By Katy WiseContributing Writer
She’s here!As my readers may be aware, we’ve been expect-ing a third addition to our little brood. Elisabeth Kate made her arrival on May 7. This week seemed fitting to talk about some ideas for baby arrival announcements, and maybe share a few stories from our first full week as a family of 5.
The Facebook AnnouncementSocial media has really changed the way that we do things today. It’s completely socially accept-able to announce big life events on Facebook (after telling immediate family and close friends, of course). For those who aren’t familiar with Facebook, it’s a great tool to stay in touch with family, both near and far. A few years ago, the thought of sending a digital Christmas card or using Facebook to let folks know about an engagement or baby was a definite no-no. But, times are changing and it’s becoming more and more of a go-to for this sort of thing.We announced Ellie’s arrival, and within an hour of her being born, family as far as California knew about our exciting day. It’s fast, and a whole lot easier than calling 50 people!
The photo postcardSending a postcard is a pastime that dates back to the beginning of the mail service. But it’s still a perfectly acceptable way to tell people about a baby’s arrival, and give them a nice little memen-to for them to hold on to.There are lots of services that you can use to cre-ate postcards. Vistaprint is a great, low-cost op-tion you can order online. There’s also Snapfish, and they’ll make prints you can pick up locally in Walmart or Walgreens. Obviously, this option isn’t as cheap as Facebook, but it’s a nice personal touch that many still enjoy.
Newborn PhotographyIt’d be good to mention newborn photography here. There are many great and talented local photographers you can book to take some beauti-
ful pictures of your newborn.When you’re planning your photo session, remember to book it before your baby’s grand de-but. Your baby’s best photos will be within a few weeks of when they’re born, and you’ll want to have that scheduled before your world gets turned into a cute mess of diapers, cuddles and milk. Most photographers will have all the props and sets needed to make the session as precious as it can be, but, it’s important to come prepared as well. Make sure your baby is as squeaky clean as possible, and (if they’re on any kind of a schedule) try to get them fed right before, or soon before, you go. A fed baby is a happy baby!Finally, prepare yourself mentally. Things may not go exactly as you plan, but that’s part of the fun of having a newborn! It’s an adventure in flexibility. And at the end of the day, you still get to hold that precious little one, and that makes it all worthwhile.Having a professional photo may cost a little bit more, but you’ll not regret it when you look back on those in the future and remember how sweet and precious your little newborn was!Thanks for reading!

Volunteers who are building a home on Patterson Street in Mayville – Chautauqua County’s Mid-County Habitat for Humanity - were slowed due to the deep freeze during the 2014 winter, according to Mike Ricketts, Mid-County coordinator.Currently headed for a finished product, work picked up last summer by enclosing the house and installing electric and heat, which made it possible to work on those cold days this past winter, Ricketts recalled. “As we ap-
proach the completion of the third Habitat Home in the Mayville Area, there is a need for additional volunteers to help with landscaping, painting and all the odds and ends needed to get to the finished product,” he said. “If all goes well, and we get enough volunteers, I estimate a finishing date within the next eight weeks.” Extra help on occasions comes from various parts of the county as illustrated recently when members of the SUNY Fredonia girls’ volleyball team spent a Saturday pitching in. It didn’t take long for
Sara Madison, MeganCollins, Saverina Chicka, Kelly Edinger, Jessica DiChristopher, Jane Garrity and Lauren Hollaj to help where needed, mostly because they had lent a hand last year.Then there’s Cindy Shuff, who lives along Route 394 not far from the Chautauqua Golf Course. She has provided Saturday snacks since Habitat’s first under-taking four years ago. Although Habitat headquarters pays for the coffee, treats are provided by volun-teers. “I have a list of 30 people I can call to bring treats,” she said.
When Cindy takes a vacation, she has stand-ins who take over. This past winter, those who filled in during her absence were Pam Howard, Lisa Best and Karen McCann. The Bottomley Family also has been waiting for the house to be fin-ished. Rose and Tom, having been chosen as the future owners, also are able to keep an eye on progress because they live across the street in a much smaller house. More room is needed as their four daughters, Cait-lyn, Haley, Emma and Lillian, are growing up fast as all youngsters do.
One of the require-ments for potential owners of a Habitat house is that they must spend 500 building hours on their future home. This is a plus for Tom because he has been with Mayshark Builders for 12 years.Everyone who helps build a Habitat house – whether weekly, monthly or when able to pitch in – is usually asked why they do it. Conrad Howard has been a human resourc-es retiree for six years, and this is his third consecutive Mayville undertaking. He also has worked on a home in Sherman and one
in Lakewood. As all are asked, why does you do this? “Because I like building things and helping people” is his reply. “There’s good fellowship with the workers and the family, too.”Then there’s Victoria Templeton who lives in Bemus Point and was asked her first day “on the job,” how she heard about the Mayville project. “I read it in the paper,” she replied, and noted that she wanted to do something to help others and can do so on Saturdays.Bob Reynolds, whose

The 4th Annual Com-munity Wide Yard Sales for Mayville and Chautauqua NY, as well as the surround-ing area, will take place on Saturday, May 23. There are many sales signed up to take place that day. A sales address list and accompanying map is available, at no cost, at chamber member
businesses along Route 394 from Mayville to Chautauqua. Look for the yard sales post-ers designating them as chamber member businesses. They will also be available on the Mayville Chautauqua Chamber Facebook Page, the Chamber web site – www.may-villechautauqua.org, emailing to [email protected], or by calling the Mayville/Chautauqua Community Chamber

daily job is in Mainte-nance at Chautauqua Lake Central School, is a Habitat board member and Site Coor-dinator for Mayville’s mission. His response to the “why” question: “I do it to give back to people who support me. It’s basically the right thing to do – give back to the community.”When Ricketts, who retired nine years ago, heard about the possibility of Habitat coming to the May-ville area, he and wife Kathy decided to become involved. “For me, it has been an op-portunity to meet some really good people,” he said. “Our volun-teers are a dedicated, committed group of individuals who have chosen Habitat as their way of giving back to the community. Through Habitat, one person can make a dif-ference.” Ted First of Chau-
tauqua is the project coordinator for this and the previous Mayville Area Habitat homes. Ted and his wife, Debra, have been involved in Habitat for 30 years, and they are responsible for getting the Mayville group established.Persons interested in lending a hand need only show up any time after 9 on Saturday mornings at 7 Patter-son Street, Mayville. For more information or questions, give Mike Ricketts a call at 716-753-7831.SUNY Fredonia’s vol-ley ball team recently visited Mayville Habit for Humanity to help with the construction of a new home. They are, kneeling from left, Lauan Hokaj, Jane Garrity and Megan Collins; back row from left, Soura Moadison, Kelly Edinger, Jess DiChristopher and Saverinae Chicka. This
was their second time to help with fun, too.Rose and Tom Bottom-ly eagerly await their new home in Mayville. Because of the 2014 “deep freeze” winter, completion of the Habi-tat project in Mayville will take longer than expected. Meanwhile, their daughters, Cait-lyn, Haley, Emma and Lillian, eagerly await their new digs. The lady, second from left, on her fi rst day with Habitat is Victoria Templeton who lives in Bemus Point. After reading about it in the paper, she wanted to do something to help others and Saturdays are good timing. The four others have been with Mayville’s Habi-tat since it began four years ago.

Once again during this Memorial Day season, the Lake Erie Blue Star Mothers, New York Chapter 4, will re-dedicate their Gold Star Memorial to local Gold Star heroes and families. Originally established in May of 2013, this third-year re-dedication ceremonywill be held on Saturday,May 23 at 10 a.m. at the recently established
Veterans Memorial Park on West Third and Logan Streets in Jamestown. Since its inception during WWII, the national Blue Star Mothers or-ganization has existed to provide support for active duty service personnel, to promote patriotism, and to assist veterans’ organizations in our communities. Membership in the Blue Star Mothers is comprised of those who now have or have had
children honorablyserving in the US Military. Chautauqua County’s local chapter (NY Chapter 4) has been actively pursuing opportunities to sup-port military personnel and their families since 2007. The Gold Star designationrecognizes a family who has lost a son or daughter in the service of the United States. Blue Star Mothers strive to honor these families with great re-
spect and appreciationfor those family mem-bers left behind, along with the greatest reverence for those who made the ultimate sac-rifi ce for their nation. Since September 11, 2001, Chautauqua County has been stricken with ten deaths in Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom and beyond. Desiring that these sac-rifi ces never be forgot-ten, the local Blue Star Mothers chapter has secured the privilege of honoring Chautau-qua County’s local Gold Star families in a meaningful and endur-ing way. As part of the new Veterans Memorial Park in Jamestown, the Blue Star Mothers have established a memo-rial display in tribute to our local fallen sons
and daughters and as an honor to these Gold Star families left behind. This memorial includes a monument rock with a plaque honoring the fallen sur-rounded by annually- fl owering cherry trees. A 10 a.m. ceremony will include the pres-ence of many local dignitaries including NYS Senator Cathy Young, NYS Assembly-man Andrew Goodell, Chautauqua County Executive Vince Hor-rigan, Jamestown Mayor Sam Teresi, and Jacqueline Chiarot from the offi ce of US Representative Tom Reed. A 21-gun salute and Color Guard will be presented by local Veterans organizations. The participation of the local Patriot Guard, solemn musical tributes
and a bagpipe bene-diction will also be in-cluded in the program. Keynote speaker for the memorial dedica-tion will be Retired Major General Barclay Wellman, Command-ing General of the 98th Infantry Training Division, U.S. Army Reserve (1988-1992). The public is invited to attend this ceremony and dedication honor-ing those whose sac-rifi ces will never be forgotten. Seating will be limited, so those in attendance are invited to bring a chair. For those interested in knowing more about the mission of the Blue Star Mothers, please email Susan Rowley at [email protected], or phone (716)499-6897.

Faith is simply the ver-dict we render of God. Either we testify of His salvation, goodness, power, and provision or we press charges against Him as being aloof and indiff erent. At all times you are
standing at the witness podium declaring what God is in your life. Your reaction to life is your testimony. Most have rendered God as being an absentee Father. Others have testifi ed that He is the perpetrator of the circumstances they wish to be free from. But from the lips of the faithful streams a con-stant sworn testimony that convicts God of being their strength. God is always on trial in the court of your opinion. The verdict you render of Him there will determine what He becomes in your life.Hebrews 11:11 says, "Through faith also Sarah her-self RECEIVED STRENGTH to
conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, BECAUSE SHE JUDGED HIM FAITHFUL THAT HAD PROMISED." When Sarah, Abra-ham's wife, was well stricken in years she be-came pregnant with the son that God promised to Abraham. The cir-cumstances were grim. Her body did not func-tion like that of a young woman. Every natural circumstance said that she would never be a mother. But, in the realm of God, there was another reality available to her. The natural circumstances acted like a fi erce prosecutor. The truth of God's Word was her only defense attorney. God was on trial in the court of Sarah's opin

Mayor Sam Teresi will once again take to the streets of Jamestown as part of his weekly Residential Neighbor-hood Walking Tour Program. The Mayor will launch his 2015 weekly tour series on a door-to-door basis along Howard Street from South Avenue to Montauk Avenue. The walk will take place on Tuesday, May 12, at 6:30 p.m. This Walk-ing Tour will be the fi rst in a series planned throughout the city’s diverse neighborhoods during the summer and fall months of the year. Mayor Teresi initiated the Walking Tours in 2000 at the same time he launched his regu-
lar Business Visitation Program. The Walk-ing Tours have served as a valuable oppor-tunity for citizens to express their concerns and questions directly to him and other staff members. Mayor Teresi com-mented, “The Neigh-borhood Walking Tour Program actually grew out of my fi rst campaign for Mayor in which I repeat-edly heard the refrain: ‘The only time we see or hear from elected offi cials is when they are in campaign mode and looking for some-thing…namely a vote!’ “I made the decision and pledge, right then and there, that if I was elected, I would walk the neighborhoods of Jamestown, not only during election
campaigns, but on a regular basis during the “walkable” times of every year. And, that is exactly what we have been doing and will be starting up again for the 2015 season on Howard Street.” The Mayor contin-ued, “Since becoming Mayor, I have found the Walking Tours extremely valuable, as one of many ap-proaches, to seek out and stay in touch with what is truly impor-tant in the minds of the people that I work for...the residents and the taxpayers of New York’s ‘Pearl City’.”“The Walking Tour program has also provided an invaluable opportunity over the years to see up close

No! For Sarah HER JUDG-MENT was needed for God to move on her be-half. God needed her verdict of His power. So many people are missing these moments in their lives and they are becoming con-
vinced that God doesn't hear them. What did Sarah do?It says, "Sarah received strength...because SHE JUDGED Him faith-ful that promised." The word "judgment" means to render an opinion, to decide after deliberation, and to determine. Sarah delivered a powerful testimony that said, "God is strengthen-ing my body, God is faithful, I will have this child." As she judged God, He became ex-actly what she judged Him to be. Speak the words, "The Lord is the strength of my life." (Ps
27:1) Many people take the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior but few have re-ceived Him as Healer. Say, "The Lord is my Healer." You must pass this judgment for God to become these things in your life. Sarah received because Sarah judged properly."God is my peace, my joy, my provision forever!" Pray this: "Lord, I judge you to be faithful. You are my Savior, Healer, and Provider." Don't be deceived to believe that God decides alone what He will be in your life. He is waiting for your verdict.

The State University of New York at Fredonia has released an economicimpact report detailing the results of a third-party study conducted to determine the univer-sity’s infl uence on the local, regional and state economy.The study, which focused on Fredonia’s 2012-13 fi s-cal year (ended June 30, 2013), revealeda total economic impactof more than $157 mil-lion annually in the “local” region, which the study defi ned as the mu-nicipalities of Fredonia, Dunkirk and Sheridan. The university’sregional impact, which includes all of Chautau-qua, Erie and Cattarau-gus counties, exceeded
$204 million, annually, while statewideimpact surpassed $330 million.The study, conducted by the University at Buf-falo’s Regional Institute and commissioned by Fredonia’s Division of Engagementand Economic Develop-ment, develops a baseline of key impact indicators, shedding light, through data and quantitative analysis, on Fredonia’s contributions to the lo-cal, regional and state economy. Members of the UB Regional Insti-tute will give a presenta-tion about their fi ndings on Friday, May 22 at 11 a.m. at the Fredonia Technology Incubator, 214 Central Ave., in Dunkirk.With 1,780 faculty and staff , 5,214 enrolled stu-dents, 421 faculty retir-
ees, 42,736 alumni and 87,755 annual visitors during 2012-13, Fredonia is a hub for people and a source of community and economic vitality. Generated revenues of $140 million in 2012-13 supported spending of $215.4 million by the university and its employees, students and visitors, fueling demand for businesses and service suppliers across Western New York and beyond.The study defi nes the university’s economic im-pact as the organization’s infl uence in a geographic area as a result of its income and expense-generating activities. The cycle begins with the university’s eff orts to attract revenue from a variety of sources, including state aid, grants, tuition and other revenue. It continues as
it allocates those dollars to purchase goods and services, pay wages and salaries, deliver academ-ic programs, and hold special events. Those dollars circulate further into the economy as companies reinvest them in their businesses and as individuals spend them on and off campus.“We are very proud of the role we play in the economic vitality of the region, and we wanted to be able to better quan-tify this for our many audiences and con-stituents,” said Dr. Kevin Kearns, vice president for Engagement and Economic Develop-ment at Fredonia. “This undertaking refl ects Fredonia’s commitment to the values outlined in its strategic plan and its mission statement, and reinforces the important
role Fredonia has in the cultural, intellectual, and economic growth of the region. It also gives us a starting point by which to measure future growth and success.Fredonia’s Division of Engagement and Economic Development facilitates and supports university-community collaborations that enhance the intellectual, cultural, artistic and economic vibrancy of the region. Such collabora-
tions include active com-munity engagement and partnerships with local and regional organiza-tions, governments, busi-nesses and universities.There is no fee or regis-tration process required to attend the May 22 presentation, which is open to the public.

ON THE [holographic] stageNational Comedy Center
World's First Hologram Comedy Club
Contributed ArticleNational Comedy Center The National Comedy Center (NCC) announced today that it will partner with Hologram USA (HUSA) to build the world’s first Hologram Comedy Club at its $18 million new campus in Jamestown, NY breaking ground in August 2015, and scheduled to open in August 2016. The NCC and HUSA will cel-ebrate and forever preserve the classic routines of some of the world’s comedic legends by recreating their most iconic historical performances. The holograms will grace the stage throughout the day in a clas-sic comedy club environment so that audiences can have a lifelike experience with these acts that no archival film clip can give. “Of all the amazing things we’ve done with hologram technology, this is one of the most exciting ones,” said Alki David, CEO of Hologram USA. “As a permanent home for this advanced form of entertainment, the NCC couldn’t be better. And I can’t think of a better way to experience Amer-ica’s comedy greats than in the live setting they thrived in at their peaks.”
The National Comedy Center will honor and celebrate comedy and its contributors across all time lines and media types with its world class interactive and personally-customized exhibit experience, celebrate the best of contemporary comedy with its year-round programming and provide support for new and up-and-coming artists through professional development and educational opportunities. The National Comedy Center is the embodiment of the vision that Lucille Ball had for her home-town of Jamestown, NY, which was that her legacy be celebrat-ed in the form of living, breath-ing comedy. In addition to the Hologram Comedy Club, visitors to the NCC will be immersed in many other unique “only here” interactive and participatory ex-periences throughout its 35,000 feet of attraction space. “We are thrilled to announce this partnership with Hologram USA,” Tom Benson, Chairman of the NCC added. “The Na-tional Comedy Center will take guests on a high tech experi-ential journey that will at once be unique, educational and fun. The hologram comedy club will transport guests back in time as a part of this journey which will
allow them to experience and enjoy classic performances as if they were seeing them live. This is a perfect example of what the National Comedy Center is all about.” Holograms are the newest field in the entertainment industry and Hologram USA is the exclusive North American provider of the HD technology that creates the only truly lifelike experiences. It is the same tech that was used to create the famous Tupac Shakur hologram at Coachella and the Jimmy Kimmel Country Music Awards appearance. Re-cent news of projects resurrect-ing Liberace, Buddy Holly, Ray Charles and more have stirred enormous interest and HUSA is working with Hollywood studios and leaders across the music industry to expand this market. The NCC was recently awarded a $1.5 million grant by New York Governor Andrew Cuomo who praised it as the first national comedy attraction and em-braced it as a key component of the long term tourism strategy of New York and the I LOVE NY
campaign. The NCC is a division of the National Comedy Center, Inc., a not for profit 501 (c)(3) organization that also owns and operates the Lucille Ball Desi Arnaz Museum in Jamestown and produces the Lucille Ball Comedy Festival every summer. It will be housed in a state of the art adaptive reuse of his-toric properties in Jamestown, including the recently renovated Gateway Train Station. The mas-ter plan and detailed designs for the components for the National Comedy Center were developed by the leading attraction design firm of Jack Rouse Associates in collaboration with the interactive consulting firm of Local Projects, Inc. who recently completed the 9/11 Museum Project in New York. At the NCC’s Hologram Comedy Club, audiences will also have the opportunity to view living legends on stage—and even live performances beamed by Hologram USA’s ‘telepresence’ capabilities from a distant city.

North Shore Arts AlliancePresents An Exhibition Entitled “Mother Nature Awakening”At Sensory Winery And Art GalleryContributed ArticleNorth Shore Arts Alliance
In an event that began on May 10, enjoy the sudden advent of “summer” with a drive along the vineyards just beginning to bloom! The picturesque ride will take you to the Sensory Winery and Art Gallery in Ripley on Rt. 20 surrounded by those very vineyards. Stop for the celebration of “Mother Nature’s Awakening” and enjoy the views inside as well as the harvest from the winery. The official reception is Friday, May 15 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Don’t miss that op-portunity for wine tasting, refreshments and meeting the artists who created the work. Ten juried artist members of the North Shore Arts Alliance (NSAA) are exhibiting work in a group show celebrating “Mother Nature’s Awakening” in many interpretations from the nurturing of mother-hood to the loving gift of nature blossoming. Paintings, sculpture and photography will inspire and enhance the feeling of the joy and beauty the season gives us.

The show continues a partnership between Sensory owner Kevin Daughrity and the North Shore Arts Alliance. The collaboration is based on a mutual passion for art and an enthusiasm for local art-ists. He, also, uses original artworks for his wine labels. The Sensory Winery and Art Gallery space lends itself remarkably well to a vari-ety of different media and leads the viewer in and around the works.Sensory Winery and Art Gallery is a sponsor of NSAA’s signature event, the Chautauqua-Lake Erie Art Trail.

Physical Activity & Fit-ness Guidelines - Spe-cial PopulationsOne of the principles that will help you stay active is, listen to the science. The sci-ence states the aver-age American adult should get 2 1/2 hours of physical activity every week at least at a moderate-intensity. More time and greater intensity offers more health and fitness
benefits. The Ameri-can College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and the United States De-partment of Health and Human Services (USD-HHS) also recommend 2 sessions of strength training activity every week - such as lifting weights or hiking with a pack.This recommendation is for the average adult. However, not everyone fits into that category. What if you are a senior? A child? Have a chronic condition? Special needs? Or are pregnant?There are recommen-dations for you too. Everyone benefits from exercise, regardless of your age or health condition.
Let’s start with kids. We are all aware of the childhood obesity issue which unfortunately promotes adult obe-sity and its subsequent health and wellness issues. Lack of playtime and physical activity is a key contributor. In addition to reducing obesity and improving self-esteem, cardiovas-cular and muscular fitness, improved bone health, reduced symp-toms of anxiety and de-pression are all benefits of exercise in children and adolescents. The science suggests at a minimum, 60 minutes or more of physical activity, daily. The activity should be age-appropriate and just like adults, enjoy-
able and offer variety. Vigorous exercise, muscle and bone strengthening activity are all encouraged on at least 3 days. Vigor-ous examples include, running and chas-ing (like tag), bicycle riding, jumping rope, soccer, field hockey, basketball, swimming, flag football, dancing, martial arts, tennis and cross-country ski-ing. Muscle building examples are games and climbing like tug of war, playground play, exercises like push-ups and sit-ups. Bone-strengthening activity includes games with hopping, skipping, jumping, running and sports like gymnastics, tennis and volleyball.
Older adults should aim to achieve 150 minutes per week as much as physical limi-tations allow. Addition-ally, adding in exercise that improves balance, flexibility and strength is key. Activities like water aerobics, danc-ing, doubles tennis and golf are great activities to keep you limber. Finally, talk to your doctor or healthcare provider about your limitations and fitness level before starting a program.If you have a chronic condition (such as diabetes, arthritis, high blood pressure) or if you have a disability (such as from a spinal cord or brain injury, mul-tiple sclerosis, a limb
amputation or demen-tia) again, talk to your healthcare team so they are aware of your plan. They will give guidance on preventing injury and other health issues. Your doctor will be pleased and want to monitor your progress. Most conditions and your overall health and wellness improves with regular physical activity. Pregnant and post-partum women are permitted to continue exercise while pregnant at the level before they got pregnant. Also it is ok to start exercis-ing during pregnancy, however, make sure your doctor is aware and spread the activity

The pull-up, one of the toughest exercises imaginable; pulling your body weight into mid-air using mostly your arms and back muscles!! Certainly no easy feat. Especially not for two 15 year old friends, who have been consistently coming to the gym for 8 weeks now, trying to complete their first one. To them, this lift
signifies more. There is meaning attached to the movement; a story unique to them lying within. One friend walks up to the bar… Breathes deeply…sets his hands, adjusts his grip…“3,2,1.” He counts down… then, PULL. He hears his friend clapping and cheering ecstatically while he pulls with all of his might, all of his strength, and all of his WILL… until the moment his chin shows above the bar. Breathe out…Relax, the rep is complete.Many times we’re led to believe once a rep is “over” it’s the end of the story. We say no
more can come from it. Boy, are we wrong. There is more present, waiting to be uncov-ered, and DISCOV-ERED. If only we take time to give it recogni-tion. Once a rep ends, its true purpose has only just BEGUN. What do I mean?Let’s first realize the aforementioned pull-up represents more than just another lift. It’s the work a pair of 15 year old friends accom-plished over the past 8 weeks. The bond forged through sweat, trial, and triumph; and the brotherhood created which will not easily be forgotten. The single pull-up is a culmination of the highs and the
lows, the trials and the defeats which were en-countered TOGETH-ER during the 8 week period. The pull-up has captured their focus in the gym; it’s all they’ve talked about, all they’ve strived to accomplish. Time spent working on it has been their release from the outside world, stresses of their day, and worries of their mind.This time is their opportunity to truly feel FREE.There is POWER in this, if you choose to see it. Which again is why I say, the end is only the BEGINNING. When we take time to discover our own stories, we recognize how every small action
can carry big impact, and how every rep can carry meaning. We re-alize the lessons learned in “Fitness” can be applied in our everyday lives, and bonds formed can become strong more quickly than our bodies. When we take the time to discover these stories we see a “pull-up” become much more. We watch “Fitness” reach far beyond the physical body. And we see why these stories truly matter. They are the stories of LIFE.What is lying within your Pull-Up?Fitness Can Be Greater.

Donna Heister, a Silver Creek resident, stands for much of her day working as a hairdress-er, a vocation she has enjoyed for almost 40 years. Last year, chron-ic back pain associ-ated with scoliosis and rheumatoid arthritis left her in a physically and emotionally fragile state. With the condi-
tion becoming progres-sively worse, Donna could no longer stand up straight and re-quired the assistance of a cane for balance and mobility. Even more disheartening than the physical discom-fort, however, was the prospect that she might no longer have the abil-ity to interact with 17 grandchildren the way she enjoyed. Donna required surgery for restoration back to health and wellness.
After having orthope-dic surgery, Donna be-gan receiving Physical Therapy (PT) services at Brooks. Often called “a hidden gem” by healthcare providers in the area, Brooks offers both inpatient and out-patient PT for all ages. “After surgery, I couldn’t eat. I was weak and thin. I had a port in my arm for infusions and had difficulty moving,” Donna states. “There were days when I
became really discour-aged, but my physical therapy team wouldn’t let that happen. They made therapy fun and interesting, with lots of encouragement and support. They told me to keep trying and not to get discouraged. If I missed an appointment, they would always call to make sure I was okay. It’s almost like having family. They’re a fantastic group,” she adds.Brooks has a large
inpatient PT popula-tion, particularly with orthopedic surgery patients, but also a robust outpatient ser-vice offering for those having orthopedic, neurologic, vestibular (balance-related) and sports medicine needs. New, patient-friendly outpatient hours are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 7:30 am – 4:30 pm; Tuesday and Thursday from 7:30 am – 6 pm in ad-dtion to inpatient only
hours on Saturday from 8 am – 11 am.For questions about Brooks’ full range of in-patient and outpatient PT services, please contact us at 363-3092 or visit us on the web at www.brookshospital.org/physical-therapyre-habilitation.

Heart failure is costing Americans a fortune. The estimated cost of the disease in the U.S. was $31 billion in 2012. That number is esti-mated to swell to $70 billion by 2030, accord-ing to the American Heart Association -- which means that by 2020, every U.S. tax-payer could pay $244 each year for heart failure expenses.Heart failure is not only a financial bur-den, but the condition reduces the quality of life for patients and can increase their risk of serious and sometimes fatal medical emergen-cies.Counter to these sober-ing facts are the results of a recent study, which found that a new medical technology can successfully reduce heart failure hospi-tal admissions when managed by a physi-cian, and improve the quality of life among patients experiencing limitations of physical activity due to their cardiac disease.This new technol-ogy, called the Car-dioMEMS HF System, directly measures pulmonary artery pres-sure.

Data shows this is a much more eff ective measure than the indi-rect markers patients have traditionally used to monitor heart failure at home, such as taking and track-ing their own blood pressure or weight on a
home scale.Using a miniaturized, wireless monitoring sensor implanted in the pulmonary artery during a minimally invasive procedure, the CardioMEMS HF sys-tem directly measures pulmonary artery pres-sure and transmits the data from a patient’s home to his or her health care provider. These measurements then allow for real-time, personalized and proactive management to reduce the likelihood of hospitalization.“Since heart failure is a chronic disease, most days are spent outside the hospital,” says William Abraham, MD, chief of cardio-vascular medicine at The Ohio State Uni-versity Wexner Medical Center and primary in-vestigator for a clinical study investigating the technology’s effi cacy. “Accurately monitoring heart failure from home gives physicians the information they need to signifi cantly improve a patient’s heart failure treatment.”Results from the CHAMPION clinical trial found that those managed with pulmo-nary artery pressure monitoring showed a signifi cant reduction in 30-day hospital read-mission rates for pa-tients age 65 and older, as well as a signifi cant improvement in quality of life as measured by the Minnesota Liv-ing with Heart Failure Questionnaire.Potential adverse events
associated with the implantation procedure include, but are not limited to infection, arrhythmias, bleeding, hematoma, thrombus, myocardial infarction, transient ischemic at-tack, stroke, death, and device embolization.To learn more about this technology and for heart failure in-formation resources, visit www.heartfailure-answers.com.Thanks to treatment advances and techno-logical breakthroughs, heart failure patients are living longer and enjoying an improved quality of life.

BASEBALL, SOFTBALL TAKE CENTER STAGE ACROSS CHAUTAUQUA COUNTYBy Stefan GestwickiStar Sports Editor
While the weather wasn’t ideal, the high school baseball and softball seasons were in full swing early this week. Games were played in rain, wind and cold, but the talent that this area sports was still undeniable. Baseball RoundupDunkirk 8, Falconer 4Jeydin Schrantz ripped a pair of doubles, Randy Coo-per added three hits and the Dunkirk Marauders (3-10) snapped a fi ve-game losing streak with a 8-4 win over Falconer in a CCAA West 1 clash on Tuesday.Freshman Devon Farnham-DeJesus was the benefi ciary of the off ensive outburst, earning the win in relief after starter Nick Thompson dealt with an injury. Farnham-DeJesus struck out fi ve in four innings of work.The Golden Falcons were led by Chris Elderkin, who col-lected a pair of hits and an RBI in the loss. Gowanda 14, Southwestern 1The Gowanda Panthers must have been amped up to be playing in Russell Diethrick Park because they came out swinging the bats with a purpose on Tuesday.Gowanda put up four runs in the top of the fi rst inning and never looked back. Another four-run Panthers out-burst in the third inning all but sealed the Trojans’ fate. Southwestern was unable to solve Gowanda hurler Matt Kruszka, who went the distance while allowing just six hits.Silver Creek 14, North Collins 6Silver Creek rode sophomore Chris Williams’ arm to a 14-6 win over North Collins, Tuesday at Silver Creek High School.Williams held North Collins out of the hit column until Brandon Zielinski doubled to lead off the seventh inning. The wheels fell off a little bit at that point as a pair of er-rors led to something of a North Collins comeback, but Evan Ward came in and closed out the win.Clinging to a 2-1 lead headed into the bottom of the third inning, the Black Knights exploded for eight runs to blow the game wide open. Brad Rybak and Elliot Martin each
collected two hits for Silver Creek while the duo combined for fi ve runs driven in.Fredonia 7, Falconer 0Jarod Burmaster spun a complete-game, nine-strikeout shutout to lead the Fredonia Hillbillies past the Falconer Golden Falcons, 7-0, Monday in CCAA West 1 action. The win improved Fredonia’s record to 14-3 overall and 10-1 within the division.Fredonia’s off ense wasn’t able to muster much until a four-run outburst in the bottom of the fi fth inning gave

The Most Irrelevant Sports
Teams (Pt. 4)By Stefan GestwickiStar Sports Editor
Editor’s note: This is Part 4 of a four-part series. The NFL, NHL and NBA versions are available on starnewsdaily.com.
IRRELEVANT MLB TEAMS, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 26I was driving with a friend the other day when talk of Phillip Rivers get-ting traded to the Tennessee Titans came up on sports radio.That got us thinking: Which team is the most irrelevant in each of the four major sports? The Titans have to have a good claim, no? There are theoretically worse teams, but is there a team that matters less to the casual NFL fan? I joked at the time that the topic would make a good commentary, but the more I thought about it, it really would. So let’s take a look at the candidates for each of the four major professional (North American) sports and I’ll give you my picks at the end.This isn’t all about wins and losses. In fact, I hope winning percentage is a minor detail. Star power, market size, history — these are the things that matter.The candidates:MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALLTampa Bay Rays: Imagine for a minute that the Rays didn’t play in the American League East. Say they played in the National League Cen-tral and routinely played teams like Cincinnati and Milwaukee instead of the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox. The Rays matter a tiny bit right now only because they play against teams that matter. Yes, those few years of success after dropping “Devil” from their name were fun, but the Rays’ attendance numbers have always been a total joke. Add that to the fact that before they were making the playoffs, they were the worst team in professional sports. Attendance, though, is really the key here. Miraculously they aren’t last this year. Tampa Bay sits a robust 29th out of 30 teams (Cleveland is last, but you have to think that’s due to weather and will change when the North gets a little warmer). The Rays were dead last in attendance in 2014, 2013 and 2012. In 2011 (a year in which the team won 91 games and went to the playoffs), the Rays were 29th. Part of this is being in Florida. Part of this is being an expansion team. Whatever the reason, however, the Rays are clearly irrelevant.
Minnesota Twins: I don’t like putting the Twins on this list because they certainly have a lot of history. I love watching those highlights of Kirby Puckett, Jack Morris and Kent Hrbek winning the World Series against the Braves in 1991. And those tiny payroll teams of the early 2000s that seemingly defied all odds to dominate that division (only to routinely get swept by the Yankees in the first round of the playoffs) were a treat for a baseball fan, too. But being a Midwest team automatically is a strike against a pro sports team. That’s just the way it is. East Coast bias is a real thing. The fact that the Twins haven’t been anywhere near relevant in the standings recently certainly doesn’t help their case. Their star player ( Joe Mauer) has been exceedingly average the past few years. Yeah, this is just an irrel-evant team in my book.Seattle Mariners: No team has ever had the star power without success quite like the Mariners. The
likes of Randy Johnson, Alex Rodri-guez, Ken Griffey, Jr., Ichiro, Felix Hernandez and Robinson Cano have given the Mariners and their fans some of the very best individu-als in the entire league. That has led to the second-longest active playoff drought in baseball. This team hasn’t made the playoffs since 2001. Only the Blue Jays (who probably could have been on this list) and their 21 years of postseason-less base-ball are worse off. The other thing all Seattle teams have going against them is a lack of a true geographical rival. They’re so far away from all the other teams, even those within their own division, that it’s hard for a fan base to truly dislike the Mari-ners. Hating a team makes them relevant, even if they’re terrible. The Mariners, for having a couple great players, are still terrible on the field. They’re boring and terrible and ir-relevant.Colorado Rockies: Stuck in a division with the Dodgers and the
Giants, the Rockies are probably never going to matter. They’ve man-aged to turn one of the most skilled players we’ve seen in the past 20 years (Troy Tulowitzki) and make him unmarketable and unnotice-able. Part of that is him getting hurt, but part of that is the Rockies never, ever mattering even a little bit. They did make the World Series back in 2007 after a crazy winning streak to get into the playoffs, but they were promptly swept. Even as I write this, the Rockies are in the midst of a 10-game losing streak. A streak of that many games should matter, but it doesn’t. Because it’s the Rockies. I hate to rag on them too much, but if the Rockies never played another game, I wouldn’t notice. And I’m about as big of a baseball fan as they come. I’m pretty sure that alone is enough to put them on this list. It's my list, after all. Milwaukee Brewers: The Brew-ers matter to me on a personal level because I absolutely detest this team. But that’s me as a life-long Pirates fan, not as an objective sports writer. As a writer, there are few teams that matter less than the Brewers. Since 1983, the Brewers have made the playoffs exactly twice, losing in the NLDS in 2008 and then losing in the NLCS in 2011. They’ve also made it their mantra to instigate brawls and employ hotheads and cheaters. Well, that might be my Pirates fan coming out a little bit, but you can’t argue that Carlos Gomez and Ryan Braun are exactly what I described. One of the biggest reasons the Brew Crew is on this list is star power. After Robin Yount, Paul Molitor and Braun, the Brewers have a barren history. Jeff Cirillo, Ben Sheets and Geoff Jenkins are 7th, 8th and 11th in WAR, respectively in franchise history. Do any of those guys scream “star” at you? The only thing that has made this team relevant in recent years is the Braun scandal. I imagine Brewers fans would relish being irrelevant over that scenario again.Honorable mention: Kansas

Empire Region Selections Are RepeatersContributed ArticleFSU Sports Information Dept.
FREDONIA, N.Y. -- Two of the most decorated players in Fredonia women's lacrosse history have added one more honor.Katie Kleine (Cazenovia, N.Y./Cazenovia) and Marissa Cussins (Corn-ing, N.Y./Corning-Painted Post West) on Monday were named to the 2015 Empire All-Region Team by the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association.For both, it's a case of been-there, done-that. Kleine has now made the all-region First Team for four straight seasons -- the fi rst Fredonia player to do so. Cussins is now a three-time First Team all-region choice. She is second only to Kleine for most all-region honors received by a Blue Devil.Cussins is Fredonia's leading scorer this season with 85 points (59 goals and 26 assists), while Kleine has 79 points (31 goals and a single-season school record 48 assists).Both will have a chance to add to their 2015 totals when the Blue Devils meet Washington & Lee at 3 p.m. Saturday in the NCAA Division III re-gional round Saturday. The game will be played on the campus of Franklin and Marshall in Lancaster, Pa.

Rodeo Camp Held At Gerry Rodeo GroundsContributed ArticlePaul Cooley
Twenty-two young aspiring cowboys and cowgirls spent this past Saturday learning the basics of rid-ing broncs and bulls at the free Rodeo Camp at the Gerry Rodeo Grounds. The event, sponsored by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association, is one of only 13 such camps nationwide and featured instruction by three professional cowboys – Rick LaDuke from California, Kenny Feidler from Maryland, and Chris Prang from Pennsylvania.The students learned about the sport of rodeo with emphasis on livestock safety and were given actual riding instruction aboard the PRCA’s mechanical bronc and mechanical bull. These camps are held across the nation to promote the sport of rodeo in the hope that some of the participants will some day choose to be a part of rodeo on a high school or college level or even as a professional.In addition to the instruction, the young people got to meet, get autographs, and have photos taken with Miss Rodeo New York 2015, Cheyenne Shufelt, and Miss Teen Rodeo New York 2015, Emilya Washeleski. Both girls will also be in attendance at the 71st annual Gerry Rodeo, sponsored by the Gerry Volunteer Fire Department, scheduled for four performances, August 5-8.Rodeo chairman, Tom Atwell, says it was an honor for Gerry to be selected for this event and it speaks well for the history of the Gerry Rodeo. He added that a special thanks goes to Maplevale Farms, who provided food for the free lunch for the participants.Additional information about the Gerry Rodeo is available at the website www.gerryrodeo.org or by phone at (716) 985-4847 or toll free at 1-888-985-4847

fan. Always have been. Always will be. So it pains me to put them on this list, but I can’t just ignore the fact that prior to 2013, the Pirates had 20 consecutive losing seasons. They were still a popular draw in Pittsburgh, but outside of the city, few people cared about the Buccos, I’m sure. With the Royals, they might be No. 1 on this list had they not just made a World Series run. From 1986 until last year, they didn’t make the playoffs once. I was BORN in 1986. They hadn’t made the play-offs in my lifetime. Star power is another strike against Kansas City. Did you know Kevin Appier is second in career WAR for this franchise? Kevin Appier. You know, that mediocre-at-best start-ing pitcher. Obviously George Brett was one of the best the game has ever seen, but that was 30 years ago. They’ve had nothing since then. Until this exact moment, of course. Still, I’d listen to arguments that either of these honorable mention teams belong on the list.Well, I said I’d pick my definitive answers from each league at the end of this series, so here it goes:THE MOST IRRELEVANT SPORTS TEAMS:NFL: Tennessee Titans.NHL: Florida Panthers.NBA: Minnesota Timberwolves.MLB: Colorado Rockies. And the winner of the most irrelevant team in all of the four major North American professional sports: The Florida Panthers, ladies and gentle-men. Part of this is that the NHL is totally and completely irrelevant in itself south of the Mason Dixon line. When you’re irrelevant within an ir-relevant sport, you have to be crowned the “win-ner” of this little contest.I really enjoyed writing these pieces. I hope you enjoyed reading them, as well. Did I miss any teams? I’d love to continue this conversation. Send me an email at [email protected] and I promise to get back to you.

NASCAR’s All-Star Race Has Been A Dud Of LateBy Jenna FryerAP Auto Racing Writer
CONCORD, N.C. (AP) -- The lore of NASCAR's annual All-Star race has been building since 1987, when Dale Earnhardt's ''pass in the grass'' gave him the victory.That exciting third installment of the All-Star race was followed by plenty of stellar finishes - Rusty Wallace's 1989 victory over a spinning Dar-rell Waltrip in a race dubbed ''The Tide Slide,'' or Davey Allison's 1992 door-to-door battle with Kyle Petty that sent Allison to the hospital after he took the checkered flag on ''One Hot Night.''But the reality is those kinds of finish-es don't happen very often anymore.In fact, the All-Star race has been a bit of a dud for almost 10 years now.There's been a handful of highlights, mainly involving Kyle Busch, and mostly for the off-track drama cre-ated by on-track incidents.Busch and big brother Kurt wrecked each other in 2007 racing for posi-tion, and it triggered a feud that still isn't completely healed. They went six months without speaking, finally breaking the ice when their grand-mother requested a peace agreement for Thanksgiving dinner.In 2010, Kyle Busch tried to pass teammate Denny Hamlin for the lead when Hamlin threw a block that sent Busch into the wall. A livid Busch radioed his team he was ''go-ing to kill'' Hamlin after the race.

CHAUTAUQUA STARFRIDAY, MAY 15, 2015 35NASCAR’s All-Star Race Has Been A Dud Of Late
By Jenna FryerAP Auto Racing Writer
CONCORD, N.C. (AP) -- The lore of NASCAR's annual All-Star race has been building since 1987, when Dale Earnhardt's ''pass in the grass'' gave him the victory.That exciting third installment of the All-Star race was followed by plenty of stellar finishes - Rusty Wallace's 1989 victory over a spinning Dar-rell Waltrip in a race dubbed ''The Tide Slide,'' or Davey Allison's 1992 door-to-door battle with Kyle Petty that sent Allison to the hospital after he took the checkered flag on ''One Hot Night.''But the reality is those kinds of finish-es don't happen very often anymore.In fact, the All-Star race has been a bit of a dud for almost 10 years now.There's been a handful of highlights, mainly involving Kyle Busch, and mostly for the off-track drama cre-ated by on-track incidents.Busch and big brother Kurt wrecked each other in 2007 racing for posi-tion, and it triggered a feud that still isn't completely healed. They went six months without speaking, finally breaking the ice when their grand-mother requested a peace agreement for Thanksgiving dinner.In 2010, Kyle Busch tried to pass teammate Denny Hamlin for the lead when Hamlin threw a block that sent Busch into the wall. A livid Busch radioed his team he was ''go-ing to kill'' Hamlin after the race.
''I had this race won! It was won!'' he screamed.Aside from that kind of drama, only the most rabid fans can remember many of the ho-hum finishes of the last decade. Jimmie Johnson has won four of the last 12, Kurt Busch and Kevin Harvick both have victories in that same stretch, and all three should be among the most dominant drivers in Saturday night's running at Charlotte Motor Speedway.So what's the problem with the All-Star race?For starters, there's nothing really ''all-star'' about the event. This year's running is a 110-lap affair with prob-ably 20 drivers competing - a little less than half the regular, 43-car
field running what's in essence just a shortened version of any other race on a mile-and-a-half track.Sure, the event is divided into seg-ments and concludes with a 10-lap sprint to the finish for the $1 million prize.Only problem? Time and time again the current rules package has shown that, barring a late caution or fluke finish, the driver that wins the restart will win the race. Clean air means everything in NASCAR, and 10 laps just aren't enough for a driver to chase down the leader.Oh, and that part about laying it all out on the line for the chance to win the big prize? Well, $1 million doesn't mean the same to today's
crop of drivers as it did when the race debuted in 1985. Drivers aren't rac-ing anymore to buy groceries or tires or to pay the travel to the next week's race.A lack of true rivalries in the sport leaves little incentive for a driver to take many risks for a $1 million prize, a payout the team owner is taking at least 40 percent from. Nobody wants to tear up equipment or wreck some-one in a meaningless race.Some suggestions to improve the race:- Put more money on the line. Dangle a prize out there that might actu-ally entice a driver. Charlotte Motor Speedway President Marcus Smith firmly believes the $1 million to the winner - the highest payout in any NASCAR event - is still a meaning-ful payday. But as he was surrounded last week by the money in neatly wrapped bundles, Smith admitted he'd double the prize to $2 million if NASCAR ran the race with no rules for car setups.- Smith's idea of not using a rule package is actually a strong draw for the competitors and fans. It would put some ingenuity and creativity into car design and setup, and for one race legalize any attempts to, ahem, cheat and get outside of NASCAR's current box. When Smith ran the idea past Chad Knaus, the six-time championship winning crew chief suggested keeping the decision secret until 48 hours before the track opened. Giving them too much notice would give too much creative time.

Lake Erie Fishing HotlineContributed ArticleNYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation
The special black bass season is in eff ect on Lake Erie and its tributar-ies up to the fi rst impassible barrier only. Anglers can use natural/live bait and can keep one bass per day, with a minimum size limit of 20 inches. Bass fi shing on all other waters in western New York is by catch and release only, artifi cial lures only, until the 3rd Saturday in June. Tiger muskellunge season also opens on May 2nd on the inland waters where they occur. Tiger muskellunge remains closed on Lake Erie, Niagara River and Lake Ontario until the 3rd Saturday in June.Cayuga Creek Trout StockingDEC has added Cayuga Creek as a new trout stocking site for 2015, off ering another trout fi shing option for anglers in the greater Buff alo area. Over two stocking increments on April 13th and April 22nd, Caledonia Fish Hatchery stocked 3,150 yearling rainbow trout over a one-and-a-half mile stretch of Cayuga Creek within Como Lake County Park in Lancaster. Trout were stocked in 5 locations from just above Como Lake, upstream to the park pavilion on Bowen Road. This section of stream has unlimited public access on both sides of the creek.Lake ErieEarly yellow perch trips have been successful and walleye season kicks off on Saturday, May 2nd. Anglers will be able to launch at
most access sites this week-end. Launches at Barcelona, Dunkirk, Sturgeon Point and Buff alo boat harbor are open and have at least one launch dock in. At Cattaraugus Creek, anglers can launch at the state launch and Town of Hanover launch, however no launch docks are in at present. Anglers have reported good early season perch action, including some limit catches. There have even been some walleye catches mixed in. Depths around 50 feet be-tween Cattaraugus Creek and Sturgeon Point are good starting points. Live emerald shiners fi shed near the bottom works well for perch.The harbors are good spots for smallmouth bass when the special sea-son opens on Saturday. These areas warm quicker than the open lake, drawing in smallmouth bass. Anglers at Buff alo Small Boat Harbor have seen decent yellow perch and crappie at times. Perch and sun-fi sh can also be found in other sheltered areas with weeds around the greater Buff alo Harbor.Lake Erie TributariesCattaraugus Creek is currently in the best shape its been all spring. The smaller streams have moderate to low and clear fl ows. There are still decent numbers of steelhead in the creeks, consisting mostly of drop-backs. Smallmouth bass are moving into the lower ends of the tributaries and action has been excellent at times. Woolly buggers and minnow imitation patterns are good bass off erings for fl y anglers, and spinning anglers generally do well with stickbaits and natural baits like minnows, crayfi sh and worms.Upper Niagara RiverLake Erie ice is gone and the ice boom has been removed. With warm-ing river temperatures, look for the yellow perch and sunfi sh bite to pick up at harbor, bay and inlet sites. Small minnows, worms or grubs are good baits. Also look for crappie schooling in the backwater areas of Tonawanda Creek, between the confl uence with the Erie Canal and the Niagara River. Anglers usually catch some rainbow trout at this time of year from the Bird Island Pier and Broderick Park. Target trout by drifting egg sacs and minnows, or by casting spoons and spin-ners.Chautauqua LakeWalleye season opens on Saturday, May 2nd. Targeting walleye along shallower shoreline areas at night is a good early season tactic. Boaters can slow troll with stickbaits and worm harnesses, or drift and work jigs with nightcrawlers or leeches. Shore anglers can connect by casting stickbaits, especially in areas near stream inlets. Anglers were recently seeing good crappie catches at times in the canals and at open lake sites, as well as plenty of perch and bluegill in the same areas. On the open lake, target crappie in 6-10 feet of water in the sheltered bays and around structure. Recent crappie catches have been reported at Lake-wood Bar, Rock and Grass Islands, Ashville Bay, Burtis Bay and off Mayville. Catches are best from before dusk through dawn. Small jigs (1/32 and 1/64 ounce) with a small minnow, one inch tube or other small plastic and fi shed under a pencil fl oat works well.
