Senator young Warns Area Residents To Be Vigilant Against Ongoing iRS Phone Scam ArEA rESiDENTS HAvE ALrEADy CoNTACTED THE SENATor’S offiCE AfTEr rECEiviNG A SCAM CALL

Contributed Article office, sheriff departOffice of Senator Catharine Young

Senator Catharine Young (R,I,C- Olean) is warning area residents to be on the lookout in response to an ongoing phone scam that has already plagued several local residents. The scam begins with a resident receiving a call from someone purporting to be an agent of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The caller informs the resident they owe money to the IRS and demands it be paid promptly through a pre-loaded debit card or wire transfer. If the victim refuses to cooperate, they are then threatened with arrest or suspension of a business or driver’s license. The threatening phone call is usually followed up by an additional phone call claiming to be from a local police

ment, or DMV office. Often these calls will be spoofed so that the victim’s caller ID supports the fake claims. “In recent weeks my office has received several reports about a phone scam that has hit our area, putting people’s savings and identities at risk. Con artists like the ones that have been reported to my office are using sophisticated dialing technology to spoof numbers, including the IRS and local sheriff ’s offices, in order to pressure victims into transferring funds to cover bogus ‘back taxes.’ Area residents, especially our seniors and those with limited income, are often the target of these scams, which can potentially cost victims hundreds or thousands of dollars,” Senator Young said. An IRS News Bulletin

from October 2014 stated that any legitimate contact from the IRS with taxpayers on a tax issue is likely to occur via mail. Additionally, the IRS does not initiate contact with taxpayers to request personal or financial information by any type of electronic communication, such as text message, email, or social media channels. The IRS also does not ask for PINs, passwords or similar confidential access information for credit card, bank or other financial accounts. “Area residents should be extra vigilant in the coming months, especially as tax season approaches, as con artists are using this scam to target taxpayers in nearly every state. If you ever believe you are receiving an inappropriate request, I strongly urge you to contact the IRS region-

al office in Buffalo at 716-961-5100,” continued Senator Young. According to the IRS, additional characteristics of this scam include: scammers using fake names and IRS badge numbers; scammers spoofing the IRS toll-free number on caller ID to make it appear that it’s the IRS calling; and bogus IRS emails. If someone receives this call, and they have an outstanding tax bill, they should call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040 so an IRS employee can assist them with a payment issue – if there really is such an issue. If someone does not owe back taxes, or has no reason to think that owe any taxes, they are encouraged to report the incident to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 1-800366-4484.

Stakeholders Meet Regarding Fenton Research Center Hosts Annual Lock-In the Integrated Sewage Management Plan for Chautauqua Lake Contributed Article volves improvements at Office of the County Executive

County officials, community leaders and representatives from the sewer districts that surround Chautauqua Lake recently gathered in Mayville to discuss implementation of the recommendations of the Integrated Sewage Management Plan for Chautauqua Lake. The Integrated Sewage Management Plan examines current sewage treatment practices around Chautauqua Lake and provides recommendations to achieve regulatory compliance for the phosphorus reductions that have been mandated by State and Federal regulatory agencies. “Phosphorus enters Chautauqua Lake directly from wastewater treatment plant discharges and indirectly from the many privately owned septic systems that are located in the un-sewered areas around the Lake,” said Chautauqua County Executive Vince Horrigan. “The Integrated Sewage Management Plan identified two initiatives that would result in significant phosphorus reductions.” The first initiative in-

The second initiative involves an expansion of the North Chautauqua Lake Sewer District’s wastewater treatment plant, annexation of the Chautauqua Heights Sewer District and a sewer district expansion along Route 430 from Hartfield to Midway Park. “The Integrated Sewage Management Plan helped us to understand a complex set of issues and develop priorities for achieving compliance with the Total Maximum Daily Load or TMDL for phosphorus that was established by the regulatory agencies,” said Mark Geise, Chautauqua County Deputy Director of Planning and Economic Development. “As a result of the Plan, we realized that there are two primary initiatives involving the South and Center and North Chautauqua Lake Sewer Districts. Although both initiatives have common elements, they are significantly different in scope and have different challenges for implementa-

tion. The first step for each initiative involves undertaking a Preliminary Engineering Report that provides a planning level of detail for the capital improvements, district creation, environmental impacts and anticipated funding. This will allow us to fully understand the scope of work involved as well as provide support for state and federal funding opportunities.” Chautauqua County Legislator Pierre Chagnon noted that there are significant long-term human and environmental health benefits, as well as cost advantages associated with centralized wastewater treatment for property owners. He said, “It was 50 years ago that Chautauqua County first adopted regulations for septic systems, and many systems are now ineffective and are in need of replacement.” Town of Chautauqua Supervisor Don Emhardt added, “It’s not uncommon for a new replacement septic system for a property located in a densely developed area with poor soils to cost $20,000 to $40,000, and these numbers do not include the $1,000 to $2,000 cost each year to maintain the systems

ever, the High Bramin, who also is in love with Nikiya, overhears them. He rushes to reveal their secret to the Rajah, who has decided that Solor will marry his beloved daughter Gamzatti. La Bayadere (the word refers to an Indian temple dancer) is a key work in the clas-

sical ballet repertoire; and this is a magnificent production. The story of impossible love between Nikiya and Solor is set against the backdrop of a lush, mysterious India. Marius Pepita’s choreography, here in a new scenic version by Yuri Grigorovich, is exquisite. The scene known as The Kingdom of

Shades is one of the most celebrated in the history of ballet. Bolshoi principals Svetlana Zakharova and Maria Alexandrova bring the characters of this romantic ballet to life. The production runs, two hours, 45 minutes. Individual tickets to La Continued on page 12

goodness. I am not talking about just a "church life" with all the little outward appearances of a religious lifestyle. I am talking about authentic power to master all of life's circumstances that comes from boldness that will actually dare to live close to the Light. It is time that we started seeing "on Earth as it is in Heaven." If you are a believer then it is time that you learn who you are, what is yours, and what Rev. Timothy Stahlman you can do through Him. Family Church Jamestown When you live close fcjamestown.org to God in a "sold out" attitude towards Him and His Word you will live like We are living in the times God lives. The scriptures when people need to know just what is available to them will be a living script on display for you to enjoy. For through God's love and

example, Philippians 4:6 can be REALITY to you. It says, "Do not fret or have anxiety about anything..." Can you imagine that the Bible says that anxiety free living is possible? That means God says it is His Will for a person never to have anything to worry about ever again. How is that possible? Let's read the rest of the verse. It says, "... but in every circumstance and in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving CONTINUE to make your wants known to God." (Amplified Bible) When you are talking to God about every circumstance with thanksgiving and continuing in this habit that means you are walking close to Him.

When you get close to Him you get what He has. Does God ever pace the floor in worry about circumstances? No. That will rub off on you because now you begin to pick up His traits. We will begin to act like those we are closely associated with. Our nature is the sum of who we stay close too. If we live in this God consciousness in our circumstances His worry free nature becomes our nature. If worry is part of your everyday life then chances are you haven't been walking with the Master as closely as you can. God's nature is never filled with worry therefore it is His Will that we are never filled with worry. We are His children. He wants us to be just like

Himself. "On Earth as it is in Heaven" Is there any anxiety in Heaven? God has predestined or prearranged that we should live the life that Jesus lived when He was here on Earth. Romans 8:29 says, "For whom he did foreknow he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son..." God's plan is for us to walk, talk, think, and act just like Jesus and have the same results Jesus had. What was Jesus doing in the storm while it looked like the boat was sinking? He was sleeping peacefully on a pillow. (Mark 4:35-40) How could He do that? God's nature was His nature through a close walk with the Father.

Detained, blindfolded and brutally interrogated in prison for four months, Bahari’s captors used an interview and sketch that Maziar did with a journalist on Stewart’s “The Daily Show” as evidence that Maziar was a spy and in communication with the American government and the CIA. Stewart was so affected by the event that he took the summer off from “The Daily Show” in 2013 to write and direct the fi lm. Stephen Rea, in the Philadelphia Inquirer, calls the fi lm “a strong, striking political drama.” Soren Anderson,

in the Seattle Times, calls it “finely wrought, powerful.” Richard Corliss, in TIME magazine, says “the virtue of this movie is its commitment to political ambiguity and emotional truth.” Joe Neumaier, in the New York Daily News, adds “while it may seem like another triumphover-adversity tale, the movie is really about what sustains us during impossible moments.” Rated R for language including some crude references, and violent content, “Rosewater” runs 103 minutes. The Opera House Cinema Series is sponsored by Lake Shore Savings Bank. Tickets are available at the door for $7 (adults), $6.50 (seniors & Opera House

without a hybrid or diesel powertrain. As you go looking for a 2012-2013 Mazda3, be sure to specifically seek out a Skyactiv model, which should feature a small Skyactiv badge on the outside of the car. Although we also like non-Skyactiv 2012-2013 Mazda3 models, they won’t quite reach the 40 mpg figure. 2008-2011 smart fortwo We recognize that the tiny smart fortwo probably isn’t for everyone, given its 2-seater interior and its bold, eyecatching styling. But drivers who don’t mind the fortwo’s drawbacks will find some substantial benefits, including fuel economy ratings of up to 41 mpg hwy and pricing that starts around $7,500 for a 2008 model. The fortwo also offers impressive crash protection, thanks to a built-in cage around the driver, and there’s more cargo space than you might expect. The small hatchback

even features a standard automatic transmission. In essence, the fortwo is a great subcompact car for thrifty drivers who don’t usually carry more than one other passenger. 2004-2009 Toyota Prius We’re big fans of the secondgeneration Toyota Prius, which came out for the 2004 model year. Fuel economy is, of course, one reason why. Upon its debut, the Prius was rated at an impressive 60 mpg city/51 mpg hwy, later revised to a still-excellent 48 mpg city/45 mpg hwy. But we like the Prius for other reasons, too. One is its excellent cargo volume, which rivals many modern SUVs, thanks to its hatchback design. Then there’s the interior, which boasts roomy front seats and a large back seat, and the icing on the cake is the hybrid hatchback’s reasonable pricing: A used 2004 Prius is easily available for around $7,000.

2005-2010 Volkswagen Jetta TDI When excellent fuel economy is the question, Volkswagen’s diesel-powered Jetta TDI is often one of the top answers. We especially like the 2005-2010 model, which offered 35 mpg city/43 mpg hwy. These are strong figures for a small to midsize car that doesn’t used a hybrid or plug-in hybrid drivetrain. Of course, we also appreciate the Jetta’s notoriously excellent Germancar build quality, along with standard features such as keyless entry, power accessories, air conditioning and cruise control -- all of which is available on AutoTrader. com for around $8,300 if you choose a well-kept 2005 model.

My New Me Solutions for 2015

Contributed Article WCA Hospital

Written by Toni DeAngelo, R.N., WCA Hospital Community & Wellness Director I have changed the way I think about New Years Resolutions especially after researching the facts that 80% of people fail to achieve New Year’s resolutions. Why, just the word “resolution” is scary. The word “resolution” means, a decree, a pledge, a promise, an oath, a vow. WOW. With a mindset like that no wonder it is too hard to achieve goals especially with last minute notions like, “I am starting my diet tomorrow” or “I am quitting smoking at midnight”. We set ourselves up for failure with good intentions, but high non-realistic expectations, and not enough time, preparation, and thoughtfulness behind what we want to achieve. For those resolutions to work and become part of our everyday life they need proper preparation, planning and practice to become successful, sustained lifestyle changes. Now, I want you to say the word “solution” Doesn’t that conjure up a much lighter, more successful, less pressured, emotional feeling in your gut…like, yes I CAN accomplish my goal? A solution is the “ahha” moment, the “answer”, and a positive, motivating

key to success towards the “New Me” you and I always strive to be! So I’ve changed my phrasing and instead of saying, My New Years Resolution”, I say “My New Me Solutions”! For instance, if your solution is to eat healthier, and increase your physical activity, here is a three-week jump start on your solutions through “New Me” preparation, planning and practice 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 experiment 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 program 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 alongside of you.

Western New York has so many great places to see and things to do. Each city, village and town has a story, and we’ve set out to tell that story. We’ll go through the county, place by place, for the next few months. Check back every week for the next edition of “This Great County." is like “one big happy family.” Giancarlo (who is also an entertainer in the band Crash Cadillac,) goes on the call the community, “beautiful,” “down-to-earth,” and “tightly knit.” “For example, an organization called “Friends of the Village” raises money to hang flowerbaskets in the town, in front of businesses. DPW and the individual business owners handle the upkeep.” The quaint charm of the village can be witnessed on a brief stroll through their downtown region. Aside from the flowers, this area features tastefully constructed landscaping, newly finished sidewalks, memorial trees, and lavish oldfashioned clocks. While much of this material is newly finished, it is easy to see the history that Angola is built on. Drive down Route 5 and steal a glimpse of what was the Grandview Drive In movie theater or the beauty

salon that opened underneath it. Still, perhaps most notably, Angola has its beaches. Places like Southshore Beach Club, Mickey Rats, and Joe’s Beach Bar bring a youthful exuberance to the beach community. These clubs are marked by swimsuits, live music, DJ’s, and drink specials. However many members of the community prefer a more relaxed atmosphere, and they have their beach spots as well. Directed more toward family crowds and nature-lovers, Bennett Beach is known for

Grills and picnic tables are on site, so Bennett Beach makes a perfect picnic spot suitable for the whole family. While Angola is a small village, Giancarlo claims that it is “on the rise.” With recent renovations done to the New Angola Theater and a summer concert series booked, Angola’s summer looks bright. Giancarlo says, “life here is beautiful. There are young couples coming in to buy homes.

There are businesses coming in. Everyone seems happy with the government and the way its run.” With so many scenic locations up and down Lake Erie, it would be easy to overlook Angola based on its size. However, Angola offers a welcoming community atmosphere and a wide variety of ways to enjoy the village’s unmissable natural surroundings: the beaches.

Panama Legend Keeney As much Father as Coach

Sherwood “Scrubby” last filed a story for The Post-Journal more than 40 years ago, but is still remembered as one of the region’s best sportswriters. “Scrubby Olson was a stickler for details,” wrote former PostJournal sports editor Frank Hyde in 1973, “an outspoken, honest reporter who wrote it as he saw it. No man in this profession can do more.” In nearly two decades covering high school sports, particularly Jamestown High School, Scrubby set the standard for those who followed. “Nothing escaped Scrubby’s attention,’’ former JHS football coach Terry Ransbury said in 2013. “He was always around — locker room, practice field, games and telephone. I always felt he was harboring a great desire to be a coach.” And, in many ways, Scrubby was just that, a man who always seemed to be laying out just the right game plan for sportswriters who followed. Tragically, Scrubby’s tenure at The Post-Journal was cut short. On Friday, Sept. 14, 1973, he covered JHS’ 22-0 football victory at Dunkirk, highlighted by an 85-yard opening kickoff return for a touchdown by Manny Leeper. In the wee hours of Saturday, Sept. 15, the 48-yearold Board of Public Utilities meter reader by day and

John Keeney was born in 1940 in WilkesBarre, Pa., but the heart and home of the man known as “Jack” belonged in Chautauqua County for more than half a century. A physical education teacher at Panama Central School for 34 years (1962-1996), Keeney was the Panthers’ football coach for 33 years and athletic director for 30. In his time calling the shots from the sideline, he posted a 154106-10 record, won four division titles and had four unbeaten seasons. A former Section VI football chairman, Keeney also coached track and field, basketball, baseball, volleyball and swimming during his tenure at Panama. To honor his service, the athletic complex at the school was named the Jack Keeney Community Field in 1998. The dedication was deserving. Keeney was 22 years old and fresh out of Cortland College when he took over as Panama’s football coach. “The coaches were just big kids in ’62,’’ said Ed Trisket, then a freshman on Keeney’s first team, “so they actually all decided they would scrimmage against us.” So Keeney and company pulled on the pads, snapped on the chin straps to their helmets and went toe-to-toe with the teenagers. “We thought we’d get some licks against them,’’ Trisket said, “but we were the ones who got licked.”

Easily My New Favorite HOF Class By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

With all apologies to my wife, golf and my dog Rudy, baseball was my first true love. I don’t know how old I was the first time my oldest brother and my dad took me outside and taught me how to throw a baseball. Being semi-ambidextrous, I probably didn’t even know which arm I was supposed to throw with. But from the first pop of the ball in the mitt, I loved baseball. It wasn’t long after that moment that I started playing T-ball like most youths in this area. Continued on pg 25

commentary, continued from page 24 It was probably that same summer that I attended my first Major League Baseball game in Pittsburgh at Three Rivers Stadium. My blood immediately turned black and gold and I’ve been a Pirates fan ever since. But it wasn’t just players in the Pirates uniform that I adored, perhaps even idolized. Yes, I realize it was probably a poor time in baseball history for a young athlete to idolize players as there was so much rampant drug use that we just assume everyone was using steroids. But players like Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez, John Smoltz and Craig Biggio were players that never suited up for the Pirates, but were a joy to watch anyway. Coincidently (or not — I didn’t exactly pull those names from thin air), those four players will all be inducted to the Baseball Hall Of Fame in 2015. For Smoltz, Johnson and Martinez, they each got in on their first attempt and for good reason. For the better part of two decades, these were three of the very best pitchers in baseball. Biggio finally got in on his third attempt, but that doesn’t make him any less of a Hall of Famer than anyone else that’s enshrined in Cooperstown. Last year’s class of Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine and Frank Thomas was fun, too, but Johnson and Martinez are probably my two favorite pitchers of all time. Such different players, but so much fun to watch. And while I spent a good portion of his career rooting against Biggio because he got a whole lot of those 3,060 hits against my beloved Buccos, the former Astro is also a big reason why this year’s class is my favorite of all time. As a quick note, this class will probably be eclipsed by whoever gets in with Ken Griffey, Jr. — undoubtedly my favorite player of all time. But for now, let’s take a look at this amazingly talented, supremely entertaining quartet. First, there’s Randy Johnson. The 6-foot-10 lefty becomes the tallest

player in the Hall, eclipsing 6-6 Dave WInfield by four full inches. If there has ever been a more intimidating player in baseball history, I wasn’t blessed to watch him play. Johnson’s classic mullet and scowl were as much a part of the package as the 100-mph fastballs and the wipeout sliders. Another brief note, Johnson’s slider and Martinez’s changeup might just be the best two pitches I’ve ever seen. Brandon Webb’s sinker is up there, too, for what it’s worth. But of course, you don’t get into the Hall of Fame with just a menacing stare and a mullet (though it has to help, right?). Johnson amassed an impressive 97.3 percent of the votes by virtue of his five Cy Young Awards, 303 wins and 4,875 strikeouts — second only to Nolan Ryan in baseball history. He became the oldest player to ever toss a perfect game while still dominating for the Arizona Diamondbacks at age of 40. It was his second career no-hitter. Johnson’s final pitch of that game was a 98-mph fastball past Eddie Perez. Pedro Martinez was one of the more polarizing players of the past 20 years. But now, even Yankees fans have to admit his greatness. At 5-foot-11, Pedro is nearly a foot shorter than Johnson, but at his peak, was the best pitcher I’ve ever seen. In the height of the steroid era, when balls were flying out of stadiums at a record pace, the Red Sox ace put up a season in 2000 that looked like this: 18-6, 1.74 ERA, four shutouts, seven complete games, 284 strikeouts and a Cy Young Award. His 1999 season might have been even better with a 23-4 record, 2.07 ERA and 313 strikeouts in 213 innings. This was the season that he made a mockery of the All-Star Game by striking out the first four batters that he faced. Barry Larkin, Larry Walker, Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire all struck out and then Jeff Bagwell went down on strikes, too. Matt Williams getting caught stealing was the only thing that prevented Pedro from striking

out six All Stars in his two innings of work. That two-year stretch lines up statistically with pitchers of the dead-ball era. Martinez was so much better than everyone else that was throwing baseballs at this time, all I could do was marvel. Of course, his constant pranks on his teammates in the dugout and his constant smile made him that much more endearing. Unless you’re a Yankees fan, of course. Then you probably just remember him assisting Don Zimmer to the

ground during that famous brawl. But man, that changeup. Devastating. John Smoltz was part of that incredible Atlanta rotation in the mid-90s with fellow HOFers Maddux and Glavine. Even among that trio, Smoltzie could often be said to be the best of the bunch. Especially in 1996, when he won 24 games and struck out 276 batters en route to winning the Cy Young Award.

commentary, continued from page 25 After missing all of the 2000 season with an injury, the Braves tinkered with Smoltz in the bullpen. Then from 2002-2004, he saved 144 games and was the best closer in baseball. His ERA of 1.12 in 2003 is hard to even fathom for that era. Smoltz then went back to starting and won 44 games from 2005-2007. Never before (and probably never again) had a player been able to be so incredibly successful in both roles, especially switching back and forth. Personally, I was very glad to see Smoltz get in on his first try. Because of his odd stats, I was worried that he’d lose votes for not having those magic numbers like 300 wins. But there was never any doubt, nor can there be now, that John Smoltz is a Hall of Famer. Craig Biggio is another player with a crazy journey to the Hall of Fame. The guy spent his entire career with the Houston Astros, but moved around the field seemingly every season. He began his career as a catcher and was an All Star at the position. Then he moved to second base and was an All Star there. He spent three seasons playing center field and never looked overmatched. That’s three positions up the middle

of the field. He did all of this while being one of the best leadoff hitters of his generation. With over 3,000 hits, it seemed inevitable that Biggio would make the Hall eventually, but it did take three tries after falling just two votes

shy last year. Almost as impressive as his 3,000 hits are his 668 doubles. In 1998, Biggio hit 51 doubles and stole 50 bases. That wasn’t exactly a fluke as he hit an astounding 56 doubles the next season and swiped 414 bases

for his career. He was an incredibly durable player despite leading the league in HBP five times. He was plunked 285 times in his career. Ouch. That’s four deserving players that will be rewarded for all they did for the game of baseball and its fans. I would say I couldn’t be happier to see them get in, except there are still players that need to be in the Hall that aren’t. Guys like Mike Piazza, Jeff Bagwell and Tim Raines saw their support grow on this year's ballot, but those are three players that are HOFers in my book. Pete Rose, Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens are three of the greatest players ever and they aren’t in the HOF for varying reasons. The problem is that it’s not the Hall of Ethics. All of their stats still count. The titles they won weren’t stripped from their teams. Are we just supposed to pretend that they never existed? Ugh. But that’s a commentary for another day.

sportswriter by night, was stricken at home and pronounced dead on arrival at WCA Hospital. Steve Corey, a colleague of Scrubby’s at The Post-Journal, eulogized in print a man he described as a “quiet sportsman.” “His words and thoughts on sport were always calm and measured,’’ Corey wrote. “In high school sports, he was always more concerned about the individual personalities than about the team entities, always praising strongly and denouncing quietly. He never allowed his interest in sports to override his interest in what went to make up those sports: people.’’ In addition to JHS sports, Scrubby also covered track and field, golf and most of the Section VI basketball playoffs. Months after his passing, The Post-Journal established the Scrubby Olson Memorial Trophy, an award presented to the area basketball scoring champion. For more than two decades, boys and girls from the Post-Journal circulation area were honored for their hoops prowess, their names connected to a man who not only loved the game, but who also loved the young people who played it even more.

What Trisket couldn't have known then, but certainly appreciates now is that the impact that Keeney left on him and countless others on the field behind the school nearly 53 years ago actually has served as a metaphor for how to live one's life. "He was almost like a father,'' the Niobe resident said. The “father” of Panama athletics, Keeney also served as the mayor of Celoron from 2009 until his death in 2013. Loren Smith was smitten by Keeney almost immediately upon meeting him about 30 years ago. Smith, now a teacher at Panama and a former assistant football coach, described his friend and mentor as an "innovator, a motivator and a captivator.'' "At the end of the day (he taught me) that how you treat people and the relationship you have with other people is going to be your legacy,'' Smith said. "He treated people really, really well, whether they were athletes or bookworms in the classroom. He could find a way to get the most out of people around him.''

Terrible Start Dooms Sabres Against Devils By Mike Farrell AP Sports Writer

Patrik Elias was in a reflective mood after notching his 1,000th NHL point. Elias had a goal and two assists, and the New Jersey Devils beat the struggling Buffalo Sabres 4-1 on Tuesday night. ''I don't think I ever considered myself a goal scorer, coming here when I was 19 years old,'' said Elias, who notched No. 399 on Tuesday. ''I love playing hockey, being a playmaker. I never imagined I'd be in this position.'' Now in his 17th season - all with the Devils Elias reached the milestone in his 1,187th game. ''It's special to do it for one team,'' the 38-year-old Elias said. ''Sometimes it's hard to score, the way we've played our systems. You have great years, you have injuries. You have to battle through it. It's not easy to get to 1,000 points.'' Travis Zajac and Michael Cammalleri each had a goal and an assist. ''When a guy's played 1,000 games, that's a really great career,'' Cammalleri said. ''Now 1,000 points, that's a whole other level. There's a lot that goes into that. It's quite an accomplishment for him.'' Jordin Tootoo also scored as the Devils won consecutive games for the first time since Nov. 14. Cory Schneider made 20 saves. It seems as though the Devils need a milestone from a veteran to get a victory these days. The modest two-game streak began Saturday night against Philadelphia when 42-year-old Jaromir Jagr scored three times and became the oldest NHL player to have a hat trick. On Tuesday, Mikhail Grigorenko netted his first goal of the season for the Sabres, who have lost five straight and are 1-8-1 in their last 10 games. ''We're not playing within our system,'' defenseman Tyler Myers said. ''We're not doing things we normally do. I think it all comes down to preparation.'' Myers returned to the Buffalo lineup after missing seven games with a lower-body injury. The Devils dominated the first period, jumping out to a 3-0 lead and outshooting the Sabres 13-4. Elias had a goal and an assist in the frame. He opening the scoring at 3:44, redirecting Cammalleri's pass between Jhonas Enroth's pads. Tootoo made it 2-0 at 9:49 with a wrist shot from above the left circle that sailed over Enroth's glove. Schneider earned the second assist, giving

chances. We just came out too soft, and they took it to us.'' The Sabres couldn't break through again, and Cammalleri iced the game for New Jersey with an empty-net goal. That gave Elias the milestone assist as he became the 82nd player to reach 1,000 points. NOTES: The Sabres recalled Varone and C Brian Flynn from Rochester (AHL) on Monday. ... Buffalo scratched RW Brian Gionta (upper body), RW Drew Stafford, D Andrej Meszaros and D Andre Benoit. ... New Jersey scratched LW Martin Havlat (illness), D Peter Harrold (facial injury), and D Eric Gelinas (illness). ... Devils D Mark Fraser and Stewart fought right after the faceoff following Elias' goal. ... Schneider has seven career assists. Martin Brodeur, the longtime goalie he replaced, had 45 assists and two goals with the Devils.

Self-Proclaimed Expert Picks: Divisional Playoffs By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

WEEK 17 VS. SPREAD: 8-8 (.500) WEEK 17 STRAIGHT PICKS: 11-5 (.688) SEASON VS. SPREAD: 129-125 (.508) SEASON STRAIGHT PICKS: 159-94 (.628) With our unusual schedule with print runs here at the Chautauqua Star, I wasn’t able to make picks for the wild card playoff round, but I’m not sure there were any real upsets. Baltimore was the only team to win on the road, but I’ve been talking down about Pittsburgh all season long, so I wasn’t exactly shocked. All in all, I’m pretty happy with the season picks. The spread picks were right around .500, which is what the spread is designed to do. The straight picks were well over .600, which is pretty fantastic. Sure, there were a number of games (94 of them to be exact) that I’d like to have back, but you can’t win them all. The big stories out of last week’s game came from the Dallas-Detroit game, won by Dallas to set up a great matchup between the Cowboys and the Packers. But, in case you’ve been living under a rock, there was a late flag thrown against Dallas for pass interference. It was probably more of a hold than interference, but the refs inexplicably picked up the flag without explanation. Even as a noted Lions hater, I felt for the players and the fans. That could have sealed the game. But then the Lions’ punter shanked about a seven-yard punt, Dallas got great field position and won the game. Now I’m not here to spew out any conspiracy theories or anything like that (though there’s too much money in sports to suggest that there’s not shady goings on somewhere), but I think it was the lack of explanation that really got to viewers. You can’t just pretend that nothing happened. Either way, that play alone didn’t cost the Lions the game. They had a 13-point lead and blew it. That’s on them, not the officials. Other notes from last week: Not surprisingly, the Bengals lost a first-round playoff game. They’ve now gone one-and-done in four straight postseasons. Marvin Lewis is now 0-6 in playoff games as head coach of the Bengals. That initially sounds horrible, but try to remember just how bad the Bengals organization was before Lewis got there. The Colts offense is clearly explosive, but that defense will need to step up if the Colts

want to advance. The Steelers had some nice wins this season, but I don’t think anyone expected Pittsburgh to make a Super Bowl run. The Cardinals were undone by a total lack of offense. Just a horrible, horrible offense. To the picks!

fact, you might be able to make the argument that New England is the team that should be nervous about this matchup. We haven’t seen the Patriots in full strength for quite some time. That squad that took the field against the Bills in Week 17 wasn’t the same team that Baltimore will line up against. Rob Gronkowski missed the first couple games and sat out the last game and still managed to catch 82 balls for 1,124 yards and 12 touchdowns. Not a bad bounce-back season after last year’s injuryplagued campaign. Tom Brady hasn’t won a Super Bowl in a decade. It’s true. Not since the 24-21 win over the

BALTIMORE RAVENS (10-6) at NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS (12-4) This seems familiar. Neither of these two teams is green to the playoffs. Both quarterbacks have Super Bowl rings.

The guy has been one of the NFL’s fiercest competitors for the last decade but Workers’ Compensation has spent his career wasting away in Carolina. Now he finally has a real shot at winning a Super Fessenden, Laumer & DeAngelo Bowl. He might be shadowed by Darrelle Revis, but expect Smith to make an impact on this 81 Forest Avenue, Jamestown, New York 14701 game one way or another. The aura of Foxboro can be intimidating in January, but there’s zero percent chance of the Ravens having their mojo interrupted by that. They’ve been there in the Representing Injured People and Their Families playoffs. They’ve won there in the playoffs. In

The Giants and Steelers have each won two Super Bowls since Brady last got one. That’s not to say that Brady can’t do it this year. Yes, he’s older than over (shocking statement, I know), but that team around him is solid. The lack of a running game could hurt, but if there’s a coach that can get the most from a ragtag bunch of RBs, it’s Bill Belichick. Don’t be surprised if you see LaGarrette Blount go off for 150 yards and three scores. Let’s be honest about the AFC. Even though we’re so sick of the Patriots and the Broncos at this point, we still kind of want to see another Brady-Manning matchup for all the marbles in the AFC.

NFL Domestic Violence Named AP Sports Story Of Year

The NFL's troubles with domestic violence were selected the sports story of the year Tuesday in an annual vote conducted by The Associated Press. Ninety-four ballots were submitted from U.S. editors and news directors. Voters were asked to rank the top 10 sports stories of the year, with the first-place story receiving 10 points, the secondplace story nine points and so on. NFL domestic violence received 659 points and 29 first-place votes. The No. 2 sports story, Clippers owner Donald Sterling forced out by the NBA after his racist statements, had 518 points. Here are 2014's top 10 stories: 1. NFL DOMESTIC VIOLENCE: Baltimore Ravens star running back Ray Rice knocked his now-wife unconscious in an Atlantic City casino elevator Feb. 15, but it wasn't until July 24 that domestic violence cases spiraled into a crisis roiling the NFL. Commissioner Roger Goodell suspended Rice for just two games, which drew widespread derision. More than a month passed before Goodell admitted he ''didn't get it right'' and announced harsher sanctions for future domestic violence offenses. But the NFL's problems were only beginning. On Sept. 8, TMZ Sports released video from inside the elevator that showed Rice punching his thenfiancee; the Ravens responded by releasing him and Goodell suspended him indefinitely. And on Sept. 12, one of the league's biggest stars, Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson, was indicted on felony child abuse charges for using a wooden switch to discipline his 4-year-old son. The Vikings initially planned to play him just over a week later, reversing course only after the ensuing uproar. The year ends with Rice reinstated by an arbitrator but without a team and Peterson suspended and suing the NFL. Chastened by those and other cases, the league is pushing a new personal conduct policy, but the players' union is balking at Goodell's role in the disciplinary process. 2. CLIPPERS' STERLING BANNED: Donald Sterling had withstood accusations of racism throughout his more than three decades as owner of the Los Angeles Clippers. But when audio surfaced April 25 of Sterling spewing racist remarks, he was banned for life by new NBA Commissioner Adam Silver just four days later and forced to sell the team.

OFF: Ohio State lost to Virginia Tech on Sept. 6. Oregon was upset by Arizona on Oct. 2, and Alabama fell to Ole Miss two days later. The rest of those teams' regular-season games still mattered because of the new College Football Playoff, which made more and more matchups meaningful deep into the fall. 7. TONY STEWART: One of NASCAR's biggest stars, Tony Stewart, was taking part in a small sprint car race in upstate New York on Aug. 9 when he struck and killed 20-year-old driver Remember former Los Angeles Clippers owner Kevin Ward Jr. A grand jury decided not to bring and noted racist?

WORLD CUP: Brazil's World Cup was a big celebration until those German goals started piling up. The expected massive protests didn't materialize, and the construction delays caused few headaches. The major disappointment came on the field when the hosts, without injured star Neymar, were thrashed 7-1 in the semifinals by eventual champion Germany. 9.

Lake Erie Fishing Hotline Contributed Article NYS Dept. of Environemtnal Conservation

The steelhead action was fairly good up through last weekend, with Chautauqua and Canadaway Creeks leading in catches. Colder temperatures set in and fishing effort has been low since. Currently, the small to medium sized creeks have moderate to lower flows, with varying amounts of shelf ice and slush. Cattaraugus Creek has dropped back to a fishable level, although it may still be a bit murky. With milder temperatures and rain forecasted for the weekend, creek levels will come up at some point. Productive wintertime steelhead baits include egg sacs, egg pattern fl ies, trout beads and hair jigs tipped with a waxworm (fished under a float). In cold water conditions, it is best to keep drifted offerings slow and deep, as steelhead are more lethargic and hugging the bottom. It is also good to concentrate efforts during the warmest part of the day when chasing winter steelhead. For those new to steelhead fishing, see the Steelhead Fishing in Lake Erie Tributaries page for information on steelhead fishing equipment, locations and links to stream maps.

If you need more fishing information or would like to contribute to the fishing report, please call or e-mail Mike Todd (716-851-7010; michael.todd@dec.ny.gov). Good Luck Fishing!

Lake Erie Harbors

Anglers have been catching a few brown trout from the city pier at Dunkirk Harbor. Anglers can also fish for trout from the DEC fishing platform. Live minnows, spoons, spinners and egg sacs are traditionally productive offerings for harbor trout.

A Personal Injur y Law Firm

upper Niagara river

High New Year's winds muddied upper river waters, and has the fishing on hold at present. When conditions permit, anglers can target trout along Broderick Park/Squaw Island and yellow perch from riverfront sites along the City of Buffalo. At this time, there is no safe ice to report at the Grand Island Marinas.

Chautauqua Lake

Parts of the south basin have ice coverings, but still not thick enough walk on. Most of the north basin remains open water.

ice fishing

There is still no safe ice to report in western New York. Before you head out on the ice this winter, remember that a minimum of 3 to 4 inches of solid ice (blue or black, not white) is the general rule for safety. Drilling holes or tapping with a spud bar to check ice thickness is recommended on your way out. Safety ice picks, boot cleats, throw rope and a floatation device are also recommended items. Use good judgment and fish with a friend when possible. Those new to ice fishing can check the Ice Fishing Basics page for more information.
