Fredonia Student Advances in National Competition Contributed Article Fredonia
A student from the State University of New York at Fredonia has earned the right to compete for a $10,000 award from The National Society of Arts and Letters. Jeff Kringer, a sophomore bachelor of fine arts Musical Theatre major from Skaneateles, will travel to Phoenix, Ariz., to take part in the NSAL national competition from May 19 to 22. He is competing in the musical theater category for a first place award of $10,000. Founded in 1944, The National Society of Arts and Letters is a non-profit organization designed to assist “promising young artists” through competitions with financial assistance, master classes, mentoring and career opportunities. Its competitions are designed to offer exposure for young artists who want to be heard and seen by professional critics, managers, producers, teachers, the media and patrons of the arts. Over the years, the NSAL has discovered stars such as actress/dancer/writer Shirley MacLaine, opera singer Jessye Norman, Broadway and television star Megan Hilty, pianist Awadagin Pratt and prima ballerina Amanda McKerrow. Kringer qualified for the NSAL national event by winning the regional competition held in New York City in March. During the regional event, Kringer performed “Disappear” from the musical “The Burnt Part Boys,” followed by a monologue from “The Future Is Not What It Was” and “If I Loved You,” from “Carousel.” The event concluded with a callback, during which Kringer was asked to perform “The Streets of Dublin” from “The Man of No Importance.” At Fredonia, Kringer has performed in several Department of Theatre and Dance Walter Gloor Mainstage Series productions, including “It’s a Wonderful Life: The Radio Play,” “HAIR: The Tribal Love-Rock Musical,” and “The Laramie Project/ The Laramie Project:

Thank You, Mommy By Katy Wise Contributing Writer
Tonight as I gave my two year old his dinner, he helped me realize something. A big something, and a small something all at the same time. I have to admit that I have had a completely stressed out, overwhelmed, not myself day. This month is a busy one for us, with our baby turning one this week, and Monday is always my laundry/clean up after the weekend day which means a bit more work than usual. I didn't even try to cook dinner tonight. As in I didn't even entertain the idea. Usually the goal is to make something homemade and warm, nutritious, delicious, etc. for our family. Tonight I skipped right over all of those usual thoughts to, 'what is the quickest thing I can feed these kids?' (While still being moderately healthy.) I got plates out and put some deli turkey and cheddar cheese, sliced cucumbers and grape tomatoes on a plate for each of us. Setting the food in front of my toddler, I felt somewhat guilty. Not because the food wasn't healthy, because that wasn't the problem. But guilty that I hadn't put quite as much effort in as usual. Then my two year old looked up at me with those big blue eyes, and said, "thanks for making dinner, Mommy." The same thanks that I get for something made from scratch, that was slaved over for hours in the kitchen. He tells me this every night, but he genuinely means it when he says it. He's not the type of child to talk just because he likes to talk, he waits until he really feels that he has something to contribute. Then it hit me. He was genuinely grateful for what I had prepared for him, just as he was for every other meal that we've provided for him. It didn't matter to him that I hadn't made homemade lasagna or pot roast. Sure, there are times when toddlers may not seem like the most gracious creatures on the planet.
Trust me, I've encountered picky eaters before. That doesn't mean they aren't thankful, and it doesn't mean that your efforts go unnoticed. Kids watch every ounce of effort and love that you pour into them. Just because it isn't extravagant or magazine cover material doesn't mean it has any less thought attached to it. With a tendency to be a perfectionist, sometimes I beat myself up when everything doesn't get accomplished in a day, or when the bar I set for myself is too high for me to reach. In the past I have gotten caught up in striving for perfectionism and not grace. Trying to do everything exactly the way I think it should be done, so much so, that I wear myself right out and don't take time to enjoy our children where they are at right now. I'm still working on this, and I imagine I will be for the rest of my life. However, I think we all need to realize that our best is enough. There is grace made available by God for every parent out there, to be the best parent that they can be. We need to take a break from trying to do everything that's available within ourselves to do, and start leaning and trusting in God more. Things don't need to be 'perfect.' Dinner doesn't have to be 'perfect.' Kids don't have to be 'perfect.' And parents don't have to be 'perfect.' The sooner that we realize this, and we stop seeking after this ideal that is unattainable, the sooner things will start to become more 'perfect' than they have ever been. There are far greater things that God has for us to seek after, that will bring us as close to being the perfect parent, teacher, kid, spouse, employee etc. that we can possibly be. So let's stop chasing perfectionism. This Mother's Day, remember that your mother likely did the very best that she knew how to do. And celebrate that. For her and for you. If you're a mother, remember that you have done your best too. Don't beat yourself up over past mistakes. p Your kids might not even realize there were mistakes along the way. As always, thanks for reading, and we wish you a very happy Mother's Day this C weekend! E t w t t t J P F W 4

Keeping The Faith
Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church Fredonia fcfredonia.org
Dear Pastor, someone said that we aren’t in faith if we aren’t “doing faith”. Huh? While I don’t want to put words in your friend’s mouth, I think I know where they were headed. Let’s look to the Word to see if I can adequately explain. If we look to the Word we see in Hebrews (11:1) the given definition of faith. Chapter 11:1 “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” If we have faith, we are actually believing
what the Word of God says. For example, 1 Peter 2:24 declares that “… By His stripes (the whip marks on Jesus’ back) we were healed.” Because of this scriptural promise, we can say that we have the faith to believe that we were healed through Jesus. This is our immovable belief that we are healed. That’s wonderful! But many people say that they believe in healing in general and know that God can heal, but that’s not enough if it’s the God-kind-of faith! We must be absolutely sure that He will do it for us. Hebrews 11:6 declares that we must be sure of “And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who seek Him.” Basically, that God is Who He says He is and that He can do what He says He will do. If He said that that we were already healed, and that we receive it by faith, then its ours! So what about “doing faith”? the actually Greek word for faith isn’t just about knowing and

believing what God says. The word “faith” is also a verb or action word. For our faith to line up with His…we must be able to do or demonstrate what faith looks like. If I gave you a check for a thousand dollars, and you knew me to be an honorable person, you would be a poor receiver if you just crumpled the check, stuffed it into a coat pocket, and walked away with a “we’ll see.” No! It’s more likely that you would act happy, even though you don’t actually see the cash yet. You might even call your mom and best friends to share the good fortune. Notice that it’s not just KNOWING about the check; we will BEHAVE like we believe.
Gustavus Adolphus (G.A.) Family Services in Jamestown and serving western N.Y., is looking to connect with former youth, who have gone on to lead successful lives. Former youth are asked to fill out a biographical form and submit it to G.A. to be nominated for inclusion in their Wall of Fame Ceremony on July 29th at the G.A. Learning Center. Others are welcome to nominate a former youth, as well. The Wall of Fame was developed to recognize former youth who have overcome personal challenges and are making a positive impact in their lives. This is an important part of celebrating G.A.’s 130th Anniversary this year. At the event the newest members of the Wall of Fame will be honored. “At this time we have inducted thirteen members onto the Wall of Fame,” said Karl Wiggins, Vice President of G.A. Family Services. “Any person, who has received services from the G.A. Children’s Home and G.A. Family services as a youth, is eligible to be nominated. Our goal is to reconnect with adults who have come through the G.A. programs and who have gone on to lead successful lives despite having endured many hardships in their childhood.” The nominations include a brief biographical description of the person’s life. Inductees will be selected based on life accomplishments, community involvement, and inspiration and hope for the youth we serve today. “These heartfelt stories will be shared with our current youth and show them that they too can overcome great odds and lead successful lives,” Wiggins said. Nominations (biographical forms) are due by June 1, 2016. They will be reviewed by a committee. Those who are chosen will be notified ASAP, so they can make arrangements to join in the ceremony. To learn more or to receive a nomination form, log onto www.gafamilyservices.org or call the G.A. office in Jamestown at 716.665.2116.

Granada resident Steven Nightingale, in his nonfiction work bearing the name of his adopted home, excavates the rich past of the Spanish city and of Al-Andalus, finding a story of utopian ecstasy, political and religious intrigue and exaltation, and scorching anguish. Readers lauded Granada as a “spectacular showcase” of Nightingale’s talents, and called Nightingale “a rare combination of careful researcher, thorough reporter, gifted storyteller and poet.” Susan Southard has spent years interviewing hibakusha (“bomb-affected people”) in Japan, and in Nagasaki, she ushers readers from the morning the atomic bomb was dropped on the city to life in Nagasaki today. In researching the physical, emotional and social challenges of post-atomic life, Southard created “a clear-eyed, honest, impeccably researched and beautifully written book.” It’s a book, one reader said, “that has the potential to change minds and hearts.” From post-punk Brighton to revolutionary Angola, Jonathan Weisman’s No. 4 Imperial Lane travels time and the globe, exploring the effects of colonialism through the eyes of an unexpected American stranger. At the intersection of the damaged lives in a waning aristocracy, Weisman has created a fiction-
al story in a historical world, filled with “details, nuances, facts and feelings that are thoughtful and spot-on,” one reader said. Awarded annually since 2012, The Chautauqua Prize draws upon Chautauqua Institution’s considerable literary legacy to celebrate a book that provides a richly rewarding reading experience and to honor the author for a significant contribution to the literary arts. The author of the winning book will receive $7,500 and all travel and expenses for a one-week summer residency at Chautauqua. For more information, visit ciweb.org/prize. With a history steeped in the literary arts, Chautauqua Institution is the home of the Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle, founded in 1878, which honors at least nine outstanding books of fiction, nonfiction, essays and poetry every summer. Further literary arts programming at Chautauqua includes summer-long interaction of published and aspiring writers at the Chautauqua Writers’ Center, the intensive workshops of the nationally recognized Chautauqua Writers’ Festival, and lectures by prominent authors on the art and craft of writing.

WCA Offers Free Blood Pressure Checks In May Contributed Article WCA Hospital
May is American Stroke Month and National High Blood Pressure Education Month and this year, the CHQ 250 under the Million Hearts® campaign will focus on increasing public awareness of stroke risks and warning signs and educating the public about blood pressure control. The WCA Hospital Wellness, Cardiology, and Chautauqua County Health Action teams will join this effort by offering the general public FREE BLOOD PRESSURE checks during the month of May. No appointment is necessary and walk-ins are welcomed Monday – Friday, between the hours of 7 a.m. and 3 p.m. To get your blood pressure checked, stop by the WCA Hospital Cardiology Department located at the main campus, 207 Foote Avenue, Jamestown, and check-in with the receptionist. The Cardiology Department is located on the 2nd Floor of the hospital, adjacent from the Auditorium. Blood pressures will be checked by a registered nurse. The screening only takes a few minutes. Anyone with a high blood pressure result will be referred to the Emergency Department or his/her primary care physician. Blood pressure is commonly associated with narrowing of the arteries, which causes the heart and blood vessels to
overwork. Blood pressure is recorded as two numbers: the systolic pressure (as the heart beats) over the diastolic pressure (as the heart relaxes between beats). “Most people cannot tell if their blood pressure is high because there are typically no symptoms,” said Toni DeAngelo, RN, WCA Community Health and Wellness Director. “High blood pressure is a common disease in which blood flows through blood vessels (arteries) at higher than normal pressures and can increase the risk of heart failure, heart attack, stroke, or kidney failure. The good news is that we have the ability to lower our blood pressure through lifestyle modifications and medication.” Brenda Fitzgerald, RN, cardiac rehab specialist at WCA, tells us that high blood pressure can be prevented—and lowered—if people take the following preventative steps: Follow a healthy eating plan and reduce your salt intake. Maintain a healthy weight. Be moderately physically active for at least 30 minutes per day. Reduce your stress. Drink alcohol in moderation and don’t smoke. Take your medications and follow-up with your doctor. “Approximately 1 in every 4 American

adults has high blood pressure,” Brenda said. “Fortunately, you can find out if you have high blood pressure by having your blood pressure checked regularly. If it is high, you can take protective steps to lower it. Just as important, if your blood pressure is normal, take healthy steps to keep it from rising.” In conjunction with the free blood pressure screening program at WCA, the Chautauqua County Action team will be on hand at the WCA Cardiology Department to offer participants education on the NEW Hands-Only Com-
munity CPR program. Lisa Schmidtfrerick-Miller, CHQ 250 coordinator, will be available on Friday, May 13, from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m., and Monday, May 16, from Noon to 3 p.m. to educate the public on the new initiative. Educational resources to prevent and/ or control blood pressure will be made available during the screening. Printable patient information sheets are also available by visiting the American Heart Association at www.heart.org or contacting WCA Hospital Wellness at (716) 664-8677.

Brooks Celebrates National Nurses Week Contributed Article Brooks Memorial Hospital
National Nurses Week begins each year on May 6th and ends on May 12th, the birthday of Florence Nightingale, founder of nursing as a modern profession. Every year, this week focuses attention on the diverse ways America's nurses work to save lives and to improve the health of millions of individuals. During this weeklong celebration, the Nursing team at Brooks will be recognized for the contributions they make to our community with a series of special events at the hospital including a breakfast, chair massages, raffles and giveaways, and a sundae bar. Our hospital emerged in 1898 through the generosity of the Brooks family based on values of compassion, service and commitment to the healthcare needs of this community. Our Nursing staff continues that tradition to this day by embracing our I-CARE values of integrity, compassion, accountability, respect and excellence. Many of your own friends and neighbors can be seen providing Nursing care for you and your loved ones at Brooks. Nursing is an honored and trusted profession steeped in rich values based on the work of Florence Nightingale, and is most often seen as a calling rather than merely an occupation. Nurses play significant roles in hospitals, clinics and private practices. They make up the largest health care occupation in the United States. Nursing job duties include communicating between patients and doctors, caring for patients, administering medicine and supervising nurses' aides. On behalf of the staff and administration at Brooks, this week and every week, our Nurses help make this community is a better place.

‘Project Puffin’ Co-Author at RTPI Thursday, May 5
Contributed Article Roger Tory Peterson Institute
Project Puffin: The Improbable Quest to Bring a Beloved Seabird Back to Egg Rock is the inspiring story of how puffins were restored to long-abandoned nesting colonies off the Maine coast. When the book’s co-author, prize-winning journalist and photographer Derrick Jackson, visits Jamestown, he will make a presentation at the Roger Tory Peterson Institute of Natural History. A 6 p.m. meet and greet will precede his 7 p.m. talk on Thursday, May 5. As a young ornithology instructor at the Hog Island Audubon Camp, Jackson’s co-author and National Audubon Society vice president Stephen W. Kress learned that puffins had nested on nearby islands until rooted out and destroyed by hunters in the late 1800s. To right this environmental wrong, Dr. Kress resolved to bring puffins back to one such island – Eastern Egg Rock. Bringing the plan to reality meant convincing skeptics, finding resources, and inventing restoration methods at a time when many believed in “letting nature take its course.” Today, Project Puffin has restored more than 1,000 puffin pairs to three Maine islands. Techniques developed during the project have helped bring back rare and endangered seabirds worldwide. In addition, reestablished puffins now serve as a window into the effects of global warming. The success of Project Puffin offers hope that people can restore lost wildlife populations and the habitats that support them. Jackson, an award-winning columnist for the Boston Globe op-ed section, is a 2001 finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in commentary, a two-time winner of opinion awards from the Education Writers Association, and a nine-time winner of awards by the National Association of Black Journalists. Jackson’s wildlife images have been reprinted by the Audubon Society, the Wilderness Society, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Journal of Wildlife Management. His images of Barack Obama have been exhibited by Boston’s Museum of African American History.
Derrick Z. Jackson, co-author of Project Puffin: The Improbable Quest to Bring a Beloved Seabird Back to Egg Rock, will visit the Roger Tory Peterson Institute on Thursday, May 5. A 6 p.m. meet and greet will precede the 7 p.m. presentation by the award-winning journalist and photographer. The event is free and open to the public. Jackson took this photograph of a puffin inspecting one of the project’s decoys.
To listen to an interview with Jackson and Steve Kress on PRI’s Living on Earth, visit loe.org/ shows/segments.html?programID=15-P1300020&segmentID=6. Jackson’s message at the Peterson Institute is designed for birders – beginners through advanced. Prints of his photographs and signed copies of his book will be available for sale. The Roger Tory Peterson Institute is located at 311 Curtis Street in Jamestown. For more information, call (716) 665-BIRD (2473) or visit the Events page at www.rtpi.org.
At noon on Friday, May 6, Jackson will speak in Jamestown Community College’s Carnahan Theatre. The presentation, free and open to the public, is targeted more to students and community members who may not have as much birding or natural history knowledge. Jackson’s visit is made possible through the collaboration of the Audubon Nature Center, Jamestown Community College's Hultquist Library, Earth Awareness Club, and college program committee, the Katharine Jackson Carnahan Endowment for the Humanities, Roger Tory Peterson Institute, and the Roger Tory Peterson Institute Ornithological Club.

Final Women Create Salon and Closing on Wednesday, May 11 Contributed Article Women Create
Your last opportunity to enjoy the Women Create exhibit and be inspired at a Women Create Salon is coming up soon. On Wednesday evening, May 11, the final of four salons will spotlight artists whose works are on display at Women Create, the biennial juried exhibit of women’s art in Jamestown, New York. Presenters Tara Eastman of Jamestown, Barbara ThomasYerace of Erie, Pennsylvania, and Jennifer Miller of Westons Mills, New York, will give brief talks about their work, interspersed with questions, answers, and conversation. Also marking the closing of the exhibit, the 7-9 p.m. event is at the Dykeman-Young Gallery and Vintage Emporium, 100 East Second Street, in downtown Jamestown. Gallery hours until the closing are 1-7 p.m., TuesdaySaturday. The exhibit, featuring the works of 46 artists, and the salon are free and open to the public. All pieces are for sale. Tara Eastman is exhibiting her acrylic painting, “Lucky Bamboo.” Eastman, who completed her theological studies at Wartburg Theological Seminary, combines her love of ministry with her love of the visual arts in numerous projects, both in Western New York and nationally. She has lead several mural projects as a Teaching Artist for the Arts Council of Chautauqua County. She was also the Artist-inResidence and member of the faculty at the 2013 Forums on Youth Ministry at Princeton Theological Seminary and the Artist-in-Residence and workshop presenter at the 2012 Inhabit Conference in Seattle. Barbara Thomas-Yerace is showing two works of hand blown glass, driftwood and wire: “The Gatherer” and “Her Burning Desire.” After receiving a BFA from Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Thomas-Yerace did post-graduate studies at The Ohio State University in Columbus. She continued her education in glass at Pilchuck School of Glass, Penland School of Crafts, Corning Museum of Glass, and Sonoran Glass School. She is inspired by nature and wildlife as well as glass itself, as it can be blown, cast in molds, and shaped with many different techniques. Jennifer Miller has two acrylic on wood paintings on display, “The Forests’ Benefaction,” of a pair of Pileated Woodpeckers, and “Above and Below.” The latter, of a pair of ruddy ducks, was used to create the companion image on the 2015-2016 Federal Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp. Miller is the third and youngest woman to win the Federal Duck Stamp competition since it began in 1934. Along with her artistic pursuits that include illustra-
tion, sculpture, and crafting hand-made jewelry with precious metals and gems, the self-taught artist is active in conservation and paints endangered species to raise awareness. The closing salon is sponsored by Warrin’ Wrecking Dolls, a member-operated all-women’s roller derby league in Western Pennsylvania. WWD plays competitive roller derby under the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association guidelines. To learn more about this group that includes one of the Women Create artists, visit www.northshoreartsalliance.com. Women Create has a special opportunity for Girl Scouts and other interested young people. A limited number of Art Gallery patches will be available for $3 each to those who complete at least four patch activities listed on a card. Women Create is a community-minded, volunteer-
run initiative to support and celebrate women artists by mounting a juried exhibit every other year. Artist Audrey Dowling, owner and operator of the Portage Hill Gallery in Westfield, New York, juried the show. Internationally exhibited artist, curator and educator Debra Eck and photographer and blogger Jennifer Schlick are creative directors. They are assisted by mixed media artist Katherine Turnquist. From 5-6:30 p.m. immediately preceding the salon, the Juror’s and Founders’ Show will be open at the 3rd on 3rd Gallery, adjacent to the Reg Lenna Center for The Arts, 116 East Third Street, Jamestown.

“Composition Concepts” is Topic of Audubon Photo Club Meeting Contributed Article Audubon Nature Center
Cathy Abers-Kimball will present “Composition Concepts” at the next Jamestown Audubon Nature Photography Club meeting on Thursday, May 12. The illustrated talk at the 6:30 p.m. gathering brings a variety of different composition topics presented over several meetings into a unified focus. “A Photo Story” and “How’d I Miss That” are the topics for the image review that opens the evening. “Photo Story” uses two to four pictures with a thread that holds them together. “How’d I Miss That” is about being over-enamored with a scene and perhaps missing scene elements that distract from the subject or doing a common camera mistake that isn’t caught until the images are reviewed later. The usual short tech topic will also be part of the meeting. A social time follows the program. First-time visitors are welcome to participate free of charge. The annual membership is $30. Among the benefits of membership are discounts on photography classes, field trips, and the right to show photos at Club exhibits. The Jamestown Audubon Nature

Central Station Restaurant Joins Senior Dining Out Program Contributed Article OFA
The Chautauqua County Office for the Aging (OFA) recently announced Central Station Restaurant is now participating in its Senior Restaurant Dining Out Program. Central Station Restaurant is located at 332 Central Ave. in Dunkirk and it will be accepting senior vouchers during its regular business hours of Monday through Wednesday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Vouchers will also be accepted for breakfast only on Thursday and Friday from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. The Senior Restaurant Dining Out Program is a collaboration between the OFA and local restaurants to provide subsidized meals to seniors. It gives seniors the opportunity to be active in their communities, socialize, and receive a full nutrient composed meal. It also gives them the ability to choose when to eat, where to eat, and what to eat. Seniors age 60 and over who wish to participate must register for the program and get tickets, for a suggested contribution of $3.50 per meal, directly from Office for the Aging by calling 753-4471, 661-7471, or 363-4471. Tickets can be used at any of the six participating restaurants and restaurant lists and times of participation will be sent out with all ticket orders. Tickets can only be used to obtain specified meal choices from the Senior Dining -Out Menus and there are no substitutions. Tickets cannot be transferred to others, turned in for cash or used at non-participating restaurants. Gratuity and additional purchases (not included in the senior menu choices) are the participant’s responsibility. “It is a win–win program as it serves seniors and supports local family-owned restaurants throughout the county and I am extremely pleased to now have a site located in Dunkirk,” said Becky Blum, Senior Nutrition Program Director. “We would love to hear from other restaurants in the county who may be interested in participating in the program. This is a very popular program for seniors and the more choices and locations available for them the better the program will be.” For more information about the Senior Restaurant Dining Out Program, contact the Office for the Aging at 753-4471, 661-7471, or 363-4471.

What to Consider When Choosing a Hospital Contributed Article StatePoint
Few experiences are more difficult than having to endure a hospital stay. But unlike in years past, you can now educate yourself on both healthcare providers and facilities, much like you would for any product or service. These days, free online resources allow you to compare hospitals across a wide range of criteria, as well as read patient reviews. That, along with federallymandated healthcare quality report cards, have hospital administrators making great strides in the quality of care they provide. This is where a hospital’s physical design becomes a crucial element of patient health, comfort and wellbeing. “The biggest risks for patients during a hospital stay are exposure to possible infections, medical errors and falls,” says Joan Suchomel, president of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) Academy of Architecture for Health. “Good hospital design can reduce these risks. For example, installing a dedicated hand-washing sink near the entrance of patient rooms improves hygiene. Proper lighting and layouts reduce potential distraction during preparation of medications to help prevent drug administration errors. Well-placed handrails, the space to limit clutter, and flooring materials that reduce slipperiness and unevenness, will help prevent patient falls.” Others design considerations that architects employ are done to specifically address concepts for effective caregiving, reducing patient stress and pain levels, and creating safer and more hygienic rooms and healing spaces. For example, it has been proven through research that views of nature reduce stress -- and patients with less stress feel less pain and don’t need as much pain medication. In addition to the capabilities of doctors and nurses, the actual space within a healthcare facility can influence patient healing rates, decrease the length of hospital stays, and even impact something as basic as a

good night’s sleep. And now, hospitals are financially motivated to offer patients the best level care possible, as patients often make decisions based on a host of ratings and reviews that are now publicly available to them. Suchomel suggests the following questions to consider when comparing hospitals: • How does an institution perform on quality measures like success rates and patient outcomes? • Has the hospital been cited for lack of compliance in any areas?
• What do patients say about their care on ratings sites? Being an educated consumer makes good financial sense if you are shopping for a car or life insurance, and the stakes are even higher when it comes to healthcare. Fortunately, there are now a multitude of resources available to arm you with the information you need to make the best decision for your particular medical condition or issue. And there has never been a greater priority placed on ensuring hospital design results in a safe, clean and peaceful healing environment.

Atrial Fibrillation Contributed Article Westfield Memorial Hospital
Atrial fibrillation, or AFib, is a kind of abnormal heart rhythm or arrhythmia. During AFib, the signal to start the heartbeat is disorganized. The atria quiver or “fibrillate” instead of contracting the way they should and the heart rate usually increases. The contraction of the atria and the ventricles is no longer coordinated, and the amount of blood pumped out to the body will vary with each heartbeat. The ventricles may not be able to pump blood efficiently to the body. The quivering atria can lead to blood pooling and that increases the risk of forming blood clots which can then travel to the brain, causing a stroke. This is why AFib significantly increases the risk for stroke. Sometimes AFib occurs briefly and then goes away. Sometimes it can be controlled with medications; however, persistent AFib will require medical attention because the heart’s rhythm is no longer controllable. AFib is common in adults because the risk increases with age. It is also more common in men than women. While it is a serious condition, most people with AFib can lead normal, active lives. What causes atrial fibrillation? AFib can happen from any type of problem that changes the way the heart handles electricity. Sometimes the cause is unknown. There are a range of problems that can increase this risk including: • High blood pressure
• • •
Coronary artery disease Heart failure Rheumatic heart disease (from previous Streptococcus infection) • Heart valve defects (like mitral valve prolapse) • Pericarditis • Congenital heart defects • Sick sinus syndrome • Hyperthyroidism • Obesity • Diabetes • Lung disease • Obstructive sleep apnea • Metabolic syndrome • High-dose steroid therapy What are the symptoms of atrial fibrillation? AFib can cause different symptoms and sometimes none at all. This is especially true when it is not treated. These can include: Heart palpitations — it might feel like your heart is skipping beats or beating too hard • Shortness of breath • Chest pain • Dizziness or fainting

Weakness and fatigue Confusion Swelling in the feet, ankles, and legs How is atrial fibrillation treated? Treatment options vary according to your medical history, your symptoms, and your preferences. Some people who don’t have any symptoms may not need a large amount of treatment and the aFib can be treated with various medications. For persistent AFib, there are procedures which can help the heart get back into a normal rhythm. An electrocardioversion involves delivering a lowenergy shock to the heart to stop the signal that is making the atria quiver. Catheter ablation uses radio wave energy sent through a wire to destroy the small patch of heart tissue that causes AFib and restores the normal rhythm. Maze surgery involves cauterizing the electric signals which are misfiring, thereby eliminating the erratic rhythms. A pacemaker can also be put in to control heart rhythm. What are the complications of atrial fibrillation? Stroke and heart failure are the two major complications of AFib. Blood can pool in the atria during AFib
which can then cause a clot. The clot can travel to the brain and block a vessel there, causing a stroke. Blood-thinning medications help reduce this risk. AFib also sometimes causes heart failure. Because the ventricles are beating so irregularly, they can’t fill normally. The atria also can’t squeeze appropriately, which also reduces filling in the ventricles. In some cases, this means the heart can’t pump enough blood to the body, causing heart failure. Can atrial fibrillation be prevented? Controlling risk factors for atrial fibrillation may prevent AF from developing. This includes managing underlying heart disease, high blood pressure, thyroid problems, sleep apnea and lung diseases. Risk factor control also means making healthy lifestyle choices. These choices include eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy weight, drinking only in moderation and not smoking.

4 Tips to Live Better in Retirement Contributed Article StatePoint
The conceptions and realities of retirement have changed a great deal over the past several decades, giving many seniors misgivings about the future. But your golden years can be happy, healthy and productive, say experts. “For many individuals, confusion, fear and an overwhelming sense of powerlessness accompany the prospect of growing old in America. The good news is that we have power to address these concerns,” says Scott Page, author of the new book “It’s Never Too Late: Getting Older, Wiser, and Worry-Free in our Golden Years.” Are you retired or approaching the end of your working life? Are you concerned about an older parent or loved one? Here, Page offers expert tips on living better: Living Ideas Reducing housing expenses can have an extra upside. For example, downsizing your empty nest offers you the benefit of less house to maintain. Moving to a region of the country cheaper than your current area may take you somewhere sunnier, warmer and better suited for aging. Another popular way to live more frugally is to consider taking on a roommate. “Co-living arrangements like the ‘The Golden Girls’ are becoming more popular with single or widowed seniors. It helps save money and can be beneficial for socialization and
support,” says Page. Make Money You can rake in extra income that doesn’t feel like work. Review your talents and hobbies. Are you an excellent baker, a talented woodworker or musician. “Seniors often have a lot of time on their hands, and they may be able to transform hobbies or interests into a way to make a little money,” says Page, who points out that such activities can also be an excellent way to stay engaged and active, keeping minds and bodies vibrant. Saving Tips Don’t be shy about using the age card. After all, you have worked hard for it. Senior discounts are available at restaurants, stores, on travel, adult education classes and gym memberships, and sites like Restaurant.com or Groupon have special bargain days for seniors. You can also save by eliminating unnecessary expenses. For example -- do you still need that landline telephone? Can you bundle certain services to help reduce costs? Do an inventory of your possessions to determine which objects to keep and which to discard or sell. Free worksheets, available at scottpage.com/ free-tools, can help you make smart decisions. Connect with Friends Consider planning meals with a support network. “Maybe Sally takes Monday nights, Judy takes Wednesday nights and Sarah takes Friday nights,” says Page. “Cooking for more than

Home Design Tips for Baby Boomers Contributed Article StatePoint
There are about 76.4 million Baby Boomers in the US, according to the Population Reference Bureau. As this population ages, it will become important that features on their houses promote safety, are easy-to-maintain, and last a long time. Whether building from the ground up or remodeling a current home, take “aging-in-place” into consideration every step of the way. Here are some great projects to consider with strong payback. A Better Basement When building a new home, choose your foundation carefully. Not only is an uninsulated basement a major source of heat loss, but it's throwing away potential space that can enhance your life. A "liveable basement" can be designated as a “grandkid zone,” an athome office or crafting workshop. You can use a pre-cast insulated concrete foundation system, such those from Superior Walls, to create an energy-efficient damp-proof basement. This foundation will help reduce utility bills for long-term savings. Reinforced concrete walls create a permanent barrier against water, and pre-engineered access for wiring or plumbing features are a key element to whatever vision you have for this subterranean space. First Floor Privacy Many seniors opt to spend more of their time at home on the easy-to-navigate ground floor. But don’t compromise privacy in pursuit of accessibility. Privacy windows can alleviate concerns you have about neighbors seeing you go about your business. For example, those from Hy-Lite are offered in numerous styles and designs, including opaque decorative glass, acrylic block and true glass block windows. Silkscreen glass designs can complement the overall style of the home. From your master

Happy Mother’s Day How to Personalize Your Mother’s Day Gifts Contributed Article StatePoint
Mother’s Day is all about making Mom feel amazingly special. And what better way than with a thoughtful gift created with her unique style and personality in mind? “Whether you opt for something extravagant or something she’ll use all the time, when you personalize a gift, you know you’re getting something no one else selected for their Mom,” says Christopher Warnack, director of marketing at Things Remembered, a leading retailer of personalized gifts. More than a quarter of all Mother’s Day shopping takes place at specialty stores, according to recent National Retail Federation statistics. And it’s no wonder -these stores specialize in distinct and unique items your mother won’t soon forget. With 50 years of experience helping people create gifts and accessories, the experts at Things Remembered are sharing some ideas for creating unforgettable personalized Mother’s Day gifts. Practical Sometimes the best gifts are the ones the recipient will use most. But practical doesn’t have to mean plain. Whether Mom loves to cook or it’s Dad’s duty, there’s probably a great recipe she loves. A cutting board personalized with a favorite family recipe makes a beautiful addition to any kitchen. And if she can’t get going without her morning coffee, a Contigo travel mug personalized with a fun message written for her will put a smile on her face, even on Mondays. Fashionable For fashion-forward mothers, complement her sophisticated or quirky fashion sense with a one-of-a-kind handbag. A leather tote bag personalized with a monogram in shiny gold foil will upgrade her daytime style. And to help her stand out from the crowd at night, accessorize her eveningwear with a leather and gold medallion purse with her engraved monogram. Want to add a detail that makes it just from you? Engrave a secret message card with a special note and add it to her purse. Sentimental From keepsake and shadowboxes to memorable pieces of jewelry, Mother’s Day is the perfect time to get sentimental. Daughters can consider gifting Mom a matching bracelet, inscribed with nicknames or lines from a shared favorite song. For first-time moms, dads can help keep the new baby close to mom’s heart with an engraved sterling silver locket. Or, give Mom a home for her second most valuable possessions. A jewelry box, whether mirrored, lacquered, leather or wood, can be personalized with a special note to add more meaning. Fun For moms who know how to have fun, consider something unique and cool. A colorful, personalized tote bag, complete with a fun, quirky message or “Momism” will assist on her trips to the farmer’s market, the spa or the gym. Listed as one of Oprah’s Favorite Things in 2015, the Corkcicle Vinnebago is
Matching bracelets with personalized messages make great gifts for Mom.
another fun gift to consider. The vacuum-sealed, insulated bottle travels well and carries a full bottle of wine. You can add a name or fun quip, such as “Moms Wine Too,” to personalize it.

Nature Center Wildflower Walk on Mother’s Day
Contributed Article Audubon Nature Center
Continuing a decades-long tradition, on Sunday afternoon, May 8, naturalist Jack Gulvin will lead the Audubon Nature Center’s annual Mother’s Day Wildflower Walk at the Bentley Sanctuary. The walk starts at the entrance to the sanctuary and meanders through the woods in search of spring wildflowers. The hike features all the spring flowers, from Spring Beauties to False Mermaid. The 2-4 p.m. Mother’s Day event is an opportunity to take a couple hours to enjoy the breathtaking beauty of even the smallest and the most common wildflowers. You can learn which are native and which were brought here by Europeans eager to see a familiar sight from the home country. You will also learn about some that tagged along uninvited. Jack Gulvin is a naturalist at Chautauqua Institution, where he leads nature walks Friday mornings at 9 a.m. during the Chautauqua season. He also oversees the Purple Martin colonies, leading walks the first four Fridays of the season at 4:15 p.m. Anyone interested in the Mother’s Day Wildflower Walk is invited to meet at 2 p.m. at the entrance to the Bentley Sanctuary. The Sanctuary is located at the end of Bentley Road, off Fluvanna Road (State Route 430) to the right (if heading north), near the Fluvanna Community Church in Greenhurst. Bring sturdy, mud-proof footwear and dress for the weather. With the wonderful background information Gulvin provides, a pencil and paper are often welcome accessories. Since it is also a great time for birds, consider bringing binoculars. The fee is $8 or $6 for Friends of the Nature Center and children ages 9-15. Reservations are not required. If you can’t make it on May 8, you can visit the Bentley Sanctuary on your own any time between dawn and dusk. To learn more, call (716) 569-2345 or visit www.jamestownaudubon.org.
For decades the Audubon Nature Center has been offering a special treat on Mother’s Day: a guided tour of beautiful spring wildflowers at the Bentley Sanctuary. This Solomon’s Seal photographed by Nature Center program director Jennifer Schlick is one of the spring wildflowers that reward the observant trail walker.
How to Make Mother’s Day More Meaningful this Year Contributed Article StatePoint
Gifts and flowers are a nice way to show mom you care on Mother’s Day. But this year, consider adding deeper meaning to the holiday (which falls on May 8) with these ideas: Volunteer Together After breakfast in bed is wrapped up, spend the day working side-by-side with your mom on a local volunteer project. Whether you take advantage of the spring weather and participate in a park clean-up, or you serve lunch at a local soup kitchen, you and your mom will enjoy quality time together, while also feeling good about helping the community. Gifts that Give Back You could forego a tangible gift altogether and
instead make a donation in your Mom’s name to charity. Here’s one worthy cause: There are 153 million orphans worldwide, according to UNICEF, many of whom lack basics like food, water, education and medical care. “In honor of Mother’s Day, consider paying tribute to your mother by helping provide a mom to those who don’t have one,” says Caroline Boudreaux, founder of The Miracle Foundation, a non-profit that improves the way orphanages are run, funded and managed. The international charity is currently raising funds to pay the annual salaries and room and board of housemothers working in orphanages in India. Each housemother acts as a mom to 20 orphaned children in her care, creating a nurturing environment where they can thrive. To honor your own mother or another special woman
in your life, consider visiting miraclefoundation.org/ mothers to learn more about the campaign and to make a tax-deductible donation. Use Your Talent Do you sing? Are you a writer or artist? Give your mother a unique creation. From water-colored paintings to a novella starring Mom as the heroine, you can make Mother’s Day extra special by gifting something homemade and one-of-a-kind. If your talents don’t lie in the creative realm, a note to your mom expressing love and appreciation for all that she’s done for you is a great stand-in for a storebought card. Whatever you decide to do for Mom this Mother’s Day, consider celebrating a little differently. While Mom should still take center stage, you can add a lot more meaning to the holiday by thinking outside the box.

Are you or an athlete in your house preparing to play high school football in the 2016 season? Mark your calendars for July 15. That’s the date for the first annual Jehuu Caulcrick Football Camp, which will be held at Southwestern High School beginning at 9 a.m. Born in Liberia, Caulcrick attended Clymer Central School before going on to have an outstanding collegiate career at Michigan State. He was signed as an undrafted free agent into the NFL and played for the New York Jets, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, San Francisco 49ers and Buffalo Bills. He currently serves as the head coach of the Southwestern Trojans. “It’s something that I’ve been wanting to do,” Caulcrick said. “When I was in college I did a couple camps at my old high school in Clymer. I wanted to do something in a bigger capacity.” The camp is open to athletes that will be in grade 9-12 during the next school year. The cost is $60 if preregistered or $65 on the day of. Each camper will receive lunch, a t-shirt and a gift bag. Caulcrick was excited about the staff of high school and collegiate coaches he was able to assemble to help at the camp. Not only will the participants in the camp get some top-notch coaching, but they’ll get exposure in front of potential recruiters. “Coaches are usually eager to help out in any way that they can,” Caulcrick added. “There are a lot of youth camps, but there aren’t a lot of camps in the area for high school kids.”

Caulcrick was also confident that he and that staff can pass down plenty of valuable information and skills in a one-day camp. “I think you can,” he said. “At the end of the day, we’re looking to give these kids at least one new thing that they can learn from. If they just take away one thing that makes them a better football player, then we were successful. It’s definitely going to be a high-paced camp.”
Parents and coaches are encouraged to stick around and watch the action on the field. “It’s open,” Caulcrick noted. “I’m going to try to make it a fun atmosphere for whoever wants to stick around and watch. Maybe parents will see a drill they like and incorporate that. They’re welcome to sit in the bleachers and watch.” After a long winter, both coaches and

COMMENTARY, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 31
er Kolby Listenbee could turn into a steal, too. You can’t teach speed. The team was extremely high on Ohio State quarterback Cardale Jones and was able to snag him with the last pick of the fourth round. He finished his career undefeated as a starter, so he could bring that “winning culture” to Buffalo. Obviously he won’t make an immediate impact (ideally), but in a sense, the Bills got their man. So as the praise comes in from talking heads around the country, Bills fans need to take a step back and remember all of the teams through the years that have been given A-plus grades the day after their draft only to have multiple players flame out once team drills, OTAs, training camp, pre-season games and finally regular season games start. Five years ago, the Atlanta Falcons got a grade of ‘C’ after trading up to get wide receiver Julio Jones at No. 6 overall. You know, Julio Jones? Arguably the most unstoppable force at the position in the league today. Yup. Probably not a ‘C’ anymore. Other crazy things can happen, too. The San Francisco 49ers grabbed Aldon Smith with the 7th overall pick. Yes, Smith provided the team with a couple dynamite years, but probably gave them more headaches than tackles. His off-the-field problems led to an unceremonious departure from the team. They’d probably like a do-over on that one, yet received a solid ‘B’ for
Nick Fairley was in the conversation as the No. 1 overall pick that year. He dropped to the Detroit Lions at No. 13 overall. The Lions were immediately praised for the pick. There were ‘A+’ grades everywhere. Ndamukong Suh and Nick Fairley were going to form the most fearsome defensive line of all time. Fairly now plays for the Saints while Suh is with the Dolphins. The duo managed to compile zero division titles, zero playoff wins and a fat lot of nothing for the Lions during their tenure. It wasn’t a bust pick, but much closer to a ‘C’ than an ‘A+’ probably (especially since Quinn went with the very next The Buffalo Bills drafted DE Shaq Lawson out of Clemson with the pick). 19th overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft.

Both were taken in the fourth round of the 2011 draft. Tight ends taken before Cameron and Thomas: Rob Housler and Lance Kendricks. Love him or hate him, Richard Sherman is one of the best cornerbacks in the game. Sherman was famously taken 154th overall in the fifth round by the Seahawks. There is a litany of cornerbacks that I could list that were taken before Sherman, but you can be pretty sure that none of them are better than Sherman (though Patrick Peterson – 5th overall – certainly has a case). Buffalo’s own Tyrod Taylor was a sixth-round pick (by Baltimore, of course) and went on to make a Pro Bowl this past season. The Dolphins drafted current Bills tight end Charles Clay as a fullback in the sixth round, too. The Eagles took a flyer on center Jason Kelce with the 191st overall pick. Kelce has turned into a Pro Bowl player. So who from the 2016 draft is going to turn into one of these lessons? Will Ezekial Elliot lead a resurgence of running backs being drafted early? Will Jared Goff and Carson Wentz turn into a duo comparable to Phillip Rivers and Eli Manning? Peyton Manning and Ryan Leaf? Blaine Gabbert and Jake Locker? That’s the fun of the draft. Come back to this one in 2021 or so before you judge any team too harshly or favorably. But seriously, it’s hard not to like what the Bills did.

Devils Let One Slip Away Contributed Article FSU Sports Information Dept.
Up 5-4 with two outs and an 0-2 count in the top of the ninth, the Fredonia baseball team couldn't hold on in a 6-5, 11-inning loss to Mercyhurst at Ludwig Field on Tuesday. Mercyhurst, ranked No. 22 in Division II, had won 14 of its last 15 entering the game. The Devils were coming off a three-game sweep of Plattsburgh. With an 0-2 count, the Laker's Chris Gonzalez flipped a single into shallow right field. The next batter, Hank Morrison, was also down 0-2. Two pitches later, he doubled to tie the game. The Devils had a chance to win the game in the 10th. With two out and Dan Cecilia on first following a single, Patrick Sheehan singled to right as Cecilia went first to third. The right fielder bobbled the ball, and Sheehan took off for second, but was thrown out to end the inning. Mercyhurst would later score in the top of the 11th to secure the win. They used a leadoff walk and a stolen base to start the inning. Following a strikeout, an infield throwing error led to the first run. An intentional walk followed by a double play ended the inning. The Devils were unable to muster a run in the bottom of the inning. The Fredonia offense was paced Joshua Crocetti with three hits and James Krolikowski with a pair of singles. Crocetti also drove in a pair of runs. The Devils used nine different pitchers in what was a

Devils Knocked Out Despite Win Over Potsdam Contributed Article FSU Sports Information Dept.
POTSDAM, N.Y. -- Fredonia women's lacrosse got the win it needed Saturday at Potsdam, just not by as large as score they needed to make the SUNYAC Tournament. The Blue Devils emerged with a 9-8 victory over the Bears, yet needed to win by two or more goals to make the six-team SUNYAC Tournament. Instead, Potsdam will go. The heatbreaking part for Fredonia: Potsdam scored its eighth goal with 27 seconds left. Fredonia would also have made the tournament with a win over Potsdam and an Oneonta win over Geneseo. Instead, Geneseo defeated Oneonta. The Blue Devils -- who finished their season with a 7-10 overall record, 3-5 in the SUNYAC -- built an 8-3 halftime lead and were outscored 5-1 in the second half. Senior attack Katie Miller (Hamburg, N.Y./Hamburg) led the attack with five goals and five draw controls. Sophomore midfielder Audrey Yokopovich (Webster, N.Y./Webster Thomas) added two goals and three assists, plus two draw controls and three caused turnovers. Fredonia sophomore goalkeeper Nicole Burrows (Baldwinsville, N.Y./C.W. Baker) made eight saves and collected four groundballs.

The Blue Devils season ended later in the day with a 7-3 loss in the second game of the doubleheader. Freshman right-hander Emily Shellenberger (Philadelphia, Pa./Little Flower Catholic) and Geneseo's Mikayla Moore matched zeroes until the Knights scored an unearned run in the last of the ninth.

Lake Erie Fishing Hotline Contributed Article NYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation
Recent yellow perch runs between Cattaraugus Creek and Sturgeon Point have been productive, with limit catches for some anglers. Best action has been at depths of 45-60 feet of water. Productive areas change, so some searching may be required. Try to locate perch schools with electronics before dropping anchor. It is best to locate a school that is up off the bottom a few feet, as these schools tend to be more active than those tight to the bottom. If perch are biting well and then stop, try raising and lowering the baits (10 feet of the bottom) to draw them back in. Live emerald shiners are the top perch bait, and work best when fished close to the bottom. Many successful Lake Erie perch anglers employ a fluorocarbon rig (See description of rig below and diagram on right, provided by a seasoned Erie perch angler). Emerald shiners are available for dipping at harbor and inlet sites around the upper Niagara River. If you are dipping bait for use on Lake Erie, be sure you stay within the Designated Overland Transportation Corridor. Double Fluorocarbon Perch Rig: Tie a 6 foot section of 6 pound test fluorocarbon line onto the main line using a surgeon's knot. Side a #6 Aberdeen hook onto fluorocarbon line to 3 foot from end, and tie a double overhand knot, leaving a 1.5 inch loop with hook attached. Slide a second hook onto the line to 12-15 inches below the first hook and secure same as first hook. Attach a 1 or 2 ounce sinker, 12-15 inches below the bottom hook. Lake Erie Tributaries Cattaraugus Creek is in good shape with a flow of about 330 cubic feet per second. The Catt is the best bet for any remaining steelhead. Smallmouth bass have moved well up into the creek, and channel catfish are just starting to show in the lowest section. Bass fishing is by catch and release only, artificial lures only until the special black bass season opens on May 7th. All of the other tributaries are low and clear. They are now mostly void of steelhead, but may have some small-
mouth bass in the lowest sections. Upper Niagara River Harbor, bay and inlet areas are good places to target yellow perch and sunfish in the upper river, along Grand Island and the Tonawandas. These areas warm quicker than the main river channel, attracting both bait and panfish. Emerald shiners are the top bait, but other small minnows and worms will work. Anglers usually catch some rainbow trout at this time of year along Unity Island. Target trout by drifting egg sacs and minnows or by casting spoons and spinners. Chautauqua Lake Anglers continue to catch crappie around the lake at depths of 6-12 feet of water, with the best action during morning and evening hours. Good locations to target crappie in the south basin include Ashville Bay, Burtis Bay, Cheney Point, Lakewood Bar, Rock Island and Grass Island. In the north basin, Bemus Bay, Whitney Bay, Dewittville Bay, Magnolia Bay and the flats off Mayville are worth a try. Small jigs (1/32 and 1/64 ounce) with a small minnow, one inch tube or other small plastic and fished under a pencil float, works well for crappie. Yellow perch are biting well in nearshore and deeper areas. Live minnows are the top perch bait. There has been a good bullhead bite in the south basin. The night bite is best, but some have also been caught during the day by crappie anglers. Worms, leeches, dead/salted minnows or chicken livers fished on the bottom work well. Walleye season opens on Saturday, May 7th. Inland Trout Fishing The region's inland trout streams are in good shape with moderate to lower and clear flows. light hatches of blue-winged olives and hendricksons are starting on

some streams. The majority of action is still below the surface on nymphs. Small streamers or buggers also work. Productive offerings for spinning anglers include worms, salted minnows and small inline spinners. If you are a catch-and-release anglers and use spinners, it is good practice to outfit your spinners with a single hook rather than a treble hook.

Bills Ink LT Glenn To Five-Year Extension By John Wawrow AP Sports Writer
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) -- Cordy Glenn has become one of the NFL's top-paid left tackles after agreeing to a five-year, $65 million contract extension with the Buffalo Bills. The Bills announced the deal Tuesday evening, about an hour after Glenn's representatives, Sports Trust Advisors, said on its Twitter account that an agreement had been reached. A person familiar with the contract revealed the contract's worth to The Associated Press, and spoke on the condition of anonymity because neither side provided that figure. By total value, Glenn's contract ranks fourth among left tackles according to Spotrac.com. Dallas Cowboys Tyron Smith tops the list with an eight-year deal worth $97.6 million. Glenn's new contract replaces the $13.7 million franchise tag he signed in March. The Bills placed the designation on Glenn to retain his rights and prevent him from entering free agency. Glenn was selected in the second round of the 2012 draft out of Georgia, and has started 61 games for Buffalo. Last year, he was part of a line that helped Buffalo lead the league with 2,432 yards rushing. Center Eric Wood and left guard Richie Incognito were among several Bills players to congratulate Glenn in messages on their Twitter accounts. ''You earned it brother!'' Woods wrote ''Much deserved!'' added Incognito. Buffalo's starting offensive line is set to return mostly intact after the team resigned Incognito to a three-year, $15 million in March. The only question mark is right tackle Seantrel Henderson, who was diag-

Bills Sign 14 Undrafted Rookies By John Wawrow AP Sports Writer
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) -- As Oklahoma linebacker Eric Striker predicted in an emotional speech made to family and friends after going undrafted last weekend, the sun has risen on his opportunity to pursue an NFL career. Striker was among 14 undrafted rookie free agents reaching deals to sign with the Buffalo Bills on Monday. At 6-feet and 221 pounds, Striker went undrafted despite being a three-year starter, and finishing with 46 1/2 tackles for a loss and 23 sacks. He was also noted for his leadership abilities in earning Oklahoma's Bob Kalsu Award last year. The award is named after the former Sooner offensive lineman, who played the 1968 season
with the Bills and named the team's rookie of the year. Kalsu then left the team to honor his ROTC obligation with the U.S. Army and was killed by mortar fire in Vietnam. On Saturday, a video emerged of Striker tearfully thanking family and friends for being with him through the draft process. ''I know my mom and my dad are a little hurt. Some of you all are hurt, too,'' Striker said, with his voice cracking. ''Don't get caught up in the NFL moment because you know the sun will rise. There's so much potential for me.'' The Bills also agreed to sign Kansas State fullback Glenn Gronkowski, the younger brother of New England Patriots star tight end Rob Gronkowski. Other notable additions were Marshall receiver Davonte Allen and Arizona State receiver Gary Chambers.
Also agreeing to terms with the Bills were: linebacker Bryson Albright (Miami, Ohio), defensive end Claudell Louis (Fresno State), defensive tackle Justin Zimmer (Ferris State), defensive back Julian Whigham (Syracuse), offensive linemen Robert Kugler (Purdue), Jamison Lalk (Iowa State), Marquis Lucas (West Virginia) and Keith Lumpkin (Rutgers), kicker Marshall Morgan (Georgia) and long-snapper Reid Ferguson (LSU). The Bills also freed room on their roster by cutting three players, including defensive end Jarius Wynn, who missed all of last season with a knee injury. Also cut were cornerback Merrill Noel and center Ronald Patrick.

Spieth Refreshed, Ready Following Masters Meltdown By Will Graves Associated Press
Jordan Spieth understands his meltdown at the end of the Masters will follow him. And three weeks later, Spieth's not quite ready to say he's over letting a five-shot lead in the final round morph into that awkward ceremony in the Butler Cabin that ended with him slipping the green jacket on Danny Willett following an ugly and very public collapse. Still, let's not get carried away. "I'm not taking it very hard," Spieth said Tuesday, while attending a FedEx event in suburban Pittsburgh ahead of practice at Oakmont, where he will try to defend his U.S. Open title next month. "I've got ladies at the grocery stores putting their hand on me and going, 'Really praying for you; how are you doing?' I'm like, 'My dog didn't die. I'll be OK. I'll survive.' It happens." It just hadn't really happened to Spieth during the 22-year-old's sprint to the top of the world rankings, a dash that included a pair of major championships and a reputation as one of the game's steadiest players as the holes dwindled and the stakes rose. In the span of 30 minutes during the final round at Augusta, it disappeared. A bogey at 10. Another at 11. That seemingly endless sequence on 12 where he hit the ball into Rae's Creek not once but twice on his way to a quadruple bogey 7 that cost him control of the tournament. "It was just bad timing on the wrong hole," Spieth said. "And you know, it is what it is, and I'll move on. If you're in contention at a major, hopefully 50-plus times in your career, something like that is bound to happen. Just don't let it happen again." Spieth endured the uncomfortable post-round ceremony with Willett, whose brilliant closing 5-under-par 67 will be forever tied with the way Spieth let it slip away. Spieth admitted "this one will hurt" in the aftermath and he's spent the last few weeks trying to decompress and get ready for the daunting test that awaits at Oakmont in June. So Spieth did what most early 20-somethings with time to burn and money to spend did: he went on a well-appointed Spring Break. Spieth joined Rickie Fowler, Smylie Kaufman and Justin Thomas for a getaway at a tropical resort that Fowler chronicled via Snapchat, a vacation that included a little golf and a lot of unwinding. "We were having fun, we were relaxed," Spieth said. "We were able to play golf and golf was kind of secondary to the relaxation part of the trip." It will be back to work on Wednesday when Spieth takes a long look at Oakmont, which is prepping to host its ninth U.S. Open and first since 2007, before heading to Florida for next week's Players Championship. Spieth plans to treat his preparation for the rugged test in the Western Pennsylvania hills much the same way he got ready for Chambers Bay last summer, when he edged Dustin Johnson and Louis Oosthuizen by a stroke. Spieth will try to get a feel for Oakmont this week then arrive early in June for a far different kind of test than the one found at the three other majors. Angel Cabrera captured the Open in its last visit to Oakmont with a four-round total of 5 over par. Compare that to the 18 under par Spieth posted while winning at Augusta in 2015 or even the 5-under he put up at Chambers Bay. It will take nerves to survive and regardless of what that stretch at the Masters looked like, Spieth isn't worried about his confidence being rattled should he be in the mix on Father's Day. "Our team can draw on the wins, and that's what we're going to do," he said. "We've now had a chance to win coming down the stretch in six majors and we've won two of them, including the last five and 2014 Masters. So that's still a pretty good percentage, if you're in contention six times, you win two of them, a third

of the time. Considering my age, and hopefully with continued good health and continued improved play, if we keep that percentage up, we'll be all right." John Daly at 50, and the Senior Circuit Beckons The celebration for John Daly began the day he became eligible for the PGA Tour Champions. Not just because he turned 50, rather the fact he made it to 50. ''You know about that bet I had with Fuzzy, don't you?'' Daly said over the phone last week as he grilled his birthday dinner - pork chops and rice - at Cowboys Golf Club in Dallas. ''Fuzzy (Zoeller) said I'd never make it to 50. He said, 'I'll give you $150,000 if you make it to 50.' I told him I'd have to take that bet. I told him I wouldn't be able to pay him if I was dead. I called him the other day and he said: 'That's right. I do remember making that bet.' ''But I'm not going to make him pay,'' Daly said. ''I told him he could give me a free bottle of his vodka.'' The PGA Tour Champions has been referred to as golf's greatest mulligan. Daly knows something about that. ''Just being out there, it's like I have a new job,'' he said. ''A new life.'' Serious or not, there's a reason Zoeller made that bet. From the drinking and gambling, four divorces, two trips to alcohol rehab and the parade of demons and doubts in his head, it's a wonder Daly made it this far. There are enough wild adventures to fill a book, so Daly wrote one 10 years ago - ''John Daly: My Life In and Out of the Rough.'' Among other things, Daly revealed that his second daughter (Sierra) was named after a rehab center in Arizona where he spent three months. He is honest to a fabulously entertaining fault. Next up is the 50-and-older circuit. Daly makes his debut this week at the Insperity Invitational outside Houston, where tournament officials are expecting attendance to double.

NASCAR’s Talladega Wreckfest Comes At A Price By Jenna Fryer AP Auto Racing Writer
TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) -- Nobody needs to be reminded that racing is inherently dangerous. We all know drivers assume the risks. It's understood that no one forces a driver to compete. That shoulder-shrug approach doesn't make the scorecard from Sunday's race at Talladega Superspeedway any easier to accept. The delicate line between sport and entertainment was dangerously straddled by 40 drivers roaring along in a pack of cars at 200 mph. When the dust settled, 35 cars had been involved in at least one accident and two cars went airborne. When Kevin Harvick's car lifted off the track in a last-lap crash, it finally put an end to the chaos. Yes, driver after driver exited their race car unharmed. Save for some bruises to her arms and legs and soreness when she took her breath, Danica Patrick scrambled to safety following the most frightening crash of her career. So, yes, we celebrate on Monday that no one was injured, and better yet, no one died in the carnage that was a typical Talladega race. But all that wrecking came at a price. The cost of damaged race cars on Sunday neared $10 million in losses across the grid, according to an informal survey Monday by The Associated Press of five top race teams. Within that series-wide estimate, some teams estimated they lost $500,000 per car total loss situations - while others estimated $250,000 without including any engine damage. Those losses, the terrifying tumbles taken by Chris Buescher and Matt Kenseth, the hard licks into the wall, the parking-lot effect from a 21-car accident, all of it is accepted as part of the show. Racing at Daytona and Talladega, the only two tracks in NASCAR that require the use of horsepower-sapping restrictor plates to slow the cars, simply is what it is. That's all fine and well because everybody knows what they signed up for, right? Not exactly. Cars should not be going airborne anymore. IndyCar faced this same issue in the buildup to the Indianapolis 500 last year, when three cars took flight in terrifying crashes. Rules were immediately implemented to keep the cars on the track, and IndyCar again issued a mandate in car design for this month's race. NASCAR is in the same position and went to work Monday studying the wrecks to see what can be altered to keep cars from lifting off the track. ''We never want to see cars get up in the air,'' Steve O'Donnell, NASCAR's chief racing development officer, told AP.

Improved communication between NASCAR, owners and drivers should lead to solutions. O'Donnell said the new collaboration gives NASCAR a new ''ability to work with the race teams and their top engineers'' on how to keep cars on the track. Kyle Busch, who broke his leg and foot in a crash at Daytona last year, said after his second-place finish Sunday that he'd rather stay home than participate in plate races. Third-place finisher Austin Dillon admitted: ''We all have to do it; I don't know how many really love it.'' Dillon walked away from a frightening airborne accident on the last lap of last July's race at Daytona, an incident he said is ''not a fun thing to be a part of.'' He has faith that NASCAR understands the drivers' concerns. ''I know NASCAR will put their efforts toward fixing it,'' he said. ''They've made the car safer. That's the reason why we're walking away from these crashes. I think as a group, all of us want it to be where we're not leaving the ground.'' It's important to put Sunday's demolition derby in at least a little bit of perspective. Yes, the destruction was unusually high. But the threat of rain played a huge role in the multiple accidents. Normally, the aggression in plate races doesn't come until about 30 laps remain and many drivers spend most of the race riding around in the hope they can stay out of trouble to make a late run for the win. They couldn't wait Sunday because rain could have
ended the race with no notice. It meant the pace was much faster from start to finish. ''It was almost like the entire race was overtime,'' O'Donnell said. ''Everybody was on the gas each and every lap. There was one point where we had weather 100 yards away, four laps to go until the halfway point and two laps to go in the fuel runs. That certainly produced three-wide racing from start to finish.'' Plate racing isn't going away anytime soon, though various measures could be taken to reduce the pack element - remove the restrictor-plates, slow the cars, knock down the banking at Daytona and Talladega - nothing should be eliminated from conversation as NASCAR tries to ''fix'' the issues plaguing the four events each year. Not everyone is convinced the racing needs to be fixed. Brad Keselowski picked up his fourth Talladega victory and had few complaints after the race. Of course, he ran up front and ahead of much of the chaos. ''I'm a capitalist,'' he said. ''There's people still paying to sit in the stands, there's sponsors still on the cars, drivers still willing to get in them. Kind of sounds like it's self-policing, and there's enough interest to keep going, so we'll keep going.''
