Make More Pink With Your Green

Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk this Sunday in Jamestown By Patricia Pihl Star Staﬀ Writer

The familiar pink light bulbs burn as a symbol of hope. School sports teams wear pink jerseys and socks. Products and packaging everywhere don the pink ribbon and color. While the rosy hue is traditionally associated with femininity, in October pink represents breast cancer awareness, and this year marks the 25th anniversary of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM). In recognition of NBCAM, the 2011 Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk takes place this Sunday, October 16 at Jamestown Community College with the theme “make more pink for your green.” More pink, according to the American Cancer Society, stands for the 2.5 million breast cancer survivors alive Participants take part in the ‘Making Strides Toward A Cure’ event.

A Story to Remember

Evening of Storytelling to Feature Geraldine Buckley Telling Comic True Tales Contributed Article 1891 Fredonia Opera House

Geraldine Buckley, one of the country’s finest storytellers, will present an evening of hilariously true tales at the 1891 Fredonia Opera House in a special Evening of Storytelling on Fri., Oct. 14, at 7:30 p.m. The event will be hosted by “Fredonia’s favorite Irishman,” Doug Manly, and will feature a post-performance reception. Buckley’s presentation is titled From the Convent to the Slammer! and features autobiographical stories from her past as she progressed from a young girl attending religious school to her job as a prison chaplain. With her trademark wit, warmth and humor, Buckley has been involved in storytelling, performance poetry and conducting creative workshops for more than 20 years in the U.S., Canada, England, Holland, South Africa and Spain. Through folk stories and tales from her own life, Buckley takes the audience on a magic carpet ride of adventure, laughter and insight that leaves listeners both entertained and moved. And she certainly has stories! In her eclectic past,

she has been, among other things, a minister in a large London church, a radio DJ, a television newsreader, an events director, a ghost writer, a food critic, a magazine editor and an

award-winning performance poet. Her most recent adventure was being the Protestant chaplain in the largest men’s prison in Maryland – the

Maryland Correctional Training Center – a medium security facility, where between counseling, preaching and bridging huge cultural divides, stories were her everyday currency! Buckley has always loved stories - listening to them, reading them, telling them. She believes stories are a gift. They have a wonderful way of transporting the listener into a different realm – a land of infinite possibilities. Heard at the right time, stories can pierce problems with wise solutions, allow despair to be dispersed by hope, dissipate fear with a dose of courage, and perhaps most important, scatter joy. She particularly loves telling true stories quivering with the laughter and lessons learned upon her odd and winding journey. “Often if I am in a tense situation or someone asks me a diﬃcult question, I will tell a short story before reacting or giving an answer. After all,” she says, “underneath we are all the same. We all long to be understood, to be loved, to be heard. A story can cut beneath cultural and intellectual facades

around me (yes, Mom, I’m talking about you). However, fall does hold one of my favorite ‘holidays’ of the year, that being Columbus Day. No, I don’t particularly enjoy celebrating the 15th century explorer, but rather the beauty of the weekend in the hills of Chautauqua and Cattaraugus County. Some of my fondest childhood memories took place on that long weekend in October. Every year, for as long as I can remember, my family has gone camping at Allegany State Park (ASP) for Columbus Day Weekend. When I was a child, I would make friends with the friendly Canadian kids who were down celebrating Thanksgiving in an RV. As I got older, I started to appreciate the break from the routine and mundane

Scott Wise Commentary While winter is definitely my favorite season, autumn is an extremely close second. Fall used to be my favorite, but I’ve developed a love for snow and cold in recent years that serves to only ‘heat up’ those

something to offer to our film and we wanted to capture it. We came to refer to that Saturday as ‘Golden Saturday,’ and that’s exactly what it was. The colors of the leaves were golden. The sunshine was golden, and the love that I felt for my aunt that day was golden. We had such a great time laughing, enjoying the scenery and letting freshlylicensed-me drive like a crazy man on the roads. We talked about doing it the next year and the year after as long as we could. December 27 of that year, though, would change everything. My aunt suffered a stroke, which left the right side of her body paralyzed. Through much physical therapy, she’s gotten to a place where she can be more independent now. To top it off,

Thursday and Friday were the usual; I set up my tent behind my parents RV and camped on my airbed with the dog by my side. That was the first (and as it turned out, only) year that ASP offered golf carts for campers to rent hourly or daily to drive around the park. As was usual, my aunt and uncle had joined us for the camping trip. My Aunt Sue and I have a special relationship, one that often revolved around craft shows and souvenirs. She decided that Saturday was a good day to rent a golf cart, and the two of us took that golf cart (and about ten disposable cameras) and went at it. Driving all around the park, we ran the battery dry taking pictures of anything we could get to. The leaves, the lakes, the creeks, the wildlife, the bike paths; everything had

while replacing it with the beauty and serenity that is New York State in fall. One particular year that comes to mind is one that holds a dear place in my heart. It was October (obviously) 2003. That September had been particularly chilly, so the leaves had begun to change early. Seeing ASP at ‘peak’ time is a coveted experience, and usually it happens a few weeks after Columbus Day. That year, though, it was different. We got to Allegany on a Thursday, and the temp was a comfortable 65. But, after pulling into the park and coming to Red House Lake, the perfectly colored leaves reflecting on the calm water took my breath away. It was truly something that looked like it came right off a ‘Country’ magazine cover.

the park stopped renting the golf carts that year, so even if we wanted to drive around it wouldn’t have been possible. We still go up each year, even if only for a night. Last year my wife, 8 months pregnant, and I slept in the back of our SUV on an air mattress on a 30-degree night. This year, my son experienced his first fall at Allegany. Each year offers new opportunities for great memories to be made, and each year; they are. I take nothing for granted with our family time spent at Allegany, cherishing each moment and each Columbus Day weekend as a blessing from God and looking forward to the next.

Columnist to Give Bob Lecture at Prendergast Library

Contributed Article James Prendergast Library

Connie Schultz will give the seventh annual Murray L. Bob Memorial Lecture at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 18, in the Fireplace Room at James Prendergast Library. Her presentation is free and open to the public. Ms. Schultz is a nationally syndicated columnist for Creators Syndicate, a regular essayist for Parade Magazine and a former columnist for The Plain Dealer in Cleveland. In 2005, she won the Pulitzer Prize for Commentary for columns judges praised for providing “a voice for the underdog and the underprivileged.” That year she also received the Scripps Howard National Journalism Award for Commentary and the National Headliner Award for Commentary. The speaker was a 2003 Pulitzer Prize finalist in feature writing for “The Burden of Innocence,” a series about a man who was imprisoned for 13 years for a rape he did not commit. The week after her series ran, the real rapist turned himself in after reading her stories. The series won the

Robert F. Kennedy Award for Social Justice Reporting, the National Headliner Award’s Best of Show and journalism awards from Harvard and Columbia universities. In 2004, Ms. Schultz won the Batten Medal, which honors “a body of journalistic work that reflects compassion, courage, humanity and a deep concern for the underdog.” She is also a fellow with the Vietnam Reporting Project. Her 2011 series, “Unfinished Business,” explored the long-term impact of Agent Orange in the United States and Vietnam. Recently, the series won the Associated Press Managing Editors Journalism Excellence Award in International Perspective. She is the author of two books published by Random House: “Life Happens – And Other Unavoidable Truths,” a collection of essays, and “…and His

Lovely Wife,” a memoir about her husband Sherrod Brown’s successful 2006 race for the U.S. Senate. Her essay, “What it Was Like,” is featured in a new book by Columbia University Press titled, “Second Read: Writers Look Back at Classic Works of Reportage.” The speaker and her husband have four grown children, and one grandson. The Murray L. Bob Memorial Fund was established to honor the longtime director of the Chautauqua-Cattaraugus Library System and James Prendergast Library. In keeping with his passion for reading and discussing ideas, it brings a scholar to the library each year to address a local audience on a significant topic. Previous Bob lectures have dealt with the war on terrorism, ethics of modern medicine, humanitarian crises, corporate subsidies, historians’ responsibilities in time of war and philosophy. For more information about the lecture series, call the library at 484-7135, Ext. 225. The library is located at 509 Cherry St., Jamestown.

Peace Pole Dedicated in City of Dunkirk Contributed Article The Dunkirk Fredonia Center for Peace and Justice

Mayor Richard Frey originally installed a peace pole in Dunkirk’s Memorial Park in September 2010, but removed it because of opposition by veterans’ organizations. The Common Council and the Center for Peace and Justice could not agree on a compromised site on public property. More than a year later on Saturday, September 24, 2011 the Dunkirk- Fredonia Center for Peace and Justice finally dedicated a peace pole in the City of Dunkirk. It placed the pole across from the Dunkirk Middle School on the corner of Fifth and Swan Streets at the residence of Deborah Washington. Joan Houck, a Peace and Justice Member, welcomed about fifty people to the ceremony, which high-

lighted International Peace Week. Rev. David Noves summarized the history of the Peace Pole Project, started in 1955 by the World Peace Society, dedicated to uniting people through the universal prayer inscribed on all poles, “May peace prevail on earth.” He also noted that Chautauqua County already had a number of peace poles, including those on the SUNY Fredonia Campus, St. John’s United Church of Christ in Dunkirk, the Greystone Nature Preserve, The Thrifty Reader Bookstore in Fredonia, and on the grounds at Lily Dale. Daniel O’Rourke read a statement from the Dalai Lama when the Dalai Lama received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989. The statement concluded with, “I pray for all of us, oppressor and friend, that together we succeed in building

a better world through human understanding and love.” Diane Clark of the Greystone Nature Preserve reflected

upon the impact of love on world peace. She quoted the psychologist Rollo May who said, “The opposite of

love is not hate; it is apathy.” Clark noted that the Center for Peace and Justice is not apathetic; it has persisted and today is finally planting this peace pole in the City of Dunkirk. Fredonia public school student Emma Deckard read several poems composed by elementary-aged pupils from around the country. Rev. Helen Sam read a number of scripture passages focusing on peace, and concluded by offering a prayer for universal peace. Rev. Rodney Houck noted that the four languages: English, Polish, Italian and Spanish inscribed on the pole represented the major ethnic groups in the area. He read a description of these groups from Robert Harris, City of Dunkirk Historian. Harris concluded his historical statement with, “Our community

is rich in cultural values and remains a real melting pot.” Kay Barlow and Bill Moran provided the music. At the end of the ceremony the two led all present in singing “Let There Be Peace on Earth.” Deborah Washington on whose property the pole was dedicated commented, “I am very pleased to have the peace pole on my property, and thank the Center for Peace Justice for this honor.” The Center for Peace and Justice aims to provide people in Dunkirk, Fredonia and the surrounding areas the opportunity to learn about and act constructively on a variety of issues, both local and global, related to peace, human rights and social justice.

As a safety precaution, equip

your vehicle with a winter driving kit that includes a fully-charged cellular phone for emergencies, flashlight with fresh batteries, small snow shovel and brush, traction mats, ice scraper, booster cables, blanket, flares or reflective triangle warning devices, heavy gloves, window washing solvent, and a first aid kit.

Recent “Chautauqua County Visit the Farm Day” a Major Success

Contributed Article CRCF

While many people have an idea of what goes on at many local dairy farms, it takes an event such as the recent “Chautauqua County Visit the Farm Day” to truly enlighten people to all that goes on at such a business. “Visit the Farm Day”, conducted by Cornell Cooperative Extension of Chautauqua County, provided an opportunity for nearly 1,000 people to tour Oak View Dairy, which is located off of Shadyside Road, Jamestown. Oak View Dairy owns 1,100 acres of land in the towns of Busti and Kiantone, and rents an additional 200 acres. The farm is home to a state-of-the-art milking parlor which was completed in 2010. Community Foundation Executive Director Randy Sweeney was able to tour the facility on Visit the Farm Day, and learned just

how advanced dairy farming has become. Cornell Cooperative Extension of Chautauqua County was able to secure a Field of Interest grant from the Community Found ation to help pay for the costs of advertising and publicizing Visit the Farm Day, which was a major success. If you would like to learn more about Field of Interest grants, please call

The Hilltop Spinners group met recently at the Knappenberger ranch in Westfield for a spin-in meeting. The Hilltop Spinners are a group of people from the Southwestern N.Y. region and the Northwestern P.A. region who have kept the art of spinning with a spinning wheel alive. Members are also from the state of Ohio. The group meets every two months for a spinning meeting to share finished products and to talk about techniques learned. Spinning is an old art

dating back many centuries when people would make yarn from fleece and then weave it into clothing, blankets and

other items. The sails on ships were also made this way, and the smaller spinning wheels which did not take up much room were a part of every ship. Sails were then woven for use in sailing. The twisting of the fleece is what gives the yarn its strength. The Hilltop Spinners group was organized in 1978, and has been demonstrating this old technique at craft events, festivals and fairs. Nanette Knappenberger is the president of the group, and welcomes new members.

Lake Erie Wine Country is a consortium of 23 wineries situated on the southern shore of Lake Erie on a 44-mile stretch from the town of North East, Pennsylvania to Silver Creek, New York. Formerly known as the Chautauqua-Lake Erie Wine Trail, Lake Erie Wine Country (LEWC) serves to unite area wineries to promote the wine industry and tourism in the largest grape-growing region east of the Rockies. LEWC is pleased to announce the opening of a new winery in the town of Portland, New York, just minutes east of Westfield, NY on Route 20. “We are thrilled that 21 Brix Winery has opened,” says Julie Pfadt, Executive Director of Lake Erie Wine Country. “They are in a location on a stretch of Route 20 that nicely connects the wineries on the east end of our Wine Trail with those in the middle of our Trail. The owner is an experienced, award-winning winemaker, and their facility is beautiful. They are a perfect addition to our wine and grape region” 21 Brix Winery oﬃcially opened its doors at the beginning of September, 2011. While construction took about one year, the “behind the scenes” planning began about eight years ago when winemaker Kristopher Kane approached his parents, Michael and Marion Jordan, owners of Olde Chautauqua Farms (OCF) about his plan to open a winery. As plans took shape, Kris’ brother, Bryan Jordan, asked to be a part of the adventure. Together, the four owners began the process of planning and overseeing the construction of a 9,800 square foot building. With three generations now involved with Olde Chautauqua Farms and 21 Brix Winery, education and experience about grape growing and wine making has been combined. While under the ownership of Mike Jordan and his father Trenholm Jordan, Olde

Chautauqua Farms (OCF) has grown to include approximately 300 acres of wine and juice grapes in Portland, New York. The farm, which was started with just twelve acres of land in the 1960s has slowly grown and now also includes a U-Pick cherry orchard as well as a U-Pick asparagus patch. Bryan brings corporate business experience with an abundance of ideas for the success of the winery. Kris Kane, present winemaker at Presque Isle Wine Cellars, has been involved in the wine making industry for six years, including a six month harvest job in Australia in 2008. During his tenure at Presque Isle Wine Cellars in North East, PA, Kris has won numerous medals and “best of shows” for a wide variety of wines. He is looking forward to carrying on this tradition with 21 Brix wines. 21 Brix Winery is now open at 6654 West Main Road, Portland, New York, just east of Westfield. (716) 792BRIX. See their website at www.21brix.com. The winery is open daily from 10-6. They will be taking part in Lake Erie Wine Country’s next two exciting events.

County Executive Needs Our Support

Written by Todd J. Tranum, President/CEO of the Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce and Executive Director of the Manufacturers Association of the Southern Tier

County Executive Greg Edwards is ready and willing to take a bold step to send

the message to Albany that we will no longer foot the bill for Medicaid. Greg Edwards needs the support of the County legislature, all of the elected leaders of our municipal governments, organized labor, all home owners and property tax payers along with the business community of Chautauqua County to send the message to Albany that we can no longer carry the burden of paying this unfunded mandate. The Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce and the Manufacturers Association of the Southern Tier supports County Executive Greg Edwards in this effort. In his recent budget presentation and again in the weekly Monday Morning Memo from October 3, 2011, the

Chamber Mixer at Mazza Chautauqua Cellars The next Chautauqua County Chamber Mixer will be an Autumn wine evening on Thursday, October 20th. The event will be held from 5-6:30pm at Mazza Chautauqua Cellars, 4717 Chautauqua Stedman Road, Mayville. Chamber/ MAST members are invited to learn about locally made wines from Mazza. This Net-

working Mixer is sponsored by Fredonia Place, Liazon Corporation, The Observer, The Post-Journal, and Urban Engineers. To register, call the Chamber at 716-366-6200 or 716-4841101, or visit the web site at www.chautauquachamber.org.

County Executive has ‘called upon the Legislature to join him in not sending one more penny of the approximately $600,000 per week that goes to pay for Medicaid unless; The State immediately takes back the unfunded cost of Medicaid from counties; The State passes a law to prevent itself from ever again sending an uncovered program bill for services they demand the County provide;and authorizes counties to make the determination what the right amount of sales tax is for local residents. Here is why we must take this stand. The cost burden of Medicaid is falling directly on our County property tax bills. This is a State mandated program over which the County has no control

in terms of defining the level of benefits and how those benefits are administered. As this burden gets pushed onto an already high property tax burden our County becomes less cost competitive than other regions. High property taxes undermine economic development and deter private investment. Less private investment means fewer jobs. Fewer jobs mean fewer people investing in their homes and communities. We can no longer allow our economic future to be compromised by unfunded mandates such as Medicaid. We are a County with great opportunity. We have a quality of life in Chautauqua County that people who live in other regions of the United States or the world for that matter,

dream about. We have great employers, a diverse base of businesses and agriculture, abundant natural resources and most importantly great people. Let’s take a stand and support County Executive Greg Edwards in an effort to preserve these assets and position our County for future growth and prosperity. If you agree, please call, write, and email your County Legislators and our state elected oﬃcials about this issue. We also ask that you show up in person during the County Legislature’s budget hearings October 26th and make your voice heard. Our lawmakers at all levels must get this message: “Don’t send the check!”

Lunch Scheduled with Congressman Brian Higgins The annual Chamber Federal Congressional Lunch with Representative Brian Higgins will be held Thursday, November 10 at Shorewood Country Club, Dunkirk. This event provides an opportunity for local people to hear from the Congressman and ask questions. Brian Higgins represents New York’s 27th Congressional District, which includes all of Chautauqua County as well as parts of Buffalo and southern and eastern Erie County. He is a member of the House Committees on Homeland Security and Foreign Affairs. He also sits on the Subcommittees

like a salespeople when prospective franchisees call into ask questions by giving them a standard pitch. Nowadays, prospective franchisees have a number of resources, such as the Internet, current unit owners and the U.S. Small Business Administration that they can access to gain information about franchises before even speaking with a system’s management. Using these resources prior to speaking with a franchisor can help potential franchisees devise a list of questions that will ultimately help them steer the conversation to what interests them most, the source notes. “Potential franchisees should use the discovery period to educate themselves about the facts of a franchisor, as well as less tangible areas like com-

munication style and culture,” offers Mary Jane DeJaager, Liberty Tax Area Developer for Buffalo, NY. “Ultimately, the franchisee should feel a click with the franchisor, and a high pressure sell should signal a lack of fit,” adds DeJaager. Additionally, prospective franchisees will need to remember that clicking with a franchise system on a personal level is equally important. During their tenure with the system, franchisees will need to be able to work closely with upper management to be as successful as possible. “Keep in mind that what you are trying to find in a franchise is a good match with not only the opportunity, but also with the people at the franchise company. If you find

that they are pressuring you or not being responsive to your requests for information, it is probably a good clue that this isn’t the right franchise for you,” Entrepreneur explains. Franchisees can also discover how franchisors manage the system through speaking with current unit owners. These individuals can refer an interested buyer to staff who can help answer any questions. But eventually, franchisees will need to bite the bullet and speak directly to the franchisor. However, this should not be a scary task. In fact, in most cases, franchisees will find that it is “a pleasant and informative endeavor and not at all threatening,” the magazine writes. About Liberty Tax Service Liberty Tax Service is the

fastest-growing retail tax preparation company in the industry’s history. Founded in 1997 by CEO John T. Hewitt, a pioneer in the tax industry, Liberty Tax Service has prepared over 8,000,000 individual income tax returns.

Guide Book to Grape Belt Region Published addition to the mentioned topics, there are also chapters on local agriculture and the Amish Country, appreciation of country church architecture and old cemeteries, and geology of the region. Dufresne highlight a dozen of his favorite vineyard vistas photo locations. And he presented a 68 mile Grape Escarpment Scenic Drive Route that twist and turns from Sunset Bay, Hanover, NY to Shades Beach, Harborcreek, PA. Much of the route is on less traveled roads in the Allegheny Plateau Escarpment hills south of Route 20 offering a close-up view of grape farms and long view of grape vineyards. The route will be promoted jointly with the Lake Erie Concord Grape Belt Heritage Area. Dufresne is confident that people who have lived here all their lives will also discover some gems of unvisited locations worthy of a visit. And the information makes it a good little reference book to the local grape industry. “This is not a book to sit on a coffee table”, Dufresne says, “it is a soft cover guide book to take with you when you are driving around or traversing the grape belt region. We are America’s Grape Country.

Husband Honors Wife in New Memoir Loving tribute chronicles a long and deeply passionate marriage

Ruthy several days before New Year’s Day, 1955. He says he knew from the moment he saw her that he would make Ruthy his bride. After nearly 54 years of glorious marriage, he lost his beloved Ruthy. This is their story and Maurice D. Kornberg’s tribute to Ruthy and the wonderful life they had together. On Sunday evening, I drove to her address in Bensenhurst, rang the bell, and she opened the door. The moment I saw her, I decided ‘If this girl wants me I’ll marry her.’ She was beautiful, slim, and charming. My father had not praised her enough. We started to date very steadily

much to my father’s delight. Although almost three years have passed since Ruthy’s death, Maurice D. Kornberg still recalls it as if it happened yesterday. It is his hope that, with My Glorious Marriage, readers of all ages will be inspired by the love and respect he and Ruthy had for each other, that their story might help others who want a better married life. Complete with a number of photographs, notes and scans of personal mementos, My Glorious Marriage presents readers with not only a heartfelt written tribute, but a colorful collection of imag-

ery from their devoted time together. About the Author Born in Poland, Maurice D. Kornberg immigrated with his family as a child to Argentina before settling in New York, where he has spent most of his life. Before the passing of his wife Ruthy, Maurice D. Kornberg enjoyed nearly 54 years of happy marriage. Over the years, he has made frequent trips to Israel. My Glorious Marriage is his first book.

Contemporary author Mat Johnson will be the keynote speaker for this year’s Big Read program, which focuses on the works of well-known 17th Century American author Edgar Allan Poe, best known for his dark tales of mystery and considered the inventor of the detective fiction genre.

“Drop” (2000); a nonfiction novella “The Great Negro Plot” (2007); and graphic novels “Dark Rain” (2010) and “Incognegro” (2008.) His latest work, PYM (2011) turns Poe’s “The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket” on its head cap with the discovery of a manuscript that suggests Poe’s story is more fact than fiction. The revelation sends a disgruntled professor off on an improbable odyssey to find the island near Antarctica described by Poe. In preparation for Johnson’s keynote address, Reed reference librarian Scott Richmond will facilitate a discussion entitled, “Poe, Pym and Beyond:

A Modern Obsession,” on Wednesday, Oct. 12 starting at 6:30 p.m. at the Buster Brown Bean Company Café and Bistro, 33 Church St., in Fredonia. Copies of “The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym,” and Johnson’s spin-off, “Pym: Novel,” are available for purchase at The Book Nook.

CLCS Invites Public Input at Budget Listening Session Contributed Article CLCS

As in past years, in order to gather community input for the development of the 201213 school budget, the Board of Education and administration of Chautauqua Lake Central School invite the public to participate in a Budget Listening Session on Wed. Oct. 19 in the Large Group Instruction Room at Chautauqua Lake Central School. The session will start at 6:30 p.m. The Chautauqua Lake Central School District has committed itself to a long-range budget model that anticipates costs and supports school programs in a fiscally responsible manner. This Listening Session is

a critical part of that work. While district oﬃcials are not always able to incorporate all suggestions and requests, the opportunity to meet with district constituents enhances communication and provides all with valuable insights and perspectives. During the upcoming session, district staff and representatives of the Board of Education will be available to discuss a variety of topics related to the school budget, including the budgeting process, the revised district goals, mandated services, state aid, and other issues. This will not be a budget presentation, but an interactive discussion to about school programs and services and related costs. The district will have a prepared agenda of

discussion topics intended to elicit input and ideas for developing and refining a budget for 2012-13. This year there will be specific emphasis on the Regents Reform Agenda, regionalism initiatives and the new Property Tax Cap law. Information on the budget process is on the district website, www.clake.org; select the District heading, then Budget Process. District residents with questions about the Budget Listening Session or the budget process may call the Community Relations Oﬃce, 7535802. The Board of Education requires that written comments or questions — either hand-delivered, sent by mail or emailed — include the writer’s full name, mailing address, and telephone number.

JCC Receives Major Federal Grant to Support Student Success Contributed Article JCC

Jamestown Community College has been awarded just under $400,000 in federal grant funds from the United States Department of Education’s Strengthening Institutions Program (SIP) for the 2011-12 academic year. It is anticipated that similar funds will be available for a total of five years. The program helps eligible institutions of higher education expand their capacity to serve low income students by providing funds to improve and strengthen academic quality, institutional management, and fiscal stability. “We are extremely grateful to Senators Kirsten Gillibrand and Charles Schumer and Congressman Brian Higgins for investing in our region by championing this grant,” said JCC President Gregory T. DeCinque. “Our elected oﬃcials recognize JCC’s strengths and, by supporting this grant, have indicated their belief that higher education is a key to economic vitality.” “Student success is the unifying element of the projects to be supported by this grant,” said Marilyn A. Zagora, JCC’s vice president and dean of academic affairs, who will serve as the project coordinator. “When students enroll at JCC, we make a promise to connect them to their goals, and this grant will connect them to success by providing varying forms of academic support.” According to Dr. Zagora, the three key strategies to be developed by the funds are strengthening student technology competency to prepare them better for the workforce and/or transfer, enhancing student persistence, and enhancing access to higher education

through expanded distance learning opportunities. In each of these areas, the focus will be to build upon the foundation in place at JCC to provide additional opportunities which will place students in the best position to succeed in their academic efforts and beyond. “The activities funded through this grant will give our students a competitive advantage as they transfer to attain bachelor’s and graduate degrees and as they enter the workforce,” said Dr. Zagora. “Through this grant, we will be able to invest in new technology to support diverse academic programs across the college. Among the areas targeted for technology support are nursing, media arts and digital audio production, and engineering science and mechanical technology. In addition, we will be investing in our faculty by providing training opportunities to fully utilize new equipment and other instructional technologies.” She also noted that increased availability of distance learning technologies, including interactive television and online programs, will allow the college to optimize availability of academic courses and programs and address access issues commonly identified as barriers to education in JCC’s service areas. While the college already has strong academic support in its learning centers and libraries, the new funding will also make achievement coaches available to students identified as likely to benefit from customized assistance to help them reach their academic goals. “Achievement coaches on each JCC campus will offer needed support to selected cadres of students to connect them to the financial, cultural, social, and academic resources

deemed necessary to assure them the greatest possible success at JCC,” said Eileen Goodling, vice president and dean of student development. “A significant body of research indicates that those students who are helped in developing information networks which connect them to the personnel and other resources of a college have a much greater likelihood to achieve success and completion. We at JCC are excited at the prospect of having the resources available to provide such a considerable opportunity to our students.” Jean Schrader, assistant dean of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, and Tammy Smith, interim assistant dean of student development, will serve as activities co-directors for the project. “This federal investment for JCC helps prepare students for the jobs of the future,” Senator Gillibrand said. “We must ensure that every hardworking student has the opportunity to achieve their full potential, and become the leaders that New York needs to compete and win in the global economy.” “A well-educated workforce is key to America’s economic prosperity,” said Congressman Higgins. “This funding will make a huge difference in Jamestown Community College’s ability to give students the skills they need for success after graduation.” “This important investment will ensure that JCC can continue to expand upon the high quality services it offers to the Chautauqua and Cattaraugus communities so that western New York students will be prepared for the technologies they will encounter in the workplace of the 21st century,” Senator Schumer said.

Sarie Mackay, Visiting Author with Local Roots, to Speak Oct. 13 Contributed Article SUNY Fredonia

SUNY Fredonia alumna Sarie Naetzker Mackay, ’77, will talk to students at her alma mater at the invitation of the English Department on Thursday, Oct. 13. The author of two historical novels will give a Craft Talk at 4 p.m. and read from her works at 7 p.m., followed by a book signing. Both events will be held in 202 McEwen Hall. The event is free and open to the public. Formerly of Lakewood, N.Y., Mackay is the author of “Lodestar” (2006) and “Fair Game” (2010). The latter was named a quarterfinalist in the 2009 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Awards Competition sponsored by Amazon.com and Penguin Group. Mackay graduated summa cum laude from SUNY Fredonia with a degree in English Literature and specialization in professional writing. Her achievements as a student led faculty to select her for the distinctive Phi Beta Kappa Award her senior year. After graduating, she worked as a Historical Research Aide to Chautauqua County until 1979. The great-granddaughter of a Montana homesteader, the Chautauqua County native spent several years in Montana as a teen until she moved there permanently in 1979. Her passion for and intimacy with the Big Sky country informs her fiction, and sweeps her characters along on their

journeys of love, longing and awakening. Mackay’s stories are characterdriven and suffused with a well-researched sense of time and place. Her first book, “Lodestar,” follows the 19th century heroine, Persis Allen, as she leaves her home on the shores of Chautauqua Lake and embarks on a locomotive from Dunkirk for her married life in the Montana territory. Her newest book, “Fair Game,” is the story of a fiery young Scotswoman caught in a dark conflict between two powerful ranching families in Montana’s legendary Judith Basin. Mackay’s inspiration for the alpha male wolf in Fair Game was Wolf No. 2, one of the earliest members of the Yellowstone Park wolf reintroduction project.

As a full-time professional in the nonprofit sector, Mackay began expressing her passion for creative writing and historical research on evenings and weekends as she raised a family and pursued her career. She is the owner and operator of Lantern Lodge Publishing, based in Red Lodge, Mont. While she maintains a busy schedule of speaking engagements and book-signings, Mackay continues to work in philanthropy and is the executive director of the Beartooth Billings Clinic Foundation. Her writing credits also include a periodic newspaper column for the Carbon County News.

New Year’s Resolutions – Today!

Randy DeVaul We all make New Year’s resolutions. We make them every year only to find that same resolution on next year’s list because we gave up after a few weeks. Many of those

Well, the point today is to encourage you in a couple of different ways. First, start thinking positive thoughts. For example, think about getting healthier or eating more nutritiously than saying you ‘want to lose weight.’ Second, start working toward that resolution now. Establish your habits for being successful by making adjustments with small, positive changes to prepare you for your victory dance later. What am I talking about, here? The average American gains 12 pounds between now and the new year. No wonder

resolutions have to do with losing weight, losing stress, losing debt. Perhaps resolutions would work better if we focused more on the positives or gaining something that is good rather than the negatives or losing. A positive resolution is more likely to be achieved. When we focus on the positive, any accomplishment that gets us toward our goal is a step closer than where we were when we started. When we focus on negatives, any failure along the way instantly makes us believe we cannot achieve the goal and we quit.

there are so many ‘broken’ resolutions to lose weight on January 1 each year. So instead of stuﬃng yourself more than you stuffed the turkey over these next few weeks, try a little portion control. One of my favorite things to joke about is stating that life is all about balance – you know, when I have a plate full of pecan pie (gazillion calories per serving) followed by drinking a diet soda. If we are actually able to attain that balance, there is no reason why we shouldn’t be able to eat whatever we want when we want. The key – portion control!

Diets, unless for specific medical reasons, are stupid. They don’t work, they get us frustrated when they don’t work, and we always tend to take on the newest fad in diets only to find we either gained weight or we starved. I’m not talking about going on a diet. But I digress. Eating healthy does not mean eating stuff you have to ‘gag down.’ It just means to simply eat and drink ‘normal’ size portions. A higher protein intake will help satisfy the hungries, make you feel more full with smaller portions throughout the day, and over a week or so, help

lose the urge to eat junk. All of that to say this, if you don’t pig out over these next few weeks with food you don’t need and portion sizes that could kill you, you won’t have to make a resolution that, every year, you frustratingly give up on. If all you do is stay where you are and not gain a single pound, you win out over most Americans. Stay positive, make a resolution now, and by new year’s you will be healthier than you might otherwise be.

Scrapbooking Today

Using Natural Elements on a Thanksgiving Scrapbook Page By Anne Walterich Contributing Writer

Call me lazy, but there are few things I hate more than cleaning up after myself. I don’t mind general housecleaning, laundry or making sense from the aftermath of a legendary party, but there is just something about cleaning up after one of my own projects that I dread. I’m sure that not having the mess of paper and glue is one of the reasons Digital Scrapbooking has become so popular with crafters, including me. While not completely neglecting traditional pages, I’ve been focusing so much on digital lately that, despite the autumn – colored mess, I enjoyed the tactile sensation of creating a traditional page for this week’s layout. The tangible result that is not stored on a hard drive or in the cloud of the internet still provides me with more satisfaction than making something fabulous on my computer. With digital, it’s also impossible to directly use those spectacular embellishments provided to us for FREE by Mother Nature

– fallen leaves. First, I went into my pantry looking for waxed paper to preserve the leaves and make them more flexible. Of course, I had run out. I was wearing my “man-catching” outfit of sweatpants, an old t-shirt and fuzzy socks, and though my clothing was not offensive I didn’t want to run to Tops and risk interacting with a human being for one roll that would likely last me ten years. (Do people really use this stuff for anything other than waxing leaves?) Fortunately, I had some plain beeswax available, but candle wax or paraﬃn canning wax would also have worked. I melted it in the microwave and used a foam brush to apply the wax to the front side of the leaves. I placed the waxed leaves between two layers of paper towels and ironed them to produce the same result. (Don’t use a cloth rag for this step unless you are planning to throw it away afterward – the wax will melt all over the inside of your dryer.) Next, I searched my 12” X 12” paper stash for a drab, earthtoned green with a subtle pattern. I chose “Stella Ruby”

Waxed leaves add color, texture and authenticity to this Autumn-based layout.

from Basic Grey (basicgrey. com) because the shade was on the opposite side of the color wheel from the bright oranges in my photo and the deep, rich reds of the leaves. For the accent papers, I used a page from an old book and a brown paper bag. I used Tim Holtz’s Distress Ink (rangerink.com) in Antique Linen and Walnut Stain to add depth

and an aged look to the edges. The two layers of ink highlight the texture and raw nature of the papers in a way that using the darker ink alone can’t accomplish. The chipboard flourish is from an old Creating Keepsakes kit that I covered in Tim Holtz’s Distress Ink in Tea Dye. A branch or small piece of tree bark would also have worked

to keep the nature-based theme of the page. I created a quick digital template in Adobe Photoshop CS2 and added my photos, keeping a ¼” border between the individual photos. Once printed, I sprayed it with Krylon’s Preserve It! Archival spray (Krylon.com,) trimmed the edges once it was safe to handle (it’s highly toxic, so be sure to use it outdoors or in a well-ventilated area,) and used my corner rounding punch to maintain the same shape as in the pictures themselves. I adhered the photo, paper and chipboard pieces with photo mounting squares, because they were flat and appropriate for a dry adhesive. The metal numbers from We ‘R Memory Keepers and the leaves were adhered with Diamond Glaze due to their weight and dimensional texture. A simple handwritten “Thanksgiving” above the “2010” is both the title and the journaling. There wasn’t much of a story to tell about the meal itself and I didn’t want to add a quote about Thanksgiving just to have it,

as if that’s one of the “rules” of Scrapbooking. On previous Thanksgiving pages I’ve written about who was at the meal, what I was thankful for and the delicious food, but I’ve already “been there, done that and moved on.” There’s nothing wrong with letting the photos and the embellishments so the “talking” for you. Besides, I had a mess to clean up. What are your favorite natural elements to use? Send me your ideas at awalterich@ sunsetscrapbooks.com and you may be featured in an upcoming column. This week’s pick : Diamond Glaze adhesive and dimensional gloss, DiamondGlaze. com. My favorite versatile product. If I was on a desert island and could only bring one scrapbook adhesive, this would be it. Anne Walterich is the owner of Sunset Scrapbooks, a photo preservation and album design service.

the kingdoms of the earth. Satan offered all the authority and glory of these kingdoms to Jesus if He would worship him. So was the earth Satan’s to give? 2 Corinthians 4:4 calls Satan “the god of this world.” The previous situation wouldn’t have been much of a temptation to Jesus if the earth, or the authority over it, wasn’t Satan’s to give! But the Bible DOES say that Jesus was tempted (Luke 4:2). So, to put it simply, God created material things to be

under authority and use of His children but that original purpose was corrupted by Satan. This doesn’t mean material things are evil…it just means that they are just a tool whose value must be judged by another means. So what is that means? The Bible tells us in His Word that, “… the Lord searches every heart and understands every motive behind the thoughts” (1 Chronicles 28:9).

is a small body part that can speak great things…” Your tongue has incredible power. It is the rudder of your life. God doesn’t take you somewhere automatically: You must be the helmsman! The winds might be rough but they can’t steer you! The waves might pound on you but you still have the helm. You don’t like the direction things are heading? Then change course! Decree the change. Speak the difference. We are not floating aimlessly with God upon a confused sea. This is why the world is the way it is: People have given voice to the wrong plan. They have

decreed something other than God’s plan. They have loaned their voice to wickedness and destruction has followed. But here is the good news: You aren’t subject to how someone else steers their life! You don’t have to follow the same course of failure. Just because their ship sank in the storm doesn’t mean yours will too. Job 22:28 says, “You shall also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto you and the light shall shine upon your ways.” Your decree becomes your future. Make it a bright one!

Keeping the Faith

By Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church of Chautauqua County

Dear Pastor, does God care about material things? There is a lot of political activity right now associated with anger at “corporate greed” and “rich people” so your question is a timely one. There has also been conflict in the Christian community regarding the idea of Biblical prosperity…is it God or is it just worldly greed entering the church? Given the broad scope of this topic I’ll take the time over the next few columns to try to respond to your question by looking

to our source, the Bible, for answers. Let’s begin with the beginning! In Genesis 1 we see that God created the heavens and the earth. He then gave mankind the authority or dominion over all the fullness of the earth. God did not create the world for the devil or for evil purposes; He did not create the animals and trees for empty green space, He created it all to be the home, use, and service to His beloved children…us. Because God

created material things for good purposes they’re not inherently evil or harmful. His desire was that we would be close to Him and live in abundance and comfort in a special place prepared just for us. So what happened? Sin entered the world through the disobedience of Adam and Eve. This basically took the intended authority from Adam and gave Satan the lease on the world. The Bible tells us in Luke 4:6-7 where Satan took Jesus up and showed Him all

The Weekly Word

You are the Captain of Your Future

Rev. Tim Stahlman Family Church of the Southern Tier

Here is one of the greatest misconceptions of all time: You are where you are because

of God’s sovereignty and the circumstances around you are what God willed for you. Not necessarily! Many people are in places and doing things that God never intended for them to do. Many people today are making decisions completely apart from God. When you realize that this earth is filled with many things that God never intended, you will start to understand why the world is the way it is. Just because God knew something was going to happen doesn’t mean that it was His highest and best intentions. God only has “good will towards all men.” (Luke

2:14) If that is the intention of God, why do bad things happen? God has a great plan for every human life. But that plan completely depends on our own participation with the Gospel. In short, you must understand that you have a voice. Your voice either agrees with God or disagrees with Him. Your voice either resembles God’s tone of redemption or it resonates defeat. Your voice is either a bugle that signals the charge or the cry that rallies retreat. Your voice is the instrument God gave you to make your life beautiful. It has nothing to do with

your ability to sing. It has everything to do with the note of victory you speak. Didn’t Christ die to make us kings? (Rev 1:6) Then why would we talk like slaves? Didn’t Christ die to make us children of God? (John 1:12) Then why do we talk like servants? Stop waiting for God to do something. He has done something and now it’s your turn. James 3:4-5 says, “Likewise, look at the ships: though they are so great and are driven by rough winds, they are steered by a very small rudder WHEREVER THE HELMSMAN DETERMINES… EVEN SO THE TONGUE

Pictured above are students from the Advantage After School Program enjoying an afternoon of horseback riding at Centaur Stride. As part of the after school program, the YWCA has developed a reward system of Y Bucks. Students have the opportunity to earn Y Bucks as a reward for demonstrating appropriate behavior throughout the afternoon. The bucks can then be banked and used towards a large monthly reward or spent weekly on gifts from the prize boxes. “ Part of the goal of the Advantage program is to help students learn and practice positive behaviors such as: cooperation, following directions, using positive language, and making responsible choices,” reports Michele Meleen, Advantage After School Program Coordinator, “we wanted to find a way to reward the kids for making

good choice. Y Bucks are the currency we use. This system allows the kids to be responsible for their own actions and provides them with some incentives. The trip to Centaur Stride was the big prize for September; in October the students will have the chance to use their rewards on a pizza party or a trip to the Triple Crown Sports Card Shop.” For more information on the Advantage After School Program, contact Michele Meleen, Program Coordinator at 326.4012. The Advantage program follows the school calendar and is open on full school days only. The Advantage Program will be closed on Thursday, October 20 and Friday, October 21 for Parent Teacher Conferences. Families in need of child care on those days can sign up at the program site.

Chautauqua County Humane Society Pet of the Week

This week we are featuring “Squeeky”. She is a three-year-old short haired gray tabby. Her and her brother Charcoal came to us in February when their owner moved to a new place. She does like to talk and will often answer you when you talk to her. Squeeky likes attention and to be petted and brushed. She would probably do best in a home that is kind of quiet. Once you hear her squeeky little voice you will know how she got her name. She is ready to move into her “furever” home.

2825 Strunk Road • Jamestown 716-665-2209 • cchs@spcapets.com The Chautauqua County Humane Society’s Pet of the Week is sponsored by The Annual Tom Pawelski Memorial Golf Tournament , held this past summer.

Dunkirk-Fredonia Renew Rivalry Friday Night

It’s the final week of high school, which means the annual rivalry of Dunkirk (2-4, 2-3 B South) and Fredonia (6-0, 6-0 C North). The rivalry dates back to 1901 with Dunkirk owning 63-43-11 record, but the series has been dominated by the Hillbillies as of late, including last year’s 25-12 win that was knotted up at halftime. The Hillbillies come in hot as ever, starting the season with six straight wins following up last year’s state semi-final run. They’ve had little trouble this season outside of Gowanda a few weeks back. Meanwhile, the Marauders have lost three straight and have been juggling their lineup on a weekly basis after several key personnel losses. But, they still have a very talented group of upperclassmen and can avenge a season gone awry with a win over their fierce rival. Outside of extreme bragging rights and an extended winning streak — which is a lot to say the least — there won’t be a whole heck of a lot on the line Friday night considering Fredonia is already the top seed in Class C’s sectional playoffs. Dunkirk, on the other hand, missed their sectional playoffs despite a promising start that saw them beat league power Eden.

squad has in comparison to recent years and Ley is a main target. Defense, though, has been Fredonia’s calling card. Ever since an ugly first half against Gowanda — the Hillbillies allowed 28 in the first half, 0 in the second — they’ve been a nightmare to even get a first down against. In Week 5, they allowed just 16 to Cleve Hill, who had been averaging more than 40 points per game heading into the game. Then they held Akron to seven points last weekend. Luckily for Dunkirk, they’re used to defensive battles. However, with some injuries that has sort of depleted head coach Tim Majka’s squad, the Marauders have allowed 59 points in their last two games leading to losses. The good news, though, is the offense hasn’t missed too much of a beat. Without starting quarterback Kevin Burns last week, converted wide receiver Mike Donaldson did just fine, running for two touchdowns and throwing another. His two rushing touchdowns in the first quarter gave Dunkirk the temporary lead. He also connected with fellow senior Kevin Holmes on a 44-yard touchdown late in the game to show off what he could do through the air. Certainly, there is no doubt that he and Holmes will be looking to end the long losing streak to Fredonia.

Ironmen Open In Jamestown With Win, Fall Saturday By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

It was a great opening night Friday for the Jamestown Ironmen as they introduced themselves formally for the first time to the city of Jamestown with a 3-1 win over the Port Huron Fighting Falcons. Unfortunately, they couldn’t repeat the success Saturday and lost 6-4. Again Jamestown fell behind early when Mike Moroso scored on the power play just five minutes into the game. The goal was a bit fluky from the right end line along the boards and seemed to confuse goaltender Joey Ballmer, who might not have seen it. But again, the Ironmen gave up a penalty and couldn’t get things going in the first period despite being home for the first time.

But newcomer Jake Pollock — playing in his first game for the Ironmen since getting acquired in a trade — got things going early on in the second period with a goal off a nice pass from fellow newcomer Aleksa Lukovic. Ballmer would make a key save on a 2-on-1 midway through the period and after the Ironmen took back-to-back penalties, they needed their goalie even more to kill off a short 5-on-3. The teams went in tied at one through two periods, but the Ironmen came out strong in the third period, something they’ve actually done all year long. After earning a power play two minutes into the period, captain Aaron Scheppelman fired a shot from the point that Pollock redirected into the back of the net to give the Ironmen a 2-1 lead, which would be the eventual game-winning goal. Pollock had a chance for the hat trick a few minutes later when he ripped a one-time from in close that was turned aside by Max Milosek. The Fighting Falcons quickly got the puck up ice for a 2-on-1 that was again thwarted by Ballmer. Ballmer then made another key save at about the 14-minute mark as Port Huron started to pile on the pressure. Ballmer then made the save of the night with a ridiculous glove save that everyone in the arena thought was a goal. Jeff McFarland put the game away when Milosek wandered a bit too far out of his net to play the puck. His pass ended up getting away and landing

on the stick of McFarland who fired away from near the blue line for a basically empty net goal with eight minutes left in the game. Still, Ballmer kept it at a two-score game with a couple of more saves and ensure the Ironmen a home opening win. However, Jamestown couldn’t get the weekend sweep and were beat 6-4 the following night. Again, Jamestown allowed the opening goal, forcing the Ironmen to crawl back from behind. This time it was Ryan Nick scoring five minutes after the opening faceoff giving the Fighting Falcons a 1-0 lead. Jeff McFarland tied the game up just a few minutes later and the teams went into the dressing room tied at one a piece after one. But, again, they would have to come from behind after allowing Kody Polin to score four minutes into the second period. Anthony Stempin scored just 40 seconds later to again tie the game, but the fireworks would happen four minutes later when the two teams got into a huge scuffle involving all 10 players on the ice. Brett Szajner, Zack Szajner and Pollock were all given game misconducts for Jamestown while Jake Goldberg, Alex Globke and Sean Gammage were given game misconducts for the Fighting Falcons. The other four players on the ice, Anthony Coles and Christian Black for Jamestown and Polin and Maxwell Reavis — who started the mess with a hit from behind — for Port Huron, were also given five minutes for fighting. The melee produced 114 penalty minutes alone. The period remained scoreless until the third when Port Huron took over, again scoring first to go up 3-2. Corey Beaulieu tied things up for the Ironmen, but two unanswered goals for Port Huron put things out of reach. Nick Bingaman added a goal for Jamestown. The Ironmen will take on Chicago Friday and Saturday nights in hopes of getting back on the winning track. Of their three wins in 12 games, two have come against the Hitmen.

Jamestown, Fredonia and Southwestern Peaking At Opportune Time

‘Scoreboard Watching’ Sure To Be Week 7 Theme

against their way if they were to lose to Forestville (1-5). The Panthers have used a three-man rushing attack of Tyler Marsh, Robert Benson and Alec Blose to spearhead their offense. They remain the clear-cut top team to challenge Chautauqua Lake for the DD title. If they do beat Forestville, they’ll be the No. 2 seed, possibly paving the way for a rematch in the championship. Since starting 0-2, Sherman (4-2) has won four in a row and will get their shot at Chautauqua Lake this weekend. The Wildcats haven’t clinched a playoff spot yet, so Friday’s game will certainly mean much more to Sherman. Clymer (3-3) has been upand-down all season long, but won a huge game against Ellicottville 18-0 behind their star running back Ryan Phelps, who had three touchdowns. He’s carried the Pirates offense all season long and is a certain first team all-league selection. The win might serve as the final tiebreaker once the season standings are done. Dunkirk’s Playoff hopes dashed Perhaps it was just too many injuries for the Dunkirk Marauders (2-4, 2-3 B South) who lost their third straight game to Springville 32-20 to end any hopes of making the sectional playoffs. Dunkirk seemed to be a formidable opponent after they knocked off traditional league power Eden in the second week of the season. However, they were derailed by injuries and suspensions and ultimately had to move receiver Mike Donaldson to quarterback last week after Kevin Burns suffered a season-ending injury. They’ll end the season with cross-town rival Fredonia.

With just one week left in the regular season, the push for the final playoff spots have been well under way, but no team has been hotter in their pursuit of sectional playoffs than the Jamestown Red Raiders.

Another week and another big win for the Jamestown Red Raiders (5-1, 3-1 AA South) who cruised 52-6 over Frontier. Leading the way for the Red Raiders was their dangerous three-headed offensive attack of quarterback Dennis Drew, running back Spencer DeCinque and receiver Jake Dwailebee. DeCinque carried the offense down the field with 183 rushing yards while Drew threw two touchdowns to Dwailebee. In addition, fullback Ben Whitney ran for three scores inside the red zone. With the way the Jamestown offensive line is playing, it seems like the Red Raiders are going to be very a hard team to contain. Class C Roundup Fredonia (6-0, 6-0 C North) finished their portion of the league schedule undefeated with a 27-7 win over Akron. The Hillbillies dominated through the air with quarterback Connor Farnham throwing for 149 yards and two touchdowns. He connected with Weston Key on a 74-yard catch-and-run touchdown that opened the scoring. Farnham and running back Dylan Cassidy also ran for touchdowns. In C South, Southwestern (5-1, 4-1 C South) rolled over Allegany-Limestone 35-6. Jake Swan led the Trojans, who might just be peaking at the right time, as playoffs are just two weeks away. Swan had three total touchdowns with two short rushing scores. He’s making a great case for All-WNY. Westfield (4-2, 4-2, C South) continued to surprise and clinched a playoff spot with a 31-14 victory over Falconer. Trey North and Cameron

they will likely head to Cleve Hill for their quarterfinal game. Like the North, the final playoff spot will come down to three teams: Allegany-Limestone, Catt/Little Valley and Cassadaga Valley. All six teams make the playoffs in Class D, but there won’t be any scoreboard watching this weekend. Maple Grove (6-0, 5-0) will be the top seed, earning a first-round bye. Joining them with the bye will be Randolph (5-1, 4-1) who will be the No. 2 seed. Silver Creek (4-2, 2-2) and Frewsburg (4-2, 2-2) will play with the winner getting the No. 3 seed and loser No. 4, but both teams will be home for their first playoff game. Likewise Portville (1-5, 0-4) and I-Prep (0-6, 0-4) will play with the winner getting the five seed and the loser the six seed. Both of those teams will be on the road facing either Silver Creek or Frewsburg in Class D’s opening round. Finally, like Class D, all DD teams will make some sort of playoffs. The top four teams will play for the sectional title while teams seeded No. 5 through 8 will play their own tournament. However, unlike all other Section VI classifications, the DD winner will not go on to play for a state title. Chautauqua Lake (6-0, 6-0) has looked nearly unbeatable this year and will claim the top seed. The Thunderbirds have been so dominant this year, they’re ranked in the Top 10 in New York State’s Class D’s rankings. Amazingly, the rest of the league is pretty jam-packed. Only one game separates Panama and Sherman (4-2) from Ellicottville, Clymer and Franklinville (3-3). Only three of those five teams will join Chautauqua Lake in the playoffs. Obviously, if Panama and Sherman win, they’re in. Panama has one-win Forestville at home, while Sherman is on the road against Chautauqua Lake. The biggest game might be Franklinville and Clymer with the loser out and the winner likely in. Considering Ellicottville lost to both of those teams, they have to beat Pine Valley and get a loss from Panama or Sherman (teams they beat) to help them in possible tiebreaking scenarios.

Are The Bills For Real?

Chris Winkler COMMENTARY

Call it whatever you like, but five weeks into the 2011 hem season, the Buffalo Bills are actually a legitimate football be team. ek Just five weeks ago, it was he hard to fathom these Bills eed could beat the Philadelphia Eagles. It was even harder eir to think the win would send the self-proclaimed “Dream Team” to 1-4 and the Bills to ) an astounding 4-1. Certainly lay those records would belong to each other, not themselves. ix will But, after Sunday’s 31-24 r win over the 1972 Miami n Dolphins – OK not exactly – the Bills have probably shown their 23-20 loss to the D Bengals in Week 4 was a bit t of of a fluke. ms Beating a 1-4 team at home No. isn’t cause for extreme celebrar tion. But, to be honest, I still r, think the Eagles are going to I win the NFC East when all n- is said and done.

But that’s what makes this win more meaningful, to me at least, for the Bills. The Eagles sorely needed to win d. Sunday to snap a three-game losing streak and the Bills ) came out throwing – and landing – haymakers. nly ill They blitzed the opposing he quarterback after I was convinced defensive coordinator George Edwards didn’t know this wasn’t backyard football. They ran the ball often – stand with a purpose – after I man thought Chan Gailey wasn’t uallowed to bulk up Fred Jackson’s numbers. lle And although they almost in. gave up 500 yards, the ost defense again proved they ey are capable of taking the nd ball away at any moment. I’ll never think turnovers ) are lucky or fortuitous, and after the plays Bills defenders made, namely Drayton Florence and Jairus Byrd – not to mention the pressure on Vick – it shows the Bills have some real ball-hawks on defense. Clearly though, the warning signs are there. The defense does allow big chunks of yardage and the offense can sputter at times. With another serious injury to another wide receiver in Donald Jones, the Bills are suddenly counting on Naaman Roosevelt and Ruvell Martin to make plays out wide. Have they been able to plug no-names in before? Sure, but don’t think David Nelson and Jones aren’t high-quality

receivers. Thus, while sitting at 4-1, it’s fairly obvious these next seven weeks will tell us whether or not the Bills are a playoff team. They’ll play at Ralph Wilson Stadium just one time as they’ll play four road games, lose a home game to Toronto and receive their bye week. You can’t go to the playoffs if you can’t win away from home. Consider this stretch as more than just a litmus test. It will start with the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium Sunday with the CBS’s No. 1 broadcasting crew of Jim Nantz and Phil Simms. So, if you didn’t think the rest the country was noticing the Bills, think again. I can’t remember the last time those two announced the Bills and I half-jokingly mentioned before the year started that they probably never would. After that, the Bills on are on bye and although I hate to say it, I would still think Bills fans would be ecstatic at 4-2 heading into their off week. They follow it up with Washington (in Toronto) the Jets at home and three straight road games with Dallas, Miami and end exactly where it started, with the Jets again at MetLife Stadium. If you recall the last time the Bills were off to this good of a start in 2008, they went on a similar stretch of road games and divisional games, which of course led to their colossal collapse. But, I’m sick of those 2008 comparisons. The Bills aren’t the same team and really don’t have the same players, let alone coaches. And even if the Bills were to falter a little bit over the course of this difficult seven-game stretch, there’s little doubt in my mind that this team is actually pretty good. It’s more than reasonable to expect playoffs. I know that might sound ridiculous but the AFC is really down and even if you don’t think the Bills will win the division – which I think exactly zero people do – it’s hard to argue there are two better teams that would qualify as Wild Cards. The Steelers, Jets and Raiders are really the only teams that come to mind and the Bills already beat probably the strongest of that bunch and the Jets already lost three times. They have a legitimate MVP candidate in Fred Jackson. His numbers, but more importantly his ability of being the best player on the field, are clear-cut. And although in this new era of complete domination of quarterbacks, Jackson really doesn’t stand a chance of winning the award, he’ll surely be in consideration if he remains the league’s top back for a playoff-bound team. I said before the year started that the Bills were good enough to go 8-8 and I’m sure not many of you believed me. Well, I’ll admit it’s hard to believe I’m going to be wrong; they’re going to win more.

Sports Concussions A Serious Matter

By Owen McGuinness Star Sports Writer

As football season heats up, so does the level of play. This goes without saying injuries are an unavoidable aspect to all sports. Head injuries are among the most serious kind, and this does not exclude concussions. Sports concussions are among the most common of sports injuries, and in some cases they cause serious lasting damage when left untreated. Lauren Frost is a captain of the SUNY Fredonia cheerleading team. Recently in practice, she was diagnosed with a concussion after performing a stunt.

Her healing process has been both painful, and long. However, she says, “It’s important to take time for recovery because as I found out, it impacted me more than I had initially thought it would, and it took a lot longer than expected for me to fully recover.” She recounts her first few days after receiving the concussion. “I did a back tuck and upon landing, the back of my head hit my spotter’s knee. For the next few days, I was constantly groggy and suffered from lasting headaches. That went on for over a week. My memory was also seriously affected.” Athletic trainers at the Uni-

versity oversaw her healing progress with daily appointments, but still did not see her fit to return to practice for over five weeks. “I had memory tests daily, which took into account my reaction times as well as balance tests,” Frost said. “But I wasn’t able to meet NCAA compliances for post concussion fitness tests.” Concussion exams may seem like a waste of time for those who want to get back to practice. “I would have assumed after two weeks that I was fine to return to practice, but I’m glad I didn’t,” Frost said. “Second concussion syndrome is high

among athletes, especially young adults, and after waiting five weeks, I realized I was still concussed long after I had thought. Practicing would have put me back physically, even if I had remained injury free.” For athletes who think they have overcome syndromes of an initial concussion, it’s more important to wait and get tested. Taking time to fully recover from a concussion will prevent athletes returning to play too quickly from serious injury and even possible death. Frost leaves a final message for athletes, “Don’t take your chances, safe is better than sorry.”

Community Foundation Supports Rowing Association’s “Got Oars?” Project

Contributed Article Community Foundation

The Chautauqua Lake Rowing Association is growing rapidly, and each year, more people from around the region are discovering the joy of rowing on our area waterways. That is why the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation was proud to support the CLRA’s recent “Got Oars?” initiative. With the help of a recently approved Community Service Grant, the CLRA was able to purchase eight new oars. CLRA equipment is shared between all of the organization’s programs, and has been subjected to a high level of wear-and-tear. These new oars will help the CLRA in meeting the equipment demands of their growing program. Community Service Grant funds are unrestricted in nature — meaning that they may be used to benefit a wide variety of charitable projects or needs. This is by far the most flexible and powerful tool available to the Foundation to address the needs of the community. Additional details on Community Service Grants can be found at www.chautauquagrants.org or by calling Lisa Lynde at the Community Foundation at (716) 661-3394.

BIRDIES AND BOGEYS

Already a winner

TEEING OFF

IT’S GOOD FOR YOUR GAME

Sixteen-year-old Lexi Thompson has got it made: She’s home-schooled, plus she will be a member of the LPGA Tour next year. The fact that LPGA Commissioner Mike Whan approved her petition to join the tour one day after Thompson filed it was not surprising. With former phenom Michelle Wie now off the radar, the LPGA needs a star. Wie’s handlers left out one little detail in the scramble to cash in on her immense talent — winning. Thompson has won at every level, including the Navistar LPGA Classic in Alabama last month, becoming the youngest winner in LPGA history. This girl can really play.

It’s getting grim

Disappointment, thy name is Elida Betancourt, a 69-year-old California woman whose husband had just died and who needed a new roof she couldn’t afford. She was understandably overjoyed when the local paper published her winning lottery numbers: 7, 12, 19 23, 31 and the mega number 45. She thought she’d won $54 million, but the paper had made a mistake — she’d won nothing. Bill Haas’ numbers in winning the FedEx cup were 68, 67, 69, 68 and his FedEx mega number was 2,760, but so poorly constructed is the FedEx system that Haas didn’t even know he won the $10 million FedEx bonus until they handed him the check. Talk about a shock. The Takeaway: While he can’t do anything about the lottery, PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem can do something about how the FedEx Cup winner is determined. FedEx delivers, but Finchem doesn’t.

THE GOLF DOCTOR

Winning — a natural high Your golf game is composed of one general goal and many specific sub-goals linked together by effort. The general goal is to find the cup, and to do this you must acquire individual techniques designed to accomplish the big goal — a procedure that requires you to set sub-goals. This all sounds pretty hard, but you have some prime-time help: Once you commit to golf, your brain makes sure you stay on the case by driving you forward with rewards, i.e., the secretion of your own natural brain chemicals called endorphins. When you are successful as you pursue your golf goals, you are awash in feel-good chemicals, but when you suffer setbacks, the absence of the chemicals makes you feel upset, anxious or mad. Basically you pursue the goal to get the reward, and when you fail, a shut-off of rewards occurs, causing you to redouble your efforts to attain your goal. Thus your goals are an integral part of an elegant brain process that rocketed humans to the top of the food chain in a blink of the evolutionary eye, so you can’t afford to ignore this resource when you are trying to learn your golf swing. The Takeaway: Your brain gives you pick-me-up when the going gets tough. All you have to do is set your golf goals and then put in some time and effort.

The Lob Shot

Around the greens, it’s best to keep the ball on the ground whenever feasible because it’s easier to judge a rolling ball than a high flying one. Thus the lob — a pitch that’s high and soft with little roll — is the last shot you should use. Your strategy should be: “Putt it first; if you can’t putt it, chip it; if you can’t chip it, pitch it; and only when you have to, do you lob it.” But even though the lob shot is the hardest to judge, there are some situations, such as playing over trouble (bunkers, water, etc.) to a tucked pin, where you need a high, soft shot. The key is to make a silky, flowing swing, moving the clubface with the rotation of your body, absent any manipulation by your arms or hands. Since your body leads the way throughout your swing, your clubhead stays trapped behind you and therefore remains open through impact, allowing the bounce on the bottom of your sand wedge to slide gently under the ball as you swing to a full finish. Setup Since the lob shot stops primarily due to its high arc, position your ball just forward of center in your stance. Make sure the butt end of your golf club is in the mid-line of your body. With your heels a little less than hip width apart, open your stance so your body is open to the target, anchoring the majority of your weight in your front hip joint and establishing it as the rotational center throughout your swing. Once your setup is complete, the operational word that governs your swing is rotation.

I keep my weight on my front side to hit down on the ball, while I set my wrists early to hit the ball high.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

ABOUT THE WRITER Swing Dr. T.J. Start your Tomasi is swing by sima teaching ply turning professional in Port St. your chest Lucie, Fla. away from the Visit his target so that website at tjtomasi.com. everything moves away from the ball as a unit. Unlike the normal pitch shot, make sure to cock your wrists early; your mantra here is “low hands-high clubhead,” a condition that unlocks the loft of the clubface. Note that in executing the lob shot, there is a turn, but no weight shift. Your downswing is characterized by the sweet surrender to gravity, a phrase I use to emphasize the absence of manipulation as you allow your clubhead to fall to the ball — this means (1) no lateral body motion, (2) keeping your head behind the ball, and (3) certainly no hitting with your hands. If you simply rotate your body around your front hip, your clubhead comes to impact with a slightly open face, perfect for a high, soft lob. The lob shot requires a long backswing plus a long follow-through; think of it as “long to long.” But remember, your arms must move at a slow but constant pace with no bursts of power. The tough part of the lob shot is convincing yourself that you can take such a long swing for such a short shot. To get your brain used to the length and nonviolence of the swing, practice hitting a lot of 10- to 20-yard lobs until you can produce the high, soft trajectory every time.

Notice two things here: (1) My forearms have not rolled over, so the face is still open, pointing at the sky, and (2) I’ve allowed my left wrist to cup, a move that adds even more loft.

No points for style in golf Golf is not politically correct. The one big truth about golf is that the golf ball doesn’t care who you are. In other areas of our society this is not always the case. Political correctness shows up often in schools. You’d think the honor roll as a concept would be OK, but some people want it abolished because it makes students who don’t make the list feel bad. There is a movement afoot in Massachusetts to eliminate the Pledge of Allegiance in schools. And just the other day I heard a noted professor on TV argue for a federal law to protect against bias toward homely people. How the government would decide who qualifies as homely and what they would receive as compensation for this disability has not been worked out. No doubt there would be a sliding scale with gradations from turn-and-run ugly to “I’m having a bad hair day but I still deserve some compensation.” But in golf, ugly doesn’t matter; you can shoot a hog-ugly 68 and win, or record a beautifullooking 73 and lose. In golf, we don’t care if your swing is a jazz improvisation with every body part seemingly doing its own thing, or a move as smooth as a baby’s behind. In golf we still use a totally American principle that is vanishing in some other areas of our society: In order to distribute the rewards, it’s “producer in lieu of non-producer.” GOLF BY THE NUMBERS

Lucky threes Little-known Bill Haas earned a total of $11.44 million by winning the Tour Championship, which included a $10 million bonus for also capturing the FedEx Cup. His lucky number must have been three that day: Haas won in a three-hole, sudden-death playoff. Haas bogeyed two of the last three holes in regulation to give up what had been a three-shot lead. Haas recovered in the playoff when his second shot found the lake left of the 17th green, and he hit a miracle shot to within 3 feet, then made it. Haas won the playoff on the next hole when he chipped to 3 feet and holed it.

ASK THE PRO Q: I read the bit about golf being good for you, but you didn’t say anything about how many calories I’ll burn for 18 holes. — R.P. A: It’s the burning question. Last week we saw that researchers at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., documented what we knew all along — golf is good for you when you walk. But how many calories does the average golfer actually burn? The answer is more than most people think. Of course, it also depends on how

you use the golf cart if you don’t walk. I’ve seen golfers practically park on top of the ball and refuse to walk more than a few steps. But if you’re normal, assuming it takes 4 1/2 hours, you’ll burn 1,180 calories per round. You’ll burn 1,452 calories dragging your pull-cart, and if you carry your bag, it will cost you 1,519 calories. (To Ask the Pro a question about golf, email him at: TJInsider@aol.com.)

Sabres Beat Kings 4-2 In First NHL Game In Germany By David Rising Associated Press

BERLIN (AP) — The Buffalo Sabres were in no hurry to leave Europe after sweeping their first two games. “The only tough part about coming over here is now we've got to go back,'' coach Lindy Ruff said. Luke Adam scored twice in a 2:20 span early in the second period to help the Sabres beat the Los Angeles Kings 4-2 on Saturday night in the first NHL game in Germany. Paul Gaustad and Drew Stafford also scored for Buffalo, coming off a 4-1 victory over Anaheim on Friday night in Helsinki. Ryan Miller made 31 saves, and Austrian star Thomas Vanek had two as-

sists, giving him two goals and three assists in the two games in Europe. “It's been great,'' Vanek said. “We came here with the goal of playing good hockey and winning two games and we did. But it's only two games in a year, there's a lot of work left.'' With two Germans and Vanek, the Sabres enjoyed better support in Berlin despite forward Jochen Hecht being unavailable because of a head injury sustained in practice. “It was a fantastic atmosphere,'' said Sabres defenseman Christian Ehrhoff, one of Buffalo's Germans. Anze Kopitar scored twice for Los Angeles. He had a goal and an assist Friday night in the Kings' 3-2 overtime victory over the New York Rang-

ers in Stockholm. After killing off a penalty, Buffalo took control at the O2 Arena with three-second period goals. Adam opened the scoring with a wrist shot over Jonathan Bernier's glove, and made it 2-0 when he tapped in Vanek's pass from in front of goal. Gaustad made it 3-0 with 6:41 left in the period, deflecting Nathan Gerbe's shot past Bernier. The Kings finally beat Miller with 39 seconds left in the period when Kopitar snapped a shot past the goalie's glove on a power play. Stafford beat Bernier on a power play at 3:58 of the third, Kopitar completed the scoring with 4:14 left. Because of flight delays, the Sabres arrived at their Berlin hotel at 4:30 a.m.

Sabres Off To Hot Start By Owen McGuinness Star Sports Writer

Buffalo’s pro sports teams have been off to a phenomenal start so far this season, and the Sabres have been no exception. With Saturday’s win over the L.A Kings, Buffalo moved

up to 2-0 on the season. The next game is at home against Carolina scheduled for Friday, Oct. 14 at 7:30 p.m. Thomas Vanek racked up five points in two games, having scored two goals and three assists. Jaosn Pominville, who was recently named team captain, has

four points with one goal, two assists. While last year had high hopes, Buffalo fell short early into the post season. With momentum gained on the road in Europe early into the season this year, First Niagara Center will again open its doors as the team

returns home from Berlin, Germany, where they beat the Kings 4-2. Prior to being in Berlin, the Sabres hosted a game in Helsinki, Finland, where they beat the Ducks 4-1. As the Sabres prepare for the Hurricanes, fans will no doubt remember Buffalo’s

preseason win over Carolina in which the Sabres racked in three goals for the win. Preseason was a reminder to fans that the Sabres will be a powerful force this year after winning four out of their six preseason games. In a recent interview after playing in Europe, Lindy Ruff,

head coach commented on the next game to be played at home saying his team has good depth and focus on the ice. Even so, the starting lineup for Friday’s game remains to be determined as Ruff said “whoever goes out there and does the best will be in the starting line.”

Chargers Hold Off Tebow-Inspired Broncos 29-24 By Arnie Stapleton Associated Press

DENVER (AP) – Tebow Time might have only been a temporary switch. Or maybe it was the wobbly passing of the torch. Broncos coach John Fox isn't saying who his starting quarterback is following Denver's 29-24 loss to the San Diego Chargers on Sunday. Kyle Orton was benched at halftime and Tim Tebow nearly rallied the Broncos from a 16-point fourth-quarter deficit. Fox said he still has to watch the film, talk with his staff, think things over. The fans who chanted “Tebow! Tebow!'' in appreciation after the Broncos (1-4) fell three games behind the Chargers (41) are eager for an answer. So are Broncos teammates. “Kyle's a great quarterback and I have all the faith in the world with him in the game. Tim came in and played great today,'' guard Chris Kuper said. “What do I say? It's hard to say what's going to happen. As much as we can, we have to tune out the (drama) and stay together in the locker room.'' No matter who their leader will be. “We're looking to have longterm success with somebody, and who that somebody is yet, I'm not sure,'' said Fox, who indicated he wasn't in any hurry to name his starter. Tebow ran for a TD and threw for another after replacing Orton to start the third quarter, and had one final shot for the win before his pass fell incomplete in the end zone on the final play. Maybe Orton returns to the field, uses this as a wake-up

call and leads a turnaround. Maybe Tebow earned another shot with his inspiring play after he was buried on the depth chart following a terrible training camp. Ready or not, Tebow was thrust into the game, appeasing the fans who have been calling for him with the Broncos continuing their losing ways under Orton, who is 6-21 since winning his first six starts in Denver. “He makes plays, you can't deny that,'' Chargers linebacker Takeo Spikes said of Tebow. “People can talk about the way he throws the ball, people can talk about his release. But at the end of the day, this league is about what have you done for me lately? And if you can come in and make the plays that another guy can't, then you'll play a long time.'' After Orton went 6 for 13 for 34 yards and an interception in the first half, Tebow went 4 for 10 for 79 yards and a touchdown and ran six times for 38 yards and a score. “Tim did a good job,'' Orton

said. “I thought the offense responded and gave us a chance to win.'' Orton wouldn't lobby for a return to the field but said he feels he should still be the starter: “That's how I approach it until he tells me differently,'' he said of Fox. Tebow also had no indication who will be under center in two weeks when the Broncos visit Miami. “Thankfully, I don't have to make those decisions,'' he said. It will be intriguing either way. Orton was pursued by the Dolphins in the offseason but trade talks crumbled presumably over his desire for a long-term contract that would have spread out his $9 million salary for this year. And the Dolphins will be honoring the 2008 national champion Florida Gators – who were led by none other than Tebow, when the Broncos visit Sun Life Stadium on Oct. 23. Philip Rivers overcame two big turnovers to throw for

250 yards and a touchdown to go with a TD run, and the Chargers prevailed despite a banged-up backfield with Ryan Mathews (calf, wrist) and Mike Tolbert (concussion) getting hurt. Mathews managed a careerbest 125 yards on 25 carries and Nick Novak, who is on the Chargers roster because Nate Kaeding is out for the year after injuring his left knee on the season's opening kickoff, made all five of his field goal attempts. Down 23-10, the Broncos punted on their first three possessions with Tebow under center before he scored on a 12-yard run. Willis McGahee's 2-point conversion cut San Diego's lead to 26-18 with 61/2 minutes left. Robert Ayers sacked and stripped Rivers on the ensuing possession, and cornerback Andre' Goodman recovered at the San Diego 41 with 4:38 left. Knowshon Moreno turned a short screen pass from Tebow into a 28-yard touchdown. But Brandon Lloyd couldn't come down with the 2-point conversion pass. After Novak's fifth field goal made it 29-24 with 24 seconds remaining, Tebow hit Lloyd for 20 yards and tight end Daniel Fells for 31. He raced downfield and spiked the ball at the Chargers 29 with a second left. He took the final snap, spun and scrambled, but his desperation pass fell incomplete in the end zone. “It just shows the kid is a fighter; we always knew that,'' Broncos defensive end Elvis Dumervil said. “Some things just don't change from the collegiate level. Give him credit. He came in and gave us a spark, so we've just got to finish better.''

Down 2-0, Tigers Add Delmon Young Back To Roster Contributed Article Associated Press

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Delmon Young's big bat is back in play for the Detroit Tigers in the AL championship series. Young was added to the roster before Game 2 at Texas on Monday and replaced Magglio Ordonez, another ailing outfielder who is out for the season after he re-fractured his right ankle. Manager Jim Leyland listed Young in his customary No. 3 spot in the batting order and back in left field. The Tigers had initially left Young off their ALCS roster because of what was then described as a left oblique injury that he reaggravated in the AL division series clincher Thursday night. Further tests showed that might not be the real issue. “As it turns out, it's better for medical people. It's not really the oblique oblique, it's in here more,'' Leyland said, still pointing to the left side of his body. “It's one they didn't think was real serious to start with, but they didn't want to take any chances.'' Leyland said he had just spoken to Young, who was felt fine and was “swinging good.'' During batting practice on the field about an hour before the game, Young hit a couple of balls into the stands.

Ryan Raburn, who started in left field for Young in the ALCS opener, was in right field for Game 2 for Ordonez. Leyland said Sunday, after Game 2 was postponed because of the threat of more rain, that Ordonez was done for the season. Young hit .274 with eight homers and 32 RBIs in 40 games for Detroit after being acquired from Minnesota in August. Over five games against the Yankees before coming out of the Game 5 clincher, he was 6 for 19 and the first player in Tigers franchise history with three homers in a single postseason series. Before the series, Leyland said the decision to keep Young out was because he had never seen “an oblique all right in a day or two.''

The Tigers then didn't want to risk hoping Young could maybe be ready for Game 4 or 5 in the ALCS, then have something happen that would cause them to take him off the roster and make him unavailable if the team makes the World Series. Plus, Young had stiffened up after batting practice Friday in Texas. Everything changed when Ordonez got hurt and there was changed medical outlook for Young. “He did not swing (Sunday). He was tested by the doctors. Did all other kind of workouts and exercised,'' Leyland said. “We were going to wait. It was kind of going to be like the NFL kind of a gametime decision. But we've already made the decision. And he will play.'' Leyland said he still wasn't sure how Ordonez re-fractured the ankle that was surgically repaired in July 2010. Ordonez was lifted for a pinch-runner when Game 1 resumed after two rain delays Saturday night. “Magglio actually told me before, he said it felt a little bit different before the game. It felt like it wasn't exactly right,'' Leyland said. “He really didn't think that much of it. ... He thought maybe it was because of the weather, it was raining and stuff.''

Big East Looking At 12 Teams For Football

Contributed Article Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) — Big East schools gave a go-ahead Monday for the conference to expand to as many as 12 teams for football, a move that could involve adding six members. The schools' presidents and chancellors gave approval for the league to talk with outside schools. The Big East said in a statement that it's “considering moving to a model that includes 12 football playing schools.'' The Big East has been ravaged in the ongoing conference shuffles, losing longtime members. The move on Monday is the Big East's first formal attempt to make up for

its losses. Syracuse and Pittsburgh started the exodus by deciding to leave for the Atlantic Coast Conference. The governor of Connecticut has said UConn also is interested in the ACC, and there has been speculation that Rutgers, too, could leave the Big East. The league thought it had strengthened its football status

by adding Texas Christian. But TCU reversed course and was expected to formally accept an invitation to join the Big 12 later Monday. TCU would have to pay the Big East a $5 million fee to leave without ever playing a league game. Without TCU, the Big East would be down to six football schools: West Virginia, Louisville, Cincinnati, South

Florida, Rutgers and Connecticut. The league also includes DePaul, Marquette, St. John's, Seton Hall, Villanova, Georgetown, Providence and Notre Dame for sports other than football. East Carolina has applied for membership to the Big East. Conference USA members Central Florida and Memphis also have been looking to join a conference with an automatic bid in the Bowl Championship Series. Former Notre Dame head coach Ara Parseghian said over the weekend that Notre Dame could be forced to join a conference for football if the move toward a few super conferences continues.

NBA Cancels First Two Weeks Of Season; No End In Sight Brian Mahoney Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) — Two weeks of NBA games are lost. Many more could be in jeopardy. There’s a “gulf ” that separates owners and players, and they will have to close it quickly to avoid further damage to the schedule. Sticking to his deadline, Commissioner David Stern wiped out the first two weeks of the season — exactly 100 games — after more than seven hours of negotiations Monday failed to produce a new labor deal and preserve the Nov. 1 season openers. The cancellations mark the NBA’s first work stoppage since the 1998-99 season was reduced to 50 games. Clashing more over the salary cap system than economics — but still far apart on both — Stern said the sides are “very far apart on virtually all issues. … We just have a gulf that separates us. “With every day that goes by, I think we need to look at further reductions in what’s left of the season,” he added. Stern said last week that he would cancel the first two weeks of the season Monday without a new collective bargaining agreement to end the lockout. The two sides expect to remain in contact, but no additional formal talks have been scheduled. Stern said he was “sorry” and “sad” to report the cancellations. “We certainly hoped it would never come to this,” he said. “I think that both sides worked hard to get to a better solution. We think that we made very fair proposals. I’m sure the players think the same thing. But the gap is so significant that we just can’t bridge it at this time.” Union president Derek Fisher agreed, emphasizing that missing any games puts the season in jeopardy. He also stressed this was a lockout, not a strike, and that it was the owners’ decision not to be playing basketball. “This is not where we choose to be,” he said. “We’re not at a place where a fair deal can be reached with the NBA.” The cancellation includes all games scheduled to be played through Nov. 14, and affected arenas have been authorized to release those dates. Based on last year’s average announced attendance leaguewide (just over 17,300 per game) and the average ticket cost last season, those now-canceled 100 games represent nearly $83 million in lost ticket sales — before the first concession or souvenir is sold and before the first car pays to park. Season-ticket holders, however, get refunds, plus interest, for all canceled games. Though disappointing to both sides and especially to fans, the result isn’t a complete surprise. The union had warned players for years to save their money, knowing a work stoppage seemed likely, and executive director Billy Hunter repeated that players won’t cave once they start missing pay checks next month. “I think it goes back to a com-

ment that David made to me several years ago when he said, ‘Look, this is what my owners have to have.’ And I said, ‘The only way you’re going to get that is if you’re prepared to lock us out for a year or two, and (this) indicated to me that they’re willing to do it,” Hunter said. “So my belief, my contention is that everything he’s done has kind of demonstrated that he’s following that script.” With another work stoppage, the NBA risks alienating a fan base that sent the league’s revenues and TV ratings soaring during the 2010-11 season. And the cost of cancellations would be staggering. Deputy Commissioner Adam Silver said the league would lose hundreds of millions of dollars; Hunter estimated players’ losses at $350 million for each month they were locked out. Now ushers, security personnel, parking lot attendants, concession workers, restaurant employees and others all stand to have their hours cut or join the country’s 14 million unemployed. A few teams also have either trimmed their staffs or instituted sharp pay cuts — some did that as the lockout began — and more layoffs could be forthcoming. Hunter said he didn’t think the full season was at risk yet and stressed it would be a mistake for the NBA to chance it coming off a season when revenues and TV ratings soared. “I think it would be foolish for them to kill the season, and we’re coming off the best season in the history of the NBA and I’m not so sure in this kind of economy that if there is a protracted lockout whether the league will recover,” he said. “It took us a while to recover from the ’98 lockout, and I think it will take us even longer to recover this time around.” For the second straight day the sides focused on system issues instead of the division of revenues. Stern rattled off concessions the league had made there, allowing guaranteed contracts, not rolling back salaries and giving players an option to shorten the deal. Players say they moved there, too, offering to reduce the value of the midlevel exception to $5 million for a maximum of four years, and reducing contract lengths to five years for players re-signing with their own teams to four years for changing teams. The league wants those, currently six and five, down to four and three. Insisting it needs a system that allows all teams to compete no matter the market size, Stern and Silver said the sides are still apart on annual raises for players and the luxury tax for teams. Players counter that the league’s idea of making the luxury tax more severe would have acted as a hard cap, scaring too many teams from spending above the cap level. “We’re surprised that’s what still separates us,” Silver said. “We would think that the players in this league would also want a system in which players on every team, if they play for well imagined teams, are on equal footing. I think it’ll create a better game, and we think it’ll create hope for more fans in more communities and it’ll ultimately lead to more interest in our game.”

Philadelphia's lost four straight for the first time since 2005, and is off to its worst start since 1999, coach Andy Reid's first season. “I've never been a part of anything where you feel like things are snowballing on you,'' Eagles tight end Brent Celek said. “You feel like when you're in the game, things just continually feel like they're not falling your way. But that's up to us, we can turn it around.'' The Eagles' woes continue to be self-inflected,

only this time they didn't squander a secondhalf lead as they did in their previous three losses. On Sunday, Philadelphia's five turnovers led directly to the Bills scoring 17 points. And that includes Barnett's interception. Philadelphia's defense continues to prove porous after allowing Bills running back Fred Jackson to rack up a combined 196 yards, including 111 rushing, and score on a 5-yard run. Penalties continue to be a problem. Consecu-

Bills WR Jones Out Indefinitely With Ankle Injury Contributed Article Associated Press

will ver ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) – Bills receiver Donald Jones is out indefinitely after hurting his left ankle in a 31-24 win m is- over the Philadelphia Eagles of on Sunday. conde Coach Chan Gailey couldn't put a timetable on Jones' recovery, except to say, “It's an

not a year, but it's going to be a while.'' Jones was carted off from the Bills' sideline late in the first quarter after making a 7-yard catch off a screen pass from Ryan Fitzpatrick. An undrafted rookie free agent last year, Jones had taken over the Bills' No. 2 receiver spot. He entered the game as the team's third-lead-

ing receiver with 14 catches for 149 yards and one touchdown. He left with a pair of catches for 25 yards, including an 18-yarder that set up Buffalo's first score, Fred Jackson's 5-yard run. The injury further depletes an already thin group of receivers. Buffalo already has two receivers on injured reserve: Roscoe Parrish (ankle) and Marcus Easley (chest).

Bills D Giveth, But Then Takes It Away

re, valBy John Wawrow n to Associated Press of nor ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) ir — So long as the Buffalo Bills r keep winning, coach Chan e Gailey won’t complain too nd much about the alarming e. number of yards his defense is allowing. that e no He’ll gladly trade those balrn looning numbers in exchange e for how adept his opportunisfor tic unit has been in producing for turnovers. “If we keep getting four and the five turnovers a week, you can uld discount a few of those yards,” Gailey said, Monday. “It om would be lovely to have both, el. but you don’t get that all the t time. You need to have one or d. the other.” In a season in which the Bills d have given up plenty, they’ve h proven capable of taking it ey away, too. ms, Just ask Philadelphia Eagles k quarterback Michael Vick, nd who was hurried and knocked r around in throwing a careerniworst four interceptions in a to 31-24 loss on Sunday. Along with linebacker Nick Barnett’s 31-yard interception return for a touchdown, Buffalo converted five takeaways (including a fumble) into 17 points. That more than made up for the 489 yards offense allowed, extending Buffalo’s streak to a franchise-worst four straight games of giving up 450 yards. “You don’t want to give up those yards,” linebacker

Shawne Merriman said. “But if we’re taking the ball away from teams and putting our high-powered offense back on the field, it’ll put us in the best possibility to win the game.” It’s an equation that’s working for the Bills (4-1), who will face the New York Giants (3-2) at The Meadowlands on Sunday. Though there’s been much attention paid to Buffalo’s “NoName” Ryan Fitzpatrick-led offense over the past month, the defense is starting to earn recognition for its rope-adope resilience. Despite giving up nearly 422 yards a game, the Bills lead the league with 16 takeaways and 12 interceptions — one more than Buffalo had all of last season. “I don’t even know what happened last year other than the 0-8 start,” safety George Wilson said, when asked to compare the interception totals. “The only stat that matters is the `W.’ As long as we continue to get the victory, as long as we have more points than the other team at the end of the game, that’s all that matters.” Wilson, who broke into the NFL as a receiver before making the switch to safety in 2007, has not lost his passcatching touch in leading the Bills with three interceptions. “It means nothing,” Wilson said, downplaying both his performance and the Bills record. “Don’t believe the hype.

We’re still proving it.” Hype or not, the turnovers have played a difference for a team that’s already matched last year’s win total and has matched its best start since 2008. The 16 turnovers have led directly to 79 points, which is nearly half of the 164 point the Bills have scored this season. That includes the defense returning an interception for a touchdown in each of its past three games, a streak that’s one short of matching the franchise record set in 1960, the former AFL team’s inaugural season. “I couldn’t be more thankful,” running back Fred Jackson said. “The more times we get the ball, the more chances we have to put up points. And if we continue to get turnovers like that, we’ll be a hard team to beat.” It’s a solid start for a revamped defense that’s already encountered a rash of injuries to its secondary, and still attempting to find its identify after being overhauled this offseason. Wilson’s starting in place of Donte Whitner, who left in free agency. Barnett replaced another free-agent loss, Paul Posluszny. And veteran cornerback Terrence McGee has missed all but a few plays this season after hurting his hamstring in the opener. Though Buffalo’s registered only five sacks, it has managed to apply pressure.

tive penalties turned a second-and-goal from the Bills 6 to a second-and-goal at the 26, forcing the Eagles to settle for Alex Henrey's 35-yard field goal that cut the deficit to 31-24. Then came the capper. Facing fourth-andinches at midfield with 1:23 left, Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick coaxed defensive end Juqua Parker offside to give Buffalo another set of downs and run out the clock. Reid refused to blame the loss on Parker. “I'm not going to hang one guy out to dry,'' he said. “A lot of people were involved throughout the game.'' Vick went 26 of 40 for 315 yards and two touchdowns with a career-worst four interceptions. And he added 90 yards rushing to give him 4,948 for his career, passing Randall Cunningham for most yards by an NFL quarterback. “Sitting at 1-4, there's really not too much you can say,'' Vick said. “I know I've got confidence in those guys. We've just got to keep fighting.'' The Bills now have 12 interceptions this season – one more than they had all of last season. And they've now scored on interception returns in three straight games to match the team record set in 1960, the franchise's inaugural season. Fitzpatrick went 21 of 27 for 193 yards passing with a 6-yard touchdown strike to David Nelson and an interception. The Bills eventually built a 28-7 lead on Brad Smith's 5-yard run early in the third quarter. “We're putting ourselves in a tremendous opportunity,'' Jackson said. “We're happy where we're putting ourselves. But we still have a lot of work to do and a lot of teams left to play.''

Homerin Leads The Way For Bonnies Swimmers

St. Bonaventure Sports Information

BUFFALO, N.Y. – Junior Elias Homerin picked up two first-place finishes for the St. Bonaventure men’s swimming and diving team as they opened the 2011-12 season at the WNY Invitational Saturday afternoon in Buffalo, N.Y. Homerin made a splash early on in the long distance events when he placed first in the 500-yard freestyle (4:45.12), finishing almost five seconds ahead of University of Buffalo’s Eric Culver (4:50.34). He finished ahead of Culver again in the 1,000-yard freestyle when he touched the wall with a time of 9:49.15. In the 200-yard butterfly, Homerin finished in second-place with the time of 1:56.60.

Sophomore James Martin also had a big day for the Brown and White. In the 200-yard freestyle he finished in second-place with a time of 1:43.45. He then sprinted to two third-place finishes in the 50-yard and 100-yard freestyle events where he finished with time of 21.26 and 46.74, respectively. Freshman Ripley Danner began his collegiate career with a second-place finish in the 200-yard IM, touching in at 1:57.68, and sophomore

Stephen Melchiorre placed third in the 400-yard IM with a time of 4:20.07. Seniors Peter Koenig and Michael Dansa also helped the Bonnies. Koenig finished in third-place in the 100-yard backstroke (52.97) and Dansa placed third in the 200-yard breaststroke (2:12.43).

Janelle Taylor headed in the game-winner off the foot of freshman Brittany Charles in the 63rd minute to lift St. Bonaventure to a 2-1 victory over Duquesne Saturday afternoon at McGraw-Jennings Field.

Charles recorded the first point of her collegiate career to snap the tie and help St. Bonaventure (6-5-2, 1-1-1 Atlantic 10) earn its first conference win of the season. After a slow first half, the action and pace of play picked up in the second. Just 62 seconds into the final stanza, Courtney Hoenicke sent a

cross in to Molly Curry, who shielded a defender on her back and scored her teamleading third goal of the year. The tally also snapped a span of 298:18 in which the Bonnies had not scored dating back to the first half of the Colgate game. Five minutes later, Duquesne (2-9-1, 1-2) put home a

Late Duquesne Goal Forces Tie With Bona Men Contributed Article

St. Bonaventure Sports Information

PITTSBURGH, Pa. – Duquesne (3-5-2; 0-0-1 Atlantic 10) scored an equalizing goal with six seconds remaining in regulation Friday evening to force a 1-1 double-overtime tie with St. Bonaventure (4-5-2; 0-0-1 A-10) in the league opener for both clubs. Duquesne knotted the game after Adam Clement fired a left-footed shot off a deflection and scramble at the top of the box. Clement turned to

his right, and, through a mass of bodies, beat goalkeeper Mitchell Mack. Joshua Gonsalves got the Bonnies on the board in the 41st minute after he ran onto a ball played perfectly over the center defender’s head by sophomore Daniel Iannacito. The senior took a few dribbles, avoided the on-rushing Dukes’ keeper and placed his second goal of the campaign off the inside of the right post. Things started inauspiciously for the Bonnies, as Mack needed to make a huge save on a Duquesne penalty kick not even 30 seconds into the

contest. Mack lunged to his right and deflected Joshua Patterson’s shot off the crossbar and out of play. Duquesne had sent a ball into the side of the box right off the opening kickoff, catching right back Steve Carcaterro off guard. The freshman grabbed the Dukes’ attacker in the box, prompting the penalty kick. The Dukes dominated much of the possession in the first half, and at one point held a 5-1 shot advantage. Mack broke up numerous Duquesne attacks by coming out the net, and got some help from the woodwork as the Dukes

Archery Season To Start Saturday By Steve Peacock Star Outdoors Writer

With opening day of archery season here this Saturday folks are practicing with their bows and getting tree stands up in anticipation. But beware. I’ve heard more than a couple stories of people getting tree stands stolen. So make sure if you are going to leave them that you lock them up.

For those of you that do not archery hunt, the fishing should be good. The perch fishing on Lake Erie has been the best I’ve seen all season. The numbers have been good with lots of fish in the 12 to 13 inch range. If Steelhead are more your thing, there should be some around. I’m told it’s been a little slow, though. The rain later this week should bring

more fish into the streams. I hate to say it but some cooler weather will help the Steely fishing. Fall is also the best time of the year for musky fishing on Chautauqua Lake. Being successful will require a lot of patience. That being said, this is the only truly big game fishing opportunity available locally.

2011 CHASE CONTENDERS

Points standings, race results from Sunday’s Hollywood Casino 400 at Kansas Speedway

1. Carl Edwards 2,161 (finished fifth) He started on the front row at Kansas, then fell back and got lapped by Jimmie Johnson. But he bounced back to score a top-five and take over the points lead. “This is like getting a win considering how it looked like it could have been,” he said. 2. Kevin Harvick -1 (finished sixth) Like he often does, the driver of the flagship car at Richard Childress Racing lagged back all day then came on with a flourish at the end. “Everybody’s patience got tested [at Kansas], and we’ll go back and see if we can’t do better at Charlotte,” he said. 3. Jimmie Johnson -4 (finished first) The five-time champ put an end to the speculation over whether he and the 48 team were off their usual Chase pace. “This thing isn’t going to be over until Homestead,” he said. “We came a long way from the opening race ... but it’s still a lot of racing left.” 4. Brad Keselowski -11 (finished third) If Keselowski had gotten his bonus points from the regular season, which he didn’t because he was a “wild card” entry, he’d be just two points out of the lead. “We’ve had top-five cars each and every week,” he said.“We’re executing very well as a group and as a team.”

‘The future’s bright’

Free agent Bowyer makes it official, joins Waltrip Racing for 2012

n moving from Richard Childress’ race team to Michael Waltrip’s, Clint Bowyer is moving from a team that has won 99 Sprint Cup races and six championships to a much younger team that that has won two races and has a best points finish of 16th, all three by David Reutimann. But Bowyer said during an announcement last week at Kansas that he sees his move as a step forward. “It’s all about the future,” he said. “The future’s bright. I’m looking forward to a good relationship with [Michael Waltrip Racing], with Toyota, everybody involved. I think it’s going to be a good time.” Bowyer, who became a free agent this year, said he first secured the backing of sponsor 5-Hour Energy, then went looking for a race team. He first tried to get the deal to work at Childress, but that didn’t pan out. At that point, he made the decision to leave Childress and went shopping for a new race team. It wasn’t long before he settled on Waltrip’s, where he will be a teammate to Martin Truex Jr. and Reutimann. “I see a young, aggressive team [with] great backing with Toyota behind them in a down market,” he said. “I see a young, energetic sponsor in the same boat. “Both of them are pushing forward. They’re spending. I see this as an opportunity to catch up, period. I think that there’s no question MWR has done a great job with marketing for their sponsors and keeping

sponsors, better than anybody in the garage area. “I see their performance improving week in and week out, so I had to work [hard] to make sure I was on top of them before I walked into this deal here. I just see this as a wonderful opportunity for me to prove myself to everybody.” It’s uncertain as yet who will be Bowyer’s crew chief next year, but he will have a familiar face as the team’s executive vice president of competition. Scott Miller, a veteran Childress employee, is moving to Waltrip’s team next year. Bowyer said Miller’s recent decision to move to Waltrip’s team had an influence on his thinking. “Scott Miller is a great friend,” he said. “Obviously, as soon as I heard they were talking to Scott Miller, it definitely tripped my trigger. “He’s a go-getter, influential in everything that has happened at [Richard Childress Racing], and I know he’s going to be a great asset for MWR. He’s just a great guy, a good leader and all around great person to be around.” For Waltrip, hiring Bowyer, a proven Chase contender, is a way to add a third team and to make his entire organization a bigger player in the championship hunt. He said he heard those words from Lee White, the group vice president and general manager for Toyota Motor Sales, USA. “He just came up to me and said, ‘You

NOTEBOOK

Johnson ends win drought at KS When Jimmie Johnson qualified 19th at Kansas Speedway last week, many NASCAR watchers figured it was another sign that the five-time Sprint Cup champion’s reign was in jeopardy. But when the drivers lined up to race on Sunday, Johnson needed only 23 laps to get into the lead, and by the time the checkered flag fell he’d led 197 laps, scored his 55th career victory and moved to within four Jimmie Johnson (NASCAR markers of points photo) leader Carl Edwards. His win, which tied him with Rusty Wallace for eighth on the all-time list, also was the 199th for his car owner Rick Hendrick, and it gave Chevrolet its 35th Manufacturer’s Cup in NASCAR’s elite division. It also ended a 21-race losing streak, the longest of Johnson’s career. Johnson said in his winner’s interview that his dominating performance started with a fast car and was made possible by quick work by his pit crew. “That race car was on the money,” he said. “Our pit stops on pit road were phenomenal. We ran really well at Chicago and didn’t get the finish we kind of deserved there because of the fuel mileage, and we came [to Kansas] and backed it up with another strong performance on a mile-and-a-half [track].”

need to get this done. This will change your company,’” Waltrip said. “Lee’s a racer, and he knows that [Bowyer] can go out there and win the championship.” Bowyer will drive a car numbered 15, the same number Waltrip used when he drove for the late Dale Earnhardt, who once drove a Ford with that number for car owner Bud Moore. “There were some options that they threw out there, and I just liked the 15,” Bowyer said. “Obviously, I’m a racer and I want to be closer to number one than 100. It was obviously good to Michael [Waltrip, who won the Daytona 500 twice while running No. 15]. “I’m big on Daytona. That’s one of my favorite race tracks, and that number was pretty good to him there, so hopefully we can get us one one of these days.” The sponsorship picture for Bowyer’s car isn’t complete as the 5-Hour Energy deal is for just 24 races. But Waltrip said he’s optimistic the remaining races can be sold. “We have 12 races to fill,” he said. “We look forward to this announcement becoming public knowledge so we can begin the pursuit to put some more folks on the car with Clint … “He does a great job telling the story. He’s just very energetic, I just love the way he goes about conducting himself, and hopefully that will allow us to sign up some more sponsors to fill out the car.”

Johnson’s crew chief Chad Knaus said that turning a 19th-place qualifying car into one that thoroughly dominated the race was a joint effort between the driver and the engineers and mechanics on the car. “Definitely the car wasn’t where it needed to be on Friday,” Knaus said. “We wanted to qualify a lot better than what we did, and unfortunately we just couldn’t get it.” Saturday wasn’t any better for the 48 team as they struggled in windy conditions to find the proper setup. But, Knaus said, on Saturday night, Johnson offered detailed feedback and the team engineers used that to come up with a new chassis setup. “Jimmie was very dedicated [Saturday] night with us to try to figure out the setup of the car,” Knaus said, adding that others including lead engineer Greg Ives sifted through data from previous races and testing, as well as other information, to come up with a solution to fix the car. Then it was up to car chief Ron Malec and his crew to make the changes on Sunday morning. “Ron Malec and the guys did a great job of putting that setup in the race car and making sure that it was going to last the full 400 miles, and it was a great day,” Knaus said. And their performance at Kansas has people again looking at Johnson and the 48 team as the ones to beat in the Chase. Gone for now are the stories about how their five-year reign might be coming to an end. But Johnson said he never paid much attention to those stories. “I live in my little world, and I know what my team is capable of,” he said. “We showed [at Kansas] what we’re capable of when we’re all performing at the top of our game, and hopefully we can do that for six more weeks.”

5. Matt Kenseth -12 (finished fourth) His consistency has him in the thick of the title hunt. His Chase finishes are sixth, fifth and fourth. “I feel like we were off all day [at Kansas], and we were still able to come home with a top-five so that was good,” he said. 6. Kurt Busch -16 (finished 13th) The Dover winner never really got untracked at Kansas. Still he was running seventh when the caution flag flew to set up a green-white-checkered-flag run to the finish. He and crew chief Steve Addington chose to stay on the track but wound up being passed by drivers who stopped for new tires. “The fresher tires got us,” Busch said. 7. Tony Stewart – 19 (finished 15th) The Chicago and New Hampshire winner had the second-fastest car midway through the 400 but faded at the end because he slipped up – literally – on his final pit stop.As he approached his pit,his foot slipped off the brake onto the accelerator and he slid through his pit, putting him 17th in line for the green-white-checkered flag restart. 8. Kyle Busch -20 (finished 11th) His second-best career Kansas finish wasn’t enough to help him close on the Chase leaders, but he and crew chief Dave Rogers figure their worst tracks are behind them. “I’m really optimistic going forward to Charlotte,” Rogers said. 9. Dale Earnhardt Jr. -43 (finished 14th) He needed a strong finish to get back in the battle for the championship, but he didn’t get it. “I just want to win a race,” he said. 10. Jeff Gordon -47 (finished 34th) One of the early favorites to win the title now finds himself more than a full race behind the leaders after just four of 10 Chase races. A blown engine did him in at Kansas. 11. Ryan Newman -54 (finished 18th) A loose lug nut on a green-flag pit stop cost him a lap, and his No. 39 Chevrolet was loose all day. Still he made up two laps and salvaged a top-20 finish. 12. Denny Hamlin -79 (finished 16th) The Hollywood Casino 400 ended with another lackluster finish by the driver who was second in the standings this time last year.And he’s not particularly optimistic about heading to Charlotte. “Normally, I would say yes, but we’re not quite running as well as what we should be at this point,” he said.

Gordon tests reconfigured PIR Jeff Gordon put his No. 24 Chevrolet through the paces on the reconfigured Phoenix International Raceway last week and found it to be a much different course than the one he won on earlier this year. Since the Subway 500 back in February, the track has been repaved and reconfigured. The frontstretch has been widened, the turns now have variable banking, pit road has been redesigned, and the dogleg on the backstretch has been pushed out and its radius tightened. Gordon told reporters that the changes do take some getting used to. “It’s obviously very smooth,” he said. “Nice to have that wide front straightaway. I like the new pit road, as well.” Although the changes are intended to produce more side-by-side racing, Gordon said fans can expect some single-file running, at least until the asphalt begins to wear. “It’s going to be a narrow groove the first couple of times we’re here, and it’s going to take time, and guys are going to have to push that edge, keep cleaning it off as we go.” Phoenix isn’t the only track facing a race on new pavement. Kansas Speedway is on the list too. Brad Keselowski said after winning the Nationwide race and finishing third in the Cup race at Kansas that he hates to see that track being repaved. It’s being done because the harsh winters of the Midwest have damaged the asphalt, but that doesn’t make drivers like it any better. “I hope that the technology is developed, or maybe it does exist, to build tracks that can hold up a little bit longer ... because I think we see better racing as the tracks get older, and I think this track in particular has become very racy,” he said.

Clarion’s Windjammers Restaurant and Lounge By Dusten Rader Entertainment Editor

Hotels might not be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about where to go out to dinner. But, don’t look past Clarion’s Windjammers Restaurant and Lounge. Whether looking for a place to have a good home cooked meal or to host a party, the Clarion is the perfect spot. The hotel originally started out as a Four Seasons, then changed to a Ramada and finally ended up as the Clarion. Clarion is the full service brand of Choice Hotels. It has much to offer with 127 rooms, four conference rooms, two banquet rooms, an outside pavilion, a restaurant with a bar open year round and a seasonal cafe and bar. The Clarion and Windjammer’s staff consists of General Manager Ashok Chopra, Catering Sales Manager Melissa Wdowiasz, Head Chef Maryann Wilson and Evening Chef Shawn Witt. Windjammers features an interior that is nautically themed and there is even a large mast that creates the likeness of a ship’s hull. “They call it Windjammer’s because of the proximity to the lake,” said Chopra. During the Summer season the Clarion is a great place to stay for a vacation. Windjammers allows guests to enjoy a home made meal while having a fantastic view of the pier and Lake Erie from their table. But, it’s also nice during the Fall and Winter season. Wdowiasz loves having dinner inside the restaurant when the leaves are changing and the snow begins to fall out on the lake. “It’s like a snow globe,” said Wdowiasz. “I really like it here in the Winter time because it’s beautiful. It’s really pretty with all the windows because you

variety of dishes from starters to desserts. One of the most popular dishes on the appetizer menu is the Bruschetta. It includes a blend of Roma tomatoes, garlic, basil, Asiago cheese and olive oil served on ciabatta bread. But, the top seller on the starter menu is definitely the wings. They are served with blue cheese

and can be tossed with a number of sauces including BBQ, Cajun, mild, medium, hot and butter garlic. The soup menu features a seafood bisque served with a jalapeno biscuit, the ever popular French Onion soup and a soup of the day. Off the salad menu the local favorite is

the Black and Blue that includes a blackened steak over a bed of mixed greens with roasted red peppers, red onions, blue cheese crumbles and a balsamic vinaigrette. The light menu focuses on sandwiches like the Windjammer’s burger, a classic club, Philly cheese steak, a cranberry chicken salad with walnuts served on

a croissant and other items like golden fantail shrimp or chicken tenders. The paninis are a very popular choice that guests seem to enjoy. They include garlic, tomato, provolone, feta cheese and Italian seasoning. But, the most unique item is the French onion flat iron sandwich. This baked steak sandwich is served open face topped with French onion

soup and provolone cheese. The main course menu features more filling meals like steaks, veal, chicken and fish dinners. There is a local Walleye dinner that is baked and topped with roasted almonds. The chicken Neptune includes a grilled boneless breast topped with crabmeat in a light lobster cream sauce. The veal scaloppini comes with tender slices of veal sauteed with tomatoes, mushrooms lemon garlic butter and served with tricolor pasta. One of the newest items is the pork tenderloin that features pan fried medallions topped with mango chutney. Every dinner entree is served with soup or salad, vegetable and a choice of potato. Pasta entrees are served with salad and dinner rolls. Free breakfast is served every morning in Windjammer’s. It’s a breakfast buffet that guests get to enjoy while sitting in the beautiful restaurant enjoying the lighting and view through the large windows. “About a year ago we decided to include free breakfast when staying at the hotel,” said Chopra. “We realized many other hotels were offering it and in order to be competitive we made the change.” Plus, there is a lounge next door where guests can enjoy a drink from a fully stocked bar. The restaurant closes at 9 p.m. but the bar opens at 4 p.m. and closes when there are no more guests to serve. There is a wine list that features both local wines from Merritt and others from California. There are special days throughout the week. Every Friday night there is a special fish fry. “We get lots of locals in for the Fish Fry,” said Chopra. “I think it’s the best is the area.” Then on Sunday there is a Brunch from 11:30 to 2 p.m. It is a busy day that is popular among

Saturday, with the actual competition taking place on Sunday. Winners will be announced at approximately 3 p.m. As with other special weekend festivities, admission to this great Trebuchet challenge is $5.00 per person, and children under 3 are admitted for free.

Go Places – Chautauqua Miniatures and Dollhouse Gallery By Dusten Rader Entertainment Editor

Along the lake in the beautiful scenic Mayville there is a place where people can fulfill their creativity. Those who have a love for miniatures and dollhouses can learn to create a dream house or replicate a memory in a way that will last a lifetime. Chautauqua Miniatures and Dollhouse Gallery is owned and operated by Sandra Duffee and Heather Johnson with the help of their right hand man Frank Kier. In 2003, the duo purchased the former Pearson’s Stained Glass and Miniature Store in Lakewood and ran it until space became an issue. From there they moved to the Red Brick Marketplace in Mayville where they now operate out of a 5000 square foot building. “I’ve always collected minLocated along Chautauqua Lake in Mayville Chautauqua Miniatures is must see vacation stop. iatures and then when I met (Photo by Dusten Rader) Sandra while working at Chautauqua Institution found she had a talent for them too,” said Johnson. Within the walls of the beautiful building lies an abundance of miniature joy collected by Sandra and Heather. It isn’t a rare occasion to hear a customer breathe an “Oh my gosh” as they enter the front door. The first thing guests are greeted with is a display of dollhouses Beautifully crafted homes that resemble a perfect A massive variety of hand crafted pieces to that represent the fine quality dream house.

can really bring a piece to life. It makes you just want to get right in and sit.” Dollhouses aren’t the only thing that customers can create. There are also vignettes or memory boxes that capture special memories. They are usually one room designs that feature a moment or place that commemorate a special occasion for a lifetime. “It’s almost like a 3D canvas,” said Johnson. “I made one for my mother when she retired. She was in the editorial department of the Buffalo News so I did a piece of her office.” But, the experience doesn’t stop with dollhouses and miniatures. The building also includes the 2 Chixx gift shop where guests can find the perfect present for any occasion. Johnson tries to carry items that would make good gifts for anyone of any age group. The name 2 Chixx is based on Heather and Sandra. “We realized that we needed more than just miniatures,” said Johnson. “So, we travel to big gift shows and buy items from all over the world. We’re really finding what’s cutting edge. We work really hard and do our research so that we come back with the new and unusual.” Once guests are finished perusing the ground level they can make their way upstairs. On the top floor a display of antiques for sale looms into view. While there, customers will find a number of unique items to decorate their own home in a manner that is reminiscent of the beautiful dollhouses throughout the store. Also located on the top floor is the “lumber yard” where wood of all shapes and sizes can be found. Customers can use the wood to design and build the perfect house or room. If inspi-

ration is needed patrons can look at the large selection of house kits on the top floor too. There are a number of already assembled houses as well as “build your own” style kits to choose from ranging from Victorian to contemporary. If kids are on the trip as well then they can enjoy a large selection of toys, dolls, stuffed animals, puppets, marionettes and games. There will be a puppet demonstration held on October 22 at 1:30 for kids and their parents to enjoy. A puppeteer will host a puppet show and interact with customers.

creativity,” said Johnson. “We basically carry stuff that doesn’t have batteries or computers. There are a lot of good sturdy old fashioned things that aren’t out there anymore. They are fun toys that take a little more to make happen.” Chautauqua Miniatures and Dollhouse Gallery is more than a place to make purchases. During Chautauqua season they offer classes every Saturday and then on the off season they host one each month. There classes and workshops are held to help fine tune the work of aspiring miniaturists. They are for any age group but if the students are young parents are asked to be involved as well.

Achieving that perfect look and feel can be a difficult process. So, in addition to the classes if there is something that guests need custom made or fixed Sandra and Heather have the tools to find a solution. Just call or stop in so they can figure out how to help. Chautauqua Miniatures and Dollhouse Gallery gives people who are entranced by small things a place to feel at home with their hobby. Sandra and Heather have worked hard to create a place that guests feel comfortable expressing their love for miniatures and dollhouses. “As soon as someone walks in the door I can tell if they have the ‘mini-gene’,” said Johnson. “There are

people out there who are just consumed by miniatures. I have always been entranced by little things. Then when I was in college discovered Mrs. Pearson’s shop and I didn’t even realize that you could make such beauty. I’ve dabbled in all different arts but in miniatures you can do all them all. I think it fulfills your creative spirit.” Chautauqua Miniatures and Dollhouse Gallery is located on Route 394 at 5031 West Lake Road in Mayville.

Movie Review: Forgotten Scary Movies Contributed Article Amber Rinehart

Well it’s that time of year again. Time to carve pumpkins, buy too much candy and say it’s for the trick or treaters when its really for you, dress up as your favorite hero or monster and break out the horror movies. Throughout the month of October, I like to get myself ready for Halloween by watching as many scary movies as I possibly can. I find that we all go for the same movies over and over again though. Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street, The Exorist, Scream or a few other classics. This week I am recommending three forgotten scary movies you should check out if you are looking for something new. Now before I get to my list, beware that these are horror movies. Even though I recommend them, I do not recommend them for anybody under

the suggested age of the rating. These are horror movies, they are violent and gruesome and scary…and really awesome. Trick ‘r Treat My first recommendation is a straight to DVD film released in 2007 starring Anna Paquin and written and directed by Michael Dougherty. Trick ‘r Treat is rated R and features four interwoven stories that deal with all the main categories of horror, zombies, vampires, werewolves, serial killers and demons. The film’s four primary stories, take place on Halloween night in the same town, and all impact one another. The moral of the story is very simple. Those who honor and respect the traditions of Halloween will be safe, those who do not will suffer. Although this film did get some mixed reviews, the reason I believe it works is because it

does not take itself too seriously. It is told in the style of the old Tales of the Crypt and is not trying to be a serious, thought provoking, psychological thriller. It’s messy and silly and a lot of fun. 1408 Stephen King is commonly hailed as the greatest horror writer of all-time, but the films made from his classic chillers tend to be less than horrifying. In 2007, the movie 1408, written by King and starring John Cusack hit theatres. Although it did have a very successful theatre run, it tends get lost and forgotten in our age of slasher

and zombie films. 1408, rated PG-13, has a very simple plot and that’s what makes it effective. Cusack plays Mike Enslin, a non-believing, haunted house hunter. He is sent to the Dolphin Hotel, room 1408, which is said to contain an unimaginable evil. From this point on, the film turns into a traditional haunted house story. The scares feature everything from typical shock moments to truly haunting and emotionally disturbing breakdowns. 1408, pays homage to the classic horror movies by sticking with many of their motifs, but breaks out and provides new scares as well, which is what makes this movie a must see. Oh and be sure to watch the alternate ending, it is so much better than the theatrical version! Exorcism of Emily Rose The Exorcism of Emily Rose,

rated PG-13, was released in 2005 and stars Laura Linney and Tom Wilkinson. As evidenced in the title, The Exorcism of Emily Rose is revolves around the story of an exorcism. Even though many films have utilized this idea, this story is told in very unique and realistic way. After the death of college student Emily Rose, the father performing exorcism is put on trial for what is thought to be a homicide. The film features amazing acting, haunting visuals and a captivating story. What I like most is that the exorcism is not the main story, the court case is. This takes the idea of an exorcism out of the movies and into the real world. The Exorcism of Emily Rose is based on the supposed real life exorcism and death of Anneliese Michel in Germany in 1976. This connection to reality makes this film amazing and captivating and worth checking out.

Diona is returning following triumphant appearances on Season 10 of American Idol, where she performed as one of the professional background vocalists with the Idol house band, Ray Chew Live. The gifted songstress acknowledges the significance of this moment in her career. “I have been so blessed to have been a part of such prestigious and historic musical events, and to have had the honor of performing with such incredible worldfamous artists and musicians,” Diona said, “But truly, there is no place like home. I am absolutely overjoyed to return to Buffalo and perform for the people of Western New York. It’s going to be an incredible night of music along with some stage time for local performers as well. I can’t wait!” Diona’s CD Launch Concert will kick off at 8 p.m. with an unusual opening act--- WNY performers who want to jump onstage and sing in an open mic setting. Sign-up for the open mic will take place at 7 p.m. Musical accompaniment will be provided by Diona’s writing partner and husband, Russell Graham, whose résumé includes keyboard and guitar responsibilities on American Idol, Showtime At The Apollo, the BET Awards, and BET Honors. Diona is also expecting a well-known musician and personal friend to be in attendance. “I am thrilled that American Idol Music Director Ray Chew is planning to be our guest for the evening,” Diona said. “It’s really

an honor to have him present for the show and it’s a dream come true to be able to showcase Buffalo talent. I’ve been telling colleagues for years about the wealth of musical talent in my hometown. So it’s exciting to be able to showcase that talent firsthand to someone of Ray Chew’s musical genius and achievement and whose support has been instrumental to my career.” On Nothing to Prove... Something to Say, Diona has collaborated with her husband and with industry veteran Joey Diggs (vocalist and vocal arranger for Rick James) to craft a collection of songs that draw upon her Western New York roots, her Buffalo-area musical upbringing, and her New York City real-life experiences. The music features solid writing and powerhouse vocals that deliver an emotional punch, in a highly musical, groove-driven, r&b and funk style, but with a modernpop sensibility. On Pandora radio (www.pandora.com) Diona’s music is linked with such artists as Chaka Khan, Nikki Jean, Jazmine Sullivan, Faith Evans, and Sam Moore. The October 14 Tralf show will fuse Diona’s stunning blend of songwriting and vocal performances with the amazing talents of prominent Buffalo musicians Kenny Hawkins (Rick James, Teena Marie) on guitar, “Big Mike” Porter (Rick James, Joe Public) on drums, and Joey Diggs and Sharon Banks on supporting vocals. Concert tickets are $20 in advance, $24 at the door and

can be purchased at Ticketmaster (www.ticketmaster.com) or at the Tralf box office (622 Main Street, Buffalo, NY / 716-852-2860). About Tanya Diona: Tanya was born in the Dunkirk-Fredonia area and began her professional singing career when she joined a reggae group in Buffalo. Soon she was singing a variety of styles of music with numerous bands from the WNY area, eventually leading her own band and being honored twice as the Buffalo Music Awards’ “Best R&B Female Vocalist.” It wasn’t long before Tanya headed to New York City where her popularity continued as she became a well-respected performer at music institutions like the Apollo Theater, where she won numerous competitions.

I Love Lucy 60th Anniversary: Events and Exhibits

Contributed Article Sharon Bergstrom

Lucy Desi Center to host day of events, special exhibits, commemorating I Love Lucy 60th anniversary October 15 in Jamestown, NY. While Lucille Ball’s hometown celebration of the year was in August, the Lucy Desi Center announces it will host a day of commemorative events to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the first airing of the I Love Lucy show, October 15. The Center’s celebratory events were spurred by the recent decision of long time Center-supporter and Jamestown resident Greg Peterson to lend-for-exhibit a playbill - perhaps the earliest with Ball’s name - which he discovered in the historic downtown Robert H. Jackson Center. Peterson will host a brief showcase of the playbill and share how its serendipitous discovery is eerily linked to the anniversary of the iconic show that would forever infuse Ball and Arnaz into the consciousness of American culture, and the hearts and minds of millions. Peterson’s introduction and account will take place in the very auditorium in which the playbill’s show, including a young Lucille Ball, was performed. And so for those able to visit on short notice, and especially for those who may have missed the celebration in August, consider joining Lucy’s hometown to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the most successful sitcom of all time with the following day of events: Saturday, October 15, 2011 10:00 to 11:30 a.m. / $15.00 Lucy Town Bus Tour: 3rd and Main Street Start Tour Jamestown and Celoron learning the early life of Lucille Ball. The everpopular guided tour of Lucy’s hometown, birthplace, childhood home, and more. 1 ½ Hours

Keeney gives a presentation on Ball’s formative years spent in her former stomping ground, the incredible Celoron Amusement Park. 1:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. / $25.00 donation Special Collection Viewing and Photo Opportunity: Tropicana Room, 2 W. 3rd St. See one or all five of our collection’s Emmy Awards garnered by the show, along with an original script. 3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. / $15.00 Lucy Town Bus Tour: 3rd and Main Street Start.

Jackson Center, 305 E. 4th St. Jamestown resident Greg Peterson presents the playbill which features Lucille Ball for the first time as a star performer at the Scottish Rite Temple, now the Robert H. Jackson Center. Feel the spirit of a young local actress named Lucille Ball in the very auditorium in which she performed. Followed by a screen-

ing of the pilot episode of I Love Lucy along with the first episode of season one. Seating is limited. For reservations, call 716.484.0800 ext 201, or email sbergstrom@lucy-desi. com. Meal reservations must be made no later than 12 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 14. New Exhibits and Displays Rare Desi Arnaz Photographs This week the Center calls attention to two rare, neverbefore-shared photographs of a handsome young Desi Arnaz during his service in the Army in 1940 or 1941. These photos were recently acquired by private donation, and include a candid, sunny-faced Arnaz leaning out of a World War II-era plane. CBS “Studio A” Door Highlighting a special 60th anniversary year for the most successful sitcom of all time, on August 3rd the Center installed and unveiled a new permanent exhibit in the Desilu Playhouse: the door to Studio A from CBS At Columbia Square in Hollywood, the network’s West Coast headquarters from 1938 until it built CBS Television City in 1952. Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz passed through the studio door for their very first television appearance together, The Ed Wynn Show, on December 24, 1949. They would return and pass through the same doorway on March 2, 1951 to produce the I Love Lucy pilot. Now you, too, can walk through the door to the famous Studio A, and feel the magic of dozens of Hollywood stars to have done so before you, including: Gary Cooper, Frank Sinatra, Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn, Spencer Tracy, Bob Hope, and Helen Hayes. Prior to its use as a television studio, Studio A was the largest radio studio at Columbia Square. It had 1,050 seats for a studio audience and was home to many popular radio shows, including The Screen Guild Theatre, Silver

Theatre, Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy and Art Linkletter’s House Party. This exhibit is made possible thanks to the generous donation by Gregg Oppenheimer, son of I Love Lucy creator-producer-head writer Jess Oppenheimer, and coauthor of his late father’s memoir, Laughs, Luck and Lucy: How I Came to Create the Most Popular Sitcom of All Time. Santa Costume from “Missing” Christmas Episode Also new in 2011 is a temporary exhibit on display through December 31: On loan from Peter Mamonis, Jr. is a Santa suit from the famously “missing” I Love Lucy Christmas special. This show, which aired December 24, 1956, was the single episode withheld from the CBS syndication package, which is why it was never seen in reruns for the last 55 years. In this episode, the “four friends” are all dressed as Santa Claus while they decorate the tree and place gifts for Little Ricky. As they sing and decorate, suddenly, there are five Santas when Fred enters the apartment also dressed as Claus. As the friends tug each other’s beards in bewilderment, one says “ouch!” and then fades away, leaving four stunned Santa-costumed friends having beheld a Christmas miracle. Paying Tribute: Madelyn Pugh Davis On the right as one enters the Playhouse is a tribute to Madelyn Pugh Davis, the I Love Lucy writer who passed away April 22, 2011 and wrote for Lucille Ball for more than four decades. Even before I Love Lucy, Davis wrote for Lucy when she worked on the radio show, My Favorite Husband. Davis was only the second woman hired on the writing staff of CBS, and is considered a pioneer, paving the way for other women to become radio and television writers. Once I Love Lucy started, Davis, Bob Carroll and producerwriter Jess Oppenheimer wrote

the first four seasons together. Writers Bob Schiller and Bob Weiskopf joined them in 1955 and, after Oppenheimer left the show in 1956, Davis, Carroll, Schiller and Weiskopf wrote the remaining episodes. After writing I Love Lucy, Davis and Carroll wrote for The LucyDesi Comedy Hour, The Lucy Show and Here’s Lucy. They also were on board for Ball’s shortlived comeback series, Life with Lucy, in 1986, and they wrote the story for Yours, Mine and Ours, the 1968 family comedy starring Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda. Davis and Carroll received two Emmy nominations for their work on I Love Lucy and one for Here’s Lucy. A tribute: Queen of the “B” Movie Did you know that Lucille Ball was in 73 movies? New this season is a small visual tribute to Ball’s movie career, featuring ephemera from many of the films that gave Ball her reputation as “Queen of the B Movie”. Paper dolls, pay stubs and more... Some more obscure recent exhibit additions that may excite the most seasoned Lucy fans, (or any child who likes paper dolls!) include a very cool collection of Lucy and Ricky Ricardo paper dolls from the collection of Donna Wells. There has also been an original performance contract and pay stub added to the “Pepito Perez” display. Pepito Perez was the clown who was featured in the I Love Lucy pilot. These two items have been donated by Peter Mamonis Jr. The Lucille Ball Desi Arnaz Center’s Museum and Desilu Playhouse are open 7 days a week, year-round, Monday through Saturday 10 to 5, Sunday 11 to 4. For more information or to make a reservation, call 716.484.0800 ext. 201 or email sbergstrom@ lucy-desi.com.
