e National School Transportation Association and the National Association for Pupil Transportation, in conjunction with area school districts, will be promoting National School Bus Safety Week, which will be observed October 15 through October 19.Approximately 22.5 million of all students in the United States who are in grades kindergarten through twel h grade ride school buses to and from school. In highlighting this year’s safety week theme of “I see the driver and the driver sees me,” local school bus drivers will be working directly with their students on proper crossing and driver hand signals during bus safety week. e scheduling of School Bus Safety Week coincides each year with the shorter days of fall and the observance of Daylight Savings time. As the days get shorter and we eventually move our clocks back one hour, some students at times will be walking to and from their bus stops when it is dark outside.Older students and parents of younger students should assist bus drivers by remembering to dress in re ective or at least highly visible clothing. Parents should also discuss with their children the importance of walking safety and remind students to be responsible by always looking both ways before entering onto a roadway or street.
Students should also be regularly reminded to avoid jaywalking and to always use crosswalks or intersections when crossing from one side of a street to another.National School Bus Safety Week also serves as a friendly reminder to other members of the community who may not necessarily have children in school or be directly connected to any students. All licensed drivers should be alert for students walking in neighborhoods and in designated school zones.Drivers should also know the law as it pertains to passing a school bus when it has its stop arm out and safety lights ashing. Unless the roadway is separated by a physical barrier, tra c in both directions must stop.Local transportation o cials recognize the importance of school bus safety and are happy to help highlight how important it is for the community as a whole.“We want to make sure everybody has an awareness of school bus safety, not only during this special week, but all year through,” said Scott Howard, the executive vice president of Carrier Coach Inc., a local company which leases their service to some area schools. “I think sometimes people take it for granted and it’s something people don’t really think about.” e school buses used to transport students today are more diligently maintained than ever before. eir size makes them safer than most
other vehicles by getting students out of the typical crash zone. School buses are specially constructed to withstand large impacts without compromising the passenger compartment of the vehicle. High padded seatbacks provide excellent protection in case there is an accident.Of course the ultimate safety of students on a bus is dependent upon students obeying bus safety rules. As part of National School Bus Safety Week, parents are asked to review school bus safety rules with their children, most of which can be found on each local school district’s website
under the transportation section or in each student’s school handbook.Some parents also use National School Bus Safety Week as a reminder to show in some way (perhaps a plate of cookies or a gi certi cate) their appreciation to the bus drivers who safely transport their children to and from school every day.By redoubling e orts of the community to keep children safe and to obey the rules surrounding school buses, National School Bus Safety Week serves its purpose both for passengers as well as motorists.

On Oct. 19 and 20 Festivals Fredo-nia, who are noted for their “Ghost Tours,” will host horse-drawn trolley tours every half hour through the historic cemetery, Forest Hill. e tours begin at7 p.m. and run until 10 p.m. e trolleys will load pas-sengers at the Gazebo in Barker Commons Park on West Main St. and return to the same area. Cemeteries are not just a place where those who are dearly departed
rest. ey are art galleries, horticul-tural gardens, history museums and puzzles to be deciphered. ere is no better place to experience this than at Forest Hill on Lambert Avenue.Forest Hill Cemetery, adjacent to Pioneer Cemetery, is in many ways a time capsule of the town’s history. Forest Hill is still an active cemetery where our dearly departed are still placed for nal rest each day, as they have been for almost 200 years. From monuments commemorating our founders’ families, Fredonia’s na-tional heroes, Revolutionary, Union and Confederate soldiers, and artists,
to entrepreneurs and industrialists who also gained wide recognition, each turn in the cemetery’s pathways uncovers stories that should not remain a secret.Take, for example, the Koch family. Otto Koch was a prominent busi-nessman and undertaker originally from the area. In 1906, Mr. Koch acquired the Kendall Re nery Hold-ings in Bradford, Pa., expanding the production of the business consider-ably. Mr. Koch introduced the slogan “Kendall, the 2,000 Mile Oil”, which helped propel Kendall as a leading manufacturer for the automobile oil
industry in the 1920’s and 30’s.A er returning to Fredonia in the early 20’s to nd a location to build a new Kendall Service station, Otto de-termined that the peaceful surround-ings of Forest Hill Cemetery was the ideal setting for his nal resting place, and thus in the 1930’s commissioned the building of his family’s mauso-leum, the largest and most ornate one in Forest Hill.Another founder of the community, Dr. Squire White, is also laid to rest in Forest Hill. He was the rst physi-cian to set up practice in Chautau-qua County and was an uncle to the Cushing Brothers who served bravely in the Civil War. e property now occupied by e White Inn, which was once the exclusive domain of the Indians, came into the hands of Dr. Squire White early in the nineteenth century. In 1811 he erected a frame house on the site, making it the per-manent residence of the White fam-ily. Participants will be able to hear tales of the White Inn’s grisly murder/suicide, and how a former owner who can’t bear to leave. ere are tales to excite, amaze and unnerve even the most enlightened history bu . e tour winds its way through the dark cemetery- through heroes, founding members and some of the most notorious villains. is year join Lt. Colonel Alonzo Cushing, portrayed by our Town Historian Todd Langworthy, as the knowledgeable guide on the tours departing at 7, 8, 9 or 10 p.m., or be

Covering stories for e Chautauqua Star, I’ve had numerous opportunities to speak to local farmers and growers throughout the season. Being a source for good news, our newspaper reports on the assortment of activities related to the area’s bounty. Some of these events include the many farmers’ markets, and the ever-popular summer and harvest festivals.It is, a er all, something we can all appreciate and relate to, i.e., the delicious sensation of taking the rst bite of local corn on the cob or experiencing the taste of the sweetest strawberries on the face of the earth available only in June. But there are also times when we report on the challenges caused by weather and other obstacles faced by the purveyors of agriculture. Last spring’s warmth followed by frost played havoc with crops; adding insult to injury was the summer drought.
Each encounter with farmers and those who work with them has led me to this inevitable conclusion: Farmers are both smart and chic. First smart. • ey live cause and e ect and have a literal understand-ing of “sowing” and “reaping.” • ey adapt to conditions beyond their control with in-novation and ingenuity. • ey are patient and as an added job requirement, they work hard with the faith that the fruits of their labor will be seen another day. • ey have a superior under-standing of the natural world. • ey are above all, practical.Nice platitudes. But none of this is particularly breaking news. is brings me to chic. Among the health-conscious and gourmet-minded, the trend of “farm to table” is here to stay. e taste and nutritional qualities of locally grown food are just two of the bene ts behind this movement that has picked up momentum in recent years. e farm to table movement is de ned as producing food locally and delivering that food to local consumers. It’s a seemingly common sense idea, but one which has lost its way over the years. Farm to table is promoted by some in the agriculture, food service, and restaurant communities and is also associated with organic farming initiatives, sustainable agriculture,
and community-supported agriculture. And local farmers have also been part of educating the public on how it’s all done. At the recent Farm to Table event held at Chautauqua Institution, attendees learned how chefs use “local sourcing” in their culinary creations. During the event, farmers, winemakers and brew masters sit at tables of eight and when their course or product is being served, get up and talk about the practice, be it raising grass-fed beef or cultivating shitake mushrooms.On a recent trip to the Busti Apple Cider Mill and Farm Market, I also learned of its participation in Community Supported Agriculture. Consumers who pay an annual fee receive in return, a weekly box of vegetables throughout the growing season, (mid-May through November). e service is highly valued by consumers whose priority is fresh food, grown organically from a nearby farm.Produce, a er all, doesn’t come from the grocery store! And many of us don’t want it shipped half way across the country or world before we eat it. Farmers markets continue in the winter at Lillian Ney Center Renaissance Center in Jamestown and other locations throughout the county.

Readers of SKI Magazine rated Holiday Valley Resort as the 6th best winter resort in eastern North America. Th is survey was mailed to 40,000 SKI Magazine readers at the conclusion of the 2011-12 season. Th is ranking places Holiday Valley among the top ten resorts in the East for seven of the past ten years.Holiday Valley’s top rank-ings include 1st in the East for lift s and 1st for service,
3rd for lodging, 5th for access and après ski, 7th for fam-ily programs, 8th for dining and off hill activities, 10th for weather, 11th for grooming and digital presence, 12th for terrain parks, on-mountain food and character, 13th for overall satisfaction and 14th for snow.Holiday Valley’s President, Dennis Eshbaugh said, “We are so proud of our 6th place ranking because it comes right from the skiers. Th e ranking is exciting coming off of a challenging natural snow
year where people tend to be more critical. We’re espe-cially proud of the #1 rank in service. Service is one of those intangible things; it is very delicate because there are so many points of contact with customers and every contact must be positive. Service is-stressed in our yearly orient-tion meeting and through-out the year, but it is a step beyond everyone’s physical job so to be named number one is a great compliment to all our staff .”Continued on Page 4

Regularly assembling a dairy farm’s trusted advisors – col-lectively known as a Dairy Profi t Team (DPT) – is paying off in big ways in New York. Th e teams that include crop consultants, nutritionists, veterinarians, loan offi cers, Cornell Cooperative Exten-sion educators, herd manag-ers, and family members help farm owners improve effi ciencies, increase milk production, add premium milk income, reduce expenses and cow losses, and stay in farming altogether. Dairy Still in Business in Chautauqua County In Kennedy, NY, Eric Vanstrom expected to be out of farming in 2010, but
Cornell Cooperative Exten-sion of Chautauqua County Educators Ginny Carlberg and Lisa Kempisty convinced him to start a Dairy Profi t Team, and in September 2012 Vanstrom, who milks 76 cows with another 100 heifers and dry cows on 145 acres, had enjoyed quality milk checks for nearly two years. “When my team fi rst met in early 2010, I was spending tons of money on feed, the cows were stressed, and milk production was down. My team identifi ed areas to work on step-by-step. At fi rst, little improvements like building new feed bunks had the big-gest impact,” Vanstrom says. “Th e cows ate more and bet-ter and began making more milk.” Vanstrom says constructing
a new 48-stall barn made a 100 percent diff erence: “cow comfort increased, the rolling herd average increased by 2 lbs. of milk/day/cow, while somatic cell count fell, and we earned a Super Milk Award.” Vanstrom’s DPT that now meets three times a year is brainstorming opportunities more than problem solving. Vanstrom will soon com-plete an 11-acre expansion purchase and is considering buying another milking herd. Internal Growth in Lewis CountyWhen Conway Farms in Turin, NY, started its Dairy Profi t Team in 2009, 180 cows produced an average of 17,000 lbs/cow/year. Today, a herd of 285 averages 26,500 lb/cow, with an enviable
somatic cell count of 100,000-180,000.Father Randy and sons Derek and Jake Conway considered team input about hiring help to handle the milking and concentrating their time on herd health, breeding, and internal growth. Aft er the Team reviewed the pur-chase cost of a new $250,000 milking parlor, the Conways themselves built a swing-16 that handles 100 cows/hour for just $60,000. Improved calf health is the result of the Team-approved purchase of a neighboring farm to relieve overcrowding and support internal herd growth. Milk Gain and More Heifers in Wyoming CountyAt Stony Meadows Farm in the Town of Middlebury,
team-based decision-making led the Wayne and Linda Smith family to enter a fi ve-year agreement for forage production by a neighboring farm. Th e Smiths sold their tillage and harvesting equip-ment, and focused on dairy herd management. Improv-ing bedding practices and barn ventilation keeps milk production steady in spite of weather conditions. Overall, the changes produced an average of 8 lbs. of milk pro-duction/cow/day. In Orangeville, Robert, Doug and Mary Ann Calkins’ Dairy Profi t Teamwork cost-eff ec-tively improved breeding and internal growth programs by matching bull-mother cows to less expensive young sires and reserving more expensive purchased semen for more
frequent heifer-mother cows.NY’s Teams Started in Jeff er-son County New York’s Dairy Profi t Teams were sparked by the participation of dairymen Ron Robbins and Doug Shelmidine and Jeff erson County Agricultural Coor-dinator Jay Matteson in the Northeast Dairy Leadership Initiative. Matteson says, “We picked up on Pennsylvania’s success using advisory teams to grow the dairy industry there and thought it was worth a try, so we applied for and received New York Farm Viability In-stitute funding ($115,000) to start Dairy Profi t Teams here.”

Jamestown Audubon Part of Largest Sustainable Energy Event in the Northeast
Contributed ArticleAudubon Center and Sanctuary
Th e Audubon Center and Sanctuary invites you to join them for the Northeast Sus-tainable Energy Association’s Green Buildings Open House (GBOH) on Saturday, Oct. 13, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Both the Nature Center and the home of Jamestown Audubon President Ruth Lundin and her husband, Paul, will be included in this annual open house that is the biggest sustainable energy event in the northeastern United States.During the 2011 GBOH, nearly 11,000 people toured 500 homes, businesses, and public buildings showcas-ing energy-effi cient design, systems, and products, as well as renewables.Th e Audubon Center, at 1600
Riverside Road, one-quarter mile east of Route 62 between Jamestown and Warren, fea-tures solar panels that provide nearly half of its electricity. Ruth Lundin’s home, at 4307 Nutt Road in the town of Bus-ti, recently received an award from Chautauqua County Executive Greg Edwards for Residential Energy Conserva-tion Initiatives.Of her house, Ms. Lundin said, “We envisioned our home to minimize energy costs, maximize interaction with the natural surround-ings, and develop expertise in the local contractor com-munity to implement green building practices.” With its open fl oor plan and ADA accessible downstairs, this home fosters interac-tion and conversation. It minimizes the footprint of the home while the access to the
outdoors makes it feel much larger. Attention to repurpos-ing materials, energy con-servation, and local sourcing throughout provides the op-portunity for almost everyone to take home an idea for his/her personal use. Th e super-insulated envelope consists of insulated concrete forms (ICFs), strawbale and struc-tural insulated panel (SIP) balloon frame, and mono-lithic SIP roof. Th e main roof is a Living Roof over a rubber (EPDM) membrane. Solar energy is harnessed both for electricity and radiant hot-water heating.

Th e Historical Society of Dunkirk will present a program on the Japanese shipwrecks of Truk (now called Chuuk) Lagoon in the South Pacifi c on Wednes-day, Oct. 24 at 6:30, at the Dunkirk Historical Museum. Th e program is another is a series of programs designed to invite the public to take part in museum activities and is also part of its current membership drive. Truk is part of the Feder-ated States of Micronesia, located 3200 miles southwest of Hawaii.In 1918 the islands and their deep lagoon were acquired from Germany by the Japanese following Germany’s defeat aft er World War II. Th e Japanese began a buildup of arms and base there in the late 30’s and early 40’s in advance of its military inva-sion of the Western Pacifi c. During that time oft en more than 1000 merchant and war ships moored in the lagoon in readiness for further deployment. Five airfi elds supported some 500 aircraft , patrol boats, torpedo boats, subs, tugs, landing craft , gunboats, and mine sweepers, all helping the buildup of the Japanese military stronghold. Truk became a stronghold for the Japanese Imperial Navy. Due to its man made and natural fortifi cations, the
base at Truk was known to Allied forces as “the Gibraltar of the Pacifi c”. On the various islands, the Japanese built fi ve airstrips that held 500 aircraft , and added seaplane bases, a torpedo boat station, submarine repair shops, a communications center and a radar station. Protecting these various facilities were coastal defense guns and mortar emplacements. At anchor in the lagoon were the Imperial Japanese Navy’s battleships, aircraft carriers, cruisers, destroyers, tankers, cargo ships, tugboats, gunboats, minesweepers, landing craft , and submarines. Truk Lagoon became Japan’s main base in the South Pacifi c theatre, the base for Japanese operations against Allied forces in New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. In February of 1944, the US military launched Opera-tion Hailstone, an attack on the Japanese Imperial Navy at Truk that lasted for three days. Over two days they destroyed 60 ships and 275 airplanes, making the lagoon the biggest graveyard of ships in the world. Aft er this attack Truk lost its importance as a base of operations for the Japanese Imperial Navy. In November of 2011, Histor-ical Museum president Diane Andrasik was part of a group of 20 divers who fl ew to Truk, traveling for two days from Buff alo to Newark to Hawaii and then on to Truk. Th e
group lived on the diving live-aboard SS Th orfi n, a 170 foot converted whaling ship based in the lagoon and made repeated dives to several of the ships. Photos of several wrecks of the many merchant ships sunk during the opera-tion some sixty eight years ago will be shown, as well as those of a destroyer and a Japanese “Betty Bomber” airplane. A highlight of the week long stay was a 157 foot dive to the deck of the San Francisco Maru (Japanese for merchant ship), where Japanese Mitsubishi Type 95 “Ha-Go” light tanks were photographed. Th ere are also images of items on decks such as bow guns and cargo cranes, engine telegraphs and items left on decks such as gas masks, bottles, crockery, and more. Cargo holds and other interior ship areas held trucks, bulldoz-ers, bombs and land mines, saki bottles, and bicycle parts, an operating table and radio units, all of which were photographed. Barrels of fuel meant to allow planes to fl y lay in the holds, crushed by the water depth. Th e Dunkirk Historical Mu-seum invites anyone inter-ested in World War II history and shipwrecks to attend. Th e program is free to the public, but donations will be grate-fully accepted.

Dairy . Continued from page 3 Dave and Lisa Magos of Morning Star Farms, Hender-son, were among the Jeff erson County farmers who piloted New York’s Dairy Profi t Teams in 2007. Th e Magos’ cows and crops were spread over 1,400 acres stretching seven miles from the home farm. Team discussions convinced even the banker that a new 110x184 freestall barn and two 28x60 calf barns were needed – a $450,000 investment in the farm’s future.“We wanted to get all our as-sets ‘home.’ We were making do with existing, sub-standard housing, thinking we could not aff ord anything else. Th e team agreed building was the best plan,” Dave says. “We quickly saw payback in the vastly improved condition of the animals. Th e cows are healthier and happier. Th e calves are growing better. Th e decision to build reduced our fuel costs, travel time, and equipment stress over the road, and increased our labor effi ciency and time manage-ment.”Younger Generation Joins Farm Business in Madison County“We started a team to evalu-ate options for dealing with an old milking facility,” says Rick Carrier at ABC Farms in Canastota, Madison County. “I wanted to build or remodel at the home farm. Th e team suggested relocating or leas-
ing, my least favorite choice, but when we looked at the numbers the opportunity showed itself. We leased a building with less capital outlay and less risk, and have grown the herd by 200 cows in four years,” Carrier says.Th e farm is extending its lease, and fi nalizing an LLC that will bring Carrier’s two oldest children into the business as managers.“We were one of the origi-nal Dairy Profi t Teams in Madison County and now ‘Team 2.0’ is looking at more opportunities to improve milk production and profi tability,” Carrier says.Dairy Profi t Teams Spark Field Crop and Vegetable Profi t TeamsTh e success of the Dairy Profi t Teams has led to the NYFVI-funded start-up of Field Crop Profi t Teams in 2012, and Matteson is adapting the profi t team model for a commercial vegetable grower in Jeff erson County.“Successful Dairy Profi t Teams statewide are a model for other farms searching for ways to improve the effi ciency and profi tability of their operations. We hope others will follow suit and aggregate their professional and on-farm resources to support short-term problem solving and long-term opportunity har-vesting for dairy and all types
of agricultural businesses,” said NYFVI Managing Director David Grusenmeyer.Ag Chair Praises Teams and Institute“I couldn’t be happier to see that Dairy Profi t Teams are still helping our state’s farmers face the many challenges this profession presents,” said State Senator Patty Ritchie, Chair of the Senate Agriculture Com-mittee. “I fought to fully restore funding to the Farm Viability Institute two years in a row because I know it supports programs like the Dairy Profi t Teams, which are helping our state’s farmers succeed each and every day,” Ritchie adds. “Agriculture is our state’s economic cornerstone and programs like this help farm-ers boost their bottom line, grow their business, increase their profi ts and contribute to making our entire economy much stronger.”Dairy owners, agricultural professionals and Extension educators interested in starting Dairy Profi t Teams in their area may contact the New York Farm Viability Institute for resources, including how to information for structuring a team and a Dairy Profi t Team Facilitator’s Guide.

Jamestown jazz man Ralph “Razz” Rasmusson will be bringing together a 22 piece big band on Sunday, Oct. 14 for the 92nd anniversary celebration of the American Legion Herman Kent Post in Celeron. The music teacher, saxophone and clarinet player and band leader of “Razz and Friends” has lived and breathed music his entire life and although he doesn’t have the frequent opportunity to put together his big band, when he does the performance is very well-received.Razz and his Big Band were invited back aft er playing at the legion last year for a celebration of the long career of Jamestown’s Radio Person-ality Jim Roselle. Although he calls himself a “niche” player, the event itself turned out to be very successful. “My band was really excited, because the people enjoyed it.” Every school that has a jazz band that plays these numbers - but to see people dancing - you should have seen the smiles on their faces.” When he needs to “build” his big band, Rasmussen says he will take his quintet, Razz and Friends, which consists of a piano player, bass player, drummer and vocalist and
uses them as the “center of the band.” He then adds four trombones, four trumpets and three or four other saxes to re-create the big bands of the 30’s, 40’s and 50’s. “I have a whole library of big band music that Frank Farino (pianist with Razz and Friends) has put together. Th e core of the band is comprised of Jamestown Community College (students) and com-munity members.” Rasmusson taught music at Falconer Central High School for 20 years, and currently serves as a Jamestown Com-munity College Adjunct Mu-sic Teacher. He has also taught private lessons for most of his lengthy career. He is also a member of the Chautauqua County Music Hall of Fame and has played with many popular groups over the years, including the Dixie band, Dixie on the Deck for 20 years at the Italian Fish-erman in Bemus Point. He was also a favorite at many of the clubs in Jamestown, and although his audience may be in the 50 plus age category, he also has young fans and has played at weddings of twenty somethings.And he can mix things up - by putting together a duo, trio, or quartet, adding or subtract-ing band members as he goes. Rasmusson also works with a
musician who plays keyboard with his hands, and bass with his foot. “Sometimes we add another front man- with a horn, trumpet or trombone and sometimes we go as a Dixie band.”Calling himself “blessed,” Razz has a sense of humor to match his musical talents.He jokes about the profession-als pulled from other fi elds to play in his band. “We’ve got all emergencies covered- we’ve got a doctor, a CPA and a purchasing agent (although no lawyer, he adds). “Th ese are all friends of mine because we’ve been playing concerts together and jazz band music for almost 20 years.” He jokes that he and Razz and Friends vocalist Barbara Jean missed their hall of fame induction ceremony because they had “a paying gig that night.”Th e Razz and Friends big band performance will begin with a prime rib dinner buff et from 5 to 7 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 14, followed by ballroom dancing from 7 to 10 p.m. Members and their guests are invited.Razz and Friends can be found at www.razzandfriends.com.

Th ree members presenting their favorite images will be the program at the next Jamestown Audubon Nature Photography Club meet-ing. On Th ursday, Oct. 11, members Julie Nelson, Ashley Whitmore, and Leo McCray will present and talk about some of their favorite pho-tographs and how they were taken. At the 6:30 p.m. meet-ing, they will describe how the shots were approached, techniques used and any post-shot treatment in the digital darkroom. Th ese three members have been shooting for years; all enjoy exploring the great outdoors and have diff erent directions in outdoor photography. Th eir favorite images range from fl owers and macro work to landscape and long tele-photo bird photography.Julie Nelson was given her fi rst camera at age fi ve and has been taking pictures ever since. She was a yearbook photographer at Southwest-ern High School and took every photography class of-fered at Jamestown Commu-
nity College. Now she enjoys learning new photography techniques with the James-town Audubon Photography Club.Ashley Whitmore, Nelson’s daughter, was given a kids camera early on and also caught the photo bug. Decid-ing to get into photography, she received a digital camera as a high school graduation present and progressed with photography classes in col-lege. Currently she sells prints of her nature photos and enjoys occasional wedding photography.Leo McCray’s memories of a camera go back to a Kodak Baby Brownie at the age of fi ve, snapping away at kittens and fl owers. His fascination with photography only grew. Aft er retirement, attending workshops and seminars honed his skills. He fi nds editing and printing his photos make his hobby more exciting. “Fungi” is the theme for the Project Time that follows the speakers, building on last month’s macro and close-up photography presentation. Th is subject requires the pho-
tographer to deal with small subjects and consider how the background is rendered while keeping the subject sharp.Creative Cropping Tips is the technical “Camera Corner” part of the meeting. Th ese are unconventional ideas to get members to think imagina-tively. A social time follows the program and will include a show-off of various styles of members’ tripods. Visitors are asked to pay $5 that can be applied toward the annual membership of $30 if ap-plication is made by the next meeting. Among the benefi ts of membership are discounts on photography classes, spe-cial gift s and giveaways from sponsors, fi eld trips, and the right to show photos at Club exhibits.

Chautauqua Institution Chosen Northeast Regional Finalist in “Prettiest Painted
Places” Competition
Contributed ArticleChautauqua County Visitor’s Bureau
Th e search for the “Prettiest Painted Places in America” is narrowing, with Chautauqua Institution chosen as one of 10 fi nalists from the U.S. Northeast named by the Paint Quality Institute, an informa-tional entity whose mission is to educate the public about quality paints and coatings.Located on 300 acres in rural southwestern New York State, Chautauqua is a National Historic Landmark for its contribution to American culture as well as a National Historic District and recipient of the Heritage Award from the Urban Land Institute. In 2010 Chautauqua received the Silver Award from the International Awards for Liv-able Communities. It has also been honored by the Ameri-
can Institute of Architects for its commitment to historic preservation. Founded in 1874, Chautauqua is best known for its nine-week summer programming mix of fi ne and performing arts, lectures and classes, interfaith worship, and recreational activities.Chautauqua joins nine other fi nalists including: Bristol, Rhode Island; Brookville, Pennsylvania; Cambridge, Ohio; Cape Cod, Massachu-setts; Cape May, New Jersey; Chester, Vermont; Down-town Frederick, Maryland; Owego Historic District, New York; and Wooster, Ohio. Aft er further evaluation, two of these 10 will be named the prettiest painted places in the Northeast, alongside winners from fi ve other regions of the U.S., to make up the 12 pretti-
est painted places in America. A “prettiest painted place” is a special town or neighborhood with exceptional community-wide “curb appeal” due to optically pleasing or creative use of exterior paint color, according to Debbie Zimmer, paint and color expert for the Paint Quality Institute.“One typically thinks of curb appeal defi ned by beautiful color schemes on homes or buildings, and that’s the case most of the time, but exquisite outdoor murals and creative use of paint color on statues, signage, traffi c signals, water towers, and even streets and sidewalks have elevated the appearance of many of today’s prettiest communities,” she said.“Chautauquans go to great lengths to preserve the historic fabric of their homes, while expressing their individuality through interesting shapes, Chautauqua Lace patterns, construction details, and especially through color,” ex-claimed John Shedd, adminis-trator of architecture and land use regulations for Chautau-qua Institution. “All of this attention contributes greatly to the sense of place and community in Chautauqua neighborhoods. It makes our community fun and exciting, while respecting the notable people, events and architecture from our history.”Th e search for America’s prettiest painted places began this spring, when the Paint Quality Institute contacted state departments of tourism, local chambers of commerce, and convention and visi-tors bureaus in all 50 states. Eventually, nearly 200 towns, historic districts, neighbor-hoods and Main Streets were nominated in the competi-tion. Th e Chautauqua County Visitors’ Bureau nominated Chautauqua Institution.Last week, a panel of judges with expertise in color selec-tion, exterior painting, and home improvement reviewed the entries and narrowed the fi eld to 60 fi nalists, 10 from each of six geographic regions. Th e 12 national winners will be named later this month.Th is is the third time the Paint Quality Institute has conduct-ed a search for the prettiest painted places in America. It held the fi rst competition in the 1990s, and another in year 2000.According to Zimmer, the purpose of the competition is to give recognition to places that use paint to express pride in their communities, and highlight how an attractive exterior paint treatment can enhance the curb appeal of virtually any home, building or exterior structure.

Members and guests of the Valley Historical Society met recently in the Sinclairville Free Library for their monthly meeting and program. Guest speaker was Pam Brown, who serves as the historian for the town of Harmony, Panama and the Hurlbut Church. Historian Brown concentrated her talk on the history of Panama only. Th e origin of the name Panama is a legend as she said, and historians want to work with facts. Panama was incorporated in 1861, and in the early years, there were about 80 business places. Th e population of Panama has not changed much over the last two centuries, and the railroad changed much of the village, along with public transportation. During the 1930’s, Panama had a CCC camp located there. Th e vil-lage was fairly self-suffi cient at one time, producing their own power. Using a slide show, historian Brown showed many of the houses which are examples of the
Greek Revival architecture. One of the photographs shown was the Mill Pond, and Mrs. Brown explained how the mills were so important to the area. A round of applause was given to Mrs. Brown for her presentation.President of the Valley Histor-ical Society Albert Olmstead opened the business meeting with the Lord’s Prayer and led all in the Pledge of Allegiance. Secretary Mary Shearman read the minutes of the previ-ous meeting. John Sipos, who serves as the treasurer, gave the fi nancial report, including a detailed report on the recent annual history fair held in the beginning of September. Sipos thanked all for the very successful history fair, and thanked all the many who help make the historical soci-ety operate so smoothly. Marna Terry Wolaver pre-sented her resignation as a trustee as she is moving out of the area. President Olmstead said that at the next meeting in November, nomination of offi cers for the next year will take place. Curators Audrey
Prosser and Bonnie Larkin are currently working on an inventory of the museum, which is located at the corner of Main and Lester Streets in the village of Sinclairville. Th e museum is closed now for the winter months and will reopen for tours in May. Fol-lowing the meeting, refresh-ments were provided by John and Susan Sipos. Th e next meeting of the Val-ley Historical Society will be at the Cassadaga American Legion Hall on Tuesday eve-ning November 6th at 7 p.m. Guest speaker will be Todd Langworthy, historian from the town of Pomfret. Refresh-ments will be provided by Mary Shearman and Mildred Griswold Simpson. Th e Valley Historical Society was formed in 1977 by the late John and Ruth Smith who wanted to preserve the history of the Cassadaga Valley area. One year later the museum was purchased. For more information on the Valley Historical Society, write to P.O. Box 1045, Sinclairville, NY 14782. New members are always welcome.

Th e National Highway Traffi c Safety Administration reports that about 1 million deer-car accidents occur on American roads each year, killing 200 people, injuring almost 10,000 more and causing about $1 billion in vehicle damage. Th e peak time for these collisions comes each fall.Cornell University experts in both animal-human interac-tions and highway safety are available to discuss this dan-gerous annual peak, and how drivers can increase their odds of arriving safe and sound this fall. Th ey include:. Paul Curtis is a professor of Natural Resources and a nationally recognized expert on rural, suburban and urban wildlife. He has coordinated the Wildlife Damage Manage-ment Program for Cornell Cooperative Extension since 1990.Curtis says:“Th e numbers of deer-related vehicle accidents are highest each fall as the peak of deer breeding season approaches. About two-thirds of the deer-car collisions that occur each year in New York happen dur-ing October, November and December.“Motorists should be more alert for deer at this time of year, especially in early morn-ing and around dusk. If a deer-car collision is inevitable, it is better to hit the deer, than to swerve and try to avoid it. People are more likely to be injured if their car leaves the roadway, or they cross lanes into oncoming traffi c.“Deer-vehicle accidents peak in November, as does the rut, or breeding season, which usually peaks during early November in New York. Bucks are chasing does for breeding possibilities, and deer are less attentive to traffi c. With this additional deer movement during breeding season, deer cross highways more frequent-ly, increasing the probability of collisions with cars. In ad-dition, with shorter days this time of year, the normal peak in deer movement near dusk and dawn coincides with rush-hour commuter traffi c. So the likelihood of deer-vehicle ac-cidents increases because there
are more deer and cars on the highway at the same times of the day.”. Lynne Irwin is a professor of Biological and Environmental Engineering and a regis-tered professional engineer whose experience focuses on highway engineering. He is the director of the Cornell Local Roads Program, which provides local highway agen-cies in New York State with technical assistance and train-ing through the Cooperative Extension network.Irwin says:Drivers need to slow down and be vigilant, there is little more they can do. By slow-ing down, they reduce the chances that a vehicle occu-pant will be seriously injured in the event of a deer-vehicle collision. Th e severity of the injury is proportional to the square of the speed, so cutting your driving speed in half reduces the severity of the impact to one-fourth.“Rainy days are a problem due to reduced visibility, poor lighting and lower pavement skid resistance. It is especially important to slow down and be alert in such conditions.
Snowy days are less of a con-cern, because the deer hunker down and don’t move around as much.Th e advice to not swerve the vehicle is important when confronted by a deer. Th e best place to hit a deer is in the fl anks. Th e rib bones in the fl anks are more fl exible, and vehicular damage is mini-mized. Swerving the vehicle can risk roll-over accidents and possibly hit an oncoming vehicle or a roadside ob-ject. Most vehicles today have anti-lock brakes, so slamming on the brakes has fewer con-sequences than what used to be the case. Th e objective is to reduce speed as much as pos-sible before the collision, and still maintain steering control in the vehicle.“In some situations, the deer runs into the car, rather than the other way around. Th ere isn’t much the motorist can do about that. While there may be costly damage to the side of the vehicle, the occu-pants are unlikely to be badly injured in such cases. And oft en the deer lives, a bit sore perhaps, and maybe a little smarter.”

Dear Pastor, since you’re a pastor I gured you could help me. What kind of things can I do to recognize my pas-tor during Pastor Apprecia-tion Month?While it could appear to be self serving to respond to your question it’s an important top-ic to address. e Bible tells us in 1 Tim 5:17, “Let the elders who rule well be counted wor-thy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and doctrine.” Many people have great suggestions on how pastors (or any spiritual lead-
ers) should be acknowledged for the work they do. As a pastor I know there are many able and dedicated pastors who are well deserving of a bit of appreciation as well as anything else that can be done to make their tasks easier. e following suggestions (some practical, some spiritual) are a compilation of ideas that I’ve experienced to be quite help-ful in making a shepherd feel appreciated by their sheep!I’ll begin with the most important way to honor your pastor...pray for them! e
Apostle Paul knew that prayer was not only important but vital for the support of his ministry (1Timothy 2:1-4). ere are many scriptures in God’s Word that can be applied to a pastor’s position. For example, 2 essalonians 1:11-12 prays to ful ll all the goodness of God and work of faith; Ephesians 6:18-20 prays for utterance from God and the boldness to preach the Gospel; and 2 Timothy 3:16-17 that your pastor be equipped from the Word of God to do what they are called to do. Be diligent in
your prayers for them, their families, and God’s destiny for the church. Remember, it is not just the pastor’s job to do the praying…it is our responsibility as the Body of Christ to, “…pray always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints (Ephesians 6:18).” It would also be a nice touch if you sent your pastor a note of appreciation letting them know what scriptures you’re praying for them. As a pastor for many years, I know how
much I appreciate knowing that someone “has my back” spiritually. No pastor can be an e ective leader and ful ll the call from God, no mat-ter how determined or hard working, without the prayer support of their church! Next week…more ways to demonstrate your appreciation!Keeping the Faith

e more time I spend as a pastor, the more I realize how helpless people are apart from the Holy Spirit. e troubles of this life cannot be faced with mere programs and church protocol. Programs and church growth meth-odology cannot do the job the Holy Spirit was meant to do. e Holy Spirit is the power to deliver us from the ordinary; a term that should never describe the life of a Christian. e life of Peter provides the perfect illustration of the Holy Spirit’s ability to radically change our lives. Peter was one of the clos-est disciples of Jesus and his time around Christ was lled
with ups and downs. Peter’s greatest failure is no doubt his denial of Christ on the night Jesus was arrested. Mark 14:71 describes Peter in his struggling state before he was lled with the Holy Spirit. It reads, “But Peter began to curse and to swear, saying, ‘I know not this man (Jesus) of whom you speak.’” e next verse records Peter’s despair: “…and when Peter thought about it he wept.” Peter’s life before his encounter with the Holy Spirit was an existence of insecurity, hopelessness, depression, and struggles to get things right. He was the most average of persons; just like all of us; a perfect candidate for God to display
His power.What made Peter any dif-ferent from Judas? Didn’t they both betray Christ? e di erence is that Peter didn’t let his failure undo the rest of his life. Peter instead listened to the command of the Lord, “…wait in the city of Jerusa-lem until you be endued with POWER FROM ON HIGH.” (Luke 24:49) e Lord knew that failures such as Peter’s are due to lack of power. Unlike Judas, Peter posi-tioned himself, surrounded by other believer’s, to receive power from Heaven. Far too many believers are living in powerlessness because they don’t position themselves to receive. Where has God told
you to be? Let me answer: In the House of God crying out with the people of God for Him to demonstrate His power in our lives; learning His Word from a pastor.Acts 1:8 records the words of Jesus, “But you (Peter was one of the ones being addressed) shall receive POWER a er that the Holy Ghost is come upon you…” Acts 2:4 records Peter’s dramatic transfor-mation: “And they (Peter included) were all FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.” Peter was never to be the same again. Act chapter 2 records his sermon to the thousands
that gathered to witness the display of God’s power. Two months before, Peter could not proclaim Christ to a dozen people around a camp re and now he is preaching to thousands. In Acts chapters 3-5, Peter leads a dramatic healing revival and boldly de-clares the risen Christ before the foremost religious leaders of his day. Peter is no longer the struggling weak disciple; he is now the product of the Holy Spirit. He is bold and strong and making a di er-ence in the lives of many. Which side of Peter’s life do you want to live on?

Chautauqua Star StaffEditor’s Note:The Chautauqua Star recently published a ‘Flavor of the Week’ on Ye Hare’n Hounds, in early September. Some discrepancies were brought to our attention and in an effort to bring a quality product to our readers and advertisers, we have elected to rerun this article with corrections and additions. Ye Hare ‘n Hounds family restaurant in Bemus Point has successfully preserved the tradition of good food with family and friends for the last 25 years.The restaurant started out as a summer home for the Emery family in 1915. They designed it as a replica of an old English Inn. A lot of the original crafting materials like wood and brick was imported from England. To this day the restaurant remains in its original state. Except that there was a side dining room added in the 80’s as a banquet hall for private parties.In the early 20’s the home was sold as a tea-room. They were popular during the prohibi-tion and when the steamers used to be on the lake. The story goes that it was lost in a card game. But, that remains to be verified.Back then there were three
stories to the building. The upper two floors were used as lodging. There was also a frame building with rooms where the parking lot is now. It stopped being an inn in the mid 60’s.Ye Hare ‘n Hounds has been an established restaurant in Chautauqua County since 1921. Jennifer Garrett, the current owner and her hus-band Mike took over in 1988. Even though it is no longer an inn, the tradition of provid-ing guests with great food in a warm atmosphere remains in tact. “Both the name and the feel stuck with us for the last 25 years,” said Garrett.Garrett herself actu-ally worked at the Ye Hare ‘n Hounds in her youth. It was her first job in her teens. “I had no idea then that I’d own it someday,” she said. “I was a registered nurse when we decided to buy. We couldn’t have done it without the help of Mike’s parents George and Joy Garrett.”The dining experience is in-credibly important to Garrett and her staff. Everything is
all made to order and “We do take pride in our work,” she said. “We try not to use any-thing premade or pre-bought or ready made. Plus, all of our desserts are actually home made by me.”According to Garrett the food is different and unique. “No one else has a menu like ours. Everything is unique in its own way,” said Gar-rett. The Seafood Julienne has been on the menu since Garrett worked there in the mid 70’s. It is a casserole dish that features shrimp, scallops and lobster broiled together with mushrooms and a crumb base in herb butter. “It’s been tweaked here and there but it’s been on the menu for about 40 years.” she said.Many of the employees have been working with Garret for many years. For the last 28 years Judy Biancho has been a friend and part of the family at Ye Hare ‘n Hounds. “The seafood julienne is the only thing that’s been here longer than me,” she said. “It’s great that we’re a family here.”The seafood menu has received much praise from the community. One example is the Scallops Calvados, an almond crusted sea scallops served in a roasted acorn squash with a spiced apple brandy cream sauce with wild rice. The filet mignon dishes
as well as the duck and lamb chops are also very popular. “It’s difficult to find those type of dishes around here,” said Garret.If the menu wasn’t massive enough already with appe-tizers, soups, poultry, beef, seafood, lamb, veal and pork a new Bar Bites menu was also added. The new menu is served daily until 10 p.m. at the bar and features deli-cious made to order comfort foods. From soups and salads to flatbreads, appetizers and comfort foods; there is some-thing for everyone.While enjoying one of the many mouth watering menu items customers can enjoy a calm and comforting atmo-sphere. Great for business or pleasure, Ye Hare ‘n Hounds is a great place to stop on the lake. “We want people to feel like they are coming home,” said Garrett.At Ye Hare ‘n Hounds there aren’t any live entertainment or events to distract custom-ers from the food experience. Every customer is treated like they are coming to dinner at
a friend’s or family’s house. Eating is an experience indi-vidualized to each customer’s preference. No matter the season or weather it is always a great time to stop in. “During the winter we light the fire place and you’re warm and cozy enjoying a great meal while the snow is falling outside,” said Garrett.The Garrett family has worked hard to create a place where both the community
and weary travelers can stop by and feel nostalgic for home. The food is made with patience by those who care and take pride in their work. This experience is partly due to the fact that the owners are locals who want to see the place they call home to prosper.“We’re not just here for the summer tourists,” said Gar-rett. “We’re here for the local people. We’re here because it is our livelihood and we want to be here. This has been our home for the last 25 years and we want everyone who comes here to feel welcome.”Open year round, Ye Hare ‘n Hounds is located at 64 Lakeside Drive in Bemus Point. The kitchen is open for dinners from 5 until 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

In a new format for James-town’s Savings Bank Arena, the venue is hosting the city’s fi rst ever Rocktoberfest on Saturday, Oct. 13. Th e show will include two main stages where local bands including headliner Big Leg Emma will perform, as well as Smoke-house, Gina V and the Barn Cats, Pressure Sensitive and Smackdab.Offi cials at the Arena hope the event will bring those who have never visited the facility an incentive to come out.
“Even though we’ve been here for 10 years, there are a lot of people who don’t know about the Arena, or if they know of it, they have never been here,” says JSBA Event Coordina-tor, Matt Hanson. As well as being an opportunity for the venue to shine, Hanson says it is also a good opportunity for the bands to get exposure. “Th ere are be a little bit of everything – that was done intentionally. We wanted to showcase the diversity of musical acts in the area… and to give them exposure in all one place.” “Rotating the stages is some-thing I’ve never seen before
in this area,” Hanson adds.Genres include Big Leg Emma, which is a mix of folk and rock and has been a staple of the Great Blue Heron Festival. Hanson de-scribes Smackdab as jazz and soul; Smokehouse is rock and country, and Pressure Sensi-tive is classic rock. He says Gina V. has “soul, jazz and contemporary rock roots.”Advertising for Rocktoberfest has also been diff erent than for other events hosted at the Arena. Hanson said that this has included lawn signs- with general concert information on one side, and bands listed on the other side. “We’ve got-
ten a really good response in from the community- people have been coming up to the bands and saying how they are seeing the signs every-where.”With food and concessions available on the second fl oor, and merchandise being sold throughout the building, the venue allows attendees to get a glimpse of the entire facility and what it has to off er, says Hanson.All ages are welcome to attend Rocktoberfest and tickets are available at the Arena Box Offi ce, www. jamestownarena.com or by calling 716-484-2624.

Contributed Article1891 Fredonia Opera House
“Th e Words,” starring Bradley Cooper, Jeremy Irons and Dennis Quaid, is the next featured fi lm in the Cinema Series at the 1891 Fredo-nia Opera House. It will be screened on Sat., Oct. 13, at 8 p.m. and Tues., Oct. 16, at 7:30 p.m. “Th e Words” is a fi lm about love, ambition, regret, hope, dreams, failure and choice. It follows young writer Rory Jansen (Cooper), who fi nally achieves long sought-aft er literary success when he pub-lishes the “next great Ameri-can novel.” Th ere’s only one
catch – he didn’t write it. As the past comes back to haunt him and his literary star con-tinues to rise, Jansen is forced to confront the steep price that must be paid for stealing another man’s work and for placing ambition and success above life’s most fundamental three words.Stephen Holden, in the New York Times, calls the fi lm “a clever, entertaining yarn.” Tom Reed, in the Detroit News, calls it “thoughtful and elegant, with just enough loose strings to keep things intriguing.” Chris Vognar, in the Dallas Morning News, says “the movie conjures a mean Faustian bargain and
leaves a classic dramatic question hanging in its air: What would you do if faced with similar circumstances?” Rated PG-13 for brief strong language and smoking, “Th e Words” runs 97 minutes.Th e Opera House Cinema Series is sponsored by Lake Shore Savings Bank. Tickets are available at the door for $7 (adults), $6.50 (seniors & Opera House members) and $5 (students) the night of each screening. A book of ten movie passes is available for $60 at the door, at the Box Offi ce or online at www.fredopera.org. For more information, call the Opera House Box Offi ce at 716-

Rolling Hills Radio Kicks Off Th ird Season on WRFALive radio program gets support bvfrom local and regional sponsors
Contributed ArticleWRFA-LP Jamestown
Chautauqua County’s only local radio program dedicated to live music is now in its third season on the air. Host-ed by local singer Ken Hardly, Rolling Hills Radio combines performance and interviews
to both showcase the music and reveal the inspiration be-hind the work of the region’s most talented artists. Th e program is recorded on the fi nal Th ursday of each month at the Labyrinth Press Co. in Jamestown, and broadcast on local radio station WRFA-LP
(107.9 FM).Rolling Hills Radio (formerly known as the Woodsongs Coff eehouse Radio Hour) is funded in part by Univera Healthcare, the Chautauqua Region Community Founda-tion, Trinity Guitars and the Arts Council for Chautau-qua County. Because of the support from the sponsors, WRFA is able to handle all production and provide national syndication of Roll-ing Hills Radio, the fi rst such local program to be produced for a national market.Each performance showcases the original work of two dif-ferent musical artists. Host Ken Hardley discusses with each artist their life history and inspiration before each work is presented and then breaks down their technique and creative process with inci-sive and graceful questioning. In addition to performances, Hardley helps guide the audi-ence to a better understand-ing of the process of creating works of art with insightful and humorous dialog. Th e artists come together at the end of each performance to unite the sometimes contrast-
ing or complimentary styles in a musical grand fi nale, blending some very unique sounds into a common mo-ment of original music.More information on Rolling Hills Radio, including a com-plete schedule of the 2012-2013 season, can be found on facebook at facebook.com/RollingHillsRadio. Inspiring the Community initiative:In addition to supporting programming on WRFA-LP, Univera Healthcare wanted to help spread the word about WRFA and its role as a center of inspiration to the com-munity. Univera has created custom-designed magnetic picture frames, so that friends of WRFA can post pictures of whatever inspires them on their refrigerators at home or on their fi le cabinets at work. Friends of WRFA are also invited to post their inspir-ing photos on the station’s facebook page at facebook.com/wrfalp.

Red Ribbon Week is the oldest and largest drug prevention campaign in the country.

To participate in the contest families and students will decorate the front of their homes with this year’s message: “Th e Best Me Is Drug FreeTM.” Studies show that substance abuse risks lessen when parents talk to their children about the
dangers of drugs, and that is the goal of this year’s contest: to encourage families to talk about prevention.Here’s how students and their families can enter to win $1,000 for their K-12 school and a new iPad:Students bring the Red Rib-bon Week® message home by working alongside parents to decorate their front door, mailbox, fence, etc. with this year’s theme “Th e Best Me Is Drug Free™.”Take a photo with the family and their Red Ribbon Week®

to their neighborhoods with this national contest,” said the NFP’s Volunteer President Peggy Sapp. “By decorating their homes together with this year’s Red Ribbon theme, families carry the message to their communities.” Th e na-tion’s oldest and largest drug prevention campaign reaches more than 80 million people nationwide. Th e DEA is co-sponsoring this year’s national contest. “DEA is excited to partner with the National Family Partnership® on this contest that empowers communi-
ties to come together to talk about the drug problem,” said DEA Administrator Michele M.

People from many back-grounds have reported the benefi cial eff ects from interac-tions with animals, both as life companions and as service or therapy “assistants.” Scientifi c researchers can help us under-stand both how benefi cial ef-fects occur and how to protect participants from any risks as-sociated with human-animal interactions. Animal-assisted programming has been of-fered in schools, workplaces, medical and mental health hospitals/clinics, military sites and senior living facilities.To help the campus and com-munity better understand some of these issues, SUNY Fredonia Psychology Pro-fessors Bruce Klonsky and Nancy Gee and Community Psychologist Sandra Vedovato are hosting a two-part series, “Horses, Hounds, and Healing Arts: Animal-Assisted Learn-ing and Th erapy Programs,” which will allow participants to hear from experts in the fi elds of animal-assisted learn-ing and therapy.Part one of this program, which will focus on horse/equine therapy, will be held on Saturday, Oct. 20, from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the Wil-liams Center’s Horizon Room on the Fredonia campus.Claudia Monroe, a physical therapist, hippotherapist and founder of the Centaur Stride Th erapeutic Riding center in Westfi eld, N.Y., and Debbi Fisher, operations director for the Rainier Th erapeu-tic Riding Center in Yelm, Wash., will speak and serve as workshop leaders in discuss-ing equine-assisted program

Fisher is also the mother of a daughter and son currently serving in the armed forces, as did her late husband.Th e second session to be held on Saturday, Nov. 3 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., will focus on canine therapy topics and feature Dr. Gee and Jonell Belcher, MSW. Gee is a Mars Corporation Fellow in Human-Animal Interaction whose professional research has revealed the positive ef-fects which dogs have on the motor and cognitive skills of young children. Ms. Belcher is a SUNY Fredonia graduate (Class of 2010) and a military veteran who recently obtained her master’s in Social Work (MSW) with an animal-assist-ed social work certifi cate from the University of Denver.Representatives from schools, medical and mental health fa-cilities, senior programs, civil service organizations like fi re and police, military organiza-tions and prison programs
may especially benefi t from this program.Each event’s morning keynote session, as well as the special planning session about mili-tary and civilian responder programming on Oct. 20, are free and open to the pub-lic.

Th ree seniors at Chautauqua Lake Central School brought new leadership skills and interests back to school this fall, aft er attending Boys’ and Girls’ State leadership pro-grams last summer. Jeremy Lesniowski and Sam Snyder attended the 76th annual Boys’ State at Morrisville State College in Morrisville, New York, and Hannah Rauh represented Chautauqua Lake at Girls’ State on the SUNY Brockport campus. Th eir participation was sponsored by the William L. Travis American Legion Post 493.“With every right comes a responsibility,” observed Han-nah Rauh, daughter of Megan and John Rauh of Ashville. Th ese words were spoken by one of the inspirational speakers at Girls’ State, who expressed the importance of every individual’s role in government.Creating an “imaginary 51st state” helped further the girls’ understanding of government and politics. In the mock state, Hannah was elected to be a Senator and to serve on the criminal justice commit-tee.“We split into several com-mittees and created bills to
present to the Senate and As-sembly,” Hannah explained. “Also, throughout the week we had the privilege to listen to guest speakers. I thought it was really interesting to hear the stories of power-ful women who were in my shoes years ago.”Jeremy Lesniowski found it “interesting and refresh-ing” that Boys’ State off ered programs like a yearbook team, a website crew, and a press corps, as well as the video editing program where he worked.While at Boys’ State, Jeremy, son of Sheila Lesniowski of Ashville, tried to observe as many political rallies as pos-sible. “It was really amazing,” he reported, “just to watch my fellow Boys’ Staters work independently and do what they did best: lead.”“Th e best way to describe Boys’ State is as a micro-community,” Jeremy asserted. “I assembled in a group of roughly fi ft y boys, which became my town. We worked together as a tight unit, al-most like a family. We looked out for each other, much like a real town would.” Jeremy described his town working together with other towns and counties to form a state.“Th e most interesting part,”
he said, “was that we didn’t just function as a legislative body of representatives, but as actual members of a town, just like neighbors who live together and help each other in any way possible.”For Jeremy, the best part of the Boys’ State experience was the people: the group he lived with, the counselors “who really cared about the kids and truly believed in the program,” and the Marines “who really seemed to care for the kids.”Sam Snyder, son of Amy and Steve Snyder of Mayville, says Boys’ State helped him better understand the complexity of government. Th e “intensity and rigor” of the program surprised him. He enjoyed challenging himself by campaigning for diff erent offi ces, but Sam reports that the highlight of the experience was “meeting motivated kids from all over the state.”Sam competes on the varsity soccer and track teams, has been a member of Student Administration since his freshman year, and is a mem-ber of Sources of Strength. He was inducted into the National Honor Society last fall and is active in the Span-ish Club.

Th e SUNY Fredonia Technol-ogy Incubator has graduated its fi rst tenant since opening its new facility in December 2009. TexTivia, an innovative digital and social media mar-keting agency, was founded at the incubator. It later expand-ed, opening two additional offi ces on the East Coast. Upon graduation, TexTivia will relocate into nearby offi ce space within the Dunkirk Professional Building, 314 Central Ave., Suite 303.One of the new incubator building’s original tenants, TexTivia has since captured a tremendous number of new customers, generating a ten-fold increase in revenue last year. Th e company works closely with the Chautauqua County Chamber of Com-merce and several other com-munity organizations which have opened countless busi-ness opportunities. TexTivia recently designed the incuba-tor’s new website as well.“A large factor in the prog-ress TexTivia has made is owed to the SUNY Fredonia Technology Incubator,” said Co-founder Ray Christopher. “Relocating to the Dunkirk Professional Building is an exciting opportunity to help create a synergy between the
incubator and the Dunkirk community.”Th e incubator off ers its client entrepreneurs access to a unique facility, business re-sources, technology expertise as well as a range of highly qualifi ed faculty, technology experts, business professionals and mentors. Research shows businesses graduating from an incubator signifi cantly increase their probability of long-term success. Companies typically spend two to three years in an incubator and then graduate when they meet milestones that allow them to operate independently and expand.“TexTivia has made a tre-mendous amount of progress in such a short time,” said Incubator Director Robert Fritzinger. “It’s encouraging to see our fi rst incubator gradu-ate expanding within the Dunkirk community.”Th e SUNY Fredonia Tech-nology Incubator is a SUNY Fredonia-sponsored economic development initiative that supports entrepreneurs and business start-ups in the technology sector and related industries. Since its offi cial opening in December 2009, it remains ahead of its initial growth projections and, with TexTivia’s departure, now houses 15 start-up companies.

Home Chic Holds Grand Reopening

So you went into the closet and took out your winter jacket and when you put it on, the zipper snagged and twisted and then broke away from its track, sliding up and down the cable uselessly. en when you found the mate to your favorite pair of shoes, one of the soles came loose. At the same time, you discovered both shoes needed laces. en in the same closet, you may notice the heavy suitcase with the broken handle that broke away as you pulled it from the luggage carousel at the airport. Or maybe when you slipped your backpack over your shoulder, the fasten-ing straps ripped. Would that be a bad day? Not necessarily. And certainly not if you know Tony Franchina. e talk around the village of West eld—and around many other towns—is that if you have something that needs xed, “Take it Tony.” e “it”
being anything - zippers, shoes, tent aps, belt buckles, luggage straps, and hat bands. “I can repair and mend ev-erything,” Tony boasts, easily drawing upon a veri ed re-cord of customer satisfaction.Anthony Franchina III of “Tony’s Shoe Repair,” has been on the corner of Main Street and North Portage for 20 years doing just that, repair-ing and mending. And much longer if you count in to it all three generations of the Franchina family who have been in the shoe repair busi-ness beginning with the senior Anthony in the 1920’s. When you take your sole-less shoe and busted zipper into Tony’s repair store, you’ll see a large-framed picture hanging from the wall. In that picture all three genera-tions of Franchina men can be seen operating a venerable and family honored piece of equipment: e Landis L Aristocrat 12 Outsole Stitcher-Sewing machine. e Aristo-
crat was presented with the “Highest Diploma and Medal” award at the World’s Colum-bian Exposition in 1893. It will also be likely that you’ll nd Tony working at its direct descendent, a Landis Model 12. Just as Tony is a direct descendent of his father who used that very machine in Falconer during the early 1960’s, and whose grandfather repaired shoes, each em-ployed the same handed down machine, representing nearly ninety-years of family use on the same equipment. e Landis Aristocrat looks like a cross between a Kitch-enAide mixer and a bench grinder. e steel casting, the brass gearing, and the chrome handles symbolizes the memorable notion that classic manufacturing workmanship represents.Tony himself represents the notion of classical workman-ship; the shoe cobbler. He apprenticed under his father at the age of nine where his
father, also Tony, worked in Falconer from 1983-2004, un-til he moved his shoe cobbling shop to Jamestown.Is Tony a third genera-tion cobbler? “No,” he says considering the longstanding common de nition of the job description, “I like to use the word cra sman. I do so much more than just repair shoes.” is is di cult to accept because all the wall shelving is stocked with shoes to be repaired, or those to go out, repaired. “I do boat covers. Sometimes I x toys,” he says, handing a newly mended pair of black dress shoes to a customer.“Back in the seventies and eighties, there were about 11 or so shoe repair shops in this area,” Tony accounted, “now there are three.” en re ect-ing, “that I know of.” e three that he counts are all owned by the Franchina fam-ily: his father’s in Jamestown, his own in West eld, and a newly acquired shop in War-ren, Pa, called “Ye Ole Shoe
Repair.”Tony’s Shoe Repair in West eld is also a retail store and o ers all accessories to footwear in addition to new shoes. And boots. And travel luggage. And, of course, new laces for those shoes you found in the closet. A kiosk displays Merino wool socks, as long and thick as a scarf. All weather boots, the
ubiquitous footwear of many Chautauqua County hunters, insulated jackets and many se-lections of all-purposed shoes, are also on display.You can call Tony’s Shoe Repair at 716 326-2040. Or, you can just walk in. He’s open all business days from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. “Except Wednesdays,” he said. “ at’s my time o .”

Q&A
Q: Our cat’s skin seems to be really dry and very flaky. Would a humidifier help? We do live in a very dry climate. — via Facebook A: I would guess that low humidity is not causing your cat’s skin issues. After all, cats are descended from desert-dwelling creatures, and dry conditions alone shouldn’t cause a massive amount of flakiness. Treating symptoms is never as good as treating the condition itself; in fact, it can more expensive, and even deadly. Before you start add-ing more moisture to the air, oil to the diet or any other quick-fix solution, your cat needs to see his veterinarian. Once the problem is correctly diagnosed, it can be prop-erly treated. By the way, other pets actually do have a problem with the dry air of the modern home, most notably birds. Many species of pet parrots originally came from hot, humid en-vironments. For these, dry air pres-ents a problem and may contribute to feather-picking. That’s why parrots need to be offered frequent opportunities to get damp, such as by being misted or being allowed to bathe. — Dr. Marty Becker
*** Q: Is catnip really safe for my cat? — via Facebook A: A catnip high is harmless and nonaddictive, so you can stop wor-rying. Every cat reacts in his or her own way to catnip. Some will be giddy, some dazed, and a large percentage won’t react at all. (Kittens under the age of 3 months are not affected.) The ability to appreciate the herb is geneti-cally programmed, with slightly more cats in the catnip fan club than not. Catnip contains a substance called “nepetalactone” in its leaves and stems, and this is what sets cats off. Rolling, rubbing, leaping, purring and general uninhibited happiness are all normal for a few minutes after exposure. — Gina Spadafori Do you have a pet question?

Gravity being what it is, even a creature made
for flying spends a lot of time on his feet. This is why it’s a shame that too many bird lovers give perch-es too little thought, forcing their pets to spend their lives on the plain wooden dowels that come as standard equipment with most cages. The good news is that poor perch selec-tion is easy to remedy, with lots of choices in specialty bird shops as well as bird-supply catalogs and websites. Remember three things when it comes to perches: safety, vari-ety and destructibility. Safety because, well, that’s kind of obvious. Variety because a wide array of shapes, sizes and materials will help keep your bird’s feet comfortable and healthy. Destructibility? Perches, like toys, are appropriate targets for the demolition urges that help keep birds busy, fit and free of boredom. Here’s what you’ll find when looking for perches: D Wooden dowels. There’s nothing really wrong with these standard-issue perches, but you can do bet-ter by your bird. While it won’t hurt to leave a wooden dowel in the cage, take out the extras and add variety to your bird’s environment. D Rope. Great stuff! Rope perches are both com-fortable and entertaining. They’re easy to clean, too. Just run them through the washer and dryer, or put them in the top rack of your dishwasher. One kind of rope perch — the bouncy coil — is truly wonderful, combining the best elements of a rope, a swing and a bungee cord. These coils are great fun for your bird, and help to keep overweight “perch potatoes” more active. The downside to rope is the possibility of your pet catching a toe on a frayed part of the perch or swal-lowing loose strands of the rope. Watch closely and replace these perches when the rope gets stringy. D Mineral. Almost every bird should have a min-eral perch, also called a concrete or cement perch. The rough texture feels good underfoot, and the surface is great for helping to keep nails blunt and beaks clean and well-groomed (birds like to wipe their beaks against the rough surface).
D Skip the sandpaper. Sandpaper perches are uncomfortable and have been known to cause foot problems, and they should be replaced with a mineral perch. Read the packaging material to choose the right diameter for your pet. D Plastic. Two kinds of plastic, acrylic and PVC, are both popular because of their sturdiness and relative ease of cleaning. If you choose acrylic, be sure to add other chewable perch options to your bird’s environ-ment. In general, acrylic is better than PVC, because the latter can too easily end up causing problems in a bird’s stomach. (PVC perches can be great for super-vised use, though.) D Tree branches. Most fruit and nut trees (almond, apple, prune and all citrus) are fine to use, as are ash, elm, dogwood and magnolia. If you can get your prun-ers on some manzanita, go for it — it’s a hard wood that can stand up to a lot of abuse. Leave the bark on all branches for your bird to peel off. Cut the branches to fit in the cage, scrub with soap, rinse well and air-dry. Be sure to break off and discard any insect pods before putting the branch in the cage. Check all perches regularly, looking for wear and safety problems. Think of perches as replaceable cage furnishings, helping to fight boredom and keeping your bird comfortable and healthy. The extra labor and cost involved in keeping a fresh variety of perches in the cage is more than offset by the benefits of good perches for your bird.

A week aft er defeating the No. 1 team in the state, Jamestown has to turn its focus into becoming the No. 1 team in the league. Th at’s what at stake Saturday when the Red Raid-ers travel north to face the Clar-ence Red Devils in a game that will decide AA South on the fi nal day of the season.“Last week was great, but it’s over,” Jamestown head coach Tom Langworthy said. “I’m proud of the kids, but we know it’s a huge week. Th ere’s a league championship rid-ing on this game.”Jamestown delivered a 35-28 victory over Orchard Park last week, capped by a touchdown pass from Jacob Sis-son to Stephen Carlson with a little less than four minutes remaining in the game. Jamestown forced a turn-over on downs and a fumble in the fi nal seconds to fi nish off the game. Of course, not without some drama as Orchard Park scored what would have been a potentially game-tying touchdown that was called back due to holding before fumbling the ball away on the next play.So, Jamestown ended Orchard Park’s 18-game winning streak and now has a chance to fi nish in a tie with the Quakers for the regular season crown. However, Jamestown would win the tiebreaker and earn the No. 1 seed based on the head-to-head result.
But as Langworthy said, it’s in the past. Now, they have to take on Clarence, a team that has won three straight en route to clinching a third straight postseason bid. In addition to making the two-hour trip north on Saturday — a place Jamestown has won once in the last decade — it’s Clarence’s homecoming game.“Th ey’re a good team that’s very well coached,” Langworth said. “And we know team’s look forward to playing
us now.”Slowing down Jamestown’s off ense will be at the forefront of Clarence’s hopes for a win. Jamestown’s passing game was extremely effi cient last Friday night as Jacob Sisson went 16-for-21 for nearly 200 yards passing along with three touchdowns. Th e junior seemed to fi nd sophomores Stephen Carlson and Zach Panebian-co at will with the two combining for 10 receptions. Mike Watson, Conner
Anderson and Josh Colwell have also fi gured into the mix.And then there’s Da’Quan Hollings-worth, the junior running back who has gone over 100 yards in all but one game this year. He’s nearly a lock to go over the 1,000-yard mark.“I’d say it’s the most diverse off ense I’ve ever had,” Langworthy said. “Most dynamic, too. On any down,

JAMESTOWN, N.Y. — Greg Peterson, local baseball historian and videographer, will present a film clip he has created about Hugh Bedient at the Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame sponsored Hugh Bedient Centennial Banquet Saturday, October 20, at the Robert H. Jackson Center in Jamestown.The banquet will honor Bedi-ent, a Falconer native, who as a rookie pitcher for the 1912 Boston Red Sox compiled a sterling 20-9 record while leading his team to the World Series title. In the Series, Bedient was magnificent pitching 18 innings in 4 games with an ERA 0.50 for the champion Red Sox.Peterson, a partner attorney at Phillips-Lytle and founder of the Robert H. Jackson Center, is well-known for his knowledge of local baseball history and has an exten-sive collection of related memo-rabilia and research materials. He was the driving force behind the David Mule book Across the Seams that chronicles the history of base-ball in the Jamestown region.A 2012 inductee of the Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame, Peterson is also rarely seen without his video camera. He has interviewed a countless number of personalities and events. His videos are aired regularly on Time Warner Cable channel 19.The Hugh Bedient Centennial Ban-quet will closely replicate a similar banquet that was held 100 years
ago. Bedient was welcomed back to his hometown with a parade witnessed by over 25,000 proud Chautauqua County residents and was feted with a reception and ban-quet on Oct. 22, 1912. The event was held at the Odd Fellows Lodge on Main Street in Falconer.The featured speaker at the Hugh Bedient Centennial Banquet will be Dick Berardino, a player develop-ment consultant for the Boston Red Sox. Berardino was a coach for the Jamestown Falcons when it was a Red Sox affiliate in 1968-70. Dick, a renowned speaker and storyteller, has been an integral part of the Boston Red Sox organization for 45 years.A highlight of the Hugh Bedient Centennial Banquet will be the
presentation of the Society for American Baseball Research 1912 American League Rookie of the Year Award to the grandchildren of Bedient.Dinner will be provided by Vicki McGraw of Elegant Edibles Cater-ing who is planning a similar menu to that of the original 1912 banquet.A cocktail hour hosted by the Hugh Bedient Celebration Com-mittee will begin at 6 p.m. with the banquet to follow at 7.Tickets to the Oct. 20 Hugh Bedi-ent Centennial Banquet are priced at $30 and are available by calling Russ Diethrick at 665-2265, Sam Ognibene at 450-0663, or Chautau-qua Sports Hall of Fame president Randy Anderson at 640-6219.

One of the best weeks of the year for local sports is upon us as Dunkirk and Fredonia will renew their foot-ball rivalry this Friday at the Orange Bowl. Although it’s a non-league game for both schools, traditional bragging rights are on the line, per-haps even more than usual.Th at’s because it’s 13 wins in a row for Fredonia (4-2, 3-2 C North) over their cross-town rival Dunkirk (2-4, 2-3 B South), but the talent dispar-ity might be the smallest it’s been in recent years. While Fredonia will compete in Class C’s sectional play-off s, they’ll be a road-seeded team for the fi rst time since 2009 and for only the second time in the past fi ve years. But their recent domination has more than stretched into the Dunkirk series. Even in back-to-back one-win seasons in 2004 and 2005, Fredonia edged Dunkirk in the fi nal game
of each year to grab that fi rst win. Games were low scoring and tight, particularly in 2005 when Fredonia snuck out with a 7-6 win.Even with Fredonia’s recent suc-cess, though, the Marauders have kept games close. Last year, Dunkirk tied things up at 20 late in the third quarter, only for Fredonia to pull away in the fourth and win 33-20. In 2010, Fredonia won by the same margin, 25-12, in another pretty tight game. And way back in 2009, Fredonia snuck by again, this time winning 12-7.But things will already be a little dif-ferent this year. First year head coach Rob Genco will lead Dunkirk into Friday night’s game and although the win total mirrors recent years, the Marauders have certainly stepped up their competition. Th ey’ve hung with Pioneer, Eden and Cheektowaga, three teams that all have legitimate hopes of winning the talented and deep Class B.

Although there’s just one week to go in the regular season, the scenario’s are rampant for which teams will end up where with playoff s about 10 days away. Much of the league’s that have teams from Chautauqua County have playoff sports spoken for, but have plenty of diff erent sce-narios for how they’re ranked.Perhaps none are more intrigu-ing than Jamestown’s, who broke Orchard Park’s 18-game winning streak and now has the possibility of winning the division. Also to that, divisional races in Class C and DD have seemingly endless possibilities.
Class AAJamestown clinched a playoff spot and kept the division race wide open aft er the defeat-ing the Quakers last Friday night, but they’re far from out of the woods yet. Th ey travel to Clarence and a win over the Red Devils would clinch the division. However, a loss would send Jamestown into a three-way tie with Clar-ence and idle Frontier (plays a non-league game). Jamestown lost to both of those teams and would consequently lose the tiebreaker, dropping Jame-stown all the way down to the No. 4 seed in AA South. Th ey would have to travel to the AA North champ in the fi rst round of the playoff s, likely Lockport.Orchard Park can fi nish no worse than second. And while both teams have clinched, Frontier will be seeded higher than Clarence regardless of what happens this week.
Class BDunkirk’s playoff hopes were dashed with a 20-0 loss to Springville. Th ey are also out of the Chuck Funke Memorial Classic race. Eden won the division aft er beating Pioneer. Th e Panthers look safe, but if Springville beats Olean, they’d fall all the way to third and have to win a tie-breaker over B East and West’s third place teams. Springville, meanwhile, clinches a spot with a win over Olean.
Class CFredonia had a chance to win the North Division title with a win over Akron. Since they lost, the top seed will go to the win-ner of the Cleveland Hill-JFK game this weekend. Th e loser will be in a three-way tie with Wilson and Fredonia. Luck-ily for the Hillbillies, they beat both Cleve Hill and JFK, thus meaning this three-way tie will be broken by point diff erential.Knowing that, Wilson (+28)
will grab the No. 2 seed. Th e loser of Cleve Hill (+18) and JFK (+15) will obviously have a lower point diff erential aft er Saturday and battle for the No. 3 or 4 spot with Fredonia (+11).In the South Division, Cassada-ga Valley’s upset over South-western clinched the No. 4 seed for the Cougars. It also bumped the Trojans out of the playoff s. Th e top three seeds, though, are completely up for grabs. Allegany-Limestone, Sala-manca and Westfi eld are all tied at 3-1 for the top spot. Th ey will be the league’s top three seeds, in some order.Th e scenario’s rest largely on the Salamanca/Westfi eld game at Westfi eld. If Salamanca wins, they win the league, re-gardless of what else happens.If Westfi eld wins, they clinch at least a share of the title and seeding would depend on the Allegany-Limestone/Falconer game. If A-L wins that, along with the Westfi eld win, A-L gets the top seed, Westfi eld is No. 2 and Salamanca is No. 3. If A-L loses that, along with the Westfi eld win, Westfi eld is the top seed, Salamanca is No. 2 and A-L is No. 3.
Class DAll eight teams make the play-off s. Maple Grove has clinched the No. 1 seed and home fi eld throughout. I-Prep has clinched the No. 8 seed and Catt/LV will be the No. 7 seed.Seeds 2-6 could go anywhere, though. Randolph and Chau-tauqua Lake control their own destiny. If Randolph beats Catt/LV, they’ll clinch the No. 2 seed. If Chautauqua Lake beats Silver Creek, they’re at least the No. 3 seed. Th ey would need Randolph to lose to win that tiebreaker and the No. 2 seed.Of the three 3-3 teams Silver Creek (Chautauqua Lake), Portville (at I-Prep) and Frewsburg (at Maple Grove), Silver Creek will likely win any three-way tiebreaker based on their point diff erential.
Class DDClymer has clinched at least a share of the division title aft er fi nishing 5-1 in league play. Ellicottville (Franklinville) and Sherman (at Forestville) can also grab a share of the division crown with wins. Th at would force a three-way tie, likely to be won by Ellicot-tville (+67) or Sherman (+57). In the case of a three-way tie, Clymer (+52) would be guar-anteed to fi nish third.Clymer can clinch the top seed with a Sherman loss. Sherman can clinch the top seed with an Ellicottville loss. Ellicottville needs to win and have Sher-
man win to have a chance — a good chance, though.Th e fourth seed will either be Panama or Franklinville, but
Panama only needs to beat Pine Valley or have Frankl-inville lose to Ellicottville to clinch the fourth and fi nal playoff spot.

County Football Power Rankings1. Jamestown (5-1)— They ended an 18-game winning streak for the No. 1 team in the entire state in the highest league. Red Raiders are back in title race, can clinch division with win. Last week: 1. This week: at Clarence.
2. Maple Grove (6-0)— Third straight shutout, this time over Portville. Hard to see them losing until at least state’s. They’ll take over the top spot if Jamestown falls again. LW: 2. TW: Frewsburg.
3. Westfield (4-2)— Who could have possibly predicted this? Win over
Forestville wasn’t much, but Wolverines could at least clinch share of C South with win over Salamanca. LW: 5. TW: Salamanca.
4. Fredonia (4-2)— Hillbillies just needed to beat Akron to win C North. They lost 27-10 and now cannot win the division. Bragging rights in Dunkirk game about all that’s on the line. LW: 3. TW: Dunkirk.
5. Sherman/Ripley (5-1)— Their win over Westfield looks better by the day. Unfortunately, they’ll likely need Ellicottville to lose to clinch the top seed in DD’s playoffs. Likely will lose three-way tiebreaker. LW: 7. TW: at Forestville.
6. Clymer (5-1)— Considered out of the race after two weeks, Clymer won its fifth straight to finish 5-1 in league play. Also likely to lose tiebreaker in the case there is one. LW: 8. TW: Cassadaga Valley
7. Chautauqua Lake (4-2)— In a season where a lot of things have gone right, everything went wrong against Randolph in a 35-6 loss. Needs to right the ship against Silver Creek before playoffs. LW: 4. TW: at Silver Creek.
8. Silver Creek (3-3)— Black Knights are back in the thick of things in D after beating up Frewsburg. They’ve now won three of four and could still get home playoff game. LW: Not Ranked. TW: Chautauqua Lake
9. Cassadaga Valley (3-3) — Credit Nick Spitzer for finding a way to beat Southwestern and get back into the playoffs. Cougars will be tough first round opponent for someone. LW: NR. TW: at Clymer.
10. Frewsburg (3-3)— Not sure who the second best team in Class D is, but the Bears’ promising season has hit a few bumps with back-to-back home losses. Not what you want before heading to Maple Grove. LW: 6. TW: at Maple Grove.

Fredonia, meanwhile, will be look to avenge last week’s loss to Akron, a game that could have clinched the C North division title, but instead dropped Fredonia as low as fourth place in league play. But Fredonia will be in the playoff s regardless of what happens this week, while Dunkirk’s season is basically
over except for a consolation bowl game. Fredonia will learn its playoff fate once all games are decided in Week 7. Th ey still do not their fi nal placement in C North, and C South is completely wide open still.Kick off for Friday’s game is at 6:30 p.m. at the Orange Bowl in Fredonia.

we can run or we can throw and it’s really made us very balanced. It’s makes defenses stress that much more for us I think.”But with underclassmen at key posi-tions, can this unit get even better?“Everybody can get better,” Lang-worthy said. “We just fi nished Week 6, so we look at this as mid-season still. We watch fi lm every week and look for ways to improve.”One of those areas has been Jame-stown’s inability to fi nish drives. For whatever reason, the Red Raiders are
having great success moving the ball until getting into the red zone. Twice Jamestown got inside the 20 against Orchard Park and failed to score. It nearly cost them.“We could have done much better in the red zone,” Langworthy said. “We need to have a sense of urgency to score and fi nish off drives.”It will be a big game for both teams, though. Not only is Jamestown looking to lock up the top seed in AA South, Clarence is hoping to get out of the fourth spot in the division. Th at means they’d have
to travel to Lockport in the fi rst round, a tough task for any team. But, if Clarence were to knock off Jamestown, it would send the Red Raiders all the way down to the fourth spot (due to tiebreakers) and heading to Lockport.But make no mistake about, Jame-stown’s coming to Clarence with one thing in mind and that’s to win a league championship.“We’re confi dent,” Langworth said. “We know we can play great, but you can’t just say it, you have to go out there and do it.”
Langworthy said there’s no hid-ing the fact that Jamestown has a chance to win the championship. It’s made practice that much more intense, but he’s been trying to keep his team grounded.“Every week we say we’re 0-0,” he said. “And at the end of the week, we want to be 1-0. Every week you start over and it’s no diff erent this week.”But it will be his seniors last regular season game and a chance to leave an imprint on the pro-gram forever with a regular season championship, the first Jamestown
could have in a decade. “I’m proud of our guys for getting to this point,” Langworthy said. “For our seniors, we always say what kind of legacy do you want to leave. And this is their chance. But we’ve earned it. We’ve earned the right to play for a championship.“We’ve got a great group of kids and we try to win and do it with class,” he continued. “And I think we’ve done a pretty good job of that. But for right now, what we have to do is win Saturday.”

Th at’s it. I just can’t do it anymore. I’ve been willing to give the Bills the benefi t of the doubt throughout the off season, the preseason, and even the fi rst couple of losses during this regular season.But that’s it.Yes, Sunday was the last straw for me. I won’t reiter-ate the stats because you’ve heard them a million times by now — for each yard the Bills have allowed through fi ve games. But Sunday’s loss was another in the seemingly never-ending punch-to-the-guts that this team makes its fan base endure. Th e incred-ible part is I seem to be say-ing that aft er every loss now — each one somehow worse than its predecessor.But that’s where we are and unless I can go back in time and have my parents raise me in another city, this is my team and unfortunately, this is what I’m used to. Doesn’t mean I can’t com-plain. Sunday was absolutely a new all-time low. Just when you thought things couldn’t pos-sibly get any worse, the Bills did what they always do by fi nding ways to surprise you by their futility. In most cas-es, it’s not a surprise, but no matter how bad you thought this team was aft er the New England game, nobody could have envisioned allowing 600-plus yards to Alex Smith and Co. Six hundred yards.We’ve had to put up with a lot of no-shows during the Chan Gailey era. Five times in 2010 the Bills were beat by more than 24 points. But, hey it was his fi rst year. No talent on that team, right? Four more times in 2011 including the unforgettable back-to-back blowouts against Dallas and Miami. But, hey there were too many injuries. Not that team’s fault, right?And fi nally, two more this year — should be three but the Bills staged a “rally” aft er trailing the Jets 41-7 in the opener — through just fi ve games. But, hey I’m out of excuses. Pardon my French, but this team sucks.Th e Bills are 31st in total defense, a step down from last year. Would you believe me if I said Gailey’s best defense, statistically, was in 2010 with a team that started 0-8? According to pro-foot-ball-reference.com, the Bills are on pace for their worst defensive season ever — ac-cording to the Simple Rating System. Miles worse than the 1971 team that went 1-13 and had a point diff erential of -210. Th at was one of the worst teams in pro football history. What does that make these guys?Frankly, my opinion of these guys can’t be written in public. Nobody has been able to watch that defense and say “well…” or else you’re just not paying attention. It’s just particularly frustrat-ing because of the invest-ment. It’s not as though this
team has been rag-tagged together like that 2010 squad. First round picks in Marcell Dareus and Stephon Gilmore. Recent pro bowlers Kyle Williams and Nick Bar-nett. Competent anchors in Jairus Byrd and George Wil-son. And, yeah, $100 million free agent Mario Williams.And yet, they’re terrible. Historically terrible. I mean, seriously, this team makes you wish they still had Dick Jauron and his staples Donte Whitner and Paul Posluszny. How is that possible?Well, if there is any silver lining, it’s that we won’t have to put up with this era much longer. But, man I’m sick of hearing about that. Gailey is now 12-25 and a more preposterous 2-12 against the AFC East. Th e of-fensive guru has managed to put together a middle-of-the-road off ense. Actually pretty impressive considering he’s done it with Ryan Fitzpatrick and a bunch of no-name receivers. Unfortunately, though, they’ve settled on mediocrity and that off ense is what it is. Defensively, well I’ve painted that picture.Gailey says it’s his job to fi x it, but I can’t imagine it will be his much longer. Old Ralph Wilson — and I mean old — has a pretty strong track record of not putting up with losing for long. He gave Wade Phillips three years, Greg Williams three years, Mike Mularkey two and Jauron three-plus. Don’t forget, though, Jauron was extended in his third year aft er a 4-0 start. He went 6-15 from there on and was fi red midway through his fourth year.If you thought the previous four coaches had their teams regressing in Year 3, what in God’s name do you consider this?Outside of the off ensive line and the backfi eld, every other position appears bet-ter to start from scratch. Fitzpatrick is a disaster. I’ve been on the bubble since the year started, but it fi nally just burst. He’s the worst starting quarterback in the league and it cannot be argued. Sad thing is Tyler Th igpen and Tavares Jackson are even worse.Th e defensive line is an ab-solute joke. Th e linebackers, at least, simply aren’t good enough like we all thought. And the cornerbacks, al-though young, look beyond lost. Chalk that one up to Dave Wannstedt if you’d like.Yes, this team can redeem it-self. Th e talent level isn’t 2-14 bad, but we’ve also learned it’s not playoff — or even .500 — good. So what’s the point if they beat Arizona this week? We’re in for an-other year of mediocrity with six, seven wins perhaps, and a draft pick around 10 or 11. Funny how it doesn’t matter who coaches this team, who plays on this team, or even who puts it together. Th ey’ll simply lose a few more than they win.Maybe that’s a shot at Wilson. I don’t know. What I do know is this team isn’t good enough and isn’t going anywhere. I’ve had enough of the Gailey/Fitzpatrick era. You can let them ride it out to see if they can turn it around.But I’m not betting on it. It’ll be time to move on from both come year’s end.

Steve Trapani, sales representative for Superior Bat, has commis-sioned a special bat to honor his hometown hero Hugh Bedient.Th e fi rst offi cial Major League Baseball Rookie of the Year Award was given in 1947 to Jackie Robinson, but who were the top freshman per-formers before that season? Th e Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) conducted a vote of its mem-bership to determine the hy-pothetical Rookies of the Year from 1900-1946. Th e winner of the 1912 American League RoY was Hugh Bedient of the Boston Red SoxBedient, a Falconer native, was a rookie pitcher for the 1912 Boston Red Sox com-piling a sterling 20-9 record while leading his team to the American League title.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Steve Spurrier likes what undefeated South Carolina has accomplished so far. He knows, though, the third-ranked Gamecocks have plenty of games left that will determine how special the season turns out.South Carolina (6-0, 4-0 South-eastern Conference) jumped up three spots Sunday to its highest position since 1984 after a dominating 35-7 victory over No. 14 Georgia on Saturday night. The Gamecocks reached a number of milestones, win-ning their school-record 10th straight game and taking three straight from the Bulldogs for the first time with the sort of performance that fuels national title talk.“We realized if we won the game last night, this could happen,” Spurrier said.Spurrier handled those sky-high expectations in much of his 12 seasons at Florida from 1990-2001, bringing his alma mater a national champion-ship in 1996. Spurrier says this group of Gamecocks is his most complete and mature group since he took control of
things here in 2005. All that doesn't guarantee perfection in the unpredictable world of college football.“We certainly like where we are right now, but we're smart enough to know it's still a difficult, difficult road for us,” Spurrier said.That starts this week with the Gamecocks heading to No. 9 LSU to face a Tiger team angry from its season's first loss at No. 4 Florida earlier Saturday and carrying the advantage of a night game at Death Valley where the home team rarely falters.The fired-up LSU atmosphere even stung Spurrier before, his
1997 top-ranked, defending national champions stumbling to the Tigers 28-21.“They'll be ready for us,” Spur-rier said. “They're ready for everybody.”Part of Spurrier's success at South Carolina is his steady approach from week to week. When he arrived, he thought too much time was spent tracking state rival Clemson and not focused on the South-eastern Conference and got both players and fans to lock on to chasing a league title.He also knew the Gamecocks couldn't let the state's best players such as receiver A.J. Green head off to Georgia
like he did before Spurrier arrived. So Spurrier landed the past four winners of the state's “Mr. Football” award given South Carolina's top prep player. Those included last April's first-round draft pick in cornerback Stephon Gilmore and current Game-cocks stars tailback Marcus Lattimore and defensive end Jadeveon Clowney.Lattimore and Clowney showed their worth against the Bulldogs. Lattimore gained 109 yards — he has 467 yards and four TDs in three career games vs. Georgia — while Clowney led a defen-sive effort that held the SEC's highest scoring team coming in without a point the game's first 58 minutes.Clowney said the noise from a record 85,199 people at Williams-Brice Stadium was so overwhelming, Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray had to tap his center on the backside to get the snaps off — and it gave South Carolina defenders the chance to tee off. “I couldn't hear, so I knew they couldn't hear,” Clowney said, laughing.Georgia coach Mark Richt said South Carolina certainly

DENVER (AP) — Colorado Rockies manager Jim Tracy resigned Sunday, stepping down after the team set a franchise record for losses.The Rockies said a search for Tracy's replacement would begin immediately but they have no time frame for mak-ing a hire. Colorado finished last in the NL West this year while going 64-98.Tracy was promoted from bench coach to manager in May 2009. He was voted the NL Manager of the Year that season after guiding Colo-rado into the playoffs.The Rockies went 294-308 under Tracy.''I was surprised,'' Bill Geivett, the team's director of major league operations, told The Associated Press. ''You know, Jim and I go back a long time. We worked together for three different clubs.
''Basically, Tracy called me and told me his intentions and we talked about a lot of different things, but he had already made up his mind,'' said Geivett, who also worked with Tracy in Montreal and Los Angeles.Energized by the young players and the challenge of fixing things, Tracy had said repeatedly the last several weeks that he wanted to fulfill the final year on his contract
in 2013. But he changed his mind after meeting with Geivett for several hours on Friday and then mulling those discussions over the weekend.Asked why Tracy resigned, Geivett said: ''I don't think there was any one thing in particular that seemed to stand out, but you'd have to ask him that.''Tracy didn't return phone calls and texts from the AP.
Geivett said he wanted Tracy to return next season.''I mean, that's how I started our meeting on Friday, that he was the manager of the club,'' Geivett said. ''Like I said, it was surprising.''Geivett, however, didn't try to change Tracy's mind.''His decision was made when he called me and I respected that,'' Geivett said.Geivett said he had no timetable for hiring a new manager: ''All the focus has been on Jim Tracy the last few days here and I just got the call today, so we'll start to formulate a plan.''The Rockies will be the fourth team to change man-agers this year. Boston fired Bobby Valentine, Cleveland dismissed Manny Acta and Houston let go Brad Mills.Things changed for Tracy on Aug. 1 when Geivett, the assistant general manager, was given an office in the

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — The poised play of Everett Golson has Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly pleased with the quarterback's development heading toward a tough stretch of schedule.The sophomore quarterback was 17 of 22 for 186 yards and ran for another 51 in a 41-3 victory against Miami on Saturday.Those numbers won't set any records, but backed by Notre Dame's incredibly stingy defense, Golson doesn't need to. Kelly said Golson "grew up" before a sellout crowd at Chicago's Soldier Field.His coming of age comes at just the right time, with 17th-ranked Stanford, BYU and 13th-ranked Oklahoma up next for the 5-0 Irish.Kelly said Golson clearly ben-efited from having an off week before Miami.By Thursday of last week, his knowledge of Miami's de-fensive schemes had become clear in practice, Kelly said.Of course, he'll have no such luxury in preparing for Stanford.
"You're always concerned when you have a younger quarterback that he's going to be able to pick up a lot of things that a team like Stan-ford likes to do defensively," Kelly said."They're an aggressive defense, they bring a lot of looks. But I will say this: He did a lot of things in the second half that he had not done all year. He recognized pressure, did not run out of the pocket, stayed in there and delivered some balls on time. If that continues to show itself, he's going to be very, very difficult to defend because he's got that confi-dence level and a strong arm that he can deliver the ball."
Kelly said Golson is feeling more confident and he thinks his performance against Miami will be a "great step forward.""We'll just take it one step at a time with Everett," Kelly said. "We're not ready to feel like we're anywhere near the finished product, but a game like this will certainly buoy his confidence and ability to really focus in on the details of practice."No team in the country has al-lowed fewer touchdowns than Notre Dame (three), and the Irish are the only team in the nation that has yet to trail in a game. The last time the Irish went their first five games of
the season without trailing was in 1947, when they won the national championship.Kelly noted that before com-ing to Notre Dame three years ago, he had coached a lot of teams with high-powered of-fenses. Sometimes they ran up lots of points, but on their off days, they gave up more than they scored."The blueprint here is to not to try and outscore people and turn it into a track meet. It's to control the line of scrimmage, play great defense and be solid in the special teams. It's just a choice in the way I want our program to evolve."He praised the work of his defensive coordinator, Bob Diaco."Think about what Coach Diaco has had to defend in the five weeks: An option offense (Navy), a run-first with a quarterback in Purdue, Michi-gan State with a grind-it-out great running back. It's been an outstanding performance to date. We've seen it all, now we just need to build on it."ESPN's College Gameday will come to South Bend Saturday for the Stanford matchup.While Kelly is cognizant of the

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Drew Brees got suspended coach Sean Payton in the building, broke a prestigious NFL passing record and led New Orleans to a desperately needed first win of the season.For one memorable night, at least, the entire beleaguered Saints organization and its frustrated fans could celebrate a special moment in football history and recapture that winning feeling that had be-come commonplace before an offseason overshadowed by the NFL's bounty investigation.Brees broke Hall of Fame quarterback Johnny Unitas' half-century-old record by throwing a touchdown pass in his 48th straight game, and the Saints defeated the San Diego Chargers 31-24 on Sunday night.''I guess you really couldn't have written a better script for tonight,'' Brees said. ''To break the record, to get the win, and the fashion in which we won — really a complete team effort all the way around.''The amazing thing about a record like this is it spans over the course of four seasons and hopefully we can keep it going to for a while,'' Brees said. ''There are so many people that are a part of this.''Brees' 40-yard pass to Devery Henderson eclipsed the mark of 47 consecutive games with a touchdown pass Unitas set from 1956-60.Brees said he was honored and humbled to break a record by a player he saw as a pioneer who stood for ''everything that's great in this league.''Brees finished with four touchdown passes, including three to Marques Colston, giv-ing the seventh-year receiver a franchise-record 52 TD catches with the Saints (1-4).At Brees' request, the NFL allowed Payton, assistant head coach Joe Vitt and general manager Mickey Loomis — all serving various suspensions in connection with the NFL's bounty investigation — to attend the game. They and Unitas' son, Joe, saw Brees pass for 370 yards, enough to put Brees over 30,000 yards passing as a Saint in his 100th game with the club.Afterward, Brees took an elevator near the Saints' locker room up to the Superdome's suite level to share a few mo-ments with Payton, Loomis and Vitt.''It gave us a good mojo for sure,'' Brees said of Payton's presence. ''I love my coach, so glad he could be here. Mickey and Joe Vitt as well. It is spe-cial for our team, special they could be a part of this record.''NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, the one who sus-pended Saints personnel in the bounty matter but also granted Brees' request for Pay-ton, Vitt and Loomis to attend the game, chimed in on his Twitter page shortly after the record fell, writing, ''Congrats to (at)drewbrees & his team-mates on breaking Unitas'
record. Amazing accomplish-ment by great QB & leader. We're proud of you, Drew.''Philip Rivers passed for 354 yards and two touchdowns to former Saint Robert Meachem, but had two costly turnovers in the final quarter.''I can't tell you how tough it is to lose a game like this,'' Riv-ers said. ''We were right there. We were up by 10 points and just didn't get it done. We have a great team, a championship caliber team. But we have to win close games like this.''The first late turnover was Roman Harper's intercep-tion and 41-yard return on a pass tipped by fellow safety Malcolm Jenkins. That set up the Saints' final score on Gar-rett Hartley's field goal. San Diego (3-2) still had a chance to tie in the final minute until defensive end Martez Wilson stripped Rivers and recovered the fumble to seal the victory.The Saints' defense, which entered the game ranked least in the league, had a hand in the victory not only with the turnovers but five sacks.''You really have to credit our defense getting pressure on the quarterback,'' Interim head coach Aaron Kromer said. ''That's what made a difference in the game.''After his record-setting completion, Brees trotted to the end zone to hug Hender-son. The rest of New Orleans' offense pursued and swarmed around Brees in celebration while the jubilant Superdome crowd roared and then howled an elongated, ''Dreeeeeeew!''Brees took the game ball to the sideline where he contin-ued to accept congratulations. The scoring pass capped an 80-yard drive in which Brees completed all three of his third-down passes, including the touchdown.Colston finished with nine catches for 131 yards, while Henderson had eight catches for 123 yards.Colston's second TD late in the third quarter eclipsed a franchise mark set by Joe Horn in 2006 and pulled the Saints back within a field goal shortly after the Chargers appeared to have gone ahead 31-14 on Demorrio Williams' interception return for a touchdown. Williams' TD was nullified, however, by Melvin Ingram's late hit on Brees' chin, which drew a roughing-the-passer flag and extended what wound up to be an 87-yard scoring drive.''Obviously it was a critical play,'' Chargers coach Norv Turner said. ''You can't make those kinds of errors, and we will learn from them.''Vitt is expected to take over the coaching staff when his six-game suspension ends. Loomis was docked eight games. As the Saints headed into their bye week, the des-perately needed win offered hope, however faint, of mak-ing a run for a fourth-straight playoff appearance when Vitt and Loomis are back.Colston made his first touch-down catch on a pass Brees

Aft er a nightmarish start, it was an extremely successful weekend for the Jamestown Ironmen, who swept the Springfi eld Jr. Blues in a pair of games at the Jamestown Savings Bank Arena.But, no, the way they got there wasn’t pretty. Jamestown trailed 3-0 on Friday with only a few minutes left in the sec-ond period. Disappointing in that Jamestown was outshoot-ing Springfi eld heavily, but the Ironmen just couldn’t push one across. Th at changed late in the sec-ond with Tyler Dunagan push-ing one across for Jamestown. It was the winger’s third goal of the year for the Ironmen with assists going to Victor Johans-son and Evan Ritt.But Jamestown still trailed by two heading into the fi nal period and couldn’t string together much early. Spring-fi eld goalie Matt Leon had the Ironmen frustrated for most of then night and it reached its apex when the Ironmen pep-pered Leon with three shots in the span of 30 seconds, but to
no avail. Th e spark would come with less than seven minutes left in the game, though. Ross Pavek got into a fi ght with Jack Sloan aft er Springfi eld was called for tripping. Again Jamestown peppered shots on Leon, but even without scoring, it begun to only feel like a matter of time. Of course, Jamestown still needed two goals and their power play ended with-out one.But then recently acquired Dylan Zink took over. Zink brought Jamestown within one with a little more than three minutes remaining. He then pushed the game-tying goal across with three seconds remaining aft er Johansson thought he had tied it. Zink’s heroics sent it to overtime, but Johansson (two assists) and Ritt (three assists) were just as important.Th e teams each had one shot in an uneventful overtime, sending Jamestown to its fi rst shootout game of the year.Daniel Cesarz and Luc Gerdes put Jamestown up 2-0 quick, but Springfi eld fought back to make it 2-1 and 3-2 before Tim Shaughnessy
stuff ed Nate Chasteen on the fi nal shot of game. Saturday started a bit slow, but Jamestown fi rst shot on goal (six minutes into the game) was a powerplay goal from Pavek. Th at wouldn’t last for long, though, as the Iron-men returned the favor when Brett Szajner was sent to the box for high sticking. Tom Cooney pushed one across for Springfi eld to even things up 90 seconds later.Jamestown survived a late fl urry in the second period when Springfi eld controlled play for much of the last fi ve minutes in the period. Goalie Reid Mimmack kept the Jr. Blues off the board, though, and stopped 12 in the period.Jamestown then had to fi ght off a game misconduct penalty from Huba Sekesi early in the third, but dominated play for much of the third aft er a Springfi eld penalty a few minutes later. Still, though, the game was tied 1-1 until Gerdes scored the gamewinner off a rebound from a shot from Zink with 17 seconds left . Jamestown travels to Flint, Mich. to take on the Michigan Warriors for two games this weekend. Jamestown went 5-6-
1 against the Warriors last year.

Th e Divisional Stars of the Week is a weekly feature dur-ing the 2012-13 regular season that honors the top perform-ing players in each of the four NAHL divisions as nominated by their respective teams.Central Division Star of the Week: Chris Fischer, for-ward, Austin BruinsAustin Bruins captain Chris Fischer, 20, helped the Bruins to a weekend home sweep of Aberdeen to run their unde-feated streak to three straight games. For the weekend, the native of Apple Valley, Min-nesota, had two goals and two assists for four points and was a +3. In Friday’s 5-3 win, Fischer chimed in with an assist on a goal that tied the game at 2-2 at the time. On Saturday, he elevated his game to register two goals and an assist in a 6-3 win. For the season, Fischer has six points in seven games and has led the Bruins to 2nd place in the Central Division. “Chris does a great job of creating turnovers and then giving himself and his team-mates chances,” said Bruins head coach Chris Tok. “He plays a complete game and has great hockey sense. He is not a fl ashy player, but he works hard and utilizes his teammates.”2nd Star: Mac Jansen, for-ward, Coulee Region ChillHonorable Mention (alphabeti-cal): Cody Dixon, defenseman,
Austin Bruins – Erick Majerle, goaltender, Brookings Blizzard – Cody Marooney, forward, Brookings Blizzard.North Division Star of the Week: Mitch Kontny, for-ward, Johnstown TomahawksJohnstown is now on a three-game winning streak thanks in part to team captain Mitch Kontny, 20. Th is past weekend, Kontny was instrumental in Johnstown’s weekend sweep of the Janesville Jets. Th e native of Superior, Wisconsin, recorded three goals and an assist over the two-game weekend and was also a +3. In Saturday’s 5-3 win, Kontny scored the game’s fi rst goal and added an assist on the last goal. In Sunday’s 4-1 win, it was Kontny again scor-ing the fi rst goal of the game, which like the night before, also came in the game’s fi rst minute. He also added a goal midway through the 3rd period to se-cure the win. He is tied for the team lead with four goals. “Mitch is a great leader and he leads by example,” said Tomahawks head coach Jason Spence. “He is physical player and works really hard at get-ting to pucks fi rst and then capitalizing on his chances.”
2nd Star: Dylan Zink, defen-seman, Jamestown IronmenHonorable Mention (alphabeti-cal): Vito Aluia, forward, Port Huron Fighting Falcons – Mark Evan Auk, defenseman, Port Huron Fighting Falcons – Kyle Gattelaro, forward, Kalamazoo Jr. K-Wings – Christian George, forward, Ka-lamazoo Jr. K-Wings – Cody Gylling, forward, Johnstown Tomahawks – Alex Robert, defenseman, Soo Eagles – Brett Skibba, forward, Springfi eld Jr. Blues – Jared Van Wormer, forward, Soo Eagles.South Division Star of the Week: Brandon Hawkins, forward, Texas TornadoTexas Tornado forward Bran-don Hawkins, 18, had one of the more dominant weeks of any player so far this year in the NAHL. Of the Tornado’s nine goals in regulation this weekend, Hawkins was a part of seven of them, which in-cluded six goals and an assist. Th e Tornado won three games to remain as the only unde-feated team left in the NAHL and Hawkins scored the game-winner in two of the three wins. On Th ursday, Hawkins had a natural hat-trick and the
game-winning goal in a 4-2 win in Corpus Christi. Friday, the native of Macomb, Michi-gan, had two goals (including another game-winner) and an assist in a 3-2 win against the IceRays. On Sunday, he had another goal and a goal in the shootout as Texas beat Wichita Falls, 3-2. “We think Brandon fi ts in really well with this group of players we have here this year,” said Tornado head coach Tony Curtale. “He probably has one of the best shots of anyone I have coached in recent memory. His success is a di-rect result of his commitment to his hard work on and off the ice and getting acclimated to the NAHL game and the level of play.”2nd Star: Hampus Gustafsson, forward, Amarillo BullsHonorable Mention (alphabet-ical): Sean Gaff ney, forward, Topeka RoadRunners – Anthony Mousseau, defense-man, Texas Tornado – Michal Pastor, defenseman, Topeka RoadRunners.West Division Star of the Week: Matt Seidel, forward, Kenai River Brown BearsKenai River forward Matt Seidel, 18, increased his scor-ing streak to fi ve games with another great performance this weekend as the Brown Bears took two of three game at home from the Fresno Monsters.

NASCAR
NOTEBOOKBusch makes last race in No. 51
Kurt Busch had an interesting ending to histime driving the No. 51 Chevrolet owned by JamesFinch. Busch ran with the leaders most of the day,and was out front when he ran out of fuel and wasknocked off the track. Then he was parked byNASCAR for driving off with a safety worker’sequipment on the back of his battered car.
“I got out of the car and surveyed the damage,saw that it could still roll, so I jumped back in,”Busch said. “I remembered with these enginesthey will run at 20 percent of fuel pressure to getit back to the garage. So I tried like heck.”
He said the incident doesn’t surprise him.“This is the way my life works,” he said. “I am
leading, I wreck, I run out of gas, I’m still thatcompetitive guy that tried to get back in the race,and now NASCAR is yelling at me because I don’thave my helmet on and I’m trying to get it to thegarage so the guys can work on it …
“This is my life. I’m not complaining I putmyself in a lot of these situations, but it’s on togood things now moving forward. I got all the badluck out of the way. This year has been a greatyear to test me in every way.”
Busch takes over the No. 78 Furniture RowChevrolet this week at Charlotte, N.C., while itscurrent driver, Regan Smith, gets into the No. 51vacated by Busch.
Sponsorship deals announced Two top-tier Sprint Cup drivers had announce-
ments on the sponsorship front last week.Tony Stewart revealed that Bass Pro Shops will
join Mobil 1 as the primary co-sponsor of his No. 14
Chevrolet beginning next season. Bass Pro Shopswill be the main sponsor for 18 races, while Mobil 1will be on the hood for 11 races, leaving nine raceswithout primary sponsorship at this point.
Stewart has had a relationship with Bass ProShops since 2001, beginning with his dirt LateModel car and branching out to his World ofOutlaws sprint car team. He’s also had Bass Proshops as an associate sponsor of his Cup teamsince 2009.
Bass Pro Shops has been the primary sponsor ofthe No. 1 Chevrolet driven by Jamie McMurray forcar owner Chip Ganassi.
Also last week, AARP announced that it hasextended its sponsorship of Jeff Gordon’s No. 24Chevrolet at Hendrick Motorsports through the2014 season. For the past two seasons, AARP hasused its NASCAR involvement to promote its“Drive to End Hunger” program.
The AARP says the program has led to thedonation of 13 million meals for hungry olderAmericans and has raised more than $17 million.
“It’s been a privilege to work with them andlearn about such an important cause and the factthat they are really making an impact,” Gordonsaid. “I think from the beginning of this relation-ship, we knew it’s not going to happen in one yearor even two years …
“I think this is a great sign that momentum isstill building and they know they need to continueto further that work. I love the fact that they’vechosen our team and Hendrick to do that.”
Busch apologizes to ToyotaKyle Busch issued an apology to the engine
builders at Toyota Racing Development in theaftermath of his scathing criticism of the enginecrew after he ran short of fuel and finished sev-
enth after leading 302 of 400 laps at DoverInternational Speedway.
Toyota officials expressed displeasure at Busch’sremarks. His crew members explained that theychose to tune their car for speed instead of fuelefficiency, and the way the race played out wentagainst their strategy.
“I made some remarks out of frustration on myradio at the end of last weekend’s race in Doverthat were very misguided,” Busch said in his state-ment. “I owe my friends at Toyota and TRD anapology. We have a great partnership with TRD,and they built me a motor that helped me leadover 300 laps and nearly lap the field.
“It’s just frustrating that the caution fell whereit did and suddenly it became a fuel mileage raceand we were set up for maximum horsepower.”
Kligerman: Long road to victoryCamping World Truck Series driver Parker
Kligerman has made the most of a mid-seasonteam switch. He was released by Brad KeselowskiRacing after 11 races, then signed on with RedHorse Racing and owner Tom DeLoach. Since thenhe has responded with two fourth-place finishes,two runner-up runs and now his first majorNASCAR victory, at Talladega last Saturday.
“As you know, it’s been a long road to get to thisvictory,” Kligerman said in his winner’s interview.“Two different teams and a lot of adversity, but Iwas put with some of the best people I’ve everworked with and some of the best people I’ve everraced with. And, it starts at the top with TomDeLoach (team owner) and this whole Red HorseRacing team.”
His race-winning truck was a proven one, thesame one that John King drove to victory atDaytona back in February.
The 24-car “Big One” crash on the lastturn of the last lap at TalladegaSuperspeedway on Sunday ramped up
the debate about the kind of racing that goeson at the giant track these days.
Despite NASCAR rules changes intendedto eliminate it, drivers routinely push eachother, since that’s the fastest way around.That often leads to major melees, such as theone triggered Sunday when Tony Stewart,running at the front of the pack, cut in frontof Michael Waltrip, who was fast closing witha push from the cars behind him.
The two cars collided and Stewart endedup in the air, bouncing off oncoming cars,while Matt Kenseth sped away to victory.
Jeff Gordon, who emerged from the messto finish second, said fans should love theslam-bang style of racing, and he doesn’tunderstand why there still are plenty ofempty seats at Talladega. The official atten-dance estimate was 88,000, the lowest inyears.
“From an entertainment standpoint, theyshould be lined up out to the highway outthere,” Gordon said. “That makes no sense tome.”
He said that if he was a fan, he’d like tosee a race like the one Sunday at Talladega.
“I want to see guys shoving one another,”he said. “I want to see the Big One at theend of the race, because guys are being soaggressive, and knowing that is not some-thing that as a fan you could ever imagineputting yourself into and sort of defying dan-ger.”
As a driver, he’s on the other side of thefence.
“I remember when coming to Talladegawas fun,” Gordon said. “I really do, and Ihaven’t experienced that in a long, long time.
I don’t like coming here. I don’t like the typeof racing that I have to do.”
He said balancing the desires of fans anddrivers puts NASCAR in a tough spot, buthe does long for the earlier style of restrictor-plate racing.
“I don’t have to be happy and be all excit-ed about coming to Talladega ... but I doremember times when the draft, and thethought that you had to put into it, the strat-egy working the draft and the cars in thelines, was fun,” he said.
Instead he described the racing of thepresent as “bumper cars at almost 200 milesper hour.”
“I don’t know anybody that likes that,” hesaid.
His Hendrick Motorsports teammate DaleEarnhardt Jr. indicated he doesn’t.
“If this is how we raced every week, Iwould find another job,” he said. “That is
what the package is doing. It’s really not rac-ing.”
Kenseth had to recover from a mid-raceincident in which he was knocked off thetrack to even be in contention at the end. Hesaid there’s no way for drivers to avoid bigwrecks.
“As you saw today and you’ve seen a lot oftimes, there is no safe place,” he said.
His car owner Jack Roush said he expectsto lose lots of equipment when the circuitvisits Talladega and Daytona, the two trackswhere restrictor plates are used to slowspeeds but also lead to the kind of tacticsthat drivers generally loathe.
“This car’s a write-off when you load it upin the truck to bring it to one of these restric-tor-plate races,” Roush said.
The wrecks like those at Talladega alsohave a way of scrambling the points stand-ings because drivers who wreck out earlyend up far behind in the points standings.
For instance, Gordon, despite finishes ofsecond, third and second in the past threeraces, is still 42 points out of the leadbecause of a crash in the Chase opener atChicagoland. In the past three weeks, he’sonly gained five points on leader BradKeselowski.
Still, he’s not giving up on his bid for afifth Cup title.
“Our team is doing a great job,” he said.“We’ve been performing really, really well.We can sit there and really get mad aboutwhat happened in Chicago, but the reality ofit is all we can do is go each and every weekand keep trying to put ourselves in positionto win and get top fives.
“It is certainly not over yet,” he said. “If wekeep doing this, I really think we might havea shot at it.”

Good Sam 500 at Talladega Superspeedway
1. Brad Keselowski 2,179 (finished seventh)He steered left and clear of the last-lap melee in
Turn Four and added nine points to his lead oversecond-place in the standings. “I just feel lucky tosurvive Talladega,” he said.
2. Jimmie Johnson -14 (finished 17th)Despite crashing hard on the last lap, he didn’t
fare too poorly since so many other drivers alsowrecked. “Fortunately my car I could still drive tothe finish so I passed a couple of guys that weresitting there on the bottom trying to get goingthemselves,” he said.
3. Denny Hamlin -23 (finished 14th) His strategy of laying back in an attempt to
avoid the Big One almost backfired because hewas still in the back as the field was within a mileof making it to the checkered flag without a majorwreck. But he came out OK and is still strong,points-wise. “We got a good finish based off of thewreck, but still it was a good solid day, and that’sall we could ask for is to not lose a bunch ofground,” he said.
6. Kasey Kahne -36 (finished 12th)He and Jeff Gordon were lined up to draft to the
front, but the Big One wreck cost Kahne at theend.“You can feel it coming,you can see it coming,”he said of the crash.
5. Clint Bowyer -40 (finished 23rd) He had himself in position to win his third
straight fall race at Talladega, but after leading onthe restart with two laps to go, he was involved inthe Big One. “I got myself in the right situationwhere I wanted to be, just didn’t win,” he said.“I’mnot going to let it get us down.”
6. Jeff Gordon -42 (finished second) He said he doesn’t like racing at Daytona and
Talladega, but Sunday’s race at Talladega allowedhim to move up four spots in the standings, eventhough he only gained five points on the leader.
7. Tony Stewart -46 (finished 22nd)His move to block the fast-closing Michael
Waltrip put him up in the air and took out 19 otherdrivers. “It was a mistake on my part,” he said.
8. Martin Truex Jr. -48 (finished 13th) He almost survived the Big One, but still fared
better than some of his Chase competitors. “Wealmost made it through,”he said.“I got all the waythrough and the very last car came up off theapron spinning and just hit me in the door andspun me, and I had to get spun around and keepgoing.”
9. Greg Biffle -49 (finished sixth) He’s been on a points slide since ending the 26-
race regular season as the points leader, but hereversed that at Talladega and moved up twospots.
10. Kevin Harvick -49 (finished 11th) After running among the leaders for most of the
race, he ran out of gas and wound up 11th at theend,which was consistent with his previous Chasefinishes of 12th, 11th and 13th. His season aver-age is 12th.
11. Dale Earnhardt Jr. -51 (finished 20th) He was fast at Talladega as usual, but also
involved in the Big One at the end. That droppedhim four spots in the standings and puts him morethan a race behind the leader.
12. Matt Kenseth -62 (finished first) Despite winning at Talladega he’s still at a great
disadvantage points-wise because of mechanicalfailures in two previous Chase races.

NEW YORK (AP) — What seemed inevitable for the NHL has become reality. Th e league canceled the fi rst two weeks of the regular season last Th ursday, the second time games have been lost because of a lockout in seven years.Th e announcement was made in a two-paragraph statement. It isn't clear if those games will be made up, allowing for a com-plete 82-game regular season, if a deal can be struck soon with the locked-out players.Unable to work out how to split up $3 billion in hockey-related revenues with the players' association, the NHL wiped out 82 games from Oct. 11-24 — beginning with four next Th ursday, which would have been the league's opening night.“We were extremely disap-pointed to have to make this announcement,” NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly said in a statement. “Th e game deserves better, the fans deserve better, and the people who derive income from their connection to the NHL deserve better.“We remain committed to doing everything in our power to forge an agreement that is fair to the players, fair to the teams, and good for our fans. Th is is not about 'winning' or 'losing' a negotiation. Th is is about fi nding a solution that preserves the long-term health and stability of the league and the game. We are committed to getting this done.”Th e union countered last Th ursday by saying the NHL
forced the lockout onto the players instead of letting the season go on as planned.“Th e decision to cancel the fi rst two weeks of the NHL season is the unilateral choice of the NHL owners,” NHLPA Execu-tive Director Donald Fehr said in a statement. “If the owners truly cared about the game and the fans, they would lift the lockout and allow the season to begin on time while negotia-tions continue.“A lockout should be the last resort in bargaining, not the strategy of fi rst resort,” he added. “For nearly 20 years, the owners have elected to lock out the players in an eff ort to secure massive concessions. Nevertheless, the players remain committed to playing hockey while the par-ties work to reach a deal that is fair for both sides. We hope we will soon have a willing negotiating partner.”Although there have been ne-gotiations between the league and players in recent days — unlike a three-month break at the start of the 2004-05 lockout that forced the cancel-lation of the entire season — the two sides haven't gotten
any closer to a deal on core economic issues.“Obviously, (cancellations)

Hasek Gives Up Hope Of Return
PRAGUE (AP) — Veteran goaltender Dominik Hasek appears to be done with ice hockey aft er giving up hope of returning to the NHL again.Th e 47-year-old goalie resumed training ahead of this season hoping to get picked up by an NHL club, but told Czech daily Sport on Tuesday that it is ''very unlikely'' he would play again aft er no team off ered him a contract amid the current lockout.Known as the ''Dominator,'' he was twice named the NHL's most valuable player, and took home the Vezina Trophy six times.Hasek announced his retirement in 2002 aft er winning his fi rst Stanley Cup with the Detroit Red Wings, but came back and then retired from the NHL again in 2008.He then led his hometown club Pardubice to the Czech league title and then played a season for Spartak Moscow in the KHL.
Landeskog Heads For Sweden
STOCKHOLM (AP) — Colorado Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog says he is headed home to Sweden to play for second-division Djurgarden during the NHL lockout.Landeskog wrote on Twitter on Wednesday that he was ''excited to get back on the ice infront of family and friends.''Stockholm-based Djurgarden says in a state-ment that it has reached a verbal agreement with Landeskog for the duration of the NHL lockout.Landeskog played for Djurgarden before being picked second overall in the draft last year, and the 19-year-old left winger was named Colo-rado's captain in September, making him the youngest player ever to lead an NHL team.Th e Swede says he will miss the Avalanche fans, describing them as ''one of a kind.'' He says he hopes to return to Denver's Pepsi Center ''as soon as possible.''

2012 NFL Standings(Through Week 5)
By Antonio GonzalezAssociated Press
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Joe Montana never did it. Neither did Steve Young or Y.A. Tittle. Even the architect of the West Coast off ense, Bill Walsh, could only imagine such a massive mark.Of all the Hall of Fame quar-terbacks and coaches in the history of the San Francisco 49ers, leave it to Alex Smith and Jim Harbaugh to set a new standard.Smith threw for a season-high 303 yards and three touchdowns, Frank Gore ran for 106 yards and a score, and the 49ers amassed a franchise-record 621 yards in blowing by the Buff alo Bills 45-3 on Sunday.San Francisco also became the fi rst team in NFL history with 300 yards passing and 300 yards rushing.''Very cool,'' Smith said. ''When you think of the 49ers, you think of great of-fense.''Michael Crabtree (seven catches for 113 yards) and Vernon Davis (seven catches for 106 yards) each eclipsed the century mark to pull San Francisco (4-1) into a tie with Arizona for the NFC West
lead. Even Randy Moss, rare-ly targeted in his comeback, caught a pass for 11 yards.Smith, the 2005 No. 1 overall pick out of Utah, threw TD passes of 43, 28 and 10 yards and surpassed 300 yards passing for only the third time in his career - and fi rst in a victory. Th e last time came when he had 309 yards in a loss at Philadelphia two years ago — ''a completely diff erent world,'' he said — in former coach Mike Single-tary's fi nal season.''Quarterback was near per-fect,'' Harbaugh said.Th e Bills again found them-selves on the wrong side of a 49ers record — and quite a
few others, too.Rian Lindell kicked a 31-yard fi eld goal in the fi rst quarter before the 49ers scored the fi nal 42 points to hand Buf-falo (2-3) its second straight embarrassing loss. San Fran-cisco's previous best was 598 yards in a 34-31 loss to the Bills on Sept. 13, 1992, which also was Buff alo's worst.Ryan Fitzpatrick threw for 126 yards and an intercep-tion, and the Bills rushed for only 89 yards, most with the game well out of hand once again.''Th ey fl at-out dominated the game from end to end,'' Fitzpatrick said. ''We just got beat bad by a better team to-day. Th ere was no fancy stuff . Th ey are who they are and they just played better.''Far better.Th e Bills allowed 45 second-
half points and 580 total yards in a humiliating 52-28 home loss to New England last week. Beginning a two-week road trip, Buff alo's baggage also traveled to the West Coast.Since taking a 21-7 lead against the Patriots, Buff alo has been outscored 90-10. Th e Patriots and 49ers com-bined to gain 1,201 yards. And with the 49ers shredding the New York Jets last week, they've outscored opponents 79-3 in their last two games.Th e Bills became the fi rst team to give up at least 550 yards in consecutive games in the same season since the 1950 New York Yanks.''I have no answers and no excuses,'' beleaguered Bills coach Chan Gailey said. ''I don't have the answers and I have to fi nd the answers. Th at's my job.''With the Bills unable to slow anybody down on defense, San Francisco abandoned its usually conservative game plan to deliver a scintillating show in the air.Smith, who sprained his middle fi nger in the fourth quarter, completed 18 of 24 passes. He also had a perfect 158.3 passer rating in the fi rst half, when he threw for 237 yards — a career best for a half.Th e longest completion Smith had in the fi rst four weeks was for 29 yards. In the fi rst

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — Th e Arizona Cardinals' already embattled ground game has taken a severe blow with the announcement that running back Ryan Williams is out for the season with a left shoulder injury that will require surgery.Th e Cardinals already are with-out Beanie Wells until at least Th anksgiving weekend because of a severe turf toe injury.Th e hard-luck Williams missed all of his rookie season a year ago with a torn patella tendon. He injured his shoulder on a hard hit during last Th ursday night's loss at St. Louis.Th e injury leaves Arizona with running backs LaRod Stephens-Howling, William Powell and Alfonso Smith. Stephens-Howl-ing missed the last two weeks with a hip fl exor.Th e Cardinals are 4-1 despite their virtual lack of any ground game. Th ey rank 31st out of 32 NFL teams in yards rushing per game at 63.4. Only Oakland's 60.8 is worse.Coach Ken Whisenhunt revealed the extent of the in-jury in his brief meeting with reporters following the team's light workout on Monday.
''Th e timetable for recovery is probably three months, so that puts him out for the season,'' Whisenhunt said.Asked if the team would look to bring in a running back from elsewhere, he said, ''We'll look and see.''''I feel good about the guys that we've got,'' the coach said. ''We're always going to look to get better at every position. If that opportunity is there, then we'll certainly try to act on it.''Arizona opened the season believing that its ground game would be a strength with Wells and Williams providing a solid 1-2 punch. Now that punch is down to 0-0.''Th at's the NFL,'' Whisenhunt
said. ''Teams have to fi ght through adversity and keep going. We've done a good job of that the fi rst fi ve weeks of the season, and now we've got another challenge, but that's OK. We'll work through it.''Wells was off to a slow start as he recovered from knee sur-gery, then went down with the toe injury in week 3 against Philadelphia. Th e Cardinals placed him on the NFL's new injured reserve/designated for return list. Th at rule requires Wells to miss the next fi ve games. He can return for Arizona's home game against St. Louis on Nov. 25.Williams, a second-round draft pick from Virginia Tech
in 2011, moved into the No. 1 running back spot and had a strong second half against the Eagles. But he and any other running back who carried the ball has had a tough time in the two games since then as the Cardinals managed 28 yards rushing in an overtime victory over Miami, followed by 45 in Th ursday night's 17-3 loss to the Rams.Williams, who didn't take an NFL snap last season, had gained 164 yards in 56 at-tempts, an average of just 2.8 yards per carry. He has caught seven passes for 44 yards.''I feel horrible for Ryan,'' Whisenhunt said, ''but what I told Ryan when we sat down was that at least he won't have to deal with it through an off season. He'll be able to go through the off season program. He'll be able to go through practices and that will get him in better shape and ready to go next year.''Th e injury is more bad news for quarterback Kevin Kolb. Th e lack of a running threat had been a major contribu-tor to the intense pressure from the pass rush faced by Kolb and his team's struggling off ensive line. Kolb has been sacked 17 times in the last two games, eight by Miami and nine by St. Louis.
Arizona already lost running back Beanie Wells for an extended period of time. They've now shelved capable backup Ryan Wil-liams for the year by placing him on IR. LaRod Stephens-Howling will likely get the start in the backfi eld against Buffalo. (AP Photo)

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Th e NFL is investigating whether Buff alo defensive end Mario Williams has an injured left wrist.Williams has not been on the Bills' injury report this season despite what he claims has been a wrist injury that has bothered him all season. But the team says he has not missed any practices or game
time.NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Sunday that ''the club says he is not injured. We will follow up this week to obtain a formal explanation.''Williams is the highest-paid defensive player in NFL his-tory, signing a $100 million contract as a free agent in the off season. He has not played well for Buff alo and has just 1 1/2 sacks.Buff alo (2-3) plays at Arizona (4-1) on Sunday.

played every bit as well as the LSU team that overwhelmed the Bulldogs, 42-10, in last year's SEC title game. Con-tinuing that level of play is the big question, Richt said.“Th ere are still some mighty big tests for them as there are for all of us in our league,” he said Sunday.Georgia linebacker Jarvis Jones said the Gamecocks quickly got ahead by three touchdowns in the fi rst quarter and the Bulldogs couldn't catch up.“Being down 21-0 in the fi rst quarter, that's hard” to come back from, Jones said. “Espe-cially by a team in the SEC.”Spurrier has a rule in place, like many coaches, that his staff and players get 24 hours to celebrate success or fl ush
out failure. Th en it's back to work, no matter what hap-pened in the previous game.“Th at's the way this team works. Th at's the system coach Spurrier has in place and that's the way the players will handle it,” South Carolina defensive coordinator Lorenzo Ward said.It might be hard to totally forget this one, especially with happy students and fans on campus telling the Gamecocks how great they've been. Spurrier un-derstands and accepts that, too.Th e last time Spurrier's Game-cocks enjoyed this large a spotlight came in 2010 follow-ing a stunning 35-21 win over then top-ranked Alabama. South Carolina then lost a week later, 31-28, at Kentucky,
a defeat Spurrier blames more on a stalled second-half of-fense than players not being ready. “I blame the coaches for that one,” he said.Th is time, the Gamecock feature better, older leaders who've kept the team even-keeled through the high times and the low. “You really don't ever know anything until you go play the game,” Spurrier said. “But we've got some good leaders.”Leaders, Spurrier thinks, who'll keep locked on to the next opponent while under-standing that success won't guarantee anything beyond that. “We do have a chance for a big year,” Spurrier said. “If we continue on doing what we're doing.”
clubhouse and began focus-ing on roster management, particularly as it related to the pitchers, and evaluating the coaching staff and the rest of the players. Tracy's re-sponsibilities were narrowed to game management and meeting with the media.''I thought we worked togeth-er fi ne,'' Geivett said. ''I don't think at any time since Aug. 1 or even before that, we've had some type of diffi culty work-ing together.''Geivett said that structure will remain in place next season but he said he didn't think that would be an issue in his search for a new man-ager, either.In addition to altering their front offi ce, with general
manager Dan O'Dowd fo-cusing his attention on the minor leagues and player development, the Rockies last summer adopted a radi-cal four-man rotation and a 75-pitch limit with several designated piggyback reliev-ers, an experiment that lasted two months.Geivett said the Rockies will return to a traditional fi ve-man rotation next season with pitch limits determined on a case-by-case basis, ''although I don't think we'll ever go back to the days of 120 pitches.''''I'm sure it'll come up'' in the search for a new manager, Geivett said of the four-man, 75-pitch experiment. ''But I mean, I don't see that being a
major topic of conversation, to tell you the truth, because we're not doing it.''Tracy, the fi ft h manager in club history, was given an indefi nite contract extension last spring but it guaranteed only his 2013 salary of $1.4 million as fi eld manager and really just represented the organization's desire to keep him in the organization in some capacity.Geivett said he hasn't met with members of Tracy's coaching staff to discuss their futures in Colorado.''Any time you change the manager, things can change,'' Geivett said. ''Right now, it's all undecided. But we do have coaches that it would be our intention to retain.''

The cooler temperatures we have had lately really make it feel like hunting season despite the early calendar date. So far I have only
gotten out a couple of times, partially due to the rain we got on Sunday. I don’t like to bow hunt in the rain because it usually makes track-ing a wounded deer a lot harder. The ironic part is that the deer are normally more active on those
rainy days. I have hunted twice this season and both times I saw deer and that is far better than last year. Last year the weather was extra warm during the fall. I think there were also other factors working against us besides the weather. The recent rain is actually a good thing;
I still know people who have dry water wells and the creeks remain on the low side, even after the rain. I would not be surprised to see a few steelheads starting to show up, especially in the larger creeks. I would expect the smaller tributar-ies to start having fish staging near
their mouths but still in the lake. If I were able to get out on lake I wound probably opt to go perch fishing not steel head fishing. Most of my friends have already winter-ized their boats for the year so I probably won’t get out there until next season.

Cattaraugus Creek is fl owing at about 108 cubic feet per second, and is the best option for steelhead anglers. Steelhead catches have been reported up through Gowanda, however the bite is far better in the lower section. Look for a fresh pod of steelhead to move in following tonight's rainstorms. All other Lake Erie tribu-taries are very low and clear. Few steelhead have moved in and settled into the larger holes (lower sections), but are very fi nicky. Lake Erie steelhead commonly hit natural baits like egg sacs and worms, fl ies such as egg imitations, streamers and bugger patterns, and lures like minnow-type stickbaits and in-line spinners. Anglers can also target steelhead from the Cattaraugus Creek break-wall or off creek mouths by casting spoons, spinners and stickbaits.
Favorable weather allowed yellow perch anglers to get out on Lake Erie last weekend, and limit catches were fairly common. Th e best
action was between Cattaraugus Creek and Sturgeon Point in 65-70 feet of water, although decent catches were reported in as shallow as 54 feet of water. Dunkirk anglers saw decent catches in 60-70 feet of water.As the boating season winds down, fewer smallmouth bass and walleye reports trickle in. However, it is typical for good numbers of bass and walleye to congregate in shallower zones in early fall. Anglers can target bass and walleye inside 35 feet of water, along the edges of rocky reefs and shoals such as Seneca Shoal, Myers
Reef, Evans Bar and VanBuren Reef. Trolling with worm harnesses and stickbaits or casting weight forward spinners tipped with worms are good bets for walleye. A drop-shot rig with live crayfi sh or shiners works well for small-mouth bass, but tubes or plastics that imitate crayfi sh, gobies and shiners also produce.
Chautauqua LakeIt has been a slow week for muskellunge, however fall is generally a good time to target musky on Chautauqua Lake. Some musky
anglers troll along weed edges in 10-16 feet of water, while others target suspended musky 20-25 feet down over 30-35 feet of water. Troll-ing with large, 51/2 to 8 inch minnow-type stickbaits (especially perch pattern) is a good bet. Fishing with tube jigs, plastics, crankbaits or live bait (golden shiners, leeches, crayfi sh) near weed edges are good bets for hungry bass.
Upper Niagara RiverTh e upper river becomes a great smallmouth bass option in fall as waters cool and bass are on the feed. Also, conditions are oft en more manageable than on the open lake and boat launches on the river remain open late into the fall. Target feeding bass just outside of weedlines. Drift ing with live golden shiners, crayfi sh, tube jigs or plastics are good bets for bass. Fall is also a good time to target muskel-lunge on the upper river. Drift ing along weed edges with large, 8-10 inch tube jigs or casting and retrieving large stickbaits are good bets.
Inland Trout StreamsFall is a good time to fi sh the inland streams as trout are on the feed and many other anglers have shift ed their focus to the Great Lakes' tributaries. Th e area streams have low, clear fl ows. Moving stealthily is key. Th ere are some light hatches of isonychia and blue-winged olives happening and fl y anglers see surface action on imitations as well as terrestrials. Fly anglers can also do well with streamer and bugger patterns in fall for aggressive trout.If you need more fi shing information or would like to contribute to the fi shing report, please call or e-mail Mike Todd (716-851-7010; [email protected]) or Jim Markham (716-366-0228; [email protected]).

a defeat Spurrier blames more on a stalled second-half of-fense than players not being ready. “I blame the coaches for that one,” he said.Th is time, the Gamecock feature better, older leaders who've kept the team even-keeled through the high times and the low. “You really don't ever know anything until you go play the game,” Spurrier said. “But we've got some good leaders.”Leaders, Spurrier thinks, who'll keep locked on to the next opponent while under-standing that success won't guarantee anything beyond that. “We do have a chance for a big year,” Spurrier said. “If we continue on doing what we're doing.”

College Gameday on your campus," he said. "You want to be that program that appeals to the audience that we're out recruiting. You want to be in that 'in' crowd. You don't want

half alone, he completed a 53-yarder to Davis that set up a fi eld goal by David Akers, a 43-yard touchdown to Kyle Williams and hooked up with Crabtree for 36 yards.Williams took the back-shoulder pass from Smith, spun away from a defender and ran the fi nal 10 yards free into the end zone. Williams fell to his knees, raised his arms and nodded to the sun-splashed crowd at Candlestick Park aft er giving the 49ers a 10-3 lead.Every time the Bills blew an opportunity — and they blew plenty — the 49ers capitalized.Backup quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who ran for 39 yards on four carries, fumbled on an end-around and Buff alo took over at its own 17. Two plays later, Patrick Willis stripped Scott Chandler, San Francisco recov-ered and Smith fl oated a 28-yard touchdown to Crabtree to put the 49ers in front 17-3 with 24 seconds to go before the half.''Everything about today was just amazing,'' Crabtree said.
A holding penalty on Buff alo's Jairus Byrd wiped out a punt return Leodis McKelvin
took for a touchdown in the fi rst quarter. Th e off ense failed to score any points aft er McK-
elvin returned a kickoff 59 yards. And aft er a 12-play, 75-yard drive that took nearly 6 minutes stalled in the second quarter, Lindell kicked a fi eld goal for Buff alo's only score.Smith led another touchdown drive that featured Kaepernick gaining 15 yards on a sweep and ended one play later when Gore dove over the pile for a TD that extended San Francisco's lead to 24-3.Chris Culliver intercepted an underthrown pass by Fitzpatrick just shy of the goal line to end Buff alo's best chance to reach the end zone all aft ernoon.Smith also tossed a 10-yard TD pass to Mario Manningham, Kaepernick ran 16 yards for a score and Anthony Dixon added a 3-yard run for the fi nal touchdown.''I'm not a big statistical guy, don't get caught up in it,'' 49ers off ensive coordinator Greg Roman said. ''But at the same time, just in the normal course of events to be able to throw up that kind of production, obviously we're doing something right.''
TOSS LOSS TO THE 49ERS, BILLS LEFT LOOKING FOR ANSWERS continued from pg 9
might have been expected but it's also disappointing because we set out to negotiate,” New York Rangers goalie Martin Biron said in a telephone interview. “We wanted to get a deal and wanted to avoid a work stoppage or any cancellations.“We're still working hard to fi nd a solution and fi nd a way to get the core economic stuff fi gured out with the league and getting a deal that is fair for everybody and lasts.”In the previous lockout, the NHL and the union didn't get together between early September and early December.Back then, the key words in the negotiations were salary cap, linkage and cost certainty. Commissioner
Gary Bettman and the owners were committed to getting a deal that linked team costs to revenues, so each club would know exactly how much it had to spend on payroll and what number it couldn't exceed.Th us a salary cap was born for the fi rst time in NHL history. Th e league produced record revenue during the seven years of that deal, which turned out much better for the play-ers than expected.Th ere are no major philosophical is-sues this time as there were with the salary cap fi ght, but the sides are far apart in fi nancial fi gures. Players re-ceived 57 percent of hockey-related revenue in the deal that expired Sept. 15, and the NHL wants to bring that
number below 50 percent — perhaps as low as 47 percent.Th e players' association, led by Fehr — the former baseball union chief — has rejected that idea.
“Th e leadership that we have with Don and his team is really trying to look at the big picture and not just a number,” Biron said. “We understand that there is some tweaking and some things that have to be fi xed in our proposal, but it seems that the owners are on a one-way mission to cut salaries.”Th e NHL claims the union hasn't done near enough to try to get closer to the league's proposal and appears willing to wait for the NHLPA to come around.Daly said the league had already lost $100 million in revenues from can-celed preseason games. Th e players will begin feeling the real sting when they don't get their fi rst paychecks of the season on Oct. 15.
In 2004, Daly announced Sept. 29 that there wouldn't be any hockey in October. New proposals and ne-gotiations in December and January did little to push the sides toward a settlement, and Bettman announced Feb. 16 that the season had been lost. It marked the fi rst time since a fl u epidemic in 1919 that the Stanley Cup wasn't awarded.“Unfortunately, the lockout was no surprise.” Fehr said. “Months ago, the owners made public their intention to lock out the players, and they did so the fi rst chance they legally could. Th ere was nothing the players could have done to prevent it — other than to agree to the enormous conces-sions the owners demand.”
