On October 6, voters in the Dunkirk community will be voting on the Dunkirk City Schools PTECH College and Career Academy capital project.

This $8.3 million dollar project will renovate the now vacant School #6 into a manufacturing technology hub for the region. This project will come at no cost to the local taxpayer because it’s being fully funded through state aid and a 15 year lease with Erie 2 Chautauqua Cattaraugus BOCES. In November 2014, the Dunkirk City Schools and Erie 2 Chautauqua Cattaraugus BOCES was awarded a $2.8 million dollar grant known as PTECH. PTECH stands for Pathways in Technology Early College High School and it’s a world-renowned 6 year program built around a hands-on curriculum, CONTINUED ON PG 2

known as project-based learning (PBL).

Through their educational experience, students will obtain a Regents diploma and a free two year A.A.S. degree from Jamestown Community College in Welding Technology, Mechanical Technology Design, or Mechanical Technology Machine Tool. Students’ formal education is coupled with manufacturer-driven competencies such as soft skills, OSHA safety training, internships, manufacturer tours, mentoring, and annual performance reviews.

PTECH students will be highly employable and ranked amongst the elite of the entry-level skilled workforce of tomorrow.

School #6 would become known as the PTECH College and Career Academy. The design was aided by local manufacturer input and design cues that include: polished concrete floors, LED lighting, an 8,000 square foot machining and welding lab, CAD labs, inspection room, and green energy systems.

The College and Career Academy will house the PTECH program, which currently serves 18 different school districts in Chautauqua, Erie and Cattaraugus counties. Many local businesses see a building of this type as the answer to their demands – a structured manufacturer skill-based educational program, a sustainable workforce, economic development, and a way to become the local catalyst to improve public education.

The Dunkirk PTECH program is one of 50 programs of this type in the world. Although new, this program has shown to be highly effective at helping students who would not normally go to college become college graduates. The program is geared towards students who are unfamiliar with the college setting, don’t see themselves as college material, or don’t have the funding resources for college. PTECH is not an alternative education program, this program is highly academic (students begin taking college courses in their 10th grade year) and hands-on.

It also requires students to come to school on time, be ready to learn the newest technologies and, in order to work in industry, pass a drug test.

The PTECH College and Career Academy has the potential to redefine education, not only in Dunkirk, but on a regional level. Revitalizing a historic building in the Dunkirk community and having a facility of this caliber in Chautauqua county is essential for the economic growth and development of local manufacturing businesses.

Ballots can be cast in the Dunkirk High School auxiliary gym atrium on Tuesday, October 6 from noon until 9pm. Hope to see you there!

6. Entrepreneurship Entrepreneurship fuels America’s economic innovation and prosperity, and serves as a key means for families to move out of low-wage jobs and into the middle class.

7. Public Benefits and Costs Local stores in town centers require comparatively little infrastructure and make more efficient use of public services relative to big box stores and strip shopping malls.

8. Environmental Sustainability Local stores help to sustain vibrant, compact, walkable town centers-which in turn are essential to reducing sprawl, automobile use, habitat loss, and air and water pollution.

9. Competition A marketplace of tens of thousands of small businesses is the best way to ensure innovation and low prices over the long-term.

10. Product Diversity A multitude of small businesses, each selecting products based, not on a national sales plan, but on their own interests and the needs of their local customers, guarantees a much broader range of product choices.

National Comedy Center

The Fenton History Center, Lucille Ball Desi Arnaz Museum and Roger Tory Peterson Institute will open their doors free of charge on Saturday September 26 as part of Smithsonian Magazine’s eleventh annual Museum Day Live! On this day only, participating museums across the United States emulate the spirit of the Smithsonian Institution’s Washington DC-based facilities, which offer free admission every day, and open their doors for free to those who download a Museum Day Live! ticket.

Inclusive by design, the event represents Smithsonian’s commitment to make learning and the spread of knowledge accessible to everyone. Last year’s event drew over 400,000 participants, and this year’s event is expected to attract more museum goers than ever before.

The Fenton History Center is a community resource for people of all ages from the pre-school child just learning to read to the senior citizen who still finds something new to learn each day. The resources (collection, library/ archives and educational resources) and services (exhibits, research assistance and educational programming) found at the Fenton History Center are tied to community interests and reflect what the community cares about.

Lucille Ball’s hometown of Jamestown, NY honors the legacy of “The First Fenton History Center, Lucille Ball Desi Arnaz Museum (pictured) and Roger Tory Peterson Institute are set to participate in a national event.

Couple of Comedy” with the Lucille Ball Desi Arnaz Museum. The museum attraction is open seven days a week, and features replica sets, Lucille Ball’s Emmy awards, costumes, rare memorabilia, and much more.

The Roger Tory Peterson Institute of Natural History (RTPI) is the official institutional steward of Dr. Peterson’s work and his enduring legacy. The publication of his “A Field Guide to The Birds” in 1934 fostered a massive and worldwide movement connecting human beings with their natural surroundings. Through its nature art, environmental education and conservation science programs, RTPI fosters understanding, appreciation and protection of the natural world in the spirit of Dr. Peterson’s many accomplishments.

Keeping the Faith

Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church Fredonia fcfredonia.org

Dear Pastor, I’m feeling overwhelmed…help!

Please know that God loves you and has the answers for any of life's challenges. The good news is that the Bible is a manual for living in God's grace and victory…even when you're facing a multitude of bad circumstances at work, in your family, or in your own heart and mind. You can get through this period in your life but you need to go to the One who has the power to change things.

Let's see what God has to say about living in His peace.

Philippians 4:6-7 says to "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. (7) And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." Like all scriptures, this scripture isn't just a wise suggestion, but a promise from God! Here He promises that you can live in His peace, no matter what is going on around you. And when we live in His peace, anxiety and worry cannot coexist. Isn't that what we all

desire? And here is the real truth of His promise…we can live in His peace in spite of the circumstances in our lives! God doesn't say that He will get rid of the circumstances causing your stress. He promises that you can live in His peace in the midst of challenge. In the muchquoted 23rd Psalm verse 5 says that God "…prepares a table before me in the presence of my enemies." Isn't it wonderful that we don't have to wait until all the circumstances get "fixed" before we can be resting in the Lord's peace?

At this point you may be asking yourself, "Is living in peace really possible? Can I really have a peaceful mind and heart no matter what the circumstances I'm facing?" Let's see what God has to say about that.

The first part of the scripture tells us to "be anxious for nothing." In the original language, this is written as a command, not a suggestion.

This tells us that God must know that we can live without anxiety.

He wouldn't command us to do something that is impossible, would

family church F R E D O N I A

He? No! Also, please notice that He doesn't give qualifiers on the type of anxiety (nothing means nothing), His truth works for all circumstances, no matter what!

Amish History and Cuisine Focus of Oct. 18 Event

Contributed Article CCHS

Are you interested in learning more about the history of the Amish in Chautauqua County? The Chautauqua County Historical Society is giving area residents an opportunity to learn more about the Amish and their history during an event scheduled for Oct. 18 in Cherry Creek.

Are resident Carol Lorenc, who also operates Amish Flair Tours, will provide information on the history of Amish settlement in the county, with a focus on the Amish who live near border between Chautauqua and Cattaraugus Counties.

The Amish first came to the Cherry Creek/Leon area in 1948. Since then, they’ve become fixtures in the various towns and communities that lie along Route 62. They are known for their strong worth ethic and faith, as well as avoiding modern technology and conveniences, instead opting to work with equipment from the 1800s, using horses, heating their homes with wood stoves, and even making their own laundry detergent.

In addition to the presentation by Lorenc, a traditional Amish meal will also be provided for all attendees by Cherry Creek Inn owner and Chautauqua County Historical Society trustee Sharon Howe Sweeting. The meal will consist of Amish recipes for baked chicken, two salads, bread and pie.

The event will take place from 2 to 4 p.m. at the historic Cherry Creek Inn (1022 West Rd., Cherry Creek, NY) and the cost to attend is $15 per person. Seating is limited. Advanced reservations are required by Saturday, October 10, 2015 by emailing cchs@mcclurgmuseum.org or call (716) 326

Seven JHS musicians were recently chosen to participate in the NYSSMA Conference All-State Band and Chorus: Sydney Deppas (trumpet), Amelia Dolce (French horn), Cameron Hurst (voice), Matthew Leon (euphonium) and Paige Stafford (clarinet). Sonia Angeli (voice) and Ben Russo (trombone) were chosen as alternates.

The JHS students attended rigorous auditions with hundreds of other students from across New York State to be chosen for this honor. The students will travel to the NYSSMA Conference in Rochester, NY in December to participate in rehearsals and performances with other Conference All-State honorees.

“Being selected into a NYSSMA Conference All-State ensemble is the highest honor an individual music student can receive in New York,” said JHS Band Director Meghan Murray. “I could not be more proud of these exceptionally talented students.

Explore Autumn’s Birds, Blooms, and Butterflies Contributed Article Audubon Center and Sanctuary

A Western New York fall is actually several seasons in one. As autumn advances, the birds, butterflies, and wildflowers found in our region change considerably.

At the Audubon Nature Center’s First Friday Lunch Bunch on October 2, Dr. Terry Mosher will share “Autumn’s Nature Calendar: Birds, Blooms, and Butterflies of Fall in Western New York.”

Beginning at 11 a.m., Mosher will break the three-month season of autumn into shorter segments of time and talk about what to look for outdoors during each period. Using a Power Point presentation and lots of audience response, he will trace the changes across a half-dozen blocks of time within the three-month season of autumn.

Terry Mosher is retired after 36 years on the English department faculty at SUNY Fredonia, where he taught courses in environmental literature, English education, and poetry. A longtime student of the birds of Western New York, with interests in wildflowers and butterflies, he is Past President of the Lake Erie Bird Club and has been an excursion leader for the Roger Tory Peterson Institute’s Bird Fest. In his spare time, Mosher gardens, writes about nature, and rides his Quarter Horse.

Following the program, coffee and tea will be provided for a BYO brown bag lunch. The fee for attending is $8 or $6 for Friends of the Nature Center. Reservations are not required.

The Audubon Nature Center is at 1600 Riverside Road, one-quarter mile east of Route 62 between Jamestown, New York, and Warren, Pennsylvania.

Tom Rush to Make an Appearance to Benefit the Jackson Center Contributed Article Robert H. Jackson Center

The Robert H. Jackson Center announces that American folk musician Tom Rush will make a special appearance to benefit the Jackson Center on Sunday October 11 at 7:15 p.m.

Tom Rush is a gifted musician and performer, whose shows offer a musical celebration, a journey into the tradition and spectrum of what music has been, can be, and will become. His distinctive guitar style, wry humor and warm, expressive voice have made him both a legend and a lure to audiences around the world. His shows are filled with the rib-aching laughter of terrific story-telling, the sweet melancholy of ballads and the passion of gritty blues.

Rush’s impact on the American music scene has been profound. He helped shape the folk revival in the ’60s and the renaissance of the ’80s and ’90s, his music having left its stamp on generations of artists. James Taylor told Rolling Stone, also one of my main influences.” Country music “Tom was not only one of my early heroes, but star Garth Brooks has credited Rush with being

one of his top five musical influences. Rush has long championed emerging artists. His early recordings introduced the world to the work of Joni Mitchell, Jackson Browne and James Taylor, and in more recent years his Club 47® concerts have brought artists such as Nanci Griffith and Shawn Colvin to wider audiences when they were just beginning to build their own reputations.

The fundraiser will benefit the Jackson Center and help further its mission to advance public awareness and appreciation of the principles of justice and the rule of law as embodied in the achievements and legacy of Robert H. Jackson, US Supreme Court Justice and Chief US Prosecutor at Nuremberg.

Tickets are on sale now at $35 a ticket for general admission and $50 for a VIP ticket which includes a post-show meet & greet with Tom Rush. To purchase tickets visit us online at www. roberthjackson.org or contact info@roberthjackson.org, 716-483-6646.

“Women Create was a resounding success in both 2012 and 2014,” said Schlick. “The caliber of the artwork that was submitted and the pieces that were selected for display were outstanding, and the overwhelming number of visitors to the exhibit made it all worthwhile. We are truly excited to see what 2016 brings!”

Opera House Cinema Series to Screen “People Places Things” Contributed Article 1891 Fredonia Opera House

The next feature film in the Opera House Cinema Series is “People Places Things,” a small independent comedy about a newly single Brooklyn father grappling with life’s challenges. It will be screened on Sat., Sept. 26, and Tues., Sept. 29, at 7:30 p.m.

In “People Places Things,” Will Henry is a graphic novelist and a professor in NYC. At his adorable twin girls’ 5th birthday party, Will’s life is turned upside down when he walks in on the mother of his children, and longtime girlfriend, Charlie, with their friend Gary. One year later, Will finds himself grappling with life’s challenges – a painful separation, the custody of his twin daughters and finishing his latest graphic novel – all while trying to navigate the unknown landscape of single fatherhood and dating in New York City in the funny and sad way that only an underemployed graphic novelist in Brooklyn can.

Joe Morgenstern, in the Wall Street Journal calls the film “an off-kilter romantic comedy in which everything turns out the way you might have hoped it would if you hadn’t been kept in a state of happy suspense along the way.” Katharine Pushkar, in the New York Daily News, says “thanks to witty dialogue, strong performances and sure-handed direction, the movie is smart, hilarious and an absolute delight.” David Lewis, in the San Francisco Chronicle says the film “is about the changes that occur in all relationships and about letting go when it’s time. It will probably not change your worldview about any people, places or things, but it’s a pleasant way to spend a couple hours.”

Rated R for language including some sexual references, and brief nudity, “People Places Things” runs 85 minutes.

The Opera House Cinema Series is sponsored by Lake Shore Savings Bank.

Tickets are available at the door for $7 (adults), $6.50 (seniors & Opera House members) and $5 (students) the night of each screening. A book of 10 movie passes is available for $60 at the door or online at www.fredopera.org. For more information, call the Opera House Box Office at 716-679-1891.

The Opera House is equipped with individualized closed captioning headsets for the deaf as well as with assistive listening headsets for the hearingimpaired. Simply request one from any usher or Opera House staff member.

Headset funding provided by Robert & Marilyn Maytum, the John Ben Snow Memorial Trust, the Dunkirk-Fredonia Lions Club, and by a grant from Theatre Development Fund’s TAP Plus program in partnership with the New

York State Council on the Arts.

The 1891 Fredonia Opera House is a member-supported not-for-profit performing arts center located in Village Hall in downtown Fredonia. For a complete schedule of events, visit www.fredopera.org.

According to the American Cancer Society, disparities predominantly arise from inequities in work, wealth, income, education, housing, and overall standard of living, as well as social barriers to high-quality cancer prevention, early detection and treatment services. The Society collaborates with community health partners to reach individuals in communities with higher burdens of cancer and limited access to cancer screening. Through the CHANGE program, the Society provides grant opportunities to increase breast, cervical and colorectal cancer screening rates in those communities. Since 2011, CHANGE has awarded nearly 350 grants within underserved communities across the country; providing more than 1.3 million outreach and education interactions and over 460,000 cancer screenings.

Since 2009, the NFL has donated $8 million to the American Cancer Society in support of the fight to end breast cancer. Over the past

The National Football League’s A Crucial Catch Initiative has provided another year of funding to support increased access to breast cancer education and screening resources in underserved communities through the American Cancer Society.

As a result of funding, the Society has awarded a $50,000 Community Health Advocates implementing National Grants for Empowerment (CHANGE) grant to The Chautauqua Center to increase breast cancer screening rates within Chautauqua County. The Chautauqua Center was one of 32 grant recipients to receive grant funding to implement strategies to address the unequal burden of breast cancer within communities across the country.

“There has been progress in breast cancer screenings but not enough.

Community education and creating easy access for the community is crucial” stated Michael Pease, CEO of The Chautauqua Center.

“This grant opens a new avenue that was previously not available by expanding our capacity to both provide breast cancer education and screening services throughout Chautauqua County. We hope to provide screening and education to more than 2,000 individuals. The American Cancer Society and the NFL have been wonderful partners.

They have shared their previous experiences which will make this next year even more successful.

In addition, our community partners like Brooks Hospital and the County’s Cancer Services Program are assisting us in a number of ways and are part of our Crucial Catch Day event. We recently opened a new site in Jamestown and hope to develop strong partnerships there as well.”

that invites its residents to walk. A walkable community has wide sidewalks and walking paths that are in good repair. It is shady and pleasant.

The community is safe and a pedestrian can safely cross streets and roads.

Walkable communities have destinations - like a park bench, a look-out, a waterfall, an ice cream shoppe, the post office or grocery store.

From living and visiting communities throughout the country, I can proudly say most of our local communities are walkable - I encourage you to take advantage. I also encourage you to look for ways to improve and innovate. The first step is to do that - step out your door and go for a walk - while walking, create a

checklist of improvements and enhancements from your point of view. Be specific and descriptive - take photos or draw a sketch to help document.

Your notes may read - the hanging baskets of flowers on the street corners are beautiful; there is an abandoned house with possible drug activity at the corner of Ash and 8th and I feel afraid walking by; the sidewalk between 1st and 4th is very uneven and a hazard; motor vehicles on Route 777 don’t abide by the 35 mph zoned area; or, there is a dog that often runs loose so I cannot walk past number 5555 Johnson Hill Road.

Once finished, summarize your notes and share with your neighbor, start a petition, write a letter to local officials - make your voice heard.

National Child Health Day

HEALTH 23

Contributed Article Statepoint

October 5 is National Child Health Day, a federal observance started nearly 90 years ago to encourage Americans to focus on the health and wellbeing of children of all ages. That includes helping expecting mothers plan for a healthy arrival of their soon-to-be little ones.

If you’re an expectant mother, you’re likely already making your child’s health a priority by scheduling regular visits with your obstetrician, adjusting your diet and limiting certain activities during your pregnancy. But have you thought about important considerations for delivery day? For example, skin-to-skin contact with your newborn immediately after delivery can help your baby get off to a healthy start.

The International Breastfeeding Centre lists numerous benefits of skin-to-skin contact between mother and baby after delivery. These benefits include a happier baby with a more elevated blood sugar level, a more stable temperature, heart rate and breathing rate.

The benefits are not fleeting, however. Mothers who have skin-to-skin contact with their babies are more likely to breastfeed in the first one to four months, and tend to breastfeed longer, according to a report from the Cochrane Pregnancy and Childbirth Group, analyzing 34 studies of more than 2,000 mothers and their babies.

Traditionally, skin-to-skin time has been limited to natural vaginal births. In instances where a mother has given birth by cesarean section, the baby is often sent to an incubator before a mother can hold or see her baby.

Today, nearly one in three U.S. women now gives birth via C-section, according to the CDC. That

equals more than one million moms annually who are denied the benefits of skin-on-skin contact with their newborn.

Fortunately, many hospitals now offer a solution in the form of a “family-centered birth experience.”

Also known as a “gentle cesarean,” a family-centered birth experience includes certain aspects of a natural childbirth during a C-section operation, including allowing moms to watch the delivery, (but not the C-section procedure) as well as hold their babies immediately after delivery.

Traditionally, C-section deliveries are blocked off by an opaque screen. New options such as a family viewing C-section drape allow moms to witness their babies’ first breath through a see-through window, while still maintaining an essential surgi-

cal barrier.

If you’re planning to have a C-section and want to have a family-centered birth experience, do your research to find a hospital that offers the service and can deliver it the way you want.

Ensuring skin-on-skin time with the baby will require additional staff and rearranging of equipment in the delivery room, as well as altered placement of the EKG leads on your body. Discuss these details with your doctor beforehand to ensure the hospital can make the necessary arrangements.

Opting for a family-centered birth experience will require some additional upfront planning during pregnancy, but the bond created between mother and child will be a lifelong memory for the family.

Butler Hockey Team Volunteers with Tanglewood Residents Contributed Article Tanglewood

Members of the Golden Tornado Hockey team from Butler, PA recently spent an evening visiting and playing games with Memory Care Residents from Tanglewood Manor and Memory Garden at the facility’s Jamestown campus. Volunteering for the Tanglewood Group was a break in the routine for the team, which was in town attending their annual hockey development camp at the Jamestown Savings Bank Arena.

According to Tornado Coach Patrick Hammond, the hockey program places a great deal of emphasis on the holistic development of the players.

“We seek to develop them as people, (improve) their hockey skills, and also support them academically.” he says. “We encourage them to be active in the community so that they can understand community values and how wonderful it is to help others.”

For more information about the Golden Tornado Hockey program, visit www.butlerhockey.net “We love having volunteers come and work with our residents.” said Hannah Grable, Tanglewood Manor’s Memory Unit Case Manager, who coordinated the visit. “They really enjoy interacting with the community and get a real kick out of the young athletes!”

Ms. Grable has been working to develop relationships with more organizations who are interested in volunteering at the Tanglewood Group, and welcomes inquiries about volunteer opportunities. She believes that volunteers are not only valuable to the facility’s programs, helping to keep residents active and stimulated; they are also helping to change the general public’s view on aging and memory loss.

“Somewhere along the line, a stigma was formed with the idea of growing old and having ‘nothing to look forward to’ and the forgetful are forgotten.” she says. “Here at Tanglewood we would like to change that perspective one volunteer at a time and provide an experience to learn by that will be

UNIQUE TOURNAMENT AT PINEHURST HELPS RAISE MONEY FOR THE COURSE ITSELF

By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

It’s easy to forget because we’ve had quite a few consecutive months of beautiful Western New York weather, but this area was positively hammered by a massive storm early in the Spring season. Basements were flooded and roads actually collapsed in Brocton.

It was an intense storm, no doubt.

One spot that was hit particularly hard was Westfield. That included Pinehurst Golf Club on Route 20. The small creek that runs through the course became a raging monster, taking out trees, bridges, lawn mowers and anything else in its path.

Not only was the physical damage immense, but the course was forced to cancel leagues and open golf for an extended time. In an area of the country where we already have a relatively short golf season, the economical ramifications of this storm extended beyond simply replacing damaged equipment.

Thankfully, we also live in an area of the country blessed with extraordinary people that truly understand what it means to be a community.

A group of men, including Westfield resident Bob Richmond, came together and decided to hold a golf tournament to help the Swanson family recoup some of the losses it incurred because of the freak storm.

That tournament was held on Saturday at Pinehurst and was nothing short of a roaring success.

“We were sitting out on the putting green when we came up with the idea to hold a tournament,” Richmond said. “The course was wrecked by the floods. We just said, ‘Let’s do some-

thing.’ We were all on board.”

“I could barely keep it together when they told me they wanted to do this,” Pinehurst owner Nolan Swanson admitted. “When they said they were going to do it at the price they were saying, I almost deterred them from doing it because of the normal cost of our course. But they were dead set on doing this tournament. These guys were all very successful businessmen and salesmen in their careers. They’re great talkers, have great connections and are just great guys.”

The tournament was an 18-hole, fourperson scramble. There were some outstanding prizes that were donated by local businesses. There was a 50-50 drawing, multiple tables loaded with

amazing raffles prizes and then a dinner after the golfing.

“The whole community came out for this,” Richmond added. “We have prizes from Peak’N Peak. We have prizes from Shorewood Country Club.

A friend of my son’s from Chicago sent in jackets and wedges and drivers. We have people that sent in a lot of stuff from all over. The whole community really came out for this.”

Perhaps fittingly, Mother Nature decided to dump a little rain on the course early Saturday morning, but by the time the golfers were ready to tee off, the precipitation had stopped and the grass was drying out. It turned out CONTINUED ON PG 32

VS. SPREAD: Football Team (+4). STRAIGHT PICK: Football Team.

By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM (1-1) at NEW YORK GIANTS (0-2) Here’s my prediction: The Giants will control the game for 3.5 quarters before blowing it late in the fourth.That seem to be their way this season. Despite the fact that both of these teams are pretty lousy, they have to feel like they have a chance in the NFC East. The Cowboys might not have any healthy players by the end of the week and the Eagles are a total wreck. That makes this Thursday night game pretty important.

The Football Team has out-rushed their opponents 343 yards to 141 yards over the first two weeks of the season. Alfred Morris and Matt Jones are proving to be a dynamic 1-2 punch out of the backfield. Kirk

went down, but Devonta Freeman has experience as the starter and should be ready to step in and help this offense. It’ll be interesting to see how the defense attacks a Cowboys offense that will have to start from scratch without Romo and Dez. Brandon Weeden, who must be about 45 years old by now in his fourth NFL season (he’s actually 31, for what it’s worth), has the task of replacing what had been a redhot Tony Romo at quarterback.

Weeden actually did go 7-7 for 73 yards in relief duty last week, so maybe it won’t be so bad. The running game will absolutely have to step up against the Falcons. Joseph Randle hasn’t been terrible, but his 3.4 yards per carry has to get better.

Of course, the run defense is holding opponents to just 2.6 yards per carry.

This is one of the more compelling games of the week, both the matchup and to see how the Cowboys cope without Romo. Until they prove they can thrive, I’ll pick against them. PICK VS. SPREAD: Falcons (even). STRAIGHT PICK: Falcons.

compile a 104.2 quarterback rating.

That certainly can’t continue if this team wants to win some games.

Marcus Mariota has this NFL thing figured out. He threw two garbagetime touchdowns in last week’s loss to keep his stats looking great. His six touchdowns against zero interceptions is actually really impressive, especially for a rookie. He’s not forcing throws and making mistakes. Of course, maybe he should take more chances as he’s already been sacked nine times. He won’t stay healthy if that pace keeps up. The Titans defense has been pretty good with six sacks, two interceptions and three forced fumbles.

The Titans crowd will surely be into this one in hopes of burying the Colts at 0-3. I just can’t imagine a team going from great to 0-3. I just can’t. PICK VS. SPREAD: Colts (-3). STRAIGHT PICK: Colts.

OAKLAND RAIDERS (1-1) at CLEVELAND BROWNS (1-1) Last week’s win was probably the Raiders’ biggest win in a decade.

SELF-PROCLAIMED EXPERT PICKS, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 29 And the award for game that absolutely no one cares about goes to… (drum roll, please)…this one!

Yes, the Bucs won last week, but let’s not forget just how terrible they were in a Week 1 loss to the Titans. Also, they’re going to be without stud tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins for up to six weeks with a shoulder injury. ASJ led the Bucs with seven receptions and 139 yards over the first two weeks. Mike Evans hasn’t suited up yet, but his presence would be big. Defensively, Jacquies Smith leads the league with four sacks, so that’s something.

The Texans return home against one of the league’s worst teams.

With the rival Colts also sitting at 0-2, the Texans know they’re far from out of it. Seriously, the Jaguars and Titans are tied for the division lead. That’s not exactly like trying to track down the Patriots. Ryan Mallett got the start at quarterback last week and was…okay, at best.

His sub-.500 completion percentage certainly leaves something to be desired. Nate Washington and DeAndre Hopkins are proving to be quite the 1-2 receiver punch. Now the Texans just need a running game.

The Texans are a better team than they’ve played so far. That defense should have its way with Jamies Winston. PICK VS. SPREAD: Bucs (+7). STRAIGHT PICK: Texans.

of over 20 yards; Phillip Rivers is completing over 80 percent of his passes; and the team hasn’t missed a beat without Antonio Gates out on suspension. Now the bad news: The Chargers lead the league with six turnovers already and the defense has recorded just one sack.

The Vikings are likely to lean heavily on the run game in this one.

Adrian Peterson has led a rushing attack that has averaged 4.6 yards per carry. The bad news is that the defense has allowed 4.9 yards per carry. Second-year quarterback Teddy Bridgewater has only thrown the ball 50 times over two games and that’s a good thing. For the Vikings to win, they need a good running game. They’re not going to blow away teams with their aerial assault.

These are two teams that I predicted to be better than most, but only one can win this one. I’ll go with the Chargers. PICK VS. SPREAD: Chargers (+1). STRAIGHT PICK: Chargers.

sacks and they’ll need to put pressure on Ben Roethlisberger if they want to have a chance in this one.

Of course, this is a team that just lost to Washington, so perhaps the defense is a tad overrated. Offensively, it doesn’t look like there are many weapons on offense. Their leading rusher is a wide receiver. Their leading receiver is a tight end and their second-leading receiver is a running back. Nick Foles hasn’t thrown any picks, but he hasn’t been very good, either.

BUFFALO BILLS (1-1) at MIAMI DOLPHINS (1-1) It’s always nice to know where you stand. After the Bills were throttled by the Patriots and the Dolphins lost to the lowly Jaguars, it’s clear that both teams still have a ways to go to close the gap in the AFC East. It’s interesting that this one is at 4:25 p.m. on Sunday, but it should be a good one. For the Bills, the defense was a huge disappointment, allowing 40 points.

The massive free agent catch has two solo tackles, zero sacks and…well, zero of pretty much everything. He hasn’t done much. But considering Buffalo just allowed eight sacks, this could be Suh’s week to shine.

It’s possible Suh gets blocked by Bills guard Richie Incognito at some point during this game. If there are two more hated, nonTom Brady players in the NFL, I can’t think of them. Either way, this game is obviously huge. PICK VS. SPREAD: Bills (+2.5).

STRAIGHT PICK: Bills.

CHICAGO BEARS (0-2) at SEATTLE SEAHAWKS (0-2) While both teams are winless, it’s pretty clear from the 16-point spread in this game that one of these teams is considered much, much worse than the other. The Bears are a wreck. Jay Cutler is hurt for a couple weeks, meaning Jimmy Clausen gets to start against the Seahawks in Seattle.

Yeesh. Good luck, Jimmy. Of course, offense might not even be the problem. The Bears are dead last in points allowed. They have zero sacks and only two tackles for a loss. Matt Forte is off to a solid start, but he’ll have to really go off for Chicago to stay in this one.

Seattle has now lost three straight games going back to the Super Bowl and this game is the chance to blow off some steam. Marshawn Lynch should be able to get the running game going. Russell Wilson shouldn’t feel any pressure from the hapless Chicago defense.

Even the Seahawks defense could probably use a confidence boost after sitting 29th in points allowed after two weeks.

to take some pressure off of Manning. Denver currently is averaging 2.8 yards per carry. One cool note: kicker Brandon McManus is already 3-3 on field goals of 50+ yards.

The Lions are another team looking to get more from the running game. Detroit is 31st in the league with just 53.5 rushing yards per game. They’re allowing nearly three times that amount at 147 yards per game. It’s hard to imagine why they’re 0-2, huh?

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS (11) at GREEN BAY PACKERS (2-0) A Jamaal Charles fumble with under a minute left last week is all that is stopping this from being the game of the week. It still might be, but it’d be even better had both teams been 2-0. Going from a Thursday game to a Monday game gives the Chiefs more rest than any team in the league. Will that help?

They still have to come play the Packers at Lambeau. Kansas City has a lot to be excited about. Rookie first-round cornerback Marcus Peters already has two interceptions and leads the team with 12 tackles.

Charles already has 182 yards rushing and 48 receiving. The defense has eight sacks. They might even have left tackle Eric Fisher back for this one. Fisher has missed the first two games with an ankle injury.

Of course, the Packers are feeling pretty good themselves after knocking off the Seahawks on Sunday night. Eddie Lacy’s status is still uncertain, but having a Monday game could help his status. Aaron Rodgers has picked up where he left off last season as the best quarterback in the league with five touchdowns and no interceptions. He surely misses Jordy Nelson, but so far the young guys and James Jones are stepping up in Nelson’s absence.

Future Hall of Famer Julius Peppers already has 2.5 sacks to give him 128 for his career, which is 14th all time. You better believe Alex Smith will have eyes on Peppers.

The Chiefs defense is good, but they did allow three touchdowns to Peyton Manning last week. Knowing that, it’s hard to pick against the best quarterback in the league.

The money from the tournament will go towards rebuilding the bridges that were wiped up and well as replacing some of the equipment that was damaged or destroyed. Swanson also shed some light on upcoming improvements to the course.

“We’re going to use some of the money to put in our bunkers,” he noted. “We got the sand donated from Dylan (who was standing right there, coincidentally) from Coronado Stone.

We were actually going to do it that week (it rained) but obviously couldn’t.

Then with the extra work that came with cleaning the course up, we just ran out of energy. We think the sand

can put in three or four bunkers.”

After the first couple holes, he was really smoking the ball off the tee.

the drive home after work (so 5 o’clock-ish) I reached down to itch my ankle to find it was covered in sand. Yeah, it was one of those days.

I actually like the challenge of hitting from the sand, but I’m not terribly good at it. At least I got some practice this week.

I mentioned Mark hitting a par on No. 9, but let me quickly mention how he did it. His drive left him in pretty rotten position under the trees just short of the creek. He barely had a window to hit his ball through. If he went too high, it would have gotten knocked down.

He appeared to really clobber his iron shot, but both of us lost it off the club. We both had ideas of where we thought it was, but when we walked up the fairway we couldn’t find it. He dropped one and kept playing. Then when we got up to the green, there was his ball just a few feet from the green.

That means that he blasted that ball from under those trees to within a few feet of the green. That’s incredible. There’s little chance that I would have been able to replicate that shot and I play almost once a week. This guy hasn’t played in over a year. A decent chip actually gave him a pretty good look at birdie, but he couldn’t quite drop it. Still, he was happy to close out with a par.

I’m really hoping to get out again with Mark as well as my sister’s boyfriend Sean (whom I wrote about a couple weeks ago) and Bryan.

We might not be the most skilled foursome, but I think it’ll be a lot of fun. With the season quickly winding down, any golf at all would be most welcome.

As always, golf is great. Go get some.

Devils Rally, Finish With 3-3 Tie With Geneva Contributed Article FSU Sports Information Dept.

BEAVER FALLS, Pa. -- Fredonia mounted a furious second-half rally Saturday en route a 3-3 tie with Geneva in men's soccer.

A goal by Ryan Ross (Grand Island, N.Y.) and two goals by Parker Healy (East Aurora, N.Y.) came in a span of just over 10 minutes. The Blue Devils were clinging to a 3-2 lead before the Golden Tornadoes scored with 52 seconds left in regulation.

The teams played two scoreless 10-minute overtimes with Fredonia outshooting Geneva 8-2 during extra time. The Blue Devils finished with a 29-16 advantage in shots with a 6-4 edge in corner kicks.

Goals by Alexander Rosenbaum in the 15th minute and Abel Carleton (Photo courtesy of Fredonia) in the 53rd minute staked Geneva to a 2-0 lead. Ross made it 2-1 with an unassisted goal in the 75th minute. Healy's first goal on a set-up from Mohamed Hussein (Biuffalo, N.Y.) tied the score in the 80th minute. Healy then put the Blue Devils on top, 3-2, with his third goal of the season, coming with 5:06 left.

Kevin Harvick’s Mettle Will Be Tested Next Two Races

By Jenna Fryer AP Auto Racing Writer

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- Kevin Harvick and Jimmie Johnson are not enemies. They have known each other since the early days of their careers, which began in California before the two crossed the country to North Carolina to take a crack at making it in NASCAR. Broke and chasing big dreams, the two drivers born less than three months and 250 miles apart spent many a night crashing on a couch at Ron Hornaday Jr.'s house as they scratched and clawed for a break. They made it to Cup racing, becoming two of the biggest names in NASCAR along the way.

They always recognized the crossed paths in their careers.

When Johnson, eliminated from contention last November from winning a seventh championship, had a chance to help Harvick win his first Sprint Cup title, he opened up his notebook and turned into one of Harvick's most important weapons.

After Harvick hoisted that championship trophy at the end of last season, he took time to credit the help he and crew chief Rodney Childers received from Johnson the entire weekend leading into the title-deciding final race. ''I felt like I was racing - practicing a little more amped than I probably needed to be, and Jimmie Johnson was a huge help,'' Harvick said after his win. ''He'd show up in the trailer after every practice and called and texted to Rodney and myself.

You pull the data up, and I was making some pretty huge mistakes. So that eased my mind going into the day.''

Fast forward to this week, when Harvick's chances at winning a second consecutive title are shaky and his relationship with Johnson is suddenly strained. He shoved Johnson in the chest with a closed fist and had to be restrained from going after him again following a devastating performance Sunday at Chicagoland Speedway.

It was all so Kevin Harvick.

The instigator of the Sprint Cup Series, the driver who has never backed down from anyone or any situation dating all the way back to his rollercoaster 2001 debut season, will not go down quietly.

Johnson knew this the moment their cars touched around the midway point of the opening race in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. They were third and fourth on a restart, and a push from Joey Logano had shoved Johnson to the apron of the track. He had to get back onto the racing surface, and when he tried, Harvick's car

was right there.

A full day later, both drivers likely think they could have done something differently.

But that's not how it played out, and the contact crumpled some sheet metal and pushed it against Harvick's left rear wheel. For two laps, the tire smoking from the friction, Harvick tried to get that sheet metal to give.

He should have pitted.

He didn't and the decision cost him dearly.

The tire exploded, Harvick crashed into the wall and he finished 42nd out of 43 cars, dropping him to last in the 16-driver Chase field.

As Johnson explained his version after the race, he had an idea that Harvick was going to be upset. Yet he chose to approach Harvick's motorhome to attempt a conversation he wasn't sure would happen. ''Hopefully he'll want to talk. There's no telling

what he'll want to do,'' said the six-time champion.

It was the right thing for Johnson to do. He's known Harvick long enough to understand this dust-up needs to be repaired because Harvick could spend the next nine weeks making Johnson's life difficult on the race track.

Harvick was too hot to do it Sunday. The conversation didn't happen immediately. But it will. Harvick drives for Stewart-Haas Racing, a customer/partner of Hendrick Motorsports.

If anybody knows how to diffuse a situation, it's Rick Hendrick, who will intervene if needed.

Harvick will arrive in New Hampshire with a much cooler head. He has no choice. He's got to either win of the next two races, or be as close to perfect as possible to continue his Chase. The field will be whittled to 12 after the Oct. 4 race at Dover, and Harvick needs to find a way into the second round.
