Keeping The Faith
Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church Fredonia fcfredonia.org
#54 Dear Pastor, how does the Resurrection affect me?
Dear Keeping the Faith reader, many people view the Resurrection as a historical event that has no current relevance or application in our life. Nothing could be further from the truth. The Resurrection is a vital and integral part of every believer in Jesus Christ. In the Book of Ephesians, the Apostle Paul prayed that believers would come to understand the tremendous power that has been made available to them through the Resurrection. Due to space limitations, we will only list verses 17-20 of Chapter 1, “That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, (18) the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what
is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, (19) and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power (20) which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places….” This prayer tells us that the greatest exercise of God’s power was the Resurrection. This scripture also tells us that it is so important that we know and understand what God has called us to and what His plan is for our life. It is also important to recognize that power is still available to us today and declares that God wants to use this Resurrection power to help us do His will in our life!
However, in order to qualify for this scripture…you must be a Believer or follower of Jesus Christ. If you have not yet been born-again, I want to encourage you to accept Christ into your heart so that you will be His and have access to all that is written in the Word. Making this decision will not only guarantee an eternity in God’s presence, but will allow the mighty power of the Resurrection to reign in your life! If you have just been or are already a born-again believer, I want to encourage you to pray this prayer for yourselves and Christian loved ones. This will help you to better understand the power made available through the Resurrection and how to tap into it.

Jim Holler, Trinity Guitars, Donates Guitar to Infinity Contributed Article Infinity Center
Jim Holler, guitar luthier and owner of Trinity Guitars, has always been a supporter of the greater Jamestown community and the arts. This month, Holler made a donation to Infinity in the form of a 12 string guitar, a wonderful and unique musical addition for the students at the Infinity Center. This is just another item in a long string of donations that Holler makes annually to the organization since opening his guitar shop on West Third Street in 2009. Holler says, “The youth of our community are really one of our most valuable resources, and the services that Infinity provides for them are important. Having a positive influence on youth is something that everyone should try to do. The arts are certainly something that have a positive influence on people.” Infinity Executive Director, Shane Hawkins, says, “Jim Holler is such a terrific person to know and work with. Every community should be so lucky to have a business owner who so intentionally and actively seeks to make a positive impact on the community causes that they believe in. Jim, Bill Ward, and Kathy Foster at Trinity Guitars are all always so willing to help us with any equipment questions or research, assist with instrument repairs, and so many other things. They are such an asset to our organization and community.”

Trinity Guitars also produces the “Backroom Radio Hour” on WRFALP which features live performances of local and regional musicians. Infinity music students have been invited to perform in productions of this show, which gives them a unique experience and a chance to be heard on the radio. In addition to promoting local music, the Backroom Radio Hour also shares information about different local nonprofits and community causes during each show. Jim says, “By highlighting organizations with local ties I’m hoping that we are influencing people to get involved in the organizations that they are passionate about.” Holler also added, “I didn’t have a program like Infinity while I was growing up. I think I would have followed a similar path for my career, but I would be a much better musician today if I had a program like Infinity around.” In addition to
continually and generously supporting Infinity, Jim also serves as a volunteer board member for Community Helping Hands, and says, “Helping Hands and Infinity are very similar because they are both so unique. Any city, small or large, should wish they had programs like these in their community.” ABOUT INFINITY Infinity is a music and arts education and performing arts center that offers private lessons and group experiences within five pillars of the arts: music, art, dance, theater, and literature.

Spring Cleaning By Katy Wise Contributing Writer
It's Spring cleaning time!! Today, as I write this, it's actually warm outside. That means it's finally time to get around to all the stuff that had to be put off for warmer weather. For me, that means painting the playroom table and chairs, the shed and for my husband it means clearing the brush out of the backyard and setting up the playground that our boys are patiently awaiting. Whatever is on your agenda, making a list will help you get it done. I've shared my love of lists before, but they are one of the best ways to stay on top of things. Especially if you have a mom-brain to work with. So to get your home freshened up for spring, find a day to get started and take it from the top! No, literally, take it from the top. Dusting is always first when I clean, so that the dust gets vacuumed, wiped, and swept up with everything else. Nobody wants dust on a freshly cleaned surface. If you need a good duster, swifter is the way to go. We have the extendable one which is the perfect height for our ceilings, and also can bend to get the tops of fan blades. The dusters are disposable, which keeps your surfaces fresh and doesn't redistribute the dust you're trying to get rid of. They are the perfect size for dusting around recessed light bulbs, and also the perfect size for little helpers! Our boys think it's a special treat to help Mommy dust, which makes for quick and fun cleaning. Next come the windows and counters, or anything mid level that can collect the fallen dust bunnies. And then, of course, the floors. In a house with a crawling baby (and two little boys), I clean our floors pretty much every single day. Sometimes two or three or five times a day if we are being realistic. The easiest way to keep floors clean is to keep dirt off of them. Which means keeping shoes off of them. This will also make your flooring last longer! Another way to keep your house clean is to sort through your stuff. I'm sure we aren't the only household that has too much of this stuff. Take a good look at your toys, clothes and even small appliances. If you struggle to recall when you last used it, chances are pretty good that you no longer need it. Same goes for clothes! Something that hasn't been worn in the last year (with the exception of special occasion clothes) does not need to be kept.
We are constantly packing up boxes of clothing because our kids grow like weeds. Boxes and bags of clothing are constantly coming and going. And I recently boxed up some of my last maternity clothes that have been hanging out for five years. Look for places or people to donate to, that will get the best use out of your no longer needed items. This is one of the easiest ways to clean up your house for the coming months. Less stuff means less clutter! I hope to share some more home improvement projects with you in the near future. There's a lot on our agenda, so we are hoping for some cooperative weather! As always, thanks for reading, and happy cleaning from HBK!

Zonta Club of Jamestown Donates Books for Babies Contributed Article Zonta Club
As part of their role in helping to give area babies the best possible start in life, staff with Chautauqua County’s Nurse Family Partnership and Maternal and Infant Community Health Collaborative encourage families to read to their children, starting in early infancy. There was just one problem: many of the homes they visit were very short on books. “Our program budget does not allow for purchase of books,” explains Project Director Catherine Burgess, RN, “so we did some brainstorming and Books for Babies was born. We are thrilled that the Zonta Club of Jamestown responded as the first organization to help us by collecting new and gently-used books to share with the families we serve.” “Community Health Workers and Registered Nurses with our program are not simply delivering books to the home; they are using these books to model the type of positive parent-child interaction that stimulates early literacy skills,” states Ms. Burgess. According to experts at National Association for the Education of Young Children, such early literacy skills might include allowing infants to play with books as objects, pointing out colors, shapes and familiar objects to the child, helping an older baby to turn pages, and getting into the habit of holding and reading a book with a baby, even if it’s only for a few minutes at a time. “Reading was a big deal when my daughter Macie was growing up. We read every night. So, I can’t imagine not having books to read with the kids.” Said Kellie Warner, member of the Zonta Club of Jamestown. Kellie helped to coordinate a collection

JCC OFFERING “REAL WORLD” EXPERIENCES THROUGH INTERSHIP, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6 Citing data from the National Association of Colleges and Employers, Garifi noted that employers report that 62% of new college hires had internship experience and nearly half of employers said they offer higher starting salaries to new college hires who have internship experience. According to Garifi, JCC also encourages students currently attending other colleges and universities to enroll in JCC’s credit internships this summer. “We work with students from various colleges each year who complete their internships while home for the summer and then transfer the credits earned back to the institutions they attend,” he said. “This can provide a significant cost savings to the students as JCC’s tuition is likely to be the more affordable option.” Students completing credit internships through JCC must have successfully completed at least 24 credits and earned a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0. Students interested in enrolling in summer internships as well as employers willing to host interns are encouraged to call JCC’s experiential learning office at 716.338.1381 or 800.388.8557, ext. 1381, or visit www.sunyjcc.edu/summer.

A dedicated group at the Silver Creek Central School District is learning lyrics, memorizing steps and finding the right rhythm to raise funds for their Music Department. Cabaret Night, a musical event taking place Friday, April 1, is the first of its kind in the district. It will showcase not only the various talents of students and staff, but also support the arts. Due to budget constraints, the district is able to stage a student musical only every other year. But in the meantime, the district is brimming with creativity that cannot be suppressed and Cabaret Night is their chance to shine and show some love for the Music Department. “We wanted to do something for the kids and highlight their talents,” said Carolyn Laurenzi, a high school English teacher who is organizing the event along with middle school/high school chorus teacher Shannon Connors. “And it will help build up the music program.” The unique event is a compilation of different songs from a variety of musicals. It is not a talent show, because it is all choreographed and staged. There will be soloists, ensembles, dancers and instrumental performances. And as an added bonus, a hotly anticipated staff number will surprise and delight students and the public. A little-known fact about school musicals – they cost money. School dis-

tricts must pay rights fees when staging one. The fee varies, but typically run from about $1,000 up to several thousand dollars. And that is before taking into account props, costumes, makeup and other related expenses. Last year’s musical was Little Women and the district is still deciding on a musical for next year. In contrast, Cabaret Night is “virtually free” to stage, according to Laurenzi. A plethora of songs from Wicked, My Fair Lady, Into the Woods Hairspray, The Sound of Music, and more will be featured. The evening will be broken into two 40-minute acts with an interlude between songs where the two student directors, tenth-grader Samantha Page and senior Katelyn Whitford, will discuss each number and its origin. “It’s a lot less to memorize,” Laurenzi said. “It’s not as much as a full musical.” Auditions were held in December and students have been rehearsing four days per week after school. As the date approaches, the talented
youngsters are ramping up their efforts with additional weekend rehearsals. The Music and Theater Booster Club is also helping out behind the scenes. “It’s really interesting to see how the kids are enjoying it so much,” said Laurenzi. “It is almost effortless on my part.” Music Director Shannon Connors is in charge of teaching music to the students while Laurenzi is overseeing staging and choreography. Student music director is senior Kathryn Cymerman and accompanist for the evening is social studies teacher Kristen Foley. Cabaret Night will be held Friday, April 1 – otherwise known as April Fools’ Day – in the SCCS auditorium at 7 p.m. There will be two 40-minute acts with a 15-minute intermission. Refreshments will be available during a bake sale and there will also be basket raffles. Boxes will be set up for patron donations. The public is encouraged to attend. All proceeds will go toward the 2017 school musical, so you’d be a “fool” to miss it!

Since the patient is given either general anesthesia or sedation, the whole procedure is less uncomfortable than the description suggests. Many patients, nevertheless, are apparently squeamish. Even more disagreeable, to some patients, is the need to clear the bowels in preparation. You need to quit eating solid foods a day ahead and then take a substance that triggers a powerful bowel-clearing diarrhea. What happens during a colonoscopy? Most colonoscopies are performed as an outpatient and in an outpatient setting. Generally, the colonoscopy follows this process: • You will be given a gown to wear.
• An IV (intravenous) line will be inserted in your arm or hand. A sedative or a pain medicine will be injected into the IV. • Your heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, and oxygen level will be checked during the procedure. • You will be asked to lie on your left side with your knees pulled up. • A lubricated tube will be moved into your rectum and colon. You may feel mild pressure, or cramping during the procedure. • A sedative is used to reduce your discomfort and many people fall into a light sleep. • The doctor will check your colon and may take photos. If a polyp is seen, it often is removed at that time. In some cases, however, it may be left there until another procedure is done. • After the procedure is over, the tube will be taken out and
you will awaken in the recovery room.Most patients have little memory of the colonoscopy procedure. Most patients have little memory of the colonoscopy procedure. The bottom line is, when it comes to preventing, detecting and treating colorectal cancer, no excuses are acceptable. While the preparation for a colonoscopy may be the biggest objection, the short time of discomfort can lead to long term health and save you from a potentially deadly cancer. Westfield Memorial Hospital offers a Direct Scope Access program to make scheduling a screening colonoscopy easier for patients and physicians.

What Does Fitness Do For You? things, so what makes fitness goals any different? Most people are able to sacrifice in order to be successful in business; they’re willing to give up time on TV and social media, parties, and sometimes even sleep! But when it comes to fitness, this amazing drive so clearly shown in other aspects of life seems to lie dormant, only rearing its head on special occasions. There are a few reasons why By Brad Jarrett I’ve seen people struggle with Contributing Writer the motivation to come, and stay consistent in the gym.

But out to accomplish doesn’t mean as you know, accomplishing enough to them; YET. any goal in life requires these
These issues have plagued people and their fitness for far too long. Think about it, if you don’t place high value on the body you’ve been given, how will you treat it? Let’s say I handed you the keys to and old, beat up 1974 Oldsmobile Station Wagon; what’re you going to do with it? Throw junk in it, kick the doors shut, wash it every other month, etc. and I wouldn’t blame you! Because the car is not of high value. Now say I handed you the keys to a brand new 2016 Lamborghini Gallardo; what would you do with THAT car, after you got done hugging and kissing me for 3 hours? You’d take incredible care of it, wash it every week, be careful of what you put inside, and cruise around happily with the amazing gift you’ve been given! Do you see
HEALTH 15
the connection? When something is of little value, we fill it with junk, get it dirty, and beat it up. When things are of high value, we do the exact opposite. As Zig Zigglar says, the amazing thing is; YOUR body is worth a BILLION dollars. How do I know? Because there is no rich man who, lying on his death bed would not be willing to pay a billion dollars in return for another day living with a body that functions like yours. WOW!!! You’re walking around with a billion dollar asset every day!! (P.S. That is more expensive than a Lamborghini Gallardo) How lucky are you? But the real question is; how do YOU take care of your asset? Let’s move on to reason number two: the fitness objective
you’re looking to accomplish may not mean enough to you; yet. The meaning of this can vary from person to person just as easily as fitness objectives do. For example, someone who is looking to have 6-pack abs, but is unwilling to give up their alcoholic beverages is proving the abs don’t matter as much as the 6-pack they have on the weekend. This is OKAY! Maybe now isn’t the time for them to focus on 6-pack abs. The good thing about objectives is, they are not time dependant, meaning they are not failed until you quit. Another example would be a man who says he wants to be healthy and functional well into his later years. If he is unwilling to change unhealthy eating habits, it proves living a long healthy life doesn’t mean as much to him as he’d like to think. This CONTINUED ON PAGE 18
Women and Heart Attacks Smoking, lack of physical activity, poor nutrition, obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure are all factors that can be changed, for both men and women. However, family history of early heart disease is a non-modifiable risk factor for men and women alike. There are also non-modifiable factors unique to women including being over age 55, and a history of preeclampsia during pregnancy. The link between By Tonja Dodd hormones and heart disease is Contributing Writer being studied, premenopausal women tend to be protected The American Heart Associa- because of estrogen and other tion surveyed 2300 women and hormones present in larger amounts - and the science of found only 53% were aware that relationship continues to that heart disease is the leading killer for women.

Women have similar a real heart disease risk for risk factors as men too, with a women. few unique to women. The usual suspects – smoking,
nutrition, weight and exercise - are so important yet so hard to change. The good news is there is a public effort to create opportunities for everyone to be healthier – policies and the shifting of social norms are here– for instance laws that prohibit public smoking encourage personal cessation; government funding for parks and recreation space along with bans on supersizing and the like are also helping shift the norm toward a healthier you. Social marketing campaigns have helped as well. In 1997, only 30% of women knew that heart disease was the leading killer (it has been for decades). It is the prevention of depression and its link to heart disease that deserves more attention. For one, regular physical activity has been proven to improve one’s mood and prevent depressive symptoms. To achieve this result, exercise
for better health is all that is needed - 10 minute increments of moderate-intensity activity for at least 150 minutes per week (longer sessions, greater intensity and total minutes is better); along with 2 days a week of strengthening exercises. Moderate intensity refers to activity that is as hard as walking a mile in 15 minutes. Strengthening activity could be lifting weights, doing push-ups, squats and sit-ups, resistance bands, gardening or yoga. For seniors, be cautious of your limitations but do try to work up to the recommendations if you can – and, any activity is better than being sedentary. There is emerging data linked to overall good health and less depression with those seniors who have strong social networks. Additionally, strong social networks promote better physical health, lower death rates, fewer hospitalizations and more engagement in
healthy behaviors. A strong social network is determined by strong connections with family and friends – having 5 or more family members that one hears from or sees monthly; feels at ease talking about private matters; and, can ask for help, is best. The same goes for the number of friends/neighbors who meet these needs. Having at least one or two family members, friends or neighbors who meets these qualifications is far better than none. Finally, warning signs and symptoms of a heart attack are different for women – they include shortness of breath; back and abdominal pain and nausea are signs as well as the classic signs such as central chest pain or pressure that radiates to the left arm and jaw. Call 911 immediately if you experience these warnings.

It is programs like WCA’s that are turning the tide in the fight against the epidemic of type 2 diabetes.” Betsy T. Wright, FACHE, WCA Hospital President/CEO added, “Achieving Full Recognition from the CDC reflects the high quality of WCA’s Diabetes Prevention Program as well as our staff’s commitment to our patients’ long-term health.” The WCA Hospital Diabetes Prevention 16-week Workshop Program focuses on the process of adopting lifestyle changes for healthy eating and physical activity. “You can prevent type 2 diabetes,” says Janine Brady, program instructor. “The sessions are designed to help participants develop life-long skills for healthy living and reinforce step-by-step change.

4 Tips to Spruce Up for Less Contributed Article StatePoint
If you’re looking to make a big change around the house, tidying up can make all the difference. Spruce up your life -- from your wardrobe to home décor – with these tips from the discount experts at Dollar General. Audit Your Closet Out with the old and in with the new. As the seasons change, it’s necessary to make room for a new wardrobe. First, go through your closet and select the items you haven’t worn lately and plan to either donate or give to a friend. Consider consigning highquality garments. The money you earn can be put toward your wardrobe budget. Only after you’ve made space should you go shopping. You can search for new seasonal apparel without cluttering your house. Be sure to purchase items that are interchangeable, allowing you to mix and match outfits for different seasons, while saving space and money. Home Cleaning Tips There’s such a rewarding feeling of accomplishment after cleaning a house from top to bottom. Instead of waiting to clean the entire house occasionally all at once, take the initiative of completing easy tasks on a more regular basis. The work will seem manageable and you’ll keep your home cleaner overall this way. Here are a few easy tasks to help you get started: eliminate odors in your kitchen by setting a bowl of coffee grounds inside your fridge. Clean your dishwasher by pouring white vinegar in the detergent dispenser and running a cycle. Absorb leaks and odors at the bottom of your trashcan by placing a handful of newspapers at the bottom.

Simple Seasonal Tips to Keep Plumbing Operating Smoothly
Contributed Article StatePoint
Proper seasonal maintenance can keep your plumbing running smoothly. Experts say that even those with no experience can inspect for issues and perform simple tasks to prevent costly repairs. “You don’t have to be a crackerjack plumber to handle basics and protect your home,” says Jeff Devlin, host on HGTV and DIY Networks. Devlin offers homeowners some key plumbing tips: Kitchens and Bathrooms Ensure drains have strainers to prevent debris from clogging drain lines. Check faucets for drips and leaks. Inspect the toilet tank and bowl for visible cracks. Check for hidden leaks by adding six drops of food coloring to the tank. If the toilet is leaking, color will appear in the bowl within 30 minutes. Ensure toilets flush properly. If the handle must be held down to flush, or jiggled to stop water from running, you may need to replace parts. Clean mineral deposits from the shower head. Unscrew it and soak in vinegar overnight. Then gently scrub with an old toothbrush. Water Heater Carefully drain several gallons from the tank to flush out corrosion-causing sediment, which reduces heating efficiency and shortens the life of the heater. Consider replacing those older than 15 years with a new, energy-efficient model. Appliances Check your dishwasher, washing machine and ice maker’s supply hoses for bulges or leaks. Replace hoses showing signs of weakness or those older than ten years. Use stainless steel hoses, which are more reliable and less prone to bursting. Clean your washing machine lint trap, and place a wire trap or a piece of pantyhose over the end of the hose that drains the washer. General

Pour water into infrequently used drains to fill traps and prevent odors. Slow floor drains should be snaked to ensure they’ll carry water away during flooding. Take a reading on your water meter before bedtime. The next morning, without using any water overnight, take another reading. If it’s changed, you have a leak that should be repaired. Outside Free yard drains, gutters and downspouts of debris. Check for bird nests in plumbing vent pipes. Check faucets and hose bibs to ensure water flows freely. If an outdoor faucet drips, or if there is leakage inside your home the first time the hose is turned on, you may have had a frozen pipe that cracked and needs to be replaced. Be Equipped
Look for commercial-quality products designed with average consumers in mind. For example, RotoRooter, the number one brand in plumbing, with 80 years of experience, now offers a complete line of consumer products that contain 25 percent more active ingredients and clear clogs 50 percent faster than the competition. “It’s stronger and faster which means you can get the job done right the first time,” says Devlin. Devlin, who lives in an historic farmhouse, recommends the brand’s Septic Treatment, which contains twice the amount of enzymes to keep septic tanks in balance. More information about the product line can be found at rotorooter-products.com. “Be proactive,” says Devlin. “A few minutes of prevention could save you tens of thousands of dollars in costly repairs.”

How to Get a Great Lawn in Less Time
Contributed Article StatePoint
A stunning lawn is the trademark of most proud homeowners. After all, the front yard is the first thing visitors and passersby see. But achieving and maintaining the perfect landscape can be time consuming without the right tools. Want more of your weekends back? Experts say achieving professional-level results in less time starts with the equipment you use to do the job. Take stock of the tools in your garage or shed. Are they up to the task? If you’re spending too much time on the yard, it may be time to make some key upgrades. The right lawnmower, for example, “is not just an investment in the beauty of your property, it’s an investment in your quality of life,” says Judy Altmaier, general manager of Exmark, a leading manufacturer of mowers and other lawn equipment. “A faster mower means more free time, plain and simple.”
With that principle in mind, here are a few insights about what to look for when replacing an older mower with a new, more efficient model. • Maneuverability: Between trees, flower beds and other landscape features, a mower should be easy to maneuver, so you can mow closer and spend less time with the trimmer. • Quality of cut: Not all mowers offer the same quality of cut. When choosing a new mower, take this factor into consideration, as well as the type of lawn and grass you have. • Durability: A durable mower will include features such as welded, fabricated cutting decks, commercial engines and heavy-duty welded, tubular steel unibody frames. For quick guidance, consider taking a cue from those who make a living by being more efficient in the yard – landscape professionals. “These days, it’s safe to say that zero-turn riding mowers have become the tool of choice among landscape professionals,” says Altmaier.
Those from Exmark, for example, are available at various price points and offer great mower productivity, power and durability. For more information, visit www.Exmark.com. This season, give yourself more time and energy to enjoy the yard you so painstakingly maintain.

Spring Tips to Attract Beautiful Birds to Your Yard Contributed Article StatePoint
When hosting neighbors and friends for spring gatherings, your thoughts may dwell on accommodating guests. But how often do you consider your animal visitors? “During spring, flocks of birds migrate and are looking for places to refuel and rest,” says Spencer Schock, Founder of WindowAlert, makers of birdfriendly products for homes. “A few small tweaks to your yard, is like placing out a welcome mat.” Unfortunately, migration is not without peril or hardship, but Schock says turning your home into a refuge for birds can be fun and add beauty to your yard. He offers these tips to keep feathered travelers safe during their migratory journey. • Protect flight: Millions of birds die annually by striking glass, making windows a hazard to birds in flight. Try applying special decals that reflect ultraviolet sunlight to your home’s windows, particularly those windows that are highly reflective of open sky. The decals won’t affect your view because they’re virtually invisible to humans, but will help keep birds safe. For example, those from WindowAlert have patterns that give the appearance of slightly frosted translucent glass, but glow like a stoplight for birds. The brand also makes a high-tech liquid called WindowAlert UV Liquid, which can be applied between decals. Such ultraviolet decals have been scientifically proven to keep birds safer. A 2015 American Bird Conservancy Study found that the more WindowAlert decals that were applied to a piece of glass covering the departure point of a flight tunnel, the more birds avoided it (a net protected all the birds in the study from actually getting hurt, no matter where they chose to fly). • Bed and Breakfast: Birdfeeders come in all shapes, sizes and styles, and simply adding one to your yard can help beautify it and give birds the

energy needed to continue their flight. Remember though, bird strikes are often a problem near bird feeders, as feeding birds are easily frightened and are apt to take wild, evasive flight; position feeders closer than three feet or farther than 30 feet from windows. If your feeder is close to the window, birds fly away from the house. Believe it or not, the safest type of feeder is the kind that attach to the window itself. You can also make your home’s outdoor spaces more bird-friendly filling your garden with the right plants and flowers for pollinating bird species.
• Watch and record: Grab a pair of binoculars and a field guide book and take note of the types of birds you see and when. This will help you become better prepared for next season. In addition, consider becoming a “citizen scientist” by submitting your observations to The Audubon Society and Cornell University’s database at ebird.org. For more tips on making your home and garden a bird haven, visit WindowAlert.com. “By making a few simple modifications to your yard and home, you can assist birds on their long journey,” says Schock.

Refreshing Spring Entertaining Ideas Contributed Article StatePoint
When it comes to successful springtime entertaining, think light and refreshing food and drink. Keeping flavors and colors cool will infuse your get-together with energy and zest. Food When the weather warms, let your guests’ plates cool with fresh salads and cold soups like gazpacho or chilled pea soup. Get fresh produce in season at your farmer’s market or grocer. Serving up big helpings of colorful vegetables will bring seasonal freshness directly to your table. Great appetizers for spring include shrimp cocktail and fresh tomato bruschetta. Serve dips like hummus and guacamole with freshly chopped vegetables like bell peppers and carrots. All of these are easily prepared and refreshing starters in warm weather. For main dishes, rely on cold proteins: chilled roasted chicken or poached fish can be paired with a pasta salad and topped with mozzarella or goat cheese. These ideas are great for serving family-style, giving you more time to mingle. Remember, simplicity should extend to your hosting duties! Drinks Wine and cocktails are the stars of the show at any good get-together. This spring, think about going beyond traditional warm weather drinks. A delicious, unexpected choice is Port wine. With all its diverse styles (ruby, tawny, rosé, and white), Port should not be reserved for the colder months. Certain types work perfectly in warm weather, such as Croft Pink Port, a crisp, ripe and fruity wine. Serve chilled with a squeeze of lime or in a rosé sangria; it’s a great pairing for lighter meals. Warmer days also call for lighter cocktails that are

lower in alcohol. Try Fonseca Siroco, a dry white Port, that is delicious served over ice, topped with tonic, and garnished with a lemon peel. It’s a simple and refreshing spring sipper. Some Tawny Port wines are great served chilled, such as Croft Reserve Tawny or Taylor Fladgate 10 Year Old Tawny. They are light, nutty, and have good acidity, making them a naturally refreshing choice for an excellent aperitif on their own or paired with hard, nutty cheeses or paté. A glass of Port also offers a lighter, warm weather alternative to end a meal, satisfying sweet cravings
without eating an entire heavy dessert. Port, which was once thought of as a classic winter drink, is now lightened up to be enjoyed any time of the year. It’s also one of the few wines that keeps in the refrigerator for weeks after being opened; ready to go for those impromptu spring sipping moments. Taylor Fladgate, Fonseca and Croft are all famed Port producers to try. Above all, have fun with your food and drinks this spring entertaining season, keeping everything light and easy for you and your guests.

Does Your Household Need a Generator? What to Consider Contributed Article StatePoint
With increasingly volatile weather patterns and a growing reliance on technology, more people are becoming familiar with the benefits of having a back-up generator at home. But beyond the importance of immediate backup power in the event of an outage, a generator can have many other benefits in your life -- at home and when you’re on-the-go. Given the lower prices of today’s models, generators are becoming a product more consumers choose to purchase. Here, Jason Sutton, vice president of Sales & Service at FIRMAN Power Equipment, offers tips for finding a suitable back-up generator for your household, and advice on getting the best use out of it. • Go Camping or Hunting: Take your campsite to the next level. Even if you’re roughing it, you’ll be happy to be able to charge the gadgets and keep the music going at your campsite. For ease of travel, consider a lightweight inverter generator designed for mobility. Inverters provide fuel efficiency, clean power for sensitive electronics, and a quiet motor that won’t bug fellow campers at neighboring campsites. • On the Water: A backup generator can make your next boating trip a more comfortable experience. Just be sure to follow safety precautions -- never operate your generator in an enclosed or wet space. • Tailgating: Cold pizza never hurt anybody, but you can do better than

that at your next tailgate party. And a backup generator can assist you with this culinary effort. Whether you’re blending up a batch of margaritas, or keeping the chili steaming throughout the day, you’ll be glad to have a source of long-term power. • Shopping for a generator: When shopping for a generator, make an informed consumer decision with a
little groundwork. First, determine your wattage requirements by listing the running watts and starting watts for each device you intend to power at once, and add them together. Other factors to consider are the type of fuel you prefer and what your generator’s primary use will be – whether that’s home emergencies, RV road trips or tailgate parties.

Hints for Tackling Tough Household Chores Contributed Article StatePoint
A long to-do list can seem daunting. But it doesn’t have to. A few strategies can help you be more productive and get tough household chores tackled in record time. Organize As You Go The longer you leave certain organizational chores to build up, the more overwhelming they can be to complete. A few key organizational systems can help you stay on top of things. For example, try getting yourself in the habit of sorting mail as soon as you walk through the door. It’s satisfying to check off an item on your to-do list and this is low hanging fruit. Streamline mail received by signing up for paperless electronic banking and removing your name from unwanted mailing lists. Reduce clutter by spending just five minutes each evening before bed putting things back where they belong. A shoe rack by the foyer, a big bin for kids’ toys -- simple solutions such as these can help you consolidate mess and make the entire home feel cleaner. Simplify Laundry Did you know that different stains require different cleaning agents? For example, milk and grass stains require enzyme cleaners, while ink or wine stains require peroxides. Of course, clothes need brighteners and detergents to come out looking their best.
PHOTO SOURCE: (c) lulu - Fotolia.com
Many laundry boosters don’t contain all of these stain fighters. You can save time -- and extend the life of your clothes -- by choosing a cleaner that can tackle multiple types of stains. For example, Biz has more stain fighters than other brands, while also brightening clothes. Stained clothing should be pre-treated with a tough, multi-faceted solution. Rub in pretreatment gently and wait three to five minutes. Don’t allow it to dry on the fabric. While it’s working its magic, multitask -- fold laundry, iron a garment or complete another simple chore. If a garment needs a longer treatment, add the solution to water and soak it in a bucket. Then wash as usual. Use a stain fighter as an additive in loads of laundry to brighten garments and take care of tougher stains. Independent, third party tests prove that Biz works 80 percent better than detergent alone. More stain-fighting tips can be found at bizstain-
fighter.com. Cooking and CleanUp It’s takeout time...again. If you’re ordering that pizza pie for the third time this week, consider why. Is it because the thought of cooking and cleaning sounds too tiring at the end of a long day? Save energy by preparing one large meal at the beginning of the week that can be eaten as leftovers for a few days. Soups and stews age well as the spices really infuse the dish. Also, you can get creative. For example, if you roast a chicken on day one, shred it and use it in tacos on day two and in a chicken salad on day three. A watched pot never boils. So while the pasta cooks or the cake bakes, use the time wisely. Unload the dishwasher to make way for new items. Set the table. Answer an email. Don’t let chores get you down. Apply time-saving strategies to make these necessary tasks a cinch.

‘BEAT THE CHAMP’ AIRS FROM FREDONIA'S LUCKY LANES IN APRIL By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
“Beat The Champ” is a television show that bowling fans throughout Western New York are certainly familiar with. It aired for years with such legendary names like Chuck Healy and Van Miller adding to the allure. Now after 20 years, “Beat The Champ” is being rebooted by WBBZ-TV. “The thing I’ve learned since getting involved in the show is that this show is a part of the sports history of Western New York,” BTC co-host Paul Peck shared. “People grew up watching it. There’s an allegiance for it.” The show has already recorded and aired shows at Rapid Bowling Center in Niagara Falls, Kerns Avenue Lanes in Buffalo and Transit Lanes in Williamsville. The next four episodes will feature Chautauqua County’s own Lucky Lanes in Fredonia. “People have been really receptive to this,” Lucky Lanes owner Paul Nocek said after getting over 180 entries. “I’m pleasantly surprised by the amount of interest that we’ve had in this. It puts us on the top of the bowling map for a while.” The format of the show is something of a sports-meets“Jeopardy!” situation. In the first week of filming, four contestants duke it out on the alley. The winner of that contest will advance to the second week of filming where he takes on three CONTINUED ON PAGE 33

Commentary: Five of the Greatest Players Ever By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
A few weeks back, I wrote about how I simply don’t watch the National Basketball Association anymore. The league as a whole simply doesn’t interest me even if individual players like Steph Curry, Chris Paul and Kevin Durant seem like they could be favorites of mine. Yet there are still holdovers from the era (of all five years ago or so) that I actually did closely follow the NBA. Tim Duncan, for instance, is one of my favorite players ever. “Big Fundamental” continues to defy the aging process by being a productive, if no longer dominant, player in the league even at nearly 40 years old. Duncan still makes headlines for passing legends in career scoring, rebounds, etc. His career stats are simply astounding. When he recently passed John Havlicek for 14th on the NBA’s all-time scoring leaders board, it got me thinking about where Duncan rates among the all-time greats. What I found was actually a little shocking. I’ve long held the belief that Duncan is the best power forward ever (despite technically being listed as a center for the last handful of seasons), but according to basketball-reference.com, Duncan is easily among the top-10 players in NBA history. The San Antonio Spur isn’t alone, either. There are four active players — Duncan, Dirk Nowitzki, Kevin Garnett and LeBron James — that are in the all-time top 10 for career win shares. Win share is a statistic created by noted sabermetrician Bill James that attemps to “divvy up credit for team success to the individuals on the team,” according to basketball-reference.com (which actually deviates slightly from James’ original system, but still gets the point across, I think). Players on winning teams are awarded a portion of that win based on how much they contributed to said win. It’s more complicated than that, of course, but that’s what ‘Win Share’ boils down to. The top of the career WS leaderboard looks how you’d expect it to. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has an almost insurmountable lead at 273.41. He’s followed by Wilt Chamberlain (247.26), Karl Malone (234.63), Michael Jordan (214.02) and John Stockton (207.70). You might be shocked by Malone and Stockton being ranked so high, but both Hall of Famers played for a very long time and were always associated with winning teams. Nos. 6-9 on that career list are our active players mentioned above. Duncan (206.02) is right behind Stockton. Dirk (198.37), KG (191.41) and LeBron (190.26) follow. LeBron, at a mere 31 years old, sits ahead of some of the greatest players of all time in this stat. James’ brilliance is probably taken for granted at this point, but history will remember him on the Mount Rushmore of the NBA. Oscar Robertson (189.21) rounds out the top 10. If you’re anything like me, you’re probably wondering where the active player many consider the best of the generation is? Well, surprisingly, Kobe Bryant only comes in at 15th with a WS of 172.63. This is because basketball-reference. com’s system actually allows for negative WS and Kobe has been worth -0.7 wins over the past three seasons combined. Kobe’s best season came in 200506 when he compiled a 15.3 WS in that single season. LeBron actually has six separate seasons with a WS higher than 15.3, if you can believe that, proving just how much more of a complete player LeBron truly is (though don’t get me wrong, I love in-his-prime Kobe). So what about Dirk and KG? Both players are certainly past their primes at this point, but don’t be fooled. These are two of the best players the game has ever seen. Heck, Dirk is still averaging nearly 19 points per game at 37 years old. Dirk had a 40-point game just a few weeks ago against Portland. The Dallas Maverick is also pulling down nearly seven rebounds per game. His free throw percentage of .893 is actually higher than his career average. That can be said for his three-point field goal percentage of .384 (career mark is .383), too. Good

luck finding another seven-footer that can shoot like Dirk. He’s been a matchup nightmare for 17 years in the league and recently said that he’d like to play 20 seasons. Dallas had been to the playoffs every season since 2000-01. That’s 14 straight seasons of basically riding Dirk through the regular season. The guy is the best European player of all time and he’s going to hold that title for a very long time. Kevin Garnett isn’t quite as universally likeable as Dirk, but that doesn’t make him any less dominant. In fact, I would argue that in terms of sheer dominance, KG blows Dirk out of the water. Nowitzki has always been a matchup nightmare because of his size and skill set, but Garnett just gave his opponents nightmares with his intensity and talent. KG has always been synonymous with defense. The fact that he only won one Defensive Player of the Year award is a travesty. Of course, his nine times on the All-Defensive First Team shows just how much his game was respected. His return to Minnesota at the end of his career has been a good story for the league, even if it’s been filled with injuries and losses. The fans there still remember and appreciate his 2004 MVP campaign. In a span of nine seasons, Garnett averaged a double-double in eight of those. The ninth? How about 21.8 points and 9.9 rebounds per game? Not too shabby for a “down” year. Watching Garnett finally win a championship with Boston was something special. He obviously tried his best to bring a championship to Minnesota, but that organization isn’t exactly known for winning. It’s just sad when players like Charles Barkley (or Dan Marino in the NFL) have Hall of Fame careers but never get to experience that thrill of a title. Tim Duncan sure doesn’t have to worry about that. So if you’re an NBA fan or even a sports fan, try to appreciate who is on the court right now. The above five guys are unquestionably some of the best to ever play the game. Stefan Gestwicki is the sports editor of the Chautauqua Star.

The History of the Art Asquith Senior Golf League Contributed Article Senior Golf League
What started in 2005 as an idea of Art Asquith, which had been fermenting in his head for years, finally came into being. Art contacted Chautauqua Golf Course head pro Stan Marshaus and asked if he would be interested in hosting over forty senior golfers on a Monday for a low fee including a pop and a hotdog. Stan enthusiastically offered to host the first match. When Art explained the idea of having a “Senior Golf Tour”, Stan thought it was a great idea and that other courses would be certain to participate. In the first four years of existence, the Golf Tour grew to over 150 golfers participating and over 20 area courses on board. The founding concept of the Golf Tour was to have seniors over 60 years old, play golf inexpensively, have fun, enjoy competition, while playing with different partners each week on a variey of courses. Art enlisted the help of area friends and golfers to form the first steering committee. Some of the early committee members were Rick Brown, Tony Barone, Jim Sorg, Merle Elkin and Charlie Avery. The current committee consists of Harry Trippett, Jim Rissel, Randy Carlson, Merle Elkin, Pat Hepinger, Tuck Underwood, and Jim Fincher. In the early years, scheduling and foursomes were constructed by pen and paper. With the computer skills of Charlie Avery and purchased golf management software, the tasks of scheduling, pairing and handicapping because much easier. The Tour has six different flights and uses the Modified Stableford System for scoring. This allows players of different skill levels to enjoy golf and compete for prizes. Mem.bers of the committee took responsibility for the tasks

of making signs, collecting and managing money, distributing prizes, registering golfers at each event and calling subs. As the years passed, other members have stepped forward to replace the original committee members and to keep the Golf Tour operating. In addition, the league has Tour clothing for sale to unite our members in dress. Our goldenrod colored hats really stand out on the course, along with golf shirts, golf shells, ball markers, etc. The Tour also enjoyed the sponsorship of McDonalds for many years. At our fall banquet held in October, the committee renamed the Senior Golf Tour as “The Art Asquith Senior Golf Tour” in honor of the man whose idea
gave birth to the Tour and has been the guiding force since its beginning. Art has decided it’s time to step back and have the current committee manage the Tour. The Art Asquith Senior Golf Tour will be entering its twelfth year this spring. Registration will take place on April 18 at 11:00 a.m. at the Lakewood Rod & Gun Club. Information can be accessed at our web site: www.sgolftour.com. If anyone has any questions concerning the Tour, they can call Pat Hepinger at 716.397.8934 or Harry Trippett at 716.485.6790.

Sabres Blow Lead, Fall To Penguins In SO By Will Graves AP Hockey Writer
PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Mike Sullivan admires his team's resiliency. The Pittsburgh Penguins coach would just prefer to not have to rely on it so much. Still, Sullivan can live with the sluggish starts - for now - when it leads to the Penguins playing the kind of hockey they'll need with greater regularity once mid-April arrives. Sidney Crosby and Phil Kessel beat Chad Johnson in a shootout and Penguins inched closer to a 10th straight playoff berth with a 5-4 victory over the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday night. Ben Lovejoy, Conor Sheary, Tom Kuhnhackl and Nick Bonino scored during a furious second period as the Penguins climbed out of an early three-goal deficit and then won it when Kessel's wrist shot slipped by Johnson's left pad and into the net. ''I don't think any of us to a man liked the first period,'' Sullivan said. ''But the good news is there's 40 minutes left and we're a good enough team that if we put our minds to it, we can climb back in it.'' Rookie Matt Murray made 26 saves, including a breakaway stop on Sabres rookie Jake Eichel in overtime, as the Penguins pulled within a point of

the New York Rangers for second in the crowded Metropolitan Division. Crosby assisted on Sheary's goal to give him an NHL-best 20 points this month. Pittsburgh improved to 11-4 since March 1, several of them games it was forced to scramble after sleepwalking through the opening minutes. ''For some unknown reason it keeps happening,'' Kuhnhackl said. ''We find ourselves down one or two goals, today three goals down. That can't happen as we get closer to the playoffs.''
Ryan O'Reilly had a goal and an assist for the Sabres. Zach Bogosian, Matt Moulson, Zach Bogosian and Jake McCabe also scored for Buffalo, and Johnson made 42 saves. ''We got some fortunate bounces, but we started with some good jump and a few things went our way,'' O'Reilly said. ''But you have to bring that consistency all night long and we didn't.'' The Sabres, well out of the playoff picture but much improved under former Penguins coach Dan Bylsma, were no pushover. Sullivan warned his players about looking past certain opponents only to watch Pittsburgh fall into a familiar rut. Buffalo, playing without injured forward Evander Kane, scored three times in the first 19 minutes. Moulson pounded home a rebound on the power play, O'Reilly followed with his 18th of the season and McCabe took a slick cross-ice feed from O'Reilly and stuffed it by Murray. Pittsburgh's rally started with an unlikely spark, with Lovejoy finishing off a 3-on-2 by slamming the puck off Johnson's pads for the defenseman's fourth goal of the season and his second since Nov. 25. Sheary pounced on a Sabres turnover and beat Johnson 5:55 into the second before the Penguins' penalty killers gave them the lead late in the period.

U.S. Men’s Soccer Misses Second Straight Olympics Associated Press
FRISCO, Texas (AP) — The United States failed to qualify for consecutive Olympic men's soccer tournaments for the first time in a half century, a collapse players found hard to address on analyze. Roger Martinez scored twice, Americans Luis Gil and Matt Miazga were ejected and Colombia's under-23 team defeated the U.S. 2-1 Tuesday night to earn the last berth in the Rio de Janeiro Games with a 3-2 aggregate win in the two-leg, total-goals series. Following a nightmare in Nashville four years ago, when the Americans were eliminated by El Salvador, they had a fiasco in Frisco. "You dream about it since you were a little kid," forward Jordan Morris said, "so, it's a tough one to swallow." Coach Andi Herzog said it wasn't the right time for him to dissect the Americans' poor performance. "I'm real emotional, and I don't want to say anything without coming down a bit," Herzog said. "I'm really disappointed." Martinez redirected Andres Roa's off-target shot past goalkeeper Ethan Horvath in the 30th minute. An own goal by Delver Machado tied the score in the 59th, with the defender heading the ball over goalkeeper Cristian Bonila while trying to clear Morris' pass from Emerson Hyndman. Martinez put the Colombians back ahead in the 64th minute, eluding Tim Parker at the 6-yard box and beating Horvath. At that point, because the first tiebreaker is away goals, the Americans needed to score twice. "We give up such a simple, stupid goal," Herzog said. The U.S. then showed its frustration. Gil, who scored in the first leg, entered in the 67th minute and was given a yellow card by Uzbek referee Ravshan Irmatov in the 72nd minute for pushing Helibelton Palacios after a confrontation deep in the U.S. end, then was given a second yellow five minutes later after clashing for a ball with his hands high with Wilmar Barrios. Miazga received a red in the 90th minute for pulling down Christian Borga, who was running onto a ball just outside the penalty area on an obvious goalscoring opportunity. The U.S. had last failed to qualify for consecutive Olympics from 1960-68. Colombia will make its first appearance since 1992. U.S. national team coach Jurgen Klinsmann said the 2012 group of under-23 players was set back by its failure to play at the London Olympics and he made qualifying for Brazil a priority, installing top assistant Herzog as under-23 coach. But the Americans were forced into the playoff by losing to Honduras 2-0 last October in the semifinal round of the regional qualifying in North and Central America and the Caribbean. Before a crowd of 7,998, the Americans were outshot 11-5, including 6-0 in shots on target, increasing Colombia's advantage to 29-10 and 12-1 over the two legs. Herzog made two changes to his starting lineup, inserting midfielder Paul Arriola in place of Gil and for Desevio Payne started instead of Eric Miller. Horvath was back in goal. He left the first leg late in the first half after colliding with Colombia's Andres Renteria just outside the penalty area. The Americans' defeat prevented a sweep for the U.S. men's program Tuesday. The national team beat Guatemala 4-0 in a World Cup qualifier at Columbus, Ohio. This game resembled the loss to Honduras. The Americans were outmuscled

once again. "When a team played real physical against us, we didn't have any power, any assertiveness up front," Herzog said. "That's disappointing." U.S. National Team Gets World Cup Qualifying Back On Track Four games into a potential 16-game World Cup qualifying journey, the United States is still alive after Tuesday night's 4-0 win over Guatemala in the national team's fortress of Columbus, Ohio, courtesy of goals by Clint Dempsey, Geoff Cameron, Graham Zusi and Jozy Altidore. Going into the game, this was hardly a given. The fetid 2-0 loss in Guatemala City on Friday very much imperiled the Americans' passage into the final round of qualifiers, beginning in November. A loss would have probably doomed their quest to reach an eighth straight World Cup and possibly ended Jurgen Klinsmann's jumbled 4½-year spell as head coach. Instead, the Yanks remain masters of their own destiny – with two games to play against Trinidad and Tobago and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines in September – and Klinsmann's job seems secure for a while longer, no matter how far below expectations he continues to perform. Klinsmann inserted five new names into his lineup, made two positional tweaks and switched to a more positive 4-3-3 formation. The changes paid off, even though it meant yet more tinkering with a team that never seems to get to play in the same setup twice in a row. Kyle Beckerman's insertion into the midfield freed Michael Bradley to run the game, alongside the recalled Graham Zusi. The three forwards in front of them kept the field wide and opened up pockets for the U.S. to make pass through. What's more, the Americans finally made a sharp and energetic start, avoiding the early-game swoons that have hamstrung them so often lately. They charged and pressed hard and pinned the Chapines back deep in their own half. It paid dividends early. In the 12th minute, Cameron hoisted a long ball up to the streaking Gyasi Zardes, who managed to occupy two defenders, neither of whom could head the ball away. It then fell kindly – possibly off Zardes's backside, it was hard to tell – for the onrushing Dempsey, who punished this defensive malpractice by riffling it past goalkeeper Paulo Motta.

Lake Erie Fishing Hotline Contributed Article NYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation
Most of the tributaries are currently in great shape. Chautauqua, Canadaway and Eighteenmile Creeks are green and have moderate flow. Silver and Walnut Creeks are clear. Cattaraugus Creek is still a little turbid, but looks like it will drop into fishable shape over the weekend. Anglers were catching a mix of fresh and drop-back steelhead this past week. Some warmwater fish have also started to show in the streams, so the steelhead run likely won't last for more than a couple more weeks. Spring run steelhead hit a variety of baits including egg sacs, egg flies, trout beads, jigs with grubs, minnows, nightcrawlers, streamer patterns and bugger patterns. For those new to steelhead fishing, see the Steelhead Fishing in Lake Erie Tributaries page for information on steelhead fishing equipment, fishing locations and links to stream maps. Lake Erie and Harbors s Yellow perch anglers have been able to get out on Lake Erie early this year. Outings between Cattaraugus Creek and Sturgeon Point have produced good catches of sizeable perch at times. However, the productive location and time can change daily. Depths of 45-55 feet is a good starting point. Live emerald shiners are the top perch bait, and are available for dipping at the foot of Ontario Street. A launch dock is in place at Sturgeon Point, but it is unknown if launch docks are in place at other boat launch sites. Dunkirk and Barcelona Harbors are decent places to target trout in early spring. Smallmouth bass also start to move into the harbors in spring. Upper Niagara River The ice boom has been removed from the head of the river. Upper river waters are currently a cloudy green. Anglers usually catch some rainbow trout at this time of year from Bird Island Pier, Broderick Park and the northern tip of Unity Island. Anglers can target trout by drifting egg sacs and minnows or by casting spoons. The Ferry Street bridge is still closed, so current access to Unity Island is by the bridge at the north end. Harbors, marinas and inlets are good places
to target panfish. Emerald shiners are a top bait and are available for dipping at many places around the upper river. Chautauqua Lake The ice is gone and boating season is here. Anglers report that crappie are biting in the canals and some open water spots in the south basin, including Ashville Bay, Rock Island and Grass Island. 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 and bluegill are also available in the canals and shore sites. Bullhead are just starting to show. Worms, leeches or chicken livers fished on the bottom at night, works well for bullhead. Walleye season is closed until the 1st Saturday in May. Spring Trout Stocking The DEC will begin trout stocking next week, in preparation for the traditional April 1st trout opener. Hatchery staff will be stocking thousands of yearling brown, brook and rainbow trout throughout western New York. In addition, many of the popular trout streams will also receive stockings of two-year-old brown trout that are between 12-15 inches long. Anglers can call the Randolph Hatchery Fish Stocking Hotline at (716) 358-4950 or check back here for weekly stocking updates. For County lists of stocked waters and numbers of trout stocked, check the 2016 Spring Trout Stocking pages. Public Fishing Rights Maps showing public access on the local trout streams are available for printing. If you need more fishing information or would like to contribute to the fishing report, please call or e-mail Mike Todd (716-851-7010; michael.todd@dec.ny.gov). Good Luck Fishing! The fishing hotline can also be heard at (716) 679-ERIE or (716) 855-FISH.

NYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation
Open burning of debris is the largest single cause of spring wildfires in the state. When temperatures are warmer and the past fall's debris and leaves dry out, wildfires can start and spread easily and be further fueled by winds and a lack of green vegetation. New York enacted strict restrictions on open burning in 2009 to help prevent wildfires and reduce emissions. The regulations allow residential brush fires in towns during most of the year, but prohibit such burning in spring when most wildfires occur. In the five-year period since the ban was enacted, the average number of spring fires per year decreased by 33.4 percent, from 3,297 in 2009 to 1,649 to 2015.
