ADopt a pet
This week we are featuring “Amillia” and “Copper”. Amillia is a sweet 2 year old white and black short hair kitty. She came to us with an injured eye, but it hasn’t changed her personality. Because of her vision issue, she will have to be an indoor cat. Copper is a 2 year old lab/pit mix. He is fun and energetic and loves to be around people. He is great with kids and other dogs, but should be in a home without cats. If either of these pets sounds like the perfect fit for your home, please come to the Strunk Road Adoption Center and meet them or any of their friends as CCHS.

being sweet By Katy Wise Contributing Writer
While this may not be the typical route we take for topics here in Homemade by Katy, this is something that I’ve wanted to write about for a while now. It’s something that seems to be generally lost in our society these days, but every once in a great while you catch one of those people who ‘restores faith in humanity,’ as they say. Well last week, my boys and I went on an adventure. What was this adventure, you ask? It was going grocery shopping. That may not sound spectacular, but it was quite the undertaking, I assure you. We went to Wegmans, and because I also had a couple of other baby-related stops to make, we went to the Wegmans in Orchard Park, in 0 degree weather. Why in the world would you do this? I can already hear these questions being asked. It was one of those things that I needed to do just to remind myself that I could. Was it the easiest thing for me to take a 4-year-old, and a 20-monthold an hour away to go grocery shopping while seven months pregnant? Not at all. It also wasn’t the hardest. The boys and I just needed an outing, since we’ve been couped up in the house for the majority of the winter. I’m sure there are also people wondering why we went to Wegmans instead of somewhere around here. If you don’t understand the Wegmans appeal just yet, I don’t know that there’s anything I can do other than say that you need to go there to understand. The carts that comfortably fit two children, where you can see and
reach them, are a big plus. The special parking just for ‘expecting women’ is up there on the list too. And the fresh produce selection is really just the best there is. They also have chocolate-covered gummy bears. Need I say more? Okay, Wegmans commercial over. The point that I was getting to was about some of the people that I encountered on our adventure. Like that moment of panic when you just get settled down for lunch in the café, kids’ food all cut up, jackets off, etc. and then your toddler jumps up out of his chair and starts doing the potty dance. Please keep in mind, I am not complaining. I share these stories because I think they’re funny. Every mom has been there, right? You look around and realize your only option (other than letting him wet his pants) is to pack the kids back up and speed away to the bathroom as quickly as possible. The whole way to the bathroom, you’re wondering what you’re going to do with your cart when you get there. The cart is full of your lunch food, which is paid for, the diaper bag and all your coats. There is no room outside of the bathroom to park the cart, because everyone needed to go at the same time. So, naturally, the cart goes in with you! To paint a better picture of our situation, we had a half sized cart, which made this a whole lot easier. But yes, I was the crazy lady backing her cart into the bathroom. To top off the ‘crazy look,’ I was laughing at just how ridiculous I must have looked the whole time this was going on. We have made it, we’re in the bathroom, and the toddler is in the stall. Everything is going great until someone decides to dry their hands using one of those loud machines.
Don’t they know my 4-year-old is terrified by that noise? So naturally, he starts screaming inside the stall. Andrew starts screaming because his brother sounds like he is being eaten alive by the toilet. All of a sudden, the bathroom angels come to rescue me. These bathroom angels were a Wegmans’ employee and an older lady who immediately see the plight of a young mother in potty time distress. Andrew screams even louder at these sweet, well-meaning strangers, trying to console him while mommy runs away to be swallowed up by the potty too. Joshua calms down, and then starts screaming again when the toilet flushes automatically. Clearly we don’t get out much. Eventually we (and our cart) make it out of the bathroom and back to our table in the café. Our prime location table has been taken, but that’s a minor inconvenience compared to the bathroom trip we just had. We find a new table, much to Joshua’s dismay as it is farther away from the TV playing Disney Jr. We finish lunch and the rest of the trip goes as smooth as can be. The boys get balloons from customer service, and we get re-bundled up for the blustery weather that awaits us outside. The blustery weather that snatched away Joshua’s balloon. Some kind stranger asks if he can kick the ice build up off of my tires so that we have a safe trip home. We spend the next ten minutes on the way to the next store discussing why the sky isn’t bad for stealing his balloon. At our next destination, Andrew decides he has had enough of this shopping business and lays on his
back in the middle of an aisle, staring at the ceiling. I try to pick him up, but this toddler has turned to jello. Anyone else familiar with this toddler oddity? His appendages seem to have failed, and when I try to pick him up, his weight magically doubles. It’s funny because it’s so ridiculous, but really it’s just ridiculous. It’s finally time to check out, and the cashier asks how Joshua is doing. He pours his heart out to her about his tragic balloon loss of the morning, and she immediately consoles him with stickers and temporary tattoos. These are the moments when I remember just how much good there still is in our world. Not just that, but how encouraging a few kind words can be. There are so many simple things we can do that can brighten a person’s day, especially when that person might be having a rough day. You never know what kind of day that crazy lady pushing her cart loaded up with two kiddos into the bathroom might be having. Again, not to say I had a bad day, we actually made a lot of fun memories. But I was touched by all the people who went out of their way to help us. So if you see a mom in need, or anyone for that matter, don’t hesitate to just simply be kind. Being sweet goes a long way. And for those of you in customer service, know that your awesome attitude matters and your efforts are far from unnoticed. As always, thanks for reading! Now let’s go and be sweet.

We must stay on task to get results.” The Community Drug Forum will feature experts who will discuss current treatment practices, impacts of drug abuse, and community involvement in organizing efforts to combat addiction. Anticipated speakers include Michael Fox, Allison Sharer and Dr. Robert Meyers. Michael Fox, Research Associate from the Begun Center for Violence Prevention Research and Education, will share perspectives and approaches specific to adolescent co-occurring disorders and moving toward risk reduction approaches.

To this point, there has been a 97 percent retention rate.” Touched by what she witnessed during her time in Haiti, Ms. Fritz further commented about the getup-and-go of the young men and women “who have lived their lives in poverty with violence, corrupt politics and the destruction of an earthquake to be able to still dream of a better life through education is amazing.”
“As recipients of the abundances of life’s luxuries” she continued, “this project of First Presbyterian Church is an expression of our desire to share the blessings we enjoy.” “While our trip to Haiti was to celebrate and rejoice with the nurse our church had been sponsoring for the past four years,” added Pastor Vaughn, “we also found the trip to be very educational. To see the pictures and hear the stories of the destruction Port Au-Prince and Leogane suffered after the tragic earthquake in 2010, and, then to witness the transformation those cities have undergone, it was quite the resurrec-
tion!” Pastor Vaughn summarized the nation’s future. “The country of Haiti still remains extremely impoverished and continues to need support with (its) educational and healthcare systems, and, our church is committed to assisting (the people) in whose efforts.” Ms. Fritz, referring to the Bible, foresees Haiti’s inhabitants’ future by saying, “Jesus’ admonition is that to whom much is given, of him shall much be required. As recipients of the abundances of life’s luxuries, this project of First Presbyterian Church
is an expression of our desire to share the blessings we enjoy. “I am grateful to the congregation for this opportunity to have been a part of the culmination of this mission commitment. It is obvious that our investment was a good one. It will reap dividends beyond our imagination in the improved health of those Jana will treat as a welleducated nurse.” For further information about Haiti or how to help the people, call First Presbyterian Church at 326-2643.

Keeping the Faith
Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church Fredonia fcfredonia.org
Dear Pastor, does God control the weather?
With all the sub-zero temperatures and snow I know there are those praying for better weather, while others are praying for it to stop. So does God care about weather? If the question was simply, “Can God control the weather?” the answer would be yes. There are many instances recorded in the Bible where God’s power directed weather and the elements. Genesis tells us that God caused it to rain for forty days and nights (chapter 7). God answered Elijah’s prayer by not allowing
of gravity. Although God initiated gravity, it doesn’t mean that every “gravity event” is a direct result of God’s influence. Events such as a plane crash occur because of gravity’s influence, but aren’t caused by the direct command of God. The weather operates the same way. God set up natural systems to produce climates and seasons for the planet. Once initiated, these systems operate on their own. Although disasters such as tornadoes and hurricanes are referred to as “acts
of God”, these events occur as a natural response to particular weather conditions or events. Did God cause them? The answer is no. God’s a good God and desires the best for us. The corruption that occurred after man sinned in the Garden of Eden also effected the Earth’s natural conditions and weather patterns (Genesis 3:1719). There was no bad weather on the earth until after man’s fall. A final response to your question can be found in Mark 4:39. In this illustration Jesus rebuked
a storm and it stopped. If God had caused that storm, and Jesus commanded it to stop, Jesus would have been rebuking His Father’s will. This is something He would never do. This example shows us that God can control the weather, (the storm stopped!) but the storm itself couldn’t have been God’s will.

Ellicottville 2015 Summer Music Festival
Contributed Article Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce
Summer can be crazy, but here, in Ellicottville, we want you to come and relax, as a family, and listen to some great music in an outdoor setting. Come and experience all that Ellicottville has to offer, in a family-friendly environment. In Ellicottville, it’s all about family. The Ellicottville Summer Music Festival is one of the only outdoor music scenes that not only allows, but encourages, guests to bring a picnic basket in with them. Bring dinner and a blanket, even your lawn chair. Enjoy the show and have a family meal outdoors, in the fresh air. Parking is free and the entire venue is wheelchair accessible. With ticket prices starting at $25, children 12 and under are free, where else can you find this much of a night of family entertainment? For those looking for something a bit more than a picnic on the hillside, VIP packages are available that include meals, refreshments, all-event tickets and preferred parking and seating. The Summer Music Festival gets under way Friday afternoon, July 3, when a ride to the top of the hill at Holiday Valley will open to drinks and hors d’oeuvres. The food, drink and view will be just the start of the night as the party moves to the Holiday Valley Main Lodge with Monte Carlo night. All of that funny money will be used to bid on some stellar items! Saturday, May the Force be with You as the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra takes to the stage at
the foot of the hill, playing pieces from the iconic film series, Star Wars. Adults and children alike will have a great time as members of the Imperial army and their axis friends make their way through the crowds, in their attempt to take over the hill for the Emperor. No worries, the Rebel Alliance will be doing what they can to defend all that is good on the resort. Not only will the philharmonic play the popular hits from a galaxy far, far away, but they will also be playing dance music to get those toes a-tapping. The performance will culminate in an orchestrated fire-
works show to some of the best patriotic music known. On Sunday, the stage will play host to one of the most versatile bands in the classic rock genre, Grammy Award-winning, Blood, Sweat and Tears, with lead singer, American Idol runner up, Bo Bice, play their hits, spanning nearly four decades. The band is known for hits such as “Spinning Wheel,” “You’ve Made Me So Very Happy,” “I Can’t Quit Her,” “And When I Die” and many more. Summer Music Festival isn’t just about what’s going on up at the resort. Our historic village is
home to many shops and restaurants, just waiting to be explored. During the Summer Music Festival weekend, the village is alive with an arts and crafts show, a strawberry festival, the annual pet parade, and you never know what else you may find! There’s a buzz around Ellicottville. Come and see what it’s all about. For more information on Ellicottville’s 2015 Summer Music Festival, call 1-800-349-9099, email info@ellicottvilleny.com or go to www.ellicottvilleny.com.

Gardens & Landscapes Day Planned Contributed Article JCC
Gardens & Landscapes Day, hosted by Cornell Cooperative Extension of Chautauqua County Master Gardeners and Jamestown Community College’s Center for Continuing Education, will be held from 8:30 a.m.-3 p.m. on March 7. The program will be held in the Carnahan Center on JCC’s Jamestown Campus. The $50 program registration fee includes lunch. To register, call JCC at 338.1005 by March 3. Keynote speaker Connie Oswald Stofko will present “45 Gardening Tips in 45 Minutes,” a compilation of the best ideas for successful gardening in western New York. Participants will also have the opportunity to interact during
gardening workshops and demonstrations. She will share some of the best tips she has learned while interviewing home gardeners and gardening experts. Her magazine explores plant choices, news on pests and diseases, gardening trends, gardening crafts, interviews with experts, tips from home gardeners, and how-to videos. Ms. Stofko publishes Buffalo-NiagaraGardening.com, an online gardening magazine for western New York that features a comprehensive list of regional gardening events. A reporter for more than three decades, Ms. Stofko has received state and national awards for her work. She holds a bachelor’s degree in journalism and a master’s degree in applied communication.
“The Beauty and Diversity of Native Flora” will be presented by Sara Baker Michalak, a native plant propagator, visual artist, and writer. After founding and operating a native plant nursery, Canadaway Wildflowers, she and others now enjoy the extensive native plantings on the family’s property along Canadaway Creek in Fredonia. Ms. Michalak will outline the beauty and diversity of native flora, the environmental benefits of landscaping with native plants, the relationships among native flora and wildlife, and creating backyard habitats. Her essays about the natural world have been published in Nature Photographer Magazine, Buffalo Spree, Upstate Gardeners’ Journal, and The Christian Science Monitor.
Her visual art is exhibited extensively. David Metzler, an artistic designer, will share tips and techniques emphasizing structure and design in “Designing a Garden for Four Seasons.” Metzler’s gardens have been spotlighted in the Jamestown Audubon Society’s annual Secret Garden Tour several times. The features, architecture, and unique use of plants and other natural elements that Metzler incorporates into his ‘secret’ paradise are renowned. Metzler has shared his passion for unique floral designs with garden clubs and event settings throughout the region. Betsy Burgeson will explore environmental implications during “Emerald Ash Borer: Are You Ready?” The Emerald Ash Borer
(EAB) is an invasive insect of Asian origin that is rapidly making its way across the United States, threatening all ash trees. It tunnels under the bark, thereby cutting off water and nutrients and ultimately killing the tree within two to four years. Ms. Burgeson will empower participants to recognize the signs and symptoms of EAB, understand the potential effects on communities, and prepare for an infestation and make educated plans for their own ash trees. Ms. Burgeson, chairperson of the Chautauqua County Forest Pest Task Force, was hired in 2008 as Chautauqua County’s first watershed steward, a position that incorporated her love of gardening with educating the public on the importance of water quality.
She was instrumental in restarting the Master Gardener Program in Chautauqua County after a 20-year hiatus and was the program coordinator from 2010 until January 2015 when she joined the Chautauqua Institution staff as superintendent of gardens and landscapes. Ms. Burgeson earned a bachelor’s degree in earth science and biology education from the State University of New York at Fredonia and taught biology at Panama Central School from 2000-2007.

Tom Erlandson Presenter at Nature Center’s March First Friday
Contributed Article Audubon Center and Sanctuary
What is an estuary? Is there one in your neighborhood? If not, where can you find one? Retired Jamestown Community College natural science professor Tom Erlandson will talk about estuaries at the Audubon Nature Center’s First Friday Lunch Bunch on March 6 at 11 a.m. Does anyone live in an estuary? If so, who? Or what? Why should New York City be called “The Big Oyster” instead of “The Big Apple?” Why is this topic appropriate for Audubon’s First Friday series? Learn the answers to these and other intriguing questions at this presentation about the unique qualities of an estuary habitat. With an MS in Entomology and a
PhD in Zoology, Tom Erlandson taught at Jamestown Community College for 27 years and since retiring has written articles for Audubon Nature Center and Roger Tory Peterson Institute as well as co-authored Figure 8 the Lake: A Driving Tour of Chautauqua Lake.

Paul Lombardo Shares His Story at WCA Strike Out Heart Disease Event Contributed Article WCA Hospital
J. Paul Lombardo, retired teacher and newspaper columnist for The Post-Journal, took center stage to share his heartfelt, real-life account after experiencing sudden chest pain, at the 2015 Strike Out Heart Disease event, presented by Medtronic, held on Sunday, February 21. The annual family and friend entertainment bowling event, held at the Jamestown Bowling Company on Foote Avenue, was aimed at taking action against heart disease and raising funds in support of the WCA Heart Center. Proceeds from the heart event will be used toward new heart monitors at the WCA Heart Center. “I was petrified,” said Paul Lombardo who was treated for chest pain at the WCA Emergency Department and cared for by the WCA Heart Center catheterization and cardiac rehab teams. “Everything happened so quickly. It was an incredibly scary experience not only for me, but for my wife, kids and family. Nevertheless, the countless nurses and doctors at WCA put me at ease rather quickly. Today, I am well on the road to recovery and I have learned from my experience that I needed to make some lifestyle changes. I have changed my diet, lost some weight, and learned to pace myself. I can’t say thanks enough to all of the people who helped me on the road to my speedy recovery from the emergency department doctors and nurses to the catheterization lab and cardiac rehab staff at the WCA Heart Center. All of them are incredible. I wouldn’t be here today without the support from everyone involved in my care. My appreciation also goes to Dr. Cirbus, who said at my last doctor’s visit that he did not need to see me for another six months. It really feels amazing to receive this type of medical report. Please continue to do the great work that you do. You are so important to those of us going through such a scary experience and I am a testament of your great work.” Brenda Fitzgerald, R.N., senior cardiac specialist at the WCA Heart Center, cautioned everyone in attendance at the event, that heart disease is the leading cause of death for people in the United States. “Heart disease is the number one cause of death for both men and women in our country. It is very important to be aware of the signs and symptoms of heart disease, which are different for women than men. If you are diagnosed with heart disease or experience sudden symptoms of a heart attack, please seek treatment immediately and follow the preventative measures of care so

you can live a heart-healthy life.” The Strike Out Heart Disease event was a scotch doubles bowling format. More than 75 area residents as well as the Jamestown High School Bowling team joined the fight against heart disease, bowling with family, friends and co-workers and taking part in basket raffles, 50/50s and purchasing tribute hearts in memory or honor of someone they love affected by heart disease. Special appreciation was extended by Megan D’Angelo, WCA Director of Development, to presenting sponsor, Medtronic and area businesses who played a part in supporting the event including Jamestown Bowling Company, Brad Zimmer of DJ’s Unlimited, McKinney Stables, The Basket Company, JCC Total Fitness, Jamestown High School Bowling team and coach, Peggy Harris, Leopard Lady Jewels, Pepsi Beverages Company, Peterson’s Candies, Serta Mattress Company, WCA employees of the cardiac cath lab, cardiology, health information management, office of development and public relations departments, Buffalo Bills, Build A Bear, Delta Sonic, Erie Otters, Harley Davidson of Erie, Karen Watcon, Might Taco, Otterbox, Redbox, SkyZone, Stampin Up, Wheel of Fortune, Wendy’s, Southern Tier Express, Whiskey Hill Saloon, Y’ounique Danielle Loomis and Donna Eskelli.

AUTO TIPS AND TRICKS 25
6 CPO SUVs That Look Brand New
Contributed Article AutoTrader.com
If you're looking for a new SUV, you may instead want to consider a certified pre-owned (CPO) model. That way, you'll get a full manufacturerbacked warranty without the premium pricing associated with buying a totally new vehicle. Best of all, many CPO vehicles offer the same styling as brand-new models, but at much lower prices. To prove our point, we've rounded up six of our favorite certified pre-owned SUVs that still look brand new, touting the latest styling at a sharp discount. Buick Enclave Although the luxurious Buick Enclave received a face-lift for the 2013 model year, the popular 3-row SUV hasn't been fully redesigned since originally going on sale for the 2008 model year. Just about any certified pre-owned Enclave combines upto-date styling with far lower prices than new models. In fact, CPO 2010 models are easy to find on AutoTrader for around $24,000. That's a far cry from new prices, which can range from $40,000 to $50,000 and
up. Despite the huge discount, you'll still get roughly the same luxurious interior and the same muscular 3.6-liter V6 powerplant. GMC Terrain Originally on sale for the 2010 model year, GMC's small-to-midsize Terrain offers bold, memorable styling that hasn't been adjusted since the SUV first went on sale. The result is that certified pre-owned 2010 Terrain models look exactly like new ones while offering a sharp discount. A CPO 2010 Terrain is easily available for around $19,000, compared to $28,000 or more for a new model. Best of all, 2010 Terrain models boast a surprisingly long list of available equipment, including a power liftgate, rear parking sensors and leather upholstery. Jeep Grand Cherokee While the current Jeep Grand Cherokee received a minor update for 2014, the SUV has held the same basic look since 2011. That's good news for drivers interested in getting a new-looking Grand Cherokee without paying new prices. In fact, it's easy to find a certified pre-owned 2011 Grand Cherokee on Auto-
Trader for around $26,000, which is a huge discount compared to a new model. Don't worry about missing out on modern gadgets. The 2011 Grand Cherokee offers many of these conveniences, such as realtime traffic, a remote ignition and ventilated seats. Kia Sportage Fully redesigned for 2011, the Kia Sportage is a popular compact crossover that boasts handsome styling and good gas mileage. We also love the 2011 Sportage's impressive levels of available equipment, with such offerings as 18-inch alloy wheels, keyless ignition and entry and a panoramic sunroof. Best of all, the 2011 Sportage looks just like today's model, so no one will notice if you choose a CPO example (currently available for around $19,500 on AutoTrader) instead of a more expensive new one. Lexus RX Although it's scheduled to be overhauled soon, the Lexus RX has carried on with the same basic look since its last full redesign in 2010. Many certified pre-owned RX models still look new, includ-
ing some that are up to 5 years old. While that may seem a bit dated, Lexus offers one of the best certified pre-owned warranties in the business while also making some of the most reliable cars on the market. We wouldn't think twice about a 2010 RX with a CPO warranty, especially since they're easily available for around $29,500, which is a big break compared to a new model. Mercedes-Benz GL-Class Despite a face-lift for the 2013 model year, the full-size Mercedes-Benz GL-Class luxury SUV looks largely the same as it always did. That's good news for shoppers interested in used SUVs with new styling, especially considering that a 2010 model with a CPO warranty can be found for under $38,000 on AutoTrader. That's a big difference compared to new prices, which start in the $65,000 range. And while a 2010 GL-Class won't offer all the same high-end amenities as a new model, it still boasts such available features as dual-zone automatic climate control, a backup camera, a navigation system and keyless ignition with push-button starting.

GUEST SPEAKER SHANE CONLAN HIGHLIGHTS 34TH ANNUAL CSHOF BANQUET By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
The Lakewood Rod and Gun Club was fi lled with some of the brightest sports stars from Chautauqua County past and present during the recent 34th Annual Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame banquet. Not only was a new class of 10 coaches and athletes inducted into the CSHOF during the ceremony, but over 40 individuals from amateur, high school and collegiate sports were honored for their achievements over the past year. “We’re really excited,” CSHOF President Randy Anderson exclaimed. “This is kind of the home-grown induction banquet. Not only are all of our inductees Chautauqua County guys, but our guest speaker is a Chautauqua County guy. It doesn’t get any better than this.” That guest speaker was none other than Frewsburg’s own Shane Conlan. Conlan was a star for the Bears before going on to greatness at Penn State. While at Penn State, the linebacker was an All-American, two-time national champion and was recently inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame — an honor reserved for a mere .002 percent of
“I get asked that a lot,” Conlan admitted. “I don’t really know other than the fact that I grew up with a bunch of guys that just loved to play sports. I don’t know if I was just lucky. First of all, they’ll find you if you’re good enough. I don’t care where you’re from. For them to find me in the small little village of Frewsburg was great.” Simply hearing Conlan speak would have made for a great night in itself, but that was hardly the only highlight of the night. The 10 new inductees to the CSHOF were some of the biggest names in Chautauqua County sports. The Class of 2015 consisted of Jehuu Caulcrick, Chuck Crist, Bill Davenport, Jack Former Buffalo Bills linebacker and Frewsburg native Keeney, Scrubby Olson, Shane Conlan (right) chats with 2015 Chautauqua Sports Vincent Powers, Ramsay Hall of Fame inductee Dan Stimson prior to the CSHOF Riddell, Jim Roselle, Dan induction banquet at the Lakewood Rod and Gun Club.

THE BEST OF THE BEST, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 26 shows that people want to be a part of what we’re doing. “We’re getting the best of the best,” Anderson continued. “We take our selection assignment very seriously. It’s not something we do whimsically. We want to make sure we get the best people.” One of those “best people” was Sherman’s legendary girls basketball coach Mel Swanson, who according to fellow inductee Bill Davenport, has “more wins than God.” While that may be an impossible measure, Swanson has spent the past 38 years accumulating more wins than any coach in Western New York history. He entered the 2014-2015 season with 570 wins — a simply staggering number. “Obviously I played a lot of basketball in high school,” Swanson pointed out. “I had great coaches at Panama when I was there. I was always playing the game. Then I got the teaching job at Sherman and they had an opening. I love the game itself and the competitive nature. “I’ve had a good group of young kids that have come through that I was able to teach the skills to,” he continued. “We didn’t win a game for 44 outings. We haven’t had a losing record since in 34 years.” In January, Swanson was named the 2014 Northeast Coach of the Year by the National Federation of State High School Associations. Now, he’ll forever be among the greats in the CSHOF. “It’s really a great honor for all of my players over the years,” Swanson added. “All of my assistant coaches and our school system, too. There’s a
great support for basketball in Sherman.” Swanson was presented by his son Nolan, a 2003 inductee into the CSHOF. Dan Stimson was supposed to be Falconer’s next great football player. After suffering a serious knee injury that ended his football career, Stimson quickly switched gears and showed off his allaround athletic ability by excelling in the sport of track and field. After his impressive competitive days were over, Stimson turned his attention to coaching. “The people I watched coach at Falconer High School truly seemed to enjoy what they were doing,” Stimson reminisced. “I was a good athlete so coaching seemed like a natural thing to do.” The highlight of Stimson’s coaching career came during the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta when William and Mary product Brian Hyde competed in the 1,500 meters. “Watching him walk out was just unbelievable,” Stimson recalled fondly. And now, the Falconer native and legendary collegiate track and field coach will take his rightful place in the CSHOF. “I was shocked,” Stimson said of his induction. “I’ve been away from the area for 32 years. My friends called and wrote letters on my support. The committee agreed that I should be in. It was because of my friends in this area that I get this honor.” Jim Roselle has been the voice of WJTN for since 1953. He’s interviewed some of the best athletes ever — not just from Chautauqua County or
Western New York, but ever. Just some of the names on Roselle’s highlight reel include Baseball Hall of Famers Dick Williams and Robin Roberts, boxers Muhammad Ali, Rocky Marciano and Rocky Graziano, Super Bowl champion Justin Tuck, four-time Olympic wrestling champion Bruce Baumgartner and all-time great pro golfer Sam Snead. Just for good measure, he has plenty of stories about NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and has also had conversations with former U.S. President Bill Clinton when Clinton was just a young Arkansas governor. In the world of sports radio, it doesn’t get much better than Roselle. And now, his name will forever be etched in Chautauqua County history in the CSHOF. Ramsay Riddell was a amateur ski jumping champion in Canada before he ever set foot in Chautauqua County. But even though his move to Panama came after his athletic achievements were already in the rearview mirror, Riddell did plenty during his time here to cement his place in the CSHOF. For it was Riddell who was instrumental in the organization of the Peek’n Peak Ski Center back in 1962. He served on the board of directors for many years. He founded the Peek’n Peak Ski Patrol and was the Patrol Director until 1989. Many still in the business consider Riddell a key man in building up Peek’n Peak’s reputation for its great relationship between customers and the CONTINUED ON PG 28

THE BEST OF THE BEST, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 27 ski patrol. Just for good measure, Riddell also assisted with the organization of the first Midget Football team in the area and played hockey on a local Jamestown team. Yes, Riddell surely earned his spot in the CSHOF. Vincent Powers was born in Westfield way back in 1891 and made his mark on the sport of horse racing. When Powers was just 15 years old, he rode to a win at Churchill Downs for $500. That was just a prelude of things to come as Powers went on to win an astounding 324 races the following year. He added another 204 second-place finishes and 185 thirds. In fact, before he was old enough to attend his junior prom, Powers was the leading jockey in the United States. The highlight of his illustrious career came in 1909 when Powers rode Wintergreen to victory at the 35th Kentucky Derby. Powers moved on to steeplechase racing and quickly became the leading jockey in the nation in that area of racing as well. In 1922, Powers showed his true knowledge of the sport by becoming a successful trainer, which he continued until his retirement in 1946. The great jockey and trainer passed away at the age of 75 in 1966. Powers was presented by CSHOF president Randy Anderson. Scrubby Olson was everything that modern sports journalists should strive to be. Former Post-Journal sports editor Frank Hyde described Olson as a “stickler for details” and as “an out-
spoken, honest reporter who wrote it as he saw it. No man in this profession can do more.” On Friday, Sept. 14, 1973, Olson covered Jamestown High School’s 22-0 win at Dunkirk. Early Saturday morning, the great sportswriter passed away unexpectedly at the age of 48. Months after his passing, The Post-Journal established the Scrubby Olson Memorial Trophy, an award presented to the area basketball scoring champion. Fittingly, Olson was presented by The PostJournal’s own current great sports writer, Scott Kindberg. The name Jack Keeney is, and always will be, synonymous with Panama sports. Keeney not only served as a physical education teacher for 34 years, was Panama’s head football coach for 33 years, and was the school’s athletic director for 30 years, but he had incredible success while doing so. During his stretch on the sidelines, Keeney’s teams posted a record of 154-106-10, won four division titles and had four unbeaten seasons. Of course, football is just what he’s best known for in the sports world. He also coached track and field, basketball, volleyball and swimming at various times during his tenure. As a fitting tribute to the man that meant so much to the school, students and community, Panama aptly named the athletic complex the Jack Keeney Community Field in 1998. Now Keeney will join the best the area has ever had to offer in the CSHOF.
Keeping with something of a coaching-themed class, Falconer’s own Bill Davenport was presented by Jim Vincent. Davenport is best known for his exploits in wrestling, but he was also a standout football and youth baseball coach. But in his 19 years as Falconer’s wrestling coach, Davenport really made his mark with a hard-to-even-fathom 229-17-1 record, eight league titles, seven second-place finishes and three undefeated seasons (1980, 1983, 1990). As far as individuals go, Davenport groomed 16 Section VI champions, 50 place winners and seven New York State place winners. “I’m a team guy,” Davenport noted when asked if he takes more pride in the teams or individuals he coached. “Even wrestling, which is an individual team sport, we always geared our season for the team success. When our dual meet season was over, we let the individuals take over. We were sort of like Maple Grove this year. They let the kids go where they wanted to earn a spot in states. Over the years, I moved kids around a lot.” In addition to his coaching success, one of Davenport’s shining achievements is his involvement in the formation of Kids Wrestling in Falconer. The program included wrestling camps, tournaments, clinics and officiating. “When I first got to Falconer, there was no kids wrestling program,” Davenport explained. “USA Wrestling would have a couple of tournaments in

Buffalo so I started an after-school program. It wasn’t long — maybe three weeks after the season. Then I think it was Sherman actually started a kids wrestling program and some of the parents of my younger guys came to tell me how great the kids were that were able to wrestle all year. “But the kids don’t keep coming back unless you make it fun,” he continued. “That’s one of the things we talked about. We want to push them, but we want it to be fun or we’re going to lose them.” For a man that has coached across a variety of sports at the highest of high school levels, Davenport had a tough time coming up with a favorite memory. But he may have finally settled on one that stands out above the rest. “There’s a few,” Davenport admitted. “Of course, knocking off Salamanca when they were ranked No. 1 in the state in our dual meet, that was a huge win for us. We had to beat a No. 1-ranked kid in Section VI to win the match. That was big. And that same match I had a kid, and no one would remember his name except the kids on our team, he was a kid that just didn’t know how to quit. He just kept going. He was losing by about seven or eight points in the third period and pulled out a win. And that was the difference in the match.” That was just one of the big wins during Davenport’s career. Add it all up and you have a Hall of Famer. Perhaps the best speech of the night came from former NFLer Chuck Crist. On more than one occasion during his five minutes at the podium, Crist had the room in stiches. Of course, it wasn’t his wit that got him inducted into the CSHOF, it - was his perhaps unparalleled athletic ability. This is a man that was recruited to play football at Penn State by legendary coach Joe Paterno. When Paterno wanted to make Crist a cornerback instead of a quarterback, Crist decided he’d rather just play college basketball. Yes, he was

Groups of Chautauqua Lake secondary school students make monthly trips to the Mayville Food Pantry to help unload the supply truck and stock the pantry shelves. Together they have handled tons of food annually for many years. Victoria McKane, Matt Raynor, Dakota Barrows, Tiffany Lutgen, Emily Green and Jordyn Majka take turns helping each month. Other regular helpers, who fi ll in when needed, are John Turner, Joey Ludovicy, Collin Sargent, Dakota Mellors and Robert Ranney. Teacher Jim Tennies coordinates the work crews. In February, members of the renowned girls’ basketball team took a turn. Tennies reports that Kaitlyn Paulus begged him to allow the team to provide this valuable community service. In addition, at a “donation station” at the elementary school spring concerts on June 11, the Elementary Building Team will invite gifts of non-perishable food for the pantry. This is part of a new initiative to involve elementary school
students, staff and parents in school-wide community service efforts, reports principal Ella Ames. The Mayville Food Pantry is located behind St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, 99 S. Erie St. It is open to those in need from 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Those who need assistance may go to the Pantry during those hours or, for emergency supplies or more information, call the church office, 753-2172.

Devils Lose Lead, Fall To Brockport
Contributed Article FSU Sports Information Dept.
Brockport scored the last three goals Saturday to claim a 4-3 SUNYAC men's hockey victory over Fredonia at the Steele Hall Ice Arena. The comeback by the Golden Eagles, who are bound for the SUNYAC Tournament, ruined the natural hattrick by Fredonia senior Stephen Castriota (Bellport, N.Y.). He scored twice in the first period and once more in the second as the Blue Devils built leads of 2-0 and 3-1. Troy Polino scored a power-play goal for Brockport in the midst of Catriota's outburst. Chase Nieuwendyk added a pair of power-play goals to pull the Golden Eagles even before Jake Taylor
tallied the game-winner with 5:15 left in the third period. Jared Lockhurst made 24 saves in the Brockport net while Jeff Flagler (Owen Sound, Ont.) made 42 stops for Fredonia. While the Golden Eagles improved to 12-11-2 overall and 6-8-2 in the SUNYAC, the Blue Devils finished their season at 4-16-5 overall and 0-13-3 in the conference. In addition to Castriota, four other Blue Devils were appearing in their final collegiate game. The others were seniors Brian Doust (Calgary, Alberta), Cory Melkert (North Bay, Ont.), and Jared Wynia (Calgary, Alberta), as well as sophomore Darrin Trebes (Williamsville, N.Y.), who has earned enough college credits to graduate in May.

Hess Sets Men's Indoor 3,000 Record Contributed Article FSU Sports Information Dept.
Fredonia senior Zakk Hess (Newark, N.Y. / North Rose - Wolcott) set a school indoor record in the 3,000 meter run Saturday while competing at Cornell. Hess rounded the Barton Hall oval in 8:30.03 to take down Kevin Rumsey's 1983 record of 8:30.24. In addition to Rumsey, Hess overtook six other runners on the all-time list. He came into the meet at No. 8 with a previous personal-best of 8:40.87 last December. The new school record time took place at the Marc Deneault Invitational, a 30-team event. Meet highlights on the women's side included: A clearance of 11' 3.75" in the pole vault by freshman Julia Schreier (Lockport, N.Y. / Starpoint). It was a personal-best for Schreier and put her at No. 2 on the Fredonia women's indoor all-time pole vault list. Atop the list is Schreier's teammate, freshman Kristen Sawyer (Lockport, N.Y. / Lockport), at 11' 4.24" from earlier this season.

In sports that play twice during the regular season (softball, men's hockey and men's and women's basketball), each game will be worth one point, and ties will be worth a point. In the sports of cross country, swimming & diving, indoor track & field and outdoor track & field, the team that finishes higher at the SUNYAC Championship meet will earn two points for its school.

SABRES OFFENSE BREAKS OUT, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 26 Zemgus Girgensons had a goal and an assist before leaving with a leg injury and Nolan's Sabres, with the worst record in the NHL, found a rare burst of offense to beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 4-2 on Tuesday night. ''Every time we win, there's a reason and an excuse why we win,'' Nolan said when asked if his team had taken advantage of two mistakes by rookie Columbus goalie Anton Forsberg. ''There's excuses when we lose, too. So, they say, `Hey, they've got a weak goalie.' And that's how we won. But a win's a win and we'll be happy with it.'' Cody Hodgson, Mark Pysyk and Chris Stewart also scored for the offensestarved Sabres, who had gotten just one goal in five of their previous six games. They hadn't had as many as four goals in their last 13 games. Michal Neuvirth had 45 saves, stymieing the Blue Jackets on their fi nal 28 shots. The Sabres had lost six of seven (1-4-2). The league's least productive team, they entered Tuesday with 110 goals - 20 fewer than Carolina, which is 29th in scoring. But they made the Blue

Jackets pay for Forsberg's two misplays in the opening period and then kept going. Hodgson carried the puck up left wing and lobbed a soft backhander at Forsberg midway through the opening period. But Forsberg, his catching glove held up long before the shot, somehow fumbled the puck and let it slip out of his glove and between his legs. Late in a Columbus power play, the Sabres scored again.
The Blue Jackets' James Wisniewski touched the puck in the offensive zone with a high stick, the puck popping to center ice. Wisniewski's defensive partner, Cody Goloubef, got caught pinching in, allowing Girgensons to swoop in, take the puck and skate in on Forsberg. The goalie came out to cut down the angle, then fell as he scrambled back to the net, giving Girgensons an unobstructed shot for the short-handed goal.
''The two goals took some of the wind out of our sails,'' said Columbus coach Todd Richards. ''It's a team game. The goaltender isn't always perfect. There's games when pucks get behind him and as a group in front of him, we've got to do a better job of picking him up.'' Forsberg remained winless in the NHL (0-4-0) while making 27 saves. Meanwhile, Neuvirth, who came in with a 4-16-3 record, was terrific all night. ''We got a couple of bounces in our favor,'' he said. ''It was a different feeling. (I am) defi nitely not used to protecting a lead.'' After Matt Calvert scored off a nifty feed from Brandon Dubinsky early in the second period to cut the lead to 2-1, the Sabres came right back on Pysyk's second goal just 42 seconds later. ''I came up a little bit late,'' the rookie defenseman said. ''I made sure (center Brian Flynn) heard me; I was yelling pretty loud. And I just tried to get it on net and it went in off a defenseman.'' Columbus never got closer than two goals again. The Sabres lost Girgensons and his right wing on the
top line, Tyler Ennis, also with a lower-body injury. Girgensons blocked a hard shot by Wisniewski and had to be helped off the ice and into the dressing room. He did not return. Nolan said both forwards would be evaluated on Wednesday. ''(Girgensons has) been a big part of our team all year. It was tough to see him go down,'' said Hodgson. ''And then also with Tyler. Those are two big components of our team. We were fortunate to get the win tonight and hopefully they'll be OK tomorrow.'' NOTES: Buffalo LW Nicolas Deslauriers played despite an illness. ... Dubinsky also played for Columbus after missing the morning skate with an illness. ... Sabres rookie D Nikita Zadorov was a healthy scratch for the second straight game after he said he overslept and missed a team meeting. ...

Packers Release Veteran Linebacker Hawk By Genaro C. Armas AP Sports Writer
Linebacker A.J. Hawk had a hunch after Green Bay's season ended that he might be looking for a new team. So he wasn't surprised after the Packers released him Wednesday following nine years with the only club he has played with in the NFL. Hawk is not bitter, either. ''I wasn't taken by surprise. I kind of had a feeling it might happen,'' Hawk said on a podcast he released Wednesday after the team made the move. ''The Packers actually let me know. ... They've stayed awesome throughout this whole process, been super classy.'' Hawk, a respected locker room presence, leaves Green Bay with 1,118 tackles, tops in the franchise since 1975. He appeared in 142 out of a 144 possible regular-season games with 136 starts since being drafted in the first round in 2006 out of Ohio State. But Hawk lost playing time in the second half of this past season as Green Bay tried to shore
up its run defense. Green Bay has also released veteran inside linebacker Brad Jones this offseason. The Packers' defense improved after giving outside linebacker Clay Matthews more snaps in the middle and alongside Sam Barrington. ''A.J. is a consummate Packer and we are grateful for all that he has given and how he represented the organization over the past nine seasons,'' general manager Ted Thompson said in a statement. He called Hawk a ''durable and consistent contributor'' to the team's success. Hawk agreed to a pay cut two years ago after the Packers restructured his deal. He was scheduled to be paid $3.6 million in 2015 with an $800,000 roster bonus in 2015. ''I have no bitterness or animosity toward anyone,'' Hawk said. The move might make inside linebacker even more of a priority in this year's draft. Coach Mike McCarthy said last month that he still viewed Matthews as an outside linebacker. Green Bay Packers inside linebacker A.J. Hawk (50) Hawk said he was looking forward to his next defends against the Dallas Cowboys during the opportunity in the NFL, but would cherish his second half of an NFL divisional playoff football game Sunday, Jan. 11, 2015, in Green Bay, Wis.
