First day of school

By Katy Wise Contributing Writer

Well, friends, today marks the beginning of a new era for our household. Our eldest son, Joshua, started school. For the first time in months, I am sitting in the house writing in complete and total silence, without the slightest chance of somebody waking up early from nap time. This is because the ‘two and under crew,’ as I like to call them, enjoy sleeping significantly more than their four year old brother. There is this side of me that is somewhat rejoicing in this newfound silence, and then there is the side that is tempted to cry because he’s growing up. Everyone tells you it goes by fast, and to every comment you just nod your head in agreement, because you know there is obviously some amount of truth to it. What you never fully realize is just how much truth there is. I remember just like it was yesterday, the moment that I found out I was pregnant for the first time. I should say the moment that my husband found out, actually. I left him to monitor the test while I walked away to let our dog outside, and then returned to him with a humongous telltale smile on his face, and just a hint of guilt that he had seen the results before I did. Now to be clear, we were not trying to have a baby at the time. We had only been

married for nine months, and we had this funny plan about how we were going to wait five years before having kids. Regardless of the ‘convenience factor’ of finding out I was pregnant at the time, we both chose to be thrilled. Fast-forward five-and-a-half years from that day, and I am now a stay at home mother of three, sharing my life and experiences through newspaper articles. Wondering what it is that this little boy is doing at pre-K while I’m sitting here thinking about him. Fast-forward just a little bit further to 2:30 pm, pick-

either of us crying. I somehow managed to entertain Andrew all morning without the help of his big brother and partner in crime, and to rearrange nap schedules in order to pick up Joshua on time. This was the beginning of our new normal. I got all three kids back in the house, changed diapers and little shoes, filled sippy cups, fed a baby, and made a mental note to unpack his lunchbox and check his take home folder, all the while wondering if every day was going to be like this for the rest of my life. I reassured myself with the very thing I was scared of earlier. They will eventually grow up. This sippy cup phase will go by quickly. Soon I will be trading in these diapers for backpacks, and the lunchboxes that I will need to pack each night. None of ing up this little guy from this is permanent. school. It was a bit refreshThe same things that are ing to find out that he was overwhelming to a young still resting from nap time. mother are all part of the This means he didn’t completely grow up while he and days that we never want to see end. Mommy were separated. So just like we made the We drive home, and I am choice to be excited with silently thinking to myself, what life came our way five ‘We did it!

Our pictures were mostly successful, and we I gave myself this little pep dropped off Joshua without talk, and then it was time

to follow up on that mental note that I had taken earlier. Unpack the lunchbox, check, pull out the take home folder, and there were some crafts he had done that day, along with a permission slip. Then it hit me, there were crafts he had done that day without his mommy. Our special craft times in the morning while Andrew was busy playing and Ellie was sleeping had suddenly come to an end, or at least a pause. And I cried. I thought I had successfully made it through the first day, but I guess that was far from the truth. Realizing then, that my thoughts about changing diapers and time going quickly had come full circle, at least in the craft department. Here it was already the end of something that I probably hadn’t stopped moving long enough to enjoy. So to all my fellow parents out there, time may go quickly but you don’t have to. You can’t make time go slower, but you can certainly slow yourself down. If life is moving too fast for you, like it was for me, with school starting, and little ones potty training, train yourself to slow down and actually take in what is going on around you. Time might move quickly, but I promise that there is time to breathe, even if toddlers can easily make you forget that. As always thanks for reading, and happy first day of school from HBK!

Restoration of Historic Fountain in Westfield Underway

Contributed Article CCHS

For many years a number of individuals in the Westfield area have wanted to restore the fountain to Moore Park and now it’s finally happening! A fountain in front of the McClurg Mansion, which sits in the center of the park, was first created in the early 1820s, making it one of the earliest jet fountains in all of Western New York. James McClurg, early pioneer of Westfield, moved into his home in 1820. William Moore, McClurg’s grandson, stated in 1916, “He took much pride in this home, sending away for rare trees and shrubs, which he trimmed into ornamental shapes to adorn the grounds, and conveying water in pipes from springs half a mile distant to operate a large fountain in which gold fish were kept on the grounds.” A reference to the fountain was recently found in a deed dated Feb. 13, 1855: “… transfers to the Trustees of Westfield Village from McClurg a right of way for the purpose of digging up the earth and laying down pipe and constructing a closed water course for conducting water from the spring (Spring Street), on the lands of the said James McClurg to the reservoir near the springs and thence to the reservoir and fountain on the common in the village of Westfield where the same are now located (on the corner of Main and South Portage). …The said McClurg, reserving to himself all the surplus water over and above that quantity and also the privilege of taking out water from a point near the house to and for the use of his dwelling and for a small jett in his front yard.” At some point after McClurg’s death in 1872, the fountain was turned off by the Village (who then controlled the reservoir). The earliest photo of the McClurg Mansion (taken during the mid-1870s) shows the base of the fountain with a flower urn sitting on top of it and the pond has been filled in with dirt. Since the 1950s, this space has been the round geranium garden. It is believed that the metal base was removed during the World War II scrape metal drive. The effort to bring back the fountain first began in 1989, when Eleanor Warner, a former school teacher/historian in Chautauqua County, gave a fountain to the Chautauqua County Historical Society (CCHS) to be placed in front of the Mansion. It is molded cast zinc, created by the Joseph W. Fiske Co. of New York City, c.1868. This fountain has been restored by Casey Huber, as part of his Eagle Scout Community Service Project. The Moore Park Fountain project is a joint effort of individuals, businesses, community groups and public entities. • The lead agency is the Chautauqua County Historical Society. The antique cast zinc fountain, electric (for security lights and cameras) and water will be provided by CCHS. • Bricks, which will surround the water basin, are being provided by the Village of Westfield and are left over from the Lincoln –Bedell Park project. • Westfield Nursery will be donating and planting the shrub rose garden surrounding the fountain pond. No monies from either the Village of Westfield or CCHS will be used. The concept is to bring the community together to improve Moore Park, the center of the Village of Westfield, similar to the highly successful 19992000 Lincoln-Bedell park project. The following contributions have already been received: Memorials - Susie Huber Memorial Fund, Ferris Woleben Memorial Fund, James O’Brien Memorial Fund;

Despite the outpouring of support, the Moore Park Fountain Project is still in need of more funding. “We are only two thirds of the way and the contractor is scheduled to start the first week of September. Please let us add your name to the above list with your friends and businesses,” explained CCHS Trustee and McClurg Museum curator John Paul Wolfe. “Moore Park is the center and heart of Westfield! Help make it the beautiful space it can be!” Any individuals, community groups, organizations, and local businesses are being asked to participate in the fundraising. Contributions (tax deductible) can be mailed to Chautauqua County Historical Society, Box 7, Westfield, NY 14787, or online with a Credit Card of PayPal at www.mcclurgmuseum.org.

The Weekly Word

COVENANT BENEFITS high because he hath known My Name. He shall call upon Me and I will answer him, I will be with him in trouble, I WILL DELIVER HIM AND HONOR HIM. With long life I will satisfy him and show him My salvation." We all would agree that there is a truth to the fact that God should receive honor from men. But did you notice in these verses that God wants to honor us? The Creator of all the heavens wants to honor us. However, this benefit does not happen automatically. These benefits that are mentioned in these verses are conditional. Conditional upon what? Upon setting our love and desires on pleasing God. When you choose to set your love upon God you are entering into a covenant

relationship with Him. Like a marriage, you vow to honor Him and cherish Him in life by the decisions you make. The Bible even compares our relationship with the Lord to a marriage. (Ephesians 5:25) There are benefits to being in this kind of relationship with God. Psalm 103:2-3 says, "Bless the Lord O my soul and forget not all His BENEFITS: Who forgives all your iniquities (sins), Who heals all your diseases." If we are not careful we will forget the benefits of knowing the Lord. The benefits are clearly marked. This forgiveness of sin includes a complete spiritual rinsing of all shame and guilt caused by disobedience. The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 5:17, "Therefore if any man (women included) be in

Christ he is a NEW creature; OLD THINGS HAVE PASSED AWAY; behold all things have become new." When we decide to enter into that RELATIONSHIP with Christ, He makes us new. As far as God is concerned we no longer have a past. How would you feel if your past was erased and you had a new beginning in life? That is something that excites me. I made quite a few bad choices in my past but God has separated all that from me. (Psalm 103:12) The benefits did not stop there. They continue. Psalm 103:3 says that God "heals ALL your diseases." For ages church people have tried to say that our disease is sin itself and that God is only interested in our spiritual na-

ture. God already dealt with our spiritual nature in the first half of that verse when he forgave our sins. Now he wants to heal our natural body. Some people say that God doesn't heal anymore. If that's true then He doesn't forgive anymore because these benefits are mentioned together. Notice it says benefits. That's plural meaning there is more than just one benefit. Praise the Lord; He still does both the forgiving and the healing. God has more than just a loving desire to see us walk in the promises He has provided; He has a covenant obligation to perform His Word in our lives when we actively love Him and believe on Him.

RED, WHITE & BLUES, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Fredonia Farmer’s Market, in addition to craft and wine vendors, throughout the downtown area. Throughout the day on Saturday live music will be featured at various downtown Fredonia bars and restaurants starting at 1pm. There will be live music every hour at a different downtown bar. And on the main stage this year, performing on the gazebo in Barker Commons on Saturday afternoon at 3 p.m., Tinsley Ellis. Legendary Blues Guitarist with roots in southern soul music Tinsley Ellis wears his Southern roots proudly. Born in Atlanta in 1957, he grew up in southern Florida and first played guitar at age eight. He found the blues through the back door of British Invasion bands like The Yardbirds, The Animals, Cream, and The Rolling Stones. He especially loved the Kings — Freddie, B.B. and Albert. His love for the blues solidified when he was 14. At

a B.B. King performance, Tinsley sat mesmerized in the front row. When B.B. broke a string on Lucille, he changed it without missing a beat, and handed the broken string to Ellis. Tinsley’s fate was sealed; he had to become a blues guitarist. And yes, he still has that string. Averaging over 150 live shows a year, Ellis has played in all 50 states, as well as Canada, Europe, Australia and South America. Whether he’s out with his own band or sharing stages with major artists like Buddy Guy, The Allman Brothers, Gov’t Mule or Widespread Panic, he always digs deep and plays, as Guitar Player says, “…as if his life depended on it.” Tinsley has shared the stage with Stevie Ray Vaughan, B.B. King, Derek Trucks, Buddy Guy, The Allman Brothers, Gov’t Mule, Widespread Panic, Bob Margolin, Cedric Burnside, Koko Taylor, Willie Dixon and Albert Collins. All events will be held rain or shine and are free to the public. More information can be

FREDONIA SCULPTURE, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 13 in Dunkirk. Space is limited for the Incubator luncheon, so please RSVP by Sept. 4 to 716-680-6009. The luncheon and all other programs are free and open to the public The Marion Art Gallery’s exhibition reception at 7 p.m. on Sept.11 provides another opportunity to visit with the artist. Visitors to the exhibition can explore five major Paley projects that span 10 years: “Tribute to Volunteerism,” 2004, Lake Mirror Park, Lakeland, Florida; “Evanesce,” 2009, Monterrey, Mexico; “Makalii,” 2012, University of Hawaii at Hilo; “Regeneration,” 2013, Cedar Rapids Public Library, Iowa; and “Progression.” An eight-and-a-half foot stainless steel sculpture titled “Portal” can be viewed on the upper plaza of Rockefeller Arts Center on the Fredonia campus. It is on loan through fall 2016. “Progression” is one of 13 monumental sculptures Paley created over a period of only two years for Manhattan’s 2013 Sculpture on Park Avenue program. The combined weight of the sculptures was more

than 100 tons and locations spanned three-quarters of a mile, from 52nd to 67th Streets. Paley uses a planar format and densely woven organic shapes to create a sense of movement in “Progression.” He is widely recognized for his ability to transform steel into a supple gestural movement and, in his words, “humanizing the materials via the emotional content.” Paley began his career as a goldsmith. In 1974, he was propelled to the national spotlight after creating a forged gate for the Smithsonian’s Renwick Gallery. Paley has since become internationally recognized after more than 50 site-specific works, two PBS documentaries, 20 major publications and inclusion in permanent collections of major museums across the United States and Europe. Funding for the installation of “Progression,” the exhibition and the related programs is provided by the Fredonia College Foundation’s Cathy and Jesse Marion Endowment Fund and Williams Visiting Professorship Endowment, the Student Association’s Art Forum Club,

“Progression,” a 16-ton sculpture by Albert Paley, will be installed at Fredonia on Sept. 9 as part of an exhibition of the Rochester-based artist’s work. The sculpture, which is nine-and-a-half feet tall and 48 feet long, is on a three-year loan to the campus and will be on display until the fall of 2018.

Whole Grains Increase In Popularity prevents/helps control diabetes and, did you know? Eating an average of 2.5 servings of whole grain foods each day can lower your risk of cardiovascular disease by almost one-quarter! A recent survey was administered by an independent firm SSI (Survey Sampling Internationals) for the Whole Grains Council and reported By Tonja Dodd that since 2005 - the year the USDA recommended to make Contributing Writer half your grains whole was announced -Americans got the There is good news on the message and 87% of Ameriwhole grain front - 2/3 of cans have swapped refined Americans make “half their grains for whole grains.

Again, September is with popcorn and whole-grain whole grain month and a great cereal closely behind. And time to get you and your family believe it or not, Americans on the whole grain train. Why? are choosing these grains not Your waist line will thank you just for health benefits but for and your digestive system will taste - in fact 4 out of 10 choose thank you as will your skin. whole-grains for taste! Once Whole grain consumption also

your palate experiences whole grains you will find refined grains to be flavorless. The USDA and Whole Grains Council suggest you discover new grains as well. Just like eating a variety of vegetables and fruits, it is good to eat a variety of grains because of the broad set of nutrients offered in differing grains. Wheat, barley, oats, rye, rice and wild rice are pretty common, relatively cheap and can provide an array of nutrients in the American diet. However, have you heard of or tried amaranth? millet? quinoa? sorghum? teff? or spelt? Try them! They have magnesium, selenium, iron, protein and other nutrients that we might not usually get in other grains. For instance, quinoa is rare in that it is very close to providing all nutrients needed to survive in one single food and thus has

become a popular grain. It has also been found to provide an antioxidant called quercetin which helps to prevent/control diabetes. Go online and you will find methods for cooking and recipes to include this super grain into your diet. The Whole Grains Council survey also showed that 1 in 5 Americans are cutting back on gluten but, what is the skinny on gluten? Should you really be cutting back/out gluten? Doctors say go gluten free only if you have a diagnosed condition that requires it. Celiac disease and gluten sensitivity are real medical conditions that need to be treated. The prevalence of this disease has increased over the years, affecting 1 - 3% of Americans. There is a test to see if you have a gluten condition- so do get tested if you have concerns. However, subscribing to the

gluten-free diet if you don’t need to and doing it half-heartedly may be more detrimental than good. Many times when gluten is cut out of the diet, important whole-grains are also missing and these grains are needed for your overall health. The real message is to get tested for celiac disease/gluten sensitivity and to eat whole grains. One final point the survey showed was that more and more people are looking for and trusting the whole grain symbol - a symbol placed on packaged foods that signifies whole grain foods. The symbol looks like a postage stamp with a brown border and golden background - it says “100% Whole Grain”, with a picture of a sheaf of grain. Look for it and go enjoy some whole grains!

Community Opiate Overdose Response Training Contribtued Article DHHS

The Chautauqua County Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) is sponsoring a free opioid overdose response (Narcan) training on Monday, September 14 at 4 p.m. at Chautauqua Alcoholism & Substance Abuse Council (CASAC), 501 West Third St., Suites 3 and 4, Sprinchorn Building, in Jamestown. The class is open to the public and will provide training

to community members who wish to learn to respond to an opioid overdose by administering naloxone, also known as Narcan. Narcan is an opioid antagonist which reverses opiate effects of sedation and respiratory depression during an opioid overdose. Narcan can be administered by first responders or friends and family of someone who is experiencing an opiate overdose. The goal of the training is to prevent death and other negative consequences of opioid overdose by training nonmedical responders to recognize a suspected opioid overdose and to take appropriate

action. The learning objectives for participants include: identifying risk factors for overdose, recognizing the signs of an overdose, performing techniques to stimulate someone who appears to have overdosed, correctly performing rescue breathing, and correctly administering naloxone. Upon successful completion of the 90 minute training, each participant will be provided with a certificate and a free naloxone (Narcan) kit. The training is open to the public. Please call CASAC at (716) 664-3608 to register for the training as spots are limited.

THIS GREAT COUNTY 21

Findley Lake

Western New York has so many great places to see and things to do. Each city, village and town has a story, and we’ve set out to tell that story. We’ll go through the county, place by place, for the next few months. Check back every week for the next edition of “This Great County."

Star Special Feature

When area residents think of Findley Lake, the first thing that come to mind is most likely Peek’n Peak resort, and for good reason, since Peek’n Peak has become a favorite summer and winter time destination for both area residents and visitors all over New York, Pennsylvania, Ontario and Ohio. However, there’s more to this quaint little village than just a resort for all seasons. Findley Lake is a community rich in history and full of life, no matter what season we’re in. Alexander Findley According to “Chautauqua County: A History,” written by Helen McMahon and published in 1958, Findley Lake’s first settler was Alexander Findley. Findley came to the United States from Northern Ireland with his family in 1790 and eventually settled in northwestern Pennsylvania. Findley would hunt and fish in the area that is now the town of Mina. He liked the area so much that in 1811, he decided to purchase land next to a small lake, but before he could develop the property, he and his son William would serve in the War of 1812. Four years after buying the property, he built a sawmill there, and the following year he established a permanent home, becoming the first resident in that area of the county. Findley’s Pond and Findley’s Mill Findley received a concession from the Holland Land Company to build mills on the lake in the southwestern part of the county. Because he was the area’s first inhabitant of European decent, the lake was given the name “Findley’s Pond.” He built a dam in the area where the lake drained into French Creek and started his sawmill. Other settlers soon arrived, but Findley seemed to have had nothing but trouble at first with the start-up community (which was initially called “Findley’s Mill”). His first dam flooded people’s land, giving rise to lawsuits. The dam went out and before the new dam could be built, weeds and grasses grew and later decomposed under the water after the second dam was completed. This led to sickness for some area residents and more lawsuits. The Community of Findley Lake Many of the problems during the early years of Findley’s Mill soon resolved themselves, and more settlers began to filter into the area. The first store was kept in 1824, along with the first inn. That same year, the Township of Mina was created after being set off from the Town of Clymer. It included its present area and what is now the Town of Sherman (which was taken off eight years later). It is believed at this time the community was given its current name of “Findley Lake.” Although it was never formally incorporated as a village, Findley Lake continued to attract more people throughout the remainder of the 19th century. Because there wasn’t a major waterway or railway near the community, manufacturing didn’t make its way to the Town of Mina or Findley Lake. Instead, the community and surrounding area depended mostly on agriculture and farming, and it’s said the first Chautauqua

County butter ever sent to New York City was from Findley Lake. A Summer Destination Like many other communities in Chautauqua County, Findley Lake became known as a summer destination during the late 1800s and early 1900s. In response to the influx of summer-time visitors, The Lakeside Assembly was founded by a United Brethren Minister in 1895 and patterned after nearby Chautauqua Institution. The Assembly would put on a variety of theatre productions, including Shakespearean plays. Other cultural programs were also presented there. In 1921, Findley Lake’s year-round population was listed at 500 people, with several stores, a good hotel, a creamery, shops, two churches, a school CONTINUED ON PG 22

(which merged with the Clymer School District in 1942), and even its own newspaper, called Findleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lake Breeze. Dana Horton Findley Lakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most notable resident could be Dana P. Horton, who was born in Gerry in 1837, but for many years resided in Findley Lake. Horton fought in the civil war, and was enlisted as a corporal in Company F, 154th New York Volunteer Infantry, First Brigade, Second Division of the Eleventh Army Corps. It is said he fought in several key battles and even suffered injury on one occasion, but was able to make to the end of the war, and retired as captain of his company. Horton became a State Assemblyman in 1884 and was reelected in 1885 and 1887, representing a large portion of Chautauqua County. In his final years he served as Distributing Clerk of the House of Representatives in 1895 and again in 1896. Horton was reappointed the next term, but was unable to serve due to ill health. He died in 1897. Findley Lake Today Findley Lake is still a resort destination, for both the summer and winter months. In the summer, the lake is a flurry of boating, fishing and water sport activities. The community also has an annual Memorial Day parade and offers weekly entertainment at the Gazebo and a 4th of July boat parade, fireworks and other CONTINUED ON PG 23

festivities. In the fall, the Annual Harvest Festival signals the end of another summer season and rings in the fall foliage season. Area shops open up their doors to visitors and residents alike and offer great deals on all kinds of collectables and gift items. When winter arrives, Findley Lake is usually one of the first communities in New York to know about it. The average snowfall is more than 200 inches per year, making the area a perfect destination for downhill and cross country ski enthusiasts, as well as snowmobilers and ice fisherman. So no matter the season, Findley Lake has something for everyone. This Great County is a special feature of the Chautauqua Star. Originally ran as the ‘Our Town’ feature, historian John Siggins wrote these articles and contributed them to this newspaper, and to the people of Chautauqua County.

NCCYHA HOLDS ITS FIRST ANNUAL STREET HOCKEY TOURNAMENT By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

The First Annual NCCYHA Street Hockey Tournament can be seen as nothing short of a rousing success after the event was held Saturday at Wright Park in Dunkirk. With the basketball courts specially modified to form a pair of hockey rinks, the tournament featured youth hockey players ranging from ages 6-15 over various age groups. For the NCCYHA, the tournament not only served as a fun event for the kids and parents, but it was also the unofficial kickoff to the new season. “We have our big ice hockey tournament every year,” tournament coordinator and NCCYHA board of directors member Brian Madurski explained. “We had some parents talking about a street hockey tournament. I was like, ‘You’re right. Why don’t we do that?’ We talked about having a kickoff like a family picnic before the season starts. What better way to start the season than a street hockey tournament?” The event was scheduled rain or shine, but thankfully the weather couldn’t have been nicer. It stayed just slightly overcast which kept the temperature from being overbearing. “I wasn’t really worried about the weather until I found out that there was a basketball tournament on Sunday,” Madurski said. “If it rained, we could have used Sunday as a rain day. With that basketball tournament, we didn’t have a rain day. Luckily the weather was just perfect.” CONTINUED ON PG 27

So Long, Fred Jackson By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

Monday was a shocking and sad day for many fans of the Buffalo Bills. Longtime running back, team leader and fan favorite Fred Jackson was released as part of the team’s round of cuts to get the roster down to 75 (They have to be cut down to 53 by Saturday, so more cuts to come, for sure). Jackson was/is the oldest running back in the league at 34 years old. He’s been incredibly durable, missing just two games over the last three seasons. He led the team in rushing last CONTINUED ON PG 25

COMMENTARY, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 24 year. He racked up 5,646 rushing yards and 30 rushing touchdowns since coming into the league from NFL Europe and as an undrafted prospect out of Division III Coe College. Honestly, it was a move I’ve been dreading for months. I was just hoping I was going to be wrong and Jackson would make the team It’s a position that the Bills have great depth at (despite some recent injuries). Aside from obvious starter LeSean McCoy, the other running backs on the roster include Bryce Brown, Boobie Dixon and rookie Karlos Williams. The team also has numerous fullbacks including Jerome Felton and John Conner. The cut of Jackson was certainly partly because of salary reasons. No, Jackson’s $2.35 million salary wasn’t going to totally break the bank, but it’s also quite a bit more than the other guys listed (aside from McCoy, of course). Also hurting Jackson’s chances of making the final roster was that of that salary, a mere $100k was guaranteed. I still contend that Jackson would have certainly been worth his salary, but the NFL is a business. These kinds of cuts happen. While Jackson did often serve in the punt return role, his lack of special teams contributions also surely played a role in the release. Listen, 53 roster spots really isn’t that many. A team needs sufficient backups on both offensive and defensive lines, especially. Defensive secondary is another position that eats up a lot of roster spots. So when a running back like Dixon can also help on kick coverage, that adds more value even though there’s no doubt that Jackson is the better running back. I had the honor of meeting and interviewing Fred Jackson back in June when he was in Forestville to present Scott Hazelton with a teaching award. He was an absolute pleasure to talk to and everything you hear about Jackson being a great person is true. His charity work is unparalleled. Buffalo, the city and the football team, is certainly going to miss him. So who else is going to be cut from the Bills’ roster? While I can’t say for sure, I would certainly think that Matt Cassel is on the chopping block now that Tyrod Taylor has been named the starting quarterback. It might be E.J. Manuel, but I think they’ll keep their guy and let the journeyman go look for another opportunity. I also wouldn’t be terribly surprised if wide receiver Marquis Goodwin ends up with his release papers. There is a ton of wide receiver talent on this team and while Goodwin endeared himself to fans with his long jump exploits in the offseason, he has never really lived up to the hype on the football field. Deonte Thompson’s rise combined with Marcus Easley’s special

teams excellence make Goodwin’s roster spot very much in jeopardy. I also don’t know how John Conner possibly makes the roster. Most teams don’t even carry a fullback so it would seem insane that the Bills would carry two. I know Conner was Rex Ryan’s guy in New York, but Felton is pretty clearly the superior player (and has a longer, more lucrative contract that almost assures him a roster spot for this year, at least). Someone from a very deep defensive line will almost surely be playing in another uniform come Week 1, too. There are just too many names and too few snaps. Corbin Bryant, Red Bryant, Alex Carrington, Stefan (great first name, sir) Charles, Jarius Wynn and rookie B.J. Larsen are fighting for the backup spots behind the Fearsome Foursome of Marcell Dareus, Kyle Williams, Mario Williams and Jerry Hughes. There’s just no way all of these talented players can be on that 53-player final roster. I.K. Enemkpali gained notoriety when he punched out Geno Smith while a member of the New York Jets. He was released by the Jets and almost immediately signed by his former head coach Rex Ryan. To me, this reeked of a signa-player-that-has-playbook-information-on-arival-team move and I wouldn’t be shocked at

all if Enemkpali is released in the next round of cuts. Of course, linebacker isn’t exactly the deepest position on the depth chart, so perhaps the punch-throwing, catfished second-year pro actually will be of some use in Buffalo. While I’m on the subject of the Bills, I want to warn people not to get too excited about Taylor “winning” the starting quarterback job. Listen, the guy was a 7th round draft pick. If he had great physical skills, he would have been drafted much earlier. He was a backup for four years. If he made strides while sitting behind Joe Flacco in Baltimore, another team would have traded for him much earlier. And worst of all, it took him this long to outlast Matt Cassel and E.J. Manuel — two guys that are nowhere near starting quarterback worthy. The Bills have a chance to break their long playoff drought, but it will definitely be in spite of their quarterback play, not because of it. You can talk about upside with Taylor all you want, but how many times have we heard that before with various Bills quarterbacks? It seems like the same old story year after year. I know how that story ends, too. Stefan Gestwicki is the sports editor of the Chautauqua Star. Comments on this article or any other can be directed to stefan.gestwicki@star-mediagroup.com.

NCCYHA STREET HOCKEY TOURNAMENT, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 24 With an outdoor event like this, finding a venue and working with local government is a critical, if under appreciated aspect of planning. “(The City of Dunkirk) was great,” Madurski noted. “We looked at some different options. We tried to hold the tournament in a street, but there are difficulties in closing down a street for an entire day. The basketball courts worked great. They cleaned up the whole area. They moved picnic tables. We’re very happy with it.” The event received an outpouring of local support. The ADD Lumber donated the 2x4s used to construct the barricades. Awesome Bouncers & More provided a bounce house that saw constant use by younger kids as well as athletes when they weren’t playing games.

Other sponsors included Lakeside Club, Columbus Club, 1st Ward Falcon Club, Monnies Club, Dog House, Dom Polski, Valley Tire, Big Rick’s One Stop, Paradis Fence & Flag, Charlie’s Curly Fries, P*Dubs, Fadale Enterprises, Home Depot, Sherwin Williams, Service Hardware, Weiss Hardware and G&E Tents. The tournament was open to anyone, not just members of the NCCYHA. “Maybe not everybody can skate, but they like playing hockey in their driveway,” Madurski added. “We can use a tournament like this to introduce them what we have to offer. We had a non-hockey player that played with some of his friends. He had an absolute blast.” By Monday morning, Madurski admitted he was

already thinking about next year’s tournament. “We talked to parents throughout the day about how to change things up and improve the tournament,” he said. “Hopefully we can get more teams and players involved.” NCCYHA has its learn-to-play program beginning Sept. 12. It’s a beginner program that runs Saturdays and Sundays for five weeks. More information on the tournament as well as NCCYHA can be found at www.nccyha.com or by following “NCCYA Steelers - Youth Hockey” on Facebook.

Devils Add Experience Among Newcomers Contributed Article FSU Sports Information Dept.

Fredonia's trip Tuesday night to Houghton opens the Blue Devils' 2015 men's soccer season. It's also the 16th season for head coach P.J. Gondek, who has brought in 16 new players – many of them from other college programs. The roster of 35 players includes two 2014 All SUNYAC players. Senior defender Keith Braun (Elma, N.Y.) was Third Team for Fredonia, while Joey Vuvic (East Aurora, N.Y.) was Second Team at Buffalo State. Vucic scored 10 goals for the Bengals and led the conference with just under five shots per game. Braun will miss the early portion of the season because of an injury sustained over the summer, so the Blue Devils will be looking to replace his minutes and on-the-field leadership. He will share the 2015 captainship with senior defender Mike Biggane (Amherst, N.Y.). They will be joined by two other four-year Blue Devils: forward Vinny Chimento (Akron, N.Y.) and midfielder Paul Reinis (Webster, N.Y.). Midfielder Max Prosser (Fairport, N.Y.) and goalkeeper Sammy Torrelli (Akron, N.Y.) complete the senior class. Biggane and Reinis are possible starters along with six other returning Blue Devils: junior midfielder Ryan Keller (East Aurora, N.Y.), junior midfielder Sammy DeFranks (Grand Island, N.Y.), sophomore midfielder Mohammed Hussein (Buffalo, N.Y.), sophomore defender Hunter Critchlow (Fairport, N.Y.), sophomore defender David Trabold (Fairport, N.Y.), and sophomore

Top reserves from among the returnees will be Prosser, Chimento, sophomore midfielder Josh McIntosh (Williamson, N.Y.), junior midfielder Brian Theuerkauf (Lancaster, N.Y.), junior midfielder Sam Greco (Lockport, N.Y.), sophomore midfielder Dan Griffin (Williamsville, N.Y.), junior midfielder James Ritchie (East Aurora, N.Y.), and sophomore forward-defender Aaron Hayes (Hamburg, N.Y.). Vucic heads the list of newcomers which includes several others who have had at least two years

of college experience. The list includes junior midfielder Mazin Mohamed (Rochester, N.Y.), a JUCO All-American at Monroe Community College; junior midfielder Peter Dawe (Marcoola, Australia), late of Jamestown Community College; junior goalkeeper Austin Santor (Chazy, N.Y.), author of 10 shutouts last season at Herkimer Community College; and a trio of former Medaille College players, junior midfielder Bryan Sibble (Liverpool, N.Y.), junior midfielder-defender Myles Taylor (Williamsville, N.Y.), and and junior forward Parker Healy (East Aurora, N.Y.).

Kotas Training Hard, Fast As WXC Season Nears

Contributed Article FSU Sports Information Dept.

Head cross country coach Tom Wilson sent senior Lauren Kotas (Lancaster, N.Y. / Lancaster) out on a training run during the first week of the team's August preseason. It was a six-mile progressive run, meaning each mile is run at a faster pace than the previous one. "On her way back the progression was getting faster and faster, and Lauren really looked good." Wilson said. "So much so, that she put about 50 meters on her running partner, and they didn't even catch up to her until the tail end of the run." For Kotas, who is coming off a year in which she won the 3,000-meter run during the indoor track and field season, her first cross country training run of the season is an encouraging sign. "She told me afterwards that she felt solid all the way through until the last 400 meters, which is phenomenal for a coach to hear right now" Wilson said. "She's running some really stellar workout times already after only the first day. If she works hard and she wants it, I believe she can be a SUNYAC champion this year and an NCAA qualifier." The Blue Devils open their 2015 season Saturday when they host six other teams at Lake Erie State Park. The women's race is scheduled for 11 a.m. Next to Kotas on that run was one of the top mid-distance runners in NCAA Division III, senior Laura Morrison (Wethersfield, Conn. / Wethersfield), who is competing in cross country for the first time. Morrison qualified for NCAA Division III Indoor Track and Field Championships last March in the 800-meter run, but fell short of qualifying in the same event during the spring outdoor season. Though collegiate distance running is new to Morrison, she stayed close to Kotas on that first run.

ABA Team Hurricane Finds New Home In Dunkirk Contributed Article Chautauqua Hurricane

The former Jamestown Hurricane professional basketball team has found a permanent home in Dunkirk. The new team will be called the Chautauqua Hurricane. The Hurricane will participate in the American Basketball Association. The season tips off November 2015, The move to Dunkirk comes after team owners received letters and emails from the community asking for the team to include all of Chautauqua County. “We are looking for local talent from the Dunkirk, Fredonia and Jamestown area,” owner Tawan Slaughter said. “At the end of the day, it’s about the fans and the community. We did not want to isolate the team to just the Jamestown community, players and fans.” The 2014-15 season included Fredonia State standout Tyrone Clark, who recently landed a job with the Harlem Globetrotters and Jamestown standout Maceo Wafford. The Hurricane organization has met with faculty at the State University of Fredonia to start an internship program with the team. “We are looking for interns from the local colleges who are looking for experience in sales, marketing, coaching, merchandising and more,” Slaughter added. The Hurricane will play a 15-game regular season schedule with potential playoffs.

SPORTS 33 FREDONIA CROSS COUNTRY, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 32 to have up front this year, which we lacked last year," Wilson said. A large part of Morrison's motivation to run cross country her senior year is in training for the upcoming track and field seasons. Missing the qualifying mark for nationals in the 800-meter run during the spring encouraged her to develop the necessary endurance that the best mid-distance runners in the country have. The two runners who finished ahead of her at SUNYAC Championships in the spring in the 800-meter run (Oneonta's Rachel Shine and Cortland's Kailyn Balzano) are both accomplished cross country runners as well. Among the 800-meter runners ranked higher nationally than Morrison in the spring, all but two also run cross country. "The consensus is that you really need that endurance to close in the 800," Wilson said. "(Laura) has all the speed in the world. It's developed there, it's ingrained. I think now it's time for her build that long endurance so that when indoor and outdoor NCAA's come, she has no doubt in her mind that she'll be able to close harder than she did last year and win that ultimate prize." Wilson declined to comment in depth about any of the new additions to the cross country program, citing the difficulty in judging their performances after only one week of training. He did, however, emphasize the work the coaching staff put in during the off-season to make the women's program better. "The game plan was to recruit extremely hard on the women's distance side, which we did," he said. "We brought in all our recruits except two. This recruiting class has a lot of talent; it's one of the more talented classes we've had since 2006."

SUNYAC play kicks off Sept. 25 with Fredonia at home against Geneseo. Other SUNYAC home foes are Brockport (Sept. 26), Buffalo State (Oct. 3), Plattsburgh State (Oct. 16), and Potsdam (Oct. 17). The Blue Devils were 8-8-2 last season, including 4-3-2 at home. One of those ties came in the first round of the SUNYAC Tournament, a scoreless duel with Buffalo State. The visiting Bengals advanced to the next round of the conference tournament on penalty kicks.

IndyCar Is Clearly Too Risky; Time To Shut It Down By Paul Newberry AP National Writer

Justin Wilson. Dan Wheldon. Paul Dana. Dead. Tony Renna. Greg Moore. Scott Brayton. Dead. Alex Zanardi. Sam Schmidt. Davey Hamilton. Maimed for life. Dario Franchitti. Cristiano da Matta. Kenny Brack. Careers cut short. James Hinchcliffe. Mikhail Aleshin. Mike Conway. Lucky to be alive. Enough already. After the latest tragedy in IndyCar - Wilson's death from being struck on the top of the head by a piece of flying debris during a race last weekend at Pocono - it's time to shut down this ridiculously dangerous form of racing. The IndyCar series is already on its last legs, plagued by poor attendance and minuscule television ratings. But forget economics. This is about doing what's right to prevent anyone else from meeting an untimely end. Pray that everyone survives Sunday's season-ending race at Sonoma, then pull the plug. It's already too late to undo the tragedy and mayhem of the last two decades. Going back to 1996, eight drivers, six fans, and one track official have been killed at IndyCar events, either in the current series or its predecessors, the Indy Racing League and CART-Champ Car. One death is too many, but compared to two other major series, Formula One and NASCAR, IndyCar's mortality rate is simply unacceptable. And it goes beyond those who paid the ultimate price. IndyCar has endured scores of serious injuries and life-changing wrecks - again, far more than those other series.

Zanardi had both legs ripped off in a crash. Schmidt is a quadriplegic. Hamilton underwent some two dozen surgeries after his feet were crushed. Franchitti, da Matta and Brack all survived horrific crashes but their IndyCar careers were essentially over. Hinchcliffe hasn't gotten behind the wheel since a wreck nearly took his life while practicing for this year's Indy 500. Aleshin will finally return to the track this week at Sonoma, a year after he was critically injured in the 2014 finale at Fontana. Conway still races but wisely refuses to compete on ovals after a huge crash at Indianapolis. ''When you have a sport where you put on helmets and firesuits, obviously it's not safe,'' said Hamilton, who became a car owner and radio commentator after his devastating wreck at Texas Motor Speedway in 2001. ''The last time I checked, you don't see Tiger Woods putting on a helmet and a firesuit.'' That said, Hamilton isn't calling for the sport to be shut down. He loves IndyCar racing too much to even consider that an option. But it's highly doubtful that IndyCar's supposed leadership, wracked for years by dissension and poor decision-making, can figure things out. Take the current rules package, which gives the cars excessive downforce and strips them of horsepower, leading to three- and four-wide racing at some oval tracks. Hamilton believes this is just another disaster waiting to happen. ''Right now, it's too much of a bravery test,'' he said. ''You just go wide open around the track and it's a matter of who's the bravest and who can get the closest to each other. I don't believe in that kind of racing.'' Clearly, Formula One and NASCAR have come up with packages that are much safer. When Jules Bianchi died in July, nine months after suffering severe head injuries in a wreck at the Japanese Grand Prix, he was the first Formula One fatality since Ayrton Senna in 1994. NASCAR hasn't lost anyone

This is a June 1, 2014, file photo showing Justin Wilson waiting to qualify before the second race of the IndyCar Detroit Grand Prix auto racing doubleheader in Detroit. The IndyCar Series has bounced from one problem to another all season as it scrambles for viewers and new fans. It heads into the season finale this weekend after suffering the worst possible blow: The death of a driver, with Justin Wilson dead at 37 from injuries suffered in a crash. (AP Photo/Bob Brodbeck, File)

since Dale Earnhardt's last-lap wreck in the 2001 Daytona 500, a jarring wake-up call that led to improved protection for the head and neck, concrete walls being cushioned with padding, and a much sturdier race car. Wilson's death sparked calls for IndyCar to add some sort of canopy to protect the cockpit, where the driver's head is exposed to the elements. But is it even possible to reach an acceptable level of safety - especially on the oval circuits, with open-wheel missiles darting around the track at more than 200 mph? At the very least, IndyCar should totally abandon its oval events, which are already an endangered species on the schedule. Just six of 16 races this year were held on the high-speed tracks, and it's very possible the series could have only two or three oval races next year. Not surprisingly, most of the worst wrecks over the last 20 years have occurred on ovals. A road-racing series would surely be safer than what they have now. But what about the most famous race

in the series, the Indianapolis 500, held in May on a 2.5-mile oval? This will sound like heresy to the purists, but the Indy 500 could become an event on the NASCAR Sprint Cup schedule, replacing the Brickyard 400 in late July. True, the racing in the Brickyard has been downright boring, leading to declining attendance and calls for the track to be dropped altogether. But a tedious NASCAR race would be an improvement on the carnage from this past May, when Hinchcliffe was injured and three other Indy cars flipped during practice sessions. Such a move also would require the stock-car series to shift one of its biggest events - the Memorial Day weekend race at Charlotte, on the same day as the 500 - to a different date, a monumental change sure to ruffle the traditionalists even more. Those of us who are big IndyCar fans would get over it, too. It's time to end a sport that has destroyed too many lives.
