‘All Ye Lads and Lasses’

Jamestown Regional Celtic Festival Slated for Saturday August 27 at Mayville Park

By Patricia Pihl Star Staff Writer

Proud people, it is said that the Scottish glorify failure, never give up, and don’t take themselves too seriously.

The community will have a chance to learn more about and enjoy the Scottish culture as the Jamestown Regional Celtic Festival returns to Mayville Park at the end of this month.

Whether it’s the sight and sound of massed pipe bands, kilt-clad athletes competing in feats of strengths, or the Ceilidh, a Scottish-style party, the festival is a day enmeshed in all things Celtic and an opportunity for the community to share in the culture of the Scottish and Irish.

Event organizer Doug Clark said the event at Mayville’s Lakeside Park is one of the largest in Western New York and one of only two such festivals within a 100-mile radius of Jamestown. Last year, around 3,000 attended or participated in activities, with bands from three states coming to perform, exchange music and ideas. Clark adds, “it’s a great day on the lake with good food, and great Celtic music.”

A member of the 96th Highlanders of Jamestown, Clark says there are a number of new artists this year including Charlie Zahm, a popular soloist at Celtic music festivals, maritime and early American music events. Other new acts include MacPherson Rant from Ontario and

Ischabaha from Erie, PA. The public is invited to attend the festival’s first kick-off party, from 7 to 11 p.m. on Friday with Celtic Music by “Step-IN-Time,” featuring Monte and Marcia Jones from Youngstown, NY. On Saturday, the sound of eight pipe bands will be heard throughout the day. Performing with the 96th Highlanders from Jamestown are the

MacKenzie Highlanders of Niagara Falls, the 87th Cleveland, the Caledonian Pipes and Drums of Buffalo, Trinity Episcopal Pipes and Drums of Hamburg, City of Thorold Pipe band from Ontario and Lochaber Pipe band from Lorain, Ohio.

The “massed bands” will play at both the opening and closing ceremonies, scheduled for 12:30 and 5 p.m., in

what attendees will remember as a riveting musical experience.

Music may be the centerpiece, but the festival features other attractions, which marry history, entertainment and spectacle. These include a Scottish heavy athletics competition, a “gathering” of the clans” and Celtic

Clark says that there are 18 families participating in the “gathering of the clans,” most of whom have traced their lineage back to the 1800’s or before in Scotland and England. As an example, Clark says the Barclay clan has researched its family roots to the year 1280. Other “Clans” include Graham, Grant, Gunn, Henderson, Logan MacFarlane, MacNeil, and Turnbull among others.

Fifteen athletes will take part in the Scottish heavy athletics competition battling in such events as the 25-pound open stone throw, a pre-curser to today’s shot-put and the caber toss, where participants hurl 120 pound pine trunks, end over end, attempting to land them in the twelve o’clock position.

Here Comes the Bridge

By Patricia Pihl Star Staff Writer

Each week, The Chautauqua Star will highlight a chapter of the recently published book, A Ferry Tale, by Art Thomas.

Proceeds from the sale of the book will go towards a planned Veterans Memorial in Ashville.

The Chautauqua Lake Veterans Bridge was dedicated on October 30, 1982, but Thomas explains that a plan to build a bridge at the narrows was considered as early as 1901.

The American Bridge Company proposed two designs including one that called for long piers from each side of the lake with a drawbridge in the center. The other was for a bridge with a five percent grade that rose to 50 feet in the center of the lake, allowing for the passage of steamers. The project died after a study was appointed.

The idea was raised again in 1921 and 1923, the first with an estimated cost of $1.25

The two halves of the Chautauqua Lake Memorial Bridge were joined in the center of the lake. Construction started on June 14, 1972.

million dollars.

It wasn’t until 1959 that the state would begin studies of the lake bottom at and near the narrows, which was found to be soft for 150 feet down. However, just 3,000 feet south of the narrows, (the location of the today’s bridge) under 20 feet of silt, the bottom was found to be a compacted granular material that extended at least another 150 feet.

Initially held up by a labor strike and then a lawsuit by environmentalists, the 4357-

foot bridge was finally finished and opened to traffic in 1982 at a cost of $51,000,000.

During construction, the ferry was in use for the transportation of equipment across the narrows.

But what would happen to the ferry now that the bridge is in place?

A Ferry Tale by Art Thomas is available for sale at the North Harmony Town Hall, the Bemus Point Library and Cadwell’s Cheese House in Dewittville.

Miller Bell Tower Celebrates 100th Anniversary Contributed Article Office of the County Executive

On Sunday, August 21, the 75 feet tall Miller Bell Tower, which overlooks Chautauqua Lake and is nestled on the historical and cultural enriching grounds of the Chautauqua Institution, will celebrate its 100th Anniversary.

The Miller Bell Tower was designed and constructed in 1911 by Edward B. Green, an architect from Buffalo, NY. Green and his business partner Sydney Wicks are also noted as designing other architecture in the Chautauqua Institution such as the Hall of Philosophy and the Chautauqua Post Office.

The tower cost $5,783 to build and it is dedicated in memory of Lewis Miller, one of the two founders of the Chautauqua Institution, who died in 1899.

In honor of the tower’s centennial, the Chautauqua Institution through the help of the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation and the Cummins Foundation of Jamestown, have planned a day of celebration.

On Sunday there will be no parking or gate fees for visitors to the Chautauqua Institution and festivities will start in Miller Park at 11 a.m.

From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. under the park tent, visitors can purchase barbeque lunches, get their Bicentennial Passports stamped, and view a collection of Miller Bell Tower photos that have been submitted by

its many visitors. There will also be antique fire trucks on display at the lawn of the Athenaeum Hotel and music by the Thursday Morning Brass.

At 1 p.m., Chime Master Carolyn Benton will play the tower’s 14 bells and following the performance and opening remarks, the Miller Bell Tower Photo Contest winners will be announced and everyone will sing ‘Happy Birthday’ to the tower and receive a free birthday cupcake.

At 2:30 p.m. the celebration will move to the Amphitheater and conclude with a free Sunday afternoon concert provided by Barbershop Harmony Parade.

The Miller Bell Tower has become synonymous with the Chautauqua Institution, serving as the community’s logo, appearing on countless souvenirs, and serving as a wellknown landmark on

Chautauqua Lake. The tower continues to leave visitors with fond memories and whether revisiting or experiencing the tower for the first time, I encourage you to take in this afternoon on the grounds and help the Miller Bell Tower celebrate this milestone.

WCA Home Holding One-Day Fall Front Porch Sale

Contributed Article WCA Home

The WCA Home is holding a one-day version of its popular Front Porch Sale this fall on Saturday, Aug. 20 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the front lawn of the home’s location at 134 Temple Street. Baked goods will also be sold. All items for sale will be marked at garage sale prices.

“Some new donations from the community gave us the idea of holding another sale this fall,” Administrator Tammy Skelly said. Water cooler, basinetts, knick knacks, housewares, cookware, some-

thing for everyone! come and find your treasure.

The annual event is a fundraiser organized by the staff and Friends of WCA Home to benefit the residents with a special event or outing they can enjoy with family and friends.

Located in the original Victorian home established by its founders in 1892, the WCA Home is a not-forprofit, non-denominational assisted-living residence for senior women started by the Fredonia Women’s Christian Association. Its original charter is on display in the entryway. From the onset of the home’s establishment,

the community showed its support by donating food on a regular basis and helped to maintain the home. In the early days, fund-raising was an annual event and school children would make a weekly visit with canned goods.

Today the home, which has seen several additions over the 115 years of its existence, is overseen by a voluntary Board of Directors under the leadership of Barbara Servatius, and is fully licensed by the New York State Department of Health. Part of its mission is to remain affordable to a diverse population.

August Is Child Support Awareness Month In New York State Contributed Article Chautauqua County Health Department

The State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA) announced that Governor Andrew M. Cuomo has issued a Proclamation designating August as “Child Support Awareness Month,” in New York State. Throughout August, OTDA will highlight the importance of the participation of both parents in a child’s life.

“Parents have an obligation to support their children, emotionally and financially, throughout their lives,” Governor Cuomo said in the Proclamation. “In difficult economic times, New York State’s Child Support Enforcement Program continues to play a vital role in parents achieving and maintaining economic security for their children.”

OTDA oversees the State’s child support program and works closely with the local county departments of social services which help parents who are seeking assistance in obtaining financial and medical support for their children.

In 2010, New York State collected more than $1.7 billion in child support on behalf of custodial parents and their children.

The Chautauqua County Child Support office serves over 12,500 families. During 2010, collections made by this office recovered over $2.8 million in Public Assistance and Medicaid benefits and passed on over $12 million to custodial parents. The Chautauqua County Child Support Unit has also been actively participating, in partnership with other community service providers and the Family Court, in bringing the New York State Strengthening Families through Stronger Fathers Initiative; to local non-custodial parents. Chautauqua County is one of only a few counties in the state that provides this program. The program provides job search, job placement, parenting and nutritional education. The program has been in place since the fall of 2006 and has served over 350 individuals and resulted in nearly 200 of those individuals finding employment.

“In recognition of our County’s Child Support Unit and our County’s parents, who together have worked hard to provide children with a safe, loving, caring, and nurturing environment where they can grow, learn and excel, I have also issued a proclamation declaring August as ‘Child Support Awareness Month,” said

County Executive Gregory J. Edwards.

“Child support plays an enormous role in the economic security of hundreds of thousands of New York’s children and families,” said OTDA Executive Deputy Commissioner Elizabeth Berlin. “Studies have shown that when both parents provide financial and emotional support, children are less likely to engage in unhealthy and unproductive behaviors, and more likely to do well in school and succeed later in life.”

Child support services are available to any parent, guardian, or caretaker of a child for whom child support is needed, regardless of income.

Upon applying for child support services, local county child support operations will assist them in locating noncustodial parents; establishing legal paternity for children born to unmarried parents; obtaining a support order for financial support and medical insurance coverage for the child; collecting child support payments; and providing enforcement services when noncustodial parents fail to pay their child support.

Additional child support information is available at childsupport.ny.gov. -END-

The Chautauqua County Historical Society would like to invite the public to its next upcoming speaker program.

Town of Chautauqua and Mayville Historian Devon Taylor will present “The History of Lakeside Park and the Mayville Shoreline” on Wednesday, Aug. 24 at 6:00 p.m. in Mayville’s Lakeside Park. In addition to the speaker, a summer picnic will also take place.

Taylor has served as the historian of Mayville and the Town of Chautauqua for several years. In 2003 he published a book detailing the history of the county seat, entitled “Mayville: A View Through Time.”

His lecture will deal with the history of the area that is now Mayville Park and shoreline, from its earliest days as the outlet of the Old Portage Road running between Lake Erie and Chautauqua Lake to its current state as a gathering place for thousands of people each summer and winter. In addition, the park serves as the home of the Chautauqua

Belle and the Chautauqua Township Historical Society maintains its museum there, in the old Pennsylvania Railroad station.

“Mayville Lakeside Park is one of nearly 30 parks and beaches that delight Chautauqua County’s residents and visitors - and one of the best,” notes Historical Society Presidents James O’Brien. “We invite not only members of the historical society, but any resident from throughout the county who wishes to learn more about one of the true jewels of Chautauqua Lake – Mayville’s Lakeside Park.”

There is no cost to attend the speaker program or the picnic, but everyone who is on hand is encouraged to provide a

dish to pass. Reservations are requested by Monday, 22 by calling 326-2977 or emailing mcclurg@fairpoint.net.

About the Society The Chautauqua County Historical Society was established in 1883 and is the oldest historical society in Chautauqua County. Since 1951, the organization has been based out of the historic McClurg Mansion (built in 1818) in Westfield, N.Y. Annual Membership rates start at just $20. All members are given free access to the museum year-round and a subscription to the quarterly “Time Lines” newsletter. For more information, call 716-326-2977 or visit McClurgmuseum.org.

St. Susan’s Center Lives to Serve Contributed Article Rotary Club of Lakewood

St. Susan Center of Jamestown provided a moving and effective video about the St. Susan’s Center from the July 18 meeting of Lakewood Chautauqua South Rotary Club at Alfies Restaurant in Lakewood at 6 p.m. After dinner Sue Colwell, Executive Director of the Center, spoke about the workings of their project at 31 Water St. in Jamestown.

St. Susan’s serves one nutritious meal per day to guests of the center and on average serves 235 meals daily, with the record high of serving 500 meals. The center is open all week and almost all year, closing only Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day, and stays open even when the weather is bad enough to close other facilities as there will be guests showing up for

dinner.

Anyone can come for a meal, however, Colwell emphasized that 60 percent of their guests eat only one meal per day due to their circumstances. Many of these are families with children. When they are there at the center they are treated as guests and with dignity.

There are activities for the children provided by foster grandparents who volunteer on weekdays to do crafts and other fun activities. The meals are prepared and served by over 200 smiling and happy volunteers who are committed to providing “food, fellowship, dignity and respect to all who come through their doors.”

Funding for St. Susan’s comes from donations and much of the food is donated by area farmers and many stores and businesses in the greater Jamestown community.

“Every dollar donated to

St. Susan Center is spent in service to the greater Jamestown community.” The center partners with other area agencies to avoid duplication of services, however, St. Susan’s could not fulfill its mission without the dedicated service of its volunteers and the support it receives from the Jamestown community.

As an organization, Rotary is dedicated to improving lives worldwide and while this program provided by St. Susan Center was informative, it underlined that there are many projects that need attention locally. Lakewood Chautauqua South Rotary is actively pursuing the mission of the Rotary motto “Service Above Self ” in giving attention to many local projects in the greater Jamestown community and dedicating its fundraising efforts to that goal.

and continues until “The Sauce Boss” begins at 4:00.

Just in case you haven’t heard this before – since 1995 the “Red, White and Blues” Festival in Fredonia, NY has been bringing the best in WNY Blues Music – nationally and internationally known musicians to highlight the beginning of the grape harvest – red and white grapes transformed into wine and the ‘blues’ to enjoy them. Since then, no performer has become more beloved than the “Sauce Boss”. Bill Wharton has a heart bigger than the pot he cooks gumbo in. His events are an opportunity to get the best time around and to give to the hungry and homeless.

He is a consummate musician, performer and humanitarian.

Performing in the Gazebo on Saturday, Aug. 10 at 4:00 p.m.HE’S BACK! With his homegrown storytelling and natural-born guitar talent, the sauce boss righteously sings the blue. He gives the feeling that can only come from a life lived in the eye of a

storm. He has weathered more than his share of hurricanes, sunburn, and mosquitoes – and he’s got the chops to prove it. He has taken his blues and a huge pot of gumbo to the disaster zones of the Mississippi Delta and to homeless shelters across America – where he’s fed war veterans, hurricane survivors and plenty of other regular folks who come for music but leave with much more. The Sauce Boss offers sustenance and redemption in the form of music, food and above all, the love of the brotherhood of man. Since 1990, The Sauce Boss has fed over 175,000 people, all for free while he plays his own swampy, Florida blues. A “Sauce Boss” event transcends performance.

It’s a soul-shouting picnic of blues and brotherhood, involving everyone. And at the end of the show, everyone eats!

So come on down to “Red, White and Blues”, Friday night and all day Saturday, Sept. 9 and 10 in Fredonia, NY. It’s “The Best Street Party Around!

Meals are prepared at the Sinclairville firehall kitchen, and delivered on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays by volunteer drivers and helpers.

The 76ers began in 1976 to create senior housing in Sinclairville, and five years later, the meals on wheels program was organized. Recently the annual summer picnic was held, with site manager Paul Derkovitz cooking the hot dogs and hamburgers. Those attending added to the meal with dishes of food to pass.

At the gathering, one of the many volunteers was honored for her 30 years of dedicated service to the meals on wheels

program. Lillian Carpenter of Sinclairville has been with the meals on wheels program since it began, and served as president of the organization 15 years ago. Mrs. Carpenter was presented with a certificate of recognition created by computer artist Susan W. Sipos. Also, John Sipos, who serves as one of the volunteer drivers, put together a picture board of some of Mrs.

Boy Scouts Provide Many Positive Opportunities Contributed by John Wojciechowicz Executive Director Allegheny Highlands Council, BSA

With the upcoming new school year just around the corner, many parents will be looking for a sports team, school programs and a variety of other activities for their boys to enjoy.

This fall, consider what lessons your son will learn from their activities that will benefit them for the rest of their lives.

The Boy Scouts of America provides young men with programs and activities that allow them to try a lot of new things indoors and outdoors in all the seasons; provide service to others and their community; build self-confidence through personal achievement and teamwork; and teach and reinforce positive ethical thinking and actions.

While various activities and youth groups teach basic skills and promote teamwork, scouting goes beyond that and encourages youth to achieve a deeper appreciation for service to others in their community, to respect and know nature, and to strengthen his family’s religious convictions.

Scouting provides youth with a sense that they are important as individuals. It is instilled in them that those of us in the scouting family care about what happens to them, regardless of whether they win or lose. Developing a good work ethic, doing your best, and being ready for life’s situations are at the core of the Boy Scouts of America.

Health and wellness are also key components of the outdoor experience. As scouts hike, paddle, climb, bike, or ride, their muscles become strong and their physical capacity and dexterity increases.

Scouts learn about service to others and good citizenship through such outdoor activities as conservation projects, collecting food, building trails and shelters and conducting community service projects of many kinds.

Through helping other people, scouts learn to appreciate how they can give of themselves and use their energies to help those in need. By giving service to benefit others, scouts gain a sense of personal satisfaction and really making a difference.

Scouting’s age-appropriate activities lead to personal responsibility, high selfesteem, and positive moral responsibility. Sounds pretty heavy, but the boys just think they’re having fun doing neat stuff! As a result, when hard decisions have to be made, peer pressure can be resisted and the right choices can be made.

One just needs to hear the scout oath and law just once to know it stands for all that is good. That is probably why in our over one hundred year existence, they have stood the test of time and haven’t changed one noun or preposition. Words like “on my honor” and “duty to God, country, and others” and “trustworthy and courteous” are cornerstones of the BSA. Learning by doing is a hallmark of the outdoor

education in the Boy Scout of America. In the outdoors, youth have opportunities to acquire skills that make them more self-reliant. Attributes of good character become part of a young man as he learns to cooperate to meet outdoor challenges that may include extreme weather, difficult trails and portages and dealing with nature’s unexpected circumstances.

That whole “be prepared” thing is something we take very seriously. Young men who stay on and persevere in the Boy Scouts of America, and those who distinguish themselves by earning the Eagle Scout Award go on in life to be leaders in their place of work, their community, and their country. Hank Aaron, Bill Bradley, Robert Gates, Neil Armstrong, Gerald Ford, James Brady - and the list goes on- were all Eagle Scouts.

As schools open, you will see opportunities to join a Cub Scout Pack and Boy Scout Troop at elementary schools.

Scout leaders will be visiting your school, sending home information and hosting signup nights for parents to begin the adventure of scouting.

You can always go to www.alleghenyhighlands.org, or call 716.665.2697 during normal business hours and find where scouting is happening in your community.

This fall, start the new school year with the lifelong values of the Boy Scouts of America.

It is a fun adventure that will benefit you and your son for years to come. Boy Scouts of America: Be Prepared For Life.

Lake Experts Help to Create Awareness of Proper Shoreline Management Contributed Article Chautauqua Lake Association

side n Two of New York State’s egu- leading authorities on lake m science recently talked about The the significant connection between shoreline manage. ment and lake health at a to presentation given at the Jane lts. A. Gross Opera Center across nly from Chautauqua Institution s- sponsored by the Chautauqua Lake Association.

The presentation included l ww. reports on continued scientific research in working with herbivores and their effect on in-lake plants along with an in-lake plant assessment. The main point of the discussion highlighted the critical role that the shoreline serves in maintaining a healthy lake and that it is important to preserve existing natural shorelines while taking action to restore altered shorelines to a natural condition. The presenters described the shoreline’s role in providing habitat for insects and how

those insects play a necessary role in the life cycle of the lake and its fishery. A review of the results of the recently completed National Lakes Assessment was presented by Scott Kishbaugh, Director of the joint New York Department of Environmental Conservation and New York State Federation of Lake Associations’ Citizens Statewide Lake Assessment Program which the Chautauqua Lake Association has participated in for over 25 years. This national research showed that Chautauqua County’s lakes are not alone in their struggles and efforts for needed conservation.

“Well-managed shorelines are a must for healthy lakes,” Kishbaugh said. “Natural habitats for plants, birds and insects are enhanced by a natural and undisturbed shoreline.” Kishbaugh is the senior author of the book Diet for a Small Lake: A New Yorkers Guide to Lake Management and also conducted the national assessment where 909 lakes across the coun-

try were studied. “After all the data was collected and analyzed the most significant finding from the study was how significantly poor shoreline management affected the overall biology of the lake, water cloudiness and algae levels.”

Kishbaugh spoke about how lakeside residents should stop and think before modifying their shorelines. “Having a perfect lawn can sometimes be the downfall of a healthy lake. People need to lighten

up on lawn chemicals and think about what they do to the water quality of the lake.”

In addition to shoreline maintenance as it relates to residents’ lawns and yards, Kishbaugh also addressed how the use of in-lake plants can also benefit both a lake’s health and its beauty. “Limiting the use of lawn chemicals, planting a rain garden and opting for natural landscaping are ways every homeowner can contribute to keeping a healthy lake,” he said.

The second half of the presentation was led by retired Cornell University Biologist Bob Johnson. He spoke of aquatic plants and important insects as well as examples of current shoreline preservation work being done. He encouraged planting shoreline vegetation to limit nutrients that find their way into the lake and how such vegetation provides a healthy habitat for insects that feed on nuisance vegetation. “Insects use emergent and riparian vegetation to hide from predators,” Johnson said. “Weevil and moth populations have a significant effect on submerged aquatic weed growth.” He sited how the recent increases in population of these insects have had a dramatic effect on reducing the growth of nuisance vegetation like Eurasian milfoil. “The literal invasion of milfoil we experienced in 2006 is virtually gone, levels are at their lowest in recent years,” he said.

Johnson was formerly associated with the Ecology and

Evolutionary Biology Department of Cornell University and currently is a principal in Racine-Johnson, Inc. He is contracted by the Chautauqua Lake Association to record and monitor the aquatic plant and herbivore communities in Chautauqua Lake and to perform lake related research. He stressed how getting actively involved in shoreline management is the single most important thing people can do to maintain a healthy lake.

“The more we know about our lake, the better we can take care of it,” he said.

The Chautauqua Lake Association continues to provide the public with scientific presentations and information to create awareness of how proper shoreline management can significantly affect the health of the lake. The CLA’s primary goal is to ensure the natural beauty, safety and utility of the lake as a recreational resource.

Fredonia Opera House to Present Cooking Jamestown Audubon Center & Sanctuary Purchases Discovery Tools with Help from with the Calamari Sisters The All-Singing, All-Dancing, All-Cooking Musical the Community Foundation Contributed Article

Audubon Center and Sanctuary

Fredonia Opera House

The 1891 Fredonia Opera House will present a unique musical comedy show, Cooking with the Calamari Sisters, on Aug. 19, at 8 p.m.

“We’re very excited to be presenting this production,” says Opera House Executive Director Rick Davis. “Known as the ‘All-Singing, All-Dancing, All-Cooking Musical,’ this show is very funny. It has great characters, one-liners, a bit of slapstick and audience participation. And it features a number of old Italian songs that many in our community grew up listening to.” Davis notes that the show is intended for mature audiences as some of the humor is adult in nature.

The show features two larger-than-life Italian sisters, Delphine and Carmella Calamari, who host their own public access cable cooking show, MANGIA ITALIANO. Born and raised in Brooklyn, Delphine and Carmela are the darlings of the Bay Ridge culinary community. Their show is always cooking up fun with new family stories, wacky dishes and crazy songand-dance routines to favorite tunes from the Italian-American songbook and beyond!

This particular episode of their show is definitely out of the ordinary because it is Carmela’s last day on the show; the sisters are splitting up.

Carmela is moving on. She laughs and says, “Basically, I’ve hit the big time! Well, not the big time. That would be the Food Network!”

Thanks to a recently approved Community Service Grant, the Jamestown Audubon Society was able to purchase new discovery tools to be used by children and adults in their exploration of the Audubon’s wetland preserve. Officials at the Audubon will be able to continue pond dipping with day camps, school groups, and the public because of the help from the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation.

Pond dipping is a popular activity with the kids at the Audubon, as they are able to discover a number of creatures including tadpoles and grown frogs. If you would like to Hilarity, bawdiness, failed dishes and food fights ensue learn more about Community during this live “broadcast” of a public access cable cooking show hosted by two larger-than-life Italian sisters, Service Grant Funds, please Delphine and Carmela Calamari.

1891 Fredonia Opera House on Fri., Aug. 19, at 8 p.m.

With a little help in the kitchen from audience members, the sisters fill two hours with hilarity and musical numbers as they try to make it through their final broadcast together in one piece. The sisters sing and dance their way through four courses of Italian food with such beloved favorites as Volare, Come On a My House, Botcha Me, Que Sera Sera, That’s Amore, and of course, Mambo Italiano!

Cooking with the Calamari Sisters is part of the Spotlight Series of events, generously sponsored by DFT Communications. Tickets are $23 ($20 for Opera House members) and may be purchased in per-

son or by phone at 716-6791891 Tuesday through Friday, 1 to 5 p.m. and Saturday, 2 to 5 p.m. or online anytime at www.fredopera.org. This event also is made possible in part, with support from the United Arts Appeal of Chautauqua County.

The 1891 Fredonia Opera House is a member-supported, not-for-profit organization located in the Village of Fredonia Town Hall in downtown Fredonia. A complete schedule of events for the Opera House is available at www.fredopera.org.

More than 40 corporate and community leaders gathered today at a special kick-off breakfast held at the Jamestown Community College Campus in Jamestown. They came together to pledge their support in the fight against breast cancer by participating in the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event.

Making Strides Against Breast Cancer is a noncompetitive, inspirational walk that raises awareness and funds for the American Cancer Society’s breast cancer research programs, as well as local patient and family service programs.

Last year, more than 700 people participated in the event, which raised $65,000.

This year’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event will be held on Oct. 16 on the Jamestown Community Col-

lege Campus in Jamestown.

“As we’ve witnessed here today, breast cancer touches so many,” said Mike Porpiglia, community executive for the American Cancer Society. “It’s amazing to see so many from the community rally around this event.”

Google’s Patent Play: $12.5B for Motorola Mobility

By Michael Liedtke And Peter Svensson AP Technology Writers

It may be the boldest move yet by a company known for being audacious: Google is spending $12.5 billion to buy Motorola Mobility. But the big prize isn’t Motorola’s lineup of cellphones, computer tablets and cable set-top boxes.

It’s Motorola’s more than 17,000 patents, a crucial weapon in an intellectual arms race with Apple, Microsoft and Oracle to gain more control over the increasingly lucrative market for smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices.

If approved by federal regulators, the deal announced Mon-

day could also trigger more multibillion-dollar buyouts.

Nokia Corp., another cellphone manufacturer, and Research In Motion Ltd., which makes the BlackBerry, loom as prime targets.

The patents would help Google defend Android, its operating system for mobile devices, against a litany of lawsuits alleging that Google and its partners pilfered the innovations of other companies.

In addition to the existing trove of patents that attracted Google’s interest, Motorola, which introduced its first cellphone nearly 30 years ago, has 7,500 others awaiting approval.

Phone makers and software companies are engaged in

all-out combat over patents for mobile devices. The tussle has been egged on by the U.S. patent system, which makes it possible to patent any number of phone features.

Patents can cover the smallest detail, such as the way icons are positioned on a smartphone’s screen. Companies can own intellectual-property rights to the finger swipes that allow you to switch between applications or scroll through displayed text.

Apple, for example, has patented the way an application expands to fill the screen when its icon is tapped. The maker of the iPhone sued Taiwan’s HTC Corp. because it makes Android phones that employ a similar visual gimmick.

The iPhone’s success triggered the patent showdown.

Apple’s handset revolutionized the way people interact with phones and led to copycat attempts, most of which relied on the free Android software that Google introduced in 2008.

Android revolves around open-source coding that can be tweaked to suit the needs of different vendors. That flexibility and Android’s growing popularity have fueled the legal attacks. About 550,000 devices running the software are activated each day.

Many upstart manufacturers, like HTC, had only small patent portfolios of their own, leaving them vulnerable to Apple Inc. and Microsoft

Corp.

Getting Motorola’s patents would allow Google to offer legal cover for HTC and dozens of other device makers, including Samsung Electronics Co., that depend on Android.

The deal is by far the largest Google has pursued in its 13-year history. Motorola Mobility’s price tag exceeds the combined $9.1 billion that the company has paid for 136 previous acquisitions since going public in 2004, according to filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Buying Motorola also would push Google into phone and computer tablet manufacturing, competing with other device makers who rely on

Android. The largest makers of Android devices are all supporting a deal that Google CEO Larry Page said was too tempting to resist.

“With mobility increasingly taking center stage in the computing revolution, the combination with Motorola is an extremely important step in Google’s continuing evolution,’’ Page told analysts in a conference call Monday.

Google pounced on Motorola less than two months after a group including Apple and Microsoft paid $4.5 billion for 6,000 patents owned by Nortel, a bankrupt Canadian maker of telecommunications equipment.

StarNewsDaily.com • 366.9200 (Dunkirk/Fredonia) • 338.0030 (Jamestown)

Social Networking to Increase your Sales One of the main focuses of the Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce is to increase sales and reduce costs for our members. Now, as our world grows increasingly digital, we are finding new ways to drive traffic to our member businesses. SellingHive is one way to do just that.

Think of SellingHive as social networking for sales. SellingHive allows sales people and businesses to collaborate in new ways; individuals can manage current sales contact lists and business prospects through the power of the SellingHive network, creating new business opportunities for both the business and the sales person.

SellingHive, which is getting its start in the SUNY Fredonia Technology Incubator in Dunkirk, has been in its offline start up phase for several

months. The Chamber of Commerce has signed several local companies and their sales staffs on as start-ups in SellingHive.

Now, as it goes live in the next week, additional businesses and sales teams will be able to take advantage of it. Our current members participating in the SellingHive focus group are Dawson Metal Company, Mazany Contract Interiors, Dahlstrom Roll Form, Jamestown Electroplating, Jamestown Furniture Hardware, Excelco, and Fancher Chair.

In conjunction with this live launch, the Chamber will host the second in a series of Go Social trainings at 8:00am August 24 at the Robert H. Jackson Center in Jamestown.

You can register online at www. chautauquachamber.org or by calling the Chamber at 3666200 or 484-1101. This event is free to all Chamber members

and will focus solely on the power of SellingHive and the sales opportunities it presents for local businesses. In the months ahead, the series will address a number of topics including creating an effective offer, developing your catalog, and establishing a commission structure.

Chamber members will receive electronic invitations from SellingHive to join. If you don’t receive an invitation and want one, please contact the Chamber. Initial invitations will be offered exclusively through the Chamber of Commerce, and then later in August current members will be able to start inviting others to join. We hope you will accept the invitation and join the SellingHive team as we work together to create sales opportunities and growth for all of our members.

Energy Topics to be Discussed The Chamber and Manufacturers Association will help to present two very different events in the coming month, both focused on energy.

The first is a session on how regional firms can get involved in manufacturing products and materials used in the off-shore wind energy business. This event will be held at 8:30am, Tuesday, September 13th at the Clarion in Dunkirk. It is sponsored by Buffalo Niagara Enterprise, Apex Wind Energy,

Phillips Lytle, and the Chautauqua County Industrial Development Agency. There is a $10 charge to help cover the cost of breakfast.

The second is September 20th and is a free event co-hosted with the Small Business Development Centers in Chautauqua County and Buffalo. It is designed for businesses to learn about funding for energy efficiency and to save money by reducing energy costs. Topics will include energy audits,

rebates and subsidies for energy efficient measures, and other incentives to qualified businesses. This 8:30am event will be held at the SUNY Fredonia Technology Incubator in Dunkirk.

For more information, or to register for either event, contact the Chamber at 366-6200 or 484-1101, or visit our web site at www.chautauquachamber. org.

Chamber Golf Tournament Set for September 1 Tri-County Country Club in Forestville will host the Annual Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce Golf Tournament this year on September 1. The tournament includes an 11:00am shotgun start and a fourperson scramble. The cost per person is $150 for Chamber/ MAST members or $175 for non-members. Sponsors are DFT Communications, The Observer, The Post-Journal,

Chautauqua County Industrial Development Agency, Cott Foods, Community Bank, Fredonia Place, Lake Shore Savings Bank, Lawley Tradition Agency, NRG Dunkirk Power LLC, Petri Baking Products, and Stearns & Wheeler. To register, call the Chamber at 716-366-6200 or 716-4841101, or visit the web site at www.chautauquachamber.org.

Bright Choices

Open Enrollment Sessions Scheduled The Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce has scheduled Open Enrollment meetings for its Bright Choices insurance program. Open to current Bright Choices members and those who may be interested in the awardwinning program, the sessions will be held Wednesday, September 28 in Jamestown

and Thursday, September 29 in Dunkirk. The meetings will be held from 7:30-9:00am and from 5:30-7:00pm each day, in order to give current and prospective customers options for attending. Bright Choices representatives will provide a presentation, followed by time for questions and answers.

Chamber Annual Awards Banquet Set for October 6 Lieutenant Governor Robert Duffy will be the keynote speaker for the Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce Annual Awards Banquet Thursday, October 6th at the Chautauqua Suites Meeting & Expo Center in Mayville. The Lieutenant Governor will speak

on the topic of New York State’s new Regional Economic Development Councils. As chair of each of the ten regional councils in New York State, Lieutenant Governor Duffy is working with many stakeholders from business, government, higher education, labor, agriculture,

Tax Matters Social Security

You Auto Know

at

t org.

By Kelly Haggmark Contributing Writer

Social security benefits can be taxable either in total or in part based on your total income for the year and the calculation to determine what is taxable is not a simple one. Fortunately for tax preparers, our tax software can calculate this for us. I always believe; however, that it is important to understand how that calculation is done and to check to make sure the software is doing it right.

Without getting into every detail, the calculation goes basically like this. You take ½ of your social security benefits for the year and add to it your earned and unearned income.

Next add in tax exempt interest.

If you are married, you would include everything for both you and your spouse regardless of whether or not you both collect social security. So what is the difference between earned and unearned income. To put it

simply, earned is money you get from work or owning a business and unearned is from sources such as interest, dividends, and investments such as capital gains or sales of stocks.

From this you subtract adjustments to income such as student loan interest, ½ of self employment tax, alimony paid, IRA deduction, and self employment health insurance. Here’s where the cut off come in. If the result is less than $32,000 for married filing jointly or $25,000 for all others, none of your social security benefits will be taxed. If it is more, we continue on with the calculation.

This part gets really messy so we may get lost in the numbers.

From your last calculation, you deduct your annual social security benefit and then compare that number to ½ of your social

security benefits. Next you apply 85% to the smaller number and then add that result to ½ of your social security benefits.

And that is your taxable social security benefit for the year.

What I love about the tax software I use is that I can print out a worksheet that shows this calculation line-by-line and that comes in handy when explaining this to my clients. I can also use this worksheet to determine how much a person or couple can have in earned and unearned income to stay below the threshold, keeping their social security benefits untaxed.

If you would still like to work while receiving benefits, but don’t like the thought of paying any taxes on those benefits, you can do this calculation to determine how much money you can make and still collect

without being taxed. If you think about it, the money you paid in social security taxes throughout your working life came from income that was already taxed. If you pay taxes on the benefit you collect, it really comes down to double taxation and no one likes that.

Determining Family Succession for a Franchise

involved in the business, and if they have the interest to take it over, writes Dean Zuccarello for Franchising.com.

“Choosing a suitable and qualified successor proves to be a difficult task when more than one child is interested in taking over the company, or when a child lacks the necessary skill set to effectively manage the company on their own,” explains Zuccarello.

“Additionally, parents may be unwilling to hand over the reins fearing a loss of status, or solely because they do not wish to retire at the time the kids are ready to take over the business,” he adds.

Zuccarello suggests that franchisees ask themselves a number of questions to assess the

transition situation, including what their needs and objectives are, what their children will do if they don’t transfer the business, how they will manage their personal financial risk and if their children would actually be able to manage and grow the business without their assistance.

Mary Jane DeJaager, Liberty Tax Area Developer for Buffalo, NY commented about succession planning with franchisees. DeJaager advises that “It is important for area developers/franchisors to have long-term goal planning sessions early on in the franchisee experience. This sets the stage to achieve the franchisee’s goal as well as ensuring the longterm success of the business.”

YMCA Offers September Promotion

Business Profile

Thrifty Kitty

By Mallory Diefenbach Star News Writer

Located on East Main Street in Westfield, there is small, quaint shop which goes by the name of Thrifty Kitty. It is a non-profit thrift store run by the Westfield Stray Cat Rescue.

Thrifty Kitty sells a plethora of items from clothing to children toys to books to cute little knick-knacks.

“The proceeds from the store go to pay for things for our cats,” said Judy Loomis, one of the Directors of Thrifty Kitty and co-founder of Westfield Stray Cat Rescue, “their food, their medical bills.”

Loomis admitted with a laugh they stole the idea to open a thrift store from Chautauqua County Humane Society.

“When they opened their Second Chances and we went there a few times we thought ‘this is a great way to make money,’” said Loomis. “Then we heard how much money they were making, we thought ‘that’s a really great way to make money.’”

The original location wanted for Thrifty Kitty was a place where the shelter and thrift store could be located in the same building. Unfortunately,

the ideal situation didn’t work out. While they did get a location for the thrift store, the building is not big enough to house the shelter as well.

“We are…saving for a physical shelter,” said Loomis. “Right now all our animals are in

foster care.”

Westfield Stray Cat Rescue has been around since Feb. 2007 and has placed over 400 cats in new homes since its launch.

Currently there are 29 cats up for adoption.

“There were three of us

[who started Westfield Stray Cat Rescue],” said Loomis.

“Hilda Spann, me and Celeste [Kerns]. We had worked with the dog shelter…and when a few cats came in we took care of them. Gradually a lot of cats came in, and they decided they didn’t want cats. So, we decided we’d just try to do it on our own.”

If you want to adopt a cat, there is an application which you fill out asking questions about your current living arrangements. They will also ask you for a reference from your vet or a non-relative who can vouch for your character. The cats will have received all of its shots for its age and have been tested for disease. The cost for adoption is $40.

Thrifty Kitty is open Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. If you want to make a donation to the store, it must be done during store hours. Donations which are not accepted are mattresses, box springs, TVs, exercise equipment, cribs, high chairs, text books, manuals, magazines, luggage, computers and monitors.

For additional questions or information call Thrifty Kitty at 326-2404 or visit www.westfieldstracatrescue.com.

During this time the rescued dogs will be located in a specific area of the shelter so that people can spend time with them and explore adoption possibilities. The promotion is made possible by grants from the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation.

Anyone who adopts one of these dogs that day will receive a reduced adoption fee of $50 and $30 off obedience classes with canine behavior specialist, Andrea DiMaio. Adopters will also be furnished with a free bag of dog food and a new dog bed.

Erie Goes Green, Saving Paper and Cash

By Valerie Myers Erie Times-News

governments are doing more business electronically to save paper, including cash.

The Erie School District saved almost 4 million sheets of paper and $22,000 in the last school year by discouraging unnecessary printing, assistant schools Superintendent Walt Strosser said.

A new Erie County initiative to distribute monthly financial reports by e-mail will save an estimated $1,000 a month on ledger paper, said Sue Ellen Pasquale, manager of general accounting for the county.

Additional paperless initiatives are also under way or planned to save some green for taxpayers.

“It’s kind of a synergistic thing going on. And it’s building,’’ Erie County Clerk Doug Smith said.

Erie’s Northwest Pennsylvania Collegiate Academy has been on the leading edge of that synergy, and this fall will launch its biggest paperless project yet.

Incoming freshmen will do all class work and homework electronically. Even field-trip permissions and other parent notifications will be handled online and via the district’s automated phone system, Associate Dean Jim Vieira said.

“We expect this next freshman class will be the first to go 100 percent paperless,’’ he said.

The school previously reduced paper in the two classes that used the most of it, computer and language arts, Vieira said.

Teachers trained themselves and others to use e-mail, Google Docs and Wikispaces instead of paper to assign and accept student work.

Students submit assignments via home computer, school laptop or computers available in school labs, Vieira said.

“Teachers and students have bought into this, and being paperless is culturally acceptable,’’ Vieira said. “As the class of 2015 comes in, a lot of the big stuff is in place.’’

Collegiate Academy’s first paperless class is part of a larger Erie School District initiative to save paper and paper costs.

A centralized printing program that began the last school year requires teachers and staff who need more than a few dozen paper copies to order them from the district print shop at Central Career and Technical School.

Employees who previously printed their own copies in individual school offices now are printing less, said Strosser, the district’s assistant superintendent.

“Just by centralizing that, people seemed to think twice about printing stuff willynilly,’’ he said.

In July 2009, the district ordered 6,000 cases of paper for the coming school year and had used it all by the following April. In July 2010, the district cut that order by 800 cases, and had 200 unused

cases at the end of the school year, Strosser said.

Each case of 5,000 sheets of paper cost the district $27.23 in 2010-11, print manager Joy Fetzner said.

The $22,000 annual savings, though modest compared to staff cuts and other reduced spending, is still good news for the cash-strapped district and has generated additional savings, Strosser said.

“We can print much more efficiently, for a fraction of the cost, in the print shop. Before that, we were going through toner, ink and printers in all of the schools. Now we don’t want to replace desktop printers at all,’’ Strosser said.

The Erie School Board will join staff in saving paper this fall. New software will allow board Secretary Robin Smith to scan agenda documents and deliver them to board members via e-mail, saving as many as 200 pages printed for each of nine school directors at each meeting, Smith said.

That would save about five cases of paper each year, and about $136, for monthly business meetings alone. The Erie School Board also convenes in work sessions and special meetings most months.

“Right now at meetings, each director gets a stack of paper about an inch thick,’’ Smith said.

A similar paperless initiative

by Erie County Council has saved county taxpayers the cost of about nine cases of paper, or between $232 and $308 annually, since council

members first booted up their laptops in 2007, County Clerk Doug Smith said. That’s despite an increase in state regulations, requirements and communications -- many of which would previously have been committed to paper.

“Council agendas might be 200 pages long, and we routinely made paper copies for years for 15 or 20 people in this building. We’re down now to about three paper copies for people who still request them,’’ Doug Smith said.

A larger project, to distribute monthly financial statements by computer, will save the county about $12,000 a year on ledger paper, said Pasquale, the county’s accounting manager. A separate initiative soon will computerize all county invoices and payments.

The savings in paper checks alone should be significant, said Robert Catalde, the county’s clerk of courts. “The county pays a lot of bills,’’ he said.

Beyond that, electronic payments will save significant staff time, Pasquale said. The bank will automatically match cleared checks against the electronic file that the county sent.

“We spend two weeks a month reconciling our bank account. With this new system, I expect that to be cut in half so that staff can move on to other tasks,’’ Pasquale said.

There is always more work to do, Pasquale said.

“Council has cut 70-some

jobs in the last couple years, or a little less than 10 percent of our staff. At the same time, all of that work is still here,’’ she said.

The new paperless initiatives are among the first recommendations of a joint committee of elected officials and staff looking for ways to complete necessary tasks and communicate them to other county departments without cutting services.

“One of the first things that really came to mind were ways that we could save on paper and kind of pursue a green strategy throughout the various branches,’’ Doug Smith said.

Earlier paperless programs in the county have benefited the public in more ways than paper and employee savings.

Public access to county records has also improved, county officials said.

County court, property and estate records digitalized 10 years ago can be accessed for free on computers at the courthouse, or from any computer for a fee.

As those records went online, other departments began to post more information, including County Council agendas, on the Web, Doug Smith said.

“It’s not just an issue of getting into the paperless age. It’s about helping the public get information,’’ he said.

Governments are required by law to keep certain paper records, but that may not be

the case for long, said Catalde, the county’s clerk of courts.

“Other states do allow for electronic filing of documents and pleadings, and I think that we will see that in Pennsylvania within the next couple of years,’’ Catalde said.

In the meantime, the county recently leased 13,000 square feet of storage space outside the Erie County Courthouse for $16,236 annually, and additional records remain stored in the courthouse.

Cost and storage savings aside, not all public officials are sold on doing business electronically. A few county officials still request paper documents, Doug Smith said.

Millcreek Township School Director Ron Wilga understands some of the reasons that they do.

Wilga has been using a district-issued laptop to conduct school business for the past four years, but said that he is not entirely comfortable with it.

“When you’re into an agenda and need to see a document, it sometimes takes a while to go to it on the computer, where you used to simply flip a page and get there,’’ Wilga said. “I could also make a note a little easier in the margins.

“I still multitask better on paper.’’

Guns in the Home

By Randy DeVaul Whatever your reason may be – hunting, personal protection, sport target shooting – if you own a gun and keep it in your home, you will most likely know the safety rules and how to safely handle and store your gun in and around

your family. Here are some reminders to help reduce the risk of something going dreadfully wrong and help the rest of your family properly respect any weapon.

Here lies yet another direct parental responsibility with kids. Any parent who owns a gun must begin early in a child’s life to train that child on gun safety and gun respect.

Of course, what you are able to teach and show your child depends on the age of your child. As he gets older, there should be more discussion

and demonstration of safe handling and storage of a gun.

Early on, kids need to develop proper etiquette around guns.

You can start with a toy gun at an early age by explaining how a gun really works and how to treat a gun properly vs. the misguided handling of guns seen on television and movies that are purely designed for entertainment and, for the most part, could never be used the way they are depicted on the screen.

As your kids get into pre-teen years, perhaps you will get

them a b-b gun. Explain that this type of gun is already designed to kill – hunting small game, birds, etc and must not be ‘played’ with the same as the toy guns. Target practice is great, but they must also know if the target becomes a living creature, they could end its life. If hunting and that is the intent, explain that. If target shooting and suddenly we find ourselves trying to hit moving targets, such as birds, they need to know ahead of time the consequences if they actually hit that target.

At this stage, this allows you as the parent to again discuss more in detail about guns, the fact that you always treat a gun as if it is loaded, and how to properly carry, secure, and store a gun. If you hunt and decide one day to take your child with you, be sure to explain about how, where, and when to point a loaded weapon and don’t carry it loaded through the wilderness where you can have an accidental shooting.

When you as the parent decide your child is old enough

to actually move up to a ‘real’ gun – a hunting rifle or larger caliber handgun, you need to go with them to a gun safety course and perhaps go to a shooting range a couple times to reinforce proper handling.

Certainly when storing your gun(s) at home, don’t keep the gun loaded and don’t keep the gun accessible to the kids.

Use trigger locks and keep any gun in a safe place, out of kids’ reach.

I am not against gun ownership. I am for ensuring you and your family are safe!

liked the fun, happy font for a lighthearted occasion like this one. The journaling was done in the “Kristen ITC” font to continue with the same spirit but making it easier to read and not overdosing on the crazy.

The journaling block was created to look like a present to go along with the overall theme and also to use the red in the bow to create a visual triangle between the “1988” text, peppermint and Santa hat embellishments and the journaling itself.

Hopefully, I can continue to create more layouts of actual holiday photos before the snow flies without being too miserable about the summer inching closer to fall. There’s no way I’m going to start my shopping yet, though. There’s

just something not right about that.

Scrapbooking Today

A Wedding Shower Gift More Beloved Than a Toaster

By Anne Walterich Contributing Writer

There are many things that depress me about mass retail culture. The process of entering a store and being instantly overwhelmed with displays for upcoming holidays produces an “Incredible Hulk” like rage in me, without the morphing-into-a-greenmonster-and-smashingthings part. Back-to-School items should not be displayed before Independence Day. Halloween items seem out of place in August. Christmas just should not rear its peppermint-striped self anytime before October.

Scrolling through my inbox last week, Michael’s Craft Stores sent me a friendly

reminder to get started on my holiday crafting, and I was instantly saddened. It’s difficult to watch the sunsets move a little further West every night and not think about the summer season coming to a close. I didn’t think I needed a reminder from Corporate America to prepare to buy more products and do my part to increase their bottom line.

In a way, though, I do have to thank those sinister merchandising folks, because they reminded me to get off of the proverbial couch and get back to the Christmas digital scrapbook album I’ve put aside during the summer months.

This year, I really WILL finish it in time to give a copy to everyone in my family.

While going through the pho-

tos I want to scrap, though, I was laughing out loud. I found our family’s “Christmas in July” themed family picnic photos in with the traditional December ones, and I knew just where to begin. I could work on my holiday photos within the context and spirit of a summertime picnic. It made me even more grateful for my family’s wackiness, because they are the only people I know crazy enough to have a reunion like this one. We Polish people love Christmas so much that in 1988 we decided to have it twice.

I created my own template for this digital project, intending for the family photo to be the focal point. (My mother is the elf on the left, and she is not wearing pants.) I think that despite the frame and larger

size, though, the supporting photo of 9-year-old me glaring at my father for daring to take my picture while I was clearly in the middle of a delicious popsicle steals the show on this layout. Of course I have an attitude – I was dressed as a Christmas tree in the middle of July!

I debated whether to put the supporting photos on a second layout, but ultimately decided to let the page stand on its own. These were the only photos from that day, and creating a second layout seemed like overkill to me.

I used the “Jokerman” font for the “Grzankowski Family Picnic 1988” words, but laid them in the same orientation as the “Family Picnic Events” agenda visible in the focal point photo for consistency. I

Keeping the Faith Dear Pastor, what kind of miracles does God perform today?

By Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church of Chautauqua County

Last week we looked at scriptures that showed that God is still in the miracle-working

business. In this column we’re going to examine the type of miracles that God performs today.

So are today’s miracles somehow different than the ones we see in the Bible? To answer that, let’s first look at Hebrews 13:8, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” This verse tells us that what God did in the Old Testament and during the days of the apostles, He will still do today. God does not change (Malachi 3:6, James

1:17). Given that understanding, we can now look to the Bible and see the major types of miracles that God has done and continues to do today.

One of the most common miracles we see in the Word concerns healing. In the Old Testament many were healed by miraculous means. For example, Naaman was healed of leprosy, Sarah was healed of infertility, and a widow woman had her son raised from the dead! In the New Testament, miracles of heal-

ing were frequently documented. The Gospels states many times that everywhere Jesus went He healed people.

Luke 6:19 sums it up… “And the whole multitude sought to touch Him (Jesus), for power went out from Him and healed them all.” The Godinspired writers of the Bible also specifically documented many miracles of healing throughout the Book of Acts.

The second most common miracle that God performs is the miracle of provision.

In the Old Testament, God supernaturally fed 2-3 million Israelites in the desert for 40 years! He has also supernaturally increased food supplies for widows during hard times. He even commanded birds to bring food to one of His prophets! In the New Testament, provision miracles continued. Jesus turned water into wine so that a wedding reception could be successful. He miraculously fed multitudes with a boy’s lunch of small loaves of bread and

a few fish. Jesus also caused an over abundance of fish to be harvested in payment for using Peter’s boat (even when the fish weren’t biting!). He even caused a fish to have money in its mouth to pay taxes!

These are just a few examples of the kind of miracles that are recorded in the Word of God and are continued as evidence of His supernatural power and glory today!

the wife see that she REVERENCE HER HUSBAND.” A husband meets the need of his wife by loving her. But notice that a man has different needs from his wife. A man’s primary need is not love; it is reverence and honor. When a woman decides to honor and reverence her husband she is providing encouragement her husband needs to keep going.

A man achieves or fails by the honor or lack of honor he receives from his wife. Just as a woman needs to hear from her husband how beautiful she is and how much she is loved; a man needs to be told

how great he is doing. He needs to be reminded of his successes and lifted in his failures. The best thing a woman can do for her husband and her home is to let the husband lead and then look for anything worthy of praise to comment upon.

These principles may not be popular but they are possible.

I challenge any struggling marriage to start putting these principles into practice and I will guarantee your life will get better.

The Weekly Word The Honorable Wife

Rev. Tim Stahlman Family Church of the Southern Tier

A wife’s role is not one of low existence and meaningless living. A wife was created as the fulfilling piece to her husband’s life. She is essential, sacred, and worthy of honor.

That’s why the Bible says in Proverbs 18:22 says, “Whosoever finds a wife finds a good 

thing and obtains favor from the Lord.” Husbands need to meditate on that verse until their mind is renewed to view their wife as a complete blessing from God. Genesis 2:18 says, “It is not good for man to be alone.

I will make him a helper suitable and comparable to him”. Adam had fellowship with God in the garden. He walked with God in the cool of the day and yet God still knew that Adam needed a wife. Think of the importance and honor that bestows upon woman. Adam had God and

everything in the garden. Yet there was a void that existed in him until Eve was made.

See, Adam had been given a large assignment from God. He was to till the ground and guard the garden at all times.

(Genesis 2:15) Adam was also given command over all the animals and to name them all. Adam was essentially the first human CEO over a large economy. God made the woman to help the man be successful in his assignment.

Behind every man that ever did anything great is a woman. In the background

of every successful man is woman cheering him on and encouraging him to run his race. Olympic marathon runners are typically greeted and served by unsung heroes who cheer and provide water on the sidelines. Though it is the runner himself who is crowned they could have never been there without that support. The same is true with a husband whose wife is a noble encourager.

Ephesians 5:33 says, “Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so LOVE HIS WIFE even as himself and

New Law Boosts Economy

Local business looking to benefit from legalization of rifle hunting

By Scott Wise Star News Editor

An exciting new law has been passed in Chautauqua County. Local legislators have pushed hard to bring rifle hunting to our little part of the state, and the Chautauqua Star has taken the time to find out what the positive effects it will bring to our region.

Chautauqua County Executive Greg Edwards was one of three local government officials who pushed for the new big-game rifle hunting bill to be signed into law by Governor Cuomo, which took place on Aug. 7.

With the help of Assemblymen Andy Goodell, Joseph Giglio and Senator Cathy Young and other influential members of the community it is now officially legal for rifles to be used in certain parts of Chautauqua County.

“It’s not just a gun issue, it’s an economic development issue,” said Edwards. “I’ve been a strong proponent since the legislation was brought about, but Assemblyman Goodell was key is helping pass the law. I’ve hunted big game since I was 18, and I used to go out of the county or state to do so.”

According to Edwards, sportsmen T.J. Strychalski, from Bradford County, PA, used his new Mossberg Super Bantam 20ga. turkey gun. This was T.J.'s first turkey hunt. from across the nation see Chautauqua County as a prime area to limited to five rounds.

With 8 Seniors Back, Fredonia Soccer Ready To Climb SUNYAC Ranks Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

A new season is on the horizon for the Fredonia men’s soccer team. One that includes waving goodbye to one of the most decorated senior classes in school history, while also looking ahead to avenging last season’s heartbreaking finish.

The 1-0 loss to Brockport in the conference semifinals ended Fredonia’s promising season, while also ending the careers of seven players. Four all-conference selections, including Ryan O’Donnell, the school’s fifth all-time scoring leader, are gone.

But despite the exodus, head coach P.J. Gondek still has high expectations for his squad, one that surprisingly might be just as experienced and talented as last year’s.

“We’ve had some great recruiting classes the past few years that for whatever reason haven’t been able to get on the field,” Gondek said. “We had so many talented seniors lately that the underclassmen haven’t been able to get on the field and spread their wings.

“But I don’t think we’ve been ravaged by graduation nearly as bad as it looks on paper,” Gondek said.

The 11th-year head coach certainly has a point there. With eight seniors returning and another five juniors in the mix, Gondek has plenty of options to replace his gifted senior class. And although his top three scorers have moved on, an experienced back line with three starters back on defense, along with goalkeeper Bobby McGinnis, makes Fredonia a legitimate contender in SUNYAC this season.

“We’re going to have a different mindset this year,” Gondek said. “We’ll be

a little bit more defensive orientated and look to keep the score down.”

But with the experience of that back line, Gondek also conceded his veteran fullbacks Luke Spencer and Matt Schroen to jump into the offensive mix a little more this year.

“Last year our outside backs didn’t feel as comfortable getting up the field, but now they’re seniors and I think that’s going to be a strength of our team,” Gondek said.

While Gondek figures out how to replace all the scoring, he has arguably the strongest defense returning in the conference to lean on, anchored by senior center back David Thoin.

Thoin was a third-team all-conference selection last year while starting 18 games. He’ll lead an experienced group, something Gondek plans to take full advantage of.

“It’s paramount,” Gondek said bluntly. “It’s tough early on in the season to get everyone together but I think we’re going to be fine because of the

experience in the back line.”

Gondek will have to replace one starter on the backline, central defender Stephen Ahern who was a second-team all-conference selection last year. But, he has plenty of options, including junior college transfer Jeremy Voigt that can be plugged into the role.

The rest of the team has some question marks, but as Gondek again alluded to, the team is not short on options.

He also doesn’t have a set formation yet, saying he felt he could go with a number of different looks. However, he does want to use his depth at central midfield.

“I think one of the strengths of the team this year is the playmakers we have at central midfield,” Gondek said. “We have three guys that can play and will benefit greatly from other guys moving on.”

Those three players are juniors Tyler Williams and Ryan Smith and

sophomore Chase Lipshie. Here the depth could allow Gondek to go with a 4-5-1 or a 4-3-3 to employ all three of his midfielders.

Of the three, Smith may be the most intriguing. He was SUNYAC Freshman of the Year in 2009 and started 12 games last season.

As mentioned before the team will have to replace some goal scorers up front and on the wings. Departing seniors O’Donnell, John Grabowski and Eli Lubberts scored 16 of the team’s 28 goals last season.

Luke Tylutki and Corey Paine offer some experience, with both players logging plenty of minutes last year. As a freshman last season, Tylutki made an immediate impact, scoring two goals and serving up three assists. He scored a game-winner against New Paltz midway through the season in 1-0 win that may have turned the Blue Devils season around.

Fredonia will begin the season Sept.

1 in Rochester when they take on St. John Fisher in the Flower City Soccer Classic. They play regional power University of Rochester two days later.

After a road game against Geneva College in Beaver Falls, Pa., they return home for three games including the Clarion Soccer Classic, where they’ll host SUNYIT and Houghton.

“In our first seven games, we think we can be on the winning side more than not,” Gondek said. “U of R is a great team and will be a tough game on the road, but we’re excited to see how we match up with them.

“But we expect to win when we play at home. I don’t care who we’re playing, we should be ready to go at home and I think we can get off to a pretty good start.”

Dennis Asel Wins the Morgan Family Spectator Special Chad Valone Super Late Winner at Stateline Speedway

By Glenn Slocum Contributing Writer

The Morgan family sponsored the Spectator Special on Fan Appreciation night at Stateline Speedway. The Special contained 29 cars and Dennis Asel came from 20th to lead the final two laps of the 20 lap event for his fifth win of the season.

Ryan Scott led from the initial green to win his third Outlaw Cadet feature and young Steve Kania came from seventh for second.

Ed Carley won his second Crate Late event with Kyle Scott second and from dead last Justin Tatlow.

Chad Valone passed Randy Lobb on lap three of the Super Late Model feature and never looked back. Valone survived several cautions for his first win of the season.

Johnson and Boyd swapped the lead early in the E-Mod feature with Johnson finally on coming out on top. Dave Scott finished fifth in the race running several laps with a left front flat.

Joe Buccola Jr. led the final three circuits of the Super Sportsman feature notching his third victory of the season.

The Morgan Family Spectator Special had Cody Bliss and John Britt on the front row and Sam Conti and Jerry Fish in row two. Elaine Best was scheduled to start third but made hard contact with back straight concrete during heat qualifying. Britt was the first by the flag stand with Conti second. A lap three incident collected Brandon Pierce and Bert Chapel for the first yellow. Britt and Carl Marcy were the restart leaders. Marcy beat Britt out of turn two and led lap four. Marcy set sail leaving Britt defending second against Kyle Weilacher.

Doug Harvey, Nick Mohawk, Matt Sampson and Todd Macon combined for yellow number two with seven laps in the books. 56.7.07 Brandon Pierce, Mike Moon and Jeremy Williams tangled on the restart for yellow three then one lap after the next restart Mohawk and Fish caused caution four. At the half way mark Marcy led Britt and Weilacher by twenty car lengths. Bliss stopped in the pit entrance for yellow five with eight laps remaining in the event. With six laps remaining Marcy’s cars had mechanical problems for caution six setting up Weilacher up with the lead. Dennis Asel made his presence known grabbing third as Britt tangled with Gary fisher. Chapel was trying to pull into the pits and was struck by Eric Paulus for caution seven with only two laps remaining. Weilacher, Asel, Britt, Brian Crandall and Gary Fisher were the leaders for the single file restart. Asel moved up alongside Weilacher on the restart and led the white flag lap by a nose. On the final lap Asel was ahead of Weilacher by a car length at the checkers for his fifth win.

Ryan Scott started off the pole in the Outlaw Cadet feature and led the first circuit with pole sitter Stan Davis Jr. second. Glen Slaney passed Davis for the runner up spot on lap four to begin chasing Scott for the lead while Davis fell into a battle with Steve Moynihan for third. John Cline brought out the first yellow with a spin as he was being lapped. Scott, Slaney, Moynihan, Davis and Steve Kania were the leaders. Kania moved by Davis, Moynihan then Slaney but only had three laps left to run down Scott. Kania ran out of laps so Scott led from green to checkers for his third win of

the season.

Justin Tatlow had problems on the first lap of the Crate Late event causing a complete restart. The second attempted start was waived off by starter Mark Matthews. The third start saw Garrett Mott and Les Lyon tangle. The fourth attempt worked with Brad Mesler coming out on top with Ed Carley second and John Lacki third. Mott had more troubles with six laps down. Mesler, Carley, Lacki, Tackett and Haggerty were the top five. The leader fired too soon and was set back to third for the next restart with Lacki now on the pole. Lacki became the new leader with Carley second. Carley trailed by a nose on the next lap then was a car length ahead on lap ten sending Lacki back to second with Tackett third, Kyle Scott fourth and Haggerty fifth. Mesler spun then pulled into the infield then edged out on to the speedway forcing a caution with 14 laps complete then was disqualified. After the restart Bob Dorman running sixth slowed then spun on the back stretch. Tackett was the next to suffer mechanical problems with sixteen lap down. Carley was still the leader with Kyle Scott in second, Lacki third followed by Haggerty and Tatlow. Debris caused a caution tightening the field with three laps remaining. It was three wide for third on lap eighteen between Lacki, Haggerty and Tatlow. At the checkers it was Carley, Scott and Tatlow from dead last.

Randy Lobb started the Super Late Model feature on the pole and led the first lap with Doug Ricotta second and Chad Valone third. Valone wasted no time grabbing second from Ricotta then wresting the lead from Lobb one lap later.

Chuck Parker spun on laps four bring out the yellow with Valone, Lobb, Matt Urban Andy Boozel and Ricotta the leaders. Lobb had trouble on the restart ending with a spin in turn one for the caution.

Urban was not second behind Valone with Boozel third and Doug Eck fourth. Ron Maloy was fifth and Dick Barton sixth. At half way Valone led Urban by ten car lengths win Eck was pressing Boozel for third with Barton fifth and David Scott fifth. Parker spun in front of the leader with seventeen of the 25 laps complete. Valone, Urban, Boozel, Eck, Barton, Rich Gardner, Scott, Maloy, Ricotta and Darrel Bossard led. Eck started to charge passing Boozel on lap eighteen and began pushing Urban with Valone protecting the bottom. Eck faded over the final few laps and Valone stretched his lead winning by five car lengths over Urban with Eck three lengths back of Urban in third.

Dave Atkinson spun collecting Scott Gurdak, Al Brewer and Bill Southwell on the first lap of the E-Mod feature.

Greg Johnson was the leader with Dave Scott second and John Boyd third. Boyd took control on lap two with Johnson now second and Scott third. Ben Asel and Dan Sasso caused the second caution with four laps down. Boyd, Johnson, Scott, Alex Froman and Dan Davies were the top five. Johnson led lap five with Boyd back to second and Froman to third on lap six.

Scott swapped with Froman on the next lap. Richie Langer caused caution three as the field approached the half way point in the race. Dan Davies joined the fray passing Scott for fourth with six laps remaining. One lap later Sasso spun in turn four for caution four. With two laps to go Jaik Halpainy stopped

in turn one for caution five.

Scott was running with a left front flat in the fifth spot.

Johnson, Boyd, Froman and Davies were the top four. The two lap dash for the win was won by Johnson, Boyd was second, Froman third, Davies fourth and Scott fifth with his left front flat.

Allen Haskins led the first circuit of the Super Sportsman feature with Wade Watson second and Mike Kosinski third. Kosinski jumped the front leading on lap five and Haskins faded. Watson was second and Joe Buccola Jr. was third. Clint Brady caused the first yellow with a turn two spin on lap seven.

One lap later Brady brought out the second yellow after stopping high in turn four.

Buccola was second with six laps remaining. Third running Watson slowed to a stop in turn four for caution three.

Four laps remained and Jake Eller was third as Watson was towed to the infield. Buccola took the top spot on the restart and led the final three circuits for his third checkers of the season.

At the start of the series, the headquarters will then move to Diethrick Park for the duration of the games.

Each visiting team in the series will be given a float to ride on showcasing their region and team members.

Volunteers are needed to help decorate each team float the morning of the parade.

Anyone interested in helping is asked to contact DJDC at 664-2477.

“The parade is shaping up nicely,” said Tiffani Conti, DJDC Special Projects Manager. “We are looking for additional community groups and area marching bands to participate so we can provide a wonderful parade for all of the baseball players, coaching staff, families, and out of town guests coming in for the 2011 World Series.”

Introducing The New Sports Editor

Meet the Chautauqua Star’s new Sports Editor Chris Winkler.

Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

With my first week here at the Chautauqua Star, I wanted to give the readers a quick look at what I hope to bring to the newspaper, and of course most importantly, the sports section.

I’m a recent graduate of The College at Brockport, where I majored in journalism and minored in political science. I served as the sports editor and managing editor at the campus newspaper, The Stylus, over the course of two years.

While on staff, the newspaper won multiple awards from the Associated College Press, including best of show in the category of weekly tabloid at a national conference in San Diego, Calif.

Although writing is one of my passions in life, the entire sports world surpasses that level and then some.

As a lifelong Buffalo Bills fan, I can only hope at some point in my tenure at the Star, I am able to share my thoughts of a playoff-caliber team. Of course, I don’t know if I plan on being here for the fifty or so years that might take.

Regardless, there is nothing I appreciate more than watching an athlete excel in their field of play.

In my six years of covering athletics, I’ve had the pleasure of covering just about every single sport imaginable and often times find that the most interesting stories come from the sports that don’t get a lot of coverage.

Admittedly, basketball is a personal favorite, but I also must say covering events such

as swimming or tennis have opened my eyes to more than what is covered on ESPN. It’s sports like those that get lost in the shuffle because they aren’t multi-million dollar industries like the NFL or NBA, so they don’t receive national exposure.

With my experience, I’m hoping to bring that wide range of coverage to the newspaper.

While realizing some sports are simply more popular than others, I feel it is important to cover more than just football.

I hope every reader will be able to feel my passion for the sporting world and plan on working with anybody that feels the same way.

I look forward to meeting with all of the high school coaches in the area so together we can showcase the great athletes of this county. I also look forward to attending just about any event in the area and urge people to inform me of anything going on in the county that I might not know about.

With that, along with being relatively new to the area, I encourage everyone to e-mail me at chris.winkler@maytumcompany.com with suggestions and updates on everything sports related in the area.

If there is a little league tournament going on, send me something about the event.

Maybe there is a junior varsity player having a good season that I don’t know about. It doesn’t have to be front-page news because that’s not really what I’m looking for.

Again, with your help, hopefully I can build on what is already a stellar sports section, and look forward to sharing my opinions on everything going on in the county.

tain Coaster is an important piece of the whole resort that attracts visitors to Holiday Valley and the region on a year ‘round basis.”

The Mountain Coaster is similar to a roller coaster with cars that ride upon a track.

One or two riders load a car and travel 1,865 feet up the hill parallel to the Spruce Lake lift. At the apex the car begins its thrilling 2,490 foot descent zigzagging and spiraling down through the woods. There are 15 curves, 12 waves, 2 jumps and a giant spiral along

the length of the ride. The average grade is 15.2% with a maximum of 23.6%. Riders can accelerate or decelerate using handles on the sides of the car.

The coaster was designed, engineered and manufactured by Weigand of Germany and was shipped in 7 containers, each containing thousands of individual parts much like a giant Erector Set. Construction of the coaster was an intense 10 week process, as all of the parts and measurements were metric and the plans were

picked to finish 7th and tied for 4th again.

“While it seems we may be earning some respect by being picked 5th, we hope to continue to prove the conference coaches wrong and continue to finish higher. I imagine that is how anyone who has a competitive bone in their body would feel, and I would be disappointed if our team and everyone associated with our program didn’t feel the same way.”

One person who has that competitive bone is Lapp, who has been a mainstay in the middle of the pitch for the Bonnies since stepping foot on campus, starting 61 of 62 career games. Named to the A-10 All-Rookie Team after being the lone field player to start all 20 games in 2008, Lapp started all 21 games last year, scoring three goals and adding three assists. Those nine points ranked 4th on the team, and second most amongst returning players.

Perhaps Lapp’s most memorable moment in the Brown and White came last October as she converted a penalty kick to help the Bonnies stun

No. 25 Dayton, 2-1, ending the Flyers’ 12-game winning streak and handing them their first A-10 regular-season loss since 2008.

St. Bonaventure has qualified for the A-10 Championship a program-record three straight years, and will take the first step in looking to make that four consecutive seasons this Friday as it opens its 2011 regular season. However, Khettry knows that, as always, it will be a difficult trek.

“My players are keenly aware that there is very little difference within the conference from 3rd place to 12th place, and we know that every game, as in past years, will be a battle,” Khettry commented. “We know we will have to earn the right, as we have the previous three years, to attend and play in the A-10 Championship. We aren’t going to take that for granted by being picked 5th.”

The Bonnies will head out on the road to face Bucknell at 4 p.m. Friday before concluding their seasonopening swing with 1 p.m.

Maybin Release Marks Beginning Of New Era

Chris Winkler COMMENTARY

Finally. That’s about all that came to mind when word spread that the Buffalo Bills had finally released Aaron Maybin.

To be fair, Maybin, a former first round pick in 2009, deserved a few years to prove what he could do the field.

After all, the Bills thought highly enough of him to draft at No. 11 overall just two years ago, let alone give him $15 million guaranteed.

But, after struggling to even reach the field — on the arguably the league’s worst defense the past two years — the undersized outside linebacker was released Monday as the Bills prepare to trim their roster down to 53 players.

Perhaps it was a long time coming considering Maybin registered just 24 tackles in two seasons, never started a game and wasn’t even able to get so much of a hand on opposing teams’ quarterbacks.

Looking more like a strong safety than a pass-rushing linebacker, Maybin showed up to camp this year weighing a preposterously puny 228 pounds.

If two drastically disappointing seasons weren’t enough for cut him, then Saturday’s first preseason game against the Chicago Bears put the proverbial nail in the coffin.

Again not seeing the field until the second half, Maybin struggled to do anything more than fill out a defensive formation. On one play, he was flattened on his back with relative ease by Bears running back Marion Barber in the backfield while trying to get to the quarterback. Even Barber appeared stunned by how Joining those four teams in the National Division will be easy of a block it was. Two Pacific Northwest (Centralia, plays later, Maybin again came Wash.).

latest chapter of the Buffalo Bills franchise — a very ugly one at that.

Consider this, albeit hard to believe the Bills have now said goodbye to three former first round picks since NFL lockout was lifted just a month ago. In addition to Maybin, General Manager Buddy Nix opted not to resign safety Donte Whitner (2006) and then traded wide receiver Lee Evans (2004) to the Baltimore Ravens.

If anything else, the new Bills regime is putting its own stamp on the team. Whether or not it works is another question for another time. But for now, Nix and head coach Chan Gailey appear to have a plan in place to put something together that resembles a football team, something that has been rarely seen in Orchard Park over the last decade.

That plan includes a revamped defense led by Shawne Merriman, whom Nix picked up off waivers from San Diego late last year. The former pro bowl outside linebacker was a dynamic force for the Chargers, but has muddled through three straight injury plagued seasons coming into 2011.

Ridiculed by the national media for giving Merriman a second chance, the Bills have to be more than optimistic after watching his brief debut as a member of the team this past weekend against the Bears.

Merriman was on the field for just nine plays — fairly standard for a starter in a

teams first preseason game of the year — and registered 2.5 sacks. He also forced a holding penalty that wound up being declined because this year’s first round pick Marcell Dareus broke through for a sack.

In fact, the Bills registered eight sacks in the game with Danny Batten, Alex Carrington and Kellen Heard all getting to the quarterback.

With the help of the pressure on the quarterback, rookie Aaron Williams made a tremendously athletic play to intercept a pass.

Correlation? All six players were brought in by Nix. Other recent newcomers on defense such as Arthur Moats, Nick Barnett and Kelvin Sheppard also figure to have a large impact this season.

Make no mistake about it, Nix has recognized his team’s dire need for a more athletic defense and has quickly gone about changing his personnel.

The offense will probably lose a step without Evans out wide to stretch the defense, but Nix has brought in plenty of young playmakers in the past two years that already seem to be able to make a difference.

Granted it’s only preseason. In due time we’ll know whether or not all these pieces that were brought in can make a difference and get this franchise to the playoffs for the first time since 1999.

For now though, they have some direction, and more importantly some hope. Finally.

BIRDIES AND BOGEYS

Just an afterthought Pairings on the PGA Tour are like the car you drive — it says something about you. Tiger was paired last Sunday with someone named Hennie Otto, who won the Dimension Data Pro-Am on the Sunshine Tour to earn a spot in the tournament. Any lower and he could walk under a duck.

At least Tiger didn’t tee off at 7:50 a.m. with another household name, Yuta Ikeda.

Reach out and touch someone According to former NBA great Charles Barkley, Tiger Woods doesn’t call him anymore, and it’s been two years.

“You think you’re friends with a guy,” Barkley said. “You talk to him once a week for 15 years. You’re like, this dude is my friend, we do things, we have fun together.”

Barkley had a long-running series of TV ads with Dwyane Wade where he drove Wade crazy with his “needy behavior,” constantly calling Wade to chat on the phone when Wade was busy. Maybe Tiger is just too busy to talk to Barkley, too.

Golf ’s three R’s So your boss fires you in front of everyone and you go to work for a rival boss, then he wins big over your old boss and credits you for making the difference. This also takes place in front of everyone. Sweet.

This is the stuff great literature is made of — Macbeth, Faust and now Caddygate.

Faithful do-bidder Steve Williams is dismissed over the phone by bad boss Tiger Woods (days later they met face to face), then Williams steers rival Adam Scott to victory in what was supposed to be the comeback stage for the scene-stealing Woods. How boring would life be if it was always as advertised.

Of life’s three major highs — redemption, revenge and retribution — this script had it all, even though it was played out on the proper stage of golf protocol where, like in kabuki theater, gestures tell the story. Note the fist pump Williams ripped off when he responded to the crowd calling his name after the winning putt was holed. Since when do fans chant the name of the caddy?

“This is the most satisfying win ever,” Williams said, and we all know why.

By T.J. TOMASI IT’S GOOD FOR YOUR GAME

Let your head

rotate

Errors occur when your head slides past the ball toward the target during the golf swing, or when it moves too far off the ball away from the target. Either way it’s not good for consistency. Your head should rotate and float with the spine tilt, all the while staying in the middle of your shoulders.

Forget the advice to keep your head down. Your swing is made worse by trying to keep your head stock still, and it can cause injury.

You would think that with all the bad things this shibboleth (“Don’t move your head”) has caused, it would have lost its reputation by now, but I see a lot of beginners adhering to it, and some teachers actually teach it. Tests show that the head floats in a good swing because under the stress of proper coil, it has to biomechanically. If it is not

allowed to ABOUT THE WRITER rotate, you Dr. T.J. Tomasi is a will almost teaching proalways be fessional in Port St. Lucie, forced into Fla. Visit his a correction, Web site at making it tjtomasi.com. difficult to keep the club on plane.

So let your head float with your body turn. How much depends on your body build. If you’re thin and very flexible, as many tour players are, the float will be slight. Medium builds demand a bit more float, and if you’re thick-chested and flexibilitychallenged, your head float will be noticeable. It is the swing center, a point just below the chin, that must stay over the ball at impact, but everyone uses the head as a marker, perhaps because the head has ears and the swing center does not.

This teaching pro is helping a player release his head. As the player’s shoulders, hands and forearms release, so does his head. In the correct action, the head rotates through impact and stays over the ball.

Note how the player keeps his head in the middle of his shoulders as they rotate. This leads to looking over the ball as it leaves rather than under it.

The eyes are looking at the high X, not the low X.

It’s a flier

How you describe a ball you just hit too far because of the way it was lying in the rough. Fliers are caused when grass or other materials like water and dirt come between the clubface and the ball. Part of being a good player is anticipating this effect and allowing for it.

TEEING OFF

Excalibur effect Many people saw Tiger Woods’ longtime caddy, Steve Williams, as a major contributor to Tiger’s success, and that is exactly why Tiger fired him. Tiger is smart enough to realize that power and self-confidence must come from within.

External power can be cut off, which means you are under someone else’s control. This is dangerous in a sport like golf, where even small flutters on your internal power grid can mean the difference between dominating and being just a good player.

I call this the Excalibur Effect, named for the magical powers of King Arthur’s famous sword. If your ability comes from a magical putter and you lose that putter, then you lose your ability. In my opinion, too many tour players use external props to shore up their weaknesses.

This is not to say that Tiger doesn’t learn from experts; he uses them as a resource, not a crutch. Their knowledge is nourishment that, once digested, becomes part of the inner power grid. It’s true that Tiger wears red on the last day of every tournament, but this is more to influence his opponents than to shore up his self-confidence.

The power in Tiger’s world comes from only one source — himself. And while no one is perfect, in the early 2000s, Tiger Woods was about as close as anyone can come. His strength was that there were no Excaliburs in his arsenal. Everything was expendable, and if he lost one thing, he would not be rendered vulnerable.

His father trained him for toughness using techniques from military interrogation, which is just the ticket for a game like golf. His mother guided him in a philosophy that counseled not becoming attached to the things you acquire or to the process of acquiring.

Tiger’s sacking of Williams was SOP when it comes to protecting his self-generated power grid. And there was another more simple reason: Tiger was mad that Williams caddied for Adam Scott.

The takeaway: Buy that new driver and hold on to “Lucky Loretta,” your favorite putter. But remember that standing over your ball on the 18th tee come Sunday, sans your instructor, your caddy and your mental coach, it’s you and you alone who has to pull the trigger, so you better have a fully stocked larder of internal power to carry you through.

THE GOLF DOCTOR

Nanobots are tiny programmed robots close to the microscopic scale of a nanometer, and they’re on the cutting edge of medical research. A human hair is 100,000 nanometers in diameter, so bots are small. The journal Nature Materials estimated five years ago that 130 nanotech-based drugs and delivery systems were being developed worldwide, so there are already applications available. But this is just a scratch of the surface.

Some futurologists believe that by 2030 nanobots injected into the blood stream will end up in the brain, where they’ll create virtual-reality environments. The nanobots will block normal electrical signals coming from your real senses and replace them with signals coming from the nanobots’ software. You will be able to “been there, done that” without having been there or done that at all.

By 2030 perhaps you’ll buy a nanobot of Ricky Fowler’s swing (he’ll be 42 then), swallow it and in a few hours your

muscles would be responding in a perfect virtual golf swing. You could then swallow another bot, play Pebble Beach or Winged Foot and never leave the house.

In his book “The Singularity Is Near,” Ray Kurzweil predicts that in another 10 years (2040) there will be brain scans that upload our mental and physical history into a computer. As Kurzweil describes it, “This process would capture a person’s entire personality, memory, skills and history.” You could be Winston Churchill, Alexander the Great or Hanna Montana — maybe all three at once.

Of course, no golf teachers, equipment or actual golf courses would be necessary to enjoy the game. Well, maybe a couple of the old courses would be carried over just so you could appreciate how the ancients did it way back in 2011.

It sounds weird and perhaps it is, but 30 years ago in 1980 there were no cellphones, no laptop computers and no email. It must have been very peaceful back then.

ASK THE PRO Q: My short game isn’t very good, and I was wondering if you could give me a practice schedule so I can improve. I own my own company, so I can carve out the time to practice. — Frank, via email A: You should plan to hit at least 50 putts, 50 chips, 50 sand shots and 50 pitches per practice session; more is better. Four sessions per week should do it.

In each session, play the four-ball game: Take four balls, throw them over your shoulder and play them where they land, one at a time, i.e., chip one then putt it out. Keep a running score; par for each set of four balls is eight. If your short game is any good, you’ll be around par a lot.

Jammers Back From All-Star Game, Start Playoff Race In Brooklyn

NL Win NYP All-Star Game Behind Gonzalez

Star Sports Editor

It was the all-star break for the Jamestown Jammers this week as the New York-Penn League took a two-day hiatus from their regular season at roughly the ¾ point of the season.

The All-Star Game, held in Lowell, Mass. Tuesday night was won by the National League 7-3 and featured four members of the Jammers.

Only the Batavia Muckdogs, with six, had more members represented in the game.

Selected to represent Jamestown were infielder Terrence Dayleg, outfielder Brent Keys, starting pitcher Josh Hodges and mid-reliever Chase Weir.

Dayleg has been arguably been the Jammers Most Valuable Player. He headed into the all-star break batting .290, with a team-high 10 doubles, four homers and 26 RBI. His impressive 2011 campaign was well rewarded by not only being named to the all-star game, but by being named the starting first baseman and slotted in the No. 3 spot in the batting order. Dayleg went 0-for-2 with a walk and was replaced in bottom of the sixth inning.

club batting .360, was recently activated from the Disabled List and did not enter the game. The center fielder will return to the field after the break, a welcome addition for the club as they begin to make a march for the final playoff spot.

Staff ace Hodges, a former seventh round pick by the Florida Marlins in 2009, went into the break leading the team with six wins while posting an ERA of 3.90. The 21-year-old is having his finest season yet as a pro as will play a big role for the Jammers if they have any chance of making the playoffs.

Hodges threw a scoreless second inning that included a strikeout. After allowing a base hit, he got the next batter to line into a double play to wrap up

his all-star game appearance.

Finally, Wier got into the game in the seventh and tossed a 1-2-3 inning. The rookie right-hander has been stellar out of the bullpen, leading the team with 2.31 ERA, while holding opponents to a .239 batting average.

The Jammers, sitting in fourth place in the Pinckney Division at 29-28 heading into the break, have some work to do in their final 19 games if they plan on returning to the playoffs for the second year in a row. They sit 4.5 games behind Auburn for the division lead, but sit in a logjam for the fourth and final playoff spot, three games behind Brooklyn, Mahoning Valley and Williamsport.

Of course, the team won’t be returning home from the break for quite a long time

due to the Babe Ruth World Series that will be taking place at Diethrick Park over the next week and a half.

Any hopes of a playoff spot rest on the upcoming brutal 12-game road trip that started late last night against Brooklyn. Of the 12 games, nine are against the three aforementioned teams the Jammers are chasing in the Wild Card race.

After the team finally returns from that trip, they’ll have four games against divisionleading Auburn.

Certainly the Jammers would prefer a few more home games down the stretch, but they couldn’t have asked for a better opportunity to draw closer in the standings than what their upcoming schedule has given them.

Strasburg Makes 2nd Start For Potomac Contributed Article Associated Press

WOODBRIDGE, Va. -- When a pitcher throws as well as Washington Nationals righthander Stephen Strasburg did Friday night, it takes some pressure off his catcher.

"When you throw 98 or 99 (miles per hour), it's easy to catch," said Sandy Leon, catcher for the Class A Potomac Nationals. "He puts the ball where he wants it."

Strasburg showed off his arm and his glove in a rehab start with Potomac. He struck out five and walked none in three scoreless innings, giving up only two infield hits to the visiting Myrtle Beach Pelicans.

His 33rd and final pitch of the game was scalded up the middle by outfielder J.R. Higley. However, Strasburg deftly snared the come-backer and tossed to first baseman Steven Souza for the final out.

He left to a standing ovation from the sellout crowd of 8,619 at G. Richard Pfitzner Stadium — many of them wearing red and white Strasburg jerseys.

It was Strasburg's second rehab start since Tommy John surgery sidelined the Nats' phenom last summer. In his first start on Aug. 7, Strasburg struck out four and allowed a home run in 1 2-3 innings for Class A Hagerstown against Greensboro.

On Friday, Strasburg mixed in his curveball and changeup more often than in his previous start and was mostly effective with them. He threw 26 of his 33 pitcher for strikes and had nine first-pitch strikes against 12 batters.

He also was clocked as high as 99 mph on his fastball.

"I tried to treat it more like a normal game," said Strasburg. "I threw pitches I wanted to throw depending on the count."

"His changeups and breaking balls were nasty," Leon said.

Strasburg was scheduled to go just three innings or 50 pitches on Friday. He threw 17 more pitches out of the bullpen after his start and is scheduled to start again in five days at a yetto-be-determined site.

Potomac manager Matt LeCroy, a former major league catcher, saw no reason on Friday to think Strasburg would not be major league ready very soon. With no setbacks so far, Strasburg called his first major league start since injuring his right elbow last summer "only a matter of time."

"Today is another step in the process," he said.

Strasburg got through the first inning on 11 pitches, giving up an infield hit to shortstop.

Two runners reached in the second on a one-out infield hit by Ryan Strausborger and a two-out fielding error by second baseman Jeff Kobernus. However, Strasburg got out of the jam by inducing the Pelicans' Andres James to

pop out to third baseman Jose Lozada to end the inning.

"Obviously, he's a big part of what we're trying to do here.

So sure, everyone's following what he's doing," Washington's Livan Hernandez said after pitching the Nationals past Philadelphia 4-2.

"It's a tough thing to come back from. A lot of people say well, he's young and he has time. But what happened to him is not good, and it doesn't matter how old you are. It's just a tough thing. But so far, so good. He's pitching really well, he's doing what he needs to do, and like I said, I think that's good for all of us here in the organization.

Tonight was big for him."

Said Hernandez: "We're a family here, we're building something, and yes, we want to see everyone do well.

We're all really behind him, from Davey (manager Johnson) on down, and we can't wait to see him come back here for good."

Behind a four-run second inning highlighted by a two-run double by Samuel Gonzalez (State College), the National League affiliates won the 2011 New York-Penn League allstar game 7-3.

The NL squad jumped all over Brennan Smith (Connecticut) in the top of the second that started with a leadoff double from Wes Freeman (State College). After Matthew Duffy (Tri-City) and Matthew Skole (Auburn) followed with singles, Gonzalez ripped open the game with a double that scored two runs giving the NL a 3-0 lead. Gonzalez would come around and score later in the inning on his way to earning the game’s MVP honors.

Jamestown pitcher Josh Hodges came into the game in the bottom half of the inning and shut the door by getting Matt Rice (Hudson Valley) to ground into an inning-ending double play.

However, the AL All-Stars wouldn’t go quietly into the night.

In the bottom of the third, Chih Fang Pan (Vermont) tripled on a fly ball to center that scored Bryson Myles (Mahoning Valley) to get the AL on the board. Fang Pan came around to score on a sacrifice fly and just like that, the NL’s lead had been cut in half.

The AL kept themselves in

the game after getting stellar pitching performances from Trent Howard (Aberdeen) and Jeff Urlaub (Vermont), who each pitched scoreless 1-2-3 innings in the third and fourth innings, respectively.

They chipped away again in the sixth inning, drawing within a run when Dean Green (Connecticut) singled in Jeff Malm (Hudson Valley) with one out. After Green advanced to second on the throw to the plate, the AL had the tying-run in scoring position.

But Green wound up being the last AL player to reach base in the game, as the AL couldn’t get any closer.

NL Pitcher Todd McInnis (Batavia) settled down and got out of the jam by striking out Casey Stevenson (Staten Island) before getting Nick Rickles (Vermont) to ground out and end the inning.

After a quick seventh and eighth innings, the NL tacked on three runs in the ninth inning highlighted by Daniel Muno’s (Brooklyn) two-run double to push the game to 6-3. Hendry Jimenez (Auburn) followed with an RBI single to put the finishing touches on the game.

All NYP teams return to action Wednesday night to start the stretch run of the season.

Just 19 games remain in the season and as usual with the shortened-season league, the playoff races are tight across the league.

For Now, SEC Will Stick With 12 Schools Contributed article Associated Press

Contributed article AP News Finder

DETROIT (AP) -- When Jim Thome arrived at the ballpark, his pursuit of 600 home runs had been all but forgotten.

Minnesota had just traded Delmon Young to the Detroit Tigers -- the very team Thome's Twins were about to face. And besides, Thome was in the middle of a slow, injury-plagued chase for the milestone.

Then, in two innings, the 40-year-old slugger reminded everyone why he's become one of baseball's greatest power hitters.

Thome hit his 600th home run an inning after he hit No. 599 to help the Twins outslug the Tigers 9-6 on Monday night.

Thome became the eighth major league player to reach 600, hitting a three-run shot off Daniel Schlereth in the seventh inning.

"Hitting home runs can be very difficult," Thome said.

"You sit in bed at night and you think about how's it going Jim Thome is met with congratulations at home plate by his to be, how are you going to do teammates. (Photo by Duane Burleson) this?

Novak Djokovic Wins Rogers Cup Contributed Article Associated Press

MONTREAL -- Top-ranked Novak Djokovic won the Rogers Cup on Sunday for his ninth tournament victory of the year and record fifth in a season in an ATP Masters 1,000 event, beating Mardy Fish 6-2, 3-6, 6-4.

The 24-year-old Serb, the Australian Open and Wimbledon champion, is 29-0 this year on hard courts and 53-1 overall. He also won the Rogers Cup in 2007.

"I am human -- I can definitely assure you of that," Djokovic said. "I guess it's just all about having a positive attitude on the court every day, waking up every day wanting to improve, wanting to win, being determined, being professional. It's that desire and motivation that keeps me going. Every match I play, I try to win, regardless which match is it or whoever is across the net."

The sixth-seeded Fish was the only player to win a set a set against Djokovic this week.

Fish has lost all seven career meetings with Djokovic, but gave the top seed a battle with his awkward mix of baseline and attacking play.

"I put myself in a lot of positions to have chances," Fish said. "I just didn't execute on the big points. "There's a reason why (Djokovic) has won so many matches this year. He's got to be leading the tour in break points saved, I'm sure, among other things. Those are huge."

Djokovic, who played night matches this week, looked uncomfortable from the outset and needed to save six break points to get through the opening set.

He saved his eighth of the match before Fish finally broke him with a perfect forehand down the line to take a 3-2 lead in the second set. Djokovic looked lost as he was broken again to close

out the set.

But Djokovic was nearperfect on his service in the final set, although he needed four break points, one of which he challenged a call and lost, before finally putting away Fish.

"It was a close match, for sure," Djokovic said. "A couple of points, one good return game in the third set, decided the winner. But it's a final. I knew that he is not going to give me the match and the win. I knew that I have to fight for it. Up to the last moment, you didn't really know who is going to win. But I believed I could do it. I had composure when I needed to.

I think that was decisive."

Djokovic was in his first event since winning Wimbledon, while Fish has been the hottest player of the hard court season leading to the U.S. Open later this month.

He has reached finals in three straight tournaments in the last month, winning in Atlanta.

(AP) — The Southeastern Conference is staying just at it is — for now.

However, the game of major college conference realignment appears far from finished.

University of Florida President Bernie Machen, the chairman of the league's presidents and chancellors committee, said the group met Sunday and “reaffirmed our satisfaction with the present 12 institutional alignment.”

Machen said no action was taken regarding Texas A&M or any other schools. He didn't, however, close the door on change.

“We recognize, however, that future conditions may make it advantageous to expand the number of institutions in the league,” Machen said in a statement. “We discussed criteria and process associated with expansion.”

The Aggies reportedly are looking to leave the Big 12. The Texas A&M System board of regents is to meet Monday, and among the items on the agenda is conference alignment.

A&M President R. Bowen Loftin said in a statement Sunday there is “a considerable amount of misinformation” regarding the school and the SEC. Loftin said he did not participate in Sunday's meeting with the SEC, but is authorized by the regents to “take all actions related to athletic conference alignment.”

The school's first preference destination appears to have been the SEC. Arkansas Chancellor Dave Gearhart said that much was made clear at the SEC meeting on Sunday. “(Texas A&M) did approach

the SEC, not the other way around,” Gearhart said. “I'm not really sure of all the reasons for that. I'm sure that there's a lot of speculation on behalf of a lot of people that what caused them to do that.

“The bottom line is they did approach the SEC.” Gearhart said the Aggies were among a number of topics discussed at the SEC meeting in Atlanta.

“It was really an open discussion, not just about A&M but about the future of the conference and the future of other conferences,” Gearhart said. “We did talk about Texas A&M. It's a great university, a great place. But I think the decision was to make no decision at this particular time.”

Gearhart said the SEC presidents and chancellors are “very comfortable” with the 12-team alignment, financially and competitively. But he, too, said they wouldn't rule out expansion.

“If some other conference is going to make changes, it behooves us to take a look at that,” Gearhart said.

Gearhart said the SEC presidents and chancellors are “very comfortable” with the 12-team alignment, financially and competitively. But he, too, said they wouldn't rule out expansion.

“If some other conference is going to make changes, it behooves us to take a look at that,” said Gearhart.

He added: “I think everybody will sort of be watching what happens in Texas and what they do.”

Gearhart said he didn't come away from the meeting with any clearer idea of what form future conferences might take.

He said talk of four “super

conferences” was just that, talk.

As for how any future alignment would affect the SEC, or if the conference would look actively look to add schools, Gearhart pointed to the league's history of success and his confidence in commissioner Mike Slive.

“If you look at what the member institutions have won on the gridiron and all sports, for that matter, we've done very, very well,” Gearhart said.

Big 12 Commissioner Dan Beebe and the conference's board of directors discussed the future of the conference and Texas A&M's possible departure during a conference call Saturday.

“The board strongly conveyed to Texas A&M its unanimous desire that it remain a Big 12 member, and acknowledged its value to the conference,” the Big 12 said in a statement Saturday night.

Texas State Rep. Dan Branch, the chairman of the Texas House Committee on Higher Education, called a hearing before his committee for Tuesday with Big 12, SEC and Texas A&M officials. Branch had said it would be “inappropriate” for Texas A&M to switch conferences before the hearing.

The Aggies' football team went about business as usual Sunday with a two-hour morning practice indoors.

Coach Mike Sherman has said that he's not in the loop on developments involving the SEC. He was not available for comment after Sunday's first workout, but said Saturday he and his team are concentrating solely on the Sept. 4 opener against SMU. The school said athletic director Bill Byrne was traveling back from France and also was not available.

Yanks’ Posada Still Wants To Play In 2012 Contributed Article Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Jorge Posada would like to play another season; he's just not sure someone will give him the chance.

The Yankees' longtime catcher-turned-designated hitter has struggled most of the year, even causing a stir by taking himself out of the lineup at one point. He had recently lost his job as the regular DH, but Posada made a spot start Saturday at Tampa Bay and hit a grand slam while driving in six runs.

Yankees manager Joe Girardi said he planned to start Posada on Sunday, but the series finale against the Rays was rained out. So he put Posada in the eighth spot in the order Monday night against Kansas City, where he went 1-for2 with a walk in the Yankees' 7-4 victory.

"The week that he kind of had off he continued to do his work, and his cage work, and that's what it is," Girardi said, referring to the six days between when he benched Posada and his game against Tampa Bay. "Jorge has pride in his performance and wants to be a big contributor," Girardi added.

Posada is batting .237 with 10 homers and 37 RBIs, though most of the damage to those numbers came during an early season slump.

He's batting over .300 in 30 starts since the first week of June, despite a 1-for-13 slump that resulted in Girardi giving him an extended rest.

Girardi wanted to use the DH spot to find at-bats for Eric Chavez and give veterans like Derek Jeter some time off. Third baseman Alex Rodriguez could also need some extra time as designated hitter when he returns from knee surgery, which the Yankees are tentatively planning for the series opener Thursday at Minnesota.

That means less playing time for Posada, who turns 40 on Wednesday.

"You put yourself in the situation and hopefully you try to do everything possible to keep in the lineup, and I have to look at it like that now," Posada said. "I don't know. It's just one of those things."

Posada, a career .274 hitter, is in the final year of a $52.4 million, four-year contract.

"It's tough for me to tell you exactly what I'm going to do, to tell you the truth," Posada said, when asked about playing next season. "I really won't know until the season is over and I get home, and see what happens in the offseason. I'll work out and stuff. I haven't really thought about it, but I

Jorge Posada says, "I dare you to try to pull this catching gear off of me!" (AP)

still think that I will (play) right now."

Posada said he isn't sure he'll be back with the Yankees, where he's played his entire career, or even what position he might play. The fivetime All-Star said he could still catch if given the chance to work behind the plate in spring training, and he can also play first base in addition to designated hitter.

"The great athletes love challenges," Girardi said, "and sometimes you get a challenge in a sense like that, guys want to show you. Jorge wants to play every day, and I respect that, I love that. Whatever it takes for him to be productive, I'll take it, because it allows me to do some things."

In other news, Girardi said right-hander Freddy Garcia plans to throw a bullpen session Tuesday after slicing his finger in a kitchen mishap. Ivan Nova will start Tuesday night and Bartolo Colon in the series finale against the Royals, with the starter Thursday dependent upon how Garcia looks in his bullpen session.

"You have to make sure it's healed, so we don't tear it open. That's the thing: You don't want to go backwards," Girardi said. "We'll see if it's better tomorrow, and if it's not better tomorrow we'll try for the next day."

Rodriguez was traveling Monday to join TripleA Scranton-Wilkes Barre, where he is scheduled to make at least two rehab starts. A-Rod hasn't played with New York since July 7 while recovering from knee surgery.

"Conceivably, yeah," Girardi said of getting him back Thursday. "We'll see how he does these next two days."

Jay Cutler On The Run As Bears Beat Bills In Opener CHICAGO -- If indeed he was experiencing flashbacks, Jay Cutler wasn't saying. Who could blame him if he did, though?

Cutler was on the run and out of the game in hurry, playing just one series as the Chicago Bears opened the preseason with a 10-3 victory over the Buffalo Bills that did nothing to ease lingering concerns about the offensive line.

"They were good. They were fine," Cutler said.

"It took a little bit to get settled down. Some of those young guys are still jelling a little bit."

The Bills got two sacks from Shawne Merriman and nine in all, but the Bears prevailed on a soggy night in which both teams pulled their starters early.

Cutler and Chicago's skill position starters were gone after one series, with the linemen staying in for the first half. On defense, the first stringers lasted two series, while the Bills lifted their starters on both sides after two.

The way Cutler was running around, it sure felt like last season. Sacked a league-leading 52 times a year ago, there wasn't much he could do Saturday with the defense bearing down on him. At least this one didn't end with a knee injury or with the outside attacks on his toughness, as his previous appearance at Soldier

Field -- an NFC Championship loss to Green Bay in January.

All Cutler managed behind a revamped line that no longer includes departed center Olin Kreutz was this -- a shovel pass to Matt Forte on the Bears' second play from scrimmage for no gain and then a 10-yard scramble. He got sacked by rookie Marcell Dareus on a third down at the 35 before Chicago punted.

Newcomer Roy Williams didn't have a ball thrown his way.

Forte stayed on for one more play after that shovel pass and didn't attempt a run but was at least in uniform. He had considered holding out at the start of training camp because he wants a new contract, and considered sitting out this one, too.

Newcomer Marion Barber made a good impression, running for 45 yards and leading the Bears to a second-quarter touchdown. He carried six times for 37 yards on that drive, setting up a 4-yard run by backup quarterback Caleb Hanie that put Chicago ahead 7-3.

Hanie got a rude welcome on the previous possession when he was sacked on consecutive plays by Merriman. That forced Chicago to punt after Johnny Knox returned the kickoff

Bills Release Aaron Maybin PITTSFORD, N.Y. -- The Buffalo Bills ran out of time and patience in waiting for linebacker Aaron Maybin to develop before being left with little choice but to waive the former first-round pick on Monday.

"He put so much into it, but there wasn't any appreciable improvement," coach Chan Gailey said following the team's evening practice in suburban Rochester. "It was better to do it now than to do it later."

In two short years, Maybin went from promising passrusher to the Bills' latest firstround bust in a move made a little over three weeks into training camp and two days after he failed to make an impact in a preseason-opening 10-3 loss at Chicago.

Maybin's departure did not come as a surprise, especially after Gailey had already described the player's status as "tenuous" in January.

Selected 11th overall in the 2009 draft out of Penn State, Maybin failed to register a sack or even break into the team's starting lineup in 27 career games.

He appeared in only 11 games last season, with the low point coming during a midseason stretch when he was listed as an inactive for five straight games.

Maybin had become such a notable disappointment that Bills fans had begun to refer to him as "Maybe."

Maybin struggled keeping his weight up, which made it difficult for him to outmuscle opposing offensive linemen.

He entered the NFL listed at 250 pounds, but had reported to camp last month listed at 228 pounds.

"That's the big thing," general manager Buddy Nix said, referring to Maybin's lack of size.

"I saw where somebody said that he didn't fit the scheme.

But I don't know what scheme

he fits at that size unless you're a strong safety or something."

Maybin had complained that his metabolism made it difficult for him to easily add bulk.

And yet he struggled last year after the Bills made the switch from a 4-3 to a 3-4 defense, which was expected to better fit his style of play.

Nix insisted the Bills afforded Maybin numerous opportunities in part because of how high he was drafted.

“That's the reason we took a little longer. We needed him and we wanted him to come through," Nix said. "He did everything he could do. He practiced hard. He hustled. He did everything you asked of him. It just didn't work out."

Despite his on-field struggles, Maybin was mostly upbeat and jovial. He would often sing and joke with his teammates as he walked off the field following practice. And he often celebrated with a fist pump whenever he made a sack in practice.

That enthusiasm never translated into making an impact in games, where he saw most of his time playing on special teams.

Another consistent knock against Maybin was his ineffectiveness against the run, something that also led to coaches limiting his playing time.

The Bills were second guessed immediately after selecting Maybin, who entered the draft

after three years at college, and with less than one full year as a starter with the Nittany Lions. A redshirt freshman, Maybin did lead the Big 10 with 12 sacks in only 10 starts during in his junior and final season.

Maybin becomes the latest in a string of disappointing first-round picks drafted by the Bills this past decade. It's a group that includes offensive tackle Mike Williams, who was cut after only three seasons after being selected fourth overall in 2002. Other first-round picks who have failed to make an impact in Buffalo included quarterback J.P. Losman and defensive tackle John McCargo.

The Bills' inconsistent drafting is among the key reasons they've gone 11 straight years without making the playoffs.

That's tied with Detroit with the NFL's longest active drought.

Buffalo has now lost three first-round draft picks since the start of training camp.

Besides cutting Maybin, the Bills lost safety Donte Whitner (selected eighth overall in 2006) to free agency, and traded receiver Lee Evans (13th in 2004) in exchange for a fourth-round draft pick to Baltimore on Friday.

The Bills have four players they selected in the first round left on their roster, including rookie defensive lineman Marcell Dareus out of Alabama.

70 yards following a 44-yard field goal by Rian Lindell late in the first quarter.

For the line, it was simply a rough night.

Kreutz, the six-time Pro Bowl center, is gone after contract negotiations collapsed, and the Bears are going with veteran Roberto Garza rather than newcomer Chris Spencer for now.

Garza got beat on Merriman's second sack, and it wasn't a great night for the rest of the blockers, either.

"Too much pressure on the quarterback," coach Lovie Smith said. "We have to tighten that up a little bit. But besides that offensively I thought we accomplished what we wanted to the first game. We have so far to go."

The Bills had to like what they saw from Merriman and Dareus, the third pick in the draft.

Buffalo is counting on both players to help a defense that ranked last against the run a year ago and got hit hard by injuries while trying to adapt to the 3-4. That's one reason Buffalo went 4-12 last season, and coach Chan Gailey was quick to praise Merriman.

"The understatement of the evening I thought Merriman was impressive on his return," he said.

They never got the spark they were seeking

from Merriman in November because the three-time Pro Bowler injured his Achilles' tendon about 15 minutes into his first practice with Buffalo after being waived by San Diego.

He missed the rest of the season.

"I'm still getting a feel for the game again, so going out there and making certain moves, getting back in football shape is going to be a long process, but you are never going to take the athleticism and the ability to go out and want make plays for somebody," Merriman said.

"I've been away for a year and half still just getting into the groove of things."

It wasn't a bad night for Ryan Fitzpatrick, either. He completed 7 of 9 passes for 44 yards for the Bills.

Stevie Johnson, the man the Bills are counting on to take over the No. 1 spot with Lee Evans gone, caught three passes for 15 yards. Fred Jackson ran for 18 yards on three carries.

"Everybody knows what an outstanding player Lee was here," Fitzpatrick said. "The off-thefield stuff, the leadership that he provided in that room was something that maybe you don't see every day. That's going to be something that the guys are going to have to pick up."

Bills Deal Lee Evans To Ravens BUFFALO, N.Y. -- In receiver Lee Evans, the Baltimore Ravens acquired a proven veteran to play alongside Anquan Boldin.

By trading Evans for a fourthround draft pick, the Buffalo Bills are putting their trust in a young group of receivers, who are suddenly minus their respected leader and fivetime captain.

Two teams who have spent much of the past decade going in different directions completed the trade on Friday in the midst of the NFL's first week of preseason games.

Evans' best game last season came against the Ravens, when he had 105 yards receiving and three touchdowns in Buffalo's 37-34 overtime loss.

For the Bills, they were able to free up the $3.25 million in salary Evans was scheduled to make in the second-to-last year of his contract. And the move also frees up room in allowing Buffalo to provide additional playing time to a revamped group of receivers.

"We have six or seven really promising young receivers.

We'd like to see those guys develop and we want to give them that opportunity," Bills general manager Buddy Nix said, before the team traveled to Chicago to prepare for its preseason-opener on Saturday. "Unless somebody got hurt, you were going to have

a good player that you were going to have to let go."

The trade was not well received by Bills veteran cornerback Drayton Florence, who questioned the move in several posts on his Twitter account.

"Sad day for the bills," Florence wrote. "Are we trying to win now or later????"

The trade allows the Bills to be second-guessed as to how losing their most productive receiver improves what's been an inconsistent offense on a team that's coming off a 4-12 season and missed the playoffs for an 11th straight year.

Despite showing modest gains on offense under quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick last season, the Bills still finished 25th in yards gained and 28th in points scored. Buffalo scored more than 20 points only four times.

Evans is coming off his worst season, in which he finished with 37 catches for 578 yards and four scores, while also missing the final three games with an ankle injury. Despite his sagging numbers, he still played a significant role in the Bills' passing attack by attracting coverage his way and opening room for other receivers.

Nix predicted a mixed reaction from Bills fans regarding the trade.

"There'll be about half of them that like it, and half that

won't," Nix said. "That's the way most of the decisions are."

Without Evans, the Bills are relying on Stevie Johnson to take over the No. 1 spot after the fourth-year player enjoyed a breakout season last year. He led the team with 1,073 yards and 10 touchdowns. Roscoe Parrish, a six-year veteran, returns to play in the slot after missing the final half of last season with a broken wrist.

Also in the group is David Nelson, who emerged as a third-down specialist last year. And then there's 2010 fourth-round draft pick Marcus Easley, who missed his entire rookie season with a knee injury. Easley had just resumed practicing this week after missing 10 days with a hyper-extended knee.

Also in the mix is Buster Davis, who is attempting to jump-start his career after four injury-troubled seasons with San Diego. A 2007 firstround draft pick, Davis signed with the Bills on Aug. 5.

Evans, selected in the firstround of the 2004 draft out of Wisconsin, posted a note on his website thanking Bills owner Ralph Wilson and Bills fans for their support.

But after seven non-playoff seasons in Buffalo, Evans was also eager to be heading to Baltimore.

"This is a very exciting time for me and my family, and I'm really looking forward to the opportunity," he wrote. "I can't wait to get started."

His best season came in 2006, when he had 82 catches for 1,292 yards and eight touchdowns.

Evans ranks third on the Bills' career list with 5,934 receiving yards. He's also fourth with 377 receptions and fifth with 43 touchdowns.

The Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame, located at 15 W. Third Street, Jamestown, has been a fixture of the community since 1980, and was organized to preserve and honor Chautauqua County’s sports celebrities.

Hall of Fame President Ron Melquist says membership is growing, and their displays and collections are exceeding the space they currently utilize. At their July, 2011 board meeting, the Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame Board of Directors agreed that establishing a Non-Endowment Fund at the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation was the best way to gather the necessary funds to use towards expansion.

Bosnik Wins Dodger Pride Award, Continues Hot Play In August Contributed Article

St. Bonaventure Sports Information

MIDLAND, Mich. — Former St. Bonaventure baseball standout Jesse Bosnik earned the Dodger Pride Award for the month of July from the Los Angeles Dodgers organization, and has continued his hot play into the month of August looking to repeat the honor.

Bosnik, the third baseman for the Dodgers' Single-A affiliate Great Lakes Loons, batted .309 with 13 RBI and tied for the team lead with five homers in 24 July games. Bosnik had arguably the best game of his career on July 29 against South Bend, tying a career high with three hits and powering a career-high two homers in the Loons' 5-4 loss.

"I got off to a slow start and struggled early, but when you play 140 games there are going to be times when you struggle," Bosnik said. "You just need to go out every day and compete and battle. I knew I needed to have a good second half.

"Hitting coach Lenny Harris was working with me all year, but in the second half it just 'clicked.' It's cliché, but it all just came together. All you can worry about is hitting the ball hard and having quality at bats. You can't control if you hit the ball hard and someone catches it. My first full season has been full of learning experiences like this."

The Dodger Pride Awards were created in 2008 by General Manager Ned Colletti, and are given on a monthly basis to the players at each level of the club's minor league system who play the game with a hustling, smart, aggressive style. The players and staff on each respective club vote for the awards.

After hitting just .183 in April and .213 in May, Bosnik hit .263 in June before his big July. While he is currently hitting .245 in August due to a recent cold stretch, the St. Marys, Pa. native was hitting .417 through the first week of the month.

Bosnik was selected in the 13rd round of the 2010 MLB Draft by the Dodgers after a stellar junior year with the Bonnies. His 2010 season featured team-bests of a .387 batting average, 50 runs scored, 79 hits, 20 doubles, five triples, 11 home runs, 62 RBI, a .696 slugging percentage and a .445 on-base percentage. Furthermore, he became the first player in program history to finish with at least 20 doubles, 10 home runs and 10 stolen bases in the same season. Bosnik had a

hit in 39 of 48 games, including 24 multi-hit performances and 17 games with multi-RBI. His 19-game hitting streak at the start of the season was the longest in program history.

Among the A-10 leaders in 2010, Bosnik finished sixth in batting average, fifth in doubles, tied for first in triples, fifth in RBI, fifth in total bases (142) and second in slugging percentage despite the Bonnies playing less games than 11 of the other 13 teams in the A-10.

Those numbers etched Bosnik in the Bona single-season record book. With his four RBI in the final game of the season against Temple, Bosnik surpassed Brian Pellegrini's record of 59 RBI set in 2007.

Bosnik also finished just five hits shy of Randy Moley's school record of 84 hits, tied for third in doubles, fourth in runs scored, fifth in slugging percentage and seventh in batting average.

Despite leaving St. Bonaventure a year early, Bosnik has continued to take classes during the offseason and is nearing completion of his business management degree.

Sabres Lock Up Gragnani For Another Year

Sabres.com

Coming off the most successful season of his four-year professional career, defenseman Marc-Andre Gragnani today signed a one-year contract with the Buffalo Sabres. With training camp just over a month away, Gragnani knew that he would eventually put pen to paper with the Sabres.

“I wasn’t stressed about the process at all,” Gragnani explained during a phone conversation from his hometown of Montreal. “They had other priorities with free agency, and there were some other guys they needed to get signed before me. I knew everything would work out.”

The 24-year-old Gragnani was named the American Hockey League’s Most Outstanding Defenseman in 2010-11, leading all AHL blueliners with career highs in both points (60) and assists (48) while playing in just 63 games for the Portland Pirates. Gragnani was recalled twice to Buffalo during the season, but it was his second tour of duty that garnered the most attention.

Prompted by injuries to Jordan Leopold and Shaone Morrisonn, Gragnani contributed three points (1+2) over the final six games of the season, while averaging more than 16 minutes of TOI per game. Gragnani picked up his first career NHL point (assist) against the Rangers on March 30, and then recorded his first career NHL goal -- an OT game winner -- in Carolina on April 3.

Gragnani had struggled through previous recalls, but that wasn’t the case this time. He says that once he was told that he was staying Buffalo for the remainder of the season, it allowed him to calm down and play his game.

“Once I knew I was up for the year, it was a relief. Jeep (assistant coach James Patrick) told me on my second or third day that I was here to

Post-Concussion Symptoms Still Affecting Sidney Crosby

Contributed Article Associated Press

PITTSBURGH -- Sidney Crosby's summer vacation is almost over. Still, there's no telling when the Pittsburgh Penguins star will return to work.

General manager Ray Shero said Monday the former MVP is still dealing with concussion-like symptoms and it's too soon to know if Crosby will be available when the Penguins open camp next month. Sidney Crosby ©Stephanie "There's no expectation from Cohen/THW me that he won't be ready or he's cleared to participate in he will be ready," Shero said. full-contact drills.

his superstar has been OK'd by doctors.

"I don't think when Sidney Crosby is healthy and ready to go, he's not going to shy away from contact, nor is he going to shy away from competition," Bylsma said. "It would take quite a bit to keep him out of getting ready for the start of the regular season."

Crosby was in the midst of an MVP-type season before the injury, amassing 66 points (32 goals, 34 assists) in 41 games.

He sustained hits in consecutive games in early January before being diagnosed with the concussion. He flirted with returning during the playoffs before a series of setbacks kept him off the ice.

Both Shero and Bylsma have been in frequent contact with Crosby since the season ended, with Shero saying most of their discussions have centered on the team, not Crosby's health.

Shero senses Crosby's frustration and doesn't think setting an arbitrary deadline for his return would do anybody any good.

"I want him to feel good about himself," Shero said.

"He'll be back at some point to play hockey."

Gragnani followed up his regular season performance with a team-leading seven points (1+6) in Buffalo’s seven-game loss to Philadelphia in the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals. Gragnani’s six

assists were a Sabres rookie record for assists by a defenseman in one playoff series, and he also tied Pierre Turgeon (1988) for rookie points in one series. Despite playing in just seven playoff games, Gragnani’s seven points led all rookie defensemen in the postseason, and he finished fourth in rookie playoff scoring.

With the additions of Christian Ehrhoff and Robyn Regehr, Gragnani knows that he’s in tough to secure a spot on the Sabres blueline this season. But Gragnani said he needs to prove that what he accomplished during the playoffs wasn’t an aberration.

“It’s going to be completely up to me,” he explains. “I need to take on the same role I did during the playoffs and stay comfortable doing it. I now have no doubt that I’m capable of doing that on a regular basis at this level.”

Gragnani finished up his season representing Canada at the IIHF World Championships in Slovakia, picking up two points (1+1) in six games.

The Montreal, Que. native now has three points in 15 career NHL games with the Sabres since 2007-08. During his four AHL seasons with Portland/Rochester, Gragnani collected 206 points (47+159) in 283 games, and never scored fewer than 43 points during a single season.

Gragnani was originally drafted by the Sabres in the third round (87th overall) of the 2005 Entry Draft. He played four seasons of junior hockey with the QMJHL’s PEI Rocket.

Jets Forward Rypien Found Dead In Alberta Home

Contributed Article NHL.com

Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Alberta have confirmed that Winnipeg Jets forward Rick Rypien, 27, was found dead in his home in Crowsnest Pass, AB, on Monday.

According to a report in the Toronto Globe and Mail, RCMP officials confirmed the death was not of a suspicious nature.

National Hockey League Commissioner Gary Bettman issued the following statement regarding the death of Rypien: "The National Hockey League sends its deepest condolences to the family, friends and teammates of Rick Rypien, who played the game with so much energy and emotion and whose passing fills us all with a sense of immeasurable sadness and sorrow.

The Jets also issued a statement on Rypien's passing: "We are deeply saddened to confirm Rick's passing. As many people are aware, he had strong ties to True North Sports & Entertainment, the Winnipeg Jets Hockey Club, the former Manitoba Moose Hockey Club and the Vancouver Canucks. We would like to express our sincere sympathies to the Rypien family as well as Rick's friends. We also appreciate all of the support that has come pouring in from Rick's fans. Rick was a talented player with an extremely bright future.

His hunger for the game made him a valued team member both on and off the ice. This loss has impacted us as more than just a hockey team."

The Canucks also released a statement Monday night: "It is with tremendous sadness that the Vancouver Canucks confirm the passing of Rick Rypien. Rick has been a beloved member of the

Canucks family for the past six years. Rick was a great teammate and friend to our players, coaches and staff. We send our deepest condolences to the Rypien family at this most difficult time."

Rypien had spent his entire six-season NHL career with the Vancouver Canucks, totaling 16 points and 226 penalty minutes in 119 games. He had 1 assist and 31 penalty minutes in nine games this past season. He missed part of the season on a leave of absence due to personal reasons.

He also had 2 assists in 11 American Hockey League games with the Manitoba Moose, and 1 goal in seven AHL playoff games.

Rypien's previous success with the Winnipegbased Moose -- he spent parts of five seasons there and became a fan favorite -- had led to his signing with a one-year, $700,000 contract with the Jets last month.

THE BEAT

After run-in with Busch, Johnson finally shaking ‘vanilla’ label

J

immie Johnson’s run-in with Kurt Busch at Pocono, followed by his and Busch’s comments on the subject the next week at Watkins Glen, are signs that Johnson is a different person than he was in his early days in NASCAR. And the budding feud also could mean that this year’s Chase for the Sprint Cup could be reminiscent of one of the sport’s classic championship battles where two drivers who didn’t particularly like each other went head-to-head each week in the run for the championship.

For Johnson, the fact that he confronted Busch on pit road at Pocono after the two banged doors on the track, combined with the way he didn’t shy away from the subject in his media appearances at Watkins Glen, show that he’s come a long way from being the “vanilla” person he was perceived to be for much of his career.

The vanilla reputation has always been a sore spot for Johnson, but it wasn’t entirely untrue. He’s often acknowledged that he initially had to maintain his squeaky-clean allAmerican image because that was one of the tools he used to attract the backing needed to advance his career in motorsports. His family was far from wealthy, and his way of always saying and doing the right things allowed him to get and keep the backing he needed to advance from off-road racing to NASCAR. But even as he tried to shed the vanilla image, it continued to dog him. Just last fall, there was debate over whether his uncontroversial image was the reason many fans had tuned out NASCAR telecasts.

Johnson strongly disagreed.

“Well, I know that I’m not the reason for those things, and I sure as [expletive] know

Asked to respond I’m not vanilla,” he said the time. “It’s

unfortunate that it still lingers around because I think I’ve done plenty to show that I’m far from vanilla.”

He said last week that his reaction to Busch isn’t the sign that there’s a “new” Jimmie Johnson.

“No, that is not the case,” he said. But he didn’t deny that he’s long had an ax to grind with Busch.

“We know there has been plenty of history over the years,” he said. “And there are just things that just kind of boil to a head, and when I hopped out of the car and started talking to him he had one level of interaction with me while he was sitting in his race car. And when he got out of the car, neither one of us were happy, but we were talking. And the crowd started to build and his bravery started to build.

I walk away … and he got awfully tough.”

Johnson said [Busch’s] big talk in front of a crowd is what had him steamed the most.

“That really makes me mad,” Johnson said.

“Bottom line: he just started running his mouth. If you look at, over the years, what his mouth has done for him, it got my biggest fan Jimmy Spencer to punch him in the face.

It’s led to issues with NASCAR officials on pit road. I think we all tune in weekly and wonder, ‘What’s he going to say to his crew guys?’

“At the end of the day, I’m not going to let him run his mouth at me. That is just kind of how it is.”

Busch also had plenty to say about the incident, and his comments brought to mind the mind games that drivers like Darrell Waltrip and the late Dale Earnhardt used to use to “rattle the cage” of an opponent.

to Johnson’s comments about him, Busch replied: “It’s great. It means that I’m in his head, and if I’m in his head he’s got to worry about us running through this Chase.”

Busch also said he’d like nothing better than to square off with Johnson for the title.

“I’d love to see that atmosphere,” he said. “If we can perform well enough in the Chase and be in position to race Jimmie Johnson for the championship head-to-head, that would be wonderful.”

But he acknowledged that with the Chase format, that’s not likely. “It’s not really possible because you can’t just focus on one guy,” Busch said. “There’s going to be 12 guys that make this Chase, and every one of them has a shot at the championship.”

Busch did hint that there will be one guy that Johnson needs to keep an eye out for.

“When you have a history with a guy, you just don’t forget about it,” Busch said. “I learned from one of the greats about how to keep a memory of who does you right or who does you wrong, and that was Jimmy Spencer. He taught me a lot.”

Johnson said he knows a feud with Busch isn’t what he needs as he tries to dominate the Chase and win a record sixth straight Cup championship. “You don’t want enemies, issues, or anything lingering but you just don’t have that luxury at times,” he said, adding that the worst-case scenario is when the bad blood escalates to wrecking on the race track.

“As soon as that driver … if he is a Chase driver or even if he is not, he holds all the power and all the cards,” Johnson said. “At some point … he can just dump you.”

Marcos Ambrose chased his racing dream halfway around the globe, giving up his status as one of Australia’s greatest racers to start over at the bottom in NASCAR. On Monday, more than five years after he made his NASCAR debut with a 33rd-place finish in a truck race at Martinsville, Ambrose achieved his goal of becoming a winner in NASCAR’s elite Sprint Cup division. It took him 105 Cup starts to get there.

“I’ve sacrificed so much to get here and to finally win and be here in Victory Lane in the Cup Series is a dream come true,” he said.

Ambrose raced past Kyle Busch and Brad Keselowski on a green-white-checkered-flag run to the finish at Watkins Glen International, then was out front when the caution flag flew for a nasty crash involving David Ragan and David Reutimann. Ragan and Reutimann walked away as did Denny Hamlin and Kurt Busch, who also slammed the wall during Monday’s race.

Keselowski, still ailing from injuries suffered in a crash during practice at Road Atlanta, finished second and moved to 14th in the standings, which should put him in a better position to claim one of the wild-card spots in the Chase for the Sprint Cup. Busch was third and is now tied with Carl Edwards for the Sprint Cup points lead.

Drug arrests lead to crew firings Two employees of Earnhardt Ganassi Racing have been fired from the race team and suspended indefinitely from NASCAR after being arrested on drug charges in Huntersville, N.C. Jerome Frey and Trevor Lysne, both of whom worked on driver Juan Pablo Montoya’s No. 42 team, face charges including trafficking marijuana.

“I am extremely disappointed with the news that we received about two of our crew members,” team owner Chip Ganassi said in a statement.

“We have a zero tolerance policy in this organization, and effective immediately both individuals’ employment has been terminated.”

Pocono races shortened to 400 Sprint Cup drivers and others in the sport have said for years that the two 500-mile races at Pocono Raceway were too long. That complaint has been addressed as the track has shortened both races to 400 miles.

“The 400-mile distance will make NASCAR racing at Pocono even more exciting,” Pocono Raceway president and CEO Brandon Igdalsky said in a statement announcing the change. “Race strategies will change, fuel mileage calculations will be altered, and I firmly believe that our fans will be treated to outstanding racing at the 400mile distance.”

Both 400-mile races in 2012 will have the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards as companion races. The August Pennsylvania 400 weekend will also feature a NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race on August 4.

New rules for fuel handler in pit NASCAR has changed its pit road procedures as they relate to the duties performed by the fuel handler.

According to the new rules, the fuel handler must be in control of the fuel can at all times when fuel is being added to the car. That means the “gas man” will no longer be allowed to make adjustments or perform other duties as long as the can is attached to the car.

“If the fueler’s only responsibility is to fuel the car, he will do a better job and make fewer mistakes on pit road,” NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Director John Darby said in a news release announcing the change.

Joe Gibbs combines engine shop with Toyota Racing The conventional wisdom in NASCAR once held that a team couldn’t win a championship unless it operated its own engine shop. But as more things become consolidated in the sport, it wasn’t too much of a surprise when Joe Gibbs Racing announced last week that it was combining its engine shop with Toyota Racing Development, which supplies engines for other Toyota teams, including Michael Waltrip Racing and the Red Bull team.

It also wasn’t too big of a surprise given the relatively high number of engine failures that the Gibbs team has experienced this year.

J.D. Gibbs, president of his family’s race team, said on a teleconference that the move makes sense, given recent developments with both entities.

“Basically, over the past several years [with] our motor packages, we’ve done more and more to get closer and closer with [Gibbs’ chief engine builder] Mark Cronquist of our group and TRD’s group in Costa Mesa (Calif.), and we’re kind of at the point now where I think we can com-

bine a lot of the best attributes that JGR has, the best attributes that TRD has, and really have a better package going forward,” he said. “We take all our attributes and maximize that, all TRD’s and maximize that, and kind of combine them going forward. I think that will work out well.”

And Gibbs said that the move should help his team address some of the failures they’ve had this season.

“The TRD group has really helped us in a lot of these areas,” he said. “There are still areas we’re struggling with and bouncing around back and forth. Probably one of the hardest things that any team does in the garage is build motors.”

Team owner Michael Waltrip said in a statement that the combined engine outfit is a big plus for his team.

“We know TRD’s knowledge and resources combined with JGR’s experience and championship-winning attitude immediately make [Michael Waltrip Racing] a stronger organization,” he said.

Flavor of the Week August 18, 2011 Edition – Entertainment Section – C

Flavor of the Week: The Italian Fisherman

Entertainment Editor

From it’s humble beginnings The Italian Fisherman has grown into a staple of the Bemus Point experience. After almost 30 years of operation it still offers guests a fulfilling experience every time. So, stop by to try an unforgettable waterfront dining and drinking celebration with the Dalpra family.

The owner, Dan Dalpra had never heard of Bemus Point until he met his wife Susan.

They met when she moved to Ohio where he was originally from. “I fell in love with the beautiful quaint area,” said Dan. “But, I’m a pilot and marketing guy by profession.

So, I don’t know how I got into the restaurant business. But, I do know that we saw opportunity in Bemus Point. We had a dream and vision of creating a waterfront restaurant.”

When Dan and Susan moved to Bemus Point they noticed that no one ate outside. So, they came in with a vision to transform an old diner with apartments above and below into a constantly evolving three story waterfront restaurant complete with decks for people to sit outside by the lake.

“People thought we were nuts,” said Dan. “But, it’s been funny to watch because every time they tell me I’m nuts I figure I’m close to hitting a home run.”

Even though they were told they were nuts, they did it anyways. The first few years were difficult but luckily the bridge that crosses the lake was put in the same year that Dan opened the Italian Fisherman.

“For the first time ever people could get to Bemus Point without having to drive all the way around the lake,” said Dan. “It opened a whole new marketing strategy because now it wasn’t a day trip just to get from one side of the lake to the other.”

Dan and Susan were very unconventional with the way they ran the restaurant. They were always on the edge with new and innovative things that broke ground in the area.

Eventually it set standards that the entire area had to live up to. They even went as far as opening another restaurant not to far from the Italian Fisherman called Guppy’s. They ran it for about five years before selling it. And, it is still in operation today.

“We took risks because we were excited and young,” said Dan. “Everyone started to notice that we were bringing a lot of people to the area and that while here they were sitting outside. So, it wasn’t long before people started calling Bemus Point ‘Deckville’ because everyone started putting decks out. It raised the bar, set a pace and a standard so that everyone else had to step it up a little bit. It was good for the area because it

started bringing more tourists in.”

Since it’s inception in 1982 Dan has had plenty of time to become efficient. His two daughters, Danelle Dalpra and Deanna Scott helped develop the employee training strategy.

There are over 150 locals who are employed by the Italian Fisherman. And, all of them have undergone the sophisticated online training system.

“We’ve gotten to a point where we’ve learned to be very

efficient. When you become organized it makes a big difference to your bottom line,” said Dan Dan’s daughters are more involved with the Italian Fisherman than just for training purposes. Danelle runs the entire back of the house including the food service and catering. Deanna handles the front of the house including the customer service and bar aspect of the operation. “It’s been a blessing having them in the mix and they play a strategic role in everything that we do,” said Dan. Over the years Dan has realized that people have come to expect a certain level of food quality that they can get in bigger cities. So, Dan focused on creating a menu that would be able to accommodate.

“We’re not an inexpensive restaurant but we’re not crazy with our prices either,” said Dan. “Our portions are large and a shareable. And, there is a lot of wow factor in everything that we do.”

Being over the top has made the Italian Fisherman a special place to a lot of people. It offers Continued on page 7

Continued from page 6

guests a great dining experience, wonderful sunsets and all in a fantastic location. But, even if guests do decide to sit indoors, no matter where they are in the restaurant there are enough windows to make it feel like they are outside. Plus, Dan is constantly working on improving the experience by updating and upgrading.

“Fortunately we’re in a good enough position with our business that we can afford to put money back into the community,” said Dan. One of the most unique and important aspects of the Italian Fisherman is that guests can have a completely new experience almost every time they come. With three floors and a different menu on each one, guests can choose where they want to sit to suit the occasion.

There is even a floating deck on the lake called the ‘Fish Tank’ that seats up to 100. It is a favorite of guests because they can dine or drink while feeling offshore. It is easily accessible by going downstairs and walking out on a dock that connects the deck to the restaurant.

“We tried to create a menu that if you were on vacation you could come here five days out of the seven and not be bored,” said Dan. “I think we accomplished that. Because, we have three different levels for people to enjoy. There is also enough variance in the menu that guests can come in for lunch and dinner and have a different experience during both.”

Dan’s daughter Danelle who is in charge of the food service cares a lot about the presentation of her dishes and the satisfaction of her customers.

She always encourages customers to try new things even when they are unsure.

“Our menu isn’t a typical Italian one,” said Danelle. “We try to add different flavors, so a lot of people might look at the menu and be like I don’t know about that. But, then they try it

and they say wow it’s like a party in your mouth. And, it’s because the flavors are very complimentary to each other. I also tried to incorporate a lot of my grandmother’s influence into the recipes. A good example is our use of Ricotta Salada. My grandmother always used to have it on the table when we had dinner at her house on Sundays. So, when we grate that over pasta the flavor brings us back.”

The menu itself is a unique way to present guests with information. It resembles a newspaper with dinner entrees on the front cover, lunch and Watergrill specialties on the back and on the inside plenty of information on the live entertainment featured at the restaurant and on the floating stage.

Danelle is very excited about a few recently added menu items.

One of the newest is the Gourmet Meat-A-Balls. This sampler is much more than one person could handle. It includes four delectable styles of homemade meatballs finished in complimenting savory sauces: Spicy Italian Sausage stuffed with fennel and basil Pomodorro topped with homemade red sauce and Ricotta Salada; Ginger Mango Pork stuffed with roasted red peppers and topped with sweet and spicy Thai chili; Buffalo chicken with wing sauce stuffed with gorgonzola, carrots and celery; Peppered bacon Kobe Beef stuffed with sun dried tomatoes with a zippy plum sauce. “The Spicy Italian sausage meatballs are traditional and feature my Grandmother’s homemade red sauce recipe,” said Danelle.

Another new addition to the menu is the savory cupcakes.

Despite their appearance and being dubbed cupcakes these delicious creations are not desserts. These hand made masterpieces are considered gourmet sides and are best paired with a steak or as an appetizer. The most popular is

the Lobster Mac and Cheese. It includes Fontina, Mozzarella, Asiago, Romano and Parmesan cheeses, macaroni, fresh lobster meat and is topped with a goat cheese, Romano, Parmesan frosting and a cherry tomato.

But, guests can also choose from three other options including Momma’s Meaty Lasagna, Spinach and Artichoke and Scalloped Artisan Cheesy Potatoes. “They resemble cupcakes but they are definitely not a dessert,” said Danelle.

A great thing for newcomers to try is the Italian Tapas Treo.

The small plates sampler gives guests an opportunity to try the many wonderful flavors of the Italian Fisherman. It generally includes two proteins, a starch and a vegetable. Every day it includes a different combination so guests always have something new to try. “It’s one of our number one sellers,” said Danelle.

A favorite of many is the Bella Danella. It is homemade Strozzapretti tossed in a light lemon basil pesto sauce with

August 18, 2011 Edition – Entertainment Section – C

fire roasted chicken and pancetta, sun-dried tomatoes, pine nuts and goat cheese. This delectable dish has the goofy nick name ‘Priest Chokers’. This is one of the Italian Fisherman’s signature dishes that uses homemade hand rolled pasta.

“The nickname ‘Priest Chokers’ came from a story about these monks in Italy who once a year would make this kind of pasta,” said Dan. “They would make so much of it that when they all sat down to eat they would eat

as fast as they possibly could.

What happened was they ate so much and so fast that some of them died from choking on it.

So, the story got around and the dish started being known as ‘Priest Chokers’. Fortunately no one has died here yet.”

The chicken and artichokes is also a favorite. It includes tender strips of chicken breast and artichoke hearts sauteed in garlic, olive oil, crushed Italian Continued on page 11

Bar of the Week:The Italian Fisherman

Entertainment Editor

The fun doesn’t stop when done eating at The Italian Fisherman.

With three bars and a unique experience at each one guests will always have something new to try.

Owner Dan Dalpra’s daughter Deanna Scott is in charge of the bar scene and experience. She makes sure that guests always have something great to drink when at one of the three bars.

“We know what people are here for during the summer, drinking and eating,” said Deanna.

Each bar at the Italian Fisherman is fully stocked excluding the deck bar called the ‘Fish Tank’. The Fish Tank gives guests a unique opportunity to drink and dine on a deck out on Chautauqua Lake. It has a limited menu because it is on the water but still has plenty of beer, wine and mixed drinks for any occasion. “It’s a little more casual out there which makes it a lot of fun,” said Deanna.

While upstairs guests are greeted with a fine dining atmosphere. It’s more upscale so the drinks and food are focused on that as well. Downstairs is a bit more casual and gives guests a beautiful view of the lake. The food downstairs is focused on

providing a lunch style menu with burgers and a variety of appetizers.

To change things up even more there are featured drinks whenever there is a guest performer.

“Each night we try and theme it differently based on the performances we have downstairs or on the stage too,” said Deanna.

There are also specials on drinks that are paired with the burger of the day downstairs.

Upstairs there are featured wines that pair well with the Italian Tapas Treo. “We try to give people ideas on what drinks to pair with the food,” said Deanna.

The cocktails are where the real fun is. There is an extensive

list that is always changing to provide guests with something new and unique to try. “We always try to feature new drinks on our cocktail list that utilize the many liquors and liqueurs we have to try and cater to everyone,” said Deanna.

Almost a meal in itself this delicious drink called the Fisherman Bloody Mary is a great start to the night. “It’s our own special recipe,” said Deanna. “It comes with a our pickle, olive, pepperoni, lemon, lime and pretzel gold fish.”

The Big Dirty martini is also a crowd pleaser. It includes Grey Goose vodka crisp and chilled served straight up with a splash of olive juice, gorgon-

zola stuffed olives with a twist.

The Mojitos are also a favorite during the hot days of summer. There are even dessert type drinks like the Long Boat Key Lime martini. It includes a graham cracker crust and is topped with whipped cream.

If guests palate desires grapes then the massive wine list that features bottles from all over the world is sure to have something that will please. “We try to have a nice variety for all different kinds of drinkers,” said Deanna. “We do have some higher end which is nice as well.”

There are also local beers to choose from and the Chautauqua Brew by Southern Tier

Brewing Company is a local favorite. They carry a number of other Southern Tier Beers including the Organic unfiltered 422 brew. “We try to use as much local stuff as we possibly can,” said Deanna. “We even feature Steadman Corners Coffee from Mayville.”

For a unique drinking, eating and socializing experience with great live entertainment to boot, stop by The Italian Fisherman and enjoy life on Chautauqua Lake.

The Italian Fisherman is located at 61 Lakeside Drive in Bemus Point. It opens at 11:30 a.m. for lunch and dinner starts at 4:30 p.m. The kitchen closes at 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and at 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. For more information call 716-386-7000 or visit italianfisherman.com.

Celebrate the End of Summer at Bemus Point’s Floating Stage

By Dusten Rader Entertainment Editor

The end of the Summer is coming, and what better place to say goodbye than with the massive celebration at the Floating Stage in Bemus Point.

But, before that there are still opportunities to get out to Bemus and have a great evening. Live performances by great entertainers, free movies and a great location all sum up to be an unforgettable experience.

All season long the employees at the Italian Fisherman and the Bemus Bay Pops have been providing entertainment to the community. Dan Dalpra, owner of the Italian Fisherman is very happy with how the events have been bringing tourists to the area this year and he can’t wait to celebrate the end of the season with all his friends.

The end of the season will culminate on September 4 with the Chautauqua Light the Lakes. The event will feature one of the largest fireworks displays in North America and starts at 9:20 p.m. with a Lake Flare Lighting then the Fireworks Extravaganza at 9:31 p.m. According to Dalpra the event is so impressive that it is actually visible from space. The celebration will also feature the Boogie Wonder Band at 7:30 p.m. on the Floating Stage.

And, there will be special celebrity guest detonators. There will be many locations that feature community festivals and concerts creating a county wide celebration. Someone is also going to get the car that WCA is giving away that has been on display in Bemus Point since the beginning of the season.

For more information the Light the Lakes ceremony visit ilovenylakes.com.

“We’re going to do seven locations in Bemus Point,” said Dalpra. “So, if you’re here you’re going to be right in the middle of one the biggest

firestorms you’ve ever seen in your life. We’re going to synchronize and detonate fireworks in Bemus Point and in Westfield. All of it will be broadcasted by Media One and there will even be a plane in the sky giving us their perspective on the event.”

But, before then there are plenty of reasons to get down to Bemus Point. “With over 40 shows the Floating Stage is almost like a performing arts center,” said Dalpra.

The Bemus Bay Pops Concert Series will present a number of live performances before the summer ends. Friday, August 19 at 7:45 p.m. the Little River Band will hit the floating stage.

Saturday, August 20 at 8 p.m. will feature An Evening with Barbra Streisand. Sunday, August 21 at 2:30 p.m. will feature the Bruce Springsteen Tribute Show and the last Praise on the Lake of the season at 9 a.m. At the end of August on the 26th at 7:30 p.m. there will be a large Texas Blues style BBQ and pig roast featuring a live performance by Hadden Sayers. Saturday, August 28 at 2:30 p.m. the Diva Show Band will make an appearance.

“The Barbra Streisand concert is phenomenal,” said Dalpra.

“It’s the closest thing you can get to the original without having to travel and pay a ridiculous amount of money.

At the same time it really helps WCA Hospital. What’s more important than not having a great medical facility in our local community.”

The fun really starts on September 1 at 6:30 p.m. with the Heads Up for the Pops Craft Beer Festival and fundraiser for the Bemus Bay Pops. The event is the first day of the Pops Week Special Events leading up to the Labor Day Finale and Light the Lakes Ceremony. This Brewfest will feature country star Sean Patrick McGraw with opening

act Tyson Bowman and comedian and magician Wade Live. The $25 dollar ticket includes crafted beer samplings, bratwurst and hotdogs provided by Smith’s Hot Dogs, prize drawings, raffle, Chinese auction and special meet and greet with performers. Tickets are available at the Jamestown Savings Bank Arena and online at bemusbaypops.com.

“The Brewfest is a great fun local event,” said Dalpra. “It will feature many local brewing companies like Southern Tier, Ellicottville and Michelob. All the proceeds from that event go to benefit the Bemus Bay Pops.

What’s great about the Bemus Bay Pops is that 100 percent of what they take in goes back into it. There is no staff, it’s all done by Michelle Turner, me and my staff at the Italian Fisherman. It really benefits the area on a whole because it fills all the hotels, restaurants and shops with tourists and makes more people aware that this is a great area.”

Friday, September 2 at 6:30 p.m. John Marcellus and Friends will celebrate the Mardi Gras Partry. Marcellus is of the Eastman School of Music. He will present the Bionic Bones Trombone Salute with a wild Mardi Gras Party serving Gumbo, beads and the works.

Saturday, September 3 at 6:30 p.m. the Labor Day Finale

begins. It will feature fireworks as well as the full symphonic Bemus Bay Pops Orchestra. It will serve as a memorial for the Director of the Bemus Bay Pops Bruce Morton Wright who recently passed away. It will feature John Marcellus and Steve Swanson. They will bring the season to a close with an Continued on page 10

August 18, 2011 Edition – Entertainment Section – C

incredible musical finale that will celebrate the end of the summer with a spectacular and explosive flourish. Followed by the Light the Lakes ceremony on Sunday, September 4 at 6:30 p.m.

“John Marcellus is an incredible trombone player and he will be a great director for the Bemus Bay Pops this year,” said Dalpra.

“Bruce Morton Wright was an original founder of the Bemus Bay Pops and we lost him a few weeks ago. He was with us for 13 years so we’re going to pay tribute to him with a big celebration of life during Labor Day.” The Floating Stage is also home to SE93’s Chautauqua Lake Idol and the new Junior Idol. Every Monday night featured performances by locals with a Grand Finale event on August 15. “The Chautauqua Lake Idol gives locals a huge opportunity to perform before three to five thousand people,” said Dalpra.

“Michelle Turner’s idea for the Junior Idol was genius. A kid from eleven local schools got to perform in front of thousands of people. Then during the Finale they all came together to sing. And, that is just over the top cool.”

Plus, every Tuesday M&T Bank presents Free Movie night for the whole family. The movies are viewable from both sides of the Floating Stage, broadcast on 104.9 fm and begin at dusk.

The area has been so popular over the years that it has drawn tons of tourism. So, much so that hotels and condos pop up all over Bemus to give the visitors a place to stay. “Those condos went up three or four years ago and that’s because of the commerce that the stage was bringing here,” said Dalpra.

“People started showing up in large quantities and developers

saw the need. That’s how it works, if you have the attractions people will come. But, it’s more important to keep people here with long term programming. That’s what we’ve done with our stage and our restaurant.”

According to Dalpra the Bemus Bay Pops program alone generates over 14 million dollars of economic development for the community. He hopes that in the near future that he can express to neighboring businesses and organizations alike that teaming up to form a collaborative effort will lead to even greater success for the area.

“We need to quit thinking that we’re a marketplace that doesn’t have anything to offer,” said Dalpra. “We have so much to offer and in my estimation we’re just not marketing it efficiently.

We’ve got it all here, everything anyone could ever want. If people are driving by and not stopping in Chautauqua County then we’re not doing our job right. I think we could be a nine to ten month season here if we had the collective and collaborative effort. The foundation of any successful community is small business and we’re loaded with them. They are the best because no one works harder than those who own things personally. And, we need to create opportunities for the younger generation so that they stay here and don’t go elsewhere. We can do all that and more by stepping away from the norm and creating an over the top wow factor.”

The Floating Stage is located in Bemus Point next to the Italian Fisherman at 61 Lakeside Drive.

StarBoyz Performing at Thunder in the Streets

Submitted by Tiffani Conti The 8th Annual Thunder in the Streets will run noon to 11 p.m. on the west side of the city in conjunction with Cruisin’ on Friday, August 19th. There will be live music on Renaissance Square and a beer and wine garden along with food and novelty vendors.

Free motorcycle stunt shows will be provided by the nationally and internationally known StarBoyz professional stunt team throughout the day. Visit starboyz.com to see pictures and videos. Each show will tear up West Third Street in front of the Jamestown Savings Bank Arena. The StarBoyz created sport bike freestyle in 1995 when they started pushing the limits on their newly purchased sport bikes.

After a series of videos and media coverage the demand for live performances was created.

The StarBoyz perform both nationally and internationally including Sturgis and Ohio bike weeks, West Coast Choppers, Monster Truck Nationals, Toronto Grand Prix, St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, and large corporate events like Oakley Sunglass Company and Delphi.

The StarBoyz have appeared in an array of sport bike magazines including Super Street Bike.

The team has also starred in six of their own stunt DVDs, performed in Europe, received corporate sponsorship through Joe Rocket, and perform over 30 shows annually within the United States.

History Comes to Life

Dozens of exhibitors and hundreds of visitors at Mayville’s Millennium Conference Center put more excitement in history than most of us probably remember from high school.

With well over 50 exhibits, demonstrations and re-enactments, Chautauqua County’s first History Fair put lots of life back into old subjects.

Whether your interest lay in geography, military, Native Americans, early settlers, trains, steamships, music, or any number of other subjects important to Western New York, there were lots of people knowledgeable in your area to explain the importance of Chautauqua County.

Kudos to our Chautauqua Count Historian for putting the History Fair together. For more pictures of the event, go to www.ndening.com and click on Chautauqua County History Fair.
