Safety Gets Hot

Local Fire Departments Participate in National Fire Prevention Week, Oct. 9-15 Contributed Article The Jamestown Fire Department

What’s the best way to protect your family from fire? Be ahead of the game, of course. With more than 360,000 home fires reported in the United States in 2009, according to the nonprofit National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), your best defense is a good offense. That’s why Jamestown’s Fire Department is teaming up with NFPA during the October 9-15, 2011, to let our community know: “It’s Fire Prevention Week. Protect your Family from Fire!” This year’s campaign focuses on preventing the leading causes of home fires -- cooking, heating and electrical equipment, as well as candles and smoking materials. Additionally, it urges people to protect their homes and families with lifesaving technology and planning.

“In 2009, 2,565 people died in home fires. Nearly all of these deaths could have been prevented by taking a few simple precautions like having working smoke alarms and a home fire escape plan, keeping things that can burn away from the stove and always turning off space heaters before going to bed,” says Shawn Tibbitts of the Jamestown Fire Department.

“Fire is a dangerous opponent, but by anticipating the hazards, you are much less likely to be one of the nearly 13,000 people injured in home fires each year.”

The Jamestown Fire Department offers the following tips for protecting your home and family from fire:

The Fredonia Fire Department is just one of Chautauqua County’s many fire departments participating in National Fire Prevention Week. For more information, see page 8. Photo by Scott Wise.

Stay in the kitchen while you are frying, grilling, or broiling food. If you leave the kitchen for even a short period of time, turn off the stove.

Keep anything that can burn at least three feet away from heating equipment, like the furnace, fireplace, wood stove, or portable space heater.

Have a three-foot “kid-free zone” around open fires and space heaters.

Tis the Season

‘Village Haunts Tours’ gears up for Dunkirk Lighthouse Event

By Mallory Diefenbach Star News Writer

In the Dunkirk Lighthouse a story of a man named Charlie circulates. As the story goes, Charlie was the friend of a lighthouse keeper, and was at the lighthouse all the time helping out.

One day, a few children got caught in the surf by the lighthouse. Charlie and the lighthouse keeper rushed to save the children. Unfortunately, Charlie and two of the children drowned, while the lighthouse keeper and the rest of the children were able to make it to land safety.

Despite this, Charlie still roams the Dunkirk Lighthouse. He is one of the ghosts paranormal investigators try to come into contact with during paranormal investigations of the lighthouse, such as the upcoming sold-out event “A Haunting on Point Gratiot,” a fundraising ghost hunt co-hosted by the Dunkirk Lighthouse and Village Haunts Tours.

The Village Haunts Tours is an organization which exists not only to entertain those who wish to investigate into the paranormal, but it seeks to support local historical societies such as the Dunkirk Lighthouse.

“We’re using it as a catalyst to do fundraising for local organizations, usually historical societies, historic preservation groups, [and] some civic organizations,” said Don Traynor, the founder of Village Haunts Tours.

The Dunkirk Lighthouse will remain open for the season until Oct. 23 for tours. This year, they teamed up with The Village Haunts Tours to end the season with a bang. Contributed Photo.

The paranormal, while it does incorporate a sense of an unsolved mystery or local folklore, typically stems from a historical truth. While some facts may have been altered or added, it is always interesting to find out the real story behind the legend. Ghost tours allow people to learn about the lesser known history of their town.

“We’re about history in our own backyard,” said Traynor. “…And to encourage people, everybody really, to join their local historical societies and preservation groups that are

trying to do good things for service organizations such as the Dunkirk Lighthouse or any location that they might be involved with.”

With the quickly garnering interest of the paranormal thanks to television series’ such as Ghost Hunters, events circling around the paranormal have gained quick popularity. Dave Briska, the Events Coordinator at the Dunkirk Lighthouse was shocked at the speed of which “A Haunting on Point Gratiot” sold out at.

“We were shocked,” said Briska. “We thought we would get a decent response for just one night, but it sold out in about an hour and a half…

In an hour and a half I had enough names to fill out the first night, and then I took a list of names that I had called back for the second night because we didn’t have the second night set up…”

For those who are interested in participating in regular lighthouse tours, the Dunkirk Lighthouse is open Thursday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at $7 a person. The Dunkirk Lighthouse is open on Monday and Tuesdays for those who wish to walk around on the grounds, and if an extra person is available tours will be given. The Dunkirk Lighthouse is closing for the season on Oct. 23 and won’t be opening again until May 1.

To those who have unexplainable activity at their establishment and want to hold their own public ghost tour, you can contact Village Haunts Tours on their website at http://villagehaunts.com/home. They will be able to talk about the process they use and how to have a successful event.

For those who believe their home is haunted and wish to have a private investigation, they can get into contact with local paranormal investigation groups such as the Fredonia Ghost Hunters, the group who will be participating in the Dunkirk Lighthouse ghost tour.

The City in the Distance climb more enjoyable.

This welcome discovery came to me on a recent trip to New York City. There, I rekindled past friendships that I was sad about having distance between. And, I also came to see that the bonds we allow ourselves to form can stretch any distance near or far.

My adventure started before the sun rose early on a Wednesday morning. I woke excited and full of wonder for the experiences that lie ahead. I stopped for a quick breakfast and coffee then hit the road. I was a little tired because the night before trips I always have difficulty sleeping. The coffee helped perk me up a little as I drove down dark roads that I had never seen so early in the morning.

They seemed unfamiliar, yet welcoming.

I knew not what the path

I would remember fondly for the rest of my life.

Throughout the evening more of my friends began to appear.

We ended up at a nearby bar where the sound of glasses clinking accompanied laughs, cheers and great conversation. I managed to find my head on a pillow that night and strangely felt at home in a place I barely knew.

repair shop opened and had them give it a look while they replaced the tire. The tire was not an issue but they told me that the exhaust pipe would need to be replaced as it had rusted out. That would delay my trip at least until the next afternoon. I was unhappy with their solution so I began to think about what shop had originally installed the pipe.

It is a good thing I keep the receipts of the work I’ve had done on my vehicle because it turned out that they had the proper equipment to do the repair. So, by noon I was back on the road.

The rest of the trip was a relaxing drive through New York’s countryside. There was a little rain along the way but for the most part it was beautiful. I managed to arrive in the city without any more problems and even made it on time for the plans I had made for the evening. My host was a wonderful friend whom I was incredibly happy to see. She helped me settle in and feel welcome in an unfamiliar city.

I started the evening out enjoying a cup of joe and listening to another friend play the piano and sing. The sound of the music, the caffeine and nicotine all lent to a great introduction to what was sure to be a cathartic experience that

the reds, oranges, yellows and greens of Autumn leaves.

The road and I share a bond, one that stems from a deep place beyond my understanding. Like a gypsy I felt the tug of life pulling me towards distant lands. But, my trip was not meant to be one without peril. However, as luck had it, the first problem arose not far from where my grandmother calls home. The roads were treacherous, bumpy and unfavorable. Unfortunately, I did not hear the faint pop of my tire over the sound of J.R.R Tolkein’s Lord of the Rings on audio book. I did however, smell the overpowering stench of burning rubber as the engine worked harder to maintain the speed of cruise control. I pulled to the side of the road, stepped out and quickly became aware of my less than favorable situation.

My rear tire had blown out.

This would definitely set my journey back. To my surprise a Sheriff just so happened to be driving by and offered a hand in putting on the spare.

He sped up the process and even followed me to my grandmother’s house to make sure nothing else went wrong.

While replacing the air in my spare I noticed a strange sound coming from under the vehicle. Something else had gone wrong as well. It appeared as if either the muffler or exhaust had suffered some damage. I waited until the first

ahead would reveal. But, I was unafraid. I rolled down the windows to let in the cool morning breeze and drove east towards the rising sun.

Streaks of light peaked over low hanging clouds giving way to foggy roads lined with

The next few days my feet became weapons of transportation. I felt as tall as the skyscrapers around me while I walked proudly throughout the city. Each new street sign hiding magnificence to discover. And, discover I did. My friends who had been living in the city for some time now all had places and things to show me. By the end, they had guided me in more ways than merely navigational. Their friendship made the most lasting impact. Even more so than the great food, sights and adventures. And, because of them, the city felt like one of the few places I could call home. I will be back. Because, a part of me is still there; walking among the crowds, stopping to appreciate something fantastic and pushing to the point of exhaustion before giving in to slumber.

On Saturday, Oct. 15, SUNY Fredonia will host the eighth annual “Out of the Darkness” walk to benefit the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP). It will begin at 1 p.m. at the campus clock tower at the corner of University Parkway and Symphony Circle.

The three-mile walk is open to the campus and community, and those interested can pre-register and/or donate at www.outofthedarkness. org. Registration is free and available online until Oct. 14.

In-person registration is also available at noon the day of the walk. Donations will be accepted online until Dec. 31.

Last year, over 400 students, faculty and community members participated in the annual walk which rose over $5,000.

This year’s goal has been set at $6,000.

“Given the recent Rodemeyer tragedy in Amherst which has resulted in national headlines, it’s more important than ever that our campus continues to do our part in this important area,” said Dr. Dani McKinney, a SUNY Fredonia psychology professor and advisor to the Psychology Club.

Students at last year’s Out of the Darkness Walk generated over $5,000 in donations for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. This year, the goal has been raised to $6,000.

“Educating people to recognize signs of depression, and making sure people dealing with depression know of the many forms of help that are within reach, can often be the difference literally between life and death.”

The annual walk is sponsored by the Psychology Club, the Pride Alliance, the Volunteer and Community Services Office, other various student groups, and members of the faculty, staff and local community.

AFSP is the leading non-profit organization exclusively dedicated to understanding and preventing suicide through funding research, developing prevention initiatives and offering educational programs for survivors of suicide

victims, professionals and the public.

Suicide is the third-leading cause of death among 15 to 24 year-olds, and the second major cause of death among college students. Since 2000, the AFSP has invested over $10 million in new studies, including research into treatments for people who are depressed and suicidal. The AFSP Foundation also offers survivor initiatives that include International Survivors of Suicide Day. More than 200 “Out of the Darkness” walls will take place across the country this fall. Since 2004, the year these walks began, participants and sponsors across the U.S. have raised $12 million for the cause.

Dr. Scott Webb of Webb Ministries and Word of Life Christian Center in Birmingham, Al., will be visiting Chautauqua County.

Beginning Oct. 9, he will speak for four services at Family Church in Fredonia, before heading to Family Church of the Southern Tier in Jamestown on Wednesday.

“We’re very excited to have a speaker of this caliber in our churches,” said Senior Pastor Michael Lokietek.

“Some people travel all over the nation, pay hundreds of dollars for airfare and hotels to be in meetings like these.”

Dr. Webb began a pastorate at Word of Life Christian Center in Birmingham in 1982. He studied at RHEMA Bible Training Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma and furthered his credentials by mentoring under internationally known

minister Dr. Kenneth E. Hagin until Hagin’s death in 2003.

Dr. Webb speaks annually at RHEMA Bible Church’s ‘Campmeeting,’ where hundreds of ministers from around the world come out to hear him and other renowned preachers. Many recognize him as a powerful preacher with a reputation for a deep understanding of the Bible and it’s applicability to mod-

ern life.

Additionally, Dr. Webb is known for a gift to help the Body of Christ in the financial arena. He has brought much revelation to what the Bible has to say regarding finances for Christians, and his teachings have helped thousands of families thrive financially. He has also written books on the topics of faith and Biblical principles.

Dr. Webb will be speaking at Family Church North, 45 Lakeview Ave., Fredonia, on Sunday, Oct. 9 at 10 a.m. and 7 p.m., and continuing Oct. 10 and 11 at 7 p.m. each night. On Wed., Oct. 12, Dr. Webb will preach at Family Church of the Southern Tier, 3130 Garfield Rd., in Jamestown at 6 p.m.

“The Nature of Light and Color” will be the topic for the Jamestown Audubon Photography Club’s meeting on Thursday, Oct. 13.

Local travel-oriented photographer Dan Swackhammer will focus his presentation on giving both beginning and experienced photographers a better understanding of the differences between various light sources and the impact they will have on a photo.

According to Swackhammer, “Lighting is something you cannot always control, but by realizing the source, quality and nature of the light you have available, you can make a better photograph.”

Swackhammer’s photos include images from Europe, Mexico and all corners of the United States. They have been featured on several travel websites and presented in a oneperson show at Jamestown’s Prendergast Library. Swackhammer has representation in local galleries, and his prints hang in homes and offices in Pittsburgh and Cleveland, among other places.

The program will be 7-9 p.m. at the Audubon Center and Sanctuary at 1600 Riverside Road, off Route 62 between Jamestown and Warren. Members will be showing images around the theme of “Railroad” for peer review at the 6:30 project time.

The short technical talk to open the program this month is about legal issues relating to photographer’s rights to take photographs. The differences between public and private property, shooting private property from public loca-

sibility. No entrance fee is required, and all maintenance is included in the monthly rent. The first of the three homes expected to be ready by the end of the year is already reserved. The other two will follow along with anticipated completion in February 2012.

Heads for the Chautauqua County Equestrian Trail Plan being undertaken under the direction of Mark Geise, Deputy Director of Planning & Economic Development for Chautauqua County. The plan will encompass trails from Boutwell Hill to Cherry Creek and Cockaigne Ski Area. Alta Planning & Design, a New York State firm that specializes in trail planning is helping organize the project.

As soon as the Boutwell Hill Trail is marked the Cockaigne map will be changed to direct riders from the Cockaigne trails to the Boutwell Hill Trail. The Cockaigne trail is in place and will only need to be marked when the Boutwell Hill Trail is marked.. The combined trail will offer 30 to 40 miles of trails. Riders on the Fall Color Ride will be introduced to the connecting location for future rides.

Contributed Article Office of Congressman Brian Higgins

Congressman Brian Higgins (NY-27) announced that Chautauqua Opportunities, Inc. (COI) has been awarded a total of $954,759 in three grants through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

“Whether its education, housing or family matters, again and again Chautauqua Opportunities has demonstrated outstanding leadership providing the critical support that makes our youth, families, neighborhoods and community stronger,” said Congressman Higgins.

The largest award, totaling $618,031 will go to COI for the Chautauqua Pathways to Responsible Fatherhood Program. The project will target low-income fathers and expectant fathers ages 16-45 and their families. Activities include education in: parenting, financial literacy, relationship building and emotional regu-

lation. In addition, a partnership with the Salvation Army will address domestic violence, child abuse prevention. Working with the Chautauqua Alcoholism & Substance Abuse Council the program participants will receive substance abuse prevention outreach. A job coach will also be provided and additional employability support will be made possible through collaboration with the Chautauqua Works Workforce Investment Board.

Chautauqua Opportunities Executive Director Roberta Keller said, “Chautauqua Opportunities is excited to have received the “Pathways to Responsible Fatherhood” grant.

We, along with a number of community partners (WIB, The Salvation Army, CASAC) will be using this grant to encourage and support increased male involvement in the lives of their children and improved overall family engagement and functioning. We will be bringing an array of services and supports to families which will result in fewer interven-

tions and greater success for otherwise at risk children.”

COI will also receive $185,000 in federal funding for the Safe House of Chautauqua County Program and $151,728 for the Chautauqua-Cattaraugus Street Outreach Program.

Opened in Jamestown in 1993, the Safe House serves as a temporary shelter for runaway and homeless youth serving more than 120 young people annually. Services provided at the Safe House include: life skills training, health and mental health services, academic assistance, employment training, entrepreneurial and community service opportunities.

The Street Outreach program works as a component of Safe House. The grant will allow expansion of the program to facilitate coordination with Cattaraugus County and the Seneca Nation. COI will use street-based outreach, school presentations and drop-in centers in both counties to provide outreach to homeless and at-risk youth.

DJDC Announces Parade Theme Contributed Article DJDC

As the summer comes to a close, the Downtown Jamestown Development Corporation is proud to announce the 2011 Christmas Parade and Holiday Celebration theme –“Jamestown’s I’ll Be Home for Christmas, Parade of the Wooden Soldiers and Holiday Celebration”.

“We would like to honor those who have fought for this country past and present. With 2011 being the 10 year anniversary for 9/11 what better time than now,” said Ashley Anderson, DJDC Special Events Coordinator.

The 2011 parade will be held on Friday, Dec. 2, 2011 in downtown Jamestown. Line-up will begin promptly at 5:00pm and the parade will step-off at 6:30pm traveling East on Third Street to Tracy Plaza.

All businesses, organizations, groups, families, churches and individuals are asked to register with DJDC to participate in the parade. Participation is free of charge. Registration forms will be available online at www. discoverjamestown.com on October 12, 2011. Businesses, organizations, and participants may also sponsor a trophy by

donating $20 to DJDC for 13 different categories that will be judged.

“We encourage all participants to take advantage and really show your appreciation for all the men and women serving in the armed forces,” added Anderson. “It is always exciting to see everyone’s interpretations of the theme selected each year.

We anticipate another successful parade and holiday celebration this winter.”

For the fifth year in a row the Downtown Jamestown Development Corporation invites all area businesses and organizations to participate in the Jamestown Snowball Drop that will take place in conjunction with the post-parade festivities. In 2010, 1045 white ping-pong balls, donated by the Jamestown Cycle Shop, were distributed to local businesses where they wrote special givea-ways and prizes on them.

Once collected, the simulated snow-balls were dropped from a Jamestown Fire Department ladder truck following the parade. Those who were lucky enough to catch a “snow-ball” redeemed it at the appropriate establishment to receive their prize. Any businesses interested in particpating are asked to contact DJDC. “This has been a very success-

ful addition to the parade event line-up. Thousands of parade goers position themselves under the ladder to collect as many snowballs as possible,” said Anderson. “Business and organization participants have stated that those who collect the snowballs continue to collect their prizes and give-aways throughout the year. We encourage all of our downtown businesses to take ping-pong balls and participate in this free and unique advertise opportunity that is designed to increase foot traffic through their establishments this holiday season.”

Additional holiday activities and events produced by DJDC and other various organizations will be held throughout the season. DJDC is currently producing its annual Holiday Coupon book and Events Calendar. Ads are available for $10, $20, and $30. Any organization hosting a holiday event – open house, party, sale, etc. is asked to contact DJDC to have their event included in this year’s holiday calendar, free of charge.

More information on “Jamestown’s I’ll Be Home for Christmas, Parade of the Wooden Soldiers and Holiday Celebration,” will be released as it becomes available. Contact DJDC at 664-2477 with any questions.

Meagan Allers

“Fredonia for St. Jude” Flourishes Under Student’s Direction

By Patricia Pihl Star Staff Writer

Along with a talent for fund raising, FSUC student Meagan Allers knows a few things about inspiring her fellow students and why people give to causes.

Quoting a motivational speaker Allers says. “People don’t join organizations, they join people.”

Overseeing last year’s Up ‘til Dawn event on campus, Allers and 150 of her fellow students raised $15,000 for St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital.

Two Fredonia film students documenting the event also scored another big win: ten Mac computers for Fredonia State.

The film was part of an on-line video competition among colleges, getting over 800 “Likes” on Face Book and beating out larger schools such as the Univer-

sity of North Carolina at Greensboro, the University of Louisiana at Monroe, Florida Southern and Arizona State.

A dedication ceremony is scheduled for October 22 at Reed Library.

Fredonia’s fund raising efforts also overshadowed larger colleges, according to Allers, and have increased with each year.

She characterizes Fredonia for St. Jude not as an organization, but rather as a “bunch of students from many different backgrounds and other groups coming together for the cause.”

Since she’s has been at Fredonia, that “bunch” of students has grown exponentially.

But the unassuming college junior says it is due to fellow students having “great and creative ideas to encourage peer involvement.”

“Our group puts the fun back in fund raising. Through flash dances, online videos, awareness weeks and benefit

games, we are able to show the campus about our cause- St. Jude- and how they can help and get involved.”

The event, which this year takes place on November 13, is so named, according to Allers, because “children in the hospital going through chemo stay up until dawn.”

Students participating in

“Up ‘til Dawn” are requested to bring in the names and address of friends and family -preferably 35- who will receive a St. Jude appeal letter.

While sealing envelopes, students also enjoy music, food and giveaways.

The Math Education and Leadership Studies major visited St Jude’s Hospital in

Memphis to meet some of its young patients in the summer of 2010. “Seeing the children in the hospital was a big thing.

I love the feeling of being able to make a difference.”

Allers hasn’t stopped at Up ‘til Dawn,’ but has organized activities on and off campus to support the cause close to her heart. Other events to her

credit include “Rock Out For Cancer” at Muldoons in Fredonia, text for a cure, and local soccer and lacrosse benefit games to raise awareness.

Allers is also the President of the Alma Mater Society, and a board member of the faculty student association and the college foundation. She also serves on the volunteer board, which helps spread awareness regarding the many service opportunities on and off campus.

The Western New York native is also the recipient of the Jacquie Walker Scholarship, which is given out by the American Association of University Women. Allers explains “Jacquie Walker is an inspirational woman who has done a lot for community service and has helped out many groups, including AAUW. I am honored to have received this award.”

Boy Scouts Support The Military With Fall Popcorn Sale Contributed Article Allegany Highlands Council

This year, boy-scout customers can again donate popcorn to go to U.S. military personnel around the world. “This is the fifth year for our military program, and it’s really a win-win-win situation. People can purchase popcorn for the men and women serving our country and support local Scouting at the same time.

And they will know they’re benefiting two great institu-

tions in one generous act,” said John Wojciechowicz, Council Executive of the Allegheny Highlands Council. ”In the first four years of the sale, over $26 million dollars worth of popcorn has gone to the military and their families as a result of the Boy Scouts efforts around the country.”

This fall, Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts will introduce a new lineup of Trail’s End popcorn products for their annual fundraiser. Since 1980, Americans have supported Scouting

with their purchases of Trail’s End microwave popcorn and ready to eat popcorn treats.

On sale in October and early November, Scouts have every reason to believe the public will be pleased.

The Trail’s End popcorn sale helps pay for local Scouting programs in communities all across the Twin Tiers and the country, and Scouts enjoy a great return on their sale, with more than 70% of the purchase price going to fund local Scouting.

The new Trail’s End products have better flavor, are better for you and come in all-new packaging. And consumers will, on average, get 20% more product than before.

Unbelievable Butter microwave, Butter Light microwave and ready to eat Cheese Corn are now made with canola oil, with zero grams trans fat and low saturated fat. The microwave products have new “Butter Burst” flavoring with a more robust butter flavor.

Trail’s End Caramel Corn is

made with natural sweeteners, and Trail’s End chocolate products contain no hydrogenated oils. Also, microwave Kettle Corn is making a comeback this fall, by popular demand.

All of the ready to eat products have beautiful new packaging that’s better for the environment because less packaging waste ends up in landfills. Traditional metal canisters have been replaced with bags that are re-closable for freshness, a hit with con-

sumers. All of the Trail’s End packaging now displays photos of Scouts and describes the benefits of Scouting to boys and to their communities.

Trail’s End is sold exclusively

by Boy Scouts across the United States. For more information about scouts selling and where to get the healthiest popcorn in America, and to send popcorn to our troops, please contact the Scout Service Center at 716.665.

1891 Fredonia Opera House

Prendergast Library

The unusual sci-fi character drama, “Another Earth,” is the next featured film in the Cinema Series at the 1891 Fredonia Opera House. It will be screened on Sat., Oct. 8, at 8 p.m. and Tues., Oct. 11, at 7:30 p.m.

In “Another Earth,” Rhoda Williams is a bright young woman accepted into MIT’s astrophysics program who aspires to explore the cosmos.

A brilliant composer, John Burroughs has just reached the pinnacle of his profession and is about to have a second child with his loving wife. On the eve of the discovery of a duplicate earth, tragedy strikes and the lives of these two strangers become irrevocably intertwined.

Estranged from the world and the selves they once knew, the two outsiders begin an unlikely love affair and reawaken to life. But when one is presented with the chance of a lifetime opportunity to travel to the other Earth and embrace an alternative reality, which new life will they choose?

Kerry Lengel, in the Arizona Republican, calls the film “a quietly moving parable of redemption.” Peter Howell, in the Toronto Star, calls it “one of the year’s best indie releases.” Kirk Honeycutt, in the Hollywood Reporter, calls it “a gripping, intimate story to which science fiction adds

Local writer and storyteller Paul Leone will present a program called “The Blizzard of ’85: Tall Tales with a Chautauqua County Flavor” at 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 15, in the Fireplace Room at Prendergast Library.

During the event, he will discuss and quote passages from his recent book, “The Gospel Truth,” which is subtitled “A Late History of the Town of Busti, Chautauqua County, New York.”

The author describes this book as “a satirical mock history” because when five fictional Busti elders collaborate on a town history, their “reminiscences” turn it into a tall tale.

Shortly after arriving in Jamestown in 1985, Leone began compiling a repertoire of folk tales and developed an inter-

a provocative, philosophical context.” Ty Burr, of the Boston Globe, says the film “is being sold as an indie sci-fi drama, but this muted story of atonement, forgiveness, and parallel universes is more of an extended metaphor – a work of earnest poetry rather than science.” Rated PG-13 for disturbing images, some sexuality, nudity and brief drug use, “Another Earth” runs 92 minutes.

Tickets to the Opera House Cinema Series are available

at the door for $7 (adults), $6.50 (seniors & Opera House members) and $5 (students & children) the night of each screening. For more information, call the Opera House Box Office at 716-679-1891.

Chautauqua County’s only year-round performing arts center, the 1891 Fredonia Opera House is a member-supported not-for-profit organization located in Village Hall in downtown Fredonia. For a complete schedule of events, visit www.fredopera.org.

Habitat for Humanity

Owner Ed Pagano of the Sears Hometown Store, 3725 E. Main-Route 20, Fredonia, New York, recently presented the American Red Cross of Southwestern New York with a donation of $486.58. This donation will support local disaster relief operations for the community, helping to ensure that the victims of house fires and other disasters here in Chautauqua County receive the vital food, shelter, clothing, and emotional support services they need. The Southwestern New York Chapter of the American Red Cross is a United Way agency.

It started in June, after the snow was gone and the weather warmed, and today, the house being constructed in Mayville by Habitat for Humanity is more than halfway finished.

Future home owner Michael Webb has been working with the volunteers every Saturday, thereby learning the character of the home literally from the ground up.

Mike Ricketts, Project Coordinator, had this to say about progress at the end of September: “We have been blessed with some truly spectacular weather and a great bunch of volunteers. The fellowship is great, and we have fun. Today (9/24) we finished the end walls and set the posts for the front porch. And we started to place the stingers for the front roof. Fall is upon us and we could use your help to get this house enclosed before winter hits.”

Autumn is the time of year to be thinking about attracting birds to your yard so that you can enjoy them throughout the winter.

On Sunday afternoon, October 16, the Audubon Center and Sanctuary is offering a class on how to attract and feed birds. The class will teach you what birds eat what seeds and how to attract them to your yard.

Participants will also learn how to make Peanut Butter Dough, a recipe made famous by Julie Zickefoose of Birdwatchers Digest. The recipe creates a soft suet that birds love, and it has even had Pileated woodpeckers eating out of people’s hands. Those who take the class can see how it works at Audubon and will get a kit to make a batch of Peanut Butter Dough to try in their own feeders.

the house closed before winter so work can continue inside during those months. “Our goal is to have the house winter ready by mid-November, but we need your help,” Ricketts said.

Volunteers are welcome to join the construction – for an hour or even a day. Work is performed under skilled supervision with a task available for any and all levels of experience, including serving or providing refreshments. Additionally, there are days when work continues on Wednesdays for

those who can offer their time then. You’ll even learn a bit of home construction lingo.

Ricketts urges all to “come on down and spend your Saturday morning with a great bunch of folks. You provide the labor and we provide the coffee and donuts. I guarantee you will leave feeling better than when you arrived.”

Replace or repair damaged or loose electrical cords.

If you smoke, smoke outside.

Use deep, wide ashtrays on a sturdy table.

Blow out all candles when you leave the room or go to bed.

Avoid the use of candles in

the bedroom and other areas where people may fall asleep.

“While preventing home fires in Jamestown is always our number one priority, it is not always possible,” Tibbitts continued. “Jamestown’s residents need to provide the best protection to keep their homes

and families safe in the event of a fire. This can be achieved by developing an escape plan which you practice regularly and equipping homes with life-saving technologies like smoke alarms and home fire sprinklers.” The following tips will help keep your family

safe if there is a fire in your home: Install smoke alarms inside each bedroom, outside each sleeping area, and on every level of the home (including the basement).

Interconnect all smoke alarms in the home so when one sounds, they all sound.

Test smoke alarms at least monthly and replace all smoke alarms when they are 10 years old or sooner if they do not respond when tested.

Make sure everyone in your home knows how to respond if the smoke alarm sounds.

Pull together everyone in your household and make a plan.

Walk through your home and inspect all possible ways out.

Households with children should consider drawing a floor plan of your home, marking two ways out of each

room, including windows and doors.

Everyone Has A Story

Marcus Johnston

By Elizabeth Martin Star News Writer

SUNY Fredonia student and Fredonia resident, Marcus Johnston is a 20-year-old pilot. He was born in Australia but has lived in Fredonia with his family since he was 12.

Since he was young, Johnston has wanted to become a pilot.

With much practice and dedication, he was able to make his dream come true. Not only can Marcus fly a plane alone, but he has become knowledgeable enough over the last couple of years to have the honor of teaching others how to fly.

“I’m a flight instructor at Dunkirk Aviation. Students come to me with little to no flight experience and I turn them into private or professional pilots,” said Johnston.

Having such a big dream at a young age is tough, but Johnston was able to pull through.

He had to take many written and flying tests to get where he is today, and with a few rough patches, he succeeded.

Johnston now has a total of 650 hours of flight time.

“I started flying when I was 14 and earned my private license at 17. At 19, I earned my commercial license and became a certified flight instructor,” said Johnston.

Having to move from Australia to the United States every Marcus prepares for a Winter 2010 flight in the Cessna 172 (Submitted photo) couple of years sounds like a lot for a child, but Johnston operate such a large piece of now, and each trip I became always looked forward to the equipment is not as simple as more and more interested in airplane rides. how planes fly,” said Johnston. it sounds.

“I was six-weeks-old when I “I love that people come to me Like Marcus, other people in made my first 30 hour plane with a goal and that I can be the Chautauqua County area trip from Adelaide, Australia the one person to help them also want to learn how to fly. to Buffalo, N.Y. I’ve made that achieve that goal,” said JohnBut, acquiring the skill to same trip close to ten times

‘The Original Goth’

ston. “The hardest part about being an instructor is being able to balance the safety of the flight while allowing the student more control of the airplane.”

“As a 19-year-old, almost all of my students were older than me. I had to be that much more confident in order to earn their trust and respect,” said Johnston.

Johnston really enjoys his job because it literally can take him anywhere he wants to go.

As people on the ground, we are restricted to only seeing the things around us, but he has the luxury and ability to see everything from a different view.

“As a pilot of a small plane, you can make the spur-of-themoment decision to go anywhere from NYC to Chicago in the morning, and be there

for the entire afternoon,” said Johnston.

Johnston has lived in Fredonia since he was 12, and decided to remain here for his college education at SUNY Fredonia.

“I like that it’s a safe, closeknit community,” said Johnston, “I lived here for all of my teenage years, so I pretty much grew up here and have grown to love the area and all that it has to offer.”

In five years, Johnston sees himself as a successful airline pilot. After earning his degree at Fredonia, Johnston hopes his career won’t take him too far from home.

“Although pilots have to travel quite a bit, I hope to remain in this area for as long as I can,” said Johnston.

Let Them Eat Pie!

Works of Poe Featured in the Fourth Local “Big Read” Patricia Pihl Star Staff Writer

During the last two weeks of October, events for the “Big Read” will take place throughout the county. With date decided, Randy Gadikian, director of the Daniel A. Reed Library at SUNY Fredonia and his staff decided “if it’s in October, then let’s do Poe.” Edgar Allen Poe was one of the choices offered by the National Endowment For The Arts, (NEA) which provided the grant for the “Big Read” to SUNY Fredonia.

Gadikian characterizes Poe as a “widely read American author of great international acclaim.” He says Poe was also the creator of the mystery detective model, and the “original Goth” - he stayed out of the sun, dressed in black and talked about death.”

About 8,000 inserts of The Big Read Reader will be distributed to 17 area schools and 38 libraries in the Chautauqua Cattaraugus Library System. The tabloid contains a variety of the author’s work, which will be used for writing or critique purposes in grades 6-12, and at local libraries for discussion.

“Critics pooh-poohed him because he wrote for the masses—well this is a guy that wanted to put food on the table. On the other hand, he’s not really a stable character.” Gadikian says, like a lot of artists, Poe explored things that others would like to explore- and then wrote about it.

Along with his mass appeal, another reason for choosing Poe, Gadikian explained, is that his work is out of copyright, which meant that the material could be distributed economically, without having to buy books.

Chautauqua County is one of 76 communities nationwide participating in The Big Read. The NEA’s goal, Gadikian says, is “to promote reading in depth for comprehension of complex material.”

“Reading a book, or a piece of poetry is very different than sitting in front of the television or using a video game, it’s a different piece of your mind that’s being occupied.”

Gadikian believes that that beyond reading, the benefits go, into the social realm. To some degree, the Big Read has gotten “people of different ages talking and having a conversation about a piece of literature.”

“Reading a book, or a piece of poetry is very different than sitting in front of the television or using a video game, it’s a different piece of your mind that’s being occupied.” – Randy Gadikian, Director, Daniel A. Reed Library, SUNY Fredonia He says intergenerational interaction is not something that occurs in many other contexts. “Through literature we are promoting a little bit of understanding, particularly if you can get people to talk about how the book relates to something in their life.”

In addition, when people re-read a piece of literature from their youth, they look at it from an entirely different perspective because they have some life experience.

“Throw a couple of young people in that are giving it their first read and all of a sudden you have more experienced people providing that insight into life and there is an exchange.”

The kick off event for the Big Read was a county wide POEtry contest which launched on September 7. Contestants will be invited to read at two Open Mic events at 21 East Bookstore and Café on October 14 and at the Farmers Market on October 15.

Prendergast Library’s Big Read Kick Off Event is Friday October 14. This year’s title is “The Stories and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe. Poe’s works will be on display and refreshments will be served. A colorized version of “Tell Tale Heart”

will be shown at 7:30 p.m.

A film event, “Edgar Allan Poe: A Journey in Verse will be shown on October 20 at 7 p.m. During the month of October, Prendergast will have a display of the many books, audio books and videos based on the author’s works and life.

A book discussion on Mat Johnson’s “Pym” and Edgar Allan Poe’s “the Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket will be held at the Buster Brown Bean Company on October 12 at 6:30 p.m. in Fredonia.

In addition, Clair Walton will appear as Poe to perform a reading and lead a discussion of Poe’s work, life and her work as a Poe impersonator on October 20 at 7 p.m. at 12 East Fourth Street, in Jamestown.

The Tell Tale Heart book discussion will take place October 24 at 6:30 p.m. at the Azira Hall Memorial Library in Brocton.

Keynote speaker Mat Johnson will be presenting “Pym Poe’s Gauntlet” at the 1891 Fredonia Opera House on October 27 at 7:30 p.m.

Oct. 1 at the Fredonia Farmer’s Market held the first annual ‘Pumpkin Pie Bake-off.’

Entries varied from traditional pumpkin pie to pumpkin-crunch-cheesecake and everything in between. The winner of the contest was local entrepreneur David Culver, owner of Buster Brown Bean on Church St. in Fredonia. Second place was awarded to Cheryl Southwort of Dunkirk, and the third place prize went to Pauline Masters of Irving.

Barbara Sam, far left in photo, coordinated the contest.

County Movement on “Don’t Send the Check” Revolt The County Budget Crisis is not something that fell into our lap in the past few months. To the credit of County Executive Edwards, with up front clarity he forewarned county residents of the mounting problems we would face with his budget presentation for the 2011 fiscal year. This past week County Executive Edwards again clearly laid out the reality that faces County Government in 2012.

In 1998, then-County Executive Mark Thomas recognized the growing challenge of managing mandated Medicaid costs and advocated for reform.

In 1998 the yearly Medicaid burden placed on our County was approximately $14 million. This year, total Medicaid payments from Chautauqua County to New York State will exceed $28 million.

Imagine what the County could do with $14 million dollars to help maintain vital services for the

taxpayers of our County.

To get through this current budget year there must be serious cuts in services and immediate and significant changes in Albany.

We all need to come to terms with the fact that this budget crisis and the enormous property tax burden we currently face is not the product of one person, one administration or one political party. We collectively are the problem. ‘We’ includes every taxpayer in Chautauqua County, every business owner and every elected official. We let the situation get out of hand, we have not in any meaningful way, taken on the challenging tasks of changing what we can control, and we have allowed Albany to force mandates upon us.

Instead of consolidating school districts and municipal governments, we get caught up in the possibility that we have something to lose. The re-

ality is that we are losing each day that we continue to pay taxes to so many entities.

We look to our elected officials to lead the charge to compel our local governments and schools to share services and consolidate in order to reduce the multiple taxing layers within the County. We encourage our County leaders to work out new agreements with local municipalities related to sales tax sharing to compensate the County for costs absorbed that were at one time expenses of the municipal governments.

We ask the County Legislature and County Executive to take the necessary actions to withhold payment of the Medicaid check to New York State to send a clear message to Albany that we can no longer put this burden on the back of property tax payers.

Chamber Newsletter Goes On Line Beginning with its October edition, the monthly VOICE newsletter from the Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce newsletter will become an on-line only publication. As the Chamber looks to control costs for its members, the switch to an on line publication represents a substantial cost savings for the organization.

Chamber President/ CEO Todd Tranum said, “We are dedicated to continued communication with our members and to finding ways to connect our members with one another. The on line newsletter is just one way we will reach out to members, while we continue our Chautauqua Business Weekly email bulletins, and delve even further

into social media and other avenues of direct communication.”

Sam Hoyt Will Be Keynote Speaker Due to a scheduling change, Lieutenant Governor Robert Duffy will not deliver the keynote address for the Chamber of Commerce Annual Awards Banquet on Thursday, October 6.

Instead, the speaker will be Sam Hoyt, former Assemblyman and now the Regional President of the Empire State Development Corporation. The topic for the address will remain the same: New York State’s new Regional Economic Development Councils.

Sam Hoyt oversees efforts to recruit new business, as well as support existing business, for the Western region of New York State. Prior to joining Empire State Development, Mr. Hoyt served for almost 20 years as the Assembly representative for the 144th Assembly District

located in Western New York. Mr. Hoyt’s career in public service is marked by a commitment to communitycentric change centering on four guiding goals: making state and local governments more efficient and accountable to taxpayers, revitalizing neighborhoods, increasing economic opportunity and developing waterfront.

During his two decades in the Assembly, he served as Majority Whip and was a member of the Puerto Rican/ Hispanic Task Force. He also was a member of the following committees: Ways and Means; Transportation; Energy; Tourism, Arts and Sports Development; and Cities. Mr. Hoyt has also served as Western New York regional director for U.S. Senator Daniel Patrick Moyni-

han and was marketing and promotions director for Buffalo Bisons Baseball.

He currently serves as vice chair of the Buffalo and Fort Erie Peace Bridge Authority. Mr. Hoyt is a lifelong resident of Western New York and a graduate of the Park School and Buffalo State College.

He lives in Buffalo with his wife of 22 years and their two sons.

The Chamber of Commerce will honor six Community Service Award winners from each of its Community Chambers, in addition to presenting its Economic Development and Person of the Year Awards. The event will be held Thursday, October 6 at Chautauqua Suites Meeting & Expo Center.

You Auto Know

By Richard White Contributing Writer

Richard White, General Manager of Jim White’s Truck and Auto Center, shares his automotive expertise from a lifetime spent in the auto industry. What I know sitting on the opposite side of the desk, you auto know…

Is an auction vehicle a good vehicle? Well that depends.

Is produce you purchase at a grocery store good? That question makes as much sense as the previous. The only way to be sure is to check the fruit. Look it over for the condition or have someone who is knowledgeable in the field check it out.

An auction is a place where buyers and sellers meet. The majority of all used vehicles sold were at some time or another sold at an auction.

It is extremely common for most vehicles to be sold numerous times over the lifespan of that automobile.

There are many types of auctions from factory sales, dealer consignment sales, repossession sales, and insurance auctions. Most manufacturers sell their lease turn-ins to franchise dealers at the end of the lease term. As well, fleet purchasers such as rental agencies and corporate vehicle remarketing companies sell their vehicles at the end of their intended use.

Banks, finance companies, and credit unions sell their repossessed vehicles at auction. Dealers, both franchised and independent, will sell their overstock and aged inventory at auction. And, insurance companies sell their total loss and damaged vehicles at salvage auctions.

Besides auctions, other methods of obtaining vehicles are by private sale or trade-in. If a dealer wants to keep a well- rounded inventory, that dealer cannot depend on these methods.

Purchasing at auction allows a dealer to specifically choose the inventory mix of his preference. He can choose the models, colors, mileage and number of units he prefers. If a dealer depended only on private sale and trade-ins, many dealer lots would not be sufficiently stocked.

As I always recommend, obtain a Carfax vehicle history report on any vehicle you may be interested in purchasing. Utilize your trusted mechanic to verify the mechanical and structural condition of that car or truck. And, the next time someone says I would never buy an auction car, ask them. Do you only buy milk from the cow or do you buy it at the grocery store?

Please direct any questions that you would like addressed in this column to my email (rwhite@jimwhites.com).

Tax Matters Accounting Software

By Kelly Haggmark Contributing Writer

As a small business owner don’t you just hate worrying about the recordkeeping?

Many choose to use accounting software such as QuickBooks, Peachtree, Quicken or Fresh Books and these are great tools you will find very user friendly. They are designed with the business owner in mind.

Once your business is set up, you can maintain your transactions on a regular basis and then generate reports

that can help you see how you are doing. Some even have the ability for you to create reports that sort and view information in different ways specific to your business. That way you can see the numbers throughout the year and make business decisions based on analyzing those numbers.

Another great tool is the budgeting tool. You can set up a budget for the year, usually by month and then look at how your actual numbers compare to the budget. If you are going to really take advantage of the software’s capabilities, it is really important when you are starting out to get things right in the accounting software and then to regularly reconcile the accounts to make sure they are accurately reflecting your transactions.

In setting up the system, make sure you use a chart of accounts that really fits your business and I always recommend developing that chart of accounts rather than

using the predetermined list in the software. You can use the predetermined list for your type of business to help you get started, but if you are more specific to your individual business, you will find analyzing the reports more beneficial.

Next, make sure your beginning balances are accurate.

Accounts such as your business checking, inventory, equipment less depreciation, and owner’s equity are accounts that I often see highly inaccurate when I review a new client’s books.

The other important piece is in continually monitoring the accuracy of the account balances as transactions are recorded. This should be done on a monthly basis rather than after year-end. How do I do this? Well, it’s like reconciling your checkbook, but you do this for as many accounts in your software as you can. For example, your credit card statement should

be reconciled to the balance in the account in your software.

Your checking account statement should be reconciled to the balance in your account in the software and, if you keep a manual checkbook, it should be reconciled to that balance also.

One of the most difficult accounts to understand is the balance in the owner’s equity account. It can be very complex or very simple. Let’s use simple for our example.

If you are a sole proprietor the owner’s equity account should simply equal the accumulated balance of your net income and loss up to this point for each year since you started your business. If you started in 2008 and had a loss of $5,000 in 2008, a loss of $3,000 in 2009 and for 2010 showed a $10,000 profit, your owner’s equity balance should be $2,000. The current year profit or loss will not be included until after the end of the year and is posted to the

equity account.

Accounting software can really help you manage your records and analyze the results. The more you understand about how the software captures those numbers the better, so learn as much as you can, get help when you need it, and use the tools to help your business succeed.

Academy Director Ann Anderson concluded the ceremony and in her comments said “your class has been so outstanding. You have left your mark both in the community at large as well as here on our campus.” She went on to say “we will never forget you; we

will never forget what you do for this campus. You have raised the bar for future LPN classes.”

Students enrolled in the LPN program at the Cassadaga Job Corps Academy are co-enrolled with both the Academy and Erie 2 BOCES. The program consists of classroom lecture and instruction, development of nursing skills and techniques and rotations through local healthcare facilities that allow students firsthand clinical

knowledge of the duties of a nurse. All students receive instruction and clinical supervision from BOCES staff while supportive services and a scholarship to attend the program are provided by Job Corps.

This graduating class will now finalize preparations to take their LPN board exams later this year. For more information about the LPN program at the Cassadaga Job Corps Academy please contact Mike Pietrkiewicz at 716-595-4298 or visit http://cassadaga.jobcorps.gov.

Teenagers, Work, and School

Randy DeVaul

A job can be very rewarding for a teen as s/he gains handson experience, earns extra income, and learns new skills.

However, sometimes what’s

required for the job is beyond what a teen can handle. In 2005, 54 youth under age 18 died from work-related injuries. It is estimated that approximately 160,000 youth sustain work-related injuries and illnesses each year.

Young workers have high occupational injury rates which are in part explained by a high frequency of injury hazards in workplaces where they typically work (e.g. hazards in restaurant settings associated with slippery floors and use of knives and cooking equipment). Inexperience and lack of safety training may also increase injury risks for young

workers. According to the US National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) under the Centers for Disease Control, the rate for emergency departmenttreated occupational injuries of young workers was approximately two times higher than among workers 25 years and older.

Kids that are just starting out will attempt most anything to gain experience and the paycheck. In addition, they will want to demonstrate to their bosses that they can handle the tasks given them and already know how to do those tasks. This is a critical mistake

by both the worker and the employer. Even in the adult work world, thinking and saying that you know how to do something simply because you have ‘done it before’ simply means you most likely know how to do it wrong, incorrectly, or at some level of risk to your safety and health.

The type of jobs that kids are able to qualify for while still students are not the highly skilled positions so often the assumption is that every new employee over the age of 15 knows how to do the job for which she is applying. Task training is minimal, oversight and careful supervision may

be little or lacking entirely, and little direction is provided as to the requirements for meal and rest breaks, working ‘after hours’ and overtime work, just to name a few examples.

Take an active role in your child’s employment, and know the laws. There are reasons why laws restrict the working hours of students so don’t allow your student to work more hours than the law allows.

Watch for signs of fatigue or stress as your child tries to balance work, school, home, and extracurricular activities.

Changes in grades, even behavior, can be indicators that your teen has too much on his or her plate and can’t handle all of it. If your child is fulltime in school and attempting some form of social life, the job really is what needs to go first or, at least, mandate fewer hours during the school week. Talk to your child regularly about what is going on at work, how the work is going, and pry a little into how the work is actually being done to ensure your child is safe.

Be the parent – keep your child safe at work and at home.

you must, then create away!)

I made pockets for memorabilia in the center of the book. I took the two center pages and folded them into triangles to create a diamond shape with four openings. I used a brad to attach them to the preceding pages, which I covered in patterned paper.

On the left pocket, I used my craft knife to trim a flourish accent from another piece of patterned paper that coordinated in both shape and color. I punched circles from scraps of a glittered cardstock I could not bear to part with, added rub on-letters, and adhered them to “tags” I made from scrap cardstock covered with paper from the festival brochures. With the “fantasy” spelled out in rhinestones and “fest” on the tags, there’s no need for any additional journaling about the location.

I put coasters, tickets, maps and other souvenirs in the pockets, and glued the feather from someone’s costume, the cigar wrapper and a cigarillo to the page to complete the look as well as to make sure they didn’t fall out of the pockets.

This “pocket” concept for those small mementos can

also be replicated on a traditional page, though access to the objects is much more difficult when sliding the page in and out of a plastic protector. They’re perfect to hold the little things you want to keep with your pages that just don’t work with the overall design.

It’s fun to see the tiny treasures, receipts and other assorted items from your event, without having them be the the focus or even the accent.

Beware of those Halloween pockets, though – there might be more “trick” in there than “treat.”

This week’s FREE pick: Autumn leaves, available in piles everywhere. These colorful harbingers of the freezing weather to come do make fantastic scrapbook accents and are perfect for small projects. Next week’s column will feature them in a Thanksgiving layout.

to compromise. Also let him know that the pressure to have sex puts a strain on your relationship with him. When it comes to your boyfriend, a separation must be made between love and lust. If your boyfriend truly loves you, he will respect your convictions and won’t pressure you. If he becomes angry and continues to pressure you about it, you will know that he is primarily motivated by lust. Even if you love him, you must recognize that he may not be the one for you. You may be better off

waiting for a boyfriend who truly loves and respects you.

Remember. Sexual love was designed by God to be a wonderful and fulfilling aspect of the husband-wife relationship.

Settling for a poor imitation will only leave you with regret. God has a wonderful plan for you and will always reward those who desire to serve Him and are willing to wait for His best!

wasn’t met by a chorus of “I told you so.” The father ran to him with arms extended. The father summoned the best robe and fanciest ring in the house to clad this wayward son. A homecoming party was thrown for the man of self-made disaster. This is what God wants to do for you!

God will not remind you of your faults. The moment you decide you want out, God is there. The second you decide that God’s house is better than all this world has to offer, God gets the robe and ring ready.

These things aren’t given out of reward; they are given out of pure love. The heart of God is ready to treat you better

than you deserve.

Luke 15 also tells us that the prodigal son had a cynical older brother. This brother was critical and offended that the wayward son didn’t have to “work” his way back into favor. Unfortunately, this critical older brother represents the Church. Seldom do God’s people share the Father’s heart. Too often we give people what they deserve when we should have had our arms extended towards those who want to come back. God will forget thousands of bad decisions to bless you for a single good one. We should do the same for others.

Scrapbooking Today

By Anne Walterich Contributing Writer

Autumn, with all of it’s exquisite colors and spectacular beauty, is my least favorite time of year. I dread turning the calendar page from September to October. The trees, bursting with red, orange and gold, suddenly shed their leaves and leave skeletal branches reaching with bony fingers toward the sky to say “OK, Lake-Effect clouds, bring on the snow, right down here.” The last of the seasonal cottage owners winterize, the vacationers return to school and work and, most importantly, I can no longer sit on the beach with a book while Jim is inside at Cabana Sam’s watching the Bills game with the rest of the folks from Sunset Bay. Though the weather this week has arguably worth making an exception to my way of thinking, it’s not the norm.

For as much as I dread the upcoming winter season, there are three parts of Autumn I enjoy: my birthday, Halloween, Thanksgiving, in that order chronologically as well as importance. I’ll be 33 in a

few weeks and look forward to sharing that occasion with my four friends who also share birthdays around the same time. We’ve always had a celebration at a nice restaurant (Bacchus Wine Bar and Restaurant on Chippewa St. in Buffalo is a favorite) and I think they look forward to an evening away from their small children as much as I look forward to their company. It’s not an occasion I’ve ever scrapbooked, though, and I plan to get a photo of us, glamorous and full of life, to create a digital page.

Halloween, hands down, is my favorite holiday to scrapbook.

Perhaps it’s my inner sociologist or the ancient Celtic part of my genetic stew, but observing the Pagan rituals of yesteryear performed in a VERY different fashion by people of every age today just makes me giddy. I love to watch people’s creativity and expression of their inner selves with costumes, and I wonder what inspires them in their daily lives.

I’ve had the good fortune to celebrate the last two Halloweens in Key West. The annual clothing-optional, boisterous festival is not for the faint of

heart. The colors and tropical location are much different than the bone-chilling dampness and dark, gray creepiness of Chautauqua County at night. I’m positive that the Florida kids will never wear winter coats over their costumes to trick-or-treat while dodging snowflakes the way I did as a child in Western New York. On a side note, from observing others I discovered that I should never feel uncomfortable with my body’s “imperfections,” that I’m a bigger prude than I thought

I was, and I’m perfectly fine with both of those things.

An ordinary 12” X 12” scrapbook would not do to commemorate such a unique and circus-like occasion. I took an old hardcover book I found at a garage sale and altered it to create a mini-book for my photos and ephemera.

Keeping the Faith

By Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church of Chautauqua County

Dear Pastor, my college boyfriend is pressuring me for sex.

I was raised to believe that this is wrong. How should I handle this?

First of all, I want to commend you for your convictions and decision to seek help before you acted. Many people have succumbed to temptation or sexual persuasion simply because they weren’t prepared before a response was needed.

First, I want to give a biblical overview of sex for the sake

of our KTF readers. God is the Creator of sex and He intended it to be a pleasurable expression of love between a husband and wife (Genesis 1:27-28). When they have sex, they are making a sacred and permanent covenant with each other in God’s eyes (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:6).

Sex is a sacred thing to God and any expression, outside of marriage, is forbidden (1 Corinthians 7:2). When a married person has sex with someone other than his or her spouse, the Bible refers to this as

adultery. Fornication occurs when an unmarried person has sex. Having sex outside of what God intended is like cashing a savings bond before its maturity date. It won’t be worth as much and it always comes with a penalty.

Your situation will be a real test. I would encourage you to have a “heart to heart” talk with your boyfriend. Let him know, about your convictions about not having sex before marriage. Be kind, but firm in your unwillingness

The Weekly Word

No Longer Victims of Our Own Choices

Rev. Tim Stahlman Family Church of the Southern Tier

Being in the midst of a heavyweight trial is never a fun feeling. The only thing that

seems worse is when you realize that the trial is selfmade. What do we do when we are the victims of our own reckless decisions? After all, we are getting what we deserve; we are lying in the bed we have made for ourselves. Maybe your entire life is one great big self-induced disaster. Maybe your mind is attacked with the thought of serving a life sentence at the hands of your own bad choices. The devil will tell you that you are hopeless. He will say that you have forfeited any help from God because you did this to yourself. The devil is a lonely being that is without hope so he desperately

wants you to feel hopeless. But you are not hopeless like him.

God is always for you, even when you brought the trouble upon yourself.

Psalm 103:10 says, “God has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.” Luke chapter 15 gives the account of the prodigal son who took his father’s inheritance and squandered it on prostitutes and drunken parties. This wayward young man found himself face down in the mud eating with barnyard hogs; without help and without hope. But this young man had a revelation:

He said, “I will go back to my father’s house…” He was basically saying, “I am a son, a child of a wealthy man. Surely that is where my help is.” This prodigal son could have felt indebted to this miserable life because he made it for himself. He could have felt at home in the mud. No, we should never feel at home in defeat! Even if we are the source of our own peril. How long will we be content living in the pig pen? There is a Father-God who will pull you out of the mire and love you with a victorious love.

As this young man traveled back to his father’s house, he

YMCA Focus on Health borhood pays off in increased energy and stamina. Most health-club aerobics classes are just an hour long, yet offer big fitness dividends. Taking care of yourself is one of the best things you can do for your family.

2. Enjoy the beautiful season Seeing the different colors in the fall is inspiring. Get outside and enjoy the season by bicycling, walking, hiking, jogging, and playing golf and tennis.

Explore parks in your area; find a new bike path through the woods, take a walk around a lake. The time spent out in nature will do as much good for your mind as for your body.

3. Return to your club or gym It takes 30 days to make fitness a habit, and supplementing outdoor exercise with increasingly frequent visits to your health club will help diversify your exercise regimen and set the stage for regular workouts once autumn’s leaves have fallen.

A well-rounded fitness regimen is important. While aerobic activity such as running or bicycling is good for

your heart, resistance training is also a critical component of a balanced program, so be sure to take advantage of your club’s weight lifting equipment.

4. An apple a day In many parts of the country, autumn is synonymous with the apple harvest. Apples are a delicious and nutritious snack that can be enjoyed any time of day.

Remember that each of us should be getting at least four to five servings of fresh fruit and vegetables every day. However, nine out of 10 Americans do not meet these recommendations.

5. Make it social One of the great things about exercise is that it doesn’t need to be done alone. Find a friend, family member, or co-worker with a similar fitness level and goals; having a partner helps you both stay motivated. You can use your exercise time to catch up on each other’s lives.

Boredom is the number one killer of good health and fitness regimens. Exercising with a friend puts the fun back into your workout.

Q&A

Set the stage for new love

Q: My dog doesn’t like new people, but I have jumped into online dating with an eye to get married. When I meet someone, what’s the best way to handle it so my dog accepts a significant other? — via email A: Meeting the family of a significant other is a major step in a relationship — and introducing a significant other to your much-adored dog can be just as nerve-wracking. Both dogs and cats can be territorial and unhappy about change, but dogs are more likely to be possessive when it comes to their home turf, which includes their owners. So the new person in the household is often automatically associated with something negative, like the time and affection that you are suddenly lavishing on your date instead of your dog.

The good news is that there are several ways to help your dog not only tolerate such an interloper, but also gladly welcome him or her into the household.

Before introducing your dog to a significant other, bring home something that your boyfriend or girlfriend has worn, like a T-shirt used for sleeping. Let your pup sniff the item first, and then present your dog with a reward, such as a game of fetch, a walk or dinner. By pairing the smell of your new partner with something positive, your dog begins to associate that person with good things before they even meet. You can also say your significant other’s name out loud before you present the item and the reward, repeating this process several times.

When you’re ready for the actual introduction, opt for neutral territory, like the park or an outdoor cafe. And let your dog approach your date first, while he or she stands sideways to the dog, avoiding direct eye contact. Supply your date with extra-special treats cut into bite-size pieces — cooked chicken breast, turkey hot dogs or steak — that he or she can feed the dog. If your pup is more timid, tossing the treats on the ground will suffice.

Once your dog has taken a few treats directly from your date’s hand, do something that your dog really enjoys, such as going to the dog park or beach.

Each time your dog looks up at your partner, have your partner offer a treat.

Repeat this until your date is able to pet the dog, and continue to reward the pup with treats after every few strokes.

You should stand nearby to supervise, but stay in the background, so the main affection that your dog receives comes from your significant other. If your dog relaxes and appears to enjoy the presence of your date, either walk back to your house together or ride in the same car. Once inside the house, have your partner hand the dog a favorite longlasting chew or play a game of fetch.

For the first few visits, you should meet on neutral territory, such as the sidewalk or front lawn. And always say your partner’s name as he or she approaches, allowing your date to reward the dog with treats, a game or a walk.

If your dog shows discomfort, extreme stress or aggression at any point during the meet-and-greet with your partner, contact your veterinarian for additional advice. — Mikkel Becker Do you have a pet question? Send it to petconnection@gmail.com.

CLEAN AND HEALTHY

Weekly bathing gets the thumbs-up from veterinary search

A healthy pet is worth the bill

By Gina Spadafori Universal Uclick

ogs are content to live in dogsmell heaven, a place where water is only for drinking or swimming and never has soap added. Sadly, from a canine point of view, we make the rules that dictate how often dogs must be bathed.

But how often is that? Forget that old saw about “every six months” or even “every year.” Who wants to live with a stinky dog? New veterinary research shows that weekly bathing with an appropriate shampoo — ask your veterinarian for a recommendation — will not only keep your dog pleasant to be around, but will also minimize or even eliminate skin problems.

So get ready: We’re going to wash the dog!

Before you start, brush your dog well.

Mats and tangles, once wet, just get worse and will likely have to be cut out. So The idea that a dog should go months between baths is as outdated as doing laundry in a washtub. get them out of the way first. finish the job by rubbing him dry when he’s done.

About Pet Connection

While many pet lovers worry about their animal getting sick, fewer worry about the vet bill.

• Although a quarter of people say their greatest worry about their pet is that the animal will get sick, less than half that number are concerned about the cost of veterinary care, according to a survey of 1,500 pet owners by PetMD. The survey also found that 34 percent of owners were able to say they knew what was best for their pet’s health.

In other findings, 15 percent said they would automatically buy a product from a company that endorses a charity than from a competitor that did not. Two-thirds of those polled would not vote for a presidential candidate if they sensed he or she did not like pets, and nine in 10 would fight with more passion over a pet than over money in a divorce.

• Ten years after the 9/11 attacks, canine rescuers show significantly less damaging health effects compared to humans who were involved in the rescue effort. According to a study by the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine, the dogs did not develop problems with their lungs and sinuses in the aftermath, unlike the respiratory effects that have intensely affected humans with reactive airway diseases, including asthma and sinusitis. The majority of dogs received only minor scrapes and cuts, even though they were not wearing protective gear.

• Chimpanzees will “fake laugh” for the sake of social bonding, similar to the way people do. A study searched chimpanzee laughing and found that when one chimp laughed, other chimps will respond with a sound that didn’t match the full acoustic structure of real laugh, meaning they were actually faking it. The fake laughing was most likely to occur in newly formed colonies where chimps likely were not as familiar with each other.

Chautauqua County Humane Society Pet of the Week

This week we are featuring “Rupert”. He is a 7-month-old shepherd mix. He is neutered, has all his vaccines and is microchipped. Rupert is a sweet boy, but still has puppy energy and would benefit from some obedience classes.

He has a longer coat, so he will need to be brushed to keep it looking good. Rupert would do best in a home that has time to exercise and play with him. He is ready to move into your home and your heart.

Oscar is still waiting for his new family.

Amidst Injuries, Ineligibilities, Dunkirk Still In Position To Make Playoffs

By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

It’s been a tale of two seasons this year for the Dunkirk football team.

Through five games, they’ve gone winless at home (0-3) but have managed to win both of their road games.

So, now at 2-3 (2-2 B South) the Marauders will hope to keep their good fortune on the road going strong when they visit Springville (2-3, 1-2 B South) to take on the Griffins Friday night.

“Maybe going on the road will be a good thing for us,” head coach Tim Majka joked.

But, they’ll have to do so without quarterback Kevin Burns, who will be out for the rest of the season with an injury. Taking over will be senior captain and former wide receiver Mike Donaldson.

Donaldson had a productive season out wide, but will be needed under center if the Marauders can get the much-needed win in Springville.

“Our passing game won’t be as complex,” Majka said. “We have to simplify it a little bit. We’ll go under center a little bit more too.”

In addition to getting star running back Eddie Marshall back, Majka said he plans on switching things up a little bit in the backfield.

“We’ll load up back there a little bit and get the ball to some of our bigger runners like Zack Torain.”

If Dunkirk can win, they’ll guarantee finishing no worse than fourth place and still be alive to grab the No. 2 seed in B South. To qualify for

sectional playoffs, Dunkirk would need to finish either second or third — although third place will involve a series of more complex tiebreakers.

“We laid it all out for the kids,” Majka said. “Some coaches might have chose not to do that, but we wanted them to know where we stand. We want to finish second, let’s go for it.”

To do that, Dunkirk will need to beat Springville and hope Olean loses one of their final two games. The good news about that is Olean plays undefeated Pioneer this week.

If that comes to fruition, — and Eden wins their final two games — Continued on pg 3

Under The Radar Frewsburg Heads To Maple Grove

By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

It’s another Class D showdown in Chautauqua County as two of the top teams in the state will square off for a piece of the regular season title.

For the third week in a row, the Maple Grove Red Dragons will take on a team ranked in the Top 10 of New York State’s Class D rankings.

That team is Frewsburg (4-1, 2-1 D) who comes in winners of four straight. With a senior-laden squad, the Bears are looking to avenge last year’s season-ending loss at the hands of the Red Dragons in the sectional quarterfinals.

Behind 14 seniors, Frewsburg has been hot of late, winning four in a row since a heartbreaking twopoint loss to Randolph in their opener.

“With the Randolph game, we were a missing a few guys from ineligibility and injuries,” Frewsburg head coach Terry Gray said. “But the kids played their hearts out and I was OK with it. We’ve learned to put that one behind us.”

Nicholson Named To Preseason Wooden List

Leading the way has been running backs Thad Johnson and Devone Adelgren. Both are well on pace to run for more than 1,000 yards and have been causing havoc on the ground for opponents all season long. With Adelgren in the lineup — he missed the opener against Randolph — Frewsburg hasn’t been held under 41 points and have won all four of their games.

“They are two tremendous athletes,” Gray said. “They’re a little different, but it’s all about trying to get them into space.”

Johnson has run for 930 yards in just five games. He’s also thrown for more than 300 yards in Gray’s twoquarterback offensive system along with Preston Wiltsie.

“You know Preston hasn’t gotten any credit for what he’s done for us,” Gray said. “He’s done a lot of thankless jobs like blocking out of the slot and really he’s been just as big of a leader, calling plays and such as Thad.”

Regardless Johnson has been the key stat-stuffer, running for three Continued on pg 3

The St. Bonaventure senior forward has been named to the John Wooden Preseason Top 50 list, the Los Angeles Athletic Club has announced earlier in the week.

The Wooden Award is handed out

annually to the top player in Division I college basketball at season’s end and is the most prestigious award in the sports. It is the equivalent to the famed Heisman Award in football.

Each year, the Athletic Club names 50 players to a “watch list” before the year starts rewarding what is considered to be the top 50 players in the entire country.

Nicholson, a senior from Mississauga, Ontario, has been a dynamic force for the Bonnies ever since stepping onto campus his freshman year.

Fredonia Stomps Cleve Hill, Claims C North No. 1 Seed

By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

If there was any doubt about which Class C team is best in Section VI this year, the Fredonia Hillbillies (5-0, 5-0 C North) probably put an end to that this past Saturday.

With an emphatic 26-16 road win over Cleve Hill (41, 3-1 C North), the Hillbillies clinched the Class C South title and are in prime position to repeat as the sectional champs.

They have clearly made themselves the team to beat in Class C and after losing in the state semi-finals, head coach Bob Ball’s team might be on the verge of a repeat appearance.

Ball couldn’t stress enough before the game how his team needed to be well prepared to both run and throw the ball, depending on how the Eagles would play them.

Well, with the Eagles stacking the line, Connor Farnham threw over the top of it as Weston Key caught three touchdown passes of 15, 30 and 30.

Key’s final touchdown catch gave the Hillbillies a 19-8 lead and seemed to put the game out of reach. Running back Dylan Cassidy later ran for a 40-yard score to ice it, though, giving Fredonia a 26-6 lead.

The matchup of undefeated teams wasn’t nearly as close as most would have predicted. Cleve Hill was ranked No. 2 in the state and Fredonia, who was No. 6, figured to have a difficult time stopping the Eagles’ high-scoring offense.

But, it seemed to be business as usual for Fredonia, who completely shut down quarterback Daryl Spencer and the Eagles.

Now, Fredonia will wrap up

Jamestown Wins Third In A Row Behind DeCinque, Offensive Line

By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

It was another big rout for the Jamestown Red Raiders who improved to 4-1 (3-1 AA South) on the year with a 4714 win over Lancaster.

Jamestown jumped out quick behind Spencer DeCinque, who ran for four touchdowns, three of which came in the first half. His 40-yard touchdown run to open the second half gave Jamestown a 33-0 lead and when Jacob Gullo ran in another touchdown later, the Red Raiders were Peter Trathen (White No. 54) and Tyler Johnson (Blue No. 56) fight for positioning in Saturday’s stunningly up 40-0 before the Class C matchup between Cassadaga Valley and Southwestern.

(just under 700).

Frewsburg will finish up the year with two road games against the Red Dragons and the Silver Creek Black Knights.

Silver Creek snapped a twogame losing streak with a 27-6 win against I-Prep, ensuring they will open the Class D playoffs at home.

Zeddie Williams caught a touchdown and for a touchdown to open the scoring, giving the Black Knights a 12-0 lead heading into the fourth quarter. From there, quarterback John Jimerson threw another touchdown pass to Frank Brown to put Silver Creek in control, 20-0.

They’ll host St. Mary’s this week in a non-league game before playing Frewsburg to end the year.

Class DD Roundup It was another easy win for Chautauqua Lake, who moved to 5-0 in Class DD by beating Pine Valley (0-5, 0-5 DD) 447. Jason McMahon threw for two touchdowns, while Chris Sampson ran for three scores.

It’s a shame the Thunderbirds won’t get an opportunity to play anybody this else this season, as they are not eligible for Class D state playoffs. They’ve outscored opponents 188-25 and the seven points they allowed against Pine Valley was the most they’ve allowed all season long.

Chautauqua Lake has a bit of a showdown this week against Panama, who has clearly been the second best team in DD this year. We’ll see if the inaugural Class DD title is up for grabs.

Meanwhile, the Panthers scored their lone score on a John Schimek touchdown run.

Schimek ran for 33 yards on the day. They play at Sherman next week.

Panama (4-1, 4-1 DD) beat Franklinville 28-7 behind Alec Blose’s big day. The junior fullback ran for a pair of touchdowns and also returned an interception for a score in the first half to give the Panthers some breathing room.

It’s been a fun season for Chris Payne’s squad who has already doubled their win total from last season.

Sherman won a key contest between 2-2 teams as they beat Clymer 22-12 to move to 3-2 (3-2 DD). Only the top four teams will make the Sectional Class DD playoffs and that win might come in handy for the Wildcats if they were to get into a tie in the standings at year’s end.

Meanwhile, the Clymer Pirates (2-3, 2-3 DD) have now lost two in a row and will look to rebound this week against Ellicottville/West Valley. That will be another matchup against a 3-2 team and will be a must win for Clymer. Were they to lose, they would be eliminated from making the playoffs.

Chris Winkler COMMENTARY

I like baseball, always have.

- But it’s getting to the point giv- where I’m wondering if any0 body else does. h Prime example was Monday w night, where the New York Yankees and Detroit Tigers were locked into one-heckof-a playoff baseball game in an extremely decisive Game 3 of the American League Division Series. o Over on ESPN, was the beloved Monday Night Football, a complete dud of a game between the Peyton ved Manning-less and winless ng Indianapolis Colts and the 44- can-you-name-a-single-playor er Tampa Bay Buccaneers. ris Heck even Hank Williams es. and all of his rowdy friends ds weren’t invited.

The ratings? The Tigers-Yansea-kees received a 4.8 overnight for rating. Not terrible consider’ve ing that was up 30 percent 25 from last years Yankeesl- Twins Game 3, also on TBS. was In addition, the Detroit marl ket registered a 25.0 rating.

All these ratings mean are of basically what percentage of nst the population was watching that program at some point. in Meanwhile the Monday e Night game received an 8.01 up according to ESPN’s Colin Cowherd.

That’s nearly double for a a crappy, near-meaningless run. football game versus a pivotn al postseason baseball game man involving the most famous team in America.

You can argue the numbers Alec all you want, but for whatull- ever reason, this country is - more in tune with football. n Look, I get it, football is the he premier sport in this counrs try, but what person in their right mind would rather hris watch that MNF game inady stead of a very good playoff m baseball game.

My own TV never once t flicked on the Bucs-Colts game, and even though I’m a pretty a big baseball fan, I op could really care less about ec- the Tigers and even less d about the Yankees. ndy Meanwhile, nearly all of my e tofriends that night were glued gs to the Bucs and the Colts for reasons I’ll never know. But, atesdon’t worry, baseball isn’t a t dying sport or anything like that. st Second down: Sticking on That the business aspect of sports, I can’t help but be drawn to be the love affair the state of re Wisconsin is in with Badgers star quarterback Russell e Wilson.

What’s so interesting about this, though, is the whole

situation provides a fittingly quick glimpse into what’s wrong with college athletics.

First of all, Wilson played his last three seasons at North Carolina State where he became a household name starting nearly every game for the Wolfpack in that stretch. He threw for more than 3,000 yards and 35 total touchdowns combined each of the last two seasons.

But after being drafted by the Colorado Rockies (Wilson was also a star on the NC State baseball team) Wolfpack head coach Tom O’Brien had enough and told his star QB he was no longer wanted.

Well, Wilson found a little bit of a loop in the system — although I commend him — and was able to transfer and immediately play for Wisconsin because NC State did not offer his graduate program.

Now look, Wilson is a smart kid — has been ACC AllAcademic Team before and graduated in three years — but he chose Wisconsin because head Bret Bielema and every single college football analyst knew the Badgers were a really good quarterback away from a possible National Championship run.

Well the Badgers are 5-0 after destroying Nebraska on national TV and Wilson is a frontrunner to win the Heisman Award.

Meantime, his jersey sales are flying through the roof.

According to sports business analysts Darren Rovell, you can’t find his jersey anywhere. Not in men’s, ladies, infants or anything in between. They’re all sold out.

Don’t forget, according to the NCAA, these aren’t Russell Wilson jerseys. They’re Wisconsin Player No. 16 jerseys, so Wilson gets, you guessed it, zero dollars.

All for one year of a free education. Not a bad deal huh Wisconsin?

Third down: The only thing on my mind when I think third down is how in the world Stevie Johnson’s catch was ruled incomplete on third-and-one late in the fourth quarter. I was at the game, so I didn’t really get to see a good enough replay yet of the call. Even still, I was angry they didn’t run the ball.

But, even all the Bengals fans that surrounded me couldn’t understand why the far official called it incomplete and were sure it would be overturned to the correct call.

Nevertheless, it wasn’t. The Bills punted and you know the rest. I never thought I’d say this but it sucks to be 3-1.

Fourth down: Be sure to get out to the Jamestown Ironmen home opener this Friday. The team has already played 10 games this season and has certainly been dying to get back home. They’ll play the Port Huron Fighting Falcons both Friday and Saturday nights at 7:05 p.m.

DUNKIRK STILL PURSUING PLAYOFFS continued from pg 1 there would be a three-way tie for second place in B South.

The tiebreaker would be determined by point differential in divisional games, which bodes fairly well for Dunkirk right now.

But, first things first, they’ll have to beat Springville this week or any hopes of a postseason bid are long gone. The Griffins have played just about everyone tough, including Pioneer — the likely B South champion — who they lost to 26-19 in Week 3. They also

lost a tight game to Olean — the only team besides Pioneer who can win B South — 12-6 in Week 2 and even beat Salamanca — the likely C South champion — in Week 1, handing the Warriors their only loss of the season.

So, what does this all mean?

Well it means Springville is probably not nearly as bad as their 2-3 record might indicate. And with two teams left on their schedule ahead of them in the standings — Dunkirk and Eden — left on

the schedule, the Griffins are still well alive for the Class B playoffs.

“They’ve played everybody tough all season long,” Majka said. “They have a tough option offense and they’re awfully good at it.”

One thing for sure is Dunkirk had their fair share bad luck this season. They’ve missed their key players in big games such as Marshall, Kyle Utegg and now the injury to Burns.

But, as Majka told me before

the year started, the team was set on making it to the sectional playoffs and getting a chance to play for league championship at Ralph Wilson Stadium.

“We got the guys together and sort of compared it to other sports,” Majka said. “We’re missing shots in basketball or going through a hitless slump in baseball. But we have to keep working hard because what we wanted to accomplish is still in front of us.”

FREWSBURG VERSE MAPLE GROVE continued from pg 1 touchdowns in each of his last two games. When he wasn’t the primary playmaker three weeks ago, Adelgren took over, running for four touchdowns himself. Meanwhile, if those two aren’t doing the damage, teams also have to look out for fellow seniors Dalton Peterson and Chad Intihar, who have each had multiple touchdown games in the past three weeks.

Paving the way for all of this has been an experienced and outrageously deep offensive line.

“It’s probably the best I’ve ever coached,” Gray said.

“They’ve been tremendous all season long.”

Meanwhile, the only team that’s been more impressive than Frewsburg in Class D this year, Maple Grove, will look to seal the division title with a win that would push them to 6-0.

After back-to-back blowout wins against Silver Creek (34-14) and Randolph (38-6) the Red Dragons will face another Top 10 team in Frewsburg.

They’re led by senior John Nickerson, who has been a bulldozer of a running back

and a tackling machine on defense.

Meanwhile senior quarterback Alex Grace has done a tremendous job leading the offense and has the ability to beat opponents through the air and on the ground.

Maple Grove has seemingly yet to be tested and as of right now, look like the team to beat in Section VI. Their closest game was a 20-point win over Silver Creek in Week 4, but that wasn’t even really that close of a game despite the final score.

However, Gray has kept his

squad even-keeled and said Friday night’s game won’t change much for his squad.

“Friday night is just another test for our kids,” Gray said.

“We haven’t talked about it much, but they know everything about that game, and all the implications.

“For us, we’re just preaching a new thing every week and this week, it’s honesty,” Gray continued. “We want our kids to do the right things off the field and that’s going to equal right things on the field. It’s not just about talking about it, it’s really having it. And right now, we have that.”

Unsolicited advice for Rory McIlroy

TEEING OFF

IT’S GOOD FOR YOUR GAME

Stay connected Chris Condon/US PGA TOUR

To “save” Rory McIlroy’s career, I’d recommend three things: 1. He’s moving to Florida, but I recommend that he stay in Belfast where the weather is bad. He risks turning into a bluebird — a golfer who can only play great when the conditions are perfect.

“I’m not a fan of golf tournaments that the outcome is predicted so much by the weather,” McIloy has said. “I’d rather play when it’s 80 degrees and sunny and not much wind.”

A champion must learn to be at his best when things are at their worst, which is one reason the European golfers are better than we are. They have two games to our one: the game in the air and the game on the ground.

McILROY McIlory needs to stay home and learn to play both games. He’ll win more and that will more than make up for the absence of sales tax in Florida.

2. Fire his caddy — the very same caddie who let his player with a multimillion-dollar future hit off an exposed root. Caddies can choke, too, and this guy has a history of it.

3. As for his swing, McIlroy is one of those good players I call “3 percenters,” i.e., his error never shows up in practice and usually not on the golf course, except in high-pressure situations. So he can only work on the problem during the last nine holes of a major when his caddy is choking and no one else can give him guidance.

His problem is his Time IQ: He needs to work on his transition rate at the top of his swing. Contrary to conventional wisdom, his smoothness is the problem. His instinct under pressure is to try to be even smoother, and this fouls his sequence, leaving the club suspended up there at the top of his swing such that he can’t catch up. As Voltaire said, “Perfect is the enemy of the good.”

If you look at the best players, they all have a little move that’s a peg to hang their hat on — Trevino, Irwin, Nicklaus, Hogan, Furyk and even Sam Snead with his reroute over-the-top action. When the brain goes on search during the swing and finds that peg, it’s a signal that the player can relax. But when there is no peg, as with ultra-smoothies, then any little deviation is fed back as a mistake, causing an inswing “no” signal that results in a bad shot.

McIlroy needs to find a peg.

In order to create the proper sequence, your front arm must swing across the front of your body during the takeaway, keeping your triceps muscle snug against the top of your chest. This way, during your downswing, the upper arm stays melded to your chest so the full force of your body is behind the club at impact.

Your job is to create a connection between your lead arm and your body at address, and then keep it all the way through your swing. At no time should there be any slack in your backswing because slack breeds slap, i.e., looseness in the backswing causes a weak, slapping action through impact due to a lack of connection.

By swinging the lead arm to create maximum stretch, you keep tension in the muscles constant, which leads to a powerful release of this tension at impact. Also, the

more stretch ABOUT THE WRITER you create, Dr. T.J. the wider Tomasi is a teaching your swing professional arc will be, in Port St. Lucie, Fla. which means Visit his more clubwebsite at head speed tjtomasi.com. and power.

You don’t consciously prevent your chest from moving, but you condition it to wait for the lead arm’s tug.

One more thing and the takeaway: Allow your trail elbow to “float,” which will open a window between your elbow and your side. If your elbow stays against your side, your club will pivot around it, taking the hands inside the toe line, a difficult position to recover from. Allowing the trail elbow to float prevents the hands from moving inside the toe line prematurely.

This drill will help you develop good connection between your lead arm and chest: Place a board on the ground as I have in the left-hand photo above. The object is to push the board away during my takeaway. The board provides enough resistance to keep my left arm on my chest. When I lose connection by lifting my arm off my chest, I will have trouble pushing the board back. In the right-hand photo, I’ve pushed the board away and my lead arm is still connected to my chest. The arrow indicates that a “window” has opened between my trail elbow and my right side. This causes my right forearm to ride higher than my left at the end of my takeaway and keeps my hands on my toe line.

ASK THE PRO Q: Could you give me your opinion of hybrids? I haven’t switched yet, but I’m about to. My handicap is 15, and I’m 58.

— Matt A: A hybrid is just that — a combination of an iron and a wood. But not all hybrids are the same. Some are more like irons, with flat faces, while others have some bulge or roll on the clubface. The length of the shaft is shorter than a metal/ wood, but longer (one-half to one inch) than a long iron.

Hybrids are fast replacing the long irons because they’re easier to hit from a wide range of lies and the ball flies higher. There are two problems with the long irons (2 through 5): First, most golfers don’t have the club head speed to get the ball high enough in the air, and second, a long iron has a thin face with a high center of gravity.

Hybrids are usually much thicker from front to back and therefore the center of gravity is lower, making it much

easier to hit the ball higher. And when a ball stays in the air longer, it travels farther.

The higher trajectory and a higher swing speed is a combination that gives you a feeling of confidence. And once you’re confident, you’ll feel as if you don’t have to overswing to hit it far, and this can translate into hitting the ball even farther.

To stay within the 14-club limit, you might carry the 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, pitching wedge, sand wedge, putter and driver in your core set, then add your hybrid clubs. My recommendation is to add a rescue club or two to your bag, but since some golfers have problems hitting hybrids, don’t forget to “try before you buy” just to make sure hybrids are right for you.

THE GOLF DOCTOR

There are three rules in particular that work to slow the pace of play in golf: the lost ball rule, the free drop rule, and the stroke-and-distance or out-of-bounds rule.

Out of bounds If you hit a ball out of bounds (OB), you have no choice but to hit again from the original location.

Who came up with this dumb rule?

In many cases, you can’t tell if you’re out of bounds, so you hit another ball (time consuming). Or you travel to your ball, find that it’s OB, then go all the way back to the spot you already hit from (really time consuming). And, of course, if it’s a difficult shot, you may hit it OB again.

A high handicap faced with an OBlined golf course and playing in a stiff wind might never finish the round — at least on the same day he started.

Fast Play Rule Change: Make OB a one-shot penalty and drop two club lengths from the point of exit.

Free drop rule At the Masters a few years ago, Ernie Els hooked his tee shot on the 11th hole 50 yards into the woods.

After a search worthy of Stanley and Livingstone, his ball was found in a terrible lie near a pile of brush. The rules official gave him relief, claiming that the brush was “piled for removal” and 15 minutes after his awful tee shot, Els escaped by executing a perfect free drop that created a thin avenue in the trees through which he punched out into the fairway.

Fast Play Rule Change: Allow no free drops anywhere on the course.

If a player has to take relief, it costs a stroke. If he doesn’t drop within a minute, it costs him another shot.

Lost ball rule Is there anything more exasperating than having an open green ahead and watching the foursome in front of you hunting for a lost ball? By strict rule, a player has five minutes to find his ball, and that’s the problem. All it takes is one golfer who invokes this rule and it plugs up the golf course for the rest of the day.

Fast Play Rule Change: Do a quick once-around look in the general area and if you can’t find your ball in two minutes, play your next shot from that area with a one-shot penalty. Call it the “once-around rule,” alias the “no-hunt rule.”

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

Walk your way to good health A team of scientists has documented what we knew all along: Golf is good for you when you walk. Several studies have identified 10,000 steps as a daily goal for general good health. But just how many steps do you take in a normal round of golf?

Studying 42 healthy volunteers (12 men and 30 women, aged 30 to 80 years) who played 18 holes on each of three municipal golf courses while wearing a pedometer, the Mayo Clinic researchers found that on average each golfer took about 12,000 steps per 18-hole round of golf.

And the handicap didn’t make any difference.

The doctors were interested in golf because with 26 million players, golf is a

A few new rules would speed play

popular and enjoyable way to exercise and a great way to entice people to actually take 10,000 steps a day — the gold standard for a healthy lifestyle. Increasing the physical activity of the U.S. population has become a focus in the fight against obesity, diabetes, cancer and stroke, so more is on the table than just an enjoyable round of golf.

The study concludes: “Despite the observation that previous research has questioned the intensity of golf in the context of physical exercise, our data clearly indicate that golf participation can contribute considerably to an overall daily physical activity plan.”

“I wish the USGA had the guts to outlaw them. … We should not be able to putt with those things. We shouldn’t be able to putt with anything attached to our bodies. Why they’re so gutless, I don’t know.”

Ironmen To Finally Make Home Debut, Shake Roster Up night’s deadline at midnight to finalize a 23-man roster.

The Ironmen traded for Jake Pollock from the Kenai River Brown Bears. Daikawa said the Bloomington, Minn. native needed a new change. The forward figures to immediately help the offense as he had a goal and an assist in just two games for Kenai River.

Jamestown also pulled the trigger on trading assistant captain Drew Slaton to the St. Louis Bandits in return getting forward Bryan Watt and defenseman Mark Esshaki.

Watt also has a goal and an assist this season, coming in six games for the Bandits.

“Are these guys going to be the saviors?,” Daikawa asked.

“No. But they’re going to help.

Change is a good thing right now.

“We’re trying to get better everyday and hopefully this is something that gets us motivated again.”

Slaton scored two goals and had three assists in nine games.

By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

After another tough weekend trip, you can be sure the Jamestown Ironmen are ecstatic about getting a chance to play in front of their own fans.

It’s been 28 days, 10 games, five different cities and a whole lot of miles, but the Ironmen will finally open up their home portion of the 2011-12 season — their inaugural season — Friday night against Port Huron at 7:05 p.m.

“We’ve been on the road for five weeks,” head coach Dan Daikawa said. “So it will be refreshing to wake up Friday in our own beds.”

After winning their first two games, the Ironmen have now lost eight in a row and have scored just five goals in that stretch, never getting more than one. With that offensive outage, Daikawa has been busy trying to make moves to bolster his lineup and he did just that before Monday

the same thing this weekend.”

One thing is for sure, the long wait is almost over.

It’s been a long few months for the Ironmen and Daikawa.

The team has had a whirlwind of a time getting everything together and spreading the word about the North American Hockey League. That will all commence Friday with what should be a very special night at the Jamestown Savings Bank Ice Arena.

Guests will include County Executive Greg Edwards, Mayor Teresi and a former Miss America will sing the national anthem.

Celebrities aside, Daikawa said he knows a bunch of college scouts will also be in the building check out the arena and the players of both teams.

“We’re excited to play in front of our own fans,” Daikawa said. “We want to get the word out and we think the support for us will be huge.

“We want to show everyone what the NAHL is about and just how good of hockey it is.”

To get down to the maximum roster size, Jamestown had to make some more difficult moves. They released defenseman Thayer Universal, who had 0 goals and one assists in nine games and a move Daikawa had a tough time with.

“We had to get down to 23 players and by looking at the depth chart, that’s where we had to go,” Daikawa said.

The Ironmen will have revenge on their minds as they break in the new arena against a team that just beat them 9-0 last Saturday night.

That was after a 4-1 defeat against Michigan the night before. It’s been a brutally tough stretch for the Ironmen who have spent the last three weekends away from home getting beat night in and night out and having to drive to another city the night after.

“We’ve been playing in everyone’s home opener,” Daikawa said. “It was Chicago’s before and recently it’s been Michigan’s, Kalamazoo’s and Port Huron’s. They fed off their fans and we’re hoping to do

Sabres Prepare For European `Working Vacation'

By John Wawrow Associated Press

Before anyone gets any funny ideas, Buffalo Sabres coach Lindy Ruff wants to be clear on how he's approaching the team jetting off to Europe to open its season next week.

“Don't call it a vacation,'' Ruff said.

While there will be time for the Sabres to play tourist during an eight-day, three-city journey, Ruff has spent the past few days emphasizing that this is also a business trip.

“It should be a good trip for us, but we have a lot of work to do,'' he said.

The cross-Atlantic journey starts Saturday, a day after the Sabres close their NHL preseason at Washington.

After a brief stop home, the Sabres will fly to Mannheim, Germany, where they will play an exhibition game against the city's pro team Adler on Tuesday. Then it's off to Helsinki, Finland, where Buffalo

will open the season against Anaheim on Oct. 7, followed by a game against Los Angeles in Berlin a day later.

Joined by the New York Rangers, the Sabres are one of four NHL teams competing in Europe as part of the league's bid to expand its brand.

The Sabres are suddenly regarded as one of the NHL's up-and-coming teams following an offseason transformation.

Buffalo added three highprofile players, defenseman Robyn Regehr and Christian Ehrhoff and forward Ville Leino, to improve a Ryan Miller-led team that's not made it out of the first round of the playoffs in each of the past two seasons.

The expectations are high in Buffalo, and Sabres players need no reminder of how important it is to get off to a fast start after what happened last year. Buf-

falo went 3-9-2 in stumbling out of the gate and required a 29-11-6 second-half surge to clinch a playoff berth on the final weekend of the season.

Players are well aware of what's on the line, and yet eagerly looking forward to what should be a unique experience. That's particularly true among Buffalo's two Germanborn players, Ehrhoff and forward Jochen Hecht.

“It's a onein-a-lifetime opportunity,'' said Ehrhoff, who is from the western German city of Moers. He didn't know about the Sabres playing games in Germany until after he signed 10-year, $40 million contract in June.

“This was definitely a great bonus,'' he added, noting he'll have numerous members of his family and friends attending both games in Germany.

Hecht is excited to make the

trip, too, though a head injury will prevent him from playing in his hometown of Mannheim, and against the team he broke in with as a professional. Hecht only resumed skating with the team Friday since being hurt last week after colliding with teammate Shaone Morrisonn in practice.

Ruff has already ruled out Hecht from playing Tuesday.

The Sabres total six European players, including Leino, who is from Finland, and Austrianborn forward Thomas Vanek.

The U.S.-born Miller is looking forward to the trip, too, having previously traveled to Europe, including Helsinki.

“It's a good opportunity to go as a group and do something new and exciting,'' said Miller, whose only disappointment is not having more time to spend in Berlin. “I think you have to approach it as just another two NHL games in a way, but enjoy the overall experience. Just take it as a lesson of what you should be doing every night: Enjoying it.''

Pucktoberfest Will Help Ring In 2011-12 Season Contributed Article Buffalo Sabres PR

The Buffalo Sabres announced they will be hosting Pucktoberfest on Saturday, Oct. 8. Fans are invited to First Niagara Center to enjoy a plaza party with European flair and watch the team take on Los Angeles in Berlin on the HD video board in the arena. The event will give fans a chance to watch the team as it plays in Europe to open the 2011-12 regular season.

The festivities begin at 11:30 a.m. in the plaza outside First Niagara Center as the Auslanders, Buffalo’s premier German band, take the stage to perform traditional authentic German music as well as popular cover songs.

Dancing to the Bavarian

Cowboys Suffer Biggest Collapse, Fall 34-30 To Surprising 4-0 Lions

By Stephen Hawkins Associated Press

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Tony Romo put the Dallas Cowboys ahead by 24 points with his third touchdown pass right after halftime. That lead wasn't enough after he followed that with three interceptions.

Two of the picks were returned for touchdowns, and the third set up Detroit's game-winning score with 1:39 left as the Cowboys blew their largest lead ever to lose, 34-30 to the undefeated Lions on Sunday.

“It hurts,'' Romo said, not even talking about the stillsore ribs that forced to him take another pregame injection. “We were obviously in a position to win this game. ... It doesn't feel good right now.''

Especially knowing the Cowboys (2-2) are going into their bye week and won't play again for two weeks.

“It's devastating,'' linebacker Sean Lee said.

The Cowboys had won two in a row since a season-opening loss at the New York Jets when Romo had an interception and a fumble at the 3 as Dallas blew a 14-point fourth-quarter lead for the first time in franchise history.

A week after that, Romo threw for 201 yards in the fourth quarter and overtime of a win at San Francisco despite suffering a fractured rib and punctured lung early in the game.

They Cowboys were coming off a win over NFC East rival Washington six days earlier.

“I view the success we have, I view what he does well and I put the mistakes right in with what he does well and don't in any way get discouraged about our future with Tony,'' owner Jerry Jones said. “There's no issue about faith in Romo, any place in this organization, period. ... If you're going to try to make plays, then you've

got a chance to have some bad plays. But however we go, we'll go with Tony. As Tony goes, we'll go.''

The Cowboys led 27-3 after Romo hit Jason Witten for a 1-yard touchdown only 21/2 minutes into the second half.

Then came the two interceptions in a span of three throws. Bobby Carpenter, the former first-round pick by the Cowboys and one of Romo's good friends, returned the first one 35 yards for a touchdown and Chris Houston took another one back 56 yards for a 27-17 score.

Jason Hanson kicked a 51yard field goal to get Detroit within 30-27 soon after Cowboys coach Jason Garrett declined a penalty that would've pushed the Lions back 10 yards, but given them an extra down.

On the first snap after Hanson's second field goal in his 299th career game, Romo threw while trying to avoid pressure and came up short to Witten. Stephen Tulloch intercepted, setting up the Lions at the 40.

“I just didn't get enough on

the throw. ... I thought it was going to be a big play for us, honestly,'' Romo said. “It's disappointing because I thought he was coming open past all the linebackers and there's no safety help to that side. I wish I could have that throw back and just throw it further.''

Instead, Dallas-born Matthew Stafford led the Lions on a seven-play drive that ended with his second touchdown to Calvin Johnson, a 2-yarder with 1:39 left.

This was a bizarre way for the Cowboys to end an NFL-record streak of nine straight games decided by a field goal or less.

The final play was wacky, too, with Felix Jones catching a short pass with no one around him on fourth-and-20, and then running out of bounds after only gaining 8 yards.

While Stafford has the Lions off to their first 4-0 start since 1980, and they have won an NFL-best eight in a row, Romo and the Cowboys have another bitter loss.

“Nobody's lost faith in Romo,'' said safety Gerald Sensabaugh, who was knocked out of the game with a concussion in the third quarter.

“We believe in him. He's our guy and we'll fight through it,'' Witten said. “We just need to eliminate this roller coaster of a ride, and that's the next step for us.''

Dallas' previous biggest blown lead was 21 against Washington on Nov. 28, 1965, when the Cowboys led 21-0 in the second quarter on the way to a 34-31 loss.

“We must and we will look ahead,'' Jerry Jones said.

“We'll take our bye, get well and come back and try to do something very special.''

Stafford had dozens of relatives and friends in the crowd, including his high school coach.

His first pass to Johnson was intercepted, leading to Dallas' first touchdown and the defense was constantly in his face. He had a tough first half, but finished 21 of 43 for 240 yards and did a better job of finding Johnson after halftime. The game-winner came against tight coverage on a play when the Cowboys had 12 defenders on the field.

Johnson caught eight passes for 96 yards, and tied Cris Carter's NFL record of catching two TDs in four straight games.

Romo was 34 of 47 for 331 yards, with three touchdowns.

Dez Bryant caught two TDs before Johnson even had a single grab, and Laurent Robinson had seven catches for 116 yards.

Romo was on a roll of completing 13 of 14 passes, the only incompletion a clockstopping spike, when Carpenter made a leaping interception and a weaving 35-yard return.

“I know he's going to get beaten up by (the media) this week,'' Carpenter said of Romo. “He's the same quarterback he was two weeks ago when he was the hero.

He's a tremendous player and a top-five quarterback, in my opinion.''

Luck In Charge: Stanford QB Calling Plays

By Antonio Gonzalez Associated Press

that's going to play an advantage. I think that's why a lot of guys come to Stanford. To be challenged both academically and athletically. It's fun to be in that offense.''

The play that could pad Luck's Heisman Trophy resume more than any other so far didn't even come at quarterback.

Early in the first quarter, Luck handed the ball off to Tyler Gaffney and sprinted out to the right side between the cornerbacks and safeties. Gaffney ran left and flipped the ball to Terrell on a reverse, and the receiver lobbed a pass to Luck along the far sideline.

Luck made a one-handed catch and tiptoed the sideline with his left foot for a 13yard reception that officials initially ruled incomplete.

After a review, Luck had only the second reception of his career and first since a loss at Arizona on Oct. 17, 2009.

“It was pretty unbelievable,'' said tight end Coby Fleener, who had a one-handed snag himself among his two touchdown receptions.

Luck also had some motivation.

Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice delivered the Friday night pep talk to Stanford players. She talked about keeping things moving, about avoiding mistakes and moving forward.

Apparently the message resonated with Luck.

Stanford also showed off a wildcat formation with Gaffney and other new formations as part of an offensive innovation and imagination that might only be the beginning of the playbook's possibilities.

“When you've got a great player, don't hold him back,'' Shaw said, crediting the Indianapolis Colts' former offensive coordinator Tom Moore for the quote. “We're trying to let him go.''

STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — Andrew Luck has been doing things no other quarterback in the country has for most of the last two years. Now he's taking on responsibilities most can only imagine.

For the first time in his career, Luck called his own plays during stretches of No. 7 Stanford's 45-19 victory over UCLA on Saturday night without any input from coaches. No script. No questions. Just Luck.

“We put the formation out there and let Andrew call the play,'' new coach David Shaw said. “It's 100 percent up to him to get us in the right play.

We feel we have a phenomenal quarterback. I don't know if there are too many college quarterbacks that can truly call the game. It's not coming from the sideline. It's coming from him on the field.”

That could be a scary thought for opposing defenses.

The Cardinal (4-0, 2-0 Pac-12) unleashed the new hurry-up offense with vengeance against UCLA, a game Shaw said he had been plotting to start the scheme all summer. Luck even split out to receiver on several occasions as a decoy — making an acrobatic one-handed catch from receiver Drew Terrell on one play starting behind center — and showed he can do more than just play quarterback.

Call him Coach Luck.

“His plays were a little bit better than mine,'' Shaw said.

The new responsibilities are rare for a college quarterback or even in the NFL, where Peyton Manning, the player whom Luck is often compared, has mastered the skill.

Former coach Jim Harbaugh had talked about letting Luck loose offensively last year, although even he never let the strong-armed and fleet-footed quarterback take his role.

And Luck did it his “There is an insatiable hunger first time to near out there for good sporting perfection. events, and the Atlantic 10's The Heisman mission is to make our men's Trophy runner-up last basketball championship one of the premier men's basketball season threw for 227 yards and championships,'' McGlade said. three touchdowns and had the Cardinal in cruise control A-10 teams also could play against the Bruins, minus a regular-season nonconference pair of stalled drives in the games in the arena.

Atlantic 10: High Hopes For Brooklyn Hoops Tourney Contributed Article Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) — Rhode Island coach Jim Baron remembers sneaking into college basketball games at Madison Square Garden as a kid growing up in Brooklyn.

Baron's Rams and their Atlantic 10 brethren will now star in what they hope will be the latest installment of big-time hoops in New York City. The conference formally announced Wednesday that its men's basketball tournament would move to the Barclays Center, the new Brooklyn home of the NBA's Nets.

The five-year deal starts in 2013.

“I just think it's going to be a rebirth of college basketball in New York,'' said Fordham

coach Tom Pecora, who was born in the borough.

The Atlantic 10 has earned three bids to the NCAA tournament and sent a team to the round of 16 for the last four years. But attendance at its conference tourney hasn't always matched the national success over the years of its 14 members, from Xavier to Massachusetts, Saint Joseph's to Temple.

Last season's final between Richmond and Dayton at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J. — the event's home for going on six years — drew an announced crowd of 5,602 in a facility that holds 10,500.

The Barclays Center seats about 18,000.

“It gives us the opportunity to come into a brand-new facility that has all the amenities that sports fans expect,'' Commis-

sioner Bernadette McGlade said. “Bringing it into the New York market and into Brooklyn, with the density of population and the density of our Atlantic 10 alumni base, is certainly going to put everything in place to really catapult this championship to the next level.

“The talent is there; the games have been there. Now we have to be able to expose it and brand it better.''

McGlade isn't concerned about the tournament going on at the same time as the Big East tourney in the Garden. Typically the Big East final is on Saturday night and the A-10 championship game on Sunday afternoon. In fact, she believes the simultaneous events will only stoke the interest for all college basketball in the city.

three-game stretch: at No. 14 Nebraska on Saturday, at No. 19 Illinois the week after and home for No. 4 Wisconsin after an off week.

The Buckeyes haven't missed the postseason since 1999, haven't finished below .500 since 1988 when they went 4-6-1 in John Cooper's first year as coach, and haven't lost four straight games since 1943. To say those things won't happen this season is to indulge in wishful thinking and hoping for the best.

Ohio State ranks 108th in the nation in total offense and 110th in passing. Without Pryor, the Buckeyes simply have nobody prepared to be a starting quarterback for a big-

time team.

No grand plan at Ohio State had senior quarterback Joe Bauserman starting this season. Braxton Miller was not supposed to be leading the team as a freshman. But that's what coach Luke Fickell has been left with.

Of course, the grand plan also never had Fickell running the team, at least not so soon.

Fickell was handed this mess when Jim Tressel was ousted for covering up the violations that got Pryor and company suspended.

A small bit of good news for the Buckeyes comes this week when the other players who were suspended with Pryor be-

Troubled Ohio State On Verge Of Collapse

By Ralph D. Russo Associated Press

In a few weeks, it is likely that the only thing left to talk about concerning Ohio State is whether Urban Meyer will be the Buckeyes' next coach.

What began in December with the NCAA suspending Terrelle Pryor and four other Buckeyes for swapping championship rings, trophies and other memorabilia for tattoos has left one of the elite programs in college football poised to have its worst season in 23 years.

The Buckeyes are 3-2 after an ugly 10-7 loss at home against Michigan State on Saturday.

Next up is a treacherous

come eligible to play in Lincoln.

The additions of receiver DeVier Posey, running back Dan Herron and tackle Mike Adams should provide a boost, but it might already be too late.

The mix in Columbus is volatile. Players normally accustomed to competing for Big Ten titles and BCS bids could quickly be relegated to vying for a trip to Detroit for the bowl season. Will talented seniors such as Posey and Adams already be thinking more about their draft stock than beating the Illini?

With Fickell and the rest of the coaching staff not guaranteed a job beyond this season, do underclassmen tune out

coaches they figure won't be around next year?

To say the Buckeyes seem to be on their way to getting what they deserve isn't quite right.

Surely there are players on that roster and coaches on that staff who deserve better than a fivewin season. No doubt there are many who could be paying from crimes they did not commit while Pryor and Tressel collect NFL paychecks.

And there just might be enough talent in Columbus to prevent the collapse that appears to be inevitable.

“This team has some great players. I know some of these guys are doing the best job they can to step up,'' center

Mike Brewster said. “I know Joe came in and did a good job at the end of the game and I know Braxton's doing the best he can. It was a hard day, but you've got to keep fighting.''

Maybe Brewster, a senior, is one of those guys who deserves better.

But for leaders such as Athletic Director Gene Smith and University President Gordon Gee, who allowed a star coach and star players to believe they could skirt the rules, and all those boosters, supporters and fans so blinded by loyalty that they actually believe the Buckeyes have been victimized, this season is exactly what they had coming.

The youngster's strong finish ended Cincinnati's streak of 10 straight losses against Buffalo since the 1988 AFC championship game.

The Bills got off to that 3-0 start by pulling off historic comebacks, rallying from deficits of 18 against Oakland and 21 points

against New England in the past two games.

No team in NFL history had such back-toback comebacks.

This time, it came down to holding a lead.

They couldn't do it.

Bills Next Test Is Showing They Can Bounce Back

By John Wawrow Associated Press

As far-fetched as it might have sounded, quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick formally bid farewell to the Buffalo Bills’ shot at a 16-win season.

“We were hoping to go 16-0,” Fitzpatrick said Monday. “But, obviously, not too many teams do that.”

In the big picture, a 3-1 start isn’t too bad either.

Though perfect no longer following a 23-20 loss at Cincinnati on Sunday, the Bills’ objective is unchanged. If this season is about a no-name group of Bills players proving they are deserving of respect, then the next test comes in showing they’re capable of bouncing back from adversity.

“We’ll be mad about the game for a little bit longer and move on from there,” Fitzpatrick uck said. “And we’re doing whatever we can right now to prepare in trying to get to 4-1.”

ing a stunning 34-31 win over New England a week earlier, the Bills got a lesson in what it’s like to be on the other side.

They squandered a 14-point, second-half lead to the Bengals, who scored 10 points in the final 4:09.

“It was definitely one that got away from us. Everybody in this locker room is frustrated,” receiver Stevie Johnson said.

“We know we’re a better team than we showed out there.”

It was an uncharacteristic loss for a Bills team that had raised attention around the NFL for its 3-0 start. And the loss to the Bengals was the type of performance reminiscent of Buffalo’s inconsistencies as part of a 4-12 finish last year.

The high-tempo offense sputtered Sunday. Buffalo was limited to 13 points on offense — the other touchdown came on safety Bryan Scott(notes) 43-year interception return.

The Bills had season lows in total yards (273), first-downs (12) and only crossed midfield three times.

That’s a significant dropoff for a unit that had scored a league-leading 113 points through the first three weeks.

And the Bills’ revamped defense looked more like the porous unit that couldn’t stop the run last season.

Buffalo allowed a season-

worst 171 yards rushing and couldn’t get off the field in the second half. The Bengals scored 20 points on four of their final five possessions, and capped the win on Mike Nugent’s(notes) 43-yard field goal as time ran out.

After allowing 458 yards offense to Cincinnati, the Bills have now allowed 450 yards or more in each of their past three games. According to STATS LLC, the only other time the Bills allowed 450 yards in three straight games was in November 1975.

“It’s concerning,” coach Chan Gailey said. “You can’t give up those kind of yards on a consistent basis and expect to win.”

It’s even more of a concern, because the Bills defense was supposed to be improved this year. Aside from adding veteran linebackers Shawne Merriman and Nick Barnett, the Bills hoped to plug a big hole along the line by drafting defensive tackle Marcell Dareus with the No. 3 pick.

“It’s disappointing but not discouraging by any means,” safety George Wilson said.

“We saw the plays we left out there on the field, whether it was giving up big plays, a few penalties, missed tackles.

Everything we did yesterday was self-inflicted.”

Rather than getting off to their first 4-0 start since 2008 and maintaining their early one-game edge in the AFC East race, the Bills now find themselves tied with New England.

“We took a step back,” receiver David Nelson said, before looking ahead to playing the Eagles. “This is an opportunity for us to prove who we say we are.”

first half. The second-round draft pick was only 7 of 20 for 116 yards with two sacks and an interception that safety Bryan Scott returned 43 yards for a touchdown. His passer rating was a minuscule 15.8 in the opening half.

The rookie finally got going with a 17-yard touchdown pass to Jermaine Gresham, the Bengals' first touchdown in seven quarters.

His draw play tied it, and he scrambled to set up the winning kick the next time Cincinnati got the ball.

On third-and-3 from the Cincinnati 43, he ran away from the rush and dived out of bounds, stretching the ball as far ahead as he could.

It was marked a few inches short of the first down. After a review, the ball was moved about a foot forward, giving the Bengals a first down with 45 seconds left.

Brian Leonard caught a 15-yard pass and ran 14 yards to the Buffalo 25, setting up the winning kick. Dalton finished 18 of 36 for 298 yards. Cedric Benson ran 19 times for 104 yards.

Coming off an emotional win over New England, the Bills were flat on offense and never got moving. They'd scored at least 30 points in each of the first three games, but managed only Scott's touchdown return, Jackson's 2-yard run and a pair of field goals.

“Even when we came in at halftime, we were like, 'Guys, don't let up. We have to come out in the second half still swinging,''' Scott said. “We know what it feels like to be on the other side of things.''

Last year, the Bills came to Paul Brown Stadium and pulled off a comeback that got them going, rallying behind Fitzpatrick for a 49-31 win after trailing 31-14 at halftime.

Fitzpatrick couldn't make a big play in the second half on Sunday, finishing 20 of 34 for 199 yards.

Condidorio, Defense Continue To Roll

Contributed Article

Fredonia State Sports Information

Reilly Condidorio scored three more goals and the Fredonia State defense posted its third straight shutout Saturday in a 3-0 SUNYAC home win over Buffalo State.

Condidorio scored all three goals in the first half, her second hattrick of the week.

She also had three goals last Tuesday in a 5-0 victory over Westminster.

Meanwhile, sophomore goalkeeper Kayleigh Forger made six saves while earning her second shutout of the season. She and junior Meaghan Meszaros have held opponents scoreless for three straight games and all but 3:20 of a fourth game — a scoreless streak of 356 minutes and 40 seconds.

It was also the third straight win by the Blue Devils. They improved to 5-5 overall and 2-1 in the SUNYAC. Buffalo State fell to 4-5-1 overall and 0-2-1 in the conference.

All three of Condidorio's goals came by way of teammate's passes.

Ortiz went a perfect 3-0, and was not challenged all that much as he won his three matches, 8-3; 8-4; 8-0, respectively. For Haskell, the freshman was also perfect as he claimed two singles wins to emerge as the flight winner.

While the Bonnies claimed four of the six singles flights, the club also claimed two of the three doubles flights, posting an overall record of 8-1 during the course of the weekend in doubles action.

In the "A Flight," Fanshel and Guevara partnered up for a perfect 3-0 weekend, while junior Oscar Yanez and Miguel Suarez duplicated that finish with a perfect weekend of their own to claim the "B Doubles" crown. In the "C Flight," Ortiz and Haskell posted a 2-1 record.

After Kaitlin Krisko's header over the crossbar in the 13th minute and Tori Burchett's on-target volley in the 57th nearly found the back of the net, SBU continued to create scoring chances into each of the 10-minute overtime periods.

Junior Black Belt Awarded At Karate Connection

Norman Yonkers’ Karate Connection

Jasmine Mills, a 14 year old from Fredonia, has been awarded her Junior Black Belt from Norman Yonkers’ Karate Connection MMA in Fredonia.

Jasmine’s test was an intense two hours of physical fitness, self-defense, sparring, grappling, weapons, board breaking, Japanese language and history.

Jasmine began her training at The Karate Connection when she was 7 years old. She was a member of SWAT (super winning attitude team) and is now a STORM (super team of role models) Team and Black Belt Club member.

She used her martial arts training as a compliment to her school, family, and social life. She made sure, that no matter what other activities

grade at Fredonia Central School where she is involved in the string orchestra, musicals and is a level 6 in NYSMMA. She plans on continuing her training with The Karate Connection so she can achieve the adult rank of Black Belt.

The Karate Connection does not promise a promotion to any student in exchange for them attending classes for a certain length of time. Each student progresses at their own pace and promotes when they are ready as individuals.

Given this way of promoting, each student must set his or her own goals and work hard to achieve them; they are not simply awarded a belt for “time served.”

Jasmine is a fine example of what can be achieved through effort, desire and practice. We are proud of her accomplishments inside and outside of our school.

Keep on truckin’

2011 CHASE CONTENDERS Points standings, race results from Sunday’s AAA 400 at Dover International Speedway 1. Kevin Harvick 2,122 (finished 10th) He didn’t have the fastest car at Dover, but he showed that consistency pays off. He’s finished second, 12th and 10th in the three Chase races and still leads the standings. “It’s just a matter of keeping yourself in it until you get to the last couple of races, and [by then], hopefully you’ve eliminated most of the other guys in the Chase,” he said.

2. Carl Edwards 2,122 (finished third) He had the fastest car, but a penalty for speeding on pit road put him a lap down in mid-race. He battled back, caught the caution flags just right, and finished third. “As frustrated as I am with myself for messing that up, I’m really, really grateful for the gift that was given to us with that caution,” he said.

3. Tony Stewart -9 (finished 25th) After winning the first two Chase races, he had the worst finish of the 12 Chase drivers at Dover.But he wasn’t going to let one poor showing ruin his championship bid: “Well, we’ve got seven weeks to worry about it, so we’ll see.”

4. Kurt Busch -9 (finished first) He beat his chief nemesis Jimmie Johnson on two late-race restarts to take the win. “I’ve got to thank … Steve Addington for the right changes, the right time, the right sequence of two tires versus four,” Busch said. “He was in the zone.”

5. Jimmie Johnson -13 (finished second) Just as some people in NASCAR were about to write him off as a title contender, the five-time and defending champion bounced back with a strong finish and moved back into the thick of the points battle. “We’ll just keep fighting hard,” he said.

Hornaday extends record; Says Dillon: ‘Old man whipped my tail’

W

hile most NASCAR eyes were on Dover International Speedway and the third race of the Chase last weekend, over at Kentucky Speedway Ron Hornaday Jr. scored a Camping World Truck Series victory that likely will be remembered long after folks forget what happened at Dover.

Hornaday, at age 53, beat 21-year-old Austin Dillon to score his record-extending 50th career truck victory. He also extended his series records for most top-five (143) and top10 (205) finishes, and pushed his record for truck wins past age 50 to 15.

Hornaday got his first truck victory at Tucson Raceway Park back on April 8, 1995, in his second start in the then-new series. At that time Dillon, now the series points leader, was just five years old.

On Saturday, Dillon was Hornaday’s chief rival and was closing on him as the laps wound down.

“It will mean a lot when I sit on the front porch in the rocking chair with my grandkids and I can tell them that I won 50 races,” Hornaday said. “Austin is an up-and-coming star, and at age 53, I beat him.”

Dillon said Hornaday, who will be looking for a new ride at the end of this season as his Kevin Harvick Inc. team is shutting down, still has some gas in his driving tank.

“The old man whipped my tail,” Dillon said.

“I gave it everything I had on those last laps.”

Hornaday’s been hanging in there with young drivers since the truck series started.

He won the pole for the circuit’s first race, at Phoenix at age 37, and went on to win six races that year. The next season he won four

He ran trucks through the 1999 season, winning 26 races and two titles, before his team owner Dale Earnhardt moved him to the series now known as Nationwide. He won twice and finished fifth in points in 2000. He won two races driving for Richard Childress, one each in 2003 and 2004, but he was 46 years old, and many thought his career was coming to a close.

Then along came fellow Californian Kevin Harvick, who hired Hornaday to drive for his then-fledgling truck team.

Hornaday showed that he was far from over the hill as he went on to win two more championships and 24 victories and counting.

But Hornaday said in a recent interview with reporters from SPEED TV that his career isn’t the only thing that Harvick saved for him. Back in 2008, Hornaday’s health was declining and it was Harvick who stayed after him to get appropriate medical care, something many race drivers tend to avoid like a spinning race car in front of them on the track.

“He’s definitely helped my career out by not only giving me good equipment but it goes back to my thyroid deal,” Hornaday said. “I went to every doctor I’ve ever known and finally got up there with Kevin and he called his doctor up and got [friend and fellow Harvick employee] Rick Carelli to take me down there and they found Graves’ disease.

“We were going to put [treatment] off until the end of the season. The doc says, ‘You can’t put it off more than a month because you won’t be here,’ so I owe my life to Kevin and DeLana [Harvick] and Rick Carelli.

“Everything has been good ever since with my health, and I owe that to them, too. A lot of people don’t know that.”

Kevin Harvick recently told reporters that his driver has done things in the truck series that have earned him a spot among NASCAR’s all-time great drivers.

“Ron has been the heart and soul of the Truck series,” he said. “Fifty wins is just one more incredible achievement in a career that I’m sure will one day land him in the NASCAR Hall of Fame.”

6. Brad Keselowski -14 (finished 20th) He overcame a setback caused by a broken power steering belt and salvaged a finish that keeps him in contention for the championship.Now he’s headed to Kansas Speedway, where he’s the Cup circuit’s most recent winner. “I’m certainly looking forward to that one,” he said.

7. Matt Kenseth -14 (finished fifth) His team elected to take four tires on the race’s final pit stop while most of his challengers took two, but he regained most of the positions he lost on pit road. “As good as everybody is these days ... it’s important to get a good finish every week,” he said.

8. Kyle Busch -15 (finished sixth) He didn’t have the speed he often does, but he maintained himself in the top 10 throughout the race. “We’re still in the thing, so you keep fighting and keep doing what you know how to do,” he said.

9. Jeff Gordon -19 (finished 12th) He overcame a poor qualifying effort but still didn’t get the result he was looking for. “We worked our way forward pretty quick from that 34th position ... but once we got up there I made some mistakes, and we just didn’t have it on the restarts,” he said.“We’ve just got to run better than that.”

10. Dale Earnhardt Jr. -34 (finished 24th) He had a loose sway bar at the start of the race and a loose wheel later on, ruining his chances for a strong finish. But he’s not giving up: “We are still alive, and we will keep racing as hard as we can.”

11. Ryan Newman -41 (finished 23rd) He and his team missed the setup from the start, and the final results reflected that. “We have to put this weekend behind us and move on,” he said.

“We’re a much better team than where we finished.”

12. Denny Hamlin -68 (finished 18th) Last year’s runner-up still can’t get untracked this year. He was fast for a while early on at Dover but faded as the race went on. “We kind of didn’t have that good of a car,” he said.

NUMERICALLY

Stenhouse in ‘champion mode’

NOTEBOOK

Johnson-Knauss team still works Among the bigger stories as the Sprint Cup Series moved to Dover International Speedway last week were whether Jimmie Johnson and his crew chief, Chad Knaus, had hit a rockier than usual spot in their relationship and whether the five-time champions were out of the running for a sixth-straight title.

Johnson and Knaus put those questions to rest with a strong second-place run at Dover, one that saw the two as Chad Knaus (NASCAR photo) courteous as could be on the radio during the race, something they didn’t do the week before at New Hampshire.

Johnson, in his regular press conference on Friday before the AAA 400 at Dover, said the terse words between him and Knaus were nothing new.

Johnson told Knaus at New Hampshire that Knaus’ comments that were meant to be motivational were annoying him instead.

“When you work with someone as long as we have, for over 10 years now, there are hot spots and buttons that can be pushed that send someone over the edge,” he said. “We know what took place last weekend, and [Knaus] knows at times I can be frustrated with his cheerleading. That is what I said on the radio. So, it’s nothing new to us …

“It wasn’t our finest moment [at New Hampshire], but, it is what we deal with. It’s been part of what we’ve been dealing with for 10 years.”

Ricky Stenhouse Jr., the Nationwide Series driver who made more headlines for wrecking in 2010 than for anything else, now is poised to take the Nationwide Series championship over two drivers with extensive Sprint Cup experience.

Stenhouse, who finished fifth at Dover, heads into this weekend’s race at Kansas Speedway with a 22-point lead over Elliott Sadler and a 49-point edge over Reed Sorenson.

Stenhouse’s team owner Jack Roush said his young driver is in championship mode, which means he’s taking fewer chances on the race track with just five races left to run.

“Ricky is not doing what he wants to do,” Roush said. “He wants to rub fenders and try to win these races right now, and if he made that effort every time he would be wrecked one time in four and, of course, that would be the end of his championship run.

“But he’s doing a great job ... He’s doing what he needs to be doing. It’s not much fun for him right now, but he’s maturing by leaps and bounds.”

Nationwide team may shutter With his primary sponsor, 5-Hour Energy, apparently headed to Michael Waltrip Racing and driver Clint Bowyer, Rusty Wallace could shut down his Nationwide Series race team until the sport’s sponsorship situation improves. Wallace told FoxSports that his main concern at present is finding a ride for his 24-year-old son Steven, who now drives for his father’s team.

The date for the 2011 event, the mid-winter, three-day Sprint Cup test session at Daytona International Speedway, has been set for Jan. 12-14. Included in the schedule will be Fan Fest sessions where fans can meet participating drivers.

Thursday, October 27 Woodsongs Coffeehouse Radio Hour

No Outlet: This group is led by one of the premier dobro players in the country, Kevin Maul.

He is a veteran of this scene, having been a semi-regular on the Garrison Keillor show, a member of Wanda Jackson’s band, a touring member of Robin and Linda Williams’ band for a decade, and an accompaniest with many other luminaries. Other members of No Outlet also play in Trey Anastasio’s band, David Bromberg’s band, etc. No Outlet will bring some fine Americana music to the Woodsongs stage.

John Latini: Having played his own brand of music for years in Michigan, John Latini is a notable figure in the Michigan area. He has a list of awards for songwriting and performing under his belt. John’s performance on the Woodsongs

stage last year brought a flood of kudos and we could not, in good conscience turn down this opportunity to bring him back.

Jeff Erickson: Jeff may be best known as the guitarist for 10,000 Maniacs. We will see,

though, that there is more to Jeff than the masterful and unique guitar work he brings to that band. Jeff is a songwriter, a song stylist, and a fine singer in his own right. Having led the interesting project, Last Stop Willoughby, Jeff showed that his depth of musicality deserves attention devoted exclusively to it. We will get a first-hand, privileged look at just that on the November Woodsongs show.

Cammy Enaharo: Cammy is a worthy ukulele player, a heartcapturing singer, and most of all, an original and deeply insightful songwriter. She writes touchingly and compellingly from the perspective of her youth; she is 20 years old. Her dedication to her craft is evident. Cammy’s recent summer break from college was spent attempting to support herself by busking on the street. She plays open mic nights, for friends, and anywhere she can find someone to listen. Woodsongs is proud to be able to showcase a young artist at this stage of her nascent career.

Jones 212 Bakery and Cafe

By Dusten Rader Entertainment Editor

For a real blast from the past stop by Jones 212 Bakery and Cafe. The baked goods offered there are sure to bring any pastry lover back. In addition to the delicious baked goods there are also entrees, soups and other cafe style items to enjoy.

The owner Sean Jones’ great grandfather Frank Sr. was the co-founder of Jones and Alquist bakery in 1907. Frank Sr. opened his first bakery on West 3rd Street. Two years later in 1909 he managed to buy out his partner and open Tasty Baking by Jones. The business flourished until 1973 when a fire resulted in moving the business to Pine Street across from the current location. It continued in operation until 2004 when it finally closed doors.

But, it wasn’t the end of the Jones’ baking legacy. Jones had grown up with the bakery as a huge part of his life and he decided he wanted to give his son Cyrus the same experience.

So, in 2009 he opened up shop at 212 Pine Street during what would have been the 100 year anniversary of the Jones’ family bakery tradition.

“I decided it was time to bring the bakery back,” said Jones. “I had just had my first son Cyrus and it was odd to think that he would never know what the bakery was. It was such a huge part of my entire family and I wanted to bring it back so that he would know what it was like.”

He brought with him all the knowledge of traditional baked good recipes that his family created over the years. Cus-

tomers can enjoy classics like Almond Bowties, Tarts and Pinwheels, Bear Claws, Puff Pastries, Danishes, Donuts and Muffins. He also twisted a few things like the addition of the Triple Chocolate Brownies. The original brownies were a traditional recipe including walnuts and chocolate icing. Jones’ new recipe is a fudge brownie with chocolate chips in it and topped with white chocolate.

He has also added new muffins like the Strawberry Pecan and cookies like the basil and walnut or Chipotle sesame seed.

Jones experience doesn’t stop with baked goods. He started working at the bakery when he was about 12 years old until he was about 21. From there he went out to start working at restaurants like the Town Club, Surf Club, Forte and La Fleur.

He also worked at the Jame-

stown Savings Bank Ice Arena as Events Coordinator and was in charge of food and drink.

“I wanted to bring back the bakery but I also wanted to incorporate what I’ve learned,” said Jones. “I wanted to combine both those passions to make it into something new for downtown. There are other places out there who are starting to offer similar things but I like to think we’re a step above.

We offer all our traditional baked goods but also a menu with entree style items.”

Each week Jones features a special entree. This week’s was a Thai Curry Shrimp and Mussels with cous cous. He has also done Pan Seared Scallops with curry cream, rice, asparagus and mandarin oranges; lamb chops; tuna steaks; Maine Mussels with mint rice, toasted coconut broth and red pepper chilli sauce; Seared Salmon Steak on top of a puff pastry and broccoli with balsamic glaze and blueberry cream sauce and much more.

He also does a soup of the week that comes with a homemade roll. Examples include: Creamy Pea with Mint; Sweet Corn and Roasted Red PepContinued on page 7

continued from page 6 per; Smokey Beef Minestrone; Chicken and Scallion with Rice; Cream of Curry Carrot; Apple with Cream Apple Slices and Chives; Cream of Sherry Mushroom and Shrimp with Shiitake mushrooms.

“I offer weekly specials on the entrees and soups so that people can come in when they want and not have to work on my schedule,” said Jones.

“Someone might not be able to come in one day so why not have it all week so everyone can make time to enjoy it.”

In addition to the many fine entrees offered he also creates unique salads. Some are offered as specials while others are always on the menu. Past specials include the Seared Duck Breast with mandarin orange honey dressing and a Four ounce Seared Mahi Mahi with red onion, cucumber, raspberry cream and toasted almonds with a sesame Teriyaki dressing.

Guests who just cant get enough of Jones’ can stop in every day for something of the regular menu. It changes every six months and is currently in the Fall and Winter season. Some favorites include the Honey Turkey Club with roasted red pepper cream, avocado, smoked bacon and spinach on sun dried tomato and basil bread; Pesto Chicken with candied pecans, red onion, portabella mushrooms and fresh goat cheese on a bed

of spring greens and balsamic dressing and a Bistro Tender with an eight ounce pan seared steak, baby red potatoes and green beans.

“All the dressings we make here,” said Jones. “No one else has these dressings. They aren’t recipes we looked up in a book. They are things we came up with. All the breads that our sandwiches come on are also homemade.”

Jones isn’t the only one working hard to create a place his family can be proud of. He treats all the employees as if they are members of the family. Lauren Johnson is one of his assistants who helps him every morning. Tony Maurino manages the front end with the help of Megan Felt and Danny Witherspoon is another of Jones’ Assistants.

“This isn’t the old shop across the street that had tons of employees and machinery,” said Jones. “Here it’s just me, my two hands and a mixer. It’s a lot more labor intensive but that’s a good thing because there is attention to detail.”

Interaction with customers is also an important factor at Jones’. “We like to talk, laugh and we try to get to know our customers,” he said. “Everyone who comes in here we treat with the utmost respect and love them all. Without them I’d be nothing so I appreciate everyone who takes the time to come in.”

Jones 212 Bakery and Cafe combines tradition with invention to create a dining experience that stands out. Over 100 years of family baking experience is ingrained into Jones.

Plus, he adds a mix of new styles to compliment an already tried and true method. Whip all these ingredients together and the customers of downtown Jamestown have a place where hunger becomes a thing of the past.

Jones 212 Bakery and Cafe is

located at 212 Pine Street in Jamestown and is open from 6

a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. For more information

Child Advocacy Program to Hold North County Fundraising Event

Contributed Article Jana McDermott

The Child Advocacy Program of Chautauqua County will be holding their first annual Chili Feast and Barn Dance at The Red House in Cassadaga in the beginning of October. Funds collected at the event will go to benefit CAP and the on-going awareness and services needed for children who are physically and sexually abused in the county.

The Chili Feast and Barn Dance is scheduled for October 9 at The Red House in Cassadaga from 6pm to 10pm.

The event was created to help CAP raise funds and awareness for their future location in Dunkirk. With new recording equipment, elevated calls and services needed in the northern part of the county, a new office is needed to operate more efficiently for the victims in question.

“We are again partnering with Catholic Charities with our north county office in Dunkirk, we are very fortunate to be able to keep cost to a minimum by sharing space so we’re trying to raise as much money as

possible to build awareness of our services to both respond to and prevent child abuse,” said Jana McDermott, Executive Director of the Child Advocacy Program. “The program provides vital services to child victims of abuse in this county.

It is important to have a north county office to remove the barriers to accessing services so there is less confusion during a very difficult time for families,” said McDermott.

The Chili Feast and Barn Dance is will feature a Contra Dance theme throughout the night with child and family friendly activities available the whole time. Contra Dancing is a form of partnered dancing involving various folk songs and dance types. Experience to participate is not required.

“We have so many generous donors and individuals helping to make this fundraiser a success,” said McDermott. “We’re going to have live music, a chili and bread bar sponsored by The Mustard Seed restaurant in South Dayton, fresh apple cider, mum and pumpkin sales, a Basket Drawing, desserts and the introduction of our CAP candle created

by Grape Country Candles of

Sheridan,” said McDermott.

The Chili Feast and Barn Dance will also feature historic tours of The Red House as well as educational information on coping and prevention of child abuse.

For more information on the Child Advocacy Program or to purchase tickets to attend for only $10 per adult, please call 716-3389844 or visit www.capjustice.org for more information.

The mission of the Child Advocacy Program is to provide a coordinated, multi-disciplinary approach to child victims of sexual and physical abuse. We provide a safe, child friendly place for interviews and support to child victims and their non-offending family members.

Looking ahead to October, we will be breaking with our recent routine and playing at Steener’s Pub in Greenhurst on the third and fourth Thursdays, October 20th and 27th. Given the demands on our time, musical and otherwise, it was optimistic to think we could stick to a specific schedule, month in and month out. If, like us, you lose track of whether we’ll be at Steener’s on any given Thursday, just give me a call at 716969-2563, or drop me a note at bill@drellow.com.

We’ve also been honored with an invitation to play at two regional events to be hosted by R.S.V.P. in October, honoring volunteers on the occasion of the organization’s 40th Anniversary. These events are not open to the public at large, but we are excited about playing our first gig at the Spire

Theater, which is housed in the beautiful First Congregational Church, a 19th Century Jamestown landmark. On the strength of one great meeting with the Spire’s highly creative and enthusiastic owner, Angelo Guiffre, I’m inclined to quote Bogie: This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Check it out here: http://www.spiretheater.org/ As always, thanks for coming out.

Movie Review: Abduction

Contributed Article Amber Rinehart

Star Rating: 2/5 Over the few dozens movie reviews I have written, I have noticed one trend. Good movies are difficult to write about. It’s hard to articulate what makes a film good. Sure I can say the story is intriguing and well acted or the cinematography is beautiful, but it is still hard to fully explain what is ‘good’.

Bad movies on the other hand are easy to write about. That being said, I think this is going

to be one of the easiest reviews I have written.

The best way to explain the film Abduction, starring Taylor Lautner, is that it is trying to be The Bourne Identity for teenaged girls. The plot starts out simply. Nathan, a young man living the perfect life, discovers a photo of himself on a website for missing children. After looking in the matter more deeply, he finds himself in a web of murder, lies and espionage. Accompanied by his love interest Karen, played by Lily Collins, he heads on a journey to find the truth and attempt to stay alive.

Overall, it sounds like a decent plot, but the primary flaw in the film is its complete lack of believability. Admittedly, films like this need not make sense.

Movies are meant to serve as an escape from reality and allow our imaginations to fly. In order for this to occur though, the film needs to permit the story to unfold in a somewhat natural way in order to allow the audience to submit to the fantasy. This film misses this in so many ways. I have never audibly groaned at ridiculous plot twists so many times in my life.

Even though I am being very harsh, I must give credit where credit is due. Even though Lautner’s acting ability rivals that of this laptop I am typing this on, his athleticism is amazing. The action scenes in

Abduction are actually really good. The sole reason for this is that Lautner performs all of his own stunts, which allows the camera to follow the action instead of cutting away to cover the face of a stunt double. These action and chase sequences are the only reason I would recommend this movie anybody.

So overall my view is this, if you want a really dumb movie with pretty good stunts and special effects then go ahead and see this film. If you want a movie that makes one ounce of sense, I would avoid it and rent The Bourne Identity or Salt instead.

Gravitations: Para-con 2011 in Jamestown

By Jason Sample Contributing Writer

Later this year more than a dozen groups and noted individuals who specialize in the paranormal will be descending on Chautauqua County for the first ever Jamestown Paranormal Convention. The event will take place in October with all proceeds going toward the fight against breast cancer.

Organized by the Jamestown Paranormal Investigators, ParaCon 2011 will have something for everyone, including presentations and guest speakers who specialize in ghosts, UFOs and even Bigfoot. But this event isn’t just for those who truly believe in the supernatural. According to JPI spokesman Mike Pollaro, skeptics, along with those who simply want to learn more about the paranormal, are also encouraged to attend.

I recently did an e-interview with Mike to get more details about the event, as well as find out what the JPI team has been working on in the past few months.

JS: I recently saw on Facebook that JPI was helping to organize the first ever Paranormal Convention. What day is it going to take place?

MP: Saturday, October 8, 2011 from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Jamestown Renaissance Center.

JS: Who will be participating?

MP: We’ve got a lot of different people and groups scheduled to appear. Our headline speaker is John Sobol, an author who’s appeared on the A&E “Paranormal State” TV show. Some of the groups include us (the Jamestown paranormal investigators), Special Paranormal Action Team (SPAT), Beyond Ghost, Beaver Ghosthunters, Resident Undead Paranormal team and many more ghosthunting groups. We’ve also got a Bigfoot group and a UFO group along with other special guest speakers.

JS: Are there other people who are helping you organize?

MP: Yes. (SPAT) is helping with this event. They are a group from Randolph.

JS: Is the public encouraged to attend?

MP: Yes we want the public to attend. The cost will only be $6 and proceeds will be donated to breast cancer awareness.

JS: What are some of the events that you are planning to have take place?

MP: We will be have guest speakers, 50/50 drawings, giveaways, raffles, and one-on-one time with paranormal investigators. We think some people will become believers after they see some of the evidence that these groups have collected.

JS: Interest in Paranormal Investigations has grown quite a bit in the past few years, thanks to shows like “Ghosthunters”.

How has it been locally in and around the Jamestown area?

MP: Within four months JPI has had six investigations. We also recently did an investigation in Dunkirk and two more investigations are also in the works for later this month. We are now setting up dates for this summer and fall as well so we encourage anyone interested in our services to contact us.

JS: How many members does JPI have?

MP: JPI currently has seven members. We also work with Special Paranormal Action Team (SPAT).

JS: Have you had done recent investigations? If so where and what did you find?

MP: We’ve investigated the Hotel Lenheart a few times.

Also the Lucille Ball Theatre and various homes here in the greater Jamestown area and northwestern Pennsylvania.

As I said we also recently did an investigation in Dunkirk so we pretty much cover a large geographic area.

JS: What do you tell people who are skeptical of paranormal investigation and criticize the things you are doing?

MP: As for skeptics, I only ask that they open up their mind and believe, because it’s real. I have been hit. I’ve been scratched. And, we have had things tossed at us. People believe in God so why not spirits?

Don’t take this the wrong way because I do believe in God, but I also believe in spirits. I don’t

like to call them “ghosts” because that seems like something you’d see on Scooby Doo, or Casper. Spirits are real people.

What we do is very dangerous because they can hurt you if they want to. Paranormal investigating is not a game.

JS: If someone wants an investigation, how do they go about contacting you?

MP: If someone needs help they can contact us at www.jpiteam. web.com. They can also find us on Facebook. If they don’t have a PC just call us at 716-4505272. For more information on Para-Con 2011, go online to www.jamestownparacon.webs. com.
