Coast swing in which Buffalo will play San Francisco and Arizona over the next two weekends. Patriots linebacker Dont'a Hightower did not return after hurting his hamstring in the first half. Coach Bill Belichick declined to provide an update following the game.

49ers Defense Dominates Again In Shutout Of Jets

sibly can,'' Bowman said. ''We work on it every single day. We see where we end up and go into the game with that type of mindset.'' 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh isn't keeping track of turnovers in practice, though he loves the intense competition by his players leading up to games — and he's certainly thrilled that his defense delivered once again with an interception and forced the New York Jets into three lost fumbles in Sunday's 34-0 win at the Meadowlands. ''It's the practice of the fundamentals of recovering footballs, diving on mistakes, clubbing, ripping, jarring the ball loose,'' Harbaugh said Monday

of what goes into the preparation. ''They treat each other with a great amount of respect, which I've always admired about our team. They enjoy the competition. It's competitive

but not self-centered.'' The dominant performance by defensive coordinator Vic Fangio's crew kept the Jets out of the red zone all day, and further established the 49ers (3-1)

as one of the NFL's elite teams even after that blip at Minnesota in a 24-13 Week 3 loss. Harbaugh said the 49ers had prepared for Tim Tebow's signature jump pass even though New York had yet to run it, so San Francisco had no film of the play. In New York's first drive of the second quarter, Tebow completed a 9-yard pass to Dedrick Epps, who wound up fumbling as safety Dashon Goldson forced it and recovered. It was the first turnover of three in a four-series stretch by the Jets. The Buffalo Bills will try to clean things up in a hurry to avoid another ugly loss Sunday when they

visit Candlestick Park. They committed six turnovers and blew a 14-point third-quarter lead in losing 52-28 at home to Tom Brady and the New England Patriots on Sunday. Harbaugh's defense will be ready to pounce on any error. ''That was a gem our defense turned in,'' Harbaugh said, back in the Bay Area for the first time in more than a week after practicing in eastern Ohio ahead of Sunday's game. ''Every guy played within the framework of the defense, playing their ace they had individually.'' Mark Sanchez threw an interception and lost a fumble. He Continued on pg 10

Good Action For Opening Day Of Bow Season By Steve Peacock Star Outdoors Writer

Monday was the bow season opener and I was out there before the sun. I saw some deer but I wasn’t able to hang my tag on any of them. I still consider it a good hunt even though I didn’t get one. The weather was beautiful and there were some deer on the move. I usually consider the first few outings to be more scouting

than hunting. So any action during those first couple of hunts is a bonus. Having a good first hunt of the season is a good way to get into a hunting frame of mind. However I don’t want to give up on the fishing just yet. There is still plenty of time to get onto Lake Erie before the snow flies. I hear that the perch are still biting. A friend of mine out of Sturgeon Point caught 35 on Saturday. I also want to do some steelhead fishing before the weather

turns too cold. It is going to be a while before the tributaries have enough water to support any fish. I hate to say it but, it is going to take a lot of rain to bring the creeks up. Even in the Cattaraugus Creek where there is always enough water for the fish, I haven’t heard of anyone catching steelhead. So I probably won’t be chasing any Steel head until the weather turns a bit cooler and we get several days of rain.

Gowanda Chamber Of Commerce Hosting Fishing Tournament Contributed Article Gowanda Chamber

The third annual Gowanda Area Chamber of Commercesponsored Fall Fishing Tournament will be held Saturday, Oct. 20 in Cattaraugus Creek. Sign-in gets under way at 5 a.m. at the Gowanda Moose Club on Aldrich Street. The tournament begins at sunrise. (One-day fishing licenses will be available from 5 to 7 a.m. at the Persia Town Hall.)

ARE THE BILLS READY FOR THE 49ERS? continued from pg 9 was sacked by Aldon Smith late in the first half and fumbled, with Justin Smith recovering. That play gave the 49ers another chance before halftime, and David Akers kicked a 36yard field goal to make it 10-0. New York's longest drive was 30 yards — to open the game — and it ended in a punt. Sanchez finished his disappointing day 13 for 29 for 103 yards and an interception with three sacks, and a dismal 39.9

quarterback rating. ''Defensively, we knew how we came and played last week,'' cornerback Carlos Rogers said. ''Coach Vic talked this week and told us to play 49ers ball and play how we should play. Did we imagine a shutout? No, but we finished plays, got turnovers, and got off the field on third down. We got some gifts on defense and we got in the end zone.'' Rogers, who shared the team

lead with six interceptions last season, recovered a fumble by Santonio Holmes after the receiver's short catch on the first play of the fourth quarter and returned it 51 yards for a touchdown. Holmes injured his foot on the play. Rogers also recovered another fumble. He scored his first career touchdown off a fumble recovery and third ever. The 49ers made keeping their defense together a top priority

RYDER CUP continued from pg 4 match. That extra half-point made it a clear-cut win for Europe, 14 1/2-13 1/2. Woods and Stricker, the anchors in the lineup, didn't win a single match at Medinah. “This one is for all of Europe,” Olazabal said. “Seve will always be present with this team. He was a big factor for this event for the European side, and last night when we were having that meeting, I think the boys understood that believing was the most important thing. And I think they did.” Poulter was the first to embrace Olazabal, which was only fitting. It was Poulter who gave Europe hope Saturday evening when he made five straight birdies to turn a loss into a win and swing momentum in Europe's favor. Poulter was up to his fist-pumping, eye-bulging tricks again on the final day, winning the last two holes in his match against U.S. Open champion Webb Simpson. And he had plenty of help. Europe's top five players in the lineup all won, including Rory McIlroy, who was lucky to be playing. McIlroy thought his match was at 12:25 p.m. — it was listed in Eastern time, not Central — and needed a police escort to get to the course

with 10 minutes to spare. Then, he came up with key birdies to hand Keegan Bradley his first loss of the week. The biggest match might have belonged to Rose. He was on the verge of losing to Mickelson when Rose holed a 12-foot par putt to halve the 16th, made a 35-foot birdie putt from the back of the 17th green to win the hole, and then closed out Mickelson with a 12-foot birdie on the last hole. Six of the 12 matches went to the 18th hole on Sunday. The Americans won only one of them. “Today was certainly not what we expect,” U.S. captain Davis Love III said. Love became the first U.S. captain to sit every player at least once before Sunday, wanting them to be fresh for the decisive day. Instead, the Americans faltered at the end — especially Furyk and Stricker, two of his captain's picks. The only U.S. points came from Dustin Johnson, who went 3-0 in this Ryder Cup, Zach Johnson and unheralded Jason Dufner. “We're all kind of stunned,” Love said. “We know what it feels like now from the '99 Ryder Cup. It's a little bit shocking. We were playing

during the offseason. All 11 starters from last season's 13-3 team returned, though linebacker Parys Haralson was lost for the season early last month with a torn left triceps muscle. The Niners had 38 takeaways during the 2011 regular season to only 10 turnovers. Their plus-28 turnover differential matched the 2010 Patriots for the second-best mark in NFL history since 1941. This opportunistic defense

Known for its steelhead trout, the “Catt” promises many exciting opportunities for anglers of all ages to land a trophy fish. This is a catch-and-release event, follows DEC rules and regulations, and tournament personnel will be situated on the banks of the creek to measure and weigh each catch.

prides itself on wreaking havoc from every direction, from so many positions and faces. That keeps any offense guessing with so many defenders who can change the momentum just like that. San Francisco managed its first shutout on the road since Jan. 6, 2002, at New Orleans, limiting the Jets to just 145 total net yards of offense — the Niners' lowest total net yards allowed since giving up

only 109 on Jan. 3, 2010, at St. Louis. ''We were able to get pressure on (Sanchez), make his throws hard, and get sacks. I think we did a good job,'' said Aldon Smith, whose 14 sacks last season were a 49ers rookie record. ''After the last game, some people questioned us. We know what we are capable of. We are a good defense that plays well together.''

POSTSEASON FOR BALTIMORE continued from pg 4 so well, we figured it didn't matter how we sent them out there. We got a couple of matches flipped there in the middle that cost us.” It was a collapse the Americans won't soon forget. Just 24 hours earlier, they had a 10-4 lead with two team matches still on the course — they were ahead in one of them, while Woods and Stricker were closing in on the other. It's hard to believe they would only win 3 1/2 points the rest of the way. Europe came out fast, and for McIlroy, that started at his hotel. He was leisurely heading out of the hotel — thinking that his tee time was an hour later than it was — when he got a frantic call to tell him his match was in 25 minutes. McIlroy was lucky to run into the police, who helped him get to Medinah with enough time to change his shoes, take a few putts and head to the tee box. He never trailed in his match, making two straight birdies late to knock off Bradley. “It's my own fault,” McIlroy said. “If I let down these 11 other boys and vice captains and captains this week, I would never forgive myself. I'm just obviously happy to get the point and help the cause out a little bit today.”

Baltimore held out hope of cracking open a few cases of champagne in Florida. ''I take particular enjoyment in ruining someone else's clubhouse,'' reliever Darren O'Day said. Shortstop J.J. Hardy added, ''I'm not going to say there's no disappointment, but we all understand we need to keep playing good baseball to get where we want to be. We'll just worry about ourselves and win the next three games.'' Who'd have thought the Orioles would be talking about division titles, playoff berths and champagne after 14 consecutive losing seasons and four straight last-place finishes? The Orioles (92-67) already have 23 more wins than a year ago. ''Our goal now is try to figure out a way to play some more baseball games here at Camden,'' Showalter said. ''Hopefully, it's see you later.'' Hardy, Nate McLouth and Chris Davis hit solo homers, and Jim Thome drove in two runs for Baltimore. The Orioles completed a sweep and went 13-5 against Boston,

their most wins in a single season versus the Red Sox since 1970 (13-5). Joe Saunders (3-3) allowed three runs, eight hits and no walks in 7 1-3 innings for Baltimore. Obtained in a late-August trade with Arizona, Saunders has yielded a total of 12 earned runs in his last six starts. Jim Johnson worked the ninth for his 50th save. Cody Ross and Daniel Nava homered for the last-place Red Sox, who have dropped five straight and 16 of 22. Boston (69-90) last lost 90 games in 1966. ''We haven't had a good season,'' manager Bobby Valentine acknowledged. Zach Stewart (0-2) gave up five runs and seven hits, including two homers, in 2 2-3 innings. In three starts this season he's surrendered eight home runs. After being beaten and bashed by the Orioles, who hit seven homers in the three-game series, the Red Sox now head to Yankee Stadium. A sunny, breezy fall afternoon couldn't have started much better for the Orioles. After

the video board showed the Yankees and Angels losing early, McLouth hit the fourth pitch from Stewart over the left-field wall. ''After that just trying to do damage control,'' Stewart said. ''Try to keep it at that score. Obviously I didn't do that.'' Hardy and Davis followed with singles before Stewart hit Jones with a pitch to load the bases. After Matt Wieters bounced into a run-scoring 4-6-3 double play, Thome followed with grounder up the middle that beat the shift and rolled into the outfield, scoring Davis for a 3-0 lead. Boston wasted doubles in the second and third innings before Hardy led off the bottom of the third with his 22nd home run. Jones singled with one out, and Thome chased Stewart with an RBI single. Ross homered in the fourth to get the Red Sox to 5-1. Davis connected off Clayton Mortensen in the fifth, his 31st homer of the season and fourth in four games. Nava homered in the seventh with a man on.

MIAMI PREPARES FOR NOTRE DAME continued from pg 4 be business as usual,” Golden said. “I want to see us improve, take care of business every day and just trust the process. And we've got to get healed up. This is our fourth road game in six weeks so we've got to get healed up and healthy and get ready for obviously a great Notre Dame team in Chicago.” The win over N.C. State was costly to Miami, which lost offensive lineman Ben Jones — a fifth-year senior who had particularly impressed coaches over the past couple weeks — to a foot injury. He will not play against Notre Dame, Golden said.

Miami has lost six of its last seven games against Top 10 opponents, and Notre Dame would seem to have two clear luxuries at play here. One, the Irish were off this weekend, and two, Chicago is a whole lot closer to South Bend than it is to Coral Gables. The Hurricanes say they accept those, and any other challenges. “Lot of tradition,” said Miami receiver Phillip Dorsett, who has caught 16 passes for 375 yards in the past two weeks alone, both wild wins for the Hurricanes. “I've been following this team ever since I was born. So as a team, we're look-

ing forward to it and we've just got to get ready.” Miami has put up more than 600 yards of offense in each of its last two games, scoring a combined 86 points in those wins over Georgia Tech and N.C. State. The Hurricanes have needed just about every bit of those offensive exploits; their defense has yielded 1,083 yards and 73 points over that stretch. By comparison, Notre Dame is allowing nine points per game, and none of the last three Irish opponents have gained even 300 yards. “As you can imagine, as coaches, we kind of live in a perfect world and in a consistent world,” Golden said Sunday. “And we're anything but consistent right now. So that contrast or that dichotomy has been interesting to negotiate. But when they're playing as hard as they're playing, and they're resilient as they are, it is fun to coach. They play hard. They're nowhere near flawless, to say the least. But they keep competing.”

Insider By T.J. TOMASI

IT’S GOOD FOR YOUR GAME

BIRDIES AND BOGEYS

Why practice makes perfect

Shark-shank contention

There’s one big advantage to being a rich, retired superstar who’s afraid of no man (and only a few women). He can answer a question honestly without having to use politically correct doublespeak. So when a Fox Sports reporter asked him about the Tiger vs. Rory battle to be The Man, Greg Norman said, “What I’m seeing is that Tiger’s really intimidated by Rory.” And the Shark should know, since he replaced The Man named Nicklaus, and in turn was replaced by Tiger. In the humdrum world of quotes like, “I’m going to go out there and just play my game,” this callout is a bombshell. Insider Take: I think the Shark shanked one here. Rory may be playing well currently, but I don’t see Tiger being intimidated. Tiger’s still more famous, has many more bucks and when they both play their best, it’s a toss-up that goes to the one putting the best. Tiger’s not intimidated, but McIlroy has definitely got his attention. SCIENCE SAYS

Golf’s learning curve is steep for novices For beginners, golf presents a challenge. It is definitely a game that must be taught in order to learn it. And physical therapist Jeff Banaszak tells us what science says about why golf is so hard to learn initially. All human motion is in three planes, and if you know the proper mix needed to play golf, it makes the game much easier to learn. 1. The frontal plane is lateral, or side-toside motion parallel to the target line or ball. You’re moving in this plane when your hips shuttle toward the target to start the downswing. 2. Front-to-back movement is in the sagittal plane and includes the spine dipping toward or away from the ball. For the most part, we live in a sagittal, straight-ahead world dominated by the most common of motions — bending and walking. 3. Motion along the transverse plane occurs when you rotate your body. Since golfers need to be taught to spend the most time in the transverse plane, you could say a golfer’s world is a transverse world and this goes counter to our sagittal bias. (For more, read “Golf Biomechanic 101: Relating the Swing to the Cardinal Planes of Motion” by Jeffrey S. Banaszak at back9fitness.com.)

ABOUT THE WRITER The practice swing is free, and if done correctly, it gives you two advantages: (1) it’s an instant preDr. T.J. play — a pre-swing mulligan, and (2) it gives you Tomasi is a teaching a perfect prompt for your actual swing. professional Located throughout your body are tiny sensors that in Port St. report to your brain what is going on in their district Lucie, Fla. Visit his — what the joints are doing, what’s happening in the website at stretch receptors in the muscles, how much force is tjtomasi.com. being applied as you hold your golf posture, etc. For a brief time after you make any movement, a trace of it, in the form of electrical impulses, lingers in your sense memory. Swing a weighted club and it leaves a trace in your sensory tracking system that makes your driver feel incredibly light. Likewise, a perfect practice swing leaves a trace that will remain long enough to cue up your real swing. The key is to let the trace be the teacher. To extract maximum benefit from your rehearsal, the practice swing must be an exact replica of the swing you are about to make, and you must acknowledge its power to control your actual swing, then make a total commitment to it. Most poor golfers fail to do either the physical or mental rehearsal correctly. Better golfers often perform the physical practice swing correctly, but not the mental commitment. The best golfers most often perform them both correctly, and so the full power of the trace as teacher is available to them on every shot. THREE ELEMENTS OF A PERFECT REHEARSAL First, always take the same number of rehearsal swings for every shot. Doing the same thing each time is what makes a routine routine. Second, images cue motor responses, so fill your brain with the image of your shot by rehearsing your swing exactly as you see it in your mind. Third, be certain that you rehearse at the same swing speed and tempo necessary to send the ball to the target. Insider Takeaway: Don’t waste a practice swing by making a motion that doesn’t track exactly what you are about to do.

This golfer performs the physical part of the rehearsal swing correctly. He’s doing a nice job on this delicate lob from the rough. Note the low hands/high clubhead finish that prevents him from rolling his forearms.

The actual swing doesn’t look at all like his rehearsal. Due to a faulty mental routine, he overrides the good effects of the trace by making his usual jab stroke that ends in a low, flappy finish.

TEEING OFF

Accentuate the positive

Running your golf brain effectively is not about completely forgetting your bad play. It’s about handling your response to it so you can learn from your mistakes. Remember that playing your best golf is a process, and as such, it has its ups and downs. When you’re playing well, you think you’ll never play badly again, and when you’re playing badly, you’re sure you’ll never play well again. Neither one is true! While you should give yourself permission to acknowledge bad golf memories, you should also make sure that the bad is entered into your memory as a fact rather than a failure. Research shows that the brain has two storage bins or, as Daniel Goleman, in his book “Emotional Intelligence,” says, “the brain has two memory systems, one for ordinary facts and one for emotionally charged experiences.” What you emotionalize, you immortalize. While a golf strength-and-weakness profile is fluid and ever-changing, a fully emotionalized failure is an event that is with you forever. The message is clear: Be careful what you make immortal! What control do you have over the storage of your golf memories? It’s all in the label. Three markers combine to determine whether an event is stored as a fact or as an emotional experience: the intensity of the experience, its duration and the number of times you repeat it. Some events, even though they occur only once, are emotional because of their intensity: John F. Kennedy’s assassination and 9/11 are two examples. For golfers, it’s hard to forget Tiger Woods winning his first Masters or Jack Nicklaus’ last major victory in the 1986 Masters. These neural footprints are made indelible and instantly available for recall because of the heavyweight emotions you have attached to them. As you play, use these three markers to flag every good shot: Make it intense by getting excited; make it last by replaying it mentally as you travel between shots; and repeat it by replaying it again and again after the round. Do the opposite to mark a bad shot as a fact.

GOLF BY THE NUMBERS

THE GOLF DOCTOR

Snedeker comes out on top

Warm up before taking any full-power swing

$11.44 million: That’s how much Brandt Snedeker won on Sunday at the 2012 Tour Championship in Atlanta — $1.44 million for winning the tournament, and a mere $10 million bonus for winning the year-long FedExCup competition. The two best players in the world, Tiger and Rory (he’s big enough now to go by one name), faded in the final round. McIlroy won two of the FedExCup Playoffs events, but let the big prize slip from his grasp in the windy conditions on the final day. He tied for 10th, while Woods, who has trouble playing when the wind blows, was eighth — not good in a field of only 30. Here’s a look at the changing rankings of these three players as they moved through the Playoffs. The numbers in parentheses below each ranking indicate how each player finished in that particular tournament.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“Is he playing good because he’s made five birdies or bad because he made six bogies?” — Announcer Peter Jacobsen, about Lee Westwood’s play as he shot 1 over par through 11 holes during the first round of the FedExCup finals.

Before the rescue club, the hardto-hit 1-iron was the Super Bowl of the long irons, and only the greatest of players could make it work. Two 1-iron shots will forever live in golf lore: Ben Hogan on the 72nd hole of the 1950 U.S. Open at the Merion Golf Club (his subsequent par forced a playoff, which Hogan won the next day), and Jack Nicklaus on No. 17 during the final round of the 1972 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach. Jack’s ball struck the pin on the par 3 and stopped inches away, leading him to an eventual three-shot victory. However, there’s another 1-iron shot that had an impact on the history of golf (in a negative way), and it happened on the practice range. It was hit by a young star named Jerry Pate in 1982.

Pate was the leading money winner at the time, having won the prestigious Players Championship earlier in the year, and he had already won eight times on tour, including the 1976 U.S. Open. But later that year he opted to open a hurried practice session with, of all clubs, the 1-iron. As Pate tells it: “Boom, I hit one shot, and I could not lift my arm up. The worst pain I’ve ever had.” The shoulder injury was initially misdiagnosed, leading to a chain of circumstances that eventually forced Pate to the announcer’s booth. A word to the wise is sufficient: Always loosen up before the first swing of the day, and never start off with a full-power swing with any club, especially a long iron.

ASK THE PRO

Walk like a winner to play like one Q: I’m starting to play in a few tournaments and I get really nervous. What can I do to keep my cool? — C.T. A: To keep your cool, you’ve got to know what your cool is. You have to know yourself. Developing self-rapport involves finding out how you posture yourself when you are successful, and then doing the same things in order to produce success. If you walk a certain way when you’re playing well, carry yourself in a certain way, have a certain pace, if your voice has a certain volume to it, tonal quality, etc., then you need to

reproduce that when you want to play your best. To know what you’re doing, you have to study yourself during success and failure. Once you know yourself, you’ll stand your best chance of playing well. One way to do this is to video yourself while you play. Mark the video when you hit a good shot by giving a thumbs up to the camera, then study it for clues as to how you conduct yourself when you’re in prime time.

Chautauqua County Master Gardener Top Tips, Tricks, Techniques & To-do’s for the Fall Garden

Fall is the best time of year to plant/transplant trees and shrubs – the soil is warm and you get great “end-of-season” deals at the local nurseries! Stock up on garden tools, supplies and equipment – as stores make way for snow shovels take advantage of the discounts on gardening supplies!! Use aluminum foil as a scrubber to remove rust and dirt from metal garden tools. Pour about 1/2 bottle vegetable or canola oil into a bucket of sand and mix well. Push your trowels, shears, pruners, knives etc. in & out of the sand 4-5 times. The sand cleans the dirt off and the oil protects them from rust over the winter. Wipe with paper towels or garage cloths and your tools are ready for spring! The sand can be saved for future use and cleaning of dirty/rusty tools. Use your leaves -do not rake into street where their nutrients may go down drains to the lake. Grind them up and use as mulch or for brown layers in your compost pile. Bag “extras” and store to use in the Spring and Summer. Add protection to your fall planted bulbs by surrounding them with gravel or crushed zebra mussel shells. It will deter the little critters that like to enjoy these tasty delights. Get free plants by dividing your perennials. Do your research in advance to determine which types

of perennials should be divided in the Fall and the best methods for doing so. Get more free plants: Take cuttings from tender annuals like coleus, sweet potato vine, impatiens and geraniums now to root and winter over in the house. If you have tubers or bulbs that you dig up in the Fall to store over winter, use a sharpie marker to label the type of plant and the flower color. Seed vegetable gardens with a cover crop to help retain soil moisture, restore nutrients and prevent soil erosion throughout the winter. Turn them in in the Spring to add even more nutrients. Bring some worms indoors: If you have an outdoor compost pile harvest a few worms by wrapping kitchen scraps up in a newspaper that you bury in the pile and dig out a week later. You will have a great starter package for an indoor worm bin! Leave seed heads on plants like Coneflower to provide food for birds that overwinter. Create your Spring beds now…now is the time to do any deep (8”) rototilling so if you have a new spot that you want to have a garden in the Spring now is the time to prep the ground. Plant your garlic, onions and perennial rhubarb roots in October before the first frost. Use row covers or straw

mulch to protect fall crops from frost and deer while extending the harvest season for a wide variety of coldtolerant greens (lettuce, peas, onions) and root crops(beets, carrots). Before winter sets in cut your turf to the lowest setting, 2” if possible. This is the only time of the year you should have to cut the turf less than 3”. This reduces the risk of snow molds in the turf over the winter. Take a portion of the garden and seed, yes seed, leaf lettuce, arugula and spinach even in the fall, you should be surprised with an early spring crop of greens. Keep a fresh supply of basil in the fall by cutting long stems from basil in the garden (before the first frost) and putting them in water in glass containers on a windowsill. The basil will actually root and grow giving new leaves into December. Cook spaghetti squash now, which doesn’t last as long as winter squash, take out the seeds and then portion out the “threads” in plastic bags & put in the freezer. Create a “lasagna” garden bed that you can plant next spring. Use newspapers or cardboard for a base layer followed by alternating layers of ground up leaves, grass clippings and food scraps. Come Spring you will have a new raised bed with beautiful compost/soil to grow in without ever having to till first!

Remove old, spent plants from the garden. Any plants that had insects or disease should be put in plastic bags and thrown out with the trash. Others can be composted. Turn the soil and leave it rough to expose insects and disease to the cold. Take a soil test and add any needed lime to the garden (if your soil is acidic) so it will break down and do its job by spring. Add organic matter (compost, leaves, grass clippings) to improve the condition of the soil. Be sure to clean up your garden so it will look neat and clean for the winter.

Now sit back, enjoy a cup of hot apple cider and wait for the seed catalogs to start pouring in!

Get A Taste of Country at the Busti Cider Mill and Farm Market By Patricia Pihl Managing Editor

Despite a disappointing apple season, Bob Schultz has been pressing apple cider since the end of August this year, an annual ritual at his Cider Mill since 1983. The press was built in the 1890s and has been the site of tours for

to go around. The farm and market, with 20 acres and a greenhouse, grows its own organic vegetables and berries with the focus now switching to winter veggies like rutabaga, and parsnips. Open until Thanksgiving, the market moves into the Lillian Ney Center in Jamestown in November

nity.” There is also handstirred, goat milk fudge and cheeses. The farm also grows its our own grains and mills its own buckwheat, cornmeal, rye flour, whole wheat flour and cereal, all of which are organic. Also for purchase are home made jams and jellies, local honey and maple

Bob Schultz talks about the cider making process at his farm market and cider mill in Busti.

he says that it the farm is not certified organic. Since participants get what is available during the season, Schultz says that the program is for people who “are a little bit adventurous, schools, groups and tour busses, although with the lack of apples this year, mill patrons may or may not be able to see weekend demonstrations this fall. Not to worry. There is still plenty of fall harvest

and December. The Mill and Farm Market are a great mix of all things country. The market’s gift shop is filled with handcrafted items made, according to Judy Schultz, “exclusively by our employees, and local artisans in the commu-

syrup. Community Supported Agriculture Bob Schultz says the farm also participates in what is called Community Supported Agriculture or CSA. CSA has become a popular way for consumers to buy local seasonal food directly from a farmer. A farmer offers a certain number of “shares” to the public, similar to a membership. In return, consumers receive a box of seasonal produce each week throughout the farming season. The program starts mid-May and goes until November. The advantage to consumers, Bob says, is “fresh food, right from the farm and grown organically.” Although

not someone who sets a menu at the beginning of the week.” Busti Cider Mill and Farm Market also participates in three farmers markets in Warren, Jamestown and Lakewood

throughout the season. It is located at 1135 Southwestern Drive, South of Jamestown. For more information visit www.busticidermill.com or call 716-487-0177 or 483-7300.

Ellicottville Fall Festival A Personal Perspective By Scott Wise Star Copy Editor

My family has spent countless Columbus Day Weekends at Allegany State Park; building campfires, going for walks and making cherished memories. In more recent years, the Saturday of that weekend has begun with a scenic trip through the mountains to Ellicottville for the Ellicottville Fall Festival.

While the majority of article we write for this paper are intended to promote community involvement in local events, it’s clear to anyone to has been to the fall fest that there is no need for higher attendance. Each year, it seems we park farther and farther away from the downtown square. The craft tents, which began as a few local vendors set up in the streets, have since taken

over like a glorious virusspreading out farther and farther each year. But- the event continues to be a highlight of the year for many Western New Yorkers- our family included. The craftsmanship is, in my opinion, far above that of nearly every other craft show we attend. Every tent seems to offer unique and creative original products. We began going when I was still in high school,

my parents, aunt and uncle. Eventually, my girlfriend came with us. Then she came as my fiancé. Three years ago was our first as husband and wife. The following year, she was eight months pregnant and we brought our dog to show off. Last year, our son made his first appearance at the festival as a ten month old. This year, he’ll be walking around and be-

ing told not to touch all the delicate creations the festival vendors prepare. We always start the festival off with a big bag of fresh kettle corn, which rarely makes it through to the end of our day. We’ll walk around and check all the vendors, and have conversations with the folks we remember from years past. Occasionally we’ll grab a blooming onion and a warm hot chocolate for

the cool fall day. This year, we’ll be heading to the festival on Saturday, Oct. 6. It just happens to be my wife’s birthday, so I’m sure we’ll be doing something special to celebrate, maybe grabbing some extra barbecue. I encourage you to head up to Ellicottville on the weekend of Oct. 5, 6 and 7. It’s a fabulous festival, one you won’t regret going to!

Peek’n Peak Celebrating 25th Anniversary of Fall Festival Various Family-Oriented Activities to Take Place Over Two Weekends By Daniel Meyer Star Contributing Writer

The beauty of the fall season in Chautauqua County will be showcased later this month at Peek’n Peak Resort and Spa as activities for people of all ages will be the focus of the 25th annual Fall Festival. With scheduled events on the agenda the weekends of October 13 and 14 and October 20 and 21, Peek’n Peak will serve as the center of fall festivities on all four days from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Peek’n Peak has been hosting the popular festival for more than two decades with great success due in large part to the wide variety of family-oriented activities that highlight the event’s calendar. In an effort to make this year’s festival the biggest and best yet and to coincide with the celebration of a quartercentury of success for the event itself, organizers

have added new attractions, improved the live musical entertainment lineup and inserted some unique entertainment opportunities to the slate of what is already called the region’s premiere autumn event. This year’s festivities include a craft show, farmers market, ski lift rides, snow sports equipment swap, horse-drawn rides, the famous “pumpkin cannon” and various activities geared towards children, including artsand-crafts workshops, pony rides and a petting zoo. Of particular interest to automobile enthusiasts is the 15th annual “Turning Leaves Classic Car Cruise” on Sunday, October 14. Sponsored by the Southern Tier Classic Chevy Club, the roar of horsepower will be heard that afternoon as participants will showcase their classic cars and trucks and also be invited to purchase 50/50 raﬄe tickets and

enter for a chance to win special door prizes. The 2012 Fall Fest Live Music bill is impressive, with two different acts set to hit the stage each of the four days the festival is held. The musical showcase will feature “Derek Davis & The Tasty Grove” and Sean Patrick McGraw” on Saturday, October 13 and will continue with “M4 Band” and “The Breeze Band” on Sunday, October 14. The music will continue on Saturday, October 20 with Rick Magee & The Road House Rockers” and “Jackson Rohm” and will conclude on Sunday, October 21 with “Ken Hardley & The Henways” and “Porcelain Busdrivers.” In addition to all of the scheduled activities, live musical entertainment and food and beverage offerings all four days of the Fall Festival, Peak’n Peak will also offer attendees the opportunity to purchase their 2012-

2013 ski season passes at discounted rates. The 2012 Peek’n Peak Fall Festival will take

place at 1389 Old Road in Findley Lake, with free admission and parking available to all festival-

goers. In addition to the daytime activities happening on Continued on Page 11

“Cooperation is nothing new but a very old idea,” is just a part of the Cross Roads philosophy. Community members working together can get farther for a cause than they can flying solo, and that still rings true for Cross Roads as it enters into the latter part of its 15th season. As they have gone forward, the mentality has stayed the same as it was when Cross Roads opened in 1998sticking by the four P’s for success: Product, Price, Presentation and Personality. “When developed properly, success will follow,” they said. Cross Roads market isn’t just a weekend shopping location, though. The team of planners, which generally consists of all the vendors working together, work hard to bring plenty of events that promote community awareness and involvement, as well as raise funds for good causes. For instance, the Cruise

Against Hunger in August raised money through a cruise-in auto show for the Food Bank of Western New York. This fall, there will be no shortage of evetns and fundraising opportunities at Cross Roads, and ways for the community to get out and support, while shopping and having fun. “The most important event we have coming up is the Chili cookoff,” said Mark Pouthier, who is the Market Manager and secretary of the board. “We usually raise $1,200 to $1,500, all of which gets donated to Hospice of Chautauqua County.” The chili cook-off, which is slated for Saturday, Oct. 6, is in its 14th year, and has come to be a staple event for the Cross Roads season. “We set it up in the pavilion,” said Pouthier. “There are three categories for people to enter- service organizations, restaurants and individuals. Professional judging takes place at 10:30 and the winner is awarded a prize.” But the main fundraising takes place throughout the whole day. The

‘People’s Choice’ award is where the money is at- literally. “Throughout the whole date, people are judging the contestant’s chili,” said Pouthier. “There are portion cups available, and people go around and can sample each chili. Every time they sample one, they’re asked to put some money in a jar by that entry.” At the end of a very filling and delicious day, the entry with the most money in it is called the winner of the People’s Choice award. “It’s a huge day for us, we usually have a great big crowd,” said Pouthier. Also coming up for Cross Roads this fall is the first annual Hat Parade. Ginger Hobart and Ingrid Kennedy, who run the Precious Possessions booth in Building One, orchestrate the event. “We will all be wearing hats, and we want folks to arrive with funny creations- beautiful creations, or just plain creative stuff,” said Kennedy.

Fredonia’s ‘Harvest House’ and Harvest Moon Cemetery Tours Oﬀer Fun For All

There are plenty of farmer markets for choosing a pumpkin in Chautauqua County.

By Peter Hamilton Contributing Writer

Someone in your family, or someone significant to you, might come up to you this fall and say, (yes, it might sound like they’re complaining) “Gosh, there’s nothing to do today.”

Depending upon the age, or relationship of the asker, there are an abundance of activities in the area. Let’s say the asker is an elementary school age child. Or, an adult with an elementary school child’s youthful curios-

ity. If so, you might want to consider going to the “Harvest House” which is located about one mile east of Fredonia on Route 20. Harvest House opens on October 1 and continues throughout the month. If you go there, the question “what’s there to do?” will have plenty of answers - for all ages and all sizes. There is a vertical measuring sign mounted against the side of the barn one can stand against and see how tall (or short!) they are. If they are, say about two and a half feet tall, the conversion measurement at Harvest House will show that the person will be four-black cats and two pumpkins tall; just the right size to climb and ride down the slide next to the sign. There are also other activities that include a treasure hunt, the pumpkin house, hayrides, a

Crossroads, Continued from Page 8 “It’s a fun event and we’re hoping people will come out for it,” said Hobart. “They’ll get a small gift just for entering and there will be a prize for the best in each category.” The Hat Parade, which will be held on Oct. 20, will be in conjunction with a collection of hats, mittens, socks and other warm clothing for the children of Chautauqua County. “We have an organization that will distribute [the clothing], and we’re working with local schools to make sure it

gets to the right kids,” said Hobart. “It’s just one of our outreaches. All the clothing donated will stay right here in Chatuauqua County.” Aside from being a great location to visit, shop, eat and play- Cross Roads Market is a fundraising machine- building awareness and raising money throughout its whole shopping season, which lasts from May until Dec. 22. “We’ll be open Black Friday for the folks who don’t want to go to the malls,” said Pouthier.

“But, the Saturday after Thanksgiving is our big shopping day. It’s packed here. Santa will be here starting on Black Friday, and every Saturday through Dec. 22.” “We want to mix community awareness with fun,” said Hobart. “If we can reach out and give back a little bit- that’s our intent.” For more information on the Cross Roads Market, visit www.thecrossroadsmarket.com or check them out on Facebook.

Halloween playground, pumpkin bowling and a corn maze. If you and your companions are in an investigative mood, the Harvest House has a treasure hunt. The participant is given a small wood container with a tiny padlock on it, and within the treasure box are several search clues for prizes and treasures hidden around the farm. A prize is given to each successful contestant. There is a playhouse for all ages where word puzzles are solved, games can be played and amusement found. For fun sport, there is a pumpkin bowling lane. For animal lovers, there is a barn with lambs and small, ready for petting, farm animals. If you get

hungry or thirsty, there is a refreshment pavilion. Cider, hot chocolate, cakes, and other harvest treats can be purchased. All events and activities can be done for a cost of about three or five dollars each. Visitors will also find that The Harvest House specializes in white pumpkins. Reservations are not required. Harvest Moon Cemetery Tours If your entertainment seekers are looking for something historical with a somewhat spooky theme, you all can meet in Fredonia at the gazebo in Barker Commons and take a guided tour of Forest Hill Cemetery. Tours are scheduled for October 19 and 20 from

7 p.m. until 10 p.m. each night. Tours leave the gazebo every half hour. There will be horsedrawn trolley rides to the cemetery with a guide describing the sites along the way. The special tour will feature ghostly guides to hear about the heroes and villains of the area. Tour participants can help share their stories of Fredonia and its haunted past. After the tour, refreshments will be available at the Buster Brown Bean Company on Main Street. They are included in the price of the ticket which is $12.50 and includes the trolley ride, the cemetery tour and stories. Reservations are encouraged and can be make by calling 716672-4818.

Pumpkinville A Question and Answer with the Fall Favorite By Scott Wise Star Copy Editor

As October arrives for 2012, it brings with it the smell of burning woodstoves, falling leaves, pumpkins and apple cider. And, for many western New York families, a trip to iconic Pumpkinville. Pumpkinville, located in Great Valley, has been owned and operated by Dan and Diane Pawlowski since 1996. Located just off of Rt. 98, it is nestled on 200 acres of farming property, where hundreds of pumpkins are grown every year. We met with Dan, who shared with us about Pumpkinville and what it has meant to their family.

With new events and ideas always growing, the Pawlowskis provide a great asset to the Fall season for all Western New Yorkers. Star: How did it get started? Dan: We took it over in 1996. It wasn’t on this property, it was located on Rt. 98 in a side yard with a few pumpkins. We were looking for something to do, and we got in touch with the couple that owned it. Things went well and here we are, and we’re forever indebted to them. It’s been the coolest thing ever. If you’ve got to work for a living, I can’t imagine doing anything else. It’ll stay in our family too- our kids are very interested in

it and will take it over. Star: What was Pumpkinville like when you started? Dan: We didn’t have much. We had a popcorn machine and a tractor and we thought we were the big time. We had a few little buildings, and we built a few more when we got here. There wasn’t a bakery, we built that in 2007. We sold ice cream, but we didn’t make it here like we do now. We sold apples and some crafts, jams and jellies. Bought in baked goods that we sold back out. We’ve kept growing, adding something new each year. Star: Can you talk a little about the cider mill? Dan: I added the cider

mill in 2004. A gentleman in Randolph ran this mill and we bought all our cider from him. We were his biggest customer and he was a retired school teacher.

He was ready to be out of the cider business and it was a natural fit for us. It fits our place well and it’s a center to what we do. It’s a big attraction that brings a lot of people in.

Star: Do you have an admittance charge? Dan: There’s no admission charge but the events out back like the Continued on Page 11

Before you grab that rake and start piling up the leaves on the curb, remember that pulverizing your leaves with a mulching lawnmower provides nutrients to feed your lawn and reduce the need for fertilizer. And reducing the fossil fuels used by your town to pick up leaves saves energy and tax dollars.

Blowing leaves into the lake or raking them into a stream bed causes organic material to build up in the Lake. This material feeds lake plants and algae, interfering with boating, fishing and swimming fun next summer. So compost or mulch your leaves this year.

pony rides,the hay rides,the train, the corn maze are $3.50 a person, or you can buy an unlimited wrist-band for $12, then you can do all of them as many times as you’d like. You’ve got all the little animatronics, the singing chickens, the petting zoo and displays are all free. Come in and enjoy it and hopefully leave a couple dollars while you’re here. It’s uncommon not to charge someone admission for this, but the way I see it is, ‘How the heck can I charge someone to come here and buy a pumpkin.’ There are folks who come here six, eight times a season. It’s only a couple quarters to feed the goats. We’re going to keep it that way. Star: What can people expect at Pumpkinville this year? Dan: We do barbeque chicken on the weekend, kettle corn on this end and it’s been a hit so far. The Henhouse Five, sing and tell jokes. Kids and adults both love the Henhouse Five. They get a big kick out of it and we really had a great time setting it up. We also added gem mining a year ago, which has

been a big, big hit. They buy a bag of sand with some gems in it and it’s got some colored stones in it. We have hayrides that we added a few years ago, got a sound system that will talk to them as they’re going around. There’s a group of ponies for them to see, and they’ll learn about the different places around the farm that they’re seeing. On weekends in Oct., we’ll be running helicopter rides through a gentleman from Mayville. He’ll come in weather permitting flies up across slopes and through Ellicottville. Star: What about the corn maze? Dan: The corn maze is a big hit for us. I would say it is the most used of any of the entertainment options here. We think it’s a great thing. We don’t have it professionally done with a GPS because it’s so costly. For us to keep the price down, we do it ourselves and it makes people happy. My wife designs the corn maze every year, and it’s always different. They get a sheet of paper and it’s got a pumpkin on it. They slide the sheet into a plastic stencil where

they can draw the eyes, nose and mouth. They come out and compare it with the sign to see what the pumpkin’s name was. When they finish it, they get a free small pumpkin. Star: What’s with all the pink pumpkins? Dan: They’re genetically engineered pink, and each one sold raises money for the Susan G. Komen Foundation. We’d use to draw a crowd with the pumpkin weighoff, but we thought this would be a better way to spend that money. They made these pumpkins available on the market last year. We thought we’d take the money we’d pay out in the giant pumpkin weigh off and put it back toward a good cause. Maybe we can send enough money to make a difference and make people aware. We’ve already had plenty of people are coming in just for the pink pumpkins. Pumpkinville is a great excursion for any family. At a low price point, it’s easier accessible and full of fun stuff for kids and adults alike. This autumn, check out one of Western New York’s greatest fall assets!
