The Chautauqua Star is now the largest free distribution newspaper with home delivery! By Scott Wise Editor
In September 2008, the first issue of The Chautauqua Star and Bulletin Board hit the shelves at retailers around Chautauqua County. It was a radical new take on a classic idea – create a newspaper that featured only positive news and free classifieds, but focus on uniting an entire county. Closing the gap that separates north and south Chautauqua County has always been a goal that our newspaper fervently pursues. To that end, we’ve made steps through the years to increase distribution and awareness from the state line to Erie County. Years ago, we began a partnership with
The Buffalo News to help bring their quality newspaper and our good news to the county. Subscribers to the News could get the Chautauqua Star delivered to their door every week, and others could get our paper anywhere you could find The Buffalo News at stores and stands. Our readership grew, and our reputation was solidified. Now, we are forging ahead with a change in the way we bring content to the residents of Chautauqua County. We have entered into an agreement with The Post Journal to not only increase our weekly distribution by 4,000 papers, but also delve deeper into world of home delivery 9,000 copies of The Chautauqua Star will now be mailed, every single week, directly to homes and businesses. In
addition, another 4,500 copies are being sent to our most popular vendors around the county. We’re excited to bring our business to Chautauqua County, but even more excited to be offering such a vast increase in home delivery. We can now tell our advertisers, and our readers, that 9,000 ad every week are receiving our paper right at their home. That number officially makes us the largest free delivery home distribution newspaper in the County – a fete we tackle with pride and excitement. As we make this transition, we want our readers to know that we are still committed to bringing you quality good news at no cost to you. Our network of advertisCONTINUED ON PG 2

promises of jobs and tax revenue, but they often fail to consider the greater losses that occur when the local business base is undermined. A chain “superstore” may boast of creating 300 new jobs, but numerous studies indicate they displace as many jobs as they create. And when communities like Barnstable, Mass. studied* the fiscal impact of chains, they concluded such development actually costs more taxpayer dollars to support in safety and services than the community would reap. In other words, when new big box chains come to town, expect to pay more taxes soon. But what about all the new sales tax revenue those chains bring? That, too, is largely illusory. Unless an area is growing rapidly, retail spending (especially for mass-produced items found at the chains) is a relatively fixed pie. For example, the most thorough study of Walmart’s impact on existing retailers (by Dr. Kenneth Stone of Iowa State University) found that 84% of Walmart’s sales simply shifted dollars away from existing local (including some chains) retailers.

One of the best desserts in the world is a chocolate chip cookie. Delicious, simple, classic. We could go on and on with different adjectives describing the chocolate chip cookie. It was one of the first recipes I ever made, and I’m fairly confident that there are many out there who can say the same. The smell instantly makes me feel like a little kid again, sneaking bites of dough from Mom’s mixing bowl. Actually, it would probably be good if my mom still supervised how much cookie dough I consume… But that’s a dilemma for another day. Another simple classic would of course be the brownie. One of my all time favorites, and easy to make, almost always accepted with open arms. Unless of course you don’t like or cannot have chocolate, in which case I am terribly sorry. These may both be clas-
sics, but I don’t know that you could even compare the two, because they are in totally different categories altogether. One is of course a cookie, or THE cookie, and the other has its very own category! So what would happen if you combined the two? Well let me tell you all about it. It’s delicious, and perfect in every way. And slightly more satisfying than just one or the other, which makes it last longer than just a batch of brownies or cookies. There have been numerous recipes and rumors floating around Pinterest and other social media sites about this baked good. I was skeptical, thinking it would be too much of a good thing, tainting both the cookie and the brownie. I was wrong. Even after I made this dessert, I was still a little concerned. I thought I had made a total ‘Pinterest fail.’ I told my husband they were no good, that he didn’t want any,
and I stuck them back in the oven for a bit longer. They were already sickeningly sweet and a little too gooey, what could some more time in the oven do to ruin them? Well it didn’t ruin them; it perfected them. They just needed a little bit more time. So when you see the bake time on these, don’t panic. Yes, they really do take that long, even though your house will smell delicious long before it’s time for them to come out. So now that I have taken all of this time to write about just how much I love these two desserts in one, here is the recipe. As always, thank you for reading, and happy brookie-ing!! If you already have your own recipe for chocolate chips and brownies, then by all means, go ahead and try them together. I am simply sharing the recipes that I used together. When I made my cookie dough, I cut the batch in half, because I was using

brookies an 8x8 pan. If you desire to use the full amount of dough, I’m sure it would still be good, but I cannot say from experience. All I know is that half the dough worked perfectly. Brownies 2 Eggs 1 tsp Vanilla 1/2 C Oil 1/2 C Flour 1 C Sugar 1/3 C Cocoa 1/4 tsp Baking Powder 1/4 tsp Salt Prepare an 8x8 pan by spraying with non-stick cooking spray. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix liquid ingredients together first, and then add in the dry ingredients. Mix well and spread in pan. Chocolate Chip Cookies 1/2 C Butter, softened (1 stick) 6 Tbsp Brown sugar, packed 6 Tbsp Sugar 2 Eggs
1 tsp. Vanilla 1 C + 2 Tbsp. Flour 1/2 tsp Baking Soda 1/2 tsp Salt 1 C Chocolate chips In a large bowl, beat the butter until creamy. I used the same bowl that I just emptied my brownie batter out of. It’s all going to the same place! Mix in sugar and combine well. Next add extract and eggs. Beat in dry ingredients until well combined, then add chocolate chips. Spread cookie dough on top of brownie batter. This will be a little difficult. I ended up dropping large dollops of dough on
top and then spreading with my spatula. It probably won’t look that pretty, but it will still come out great. Bake for 35-45 minutes. I know this is a big time frame. Our oven didn’t take as long because it runs very hot. You may want to set a timer for 35 minutes just to check and then you can always stick them back in the oven. But you can’t un-bake something, so keep an eye on them the first time! Should make 9 large pieces or 12 medium servings. Enjoy!

The Weekly Word GOD'S PREPARED PLAN
Rev. Timothy Stahlman Family Church Jamestown fcjamestown.org
God has wonderful things in store for those that believe. There is just one catch. They are prepared for those that will actually love Him. (1
Corinthians 2:9-10) Believing upon Christ and loving Him are two different things. Many times people say they love God but their lives prove otherwise. What does it mean to love Him? Jesus said it very plainly in John 14:15, "If you love me, keep my commandments." To love Christ is to obey Him. In the New Testament the word "love" appears many times. The NT was originally written in Greek. In the Greek there are many words for "love" and they all have different meanings. We still only have one word for "love" in English. So we need to do our studying to make sure we understand just what kind of love God wants us to love Him with because not all love is the same.
In the NT there are two words most commonly translated "love". The first Greek word is "Agape." This is the God-kind of love. It is the highest form of love there is. This word means that you bless somebody even when they do not provoke any tender feeling in you. That means you do not have any sentimental feeling towards them but you CHOOSE to be good to them anyway. We see this kind of love in what God did for us. Romans 5:8 says, "God demonstrates His love (agape) for us in this; even while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." That means there was no quality in humanity that made God feel tender or sentimental. He is completely perfect and we were completely sinners.
Actually the Bible says in Genesis 6:6 that God regretted making man because of our wickedness. But He made a CHOICE to save us anyway by giving His Son for us. This Agape God-like love is not convenient. Do you think God FELT like killing His only Son? No. God did not make that decision based on feelings. Neither should we always treat people the way we feel. We have a CHOICE to walk in love. The second word that is most commonly translated "love" in the Bible is the Greek word "phileo". It is pronounced fil-`a-o. This has a different meaning than "Agape". This word means a tender, affectionate, sentimental feeling. This love comes more natural towards people we like
and people who are good to us. This love is easier for us because it really never inconveniences us in any way. This is the trap that the Christian culture in our country has gotten into. We will sing songs, get sentimental about God, shed a tear or two, but then we will never inconvenience ourselves to obey the Word and to see His plans and purposes fulfilled. Never in the Bible are we commanded to love God with "phileo". God does not want us to love Him only when we feel like it. It's in those challenging times that staying faithful matters the most.
As fewer giant corporations dominate production, distribution and sales, a few executives and buyers choose what reaches customers. Maintaining Community Character When we’re asked to name our favorite restaurant, cafe, or shop, it’s invariably a unique local business. Your local paper’s “Best of” poll is proof. Those businesses define our sense of place, but we often forget their survival depends on our patronage. Local owners, typically having invested much of their life savings in their businesses, have a natural interest in the community’s long-term health. Communitybased businesses are essential to charitable endeavors; their owners frequently serve on local boards and support numerous causes. Yes, some chains
give back to towns in which they locate, and not all local businesses are exemplary models. However, the overall impacts are clear: locally-owned businesses play a key role in our community that chains rarely do. Despite the dismal trends, a counterforce is building. More than 85 communities have launched Independent Business Alliances — coalitions of local businesses, non-profits and concerned citizens uniting to support local entrepreneurs and prevent the loss of communityrooted businesses. These alliances typically facilitate group purchasing, joint marketing, political advocacy and ongoing public education campaigns. They’ve succeeded in a diverse range of communities and are driving major shifts in local culture and spending. In
some communities, chambers and downtown organizations unafraid to promote buying locally from independents fulfill this role, too. The success of such community organizations bodes well for a growing Localization Movement that is reawakening people to the value of local self-reliance and cohesive communities. But for long-term progress, a conceptual change also is necessary. We must consciously plan that future with rules encouraging the values we want reflected in our communities. And each time we spend a dollar, we would do well to weigh the full value of our choices, not merely today, but for the future we want for our home towns. Content Source: http://www.amiba. net/benefits-local-business/
BENEFITS OF BUYING LOCAL, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 puter consultants, attorneys, advertising agencies help run it. Local retailers and distributors also carry a higher percentage of locally-produced goods than chains, meaning more jobs for local producers. In contrast, a new chain store typically is a clone of other units, eliminates the need for local planning, and uses a minimum of local goods and services. A company-owned store’s profits promptly are exported to corporate headquarters. That’s simply good, efficient business for them, but not so good for our communities. Dollars spent at community-based merchants create a multiplier in the local economy, meaning that from each dollar spent at a local independent merchant, 2
to 3.5 recirculates in the local economy compared to a dollar spent at chain-owned businesses. This “local multiplier effect” means shifting more local purchasing to independent businesses is a key tool for creating more local jobs. Ensuring Choice and Diversity Retailers sift through competing goods and services to find those appealing to their customers. Though a single local shop likely stocks a smaller selection than can be found online or at large chains, a multiplicity of independent retailers creates great diversity. When thousands of shops serve the preferences of their customers tastes (and reflect different owner’s interests), market opportunities are created for a wide variety of goods and services.

The North Shore Artists Alliance announced that, after seven successful years, it is expanding its signature event, the Chautauqua-Lake Erie Art Trail, and calling for artists from all of Chautauqua County to apply. Previously, the event was limited to artists in the northern area of the county. The 2016 Chautauqua-Lake Erie Art Trail will be held on the weekends of May 29 and 30, and August 20 and 21. On these four days, the featured artists will open their studios to all visitors and sell, demonstrate, or talk about their art. The artists work in a variety of media: painting, photography, sculpture, pottery, jewelry, fiber arts, wood, and mixed media. Artists wishing to be featured on the Art Trail must submit their applications by Sunday, Nov. 1. Applications and instructions can be downloaded in PDF form from the North Shore Arts Alliance website at www.NorthShoreArtsAlliance. com or from the Art Trail website at www.chautauquaarttrail.com. The process is competitive and a limited number of artists will be selected. Applications will be juried in November and applicants will be notified of the results by December 1. Another first for the 2016 Art Trail is a “piggy back” arrangement for artists to share an open studio location. “For the first time, some veteran artists will be hosting other artists at their studio locations,” Art Trail Coordinator Thomas Annear said. “This will allow artists who are concerned about the small size or inaccessibility of their studios to participate in the Art Trail.” The CLEAT Art Trail opens every year on Memorial Weekend, but in 2016, the second Art Trail will take place at the end of the summer tourism season, on the third weekend in August. The dates are designed to capture the summer tourism population, especially the arts-conscious visitors to Chautauqua Institution, Annear said. Brochures and maps of the 2016 Art Trail will be available by March 1. Brochures will be distributed throughout Western New York and Northwestern Pennsylvania via local brochure racks owned by Forge Ahead promotions, and at Art Trail sponsoring locations. Also, brochures can be requested by visiting the website of the North Shore Arts Alliance or the Chautauqua-Lake Erie Art Trail. The website, www.chautauquaarttrail.com, will include all information about the Art Trail, and a dedicated page for each artist that will display images of work, contact information, and links to the artist’s personal websites. The North Shore Arts Alliance, headquartered in Fredonia, NY, is the annual organizer of the Chautauqua-Lake Erie Art Trail. Its wider mission is to promote the county’s image, economic vitality and quality of life by strengthening the arts locally.

Photo (left to right) Volunteers Carol Kozlowski, Sally Olow, and Gerri Begier, share Oplatek (Christmas wafer) at a Wigilia (traditional Polish Christmas Eve) celebration. Traditional foods and customs such as a sheaf of wheat, symbolizing bountiful harvest and ancestral presence, and straw, representing the hay from the manger, grace the Wigilia table.
The Wigilia, (Vigil), the traditional Polish Christmas Eve Supper, conjures up fond memories for many Poles and Polish American people. During a Wigilia celebration the family table is set with traditional foods and symbolic items. The food comes from the four corners of the earth: fish from the sea, wheat (bread) from the fields, mushrooms (traditional Christmas Eve mushroom soup) from the forest and grapes (wine or grape juice) from the vineyard. The table is layered with hay from Jesus’ manger, and covered with a white tablecloth representing the Virgin Mary’s veil. A pine bough hangs upside down over the Wigilia table. Children watch for the appearance of the first star, upon which the feast begins. Before the feast is eaten, Oplatek, a blessed wafer, is shared among family and guests. The passing of the Oplatek dates back to the 14th century in Poland. As a piece of the Oplatek is broken off to be eaten, the person sharing it wishes the other person a holiday greeting. All wrongs and offenses that took place in the previous year are forgiven with this tender gesture. A variety of foods, meatless in origin, are included to
celebrate the birth of Jesus on Christmas. While keeping with the meatless nature of the traditional event, each family includes their own unique dishes. Amazing delicacies such as pierogi (dumplings filled with cheese, potato, sauerkraut or prunes), traditional mushroom soup, Polish pickled herring, and wonderful Christmas breads and cookies are served. Part of the Wigilia tradition is to welcome strangers to the family home on Christmas eve. The Polish adage, “Go w dom, Bog w dom” means “A guest in the home is God in the home” emphasizes Polish hospitality, especially on Christmas Eve. The ritual of the Wigilia has been passed down from generation to generation to the present day through oral tradition of Polish and Polish-American families. Fr. Matt Nycz, Polish-born tradition-bearer and Pastor of Blessed Mary Angela R.C. Church, will give a talk and lead a demonstration of Wigilia Christmas eve customs at the December 5th event. He reminisced about his early memories of Wigilia, “One of the special and warmest memories I have while growing up in Poland is the traditional Polish Christmas Eve Vigil supper
celebration. The anticipation for it was day-long with solemn mode and entire family engaged in preparations of food and putting final touches on Christmas decorations. The highlights of the Wigilia, outside of the traditional meatless dishes representing the fruits of the earth and work of human hands, was the sharing the Christmas wafer (Oplatek) and singing the Christmas carols (Koledy) in front of the beautifully decorated Christmas tree. An empty chair was always left at the supper table for Jesus who could come in a person of a bagger or a stranger. The culmination of the entire evening was participating in the solemn Midnight Mass at a local parish church celebrating the Nativity of Jesus Christ. As a child I was soaking up these beautiful and meaning-filled traditions helping me to see the world as a place of joyful hope and a common home to all people. I invite everyone to experience and learn about the Wigilia on Dec. 5th. Ultimately my hope is that this tradition will be celebrated and passed on to the next generations on Christmas Eve in many families in the Dunkirk/Fredonia area.” Volunteers needed Some generous and dedicated individuals already working on the event include Sally Olow, Gerri Begier, Carol Kozlowski, Kathy Hamernik, Joan Gula, Clara Kubera, Carol Schiller, Krystine Krzal, Rhonda Daminski, Paulette Pacos, and Stacey Cieslewicz. Youth and adult volunteers from the Boys & Girls Club of Northern Chautauqua County and SUNY Fredonia will also assist in making the program a great success. Volunteers are needed to help prepare and serve the food, decorate, and prepare educational materials. Kate Piazza, Executive Director of the Boys & Girls Club of Northern Chautauqua County, commented, “Events
like these help us understand and appreciate other people’s cultural backgrounds, connecting youth and families across the community on a deeper level.” Valerie Walawender, Folklorist and Program Director for the Boys & Girls Club Folk Arts Program, agreed, “Western New York is home to many Polish Americans. There are many from Chautauqua County, who celebrate Polish traditions such as Wigilia Traditions give a sense of continuity and meaning to families and the community. They draw us together, children and adults alike.” Boys & Girls Club Folk Arts Program The Boys & Girls Club of Northern Chautauqua County is pleased to carry on the community folk arts program, which has served this region since 2006. Dedicated to educate, celebrate, support, and expand traditional arts and ways of life in the community. People of every age and background benefit. This event was made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Como and the New York State Legislature, as well as the Seneca Nation, Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation, and Blessed Mary Angela R.C. Parish, the Evening Observer, 96KIX FM, WDOE, and Tops Friendly Markets.

Service was ranked number 6 and terrain parks were number 7. The full survey and rankings are available in October’s issue of SKI Magazine and online at skinet.com.

Greater Chautauqua Federal Credit Union helps LINKS Pink Walk and Celebration of Courage October 3 Contributed Article WCA Hospital
LINKS Charity will host the 5th annual LINKS Pink Walk: A Celebration of Courage presented by Jamestown Radiologists and Univera Healthcare Saturday, October 3 at the Chautauqua Mall (318 E. Fairmount Avenue, Lakewood). This special event will celebrate the courage of those who have faced breast cancer. All proceeds stay in Chautauqua County to enhance breast cancer care. The LINKS Pink Walk festivities will begin at 10:00 a.m. with registration and many family-friendly activities including face painting, coloring table for children, pink nails, pink lemonade, pink cupcakes, pink cake pops, a fabulous basket raffle and more. At 10:45 a.m., LINKS Charity will pay tribute to the courage of all those who have been diagnosed with breast cancer, including a personal patient testimonial by Karrie Olmstead and video message from breast cancer survivor, Gina Bloomquist, will be viewed on a large screen in center court. At 11:00 a.m., the walk will begin and be led by breast cancer survivors as all walkers will carry the LINKS Tribute Chain, a chain featuring thousands of pink links that have been purchased ($1 donation) in honor or in memory of loved ones who are or have faced breast cancer. Donations for these pink links are available at supporting event businesses including, Bob Evans, Truck-Lite, Cummins, Greater Chautauqua Federal Credit Union branches, AFFINITY ONE Credit Union on Second Street, the Chautauqua Mall, Jamestown Radiologists and WCA Hospital. Greater Chautauqua Federal Credit Union sold over 1,200 links last year among their 5 branch locations and has a goal of 1,500 this year. They have helped significantly in the fight against breast cancer. Kim Survil, design coordinator/business development with Greater Chautauqua Federal Credit Union is thankful to the Links Charity and proud to participate each year in this event. Kim states, “We participate in this charity because the proceeds have helped bring advancements in technology for early detection to our community. Breast cancer has affected most people’s lives in one way or another; and we’ve stood by our Staff, Officials and Membership as they battled through this disease. Your donations make a difference and we want to thank everyone who has donated this year and previous years!”

Following the walk, participants will form a human breast cancer ribbon in the Mall Parking Lot. After the walk, attendees and event volunteers will be treated a complimentary lunch by Bob Evans. At that time, attendees will continue to enjoy the pink-themed activities along with LIVE music provided by EMPIRE Entertainment LIVE DJ. Along with lunch, each registered walker ($10 per person) will receive a complimentary pink event t-shirt to wear during the walk. Walkers are encouraged to preregister and join a team on-line at www.firstgiving. com/wca/links-pink-walk-a-celebration-of-courage/ fundraisers or register on-line at www.wcahospital.org or call Megan D’Angelo, WCA Hospital at (716) 6648423 for Pre-Registration Forms and Pledge Sheets. Earlier this year, LINKS Charity announced that it is once again taking a leadership role in the local fight against breast cancer by starting their $400,000 pledge toward the purchase of the Discovery 630 system. This cutting-edge technology will compliment LINKS Charity’s most recent gift ($300,000) to aid in the diagnosis of breast cancer through the purchase of the 3-D Tomosynthesis which is now operational in the WCA Center for Imaging & Medical Arts.
LINKS Charity and WCA Hospital recognize that early detection means faster intervention, more treatment options, and improved survival rates. “We believe that the Discovery 630 system is the next logical piece of the puzzle as it will work in conjunction with the new Digital Mammography suite at WCA,” says Brad Van Riper, Senior Vice President for Truck-Lite and Executive Director for LINKS Charity. “We invite and encourage everyone to come out and join us for this family-friendly event as we celebrate courage, raise awareness, and support the future of breast cancer care here at our community hospital.” In addition to the major and associate sponsors of LINKS Charity (Truck Lite, Cummins, ALSTAR EMS, United Refining, The Bilicki Law Firm, Jamestown Savings Bank, and Northwest Savings Bank), the Presenting Sponsors of the 2015 LINKS Pink Walk are Jamestown Radiologists and Univera Healthcare.

Less Is More
are desired by the masses, and often coveted. But I am not here to get into a social debate, I simply want to point out; fitness has unfortunately hopped on the bandwagon. We think being “more sore” means we got a better workout. That eating less leads to losing more weight, and that spending more time exercising causes us to become more muscular. Theoretically, it makes sense. But there is something called the “Law of By Brad Jarrett Diminishing Returns”. Oh yea, Contributing Writer that phrase will bring you back to high school economics. The law states; at a certain point the As we see the emergence of new amount of output you receive fitness trends valuing “more”, will diminish even as you conwe see ourselves moving away tinue to increase input. Fitness from the solution truly needed. is the PERFECT example. If Our society has become enyou’re exercising for longer than thralled with the “more is an hour at a time, or eating less better” attitude. Prime example; than 1,500 calories a day, you more cars, and bigger houses
are experiencing the fullness of it. When we fall into these habits, not only do our returns diminish, we also cause harm to our bodies. We’ve all seen, and most likely been, the person who enters into a new workout regimen that’s all about “No Pain, No Gain”. I’ll be the first to admit, I used to hop all over programs advertising that phrase. But these workouts aren’t consistently needed. Rather, they are to be used on occasion as a way to build mental fortitude, and challenge the strength you’ve been building. I am going to blow your mind with this next statement. Bear with me. Many people would see better results if they exercised less, and ate more. HOW?!
If we run our bodies ragged, we do more damage than good. Our muscles begin to breakdown more quickly than they rebuild, especially if a single session lasts for an extended amount of time. Secondly, if you do not eat more than 1,500 calories a day your body goes into starvation mode, and thinks it will not receive the amount of energy needed to continue functioning. When this happens, nearly everything you eat gets stored as fat. If the cycle continues long enough your body will become more efficient at using the small amount of calories you feed it; effectively shutting down your metabolism. This is often the process taking place when people say they barley eat, but are still overweight. In addition to physiological consequences, think in terms of
time. Who wants to spend more of it in the gym? Don’t misunderstand me; I want the gym to be fun; a place you’re excited to attend. But I also want you to honor your family. I want you to spend time with loved ones, and become “Fit” outside of the gym walls. Take a step back and look at your gym routine. If it feels like drudgery, or you’re spending more than an hour at a time working out; scale back a bit. Cut 10-15 minutes out of your workout and USE it to sow into a different area of life. Don’t let the time go to waste. Spend it with family; be in community. Make yourself fit in ways that truly matter. Fitness Will Be Greater. ~Brad Jarrett

CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2, 2015
Westfield Western New York has so many great places to see and things to do. Each city, village and town has a story, and we’ve set out to tell that story. We’ll go through the county, place by place, for the next few months. Check back every week for the next edition of “This Great County."
Special to the Star
While Westfield is eighth in size among the towns of Chautauqua County, the village is second in size only to Fredonia. About two-thirds of the area of the town is comprised in the gently rising plain sloping back from Lake Erie in Chautauqua's famous "grape belt." James McMahan, a Pennsylvanian, was destined to play an important part in the early development of Westfield. He first visited the region in 1795 and in 1801, in company with Andrew Smith, he visited the lake region and made a contract for his brother John to buy township four, in range 14, which included all the village of Westfield and parts of the towns of Westfield and Chautauqua. Judge Warren, in his History of Chautauqua County, published in 1846, says: "The first purchase of lands for the purpose of settlement within the present limits of this county, was made by Gen. McMahan, in 1801. The first attempt to subdue the dense forest was near where the village of Westfield is now located. On this spot ten acres were cleared, and the first dwelling of the white man erected. Edward McHenry settled on an adjoining tract during the same year. These were the first locations of proprietors within the county, with the intention of making it CONTINUED ON PG 19 A small park near the intersection of Routes 394 and 20 in Westfield commemorates this meeting between President-elect Abraham Lincoln and Westfield’s Grace Bedell.

a permanent residence. It should be mentioned, however, that for nearly four years previously to 1800, Amos Sottle had resided near Cattaraugus creek, in the present town of Hanover. After which he was absent for several months, and finally returned and became a permanent citizen." "Historical Note: In fact Sottle was the first settler and never did leave, he merely worked surveying in Ohio for one season." Westfield was taken from Ripley and Portland. It is somewhat irregular in shape, bordering on Lake Erie on the north and extending into the interior as far south as the north line of the second tier of townships. The village of Westfield has formerly been known as The Cross Roads, Four Corners and Urbanna. Dr. Macintyre’s "Spring" people went to the location for cures of many maladies, to be performed by the spring waters and the "Indian Doctor." Chautauqua Gorge ?

upward in places to the height of 60 feet. Little Chautauqua creek unites with this stream about a mile south of the village of Westfield and there are smaller streams, all aiding in creating a picture of scenic beauty in the breathtaking gorge. The drive between Mayville and Westfield is particularly pleasing, with the hills commanding a view of the lake. The prospect is charming. In Westfield, as in other towns of the county, there are relics left by a prehistoric race and Indians were here in plenty after the white man came. While farming and grape growing are the towns great source of wealth, the business interests of the town have always been important.? The "hominy" mills were the first used in Westfield and Chautauqua County. John McMahan built the first gristmill near the mouth of Chautauqua creek, about 1804. Soon thereafter a sawmill was built. The first tavern in Chautauqua County was kept by Edward McHenry, who settled next to James McMahan in 1802. Edward McHenry was drowned in 1803, and it is recorded that Col. Nathan Bird, who came in 1815, kept for years a "free tavern" for emigrants at his house. The first town meeting was held at The Westfield House, April 7, 1829, and Westfield has never lacked for good houses of public entertain-
ment. Button’s Inn In 1823, halfway between Barcelona Inn on Lake Erie and Mayville, the famous Button's Inn was built. Throughout a period of almost 20 years, the Inn gained the reputation as a prosperous tavern through which many travelers passed.? The Inn was located on a hill on S. Portage St., appropriately entitled "Button's Hill." In good weather, an excellent view of Lake Erie was available for about five miles in either direction. The Inn welcomed many sailors whose boats had docked at nearby "Portland Harbor," now known as Barcelona. The Inn was also the scene of Albion Winegar Tourgee's novel, "Button's? Inn." Mr. Tourgee of Mayville, was a writer of fiction, and centered his ?novel on a beautiful young maiden in the Button family who becomes the ?heroine of his novel. Doctor Welch The Concord grape was introduced to the Westfield area in 1859-60. By the 1890’s, too many grapes on the market made prices drop and the industry threatened to decline. In the summer of 1897, Dr. Charles CONTINUED ON PG 21

Welch and his father visited Westfield and selected a building site for their grape juice factory. The grape industry again flourished. Soon other grape juice plants and canning factories were built and Westfield was known as The Grape Juice Capital of the World. History Abound? The visits to Westfield by the Marquee De Lafayette in 1826 and President Lincoln in 1861 (there is a statue commemorating the President’s visit and reunion with Grace Bedell) are very important historical attractions. At the age of 11, Grace wrote Lincoln while he was a candidate, suggesting that a beard would
make him more electable. His reply and visit with her is very touching. The Feb. 19, 1861 edition of the New York World recounted the meeting as follows: "At Westfield an interesting incident occurred. Shortly after his nomination Mr. Lincoln had received from that place a letter from a little girl, who urged him, as a means of improving his personal appearance, to wear whiskers. Mr. Lincoln at the time replied, stating that although he was obliged by the suggestion, he feared his habits of life were too fixed to admit of even so slight a change as that which CONTINUED ON PG 23

A Valuable Healthcare Location Contributed Article Great Lakes Medical Research
Great Lakes Medical Research is an award winning internationally respected medical research business in Westfield New York. Over the past 18 years we have been selected by medical firms all over the world to conduct and participate in more than 120 clinical studies –some of which have had global groundbreaking implications. Great Lakes Medical Research or GLMR as it is often referred to researches chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, arthritis, cholesterol disorders and many other diseases. The research site attracts patients from as far away as Bradford and Fairview PA as well as the Buffalo south towns. Our staff includes 3 full time physicians from Westfield Family Physicians, 3 research coordinators, a site manager and support staff. Currently the research site is conducting 13 clinical studies. The success of research depends on healthy volunteers and those diagnosed with an illness in order to uncover medical breakthroughs. Patients are enthusiastic about being part of a study; they get their medication, laboratory tests, visits and a small stipend to pay for travel expenses. The chief reward however is the chance to help others with the same diseases as medical knowledge is obtained through research. It is our aim to better inform the public of research opportunities available right here in Westfield New York. Today’s Research… Tomorrow’s Healthcare is our motto.

letting his beard grow involved. Today, on reaching the place, he related the incident, and said that if that young lady was in the crowd he should be glad to see her. There was a momentary commotion, in the midst of which an old man, struggling through the crowd, approached, leading his daughter, a girl of apparently twelve or thirteen years of age, whom he introduced to Mr. Lincoln as his Westfield correspon-
dent. Mr. Lincoln stooped down and kissed the child, and talked with her for some minutes. Her advice had not been thrown away upon the rugged chieftain. A beard of several months' growth covers (perhaps adorns) the lower part of his face. The young girl's peachy cheek must have been tickled with a stiff whisker, for the growth of which she was herself responsible." Sadly the next time the Great Eman-
cipator passed through Westfield his coffin would be aboard the Funeral Cortège on the way to Springfield. We can only speculate the heavy heart that now 16 year old Grace Bedell had witnessing that spectacle together with her fellow citizens. Westfield Today Westfield is a bustling, progressive community. Free Wi-Fi service can be found in the downtown section of the village, along with many independently owned shops, stores, and restaurants. Today, you can view some of the beautiful old homes and buildings in the part of the village designated a few years ago as the French-Portage Road Historical
District. Most of them were built in the nineteenth century and are of interest architecturally or historically. Long before the first European settlers came to the Cross Roads, the French had cut a road from the mouth of the creek just west of Barcelona to Chautauqua Lake, hence the name of the historical district. The McClurg Mansion is the home of the Chautauqua County Historical Society and Museum located right in the center of the Village with impressive green space on the Green.

ROBERT NORTH MEMORIAL GOLF TOURNAMENT HONORS FORMER LOCAL COACH By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
For nearly 30 years, the golfing community has been paying tribute to a wonderful man with the Robert North Memorial Golf Tournament at Tri County Country Club in Forestville. The tournament was held Sunday morning and was followed by a Bills-Dolphins viewing party in the clubhouse. “My dad was a member up here for years,” Bob North said. “My mom has continued to be a member up there. When my dad passed away, Mr. Tom Herring, who was my dad’s best friend, decided to put this tournament together. We’ve had it every year since 1986.” The tournament is always paired with a Bills game and includes a football squares contest as well as a 50-50 drawing. “The tournament has turned into not only golf, but fun,” North added. “That’s why people keep coming back.” This year’s event had about 95 participants. “It was a really good turnout,” North noted. “This year was really fun because we had more non-members than members. It used to just be my dad’s friends and other members. Now it’s branched out through word of mouth. I get people that I’ve taught for a number of years. I played with all three of my sons. We’re not a great team, but it was a lot of fun.” In another instance of making the event more fun, the course itself took on some of the characteristics of Robert North himself. “My dad was one of those guys that like to pull your leg,” Bob North recalled. “If he wasn’t picking on you, he didn’t like you. So we like to have some fun with that. We had some holes set up with

multiple flags on the green, but only one of them was a real hole. I hit one shot that I thought was really good, but we got up there and it was at the wrong pin. We had other holes where there were multiple flags and they were all holes and you could choose which one to shoot at. It’s a fun way to bring my dad’s sense of humor to the tournament.” The proceeds from the tournament go to the North scholarship at Westfield Academy and Central School. Since Robert North was a dedicated basketball coach, the scholarship goes to a senior that was dedicated to the sport North loved. Tanner Dahl was last year’s scholarship
recipient. “We’ve gone through a number of managers (at Tri County),” North added. “They’ve all been cooperative and great to work with. When we first started doing it we did a two-person with handicap, but the easiest is just the four-person scramble. People love playing scrambles.” Next year’s tournament will be the 30th annual event so be sure to keep your eyes open for details on how to get involved.

Fredonia Sweeps SUNYAC XC Awards Contributed Article FSU Sports Information Dept.
Fredonia won both SUNYAC cross country weekly awards, announced Monday. Kyle Collins (Suffern, N.Y.) and Laura Morrison (Wetherfield, Conn.) were cited by the conference off their performances Saturday at the Harry F. Anderson Invitational at Roberts Wesleyan College. Collins was chosen SUNYAC Male Runner of the Week. A senior, Collins finished fourth in a field of
237 men with a time of 25:33.9 for 8,000 meters. It was his fastest time of the season at the distance and his second-fastest 8K has a collegian. He led the Blue Devils to third place in a field of 24 teams at the Anderson meet. The Blue Devils entered the weekend ranked No. 9 in the NCAA Division III Atlantic Region. Morrison, a senior track athlete who is competing in his first collegiate cross country season, was clocked in a personal-best 18:40.2 for 5,000 meters. Her sixthplace finish bettered her previous-best time at the distance by nearly 33 seconds and put her at No. 3
on Fredonia's career list in the women's 5K. The Blue Devils finished second in the Anderson meet out of 20 teams. There were 205 women in the race. It's rare when a Fredonia cross country runner wins a SUNYAC weekly award. Collins is the first male runner since Peter Francia in Sept. 2011. Morrison is the first Fredonia woman to be so honored since the conference added weekly cross country awards in 2007.

Devils Take Down St. John Fisher, 3-1 Contributed Article FSU Sports Information Dept.
Fredonia's offense came alive Tuesday and its early season skid came to an end with a 3-1 win over St. John Fisher. Goals by Maria Gordon (Stephentown, N.Y.), Ally Tatro (Fairport, N.Y.), and Kristie Kleine (Cazenovia, N.Y.) ended a Blue Devil streak of four straight games without a goal. In addition, the win ended an eight-game losing streak as the Blue Devils improved to 2-8 overall. Kendall Owczarzak (Depew, N.Y.) finished with eight saves in the Blue Devil net. Michelle Hale (Lockport, N.Y.) and Tatro were credited with assists. Nicolette Nigro scored the St. John Fisher goal. The Cardinals dropped to 4-5-1. Gordon (Stephentown, N.Y.) put the Blue Devils on top, 1-0, in the 23rd minute. The play began in the midfield as Hale booted a high ball over the defense. Gordon then won a 50-50 ball and manuevered around her defender. She eluded Fisher goalkeeper Sarah O'Brien, who had come off her line, and scored into the vacated net. . It was the first collegiate goal and point for Gordon, and the first collegiate point for Hale. Nigro scored for Fisher in the 43rd minute and the teams went into halftime tied 1-1. It didn't stay that way for long. Immediately off the second-half kickoff, two passes set up Tatro, who stepped into her shot and scored into the top right corner from 30 yards out just 18 seconds into the second half. It proved to be the gamewinning goal. Kleine added an insurance goal in the 64th minute. The Blue Devils countered out of their own end with two quick passes, the second a long through ball by Tatro. Kleine outran a lone defender and slid a shot into the far lower corner from 25 yards out. It was her second goal of the season. Fredonia returns to SUNYAC play when they entertain Buffalo State at 1 p.m. Saturday.

Volleyball Improves to 2-1 Contributed Article FSU Sports Information Dept.
After dropping their first SUNYAC match of the season to New Paltz on Friday, the Blue Devil women's volleyball team rebounded by winning their next two conference matches on Saturday. The team now stands at 2-1 in the SUNYAC, and 14-3 overall. Buffalo State was the first to fall on Saturday morning as the Blue Devils handled the Bengals in four sets (25-21, 25-19, 22-25, 26-24). Jessica DiChristopher (Cheektowaga, N.Y. / West Seneca East) and Kristen Stanek (Hamburg, N.Y. / Orchard Park) led the way offensively for the Devils with 16 and 15 kills, respectively. Kelly Edinger (Rochester, N.Y. / Greece Athena) had 51 assists. The Blue Devils were strong behind the service line, accumulating 12 aces. Fredonia then quickly swept Plattsburgh in the afternoon match, 3-0 (25-16, 2512, 25-14). DiChristopher had seven kills and four aces, while fellow middle Jane Garrity (Victor, N.Y. / Victor) had seven kills of her own. As a team, Fredonia hit .373 against the Cardinals.

Mark hit more good shots than his first two rounds. Bryan was spot on with his irons and gave in California, so some time just the two of us is himself multiple looks at birdies and pars. I had my most welcome. best three-hole stretch of the season. As I was taking a couple practice swings on the first tee box, I felt really good. I mean, really good. My hopes for a great round were dashed early with Of course, it’s always easier to take a nice, smooth a bogey-bogey start. But then something awesome happened — I recorded a par on No. 3. It was very swing with no ball there, right? But then somenearly a birdie in fact after my chip from just off thing amazing happened — I hit what was probably the best drive of my life. As soon as I touched the green stopped about five inches from the pin. the ball I believe I let out a, “Hell Yeah!” Not only Bryan got par on the same hole. It’s probably the hole that gives both of us the most trouble at Pinedid the ball clear the creek by plenty, but it rolled hurst. It’s a tough drive through trees and a very straight down the fairway about halfway between the creek and the green. A little chip on gave me a small green that’s hard to hit from the fairway. decent look at birdie, but I just missed. Still, No. 1 On No. 4, I hit what I thought was a great tee shot is not a hole I par often, so I was happy. on the par-3, but the ball rolled off the front left of the green…because that’s what happens on this Mark’s round started much better, too, at least tough green. Bryan put his right on the green and compared to last week. Unfortunately his drive Mark had nice distance and went just right. It’s was pretty bad, but his second shot laid up nicely in front of the creek. It was his third shot that was always nice when three people all hit pretty good shots. Everyone playing well just makes the game awesome, though. He blasted it right up the fairmore fun (unless you’re playing for money, I would way and it rolled right onto the front of the green. suspect). Considering he started with multiple snowmen to By Stefan Gestwicki
Anyway, I was sulking a little bit that my shot hadn’t stayed on the green, but when i got to my ball it was like playing a video game where I could see little yellow arrows telling me the breaks in the green. It was extremely uphill, so power was going to be the only issue. Well, I got it just right and drained the 30-foot birdie putt from the fringe. It was probably the best first pump I’ve ever given. Few things beat a ‘2’ on the scorecard. A par on the relatively easy No. 5 gave me a stretch of par-birdie-par for my best golf of the season. At this point I was hoping for that elusive 39, but I finished with bogey-bogey-bogey-double bogey to close with a 42. I had to take a penalty stroke on No. 9. That was a tough pill to swallow. Still, a 43 on Thursday and a 42 on Friday. That’s about as well as I play golf right there. I hit some great shots and was happy with my putting for once. It stinks to be playing my best golf at the very end of the season, but it is what it is. Bryan shot a 47, which would have been better without a slight implosion (triple-bogey) on No. 8. And Mark shot a 53. If we were playing 18, Mark probably would have had a chance to break 100. He was playing very good on the last few holes, including a picture-perfect par on No. 7. It’s just great to golf with guys that you really want to spend time with. I’ve been spoiled these past few weeks with Mark home, but hopefully the weather allows Bryan and me to at least get out a few more times. As always, golf is great. Go get some.

SELF-PROCLAIMED EXPERT, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 24 excitement sure to come. To the picks! BYE WEEK: Titans, Patriots.
BALTIMORE RAVENS (0-3) at PITTSBURGH STEELERS (2-1) Both of these teams come into this game reeling a little bit. The Ravens and their fans must be shocked to be winless three weeks into the season. Of course, the stats don’t actually look too bad. The point differential is only -14. Joe Flacco has been very good, especially when throwing to Steve Smith, who has a ridiculous seven plays over 20 yards already. The guy is 36 years old and playing like he’s 26. Now if the defense could actually stop someone. The Ravens are giving up nearly 300 passing yards per game and were just shredded by A.J. Green. Now after getting torched by Green and the Bengals, the Ravens secondary will be tasked with stopping Antonio Brown, who of course will have Michael Vick throwing him the ball with Big Ben out with a knee injury. The offense should still be able to move the ball with weapons all over the field. The defense, which was surprisingly good against the Rams last week, will be key for Pittsburgh. Can they slow down Flacco, Smith and Co.? The short week is killer for Pittsburgh. I think they’re the better team, but Vick won’t have much practice to get on the same page as his teammates. That will provide the difference. PICK VS. SPREAD: Ravens (-2.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Ravens.
this road game is a road game for both teams. Gang Green dug themselves into a massive hole last week and almost got out of it, but need to start faster. Defensive end Sheldon Richardson’s suspension story is something worth keeping an eye on. He would be a huge boon to that defense if they get him back. The Dolphins were terrible in every facet of the game last week. In their home opener, they looked almost disinterested against a dominating Bills team. For a team with playoff aspirations, the Dolphins look incredibly mediocre. The Jets are allowing just 191 passing yards per game, so Ryan Tannehill could be in for another long day. That offensive line has done neither Tannehill nor the running game any favors with their horrendous play. Really nothing has gone right for the Dolphins yet this season. This would be a good time to turn it around. I just don’t see the pathetic Dolphins o-line holding the Jets at bay. Tannehill will be forced into mistakes and the Jets’ offense will be just good enough to squeak out a win. PICK VS. SPREAD: Jets (-1). STRAIGHT PICK: Jets.
Colts defense needs to step it up, too. There’s been a lack of pressure on opposing quarterbacks and, as a result, a lack of turnovers. Adam Vinatieri is 0-2 on field goals, too. It’s been a rough start for the Colts. The Colts return home where they’re hard to beat. The Jaguars are reeling and might be missing half of their defensive secondary. Luck should put up big numbers. PICK VS. SPREAD: Colts (-9.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Colts.
CAROLINA PANTHERS (3-0) at TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS (1-2) There have been a lot of eye-popping individual performances this year, but it’s certainly possible that if the season ended today, Cam Newton would be the league’s MVP. Not only has he quarterbacked his team to a spotless record (that should continue against a terrible Bucs team), but he’s done it with his arm and his legs. He’s hasn’t thrown a lot, but he’s been pretty good with five touchdowns and just two picks. He’s also rushing for nearly 50 yards per game and has picked up 13 first downs with his legs. His receivers are terrible, but he’s utilizing tight end Greg Olsen nicely. The team just traded for Jared Allen from Chicago, which gives them another proven pass rusher. The Bucs are 27th in passing yards, 20th in rushing yards, 29th in points for and 22nd in points against. If you do everything poorly, chances are pretty good that you’re a poor team. Mike Evans was targeted a ridiculous 17 times last week, but caught just seven. He’s a great player, but there’s something to be said for spreading the ball around. Jamies Winston has been sacked quite a bit and has thrown three interceptions. His completion percentage is poor and he’s not exactly using his legs effectively either. The defense needs to get help from someone besides Jacquies Smith and Gerald McCoy. This just isn’t a good team. It’s hard to tell exactly what the Panthers are at this point in the season, but it’s easy to tell that they’re better than the Bucs. Carolina must win to keep pace with Atlanta. PICK VS. SPREAD: Panthers (-3). STRAIGHT PICK: Panthers.
NEW YORK GIANTS (1-2) at BUFFALO BILLS (2-1) Can anyone make heads or tails of the Giants? They blow two straight fourthquarter leads and then put together a dominant fourth quarter the next week? What? How? Who? The Giants will be hard pressed to repeat their offensive explosion against the stout Bills defense, but Big Blue might also be getting WR Victor Cruz back on the field. The Giants are also working out Wes Welker and Hakeem Nicks. That pretty much sums up their situation outside of Odell Beckham, Jr. The running game has been terrible (3.6 yards per carry), but the run defense has been good (3.4 ypc). The Bills are coming off of a huge win JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS (1-2) in Miami. Quarterback Tyrod Taylor at INDIANAPOLIS COLTS (1-2) looked poised and accurate.

It wasn’t pretty, but the Eagles used a special teams touchdown to get their first win of the season. The win kept the a slight pulse going for the Eagles’ season, but there’s still a lot of work to be done. Ryan Mathews sure looks like a better fit in this offense than DeMarco Murray. What’s going to happen when the big money running back comes back? We’ll have to wait and see. Kicker Cody Parkey was placed on injured reserve. That seems minor, but a reliable kicker is a valuable asset, for sure. Sam Bradford still has more interceptions than touchdowns, but Washington’s defense isn’t exactly imposing. Kirk Cousins has thrown multiple interceptions in six of 12 starts. A lot of those have been of the game-killing variety, h too. Alfred Morris and Matt Jones are forming a nice 1-2 punch out of the backfield, but Jones need to shore up his ball security after a pair of early-season fumbles. The Washington pass defense has been okay, but losing cornerback DeAngelo Hall is going to hurt and test depth at a position where there’s not much depth. Four sacks in three games isn’t going to cut it for the front seven, either. They’ll need to put pressure on Bradford. rThis is a big division game for these two teams. It’s almost too close to call, but I’ll go with the team coming off 10 days rest. PICK VS. SPREAD: Football Team (+3). STRAIGHT PICK: Football Team.

At 0-3 and having the worst defense in the league, the Bears look sure to compete for the No. 1 pick in next year’s draft. This team is a complete wreck. Of course, having Jay Cutler and Alshon Jeffery out with injury isn’t helping anything. Jimmy Clausen has to be the worst starting quarterback in the league. He has to be.

On the plus side, Travis Benjamin continues to break out. The young WR has four touchdowns while hauling in over 80 yards per game.

After a big performance last week, the former league MVP is averaging nearly five yards per carry and just under 100 yards per game. He has three runs of over 20 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Teddy Bridgewater is completing 67.6 percent of his passes, though has just one touchdown and 149.7 yards per game. It’s been the Vikings defense that has really set the tone in the last two wins.

Retirement Will Give Tony Stewart Freedom He Seeks
By Jenna Fryer AP Auto Racing Writer
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- Tony Stewart picked his way through the crowd surrounding a red carpet at Chicagoland Speedway to make his way to the prerace driver meeting. Dance music blared from two large speakers at the front of the tent, celebrities and other dignitaries sat in special seats and fans craned their necks for a glimpse of NASCAR's stars. Stewart, always the last driver to arrive, was agitated as he scoured the room looking for his teammates. ''Can we get some more people in here?'' he said to no one in particular. ''I thought we were here to race.'' It's no secret that NASCAR and all its pomp and circumstance have always been the necessary evil in Stewart's storied career. NASCAR money pays his bills, has afforded him a lifestyle he never imagined, allowed him to collect toys such as ownership of race tracks and a sprint car series. But NASCAR has never been his love. It's always been his job. The sideshow that accompanies the 38 races a year? A nuisance. So it should be no surprise that Stewart is scheduled Wednesday to announce his retirement from Sprint Cup racing at the end of the 2016 season. He will detail his decision to get out of the car, according to a person familiar with Stewart's plans who spoke on condition of anonymity because the three-time NASCAR champion has not publicly discussed his retirement. Stewart's die-hard fans don't want to believe the news. They've always assumed their driver, a modern-day A.J. Foyt, would race deep into his 50s and slowly scale back his schedule. They think that because they don't really know Stewart, and don't understand that his decision has very little to do with the personal problems that have plagued his last three years. He broke his leg in a sprint car crash in 2013 that cost him the final third of the season; he struck and killed a young racer, Kevin Ward, during an on-track incident at a dirt track in New York in 2014; and he's not at all competitive this

season, mired in the worst slump of his career. Any of that would be enough to push Stewart, who turns 45 next season, into retirement. The reality, though, is that this nightmare Stewart has been living just happened to come as his career was already winding down. Stewart years ago figured out the financials to determine how long he needed to race in NASCAR. He understood the timetables put on every contract signed with a sponsor. He kept an eye on the free agent market to determine candidates to succeed him in the No. 14 Chevrolet. In other words, Stewart had an exit plan. Why? Because fun for Stewart is riding a four-wheeler around Eldora Speedway, the dirt track he owns in Ohio, to make sure the show is going off without a hitch. Fun for Stewart is crisscrossing Ohio during a rare off week in NASCAR to oversee the All-Star Circuit Champions of Sprint Car series he purchased in January. His enjoyment has never been found at a NASCAR race, and this spiral he's been stuck in the last three seasons did nothing more than confirm to Stewart that it's time to go do something else. He's confided during a handful of interviews with The Associated Press over the past 12 months that his passion is gone. The euphoria from a strong finish - and really, strong finishes are all he's shooting for right now, wins are not presently attainable - has worn off by the time he gets to his airplane after a race. His personal struggles took a toll on him. His ontrack struggles have sapped his confidence and
stripped him of that feeling of invincibility he had in more than three decades of racing cars. Stewart can't get a feel for NASCAR's current rules package, and at times it seems like he's accepted that he's just not D T competitive anymore. So why not stick to the exit plan and spend his time R doing all the things around racing that still give him a charge? Well, leaving means filling his seat at Stewart-Haas Racing and Stewart desperately wanted Kyle Larson for the job. Larson is available in 2017, but the particulars of his current contract didn't fall into place with the timetable Stewart needed to execute his plan. Then Clint Bowyer became available and Stewart had his man. Bowyer will spend 2016 making laps with another team as he waits for Stewart to complete his retirement tour. Those Stewart loyalists who are so devastated and disbelieving that this day is actually here are looking at it all wrong. Begging for another three or five or 10 years from Stewart will only tarnish his legacy. He's led a career-low 24 laps this season, doesn't have a single top-five finish and hasn't won a race since midway through the 2013 season. Watching him putter around the track, fighting to stay on the lead lap, trying hard to squeak out a top-15 finish - that's not the way anyone wants to see Stewart go out. Loyalists should be happy for Smoke. He's going to exit on his own terms. He's going to be able to do what he wants with his time. He's going to finally have fun.

weather the storm until Romo comes back. It used to be impossible to beat the Saints in New Orleans. Now it seems like teams are just going through the checkout line of the Mercedes-Benz Superdome to pick up their free win. The Saints are bad. The Saints are really bad. If Drew Brees doesn’t play in this one, they don’t have a chance. The defense is really the culprit. The unit can’t stop anyone, and that probably includes Weeden. After the Cowboys, the Saints will play at Philly, vs. Falcons and at Colts. There’s no doubt 0-6 is in play for the ‘Aints. The Cowboys are in a pathetic division, so even a few wins here and there until Romo gets back will probably do the trick. This will be one of those wins. PICK VS. SPREAD:Cowboys (even) . STRAIGHT PICK: Cowboys.
DETROIT LIONS (0-3) at SEATTLE SEAHAWKS (1-2) Returning home against a winless NFC
North team was just what the doctor ordered for the Seahawks. They’ll get another winless one of those teams at home this week in the hapless Lions. It’s hard to put a finger on exactly why the Lions have been so bad. A total lack of running game (last in the league) is an easy culprit. A lack of deep balls to Calvin Johnson could be doing the trick. A defense giving up almost 300 yards per game might be the trouble. Huh. You know what? Maybe it’s not so hard to figure out why the Lions are so bad. No one was dumb enough to think the Seahawks were done for after starting 0-2. After picking up an easy win in this one, next week’s game in Cincy will be a must-watch one. But for now, they have to take care of business of the Lions and that means protecting Russell Wilson, who has been sacked 12 times already. Marshawn Lynch has been banged up, which is a concern for Seattle. Wilson has been great at picking up yards with his legs, but you never want your quarterback to be your leading rusher as Wilson is over three games. It’s doubtful that Seattle will pitch a second consecutive shutout, but they’re going to beat the Lions. PICK VS. SPREAD: Lions (+10). STRAIGHT PICK: Seahawks.
