No-Bake Pumpkin

Cheesecake

milk until smooth, about two minutes. Stir in the pumpkin and a dash of cinnamon. Mix well. Next layer a couple of spoons full of the delicious pumpkin filling into the cups. Top with whipped cream. If desired, garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon on top. As always, thank you for reading, and happy pumpkin season!

By Katy Wise Star Contributing Writer

Pumpkin season is simply the best. Fall has always been my favorite time of year, with the leaves changing and the air getting slightly colder, bundling up with scarves but still not having to brush snow off of cars. Even when we are surprised with snow in October, such as last week, the snow doesn't last for months and months as it did last winter. One of my favorite ways to celebrate fall is with pumpkin inspired goods. Pumpkin soap, pumpkin air fresheners, pumpkin candles, pumpkin coffee, and of course, pumpkin recipes. If you are a pumpkin lover like myself, then I hope you will give these simple recipes a try and enjoy them. No-Bake Cheesecake 1 pkg. Cream cheese, softened 1 C. Canned, purĂŠed, pumpkin 1/2 C. Sugar 1/2 tsp. Pumpkin pie spice 2 1/2 C. Whipped cream, or cool whip 1 Graham cracker crust, homemade or store bought. Beat cream cheese, pumpkin, sugar and pumpkin pie spice together until

smooth. Mix in whipped cream or cool whip, and spoon into crust. Refrigerate for 3 hours or until firm and serve. Quick and easy!! Pumpkin Dessert Cups 1 pkg. Vanilla pudding mix 1 C. Cold milk 1 can PurĂŠed pumpkin 1 C. Crushed graham crackers or gingerbread crumbs Whipped cream Sugar Cinnamon (optional)

First and foremost, decide on your ingredient for your first layer. Both graham crackers and gingerbread are an excellent flavor to compliment the pumpkin, but you could also used spice or pumpkin cake crumbles. Really, the possibilities are endless. Stir about 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar into the crumbs, and layer into cups. Depending on the size of the cups that you are using, this recipe could yield anywhere between 6 large servings and 18 small servings. Using a mixer, combine the pudding mix and

Keeping the Faith

Dear Pastor, with the first debates over, and the presidential election not for another year, I think I’m already sick of politics. What’s my obligation as a Christian? While I understand your feelings of frustration, I want to caution you that this is not the time to give up or back off. Because we don’t wrestle with flesh and blood enemies (despite what it looks like), we must remember our true enemy is waiting for Believers to get passive. Ephesians 6:12 declares that Satan is an eternal and opportunistic enemy. Don’t get casual in your prayers and vigilance! The Bible tells us to pray for those in authority. In 1Timothy 2:1-4 we find out what our FIRST priority is when in comes to politics. It reads “I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; (2) For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. (3) For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior;

(4) Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.” This scripture says that an important part of our prayer life needs to be focused on those who govern as well as those in authority. It doesn’t say to pray until you get who you want in political positions. These people need our prayers more now than ever. The pressure to compromise, along with moral and ethical temptations, will be ever-present to corrupt even wellintentioned politicians. This is why we must continue to pray for our elected officials, even before ourselves or our family. This scripture tells us that if we pray our part, God would make sure we lead a quiet and peaceful life. When you see yourself as a servant of Christ and part of God’s bigger plan, you’ll be more likely to keep a better perspective when it comes to the area of politics. Regardless of what we see, there’s a much bigger plan for the country and for all the people on Earth. In the passage above, verse 14 tells us that God desires that all people come to

the knowledge of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. So do first things first and continue to pray for your nation and those in authority!

CWC Partners with Local Businesses to Give Away Lawn Mower Contributed Article CWC

The Chautauqua Watershed Conservancy will hold a Leave the Leaves Fall Giveaway in which one winner will receive a mulching lawn mower, courtesy of Everydays True Value in Jamestown. To enter the contest, participants should text the word LEAF to 31996 to sign up for CWC’s Mobile Club VIP Updates* by November 1. CWC is partnering with SlickText, a local text message marketing company, to allow supporters and donors to receive text message updates on CWC events, opportunities, and projects. The purpose of the contest is to encourage people to mulch their leaves this fall instead of bagging them or piling them at the curb. Mulching leaves provides nutrients to feed lawns, reducing the need for fertilizer. “Mulching your leaves is a great way to protect our waters,” said CWC Conservationist Tricia Bergstue. “Leaves left on the curb can wash into storm drains

or local waterways, providing the excess nutrients that fuel nuisance plant and algae growth, which interferes with boating, fishing, and swimming fun next summer.” The CWC offers free technical assistance to landowners who wish to make watershed-friendly improvements to their properties. Interested landowners can call the CWC at 716-664-2166 or email info@ chautauquawatershed.org. For more information on fall yard care, visit chautauquawatershed.org/contest.

Community Rallies Together To Remember Pat Coughlin By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

Patrick K. Coughlin was a hockey fanatic. He was also a lifelong Fredonia resident, a 1981 graduate of Fredonia High School and a former business major at SUNY Fredonia Coughlin was diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma, cancer of the bile duct, in 2009 before succumbing to the disease on July 7, 2012. It was in Coughlin’s honor and memory that Steele Hall was buzzing with action on Saturday evening. Two hockey games were held in addition to a Chinese auction, bake sale, 50-50 drawing and a t-shirt sale. Everyone playing in the games was friends and family of Coughlin, including many former teammates from Coughlin’s long playing career. “Pat was very close to the Fredonia State hockey alumni that are here tonight,” Dr. Jay Bishop noted. “We brought people in from all over that were close to Pat to play in the game. To showcase the Coughlin family, we have Billy playing in the first game. We have Joe Coughlin playing in the second game. Tommy Coughlin playing in the second game. It should be a lot of fun.” The proceeds from the event go to the Patrick K. Coughlin Scholarship Fund. “After Pat died there were a lot of people in the community that wanted to get together and do something in his memory,” Bishop added. “One of the things that came to mind was the scholarship fund. It started with the Ro Foundation and they did a Pat Coughlin memorial walk. That turned out pretty well, but in October the weather can be iffy so we decided to tap into one of Pat’s love, which was hockey. “We give scholarships to local kids and we look at the things that were important to Pat,” he continued. “Pat was a business major. He liked baseball and hockey. We looked at young individuals who embodied what Pat was all about. We’ve been able to give three or four scholarships every year.” The event featured some local celebrities getting involved. Sean Patrick McGraw not only played in the second game, but he also sang the national anthem and performed at Coughlan’s Pub, which Pat owned and operated with his brother Joe, as part of the post-game activities. Radio personality Dan Palmer was on hand to serve as master of ceremonies and announcer. “It gets emotional at times,” Pat’s daughter Tess Coughlin admitted. “I know how special he was to me, so when I see how special he was to other people and the difference he made in other people’s lives, it’s just really amazing. “If he could see this he would probably be embarrassed,” she continued. “He would say it was way too much but that he loves all of us for even thinking about doing something like this.” Pat Coughlin was an avid supporter of the SUNY Fredonia hockey program and on Saturday, head coach Jeff Meredith and his team tried to repay Coughlin’s loyalty. “The college has been absolutely wonderful,” Bishop noted. “Jeff Meredith has donated the ice and his entire hockey program to come and volunteer. “The community in general has been so supportive,” Bishop continued. “We have a great committee that has worked very hard to put this together. I can’t say enough about the volunteers. Of course, all of the donations we received were extremely generous and are greatly appreciated.” “We just want to thank everyone that ended up coming and anyone who donated,” Tess Coughlin echoed. “It means a lot to the Coughlin family.” Special thanks also go out to the Patrick K. Coughlin Scholarship Fund committee members: Tess Coughlin, Joe Coughlin, Jack Coughlin, Jimmy Coughlin, Tommy Coughlin, Lisa Parla, Jay Bishop, Greg Holt, Roberta Coniglio, Bill Shaw, Jeff Meredith, Joe Gould, Kelly Brown, Jill Zappie and Katie Brown.

Photographic Exhibit On Display At Lakewood Library Contributed Article Chautauqua County Camera Club

The Chautauqua County Camera Club is a unique mixture of local photographers with a passion for taking photographs. The skills and knowledge base range from novice beginners to very experienced professionals. They enjoy sharing their photos, as well as their knowledge, and encourage any interested photographers, regardless of skill level, to attend a meeting and find out more. The club meets monthly, on the first Wednesday of the month, to share photographs and ideas with each other. In November they will be meeting at the Harmony Historical Society building on Open Meadows Road, and in January and February they will be at the Roger Tory Peterson Institute. They offer a variety of classes and workshops throughout the year involving camera techniques and software editing of digital photographs. One of the most enjoyable aspects of the club is the “photo walks”. Recently, members of the club traveled to the Elk County Nature Center in Benezette, Pa to photograph the elk in rut and Pittsburg, PA to practice nighttime skyline photography, as well as local urban photography on First Street in Jamestown. If this sounds interesting, or you simply enjoy good photography, the club invites you to stop at the Lakewood Memorial Library during the month of November to see some of their work. If you would like to meet the club members, or find out more about their club you are invited to join them on November 10th, from 5:00 to 7:00, at the “Meet the Artists” open house at the library.

Amish Artist to Exhibit at Prendergast Library

Contributed Article Prendergast Library

The Prendergast Library Art Gallery will feature an exhibit called The Amish Art of Anna J. Weaver Oct. 23 through Nov. 27. An opening reception to meet the artist and view her work will be held from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 23 at the library. The reception is free and open to the public, and refreshments will be served. Pictures of Ms. Weaver’s work and an article about her were included in the May 2015 issue of The Connection, a monthly magazine with news and features about Amish communities across the country. She also had a three-month show of her paintings in the Holstein Gallery at the Erie Art Museum in the spring of 2014. The artist is a young Amish mother originally from Spartansburg, PA, and now living in Western New York. Her education was the typical eighth-grade level schooling in small one- and two-room rural school buildings. Since Amish schools offer no formal art training, she is self-taught, and her works reflect her own talent and abilities. Encouraged by her mother, she began painting around the age of 16 and concentrated on horses, her favorite subject at the time. Her current work reflects everyday life and memories of her childhood in a typical Amish community. A sugar house, covered bridge, wash day, milking time, spring plowing and winter logging are typical subjects of her acrylic folk art. The artist started painting Amish scenes on slate and smooth fieldstones gathered while clearing fields for planting. Most of these pieces were no larger than a softball. A local restaurateur noticed her paintings in East Branch Books, a used book store in Sherman, and commissioned her to paint a mural along the full length of one wall in a dining area. With no prior experience in mural art, she produced an Amish scene that measured 30 feet by four feet and depicted a farmhouse, sawmill and an Amish school with children playing in the yard. When Bob Rogers, proprietor of Something Unique Gallery and Frame Shop asked Ms. Weaver for the opportunity to display and sell her work, she brought in several saw blades of various sizes and shapes with typical Amish scenes painted on them, along with a few acrylic paintings on canvas. “Noted collectors of fine folk art noticed her work immediately, and most of her original pieces sell almost as fast as they come into the gallery,” Rogers said. Prints of her work are available exclusively through Something Unique. Her upcoming exhibit in Jamestown can be viewed during regular hours at Prendergast Library, where the next show will be presented by art students at The Resource Center. Prendergast Library will show acrylic folk art by Anna J. Weaver in a new exhibit starting The library is located at 509 Cherry St., Jamestown. For information, call 484Oct. 23.

Belliotti remarked that “Military and political leaders, acting on our behalf and in our name, sometimes act in ways that are incontestably condemned by the imperatives of impersonal morality, but under certain circumstances such acts prevent great harms or achieve great goods for limited constituencies to whom these agents owe special duties. In politics and elsewhere, we sense at times that a particular action is the best course to pursue, but that the efforts of our leaders nevertheless involve using means that are typically wrong. Statesmen must often transgress clear, paramount moral principles and are rightly required to do so by the demands of their positions. The paradox of being morally required by the special duties grounded in personal relationships to violate moral standards arising from impersonal morality seems irresolvable and deeply unsatisfying. This work, among other things, penetrates and unravels this paradox.” He added that Machiavelli tells us that political statesmen must love their country more than their own souls. Political leaders must often transgress clear moral principles, using means that are typically wrong, even horrifying. What sort of inner life does a leader who “uses evil well” experience and endure? The conventional view held by most scholars is that a Machiavellian statesman lacks any “inwardness” because Machiavelli did not delve into the state of mind one might find in a politician with “dirty hands.” While such leaders would bask in their glory, the argument goes, people can only wonder at the condition of the souls that they have presumably

risked in fulfilling their political duties. In “Machiavelli’s Secret,” Belliotti uncovers a range of clues in Machiavelli’s writings that, when pieced together, reveal that Machiavellian heroes most certainly have “inwardness” and are surely deeply affected by the evil means they must sometimes employ. Belliotti not only reveals the nature of this internal condition, but also provides a springboard for the possibility of Machiavelli’s ideal statesmen. Philosopher John Draeger, who evaluated the work, commented that “Belliotti identifies an important cluster of philosophical problems, including the extent to which a statesman should bend the moral rules for the collective good and what implications such

decisions might have for the statesman. Moreover, using Machiavelli to tie together this discussion both illustrates the timeless quality of the problem and provides a fresh way of thinking about the problem. The book nicely demonstrates the ways that contemporary philosophers can benefit from knowing more about history and also how historians can make use of contemporary discussions.” Belliotti’s other books address issues in jurisprudence, sexual ethics, ethnic identity, Nietzsche, the meaning of life, human happiness, philosophy and baseball, Machiavelli, Roman philosophy, posthumous harm, why philosophy matters, Dante, Shakespeare and Jesus.

New Agreement Reached With NE College of Optometry Contributed Article Fredonia

The State University of New York at Fredonia has a new affiliation agreement with the New England College of Optometry (NECO). The 3+4 agreement allows students to matriculate to NECO after their junior year. The agreement allows for high school seniors and Fredonia freshmen and sophomores to apply to the program. Students would complete the prerequisite, major and general education courses at Fredonia and then the first year optometry courses would transfer back to Fredonia, allowing students to complete their undergraduate degrees. The prerequisite courses for NECO include Biochemistry, Microbiology, Physics, Organic Chemistry, Calculus, Statistics, Psychology and English. Students also need to do well on the Optometry Admission Test (OAT), have shadowing experiences with optometrists and have a letter of recommendation from an optometrist. Interested students should contact the Fredonia Admissions Office and Dr. Ted Lee, chair of the Health Professions Advising Committee at Fredonia, at leew@ fredonia.edu.

Opera House to Present Singer/Songwriter Joe Crookston Contributed Article 1891 Fredonia Opera House

The 1891 Fredonia Opera House will present Ithaca-based singer/ songwriter Joe Crookston in concert on Friday, Oct. 23, at 7:30 p.m. The event is part of the Folk in Fredonia Music Series. Artist, writer, singer, guitar-picker, painter, claw hammer banjo-player, eco-village member and believer in all things possible, Joe Crookston will pull you into the magic and musical world he creates; and you’ll end up in the moment, humming and buzzing with the rest of the crowd. Come to a show ... you’ll ride along mystical, historical and humorous roads, and twist through personal stories along the way. Amber eyes, Oklahoma towns, rattlesnake tails, Grandmother Moons, Galway heather, meter maids and silver crowns. If you love a moving song and musical madness, Crookston delivers it all - the melodies, the lyrics, the energy and a deep passion for exceptionally well-written songs. Influenced by Tom Waits, Bob Dylan, Ani DiFranco and others, Crookston says he writes songs with “a universal story that people can connect to.” In 2007, he received a songwriting grant from the Rockefeller Foundation to travel New York state interviewing locals and writing original songs based on his travels. His song Blue Tattoo is a product of that venture. Written from the perspective of a mother explaining to her young daughter why she has a blue tattoo on her arm, it was inspired by Elmira resident and Holocaust survivor Dina Jacobson, and is the basis for a documentary film – “Blue Tattoo: Dina’s Story, Joe’s Song” – that was created and released to much acclaim in 2014. Together, Jacobson and Crookston turned the message of the Holocaust into a deeply personal experience for this, and future generations. Crookston’s latest CD, Able Baker Charlie & Dog, was awarded “Album of the Year” by the International Folk Alliance. Tickets to Joe Crookston are $17 ($15 Opera House members) and may be purchased in person at the Opera House Box Office or by phone at 716-679-1891, Tuesday-Friday, 1-5 p.m. Tickets may be purchased online at www.fredopera. org anytime. The event is part of the Folk in Fredonia Music Series, which is sponsored by The Gilman Family. The performance also is presented, in part, with support from the United Arts Appeal of Chautauqua County. The 1891 Fredonia Opera House is a member-supported not-for-profit organization located in Village Hall in downtown Fredonia.

Opera House Cinema Series to Screen “A Walk in the Woods” Contributed Article 1891 Fredonia Opera House

The next feature film in the Opera House Cinema Series is “A Walk in the Woods,” an adventure comedy starring Robert Redford & Nick Nolte. It will be screened on Sat., Oct. 24, and Tues., Oct. 27, at 7:30 p.m. In “A Walk in the Woods,” celebrated travel writer, Bill Bryson (Redford), instead of retiring to enjoy his loving and beautiful wife (Emma Thompson) and large and happy family, challenges himself to hike the Appalachian Trail – 2,200 miles of America’s most unspoiled, spectacular and rugged countryside from Georgia to Maine. The peace and tranquility he hopes to find, though, is anything but, once he agrees to being accompanied by the only person he can find willing to join him on the trek – his long lost and former friend Katz (Nolte). Katz, a down-on-his-luck serial philanderer who, after a lifetime of relying on his charm and wits to keep one step ahead of the law, sees the trip as a way to sneak out of paying some debts and into one last adventure before it’s too late. With two completely different definitions of the word “adventure,” the two are about to find out that when you push yourself to the edge, the real fun begins. Colin Colvert, in the Minneapolis Star-Tribune calls the film “warmly entertaining, as the stars gripe at each other across the country. These are characters you instantly like and want to succeed as they plod from failure to failure.” Manohla Dargis, in the New York Times, calls it “unexpectedly moving and occasionally delightful.” Jake Coyle, of the Associated Press, calls it “light on its feet, even though its geriatric woodsmen are plodding and grunting.” Moira MacDonald, in the Seattle Times notes that “Redford has said ... he had originally planned the film as a reunion for himself and Paul Newman. It’s a poignant reminder, as in this film’s best moments, that life passes by too quickly.” Rated R for language and sexual content, “A Walk in the Woods” runs 104 minutes. The Opera House Cinema Series is sponsored by Lake Shore Savings Bank. Tickets are available at the door for $7 (adults), $6.50 (seniors & Opera House members) and $5 (students) the night of each screening. A book of 10 movie passes is available for $60 at the door or online at www.fredopera.org. For more information, call the Opera House Box Office at 716-679-1891. The Series continues with “Paradise is There,” a new documentary about Jamestown native Natalie Merchant and the rerecording of her first solo album, on Oct. 31 & Nov. 3. The Opera House is equipped with individualized closed captioning headsets for the deaf as well as with assistive listening headsets for the hearing-impaired. Simply request one from any usher or Opera House staff member. Headset funding provided by Robert & Marilyn Maytum, the John Ben Snow Memorial Trust, the DunkirkFredonia Lions Club, and by a grant from Theatre Development Fund’s TAP Plus program in partnership with the New York State Council on the Arts.

CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2015

You Forgot Something

mind. It’s even easier to visualize the simple pathway to success. What we often forget to imagine are the troubles, challenges, and temptations that come along the way. At least in my own life, I’ve imagined starting a business, changing my body, and getting involved with investing as things that would come easily. I envision the pathway, and it seems so simple. I’ve come to the realization, I possess an uncanny ability to forget about prerequisites, time requirements, and sacrifices needed to be successful. I’ll admit it’s one of my character flaws. We see successful people, and imagine ourselves exactly where they are. That’s good! Picturing success is half the battle. But remember the things you don’t see; like the 10 years of blood sweat and tears these individuals have endured.

Those years often make the difference between success and failure. And don’t think I’m talking solely about finances. Success comes in many ways, and although financial achievement is a blessing, it is not the greatest form of prosperity. As Zig Ziggler says, “Money can buy you a big house, but it can’t buy you a home, it can buy you a comfortable bed, but it can’t buy you a good night sleep.” You see money is simply a tool; it can be used to build a life of generosity and giving, or one of greed and destruction. Therefore, other forms of prosperity are equally, if not more important in leading to happiness. I remember a very wise man who said “The love of money is the root of all evil.” Someone needed to hear that. To get back on topic, once we commit to a resolution we feel an instant source of gratifica-

tion, and become eager to start a new journey. This stage is exciting, and should be celebrated, but remember, at this point you’ve taken no physical action, you’ve simply formed a new thought. Thoughts that do not manifest themselves through action merely fade and die. Consequently, this resolution stays fresh in our minds for a few days, but loses its zeal with each passing hour. Then, when our walls are down, and the desire to stay faithful has faded…BAM!! We are hit with temptation. Whether it’s a piece of cake at a birthday party, a beer after work, or the opportunity to skip a workout; TEMPTATION WILL COME. How will you respond? You see, consistency is not shown during resolution formation, rather when you’re faced

Metabolic Syndrome

By Tonja Dodd Contributing Writer

Diabetes Awareness Month is coming in November and it got me thinking about Metabolic Syndrome - a condition that is a precursor, so to speak, for diabetes. Being diagnosed with metabolic syndrome can serve as a wake-up call - the moment when you realize good health is not an entitlement but a privilege and time to be grateful. Metabolic syndrome has been accepted as a medical condi-

tion for the last 20 years or so as scientists and clinicians have learned more about how heart disease and diabetes are related. It is when some vital stats or biomarkers are above the recommended optimal levels. Specifically, the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) defines it as the name for a group of risk factors that raises your risk for heart disease and other health problems such as diabetes and stroke. NHLBI describes a diagnosis for metabolic syndrome (Met S) as having at least three of the following five metabolic risk factors: • A large waistline - being apple-shaped or if you are a woman a waist measurement of 35 or more inches and a man 40 or more inches • High triglycerides - a triglyceride level of 150 mg/dL or higher • Low HDL (the good choles-

terol) - less than 50 mg/dL for women and less than 40 mg/ dL for men • High blood pressure - a reading of 130/85 mmHg or higher • High fasting blood glucose 100 mg/dL or greater (126 or greater is considered having diabetes). A doctor will order these tests and diagnose you. All of these markers are independent risk factors but together make a even stronger risk for heart disease and diabetes. There is good news - our friends, exercise and weight loss are the two key factors for eliminating Met S. Exercise improves body composition meaning less fat and more lean mass; and helps lose inches off your waist. Exercise helps the body metabolize food better and lower triglycerides. Exercise is the only thing (besides your genes and meds) that can increase your good choles-

terol. Exercise improves the cardiovascular system and so your heart and blood vessels are more efficient, improving blood pressure levels. Because exercise helps with metabolism of your food, fasting blood glucose also improves. If you lose weight, exercise helps you keep the pounds off. Losing weight improves all these factors too. Aim to lose 5 - 10% of your body weight! Two other lifestyle habits tend to crop-up in this discussion smoking and drinking. Both of those habits contribute to Met S. Quitting smoking will improve your blood pressure. As soon as you quit, blood pressure improves. Cutting back or quitting drinking improves triglycerides and helps in management of weight and in turn improves waistline and blood sugar levels. Tackle one of these behaviors to get started on reducing your

with challenges. It’s forged when you’re tired, hungry, and worn down. Here you will find out whether it’s a good thought or a true desire pushing you. Good thoughts die when tested, desires get stronger. So what do you have? Good thoughts or deep desires? Why do you seek the things for which you’re searching? Selfish reasons? Or for intentions GREATER than self? These questions matter. If I want to lose 20 pounds to look better, my desire won’t be nearly as strong as if I’m asked to lose weight so I can live longer for my children. Intention is important. It can be the difference between thought and action. That’s all the difference in the world. Fitness Will Be Greater.

Go with one you have been successful with so you can re-build your confidence, then move to the next behavior. Start with cutting back on drinking. Only have two beers on Friday every week instead of two beers, most days. Then, move to exercise. Or if you have been an avid walker, start with exercise and pledge to walk four days a week for 60 minutes and start today with 30 minutes. Finally, maybe you are going grocery shopping today - re-work your list and only buy healthy foods to get started on a better diet. Good luck.

Wine Now, Walk Later Contributed Article CBA

A summer long contest designed to motivate employees at WCA Services Corporation to get walking has benefited Chautauqua Blind Association. In an effort to provide employees with resources to live a healthier lifestyle, WCA Services Corporation provided each employee with a pedometer for EMS week in appreciation of their dedicated work. Teams were formed and the team with the most steps accumulated from Memorial Day to Labor Day were able to donate $200 to an organization of their choice. Members of team “Wine Now, Walk Later” won the contest with an outstanding 3,885,529 steps. Lisa Goodell, Executive Director of Chautauqua Blind Association was pleased to learn that the team chose to benefit Chautauqua Blind Association with their contest winnings. The donation will go directly towards the Good Vision for School Success Program for children who are 3-6 years old. The program is a collaboration between Chautauqua Blind association and volunteers from several area Lions Clubs. Chautauqua Blind Association has recently acquired a new Spot Vision Screener that has the capabilities to detect a spectrum of eye issues in young children. These issues can oftentimes lead to behavioral problems and the inability to concentrate if not detected early. This donation will help the organization continue to travel to pre-schools, head starts and kindergartens in Chautauqua County and perform eye screenings with this new piece of technology.

Student Volunteers Experience Making Farm-to-Table Soup

SUNY Fredonia students are out in the community doing a wide variety of volunteer activities. Making a soup of vegetables fresh from the Greystone Nature Preserve organic gardens was one of them. Carrots, cabbage, onions, green beans, basil, green peppers were harvested, processed and put into a soup within two hours. The soup and the extra produce will be offered to the Friendly Kitchen in Dunkirk. "It was such a rewarding experience", reported Stacy Ruby, a Communications senior from Rochester, NY. Katherine Pasquarelli, an English senior from Rock Tavern, NY was enthused and smiling even as she chopped onions and garlic. Both of these young women will go into the world next year with a sustainable skill of making home made soup. Erik Krol a senior in Exercise Science from Tonawanda, NY and Kenny Johnson, a senior from Syracuse,NY majoring in Business Management harvested the vegetables and then joined in the chopping and cooking. All four students appreciated the volunteer experience, especially the tasting of fresh vegetables. Greystone Nature Preserve is located at 8531 Bear Lake Road in Fredonia and is dedicated to preserving 70 acres of the Portage Escarpment and offering experiential environmental education to community members of all ages and ability levels. Student volunteers are treasured at the preserve. Confidential Outpatient Mental Health & Drug Addiction/ Chemical Dependency Services

History of Gerry Pottery at Valley Historical Society Contributed Article JS Sipos

The history of the Caleb Mathews pottery, once located in Gerry, was presented at the Valley Historical Society gathering recently by Town of Hanover Historian Vincent P. Martonis. Martonis, who is a retired teacher of 37 years, had a large display of Mathews pottery which he used in his history presentation. Mathews pottery was made in Gerry from about 1822 to 1855 by Caleb Mathews. Martonis said that he first visited the pottery site in 1984, and found pieces of pottery with the Mathews name on them. Many of the Mathews pieces of pottery, Martonis has purchased through sales or auctions. Some of the broken pieces of pottery were recovered, and sometimes Martonis found them in a ditch. Pottery is fragile said Martonis, and one should be careful of handling old pottery, as you never know if there is a stress crack inside not showing

which may cause breakage. Picking up a piece of pottery by the handle is never recommended he said, as the old pieces are just too fragile. The presentation was very interesting and gratitude was given to Martonis for his presentation. At the business meeting of the historical society, President Larry Barmore welcomed all, and led the group in the Lord's Prayer, and the pledge of allegiance. Secretary Mary Shearman read the minutes of the previous meeting. Treasurer John Sipos gave the financial report of the organization, including the financial details of the successful 17th annual history fair held recently. Sipos also said, that he located the original records of the historical society, and has made a copy placing them in a notebook for all to examine, since the original records are so fragile. Following the presentation, refreshments were served by one of the museum curators Bonnie Larkin. The Valley Historical Society had its

The Interactive Theatre Society is a Fredonia campus group which allows people with a passion for various aspects of theatre to test their strengths and build their skills so they can put on shows where they act within their audi-

A lot of the scenes in the Terror in the Trees performances have been and will be improvised. The cast will have general ideas of what they wish to do, but will adjust their scenes to what they find best scares the audience. Additionally, majority of Interactive Theatre Society's event profits go towards Lakeshore Humane Society, a no-kill animal shelter in Dunkirk.

The intensity was high inside First Ward Falcon Club in Dunkirk on Saturday afternoon as an arm wrestling tournament brought competitors and spectators into Western New York. “Dunkirk didn’t really have anything like this,” tournament organizer Adam Wilmot said. “I love this sport so much. I really wanted to showcase it in front of my hometown.” This was the second arm wrestling event that Wilmot has hosted and he noted that this year’s event was definitely a step up from his first endeavor. “We added super matches for this tournament,” he shared. “A super match is a best-of-three or best-of-five event. They put money on themselves to win. We’re also running an overall pull-off at the end of the day. First and second place will pull from the heaviest guy to the lightest guy for the championship belts.”

The event was officiated by Bart Wood, who is something of a celebrity in the arm wrestling business. Wood is the head referee of the World Armwrestling League (WAL) on ESPN. He was also on the special, “Game of Arms” along with Johnny Heynoski, who competed in Dunkirk on Saturday. “We have a couple local guys,” Wilmot said. “Joel Rivera is from Dunkirk. Dan Payne from Fredonia entered this year. We have a couple of Gowanda boys, too. The furthest anyone has come in from is Philadelphia. Tim Lewis came from Philadelphia to pull in one of our super matches.” “I competed in last year’s event here,” Rivera said. “I’ve always loved arm wrestling since I was a little kid. I found out I was pretty good at it. So now I just continue when I can get around to coming to a tournament. “I’m not one of those guys that trains six days a week, unfortunately,” Rivera continued. “I’ve trained with Adam and learned some new strategies. I’m hoping to get even better this year.” There were a number of competitors willing to share their sto-

FORESTVILLE, SILVER CREEK MEET FOR SIXTH ANNUAL CHARITY VOLLEYBALL GAME

By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

The annual Spike Out Cancer game between the Forestville and Silver Creek volleyball teams is one of the highlights of the season each and every year. This year, the sixth in the event’s history, was certainly no exception. The players all wore pink uniforms while the event also featured a variety of basket raffles, a 50-50 drawing, a bake sale and a t-shirt sale. “From year to year, we’ve always said it doesn’t matter if we raise $20 or $2,000,” Forestville athletic director Scott Hazelton. “As long as there’s a charity that we can provide some extra funds to, it’s 100 percent worthwhile for us to do it.” The funds raised aren’t exactly earmarked for anything in particular as they’re more distributed on a need basis. “We’ve explored quite a few different places,” Hazelton added. “We’ve given to Susan G. Komen. We’ve given to Circle of Love in Dunkirk. We’ve given to local families that are fighting battles.

ries about the intense and growing sport. “I’ve been doing this for about a year and five months,” Jake Honeker said. “I saw the guys on ‘Game of Arms’ from my hometown of Erie, Pa. and I wanted to do it. “I compete with both arms. Double the money,” Honeker added with a laugh. “The ‘Game of Arms’ show was filming and I decided to show up at one of the filming sessions,” Andrew Lavor echoed. “I started pulling then. I’m from Erie and now train with Team Relentless. “I’ve got a super match today,” Lavor continued. “It’s a best-of-five. I’m 5-foot-10, 205 pounds. He’s about 6-6, 252. I decided to step up and pull. We’ll see how it goes.” There were even a handful of women competing on Saturday, which isn’t all that uncommon in the arm wrestling circuit. “They think I’m kidding,” Nicole Roof admitted when asked what people think when she tells them she arm wrestles. “They’re like, ‘No way. That’s a guy’s sport.’ But a lot of women are getting into it. My husband has been doing it for threeand-a-half years now. I watched him and of course anything he can do, I can do. It’s a little competition.” “I went to Las Vegas and placed third in the world,” Roof continued. “I actually brought home some cash. My biggest rival here is Michelle Dugan. She’s very good so we’ll see how it goes today.” In addition to the arm wrestling competition, First Ward Falcon Club was home to a fundraiser for life-long member Wally Adamowicz, featuring a basket raffle, 50-50 drawing and t-shirt sale. “It’s just a benefit to raise some money for Wally,” Billy Barnes explained. “He’s going through a tough cancer battle now and we want to help offset some of his costs and get him the help he needs. It’s turning out really well.” “It’s overwhelming,” Wally’s daughter Stephanie Adamowicz said of all the support shown to her father. “He’s obviously well loved in the community. Everybody knows him and it’s great to see all the support.” By all accounts, the tournament was another big success. “Adam always puts on a very good tournament,” Roof said. “The food here is great. The competition is fierce. Everybody is having a good time.” Stefan Gestwicki is the sports editor of the Chautauqua Star.

FREDONIA, N.Y. -- Fredonia senior Kyle Collins (Suffern, N.Y.) has been named SUNYAC Male Runner of the Week for the second time in four weeks. Collins, a graduate of Suffern, N.Y., earned his latest award Monday off a recond-breaking run. He broke the Fredonia men's cross country 8,000 meter time with a clocking of 24:22 at the Oberlin (Ohio) Inter-Regional Rumble held Saturday. That was fifth in a field of 280 runners -- Fredonia was ninth out of 32 teams -- and took down an 8K time that has Kyle Collins (Photo courtesy of Fredonia) been atop the Fredonia record board since 1979 (Bob Carroll, 24:26). Collins's previous SUNYAC award came on Sept. 28. Collins and his Blue Devil teammates are idle this weekend ahead of the SUNYAC cross country championship meet Oct. 31 at Plattsburgh. The Blue Devils were ranked No. 10 in last week's NCAA Atlantic Regional poll. The new rankings -- prepared by the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association -- are due out Tuesday.

CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2015

SELF-PROCLAIMED EXPERT, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 27 In a weird scheduling quirk, three of the five remaining undefeated teams are on bye this week, but the other two have fun games. The Patriots play the surprising Jets while the Panthers have a primetime game against the Eagles on Sunday night. While a majority of the undefeateds aren’t in action this week, there are still a number of can’t-miss games on the docket. Without further ado, to the picks! BYE WEEK: Chicago Bears, Cincinnati Bengals, Denver Broncos, Green Bay Packers.

burner and the 49ers have to do a better job of getting the ball in his hands. Kaep finished with 340 yards and a pair of scores for his best game of the season. The Seahawks have been giving up passing yardage more than in years past, so the beleaguered quarterback might be able to keep the success going. Seattle’s losses are to teams with a combined 19-3 record. The 49ers just don’t have the talent. PICK VS. SPREAD: Seahawks (-5.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Seahawks.

Smith is still a quite a few times already.

Jacksonville was without its leading rusher T.J. Yeldon and lost leading receiver Allen Robinson to a leg injury last week, so you’ll excuse them for not having sympathy for Buffalo’s injury problems. Quarterback Blake Bortles is among the league leaders with 13 touchdown passes, but he’s also thrown seven interceptions and been sacked 17 times. Buffalo’s defense, when on, has the potential to make a quarterback’s life miserable. Jacksonville will have to find a gameplan to keep Bortles on his feet. The Bills have alternated wins and losses every week this season. Even with the injuries, I think they find a way to win this week in London. PICK VS. SPREAD: Bills (-4). STRAIGHT PICK: Bills.

TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS (2-3) at WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM (2-4) We already have a strong contender for Game No One Cares About this week. The Bucs have had arguably the league’s easiest schedule (Titans, Saints, Texans, Panthers, Jags) and yet only have two wins. This team wasn’t supposed to be good…and it’s not. It is, however, a team coming off of a bye against a team that just got throttled by two touchdowns. Having not watched much of the Bucs (because who would?), I can’t say if the team is putting rookie QB Jamies Winston in

position to succeed, but the highlights have been pretty terrible despite having serious weapons around him. The Football Team can’t seem to get the ship pointed in the right direction. They had a big upset win over the Eagles and then took the Falcons to overtime, but then get pummeled by the Jets? How does that happen? Kirk Cousins continues to throw picks and now has eight to only six scores. The running game is averaging less than four yards a carry. DeSean Jackson still hasn’t seen action. The defense has been okay with nine takeaways, but the offense has given it away 10 times. Winning the turnover battle will be big in this one. How does one pick a game so irrelevant? PICK VS. SPREAD: Bucs (+3.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Football Team.

ATLANTA FALCONS (5-1) at TENNESSEE TITANS (1-4) The Falcons danced with fire and finally got burned. I’m not sure anyone considered this team elite even when it was 5-0, but getting beat down by a inferior Saints team surely showed this probably isn’t a Super Bowl contender. However, Julio Jones seems to be fully healthy for the first time in weeks. Even with Jones hobbled for a few weeks, this CONTINUED ON PG 32

CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2015

SELF-PROCLAIMED EXPERT, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 31 is the third-highest scoring offense in the league thanks to a renewed running game. Devonta Freeman has nine touchdowns on the grounds already. The Titans’ biggest concern right now is the health of quarterback Marcus Mariota, who was hit low against the Dolphins and suffered a sprained MCL. Coach Ken Whisenhunt is optimistic, but coaches usually are. His status will be something to watch during the week of practice. Even having just one win, the Titans are just 1.5 games back in the division. Crazy. The Falcons are well rested after a Thursday game last week. The spread seems far too small. PICK VS. SPREAD: Falcons (-4). STRAIGHT PICK: Falcons.

NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (2-4) at INDIANAPOLIS COLTS (3-3) The Saints at least temporarily saved their season by handing Atlanta its first loss of the season last Thursday. They’ll look to get their first road win of the campaign after losing their first three away from New Orleans by a combined 39 points. Not everything in the Thursday’s win was perfect and the team has replaced struggling kicker Zach Hocker with veteran Kai Forbath. More importantly, Drew Brees’ shoulder had 10 days to heal between games. Maybe we’ll see him throw some deep balls in this one. The Colts are the laughingstocks of the NFL after that fake punt play against New England. Wow that was awful. Almost as awful as the AFC South, which has a combined record of 7-16 and only figures to get worse. The Colts (whose three wins are against each of the other division teams) are still in first despite playing some terrible football. After this game, Indy plays at Carolina, home to the Broncos and then in Atlanta. Those three teams have a combined record of 16-1. The Colts have to have this game. It’s hard to envision the Colts winning this game for some reason. Call it a hunch. PICK VS. SPREAD: Saints (+5). STRAIGHT PICK: Saints.

MINNESOTA VIKINGS (3-2) at DETROIT LIONS (1-5) With both of the other NFC North teams on bye this week, all eyes will be on this game. The Vikings got an ugly win last week after Adrian Peterson picked up just 60 yards on 26 carries. He even fumbled once, though the Vikings recovered. The Lions have given up 10 rushing touchdowns and over 120 yards per game on the ground this season, so expect the Vikings to keep giving it to Peterson despite the putrid game last week. They’ll need to as the Minnesota passing game ranks dead last in the NFL. The Lions passing game, on the other hand, was finally clicking against the Bears. Matthew Stafford, one week after getting benched, threw for 405 yards and four touchdowns. He even ran for 37 yards. Calvin Johnson looked like his old self with 166 yards on just six receptions. Clearly the Lions’ best chance of winning lies in chucking the ball deep to Megatron. Why haven’t they been doing just that? There’s a big talent difference between the Bears defense and this Vikings defense, however. The Vikings are 3-0 at home and 0-2 on the road. They’re probably the better team, but I’ll follow the trend. PICK VS. SPREAD: Lions (+2.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Lions.

PITTSBURGH STEELERS (4-2) at KANSAS CITY CHIEFS (1-5) The Steelers were blessed with a Michael Vick injury last week just in time for Landry Jones to lead them to a much-needed win. If the playoffs started today, the Steelers would actually be in as a wild card despite missing Ben Roethlisberger for most of the season. Vick was horrendous. That

absolutely had to be his final shot in the NFL, right? Of course, Big Ben might be coming back this week, so Jones might not get his shot either. No matter who starts at quarterback for Pittsburgh, they’re going to be playing against a Chiefs team that has all but given up on the season. After losing star running back Jamaal Charles to a season-ending knee injury two weeks ago, the Chiefs looked like a team running out the clock in last week’s loss. Not only that, but they’re a much worse team without Charles. Kansas City hasn’t even won at home this season. It’s just a lost cause for the Chiefs. The Steelers are feeling better and better about their season as the weeks go by. Mike Tomlin has to be the Coach of the Year in the NFL. PICK VS. SPREAD: Steelers (even). STRAIGHT PICK: Steelers.

CLEVELAND BROWNS (2-4) at ST. LOUIS RAMS (2-3) The Browns are coming off of two straight overtime games. One was an exciting win over a division rival while the other was a disappointing loss to the undefeated Broncos. After struggling with the Broncos’ tight defense, Josh McCown is going to have to stare into the face of perhaps the best defensive line in football. With no run game to slow down that pass rush, Cleveland could be in some trouble. To make things worse, the Browns have allowed 22 sacks already, so it’s already a weakness. St. Louis had a nice bye week. Of course, like every team, the Rams used the time to get healthier, but they also watched both the Cardinals and the Seahawks lose, which tightened up the NFC West. The St. Louis offense certainly needs to improve as it’s 31st in both passing yards per game and points per game. Of course, that was mostly done without Todd Gurley, who has proven to be an exciting and valuable weapon as a rookie running back. Sadly, the story surrounding this game is probably the upcoming meeting about a team moving to Los Angeles.

My guess: the Rams move. PICK VS. SPREAD: Browns (+5.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Rams.

HOUSTON TEXANS (2-4) at MIAMI DOLPHINS (2-3) Behind a potent passing attack (and by passing attack, I mean “DeAndre Hopkins”), the Texans are actually only one game out of first place in the AFC South. With just under 300 passing yards per game, the Texans have the fourth most potent aerial attack in the league. Now Brian Hoyer has officially been named the starter at quarterback. That can only help the continuity and confidence of this year. The defense needs someone else to step up besides J.J. Watt. Watt only has one sack in the last four games because he’s been the only threat to opposing offenses. Surely the Dolphins will give Watt the necessary attention, but their offensive line has been the weak link for this team. Perhaps the emergence of Lamar Miller and the running game can help with that pass protection and keep defenses honest. Miller picked up 119 yards and a score on just 19 carries last week. In fact, the entire Dolphins looked rejuvenated under new head coach Dan Campbell. This will be Campbell’s first home game as head coach and I’d expect to see even more energy from his team. Both of these teams looked refreshed and dangerous last week. The Dolphins simply have more talent. PICK VS. SPREAD: Dolphins (-4). STRAIGHT PICK: Dolphins.

NEW YORK JETS (4-1) at NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS (5-0) Jets fans are going bonkers and rightfully so. Very few people expected this CONTINUED ON PG 32

CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2015

SELF-PROCLAIMED EXPERT, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 32 team to be anything but mediocre, yet this game is for first place in the AFC East. It's important to pump the breaks here. The Jets have beaten the Browns, Colts, Dolphins and the Washington Football Team. That was when both the Colts and Dolphins were terrible, keep in mind. It’s good that they have confidence going into this game, but they’re still running out Ryan Fitzpatrick against Tom Brady. The Pats didn’t look totally dominant in last week’s win, but they still improved to 5-0 and started the undefeated season talk. They face arguably the league’s best defense in the Jets. It’s funny to say because he’s still been a beast, but Rob Gronkowski has been slightly quiet since his three touchdowns in Week 1. Clearly the Patriots aren’t struggling on offense, but you’d think they’ll want to get the ball in Gronk’s hands more often, perhaps especially to avoid Darrelle Revis on the other side of the ball. It’s the league’s top scoring defense against the league’s top scoring offense. Of course, the Pats aren’t too shabby on defense, either. That’ll make the difference. PICK VS. SPREAD: Patriots (-10). STRAIGHT PICK: Patriots.

OAKLAND RAIDERS (2-3) at SAN DIEGO CHARGERS (2-4) The Raiders better be ready for the Chargers passing the ball…a lot. San Diego threw the ball an astounding 65 times against Green Bay last week. You know the Raiders were watching that game as they sat at home on their bye week. Derek Carr can throw the ball a little bit, too. His passer rating of 93.9 is more than impressive for the secondyear signal caller. The Oakland run game still could use a boost, but Latavius Murray has at least given them a steady, albeit unexplosive, hand. How about Charles Woodson with four picks already? He’s a self-proclaimed expert favorite. How the Chargers managed to put up 500 passing yards and only 20 points is still a mystery to me. The Chargers face a pretty easy schedule for the foreseeable future with Baltimore,

Chicago, Kansas City and Jacksonville following up Oakland. On paper, that looks like five straight wins, setting up a great game with Denver on Dec. 6. As for this one, the Chargers need Melvin Gordon to right the ship. His fumbling issues combined with relatively poor output in the ground game are the main reasons that San Diego only has two wins. You know Oakland will be looking to strip the ball. The Raiders are coming off the bye and have been competitive this year, but the Chargers are going to be playing with desperation in this one. PICK VS. SPREAD: Chargers (-4). STRAIGHT PICK: Chargers.

DALLAS COWBOYS (2-3) at NEW YORK GIANTS (3-2) Once again, the NFC East is decidedly mediocre. While that sounds like a bad thing, it actually makes every division game a whole lot of fun. This one is no exception. The Cowboys are coming off their bye and Jerry Jones actually wouldn’t rule out Dez Bryant in this game. While that seems like an awfully long shot, it’s good to know the stud receiver is making progress. Matt Cassel will get his first crack at being the Cowboys starting quarterback. He can’t possibly be worse than Brandon Weeden was. The Giants got embarrassed by the Eagles on Monday Night Football last week. Penalties and turnovers were the name of the game. This week’s game is critically important, so they’ll have to tighten things up. The Giants coming off a short week against a team coming off its bye. I wish the NFL would be more aware of these situations. New York has just eight sacks on the season, so that defensive line will have to increase the pressure and make Cassel uncomfortable, especially with top cornerback Prince Amukamara set to miss a few weeks. The self-proclaimed expert is no Eli Manning fan, but he’s leagues better than Matt Cassel. PICK VS. SPREAD: Giants (-3). STRAIGHT PICK: Giants.

Kenseth Rufuses To Call Kansas ‘Must-Win’ Situation By Dave Skretta AP Sports Writer

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) -- Matt Kenseth walked quietly into the interview at Kansas Speedway, sat behind a microphone, and was asked to reflect on last year's Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. ''I can hardly remember last week,'' he replied, ''much less last year.'' Probably a good thing. Just about everything that could go wrong for Kenseth did a week ago at Charlotte, from pit-road penalties to rubbing the wall. He ultimately finished so far off the lead that his Chase hopes took a major hit, and now he arrives at Kansas in desperate need of a victory that would guarantee him one of the eight spots in the ''eliminator'' round. If not this week, then next at Talladega - an even bigger wildcard track. ''For me it's really no different. We try to show up and try to do the best we can every week,'' Kenseth said. ''Same this week. Obviously a win moves you on, but I don't think this is a must-win. Just try to do the best we can and be ready on Sunday.'' Kenseth has every reason to be optimistic this weekend. Start with the fact that he's won twice at Kansas, has sat on the pole twice more, and put together six top-five finishes at the speedy mile-and-a-half tri-oval. He's led more than 500 laps in all, and has been in the top 10 in nine of his past 10 starts. Then, consider that his five victories this season are the most of any driver, and that his Joe Gibbs Racing stable won 13 times in all, more than any other team. So, does all that positive karma combined with his back-against-the-wall situation mean Kenseth - who will start 11th on Sunday is more apt to take some chances in the 400-mile race? ''The rewards are greater if you win, obviously. I don't know if the penalty is worse or not'' if a risky maneuver fails, he replied. ''From what happened last week, we had a lot of things that got us to where we are, had a lot of things go wrong.'' The former series champion won the pole and led 72 laps at Charlotte, but he tangled with Ryan Newman in Turn 4 and damaged his suspension. After a myriad of other problems trying to get his car straightened out, his right tire went down and he made hard contact with the wall. As a result, he dropped from first in points heading into the race to last among the drivers in the Chase, the 42nd-place finish ramping up the anxiety level over the next two weeks.

failed to clean up oil that Justin Allgaier's car sprayed on the track. Series officials said there was no oil on the upper line where Earnhardt was running, but the whole argument was moot: He wound up finishing 28th and dropped to 11th in the standings. Unlike Kenseth, Earnhardt admitted that he faces a must-win situation at Kansas. ''We ain't got nothing to lose,'' he said. ''Just go out there and run hard and try to win races and try to run up front. We're not close enough to the top eight or whatever - we're not close enough to sort of have a strategy. We're just going to go out there and race.''

Logano May Finally Be Tough Enough To Win A Title

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- There was a time not so long ago when it was easy to pick on Joey Logano. He was tongue-lashed by Tony Stewart, Kevin Harvick and Ryan Newman. He feuded for weeks with former teammate Denny Hamlin and was cast as the bad guy when hard racing between the two ended in a hard crash that broke Hamlin's back.

Come to the Strunk Road Adoption Center and meet your new best friend. Regular adoption criteria applies. Please call (716) 665-2209 ext. 0 for more information.
