Over 100 children in grades 2-12 are currently matched county-wide in a program proven to have a positive, long-lasting impact on both the child and mentor. A mentor is simply a caring and giving person that recognizes the important role that youth plays in our community. “A volunteer is basically a confidential friend that you can depend on - one that can support you with everything that is going on in your life,” says Walker. “We are not there to replace a parent, we are not a doctor, psycholo- Chautauqua Striders mentor Camilla is joined by her mentee, Autumn during the Downtown Jamestown gist; we are just people that care Development Corp’s holiday parade. and want to see the youth in our taking place during a study hall community thrive and to do well.” ethic and responsibility, the mentor will feel better about themselves, also helps to build a young perand are less likely to use drugs. period.

Sleigh Rides Begin at chautauqua By Patricia Pihl Managing Editor
Those looking for a reason to get outdoors, break winter’s monotony, or just enjoy an old fashioned ride along the grounds of a national historic landmark need to look no further. The close of Christmas marks the beginning of yet another season of family-friendly activity as Chautauqua Institution begins its horse-drawn sleigh rides. “It’s the only place you can come to in WNY and take a sleigh ride around a Victorian community, visit an independent book store and shop for some things you won’t find elsewhere in one afternoon,” says Earl Rothfus, Bookstore Manager at the Institution. The Bookstore partners with the Stateline Draft Horse Club, which has provided the sleigh rides at Chautauqua Institution for over 30 years. Rides typically last 45 minutes, beginning at the bookstore and passing the Hall of Philosophy, the Athenaeum Hotel, and the Miller Bell Tower. The ride follows along the lake before returning to the bookstore. “It doesn’t cover the whole grounds, but points of interest,” says Rothfus. According to horse club president Ed Trisket, “Quite a few families come back at least once

a year, and they know the horses’ names.” Last year 1,000 tickets were sold for the rides over eight weeks. “Depending on the weather, it makes a big difference (in attendance)” says Rothfus. With snow, the traditional horse-drawn bobsled will be used. Other wise, horses pull passengers on a hay wagon.” As with all things in WNY, a lot depends on the weather. “If its colder than 10 or 12 degrees then its too cold for the horses, and it is dangerous for them to work, says Rothfus. A lot people will call ahead of time to see if

the rides are available. They may want to buy tickets ahead of time or make reservations, which they can’t, because it just depends on the day.” On Sunday, Jan. 20, the Currier and Ives Sleigh Rally, a “friendly horse drawn sleigh driving competition,” will begin at 12 p.m. on the grounds. Sleigh classes are judged more on the skills of horse and driver with some points given for neatness of attire, suitability of harness and vehicle. There are separate divisions for light horse, pony, draft and team. “It’s absolutely beautiful the ‘get-ups’ they have. A number of

but the headline caught my eye: “French Panel overturns 75 percent upper tax rate.” As someone who studied French language and culture for years, I’ve always been intrigued by the inner-workings of European society. The rich and royal history of these nations has been a source of interest in my personal studies for years, and their current political and socioeconomic climate is no exception. When Francois Hollande was elected, I was almost thankful. I was not in support of his agendas or the French Socialist Party, but I knew that it would serve as an example to Americans of what would happen should our country continue on the path we’ve started down. Soon after he was elected, he passed laws giving the ‘right to marriage’ to all citizens, including same-sex couples. I won’t get into this topic here, but suffice it to say I wouldn’t have supported the measure. At any rate, the latest development was a tax fronted by Hollande that was, thankfully, overturned. The tax would have been 75 percent
on those making over $1.2 million. The tax is being reworked, and you can trust that it will still be incredibly high; since the mentality is that the rich will fund the country. As this is happening, what is transpiring is incredible. Wealthy citizens are leaving the country, renouncing their citizenships and heading to more income-friendly places. When all the highearners leave, who will ‘fund the nation’ then? What’s more- the government recently passed a law stating that all businesses in Paris must have their lights off between the hours of 1 a.m. and 7 a.m., the goal being reducing energy consumption. At what point does a government have too much power? At what point do the citizens of the country realize what’s happening? Throughout history, that point has often come too late- just in time for a government to revel in it’s power enough to keep any uprising from taking place. The more power we entrust to our leaders, the more that Western thinking, democracy and freedom are in jeopardy. We cannot continue to cast our troubles onto our leaders- especially since they have enough troubles of their own. It saddens me to see peers and elders who refuse to take responsibility for their own lives. I want my children to grow up in a country they can be proud of, not under a government they should be ashamed of.

The City of Jamestown Parks, Recreation and Conservation Department has announced that on Monday, Jan. 7, crews will begin their annual pick-up of discarded Christmas Trees for recycling. This is a service provided by the City on a weather-permitting basis. Residents are urged to place their trees on the terrace between the street and sidewalk. If possible, keep all trees visible should a large snowfall occur. All trees should be removed from plastic bags, christmas lights and tree stands. The Christmas trees are taken to the Fluvanna Avenue Yard Waste Site where they are chipped and stored as mulch. The Parks and Rec Department uses the mulch in landscaping and tree-planting projects throughout the city. Anyone having questions is asked to contact the Parks and Recreation Office at 483-7573. For more information, please visit the City Website at www. jamestownny.net.
also find ways to give back to the community. “Over the holidays, we rang bells in the red kettle campaign.” One match has signed up to assist with animal care at the Humane Society “We do a lot to support the community and give back, because its where we live and we want to make it as wonderful as we can to live here.” As well as participating in activities of mutual interest, Walker says part of mentoring is opening a young person’s mind and eyes to new adventures. “Perhaps, the mentor and mentee will “talk about or do things that they’ve never done before. It’s introducing them to new ideas, maybe a new career path or new interests.” Volunteers are screened and trained by the program, which also provides ongoing support. Generally, they spend between 30-60 minutes weekly with their mentees, and are asked to participate for at least a year. However, some have been in mentoring relationships for as long as nine years. “We have a match that started in elementary school and the young man is a freshman at
stopped by to see me and I also have received cards in the mail that said ‘I would not be where I am if it were not for this program.’” Walker also emphasizes that the mentor receives innumerable benefits from the mentoring experience as well. There are also area companies that encourage their employees to mentor students, which is said to boost moral and increase employee satisfaction and loyalty, according to advocates. Chautauqua Striders is a United Way agency and is supported locally by individuals, organizations and companies as well as the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation. To learn more about Chautauqua Striders mentoring programs, or how to volunteer, interested persons should contact Lorraine Walker at 716-483-4384, or by email at 88lwalker@ jamestown-wnyric.org or www.chautauqua-striders. org.

What’s crackly, has spiked bristles, dried up, and sprinkled with silvery stuff? No, it’s not your hair brush. It’s that Christmas tree that’s been in the house for almost a month now. The difference being that, unlike that essential hairbrush, you’ll have to get rid of that unessential tree. Not always an easy task. Unless, you own an artificial tree, then the task is easy. Simply collapse it, fold it together, try not to crinkle it and unfold the rumpled limbs. Alternately, some chose to have a living tree- one with a root ball- and plant it later. However, this will not work for everyone. Mid-January tree planting in frost-driven Chautauqua County is not everyone’s gardening preference. Which, you’ll have to do if you have a live tree, because as the Chautauqua County Master Gardner Program says, “Plant your tree as soon as possible. Do not wait until spring.” But horticulture is another subject, not that of this article. If you put up a fresh-cut tree, ultimately there are two ways to dispose of it- remove or reuse. Commonly, the day most take out their fresh-cut tree is sometime after the expiration of the Twelve Days of Christmas; when it’s not so fresh-cut anymore. Removing, of course, depends upon its size, and managing the tree to the outside is all that’s necessary. Out there by the curb, it becomes another’s responsibility. An opposition to a fresh-cut tree is that it is waste after just one use. Since 2004, Rockefeller Center in New York City has adopted a more ecofriendly way to recycle its famous tree by partnering with Habitat for Humanity to reclaim the tree’s wood for building materials. Lumber from one tree became the materials for a family’s home who’d lost it after Hurricane Katrina. Your tree, most likely, will only have enough lumber to build a birdhouse. And that would be just fine. Used trees can benefit birds and wildlife. If you have the acreage, the tree can be set out as habitat. By keeping nature in mind when you dispose of your tree, you can help wildlife enjoy winter, and you may even attract larger flocks with your festive recycling. The basic way to recycle a dead tree is to add it to a brush pile or next to shed or fence where the birds can easily discover it. This creates a roosting area to shelter sparrows, finches and other small birds from

RELIGION SECTION Keeping the Faith
Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church Fredonia
Dear Pastor, is it all right for Christians to make New Year’s resolutions? As a New Year comes in, many people take this opportunity to make life-improving resolutions. Some people want to lose weight, be nicer to family, or some want to get their finances in order. As Christians, we want to make sure that whatever we do, it has a Biblical foundation. Let’s look at whether a New Year’s Resolution is pleasing to God. The Book of Proverbs gives us insights to live our lives in wisdom
and purpose. According to Proverbs, setting a life goal or a resolution is a wise way to live. Proverbs 29:18 tells us that “Where there is no vision, the people perish.” A vision is a goal or dream for the future. The Bible says that without a goal, the quality of our life will not be as good as it should be. It’s important, therefore, for Christians to set goals. Setting goals helps us to plan and achieve. For example, if you’re trying to plan a trip but don’t know where you want to go, you probably won’t go anywhere! Unfortunately, many people live their lives without a
purpose or goals. Having a goal is like knowing where you want to go on vacation; it keeps you going in the right direction. Having a goal also helps you to prepare properly for the trip. The Apostle Paul, whose missionary work spread the Gospel throughout the known world, was guided by goals. In the Book of Philippians (3:14), Paul said, “I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Paul’s life and ministry were marked by a single goal of fulfilling God’s purpose for his life, and he disciplined himself to obtain it.
The Lord Jesus Christ also had a goal for His life. The Bible says that the goal and purpose of bringing salvation to the world allowed Jesus to endure the cross and fulfill the plan of God (Hebrews 12:2). If Jesus and Paul had goals, it must be beneficial for us to have goals, too! So, it’s perfectly allowable for a Christian to have (and keep) New Year’s resolutions as long as they are realistic, beneficial, and line up with God’s Word. If you and your family set godly goals and discipline your lives to reach them, you’ll surely be blessed!

The Weekly Word The World We Live In The average person might tell you that everything that happens in the world is of God. That is not true. Jesus distinguished His works from Satan’s in John 10:10, “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” Satan has power to destroy because there are two kingdoms that exist on our planet, Satan’s kingdom and God’s Kingdom. In the beginning God created mankind for fellowship and also for mankind to have kingdom Rev. Tim Stahlman dominion on Earth. (Genesis 1:26Family Church Jamestown 28) Satan also desired a kingdom www.thenewfamilychurch.com for himself (Isaiah 14:12-14) and because he couldn’t steal God’s
away, he came to steal mankind’s kingdom in the Garden of Eden. Satan knew that if mankind disobeyed God they would be forced to obey him, therefore forfeiting their kingdom to Satan. When Adam and Eve sinned, God had no choice but to separate Himself from mankind because He cannot dwell in the presence of sin. Mankind sold out to Satan thus giving Satan a kingdom here on our planet. 2 Corinthians 4:4 says, “In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.” Notice the first word “god” in this verse. Notice the lower case “g”. This is not speaking of our
Heavenly Father. This is speaking of Satan. Later in the verse our Father is mentioned with a capital “G”. Notice Satan is called the “god of this world”. Satan is ruling a kingdom here on Earth. This helps explain why so much is going wrong in the world. Just for the record, hell is not a place on Earth; it is a separate place for those who reject Christ. (Revelation 20:11-15) So how do we escape Satan’s kingdom? It’s simple, by rejecting Satan and joining God’s Kingdom. Colossians 1:13 says, “[God] who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the Kingdom of His dear Son.” We all need to make a spiritual address change. The next verse tells us
how, “In whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins.” My eternal address changed from hell to Heaven when I asked Christ to be my personal Savior and forgive me of my sins. I made a deliberate turn from Satan and asked Jesus into my heart. Ephesians 2:2 says, “Wherein in time past you walked according to the COURSE OF THIS WORLD, according to the PRINCE OF THE POWER OF THE AIR, the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience.” Notice that the course of our world is directed by Satan and his wickedness. This explains why terrible things happen on Earth.

Likewise, a lack of vegetables in the diet is linked to a higher risk of aggressive prostate cancer, according to experts at the Prostate Cancer Foundation. • A buffet can derail a diet quickly.

Participants in the cadet program of the Jamestown Civil Air Patrol are exposed to many hands-on experiences, including unique opportunities to travel in the hopes of meeting new people and embracing different ways of life. The Civil Air Patrol is the official auxiliary of the United States Air Force. It exists to provide emergency services in search and rescue missions, cadet programs, aerospace education and homeland security assistance to the Air Force. The Civil Air Patrol fl ies 90 percent of the Air Force’s inland missions. Locally, the Jamestown Squadron is based at the
in their 80s. The Jamestown Composite Squadron includes cadets who live throughout the Southern Tier, including some who reside in Pennsylvania. All members share a common bond, spending plenty of time getting to know the intimate details of aircraft mechanics and how jet engines operate. Their hard work and dedication is regularly recognized as certificates of achievement are awarded to the young cadets who impress their commanders and other program leaders. Cadets actively participate
in plenty of “hands-on” projects that include everything from jet engine maintenance to welding instruction to how to properly start and operate a helicopter engine. Their experiences take place at a wide variety of venues, including the Dunkirk Airport and Jamestown Community College’s Manufacturing Technology Institute. One of the main goals of the cadet program is to get teenagers interested, involved and engaged with the fascinating world of aviation in the hopes that they will continue to pursue their passion for flying, possibly to include transferring that interest into a career as a pilot, engine mechanic or some other job in the aviation industry. One of the most recent programs Jamestown’s
Civil Air Patrol’s Composite Squadron hosted was a wreath-laying ceremony at Soldier’s Circle in Lakeview Cemetery. The ceremony allowed onlookers to gather and view a unique display of remembrance for those who died helping to ensure and secure the freedoms that we enjoy today. A total of seven wreaths were placed at the center of Soldier’s Circle, six of which represented branches of the military: (U.S. Army; U.S. Marine Corps; U.S. Navy; U.S. Air Force; U.S. Coast Guard; U.S. Merchant Marine Academy) The seventh wreath honored the more than 93,000 American soldiers who are either missing in action or classified as prisoners of war. The ceremony also included the Pledge of Allegiance, a presentation of
colors by the Chautauqua County Veterans Color Guard, the singing of The Star-Spangled Banner and the playing of Taps. Future events for the cadets of the Jamestown Civil Air Patrol include a trip later this year to Washington, D.C. Fundraising efforts are currently being organized in the hopes that the cadets can generate enough support from the community to help pay for their planned expedition to our nation’s capital during their spring break from school. For more information about the Jamestown Civil Air Patrol’s cadet program, including how to become a member, submit a letter of interest to: Jamestown Composite Squadron, 3163 Airport Drive, Suite 12, Jamestown, NY 147019718.

Never leave portable heaters or fireplaces unattended. Turn off space heaters or extinguish the fireplace before going to bed or leaving home. Place a space heater on a hard, level, nonflammable surface. Do not put space heaters on rugs or carpets, near bedding or drapes, and keep children and pets away. Look for a space heater model that shuts off automatically if the heater falls over.
When using a fireplace, use a glass or metal screen large enough to catch sparks or rolling logs and keep the fire in the fireplace. Keep all flammable materials such as newspapers, matches, bedding, clothing, carpets and rugs at least three feet away from heat sources such as space heaters, fireplaces and stoves. Smoke alarms save lives. People should: Install smoke alarms on every level of their home,
inside bedrooms and outside sleeping areas. Check monthly that smoke alarms are working properly by pushing the test button. Replace batteries in smoke alarms at least once a year. Replace smoke alarms every ten years. Planning for fire emergencies is important. Make sure all household members know two ways to escape from every room of the home, and set up a meeting
place outside in case of fire. Practice escaping from the home at least twice a year and at different times of the day. Teach household members to stop, drop and roll if their clothing should catch on fire.

My New Me Solution Week 1 – Preparation:
Talk with your healthcare provider about what is a healthy weight for you and the type of exercises you can participate in. Contact the WCA Hospital Wellness Program at 664-8677 for a free body composition testing. This test will indicate how much body fat, muscle mass and water weight you have and the recommended goals for you to achieve for your height, weight and age. Talk with a WCA Dietician, Diabetes Educator or Wellness Coach about designing a plan to educate yourself on healthy food choices and menuplanning. Purchase a pair of good supported walking shoes for physical activity. Take a trip to the grocery store and
pick up some fresh fruits and vegetables (frozen fruits and vegetables are just as nutritious).
My New Me Solution Week 2-Planning:
Use a food diary (a plain sheet of paper will work too!) to track your daily intake of calories. www. myplate.gov has a super tracking system that you can use to electronically keep track of your food intake, weight and physical activity minutes. Look for “new” easy healthy recipes and ex-
periment with your healthy food choices. Plan out your daily meals for the week. Start a walking program – 15 minutes to start at a slow steady pace will lead you to increasing your time and pace within the next month. Call WCA Wellness for a fee Walking Guide – a Step in the Right Direction!
My New Me Solution Week 3 – Practice:
Keep your food and physical activity diary, daily. Increase your walking pro-
gram times and pace and add some strength training in your routine a couple days a week to optimize your metabolism, muscle strength and bone density. Recruit a friend or family member to join you in physical activity. There is a 10% more success rate of achieving your goals when you have a buddy along side of you .

new Start times for 2013 events Contributed Article 1891 Fredonia Opera House
The 1891 Fredonia Opera House has announced new start times for its live stage performances and cinema series fi lms beginning in January. “To satisfy requests from patrons, we are streamlining start times for the majority of our events this
coming year, to help make them easier to remember and improve convenience,” says Opera House Executive Director Rick A. Davis. Beginning with the Cinema Series fi lm “The Sessions” on January 5 & 8, all movies and live event stage performances will begin at 7:30pm. “That means our movie times will be easier to remember as ‘Saturday and Tuesday evenings at 7:30
p.m.’” says Davis. “Our live concerts and stage performances also will start at 7:30 p.m. for consistency.” Davis says the only exceptions to the new start times will be the Bach & Beyond Baroque Music Festival concerts, which will continue to begin at 8 p.m. with preconcert conversations before each concert at 7 p.m. He also notes that start times for Live at the Met trans-

missions and any other live satellite transmission events will continue to be guided by the hosting organization of the live performance (the Metropolitan Opera for Live at the Met, for example). This change comes on the heels of patron requests for earlier and more consistent start times. SUNY Fredonia’s Rockefeller Arts Center made a similar change this past fall following a survey of its patrons which yielded comparable results – patrons prefer an earlier show time. Chautauqua County’s only performing arts center presenting its own programming year-round, the 1891 Fredonia Opera House is a membersupported not-for-profit organization located in Village Hall in downtown Fredonia.

anderson-lee library announces new Book club
Contributed Article Anderson-Lee Library
The Anderson-Lee Library in Silver Creek will host a monthly book discussion club beginning on Tuesday, January 8, at 6:30 p.m. The club, named the “We Love A.L.L. Books” Book Club, will meet on the second Tuesday of each month, from 6:30-7:30 p.m. The purpose of the book club is to gain insights, knowledge, and an appreciation of different people and places throughout the world and throughout time. Members will read a broad range of fiction and nonfiction books, including but not limited to histori-
cal fiction, true histories, biographies, current issues and events, and contemporary fiction. It is hoped that the book club will offer an opportunity for an enjoyable form of continuing education. The book to be discussed at the club’s first meeting is In the Garden of Beasts, by Erik Larson. Published in 2011, this major bestseller tells the remarkable true story of William Edward Dodd, America’s first ambassador to Hitler’s Germany. The book sheds light on the rise of the Third Reich and the reasons why the world did not recognize the grave threat posed by Hitler and the Nazi Party. Copies
of the book are available to borrow through the Chautauqua-Cattaraugus Library System. In order to have a successful discussion, participants are asked to read the entire book before the meeting and to come prepared with two or three critical questions or observations that will allow the group to explore the book in some depth. The first meeting will also include discussion of the rules for choosing future monthly book selections. For more information or to sign up, call 934-3468. Refreshments will be provided by the Friends of the Anderson-Lee Library.

When Heritage Ministries Senior Living Community recently opened Orchard Grove Residences in West Ellicott, it represented another level in specialized continuing care for the elderly. A progression, officials say, to providing a better “fit” for a growing number of seniors – those
who need an intermediate level of care, without unneeded restrictions to their independence. On the campus of the Woodlands, Orange Grove consists of three 12-bedroom homes, each with a
private room and bath for each resident. Residents share a common dining and living room and get help in cooking, cleaning and are involved in a variety of activities. Doug Justham, Director of Marketing and Development at Heritage, says Orange Grove provides a home-like atmosphere, with care between that of a regular assisted and skilled nursing facility. The senior
living community also represents a cost savings as compared to skilled nursing, which he says is $280 a day. Chris Anderson, Marketing Manager adds, “there is now that intermediate
level of care, which is much less institutional and more comfortable and homelike.” Heritage Ministries, (formally known as the Heritage Group) was originally founded in 1886, and is now is the largest provider of rehab and skilled nursing services in Chautauqua county. With its first rehab & skilled nursing facility built in Gerry in 1972,it has been recognized to be among the best nursing facilities in New York State for several years. Heritage Park ( Jamestown, NY) and Heritage Green (Greenhurst, NY) officially became members of the Heritage Ministries family on January 1, 1995, licensed by the New York State Department of Health. At the other end of the care continuum are the Independent Living Residences. Driving by its Gerry campus, the casual observer might see the brick buildings, but be unaware of the cottages, duplexes and apartments tucked away
on its 100 acres. Independent Living residents enjoy a wide array of services without the worry of maintenance or omit home ownership. “ Many people might ask, ‘why would I come into independent housing,’ ” says Justham. “The advantage is, once you are in a continuous care retirement campus, you automatically have the highest priority to get into assisted living when you need it and skilled nursing. So if we have five
people trying to get into skilled nursing, and you’re already in our system, you will have top priority.” “We want people to start to think about this, before they feel the need, he continues.” In terms of quality of life issues as well as the pressures of home ownership, Justham adds, “This is the time to enjoy life. We are offering more freedom when people are able to enjoy it. You don’t have to
worry about repairing your house, or shoveling your driveway. It’s a worry-free lifestyle.” In all, Heritage Ministries provides 400 individuals with nursing care and 150 in assisted and independent living. It is among the top ten employers in the county. Heritage Ministries is a not-for-profit organization. For more information, interested persons may visit www.heritage1886.org.
Officials gathered last month for a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Heritage Ministries newest assisted living facility, Orchard Grove Residences.

Back to School: Local schedules heat up
By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor
Ready or not, winter break is over. Outside of a few high school basketball and wrestling tournaments, the athletic schedule has been rather empty for the past two weeks thanks to the holiday season. But that all finally comes to an end this weekend.

High school basketball is also back, and in a full, meaningful swing that began Thursday night. Many local teams were in holiday tournaments this past week, but were mere tune-ups for the beginning of league play. In ECIC Division 1, Jamestown will host Williamsville North in arguably the biggest game of the weekend in this county. The Red Raiders, the prohibitive division favorites, have been involved in many memorable games with the Spartans, who boast one of the top players in all of Western New York in junior Starling Taplin. Will North is 6-0 and hoping to avenge a buzzer-beating loss the last time these two teams played when Jamestown’s Tommy Campion hit a runner in Williamsville. In CCAA Division 1, much of the action took place Thursday night. They’re back in action Monday with Fredonia hosting Gowanda, Dunkirk at Olean and Falconer hosting AlleganyLimestone.
Same schedule for Division 2, where Silver Creek appears to be head-and-shoulders above everyone else. They host Catt/ Little Valley Monday night. Also Cassadaga Valley travels down to Frewsburg for a key divisional game. Maple Grove looks to continue its Division 3 dominance with a date Monday at Pine Valley. The 6-1 Red Dragons hosted Franklinville on Thursday, also a league game. Elsewhere on Monday, Westfield is at Franklinville and Chautauqua Lake is at Forestville. Panama has the day off. Finally in Division 4, the big is Brocton at Clymer on Monday. Those are arguably two of the top four teams in the division and both are off to fi ne starts. Sherman plays West Valley on Saturday and then plays Randolph in a non-league game on Monday. It will be the third game in five days for the Wildcats. Ripley is at Clymer Friday night.

coaches renew acquaintance as season resumes Contributed Article Fredonia State Sports Information
FREDONIA, N.Y. — It'll be an Auld Lang Syne reunion for two veteran men's hockey coaches whose teams play their first games of 2013 on Friday night. Fredonia State's Jeff Meredith and St. Anselm's Ed Seney cannot possibly have forgotten their old acquaintance. Each man became a head coach during the 1988-89 season, Meredith at Fredonia State and Seney at SUNYAC rival Potsdam. Seney moved to St. Anselm, located in Manchester, N.H., prior to the 2002-03 season. Friday's meeting marks the first game between their teams since Seney's move. Faceoff is 7 p.m. “We have had some very good practices,” Meredith said Wednesday afternoon as his team prepared for its first of 12 regular-season games in the second semester. “We have really been focusing in our defensive zone play. We gave up too many goals during the first semester. If we are going to make a run, then we really have to buckle down.” coNtINuEd oN pG 2

CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, JANUARY 4, 2013
Hall of Fame January Newsletter Inductee of the Month Don Reinhoudt
Contributed Article Chautauqua Sports HOF
Fredonia's Don Reinhoudt was once known as the world's strongest man. He won the title in 1979 in the CBS World's Strongest Man Contest in Los Angeles after finishing second the previous year. From 1971-80 Reinhoudt set 36 world records in power lifting. As an amateur he set world records in the squat (935 pounds), bench press (606 1/2 pounds) and dead lift (885 1/2 pounds). He was the world champion of the super heavy class and senior national champion of the super heavy class from 1973- 76. In 1972 he finished third in the world
championships. As a professional from 1978-80 he set world records in the 8,000-pound trolley pull, 10,000-pound trolley pull, 20,000-pound Mack truck pull, 3,000pound barrel press and 1,000-pound girl lift. Those honors earned him a place in the Guinness Book of World Records. He also held the world record in the teeth lift (350 pounds), car lift (2,500 pound) and the 150-pound dumbbell press (15). He has a total of 36 national records and is the only American super heavyweight to hold every power lifting world record at once. He is a member of the world and national power lifting hall of fames. Born on March 6, 1945,
Mr. Reinhoudt was 6'3.5" and 360-380 pounds in competition. He had a 60inch chest, a 22 inch neck, and twenty-two and three quarters inch biceps. His forearms measured 18.5 inches. Each thigh was a gigantic 34 inches. He was a four time consecutive IPF champion (1973 until 1976). He held all of the power lifting records in his day. He was the first man to break the 2,400-pound power lifting total record. Don Reinhoudt came to power lifting through playing basketball, football and track and field. He was an All-Conference player in football and a varsity letterman in basketball. He put the 12-pound shot 52.5 feet. All of this time, he did not lift a weight because
at that time coaches and athletes falsely thought that weight training meant a loss of flexibility known as "muscle-boundness." He attended Parsons College in Iowa under a track and field scholarship. The coaches there introduced him to his destiny: weightlifting. He tried the Olympic style lifts that are heavy on technique, but no one around him knew the proper technique. Nevertheless, he was able to press 330 pounds, snatch 250 pounds and clean and jerk 370 pounds. In all, he competed in 6 Olympic style competitions including the 1967 Junior Nationals. Don Reinhoudt was inducted into the Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame in 2005 and the Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame in 1983.
induction banquet speaking announced continued from pg 1 He is one of just eight athletes in U.S. history to medal in four different Olympiads. Baumgartner began his personal quest for gold in 1982 with his first "grandslam" title as he captured the NCAA Division I national championship at Indiana State University. Over his brilliant career, Baumgartner won 134 of 146 collegiate matches (13412) including 73 falls. He was twice runner up at the national collegiate tournament, and then posted a 44-0 mark his senior year to capture the NCAA crown. He won his first Olympic gold medal in Los Angeles in 1984, America's first in 60 years of super heavyweight wrestling. He followed with a silver
medal performance at the 1988 Games in Seoul, South Korea, four years later, and then became the first American wrestler to ever medal in three consecutive Olympics when he won the gold for the second time in Barcelona, Spain in 1992. During the span, Baumgartner competing for the New York Athletic Club, won World Championships in 1995, 1993, and 1986, plus another 3 silver and 3 bronze World medals. Baumgartner captured a total of 13 World and Olympic medals, more than any other freestyle wrestler in history. Before winning the Sullivan Award in 1995, Baumgartner was one of the ten finalists for the prestigious honor four previous times in 1986,
1992, 1993 and 1994. The 52-year-old from Edinboro, Pa., was head wrestling coach at Edinboro University before becoming Director of Athletics in 1998. Baumgartner coached for 13 years at Edinboro, 7 as a head coach. In 1997, he led the Fighting Scots to a 14-0 dual meet record, the best in the school history, and a sixth place team finish at the NCAA Division I national championships. In 1998, Baumgartner was inducted into the Indiana State University Athletic Hall of Fame; in 2003, the Missouri Valley Conference named him an 'Institutional Great' and inducted him into the Missouri Valley Conference Hall of Fame. In 2008, Baumgartner was inducted
into the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame. He was also inducted into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2002 and the International Wrestling Federation Hall of Fame (FILA) in 2003. The CSHOF induction banquet on February 18 at the Lakewood Rod and Gun Club will begin with a hospitality session at 5:00 p.m. with dinner at 6:30. Tickets may be purchased at Matt’s News on Third Street in Dunkirk, Fredonia Food Mart on Temple Street in Fredonia and Jamestown Cycle Shop on Harrison Street in Jamestown.

soo eagles (1st place tie, 21-8-3, 45 pts.)
After a slow start the firstyear Eagles have surged as of late. Success with the Eagles so far this season has started with one of the strongest goaltending tandems in the league with veterans Tyler Marble and Zach Nagelvoort. The two are No. 1 and No. 2, respectively, in the NAHL in save percentage. With that in mind, the Soo have won with defense this season as they have allowed the 3rd fewest goals and have the 2nd best penalty kill in the league. Offensively, the Eagles are no slouch either. Eric Rivard and Jared Van Wormer are tied for the team scoring lead with 36 points each, which ranks tied for 5th in the NAHL and Rivard leads the league in gamewinning goals. 16 of Soo’s remaining 28 games are at home so the schedule sets up favorably for the second half of the season.
Jamestown ironmen (1st place tie, 21-8-3, 45 pts.)
Head coach Dan Daikawa has a veteran team and it has showed the first half of the season as the Ironmen have been in 1st place in the North Division for the majority of the first half of the season. Luc Gerdes has led the charge offensively, as the 19-year-old leads the team in points with 27 and ranks tied for 2nd in the NAHL with six game-winning goals. The trade with Port Huron for Nico Sierra has worked out well as he has scored 10 points in his 10 games with the team and dman Dylan Zink is in the top five in defensive scoring in the NAHL. Veteran goalie Reid Mimmack will end his NAHL career at the end of December and head to Bemidji State University in the spring, so the majority of the games will fall upon Tim Shaughnessy and Blake Wojtala, who was recently acquired from Odessa. Of their 28 games remaining, 15 of them are on the road.
kalamazoo Jr. k-Wings
The Jr. K-Wings have steadily rolled along to 3rd place in the North Division. They are actually a win better at this point this season than they were last season. Forward Robbie Payne is leading the charge again this season with 30 points after accumulating 55 points last season. Luc Boby and Josh Dangel, who both played last season for the St. Louis Bandits, have been excellent additions to the team, as they are in the top four in team scoring. Defenseman Brett Beauvais has been his usual steady and productive self, which has led to an NCAA Division I college commitment to Bemidji State. In goal, Alex Okicki has played the majority of the games and has played very well as of late, not having lost a game in regulation since November 10. The schedule sets up very favorably for Kalamazoo as they play 12 of their fi nal 15 games at home, but they are currently in the middle of a 10-game road trip.
down the stretch may be in goal because both Chris Truehl and Collin Brennan have been worthy of being the No. 1 goaltender.
port huron fighting falcons (5th place, 1613-2, 34 pts.)
As one of only two teams to make a coaching change already this season, the Fighting Falcons are trying to repeat last year’s success and have put themselves in pretty good position to do so after the first half. The Falcons got off to a fast start, but struggled in November. However, they have won three of their last four games. They have a seasoned veteran goalie that is playing well in Max Milosek. The offense is a balanced attack with close to a dozen players in double digits in scoring lead by Ian Miller’s 20 points and Kody Polin’s 10 goals. Defenseman Ryan Nick is leading the blue line core, but the Falcons will have to find the way to fill the shoes of the departed Mark Evan Auk, who was the NAHL Defenseman of the Month back in September.
Johnstown tomahawks Janesville Jets (6th (4th place, 16-9-6, 38 place, 13-14-6, 32 points) pts.) The Jets have been looking For as good as the Tomahawks have been lately, they can take solace in the fact that their record could be even better with the amount of overtime/shootout losses they have had. It is all part of a team that is starting to learn and get better by the game, particularly on the road. In November and early December, the Tomahawks rattled off a stretch of eight wins in nine games, including a successful trip out west. The home crowds have responded and so have the players. The Tomahawks have developed a very balanced scoring attack with 10 players in double digit scoring, led by Cody Gylling’s 25 points. Casey Nelson is a former NAHL Defenseman of the Month, who is one the NAHL’s top scoring defenseman and forward Andrew McDonald has been a great addition since arriving from Fresno, as he averaging almost a point per game. However, the biggest battle
for consistency this season, but that tends to happen with a younger line-up like the Jets have this season. The Jets do have a consistent goaltender duo in Brock Kautz and Austin Priebe, who both rank in the Top 7 in the NAHL in save percentage. Along the blueline, defenseman and Bemidji State recruit Ruslan Pedan is one of the league’s best defenseman. However, in order for Janesville to have success the remainder of the season and perhaps into the playoffs, they will have to fi nd a way to score more goals. Forward and fellow Bemidji State recruit Jason Ford leads the way with 20 points, but after that only four more players are in double digit scoring. The Jets have bounced back nicely from an eight-game winless streak in October and November.

Another one of the younger teams in the league, the Springfield Jr. Blues, have also been searching for consistency. Their peaks and valleys have come in bunches. After winning just one of their first 10 games to start the season, the Jr. Blues rebounded nicely in October and November when they won a stretch of nine of the next 11 games, which included wins against the likes of Port Huron, Topeka and Johnstown. Then they went through another rough stretch in November and early December as they lost seven of their next eight. Forward Brett Skibba is having a career season so far, leading the team with 29 points and a +8 rating. Mike Fazio and Nate Chasteen also have over 20 points and rookie defenseman Alex Baskakov is having a nice season along the blueline.
michigan Warriors (8th place, 8-18-5, 21 pts.)
The Warriors, who were a Robertson Cup fi nalist in 2011, were plagued by a slow start to begin the season, winning just three of their first 18 games. They picked it up with five wins in nine games in November and December, but are still trying to fi nd consistency and offensive production. If the Warriors are to make a run for the top six in the North, their scoring has to pick up and their power play has to produce. They average the second fewest

Coyotes and People: Trespassers or Benefactors? continued from pg 1 An integral ecosystem, from the view of many biologists, has boundaries that trespass, and oppose human-coyote separations. According to a report by the New York State Coyote Project, a life-science study conducted under the auspices of Cornell University, “interactions between people and coyotes are on the increase.” In New York State, wildlife biologist Gordon Batcheller studies coyotes from his post at the state's Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC). Batcheller says coyotes are "becoming habituated to humans and human environments. “Coyotes,” he said, are “adapting their behavior to ours." From the coyotes' perspective, the human environment is “a handily subsidized environment.” Meaning, says Batcheller, "it provides an artificially high amount of foods with an unnatural absence of threats.” Defining a coyote’s adaptability, he said they “take quick advantage of these unnatural environments." Returning to sharks: they, like coyotes, hunt in packs. Both have a significant dietary source established upon scavenging. Both are carnivores. Both are chance hunters. Both are attack predators. In spite of those traits, they are more often opportunistic — seeking food easily obtained food. Bill Blancer is a New York State Licensed Nuisance Wildlife Control Office from Chautauqua County. He describes the coyote’s predatory tendency as “hunting the easiest food available to them.” Does Blancer’s statement imply attacks on domesticated animals? On people? “The potential does exist for coyote attacks in Western New York,” the New York State Coyote Project said. However, that project suggested, “a little perspective may be in order.” On average, 650 people are hospitalized and one person killed by dogs each year in New York State. Bill Blancer commented on the coyote-people perspective, claiming, “some coyotes have lost their fear of people. This can result in a dangerous situation.” Meanwhile, wildlife biologist Paul Curtis and his team at Cornell University have begun a five-year study of coyote ecology and

behavior. "The goal of the project is to look at changes in both coyote and human behavior that may be leading to more conflicts and complaints," he said. Curtis describes a progression of behavior in alleged risky coyote areas.” At first, the generally reclusive animals are increasingly spotted in daylight hours. “Next,” the study reported, “pets begin to vanish from yards and are even snatched off leashes by coyotes.” Reports by Animal nuisance say attacks on dogs in rural areas most often occur during the coyote mating and pup-birthing period — January through June — as a territorial defense behavior. Occasionally, coyotes have followed and sometimes attacked dogs being walked by their owners — and sometimes the owners. A February 2007 report by the Chautauqua County Health Department described a coyote assault that occurred on the Fred J. Cusimano Overland Trail. Five coyotes made a daytime attack on a pair of Labrador Retrievers while their cross-country skiing owners watched helplessly. The dogs were killed. Mark Stow, the county health department administrator, said in his report that people should “take precautions to avoid a negative encounter with a coyote.” An understatement, indeed. Referring to a coyote’s wintertime food quest, Stow summarized, “coyotes have a difficult time finding food at this time of year.” Wildlife scientist, Bill Curtis, responds prudently, "that's the last stage before a human attack," Curtis said. "And we're at that stage in New York now." New York wildlife officials are working to head off
such conflicts before serious attacks occur. Sandy Kochanowski is a Chautauqua Animal Enforcement Office answering to four townships in Chautauqua County. Frequently, she’ll get a call from someone if their dog is missing. “I haven’t had a personal encounter with a coyote problem, but I do know there are plenty of people who have.”
Are coyotes simply dogs mistakenly identified?
A coyote indeed has a German shepherd-like appearance. Infrequently, coyotes are colored a grizzled gray on their back, upper sides and neck. This distinguishes them from most dogs. Typically, a number of coyotes are black or reddish-blond. Coyotes can be distinguished from most dogs based on they way they travel, carrying their tail at or below a horizontal level. At a distance, it could be difficult to differentiate coyotes from dogs, but viewed closely, coyotes have smaller heads, less pointed muzzles and ears, and larger feet. The New York State Coyote Project fitted radiocollars on coyotes. The research examined the behavior, movements, and interaction of coyotes with people and pets. Included in the report was, “attacks to small dogs appears to be the highest risk.” Respondents to telephone surveys within the project reported they were “very concerned about coyote presence in suburban areas.” Coyote attacks to pets and people are “on the rise in many states, including New York,” the project stated. New York, as in the city. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation reports
coyote sightings there. The Coyote Project cautions, “a coyote that does not fear people should be considered dangerous.” Coyotes in residential areas quickly learn to associate food with people. Suburban coyote food (garbage, pet food, pets) is saturated with human odor. Bill Curtis, the wildlife scientist, comments, "it appears to be a learned behavior," he noted, “certain animals seem more adapted to an urban environment. They catch a few cats and say, ‘Hey there’s abundant food here.” Returning to the sensationalized view of coyote attacks, those confrontations should be viewed within the perspective of the coyote’s naturally inherent behaviors; beneficial behaviors. Speakers at public meetings, and science naturalists, throughout western New York expressed positive feelings about coyotes. People enjoy hearing their evening “serenades,” observing them hunting the fields in their neighborhoods or simply finding tracks or other signs during their outdoor travels. Scavenger animals in northern New York — foxes, fishers, marten, ravens and even golden eagles — benefit from coyote predation of deer through increased food availability. Raven populations were absent after the elimination of wolves in northern New York and with the emergence of the coyote as a deer predator, raven numbers have recovered. Coyote predation on deer also may serve to foster a healthier deer population and ecosystem, particularly in remote areas where very few people hunt. Many farmers are delighted with the reduction in woodchuck numbers on their farms following the arrival of coyotes. Bill Curtis, the Cornell wildlife biologist, would agree and conclude, "hearing [coyotes] howling in the woods at night is a wonderful thing. And that's where we want to keep them — in the woods, away from people." Peter Hamilton is a freelance writer from Sherman. His email address is phamiler@ gmail.com. This is Part II of a three-part series on coyotes. The final installment will be in the January 18 issue of the Chautauqua Star.

Jack Link’s Major League Fishing
Final round continued from pg 1 Ty Rattie scored Canada's lone goal. Canada will play Saturday in the bronzemedal game (4 a.m. ET, NHLN-US, TSN) for the second straight year, against the losing team from the second semifinal. "It starts with desperation. We simply did not have the same desperation as the Americans had today," Canada coach Steve Spott told TSN. "They simply outworked our hockey club. There's no excuse for that." The United States jumped to a 4-0 lead after two periods, and backstopping the effort was Gibson, who made 36 saves. "He's been outstanding for us," United States coach Phil Housley told NHL Network. "He's given us a chance to win every game, and he's made some key saves for us." Gibson was at his best in the third period when Canada made its biggest push of the game on a power play midway through the period. Early in the advantage Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, who entered the game as the tournament's leading scorer, got the puck alone in the slot, but Gibson managed to get a piece of the shot with his glove, deflecting it over the crossbar. Seconds later, Gibson had to dive out to get his pad on a shot by Dougie Hamilton, who was open in the slot just to the right of the American net. "We had to weather the storm in the third period, we knew Canada would come," Housley said. "We pulled through and I'm very proud of our guys." The United States was playing its sixth game in eight days — and its third set of back-to-back games — while Canada was coming off a day of rest it earned for winning Group B. However, the Americans came out as the faster team and got the scoring started early. McCabe, the American captain who made the team based more on his defensive ability — he has just two goals in 16 games this season at the University of Wisconsin — pinched into the high slot to score the game's first goal. Riley Barber got open in front and had a pair of chances, but Canada goalie Malcolm Subban stopped both
attempts. The puck rolled back to Barber a third time, and he spotted McCabe by himself. McCabe's shot through heavy traffic found its way over Subban's glove at 7:18 for his second goal in six games of the WJC. Later in the first, Rocco Grimaldi rushed the puck into the Canada end and dropped a pass for McCabe, and he ripped a shot past Subban's glove with 3:58 left in the first to make it 2-0. The Americans continued to push the play in the second, with Gaudreau carrying the puck into the Canada end, making a nice move to drag the puck around Canadian defenseman Ryan Murphy and beating Subban just 2:58 into the period. Vesey made it 4-0 when he took a pass from Gaudreau, stepped around Canada's Xavier Ouellet and beat Subban to the far side, over his blocker, at 12:24. Canada had chances to get on the scoreboard, but Gibson made a nice save on an open Ryan Strome early in the period, and stopped Anthony Camara on a redirection with 1:28 left. The third period saw Canada finally generate offensive pressure as coach Steve Spott changed a few of his lines, but all they could manage came was Rattie's strange shorthanded goal at 4:03 of the period. With Canada skating a man down due to a penalty for having too many men on the ice, Canada was pressuring in the American end when Philip Danault's shot hit the side of the United States net and kicked into the slot. Rattie fired a shot that hit the post, and when it appeared one of the referees blew his whistle, the Americans thought the play had been blown dead. However, the puck bounced back to Rattie, who scored. The goal was upheld after a video replay. Canada continued to press, but Gibson kept allowed the Americans to hold on and Gaudreau's goal off a long pass from J.T. Miller closed the scoring. The goal was Gaudreau's seventh of the tournament, all in the last three games, and puts him one goal shy of Jeremy Roenick's American record of eight in one tournament.

Bills reportedly Interested In Wisenhunt
Russ Brandon was promoted to team president on Tuesday. It marks the first time Ralph Wilson has stepped down since the Tom Donahoe era nearly a decade ago. General Manager Buddy Nix will still be in charge of football operations. (Submitted by Buffalo Bills)
The Bills are in the midst of their fi fth coaching search since 2001. They're coming off their second consecutive 6-10 season and extended the NFL's longest playoff drought to 13 years. Over that stretch, Buffalo only once had a winning record - 9-7 in 2004. Wilson, the franchise's founder, has only once before given up the title of president. That was in 2001, when he hired Tom Donahoe to also serve as general manager. Donahoe was fi red after the 2005 season, at which point Wilson took back the title and said he had no plan to ever give it up again. ''These past 13 years have been very difficult on our fans, and we have not produced the type of winning that they deserve,'' Wilson said in a statement ''We want our team to be one that our fans are proud of. I believe that Russ has the unique abilities to assemble and lead the talent we will need to get the job done.'' Brandon said the coaching search will be ''exhaustive'' in his attempt to revive a once-proud franchise who's brand and relevancy he described as ''tarnished.'' ''We haven't won enough games.
And that's on us,'' Brandon said. ''And we're going to change it. We need to change it. And I will go to the end of the earth to make sure that we change it.'' Nix will report directly to Brandon, while maintaining authority over football operations. Nix declined to be pinned down on the what he's looking for in a coaching candidate, saying: ''This time, I think it's wide open.'' That's a switch from three years ago, when Nix narrowed his parameters on hiring someone with previous head-coaching experience and an offensive background. On other issues, Nix called it ''an organizational'' decision to fi re Gailey. Nix backtracked on the unconditional support he voiced toward Gailey in November by saying: ''Things change, and it changed some with us. We kind of collapsed at the end. That made a difference.'' As for starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick's future, Nix said that will be left up to the next coach. Brandon completed his 16th season with the Bills, and has been serving as the team's chief operating officer since 2008.

and other front office personnel were fl ying to Arizona with Horton and Whisenhunt presumed to be among those targeted for the Bills' coaching vacancy. Horton also is reported to be a candidate for the Cleveland Browns. Reid is an intriguing prospect for the Cardinals. He could be reunited with quarterback Kevin Kolb, who had some big games with the Eagles before being traded to Arizona just before the start of the 2011 season. Kolb remains under contract with Arizona but the team is expected to want to restructure his contract. He is set to make $9 million plus a $2 million roster bonus for the coming season.
''I'm not ready to give up on Kevin Kolb yet,'' Bidwill said Monday. Bidwill has to interview McCoy this weekend in Denver under NFL rules that provide a narrow window for such meetings with members of coaching staffs whose teams have a bye the fi rst round of the playoffs. McCoy also has an interview scheduled with the Browns. Larry Fitzgerald, who had one of his worst seasons as the Cardinals struggled at the quarterback position, weighed in on the fi ring of Whisenhunt and general manager Rod Graves. In a lengthy tweet, Fitzgerald thanked the pair for giving him the opportunity to ''live my dream in
the NFL.'' ''We all shoulder the blame for a disappointing season which began with such promise,'' Fitzgerald wrote. He said that ''even in the midst of a tumultuous season, it was still a pleasure to work for the staff we served under, and for that we remain grateful.'' ''Their professionalism will provide for renewed accomplishments in different environs,'' Fitzgerald wrote. ''We all, to a man, thank them and wish them the best.'' Whisenhunt set the record for victories by a Cardinals coach, going 45-51 in six seasons, 4-2 in the playoffs. The team got off to a 4-0 start but lost
11 of 12 to fi nish 5-11 for the second time in three seasons. Whisenhunt and his staff was never able to fi nd success on offense after the retirement of Kurt Warner, who quarterbacked the team to its surprise run to the Super Bowl in the 2008 season and the NFC West title in 2009. Bidwill said he decided over the last few weeks that Whisenhunt and Graves should be replaced, making the fi nal decision on Sunday night. Graves had been with the organization for 16 years. Bidwill said he had no preference on the order of hiring a new general manager and coach.

REDISCOVERING JACK LONDON
Thursday Feburary 14th 7:00 PM 1891 Fredonia Opera House Today, Jack London is remembered as the essential juvenile adventure author. Nearly all of us read The Call of the Wild, White Fang, or The SeaWolf when we were in school. Yet that memory does a prodigious injustice to this author. He was a sports journalist, an adventurer and travel writer, a war correspondent, a wildly inventive novelist, and in his time the most famous and highest paid writer in America. What on earth happened? In a word, he was also a passionate crusader for social justice, and the things that he found wrong with America—child labor, economic oppression—people did not want to hear about.
THE WILD THEATRICAL PERFORMANCE
Thursday Feburary 21st 9:00 AM Reg Lenna Civic Center 116 East 3rd St, Jamestown NY The Wild, an original play written for our Big Read by playwright Ted Sharon. The Call of the Wild comes to life in this live-action theatrical event. Buck is stolen from his comfortable home in California and thrust into the ruthless life of a Yukon sled dog. He must adapt or die in an epic struggle for survival. As the men he toils for are drawn forward by Arctic gold, Buck hears a different call—a call from deep within that summons his to return to the Wild. This matinee performance is free to the general public as well as Middle and High School students.
Join us as we rediscover who Jack London really was, at The Big Read. James L. Haley is the author of WOLF: The Lives of Jack London, winner of the 2011 Spur Award for Best Biography from the Western Writers of America.
