A Harvest Moon Cemetery

Contributed Article Festivals Fredonia with contributions by Mallory Diefenbach

On Oct. 19 and 20 Festivals Fredonia, who are noted for their “Ghost Tours,” will host horse-drawn trolley tours every half hour through the historic cemetery, Forest Hill. The tours begin at7 p.m. and run until 10 p.m. The trolleys will load passengers at the Gazebo in Barker Commons Park on West Main St. and return to the same area. Cemeteries are not just a place where those who are dearly departed

rest. They are art galleries, horticultural gardens, history museums and puzzles to be deciphered. There is no better place to experience this than at Forest Hill on Lambert Avenue. Forest Hill Cemetery, adjacent to Pioneer Cemetery, is in many ways a time capsule of the town’s history. Forest Hill is still an active cemetery where our dearly departed are still placed for final rest each day, as they have been for almost 200 years. From monuments commemorating our founders’ families, Fredonia’s national heroes, Revolutionary, Union and Confederate soldiers, and artists,

industry in the 1920’s and 30’s. After returning to Fredonia in the early 20’s to find a location to build a new Kendall Service station, Otto determined that the peaceful surroundings of Forest Hill Cemetery was the ideal setting for his final resting place, and thus in the 1930’s commissioned the building of his family’s mausoleum, the largest and most ornate one in Forest Hill. Another founder of the community, Dr. Squire White, is also laid to rest in Forest Hill. He was the first physician to set up practice in Chautauqua County and was an uncle to the Cushing Brothers who served bravely in the Civil War. The property now occupied by The White Inn, which was once the exclusive domain of the Indians, came into the hands of Dr. Squire White early in the nineteenth century. In 1811 he erected a frame house on the site, making it the permanent residence of the White family. Participants will be able to hear tales of the White Inn’s grisly murder/ suicide, and how a former owner who to entrepreneurs and industrialists can’t bear to leave. who also gained wide recognition, each turn in the cemetery’s pathways There are tales to excite, amaze and uncovers stories that should not unnerve even the most enlightened remain a secret. history buff.

School Bus Safety Week Gets Back to Basics This year’s theme is “I see the driver and the driver sees me”

By Daniel Meyer Star Contributing Writer

The National School Transportation Association and the National Association for Pupil Transportation, in conjunction with area school districts, will be promoting National School Bus Safety Week, which will be observed October 15 through October 19. Approximately 22.5 million of all students in the United States who are in grades kindergarten through twelfth grade ride school buses to and from school. In highlighting this year’s safety week theme of “I see the driver and the driver sees me,” local school bus drivers will be working directly with their students on proper crossing and driver hand signals during bus safety week. The scheduling of School Bus Safety Week coincides each year with the shorter days of fall and the observance of Daylight Savings time. As the days get shorter and we eventually move our clocks back one hour, some students at times will be walking to and from their bus stops when it is dark outside. Older students and parents of younger students should assist bus drivers by remembering to dress in reflective or at least highly visible clothing. Parents should also discuss with their children the importance of walking safety and remind students to be responsible by always looking both ways before entering onto a roadway or street.

Students should also be regularly reminded to avoid jaywalking and to always use crosswalks or intersections when crossing from one side of a street to another. National School Bus Safety Week also serves as a friendly reminder to other members of the community who may not necessarily have children in school or be directly connected to any students. All licensed drivers should be alert for students walking in neighborhoods and in designated school zones. Drivers should also know the law as it pertains to passing a school bus when it has its stop arm out and safety lights flashing. Unless the roadway is separated by a physical barrier, traffic in both directions must stop. Local transportation officials recognize the importance of school bus safety and are happy to help highlight how important it is for the community as a whole. “We want to make sure everybody has an awareness of school bus safety, not only during this special week, but all year through,” said Scott Howard, the executive vice president of Carrier Coach Inc., a local company which leases their service to some area schools. “I think sometimes people take it for granted and it’s something people don’t really think about.” The school buses used to transport students today are more diligently maintained than ever before. Their size makes them safer than most

School buses are specially constructed to withstand large impacts without compromising the passenger compartment of the vehicle. High padded seatbacks provide excellent protection in case there is an accident. Of course the ultimate safety of students on a bus is dependent upon students obeying bus safety rules. As part of National School Bus Safety Week, parents are asked to review school bus safety rules with their children, most of which can be found on each local school district’s website

By redoubling efforts of the community to keep children safe and to obey the rules surrounding school buses, National School Bus Safety Week serves its purpose both for passengers as well as motorists.

and community-supported agriculture. And local farmers have also been part of educating the public on how it’s all done. At the recent Farm to Table event held at Chautauqua Institution, attendees learned how chefs use “local sourcing” in their culinary creations. During the event, farmers, winemakers and brew masters sit at tables of eight and when their course or product is being served, get up and talk about the practice, be it raising grassfed beef or cultivating shitake mushrooms. On a recent trip to the Busti Apple Cider Mill and Farm Market, I also learned of its participation in Community Supported Agriculture. Consumers who pay an annual fee receive in return, a weekly box of vegetables throughout the growing season, (mid-May through November). The service is highly valued by consumers whose priority is fresh food, grown organically from a nearby farm. Produce, after all, doesn’t come from the grocery store! And many of us don’t want it shipped half way across the country or world before we eat it. Farmers markets continue in the winter at Lillian Ney Center Renaissance Center in Jamestown and other locations throughout the county.

Covering stories for The Chautauqua Star, I’ve had numerous opportunities to speak to local farmers and growers throughout the season. Being a source for good news, our newspaper reports on the assortment of activities related to the area’s bounty. Some of these events include the many farmers’ markets, and the ever-popular summer and harvest festivals. It is, after all, something we can all appreciate and relate to, i.e., the delicious sensation of taking the first bite of local corn on the cob or experiencing the taste of the sweetest strawberries on the face of the earth available only in June. But there are also times when we report on the challenges caused by weather and other obstacles faced by the purveyors of agriculture. Last spring’s warmth followed by frost played havoc with crops; adding insult to injury was the summer drought.

Each encounter with farmers and those who work with them has led me to this inevitable conclusion: Farmers are both smart and chic. First smart. • They live cause and effect and have a literal understanding of “sowing” and “reaping.” • They adapt to conditions beyond their control with innovation and ingenuity. • They are patient and as an added job requirement, they work hard with the faith that the fruits of their labor will be seen another day. • They have a superior understanding of the natural world. • They are above all, practical. Nice platitudes. But none of this is particularly breaking news. This brings me to chic. Among the health-conscious and gourmet-minded, the trend of “farm to table” is here to stay. The taste and nutritional qualities of locally grown food are just two of the benefits behind this movement that has picked up momentum in recent years. The farm to table movement is defined as producing food locally and delivering that food to local consumers. It’s a seemingly common sense idea, but one which has lost its way over the years. Farm to table is promoted by some in the agriculture, food service, and restaurant communities and is also associated with organic farming initiatives, sustainable agriculture,

Dairy Profit Teams Still Paying Off for NY Farms Contributed Article David Grusenmeyer

Regularly assembling a dairy farm’s trusted advisors – collectively known as a Dairy Profit Team (DPT) – is paying off in big ways in New York. The teams that include crop consultants, nutritionists, veterinarians, loan officers, Cornell Cooperative Extension educators, herd managers, and family members help farm owners improve efficiencies, increase milk production, add premium milk income, reduce expenses and cow losses, and stay in farming altogether. Dairy Still in Business in Chautauqua County In Kennedy, NY, Eric Vanstrom expected to be out of farming in 2010, but

Cornell Cooperative Extension of Chautauqua County Educators Ginny Carlberg and Lisa Kempisty convinced him to start a Dairy Profit Team, and in September 2012 Vanstrom, who milks 76 cows with another 100 heifers and dry cows on 145 acres, had enjoyed quality milk checks for nearly two years. “When my team first met in early 2010, I was spending tons of money on feed, the cows were stressed, and milk production was down. My team identified areas to work on step-by-step. At first, little improvements like building new feed bunks had the biggest impact,” Vanstrom says. “The cows ate more and better and began making more milk.” Vanstrom says constructing

a new 48-stall barn made a 100 percent difference: “cow comfort increased, the rolling herd average increased by 2 lbs. of milk/day/cow, while somatic cell count fell, and we earned a Super Milk Award.” Vanstrom’s DPT that now meets three times a year is brainstorming opportunities more than problem solving. Vanstrom will soon complete an 11-acre expansion purchase and is considering buying another milking herd. Internal Growth in Lewis County When Conway Farms in Turin, NY, started its Dairy Profit Team in 2009, 180 cows produced an average of 17,000 lbs/cow/year. Today, a herd of 285 averages 26,500 lb/cow, with an enviable

somatic cell count of 100,000180,000. Father Randy and sons Derek and Jake Conway considered team input about hiring help to handle the milking and concentrating their time on herd health, breeding, and internal growth. After the Team reviewed the purchase cost of a new $250,000 milking parlor, the Conways themselves built a swing-16 that handles 100 cows/hour for just $60,000. Improved calf health is the result of the Team-approved purchase of a neighboring farm to relieve overcrowding and support internal herd growth. Milk Gain and More Heifers in Wyoming County At Stony Meadows Farm in the Town of Middlebury,

team-based decision-making led the Wayne and Linda Smith family to enter a fiveyear agreement for forage production by a neighboring farm. The Smiths sold their tillage and harvesting equipment, and focused on dairy herd management. Improving bedding practices and barn ventilation keeps milk production steady in spite of weather conditions. Overall, the changes produced an average of 8 lbs. of milk production/cow/day. In Orangeville, Robert, Doug and Mary Ann Calkins’ Dairy Profit Teamwork cost-effectively improved breeding and internal growth programs by matching bull-mother cows to less expensive young sires and reserving more expensive purchased semen for more

frequent heifer-mother cows. NY’s Teams Started in Jefferson County New York’s Dairy Profit Teams were sparked by the participation of dairymen Ron Robbins and Doug Shelmidine and Jefferson County Agricultural Coordinator Jay Matteson in the Northeast Dairy Leadership Initiative. Matteson says, “We picked up on Pennsylvania’s success using advisory teams to grow the dairy industry there and thought it was worth a try, so we applied for and received New York Farm Viability Institute funding ($115,000) to start Dairy Profit Teams here.” Continued on Page 5

The Jamestown Audubon Society’s recent Annual Meeting and Volunteer Recognition Night was a celebration of 55 years strong in their commitment to their members, volunteers and participants. The Chairman’s Award, presented annually to a person or organization that has demonstrated exemplary service in nature education, was presented to Dave Porter and Dave Burlee, representing Cummins, Inc. – Jamestown Engine Plant. The award was for leadership in encouraging community support and volunteer efforts at all levels of their organization, and for Cummins’ commitment to sustainability and the environment as exemplified in its mission “demanding that everything we do ‘leads to a cleaner, healthier (and) safer environment’… through our products, practices and partnerships.” Adam Carlson received the Young Volunteer Award for his Eagle Scout project, creating a pollinator garden just outside the Center’s second floor fireplace room. The garden features flowering plants that are ideal for insect pollinators, including Audubon’s honeybees. This garden is an

outdoor extension of the new pollination exhibit that will open next spring. Outgoing Chairman Peter Stark installed Pierre Chagnon and Eileen Goodling as new board members. They joined continuing board members Bob Barber, Jane Conroe, Mary Lenda, Steve Maggio, Jim Murphy, Freda Pyles, Linda Seleen, Susan Stancombe and Coleen Golab. Volunteers were recognized by their hours of service. Twenty-six volunteers recorded 100 or more hours; 15 had 250+ hours; 12 had 500+; and 9 had 1000+. Top volunteer hours recorded were by Linda Anderson, Todd Anderson, Linda O’Brien and Ed Thomas at 2000+; Denny Anderson and Thom Armella at 3000+; Ed Yager at 4000+; John Whittaker at 5000+; and Larry Brown at more than 7000 volunteer hours. Several of these are registered with RSVP, the Retired Senior Volunteer Program. In reporting on the State of the Organization, President Ruth Lundin unveiled Audubon’s Education Master Plan with the goals to provide programming, exhibits and activities that invite people to Experience, Understand, and Act. Specific examples are: to enhance visitors’

outdoor experience onsite through improvements to outdoor facilities, to offer programs for school-aged children about the natural world with a strong emphasis on local flora and fauna, and to model and interpret a variety of green practices. Development of the Education Master Plan was made possible in part by a grant from the Sheldon Foundation. The Edu cation Staff offered an entertaining skit for the Year in Review, highlighting events and happenings from Enchanted Forest and Thanksgiving With the Birds in the fall, through the Snowflake Festival, to gardens and the Monarch Butterfly Festival in the summer. The dinner, held at the Audubon Center and Sanctuary, was prepared by 3 C’s Catering and featured locally produced food. Jaime Haight provided music during the social hour. The Audubon Center and Sanctuary is at 1600 Riverside Road, off of Route 62 between Jamestown and Warren. Hours are 10 am-4:30 pm daily, Sundays 1-4:30 pm. The trails and Bald Eagle viewing are open dawn to dusk. To learn more, call (716) 5692345 or visit www.jamestownaudubon.org.

The Historical Society of Dunkirk will present a program on the Japanese shipwrecks of Truk (now called Chuuk) Lagoon in the South Pacific on Wednesday, Oct. 24 at 6:30, at the Dunkirk Historical Museum. The program is another is a series of programs designed to invite the public to take part in museum activities and is also part of its current membership drive. Truk is part of the Federated States of Micronesia, located 3200 miles southwest of Hawaii. In 1918 the islands and their deep lagoon were acquired from Germany by the Japanese following Germany’s defeat after World War II. The Japanese began a buildup of arms and base there in the late 30’s and early 40’s in advance of its military invasion of the Western Pacific. During that time often more than 1000 merchant and war ships moored in the lagoon in readiness for further deployment. Five airfields supported some 500 aircraft, patrol boats, torpedo boats, subs, tugs, landing craft, gunboats, and mine sweepers, all helping the buildup of the Japanese military stronghold. Truk became a stronghold for the Japanese Imperial Navy. Due to its man made and natural fortifications, the

base at Truk was known to Allied forces as “the Gibraltar of the Pacific”. On the various islands, the Japanese built five airstrips that held 500 aircraft , and added seaplane bases, a torpedo boat station, submarine repair shops, a communications center and a radar station. Protecting these various facilities were coastal defense guns and mortar emplacements. At anchor in the lagoon were the Imperial Japanese Navy’s battleships, aircraft carriers, cruisers, destroyers, tankers, cargo ships, tugboats, gunboats, minesweepers, landing craft, and submarines. Truk Lagoon became Japan’s main base in the South Pacific theatre, the base for Japanese operations against Allied forces in New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. In February of 1944, the US military launched Operation Hailstone, an attack on the Japanese Imperial Navy at Truk that lasted for three days. Over two days they destroyed 60 ships and 275 airplanes, making the lagoon the biggest graveyard of ships in the world. After this attack Truk lost its importance as a base of operations for the Japanese Imperial Navy. In November of 2011, Historical Museum president Diane Andrasik was part of a group of 20 divers who flew to Truk, traveling for two days from Buffalo to Newark to Hawaii and then on to Truk. The

group lived on the diving live-aboard SS Thorfin, a 170 foot converted whaling ship based in the lagoon and made repeated dives to several of the ships. Photos of several wrecks of the many merchant ships sunk during the operation some sixty eight years ago will be shown, as well as those of a destroyer and a Japanese “Betty Bomber” airplane. A highlight of the week long stay was a 157 foot dive to the deck of the San Francisco Maru (Japanese for merchant ship), where Japanese Mitsubishi Type 95 “Ha-Go” light tanks were photographed. There are also images of items on decks such as bow guns and cargo cranes, engine telegraphs and items left on decks such as gas masks, bottles, crockery, and more. Cargo holds and other interior ship areas held trucks, bulldozers, bombs and land mines, saki bottles, and bicycle parts, an operating table and radio units, all of which were photographed. Barrels of fuel meant to allow planes to fly lay in the holds, crushed by the water depth. The Dunkirk Historical Museum invites anyone interested in World War II history and shipwrecks to attend. The program is free to the public, but donations will be gratefully accepted.

Music Man: Ralph “Razz” Rasmusson

Jamestown’s “Big Band” Leader Bringing Swing to Celeron Legion Anniversary uses them as the “center of the band.” He then adds four trombones, four trumpets and three or four other saxes to re-create the big bands of the 30’s, 40’s and 50’s. “I have a whole library of big band music that Frank Farino (pianist with Razz and Friends) has put together. The core of the band is comprised of Jamestown Community College (students) and community members.” Rasmusson taught music at Falconer Central High School for 20 years, and currently serves as a Jamestown Community College Adjunct Music Teacher. He has also taught private lessons for most of his lengthy career. He is also a member of the Chautauqua County Music Hall of Fame and has played with many popular groups over the years, including the Dixie band, Dixie on the Deck for 20 years at the Italian Fisherman in Bemus Point. He was also a favorite at many of the clubs in Jamestown, and although his audience may be in the 50 plus age category, he also has young fans and has played at weddings of twenty somethings. And he can mix things up - by putting together a duo, trio, or quartet, adding or subtracting band members as he goes. Rasmusson also works with a

Jamestown jazz man Ralph “Razz” Rasmusson will be bringing together a 22 piece big band on Sunday, Oct. 14 for the 92nd anniversary celebration of the American Legion Herman Kent Post in Celeron. The music teacher, saxophone and clarinet player and band leader of “Razz and Friends” has lived and breathed music his entire life and although he doesn’t have the frequent opportunity to put together his big band, when he does the performance is very wellreceived. Razz and his Big Band were invited back after playing at the legion last year for a celebration of the long career of Jamestown’s Radio Personality Jim Roselle. Although he calls himself a “niche” player, the event itself turned out to be very successful. “My band was really excited, because the people enjoyed it.” Every school that has a jazz band that plays these numbers - but to see people dancing - you should have seen the smiles on their faces.” When he needs to “build” his big band, Rasmussen says he will take his quintet, Razz and Friends, which consists of a piano player, bass player, drummer and vocalist and

United Arts Appeal Receives Community Foundation Grant

The United Arts Appeal (UAA) recently received a major grant from the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation. The UAA supports eight major arts organizations in Chautauqua County, including the Jamestown Concert Association. The Concert Association is presenting the Philadelphia Brass Quintet, pictured here, at 8 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 12, in St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in downtown Jamestown.

The United Arts Appeal of Chautauqua County recently received a major grant for operational support from the Chautauqua Regional Community Foundation. “We are thrilled with this support from the Community Foundation,” said UAA board member and grants coordinator Sally Ulrich. “It is especially meaningful to us as it comes from the Foundation’s Reg and Betty Lenna Fund.” Ms. Ulrich explained that for many years the United Arts

Appeal received support from the Lennas through their Fund. With their passing, the Fund is now administered by the Foundation. “We would like to think,” she added, “that Reg and Betty would be happy to know how much they are continuing to support the arts that were so important to them in the community to which they gave so generously.” In addition to funding for individual artists and smaller arts projects through its Projects Pool grants program, the United Arts Appeal provides operating support for eight of

the larger arts organizations in Chautauqua County: the Chautauqua Regional Youth Ballet, Community Music Project, 1891 Fredonia Opera House, Infinity Visual and Performing Arts, Jamestown Concert Association, Lucille Ball Little Theatre of Jamestown, Reg Lenna Civic Center, and the Western New York Chamber Orchestra.

“Members’ Favorite Images” is Topic of Audubon Photo Club Meeting Contributed Article Audubon Center and Sanctuary

Three members presenting their favorite images will be the program at the next Jamestown Audubon Nature Photography Club meeting. On Thursday, Oct. 11, members Julie Nelson, Ashley Whitmore, and Leo McCray will present and talk about some of their favorite photographs and how they were taken. At the 6:30 p.m. meeting, they will describe how the shots were approached, techniques used and any post-shot treatment in the digital darkroom. These three members have been shooting for years; all enjoy exploring the great outdoors and have different directions in outdoor photography. Their favorite images range from flowers and macro work to landscape and long telephoto bird photography. Julie Nelson was given her first camera at age five and has been taking pictures ever since. She was a yearbook photographer at Southwestern High School and took every photography class offered at Jamestown Commu-

nity College. Now she enjoys learning new photography techniques with the Jamestown Audubon Photography Club. Ashley Whitmore, Nelson’s daughter, was given a kids camera early on and also caught the photo bug. Deciding to get into photography, she received a digital camera as a high school graduation present and progressed with photography classes in college. Currently she sells prints of her nature photos and enjoys occasional wedding photography. Leo McCray’s memories of a camera go back to a Kodak Baby Brownie at the age of five, snapping away at kittens and flowers. His fascination with photography only grew. After retirement, attending workshops and seminars honed his skills. He finds editing and printing his photos make his hobby more exciting. “Fungi” is the theme for the Project Time that follows the speakers, building on last month’s macro and close-up photography presentation. This subject requires the pho-

tographer to deal with small subjects and consider how the background is rendered while keeping the subject sharp. Creative Cropping Tips is the technical “Camera Corner” part of the meeting. These are unconventional ideas to get members to think imaginatively. A social time follows the program and will include a show-off of various styles of members’ tripods. Visitors are asked to pay $5 that can be applied toward the annual membership of $30 if application is made by the next meeting. Among the benefits of membership are discounts on photography classes, special gifts and giveaways from sponsors, field trips, and the right to show photos at Club exhibits. The Jamestown Audubon Nature Photography Club meets at the Audubon Center and Sanctuary at 1600 Riverside Road, off Route 62 between Jamestown and Warren. Contact Club president Suzette Paduano at (716) 763-9492 or suzettepaduano@yahoo.com for more information, or visit the Club blog at http://jasphotoclub. wordpress.com.

It’s Car-Deer Collision Season: Slow Down to Reduce the Damage are more deer and cars on the highway at the same times of the day.” . Lynne Irwin is a professor of Biological and Environmental Engineering and a registered professional engineer whose experience focuses on highway engineering. He is the director of the Cornell Local Roads Program, which provides local highway agencies in New York State with technical assistance and training through the Cooperative Extension network. Irwin says: Drivers need to slow down and be vigilant, there is little more they can do. By slowing down, they reduce the chances that a vehicle occupant will be seriously injured in the event of a deer-vehicle collision. The severity of the injury is proportional to the square of the speed, so cutting your driving speed in half reduces the severity of the impact to one-fourth. “Rainy days are a problem due to reduced visibility, poor lighting and lower pavement skid resistance. It is especially important to slow down and be alert in such conditions.

Snowy days are less of a concern, because the deer hunker down and don’t move around as much. The advice to not swerve the vehicle is important when confronted by a deer. The best place to hit a deer is in the flanks. The rib bones in the flanks are more flexible, and vehicular damage is minimized. Swerving the vehicle can risk roll-over accidents and possibly hit an oncoming vehicle or a roadside object. Most vehicles today have anti-lock brakes, so slamming on the brakes has fewer consequences than what used to be the case. The objective is to reduce speed as much as possible before the collision, and still maintain steering control in the vehicle. “In some situations, the deer runs into the car, rather than the other way around. There isn’t much the motorist can do about that. While there may be costly damage to the side of the vehicle, the occupants are unlikely to be badly injured in such cases. And often the deer lives, a bit sore perhaps, and maybe a little smarter.”

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

The more time I spend as a pastor, the more I realize how helpless people are apart from the Holy Spirit. The troubles of this life cannot be faced with mere programs and church protocol. Programs and church growth methodology cannot do the job the Holy Spirit was meant to do. The Holy Spirit is the power to deliver us from the ordinary; a term that should never describe the life of a Christian. The life of Peter provides the perfect illustration of the Holy Spirit’s ability to radically change our lives. Peter was one of the closest disciples of Jesus and his time around Christ was filled

Where has God told

you to be? Let me answer: In the House of God crying out with the people of God for Him to demonstrate His power in our lives; learning His Word from a pastor. Acts 1:8 records the words of Jesus, “But you (Peter was one of the ones being addressed) shall receive POWER after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you…” Acts 2:4 records Peter’s dramatic transformation: “And they (Peter included) were all FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.” Peter was never to be the same again. Act chapter 2 records his sermon to the thousands

that gathered to witness the display of God’s power. Two months before, Peter could not proclaim Christ to a dozen people around a camp fire and now he is preaching to thousands. In Acts chapters 3-5, Peter leads a dramatic healing revival and boldly declares the risen Christ before the foremost religious leaders of his day. Peter is no longer the struggling weak disciple; he is now the product of the Holy Spirit. He is bold and strong and making a difference in the lives of many. Which side of Peter’s life do you want to live on?

your prayers for them, their families, and God’s destiny for the church. Remember, it is not just the pastor’s job to do the praying…it is our responsibility as the Body of Christ to, “…pray always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints (Ephesians 6:18).” It would also be a nice touch if you sent your pastor a note of appreciation letting them know what scriptures you’re praying for them. As a pastor for many years, I know how

much I appreciate knowing that someone “has my back” spiritually. No pastor can be an effective leader and fulfill the call from God, no matter how determined or hard working, without the prayer support of their church! Next week…more ways to demonstrate your appreciation!Keeping the Faith

Keeping the Faith

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

Dear Pastor, since you’re a pastor I figured you could help me. What kind of things can I do to recognize my pastor during Pastor Appreciation Month? While it could appear to be self serving to respond to your question it’s an important topic to address. The Bible tells us in 1 Tim 5:17, “Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and doctrine.” Many people have great suggestions on how pastors (or any spiritual lead-

ers) should be acknowledged for the work they do. As a pastor I know there are many able and dedicated pastors who are well deserving of a bit of appreciation as well as anything else that can be done to make their tasks easier. The following suggestions (some practical, some spiritual) are a compilation of ideas that I’ve experienced to be quite helpful in making a shepherd feel appreciated by their sheep! I’ll begin with the most important way to honor your pastor...pray for them! The

Apostle Paul knew that prayer was not only important but vital for the support of his ministry (1Timothy 2:1-4). There are many scriptures in God’s Word that can be applied to a pastor’s position. For example, 2 Thessalonians 1:11-12 prays to fulfill all the goodness of God and work of faith; Ephesians 6:18-20 prays for utterance from God and the boldness to preach the Gospel; and 2 Timothy 3:16-17 that your pastor be equipped from the Word of God to do what they are called to do. Be diligent in

Ye Hare ‘n Hounds

Chautauqua Star Staff Editor’s Note: The Chautauqua Star recently published a ‘Flavor of the Week’ on Ye Hare’n Hounds, in early September. Some discrepancies were brought to our attention and in an effort to bring a quality product to our readers and advertisers, we have elected to rerun this article with corrections and additions. Ye Hare ‘n Hounds family restaurant in Bemus Point has successfully preserved the tradition of good food with family and friends for the last 25 years. The restaurant started out as a summer home for the Emery family in 1915. They designed it as a replica of an old English Inn. A lot of the original crafting materials like wood and brick was imported from England. To this day the restaurant remains in its original state. Except that there was a side dining room g added in the 80’s as a banquet k” hall for private parties. be In the early 20’s the home was fill sold as a tea-room. They were - popular during the prohibid tion and when the steamers er used to be on the lake. The story goes that it was lost in a card game. But, that remains to be verified. Back then there were three

all made to order and “We do take pride in our work,” she said. “We try not to use anything premade or pre-bought or ready made. Plus, all of our desserts are actually home made by me.” According to Garrett the food is different and unique. “No one else has a menu like ours. Everything is unique in its own way,” said Garrett. The Seafood Julienne has been on the menu since Garrett worked there in the mid 70’s. It is a casserole dish that features shrimp, scallops and lobster broiled together with mushrooms and a crumb base in herb butter. “It’s been tweaked here and there but it’s been on the menu for about 40 years.” she said. Many of the employees have been working with Garret for many years. For the last 28 years Judy Biancho has been a friend and part of the family at Ye Hare ‘n Hounds. “The seafood julienne is the only thing that’s been here longer than me,” she said. “It’s great that we’re a family here.” The seafood menu has received much praise from the community. One example is the Scallops Calvados, an almond crusted sea scallops served in a roasted acorn squash with a spiced apple brandy cream sauce with wild rice. The filet mignon dishes

a friend’s or family’s house. Eating is an experience individualized to each customer’s preference. No matter the season or weather it is always a great time to stop in. “During the winter we light the fire place and you’re warm and cozy enjoying a great meal while the snow is falling outside,” said Garrett. The Garrett family has worked hard to create a place where both the community

stories to the building. The upper two floors were used as lodging. There was also a frame building with rooms where the parking lot is now. It stopped being an inn in the mid 60’s. Ye Hare ‘n Hounds has been an established restaurant in Chautauqua County since 1921. Jennifer Garrett, the current owner and her husband Mike took over in 1988. Even though it is no longer an inn, the tradition of providing guests with great food in a warm atmosphere remains in tact. “Both the name and the feel stuck with us for the last 25 years,” said Garrett. Garrett herself actually worked at the Ye Hare ‘n Hounds in her youth. It was her first job in her teens. “I had no idea then that I’d own it someday,” she said. “I was a registered nurse when we decided to buy. We couldn’t have done it without the help of Mike’s parents George and Joy Garrett.” The dining experience is incredibly important to Garrett and her staff. Everything is

as well as the duck and lamb chops are also very popular. “It’s difficult to find those type of dishes around here,” said Garret. If the menu wasn’t massive enough already with appetizers, soups, poultry, beef, seafood, lamb, veal and pork a new Bar Bites menu was also added. The new menu is served daily until 10 p.m. at the bar and features delicious made to order comfort foods. From soups and salads to flatbreads, appetizers and comfort foods; there is something for everyone. While enjoying one of the many mouth watering menu items customers can enjoy a calm and comforting atmosphere. Great for business or pleasure, Ye Hare ‘n Hounds is a great place to stop on the lake. “We want people to feel like they are coming home,” said Garrett. At Ye Hare ‘n Hounds there aren’t any live entertainment or events to distract customers from the food experience. Every customer is treated like they are coming to dinner at

and weary travelers can stop by and feel nostalgic for home. The food is made with patience by those who care and take pride in their work. This experience is partly due to the fact that the owners are locals who want to see the place they call home to prosper. “We’re not just here for the summer tourists,” said Garrett. “We’re here for the local people. We’re here because it is our livelihood and we want to be here. This has been our home for the last 25 years and we want everyone who comes here to feel welcome.” Open year round, Ye Hare ‘n Hounds is located at 64 Lakeside Drive in Bemus Point. The kitchen is open for dinners from 5 until 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

Saturday, Oct. 13 By Patricia Pihl Managing Editor

In a new format for Jamestown’s Savings Bank Arena, the venue is hosting the city’s first ever Rocktoberfest on Saturday, Oct. 13. The show will include two main stages where local bands including headliner Big Leg Emma will perform, as well as Smokehouse, Gina V and the Barn Cats, Pressure Sensitive and Smackdab. Officials at the Arena hope the event will bring those who have never visited the facility an incentive to come out.

“Even though we’ve been here for 10 years, there are a lot of people who don’t know about the Arena, or if they know of it, they have never been here,” says JSBA Event Coordinator, Matt Hanson. As well as being an opportunity for the venue to shine, Hanson says it is also a good opportunity for the bands to get exposure. “There are be a little bit of everything – that was done intentionally. We wanted to showcase the diversity of musical acts in the area… and to give them exposure in all one place.” “Rotating the stages is something I’ve never seen before

There will be refreshments provided by The Buster Brown Bean Company at the end of the

So, it’s a little different each year.” Reservations are a must,

in this area,” Hanson adds. Genres include Big Leg Emma, which is a mix of folk and rock and has been a staple of the Great Blue Heron Festival. Hanson describes Smackdab as jazz and soul; Smokehouse is rock and country, and Pressure Sensitive is classic rock. He says Gina V. has “soul, jazz and contemporary rock roots.” Advertising for Rocktoberfest has also been different than for other events hosted at the Arena. Hanson said that this has included lawn signs- with general concert information on one side, and bands listed on the other side. “We’ve got-

ten a really good response in from the community- people have been coming up to the bands and saying how they are seeing the signs everywhere.” With food and concessions available on the second floor, and merchandise being sold throughout the building, the venue allows attendees to get a glimpse of the entire facility and what it has to offer, says Hanson. All ages are welcome to attend Rocktoberfest and tickets are available at the Arena Box Office, www. jamestownarena.com or by calling 716-484-2624.

“The Words,” starring Bradley Cooper, Jeremy Irons and Dennis Quaid, is the next featured film in the Cinema Series at the 1891 Fredonia Opera House. It will be screened on Sat., Oct. 13, at 8 p.m. and Tues., Oct. 16, at 7:30 p.m. “The Words” is a film about love, ambition, regret, hope, dreams, failure and choice. It follows young writer Rory Jansen (Cooper), who finally achieves long sought-after literary success when he publishes the “next great American novel.” There’s only one

an interactive introduction to Fender guitars and the folks who distribute and play them. On Tuesday, Oct. 30, representatives from Fender will be on hand to showcase new products from the company and popular Buffalo guitarist Doug Yeomans will present a workshop featuring an array of Fender guitars and amplifiers. The event will be held at the Trinity Guitars studio at 800 West Third Street in Jamestown, beginning at 6 p.m. and continuing into the evening. Dubbed a “Buffalo treasure” by Buffalo News music critic Jeff Miers, Yeomans is a member of the Buffalo Music Hall

He has traveled extensively, playing rock, R&B, blues, country and bluegrass guitar in concert halls, clubs, festivals and private events. He also is a seasoned guitar teacher and clinician.

catch – he didn’t write it. As the past comes back to haunt him and his literary star continues to rise, Jansen is forced to confront the steep price that must be paid for stealing another man’s work and for placing ambition and success above life’s most fundamental three words. Stephen Holden, in the New York Times, calls the film “a clever, entertaining yarn.” Tom Reed, in the Detroit News, calls it “thoughtful and elegant, with just enough loose strings to keep things intriguing.” Chris Vognar, in the Dallas Morning News, says “the movie conjures a mean Faustian bargain and

leaves a classic dramatic question hanging in its air: What would you do if faced with similar circumstances?” Rated PG-13 for brief strong language and smoking, “The Words” runs 97 minutes. The Opera House Cinema Series is sponsored by Lake Shore Savings Bank. Tickets are available at the door for $7 (adults), $6.50 (seniors & Opera House members) and $5 (students) the night of each screening. A book of ten movie passes is available for $60 at the door, at the Box Office or online at www. fredopera.org. For more information, call the Opera House Box Office at 716-

The Cinema Series continues with “Won’t Back Down,” starring Maggie Gyllenhaal and Viola Davis on Nov. 3 & 6; and “Trouble with the Curve,” starring Clint Eastwood, Amy Adams and Justin Timberlake, on Nov. 10 & 13.

Rolling Hills Radio Kicks Off Third Season on WRFA Live radio program gets support bvfrom local and regional sponsors

The 2012-2013 Rolling Hills Radio season is now underway. Helping to make the season possible are: (front row, l to r) Jeff James, owner of the Labyrinth Press Co.; Ken Hardley, Rolling Hills Radio host; and Vince Horrigan, Chautauqua Region Community Foundation grant committee member; (back row, l to r) Dennis Drew, WRFA General Manager; Art Wingerter, President of Univera Healthcare; and Jim Holler, owner of Trinity Guitars

Contributed Article WRFA-LP Jamestown

Chautauqua County’s only local radio program dedicated to live music is now in its third season on the air. Hosted by local singer Ken Hardly, Rolling Hills Radio combines performance and interviews

to both showcase the music and reveal the inspiration behind the work of the region’s most talented artists. The program is recorded on the final Thursday of each month at the Labyrinth Press Co. in Jamestown, and broadcast on local radio station WRFA-LP

(107.9 FM). Rolling Hills Radio (formerly known as the Woodsongs Coffeehouse Radio Hour) is funded in part by Univera Healthcare, the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation, Trinity Guitars and the Arts Council for Chautauqua County. Because of the support from the sponsors, WRFA is able to handle all production and provide national syndication of Rolling Hills Radio, the first such local program to be produced for a national market. Each performance showcases the original work of two different musical artists. Host Ken Hardley discusses with each artist their life history and inspiration before each work is presented and then breaks down their technique and creative process with incisive and graceful questioning. In addition to performances, Hardley helps guide the audience to a better understanding of the process of creating works of art with insightful and humorous dialog. The artists come together at the end of each performance to unite the sometimes contrast-

ing or complimentary styles in a musical grand finale, blending some very unique sounds into a common moment of original music. More information on Rolling Hills Radio, including a complete schedule of the 20122013 season, can be found on facebook at facebook.com/ RollingHillsRadio.

Chautauqua County to Receive $450,000 Community Transformation Grant Funding Contributed Article Chautauqua County Department of Health

The New York State Department of Health has been awarded Community Transformation Grant (CTG) – Small Communities funding by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The NYSDOH submitted the application for this grant on behalf of three New York State counties including Chautauqua. Only forty awards were made nationally and Chautauqua County is set to receive $450,000 over the next two years. CTG funding will enable Chautauqua County to

implement programming to reduce the burden of chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, stroke, and diabetes. “We are being presented with a critical public health mission-driven opportunity to make significant strides toward the prevention of disease and promotion of health of our county residents,” said Christine Schuyler, County Director of Health and Human Services. “It is also very timely as we are seeing diabetes, cardiovascular disease and obesity rates reaching epidemic proportions,” added Schuyler. The County Health Department will work with a multi-sector leadership team and coalition to implement

a comprehensive plan in early child care, school, and community settings within the geographic areas of the Jamestown City, Dunkirk City, and Silver Creek Central School Districts. Chronic disease prevention initiatives championed through CTG will result in a better quality of life for Chautauqua County residents as well as health care related savings in the short and long term.

National Contest Targets Ten Regions Across The United States Contributed Article NFP

The National Family Partnership® (NFP) announces the national contest for its 27th annual Red Ribbon Week®, Oct. 23-31. Red Ribbon Week is the oldest and largest drug prevention campaign in the country. In 1985 after the murder of a DEA agent, parents, youth and teachers in communities across the country began wearing Red Ribbons as a symbol of their commitment to raise awareness of the destruction caused by drugs. This year, families

can get involved by entering a contest to promote awareness in their neighborhoods and win a drug prevention grant for their schools. Families can enter Red Ribbon Week’s® contest to win a $1,000 grant for their school and a new iPad for their home. To participate in the contest families and students will decorate the front of their homes with this year’s message: “The Best Me Is Drug FreeTM.” Studies show that substance abuse risks lessen when parents talk to their children about the

dangers of drugs, and that is the goal of this year’s contest: to encourage families to talk about prevention. Here’s how students and their families can enter to win $1,000 for their K-12 school and a new iPad: Students bring the Red Ribbon Week® message home by working alongside parents to decorate their front door, mailbox, fence, etc. with this year’s theme “The Best Me Is Drug Free™.” Take a photo with the family and their Red Ribbon Week®

decoration, then upload to www.redribbon.org/contest or www.facebook.com/ RedRibbonWeek by Nov. 2 (must be parents or 18+ to upload photos). The voting begins! Ask family and friends to vote for your entry at www.redribbon.org/ vote Nov. 2-16. Ten lucky winners from regions across the U.S. will win. Winners will be announced at events at their winning schools in December. “Students will once again take Red Ribbon Week’s® message of prevention home

to their neighborhoods with this national contest,” said the NFP’s Volunteer President Peggy Sapp. “By decorating their homes together with this year’s Red Ribbon theme, families carry the message to their communities.” The nation’s oldest and largest drug prevention campaign reaches more than 80 million people nationwide. The DEA is co-sponsoring this year’s national contest. “DEA is excited to partner with the National Family Partnership® on this contest that empowers communi-

ties to come together to talk about the drug problem,” said DEA Administrator Michele M. Leonhart. “Red Ribbon Week® is also when we honor DEA Special Agent Enrique ‘Kiki’ Camarena, who made the ultimate sacrifice to keep our communities safe.” Adds the NFP’s Peggy Sapp: “Take the Red Ribbon Week® pledge across America to help children grow up safe, healthy and drug free.” Visit www.redribbon.org/contest

SUNY Fredonia psychologists to host “Horses, Hounds and Healing Arts”

Two-part series to detail benefits of equine- and canine-assisted learning, therapy Contributed Article SUNY Fredonia

People from many backgrounds have reported the beneficial effects from interactions with animals, both as life companions and as service or therapy “assistants.” Scientific researchers can help us understand both how beneficial effects occur and how to protect participants from any risks associated with human-animal interactions. Animal-assisted programming has been offered in schools, workplaces, medical and mental health hospitals/clinics, military sites and senior living facilities. To help the campus and community better understand some of these issues, SUNY Fredonia Psychology Professors Bruce Klonsky and Nancy Gee and Community Psychologist Sandra Vedovato are hosting a two-part series, “Horses, Hounds, and Healing Arts: Animal-Assisted Learning and Therapy Programs,” which will allow participants to hear from experts in the fields of animal-assisted learning and therapy. Part one of this program, which will focus on horse/ equine therapy, will be held on Saturday, Oct. 20, from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the Williams Center’s Horizon Room on the Fredonia campus. Claudia Monroe, a physical therapist, hippotherapist and founder of the Centaur Stride Therapeutic Riding center in Westfield, N.Y., and Debbi Fisher, operations director for the Rainier Therapeutic Riding Center in Yelm, Wash., will speak and serve as workshop leaders in discussing equine-assisted program

services.

We will continue to meet every Monday until early summer. Classes when there is no school in session at Fredonia Central School. In 1998, Alberto Rey and Mike Conley attended Sport-

fishing and Aquatic Resource Educational Programming through the Cornell Cooperative. The seminars provided training for teachers and future instructors who would provide educational conservation experiences to children. Shortly afterwards, S.A.R.E.P. Youth Fly Fishing Program was founded after a grant was received from Chautauqua County Industrial Development Agency. The program has continued to grow over the years as enrollment has steadily increased and as the program has provided new services to the community. New mentors and instructors now include

John Straight, Jim Wilcox and Jon Storm. S.A.R.E.P. Youth Flyfishing Program is an educational program that provides children with information and experiences related to aquatic resources, conservation, ethics, and fly fishing. Fly fishing has a long history of integrating these elements into the core of the sport. The ethics of the program promotes “catch and release” as well as respect for fellow fisherman and the land on which one fishes. It is our goal to protect the species and the land for future generations. Our program closely ties together the importance of understanding nature with the rewarding act of fly fishing. S.A.R.E.P. Youth Fly fishing Program is a not-for-profit volunteer organization that relies on the generosity of the fly fishing industry and of public and private donors. S.A.R.E.P. Youth Fly fishing Program provides workshops to an average of 350 children a year.

Chautauqua Lake Students Attend Boys’, Girls’ State Contributed Article CLCS

Three seniors at Chautauqua Lake Central School brought new leadership skills and interests back to school this fall, after attending Boys’ and Girls’ State leadership programs last summer. Jeremy Lesniowski and Sam Snyder attended the 76th annual Boys’ State at Morrisville State College in Morrisville, New York, and Hannah Rauh represented Chautauqua Lake at Girls’ State on the SUNY Brockport campus. Their participation was sponsored by the William L. Travis American Legion Post 493. “With every right comes a responsibility,” observed Hannah Rauh, daughter of Megan and John Rauh of Ashville. These words were spoken by one of the inspirational speakers at Girls’ State, who expressed the importance of every individual’s role in government. Creating an “imaginary 51st state” helped further the girls’ understanding of government and politics. In the mock state, Hannah was elected to be a Senator and to serve on the criminal justice committee. “We split into several committees and created bills to

present to the Senate and Assembly,” Hannah explained. “Also, throughout the week we had the privilege to listen to guest speakers. I thought it was really interesting to hear the stories of powerful women who were in my shoes years ago.” Jeremy Lesniowski found it “interesting and refreshing” that Boys’ State offered programs like a yearbook team, a website crew, and a press corps, as well as the video editing program where he worked. While at Boys’ State, Jeremy, son of Sheila Lesniowski of Ashville, tried to observe as many political rallies as possible. “It was really amazing,” he reported, “just to watch my fellow Boys’ Staters work independently and do what they did best: lead.” “The best way to describe Boys’ State is as a microcommunity,” Jeremy asserted. “I assembled in a group of roughly fifty boys, which became my town. We worked together as a tight unit, almost like a family. We looked out for each other, much like a real town would.” Jeremy described his town working together with other towns and counties to form a state. “The most interesting part,”

he said, “was that we didn’t just function as a legislative body of representatives, but as actual members of a town, just like neighbors who live together and help each other in any way possible.” For Jeremy, the best part of the Boys’ State experience was the people: the group he lived with, the counselors “who really cared about the kids and truly believed in the program,” and the Marines “who really seemed to care for the kids.” Sam Snyder, son of Amy and Steve Snyder of Mayville, says Boys’ State helped him better understand the complexity of government. The “intensity and rigor” of the program surprised him. He enjoyed challenging himself by campaigning for different offices, but Sam reports that the highlight of the experience was “meeting motivated kids from all over the state.” Sam competes on the varsity soccer and track teams, has been a member of Student Administration since his freshman year, and is a member of Sources of Strength. He was inducted into the National Honor Society last fall and is active in the Spanish Club.

Tony’s Shoe Repair: A Third Generation Tradition By Peter Hamilton Star Contributing Writer

So you went into the closet and took out your winter jacket and when you put it on, the zipper snagged and twisted and then broke away from its track, sliding up and down the cable uselessly. Then when you found the mate to your favorite pair of shoes, one of the soles came loose. At the same time, you discovered both shoes needed laces. Then in the same closet, you may notice the heavy suitcase with the broken handle that broke away as you pulled it from the luggage carousel at the airport. Or maybe when you slipped your backpack over your shoulder, the fastening straps ripped. Would that be a bad day? Not necessarily. And certainly not if you know Tony Franchina. The talk around the village of Westfield—and around many other towns—is that if you have something that needs fixed, “Take it Tony.” The “it”

being anything - zippers, shoes, tent flaps, belt buckles, luggage straps, and hat bands. “I can repair and mend everything,” Tony boasts, easily drawing upon a verified record of customer satisfaction. Anthony Franchina III of “Tony’s Shoe Repair,” has been on the corner of Main Street and North Portage for 20 years doing just that, repairing and mending. And much longer if you count in to it all three generations of the Franchina family who have been in the shoe repair business beginning with the senior Anthony in the 1920’s. When you take your soleless shoe and busted zipper into Tony’s repair store, you’ll see a large-framed picture hanging from the wall. In that picture all three generations of Franchina men can be seen operating a venerable and family honored piece of equipment: The Landis L Aristocrat 12 Outsole StitcherSewing machine. The Aristo-

crat was presented with the “Highest Diploma and Medal” award at the World’s Columbian Exposition in 1893. It will also be likely that you’ll find Tony working at its direct descendent, a Landis Model 12. Just as Tony is a direct descendent of his father who used that very machine in Falconer during the early 1960’s, and whose grandfather repaired shoes, each employed the same handed down machine, representing nearly ninety-years of family use on the same equipment. The Landis Aristocrat looks like a cross between a KitchenAide mixer and a bench grinder. The steel casting, the brass gearing, and the chrome handles symbolizes the memorable notion that classic manufacturing workmanship represents. Tony himself represents the notion of classical workmanship; the shoe cobbler. He apprenticed under his father at the age of nine where his

father, also Tony, worked in Falconer from 1983-2004, until he moved his shoe cobbling shop to Jamestown. Is Tony a third generation cobbler? “No,” he says considering the longstanding common definition of the job description, “I like to use the word craftsman. I do so much more than just repair shoes.” This is difficult to accept because all the wall shelving is stocked with shoes to be repaired, or those to go out, repaired. “I do boat covers. Sometimes I fix toys,” he says, handing a newly mended pair of black dress shoes to a customer. “Back in the seventies and eighties, there were about 11 or so shoe repair shops in this area,” Tony accounted, “now there are three.” Then reflecting, “that I know of.” The three that he counts are all owned by the Franchina family: his father’s in Jamestown, his own in Westfield, and a newly acquired shop in Warren, Pa, called “Ye Ole Shoe

Q&A

Dry, flaking skin needs vet’s check Q: Our cat’s skin seems to be really dry and very flaky. Would a humidifier help? We do live in a very dry climate. — via Facebook A: I would guess that low humidity is not causing your cat’s skin issues. After all, cats are descended from desert-dwelling creatures, and dry conditions alone shouldn’t cause a massive amount of flakiness. Treating symptoms is never as good as treating the condition itself; in fact, it can more expensive, and even deadly. Before you start adding more moisture to the air, oil to the diet or any other quick-fix solution, your cat needs to see his veterinarian. Once the problem is correctly diagnosed, it can be properly treated. By the way, other pets actually do have a problem with the dry air of the modern home, most notably birds. Many species of pet parrots originally came from hot, humid environments. For these, dry air presents a problem and may contribute to feather-picking. That’s why parrots need to be offered frequent opportunities to get damp, such as by being misted or being allowed to bathe. — Dr. Marty Becker *** Q: Is catnip really safe for my cat? — via Facebook A: A catnip high is harmless and nonaddictive, so you can stop worrying. Every cat reacts in his or her own way to catnip. Some will be giddy, some dazed, and a large percentage won’t react at all. (Kittens under the age of 3 months are not affected.) The ability to appreciate the herb is genetically programmed, with slightly more cats in the catnip fan club than not. Catnip contains a substance called “nepetalactone” in its leaves and stems, and this is what sets cats off. Rolling, rubbing, leaping, purring and general uninhibited happiness are all normal for a few minutes after exposure. — Gina Spadafori Do you have a pet question?

ravity being what it is, even a creature made for flying spends a lot of time on his feet. This is why it’s a shame that too many bird lovers give perches too little thought, forcing their pets to spend their lives on the plain wooden dowels that come as standard equipment with most cages. The good news is that poor perch selection is easy to remedy, with lots of choices in specialty bird shops as well as bird-supply catalogs and websites.

Kittens and cats get to keep their claws by law in California. • Property owners in California can no longer demand that renters debark dogs or declaw cats in order to keep them in a rented home. The law was popular in the statehouse, passing the state Senate by a unanimous vote before getting the governor’s signature. The legislation has teeth, with a $1,000 fine for violations. It was the second attempt for the legislation: An earlier version had been vetoed by the previous governor. • Most cat lovers have never been very interested in pedigrees: Plain ol’ domestic cats of all backgrounds, markings and coat lengths are by far the most popular. Among cats with papers, the most popular breeds are Persians, Maine Coons, the Exotic (a shorthaired Persian), Siamese and Abyssinian. In the United Kingdom, what Americans call DSH (domestic shorthair) and DLH (domestic longhair) cats go by the much more endearing name of “Moggy.” • Lost dogs are found more often than cats. Overall, 71 percent of lost dogs were recovered, compared to only 53 percent of lost cats. The primary reasons given for the difference, according to a study in the AVMA journal: About 47 percent of missing dogs had identification on them, but only 14 percent of missing cats had any ID. — Gina Spadafori

She would do great with some obedience training as she is a smart girl. Her perfect family would have plenty of time to play and teach her all the stuff a good dog needs to know. If you are looking for a new best friend, come to the Strunk Road Adoption Center and meet Sheba. You won’t be disappointed. Sheba’s adoption fee has been reduced through a grant from the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation.This week we are featuring all cats, oneyear-old to five-years-old.

A week after defeating the No. 1 team in the state, Jamestown has to turn its focus into becoming the No. 1 team in the league. That’s what at stake Saturday when the Red Raiders travel north to face the Clarence Red Devils in a game that will decide AA South on the final day of the season. “Last week was great, but it’s over,” Jamestown head coach Tom Langworthy said. “I’m proud of the kids, but we know it’s a huge week. There’s a league championship riding on this game.” Jamestown delivered a 35-28 victory over Orchard Park last week, capped by a touchdown pass from Jacob Sisson to Stephen Carlson with a little less than four minutes remaining in the game. Jamestown forced a turnover on downs and a fumble in the final seconds to finish off the game. Of course, not without some drama as Orchard Park scored what would have been a potentially game-tying touchdown that was called back due to holding before fumbling the ball away on the next play. So, Jamestown ended Orchard Park’s 18-game winning streak and now has a chance to finish in a tie with the Quakers for the regular season crown. However, Jamestown would win the tiebreaker and earn the No. 1 seed based on the headto-head result.

But as Langworthy said, it’s in the past. Now, they have to take on Clarence, a team that has won three straight en route to clinching a third straight postseason bid. In addition to making the two-hour trip north on Saturday — a place Jamestown has won once in the last decade — it’s Clarence’s homecoming game. “They’re a good team that’s very well coached,” Langworth said. “And we know team’s look forward to playing

us now.” Slowing down Jamestown’s offense will be at the forefront of Clarence’s hopes for a win. Jamestown’s passing game was extremely efficient last Friday night as Jacob Sisson went 16for-21 for nearly 200 yards passing along with three touchdowns. The junior seemed to find sophomores Stephen Carlson and Zach Panebianco at will with the two combining for 10 receptions. Mike Watson, Conner

Anderson and Josh Colwell have also figured into the mix. And then there’s Da’Quan Hollingsworth, the junior running back who has gone over 100 yards in all but one game this year. He’s nearly a lock to go over the 1,000-yard mark. “I’d say it’s the most diverse offense I’ve ever had,” Langworthy said. “Most dynamic, too. On any down, Continued on pg 2

Dunkirk, Fredonia Set To Renew Football Rivalry

JAMESTOWN, N.Y. — Greg Peterson, local baseball historian and videographer, will present a film clip he has created about Hugh Bedient at the Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame sponsored Hugh Bedient Centennial Banquet Saturday, October 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. Peterson, a partner attorney at Phillips-Lytle and founder of the Robert H. Jackson Center, is wellknown for his knowledge of local baseball history and has an extensive collection of related memorabilia and research materials. He was the driving force behind the David Mule book Across the Seams that chronicles the history of baseball in the Jamestown region. A 2012 inductee of the Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame, Peterson is also rarely seen without his video camera. He has interviewed a countless number of personalities and events. His videos are aired regularly on Time Warner Cable channel 19. The Hugh Bedient Centennial Banquet will closely replicate a similar banquet that was held 100 years

of each year to grab that first win. Games were low scoring and tight, particularly in 2005 when Fredonia snuck out with a 7-6 win. Even with Fredonia’s recent success, though, the Marauders have kept games close. Last year, Dunkirk tied things up at 20 late in the third quarter, only for Fredonia to pull away in the fourth and win 33-20. In 2010, Fredonia won by the same margin, 2512, in another pretty tight game. And way back in 2009, Fredonia snuck by again, this time winning 12-7. But things will already be a little different this year. First year head coach Rob Genco will lead Dunkirk into Friday night’s game and although the win total mirrors recent years, the Marauders have certainly stepped up their competition. They’ve hung with Pioneer, Eden and Cheektowaga, three teams that all have legitimate hopes of winning the talented and deep Class B.

But Fredonia will be in the playoffs regardless of what happens this week, while Dunkirk’s season is basically

By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

Although there’s just one week to go in the regular season, the scenario’s are rampant for which teams will end up where with playoffs about 10 days away. Much of the league’s that have teams from Chautauqua County have playoff sports spoken for, but have plenty of different scenarios for how they’re ranked. Perhaps none are more intriguing than Jamestown’s, who broke Orchard Park’s 18-game winning streak and now has the possibility of winning the division. Also to that, divisional races in Class C and DD have seemingly endless possibilities.

Class AA

Jamestown clinched a playoff spot and kept the division race wide open after the defeating the Quakers last Friday night, but they’re far from out of the woods yet. They travel to Clarence and a win over the Red Devils would clinch the division. However, a loss would send Jamestown into a three-way tie with Clarence and idle Frontier (plays a non-league game). Jamestown lost to both of those teams and would consequently lose the tiebreaker, dropping Jamestown all the way down to the No. 4 seed in AA South. They would have to travel to the AA North champ in the first round of the playoffs, likely Lockport. Orchard Park can finish no worse than second. And while both teams have clinched, Frontier will be seeded higher than Clarence regardless of what happens this week.

Class B

Dunkirk’s playoff hopes were dashed with a 20-0 loss to Springville. They are also out of the Chuck Funke Memorial Classic race. Eden won the division after beating Pioneer. The Panthers look safe, but if Springville beats Olean, they’d fall all the way to third and have to win a tiebreaker over B East and West’s third place teams. Springville, meanwhile, clinches a spot with a win over Olean.

Class C

Fredonia had a chance to win the North Division title with a win over Akron. Since they lost, the top seed will go to the winner of the Cleveland Hill-JFK game this weekend. The loser will be in a three-way tie with Wilson and Fredonia. Luckily for the Hillbillies, they beat both Cleve Hill and JFK, thus meaning this three-way tie will be broken by point differential. Knowing that, Wilson (+28)

will grab the No. 2 seed. The loser of Cleve Hill (+18) and JFK (+15) will obviously have a lower point differential after Saturday and battle for the No. 3 or 4 spot with Fredonia (+11). In the South Division, Cassadaga Valley’s upset over Southwestern clinched the No. 4 seed for the Cougars. It also bumped the Trojans out of the playoffs. The top three seeds, though, are completely up for grabs. Allegany-Limestone, Salamanca and Westfield are all tied at 3-1 for the top spot. They will be the league’s top three seeds, in some order. The scenario’s rest largely on the Salamanca/Westfield game at Westfield. If Salamanca wins, they win the league, regardless of what else happens. If Westfield wins, they clinch at least a share of the title and seeding would depend on the Allegany-Limestone/Falconer game. If A-L wins that, along with the Westfield win, A-L gets the top seed, Westfield is No. 2 and Salamanca is No. 3. If A-L loses that, along with the Westfield win, Westfield is the top seed, Salamanca is No. 2 and A-L is No. 3.

Class D

All eight teams make the playoffs. Maple Grove has clinched the No. 1 seed and home field throughout. I-Prep has clinched the No. 8 seed and Catt/LV will be the No. 7 seed. Seeds 2-6 could go anywhere, though. Randolph and Chautauqua Lake control their own destiny. If Randolph beats Catt/LV, they’ll clinch the No. 2 seed. If Chautauqua Lake beats Silver Creek, they’re at least the No. 3 seed. They would need Randolph to lose to win that tiebreaker and the No. 2 seed. Of the three 3-3 teams Silver Creek (Chautauqua Lake), Portville (at I-Prep) and Frewsburg (at Maple Grove), Silver Creek will likely win any three-way tiebreaker based on their point differential.

Class DD

Clymer has clinched at least a share of the division title after finishing 5-1 in league play. Ellicottville (Franklinville) and Sherman (at Forestville) can also grab a share of the division crown with wins. That would force a three-way tie, likely to be won by Ellicottville (+67) or Sherman (+57). In the case of a three-way tie, Clymer (+52) would be guaranteed to finish third. Clymer can clinch the top seed with a Sherman loss. Sherman can clinch the top seed with an Ellicottville loss. Ellicottville needs to win and have Sher-

Panama only needs to beat Pine Valley or have Franklinville lose to Ellicottville to clinch the fourth and final playoff spot.

BLUE DEVILS EARNS NATIONAL RANKING continued from pg 1 we can run or we can throw and it’s really made us very balanced. It’s makes defenses stress that much more for us I think.” But with underclassmen at key positions, can this unit get even better? “Everybody can get better,” Langworthy said. “We just finished Week 6, so we look at this as mid-season still. We watch film every week and look for ways to improve.” One of those areas has been Jamestown’s inability to finish drives. For whatever reason, the Red Raiders are

having great success moving the ball until getting into the red zone. Twice Jamestown got inside the 20 against Orchard Park and failed to score. It nearly cost them. “We could have done much better in the red zone,” Langworthy said. “We need to have a sense of urgency to score and finish off drives.” It will be a big game for both teams, though. Not only is Jamestown looking to lock up the top seed in AA South, Clarence is hoping to get out of the fourth spot in the division. That means they’d have

to travel to Lockport in the first round, a tough task for any team. But, if Clarence were to knock off Jamestown, it would send the Red Raiders all the way down to the fourth spot (due to tiebreakers) and heading to Lockport. But make no mistake about, Jamestown’s coming to Clarence with one thing in mind and that’s to win a league championship. “We’re confident,” Langworth said. “We know we can play great, but you can’t just say it, you have to go out there and do it.”

Langworthy said there’s no hiding the fact that Jamestown has a chance to win the championship. It’s made practice that much more intense, but he’s been trying to keep his team grounded. “Every week we say we’re 0-0,” he said. “And at the end of the week, we want to be 1-0. Every week you start over and it’s no different this week.” But it will be his seniors last regular season game and a chance to leave an imprint on the program forever with a regular season championship, the first Jamestown

could have in a decade. “I’m proud of our guys for getting to this point,” Langworthy said. “For our seniors, we always say what kind of legacy do you want to leave. And this is their chance. But we’ve earned it. We’ve earned the right to play for a championship. “We’ve got a great group of kids and we try to win and do it with class,” he continued. “And I think we’ve done a pretty good job of that. But for right now, what we have to do is win Saturday.”

Gailey On Hot Seat After Latest Blowout

Chris Winkler COMMENTARY

That’s it. I just can’t do it anymore. I’ve been willing to give the Bills the benefit of the doubt throughout the offseason, the preseason, and even the first couple of losses during this regular season. But that’s it. Yes, Sunday was the last straw for me. I won’t reiterate the stats because you’ve heard them a million times by now — for each yard the Bills have allowed through five games. But Sunday’s loss was another in the seemingly never-ending punch-to-theguts that this team makes its fan base endure. The incredible part is I seem to be saying that after every loss now — each one somehow worse than its predecessor. But that’s where we are and unless I can go back in time and have my parents raise me in another city, this is my team and unfortunately, this is what I’m used to. Doesn’t mean I can’t complain. Sunday was absolutely a new all-time low. Just when you thought things couldn’t possibly get any worse, the Bills did what they always do by finding ways to surprise you by their futility. In most cases, it’s not a surprise, but no matter how bad you thought this team was after the New England game, nobody could have envisioned allowing 600-plus yards to Alex Smith and Co. Six hundred yards. We’ve had to put up with a lot of no-shows during the Chan Gailey era. Five times in 2010 the Bills were beat by more than 24 points. But, hey it was his first year. No talent on that team, right? Four more times in 2011 including the unforgettable back-toback blowouts against Dallas and Miami. But, hey there were too many injuries. Not that team’s fault, right? And finally, two more this year — should be three but the Bills staged a “rally” after trailing the Jets 41-7 in the opener — through just five games. But, hey I’m out of excuses. Pardon my French, but this team sucks. The Bills are 31st in total defense, a step down from last year. Would you believe me if I said Gailey’s best defense, statistically, was in 2010 with a team that started 0-8? According to pro-football-reference.com, the Bills are on pace for their worst defensive season ever — according to the Simple Rating System. Miles worse than the - 1971 team that went 1-13 o and had a point differential of -210. That was one of the worst teams in pro football history. What does that make these guys? Frankly, my opinion of these guys can’t be written in to public. Nobody has been able r to watch that defense and say ind “well…” or else you’re just nd not paying attention. ned It’s just particularly frustrator ing because of the investment. It’s not as though this and s,”

ut o is

team has been rag-tagged together like that 2010 squad. First round picks in Marcell Dareus and Stephon Gilmore. Recent pro bowlers Kyle Williams and Nick Barnett. Competent anchors in Jairus Byrd and George Wilson. And, yeah, $100 million free agent Mario Williams. And yet, they’re terrible. Historically terrible. I mean, seriously, this team makes you wish they still had Dick Jauron and his staples Donte Whitner and Paul Posluszny. How is that possible? Well, if there is any silver lining, it’s that we won’t have to put up with this era much longer. But, man I’m sick of hearing about that. Gailey is now 12-25 and a more preposterous 2-12 against the AFC East. The offensive guru has managed to put together a middle-of-theroad offense. Actually pretty impressive considering he’s done it with Ryan Fitzpatrick and a bunch of no-name receivers. Unfortunately, though, they’ve settled on mediocrity and that offense is what it is. Defensively, well I’ve painted that picture. Gailey says it’s his job to fix it, but I can’t imagine it will be his much longer. Old Ralph Wilson — and I mean old — has a pretty strong track record of not putting up with losing for long. He gave Wade Phillips three years, Greg Williams three years, Mike Mularkey two and Jauron three-plus. Don’t forget, though, Jauron was extended in his third year after a 4-0 start. He went 6-15 from there on and was fired midway through his fourth year. If you thought the previous four coaches had their teams regressing in Year 3, what in God’s name do you consider this? Outside of the offensive line and the backfield, every other position appears better to start from scratch. Fitzpatrick is a disaster. I’ve been on the bubble since the year started, but it finally just burst. He’s the worst starting quarterback in the league and it cannot be argued. Sad thing is Tyler Thigpen and Tavares Jackson are even worse. The defensive line is an absolute joke. The linebackers, at least, simply aren’t good enough like we all thought. And the cornerbacks, although young, look beyond lost. Chalk that one up to Dave Wannstedt if you’d like. Yes, this team can redeem itself. The talent level isn’t 2-14 bad, but we’ve also learned it’s not playoff — or even .500 — good. So what’s the point if they beat Arizona this week? We’re in for another year of mediocrity with six, seven wins perhaps, and a draft pick around 10 or 11. Funny how it doesn’t matter who coaches this team, who plays on this team, or even who puts it together. They’ll simply lose a few more than they win. Maybe that’s a shot at Wilson. I don’t know. What I do know is this team isn’t good enough and isn’t going anywhere. I’ve had enough of the Gailey/ Fitzpatrick era. You can let them ride it out to see if they can turn it around. But I’m not betting on it. It’ll be time to move on from both come year’s end.

Superior Bat Co. Provides Big Hit For Hugh Bedient Centennial Banquet Contributed Article Chautauqua Sports HOF

Jamestown, N.Y. — Superior Bat Company of Jamestown has stepped up to the plate for the Hugh Bedient Centennial Banquet set for Saturday, Oct. 20, at the Robert H. Jackson Center in Jamestown. Steve Trapani, sales representative for Superior Bat, has commissioned a special bat to honor his hometown hero Hugh Bedient. The first official Major League Baseball Rookie of the Year Award was given in 1947 to Jackie Robinson, but who were the top freshman performers before that season? The Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) conducted a vote of its membership to determine the hypothetical Rookies of the Year from 1900-1946. The winner of the 1912 American League RoY was Hugh Bedient of the Boston Red Sox Bedient, a Falconer native, was a rookie pitcher for the 1912 Boston Red Sox compiling a sterling 20-9 record while leading his team to the American League title.

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 October 22, 1912. The event was held at the Odd Fellows Lodge on Main Street in Falconer. 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.

Golson Grows Up For Notre Dame

Associated Press

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — The poised play of Everett Golson has Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly pleased with the quarterback's development heading toward a tough stretch of schedule.

"You're always concerned when you have a younger quarterback that he's going to be able to pick up a lot of things that a team like Stanford likes to do defensively," Kelly said. "They're an aggressive defense, they bring a lot of looks. But I will say this: He did a lot of things in the second half that he had not done all year. He recognized pressure, did not run out of the pocket, stayed in there and delivered some balls on time. If that continues to show itself, he's going to be very, very difficult to defend because he's got that confidence level and a strong arm that he can deliver the ball."

the season without trailing was in 1947, when they won the national championship. Kelly noted that before coming to Notre Dame three years ago, he had coached a lot of teams with high-powered offenses. Sometimes they ran up lots of points, but on their off days, they gave up more than they scored. "The blueprint here is to not to try and outscore people and turn it into a track meet. It's to control the line of scrimmage, play great defense and be solid in the special teams. It's just a choice in the way I want our program to evolve." He praised the work of his defensive coordinator, Bob Diaco. "Think about what Coach Diaco has had to defend in the five weeks: An option offense (Navy), a run-first with a quarterback in Purdue, Michigan State with a grind-it-out great running back. It's been an outstanding performance to date. We've seen it all, now we just need to build on it." ESPN's College Gameday will come to South Bend Saturday for the Stanford matchup. While Kelly is cognizant of the

Kelly said Golson is feeling more confident and he thinks his performance against Miami will be a "great step forward." "We'll just take it one step at a time with Everett," Kelly said. "We're not ready to feel like we're anywhere near the finished product, but a game like this will certainly buoy his confidence and ability to really focus in on the details of practice." No team in the country has allowed fewer touchdowns than Notre Dame (three), and the Irish are the only team in the nation that has yet to trail in a game.

Rockies Manager Jim Tracy Resigns After 98 Losses

After leading the Rockies to a remarkable run to reach the 2009 playoffs, manager Jim Tracy stepped down after a franchiseworse 98 losses in 2012. (AP Photo)

''Basically, Tracy called me and told me his intentions and we talked about a lot of different things, but he had already made up his mind,'' said Geivett, who also worked with Tracy in Montreal and Los Angeles. Energized by the young players and the challenge of fixing things, Tracy had said repeatedly the last several weeks that he wanted to fulfill the final year on his contract

in 2013. But he changed his mind after meeting with Geivett for several hours on Friday and then mulling those discussions over the weekend. Asked why Tracy resigned, Geivett said: ''I don't think there was any one thing in particular that seemed to stand out, but you'd have to ask him that.'' Tracy didn't return phone calls and texts from the AP.

Geivett said he wanted Tracy to return next season. ''I mean, that's how I started our meeting on Friday, that he was the manager of the club,'' Geivett said. ''Like I said, it was surprising.'' Geivett, however, didn't try to change Tracy's mind. ''His decision was made when he called me and I respected that,'' Geivett said. Geivett said he had no timetable for hiring a new manager: ''All the focus has been on Jim Tracy the last few days here and I just got the call today, so we'll start to formulate a plan.'' The Rockies will be the fourth team to change managers this year. Boston fired Bobby Valentine, Cleveland dismissed Manny Acta and Houston let go Brad Mills. Things changed for Tracy on Aug. 1 when Geivett, the assistant general manager, was given an office in the Continued on pg 10

Spurrier Steadying No. 3 South Carolina

things here in 2005. All that doesn't guarantee perfection in the unpredictable world of college football. “We certainly like where we are right now, but we're smart enough to know it's still a difficult, difficult road for us,” Spurrier said. That starts this week with the Gamecocks heading to No. 9 LSU to face a Tiger team angry from its season's first loss at No. 4 Florida earlier Saturday and carrying the advantage of a night game at Death Valley where the home team rarely falters. The fired-up LSU atmosphere even stung Spurrier before, his

1997 top-ranked, defending national champions stumbling to the Tigers 28-21. “They'll be ready for us,” Spurrier said. “They're ready for everybody.” Part of Spurrier's success at South Carolina is his steady approach from week to week. When he arrived, he thought too much time was spent tracking state rival Clemson and not focused on the Southeastern Conference and got both players and fans to lock on to chasing a league title. He also knew the Gamecocks couldn't let the state's best players such as receiver A.J. Green head off to Georgia

like he did before Spurrier arrived. So Spurrier landed the past four winners of the state's “Mr. Football” award given South Carolina's top prep player. Those included last April's first-round draft pick in cornerback Stephon Gilmore and current Gamecocks stars tailback Marcus Lattimore and defensive end Jadeveon Clowney. Lattimore and Clowney showed their worth against the Bulldogs. Lattimore gained 109 yards — he has 467 yards and four TDs in three career games vs. Georgia — while Clowney led a defensive effort that held the SEC's highest scoring team coming in without a point the game's first 58 minutes. Clowney said the noise from a record 85,199 people at Williams-Brice Stadium was so overwhelming, Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray had to tap his center on the backside to get the snaps off — and it gave South Carolina defenders the chance to tee off. “I couldn't hear, so I knew they couldn't hear,” Clowney said, laughing. Georgia coach Mark Richt said South Carolina certainly Continued on pg 10

Late Goals Carry Ironmen In Weekend Sweep of Springfield By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

the nse After a nightmarish start, it was an extremely successful chi-weekend for the Jamestown ut Ironmen, who swept the en Springfield Jr. Blues in a pair ce of games at the Jamestown ow Savings Bank Arena. " But, no, the way they got will there wasn’t pretty. Jamestown day trailed 3-0 on Friday with only a few minutes left in the sectheond period. Disappointing in that Jamestown was outshooting Springfield heavily, but the Ironmen just couldn’t push one across. That changed late in the secacy ond with Tyler Dunagan pushing one across for Jamestown. ed It was the winger’s third goal of at the year for the Ironmen with assists going to Victor Johansson and Evan Ritt. But Jamestown still trailed y toby two heading into the final period and couldn’t string hen together much early. Springed field goalie Matt Leon had the Ironmen frustrated for most of then night and it reached its apex when the Ironmen peppered Leon with three shots in as the span of 30 seconds, but to

no avail. The spark would come with less than seven minutes left in the game, though. Ross Pavek got into a fight with Jack Sloan after Springfield was called for tripping. Again Jamestown peppered shots on Leon, but even without scoring, it begun to only feel like a matter of time. Of course, Jamestown still needed two goals and their power play ended without one. But then recently acquired Dylan Zink took over. Zink brought Jamestown within one with a little more than three minutes remaining. He then pushed the game-tying goal across with three seconds remaining after Johansson thought he had tied it. Zink’s heroics sent it to overtime, but Johansson (two assists) and Ritt (three assists) were just as important. The teams each had one shot in an uneventful overtime, sending Jamestown to its first shootout game of the year. Daniel Cesarz and Luc Gerdes put Jamestown up 2-0 quick, but Springfield fought back to make it 2-1 and 3-2 before Tim Shaughnessy

stuffed Nate Chasteen on the final shot of game. Saturday started a bit slow, but Jamestown first shot on goal (six minutes into the game) was a powerplay goal from Pavek. That wouldn’t last for long, though, as the Ironmen returned the favor when Brett Szajner was sent to the box for high sticking. Tom Cooney pushed one across for Springfield to even things up 90 seconds later. Jamestown survived a late flurry in the second period when Springfield controlled play for much of the last five minutes in the period. Goalie Reid Mimmack kept the Jr. Blues off the board, though, and stopped 12 in the period. Jamestown then had to fight off a game misconduct penalty from Huba Sekesi early in the third, but dominated play for much of the third after a Springfield penalty a few minutes later. Still, though, the game was tied 1-1 until Gerdes scored the gamewinner off a rebound from a shot from Zink with 17 seconds left. Jamestown travels to Flint, Mich. to take on the Michigan Warriors for two games this weekend. Jamestown went 5-6-

North Division Star of the Week: Mitch Kontny, forward, Johnstown Tomahawks Johnstown is now on a threegame winning streak thanks in part to team captain Mitch Kontny, 20. This past weekend, Kontny was instrumental in Johnstown’s weekend sweep of the Janesville Jets. The native of Superior, Wisconsin, recorded three goals and an assist over the two-game weekend and was also a +3. In Saturday’s 5-3 win, Kontny scored the game’s first goal and added an assist on the last goal. In Sunday’s 4-1 win, it was Kontny again scoring the first goal of the game, which like the night before, also came in the game’s first minute. He also added a goal midway through the 3rd period to secure the win. He is tied for the team lead with four goals. “Mitch is a great leader and he leads by example,” said Tomahawks head coach Jason Spence. “He is physical player and works really hard at getting to pucks first and then capitalizing on his chances.”

Jimmie Johnson -14 (finished 17th) Despite crashing hard on the last lap, he didn’t fare too poorly since so many other drivers also wrecked. “Fortunately my car I could still drive to the finish so I passed a couple of guys that were sitting there on the bottom trying to get going themselves,” he said.

Talladega becomes‘bumper cars at almost 200 mph’

T

he 24-car “Big One” crash on the last turn of the last lap at Talladega Superspeedway on Sunday ramped up the debate about the kind of racing that goes on at the giant track these days. Despite NASCAR rules changes intended to eliminate it, drivers routinely push each other, since that’s the fastest way around. That often leads to major melees, such as the one triggered Sunday when Tony Stewart, running at the front of the pack, cut in front of Michael Waltrip, who was fast closing with a push from the cars behind him. The two cars collided and Stewart ended up in the air, bouncing off oncoming cars, while Matt Kenseth sped away to victory. Jeff Gordon, who emerged from the mess to finish second, said fans should love the slam-bang style of racing, and he doesn’t understand why there still are plenty of empty seats at Talladega. The official attendance estimate was 88,000, the lowest in years. “From an entertainment standpoint, they should be lined up out to the highway out there,” Gordon said. “That makes no sense to me.” He said that if he was a fan, he’d like to see a race like the one Sunday at Talladega. “I want to see guys shoving one another,” he said. “I want to see the Big One at the end of the race, because guys are being so aggressive, and knowing that is not something that as a fan you could ever imagine putting yourself into and sort of defying danger.” As a driver, he’s on the other side of the fence. “I remember when coming to Talladega was fun,” Gordon said. “I really do, and I haven’t experienced that in a long, long time.

Kurt Busch spins out in the No. 51 Toyota during the Good Sam Roadside Assistance 500 at Talladega Superspeedway on Sunday. (NASCAR photo) I don’t like coming here. I don’t like the type of racing that I have to do.” He said balancing the desires of fans and drivers puts NASCAR in a tough spot, but he does long for the earlier style of restrictorplate racing. “I don’t have to be happy and be all excited about coming to Talladega ... but I do remember times when the draft, and the thought that you had to put into it, the strategy working the draft and the cars in the lines, was fun,” he said. Instead he described the racing of the present as “bumper cars at almost 200 miles per hour.” “I don’t know anybody that likes that,” he said. His Hendrick Motorsports teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr. indicated he doesn’t. “If this is how we raced every week, I would find another job,” he said. “That is

what the package is doing. It’s really not racing.” Kenseth had to recover from a mid-race incident in which he was knocked off the track to even be in contention at the end. He said there’s no way for drivers to avoid big wrecks. “As you saw today and you’ve seen a lot of times, there is no safe place,” he said. His car owner Jack Roush said he expects to lose lots of equipment when the circuit visits Talladega and Daytona, the two tracks where restrictor plates are used to slow speeds but also lead to the kind of tactics that drivers generally loathe. “This car’s a write-off when you load it up in the truck to bring it to one of these restrictor-plate races,” Roush said. The wrecks like those at Talladega also have a way of scrambling the points standings because drivers who wreck out early end up far behind in the points standings. For instance, Gordon, despite finishes of second, third and second in the past three races, is still 42 points out of the lead because of a crash in the Chase opener at Chicagoland. In the past three weeks, he’s only gained five points on leader Brad Keselowski. Still, he’s not giving up on his bid for a fifth Cup title. “Our team is doing a great job,” he said. “We’ve been performing really, really well. We can sit there and really get mad about what happened in Chicago, but the reality of it is all we can do is go each and every week and keep trying to put ourselves in position to win and get top fives. “It is certainly not over yet,” he said. “If we keep doing this, I really think we might have a shot at it.”

Kurt Busch had an interesting ending to his time driving the No. 51 Chevrolet owned by James Finch. Busch ran with the leaders most of the day, and was out front when he ran out of fuel and was knocked off the track. Then he was parked by NASCAR for driving off with a safety worker’s equipment on the back of his battered car. “I got out of the car and surveyed the damage, saw that it could still roll, so I jumped back in,” Busch said. “I remembered with these engines they will run at 20 percent of fuel pressure to get it back to the garage. So I tried like heck.” He said the incident doesn’t surprise him. “This is the way my life works,” he said. “I am leading, I wreck, I run out of gas, I’m still that competitive guy that tried to get back in the race, and now NASCAR is yelling at me because I don’t have my helmet on and I’m trying to get it to the garage so the guys can work on it … “This is my life. I’m not complaining I put myself in a lot of these situations, but it’s on to good things now moving forward. I got all the bad luck out of the way. This year has been a great year to test me in every way.” Busch takes over the No. 78 Furniture Row Chevrolet this week at Charlotte, N.C., while its current driver, Regan Smith, gets into the No. 51 vacated by Busch.

Chevrolet beginning next season. Bass Pro Shops will be the main sponsor for 18 races, while Mobil 1 will be on the hood for 11 races, leaving nine races without primary sponsorship at this point. Stewart has had a relationship with Bass Pro Shops since 2001, beginning with his dirt Late Model car and branching out to his World of Outlaws sprint car team. He’s also had Bass Pro shops as an associate sponsor of his Cup team since 2009. Bass Pro Shops has been the primary sponsor of the No. 1 Chevrolet driven by Jamie McMurray for car owner Chip Ganassi. Also last week, AARP announced that it has extended its sponsorship of Jeff Gordon’s No. 24 Chevrolet at Hendrick Motorsports through the 2014 season. For the past two seasons, AARP has used its NASCAR involvement to promote its “Drive to End Hunger” program. The AARP says the program has led to the donation of 13 million meals for hungry older Americans and has raised more than $17 million. “It’s been a privilege to work with them and learn about such an important cause and the fact that they are really making an impact,” Gordon said. “I think from the beginning of this relationship, we knew it’s not going to happen in one year or even two years … “I think this is a great sign that momentum is still building and they know they need to continue to further that work. I love the fact that they’ve chosen our team and Hendrick to do that.”

3. Denny Hamlin -23 (finished 14th) His strategy of laying back in an attempt to avoid the Big One almost backfired because he was still in the back as the field was within a mile of making it to the checkered flag without a major wreck. But he came out OK and is still strong, points-wise. “We got a good finish based off of the wreck, but still it was a good solid day, and that’s all we could ask for is to not lose a bunch of ground,” he said. 6. Kasey Kahne -36 (finished 12th) He and Jeff Gordon were lined up to draft to the front, but the Big One wreck cost Kahne at the end.“You can feel it coming, you can see it coming,” he said of the crash. 5. Clint Bowyer -40 (finished 23rd) He had himself in position to win his third straight fall race at Talladega, but after leading on the restart with two laps to go, he was involved in the Big One. “I got myself in the right situation where I wanted to be, just didn’t win,” he said. “I’m not going to let it get us down.” 6. Jeff Gordon -42 (finished second) He said he doesn’t like racing at Daytona and Talladega, but Sunday’s race at Talladega allowed him to move up four spots in the standings, even though he only gained five points on the leader. 7. Tony Stewart -46 (finished 22nd) His move to block the fast-closing Michael Waltrip put him up in the air and took out 19 other drivers. “It was a mistake on my part,” he said. 8. Martin Truex Jr. -48 (finished 13th) He almost survived the Big One, but still fared better than some of his Chase competitors. “We almost made it through,” he said. “I got all the way through and the very last car came up off the apron spinning and just hit me in the door and spun me, and I had to get spun around and keep going.” 9. Greg Biffle -49 (finished sixth) He’s been on a points slide since ending the 26race regular season as the points leader, but he reversed that at Talladega and moved up two spots. 10. Kevin Harvick -49 (finished 11th) After running among the leaders for most of the race, he ran out of gas and wound up 11th at the end, which was consistent with his previous Chase finishes of 12th, 11th and 13th. His season average is 12th. 11. Dale Earnhardt Jr. -51 (finished 20th) He was fast at Talladega as usual, but also involved in the Big One at the end. That dropped him four spots in the standings and puts him more than a race behind the leader. 12. Matt Kenseth -62 (finished first) Despite winning at Talladega he’s still at a great disadvantage points-wise because of mechanical failures in two previous Chase races.

enth after leading 302 of 400 laps at Dover International Speedway. Toyota officials expressed displeasure at Busch’s remarks. His crew members explained that they chose to tune their car for speed instead of fuel efficiency, and the way the race played out went against their strategy. “I made some remarks out of frustration on my radio at the end of last weekend’s race in Dover that were very misguided,” Busch said in his statement. “I owe my friends at Toyota and TRD an apology. We have a great partnership with TRD, and they built me a motor that helped me lead over 300 laps and nearly lap the field. “It’s just frustrating that the caution fell where it did and suddenly it became a fuel mileage race and we were set up for maximum horsepower.”

Kligerman: Long road to victory Camping World Truck Series driver Parker Kligerman has made the most of a mid-season team switch. He was released by Brad Keselowski Racing after 11 races, then signed on with Red Horse Racing and owner Tom DeLoach. Since then he has responded with two fourth-place finishes, two runner-up runs and now his first major NASCAR victory, at Talladega last Saturday. “As you know, it’s been a long road to get to this victory,” Kligerman said in his winner’s interview. “Two different teams and a lot of adversity, but I was put with some of the best people I’ve ever worked with and some of the best people I’ve ever raced with. And, it starts at the top with Tom DeLoach (team owner) and this whole Red Horse Racing team.” His race-winning truck was a proven one, the same one that John King drove to victory at Daytona back in February.

ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. — The St. Bonaventure men's soccer team (3-9, 1-1 A-10) defeated the Saint Joseph's Hawks (4-7, 0-2 A-10) by a score of 4-2 for their first road win and first Atlantic 10 win of the season.

a goal. It would be Moar's first goal of the 2012 campaign. St. Joe's would not be put away so early however as just over six minutes later, the Hawks would strike again. This time it was Tim Lazorko scoring, placing the ball past Bautista into the lower left corner of the goal in the 67th minute. After trading shots with SJU once again for the next 16 minutes, Emmett O'Connor would become a playmaker once again, this time finding team shot leader Brad Vanino for the score, giving the Bonnies a 3-2 lead late in the second half. St. Bonaventure head coach would sub in Garth Brungard following the score who would waste no time finding his way into the box score. In the 90th minute it was Emmett O'Connor for a third time picking up an assist thanks to

Brungard who would score the fourth and final goal of the contest for SBU. "It was a great win for the boys" said head coach Mel Mahler. "To bounce back after a tough loss Friday and to fight back from two ties throughout the match is a wonderful achievement. We wanted six points this weekend but we'll take three points from today's win." The Bonnies will be back in action next Sunday, Oct. 14 at home against the Dukes of Duquesne. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. from McGrawJennings Field. GAME NOTES: Four goals are the most for SBU in a single game this season. Prior to today's match the Bonnies had not netted more than two goals in a single game in 2012. SBU also snaps a 10-game winless streak against conference opponents.

Tops Market Named Sponsor Of Alumni Plaza Games Through Oct. 24 Lost By NHL Lockout Contributed Article Buffalo Sabres

BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Buffalo Sabres announced that Tops Friendly Markets, a leading full-service grocery retailer in upstate New York and northern Pennsylvania, will serve as the title sponsor of its Alumni Plaza. The Alumni Plaza will be officially dedicated Oct. 12 when a statue honoring the French Connection is unveiled to anchor the plaza. The plaza, which sits directly outside First Niagara Center along Perry Street, will serve as a tribute to the 400-plus players who donned the Blue and Gold as a member of the Sabres throughout the team’s history. “Partnering with a company like Tops Markets is very

natural for a project like this,” said John Livsey, Sabres’ vice president of sales and business development. “The Alumni Plaza project is one that will resonate throughout the city because of the impact these players had on this community. Tops is so heavily involved with communities throughout Western New York and this is just another example of the commitment they’ve made to the people of this region.” Along with the statue, the plaza features six brick columns that will be covered in plaques bearing the names of all 401 Sabres alumni. In addition to the player plaques, fans were given the opportunity to purchase custom plaques that will hang alongside the player plaques throughout the plaza. “Tops Markets is proud to partner with the Buffalo Sa-

bres in sponsorship of Alumni Plaza,” said Frank Curci, Tops Markets president and CEO. “Like the Buffalo Sabres, Tops has a rich history in the western New York community and we are excited to help honor the alumni of our hometown team.” Tops Markets is the Official Supermarket of the Buffalo Sabres for the 2012-13 season. Tops Markets, LLC, is headquartered in Williamsville, NY and operates 133 fullservice supermarkets — 127 company-owned and six franchise locations. With more than 14,000 associates, Tops is a leading full-service grocery retailer in upstate New York and northern Pennsylvania.

NEW YORK (AP) — What seemed inevitable for the NHL has become reality. The league canceled the first two weeks of the regular season last Thursday, the second time games have been lost because of a lockout in seven years. The announcement was made in a two-paragraph statement. It isn't clear if those games will be made up, allowing for a complete 82-game regular season, if a deal can be struck soon with the locked-out players. Unable to work out how to split up $3 billion in hockey-related revenues with the players' association, the NHL wiped out 82 games from Oct. 11-24 — beginning with four next Thursday, which would have been the league's opening night. “We were extremely disappointed to have to make this announcement,” NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly said in a statement. “The game deserves better, the fans deserve better, and the people who derive income from their connection to the NHL deserve better. “We remain committed to doing everything in our power to forge an agreement that is fair to the players, fair to the teams, and good for our fans. This is not about 'winning' or 'losing' a negotiation. This is about finding a solution that preserves the long-term health and stability of the league and the game. We are committed to getting this done.” The union countered last Thursday by saying the NHL

forced the lockout onto the players instead of letting the season go on as planned. “The decision to cancel the first two weeks of the NHL season is the unilateral choice of the NHL owners,” NHLPA Executive Director Donald Fehr said in a statement. “If the owners truly cared about the game and the fans, they would lift the lockout and allow the season to begin on time while negotiations continue. “A lockout should be the last resort in bargaining, not the strategy of first resort,” he added. “For nearly 20 years, the owners have elected to lock out the players in an effort to secure massive concessions. Nevertheless, the players remain committed to playing hockey while the parties work to reach a deal that is fair for both sides. We hope we will soon have a willing negotiating partner.” Although there have been negotiations between the league and players in recent days — unlike a three-month break at the start of the 2004-05 lockout that forced the cancellation of the entire season — the two sides haven't gotten

Hasek Gives Up Hope Of Return PRAGUE (AP) — Veteran goaltender Dominik Hasek appears to be done with ice hockey after giving up hope of returning to the NHL again. The 47-year-old goalie resumed training ahead of this season hoping to get picked up by an NHL club, but told Czech daily Sport on Tuesday that it is ''very unlikely'' he would play again after no team offered him a contract amid the current lockout. Known as the ''Dominator,'' he was twice named the NHL's most valuable player, and took home the Vezina Trophy six times. Hasek announced his retirement in 2002 after winning his first Stanley Cup with the Detroit Red Wings, but came back and then retired from the NHL again in 2008. He then led his hometown club Pardubice to the Czech league title and then played a season for Spartak Moscow in the KHL.

Landeskog Heads For Sweden STOCKHOLM (AP) — Colorado Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog says he is headed home to Sweden to play for second-division Djurgarden during the NHL lockout. Landeskog wrote on Twitter on Wednesday that he was ''excited to get back on the ice infront of family and friends.'' Stockholm-based Djurgarden says in a statement that it has reached a verbal agreement with Landeskog for the duration of the NHL lockout. Landeskog played for Djurgarden before being picked second overall in the draft last year, and the 19-year-old left winger was named Colorado's captain in September, making him the youngest player ever to lead an NHL team.

NHL players in the Russian-based league include Alex Ovechkin, Ilya Kovalchuk and Evgeni Malkin. Also, a game between Ovechkin's Dynamo Moscow and Lev aired on ESPN2 on Tuesday afternoon. The NHL canceled the first two weeks of the regular season Thursday as the league and players have been unable to reach a new collective bargaining agreement.

Bergeron Joins Club In Switzerland LUGANO, Switzerland (AP) — Swiss club Lugano says it has reached an agreement to sign Boston Bruins center Patrice Bergeron during the NHL lockout. Lugano says on its website that the 27-year-old Canadian will arrive in Switzerland ''in the coming days'' after private benefactors helped fund his contract. Bergeron is a member of the ''Triple Gold'' club of players who have been on teams winning the Stanley Cup, with the Bruins in 2011, the Winter Olympics and the world championships. At Lugano, he will join Anaheim Ducks defenseman Luca Sbisa, who has come home to play during the lockout.

49ers Set Franchise Yards Record, Beat Bills 45-3

By Antonio Gonzalez Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Joe Montana never did it. Neither did Steve Young or Y.A. Tittle. Even the architect of the West Coast offense, Bill Walsh, could only imagine such a massive mark. Of all the Hall of Fame quarterbacks and coaches in the history of the San Francisco 49ers, leave it to Alex Smith and Jim Harbaugh to set a new standard. Smith threw for a seasonhigh 303 yards and three touchdowns, Frank Gore ran for 106 yards and a score, and the 49ers amassed a franchise-record 621 yards in blowing by the Buffalo Bills 45-3 on Sunday. San Francisco also became the first team in NFL history with 300 yards passing and 300 yards rushing. ''Very cool,'' Smith said. ''When you think of the 49ers, you think of great offense.'' Michael Crabtree (seven catches for 113 yards) and Vernon Davis (seven catches for 106 yards) each eclipsed the century mark to pull San Francisco (4-1) into a tie with Arizona for the NFC West

lead. Even Randy Moss, rarely targeted in his comeback, caught a pass for 11 yards. Smith, the 2005 No. 1 overall pick out of Utah, threw TD passes of 43, 28 and 10 yards and surpassed 300 yards passing for only the third time in his career - and first in a victory. The last time came when he had 309 yards in a loss at Philadelphia two years ago — ''a completely different world,'' he said — in former coach Mike Singletary's final season. ''Quarterback was near perfect,'' Harbaugh said. The Bills again found themselves on the wrong side of a 49ers record — and quite a

few others, too. Rian Lindell kicked a 31-yard field goal in the first quarter before the 49ers scored the final 42 points to hand Buffalo (2-3) its second straight embarrassing loss. San Francisco's previous best was 598 yards in a 34-31 loss to the Bills on Sept. 13, 1992, which also was Buffalo's worst. Ryan Fitzpatrick threw for 126 yards and an interception, and the Bills rushed for only 89 yards, most with the game well out of hand once again. ''They flat-out dominated the game from end to end,'' Fitzpatrick said. ''We just got beat bad by a better team today. There was no fancy stuff. They are who they are and they just played better.'' Far better. The Bills allowed 45 second-

half points and 580 total yards in a humiliating 52-28 home loss to New England last week. Beginning a twoweek road trip, Buffalo's baggage also traveled to the West Coast. Since taking a 21-7 lead against the Patriots, Buffalo has been outscored 90-10. The Patriots and 49ers combined to gain 1,201 yards. And with the 49ers shredding the New York Jets last week, they've outscored opponents 79-3 in their last two games. The Bills became the first team to give up at least 550 yards in consecutive games in the same season since the 1950 New York Yanks. ''I have no answers and no excuses,'' beleaguered Bills coach Chan Gailey said. ''I don't have the answers and I have to find the answers. That's my job.'' With the Bills unable to slow anybody down on defense, San Francisco abandoned its usually conservative game plan to deliver a scintillating show in the air. Smith, who sprained his middle finger in the fourth quarter, completed 18 of 24 passes. He also had a perfect 158.3 passer rating in the first half, when he threw for 237 yards — a career best for a half. The longest completion Smith had in the first four weeks was for 29 yards.

''The timetable for recovery is probably three months, so that puts him out for the season,'' Whisenhunt said. Asked if the team would look to bring in a running back from elsewhere, he said, ''We'll look and see.'' ''I feel good about the guys that we've got,'' the coach said. ''We're always going to look to get better at every position. If that opportunity is there, then we'll certainly try to act on it.'' Arizona opened the season believing that its ground game would be a strength with Wells and Williams providing a solid 1-2 punch. Now that punch is down to 0-0. ''That's the NFL,'' Whisenhunt

said. ''Teams have to fight through adversity and keep going. We've done a good job of that the first five weeks of the season, and now we've got another challenge, but that's OK. We'll work through it.'' Wells was off to a slow start as he recovered from knee surgery, then went down with the toe injury in week 3 against Philadelphia. The Cardinals placed him on the NFL's new injured reserve/designated for return list. That rule requires Wells to miss the next five games. He can return for Arizona's home game against St. Louis on Nov. 25. Williams, a second-round draft pick from Virginia Tech

in 2011, moved into the No. 1 running back spot and had a strong second half against the Eagles. But he and any other running back who carried the ball has had a tough time in the two games since then as the Cardinals managed 28 yards rushing in an overtime victory over Miami, followed by 45 in Thursday night's 17-3 loss to the Rams. Williams, who didn't take an NFL snap last season, had gained 164 yards in 56 attempts, an average of just 2.8 yards per carry. He has caught seven passes for 44 yards. ''I feel horrible for Ryan,'' Whisenhunt said, ''but what I told Ryan when we sat down was that at least he won't have to deal with it through an offseason. He'll be able to go through the offseason program. He'll be able to go through practices and that will get him in better shape and ready to go next year.'' The injury is more bad news for quarterback Kevin Kolb. The lack of a running threat had been a major contributor to the intense pressure from the pass rush faced by Kolb and his team's struggling offensive line. Kolb has been sacked 17 times in the last two games, eight by Miami and nine by St. Louis.

Arizona Cardinals RB Ryan Williams Out For Season

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — The Arizona Cardinals' already embattled ground game has taken a severe blow with the announcement that running back Ryan Williams is out for the season with a left shoulder injury that will require surgery. The Cardinals already are without Beanie Wells until at least Thanksgiving weekend because of a severe turf toe injury. The hard-luck Williams missed all of his rookie season a year ago with a torn patella tendon. He injured his shoulder on a hard hit during last Thursday he night's loss at St. Louis. The injury leaves Arizona with running backs LaRod Stephensd- Howling, William Powell and - Alfonso Smith. Stephens-Howlue ing missed the last two weeks with a hip flexor. The Cardinals are 4-1 despite their virtual lack of any ay ground game. They rank 31st out of 32 NFL teams in yards e rushing per game at 63.4. lay-Only Oakland's 60.8 is worse. ve Coach Ken Whisenhunt revealed the extent of the innd jury in his brief meeting with reporters following the team's light workout on Monday.

NFL Looking Into Williams' Injury Contributed Article Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The NFL is investigating whether Buffalo defensive end Mario Williams has an injured left wrist. Williams has not been on the Bills' injury report this season despite what he claims has been a wrist injury that has bothered him all season. But the team says he has not missed any practices or game

time. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Sunday that ''the club says he is not injured. We will follow up this week to obtain a formal explanation.'' Williams is the highest-paid defensive player in NFL history, signing a $100 million contract as a free agent in the offseason. He has not played well for Buffalo and has just 1 1/2 sacks. Buffalo (2-3) plays at Arizona (4-1) on Sunday.

BREES’ RECORD continued from pg 4 lofted perfectly to the back of the end zone. That gave New Orleans a 14-10 lead that lasted until Meachem's 44yard touchdown catch in the final minute of the half. San Diego went ahead 24-14

on Ryan Mathews' 13-yard run around left end, capping a three-play drive that started when Henderson tipped a pass that Brees threw behind him, allowing Quentin Jammer to intercept it and give San Diego the ball on the New Orleans 25.

Cooler Temps Have Deer On The Move By Steve Peacock Star Outdoors Writer

The cooler temperatures we have had lately really make it feel like hunting season despite the early calendar date. So far I have only

gotten out a couple of times, partially due to the rain we got on Sunday. I don’t like to bow hunt in the rain because it usually makes tracking a wounded deer a lot harder. The ironic part is that the deer are normally more active on those

rainy days. I have hunted twice this season and both times I saw deer and that is far better than last year. Last year the weather was extra warm during the fall. I think there were also other factors working against us besides the weather. The recent rain is actually a good thing;

I still know people who have dry water wells and the creeks remain on the low side, even after the rain. I would not be surprised to see a few steelheads starting to show up, especially in the larger creeks. I would expect the smaller tributaries to start having fish staging near

their mouths but still in the lake. If I were able to get out on lake I wound probably opt to go perch fishing not steel head fishing. Most of my friends have already winterized their boats for the year so I probably won’t get out there until next season.

Lake Erie Fishing Hotline anglers troll along weed edges in 10-16 feet of water, while others target suspended musky 20-25 feet down over 30-35 feet of water. Trolling with large, 51/2 to 8 inch minnow-type stickbaits (especially perch pattern) is a good bet. Fishing with tube jigs, plastics, crankbaits or live bait (golden shiners, leeches, crayfish) near weed edges are good bets for hungry bass.

Department of Environmental Conservation

Cattaraugus Creek is flowing at about 108 cubic feet per second, and is the best option for steelhead anglers. Steelhead catches have been reported up through Gowanda, however the bite is far better in the lower section. Look for a fresh pod of steelhead to move in following tonight's rainstorms. All other Lake Erie tributaries are very low and clear. Few steelhead have moved in and settled into the larger holes (lower sections), but are very finicky. Lake Erie steelhead commonly hit natural baits like egg sacs and worms, flies such as egg imitations, streamers and bugger patterns, and lures like minnow-type stickbaits and in-line spinners. Anglers can also target steelhead from the Cattaraugus Creek breakwall or off creek mouths by casting spoons, spinners and stickbaits.

Upper Niagara River

The upper river becomes a great smallmouth bass option in fall as waters cool and bass are on the feed. Also, conditions are often more manageable than on the open lake and boat launches on the river remain open late into the fall. Target feeding bass just outside of weedlines. Drifting with live golden shiners, crayfish, tube jigs or plastics are good bets for bass. Fall is also a good time to target muskellunge on the upper river. Drifting along weed edges with large, 8-10 inch tube jigs or casting and retrieving large stickbaits are good bets.

Inland Trout Streams 2012-2013 Freshwater Fishing Licenses can be purchased at all DEC regional offices and license issuing agents including many town clerk offices, sporting good stores and bait & tackle shops. For a map of license issuing agent locations or to purchase a fishing license online, visit DEC Internet Sporting License Sales. Licenses can also be purchased by phone at 1-86-NY-DECALS (1-866-933-2257). Favorable weather allowed yellow perch anglers to get out on Lake Erie last weekend, and limit catches were fairly common. The best

action was between Cattaraugus Creek and Sturgeon Point in 65-70 feet of water, although decent catches were reported in as shallow as 54 feet of water. Dunkirk anglers saw decent catches in 60-70 feet of water. As the boating season winds down, fewer smallmouth bass and walleye reports trickle in. However, it is typical for good numbers of bass and walleye to congregate in shallower zones in early fall. Anglers can target bass and walleye inside 35 feet of water, along the edges of rocky reefs and shoals such as Seneca Shoal, Myers

NEW DIRECTION FOR ROCKIES continued from pg 4 clubhouse and began focusing on roster management, particularly as it related to the pitchers, and evaluating the coaching staff and the rest of the players. Tracy's responsibilities were narrowed to game management and meeting with the media. ''I thought we worked together fine,'' Geivett said. ''I don't think at any time since Aug. 1 or even before that, we've had some type of difficulty working together.'' Geivett said that structure will remain in place next season but he said he didn't think that would be an issue in his search for a new manager, either. In addition to altering their front office, with general

manager Dan O'Dowd focusing his attention on the minor leagues and player development, the Rockies last summer adopted a radical four-man rotation and a 75-pitch limit with several designated piggyback relievers, an experiment that lasted two months. Geivett said the Rockies will return to a traditional fiveman rotation next season with pitch limits determined on a case-by-case basis, ''although I don't think we'll ever go back to the days of 120 pitches.'' ''I'm sure it'll come up'' in the search for a new manager, Geivett said of the four-man, 75-pitch experiment. ''But I mean, I don't see that being a

major topic of conversation, to tell you the truth, because we're not doing it.'' Tracy, the fifth manager in club history, was given an indefinite contract extension last spring but it guaranteed only his 2013 salary of $1.4 million as field manager and really just represented the organization's desire to keep him in the organization in some capacity. Geivett said he hasn't met with members of Tracy's coaching staff to discuss their futures in Colorado. ''Any time you change the manager, things can change,'' Geivett said. ''Right now, it's all undecided. But we do have coaches that it would be our intention to retain.''

Reef, Evans Bar and VanBuren Reef. Trolling with worm harnesses and stickbaits or casting weight forward spinners tipped with worms are good bets for walleye. A drop-shot rig with live crayfish or shiners works well for smallmouth bass, but tubes or plastics that imitate crayfish, gobies and shiners also produce.

Chautauqua Lake

It has been a slow week for muskellunge, however fall is generally a good time to target musky on Chautauqua Lake. Some musky

Fall is a good time to fish the inland streams as trout are on the feed and many other anglers have shifted their focus to the Great Lakes' tributaries. The area streams have low, clear flows. Moving stealthily is key. There are some light hatches of isonychia and blue-winged olives happening and fly anglers see surface action on imitations as well as terrestrials. Fly anglers can also do well with streamer and bugger patterns in fall for aggressive trout. If you need more fishing information or would like to contribute to the fishing report, please call or e-mail Mike Todd (716-851-7010; mttodd@gw.dec.state.ny.us) or Jim Markham (716-366-0228; jlmarkha@gw.dec.state.ny.us). The fishing hotline can also be heard at (716) 679-ERIE or (716) 855-FISH.

UNDEFEATED AND FOCUSED continued from pg 4 played every bit as well as the LSU team that overwhelmed the Bulldogs, 42-10, in last year's SEC title game. Continuing that level of play is the big question, Richt said. “There are still some mighty big tests for them as there are for all of us in our league,” he said Sunday. Georgia linebacker Jarvis Jones said the Gamecocks quickly got ahead by three touchdowns in the first quarter and the Bulldogs couldn't catch up. “Being down 21-0 in the first quarter, that's hard” to come back from, Jones said. “Especially by a team in the SEC.” Spurrier has a rule in place, like many coaches, that his staff and players get 24 hours to celebrate success or flush

out failure. Then it's back to work, no matter what happened in the previous game. “That's the way this team works. That's the system coach Spurrier has in place and that's the way the players will handle it,” South Carolina defensive coordinator Lorenzo Ward said. It might be hard to totally forget this one, especially with happy students and fans on campus telling the Gamecocks how great they've been. Spurrier understands and accepts that, too. The last time Spurrier's Gamecocks enjoyed this large a spotlight came in 2010 following a stunning 35-21 win over then top-ranked Alabama. South Carolina then lost a week later, 31-28, at Kentucky,

a defeat Spurrier blames more on a stalled second-half offense than players not being ready. “I blame the coaches for that one,” he said. This time, the Gamecock feature better, older leaders who've kept the team evenkeeled through the high times and the low. “You really don't ever know anything until you go play the game,” Spurrier said. “But we've got some good leaders.” Leaders, Spurrier thinks, who'll keep locked on to the next opponent while understanding that success won't guarantee anything beyond that. “We do have a chance for a big year,” Spurrier said. “If we continue on doing what we're doing.”

might have been expected but it's also disappointing because we set out to negotiate,” New York Rangers goalie Martin Biron said in a telephone , interview. “We wanted to get a deal or and wanted to avoid a work stoppage el- or any cancellations. ed “We're still working hard to find a ng solution and find a way to get the . core economic stuff figured out with the league and getting a deal that is s as fair for everybody and lasts.” s In the previous lockout, the NHL and the union didn't get together between early September and early me December. Back then, the key words in the negotiations were salary cap, linkage ly and cost certainty. Commissioner

Gary Bettman and the owners were committed to getting a deal that linked team costs to revenues, so each club would know exactly how much it had to spend on payroll and what number it couldn't exceed. Thus a salary cap was born for the first time in NHL history. The league produced record revenue during the seven years of that deal, which turned out much better for the players than expected. There are no major philosophical issues this time as there were with the salary cap fight, but the sides are far apart in financial figures. Players received 57 percent of hockey-related revenue in the deal that expired Sept. 15, and the NHL wants to bring that

number below 50 percent — perhaps as low as 47 percent. The players' association, led by Fehr — the former baseball union chief — has rejected that idea.

“The leadership that we have with Don and his team is really trying to look at the big picture and not just a number,” Biron said. “We understand that there is some tweaking and some things that have to be fixed in our proposal, but it seems that the owners are on a one-way mission to cut salaries.” The NHL claims the union hasn't done near enough to try to get closer to the league's proposal and appears willing to wait for the NHLPA to come around. Daly said the league had already lost $100 million in revenues from canceled preseason games. The players will begin feeling the real sting when they don't get their first paychecks of the season on Oct. 15.

In 2004, Daly announced Sept. 29 that there wouldn't be any hockey in October. New proposals and negotiations in December and January did little to push the sides toward a settlement, and Bettman announced Feb. 16 that the season had been lost. It marked the first time since a flu epidemic in 1919 that the Stanley Cup wasn't awarded. “Unfortunately, the lockout was no surprise.” Fehr said. “Months ago, the owners made public their intention to lock out the players, and they did so the first chance they legally could. There was nothing the players could have done to prevent it — other than to agree to the enormous concessions the owners demand.”

Chris Culliver intercepted an underthrown pass by Fitzpatrick just shy of the goal line to end Buffalo's best chance to reach the end zone all afternoon. Smith also tossed a 10-yard TD pass to Mario Manningham, Kaepernick ran 16 yards for a score and Anthony Dixon added a 3-yard run for the final touchdown. ''I'm not a big statistical guy, don't get caught up in it,'' 49ers offensive coordinator Greg Roman said. ''But at the same time, just in the normal course of events to be able to throw up that kind of production, obviously we're doing something right.''
