I have some shocking news for most of you. I have to tell you that you are never 100% secure when your computer is connected to the Internet. Yes, indeed, you may have the most up to date antivirus software, the highest rated fi rewall, and the best spy-ware cleaner that money can buy. But there is always vulnerability in the system and I really hate to say it, but that vulnerability lies within us.

Now I know you are saying to yourself, “this can’t be my fault, I have done everything that the experts said to do. In fact, I turn off my computer at night when I

Opened in 1832, the Chautauqua County Poor Farm in Dewittville marked the county’s fi rst social program for individuals who were indigent, disabled, elderly or those who did not have the family, friends or other support mechanisms to help them.

Despite being referred to in county records as the “Alms House and Lunatic Asylum,” and residents as “inmates,” the prop-erty offered the fi rst safety net for those unable to care for them-selves, and was run fairly well, according to County Historian Michelle Henry. It even survived the massive infl ux of immigrants that found themselves there, ar-riving via the New York and Erie Railroad, which opened in 1851.

Starting out as a real vegetable and livestock farm, the facility

had seen numerous changes over the years. In fact, the history of the current county home in Dunkirk is directly linked to the Poor Farm, as it replaced the old facility in the early 1960s, with a different mission, location and

service population.

Today, with its buildings gone and property in private hands, its only remnants are an obelisk and boulder erected in memory of the residents that now rest in its potter fi eld.

But the story of the Poor Farm is more than just a look back at old buildings and an enduring social problem. It exemplifi ed the best effort of its time to care for those

A recent agreement that will help keep the power plant in the City of Dunkirk running on a partial basis for the next two years has produced some optimism in the area, but the long-term future of the facility still remains in doubt.

The coal-fi red power plant survived a total shutdown under

an agreement that will keep it operating at a reduced capacity through May 2015. The deal was struck between NRG Energy, the company that owns the plant, and National Grid, with the facil-ity’s long-term future still up in the air as various studies will be conducted to help determine if the power plant is needed to help supply the region’s electricity.

While one 80-megawatt unit will

remain in operation, a second unit will be shut down, meaning approximately 15 people will lose their jobs through either retire-ments, transfers or attrition.

City offi cials and the remaining plant employees are trying to remain optimistic that the plant will stay in operation, with the concept of establishing a “clean energy economy” the focus of lo-cal environmental groups.

“The failing Dunkirk coal plant is on its last legs so now is the time to start building a clean energy economy for the region in its place,” says Jennifer Tuttle, a representative of the Sierra Club. “We should be aiming to meet our region’s power needs with job-creating clean energy rather than continuing to depend on this aging plant or other dirty

According to Bill Daly, the administrative director and chief executive offi cer of the Chautauqua County Industrial Development Agency, the future of the power plant will ultimately be decided by government offi cials who represent New York State, specifi cally Governor Andrew Cuomo.

“It’s an incredibly compli-cated situation, but when it is all said and done, ultimately it is in the hands of the governor,” says Daly. “We have a lot of con-cerns, but the decision that he makes will be hugely important to the people of Chautauqua County.”

Daly supports the concept of constructing a natural gas-fi red plant that could generate electricity and eventually replaced the coal powered facility.

“When you factor in the economics and research the benefi ts of using natural gas, there are answers to how this type of project can benefi t the region,” says Daly.

According to company offi cials, NRG continues to push for an eventual con-version from using coal to a natural gas combined-cycle plant, with plans to submit to National Grid what they are calling their “Dunkirk repowering proposal” expected to be fi led this week. Following a thor-ough review of those plans, National Grid offi cials will share their recommenda-tions on the proposal some-

time in late April.

NRG already mothballed two of the Dunkirk plant’s biggest generating units last year, with the closure of the third unit expected to hap-pen by the end of May.

National Grid recently completed a thorough review that found it would need to make approximate-ly $70 million in improve-ments to its transmission lines and various pieces of associated equipment to compensate for the loss of the Dunkirk plant.

While some are skeptical, the thought process by various elected offi cials in the region are to remain optimistic that an alterna-tive outcome for the power plant can be found to keep local residents employed at a facility that at one time had thousands of employ-ees but will soon have less than six dozen working there.

“The plan to convert the Dunkirk plant to a natu-ral gas-powered plant to replace the coal burning units is what we hope the governor will support,” says Daly. “This could make our region a leader in the clean energy industry. The price of gas is so low now - the way to go is to build a natural gas electric gen-eration plant. We will wait and see how this is received in Albany, but we hope the governor chooses what we believe to be the best solu-tion that will bring positive results economically and environmentally.”

This week we are featuring “Mouse” and “Joe.” Mouse is a wonderful fi ve-year-old kitty that is ready to move into his forever home. He is super sweet and friendly, likes to play and can be a great lap cat. He would do great in any home. Joe is a two-year-old hound mix. As you can tell from his picture, he is praying that he fi nds the perfect family soon. He is full of life and loves to go for walks and play. He could use a little training to bring out the best in him. If either of these wonder-ful pets sounds like the one for you, stop by the Strunk Road Adoption Center and meet them. They are two furry bundles of love just waiting for their second chance for a great life.

As The Chautauqua Star goes into its fi fth year, our niche continues to be the news-paper of good news to our readers as we feature the events, organizations and people that make Chautau-qua County a unique place to live and work.

Its regular features con-tinue to focus on business

and restaurant profi les, human-interest stories, not-for-profi ts, local sports and entertainment news.

You may have noticed a bit of deviation from this recently as we cover issues that impact our lives as a community and nation. Some of these issues have included the impact of Obamacare to Medicaid, the NY SAFE Act, hy-drofracking and this week, the status of the Dunkirk Power Plant. While avoid-ing a position on any of these topics, we feel it is im-portant to give our readers information on the many complex issues that we face.

In an attempt to cover our county’s rich history, we have also started a series entitled “Lost Places of Chautauqua County,” in which we look at those less-er-known places of the past. In this week’s issue, we look at the county’s poor farm,

which opened in 1862 pav-ing the way for the current county home in Dunkirk. The series piggybacks on a popular series we once ran called “Our Town.”

In addition, our new “tech living” column by Phil Bens features all the news having to do with the using and protecting your com-puter, safety on the internet and social networking, among other topics.

We are also welcoming Dodi Kingsfi eld, a free-lance writer and author from Forestville, who will be covering topics for our women’s page.

Schneider said supporting the war-fi ghter is her main focus. “It’s great to be able to do your job,” Schneider said. “It’s a perishable skill. It’s like riding a bike; if you don’t

do it for a long time then you forget it.” Schneider, a native of Cherry Creek, N.Y., said she is respon-sible for the overseeing all weapons maintenance for the CTU. “When I found out about the service, I enlisted Staff Sgt. Red-ding to ensure we had all the proper tools,” she said. Redding, a Mena,

Ark., native, checked every cable and bolt to help keep the weapon fully mission capable.

“We’re here helping the war-fi ghter maintain a means of defense,” said Schneider.

On Saturday, March 16, students of the three Chautauqua Regional Youth Symphony (CRYS) orchestras had the rare experience of a pre-concert visit with members of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. Then the young people and their chaper-ones took their seats in the beautiful 2,676-seat Heinz Hall and heard the Orches-tra accompany a screening of The Wizard of Oz.

Following the concert, everyone enjoyed dinner at Bucca di Beppo in Pitts-burgh’s Station Square. On their trip back to Jame-stown the students talked of the memories they made that will last a lifetime.

“It was a truly amazing day,” noted CRYS board member and trip organizer Anne Dolce. “This is the fi rst CRYS has arranged an outing like this, but it was such a good experience that I know we will want to plan similar trips in the future!”

CRYS has three orchestras: Prelude Strings for begin-ning string players, Young Artists Orchestra for inter-mediate musicians, and the Youth Symphony for highly talented and motivated musicians ages 13 through college. Under the leader-

ship of music director and conductor Bryan Ecken-rode, they have learning opportunities that are not available anywhere else in the Chautauqua area, in-cluding an intense weekend workshop at Chautauqua Institution.

The Chautauqua Regional Youth Symphony is in the fi nal stages of its Annual Fund Drive. Included in the ways CRYS shows ap-preciation for its contribu-tors are by recognition on its website and in printed concert programs and through complimentary admissions to the Spring Gala Concerts on Sunday, May 5, 2013, in the Reg Lenna Civic Center.

CRYS receives critical sup-port from foundations and other organizations in the community. While par-ents, board members and students participate in fund raising events, donations from individuals and local businesses are essential to CRYS’s survival. Board members were especially appreciative of a signifi cant individual contribution this season from Jon and Aubin Gren.

Tax-deductible donations to the Chautauqua Region-al Youth Symphony can be mailed to Post Offi ce Box 3454, Jamestown, NY 14702.

Hartley Buick and Jame-stown Awning are the fi rst business contributors to the Lillian Dickson Park fundraising campaign. A fundraising goal of $37,500 has been set by the volun-teers and neighbors of the park to purchase preschool playground equipment and install it by September 2013.

Fundraising efforts for the Lillian Dickson Park (“LDP”) are in full swing. Mailings to area businesses have been sent. Grant requests are being prepared. An additional mailing to residents in the vicinity of LDP is planned and fundraising activities are being planned for the spring and summer.

“We’ve begun turning this park into a symbol of com-munity pride and rejuvena-tion,” said David Reinhart, LDP Chairman and neigh-bor. “We have our work cut out for us in 2013, but a great group of volunteers has come forward to make this project happen.”

The LDP volunteers and neighbors have made sig-nifi cant strides last year to bring attention to the need for park improvements. During the “Hands On Jamestown” event in May, the volunteers painted the pavilion, removed brush and fallen debris, installed new fall zone materials under the existing equip-ment and planted fl owers by the park sign. Kickball

games and kids activities were organized during the summer with the help of the Eastside YMCA. A Neighborhood Watch was established and nearly 200 neighbors turned out on National Night Out to show their support. Fundraising activities have generated $1,600 to date.

Impetus for the park improvements came from Creating Healthy Places to Live, Work, and Play (“CHP”), a project funded by the New York State Department of Health and administered by the Chau-tauqua County Health Network. CHP is creat-ing policy, systems, and

environmental changes in the community to increase access to healthy foods and opportunities for physical activity.

“Creating Healthy Places is working with schools, mu-nicipalities, not-for-profi ts, congregations and com-munity groups to achieve sustainable change that will help our families eat well and be more active,” said Janet Forbes, CHP Project Coordinator. “The Lil-lian Dickson Park project was a perfect opportunity to engage the neighbor-hood and bring together diverse partners for positive change.”

Located on Falconer St. between Sturges and Bo-wen, the Park is the former site of School #10 and is named in honor of the school’s fi rst principal, Lil-lian Dickson, who served from 1893 until 1933.

Tax-deductible contribu-tions to the LDP project can be made to the Lillian Dickson Park Non-En-dowed Fund at the Chau-tauqua Region Community Foundation, 418 Spring St., Jamestown NY 14701 or on line at www.crcfonline.org.

For more information about the Lillian Dickson Park Project, contact David Reinhart at 450-2688.

Celebrating one year after opening its doors in the Jamestown community, Five Star Urgent Care today officially became in-network with Univera Healthcare for Commercial and MedicareAdvantage members. Additionally, the facility is welcoming all Jamestown Convenience Care patients, on the heels of the center’s closing.

“Five Star Urgent Care

has had an incredible first year serving Jamestown and the surrounding areas, and we continually strive not only provide the best, most affordable urgent care available, but also to be as inclusive as possible for anyone who is seeking care,” said Dr. John Rad-ford, founder and owner of Five Star Urgent Care. “It was extremely important to us to expand our insurance coverage and provide Uni-vera patients with a more easy and affordable visit.”

Five Star’s in-network

coverage with Univera begins on Friday, March 15. Other insurances ac-cepted at Five Star include: United, Blue Cross Blue Shield, AETNA, Empire, Independent Health, Nova, POMCO, RMSCO, and ELMCO. Community members are encouraged to call Five Star with any insurance questions.

Additionally, Five Star Urgent Care has become a premier sponsor for the Jamestown Ice Arena start-ing this month. The urgent care facility has purchased

the naming rights for Arena B, as well as a sec-tion sponsorship in Arena A, and will be providing health booths at various events held at the arena throughout the upcoming year.

“Our health booths at the Arena will feature our practitioners offering vari-ous health services such as free blood pressure read-ings,” explained Radford. “We’re very much looking forward to meeting more of the community members and speaking with them

on a more personal level about their health questions and how we can help them. Additionally, Five Star will be handing out free t-shirts from time to time. We’re excited about the sponsor-ship, and hope to have a lot of fun with the commu-nity.”

Five Star Urgent Care is Jamestown’s affordable alternative for exceptional, faster medical care. The only urgent care serving Jamestown with the Certi-fied Urgent Care Designa-tion from the Urgent Care

Picking a career path in which to wisely invest your education dollars can be tricky, especially if you don’t want to graduate with a pile of debt and no job of-fer. But there’s one profes-sion to consider that can’t be outsourced or replaced: beauty and wellness.

While many industries are experiencing job losses and cuts to wages, the U.S. Labor Department reports that personal care and service occupations are growing. The department’s 2010 10-year projection anticipated the industry to

grow by 27 percent, adding more than 1.3 million jobs.

“Beauty careers change lives and make people feel good about themselves inside and out,” explains Lynelle Lynch, President of Bellus Academy, an elite beauty and cosmetology school in San Diego that offers award-winning ca-reer training and multiple license programs. “A bad economy doesn’t eliminate that basic need.”

Whether you plan to become a hair stylist, nail technician, estheti-cian, massage therapist or owner of a spa or salon, a high-quality education can prepare you for a premium career in a thriving indus-

try.

“Look for a beauty school that positions graduates with the latest protocols, marketing, financial lit-eracy and goal-setting skills necessary to be leaders,” says Lynch, whose elevated academic approach has re-defined academia for mod-ern beauty students. Bellus Academy has received 13 of the industry’s top awards since 2008 for educational excellence.

If you’re looking to break into the beauty industry, here are some career tips to consider:

• It takes more than technical training to be successful. Take advantage

of courses your program of-fers that develop business, personal and marketing skills

• Leave your program with real world experience. Schools such as Bellus partner with top salons and spas to place students in elite externships or work with industry icons at special events. This is an opportunity to network and gain insight into the profes-sional industry.

• Get a great return on your educational invest-ment by opting for a school with career services. For example, Bellus Academy offers résumé assistance and job interview prepara-tion to students and alumni

and updates its job listings weekly. The school also prepares students to pass exams for licensure or in-ternational certification.

• Financing your training doesn’t have to break the bank. Like degree pro-grams in medicine or law, there are opportunities like scholarships through the “Beauty Changes Lives” program and students can meet with financial aid pro-fessionals to review what aid they qualify for.

• A beauty career is flexible and travels well. Consider gaining an international certificate to take your skills abroad.

More information about

the advantages of a beauty education can be found at www.BellusAcademy.edu.

“With traditional career paths losing some of their luster during the downturn, beauty has become espe-cially attractive, offering flexibility and a human connection,” says Steve Reiss, Vice President of Modern Salon Media.

If beauty is your passion, you’re in luck. The industry attracts caring, entrepre-neurial individuals with a mission to make a differ-ence through beauty and wellness. Even in uncertain economic times, it’s an industry that’s proven to thrive and grow.

CHAUTAUQUA STARFRIDAY, MARCH 22, 2013 5

By Patricia PihlManaging Editor

“In my guestbook, I have people from nearly every country.” That was “Boo” Rowland’s observation as she spoke about the shop she had owned for nearly 40 years behind her large Victorian brick house on West Main Street in Fre-donia.

Over the years, hundreds of visitors and custom-ers stopped by the shop, known for its one-of-a kind gifts from around the world. Mrs. Rowland, who prefers to be called by her nickname, “Boo,” recently had a chance to look at those books, since closing the store last fall.

She and husband, Carter moved into the house on West Main in 1967 after years in the Middle East, where he worked at the University of Jordan, before they moved back to the states.

It was a place she calls “one of the happiest countries I had ever been in,” and would eventually name her shop after the street she lived on, which roughly translates as “hidden place” in Arabic.

After extensive renova-tions to the tenant house in 1974, Boo opened The Luweibdeh Shop in 1974. She recalls how then town supervisor Steward Dudley broke a bottle of cham-pagne at the store entrance.

Early on, the shop catered to local clientele, but soon broadened its scope for cli-ents from Erie, Pittsburgh, Buffalo and Jamestown. She says that there were also a number of parents of students at the college who discovered the shop during parents’ weekend, and usu-ally returned every year.

As the Luweibdeh Shop became more famous, a variety of clients came from every state and beyond that, tourists from several countries. Find-

ing the necessity to expand her collection, she went to multiple gift shows in such places as New York, Phila-delphia, Miami, Canada and Seattle, handpicking all the merchandise.

“Individuals looking for a particular gift would al-ways come to Luweibdeh,” she says. As the years went by, the shop gained a reputation for the quality and scope of its offerings. She says that those looking for quality and uniqueness would be willing to pay a higher price for the types of gifts they could fi nd there, including crystal from many sources, pewter, leather goods, toys, unusual serving dishes, jewelry, and lamps. She was also the fi rst retailer to bring Vera Bradley products to the area. In addition, brides-to-be would also have regis-tries at Luweibdeh over the years.

What’s a gift without a beautiful presentation? “People were enamored by

the way I wrapped pack-ages and thought of this as one of my most attractive offerings,” Boo comments.

Often, famous individu-als would pay a visit to the shop. Among them was Rue McClanathan, of The Golden Girls. Boo received a handwritten note from McClanathan, which now hangs framed in her home.

As part of her business, Mrs. Rowland emphasizes the friendships she has made over the years. “A lasting business is built on friendships. The local people and tourists have been very supportive, and a pleasure to serve. I loved meeting the people and seeing them all leave with a smile. I will miss all this.”

In a farewell message published recently in The Chautauqua Star, Boo tells her friends and customers, “May life be kind to all of you and keep in touch.”

SENIOR SECTION

the Weekly Word

RELIGION SECTIONDear Pastor, why is the resur-rection of Jesus so impor-tant?

With the celebration of Easter just around the corner, your ques-tion is very timely. While most people spend great effort to honor the birth of Jesus Christ, it is the Resurrection of Jesus Christ that is truly the most important event for all of mankind. Without the Resurrection, there would be no Christianity! Without the Resur-rection, all creation would be forever separated from God’s presence and could not enter into Heaven.

The Bible says that when man

disobeyed God in the Garden of Eden, the whole world became subject to sin (Romans 5:12). The Bible tells us that sin disqualifies us from entering into God pres-ence (Romans 3:23). God, not willing to loose the relationship with His beloved creation, prom-ised He would send a Redeemer to resolve the problem of sin (Genesis 3:15). This would allow for reuniting with His creation. If you examine the Bible, you’ll see that God promises to answer the need for the justification (to clear the debt) of mankind’s sinful state from the creation, throughout the miraculous conception of the Lord Jesus Christ. The birth of the

Jesus was the initiation of God’s promise.

Jesus lived a sinless life to qualify as the perfect sacrifice in God’s plan. Amazingly, when Jesus hung on the cross and His sinless blood poured out (Hebrews 9:14), He took upon Himself the penalty for every sin of mankind (2 Corinthi-ans 5:17-21). This included every sin from man’s first sin in the Garden of Eden to the last sin that will ever be committed just before the end of the world. At His death, Jesus suffered the full judgment of the world’s sins in our place (Matthew 12:40, Psalm 22). Even with His suffering and death,

the plan for our redemption had not yet been fulfilled. It was only when Jesus Christ rose from the dead in order to reveal the truth of God’s power that divine justice was served and the Lord’s sacrifice met the conditions for the eternal redemption of mankind.

The Resurrection is the fulfillment of God’s promise for redemp-tion. It restores the opportunity of reunion with the Father, gives us power over sin (Romans 8:2), and allows for an eternal, everlasting life in His presence (1 John 2:25). It is for this reason that Easter should be celebrated as the great-est single event in history.

Keeping the Faith

Faith by Value

When you were held captive by sin and death, a ransom was nec-essary to purchase your freedom. The devil demanded a price so high that he thought Heaven would never pay it. Satan was only willing to let you go in exchange for the murder of the Son of God. The devil was blinded by his hatred for Jesus. While the devil demanded Jesus’ death in hate, God willingly gave Him in love. Love never fails.

The human body is worth less than five dollars when consider-ing its value in carbon, salt, and other minerals. The human spirit was worth the Blood of the Son of God. The Father is sitting upon a throne of light. His streets are made of divinely polished pure

gold. The walls of His city are layered gemstones. God owns all the gold and silver on earth. The oil fields, titanium, and platinum are all His. God’s servants, the angels, are dressed in gowns that look like the brilliance of shim-mering diamonds. The galaxies could have been His currency. He could have placed all this upon a scale, added up the value, and offered it for your ransom. That would have been love but it wouldn’t have been ultimate love. For if there had been something that God wouldn’t give, the world would have had reason to doubt His love.

In our modern society, currency should be backed by something of worth for it to be valuable. The American dollar used to be

backed by gold. In times past, each dollar you had represented that much gold in the National Treasury. But now people are losing faith in the dollar. Why? Because it has lost it’s gold back-ing. In a like manner, the faith of Christians is failing because they have forgotten their back-ing. Christians are on the Jesus standard: You have been valued with His value. His worthiness is your worthiness. If Christ is worth it then you are worth it. Faith believes your God given value.

Romans 8:32 says, “He that spared not His own Son but deliv-ered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him freely give us ALL THINGS.” Fact: The only good thing that God won’t pro-vide for you is something worth

more than the Blood of Jesus. There isn’t anything more valu-able than that! When you realize this, faith won’t be something you try; it will be something that you have. If you can believe that God would give it to Jesus then you can believe that God will give it to you. God set the standard when He gave Christ. Is the healing of your body greater than Christ’s Blood? Is the financial help you seek greater than God’s Son? Is the restoration of your marriage bigger than the Gift of Jesus? This is how God wants us to approach Him. He wants us to compare all our necessities to the cross. Will your need swallow God’s love or will God’s love devour your needs? My need is never greater than His love.

While we are all taught to use good manners when answering the telephone, not everyone who calls you necessarily has good inten-tions.

According to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, a recent spate of lottery scams or advance fee frauds originating in Ja-maica are targeting seniors and other Americans by telephone.

While the Jamaican and U.S. governments have teamed to tighten laws and combat the problem, it’s important to guard against becoming the next victim.

Knowing the difference between legitimate tele-marketers and scammers is crucial. Protect yourself by taking the following precautions:

• Never pay money to collect supposed sweep-stakes winnings. Legitimate operations won’t require you to pay to collect winnings. It’s against U.S. law to play foreign lotteries. If you get a call saying you’ve won one, it’s probably a scam.

• Never wire money to anyone you don’t know.

• Ignore unsolicited calls from anyone, even charities and companies with whom you already do business. You have no way to con-firm the caller is legitimate. Even caller ID can be faked. When in doubt, just hang up.

• Place your telephone number on the National

Do Not Call Registry. It’s fast and free. Visit www.DoNotCall.gov or add your number to the registry by calling 888-382-1222 from the phone you wish to register.

• Check unfamiliar area codes before returning calls. Be aware that there are many three digit area codes that connect callers

to international telephone numbers.

• If you don’t make inter-national calls, ask your telephone provider to block incoming and outgoing international calls.

• Never provide anyone with personal information, such as bank accounts, pin numbers or Social Security

numbers.

• Prevent criminals from accessing your money. Con-tact your bank, brokerages, as well as the Social Security Admin-istration to add a password to your accounts.

• If callers insist on speaking with you, tell them you’ll call them directly. Don’t take a number offered by a

potential fraudster. You’re safer looking up the num-ber independently.

• Scammers often create false deadlines. If you feel pressured, hang up. You’ve spent a lifetime earning your money. You deserve time to choose how to spend it.

• Help others from fall-

ing victim to scammers by warning friends and family. If you’ve received a call, mail or email you think might be from a scammer, report it to the Federal Trade Commission by call-ing at 877-FTC-HELP (877-382-4357) or contact local authorities.

“The Jamaican Govern-ment is resolved to success-fully combat this scourge. We have put in place both legislative and operational measures that will ensure that persons who prey on vulnerable seniors are held accountable,” said. Jamai-ca’s Minister of National Security, Peter Bunting, who is working with U.S. officials to stop new Jamai-can lottery scams.

You don’t have to live in fear to avoid being a vic-tim. By becoming informed of the latest tactics used by scammers to defraud consumers, you can protect yourself and your finances.

Saint James Church choir with the Family Worship Theatre will transform into the early church as it recre-ates Leonardo Di Vinci’s classic painting of the “Last Supper.” This liturgical musical drama will take place at St. James Church at 27 Allen Street in Jame-stown on Palm Sunday, March 24 at 4 p.m., and on Good Friday, March 29 at 7 p.m.

This theatrical produc-tion was written by Ruth Elaine Schram, and the choir is directed by Cathy Gagliano. The parishioners that make up the Fam-ily Worship Theatre have been rehearsing since early January with the choir for this Holy Week produc-tion. This musical drama showcases the choir who performs throughout the production, while the stage is set to mimic da Vinci’s

“Last Supper.”

The apostles will step away from the table and share their innermost thoughts of the day. It is biblically and historically sound, however, there is not a lot of information about what the Apostles may have said, so a lot of the script is what they would have felt. Peter, for example, was a fi sherman, who was called from his job by Jesus to follow and be “a fi sher of men.” Peter was a bit stub-born and that is conveyed throughout the play. The celebration of Easter is the largest and most important celebration in the Christian faith because it remembers Jesus rising from the dead.

Tom Franco, the play’s di-rector, said, “The play has an ensemble of 18 actors, as well as more than 20 choir members. Everyone is pretty excited about this drama. It has been a ‘labor of love.’ The whole premise of the play is summarized

in the simple words, ‘Is it I?’”

Franco explains that dur-ing the Last Supper, Jesus told his disciples that one of them would betray him and we gain insight into each apostle’s thoughts.

“Ultimately,” said Franco, “the most important lesson of this presentation is God’s love and mercy. God’s will is perfect, but sometimes diffi cult to understand.”

The production is open to all faiths. Admission is free.

“We are hoping the church will be fi lled for the per-formances,” said Franco. “This performance will help people realize what is important in life and we believe that the reward on earth is nothing compared to the reward in the eternal kingdom.”

Following Sunday’s perfor-mance there will be fellow-ship and refreshments in the church hall.

Governor Andrew Cuomo believes his proposed $120 million cut to agen-cies serving people with developmental disabilities can be accomplished by slashing their administra-tive and overhead costs. But the agencies say some of their costs are a direct result of a New York State service delivery system that is fraught with ineffi ciencies and excessive regulatory oversight.

With the number of days dwindling if the state is to adopt a 2013-14 spending plan on time, Cuomo and leaders of the Senate and Assembly are locked in negotiations to agree on a spending plan. A major sticking point is the gover-nor’s insistence on a $120 million cut in Medicaid funding from the budget for the Offi ce for People With Developmental Dis-abilities. OPWDD Com-missioner Courtney Burke has said the $120 million would come from funding to so-called voluntary pro-viders of services to people with disabilities, leaving state-operated facilities untouched. And because state Medicaid dollars are

matched by federal fund-ing, the cut in state Medic-aid funding would trigger an additional $120 million cut in federal Medicaid money, meaning a $240 million loss for voluntary providers. This equates to a six percent across-the-board cut.

The governor’s proposal has galvanized voluntary providers, people with dis-abilities and their families to mount a state-wide grass-roots protest, and in response the Legislature told Cuomo that it wants the $120 million restored to next year’s budget. But Cuomo has dug in his heels and, in recent days, has changed the dialogue to focus on his contention that by cutting administrative and overhead costs as well as executive salaries and compensation, agencies can achieve the 6 percent reduction without disrupt-ing services to people with developmental disabilities.

Providers counter that New York State employs an antiquated and unreason-able method of reimburs-ing agencies for the costs they incur in delivering services to people with developmental disabilities. Additionally, providers say they are being suffocated

by increased regulatory oversight that is driving up administrative costs while stretching thin the ability of direct support workers to provide safe, quality care to a class of people who are among the most vulnerable in society.

It is because people with developmental disabilities are so vulnerable that care-ful regulatory oversight is necessary. But voluntary providers lament that the Cuomo administration has overburdened them with excessively stringent regulations. They say it has gotten to the point that every incident resulting in a bump or a bruise – as well as incidents in which no harm occurred – requires an extensive investigation to be conducted by the provider. This results in massive amounts of time and staff to investigate in-cidents, fi ll out paperwork and review an investiga-tion’s fi ndings.

With a high level of regu-latory oversight, it is not surprising then that costs associated with quality assurance eat up a large portion of an agency’s administrative costs. A study of the expenses at seven providers in Western New York showed that they

spent a combined $1.75 million – and employed 42 people – in activities associated with quality as-surance (including incident management, corporate compliance and the devel-opment and administration of plans of corrective action when agencies are cited for any level of fi nding associ-ated with a myriad of state regulations).

And with the scheduled opening later this year of New York State’s Justice Center for the Protection of People with Special Needs (which is proposed to have a $37.4 million operat-ing budget in 2013-14), voluntary providers are wary that the level of state regulatory oversight is only going to increase, as will the providers’ quality as-surance costs.

But quality assurance costs are only the second-largest administrative drain on the budgets of the seven WNY voluntary providers that were studied. The biggest hit to their budgets is in the area of necessary fi nancial services. The seven agen-cies combined spent $2.94 million on fi nancial servic-es and needed 75 employ-ees to do the work. Of the 17.5 full-time equivalencies employed by one agency,

11.5 were tasked to chase Medicaid and Medicare reimbursement – trying to get Medicaid managed are organizations to pay the provider the money it was owed for services provided.

Another facet of the administrative cost bur-den faced by voluntary providers is in the area of workforce support – re-cruiting staff, training new employees and providing assistance to help workers be successful in their de-manding jobs. These costs amounted to $766,000 among the seven agencies and required the efforts of 25 full-time people.

Workforce support costs are high because of the diffi culty voluntary provid-ers experience in recruiting and maintaining quality employees. Lack of suffi -cient fi nancial support from the state means voluntary providers are unable to offer competitive wages to entry-level direct support workers. And while volun-tary providers attempt to pay workers a starting sal-ary that exceeds the mini-mum wage, many potential workers would rather take a job at a fast-food restaurant than face the pressure and challenges that come with providing care to people

with developmental dis-abilities. The intense regu-latory scrutiny demanded by the state only makes at-tracting and retaining new workers more diffi cult. It is typical for most organiza-tions to see turnover of half of its new employees within the fi rst three to six months of employment.

And while voluntary pro-viders rack up millions of dollars in administrative costs each year, New York State fails to reimburse providers for the entire costs they incur. One agency noted that the state expects the agency to carry unfunded administrative costs in excess of $800,000 annually.

While New York State continues to talk about moving the system from fee for services to capitated managed care, the provid-ers note that the current system has gone unchanged and is still subject to a burdensome, fragmented set of regulations and fund-ing that require adherence to often confusing and irrational demands by the state that can only be satisfi ed through extensive and costly administrative supports and services.

Nestled in the small town of Frewsburg, the Corner Coffeehouse and Bistro is one of the area’s only res-taurants to feature organic ingredients and vegetarian options on their delicious and diverse menu. Family owned and operated by Joseph and April Glarner, the Café offers some of the most diverse and healthy dishes in the region, but it may be a well-kept secret to those outside the Jame-stown area.

Opened one year ago, the Café features a family friendly environment, live music and entertainment, and some of the best coffee this writer has tasted in a very long time. Located on West Main Street, the Café features vintage styl-ing with a rustic décor and a relaxed, family friendly atmosphere. Walking in the

restaurant I was immedi-ately immersed in the smell of Italian cooking, a smell that is near and dear to my heart.

The Café’s menu features many hearty entrees such as garlic and basil mari-nara, pasta Alfredo, sesame crusted bacon carbonara, and chicken and shrimp cream curry just to name a few. All of their pasta is handmade with authentic New York State grown semolina flour, and though it may seem subtle, let me just say that you can really taste the difference.

Owner and head chef Joe Glarner had this to say about the choice to go organic: “Nutritionally it’s very healthy for you, especially when it comes to produce, but it’s also about raw flavors. When you’re cooking with organic ingredients, it captures flavors much better than any genetically modified

produce that most people are used to.”

It may be surprising to

some given the high store price of organic food, but according to Joe, “organic sales are raising every year, from 25 to 30 percent, so the food industry is try-ing to keep up with what

people are becoming aware of.” Joe went on to say “ having organic produce readily available is impor-tant, because genetically modified food has yet to prove itself to the human body, but what we are find-ing out isn’t very good.”

In addition, The Corner Coffee House and Bistro is also a family friendly music venue that features folk, jazz, acoustic, and many other genres. I had the pleasure of watching local Irish folk musicians Doc and Bill at The Corner Coffee House recently and I was very impressed. In addition to its lovely atmo-sphere, the place also has exceptional acoustics and is a great place to get a cup of coffee and catch some high quality live music.

This outlet is very im-portant to Joe and April because it serves a com-munity function, and helps bring people together. “People don’t come out and celebrate each other like they used to” says Joe, “We are seeing front porches being gated up, and fences being put up and in reality we all rely on each other and people tend to forget that.”

Locally renowned jazz artist Pete Pepke performs every Thursday night from 6- 8 p.m. with his band Andre and The Giants, in addition to the whole slew of local and regional artists who come through on a weekly basis.

So if you are looking to experience something new and unique, you need to check out Frewsburg’s finest Café, The Corner Coffeehouse and Bistro.

I guarantee you will be blown away both by the food, the entertainment and the friendly people you will meet. The Corner Coffeehouse is located at 54 West Main Street in Frewsburg. More informa-

tion about the café and upcoming shows can be found at facebook.com/cornercoffeehouse, or by calling 569-6547. Hours are Tues-Sat, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.̀

Members of the Chautau-qua County Art Teachers will display their work at the James Prendergast Library Art Gallery March 22 through April 26.

An opening reception to meet the teachers and view their work will be held from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Friday, March 22 in the Fireplace Room at the library. The reception is free and open to the public, and refresh-ments will be served.

“We expect to show a great variety of art work by rep-resentatives of many local school districts,” according to the exhibit’s chair, Terry Carlson of Jamestown High School.

A show by members of the professional organization for county art teachers has become an annual tradi-tion at Prendergast Library.

“Every year, it’s exciting for students and their parents to see new art work that has been created by local teachers,” Ms. Carlson said.

The school-library partner-ship provides a showcase for instructors’ talents and a welcome viewing oppor-tunity for the community,

according to Tina Scott, acting library director.

Two businesses housed in the SUNY Fredonia Technology Incubator have been named final-ists for the 2013 BETA Awards, given by InfoTech Niagara, the trade associa-tion of Western New York’s information technology industry. The Center for Sports Skills Measurement & Improvement (Center for Sports) CEO Kevin Morse and iKoss Consult-ing CEO Jennifer Koss will both participate in the 13th annual award ceremony which honors the best and brightest companies and individuals in the region’s technology community. In

all, over 400 technology professionals are invited to the BETA Awards, which will be held March 27 at the Buffalo Convention Center.

“Having two finalists out of Dunkirk this year is excellent recognition for Chautauqua County,” said Incubator Director Robert Fritzinger. “These two companies are among the very best the WNY technology community has to offer and are prime examples of the kinds of entrepreneurs currently housed in SUNY Fredo-nia’s Incubator.”

The Center for Sports is a finalist in the “Rookie of the Year” category, the same award the SUNY

Fredonia Technology Incu-bator itself was nominated for in 2012. This award is given to a new technology organization launched in Western New York within the past year that shows both the growth and poten-tial to become a leader in their industry. With now more than 23 testing loca-tions throughout the U.S., the Center for Sports helps athletes improve, parents stay informed, and coaches explore information on the nation’s athletes, all in one place. The Center for Sports was also named in the Top 100 Univer-sity Startups given by the National Center for Entre-preneurial Tech Transfer, earlier this year.

iKoss Consulting CEO Jennifer Koss is a finalist for this year’s “Women in Technology” award. This award goes to the woman-owned business that has grown a business, devel-oped technology or con-tributed the most to the Western New York technol-ogy community. iKoss is a certified small, woman-owned management consulting firm specializing in business process and organizational transition services, change manage-ment, portal / intranet content writing, and project management support. The company has developed a reputation for excellence among Fortune 1000 com-panies by providing tar-geted client service offer-

ings, quality work products, and outstanding service delivery. It is dedicated to providing immediate value to all of its clients through a dynamic, highly quali-fied workforce. Its unique employment model attracts high-caliber professionals and promotes flexible work-ing arrangements, which benefit both its clients and consultants.

The SUNY Fredonia Tech-nology Incubator offers client entrepreneurs access to a unique facility, busi-ness resources, and technol-ogy expertise, as well as a range of qualified faculty, technology experts, busi-ness professionals and men-tors. Research shows that businesses graduating from an incubator significantly

increase their probability of success. Companies typi-cally spend two-to-three years in an incubator and then graduate when they meet milestones that allow them to operate indepen-dently and expand.

am not using it. In fact, I unplug it from the wall!”

Although that behavior would seem to be very con-scientious, what we really need to do when we are online is to use the Internet defensively. I want you to think of your computer as a car. Remember when your parents took you out driving and they told you about driving defensively? They would tell you when you were driving through a neighborhood to always be ready for a child to run out in the street, or if you were out in the country, be watchful for deer. When driving your car, you should think about possible danger and to be prepared. No one wants you to drive too cautiously, because that can cause an accident too, but the message was always to be watchful and to be smart.

I’d like to use this example of defensive driving as an analogy for how we use the Internet. I’m going to give you a few tips in this article to guide you when you are inside certain “neighbor-hoods” on the Internet. The main places that we need to be careful are in social media, email, and on sites that advertise fake antivirus and other free products. Lately, these are the places that people con-

tract spyware and viruses.

In social media such as Facebook, people can be caught off guard by a mes-sage on their Newsfeed or their Wall that suggests that they check out a funny video. Sometimes they will see a message on their Newsfeed that qualifies them for a fantastic offer. Facebook messages will even appear in the Face-book chat window. What makes these phony mes-sages hard to screen is that these messages appear to have come from a Face-book Friend. So there is

an automatic sense of trust with the message. More than likely, your Facebook Friend has just become infected and he has passed the infection on to all of his friends. To combat this type of intrusion, ask your-self if this Facebook Friend would reach out to you by messaging you or writing on the wall. Also look at the web address or link that you are being asked to click. If it is a random bunch of letters that does not allow you to determine the website then stay away!

Email scams are very

similar to those in Face-book. Some scams can be personal and direct where a thief will tell you a story that you have inherited a large sum of money but your personal information needs to be verified. Never send any sensitive financial information or social secu-rity numbers over email. It is best to just delete these emails and never respond.

A third way that people can contact viruses is by clicking on a phony adver-tisement on the Internet that claims that you are infected and you need to

clean your computer now. If you see a message like that inside of a web page, my advice is to close the Internet, and restart your computer. That sounds like an extreme solution, but these type of ads can infect quickly. Don’t pay for online virus scanners until you check with a technician or a friend that you trust with fixing your computer.

The final place that many people contract viruses is from places that adver-tise free music, ringtones, computer wallpaper, and

screensavers. If you have children that use your computer, it is important to supervise and instruct them on proper use so that these malicious programs are not downloaded.

The Internet is an awe-some place to discover and to have fun, but it is important that we keep our wits about us and be a little guarded as we use it.

Author Jennifer Phillips Russo is holding an art-work contest for her second book of “The Dragon Birthmark” series. This challenge promotes visual literacy and confidence, as well as provides student artists with the opportunity to have their personal art-work published at no cost to them, if chosen.

The contest officially opened March 17, 2013. “The Dragon Birthmark” follows the story of an 11-year-old boy’s journey to self-identity through a fan-tastic adventure, speckled with legend and lore, and offering a few great lessons

and themes throughout the story.

“‘The Dragon Birthmark: World in the Shadows’ is an entertaining, thought-provoking book that takes the reader into the world of imagination and fantasy through the eyes of an 11-year-old boy,” said Amy Piper, Fredonia Elementary School Principal.

Russo, a local resident of Fredonia, is in the process of completing the sequel to “The Dragon Birthmark.” With an insatiable desire to spark imagination and cre-ativity in her readers, she has created the art contest for students across the state and nation. This contest provides the opportunity to sketch characters or scenes

from the second book, which will be featured and published in the book if chosen as a winner. All middle and high school stu-dents are eligible to enter the contest.

Students will be able to submit their artwork pieces through the novel’s website. An online gallery is also available through the web-site, which gives contestants the chance to see examples of artwork that other stu-dents have created and sub-mitted. A description of the characters to be sketched can be found at www.The-DragonBirthmark.com, as well as detailed rules and entry guidelines for this free contest.

Contributed ArticleChautauqua Leadership Network

On a Thursday evening in late February, two-dozen leaders representing busi-nesses and organizations from throughout the coun-ty gathered in a classroom in Bellinger Hall on the otherwise quiet grounds of Chautauqua Institution. Having set aside all other personal and professional commitments for the week-end, the leaders began 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.

The retreat is the first of several programs scheduled for Chautauqua Leadership Network’s Class of 2013 in the coming months. Now in its 21st year, CLN is a not-for-profit organiza-tion designed to identify, recruit, train and network area professionals. To date, more than 400 county residents have participated in the program, which was founded to develop effec-tive community leaders and address the challenges and opportunities facing Chautauqua County.

Class members, most of whom have been nomi-nated by their employer to

participate in the program, arrive at the retreat with little information about the weekend’s activities. Through a series of ice-breakers and interviews, group members learn more about each other and begin a discussion of different leadership styles and how and when those styles can be most effective. Led by facilitator Larry Robin-son with the assistance of several CLN alumni, the retreat follows a rigorous schedule of self-assessment, conversation, group pre-sentations and experiential activities.

“The CLN weekend retreat was a blast—part intel-lectual discussion, part brainteaser and part sitting by the fire at the end of the day drinking wine and laughing with new friends,” said Bill Evans, an attorney with Phillips Lytle who has recently returned to the area. “I learned a lot about leadership skills, teamwork and my own personal strengths and weaknesses while also having a lot of fun.”

Following its February retreat, the CLN Class of 2013 was welcomed to the organization with a reception on March 9, and the group now begins a year-long series of half-day workshops covering such topics as business and economic develop-

ment, boardsmanship and meeting management, and ethics. The curriculum also includes group projects that allow class members to gain a broad knowledge of the assets of the Chautau-qua County community.

The CLN Class of 2013 will graduate next fall, and

members can remain active in the organization by vol-unteering for various CLN events and through service on committees or the board of directors. Alumni are in-vited to participate in class workshops during the year and often share news of employment opportunities and community fundrais-ers with the larger CLN network of professionals. The organization also hosts a Community Leadership

Award ceremony each year to honor an area leader or organization.

“The relationships our members have built with one another go beyond their own professional growth,” said CLN execu-tive director Pene Hutton. “They share ideas and opportunities with one another, but also share a real commitment to make Chautauqua County a bet-ter place to work and live.”

For more information about Chautauqua Lead-ership Network, please visit the organization’s new website at www.chautau-qualeadership.org. CLN’s leadership training and the network that supports these leaders is made pos-sible through the support of its sponsors, Lake Erie Regional Health System of New York, The Resource Center and Nestle Purina.

in need, for the shortest period of time, with the limited resources at hand, while placing the founda-tion for social reform to come. Records of immi-grants helped at the poor farm are also currently helping those who are trac-ing their genealogy to the county.

“A Good Farm at A Reasonable Price”

According to Henry, the county’s board of super-visors began looking for “good farm land at a reasonable price,” after a state law went into effect in 1830, requiring any county with a population over a certain size to establish a poor farm. Purchasing 90 acres, the county initially erected a two-story framed building at the Dewittville site.

The farm grew quickly and by 1869, had increased the number of “substan-tial” buildings to include a main brick structure which served as the main hous-ing for residents as well as the farm’s superintendent and his family. Next to the main building was a mental facility, which seg-regated those with mental illness or others considered dangerous. Other buildings included the boiler room, large horse and dairy barns, a chapel which served as a schoolhouse for children and a quarantine area for those with lice or other contagious condi-tions.

Along with the growth in the number of structures, the farm grew from its original 90 to 435 acres. According to Henry, the growth was necessary since the farm grew its own food,

as well as supplying food to the county jail. Some of the vegetables grown by residents included pota-toes, corn, peas, and other produce.

The livestock at the farm- horses, cows, pigs and sheep- also needed pasture. Buying the additional property also increased its self-sufficiency, as it had one or two reservoirs pip-ing its water supply down from the hill in back.

In addition, poor farms were also required to send their produce and livestock to the county fairs. “For a number of years, our live-stock went to the state level, and did very well.” Henry said.

By that day’s standards, it was well run, says Henry. “For many years, the poor farm received very high ratings from the inspectors who came there.”

‘We were handed a ticket and told that our needs would be met’

The onslaught of immi-grants from Europe during the 1850s- largely Irish escaping the potato fam-ine and Germans- would also be felt in Dewittville, taxing the farm’s ability to provide for them, as well as swelling its ranks from 300-400 annually to its highest at 5,000.

“I suspect they were prob-ably cramming families in rooms that were meant for one or two people,” said Henry regarding the throngs of immigrants that the farm found itself serving. New facilities were not built, she said because many of the poor farm’s residents were there for short periods of time.

Completion of the New York and Erie Railroad in 1851 was largely respon-sible for those immigrants making their way from New York City to Dunkirk. Each day, an immigrant train would bring untold numbers to Dunkirk, many taken to the poor farm for temporary assistance. That posed an enormous problem, said Henry, since the county taxed the towns according to where each of its residents came from.

“Right from the start, we started seeing the impact on the county’s finances and were trying to get the commissioners in NYC to reimburse us for all these people, and to get them to investigate where these folks were getting their train ticket. We were just unable to get them to coop-erate.”

She continued, “folks ar-rived here and said, ‘we were just handed a train ticket and told our needs would be met.’ “That told you something – somebody in the city was promoting their departure.”

Daily Life

Prior to the 1950s, resi-dents worked on the farm, and in the kitchen, with an existence that wasn’t all that different from how most lived at the time, ac-cording to Henry. “Most of our first settlers were living in log cabins, so it was not terribly different than the way people were already living.” The home also had a doctor on call for residents who might need medical attention.

Because of the growing stigma attached to the name “poor farm,” the

name was changed in the 1920s to the County Home, by the 1950s, farm worked had stopped. “Our ideas on how to treat the indigent or people with disabilities changed too,” says Henry. “We really saw an expan-sion of our social programs in the 50s and 60s, so that those with other needs (physical or mental dis-abilities) were being met by those programs, and it was no longer a function of the home.”

All the buildings at the poor farm were either torn down or fell down by the 1980s with nothing re-maining today. Residents of the home were moved to the new Dunkirk location in the early 1960s, because of the need to be near an accredited hospital, said Henry.

Potters Field

Today, all that remains of the Chautauqua County Poor Farm is its potter field, landlocked by private property; an obelisk and boulder mark the grounds where residents who died there are buried. Accord-ing to Henry, it is uncertain how many are actually there due to irregulari-ties in record keeping at the time, but the numbers could well be over 1,200-1,500. Sometimes remains were interred, only to be reclaimed by family members at another time.

According to Henry, some believe that after 30 years, the graves were re-opened and reused.

In reflecting on the poor farm, Henry says, “I am impressed with the role that it played in the county when it was established. Being that it was the only social program, it served many, many county resi-dents and immigrants, and now we have people from all over the country con-tacting us trying to retrace their immigrant ancestors’ deaths, so we are lucky to have those records.”

Visitors to southwestern New York State are invited to celebrate local farms, food and drink during the third annual Chautauqua in June learning festival, May 31 – June 16, 2013. The two-week schedule offers more than 20 work-shops in culinary, creative, and cultural arts as well as outdoor recreation with an emphasis on celebrating the region’s agricultural heritage.

The Chautauqua County Visitors Bureau in south-western New York State announces the third annual Chautauqua in June, a learning festival held in the tradition of lifelong learn-ing popularized by Chau-

tauqua Institution more than 139 years ago. The new two-week schedule, May 31 to June 16, includes more than 20 different workshops in culinary, creative, and cultural arts and outdoor recreation with a special emphasis on celebrating Chautauqua’s rich agricultural heritage, regional farms, and locally sourced food, wine and beer. Classes are held in both indoor and outdoor classrooms across Chau-tauqua County, the world’s vacation learning center.

Experiences offered range from a two-hour Wine, Seasonings, and Food Pairing workshop at 21 Brix Winery to a two-day series of Farm to Table experiences with chefs from Chautauqua Institution’s historic Athenaeum Hotel.

For a second year, Execu-tive Chef Ross Warhol will bring awareness to the Farm to Table movement, providing educational cu-linary experiences through a three-part series with dinners and a workshop in the field. On June 6 and 7, Chef Warhol, Alex Gray and Marissa Love, all Culinary Institute of America trained chefs, will take students through the Farm to Table culinary process, from gathering ingredients at local farms to sitting down to a formal five course meal in the hotel’s parlor. Experiences over the two days include visiting local farms, sourc-ing ingredients, a tour and tastings at Southern Tier Brewing Company, a hands-on culinary class using the locally sourced

ingredients, and the third annual spring Farm to Table Dinner.

Along Lake Erie, there are several events happening in the region known as America’s Grape Coun-try. With an information center, gift shop and tasting room opening Memo-rial Day Weekend, a new Grape Discovery Center in Westfield will showcase special tastings, product demonstrations, and lessons from the grape industry. In addition to the Season-ings class, 21 Brix Winery in Portland will offer an opportunity to Create Your Own Wine Blend. Liberty Vineyards in Sheridan and Cabana Sam’s Sunset Bay Grill in Irving will each feature wine pairing dinners. Johnson Estate Winery will team up with Good Grass Farm and Chef Jonathan Haloua from western New York’s only AAA four diamond restaurant, La Fleur, to offer a Farm to Table Brunch.

During one of the festival’s most popular workshops, Southern Tier Brewing Company will once again offer the chance to be a Brewer for a Day, provid-ing a hands-on experience

from mash-in to knock-out at the brewing facilities in Lakewood. Participants will see how different malts change the color of beer and learn about the distin-guishing characteristics of hops. At the Ellicottville Brewing Company’s res-taurant in Fredonia, Head Brewer Dan Minner will discuss the history of brew-ing, beer styles and how they pair with food during a Beer Pairing Dinner on June 13.

Located in southwestern New York State, Chautau-qua County is a diverse agricultural region, boast-ing the greatest number of farms of any county in New York State. Many of these are small family farms which sell their agricul-tural products directly to the community through farm stands and farmers markets, making them ac-cessible to collaborate with chefs, winemakers, and brew masters in teaching participants about local foods, wines, brews, and the Farm to Table move-ment in Chautauqua Coun-ty. Additional farm and food themed workshops during Chautauqua in June include an Introduction to Organic Gardening, a

vineyard walking tour, and a culinary adventure based on wild and gourmet mush-rooms.

14 CHAUTAUQUA STARFRIDAY, MARCH 22, 2013FeatUred advertiSer

By Stefan GestwickiStar Sports Editor

The Buffalo Sabres are bad. They’re terrible. Every facet of their game is just putrid.

That shouldn’t come as a shock to anyone who has watched the team this year — or even glanced at the standing from time to time.

But what if I said that this was the worst season in the 42-year history of the franchise?

No, I don’t think I’m being dra-matic or hyperbolic. Perhaps in terms of win-loss record Sabres fans have seen worse, but when you look at the entire season from the very beginning until now, it’s hard to imagine a harder time to be a hockey fan in Western New York.

Before I really get going, allow me to remind readers that I am NOT a Sabres fan. I’d barely classify myself as a hockey fan truth be told. But this rut the Sa-bres are in goes beyond the game being played on the ice. Being an “outsider” looking in allows me to stay objective, though even die-hard Buffalo sports fans will probably agree with my points.

Let’s start from the beginning, or lack there of. When the collective bargaining agreement expired on September 15, 2012 the NHL players were locked out for the second time in eight years — and the third time since 1994.

Just like during the 2004-2005 season, players took offers to play in Europe and other North American Leagues. And simi-larly to the season that wasn’t, businesses in NHL cities that re-lied heavily on the hockey team’s presence suffered mightily.

Just when it seemed most hockey fans had thrown in the towel and accepted that they were going to lose another full year of watch-ing their favorite team, the NHL and the NHL Players Association agreed to a new CBA on Jan. 6. The damage was the cancella-tion of over 40 percent of regular season games, the 2013 All-Star Game and the Winter Classic, which was scheduled to pit the Detroit Red Wings against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

While there were a few fans who swore they’d never again give ‘those greed owners one more cent of my hard-earned money,’ hockey fans fl ocked back to the game they love. NHL teams held special promotions to try to win fans back. A large discount in the team store, free tickets and free concession items during games were just some of the ideas that teams used to ap-pease the fan base.

Then came the 2-0 start for Buf-falo’s darlings. Wins over Eastern Conference-rivals Philadelphia and Toronto had fans fl oating on air and talking playoffs. Thomas Vanek already locked up MVP honors according to the Sabres faithful and Ryan Miller was nothing short of a godsend.

Oh, how times have changed.

In their next 27 games, the Sabres collected just eight more wins. With an overall record of 10-15-4, Buffalo is fi rmly en-trenched at the bottom of the Northeast Division. Only the Florida Panthers, who have dealt with a myriad of injuries, have fewer points in the entire Nation-al Hockey League. Buffalo sports fans are used to their teams not making the playoffs, but rarely are they at the bottom. Even the

franchise history

By Stefan GestwickiStar Sports Editor

Get ready. This is going to be a wild ride.

Peak’n Peak Resort in Clymer will be the location for the East/Midwest Snowmobile Drag Races Shootout, Saturday and Sunday, beginning at noon each day.

The event is hosted by the Snow-moblie Hill Climbing Racing Association (SHCRA), which, according to its website, helps “the industry promote grass roots snowmobile racing with classes for the Trail enthusiast and Pro competitors.”

“The ISR (International Snow-mobile Racing) is a national or-ganization,” Rich Daly, president of the SHCRA, said. “I wasn’t happy with the way amateurs were being treated so I started my own organization.

“Whenever we go into a new area,” Daly added, “we pick up anywhere from 50 to 100 new riders.”

Daly is also the president of Dynoport Inc., Mad Scientist Header Coatings and Bender Racing. A professional racer himself, Daly holds the record for fastest pass on a Pro-Stock

1000 at 8.14 seconds and 159.31 MPH at Maplegrove, Pa.

This weekend’s event will feature a variety of classes including vin-tage, trail rider, youth and pro.

“We get some wild races in the pro classes,” Daly continued. “We run the race very fast. We get quite a mix of (snowmobiles), which is a good thing for the spectators.”

Spectators are assured a great show with admission only $15. Children under 12 years old are admitted free.

“From a spectators standpoint we usually have a three-hour show,” Daly noted. “We mix the fast classes in with the slow classes. People have a very good time.”

The weather has been up and down, but Daly was near certain that the races would go off with-out incident.

“I’m not worried about the weather,” he said. “There’s plenty of snow. I would say 99.9 percent we’re running.”

Registration is from 9-11 a.m. with races starting at noon on both Saturday and Sunday. Peak’n Peak is located at 1405 Olde Road, Clymer, NY 14724.

The 2013 Fredonia State softball season starts March 21 with the team trip to Clermont, Florida. After fi nishing 16-16-1 in 2012, the Blue Devils have greater expectations this season.

Head coach Nicole Loudin is entering her second season and believes the talent on the team ex-ceeds how they fi nished last season.

Nine players are returning in 2013--four starters and three senior pitchers. Senior co-captains Tina Schwartzmeyer (West Seneca/West Seneca East) and Anne Wasik (Fredonia/Fredonia) are returning starters and will be relied upon to lead the Blue Devils. Schwartzmeyer was an All SU-NYAC shortstop in 2010 and has a .310 career batting average. Wasik, last year's starting right fi elder, who has also seen time at second base, was named SUNYAC Player of the Week twice last season. In 2012 she batted .330 with 18 RBI, most by a returning player.

Senior center fi elder Katie Bartkowiak (Fredonia/Fredo-nia) carries a .429 career batting average into the 2013 season and is among the Fredonia State all-time leaders in several statistical categories. The 2009 SUNYAC Rookie of the Year and three-time All SUNYAC player, Bart-kowiak is third with 145 career hits, 24 shy of the school record held by Heather Mercer, who

played from 2001-04, and two behind Jen Grabowski (2002-05). Bartkowiak is also second all-time in runs scored with 87, second in stolen bases with 47, and fourth in total bases with 200. She batted .400 last season and was named to the National Fastball Coaches Association's Northeast Region Third Team.

Loudin emphasized that Bartkow-iak will need to stay consistent, get on base, and make plays for the Blue Devils to be successful.

The fourth returning starter is sophomore catcher Jess Lauck (Kenmore/Kenmore West). She started 18 games last season as a freshman and gained valuable ex-perience in handling college pitch-ers and calling her own games.

The Blue Devils have experience in the circle—all three pitchers are academic seniors.

Alyssa Brognano (New Paltz/Chapel Field Christian), in her third collegiate season, was the 2011 SUNYAC Rookie of the Year and is 14-5 over two seasons with a 2.35 earned run average. Danielle Shelp (Pittsford/Pitts-ford Sutherland), the Blue Devils third captain, has been used both as a starter and reliever since her freshman year and has a 10-4 record in 35 appearances. Raela Wiley-Delp (Wilson/Wilson) has made 20 of 21 appearances in relief the past two seasons as a Blue Devil for a 7-1 record and 2.22 ERA.

“All three pitchers have been

on fi re and looked good during practices,” Loudin said. “There isn't one dominant pitcher on the team because each pitcher has a different style and they all pitch very well.”

Other returning players are se-nior infi elder Jamie Atkins (East Amherst/Williamsville North) and sophomore outfi elder Kate Nicholson (Heuvelton /Heuvel-ton). Atkins was a part-time start-er at third base last year after batting .391 in a reserve role as a sophomore. Nicholson, primar-ily a pinch-runner last season, is making the switch to batting left-handed to take advantage of her speed.

Loudin said that she was happy with the recruit-ing class. Cherise Gunnell (Falconer/ Falconer), a sophomore transfer from Mercyhurst University, is a utility player, and will play multiple positions. Freshman infi elder Alyssa Morgan (Homer/Homer) heads a list of fi rst-year col-lege players. The others are sophomore Kaitlyn Cros-san (Dunkirk/ Dunkirk), freshman Corinne Chris-tie (West Seneca /West Seneca East), Kim Lotocki (Hamburg /Frontier), twins Madeline Medina and Me-gan Medina (Hamburg /Hamburg), and Izzy Simon (Macedon/Penfi eld).

Loudin said that the new players all had experience winning on the high school level and should help make up for the loss of 10 players from last year's team, in-cluding All SUNYAC fi rst

baseman Michelle Lattner and six other four-year players. Two of six, Lauren Larson and Ashley LaPor-ta, will serve as assistant coaches in 2013. Also lost via graduation were Rachel Burrows, Gabrielle Cic-carello, Brittany Lis, and Jennifer Tighe.

The Blue Devils are picked for eighth in the SUNYAC coaches' preseason poll. “The team is more talented than eighth," Loudin said, "and we are confi dent in being the underdog. The starting lineup will be put together based off what gives us the best opportu-nity to score runs.”

The Blue Devils open their season on March 21 against New England College in Clermont, Fla. They return home to face Oneonta, in a doublehead-er March 29.

The Jamestown Ironmen remain in second place in the North Division after paying a visit to Kalamazoo and splitting a two-game set with the third-place Jr. K-Wings this past weekend in North American Hockey League action.

Kalamazoo actually jumped into second place with a 3-2 victory on Saturday afternoon, but its time in front was short lived. Jamestown regained a one-point lead on the number two spot in the North with a 4-2 win on Sunday.

On Saturday, Kalamazoo scored the only fi rst-period goal but Jamestown answered early in the second with a goal from Victor Johansson, assisted by Dylan Zink. The Jr. K-Wings wasted no time, regaining the lead with a goal less than 15 seconds later.

Joe Mottiqua tied the game up once again with 8:50 left in the third with an Ironmen goal assisted by Matthew Crocket. Kalamazoo answered right back once again, scoring less than a minute later to take the edge and seal the win.

Jamestown outshot Kalamazoo, 36-29 on the night and goaltender Joey Ballmer made 26 saves in the loss.

On Sunday, Kalamazoo again scored the only goal of the fi rst period, and took a 2-0 lead 16:44 into the second. Just when the Jr. K-Wings looked like they were on their way to a weekend sweep of their division foe, the Iron-men got right back into the game.

Tyler Dunagan and Luc Gerdes each scored a goal within 30 seconds of each other and tied the score with less than two minutes remaining in

the second. Assists came from Huba Sekesi, Ross Pavek, Michael Maz-zotta and Evan Ritt.

Jamestown owned the third as Elliot Tisdale scored a short-handed goal 7:12 into the third with an assist from Mottiqua. Tisdale’s score gave the Ironmen a 3-2 lead and proved to be the game winner. Gerdes added his second goal of the day with an empty-netter in the last minute of the game with the assist from Ryan Urso.

The Ironmen almost doubled Kala-mazoo’s shots, outshooting the home team, 41-22 while Ballmer made 20 saves in goal during the 4-2 win.

“Kalamazoo is a good team, and we are happy to get out with the split and be back in second place in the North,” said Jamestown head coach Dan Daikawa.

The Ironmen are shooting to hold onto that second spot in the division in order to earn a fi rst-round bye in the playoffs. Jamestown’s four remaining regular season games are at home starting this upcoming weekend as the Ironmen play host to the Michigan Warriors.

Jamestown will take on Michigan at the Jamestown Savings Bank Arena this Friday at 7 p.m. and on Saturday at 5 p.m.

Fredonia State women's la-crosse improved to 3-0 with a 14-11 victory Saturday over Nazareth on the second day of the Flower City Cup.

Katie Kleine and Ra-chael Reinis each scored fi ve goals while Marissa Cussins added three goals. Kleine added two assists.

Casey Chiesa made eight saves in the Fredonia State goal and collected a team-high four ground balls.

Down by a 3-0 score early in the game, the Blue Devils fi rst pulled even at 5-5 on a goal by Kleine and took their fi rst lead, 6-5, on a goal by Reinis midway through the fi rst half. The teams were tied 8-8 at intermission.

The Blue Devils outscored the Golden Flyers 6-3 in the second half. Fredonia State's three-goal scoring

run -- one by Cussins and two by Reinis -- in a span of 7:14 converted a 10-9 defi cit into a 12-9 lead with 12:15 to play in regulation.

Nazareth's Briana Man-cini connected on a free-position shot just over three minutes after the run to trim the Blue Devils' lead to one goal, however, the Blue Devils scored two insurance goals by Cussins and Kleine in the next 1:12 to secure the victory.

The loss dropped Nazareth to 1-4.

Fredonia State's top fi eld player was Kleine with nine draw controls. Reinis collected three ground balls, Cussins took three draws, and Chiesa and Chelsea Maderer caused three turnovers each.

Shelby Depew had one goal while Reinis and Katie Glagolev had one assist each.

The Blue Devils defeated

national ranked St. John Fisher, 14-13, in double overtime Friday. The Cardinals started the week at No. 14 in the IWLCA Division III rankings.

The Blue Devils will play three games in southern California starting next Friday at Redlands. They are also scheduled to meet Chapman next Saturday and Occidental on March 25. All three games will start at 10 p.m. EDT.

Contributed ArticleAssociated Press

Jhonas Enroth did what was needed to get the Buf-falo Sabres a win.

The Buffalo goaltender had stopped 32 shots - includ-ing 26 while protecting a lead in the second and third periods - to help the Sabres post a 3-2 overtime victory over the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday.

Steve Ott's second goal of the game at 2:16 overtime clinched the victory after Montreal tied the score with a pair of third-period goals.

''I was just trying to focus on the next shot, stay sharp,'' Enroth said. ''It's huge for us and it's good we could fi nally win a game with a power-play goal.''

The shots didn't tell all of the story of Enroth's workload, as the Canadiens had 24 more attempts that missed the net.

The 24-year-old doesn't get to play a lot behind No. 1 goalie Ryan Miller, but got the start in Montreal largely because he has never lost to the Canadiens. His record is 3-0-0 against the Habs.

''It's actually 4-0 - I won an exhibition game up here too,'' Enroth said with a laugh. ''It's always a lot of fun to play here. They've got a really good team this year, so this was probably the toughest win for me.''

Enroth may see more action in coming days. The Sabres have won only twice in their past eight games and En-roth was in net for both. He subbed for a sick Miller in a 3-1 win over the New York Rangers on March 12.

Ott and Tyler Ennis scored in the opening period for Buffalo. The Canadiens en-tered the third period down 2-0, but got goals from Max Pacioretty and Colby Arm-strong to tie the game.

But only 17 seconds into overtime, Montreal defen-seman P.K. Subban took an open-ice run at Mark Pysyk and missed, with his stick catching the Sabres defenseman for a high-sticking penalty.

Only two seconds remained

on the man advantage when Ott shoveled the puck past Carey Price for the game-winner. The Sabres went into the game with the NHL's worst power play.

''It's a bad penalty, especially with the effort the guys put in in the second and third,'' Therrien said. ''We're going to take care of that internally and make sure it doesn't

happen again.''

The Sabres ended the Ca-nadiens fi ve-game winning streak.

''We went through the mo-tions in the fi rst period,'' Therrien said. ''We weren't at our best, that's for sure, but we never quit. I thought the guys worked really hard to make a comeback. Enroth played really well for them. As long as the effort is there, I'm going to be satisfi ed.''

Sabres scoring leader Thomas Vanek limped to the bench after tak-ing a Christian Ehrhoff point shot off the hip area during a power play eight minutes into the second and did not return.

''We'll have to go day-to-day,'' Rolston said. ''He's limping around a bit. It will probably be a day-to-day, pain-tolerance thing.''

The Canadiens' failure to clear the puck from their zone led to two Buffalo goals in the opening period. Ott jumped on a loose puck and sent a shot in off the post from the slot at 7:47 and Tyler Myers had a point shot go in off Ennis' stick in front of Price at 18:59.

The Canadiens had an 11-2 shot advantage in the second period but failed to score, with Enroth's best stop com-ing off Michael Ryder.

Pacioretty fi nally scored on Montreal's 28th shot 7:04 into the third as he slid a shot in from the edge of the crease after some clever work by Brendan Gallagh-er behind the net.

Armstrong, with his second goal of the season, deked to the backhand to beat Enroth at 16:09.

''What you saw in the latter part of the game is where we're at right now,'' Rolston said. ''We had a two-goal lead, we played well, and then the confi dence of our team faltered a bit, especially after they got the fi rst one.

''I'm happy we caught ourselves, but that's where we're at right now. We have to build the confi dence in those games to be able to fi nish them off. That's another step.''

Bills are usually mediocre. The Sabres haven’t sniffed mediocrity since the third game of the season as the losses just keep piling up.

It’s not even that the losses keep piling up. Lots of teams lose games, but the Sabres are managing to do it in humiliating fashion this season. Let’s take a look back at some of those games that fans have prob-ably tried to block from their memory forever.

On Jan. 27, the Sabres took on a Washington Capitals team that entered with a record of 0-3-1 and a league-worst goal differen-tial of minus-9. The result: a 3-2 Caps win of course as the Sabres dropped their third straight game after the 2-0 star.

On Feb. 2, two days after beating the mighty Bruins in Boston, the Sabres laid an egg of epic proportions. The Blue and Gold went up to Montreal and wound up on the wrong end of a 6-1 beatdown. It was ugly from the start and never got any better. The next day, at home, the Sabres blew a late lead and lost 4-3 to Florida,

which we all know now is hilariously bad.

The Sabres managed to go a full two weeks without embarrassing themselves after losing to the pathetic Panthers, but then came a Feb. 19 home contest against the Winnipeg Jets. The Jets entered at 5-8-1 and were reeling after three straight losses. You can probably sense a theme by now. Yes, Buffalo fell 2-1.

The Feb. 23 contest against the New York Islanders might be the low point of the season. In the comforts of First Niagara Center, the Sabres took on the team allowing the most goals of any NHL team. The Islanders defense is terrible and their goaltending is laughable. What did that combination do to the Sa-bres? Try a 4-0 whooping.

Then just this past Sunday the Sabres got another shot at the Capitals, who had lost four of fi ve while getting outscored 19-7. In what seemed like the per-fect chance to turn the sea-son around, Buffalo played so poorly that it prompted the color commentators

to suggest that the Sabres were mailing it in.

And what about Lindy Ruff?

Ruff had been a former Sa-bres player and head coach of the team since 1997. After a nightmarish start to the season, Ruff was fi red on Feb. 20. Between his playing and coaching days, Ruff had been a part of more than half the games in the history of the Buffalo Sabres franchise.

The recent news of realign-ment probably didn’t ease fans’ suffering any. The prob-lem with this realignment is the sheer numbers. In the Eastern Conference, there are eight playoff spots for 16 teams. In the West, there are eight playoff spots for 14 teams. That’ll make a playoff berth that much harder for the Sabres in the future.

The season isn’t apt to get any better for fans. As the trading deadline approach-es, there is more and more talk of the team trading the likes of Ryan Miller, Thomas Vanek and Jason Pomenville. Say what you will, but the team will abso-lutely not be better without those three guys — in the

short term, or course.

There is more to be upset about for Sabres fans. The way management handled 18-year old prospect Mikhail Grigorenko was a joke, fan favorite Patrick Kaleta cemented his status as a dirty player with a fi ve-game suspension and the power play is nearing record futility. At an 11.5 percent success rate, Buf-falo’s power play is easily the worst in the league this season and actually the worst of any team since the 2004-2005 lockout. Not only that, but they’ve made an awful habit of allowing short-handed goals.

The most telling part is that fans have grown to despise their own team. On an online forum one fan summed it up pretty well by saying, “I love the Sa-bres, but I hate this team.”

It’s a growing feeling amongst fans. Expect more changes sooner rather than later.

2) Anaheim Ducks 21-3-4 Corey Perry extension and a 10-game point streak — good time to be a Ducks fan.

3) Pittsburgh Penguins 23-8-0 Forget point streaks, the Penguins have a 10-game winning streak after beating the Caps.

4) Montreal Canadiens 19-5-5 The Habs are 13-1-3 since what could have been a demor-alizing 6-0 loss to Toronto.

5) Boston Bruins 19-6-3 The Bruins are 19-2-3 against teams not named the Sabres or Penguins.

6) Los Angeles Kings 17-10-2 Jeff Carter leads the NHL with six game-winning goals as the Kings keep rolling.

29) Colorado Avalanche 10-14-4 A miser-able 3-7-2 stretch has sank Colorado to the bottom of the Western Conference.

By Stefan GestwickiStar Sports Editor

The American League had a couple of surprise playoff teams in 2012 with both the Oakland Athletics and Baltimore Orioles coming from left fi eld to crash the postseason party.

Don’t look for that to hap-pen again.

The American League is anything but balanced — at least on paper, of course. The Toronto Blue Jays, Detroit Tigers and Los Angeles Angels each took steps to signifi cantly im-prove during the offseason. Will any of those three be able to live up to the high expectations?

The following is a brief breakdown of each team and division in the Ameri-can League. Projected fi nish within the division is in parenthesis.

American League East

Baltimore Orioles (4th) — The Orioles were quiet in the offseason when some predicted they would try to bring in a free agent or two to bolster their playoff roster from 2012. The biggest move by Baltimore was letting strikeout king Mark Reynolds go to the Cleve-land Indians. This freed up playing time for 20-year old sensation Manny Machado at third base. The Birds have a tough hill to climb if they want to match last season’s success. There are a lot of people in baseball circles that simply feel Baltimore got lucky last season, as evidenced by its 29-9 record in one-run games. You’d be foolish to totally overlook the Orioles, however, as a lineup that includes Nick Markakis, Machado, Adam Jones, Matt Wieters and Brian Roberts is bound to put up some runs. The rotation isn’t exactly chalked full of All Stars, but closer Jim Johnson is automatic at the back end of a solid bullpen. Look for another 20-year old, top prospect Dylan Bundy, to see the Major Leagues at some point this season.

Boston Red Sox (2nd) — The Red Sox were a total train wreck in 2012. The injuries mounted almost as fast as the losses and the lineup Boston trotted out to the fi eld every night was unrecognizable. Everyone knows about the trade that sent Carl Crawford, Adrian Gonzalez and Josh Beckett to LA, but more important are the pieces Boston brought in to replace them. Shane Victorino isn’t the Flying Hawaiian he once was, but his presence in the lineup and locker room should be benefi cial. Boston got Mike Napoli at a bargain price after a hip injury voided the original deal and his right-handed power should terrify opposing pitchers in Fenway Park. Joel Hanrahan was been one of the top-fi ve closers in the league over the past three

seasons, albeit in Pittsburgh. Stephen Drew, Ryan Dempster and even Jonny Gomes are all upgrades over the Minor Leaguers that were wearing Red Sox uniforms last season. A healthy Wil MIddlebrooks, Dustin Pedroia and Jacoby Ellsbury should mean a return to the postseason. The rotation isn’t world-class but Jon Lester has been great when healthy and motivated. Hanrahan and Andrew Bailey make a devastating duo to close out games.

New York Yankees (5th) — Let the angry emails begin. Yes, fi fth place for the once-great Yankees. The injuries are just too great an obstacle. How many teams could withstand the loss of their starting center fi elder, fi rst baseman and third baseman and be perfectly fi ne? Kevin Youkilis can play one of the corner infi eld spots, but the Yanks have Eduardo Nunez penciled in at DH to begin the season and who knows at fi rst base. The Yankees had 10 players hit double-digit home runs last season. On Opening Day, eight of them won’t be in a Yankee uniform and shortstop Derek Jeter is coming off a horrifi c ankle injury. Losing Nick Swisher, Russell Martin and Raul Ibanez will hurt as much in the locker room as on the fi eld. Jeter and Ichiro Suzuki will probably hit 1-2 in the batting order, but the duo is a combined 77 years old. Not to be outdone, Hiroki Kuroda and Andy Pettitte will be the Nos. 2 & 3 starters and are a combined 78 years old. Between the advanced age, declining performance and serious injuries to Curtis Grander-son, Mark Teixeria and Alex Rodriguez, there’s just no way this team succeeds. That said, Robinson Cano is one of the best players in all of baseball and should be in the MVP conversation from Day 1. If teams are dumb enough to pitch to him, that is. It’s not like Francisco Cervelli offers a whole lot of lineup protection.

Tampa Bay Rays (3rd) — The Rays made head-lines when they traded away two-fi fths of their starting rotation in James Shields and Wade Davis to the Kansas City Royals. They got back stud pros-pect Wil Meyers, but many don’t see him beginning the season in the Major Leagues, so we’ll have to wait to see his much-antici-pated power. The other moves Tampa Bay made probably don’t help the team right away either. James Loney is awful at fi rst base, Yunel Escobar has a very low ceiling and Luke Scott struggled to get over the Mendoza Line last season. That said, Des-mond Jennings can be dymanic. Evan Longoria, if

healthy, should return to superstardom. Ben Zobrist is one of the unheralded stars of the league. Those three players will have to buoey the offense. The rotation could be the best in the league if the young guys reach their potential. David Price is a bone-fi de ace. Jeremy Hellickson and Jeff Neimann have both had their moments and Matt Moore and Alex Cobb have stardom in their futures. Fernando Rodney was untouchable last year, and while many thought it a fl uke, he has looked even better in the World Base-ball Classic. If the Rays are going to succeed, they’ll need to win a lot of 3-1-type ballgames. Luckily, they’ve proven to be quite good at that over the years.

Toronto Blue Jays (1st) — Talk about going all in. The Blue Jays took full advantage of the Miami Marlins’ fi re sale and snagged Jose Reyes, Mark Beuhrle, Josh Johnson and Emilio Bonifacio. They also signed last season’s fi rst-half darling Melky Cabrera and traded for National League Cy Young-winner R.A. Dickey. Sure, they gave up some prospects, but what a haul. The Blue Jays already have a solid lineup with Jose Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion launch-ing balls out of ballparks and Colby Rasmus, Brett Lawrie and J.P. Arencibia each coming into their own. People forget because of last season’s debacle in Miami, but Reyes is really, really good. This is a guy who hit .337 in 2011 and has led the league in triples four times. He walks a lot, steals a bunch of bases and plays very good defense at short-stop. He could very well be the American League MVP this year. The rotation is fi lthy. Dickey, Morrow, Buehrle, Johnson and Rickey Romero all have a track record of success. If Johnson is fully healthy, he could be the best of the bunch. It’s safe to drink the Kool-Aid, this team is stacked.

American League Central

Chicago White Sox (4th) — The South Siders surprised a lot of people by staying in contention late last year. Lefty Chris Sale broke out with a true “ace” perfor-mance and was rewarded with a healthy contract extension. Jake Peavy had a nice bounce-back year and Chicago will need another from the oft-injured star if it wants to be competi-tive again. The lineup is nothing to get excited about. Paul Konerko is still fl ying under the radar even though he’s put together — arguably — a Hall of Fame career. Adam Dunn will hit his fair share of home runs, but a sub-.200 batting average is just awful. Alex Rios had a return to form

also, but don’t be surprised if he reverts back to the frustratingly terrible Alex Rios of years past. Like most teams, the rotation will be key. After Sale and Peavy, things get shaky. John Danks was abysmal and hurt last year. Gavin Floyd won 12 games, but also had a 4.29 ERA. Jose Quintana is a bit of an unknown, but the White Sox brass is very high on his arm. Everything has to go perfect for Chicago to compete in the Central, but don’t expect it to.

Cleveland Indians (3rd) — The Tribe gave up fan favorite Shin-Soo Choo over the offseason, but acquired top pitching prospect Trevor Bauer in the process. The signing of Michael Bourn should help ease the loss of Choo and give the Indians a nice leadoff hitter who plays Gold Glove-caliber de-fense. The entire lineup looks good after Bourn. Jason Kipnis and Asdrubal Cabrera make up a stellar middle infi eld. Nick Swisher, Carlos Santana and Mark Reynolds should provide some pop while a team could do much worse than Lonnie Chisenhall, Michael Brantley and Drew Stubbs at the bottom of the order. It’s the rota-tion that will end up leaving Cleveland on the outside looking in come playoff time. Justin Master-son and Ubaldo Jimenez can be above average, but both have struggled as well. Brett Meyers wasn’t even good enough to start for Houston. A combination of Zach McAllister, Carlos Carrasco and Bauer will make up the rest of the rotation after Daisuke Matsuzaka was mercifully cut a few days ago. Chris Perez is a pretty good closer with a great beard, but was injured last year and will be relied on a lot as Cleveland probably won’t be blowing people away this year.

Detroit Tigers (1st) — It’s not really going out on a limb by picking the Tigers to repeat as Central champs, but how can you pick anyone else? With Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder anchoring the middle of the order and Justin Verlander taking the ball every fi ve days, what’s not to like about this team? Detroit signed Torii Hunter to add another bat and a veteran leader. It also re-signed Anibal Sanchez, who provides another swing-and-miss pitcher — which is important given the Tigers’ often-criticized defense. Doug Fister, Max Scherzer and Rick Porcello will make up the rest of the rotation and, while not dynamic, have the stuff to record outs and earn wins in Motown. The closer role may be the only question

mark on this team as rookie Bruce Rondon is penciled in to start the season. The fl amethrower was lights out in the minors last year, but has struggled with command a little bit during Spring Training. Phil Coke waits in the wings if Rondon should struggle, so Jim Leyland certainly has a nice insur-ance policy. The Tigers started slow last year and were actually in danger of missing the playoffs before reaching the World Series. Look for Detriot to run away with the Central this time around.

Kansas City Royals (2nd) — The pitching staff will be the strength of the 2013 Royals. When was the last time you could say that? But with the addition of James Shields, Ervin Santana and Wade Davis, it very well could be true. Jeremy Guthrie and Bruce Chen make up the rest of the rotation, but don’t exactly strike fear into opposing batters. The lineup is young, but loaded with potential. Eric Hos-mer was viewed as the key, but struggled mightily last year. Maybe his time on Team USA in the WBC helped him out. Billy Butler is a hitting machine and Mike Moustakas is another young stud at third base. Alcides Escobar had a great season last year and should be in for another. There’s no obvious super-stars in this lineup right now, but there might be a couple developed by the season’s end.

Minnesota Twins (5th) — Take a look at the rotation and try to con-vince yourself that this team will fi nish anywhere but last place in the Cen-tral: Vance Worley, Kevin Correia, Scott Diamond, Liam Hendricks and Mike Pelfrey. Yeah, pretty terrible. The sad part is that the Twins have a few really good hitters in the lineup. Catcher Joe Mau-er’s power is suddenly gone, but still gets on base with the best of them. Justin Morneau is only a few seasons removed from his MVP campaign and has been hitting in Spring Training. Josh Willingham thrived last season despite constant trade rumors. He’ll probably have to do deal with them again this year and Minnesota should be fi rmly entrenched in last

place by the end of May.

American League West

Houston Astros (5th) — The only reason to put the Astros fi fth is because you can’t put them any lower. If this was the NFL, there would already be talk about an 0-16 season for Houston. This team is really bad. Perhaps record-setting bad. If you listen carefully you can already hear the “Why does every team get an All-Star” argument that is bound to happen when Houston’s is announced. It’s a team that’s fi lled with players that strikeout a ton AND don’t hit for much power. Brett Wallace and Chris Carter are okay. Jose Altuve was an All Star last year. Matt Dominguez is a former Jamestown Jammer. That’s about all the positive that can be said about the Astros as they prepare to start their fi rst season in the American League. Oh, that and their farm system is loaded with talent after years of picking near the beginning of the draft.

Los Angeles Angels (1st) — The Angels are every-thing the Astros are, except the exact opposite. This team can hit, pitch and fi eld with the best of them. Mike Trout better already have a place on his mantle for the many MVP awards he’s sure to win starting this year. Albert Pujols and Mark Trumbo were scary enough, but then LA went out and signed Josh Hamil-ton away from the Rang-ers. Howie Kendrick and Erick Aybar form a pretty good middle infi eld and Peter Bourjos might be the only center fi elder better defensively than Trout, who will move to left fi eld this season. Chris Iannetta is nothing special behind the plate, but who cares? This team’s offense could be record setting. At fi rst glance, the rotation ap-pears top heavy. Jered Weaver and C.J. Wilson are both top-tier pitchers. Former Jamestown Jammer Jason Vargas had a few very nice years in Seattle and Tommy Hanson won 45 games in four years before being shipped out of Atlanta. Joe Blanton is probably just a spot holder and it wouldn’t be surpris-ing if the Angels made a trade for another starter before the July 31 deadline.

No obvious holes plus unlimited resources equals a West title for LA.

Oakland Athletics (2nd) — After the season they had last year, it would be foolish to count out the A’s for 2013. The pitching was unreal. The defense was fantastic. The offense always had just enough in the tank to get the job done. It was baseball the way baseball was meant to be played. Remember when Oakland was a perennial contender behind

Tony Pena passed around the shiny trophy and let all of his players offer their besitos, or little kisses. Robinson Cano passed around a phone as his teammates took turns receiving congratula-tions from Dominican Republic President Danilo Medina.

''We appreciate that from the presi-dent,'' Jose Reyes said. ''This win is all about the Dominican Republic. They were hungry waiting for this moment, and we did it.''

The Dominican Republic has its World Baseball Classic crown, at last.

Cheers of ''Dominicana! Domini-cana!'' rang out through the rain at AT&T Park all the way to the lively streets of Santo Domingo.

Edwin Encarnacion hit a two-run double in the fi rst inning that held up, and the Dominicans capped a dominant, unbeaten run through the WBC with a 3-0 win against Puerto Rico for the championship Tuesday night.

''Tomorrow will be a national holiday,'' said Moises Alou, the proud Dominican general man-ager. ''It was a tremendous win.''

Cano earned MVP honors, Erick Aybar added an RBI double to back winner Samuel Deduno, and the demonstrative Domini-can righty threw his arms into the air in delight after watching a run-saving defensive gem by center fi elder Alejandro De Aza in a tough fi fth.

The Dominican fans - fanaticos, indeed - didn't let the Bay Area's wet weather keep them from dancing in the stands, waving fl ags and tooting horns. Flags became makeshift ponchos.

It was fi tting, too, perhaps, con-sidering the World Series cham-pion Giants clinched the NL pennant against the Cardinals in a downpour on this very fi eld last fall.

Some 50,000 more supporters gathered to watch on televisions inside and outside of Estadio Quisqueya in the Dominican capital city.

''We want to enjoy every single moment, because we don't know if this group will be together again. I doubt it,'' Dominican manager Tony Pena said.

Now, the Dominicans get their long-awaited fi esta. A party they fi gured to have in 2009, when the Netherlands spoiled the plan by beating them twice for a stun-ning fi rst-round exit.

After Fernando Rodney struck out Luis Figueroa to end it, the Dominicans rushed the mound - each player waving his own fl ag.

Well, Rodney held up his lucky plantain that served him well for the second straight day. He won't eat this platano, which he said ''is going to be my second trophy.''

''This is my gold medal,'' he said. ''It will be my black diamond, because it's changing color. I kept telling everybody to relax and not to worry about (the pressure).''

The Dominicans (8-0) won it in the city where countrymen Felipe, Jesus and the late Matty Alou made history in 1963 when they appeared in the same Giants outfi eld for several games. Moises Alou is the son of former San Francisco skipper, Felipe.

No matter their team, Caribbe-

ans had so much to cheer in the championship of a tournament missing the star-studded Ameri-can team yet again. The U.S. failed to reach the fi nal for the third time in as many WBCs.

And Puerto Rico eliminated two-time reigning Classic champion Ja-pan with a 3-1 victory Sunday night to make in all-Caribbean fi nal.

This game gave new meaning to the idea of a Caribbean champi-onship.

Deduno followed up a fi ne outing in a win against the Americans last Thursday with another strong performance that will send him back to the Minnesota Twins with some nice momentum.

Deduno struck out fi ve in fi ve scoreless innings, allowing two hits and walking three to fi nish with a 0.69 ERA for the tourna-ment. And Rodney struck out two and fi nished for his seventh save as the bullpen closed out this special run with 25 2-3 score-less innings. The relievers didn't allow a run after the fourth in-ning of their fi rst-round victory against Puerto Rico on March 10 in San Juan.

In the top of the fi fth, the grounds crew scurried out to rake the mound after it became

slippery in the rain and Deduno walked Alex Rios on fi ve pitches to lead off the inning.

After Carlos Rivera fl ied out, De Aza ran down Andy Gonzalez's long fl y to the gap in left-center and made a reaching snag at the warning track with his back to the infi eld.

Deduno then walked Jesus Fe-liciano. Pena paid the pitcher a mound visit but stuck with him, and Deduno struck out Angel Pagan swinging after falling behind 2-0. Deduno pumped his fi sts again as he charged off the mound and was surrounded by celebratory teammates.

In the bottom half, De Aza did it with his bat. He snapped an 0-for-12 stretch when he laid down a perfect bunt single to-ward third.

The Dominicans became the fi rst unbeaten WBC champion, beat-ing Team Puerto Rico for the third time in this Classic.

And now they earn the distinc-tion of world champion, too - the fi rst time in WBC history.

Cano had a big hand in it.

The New York Yankees star fi nished his sensational Classic batting .469 (15 for 32) with two

home runs, six RBIs, six runs scored and two doubles. The 15 hits are a WBC record. He also earned MVP honors in each of the fi rst two rounds. Encarnacion fi nished with six WBC RBIs.

After drawing a pair of inten-tional walks a night earlier, Cano had another in the fi rst inning against loser Giancarlo Alvarado.

The Puerto Rican right-hander surrendered Encarnacion's double two pitches later, and was done after one shaky inning featuring 22 pitches and only 10 strikes.

Hiram Burgos relieved and struck out fi ve in 4 2-3 innings.

''We didn't have a lot of big names,'' Puerto Rico manager Edwin Rodriguez said. ''The people who were here wanted to be here. They had a mission, and that was to give everything. I think that's an example of what can be accomplished when you have interest and you really put your passion toward a cause.''

After Miguel Tejada started at third base and Hanley Ramirez played designated hitter a night earlier in a 4-1 semifi nal win against the Netherlands, Ramirez returned to third and Aybar was back in the lineup at DH. Tejada replaced the Dodgers' Ramirez at third in the sixth and made a diving catch in the bullpen area in which he landed hard on his left side and came up grimacing.

Ramirez was lifted because he jammed his thumb lunging for a groundball. Mosies Alou said Ramirez would be examined further.

Pena's move paid off as Aybar doubled and singled and Ramir-ez added a base hit in the win-ning effort.

''I'll tell you one thing: Tonight we're going to celebrate, tomor-row we're going to celebrate, and Thursday we're going to worry about spring training,'' Cano said.

Major League Baseball Com-missioner Bud Selig was among those to attend the game - avail-able on television to 440 million households worldwide in 200 countries and territories, and in 15 languages - that drew 35,703 fans on a cool, drizzly March night at AT&T Park.

No obvious holes plus unlimited resources equals a West title for LA.

Oakland Athletics (2nd) — After the season they had last year, it would be foolish to count out the A’s for 2013. The pitching was unreal. The defense was fantastic. The offense always had just enough in the tank to get the job done. It was baseball the way baseball was meant to be played. Remember when Oakland was a perennial contender behind

the Big 3 of Barry Zito, Mark Mulder and Tim Hudson? We might be in for that era again with Jarrod Parker, Brett Anderson and Tommy Milone. The big question is simply if the lineup can put up enough runs to support to solid pitching staff. Coco Crisp, Brandon Moss and Scott Sizemore are castoffs from other teams, but played a vital role in Oakland’s postseason push last year. Yoenis Cespedes is a star in the making and Josh Reddick proved what he could do with a full season worth of at-bats. Shortstop Hiroyuki Naka-jima was signed out of Japan and fi gures to provide a solid batting average and a little speed on the bases. An organiza-tion like Oakland is always

fi lling holes with young guys from the minors, so what you see on Opening Day probably won’t contain the key player or two that will lead this year’s push.

Seattle Mariners (4th) — Hurray! The Mariners fi nally signed some players who can hit. Michael Morse and Kendrys Morales may not elicit thoughts of Babe Ruth, but they are a signifi cant upgrade over what Seattle fans had to watch last year — and every season in

recent memory since the A-Rod-Griffey days. The lineup is fi lled with guys that “experts” projected to be stars but have thus far disappointed. Dustin Ackley, Franklin Gutierrez, Jesus Montero and Justin Smoak need to produce for the Mariners to compete in a tough division. Kyle Seager was a nice surprise last year and there’s no reason to think he won’t have a repeat season. Felix Hernandez can go about business as usual with a mammoth contract exten-sion inked. Hopefully having all that money tied up in one player won’t handicap the Mariners, who don’t exactly play in a huge market like New York or Chicago. Seattle will be better in 2013 than it’s been for the past few years, but

don’t expect a huge jump in the standings with LA, Oakland and Texas all looking better on paper.

Texas Rangers (3rd) — Josh Hamilton and Mike Napoli — the Rangers lost more than any team in the division. To add insult to injury, Hamilton went to division-rival Los Angeles and Napoli is with Boston, with whom Texas will probably be battling with for a wild card spot. The lineup can still be formi-

dable with Ian Kinsler, Elvis Andrus, Adrian Beltre and Nelson Cruz, but you have to wonder how much those other guys benefi tted from having Hamilton in the lineup for all those years. This could be the year starting pitcher Yu Darvish breaks out in a big way. He started painfully slow last year, but when he was on, there weren’t many Major League hitters that could touch him. Derek Holland and Matt Harrison round out a nice top-three starters while Alexi Ogando and Colby Lewis have had stretches of dominance in their careers. The Rangers ran away from the fi eld last year before struggling to the fi nish line, maybe they’ve learned from that and can chase down the Angels.
