This year marks the tenth annual Local Music Showcase (LMS) by and for Infi nity Performing Arts in Jamestown. We had the oppor-tunity to speak with Stephanie Rogers, Infi nity’s site coordina-tor, to learn more about what’s being offered this year and what attendees can look forward to on
Saturday, Sept. 7 in downtown Jamestown.
Tell me about the LMS?
This year is a big anniversary for us. Music will begin at 6 p.m. and run until 2 p.m. in ten local venues downtown. The venues are: Mojo’s, Shawbucks, Cibo, Forte, Jamestown Skate Products, Labyrinth Press Company, The Reg Studio Theater, The Pub, The Wine Cellar and Infi nity.
We have a lot of fabulous support from a lot of downtown busi-nesses. We have a good rapport with them and we appreciate that they allow us to use their venue to raise funds for Infi nity.
Do all the proceeds go to benefi t Infi nity?
That’s correct. All of the bands donate their time, all of the venues donate their space, and all of the sound engineers donate
their time to run sound. It’s a $10 all-access wristband. We have presale tickets here at Infi nity, where people can get a ticket and then trade it in for a wristband that night, or they can purchase it at one of the venue doors that evening, or at the [Infi nity] Stu-dio between 4 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.
Is this your main fundrais-ing event?

Chautauqua Institution, the summer mecca recognized today for its rich educational and cultural experiences has, since 1874, attracted visitors seeking to experience lifelong learning in the recreational setting of beauti-ful Chautauqua Lake.
Started by Methodists min-isters Lewis Miller and John Heyl Vincent, it was fi rst called The Chautauqua Lake Sunday School Assembly. Today, it has evolved into a center for the fi ne and performing arts, known for its interfaith workshops, pro-
grams and lectures.
Chautauqua Institution holds onto its traditions and history, and as such, few of its build-ings or sites have been subject to change or removal. However, a roller coaster known as The Royal Scooter as well as The Seaver Gym expose a side of the Institution not generally known – and what might be deemed a little out of character by its stan-dards today.
Jon Schmitz, archivist and histo-rian for Chautauqua Institution, says “The Royal Scooter” was added to the grounds in 1885 as

2 CHAUTAUQUA STARFRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 2013
A few weeks ago, MTV aired its increasingly controversial Video Music Awards, or VMAs. In case you didn’t hear about it, you didn’t miss much. I’m not going to do much of a recap, especially since I didn’t watch it. Personally, I can think of about a million other things I’d rather do with my time, including getting a root canal without Novocain.
If you’re an information addict like myself, though, then you probably heard about the most provocative performance of the night, the singer Miley Cyrus stripping down to just about nothing and ‘danc-ing.’ Without getting into details, since I don’t even feel they’re appropriate to type, her actions were
not becoming of a lady. Unfortunately, that seems to be infatuated with; a sex-crazed society.
Since this performance, there has been an outcry for and against the awards show. People personally attacking Cyrus for her actions, and attacking MTV for ruining a “family friendly” show.
One quote I read was by a father of a 13 year old girl, shaking his fi st at Cyrus and blaming her for his daughter seeing such a sexual display of immoral-ity.
I tend to have a pretty blunt personality. Usually it works in my favor, but I’ve learned that I often need to run things past my wife before saying them aloud because people don’t always take things the way I intend to present them. The crutch to bear of a choleric per-sonality, I suppose. But this time, my wife spoke fi rst and I wholeheartedly agree with her sentiments.
To quote her:
“Not that I agree with the majority of things that are shown on TV, and no I did not watch the performances that are being talked about on every news page and so-cial media outlet, but why is everyone so mad at a chan-nel that can be expected to have inappropriate content?
“If you don’t want your child (or yourself for that matter) to be exposed to such things, then don’t watch them! It’s our re-sponsibility as parents to monitor what our chil-dren see and hear, and we should also guard our own eyes and ears.”
I couldn’t agree more.
As we slip deeper into an age where the TV takes an increasingly powerful role as the family babysit-
ter, parents seem to have come to expect the best of the writers and creators of television. Expecting that, just because a cartoon is a cartoon, it is acceptable for their child without proof-ing it.
To this day, for instance, I will not allow ‘Shrek’ to be played in my house. I will not allow my sons to see a transvestite bartender parading around as though there is nothing wrong with it. I will not allow shows played in front of my children without my know-ing about it, or without my permission.
Parents have shucked off responsibility for ease. I am blessed to have an incred-ible wife who stays at home with our boys and endeav-ors to raise them into godly children. As Christians, that’s our prerogative, our job description.
A parent’s job, by defi ni-tion, is to raise their chil-dren to be moral, produc-tive members of society. But in a society that is increas-ingly pushing away any semblance of a moral line between right and wrong, how can a parent do that?
As shows like the VMAs and other such things become more and more prevalent, and mark my words- they will, we, as parents, must do every-thing in our power to keep our children safe from it. God has blessed us with an incredible honor and responsibility in providing care and nurture for these sweet creatures. I do not in-tend to let anyone else raise my boys. After all, to quote scripture, “But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a heavy millstone hung around his neck, and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.”

Contributed ArticleOffi ce of Senator Catherine Young
Senator Catharine Young (R,C,I-Olean) announced that libraries in her dis-trict will begin receiving additional funding that she secured during this year’s legislative session.
Every library in Senator Young’s district will receive $6,800 disbursed through the State Education De-partment (SED).
Today’s libraries are home to after-school programs for children, host infor-mative public events and educational presentations, and provide Internet access and valuable resources to job seekers. They are such an important part of our communities and serve a critical role in providing people with the resources to further their education, search for a job, and pro-vide their children with a
safe environment to expand their learning.
Budget constraints often limit the ability of librar-ies to provide the services people have come to rely on, which is why this addi-tional funding is so impor-tant,” said Senator Young.
Senator Young has consis-tently earned high marks from library organiza-tions for her support of library funding in the State Budget, her sponsorship of pro-library legislation, and for voting in support of legislation that helps foster the success of community libraries.
“This was a challenging year for our state but I am proud to have stood up for our libraries. The demand for their services is on the rise and matter more now than ever. Our libraries make our communities bet-ter places to live and they should be supported and strengthened,” said Senator Young.

This week we are featuring “Bob” and “Skeeter.” Bob is a three-year-old coonhound mix. He is super sweet, loves to go for walks and likes other dogs. He needs a dog friend that will not be too bossy with him as he doesn’t like confl ict. He would do well in almost any home. Skeeter is a four-month-old short haired fellow that was born to a feral momma. He was trapped and tamed and now he loves people. He would do well in almost any home. He does get along with other cats. If you think either of these great pets, or one of their shelter friends, could be your new best friend, stop at the Strunk Road Adoption Center and meet them. You will be glad you did!

The United Ways of Northern and Southern Chautauqua County re-cently brought their annual request for 2013 campaign support to Chautauqua County employees, and asked that all those able to contribute any amount consider giving to this year’s effort. The United Way annually raises es-sential funds to support health, education, and income programs in our lo-cal communities. Through their programs, the United Way and its agencies are able to link people with the services, programs, and resources they need
most here in Chautauqua County.
United Way staff and campaign supporters met with County Executive Greg Edwards and CSEA Local 807/6300 President Steve Skidmore to encour-age the participation of all county employees in this year’s United Way cam-paign. Both Greg Edwards and Steve Skidmore noted that the United Way is an institution that has long supported Chautauqua County’s most worthy causes by helping citizens of all ages and walks of life. The United Way has asked the county to be a Pacesetter this year, asking for early support to get the campaign off to a good start.

The public is cordially invited to have a good time at the “Two Dog Night” event to benefi t the West-fi eld Memorial Hospital Foundation from 7 to 9:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 18, at 21 Brix Winery on Route 20 in Portland.
This very “fetching” event will include tasting three samples of 21 Brix’s superb wines, an auction of minia-ture ceramic dog pairs that have been uniquely styled by area artists and a wel-coming reception featuring fabulous appetizers, snacks and yummy desserts.
The artists who creatively interpreted these pint-sized replica dogs have done so to support the founda-tion’s efforts to enhance the hospital’s upcoming Emergency Department renovation.
“Two Dog Night” is an artistic endeavor that not only duplicates Sailor and Canton, the large, cast-iron Newfoundland dogs on the front lawn that vigilantly watch over the hospital, but also contributes to the WMH Foundation’s 2013 Campaign, which raises funds to purchase hospital equipment.
In addition, also available will be posters of Westfi eld landmarks for sale in two sizes: 16” x 20” for $20 and 11” X “14 for $10.
A major sponsor for the evening is Ruth Ann Raines of Westfi eld in honor of her 15-year-old dog, Jake. There still is time for anyone who also would like to be a spon-sor to honor your dog or because you would like to support the foundation on its 35th anniversary.
The evening begins with a reception from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. followed by the
auction of the dogs from 8 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Ad-mission is $25 dollars per person. Take a ‘paws” in your schedule to be a part of this event, which in-cludes friends, food, drink and fun!
In addition to the photo
accompanying this invita-tion, the artists’ miniature dogs to be auctioned can be found on the foundation’s web site, www.westfi eld-hospitalfoundation.org. For further information or to submit a bid, call the foundation offi ce at 716-793-2338.

Cornell Cooperative Extension of Chautauqua County announces that Visit the Farm Day will be held on Saturday, Sept. 21 at one of our outstanding local dairy farms, Coun-try Ayre Farms, LLC, owned by the Kimball and Woodis families. The farm is located on 5644 Meadows Road in Dewit-tville, NY. The purpose of the event is to promote agriculture in Chautau-qua County, which is our number one industry in New York State. Visit the
Farm Day will run from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., and will feature a guided walk-ing tour through the farm. Visitors will also enjoy educational displays about other areas of agriculture, including grapes and live-stock, children’s activities, a Farmers Market, and free milk, string cheese, and grape juice.
The dairy was started 40 years ago by Richard and Joan Kimball, and is now a partnership with their son Seth Kimball and daughter and son-in-law Heather and Michael Woodis. The Kimball and Woodis fami-lies are currently milking 650 registered Holstein and Jersey cows, with each cow
producing an average of 78 pounds of milk per day. This is equivalent to 5,895 gallons per day, enough to provide fl uid milk to over 102,000 people per year. They also crop 575 acres of corn and 800 acres of grass and perform some custom machine work for other farms in the area. The farm employs nine full time employees. Country Ayre Farm, LLC is home to a state of the art nutrient management system, allow-ing the farm to manage nu-trients in an environmen-tally safe way. The family is excited to share with the public the ways the farm is protecting the water system of Chautauqua County.
Chautauqua County is home to 1,648 farms, with 235,858 acres in agricul-tural production. We rank fi rst in the State for number of farms, tenth in the State for total value of agricul-tural products sold, and elevnth in the United States for grape production. Milk and grapes continue to be the leading agricultural products in Chautauqua County.
Admission and parking is free and the event will oc-cur rain or shine. For more information, call Cornell Cooperative Extension at 716-664-9502 or visit us on Facebook at Chautauqua County Visit the Farm Day.

4 CHAUTAUQUA STARFRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 2013
By Dodi Kingsfi eldStar Contributing Writer
Dubbed by ScienceDaily as “gender equality’s fi nal frontier”, the division of household chores in a relationship continues to remain unequal between men and women, de-spite the strides made in equality for the past one hundred years. For many women, the distribution of household chores between herself and her spouse is a real bone of contention and can even cause some women to consider ending a relationship. In fact, the sharing of household duties has risen to number three in importance for a happy marriage according to a 2007 Pew Research Poll. Is a clean house really so im-portant that some women are willing to divorce their husbands over whether he empties the dishwasher on time, folds the towels correctly or vacuums the carpet on the wrong day of the week? Apparently so, but for others, sharing household duties success-
fully requires work, just like the relationship itself, and for those that do, their marriages are happier as a result.
How did the division of household chores become such an important factor in today’s marriage? Not so many generations ago, women were primarily the stay at home moms and performed domestic duties as their contribution to the household. The man was the typical breadwinner and the woman took care of the house and raising the children. Once women entered the workforce and families required dual income households to survive, maintaining the house became a second job after the day job. For men, their responsibilities hadn’t changed. For women, they had to fi gure out how to do it all: work part-time or full time way from home, see to the kids needs, and take care of the household. But with the introduction of equal rights and women’s rights, women began to speak up and men began to step up. The change didn’t occur overnight, it was gradual. Despite today’s man doing more than twice the household duties that his father or grandfather did, for many of today’s women, it still doesn’t seem enough. How can that be?
Lots of men share in the household responsibili-
ties and still do guy jobs like yard work, household maintenance and car fi xing. Some men have become stay at home dads, swapping roles with their higher wage earn-ing spouse and opting to fulfi ll the roles of child raising and domestic duties, normally assumed by the stay at home parent. Yet, sharing of household duties remains a source of marital strife in many marriages. The spouse may feel that
the work should be evenly distributed and isn’t, one spouse may be more criti-cal of the other regarding the ways that chores should be done, or it becomes a parent-child dynamic in the marriage as it relates to chores. There are always those that feel laundry, cooking and cleaning are women’s work and refuse to have their masculinity challenged, but for the most part, today’s man has no problem standing alongside
his woman in the kitchen doing dishes or the laundry room folding clothes.
As mothers, it’s our respon-sibility to teach our sons to do household chores alongside their sisters or father. As wives, it’s our responsibility to ask our husbands for help when we feel overwhelmed so they can share in the household duties and to also assist them in their guy duties that we often avoid at all costs, making us just as
guilty. As partners in rela-tionships, it’s our responsi-bility to communicate our needs and expectations, to respect each other for our individual contributions and to thank each other for our support, love and shar-ing of life’s experiences.
It’s all in our perception of the equal distribution of work. Rome can’t be conquered in day; it will be more like one dish at a time.

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with a con-dition that requires surgery, choose WCA Hospital for robotic surgery, a revo-lutionary new procedure that offers the most precise operation available with minimal scarring, a faster recovery time, and quick return to normal activities.
What is robotic sur-gery?
In the skilled hands of expert and experienced board-certifi ed surgeons, credentialed in robotic surgery, the new, state-of-the-art da Vinci® Surgical System at WCA Hospital offers a revolutionary alter-native to traditional open surgery as well as conven-tional forms of minimally invasive surgery.
Your doctor controls the surgical system, which
translates his hand move-ments into smaller, more precise movements of tiny instruments inside your body. Though it is often called a “robot,” robotic surgery cannot act on its own – the surgery is per-formed entirely by the ex-pert skills of your surgeon. Together, the surgical sys-tem and instruments allow your doctor to perform sur-gery through tiny key-hole incisions or a single site incision. As a result, you are able to get back to your life without the recovery or scars that usually follow major surgery.
What are the patient ben-efi ts of robotic surgery?
• Minimal scarring
• Minimal pain
• Faster recovery
• Short hospital stay
• High patient satisfaction
“I had robotic surgery at WCA and was amazed how I was able to get right
back on my feet after sur-gery and return home the same day,” said Alisha Hill, a stay-at-home mom who elected for robotic gallblad-der surgery. “Today, I am eating normally again and resumed all of the activities that I enjoy in my life. I would defi nitely recom-mend robotic surgery to anyone needing surgery.”
What robotic surgery procedures are performed at WCA?
• Gallbladder removal
• Colon resection
• Removal of the adrenal glands
• Hernia repair,
• Appendectomy
• Anti-refl ux procedures
• Prostatectomy, an opera-tion to remove the prostate gland.
“Robotic surgery is the newest advancement in minimally invasive or laparoscopic surgery,” says

CHAUTAUQUA STARFRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 2013 5
By Katherine ColemanStar Contributing Writer
As society has gained a better understanding and awareness for Autism Spec-trum Disorder (ASD) and the adversities it creates, people have begun stepping up to the plate in order to make a difference in these peoples’ lives, starting at childhood.
Amy Smith and Madeline Drago founded Ready, Set, GROW with Autism in April of 2011 and since then have ignited hope and prog-ress for families in surround-ing communities. Their organization was solidi-fi ed after the tragic school shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in December, which took the life of Dylan Hockley, a six year old with ASD who died in the arms of his one-on-one aide after being shot.
Both Smith and Drago are one-on-one aides at Temple Elementary School in Falconer, and this cor-relation shook them deeply, hitting close to their home and hearts. The main goal of Ready, Set, GROW is to improve the lives of children affected with this disorder and offer support, advocacy and education.
Smith explained, “We can’t get into their world. We’ve tried and it just doesn’t work.
We need to get them in our world and this is going to help.”
On August 19, Smith and Drago were able to put two years of work onto the table, awarding four children with ASD iPads through Dylan’s Gift iPad Program, a non-profi t scholarship program that provides support through the Proloquo2Go application. This assists in communication develop-ment and abilities through a sequential word and image platform, which is so helpful because communication is the greatest barrier for many families raising a child with ASD.
Jaxon Moore is one of the children that were awarded an iPad. His father, William, commented, “The level of intelligence is there and a lot of people don’t see that and classify them under one branch of a tree, and it’s not like that. There are so many different degrees to it.”
It is apparent that there is still a lot of space for society to grow in terms of under-standing and being aware of this disorder. Outsiders may still stigmatize and underestimate ASD and how gifted these children truly are. They need a voice, and through this new technology, they can now convey their needs, wants and express themselves more fully. This is so fortunate
for parents who struggle to understand what their child needs, like Debbie and Da-vid Long, who’s child Jeremy also received an iPad.
Debbie stated, “In his early years the education at that time didn’t know much about ASD and so we struggled to fi nd a program for him. This will help him communicate better so he doesn’t have to depend on us all the time.”
As humans, we convey so much through speech and its absence is an extraordinary boundary. This application gives hope and a chance to dig deeper into these chil-dren’s beautiful minds and hearts.
In terms of viewing ASD, Smith stated, “Be under-standing and be compas-sionate to us. It’s hard for us families and sometimes we feel isolated.” This may not be for long, with the rising statistics of people affected with ASD, doubling just in the past year.
Ready, Set, GROW is ready to embrace families who receive this diagnosis. Within 1-2 years they plan on enhancing the commu-nity with a support group. Smith explained, “We want somewhere we can go and cry if we need to cry and share our successes as well, and maybe it’s going to work for your kid, too.”
Drago plans on starting up a summer camp for these kids so they can join together and experience what non-dis-abled children do in a more conducive and understand-ing environment.
Smith commented, “I’m proud to be a part of this
community and I want oth-ers to feel that too. I don’t want it to be a stigma; we’re embracing this.”
As a community, that embracement can spread. Whether personally af-fected or not, these families and kids are all around and
there are many ways to help. Getting involved with Ready, Set Grow with Au-tism can be done by going to www.RSGwithAutism.com or emailing [email protected] Every helping hand counts towards these children’s lives and growth. Ready, set, GROW!

Cornell Cooperative Extension of Chautauqua County announces that Visit the Farm Day will be held on Saturday, Sept. 21 at one of our outstanding local dairy farms, Coun-try Ayre Farms, LLC, owned by the Kimball and Woodis families. The farm is located on 5644 Meadows Road in Dewit-tville, NY. The purpose of the event is to promote agriculture in Chautau-qua County, which is our number one industry in New York State. Visit the Farm Day will run from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., and will feature a guided walk-ing tour through the farm. Visitors will also enjoy
educational displays about other areas of agriculture, including grapes and live-stock, children’s activities, a Farmers Market, and free milk, string cheese, and grape juice.
The dairy was started 40 years ago by Richard and Joan Kimball, and is now a partnership with their son Seth Kimball and daughter and son-in-law Heather and Michael Woodis. The Kimball and Woodis fami-lies are currently milking
650 registered Holstein and Jersey cows, with each cow producing an average of 78 pounds of milk per day. This is equivalent to 5,895 gallons per day, enough to provide fl uid milk to over 102,000 people per year. They also crop 575 acres of corn and 800 acres of grass and perform some custom machine work for other farms in the area. The farm employs nine full time employees. Country Ayre Farm, LLC is home
to a state of the art nutrient management system, allow-ing the farm to manage nu-trients in an environmen-tally safe way. The family is excited to share with the public the ways the farm is protecting the water system of Chautauqua County.
Chautauqua County is home to 1,648 farms, with
235,858 acres in agricul-tural production. We rank fi rst in the State for number of farms, tenth in the State for total value of agricul-tural products sold, and elevnth in the United States for grape production. Milk and grapes continue to be the leading agricultural products in Chautauqua
County.
Admission and parking is free and the event will oc-cur rain or shine. For more information, call Cornell Cooperative Extension at 716-664-9502 or visit us on Facebook at Chautauqua County Visit the Farm Day.

Eileen Poiley, MS, is the Director of Education at the USF Health Byrd Alzheimer’s Institute in Tampa, Florida and has been on the faculty of the University of South Florida since 1987 specializing in Alzheimer’s. Ms. Poiley will be giving a presenta-tion on September 19 at 2 p.m. at Tanglewood Manor on “Strategies for Manag-ing Behaviors and Com-municating with a Person with Alzheimer’s.”
Ms. Poiley’s presentation will highlight effective
approaches to respond to behaviors and keep your loved one calm; tips and techniques to prevent or re-duce behaviors and interact with a person with Al-zheimer’s; how to commu-nicate with a person with Alzheimer’s and related dementias; and what is meant by cognitive loss and how it affects behavior.
The Byrd Institute is dedicated to the preven-tion, treatment and cure of Alzheimer’s. Its mission includes Alzheimer’s re-search, diagnostic evalu-ations and patient care, education and support to caregivers and health
care providers.
According to the Alzheim-er’s Associations “2013 Al-zheimer’s Disease Facts and Figures,” there are over 5 million Americans who are living with Alzheimer’s dis-ease and in 2010 there were 83,494 Americans who died of Alzheimer’s. This type of dementia can cause problems with memory, thinking, and behaviors, which can make it hard for individuals who suffer from it, especially the elderly, to complete daily tasks.
Alzheimer’s can be very trying on those suffering from it as they may feel frustrated and confused by
their inability to remember names, events, and dates. They may also feel suspi-cious of others and threat-ened by losing their inde-pendence because of their inability to complete daily tasks on their own.
To reduce the feeling of isolation that is often felt by individuals suffering from memory loss and their caregivers, one local option is the Memory Café, which is located at Com-fort Today on 17 Gifford Ave. in West Ellicott. The Memory Café is free and is open twice each month. It is open to all people dealing with memory loss
and their caregivers on the fi rst Tuesday of each month from 2 to 3:30 p.m. and it is open to caregivers only on the third Tuesday of each month from 2 to 3 p.m.
To learn about additional support groups and services
in our area for individuals suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, residents can also contact the Chautauqua County Offi ce for the Ag-ing at (716) 753-4471, (716) 661-8940, or (716) 363-3865.

nationally Recognized Leader in alzheimer’s coming to tanglewood manor
Dear Pastor, will God help me even though I made some really big mistakes?
There’s an old saying, “You’ve made your bed, now you’ll have to lie in it.” It’s true that our bad choices can lead to hardships in our life (Proverbs 13:15) and that our mistakes can have signifi cant consequences. This is why God wants us to make good choices so that our lives can be blessed and not burdened with results of past missteps.
But what should happen when we do make a mistake or a bad choice? Should we fall into hope-lessness and resign ourselves to
bearing the guilt and consequenc-es of these poor choices? Will God help us out of the ditch that we dig for ourselves? We can answer these questions with one wonder-ful word…mercy! The Bible says that God is a God of mercy whose mercy endures forever (Psalm 136).
What is mercy? If we examine the concept of mercy, we see that basi-cally, mercy is not getting what we deserve! We read about the history of Israel in the Old Testament. Whenever God’s people cried out for mercy, they received it! Israel had a covenant with God that would bless them if they obeyed
and open the door for calamity if they disobeyed. Psalm 107 gives a summation of hardships for the people of Israel due to their disobedience. Hunger, imprison-ment, bitter labor, and illness came their way because of their disobedience to God’s commands. Even though they deserved the bad consequences of their ac-tions, they cried out to the Lord for mercy. What happened? Did God say “deal with it” or “you got what you deserve”? No! God is a loving God Who desires to bless His children. Again and again He delivered them from their self-imposed troubles. The Bible tells
us that Israel is an example to us Christians (1 Corinthians 10:1-6).
You may have made some mis-takes, but God’s goodness and mercy are more than enough to get you out of any mess you may have gotten into! If you want to set your life right, go before God and repent of your mistake. And ask Him to help you be better. If He needs you to do any “undoing” of your mistake…do it quickly! God is a God of eternal and unlimited forgiveness and mercy. We can never exhaust His mercy if our heart is truly sorry!

Home really is where the heart is. Upon retire-ment – when all of their children have moved out of the house – 90 percent of Americans age 60 and older choose to stay right where they are, according to 20 years of data from the U.S. Census Bureau.
And because so many Americans are aging in place, they’re looking for ways to make their homes safe and comfortable for the long term. With just a few modifi cations, retired couples can make their homes perfect sanctuaries for their golden years. Here are some modifi cation ideas to help you keep your heart right at home:
* Staying connected is im-portant for many seniors, especially if they aren’t able to get out of the house
as frequently as they used to. There are video/televi-sion systems and services available that allow you to chat with a person from a care program while sit-ting at your dining room table. Program staff can also monitor your house and contact a relative or emergency service if they notice you haven’t moved in awhile. Some couples enjoy the interaction they have with the person on the other end of the video cameras, while others ap-preciate knowing that if they were to fall or get sick, someone would notice and respond immediately.
* Independence is also very important for seniors, and this is especially true in the bathroom. Climbing over a bathtub wall becomes more diffi cult as people age, and can also make the bath-room very dangerous for slips and falls. A Zon Walk-In Bath has an easy step-
in, step-out design with anti-slip fl oors and internal grip bars that allow you to safely – and independently – bathe in your own home. Because the door opens and seals shut, this walk-in bath allows you to sit down prior to running any water, which can help prevent a slip or fall. Hydrotherapy jets also add additional health benefi ts, so you can comfortably soak as long as you want. Visit www.zonwalkinbaths.com or call (800) 501-0370 to learn more.
* Make your home eas-ily accessible. At least one entrance should be level with the walkway – you may need to build a ramp to accomplish this. Also consider changing the door handles to lever style so if a person is suffering from arthritis, they can still eas-ily open the door. Remote locks and a covered walk-way are also a good idea,
because you won’t have to be standing out in the ele-ments while you attempt to unlock the door with a key. The covering also helps prevent ice from build-ing up along the walkway. Finally, installing a good light at all the entrances
will allow you to easily see where you are going and any potential obstacles that might be in your way.
With a few modifi cations, your house can be a very comfortable and safe haven for many years to come.
And since it’s already a place you call “home,” why not enjoy it during your retirement years?

G.A. Family Services, part of the Lutheran organiza-tion, recently announced the addition of Samantha Vanstrom as Program Manager for the Jame-stown Foster Care Pro-gram.
“We’re very happy Sam has joined our team. Her experience with managing a non-profi t program and her experience empowering teens throughout the south-western New York area will hopefully help grow our offi ce and provide the opportunity to help more
young people in our area,” said Maggie Dreyer, Direc-tor of Community Based Services. “This foster care program focuses on youth who may have been in sev-eral foster homes or need some extra care. We have offi ces in Chaffee and West Seneca as well; Jamestown is our youngest and small-est program. We’re hoping to recruit, train and be able to support more families so that we all help more kids.”
The Jamestown Foster Care offi ce opened in 2009 and works primarily with youth from Chautau-qua County . All three of-fi ces work together though, covering all of Western
New York.
“It’s important to me and everyone involved in this program that young people are given every opportu-nity to heal, to grow and to create a better life for themselves. The families we work with really care about these kids, and some-times that is exactly what the kids have been miss-ing,” said Samantha. “I’m really glad I can continue helping kids that don’t nec-essarily get handed the best life from the get go.”
Samantha is a 2006 gradu-ate of Cornell University and holds both a Masters and MBA from the Univer-sity of Maryland University
College. She previously was the Senior Program Coor-dinator for Chautauqua, Cattaraugus and Allegany Counties Reality Check, the youth action program of the NYS Bureau of Tobacco Control. Origi-nally from Houston, TX, Samantha lives on a dairy farm in Kennedy with her husband Eric.

The Prendergast Library Art Gallery will present “Journey,” the artwork of Jerry P. Paduano, from Sept. 13 through Oct. 11.
“I call this show ‘Journey’ because I feel art has al-lowed me to take a creative journey. I am continually trying new mediums, tech-niques, and styles. Many artists settle on one way of doing things and continue to improve and master a particular form of art. I’m not there yet, and don’t know that I ever will be. I
like exploring,” he said.
There will be an opening reception from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 13, to meet Paduano and view his work.
“Because I work mostly from photographs, I draw images that spark my imagination, my memories or my emotions, and I hope they do the same for the viewer,” the artist said.
A lifelong resident of Chau-tauqua County, Paduano grew up in Greenhurst. He graduated from Maple Grove High School, where he was an art major.
He and his wife Suzette,
who have been married for 37 years, designed and built their home in Panama. They have three children and four grand-children.
“Lately I have enjoyed drawing people. Much of my work is inspired by my family, the grandchildren in particular,” he said.
“We love living in the country, the farms, the
wildlife and our animals, so many of my works, including the Amish, depict life around my house and in my neighborhood. Other portraits just make me wonder about the life of the subject, what they were thinking or feeling at the
moment their image was captured,” Paduano said.
Library hours to view “Journey” will be 9 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday.
The next Prendergast
Library exhibit will be In-dian Images, a collection of paintings by George Clever and traditional Delaware Indian cultural items.
The library is located at 509 Cherry St., Jamestown. For information, call 484-7135.

“Get out of the house—now!”
Joe Mailhot yelled to his wife and son to leave the home he had built with his own hands. The water was coming and it was coming quickly. The Mailhot’s, of Rochester, Vermont scrambled out as fl ood wa-ters from Tropical Storm Irene took over their home, collapsing portions of it and shifting the foundation signifi cantly. The fam-ily was able to escape to higher ground just in time, making their way through the dangerous water levels to reach safety. The water well that the couple had recently installed was a loss, and their home will need some major work to become livable again.
Why prepare? The Mail-hot’s experience has, unfor-tunately, been lived by resi-dents of southwestern New York many times in just the past few years. From Silver Creek to Gowanda, Sunset Bay to Olean, we have experienced signifi cant storm and ice-jam fl ooding in our area. If the Mailhot’s had prepared themselves for a fl ood, they could have salvaged more of their belongings. This is a lesson for all of us; prepare your-self and your family for that middle of the night evacua-tion. Have a game plan for getting out. Organize your essential survival items and documents into an easy-to-grab kit. And know how you will communicate or meet up with loved ones after you are safe.
On Wednesday, September 18, from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m., the American Red Cross of Southwestern New York
will host open house events in its Olean, Wellsville, and Jamestown offi ces to highlight September as “National Preparedness Month.” We will provide you with valuable informa-tion on how to prepare and thank our local com-munities for all they do to continue to improve our readiness. Please attend and learn more about pre-paredness.
The Mailhot’s don’t intend to leave their house. The American Red Cross was able to step in and provide help, including health checks and referrals to oth-er Vermont relief agencies that could offer assistance. If the family had prepared themselves for a fl ood, they could have salvaged more of their belongings. That is a lesson we here in south-western New York can learn from.

This is one of our biggest fundraisers of the year. It’s very necessary. Infi nity is completely funded by local grant money. We receive a small grant from NYSCA, but otherwise there’s no federal or state funding. It’s all grant writing and local contributions and people that like Infi nity that keep us running and help keep the creativity going with the kids. It’s defi nitely a great community event because it’s a celebration of Infi nity, but it’s also a celebration of community being able to help sustain this program.
Do a lot of Infi nity stu-dents go to the LMS to learn about the future of what they’re study-ing?
We certainly encourage our students that are old enough to be out and going to the venues that allow all ages. We do try to have all age venues available so it’s not just people having to go into a bar. We have a lot of younger kids that are engaged in the music com-munity and want to be able to go out and experience it. We also have students from Infi nity who will be performing in our café that night so the community members will get a chance to see what Infi nity and our students are doing, and get a glimpse of what they’re supporting.
Is there one particu-lar event that draws a larger crowd?
There’s really not. The great thing about LMS is that people are out and they’re moving all night long. You see tons of people on the street, which you
don’t always see in down-town Jamestown unless there’s a larger event going on. A lot of people have made this an annual outing for themselves. They wait until we release the sched-ule and they go through and make a plan of where they’re going to go and when. We try to encourage patrons to try new places they haven’t gone to before. It’s a good chance for the venues to get new clientele as well, getting people in their doors that maybe hadn’t thought about going. It’s the same thing for the bands; it gets some bands into some downtown estab-lishments where they might be able to make a connec-tion for a future gig. We try to make it a good experi-ence for everyone involved, getting more customers in the door, getting more audience to promote music to, all the while promoting the arts in the local com-munity.
Tell me a little bit about the poster design for this year’s show-case?
Gary Peters designs our poster every year. We thought that it really showed our cultural diver-sity here in Jamestown. It’s an iconic image. Infi nity is very diverse in the types of arts that we try to offer to our students. We thought that it was a great image to show our diversity.
The Infi nity Local Music Showcase will be held on September 7 from 6 p.m. to 2 p.m. in downtown Jame-stown. For a full schedule and list of venues and bands, visit www.infi nityp-erformingarts.org.

The Cathy and Jesse Mar-ion Art Gallery at SUNY Fredonia will opening the 2013-14 season with the exhibition “Xing Perspec-tives” from Sept. 6 to Oct. 13.
An opening reception is
planned for Friday, Sept. 6 from 7 to 9 p.m. Both the reception and the exhibi-tion are free and open to the public.
This international exhibi-tion from Dutch artists Jacqueline Kooter and Jan Theun van Rees will feature a site-specifi c instal-lation that will combine the two artists’ areas of interest
– people interacting with their environment and the perception of space in rela-tion to memory.
Kooter works in the medi-ums of painting and video. She is a graduate of The Amsterdam Academy for the Visual Arts.
She specializes in site-spe-cifi c large painterly instal-lations, which sometimes
are related to dance perfor-mances, and in the produc-tion of meticulously made short animation movies. In these movies she creates an imaginary world in paint, where human fi gures are moving around; sometimes real people (dancers) and sometimes cut out paper fi gures.
Van Rees is a self-trained
photographer who studied painting at the Academy of Visual Arts in Groningen, the Netherlands.
In 2007, van Rees pub-lished a photo book, “One Wall Away–Chicago’s Hidden Spaces,” commis-sioned by U.S. Equities in Chicago. He works as an art instructor for Central College of Iowa at the
Study Abroad program in Leiden, Netherlands.
Gallery hours are Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday 12 to 4 p.m.; Friday and Saturday 12 to 6 and Sun-day 12 to 4 p.m. The gal-lery, which is located on the main level of the Michael C. Rockefeller Arts Center, is closed Mondays and dur-ing campus breaks.

10 CHAUTAUQUA STARFRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 2013
By Phil BensStar Contributing Writer
On our computers, we have several different pieces of software that will play movies and music. You might use iTunes or Windows Media Player, those are generally the most popular and they are free. Over the years, I have found a media player that has worked well for me called VLC. I like it because it is free and it plays every kind of media fi le that I have ever wanted to play. In the past,
I would fi nd that the other mainstream media play-ers would have some types of movies or music that it could not read. This would sometimes cause problems, so when I discovered that VLC can play just about anything, that was rea-son enough for me to use it. Not only does VLC play Quicktime and Windows Media, but it also can serve as a DVD player on your computer. It has played very obscure music and video types for me, once I used it to play a video that I had recorded on my old fl ip phone! I couldn’t play that fi le through any of my other media players.
VLC is very versatile and can do many things with the use of plugins and it has a great open source community that develops new features in the soft-ware. VLC is open source, meaning that software developers volunteer and contribute to improving the software and adding more features. One of the fea-
tures that VLC has is the ability to stream hundreds of Internet radio stations. You can access these radio stations by opening VLC and clicking the View Menu, then click Playlists, and then click Internet. I like the Icecast Radio Directory, there are tons of channels from all over the world. You can listen to everything from classical music to country. Most of the stations are commercial free. For those that love to tinker with software and computers, VLC allows you to customize it and to do different things that you couldn’t normally do with mainstream media players. Plugins and exten-sions allow you to change the “look and feel” of the VLC interface with the use of various skins. Other plugins exist that allow for the viewing of Internet TV stations, most of these are foreign channels.
VLC also has some nice features that are built-in. The software has a graphic
equalizer that allows you to adjust bass and treble. You can choose from several presets or create your own custom setup. You can also broadcast an audio stream over your home network or over the Internet using VLC. In addition to all of this, you can convert media fi les too. The conver-sion is slow as it converts as the media fi le is being played. VLC can also display subtitles for those movies that have subtitles distributed with them, and you can adjust the speed of playback.
At times I use iTunes and Windows Media Player, they are decent pieces of software, but I always fi nd myself coming back to old reliable, VLC. You can download VLC for free at http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html. Just click the button for the installer package, install and then give it a try and see what you think.

Jamestown Public Schools has been approved by the United States Depart-ment of Education and the New York State Depart-ment of Education to serve breakfast and lunch at no charge to students in all Jamestown Public Schools elementary and middle
schools through the Uni-versal Free Meal Programs.
“Research shows that chil-dren who eat a well-bal-anced breakfast and lunch perform better in school,” said JPS Director of Food Services Walter Gaczewski. “This program supports child nutrition programs and increases breakfast and lunch participation while eliminating any barriers hindering a child(s) ability
to participate.”
The programs allow all students enrolled at JPS elementary and middle schools to be automati-cally eligible to receive free breakfast and lunch. Jamestown elementary and middle schools families do not need to submit a free or reduced meal application to be eligible.
“Many Jamestown children
rely on school meals,” said JPS Superintendent Tim Mains. “Our district has a 70 percent poverty rate. If we can increase school meal participation through this program at the elemen-tary and middle school level, we can make not only make progress in childhood hunger but also increase the likelihood of a child(s) success during the school day.”
Jamestown households with children attending Jame-stown High School who wish to apply for free or reduced meals must submit an application to determine their eligibility. Forms are available at www.jame-stownpublicschools.org on the Food Services Depart-ment home page. High School meal applications
can be submitted at any Jamestown school.
If a parent or guardian has questions regarding the Universal Free Meal Pro-gram or the requirements for Jamestown High School families, please contact the JPS Food Service Offi ce at 483-4398.

A series of free trial music classes are being offered by Growing with Music, a music education center for young children based in Fredonia. Intended for babies to kindergartners and their caregivers, the classes are being offered to promote better understand-ing of the many ways that making music benefi ts the growth and development of young children. The classes
are obligation free.
Trial Growing with Music classes are held at Bar-low’s Mill, 369 West Main Street, Fredonia on Mon-day, Sept. 9, Thursday, Sept. 12, and Saturday, Sept. 14. All classes begin at 10 a.m. and are 45 min-utes in length. Also, a free class is being held at the Community Room of St. Alban’s Episcopal Church, 4 Lake Street, Silver Creek on Wednesday, Sept. 11 at 10 a.m. Pre-registration is requested and can be done
by calling 673-9020.
Much research in child development points to the important role of music in the growth of children. Not only does making music provide a means for creative expression, but it also develops brain facil-ity. Participation in music at very young ages is often identifi ed as a factor in optimizing intelligence and enhancing potential. Studies show that children who participate in music do well academically. Music
aids language develop-ment, social development, emotional development and higher-order thinking skills.
Many families today play music for their babies because they have heard about music’s positive ef-fects. Listening to music is benefi cial, yet it is but one aspect of music. Actually making music and moving to music are other impor-tant ways to aid the devel-opment of young children. There are simple ways to
play with music that nur-ture the whole child and bring happiness to both children and their caregiv-ers. Growing with Music’s free trial classes present musical play ideas from the internationally-acclaimed music curriculum, Music Together® that tailors mu-sic learning to the way that children learn—through play and repetition.
Often parents feel that their lack of musical talent inhibits them from making music with their child. The
Music Together curriculum takes families past that fear with fun, family structured, non-performance oriented activities. Multi-age group-ings in classes allow peer learning, safe boundaries for beginning socialization and enhances parent-child bonding.

Young musicians in the southwestern New York/
northwestern Pennsylvania region have a rare oppor-tunity: to perform classical music in an orchestra with a renowned professional
conductor.
Rehearsals for the Cham-ber Orchestra, the string players of the Chautauqua Regional Youth Symphony
(CRYS), begin on Satur-day, Sept. 14.
Under the direction of Maestro Bryan Ecken-rode, the Youth Symphony is composed of highly talented and motivated musicians ages 13 through college. The string play-ers will perform a Cham-ber Concert on Sunday, November 24, at 7 p.m. in Jamestown’s SS. Peter and Paul Church.
Rehearsals for the full Youth Symphony, includ-ing wind, brass and per-cussion players, and the Young Artists Orchestra of intermediate level musi-cians will begin Saturday, January 18, 2014, in Jame-stown’s Reg Lenna Civic Center. Prelude Strings, the beginning string orchestra, start rehearsals on Friday, January 10, 2014, on the Lutheran campus.
Last March the three or-chestras traveled to Pitts-burgh’s Heinz Hall to hear the Pittsburgh Symphony
Orchestra accompany a screening of The Wizard of Oz. A similar enrich-ment experience is being planned for the 2013-2014 season, possibly to hear the Rochester Philharmonic or the Cleveland Orchestra.
In the spring, the Youth Symphony has a Chau-tauqua Weekend. The students stay overnight at Chautauqua Institution’s Bellinger Hall, where they have intense rehearsals, coaching, and a good time socializing.
CRYS Music Director Bryan Eckenrode will conduct all three orches-tras in their Spring Gala Concert on Sunday, May 4, 2014, in the Reg Lenna Civic Center in downtown Jamestown.
Eckenrode made his Lincoln Center debut in 2003, returning in 2006. On the faculties of Canisius College, Niagara Univer-sity and Jamestown Com-munity College, he is also
the director of the string department at Villa Maria College, Buffalo, and prin-cipal cellist with the West-ern New York Chamber Orchestra and the South-ern Tier Symphony. He performs with several other orchestras and conducts the Warren (PA) Philharmonic Orchestra, the Buffalo City Strings, and the Vivace String Camp Orchestra at Houghton College.
Orchestra students are selected by teacher recom-mendation. Ensembles from the Youth Symphony can be available to perform for local groups.
For information about how your child or student can participate in the Chautau-qua Regional Youth Sym-phony as well as to sched-ule ensemble presentations by these young musicians, call (716) 664-2465, ext. 202, or visit www.CRY-outhSymphony.com.

At noon on Wednesday, September 18, the Audu-bon van will depart for Benezette, Pennsylvania, to visit the beautiful new Elk Country Visitor Center, dine at the Benezette Ho-tel, then view herds of elk.
Elk once roamed much of North America but be-gan to disappear from the East in the 1800s due to overhunting and habitat destruction. Reintroduc-tion programs beginning in the early twentieth century brought wild stock from western populations back
east. One strong popula-tion can be found in Bene-zette, PA, about 80 miles southeast of Audubon.
By September, males have regrown antlers and are attracting females with a bugling call. It is possible to observe skirmishes between males for territory and mates at this time of year, as well.
The fieldtrip will be hosted by Rick Rupprecht. Origi-nally from the Elk County region, Rupprecht has been observing the return of Elk to Pennsylvania for many years.
Participants should dress for comfort in the van and for the weather. Bring bin-oculars, cameras, snacks, water, and money for din-ner.
For more information about the Elk Country Visitor Center, with its 4D Disney-inspired theater, visit http://www.Experien-ceElkCountry.com/.
The trip is limited to 10 people in the van, and others can carpool. Re-turn will be approximately 10:30 p.m.
Cost is $35 or $30 for Friends of the Nature Center. Reservations with payment are required by Friday, September 13, 2013: call (716) 569-2345 or use the on-line form by clicking through the Program Listing at http://jamestownaudubon.org.

“Silk Scarves, Natu-ral Dyes, and Pounded Leaves” – that describes the workshop the Audubon Center & Sanctuary is of-fering where you can learn to create wearable art with a nature theme.
On Saturday afternoon, Sept. 21 from 1 to 3:30 p.m., poet, photographer, and fi ber artist Kathleen
Tenpas will demonstrate how to pound leaves onto naturally dyed silk scarves to create a one-of-a-kind piece.
Tenpas will give a mini lecture on how she used natural dyes to prepare the silk scarves for this work-shop. Then participants will take a stroll through the Ted Grisez Arboretum to collect leaves for their projects. After returning to the classroom they will transfer color from the
leaves to their scarves and learn how to fi x that color.
A resident of Clymer, New York, with a Master’s degree in Creative Writ-ing from the MacGregor School of Antioch Univer-sity, Tenpas has written for the Dave’s Garden and All Things Plants websites and the Jamestown Audubon Society. Her photographs have been displayed at Jamestown Community College, the Patterson Li-
brary, and the Wright Gal-lery at the Arts Council for Chautauqua County. One of her fi ber pieces was part of last year’s Women Cre-ate exhibit in Jamestown’s 3rd on 3rd Gallery.
Participants will need to dress for the weather for a brief walk outside and are welcome to bring leaves from home and a hammer.
Class size is limited, and the fee is $35 or $30 for Friends of the Nature
Center. Reservations with payment are required by Monday, Sept. 16, 2013: call (716) 569-2345 or use the on-line form by click-ing through the Program Listing at http://jame-stownaudubon.org.
Audubon education pro-grams are made possible in part through funding from the Carnahan Jack-son Foundation, the Jessie Smith Darrah Fund, the Holmberg Foundation, the
Hultquist Foundation and the Johnson Foundation.
The Audubon Center & Sanctuary is at 1600 Riv-erside Road, one-quarter mile east of Route 62 between Jamestown, New York, and Warren, Penn-sylvania.

The Audubon Center & Sanctuary’s new evening hours are proving conve-nient for visits by folks who work during the week and are busy on weekends.
On Thursday, September 12, the Nature Center will again be open until 9:00 p.m., as it is on the second Thursday of every month.
The Center’s three-story building contains a Nature Store and a collection of live animals, including fi sh, reptiles, and amphibians, plus interactive displays that inform and engage visitors of all ages.
Program Director Jennifer Schlick noted, “This is a great opportunity to enjoy Audubon’s Pollination Exhibit. The exhibit was completed before Time’s recent cover story, ‘A World Without Bees,’ and like the magazine, it explains how important these insects are to our food supply.”
Located at 1600 Riverside Road, one-quarter mile east of Route 62 between Jamestown, New York, and Warren, Pennsylva-
nia, Audubon has more than fi ve miles of beauti-fully maintained trails. Its 600-acre wetland preserve includes a native tree arbo-retum and several educa-tional gardens.
Admission to the Audubon Nature Center is $6 or free for children and Friends of the Nature Center.
There is no charge for viewing Liberty, Audubon’s non-releasable Bald Eagle, in her outdoor habitat be-hind the Nature Center or for walking the trails. With the discovery throughout Western New York of mos-quitos that carry infectious diseases, Audubon’s trails are now open daily only from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Normal hours for the Na-ture Center are Monday-Saturday, 10 a.m.-4:30 p.m. and Sundays, 1-4:30 p.m.
To learn more about the Center and its many programs, call (716) 569-2345 or visit http://jame-stownaudubon.org/.
The Audubon Nature Center is now open until 9 p.m. on the second Thursday of the month. September 12 would be a good time to visit the new Pollination Exhibit to learn more about the importance of pollinators, as Time magazine recently described in “A World Without Bees.”

By pounding the color of the leaf onto a naturally dyed silk scarf, you can make your own beautiful one-of-a-kind wearable artpiece.

a way for Chautauqua to keep people coming back and continue to compete with other vacation sites. Schmitz adds that the roller coaster was built on the incline behind the pres-ent day Norton Hall, which provided the gravitational pull the ride required, with the added benefi t of afford-ing a good view of the lake and Chautauqua grounds.
The Royal Scooter had a tract of 500 feet and its car reached a speed of 80 miles per hour. “People sat facing towards the middle,” says Schmitz. “There were no seatbelts and this helped to keep people in their seats with little centrifugal force.” Tickets were 25 cents for ten rides.
The Institution assured patrons that physicians had not only approved the ride, but also recommended it for health.
As part of what he calls the “salesmanship” of the day, the roller coaster was de-scribed in this way: “Phy-sicians of high standing recommend it; if you ride once, you will ride again. If you don’t ride at all you miss a novel experience. A fi ne view of Chautauqua Lake and a cool breeze always awaits you at Chau-tauqua’s circular gravity railway, or roller coaster.” It was further described as one of the largest and best roller coasters in existence, giving people “a chance to ride downhill without snow.”
According to Schmitz,
after a few years the roller coaster lost its novelty and was sold to Celeron Park sometime in the 1940s. The only existing image of The Royal Scooter today comes from the back of an old ticket.
Seaver Gym
Nearby Seaver Gym, rec-ognizable for its distinctive bridge, was still another place with a surprising past. Schmitz says that he believes it was the fi rst place in the county where basketball was played, having been brought in by Chautauqua High School, sometime around 1912. He adds that his colleague, Bill Flanders, who he describes as “a long-time Chau-tauquan who knows the place better than anyone,” remembers the game being played at the site in the 1920s, and that the space was much too small for the tournaments held there.
“If you’ve ever been to
Seaver gym, there is really no place for a crowd,” says Schmitz, who adds that there was quite a bit of wa-gering that went on with the games. “The crowd would often interfere with the games, sticking out legs and tripping players and there was often a lot of trouble.”
Bicycle Department and School of Gymnastics
According to the Chau-tauqua Assembly Herald, a bicycle school with rid-ing, rental and sales was opened on Scott Avenue in 1891, headed by Mr. W.S. Maltby from New York City, who was described as “a world champion bicycle rider.” Considered one of a number of special depart-ments within the School of Gymnastics, private lessons in physical education were offered there, including les-sons at the bicycle school. Today, bicycling and walk-ing remain the primary means of transportation on the grounds.

New Scoring Options Must Step
Up In 2013Contributed ArticleFSU Sports Information Dept.
The Blue Devils head into the 2013 season minus their top two scorers last season and looking for someone to fi ll that void.
Last year's leading scorer was Katie Kleine (Cazenovia), with nine goals (three game-winners) and seven assists and a total of 25 points. In addition to All-SUNYAC recognition, Kleine was named Second Team All-East Region by the NSCAA. How-ever, an injury sustained during the women's lacrosse season last spring will keep her from compet-ing this fall. She hopes to be back for the 2014 women's lacrosse season and will retain one season of women's soccer eligibility.
Meanwhile, graduation claimed all-time leading scorer Reilly Con-didorio, whose four-season totals consisted of 43 goals and 104 points – school records in both categories. She had nine goals in 2012, includ-ing four game-winners, and fi nished with 22 points. Among the numer-ous post-season awards Condidorio earned was the program's fi rst NSCAA All-American award, in 2011. She was a repeat Second Team All-American in 2012. She has joined the Blue Devil coach-ing staff in 2013. Kyle Marvin also returns as an assistant coach.
Other graduation losses were 2012 First Team All-SUNYAC goalkeep-er Meaghan Meszaros and defender Madison Brown, a Third Team All-SUNYAC choice in 2011.

The Fredonia State women's tennis season begins Wednesday with a home match against Penn State Behrend.
First serve is scheduled for 4 p.m. on the Steele Hall courts.
Head coach Joe Calarco, beginning his 14th season, returns all six players who competed for the Blue Devils in last year's SUNY-AC Tournament.
They are, in order from No. 1 through No. 6 players at the SU-NYACs: senior Alison Phillips, ju-nior Sara DiFulvio, senior Jessica Johnston, senior Miller Barmasse, senior Molly Zanetti, and junior Stephanie Thompson. Phillips and Zanetti are the co-captains.
The roster also includes two other seniors, Jenelle Friedman and Carmina Georgescu, and two more juniors, Jenna Fiacco and Emily Fulkerson.
There are no sophomores and four freshmen: Halee Dickinson, Phoebe Langdon, Sam Pedneault,
and Jessica Young.
"We are returning a stong line-up of experienced players in the top six positions," Calarco said. "I'm also looking for some of the younger players to develop and move up the ladder.
"I'm pretty confi dent about this team, and am excited to see how
the players perform this season."
The Blue Devils got off to a 3-0 start and fi nished 7-3 in regular-season dual matches last season. They went 1-2 at the SUNY-
AC Tournament, including a 5-2 season-ending win over Oswego in the consolation bracket.
In addition to Wednesday, the Blue Devils have home matches Sept. 10 vs. Roberts Wesleyan, Sept. 11 vs. Daemen, and Oct. 1 vs. Alfred. All three of their SU-NYAC West matches are on the road: this Saturday at Brockport, Sept. 18 at Geneseo, and Sept. 27 at Oswego.
The SUNYAC Tournament returns to the Binghamton Tennis Center on Oct 11, 12, and 13.

The Fredonia State men's soccer team will look to pick up where it left off when it opens its 2013 season this weekend.
A senior leadership group – which includes midfi elder Jay Dry (Lock-port), midfi elders Josh Best (Farm-ington), and defender Jakob Per-sons (Albany) as tri-captains – has set high goals for 2013, beginning with a return to the SUNYAC Tournament. The team's last post-season appearance came in 2010.
"I think we're looking pretty strong this year," said Persons in a recent interview posted on the team's blog. "A lot of the team has come together a lot quicker than I thought it might."

The Fredonia Lady Hillbillies and the Cassadaga Valley Lady Cougars got the ball rolling on the high school volleyball sea-son, last Thursday at Fredonia High School.
The non-league contest brought an end to summer and ushered in what promises to be an action-packed three months of sports.
“It’s always great to start a new year,” Fredonia coach Chris An-derson said. “My team is second to none in my opinion. We come together and do what’s best for the team.”
“They’re thrilled to be starting a new season,” Cassadaga Val-ley coach Jodi Hoffman added of her girls. “They’re excited.
This is my fi rst year coaching the varsity level. We’ve been working hard. We’ve got some new kids playing up on the varsity level. We‘ve got a nice group of juniors that are experi-enced and we’ve got some good senior leaders as well.”
The match was exactly what you’d hope for as a coach. It was a four-set thriller that featured
some nail-biting volleys through-out the games. Fredonia eventu-ally pulled out the 25-12, 25-19, 23-25, 25-13 win, but it was a great tune-up for both teams.
“I think one of the strengths of my team is we’re scrappy,” An-derson noted. “We don’t let balls hit the fl oor. That’s a credit to my kids and how they play and their intensity.”
“I think we’re going to be our own biggest competitors,” Hoff-man continued. “We’re working hard and learning some new things. The league is very com-petitive. I think everyone is going to have a chance. Experience will help us.”
Maddie Crandall paced Fredonia with 15 assists, three aces and three kills in the win while team-mate Makenzie Tarnowski con-tributed nine kills and three aces.
Hope Zielinski fi lled up the stat sheet with seven kills while Christine Seibert netted 10 digs for the Lady Cougars. Alyssa Hahn dished out nine assists.
Anderson is hoping the win is the start of something special for his squad.
“You never know,” he said. “As long as you play well it doesn’t matter but you always hope to go 20-0.
“We changed the division a little bit so it’s hard to tell what will happen,” Anderson continued. “We’re still with Jamestown, Dunkirk, Southwestern, Falconer — all of them were good teams last year. You never know what you’re going to get. You just put your players out there and hope you’re better than the other ones. As long as you play well that’s all you can ask for.”

The Jamestown Jammers didn’t do themselves any favors by losing three games in a row leading up to the season fi nale on Wednesday. A win in any of those games would have guar-anteed the team a playoff spot.
With just one more opportu-nity against the State College Spikes, the Jammers bats came up big in a 9-4 win that helped the Jammers clinch the wild card spot and a chance to play for the New York-Penn League championship.
Jamestown was able to plate three runs in the bottom of the f irst inning to take some of the pressure off of Chad Kuhl. Pittsburgh Pirates f irst-round draft pick Austin Meadows launched a solo home run in the third inning and added three more walks in the game. He’s now hitting a robust .529 in his short time with the Jammers.
State College scraped together a pair of runs to cut the defi -cit to 4-2, but Kuhl and the
bullpen were able to shut the door and get the Jammers to the playoffs.
Kuhl allowed fi ve hits and those two runs in fi ve solid in-nings. He only walked one, but didn’t strike out any hitters as he let his defense work behind him. Henry Hirsch, Andy Otamendi and Brett McKin-ney combined for the last four innings, allowing two more runs but far from allowing a comeback.
Harold Ramirez chipped in with a pair of hits and a run scored while designated hitter Jin-De Jhang had just one hit but drove in three runs. Mead-ows’ fellow fi rst-round pick Reese McGuire scored a pair of runs while playing solid defense behind the plate.
With the win, the Jammers set up a playoff date with…the State College Spikes. The series will start Friday in Jamestown before the two teams head off to State College for Game 2 on Saturday and Game 3 on Sunday, if necessary. Should the Jammers advance, they will play the winner of Aberdeen and Tri-City.

My golfer’s diary will follow my golf outing(s) for the week. I’ll look at how course conditions, weather, equipment, playing partners, etc. affect the game we love. Please keep in mind that I only started golfi ng last year, so yes, my scores are hardly that of a scratch golfer. But that’s what makes golf great: You don’t have to be a zero handicap to enjoy the game.
No one ever plays golf as much as they wish they did, but these past few weeks have been torture with the severe lack of golfi ng in my life. I’ve still been able to get out once a week, but that’s not nearly enough to keep one’s game honed.
That little rant aside, I had an awesome time playing at Hillview Golf Course in Fredonia this past weekend. I had noth-ing to do all day so Bryan and I decided to play a full 18 holes. The course was in fantastic shape. Actu-ally, “fantastic” probably doesn’t even do it justice. The greens were awesome and the fairways were healthy and full.
There are few holes that I’ve ever played that give me more problems than No. 1 at Hillview. It’s especially painful because there are few holes that I have consistently better drives on than No. 1. It’s always that second shot that gets me. On Saturday it was a 7-iron that I pulled into the water to the left
of the green. I’m not even sure if the water is meant to be a hazard. It looks like a drainage stream or runoff from the pond on No. 5. Either way, I splashed down just perfect-ly and had to take a six on the hole even after nearly chipping in from my drop.
I missed a birdie putt on No. 2 that would have been a great way to get back into it. No. 2 at Hill-view is a very doable par 5. I can’t reach the green in two, but some big hitters probably could. I’ve hit on birdies before, but on this rusty afternoon I three-putted my way to a bogey.
It took one more hole before I was warmed up. A terrible tee shot and then a botched second shot put me in terrible position on No. 3. That’s always frus-trating because it’s another hole that I can sometimes score on. Actually, Hill-view is a course I usually play pretty well on. A lot of that has to do with the condition of the greens. They’re not scary fast, but they’re fast enough that you can count on your ball rolling true.
I then started a nice string of three consecutive pars on Nos. 5-7. Bryan and I both got a three on the fi rst par 3 of the course on No. 5. His shot was a little far and on the back of the green while mine was just short on the fringe, but both of us converted as we should. We actually both recorded par on the long par fi ve No. 6, too. It may
have been the fi rst time ever that we both had par on back-to-back holes.
He struggled a bit on the par four No. 7, but I actu-ally made it in four for the fi rst time ever. It’s prob-ably the signature hole at Hillview as the green is surrounded by a sce-nic grove of trees. Here’s what usually happens: I hit a decent tee shot to the right so I have a look into the green. Then I toe my second shot and it goes way off into the right, maybe into the woods. This time (actually both times through the hole) I decided to just be stub-born and aim my second shot right at the giant tree that blocks the green. Both times my ball landed softly at the base of the tree and gave me a great look at an easy chip shot. It will never be an easy hole, but at least it worked out for one day.
I fi nished the front nine with a 44. That is, if not my mean, at least my mode score. I swear every other round I play I shoot a 44. I knew I could play better because I started off so slowly, but I also sank a few long putts that certain-ly helped my score on that front nine.
The back started off ter-ribly once again. After a great drive, I just couldn’t put the ball in the hole and ended with a double bogey again. I followed with a pair of pars however, so I was three shots better on the back nine after three
holes. A bogey, par, bogey still left me two shots bet-ter. I missed a super easy par putt on No. 16, but a bogey followed by another bogey on No. 17 still left me one shot better headed into No. 18.
No. 18 is not an easy hole. It’s listed as a 236-yard par 3 and plays every yard of that. I’ve hit some pretty good tee shots with my three wood, but generally I just hit a terrible tee shot and leave myself fi ghting just to save bogey. This time through though, I just used my driver. I choked up on the club a little bit and really concentrated on just hitting the ball straight. The result was nearly perfect as I left it just on the front of the green, setting myself up for an easy par and a 42 for the back nine.
My 18-hole score of 86 might be my best ever. I shot an 88 earlier in the year and I don’t actually play 18 holes that often. So for a lack of certainty, yes, I’ll say 86 is my best score ever. I’m certain I could break 80 at Hill-view on one of my better days. It’s a course that was seemingly made for my game. I have a tour-nament coming up there in another week or so, so hopefully that’ll be the time I put it all together.

Walleye fi shing has been decent out of Barcelona and Dunkirk this week. Walleye are scattered between 70-100 feet of water off Barcelona, and trollers are covering a lot of water to put a few ‘eyes in the box. Some of the better action was off Brocton Shoal. Dunkirk anglers are working the water both east and west of the harbor in 65-100 feet of water for decent catches. Out of both western ports, stickbaits and worm har-nesses run 55-65 feet down is a good bet. The walleye action was good last week-end near the international line off Cattaraugus Creek with some limit catches re-ported. The bite has since been slow and trollers are in search mode.
West of Dunkirk, walleye trollers also see the oc-casional steelhead, brown trout or lake trout catch. Run “cheater lines” for some supplemental steel-head action. A cheater line can be 6-8 feet of fl uorocarbon line with a snap swivel on one end and spoon on the other. After you have dropped your downrigger ball to desired depth, attach the snap swivel to downrig-ger fi shing rod’s line. Toss the lure into the water and the cheater line will slide down to the bow in the line, approximately half way down. There are good lake trout catches to be had
between Dunkirk and the PA border at depths over 75 feet. Flashy spoons run off downriggers near the bottom can bring in con-sistent catches of lake trout averaging 6-8 pounds, with the occasional fi sh pushing the 20 pound mark.
Yellow perch action gener-ally heats up in late sum-mer. On Thursday, anglers found feeding schools deep off Cattaraugus Creek and Silver Creek in 70-85 feet of water. Minnows fi shed near the bottom produced good catches including some limits. Some decent perch catches also came just east of Dunkirk in 60-70 feet of water. Emerald shiners are the top bait, but are likely not available at bait shops (worth a call around however). Schools of emeralds are showing at the foot of Sheridan, foot of Ontario and Broderick Park. Most are “pin heads” and too small to put a hook through, but the patient dipper can fi nd some larger shiners mixed in.
Smallmouth bass fi sh-ing has picked up around reef in shoal areas. Good areas to try include Seneca Shoal, Myers Reef, Evans Bar and Van Buren Reef. Drop-shot rigs combined with crayfi sh, minnows, tube jigs or other plastic baits works well. For more information see the Small-mouth Bass Fishing on Lake Erie page.
Upper Niagara RiverThick schools of white bass were providing some awe-some fi shing at Broderick Park. The white bass are
keying on schools of small emerald shiners moving along the shoreline towards Lake Erie. White bass are easily caught near the surface when they push a school of emerald shiners to the surface (to feed on). Small white twister tails on a hook or small jig head and emerald shiners work great. Broderick Park an-glers also report decent yel-low perch fi shing. Repairs to Bird Island Pier have fi nally been completed and the barricade has been removed. Anglers can once again fi sh from this pier that separates the Black Rock Canal from the Ni-agara River. Smallmouth bass fi shing is generally good at this time of year on the river-side of the pier, south of the Peace Bridge. Boaters target smallmouth bass around Strawberry, Motor and Grand Islands. Drifting outside weed edges with a 3-way bottom bouncing rig and crayfi sh is a good bet.
Chautauqua LakeMuskellunge fi shing has been fair this week. Troll-ers have caught some musky along weed edges on stickbaits and bucktail trolling spinners, and some suspended musky have been caught over depths of 20-25 feet. Largemouth bass fi shing is good along weed edges, pockets and around docks. Top water lures, weedless rigged pow-er worms and wacky rigged senkos work well. Bluegill fi shing is good in the same areas. A simple bobber and worm set-up or small jigs with wax worms works
well. Anglers are starting to catch some walleye around the rims of the deep holes.
Inland Trout StreamsThe area’s trout streams are running low and clear. Fishing early in the day, moving stealthily and us-ing ultra light tippets will help fool wary trout. Tri-cos are the only signifi cant hatch happening and that is over by early morning. With the lack of fl y hatch-es, using terrestrials such as ants and beetles are good options, especially in areas of moderate to heavy overhanging vegetation. Stimulator, grasshopper and cricket patterns can also take fi sh. Produc-tive offerings for spinning anglers include worms, salted minnows and small inline spinners. If you are a catch-and-release angler and use spinners, it is good practice to outfi t your spinners with a single hook rather than a treble hook.
Western New York anglers have a variety of Wild Trout Streams and Stocked Trout Streams to choose from. In addition, Public Fishing Rights Maps are available for many of the area’s best trout streams.

D i a ryG o l f e r ' sANOTHER CAREER BEST ACHIEVED, BUT IT COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER
Lake Erie Fishing Hotline
The senior group also includes midfi elders Luke Tylutki (Pittsford) and Chase Lipshie (Port Jeffer-son Station), and defenders Dino Salcic (Penfi eld) and Joe Pagano (South Wales). Tylutki was Second Team All SUNYAC the past two seasons, while Lipshie is back after missing the entire 2012 season with an injury. His return to form was no-ticeable during a pre-season scrimmage vs. Jamestown Community College.
Tylutki and Dry had one goal each in last year's win over Hobart. What makes that signifi cant is that return-ing players accounted for only seven goals last year. In addition, it marked only the second time all season players on the 2013 roster scored goals in the same 2012 game.
Dry is the leading returning scorer. He had four goals last season, two of them to win games. Tylutki, Best, and sophomore defender Mike Biggane (Amherst) fi nished with one goal each.
The 2013 roster includes fi ve players who started in at least half the Blue Devils' games last year: Dry, Big-gane, Tylutki, sophomore defender Keith Braun (Elma), and junior goal-keeper Michael Schreiner (Spencerport). Schreiner started 13 of the 19 games last season and posted a 5-7-1 record with a 1.85 goals against average. He started all nine SUNYAC games.
NEW NAMES, EXTRA DUTIES: Head coach P.J. Gondek, who's beginning his 14th season, has 10 newcom-ers on the 26-player roster – eight of them freshmen. One of the freshmen, forward Brandon Schick (Cheektow-aga), has displayed a scoring touch during the scrimmag-es and pre-season drills.
The key losses among last year's senior class are for-ward Tyler Williams, who led the team with 12 points (including four goals), and midfi elder Ryan Smith, who earned post-season awards in each of his fi rst three sea-
sons as a Blue Devil. Smith and Jeremy Voigt, another 2012 senior, has joined the 2013 coaching staff, which also includes holdovers Dan Smith and John Grabowski.
In addition to his head coaching duties, Gondek will serve as the NCAA Division III national chairman. His committee's primary job will be to rank and eventually se-lect and seed the fi eld for the 2013 national tournament.
THE SCHEDULE AT A GLANCE: As for this week, Fredonia State and Baldwin-Wallace will be meeting for the third time in their histories. The most recent meeting was a 2-1 BW win as part of the 2010 Blue Devil Clarion Classic.
As for the Blue Devils' other potential opponents this weekend, they trail Bethany 7-4 in their all-time series and own a 29-3-1 advan-tage over Behrend. Their 33-game series with the Li-ons equals the most games the Blue Devils have played against any non-SUNYAC school, tied with Rochester Institute of Technology.
The Blue Devils will have played eight straight non-conference games – includ-ing a pair in the Blue Devil Clarion Classic at Univer-sity Stadium on Sept. 6 and 7 – before entering SUNY-AC competition Sept. 27 at Brockport. That will be followed by SUNYAC road games Sept. 28 at Geneseo and Oct. 5 at Buffalo State prior to the fi rst conference home game Oct. 11 vs. Cortland as part of Home-coming Weekend activities.
Other SUNYAC home op-ponents are Oswego (Oct. 12), New Paltz (Oct. 25), and Oneonta (Oct. 26). The nine-game conference slate will also include a trip to North Country for games vs. Potsdam (Oct. 18) and Plattsburgh (Oct. 19).
The traditional regular-sea-son fi nale against Hobart – this year in Geneva on Oct. 29 – will precede the start of the SUNYAC Tournament, scheduled to begin Nov. 2.
FSU MEN’S SOCCER CONTINUED FROM PG 1
TWO ALL-CONFER-ENCE RETURNEES: With Kleine out, the top returning players are seniors Kristi Putzig (Williamsville) and Shannon Letina (Clar-ence). Putzig, a forward, was third in scoring in 2012 with seven goals – three to win games – and 17 points. Leti-na, a defender, started all 17 games she appeared in. Both players were selected Third Team All-SUNYAC.
Also back are fi ve players who were starters for at least half the 2012 season: senior midfi elders Catie Hale (Lockport), Maria Green (Loudonville), and Mary Bruton (Palmyra); junior defender Maggie Horan (Livonia); and sophomore defender Sarah Lindovski (Baldwinsville). Hale was the top scorer among the quintet with two goals – both game-winners – and eight points.
Among Horan's 19 starts (in a total of 19 games) were two in goal as an emergency replace-ment when Meszaros went down with an injury. Letina could also step into goal should the need arise in 2013.
Bruton, Hale, and Horan are the 2013 tri-captains.
The 28-player roster includes 14 freshmen. It's the largest freshmen class since the cur-rent seniors were a 13 strong in 2010, and it's the second time head coach Chris Case
has welcomed this large a freshmen class. The only other time came in 2007.
Case enters the 2013 season with a 111-80-21 coaching record.
SCHEDULE AT A GLANCE: The home por-tion of the season begins Sept. 6 vs. Penn State Behrend on the fi rst day of the Blue Devil/Clarion Hotel Clas-sic. The Blue Devils will also face Mount Union during the Classic, which concludes Sept. 7 and includes two games by the Blue Devil men.
The Virginia trip this weekend, the Clarion Clas-sic, plus games vs. St. John Fisher and William Smith will give the Blue Devils six straight non-conference games at the start of their schedule. They will play three additional non-confer-ence games, plus their nor-mal nine-game SUNYAC schedule, beginning Sept. 27 at home vs. Brockport.
Other home SUNYAC op-ponents are Geneseo (Sept. 28), Buffalo State (Oct. 5), Potsdam (Oct. 18), and Plattsburgh (Oct. 19). The four SUNYAC road games are at Cortland (Oct. 11), at Oswego (Oct. 12), at New Paltz (Oct. 25), and at Oneonta (Oct. 26). The fi rst round of the SUNYAC Tournament is scheduled to begin Nov. 2.

Washington Redskins (2nd) — This second-place rat-ing is certainly contingent on if quarterback Robert Griffi n III can stay healthy. Without him, they are a below average team. When he’s out there running all over the fi eld throwing lasers to his receivers, the ‘Skins can beat absolutely anybody. The defense was really banged up last year, but Brian Orakpo and Ryan Kerrigan are presumably healthy and ready to wreck some havoc. They’ll probably fall short of the playoffs, but a 9-7 season looks likely.
NFC NORTH
Chicago Bears (2nd) — For the umpteenth straight year Jay Cutler has a new offen-sive coordinator and that fact alone has Bears fans excited about the new year. Forget the fact that 90 per-cent of his throws will still go to Brandon Marshall and they’ll underutilize Matt Forte as always. The defense is still very good even sans Brian Urlacher as the secondary might be tops in the NFL from a skill standpoint. It has to be because they play two very pass-happy offenses twice a year in Green Bay and Detroit. A wild card berth isn’t out of the question.
Detroit Lions (3rd) — The Lions simply need more from the defense. Nick Fairly has supplanted Ndamukong Suh as the best player on that unit, but the linebackers and second-ary still look weak. Calvin Johnson is already one of the best receivers to ever play the game and Mat-thew Stafford puts the ball in the air more than any quarterback in history. The addition of Reggie Bush should take some pressure off of both guys, but they’ll need to score some major points every week to make up for that defense.
Green Bay Packers (1st) — People like to rag on Green Bay’s defense because of that horrendous playoff per-formance, but in the regular season the Packers sported

The National Football League 2013-2014 season is upon us. Last night the Bal-timore Ravens opened up their defense of the Lom-bardi Trophy in Denver against Peyton Manning and the Broncos.
Both of those teams are among the AFC favorites, but I’m going to reserve a seat on the Cincinnati Ben-gals’ bandwagon. It’s a team that has made the playoffs each of the past two seasons but hasn’t advanced past the fi rst game. But they’ve added some key pieces and their best players are enter-ing their primes.
In the NFC, it’s a toss up. The San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks have been the preseason darlings and you can never count out the Aaron Rodgers-led Green Bay Packers. Even the New Orleans Saints, Washington Redskins and Chicago Bears have gotten a lot of love. For my money, I’ll take the Atlanta Falcons to take that next step. The offense is absolutely loaded and they’re extremely well coached. The defense could be better, but they have a massive home fi eld advan-tage in their dome.
There’s the playoff predic-tion, but what about the regular season? Time has shown that my Major League Baseball predictions were…hit-or-miss. But I won’t let that stop me from going out on a limb once again.
AFC EAST
Buffalo Bills (2nd) — The Bills have found their quar-terback of the future in E.J. Manuel. He’s proven to be a student of the game with the physical tools to thrive in the NFL. A knee injury has halted the progress, but once he gets going the offence could really click. The defense was atrocious last year, but a new coach-ing staff could take the same talent to another level. Losing cornerback Stephon Gilmore will be a big blow, but he should return around the middle of the season. Don’t expect much at the beginning of the season, but this could be a very danger-ous team late in the year.
Miami Dolphins (3rd) — A lot has been made about the money Miami spent in the offseason to bring in some high-powered free agents. Truth be told, I’d be more worried about what was lost. Reggie Bush is now in Detroit and he
was a massive piece in the Dolphins’ offense. Coaches are high on Lamar Miller, but Ryan Tannehill lost his security blanket in Bush. Cameron Wake is a bona fi de stud, but how many other playmakers are on the defense? It’s not like beautiful Miami offers much of a home-fi eld advantage either. Oppos-ing players look forward to playing down there. Expect struggles all year long.
New England Patriots (1st) — Deion Branch. David Givens. Troy Brown. Daniel Graham. J.R. Redmond. David Patten. Jermaine Wiggins. Those are Tom Brady’s top wide receiv-ers and tight ends from his three Super Bowl champi-onship seasons. Still think he’ll struggle with the likes of Danny Amendola, Aaron Dobson and Zach Sudfeld? Yeah, me neither. This divi-sion is New England’s for the taking for as long as No. 12 lines up under center. Oh, and Rob Gronkowski is expected back sooner rather than later.
New York Jets (4th) — The only reason they’re fourth is because there are only four teams. Fourth just sounds too good for a team in such disarray. Last season fi nally proved that Mark Sanchez is utter trash. Geno Smith is NOT RGIII no matter now much Rex Ryan wishes he was. And for that matter, why does Ryan still have a job? It’s time to completely restart the Jets from the ground up. This is the worst division in the NFL and the Jets still have no chance of winning even a single game. Did I mention they’re really bad?
AFC NORTH
Baltimore Ravens (2nd) — Way too much has been made of the turnover from last year’s Super Bowl cham-pionship roster. Yes, losing Ed Reed and Ray Lewis is going to hurt in the locker room and in the huddle, but how much will it actually hurt on the fi eld? Haloti Ngata has been the team’s best defensive player for years now and Ter-rell Suggs is no slouch either. On offense, Ray Rice is still a top-5 running back. The injury to Dennis Pitta (Todd Heap 2.0) hurts, but Joe Flacco is a very good quarter-back and won’t let this team fall too far. It might take a few weeks to get cooking, but they’ll be a wild card when all is said and done.
Cincinnati Bengals (1st) — This may be a bit of a dark-horse prediction, but I really like the look of this team. They’ve held their own against the big boys for the past couple years and this will be the year they leapfrog Pittsburgh and Baltimore. A.J. Green is entering his third season, which is when many elite receivers jump from great to uncoverable. They have two great tight ends, a solid running game and a defense that’s ludi-crously underrated. Geno Atkins is as overlooked as Geno Smith is overhyped. It won’t be easy, but I fully ex-pect the Bengals to emerge from the AFC.
Cleveland Browns (4th) — I don’t expect this to be a typical fourth-place fi nish for Cleveland. This won’t be a 5-11 year like Browns fans have been so accustomed to over the years. No, this team will at least fl irt with 8-8. Trent Richardson is an animal and their receiving core is sneaky good. The defense, as is the calling card of the AFC North, is stout. A lot of the success hinges on the development of second-year quarterback Brandon Weeden, who has looked really good under new offensive coordinator Norv Turner.
Pittsburgh Steelers (3rd) — Last season was just ugly for the Black and Gold. Big Ben played hurt, the defense aged rapidly and seeing Baltimore hoist the Lombardi Trophy was an extra punch in the gut. The Steelers had one of the best drafts of any team in my opinion and looked rejuvenated in preseason. Big Ben is supposedly as healthy as he’s been in years. Even when he’s limp-ing around he’s one of the hardest quarterbacks to bring down and when he’s running well he can be the most entertaining play-maker in the league. Still, the division is deep and I expect Pittsburgh to fall just short of a playoff bid.
AFC SOUTH
Houston Texans (1st) — It seems like forever, but just three years ago the Texans were a joke of an organiza-tion. Since then the likes of J.J. Watt, Arian Foster
and even Matt Schaub have drastically changed the landscape of the divi-sion. This seems to be the kind of team that doesn’t do anything exceptionally well, but does everything well. A well-balanced team that doesn’t lean too heavily on any one area of the game. The offensive line is solid and Watt alone makes the defensive line one of the best in the game. It’s not fl ashy, but you can defi nitely win in the trenches. Injuries have hurt each of the past two years, but if healthy this team is as good as any.
Indianapolis Colts (2nd) — I really wanted to put them fi rst because Andrew Luck is the greatest thing I’ve seen since…Peyton Manning. Luck is widely expected to continue developing into the game’s top quarterback and he has shown no reason to doubt that. The rest of the team however, is suspect. The defensive line is no longer dominant and the second-ary leaves you scratching your head. Long gone are the days of Bob Sanders. But Luck throwing lasers to Coby Fleener and T.Y. Hil-ton will be plenty to keep this team in games. The addition of Ahmad Brad-shaw could be the missing link and make this offense truly scary.
Jacksonville Jaguars (4th) — Blaine Gabbert is one of the most painfully inept quarterbacks I’ve ever seen — and I’ve watched plenty of Bills games over the past 20 years. He makes Chris-tian Ponder look confi dent and poised. He makes Mark Sanchez look like a franchise hero. He makes Tim Tebow look fl uid…okay that last one was a lie, but you get the point. Blaine Gabbert is the worst quarterback in the league and you can’t win without a competent player under center. That’s the long and short of it. Maurice Jones-Drew should be an interest-ing free agent at the end of the season though.
Tennessee Titans (3rd) — There are few people that believe in Jake Locker, but I’m one of them. If he can stay healthy I think he could be up there with the Tony Romo’s and Jay Cut-ler’s of the league — above average, but not quite elite. The Titans invested heavily in the offensive line both in the draft and in free
agency and it could pay big dividends for Chris John-son, who hasn’t lost a step but hasn’t had any room to run the past few seasons. Honestly, this is probably a last-place team in a lot of divisions, but hopefully they can beat the lowly Jaguars for third place.
AFC SOUTH
Denver Broncos (1st) — This is the easiest call of any division. Peyton Manning proved he’s over his neck operations and he has all kinds of weapons with Demaryius Thomas, Wes Welker and Eric Decker making up one of the best wide receiver trios in the league. The defense suffered an unexpected hit when Von Miller was suspended for six games, but their schedule is easy, the division is weak and Manning won’t let them slip for even a second be-cause he knows his window is closing. No one would be surprised if the road to the Super Bowl went through Denver come January.
Kansas City Chiefs (2nd) — The Chiefs paid a hefty price to get quarterback Alex Smith from the 49ers, but that just proves how thin the position has been in recent years. They also brought in a new head coach in Andy Reid. One move without the other is just okay, but the two of them together is a perfect fi t. Smith was born to run Reid’s West Coast offense. Their defense, if healthy, can be dominant. It’s positively littered with Pro Bowlers including Brandon Flowers and Tamba Hali. Another preseason darling, but this one might have what it takes.
Oakland Raiders (4th) — How can three teams in the AFC be so putrid? The fi rst three picks in the draft next year will be Oakland, NY Jets and Jacksonville in some order I’m sure. The Raiders thought they had landed their present and future quarterback when Matt Flynn made his way down the coast from Seattle, but he’s struggled mightily in preseason and now it looks like Tyrrelle Pryor is being given serious looks. Their best player, left tackle Jared Veldheer, is on injured re-serve. It’s going to be a long season for Raiders fans.
San Diego Chargers (3rd)
— One bad year can be considered an aberration, but two terrible years in a row probably signifi es the end is near for Phil-lip Rivers in San Diego. He’s never been much of a fan favorite with his icy demeanor on and off the fi eld and now his play gives fans an excuse to call for his head. Apparently Ryan Mathews is healthy, but fans will believe it when they see it. They’re nothing special on defense and are probably doomed for a 6-10 season at best. At least they get to play Oakland twice.
NFC EASTNFC EAST
Dallas Cowboys (1st) — This just felt weird, but I really don’t like any of the other three teams in the East. Tony Romo gets a really bad rap, but he has some serious weapons at his disposal, including superstar in the making Dez Bryant. This might be another case of simply dis-liking the other three teams in the division, but Romo might fi nally get the re-spect he’s due if he can win the East this year. Having sackmaster DeMarcus Ware on the other side of the ball will certainly help.
New York Football Giants (4th) — I really don’t like the Giants. I don’t like Eli Manning. I have zero con-fi dence in their secondary. Victor Cruz is in a walk-ing boot. Tom Coughlin gets redder by the minute. Justin Tuck and Co. were terrible last year and the once vaunted running game was the worst in the league last year. Combine that with each of the other three teams in the division improving and you get two last place teams in New York this year.
Philadelphia Eagles (3rd) — Chip Kelly is bringing a new fast-paced offense to the NFL which at least makes the Eagles watch-able, but unfortunately they still aren’t very good. LeSean McCoy could be in for an insane year yardage-wise, but Michael Vick “winning” the quarterback competition doesn’t exactly have Eagles fans brim-ming with confi dence. The defense has been a train wreck each of the past two seasons and there’s no rea-son to think it’ll improve now that the offense’s plan is to get on and off the fi eld as quickly as possible.
Bengals, Falcons Set For Super Seasons; Plus Other Predictions
CONTINUED ON PG 5
CHAUTAUQUA STARFRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 2013 5
Washington Redskins (2nd) — This second-place rat-ing is certainly contingent on if quarterback Robert Griffi n III can stay healthy. Without him, they are a below average team. When he’s out there running all over the fi eld throwing lasers to his receivers, the ‘Skins can beat absolutely anybody. The defense was really banged up last year, but Brian Orakpo and Ryan Kerrigan are presumably healthy and ready to wreck some havoc. They’ll probably fall short of the playoffs, but a 9-7 season looks likely.
NFC NORTH
Chicago Bears (2nd) — For the umpteenth straight year Jay Cutler has a new offen-sive coordinator and that fact alone has Bears fans excited about the new year. Forget the fact that 90 per-cent of his throws will still go to Brandon Marshall and they’ll underutilize Matt Forte as always. The defense is still very good even sans Brian Urlacher as the secondary might be tops in the NFL from a skill standpoint. It has to be because they play two very pass-happy offenses twice a year in Green Bay and Detroit. A wild card berth isn’t out of the question.
Detroit Lions (3rd) — The Lions simply need more from the defense. Nick Fairly has supplanted Ndamukong Suh as the best player on that unit, but the linebackers and second-ary still look weak. Calvin Johnson is already one of the best receivers to ever play the game and Mat-thew Stafford puts the ball in the air more than any quarterback in history. The addition of Reggie Bush should take some pressure off of both guys, but they’ll need to score some major points every week to make up for that defense.
Green Bay Packers (1st) — People like to rag on Green Bay’s defense because of that horrendous playoff per-formance, but in the regular season the Packers sported
a top-10 defense. They’ll get a major test right off the bat with Colin Kaepernick and RGIII running the pistol in their fi rst two games of the season. As long as Aaron Rodgers stays healthy there’s no reason to think this team will lose more than a few games. It is and always has been about the playoffs in Green Bay.
Minnesota Vikings (4th) — The Vikings were a good story last year, winning their last three games and sneaking into the playoffs. Adrian Peterson’s impor-tance to this team hardly needs mentioning as he’s by far the best back in the league. Christian Ponder is being counted on to take the next step and…you know…not stink. The defense is probably above average though age and injuries have taken their toll on some key guys. Jared Al-len is in a contract year and could put up some monster numbers hoping to land one more big contract. The division is just too tough to see the Vikings repeating what they did last year. Plus they have a second-place schedule as opposed to a last-place schedule.
NFC SOUTH
Atlanta Falcons (1st) — This division gets overlooked when talking about the best divi-sions in football, but as good as Atlanta is, it has its work cut out against the South. Matt Ryan, however, is as good as anyone not named Rodgers, Brady, or P. Man-ning and is poised to put up video-game numbers in this offense. The defense will give up its fair share of points, but Ryan, Roddy White, Tony Gonzalez, Steven Jackson and Julio Jones should be able to outscore almost anyone they take the fi eld with.
Carolina Panthers (2nd) — People forget that the Panthers fi nished 5-1 to fi n-ish last year. Second seems pretty high to put these guys, but Cam Newton is entering his third season in the NFL and should put himself into the conversation of “best in the league” by the time we hit January. The defensive line was addressed in the draft and linebacker Luke Kuechly proved in his rookie season that he has what it
takes to be a star, leading the league in tackles. The sec-ondary isn’t great and I have doubts about head coach Ron Rivera, but look for Carolina to be the surprise team in the NFL.
New Orleans Saints (3rd) — Drew Brees should once again be in the MVP conversations with his head coach Sean Payton back from his year-long suspen-sion, but keep in mind that the defense gave up more yards than any team in the history of the NFL last year. The three teams in the divi-sion have improved greatly and I just don’t see a return to the playoffs for the Saints yet. They’d probably make the playoffs in the AFC, but the NFC is just too deep and there will be some very good teams on the outside looking in come January.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4th) — In today’s NFL you win with a great quarter-back. I don’t care if he’s a running quarterback or a pure pocket passer, but you need to have elite quarter-back play. Josh Freeman is about as far from elite as you can get. Doug Martin was a huge boost last year, but will teams key on stop-ping him this year? The trade for Darrelle Revis was ill-advised as this team is not ready to win now. Revis and fellow new-comer Dashon Goldson will drasti-cally help the secondary, but it won’t be nearly enough.
NFC WEST
Arizona Cardinals (4th) — I actually really like the Cardinals, but I simply can’t justify any higher than fourth here. This division is nasty. All four defenses are in the top 5 in the NFC. There’s just no way Carson Palmer (master of the garbage time fantasy points) is the an-swer at quarterback. Larry Fitzgerald is happy to have a real live quarterback throw-ing to him, but it probably won’t equate to many wins. That said, the defense is sneaky good and I wouldn’t be surprised if they beat their division rivals a few times.
San Francisco 49ers (3rd)
— That’s not a mistake. I have the 49ers fi nishing third. Listen, predictions are no fun if I just repeat what all the national writ-ers are saying and predict the 49ers will win the divi-sion and advance to the Su-per Bowl. I see Kaepernick struggling badly without Michael Crabtree. I see Frank Gore getting worn down and hurt with a sud-den lack of running back depth with Kendall Hunter coming off a series injury and LaMichael James po-tentially being done for the season. I have no concerns about the defense, but they looked very average once Justin Smith went down last year. 49ers fans better hope he stays healthy.
Seattle Seahawks (2nd) — Wait, if San Francisco isn’t winning the division, surely Seattle is, right. Wrong. Seattle is hyped for good reason. They are deeper than any team in the NFL. An injury here or there isn’t going to derail their title hopes. A lot of people are calling for Russell Wilson to regress, but I think he’s regression proof because of how hard he’s worked to get where he is. That, Mar-shawn Lynch and a offen-sive line fi lled with studs will keep Wilson going strong. The Percy Harvin injury defi nitely hurts, but it’s not like Wilson had any elite receivers last year either. A playoff berth is almost a cer-tainty with the Seahawks.
St. Louis Rams (1st) — I’m not a gambling man, but I’m pretty sure the Vegas odds on St. Louis winning this division are pretty slim. I’m not even a huge fan of quarterback Sam Bradford, but I’m expect-ing great things from fi rst-round pick Tavon Austin. That and Chris Givens is a budding superstar at receiver. Tight end Jared Cook could be the biggest bargain of free agency if he performs like he has in pre-season. He’s 6-foot-5/248 pounds and a matchup nightmare. Oh and the defense might have the best front four in the league. That should help bottle up the likes of Kaepernick and Wilson. The Rams went 4-1-1 within the division last year and should be able to repeat that success under head coach Jeff Fisher.

25) San Francisco Giants 61-77 Re-member how they’ve won two of the last three World Series titles? No, me neither.
26) Chicago Cubs 58-80 The Wrigley Field renovations are exciting, but the team won’t be good for a few years.
27) Milwaukee Brewers 59-79 Another fi ve-game losing streak is nothing for this sorry franchise. It’s been that kind of year.
28) Chicago White Sox 56-81 They’ve got some work to do to avoid being the worst team in the Windy City.
29) Miami Marlins 52-85 A three-game streak is proof that these guys really don’t want to lose 100 games.
30) Houston Astros 45-93 The three-run home run in the 9th was awesome. The 12-inning loss was inevitable.

It turns out Buffalo Bills rookie quarterback EJ Manuel will be ready to open the season against the New England Patriots, after all.
Following weeks of at-tempting to address an injury-depleted quarterback position, coach Doug Mar-rone announced Wednes-day that Manuel will start Sunday. Marrone made the announcement in a one-sentence release issued by the team before practice.
Manuel's status had been in
question after he had what the team called a ''minor procedure'' on his left knee on Aug. 18. The fi rst-round draft pick was injured two days earlier while scram-bling in a 20-16 preseason win over Minnesota.
Marrone had held out hope that Manuel would recover in time to start the season.
Manuel spent last week working out on his own, in-cluding throwing passes on the fi eld at Ralph Wilson Stadium before the Bills preseason fi nale against Detroit on Aug. 29.
Manuel returned to prac-tice on Sunday, when he
was limited to working in individual drills. He then practiced fully on Monday.
The Bills put their future in Manuel after selecting him with the 16th pick in the NFL draft. The Florida State product was the fi rst and only quarterback taken in the fi rst round.
Had Manuel not been ready, the Bills would have had no choice but to have undrafted rookie Jeff Tuel start on Sunday.
Manuel's injury complicated the Bills plans at quarterback. He was supposed to have been competing with veteran free-agent addition Kevin
Kolb for the starting job.
That competition ended when Kolb sustained a season-ending concussion in a 30-7 preseason loss at Washington on Aug. 24. Kolb has since been placed on injured reserve.
The Bills spent last week scrambling to add quarter-backs by signing free-agent veteran Matt Leinart and acquiring Thaddeus Lewis in a trade with Detroit.
Leinart was cut on Friday, a day after he struggled in a preseason loss to the Lions. Lewis was also cut, but has since been signed to Buffalo's practice squad.
