South of the Border
By Katy Wise Contributing Writer
The Wises love Mexican food. All of us love all of it. Okay, maybe I’m exaggerating a little bit, but it’s definitely a favorite in the Wise household. Of course, we don’t make authentic Mexican food – but we do our best to get close to it! Actually, when we were first married, one of my favorite memories was when my husband and I would really splurge on the budget and ‘cook’ Mexican lasagna. Now, when I say this, please remember we were newlyweds and I didn’t know much about cooking. My husband could grill, but our skills (at least we think) have improved a little bit over that time! We’d buy real ground beef – which was, at the time, a splurge for us – and a box kit with shells, pre-made sauce and instructions. But, we thought we had hung the moon with our homemade authentic dinner. Oh well. Live and learn. But it gave us some fun memories of cooking together! Since then, we’ve added our three kids to the mix and taught them (as any good parent would, of course) to love Mexican food as much as we do. Quesadillas are a family favorite, as is guacamole, salsa, tortilla chips, Spanish rice, etc. etc. This recipe was one that I came to by combining some ingredients we had around with some experimental cooking. But, it was a hit! I guess you could call it ‘Mexican Goulash.’ It was pretty easy, and you can tweak it and make it your own! Not to mention, it’s really pretty healthy. We used whole wheat pasta and lean beef, and the per-serving amount of cheese isn’t much. Because, well, you can’t have Mexican food without cheese. Ingredients: • 1 lb ground beef • 1 1/2 tsp. Cumin • Chili powder to taste • Pepper • 1 Garlic clove minced • ½ white onion, minced • 1 can diced tomatoes • 1 cup corn • 2-3 Cups whole wheat elbow pasta • Chopped bell pepper • ½ to 1 C. cheddar cheese (Mexican cheese might be better, but all we had was cheddar!)
Directions: 1. Cook the ground beef in a large skillet until brown and drain. 2. In a separate pot, cook the pasta in boiling water according to directions and drain. 3. Add ½ C. water to ground beef and summer while adding cumin, chili powder, pepper and garlic clove. Simmer, stirring frequently for 5-10 minutes or until sauce thickens. Note, you may need to add a little bit of water to spread the spices around – but not much. 4. Add diced tomatoes (you can use the kind with green chiles in them for an added kick!) and corn. 5. In a separate pan, sauté the bell pepper and add to the rest. 6. Now, using a medium-large serving bowl, combined the pasta and the rest of the ingredients slowly, mixing together well. 7. Grate the cheese (if it isn’t already shredded) and put it over top. The beef should be hot enough to melt it. Then, stir it in. 8. Add toppings like sour cream, hot sauce, cilantro.Black beans would be a great addition, too. 9. Crunch some tortilla chips on top and voila! Mexican goulash! Enjoy your fiesta, and as always, thanks for reading HBK!

MERRITT SLUSH BUS AND WINERY RECEIVE CCIDA FINANCING, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5 in need of working capital, this $12 million loan fund is a key economic resource for local industry. Providing financing for Merritt Estate Winery’s new Slush Bus is just one more innovative way we are working to assist local businesses with expanding their markets and increasing sales and job growth.” According to Kristine Morabito, CCIDA Business Development Manager, the CCIDA Board of Directors approved a $192,787 AL Tech RLF loan for machinery/equipment and working capital for Merritt Estate Winery, Inc., as part of a $385,000 project. Plans included a sales room expansion and remodel, introduction of their new Slush Bus to market the company’s famous wine slushies, an upgrade to their bottling and labeling equipment, a power upgrade and updated computers. The AL Tech RLF funds were used to finance the Slush Bus, sales room expansion and working capital components of the project. Jason Merritt explained that doubling the sales room will allow them to handle a larger volume of people during wine trail events and their own two festivals along with improving their ability to host small groups and educational seminars. The Slush Bus will allow them to market their popular wine slush at more events. The power upgrade has been a long time coming, and the new bottling line will offer flexibility of using screw cap closures and offering single serve bottles to restaurants. Jason said, "These upgrades to our infrastructure will continue to bolster our brand awareness in both our local and regional markets. Additionally The Slush Bus will allow us to attend events that were cost prohibitive in the past due to labor and setup costs. It's the ultimate adult ice cream truck! We are truly grateful to the CCIDA and County Executive Horrigan for allowing us the opportunity to make this crazy dream a reality.” He continued, "We are also enjoying the opportunity that Mayor Rosas and his staff have afforded to us. They have been extremely easy to work with, which is a blessing in itself. This administration is doing great things for the City of Dunkirk and we are extremely happy to be a
part of the revitalization of this area." Mayor Rosas said, “The City’s Music on the Pier concert series has been fortunate to have the presence of the Merritt Winery Slush Bus. We have received many compliments. The Merritt Winery Slush Bus is very much a part of our Music on the Pier, and we look forward to working with Merritt Winery in the future years to come.” Upcoming events where the Slush Bus can be found include Music on the Pier on Thursdays through September 8, America’s Grape Country Wine Festival at the Chautauqua County Fairgrounds on August 12-14, and Merritt Estate Winery’s Septemberfest on September 10-11 at their Town of Sheridan location. With a very active event schedule, additional tasting opportunities can be found at http://www.merrittestatewinery.com/. About Merritt Estate Winery - Located on a Town of Sheridan estate that has been in the family since the 19th century, Merritt turned the estate into a fully functioning winery in 1976. Since then, son Jason Merritt joined the family operation and the father-son team has grown the business into a very successful operation producing over 27 award-winning wines. The winery is known for its signature “Bella Rosa” 100% concord wine. Merritt Estate Winery wines have taken multiple gold medals from the New York Finger Lakes International Wine Competition to the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition in California. They offer Reds, Whites, Specialty and Wine Slush Mix. The winery can also create custom wine labels for any occasion.

Back to School Fun Ways to Help Ease Kids Back into the Classroom Contributed Aticle StatePoint
After a summer of fun, getting back into the swing of the classroom can be difficult for students of all ages and family backgrounds. But parents can help, say experts. “It’s easy for parents to feel like there isn't enough time to add more activities to an already packed schedule. But, there are many easy ways you can set the tone of making learning fun, ease the back-toschool transition, and foster literacy skills at home,” says Jon Reigelman, creative director of the National Center for Families Learning (NCFL). Reigelman suggests seeking out free resources, such as Camp Wonderopolis, a virtual camp and online learning tool available to all families, libraries, schools, and community organizations. It can be a great weekend or after-school activity for busy families that can be completed at any pace. The site features “Maker” projects that can be created with items found around the house, and virtual, collectible Wonder Cards that can be earned by interacting with the site. Getting kids into an out-of-classroom learning habit now will set them up for future success. (Looking ahead to winter break or next summer, the program is also a great tool for combatting the learning loss common during vacations!) To register, visit camp. wonderopolis.org. For younger kids, NCFL offers these great back-to• school tips for families. • Choose a letter of the day. Look for the chosen letter in any printed materials you see -the newspaper, street signs, billboards, or advertisements. Make up a silly sentence using only words beginning with the letter of the day. (For example: Cats can cuddle. Dogs don’t drive. Amy always acts awake.) • Singing songs can be a literacy activity.
Try this twist: Sing short songs like “Row, Row, Row Your Boat” several times, leaving off the last word each time until there are no words left. This activity always produces giggles from children and parents alike. Play “Guess Who.” Describe a cartoon character, celebrity or historical figure. Allow a guess after each detail is disclosed. Expand your child’s vocabulary by using unusual words, and then explain their meanings. Take turns. Listen carefully to your child’s descriptions, especially his or her choice of vocabulary. Encourage your child to paint a picture of the character with his or her words. At the end of the game, compliment your
child on any unusual or new words used. • Talk to your child about his or her day. Pretend to be a television reporter. Try questions like “what was the most surprising (curious, funny, eventful) thing that happened today?” You are giving your child opportunities to increase vocabulary, recall and reflect, and you are receiving a more detailed version of the time you spent apart. Be prepared to answer the same questions. You and your child will begin looking for events to report to each other. The beginning of the school year can be hectic for everyone. Help kids get a leg up on their lessons by boosting literacy skills at home.

Energizing Breakfasts for Weekday Mornings Contributed Article StatePoint
Greens for breakfast might sound unconventional, but starting the day with vegetables is a fantastic way to check off some of the daily requirements for vitamins and minerals, plus get the energy needed to stay full and focused all morning. If your family isn’t exactly keen on greens, these simple breakfast items can ease everyone into a healthier morning routine. Satisfying Smoothie Bowls Smoothie bowls are sweet and satisfying -- and meant to be eaten with a spoon. Thicker than a typical smoothie, these delicious bowls are a mix of fresh and frozen produce, blended with your choice of superfoods and toppings. Include leafy greens such as kale or spinach and seeds like chia or hemp for a power-packed breakfast. Add avocado for a silky texture, then top with fresh berries, nuts or seeds. Pumped-Up Pancakes Use a high-powered blender, such as the Vitamix Professional Series 750, to whip up pancakes with a secret ingredient -- zucchini. Mix chopped zucchini right into the batter and your family won’t even notice that their favorite breakfast treat has an extra boost of antioxidants and Vitamin C. For a less intense green color, peel the zucchini before blending into the batter. Make-Ahead Savory Muffins Muffins can be sweet or savory and are easy to take on the go. Create tasty,
satiating breakfast muffins with a crust made of blended cauliflower, spinach, eggs and spices. Mold the crust into the bottom of muffin tins, top with an egg and bits of cooked bacon or ham, and bake for a make-ahead breakfast item. Silky Green Smoothies Smoothies are a great grab-and-go breakfast item that can be customized to each family member’s tastes. A handful of fresh greens can increase the nutritional value of nearly any smoothie recipe. Use the natural sweetness of fruit as a camouflage for vegetables. Pineapples, oranges and grapes are particularly good ingredients to marry with vegetables. Apples can offset greens with a slight bite. Experiment to figure out your favorite combinations, increasing the amount of greens as your family becomes more accustomed to them. To get started, try this recipe for a Basic Green Smoothie: Ingredients: • ½ banana, peeled • 1 ½ cups green grapes • 1 medium orange, about 5 ½ ounces, whole, peeled but with pith intact • 1-inch thick slice pineapple with core, peeled • 1 ½ cups packed fresh spinach Directions: • 1/8 teaspoon grated lime zest or • Place ingredients into blender in thin slice of lime with peel, about the order listed and secure lid. If 1-inch diameter using a Vitamix blender, select • 2 Tablespoons agave nectar Variable 1. Turn machine on and • 1 cup ice cubes slowly increase speed to Variable
10, then to High. • Blend for 30 seconds, or until desired consistency is reached. Subtly incorporating vegetables into your family’s diet can help expand palates and get the day off to a strong start.

County Hosts Craft Beverage Summit Contributed Article Office of the County Executive
The Chautauqua County Department of Planning and Economic Development, County of Chautauqua Industrial Development Agency (CCIDA), and Cornell Cooperative Extension of Chautauqua County recently hosted a Craft Beverage Summit at the Lake Erie Research and Extension Laboratory in Portland. The event opened with remarks from Vince Horrigan, Chautauqua County Executive, and Kevin Sanvidge, Director of the Department of Planning and Economic Development and Administrative Director of the CCIDA, about the progress the county has made while outlining the goal of leveraging additional growth in the industry. “We can expand our craft beverage industry by not only encouraging growth in production and sales, but by leveraging tourism and the success of Lake Erie Wine Country,” said Horrigan. “Both tourism and the wine industry are anticipated to expand and draw additional tourism dollars to Chautauqua County, which in turn will lead to additional jobs and income.” The Craft Beverage Summit focused on educating those interested in joining the burgeoning craft beverage industry. The day included speakers from across the state who shared their experiences with growing hops, barley, and grapes; malting barley; starting a brewery, winery, cidery, and distillery; transitioning from growing grapes to wine making; and marketing and distributing their products. Those in attendance included Western New York farmers, brewers, vintners, and those looking to take their idea to the next level. The program also included a summary of research into the Brewery Supply Chain of New York State and the need to increase production of hops and barley to meet the demand of New York State Farm Breweries. Together this diverse group of presenters painted a picture of hard work, reward, and opportunity. “The Craft Beverage Summit brought together

tives to strengthen the existing wineries and the wine trail, while at the same time helping launch the next wave of craft beverage entrepreneurs “This summit was one aspect of larger efforts to spur greater investment locally and it will lead to additional growth for farmers and beverage makers in Chautauqua County,” said Sanvidge.

Price is Artist-In-Residence at Forest Hill Gatehouse
Contributed Article North Shore Arts Alliance
The North Shore Arts Alliance has announced that local painter Cecelia Ivy Price is Artist-In-Residence at the Forest Hill Gatehouse in Fredonia, which the non-profit arts association rents from the Fredonia Preservation Society as its headquarters. In her studio at the Gatehouse’s location at 57 Lambert Street, Price is producing a new body of work based on art history research and reference photos taken while on a scholarship-funded study program in Italy. NSAA President Marcia Merrins said, “To house an artist-in-residence is a dream come true for the NSAA. Cecelia’s presence is allowing us to make plans for the Gatehouse to become a learning center and a place to view and buy works by our member artists.” Ms. Merrins said plans for open hours of the Gatehouse are in progress. Meanwhile, The Gatehouse is a stop on the August 20-21 Chautauqua-Lake Erie Art Trail event, and will be open
from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days, showcasing the work of artists Price, Susan Mackay, and Mary Ann Jankowski. There are 15 other stops on the trail, featuring 22 artists. This is the second and final Art Trail Weekend, the signature event of the North Shore Arts Alliance, in 2016. Visit www.chautauquaarttrail.com for a complete map and more information. Price’s paintings, notable for their perfect finish, tactile nature, and mastery of the human form, bear witness to great craftsmanship. Nudity is a subject she often turns to in order to express ideas related to vulnerability, social awkwardness, life and death, racism, shame, vanity, and personal loss. “I see the nude form as perfection even with all of its natural flaws,” she said. “I long for time when nudes will be considered beautiful figures and flourish again, not just in art museums, but as public art— just like we see in Florence and Rome,” she said. The fact that the Gatehouse is located on the property of the Forest Hill Cemetery has a special appeal to Price, who likes to explore morbidity and the tran-

sient nature of earthly life. By painting such subject matter as animal and human skulls, she is harkening back to the still lifes of the 16th and 17th century Dutch painters whose “vanitas” works featured objects that symbolized the inevitability of death. A 2015 honors graduate of SUNY
Fredonia, Price teaches art to people with disabilities for Aspire of Western New York's iXpress art program. She is also an art therapist at Gowanda Rehab and Nursing Care. She was recently featured in a solo show at the Sensory Winery and Art Gallery in Ripley.

By The Numbers: 80-89 By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor Dunkirk native Mark Cole, left, is the director of ticket operations for the Houston Astros. Here he is pictured at Minute Maid Park in Houston with his wife Tori and his parents Jean and Skip Cole. (Submitted Photo)
By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
Who doesn’t dream of combining passion with career? For Dunkirk native Mark Cole, that dream is a reality. After years of climbing through the ranks, Cole currently holds the title of director of ticket operations for the Houston Astros. “I wanted to do something I was passionate about,” Cole shared. “Baseball was my first love.” Cole’s journey to the Major Leagues has been filled with extraordinarily hard work along with a few lucky breaks, even if he didn’t recognize the events as blessings at the time.
“I went to St. John Fisher,” Cole explained. “I tried to play baseball. I quickly realized I wasn’t as good as I thought I was. That’s when I got involved with the sport management club. I was club manager for the club hockey team. I took every opportunity I could get.” An internship with the nearby Rochester Red Wings, the Minor League affiliate of Minnesota Twins, was Cole’s first foray into the world of professional sports. “I thought it would be right up my alley,” he said of the opportunity. “I was kind of a telemarketer trying to sell ticket packages. I don’t consider myself a natural sales person, but I knew that was the way to get in on the ground floor. You have to be able to do CONTINUED ON PAGE 28

SPORTS COMMENTARY, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 25 In the penultimate entry into this series, you can probably expect more than a few NFL players. I’ve mentioned it throughout the series, but football is the sport that players wear higher numbers. I don’t make the rules. That’s just how it is. This is actually a group of numbers that trigger several instant images in my head. When I think of athletes wearing Nos. 80, 84 and 88, I picture three guys who are among the best ever at catching footballs. I’m getting ahead of myself. To the numbers! No. 80: Jerry Rice, NFL — There aren’t many people who have a legitimate claim to the greatest player in the history of the National Football League, but Rice might just be at the top of that list. There’s no question that he’s the best wide receiver of all time. He owns basically every record including receptions, yards and touchdowns. He wasn’t just a stat champion, either. Rice helped the 49ers win three Super Bowls while being named to 13 Pro Bowls. In the running: Cris Carter, NFL — If Rice never existed, it’s possible we’re talking today about Carter as the game’s greatest receiver. In the all-time record books, he’s fourth in both receiving touchdowns and receptions. No. 81: Terrell Owens, NFL — Get your popcorn ready, here’s comes T.O. Only Jerry Rice has more receiving yards than Owens. Only Rice and Randy Moss have more receiving touchdowns. He garnered a bad reputation during his career, but no one can dispute his production. In the running: Tim Brown, NFL — The Raiders great caught exactly 100 touchdowns during his career, good for eighth all time. His 14,934 receiving yards are the sixth most. He was also a great punt returner. Brown was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2015. No. 82: Raymond Berry, NFL — One of the league’s first dominant receivers, Berry led the league in receptions in three straight seasons from 1958-1960. He also led the league in touchdowns in two of those seasons and yards in three seasons during his career. His 12-catch, 178-yard performance in the NFL title game in 1958 still stands as one of the best of all time. In the running: Ozzie Newsome, NFL — Yes, he’s probably better known for his executive position with the Ravens, but Newsome can take some credit for being one of the first modern-day tight ends. He had a pair of 1,000-yard seasons in the 1980s, which was extremely odd at the time. No. 83: Ted Hendricks, NFL — After doing some re-
comes to mind when you think of famous athletes who wore No. 85. No. 86: Hines Ward: The Pittsburgh Steelers receiver played the game “the right way.” He went over the middle and took big hits. He threw some crushing blocks. He was a big reason why the Steelers won a pair of Super Bowls during his career. He also accumulated some impressive stats. In the running: Buck Buchanan, NFL — The defensive tackle stood 6’7” tall and was a force in making eight Pro Bowls during his career. No. 87: Sidney Crosby, NHL — Sid The Kid entered Sidney Crosby becomes the third Pittsburgh Penguins star the NHL with sky-high expectations. He was supto make this list. (AP Photo/Gene J. Puskar) posed to be the second coming of Wayne Gretzky. search, I feel bad not knowing much about Hendricks Despite a series of injuries in the middle of his career, he’s lived up the hype. The Penguins have won two before doing this column. He had an awesome nickStanley Cups with Crosby as the team captain. He has name: The Mad Stork. He blocked 25 field goals in five seasons of 100 or more points. He’ll reach 1,000 his career, which doesn’t even seem possible. He won career points next season. He’s won two Hart Trophies four Super Bowls. He intercepted 26 passes. That’s (MVP). He’s been the face of the NHL for the better an awesome football player. In the running: Andre part of a decade. Crosby is the man. In the running: Reed, NFL — It’s safe to say that the Bills wouldn’t have reached four straight Super Bowls without Reed. No one is terribly close. He was instrumental in the K-Gun offense and was No. 88: Tony Gonzalez, NFL — I’ve mentioned Goninducted into the Hall of Fame in 2014. zalez several times already in this column. He’s the greatest tight end of all time and it’s not terribly close. No. 84: Randy Moss, NFL — As someone who grew up watching Moss torch my beloved Packers, I can say He has the most receptions and yards of any tight end ever. In fact, he has more receptions than anyone that’s that watching Moss was like watching a man among boys. He simply played the game at another level. His ever played besides Jerry Rice. It’s a tragedy that the guy never got to lift the Lombardi Trophy.

NFL Suspends Bills DT Dareus Four Games By John Wawrow AP Sports Writer
PITTSFORD, N.Y. (AP) -- The Buffalo Bills' patience with Marcell Dareus grew thin on Tuesday, when the team announced the NFL suspended the star defensive tackle for violating the league's substance abuse policy for the second time in two years. This time the discipline is more severe for Buffalo's highest-paid player. After sitting out the season opener last year, Dareus was suspended without pay for the first four games of this season. ''From ownership down, we have made it clear his behavior is unacceptable,'' the Bills said in a statement. ''We are very disappointed Marcell chose to put himself first, before his teammates, coaches, the rest of the organization and fans through his recent actions.'' Without going into detail, the Bills said they would continue taking ''the necessary steps'' to work with Dareus. The team did not reveal any details or name the substance Dareus used that led to the suspension. Dareus posted a lengthy note on his Instagram account apologizing to the Bills, his fans, family and the league. ''I will not (hashtag)makeexcuses for the events in question,'' Dareus wrote. Calling the suspension ''a temporary setback,'' he asked fans to continue believing in him. ''I will continue to invest all that I have to bring honor and respect to the organization and my fans,'' Dareus added. ''I will rise above this setback, as with every challenge brings an opportunity for growth and supreme (hashtag)success!''

Dareus can continue practicing and playing through the preseason. His suspension begins the week before the Bills open the season at Baltimore on Sept. 11. O He will be eligible to rejoin the team on Oct. 3, a day after Buffalo plays at New t England. W Dareus is a five-year starter since being selected with the No. 3 pick in the 2011 ch draft. Last year, the Bills signed him to the most expensive contract in team his- t tory, a seven-year deal potentially worth $104 million. T P The suspension is the latest blow to Rex Ryan's revamped defense, which is already depleted by injuries. And it is the latest in a series of off-field troubles for L S Dareus. His one-game suspension last year stemmed from being arrested and charged with possession of a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia after being stopped by Alabama State Police on May 5, 2014. Dareus avoided trial, during which he would have faced felony drug charges, by agreeing to enter an NFL substance abuse program a few months later. That wasn't his only run-in with the law. In April 2015, he reached a plea agreement to have misdemeanor charges dropped for crashing his Jaguar into a tree near a busy suburban intersection the previous spring. C On the field, the 26-year-old is considered one of the NFL's top defensive tackles. P He's a two-time Pro Bowl selection and earned All-Pro honors in 2014, when he had a career-best 10 sacks. T The Bills were counting on Dareus to anchor a three-man line alongside veteran w Kyle Williams and rookie third-round pick Adolphus Washington. F Buffalo's defense is already missing starting outside linebacker Shaq Lawson. The f rookie first-round pick had shoulder surgery in May and is expected to miss at L least the first month of the season. The defense is also down rookie second-round D pick Reggie Ragland, who was pegged to start at middle linebacker. Ragland suf- ( fered a season-ending injury to his left knee 10 days ago. C Dareus becomes Buffalo's second player to earn a four-game suspension to open B C this season. T Last month, the NFL issued backup running back Karlos Williams a similar b suspension for violating the substance abuse policy.

Baseball Veteran Adams Hired as Fredonia Assistant

Contributed Article
O Y J Fredonia State University head baseball coach Matt Palisin has announced the S hiring of former professional baseball pitcher Richard (Dick) Adams as an ast sistant coach. Adams also has about 40 years of coaching experience at various i levels, his longest tenure coming at Cerro Coso Community College in Califory nia, where he piloted the program from its inception in 1992 through 2010. He a also had a three-year stint at Jamestown Commuity College (2012-2015). c "Coach Adams will have an immediate impact," said Palisin. "He has a tremen- f dous background in coaching and a great passion for sharing and teaching the T game. He has a great work ethic when it comes to recruiting and has already t had an impact for this season with several of his former JCC players joining our t squad." C Adams will work primarily with the r pitchers, bringing a "pitch to contact" S philosophy to the Blue Devils which he c hopes will help pitchers get deeper into n games and lower their pitch counts. "I e think if you throw two of the first three “ pitches for strikes, then you are going to t be very successful." Adams said. To strengthen arms, Adams likes to stick with a long toss program which he feels can add to a pitcher's velocity and stamina over the course of a year. Coach Adams added, "It'll also keep you B healthy. That's what I am trying to do; A keep pitchers healthy." His goals for this upcoming season B include learning more about each indif vidual player during this upcoming fall practice session and work off of that. He A also talked about making it past the SUNYAC Tournament and added, "Let's get h to Regionals. Let's get to the NCAA's. Let's go to the next level. What do we have to do to get to that next level? It's all about commitment." The Devils made the ' b SUNYAC Tournament for the third time in four seasons last year, and earned w points in the National poll as well. Some of Coach Adams' coaching accolades include the Howard Lowder Memo- F a rial Coaching Award in 1998, Foothill Conference Coach of the Year in 1999 r and Foothill Conference Coach of the Year in 2000. At Cerro Coso Community College, he was also a full-time instructor, Athletic O Director and Department Chair. Prior to coaching at Cerro Coso, Adams workeda with pitchers and catchers at the University of Nevada (1990-1991). He also made ' stops at McQueen HS (Nev.), Carson City HS (Nev.), California Lutheran Uni- f versity, Moorpark Community College, and Granada Hills High School (Calif.). f He has coached several Major Leaguers, including Kevin Gross, Donovan Os- T borne, Bobby Ayrault and Charlie Kerfeld. He also coached John Elway in high g school. Elway played baseball at Stanford and a season professionally in Oneonta V prior to becoming an NFL great. s r Adams played for Moorpark Community College (Calif.) and transferred to California State University, Northridge. He later was drafted and pitched in the f Angels' organization from 1976-1978, and was also an Associate Scout for the T Seattle Mariners (1986-1990) and Chicago Cubs (1992-2005). p FSU Sports Information Dept.

Vesey To Take Patient Approach As Free Agent By John Wawrow AP Sports Writer
Buffalo Sabres forward Jimmy Vesey is sticking with his plan to become an NHL free agent on Tuesday. And Vesey's agent, Peter Fish, told The Associated Press on Monday that college hockey's top player is in no rush to sign his first contract. ''It's certainly not going to be tomorrow,'' Fish said. ''I would say the earliest may be Friday or Saturday, but I wouldn't expect it to drag on much into the following week.'' Fish noted the timetable will depend on what teams express interest once they're allowed to begin contacting Vesey after midnight. After that, Vesey plans to narrow the field to ''a handful'' of teams to present formal offers. One team already in the mix is Buffalo, which acquired the 23-year-old's rights in a trade with Nashville in June. ''Tomorrow, we start to find out what our opportunities are, but I can tell you from Buffalo's standpoint, Jimmy is pleased with what they've done and said thus far,'' Fish said. The two sides have had several discussions, with Fish saying, ''We have a very good understanding with everything in regards to Buffalo.'' Vesey was selected by Nashville in the third round of the 2012 draft and last season won the Hobey Baker during his senior year at Harvard. In March, Vesey rejected signing with Nashville by informing the Predators he planned to pursue free agency. The Sabres took a calculated risk in trading one of their four third-round draft picks to essentially gain exclusive negotiating rights with Vesey. Sabres officials

traveled to Boston to meet with Vesey in July, and the two sides also had talks this past week. Vesey's decision comes down to which team he believes best fits him and not how much money he's offered. NHL rules limit teams to signing Vesey to a two-year, entry-level contract with a base salary of no more than $925,000, plus signing and performance bonuses, which are also capped. Buffalo has one advantage in center Jack Eichel, who is coming off a solid rookie season after being selected second in the 2015 draft. Eichel and Vesey grew up together in Massachusetts, share the same agent and spent part of this summer playing together in a summer league. Vesey's hometown Boston Bruins could be a contender, as well as the Toronto Maple Leafs, whose scouting staff includes Vesey's father, James.

Losing Gracefully Still An Olympic Sport By John Leicester Associated Press
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — In a world in turmoil, one thing never changes: the Olympic sport of losing gracefully. With a crisp, assured landing of his final somersault off the parallel bars, Oleg Verniaiev bumped Danell Leyva out of the gold-medal spot. Did the American curse? Turn his back? Roll his eyes in disgust? No. He firmly shook the Ukrainian's chalk-covered hand, flashed a broad smile and embraced him. "He didn't take anything away from me," Leyva said. "He deserved that medal more than anything." With a hand on her shoulder and the words "Get up, get up, we have to finish this," Abbey D'Agostino persuaded Nikki Hamblin not to quit when they tripped over each other and hit the deck hard in qualifying of the women's 5,000-meters. An American and a New Zealander, perfect strangers, turning personal disaster into a triumph of Olympic goodwill. "Isn't that just so amazing?" Hamblin said. "I'm never going to forget that moment. When someone asks me what happened in Rio in 20 years' time, that's my story." When troubled people seethe with hatred, gunning each other down in Rio de Janeiro's favelas, stabbing fellow passengers on European trains and plowing through families on the seafront in Nice, France, with a 19-ton truck, it is genuinely comforting that 11,400 athletes from 205 nations can still come together for two weeks of Olympic competition and treat each other with such respect. They have gone at each other hammer and tongs in swimsuits, leotards and running shorts on fields of play but mostly been the picture of grace once done with competing. In the 1940s, author George Orwell scathingly wrote that "serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence: in other words it is war minus the shooting." Hearing British gymnast Amy Tinkler gush about the "honor" and "privilege" of competing against American Simone Biles surely would have tempered Orwell's opinion. Tinkler's score of 14.933 on the floor was good for gold until Biles bested that with a 15.966. Afterward, Tinkler still made a point of seeking out the now four-time gold medalist to give her hug. And she applauded when Aly Raisman posted 15.500 to bump Tinkler from silver to bronze. Just 16 and yet already oozing class seen too rarely from other athletes away from the games, most notably in professional soccer, who could do themselves some favors by following her example. Here, from Tinkler, common decency that would have to be extracted with forceps from the likes of
game by cheering their own side and 'rattling' opposing players with boos and insults." By likening the atmosphere in Rio's Olympic Stadium to Adolf Hitler's propaganda games in Berlin in 1936, Lavillenie showed poor taste and a poor grasp of history. The world record holder later apologized for that "big mistake." He was booed again, cruelly C this time, when collecting his silver medal the next N day, causing him to weep on the podium. Topping the table of foul behavior are Egyptian judo athlete Islam El Shehaby , sent home after he refused T to shake the hand of Israeli Or Sasson, and Irish box- m er Michael Conlan.

Lake Erie Fishing Hotline
Contributed Article
NYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation
The 10-year draft Lake Erie Steelhead Management Plan (PDF) (783 KB) is out for public review and comment through August 18th. The draft plan describes the goals, objectives and strategies that will guide DEC's actions and decisions related to management of the steelhead fishery in New York's portion of Lake Erie over the next ten years (20162026). The plan advances the primary goal of managing New York's Lake Erie steelhead as maintaining a high quality fishery that provides diverse angling experiences and broad angler satisfaction. How to submit a comment The draft management plan (PDF) (783 KB) is available on the DEC website. The comment period on the draft plan runs through August 18, 2016. Comments may be submitted: • in writing to NYSDEC Lake Erie Unit, 178 Point Drive North, Dunkirk, NY 14048 • or by e-mail to fwfishle@dec.ny.gov (type "Steelhead Plan" in the subject line). Lake Erie and Harbors Reports indicate a light walleye bite for the past week. Some boats have been able to manage 3 or 4 walleye, but no one has been talking about limits. Most daytime effort has been west of Sturgeon Point to the PA line in 70-90 feet of water. Run stickbaits and worm harnesses deep for walleye hugging the bottom. Recently off Buffalo, anglers have caught decent numbers of walleye after sunset off Hamburg Beach and the windmills in 25-35 feet of water. Off the Buffalo Harbor breakwalls in 20-25 feet of water is another after dark spot. Walleye trollers have recently been reporting a surprising number of incidental pink salmon catches lately (for Lake Erie). Pink salmon look a lot like steelhead in the open lake, but can be distinguished by larger spots on their back and tail, and a more deeply forked tail. For more information on pink salmon see Salmon of New York page. July and August are traditionally the top months to target lake trout in Lake Erie. Head for prime depths over 90 feet deep, northwest of Dunkirk to the PA line. Downriggers with spoons run near the bottom is a productive method, although lakers may also be suspended within water column. Smallmouth bass fishing has been slow. Anglers are catching some bass in shallower areas around
20 feet early in the day, and work out to depths of 35-40 feet as the day progresses. Areas with rocky structure tend to be more productive. Drop-shot rigs combined with crayfish, minnows, tube jigs or other plastic baits work well for smallmouth bass. Expect to catch some sheepshead and white bass as well. For more information see the Smallmouth Bass Fishing on Lake Erie page. Attention Anglers: Rehabilitation of the Dunkirk Fishing Platform has been completed and it is now open for fishing. Upper Niagara River Boaters continue to see decent catches of smallmouth bass in the upper river. Traditionally productive areas include the head of Strawberry Island, around Motor Island and along the west side of Grand Island. When fishing the west river, be aware that the international line runs fairly close to Grand Island. Target smallmouth bass outside weedlines over rocky/gravel bottom with plastics or live crayfish and shiners. Chautauqua Lake Anglers are still seeing a decent walleye bite, especially during the last couple hours of daylight. In the north basin, vertical jigging in 20-30 feet of water has been productive along deep weed edges, points and steep drops. Blade baits, jigging Rapalas, Swedish Pimples and lead jig heads with a nightcrawler or leech, are good vertical jigging options. Trolling along the deepest, center section is your best bet in the south basin. Muskellunge fishing has slowed down, but anglers can still target them with large lures along weed edges. Anglers see decent catches of keeper yellow perch and sunfish around weedbeds. Small minnows are top bait for perch. Small jigs with grubs or piece of worm and fished under a float, will catch a mix of perch and sunfish. Inland Trout Fishing All of the area streams have low flows and many have warm water. Keep in mind that hooking and
playing trout in warm waters can be lethal to trout. Western New York anglers have a variety of Wild Trout Streams and Stocked Trout Streams to choose from. In addition, Public Fishing Rights Maps are available for many of the region's best trout streams. Check out the Fishing For Stream Trout page for introductory information on trout baits, lures, fishing equipment and techniques. If you need more fishing information or would like to contribute to the fishing report, please call or email Mike Todd (716-851-7010; michael.todd@dec. ny.gov). Good Luck Fishing! The fishing hotline can also be heard at (716) 679ERIE or (716) 855-FISH.
