New Leadership, Traditional Festivities 24th Annual Peek’n Peak Fall Fest ushers in new leadership and classic favorites

By Scott Wise Star News Editor

This year marks a special one for the South County’s ‘Peek’n Peak’ resort and spa. With an official change in ownership on the brink, residents can rest assured that Peek’n Peak will continue to offer many of their classic favorites, like the ever-growing ‘Fall Fest.’ Festival goers are accustomed to being able to choose a time that best suits them, in this rare festival that takes place over the course of two weekends. Beginning Saturday, Oct. 8, the Peek’n Peak Fall Fest continues on to Sunday, Oct. 9. And don’t worry if you’re out of town for the long weekend because we’re given another chance the following weekend, Oct. 15 and 16. Each of the four days will have festivities taking place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. This year’s festival, while offering the classic favorites like the vendor show and the fabulous ‘pumpkin cannon,’ will have a few changes to it. But changes go hand-in-hand when new ownership takes over. Scott Enterprises of Erie, Pa will officially take over operations at Peek’n Peak on

Friday, Sept. 30. “The Fall Fest is sort of a staple for the Peek, and they’ve done a great job of running it,” said Nick Scott, Jr., Vice President of Scott Enterprises. “We’re interested in making it as good as it has been in the past, because a lot of it was put in place before we ever got involved.”

Scott promises that festival-goers will find the same great event waiting them that they’ve grown accustomed to since the Fall Fest began in 1987. There will be plenty of things for the whole family to participate in, including a petting zoo, horse-drawn rides, pony rides, ski-life rides the renown craft show.

“The vendors really make the show,” said Scott. Also returning with a roar of horsepower is the ‘Turning Leaves Classic Car Cruise-In,’ which, is sponsored by the Southern Tier Classic Chevy

A Tour Like No Other

“A Harvest Moon Cemetery Tour” Travels Once Again In Fredonia Contributed Article Festivals Fredonia

“One of the most beautiful cemeteries in Western New York is Forest Hill...” So begins a history of the cemetery located in Fredonia. On October 14 & 15, FestivalsFredonia, noted for their “Ghost Tours,” will host horse-drawn trolley tours every half-hour through the cemetery. The tours begin at 7 p.m. and run until 10 p.m. The trolleys will load passengers at the Gazebo in Barker Commons Park on West Main St. and return to the same area. Last year the trolley tours sold out - don’t be left standing in the cold - call This year marks another great one for ‘FestivalsFredonia’ and the ‘Harvest Moon now for reservations.

Stories of a Lifetime a “personal historian” is or does. Until recently, I also did not know about the myriad of services they provide. Simply put, a “personal historian” is anyone who helps others record the stories of their lives, families, or organization. According to Eileen Kent of Stories of a Lifetime in Utica, NY, personal histories go beyond genealogy, which might just list names, dates and places on a family tree. Personal histories tell the stories behind those facts and bring a family tree to life, allowing future generations to discover their ancestors’ personalities, experiences and wisdom. The applications for these services are endless and can be used by individuals, as well as companies and organizations with a story to tell. While methods vary, some of the possibilities include oral his-

movie” she worked on which was initially made in the 1970’s by group of teenagers, which she recently restored and edited. Now in their sixties, the group was back together again doing a “sequel,” employing Whitney to undertake the creative project. As a graphic artist, Heila Martin-Person of Legacy Graphics in Syracuse, NY restores and retouches photos, as well as doing digital alteration, commemoratives and legacy books. Yes, establishing your legacy can take many forms. What I like best is that the fact that memoir writing and publication are now available to all of us – even if we are not celebrities and our main audience is our family and friends. Despite our seemingly “ordinary” lives, we will leave behind extraordinary stories…a priceless gift for current and future generations.

house for a smaller condo or apartment. You get the idea. While many might find creating their legacy daunting, the personal historian is there as a neutral individual helping to elicit a compelling story and manage a life history project from start to finish. Even when people are able to dig up information through the Internet and other sources, material can be disorganized and in danger of being forgotten or scattered. And because personal historians come from different backgrounds— they also bring different skills and expertise to their service. For example, Taylor Whitney of Preserving the Past of Rochester, NY and Los Angeles, utilizes archival processes much like those employed by the Smithsonian. While working on film and photographic preservation for private collections, Whitney’s skills have also been used by Hollywood on the classic Hitchcock films Vertigo and Rear Window. Whitney showed a “home

to the storyteller is that while the “threads” of their lives are put in perspective, they have left something tangible and permanent long after they’re gone. A very poignant aspect of the a personal history is the ethical will or legacy letter, which has its roots in an ancient Judeo-Christian tradition of passing on beliefs, values, blessing, and moral direction from one generation to the next. The book, Personal History, by Jennifer Campbell, contains two such letters. One was written by a 29 year old to her family and read at her memorial service in which she states she has “won the challenge of life.” On a lighter note, engagement and wedding books tell the stories of the bride and groom, from their childhoods to their engagement or wedding day.

My initial thought was what a tremendous gift to give to your children or grandchildren! No more piecing together a family member’s life from stories past down (and changed) by word of mouth. A personal history reveals a relative’s thoughts, values and motivation, which laid the groundwork for their lives and their family’s future. In addition, the individual whose story is being told has the option to emphasize a part of their legacy they wish to be remembered e.g., their military service or living through a life-changing event or circumstance.

are then going to take that out into the world and not achieve the potential they have. Failure is a navigating tool, to help them get where they’re going through their mistakes and accomplishments.” There is no age or circumstance where grace based parenting can’t be used. Gerring says it’s applicable to everyone who comes into contact with children, and especially those in the education field. “Play into where their gifts

Family Ministry and Outreach for Bemus Point United Methodist Church says the conference, Raising Truly Great Kids, on October 7-8 at BPUMC, brings parents, grandparents and teachers “a message of hope, rather than struggle into our households.” Gerring became familiar with Dr. Tim Kimmel when he first read his book, Raising Kids For True Greatness. Not just another parenting guide, Gerring says, “it’s a great way live.” He elaborates. “This is an awesome grace that’s been extended to us (through Christ), who are we not to extend that same grace to our children?” “It’s not saying you can be a great parent if you get your kid to do this or that… its saying you’ll have a better time parenting if you see your child for who he really is.” “As parents, we look at our children through the eyes of the world with the world’s expectations—and not through the eyes of Christ. God is saying, I made a beautiful child; help that child realize it’s not about what they do—but about who they are.” Gerring also touts “creating an environment where your children can be vulnerable,” i.e., where they can totally be themselves. For younger children, if their play is abstract, e.g., if they create a round tower or color outside the lines, let them do it without saying, “don’t do it that way.” “We don’t want them to be afraid of failure, because they

are and who God has made them to be. Give them room to find out who they are. Kids go through life trying to meet expectations and they never find out their true identity. The parent is investing into the child’s identity—God has already made them wonderful. It’s a beautiful concept cause it removes the conflict.” In his book, Kimmel says all children have three basic needs for security, significance, and strength. Gerring adds, if children can’t find that in the home, they will look for it elsewhere. “We’ve run into a culture where we are always chasing the next best thing. We are always trying to feed these needs. If a parent meets these needs upfront and can beat the world- your feeding them things that will never die.” Proverbs. 22.:6 Train up a child in the way he should go and he is old he shall not depart from it. As for people who might think the message is “churchy,” Gerring counters, “who in the world doesn’t want to raise a healthy family?” “This is a message of hope and it’s not an opportunity for people to say, this is all about religion. The last thing thing this is about is religion, the first thing this is about is grace. It says ‘you mean more to me than my own judgment or emotions.’” Gerring says the message is also pertinent to parents with children between the ages of 20 to 30,

who come under the most influence of the culture and are tested the most by what they’ve learned in the home. “In the story of the prodigal, the father didn’t wait for the son to get home. He ran to him. And that in and of itself is mercy- that’s what our children need- underserved love. “If you come into their lives with this perspective, it’s literally a breath of fresh air.” For parents with kids that are difficult and challenging, Gerring says this offers an environment for successful communication. “Our job is to expose to them a way of living that sews in their heart the virtues of God and Christ. By example and by exuding love, we’re creating a legacy and we model our heavenly father.” BPUMC Family Ministries Gerring says that BPUMC Family Ministries came out of a need to serve the 250 families that come through the doors of its church each week. BPUMC is also targeting churches and families within 80 miles for this conference. Gerring said pastors and their spouses are invited to attend free of charge, and it is the hope that they will bring lay leaders with them. “We want the walls to come down, this isn’t about what we are doing; God’s message needs to leave the building and go out into the world—that’s ultimately what this is about.” Dr. Tim Kimmel is one of American’s top advocates speaking for the family today. His is the Executive Director of Family Matters, whose goal is to build grace based families by equipping and encouraging them for every age and stage of life. Dr. Kimmel develops resources for families and churches and conducts conferences across the country on the unique pressures that confront today’s families. Dr. Kimmel is a well-known speaker and has authored many books including Gold Medallion Winner Grace Based Parenting. Raising Truly Great Kids takes place on Friday, October 7 from 6:30-9:30 p.m. and on Saturday October 8, from 8 a.m.-12:30 p.m. at Bemus Point United Methodist Church, 4954 Bemus-Ellery Road The cost is $39 a person. Scholarships are also available. Registration is available online at www.RaisingTrulyGreatKids.com or by calling Bemus Point United Methodist Church at 716-386-3401.

MaryAnn Spanos, Office for the Aging director, will talk about “Maintaining Balance” at the Mayville Tuesday Club meeting Oct. 4 in the library. The meeting begins at 1:30 p.m. and the public is invited. Jon Schmetz, archivist/historian for Chautauqua Institution, was Tuesday Club’s September guest speaker, and he talked about Chautauqua Lake from its formation to the present. Having taken thousands of years for gigantic ice formations to melt and form the lake, Schmetz said that a common translation of the lake believed by most people, “Bag

Tied in the Middle,” is wrong. Rather, the name was taken from a Seneca Indian quote, “jah-dah-gwa.” Many years ago, the lake was responsible for the formation of the ice industry, the ice not like it would be in your “ice box,” but rather so clear that it could be used by the restaurant industry. “It’s best in whiskey,” he noted. The ice industry and tourism became the biggest draws to Chautauqua Lake and its surroundings, he said. At that time, there were no mosquitoes – also today’s claim by many. “We don’t know why and we ought to find out,” he suggested. “It should be a top priority.” “The automobile opened

travel to here,” he continued. “Fishing is the most important aspect – including ice fishing. “We depend on the lake as in the past,” he concluded, “but today people NEED the lake.” Alice Paulus, club vice president and program chair, introduced the speaker and Shirley Burnett was hostess for the day. Following a short business meeting, Elaine Smathers gave a book review. Alice Paulus, Tuesday Club vice president and program chair, introduced speaker Jon Schmetz, historian and archivist for Chautauqua Institution. His topic was the formation and history of Chautauqua Lake.

Community Star:

Lisa Romano

By Elizabeth Martin Star News Writer

In Silver Creek each year, Lisa Romano works hard among other volunteers in order to make sure the Festival of Grapes runs smoothly. She has been on the volunteer committee for the past six or seven years and is usually in charge of tying together the final strings that put everything in place. “It’s a local community festival run solely by volunteers. I thought it was a wonderful effort put forth by them and I wanted to be a part of it,” said Romano. In order for a festival or any event to be successful, everyone involved needs to put in their fair share of support. Romano is just one of countless people that assist in making

this annual festival reach its full potential. But, without her, many necessary deeds would not be completed. Romano is in charge of the headquarters at the festival. Her job is to order the products for the headquarters building (shirts, glassware, and other festival keepsakes) so that it is always stocked and ready to sell merchandise. The headquarters building that is located in the middle of the midway at the festival, sells

shirts and sweatshirts that are designed by the winners of a high school competition. “It’s one of my favorite things to do because pretty much all roads lead to headquarters and I get to meet a lot of new people,” said Romano. Romano is in charge of making things all come together in the end. If other volunteers need extra errands run, items picked up for the festival, or any deliveries made, Romano is the go-to girl. She’s one

of the few volunteers whose schedule allows these kinds of responsibilities, so she’s just grateful that she can help out. This year, Romano also assisted with the Festival of Grapes pageant. She was the reliable person that was always available to help. If another volunteer’s schedule stopped them from filling their duties, Romano stepped in to fill it. People like Lisa Romano are needed in every situation, and there are only a handful of

people that are willing to do what she does. “If something needs last minute attention, I do it. Because that’s how everything comes together and that’s what it’s all about- I just like meeting a lot of people and seeing things happen,” said Romano. Romano volunteers in her community so she can lend a helping hand and witness the great outcome of the festival each year. She contributes to the festival to make it a little

bit easier for everyone else. Romano does not volunteer to get a reward from it, but just to feel a sense of satisfaction and see the happiness of those around her. “There are a lot of people on the board and the festival comes together with a lot of different people’s help- that’s why we’ve had 44 successful festivals and we’re looking forward to our 45th next year,” said Romano.

Baroque Oboist Geoffrey Burgess to Coach SUNY Fredonia Music Students Contributed by SUNY Fredonia

Baroque Oboist Geoffrey Burgess will be in residence at SUNY Fredonia in October to prepare music students for a unique event. Burgess, of the American Bach Soloists, will be coaching a wide variety of students in authentic Baroque

and classical performance practices, culminating in two informal concerts, which are free and open to the public. These concerts will feature students from all areas of the School of Music including voice, keyboard, string, brass and wind. Concert dates are Tuesday, October 11 at 8 p.m. in Rosch Recital Hall with a

program of Bach arias and the Mozart Quintet K.388 with Geoffrey Burgess performing on Baroque oboe. The second concert, on Wednesday, October 12 at 8 p.m. in Rosch Recital Hall, features selections from two wind octets: Johann Wendt’s period arrangement of Mozart’s opera Cosi Fan Tutte and W.A. Mozart’s own

Serenade No.11 in Eb, K.375. Geoffrey Burgess has played Baroque oboe around the globe for close to thirty years. After initial studies in his hometown Sydney, a Dutch government scholarship allowed him to study in The Hague with Ku Ebbinge. He worked over a twenty-year period with the Paris-based

opera company, Les Arts Florissants, an association that triggered a passion for French Baroque opera that culminated in a doctoral dissertation for Cornell University. His book, The Oboe, written in collaboration with Bruce Haynes, won the 2007 Bessaraboff Prize from the American Musical Instrument Society. Geoffrey was a key figure in the early-instrument revival in Australia, and was a founding member of the Brandenburg Orchestra in Sydney. He has worked with baroque ensembles across North America, from Seattle to Boston and Los Angeles to Montréal and has appeared as soloist with the Washington Bach Consort, Dallas Bach Society and Philadelphia Bach

Festival, and in recitals with prominent artists such as Julianne Baird and Elizabeth Futral. In addition to some twentyfive orchestral and operatic recordings, Geoffrey recorded music of the Bach Family with Ann Morgan for Move Records, and Invocations and Incantations features new music written for Duo d’amore— Geoffrey with harpischordist Elaine Funaro. Dr Burgess has taught at the Baroque Performance Institute at Oberlin College, and on the musicology faculties of Stony Brook, Case Western, Duke and Columbia Universities. He presently lives in Philadelphia, and is the Baroque oboe instructor at the Eastman School of Music.

As SUNY Fredonia continues its 2011-12 Convocation Series, “Taking Risks: Rewards and Repercussions,” award-winning author and Fredonia graduate Wendy Corsi Staub will return to campus to discuss the road she traveled to “bestsellerdom.” The event, taking place on Sept. 30 from 3 to 4 p.m. in Rosch Recital Hall, is free and open to the public. Later in the evening, Staub will have a book signing at The Book Nook at 7 p.m., located at 1170 Central Avenue, inside of the D&F Plaza. “Problem Puppies, Persnickety Publishers, and Other Potholes on the Road to Bestsellerdom” is the title of her lecture, focusing on creativity and entrepreneurship. Staub is a Dunkirk native and a 1986 alumna of the Department of English. She has sold

She grew up in a large, closeknit family and decided she wanted to become an author while in third grade. She worked in two independent bookstores while she was a student at Fredonia, and then moved alone to New York City at 21 to pursue her dream. After stints as a book editor for a Manhattan publishing house and an account coordinator for a major advertising agency, she sold her first novel, the

supernatural young adult thriller, “Summer Lightning.” Early in her writing career, Staub published in various genres including: suspense, horror, historical and contemporary romance, television and movie tie-in, and biography.

Traditional Festivities, Continued from page 1 Club. The cruise-in takes place on the second day of the festival, Oct. 9, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. One of the two notable changes that Scott Enterprises is bringing to the fest is the notable taste of Famous Dave’s BBQ. “We know people will be able to enjoy the food, as well as what Peek’n Peak has to offer,” said Scott. But perhaps the staple for this year’s festival are the discounts on ski-passes, something Scott is very excited about- and for good reason. “One of the few changes we’re starting right off with are the season pass ski tickets for the Peek,” said Scott. “We’ve discounted the price at the Fall Fest, and for the month of October.” Discount is perhaps not a worthy word, because for Fall Fest attendees, the savings average over $100. In fact, where

a full season pass (purchased after Nov. 1) would be $625, the price for festival-goers is only $475. The discounts also apply to all the season ticket prices and can be found on our website, www.starnewsdaily.com. Can’t make the festival? You can still get discounted season passes throughout the whole month of October. Nick Scott, Jr. and Scott Enterprises, who also own the Splash Lagoon Resort in Erie, Pa, are very excited for the future are Peek’n Peak, and their aim is to give local families a chance to get away through their (unofficial) ‘Vacation Insurance’ program. “With the cost of traveling, people can get a real great experience close to home,” said Scott. “If you come to the Peak and the weather isn’t good for skiing, you can enjoy Splash Lagoon or a round of gold. People can get the best of both worlds.”

Before you start to think that the drive between the two is too far for this ‘vacation insurance’ program to work, the actual distance is only 22 miles. “Our company philosophy is ‘pay attention to the details,” said Scott. “Our focus is on providing a guest experience that is memorable and worth repeating. The physical changes may take some time, but we’ll develop the ‘master plan’ over the next year.” Starting Friday, Sept. 30, Scott Enterprises officially takes over ownership of ‘The Peak,’ but rest assured, the change is one for the better. “One thing we’re excited about as we jump in are the people,” said Scott. “The team there; there are incredible people there. Some have worked 15-25 years, and those are the dedicated individuals who work to make [the Peak] very, very special.”

Lieutenant Governor to Speak on Regional Economic Development Councils Award Winners will be honored

Lieutenant Governor Robert Duffy will be the keynote speaker for the Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce Annual Awards Banquet Thursday, October 6th at the Chautauqua Suites Meeting & Expo Center in Mayville. The Lieutenant Governor will speak on the topic of New York State’s new Regional Economic Development Councils. As chair of each of the ten regional councils in New York State, Lieutenant Governor Duffy is working with stakeholders from business, local government, academia, labor, agriculture, and community organizations to coordinate economic development efforts. Duffy was elected Lieutenant Governor in November of 2010 with running mate Governor Andrew Cuomo. Prior to that, he was mayor of Rochester since January, 2006. Some highlights of his term as mayor include merging several departments to create efficiencies, reducing the city’s workforce, adopting a 311 call center to provide access to city services, investing in public safety to reduce the crime rate, and attracting millions of dollars in private-sector investments.

Born and raised in Rochester, Duffy graduated from the Aquinas Institute, Monroe Community College and Rochester Institute of Technology. After joining the Rochester Police Department in 1976, he worked nights to earn a Master’s degree from Syracuse University. He became Deputy Chief of Police in 1992 and Rochester’s Chief of Police in 1998. During the event 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. 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. 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.

should be at the top of your list of priorities is to learn how business ownership will affect your taxes. New business owners need, at the very least an attorney, a banker, an insurance agent, realtor, and an accountant and you need them before you begin, not 6 months or a year later. The accountant can help with the many tax issues to consider such as estimated federal and state income taxes, sales tax, payroll tax, occupancy tax, use tax and more. Why worry about estimated income taxes before or during my first year in business? I’m just going to lose money and owe no tax anyway. This sometimes gets people into trouble as they think they show no profit if there’s no big balance in the checking account at the end of the year. Here are some examples of where the money went.

You purchase inventory for your business and, at the end of the year some of that cost cannot be expensed on your taxes. You spent sales dollars to increase or replace inventory, but until you sell it, it isn’t a write off. Many inventory based businesses learn this lesson the hard way in the beginning. You purchase equipment that has to be depreciated so the expense is spread over several years of income. You pay yourself a small weekly salary in the form of an owner’s draw. It doesn’t seem like much, but it does come out of your revenue and unless you are an employee, it is not a business expense. Business start up costs may need to be amortized over a five-year period. The other scenario is that you actually are profitable during the first year of business and

you were so busy building the business, you didn’t even realize how much money you were making. If you are married and your spouse has income, adding your profit to that income may push you into a higher tax bracket and your profit will be taxed at the higher level. Surprise, ouch! Then there’s the self employment tax that equals the employer and employee portion of social security and Medicare taxes. This is something you pay even if you are a sole proprietor with no employees. When it comes to estimated income taxes and making quarterly payments of such, get some advice ahead of time just so you know what to expect. Your accountant can take a look at your revenue and expenses at any time during the year, annualize your estimated profit, and give you

a heads up on your tax picture for the coming tax season. It’s just one of the ways you can be prepared and go from a new business to a successful business and a job creator.

JCC Students Combine Physics, Curricular Ideas Contributed Article JCC

Several Jamestown Community College students collaborated during the summer to design science curriculum modules for use in area high schools. The project, coordinated by engineering instructor Jill Johnson and teacher education instructor Renee Funke, featured a partnership with

the Girl Scouts of Western New York (GSWNY). Using the challenge course at the Girl Scouts’ Camp Seven Hills facility in Holland, NY, the students analyzed how physics apply to a ropes course. Their research became the foundation of lesson plans that feature an interdisciplinary approach to science education. The students -- Anne Boedo, MacKenzie Caldwell, Alicia Dill, Jon HuiHui, and

Kate Wescott – worked with GSWNY outdoor resource manager Annette German to develop modules for high school teachers to incorporate into their curriculum. The lessons, which are being reviewed for consistency and effectiveness, include a field trip to the camp’s ropes course, which would enable students to participate simultaneously in a hands-on team building activity and a science lesson.

Merritt Estate Winery Ends Summer Festival Season With Success Contributed Article Merritt Estate Winery

Wine and hockey enthusiasts came from all over Western New York to Merritt Estate Winery’s annual Septemberfest. Each year, the fall festival is held to represent the end of summer and the coming of the fall grape harvest season. Buffalo Sabres Alumni and NHL Hall of Fame inductee Pat LaFontaine joined the festival team this year in an effort to raise money for his self-founded charity, Companions in Courage. The Companions in Courage Foundation was founded as a way to help connect hospitalized children to their family, friends and heroes through the construction of “Lion’s Den” rooms. These rooms are utilized as communication chambers to help sick and hospitalized children regain their strength and courage. LaFontaine is still very much in touch with the Western New York area, and has recently expanded the charity’s

reach to the Women and Children’s Hospital of Buffalo and Roswell Park Cancer Institute. The hockey icon made an appearance on the Saturday of this year’s Septemberfest. He met with eager fans and autographed sports memorabilia, customized wine bottles and hockey pucks to raise money and awareness for the Companions in Courage Foundation. The customized Bella Rosa bottles are available for purchase at the winery in limited supply. Each bottle has been autographed by LaFontaine, and includes a numbered certificate of authenticity. “Looking at the original weather forecast and being aware of the other events taking place in the area over the weekend, we seemed to have a lot going against us for this year’s Septemberfest,” said Jessi Luke, Public Relations and Promotions person for Merritt Estate Winery. “The weather cooperated and the crowds were fantastic as our winery and hockey fans came out in faithful fashion. The

weekend was a spectacular success and LaFontaine was truly a pleasure to work with. He is such a people person; every fan walked away with a smile on their face.” Event sponsors for this year’s Septemberfest included Casella Waste Management, Dunkin’ Donuts, Media One Group and Robert Basil Chevy, Buick, Cadillac of Fredonia.

Students in Jamestown Community College’s honors program hosted honor society members from Falconer and Jamestown high schools for a luncheon and discussion with actress Susan Marie Frontczak. The event followed Ms. Frontczak’s recent matinee performance of “Manya: A Living History of Marie Curie” in JCC’s Scharmann Theatre. The one-woman drama illustrated the life of Polish scientist Madame Curie from the political oppression of her childhood through fame and tragedy to world prominence in the scientific arena. Madame Curie, best known for the discovery of radium and radioactivity, was the first woman to receive a doctorate

JCC

in the sciences in Europe and the first woman to receive a Nobel Prize. She was also the first person to receive a Nobel Prize twice. Ms. Frontczak, who views science and art as outlets for creativity, discussed the human and historical contexts behind Madame Curie in “Manya.” She explained that in dramatizing the life of Madame Curie, she pays homage to their shared Polish heritage.

Ms. Frontczak told the honors students that she believes academic excellence can lead to outstanding achievement. Madame Curie’s perseverance in purifying a grain of radium from a ton of pitchblende, in part, inspired Ms. Frontczak to major in engineering, a field in which she worked for 14 years before pursuing fulltime writing and acting.

Jamestown Community College, Finger Lakes Community College, Tompkins-Cortland Community College, and Delaware Technical and Community College have been awarded a $3.35 million grant from the National Science Foundation. The funding comes from NSF’s Transforming Undergraduate Education in STEM (Science Technology, Engineering and Math) program, in which there are three levels of funding. The grant, which was awarded the highest level of funding, will support the expansion of undergraduate research opportunities at the four community colleges as well as the dissemination of undergraduate research nationwide to other community colleges. “Only two of these grants are awarded every year nationally, and it is the first Phase III TUES grant ever awarded to a community college,” says Jacqueline Crisman, associate professor and coordinator of JCC’s biotechnology program and one of the co-investigators on the grant. FLCC has the lead role in administering the grant on behalf of the other three partners. Dr. Crisman emphasized that JCC’s biotechnology program has a vibrant undergraduate research component with

research opportunities for students during the academic year and through its Summer Undergraduate Research Institute. The NSF grant will provide research supplies and paid internships for biotechnology students and will support national workshops and mentorship activities for other community colleges across the nation. Dr. Crisman also noted that funds provided by the Jessie Smith Darrah Fund, the John R. Oishei Foundation, the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Vocational and Adult Education, and Promega Corporation, plus other donations to support JCC’s new science facility, allowed JCC to purchase close to $500,000 in new biotechnology equipment. “Without these gracious awards, we would never have received this grant,” said Dr. Crisman. Half of all college students in the nation attend community colleges, making a rigorous two-year curriculum a national priority if the U.S. is to stay competitive in the sciences, explained Jim Hewlett, professor of biology and head of the Community College Undergraduate Research Initiative (CCURI), based at FLCC. “Given the community college’s increasing role in preparing transfer students to four-year colleges, we need to give students the skills and knowledge necessary to become future biologists,” said

Hewlett, who applied for the grant on behalf of FLCC. In the first year of implementation, the project team, led by Hewlett, will select 16 community colleges to participate in an extensive program that begins with three-day workshops in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas, and the District of Columbia. At the workshops, Hewlett and faculty from TompkinsCortland, JCC, and Delaware Technical and Community College will help them design, implement, and assess undergraduate research programs at their institutions. The Council for Undergraduate Research, a national organization with similar goals, will provide additional support. The grant will then support these institutions (supplies, equipment, faculty, and curriculum development, stipends for student research assistants) for the remaining three years as their plans take shape on their respective campuses. The Social and Economic Sciences Research Center at Washington State University will evaluate the project as it unfolds. FLCC’s work with the Community College Undergraduate Research Initiative was featured in the September 16 issue of the journal Science, the most cited journal in the life sciences.

Audubon Offering “Autumn Walk With a Forester” Contributed Article Audubon Center and Sanctuary

To learn more about our trees turning the glorious golds and blazing reds of the season, the Audubon Center and Sanctuary is offering an “Autumn Walk with a Forester.” Part of its continuing adult education program, the walk is scheduled for Monday, October 10, 2011, from 9 until noon. One can’t help but wonder at the striking changes of autumn. Is frost necessary to have leaves change color?

Why do oaks stay green? Why are sugar maples yellow tinged with red, but red maples usually are red tinged with yellow? How can one ash tree be purple when all its relatives have leaves of yellow? Why doesn’t a tree keep pumping water after a leaf falls, and what does that have to do with leaf color anyway?  As he leads the walk, forester Bruce Robinson will provide answers to these and many other questions and share his life-long passion for understanding forest and tree functions. Robinson is a graduate in

Forestry from Paul Smith’s College and SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry in Syracuse. After 14 years with the New York State Department of Environmental

Conservation, he founded a consulting forestry business which now, with the help of four additional foresters, manages more than 100,000 acres of private forests in

Four-Wheelin’ Safety, Part 2

Randy DeVaul In the first article, specific safety concerns and tips were provided related to operating an all-terrain vehicle (ATV). This article provides additional safety factors to consider to ensure operators remain safe

when operating a ATV. Children under 16 years old lack the developmental skills to safely drive adult ATVs. Children under 6 should never be on an ATV – either as a driver or passenger. Young children lack the physical ability and mental skills to safely maneuver a motorized vehicle with multiple speeds and controls. Most ATVs are equipped with a label detailing the manufacturer’s recommended age for that particular model. The recommended ages for Y-6 models (under 70 cc engines) are 6 to 11; the recommended ages for the Y-12 models (70

to 90 cc engines) are 12 to 15. By age 6, some children can drive youth ATVs with simple controls at very low speeds. A Y-6 ATV is designed to go up to 15 miles per hour; however, Y-6 ATVs can limit the speed to 10 miles per hour. By ages 12 to 13, many children can drive youth ATVs at speeds under 25 mph. These children generally lack the cognitive skills to control adult ATVs under a wide range of conditions. A Y-12 ATV is designed to go up to 30 mph; however, Y-12 ATVs can limit the speed to 15 mph. ATVs are designed for interactive riding. This means

the driver’s body movement plays an integral part of the handling. The driver must be able to shift weight freely in all directions. If passengers get in the way or shift their weight improperly, the driver may lose control of the ATV. And, most ATVs are not equipped with handholds or footrests for passengers. Single rider ATVs display a warning label to not carry passengers. New “2-Up” ATVs on the market are specifically designed to carry a driver with a single passenger. According to manufacturers, these ATVs should never be used to carry children under 12 or to carry more than one

passenger. ATVs should NEVER be driven while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Here is a brief summary of New York State laws concerning ATVs: No passengers are allowed on the ATV unless it is designed to carry more than one person. All riders (operator and passengers) must wear a helmet at all times. All ATVs must be registered with the Department of Motor Vehicles, renewing registration once every year. ATV use on highways is pro-

hibited, except to cross these roads. No one under 10 may ride or operate an ATV. Operators between 10 and 15 may ride an ATV if they are on their parent’s land and supervised by a parent, or on their parent’s land and in possession of a safety training certificate. No ATV shall be operated without a lighted headlight and taillight from ½ hour after sunset to ½ hour before sunrise. The local County Sheriff is the regulating or enforcing agency.

thought I would experience. Though the marriage did not last, the wedding day was a festive one and I’m grateful that my family was there to share it. After some thought, I decided to include some family “classics” that did not have Aunt Helen in the album. Not knowing the next time I would see this part of my family again, I took a chance and brought them along to add some humor and distraction at an otherwise somber and uncomfortable situation with people I don’t know well. I’m glad I did. It brought an opportunity to discuss something other than the weather and awakened more memories from times when this branch of the family tree was together other than funerals and weddings. Laughing at the 70’s clothes and hair was actually fun. (“Hey, Uncle Dennis, Angela Davis called, she wants her hairstyle back!”) The lighthearted humor it elicited was a welcome diversion, yet lovingly relevant to everyone gathered there. The album I brought to her

wake and funeral breakfast did not have any embellishments or journaling, just memories of a feisty redhead and her family. I understood more about her life from those who shared memories inspired by those photographs than just the portion I got to be a part of. Those stories lent context and ambiance to ordinary snapshots, as well as a smile and a laugh for the people gathered there who needed it the most. I have a lot more to add to those pictures now. I just wish I could have gotten more from the source herself. This week’s pick: “Pictures of You” by The Cure, http:// www.dailymotion.com/video/ xeaiao_the-cure-pictures-ofyou_music. This haunting, beautiful song was “ours,” and the irony of that is not lost on me. It’s worth a listen.

you should have certain liberties and a certain amount of privacy. A good parent will sit down with their adult child and come up with mutually agreed upon guidelines. However, if you cannot come to an agreement, you have one of two choices. You can move out and become self-supporting although working and going to school can be very difficult. The other choice is to learn to “walk in love” and obey your parents while you are receiving financial benefit from them.

Having had the experience of supporting myself through Bible School, it seems to me that unless a parent’s requests are completely unreasonable, learning to walk in love seems most beneficial during this time in your life. While it may be challenging and you may feel like “a kid,” it’s only for a season and the skills you acquire through your efforts will last a lifetime.

to great proportions in your mind so that fear and worry will no longer have any room to dwell there. Christ’s love for you extended out much further than any good thing you could ever need, want, or hope for. If there was one thing good that Christ could not give you, then that thing would be more valuable than God’s Son. No! God’s love has endless reach and is never short to you. God wants to bless you in every way possible; spiritually, mentally, physically, emotionally, relationally, materially, and financially. All of this is true but is completely based on whether our character is in place to handle such bless-

ings. And a man’s character will never change unless they receive in their heart a picture of the love God has for them. Addictions are destroyed when you receive a clear revelation of God’s love. Selfishness and stinginess melt away under the warmth of God’s benevolence. You will never learn to love anyone until you know and believe that you are loved with the supremacy of God’s love. You can’t try to love people. Loving people will come automatically with a revelation of how God has loved you. Stop trying to love and start realizing how cherished you are in the sight of God.

Scrapbooking Today Putting the FUN in Funeral

By Anne Walterich Contributing Writer

Funerals, like weddings, are complicated, emotional affairs. Oftentimes, they are the only times that extended families come together and enjoy each other’s company after long periods without meaningful contact. Both occasions unearth feelings, sometimes submerged for years, in all who attend the gatherings to celebrate both lives already lived and the lives just beginning. Last week, our family lost our Aunt Helen, the last remaining member of an earlier generation. Add this to the list of things that I never thought I would hear myself say: I agree with Pat Robertson. Around the same time Aunt Helen passed, the “700 Club” host made his controversial comments regarding Alzheimer’s disease as a “kind of death,” and I could not agree more. To her family and closest friends, she had already been gone for some time, and her death was a blessing. Even if it was a welcome relief

from her suffering, her passing still evoked grief and sorrow from all who knew her. To be in the presence at a funeral home or place of worship experiencing those raw feelings with people one rarely sees is incredibly awkward. Photographs help relieve some of those initial uncomfortable encounters. Those moments captured in time provide an object to focus on as a catalyst for conversation and the sharing of memories; A place to start. For those occasions where I know the deceased’s family, I like to provide them with a mini book to have just for these occasions. I was able to find some pictures of family gatherings from years gone by, none of them prize-winning shots. They were precious treasures to me, though. Aunt Helen and her late husband in a buffet line at my first Communion party; A postcard from Disney World in her handwriting; Some 1980’s beauties from an engagement party with her late son. The pictures that were my favorites, the ones I knew ex-

Save those photos with your former partners (if you can stand to.) This photo of my late Grandfather, Nana and Aunt Helen (in the foreground) came from my wedding. I almost threw the album away at one time, and this family treasure would’ve been lost forever.

isted but did not look forward to seeing, were buried in my wedding album. Knowing that these pictures from nine years ago contained the last images of Aunt Helen with her brother and sister, my Uncle and Nana (of cheesecake fame,) I had to bring them to share even if it meant I had to dig into unpleasant memories myself. I hadn’t looked at these pictures in many years, but I

had seen them so many times before that I knew just where to find the ones I was looking for. I thought there would be more emotion involved for me while searching through them and sharing the last images containing Aunt Helen and myself with a man who is no longer a part of my life. Turns out, it wasn’t bad at all – the joy of seeing images of those no longer on this plane of existence overwhelmingly outweighed any negativity I

Keeping the Faith Advice for College I’m a college student and still live at home. Do I still need to obey my parents? You pose a good question. Ephesians 6:1-3 says “Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. (2) Honor your father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise) (3) That it may be well with you, and you may live long on the earth.” Although By Rev. Michael Lokietek this scripture is written to children, the idea of honoring Family Church of Chautauqua County our parents doesn’t disappear

as we mature. An adult son or daughter must always try to honor and respect their parents, regardless of age or circumstance. We will now answer your question using the wisdom of God’s Word. Although you’re an adult, you’re still living in your parent’s home. It is likely that you want adult freedoms without your parent’s involvement or restrictions. What I’m about to say may not excite you, but please hear me out. As long as a parent is financially support-

ing you in any way (college costs, food, clothes, etc.), they have a right to speak into your life. If they’re supporting you in their home, they also have a right to dictate reasonable rules. The only exceptions I can think of is if you’re renting a room from your parents and take care of all your own expenses or if you’re living with your parents in order to take care of them. Otherwise, you need to obey their wishes. Now, I want to say something in your defense. As an adult,

The Weekly Word The Greatness of God’s Love

Rev. Tim Stahlman Family Church of the Southern Tier

Christ didn’t only save us from eternal death, He gave us abundant life. (John 10:10) God’s love didn’t make us conquerors, He made us more

than conquerors. He didn’t give us a victory, He purchased a surpassing victory. (Rom 8:37 Amp) God didn’t bless me with some blessings, He blessed me with EVERY spiritual blessing in heavenly places with Christ Jesus. (Eph 1:3) His love doesn’t stop at my needs being met, He exceeds every appropriate desire and runs beyond the limits of our thinking. (Ps 37:4) Ephesians 3:20 in the Amplified Bible says, “Now to Him Who, by consequence of the action of His power that is at work within us, is able to carry out His purpose and do superabundantly far over and

above all that we dare ask or think, and infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, and dreams.” God didn’t only build me a mansion in Heaven, He gave me all things pertaining to this life. (2 Peter 1:3) We are the apple of His eye, the Church of the Firstborn, and those that God made His dwelling place! We cannot be crushed because God’s love for us is constantly pushing back every form of demonic pressure. He didn’t allow us to sit next to Him and His throne, He invited us to sit WITH Him on His throne. (Eph 2:6, Rev 3:21) He didn’t place us barely above demonic hosts, He placed us far above

all principalities, powers, and dominions in this world and that which is to come. (Eph 1:21) God doesn’t give as an earthly parent gives to their children, He gives us much more! (Matt 7:11) God didn’t pull off a last minute come back, His love dominated every play from scrimmage and pulled the devil into negative yards gained against us. When will we dare to believe God for the most and stop settling for the least? Christians who walk in fresh boldness and confidence are those who have great revelation of God’s love for them. I write this article in the hopes that these truths will swell

Study: Dads Less Likely to Die of Heart Problems By Marilynn Marchione AP Medical Writer

Fatherhood may be a kick in the old testosterone, but it may also help keep a man alive. New research suggests that dads are a little less likely to die of heart-related problems than childless men are. The study, by the AARP, the government and several universities, is the largest ever on male fertility and mortality, involving nearly 138,000 men. Although a study like this can’t prove that fatherhood and mortality are related, there are plenty of reasons to think they might be, several heart disease experts said. Marriage, having lots of friends and even having a dog can lower the chance of heart problems and cardiac-related deaths, previous research suggests. Similarly, kids might help take care of you or give you a reason to take better care of yourself. Also, it takes reasonably good genes to father a child. An inability to do so might mean a genetic weakness that can spell heart trouble down the road. “There is emerging evidence that male infertility is a window into a man’s later health,’’ said Dr. Michael Eisenberg, a Stanford University urologist and fertility specialist who led the study. “Maybe it’s tell-

ing us that something else is involved in their inability to have kids.’’ The study was published online Monday by the journal Human Reproduction. Last week, a study by other researchers of 600 men in the Philippines found that testosterone, the main male hormone, drops after a man becomes a dad. Men who started out with higher levels of it were more likely to become fathers, suggesting that low levels might reflect an underlying health issue that prevents reproduction, Eisenberg said. In general, higher levels of testosterone are better, but too much or too little can cause HDL, or “good cholesterol,’’ to fall, a key heart disease risk factor, said Dr. Robert Eckel, past president of the American Heart Association and professor of medicine at the University of Colorado, Denver. “This is a hot topic,’’ Eckel said. “I like this study because I have five children,’’ he joked, but he said many factors such as job stress affect heart risks and the decision to have children. Researchers admit they couldn’t measure factors like stress, but they said they did their best to account for the ones they could. They started with more than 500,000 AARP members age 50 and

over who filled out periodic surveys starting in the 1990s for a long-running research project sponsored by the National Cancer Institute. For this study, researchers excluded men who had never been married so they could focus on those most likely to have the intent and opportunity to father a child. Men with cancer or heart disease also were excluded to compare just men who were healthy when the study began. Of the remaining 137,903 men, 92 percent were fathers and half had three or more children. After an average of 10 years of follow-up, about 10 percent had died. Researchers calculated death rates according to the number of children, and adjusted for differences in smoking, weight, age, household income and other factors. They saw no difference in death rates between childless men and fathers. However, dads were 17 percent less likely to have died of cardiovascular causes than childless men were. Now for all the caveats. Researchers don’t know how many men were childless by choice and not because of a fertility problem. They don’t know what fertility problems the men’s partners may have had that could have left them childless.

They didn’t have cholesterol or blood pressure information on the men, key heart risk factors. Less than 5 percent of participants were blacks or other minorities, so the results may not apply to them. All those questions aside, however, some prominent heart experts were reassured by the study’s large size and the steps researchers took to adjust for heart disease risk factors. “I think there’s something there,’’ and social science supports the idea that children can lower heart risks, said Dr. Eric Topol, a cardiologist and genetics expert at Scripps Health in La Jolla, Calif. “Whether it’s with a pet, a spouse or social interaction ... all those things are associated with better outcomes.’’ Dr. Daniel Rader, director of preventive cardiology at the University of Pennsylvania, said: “It’s biologically plausible that there’s a connection,’’ but the reduced risk attributed to having children “is pretty modest.’’ Men often ask him what they can do to keep from dying of a heart attack, he said. “I’m not really prepared to, on the basis of this, tell them to start having a few kids,’’ Rader said.

No. 2 Randolph Hosts No. 5 Maple Grove For Class D Supremacy By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

Another week and another showdown in Class D with regular season championship implications. Two of the top ranked teams in the state will square off Friday night as the Maple Grove Red Dragons (40, 3-0) head into Randolph to face the Cardinals (4-0, 3-0). Maple Grove, the No. 5 team in the state, is fresh off a 34-14 win over defending champion Silver Creek. Skyler Liddell, a wide receiver turned running back last week, led the way by rushing for 113 yards and also catching two passes for 41 yards. He had three of the five Maple Grove touchdowns and his 50-yard touchdown run in the second quarter put the Red Dragons ahead for good. Meanwhile, senior running back John Nickerson also ran for two touchdowns while leading the way defensively with 17 tackles. The Red Dragons avenged their lone regular season loss last season against Silver Creek where they lost 33-7 and now have a chance to avenge their season-ending loss to Randolph this week. The Cardinals have ended Maple Grove’s season three of the last four years with the only off year coming during the Red Dragons 13-0 state championship team in 2008. Thus, when these teams get together, you know the winner is on their way towards a championship run. However, this season will be a little different as Friday’s game will only be a pre-cursor to the heavily anticipated Section VI Class D playoffs. But, getting the overall No. 1 seed in that tournament, which the winner of this game will likely claim will be extremely

important. Regardless, the resurgence for Maple Grove has been a dominant defense, led by Nickerson, a linebacker. Maple Grove has already shut out Portville and Nichols this season, and their “letdowns” have consisted of allowing 12 points to I-Prep and 14 to Silver Creek. Meanwhile, Randolph hasn’t been too shabby either, and the No. 2 team in the state will enter the game as the slight favorite considering they’re home.

Fredonia Takes On Potent Cleve Hill Offense In Class C Showdown By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

Off to a 4-0 start for the second straight year, Fredonia head coach Bob Ball knows his team still has plenty of work to do if they wish to duplicate last season’s state semi-final run. “We’re not quite as experienced as we were last year,” Ball said. “We still have a young team and in the games we’ve won, we really haven’t won too convincingly.” The Hillbillies will get their biggest test of the season Saturday afternoon against the No. 2 ranked team in the state, Cleveland Hill (4-0, 3-0) in Cheektowaga. It’s been pretty easy this season for the Eagles, who are scoring at will, averaging a ridiculous 46.5 points per game. The 186 points they’ve scored leads all of Section VI (Orchard Park is second with 177 points) and only a half dozen teams are within 40 points. In Class C, only three teams — including Fredonia — have scored more than 100 and the Hillbillies are second in the entire league with 103, still an astonishing 83 points behind the Eagles. In simple terms, Cleve Hill can really move the ball. “They run a Wing-T offense and they do that very well,” Ball said. “They can run it up the middle on you until you stop it. And when you do finally stop it, then they’ll go outside with the run. They run and run and run.” Senior quarterback Daryl Spencer has led the way, throwing for 400 yards, rushing for 477 more and combining for a total of 10 touchdowns. Spencer also leads the team in tackles.

“They’ve got quite a few weapons on offense, but (Spencer) and Brandon Thomas are their two main ones,” Ball said. The aforementioned Brandon Thomas and Jonathan Thomas have formed a solid backfield tandem, with each going over 100 yards rushing in a game this season two times. Brandon, just a sophomore, ran for 187 yards and two touchdowns in last week’s win. Thus, the Fredonia defense will be tested. Through three weeks, no problems. Ball’s defense allowed just 21 points through their first three wins (Lafayette 2-0 forfeit included) enabling relatively easy wins. But this past week they struggled mightily against winless Gowanda and trailed 28-12 at halftime. “Gowanda is always a tough physical team,” Ball said. “They always give us a tough contest and with the wet field, it really played into their power game.

“We had guys out of position and gave up a few big pass plays early. At halftime, we challenged our guys. We’re at the halfway point in our season and this is the time where you see where you have to make changes. At that point we weren’t just playing for the second half, but we were playing for the rest of the season.” You can be sure his players got the message. Fredonia outscored Gowanda 25-0 in the second half behind senior quarterback Connor Farhnam, who ran for a touchdown and threw another. Fellow senior Cassidy also ran for a touchdown and the defense slammed the door shut. “We stepped up defensively,” Ball said. “Our secondary really started to make plays. The biggest difference between the two halves was just executing the plays.” Certainly the Hillbillies won’t be able to afford a repeat performance in the

first half this week. But, it’s hard to pick out too many holes on a team undefeated through four weeks. Of course, stopping the Eagles will be priority No. 1. “Stopping the run is the biggest thing,” Ball said. “We don’t think they’ve played a team with as much speed as us, so we’re going to use that to our advantage. Hopefully we’ll force them to throw.” Will all the scoring Cleve Hill has done, their defense really hasn’t been all that bad, either. After allowing 30 on opening night to cross-town rival Maryvale, they’ve really pinned their ears back ever since. They allowed 12 to Gowanda and seven to Akron. Last week, they led 62-6 against Wilson going into the fourth quarter until they allowed 22 points with their second string defense. “We always prepare to run and throw,” Ball said. “Depending on what (the defense) does will dictate what we do. If they put eight or nine guys in the box, we’re going to throw. If they keep four guys back, we’re going to run.” The winner will likely go on to win C North, but interestingly, would probably be on the same side of the bracket as Southwestern, who stunningly lost to Salamanca last week. “It’s always a surprise when Southwestern loses,” Ball said. “But Salamanca is a very good team. (Southwestern head coach) Jay (Sirianni) and I have been talking about how we’re not quite there yet, to where we were last year and also to how inexperienced we are. I’m sure the wet field didn’t help Southwestern, but, again Salamanca is a good team who has a bunch of seniors.”

Class C Report: Salamanca Upsets Southwestern game in a row with a tight loss to Allegany-Limestone 8-6. It certainly hasn’t been the defenses fault, as the Cougs have only managed 12 points in those three defeats. Falconer, meanwhile, won their first game of the season with a 34-0 drubbing of Lafayette. Senior running back Nathan Sharp had his breakout performance of the season with more than 200 yards rushing and three touchdowns. Sharp is certainly on his way to another all-league selection. In C North, Fredonia (4-0, 4-0) keeps on rolling along, but like Southwestern, they don’t seem untouchable like last season. The Hillbillies were in deep trouble last week trailing Gowanda 28-12 at halftime. However Bob Ball rallied his young squad and got a big second half performance from one of his veterans, Dylan Cassidy to complete the comeback. Now, Fredonia and upstart Cleve Hill (4-0, 3-0) will battle for the C North championship Saturday afternoon. The rest of the division is pretty wide open, but JFK looks to be pretty safe to make the playoffs. The Bears, a one-win team from Class B last year have only lost to Fredonia this season.

Hard to believe, but with only three weeks left in the regular season for high school football, Week 4 was a bit of a moving day. Start in C South, where Southwestern (3-1, 2-1), heavy favorites to again win the league were stunned by Salamanca (3-1, 3-0) 21-10 in what was the Trojans first regular season loss since 2007. Although Southwestern wasn’t the same Southwestern through three weeks this season, surely nobody saw the third ranked team in New York State’s Class C drop a league game to the Warriors. The Trojans offense couldn’t seem to get it together against Salamanca and after a few costly turnovers in the second half, the defense couldn’t keep Southwestern afloat. What this does, though, is throw Class C upside down and put Salamanca in the driver’s seat to win the division. The Warriors still have to play Westfield, Cassadaga Valley and Allegany-Limestone, but so long as they beat Westfield, they would need to win just one of their final two games to win the division and grab the top seed in the South Division in the Class C sectional

running for another to move Chautauqua Lake to 4-0. Franklinville (2-2, 2-2) edged Ellicottville (2-2, 2-2) 27-18 Friday night and after Sherman (2-2, 2-2) won 28-6 against Forestville (1-3, 1-3) Saturday, there was another big mess in the middle of the Class DD standings. The top four teams in the league will make the playoffs and right now four teams are clogged in the middle at 2-2. Panama moved to 3-1 after beating Pine Valley (0-4, 0-4) easily 27-0. The Panthers might be the only team capable of beating Chautauqua Lake and they’ll square off a week from Saturday. Frewsburg Emerges In Class D Maple Grove (4-0, 3-0) took care of Silver Creek (2-2, 1-2) 34-14 after Skylar Liddell and John Nickerson lit up the Black Knights’ defense. Liddell, who had been a wide receiver, ran for the three touchdowns, while Nickerson added a pair as the Red Dragons scored 34 straight points after trailing 6-0. The loss sends Silver Creek back to the drawing board a little bit. The Black Knights seemed to be in position for another run to the state playoffs, but back-to-back losses have derailed that a little bit. Still, both losses came to teams ranked top five in the state and you can be sure Sean Helmer’s team will be ready to go against winless I-Prep Friday night. Randolph (4-0, 3-0) rolled again, by beating Portville (0-4,0-4) 46-12. It sets up a monster game between the Cardinals and Maple Grove, another great Section VI Class D matchup. Meanwhile Frewsburg (3-1, 2-1) continued to impress with a 41-6 win over I-Prep (0-4, 0-3). The Bears have completely rolled in three straight wins (only loss was a two-pointer to Randolph to open the year) and get O’Hara for their final home game this season. It would be a surprise if they weren’t ranked in the state polls by then. Leading the charge for Frewsburg has been a potent offense led by running backs Thad Johnson and Devone Adelgren. Adelgren has run for 531 yards in just three games for Frewsburg, including two weeks ago, when he ran for 306 against Portville. Meanwhile, Johnson ran for 173 on just 13 carries against I-Prep and now has a ridiculous 746 yards rushing in four games. He’s also throwing the ball a little bit in Terry Gray’s offense. Whether it’s Johnson or Preston Wiltsie throwing the ball, senior receiver Dalton Peterson is putting up huge offensive numbers as well. After another touchdown catch last week, Peterson has now caught 14 passes for 357 yards and four touchdowns. He also returned a punt for a touchdown last week.

- Don’t kid yourself, you didn’t. am I didn’t, Chris Berman didn’t au- and is it that far-fetched if re head coach Chan Gailey didn’t? But these no-name, plentyof-game Bills stormed back from 21-0 to knock off their arch nemesis and in doing so vaulted themselves into first lar place all by their lonesome at on 3-0. They also became the first for team since 1950 — as far back hile as the Stats LLC. database s goes — to overcome deficits of 4 18 points or more in back-tong back weeks and win. But how it happened still ek amazes me so much to the d a point of utter shock and hts speechlessness likely similar to the first person that ever te witnessed a rainbow. k Well, it’s not like I had never a seen the Bills beat the Patriots, but to be honest, it was starting to feel like I’d never see he it again. I was in high school the last time that happened be and even then I remembered ss thinking “finally”. Don’t forget the Bills had lost d five in a row prior to that e measly Bills win in 2003.

Fredonia Girl’s Soccer Led By Boettcher

Upstart Bills End Misery With New England, Move To 3-0 And before you knew it — with a roughing the passer and a pass interference to aid the Bills — Fred Jackson plunged in from the 1-yard line and the Bills had tied the game in less than a minute. Of course, what happened next might just be the most memorable play of this era in Bills history. On the first play of the Patriots ensuing drive, Brady’s pass deflected off Marcell Dareus’ head and fell innocently into the hands of Drayton Florence who scampered home untouched to put the Bills ahead. It had to be the wildest moment at the Ralph since Wilson ran back an interception against the Cowboys on Monday night four years ago. But, unlike Sunday, many would try to forget that night quickly after the Bills lost on a last second field goal by Nick Folk. Sunday was different from then, just how it’s been different as seemingly every single other game the Bills have played in the last decade. They move the ball when they need to score and they make a play on defense when the game is on the line. Moreover, they’re not the ones dropping passes (see: Chad Ochocinco) throwing interceptions (see: Brady) or forcing officials to throw a yellow garment on the field (see: Logan Mankins, Sergio Brown and Kyle Love). These Bills are different, and after the Patriots stormed back to tie the game at 31 with a little less than three minutes left in the game, there was actually a buzz throughout the stadium of confidence the the Bills were going to come down and score. Gailey talked about changing the attitude of the team when he took over, and it’s hard to argue he hasn’t, especially with the fans. Once Fred Jackson’s touchdown catch-and-run was called back to the 1-yard-line, the game was all but over. Bills fans got to see the supremely hated Bill Belichick vigorously pace the sidelines, but I’m sure his mind was running faster than his legs or mouth, as he had to wonder how he had just lost to the Buffalo Bills. For some reasons, things are different. I keep thinking I’m going to wake up and it’s the morning of Opening Day against the Chiefs. Surely something isn’t right about everything going the Bills’ way. But then again, maybe it’s just the Bills time. Because this time, it was Brady sitting on the sideline in disbelief. This time it was Rian Lindell booting a game-winning field goal. And heck this time it was the Buffalo Bills sitting all alone in first place.

Bonnies Basketball To ‘Define Legacy’ in 2011-12 Contributed Article

St. Bonaventure Sports Information

St. Bonaventure Athletic Department officials unveiled the winning slogan for the 2011-12 basketball season on Tuesday: "Defining Our Legacy." The winner of the contest is SBU senior Spencer Timkey, whose original submission of "St. Bonaventure Basketball: Define Your Legacy" was altered slightly. The "Defining Our Legacy" slogan captures an on-going theme for the much-anticipated men’s and women’s

basketball seasons as both teams look to build further upon past success. The "Our" portion of the slogan includes both players and fans alike; players to write their legacy and fans to help write that legacy through their support and attendance at the Reilly Center each game night.

Timkey’s slogan will be used across multiple mediums – print ads, TV commercials, radio spots, billboards, etc. – throughout the season. Additionally, he will receive four tickets and four Hall of Fame passes for a game of his choice. More than 50 submissions

were sent to the athletics Twitter account (@Go_Bonnies) and Facebook page (St. Bonaventure Athletics), and department officials would like to thank all fans for their creative ideas. The basketball season will kick off with Brown & White Night, a midnight-madness style event, at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 15. An exhibition doubleheader is set for Friday, Nov. 4, while the men’s home opener is slated for Nov. 11 against Cornell. The women open the home portion of their season Nov. 20 opposite Morgan State.

CLASS D SUPREMECY continued from pg 1 Frewsburg in their opener, the Cardinals haven’t had much of a problem getting off to a 4-0 start. Anthony Schwartz and Brent Robbins have done a majority of the damage via the ground. The option offense Randolph employs has been near unstoppable this season with that duo in the backfield. Robbins ran for six touchdowns in Randolph’s last two games, including a massive four-touchdown

game against Silver Creek. Two of which were longer than 50 yards. Schwartz, meanwhile, scampered for three touchdowns against Portville. If those two aren’t hurting, quarterback John Morgante has the ability to beat you with his arm and his legs. He threw two deep touchdowns against Silver Creek that basically broke the back of the Black Knights. So Friday’s game will tell us a lot about where Class D

stands. Both teams have put up huge offensive numbers, while completely shutting down opposing offenses. Thus, something has to give. If Randolph wins, they’ll win the division. If Maple Grove wins, they’ll have to wait for a chance to clinch the division until next week when the face Frewsburg. Since both teams will only have one league game left, Randolph could finish no worse than 4-1, which is as good as Maple Grove could

finish. But the Cardinals would have the head-tohead tiebreaker. Frewsburg is the wild card with also just one league loss (to Randolph). What’s so important? Well, all six teams in Class D will make the playoffs, and with the top two teams getting a first round bye and a home playoff game in Week 2, you can be sure these games won’t be thought of as just seeding games.

Cure for slow play is in course design

Stan Badz/US PGA TOUR

It’s official: The guy who helped cause the problem is now part of the solution. No, I’m not talking about Barney Frank and the housing industry collapse. I’m talking about Jack Nicklaus and the slow play crisis. When Jack was playing, you could time him with a sundial; like Lot’s wife, Nicklaus stood frozen over every shot -and millions copied him. But that wasn’t his biggest contribution to slow play; that honor is reserved for the almost-impossible course layouts he built. The Nicklaus course design philosophy was recorded in an interview with Golfweek writer Bradley Klein a few years ago: “I don’t take a lot of special consideration for women. It’s like, ‘How do you design a course for a man who shoots 110?’” The Surly Pro answers that instead of designing a course for a man to shoot 110 and lose seven balls over five hours, you could design a course so he shoots 80 and it takes him only two hours and one ball to do it. Granted, as Nicklaus aged and his ability to play his own courses diminished, he softened his layouts. But not so with other architects like Pete Dye, who still builds courses that are so hard it takes five hours or more to play even if you’re an expert. To speed up play, some, including Nicklaus, are suggesting playing only 12 holes, as was done last week in a golf tournament at a Nicklaus course in Ohio. Say what? That’s like wanting to shoot 72 and then ending your round when you get to 72 strokes — a solution that accomplishes the goal, but destroys the process. A tip from the Surly Pro: Never mind playing 12 holes — instead, stop building such difficult golf courses. NICKLAUS

License to drive

As an exercise, I sometimes ask my students to play a round of golf in which they move every tee shot on the par 4s and 5s to the 150-yard marker in the center of the fairway. Almost without exception, they play the best round of the year. The reason I do this is to teach them the importance of the driver. The value of being a good driver of the ball is depreciated when tour pros talk about nothing but putting in their after-round interviews. But as I’ve said many times, you can bet that the guy who said, “Drive for show, putt for dough,” was already a great driver of the ball. It doesn’t help much to knock in a 30-footer for an eight after hitting two balls in the water off the tee. So let’s get down to the particulars of driving the golf ball. At Address On all normal driver shots, tee your ball just outside the front side of your chest, about even with your armpit. To make sure your ball location is correct, lay a club shaft on the ground perpendicular to your ball and touching your front heel. If you want to hit your shot higher, to take advantage of a wind at your back or to clear an obstacle, move your ball out to the tip of your shoulder. But be careful to also move the ball a little closer to you since your club head will be slightly inside the target line at impact as it follows the rounded path of your swing. Also make sure to check that your shoulder alignment is square because as your ball moves forward, your shoulders open.

Note that just because ABOUT THE WRITER a hole is long, Dr. T.J. Tomasi is you may not a teaching always need professional a driver off in Port St. Lucie, Fla. the tee. Tests Visit his show that a Web site at driver and tjtomasi.com. a 3-iron of equal shaft length go about the same distance in the air, so downwind you might use your 3-iron for more accuracy. Weight Transfer Start with a weight distribution at address of 70 percent on your trail side and 30 percent on your target side. Your driver swing requires a long, flowing motion with a big turn and a significant weight transfer. By the time you arrive at the top of your swing, you’ll have 80 to 90 percent of your weight on your trail side. By the time you get to impact, the majority of your weight transfers to your front side (about 95 percent). At the finish, all your weight is on your left side. Best Driver Drill To learn to control your driver swing, tee up two balls side by side. Using your hip speed as the governor, hit the first one at full power and the second at three-quarter power. When you gain control of your swing, you’ll be able to produce the two different distances almost every time. That will help you on the course to attack with your driver when you need to and play safe when you ought to.

The rule of thumb is to tee your driver so that the top edge of the clubhead is level with the bottom of the ball, slightly higher if you have an extra big clubface.

When you need your longest drive, take it back extra slow and smooth with featherligh t grip pressure.

THE GOLF DOCTOR

GOLF BY THE NUMBERS

Should you wear a golf glove?

1%: According to fueleconomy. gov, carrying an extra 100 pounds in the trunk of your car, can decrease your gas mileage by 2 percent. So if you carry a 50-pound golf bag in your trunk, you could be costing yourself about 1 percent in fuel consumption. 11: The record for consecutive years on the Champions Tour with multiple wins — 11 — was set by Hale Irwin in 2005.

You may have noticed that when your hands are soaked your fingers wrinkle. Wikipedia speculates, “Some researchers have proposed that this wrinkling response may have imparted an evolutionary benefit by providing improved traction in wet conditions.” This wrinkling reaction may have

an “evolutionary benefit,” but in my experience, it also has a golf benefit. Here’s my rule of thumb: When the water comes from the inside of the glove in the form of perspiration, the glove works well. But when moisture comes from outside (such as rain), then a glove probably doesn’t work as well as your own skin.

ASK THE PRO Q: I have arthritis in my right hand and it’s hard for me to play. What can I do to stop the pain? — Melanie A: More than 40 million Americans are afflicted by this disease, and unfortunately there isn’t much you can take for arthritic hands. But there are some things you can do outside of medication to make playing golf more pain-free. Since arthritic hands can prevent you from closing your fingers around the club, experiment with jumbo-sized grips that allow you to wrap your fingers more loosely around the club. You can also try weightlifter’s gloves that feature open fingers and padding across the palms to dampen vibrations. Another tactic is stuffing a thin sheet of foam rubber in an oversized golf glove between the glove and your palm. Consider using graphite shafts, which are softer to hit, or using plugs you can put in your shafts that further cut the jarring from off-center hits.

TEEING OFF

Pace you play under pressure Golf is played in four dimensions: height, width, depth (the three spatial dimensions) and time. You have an elaborate system of sensors (eyes, ears, hands, etc.) that interprets the spatial dimensions, but you have no sensor for time. Time itself, the “when” of your swing, is an internal sense that plots the sequence of your world. According to neuroscientist Ann Graybiel of MIT, a network of neurons in the brain stamps events as they are sensed: “All you do is time stamp everything, and then recalling events is easy; you go back and look through your time stamps until you see which ones are correlated with the event.” This stamping process allows your brain to remember key sequences, including physical motions like your golf swing so that you recall not only the “what” of your swing (the mechanics like grip), but also the “when,” an ability I call the Time IQ. Thus the key to playing consistently good golf under all conditions and for long stretches is controlling your Time IQ. In normal situations, the average player’s swing matches the beat of his natural internal tempo. The danger is overdoing it under pressure. When the heat is on, fast players tend to get too fast, and slow players too slow. Controlling tempo down the home stretch is where winners excel. A famous case in point is that of hyper Nick Price on his way to the British Open Championship a few years ago. The player he beat, fast-paced Jesper Parnevik, became impatient, and that cost him a major. One player controlled his Time IQ under pressure, the other did not. How do you control your tempo? The first step is to analyze your behavior and prepare a suitable intervention. If you are quick-paced, then practice ways to slow down — take deep breaths, walk at a leisurely pace and talk slowly. If you slow down too much under pressure, pick up the pace of your walking, hum an up-tempo tune, and be the first one out of the cart and onto the tee box. The takeaway: Since tempo controls your golf swing, you can control your swing by controlling your tempo.

47 million: An estimated 47 million people in the USA are affected by Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). Its symptoms range from debilitating lethargy and depression so acute that sufferers can’t go outside the house to small disruptions in their daily routine that are only slightly annoying. SAD can be helped by being out in the sun, so here’s another good reason to play golf.

DON’T MISS IT If these measures don’t relieve the pain, I suggest you tee up every shot or carry a small mat to hit off. The mat will give a bit when you hit the shot, and that will save your hands. Although this is against the rules of the game, it will allow you to play a casual round of golf without worrying about inflaming your hands. Also, eliminate long irons and even medium-length irons, replacing them with the more user-friendly hybrids that are now readily available. Last, take some lessons. The majority of the vibration that aggravates your arthritis is caused by off-center hits that force the clubhead to twist in your hands. As your swing improves, the number of centered hits will also, and there’s nothing that feels better than a shot hit dead in the center of the clubface.

With Extended Losing Streak, Ironmen Looking To Add Offense four minutes into the second period when Zak Thompson scored. James Kline added another later in the period and the Ironmen found themselves down two goals despite only being outshot 24-19 through 40 minutes. But the Ironmen were given a second life when Thompson was called for roughing just 30 seconds into the third. Seconds later, Wes Elrod drilled home a powerplay goal and Jamestown was right back in it. But, things weren’t meant to be and the Ironmen sent three players to the box before it was all said and done and lost 4-1. “We played well but just made too many mistakes,” Daikawa said. “We had plenty of shots and if we don’t make those four mistakes, we’re right there.” Regardless, the Ironmen had to hit the road quick and travel to Kalamazoo for Saturday’s game.

By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

It was another tough weekend for the Jamestown Ironmen as a two-day road trip ended up with a pair of tough losses where the offense was again nowhere to be found. The Ironmen lost 4-1 Friday night to the Michigan Warriors, a team head coach Dan Daikawa said is one of the strongest in the league. Then Saturday the Ironmen battled penalty after penalty and wound up losing 2-1 to Kalamazoo to extend their pointless streak to six games. “We’re not there yet, but we’re not far off,” Daikawa said. Against Michigan, the Ironmen came out flying, battling toe-to-toe with a Warriors team still yet to lose in regulation (5-0-1). After a scoreless first period that saw an even amount of shots (13-11 Michigan) the Warriors finally broke through

fall short, as they were unable to find the equalizer. “We started too late there in the (Kalamazoo game),” Daikawa said. “We have to play for 60 minutes. We still think we’re a better team than (Kalamazoo).” Now Jamestown must regroup, as they get ready for another road trip this weekend, with Michigan Friday and Port Huron Saturday. However, the team is already working on adding a couple of new faces to the lineup, changes Daikawa says need to be made. They brought in defenseman Aleksa Lukovic, a 6-foot-4 native of Belgrade, Serbia, to bulk up the blue line. Although the defense was thought to be a strength, their lack of size has seemed to be a little bit of a problem. They also traded for Jake Pollock, a forward who started the season with Kenai River, although as of Tuesday

Different city, but same result as Jamestown again couldn’t find enough offense to win the game. The overnight trip surely might have contributed, as the Ironmen were outshot 11-6 and were lucky to be trailing by just one goal. Kalamazoo added another goal in the second — another on the powerplay — and it looked like another long night was ahead. In total, Jamestown took nine penalties in the first 40 minutes, including a 10-minute game misconduct from captain Aaron Scheppelman. “We killed 5-on-3’s for almost the entire first two periods,” Daikawa said. “Just a lot of dumb, lazy calls.” However Jamestown came out in the third firing. They peppered 13 shots on goal and finally broke through with just less than three minutes left in the game when Corey Beaulieu scored. But, their last-minute charge would

night, Daikawa wasn’t sure if he was going to report to the team. Daikawa also said his team has been working out two former players this week who could earn roster spots by the weekend. In addition, he’s been in contact with players recently cut by teams in the United States Hockey League (USHL) the top tier of junior hockey in the United States. “We’re going to keep making changes until we get better,” Daikawa said. “We’re looking to add guys that can help out our offense. The players are well aware of it and we’ve told the guys that the players we’ve brought in are competing for your spot. It’s made for some intense practices and that’s a good thing. “Right now we’ve got a bunch of 17 and 18 year olds and they’re used to playing in a totally different league. They’ve gone from being big fish in a small pond to small fish in a big pond. But we’re all trying to get better everyday.”

Sabres Assign Veterans Kotalik, Morrisonn To AHL Contributed Article Associated Press

The Buffalo Sabres assigned forward Ales Kotalik and defenseman Shaone Morrisonn to their American Hockey League affiliate in Rochester after both high-priced veterans cleared waivers on Monday. The moves came two days after both players were waived in allowing the Sabres to get their payroll under the NHL's $64.3 million salary cap. Buffalo was projected to be a little over $3 million over the cap, and Kotalik and Morrisonn combined to make about $5 million in the final year of their respective contracts this season. The 32-year-old Kotalik was acquired along with defenseman Robyn Regehr in a trade with Calgary in June. It's a homecoming for Kotalik, who was drafted by Buffalo in 1998 and eventually spent six-plus seasons with the Sabres. The 28-year-old Morrisonn had a goal and four assists in 62 games last season, his first with Buffalo after being signed in free agency. Earlier in the day, the Sabres assigned 14 players, including 2009 first-round draft pick Zack Kassian, to Rochester. Kassian's demotion was not unexpected after

Ales Kotalik

general manager Darcy Regier suggested last summer that he'd prefer the hard-hitting forward have more time to develop in the minors after completing his Canadian junior eligibility last season. Among the other notable players demoted on Monday were forwards Marcus Foligno, son of former Sabres captain Mike Foligno, and Michael Ryan, and defensemen T.J. Brennan and Dennis Persson. The moves leave the Sabres with 25 players (15 forwards, seven defensemen and three goalies) with two preseason games remaining. They then travel to Europe next week to open their season against Anaheim at Helsinki, Finland on Oct. 7.

Lions Stun Vikings For First 3-0 Start Since 1980 By Dave Campbell Associated Press

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — That 20-0 halftime deficit under the Metrodome might've stifled many of their predecessors, but these Detroit Lions weren't deterred. Each week, it seems, they're stopping some kind of long losing trend. That 20-point halftime lead held by the Vikings? It still wasn't big enough for a team making a troubling habit of second-half stumbles. Matthew Stafford threw two touchdown passes in the second half to Calvin Johnson to rally Detroit, and Jason Hanson's fourth field goal of the game gave the Lions a 2623 overtime victory over the Vikings on Sunday. The Lions (3-0) have the league's longest active winning streak at seven straight games, including the final four contests of last season. Heck, they even won all four of their preseason games. Yes, the Lions, who hadn't won in Minnesota since 1997. “This is what I expect from this team,'' defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh said. Yes, the Lions, who haven't started a season with three straight wins since 1980. “It goes to show we're not going to lay down. We saw in their first two games they got relaxed after they had a big lead. We felt if we started to put some points up we could get in their head if we continued to make plays,'' said Johnson, whose Willie Mays-style over-the-shoulder 40-yard sideline catch with Cedric Griffin in tight coverage set up Hanson's winner less than two minutes into extra time. The Vikings (0-3) insisted they didn't relax. They took extra steps to avoid just that and emerge from the intermission with the same edge, having squandered a

17-7 lead at San Diego in a 24-17 loss and blown a 17-0 advantage to Tampa Bay in a 24-20 defeat. Defensive end Jared Allen, who had three of their five sacks of Stafford, was just as active in the locker room and on the sideline as he was on the rush — frequently exhorting his teammates to not let up. Afterward, spirits were sagged. “It ain't lack of effort. We've got talented guys, and we see what happens when we fire on all cylinders: People can't move the ball on us,'' Allen said. “Something's not right.'' The numbers behind Minnesota's tale of two halves this season are stunning. The Vikings have outscored their foes over the first and

second quarters 54-7. Their cumulative post-halftime deficit is 67-6, with just one of 15 third downs converted by their offense and 13 of 22 by their opponents. “I'll tell you this: There will be adjustments. This won't happen again. This will not happen again,'' said Adrian Peterson, who finished with 78 yards rushing and a touchdown for the Vikings, but only five yards on five carries after halftime. The signature moment for the Vikins in this game was early in the fourth quarter, facing fourth-and-1 at Detroit's 17yard line. The crowd was revved up and the players on offense so determined to score that they waved at the field-goal unit to stay off the field. Head coach

White Sox Agree To Let Guillen Out Of Contract By Rick Gano Associated Press

CHICAGO (AP) — Ozzie Guillen’s eight years as manager of the Chicago White Sox were never dull. His pre-game briefings were great theater. Opinions flew, so did fourletter words, brazen answers, often raucous laughter and interesting yarns. Guillen did OK on the field, too, leading the White Sox to the World Series championship in 2005, their first since 1917. And even though Chicago has returned to the playoffs just once since that remarkable run, Guillen’s managerial talents didn’t seem to have diminished. Certainly not in his mind. With the White Sox struggling through a disappointing season and Guillen signed only through next year after his option was picked up in January, he wanted a contract extension. Owner Jerry Reinsdorf listened but declined to give Guillen the extra years and money he wanted. So Guillen asked to be released from his contract and the White Sox agreed to do so Monday night, ending a long relationship that began when Guillen spent 13 seasons as the team’s shortstop from 1985-1997. “I told my wife I wouldn’t cry,” Guillen said — and he didn’t during his final news conference. He said he did get emotional when he gathered his players

before Monday night’s game against Toronto — the White Sox sent him out a winner, 4-3 — and told them he was leaving. “No regrets, no regrets,” Guillen said. “Very disappointed in this year, yes.” Next stop? He’s leaving for a vacation to Spain on Friday. But his name is being linked to the Florida Marlins with Jack McKeon announcing his retirement. Guillen was the Marlins’ third base coach under McKeon when they won the World Series in 2003. “I like Ozzie,” McKeon said Monday. “I think he’s a very, very intelligent manager. He was a smart player. He’s a good man. I like him.” If Guillen did become manager of the Marlins, it would cost Miami some sort of compensation. The Marlins talked to Chicago last year about acquiring Guillen, but the deal never materialized. They could bring him in now to lead the club into a new ballpark next season. Guillen said he had no idea where he might end up but he’s aware of the reports about the Marlins. “It could be anybody. They sound like they are interested,” Guillen said. “They just let me go to talk to whoever I want, anyone I want. Right now, a lot of people are talking about Florida because as a team, a lot of rumors are out there.” Guillen, who had a 678-617 record with the White Sox, will not be in uniform for the

Ozzie Guillen

remaining two games this year. Bench coach Joey Cora will run the team. Guillen has credentials. He’s the only manager in franchise history to lead the White Sox to more than one division or league title. Chicago also made the playoffs under Guillen in 2008. He thought his body of work deserved more than being a lame duck manager next season. And he said his rocky relationship with general manager Ken Williams was really not the issue. “It was my call and I appreciated the White Sox organization letting me do what I like to do and what is best,” he said. “Maybe not the best, maybe it’s the worst. You don’t know what is out there. Maybe I’m dreaming. I might not appreciate what I got here. You don’t know. You have to close the page and move on. That’s life. Hopefully the next book treats me the way this book treated me.”

Leslie Frazier decided to go for it, refusing to settle for a kick with the Lions roaring back and within three points. Toby Gerhart was stood up at the line after a quick inside handoff, and the Lions went the other way to tie the game. “We were positive that we could get it. We worked on it in practice. They didn't do anything that we didn't expect,'' Frazier said. The Vikings were too consumed — and confused — by their own collapse to recognize the significance of this win for the Lions. Stafford completed 32 of 46 passes for 378 yards, and he saved his best throw of the day for his last to Johnson. With blitzing linebacker Chad Greenway in Stafford's grill, the third-year quarterback heaved a pass off his back foot in Johnson's direction. The 6-foot-5 Johnson hauled in the ball with Griffin all over him, and Hanson calmly came out to end the game. “We have good players. We just needed to settle down. The worst thing we could do was to throw gasoline on the fire,'' said Lions head coach Jim Schwartz, who charged on the field and pumped his fist after the victory. “I have a lot of confidence in this team, a lot of confidence that if we're in a slump then we're going to break out of it.'' The Lions rushed for only 20 yards on 19 attempts, and the Vikings put Stafford under constant pressure. In the first half, he threw to a lot of empty spots on the turf, looking out of sync with his receivers. But he found his groove in the middle of the field with tight end Brandon Pettigrew, who had 11 catches and 112 yards. “We got back to what we do best: spreading the ball around, playing fast, getting up on the line of scrimmage,'' Stafford said. “Guys were making plays for me. That's all I can say.''

NBA Postpones Camps, Cancels 43 Preseason Games By Brian Mahoney AP Basketball Writer

NEW YORK (AP) — The lockout has started doing real damage to the NBA's calendar. Players won't report at the usual time. The preseason won't start as scheduled. And more cancellations could be necessary without a new labor deal soon. Out of time to keep everything intact, the NBA postponed training camps indefinitely and canceled 43 preseason games Friday because it has not reached an agreement with players. All games from Oct. 9-15 are off, the league said. Camps were expected to open Oct. 3. “We have regretfully reached the point on the calendar where we are not able to open training camps on time and need to cancel the first week of preseason games,'' Deputy Commissioner Adam Silver said in a statement. “We will make further decisions as warranted.'' The players' association did not comment. NBA.com's schedule page, which has a banner across the top listing the number of games on each day, was changed Friday morning to read “0 Games'' for each date until Oct. 16, when there are four games. Those could be in jeopardy, too, without an agreement by the end of this month or very early October. The league scrapped the remainder of its preseason schedule on Oct. 6 in 1998, when the regular season was reduced to 50 games. That remains the only time the NBA has lost games to a work stoppage. The cancellations were inevitable after Thursday's meeting between owners

and players ended without a collective bargaining agreement. Both sides still hope the entire regular season, scheduled to begin Nov. 1, can be saved. The league locked out the players on July 1 after the expiration of the old labor agreement. Owners and players still haven't agreed on how to divide revenues — players were guaranteed 57 percent under the previous deal — or the structure of the salary cap. The next talks aren't scheduled, but both sides said Thursday they hope to meet again next week — though the window could be limited because of the Jewish holiday and a union meeting Tuesday in Miami. They probably need a deal by the middle of October to avoid canceling real games. Asked Thursday if he thought things were far enough along to still believe that was possible, Commissioner David Stern said: “I don't have any response to that. I just don't. I don't know the answer.'' According to NBA policy, ticket holders for canceled games will be refunded the cost of the ticket plus 1 percent interest. The NBA had long prepared for a shortened or canceled preseason, declining to schedule exhibition games overseas for the first time since 2005 — also when a labor pact was set to expire. Still, the hope had been to find a way to negotiate a deal in time that would allow the ball to be tipped as scheduled in Detroit and Orlando on Oct. 9, the first of five games that night. Realistic chances of that passed in recent days, given the expectation of about two weeks from a deal in principle to a completed agreement.

LSU Is New No. 1 In AP Top 25, OU No. 2 By Ralph D. Russo Associated Press

Another decisive victory away from home pushed LSU to No. 1 in The Associated Press college football poll for the first time since 2007. The Tigers bumped Oklahoma from the top spot Sunday after winning 47-21 at West Virginia the night before. The Sooners had been No. 1 since the preseason. They stayed unbeaten with a 38-28 victory at home against Missouri. LSU received 42 first-place votes from the 60-member media panel and 1,471 points. Oklahoma received 12 firstplace votes and 1,422 points. Last week, Oklahoma had 37 first-place votes and LSU had 14. No. 3 Alabama received five first-place votes and No. 4 Boise State had one. Oklahoma State jumped two spots to No. 5 after winning at Texas A&M. In the USA Today coaches' poll, Oklahoma is still No. 1, with LSU and Alabama tied for second. The Tigers haven't been No. 1 since winning the national championship in 2007. The Tigers held the top ranking for four weeks during the regular season that year. LSU (4-0) added the victory against West Virginia to wins over Oregon at Dallas Cowboys Stadium and at Mississippi State. “The Tigers just didn't just beat these teams. They dominated two of the three (Oregon, West Virginia) without even trying run up the score,'' said Ron Higgins of The Commercial Appeal in Memphis. All three were ranked at the time the Tigers played them. “We have a real strong road personality,'' LSU coach Les Miles said. “I think there's some real confidence for this football team that no matter what the environment is, you know, we can play.'' Oklahoma certainly hasn't struggled, with wins against Tulsa, at Florida State and Missouri.

Though Sooners linebacker Travis Lewis sort of predicted the demotion Saturday night after the Missouri game. “We played like a 25th-, 30th-ranked team,'' he said. “We are not the No. 1 ranked team in the nation right now.'' Losing the top spot in the polls after a victory isn't uncommon. It happened once last season and twice the season before. For now, the Tigers' resume' has swayed voters. The schedule doesn't let up much for LSU, though the Tigers do play at home the next two weeks against Kentucky (2-2) and No. 12 Florida (4-0). No. 6 is Stanford, followed by Wisconsin and Nebraska. The seventh-ranked Badgers will welcome the eight-ranked Cornhuskers to the Big Ten on Saturday in Madison, as Nebraska plays its first game in its new conference. Oregon is No. 9 and South Carolina is 10th. No. 11 Virginia Tech hosts No. 13 Clemson in the Atlantic Coast Conference's biggest game of the upcoming. The Tigers moved up eight spots after beating Florida State 35-30 in Death Valley. The Seminoles slipped 12 spots to No. 23 after its second consecutive loss. No. 12 Florida hosts Alabama in the SEC's biggest game. Texas A&M slipped six spots to No. 14 after losing to Oklahoma State. Baylor and quarterback Robert Griffin III, who has 13 touchdown passes against only 12 incomplete passes this season, is 15th. No. 16 South Florida is followed by Texas, Arkansas, Michigan and TCU. The final five were Georgia Tech, West Virginia, which slipped six spots, Florida State, Illinois and Arizona State. The Sun Devils slipped back into the rankings after snapping an 11-game losing streak to Southern California with a 43-22 victory. USC was the only team to fall out of the rankings this week.

Fitzpatrick went 27 of 40 for 369 yards and two touchdowns. Jackson once again provided a spark with 72 yards rushing and a touchdown, and 87 yards receiving, including a 38-yard catch that set up Lindell's decisive kick. The Patriots (2-1) had a 10-game regularseason winning streak snapped and suddenly find themselves looking up in the standings at Buffalo. Aside from their 15-game win streak, third longest in NFL history for one franchise against another, the Pats had won 20 of the past 21 over the Bills. “Obviously, it was a disappointing loss for us today,” Patriots coach Bill Belichick said. “We've just got to do a better job.”

Wes Welker had 16 catches for a franchise record 217 yards and two scores, and Rob Gronkowski also scored twice. Tom Brady went 30 of 45 for 386 yards and four scores for New England, but uncharacteristically unraveled. Despite setting a league record for most yards passing over a three-game stretch, Brady matched a career worst with four interceptions. That included Drayton Florence's 27-yard interception return for a touchdown with 10:22 left that came 14 seconds after Jackson tied the game at 24 with a 1-yard plunge. “We played a good football team and made too many mistakes,” said Brady, whose four interceptions against Buffalo matched the

number he had all of last season. “It's never easy. ... We had too many turnovers, too many penalties that allowed them to get some easy plays. ... I just wish we would have made a few less mistakes.” Dating to 1950, the Bills became the only team to overcome deficits of at least 18 points to win in consecutive weeks, according to STATS LLC. In fact, only five teams had previously won twice in one season when trailing by 18 or more points. The last team to do so: the Patriots in 1996. The game wasn't decided until the final four minutes, and after Brady led the Patriots back to tie the score at 31 on a 6-yard touchdown pass to Welker — on fourth-and-goal, no less. Back marched the Bills, who got the ball back with 3:25 left. Fitzpatrick needed only three plays to get the Bills into scoring position. Facing first-and-10 at the Patriots 39, Fitzpatrick hit Jackson on a short crossing pattern over the middle. Jackson broke loose and was attempting to dive into the end zone before being tackled from behind by Devin McCourty. Officials initially ruled Jackson had scored before having it overturned on video review. That wound up an advantage to the Bills, who ran down the clock by kneeling. The Patriots ran out of timeouts — and composure as an unsportmanlike conduct penalty against Vince Wilfork gave Buffalo another set of downs at the 1. All it took was Lindell to line up and hit a chip shot with the crowd cheering and standing on its feet. “That's the loudest I've ever heard it in here,” Lindell said. “Certainly they've been the team to beat. It's definitely a step in the right direction.” Stevie Johnson had eight catches for 94 yards and a touchdown for Buffalo. Tight end Scott Chandler also scored on a 3-yard catch.

Bills Finally Beat Patriots On Lindell’s Game-Winning Field Goal

d s — Time to Bill-ieve? 7 us Ryan Fitzpatrick and the new-look, resilient, win-in-the-clutch Buffalo Bills are showing they're for real after producing their second consecutive stunning comeback victory — this d- time against their AFC East nemesis, the New England Patriots. eet h Rian Lindell hit a 28-yard field goal as time ted expired to cap a 34-31 win over the Patriots in day which the Bills overcame a 21-0 second-quardayter deficit and snapped a 15-game losing streak against New England. of It was a win for the new generation of Bills, g who don't know any better. And the victory was particularly cherished by senior members such as linebacker Chris Kelsay, one of four Buffalo players still on hand since the team's ve last victory over New England, in the 2003 s- season opener. “It's the biggest win of my career. I can't think e of any bigger,” Kelsay said. “To beat these guys t at home, in front of our fans, with the way they're behind us despite being down early, it's huge. I'll never forget it.” d Former Bills lineman Ruben Brown hugged e Buffalo players as they ran up the tunnel. Runer- ning back Fred Jackson ran around the field carrying a Bills flag. And stadium workers took ed no chances, first guarding the goal posts before d lowering them on their own before fans got any ideas. s It was that kind of euphoric win for a team attempting to turn around a dreadful past in which it has gone 11 seasons without making re. the playoffs. o The Bills (3-0) won courtesy of yet another deal Fitzpatrick-led rally. And it was reminiscent of he what the Bills did in a 38-35 win over Oakland - a week earlier, when they scored touchdowns do on their final five possession to overcome a 21-3 deficit. c

Brossard Falls In Eastern Championship Final

Contributed Article

St. Bonaventure Sports Information

WEST POINT, N.Y. — Freshman Marissa Brossard, playing in the Eastern Championship final of the "B Singles" bracket on Sunday, lost to Massachusetts's Jessica Podlofsky as the St. Bonaventure women's tennis team completed its championship. The Florida native was the lone Bonnie to remain in competition following the opening rounds of competition as she entered Sunday competing in the championship of the "B Singles" bracket. Brossard fell in straight sets, 7-5; 6-3, to Podlofsky. Brossard was the only Bonnie to qualify for Sunday’s action. On Saturday, with 20 competing schools, players were broken into four singles brackets and two doubles brackets. Brossard was placed in the "B Singles" bracket, and after receiving a first-round bye she was able to defeat Seton Hall's Rocio Portela-Berrios, 8-5, in the Round of 16. The Florida native then proceeded to the Quarterfinals of the bracket where she downed Em-

ily Stein of Army in straight sets, 6-2; 7-5. That set up a Semifinal matchup with the No. 1 seed in the bracket, Massachusetts's Julia Comas, and Brossard advanced to Sunday's final with another straight-set victory, 6-2; 6-4. Due to rain in the area and limited indoor courts, when time permitted to play a traditional three-set match on the outdoor courts, that was the format which was used. However, when play was forced to move inside, pro-set scoring was used (one set, first to win eight games by two — like a typical doubles match would be scored), hence the difference in the singles scoring for Brossard and others through-

out the championship. While Brossard was the only Bonnie to make it to Sunday; however, nearly all players in the Brown and White picked up at least one win at the championship. Playing out of the "C Singles" bracket, senior Manuela Marin-Salcedo defeated Marist's Marielle Campbell in straight sets, 6-4; 7-5, before dropping a Round of 16 match to Stony Brook's Polina Movchan, 8-2. Once in the consolation bracket, MarinSalcedo lost to Providence's Taylor Corder, 8-4. Junior Amanda Pallikunnel earned a first-round victory in the "D Singles" bracket after

a hard-fought 6-2; 7-5 (10-4) battle with Connecticut's Natalie Robson. After losing to Rhode Island's Kathleen Uy in the Round of 16, 8-6, Pallikunnel was forced to withdraw due to injury while playing Army's Holly Pappafotis in the consolation bracket. After an opening-round loss to Lehigh's Abby Drucker, 6-4; 6-2, sophomore Andrea Pavlovic bounced back in the consolation bracket to pick up an 8-5 win over Hofstra's Paige Polizois. Playing out of the "A Singles" bracket, freshman Fatya Amiri dropped her opening match in straight sets against Fairleigh Dickinson's Julia Prantl, 6-1; 6-4. Prantl advanced all the way to the Semifinal of her bracket. In doubles action, juniors Kathryn Kvas and Riley Archer were partnered together in the "A Doubles" bracket, and earned a first-round win over Molly Brooks and Jillian Sloan of Lehigh, 8-3. The duo saw its championship run come to an end in the consolation bracket with an 8-1 setback to Hofstra's team of Malissa Galanchi and Sonia Tsay.

McKenna Finishes Fifth, Bonnies Finish Fourth At Cornell Invite Contributed Article

St. Bonaventure Sports Information

ITHACA, N.Y. — The St. Bonaventure golf team finished the Cornell Invitational in fourth place with a team score of 893 after junior Brian McKenna shot a team best, 2-under 70 in the final round of the event on Sunday. McKenna used that score to vault himself into a tie for fifth place overall with a total score

of 217 for the weekend. McKenna finished just one stroke shy of a tie for second. Junior Greg Horvath was consistent throughout the weekend firing rounds of 73, 74 and 73 to finish at 220 (+4) and in a tie for 12th. Senior Kevin Lewis shot an opening round of 69, but closed with rounds of 78 and 77 (224, +8) to finish in a tie for 22nd. Binghamton University emerged as the winner of the event with a collective

team score of 871. Columbia University, the leader through the first two rounds, finished three strokes back with a score of 874 in the field of 14 teams. Freshman Pierce Terrance shot a 76 in the final round, his best of the weekend to finish with a score of 234 (+18), good for 49th overall. Sophomore Chris Mackey shot back-to-back scores of 78 in the first two rounds but posted an 85 in the final round to finish with a score of

241 (+25) and in a tie for 60th. Freshman Daniel Dunnigan competed as an individual, meaning his score did not factor into the overall score of the team. Dunnigan fired rounds of 86, 78 and 83 (247, +31) and finished in a tie for 71st overall. The Bonnies will be in action again Oct. 3 and 4 at the John Telich, Sr. Cleveland State Invitational at Canterbury G.C. in Cleveland, Ohio.

into the very top of the left corner of the net for his first goal of the campaign. "I'm really happy for Josh," head coach Mel Mahler said of one of his two seniors. "He's been battling injuries all year, and the goal was an absolutely brilliant finish." After a slow opening 30 minutes of the contest in which there was a lot of physical play in the middle two-thirds of the field, the game opened up and it was Cornell getting on the board first. A long throw-in from just in front of the Bona bench on the left sideline from Jake Rinow found its way into the middle of the box. From there, the ball was headed from Patrick Slogic onto Conor Goepel, who had a wide-open net to deposit his second goal of the year. "We haven't won a home game

yet this year, and our goal was to get a home win," Mahler said. "But getting a tie is OK. We fought to the very end to get the tying goal, and in the process showed a lot of character. Cornell's disruptive style of play, its defensive shape and its counterattack made it hard for us to play our style. I thought we were the better team and had better possession of the ball, but at the end of the day that doesn't matter." Making his third start of the season — and of his career — freshman Bobby Diaz made five saves in net for the Bonnies. On the other side of the pitch, Rick Pflasterer made just one save, and Gonsalves's goal was the first one that the junior has surrendered in 501 minutes of action as he entered the contest riding a four-game shutout streak. A physical game throughout,

the Big Red were whistled for 21 total fouls, while the Bonnies committed 10, and four yellow cards were handed out by the referee. "We fell short in our goal of getting a win, but I'd like to believe we have a lot of positive things to build on," Mahler continued. "We get some time now to rest some players and get them healed. We're still searching for consistent starting 11. I was hoping to have more things in place by the end of the nonconference schedule, but with a combination of injuries and inexperience from the top to the bottom of roster, we're still searching for our identity." The Bonnies will have plenty of time to try and find that identity as the club is off until it opens its Atlantic 10 Conference docket next Friday, Oct. 7 against Duquesne in Pittsburgh.

Rosso put SBU on the board in the 38th minute - off assists from Kaitlyn Krisko and Shannon Van Riper - after a scramble in front of the Colgate net. Minutes later, the Bonnies appeared to go up 2-0 on a scoring corner kick from Hannah Lapp, but an SBU foul erased the goal and allowed the Raiders to counter quickly on the breakaway.

St. Bonaventure outshot Colgate 9-3 in the second half, but fell behind for good in the 78th when Colgate freshman Jenna Raepple found Jillian Kinter with a through ball that slipped by the Bona back line. Kinter took a quick touch to dodge keeper Jennifer Andrews and scored low of the left side. Andrews (1-1), who made two saves in the loss, entered the

St. Bonaventure senior Joshua Gonsalves scored an equalizing goal in the 88th minute, and after two scoreless overtime sessions the men's soccer team (4-5-1) settled for a 1-1 tie with visiting Cornell (4-1-3) Monday afternoon in its non-conference finale. With just two minutes remaining in regulation, Gonsalves received a pass down the right flank from sophomore Brad Vanino. Vanino had made a move in the open field to shake his defender, and created an angle to advance the ball forward. Once the ball was at his feet, Gonsalves cut back toward the middle of the field from the right side of the box. The Toronto native then placed a perfect shot with his left foot

New rules debut at Talladega

Second Chase win propels Stewart to standings leader Chase standings following the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway 1. Tony Stewart (finished first) 2,094 ; Leader After going winless in the 26-race regular season, he’s won the first two Chase races, both of which boiled down to fuel-mileage contests. But he sees the upcoming race at Dover International Speedway as a potential stumbling block. “That’s the one race in the Chase that I’m worried about most, so this is the best scenario we can have going into it,” he said. 2. Kevin Harvick (finished 12th) 2,087; behind -7 Fuel mileage worked in his favor at Chicagoland but against him at New Hampshire. “We needed to have gotten a little bit better fuel mileage than we got, but we were making a lot of horsepower,” said crew chief Gil Martin, who was pleased with his team’s position after two Chase races. 3. Brad Keselowski (finished second) 2,083; behind -11 His late-season surge continued as he scored a strong finish at a track where he hadn’t had much success in the past. “We’ve got some work to do on these shorttrack races, but we got some mile-and-a-halfs coming up where we’ve been really, really good,” he said. “I’m proud just to get through what looked to be a rough weekend with an awesome finish.”

4. Carl Edwards (finished eighth) 2,080; behind -14 A strong finish at one of his worst tracks keeps him solidly in the championship hunt. “I’m just glad to make it out of [New Hampshire] with something better than the 15th or 20th we should have run.” 5. Jeff Gordon (finished fourth) 2,071; behind -23 He rebounded from a disappointing Chicago run and gained six spots in the standings, the most of any Chase driver. And that was in spite of running out of fuel at one point and running conservatively at the end to save fuel. 6. Kyle Busch (finished 11th) 2,068; behind -26 After a so-so run at New Hampshire, he’s ready to move on to the upcoming tracks on the schedule. “We survived, and we’ll go on to Dover, which is usually a much better place for me,” he said. 7. Matt Kenseth (finished sixth) 2,068; behind -26 He bounced back from a disappointing outing at Chicago to run strong at New Hampshire. “I’m pretty encouraged because [New Hampshire] is probably one of my worst tracks,” he said. “We had a pretty fast car … We had good pit stops and good strategy and got a top 10 out of it.” 8. Dale Earnhardt Jr. (finished 17th) 2,068; behind -26 The only Chase driver without a race victory this season looked like he might have a winning car before tire troubles put him

behind at the end. He said the chassis setup on his car may have been too aggressive. 9. Kurt Busch (finished 25th) 2,066 ; behind -28 His day got off to a bad start when his No. 22 Dodge failed pre-race inspection. His crew worked up until race time to get it to NASCAR’s liking, but he and his team were behind from the start and lost five spots in the standings, the most of any Chase driver. 10. Jimmie Johnson (finished 18th) 2,065; behind -29 The five-time and defending Cup champion wasn’t up to his usual standards and wound up being the last driver on the lead lap at the finish. “In my experience in winning five [consecutive championships], we lost the points lead due to a wreck in the last lap at Talladega and still came back and won, so anything can happen,” he said. 11. Ryan Newman (finished 25th) 2,060; behind -34 The pole-sitter took off in a hurry and led early, but two slow pit stops and tire troubles ruined his run. “We just didn’t capitalize on what we could have,” he said. 12. Denny Hamlin (finished 29th) 2,028; behind -66 Last year’s points runner-up looked to be finally getting back into form, but he ran out of gas at the end. “Another tough day for us, but we’re just figuring out what we need to do to be a little bit more competitive,” he said.

The new rules imposed by NASCAR for the upcoming Talladega 500 at Talladega Superspeedway should make for more passing, according to drivers queried at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. The size of the restrictor plate that teams will use to prepare and practice for the race will increase by 1/64 inch to 57/64 inch diameter, creating an estimated seven to 10 more horsepower. Also, the pressure relief valve on the cars’ cooling system will be changed to reduce the pressure by about eight pounds per square inch from April’s race at Talladega, and teams no longer will be allowed to put oil or grease on the car’s bumper. The rules are expected to limit the amount of time two drivers can stay hooked up nose to tail in the two-car “tandem” draft. “I think with the new rules, it’s a step to make us pass more,” Jimmie Johnson said. “I don’t think we are going to be able to stay connected as long. Any time you put a bigger plate on the cars it allows for a larger closing rate with more opportunities to pass with more power.” But Johnson also said that doesn’t mean the end of tandem racing is in sight. “I don’t think the changes are large enough to have us not push,” he said. “That threshold for pushing, the grip level is still so high at the race track that I don’t think it’s going to separate us yet, but it should make for more passing.” Johnson went on to say that the change could bring back the giant packs of cars that once were commonplace at Talladega. “I don’t think we’ll be staying together as long,” he said. “We’ll be changing out more often, which could lead to us being in a big pack like some of the fans want to see.”

Un-flagged debris at Chicago There always have been questions in NASCAR about “mystery debris” caution flags, especially when a caution flag is displayed but no real debris is ever located. But during last Monday’s race at Chicagoland, it was the other way around. Drivers said they definitely saw debris, but no caution flag ever flew for it. “I thought that maybe it was my imagination or something, because I saw it and it looked like a piece of metal that got flung like a boomerang off a car and just took off at an amazing height,” Carl Edwards said. “I’m pretty sure it’s a piece of something that came off of a race car. As high as it was, I can’t imagine it made it back down to the surface. It probably ended up outside the race track.” But Edwards also said he likes it better when NASCAR officials aren’t so quick to bring out the caution and bunch the field, especially near the end of a race. “I know that could hurt or help you, but, in the end, I think it lets the races play out more naturally and lets the fastest cars, the ones with the best strategy, win instead of late race cautions to bunch things up,” he said.

Busch career wins now at 104 Kyle Busch ran his career win total in NASCAR’s top three divisions to 104 with a dominating performance in Saturday’s F.W. Webb 175 Camping World Truck Series race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. He started on the pole and led 165 of 175 laps and lapped all but five other drivers in the race, a race in which only six Camping World Truck Series entries finished on the lead lap. Austin Dillon finished second, nearly four seconds behind at the finish. Busch now has 30 victories in the truck series, six of them in just 14 starts this season, along with 51 in the Nationwide Series and 23 in Sprint Cup.

Drivers predict fuel mileage will play larger role throughout 2011 Chase Sprint Cup racing this season has been a gas for some drivers and a lack of it for others. Many races, including the past two – at Chicagoland and New Hampshire – have boiled down to fuelmileage contests. At Chicago, race leader Tony Stewart stretched his fuel to the end to win. Then, on Sunday at New Hampshire, he took the lead with two laps to go when Clint Bowyer’s tank ran dry. With tire wear not a significant issue at most tracks, the Car of Tomorrow being relatively easy to control, and the leader having an aerodynamic advantage over his pursuers, fuel mileage has become the deciding factor in many a race, particularly those that see long greenflag runs. Jeff Gordon was leading Sunday’s Sylvania 300 late in the race and appeared poised to win, but he ran out of fuel, resulting in a slow final pit stop. Then he had to conserve gas just to make it to the checkered flag in fourth position. “I don’t think that we wanted to see back-toback fuel mileage races like this, but it is kind of the name of the game these days,” Gordon said in his post-race interview. “Somehow we misjudged how far we could go on that second-to-the-last run, and we ran out … We didn’t feel like we were even close to running out, so it just shows you how important every little detail is.” Gordon said fuel conservation is “something that we need to be better at.” Drivers use various tactics to save gas, from coasting into the corners to depressing the clutch at times to even switching the ignition on and off. Most don’t want to divulge the details, for competitive reasons, as Carl Edwards pointed out.

Jeff Gordon, driver of the No. 24 Chevrolet, and Juan Pablo Montoya, driver of the No. 42 Chevrolet, lead a pack of cars at New Hampshire Motor Speedway during Sunday’s Sylvania 300, the second race of the 2011 Chase. (NASCAR photo) “I don’t think anyone wants to talk about the specifics, because that’s a part of the sport that’s becoming more important, and you want to get every advantage you can and keep every advantage you can with fuel mileage,” he said, adding that it’s not just drivers who seek new ways to stretch a tank of gas. “The engineers are working on it, the engine guys are working on it, and there are tricks that the drivers do.” Jimmie Johnson said fuel mileage will continue

to be a big factor as the Chase plays out. “This year I think we’ll see fuel mileage play a larger role in the championship than we have in years past,” he said. “Phoenix, it’s now repaved, and we were there for a tire test. You can’t wear the tire out on this new asphalt, so it’s going to be a fuel mileage race. “Talladega to a certain degree will. We have a lot of tracks with very low tire wear that will promote fuel-mileage races.”

‘50/50’ is Eﬀortlessly Aﬀecting By Christy Lemire AP Movie Critic

(AP) It could have been agonizingly mawkish: the story of a young man with everything ahead of him who learns he has a rare form of spinal cancer, one that he only has a 50-percent chance of surviving. The premise alone sounds like an insufferable drag, an example of eat-yourvegetables cinema, regardless of the catharsis that might result. Instead, “50/50’’ is consistently, uproariously funny, written with humanity and insight and directed with just the right tone every time. Comedy writer Will Reiser crafted the script based on his own cancer diagnosis when he was in his early 20s. His words are filled with dark humor and

a wry recognition of the gravity of this situation, but also with real tenderness. His characters are so well-drawn that even when you see obvious developments looming on the horizon, they still feel fresh and offer some moments of surprise. And director Jonathan Levine (in a vast improvement over his last film, the self-conscious “The Wackness’’) pulls us into this intimate world through an abiding naturalism. Levine has accomplished a tricky bit of juggling here: He’s made a film about cancer that’s effortlessly affecting. It helps a great deal that he has Joseph Gordon-Levitt, an actor of great range and subtlety, in the starring role. His character, Adam, a reporter at Seattle’s public radio station, receives the diagnosis after having a doctor examine him for chronic back

pain. Everyone around him reacts differently to the news, and not necessarily well. Adam goes through all the requisite stages of denial, frustration, fear and eventually acceptance, but he does so with such believable imperfection, he never feels like a saint or a martyr. He’s not always gracious in the face of adversity; he can be a little surly and smug and emotionally closed-off. He doesn’t even return phone calls from his understandably concerned mother (Anjelica Huston). But Adam has a great balance in his lifelong best friend and co-worker, the garrulous and lovably crass Kyle (Seth Rogen), the kind of garrulous and lovably crass role Rogen has built a career upon. Again, though, here’s an example of how “50/50’’ sneaks up on you: You think you know this guy, and then he shows a kindness and generosity you’d never expect. And it gives Rogen, who’s also a producer on the film, a

rare opportunity to show some dramatic ability. Sure, he uses his buddy’s illness to line up sympathy sex for both of them but, you know, he means well. Similarly, Anna Kendrick may seem familiar to you as Adam’s inexperienced, young therapist, Katherine; it seems like the kind of eager-beaver, overachiever role Kendrick has played before in films like “Up in the Air’’ and “Rocket Science.’’ But there’s a softness we’ve not seen from her before, a femininity that’s appealing. Adam is only her third patient, and within her bungling and stiff gestures of sympathy lies not just a strong desire to help, but also to be perceived as helpful. Their exchanges increase in intensity and provide the film’s biggest source of emotion. Bryce Dallas Howard, meanwhile, says all the right things but doesn’t really mean them as Adam’s girlfriend. She insists she’ll stick by him no matter what, but it’s clear from the

start that she’s really trying to convince herself she’s capable of such loyalty. Howard is in a tough position here playing a woman of questionable decency, but Reiser’s script is decent enough to make her feel like a real human being, even as she flinches and flees from the horrors of chemotherapy. Just when “50/50’’ threatens to become too unbearably sad, though, a character will say or do just the right thing to break the tension. It doesn’t let up necessarily, but it does provide a balance. And it concludes in the most delicate way, with a moment that’s a lovely mix of romanticism and restraint. Perfect endings are hard to come by: “50/50’’ has one, and it wraps up one of the year’s best films. “50/50,’’ a Summit Entertainment release, is rated R for language throughout, sexual content and some drug use. Running time: 100 minutes. Four stars out of four.

Mary’s Deli By Dusten Rader Entertainment Editor

After 32 years of serving delicious pizza Mary’s Deli of Dunkirk has become a tradition that locals recognize as a consistently great place to eat. The family oriented business treats their employees and customers alike as if they were part of the Russo family. Mary’s Deli originally started out in 1913 as a small corner store that carried fresh fruits and vegetables and other grocery style items. It was started by the current owner Kevin Russo’s grandparents who were Italian immigrants. They named it after Russo’s mother Mary who will be 90 years old in 2012. The shop was in business until 1979 when it became a pizzeria. Mary owned and operated it for many years until Kevin took over when she retired. “Talk about oldschool, this is about as oldschool as you can get,” said Russo. “We’ve been a part of this neighborhood forever. Our logo is that we’re a Dunkirk and Fredonia tradition. That is what we do. This is all that I know. I grew up in this business. Now my kids are growing up in this business and in a couple years we’re coming up on our 100th anniversary.” Russo enjoys owning a pizza shop that is a family business. He is especially proud being able to survive in this day in age where corporations are putting mom and pop shops out of business. “It’s something that I know my family is very proud of,” said Russo. “It’s a tough business that a lot of people don’t last very long in. But, I consider myself a dinosaur in this business because you just don’t see what we offer around very often anymore.” The level of tradition at Mary’s

also translates into the service. Managers Penney Stern and Rick Sikes have been employees for more than 20 years. Along with Russo, they spend many hours in the shop and they get to know each and every one of their customers. Mary’s Deli may be a Dunkirk and Fredonia tradition but it isn’t only locally known. People come from all over the country to have a slice. During the holiday season people who are coming home to visit make Mary’s one of their first stops.

“That makes us feel really good,” said Russo. “We’re proud of what we do and we like to make the customers happy. To see them come back and tell us all these nice things makes us feel good to know that we are doing something right.” Pizza is the most well known thing on the menu at Mary’s Deli. And, what makes it so good is that it is made from a family recipe. The sauce and dough are homemade. Plus, the pizza is made from the same high quality ingredients they have been using since day one.

When customers put a hot slice of pizza in their mouth they can taste the difference. “There are no shortcuts in food,” said Russo. “If you use the best ingredients people know the difference and they appreciate it.” Russo believes consistency is an important factor in keeping customers happy. So, he has been using the same ingredients for 32 years. He doesn’t change products to save money by trying to find the cheapest deals. He buys what

he knows is good and sticks with it. It worked, last year Mary’s Deli was voted by local papers as the Best Pizza and Best Wings in town. “If you change your ingredients you change your profile and taste,” said Russo. “We don’t skimp on quality here and we like to be consistent in everything that we do.” The menu at Mary’s includes a wide variety of pizzeria and deli style choices that can be enjoyed for both lunch and dinner. For a pizzeria run out of a small shop the menu is quite large and intense. The pizza can be ordered by the slice, as a 14 or 16 inch pie or a 18 by 26 inch sheet. Russo describes the pizza as being a thicker Sicilian style with a sweeter sauce. There is also a thin crust offered as well. “My family is from Sicily and we use that style of cooking,” said Russo. The wings are also a local favorite. They are fried fresh and can be ordered with a number of homemade sauces including hot, medium, mild, BBQ, honey mustard, garlic butter and sweet chili. These finger licking good sauces will impress any wing lover. All the submarine sandwiches Continued on page 7

continued from page 6 are served on Italian white bread with or without sesame seeds and wheat bread is also an option. The bread is baked by Petrillos of Buffalo. As far a subs go, the Italian Stallion is the most popular and is a signature sandwich. This massive footlong is made with more meat than most can handle. It includes ham, salami, cappicola and pepperoni then it is topped with lettuce, tomato and mayo, plus hot or mild peppers that are made in house. “It is a distinguished submarine sandwich,” said Russo. There are also homemade calzones, soft tacos, fajitas, quesadillas and a number of specialty pasta dishes on Nona’s Macaroni menu. Examples off that menu include spaghetti and meatballs, rigatoni with sausage and mozzarella, stuffed shells and eggplant or chicken Parmesan with spaghetti. All these dishes include the delicious homemade sauce, freshly grated Romano and toasted garlic bread. There are also five cheese stuffed hot peppers from the company in Buffalo that makes the Italian sausage for Mary’s called Rosina’s. There are also desserts including cheesecakes, brownies cookies and during the summer time Luigi’s Italian Ice is a big seller. Specials are a great way to enjoy Mary’s food and also save a buck. During lunch customers can enjoy two slices and a soda for $4.75. There are also specials on pizza and

wings including a 14 inch and a dozen wings, a 16 inch with 24 wings and a sheet pizza with 50 wings. Customers can opt to exchange the wings for chicken tenders as well. In addition to offering delivery Mary’s Deli can also cater parties. Order one of the pizza and wing specials, a three or six foot sub or a party platter that includes assorted meats, cheeses, olives pickles and condiments. Mary’s is also involved in the community by providing food for fundraisers and special events. They participate in school events at JCC, SUNY Fredonia and at local businesses like Cliffstar, Carriage House, Purina and NRG. “We’re very fortunate in the work we do,” said Russo. “And, we’re very thankful to the community for supporting us for close to 100 years.” Mary’s Deli is a neighborhood pizzeria where locals can feed their whole family for a reasonable price. It’s a place where the pizza is good, it’s hot, the ingredients are all homemade and the service knows everyone by name. Stop in for an unforgettable pizzeria dining experience that guests aren’t likely to soon forget. The original Mary’s Deli is located at 525 Main Street in Dunkirk and is open from 11 a.m. to midnight Monday through Sunday. For more information or to place an order call 716-366-1445.

The Southern Tier Brewing Company is back for the fourth annual fundraiser for St. Susan’s Center. The festivities start on Sunday, October 2 and run from 12 to 4 p.m. The celebration will include an afternoon of $3 beers, $3 brats and live music. Every penny raised during the event will directly benefit the St. Susan Center. St. Susan Center is a soup kitchen in Jamestown that in 2010 served 85,000 meals to the economically challenged. And, according to the St. Susan Center website it is more than a place for the economically disadvantaged. The Center also serves as a safe haven for the physically, mentally and emotionally challenged individuals in the community who feel isolated. “The St. Susan Center is a great organization,” said Nathan Arnone of the Southern Tier Brewing Company. “Every year people depend on the center for meals for their families as well as for individuals. 85,000 meals is a lot of meals served for a year. If you break it down that’s 232 meals a day.” The event will occur rain or shine at Southern Tier Brewing Company on 2072 Stoneman Circle in Lakewood. There will be a large circus tent from Jamestown Awning Company under which the music will take place. The live music is presented by Trinity

visit

Guitars and includes Grandpa Snazzy featuring Susan Waite and Old Dawg Blue Grass. The Bratwursts are provided by Farm Fresh Foods. The event has become so popular that each year the number of bratwursts has increased by about 50 percent. According to Arnone, this year they are going to cook around 700 bratwursts. “We’ve sold out every year,”

said Arnone. “But, we won’t run out of beer.” With every penny going to benefit the St. Susan Center there is no good reason not to stop by and support the event. Tie in live music, good food and an endless supply of beer, the event will be one to remember. For more information visit www.southerntierbrewing. com/ and stsusancenter.org.

Vinewood Acres Sugar Shack By Dusten Rader Entertainment Editor

There is a place in Chautauqua County where nature’s bountiful harvest gives way to sweet creations called Vinewood Acres. Guests can visit for a tour, enjoy a walk along a scenic nature trail, pick some grapes to take home or stop by the Sugar Shack gift shop for delightful tastings. The experience is great for families, couples and anyone else interested in finding themselves absorbed by the beauty of farm life along Lake Erie. Vinewood Acres is owned and operated by Gail Black. She has owned the property for 43 years. When she first purchased it there were a lot of issues that needed to be resolved. But, for her it was a labor of love and today she believes it is a wonderful place to live. The majority of the fruit bearing plants on the land have been grown by her over the years. The grapes were planted in 1960 and she purchased the property in 1969. One of the integral parts of the experience at the Sugar Shack is tasting the delicious syrups, butters and jellies that Black has made from the fruit she has grown on her farm and harvested from the wild. There are more than 27 varieties of syrup to try. Each one has been handcrafted with care. They can be a great topping for a number of dishes including pancakes, waffles, french toast, ice cream, cheesecake, hot cereal or yogurt. They can also be stirred into a cup of hot tea, club soda or seltzer to sweeten and add flavor. They are great as glazes for meats and can be used to make vinaigrette and salad dressings. Plus, they can be used as a base for BBQ sauce and can even be used to cook with. The fun starts when Black invites her guests into the Sugar Shack where they are presented with a spoon, some vanilla ice cream and are offered each every one of her syrups to taste. The most obvious one to try first would be the Concord that is made from the grapes that grow at her vineyard. There are also blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, cherries, apples, pears and more. There are even some classics and rarities including, pump-

kins, rhubarb, mint, currants, gooseberries, elderberries and quinces. Black also has maple producing trees that she uses to make maple syrup, candy and other products. After the tastings guests begin a tour of the vineyard and the surrounding area by Bruce Bradford. The tour starts with a walk by the grape vines, the garden and by the pond. The pond is 15 feet deep, has a fountain and fish living in it. “One year I stocked the pond with

twenty rainbow trout that cost me $20 a piece,” said Black. “I had the best time standing out on the dock feeding them. They would jump out and I’d show it to tourists. But, one day I came out and atop one of the tall trees sat an Eagle. He ate every last trout out of the pond. All I had left was a pile of bones. So, now it’s stocked with bass and blue gills.” Some other things guests see along the way are quince trees, elderberries, pear trees, German plum trees, a wine sap

apple tree, pumpkins and the maple syrup tubing system. Then they are taken right out to the edge of the cliffs of Lake Erie. From the cliffs shale rock and clear water are visible below. There is a hammock hanging near the edge that Black and Bradford use to enjoy the view and the beautiful sunsets on the lake. In addition to the tour being scenic Continued on page 11

it is also informative. Guests learn about harvesting, the local vegetation, how maple syrup is produced, the lake and much more. There are also informational videos to watch on grape harvesting and one by New York state Maple Producers detailing the process of making syrup. Plus, there is a Purple Martin house provided by Jack Gulvin that Black uses to do tours with

children starting in August. “It’s very important to educate young people about our environment, what happens to it and the threats to it,” said Black. There is even a nature trail for guests to enjoy. Along the trail there are many wild flowers, trees and this is where Black harvests some of the wild fruit. There are Sugar Maple trees, Oak, Timber Cherry, American Beech Nut and Ash. The trees create a canopy that allows just enough light through for berries and flowers to thrive below. There are June Berries, blackberries, raspberries, the rare fruit called Paw Paw. There are all sorts of wild flowers like Canada Lilies, several varieties of Trillium including reds and purples, Jack and the Pulpits, Jewel Weed, Meadow Rue, Virginia Watercrest, wild leeks and perfoliates like Bellwort. When guests have had enough of exploring for the day they can stop back in the gift shop to purchase a souvenir to help to remember the experience. There is a wide variety of locally created items in addition to the bottles of syrups and butters made by Black. The shop carries Amish baskets and doorbells, decorative birds, Black’s handmade potholders, gift bags and wreathes, hand towels, doilies, pancake mix made from New York state grains, muffin mixes, paintings and postcards

visit

by local artists, wine decorations, hand painted glassware, grape shaped bottles imported from Italy filled with Black’s syrup, hand painted stools, cutting boards hand made from Chautauqua County hard woods, ornaments and English Bone China. Black also prepares gift baskets and boxes. “When people come here they want to see something that is local and handmade,” said Black. “Many of the items I carry in the shop are by locals who are contributing to tourism in Chautauqua County in a big way.” People have come from all over the world to experience Vinewood Acres and the Sugar Shack. So, every year Black hangs up two maps, one of the world and one of the United States. She puts a sticker on the maps to record all the places that people have come from to visit. And, they also sign the guest book to commemorate the visit. Black is currently working on a book that details the trials and tribulations of being one of the first female vineyard owners in the area. It will focus on how the grapes were bought, learning to make maple syrup, the growth of the business and about the land. It will also also touch on her life before she purchased Vinewood Acres as She was a mink farmer for many years. She hopes to have the book published before the

end of next year. “It’s been tough because I stepped into a man’s world,” said Black. “But, when I’m out there picking grapes in Chautauqua County on Lake Erie there is no better feeling than that.” Vinewood Acres and the Sugar Shack are open all year round Thursday through Monday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. They are located at 7904 Route 5 in Westfield.

Inﬁnity Visual and Performing Arts Brings Acclaimed Guitarist to Jamestown Contributed Article Inﬁnity Performing Arts

A man who’s been called one of the most unique and humorous performers in the contemporary acoustic scene will be coming to Jamestown the first week of October. Infinity Visual and Performing Arts has scheduled several workshops and performances with musician Richard Gilewitz from Tampa, Fla. Not only will Gilewitz be in town to entertain children and adults, but he’ll also provide several workshops for local musicians on Wednesday, October 5 through Friday, October 7. Gilewtiz regularly fascinates his audiences with finger-style gymnastics while spinning yarns too unbelievable not to be true. His rousing performances are filled with amazing chops, humor, and a history of the acoustic guitar from blues to folk, traditional to classical and somewhere in between. His use of banjo style picking patterns, classical arpeggios, tapping and harmonics, as well as a rhythmic and percussive approach, bring a fresh impression to the listener. Richard is respected worldwide for his command of the 6 and 12-string guitar. Whether playing solo, conducting guitar seminars and school programs, or sharing the stage with fellow performers, Richard Gilewitz always creates a sparkle of mood mastery and wonderment. Gilewitz will perform for students at the C.C. Ring Elementary School on Wednesday afternoon and student at S.G. Love Elementary School on Thursday afternoon. He’ll also perform a concert/seminar

Movie Review: Contagion Star Rating: Contributed Article Amber Rinehart

“The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” These timeless words were spoken during President Franklin D Roosevelt’s Inaugural address in 1932. Over the years they have been quoted and re-quoted to inspire courage, honor and hope. During our modern times as we face overseas wars, economic hardships and a seemingly neverending fight with disease this idea of only fearing fear is still very relevant. The film Contagion, directed by Steven Soderbergh and starring an all A-list cast including Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow, Laurence Fishburne, Jude Law and Kate Winslet examines our culture of fear through the scope of disease. With the tag-line “nothing spreads like fear” Contagion approaches the idea of a pandemic from a very realistic and terrifying angle. With mixed reviews from critics across the country, it is important to note that Contagion is not an action movie. I continually hear comparisons to the to the 1995 action film Outbreak, starring Dustin Hoffman. Although both films feature an outbreak of a new and deadly disease, they approach the subject matter in very different ways. Contagion features a scenario and human reactions that could really happen in our modern world. With the sudden development of a new and deadly disease, we see exactly how, in a very realistic way, a disease would spread in our modern, fast-paced world. As they disease spreads, fear and paranoia spread with it. As panic and distrust for the government begin to set in, the film illustrates exactly how people be-

gin to lose their sense of compassion and humanity. Looting and rioting begin and are reminiscent of the real looting that occurred in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina and Vancouver after the most recent Stanley Cup. Simply put, Contagion is a brilliant film that shows a reality that could very easily happen tomorrow and a public reaction

that although sad and disheartening, is very believable. Although the film is somewhat slow, it features amazing performances by Hollywood’s top actors and is photographed in a dark and gritty, but oddly beautiful way. If you can a handle a terrifying look into fear and human nature, I highly recommend checking out Contagion.
