Vitameatavegamin and Candy Wrapping: Nostalgic Memories 2012 Lucy Fest, August 3-4

By Peter Hamilton Star Contributing Writer

Journey Gunderson, the Executive Director at the Lucy Desi Center, did not expressly say it, but she might have hinted that “Vitameatavegamin” will not be served at the 2012 Lucy Fest this year. What will be served will be nostalgia, trivia quizzes and wistful comedy. On August 1, Jamestown will host its five-day “Lucy Fest” to be held in various locations in downtown Jamestown. Most events will be located at Tracy Plaza/City Hall. In addition, headliners will perform each night at the Reg Lenna Civic Center. Largely, the Lucy Desi Center will host events during the course of the five-day event. “All of the festivities,” says Gunderson, “will be a true comedy festival.” Last year the festival commemorated Lucille Ball’s 100th birthday and set an attendance high of 13,000 attendees, featuring more than ten comedians from NYC, Boston, Atlanta, San Francisco and Los Angeles. The festival made international news with the setting of a Guinness World Record for “Most People Dressed as Lucy Ricardo” at 916. This year is Journey Gunderson’s second experience with organizing the Lucy Fest affairs. Last year, according to Gunderson, the underlying supportive theme of the festival was a celebration of comedy. Journey Gunderson says that idea will continue again this year with presentations and workshops on the art and talent of comedy performers. The 2012 Lucy Fest will be the “larg-

est” I Love Lucy trivia contest held to date, says Gunderson. The Lucy Fest is held annually at the closest date to Lucile Ball’s birthday. Perhaps one of the trivia questions might be, “What is that day?” Another question that might come up during the trivia contest could be, “What was the name of the candy factory in the iconic candy wrapping scene?” Or, if stumped on that one, “What was the name of the lodge where Fred Mertz was a member?” Paula Poundstone might know those answers. Paula Poundstone is among the list of celebrated comedians to be present during the Lucy Fest. Poundstone was named one of Comedy Central’s 100 greatest comedians of all-time and she is a long-time panelist on NPR’s Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me. She is known for her speedy humor and quick-

thinking retorts on the popular radio comedy-quiz program. Paula Poundstone will host the comedy night program on Thursday, August 2 at 8 p.m. Along with Poundstone, will be Bill Chott, the recipient of the 2012 national INNY Award for “Best Improv Coach,” and the founder of the Improv Trick Academies in LA and St. Louis. Chott toured alongside Tina

Griffin is a NAACP Image Award winning producer and former staff writer for sketch comedy series “In Living Color.” She serves as personal joke writer for comedian Steve Harvey. Her work has been featured on A&E, Fox, TNT, and The WB and BET networks. Tammy Pescatelli, the winner of the 2010 Comedy Central Stand-Up Showdown and a member of the Final Five on NBC’s Last Comic Standing will perform Friday, August 3 at 8:30 p.m. The Lucy Fest will not only present five days of performance comedy, it will propose an opportunity for audiContinued on page 2

Every year an entrepreneur can stay in business is counted a small victory on the road to success. For Dan Dalpra and his team at ‘The Italian Fisherman’ in Bemus Point, 2012 marks thirty years since they first opened their doors to the residents, tourists and al fresco dining on Chautauqua Lake. Star: What has it been like for you starting and maintaining a business in this area for thirty years? Dan: It’s been a long struggle, we’ve changed the whole dynamics to how we looked, how we operate, everything. We started this place as a little run-down diner. We came in with a concept that’s completely foreign to this area. Nobody ate outside, so we introduced the decks outside and people thought we were crazy. It was 1982, and that was the year the bridge went in. That opened up a tremendous amount of commerce around the lake. Our menu was pretty different; there was a lot of variety. Our goal was to create a menu for people who came here to visit for a week, so they could come every night and not get bored. So we created an atmosphere that was almost like two

or three restaurants in one facility, we wanted a really broad menu. Star: What sorts of changes have you made over the years? Dan: We’ve always had a lot of entertainment. I remember back when we first started we had a lot of people playing the violin in the dining room, we had a guy play the accordion. We tried it all, and while everything wasn’t a success we wanted to try a lot of things. We tried staying open year round, and we’d have airplanes fly in when the lake was frozen to taxi in and drive up for lunch. Then we had cross-country skiing on the lake too, with skis you could rent and we had chili and chowder that we kept ready. There just wasn’t enough people. Then we started to make some modifications and we expanded. We

made the restaurant larger, adding more seats, reaching out to farther groups around the area in Erie and the Southtowns of Buffalo. Developed a lot of good relationships with a lot of people. As the years past, we expanded as far as we possibly could, so we came up with the idea for the Pops program. Now we not only run a restaurant but a separate arts facility set up as a 501(c)(3) non-profit and we expanded that. We’ve really changed the face of the restaurant to be not just a place to come and eat but more of a destination. Star: What are some achievements you’re proud of? Dan: Here we are 30 years into our business and we employ close to 150 people. We make a significant economic impact on this area and the Pops is into its fifteenth year, and

that in its own right has created an economic engine for the area. I’m really proud of what we’ve created and really pleased. It’s taken us a long time to get here, and it was a struggle because we pushed the envelope a lot with new ways of doing things. Star: How did you get into the al fresco dining? Dan: I was a pilot by profession before I got into the food business. I had opportunities to fly and travel as a corporate pilot. I was in places that, anywhere around water you sat outside to eat. It was a no brainer. People are drawn to water. We wanted people to notice the lake and not take it for granted. When we remodeled, we made all the windows facing out over the lake. We made the water the Continued on page 11

RELIGION SECTION The Weekly Word The Righteousness Question

Rev. Tim Stahlman Family Church of the Southern Tier

Some Christians have asked, “How righteous do I have to live in order to have eternal life?” First of all, that question reflects a shallow appreciation of what Christ has done for you. We shouldn’t take a “path-of-least-resistance” attitude when it comes to our faith. We are living in a time where believers are looking to satisfy a minimal commitment to the Lord. A person with that attitude has a sincerity problem. Also, that question indicates a shallow understanding of what makes a Christian righteous. Righteousness is more than trying to act right for God. Righteousness is the nature

of God that is imparted into a person when they open up their heart and believe on God’s Son, Jesus Christ. Righteousness is a result of acting in faith, not just acting moral. There are many people in this world who have good morals but do not possess the righteousness of God. Just because you act morally does not qualify your belief in the promises of God. This is the mistake that many people are making. They are trying to make themselves righteous with morals without first being made righteous by God’s grace through their own faith. Morals are important but they do not produce true righteous-

ness. Romans chapter four gives us a good lesson on how God’s righteousness is obtained. The chapter is retelling the account of Abraham. Abraham was 75 years old when God spoke to him about becoming the founding ancestor of the Jewish nation. At this time Abraham was childless and both he and his wife Sarah were past the child bearing age. But God had a different reality in store for them. God spoke to Abraham and called him the “father of many nations.” Naturally speaking, it didn’t look like Abraham was the father of anything. Isn’t it good to know that God calls us something

different than the way things look? Praise the Lord! God calls you healed when you are facing symptoms in your body! (Isa 53:4-5) God calls you rich even when it looks like you don’t have enough! (2 Cor 8:9) This is what faith is: Believing what God says about us even when it looks completely opposite. So what did Abraham do? He believed God! He believed that he would experience a miracle and have a child in old age. Romans 4:22 says, “Therefore (because Abraham believed) it was imputed to him for righteousness.” Righteousness is not the result

of going to church, cleaning your room, or eating your veggies. It is something God imparts into your spirit because you sincerely believe that God performed a miracle and raised Jesus from the dead. You cannot make yourself righteous; only God can perform that act in your heart. When God has imparted righteousness in a believer that righteousness will seek to manifest in a person’s life. Your morals do not qualify your faith; your faith will desire to please God by living a pure life. God imparts righteousness to those who believe; and those who believe desire to honor God through purity.

with his flock. He knew his people, their problems and difficulties and he was one of them. During his pastorate, he founded an orphanage and a girl’s school, later taking in boys also. He started with 20 orphans and soon the number grew to 60. Vianney was always giving away his clothes to the poor. Once parishioners bought him a pair of new slacks which he exchanged with a beggar’s breeches. He would only say that “God is very good and looks after the poor.” After ten years, by 1827 Vianney was known throughout

powers to turn people to God, to encourage them to do good and be virtuous. In his confessional, vocations were decided, conversions affected and cures performed. Vianney loved God with his whole being and he carried on his work to convince people of the enormity of sin and to draw them to the love of their Creator. He was devoted to his duties as a priest and his humility stands out throughout his life as he could easily laugh at himself. Abbe Vianney had a burden to bear and he used it as a means to holiness.

A ‘Call to Arms’

Men’s Christian Conference, Sept. 8 Contributed Article Rick Till

A Call to Arms conference for the men of Chautauqua County is scheduled for Sept. 8, 2012, at the East Town of Dunkirk Fire Hall, South Roberts Road, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Conference coordinator Rick Till explained the purpose of the gathering is to awaken the men of our area. “God has called men to a place of responsibility; to spiritually

guide their wives and children; to be the spiritual leader of the family in its Godly order.” Rick stated that, “Our churches have compromised the orderly word of God and our families and society have suffered. God is a Loving God of order. There is absolute truth, a right and wrong, and there are destructive consequences due to God’s order being rejected and ignored.” “Our churches are filled with women who are struggling to fill the role of Godly men who are missing in action. We hope

that through this conference, men will be encouraged to take the position of a Christcentered husband and father that God created them to be.” Speakers for this event are Rick Till, Dave Gould, Chris Ray, Pastor John Duenas, Steve Glasier, and Pastor Mark Samworth, all of Fredonia. Speakers from Jamestown and Westfield are respectively Roy Miller and Pastor Vinnie Sanzo. For further information, contact Rick Till at workingforgod@ymail.com.

France as a holy priest with exceptional virtue and people from outside the parish were coming to seek his counsel. As the years went on, people began to come to Ars, he was hardly absent from his confessional spending 12 to 18 hours daily listening and responding to their needs. Three to four hundred people a day waited hours in lines to have confession with Abbe Vianney. It was known that he had the gift of clairvoyance, extraordinary insight into people’s minds and consciences, and he gave evidence of exceptional intuition. The importance of these gifts lies in their spiritual significance and Vianney used these

Everyone Has a Story

The ‘Carnie’ Moon lives in Hornell, New York, about 130 miles east of Chautauqua County. He and his girlfriend, Lynn Spike, travel all summer with Sheldon, before returning to winter jobs as newspaper deliverers. “I’ve worked for the paper for 25 years,” said Spike. “I got Neil into the job, and we love doing it together during the winter.” Carnivals: The Unexpected Matchmaker “I was doing carnival work in Angelica for the Allegany County Fair,” said Spike. “It was about 20 minutes from my home town, so I’d go out and work the gates for J&J Amusements, the same company that does the amusements here.” “That’s where I met her,” said Moon, smiling and glancing over at the booth next door where Spike was. “I got her into the real carnival work instead of just setting up rides. Rides are a lot of hard work and it’s only salary. This is much better, easier and we can earn more.” The booths that they travel in have bunks built in behind the game side. Setup is difficult, and varies depending on what booth. For instance, the ‘lineup trailer’ (the longer games, that line the main walkway) is as simple as opening Lynn Spike and Neil Moon met on the road, and now travel it up, stapling a few together with Sheldon Amusements. Living the carnival life posters and putting brought them together, and they enjoy the constant changes it a belly cloth around

it. The center games, like the Crazy Ball, take a little more effort. It pays off for them, though. Spike and Moon are both paid on a commission basis. You may have thought the workers shouting at you to invite you to play was just part of the experience- but it actually puts food on their table. “It’s pretty fun, overall,” said Moon. “We get together at a different spot every week, and get to meet different people.” A Different Perspective Wanting to get some other stories, I spoke with another carnival employee named Shawn. While waiting for his gun booth to get plugged in, Shawn shared some of his stories with me. “I’ve been with J&J [Amusements] on and off for a few years,” he said. “I don’t do this full time, I just help out once in a while when they need me.” Shawn, who comes from the Pittsburgh area, is an employee at a tattoo parlor. While he only spends time at carnivals one or two weeks a summer, it’s an experience that he values. “I meet a ton of people,” Shawn said. “Almost every year I’ve come here it’s been completely different people. There’s a high turnover rate in this business. Plus, you get a lot of people like me who only work a week or whatever. We don’t do this full time. They call me when they need help.” Shawn has worked in nearly every area of the fair- from the midway rides and games to the food stands.

brings.

Shawn, an employee of J&J Amusements, waits to finish setting up his booth at the fair. While he’s not a full time employee, he’s learned a lot in his travels that shed light on the real life of a carnival worker.

“I’ve set up rides before, but mainly I do games and food. I prefer games, they’re easier to set up. There’s so much cleaning that goes into the food booths.” Travel being the common denominator for Shawn, Moon and Spike, he spoke of the ups and downs of the moving around. “I get to see a lot of different places,” he said. “I get to enjoy the fair food, but there are only certain stands I’ll eat at. Because I’ve worked here, I’ve seen how nice the stands

are- and how clean the inside is. That’s something that most people don’t know to look for. I stay in my RV though. I like my shower and my own bed. My work and my house stay separate, thank God.” When you head to the Chautauqua County Fair this year, maybe spend some time talking to the employees. Getting to know someone can dispel something you thought you knew- and open your eyes to life on the other side of the fair ticket.

‘Fun Cup Ride’ to benefit Hospice

Take a Bike Ride Around Chautauqua Lake

Contributed Article Brooke Sheesley, Lakewood YMCA Personal Trainer

Two weeks ago I joined a group of area cyclists and biked all the way around Chautauqua Lake, for the first time in my life. It was approximately 42 miles of biking, and it took me three and a half hours to finish. I encourage anyone that’s in average or better shape to try this, because it really is a beautiful and rewarding experience. Here’s a list of the basic things you will need to be safe and successful in your journey... First of all, you need a comfortable bike that’s in proper working order. Check out the brakes, tire pressure and make sure you like the seat. You will be on it for a few hours! If you are wise, you might pack a spare tire. Make sure you know how to change the gears. And most certainly wear a helmet. Safety has to come before all else when you are on the road. I rode my Gary Fisher Wingra, it is a “fitness” bike, or hybrid as many would say, a cross between a mountain bike and a road bike (it’s tires are medium width). Many of the more serious cyclists had road bikes (the thinnest, lightest and fastest bikes). Personally, for a very long ride such as this, comfort is a big deal. I’m glad I wore padded gloves and padded

Walnut Stain. Next, I punched small holes in each corner of the photo and knotted raffia onto both sides, fraying the edges. Finally, I rolled it up tightly, inserted it into the bottle and used the coat hanger to help unravel the paper tube. Inside, I added some dried sea grass to give it additional texture and interest. On the outside, I added four pieces of wire-wrapped beach glass, an Oriental coin decoration and a tag, tied on with more raffia. I made it by covering a Victoria’s Secret clothing tag (they’re the perfect “surfboard” shape) with a scrap of the

dictionary paper and doublesided tape, inking the edges like the interior layers. I simply added “Summer 2011, Sunset Bay” with a Micron pen in my own handwriting to one side, and an illustration of a “wiggler” from the dictionary to the other. To finish, I removed the label from a round Patron Tequila cork, placed it in the bottle, and admired my work. It was a simple project from repurposed items, and made an attractive summer keepsake. I want to make more of these for holiday gifts, but will need more clear glass bottles. So, I should probably start drinking more wine. It’s for a craft project, after all. I like thinking outside of the traditional scrapbook page and photo frame when it comes to memory keeping. Does this qualify as a “scrapbook” project, even though there are no books, page protectors or embellishments? Who cares? It

does to me. How do you keep your memories? Online, in a photo book or some other way? Are your vacation memories kept differently from your everyday photos? Send me an e-mail at awalterich@sunsetscrapbooks. com and you may be featured in an upcoming column. This week’s pick: “The Beach House” 2011 Sauvignon Blanc & Semillion White Wine, a refreshing, delicious blend that tastes like sunshine. When you’re done with the bottle, you can always find a way to “scrapbook” with it. Anne Walterich is the owner of Sunset Scrapbooks, a photo preservation and album design service. When not looking for new ways to combine wine drinking, crafting and a day at the beach into fun new projects, she can be found online at SunsetScrapbooks.com and at twitter.com/SunsetScrapbook.

self available for signings. Says Poundstone: “It’s funny that we think of libraries as quiet demure places where we are shushed by dusty, bun-balancing, bespectacled women. The truth is libraries are raucous clubhouses for free speech, controversy and community. Librarians have stood up to the Patriot Act, sat down with noisy toddlers and reached out to illiterate adults. Libraries can never be shushed. If you haven’t been to your library lately, you’re over-due.” Poundstone’s razor-sharp wit makes her a perfect fit as a regular panelist on NPR’s popular weekly news quiz show, “Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me.” (2008 winner of the prestigious Peabody Award for broadcasting excellence) Her

Paula is also an Emmy and Ace Award winner for Best Program Interviewer.

Poundstone also released her first comedy CD: I HEART JOKES: Paula Tells Them In Maine, 60 minutes of hilarious comedy recorded live at the sensational Stone Mountain Arts Center – because as Paula says, “It’s very hard to do it any other way.” Showtime is at 8:00 p.m. Tickets ramge from $15 to $40.

Fredonia Opera House Presents The Tempest Contributed Article Fredonia Opera House

Academy Award Winner Christopher Plummer stars in a special U.S. theatrical release of Shakespeare’s The Tempest at the 1891 Fredonia Opera House on Fri., July 27, at 6:30 p.m. This captured-live in high-definition stage play

was filmed during two days of live performances with eight cameras at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival during Plummer’s 2010 engagement as Prospero. It was directed by Stratford Shakespeare Festival Artistic Director Des McAnuff. “Christopher Plummer is quite simply one of the greatest actors of our time, both on stage

and on screen. The opportunity to see him as Prospero in The Tempest – one of the greatest roles ever written and one he has longed to play – is nothing short of historic,” says McAnuff. The Tempest pits the desire for revenge against the demands of love and asks if man is capable of creating a brave new world.

The story focuses on Prospero, the banished Duke of Milan. Marooned on a distant island with his daughter, Miranda (Trish Lindström), Prospero has spent twelve years perfecting his magic arts. Now, with the help of the spirit Ariel (Julyana Soelistyo), he raises a Continued on page 13

The 75th Anniversary Of The Last Passenger Train Run

The death of the Dunkirk, Allegheny Valley and Pittsburg Railroad Company By Mallory Diefenbach Contributing Writer

America’s main way of travel is by automobile. Except in major cities where there are subways, those without an automobile experience more of a difficulty getting around then those without, especially when it comes to traveling from different major towns. However, this wasn’t always the case. Before highways such as Route 60, railways such as the Dunkirk, Allegheny Valley and Pittsburgh Railroad Company connected major towns and villages to each other. According to www.wnyrails. org, the Dunkirk, Allegheny Valley and Pittsburgh Railroad Company was formed on Dec. 31, 1872. It originally started out as the Warren Pine Grove Railroad when residents of Warren, Pa. proposed a railroad north of town following the valley of Conewango. The charter was granted in 1832 or 1833, but the project never left the planning stage. In 1853, the project was revised by the people of Warren and 1700 shares of stock were

sold to build the railroad. However, the first effective move towards building the road was held in the summer of 1866 when citizens of Sinclairville met to plan a railroad. With further meetings held in Sinclairville, Dunkirk and Fredonia, the Dunkirk, Warren and Pittsburg Railroad was organized in early 1867. An act from the New York State Legislature on April 23, 1867 authorized the company to issue stock and towns along the route provided $238,000 for the endeavor. Finally, on June 17, 1867 work began on the railroad at the route from Cassadaga Lake to Dunkirk. Track was laid south from Dunkirk to Laona in 1870, and by June 1, 1871 it had reached Sinclairville and 16 days later it reached Falconer. The first passenger train ran on June 22, 1871. On Dec. 31, 1872 the Dunkirk, Warren and Pittsburg Railroad combined with the Warren and Venango Railroad Company, forming the Dunkirk, Allegheny Valley and Pittsburgh Railroad Company. It was leased to the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad Company on

January 3, 1873. The railroad covered 90 miles from Dunkirk to Titusville, Pa. The New York stations which were included on the track were: Dunkirk, Fredonia, Laena (Laona), Nortons, Skidmores, Lily Dale, Cassadaga, Moons, Sinclairville, Vermont/Gerry, Ross’ Mill, Falconer, A. & G. W. Junction, Frewsburg and Fentonville. The passenger service ran until June 13, 1937. Since 1951, revenues dwindled due to the advent of the automobile; more people were using cars to get to place to place instead of the railroad. The earnings were in red by the time passenger service closed. The freight service continued into the 1960s before the railroad was shut down for good. The line was removed from service between Falconer and Dunkirk in 1972 by the New York Central in the aftermath of Hurricane Agnes. The path of the old line is still visible from NY Route 60 between Jamestown and Dunkirk. The passenger and freight stations on Prospect Street in Fredonia are still standing.

The Resource Center offers an amazing learning opportunity for those connected to the disability field. URGENT: New ways of addressing the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities will be explored when The Resource Center presents its third annual “TRC Symposium at Chautauqua” July 31 & August 1. While individuals with disabilities have made tremendous progress in recent years in their efforts to lead enriching, rewarding lives as valued members of society, they still experience a number of daunting challenges. As the preeminent provider of services and supports to people with disabilities and their families in Chautauqua County, The Resource Center knows well the unique issues faced by persons with disabling conditions. For the third straight year, The Resource Center will bring to Chautauqua County acclaimed experts in the disability field. These speakers will share their insights and experiences, enabling local professionals and families to learn new approaches to address universal challenges. The Symposium is titled, “Supporting Individuals with Disabilities: A Changing Landscape.” The event offers an opportunity to engage in fascinating discussions with those on the front lines of the issues and hear from those who experience disabling conditions throughout their daily lives. You’ll get a firsthand glimpse inside their struggles and triumphs. The experiences of those with disabilities can be quite diverse, but they can touch in profound ways the individuals themselves, their families and their community. Day 1 of the Symposium is set for Tuesday, July 31, in the historic Athenaeum Hotel on the grounds of Chautauqua Institution. The opening speakers will be Patrick Gauthier and Bill TenHoor with Advocates for Human Potential. Together, Gauthier and TenHoor have decades of experience in behavioral health policy, system design and quality improvement. They will discuss aspects and implications of the multi-year implementation of the Affordable Care Act and the Supreme Court’s recent decision on legal challenges to the law. They also will touch upon the impact on health care providers as well as people with special needs. Also slated to speak that morning is C. Thomas Cook, the executive director of Rehabilitation for Wisconsin in Action. Cook brings

with him 30 years of experience consulting, designing and operating programs serving individuals with disabilities. His discussion will focus on states that have implemented demonstration projects and utilized managed care to support people with disabilities.

Edye Schwartz, director of systems transformation for the New York Association of Psychiatric Rehabilitation Services, leads off the afternoon session. Ms. Schwartz is a proponent of the recovery movement in the field of mental health. Her discussion will focus on the key strategies and applications of New York State’s behavioral health transformation agenda, with an emphasis on the critical component of Care Coordination. Jerr Boschee rounds out the group of first-day speakers. Boschee is the founder and executive director of The Institute for Social Entrepreneurs in Dallas, TX. He has served as an advisor to social entrepreneurs for more than 30 years. Boschee will discuss breakthrough concepts that create jobs and careers for those with disabling conditions or those who are socially or economically disadvantaged. He also will talk about the government’s role in fostering new models and the explosion of academic institutions offering courses and degrees in social enterprise. Typically, one would expect to have to travel outside of the Chautauqua region, and perhaps even outside New York State, as well as pay a hefty registration fee in order to hear speakers of this caliber. But The Resource Center has

made it possible to host this Symposium right in our own backyard, and TRC has made the Symposium affordable – just $69, which covers both days of the Symposium. For that price, you also will get to enjoy a noontime panel discussion on Day 1, at which you will have the opportunity to hear personal perspectives and gain valuable insight from three accomplished individuals with varying disabling conditions. The panel presenters are Ed Christensen, Andrew Lockwood and Jocelyn Monaco. They are looking forward to sharing their inspiring stories. After the last of the day’s speakers, your Symposium experience continues. Attendees will have the opportunity to take a guided walking tour of Chautauqua Institution and enjoy the rich history and the stately homes and buildings of this special treasure. After the tour, you may return to the Athenaeum for the opportunity to attend a reception featuring about two dozen paintings created by artists with intellectual and other developmental disabilities. In addition to appreciating their talent, you’ll have the chance to meet several of the artists. Day 2 of the Symposium on Wednesday, August 1, will build upon the themes encountered on the first day. Attendees are invited to join the five guest speakers from the first day for breakout tours of various programs operated by The Resource Center, after which the attendees and speakers will interact in informal dialogs. The individual groups then will reconvene in TRC’s Conference Center in Jamestown for a luncheon, during which insights from the morning sessions will be shared. As you can see, the third annual “TRC Symposium at Chautauqua” features speakers with diverse backgrounds and global perspectives on current and critical issues facing individuals with disabilities and their families. An event like this doesn’t come around very often, and for only $69 you can experience the riches of all that the Symposium has to offer. The fee includes both days of the Symposium, as well as lunch each day. For more information visit us online at trcsymposium.com. The Resource Center has been supporting people with disabilities and their families in Western New York for more than 50 years.

Storytime With A Twist Bemus Bay Pops connects kids with the arts with classic story time for children series By Amy Vercant Star Media Group

The Bemus Bay Pops entertains, educates and inspires children this summer with their new “Sharing the Arts with the Kids” program debuting on the DFT Communications Floating Stage Thursday, August 2 from 11:00 a.m. – 11:45 a.m. with “The Adventures of Eshe the Ethiopian Elephant” by award winning children’s author Nancy Hahn. This unique story telling experience combines images, movement and music to introduce children to the performing arts and to inspire their continued exploration of the arts. A different story will be presented each Thursday from Aug 2 through Aug 23. The stories will be read and performed by the multi talented Bemus Bay pops celebrities Robin Grandin and Steve Swanson. Hahn composed a musical score for each book, choreographed the dances, and wrote all the characters’ theme songs. “There is no better place to showcase this program than the gorgeous DFT Floating Stage in Bemus Point” says Nancy. “Nancy Hahn approached me about collaborating with her with her children’s books and many other creative programs she has developed. The timing was perfect. We have been searching for a way to develop an educational branch of the Pops. We feel very strongly about our mission being to entertain, educate and inspire,” said Dan Dalpra, CEO and founder of the Bemus Bay Pops.

“The program is designed to develop interest of the arts for young people, educate and inspire them. Story time is a great way to start that process at a young age. Our program is unique because we have it animated with real musicians, ballerinas…this will be a new and exciting way for parents to have a quality art’s program that will make a difference,” he continued. The first installment of the series features “The Adventures of Eshe the Ethiopian Elephant.” Children will meet the lovable and colorful cast of animal characters: Eshe a Savannah Elephant, Purple Frog, Pink Dolphin, White Tiger, Yellow Snake, Bongo, and Banana Frog, who are all endangered species. Eshe overcomes her shyness with the help of her friends and learns that each of them has unique qualities that make them special to her and to each other in their beautiful African home. Future story times continue the adventures of Eshe and her friends. Dalpra continued to say this type of performance adds another dimension of the art’s for the Pops. Future plans include developing a Children’s Pop Concert series and Children’s Musicals. Author Nancy Hahn started her professional career as an elementary school teacher. After a few years of teaching she utilized her experience and knowledge to co-produce, write and host well-received children’s television shows. Fascinated by the outreach of television, she turned her talents to building and operating a UHF television station,

the first woman in the United States to gain that distinction. Nancy has created multimedia interactive learning aids for international broadband companies and has written radio pop songs that integrate with these educational programs. As a trained dancer and former dance teacher, she choreographed dances for all her children’s books as well. She is the creator of PurpleFrog Broadband Inc. and Frogercise, an exercise program designed for young children. The Adventures of Eshe The Ethiopian Elephant book series is a labor of love that arises out of Nancy’s concern for developing an increased awareness of conservation education among children. Nancy is also the author of “One Lost Boy,” the true and inspiring story of Bol Deng Malual, who was forced to flee his Sudanese home at age four by civil war, and began a long journey as a refugee with the “lost boys”. Her other books include Purple Frog and The Butterfly Castle; the Dancing Russian Doll and Rainbow Forest. Bemus Bay Pops presents Sharing the Arts with Kids featuring “The Adventures of Eshe the Ethiopian Elephant” every Thursday in August. Series ticket prices are $25 for the complete fourweek package or $10 for one performance. Ticket price includes an Eshe mat, book, mask and hand fan for each child. Limited on stage seating is available. For tickets, visit www.bemusbaypops.com or in person at the Italian Fisherman box office in Bemus Point during regular business hours.

Passage in the House of Representatives sends this legislation to the U.S. Senate, where Senators Schumer and Gillibrand have introduced companion legislation. Once passed by the Senate, this legislation will go to the White House for the President’s signature.

Higgins, Great Lakes Colleagues Warn of Immediate Need to Act on Asian Carp in Great Lakes Recent Study Indicates Greater Threat than Initially Realized Congressman Brian Higgins led a coalition of 15 of his House of Representatives colleagues in sending a letter urging the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Army Corps of Engineers to heed the warnings of a recent report published by American and Canadian scientists with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada. The report identifies the invasion of the Great Lakes by Asian Carp as a more imminent threat than initially realized. “The entry of Asian Carp into the Great Lakes would be devastating, both to the ecology of the Great Lakes region and to local economies,” said Congressman Higgins, a member of the Great Lakes Task Force. “Keeping our waterways clean and healthy is a federal responsibility and the time to act is now.” Congressman Higgins also spoke on the House Floor to remind his colleagues of the urgency of protecting the Great Lakes.

nately Chautauqua Lake has been one of them. Now we are paying the price. Diers’ analogy reflects the numerous ways in which we have all contributed to the deterioration of our largest inland lake: unchecked growth of drainage systems, household chemical runoff, and more. Now, with an unusually low snow pack last winter and a hotter and earlier summer season, we are faced with tremendous weed growth on Chautauqua Lake. Having spent a lot of time on the lake this year I can tell you first hand it remains a great place to boat, fish and participate in other water based recreational opportunities with friends and family. Yet there remains concern that the condition of the lake is hampering recreational use which will damage both our economy and quality of life around the lake. As a business organization, we have a critical interest in the long-term health of Chautauqua Lake. Boating and fishing are not the only businesses affected by the lake. It is directly responsible for the growth and support of numerous businesses in our county and the employment of thousands of people both seasonally and year-round. These businesses include stores, restaurants, hotels, cottages, realtors, gas stations, and art galleries. Chautauqua Institution is also very significantly on that list. Kudos to Chautauqua Institution for focusing on water quality and water conservation! Chautauqua is not only one of the largest property owners on Chautauqua Lake,

the Institution has taken a leadership role in lake and storm water management on its own grounds and strongly supports the Chautauqua Lake Management Plan. By implementing its own storm water and drainage plan, Chautauqua is working to retain water and reduce the flow of damaging nutrients into the lake and serve as a demonstration community for best watershed management practices. In addition, by bringing in water experts from around the world through its partnership with National Geographic, Chautauqua is influencing thousands of others to become responsible stewards for water conservation and watershed maintenance. For a great example of organizations working together to solve the problems facing Chautauqua Lake, please visit the new website developed by the Chautauqua Lake Management Commission: http:// chautauqualakes.webs.com/. Andrew Nixon of the Chautauqua County Visitors Bureau has been adding content. The site is intended to be a portal for information about the areas lakes and waterways and includes links to other sites. Additional information is being added all the time. Others involved in putting the website together are County Legislator Tom Erlandson, Chautauqua Lake Partnership member Tom Geisler, Chautauqua Watershed Conservancy consultant Jane Conroe, and Jeff Diers. We applaud the efforts of so many who are working to help clean up and preserve waterways in Chautauqua County.

Q&A

How to treat a dog who stinks Q: Our dog has been “skunked” twice this year already. Is there anything that can get the smell off him fast? — via email A: Forget tomato juice. If your pet ever gets skunked, the most effective de-stinking recipe is one you make fresh, from ingredients that you should keep on hand. The recipe: Take 1 quart of 3 percent hydrogen peroxide, 1/4 cup of baking soda and 1 teaspoon of liquid soap, such as Ivory. Mix and immediately apply to the stinky pet. Rinse thoroughly with clean tap water. The key is to mix the ingredients immediately before applying them to your pet. The chemical reaction bonds with the molecules that produce the smell and neutralizes them. Use a washcloth to work carefully around your dog’s eyes and ears. And don’t even think of storing any leftover solution. The chemical reaction of the combined ingredients cannot be contained — so just throw the leftovers away. — Gina Spadafori Q: To put it bluntly, our dog stinks. We’ve tried all kinds of products, and nothing works. Is there something we can feed him that will help? — via email A: If you’re constantly wincing at your pet’s objectionable odor, you need to make an appointment with your veterinarian. Bad breath can be a sign of rotting teeth or gums, and smelly ears are often a result of infections. An overall bad smell may indicate skin problems. Don’t ignore these warning signs. Disease can make your pet miserable and shorten his life. Stinky pets aren’t normal. Proper diagnosis and treatment by a veterinarian can improve your pet’s quality of life — and your life, as well, by keeping your pet sweet-smelling. — Dr. Marty Becker Do you have a pet question?

‘Dirty’ pets helping kids grow up healthy

Modern dog sports make elite athletes out of man’s best friend By Gina Spadafori Universal Uclick

laying with a dog used to mean a game of tug-of-war or fetch. These days, canine sports are organized and televised, and top competitors have fans like any top athlete. Agility, dock diving, flyball, freestyle, obedience, tracking, hunt tests and more — there’s an activity for every dog. I’ve tried almost all of them, and not been good at any one of them. (I’m not very athletic!) But my dogs and I have always had a great time. Here’s a look at four of the dog sports that are most welcoming to newbies: Agility: A canine obstacle course with jumps, A-frames, teeter-totters, open and closed tunnels, weave poles and dog walks (like the balance beam in a gymnastics competition). Agility trials test physical skill, control, patience and teamwork, and demonstrate canine athleticism, versatility and speed. Racing against the clock, dogs directed by their handlers must navigate a challenging course. In each of five height divisions, the winner is the dog with the fastest time and a run free of faults, such as knocking over the bar of a jump or missing the contact zone when coming off an obstacle. Any breed or mix can compete in agility, but medium-size dogs who are quick and nimble usually do best. Dock Diving: Splash! For some dogs, there’s nothing more fun than running and jumping into a body of water, whether it’s a swimming pool, a pond, a lake or the ocean. Not surprisingly, that love of water has been channeled into competition. It’s called dock diving, and it’s one of the wettest, wildest dog games around. Dogs in the Big Air event go for distance. The dog with the longest jump off the end of a dock is the winner. In heats known as waves, each dog runs down the dock, the owner throws a toy out over the water, and the dog jumps in after it. The distance he jumps is measured at the point where the base of his tail hits the water. If you say “Jump!” and your dog asks “How high?” Extreme Vertical might be his game. In this event, the dog races down the dock, then leaps up to grab a bumper suspended 10 feet above the water. The winner is the dog with the highest measured jump. Flyball: This simple relay race involves four hurdles and a tennis ball. Two teams race each other over a 51-foot course lined with four jumps. At the end of the course is a spring-loaded box that ejects a tennis ball when the dog steps on a trigger. Catching the tennis ball in his mouth, the dog races back over the hurdles, crossing the starting line before the next dog begins. The first team to run without errors wins. Speedy dogs and dogs who love to retrieve excel at

Studies suggest early exposure to pets can help children grow up to be healthier.

Agility competitors compete for speed over a challenging course of jumps, tunnels, teeter-totters and elevated dog walks. this game, but any dog can play, as long as he can learn to jump a hurdle and retrieve a tennis ball. Large or small, dogs of all breeds and mixes can compete together. Freestyle: Nicknamed “the tail-wagging sport,” canine freestyle (also known as musical freestyle or heelwork to music) is a choreographed routine set to music that incorporates elements of traditional canine obedience exercises and the equine sport of dressage. Almost any dog with a love of the limelight can do freestyle. Freestyle builds on a dog’s natural moves such as spins, rolls, jumps and bows. Dogs learn to spin in different directions, to jump through or into their partner’s arms, to bow before a waltz, to place their paws on an arm or on their partner’s back. For two-legged team members, it helps to have rhythm and an understanding of choreography. But even if you don’t, freestyle is a great way to have fun with a dog right in your own backyard, or to find a better dance partner than your spouse. A simple Internet search will hook you up with classes in your area for these activities. What are you waiting for? It’s time to play!

• For a healthier child, get a pet — or at least let your baby be around one. In a study published in the journal Pediatrics, researchers found that kids who spent time around dogs and cats during their first year of life were healthier and got fewer ear infections and needed fewer courses of antibiotics than little ones who led animal-free lives. Other studies have suggested that childhood exposure to animals leads to fewer allergies. These studies suggest that the pets — and the dirt that rides in on them — challenge the immune system and set up good defenses for life. • DVM360.com reports that new surgical procedures, such as laparoscopy, are changing the ways U.S. veterinarians spay dogs and cats. Traditionally, a spay meant the complete removal of the reproductive system, but now more veterinarians are removing just the ovaries. The procedure, especially when performed non-invasively, means less pain and a faster healing time. Such ovariectomies have been widely practiced in Europe for many years. • Cats are able to squeeze through spaces that seem narrower than they are because they don’t have a rigid collarbone to block their way through nooks and crannies. Once they can get their head and shoulders through, their sleek bodies present no further obstacle. — Gina Spadafori

Brass, continued from page 12 Jeremy. However, on May 8, 2011, after doing some work outside, Calvin had a massive, fatal heart attack. His close friends and colleagues Sean Greene and Robert Owen were devastated, but came up with the concept of the competition as a way to keep his memory, spirit and passion for music alive. “We were really shaken up by Calvin’s passing and wanted a way to keep his name on people’s minds,” said Greene

who, along with Owen, was in an area quintet with him. “We are also really interested in promoting brass chamber music, so a competition like this one seemed like the most appropriate event. Calvin was probably our strongest supporter and biggest influence as a quintet.” On July 6, the Fireside quintet traveled to Tennessee for the two-day event. They competed against nine other quintets from around the country and, on Day 2, performed against

four finalists. “The level of playing at this year’s competition was very high,” said Greene. “We were all thrilled that a group from Calvin’s alma mater entered the festival, and I believe it makes their win even more special for us.” That sentiment was felt even more so by Calvin’s widow, Paula, who presented the second place prize to the group. “I was absolutely thrilled to have a group from our alma

mater attend the festival, and (was) very proud when they won second place!” she said. “Calvin and I met at Fredonia, and he would have felt the same. The quality of the group attests to the fact that Fredonia has maintained its status as a top school of music.” The group of New York state natives, which includes John Bailey (Pembroke), Michael Dorato (Albany), Kathy Haynes (Cheektowaga), John Kresse (Cheektowaga), and Amanda Willard (Derby), was

especially pleased as well to have been able to lend its support to the Smith family and represent Fredonia proudly in the process. “The competition was a fun and exciting experience for us,” said Haynes. “We went without knowing much about it, and finding out that Calvin and Paula both came from Fredonia pushed us even harder. We wanted to represent the name of Fredonia and show that there is still a strong tradition of musical excellence.”

The Fireside quintet originated and began practicing for the competition in January. During the spring semester they played at various area venues, including SUNY Fredonia President Dennis Hefner’s retirement reception in May. They look forward to continuing when they return in the fall. To find out where they are playing next, visit www. facebook.com/TheFiresideBrassQuintet.

Summer Olympics: Fredonia Native Suhr With Shot At Gold 2009 — is No. 2. Meanwhile, Fredonia is preparing for the events as well. Yard signs become available at 3 p.m. on Thursday at Fredonia Hardware and P&G Foods in Dunkirk. The group also did so in 2008 and will be the same idea, but just updated.

By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

With less than two weeks before Jenn Suhr takes aim at Olympic gold, her native Fredonia is shaping up to watch and see if the hometown girl finally claim the ultimate prize. Suhr (formerly Stuczynski) has been the No. 1 ranked pole vaulter in the United States since 2006 and has won virtually every single gold medal in that timeframe domestically. But, she’s come up a little short on the world stage, including a silver medal at the 2008 games in Beijing. Suhr, who currently resides outside of Rochester, N.Y., won the gold medal at the U.S. Olympic Trials on June 24 in Oregon. That qualified her for second straight trip to the summer games. Those games will oﬃcially start Friday night with opening ceremonies (soccer events actually start on Thursday) televised live on NBC at 7 p.m. But, the women’s pole vault qualifying event isn’t until Saturday, Aug. 4. Each Olympian will have a chance to reach the qualifying height in their jumps, and if they do, they automatically make the finals for the event, which is two days later on Monday, Aug. 6. However, if 12 competitors don’t reach the height, then the only the top 12 scores will advance to the finals. As of the latest ranking on July 17, Suhr is the No. 4 ranked women’s pole vaulter in the world. Fabiana Murer of Brazil is No. 1 and Yelena Isinbayeva — two-time gold medalist including the one who edged Suhr in

If Suhr does win the gold, the monument will be readjusted to represent the height she cleared and the silver ball at the top of the monument will be replaced with a gold one. Also, the monument in Barker Commons, at 4.8 meters is the height Jenn eclipsed in Beijing to earn the silver medal. She’s since eclipsed that mark as recent as this year and will likely need to do so for a shot at the gold medal. If Suhr does win the gold, the monument will be readjusted to represent the height she cleared and the silver ball at the top of the monument will be replaced with a gold one. This is all courtesy of the Fredonia Olympic Celebration Committee, which has also set up a scholarship in Jenn’s name at Fredonia High School. Track and field events for Aug. 4 will be televised on NBC from 1:30-2 p.m., 4:15-5 p.m. and on MSNBC from 4:45-6 p.m.

This pole in Fredonia’s Barker Commons represents the height Jenn Suhr cleared at the 2008 Beijing Olympics (4.8 meters). Suhr has since cleared that height and will likely need to clear it again for a chance to medal in London. (Photo by Scott Wise)

Helpi Reyes Advances in Moniker Madness

Signs for Suhr

By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

Another week down and another win for Jamestown Jammers starting pitcher Helpi Reyes, who advanced into the final 16 in an online contest on Minor League Baseball’s oﬃcial website. MiLB.com’s Moniker Madness is in its sixth year and is a fan vote to determine “Who has the best name in the Minor Leagues?” The tournament starts with 64 players, similar to NCAA Tournament and has now been trimmed down to the final 16. “It is an honor to get picked in the Moniker Madness contest,” Reyes said. “Jose Behar told me congrats on making it to the third round [Monday] morning. Some of my teammates have even tweeted in support of me.” Reyes defeated Yogey Perez-Ramos last week in the second round to advance to the Natty Nattress Region semifinals. He defeated Roidany Aguila in the first round when teammates started to take note. “I was the first to notice when we were in Brooklyn,” said relief pitcher

and social media-extraordinaire Beau Wright. “We’re aware, but it’s kind of on me to keep checking.” Reyes will face Boss Moanaroa, a first baseman for the Greenville Drive of the South Atlantic League. That voting goes from July 24-26 with the winner to take on either Rougned Odor of the Hickory Crawdads or Zelous Wheeler of the Norfolk Tides. Quarterfinal voting will be this weekend, starting on Helpi’s birthday, July 27 and going through July 30. “Pretty much I have been plugging it on the website and Facebook,” said Justin Michael, media relations oﬃcer for the Jammers. “But beyond that we haven’t made buttons or anything special like that.” Fans can vote by simply logging onto milb.com and clicking on the

He’s allowing opponents to hit just .214 off him and has struck out 26 while only walking 14 batters this year. In addition, Reyes has improved in a lot of categories this year versus his first stint in Jamestown last year when he went 1-6 with a 5.37 ERA. “He is slated as our No. 1 starter in the rotation,” Michael said.

ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. — Current and former St. Bonaventure golfers, in addition to head coach John Powers, competed amongst some of the best talent in New York State and internationally this past week. Powers, will-be senior Brian McKenna, will-be sophomore Daniel Dunnigan, 2012 graduate Kevin Lewis and 1999 graduate Chris Blocher all participated in elite tournaments last week and over the weekend. Powers, who entered Thursday’s final round of the New York State Open Championship just two shots back of the leader following rounds of 7369, shot a final-round 73 on Thursday at Bethpage Black. Powers finished tied for fourth overall (+2) out of more than

130 professional and amateur golfers from New York State. The second-year head coach finished just four shots back of the winner and claimed $3,100 in prize money while representing Olean’s Bartlett Country Club. McKenna participated in the Porter Cup, the best amateur golf tournament in the United States, from Wednesday until Saturday. The Rochester, N.Y. native finished 75th overall with a four-round total of +17.

The championship draws some of the best amateur players from around the world, and its list of previous winners includes Phil Mickelson, David Duval, Scott Verplank and Ben Crenshaw. The event is in its 54th year being held at Niagara Falls Country Club. McKenna earned an invite to the Porter Cup by virtue of his medalist crown at Niagara Falls C.C. last September at the Little Three Invitational as he shot round of 74 and 75 in

gusty winds against Canisius and Niagara. Lewis, Dunnigan and Blocher all competed in the 90th New York State Amateur Championship at Elmira Country Club. Blocher, a 2011 St. Bonaventure Athletics Hall of Fame inductee, finished tied for 5th overall in a field of nearly 150 golfers with a four-round total of +7. After playing the opening round at 6-over par, Blocher bounced back with rounds of 72-74-71. He was one of just four players to shoot under par (-1) in the final round. Lewis, who was one of just 46 players to make the cut, finished tied for 25th at +18. After struggling to an 8-over 80 in the first round, he rebounded with rounds of 7474-78. Dunnigan missed the cut following opening rounds of 86-82.

Penn State Penalties Off Base

rly nd he ar, h s

Chris Winkler COMMENTARY

A week ago, I talked about how Penn State should be punished severely. Seemingly the only punishment that fit their crime was the so-called “Death Penalty” — a year, 8. or more, without a football er team. 74- The NCAA finally ruled on he Penn State Monday mornnds ing. President Mark Emmert based the punishments off of a report from former FBI Director Louis Freeh, which was commissioned by the school’s board of trustees. Thus, without a NCAA investigation, there was no due e process, such as a hearing in 4 front of the Committee of In- fractions. It was the NCAA’s nt decision to act quickly and ), that’s commendable. 12), However, the penalties diewl verge from what’s important here. ), The school was fined $60 , million, received a four-year e bowl ban and lost 10 scholarships per year over the next four years. 3), The NCAA also vacated all , Penn State wins from 1998 helleto 2011. Most important of that, is Joe Paterno is no m- longer the NCAA’s all-time hl winningest coach. In fact, d Penn State is no longer even ), in the Top 10 all-time win, ningest programs. 54 While no punishment meets the crime in this case, it 3), seems the punishment is off (5),base. Emmert and the NCAA decided to levy penalties that would cause the Penn State d at football program to suffer d for years. But, that’s not what org. this thing should be about. Penn State should have to suffer this year, by cancelling the 2012 season so the school can’t hide behind the football team yet again. And the penalties, while harsh, a seem to suggest football-reey lated infractions. Perhaps the d NCAA didn’t want to go a n- moral route, but to me, they a- punished the wrong people lity. by taking it out on current kly and future Nittany Lions. First of all, Penn State’s $60 million fine is over the Mat- course of four years. That’s osts $15 million a year. Just for ry perspective, according to 0-7 The Business of College ss Sports website, Penn State’s nd athletic department netted Tae slightly more than $31 million last year alone. That’s second in the entire country. y & Only five made netted more d- than $20 million. oon Add in the fact that Penn State does pretty well with donations as well. Last year, the school received the second-most amount of money that they ever have in a fiscal year. Imagine what they could do this year. But, d. money is money and while it’s a lot, in the grand scheme of things, who cares? The bowl ban offers nothing. Teams from all divisions of the NCAA get postseason bans for illegally recruiting players (see: USC). And the scholarship loss? Well, that’s the real meat of this penalty, and make no mistake about it, it’s harsh. The NCAA allows Division 1-A schools 25 scholarships per year and a max of 85 on the roster for one season.

For the next four years, Penn State is now allowed 15 per year and a max of 65, with the max not taking effect until after the 2014 season. Now, this is severe. High profile schools such as USC and Ohio State lost five scholarships for one year because of recruiting violations, among other things, which is much more than the perceived slap on the wrist. While five scholarship losses in one year might cut into a team’s depth, 10 a year for four years will simply lower the overall talent level of a team dramatically. Even though teams don’t always use all 25 scholarships in a given year, Penn State simply won’t be able to compete in the Big 10 in three-to-five years with the severe lack of depth and overall talent. But, this shouldn’t be about making Penn State unsuccessful on the football field. The current players have probably never met Jerry Sandusky. Some of the incoming freshmen have probably never even met Joe Paterno. But, that’s what happens in the NCAA. Past problems affect future endeavors. Sure, current players on Penn State will be allowed to transfer without having to sit out a year. But you forget some of these kids chose Penn State because they love the school for one reason or another. They’ll be robbed of a chance to do anything successful because of culprits they’ve never met. Robbing Paterno of 111 wins was a great move. He’s no longer the all-time winningest coach in college football history. But, that’s just in name. Their success over the last decade-plus may not be in the history books anymore, but it’s still in our minds. Never the less, it was a great move by the NCAA. But is this worse than the death penalty? In terms of on-field success, Penn State will suffer much worse long term from these penalties versus a one-year ban. But, they still get to play football, and I think that’s wrong. The NCAA isn’t doing the victims of this scandal a service by making Penn State go 3-9 every year. Whether or not it’s their duty to do so is another question, but if that’s what they were going for, then they failed. No, I’m not saying there’s any way to honor the victims, but cancelling a football season tells people that there are more important things in life besides football. It would give the school, the program and fans around the country a reason to reflect on why Penn State wasn’t allowed to play football this season. Now that they are, the school can hide behind 100,000 fans at a football game. It merely sweeps this thing back under the rug on Saturday’s. Of course, there will be a moment of silence, but thousands of drunken fans will forget what it was even for after the first tackle. Sure, maybe this penalty will hurt the program more than the death penalty. But is that what should have been accomplished here? Too often we forget about what college athletics should be for. And in this case, I think the NCAA placed too much emphasis on winning and losing, instead of merely playing. For that reason alone, I think they got it wrong.

Westfield Hospital Foundation Golf Tourney Celebrates 20 Years With Original Players

Contributed Article Submitted by Ann Weidman

The 20th anniversary of the Westfield Memorial Hospital Foundation/Associates golf tournament not only had a winning team from Mayville, but also three of four of the original 1992 players in attendance. Winners at Chautauqua Golf Course with a 59 on July 13 were Chris Elliott, Kevin Maytum, Jason Dudley and Dale Albanesius, all of whom have played the tourney for several years, and each received a Kindle Fire. As soon as their game was finished, three took off to play more golf at Chautauqua Point Golf Course. After-dinner festivities included drawings for special prizes and acknowledgement of three of the special visitors: Jim Kelly, who started the tournament 20 years ago when he was employed by the WMH.

he missed again. Scott’s knees buckled. Golf ’s oldest championship had been snatched away, handed to Els with one of the great collapses in golfing history. “You’re not really hoping the guy is going to make a mistake, but you’re hoping you don’t have to go to a playoff,” said Els, who was playing two groups ahead of Scott. “This one was different because I feel for Adam. I really didn’t mind going to a playoff. He probably didn’t feel that. But I was, at best, hoping for a playoff on the putting green.” When it was done, Scott

had to make a painful walk back to the 18th green to collect the prize that goes to the runner-up. On the table was the silver chalice that should’ve been his. He gave it to Els on a silver platter. The winner hardly sounded like one. In fact, Els was downright apologetic about the way it happened. “Sorry,” he said, looking toward a glassy eyed Scott. “You’re a great player, a great friend of mine. I feel very fortunate. You’re going to win many of these.”

Scott certainly has plenty of years to capture a major. He’s just coming into what should be the prime of his career. But no one really knows how he’ll bounce back from such a bitter disappointment. He has joined the infamous list of epic meltdowns, his name now etched alongside the likes of Jean Van de Velde and Ed Sneed and, yes, Greg Norman, his Aussie countryman and childhood hero. “I played so beautifully all week,” Scott said. “I shouldn’t let this get me down.” But how could he not? Scott can only hope he doesn’t turn out to be another Van de Velde or Sneed, players who had their one shot at glory and never came close again. Els tried to be encouraging. “I told him, ‘I’ve been there many times and you’ve just got to bounce back quickly. Don’t let this thing linger,”’ said Els, who added a second Open title to a pair of U.S. Open crowns. “I feel for him. But thankfully he’s young enough. He’s 32 years old. Continued on pg 10

Report: Golden’s Staff Broke Recruiting Rules

University of Miami football coach Al Golden is in his second year at the helm of the Hurricanes. But after a rocky start with numerous severe recruiting allegations in his first year, Golden has now been accused of similar recruiting allegations since taking over. All reports, however, are alleged at this point. (AP Photo)

Golden also said that he has been a college football coach for more than 18 years and stands by his record of compliance. “I, like all of us at UM, have cooperated fully with the joint NCAA-UM inquiry and will continue to do so, so that our program and our university can move forward,” Golden said. Earlier Friday, two people with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press that NCAA investigators visited Miami for several days earlier this month, just the latest round of the lengthy inquiry into the Hurricanes’ athletic department. The people spoke to the AP on

cuss the coming season at the Atlantic Coast Conference media days in North Carolina early next week. A significant portion of Shapiro’s allegations from last year revolved around Allen, who was an assistant football equipment manager until leaving the program last year. Shapiro said he gave Allen more than $200,000, most allegedly spent on players and recruits, as well as a luxury car. Allen denied those claims to Yahoo Sports in 2011, and has not responded to interview requests from the AP. Miami has been bracing for additional allegations, and was aware earlier this week that they were coming. In an e-mail obtained by the AP, university President Donna Shalala told trustees Thursday

Indeed, he had a wonderful life.” From Bill Mazeroski’s amazingly short, tear-filled acceptance speech to Phil Rizzuto’s rambling recollection of his life on and off the diamond, baseball’s highest honor always seems to produce a special impression on those directly involved.

Vicki Santo said she cried a lot while practicing her speech. Her poise was remarkable when it counted most. “It just feels right, a perfect ending to a remarkable journey,” she said. “I’m certain that Ronnie is celebrating right now.” So, too were his beloved Cubs. They paid a tribute of their own to Santo, clicking their heels as they jumped over the third-base line to start the bottom of the first inning at St. Louis. In 15 major league seasons, all but one with the Cubs, Santo evolved into one of the top third basemen in major league history while hiding his illness for a decade because he thought somebody might

Nearly three weeks ago, the Jamestown Jammers started an 18-game stretch against teams above .500. With 12 of those games at home and the Jammers sitting at 6-12 at just about the quarter-point of the season, it was seemingly now or never for this club. Well, two three-game sweeps, a two game sweep and on the verge of another three-game sweep heading into the final game of the stretch against Auburn Tuesday night, and the Jammers are back in the thick of things after a tough start. Jamestown opened up the stretch by sweeping the Brooklyn Cyclones on the road, then returning home to do the same to the Vermont Lake Monsters. The resurgence — especially at the tail end of the stretch — has been keyed by an offense that has finally got hot. In their first 29 games, Jamestown scored more than five runs just an appalling seven times. More than six runs, just three times. But a rehab stint by Michael Main sparked all of that. Since joining the club (after the 29th game), Jamestown has scored 44 runs in six games, including a 19-run barrage Monday

night where the Jammers scored 13 runs in the second inning. And Main’s been at the forefront. A former first round pick by the Texas Rangers, he was a pitcher up until this year when the Marlins acquired the righthander. With ERA’s over 4.50 each of the last three years, the Marlins asked Main to switch to an outfielder. So far, he’s excelled, including hitting .340 for in rookie ball. In his call-up to Jamestown (although he’s oﬃcially listed as on rehab from Jupiter) he went 2-for-3 in his first game in a 9-5 win over Mahoning Valley. Then, Monday night, Main went 4-for-4 with a homer and seven RBI as Jamestown clubbed out 17 hits and 19 runs in just six innings. Viosergy Rosa has been hitting, too. Since the off day two weeks ago, Rosa is batting .423 with a .583 on-base percentage. What’s been most impressive about Rosa this year is clear-cut improvement with his plate discipline. He’s tied for sixth in the league in walks and has the third highest onbase percentage. And in the meantime, he’s cut down his strikeout rate tremendously. Last year in Jamestown, his strikeout rate (per plate appearance) was 36 percent. This year, it’s down to

17 percent. Regardless, after a 3-9 start, Jamestown is now arguably playing the best baseball in the entire New York Penn League, going 15-8 since. So, can the Jammers keep this up? Well, at just about the halfway point of the season, Jamestown’s schedule finally eases up. A 9-game stretch against teams under .500 started Wednesday night with Jamestown taking a road trip to Aberdeen, Md. to play the IronBirds. The only team in the league worse than Aberdeen is Lowell, who Jamestown plays on the first three days of August when they return home. Sandwiched in between are the Connecticut Tigers, who have also struggled this year and sit 9 games behind first place Tri-City in the Stedler Division. Plus, Jamestown has all 10 games remaining with Williamsport, also one tied for the second worst record in the league. This past 18-game stretch was all about seeing if Jamestown could get themselves in contention before the schedule eased up. It looks as though it has. They’re just 2.5 games out of first place in the Pinckney Division and three games back of the Wild Card entering play Tuesday.

2011 winner: ‘Time is now to work on this year’

year ago, Paul Menard scored a surprising victory in the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, delivering his father John Menard an Indy win that had eluded him in years of owning and sponsoring cars at the famed track. Besides his breakthrough Cup win, Paul Menard scored three other top-five finishes last year, made a run at a Chase berth and wound up a career-best 17th in Sprint Cup points. As the circuit returns to the Brickyard this week, Menard is 15th in the standings, 79 points away from 10th place and a Chase berth. He’s still seeking his first top-five of the season and has four top 10s in a year that has seen his Richard Childress Racing organization struggle to find speed at many tracks. Although one teammate, Kevin Harvick, is sixth in the standings, he has just three top-five finishes, the fewest of any driver in the top 10. The other teammate, Jeff Burton, is 19th in the standings, 120 points away from 10th. Realistically, the only way either Menard or Burton could make the 12-driver field for the 10-race, season-ending, championship-deciding Chase is to win a race or two in the next six races, the final ones of the 26-race regular season. During the off-week before the Brickyard, Menard had time to

Paul Menard (right) signs an autograph for a fan at Pocono Raceway on August 5, 2011. (NASCAR photo) participate in the NASCAR teleconference and reflect on his win of a year ago. “We were fortunate enough to win the race last year and kiss the bricks, and [would] like to do that again, for sure,” he said. He said he often thinks back to his heartwarming win over Jeff Gordon, Regan Smith and Jamie McMurray. “I’ve got the trophy in a spot right between my bedroom and the kitchen, so I walk by it a dozen times a day at least,” he said. “I’ve got a lot of little things, pictures. A fan at a Menards store a couple of months back gave me some Tshirts from the race, from the inau-

gural race in 1994, up to last year’s race. Little keepsakes like that.” One lady made him a quilt. “It’s a huge quilt that I’ve got in our living room downstairs,” he said. “Just a bunch of things. It’s not really well organized, a lot of pictures, some montages and stuff, but got a little bit here and there throughout the house. A lot of reminders every day for sure.” Backing up his Brickyard win is going to be difficult, and is going to require improved performance from his team, as he acknowledged. “In order to contend for race wins, we have got to get better, and we all understand that, and we are

all working hard towards it,” he said, adding that he was encouraged by his performance at Pocono Raceway, a long track with flat turns that has similar characteristics to Indy. “We had a good run, qualified third and finished ninth at Pocono and a lot of those things translate back over to Indy,” he said. “I look forward to going to Indy. We are bringing a new car. It’s one that we ran at Richmond, but we wrecked it, broke the throttle and wrecked the car. This will be the first true test of this new car, and it’s been a pretty good one so far. So, hopefully, all goes well and we can repeat.” Menard said that while he’ll be playing the role of and accepting the honors of defending winner this week, he’s more focused on what happens when he straps in his car for practice, qualifying and the race on Sunday. “What happened last year was great, and I’ll always cherish it,” he said. “I have a lot of memorabilia from it, but the time now is to work on this year.” And for him there’s no bigger race on the schedule. “I know for the sport, Daytona is considered the Super Bowl, but for me personally, there’s no race I would rather win than the Brickyard 400, and to be a twotime winner there would be even better yet,” he said.

The 2012 season has been one to expect the unexpected from Camping World Truck Series driver James Buescher and his Turner Motorsports team. For starters, the youngster got his first major NASCAR win back at Speedweeks in Daytona; it came not in the truck series but in the Nationwide Series, where he was making one of his fairly frequent starts outside his primary division. The 22-year-old Plano, Texas, native went on to score his first truck win at Kansas Speedway in the fourth truck race of the season, then added at second at Kentucky Speedway. But his win in Saturday’s American Ethanol 225 at Chicagoland Speedway was about as much of a surprise as his Nationwide win at Daytona. He qualified 11th, but his truck lost speed mid-race so his crew decided to take the time to change the carburetor, a process that caused him to lose two laps to the leader. He took advantage of the “lucky dog” rules that allow the first driver one or more laps down to regain a lap at caution flags and make up the lost ground. Then he surged to the front on a late-race restart and held off Brendan Gaughan – who led a race-high 83 laps, but spun his tires while leading on the next-to-last restart and surrendered the lead – to seal the victory. “What a night,” Buescher said in Victory Lane. “Everyone on this team lives by the motto that we never give up, and tonight was a testament to that motto … “We all believe in what we are doing and the products we bring to the race track each and every week.” Like Buescher, points leader Timothy Peters and his Red Horse Racing team had to overcome early setJames Buescher (NASCAR photo) backs to be in contention at the end. He finished third. “We didn’t get much practice,” he said. “We had to change engines. “This team is strong from adversity. I’m just speechless every week on what they do for me. We started at the back and came to the front, we led a lap. “Man, close, but no cigar. We keep running like this, we’re going to get that mile-and-a-half win that’s been eluding us.” The trucks return to the track at Pocono Raceway on Aug. 4.

Military sponsorships get OK NASCAR teams will be able to seek sponsorship dollars from the military after all. The U.S. House voted last week to allow the sponsorships such as National Guard’s backing of Dale Earnhardt Jr. to continue. The sponsorships are intended to help with recruiting for the all-volunteer armed forces, but Rep. Jack Kingston, R-Ga., said in an e-mail letter to constituents that the spending is ineffective. Kingston and Betty McCollum, D-Minn., sponsored an amendment that would have eliminated $72.3 million for sports sponsorships. Kingston cited a study that showed that for its $26.5 million sponsorship, the Guard got 24,800 inquiries in fiscal year 2012, of which only 20 were qualified and none signed up. Kingston also pointed out that in a time when the branches of the service are reducing troop levels, the sponsorships are not necessary.

Points battle highlights Nationwide’s Brickyard debut

SPRINT CUP POINTS

The Nationwide Series points battle continues to deliver plenty of mid-season drama. The circuit’s champion is determined by a season-long points formula instead of the Chase format used in the Cup series, but the race is close nonetheless. With his victory at Chicagoland Speedway on Sunday, points leader Elliott Sadler extended his lead over his Richard Childress Racing teammate Austin Dillon to 11 points. And Ricky Stenhouse Jr., who dominated the race at Chicago but lost the lead late when he was caught in the pits by a caution flag and dropped to 10th place, is third, just 19 points out of the lead after rebounding to finish second. Dillon was sixth. Sadler, like Stenhouse a week before at New Hampshire, had to battle both his competitors and the flu bug throughout the weekend. “We were in the right place at the right time,” Sadler said in his winner’s interview. “Ricky had the strongest car all day, but we kept working at it and eventually got into the right position.” Sadler also collected a $100,000 Dash 4 Cash bonus from series sponsor Nationwide. The bonus, collected the week before by Dillon, is offered only to full-time Nationwide drivers. Dillon, a series rookie and the 22-year-old grandson of team owner Richard Childress, said on last week’s NASCAR teleconference that racing a teammate for a points championship has yet to pose problems. “We are a team here at RCR and we have been working together, sharing information, just like we have from the start,” Dillon said. “Some weeks Elliott is faster than I am and we might use his [chassis] setups; and some weeks, he might use our setups.” He said that the teams plan to continue helping each other. “Everybody is working together for one common goal,”

And it should. That’s how it’s going to be for the rest of the year, and we’ll fight it out as a team and drivers at the end of the year and see how it works out.” The Nationwide Series drivers will run the circuit’s first-ever visit to Indianapolis Motor Speedway this weekend. In previous years, the Nationwide and Camping World Truck Series raced at Indianapolis Raceway Park in nearby Clermont, Ind., when the Cup Series ran at the Brickyard. The Raceway Park races were some of the most competitive – and best-attended – races on the two circuits.

Greg Fenno Wins Action-Packed Wellie Yaple Memorial By Jay Pees

Contributing Writer

HAMMETT, Pa. — Wellie Yaple, one of the strongest supporters of racing in the history of Eriez Speedway, was remembered with the highest-paying Street Stock feature in this area Sunday night with Greg Fenno starting from the pole, slipping back to third early in the event, then regaining the lead one-third of the way through the event to score a decisive win in the race. In other featured action, Dave Hess Jr. won the Super Late Model feature for the 30th time in his career at Eriez, defeating Chub Frank and Andy Kania. Max Blair continued his winning ways in the FASTRAK Late Model feature with Joel Watson dominating the E-Mod feature. Jake Finnerty, 15 years old, who had been showing improvement all season long, broke into the Winner’s Circle with his first-ever feature win over 2011 champion Chris Ottaway. Wade Watson, Sportsmen, and Kasey Hammond, Challengers, continued their winning streaks. By virtue of winning the qualifying race two weeks ago, Greg Fenno started the Wellie Yaple Memorial from the pole with 1st heat winner

Jackson Humanic outside. The starting lineup for the Bonnell Collision Center Street Stocks was determined through four heats and two B-Mains with the top 10 in the Eriez point’s standings being guaranteed starting berths. The final two starting spots were the choice of Wellie Yaple’s family. The back straight was “Calamity Lane” on lap 1 when Ryan Blood got turned sideways and cars had to scatter. Blood, and John Phelps Jr. were banged up enough there to end their night. Fenno led the first lap then gave way to Gary Fisher, who had won the second qualifying heat. Caution at the end of two found Rush Firestone now in third next to Fenno for the restart. With five complete, four cars piled up coming out of turn four, eliminating B-Main winner David Baker from the event. Defending track champion Pat McGuire retired while running third on lap 8 due to mechanical woes. Fenno came back to the lead at lap 10, but Fisher stayed right with him for two more laps before Fenno pulled out to a three car-length lead. At halfway the running order was Fenno, Fisher, Rush Firestone, Chris Withers, and Joe Rohrer. Rohrer

moved to fourth at lap 17. At lap 24 Rohrer got inside Firestone coming into turn three but Firestone drove down into Rohrer. With Rohrer fighting back the two cars came up the track with Firestone coming to a halt against the outside wall. Under yellow, Firestone rammed the front of Rohrer’s car, resulting in Firestone being disqualified from the event. Rohrer was able to continue, restarting from the fourth position. Fenno went on to the richest Street Stock feature purse in Eriez Speedway history. Withers got by Fisher for second with Rohrer finishing fourth. Ken Lamp Jr. filled out the top five. Fenno’s win was worth $2,000 with Withers, the runner-up receiving $1,000. Former champion Andy Kania took the immediate lead from pole-sitter Dave Lyon in the Jay’s Auto Wrecking Super Late Model feature,

opening a big lead over Lyon and “Chubzilla” Chub Frank before the first caution. At lap 9 Chuck Parker spun his car in turn one, bringing caution over the speedway. Using the “Delaware” restart, Frank wasted no time dispatching Lyon to third and set sail for Kania. Again at lap 14 Parker spun, again in turn one, and again bunching the field. Dave Hess came to second at the green and was leading one lap later. Hess went on to the win, his third of the season. Frank got by Kania for second at lap 20 and went on to the runner-up spot. Kania held on for third over Rob Blair and Chris Hackett. It was Hess’s second win of the weekend with Frank right behind both nights. Bob Dorman and Max Blair led the Dan’s Rt 8 Boardwalk Bar & Grill FASTRAK Late Models to the green with Blair leading at the end of

lap 1. Kyle Zimmerman was second by the end of three and Chad Wright fourth behind Dorman, making the order the same as the current point standings. Wright came to third one lap after a lap 9 caution period. The order at the finish was Blair, Zimmerman, Wright, Dorman, and Ryan Scott. The Plyler Overhead Door E-Mod feature started with outside pole-sitter Joel Watson leading pole-sitter Scott Gurdak right from the start with Ron Davies, in a brand new mount, coming to second. Watson, currently second behind Rich Michael in points, and Davies began distancing themselves from third-running John Boyd, himself a former champion. By halfway, Boyd was starting to reel in the leaders as they ran side by side with Davies inside and Watson outside. Watson moved back to sole possession of the lead and had a five-car length advantage with five laps remaining. Everything changed at lap 17 when Steve Sornberger spun in turn one, putting Davies and Boyd right behind Watson for the single file restart. Boyd immediately got by Davies for second but Davies held on for third in front of Gurdak and Shane Crotty. It was Watson’s fourth win of the season and closes the gap

between him and the point’s leader Rich Michael Jr., who ran sixth in the race. Dan Maxim led Jake Finnerty at the start of the Conway & O’Malley Limited Late Model feature with Chris Ottaway coming to second after three laps. Ottaway, the 2011 champion, was able to get next to Maxim but was unable to complete the pass, trying both the low and the high lines. At the halfway point Ottaway went too wide in turn two, allowing Finnerty to regain second. At lap 13, Maxim suffered mechanical problems and retired to the pit. Finnerty, looking for his first win ever, drove a flawless final seven laps, gaining his first win at age 15 over Ottaway, Steve Kania, Chris McGuire, and Tyler Green. Wade Watson cruised to his seventh Gannon University Sportsmen feature win of the year over Don McGuire and Tim Card. Jim Kibbe was fourth with Brent Crandall fifth.

US Men Hold Off Argentina In Basketball Exhibition By Brian Mahoney Associated Press

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Dressed up like the Dream Team, this U.S. Olympic basketball squad even played like one for 10 minutes. It didn’t last, but the Americans never thought it would. Argentina came nearly all the way back before the U.S. held on for an 86-80 victory Sunday in an exhibition game. “We weren’t expecting to come out there and blow them out tonight,” U.S. forward Carmelo Anthony said. “We knew that they’re a team that doesn’t quit, despite what was going on or how much they get down or what’s the state of the game. We expected a game like this coming into it.” The Americans held on to win it thanks to big 3-pointers from Kevin Durant and Chris Paul, insisting the close game serves them better than the type of blowouts the Dream Team always posted. “I love it. You hate to breeze through exhibition games and then you get into London, and then you start getting competitive,” U.S. forward LeBron James said. “So we have a very good team. It doesn’t matter about how many points you win by, you just want to play well and get better that night, and I feel like we got better tonight.” Durant scored 27 points for the Americans, who wore the

said. The two games here should certainly help them get ready. The Americans play Spain on Tuesday, a rematch of their 118-107 win in the gold-medal game four years ago.

That’s going to be a problem for us. We have to fix that and then they hit a lot of shots. Obviously they’re capable of hitting shots.” A contender for a podium spot for nearly a decade, Argentina is hoping the run isn’t over for its “Golden Generation.” The Argentines didn’t medal in the 2010 worlds — though Ginobili didn’t play — and were beaten by Spain by 20 on Friday. Ginobili is 34, Scola and Andres Nocioni are 32, Knicks-bound guard Pablo Prigioni is 35, Fabricio Oberto no longer plays, and the Argentines haven’t found younger talent like they had in this group, which also won silver in the 2002 world basketball championship. But they don’t go down easily, even when the game doesn’t count. After James threw down two dunks to open the fourth quarter and push the U.S. lead to 15, the Argen-

Two Years Later, Deadly Earthquake Still Affects Haiti

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Four of Haiti’s five Olympians at the London Games have something in common — they’re not from Haiti. With millions of Haitians living on $2 a day or less and hundreds of thousands of people rendered homeless by a devastating earthquake two years ago, the country struggles to produce world-class athletes. But those with Haitian links are still eager to represent the small Caribbean country. `Ì still feel Haitian even if I wasn’t born there,’’ 21-year-old sprinter Marlena Wesh said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. Wesh, who will run in the 200 and 400-meter races at the Olympics, grew up in Virginia and is a senior at Clemson University. Her parents are from Haiti. Besides having family ties to Haiti, the four foreign-born Olympians will be competing in track and field, including the former college roommate of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. Samyr Laine, a 28-year-old triple jumper, is from New York and roomed with Zuckerberg at Harvard. He was the 14th person to sign up for Zuckerberg’s social networking site. Laine recently graduated from Georgetown Law School but hopes to use the attention generated by the Olympics to form a nonprofit group called the Jump for Haiti Foundation, a sports program that would try to produce future Olympic athletes from the country through camps and clinics. The goal is to have future teams made up of athletes who were born and raised in Haiti. Laine said he plans to call on his friends, including his roommate-turned-billionaire, to donate a few dollars. `Ì hope they see the merits of my cause,’’ Laine said. `Ì will definitely try to reach out to Mark as well.’’ Moise Joseph, a 30-year-old 800-meter runner, and Jeffrey Julmis, a 28-year-old 100-meter hurdler, are also in the team. Haiti’s lone homegrown Olympian is Linouse Desravine, a

tines got it back to 10 midway through the period after Ginobili scored five straight points, and they had one more burst in them. But Durant followed Ginobili’s three-point play with a 3-pointer, and Paul’s 3 with 2:08 remaining made it an eight-point game, plenty of cushion for the last 2 minutes. “At the end of the day, as

21-year-old judoka. There’s nothing unusual about athletes from multiethnic nations like the United States or Britain representing other countries. But what may be surprising to some is that Haiti, which seems to lurch from one calamity to another, is being represented in London at all. The country does pose unusual challenges for athletes. Three of the country’s five competitive running tracks are home to thousands of people in tents and shanties who were displaced by the January 2010 earthquake. The office of the Haitian Olympic Committee overlooks a hillside shantytown and has a budget of only $400,000. The U.S. Olympic Committee’s budget is about $170 million. `Òur daily struggle in the Olympic committee here is finding funds,’’ said Alain Jean-Pierre, the body’s secretary general. Haiti first competed at the 1900 Paris Olympics, and won its first medal in the same city at the 1924 Games when it took bronze in the team rifle competition. The country’s only individual medal was a silver won by Silvio Cator in the men’s long jump at the 1928 Amsterdam Olympics. Cator today is remembered with pride and the national stadium in downtown Port-auPrince is named after him. Another notable Olympian from Haiti was marathon runner Dieudonne Lamothe, the first from his country to compete in four Olympics. More medals in London will be tough. `Ì don’t think so but I think we’ll have two athletes in the finals,’’ Jean-Pierre said. Frederic Charles, a 29-year-old computer technician and the half brother of Olympic runner Joseph, will be among those watching and waiting for Haiti to succeed. Charles once lived in one of the hundred displacement camps but recently moved into a studio in Port-au-Prince. Above a collection of old desktop computers, the four walls bear posters of a uniform-wearing Joseph sprinting in races. ``He’s running for Haiti,’’ Charles said, ``so that someone can think about Haiti.’’

long as you win the basketball game. That’s what we were talking about at halftime,” Anthony said. “We try to come out and put teams away right away, and sometimes it’s not going to be that way, like tonight. It just wasn’t one of those games.”

Buffalo Bills 2012 Training Camp Preview By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

Entering the third year of the Chan Gailey and Buddy Nix era, the Buffalo Bills have done plenty to raise the expectations of their fan base heading into the preseason. As Gailey mentioned to the public recently, the Bills roster is “not even close” to what it was just two years ago. Part of that may be from key g free agent acquisitions of Maaw rio Williams and Mark Anat derson, bolstering an incredibly lackluster defensive line since Aaron Schobel retired. ut Part of it may also have to do with the amount of high-end s first round picks Buffalo has r received lately. But, most importantly, peraiti, haps it’s been the talent evalune ation of Nix and the advanced coaching of Gailey that has . suddenly raised the overall ual talent level of the Buffalo Bills. e Whatever it’s been, the Bills - enter 2012 with arguably e to their highest expectations in anda decade. While the Bills still haven’t finished .500 or better since 2004 and haven’t made ian the playoffs since 1999, Bufoks falo is a popular pick among s national pundits to surprise The the league and make the ud- playoffs. But for that to happen, the Bills will need to answer several questions heading to training camp, which starts tary this Thursday in Pittsford, N.Y. at St. John Fisher College. 900 How will the defense adapt to the 4-3? t Buffalo made the switch to the k 3-4 in Gailey’s first year at the pe- helm. In two ill-fated years, the Bills finished 28th and al 30th in the league in points lvio allowed and 24th and 26th in p at yards allowed. pics. So, Buffalo fired George Edwards and promoted Dave Wannstedt, the linebackers au- coach in 2011. Wannstedt, a friend of Gailey’s, has a long resume with defensive coorn- dinator stints in Dallas and e Miami and head coaching gigs m- in Chicago and Miami. His impressive résumé gives be some Bills fans hope he can turn it around, but any realistic chance of a turnaround rests upon the players. And if you haven’t watched the Bills over the past two years, let’s old just say they’ve been severely e lacking in NFL-caliber talent. ner Newcomers Williams and Aniti derson should help improve a pass rush that finished 27th in sacks. But that number is the inflated considering they had ps nearly have of them in one udiogame against Washington. olut- If they can stay healthy, Kyle rs Williams and Shawne Merh riman should also play a key role in helping the line. Kyle Williams was a pro bowler in 2009 and 2010. Merriman was one from 2005-07.

The Bills are also expecting big things from second-year tackle Marcell Dareus, who might just flourish with the surrounding talent. Chris Kelsay is also back to his natural position of a run-stopping defensive end. In the secondary, Buffalo appears to have an instant game changer in South Carolina cornerback Stephon Gilmore. The Bills can also rely on second-year corner Aaron Williams to challenge Leodis McKelvin and Terrence McGee for a starting job. Safeties Jairus Byrd and George Wilson provide one of the better back-end tandems in the league. So yes, the defensive line might be solid after the switch, and the secondary looks fine, but that leads us to… Who plays linebacker? One quick look at the linebacking core is one quick reason to discount the Bills this year. While their pass rush should be improved, Buffalo has some serious question marks in the middle. Kelvin Sheppard was a solid find in the third round last year, but how he reacts to playing alone in the middle will go a long way to finding out if Buffalo can win. If he can’t produce, the Bills might have to rely on rookie Tank Carder. Outside, then, is full of veterans. Nick Barnett and Kirk Morrison are the likely starters, but you can’t say that would scare a single team in the league. The hope here is to find a gem in either Carder or Nigel Bradham, or see a breakthrough from Arthur Moats or Chris White. Can the oﬀensive line hold up? The long-beleaguered Bills line shut some people up last year. They allowed the fewest sacks in the league at 23 and was at one point paving the way for the league’s leading rusher in Fred Jackson. But, Jackson got hurt. So too did Eric Wood and Demetrius Bell. The Bills were shifting guys all over down the stretch, including playing Kraig Urbik and Andy Levitre out of position at center. You didn’t need to be a scout to notice Buffalo’s line struggling mightily as the season dwindled on. Not surprisingly, Buffalo fell apart down the stretch. Buffalo let Bell walk and plans to start his injury replacement Chris Hairston at the blind side. Tall order for a second year guy. Besides that, the line is figured out for the most part, though. Levitre (left guard) and Wood (center) are pro bowl caliber players. Erik Pears (right tackle) and Urbik (right guard) proved to be quality,

durable players. At this point, the battle is at left tackle between Hairston and second round pick Cordy Glenn, who many pegged as a first rounder. A stockpile of rookies including Mark Asper will have a fair shot to offer Buffalo some sorely-needed depth. No. 2 Wide Receiver? Don’t ask me if Stevie Johnson is a No. 1 because the numbers are there to back it up. But, Buffalo’s offense clearly lacked a vertical threat to stretch opposing defenses last year. When Donald Jones went out with an injury after Week 5 and again after Week 10, Buffalo had no space to operate and saw the offense implode. Sorely needing a deep threat, Buffalo selected speedster T.J. Graham out of N.C. State in the third round. Graham, along with Jones and Marcus Easley, a player in his third year who has yet to step on the field, offer quite a battle opposite Johnson. David Nelson will remain the slot. Who backs up Fitzpatrick? Most people around the country think Buffalo can’t win because of their quarterback. Say what you want about Fitzpatrick, but he was playing at an MVP-type level through the first half of the season. And he even though he came back down to earth a bit, he was injured in the Washington game. Plus, the Bills don’t necessarily need him to be the guy he was at the start of last season. He just needs to be much better than the secondhalf version of himself. But, who knows? If Fitzpatrick isn’t the answer, or heaven forbid gets injured, the Bills season probably goes down the drain. That is unless Vince Young can revive his career. Most people would agree last year’s backup Tyler Thigpen is a nice guy to have around because he knows the system, knows Gailey and seems like an allaround good guy. But, everyone saw him throw the football, too. Young offers some upside, though. Unless Young is completely incompetent in camp,

he’ll probably win the job, likely cutting Thigpen while the Bills keep the versatile Brad Smith as their No. 3 guy. PROJECTING THE 53MAN ROSTER QB (3): Ryan Fitzpatrick, Vince Young, Brad Smith.

Walleye Fishing Slows A Bit By Steve Peacock Star Outdoors Writer

This was the first time in several weeks that the walleye fishing was not better than the week before. Last Saturday was the battle of the points, a one-day walleye fishing contest between Sturgeon Point and Fox’s Point. Most people have heard of Sturgeon Point in Erie County,

but far less people know where Fox’s Point is. Well, Fox’s Point is the first point east of the Cattaraugus Creek. It used to be more of a landmark from the water because of an old pump house that used to be perched on the cliff. So basically the battle of the points is Sturgeon Point against the boats from the Cattaraugus Creek. Sturgeon Point won this year and I hear that the fishing near Sunset

Bay was not as good as it had been in previous weeks. My friends and I went out of Sunset Bay on Sunday and we caught some walleyes, but the bite was off. I heard that the fishing on Sunday was slow near Sturgeon Point as well. On Tuesday I was able to go fishing on one of the many charter boats based at the Dunkirk harbor. The boat I was on is named “MOJO” (www.mojosportfishingexperience.

geon Point. Live minnows fished just off the bottom is the top method 9 out of 10 times, but watch your graph for feeding perch schools, suspended off the bottom. Bass reports have been few and far between during the summer heat. Most catches are coming from 15-30 foot depths off Battery Point, Van Buren Bay, Meyers Reef, Evans Bar, and any other rocky outcropping. Tube jigs remain a good bet in shallower depths, but drop shot rigs with live minnows, crayfish, tube jigs or other plastics are better bets at deeper depths. July and August are the best months to target lake trout in Lake Erie. Head for prime depths of over 90 feet deep, northwest of Dunkirk to the PA border. Downriggers with spoons run near the bottom is a very productive method, although lakers may also be suspended. Chautauqua Lake Muskellunge action has been fair this past week. Due to surface temperatures in the upper 70s, it is recom-

mended that anglers limit their musky fishing to the shallower waters of the south basin or along weedlines in the north basin. Fighting a musky up to the surface from deeper water (20-plus feet) could be lethal to the fish. It is also recommended that anglers avoid fishing for musky in the late afternoon. Bass catches are common along weedlines or in open pockets within the weed beds. Productive methods include fishing with live bait (minnows, crayfish, leeches) outside the weed edge, dropping plastics or tube jigs in open pockets and retrieving weedless or topwater baits over submerged weeds. Upper Niagara River Smallmouth bass are available throughout the upper river. Concentrate on areas outside weed edges in 10-20 FOW. Drifting with a three-way bottom bouncing rig and live crayfish works well. Anglers can target muskellunge by drifting on the outside of weed edges with large 8-10 inch tube jigs.

com) and it was a great day of fishing. One of the things that impressed me was how several of the charter boat stuck together and exchanged information regarding what colors were working at what depth and so on. Take it from a guy who fishes often, “those guys know how to catch fish.” Fishing out of the Dunkirk is interesting to me because it is not my home water and it gets deeper, faster

than I’m used to. We motored out to 120 feet of water before we even started fishing. I would probably fish there more often if we weren’t being successful fight in our home waters. It’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve heard from any of the perch fishermen. I’m going to try to track down someone who has been perch fishing this weekend. So, next week I should have a better report on the perch fishing.

Either side of Strawberry Island can be productive. Anglers catch a mix of black bass and panfish from Buffalo area shore sites. Live bait (minnows, crayfish and worms) is best. Tonawanda Creek/Erie Barge Canal Tonawanda Creek and the Erie Barge Canal are good places to catch smallmouth bass. Besides bass, anglers can catch a number of other warmwater species such as rock bass, bluegill, pumpkinseed, northern pike, bullhead and channel catfish. Downstream of Route 277, multiple municipal parks offer shore access to Tonawanda Creek. Upstream of the confluence with the Erie Canal, Tonawanda Creek is best fished from a canoe or kayak. There is plentiful shore access to the Erie Canal east of Lockport. Inland Trout Streams The recent heat wave has the area streams running low and clear. It is advised that anglers not target trout in the afternoon, when stream temperatures are elevated. Tricos are hatching

at first light, and are the go to patterns at that time. Terrestrials are also on the menu, especially when there are no mayfly or caddisfly hatches happening. Ant dry flies, foam beetles, grasshopper and cricket patterns can take fish. These patterns should be fished on a dead drift, with slight twitches every now and again to imitate a struggling insect. Spinning anglers do well with worms, salted minnows and small inline spinners. If you are a catch and release angler and use spinners, it is a good idea to outfit your spinners with a single hook rather than a treble hook.

The walleye bite remains very good on most days, with a couple days of lock-jaw mixed in. Sturgeon Point anglers continue to report consistent walleye catches along the international line in 60-62 feet of water. Minnow type stickbaits and worm harnesses run just off the bottom have worked well. Closer to Buffalo, anglers have located decent walleye action along the international line and around Seneca Shoal. Dunkirk and Barcelona anglers head to depths of 60-80 feet of water for good walleye catches on lures run 60-65 feet down. On Lake Erie, the minimum size for walleye is 15 inches with a daily creel limit of five walleye per angler. With so many anglers targeting walleye, few yellow perch reports have filtered in. The better catches have come from 60-65 foot depths, between Cattaraugus Creek and Stur-

I think he can win more than that.” Assuming he can get over this. Scott, who went into the final round with a four-stroke lead after three straight rounds in the 60s, got off to a wobbly start with two bogeys on the first three holes. But the breeze off the Irish Sea nonexistent through the first three rounds - blew everyone

else away. Everyone but Els, that is, a guy who hadn’t won in more than two years, a guy whose best golf seemed behind him. Els was the only one who mounted a charge, closing with a 2-under 68. But, let’s face it, that shouldn’t have been enough. This wasn’t so much a matter of one player winning as it was the other player losing. “I know I’ve let a really great chance slip through my fingers,” Scott conceded. “But

PENN STATE continued from pg 4 President Graham Spanier and athletic director Tim Curley. The Penn State investigation headed by former FBI Director Louis Freeh said school officials kept what they knew from police and other authorities for years, enabling the abuse to go on. There had been calls across the nation for Penn State to receive the “death penalty,” and Emmert had not ruled out that possibility as late as last week - though Penn State did not fit the criteria for it. That punishment is for teams that commit a major violation while already being sanctioned. “This case is obviously incredibly unprecedented in every aspect of it,” Emmert said, “as are these actions that we’re taking today.” Penn State football under Paterno was built on — and thrived upon — the premise that it did things the right way. That it was not a football factory where only wins and losses determined

success. Every major college football program tries to send that message, but Penn State built its brand on it. Paterno’s “Grand Experiment” was about winning with integrity, graduating players and sending men into the world ready to succeed in life, not just football. But he still won a lot — a record-setting 409 victories. The NCAA had never sanctioned, or seriously investigated Penn State. Few, if any, national powers could make that claim. Southern California, Ohio State, Alabama, all have run afoul of the NCAA. Even Notre Dame went on probation for two years after a booster lavished gifts on players in the 1990s. The harshest penalty handed down to a football program came in the ‘80s, when the NCAA shut down SMU’s team for a year. SMU football has never gotten back to the level of success it had before the “death penalty.”

somehow I’ll look back and take the positives from it. I don’t think I’ve ever played this well in a major championship, so that’s a good thing for me moving forward. All the stuff I’m doing is going in the right direction.” Scott appeared to wrap it up with a birdie at the 14th hole, restoring the four-stroke lead he had at the start of the day. Even when a shot into one of the 206 bunkers at Royal Lytham led to a bogey at the 15th, he still seemed in good shape. But when he missed a 3-footer at the 16th, there were some ominous groans from the gallery. And when Els, a couple of holes ahead, rolled in a 15-footer for birdie at the tough finishing hole,

Scott couldn’t miss the cheers from across the course. The lead was down to a single shot. “Yeah, I heard it,” Scott said. “I didn’t even have to look at the leaderboard to realize the situation.” He responded with a clutch tee shot at the 17th, right in the middle of the fairway, but the next swing is the one he’ll carry with him for a while. A 6-iron from 178 yards landed short of the green in waisthigh grass. He failed to convert the up-and-down. Just like that, the lead was gone. “Looking back on it, it all comes down to the shot into 17 for me,” Scott said. “That’s the one I’m most disap-

pointed with. At that point, I’m still well in control of the tournament.” In a sense, this was eerily reminiscent of Norman, who won two British Opens, but is best known for all the majors that got away — none more so than the 1996 Masters, when he squandered a sixshot lead by shooting 78 in the final round. “Greg was my hero when I was a kid, and I thought he was a great role model, how he handled himself in victory and defeat,” Scott said. “He set a good example for us. It’s tough ... I can’t justify anything that I’ve done out there. I didn’t finish the tournament well today. But next time — and I’m sure there will be a

next time — I can do a better job of it.” For now, the pain is too deep to just put it aside and get on with the rest of his career. Scott doesn’t know how long it will take go away. He only hopes it will. “Well, it may not have sunk in yet, so I don’t know,” Scott said ruefully. “Hopefully I can let it go really quick and get on with what I plan to do next week and get ready for my next tournament. We’ll see. I don’t know, I’ve never really been in this position, so I’ll have to wait and see how I feel when I wake up tomorrow.”

GOLDEN’S STAFF BROKE RECRUITING RULES continued from pg 4 that “someone who had a low level position at one time” was expected to allege that Miami assistant coach and former NFL player Micheal Barrow committed recruiting violations. Shalala said it has already been investigated. Some current players were listed as having contact with Allen during their recruiting process, including standout defensive lineman Anthony Chickillo, cornerback Thomas Finnie and incoming freshmen Randy “Duke” Johnson and Herb Waters. It’s unknown when the joint NCAA-university investigation will end, said the people who spoke to the AP on Friday. When the probe is over, Miami would first receive a notice of allegations, and then have the chance to appear before the NCAA’s infractions committee. Typically, when investigators visit a campus, they are either conducting interviews with

athletic department personnel, reviewing documents, or both. The NCAA generally does not provide status updates during their investigations, and university officials only have said they are continuing to cooperate with the terms of the inquiry. Earlier this week, safety RayRay Armstrong was dismissed for undisclosed rules violations. Armstrong was suspended for four games last year after acknowledging he took money from Shapiro and then missed another game while the school checked to see if he broke other rules after he interacted with a person who works with professional athletes. So nearly a year after the Hurricanes became wrapped up in an extra-benefits scandal — and with training camp fast approaching, along with ACC media days starting this weekend — Miami still has plenty of questions and very few answers.

“Who doesn’t want a clean slate? We get a fresh opportunity to do something new,” running back Mike James said earlier this summer when asked if the Hurricanes were eager to put the troubles of 2011 behind them. “Hey, I’m happy to see last year go. It’s gone. Let it go.” Miami could still face heavy sanctions from the NCAA over the scandal sparked by the allegations Shapiro in last year’s Yahoo Sports story. Eight Miami players missed at least one game as part of sanctions the NCAA imposed over Shapiro’s claims, and four others had to make small restitution payments. It was the first blow in an academic year filled with compliance-related issues. Men’s basketball was hit multiple times, first with the suspension of DeQuan Jones after he was linked to Shapiro — Jones was ultimately allowed to return to the team — and then suspensions of two other players. Reggie Johnson missed a game after the joint compliance investigation showed members of his family accepted “impermissible travel benefits” from a member of the school’s former coaching staff. And guard Durand Scott, the Hurricanes’ leading scorer, was suspended just before Miami’s ACC tournament game with Florida State after he was also found

to have gotten unspecified extra benefits. Even Miami’s nationally ranked women’s basketball team had problems, with star guard Riquna Williams suspended for violating team — not NCAA — rules just before the Hurricanes went to the NCAA tournament. Without Williams, Miami was ousted in the second round. But those matters pale to the ongoing inquiry into football, Miami’s centerpiece program with five national championships since 1983. And it’s long been clear that the uncertainty — what rules were broken and how tough will the penalties be — will linger into this coming season, just as it overshadowed every step of the 2011 campaign. “You’ve just got to go forward and put the past in the past,” Miami quarterback Stephen Morris said earlier this offseason. “Last year was rough for everybody, for every sport here. I’m sure everybody is just excited to move on.”

July 26, 2012 Edition – Sports Section – B

Insider By T.J. TOMASI BIRDIES AND BOGEYS

IT’S GOOD FOR YOUR GAME

TEEING OFF

It’s MillerMaltbie time

I record most golf tournament broadcasts so I can fast-forward through the ads and the boring parts, such as tap-ins and that rabble-rousing feature “the tournament summary.” But my strategy goes out the window when Johnny Miller is in the booth. When it’s Miller time, I can’t fast-forward because I’ll miss his commentary. It’s impossible to listen to Miller without learning something about the game. He can tell by the sound that a shot is bad before it even lands. And since he was the best player on the planet for three years or so in the mid’70s, he knows what it’s like playing under pressure. He also knows the golf swing — cold. But what I like most about Miller is that he has the guts to say what he thinks, so you don’t have to wade through the usual politically correct verbiage of announcers who simply tell you what you’re already looking at. Do you really need somebody saying, “The putt is now on its way, rolling to the hole”? Maybe on radio, but not TV. Only Brandel Chamblee comes close to Miller. Roger Maltbie is Miller’s on-course sidekick. In the early ’70s, I asked a friend of mine on the PGA Tour who he thought the next superstar would be. His answer was Roger Maltbie, so make no mistake, Maltbie could play the game. Maltbie has an enjoying-life sense of humor with an infectious laugh, and his wit is subtle, making him perfect for the cool medium of TV. Years ago when he was asked what a particular player needed to shoot to win a tournament, Maltbie deadpanned, “The rest of the field.”

How to build a swing from scratch If you’re playing bad golf, it’s probably not your fault. It’s not lack of talent that’s holding you back; it’s the fact that you’re “mismatched.” If there were only 10 people in the world who could play good golf, you could say it was a hard game, but there are thousands who play well, and they’re not all pros. The Scratch Players Group has 8,000 amateur scratch players in its database, and worldwide there are many more than that. So what do they know that you don’t? They know how to match their “swing string” to their ball flight, and in this fourpart series, I’ll teach you how to do this so you can build your game from scratch to scratch (a zero handicap). There are three “natural” strings of swing mechanics, all of which produce good golf, but each has a different ball flight — fade, draw or straight. Each string is made of the same building blocks: clubface position, ball position, foot flare, aim/ alignment, hip action, release pattern and pressure flow. The quality of your ball flight comes from the sequence you create — what is matched with what. Mutations that breed defective sequences occur when golfers tinker and break up good matchups they may not even know they had. As matches are lost, ball flight deteriorates, causing more tinkering until finally your swing is fractured and a Frankenstein is born. Once you decide the ball flight you want (straight, draw, fade), then simply put in place the matchup string you need. Understand that if you change one of the

components in the ABOUT THE WRITER string, you must Dr. T.J. change the others Tomasi is a teaching or your swing beprofessional comes unbalanced. in Port St. Lucie, Fla. Change four or five Visit his matchups, as a golfwebsite at er can do through tjtomasi.com. uninformed practice, and ball flight deteriorates. Former British Open champ Ian Baker Finch made himself mismatched by making changes without understanding the swing strings. So did Hal Sutton, Bob Tway, Seve Ballesteros and many others, and there is only so much room in the announcer’s booth. A swing string can also become unbalanced by overdoing or underdoing parts of the string. For example, you may choose the draw string, but if your clubface is too closed, you’ll need to speed up your hips and/or decrease the amount of forearm release. The point is that when you know your swing string, you simply adjust the parts of the whole you already have on board. It’s much like tuning a TV set: You toggle the brightness, then the tint, then the size of the screen, etc. until the experience is just as you like it. You’ll find that no matter which string you choose, once your swing string is installed, it’s low-maintenance. It’s much easier to tweak your string than to subject your swing to random tips or major swing overhauls every time something goes a bit wrong.

ASK THE PRO

Focus on target improves putting Q: I miss a lot of 4- and 5-footers. What can I do? — Carl, Lakeland, Fla. A: Not having the pleasure of seeing your stroke, I’m going to approach your question this way: It’s your first putt that needs work. You also mentioned in your email that you’re a 22 handicap, so you probably have a lot of 20-footers or more. Here’s a simple something that will help you two-putt: Always take your practice strokes while looking at the target. This gives your brain the information that links feel to force so you can hit the ball the right distance. (To Ask the Pro a question about golf, email him at: pblion@aol.com.)

What are the odds?

Online oddsmaker Bovada puts these odds on who will win The Open Championship 2012, as of this writing: Tiger Woods ................. 8/1 Lee Westwood ............ 14/1 Luke Donald1 ............... 4/1 Rory McIlroy .............. 16/1 Padraig Harrington ... 18/1 Francesco Molinari ... 30/1 Graeme McDowell ..... 30/1 Justin Rose ................. 30/1 Martin Kaymer .......... 33/1 Phil Mickelson ........... 33/1 Sergio Garcia ............. 33/1 My “far-out pick” is Aaron Baddeley at 80/1. My “best pick that’s not stupid” is Ernie Els at 40/1. Els has good history at this year’s venue, Royal Lytham. In 1996, he tied for second, and in 2001, he tied for third. Worldwide in 2012, Els has six top-10 finishes, so he’s on form. And even though it was years ago that he played the course, he knows Royal Lytham because it never changes — it has not had any renovations since 1922! If not Els, then why not Lee Westwood, who has the highest finishes so far in this year’s majors of any of the favorites. He tied for third at the Masters and tied for 10th at the U.S. Open. However, he is a bit off form, coming in tied for 40th at the Open de France, and Lytham in the wind (the Open forecast is for high winds and rain) is no place to be off form. Insider prediction: It won’t be easy, But when it’s breezy, Take the Big Easy. GOLF SPOKEN HERE

A Joe Pesci This is the end point of a draw string release. Note the lead elbow is pointing down and tucked close to the player’s chest wall. The clubface has turned over and is pointing at the ground. The right forearm is much higher than the left. If the rest of this golfer’s matchups are correct, he’ll play good golf.

This is the end point of a fade string release. The lead elbow is away from the chest and pointing toward the trees. The right forearm is lower than the left, in a held-off position to keep the face open. Over the years, Mark Calcavecchia has perfected the fade string and won himself millions. And he never deviates — as long as he can stand upright, he’ll just keep churning out that money-fade.

A mean, breaking, 5-foot putt inspired by Joe Pesci’s performance as a pyscho killer in “Goodfellas.”

EQUIPMENT

THE GOLF DOCTOR

It’s all in your head

Feed your muscles to maintain energy

Irons have two common head designs: non-offset, in which the leading edge of the clubface and the hosel are in line, and offset, in which the leading edge is behind the hosel. The first mitigates if you miss the ball too high and left, while the second helps if you miss right and low. The offset design has a lower center of gravity, which affects the trajectory, and because the

face is behind the shaft, it gives you more time to square the clubface. Generally speaking, it is not a good idea to mix offset and non-offset designs in your woods and irons. Insider takeaway: If you have trajectory problems and your basic golf swing checks out as pretty solid, consider changing your clubhead design instead of changing your swing.

Golf may not be as physically taxing as, say, full-court basketball, but if you don’t eat correctly before and during a round, you can feel too pooped to pop it before you’re done. Muscles move the body, and they need fuel to do it. Carbohydrates are the source of the energy used for muscle contraction, and they’re brought to the muscle through the blood supply in the form of glucose, which is stored in the muscle as glycogen. As your muscles require energy, glycogen is changed back into glucose (blood sugar) and you’re in business. If you feel tired in the middle of a round, it

may be due to a depletion of this energy source and the buildup of byproducts from the metabolic process, including lactic acid. If you’re feeling a little grumpy or even a bit faint, you probably have a temporary case of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). To keep your muscles fed, carry an apple, a banana or a batch of “nature’s candy” — raisins — with you when you play or practice. Or try packing a “Geiberger burger,” a peanut butter sandwich. The great Al Geiberger, aka Mr. 59, always had one on hand (and in hand) when he played.

SCIENCE SAYS

Weight transfer is a gradual process Study of the weight transfer in the golf swing has found that what happens after the initial transfer from the top of the swing may not support modern-day swing instruction. Russell Best and Kevin Ball, researchers at Victoria University in Melbourne, Australia, studied 40 golfers hitting a driver while standing on a force plate matt that measured weight transfer. The researchers claim their results show two major swing styles in the test population: a Front Foot style and a Reverse style. Both were similar from takeaway to early downswing, but after the initial weight shift to the front foot, the Front Foot group continued their weight flow into the front foot, while the Reverse group moved weight back toward the back foot. At impact, the Reverse group had 43 percent of their weight in their front foot and 57 percent in the back.

The Front Foot group had 76 percent in the front and 24 percent in the back. An interesting co-finding was that the Front Foot group’s weight was centered in the middle of both feet, while the Reverse groupstruck the ball with weight near the toes. Both weight-shift styles were distributed across all skill levels, from professionals to high-handicap golfers, indicating that neither style was the result of swing error. Insider takeaway: Keep in mind that weight transfer occurs over time, so it is more accurate to use the term “pressure flow,” indicating an incremental buildup of weight, not an instantaneous switch from back to front foot. But no matter the terminology, it appears that science says there are two styles of pressure flow, an interesting finding that demands more research.

Zack Carley and Craig Dean were on the front row for the restart. Two green flag laps were run then Matt Cobb and Lunger caused caution two. Lunger took exception to being sent to the pits for his involvement in the two cautions. Doug Ricotta took the lead from Carley just before the yellow flew for another multicar incident in turn two. Bruce Hordusky, Cody Mason and Garrett Stephen were among the cars involved. Ricotta, Carley, Steve Dixon, Brad Mesler and Chad Silleman were the restart leaders. Silleman and Mesler became entangled on the restart with both cars recovering but the yellow was out for the fourth time. Lap 4 was finally completed Ricotta out in front and Dixon second, but the green ended one lap later as Silleman and Mesler were stopped in turn two.

SANTO, LARKIN INDUCTED continued from pg 4

he thought somebody might take baseball from him if they found out. Even though he monitored his condition in warm-ups before games and never told his teammates about his daily injections, Santo excelled, compiling a .277 batting average, 2,254 hits, 1,331 RBIs and 365 doubles in 2,243 games. He also was a tireless fundraiser for juvenile diabetes, raising more than $65 million before his death. “He fought the good fight, and though he’s no longer here we need to find a cure for juvenile diabetes,” Vicki Santo said. “He felt he had been put here for that reason. He believed in his journey. He believed in his cause. We can’t let him down.” Santo fought more serious medical problems after he retired as a player. He underwent surgery on his eyes, heart and bladder after doctors discovered cancer. He also had surgery more than a dozen times on his legs before they were amputated below the knees — the right one in 2001 and the left a year later. “I want you to know that he loved you so much, and he would be grateful that you came here to share this with him,” Vicki Santo said to a sea of fans clad in blue and red. “Ron Santo believed it’s not what happens to you in life that people may judge, but how you handle what happens to you in your life.” Plenty of good things happened in Larkin’s life, and he delivered a litany of thankyous to the people who helped him along his journey. None were more important than his mom, Shirley, and father, Robert, who were seated in the first row. “If we were going to do something, we were going to do it right,” Larkin said. “Growing up, you challenged me. That was so instrumental.” Born and raised in Cincinnati, Larkin was a two-sport star at Moeller High School and thought he might become a pro football player after accepting a scholarship to play at Michigan for Bo Schembechler. That changed in a hurry. “He (Schembechler) redshirted me my freshman year and told me that he was going to allow me just to play baseball,”

Larkin said. “Occasionally, I’d call him while I was playing in the big leagues and told him that was the best decision he made as a football coach. He didn’t like that too much.” Drafted fourth by the Reds in 1985, despite playing just 41 games his first year Larkin finished seventh in the National League Rookie of the Year voting in 1986. Two years later, Larkin was an All-Star with a .296 average, 91 runs scored, 32 doubles and 40 stolen bases. And with a host of older players to guide him - Eric Davis, Ron Oester, Buddy Bell, player-manager Pete Rose, a Cincinnati native, slugger Tony Perez, and even star shortstop Dave Concepcion, the man he would replace — Larkin’s major league career quickly took off. “I played with some monumental figures in the game,” said Larkin, who was introduced to baseball by his dad at the age of 5. “They helped me through some very rough times as a player.” After giving special thanks in Spanish to the Latin players that also helped mold him, Larkin heaped special praise on Rose and Concepcion. “I wouldn’t be in the big leagues if it weren’t for Pete,” Larkin said, eliciting stirring applause from the fans, two of whom were holding a placard inscribed with “Cincinnati’s hometown heroes, Larkin and Rose.” “And Dave Concepcion, understanding that I was gunning for his job, understanding that I was from Cincinnati, he spent countless hours with me preparing me for the game,” Larkin said. “I idolized Davey Concepcion as a kid. Thank you, my idol. My inclusion in the Hall of Fame is the ultimate validation. I want to thank you all for helping me along the way.” Two inductees were honored Saturday in a ceremony at Doubleday Field. Former catcher Tim McCarver received the Ford C. Frick Award for his contributions in broadcasting, while Bob Elliott of the Toronto Sun was given the J.G. Taylor Spink Award for sports writing.
