Fredonia Names Dean For College of Liberal Arts and Sciences

Contributed Article Fredonia
The State University of New York at Fredonia has named Joseph “Andy” Karafa, Ph.D., as dean of its College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the largest college within the Fredonia campus. Dr. Karafa, who joins the campus from Ferris State University in Big Rapids, Mich., will begin in his new role on July 1. Dr. Karafa has served the 14,000-student Ferris State campus system in many capacities since joining the university in 2000. Most recently, he has been interim dean of its College of Arts and Sciences — Ferris State’s largest academic unit — stepping in from his associate dean’s role which he had held since 2012. He had served as the college’s interim dean once before, as well as interim department head of its Mathematics department and its Languages and Literature department at various points since 2012. Karafa first joined Ferris State as an assistant professor of Psychology, eventually rising to head its department of Social Sciences from 2007 to 2012. From 2008 to 2013, Karafa also served as director of the university’s Jim Crow Museum, which uses racist memorabilia to teach tolerance and promote social justice. There Karafa oversaw operations and a five-year strategic plan, as well as assisted with the design of a new museum space. The experience gives Karafa a unique perspective on and commitment to a variety of diversity issues. At Fredonia, Karafa will report to Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Terry Brown and oversee a college with 16 distinct academic departments as well as a variety of interdisciplinary programs and initiatives serving roughly 2,500 undergraduate and graduate students. The college works alongside Fredonia’s College of Visual and Performing Arts, College of Education and School of Business in comprising all of the university’s academic units. “We are pleased to add Dr. Karafa to the Fredonia team,” said Dr. Brown. “He has shown a clear ability to work in many academic disciplines throughout his career and lead a variety of groups during a variety of circumstances. In addition, he has dedicated his career to public higher education, and his scholarship in psychology, including cultural estrangement, along with his commitment to diversity, helped set him apart during our nationwide search, and positions him
well to succeed.” Dr. Karafa’s entire career has been within public higher education. He earned his bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Grand Valley State University, before continuing on for a Ph.D. in Social Psychology from Kansas State University. He began his professional career as an instructor in the Department of Marketing and International Business at Kansas State in 1999. “My family and I are very excited to be joining the Fredonia community,” Karafa added. “I look forward to working closely with the faculty, staff and students of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the university. In particular, I am eager to begin conversations with everyone to discuss their aspirations for the college.”

Library Selling Play Tickets for Benefit Contributed Article Prendergast Library
Prendergast Library has $12 pre-sale tickets available for “Last Orders,” a series of four one-act thrillers that will be performed as a full-length production at Studio Metro in the InSpire Development Center this month as a benefit for the library. “Having a love for theater means having a love for literature, and what better way for lovers of both to give back than by helping our library?” said Director Angelo Giuffré. Performances are at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday March 18-19 and March 25-26. Tickets for $12 pre-sale or $15 the day of each performance can be purchased in person at the library, online at www.in-spire.us, or by phone at 450-7357. Written by Richard Olson-Walter, M.P. Richardson, and Graham Forbes, the plays follow last October's British One Act Thriller Showcase, in keeping with The Spire's "British Invasion" theme. Cast members are Dustin Graziano, Rycheigh Allan, Tyler Stimson, Crin Fredrickson, Giovanna Accordino, Steven Michael Cobb and Josh Monroe. Although each short play tells an independent story, they deal with similar themes and build on each other’s mysterious twists and turns. According to the director, the British phrase “Last Orders” refers to both a person’s final wishes and the last call for drinks at a bar, and the themes of mortality and alcohol are consistent in each of the stories. The Spire Theater’s season will end April 22-23 and April 29-30 with “No Sex Please, We’re British,” a British farce written by Alistair Foot and Anthony Marriot. The world’s longest running comedy, it premiered in London's West End in 1971 and played to full houses until 1987. For information about the local productions or to get season tickets , go to www.in-spire.us or www.spiretheater.org. The library is located at 509 Cherry St., Jamestown. For information, call 4847135.

THE TRUMP CARD, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2 the utmost of (occasionally immature and misplaced) passion. But the number one thing he has going for him is his positive vision about our future. He appears to genuinely want America to grow and succeed. To ‘make American great again.’ Whether or not people think American stopped being great is irrelevant, people will garner support behind a man with vision, who they believe can get things done. • He has seen success and he has seen failure The man is a billionaire. Regardless of how much he was given to start, he has turned it into billions. Not many can claim that. But, he has also self-admittedly faced staunch failure in numerous endeavors. So why aren’t those failures subduing his victories? Because people identify with failure. Hundreds of thousands of Americans have faced failure. But seeing how Mr. Trump handled those, whether in his brash and unabashedly indignant manner or in a rare and often non-spotlighted moment of humility, they have seen him fail and they find solace in his non-perfection. But, you may say, politicians fail all the time. Yes, but often at endeavors none of us will ever encounter. The vast majority of us will not run for public office. But an overwhelming number have lost jobs, or traveled down the road of a struggling business. On a different scale? Sure. But his non-political nature is bridging the billion-dollar income gap, because people feel he is truly sympathetic to their cause. There are plenty reasons more, I’m sure, but as I said I’m not an expert. As I stated, I’m not endorsing Mr. Trump, but rather looking at what has brought immense success to this campaign that was essentially written off as a pipe-dream. Keep praying, stay educated (outside of the media – do your own research) and tighten your seatbelt for a continually bumpy and exciting primary race.

Easter Basket Fillers By Katy Wise Contributing Writer
Every Spring, stores start filling up their aisles with Easter baskets and tons of things to stuff inside of them. Really the day following Valentine’s Day is when all of this ‘stuff’ starts popping back up. I love Easter. The spring colored decorations, the flowers, the jellybeans, and most of all, the real reason why our family celebrates this holiday. I don’t however, love all of the Easter basket fillers scattered throughout stores. Easter is so much more than flimsy little twenty-five cent toys that get lost or broken on the same day. This is why I typically don’t shop for Easter presents in the actual Easter section. Except for the jellybeans, of course. We call them presents, because we are in the slight minority of people who buy their kids actual gifts for Easter. We teach our children that we give because Jesus gave. We want them to always recognize Easter as a holiday that’s about way more than bunnies and eggs. With that being said, I don’t buy a lot of knick-knacks for them for Easter. They get things that they need, and fun things that they want. Rain boots, flip flops, summer pajamas, sunglasses, and hats all make terrific gifts for little boys. I know a lot of people think that boys are hard to shop for, and I will say that little girls are definitely easier. Clothing stores almost always have more to pick from for little girls. But this doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s difficult to shop for little boys. Our little guys are thrilled with anything superhero, dinosaur or truck related. And books. This is a book loving family, right here.
I know that might seem far-fetched when two of us are writers! Bows, hats and sunglasses are all great ideas for little girls too. Along with any of the other ideas listed for boys. Coloring books, fresh markers or crayons, sidewalk chalk, kites, and new outdoor toys are also great ideas. Honestly, I could do with a few less ideas over here to keep Easter a bit more budget friendly! Jump ropes, large bouncy balls and hula hoops for older kids are all great for getting kids outside and active. Which might be necessary depending on the size of chocolate bunny their
grandma gives them… If you are still stumped, just take a look at their interests. Do you have superhero fans? Star Wars fans? Monet juniors? I, for one, would love to receive a lightsaber or a fresh set of watercolors in my Easter basket. Just sayin’. The whole point here is to try and branch out from the typical Easter basket and to spend your money on something that will really will be used, played with and loved. And I’m not saying that there is anything wrong with some of the fun toys that you can find in the basket aisle. Just about any five year old would be
delighted to find a yoyo or flinging rabbit. But if you want to branch out, there are plenty of other ideas out there. Before I wrap this up, let’s not forget the babies! Babies love to accessorize too. Nothing can beat a fresh binky or a brand new chewy sippy cup to gnaw their little teeth on. You can also fill Easter eggs with baby friendly animal crackers or cookies. Just don’t leave them out of the fun because they can’t have jelly beans yet! As always, thanks for reading, and a very Happy Easter to you and your family from HBK!

How to Cook Like a Professional Chef at Home Contributed Article Statepoint
Every home baker or chef has asked the same question at some point: why don’t my cakes or dishes look and taste like the ones from my favorite restaurant? The answer: culinary professionals know secrets and tricks that most home chefs don’t. Some of these are simple and easy to adopt in your kitchen. Position Wisely Pans should be as close to the center of your oven as possible for even cooking. And don’t allow pans to touch oven walls or each other. It’s all about air flow and circulation. Place pans on different racks if you are cooking in them concurrently and align them so they are slightly offset (but close to the center of each rack), to allow heated air to circulate nicely. Avoid Cold Ingredients Avoid using cold eggs because mixtures with them won’t emulsify properly. Don’t use hard, cold butter. Softened butter is better for leavening baked goods and creating an airy, tender texture. And when cooking with it, cold butter won’t melt consistently to flavor vegetables and you often wind up scalding it in the pan. Leaving butter on the counter for an hour to soften up is time consuming, and it still won’t distribute evenly and can leave a mess of leftover butter. A better alternative is the new Biem butter sprayer, a first-of-its-kind kitchen tool that lets users convert a stick of real butter from solid to liquid spray in seconds. It controls portioning so you use less butter, uses no chemical propellants and leaves the unused portion un-melted and in stick form, ready to return to the fridge. More information is available at www. biemspray.com. Avoid Substitutions
Use exactly what a recipe lists. For example, if a recipe specifies sugar, use white granulated sugar. Brown sugar or raw sugar doesn’t have the same consistency as granulated sugar. And substitutions like agave or maple syrup don’t have the same chemistry and will impact the science behind the recipe. If a recipe calls for butter, using something else, particularly something artificial, will color the flavor. Imitation butter sprays are chock full of additives and artificially-flavored oils that just don’t taste like the real thing. Always use real, natural ingredients. “I’ve been around long enough to live through the evolution of butter to margarine and the eventual

discoveries of trans fats and their impact to our health that has brought people back to butter,” says Doug Foreman, creator of the new Biem butter sprayer and founder of Beanitos and Guiltless Gourmet. “Seems like eventually science always discovers natural is better.” Get Precise Weigh your ingredients using a proper kitchen scale. And learn how to measure teaspoons and tablespoons correctly. Cooking and baking are sciences and art, so small changes and little tricks can make a big difference in the finished products.

Keeping The Faith
Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church Fredonia fcfredonia.org
Dear Pastor, my in-laws are always interfering…what can I do? It’s true that difficulties with in-laws can cause a lot of frustration in a marriage. Interference is usually the result of the lack of boundaries, or lack of respect of those already established by the new couple. The Bible tells us in Genesis 2:24 that when we get married, we are to “leave” our parents’ home and “cleave unto” our spouse. This leaving does not just mean physically; it refers to coming out from under our parents’ authority as well. Unfortunately, change in these dynamics can be hard for both children and parents, but it’s important for the health of the new union to get this issue resolved. This may be the problem in your situation. Your in-laws may be having difficulties letting go and/or you or you spouse may be confused as to where their loyalties should be. Even if their input is well intentioned, they could be crossing the boundaries of home authority. This can then cause strain in your marriage as you or your spouse
struggles to balance respect for parents and devotion to the marriage. Here are some Biblical guidelines that will help you focus in the right direction. First of all, get on the same page with your spouse and pray about this situation (Mark 11:24). Prayer should be our first step, not our last resort. God can grace you for the situation as well as help your in-laws to be more receptive to your concerns. Secondly, even though you’re in-laws are not responding properly, it’s important that you honor and respect them (1Timothy 5:1, 2). Giving them the opportunity to express themselves, even if you don’t accept their suggestions, will help them to be more open to and respect your views (Proverbs 15:1). This will also demonstrate your love for them while demonstrating your commitment to the sanctity of your marriage. Most in-laws are reasonable and will try to do better once they understand. So be gracious when they make mistakes. On the other hand, if they refuse to acknowledge your concerns and
family church F R E D O N I A
persist in interfering, come to a mutual decision. Then let the child of the interfering in-laws deal with them. This will reinforce your marital relationship while limiting the in-laws ability to disrupt your family’s peace. Whatever the situation, applying Biblical principles will be a blessing to your marriage and family.

Local Photographer To Show At Prendergast Library
Contributed Article Prendergast Library
William S. “Butch” Poole of Jamestown will present an exhibit of pictures that include traditional nature photography, abstracts and multiple-exposure iPhone photography in the Prendergast Library Art Gallery March 18 through April 22. There will be a reception from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Friday, March 18, to greet the artist. “Making these iPhone images is just pure fun!” he said. “Some photographers say, ‘I don't take photographs I make photographs.’ Well, that couldn't be truer for me now. I lay one or more nature ‘items’ on a white, black, or colored background sheet and take the first image. Then I arrange the second nature ‘item or items’ on a background sheet and take that image followed by merging the two images together. It may end there, or go on for many more ‘layers’ of images,” Poole said. Most of his pictures have between two and 15 merged images, but they may involve more than 30. “When I was doing traditional nature photography, it took lots of searching for that perfect scene or specimen. With abstract multiple-exposure work, I can incorporate an imperfect flower or mushroom, and it makes an interesting contribution to an image,” he added. Poole taught high school biology in Jamestown for 33 years before retiring in 2001. He has enjoyed being out in nature most of his life while hiking, camping, canoeing, and traveling. His first professional image work was making 22 one-hour nature videos, shot in 8mm format and dubbed to VHS, in the 1990's, and marketing them locally in Western New York. “I did still photography to have pictures to put on my VHS videotape jackets. The still photography sales
started ‘taking off’ when VHS was dying,” Poole said. After 13 years of 35mm film work with various cameras and eight years of digital, he switched to iPhone photography in the fall of 2009, using an app called DXP for multiple-exposure iPhone photography. About a year later, he tested selling his new iPhone material at some art shows and was pleased with the reception from the general public. “I’m having so much fun, I hope to live 200 more years!” he said. He started featuring both iPhone work and traditional nature photography in his art show booth in 2014, and the next year he went back to shooting with traditional photo equipment as well as the iPhone and photo apps including Pict.Edge, Grungetastic, Slowshutter+ and OverCam. Most of his work is done while hiking in all types of habitats to locate a wide variety of subjects from nature. He may identify subjects rapidly or hike awhile before finding what he wants. He also uses pictures that were taken in other seasons and stored in the iPhone's memory. “Every ‘outing’ is like a big fun experiment! It's an opportunity to just let creativity run wild,” he said. There is less gear to carry around with the iPhone, but even with traditional photography Poole says, “The good news is you can probably do it into old age. Maybe you’ll carry less equipment or a lighter tripod, but you can find ways to keep shooting.” His advice to photographers is, “Try all the different things you can think to attempt. Many won’t be successful, but each feeds another idea or two and on and on and on and….” Library hours to view Poole’s work are 9 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday. The next gallery exhibit will feature the Chautauqua County Art Teachers. The library is located at 509 Cherry St., Jamestown. For information, call 484-7135.

Absentee Ballot an Alternative Option For Seniors Contributed Article Office for the Aging
With 2016 being a Presidential election year, voting is of particular interest to our Chautauqua County senior population. For those of you who may have difficulty getting to a polling site, an Absentee Ballot is a wonderful alternative. This allows for ballots to be mailed directly to you for each and every election in which you are eligible to vote. In Chautauqua County, our Board of Elections makes it very easy for any voter who may be unable to make it to their election site due to a physical disability. You only need to apply one time to be placed on a Permanent Absentee status. To download an absentee ballot application from the Internet, voters should visit www.votechautauqua.com and click on the ABSENTEE BALLOT APPLICATION box or call the Board of Elections directly at 753-4580 and they will mail an application to you. To be placed on permanent disability status and receive an Absentee Ballot for every election, follow this process for filling out the Absentee Ballot Application: • Mark off the “permanent illness or physical disability” box. • Skip section 2 to receive ballots for any election that you are eligible to vote in. • Print first and last name. • List your date of birth. • Write in your voting address where you live or the address you always intend to return to if you living elsewhere. • Skip section 6. • Skip section 7. • Sign (or place mark) and date the application. Note: If using a mark instead of signature, a witness must acknowledge your
mark. Election Law does not recognize a Power of Attorney to sign for another. The Board of Elections understands that you may not be “permanently physically unable to go the polls” and that you may just have trouble getting about during inclement weather. It’s fine to request an absentee ballot to be mailed to you for all elections going forward even if you only have trouble occasionally. New York State election law states that the ballots are mailed to those homebound seniors and others 32-days before any Village, School, Primary, Special or General Election that you are eligible to vote in. “The real beauty of the absentee voting program”, according to Election Commissioners Norm Green and Brian Abram, is that if it’s a sunny day and you can get to the polls without a problem you are welcome to vote in person at your normal poll site. If this occurs, the voter’s absentee ballot will not be opened after the election. One final note about absentee ballots pertains to caregivers. If you are a caregiver for someone who is disabled and have difficulty getting to the polls because you can’t leave the person you are caring for, state laws allows for caregivers to also vote by absentee ballot. However, caregivers are required to reapply each year; there is no permanent category these individuals. I encourage all of our seniors to fill out an absentee ballot application soon. Absentee ballot applications are due to the board of elections seven days prior to the election if the application is sent by mail and one day if you hand delivered the application in-person to the Board of Elections office in Mayville. Many thanks to Election Commissioners, Norm Green and Brian Abram, for providing the information for this article.

The Best Sale of the Year
By Brad Jarrett Contributing Writer
This past week as I was reading through one of my favorite books “The Greatest Miracle in the World” by Og Mandino (Which I highly recommend you buy) I came across a story that never before stuck out to me. It was regarding a highly successful perfume manufac-
turer, and it went something like this: It was the night of retirement for this wildly successful man so, as tradition in America has it; his company threw him a large retirement party. Hundreds of people attended; friends, family, co-workers, business partners, and they all congratulated him on his impressively successful career. One question continued to surface as he met with all the attendees, “What is your secret? How did you become so successful?”. Being a man who held no secrets he decided to address the question during his retirement speech. As he stood up and took the microphone he reminded the audience his success had not come because of the fine fragrances or packaging or merchandising methods he had used so brilliantly. He had succeeded because he was
the only perfume manufacturer who realized what he was selling to woman was not exotic odors or glamour or sexual magnetism. What he was selling to them was…hope! This story automatically stuck out to me, as I realized fitness sells the same thing. We’ve been tricked into thinking 6-pack abs, big biceps, and weight-loss are the focus, but in reality we too sell hope. You see, abs, biceps and weight loss are all tangible representation of the intangible longing most clients possess. They see these things as the vehicle to reach their true desires. Clients hope weight loss will be a vehicle to get a closer relationship with their spouse, or a better self image. They see 6-pack abs, and big biceps as the route to covering up a lack of self confidence possessed deep inside.
So we, as fitness professionals, need to start looking at fitness differently in order to help you, the client, realize what your real desires and motivations are. We must activate the best in physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual fitness, as hope cannot be generated solely through physical action. The most important part of this entire equation is that YOU start to look at fitness differently. If you, as the client are able to see fitness as a means of attaining hope instead of rock hard abs, your fitness journey will dramatically change. Hope is the seed of faith. If hope can be planted faith can grow, and faith in self is what you’ll need to be successful in ANY endeavor. Another concept discussed in “The Greatest Miracle in the World” (Which you should read if I haven’t already men-
tioned it) is prison. Not physical prison with the metal bars and uncomfortable beds, but rather mental and emotional prison. These are cells we put ourselves in through low selfesteem, and lack of faith (as we just discussed). In my opinion, obesity, and depression are two of the most prevalent cells. I’m not talking about clinically diagnosed depression, or obesity as a result of a handicap, but rather the depression and obesity that come as a result of choice. You see, no one and nothing has the ability to steal your joy, and peace. They only leave as you allow people/ places/things to take them. In the same way, obesity can be a result of poor choices, and the giving away of things that are rightfully ours, like our bodies functionality. I like what the book has to say about this “If CONTINUED ON PAGE 23

Ask for more in-depth information about your condition or treatment plan. Take notes so you remember what you learn. If you don’t feel comfortable with your doctor, consider asking for a new doctor at the same practice or moving altogether. Open communication with your care providers is critical. Make patient safety personal. Next, don’t go alone to the hospital or to doctor visits. Do consider bringing a family member or friend who can also listen to the doctor’s counsel, not to mention offer moral support. Often if you are emotionally concerned at the point of care you may not hear or retain everything so having
someone with you can make all the difference in understanding your care plan. You can always ask your advocate to take notes for you as well. Completely understand the plan of action for your care. Write it down, take home patient instruction print materials, have it emailed or access it on your electronic personal health record. Find out who is in charge of your care and keep a record of that. Ask for the doctor and the entire healthcare team’s contact information and the best way to reach them with questions and/or emergencies. Often medications are a part of your action plan. Always know why and how to take medications, and their names. Discuss what you are allergic to with your doctor. Be transparent and tell your doctor all the drugs you are taking, over-
the-counter, prescription and street drugs. Pay close attention to the drugs being prescribed and then discuss further with your pharmacist. If something doesn’t seem right based on what you thought the doctor ordered, bring to the attention of your pharmacist. Remember the pharmacist is another care provider and another point of care that is considered critical in your care. Often test results and procedures are part of your care as well - find out when and how you will get the results, and follow up. Fully understand what the results mean. Finally, keep track of all appointments, test results, procedures, treatment and surgeries in one place. Most practices now have an electronic health record that you can access. If you need to, ask for help to access yours take patient safety personally.

CASAC To Host “Run Life Strong” Workshop Contributed Article CASAC
Our fast-paced, ever-changing world has taken a toll on us all – impacting the way we work, the way we live, and the way we feel. Too many of us are worn out, disengaged, and looking for greater harmony between work and life. The Chautauqua Alcoholism & Substance Abuse Council (CASAC) is offering a workshop that will help individual and workplace teams create a stronger work/ life experience. The educational session is entitled “Run Life Strong,” presented by Cindy Aronson, and will be held at the Fluvanna Community Church, 3363 Fluvanna Avenue, Jamestown, NY 14701 on Wednesday, March 30, 2016 from 1:00 – 4:00 pm. A recent Gallup poll found that over half of employees nationwide (54%) are "not engaged," meaning they lack motivation and are less likely to invest discretionary effort in organizational goals or outcomes. 18 percent are "actively disengaged," indicating they are unhappy and unproductive at work and liable to spread negativity to coworkers. Since most of us spend a good deal of time at work, the quality of our work experience is inevitably reflected in the quality of our life. The 3-hour “Run Life Strong” workshop will help workplace teams create a stronger work/life experience so they are freed, fueled and inspired to strengthen performance for their organizations & themselves. Cindy Aronson is a speaker and trainer specializing in communication and organizational development.

Protect and Treat Your Family’s Skin this Season Contributed Article Statepoint
Warm days mean picnics, ballgames and outdoor adventure. Unfortunately, all that sun and fun can introduce a greater risk of skin woes for you and your family. “Whether you’re playing catch in the backyard or pitching a tent in the woods, you can help prevent certain issues from occurring, and if they do, be prepared by having a remedy on hand that can offer your family instant healing and relief from itching, burning and discomfort,” says Dr. Angela Lamb, dermatologist. With that in mind, here are some tips to prevent and treat the itch and irritation of the season: Cover Up More bare skin means more risk for bug bites and stings, and exposure to rash-causing plants such as poison ivy and poison oak. When possible, wear long sleeves and pants. Loose-fitting, light colors can keep
you cool on warmer days, even when covered up. When you get home, check clothes for ticks before heading inside. Be Aware Be savvy outdoors and teach your family to avoid poison ivy, oak and sumac. If you spend time in areas where these plants grow, cover up and avoid contact. When you get home, be sure to wash skin and clothing that may have been exposed to the sap of these plants. Ensure your yard drains properly during and after rain and empty kiddie pools and other standing water. Proactive steps such as these will prevent mosquitoes from making your yard a breeding ground. Treat Ailments Even with preventive measures in place, bites, stings, scrapes and allergic reactions do happen. Make sure you’re prepared to treat discomfort. For bites and stings, Dr. Lamb recommends a counterirritant such as After Bite, which stops itch and offers a skin protectant for temporary relief and faster
healing. The kids’ formula is a gentle alternative for young ones or anyone with sensitive skin. Both contain soothing baking soda and offer an easy-toapply, portable remedy for bites from a wide variety of insects. For instant and permanent relief from itching and pain associated with hives, rashes and redness, insect bites, minor scrapes, and allergic reactions from poison ivy, oak and sumac, Dr. Lamb recommends a new steroid-free anti-itch product for the whole family called The Itch Eraser. It is offered in a maximum strength gel and spray with antihistamine as the active ingredient, or a sensitive cream formula with baking soda for those who have sensitive skin. All three contain Vitamin E and Tea Tree Oil to heal and moisturize the skin while reducing redness and inflammation. So, get the bikes dusted off, the baseball mitts oiled and the camping gear out of the garage -- family fun this season is all about taking advantage of the outdoors. But don’t let skin irritations get in way of your good time! Take precautions and arm yourself with treatments for all your skin problems.

DUNKIRK-FREDONIA STEELERS CLAIM NYS CHAMPIONSHIP By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
The Dunkirk-Fredonia Steelers are officially the New York State Mixed Division Club Hockey champions. Prior to last weekend, the Steelers had never even earned a trip to the state tournament, but after a couple of nail-biters mixed in with a couple of dominating performances, Dunkirk-Fredonia was alone atop the proverbial podium. “We just stuck with our gameplan,” head coach Jay Bishop noted. “We didn’t change our strategy. I’m so happy for our team.” The first game of the tournament began with a daunting task at Jamestown Savings Bank Arena. The Steelers’ first-round draw was against the East’s top seed and a team that participated in last year’s state championship game — LevittownHicksville. The game was physical right off the bat with the teams really trying to dictate the pace of play. It was Livittown-Hicksville that found the net early on, however. Luke Walker took the puck from deep in his own zone and weaved his way through a series of Dunkirk-Fredonia defenders before putting the puck into the top right of the net. That 1-0 lead stood despite a barrage of scoring opportunities for the Steelers. “I thought their goalie played great,” Bishop added. “We tried to get pucks low because he’s a big guy. It was just hard beating him.” With time winding down and under three minutes on the clock, the Steelers’ Mike Meredith scored the biggest goal of his career with a wrist shot that found the back of the net. “Mike has just been a powerhouse on our forward line,” Bishop said of one of the game’s stars. “He got that goal and I was really happy for him.” The Steelers objectively outplayed their opponents Top photo: The Dunkirk-Fredonia Steelers celebrate their state championship. for much of the second and third periods, but CONTINUED ON PAGE 27

According to rodeo chairman Tom Atwell, this is a unique opportunity for this area as only two such camps are being held east of the Mississippi.

The Florida trip includes a three-game set against conference foe Oswego. "Our team has been preparing hard. We started with 6 a.m. practices, have increased our commitment in the weight room and feel we have something to prove within the SUNYAC this year," said head coach Matt Palisin. "We have plenty of hard-nosed players and we are prepared to play as a team." Fredonia finished last season with a 14-19 record and bowed out in the first round of the conference tournament. "Our main focus this year is to turn some of those close losses into wins. We played in 11 one-run games last year, and twice came back from four runs down in the final inning to win games. We also had four two-run games, with a couple settled in the final at bat. We won some and lost some, but it re-enforced that the little things matter and that each man in the lineup has a job to do." The Devils have seen the top talent in Division III, having played eventual National Champions and SUNYAC rival Cortland four times last season. "SUNYAC baseball is always challenging. We play some of the top teams in the country every year. Conference baseball always takes on some extra meaning." Playing as a team will be part of the equation for SUNYAC success. "We have a tight knit group. Our captains end every practice with the word 'Family'. As a group, a number of our players have had some difficult life lessons in
the past year-and-a-half, and I feel that has helped bring the team together. Starting with our seniors, they realize that there is more than just baseball and don't take things for granted. They are able to lean on and trust one another. That's what it takes to be successful" Here's a look at the 2016 Blue Devils. SENIORS Fourth-year players Quinn Danahy, Zach Jordon and Carl Wolf provide the foundation of the program. Danahy hit .360 last season and will open in right field. Jordon (6-3, 51 IP) and Wolf (21 career appearances) will start Games 1 and 2 this season. Jordon is the returning ace of the staff, and Wolf will push for a spot in the starting rotation. Dan Cecilia enters his third season. Last year he earned First Team All SUNYAC despite missing a third of the season. He hit a team-best .361 with 3 HR. Kyle Sherman is in his second season after two years at Erie Community College. He will start in right field Opening Day, and also get starts at shortstop during the early season. He provides speed and flexibility on offense and defense. Danahy, Cecilia, Jordan and Sherman will serve as team captains. JUNIORS Firstbaseman Mike Prentice (.351 career BA, 11 2B last
year) and second baseman Ciro Frontale (.296 career BA) enter their third seasons as starters. Prentice has hit in the middle of the order the past two years. He has played outfield, catcher and DH, but will settle in at first base. Frontale is a tough out at the plate and a steady glove in the field. Liam "Trot" Kelly will open as the team's starting third baseman after paying his dues the last two seasons. Matt Wilhelm will earn starts at third and short. Wilhelm was a pitcheronly last year, but has played well enough to work his way into the lineup. "Trot and Matt both had to work hard to crack the lineup," said Palisin. "They were asked to step up their efforts, and they accepted the challenge and earned their spots." Jason Weyman is the lone returning junior on the pitching staff. He has put up solid numbers (1.74 ERA in 7 appearances) in limited innings his first two seasons. "Jason is an intense player. He's practiced hard and is willing to challenge anyone." Transfers new to the mix include James Krolikowski, Alexio Medina, Lucas Schaefer and Zach Lyman. Krolikowski (.422 in 2014) was an All-Region outfielder at Erie Community College before sitting out last season. At 6'2'' with good speed and power, Medina (ECC transfer) will push
for starts at first, outfield and catcher. Schaefer, from Niagara County C.C., and Lyman, from Finger Lakes C.C., will bolster the bullpen to start the year, but challenge for starts as the season moves on. The veterans will be vital to the success of the team. "The way our schedule shakes down this year, and without the weather we had the past couple years, we are going to have to rely on five or six starters to have a successful year. Our three juniors will be counted on." SOPHOMORES The sophomore class is led by Steve Zaprowski and Bailey Gauthier. Zaprowski will anchor centerfield and the leadoff slot after batting .308 in limited action last year. Originally recruited as a pitcher, Zaprowski will also see action out of the bullpen. The versatile Gauthier was brought in as a shortstop, but wound up as the team's closer last year (3.00 ERA, 2 SV, 21 IP). He'll be at shortstop on Opening Day this year. "Bailey and Steve do a great job of focusing their competitive energy on the field. They will be asked to do a lot this season," said Palisin. Patrick Sheehan will see plenty of action as the team's No. 2 catcher. His brother Brian was an All-Conference catcher three seasons ago. Derek Fie provides a lefthanded stick and can fill in at all nine positions. Josh Crocetti and provides outfield depth. Pitchers Kyle Smith and Mike Bessette had productive freshman campaigns on the mound. Smith tossed 20 innings and posted a 2-0 record. Bessette, a knuckleballer, saw action in five games. FRESHMEN A number of freshmen will have major impacts this season. Luke Kuczewski will open as the team's third starter after a solid fall. Kevin Yirinec, a First Team
S
All Greater Rochester selection, will DH on Opening Day. Rob Wiegand will get his bat into the lineup on a regular basis. He was First Team All Central New York. Both Wiegand and Yirinec are middle-of-the-order hitters. "Luke, Kevin and Rob were great finds for us with ties to our team," said Palisin. "Luke was recruited with the help of High School teammate Patrick Sheehan. He was a the starting catcher on one of the top teams in the state (Orchard Park H.S.) and behind a few DI pitchers, but he's got a winning attitude and great composure. Kevin was steered here by alum Dan Fetes who was the assistant coach at Fairport, and Rob came from the same program as Frontale." Pitchers Josh Koepsell and Ben Atkinson are expected to be workhorses out of the pen and earn some starts as the season goes on. Koepsell was the ace for three seasons at Lew-Port H.S. Atkinson has an ideal pitcher's frame and a live arm. "I have seen both these guys improve daily, and they are ready for the college level," said Palisin. Jon Morrison joined the team in January and will back up as a catcher. D.J. Schiersing provides outfield depth. KEY LOSSES The Devils lost 10 seniors from last year's squad Ricky Mendiola—.350, 7 2B, 1 3B, 2 HR, team best 25 RBI Vincent Sherman — .353, 5 SB Kenny Johnston — .314, 11 2B, 1 HR, 22 RBI, Second Team All SUNYAC Ryan Carmody — .319, 8 SB, leadoff hitter Erik Krohl — three-year starter at SS Joe DiLeo — 12 appearances, 30 K in 28.1 innings Steve Sturm -- Three-year starter on the mound.

STEELERS ARE STATE CHAMPIONS, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 24
their coach was still happy to come away with the tie. “Absolutely,” Bishop said. “I’d rather have a win, but a tie is going to work for us the way the tournament is set up. We’re definitely in the hunt.” That statement proved to be quite prophetic. The next hurdle in Dunkirk-Fredonia’s quest for the championship came in the form of Locust Valley-North Shore, who the Steelers dispatched with a 3-1 victory on Saturday morning. The Dunkirk-Fredonia goals came from Taylor Mattoon, Josh Crane and Meredith. Playing their second game of the day and with a chance to earn advance out of the round robin play with the No. 1 seed, the Steelers exploded offensively for an 8-3 win on Saturday evening. Rockville Center kept things close for a while, but the Steelers’ four third-period goals sealed the deal. Chris Buchanan led the way in that game with a hat trick while Meredith continued his incredible tournament with a two-goal performance. Nick Walter also tallied a pair of goals with Stephen Formanowicz also finding the back of the net. Sunday was when it would all be decided. The Steelers were into the Final Four undefeated after three solid performances leading up to Sunday morning. “That we can compete on this level gave us a lot of confidence,” Bishop admitted. The semi-final game will go down as one of the greatest sporting contests anyone in the stands will ever see. It was an instant classic in every sense of the phrase. After falling behind, 2-0, the Steelers battled back with a pair of goal in the second period to even the score. Buchanan and Walter were credited with the goals. A scoreless third period set up a sudden-death overtime situation. Score a goal and the Steelers would be playing for a state championship. Allow a goal and the season comes to an end. As fate would have it, one overtime period was not enough to decide a winner between the Steelers and Locust Valley. Then with 1:57 left on the clock in the game’s second overtime period, Buchanan finally ended it with his second goal of the game (and fifth of the tournament). The wild celebration was certainly earned, but the Steelers also knew their task was not quite finished. The championship game was still on deck. All that stood between Dunkirk-Fredonia and glory was the team from Iroquois. The Steelers responded like only a champion could, dominating the game from start to finish for a 4-1 victory and a state championship. “I thought our whole team played great,” Bishop noted. Meredith recorded a hat trick for his fifth, sixth and seventh goals of the tournament. He was named the tournament’s Most Valuable Player. lWalter opened the scoring when his shot slipped past the Iroquois goalie just 54 seconds into the game. That goal set the tone for the rest of the game and Dunkirk-Fredonia never took its collective foot off the gas. Six players capped off their high school careers with the win. The team’s seniors are Nick Walter, Justin Price, Joe Caine, Mike Szalkowski, Josh Crane and Stephen Formanowicz. For those six, you couldn’t have scripted a better ending.

IS PEYTON THE G.O.A.T., CONTINUED FROM PAGE 24 There’s been a rather heated debate, especially in the past few years, about whether Manning is the greatest of all time (G.O.A.T.). There are basically three contenders for the crown of G.O.A.T. — Peyton Manning, Tom Brady and Joe Montana. People might make arguments for others, but they are objectively wrong. So let’s settle this once and for all. Which of these three guys is the greatest quarterback of all time? Which of these guys is the Michael Jordan or Wayne Gretzky of the NFL? PEYTON MANNING — Manning is a five-time league Most Valuable Player. That’s the most of all time. His first came in 2003 and his last came in 2013. He probably could have won more, but like Jordan in the NBA, it seemed voters almost got sick of voting for Manning. How about the actual numbers for Manning? Well, the stats are his biggest claim to the title of G.O.A.T. His 71,940 passing yards are the most of all time. His 539 passing touchdowns are the most of all time. His 186 regular-season quarterback wins are tied for the most of all time. He gets a reputation for not being clutch, but his 56 game-winning drives are…you guessed it…the most of all time. Those are his career records, but he has a whole lot more single-season records. In 2013, he threw for an NFL-record 5,477 yards and 55 touchdowns. In that same season he threw seven touchdowns in a single game, which is tied for the most ever. In 2004, he put up a passer rating of 121.1, which is second all time only to Aaron Rodgers’ 122.5 from 2011. And did I mention his astonishing 2013 season came after the neck surgery that many suspected would end his career. He’s a 14-time Pro Bowler, a 7-time FirstTeam All Pro and a Super Bowl MVP. The knock on Manning is that he “only” won two Super Bowls. The guy is the only player with over 200 career wins (counting both regular and postseason). Winning was as much a part of his game as the stats. There are an awful lot of exceptional players that never even played in a Super Bowl, let alone won a pair of them. TOM BRADY — Since 2002, teams quarterbacked by either Manning, Brady or Ben Rothlisberger have represented the AFC in 13 of the 15 Super Bowls. Brady and the New England Patriots, of course, have won four of those and lost to the New York Giants in two more. Yes, the man people seemingly love to hate has appeared in six Super Bowls in his career. He’s quarterbacked the Patriots to five straight AFC Championship games. His postseason prowess is probably what most people think of when they think of the name Tom Brady. They also might think of supermodels or Uggs, but that’s a topic for another day. His regular season stats, though, are also simply astounding.

Never forget Brady’s 2007 season in which he threw for 50 touchdowns, 4,806 yards and put up a quarterback rating of 117.2. It’s one of the best single seasons in NFL history. While many fans in this part of the country (and many others, I’m sure) cheered when Brady got hurt in the very first game of 2008 and missed the entire season, it was somewhat tragic. He was coming off of one of the best seasons ever and poised to be even better in 2008. His career stats are missing an entire season right in the middle of his prime. That said, he’s still thrown for 428 touchdown and 58,028 yards, which ranks him third and fifth on the career leaderboard, respectively. He’ll almost certainly pass Dan Marino in terms of yardage next season. What has always struck me about Brady is his ability to put up monster stats with an almost laughable cast of weapons at his disposal. Yes, he had Randy Moss for three years and the duo proved almost unstoppable, but even Moss was at the tail end of his career. Yes, he’s had Rob Gronkowski, who might go down as the best tight end of all time when all is said and done, but Gronk misses all kinds of time due to injury every year. Here’s a list of guys that caught at least 50 passes in a season from Brady: Troy Brown, David Patten, Deion Branch, David Givens, Reche Caldwell, Wes Welker, Moss, Gronkowski, Aaron Hernandez, Brandon Lloyd, Julian Edelman, Danny Amendola, Brandon LaFell and Shane Vareen (Benjamin Watson has 49 receptions in 2006). If you think for one second that anyone from that list except Moss or Gronkowski could have had as much success anywhere else…well…I can’t help you. Welker and Edelman have both been great in multiple seasons, but they’re both products of a perfect system for their skill sets. That’s not taking anything away from either guy, it’s just giving Brady all the more credit. For comparison, Manning came into the league with two guys named Marshall Faulk and Marvin Harrison on his team. In season two, Faulk was replaced by Edgerrin James, who caught 62 passes his first season and rushed for over 1,500 yards. Manning then had Reggie Wayne and Harrison as a receiving duo for an number of years. I’d argue that Marcus Pollard was
made by Manning, but he was still a productive tight end for a long time. Even guys like Pierre Garcon are arguably better than most receivers Brady had, as evidenced by Garcon’s continued success in Washington. How about Manning’s Denver days, when general manager John Elway built the to help erase Manning’s obvious physical limitations? Demaryius Thomas is one of the best in the league. Eric Decker is horribly underrated. Julius Thomas is a beast of a tight end. Wes Welker fit perfectly into the offense. Manning has ALWAYS had an elite cast of talent around him. Always. Montana had Jerry Rice. Enough said. Rice is certainly the best receiver of all time and in the conversation for best football player of all time. JOE MONTANA — It’s really unfair to compare Montana to the other two guys because the era was just so different. The rules made it almost impossible to make the types of plays that Welker made for both Manning and Brady across the middle of the field. The game was dominated by running backs for the most part. Really what Montana had was the clutch factor. In big games, there was simply no one better. In the four postseasons that led to Super Bowls for Montana, he threw 32 touchdown passes. For comparison, Brady’s four Super Bowl postseasons resulted in 21 touchdowns. Montana’s case is simply hindered by the time. It’s like comparing Walter Johnson and Clayton Kershaw. Yes, they played the same position, but the game changed so much. Montana never even had a 4,000-yard season. Those were incredibly uncommon during that era. Meanwhile, Manning reached that number 14 times while Brady is currently sitting at eight 4,000yard seasons. So what’s the final verdict? As much as it pains me as a Western New York native, my money would be on Brady as the greatest of all time. Manning, however, certainly earns the title as the greatest regular season quarterback and best field general of all time. Really, you can’t go wrong with any of the above three choices and there’s probably no right answer. Who is your pick? Let me know at stefan.gestwicki@ star-mediagroup.com.

One good shot is all it takes to make a round of golf memorable. “Quiet, relaxing, outdoors, beautiful, friends, drink of choice present…Why not play golf? Now that’s the question!” –A.J.Nye, my neighbor and fellow golf enthusiast. Clearly there’s a lot to love about golf for A.J. – for all of us, really. Why not play golf? I’ve heard people say it’s expensive or that they just don’t have the time. I could spend another 1,000 words refuting that, but let’s just say that buying a nice set of used clubs and playing nine holes instead of 18 answers both pretty succinctly, I have to say. I rarely play 18 holes, personally. I’m going to end this with a quote from my friend Peter, who unfortunately lives up in Rochester and we haven’t had the honor of golfing together. He clearly put a lot of thought into his quote and I’d be remiss not to share. “Golf is simply a game, but what manifests to us as a result of dedication to the craft are moments of pure, unadulterated joy, heart-wrenching despair, and iterations of everything which falls in-between. Golf challenges. Golf pushes. It allows its lover to cry, jeer, scream and jump - nearly simultaneously with each swing of the club, with each perfectly placed divot. Golf may give us rare moments in our life which will live in infamy and provide us with stories which will be passed down from grandfather-to-father and father-to-son, generation after generation. It is glue. It is relationships. It is unique. It is simply a game. It is golf.” Stefan Gestwicki is the sports editor of the Chautauqua Star.

Bourne Signs With SPHL’s Huntsville Havoc Contributed Article Fredonia
FREDONIA, N.Y. -- Fredonia senior Taylor Bourne (Calgary, Alberta) has signed a contract with the Huntsville (Ala.) Havoc of the Southern Professional Hockey League. The signing comes in time for Bourne to potentially dress Saturday afternoon against the Mississippi River Kings. The Havoc will take a 21-20-3 record into the 2 p.m. game. They are sixth in the nine-team league. "We're excited to take a look at Taylor as we look to improve for the stretch run leading to playoffs," Hunstville coach Glenn Detulleo said. "He's a dynamic player that shoots and skates well and that should help improve our offense." A senior forward this past winter, Bourne led the Blue Devils with 13 goals and was second on the team with 24 points. He appeared in 88 games over four seasons
and had 25 goals and 26 assists. Fredonia assistant coach Michael Lysyj helped Bourne put together an audition video leading to the pro signing. A graduate of SUNY Cortland, Lysyj played in the SPHL with the Peoria Rivermen and Missssippi Surge. "Coach Lysyj was instrumental in me getting this opportunity," Bourne said. "He spent a lot of time helping me build a 'hockey resume' and highlight video to send to teams and then spent more time sending it out to teams to get my name out there. I really believe that without his help and effort I wouldn't have gotten this chance." A Mathematics major, Bourne make arrangements with his professors before leaving campus so that he could continue his studies while away. "They were understanding," he said, "and have begun to work with me so that I am able to graduate in the spring."
Medina’s Mad Dash Leads to Win Contributed Article Fredonia
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. -- With the score tied 5-all in the bottom of the ninth inning and runners on first and second, Alexio Medina stole third, then home to earn the Fredonia baseball team a 6-5 win over John Jay. It was their third win in four games this season. Down 5-1, Fredonia rallied for three runs in the eighth and two in the ninth for the win. The eighth started with a base hit by Dan Cecilia. After a strikeout, Rob Wiegand doubled and Kyle Sherman walked to load the bases. A wild pitch scored Cecilia. After a walk to re-load the bases, Liam Kelly ripped a pinch-hit single to plate the second run of the inning. Michael Prentice pinch hit and ripped a line shot at the leftfielder for a sacrifice fly to make it a 5-4 game. In the ninth, Quinn Danahy singled to start the inning. James Krolikowski pinch ran for Danahy and advanced to second on a wild pitch, and was sacrificed to third. Medina was then beaned in the head to put runners at the corners. The next batter, Bailey Gauthier, quickly went down in the count, 0-2. He would go on to deliver the game-tying base hit. Medina then stole the next two bases, diving head-first into home to end the game. Danahy and Wiegand each finished with a pair of hits and a double. Cecilia added two hits as the Devils finished with 11 hits. On the mound, freshman Ben Atkinson picked up the win. He threw a perfect ninth, striking out a pair. The Devils used five pitchers. Freshman Josh Koepsell started with a scoreless two innings. Jason Weyman pitched a scoreless third before allowing five runs in the fourth. The Bloodhounds were aided by three Fredonia errors.

fourth. He then tossed a scoreless fifth and sixth. Kyle Smith took his turn, tossing a scoreless seventh and eighth before handing the ball to Atkinson for the win. The Fredonia pitching staff's final line was seven strikeouts, one walk, seven hits and a pair of earned runs over nine innings. "The team showed a lot of character today, coming back from four-runs down," said head coach Matt Palisin. "At times we did not play our best, but the team kept its composure and guys picked each other up. We used 19 players, and it was a total team effort. We learned a lot about our team on the trip. Before our trip, our goal was to go 4-0, and we fell short of that, but we have confidence moving forward." John Jay drops to 1-5. Fredonia concludes its trip at 3-1.

Hall of Fame Class of '16 Announced Contributed Article

FSU Sports Information Dept.
After waiting for years to make its mark on the national stage, Fredonia had two women win national championships in less than one week. When Julia (Hopson) Williamson won the 20-pound weight throw at the 2009 NCAA Division III indoor track & field meet, she became the first Fredonia woman to stand atop a national podium. Five days late, Kelly Sponholz did likewise when she won the NCAA Division III 3-meter springboard diving championship with a record score. The two 2009 graduates and four others will be inducted into the Fredonia Blue Devil Athletics Hall of Fame on Oct. 22 at Cranston Marche. Tim Gebauer (Men's Basketball, '98), Casey (Mazurek) Hennessy (Softball, '07), and Scott Horsington (Men's Diving, '08) along with honorary inductee Jim Polvino ('67) complete the Class of 2016. Williamson's journey to Fredonia's first national title included five All-American certificates, the 2008 NCAA Atlantic Region Female Field Athlete of the Year award, 13 SUNYAC throwing championships, six SUNYAC Women's Outstanding Field Athlete awards, and outdoor and indoor conference, SUNYAC meet, and school records, some she still holds. A Keeper of the Dreams Scholarship Award winner, Williamson was a finalist for 2009 NCAA Female Athlete of the Year and was chosen as one of 10 artists to have their work displayed at the 2009 NCAA Convention. Author of a children's book, Williamson is a current assistant coach for the Blue Devils. Sponholz qualified for four straight NCAA Swimming & Diving championship meets. Competing on both 1-meter and 3-meter springboards, she earned two honorable mention All-America certificates as a freshman and All-America honors the remaining six years. Her crowning achievement came in 2009 when she won the NCAA 3-meter with 516.50 points for 11-dives -- a Division III record. Sponholz also won eight straight SUNYAC titles, four straight SUNYAC Female Diver of the Meet awards, and SUNYAC's 2009 Grace Mowatt Award, as the outstanding female student-athlete in swimming & diving. A past Blue Devil grad assistant coach, Sponholz teaches in the Pembroke (N.Y.) school district and is the girls' diving coach at Clarence High School. Gebauer was 1997-98 SUNYAC Men's Basketball Player of the Year his senior year. He was also First Team All-SUNYAC that year and his junior season as well as team MVP both seasons. Gebauer scored 1,177 career points -- No. 5 in program history and ahead of eight current Hall of Fame members. Gebauer holds the Fredonia single-season record for

free-throw accuracy (81 of 95, 85.3 percent) and has the 10th highest single-season scoring average (17.3 points per game). He also ranks among the top 10 in single-season points and three-point fieldgoals. The Blue Devils won 19 games during Gebauer's freshman season. No Blue Devil men's team has won 19 games since. A right-handed pitcher, Hennessey won a schoolrecord 14 games, saved three games, and earned her first of two All SUNYAC awards as a freshman in 2004. She was among 2004 NCAA D-III leaders in strikeouts, saves, and earned run average. and graduated in 2007 -- her second All-SUNYAC season -- ranked No. 24 on the Division III career list of strikeouts per game (7.59). She holds school career records for wins, pitching appearances, games started, complete games, shutouts, innings pitched, strikeouts, and groundouts, plus has the secondlowest career earned run average and allowed the lowest opponents' batting average. A former Blue Devil pitching coach, Hennessey also ranks fourth in Blue Devil career fielding percentage. Like Sponholz, Horsington's resume includes teaching and coaching. He is a music instructor and diving coach at The College at Brockport as well as director/conductor of the Brockport College-Community Orchestra. After posting a 22-0 freshman season, including 2004 SUNYAC men's 1-meter and 3-meter titles, Horsington opted out of the NCAA meet because it fell on the same weekend as two concerts with the Fredonia Symphony
Orchestra. After a two-year hiatus from competition, Horsington returned in 2006-07 and qualified for nationals two successive years, earning one First B r Team and two Honorable Mention All-America t awards. A former Fredonia Lanford Presidential Prize nominee, he won SUNYAC's Dr. Sam Mol- R t nar Award as the top male scholar-athlete in all f sports. 3 Polvino, a retired Earth Science teacher, started ' keeping the men's basketball scorebook in 1961 c while still in high school and has been at it ever w since. His streak of 55 consecutive seasons -- including four seasons while attending Fredonia -- is a believed to be the longest in all of NCAA. He also b kept the women's basketball book for many of those M seasons, served as official scorekeeper of the SUw NYAC Basketball Tournament, and scored Blue b Devil baseball games during the '60s. Polvino's l longevity was the subject of a feature story in the t NCAA magazine and on its website when the streak B reached 50 seasons in 2010-11. He joins Dallas Beal, Bud Carpenter, John Clendenin, Bob Coon, T t John Fitzgerald, and Mary Phillips as honorary t inductees. The Hall of Fame induction dinner is part of 2016 ' Homecoming Weekend.

What To Look For In NFL Free Agency By Barry Wilner AP Pro Football Writer
C
N
With another major spike in the NFL's salary cap, up about $12 million to $155.27 million, the spending spree that is free agency begins Wednesday. Some teams that open up their vaults have prospered recently, most notably the Broncos. Denver won its third Super Bowl thanks to massive boosts from DeMarcus Ware, Aqib Talib, Emmanuel Sanders and Owen Daniels. Oh, and that quarterback, Peyton Manning. All were acquired through free agency. Of course, the Broncos spent wisely. Other teams have traveled down the road to ruin for giving the big bucks to the wrong players. Such 2015 big-time free agents Ndamukong Suh, DeMarco Murray and Julius Thomas hardly made a positive impact on their new clubs. Some things to look for in this version of March Madness: WHERE DO THE ALL-PROS LAND? How about where they started? Three of the four 2016 All-Pros got franchise tags: Denver linebacker Von Miller, the Super Bowl MVP; Carolina cornerback Josh Norman; and Kansas City safety Eric Berry. The one All-Pro seemingly headed for the marketplace is Buccaneers running back Doug Martin, who has sandwiched two injury-shortened seasons with a sensational rookie year and a 1,400-yard, sixtouchdown performance in 2015. Running backs present a dilemma to teams when their contracts run out. No position is marred by sharper and earlier fall-offs, and any RB with an injury history is extra worrisome. Still, Martin is only 27, dynamic and a good fit with quarterback Jameis Winston. ''I know he wants to be a Buc and I know that we want him to be a Buc,'' Tampa Bay GM Jason Licht said at the scouting combine. ''I'm sure there will be some obstacles - there always are in negotiations but we'll prepare for either way. I'm optimistic and we'll continue talking with him.'' In other words, the money talks. WHO ARE THE BIG SPENDERS? Speaking of money talking, by carrying over huge amounts of salary cap space from last year - not to mention flopping on the field in 2015 - the Jaguars ($32.77 million), Titans ($20.78 million) and Browns ($20.73 million) can outspend pretty much anyone. That's in addition to the bump in the cap number, and other contracts moves they've made. Other teams with millions upon millions to hand out in free agency include: San Francisco, Los An-

Lake Erie Fishing Hotline Contributed Article NYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation
Most of the Lake Erie tributaries are in good fishing shape with moderate flows. Cattaraugus Creek remains a bit high, with a flow rate of about 1,000 cubic feet per second. Fishing on the Catt is generally better at a flow of 500 cubic feet per second or less. Look for fresh steelhead to have moved up into the creeks. With forecasted temperatures near 60 degrees this coming week it will certainly feel like spring. 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. Upper Niagara River River waters have good color, but pack ice against the shoreline still inhibits fishing. Ice Fishing Some smaller lakes in the area will still offer ice fishing opportunity through the weekend. However, a warming trend that starts Monday will quickly put an end to this year's ice fishing season. Be extremely cautious if you go ice fishing this weekend. Always remember that ice thickness can vary greatly on the same body of water, especially if there are springs, stream inlets or heavy snow cover. Before you head out onto the ice this winter, remember that a minimum of 3 to 4 inches of solid ice (blue or black, not white) is the general rule for safety, for individuals on foot. Five inches of solid ice is more suitable for small groups fishing together. Drilling holes or tapping with a spud bar to check ice thickness is recom-
mended on your way out, or when moving around. Safety ice picks, boot cleats, throw rope and a floatation device are recommended safety supplies. Use good judgment and fish with a friend when possible. Those new to ice fishing can check the Ice Fishing Basics page for more information. See the Lake Contour Maps page for maps organized by county. New ice fishing regulations are in effect. Anglers are now allowed a total of 7 "ice fishing lines" for ice fishing, in any combination. An "ice fishing line" means any device used for fishing through the ice, including but not limited to jigging rod, hand line, tip-up, tip-down, etc. Name and address no longer required on ice fishing devices. Chautauqua Lake Chautauqua Lake has some open water spots and poor shore ice. Ice fishing is not advised. Time to get the boat ready. 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.
2016 Boating Season Outlook Positive in New York Contributed Article Boating Industries Association
With the 2016 boating season just ahead, marine industry leaders in New York and nationally see positive trends. Drew Wickham manages the Central New York Boat Show sponsored by the Boating Industry Association of Upstate New York each February with more than 500 models of all types of boats, personal watercraft and related gear on exhibit in Syracuse. After the 2016 event, Wickham noted, ‘More and more people are coming to the show to look at all types of vessels as well as docks and the diverse array of boating accessories. Pontoon boats continue to be popular with families and people who just want to relax on the water. There appears to be a resurgence of interest in newer style fishing boats. The show dealers always offer great pre-season incentives for purchasing your first or your next boat.’ National Marine Manufacturers Association President Thom Dammrich commented in a December 2015 press release, ‘Sales are up in most segments
with larger boats on the move, helping to lift the industry and support thousands of marine industry jobs nationwide.’ The NMMA cites outboard engine sales as a leading indicator for boat sales as four out of five new boats sold are outboard engine-propelled. In 2015, outboard engine retail sales were up 8.7 percent, a post-recession high. In December, the NMMA reported that new powerboat sales are on a multi-year rise with pre-recession levels on the horizon in several boat segments possible in 2016. The powerboat category includes outboard boats, wake sport boats, inboard cruisers, sterndrive boats, and jet boats as well as personal watercraft. For Diana Rood of North Pitcher, NY, in Chenango County, the 2016 boating season will include a 1000 Islands Escape courtesy of the Central New York Boat Show. A first-time visitor to the show, Rood won the prize package that includes deluxe Jacuzzi suite accommodations at Bonnie Castle Resort and Marina in Alexandria Bay, NY. The package also includes a $75 dinner gift certificate, and relaxing by the beautiful waters of the St. Lawrence River along the Great Lakes Seaway Trail.
‘We thought the show would be a nice break from winter and my husband was interested in seeing what might be available as a center console fishing boat,’ Rood said. ‘The show setup was nice and we were pleasantly surprised to learn we won the getaway prize.’ The Central New York Fall Boat Show with new and used boats and end-of-season pricing will be September 9-11 at the NYS Fairgrounds in Syracuse.
