The Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation’s (NCCF) Project BICEP is hosting a workshop facilitated by John Chamberlain titled “Organizational Communications for Nonprofits.” This workshop is scheduled for Thursday, March 31, 2016, from 10 a.m. to noon at the Fredonia Technology Incubator on Central Avenue in Dunkirk.

Ever feel you aren’t sure what your work objectives and goals are? Ever address a question or issue and think it is resolved only to discover later that other people involved have quite different understandings of the resolution? This workshop will help participants analyze workplace communications processes and the types of engagements an organization may encounter. Participants will be encouraged to identify communication challenges while considering changes for clearer, more precise, and improved outcomes.

By the end of the session, participants will have a greater understanding of the dynamics of the communication process; what is needed to communicate in the workplace, suggested steps to improve effectiveness by clarifying messages, a clearer understanding of others, and collecting and evaluating feedback.

John holds a Bachelor of Science from Cornell University and a Master of Science in Education from SUNY Fredonia. He has conducted and managed employee and corporate communications as well as media and governmental affairs activities in the areas of radioactive waste management and environmental remediation.

He has also taught business writing, communications, and strategic planning at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

Registration is required as space is limited. For more information and to register for this training, contact Eileen Dunn, NCCF Program Coordinator at 366-4892 or edunn@nccfoundation.org by March 25, 2016.

The NCCF, celebrating 30 years of charitable leadership, is committed to improving the community through the promotion of local philanthropy, strategic grantmaking, and community leadership. Served by a small staff and governed by an all-volunteer board of directors, the organization has distributed over $11.7 million in the form of grants and scholarships within the community. Truly community in nature, the NCCF is an organization created by and for the people of northern Chautauqua County. For more information, visit www.nccfoundation.org or call 716-366-4892.

Audubon Photography Contest Adds New Category Contributed Article Audubon Nature Center

Now in its sixth year, the Audubon Nature Center’s 2016 Nature Photography Contest is designed to encourage anyone who enjoys doing photography – from beginners to professionals – to enter their images for consideration by the June 30 deadline.

“Part of our mission is to connect people with nature,” said Nature Center program director and contest coordinator Jennifer Schlick. “The photo contest helps us fulfill that mission in two ways: The photographer connects with nature while making images, and the viewer becomes inspired to connect with nature by seeing the images.”

The contest gives photographers an outlet to share their work and have it judged, while also raising funds to support the many education programs of the Nature Center.

“We’re excited to be adding a new category to the contest this year that will be of particular interest to area residents,” Schlick added.

Prizes will be awarded in four categories and two divisions. The Youth Division is for ages 8-18 or still in high school; Adult is 18 and over or post-high school.

Youth and Adult winners in the categories of Landscapes, Plants (including trees, fungi, lichens, mosses, etc.), Wildlife (animals in their natural habitats), and – for the first time -- Jamestown Audubon Nature Center (photos taken in the building or on the grounds that exemplify the Nature Center experience) will each receive a $100 cash prize.

Images of winners and finalists from previous Nature Photography Contests can be viewed at www.jasphotocontest.com, where full details for the competition can also be found.

Advanced Science Students Judge Chautauqua Lake Science Fair

Contributed Article CLCS

Students from the Regents Physics class at Chautauqua Lake Central School recently served as judges for the district’s annual elementary Science Fair, teaming up to interview the fifth graders about their projects. To select the prize-winning projects, the older students asked questions to determine creative ability, scientific thought, thoroughness, skill and clarity, dramatic value, accomplishment of purpose, and presentation.

After judging was completed, future teachers studying at SUNY Fredonia also visited the Fair. The college students are learning about science education from teacher Kim Weborg-Benson, who also serves on the school board at Chautauqua Lake. To better understand what the students are capable of, the Fredonia students interviewed the fifth grade scientists and viewed the displays.

Award winners were announced in a school assembly. The grand prize went to Alex McKee’s project, “Nail Polish Price vs. Quality: The Chemistry Behind It.”

First place winners were Natalie Gilkinson for “The Maze of Frustration” and Olivia Herington and Jenna Waters, who teamed up on a tornado simulator.

Second place went to Parker Gilmore’s project, “Keep Cool!” and to Ethan Testa, whose experiment demonstrated “The Surprising Strength of Egg Shells.”

Hunter McCaslin earned a third place finish for “Magical Moving Colors,” with another third place honor going to Logan Tarr, whose project documented the difference between a tetra fish and a Danio GloFish, the only genetically modified animal publicly available in the United States.

Projects by Hallie Boardman, Dylan Cole, Evan Flurie, Hannah Group, Hedgie Meadows, Jonah Reyda, Bradley Smith and Jessiely Woods received honorable mentions.

Science projects by students in Pre-Kindergarten through sixth grade were displayed in the corridors throughout the school. Teacher Shari Tennies coordinates the annual educational event. Steven Johnston teaches the physics students who judged the fifth grade projects.

Fifth Annual Grow Jamestown Garden Fair and Home Show Vendors and Workshop Schedule Available Now Contributed Article JRC

The vendor list and workshop schedule for the fifth annual GROW Jamestown Garden Fair and Home Show, presented by Mike’s Nursery, is now available.

With more than 50 vendors and 15 workshops lined up by the Jamestown Renaissance Corporation, the free community event offers fun for all ages.

The GROW Jamestown Garden Fair and Home Show takes place on Saturday, April 2, at the Jamestown Savings Bank Arena from 11 am to 5 pm. Admission to the event and all workshops is free.

“We have come a long way from our humble beginnings at the Renaissance Center in previous years,” said Edwin Rodriguez Jr., events and marketing associate for the Jamestown Renaissance Corporation. “We used to have 15-17 vendors. This is our fifth year and we have 54 total vendors. Our event is the only true garden and home show in the greater Jamestown area. No other event features home and garden education and hands-on activities the way we do,” said Rodriguez. Vendors scheduled to attend include nurseries, contractors, landscape designers, craft vendors, food vendors, neighborhood clusters, and more.

Another key feature of the GROW Jamestown Garden Fair and Home Show is the educational workshops hosted by the Cornell Cooperative Extension Master Gardener Program of Chautauqua County and countless other area professionals. The knowledge and experience of the presenters helps make the event special. This year’s workshops, 15 in total, focus on gardening and home improvement.

Workshop topics for 2016 are as follows: • Front Yard Design • Energy Conservation In Your Home • Raised Garden Bed Construction And Care • Tree Selection And Planting • Help With Your “Honey Do” List Q&A With A Contractor

• Seed Starting and Vegetable Gardening • “Deer In My Dahlias, Voles In My Turnips” - Prevent Wildlife Damage In Your Garden • Home Improvement Through Weatherization – More Than Just Windows • Ask-A-Master Gardener Panel Discussion • Native Plants - Why Pre-Columbus Plants Are Good For Your Garden • Saving The Harvest - Canning and Freezing Basics • Gardening For Every Body - Tools And Techniques For All Abilities • Rain Garden Design, Installation, And Maintenance • Lead Safe Renovations In The Home • Developing A Landscape And Planting Plan “We have definitely taken our workshop topics to a new level from previous years,” said Mary Maxwell, neighborhood associate for the Jamestown Renaissance Corporation. “We had a lot of requests over the years. People wanted more information that pertained to the area in which we live. The Master Gardeners, event volunteers, and all of our other professionals involved have worked hard to make sure this year’s workshops are educational and fun,” said Maxwell.

The GROW Jamestown Garden Fair and Home Show is presented by Mike’s Nursery. Owner Mike Krauth and his staff will be giving away free tomato seedlings to every show attendee while supplies last. Also, the first 1,000 people to the event will receive a free reusable grocery tote courtesy of Wegmans in Jamestown. The event is also graciously sponsored by Lakeshore Paving, Clark Patterson Lee Design Professionals, RSVP, Cornell Cooperative Extension Master Gardener Program, The Resource Center, Rhoe B.

By Katy Wise

They have this natural liquid absorption that is just so much fun with paint or markers.

You can use water colors or markers with water.

Really, there are plenty of things you could use, but these seem to work the best.

First, prepare a drying station. This is where you will transfer your coffee filters to when they're drippy and wet.

I would suggest paper towels. Newspaper might transfer the print onto your filters.

If you use markers, you can make marks or even draw dots on the filters and then spray with water.

There are two ways to do the shapes... You can either cut them before coloring or after. I've tried both and I honestly didn't see much of a difference.

If you aren't a confident scissor master, I'm totally not either, then you may want to cut before hand.

This way you don't ruin any of your masterpieces with cutting mishaps.

You can do any shape you want really. Crosses, flowers, eggs, letters that spell 'Happy Easter,' etc. Anything you can cut!

And bonus for this craft is quick and easy cleanup.

A Taste for Every Palate

MAPLE WEEKEND 13 CONGRADULATIONS!

Maple Weekend

Did you know that there are approximately 300 different natural flavor compounds found in pure maple syrup?

In fact, it’s not unusual to experience distinctive tastes such as sugar, caramel, vanilla, chocolate, coffee, nuts, butter or honey. Typical of most natural products, maple syrups have complex flavors that are often detectable by taste and smell.

That delicious maple flavor can change depending on the region from which the syrup is harvested. Items that can impact flavor include soil type, weather conditions, tree genetics and more. But no matter where the sap is collected, the end result is a syrup that’s healthier than today’s imitation syrup products typically found in most grocery stores.

When it comes to flavor intensity, much can be learned from the syrup’s color; the darker the syrup, the stronger the flavors. The grades are Light Amber (golden color, delicate maple flavor), Medium (amber color, rich maple flavor), Dark (dark brown color, ro-

Lincoln Coin Wars Raises $400 for JHS Senior Travis Fye Contributed Article JPS

Lincoln Elementary School recently held its 4th Annual Coin Wars. This year, the school raised $400 for JHS senior, Travis Fye, who has been battling thyroid cancer and attended Lincoln School as a third and fourth grader. The third and fourth grade students voted to donate the money to Travis. In previous years the school has donated to: The Salvation Army, Chautauqua County Humane Society and St. Susan’s Center.

Students and staff collected coins in containers in the cafeteria for two weeks during breakfast and lunch. The school raised $316 and the Lincoln PTA rounded the donation up to $400. The second grade raised the most money - $163.

“It is important to do this when we are second graders because when we get grown-up we learn to be good people and help others,” said Lincoln second grader, Natalie Wilson.

The students presented a check to Travis and his family who were very appreciative of the donation.

“It’s great that the students did this for me and, that they are thinking about helping individual people in their local community,” said Travis. “It is a very thoughtful of these kids and shows they really care and want to help. I am very thankful for their donation.”

Blue Star Mothers Complete East Care Project Contributed Article Kathleen Collver

The Blue Star Mothers NY Chapter 4 recently completed the 2016 Easter Care Package Project with 166 care packages sent to military men and women deployed around the world. This was accomplished through the generous support of the community through financial and material donations, including an anonymous donation of 400 boxes of Girl Scout cookies and a financial donation made by the Jack Carlson Memorial Run held in August of 2015. Donations big and small have made the success of the Blue Star Mothers drives possible, as evidenced by the 507 care packages sent at Christmastime and the 166 at Easter, totaling 673 boxes filled with goodies and sentiments from home. Schools, scouting organizations, youth groups, day-hab centers and churches have continued to provide handmade cards and letters which are included in these packages and are tremendously appreciated by the troops.

Since its inception during WWII, the Blue Star Mothers organization has existed to provide support for active duty service personnel, to promote patriotism, and to assist veterans’ organizations in our community. As proud mothers of the men and women who are ready to fight for the freedoms of this nation, the Blue Star Mothers look for ways to encourage and support U.S. troops while supporting each other along the way.

In addition to supporting the troops, this chapter of the Blue Star Mothers has recently been involved in

Farm Fresh Foods Donates to Fletcher School’s PBIS Program Contributed Article JPS

Fletcher Elementary School recently received a generous donation of snacks from Farm Fresh Foods’ owner, Dan Brown, in conjunction with Frito Lay and Crown Snack Foods. The snacks will be added to the schools’ Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) carts in the school store as rewards for good student behavior. PBIS is a program that is implemented across Jamestown Public Schools to promote and teach positive behaviors across settings.

As part of their PBIS Program, Fletcher Elementary School has a unique “Bee Patrol.” Classroom teachers or special area teachers nominate Fletcher students for Bee Patrol each month. Students are chosen because they are exceptional demonstrators of the PBIS values of being safe, responsible and respectful in all areas of the school. The Bee Patrol students are then given the recognition and responsibility of acting as role models for their classmates. They hand out gold tickets to their classmates when they notice positive behaviors in the hallways, classroom and cafeteria. At the end of the month, students are able to use their tickets to shop at Fletcher’s school store.

The PBIS team (Travis Knight, Gillian LaMancuso, Susan Carlson, Brenda Chandler, Ashley Calla, and Molly Frushone) is very appreciative to Mr. Brown and to Frito Lay and Crown Snack Foods for their generous donation of snacks for the school store. The students are very excited about having these items as shopping choices. As part of their PBIS reward system, Fletcher School welcomes community members’ involvement, as well as getting support from community businesses in this endeavor.

“We want the students at Fletcher exposed to positive role models in the community and to learn the importance of working with community members,” said the Fletcher PBIS Team. “Dan Brown has provided our school with a donation which will be a huge help in keeping our school store exciting and successful for the remainder of the school year!”

Opera House Cinema Series To Screen “Hail, Caesar!”

Contributed Article Fredonia Opera House

The next feature film in the Opera House Cinema Series is the satirically comic “Hail, Caesar!,” the latest film from writing/directing duo Joel and Ethan Coen. It will be screened on Sat., Mar. 19, and Tues., Mar. 22, at 7:30 p.m.

In “Hail, Caesar!,” it is the early 1950s in Hollywood.

Eddie Mannix ( Josh Brolin) is a studio “fixer,” busy at work trying to solve all the problems of the actors and filmmakers at Capital Pictures. His latest assignments involve a disgruntled director, a singing cowboy, a beautiful swimmer and a handsome dancer. As if these didn’t provide enough issues, he faces his biggest challenge when studio headliner Baird Whitlock (George Clooney) is kidnapped while in costume and held for ransom. If the studio doesn’t pay $100,000, it’s the end of the line for the movie star.

“Hail, Caesar!” also stars Scarlett Johansson, Ralph Fiennes, Channing Tatum, Jonah Hill and Tilda Swinton.

Bruce Kirkland, in the Toronto Sun, calls the film “a sly satire, stacked with an all-star cast led by George Clooney, Josh Brolin and Scarlett Johansson, and packed with details about how the 1950s Hollywood studio system operated in all its self-indulgent glory in that era.” Kenneth Turan, in the Los Angeles Times, calls it “a hipster mash note to the way things used to be, it will put a smile on your face and keep it there for the duration.” Peter Travers, in Rolling Stone, calls it “a wild whoosh of Coen brothers wizardry that left me laughing helplessly.” Bruce Truitt, in USA Today, says “the combination of the Coen brothers’ filmmaking acumen and George Clooney in absolute buffoon mode is Hollywood magic.” Rated PG-13 for some suggestive content and smoking,

“Hail, Caesar!” runs one hour, 46 minutes.

The Opera House Cinema Series is sponsored by Lake Shore Savings Bank. Additional support comes from the United Arts Appeal of Chautauqua County, the Arts Services Initiative of WNY Inc., and the Give for Greatness program. 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 716679-1891.

The Opera House is equipped with individualized

Simply request one from any usher or Opera House staff member.

Sensory Winery and Art Gallery will be opening a new show on Friday, April 1, featuring the artwork of Cecelia Ivy Price, art therapist at Gowanda Rehabilitation and Nursing Center, and member of the 2016 Chautauqua – Lake Erie Art Trail. Guests can meet the artist at the opening reception from 7 to 9 p.m. in the newly remodeled gallery, which features wine and beer tasting.

Entitled, “Eclectic Selection” Price’s exhibit will run from March 20 through May 8, showcasing the paintings and conceptual works that have won her praise and awards for the past five years. The gallery is located at 10593 W Main Rd., Ripley. Gallery hours are Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Price’s paintings, notable for their perfect finish, tactile nature, and mastery of the human form, bear witness to great craftsmanship. Nudity is a subject she often turns to express ideas related to vulnerability, social awkwardness, life and death, racism, shame, vanity, and personal loss. “My works are responses to my environment and everyday experiences, but I use them as a starting point to involve the viewer in a way that I hope is personal,” she said.

Price is a member of the Board of Directors of the North Shore Arts Alliance (NSAA) and works out of her studio at the Historic Gatehouse on 57 Lambert Street in Fredonia. Her studio will be one of the featured stops on the 2016 Chautauqua-Lake Erie Art Trail May 28 and 29, and August 20 and 21.

She graduated with honors from SUNY Fredonia in 2015, where she received five significant awards and scholarships in her senior year, includ-

ing the Rosa Parks Memorial Scholarship, an international award to study in Italy, and a teaching assistantship in Professor Alberto Rey’s drawing and painting class.

A Buffalo native, she earned an associate’s degree from Niagara County Community College, where she garnered more awards, including the NCCC Excellence in Fine Arts Award.

In 2014, she presented the one-person show, “Dangerous,” at the Rockefeller Arts Center at SUNY Fredonia. The theme of this show, “Healing Through Self-Expression: ‘Dangerous.’” was the subject of a talk she was invited to present at the 2015 SUNY Undergraduate Research Conference in Brockport and at SUNY Fredonia.

She has completed a study abroad in Italy and has started working from photographs she took while away.

Some artists who influence her include Roberto Ferri, Shawn Barber, & Brom.

Cecelia 'Ivy' Price currently lives and works in Fredonia, NY where her studio is also located, inside of Forest Hill Cemetery at the Gate House.

Why Haven’t You Been Able To Lose Weight?

you to hear of a program, it must’ve been successful at some point, because people are using it! Realize when I say “lose weight fast” programs have been successful, I mean in the task of helping people lose weight; I am by no means saying they are healthy or advantageous to use. Now you may say, “I’ve tried everything!!

And nothing worked for me”, which may be true, but that doesn’t mean it hasn’t worked for others. Yes, it is unfortunate

Regardless of what people think, “lose When I am evaluating the diet weight fast” programs have of a client who is overweight, worked for people in the past, but logs their food choices to and will continue to work for be nutritious and wholesome, a more in the future. It’s a simple few things pop into my mind. observation, but in order for One thought is; they’re lying.

The second; they’re NOT eating enough.

It seems counterintuitive, not eating enough makes you gain weight, but science now consistently proves this to be so. Bodies need calories to function; they are the equivalent of gasoline to a car. When your car is out of gas, it doesn’t move. When your body is low on calories, it does the same.

Your body needs fuel even when you do nothing but watch the Bills lose another close game in the 4th quarter (Maybe this year will be the year ).

In fact, it needs a high amount of calories to simply stay alive. This is known as “Basal Metabolic Rate” or the calories you need to keep your body functioning fully. BMR will vary greatly from person to person, and is dependent on a wide range of variables including: age, sex, muscle mass, and body weight. Depending on the

research you study, BMR will stay around 1,600 calories/day for males and 1,400 calories/ day for females who are middle aged (Livestrong.com).

So what’s the big deal if you don’t eat a sufficient amount of calories? Well, when your body doesn’t get enough fuel, it moves into starvation mode, thinking it needs to store energy in the case of an emergency. When this happens, you use muscle for fuel (Leading to a decrease in lean muscle mass), and store fat as a reserve of energy. That’s a double whammy! And the start to a serious down-cycle of fitness destroying effects. When lean muscle mass decreases, your body burns fewer calories, meaning more of what you eat will be converted to fat. On top of this, your metabolism (calories burned by normal cell processes in the body) will begin to plummet, which leads to

problems such as “Balloon Dieting” as you return to eating a sufficient amount of calories.

So what can you do to ensure you’re eating enough?

• Track calorie intake for a week. The thought of this make some people cringe (I’m one of them) but it is incredibly useful for finding baseline calorie consumption. Once you have a consistent reading, you’re able to adjust intake congruently, but never decrease more than 300 calories at a time. Instead, remove a small amount each week as you will better be able to tell the calorie level your body best responds to.

• Eat at least three meals per day. Some people are able to take in 2,000+ calories in a single meal, if you aren’t one of them multiple meals is the route for you. Not only will this spread your calorie inCONTINUED ON PAGE 21

This year’s Ag Literacy week is centered around apples - New York State is ranked second nationally in production of apples. Apples provide over 17,000 direct and indirect jobs, and there are over 680 apple producers on 55,000 acres across the state. New York state school students will be read the story, The Apple Orchard Riddle by Margaret McNamara and Illustrated by G. Brian Karas. This book was selected as the 2015 American Farm Bureau Foundation for Education’s Book of the Year the story shares the journey of Mr. Tiffin’s class on a field trip to an apple orchard.

As a health educator what I like about the Ag Literacy week is that it focuses on whole foods and discusses the entire food system related to that food. For instance, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans

recommends Americans eat whole fruits and that ½ the daily consumption of grains be whole grains. Whole foods are not processed and typically have more nutrients and lower in added sugar, fats and salt all of which the Dietary Guidelines recommend be limited.

Also understanding the entire food system helps individuals appreciate the food they eat, be mindful when eating and thus, less likely to overeat.

There are similar movements like the Farm to Table or Farm to Fork - it was started in large cities where restaurateurs grow, harvest and prepare their own food for customers to eat based on the philosophy that food tastes better when ingredients are home-grown, home-made and not mass produced. Moreover, consumers concerned with health are demanding whole foods and not overly processed foods that are organic and local. There

has been a steady rise in both sales of organic foods and local foods since the 1990s.

Organic means using natural farming techniques and not artificial chemicals or means to raise/produce goods. Local is defined as the sale of food for human consumption through both direct-to-consumer (e.g., farmers’ markets) and intermediated marketing channels (e.g., sales to institutions or regional distributors).

It seems the gap is closing consumers are understanding the importance of agriculture and how it starts the food system and ultimately impacts food accessibility, dietary choices and nutrition. And the farmers and the food system are responding and meeting demands. Thank a farmer, buy whole foods and be mindful of your meals today and every day!

Brooks Sports Medicine – Better Healthcare for a Healthier Generation

Contributed Article Brooks Memorial Hospital

With today’s increased focus on health, wellness and fitness for both children and adults, the need for comprehensive care involving sports-related injuries has emerged. As the major provider of healthcare for families in Northern Chautauqua County, Brooks Memorial Hospital recognizes a need to address this notable trend in our community.

In response, Brooks has developed its new Sports Medicine program, a service provided to our community for the purpose of safeguarding the health and safety of athletes and other active individuals – for current and future injury prevention. This NEW continuity of care program has been designed for athletes of all ages and abilities, and involves the coordination of a high-quality preventative program, with immediate and emergency care, pediatric and primary care, orthopedic specialty services, and rehabilitation.

In cooperation with Lakeshore Orthopedic Group, P.C., the Brooks Sports Medicine program launched in Fall 2015, initially with Dunkirk and SilverCreek school district athletic departments, but now expanding to include other public and private sporting events.

Continuity of Care in Action Brooks’ continuity of care initiative features the services of a certified Athletic Trainer (ATC), a licensed allied health care professional who specializes in the prevention, assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation of injuries and illnesses in athletes and physically active individuals. More simply put, preventative care is coordinated for student athletes directly from the athletic field, or when necessary, with Brooks’ Emergency Department and Lakeshore Orthopedic Group.

Last fall, Julio and Michelle Farnham-DeJesus of Dunkirk, NY, were thankful when Brooks ATC, Cleon Clayton, was on the sidelines during football practice at Dunkirk High School when their son, DeVaun, fractured his hip. “Mr. Clayton called me at work, and then quickly coordinated emergency care with Dr. Brian Mata from Lakeshore Orthopedic Group. Dr. Mata treated our son within a few minutes - right in his office”, Michelle states.

According to Mike Sarratori, Dunkirk H.S. athletic director and head football coach, “Having an ATC on the sidelines has meant a great deal to our kids.

Not only are they learning preventative measures to stay safe, they are learning about the physiology of their bodies”. He adds, “This new program has helped keep our kids safe and return athletes to the field of play as quickly as possible.”

In addition to fracture / soft tissue injuries and concussions, Cleon Clayton, ATC, is trained and prepared to address Sudden Death in Sports (SIS), with causes including asthma, catastrophic brain injuries, cervical spine injuries, diabetes, exertional heat stroke, head-down contact in football, lightning, and more…… directly from the sidelines. To date, the program has addressed over 150 injuries.

Prevention to Post-Care Rehabilitation Means BETTER Care Dr. Brian Mata, orthopedic surgeon at Lakeshore Orthopedic Care has been instrumental in developing the Sports Medicine service for children and adults in our region. “If we can prevent and treat injuries without delay, we prevent further injury down the road. Students with injuries such as a soft muscle tear may not have been treated if it weren’t for the ATC.” He adds, “Now patients are being treated better.”

Rehabilitation is another important component of the program. Brooks Physical Therapy department, known locally as "a hidden gem in sports medicine”, offers a range of rehabilitation services to promote mobility, functional ability, and pain reduction in athletes and others. Brooks PT specializes in a Return to Play evaluation, involving isokinetic and hop testing to assess when a patient can safely progress to more functional activities, such as work or play. The care continuum proceeds as patients are monitored closely by their orthopedic specialist and primary care physician.

Pediatric and Primary Care for Our Next Generation

Emergency care, orthopedic specialty services, and physical therapy aren’t the only components of this comprehensive sports injury prevention and treatment program at Brooks. Pediatricians at Lake Erie Medical Services (LEMS) have recognized the advantages of this type of program to safeguard our kids at each developmental stage, and to help promote lifelong physical activity. LEMS Pediatrics currently specializes in conducing sports physicals, educating families on injury prevention, nutrition, and emotional wellness for children age 18 and under. Eventually, with other local pediatricians and primary care physicians, LEMS Pediatrics hopes to consider more closely the creation of a standardized pre- and post-concussion management protocol in cooperation with area school physicians.

Dr. Faryal Sonia Siddiqui tells us the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends reducing the risk of injury using protective equipment, adhering to the rules of the sport, identifying athletes at risk, and educating parents, athletes and coaches about concussion dangers. Dr. Siddiqui also points to the importance of the pre-participation physical evaluation (PPE) requirement, more commonly known as the sports physical in screening for life-threatening or conditions that could lead to SIS, and to help detect other conditions like depression.

The 8th Annual Slush Rush 5K was held Sunday morning at the State University of New York at Fredonia.

The event was a roaring success as it drew nearly 200 participants with lots of family and friends also on hand to cheer on the athletes, but the name “Slush Rush” didn’t really apply this year as temperatures were unseasonably warm and hovering around the 50 degrees.

No one complained.

The run/walk is hosted by The Office of International Education and benefits the Xylia Peterson ’85 Memorial Fund, a scholarship program that benefits international students on campus.

“Xylia Peterson was an international student and later worked here on cam-

pus,” assistant director of study abroad and exchange programs Erin Willis explained. “After her untimely death, some people started the Slush Rush as well as the scholarship as a way to honor her.”

Prizes were provided by a number of different sponsors with many more simply donating to the cause.

“We have a number of people that donate just from knowing the Peterson family,” Willis said. “The Fredonia Beaver Club and the Rotary Club have sponsored this year. In the past we’ve had donations from the Alumni Association. Another sponsor we had was Runner’s Roost in Orchard Park as well as Road ID, which provides safety equipment for runners. We have Slush Rush specific prizes as well as Fredonia specific prizes.”

Reflections On The Eve Of Nationals Contributed Article Fredonia Sports Information Dept.

Sleep may not come easily tonight for Fredonia's top-three runners on the eve of the most significant races of their lives.

Laura Morrison, Collin Mulcahy, and Brittany Feldman departed Tuesday for NCAA Division III Track and Field Championships at Grinnell College in Iowa.

They've spent the ensuing days mentally preparing to create a reality they each hope for: to be a top-eight finisher and named All-American.

Mulcahy will run first in the preliminaries on Friday at 2:30 p.m., followed by Feldman at 4:05 p.m., and Morrison at 5:20 p.m. The top eight finishers in each event advance to finals on Saturday.

Wednesday evening, the three runners reflected on the upcoming competition: Laura Morrison (Wethersfield Conn. / Wethersfield) - No. 3, 800-meter run: "It's very exciting and nerve-wracking preparing for nationals. I came into the indoor season wanting an All-American title, and a little redemption from last year's indoor nationals, and have realized it can become a reality this weekend.

Whenever I had a difficult workout or needed an extra push to finish a tough interval, I always thought about this in the back of my head. I feel like I have a lot more confidence and experience going into trials on Friday that I may have lacked last year. I'm really looking forward to the race. I'm also extremely excited to cheer on Brittany and Collin this weekend - these trips are always more fun when you have great teammates to share it with."

Collin Mulcahy (Batavia, N.Y. / Batavia) - No. 3, 1-mile run: "It's been a long journey to get to this point in my running career. For the past two years I've battled with countless injuries and have had to overcome missing nationals by mere tenths of a second. Even with all these so called 'bumps in the road,' I never lost sight of my goals. I simply worked hard, focused on the little things, and stayed positive. As a senior and in my final season of indoor track, I was willing to pay the price, and invest the time, energy and dedication that greatness requires more than ever. So for me, it's an even sweeter feeling to finally be able to qualify for NCAA's. I've prepared for this meet like I have for every meet this season. My weekly routine hasn't changed, although for this meet, it's been about training the mind instead of the body. Both mental strength and mental preparation are aspects that I've focused more on this season. Having made NCAA's in the fall, I feel like I'm more prepared this time around. When it comes to the track, I'm definitely more confident in myself compared to cross-country. Even though I'm seeded third in the country, I don't feel like there's any pressure on me. If I race like I have all season long, I know I'll leave Iowa satisfied and with some hardware! I think Laura, Brittany and I all have great opportunities to become AllAmericans! I'm excited to put on my Fredonia jersey one last time and see how I stack up against the best in the nation."

Brittany Feldman ( Jamestown, N.Y. / Southwestern) - No. 13, 400-meter run: "I honestly didn't have a lot of time to think about nationals. It was definitely a stressful process, especially (qualifying just) four days prior. But now that I've had time to think about it I know that the biggest thing for me is going to be running my own race and not letting anything get in my head. Getting here for me was all about having the right competition. And now that I'm here and have all the competition I could ask for, I'm hoping I can make it past trials on Friday and into finals on Saturday. I'm so excited that I get to be here and compete against the best of the best. As for being here now, it's already by far one of the most experiences I've ever had. I couldn't be any more thankful for what's happened this indoor season, and I can't wait to what's in store for Laura, Collin, and I this weekend."

Question: Who was the first NHRA driver to surpass 300 miles per hour in the quarter mile?

Blue Devil Athletes ‘Read Across America’ Contributed Article Fredonia Sports Information Dept.

A group of 31 Fredonia Blue Devil student-athletes and two coaches participated in "Read Across America Day" on Wednesday at the BOCES Loguidice Educational Center.

Kelly Edinger, a senior Childhood Inclusive Education major on the volleyball team, organized the event by reaching out to fellow student athletes.

"There are a range of ages and ability levels," Edinger wrote about the BOCES students in an e-mail sent out to members of every Blue Devil team. "Some students are nonverbal and others may feel overwhelmed seeing new faces. However, this event will mean so much to them.The main goal of this is to just have fun with these students. The school is filled with some of the funniest and loving children that I have ever met. Encouraging them, giving them high fives, shaking their hands, and complimenting them will mean so much."

Not sure of the type of response she would get, Edinger was prepared to reach out to community members to help out. Instead, fellow Blue Devils came through.

Nine teams were represented.

Fredonia women's volleyball coach Geoff Braun said, "There were stations where the kids were read to, arts and crafts, games and a photo booth. Everyone had a lot of fun. The Blue Devil athletes were fantastic" Participants were Edinger, Courtney Poirer, Megan Collins, and Jessica DiChristopher of women's volleyball; Aldyn Carlson, Lindsey Forness, Megan Medina, and Cassidy Herman of softball; Nicole Burrows, Jessica Tuttle, Samantha Spiess, Katie Miller, Amanda Krouse, Lauren Metz, Christine Thomas, Juliana Kotas, Audrey Yokopovich, and Jade Williams of women's lacrosse; Jon Carlson, Mike Freeman, Marcus Ortiz, and Mackenzie McAvoy of men's hockey; Ian Helps and assistant coach Adam LaQuier of men's basketball; Parker Healy and James

NCCYHA Hosts 31st Annual Invitational Tournament

By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

For a solid week, the Steele Hall ice rink on the campus of The State University of New York at Fredonia was the home of the 31st Annual Invitational Hockey Tournament.

The event was hosted by the Northern Chautauqua County Youth Hockey Association and serves as a fun way to end the season.

“We do make some money, but that’s not why we do it,” tournament director Kevin Persch said.

“It’s just to get the kids together for an awesome tournament to finish off the year. We’ll do our end of the season parties next week.”

The tournament featured teams across multiple age groups. The Pee Wees had both an ‘A’ and ‘B’ Division while the Bantams, Squirts and Mites were also represented. Athletes ranged from four to 14 years old.

Teams came from all over to participate in the tournament. Teams from Aurora, Canandaigua, Hamburg, Niagara County, Monroe County, Buffalo and Tri County all made the trip to Fredonia.

The tournament also showed off the stellar relationship between the NCCYHA and Fredonia’s Steele Hall staff.

“They’re awesome,” Persch was quick to note.

“It’s great working with them. They accommodate us all season long. They’re top notch the way they handle everything.”

Persch had others that he wanted to thank, too.

“I have to give credit to Mark Maytum and the DFT family,” he said. “Lake Shore Savings is our title sponsor. Without them, a lot of this isn’t possible.”

Outside of the rink in the upper level of Steele Hall, there were tables featuring a massive selection of concessions. There was also a table for Total Sports Imaging, which was taking professional photographs of the athletes. Parents could then browse the pictures and have them printed on a variety of surfaces.

The NCCYHA Steelers were well represented on their home ice.

The Steelers Bantam team was coached by Joe Harris. Team members were Ethan Brunner, Ian Celment, Nathan Gernatt, Jared Glowniak, Cooper Harris, Zach Korzeniewski, Lauren Marshall, Jonathan Maternowski, Michael Northan, Nicholas Novelli, Tyler Pacos, Gabe Persch, Mike Persch, Austin Rott, Jim Rush and Jack Swanson.

Team members were Simon Davis, Kinnan Finnegan, Anthony Fitzgerald, Caleb Gornikiewicz, Joe Newton, Tate Olson, Alex Paluch, Lincoln Paternosh, Lucas Pchelka, Trevor Persch, Alex Rush, Alana Schneider, Gabe Schrader, Chris Waterman, Lyric Westlund, Aden Wilmore and Joey Yeager.

The Mites division featured four teams, all of which were from NCCYHA. The Pachol Punishers, Keefe Kings, Keppel Knights and Bugaj Bombers all competed.

Thanks also go out to the tournament committee of Kevin Persch, Marie Persch and Jim Rush for once again hosting a tournament that was enjoyed by hundreds of kids, parents and fans.

The participants included employees of the college, members of the public as well as the Dunkirk High School cross country team and its head coach. Willis herself even ran after welcoming everyone and handing off the megaphone.

While the Slush Rush 5K is a big fundraiser for the scholarship, it’s not the only event of the year.

“There’s usually a dinner in November during International Education Week,” Willis explained. “It’s an international dinner with different types of food from all over the world. There are also performances by the international students here on campus.”

Fredonia Softball Set For 12-Game Florida Trip Contributed article Fredonia Sports Information Dept.

Fredonia's annual Florida trip kicks off a 2016 campaign starting this week. It's a season which could result in a program milestone.

Coming off a sixth-place finish in 2015, the Blue Devils are looking to make back-to-back SUNYAC appearances for the first time in program history.

The returning group is led by three seniors who have earned previous all-conference honors. Lindsey Forness (Allegany, N.Y./Allegany-Limestone) was 2015 First Team All SUNYAC -- as well as National Fastpitch Coaches Association Third Team Northeast Region -- after batting .446 overall, second highest in Blue Devil history by a player with 50 at-bats or more. Alyssa Morgan (Homer, N.Y./Homer) and Madeline Medina (Hanburg, N.Y./Hamburg) were Second Team all-conference picks last year. Morgan -- also 2013 Second Team and SUNYAC Rookie of the Year -- batted .390 with a team-high 41 hits, 20 runs, and 12 multiple-hit games. Medina batted .368 with a team-high 19 RBI. She also shared the team lead with eight doubles and was second on the team with a .390 batting average in conference games.

It's anticipated the trio will open the season as three-fourths of Fredonia's starting infield: Medina at first, Forness at second, and Morgan at shortstop, with a freshman, Cassidy Herman (Maybrook, N.Y./Valley), expected to get the call at third.

The reserves include junior shortstop Khee Nance (Dunkirk, N.Y./Dunkirk), a transfer from Mercyhurst University who's been slowed by an pre-season injury; senior middle infielder Kim Lotocki (Hamburg, N.Y./Frontier), a veteran of 65 games over three seasons; senior second baseman Megan Medina (Hamburg, N.Y./Hamburg), who has missed parts of the last two seasons because of injuries; and sophomore corner infielder Katelyn Dennis (Webster, N.Y./Webster Schroeder), a .368 hitter as a freshman who may open the season as the designated player.

The other 2016 veterans include two seniors, pitcher Aldyn Carlson (Dunkirk, N.Y./Dunkirk) and catcher Izzy Simon (Macedon, N.Y./Penfield); two juniors, outfielder Erin Mushtare (Oneonta, N.Y./Oneonta) and catcher Maddy Stavish (Olean, N.Y./Olean); and three sophomores, pitcher Megan DeGroat (New Windsor, N.Y. / Cornwall), and outfielder Nikki Lent (Yaphank, N.Y. / Longwood) and Lauren Pixley (Hamburg, N.Y. / Frontier). Among the position players, four could end up as starters: Stavish behind the plate and Mushtare, Lent, and Pixley in the outfield -- although Lent will also miss time early because of an injury. She batted .282 as a freshman while DeGroat made 19 pitching appearances -- nine starts -- and had a 4-5 record, the most wins by a returning pitcher.

Team captains are Forness, Morgan, Simon, and Mushtare.

Newcomers are junior catcher-infielder Sarah Cuillo (Blasdell, N.Y. / Frontier), who will also push for starting time, plus seven other freshmen. Three of the freshmen are pitchers: Emily Shellenberger (Philadelphia, Pa. / Little Flower Catholic), Erika Whitney (Harpursville, N.Y. / Harpursville), and Jessica Merle (Portland, N.Y./Brocton). Shellenberger could also see time as a corner infielder.

Two of the freshman have been taking most of their practice reps as catchers: Alyssa Fiorelli (Medford, N.Y. / Patchogue-Medford) and Mallory Mecca (Derby, NY / Eden). Two are outfielders, both with the potential to emerge as starters: Kelly Losito (Horseheads, N.Y. / Horseheads) and Leanne Villani (Lake Grove, N.Y. / Lake Ronkonkoma). Villani is a converted infielder.

The Blue Devils are set to play 12 games at The Spring Games in Clermont, Fla., starting 9 a.m. Thursday vs. Clarkson, and running through March 24. Two games are scheduled on each of the six play dates.

The first games back north are a March 29 doubleheader vs. Allegheny at Blue Devil Field. It's the first of seven straight home doubleheaders and includes visits from SUNYAC opponents Potsdam, Plattsburgh, Oswego, and Cortland. Unless weather-related postponements push some of those games later into April, the Blue Devils will close out the regular season with seven straight road doubleheaders.

Fredonia is picked sixth in the SUNYAC Coaches Pre-Season poll.

NHL GMs Discuss Streamlining Goalie Equipment

By Andy Kent Associated Press

BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) -- Goaltending equipment was the hot topic Tuesday on the second day of the NHL general managers meetings, with the focus on making it smaller to increase scoring.

The league has tried for a decade to manage equipment, adjusting it proportionally to each goalie's size. Kay Whitmore, the league's goalie expert, and executive vice president of hockey operations Colin Campbell said they want to clear up the gray area. ''This started last year after (the) competition committee (met) when we and the union agreed that things needed to be done with the pants and the upper body and we've been working behind the scenes nonstop,'' Whitmore said. ''You're hearing from some of the best goalies in the game that they think this is what's right. They want a level playing field within their ranks. They want to look at the other end of the rink and feel that the guy down there looks appropriate for his size.''

Whitmore said the plan is for manufacturers to have the more form-fitting equipment delivered to goaltenders in June so they have time to adapt before training camp. If agreed to by the NHL Players' Association, it could be mandatory for the 2016 season. ''Over the years there wasn't enough sizes made by the equipment companies, so a lot of this is falling on them,'' said Whitmore, the NHL's senior director of hockey operations. ''We've had in-depth meeting with their design people, and they understand about rounding and contouring and wrapping things and making it fit better. They have to understand that some goalies are seven inches wider than others and we want to make that significant difference visual to everybody and the goalies will feel better because it's a level playing field.''

Also discussed by the GMs: -The application of Rule 48 involving hits to the head. Concussions are a concern, but GMs determined the rule that already makes head shots illegal does not need to be changed. ''We had an extensive discussion, watched a lot of video and unanimously felt that the rule is working,'' Lou Lamoriello of the Toronto Maple Leafs said. ''They're doing an excellent job with the way it's being policed.''

- On the heels of how successful 3-on-3 overtime has been this season, GMs continued to talk about how the game can increase scoring beyond goalie equipment. Tim Murray of the Buffalo Sabres mentioned placing a time limit on how long a defenseman can hold the puck in the trapezoid behind his net.

There was also talk about preventing teams from icing the puck on the penalty kill and going back to some old rules, like 4-on-4 for coincidental minors

and players serving the entire time on their penalties instead of leaving the box after a goal.

NHL adding cameras for playoffs to help in coach challenges

The NHL will put cameras on the blue lines beginning in the playoffs to aid officials on offside calls when games matter most.

The decision was announced Monday on the first day of meetings among the league's general managers. Executive vice president of hockey operations Colin Campbell says the tweak should lead to more consistency and give officials another angle to review if an offside call is challenged following a goal. ''That's the one in-season tweak we can make,'' Campbell said. ''It's not a rule change, it's just helping make the process better.''

The coach's challenge was added as a video-replay option along with the change to 3-on-3 overtime last year. While the success of the new overtime format has been well documented, the coach's challenge has drawn more criticism for the lengthy delays of the video reviews and for the inconclusive results. Only 55 of 216 coach's challenges were overturned through the first 1,029 games.
