The 37th Annual Busti Apple Festival Fun, Food and History
By Patricia Pihl Star Staff Writer
As festivalgoers enjoy the sights and sounds of the 37th annual Busti Apple Festival on Sunday, they might not know that they are taking part in preserving a part of local history. According to Norman Carlson, president and charter member of the Busti Historical Society, at least 25% of the proceeds from the event will go toward renovation of The Busti Mill, which has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1976. Built in 1839, Carlson said the mill continued operations into the 1950’s. Carlson said that structural renovations have been completed to the mill and the next phase will include work on the machinery. Restoring the waterpower, will involve much more, he says. In addition, a threephased high voltage wiring will be required. Other renovations, he says, will include resurfacing of the stones, and major modifications to the floor. Repairing or building the hopper and associated parts for input of the grain are also planned. Gristmills date back to the Middle Ages and were used to grind grains such as wheat, rye, oat and or barley into flour and meal. Some used the energy from water to operate the gears and the millstones. Many early water wheels were enclosed inside of the building or under roof for protection from winter’s snow and ice.
The 1839 historic Busti gristmill will be open for tours during the 37th Apple Festival on Sunday.
Most gristmills operated seasonally with the harvest, grinding grains individually for farmers and other individuals. Carlson said that because of inadequate water flow, the mill only operated six months out of the year. When finished, Carlson said that the mill will be able to produce corn meal, crude flour, pancake four and possible oats for animal grist.
Moreover, the renovations represent an important link and keepsake to the past. New Festival Features As well as new exhibits and tours of the gristmill, the festival will also have additional educational demonstrations this year including shingle making, flax breaking, blacksmithing, candle making, apple butter making, log hewing, leather work,
butter churning, quilting, knitting, spinning, and grain grinding. At 130 craft booths, handmade items including turned wood products, hand painted wooden holiday decorations, wooden chairs, candles, jewelry, ceramics, spices, baskets and placemats will be for sale.

#Commentary, @Smswise hearing a lot of feedback on how much that little column was missed, we’ve decided to begin writing it again. Beginning this week, you’ll find our commentary on Page 2 of the main section of the Chautauqua Star. While I work, I have several windows open on my Macbook Pro (running OS X 10.7 Lion, for those fellow Apple fans out there). I often switch between my email, iChat, my word processor and my Internet browser. By the way, for those of you who were lost at ‘several windows open,’ you should probably grab a technological dictionary. It’s only going to get worse. Being a fairly choleric individual, I tend to be predictable throughout much of my day, a pattern I’m quite content with. In my browser there are
Scott Wise Star News Editor
As many of you may remember (especially my mom and mother-in-law), before we took a break from the printed edition of the paper we used to have a weekly commentary, something each writer here took part and pride in. After
so, to say where it was. But the real-life effects weren’t known until the news crews could get into the damaged areas and share it. I went on Twitter and typed in ‘Irene.’ The feed was flooded with instant updates from folks in the midst of the storm, real people who were experiencing the torrential rains, winds and flooding. People were posting pictures, retweeting and tagging. Within minutes of landfall, one could gather a detailed account of what was happening. This blew my mind. Absolutely threw me. The technological world of social networking had finally surpassed any warning system, any news site for me. On Monday, Netflix announced that they would be changing the name of their
believer that prayer changes things. Although I’ve rattled on for a bit now, the main purpose of this column wasn’t to talk about the news, as important as it is. The latter two tabs I have open constantly are Facebook and Twitter. Although many of us have heard of these social networking world-changers, up until recently I never understood the hype of Twitter. It was actually our sports editor, Chris Winkler, who showed me what it can really do and it’s been an integral part of my life since then. I have seen that social networking has changed the world, as we know it, even just in my short life span. When Hurricane Irene was terrorizing much of the East Coast, the news sites did an update maybe every hour or
typically three tabs open, one of which is FoxNews.com. As far as Fox, I’m a junkie for all things news. It happens to be my favorite news source, and yes, it’s part of my job, but I like to be in the know. It started back in 2005. I was a freshman in college and had lived on campus for about a week and a half. I was talking to my mom and she said, “You need to pray for the people down in New Orleans.” I asked why, and dumbfounded she replied, “You really don’t know what’s going on there? A hurricane wiped out most of the city! Homes are ruined, and people are dying. How did you not know about it?” From that point on, I determined to know what was going on in the world as much as technology would allow. More than just to make conversation, but I’m a firm
DVD mailing services to ‘Qwikster.’ Within hours, a young man with an account focused on girls, sports and working out was suddenly a celebrity, with offers in the thousands of dollars for his screen name, simply because he had picked up the nickname ‘Qwikster’ at some point in his life. The world is changing. There’s no doubt about it. People close to me know that I often have to work to exercise patience with those less than secure in their ‘technologicality.’ If you’re someone who has been afraid to learn, don’t be! Once you start, it’ll only get easier. Take a class at one of our local libraries, or employ a tutor. The computer, the Internet and social networking are never going to go away, but only become a more integral part of our daily lives.

Blue & Gray 2011: Civil War Commemoration and Encampment Contributed Article Fenton History Center
Commemorating the 150th Anniversary of the Start of the Civil War Joni Blackman, Fenton History Center Director The Fenton History Center’s annual Civil War encampment day, Blue & Gray, will have an added ceremony this year. To commemorate our local boot camp, Camp Brown, and the start of the Civil War, a wreath of remembrance will be placed on Saturday Sept. 24 at 9 a.m. The Camp’s marker is located at the corner of Brown and Prospect Sts. in Jamestown. Jamestown Mayor Sam Teresi and re-enactors from the 9th Cavalry NY Volunteers and the 155th Infantry NY Volunteers will lead the ceremony. How Camp Brown Came to Be In the summer of 1862 President Lincoln called for 300,000 volunteers from the Governors of the Union States. New York was ordered by the War Department to raise 28 new Regiments. On July 7, 1862 New York Governor Edwin D. Morgan asked the men of the State to form units in the field as soon as possible using the already
established Senatorial districts as the guidelines. Answering the call, the people of western New York set to work to meet the challenge. Chautauqua County was called upon for a thousand men. New York State offered a $50 dollar bounty to any volunteer that answered the call. This $50 was in addition to a $100 dollar bounty offered by the Federal Government. The work of recruiting a Regiment from Chautauqua County New York was met with vigor. War meetings were held throughout the county. A Military Committee of the most energetic and respected men was appointed and it was resolved to raise one new regiment in the district. The Honorable Augustus F. Allen of Jamestown, the committee chairman, was designated Colonel and Commandant of the District Military Depot. The committee members were from Chautauqua and Cattaraugus Counties. They were George W. Patterson, John G. Hinckley, Milton Smith, John F. Phelps, Charles Kennedy, H.C. Young, J.P. Darling, Addison G. Rice (named first Colonel of the 154th New York), D.E. Sill and J.C. Devereaux. Jamestown was designated as the place where the new regiment was to be formed.
Chautauqua County would contribute six companies and neighboring Cattaraugus County four. Every man who could influence others was set to work. In some cases a subscription was offered to those who volunteered. Ten dollars paid to some, in other cases, several thousand dollars raised and paid out. At the meetings, watches, diamond rings and pictures were sold and contributed to the funds. In many villages businesses were closed early and the men and women attended war meetings. On August 14, 1862 the Military Committee was determined to raise two new regiments, one from each county. New York State announced in early Sept. that the State bounty of $50 dollars would cease on Sept. 6. Men, who had been delaying volunteering or were not sure of the call, became aware of the impending draft and loss of the State bounty. Many felt three years was too long, but found themselves facing a draft and all felt the volunteer regiments would be treated much better than Regular Army drafted regiments. The regiments were raised by
early Sept.. The Chautauqua Regiment was raised, plus two full Companies (E&F) assigned to the Cattaraugus Regiment, the 154th NY, plus an extra Company of Sharpshooters, designated the 7th Company, New York State Sharpshooters. The Military Committee led by Colonel Augustus Allen, had to appoint a Colonel for the Regiment because Colonel Allen was not physically able and could not leave his business. The POST JOURNAL in an article in August 1862 stated, “We have raised a splendid Regiment, and now let us have men worthy to command them. And of all curses do keep out political favorites and party hacks.” They decided to review names of men with military experience, and the names of Maj. William Stevens of Dunkirk, Maj. Patrick Jones of Ellicottville, and Captain Jeremiah Drake of Westfield were the list of men the committee reviewed. It was resolved the 112th Regiment would be led by Maj. William Stevens from Dunkirk, NY. of the 72nd NY. He declined, feeling he belonged to the regiment with which he was already linked. Having failed to secure Maj. Stevens, and Maj. Patrick Jones of the 37th NY from Cattaraugus County, and soon to be Colonel of the 154th NY, all eyes were now fixed on Capt. Jeremiah Drake of the 49th NY, a former Baptist minister, who served the ministry in Panama, NY for 4 years and Westfield, NY for 3 years. At the committee
meeting of August 14, he was elected Colonel. Soon after resigning his commission in the 49th, he returned to the County to assume command of the 112th. Colonel Drake did not reach the regiment until Sept. 2nd. As early Sept. wore on, the regiment was formed and it was barracked at the Agricultural Fair Grounds about one mile South of Jamestown. The camp was called Camp Brown, in honor of Colonel James M. Brown of the 100th NY. James M. Brown, formerly a Jamestown attorney who raised a company in Jamestown after President Lincoln’s first call for men in May of 1861. This was Co. B in the 72nd NY (the famed Excelsior Brigade) where he was a Captain. Later in November 1861 he was commissioned a Colonel in the 100th NY and led them into their first fight at Fair Oaks, Virginia May 31, 1862. He was killed leading his men into that battle and his body was never recovered from the field. Camp Brown was on the property of a fallen young soldier Sgt. James Hall of the 72nd NY who fell at Malvern Hill. Some 2100 men of the 112th, and 154th New York Regiments, and the 7th Co. NYSS were in camp in hopes to drill the men into fighting units. But orders came to the 112th Regiment and 7th NY Sharpshooters to be forwarded to Washington immediately. So on Sept. 11, it was mustered as a Regiment, and on the 12th marched to the
depot of the Atlantic & Great Western Railroad for the trip south. As the men were organized to leave Jamestown from Camp Brown, a large crowd assembled and the men, sang the “Star Spangled Banner”. As they marched to the railroad for the trip south, they sang “John Brown’s Body” as a marching song to the tune of Battle Hymn of the Republic. After the speeches and eloquent remarks, the men pledged to never desert their colors. They embarked the railcars, and amid the sobs and tears of mothers, wives, children and friends, the 112th New York Volunteer Infantry went to war. [History of the 112th NYV from www.112thnyvi.com and Joel Babcock] Community Invited to meet Re-enactors Following the ceremony at 10 AM the re-enactors will open the encampment in Fenton Park at the Fenton History Center. They will be on hand until 4 PM to explain their equipment and uniforms. “This is a great way to learn our local history. The local boot camp for Jamestown, Camp Brown, was located very near Fletcher Elementary School. Soldiers were housed there for a month or so before they went off to war in 1861. I encourage anyone who has an interest in the Civil War or history to stop down and check out the encampment,” says Joni Blackman, Director. The event is free to the public.
Prendergast To Feature Beadwork, Cards By County Artist Contributed Article Prendergast Library
The Prendergast Library will feature beadwork and artwork by Beverly Schmidt of Cassadaga through Sept. 30 in display cases in the main reading room. Ms. Schmidt has been beading since 1994, when she learned the rudiments of Native American beading. She generally makes necklaces, which take between 25 and 35 hours apiece to complete, depending on their size and complexity. She describes her work as pictorial beadwork worked with tiny seed beads in a manner reminiscent of mosaic. The designs are all her own. “The smallest increment of the design cannot exceed the size of a bead, and the larger increments must be a multiple of that size. For this reason,
the designs must be rather simple, and it is important to get it right on the first try because ripping it out and redoing it is a lengthy nightmare,” she said. Each bead is double hand stitched to the base. She covers the back of each piece with leatherette in a complementary color, and she uses precious and semi-precious stones and shells in the loops she attaches at the bottom. Except for beadwork and sewing, all the techniques used to create the items on display are self-taught, including the craft items in the photos on her cards and the photography itself. For the note cards, she uses many techniques including Pergamano (South American handmade paper lace), quilling (paper filigree done with narrow strips of paper), and tea bag folding (similar to origami). Some incorporate
iris folding, which resembles the leaves in the shutter of an old-style camera. Supplies include recycled linings of security envelopes. “Some of the cards take hours to complete. Each is an individual work of art and couldn’t possibly be massproduced,” she said. The iridescent paintings on the cards are her original work. Some cards are embellished with a technique known as lattice cutting and folding, which resembles a trellis. “I have many fancy punches and scissors which I select to harmonize with the theme. For example, I used a punch resembling waves with a photo of the Dunkirk Pier,” she said. There are no words on the front of the cards so they can be framed as works of art. Ms. Schmidt is a lifelong resi-
dent of Chautauqua County. She grew up in a creative household with a mother who taught elementary art and a father who taught industrial arts. “My two major interests in high school were art and marine biology. I chose biology for continued study, but as the years passed, whenever I’ve seen something beautiful and creative, I’ve had to try it,” she said. Ms. Schmidt’s beadwork and cards are on display on the main floor of the library near the front door during regular library hours, which are 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday; 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesdays; and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays. Prendergast Library is located at 509 Cherry St., Jamestown. For more information, call 484-7135, Ext. 225.

“Crusaders” For Autism
5
Step Up for Autism Walk This Saturday at The Resource Center By Patricia Pihl Star Staff Writer With contributions by The Resource Center
Andrew Lockwood is a 2010 graduate of Jamestown Community College. The 22-year old is also the author of a science fiction/fantasy novel. He volunteers at the Jamestown Audubon Society and Randolph Nursing Home. Along with his “passion for books,” his hobbies include swimming and horseback riding at Centaur Stride in Westfield. Andrew Lockwood also has autism. Diagnosed at age 12, his mother Julie McCarthy and his support specialist, Linda Nagel characterize Andrew as a “pioneer,” paving the way for others with autism spectrum disorder. Lockwood is also involved in The Resource Center’s SUCCESS Program, (which stands for Supporting, Understanding, Changing, Coping, and Everyday Social Skills), a program that helps children and young adults with autism learn social skills to enable them to better interact with the world around them. Nagel said initially Andrew didn’t want to try new things—a characteristic of ASD. However, she adds, “With a little push, he was fine.” She adds that he recently worked with a teen author from his hometown of Conewango Valley, to find out how to get his book published. He also has enjoyed a stay at Camp Onyasa. McCarthy said her son’s social world has gotten larger; before, she says, “He just wanted to stay in his bedroom.” To a large extent, she credits the SUCCESS
program and the help she and her son have received to TRC. “They’ve been fantastic, she says.” In the last ten years since his diagnosis, McCarthy believes so much has changed as information, treatment and screening of autism have increased. A common misconception about autism is that all those affected by the condition are non-verbal. As Andrew’s mother counters, and as he demonstrates, Andrew is “very verbal.” Although he characterizes the changes in himself as “subtle,” he says that after one year in the SUCCESS Program, he has “made new friends, met people with conditions like his - and some which are drastically different.” Lockwood’s mother said that although he did fine academically, she knew something was “different” about Andrew. After the diagnosis, he simply told his mother, “So now we know what it is; I’m still me.” At the time, McCarthy said “we felt there was no one else out there; he’s has been paving the way for young kids with
autism today.” Andrew’s Mom is part of the Parent For Parent Support Group, which meets once a month to address the many challenges facing families with autism. She explains her passion this way: “the more committed you are to your child the better.” Second annual Step Up for Autism Walk With The Resource Center and TRC Foundation, McCarthy and other parents have also been instrumental in planning the second annual “Step up for Autism Fun Walk.” The walk will begin and end at The Resource Center’s Administrative Offices at 200

Everyone Has a Story
By Mallory Diefenbach
Earthquake on the Other Side of the World
Star News Writer
February 22 marked the second day of classes at Canterbury University in New Zealand. American exchange student Corrie Dalimus, then 20-year-old pre-law philosophy major from St. Bonaventure University, had just finished her War and Society in Europe class. She was heading back to her apartment due to the large break between her two courses. At 12:51 p.m. Dalimus heard an unfamiliar noise. “…You know when you throw a bed sheet up and it makes a phwoot [sound]? How its distant and then it gets louder?” Dalimus said as she tried to describe the sound she heard that afternoon. After she heard the foreign sound, she noticed the building adjacent to her starting to tremble. She watched in confusion until it began to shake more violently; it was then she realized she was right in the middle of an earthquake. Dalimus is from the small farm town of Burlington Flats near Cooperstown in Otsego County. Like many New Yorkers up until recently, she had never experienced an earthquake prior to that date. As a result, she was completely
unsure what to do in the situation she now found herself in. As the ground beneath her feet trembled, she found herself watching a young woman nearby scream and drop her books as she ran into the center of the street. Another male joined the girl in the middle of the road. “I didn’t know if I should follow what her and that guy were doing,” said Dalimus. “Because I didn’t know if they were from there or if they were exchange students like me. …I waited for a couple of seconds, and I kind of moseyed on over to the middle.” Dalimus explained that
students were taught everything about New Zealand including what to do during an aftershock. However, they were never taught what to do if caught outside during an aftershock or earthquake. Dalimus assumed they must have thought it was common sense. However, Dalimus raised the point being from New York she was unfamiliar with common procedure during an earthquake. “I didn’t know what to do,” she said simply. Aftershocks continued in constant intervals throughout the day and for days afterwards, keeping everybody on edge. Dalimus listened to the
radio with others to get news on what was going on. During this time she learned about the damages which Canterbury and nearby Christchurch were suffering. The cathedral in Christchurch had collapsed and everything had closed down except a small dairy. Dalimus described the traffic out of a city being at a standstill as everyone was trying to evacuate. Electricity and the internet were no longer in use, and a ban on water had been issued which lasted three days. This lead to a mass run for bottled war and other supplies. Dalimus described the supermarket shelves being barren where water had once been.
In the following days, Canterbury University closed down its classes and wouldn’t resume again until March 14. Even after classes resumed, Dalimus described having some of her classes in tents. During the break from college life, Dalimus volunteered with the Student Army to help clean up the mess the earthquake had left in its wake. “There was this woman who had severe water damage and we had to move all her antique furniture out,” said Dalimus as she gave an example of one of the residents who she helped while in the Student Army. “I mean like beautiful, beautiful tables. Her
great-grandmother [had given her] tables, [and] she had to move [them] out; it was ruined. Thousands of dollars in furniture just ruined.” Friends from neighboring apartments and from the city came to stay with her and her roommates in the days following the earthquake until they could safety return to their own homes. Despite the stress, Dalimus said it brought everybody closer together. It’s as the common Sicilian proverb goes; “To recognize a real friend, you have to together eaten three bushels of salt.”

Chamber to Present Awards
Strickler, SUNY Fredonia Technology Incubator Honored
The Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce will present its Person of the Year Award to Kenneth Strickler of Jamestown, and its Economic Development Award to SUNY Fredonia and its Technology Incubator, during its annual Awards Banquet October 6. A native of the Pittsburgh area, Ken Strickler owned and operated an office equipment company with offices in Jamestown, Dunkirk, and Warren, for many years. In the mid 1970’s he joined Bankers Trust Company of Western New York and was later employed by Chase Lincoln First Bank. Most recently, he has been Director and Chairman of the Board of the Jamestown Savings Bank.
Mr. Strickler has been actively involved in the community in many ways having been a past president of the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation, and the Jamestown Area Chamber of Commerce. He was Chairman of the United Way of Southern Chautauqua County campaign, Co-Chair of the Lakewood Memorial Library Building Fund, and Trustee and Chairman of Investment Committee of Fredonia State College Foundation. He is a member of the Jamestown Rotary Club and First Presbyterian Church. SUNY Fredonia and the Technology Incubator have had a significant impact on our local and regional economy. During its 2009-10 year the
University generated over $370-million in economic activity in Chautauqua County, and its 5,700 students spend over $43-million in our local communities annually. The Incubator, located in downtown Dunkirk, represents a further reach into the community to support entrepreneurial endeavors. Chamber President/CEO Todd Tranum said, “Under the leadership of Dr. Denis Hefner, the University has made significant strides to reach into the community. The incubator has created a platform from which new local technology based businesses can launch. Importantly, the incubator has created an opportunity to keep young people in our communi-

You Auto Know
Richard White, General Manager of Jim White’s Truck and Auto Center, shares his automotive expertise from a lifetime spent in the auto industry. What I know sitting on the opposite side of the desk, you auto know… And now to squeeze the last bit of juice out about Lemon Law and your purchase of a used vehicle… The New York State Lemon Law is intended to protect consumers from purchasing a trouble prone vehicle or one that may be determined to be a “lemon.” I recommend the following prior to purchasing any used vehicle: Do your homework prior to test drive such as researching online for potential issues specific to certain makes and models or talking to friends and family who have owned that type of vehicle. Find out the track record. Obtain a Carfax history report, which should be provided by any reputable dealer. If they do not, pay for the report in order to protect your potential investment. Things to be looking for are service records, the type and number of previous owners, title issues such as accident history, mileage discrepancy, odometer rollback and previous lemon law buyback. Test-drive the vehicle. Do a gut check, do you feel comfortable with the overall condition of vehicle. Ask to bring vehicle to your own trusted mechanic. If the dealer does not allow you to have vehicle checked out independently, I may hit the road and look elsewhere. Contact the Better Business Bureau to check out the dealer where you are shopping. Are they accredited? What is their BBB rating? By spending some extra time prior to the purchase, you may avoid buying a trouble prone vehicle. Well, let us say you did everything you should have done prior to the purchase and you find an issue after the sale. You read the warranty document you received from the dealer and determine it’s a covered component. Give the dealer every opportunity to resolve the problem. Any reputable dealer will want to properly address the situation. Automobiles are mechanical and will have issues. Some issues are harder to diagnose and repair then others. As a purchaser, you must properly notify the dealer and then give ample opportunity to make repair. The dealer is not required to provide transportation or towing to the shop, nor do they have to provide substitute transportation. If an issue can not be resolved after three attempts to repair the same complaint or if the repair is not performed within 14 days, the car may be deemed a “lemon”.

Tax Matters
The American Jobs Act
By Kelly Haggmark Contributing Writer
CNN and FOX News, MSNBC and countless others are all buzzing about President Obama’s proposed American Jobs Act. I took a look at it this week and I can see why. It’s full of changes that, if passed, will certainly impact all of us in one way or another. I was actually going to print the Act, but it was 199 pages and as a small business owner, I can’t afford
that! If you want to check it out go to www.whitehouse.gov/ jobsact#overview. It’s there for you to see, every page of it. There are several proposals that will affect businesses related to payroll taxes and credits hoping to spark hiring. First, a payroll tax cut that could begin in 2012. This cut reduces payroll taxes from 6.2 percent to 3.1 percent on the first $5 million dollars paid in wages. The 6.2 percent payroll tax is what employers pay for social security. Next, the act includes a proposed “payroll holiday” for employers that create new jobs or increase wages. This would be in the form of a refund of payroll taxes for employers that increase numbers of employees or wages paid above last year’s levels. This benefit would be capped at $50 million in new wages. Some incentives to hire those in certain circumstances
include tax credits from $5,600 to $9,600 when hiring unemployed veterans and a $4,000 tax credit for hiring long-term unemployed workers. Unemployment insurance reform is also part of the Act including work-sharing, a bridge-towork program and incentives for unemployed workers to start their own businesses. Expanding on the option to start your own business, I have always found it interesting that this was not encouraged in the past. Many of those unemployed have always wanted to become self-employed and have the skills and experience to do so, but can’t because they would lose their unemployment benefits. They are forced to either decide against starting that business or they may do something under-the-table and collect the unemployment. Consider the boost to our economy as a whole if we allowed people to collect
unemployment benefits while starting a business. It would be like extending a business start-up loan. Every new business spends money with other businesses and it is a real snowball effect. New businesses need a place to conduct business, open bank accounts, buy equipment and office supplies, and need the services of accountants, lawyers, consultants, insurance agents, etc. Many hire employees, pay taxes, and contribute to their communities. The concern, of course, is how do we pay for all of this? Also, will these measures really lead to new jobs? This remains to be seen. If I spend more at the grocery store, I can’t afford to eat out as often. For every dollar spent, there must be a reduction in spending or an increase in revenue. For our country an increase in revenue surely means an increase in taxes. Now that increase isn’t
always an increase in tax rates. It can also come from an increase in total taxes generated. For example, if a business’s profits increase due to increased sales and reductions in payroll taxes, they will pay more in total federal taxes on that income even if their tax rate remains the same. I think we are in for a wild ride! Kelly Haggmark is the owner of Haggmark Tax Service and is currently an Enrolled Agent enrolled to practice before the Internal Revenue Service. She has 20 years of experience in the fields of tax, accounting, and auditing and is a member of the Jamestown Community College Adjunct Faculty as an entrepreneurship instructor.

Franchisees Employ New Strategies to Meet Challenges of 2011 Contributed Article Liberty Tax Service
Like the small business sector, current and prospective franchisees have entered 2011 with a sense of cautious optimism major financial institutions are loosening up lending requirements, the federal government is increasing aid and consumers are beginning to spend again. In fact, a recent report from the National Retail Federation forecasts a 4 percent increase in consumer spending for 2011, excluding automobiles, gas stations and restaurants. “With retailers leading the charge, the economic recovery appears to be gaining some steam,” said NRF President
and CEO Matthew Shay. “The fate of the Main Street resurgence ultimately rests with policymakers on Capitol Hill. As Congress begins tackling key issues like deficit reduction and tax reform, it is critical we support policies that encourage job creation, consumption and business investment.” “With small business leading the economic recovery, it is anticipated that government will continue to open doors for small business owners,” notes (DeJaager), Liberty Tax Area Developer. Keeping this in mind, many franchisors are looking to last fall’s Small Business Jobs and Credit Act of 2010 to spur franchisee growth and prospects. While the Economic Stimulus Plan provided little
assistance to franchisees, the Jobs Act set up a $30 billion small business lending fund and created $12 billion in tax breaks, which Congress hopes will drive the economic recovery and create more jobs. While many experts have focused on what this bill will do for the small business sector, Ronald Feldman, CEO of Siegel Financial Group, believes it will prove a boon for those investing in a franchise opportunity. “[It] could have a profound positive effect on franchising. Many multi-unit operators have the ability to grow, but have not been able to get conventional lending due to the market,” he told AllBusiness.com. “SBA lending could be a great solution to support
their growth efforts.”However, for franchisees who are unable to access additional funding, it may be the perfect time to switch focus - from growing without to growing within, the website explains. Franchisees have made improvements in training, customer service and franchisee-franchisor communication, exemplifying the shift from quantity to quality. While the recession has forced many franchisees to enter “survival mode,” it has also caused unit owners to begin running more efficient operations. With no time, funds or help to spare, franchisees have adopted methods to satisfy any investor or potential lender - strategies that will bear well in a better economic future.

slight decrease from its 2011 rankings (10th in the North, tied for 46th overall) despite its consistent year-over-year performance across a nearly all of its metrics. This is due primarily to a significant increase in the number of schools that were classified in the Regional University pool, which are based on categories created by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. In fact, there are now 626 universities in this category nationwide, up from 572 last year, an increase of nearly 10 percent. This led to a handful of new institutions appearing above SUNY Fredonia in this year’s top-tier grouping — which also grew, from 126 to 136 universities. “We are pleased to again be cited so highly among these annual rankings,” said SUNY Fredonia President Dennis Hefner. “To have once again performed so competitively while the category we were in grew by 54 institutions is indeed impressive. However, the hard work of SUNY Fredonia’s faculty and staff, especially while operating in such a challenging fiscal environment, has been even more impressive. I look forward to seeing how these rankings change in a
few years, now that the SUNY system has a rational tuition policy in place and can better plan for long-term growth and improvement.” The annual rankings represent a comprehensive look at how schools stack up based on a set of 12 widely accepted indicators of excellence. The study aims to help students evaluate and compare data compiled from 1,378 accredited, fouryear institutions. The publication’s “North” region includes Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Vermont. SUNY Fredonia has been ranked as a Best College every year since 1989. The publication recognizes the study’s limitations, stating, “Certainly, the host of intangibles that make up the college experience can’t simply be measured by a series of data points.” However, the authors state, when combined with college visits, interviews, and student preferences, these rankings “can be a powerful tool in your quest for the right college.”

Four-Wheelin’ Safety, Part 1
Randy DeVaul
Stories abound on the dangers of all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), otherwise known as ‘four wheelers.’ Yet, we continue to hear about people getting seriously injured or killed while
riding these vehicles, only to discover the operators and riders were oftentimes reckless in operating them. The next two articles address how to operate ATVs in a safe manner. The US Consumer Protection Agency offers these tips to ensure safe operation of the ATV and ensure the safety of the operator. Learning to drive an ATV can be challenging. Many deaths and injuries occur when an inexperienced driver loses control of an ATV, is thrown from an ATV, overturns the vehicle, or collides with a fixed object or a motor vehicle. Good ATV training teaches new drivers how to handle multiple off-
road riding situations. Experienced ATV drivers (with more than one year of experience) have a much lower risk of injury than relatively new drivers. Training can help bridge that gap. Yet, less than 10% of all ATV drivers and only about one-quarter of new drivers receive professional training. All ATV drivers, including children under 16, should take a hands-on ATV safety course from a certified instructor. ATV manufacturers and distributors who are members of the Specialty Vehicle Institute of America (SVIA) offer free training as well as cash awards and incentives to
buyers who complete the ATV Safety Institute training course. Children under 16 can take the course only if they are on an age-appropriate ATV. Children younger than 12 who take the course must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian for the training. Many ATV injuries are head injuries. Wearing a helmet may reduce the severity of these injuries. Select a motorcycle or other motorized sports helmet and make sure the helmet is certified by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and/or the Snell Memorial Foundation. Other important protective equipment to wear while rid-
ing an ATV includes: Over-the-ankle boots – to protect feet and ankles from injury. Goggles – to protect eyes from rocks and dust thrown up by ATVs. Gloves – to protect fingers and hands. Long pants and long-sleeved shirt – to protect skin from rocks, trees, and other debris. ATVs should not be driven on paved roads. ATVs on paved roads are at risk of being hit by cars and other vehicles. While passenger vehicles contain safety features designed to protect occupants from collisions, ATVs do not. If struck by
other vehicles, ATV riders can be killed or severely injured. In addition, most ATVs have low pressure tires and a solid rear axle, where both wheels turn at the same speed. When making a turn, the ATV’s inside rear wheel is intended to skid because its path length is less than the path length of the outside wheel. ATVs on paved surfaces have much better traction, which prevents the necessary skidding. This can make turning an ATV on paved surfaces unpredictable and unstable. The next article will continue with additional ATV safety reminders.

Let the Bride Do the Hard Part: A Non-Traditional Wedding Page By Anne Walterich Contributing Writer
In anticipation of the ELEVEN weddings Jim and I are attending this year, I stocked up on bridal - themed stamps, papers and products, thinking I would use them on layouts for the happy couple. I was wrong. I have not used one themed item on any wedding page from the seven events we’ve attended so far this year. The products from the store just haven’t captured the freedom and independent spirits of the couples we’ve had the privilege to celebrate with. From one bride arriving to her beach ceremony on horseback, to the marquee on Shea’s Buffalo Theater “Starring Jessica as ‘Mrs. Petrinec’” in bright lights, to a garter ceremony that involved a prank with Texas – sized underpants, the frilly “I do” and romantic hearts were highly underwhelming. Exciting weddings need exciting layouts.
The muted blues and silver tones of the wedding products just weren’t cutting it, either. The wedding we attended this weekend for my cousin and his beautiful bride was anything but dull. Bright blue dresses, flowers and accessories not only complemented the ladies in the wedding party, but also lent electricity and elation to the happy occasion in a way that a pastel shade could never capture. If the bride spent all of the time and effort coordinating the palette of the evening, who am I to try to alter that into something more traditional? I believe that if she went through all of that work, I’m more than happy to accommodate it in the layout. For this 12” X 12” page, I took a piece of plain white paper I had previously experimented with and was not going to use in its current state. Using a Close to My Heart ink in Pacifica, I ran the pad across the edges of the page in an angular pattern to create the background. I spray – starched
This could never be mistaken for a traditional wedding layout.
and ironed the cocktail napkin to stiffen the paper and remove the fold lines as much as possible. I adhered it, slightly off – center, with the embossing in the right corner. Next, I added the peacock feather and flow-
ers that I hijacked from the centerpieces. The netting came from the favors – I ate the Jordan almonds that were inside to make sure nothing went to waste. The flower was layered on top of the photo and net-
ting to “anchor” it to the page, so it didn’t feel as though it was just floating there. The final embellishment in the lower right corner also came from the favors, and completed the visual triangle. The only alteration I made was to add the jewel over the “Thank you” engraved on the charm. Admittedly, the photo I chose to use is not the best. Despite sharpening it in Photoshop to reduce the motion blur, it’s still out of focus. I thought it captured them best, though, smiling and strutting as they made their entrance, enjoying the best day of their lives. It’s candid, fitting, and fun, just like they are. The only products I used were ink, paper, Diamond Glaze adhesive, MBI Photo Mounting Squares, and a jewel embellishment. Everything else was chosen by the bride. I couldn’t have done it any better myself. This week’s pick : Xpress Yourself Scrapbooking, 3208 Peach

Keeping the Faith Advice for College Dear Pastor, my last child just left for college and I’m having a tough time letting go. I think I’m driving them crazy with all my calls and texts. What do I do? Although my girls are still young, I understand your situation. I have heard this same lament from many parents in our church and have heard the struggle in their relationships with their maturing kids. It’s a real time of transition and By Rev. Michael Lokietek redefining of the relationship Family Church of Chautauqua County and roles in each others lives.
But fear not! God has help for you to get through this tough time. Let’s begin with the issue from a family point of view. As a parent you’ve invested your time, and heart and prayers into protecting and teaching your child. During that time your child continued to mature and is now facing the decisions of adulthood themselves, including going off to college. Although the day of their departure came suddenly, the changing relation-
ship and roles of parent and child will take a while. But be encouraged…you can both get through this! I believe that the texting and calls are because of fear and a lack of trust in God. Like giving in to any other kind of impulse, it doesn’t help the situation but rather reinforces the fear. But what does God say? First believe that it isn’t God who wants you in fear. 2 Tim 1:7 declares, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love
and of a sound mind.” Fear is not part of God’s “tool chest” and it will get in the way of your relationship with Him and your child. Rather that giving in to fear…how about giving in to trust? Proverbs 3:5-6 tells us to, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; (6) in all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.” The real issue is that you’re having difficulty trusting God to do what He says He will do. But please believe that God loves
you and He loves your child more than you do! Keep reading these scriptures and set limits on your calls and texting. Better yet…let them call you! As you do this, you’ll start to see less tension in your relationship with your child and more importantly, a growth in your trust of God!
The Weekly Word Understanding Grace
Rev. Tim Stahlman Family Church of the Southern Tier
God’s grace is simply beyond words. Ephesians 2:4-5
says, “But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith He loved us, EVEN WHEN WE WERE DEAD IN SINS, has made us alive together with Christ, by grace you are saved…” Do you know what makes someone dead in sins? It is because they are completely without Christ which means they are completely with the devil. There is no middle ground. Notice that God loved us even when we were in league with the great thief and liar. Satan was the great mutineer and apart from Christ, every sinner has joined Satan’s plot to overthrow God.
Even then, God was still in love with you. God did not begin loving you the moment you accepted Christ; He began loving you before the creation of the earth when He saw your future sins and decided that His Son must die on the cross to cleanse them. It’s like this: Imagine a loving husband goes to great lengths to give his wife the best birthday party of her life. Months ahead of time, he arranges for her family to fly into town, he buys expensive decorations, hires a caterer, and buys her an expensive gift. When she walks into the room on that day, her heart
melts when she realizes the planning and effort that went into her special day. She is more motivated than ever to be the wife that her husband deserves to have. God looked ahead to your birthday. At the moment you asked Jesus Christ to come into your heart, to be your Lord and Savior, you were Born Again with the life of God. It is your spiritual birthday. God began planning that day in the eternal past. He hoped you would notice the effort He spent in putting His perfect Son on the cross for you. He hoped that you would understand that you were on
eternal death row when He loved you and took your place. We deserved to be cast down yet He lifted us up to life. We deserved our seat with the father of lies yet he reserved a seat for us with Himself. He did all of this while the drunk was still drinking, the liar still lying, and the gambler still gambling. Before you ever did one act of kindness, before you attended one church service, and before you ever gave one nickel to the poor, God did this for you. You couldn’t perform for it; you couldn’t earn the credits. It was already done before you even existed.
Grace is the unveiling of God’s kindness and character. Who and What He is saved you; not who and what you are. He saved you from what you did; what you did has not saved you. Do we dare to believe that grace excuses us from works of obedience and holiness? No, we have no excuse to be disobedient. Grace is not the absence of works; it is the present reminder to get to work. We do not accept Christ “just in case” hell is a real place. Hell is a real place and I live for God to prove my case that I appreciate what He did for me.

The Consequences of the Vietnam War & the Heart of a Soldier
By Lucy Studd Contributing Writer
This week I would like to share with you a letter I received from a family of a Viet Nam
Veteran as this war touched so many I want to share it with all of you. Our Veterans have sustained many consequences, some of them life long. “I’m older now and the kids have grown. There are so many thoughts and feelings I haven’t shared with you. Not because I haven’t wanted to. I just can’t seem to move them past the emotional barricade that has hidden me from you, and even from myself. I thought I would be able to relax once I didn’t have to work so hard, but in a way retirement is worse. It is like it was when I was in Nam on the short stay. I looked forward to going home, but when the time came and that plane drew nearer to the U.S. soil,
I dreaded the reunion. Now, after waiting years to retire, I sometimes can’t stand the quiet. You wonder why the TV is my best friend, and why I spend countless hours in solitude on projects that occupy my time with no requirement for conversation. You try to talk me into doing errands or shopping with you, always hearing the same excuses that I have work to do. In spite of my isolation, I usually feel extremely lonely. The preoccupation with the TV and my projects helps me to numb out the feelings and memories I try to avoid. When you don’t understand why I still avoid socializing or certain family events, I am not able to give you an explana-
tion, so I either get angry or give you the same old reasons. What you don’t hear is how sorry I am that I haven’t been able to participate in numerous family and social events. I know you would like that and you have sacrificed on my behalf. You are appreciated more than you will ever know! When my anger gets out of hand, please know that afterwards I feel rotten too. I am unable to take it back, and I see the hurt and sometimes the fear it causes. Thank you for hanging in there with me. I do not want to hurt or embarrass you with my reactivity. Just give me some time to pull myself together and I will work at controlling my reactions.
You are courageous and loyal and we’ve had an interesting journey together. We have learned a great deal about tolerance and the lack of it. We have learned the importance of trust and loyalty. (That is sometimes hard for me in the civilian world outside of family.) Now, as we grow old together, I must learn from you how to be patient. I know I need to be more aware of how my behavior and moods impact your life. We’ve come this far together and I want you to know that in spite of my inability to even access my loving feelings (much less express them), I know they are deep and significant. I want us to make the best of the rest of this life we have together.”
Our Viet Nam veterans suffered from negative stereotypes following the Vietnam War. The veterans of Vietnam defended our country just as the veterans of all previous wars and they deserved the same treatment as any other yet they did not receive that treatment. It has only been in more recent years that Vietnam veterans have begun to receive the recognition that they deserve. In 1982, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial was dedicated to the veterans of Vietnam. We thank these brave men and women who fought for us and our country and hold them in high regard.

Dunkirk’s Defense Paving Way For Resurgence

By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor
After taking care of business against East Aurora last week by winning 25-0, one of the biggest games in recent Dunkirk football history will take place tomorrow night. The Marauders (2-1, 2-0 Class B South) will host Pioneer — the No. 4 ranked small school according to the Buffalo News — Friday night for a game with major B South implications. The Panthers (3-0, 2-0) have seemed a little vulnerable in their first three games, but wins are wins. A 29-7 drubbing of East Aurora in Week 2 is the only double-digit win Pioneer has managed. But the defending co-division champions are a major roadblock Dunkirk needs to clear, especially if they want to accomplish their goal of making it to the sectional finals. Meanwhile, the Marauders have
quietly crept up the standings in B South after a disappointing season opening debacle against Silver Creek. Since losing to the Black Knights 3514 the Marauders won back-to-back road games for the first time under third-year head coach Tim Majka. For Dunkirk, their resurgence has
been led by a strong defense anchored by Kyle Utegg. The senior middle linebacker has been a tackling machine, and a main reason why the Marauders defense has only allowed seven points in their last two games. “The defense feeds off each other, but Kyle is definitely the lynchpin,” Ma-

jka said. “When everybody is doing what they’re supposed to do, he’s going to be able to make plays because that’s how our system works.” First Dunkirk broke through on the road against Eden, 12-7. The defense kept Eden at bay all night long, with Utegg leading the way with a game-high 15 tackles. The team also combined for six sacks. “Defensively we’re in a good place,” Majka said. “We tweaked a few things since the Silver Creek game, where we had some coverage breakdowns. We simplified things and honestly we’ve just had seniors step it up.” Although it was Kevin Burns tossing the game-winning touchdown, senior running back Eddie Marshall has been a key cog in moving the chains. “Eddie’s a great kid,” Majka said. “He’s deceptively strong and can run it in between the tackles. We have to get Continued on pg 3

Southwestern-Salamanca Showdown Could Determine C South Champ By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor
No surprise here, but the Southwestern Trojans (3-0, 2-0 Class C South) are off to a fast start in 2011. Coming into the season having not lost a regular season game since 2007 head coach Jay Sirianni’s squad hasn’t missed a beat, even with an overall less experienced team returning. Although, they haven’t dominated as they have in recent years, they’re coming off an impressive 24-7 win over Olean where the defense again led the way, but Sirianni knows it can be better. “As a team, we played very well against Olean,” Sirianni said. “But our defense has played OK. There is still room for a lot of improvement. Playing good defense comes down to two things, getting everyone running to the ball and making the proper ingame adjustments. The adjustments are easier with a veteran group.” The veteran group on defense, led by possible All-WNY defensive back Jake Swan, is a main reason why Southwestern is looking to get back to the top of the Class C Mountain after losing to Fredonia in the Sectional championship last season, ending a two-year run. “All we ask is for our players to continue to improve from week to week,
in an effort to peak at the end of the season,” Sirianni said. “Our defensive leaders, Jake Swan and Tyler Uber have been able to help our inexperienced players with the adjustments.” But Friday night, they’ll meet arguably their toughest match yet, when they head to play the Salamanca Warriors (2-1, 2-0). Salamanca opened the year with a surprising 21-14 loss to Springville, but that loss doesn’t seem nearly as bad since the Griffins have played Olean and Pioneer tough over the past two weeks. Regardless, Salamanca rebounded with back-to-back wins against Falconer and Cattaraugus/Little Valley and has put themselves in prime position for Friday night’s showdown
that will likely determine the Class C regular season champion. These are the only two undefeated teams left in the league and Southwestern already handled Westfield, who looks to be the third best team in Class C South. Thus, the winner here has a good chance to win out — and win the league. “Every game in the league is a must win game if you want to compete for a league title,” Sirianni said. “It also comes down to playoff seeding. It’s the fourth game of the season and it’s a huge game because it’s a league game.” But, if recent history is any suggestion, the Trojans might be OK. Salamanca has rarely been a problem for Southwestern, losing 48-0 last year — and 37-0 in the playoffs — and

41-0 in 2009. But these two teams are certainly much different from even last year. “Salamanca has a proud football tradition,” Sirianni said. “(Head coach) Jason Marsh was part of some great Warrior teams in the ’90s. He takes pride in the program and does a nice job of getting his players ready to play.” The Warriors are led with a balanced attack on offense led by running back Ben Haas and quarterback Tanner John. “I believe Tanner John is one of the better QBs in our league,” Sirianni said. “Haas is a dynamite player and their offensive line is big and strong.” Also fueling the offense are Ron Smith and Jevon Battle. Battle returned a kickoff for a touchdown last week and Smith caught a TD pass from Tanner John. Defensively is where Salamanca appears to be the most dangerous, with a number of experienced, talented players. “They have a lot of experience on their defense, including Cam Caputi and Jackson John who have both been really impressive,” Sirianni said.” Battle and Smith each had an interception last week against Catt/Little Valley as the Warriors shutout them out for the final three quarters.

Randolph Dispatches Silver Creek In Class D Showdown; Fredonia-Southwestern Off Maple Grove Rolling To Undefeated Starts, a home playoff game at this By Chris Winkler Rematch Possible point, but certainly appears Star Sports Editor
to have the talent to push for a top two spot in the Class D playoffs. They have a pretty good chance next week to move to 3-1 against I-Prep. Despite the loss, Portville quarterback Colt Lowe is certainly making a name for himself. Lowe threw for four touchdowns against Frewsburg and another three last week against Silver Creek to put his name in the hat for first-team all Class D. Meanwhile, Maple Grove, the No. 6 ranked team in the state continues to roll. Behind a balanced attack, they beat Nichols 49-0 Friday night as six different Red Dragons players found the end zone. But after the non-league game this past week, it’s all business for Maple Grove on out starting with hosting Silver Creek this Friday night before heading down the road to play Randolph Sept. 30. Although all six teams in Class D will make the sectional playoffs, the top two seeds will be awarded first-round byes.

Finally, I-Prep lost their third game in a row to start the season with a 31-14 loss against Monsignor Martin foe, Cardinal O’Hara.
In a key in-season matchup between the past two Section VI Class D champions, the Randolph Cardinals scored 40 of the games final 48 points to make a statement victory throughout the state. Randolph (3-0, 2-0), who entered the game ranked No. 2 in the New York State Sportswriters Association Class D poll, crunched the Black Knights with a disciplined, strong option rushing attack. However it didn’t come easy. Silver Creek (2-1, 1-1) head coach Sean Helmer said he was adamant about getting his team to start games stronger over the phone last week. In each of Silver Creek’s first two games, the Black Knights fell behind early and trailed by a combined 20-6 after one quarter of play in the two games. Of course after the first quarter, Silver Creek had outscored opponents 70-22 en route to a 2-0 start. However, Friday night’s game was completely opposite for Helmer and the Black Knights. Quarterback John Jimerson had it going early on, as he hit Zack Klisiewicz for a 6-yard touchdown and another to Zeddie Williams for a 7-yarder before the first

this weekend. Class DD Roundup With three weeks into the books, Chautauqua Lake (3-0, 3-0) has already put a stamp down on the team to beat in the newly formed Class DD. The Thunderbirds rolled again in Week 3, this time beating Forestville (1-2, 1-2) 47-0. In three games, they’ve outscored opponents 114-12 and are even ranked in the latest state polls as a Class D team. In Saturday’s game with Forestville, the Thunderbirds ran for seven touchdowns, two each from Chris Sampson and Adam Carpenter, as Chautauqua Lake was up big early, 33-0 after one quarter. Not to be outdone though, as Clymer (2-1, 2-1) blew out Pine Valley (0-3, 0-3) as well Saturday, 42-0, setting up a potential championship preview between Clymer and Chautauqua Lake Friday night. Ryan Phelps continued to make his case for Class DD Offensive Player of the Year as he ran for four touchdowns, en route to racking up 126 yards. He now has eight rushing touchdowns in three games. Friday night’s league action saw Sheman (1-2, 1-2) win their first game of the year by defeating Franklinville (1-2, 1-2) 22-7. Ellicottville (2-1, 2-1) tripped up Panama (2-1, 2-1) in double overtime with a dramatic 36-28 win. The game went back-andforth with five lead changes before Ellicottville finally stopped the Panthers on the final drive in double overtime. Jamestown, Dunkirk pick up wins It was another big win for the Dunkirk Marauders (2-1, 1-1 Class B South) who beat East Aurora 25-0 to win back-toback road games for the first time under third year head coach Tim Majka. Now, Majka and the Marauders have two upcoming home games against Pioneer and Olean that if won, would give Dunkirk the Class B South title. Again it was Kevin Burns and Eddie Marshall leading the offense for Dunkirk. Burns tossed two touchdown passes to Kyle Utegg and Kevin Holmes, while Marshall ran for 77 yards and a score. Defensively, Elon DeJesus returned an interception for a score while Utegg had 13 tackles. Eager to put the Orchard Park loss behind them, the Jamestown Red Raiders (2-1, 0-1 Class AA South) took it to Niagara-Wheatfield Saturday with a 49-0 win. Spencer Dedinque ran for three touchdowns, but it was the dominating performance of the defense, led by Ben Whitney and Cortland Haines, that caught a few eyes around the league. The Red Raiders begin a four-game stretch to end the regular season that will determine whether or not they can make the sectional playoffs. Although it’s not a “must-win” game Friday night against winless West Seneca West, Jamestown certainly would prefer it with Lancaster and Clarence still on the schedule.

No-Name Bills Resemble Racing Films Donated To The Chautauqua Sports Hall Of Fame The Good Ole’ Days – If Old Contributed Articles Enough To Remember Chautauqua Sports HOF
Chris Winkler COMMENTARY
I’ve been to plenty of Buffalo Bills games in my lifetime. ds Too many to count. Too many twohorrid memories. Too many and Patriots losses. ly, Thus, what happened last Sunday at Ralph Wilson Stadium was easily the greatas est Bills game I have ever been to. For many Bills fans l my age, we only know of the po- losing. We don’t know what ew it was like to sit back and au- watch Jim Kelly and company come barging down the field when the Bills really needed to score. as I remember Trent Edwards , en taking sacks. I remember Kelly ds. Holcomb throwing short of the first down line on fourth . down. I remember J.P. Losman n turning the ball over. The memory of seeing my by team drive all the way down 2, the field with the game on the line doesn’t exist. In fact ed when I saw that final play unu- fold, the whole world seemed ic to freeze for a moment and I said “Nelson’s wide open — he’s going to drop it”. That’s s how I remember this team. But whatever the case, or for e whatever reason, the Bills me. team that showed up Sunday up gave the new generation of Bills fans a little bit of a taste of the old days. he -1 Is Ryan Fitzpatrick as good as ast Jim Kelly? That’s never going to o- be a serious question, nor will st any of these Bills players really come close to resembling the great offenses of the early ’90s, but they don’t have to be. de That’s what makes this team so likable. The average NFL e fan couldn’t name five Bills itle. players. nd Fitzpatrick was a seventh round pick in 2005. He’s on his third NFL team in seven ses years. Fred Jackson went ol- undrafted out of Division III r 77 Coe College. Stevie Johnson was a seventh round pick. David Nelson and a Donald Jones were signed kles. as undrafted free agents last season. Scott Chandler was a ark fourth round pick in 2007 and - never caught a pass until last 1 year with the Bills. ay Minus C.J. Spiller, there is nobody on this offense that every single other NFL team passed on. - And the man putting it all y together, Chan Gailey, wasn’t’ d exactly any owners’ first — or yes last — choice as a head coach, either. The no-name Bills offense had he 34 first downs Sunday. You er- know how many first downs an the Bills had in last year’s . Week 2 game against the Packwin” ers? 14 — and I even thought that was a bit high. My point is, Gailey has completely overhauled the ofd fensive personnel and in doing ule. so, has magically put together
one of the league’s most potent offenses in one year. And he’s done it with guys nobody had heard of before they put on a Bills jersey. And, oh yeah, he’s done it in one year. It’s great to be 2-0, but it’s still a little too early to start making travel arrangements for Indianapolis, Ind., host of Super Bowl XLVI. Heck it’s even too early to think this team could make the playoffs. Even I can remember 2-0. Heck the Bills were 4-0 just three years ago. A Trent Edwards injury and a — gulp — Dick Jauron contract extension later, and the Bills finished a measly 7-9. However, the two teams are completely different. In fact, besides the men doing the kicking, only 11 current players were on that 2008 team. On offense, Fred Jackson was just an unknown backup running back. Stevie Johnson and Roscoe Parrish were seldom-used slot men. Full back Corey McIntyre had the same, barely noticeable role. Defensively, Reggie Corner, Spencer Johnson, Bryan Scott and George Wilson were all backups. Only Chris Kelsay, Terrence McGee and Leodis McKelvin actually had roles on that team, and that was only three years ago. Hard to believe. But, it’s also encouraging. That team seemed to run and hide when things started to not go their way. A pretty simple assessment for a team that lost eight of their final 10 games. This Bills team, however, clearly refuses to give up, all the way from the top player — whoever that even is — to the worst. After the game, many of the players said how they talked at halftime about the Cincinnati game last season. The one-win Bills trailed 31-14 going into the half and were getting shutdown by a team not that much better than them. Of course, the Bills outscored the Bengals 35-0 in a convincing rout that caught some national attention. However, that pushed the Bills to 2-8. This pushed the Bills to 2-0. There’s a big difference between winning a game in early September versus late November. I’m not trying to say this team is a guaranteed playoff team — they’re far from it right now — but it’s a lot easier to get to 10 wins when you start with two instead of none. Remember, it’s not how you get there, just that you do get there. Ask Kansas City just how good they really are. But, maybe there is something to this young squad losing a bunch of tight games last year. The saying always is it makes the team hungrier. But until Sunday, I had never seen any real verification. One thing we do know is the Bills have some heart. And that heart happens to lead the league in rushing yardage and scoring. Are they the ’91 Bills? Of course not. But hopefully one of those early ’90s Patriot teams come strolling into town Sunday.

Fredonia Men’s Soccer Sweeps Weekend Pair In Dominating Fashion By Owen McGuinness Star Sports Writer
The Fredonia men’s soccer team scooped up two more wins this weekend while on the road. The boys played both Friday and Saturday and ended up racking in a total of 8 unanswered goals between both opponents. While the Blue Devils lost earlier in the week to Nazareth College by one goal, this past weekend brought the Fredonia men’s soccer team up to six wins and two losses on the season. Fredonia played against John Jay College on Friday, taking up a 3-0 win. Saturday’s game was played against Farmingdale State College ending with a 5-0 win for the Devils
— ending a hard, but rewarding weekend for the men’s soccer team. With a week of hard earned rest due for the team, the boys will be back on the road again on Friday to play Geneseo,
while Saturday’s game will be held at Brockport. Brockport has proven to be a tough opponent in the past. Last year in the semi finals at the SUNYAC championship, Fredonia lost to Brockport
in double overtime, in what senior mid fielder Cory Paine called “a very tough and disappointing loss for the team.” As the middle of the season quickly approaches, Fredonia will have a tough weekend ahead of them yet again, but if they can pull out two more wins it will put them at the top of their division. The last game of this month will be played at home, on Sept. 27, against Westminster College at 7 p.m. Everyone is encouraged to come root for the Blue Devils.

they’ll already have the division title locked up heading into their final league game against Springville in Week 6. “It would certainly be special, but we can’t get ahead of ourselves,” Majka said. “The seniors are starting to realize this is their last chance to put on football pads and you can tell from
the intensity in practice.” First things first, though, and that’s Pioneer. The Panthers have a potent offense with senior running backs Corey Vail and Nate Woodruff leading the way. Vail ran for almost 200 yards against Springville last week
as the Panthers escaped 26-19. “We each played East Aurora to about the same score,” Majka said. “We’ve also had some common opponents and everything seems even. I really expect a good game, but whoever wins it will be 3-0 in the league and will certainly be in the driver seat.”

IT’S GOOD FOR YOUR GAME
TEEING OFF
Teaching aids you can make at home Every expensive teaching aid started with a dirt-cheap prototype that in many cases was just as effective as the “Madison Avenue” version that consumers buy. If you’re a golfer who can’t or doesn’t want to pay retail for your swing aids, here are some of the most important ones that you can make at home, along with the swing principles they teach. 1. A Board Over a Shaft This teaching aid is designed to teach you weight transfer. All you need is an old golf shaft and a board. The Swing Principle it teaches: Weight shift How to: Place the board over the shaft to make a teeter-totter, then stand on the board with one foot on each side of the shaft. There is a hip-switch in every good swing where the weight transfers to your trail hip on the backswing (the board teeters backward) and then the target hip on the downswing Here I’ve used two clubs, (the board totters forward). grip to grip, but a 3-foot dowel 2. A Wire Coat Hanger plugged into the butt end of The Swing Principle it teach- your club works quite nicely. es: Eye alignment over the ball How to: Use a coat hanger with the hook extended like a finger then bent at a right angle so that it points at the target. Since the wire is malleable, it can be configured so that it fits around your head at address with the “finger” of the coat hanger pointing down the eye line. You then position your head so the “finger” is over the target line for a perfect eye line match when you putt. You’ll look ridiculous, but you’ll putt better. 3. Clubs End-to-End Swing Principle: Body action during pitching How to: Place two clubs end to end or plug a 3-foot dowel

Paper Towel Tube Swing Principle: Proper head cock based on identification of your The commercial version of dominant eye the comb. How to: Hold the tube with both hands and arms fully extended. Using both eyes, look through the tube at a ball on the ground. Now close your left eye. If you can still see the ball through the tube, you’re right-eye dominant. Otherwise your left eye is your dominant eye. This will help you to set up correctly with your head cocked so your dominant eye looks directly at the ball. 6. The Teeter-Totter Board Again Swing Principle: Bounce How to: Place the board on the ground and cover it with a layer of sand equal to the amount of sand you should take on a bunker shot. Place a golf ball on the sand and hit sand shots off the board. The bottom of the club skids rather than digs, just as it should in a real sand shot. Making your own teaching aids is fun and can save you some money. My advice is to make your own teaching aids, then invest the money you save in a series of lessons from a PGA teaching professional.
THE GOLF DOCTOR
Learning to play golf increases brain size Do Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson have bigger golf brains than most people? This has never been proven, but if a professor at the Institute of Neurology in London is correct, anyone who learns a special skill — including pro golfers — has more brain square footage devoted to that skill. Dr. Richard Frackowiak did a study of London cab drivers that found they had a larger brain area called the hippocampus than do non-cabbies. The cabbies study for two years to pass a rigorous visual-spatial test called The Knowledge, which requires them to imagine the streets of London and store the mental maps in the brain. As a result, their brains grow to handle the overload — the more maps, the bigger the brain. Now there is new research that your brain grows physically when you play golf — even if it’s just for fun. A study of golfers titled “Training-Induced Neural Plasticity in Golf Novices” by the University of Zurich’s Ladina Bezzola, et al, researched the plasticity of older brains using the assumption that a brain that is growing and learning new things is
a healthy brain, or as they say, your brain can be fortified by “the neuro-protective effects of physical leisure activities.” The scientists studied novice golfers between the ages of 40 and 60 — an age period when an active lifestyle is assumed to counteract cognitive decline. Each subject compiled 40 hours of golf with no formalized agenda, and the results showed that when they played golf, changes occurred in their brain — it grew. This means that you don’t have to undergo a pre-scripted training routine, where you spend a measured amount of time chipping or so much time hitting your driver. Plus, you don’t need a coach. Basically, all you have to do is “do it.” But what was not included in the study was how well a person will play without some sort of choreography. The leisure golfer will make physical brain changes and store that learning, but this begs the question: “Is what they taught themselves correct?” Remember that golf is counter-intuitive — unaided you’ll learn perfectly, but unless you have some qualified help, it could be “perfectly wrong.”

ASK THE PRO
Waiting on No. 1
Q: Do you think belly putters and long putters should remain legal? And do you think the USGA and/or the R&A will make belly putters and long putters illegal in the future? — A.L. A: Legal is the wrong word — conforming is better. And I believe they should remain conforming. They offer no special advantage — if they did, everyone would use one. They are great for short putts, but tough for long ones; some swear by them, and some swear at them. The call to ban the belly putter started after Ernie Els lost to Trevor Immelman at the 2009 Deutsche Bank-SAP Open. Els commented that it was unfair for a player to anchor the putter to his body and called for the USGA to ban it. But how can it be “unfair advantage” if everyone has the option to use it? Els is currently near the bottom in the putting rankings, and his career has been hamstrung by poor putting, but he so far has refused to try the belly putter. And if the argument is that it doesn’t look good, ruins tradition, etc., how about that awful-looking claw/saw grip, or the “shorty” putter used by Robert Garrigus that

GOLF BY THE NUMBERS
The first million female Who was the first woman golfer to win $1 million in a season on the LPGA Tour? Did I hear you say Annika Sorenstam? That would be logical but wrong. The answer is Karrie Webb. At 26 years of age, she became the youngest and fastest to achieve a career grand slam in women’s golf — only the third player to perform the feat in the modern era. The others are Pat Bradley and Julie Inkster. But few remember that in 1996, Webb earned $1,002,000 to become the first player in LPGA history to reach the $1 million mark in single-season earnings; she also was the first rookie on either the LPGA Tour or the PGA Tour to reach Annika Sorenstam: the $1 million mark in single-season earnings. famous, but not first. First Million-Dollar Male On the men’s side, Curtis Strange won four tournaments in 1988, including the U.S. Open, and became the first PGA Tour player to crack the $1 million mark for single-season earnings.
Smooth face yields less spin A few years ago I received this question: “I play with a very nice woman who has an unusual habit — she spits on her clubface before every shot. Is it legal to spit on your club?” My answer about Lady Saliva was that it’s not legal because you can’t apply a foreign substance — in this case, saliva — to the clubface. But why is it illegal? The answer is that certain substances applied to the clubface cause the ball to go farther and straighter. Golf Digest reported that in a test conducted at Mississippi State University, Thomas Lacy, a professor of aerospace engineering, advises that the “use of a lubricant on a driver face produced shots with a 27 percent higher launch angle and a 44 percent reduction in spin for an average gain of nine to 26 yards compared with drivers with untreated faces.” The bottom line is that the smoother the clubface, the more the ball slides up the face without rotating, producing less spin. And since it leaves the clubface higher on the face, it launches higher, satisfying the conditions needed for maximum distance — i.e., high launch/low spin = more distance. Pam (the cooking oil) works, as does Vaseline and sunscreen, but the best lubricant is motor oil because it’s designed to reduce friction. The key to effectiveness is to match how much you put on your clubface to your swing speed — if your swing speed is too low, the ball won’t have enough backspin to stay in the air and you may lose distance. Plus, decreasing spin can help golfers who curve the ball too much, and as the Golf Digest report indicates, slices and hooks tend to be about 30 percent closer to the target line. So the advantages can be in both power and accuracy, a nice package when the basic equation is Good Golf = Good Distance + Good Direction. QUOTE OF THE WEEK

bends the golfer so far over it appears as if he’s looking for a lost a contact lens. Should they outlaw the short putter, the long putter, the claw, the saw, left hand low, the belly putter, etc.? No way — too many careers at stake. Remember back when the ruling bodies of golf ruined Sam Snead’s comeback by changing the rules so neither he nor anyone else could putt croquet style? There is one story that reports the influential Bobby Jones Robert Garrigus putts watching Snead putt squatting astride the line with the putter be- his “shorty.” tween his legs: Jones shook his head and said, “That must go,” and shortly thereafter the USGA changed the rule.

With Offensive Power Outage, Ironmen Go Winless In NAHL Showcase in the weekend series seems like a distant memory, as the Ironmen could only score two times in their four games in four days in Minnesota. “It was a huge struggle for us,” Daikawa said. “It’s really a case of not having an identity. We talk about having passion, but this week we had a lack of passion. “We have to get better. I told the guys we have to throw it in of a defensemen, then that’s what we have to do.” The results were a 4-0 loss to Coulee Region, a 5-1 loss to
By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor
Head coach Dan Daikawa said before the season that he knew it was going to be difficult for his team to score goals. He probably didn’t think it would be this hard. The Ironmen entered the NAHL Showcase in Blaine, Minn. on a little bit of a roll, winning their first two games of the season against the Chicago Hitmen. However, the 11-goal output
“I’m accustomed to winning and we’re going to do everything we can to get better each game” Head coach Dan Daikawa
Jamestown hits the road again this weekend with a couple of division games against Michigan Friday and Kalamazoo Saturday. It will be a nice test for the Ironmen to see just how good they really are, as division games are really all that exists on the rest of the schedule. Of their remaining 54 games, 48 of them will be against division foes like Michigan and Kalamazoo. “I’ve talked to a bunch of coaches and scouts who said, ‘relax Dan, it’s only September,’” Daikawa said. “But I’m mad. My family is mad. Everyone from the owner down to the equipment manager is mad. “I’m accustomed to winning and we’re going to do everything we can to get better each game.”
against Coulee Region and Alaska, but none of which were able to find the back of the net. Meanwhile, Anthony Coles had a productive week, scoring the teams’ only two goals of the week to give him three on the season. Coles, a third-year player in the league, peppered 17 shots throughout the week, by far leading the team, and even scored a nice shorthanded goal against Topeka. “Anthony is a big body, control the puck type of player,” Daikawa said. “We needed somebody to step up and he did and he made a great play on the shorthanded goal, outskating a guy. He’s a guy that can take the puck to the net and has the ability to be a top-tier offensive guy.”
the third period left Ballmer and Ironmen no chance. “I’ve never been a part of a team that shoots this little,” Daikawa said. And it was the same story in the finale against Topeka, Jamestown was outshot 18-3 in the first period, but again Ballmer kept them alive by allowing just one goal. “In the games we won, we put up 40-some shots,” Daikawa said. “In the games we lost, we were barely getting to 20. We have to start doing something to get more shots on net.” Despite allowing six goals, he still stopped 40 shots, but the Ironmen were doubled in that department 46-23. The offense wasn’t a complete lost cause. They managed 28 shots each in the games
the Amarillo Bulls, a 2-0 loss to the Alaska Avalanche and finally a 6-1 loss to Topeka. The good news though, if Jamestown can figure out its offense, is the Ironmen found out they have a pretty good goalie in Joey Ballmer. Ballmer was exceptional throughout the four games even if the scores don’t exactly prove that. “Joey was the talk of the showcase,” Daikawa said. “I had six or seven Division 1 colleges call me and ask about him. If he keeps playing like this, he’ll have a college scholarship.” Against Amarillo, the Ironmen were outshot 45-12. But it was Ballmer keeping them afloat after two periods only down 2-0 despite being outshot 26-8. However, a 19-4 onslaught in

ATLANTA — Turns out, Michael Vick was right. He was only a visitor, and a hurting one at that. This is Matt Ryan's house now. Ryan tossed a career-high four touchdown passes, shaking off all the hoopla over Vick coming back to face his old team as Philadelphia's starter, and rallied Atlanta from a 10-point deficit for a 35-31 victory over the Eagles in a Sunday night thriller. Vick wasn't around for the end, wobbling to the locker room with a concussion late in the third quarter. Matty Ice was there to the end, celebrating a comeback win. “He is a guy who will never give up,'' Falcons coach Mike Smith said. “When you have a guy like that leading your football, it's going to pay dividends in the long run.” It sure did on this night. Two of Ryan's TD throws went to ageless tight end Tony Gonzalez, who went past Terrell Owens into the fifth spot on the NFL's career receiving list. Then, Ryan hooked up with Ovie Mughelli on a 1-yard score that brought Atlanta to 31-28 with just less than 11 minutes remaining. The Falcons (1-1) completed

The Atlantic Coast Conference has extended its northern reach, adding Pittsburgh and Syracuse. Now the question becomes, will the league stop there — or keep growing to 16? The ACC announced Sunday that its council of presidents unanimously voted to accept those two schools, a move that increases its membership to 14 and sends the Big East scrambling — again — to replace two of its cornerstone programs. “We are constantly evaluating the competitive landscape to ensure the conference's viability for years to come, and this, I believe, has staying power,'' ACC Commissioner John Swofford said on a conference call. “First of all, we are very comfortable with this 14,'' he added. “The only thing I would add to that is that we are not philosophically opposed to 16. But for now we are very pleased with this 14. We think it is just an excellent group.'' The announcement caps a turbulent week of reshuffling for the ACC. It likely will lead to another dramatic shift in college athletics and could mark the next step toward the era of 16-team superconferences. “I can say that in all my years of collegiate athletics administration, I've never seen this level of uncertainty and potential fluidity in schools and conferences,'' Swofford said. “Schools, they're looking for stability, and when that stability doesn't exist, for whatever reason, as long as that's going on, I think the conferences that appear to be stable moving forward are going to receive inquiries from schools that are desirous of having that kind of stability.'' Swofford said “double-digit numbers of schools'' recently expressed interest in possibly joining the ACC, but declined to identify them. When asked if any other Big East members could be targets for further expansion, published reports indicate Connecticut and Rutgers could be under consideration, Swofford said “I don't think it would be appropriate for me to go there.''

Ryan Throws 4 TDs, Falcons Rally Past Eagles 35-31
the comeback with Michael Turner breaking off a 61-yard run, then powering over from the 3 with 4:48 remaining. Turner finished with 114 yards on 21 carries. “It was a wild one, for sure, but we hung in there,” Ryan said. Vick threw for a pair of touchdowns for the Eagles (1-1) but couldn't go on after getting spun by a Falcons rusher into one of his own players, right tackle Todd Herremans. No. 7 staggered to the sideline and Mike Kafka came in for the first game of his two-year career. Vince Young, normally the backup, was inactive because of a hamstring injury. Now, the Eagles have to worry about Vick's health, though he was cleared to travel with the team back to Philadelphia. “I know Mike is upset,'' Kafka said. “When you're hit like that, you can't do anything about it. It's out of his control.'' Kafka did a good job in a tough situation, guiding the Eagles down the field on a potentially winning drive in the closing minutes. But on fourth down from Atlanta's 22, Jeremy Maclin dropped a pass over the middle that would have kept it going. The buildup for the primetime contest was one of the biggest in years for a regularseason game in Atlanta. Many

fans in the sellout crowd wore Vick's old No. 7 jersey from his Falcons days, but plenty broke out Ryan's No. 2. In some ways, it seemed like a head-to-head matchup _ even though they were never on the field at the same time. Vick was the one-of-a-kind quarterback who put the Falcons on the NFL map before he was caught running a dogfighting operation, sending him to prison. Banished by the Falcons, he revitalized his career in Philadelphia and took over as the starter last season. He re-
ACC Adds Pittsburgh, Syracuse From Big East By Joedy McCreary

President Susan Herbst said in a statement that realignment speculation “is not close to being over, so we need to have some patience. “UConn is a proud charter member of the BIG EAST and we have taken a lead role in the league's success over the years,'' she said. “However, it is my responsibility as President that we stay in constant communication and be actively involved in discussions with our counterparts from around the country to ensure the successful long-term future of our university's athletic program.'' Texas A&M already has announced its intention to join the Southeastern Conference, leaving the future of the Big 12 in doubt. And the board of regents at Oklahoma and Texas are meeting Monday to discuss the possibility of the universities leaving that conference. The ACC said its invitations were issued after Pittsburgh and Syracuse submitted letters of application to join the league. It is unclear when the schools will begin competing in the league, with Swofford saying “we will fully respect the bylaws of the Big East Conference'' and that “whatever fits within those bylaws is when we would expect them to join the Atlantic Coast Conference.'' The Big East's exit fee is $5 million, and schools wanting to leave must provide 27 months' notice. “The Big East has been Pitt's conference home for nearly 30 years. It has been a good home that we will leave with many fond memories and many strong friendships,'' Pitt chancellor Mark Nordenberg said on the call. “All of us are committed to working with (Big East commissioner John Marinatto) to make this a smooth transition.'' Swofford said adding two schools allows the league to renegotiate its 12-year, $1.86 billion television contract that began this season, “and we're confident that will have a positive impact.'' The moves also raise the possibility that the ACC basketball tournament could add to its rotation Madison Square Garden, the longtime site of the Big East's tournament. Atlanta
is hosting the tournament this season before it is scheduled to return to Greensboro, N.C., from 2013-15. “I don't think there's any question that taking a look at New York and Madison Square Garden would be very appealing for Atlantic Coast Conference basketball fans, and even moreso now with even more teams in closer proximity,'' Swofford said. “With that being the media center of the world, so to speak, we'd probably be remiss if we didn't think of it in those terms.'' Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski called the moves “a real coup for the ACC,'' and Duke athletic director Kevin White said Pitt and Syracuse “provide the best fit _ at the right time — for the ACC.'' Swofford confirmed that the ACC unanimously approved raising the exit fee to approximately $20 million _ up from $12 million to $14 million _ for any member leaving the conference, a maneuver seemingly designed to keep the remaining ACC schools in the fold. “I look at that, as I think our presidents do, as actually a show of solidarity and confidence in each other,'' Swofford said, “but it's also set in terms of what we think, in losing a member, the various tangible and intangible costs may be.'' The latest moves are sure to create even more bad blood between two conferences that became embroiled in a nasty lawsuit the last time the ACC expanded by adding schools from the Big East. A multibillion-dollar settlement reached in 2005 included the scheduling of nine interconference football games. “I think we certainly expect that there will be collegial treatment,'' Syracuse Chancellor and President Nancy Cantor said. Pitt and Syracuse bring the number of programs making the Big East-to-ACC jump in the past decade to five. Syracuse was one of the original targets of a previous round of expansion by the ACC along with Miami and Boston College in 2003. The ACC ultimately added the Hurricanes and Virginia Tech for the 2004 season and brought in BC for the following season as its 12th member.
turned to Atlanta once before, as a backup in 2009, but this was different. “I feel for him,'' Maclin said. “Obviously, he wanted to come home and make a statement.'' Ryan insisted that he never paid much attention to the other team's quarterback. He's already led the Falcons to a pair of playoff appearances, making it much easier for Vick's fans to move on. “Not being here when he was here, not playing with him,” Ryan said, “I couldn't allow myself to get caught up in
those things.” They even gave each other a hug in the center of the field after both came out as captains for the coin toss. “Hopefully he's OK,” Ryan said. “You never like to see anybody go down.” Vick has said before the game that he wouldn't make any Deion Sanders-like pronouncements about the Georgia Dome being “my house.'' He certainly couldn't after fumbling twice and throwing an interception, the Falcons turning two of those mistakes into touchdowns. Still, Vick had seemingly done enough before he wobbled off. Kafka came on and handed off to LeSean McCoy, who scored his second touchdown on a 2-yard run with 1:59 left in the third quarter. McCoy had 95 yards on 18 carries. But Ryan and the Falcons hung in there, even though the quarterback was sacked four more times after taking five in a 30-12 loss at Chicago to open the season. “You just keep getting up,'' Ryan said. “There's a lot of tough guys on this football team and I try and stay in line with those guys and just keep bouncing up.'' There were plenty of big hits, most notably a shot by Atlanta cornerback Dunta Robinson
on an Eagles receiver for the second year in a row. Last year, Robinson knocked out himself and DeSean Jackson with a brutal collision. This time, the defensive back leveled Maclin with a shot that drew a flag for slamming into a defenseless player with a helmet-first shot in the third quarter. Smith disputed it was illegal hit, saying “that's the way we teach it,'' but the NFL could dole out a suspension after it reviews the play. Maclin went to the sideline to be checked but wasn't out for long. Robinson insisted he did nothing wrong. “It definitely wasn't a dirty hit,'' the cornerback said. “I'm not a dirty player.'' Gonzalez's first TD catch was a thing of beauty _ perhaps one of the best he's ever made. In the back of the end zone, he reached up to snare the ball with his right hand and brought it down to his body just as he dragged a second foot inbounds “I knew I had the catch,'' said Gonzalez, who now has 1,081 career receptions. “I didn't know if I had the feet down.'' Vick completed 19 of 28 for 242 yards, also going to Maclin on a 5-yard touchdown. In addition, the quarterback ran six times for 25 yards. It wasn't enough. He's just a visitor now.
Mariano Rivera Sets Saves Mark Contributed Article Associated Press
NEW YORK — Mariano Rivera stood by himself, in the center of the diamond at Yankee Stadium. For once, the great closer wasn't sure what to do next. So he smiled, blew a kiss to the crowd, and then doffed his cap as cheers washed over him following the record 602nd save of his career. "Oh, my God, for the first time in my career, I'm on the mound alone," Rivera said. "It was priceless. I didn't know it could be like that." Rivera pitched a perfect ninth inning, striking out Chris Parmelee on what appeared to be his signature cut fastball to end the New York Yankees' 6-4 win over the Minnesota Twins on Monday. Fans from the smallest crowd in the Stadium's three-year history stood and shouted from Rivera's first pitch to his last as he retired Trevor Plouffe, Michael Cuddyer and Parmelee in order and broke Trevor Hoffman's mark. They even roared in the bottom of the eighth when Nick Swisher grounded into an inning-ending double play — and drew a loud cheer from fans who wanted to see history made at the ballpark for the second time this summer. In July, Derek Jeter got his 3,000th hit at home. "These guys are into it," Rivera thought to himself. It's a remarkable achievement, considering the slender right-hander throws mostly one pitch. Opposing hitters have seen it for years, but still haven't figured it out. "It's amazing," Cuddyer said. "You've got a 99 percent chance of knowing what's coming, and he still is able to go out there and dominate." So good for so long, Rivera has built a Hall of Fame-caliber career and been a pillar of five World Series championship teams. The only person who might not acknowledge Rivera isn't the best closer of all time is Rivera himself. "You know me, I'm not like that," Rivera said. "I like to be under the radar, do my job."
He nearly did it outside the country. The 41-year-old Rivera tied Hoffman with save No. 601 on Saturday in Toronto. The AL East leaders lost Sunday, putting Rivera in line to get the milestone in the Yankees' last homestand of the season. Hoffman earned most of his saves with San Diego and retired after pitching last year with Milwaukee. "I want to congratulate Mariano Rivera on setting the all-time saves record," Hoffman said in a statement. "It's a great accomplishment and he is still going strong! I have tremendous respect for Mariano not just for his on-field accomplishments, but also for his service to the community." On Monday, the crowd hollered as Rivera came in to his customary of "Enter Sandman." The fans grew louder with every strike, every out as Rivera closed in. He even broke a bat for good measure — sawing off Parmelee and sending the rookie back to the dugout for another piece of wood. Parmelee lasted only one more pitch. Plate umpire John Hirschbeck rung him up, and catcher Russell Martin came out to the mound, gently placed the ball in Rivera's glove, and then gave the skinny Panamanian a big hug. Rivera stayed and accepted congratulations — Alex Rodriguez, Mark Teixeira and finally Jeter came over to him before the bullpen and bench got there while the Twins watched from their dugout. "I think it shows what he means to baseball, what he's done," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "I also think it shows the class of the Minnesota Twins." Eventually, the Twins went back to their lockers and the Yankees did, too. That meant Rivera was left on the mound. He tried to sneak off the field with them, but longtime teammate Jorge Posada pushed him, laughing, onto the mound, where fans cheered him once again. And who would've thought it, at least back in 1995 when Rivera started out. He began his career as a starter, lasting only 3 1/3 innings and losing 10-0 to the Angels in his debut, before becoming a star
in the bullpen. Rivera's 602 saves have come in 674 chances. Hoffman got his 601 in 677 tries. Paid attendance was 40,045, less than the capacity crowd and attendant hullabaloo surrounding Jeter's historic hit. STATS LLC said Monday's makeup game drew the fewest fans since the new Yankee Stadium opened. "Thank God it's over, too. Because I was getting a little uncomfortable," Rivera said. New York now has another goal before heading to Tampa Bay to close the season: winning the division. The Yankees lead Boston by 5½ games with 10 to play. The Twins lost their ninth straight, tying a run in May as their worst of the season. The Yankees have been struggling, too — this was just their fifth win in 12 games. Rivera has finished their last three victories, though. He earned his 600th save in Seattle on Sept. 13. Now that the milestone is behind him, Rivera can focus on getting ready for his 16th October in 17 seasons — that's when he really made his reputation. Those 602 saves don't count any of the 42 wins — in 47 chances — he locked down in the playoffs. A.J. Burnett didn't make it past the fifth inning, but Cory Wade (6-1), Boone Logan, Rafael Soriano and David Robertson kept the Twins at bay until Rivera came on in the ninth, and Curtis Granderson hit his 41st homer of the year. Granderson's homer off Scott Diamond (1-5) came in the first after Jeter reached on an infield single and Robinson Cano hit an RBI triple in the third followed by Swisher's single to make it 5-0. Rodriguez hit a two-out RBI single in the sixth — right around the time Rivera was realizing he could be called on in the ninth. As he has been since he got his first save on May 17, 1996, Mo was ready in the ninth. The only thing he wasn't quite set for was the spotlight. "Don't get me wrong, it feels good," Rivera said. "The reception was wonderful. I could not ask for anything more than that."

season didn't end well, as the Bills finished with a 7-9 record. And if Buffalo needs any reminders of how much it still has to prove, the New England Patriots (2-0) come to town next weekend seeking to extend their 15-game winning streak over their AFC East rivals. It's a different story for the Raiders (1-1), who took a step back in failing to build off of last week's 23-20 win at Denver. In blowing a chance to open 2-0 for the first time since 2002, the Raiders' defense wilted over the final 30 minutes, and against an op-
ponent that last year scored 20 or more points in a game four times. “Not a whole lot to say other than that effort isn't going to be good enough,'' defensive tackle Richard Seymour said. “We didn't seem to give the offense any help in the second half. That's on us. It isn't good enough.'' The 38 points were the most allowed by Oakland in a loss since a 43-37 defeat to Seattle in 1998. And the Raiders allowed 481 yards, 326 in the second half, and 34 first downs. “Good job by them, bad job by us,'' Raiders coach Hue Jackson said. “When it's all said and

done, we did not finish the game.'' Penalties played a factor. The Raiders had eight for 85 yards against Buffalo after being flagged 15 times for 131 yards against the Broncos. And cornerback Chris Johnson had a chance to seal the win two plays before Nelson's touchdown. Johnson got both hands on a pass intended for Donald Jones in the end zone, only to have the ball bounce away. “The game would've been over,'' Johnson said. “I take this loss for the team today.'' The Oakland offense clicked except for a spotty third quarter in which Darren McFadden lost a fumble that helped set up Stevie Johnson's 7-yard touchdown catch that cut the lead to 21-17. McFadden scored twice, and combined for 143 yards from scrimmage. Jason Campbell went 23 of 33 for 323 yards and two touchdowns. Campbell nearly pulled out a victory on the final play. From his own 44, he threw a desperation pass into the end zone, that was intercepted by rookie cornerback Da'Norris Searcy, who outwrestled receiver Denarius Moore for the ball. The play was so close referee Mike Carey returned to the field 10 minutes after the game was over to announce to a near-empty stadium that a replay review had confirmed the interception. Searcy certainly wasn't going to let anyone take the interception away, and was unhappy to learn the officials even reviewed it. “Once I grabbed it, I told myself nobody's going grab it away from me,'' Searcy said.

McKenna Leads Bona Golf At Leo Keenan Invitational
Contributed Article
St. Bonaventure Sports Information
Spearheaded by a 1-under 69 from junior Brian McKenna, the St. Bonaventure golf team moved from fifth place following the first round to a third-place finish on Monday at the 23rd Annual Leo Keenan Invitational. Robert Morris won the invite for the second time in its history, finishing with a Keenan record 571 two-day total. After shooting a 285 on Sunday, the Colonials followed up with a 286 on Monday to break the previous record of 575, held by St. Bonaventure and Drexel in 2005. Humber, a Canadian school, checked in second with a 586, while the Bonnies finished three shots off that pace with a 589, three clear of fourthplace Drexel. After opening with an uncharacteristic 7-over 77 on day one of the invite, McKenna rebounded on day two as he tied
for the second-lowest round of the day. The Rochester, N.Y. native finished tied for 10th overall – the lowest individual on the Bona roster. Senior Kevin Lewis paced the Brown and White on Sunday with a 1-over 71, and on Monday struggled in cool, windy and damp conditions to shoot a 76 and finish tied for 12th overall with a two-day total of 147. That number was matched by sophomore Chris Mackey who had a breakthrough tournament. The Bradford, Pa. native fired rounds of 73 and 74 on Sunday and Monday, respectively, to tie with Lewis as the second-lowest Bonnie. Junior Greg Horvath was two
shots off Lewis's and Mackey's pace as he finished with a 149 for a tie for 20th overall. After shooting a 76 on Sunday, the Connecticut product responded with a 73 on Monday – the second-best round by a Bonaventure golfer. Sophomore and Olean native Scott Brady rounded out the Bona scoring for the tournament with an 82 on Monday, and a two-day total of 159 to tie for 47th overall. Fairmont State's Jess Ferrell won medalist honors after shooting rounds of 66 and 72 to finish with a two-day total of 138. That score is tied for the third-lowest 36-hole total by an individual in invite history. Humber's Mark Hoffman shot
day of competition. The classic does not count toward a team's overall record; however, matches do count toward players overall records. Freshman Fatya Amiri picked up her second career win — and did so in commanding fashion — with a straight-set shutout, 6-0, 6-0, over Siena's Jasleen Sandhu. The firstyear then partnered up with Amanda Pallikunnel to claim the lone Bona doubles win of the afternoon as the duo
disposed of their Siena opposition, 8-3. Also picking up wins for SBU on Sunday were Andrea Pavlovic (3-6, 6-3, 10-8) and junior Kathryn Kvas (6-0, 6-1) as both defeated players from Siena. The championship matches pitted the winners from the previous two days of action against each other. After opening the tournament on Friday against UTEP, the Bonnies battled Siena on
rounds of 72 and 67 to finish just one shot behind Ferrell. The 67 on Monday was the lowest round of the day, and is tied for the second-best final round in Keenan history. Hoffman's two-day total of 139 is tied for the fourth-best 36-hole performance with McKenna's finish at last year's invitational. Playing as individuals — meaning their scores did not factor into the overall team score for St. Bonaventure — freshmen Pierce Terrance, Daniel Dunnigan and Brian Jurkiewicz finished with twoday scores of 154, 159 and 166, respectively. The 6,308-yard Bartlett Country Club played much longer than its listed yardage on Monday as just two holes on the course played under par — the par-4 1st and the par-5 14th. St. Bonaventure returns to action this Saturday and Sunday when it travels to the Cornell Invitational at Robert Trent Jones Golf Course.

St. Bonaventure Sports Information
LORETTO, Pa. — Saint Francis (Pa.) (3-3-1) scored two goals in each half en route to a 4-0 win over St. Bonaventure (3-5) Sunday afternoon. The Red Flash got on the board relatively early as a 13th-minute tally from Kingsley McLeod put them up 1-0. A pass from Wayne Tiller through the backline of the Bona defense found McLeod. Keeper Mitchell Mack got a hand on the
ball, but it wasn't enough to prevent McLeod's first goal of the campaign. SFU added to its lead just seven minutes later when Tamas Maffey-Stumpe headed in a corner over the head of Mack. The score remained 2-0 until the 78th minute when Maffey-Stumpe tallied his second goal of the game. Tiller got his second assist of the afternoon when he sent a ball into the center of the box, and Maffey-Stumpe chipped it into the back of the net. Just more than a minute later, the Red Flash capped the scoring for the afternoon when Pablo Medina chipped a cross from Mitch Kavlick into an open right side of the net. Friday, the Bonnies lost a shortened 2-1 decision over Little Three rival Canisius. With 19:37 remaining in the game, St. Bona head coach Mel Mahler was issued a yellow card and then a subsequent red card, resulting in his ejection from the contest.
There was no assistant coach listed on the official roster, which is presented to the officials prior to the game. Because there was no assistant coach listed to replace Mahler, the officials called the game a forfeit and awarded the win to Canisius. "I just want to apologize to the players, fans and University for putting our program in a situation to cause a forfeit," Mahler said. "As I reflect back on the situation, I deeply regret having taken an opportunity away from our players to finish the match and give them every chance to find a way to win." Down 1-0 entering the second half, the Golden Griffs evened the score with a beautiful free kick piece off the foot off Gavin Falconer in the 56th minute. The junior forward bent the ball over the wall and into the top left corner of the net from just outside the top of the box for his first goal of the season. Canisius then took the lead

Champions Crowned As Eriez Speedway Ends Regular Season By Jay Pees
Contributing Writer
Hammet, Pa. — The final night for points racing was cool but sunny for fans of Eriez Speedway. Point’s championships were decided and the final features were contested. Emerging as the 2011 point’s champions were Dave Hess Jr. in the Jay’s Auto Wrecking Super Late Models, Kyle Zimmerman in the Bonnell’s Collision Center FASTRAK Late Models, Mike Knight in the Plyler Overhead Door E-Mods, Chris Ottaway in the Dan’s Rt. 8 Bar & Grill Limited Late Models, Joey Buccola Jr. in the Hunter Truck Sportsmen, Pat McGuire in the Rohrer Trucking Street Stocks, and Josh Hebner in the Kandy’s Dinner Theater Challengers. Competition was so close over the summer that two championship chases changed leaders in the final night and two titles were accomplished without the winners going to Victory Lane all season long. The first feature up was the Rohrer Trucking Street Stocks, featuring a close run for the points title with Chris Withers leading Pat McGuire by a mere 26-points headed into the final battle. Greg Fenno also had a mathematical chance of overtaking the leader, who was the defending point’s champion.
The challenger McGuire started the finale outside of Gary Fisher on the front row with Withers mired in sixth for the start. After a lap one restart, McGuire grabbed the immediate lead with Fenno coming to second. At lap three, Rush Firestone got into the rear of Withers, becoming airborne before spinning and collecting Joe Rohrer and John Phelps Jr. At the drop of the green, Firestone and Withers again got together heading into turn one with Withers winding up spinning into the infield. One lap after green, Ron Johnson spun in turn two. With no place to go, Withers hit the spinning Johnson, suffering enough damage to knock him out of the event and from the top points position. Six laps in saw several cars spin on the back straight after Ken Lamp Jr. exploded an engine. Lamp was hit by pieces of the engine and was treated at the scene. After a lengthy yellow period, the race resumed with McGuire nearly spinning in turn two, giving up the lead to Firestone. McGuire and Fenno each acquired flat left rear tires right after that. Firestone went on to the win with John Phelps Jr second, Fenno holding on for third and Mike Moon fourth. Elaine Best wound up fifth. McGuire wound up with
the point’s title. Ben Burgess Jr. took the immediate lead in the Hunter Trucking Sportsmen. The 2011 point’s champion Buccola Jr. came to second early in the race but was unable to catch Burgess, who went on to his sixth win of the season. Following Buccola to the line was Wade Watson, Clint Brady, and Norm Kloszewski. Second-generation drivers Chris McGuire and Steve Kania led the early laps of the Dan’s Rt. 8 Boardwalk Bar & Grill Limited Late Model feature with Tyler Green gaining the runner-up position after a lap six restart. Kania grabbed the spot back on a lap eight restart with Bob Rohrer getting by Green for third. With three laps remaining Rohrer and Kania got together in turn four with both spinning to the infield but Kania not stopping. For the final three lap dash it was McGuire in front with Green and Ottaway, looking for his first Championship, following. The top three remained in that order with Kania getting fourth and Ryan Scott coming across the line fifth. Despite having no feature wins, Chris Ottaway parlayed consistent high finishes into the point’s title over Scott, who had five feature wins on the season, including a stretch of four in a row.

Local Gymnasts Join In On Breaking World Record For Simultaneous Handstands Contributed Article Stroup’s Gym
INDIANAPOLIS — 20,478 gymnasts and fans from more than 100 gymnastics clubs nationwide joined together on Sept. 17 to break the world record for most handstands performed simultaneously and bring the title back to the United States. At precisely 1 p.m. EST, 20,478 of participants throughout the country kicked up into a handstand to break the existing record of 2,402, set by Australian gymnasts in Melbourne to promote the 2005 World Gymnastics Championships. “We originally set the record of 1,072, here in Indianapolis, in July 2005 as part of the run-up to the 2005 Visa Championships,” said Steve Penny, president of USA Gymnastics. “Bringing the title back to the USA is a great way to celebrate National Gymnastics Day across the U.S. and help build awareness and support for gymnastics.” Each year, USA Gymnastics celebrates National

Since 2001, gymnastics clubs across the country have raised more than $1.4 million for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. The clubs have until Nov. 9 to raise and submit their funds for this year. Along with the support of the individual gymnastics clubs, the Governors of Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Nevada and Texas proclaimed today, Septem-

Locally, seven girls from Stroup’s Gymnastics in Jamestown, simultaneously participated in the event. “We were very pleased to play a small part in bringing back the record to the USA, to raise awareness of the sport, and to help the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals,” Karen Stroup said.
Watson started the Plyler Overhead Door E-Mod feature with Joel Watson looking for the point’s title. Watson held an 89-point edge over Mike Knight, who in turn one was 16 points ahead of Dave Hess Jr. At the end of one lap Southwell and Watson were near even at the line with Southwell just barely in the lead. Then, in turns one and two, seven cars piled up, bringing yellow over the speedway. Among the cars involved was Dave Hess Jr., who suffered enough damage to knock him out of the point’s race. For the restart Southwell was the leader with Watson and Chad Carlson behind him. At the end of one lap of green flag racing Watson was again alongside Southwell but still barely trailed. Josh McDonald then spun in turn one, bringing yellow again over the speedway and again knocking Watson to the row behind Southwell for the restart. When the field got to turn one after green Southwell spun to the infield for caution number three. Watson was deemed at fault and sent to the rear for the restart. Chad Carlson was now the leader with Scott Gurdak second and Steve Simon third. Only one more lap of green before the next caution. The championship chase took on a new tone
when Watson came to a halt with a flat tire at lap five. Up front Gurdak and Carlson were waging a side-by-side battle for the lead when a debris caution slowed the field at lap eight. At halfway Ruhlman made his presence known making it a three-way fight for the lead. When caution again flew a lap past halfway, Gurdak was the leader with Ruhlman second and Carlson third. Using the high side Ruhlman was coming by Gurdak just as caution again flew, this time for the slowing car of Greg Johnson. More yellows slowed the field but Gurdak, the 2007 track champion, went on to his first win of the season over Mike Kinney, Brian Ruhlman, Mike Knight, and Chad Carlson. With his fourth place finish Knight moved ahead of Watson for the point’s title. Sixteen Bonnell Collision Center FASTRAK Late Models took the green flag with point’s leader Kyle Zimmerman taking the lead at the start and Chad Wright coming to second. Six-time winner Max Blair was second at the end of seven laps. Blair, who started ninth, restarted alongside Zimmerman after a lap seven restart for a spin by Justin Kreider. Blair immediately assumed the lead after green but Zimmerman held on for second. At eleven laps Zimmerman pulled off
the track with mechanical problems. Blair went on to the win over Chad Wright, Billy Henry, Damien Bidwell, and Bob Rohrer. Point’s leader Dave Hess Jr. started the Jay’s Auto Wrecking Super Late Model feature from the pole with Doug Eck alongside. Eck shot out to the early lead with Hess right behind. After a caution for a spin to the infield by the most recent winner Greg Oakes, Hess rode the cushion until losing it in turn four, collecting Matt Urban in the process. Eck led after green with John Lobb nipping on his heels early. At lap 18, after trying inside and outside lines, Lobb finally got by on the high side. Two laps later Andy Boozel got by for second. At the finish it was Lobb for his second win of the year over a hard charging Boozel. Davis nipped Eck at the line for third with Mike Knight fifth. Hess Jr prevailed for the Super Late Model point’s championship over Mike Knight. The final regular racing event of the year was the Kandy’s Dinner Theater Challengers. At the end of the event, Don Hebner stood in Victory Lane for the third time this season while his brother Josh, with a runner-up finish, sealed the point’s title for the second consecutive year. Wes Stull finished out the season with a third place run.

By RICK MINTER / The Atlanta Journal-Constitution NOTEBOOK
Waltrip Racing courts Bowyer When Carl Edwards re-upped with Roush Fenway Racing, the No. 1 NASCAR free agent status shifted over to Clint Bowyer, who apparently won’t follow Edwards’ lead and stay with his current team. All signs point to Bowyer leaving Richard Childress Racing, his only employer since joining the NASCAR circuit. Richard Petty Motorsports announced last week that it had withdrawn its offer to Bowyer, but Michael Waltrip Racing remains in the running. Some say Joe Gibbs Racing is a possibility as well. Waltrip issued a statement last Friday saying he was pursuing Bowyer. “I can confirm we have had very productive conversations with Clint and a quality sponsor,” Waltrip said. “However, we don’t have anything finalized, and we’re not in a position to make any formal announcements.” He said hiring a driver like Bowyer has long been a part of his team’s strategy. “Pursuing Chase-proven personnel, including drivers, has been a priority,” he said.

Kev’s kind of town
Chicago vaults Harvick to points lead in opening Chase contest Chase contenders following the Sprint Cup Geico 400 at Chicagoland Speedway 1. Kevin Harvick (finished second) 2,054; Leader With the race boiling down to a fuel mileage contest, and most figuring he would run dry before the finish, Harvick and his team decided to gamble and run hard at the end. It paid off as he took over the points lead. 2. Tony Stewart (finished first) 2,047; behind -7 A year ago, he was leading the Chase opener, at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, on the last lap and ran out of fuel. This year’s Chase opener also came down to a fuel-mileage contest, but this time Stewart had plenty in the tank and won the race, moving from ninth to second in the standings heading into Sunday’s race at New Hampshire. 3. Carl Edwards (finished fourth) 2,044; behind -10 He said he believes he and his team are on a roll that began even before the start of the Chase. “It’s a great finish and a good start to the Chase,” he said. “Now we can go to Loudon and run like we did at Richmond.” 4. Kurt Busch (finished sixth) 2,043; behind -11 His run at Chicagoland showed that the
two-car Dodge contingent can be players in the Chase. He led a race-high 64 laps and was still running at the finish of a gas-mileage contest. 5. Dale Earnhardt Jr. (finished third) 2,041; behind -13 The driver many have predicted will be a non-factor in the Chase made a great leap in the standings at Chicagoland by stretching his fuel to the end and finishing a strong third, which vaulted him up five spots in the standings. 6. Brad Keselowski (finished fifth) 2,040; behind -14 Since breaking his ankle while testing at Road Atlanta, he’s become one of the hottest drivers in the Cup Series. His top-five finish at Chicagoland shows that a wild-card driver can contend for the title. 7. Ryan Newman (finished eighth) 2,040; behind -14 He and his Tony Gibson-led crew may be the dark horse team in this year’s Chase. He’s been consistent all year and now is headed to one of his best tracks, New Hampshire Motor Speedway. 8. Jimmie Johnson (finished 10th) 2,038; behind -16 The five-time and defending Sprint Cup champion was poised to finish in the top three, but he also ran out of fuel at the fin-
ish. Still, he salvaged a top-10 finish.
Ryan Truex, the 19-year-old brother of Sprint Cup veteran Martin Truex Jr., is making the most of his new job at Joe Gibbs Racing. Since joining Gibbs’ No. 20 Nationwide team, Truex has qualified fourth twice and 10th once, and he finished 11th at Atlanta, fourth at Richmond and 13th at Chicagoland. At Richmond he had to start in the back because of ignition problems, and at Chicagoland he had to come back from a Lap 7 encounter with Aric Almirola. His Chicagoland comeback was hampered by the fact that the race saw long green-flag runs, which offered few opportunities to regain the lost spots. “Everything is working right,” Truex said in his post-race comments. “[The Gibbs teams] have fast cars every weekend. I just need to not start off these races with such bad luck. Last week it was the ignition. This week we spun out … We should have finished at least top10.”
9. Kyle Busch (finished 22nd) 2,035; behind -19 The points leader entering the Chase dropped eight spots in the opener. He led once for seven laps, but it wasn’t a typical Kyle Busch performance. 10. Matt Kenseth (finished 21st) 2,030; behind -24 For 266 of 267 laps in the Chase opener, he put on a championship-like performance, starting on the pole and running up front throughout the race. But his finish didn’t reflect that as he ran out of fuel at the finish and was penalized for getting a push. 11. Jeff Gordon (finished 24th) 2,029; behind -25 The driver many picked to win it all this year got behind in the opener, dropping eight positions, largely due to unusual wear on his right-front tire. His disappointing finish ended a stretch that saw him contending for victory three straight weeks. 12. Denny Hamlin (finished 31st) 2,013; behind -41 Last year’s Chase runner-up got a lap down early and never really recovered. It was another disappointment for the driver many predicted would be Johnson’s greatest challenger this year.

At Chicago, pre-race questions focus on Menard spin in Richmond Much of the pre-race media interview session at Chicagoland Speedway last Friday centered around whether Paul Menard intentionally spun in the late stages of the previous race, at Richmond International Raceway, to give his Richard Childress Racing teammate Kevin Harvick a chance to overtake race leader Jeff Gordon. Gordon did end up losing the lead to eventual winner Harvick after the Menard spin, and he told reporters that he’d been told there was some suspicious radio traffic on Menard’s channel just prior to his spin into the grass between the frontstretch and pit road. Menard and his team have said Menard did not spin intentionally. NASCAR officials looked into the matter and said there was no evidence the spin was intentional. Dale Earnhardt Jr. said it’s not unreasonable to have teammates wanting to help each other. “We’re all human beings,” he said. “Things will happen and things do happen and things like that probably do go on. As long as human beings are involved, there will be a certain level of corruption.” He was asked if he’d ever done anything debatable to help a teammate, but his answer left some room for interpretation. “I can’t say that I’ve ever done anything compared to what Jeff [Gordon] was insinuating in his comments.” Earnhardt said. “But, I’ve tried to help myself out by bringing out a caution so maybe that is about the same thing I guess. I got in trouble though. “If you do anything like that, you just can’t admit it.” Ryan Newman said there are certain situations where it’s tempting to deliberately spin out. “One time I had a tire that went down, and the

Paul Menard signs autographs during practice for last month’s Good Sam RV Insurance 500 at Pocono Raceway. (NASCAR photo) smart thing to do was to spin it out and that benefitted me at the same time, but it was the safest thing to do,” he said. “So, I think everybody has always contemplated it at different times. NASCAR, at places like Richmond, you’ve seen them penalize guys for stopping on the race track; causing the caution, even if they don’t spin out.” Newman said there are questions raised any time a teammate’s actions on the track end up benefiting
their teammate. “I will definitely say that when you’re having a bad day and the way this sport works with teammates, there are times when you think about it,” he said. “And it’s never the right thing to do.” For Gordon’s part, he seemed ready to put the issue behind him and get on with the Chase. “As far as I’m concerned, it’s just something that NASCAR can deal with,” he said.

Forte By Dusten Rader Entertainment Editor
In music Forte means loud or strong and the food at Jamestown’s Forte is an equivalent to that description. It offers patrons a dining experience that links itself directly to the events at Reg Lenna Civic Center. Being next door to the center guests can stop in before or after to enjoy a meal that is representative of the restaurant’s name. Forte was originally opened in 2004 by Todd Singleton who owned Liberty Street Cafe in Warren PA. He ran it for two years until Peggy Kaltenmeier and Ian Anderson moved to Jamestown and took ownership of the restaurant in 2006. “It was perfect timing,” said Kaltenmeier. “We were working for Todd and he was busy running two other restaurants and just had a baby. Ian is a great chef and I am used to running front house so we figured why not take a chance. The business was already established and had a great clientele.” Before Kaltenmeier became owner the menu would change daily to whatever Todd got in or wanted to make. “It was a lot of fun,” said Kaltenmeier. “But, the clients have certain expectations when they dine out. They find something on the menu they really like and they want that every time they come in. You find your favorite and your niche. I feel there is a smaller percentage of people who are up for an absolute culinary adventure. But, for a certain population of Jamestown it worked very well and we were able to use that as a springboard to build a menu that was steady.” Now instead of having changes to the menu daily it changes

every six months. Having a seasonal transition still keeps the regulars excited but also caters to the clients who like seeing new things appear on the menu. “I like to think of it as giving customers a new map every six months to figure out where they want to live for a while,” said Kaltenmeier. Julie Scheira is the new head chef that replaced Ian Anderson. She is originally from Jamestown and went to school in Pennsylvania. She’s cooked at many places in the area including Hutch’s in Buffalo and Tempo as well. “When the position opened here she was excited about the opportunity,” said Kaltenmeier. “And, its been a fantastic fit ever since. I think her food is
very flavorful, concentrated and has a clean presentation that I really appreciate.” Server Matthew Coan and Grill master Mike Conroe are also integral members of the staff. Coan works on all the design work like ads and the menu. Conroe is the grill master. He is in charge of the massive amount of steaks that leave the kitchen. The dining experience at Forte is a unique mix of many flavors. Kaltenmeier describes the cuisine at Forte as ‘eclectic American.’ The staff at Forte have certain flavors and ethnic foods that they really enjoy and want to share with people. The cuisines range from Thai, Indian, Mediterranean, South American, Mexican and more. “There is a lot of ethnic food

that isn’t available around here on a regular basis,” said Kaltenmeier. “It might seem like a weird combination, like how can you have Bruschetta and Sushi on the same table when you’re dining out. But, I think it works for us. Especially for larger groups. You can make more people happy with a larger variety of foods.” One of the unique menu items that can’t be found at many places in the area is the Sushi. Roger Rhinehart is the chef who prepares the Sushi dishes. There are at least 23 options to choose from. One of the best sellers is the Coconut Shrimp Sushi Roll that includes tempura battered fried shrimp rolled inside out and surrounded by a sweet fried coating of coconut flakes. But the number one seller is the Pacific Rim Tuna
Crisps. This dish features sliced sesame crusted seared tuna served atop crisped wonton chips, cilantro lime Asian slaw and a duo of Wasabi cream and Hoisin sauces. “It’s a large sushi menu,” said Kaltenmeier. “There is a lot of repetition of ingredients but it’s put together in ways that might not be expected at a normal sushi place.” One page of the menu features traditional options like the California and Philly Roll. But, the specialty section features rolls that were designed by each one of the employees. “It’s like an extension of ingredients and preparation that we like and us trying to share that with the customer,” said Continued on page 7

Forte By Dusten Rader Entertainment Editor
When looking for a good place to enjoy a drink while in downtown Jamestown look no further than Forte. Whether attending an event at the Reg Lenna Civic Center or just out for a night on the town, Forte is a place that guests will want to keep coming back to. Forte offers guests a casual atmosphere in a upscale environment. There is no dress code but if guests want to dress up they can because the atmosphere lends to either. “We just want people to come in have a good time and feel comfortable,” said owner Peggy Kaltenmeier. There is a steak and beer special at the lounge to bring people in more frequently. It is a sirloin special that can only be ordered at the bar. It includes an 8 ounce steak with mashed potatoes, salad, bread bowl and a beer for $12. “The special really helped us build a relationship with our customers,” said Kaltenmeier. “We would see people ever week or two as opposed to once a year for their birthday or anniversary. It let us reach out the community a little more. Which is good because I’d rather see people more often.” Southern Tier Brewery is the local beer on tap all the time. There is also a specialty drink called the Fortini, it is a champagne based drink with liquors. Plus, there is an extensive wine menu featuring both local and world class wines. Merritt Estate’s Bella Rosa is one of the featured local wines. There are also Finger Lakes region wines as well. Tuesday nights are great nights to stop in for wine and dinner because with each entree bottles are half off. Kaltenmeier and her staff are

also available to help guests pair drinks with their dinner. “We’re all familiar with the food and the wines so we can definitely help with pairing,” she said. Forte is a casual bar with

Mojo’s of Jamestown By Dusten Rader Entertainment Editor
For the last seven years Mojo’s of Jamestown has been an integral part of the music scene in Chautauqua County. Owner Gib Taylor started the venue unaware of how popular it would become. Today, it plays host to about 100 shows a year for both local and nationally touring acts and has evolved into a staple of the community. Taylor bought the building about 13 years ago and leased it to a tenant for a few years before deciding it wasn’t turning into the place he wanted it to be. “I never wanted to own a bar,” said Taylor. “But, I thought it is a bar, so why not let it be what it is.” That’s when Taylor began thinking about the type of bar he wanted to have. So, he considered the options by looking at what was already available in the area. “I didn’t want to be in competition with all the other bars in the area,” said Taylor. “There were already bars who did cover music and I didn’t want a nightclub. Then I finally thought, I don’t know a ton about music but I know if I like it and I know if I don’t like it. We got a lot of musicians around here that have no place to play. And, that’s when I came up with the idea for an original music bar.” Everyone Taylor talked to about his idea thought he was out of his mind. But, he already owned the building and decided if it didn’t work out then it wouldn’t be too big of a loss. “People were telling me I was insane and that I might as well just throw the money away,” said Taylor. “But, the

more I heard people tell me I was foolish the more I thought I’m going to do it anyway.” Originally when the venue first opened Taylor was handling all the booking of the bands. He worked on it for about a year and a half until a friend of his named Matt Baxter took over the booking. “The first band we had was a band called the Koolaid Kids,” said Taylor. “They were great and for the first two years they played the holiday Christmas type show. We ended up putting their show poster on the perma board since they were the first band to play here.” The Koolaid Kids introduced Taylor to some other acts
and Myspace was also very popular at the time so bands approached Taylor there as well. Eventually labels became interested in Mojos because Jamestown is a good stop to make on the way between other cities. “We’re a cross way between New York City and Chicago, Erie and Pittsburgh and Cleaveland,” said Taylor. “Bands who were passing through started getting in touch with us wanting to play.” Local bands that didn’t play cover and didn’t have much experience started noticing the venue as well. For the first few years any local band that wanted to play got primary first pick on the nights and if a band came from out of town they got to play with the local
band. For the first year Mojo’s had more than 70 bands play. The following year there were 100 bands. That number grew even further the next year when over 160 musical acts came through. “That was about the time Baxter came on,” said Taylor. “It kind of blew up from there.” According to Baxter, he became involved with Mojo’s sort of by accident. He had no intention of being on the booking side of the music business because he was more interested in finding places for his own band to play. But, he was tending bar at Mojo’s when a friend of his needed help booking a Sunday show for an out of town band. “I didn’t know if anyone would come out for an outof-town act that no one from the area had likely ever heard of, but they did and it was great,” said Baxter. “This was long before we had a stage or a sound guy, and bands would set up and play on the floor by the door. My own band (Thee Audience) was pretty hot in Buffalo at the time so when word got out that we were having shows, I started
bringing bands over from Buffalo. From there I reached out to some Chicago labels and bands. Next thing you know, bands are flooding my email trying to set something up. So we had to expand and build a stage. And, we’ve had no shortage of amazing bands playing on any given weekend ever since.” One of Baxter’s goals has been to try to offer locals something different that they might not hear or see anywhere else in town. There are always cover bands playing all over town, but there really wasn’t a venue for original bands. “I think people know they are going to get something unique every time they come in,” said Baxter. “We’ve been fortunate enough to have some really great national bands, several of whom would go on to break big and appear on late shows such as Conan O’brien. Ra Ra Riot coming to Jamestown was a big turning point for us. We’ve also had bands from places all over the world such as Ireland, England, Italy, Continued on page 11

Sweden, Japan, even Saudi Arabia. As well as a host of amazing local talent, which there is never a shortage of. We also wound up with the best sound tech in the whole area, Bob Priest. It’s nice to be able to expose people to bands they might have otherwise never heard, and put bands in front of a crowd who appreciates them.” After working at Mojo’s for six years Baxter is appreciative of his experience with Gib and Missy Taylor. “They have been great to me over the past six years that I’ve been with Mojo’s,” he said. “As long as people continue to support original music, we will continue to do our part for the music scene. We don’t plan on going anywhere anytime soon.”
Because of Baxter’s great ability to book musicians Taylor has had the opportunity to meet many bands. One of his favorites that keeps coming back is Breaking Laces from New York City. “We’ve ended up getting a lot of bands that are well known,” said Taylor. “Then bands from other countries started wanting to play here too.” A flood of bands from Canada began coming in. But, they came from even further than that as well. A band named Volunteering Mother Earth came from all the way from Japan to play at Mojo’s. Plus, a band named Alice Underground came from Italy. A band that was very memorable for Taylor was Stand from Dublin Ireland.
“They had played a show in Toronto the night before and they wanted to have a show in the U.S. before going back to Ireland,” said Taylor. “They came in on a huge tour bus and had their own sound guy who had thousands of dollars worth of equipment. I had known nothing about them but they played for one hour and it was amazing. I ended up buying their CD because I thought they were so cool. I thought it was a fluke that they played here but then a year and a half later Baxter told me that they wanted to come back.” Being a tiny bar in Jamestown N.Y. Taylor didn’t expect to be getting the volume of musicians interested in playing at Mojo’s. He attributes the success to Baxter and his sound guy Bob Priest. “Bob Priest is probably the best sound guy anywhere around here,” said Taylor. “He is just amazing and he makes the bands sound great.” Taylor believes another reason for the success is that the bands who play at Mojo’s are treated with a great amount of respect. “We treat everyone like they are the next rockstars,” said
Taylor. “We try to make them comfortable and have fun. We want them to be able to do what they do.” The experience at Mojo’s doesn’t stop with the music. Guests can also enjoy a full bar with specials that are set up by Taylor’s wife Missy. There is also a menu full of items to satisfy many a craving while enjoying a cold drink. The atmosphere at Mojo’s is also a huge part of the experience. The bar is lined with posters from past shows and dollar bills signed by bands and locals alike. The walls are covered with random items donated by regulars and locals who call Mojo’s their second home. Running Mojo’s is a huge project that requires a lot of work from a lot of people. But, it isn’t Taylor’s only job. During the day he is a Juvenile Probation Officer. He believes that if kids are given something productive to do they will get into less trouble. “If you keep kids active in sports, music, painting, skateboarding or anything,” said Taylor. “They are less likely to get in and stay in trouble. So, as a business I can donate money to support programs that keep kids active.”
11
One of those programs that Taylor supports is Infinity Performing Arts. He has been a member of the board and is also involved in the Chautauqua Region Word’s Local Music Showcase. The showcase is an event that happens every year and is organized by Infinity. It promotes local musicians and their work by booking venues all over Chautauqua County for one weekend. All the proceeds from the event benefit Infinity Performing Arts and its programs. “I knew we had to help local musicians and I knew we had to help kids,” said Taylor. “So, tying in with Infinity was a perfect fit. We as a community need to support programs like Infinity to give kids something to do.” Mojo’s has become a place where locals can enjoy live original music and feel good about supporting a business that cares about the community. On any given weekend there is a show going on at Mojo’s so don’t hesitate to stop in and join the fun. “I never expected Mojo’s to blossom into what it is today,” said Taylor. “But, I’m glad that as a business we can afford to support great programs in the community and locals making original music.” Mojo’s is located at 104 East 2nd Street in Jamestown and is open from 5 p.m to 2 a.m. Monday through Saturday. For more information call 716-720-4621 or find them on facebook. The upcoming shows schedule can be found on their facebook. Shows usually start at 10 p.m. The next show features Tribraco (from Italy) with Tubax and Otis on Friday, September 23; Aqueous on Saturday, September 24 and Funknut on Friday, September 30.

What’s New at the 30th Annual Wine Festival Contributed Article Molly Renner
Get your taste buds ready, it’s time for the 30th annual Wine Festival in Grape Country North East. The festival has grown to include several new and exciting features this year, including the use of a third venue at Heard Park. For the last 29 years the festival has been in just two locations, Gravel Pit and Gibson Parks. Heard Park will feature over 30 juried artisans and handcrafters who will be exhibiting their exceptional works. On Saturday morning on Lake Street, an old tradition returns to WineFest. Bed Races took place during the festival many years ago, and this year the Chamber is bringing the tradition back. The Bed Race is a charity event where local businesses create teams, decorate beds and race for a cause. Prizes will be awarded to the most creatively decorated bed, and timed races will determine first, second and third place. This year’s Bed Race proceeds will benefit the North East Food Pantry. The event will take place on Saturday September 25 at 10:30 a.m., beginning with the Parade of Beds led by Bubba Luv and several members of the North East High School Marching Band. Another addition to the 2011 Wine Festival is the Wine Fest Stride ‘n Stomp 5K. The 5K will follow a route very
similar to that of the popular Cherry Fest 5K, through mostly shaded, quiet streets of North East. Participants will have the opportunity to stomp grapes upon completion of the race. The event will take place on Sunday September 25 at 9 a.m. Proceeds of the 5K will benefit Downtown North East, Inc. A few other new and exciting features of WineFest this year include a Fine Arts show at Parkside, a hay maze and grape stomping for children at Gibson Park, and horse-drawn wagon rides with the Debren Clydesdales downtown. Gibson Park will also offer trackless train rides on Friday and Sunday. So come join us for a grape-stomping good time at the 30th Annual Wine Festival, where there is something for everyone!

Three Broadway ‘Phantom’ Stars to Perform in Concert at SUNY Fredonia Contributed Article Doug Osborne-Coy
The 2011-12 DFT Communications Pops Series at SUNY Fredonia will open on a high note as Rockefeller Arts Center presents “Three Phantoms in Concert” on Saturday, September 24 at 8 p.m. in King Concert Hall. The concert will feature classic Broadway show tunes performed by three professional male vocalists, each of whom has performed the role of the Phantom in “The Phantom of the Opera.” “I’m particularly looking forward to this show,” Rockefeller Arts Center Director Jefferson Westwood said. “I called around the country checking references of other college and university arts centers where ‘Three Phantoms’ had played, and everyone I spoke to just raved about the show. Many people said it was the best thing they had hosted in years.”

“Three Phantoms in Concert,” which has been selling out performances across the country, highlights the vocal talents of Broadway stars Craig Schulman, Cris Groenendaal and Ted Keegan. The concert features solos, duets and trios, all from the Broadway male repertoire. In addition to popular songs from “Les Misérables,” “Miss Saigon” and “The Phantom Of The Opera,” the program also
includes numbers from “Guys and Dolls,” “Kiss Me Kate,” “Most Happy Fella,” “The Secret Garden,” “Damn Yankees,” “The Scarlet Pimpernel,” “Sweeney Todd” and many more. The driving force behind “Three Phantoms” is Mr. Schulman, who began his vocal studies at SUNY Fredonia, a fact Mr. Westwood discovered after booking the show.

“Mr. Schulman and I started emailing back and forth about some logistical details,” Mr. Westwood explained. “He ended a couple of his emails by saying ‘I am looking forward to coming back to Fredonia’ and ‘I’m looking forward to performing on the stage of King Concert Hall again.’” With his curiosity piqued, Mr. Westwood looked through the past event files for Rockefeller Arts Center, but could find no record of Mr. Schulman having performed in the pops series. He then checked to see if Mr. Schulman was a graduate of SUNY Fredonia. “I called Patty Feraldi, our director of alumni affairs, and Patty said he did not show up on the alumni data base,” Mr. Westwood said. “So when we finally spoke on the phone, I said, ‘Mr. Schulman, you have me stumped. When did you perform here before?’ Well, as it turns out, he started his undergraduate career here in the early
1970s, when Rockefeller Arts Center was still a new building and the School of Music was just starting to offer a major in voice. He had lots of leading roles, but ended up transferring to Oswego to finish his degree – which is why he was not in the alumni data base.” Tickets are available through the SUNY Fredonia Ticket Office, which is temporarily located in the modular complex in the Dods Hall lot across from the Williams Center, by phone at 673-3501 (1-866-441-4928) or online at fredonia.edu/tickets. “Three Phantoms in Concert” is one of the 17 productions comprising the 2011-12 Mix & Match season ticket plan. Season tickets are available and subscribers can save up to 25 percent off regular prices. For details, inquire at the Ticket Office. The event sponsor is Bahgat and Laurito-Bahgat, CPA’s. The concert is part of the 2011-12 Lake Shore Savings Season.
