GROVE CITY, PA — Many of us have a few boxes stored in the attic or basement that contain some old family keepskes. Over time, these boxes can be forgotten or just get lost in the mix. When they’re found again, it’s often like hitting an historic jackpot. For Grove City College archivist Hilary Walczak, the jackpot became a gold mine when she happened upon a discovery that had been forgotten for over half a century.Walczak (nee Lewis), a 2005 graduate of Dunkirk High School, went to Grove City College and graduated from there in 2009. Furthering herself afterward with a master’s degree in Public History and a concentration in Archives, she’s now living

her dream as an archivist at her alma mater.“I was asked to start inven-torying all the valuables on campus, so I went to

our rare book room,” said Walczak. “We have a lot of diff erent collections in there, but no one has really touched them for 60 years.”

Her duties led her to an area of locked cabinets, and after getting a box of as-sorted keys, she unearthed a

piece of history. Or, 175 pieces, to be specific.“I tried each key until I found one that actually worked, so I opened it up and there were drawers inside,” said Walczak. “I pulled out the drawer, and it was just a bunch of folded up pieces of paper. I didn’t think much of it until I saw in the corner someone had penciled in ‘1941’ and ‘1942.’ I got really excited at that point. I opened it up, and it was a World War II propaganda poster.”Walczak’s experience and education prepared her for a moment like this. She ran to the archive room, grabbed the proper equipment, and began to load up the posters. Unfolding them one after another, she discovered a total of 175 posters, all in “pris-tine condition – with colors as vibrant s the day they were printed. A lot of them had never been opened, and none have pin or tape marks – it looks like they were never even hung up.”Her excitement quickly spread throughout the

campus and communi-ty, and soon an exhibit had been scheduled for the posters to go on display. In total, the 175 pieces are valued at around $40,000.“We had 100 people come to the opening of the exhibit, and had 100 visitors the first day,” she said. As lo-cal and regional news agencies have picked up on the story, Walczak expects the week-long exhibit to garner a lot of attention. “We’ve been hearing people come in who collect or know about the posters from that time,” said Walczak. “We have some of the iconic ones but we also found a lot of rare ones. Some have said ‘I’ve never seen this one before,’ and that’s really great to know.”The find lines up with some recent research Walczak has been do-ing on the role of Grove City College in World War II. The private Christian college in northwestern Penn-sylvania offered three training programs to young men at the time.

“We had the Navy and Marine engineering programs, an Army Air Corps preflight training program, and a secret radar program,” said Walczak. During the Second World War, ra-dar was still being kept a secret. Grove City College was one of only six colleges in the na-tion to take part in the training program, then referred to as ‘radio’ in order to keep it classi-fied. “We had around 4,000 individuals come during the war for training, which played a big part in saving the college because most of the other men had gone off to the war,” she said. As for the propaganda posters, they point to a time of increased ferver and national pride, but also a time of intense

emotion. Walczak’s favorite featured three young children, about to be shadowed by the notable Nazi swastika. “It’s really symbolic,” said Walczak, “be-cause it’s saying ‘buy war bonds – so the war doesn’t come to America.”The exhibit is on display at Grove City College for just a few more days, but plans are being discussed for a potential traveling exhibit or other options in the future. For more information, or to see photos of the posters, visit gcc.edu, and gcc.edu/warposters.

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

Twenty-four individuals representing businesses and organizations from throughout the county gathered in a classroom in Bellinger Hall, Chautauqua Institution recently to begin a two-and-a-half day retreat designed to recognize and further develop each person’s leadership skills and build new relationships with other community leaders.Class members, most of whom have been nominated by their employer to partici-pate in the nine-month program, arrive at the retreat mostly unknown to each other, with little information about the retreat’s activities. Through a series of ice breakers and inter-views, members learn more about each other and begin a discussion of diff erent leadership styles and how and when those styles can be most eff ective. Led by facilitator Larry Robinson of Partners & Robinson, with the assistance of several Chautauqua Leader-ship Network alumni, the retreat follows a rigorous schedule of self-assessment, conver-sation and group pre-sentations intertwined with experiential ac-tivities all developed to

help participants better understand themselves, those around them and the larger community. After the retreat, class participants will con-tinue to meet monthly, participating in sessions designed to help them further develop their leadership skills and connect them to the Chautauqua County community. Now in its 23rd year,

CLN is a not-for-profi t organization designed to identify, recruit, train and network area professionals. To date, more than 500 county residents have partici-pated in the program, which was founded to develop eff ective community leaders to address the challenges and opportunities facing Chautauqua County.

strawberryshortcake trifle

By Katy WiseContributing Writer

In case you haven’t noticed, we are big fans of the ‘trifle’ around here. This is possibly the fifth trifle recipe that I will be sharing with you.Why? Because trifles are so incred-ibly easy. Everything about them is easy, especially if you have a stand mixer.Not to mention all the different pos-sibilities out there. For almost any regular cake recipe, pastry or des-sert, there’s a trifle for that.So with Easter steadily approach-ing, (yay!) it’s time to start rounding up some recipes that are suitable for Spring.Recently, I tried out this recipe for one of my husband’s coworkers who was having a birthday. We picked this recipe because generally speak-ing, the odds are pretty good that people like strawberry shortcake.I’m sure there are some exceptions to this, as there are with any kind of food, but I have to say that I feel very sad for the people who do not enjoy this flavor combination. Now before I share the recipe, here are some things to bear in mind. First of all, as previously mentioned, trifles are versatile. Don’t get hung up on the idea of a trifle with yellow cake, just because that’s what I used. No, yellow cake isn’t all that exciting, but when it’s paired with strawberries, pudding and whipped cream…everything changes.

But you could also use angel food cake, pound cake, white cake, etc. And if you are very pressed for time, you can always cut corners and use a store bought cake.Just another way the trifle saves the day!Ingredients:1 Yellow cake1 recipe whipped cream2 large boxes vanilla pudding1 can strawberry pie filling, or 3-4 cups chopped strawberries

First step, make your cake! You will need at least half of a 9x13 cake in order to fill a trifle bowl. The easiest way I’ve found to do this is to make the cake a day before I will be pre-paring the trifle.Next step, make pudding and transfer to another container. If you are using the family sized boxes of pudding, you will only need 2 cups of milk per box as opposed to the 3 that the directions on the box call for. This will make your pudding a little thicker, similar to custard. As al-ways, feel free to follow the package directions if you would prefer. This just means that your pudding will soak into the cake a little more, and you may have some extra pudding on your hands. Nothing wrong with that!Prepare your whipped cream and get ready to layer your trifle. Before you start, you may want to think about how much you have of each ingredient. I usually layer pudding

on the bottom, then cake, whipped cream, strawberries, pudding, cake, whipped cream, and some more strawberries on them top. Once again, be as creative as you want to be. I just suggest thinking ahead so you don’t use up all your strawberries on the bottom.

Refrigerate until serving, will yield between 10-12 generous servings, and even more if this isn’t your only dessert!As always, thanks for reading, and happy trifling!

Jamestown High School is proud to announce it 2015 Musical, Bye, Bye Birdie. The musical will be pre-sented March 19 and 20 at 7 p.m. and March 21 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. in the JHS Merton P. Corwin Audito-rium. Tickets are $8 and are available at Greater Chau-tauqua Federal Credit Union locations: 51 E. Main St., Falconer, 111 W Second St., Jamestown, 57 Lake Shore Drive W., Dunkirk, and 41 South Erie Street, Mayville. Michele Constantino directs the JHS production with Or-chestra Conductor, Meghan Bolling-Murray, Vocal Director, Lauren Scharf, and Choreographer, Jaclyn Haskell.“We are so excited to be back at Jamestown High School performing the school musical. It’s been 23 years and now we are back! We have a great cast, awe-some staff and the show is amazing,” said Mrs. Con-stantino.Bye, Bye Birdie, book by Michael Stewart and music by Charles Strouse, and lyr-ics by Lee Adams, is about an Elvis Presley-inspired rock star, who is drafted into the army and who creates a near-riot in a small Mid-

western town when he stops there for one last publicity junket -- takes good-natured swipes at popular culture, rock n’ roll, and Ameri-can family life. Bye Bye Birdie was not only a famous Broadway musical, but also a successful movie.The JHS cast includes: Cameron Hurst as Albert (Dick Van Dyke role), Sonia Angeli as Rosie (Chita Ri-vera on Broadway and Janet Leigh in the movie), Emily Nelson as Kim (Ann Marga-ret in movie), Jacob Dietzel as Hugo (Bobby Rydell in Movie), Skylar Gore as Harry MacAfee (Paul Lynde in the Movie), Sydney Dep-pas as Mrs. MacAfee, Nata-lie Shafer as Mae Peterson (Albert’s Mother), Camron Curtis and Max Bolling sharing the role of Randolph (Kim’s little brother) and Lo-renzo Rodriguez as Conrad Birdie.The JHS Musical’s tradition of giving back to its com-munity through a preshow collection continues this year with the Brown Family. The family is known throughout the community for their involvement in all things “kids.” Sixteen years ago Doug Brown was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and confined to a wheelchair. Last year, his wife, Alda, was diagnosed with breast can-cer. She became an advocate

and voice for others afflicted with the disease. The Brown children (Bradley and Mia) attend Jamestown Schools and are smart, strong, very talented, and role models amongst their peers. The financial strain on the family is overwhelming and the JHS Musical cast is pleased to do their part to help.“Besides the fact that we all love music (and we all do), we get the chance to give back to the community,” said JHS junior and cast member, Cameron Hurst.

“This year we want to help the Bradley Brown fam-ily. He’s a great kid and the whole family is wonderful. Brad’s dad is unable to work because he is confined to a wheelchair with MS and his mom was just diagnosed with breast cancer. We are encouraging everyone to contribute. We want the audience to really help us help them.”The production holds a special St. Patrick’s Day Gala at the Crystal Ball-room on March 14th with

special guest performers Brett Fallon, Lauren Scharf and Conrad Birdie and Company. The group also performed at the $10,000 giveaway by Shults at the Mall, visited Lutheran Social Services, and recently toured area elementary schools.

Senator Catharine Young (R,C,I-Olean) is encouraging local students to take part in the New York State Senate’s 2015 Earth Day Poster Contest, a statewide competition to encourage awareness of environmental issues. To celebrate and honor Earth Day, which occurs on Wednesday, April 22, Senator Young and the New York State Senate are sponsoring a poster contest for children in grades K – 6. The theme for this year’s Earth Day celebration is “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.” The winning poster will be displayed on the Senator’s website and all par-ticipants will receive a certificate of appreciation. Schools wishing to take part in this year’s event must submit entries by April 6, via the link on Senator Young’s website, young.nysenate.gov. “Our communities are blessed with some of the state’s most beautiful natural environments,” said Senator Young. “Preservation of these resources, such as our lakes, rivers, forest and state parks for future generations would not be possible without

events like Earth Day raising public awareness. ‘Reduce, Reuse, Recycle’ is not just a slogan for one day, it is a way of life we should all strive for every day.” “Each year my office receives entries that display tremendous originality and vision, as well as an obvious understanding of the important environ-mental impact we have on our communities and our state. I look forward to seeing the students’ visions and encourage them to continue to study and learn more about the challenges facing our environment,” said Senator Young. Senator Young and her colleagues in the Senate are using this opportunity to celebrate the great strides New York has made in helping to improve the environment. From expanding the bottle bill to promoting green energy, New York is helping to make a difference. Through their artwork, stu-dents are encouraged to be creative and convey a real commitment they are making to improve the environment. Since the first Earth Day was celebrated 45 years ago, over 20 million Americans have partici-pated, helping to improve the quality of the air

we breathe and the water we drink. In addition, landmark legislation has been passed to help sup-port this effort, including the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, and the Endangered Species Act.

National Comedy Center offi cials and the City of Jamestown have agreed to terms on the purchase of a city-owned build-ing and adjacent land at the intersection of Washington Street and West 2nd Street. The acquired property will be used for the pur-pose of developing and operating the National Comedy Center.“The City of James-town has for years been a supporter of and has seen tremendous value in the National Come-dy Center Project,” said Jamestown Mayor Sam Teresi. “In addition to all of the other avenues through which we have been assisting with the development of this world class attraction, we are very pleased to be able to work with the NCC Board and project planning team to make this ‘excess’ city property available at a fair market value purchase price for the construction of NCC facilities in Downtown Jamestown”The purchase will allow for an adaptive reuse and expansion of the former BPU building on the corner of Washington and 2nd Street to provide the total square feet needed for attraction space, construction of a connecting walkway to the East Wing of the Jamestown Gate-

way Train Station, the creation of a pedestrian walkway from Sec-ond Street to Comedy Center Park and the creation of a green courtyard outside the entrance to the attrac-tion. When this space is combined with the area that will be utilized inside the Gateway Station, the total NCC exhibit space will total approximately 35,000 square feet. Fair market value for the acquired proper-ties totals $130,000 and closing is slated to take place this summer when the Project has completed fund raising and has received site plan approval and nec-essary building permits.“The acquisition of this property represents a huge step forward for the Project”, said Tom Benson, National Com-edy Center Chairman. “Control of this site is critical in our eff orts to raise equity from the sale of Federal New Market Tax credits and it will allow us to move full speed ahead the complete the fi nal design and seek site plan approval. In addi-tion, it is another clear signal that the National Comedy Center Project is a reality.”The National Com-edy Center, a 501(c)(3) non-profi t, is designed to be a national at-traction based on the celebration of comedy: the craft and its con-tributors, and embod-ies Lucille Ball’s vision for her hometown of

Jamestown, New York. Global leisure econom-ics fi rm AECOM has been the fi nancial feasi-bility consultant on the project, and estimates a $23 million annual eco-nomic impact on the region resulting from a projected 114,000 visitors. “There is no place in the world that wel-comes visitors to im-merse themselves in all aspects of comedy, from the earliest cartoons to the most recent pod-casts”, Journey Gunder-son, Executive Director of the NCC, said. “The National Comedy Cen-ter is poised to become that place, a year – round destination with spectacular interactive and fun exhibits, rous-ing performances and stimulating program-ming.” The visitor experience has been designed by world-renown creative fi rms: Jack Rouse As-sociates, and interac-tive specialist Local Projects, which recently completed work on the 9/11 Memorial Mu-seum in New York. Construction on the newly-acquired prop-erty is targeted to begin in August, and the Na-tional Comedy Center is projected to open in the summer of 2016.

Wisdom is the ability to live life skillfully with the insight to know what course to take. God makes this available to us by giving us wisdom principles to live by.

If we choose not to live by them then we ignore God's outstretched helping hand. Therefore it is not God's fault if we go without this wisdom.God says in Proverbs 1:23, "Turn you at my reproof; behold I will pour out my Spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you." The word reproof means "to be corrected by the words of another." Notice the Bible gives us the responsibility to turn when God speaks to us through His Word. To turn means to adjust course and go a different way in light of what the Word has said. It is not the right things that we are doing that are hurt-ing our lives; it is the wrong things. The willingness to be correctable takes us from the wrong paths into the

right paths.When we hear the voice of God through His Word it puts us into a unique crisis of belief. The fact is that God's Word is very challenging and it demands our discom-fort and inconvenience in or-der to obey fully. The crisis of belief is this: If we hear the Word and do not take action then we deceive our-selves and we demonstrate to God that we do not really have faith in what He said. And actually doing what we hear may put us to discom-fort and inconvenience for a season until we reap the blessing. The believer needs to separate themselves from the drive through mental-ity that says, "Have it your way." We always want what we want when we want and it usually means we want it

right now! With God there are SEASONS of planting before harvest comes.Correction is God's method of getting into the harvest seasons. Course adjustments in our thinking, speaking, and actions are like rain to thirsty land. You can spot a person who is truly hungry for God: They are easily corrected and glad to be ad-monished. The willingness to be corrected is our protec-tion against pride. You can-not long for correction and be in pride at the same time. Correction is the opposite of offense. An offended person is impossible to bless. Your heart will receive the Word at the speed you desire cor-rection. A teachable person is like a sponge for God's Word. They soak it in with a desire to search themselves

in order to present a greater offering to the Lord. If the Word can offend you then you are dry soil. If you al-low the Word to correct you then you allow the Word to protect you. Notice what is dependant upon correction in Proverbs 1:23 shown above. God says that He'll pour out His Spirit upon those that are correctable at His Word. In the Spirit is where you'll find the solutions and victories to life. In the Spirit is where your health is, where you wealth is, and most impor-tantly, where your fellowship with God is. In the Spirit is where the fruit is. (Galatians 5:22-23)

Follow-ing Brundage’s presentation, The Excelsior Cornet Band, New York State’s only authentic Civil War brass band, will enlighten, educate, and entertain the audience using antique in-struments that date back to the 1860s. Refreshments will be served and doors open at 6:30 p.m.Mark Dunkelman, regimen-tal historian of the 154th New York Volunteer Infan-

try, will discuss “Lincoln through the Eyes of a Civil War Regiment” on Wednes-day, April 8 at 7 p.m. in Williams Center Room S204. Mr. Dunkelman has been a dedicated scholar of the 154th since learning as a child that his great-grandfa-ther served in the regiment.

Interested parties can learn more about his work at http://www.hardtackregi-ment.com/.A group of Civil War reen-actors will encamp on the Fredonia campus from the evening of Thursday, April 9 through Sunday, April 12. Representing the 9th New York Cavalry (a group that was based out of Westfield) and the 4th South Carolina regiments, the reenactors will provide a window into the experiences of both Union and Confederate soldiers. Visitors will have a chance to see how soldiers camped, prepared their foods, and examples of the weapons that would have been used. The reenactors will encamp on “Three Man Hill,” near Ring Road and the Rockefeller Arts Cen-ter. The public is welcome to visit at any time during daylight hours.Finally, on Wednesday, April 22, at noon in Williams Center Room S204, Fredo-nia professors and staff will engage in a roundtable dis-cussion about voting rights

in the United States. Bruce Simon, associate professor in the Department of English, will examine voting rights though the lens of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s, “Chiefly about War Matters,” Frederick Douglass’ “The Heroic Slave” and Herman Mel-ville’s “Benito Cereno.” Jon-athan Chausovsky, associate professor in the Department of Politics and International Affairs, will discuss the Vot-ing Rights Act, the Supreme Court, and the contempo-rary war on voting. Randy Hohle, assistant professor in the Department of Sociol-ogy, Anthropology, Social Work, and Criminal Justice, will address the ways that unequal access to the vote has eroded the citizenship rights of people of color and contributed to the develop-ment of mass incarceration. Jellema Stewart, director of the Center for Multicultural Affairs (CMA), will discuss student voting, particularly as it relates to student groups under the umbrella of the CMA. The panel will be moderated by Professor

New York state resi-dents who have been unemployed long-term have the opportunity to participate in a ma-chinist training pro-gram.The program provides training that is im-mediately applicable in a machining envi-ronment and helpful in other areas such as drafting and mechani-cal engineering.

Information sessions for the program will be held at Jamestown Community College’s North County Center in Dunkirk at 10:30 a.m. on April 9 and the Jamestown Campus at 10 a.m. on April 16. To reserve a seat, call 363.6500 by April 2 for the Dunkirk session and 338.1005 by April 6 for the Jamestown session.The majority of the program will be con-ducted at the Manu-

facturing Technol-ogy Institute at JCC’s Jamestown Campus.Individuals who have been unemployed for 20 weeks or more may be eligible to partici-pate in the program at no cost. The funding allows up to 20 indi-viduals to complete the program, so space is limited. Individuals currently employed are not eligible to participate, but are encouraged to attend an information session

to learn more about the program.The program covers all classroom tuition and material costs and focuses on knowledge and hands-on training that prepares partici-pants for employment as entry level machin-ists.Classroom and hands-on training, includ-ing a combination of college credit (19 hours) and non-credit classes spread over 12 months, is featured in

the 445-hour program. Training for the manu-facturing environment including drafting, shop math, CNC ma-chining, teamwork, and lean manufacturing processes.JCC’s Center for Continuing Education received a $99,998 grant award via funding through the Western New York Regional Economic Development Council’s Consolidated Funding Application to provide

the machinist training program free of cost to eligible participants.Various manufacturers provided input into cre-ating the program by identifying a need for skilled, qualified ma-chinists to fill vacancies in their organizations. Certain manufacturers in Chautauqua, Cat-taraugus, and Allegany counties have agreed to consider machin-ist training program graduates for possible employment.

The northern long-eared bat – a candidate for protection under the federal Endan-gered Species Act – has been identified at the State University of New York at Fredonia’s College Lodge property.Jonathan Townsend, a research biologist who earned a master’s degree from Fredonia in May 2014, documented the presence of the northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentriona-lis) in an acoustical survey undertaken in August 2014 to assess bat biodiversity in the 200-acre parcel located south of Brocton.Ultrasonic surveys taken at night analyzed the calls made by bats as they were hawking for insects and de-termined their species based on specific calls. Another five of nine species of bats found in New York State – including little brown bat (Myotis lucifugus), hoary bat (Lasiurus cinereus), eastern red bat (Lasiurus borealis),

big brown bat (Eptesicus fuscus) and silver haired bat (Lasionycteris noctivagans) – were also identified.Evidence of the northern long-eared bat in Chautau-qua County is especially significant. Bat populations have been decimated by White Nose Syndrome, a disease that kills bats as they hibernate and has resulted in declines of 90 to 99 percent in affected species. Animals and plants placed on the endangered species list are at risk of becoming extinct.Documenting their presence in Chautauqua County in the lodge forest just adds to the remarkable character of the property, Townsend said. “Northern long-eared bats prefer to forage and roost in mature older forests with large trees, such as the old growth at the Col-lege Lodge.” There are few places left in the county that contain large tracts of old growth forests, he added.Townsend compiled four surveys there in the last two years and more than 20 surveys in Chautauqua

and Cattaraugus counties for his master’s thesis and, as a volunteer, for the New York State Department of Environmental Conserva-tion. Jessica Pasieka, his girlfriend, who shares his passion for bat conservation, assisted Townsend in the survey work.Before returning to Fredo-nia for graduate study, Townsend, who grew up in Olean and earned a bach-elor’s degree in Environmen-tal Science at Fredonia in 2005, worked as a naturalist, environmental analyst and biologist for non-profits such as the Buffalo Audubon Society, New York State Department of Environmen-tal Conservation, private companies and consulting groups. He is presently a biologist with Ecology and Environment, Inc., and resides in Stockton.“I was very much hoping to find the northern long-ears at the College Lodge,” Townsend said. “Western New York falls within their geographic range in general, and they have been identi-fied elsewhere in the county

through the other surveys I conducted,” Townsend explained. “The presence of social calls at the lodge in-dicates good nursery as well as foraging habitat, which means they are likely raising young each year there.”Though considered me-dium-size, the northern long-eared bat has a wing span of nine to 10 inches. Its habitat in the eastern and north central United States encompasses 37 states and the District of Columbia, as well as many Canadian provinces. Adult northern long-eared bats can live up to 19 years.No other threat is as se-vere and immediate to the northern long-eared bat and other bat species as White Nose Syndrome, according to the U.S. Fish and Wild-life Service. Bats play an important role in nature by consuming massive amounts of insects, such as mosquitos that spread West Nile Virus and other diseases, as well as agricultural pests that include grape berry moths, Japanese beetles and grape rootworms.

After symptoms of the disease were first observed in New York State in 2006, White Nosed Syndrome spread rapidly from the Northeast to the Midwest and Southeast, an area that includes the core of the northern long-eared bat’s habitat.Additional factors believed to impact the ability of bat species to survive include loss or degradation of sum-mer and winter habitats, environmental pollution and wind turbine operation.

The next feature film in the Opera House Cinema Series is “Still Alice,” the story of an accomplished linguistics professor’s slow decline with Alzheimer’s which won Julianne Moore an Oscar. It will be screened on Sat., Mar. 28, and Tues., Mar. 31, at 7:30 p.m.

Based on the book “Still Alice,” by Lisa Genova, the film is the story of Alice Howland (Moore), a renowned linguistics profes-sor who starts to forget words. When she receives a diagnosis of Early-Onset Alzheimer’s Disease, Alice and her family find their bonds thoroughly tested. Her struggle to stay connected to who she once was is frightening, heartbreaking, and inspir-ing.

Moore’s performance in the film has earned universal acclaim including Best Actress wins for the Golden Globe Awards, the Screen Actors’ Guild Awards, the Critics’ Choice Movie Awards, and The British Academy Film Awards, in addition to the Os-car. The film also stars Alec Baldwin, Kristen Stewart and Kate Bosworth.

Kenneth Turin, in the Los Angeles Times, says “losing your mind is a terrible thing to watch, but the splendid acting in ‘Still Alice’ makes it worth the pain.” Steven Rea, in the Philadelphia Inquirer, says “the great strength of the film is that it never resorts to cheap sentimentality. The facts themselves are hard enough, crushing enough.” Renee Rodriguez, in the Miami Herald, calls the film “harrowing, as any story about Alzheimer’s should be, but Moore gives it an extra layer of gravity and heartbreaking inevitability.” Rex Reed, in the New York Observer notes “thanks to this brave and gutsy actress’ overwhelming candor and sincerity, you go away feeling educated, enlightened and more compassionate than you can possibly imagine.” Rated PG-13 for mature thematic material, and brief language including a sexual reference, “Still Alice” runs 101 minutes.

The Opera House Cinema Series is sponsored by Lake Shore Savings Bank. Tickets are available at the door for $7 (adults), $6.50 (seniors & Opera House members) and $5 (students) the night of each screening. A book of 10 movie passes is avail-able for $60 at the door or online at www.fredopera.org. For more information, call the Opera House Box Office at 716-679-1891. The Opera House is equipped with individualized closed captioning headsets for the deaf as well as with assistive listening headsets for the hearing-impaired. Simply request one from any usher or Opera House staff member. The 1891 Fredonia Opera House is a member-supported not-for-profit performing arts center located in Village Hall in down-town Fredonia.

There is really no way to know for sure if you're going to get colorectal cancer. Cer-tain factors can make you more likely to get colorectal cancer than another person. These are called risk factors. However, just having one or more risk factors does not mean you will get cancer. In fact, you can have many risk factors and still not get colorectal cancer, or you can have few or no known risk factors and still get it.Some risk factors, such as having a family history of cancer or getting older, are out of your control. But other risk factors — what you eat, how much you

weigh, whether you smoke, how much you drink, and how often you exercise — are factors you can control. If you try to focus on these risk factors and make necessary lifestyle changes, you will not only decrease your risk of colorectal cancer, but you will see additional health benefi ts such as lowering heart disease and diabetes!Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths among men and women. It af-fects people in all racial and ethnic groups and is most often found in people age 50 and older. The good news? Colorectal cancer is one of the most pre-ventable cancers. If everyone age 50 and older were screened

regularly, 6 out of 10 deaths from colorectal cancer could be pre-vented. Colonoscopy Colonoscopy is the gold standard among colon cancer screening tests. It is the best way to determine the existence of small polyps and whether they may be developing into cancer. A colon polyp is a be-nign tumor or growth on the inner surface of the colon. For unknown reasons, some indi-viduals grow polyps, or small lumps of tis-sue, on the inner wall of the colon. What’s important is that colon polyps may turn into colon cancer over time. While not every colon polyp turns to cancer, it is believed that almost every colon cancer

begins as a small non-cancerous polyp. That’s why a colonos-copy screening is vital to preventing colorectal cancer. Unfortunately, colonos-copies have consistently low compliance rates — as low as 25-30 per-cent by some estimates. It may be discomfort and embarrassment for the most part, but patients have also in-dicated that ineffi cient scheduling is another common culprit. When patients are responsible for scheduling their own screenings, they can easily forget about it or let it slide down their to-do list.Westfi eld Memorial Hospital Direct Scope ProgramIn an eff ort to cut through some of the

obstacles and barri-ers to care, Westfi eld Memorial Hospital has instituted a new “Di-rect Scope” program that streamlines the scheduling process to better ensure that more patients will undergo the screening proce-dure.Patients or their Pri-mary Care Physician can make one phone call to the Westfi eld Memorial Hospital Scope Program to schedule the screening colonoscopy at a time that is convenient for them. In most cases, the procedure can be scheduled within days of the call. The team of surgeons and gastroenterologists who are part of the Westfi eld Memorial Direct Scope Program have set aside specifi c

times for scheduling Direct Access cases and it has proven to be satisfying to patients and their primary care physicians. This proac-tive outreach has also become a strong moti-vator for patients, many of whom react with an attitude of "might as well get it over with it!" With busy schedules and valuable time, the doctors and staff of Westfi eld Memorial Hospital have commit-ted to improving the scheduling process so that more patients will undergo screening colo-noscopy. So, if you’re over the age of 50 and haven’t had a colonos-copy, take advantage of the Direct Scope program at Westfi eld Memorial Hospital. Call 716-793-2221 for more information.

Colon Cancer Awareness Event at Brooks MemorialBy Brad JarrettContributing Writer

Brad Jarrett is a youth and adult fi tness coach, and the owner of the F.I.T. Project. He is an after school youth fi tness program and personal trainer. For comments on this article, or questions, email bjarrett@gmail.com.Where did the fun in our fi tness go?Why have we made the gym boring?When did we lose our creativity, imagination, and drive to PLAY?Recently I had the op-portunity to go to Fit Me Up in Cleveland, OH; a gym centered on Youth Fitness. The ex-perience was profound in many ways, not the least of which was com-ing to the realization that kids make fi tness FUN!They run, climb, crawl, and MOVE; freely. They are willing to lose themselves in a game, and let the worries of their world fade away while they work to ac-complish their goals. They love to be chal-lenged, and are willing try anything for their team in order to bring home a victory.Have we adults lost the ability to do this?Why don’t we let loose and enjoy a game with others? Why are we reluctant to let go of our cares and worries? And lastly, why do we allow this reluctant attitude to aff ect our experience with fi tness?

Let’s take a vow to stop dreading the gym. I’m asking you to take action and make your fi tness FUN!So how do we do that? I’ll start you off with these thoughts…Playing a game of kickball, or tag can be just as eff ective as doing squats. Battling in a game of tug of war can work your body harder than any treadmill or elliptical ever will.As you play these games, you will move your body in ways no gym equipment can mimic. At the same time, you’ll recruit muscles no machine will be able to reach. More muscles recruited means more muscle being used and consequently repaired. As your body repairs this muscle, you see a corresponding in-crease in muscular size.These simple games are metabolic POW-ERHOUSES that will increase your calorie burn DURING and AFTER your workout. Burning more calories means more weight loss; and more weight loss can lead to increased health and longevity.More importantly…Connecting with others as you play will bring about a bigger impact than any “exercise” EVER could. Games bring people together. Teamwork creates community. When you come to this realiza-tion YOUR fi tness will reach a whole new level. YOU WILL WANT

TO EXERCISE! At this point, fi tness becomes easy, and life-changing.Now, maybe you can’t think of anyone who’d want to play a fi tness based game with you?I can.YOUR KIDS!!Let them be the coach; allow them to run the show and TEACH YOU the rules. Wheth-er it’s a game they make up, or one they’ve learned, they will love an opportunity to be the boss.This creates valuable time with your kids!! It creates bonds, builds trust and teaches them the importance of being active.More importantly it provides another oppor-tunity for you to show your LOVE for them.Look at it this way; who couldn’t use more time with their children? Who wouldn’t want to create a new bond with their kids, while simul-taneously pulling them away from TV and video games?Let your minds loose. Be creative. Allow your bodies’ the opportunity to be active.Grow TOGETHER.Have fun TOGETH-ER.These simple GAMES will do incredible things in your fi tness and rela-tionships.BRING BACK THE FUN.

Where is the Fun?Committing to Healthy Eating

TURNING SMALL CHOICES INTO A LIFESTYLEBy Tonja DoddContributing Writer

March has been deemed National Nutrition Month® for over 40 years. In 2015 the Ameri-can Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (AAND) sponsored message is, Bite into a Healthy Lifestyle®, encouraging consumers to make eating right a lifelong commitment. But what does that really mean? And how? Eating right should be-come part of your every-day behavior. The choices you make about food and drinks are (almost) always healthy ones and you don’t even think about it – it’s old hat. It’s like brush-ing your teeth. Every day. At least twice a day. A true habit. That is how in-tuitive and engrained into your life healthy eating choices should be. Eating healthy becomes your lifestyle. The grocer-ies you buy, how you fl avor your food and cook it, the places and choices you make when you eat out, the people you spend time with – all are infl uenced by your desire to eat healthy. It is part of who you are. But what should you eat? Consumers are constantly bombarded with informa-tion about what to eat. Don’t fall into the traps of fads. Pay attention to what the collective science says. In addition to the AAND, the USDA has science-based guidelines for Americans and can be found at choosemyplate.gov.

I interpreted a few mes-sages from choosemyplate to show you how you can make healthy eating part of your daily routine.• Enjoy your food and eat less of it – take pleasure and time when you eat - savor the food you eat and eat slowly – you will be less likely to overeat• Make half your plate vegetables and fruits – every meal or snack, stop and look at your plate, is it mostly vegetables and fruits? Eating whole fruits and vegetables gives you a sense of fullness and provides much needed vitamins, minerals, fi ber and other key nutrients often missed• Replace sugary drinks with no-calorie drinks – skip the soda and fancy latte; instead drink water with lemon or unsweet-ened tea – it’s an easy way to cut calories – and you won’t miss it, in fact you will fi nd you won’t crave sugary foods as much. Sound intimidating? Not who you are? You have good intentions but after a week you fall off the wagon? First, remind yourself why eating well is a good idea– for instance your skin will look better, your gastro-intestinal (GI) sys-tem will work better, you will better manage your weight and have more en-ergy, and more generally a healthy diet prevents many chronic conditions (such as high blood pres-sure, diabetes, osteoporo-sis and some cancers) and helps manage them if you have them. If that doesn’t resonate, do it for your

vanity. Do it for your fam-ily, your kids/grandkids. How? Make a plan. And act on it. Now. Visualize yourself in this new lifestyle. Ask, what would I look like in this new lifestyle? Who would I be? Write it down or draw a picture of your vision. Find a photograph that paints this picture. Make your vision your mantra. Examples could be, I will look and feel good because I make healthy eating a part of my life. I eat well for good health and to maintain a healthy blood pressure. Eating healthy is who I am so I can set an ex-ample for my children. Next, start with small tangible steps – all the foods in my grocery cart will be healthy this week. I will track my food and beverage intake for two weeks. I will have only one soda a month as a treat, starting April 1. Need more in-depth nutrition information?

8 CPO Luxury Sedans for $50,000 or LessContributed ArticleAutoTrader.com

If you're looking for a discount on a full-size luxury sedan, you prob-ably won't find a big one if you buy a new model, but there are deals to be had if you choose a used car, es-pecially a certified pre-owned (CPO) vehicle. These cars combine many of the benefits of buying a new car, including a manufac-turer-backed warranty, with the value of buying used, giving you the best of both worlds. To help illustrate our point, we've rounded up eight excellent luxury sedans that you can get today with a long certified pre-owned warranty for $50,000 or less.Audi A8That's right, Audi's full-size, well-equipped A8 luxury sedan can be had with a full Audi certified pre-owned warranty, which pro-vides coverage for up to 6 years or 100,000 miles from the original sale date, for around $50,000 or less. In fact, there are currently nearly 40 different A8 models on Autotrader matching that exact de-

scription and touting an amazing $30,000-plus discount from new. Best of all, we aren't talking about the outgoing A8 body style, which was discontinued following the 2010 model year. Instead, the models we're recommending come from the luxury sedan's latest genera-tion, which means they will remain modern and current for years into the future.BMW 5 SeriesWith a budget of around $50,000, you can have your pick of certified pre-owned BMW 5 Series models. And we really mean you can have your pick, as there are nearly 3,200 different 5 Series models on Autotrader for $50,000 or less. We especially recommend a V8-powered 550i, which boasts a muscu-lar twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 that offers 445 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque, amazing figures that place the model near the top of the luxury-sedan performance realm. Best of all, you'll get BMW's strong certi-fied warranty, which of-fers 6 years or 100,000 miles of coverage from the car's original sale

date.Hyundai EquusWhile you may be sur-prised to see a Hyundai listed among compe-tition from Jaguar, BMW, Lexus and Mer-cedes, the Equus cer-tainly deserves a spot on any list of top luxury cars due to its impres-sive interior, long list of equipment and reason-able pricing. Pricing is even more reasonable if you consider a certified pre-owned example, as there are nearly 90 dif-ferent Equus models on Autotrader for $50,000 or less. Icing on the cake is Hyundai's excel-lent certified pre-owned warranty, which is among the best in the business, consisting of 5 years or 60,000 miles of bumper-to-bumper coverage and an excel-lent 10 years or 100,000 miles of powertrain coverage from the origi-nal date of sale.Jaguar XJThe full-size Jaguar XJ is one of our favorite luxury sedans for a wide variety of reasons. Most of them relate to the car's style, which is aggressive, bold and unlike anything else on the road. But if you're looking for a good deal

on an XJ, depreciation is also a huge benefit. Prices are well in excess of $70,000 unless you look for a new, certified pre-owned XJ model, which is easy to find for under $50,000 among the nearly 100 models currently available on Autotrader. Certified used Jags also include the brand's excellent CPO warranty, which provides coverage for up to 6 years or 100,000 miles from the date of purchase.Lexus LSThere are nearly 200 different Lexus LS sedans currently avail-able on Autotrader with a certified pre-owned warranty for around $50,000 or less. That's great news for drivers interested in a good deal on a luxury sedan, especially since Lexus' warranty is generally regarded to be among the best in the business, touting 3 years of cover-age from the day you buy the car. The same compliment can also be said about the impres-sive LS 460, which features a silky-smooth 4.6-liter V8, a cavern-ous interior and a com-fortable ride, whether you're sitting in front or relaxing in back.

Mercedes-Benz CLS-ClassThe stylish Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class offers a unique look that helps it stand out from many staid, conservatively styled luxury sedans. It also offers a bold interior with modern styling and seating for only four, leading Mer-cedes to call it a luxury coupe. If that sounds appealing, consider this: There are nearly 70 different certified pre-owned CLS-Class models currently for sale on Autotrader for around $50,000 or less. And while we aren't thrilled with Mercedes' short 1-year warranty, we like the program's unlimited mileage and that you can pay extra to extend the warranty for additional years if you want.Mercedes-Benz E-ClassA wide range of Mer-cedes E-Class models are available with a certified pre-owned warranty for around $50,000 or less. In fact, there are 2,700 such vehicles currently on Autotrader. That means you can choose from a variety of engine types, body styles and even drivetrains, since

the E-Class offers both rear- and all-wheel drive. And while you'll only get a 1-year certi-fied warranty from Mercedes-Benz, you get unlimited mileage from your date of pur-chase and the option to extend the warranty for several additional years at extra cost.Volvo S80Although the Volvo S80 can cost well above $50,000 when new, many certified pre-owned models are available for well below that figure. In fact, many certified used S80s are in the $20,000-to-$40,000 range; you'll probably be able to pick one up without using your en-tire budget. That's good news for shoppers who want a well-equipped luxury sedan, since that's exactly what the S80 is. We like its smooth powertrains and comfortable ride, too. The best part is you'll be able to take advantage of Volvo's strong certified pre-owned warranty, which provides fully transfer-able, no-deductible cov-erage for up to 7 years or 100,000 miles from the original sale date.

Sheridan, New York, located on the border of the town of Pomfret and the town of Ha-nover, may not be large by most defi nitions, but it plays a pivotal role in both commerce and business in northern Chautauqua County.The town, with a population that hov-ers just above 2,500 people, consists of both agricultural territory, and plays host to the Chautauqua County Airport.The area that makes up Sheridan was fi rst settled in the early 1800s, similar to much of what makes up the north county area. With the infl ux of state and federally funded roads, US Route 20, which steers through the heart of the little

town, brought with it plenty of traffi c and business that provided Sheridan with the kick start it needed to become the hometown it is today.Finding a home in Sheridan is the publicly owned Chautauqua County Airport, which boasts one of the fastest Citation aircrafts in the world. Based out of the airport is Dunkirk Aviation, a family owned and operated fl ight school.According to their website, dkk.com, “After several years of teaching U.S. Army Air Corp pilots how to fl y during World War II, John J. Nalbone Sr. founded a fl ight school at the Werle Airport nearby and began teaching civil-ians to fl y in late 1945. In 1958, he moved the fl ight school to its current location at

the Dunkirk Airport. And in 1970, Dunkirk Aviation Flight School joined with the Cessna Aircraft Company to become one of the original Cessna Pilot Center charter mem-bers when Cessna

founded the CPC program of integrated fl ight training.”Other notable Sheri-dan landmarks are, of course, the volunteer fi re department, which serves with EMS sup-port to the local and

neighboring areas. And, a thriving VFW Post, both located on Route 20 in the heart of the town.Sheridan, like many Western New York towns, may not be a large presence in size

or population, but it fi lls the heart of the residents and the busi-nesses alike with pride in their land, heritage and legacy.

Maple Weekend is one of the premier agri-tourism events in America. Almost 160 maple producers across New York State open their facilities to show people how maple syrup and related maple products are made from the tree to their table. This fantastic, family-oriented event takes visitors back to their agricultural roots as they learn how a clear, water-like sap becomes a golden brown nectar. Visitors tell us they enjoy the many diff erent locations for the event because each producer has something diff erent to teach and entertain the guests. Whether it’s horse and wagon rides into the woods, farm animal petting areas or pan-

cake breakfasts, there is something for everyone at Maple Weekend. The best part of every visit though is chance to sample maple syrup and other products to see what all the fuss is about.

According to the Cornell Sugar Maple Research & Exten-sion Program, the aptly-namedSugar Maple lives up to its name and is generally said to have sap with higher sugar content, thereby producing bet-ter fl avored syrup than other maple species. Although no one knows the exact reason for the higher sugar content, scientists suggest it may be related to the struc-ture of the wood where the sugar is stored. Other commonly tapped maples include the Red Maple (or Soft Maple), Black Ma-ple andSilver Maple.And now, we take a moment to give you this brief science lesson: Sugar is produced in the leaves during pho-tosynthesis. It is trans-ported into the wood and stored during the winter, mostly in the form of carbohydrates. It is then converted to sucrose and dissolved in the sap.Now that you know where the maple sugar comes from, you’ll appreciate it even more the next time you’re pouring it over your pancakes!

WHICH VARIETY OF MAPLE TREE PRODUCES THE BEST SYRUP?

MAPLE WEEKEND

Five Reasons to Buy Pure Maple SyrupThere are a number of reasons to choose Pure Maple products in preference

to other sweetener and sugar products available.

It’s NaturalMaple producers collect sap from the tree and boil it to remove water to concentrate the sugars and other substances produced by maple trees. Producers who tend the maple forest rarely use pesticides and fertilizers. Sugar making from maple trees is a traditional American activity. Turning maple sap into sugar has not changed from the basic process used by Native Americans hundreds of years ago even though the equipment has. So what you consume in Pure Maple is what the tree has produced from sunlight and soil.

Great FlavorPure Maple syrup is a unique and complex collection of fl avors, one of which is the distinct maple fl avor. Americans have used and cherished this fl avor for more than 400 years. There are as many as 50 natural fl avor elements that only exist in the real thing. No food chemist can reproduce this. And each Pure Maple syrup is different in fl avor! This is due to the unique combination of soil, weather, tree physiology, and the craftsmanship of the maple producer. Pure Maple products provide a fl avor adventure similar to wine, coffee, tea, or chocolate. All of these products refl ect a unique combination of plant, growing location, and processing artistry. All of this is there to enjoy each time you consume a Pure Maple product.

There are Potential Health AdvantagesAlthough Pure Maple contains mostly natural sugars, it contains other substances as well. Minerals absorbed by the tree are present, especially calcium. Sugar maples have a high calcium requirement and people do also. Phenols and antioxidants are present and can be active against cancer and free radicals. Potential health advantages of these natural compounds have been demonstrated in laboratory testing. These benefi cial substances are removed in more highly refi ned sugars. For those with diabetes, Pure Maple must be consumed with the same care used for other foods. Its effect on blood glucose is the same as other sugars, but it has advantages described here that other sweeteners don’t have.

Buy Local!The signifi cant labor involved in gathering sap in the spring means that Pure Maple has its start mostly in small, family-run businesses. This is especially true in New York. Buying local means you are supporting a New York business, a community, and maybe your neighbor. It means that you can determine the conditions of production and where ingredients come from, if you want to. Maple production in New York is subject to state and federal laws and inspections. Buying local contributes to food security and keeps your money closer to home.

Sustainable ForestryNew York is 63% forests, which is the best use for much of our landscape. Forests provide a natural fi lter for our water supply. They store carbon better than other landscape uses, thus combating global warming. They provide habitat for many plants and animals, helping to preserve biodiversity. They are a great place to enjoy the wonders of nature. Pure Maple is a renewable sustainable resource. Maple sugaring allows you to appreciate a small part of the value of the forest as part of your daily meals while helping to sustain this natural resource.

cake breakfasts, there is something for everyone at Maple Weekend. The best part of every visit though is chance to sample maple syrup and other products to see what all the fuss is about.

Bills' Moves Review

By Stefan GestwickiStar Sports Editor

The Steele Hall ice rink on the Fredonia State University campus was even more busy than usual this past week-end. There were hockey players, parents and officials everywhere. The reason, of course, was the Northern Chautauqua County Youth Hockey Association’s 30th Annual Lake Shore Savings Invitational Tournament. “This is our 30th year holding the tournament,” NCCY-HA league president Shaun Fadale said. “It’s a big deal. We try to moderate it so that we get comparable teams to play each other. A lot of these teams we share tourna-ments with. We’ll go to their tournament and they’ll come to see us. Kevin Persch, our tournament director, really puts together a great tournament.”The tournament brought teams from all over Western New York and even Eastern Ohio to the Fredonia cam-pus. The players ranged from ages 4-18 across three divi-sions — Squirt, Pee Wee and Midget.The NCCYHA Steelers had teams in each of the three divisions, totaling over 50 local players. The tournament had 12 teams and more than 200 players in total.

“The tournament is a pretty big fundraiser for the league,” Persch noted. “I’m not exactly sure how it com-pares to the spaghetti fundraiser, but it’s probably pretty close. This is definitely one of our top two fundraisers.“Lake Shore Savings is our title sponsor,” Persch contin-ued. “They’ve been doing that for years. DFT/Netsync is sponsoring our concession stand upstairs. We also have some other donors that wish to remain anonymous. Field-brook Farms has always been great to us. They donate ice cream every year. Those are just some of the sponsors that we’d like to thank.”Of course, none of this could have happened without the partnership the league has with the college itself.“(University President) Dr. Horvath is instrumental in all of this,” Fadale added. “She does puck drops. You see her peeking in and watching games throughout the course of the weekend. The staff here is great, too. The managers here make sure the ice is done on time. They sharpen

MANDATORY BILLS REVIEW, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 26

By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

The Buffalo Bills have won the Super Bowl of the offseason. If the goal was to make as many headlines as possible, the Bills passed with flying colors. As easily the most active team in the National Football League, the Bills gave their players and fans reason to be excited for next season.Whether this plethora of moves will actually equate to wins re-mains to be seen, but for a team

that hasn’t made the playoffs this millennium, it was probably worth the risk.The first thing the Bills did, of course, was bring in Rex Ryan to be the team’s next head coach after Doug Marrone inexplicably, moronically, idiotically opted out of his contract and eventu-ally ended up as the offensive line coach of the mighty Jacksonville Jaguars. Ryan has a reputation in the league, for better or for worse. Yes, he’s a loud, brash, cocky man. But he also brings the reputation of being a brilliant defensive mind. For a team that already has a ton of talent on the defensive side of the ball, Ryan could conceivably elevate this unit to elite status like he did with an equally talented Baltimore Ravens unit as a defensive coordinator.Ryan immediately started making moves. Ryan brought in former San Francisco 49ers offen-sive coordinator Greg Roman to serve the same position in Buffalo. After looking at the stats that showed the 49ers in the bottom five in nearly every offensive statistic, I hated the move and didn’t understand why Ryan would choose this bum. But then I remembered when the Green Bay Packers hired Mike McCarthy as their head coach in 2006. He had been the coordinator for pathetic offenses in both San Francisco and New Orleans before being hired in Green Bay. I hated the hire with a passion. Well, 10 years later and it’s pretty clear that I was a fool.So perhaps Roman is more than what the statis-tics show. Let’s hope so.Ryan was unable to convince Jim Schwartz to stay on as defensive coordinator, so Ryan brought in Dennis Thurman for the job. Thurman held the same job in New York under Ryan for the past two years. As terrible as the Jets have been lately, there’s no denying that they’ve still had more than respectable defenses. I have little concern that the Bills defense will be great under Ryan’s watch.Rounding out Ryan’s staff was, well, Ryan’s staff. Nearly every assistant was brought over from New York. That actually tends to happen a lot in the NFL, so it’s not surprising. Hopefully they can build a better team than they had with the Jets.Well, there’s no escaping the biggest move of all, so I guess I’ll get to it. Yes, the Bills actually did trade star linebacker Kiko Alonso to the Phila-delphia Eagles for all-world running back LeSean McCoy. That wasn’t a dream. Shady is a Bill.Honestly, my first reaction to this news was pure horror. I couldn’t believe the Bills would ship away one of their up-and-coming stars (not to mention fan favorites) for a running back with a

ton of miles on his legs already. In an age where running backs are a dime a dozen, who would actually trade for a highly paid, aging runner? It just didn’t make sense. But the more I thought about it, I came to peace with the trade. The reasoning is multifold. First off, Alonso was hurt all of last year. He didn’t play a snap and the Bills defense was still an amazing unit. Could you argue that they’d have been even better with Alonso? Sure, but then we might not have gotten to see young guys like Preston Brown, who impressed everyone who watched him play.Going back to that idea that running backs are kind of “use them and cut them loose” in today’s NFL, it’s true. It seems that some teams can just plug in anybody into the backfield and get a productive runner. But then again, there has to be a reason why some guys stand out. What makes McCoy, Arian Foster, Le’Veon Bell, Eddie Lacy and pre-legal issues Adrian Peterson stand out above the crowd? They must actually be that much better than the average running back, right?

Even a respected, almost feared, player like C.J. Spiller won’t be missed at all once McCoy is back there. The guy can do it all. And unlike Spiller, he can actually find holes to run through (*gasp*). I’m excited to watch this guy play. He’s the real deal, no doubt, it’s just a matter of hav-ing tread left on the tires. The new contract he signed might come back to bite the Bills, but it at least lowers his cap hit for this season.Most recently, the Bills made a splash by signing receiver Percy Harvin. This is a move that I’m still not sure about. There’s no denying Harvin’s skill, but the guy has been run out of town three times now. He punched a teammate in the face. I remember him mysteriously missing key games against the Packers because he had migraines. As a migraine sufferer myself, I understand the vomit-inducing pain, but com’on man. There are going to be many upset fans if Harvin misses games for Buffalo. The deal wasn’t cheap either. For a team with plenty of other needs, it seems like the money could have been spent better elsewhere. There’s also only one ball. With Mc-Coy, Harvin, Robert Woods, Sammy Watkins and possibly Charles Clay if Buffalo finds a way to sign the tight end, someone is bound to be unhappy with their usage. It just seems like it’s asking for trouble. An offensive move I do like is the signing of full-back Jerome Felton. Felton has paved the way for some amazing runners. You could argue that the position is a dying one, but if the Bills are serious about their ground-and-pound approach, this was a great pickup. It’ll be nice to have a player in the backfield that can block rushing lineback-ers, etc., too. Then there’s the quarterback position, which the Bills “addressed” with the trade for Matt Cassel and the signing of long-time Joe Flacco backup Tyrod Taylor. I’ll be honest, I don’t know any-thing about Taylor. I’ll be honest again, I think Matt Cassel is fairly, if not very, terrible. Sure you could argue that he was good in New England and for one of his seasons in Kansas City. I’m more likely to argue that he was terrible other seasons and was in a quarterback battle with Christian Ponder, for goodness sake. Yet, I don’t hate the signing. It’s a veteran that will certainly push E.J. Manuel. Best case sce-nario, Manuel becomes the player that the Bills thought he’d be when they drafted him. Worst case scenario, both Manuel and Cassel stink and the Bills waste another season because of terrible quarterback play. Obviously, it’ll probably be somewhere in between. Cassel has made it clear that he doesn’t mind playing the role of men

tor. Look for the veteran to start the season under center but give way to Manuel. Perhaps this team could be like a San Francisco of a few years ago. Great defense and two capable quarterbacks. It’s not impossible, right?The best free agent the Bills signed was on the team last year as well. De-fensive end Jerry Hughes came back for about $9 million/year. He quoted “unfinished business” as his reasoning for coming back, but who would turn down that kind of money? He was Buffalo’s best player at times last season, so bringing him back was a no-brainer for management. I’ll be hap-py to have him back in Buffalo even if he regresses slightly from his output the past two seasons. The biggest loss of the offseason (beside Schwartz, perhaps) was safety Da’Norris Searcy. I’ve always loved Searcy’s game. The guy just knows how to play football. But Tennessee gave the former Bills safety a whopping four-year $24 million contract. That’s a ton of money. He’s a good player, but that’s great player money. Either way, Buffalo should address the safety position in the draft because Searcy’s 65 tackles and three interceptions last season won’t be replaced easily.The signing of offensive lineman Richie Incognito created some waves in the NFL universe as well. This is the guy that got caught in the Miami bullying scandal a few years ago. From all accounts, Incognito is a gigantic jerk. But he’s not exactly a criminal. And he’s made the Pro Bowl as an of-fensive guard — a position of major need for Buffalo. So while not thrilled that this guy is back in Buffalo (he spent part of the 2009 season with the Bills), as long as he doesn’t get into trouble, he should help the team. Rex Ryan is a guy that doesn’t seem to have locker room issues, so perhaps his influence will be good on Incognito.There are other, smaller moves of course, but the Bills had a pretty good offseason. The team is going to look very different when it takes the field

next season, but it should be improved. There’s no way Cassel is a down-grade from Kyle Orton and there are way more offensive weapons than I ever remember. If nothing else, the Bills should be fun and relevant, two things they haven’t really been in recent memory.

Decade Of Dominance: A Conversation With Fredonia DivingContributed ArticleFSU Sports Information Dept.

Fredonia sent its first-ever diver, Kelly Sponholz, to NCAA Champion-ships back in 2006. Now in 2015, 10 seasons after that first diver walked onto the national stage, four more Blue Devil divers are preparing for that same spotlight. Over the decade, Fredonia has won 28 out of 48 SUNYAC titles and sent 10 divers to NCAA Championships, eight of which were named All-American. On Thursday before practice the four divers and two coaches sat down to discuss the growth of Fredonia's div-ing program and dealing with the stress of national competition, which takes place March 18 - 21 in Shenandoah, Texas.Ryan Maloney: Leading up to this article I did this little experiment where I go around and ask people what the best sports program is on this campus. Can you guess what people say?Meghan Bartlett: Diving (laughing)Arron Carlson: Soccer, or hockey?Heather Colby: Basketball?RM: People tend to say women's lacrosse right now, because they've been very successful. But when you take a look at the diving program, it's not even close with how good you guys have been.Arthur Wang: I don't think that's news to them (everyone laughs).RM: Honestly though, 60% of the SUNYAC Championships over the last 12 years have gone to Fredonia, including 95% on the women's side in the last ten. That's incredible. So I want to get your take on why the diving program is so good and coaches I want to turn to you first.AW: The success of this program comes from (volunteer assistant coach) John Crawford who, ironically, never was a diver himself. A lot of the es-tablished routines that are built into the foundation of this program are things that he's learned. He's read a lot, and he's created a high intrinsic value for every diver who comes into this program. We look for recruits who have good, solid morals and who are talented. It's been built slowly but now any recruit who wants a chance to go to NCAA's has to make a visit to Fredonia before making a decision.Ryan Fuller: Yeah, with our recruits we look for good moral charac-ters and hard workers. I think that everyone is very determined and that has come through the program. Hard work and determination have been key.RM: And I imagine you can't have this level of success without finding those talented divers, so divers, "why did come to Fredonia?"MB: I was orginially at a Division I program, but I really wanted to come to a strong Division III program. I came to a camp here my senior year of high school and I remember working with Ryan, and I remem-ber working with Crawford, and I loved the way they had everything set up. You went back to the basics and worked on small things like board work, which a lot of places don't do. The divers here are really strong too and you really push yourself. Heather is my strongest competition and we were battling the whole year. We love each other but we want to beat each other.HC: Personally I wasn't that great in high school, but when I came here Crawford showed me around the campus. He actually showed me the pool last and I fell in love with the environment. It wasn't only how good the divers were but it was their attitudes towards me. I felt comfortable

with everyone. We're weird, and we're fun, and that's why Fredonia was so welcoming to me, because I felt a friendship the first day that I came here.RM: Now, Ryan, we hear the name Crawford being thrown around a lot but you've taken over the program now and were named SUNYAC Diving Coach of the Year in your first year (everyone cheers). Tell me how the transition has been for you.RF: Well at first it was really different to be the coach. I was in their place only two years ago and it was different being on the deck instead of in the water. But it's been a smooth transition, I think all the divers have been really welcoming. I try to keep things pretty similar to what was done with me in previous years. The divers do all the hard work though. My getting Diving Coach of the Year was all their work. I just try to give them confidence because I knew they could all be great.RM: Do any of the divers want to say anything about Ryan (all laugh).AC: Yeah, we had an amazing coach in Crawford and he knew so much, but when Ryan came in he already had all that knowledge built up from Crawford. He had a very good transition, coaching the same way Crawford did and keeping us all positive. The biggest thing that I found with Ryan is that he's done this. He's been to nationals, and had struggled with the same hard dives that we're working on now. He helped us push through to be better overall divers.

RM: Now, most students are really excited right now to go on vacation for spring break but you're all getting ready to go to Texas to compete with the best div-ers in the country. What's that like to prepare for?Jeff Matter: It's nerve-wracking a little bit. It's our last meet and the biggest one of our careers. We just try to get through practice though and have fun.HC: It's no longer a whole-team experience, it's a singular diver experience. We're not just trying to go through the motions, but have fun with it too because we earned this. We want to enjoy ourselves because this is Nationals.RM: I'm going to stick with you Heather because you were close to getting to Nationals for three years, and now you're there. What does that mean to you?HC: My four years haven't quite gone as planned (laughs). I was out with an injury part of my freshman year and sophomore was a rough year mentally and physically so I ended up stepping away. I came back junior year with limited preparation. This year, I was out with an injury for a while but I did my best. Making it felt that much better because I literally tried as hard as I could. I feel mentally and personal-ly accomplished because I pushed through more than I anticipated. I'm more proud of myself than I've ever been in my life.RM: To the guys now: You both won the regional zone meet (in Geneseo) which is quite an accomplishment. It sometimes gets over-

looked though because of the success of all the other divers. How difficult is it to get to this point?AC: Going into that meet we're more prepared from doing well at SUNYAC's. We don't worry about chasing first place at Zones, but rather getting in a place where it will take us to nationals. It's a little bit less scary for us know-ing that we're in a good po-sition with our scores. It's a very hard meet to win, and winning it was great, but ultimately it's about getting to Nationals.JM: Yeah, it's not easy at all. There are so few divers who get to go to nationals, only 24 from the entire country. It's the whole country and it's never easy to get there.RM: Megan, you won both boards at SUNYAC's. I imagine if anyone had high expectations to do well next week it would be you. How do you deal with those expectations?MB: Going into SUNY-AC's I knew it was kind of on me because we wanted to make it 10 years in a row of winning the 3-me-ter. They wanted the whole decade of divers getting first place, and I didn't even realize that until I got there and someone told me. I was shaking, I was so scared. But going into my last dive I saw that I was going to win and rode that wave into one-meter. I think I push myself the most though. Even though my coaches want me up top, I'm the hardest on myself.HC: Can I add to that? I think Megan thrives on competition. She freaks herself out but she does

the best of the best when she has someone there to push her, whether it be me, or someone at another competition. When she has that person there, she'll go miles.RM: I don't really think about that with diving. I normally see it as an indi-vidual sport.HC: I think mentally she needs that because it really helps her thrive.RM: And there has to be a lot of fear that goes with all this. I mean, I don't even want to get up on one of those things, let alone jump off it. How do you deal with the fear involved in all this? Heather, I'd particularly like to hear from you because of what you've been through this year (all laugh).HC: I've always gone nuts over adrenaline and when we were in Florida this year I wrecked my neck from 33 feet (3 meter diving board). I went back up afterwards to take a pic-ture and a wave of anxiety hit me. It was something I wasn't anticipating. The second I stepped up there.MB: I remember you sat down on the board and you were just holding your head.HC: My whole entire body was like, "Nope! Nuh Uh!" That was something I was never used to, be-ing scared of heights. And Ryan would just not let me get away with it. He said he understood that I was going to be scared but that it would be baby steps. We took it jump by jump and I gradually got back into it and learned not to be afraid anymore. It was a surreal experience but I couldn't be happier that he

didn't give up on me.RM: And lastly, what are each of your goals for nationals?JM: Top eight. If I can go top eight at nationals I'm happy. Winning would be cool, but I'm not necessar-ily expecting that.HC: I haven't even thought of it until right now. I like to set realistic goals, but I'd be comfortable coming out in the top 15.MB: I have two goals: one is top eight, and the other is to not trip and kill myself beforehand because I'm really clumsy (laughs).AC: Going back this year I want to do better than last year (13th). My biggest goal this year though is to stay calm and have fun and not be so overbearing on

myself. At this point we've all made it.After the interview the divers went to start their pre-practice routines. Colby soon ran back to the interview area, clearly with something important to say:HC: Can I say just one more thing? I wanted to say that I think another thing that really helps the divers is the support we get from our family and friends. They're always there either physically, emotionally, texting us, calling us, making sure that we do our best. Even if we're feeling bad they make sure we have no excuses. They're always en-couraging us to do better.

That feature was a list of “13 important things you need to know about the youth hockey uni-verse,” and was a very fun read.

“We partnered with the Clarion this year,” Persch noted. “Most of the teams are staying there.

BASEBALL HIGHLIGHTS 2045: IT'S BASEBALL...WITH ROBOTS, CYBORGS AND HAND MANAGEMENT

Here’s a shocker: I like sports. I also very much enjoy board games. Unfortunately, I have found very few games that keep the sports feel while also providing a solid gameplay experi-ence. Usually it’s either an incredibly dull game or the sports theme is nonexistent.But that hasn’t stopped me from trying new sports games. Eventu-ally I have to find one I like, right? That atti-tude led me to Baseball Highlights: 2045. Let’s take a look at this in-novative baseball card game.

BACKGROUNDBaseball Highlights: 2045 was designed by Mike Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald is the mind behind other hit games such as Diamonds and the Mystery Rummy series. BH2045 was first published earlier this year (2015) and is put out by Eagle-Gryphon Games. The contents of the box enable the

game to be played with 1-4 players, but this is really meant to be a two-player game. Suggested playing time is 45 minutes, but that seems long to me. Half an hour is probably more accurate. Sug-gested ages are 9 and up, but even a basic understanding of hand management in games or baseball would allow a younger player to do just fine.

INTRODUCTIONThe game is set in the year 2045. Baseball had fallen out of favor in America and major changes were made to the sport. Games were shortened to six innings and pitchers started to get bionic implants in their throwing arms. These cyborgs started throwing so hard and accurately, however, that human players could no longer hit. Therefore, robots were introduced to hit, but these robots were ter-rible fielders. So now the league has naturals, cyborgs and robots on the field at the same time. Each player takes control of a team and can play regular season games or jump right into a seven-game series.

MECHANICSThe game is mostly about hand manage-ment, but there is defi-nitely a deck-builder feel to it. Each player

starts the game with a deck of 15 fairly basic cards. These cards depict either a robot, cyborg or natural and also show what that card is capable of. Some cards are clutch hitters and will auto-matically hit a double if there is a player in scoring position. Other cards can cancel all hits against robots. A few pain-in-the-butt cards will turn an automatic double play and erase up to two base runners.The key element to the game is threatening hits. On the bottom of each player card, it shows a number of hits and how fast the ensu-ing base runners are (slow, average, fast). If I play a card that threat-ens two average singles and you don’t play a card that cancels hits, then at the end of your turn, I am going to resolve my impending hits. It’s very much a game of cat and mouse.

At the beginning of each mini-game, play-ers each draw a hand of six cards from their deck. That’s all they have to play with for “Game 1” of the series. There’s no playing a card and drawing a card. What you have is what you get. The visi-tors play a card, resolve any immediate effects, place any threatening hits on the board and then play passes to the home team. The home team then plays a card, resolves any immediate effects (such as cancel-ing a hit), places any threatening hits and then the visiting team would resolve any his that didn’t get canceled. Play continues like that until each player has played all six of their cards. The player with the most runs wins that mini game.Perhaps the most fun part of the game takes place between mini-games. Each player

card has a monetary value. Players add up the total value of the six cards they played during that mini-game and get to purchase free agents from a pool of available players in the center of the table. These players are much, much better than the generic start-ing players. When one of these free agents is purchased, another card from the deck must be sent to the “Minors” so that the deck is still exactly 15 cards. Then players draw six more cards and play Game 2 of the series, followed by an-other buy phase. This continues until a player has won four games.

FINAL THOUGHTSWow. Wow. Wow. I love this game. I love the simplicity of the back-and-forth card play. I love the robots playing baseball. I love the artwork. I

love names of the free agent naturals (Mickey Maris, Barry Sosa, Willie McGwire, Troy Jeter, etc.) The game seems to be incredibly balanced, too. There was one series that I played in where my op-ponent really got hosed with how his money got balanced between games. He simply couldn’t buy any of the best players available. I ended up with much better players and won because of that. But that was one game out of dozens. Honestly, the solo play is a ton of fun, too. It’s incredibly difficult, but I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my experience. Win-ning is very luck-based as you draw a deck of 15 random free agent cards to play as the A.I. and sometimes they get the best players and simply pummel you into oblivion.

TO OWN OR NOT TO OWNThis has to be an own for all baseball fans. It’s by far the best sports game I’ve ever played. It lends itself to multiple expansions (of which there are already a few small ones) and it was just released so it’s still very easy to find. In a hobby where games go out of print quickly and can become hard to find, I highly recom-mend picking this one up as soon as you can.

Lindback Leads Sabres To OT Win Over BruinsBy Doug AldenAP Sports Writer

BOSTON (AP) — Despite his second shootout in two nights, Buffalo goalie Anders Lindback found a way to top the Bruins.Lindback made seven of his 44 saves in overtime, then shut out Boston for three rounds of the shootout as the Sabres rallied to beat the Bruins 2-1 on Tuesday night.''I think we as a team deserve it. We have been working so hard and where we are it's a tough situation to be in for everyone that is here,'' said Lind-back, who came to the last-place Sabres in a February trade with Dallas.Lindback hadn't won as a starter with the Stars or Sabres this season. He was in the net Monday when the Sabres lost to Wash-ington 4-3 in a shoot-out and coach Ted Nolan planned to give him the night off in Boston.Nolan reconsidered and Lindback re-sponded.''It's where I've been aiming to be,'' Lind-back said. ''You have to be able to give your team a chance to win every night as a starting goalie in this league. It's not an easy thing. It's what I've been working for and trying to get there.''Lindback faced 38 shots against the

Capitals, then 45 more from the Bruins. The only one to get past him Tuesday night was after a funny bounce off the back boards came right to Loui Eriksson outside the crease.Eriksson tapped it in to give Boston a 1-0 lead 9:55 into the first period.Lindback said he mis-read the puck on the play, but saw it clearly the rest of the game while stopping the Bruins, who are trying to hang on to the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.''Right now it's about results and it's defi-nitely a big point that we've let slip by,'' said Patrice Bergeron, who was stopped by Lindback to open the shootout.Boston's Torey Krug

shot wide on the final attempt of the shoot-out, clinching Lind-back's first victory as a starter this season. Lindback was 0-10-2 as a starter with Dallas Stars and the Sabres.Rasmus Ristolainen scored Buffalo's goal early in the third period to tie it, and the Sabres earned their first victory over Boston this season. Ty-ler Ennis had the only goal in the shootout, putting a wrist shot under the crossbar

that was confirmed after the officials gath-ered to discuss it.''The way it sounded, I thought it went in. I was hoping it went in,'' Nolan said.Niklas Svedberg had 23 saves for Boston.''As the game goes on, you've got full control. You've got a 1-0 lead and you just can't seem to get that second goal,'' Boston coach Claude Julien said. ''Those are the dangerous situations to be in when a team

hangs around that long and eventually they're going to get a break somewhere and they did.''Lindback had made a blocker save on Bergeron's wrist shot from the right circle with about six min-utes left in the third period, and stopped a wraparound attempt by David Pastrnak to keep the Sabres in it.Brad Marchand got off a tough wrist shot early in overtime that Lindback gloved out of the air. He smothered another wrist shot by Krug with 3:12 left in overtime on the Bruins' 40th shot of the game.''They work extremely hard in practice,'' Nolan said. ''He's not your typical goalten-der who takes a few shots and gets off. He wants a lot of shots and he stays in for some breakaway shots. Players love that and when they love that, they usually play hard for you.''The Sabres had just three shots in the first period. Buffalo gradu-ally got stronger as Lindback continued making difficult saves.

Ristolainen tied it 1-1 on a goal 1:13 into the third period. Ristolainen's slap shot deflected off a player or two before making its way through traffic and beating Svedberg.Eriksson gave Boston a 1-0 lead after the puck took an unex-pected bounce off the end boards. Lindback thought the puck was going to go around the boards, but it came out just far enough for Eriksson to poke it in from just outside the crease.NOTES: Boston re-called G Jeremy Smith from Providence of the AHL to back up Svedberg. Tuukka Rask rested with what the Bruins called ''general soreness.'' Rask had started the previous four and seven of eight. ... Brian Gionta's assist on Ristolainen's goal gave him 26 points in 50 games against Boston. ... The Bruins outshot the Sabres 14-3 in the first period.

Bills Sign Former Miami TE Clay To Offer SheetBy John WawrowAP Sports Writer

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) -- Tight end Charles Clay moved one step closer to leaving the Miami Dolphins after signing the Buff alo Bills' fi ve-year, $38 million contract off er on Tuesday night.A person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press that the Bills extended Clay the off er. And a second person told the AP that Clay had signed it. Both people spoke on the condition of anonymity because the Bills and Clay have not publicly discussed their negotiations.The signing means the Dolphins have fi ve days to match the off er or lose Clay to Buff alo without compensation. Miami retained the right to match after awarding Clay a transition tag two weeks ago. The move ensured that Clay will make at least $7 million this season.The Dolphins could be handcuff ed by salary-cap constraints to match the Bills' off er after Miami signed free-agent All-Pro defensive tackle Ndamu-kong Suh to a $114 million, six-year contract last week. It made Suh the highest-paid defensive player in NFL history.The Bills made Clay one of their top free-agent targets this off season. Clay traveled to Buff alo by private jet on March 10, the fi rst day of the league's signing period. He then spent several days in town to meet with team of-fi cials and tour the region.Clay has been a four-year starter in Miami since being selected in the sixth round of the 2011 draft. He had 58 catches last season for 605 yards and three scores. Overall, he has 161 catches for 1,809 yards and 14 touch-

downs in 58 games.At 6-foot-3, and 255 pounds, Clay has the prototypical size and catching ability of a tight end that would fi t the run- and short-pass oriented off ense the Bills are introducing under new coach Rex Ryan and off ensive coordi-nator Greg Roman.The Bills have already opened room on their roster to have Clay step in as a starter. Buff alo released Scott Chandler last week, and did not re-sign veteran backup Lee Smith, who has since signed with Oakland.Their departures left Buff alo with only two tight ends on the roster, Chris Gragg and Marqueis Gray, who appeared in fi ve games last season after the Bills claimed him off waivers.The Bills, coming off a 9-7 season, have already been busy upgrading an off ense that fi nished 26th in the league last season.Two weeks ago, Buff alo acquired running back LeSean McCoy in a trade with Philadelphia. On Friday, they agreed to sign free agent receiver Percy Harvin to a one-year contract.

Patriots Sign Former Bills TE ChandlerThe New England Patriots signed free agent Scott Chandler on Monday, bolstering an already strong tight end corps.Chandler, 29, has played in 75 games with 35 starts in his seven pro sea-sons. He spent the last fi ve years with the Bills and also has been with San Diego and Dallas.The 6-foot-7, 260-pound Chandler has 182 receptions for 2,120 yards and 17 touchdowns during his career. Last season, he made 47 catches for 497 yards and three touchdowns.He'll complement All-Pro Rob Gronkowski, the NFL Comeback Player of the Year in 2014, at the position.

CHAUTAUQUA STARFRIDAY, MARCH 20, 2015 35SPORTSAs Harvick Soars, Can Anyone Stop The Champion?

By Jenna FryerAP Auto Racing Writer

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- To the surprise of none, Kevin Harvick won at Phoenix.Now in a zone not seen in NASCAR in several years, Harvick and crew chief Rodney Childers head to California amid a looming question: Can anyone stop the No. 4 team?The only way Harvick was going to lose at Phoenix was if he or his Stewart-Haas Racing team made some sort of mistake that would derail the inevitable. It didn't happen, and he routed the field Sunday while grabbing his fourth consecutive win at the Ari-zona short track.It's part of a streak that dates back to last season, when Harvick grabbed his first Sprint Cup champion-ship. He's won five of the last 10 races, two straight this season, and has seven consecutive top-two fin-ishes.His streak of top-two finishes is the longest since Hall of Famer Richard Petty did it during his 1975 championship season.So now the No. 4 teams heads to California look-ing to sweep this three-race West Coast swing.It's left his competitors awe-struck at the chemistry that team has created in just over one year. Harvick moved from Richard Chil-dress Racing to SHR after the 2013 season, and he and Childers sent a message to the entire garage area that December in their first test together when they were head-and-shoulders better than the rest of the field.

''I remember the days when Jeff Gordon won 13 races in a year. I remember watching every week, it was incredible,'' said Jamie McMurray, runner-up to Harvick at Phoenix.''I think our sport is much tougher now to do that. I remember when the 4 car unloaded at the Charlotte test last year, first lap on the track he was literally the fastest car. For a year it's been that way.''There have been other streaks in recent memory that rival Harvick: Tony Stewart won five of 10 Chase races in 2011; Jim-mie Johnson won four straight Chase races in 2007, a run that rivaled his four wins in five races

in 2004, when he fell eight points shy of his first title; and Gordon in 1998, when he won 13 times and fin-ished first or second in 15 of the final 19 events.So drivers do indeed cycle to the top of the Sprint Cup Series, and only Johnson, with five consecutive titles, has been able to maintain his grip as the best in NAS-CAR for any considerable length of time.But until SHR shifts into R&D mode to prepare Harvick for the season-ending 10-race Chase for the championship, there's no indication he can be stopped anytime soon.If there was going to be a serious challenge, though, it would likely come from one

of these drivers:-JOEY LOGANO: The Daytona 500 winner is so far this season the only driver able to keep pace with Harvick. He has top-10 finishes in all four races and has started on the front row three times. He knew it was going to be tough to keep up with Harvick at Phoenix, where he led 35 laps but finished eighth.He's pretty good at Cali-fornia - remember, he was racing for the win against Denny Hamlin in 2013 when their accident left Hamlin with a broken back - and Team Penske is thought to have the best set-ups for grip in the garage.-BRAD KESELOWSKI: The 2012 NASCAR cham-pion was neck and neck with Harvick last year, and might have given Harvick a run for the title had he qualified for the champion-ship round. His team has not shown the same muscle yet this season as Penske teammate Logano, but the No. 2 does not appear to be that far off.Add in Keselowski's relent-less drive, and it's hard to believe he won't push the entire Penske organization to close the gap on Har-vick.-JEFF GORDON: The four-time NASCAR cham-pion is coming off one of his finest seasons in several years, and many believe he would have won the cham-pionship if he had not been eliminated from contention with Harvick's win at Phoe-nix last November.Set to retire at the end of the season, he's made it clear he wants to go out on top. Although his results haven't come yet through

the first month of the season, he can't be counted out. Plus, his Hendrick Motorsports team uses the same chassis and engine package that Harvick gets at SHR.-JIMMIE JOHNSON: Never count out the six-time champion or his crew chief Chad Knaus, who many believe are the model for Harvick and Childers.Johnson is regarded as the most balanced, all-around driver in the field; like Gordon has the same chas-sis ad engine package as Harvick; and already has a win this season. That vic-tory at Atlanta gives Knaus breathing room and time to make a plan for the Chase. The No. 48 team can take risks and have some fun the next few months, then turn attention to preparing for the final 10.-KYLE BUSCH: Obvious-ly, Busch won't stop Har-vick this year. He's sidelined with a broken right leg and broken left foot suffered in a Feb. 21 crash at Daytona.But, if were in the car, he'd be one of the guys to eventually challenge Harvick. Regarded as one of the fastest drivers in the field, Busch is also one of the only drivers who has consistently beaten Harvick in Xfinity Series competi-tion over the years.NASCAR's 2015 rules have given the Cup cars an engine and aero package that is more similar to the Xfinity Series, which would give Busch a comfortable feel that could play to his advantage.

Bills Sign Former Miami TE Clay To Offer Sheet

downs in 58 games.At 6-foot-3, and 255 pounds, Clay has the prototypical size and catching ability of a tight end that would fit the run- and short-pass oriented offense the Bills are introducing under new coach Rex Ryan and offensive coordi-nator Greg Roman.The Bills have already opened room on their roster to have Clay step in as a starter. Buffalo released Scott Chandler last week, and did not re-sign veteran backup Lee Smith, who has since signed with Oakland.Their departures left Buffalo with only two tight ends on the roster, Chris Gragg and Marqueis Gray, who appeared in five games last season after the Bills claimed him off waivers.The Bills, coming off a 9-7 season, have already been busy upgrading an offense that finished 26th in the league last season.Two weeks ago, Buffalo acquired running back LeSean McCoy in a trade with Philadelphia. On Friday, they agreed to sign free agent receiver Percy Harvin to a one-year contract.

Patriots Sign Former Bills TE ChandlerThe New England Patriots signed free agent Scott Chandler on Monday, bolstering an already strong tight end corps.Chandler, 29, has played in 75 games with 35 starts in his seven pro sea-sons. He spent the last five years with the Bills and also has been with San Diego and Dallas.The 6-foot-7, 260-pound Chandler has 182 receptions for 2,120 yards and 17 touchdowns during his career. Last season, he made 47 catches for 497 yards and three touchdowns.He'll complement All-Pro Rob Gronkowski, the NFL Comeback Player of the Year in 2014, at the position.

Rory McIlroy Rules On A PGA Tour Where Talent Runs DeepBy Doug FergusonAP Sports Writer

The PGA Tour hasn't seen this kind of parity in two decades.Jordan Spieth won the Valspar Championship last week at Innisbrook to become the 18th winner in 18 tournaments this season. The last time the PGA Tour went this deep before it had a multiple winner was in 1994 with Nick Price, whose second win came at Colonial in the 21st event of the season.Price went on to win six times that year, includ-ing consecutive majors at the British Open and PGA Championship, and finally got to a No. 1 ranking.Rory McIlroy already is there, and it's hard to imagine anyone replacing him this year.That won't make it any easier for Boy Wonder to pile up victories.The competition seems to be everywhere these days, even if McIlroy is just starting the PGA Tour portion of his schedule.Bubba Watson already has two Masters and a World Golf Championship, and he cannot be overlooked at Augusta National next month when he goes for a third green jacket in four years. Jack Nicklaus is the only other player to win that many in such a short stretch.Jason Day, already a winner at Torrey Pines this year, is healthy and working harder than ever. He has been at Bay Hill for two days this week, spent Tuesday afternoon in the hot sun with a towel wrapped around his chest and under his arms during a chipping drill. He tried to land his pitch shots on a tube of lip balm placed about 25 feet away and nailed it on the sixth try.The 21-year-old Spieth, in his third season, already has amassed more than $10 million for his career and picked up his second PGA Tour

title (fourth worldwide). Brooks Koepka won against a strong field in Turkey and Phoenix. Dustin Johnson, after sitting out for six months, lost in a playoff at Riviera and won the World Golf Championship at Doral in a span of three weeks. Koepka and Johnson are examples of how much more athletic golf looks now.The next generation — the group now faced with challenging McIlroy — grew up watch-ing Tiger Woods outclass his competition. They were, in effect, trained by Tiger. They are hun-gry. And they are not intimidated by anything or anyone.Patrick Reed went so far as to dress like Woods, with black pants and a red shirt on Sunday. The 25-year-old Reed already has won four times, and he even showed the kind of fight that would have impressed his golfing hero in the playoff at Innisbrook when he twice turned impossible shots into pars until Spieth beat him with a 30-foot birdie.Reed spoke late last year about the influence Woods had on him.

"He was so much better than anyone else at the time," Reed said. "With my growing up and watching it, I tried to copy his mental strength. ... You could see it just by looking at him in the eye. If looks could kill you, he would literally kill you. He was so focused and determined to play well. And that's what I'm trying to do."Matt Every, who picked up his first PGA Tour win last year in the Arnold Palmer Invitational, is in his fifth year on tour and already has no-ticed how much harder it is to win because of so many possibilities every week."When I first got out here, about 20 percent of guys were in shape. Now it's 80 percent," Every said. "You hardly ever see a young looking sloppy."Whether this great depth is a detriment to golf is the question.It's easy to say that golf needs a dominant player because it had one for some 15 years. Even when Price went on his great run in 1994, he shared the stage with Nick Faldo and Greg Norman. Ernie Els and Phil Mickelson were the rising stars.Woods didn't have a rival. He had rivals, a revolving door of them for a decade, from Els to David Duval, from Mickelson to Vijay Singh.McIlroy isn't as dominant as Woods, at least not yet.There is no argument who is the best player in golf. And it's not because of the world ranking but because McIlroy won the British Open and PGA Championship in a span of four weeks and joined Nicklaus, Woods and Bobby Jones as the only players in the last century to win four majors by age 25. These things don't happen by accident.For now, the one comparison McIlroy has with Woods is trying to settle on a rival.There are more options now.

Lake Erie Fishing HotlineContributed ArticleNYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation

The Lake Erie tributaries are still mostly frozen over. There is some open water on Cattaraugus Creek at the Springville Dam and in Gowan-da, as well as some small patches in the upper sections of smaller tribu-taries. However, waters are off color at present. The forecasted warm-ing daytime temperatures and rain will continue to open the streams back up. Cattaraugus Creek is the best steelhead option if conditions permit. Considering the long, harsh winter, the smaller tributaries may be mostly void of steelhead at pres-ent, and an infl ux of fresh fi sh may not happen until the ice clears out. For those new to steelhead fi shing, see the Steelhead Fishing in Lake Erie Tributaries page for informa-tion on steelhead fi shing equipment, locations and links to stream maps.Dunkirk HarborIce is deteriorating in Dunkirk Har-bor and the area surrounding the city pier is now open water. Anglers can target brown trout and steel-head from the pier or DEC fi shing platform by casting spoons, spinners and jigs, or fi shing live minnows or egg sacs under a fl oat.Ice FishingThe main ice sheets on the inland lakes are still thick and holding up well. However, ice will get thin-ner with each passing day. Anglers should stay away from stream inlets/outlets and pressure cracks. Shore-line areas will also thaw at a faster rate. Before you head out on the ice,

remember that a minimum of 3 to 4 inches of solid ice (blue or black, not white) is the general rule for safety, for individuals on foot. Five inches of solid ice is more suitable for small groups fi shing together. Drilling holes or tapping with a spud bar to check ice thickness is recommended on your way out, or when moving around. Safety ice picks, boot cleats, throw rope and a fl oatation device are recommended safety supplies. Use good judgment and fi sh with a friend when possible. Those new to ice fi shing can check the Ice Fishing Basics page for more information. See the Lake Contour Maps page for maps organized by county.Barcelona HarborThe harbor has good ice of around 8 inches or more. The trout fi shing has slowed a bit, but anglers have recently caught some steelhead and brown trout through the ice. Try jig-ging with spoons tipped with wax-worms or piece of minnow. Tip-ups with shiners are also worth a shot.Chautauqua LakeThe ice on Chautauqua Lake is still plenty thick, with minimal slop on top. Sunday, March 15th will be the last chance to target wall-eye for the season (will re-open on May 3). Most of the recent walleye action has been in the north basin at depths of 25-35 feet of water. However, walleye can also be caught in shallower areas during late season as they move into these zones as the spawning period approaches. Targeting waters a safe distance off creek inlets can pay off . Traditional areas include Dewittville Bay, off Prendergast and Ashville Bay.
