Anyone on Facebook has probably seen more than their share of pithy pieces of advice about life. While some are cliché and ir-ritating, there are some insights that truly resonate to the point of making you stop what you are doing to inwardly refl ect upon its truth and meaning in our lives.

Consider this gem posted by a friend on Facebook: “The way we talk to our children becomes their in-ner voice.”

As I read that I thought about the number of times I have heard my mother’s warnings, fears and beliefs playing like a tape recorder in my mind. It also brought to light what I have said to my own children – both good and bad- and how those words have molded them. The thought was, to

say the least, sobering.

There was this other bit of parenting advice: “Remem-ber, you are not managing an inconvenience, you are raising a human being.”

One of my favorite quota-tions deals with human potential and our unique personal differences, which is attributed to Albert Einstein: “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fi sh by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”

Then there are those bits of encouragement we all need from time to time, e.g. “you can do hard things.” Or this, “a little step may be the beginning of a great journey.” Finally, there are admonitions meant to provide coaching with career and life. “Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.” Or, “collect moments, not things.” Interestingly, you’ll notice that there are contradictions among these wordsmiths. For instance, contrast “it’s o.k. to be happy with a calm life” with“good things happen to those who hustle.”

Whatever the advice du jour on Facebook, or the individual truth we seek, the fact remains that we all wish to tap into the “well-spring of wisdom,” which is, as religious text tells us, is “as a fl owing brook.”

As the days of summer dwindle down to a precious few, the Westfi eld Stray Cat Rescue/Thrifty Kitty Second Hand Thrift Store is gearing up for its upcom-ing events and specials. On Aug. 31, they invite the public to join them at Mc-Clurg Park in Westfi eld on August 31 from 9 a.m. -2 p.m. where individuals will have a chance to greet and meet a few of the kittens and cats who are up for adoption. (Perhaps one of them will tug at your heart-strings and you’ll go home with a friend for life!) Then take a short walk or drive

to our secondhand store at 59 East Main Street where you will have a chance to win a beautiful hand-made quilt, “CATMANIA!” (Provided you have bought a raffl e ticket beforehand.)

If you can’t make it to the park that day, be sure to mark you calendar for the week of September 3-6. During those four days, The Thrifty Kitty will be offering 50% off of everything in the store! So, for bargains galore, stop in the store from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Last, but not least, on Fri-day September 6, Thrifty Kitty Second Hand Store will extend its hours from 5-8 p.m. as part of the village-wide “fi rst Fri-

westfi eld stray cat rescue Host-ing meet and greet Aug. 31

The public can meet the kittens and cats available for adoption during a meet and greet at McClurg Park in Westfi eld.

This week we are featuring “Daisy” and “Mitsy”. Daisy is a sweet 3 year old beagle. Her owner no longer had enough time for her so she is looking for a new family to be her forever home. She is housebroken, likes kids and does fi ne with other dogs. Mitsy is a 2 1/2 year old long-haired, full fi gured girl. She is really lovable, likes to get as much at-tention as she can and would do well in almost any home. She will need frequent brushing to keep her coat beautiful and free of mats. If you think that you could provide a loving home for either of these pets, please stop in at the Strunk Road Adoption Center to meet them or any of their friends awaiting adoption. You are their 2nd chance at a great life.

SOON!Contributed ArticleAlzheimer’s Association

For most of the hundreds of Southern Tier residents who Walk to End Alzheimer’s at the Chautauqua Institu-tion every fall, the reason they walk is personal—they have been affected in some way by Alzheimer’s disease. Across Cattaraugus and Chautauqua counties, it’s estimated there are more than 7,500 people who have the disease, with another 22,000 providing some kind of care for them.

Among those caregiv-ers is the family of the late Nancy (Littlejohns) George of Olean, who had the disease. Nanette Hig-gins, one of Nancy’s four daughters, says her mother “would be delighted to see so many people walking to end this disease because it is so isolating…it’s good to see people come together and support each other.” The walk, sponsored each year by the Alzheimer’s Association Western New York chapter, helps sustain the chapter’s outreach, including care consultations and education, as well as funding research aimed at ending this disease. Once again, the Chautauqua Institution will host the walk on Sept. 7.

Nancy’s family has been walking for about 10 years as a team called “Nancy’s Girls”. “That’s what she called us…her girls” said granddaughter Elizabeth Galeazzo of Nancy’s four daughters and seven grand-daughters. Nancy was also a bit of a prankster, accord-ing to her family. “She liked nothing better than to hide and jump out and scare us, especially after we watched

a scary movie!” remembers daughter Ann McIntyre. That slowly changed as the disease progressed, said Nanette. “It was so hard to watch our mother become a stranger to us.” Nancy had Alzheimer’s many years, with the disease progressing as other illnesses impacted her health. “She lost a part of herself with every illness,” said Nanette.

These three women are joined on the Walk each year by another dozen fam-ily members. “We hope the walks accomplish more awareness for this disease that can affect anybody. And we hope to raise money for continued research for someday fi nding a cure. Also, we act as a huge sup-port group for each other because we share this com-mon bond,” said Elizabeth.

The annual event is open to everyone, and includes a touching Promise Garden ceremony. Every registered walker receives a vinyl fl ower pinwheel that can be personalized with a message or name. The fl owers come in four colors, with each

color representing a reason to Walk, such as having lost someone to Alzheimer’s or providing some kind of support. The fl owers are “planted” before the walk, and then retrieved as a take-home/remembrance of their loved one and the event.

Registration can be com-pleted quickly online by visiting the Alzheimer’s As-sociation Western New York Chapter website at alz.org/wny. Walk day activities be-gin at 9 a.m. at the Turner Community Center on the grounds of the Institution. More information is also available by calling 1-800-272-3900.

The Walk to End Alzheim-er’s is made possible through the generous support of these fi ne local companies:

ElderWood Senior Care, West Herr, Columbus McK-innon, and Tim Hortons, with media support pro-vided by The Jamestown Gazette, Media One Group and WKBW-TV.

Fredonia Place Sends Team

Fredonia Place, an assisted

living community with a memory care community in Fredonia also has a team participating at Chautau-qua Institution Alzheimer’s Memory Walk. Employees and their family members are raising funds by ac-cepting $10 donations for the walk. “We are hoping to raise money, and just as important raise awareness of how Alzheimer’s effects individuals and family,” said Jonelle Anderson, Fredonia Place case manager and team captain. “Not only do we have family members we are concerned about, but our residents are like family.”

Fredonia Place is the only facility in Northern Chau-tauqua County to host an Alzheimer’s support group, which meets the fourth Thursday of every month from 4:30- 6 p.m. at Fre-donia Place, located at 50 Howard St. Both caregivers and family members are welcome. For more infor-mation, interested persons may contact The Western New York Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association at 1-800-272-3900.

The Chautauqua County Visitors Bureau in Western New York State is prepar-ing to celebrate the fall season with the second an-nual Colors of Chautauqua learning festival. In a nod to its brand, the World’s Learning Center, the schedule highlights vaca-tion learning opportunities happening throughout the county from Labor Day through November includ-ing a Quilting Festival at Chautauqua Institution, historic cemetery tours with costumed guides in Jamestown and Fredonia, and workshops in subjects ranging from brewing to the game of Bridge.

The schedule includes dozens of workshops that enhance the visitor’s experience and compli-ment a strong line-up of fall festivals honoring Chautauqua’s agricultural heritage. Visitors might come for a class and visit the annual Busti Apple Fes-tival, Festival of Grapes in Silver Creek, or Red, White and Blues Festival in Fredonia. “With the Colors of Chautauqua, we are striving to broaden the leisure learning experience for visitors beyond the nine week program season at

Chautauqua Institution,” said Andrew Nixon, Execu-tive Director at the Chau-tauqua County Visitors Bureau. “The Colors of Chautauqua is a collection of several dozen classes, tours, dinners, tastings, and hands-on work experiences meant to entertain while engaging the mind in a new way.”

Participants might tap into their creative side with introductory art experi-ences like charcoal draw-ing, sculpture, plein-air (in the open air) painting, and leaf printing. Others might choose to stimulate their taste buds while becoming more knowledgeable about local foods. Culinary type experiences range from learning to preserve the lo-cal harvest to sitting down to a fi ve course Farm-to-Table dinner. There are opportunities to walk

through the vineyard with the winemaker to check the readiness of the grapes and another experience being a brewer for a day.

Tours through the coun-tryside highlight Amish life with stops at several different shops. The Roger Tory Peterson Institute of-fers two natural adventure tours with tips on identify-ing native birds, wildfl ow-ers and trees and a lesson on the natural history of the Chautauqua-Allegheny region.

Chautauqua County’s learning festivals have grown out of 139 year his-tory of vacation learning at Chautauqua Institution and other lakeside summer assemblies formed during the late nineteenth century. Workshops and classes are offered through local businesses and tourist at-

tractions as well as through SUNY Fredonia’s Lifelong Learning and Special Programs and Jamestown Community College’s Center for Continuing Education. Instructors are experienced educators, artists, professionals, or, in some cases, people who want to share a lifelong interest. Individual classes range in time and cost, and several take place outside or in a working environ-ment. While the Colors of Chautauqua is a seasonal festival, many of these experiences can be found throughout the year.

Descriptions of all the workshops offered dur-ing the Colors of Chau-tauqua can be found on the Chautauqua County Visitors’ Bureau website at www.tourchautauqua.com/colors-of-chautauqua.aspx. Chautauqua County is located in the southwestern corner of New York State with New York’s largest grape growing region, fi ve lakes, Victorian-era villages and Amish com-munities, and Lucille Ball’s hometown of Jamestown. For more information and a schedule of vacation learning events during the Colors of Chautauqua as well as throughout the year, call 1-866-908-4569 or visit www.tourchautauqua.com.

Last week, the northern hemisphere experienced what some folks call a “blue moon.” To some, it may have seemed like just an-other full moon, although an incredibly bright one. For others, the blue moon this month was a celestial event worth acknowledging since the rare occurrence of a blue moon only happens every three years or so.

This blue moon was of the seasonal type, which means it was an extra moon in the season. A season normally has three moons, but when there are four moons in a season, the third moon of the season is designated as the blue moon. A calendar blue moon on the other hand is the second full moon of a calendar month, which last occurred in Sep-tember 2012. Whether a blue moon happens season-ally or is the second moon

of the month, this event takes place every few years, making it a “once in a blue moon” or “blue moon spe-cial” worthy of recognition.

Every month, the moon orbits around the earth, taking approximately 29.5 days to complete the cycle. The phases of the moon are used to describe where the moon is in the sky as it travels around the earth. The part of the moon that is visible to the eye is also the part of the moon being lit by the sun, which makes the moon so bright in the night sky. A new moon is the moon phase where no part of the moon is visible because the sun and the moon are both located on the same side of the earth. As the new moon becomes full, it is referred to as the waxing moon and passes through the fi rst quar-ter crescent moon at 90 degrees in the sky. At 180 degrees, directly above, the moon is on one side of the earth and the sun on the other, illuminating the entire hemisphere of the moon creating the full moon. As the moon con-tinues to travel around the earth, the visible portion wanes and becomes the last crescent moon of the month at 270 degrees in the sky before returning to its new moon phase of the lunar month.

Since lunar months are shorter than calendar months, occasionally the moon and calendar do not coincide and there is a thir-teenth month that occurs in the calendar year. This ex-tra moon often takes place in spring, earning it the nickname “belewe” which meant “to betray”. This spring moon was known as the betrayer, or “belewe” moon of the Lenten season, causing practitioners to fast for an extra month during the pre-Easter springtime. Blue moons that occur dur-ing the late summer and fall months, such as the one last week, are sometimes referred to as a harvest moon or hunters moon, which feeds the folk tales of abundant harvests or hunts that take place during this special full moon.

Coincidentally, the moon is not the only piece of our natural world that cycles every 28 days. As women, our own natural cycle fol-lows the same phase of the moon. They may not al-ways coincide with the new or full moon phase, but the moon acts as a gentle daily reminder that we are part of the natural earthly rhythms as we experience our monthly cycles or our own maturity from new moon child to full moon grandmother.

The phases of the moon can be used to honor cer-tain aspects of a woman’s life and assist her with the challenges of life’s transi-tions. For example, one young woman honors each phase of the moon, start-ing new projects during the new moon, being social during the full and de-clut-tering her life during the waning. “The moon and sun and seasons infl uence pretty much my every day.”

Another woman honors “the moon on the fi rst night of my cycle” as she practices her new knowl-edge of moon cycles and

its affect on her life. Some women use moon cycles as their creative time to write or do arts and crafts, others keep moon diaries or journals to collect their meditative thoughts and some may simply choose to watch the moon traverse across the night sky, taking solace in knowing that like the sun, the moon will always shine.

The next blue moon is not scheduled to happen until July 2015 for a calendar blue moon or May 2016 for a seasonal blue moon, but there is a full moon every month to draw us in and

remind us of our relation-ship to the natural world around us. The next full moon falls on Septem-ber 19, which is also the autumnal equinox, the fi rst day of the fall season which is a time for harvesting and gathering our hard sum-mer’s work and preparing for the refl ective winter months.

Take the time on this next full moon to look up and take in the magic of the night sky. While the moon may not be blue or even visible due to cloud cover, it will still be there, you can count on it.

By Meg PickardStar Contributing Writer

Chautauqua County EMS receives an average of 20 calls per day requesting assistance for a fall victim. We have the highest num-ber of fall-related emer-gency department visits per year in Western and Central New York State with hospitalization costs

upwards of $5.4 million. Our fall-related death rate is the highest in the nation.

Things don’t have to be this way. Falls are prevent-able. They don’t have to be a part of our aging process and rob us of our indepen-dence.

The YMCA has partnered with the Centers of Disease Control to help disseminate a program entitled Moving

for Better Balance. It is an evidence-based fall pre-vention program for older adults. It consists of gentle exercises and strategies to avoid falls.

The exercises include a core 8-form Tai Chi routine and a subroutine of eight integrated thera-peutic movements. Practice focuses on stimulating mus-culoskeletal and sensory

systems via self-initiated movements such as body weight shifting, unilat-eral weight-bearing, trunk rotation, ankle sways and coordinated eye-head-hand movements. Research par-ticipants who engaged in these exercises at least three times a week saw an aver-age of 55% improvement in their balance within a 26-week period of time.

The research for this program continues with re-spect to Parkinson patients. As was reported in the February 2012 New Eng-land Journal of Medicine, “Moving for Better Balance training appears to reduce balance impairments in patients with mild-to-mod-erate Parkinson’s disease, with additional benefi ts that improved functional

capacity and reduced falls.”

The next 12-week ses-sion of Moving for Better Balance begins Sept. 10. Classes will be held at the Lakewood Y on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8 to 9 a.m. and at the Jamestown Y on Tuesdays and Thurs-days from 10 to 10:45 a.m. Advance registration is required. For more infor-mation, call 664-2802.

Contributed ArticleWCA Hospital

The Holmberg Foundation recently made a $9,800 grant to WCA Hospital for the purchase of a bladder scanner for the Ambulatory Services Center (ASC).

ASC nurses now have the ability to utilize the bladder scanner to more effec-

tively and effi ciently assess patients before and after surgery, or who may be dealing with or have a his-tory of bladder infections and other bladder-related issues.

The mobile bladder scan-ner enables the nurses to view the bladder and its contents more accurately through sonogram tech-nology, a process that is

completely non-invasive and only requires the use of a jelly-like transmission fl uid.

This vital piece of equip-ment enables the ASC to reduce the number of catheterizations performed, thereby reducing the risk of urinary tract infections. While a catheterization procedure takes fi fteen to twenty minutes to perform,

the bladder scanner only takes one to two minutes.

“We are very grateful to the Holmberg Foundation.” says Sharon Gustafson, RN, Senior Staff Nurse for the Ambulatory Services Center at WCA Hospital. “Thanks to their generos-ity, we can more effectively assess our patients, improve speed and dignity, and con-tinue to provide excellent

care to our patients and community. “

Created by the proceeds from the will of the late Arnold P. Holmberg, the Holmberg Foundation funds college scholarships and fellowships, supports organizations and pro-grams that help economi-cally disadvantaged people prepare for college, and funds Jamestown-area

charitable organizations as appropriate.

To support WCA Hospital, please contact Karl Sisson, Director of Development, at (716) 664-8423, visit www.wcahospital.org, or mail your tax-deductible gift to: WCA Offi ce of Development, PO Box 840, Jamestown, New York 14702-0840.

Many hands make light work. Driving through the streets of Jamestown last month you may have noticed homes surrounded by groups of teens and adults, working vigorously on various home improve-ment projects. Over 350 volunteers from near and far arrived at Jamestown’s Washington Middle School on Sunday, July 21 to begin a week long Work Camp. During this week, 50 homes in the city under-went signifi cant changes that not only assisted the homeowners but also helped to change the face of those neighborhoods. Chautauqua Opportu-nities, Inc. in partner-ship with the Jamestown Renaissance Corporation, and with Community Development Block Grant funding from the City of Jamestown, sponsored this camp to assist low income and elderly homeowners make necessary repairs and renovations to their homes.

The Jamestown Renais-sance Corporation and Chautauqua Opportunities worked together to target specifi c neighborhoods within Jamestown, focusing on transitional neighbor-hoods and areas of the City where other investment is occurring, such as the neighborhood challenges sponsored by the Renais-sance Corporation. Once participants were identi-fi ed, Chautauqua Oppor-tunities staff worked with homeowners to determine their renovation needs and repairs that could be com-pleted by an all-volunteer staff. Many of the homes received exterior painting, new stairs on front or back porches, minor weatheriza-tion repairs and interior painting.

Volunteers were organized through Group Mission Trips, a Christian orga-nization that has served hundreds of thousands of people in need through more than 6 million volun-teer hours. Youth groups from around the country came to Jamestown to help those in need and to learn home repair, team build-ing and other important life skills. Many of the youth have participated in “Group” for numerous years stating that it’s the week they look forward to most in the summer. One of the Group Site Coordi-nators Annie explained, “This was one of the most disjointed groups of kids I had seen on Sunday, and by Wednesday it was a complete transformation. The determination to fi nish what they’d started and the realization that working together is the best way to accomplish that… has been nothing short of amazing to watch.”

Group Work Camps aren’t just a learning experience for the youth participants, though. Many homeowners joined in on the work being done at their homes. Ho-meowner, Kathy R., was a constant presence through-out the week, directing the group of youth that assem-bled at her home to com-plete exterior weatheriza-tion and interior painting projects. Kathy is a proud homeowner that used to complete many home repairs on her own and has recently been unable to continue this upkeep due to health issues that she has faced. When asked about her experience with the Group, Kathy said, “They’ve been amazing. I truly feel blessed. People have to remember that they’re just kids though. They’re not perfect, but they work hard.”

The week was one full of

character building, hard work, and renewal of both the homes and the people touched by the project. The hope is that the revitalization efforts do not stop there. There are many beautiful homes and neighborhoods in

Jamestown that may just need a helping hand. As in all situations, Chautauqua Opportunities seeks to serve customers holistically, and in instances where

home repairs needed were too extensive or technical for this project, COI works with other funding sources to address all the needs. If you or someone you know

needs help with home re-pairs, contact Chautauqua Opportunities at (716) 661-9430 or visit www.chautau-quaopportunities.com.

care to our patients and community. “

Edgewood Communities will host its next seminar in the Best of Times Series entitled Preparing for the Big “M” – Medicare 101. The community is invited to Warner Place, Aldren Avenue, on the Lutheran Campus, Thursday, Sept. 12 at 6:30 p.m. Janell Sluga, Certifi ed Geriatric Care Manager for the Se-nior Life Matters program will be the presenter. Res-ervations are appreciated by calling 716-720-9122.

Ms. Sluga will begin with the very basics of what Medicare is and how it works and then cover how to wade through all the information to determine what applies and what doesn’t. Handouts will be available.

“We’re coming up on Open Enrollment for Medicare and people are barraged with information from Medicare and other sources,” Mrs. Sluga said. “Some of it is legitimate and some of it isn’t. The vocabulary can be very overwhelming. We’ll cover these topics in the semi-nar.” She suggests that peo-ple begin learning about Medicare as early as the age of 60. The seminar will also be helpful for caregiv-ers who are responsible for making Medicare decisions and who need guidance.

“Insurance can be in-timidating and scary,” Mrs. Sluga added. “There are so many options to choose from that if people don’t know the best choice for their situation, it can have a huge fi nancial impact.”

Edgewood Communities is part of Lutheran Senior

Housing and is located on the Lutheran Campus off Falconer Street in Jame-stown. Units include one and two bedroom apart-ments, duplex homes and the new Smartment®

Building. For more infor-mation about the seminar or Lutheran Housing, call Patty Eckwahl at 720-9122 or log onto www.lutheran-jamestown.org/senior-housing.

The Solution to Hard Times Part 3

This natural world is experiencing some diffi cult trials in these days. Gas prices are on the rise and the world economy is struggling. Ma-jor world confl ict is threatening in the Middle East. Diseases are de-stroying entire continents. There would be plenty to be discouraged about if we didn’t have the solu-tions to these problems already.

Remember back to your school days. Think of how many tests and quizzes you were required to pass. Think of how much stress they caused you as a young person as you studied. But what if you would have had the answers to those tests beforehand? Do you think that would have reduced your anxiety level? Of course it

would. Now think about all the struggles that come against us in this life. Wouldn’t it help if you had the answers and outcomes beforehand? That’s exactly what the Word of God is to us. God knew that the world and demonic forces would test us in life. So what did God do? He gave us all the answers ahead of time!

2 Corinthians 4:18 says, “While we do not look at the things which are seen but at the things which are not seen: for the things that are seen are temporary but the things that are not seen are eternal.” This verse is trying to teach us that we do not have to live under the authority of the seen world. We can and should be living under the authority of the unseen realm where God lives. The unseen realm rules over the

seen world!

Remember: We are not to be enslaved to this seen world. That means we do not have to be sub-ject to worry and fear concerning gas prices, wars, disasters, dis-eases, and the economy. God said He would meet all my needs! (Phil 4:19) He said He would protect me from diseases and evil hap-penings! (Psalm 91:9-12) That’s what God said He would do for me when I dwell with Him. Now I have the responsibility to be saying the same things as God! This world should not scare us; we already have the answers!

Jesus said in Mark 11:22-23, “Have the God kind of faith. For truly I say to you that who-soever shall say to this mountain be removed and be cast into the

sea and shall NOT DOUBT IN HIS HEART BUT SHALL BELIEVE that those things which He says shall come to pass; HE SHALL HAVE WHATEVER HE SAYS.” Jesus is teaching us that our faith based on the Word of God which is spoken out of our mouths has the power to change the natural world. Your faith can cause this natural realm to yield and give way to the promises of God! Notice that faith MUST BE SPOKEN.

By declaring God’s Word in the face of circumstances, I am choosing not to participate in this world’s dilemmas. No sense in being broke, sick, and depressed. After all, as one minister said, I have a quarter in my pocket plus all the promises of God.

In 2003, Family Church of Fredonia, New York launched its fi rst satellite church in Jamestown. After a year, the church was incorporated and is today one of the largest churches in the Jamestown area.

Since then, two other Fam-ily Churches have been successfully planted- one in Warren, Pennsylvania and one in South Dayton, New York. In September of 2013, the total number will rise again as another

two churches are launched- Olean, New York and North East, Pennsylvania.

Rev. Michael Lokietek, who is the senior pastor of Family Church Fredonia and recently founded Fam-ily Church International, has the fervent passion to launch more churches throughout the area, and beyond.

“For years, I’ve believed that God has called us to reach this region with the gospel,” said Rev. Loki-etek. “This is another step toward that. Starting two more churches is just a taste of things to come.”

Rev. Mike and Courtney Anderson, who currently pastor the South Dayton church, will head up the Olean work. Services will be held weekly on Sat-urdays at 6 p.m. starting Sept. 7. They’ll begin in the Hampton Inn located on Main St. in Olean- a fairly traditional way to start a Family Church. The Family Church Jamestown began in Jamestown’s Holiday Inn, and Starbrick Family Church in Warren’s Holiday Inn.

“Our motto for Family Church of Cattaraugus County [South Dayton and

Olean] has been ‘where the promises of God become a reality’” said Rev. Ander-son, who, with his wife, has led South Dayton since its inception in 2010. “There is so much in the Bible that God wants for people to have, and it’s our desire to show that to them.”

Heading up the North East work will be the Rev. Tim and Penny Pilarski. Cur-rently, Rev. Pilarski serves at the Fredonia church, and will be leaving to launch North East Family Church on Sunday, Sept. 8 at 10 a.m. The church is located at 16 N. Lake St. in

the historic Pennsylvania village.

“We are excited about becoming part of the North East community,” said Rev. Pilarski. “North East is a great area, so full of life. Everyone we’ve met has been very friendly.”

The Pilarskis are currently attending ministry train-ing school, and have served faithfully in the ministry of helps in Fredonia for nearly two decades. Having just retired from a lifelong career in New York State Corrections, Rev. Pilarski is excited to step into the next phase of his life.

Looking forward, Rev. Lokietek intends to keep going with the trend of church planting.

“We’ve started a ministry training center in Jame-stown, and we’re constantly preparing ministers to be sent out to start churches,” he said. “God has divinely orchestrated every church we’ve planted, and we’re excited for what He has for the Family Churches going forward.”

Imagine for a moment that a revered elder of our community was gravely ill. Imagine also that our Cre-ator gave our community a great gift that can be used for healing and prevention of illness, and many other wonderful uses. To thank the Creator for the gift, and increase the power of the medicine to be given to our revered elder, we would use this gift. The gift is a special game. Everyone in the community gathers by the water to watch the great game. Two teams, made up of a hundred men each, face each other on a field that has no boundaries, only a single tall post or tree, to be reached at nearly any cost. Each man clutches an ex-traordinary piece of sports equipment. This equip-ment, hand carved, bent, and woven will catch, carry, pass, and throw a special ball, made under ritual conditions. Woven strips of leather conceal symbols of nature and powerful medi-cine contained within the ball, which has been made as hard as stone.

All in the community watch as a center man drops the ball, and the game com-mences. Whoever wins or whoever loses, is not important. What is impor-tant is thanking the Cre-ator for the great gift, and accepting what the Creator decides will be the fate of the revered elder. All have come together, in coopera-tion and reverence, for this special spiritual purpose, which will remembered for thousands of years.

To capture a glimpse of the astonishing history be-hind the Native American game of Lacrosse, as well as many other traditional Native American games, art forms, stories, and prac-tices, the Boys and Girls Club of Northern Chau-

tauqua County is pleased to welcome the community to a “Celebration of Native American Traditions.” The celebration will be held on Sunday, September 29th, 2013, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Clarion Hotel, Marina & Confer-ence Center, at 30 Lake-shore Drive, Dunkirk, NY.

Traditional Native Ameri-can games including Lacrosse, “Hoop and Spear Game,” and “Jack Sticks.” will highlight the festivities. Bill Crouse, group leader of the Allegany River Indian Dancers, explains, “’La-crosse,’ a ruff and tumble game, was used as enter-tainment and sometimes as an alternative to war. The object of this game is to throw the ball thru two

upright goal posts. The old version of the game had no rules. Each player uses a netted stick to throw, catch and shoot the ball. It has been modernized and is played these days on an official field or box. Play-ers wear pads and there are rules to the game. Its still remains a rough game. It is considered the Iro-quois National Sport.” He continued, “‘Jacksticks’ is a game that is very similar to lacrosse. The difference being instead of using a netted stick, a stick similar to a field hockey stick is used. Instead of throwing a ball thru the goal two small sticks or balls tied together by a leather thong are used.” Women often play “Jacksticks.”

In addition to these and other game demonstra-tions, the ancient Native American art of making a Lacrosse stick, will be demonstrated by distin-guished Native American wood carver Richard Kettle (Heron Clan, Seneca). This art form is still practiced by only a few accomplished traditional artists. Recog-nized for his dedication to the heritage and culture of his people, Kettle also cre-ates “snow snakes,” walking sticks, cradle boards, horn rattles, water drums, black ash splint baskets and other traditional items. Through working with woods such as hickory, cedar, maple, ebony, and black ash, Kettle preserves the lives and skills of his ancestors. He com-mented, “Through my art,

I express my dreams and vi-sions, carrying out the will of the Creator.” By watch-ing his grandfather, Francis Kettle, Richard learned the ancient arts of making lacrosse sticks, snow snakes, and working with wood.

Other special demonstra-tions and displays by tradi-tional artists include Peter Jones (nationally recognized potter and sculptor); Penny Minner (basket weaver); Debbie Hoag (corn husk doll maker); and Blaine Tallchief, Gastowë (head-dress) maker. The Allegany River Indian Dancers, led by Bill Crouse, will perform a number of Native Ameri-can social dances. Tradi-tional foods, displays, and vendors will also be part of this wonderful event. The

event is free and open to the public.

The Boys & Girls Club of Northern Chautauqua County actively seeks to enrich the lives of girls and boys. Every day we demon-strate our commitment to our children by providing them with access to qual-ity program activities that will enhance their lives and shape their futures. Our Mission is to inspire and enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to realize their full potential as produc-tive, responsible and caring citizens. We provide ap-propriate and diversified programs and activities that serve to attract and hold area youth to the Club and provide an environ-ment that teaches children the tools needed to build positive lives, attitudes and behaviors.

A local chef has made it as a semi-finalist in the U.S. Foods “Next Top Product” Competition for his twist on a classic mozzarella ap-petizer, called “arancini.”

Brian Bundy, head chef of Liberty Food and Spirits in Fredonia recently placed in the top 55 out of 1,000 en-tries from across the coun-try in the second round of competition judged by corporate chefs from U.S. Foods, one of the largest food supply companies in the United States. The competition was open to restaurants of all sizes with judging based on taste, originality and scalability.

Bundy is a Brocton native who has worked as a chef locally for the last 16 years, learning his craft on the job. He entered the dish in the competition this past July and has been serv-ing his version of arancini at the Fredonia eatery for over a year.

Arancini is a traditional Italian dish consisting of a risotto ball stuffed with mozzarella cheese, bread-ed, fried and served with marinara sauce. Bundy says his version is “a dif-ferent spin on the classic mozzarella stick appetizer

that you can get anywhere. This is a little more refined; it’s homemade and just all around a better dish.”

The next line of voting happens online and the public is invited to visit www.usfoods.com/ntp to cast their vote for Liberty Food and Spirits. Votes can be cast once a day until September 20.

Eight finalists who get the most votes will compete in a head-to-head cook off at the World Food Champi-onships in Las Vegas on November 8, the winner taking home $20,000. U.S Foods “own” the recipe, mass-producing it for its customers.

To garner support for Bundy and his creation,

Liberty Food and Spirits owner Cindy Conti will host free tastings at the restaurant on Friday and Saturday, Aug. 30 and 31 at 6 p.m.

The public can also sample the dish on Friday, Sep-tember 6, at 5 p.m. at the Nickel Plate Restaurant in Brocton, and at the Taste of Fredonia on Sept. 7 in Barker Commons.

Liberty Food and Spirits is located on 21 Prospect St., in Fredonia and is open Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. – 9 p.m.

Liberty Food and Spirits beginning at 6 p.m. and “Red Rhythm” at the Fredonia Beaver Club at approximately 8 p.m.

A full slate of activities is on tap for Saturday, including vendors selling their wares at the Fredonia Farmers’ Market beginning at 8am, the “Kickstands Up AMVETS Motorcycle Run” will get rolling at 11:30 a.m. at Valentine’s and the start of the Taste of Fredonia at noon.

Live music starts promptly at noon with “The Un-touchables” performing in the Barber Common Gaze-bo and will be followed by “Tommy Z Band” starting at 1pm at The White Inn, “The Electras” beginning at 2 p.m. at Coughlan’s and “Harvey & The Hurri-canes” at 3 p.m. at Eastside Grille.

Following the showcase concert by the Mick Hayes Band, evening musical entertainment will include “Mark Winsick Band” at 6pm at Lil Magill’s, “Roll The Dice” at 7 p.m. at DeJohn’s, “Coal Train” at

8 p.m. at 41 West, “Jony James Blues Band” at 9 p.m. at EBC West and “Mo Porter” at 10 p.m. at Valentine’s.

The ability for locally owned and operated busi-nesses based in Fredonia to showcases themselves over the two days of activities helps visitors to the village learn more about the vari-ous retail and dining op-tions that are based in the region. Restaurants, bars and wineries are expected to have extra manpower on hand all weekend to serve up food and beverages to festival goers.

Co-Chair Jim Nau said that he has recruited six local wineries this year, which will provide samples of their products, as well as offering bottles of wine for sale. Always part of the event, Nau said that the number of participating wineries has risen this year. Wineries include 21 Brix, Mazza Winery, Johnson Estate Winery, Willow Creek Winery, Liberty Vineyards and Winery and the Winery of Ellicottville.

The list of participating bars for 2013 includes The Beaver Club, Liberty Food and Spirits, The White Inn, Coughlan’s, Eastside Grille, DeJohn’s, 41 West, EBC West and Valentine’s. In addition, the Taste of Fredonia 2013 participants include The White Inn, Cathy’s Confections, The Cakery, Pizza Hut, Kanga-roo Café, The Brick Room and The Liberty Food & Spirits.

The event is made possible by the support of various sponsors, including Fre-donia Beaver Club, DFT Communications, Fredonia Animal Hospital, Time Pieces Gift Shop, Robert Basil Chevy-Buick-Cadil-lac, Lakeshore Orthopedic Group, P-Dubs and the Town of Pomfret.

10 CHAUTAUQUA STARFRIDAY, AUGUST 30, 2013regionAl wAnDerer

By Jen PulverStar Contributing Writer

When we set a date with several couples to head down to Presque Isle Downs to attend a horse race I must admit my biggest concern was if I should wear a hat! I didn’t think much about the races, the horses, the jockeys or that I had no knowledge on how to “play the po-nies.” What I discovered at Presque Isle Downs, aside from the fact that female at-tendees generally are NOT wearing large, flamboyant hats is that an evening out at the horse races with friends can be more entertainment than gambling.

What was interesting

I loved visiting the Paddock to view the horses prior to the races. Of course, as a girl, I was infatuated with horses. The size and beauty of these animals was never lost on me and throughout my life I’ve loved living in our rural area and the op-portunity it brings to drive along any back road and see horses in pastures. At the races, the Paddock is where the horses are kept prior to the race and the attendees of the race are invited to visit the area to scope out the “best” horses for their bets.

Let me tell you, the horses

are beautiful! As we were able to get fairly close to them they all seemed to be very well kept, and to my unofficial eye, genetically at the top of the species in strength and form. Of course since horse racing is in fact a business it makes sense that the horses are well kept by their owners.

For a an expert in the sport, I’m sure this is a time to look at the bone structure, health, and lineage of any given horse but for a novice like myself it was a time to familiarize myself with the horses names and marvel at the amazing stature of the horses.

Most of our group of friends were new to horse racing so we admired each horse and began making assumptions on the horses and respective jockey using amusing and absurd assumptions. Ran-dom acts by the horses like tail swishing, ear twitching and hoof lifting became “obvious” signs that a particular horse was indeed ready to claim the winning circle that evening. In a side note interesting to gender psychology, most of the men in our group took to looking through paperwork that was provided about “winning” odds, where as the women in our group seemed to gravitate toward non-verbal clues provided by the horses.

In my opinion, neither method seems to bear more relevance than the other when trying to choose the winners. We laughed and teased one another about the choices we were all making and the beginning whiffs of competition were forming among us.

Placing our bets

I discovered that placing bets in horse racing can be simple or complicated. There are straight bets and exotic bets. Straight bets are the least complicated. They are: Win - You win if your horse finishes 1st. Place - You win if your horse fin-ishes 1st or 2nd. Show - You win if your horse finishes 1st, 2nd, or 3rd. There are also opportunities to place exotic bets which involve specific horses finishing in specific rankings. As imag-ined these types of bets are much harder to predict-they also tend to pay out greater sums (if you can wager on them correctly.)

Basically, our group stuck with straight bets that didn’t cost us much. We sat some races out and participated in others. On my first bet I was a bit nervous ap-proaching the teller to place my bet simply because I had been told to be speedy so as to not hold up the line. Horse race betting in

NOT like buying lipstick at the cosmetics counter—lingering is not encouraged. Some of our group mem-bers, having success early on, placed a few exotic bets. We played the following: EXACTA- You’re bet-ting on two horses to come in first and second in an exact order, QUINELLA- With a quinella bet, you’re betting on two horses to come in first and second in any order. As long as your two horses finish in the top two spots, you win. TRIFECTA- You bet that three horses will finish in first, second, and third in an exact order. Of these exotic bets only one quinella paid off and there was a fair amount of gloating to ac-company that win.

During the Races

Now here’s the exciting part of each race…we took our seats and when the race started it was hard not to get

over involved with cheering on “your” horse. Although the races were each fairly quick-each was filled with excitement and entertain-ment. It was that Superbowl feeling of rooting for a spe-cific winner. Whooping and hollering, the joy of winning and the “failure” of defeat was contagious among our group and those around us.

Many times we were up on our feet cheering, if not for our own horse but for an-other group members horse when our own bet clearly wasn’t going to come in. There were a few instances of a horse we bet on coming from behind which was fun.

Between races we chatted about the races but also the things that friends chat about during a get together. Attending the races felt like entertainment, an experi-ence, an outing. It was wonderful to be outside, enjoying the weather while

having the race to focus on periodically. Unlike other sports where the action is fairly consistent and you are paying attention to the game, the horse races had a great pace for a wonderful evening with friends full of conversation, camaraderie and a bit of competition. I liked that there was a lot of history and tradition behind it.

Though hardly the Ken-tucky Derby I was able to see why so many people love that event and all an evening of “playing the ponies” can offer. Truly it was entertaining and for the most part fairly cheap when you consider the cost of most professional sport-ing events. All in all, we won some money and lost some money. We still had a great time and Presque Isle Downs provided us with a great evening.

Presque isle for a day, weekend or vacation

presque isle state park

By Scott WiseStar News Writer

Some time ago, one of my closest friends took his girlfriend to Presque Isle, Pennsylvania. They often spent their Sunday after-noons on the beach there, but I couldn’t figure out why he was so particularly excited about it.

It wasn’t but an hour after they’d left that I received the picture on my iPhone- she had a ring on her finger. Of course, we were all thrilled for them. But I couldn’t figure out why, when we have so many beaches in this area, he chose to head an hour away to pop the question.

This question boggled my mind for around 18 months. Then my wife and I decided to do something special to celebrate our first night out since our second child was born. We sent the kids to Grandma’s and Grandpa’s house, and took off for Erie. What we expe-rienced when we got there was incredible.

Maybe you’ve been to Presque Isle, but I hadn’t before this. Sure, I’ve taken more trips to Waldameer Park than I can remember, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Continue head-ing down the road, down and around the corner, and it’s like stepping into a completely different world. Here we go from the busyness and five lane traffic that is Erie, and pass through a portal into the peace and serenity of a

state park.

What you should under-stand about me is that I’ve had more than my fair share of experiences at state parks. I practi-cally grew up in an RV, with most of our summer weekends spent at vari-ous campgrounds around this area and beyond. But there was something about the way that Presque Isle presented itself that made it different. It was reminis-cent to me of stepping into a vacation world, almost like the Florida Keys. A long stretch of dry land centered between a pictur-esque harbor and the open waters of Lake Erie.

We continued down the main park road for about fifteen minutes or so, taking in the grandeur of the park. Eventually, we wanted to find a place to get out and experience one of these

beaches that we’d heard so much about. Once we figured out how to cross over to the other side of the peninsula, we stepped onto beach seven.

I should pause here and say that this entire trip was a bit of a challenge for me. Usually, I’m a guy who likes to be in control of the situation. If I’m going somewhere I don’t know, I study maps for hours to make sure I know the roads around the area, the townships and the stops we’re going to make. But, in my assumption that Presque Isle State Park was a small beach area, I didn’t prepare. It was exhilarat-ing, though. I had no idea what beach we should visit. Hadn’t read reviews, hadn’t asked anyone. We were able to form a com-pletely independent opinion of the area, and I value that.

As we parked the car and got out, I wasn’t too blown away. There weren’t a lot of people there, and the buildings were all closed up, which seemed odd for a Friday evening in July. But we took off our shoes and walked over a sandy dune to a view that took my breath away.

I have lived within 15 minutes of Lake Erie my entire life, and I’ve never seen it like this. The waves crashing over the perfectly placed break-walls brought to life my once calm and serene lake with a power similar to the Pacific Ocean. The perfect sand of the beach was like that of the St. Martin beaches I’d visited in my teens, and the vastness of it all was mind boggling.

We decided to walk west on the beach, heading further out toward the

end of the peninsula, and found ourselves flirting and pushing each other into the sand and breaking waves. I intended to stay dry, but it didn’t last long. Holding the hand of my beloved, we just walked and talked for what felt like forever, a peaceful conversation with no toddler or newborn begging for attention in the background.

After we heard some thun-der and saw a storm rolling toward us over the horizon, we decided to head back to the car. We drove slowly back toward the park entrance and it wasn’t five minutes later we planned our next visit. My parents were celebrating 39 years of marriage the follow-ing day, so we’d take them

and our boys out to dinner at the classic style burger and ice cream joint named Sara’s, perfectly located next to the park.

I’ve studied some of the history of Presque Isle since then, and the role it played in the development of the city of Erie. It’s amazing how perfectly it was cre-ated, harvesting a natural harbor for a city to grow and flourish on trade and business. After our week-end, I can confidently say that- to anyone looking to wander- head to Presque Isle State Park. Whether you stay for an hour, a day or camp at the camp-ground, I guarantee you’ll leave rested, refreshed and in awe of its splendor.

Education is directly re-lated to workforce develop-ment, and President Barack Obama’s Western New York stop recently points to crucial needs around mak-ing higher education more affordable for middle class families. While the rare Presidential visit in our region created a certain amount of hype, it was the content of his address that is most meaningful for students, families, col-leges, and ultimately the local business community. The crux of the message surrounds making higher education more affordable, especially for middle class Americans, and it centers on ratings and responsibil-ity for colleges, students, and the government.

The President’s remarks focused on creation of a new ratings system that would provide more trans-parent information about costs and outcomes so that families can make decisions about colleges based on both affordability and their ability to meet students’ academic needs. The scorecard would include in-formation about graduation rates, loan default rates, amount borrowed, and employment. In addition, student would be required to complete course work in order to maintain federal aid, and the administra-tion’s Pay as You Earn program would be expand-ed to allow more students to take advantage of the option to cap student loan repayment at 10 percent of monthly income.

The Chamber/MAST is already involved in educa-tional initiatives in Chau-

tauqua County. For several years we have operated the Dream It Do It initiative, focused on encouraging high school students to consider careers in manu-facturing, many of which do require some level of higher education, whether it is specialized training, a Certifi cate, Associates or Bachelor’s degree. This year, we were instrumental in putting together the new STEM Education Coali-tion in Chautauqua County which focuses on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math educational op-portunities to help create an even sharper focus on education targeted at high-tech careers including manufacturing, healthcare, and more.

Affordability is a critical component of any higher education plan. If students don’t plan carefully or come from a family that has signifi cant resources, the cost of getting a de-gree or certifi cate can easily result in substantial loan debt. The President acknowledged that college loan debt already creates a substantial drag on our entire economy. Just as young people are begin-ning their careers they may not be able to purchase a home or start a family of their own.

We stand ready to work with anyone or any organi-zation that is ready to focus on holding down the costs of higher education, and we thank the President for choosing our part of New York State to launch these priorities nationally.

Every time a new busi-ness starts in Chautauqua County, we consider it cause for celebration. Hardworking men and women who are doing their part to boost our economy; all the while helping to make the American Dream come to fruition in their lives.

Recently, in Arkwright, one such person has realized her dream of owning her own veterinary practice. Katie Ball, DVM, held the grand opening for Ark-wright Veterinary Services (AVS) in July of this year, and is a shining example of the benefi ts of stick-to-itiveness.

“Ever since I was a little girl, I knew I wanted to work with animals,” said Ball. “I’ve always known that, someday, I’d be the one who came to farms and houses to take care of the horses and sheep and all the farm animals. It’s really exciting for me.”

Ball, who’s practice is located on a picturesque country road in the hills of northeastern Chautau-qua County, has worked with large animals (horses, cows, sheep, etc.) for years. Additionally, she’s had more than her fair share of experience with small ani-mals, having worked at the Fredonia Animal Hospital from 2006 until December of last year.

“I could see that it was getting to be too much for me to do the large animal

practice on the side, and still work during the week,” said Ball. “I began laying the ground work; talking to a contractor, working with licensing to get this place rolling. After a little while, here we are.”

Ball used to work with a business in the south coun-ty area to handle equine, or horse, care. When the recession hit, she made the move to start handling those calls on her own. Since then, her reputation with the horse-loving folk of our area has become one of trust and reliability, especially since horses hold a particularly special place in her heart.

“I was that little girl who always wanted a horse,” said Ball, with a smile beaming from ear to ear. “It took my dad until I was 19 to do it, but he got me two horses that year. I still have them now. I love working with horses.”

Ball’s practice focuses around general medicine for animals of all sizes. Vaccinations, spaying and neutering and most sick-nesses can be taken care of in house. “I’ll refer folks to a specialist if I can’t do it, but we’ve got everything here that we need to do what we need to do,” said Ball. With new cabinets, new kennels, new anesthet-ic and sterilization ma-chines, AVM still carries that ‘new car’ smell when you walk in.

She takes any animal by appointment, and can usu-ally work with emergency situations; especially since her practice is located on

her property. Primarily, though, her passion is for farm animals.

“Anything from the fam-ily sheep to the 25 barn cats, we’ll take care of it,” said Ball. “I know that a lot of farmers have a lot of animals, and costs can get incredibly high to take care of them all.” Since the practice is based out of a completely renovated attachment to the family barn, overhead is minimal. This allows Ball to keep her costs to clients down.

Ball was born and raised in Arkright, and she now lives in the home she grew up in, on property that’s been in the family for generations. The practice, located at 2879 Ball Road in Cas-sadaga, is even located on a country road named after her grandparents. She at-tained her undergraduate degree from SUNY Fredo-nia before heading to St. Kitts to fi nish her degree program.

“It was great for the fi rst few months, but it eventu-ally stopped feeling like vacation,” Ball said of island life. “We’d look for any excuse to get off the island.”

After graduating from veterinary school, the next step for a future doctor is to get clinical experience at an actual veterinary prac-tice. Ball landed herself in Wisconsin. In January.

“It was quite a change from two and a half years in St. Kitts,” said Ball. She em-phasized, with more detail than this article will give, just how many layers one can wear and still handle

caring for a pregnant cow.

Moving back to the area in 2006, Ball built, and continues to build, rela-tionships with large and small animal owners in Chautauqua County. Look-ing to the future, Ball has plans to continue growing her business and focusing on specializing in ‘on-the-road’ care.

“We’ll go pretty much anywhere in a 45 minute, hour radius,” said Ball. “Most of my materials are mobile, and I can diagnose and do some care in the fi eld,” Eventually, Ball sees her business growing to support a full equine care facility, able to handle most horse injuries or illnesses, and an arena for rehab and diagnostics.

With professional care, a clean and new atmo-sphere, folks around the county should make the trip to Arkwright to check out Arkwright Veteri-nary Medicine. For more information, visit www.arkwrightvet.com or call Dr. Katie at 679-7900.

much hard cider dur-ing the day, at dusk these workmen gathered for the evening meal, consisting of enormous Johnny-cakes baked on boards, between the upper and lower layers of which, when split, were inserted huge slices of roast venison or bear’s meat.”

When the meal was over, it was written that “these frontiersmen gathered about the open camp fires, indulging in stories of wolf and bear hunting, often en-gaging in wrestling match-es and sometimes fights.”

“Soft Soap”

Harmony historian Pam Brown says after the ashes were collected, farmers would pour water on them to “leach” out lye, which was then used to make a very harsh or caustic-type soap, commonly used in households for many years. Darrow remembers mak-ing “soft soap,” as it was called by boiling fat scraps accumulated in the house-

hold with lye obtained from the wood ashes.

From lye, potash was also made, which was used in the manufacture of glass. The product was shipped far and wide as McMa-hon’s book notes, “potash was taken from the kettles and broken up and packed into barrels for shipment on keelboats down the Al-legheny to glass factories at Pittsburgh.”

Even more valuable than potash, was pearl ash. McMahon says special ovens at the asheries were required to make it, which used black salts made from potash, which turned gray when baked. Similar to baking power, the sub-stance would be used in cakes, corn break, pan-cakes and biscuits.

McMahon states in her book, “Pearl ashes from Chautauqua County were shipped to England by way of Montreal until the open-ing of the Erie Canal and

to New York by wagon.”

In “The History of Chau-tauqua County,” Andrew Young states that Walter Smith of Fredonia was the most extensively engaged merchant in the county in the sales of pot and pearl ash with sales over a six-year period in the early 1800s ranging from $20,000 to $45,000.

Ash, like other products, was affected by supply and demand, and despite these figures, producers were not always adequately com-pensated and “subjected to heavy loses.” In time, the county’s massive timber reserves would be gone, and with that the ashery business in Chautauqua County, once said to have manufactured more ashes than any other county along the shores of Lake Erie, died.

Although no historical re-minders of the ash industry remain, its impact on life in the county is undeni-

able. As Barrow noted in his writings, “Not only did this early commerce bring much needed cash, but it also promoted the clearing of the land, without which the progress of agriculture

and the building of towns and villages could not proceed.”

The public is invited to tour five interesting Victo-rian homes that were part of a bygone era in the cen-ter of Dunkirk by attend-ing the Dunkirk Historic House tour on Sat. Sept. 7

from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Highlighted in the tour is a display of art and works of George William Eggers (1883-1958) being shown at the Gross mansion. His family home, a Victorian cottage is also included as one of the homes fea-tured. The Gross mansion, located at 715 Central Ave.

was the home of Robert J Gross, President of Brooks Locomotive as well as Har-rell/US Radiator Corp. The yellow brick Georgian Revival dates back to 1907. It then became the Rec-tory for Cardinal Mind-szenty High School in 1952 until it’s closing in 1979. It served briefly as the Chris-topher Wellness Center and is presently the offices for the STEL Agency. The Eggers art exhibit is located here as well as mums being available for purchase.

The Rudge and Beck home, 60 W. Fourth St.

This was the first Gross house, built in the mid 1880’s in Queen Anne style. It was recently re-painted as a “painted lady” using 13 different colors. Harry Swoyer, manager of the Brooks/Alco Plant, lived there until his death in 1951; his widow until 1968.

Former Eggers Home, 438 Swan St.

This modest Victorian Cottage style home was built in the late 1800’s. The original owner was the father of George Wil-liam Eggers, a gifted artist whose art and lithographs will be on display at the Gross Mansion. The father, George A.H.Eggers was described in 1905 as “the leading artist photographer in Dunkirk.” A wonderful photo collection will be on display at the Swan St. home.

The Tuning Home at 706 Park Ave.

Built in 1912 in the Queen Anne Foursquare style, it retains the classical bits of that era. A Palladian win-dow in the gable end and pediment over the porch entrance are examples of such details. The original owner, Christian Schmidt, was the proprietor of a bar-bershop in the Erie Hotel at the Union Train Depot. The home is decorated in the Romantic Vintage style and features leaded glass and stained glass windows.

The Reed and Koch home at 529 Washington Ave.

Built in the 1880s, this

home is a variation on the Queen Anne Foursquare. Some interior features denote the beginning of the Arts and Crafts Movement including French doors and beamed ceilings. Members of the Reed family lived here from 1896-1914. Mary Koch, widow of Frederick and her sons then lived there. Son Fred C Koch was president of Fred Koch Brewery.

The Pucciarelli Home at 629 Central Ave.

Built around 1881, the property was owned by Louise Heyl and is an example of Second Empire style featuring a Man-sard roof. By 1887, it was owned/occupied by Louise B Arver. In the 1920’s, the Dunkirk Club occupied the building until its sale to a private owner in 1995.

Tickets are available at the Dunkirk Historical

Museum, 513 Washington Ave., which will be open during the tour and at the following locations: The Dunkirk Library, P&G Foods on Central Ave. Dunkirk, Midtown Realty 20 W. Main St. Fredonia, Time Pieces 23 White St Fredonia, Papaya Arts on the Boardwalk, Dunkirk

All proceeds from the tour benefit the Dunkirk His-torical Museum. For more information call 716-366-3797

Passed over in the NFL draft in April, quarterback Jeff Tuel settled on signing with the Buf-falo Bills a few days later with the sole objective of cracking the team's roster.

As of Monday, the raw rookie out of Washington State is in line to start in the Bills' season opener against New England Sept. 8.

''I came here to play football, and that's what I'm doing,'' Tuel said. ''It just explains, you can never expect. You never know what's going to happen in this league.

''It's why you've got to be ready.''

Tuel is in this position because of a string of injuries that have hit the Bills' quarterback position.

Veteran Kevin Kolb is out indefi -nitely after sustaining a concus-sion - the third of his seven-year career - in a 30-7 loss to Washington on Saturday. Then

there's rookie fi rst-round pick EJ Manuel, who might not be ready to play because he's still recover-ing from a left knee injury he hurt in a 20-16 win over Minnesota a week earlier.

The Bills did sign free agent Matt Leinart on Sunday, but the 2004 Heisman Trophy winner needs time to become familiar with the offense.

Should Tuel start against New England, he would be the f irst undrafted rookie directly out of college to start in Week 1 for any team since the NFL merger in 1970, according to STATS LLC.

This is not exactly what rookie coach Doug Marrone envisioned when he intended to have his starter in place within 10 days of the season.

''Well, I don't know if I'd use the word crazy,'' Marrone said. ''But I would say a little bit of adversity, for sure.''

Cassadaga Country Club’s Wednesday Women’s League held its annual Pink The Links Tournament to raise funds for Roswell Park and breast cancer research on Saturday. The event was a roaring success and even included a bit of history.

Nolan Swanson, teeing off with a 2-hybrid on No. 14, recorded his fi rst career hole-in-one on the par 4. The team heard the ball hit the pin from the tee box, but no one could have guessed that the ball would be waiting for Swanson in the bottom of the cup when he reached the top of the hill.

“Without exaggerating,” he said, “I never thought it was going to happen to me. My brother Ryan is a teaching pro. My brother Patrick lives in Fredonia and he’s had three hole-in-ones. I just trumped them with a hole-in-one on a par 4.

“I love playing golf,” Swanson continued. “I never thought It was going to happen because I’ve played for so long. My Grandpa Swanson and my dad started taking me down to Sunset Valley down by the Chautauqua Mall when I was eight years old. Close to 30 years I’ve been golfi ng. I’ve owned a course (Pinehurst Country Club in Westfi eld) for fi ve. I’ve never had one on my own course.”

The tournament had a number of different classes with all-men,

mixed and all-women teams. There were over 30 gifts that were donated to the Chinese auc-tion as well as a 50-50 drawing. Robert Basil Chevrolet sponsored a hole-in-one challenge on No. 8, but no one drove off with the new car as Swanson’s ace came on the wrong hole.

“For running my fi rst tourna-ment it turned out pretty well,” Tournament Chairman Melissa Kelly said. “It’s good to raise money for Roswell Park because it’s local as opposed to having that money go out to corporate.

“All the prizes that were donat-ed were great,” she continued. “Sue Gotowka was very instru-mental in getting the donations. Pat Kaus helped getting the hole sponsors. Special thanks also go out to Lori Danforth, Jodi Hoffman, Donna Frost and Nancy Phillips.”


The recent news that Buffalo Bills cornerback Stephon Gilmore is going to miss 6-8 weeks with a wrist injury is perhaps the most crippling injury suffered in the NFL this preseason.

Yes, there are guys that have been ruled out for the year al-ready, but no one who meant as much to his team as Gilmore.

A rookie last season, Gilmore was one of the few players who exceeded expectations in 2012. Even with the defensive line shooting blanks for most of the season, Gilmore routinely locked down the opposing team’s top wideout. He allowed Jarius Byrd to play his typical ball-hawking style. Now the Bills are going into the season with Leodis McKel-vin and Crezdon Butler as their starting cornerbacks.

That’s not good for people who are scoring at home.

Tuel Time In Buffalo?UNDRAFTED QB SLATED TO STARTBy Stefan Gestwicki

The Jamestown Jammers have continued to be red hot in the past week, winning four straight and eight of their last 10 games. Even with all that suc-cess, however, the team still looks up at the State Col-lege Spikes in the New York-Penn League Pinckney Division.

The Spikes have been borderline unbeatable at home in 2013 with a league-best (by a wide margin) 27-7 record in their own ballpark. At 42-24, the Spikes — an aff iliate of the St. Louis Cardinals — have

the best overall record in the league as well. The Jammers’ marks of 21-12 at home and 41-25 overall are both good for second in all of the NYPL.

Overall, the walleye fi shing has been slow this past week with the better, but modest catches to the west. Barcelo-na trollers have been work-ing hard for a few walleye in 75-110 feet of water, with stickbaits and worm har-nesses run between 65 feet down and the bottom. Most Dunkirk anglers are con-centrating efforts in 80-95 feet of water. Trollers have also picked up a few walleye in around 65 feet of water off Dunkirk. Cattaraugus Creek trollers have been heading out to the interna-tional line and working west at depths over 80 feet.

West of Dunkirk, walleye trollers also see the occasional steelhead, brown trout or lake trout catch. Run “cheater lines” for some supplemental steelhead action. A cheater line can be 6-8 feet of fl uo-rocarbon 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, approxi-mately half way down.

Yellow perch fi shing has been hit or miss this week. Anglers are marking a lot of fi sh be-tween Silver Creek and Stur-

geon Point, but they are tight lipped on some days. Out of Cattaraugus Creek good catches have been found at times in 55-75 feet of water. A couple favorable catch reports have also come off of Silver Creek in 55-65 feet of water. Emerald shiners are the top bait, but are likely not avail-able 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 young of year and too small to put a hook through, but the patient dip-per can fi nd some larger shin-ers mixed in. Smallmouth bass fi shing has been decent out of Buffalo around reef areas such as Seneca Shoal and Myers Reef. Drop-shot rigs combined with crayfi sh, minnows, tube jigs or other plastic baits works well. For more information see the Smallmouth Bass Fishing on Lake Erie page.

The best time of year to target lake trout on Lake Erie is now! Spoons trolled near the bottom at depths over 80 feet is often very productive. Last week, a DEC survey showed a strong concentration of lake trout outside Brocton Shoal in 80-115 feet of water, especially between 90-95 feet of water.

Upper Niagara RiverAt mid-week, thick schools of white bass started provid-ing some awesome 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 anglers also report decent yellow 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 Niagara 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. Boat-ers 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 LakeWeed edges are a good place to catch a variety of warm-water species. Largemouth bass and sunfi sh are common along weed edges and open pockets in the weeds. Mus-kellunge fi shing along weed edges improved this week. Trolling tight to weed edges with large stickbaits or buck-tail trolling spinners is a good bet. Walleye trollers were catching a few walleye in the

north basin in 20-25 feet of water. White perch catches are widespread on worms fi shed near the bottom.

Inland Trout StreamsThe area trout streams are in good shape with moderate fl ows and cooler tempera-tures. Tricos are still hatching at fi rst light, but is usually over by 9 AM. Trico emerg-ers and spinners work well at that time. Stimulator patterns and terrestrials (ants, beetles, grasshoppers, crickets) will also draw trout to the surface. Productive offerings for spin-ning 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 spin-ners 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.

If you need more fi shing information or would like to contribute to the fi shing report, please call or e-mail Mike Todd (716-851-7010; [email protected]) or Jim Markham (716-366-0228; [email protected]). Good Luck Fishing!

It’s just a crushing blow that has left Bills fans screaming that the pre-season is too long. Of course, running back C.J. Spiller also appeared to injure his knee (apparently he’s fi ne) while scoring a touchdown in the same game, so you can under-stand their angst.

Another injury to hit a Bills starter is more serious and potentially career threaten-ing. Quarterback Kevin Kolb was kneed in the back of the head while scram-bling and suffered another concussion. Kolb, you may remember, suffered a concussion while with the Philadelphia Eagles that opened the door for Michael Vick to make his triumphant return to the NFL. Multiple concussions are not something that you want on your record. First off, it’s incredibly danger-ous to a player’s future after the game. But also, a team is far less likely to sign a

guy with a history of con-cussions. A guy like Kolb just isn’t worth the risk.

Fans who are calling for a shorter preseason just don’t get it. Injuries are part of the game. You simply can’t simulate live action in prac-tice. Yes, guys like Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady are probably fi ne playing just a handful of series in the preseason games. But a guy like undrafted rookie quarterback Jeff Tuel (who is slated to be the Bills starter for Week 1 against the New England Patriots) could re-ally use that playing time.

Not only that, but pre-season is all about roster battles. Coaches need to see which backup wide re-ceivers can play on special teams. Or which backup linebacker would best be suited to play in the event of an untimely injury. The players are auditioning for 31 other teams should they get cut, too. It’s not just for the players either. Coaches

need to get accustomed to calling plays in real time. Defensive coordinators need to be able to read an offense and adjust.

So yes, you’re going to see a lot of injuries over the course of the preseason that will make you wish that coaches didn’t play certain players, but the preseason is a necessary evil.

All of this said, what Rex Ryan did in the New York Jets latest debacle was an absolute joke. He played rookie quarterback Geno Smith for the fi rst three quarters against the New

York Giants. Smith strug-gled badly, throwing four interceptions and stepping out of the back of the end zone for a safety. You can justify it any way you want, but so far Smith doesn’t look like he belongs in the NFL.

What Ryan did next was beyond comprehension. He inserted incumbent starter Mark Sanchez into the game in the fourth quarter of a preseason game. Sanchez is terrible, yes, but he’s played in the league for a number of years and everyone knows what he’s capable of. There was no reason at all for him

to be in that game.

The result: Sanchez was scrambling for his life against guys who were looking to make an impact in their chase for a roster spot. He actually made a pretty nice play rolling out of the pocket but was drilled as he released the ball. At fi rst glance, I certainly thought it could be as severe as a broken collar-bone. He left the fi eld with his shoulder wrapped tightly. To compound matters, Ryan was indignant to reporters following the game. Has there been any evidence that this guy is actually a good coach and not just a media sound byte?

The point is that no injury is a good thing, but they happen. They happen in the regular season too. The Miami Dolphins lost Dustin Keller, the Ravens lost Ed Dickson and the Chiefs lost Tony Moeaki, so the tight end position has taken its lumps for a number of teams. Arian

Foster and Maurice Jones-Drew have both sat out most of preseason because they’re nursing injuries. The Packers lost starting left tackle Bryan Bulaga for the season. That’s the one that might have the most immediate impact next to the Gilmore injury.

Mark this down: Every single week of the regular season we’ll see a very valu-able player go down for a signifi cant length of time. Every team is going to deal with injuries and there’s little anyone can do to avoid them. So rather than com-plain about your team being banged up, just hope that the next guy on the depth chart can step up and do his job.

Injuries have always existed in football and they always will. Deal with it.

Jamestown Soccer To Hold “Friday Night Lights”

The four game winning streak began Saturday against Williamsport after the Jammers had dropped two straight. And down 1-0 and getting no hit headed into the bottom of the eighth inning, the streak was in peril of climbing to three games. Julio Reyes threw six no-hit innings for William-sport, allowing just one walk.

Edwin Espinal fi nally got the Jammers into the hit column with two outs in the eighth with an infi eld single that pitcher Mark Meadors threw away. A walk to Erich Weiss set up Adam Landecker’s two-run single that got Jamestown on the board and the lead. Candon Myles followed with another single, but Landecker was thrown out trying to score on the play.

Brett McKinney recorded the fi nal three outs for his

ninth save of the season.

The Jammers again found themselves down 1-0 late in the game against William-sport on Sunday. Entering the bottom of the seventh, the Jammers were quickly running out of chances before the home team was able to put up a four-spot on the scoreboard thanks in part to Elvis Escobar’s fi rst home run of the season – a two-run blast with two outs.

Chad Kuel pitched the fi rst fi ve innings very effectively but didn’t factor in the decision as he went fi ve in-nings and allowed just one fi rst-inning run. He struck out three, allowed fi ve hits and didn’t issue a free pass. Roberto Espinosa earned the win with a scoreless inning of relief and McK-inney slammed the door for his 10th save.

A lingering storm on Mon-

day left the fi eld in unplayable condition, forcing the Jam-mers’ scheduled game against Mahoning Valley back to a Tuesday doubleheader.

The twinbill was all Jame-stown as the Jammers won the fi rst game 8-0 before taking the nightcap with a 1-0 nailbiter.

In the fi rst game, the Jam-mers plated three runs in the third and four in the fourth and the game was all but over before fans even found their seats. They pounded out 13 hits, led by Escobar’s three knocks. Harold Ramirez, Adam Frazier, Wyatt Ma-thisen, Edwin Espinal and Dannny Collins each had a pair of hits in the rout.

Isaac Sanchez drew the start for Jamestown, but it was basically a three-man job as Sanchez went three innings and Justin Topa and Oder-

man Rocha each tossed two shutout frames. Topa (5-2, 1.78) earned the win.

The second game featured only seven combined hits for both teams, but Jamestown pushed across a run in the second inning and the pitchers made it hold up.

It was again a combined ef-fort by the Jamestown pitch-ing staff as Buddy Borden got the start and threw four shutout innings with seven strikeouts before Andy Ota-mendi and Henry Hirsch fi nished off the shutout.

The Jammers have just three home contests remaining in the regular season. A three-game series against State College on Monday, Sept. 2 through Wednesday could very well decide the Pinckney Divi-sion. Monday’s game is at 4:05 p.m. while Tuesday and Wednesday’s contests

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 handi-cap to enjoy the game.

My brother-in-law Scott has been playing golf his whole life. He’s never seen a hole-in-one. Forestville golf coach Jack Dugan has been playing golf his whole life and coached some very good players, but until he sank one a few weeks ago, he had never seen a hole-in-one.

I’ve now seen two in the matter of three weeks after I witnessed Nolan Swanson ace No. 5 at Cassadaga Country Club during the Pink The Links Tourna-ment on Saturday. The unusual thing about No. 5 is that it’s a PAR FOUR. Yes, Swanson (coincidently the owner of Pinehurst Golf Club in Westfi eld) used a 2-hybrid and aced the short, but uphill par four. It was the fi rst ace of Swanson’s long golf career.

My group was teeing off on the par 3 No. 6 right behind No. 5’s green when we heard a ball strike the pin. We turned, but didn’t see a ball on the green. We assumed it had ricocheted into the rough, but when Swanson made the climb and found his ball in the cup, the celebration was on. He ran around scream-ing, laid on the ground and

hugged anyone within reach. But you know what? He more than earned it with an amaz-ing feat. Congrats again to Nolan.

As for my play in the tournament…I wish I didn’t have to write about it. The front nine was arguably the worst I’ve played all year. I had played a practice round on Friday and really thought that I was in for a good day on Saturday, but I was horribly wrong. On the plus side, I had a great group to spend the morning with as Star Media Group salesman Jason Ferguson joined myself and two of my oldest friends in the world Josh Torrance and Matt Meyer. The latter two and myself made some-thing of a Northern Chau-tauqua Catholic School Class of 2000 reunion.

The tournament raised money for Roswell Park and breast cancer research, so no matter how poorly I played it was great to be part of the event. Cassadaga Country Club did a wonderful job as always. Robert Basil

Chevrolet was a hole-in-one sponsor and anyone who sunk an ace on No. 8 would ride home in a new car. Naturally, my group started on No. 8 so we were far from warmed up when our shot at the car came. That said, my best tee shot of the day prob-ably came on the hole as I landed on the back of the green. No one won the car, if you were wondering.

We got off to a nice start on No. 9 and were just inches off the green with a very good look at eagle. Well four terrible chips and four missed putts later we were left with a tap in for par. That was basi-cally the story of our day. All four of us are adequate golf-ers, but with the exception of Josh’s drives off the tee (which were wondrous to behold), no one played like it.

I was defi nitely the worst culprit. I struggle with my drives from time to time, but Josh was wailing the ball, so I wasn’t worried about my drives being askew. What re-ally irritated me was my lack of touch on my chip shots.

The greens were fi rm and fast and it was not easy going getting your ball to stop on the green, but I’ve played CCC a lot and know where to put the ball. Not only were my shots rolling off the green, but I duffed my fair share, too. Maybe I was in a hurry to see where they landed because I really felt like we had a shot to win the tournament, but I was rear-ing up and taking chucks out, coming up insanely short or just straight toeing the ball. It was ugly.

After a pedestrian two-under on the front nine, I really started to play better in the back and we put up a fi ve-under, but it was too little, too late as the winning team was an impressive 15-under par. That was Swanson’s team.

Again, as unimpressive as my performance was, it was so nice to be out play-ing in a tournament for a good cause. And as I’ve written before, never be nervous about playing in a tournament. I was nervous for a tournament early in the year, but an older golfer told me “The thing about golf is everyone stinks.” That really rings true. It’s a very hard game, but if you’re not having fun, you shouldn’t be out there.

I’m sure there are still plenty of charity tournaments to come in September and may-be even October. Contact your local courses and play some golf for a good cause.

Fredonia State graduate Carl Caughell has accepted a graduate assistantship in track and fi eld at the University of Mary in Bis-marck, N.D.

Caughell will coach the high jump for the NCAA Division II Marauders, and will work toward his graduate degree in Educa-tion with a concentration

in Learning Disabilities.

Before graduating from Fredonia State last May, Caughell excelled in the high hurdles. His 60-meter indoor time of 8.32 seconds is the third fastest in pro-gram history. His 110-me-ter outdoor time -- 14.81 -- is fi fth fastest.

He fi nished second in the outdoor event at the 2013 SUNYAC outdoor cham-pionships at SUNY Cort-land, and was named Sec-ond Team All-SUNYAC.

Former Fredonia State catcher Brian Sheehan (Orchard Park) recently signed a contract to play professional baseball for the Florence Freedom of the in-dependent Frontier League. The Freedom added Shee-han for their playoff push.

Sheehan made his profes-sional debut Wednesday night in a 5-4 victory over the Windy City Thunder-bolts as the team's starting catcher. He recorded a sac-rifi ce bunt and lineout in his two plate appearances.

Sheehan, who graduated in May, was named all confer-ence and led the SUNYAC in on-base percentage (.482). He was among the league leaders in hits, walks and hit-by pitches, and caught nearly every game for the Devils.

"As the only catcher on our roster last season, we asked a lot of Brian, and he was the key to our success," said Fredonia State head coach Matt Palisin. "Brian was asked to catch three games every weekend, as well as a number of doubleheaders. He was our most consistent hitter all season and was constantly on base despite the rigors of catching."

Sheehan follows in the footsteps of Rob Herrmann (Trumansburg), the Devils' catcher prior to Sheehan. Herrmann played profes-sionally in Australia and the United States, and is cur-rently playing in Germany.

"Brian came in as a fresh-man as Rob's backup," said Palisin "Brian had the smooth swing and great arm and did a great job for us in his four seasons."

Sheehan received a congrat-ulations from Herrmann.

"Rob told me it's still base-ball and not anything more," said Sheehan. "Don't be shy and work to improve."

Sheehan has quickly taken to the experience. "It's different baseball. Here it's baseball eight hours a day. I'm really enjoying it."

Sheehan was signed by Fran Riordan, a Canisius High School grad (1993), and the winningest manager in the Frontier League's history.

"It's great to see both of those guys pursuing their goals," said Palisin. "Rob was the type of player that always showed the younger guys how it's done, and has set a great example for Brian."This summer, Herrmann was selected to play in the Bundes-liga All Star Game represent-ing the Paderborn Untouch-ables. The Untouchables open the post season this weekend with a fi ve-game set against Heidenheim.

Herrmann also participated in the European Cup Tour-nament in Barcelona, Spain, where the team played in the Olympic Stadium.

"All of the teams in the bracket are the best in Eu-rope," said Herrmann "Two from every top country make it in, so we were fortu-nate enough to play the two best teams in all of Europe."

He also played for the EU International Stars for a tournament in the Czech Republic called Prague Baseball Week. "The tour-nament was amazing and our team of misfi t Ameri-can import players won it all in the end. We beat both the German and the Czech WBC teams to win the championship."

Herrmann was a four-time All SUNYAC selection for the Devils and among ca-reer leaders in nearly every offensive category.

And that wasn't the only unsettling news to greet the Bills, who returned to prac-tice in preparing for their preseason fi nale against Detroit Thursday.

Top cornerback Stephon Gilmore will miss between six and eight weeks after breaking his left wrist against Washington. It's an injury that further depletes a cornerback position that already lacks experienced depth behind Leodis McKelvin.

Running back C.J. Spiller has been excused to be with his family near Jack-sonville, Fla., where his step-grandfather Hubert Allen Jr. allegedly killed two people and shot two others before killing him-self on Saturday. Marrone said the team has been in contact with Spiller, but there's no timetable as to when he'll return.

Chris Hairston, who was supposed to compete for the starting right tackle job, was placed on the season-ending reserve/non-football illness list. Hairston has not prac-ticed after opening training camp on the physically-unable-to-perform list.

And two-time Pro Bowl safety Jairus Byrd didn't

sound entirely thrilled to be back in Buffalo after prac-ticing with the team for the fi rst time since signing his one-year, $6.9 million fran-chise tender last week.

Byrd said he didn't want to be a distraction, but acknowledged being ''dis-appointed'' when Buffalo applied the franchise tag in March to prevent him from testing free agency.

Byrd declined to say whether he's asked to be traded. He wouldn't directly answer a question regarding his chances of playing in Buffalo next season. Byrd only noted that the Bills have the option to place the franchise tag on him again next year.

The two sides failed to negotiate a long-term deal before a July 15 deadline. That left Byrd the option of accepting the tender or los-ing pay once he began miss-ing regular season games.

Byrd's not sure how ready he'll be to open the season after having missed the entire offseason of practice

''Only time will tell,'' he said.

The problem is the Bills are quickly running out of time, and healthy bodies.

At the least, Buffalo has some reinforcements at quarterback, with Leinart and Thaddeus Lewis each making their practice debuts. Lewis was acquired Sunday in a trade that sent linebacker

Chris White to Detroit.

Tuel, 22, found it strange providing offensive tips to a 30-year-old Leinart, a 2006 fi rst-round pick.

''It was odd,'' Tuel said. ''The last time I saw Matt, I was watching him in the Rose Bowl in the national championship play Texas, and I was in the stands. I was like in eighth grade.''

The injuries to Manuel and Kolb have at least provided Tuel additional practice and playing time than most third-stringers usually get. In three preseason games, he's combined for 31 of 43 for 299 yards passing, two touchdowns and no inter-ceptions.

Leinart is happy to get one more chance to prove himself after spending the entire offseason looking for a job. After spending his fi rst four seasons in Ari-zona, he's on his third team in as many years.

''I'm just excited just to be here obviously and humbled and just thankful for the opportunity,'' said Leinart, who is expected to play Thursday. ''Obviously, I know nothing is guaran-teed ever. But I'm excited to be playing football.

''I was getting bored.''

2) Atlanta Braves 79-52 It’s hard to argue with the most wins in the Majors, but injuries are a concern.

3) Boston Red Sox 78-55 Shane Victorino just put up 7 RBI in a rout against Baltimore. Sox have 2.5 lead in East.

4) St. Louis Cardinals 78-54 It’s impossible to pick against the Cards in the Central after that series win against Cincy.

5) Detroit Tigers 77-55 Justin Verlander looks human this season. No worries, he’s still got gas in the tank for a run.

6) Texas Rangers 77-55 No team in baseball has as many road wins as Texas. That’ll be huge if it makes the playoffs.

7) Oakland Athletics 74-57 A series win against the Tigers proved to fans and the team that they’re not going away.

8) Tampa Bay Rays 74-56 A three-game skid has knocked them out of fi rst, but no one expects them to fall too far.

9) Pittsburgh Pirates 76-55 Sinking ship? Landing Marlon Byrd and John Buck just seems like a desperation move.

10) Cincinnati Reds 74-59 The Reds have now won three of their last 30 series in St. Louis since 2003. That ain’t good.

11) Cleveland Indians 71-60 Terry Francona would absolutely be my pick for Manager of the Year if I had a vote.

12) New York Yankees 70-62 Alfonso Soriano has been laughably hot since joining the team. A nice A-Rod distraction.

13) Baltimore Orioles 70-60 This .500 baseball trend they’re on isn’t going to catch the Rays or the Red Sox in the East.

14) Arizona Diamondbacks 68-63 Five games behind in the wild card. That can be made up in the blink of an eye.

15) Kansas City Royals 67-64 A three-game winning streak has the arrow pointing up, but is it too late for the Royals?

16) Washington Nationals 66-65 Hey! They’re over .500 again. Oh wait, they were shooting for a World Series title.

17) Colorado Rockies 62-72 Remem-ber when this season started off with such promise? That sure unraveled quickly.

18) Philadelphia Phillies 60-72 How cool was it to see Roy Halladay back on the mound and winning? Class act that guy.

19) New York Mets 59-71 The Mets got a potential steal by getting 2B Dilson Her-rera from the Pirates via trade.

20) Los Angeles Angels 59-71 The Dodgers’ resurgence has to only make this season more painful for Angels fans.

21) Seattle Mariners 59-72 A fi ve-game losing streak basically erases any hope of a .500 season in Seattle.

22) Toronto Blue Jays 59-74 Who is the biggest disappointment? The Blue Jays or the Angels? That’s a tough call.

23) San Francisco Giants 59-73 Tim Lincecum will defi nitely be the most interesting free agent in recent memory.

24) San Diego Padres 59-73 The battle for last place with the Giants and Rock-ies is going to be a nail biter to the end.

25) Milwaukee Brewers 58-73 The Brew Crew really enjoys being a spoiler. They’ve beat some tops teams recently.

26) Chicago Cubs 56-76 Try to remain calm as you watch Alfonso Soriano go ape-crazy in New York, Cubs fans.

27) Minnesota Twins 57-73 This is the one terrible team with a bright future. There are studs in the Minor Leagues.

28) Chicago White Sox 55-76 Quietly, the Pale Sox have won eight of their last 10 games. Okay, nobody cares.

29) Miami Marlins 49-81 Their elimination number is down to three. So much for those title aspirations in Miami.

30) Houston Astros 44-87 There’s nothing more I can say. I’ve ragged on the Astros all year. It’s getting old.

FINAL PREPARATIONS FOR THE BILLS CONTINUED FROM PG 1

By Larry LageAP Hockey Writer

The U.S. hockey team has fl ipped the script since the last Winter Olympics.

The Americans expect to be a favorite to win gold in six months at the Sochi Games after saying they were un-derdogs in 2010, when they won silver and were a goal away from knocking off the host Canadians.

''The only people that thought we had a chance were probably the guys in the locker room, or our coaches and management of USA Hockey,'' Chicago Blackhawks star forward Patrick Kane said Monday. ''This time, it's different.''

USA Hockey invited 48 of its top prospects - including 16 players from its 2010 team - for off-ice workouts and meetings at the Washington Capitals' training facility.

''Even though we invited 48 guys, I got calls from a few agents, 'Why not my guy?' I get that,'' said general man-ager David Poile, whose day job is running the Nashville Predators. ''We put some guys on the board that aren't at this camp that we should be looking at. We're totally open-minded.

''We have to take the 25 guys that give us the best chance to win.''

The players will get picked to play based on their body of work and how well they perform early in the NHL

season. The fi nal roster is expected to be announced on Jan. 1 after Detroit and Toronto play in the Winter Classic at Michigan Stadium.

Brian Burke, the team's general manager in 2010, set up an advisory group to assemble the roster. Poile plans to follow the model over the next four months.

NHL general manag-ers Stan Bowman, Dean Lombardi, Dale Tallon and Paul Holmgren along with scout Don Waddell will assist Poile, Ray Shero, the team's associate GM, Burke, the team's director of player personnel and USA Hockey executive Jim Johannson.

''We'll have much harder decisions to make, pick-ing this team than we had 2010,'' Burke said. ''That's what you want.''

The advisory group met for fi ve hours on Sunday, spending some of that time on talking about a possible roster and some tough deci-sions it will have to make.

''We have 16 returning Olympians that have a chance to make the team,'' Poile said. ''We've got way

more depth, and way more quality than we had in 2010.''

Six goaltenders were invited to the camp, and three will make the trip to Sochi.

Buffalo Sabres goalie Ryan Miller was named MVP of the ice hockey tournament at the Vancouver Games, but he's not a lock to keep his job because Los An-geles Kings star Jonathan Quick has been perhaps the world's best at stopping shots the past two seasons. NHL goalies Jimmy How-ard, Cory Schneider, Craig Anderson, along with 20-year-old prospect Josh Gibson, also are in the mix.

Miller, despite his perfor-mance in 2010, was not named to the team's leader-ship group that includes de-fenseman Ryan Suter and forwards David Backes, Dustin Brown, Ryan Cal-lahan and Zach Parise.

While it would be a big sur-prise if any of those leaders didn't end up representing the U.S. in Russia, they don't have any guarantees.

''Nobody has been given a position,'' Poile insisted.

Twenty-four forwards and 18

defensemen are attending the pre-Olympic camp, some of whom, such as 18-year-old Seth Jones, are there simply to experience what it is like to be around the country's best hockey players.

Pittsburgh Penguins coach Dan Bylsma, who succeeds Ron Wilson, said his job is to pass along some information and messages to the players over the course of a few days to get them ready for a quick turnaround at the Sochi Games. The NHL has some games scheduled on Feb. 8, and the Americans - along with the other players in the league from other countries - won't have much time to prepare for their fi rst game.

''We won't see these guys for another six months,'' Bylsma said. ''That's not comfortable for a coach.''

Bylsma, though, seems at ease with Team USA publicly liking its chances to win gold for the fi rst time since the Miracle on Ice victory over the Soviet Union in 1980.

''It's a different expectation and different mindset,'' he said. ''Four years ago, we were under the radar and it certainly was a younger team and didn't have those expectations. This is a team that largely was in Vancou-ver and was in the gold-med-al game and was a shot away from winning a gold medal.

''Now, the expectation is much different. We're go-ing over to Sochi, Russia, with the mindset of win-ning a gold medal.''

Contributing ArticleAssociated Press

Undrafted rookie receiver Da'Rick Rogers was one of fi ve players released by the Buffalo Bills on Mon-day. And injured offensive tackle Chris Hairston's sea-son is over before it began.

The Bills also released defensive backs Dominique Ellis and Jumal Rolle, re-ceiver DeMarco Sampson,

and center Ryan Turnley. The moves were made a day before NFL teams are required to trim their rosters to 75 players.

Rogers failed to make an impact in Buffalo in a bid to make a fresh start following a troubled college career. As a sophomore in 2011, Rog-ers led Tennessee with 67 catches for 1,040 yards and nine touchdowns.

He was forced to transfer to

Tennessee Tech last sum-mer after the Volunteers suspended him indefi nitely for violating team rules. Rogers said the suspension was the result of him failing multiple drug tests.

In Buffalo, Rogers had dif-fi culty earning playing time among a young, talented group of receivers, which includes rookie second-round pick, Robert Woods, and rookie third-round pick Marquise Goodwin.

Hairston, who was ex-pected to compete for a starting job at right tackle, was placed on the season-ending reserve/non-football illness list. He's been bothered by a nagging back injury and hasn't practice after open-ing training camp on the active/physically-unable-to-perform list.

The Bills also reached an in-jury settlement and released guard Keith Williams.
