Star Special FeatureRevitalize Dunkirk

It’s time to banish winter and think spring! Area resi-dents interested in brighten-ing up the heart of down-town Dunkirk are invited to help provide colorfully planted hanging baskets for Central Avenue this year. The all-volunteer Beauti-fi cation Committee of Re-vitalize Dunkirk is raising money to buy heavy-duty, black, steel-framed hanging fl ower baskets to be planted and hung from all 21 lamp-posts lining the two blocks of Central Avenue between 3rd and 5th streets, in front of the U.S. Post Offi ce and City Hall.The community improve-ment group originally planned to provide sidewalk planters for this area, but after discussions with City of Dunkirk elected offi cials and employees at a Febru-ary meeting proposed by Mayor A.J. Dolce to fa-

cilitate the project, hanging baskets quickly emerged as a better alternative.“The sidewalks simply are not wide enough in most places for large, streetscape planters,” explains com-mittee member Mary Rees. “When Common Coun-cil member Willie Rosas suggested hanging baskets instead, Department of

Public Works Director Tony Gugino volunteered that the City has the necessary brackets in storage and can hang them wherever neces-sary with reasonable notice. So we changed focus and have a new plan we’re ex-cited about.”The baskets are on order and should arrive at a local greenhouse within the next

two weeks for planting, to be ready for outdoor hang-ing by early June. “Our group believes that a color-ful display of fl owers along the busiest part of the city’s main thoroughfare will make Dunkirk more attrac-tive and welcoming for both residents and visitors,” Rees adds.

As many of our readers know, there has been a weekly commentary by myself in this location of our paper for quite some time. Recently, maybe about a month ago, I forewent the writing of this piece in favor of putting some news in this location. The feedback, however, has been overwhelm-ing.As a man of strong con-victions, I have often found myself sure of my stance on various subjects. That surety is not in question. What I have questioned, how-

ever, is my portrayal of it.Our paper is noted for its positive, community news. We’ve always avoided the hot topics, opting instead to pro-vide information that we feel our residents need to know to be involved in the many great and wonderful things our county has to offer. Through this piece, which I’ve always had free reign on, I have often tested the limits of journalistic integ-rity. My pieces were not written from an objective standpoint, rather from a place of opinion. That was their nature. Our readers understood it, I under-stood it.Over time, though, it became apparent to me my opinions were stronger than needed. I read many news sources, most conser-vative in nature but some from a gamut of stances. In those, I find

the ones that are espe-cially divisive put a foul taste in my mouth. What I’m learning, readers, is that one can have an opinion with-out the goal of divisive-ness. Some may have notices that I have stopped writing my button-pushing commentaries. It’s not from a lack of confidence, or because of a change in convic-tions. No, I’m more convinced than ever about the things I stand for and believe in. Rather, it’s from a place of humility.I’ve learned that many, many people in this county read this paper, and this article. The feedback from my lack of writing has been humbling, to say the least. But, I think our county has had enough division over the years. If we’re going to move ahead – to forge a place that we’re proud to raise families and live and work and

play, we’ve got to do it together.Some may feel I am ‘wimping out,’ but that’s not the case at all. I’m opting to take the higher road. This platform has given me great liberty to use the mighty pen, and I don’t wish to abuse that responsibility.So stay tuned friends. Our paper is gearing up for the summer, and we’re looking forward to delving into a new season of faith, enter-tainment, sports and everything else the Chautauqua Star is proud to offer. Thanks for reading!

Consulting with neighboring communi-ties which have long-standing and successful downtown hanging basket programs, the Dunkirk volunteers learned that it can cost $90 or more per basket each year for new planting and seasonal maintenance such as daily watering and weekly fertilizing. This year’s start-up costs

will be more, since the reusable basket frames and liners must be pur-chased, as well.Donations for this beautification project are being accepted in a fund set up specifi-cally for this purpose at Northern Chau-tauqua Community Foundation (NCCF). To contribute, make checks payable to NCCF—Revitalize

Dunkirk and direct donations to Revitalize Dunkirk Beautification Project, c/o NCCF, 212 Lake Shore Drive W., Dunkirk, NY 14048.Revitalize Dunkirk is a group of concerned area residents who meet monthly to discuss and work on ways to improve quality of life in our community.

By Katy WiseContributing Writer

It’s almost time to hide Eas-ter eggs and break out the jelly beans! And along with this come Easter crafts.This morning, the boys and I tried an Easter project that I’ve had in mind for a while. In my head, it was an excel-lent toddler project.Not too messy, simple direc-tions, easy preparation and cleanup. Well… Let’s just say that either I had a lapse in my judgment, I was too impa-tient, or the boys were just extra un-cooperative today.I’m just being honest. Every once in awhile, you plan something that involves kids and it goes nothing like how you imagined it would.Surely, I am not alone in this.This morning was an op-portunity for me to learn patience all over again. Sometimes I think us par-ents, caretakers, adults, (hu-mans??) get in the mindset that we are already patient in most situations and there-fore don’t need to work on it anymore.In general, I’m a pretty laid back parent. Until I try to do a structured craft with my toddlers who have other ideas in mind, apparently.It all started when I put An-drew in the highchair and didn’t give him food. At 21 months old, he pretty much makes the assumption that if he’s in there, I’m about to fi ll his tummy.

Not put paper and a glue stick in front of him.He would rather do things like this: eat cheddar bunny snacks off of the playroom fl oor like a dog. Yes, he learned this from our dog, Brutus.Joshua started out excited about this craft, until his brother got a snack once he fi nished his craft and Joshua was still working on his.Looking back on this whole thing, maybe the moral of the story is not to do crafts with hungry children.But it’s too late to have that kind of revelation now. At least for me. If you want to try this craft with freshly fed little people, please let me know how it goes.You will need scrapbook paper, at least two sheets of white paper, scissors, and a glue stick.Cut your scrapbook paper into strips of paper, no lon-ger than the width of your white paper. If you want a similar look to our example, you will want to make sure to cut both patterned paper and solid colors.Glue onto 1 sheet of white

paper, overlapping the paper strips as you go. Once all your strips of paper have been glued, you can cut a simple shape out of your other piece of white paper.We decided to do an egg and a bunny, but you could also do a bunny for each child with their name and the year or any other simple shape you can think of. To make the silhouette shapes, we folded our paper in half and cut out half of the shape to make sure that they were symmetrical on either side.You may want to practice with the bunny shape before cutting it for good though, our fi rst one came out pretty chubby and it bore a closer resemblance to a snowman than a bunny.Glue white paper on top to reveal silhouette, and you’re done!You can use this idea to make Easter cards for friends and family, or frame them and keep them as Easter décor for years to come.Happy crafting from HBK! And as always, thanks for reading!!

Arundel Cellars & Brewing Co. will conduct its grand opening on Saturday, April 11, from 1 to 4 p.m. at 11727 E. Main Road (Rt. 20), in North East, PA.Headquartered in a beauti-fully restored 19th century barn nestled among the vineyards of scenic North East, Arundel Cellars & Brewing Co. enjoys the unique position of being the first winery in the area offering both premium wine and craft beer. Together, the Arundel family has more than 100 years of combined grape-growing and wine-making experience.“We’re excited to offi-cially open our doors to our community,” says Charles Rahal, Arundel Partner and

longtime North East grape grower. “All of the fruit used in our products is carefully selected to assure quality from the vineyard to the bottle.” “The entire Arundel team is proud to be offering both award-winning wines and delicious craft beer,” adds Lauri Boettcher, Arundel Partner and Winemaker. “We’ve been thrilled by the outpouring of community support thus far and look forward to introducing our products to even more of our neighbors at our grand opening.”“We’ll have traditional, hoppy ales on tap for loyal craft beer fans as well as lighter, crisp brews for those who are new to the world of craft beer,” says Arundel Partner Evan Boettcher, Brewmaster. “Whether it’s a dark rich Porter or a smooth

American Ale, there will be something for every palate.” Grand opening guests will have the opportunity to taste Arundel Cellars wine and

beer, enjoy light refresh-ments, and meet the entire Arundel family on April 11. The Katie Kurpiewski & Rob Vance acoustic duo

CASA (Court Appoint-ed Special Advocates) of Chautauqua County, Inc. announces its’ seventh annual Come to the Table fundrais-ing event. This year’s event will be held on May 7, 2015 at Chau-tauqua Suites Meeting and Expo Center in Mayville. Doors open at 5:00 p.m. and the live action starts at 7:00 p.m. Admission to the event is $10 and includes live, acoustic entertainment from past Chautauqua Lake Voices runner-up Cindy Haight, light refreshments, and a chance to win an iPad Mini. Ticket buyers need not be present to win. Tables are decorated with a unique theme that event attendees can bid on to support CASA of Chautauqua County. Come to the Table provides excep-tional visibility and recognition for indi-viduals and businesses

that create and sponsor tables for the event.Those who wish to be-come a table designer may solicit sponsors for their table entry or be sponsors them-selves. Often teams are formed between local businesses and CASA supporters to create beautiful table designs. All sponsors and exhibitors will re-ceive recognition at the event. This is a great way to advertise for your business or craft. Table designs are a tax-deductible donation, and all proceeds benefit CASA.Current Come to the Table sponsors rep-resenting financial support include: Fes-senden, Laumer and DeAngelo Attorneys at Law, Lind Funeral Home, Slone Melhuish Insurance Agency and WCA Care and Share.Court Appointed Special Advocates of Chautauqua County, Inc. relies on highly trained volunteers who are appointed by the Chautauqua County

Family Court judge to advocate for chil-dren in court. These volunteers work with relevant agencies and parties in order to advocate for the best interest of the child. CASA volunteers also speak with involved attorneys and case-workers acting as an advocate for the child. With the information provided by the CASA volunteer, family court judges are better able to make informed deci-sions as to what is best for the child, whether it be returning to their parents, foster care, or adoption. Research shows that children who have been assigned a CASA vol-unteer are substantially less likely to spend time in long-term foster care and half as likely to re-enter care. Children with a CASA volunteer also do better in school and score well on pro-tective factors scales. Because of increased foster care admissions, approximately only one in four abused or neglected children in

our service area cur-rently has an assigned advocate. Monies raised from Come to the Table are used to fulfill CASA’s mission of supporting and pro-moting court-appointed volunteer advocacy for abused and neglected children so that they can thrive in safe, per-manent homes.For further informa-tion about becoming a sponsor, table designer, or to buy tickets for Come to the Table,

The public is in-vited to visit the exhibit any time that Reed Library is open.The university will also host several events throughout the dura-tion of the exhibit, and all are free and open to the public. The open-ing ceremony will take place on Wednesday, March 25. Fitzhugh Brundage, William B. Umstead Professor of History at the Univer-sity of North Carolina, will start off a month of discussions with his presentation, “The Civ-

il War Is Over!” in the Multipurpose Room of the Williams Center. An accomplished schol-ar, Dr. Brundage’s work includes “The Southern Past: A Clash of Race and Memory,” which has received multiple awards. He is also the recipient of a John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship. Following Brundage’s presenta-tion, The Excelsior Cornet Band, New York State’s only au-thentic Civil War brass band, will enlighten, educate, and entertain the audience using an-tique instruments that date back to the 1860s. Refreshments will be served and doors open at 6:30 p.m.Mark Dunkelman, regimental historian of the 154th New York Volunteer Infantry, will discuss “Lincoln through the Eyes of a Civil War Regiment” on Wednesday, April 8 at 7 p.m. in Williams Center Room S204.

He is the author of, “The Hardtack Regi-ment: An Illustrated History of the 154th Regiment, New York State Infantry Volun-teers,” with Michael J. Winey. Interested parties can learn more about his work at http://www.hardtack-regiment.com/.A group of Civil War reenactors will encamp on the Fredonia cam-pus from the evening of Thursday, April 9 through Sunday, April 12.

Rev. Michael LokietekFamily Church Fredoniafcfredonia.org

Dear Pastor, I pray all the time but it seems that my prayers don’t get answered. Am I doing something wrong?

Keeping the Faith has previously addressed a question regarding whether prayer actually works. While summing up the response with an “absolutely, yes!”, we showed that it is God’s will that if you ask any-thing of Him, He will give it to you (Matthew 7:7-11). Why? Because He’s a loving Father Who desires to bless His children! We can give several examples from the Old and New Testament where God answered prayers for many things including spiritual strengthen-ing (Acts 4:31), natural needs like food (1 Kings 17:14), and healing (Acts 3:2-8). In light of these examples that do show that God answer prayers, your question

can then be phrased as…”If God answers prayers, why not me?” Over the next few col-umns we’ll be discuss-ing those things that can get in the way or hinder our prayers. The fi rst hindrance to prayer may be that you’re praying outside of God’s will. In the Book of James, the Apostle James was chiding Christians re-garding strife and bad behavior. In verse 4:3 in the Amplifi ed Bible Version, he said, “You do ask (God for them) and yet fail to receive, because you ask with wrong purpose and evil, selfi sh motives. Your intention is (when you get what you desire) to spend it on sensual pleasures.” God can’t

answer prayers that go against His will and still be God. Anything that doesn’t line up with the Word violates His will! We see this in 1 John 5:14-15, “Now this is the confi dence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.” When-ever we go to God, we need to go with a clean heart and be willing to line up with His Word. How do we ensure this? First, we can ask God to reveal any wrong motives that we are harboring. Wrong thinking may cloud our judgment

and impact our prayer attitude. Then, if God has shown us any areas that need address-ing, we can ask His forgiveness and adjust our thinking and our

prayers to make sure that we line up with His will. Next week…more on prayer hindrances.

The Robert H. Jackson Center has put out a call for area Korean War veterans wishing to record their wartime experiences as part of the Defenders of Freedom Project. The project is an ongoing oral history initiative that seeks to capture on video and share the fi rst-hand experiences of veterans from West-ern NY and Northwest-ern PA. Hosted and fi lmed at the Jackson Center in Jamestown NY, the project is a collaborative eff ort between the Jackson Center, the United Vet-erans Council and the

Chautauqua County Offi ce of Veterans Services.Underway in many parts of the United States, oral history ini-tiatives seek to capture and share the stories of veterans. The stories gathered through the Defenders of Free-dom Project are the voices of area veterans who helped shape the history of the world. Launched in late 2013 the project has recorded and preserved over 100 WWII veterans’ interviews. The inter-views have been made available to family and friends of the veterans and cataloged in the project’s archives for future educational and research purposes.

Many of the interviews are now available on the Robert H. Jack-son Center’s Youtube channel and more information about the project can be found on the Center’s website at www.roberthjackson.org .As the Defenders of Freedom project ex-pands to include Kore-an War veterans please contact Phil Zimmer, volunteer coordinator, at 716-665-4034 or [email protected] if you have an interest in being part of this process.

Audubon Center and Sanctuary

The Audubon Nature Cen-ter is looking for volunteers with a love of nature to lead Discovery Walks with stu-dents from local schools.“Our trail guides are so generous in sharing their time and themselves for the important work of connect-ing children to nature,” said Nature Center Program Director Jennifer Schlick. “Without these critically important volunteers, we wouldn’t be able to accom-modate the more than 3,000 schoolchildren who visit ev-ery spring. And their impact lasts a LONG time!”On four Thursday mornings in April, the Nature Center’s education staff is presenting a training series for sea-

soned and new trail guides to learn what the Audubon Nature Center does, how to lead Discovery Walks, and some natural history. Experience with children is helpful, but natural history knowledge is not.The 10 a.m. to noon train-ing schedule is:April 9: Introduction Learn more about what the Nature Center does in the commu-nity, what a Discovery Walk consists of and go for a short walk around the building to learn about the beaver, Eagle and other things near the building.April 16: Going on the Trail – Learn what props are available for a Discovery Walk and go on a sample Discovery Walk to learn more about how they are led.April 23: Rain Plans – It’s

not often that rain forces the program to move inside, but there is a plan for when it happens. Learn how to lead indoor stations with stu-dents, then go on a sample Discovery Walk to learn other new techniques.April 30: Nature Hike – It’s always nice to learn a little natural history before leading students on a walk. Come learn some of what is happening outside on the trails at the beginning of the Discovery Walk season.Participants are reminded to dress for the weather as most of the program will be outdoors.To learn more about be-ing a volunteer trail guide, visit www.trailguidetraining.wordpress.com. Register is requested by the Monday before each session by calling (716) 569-2345 or

use the online form by click-ing through “Trail Guide Trainings” at www.james-townaudubon.org. Walk-ins will also be accepted. To learn more about Audu-bon field trips and how to schedule them, call (716) 569-2345 or visit www.audu-bonprograms.com/fieldtrips. Discovery Walks are funded in part through fees and through a grant from the Thomas H. Brown Fund administered by Chautau-qua Region Community Foundation.The Audubon Nature Center is at 1600 Riverside Road, one-quarter mile east of Route 62 between Jamestown, New York, and Warren, Pennsylvania. The Nature Center building, with its collection of live animals, interactive exhibits and the Blue Heron Gift

Shop, is open 10 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Monday-Saturday and 1-4:30 p.m. Sundays.

It’s Trail Guide Training Time at Audubon

The Audubon Nature Center needs the help of many volunteer trail guides to welcome more than 3,000 schoolchildren on field trips in the spring. On four Thursdays in April the Nature Center’s education staff will offer training for these critically important volunteers.

Jamestown Public Schools recently held a Fractions Progression Work-shop, which was made available to all teachers in third and fourth grade. JPS Instructional Coach, Chad Bongiovanni, and Math Co-ordinator, Denise Pusateri presented the workshop. In the workshop, teachers were introduced to the importance of us-ing visual models, like number lines and tape diagrams, to teach frac-tions to students. Teachers also saw the importance of what they teach in their specific grade level and how it is influenced by previous grades and will also lay a foundation for future fraction work. For example, in first and second grades, students work on the concept of half of an object, a third of an object, and a fourth of an object (fractions are not written, just drawn). By the time students

reach fourth grade, they must understand equivalent fractions, compare fractions, add and subtract fractions with the same denominator (or whole), multiply a fraction by a whole number.“Fractions have been identified as one of the major influences on a student’s ability to be successful in Algebra,” said Mrs. Pusateri. “Fractions often get a bad reputa-tion from people who had a difficult time understanding them when they were in school. Often people were taught the rules of fractions but not the, why? For example, if I were to ask someone how to divide fractions, they might say you multiply by the reciprocal or ‘Keep-change-flip.’ But why? And they will say because that is what a teacher told them. Fol-lowing this rule never gets students to the heart of fraction work. The approach stressed to the teachers in the workshop will help to develop better fraction understanding in their students.”

Teachers learned that the key for student understanding is that fractions are numbers too. In the classroom, students will have to use fractions in application problems like: The living room as dimensions of 17 1/2 feet by 15 3/4 feet. Deter-mine the area of the living room to

help the Smith family purchase new carpeting, using fractions in real-life applications.Fifth and sixth grade teachers also attended a similar fractions work-shop in November.

A committee of determined volunteers from various organizations that use and have concern for Chautauqua Lake and the Chadokoin River will be working together during the next year to create the fi rst Dragon Boat Festival in Chautauqua County. The committee is ex-cited to announce that the event will take place August 29, 2015 on Chautauqua Lake.

The Chautauqua Lake Dragon Boat Committee has made it their mission to raise funds for a healthier Chautauqua Lake by bringing economic impact to the community through a vibrant and unique event. In their efforts, they will fi nd new and creative ways to invite residents and tourists to explore and rediscover the natural resourc-es that abound our area.

The spectacle brings together community spirit, athleticism, team work and fortitude; all of which are needed to sustain the future of Chautauqua Lake. Dragon Boat racing in itself sparks a bit of curi-

osity in the minds of those who have an imagination and desire a competitive pursuit. A standard size dragon boat seats 20 paddlers in 10 rows with a steersperson standing in the stern to guide the boat, and a drummer in the bow to motivate the team to keep the paddlers in synch. These 22 people all work in unison to propel this 42’ long “canoe” down the race course.

Dragon Boating is not merely just a paddle sport, it goes far beyond a mere sports spectacle and embraces a rich and dynamic cultural fabric that has been observed uninterrupted for more than 25 centu-ries. The committee invites the community to join in this one of a kind experience to work together as a team, making a positive impact on the future of Chautauqua Lake.

For initial inquiries of the event, please contact Amber Grekalski at 661-3390.

20 CHAUTAUQUA STARFRIDAY, MARCH 27, 2015THIS GREAT COUNTY

By Daniel MeyerStar News Writer

Based on the west border of Cattaraugus County, the Town of Randolph is located roughly halfway between the City of Jamestown and City of Salamanca. Named after Randolph, Vermont, the region was fi rst settled around 1820. The Town of Randolph was formed in 1826 from part of the Town of Conewango. In 1847, Randolph was divided to form what became known as the Town of South Valley.The Village of Randolph became incorporated in 1867 and the Village of East Randolph became incorporated in 1881. Those two villages were later dissolved following 2010 referendums in which village residents from both municipalities voted in favor of eliminating their village governments and reverting back to being a hamlet.The concept of village dissolution has been a hot topic throughout Western New York for much of the past decades, with some communities voting to dissolve while others opposed the idea of eliminating their village government. For the people of Randolph, the acceptance of less government and a continued strong sense of community has resulted in no major debates over the elimination of the two villages.“Dissolving the villages was done to save money,” said Diane Mackey, who serves as Randolph’s town historian. “Everyone for the most part was on board with it when the votes were held and basically since then most everyone is pretty pleased, mainly because of the savings that was achieved. Services are still provided by the town government and eliminating that duplication of government has helped save money, which most everyone believes is great.”With approximately 2,700 residents, Randolph is a small and quaint town that prides itself on being a close-knit community populated by caring people.

“Everyone here is so helpful,” said Mackey, who moved with her husband from Las Vegas to Randolph in 2007. “Sometimes you hear people say that and don’t

really think much of it, but the Town of Randolph is full of people who go above and beyond for others. If any family fi nds themselves in need, someone nearby is ready to help them out. It really is a very caring community. The people here are magnifi cent.”Randolph hosts annual community gatherings that include an arts and crafts festival, a quilt show and “Randolph’s Country Christmas,” a two-day extrava-ganza that celebrates the holiday season. Set to take place this year on Friday, December 5 and Saturday, December 6, featured events include the dedication of a memory tree, a holiday parade and a community dinner. Other special happenings have included a colon cancer awareness walk and a showcase of the town’s lo-cally owned and operated businesses. Known as “March Into Randolph, the one-day celebration saw participating businesses present shoppers with a “passport” to be used to visit diff erent retail shops and boutiques and get their passport punched so that it can later be entered into a raffl e for a gift basket packed with goods from the participating businesses.The town is also home to the Randolph Central School District, which in addition to providing children with a quality educational experience also features some of the most competitive and successful interscholastic sports teams in not only the county but the entire state. Several teams have proudly represented their school and community as “Cardinals” and achieved great success, including last year’s varsity football team, which captured the 2013 New York State Class D champi-onship.“It’s tremendous to see the entire community rally around the really good sports teams from the high school,” said Mackey. “You just don’t see that in some places, but here in Randolph, the fans really get behind and support these kids. They appreciate how hard they play and practice and some of the pep rallies and community celebrations honoring them for their success have been just incredible to be a part of.”As part of the New York State Amish Trail, the Town of Randolph is often frequented by tourists who enjoy spending time at the unique shops and restaurants in the quaint historic central business district. Nestled in the Enchanted Mountains of Cattaraugus County right next to Chautauqua County, town offi cials are

regularly complimented by visitors for being a simple, peaceful and welcoming community.“The kind words we receive from people who are passing through or stop by for a bit are outstand-ing,” said Mackey. “From someone who has not lived here for very long, I can honestly tell you it is

By Brad JarrettContributing Writer

Brad Jarrett is a youth and adult fitness coach, and the owner of the F.I.T. Project. He is an after school youth fitness program and personal trainer. For comments on this article, or questions, email [email protected] the past few weeks I’ve been blessed with opportuni-ties to consult three college age students. Consults are always mean-ingful. Talking, sharing and connecting with new clients is one of the perks of per-sonal training. Something special comes about every time we sit back and listen to another person’s life story, as it unfolds before us. These were no different; amazing stories were told, sharing took place, and a connection was made.Yet, there was something unusual. A pattern was revealed. It was consistent between the three, but un-like consults of the past.As we dug deep to find each client’s true motivation, it was uncovered… It is deep seeded and alarming.Once we maneuvered through the surface level an-swers, these students began to expose what is truly push-ing them to start a new gym

routine. The answer may surprise you.Was it the desire to…Look better in a bathing suit?Fit into a smaller pair of jeans?Look better for a boyfriend/girlfriend?No. No… And no.All three students confessed; they are SCARED to become overweight because their parents or role model is overweight.That answer threw me for a loop.FEAR is driving their fit-ness. Even worse, the fear has been instilled through our actions as parents and role models.We must come to the real-ization; our actions affect others, and the way we live influences those around us. Now, I understand this fear IS bringing kids to the gym; based on that reasoning it may seem healthy.But think about this; do you enjoy doing things when motivated by fear?Put another way; remember your list of chores as a child? Did you enjoy doing them? Or did you feel forced to simply because you feared the inevitable spanking that would take place if you didn’t?In my case, I can tell you I washed a million dishes to avoid a spanking. And now, as I write this article, I have a PILE of dishes sitting in my sink because I HATE washing them.This same reasoning ap-plies to our fitness. If we feel forced to come to the gym,

we learn to resent it. At this point fitness becomes a chore.Chores become short term habits instead of long term solutions. The problem with short habits is in the name. They are SHORT term, meaning they often times lead to failure. In this way, students are walking them-selves into a self-fulfilling prophecy. The fear of being overweight, may lead them to become overweight.How do we end this cycle?We change OURSELVES!No one likes to hear those words, but we must remem-ber, LIFE IS NOT ABOUT YOU. It only starts with you, since YOU have the responsibility to consistently sew good seed into your children.We must examine ourselves. Look at the person you see in the mirror and ask the

humbling question; what kind of EXAMPLE am I setting?The answer will be different for all of us, and that’s okay! I promise you one thing; we all have work to do. The good news is…IT STARTS NOW!Pick one of these 3 actions and complete it THIS WEEK. If you wait to begin, your probability of imple-mentation decreases. So TAKE ACTION!!Find a NEW healthy recipe to cook for your family once a week, each week of the month. Next month pick a new recipe.Set aside 30 minutes three times per week to be ac-tive with your family. It doesn’t have to be anything extravagant- any active action works, the time with your family is what makes it special.

Decrease the amount of time you spend watching TV by 10 minutes this week. Next week take away another 10 minutes. This one is simple, but it has a huge impact.Remember; LITTLE changes breed BIG results.

If you had cancer, would you want to hear that diagnosis from your doctor? A new report from the Alzheimer’s Association fi nds that just 45 percent of people with Alzheimer’s disease, or their care partners, say their doctor disclosed that diagnosis.The Alzheimer’s Association 2015 Alzheimer’s Disease Facts and Figures report, released today, found that only 45 percent of people with Alzheim-er’s disease say they or their caregiver were told the diagnosis by their doc-tor. In contrast, more than 90 percent of people with the four most common cancers (breast, colorectal, lung and prostate cancer) say they were given the diagnosis.“Alzheimer’s is a fatal disease that requires planning, treatment and a signifi cant commitment of caregiver time, as well as a fi nancial investment from personal and governmental resources,” says Leilani Pelletier, execu-tive director of the Western New York Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Associa-tion. “The diagnostic process can be complicated and time consuming, and the diagnosis is a very diffi cult one to deliver. I’ve spoken with countless people who are being treated for the disease but say they never actually heard the word Alzheimer’s from their doctor. My advice for people in that situation is this: the next time you see your doctor, ask specifi cally what disease is causing the symptoms.”

The WNY Chapter provides a number of resources for those with any form of dementia and their care partners, including care consultations, educa-tional programs and support groups. The offi ce is located at 2805 Wehrle Drive in Williamsville, and those with questions are welcome to stop in any business day from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.Across WNY, it is estimated that some 55,000 residents live with the disease, and approximately 165,000 family or friends provide some form of unpaid care for them. In addition to the societal impact, the fi nancial impact is staggering: the cost of care covered by Medicare and Medicaid across the U.S. this year alone will top $153 BILLION.The new Alzheimer’s Association report also reiterates that the disease is the 6th leading cause of death in the United States, that approximately one-half of all seniors aged 65 or older will develop Alzheimer’s this year, and that it is the only cause of death in the top 10 that cannot be prevented, slowed or cured.

March has been deemed National Nutrition Month® for over 40 years. In 2015 the American Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (AAND) sponsored mes-sage is, Bite into a Healthy Lifestyle®, encouraging con-sumers to make eating right a lifelong commitment. But what does that really mean? And how? Eating right should become part of your everyday behav-ior. 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 brushing your teeth. Every day. At least twice a day. A true habit. That is how intui-tive and engrained into your life healthy eating choices should be. Eating healthy becomes your lifestyle. The groceries 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 choos-emyplate.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 overeatMake half your plate veg-etables 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 missedReplace sugary drinks with

no-calorie drinks – skip the soda and fancy latte; instead drink water with lemon or unsweetened 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) system will work better, you will better manage your weight and have more energy, and more generally a healthy diet prevents many chronic con-ditions (such as high blood pressure, diabetes, osteopo-rosis and some cancers) and helps manage them if you have them. If that doesn’t resonate, do it for your van-ity. Do it for your family, 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 example for my children. Next, start with small tan-gible 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 nutri-tion information? Go to eatright.org or choosemy-plate.gov.

What A RideJCC WOMEN'S BASKETBALL ENJOYED A SEASON TO REMEMBER IN 2014-15

By Erik TingueStar Reporter

At the beginning of the season, head coach George Sisson was nervous about his women’s basketball team at Jamestown Community College because of the low number of girls he had starting off the season. He had just nine players. “It wasn’t about the size of the team,” Sisson noted. “It was about the size of the fi ghting in the team.” Thankfully, more girls ended up joining the team late and Sisson was thrilled with how this group of girls came together by understanding their individual roles, fi nding their strengths, being competitive and playing to that. Sisson noted that the camaraderie between the girls was one of the main reasons his team was successful — the girls had an outstanding season with a record of 23-6 and advanced all the way to the Region III Division II tournament at Monroe Commu-nity College. The season ended when the Jayhawks suff ered a heart-break-ing loss to Mercyhurst North East. To the young women as well as Sis-son, the game of basketball means more to them than just wins and losses despite the amount of success they have had this past season. Sisson coaches his team to be great athletes, but he also wants his play-ers to enjoy what they’re doing, have fun with the game and apply what he teaches them to their own future and life. Elle Reed, a graduating sophomore and one of the captains from this

year’s women’s basketball team, raved when discussing Sisson. “Me and the girls would always joke around with Sisson before and after practice by taking funny pictures with him and laughing with him,” Reed said. “But when practice start-ed, he meant business. But he’s just in general a great and crazy guy.” Akiah Luceus, another graduating sophomore who was also a captain from this year’s women’s basketball team also chimed in.“I grew up in New York City and I was always an underdog in high school,” Luceus said, “which moti-vated me to prove that I’m the best.” Luceus also explained how basket-ball has helped her get through life problems outside of basketball and how it continues to help her keep her composure. What keeps these girls close is that

they do everything as a team. They describe themselves as a family and they’re with each other nearly every day. Eating together. Talking to-gether. Helping each other through personal problems. They’ve truly become like a group of sisters. “We come from diff erent areas all over and we’re so diff erent,” Reed added. “But that’s what brings us so close because as diff erent as we are, we’re the same in many ways.” Basketball really brings out the best in these girls as they use the sport to their advantage and don’t take any-thing for granted. They realize what a unique bond they have, how lucky they are to have a great coach and they exploit the opportunity to better themselves.One of the great memories from the season that all the girls and Sisson

Bills Are AFC East's Best Team (On Paper)

BILLS ARE AFC EAST'S BEST TEAM, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 26

Bills Are AFC East's Best Team (On Paper)

The Miami Dolphins made all kinds of noise this offseason, turning over their roster and adding the No. 1 free agent in Ndamukong Suh. Yet, despite the fact that they haven’t made the playoffs since the Music City Miracle, I’m here to say that the Buffalo Bills have the best team in the AFC East — on paper, any-way.Please don’t throw this paper in the trash. When the thought first popped into my head, I thought I was crazy. There’s no way that the Buffalo Bills are the league’s best anything, right? I mean, they’re the Bills. But let’s dig deeper into this argu-ment. I was planning on comparing positions with Miami, New England and Buffalo, but after further review, the Dolphins don’t scare me at all. Yes, Cameron Wake and Suh will form a beastly defensive line, but this doesn’t appear to be a team on the cusp of winning any Super Bowls. And the New York Jets? Well, they’re still very much the New York Jets.So it’s the Bills and the Patriots. I am in no way saying that the Bills are going to win the division here, but the roster they’ve put together is indeed impressive. Also, note that this is well before the draft and even before free agency is over. Things will change, but it’s still fun to speculate.QUARTERBACK: Tom Brady (Patriots) vs. Matt Cassel/E.J. Manuel (Bills) — I figure I might as well start with the one position that tips the scales so much in New England’s favor that I’ll have to dig myself out of a hole. There’s really no need to expand on this. Brady is a first-ballot Hall of Fame quar-terback. He might just be the best quarterback ever. The duo of Cassel and Manuel might surprise some folks, but it’s still among the bottom half of the league at the position…maybe even bottom third. ADVAN-TAGE: Patriots.RUNNING BACK: Jonas Gray, Brandon Bolden (Patriots) vs. LeSean McCoy, Fred Jackson

(Bills) — It remains to be seen if Buffalo can use McCoy like the weapon that he is. The Bills had a similar player in C.J. Spiller for years and never really got him on track. This offense is going to look very different from last season, though, and McCoy should be at the center of it. He’s a top-3 back in the league. Gray had a couple of mon-ster games, but also found himself riding the pine a lot. If anyone can ever make sense of New England’s backfield, please let me know. AD-VANTAGE: Bills.WIDE RECEIVER: Brandon LaFell, Julian Edelman, Danny Amendola (Patriots) vs. Sammy Watkins, Percy Harvin, Robert Woods (Bills) — Not to be hyper-bolic, but the Bills’ receivers are so much better than the Patriots’ trio that it’s possible that even Woods would be the No. 1 option for the Pats. Watkins has the potential to be one of the scariest players in the league. He has freakish skills and can break a play any time the ball is in his hands. Harvin is a smaller player, but has still shown that he can be nearly impossible to tackle in the open field. Woods is as solid as they come. He should torch oppos-ing teams’ third cornerbacks. As for New England, LaFell was much

better with Brady than he ever was with Cam Newton in Carolina, but LaFell as a No. 1 option is pretty sad. Although, wide receivers aren’t exactly Brady’s first option. AD-VANTAGE: Bills.TIGHT END: Rob Gronkowski, Scott Chandler (Patriots) vs. Charles Clay, Chris Gragg (Bills) — I hope I’m wrong about Clay. I really do. In my opinion, the Bills just gave superstar money to a league average player. No, Chan-dler was never great and might just have been the worst at running after the catch that I’ve ever seen, but is Clay that big of an upgrade? Miami feels like it upgraded the position with Jordan Cameron, so how good could Clay have possibly been? Gronkowski, on the other hand, is in a league of his own. I can say without hesitation that Gronkowski is the most dominant pass-catching tight end that I’ve ever seen. Better than Antonio Gates. Better than Tony Gonzalez. Better than Shan-non Sharpe. Yes, he appears to be a giant tool off of the field, but there’s no denying Gronk’s talent on the gridiron. ADVANTAGE: Patriots.OFFENSIVE LINE: Nate Sol-der, Dan Connolly, Bryan Stork, Ryan Wendell, Sebas-tian Vollmer (Patriots) vs.

Cordy Glenn, Richie Incognito, Eric Wood, Cyril Richardson, Seantrel Henderson (Bills) — Honestly, I’m not entirely sure how to evaluate these two offensive lines. Neither of these units is awful — far from it, in fact. Glenn and Hender-son are capable tackles and Wood is among the better centers in the league. The Bills’ guard play was shaky last year, but Incognito should be an upgrade and I’d expect the Bills to address the line early in the draft. Likewise, Solder and Vollmer are fine on the tackles. The middle of the line is kind of ‘meh’ for the Pats, too. But neither unit stands out above the other. ADVANTAGE: Push.DEFENSIVE LINE: Rob Ninkovich, Sealver Siliga, Chris Jones, Chandler Jones (Patriots) vs. Stefan Charles, Marcell Dareus, Kyle Williams (Bills) — This is a bit of a mislead as both Jerry Hughes and Mario Williams (possibly Buffalo’s two best players) are listed as linebackers in the new 3-4 scheme. I fully expect both of those guys to have their hands in the dirt more often than not. They’re pass rushers. They’re not linebackers. Either way, does that Patriots line scare you? Chan-dler Jones has had his moments, but New England is going to miss the gigantic presence of Vince Wilfork in the middle of that defense. Dareus and Kyle Williams are great talents in the trenches for the Bills. Even being down four players to three, the Bills have a clear talent edge. ADVANTAGE: Bills.LINEBACKER: Jamie Collins, Dont’a Hightower, Chris White, Darius Fleming (Patriots) vs. Jerry Hughes, Preston Brown, Nigel Bradham, Mario Wil-liams (Bills) — For as much of a knockout blow as the Patriots landed at the quarterback position, the Bills countered with a vicious uppercut at linebacker. Hightower is a fine player. The other guys have to be considered replacement level or worse for New England. Williams and

New Buffalo Bills quarterback Matt Cassel (right), wishes he could throw a football like Tom Brady. There’s no doubt Brady is the better player, but it’s possible that Cassel has the better team. (AP Photo/Kathy Willens)

shared was when they played Oakland Com-munity College at Columbus State Community College. It wasn’t really a rivalry, but both teams weren’t very fond of each other, which made the game even more intense. Jamestown was down by nine with three min-utes to play. But with Sisson’s timeout and the girls' executions with stops and layups, the girls brought their team within one point. Oakland was up 77-76, but with Jamestown’s possession, Alex Sullivan passed the ball to NaKisha Saint-val to score with just 1.3 seconds left to give the Jayhawks their first lead since early in the game and they ended up winning the game 78-77. The graduating sophomores, who are done play-ing basketball at Jamestown Community College, were obviously upset about the disappointing loss at the end of the season, but that’s not what hurts them the most. What hurts them the most was knowing that they would never get to play with the team they played with this year ever again and knowing that they won’t be able play for coach Sisson any longer.

“I looked around in the last game and saw the parents and everybody’s support and it just made me realize how blessed we really are,” graduating senior and team captain Lacey Clark said. Jamestown Community College women’s basket-ball has really made an impact on these young women’s lives. A few of them will continue their basketball careers at four-year schools. Others may have seen their collegiate careers end. But all will carry what they learned from the sport along with them in their own personal life. As for the rest of the women’s basketball team, there are many expectations and high standards that Sisson and his assistant coach Jim Rissel are going to try and fulfill. Sisson brought in Rissel, who had been a long-time supporter of the pro-gram but had never coached before. Even though Rissel had no coaching experience, he turned out to be a terrific asset as he brought balance and wisdom to the team. Rissel’s passion for what he does and compassion he gives the girls were an unheralded part of the team accom-

plished this season. People can expect next year’s women’s basketball team to be a consistently competitive team whose plans are to only get better and work harder in the offseason. Sisson already has the players in a program for the next season. The group of returning athletes looks forward to competing once again and will keep striving to go further than this past year. For the girls that are graduating, Sisson and Rissel explained that they are very proud of them. However, it’s only the beginning and going forward will set a tone for how hard you have to work to accomplish something. After the amazing accomplishments that the JCC women’s basketball team compiled this year, it is easy to see that this is the only beginning of what this team is bound to do in the future. For the graduating girls, congratulations on a terrific season, leading by example for this team, and starting an era for the uprising of an elite and consistent women’s basketball team at JCC.

JCC SEASON IN REVIEW, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 26

Hughes form one of the best edge rusher tandems in the entire league. Both players have to be accounted for at all times. Double team one and the other is sure to make a play. Preston Brown and Nigel Bradham are the reasons why Rex Ryan came in and knew he could ship off Kiko Alonso for LeSean McCoy. Both Brown and Bradham are young, talented players. Neither is a super-star, probably, but they’re a lot better than anything New England is going to run out there. ADVANTAGE: Bills.DEFENSIVE SECONDARY: Malcolm Butler, Patrick Chung, Devin McCourty, Logan Ryan (Patriots) vs. Stephon Gilmore, Duke Wil-liams, Aaron Williams, Leodis McKelvin (Bills) — Last season, this matchup went to New England in a landslide. But gone are both of the Patriots’ starting corners from last year, Darrelle Revis and Bran-don Browner. That’s an awful lot of production. Oh, but the Patriots did replace them with…well…noth-ing. This isn’t even a secondary that would scare E.J. Manuel. Super Bowl hero Malcolm Butler is back there, but there’s a reason why the

guy wasn’t even invited to the scout-ing combine. He’s not fast. He’s not big. Frankly, he’s not even good. But he’s a celebrity after his interception. So there’s that. On the Bills’ side, I’ve spent years trashing Gilmore. I thought he was terrible — and he was. That is, until the final five games or so of last season. Suddenly the former first-round pick was play-ing like a former first-round pick. I really like both Williams’ at safety and Leodis McKelvin is average-to-good on any given day. The unit might miss now-Titan Da’Norris Searcy, but he’s hardly irreplaceable.

ADVANTAGE: Bills.SPECIAL TEAMS: Stephen Gostkowski, Ryan Allen, Julian Edelman (Patriots) vs. Dan Carpenter, Colton Schmidt, Percy Harvin (Bills) — This is actually an exceedingly difficult matchup to call. Without exaggera-tion, Gostkowski and Carpenter might be two of the three best kickers in the league. Schmidt had a great season as a rookie for the Bills last year. Newly signed returner Harvin might be the difference maker. The guy is lightning fast and

can take one to the house at any mo-ment. Frankly, he looked terrible re-turning kicks for the Jets, but maybe that was a fluke because he’s been great for most of his career. The Bills resigned gunner Marcus Thigpen, too, which can’t be overlooked. That said, I can’t pick Buffalo because New England’s unit is just too solid. ADVANTAGE: Push.So for what it’s worth, the Bills won the matchup battle 5-2, with two pushes. Therefore, my argument that the Bills are the better team on paper is valid, right?Unfortunately football is rarely, if ever, played on paper. Last I checked, players still actually take the field and compete in athletic competition. And that’s where hav-ing Tom Brady under center and Bill Belichick on the sideline count for a whole lot more than anything the Bills have. The Bills have been New England’s punching bag for the last 15 years or so. Perhaps this is the year the Bills actually punch back.Stefan Gestwicki is the sports editor of the Chautauqua Star.

Freshman Bailey Gauthier slammed the door by striking out the side with a pair of runners on in the seventh inning to close out a 3-1 Fredonia victory over Franklin and Marshall in Game 2 of a double header in the Devils' fi nal contest in Florida.Gauthier (Camillus, N.Y./West Genesee) threw three scoreless innings in relief of Carl Wolf (Hilton, N.Y. / Hilton) who allowed one scratch run in four innings of work to earn the victory.Fredonia did all of its off ensive damage in the fourth inning. Down 1-0, singles by Kenny Johnston (Buff alo, N.Y. Kenmore West) and Liam Kelly (Buff alo, N.Y./Bishop Timon) set the table for Erik Krohl (Syracuse, N.Y./West Genesee) who drove home Johnston with a double. Kelly scored on a wild pitch advancing Krohl to third. Krohl eventually scored on a sacrafi ce fl y by Brian Castonguay.The Blue Devils dropped Game 1 of the doubleheader 8-4. Krohl had a two run single in the second inning and Ricky Mendiola hit a two-run homerun as a pinch hitter in the seventh.

Four Days, Four All Americans For FredoniaContributed ArticleFSU Sports Information Dept.

The Fredonia diving team will walk away from NCAA Division III Championships with another four All-Americans.All four Blue Devil divers competing in the championships earned either All-American or Honorable Mention All-American honors, capped off by two men's performances in the 3-meter springboard dive on Saturday.In his fi rst trip to NCAA competition, sophomore Jeff Matter (East Aurora, N.Y. / East Aurora) delivered the most dynamic performance of the weekend on the 3-meter springboard. After just

slipping into the fi nals as a top-eight fi nisher, Matter jumped up into fourth place Saturday evening with a 528.85 performance.Matter's fourth-place fi nish on Saturday is the highest ever by a Blue Devil diver in the 3-meter on the men's side. On the women's side, Kelly Sponholz (2009) was a national champion in the event. Sponholz and Sarah Ficarro (2013) were both runner-ups.Arron Carlson (LeRoy, N.Y. / Notre Dame), after fi nishing 12th in the preliminary rounds on Saturday in the 3-meter dive, won the consola-tion fi nals by jumping up into ninth-place with a 505.9 score. His fi nish this year is a large im-provement from his 23rd-place fi nish in the same event last year.

Carlson was named an Honorable-Mention All-American on Thursday for his ninth-place fi nish in the 1-meter dive.Sophomore Meghan Bartlett ( Johnstown, N.Y. / Johnstown) earned All-American status twice this week for her performances in both the 1-meter and 3-meter events.

Stars Rally For 4-3 Win Over SabresContributed ArticleAssociated Press

DALLAS, Texas — Cody Eakin's goal capped off the Dallas Stars' come-back on Monday night.The Stars trailed by a goal after two periods.''We talked about desperation, and get dirty and create traffi c and get some guys in front,'' Eakin said.Captain Jamie Benn, Patrick Eaves and Eakin scored in the third period to lift the Stars over the Buff alo Sabres 4-3.Benn's goal was his second of the game. Eaves' came when he got to the front of the net and the puck defl ected off him for a goal.Eakin's game winner came at 16:46.''It looked like it would go into overtime until we made that late play,'' Dal-las coach Lindy Ruff said. ''Those are the plays you've got to make.''The Stars' desperation came from their attempt to earn the Western Con-ference's fi nal wild-card playoff spot.They have won six of their past seven games. But with nine games left, they remained eight points behind Winnipeg. The Jets won their fi fth in a row on Monday.The Sabres, last in the NHL with 47 points, are 1-8-2 in their past 11 games.''We didn't want to let these guys jeopardize or ruin our season,'' Eakin said.

Sabres coach Ted Nolan noted the diff erence between the teams.''They have game-breakers. We don't win a faceoff to save our soul. We have guys from the AHL that are learning on the job, and it's pretty tough.''Buff alo captain Brian Gionta scored two goals. Matt Moulson had a goal and an assist.Benn earned his 200th assist on Eaves' goal, which tied the game at 3-3 at 12:35 of the third.''(Benn) was hurting at the end of the game, but still muscled the rest of the game out for us,'' Ruff said. ''That's what leaders do.''On the winner, Eakin took a pass from John Klingberg in the left faceoff circle and beat Sabres goalie Anders Lindback, who began the season with Dallas.Lindback fi nished with 35 saves.''I kind of lost my ground there a little bit,'' he said. ''As a goalie, got to fi nd a way.''''We got kind of mixed up out at the blue (line), lost coverage and they found the guy breaking to the net,'' Gionta said.Dallas' Kari Lehtonen made 25 saves.The Sabres opened the scoring at 13:39 of the fi rst period, when Gionta beat Lehtonen with the rebound of Marcus Foligno's shot.Buff alo took seven of the game's fi rst 10 shots, but the Stars took over for the remainder of the period.Including six shots on power plays, Dallas outshot the Sabres 17-9 in the fi rst.Benn tied the game at 19:31 when he moved in front of the net and tipped Eaves' drive from the point barely across the goal line.Buff alo put pressure on the Stars in the second period. The Sabres had the period's fi rst eight shots on goal, and cashed in on the power play at 11:07.Gionta tipped in the puck from a scramble in front after Johan Larsson shot from the top of the right faceoff circle.

NASCAR Fans Buzzing Over Debris CautionsBy Jenna FryerAP Auto Racing Writer

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- There's no way to dance around the fact cautions for debris at Auto Club Speed-way twice changed the outcome of the race.A race that at fi rst should have been won by Matt Kenseth was derailed by a late debris caution. Then Kurt Busch was twice denied a trip to victory lane by yellow fl ags. In all, there were three cautions in the fi nal 25 laps and only once were television viewers shown the actual debris.So a day after Brad Kesel-owski's come-from-nowhere Sunday victory in Califor-nia, NASCAR was again under attack for question-able offi ciating that altered the end of the race. It's a decades-old issue in auto racing, where many of the calls made from race con-trol are subjective.And for all the transpar-ency that NASCAR is now promoting, there was no explanation available Mon-day that would satisfy con-spiracy theorists convinced the sanctioning body is able and willing to manipulate races.It didn't help that Busch,

who had been closing in on taking the white fl ag that would have almost sealed the win, muttered ''WWE,'' on his team radio when a debris caution slowed his pace. The reference was apparently likening NAS-CAR to scripted television wrestling.One had to wonder if there was any truth to Busch's gripe. Since Fox Sports did not show the actual debris on two of the fi nal three cautions, no visible evidence was presented in NASCAR's defense.So here is where it stands now: A fanbase that by nature is largely distrusting of NASCAR now seems to believe series offi cials con-spired to keep Busch out of victory lane.Why would they do that? Well, because Busch is two races removed from a NAS-CAR suspension for an alleged domestic assault on an ex-girlfriend. When the decision fi nally came from authorities to not charge Busch with a crime, he was reinstated by NASCAR and a months-long, embar-rassing legal saga closed.But fans used social me-dia to vent that NASCAR simply wouldn't stand for Busch to win in his second

race back, and those debris cautions were used as road-blocks on Busch's route to victory.Not true, insisted NAS-CAR executive vice presi-dent Steve O'Donnell.''That's a preposterous al-legation,'' O'Donnell said Monday. ''It's a number on a race car to NASCAR. We reinstated (Busch) and we made him eligible for championship competi-tion.''Indeed, when Busch's sus-pension was lifted following a three-race suspension, NASCAR granted the 2004 champion a waiver that made him eligible to make the Chase for the

Sprint Cup championship should he qualify. A win at California on Sunday likely would have put him in the 16-driver Chase fi eld.Alas, he'll have to wait another week after debris twice denied him a victory.Matt Kenseth could cer-tainly relate to Busch's frustration. That was actually his race to win. He had enough gas to get to the fi nish line and was the leader in what was shaping up to be a fuel-mileage race when the fi rst of the three debris cautions was called.The race leader is never go-ing to be happy about a late caution fl ag, and Kenseth was no exception. But his

day went downhill fast. A mechanical failure on the ensuing pit stop dropped him from racing for the win to a 31st-place fi nish.Like everyone else, he won-dered where the debris was that had ruined his race.''There's a debris caution and you can't fi nd debris anywhere,'' Kenseth said. ''Of course, the leader always thinks that, I guess. But I didn't see any (debris) that caution or the next one, so that's always disap-pointing.''Sprint Cup Series director Richard Buck said after the race that multiple teams had reported debris on the track, ''so we went ahead and called the caution. By the time we called the caution, somebody hit (the debris)'' and knocked it out of the racing groove.Here's the problem for NASCAR: Its television partner does them no favors whatsoever when the debris is not shown on camera. Maybe it was there? Maybe it was not? If viewers don't see it with their own eyes, they will believe only what they want to believe.More times than not, the fan at home does not be-lieve NASCAR.

Not The Smoothest Of Roads To The Masters For McIlroyBy Doug FergusonAP Sports Writer

Rory McIlroy's road to the Masters was memo-rable for reasons not many would have imag-ined.He missed the cut at the Honda Classic. He was missing a club at the Cadillac Champion-ship when he flung his 3-iron into a lake. And his highlight at the Arnold Palmer Invitational was eating a banana split after dinner with the King."He went into it like it was the last supper," Palmer said.It wasn't pretty, but there was no reason for McIlroy to panic.He finished off the Florida swing with two birdies on the last three holes for a 2-under 70, eight shots behind Matt Every at Bay Hill. He tied for ninth at Doral, though he was still eight shots behind Dustin Johnson and never really featured on the weekend.In 10 rounds over three tournaments, he broke 70 only once.Before heading home to South Florida for two weeks of work before the Masters, he was asked if he should be the favorite at Augusta National."Given how I've been playing, I guess if you go on form, then probably no," McIlroy said. "But it depends how far you take that for back, and you've got to look at previous results there and all sorts of stuff."There was no right way to answer the question, so he made an artful escape by adding, "I'm not a bookie."But he is the favorite.And there will be loads of pressure on McIlroy. The opportunity is too great.

Not since Lee Trevino in 1991 has a player gone to the Masters with a chance to complete the Grand Slam. Trevino never cared for Augusta National, never seriously contended there and besides, he was 51. McIlroy had a four-shot lead going into the final round in 2011 and shot 80.He knows he can play there. He's only 25. And he's No. 1 in the world.Beyond the Grand Slam, he can join Tiger Woods and Ben Hogan as the only players with three straight majors since the Masters began in 1934. Those opportunities don't come along very often, which is why Woods points to the 2000 PGA Championship (his third straight major) as his most clutch putting performance.The good news for McIlroy is the buildup to the

Masters is over — at least for now.The first three months of the year were all about Augusta National, and the hype wasn't quite as strong as it could have been. He was asked about it a fair amount, though not enough to consume him. Either way, he was prepared for it."I was expecting to get a lot of questions," he said. "It's a big deal what I'm trying to achieve over there."It's difficult to measure progress over five tournaments spread across two months, though his win in Dubai and runner-up finish in Abu Dhabi should not be overlooked.McIlroy said the best golf he was playing going into the Masters was in 2011. He didn't win in five events leading to the Augusta, with a runner-up in Abu Dhabi and a tie for 10th in Dubai and Doral. By that measure, this year has been slightly better.There was a glimpse of impatience early in the Florida swing, particularly at Doral when he had trouble trusting the difficult shots, such as the pull with a 3-iron into the lake, and the club that soon followed the ball into the water. Mc-Ilroy managed to turn that into a light-hearted moment. Donald Trump managed to turn that into a three-day news event. And then it was time to move on.The real culprit has been his wedges and irons. He's simply not hitting it very close for a reason-able chance at making birdie putts. In a tiny sample size, but McIlroy's average proximity from 125 yards to 150 yards was 30 feet in the Florida swing, or about 10 feet farther away than his 2014 average on the PGA Tour.The good news for McIlroy is no one is talking about a slump. And there's something to be said about not peaking too early.

Lake Erie Fishing HotlineContributed ArticleNYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation

The Lake Erie tributaries have now opened up, and many currently have good fl ow and color. However, ice jams at the mouths of some creeks, likely blocks entry of fresh steelhead. Fishing in those creeks will be for holdover fi sh at present. Exceptions include Silver and Wal-nut Creeks, where the creek mouth is wide open. Both of those creeks also looked great this morning. Steelhead can move into Catta-raugus Creek as well, but the Catt is currently high and muddy. For those new to steelhead fi shing, see the Steelhead Fishing in Lake Erie Tributaries page for information on steelhead fi shing equipment, loca-tions and links to stream maps.

Dunkirk HarborAnglers have been catching a few trout from the city pier and DEC fi shing platform, but fi shing has been slow for most. Spoons, spin-ners, jigs, live minnows and egg sacs are good trout off erings.

Ice FishingSome lakes still have good ice, while others are deteriorating. Ice will continue to get thinner with each passing day, especially near shore. Anglers should stay away from stream inlets/outlets and pres-sure cracks. 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 suit-able for small groups fi shing togeth-er. 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 pos-sible. Those new to ice fi shing can check the Ice Fishing Basics page for more information. See the Lake Contour Maps page for maps orga-nized by county.

Chautauqua LakeChautauqua Lake still has good ice of 14-16 inches in most places. Access points are a little thinner, but holding up. Be sure to stay well clear of stream inlets. Be aware that walleye season is now closed (will re-open on May 2). Anglers continue to report good yellow perch action around the north basin at depths of 25-40 feet. Nice sized perch of 8-10 inches have been found at sites off Long Point, Midway, Prendergast, Bell Tower and Dewittville. Small minnows have worked best. If you are catch-ing mostly small perch, a short move can make the diff erence. Mayville anglers are catching good numbers of bluegill and yellow perch. There has also been an up-tick in crappie catches, with better action around sunrise and sunset.

"It's a big deal what I'm trying to achieve over there."It's diffi cult to measure progress over fi ve tournaments spread across two months, though his win in Dubai and runner-up fi nish in Abu Dhabi should not be overlooked.McIlroy said the best golf he was playing going into the Masters was in 2011. He didn't win in fi ve events leading to the Augusta, with a runner-up in Abu Dhabi and a tie for 10th in Dubai and Doral. By that measure, this year has been slightly better.There was a glimpse of impatience early in the Florida swing, particularly at Doral when he had trouble trusting the diffi cult shots, such as the pull with a 3-iron into the lake, and the club that soon followed the ball into the water. Mc-Ilroy managed to turn that into a light-hearted moment. Donald Trump managed to turn that into a three-day news event. And then it was time to move on.The real culprit has been his wedges and irons. He's simply not hitting it very close for a reason-able chance at making birdie putts. In a tiny sample size, but McIlroy's average proximity from 125 yards to 150 yards was 30 feet in the Florida swing, or about 10 feet farther away than his 2014 average on the PGA Tour.The good news for McIlroy is no one is talking about a slump. And there's something to be said about not peaking too early.
