the Big reada Big opportunity By Patricia Pihl Managing Editor
I love people who speak about books, especially the Classics, with unbridled passion and enthusiasm, many times when referring to a character from a favorite piece of literature.

Turbulence constantly rages in the economic world. Without a map or a compass, it can be easy to become yet another lost soul struggling to survive. Even with tools at the ready, navigating the treacherous waters can be dangerous, especially in the inexperience of youth. However, Junior Achievement helps children to own their economic success. They foster the skills needed for young people to dream big and reach their full potential. “Our mission is to inspire and prepare young people to succeed in a global economy,” said Justine Januszkiewicz, the education and public relations manager at Junior Achievement of Western New York in Buffalo. “So, we partner with community volunteers to teach our Junior Achievement program in the classroom.” Junior Achievement works with local schools from kindergarten up until the 12th grade. Their curriculum focuses on entrepreneurship, financial literacy and work readiness. All of the lessons are hands on and engaging, keeping the students involved. “So, our volunteers provide a real world picture to the students,”

Chautauqua County Humane Society Pet of the Week
Pet of the Week
This week we are featuring “Roger”. He is a one-year-old pit bull mix. He already knows how to sit, lay down and shake, but he could use some help with walking nice on a leash. He is always ready to go for a walk or chase stuff and he really need lots of exercise to help him focus. He is a good boy that just needs a chance to show you what he’s got. Roger would love an active family that can take him with them to do stuff, but then will cuddle with him when all the activity is over. If he sounds like your kind of dog, won’t you come adopt him? He is waiting for that “just right” family to come take him home.

Winter precautions for your pet Contributed Article Fredonia Animal Hospital
on our furnaces and wood burning or pellet stoves. Make sure you have carbon monoxide detectors on each floor of your home. Portable space heaters can be knocked over by pets causing a fire. Pets are attracted to the warmth of stoves, but they can also be burned. Make sure yours has a secure screen in front of it to protect your pets and children. We sometimes lose power in the winter. If you use candles at any time, don’t leave them unsupervised. Pets can tip them over and curious cats are apt to singe their whisker and burn facial hair. Winter storms can come at any time. Make sure you have enough pet food on hand in case driving is too dangerous or prohibited. Whether due to the furnace running, the use of wood stoves or the general dryness in the air, our homes are much drier in the winter. The natural oils in our pets’ skin and coats will become depleted. If your pet scratches at the uncomfortable skin enough, she may develop an infection from the bacteria getting into openings in the skin. Be careful not to shampoo more than once monthly unless advised by your veterinarian. When you do shampoo, use a gentle product formulated with oatmeal. Your pet may benefit from fatty acid supplements at this time. Only give supplements specifically formulated for pets. Some pet foods con-
tain these supplements or you may fi nd them at your local animal hospital. Keep your pet at a healthy weight throughout the winter. Some pet owners feel that a little extra weight gives their pet some extra protection from cold, but the health risks associated with that extra weight don’t make it worth doing. If you are concerned, talk to your veterinarian about your pet’s nutritional needs during cold weather. Finally, more dogs are lost in the winter as they can lose scent tracks in the snow and become disoriented on recent snow covered areas. Make sure that they are wearing proper identification with your name, current address and phone number. Collars can slip off, so the best identification is a microchip under the skin. Shelters and veterinarians have scanners that detect microchips and provide a number unique to each dog tracing them back to their owner. Ask your vet about this generally low cost service and keep your address and phone number updated with the microchip company. Newer products on the market include GPS capable collars that will phone or text a dog owner when a dog has wandered away from his home territory, then guides you to their location.

With each season we must take precautions to protect our pets from the changing elements. In this region, winter brings us cold temperatures, ice, snow and dangers from the environment. When walking your dog, avoid lakes, ponds, streams and creeks. They may look frozen over, but they usually cannot handle the weight of a dog or person. Not all pets can tolerate the cold weather. Older dogs and those with arthritic conditions may not handle the colder temperatures well and are also more prone to slipping on the ice and snow, so they may have to have their walks shortened. Pets with diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, or hormonal imbalances (such as Cushing’s disease) may have a harder time regulating their body temperature, and may be more susceptible to problems from temperature extremes. There is a myth that dogs and cats handle extreme cold better than people because of their coats. This is not at all true. If your pet lacks a proper winter coat, please provide him with one when he goes outside. Limit time outdoors, and if the temperatures are below freezing, keep cats inside and limit dogs to only enough time to go to the bathroom. Outdoor cats are attracted
to the warmth of a parked car’s engine. When the engine is started they may get seriously injured. Give the hood of your car a tap before starting it to startle cats out of their hiding spots. Chemicals we use every day to combat winter conditions can be poisonous to our pets. Antifreeze that leaks from cars or spills when we are refi lling the car is exceptionally deadly to pets. The product is very sweet tasting to cats and dogs and they will lap it up if given the opportunity. It is very important to clean up spills immediately and keep containers tightly sealed and out of reach of pets and children. Look for antifreeze products that have bitter agents in them to make them unattractive to taste, or those that do not contain ethylene glycol. Sidewalk and road salt is also poisonous. Dogs and cats pick it up on their feet when they are outside, irritating their skin and pads. Afterward, they lick their paws and ingest the salt, which can cause illness. Rinse their feet off with lukewarm water when pets come back indoors. To prevent frostbite, always remove built up snow and ice from between the toes and toe pads. Around your own environment, use ice melt specifically designed for homes with pets. These products are also kinder to your hardwood floors and carpets! As it gets colder we turn

RELIGION SECTION Keeping the Faith
Dear Pastor, does God have a plan for my life? If so, how can I find it? This is a great and timely question, especially in light of the New Year. The Bible contains so many wonderful truths on this topic that it will take a few weeks to cover it adequately. Let me begin to look at this topic by looking at the first part of your question, “Does God have a plan for my life?” The answer to this is “yes!” Each and every one of us has a unique and God-designed plan and purpose for their life. Just as no
Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church Fredonia
two snowflakes are the same, so are no two God-given plans the same. Each plan is custom designed and is shared by no other person. The Bible also tells us that God had each of our paths planned out before the creation of the world (Ephesians 3:11). God also promises in Jeremiah 29:11 that these plans are good ones! This is comforting and exciting to me as it should be to you, too. It shows that there are no “worthless nobodies” in the kingdom of God. Each one of us is a “somebody” with a divine destiny! When we grasp this and accept this as true
in our life, it can change how we look at ourselves and our place in God’s Kingdom and the world. Life can become an exciting journey! Having a God given destiny also tells us that we are not just down here “doing the best we can” while we are eking out our existence. I have heard people say that “we are born already dying”. What a sad and defeatist attitude! According to God, we are so much more important than this! We have been created for a purpose and are important
to God and His purposes here on the earth. Our loving Father God has a wonderful and exciting plan for our life. The Bible states in Ephesians 3:20 that this plan is “exceedingly, abundantly above all that we could ask or think.” Knowing that God’s hand is on our life should give us a great sense of being valuable and loved by our Creator. Being armed with this truth will enable us to go into our life and be victorious with whatever we are called to do! Next week: “How do I find out God’s plan for my life?”

The Christian Authority Last week we looked at the reasons why so many horrible things take place on Earth. We learned that Satan was given power on Earth when Adam and Eve sinned. Satan is called the “god of this world” in 2 Corinthians 4:4. In Luke 4 we are told that Jesus was taken into the wilderness to be TEMPTED by the devil. (Luke 4:1-2) This doesn’t mean Jesus sinned, it means He was given the opportunity to sin, but he resisted. During this temptation Satan wanted Jesus to worship him in exchange for the power over the kingdoms of the Earth. Luke 4:6 says, “And the devil said unto him, all this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is DELIVERED
UNTO ME; and to whomsoever I will I give it.” Many people have said that Satan lied and couldn’t have given the power of the nations to Jesus. If Satan was lying then Jesus would have known it and there would not have been anything to be tempted over. Who delivered the nations to Satan? Did God? No, mankind did. Jesus Christ will take complete control of Earth someday, but until then Satan does have power here on Earth. However, Satan does not have authority over a Christian who knows who they are in Christ. Whether or not Satan can destroy your life depends on what kingdom you are participating in. Colossians 1:13 says that God has taken the BELIEVER out of
the authority of Satan’s kingdom and put them in God’s Kingdom of His Son. The Kingdom of God on Earth is made up of all those who have put their faith in Jesus Christ. The believer has been given the authority to exercise God’s principles on Earth and rule over darkness and evil temptation. Luke 10:19 says, ( Jesus speaking) “Behold I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” The Lord has granted us authority over any work of the devil. Will I automatically be safe from the attacks of the devil because I am a Christian? No, you have to use your authority. 1 Peter 5:8 says, “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring
lion walketh about, seeking whom he MAY devour.” The word MAY means “if you give him permission.” If you are a Christian and you are not putting away sin in your life by obeying the Word of God, then you will allow Satan to devour you because you will be participating in his kingdom. Participate in God’s kingdom by arming yourself with what the Bible says and then act on it. Then you will not “give place to the devil”. (Ephesians 4:27) Authority doesn’t work until you decide you use it. An off duty police officer who is out of uniform cannot stop anybody until he reveals his badge of authority. In the same way our authority over Satan will not work until we command him to halt his activity in our lives.
SENIOR SECTION
Active Senior Living For Active Seniors Seniorliving.com
You now have the time to do what you always wanted to do. What was that again? Hiking the Appalachian Trail? Volunteering at the Humane Society? Working part-time at a ski resort? Mentoring a child? With more seniors living longer and more active lives than ever before, how you choose to spend your retirement really is up to you. There are limitless ways to fill your days. Do what you want to do. A more active life means a better quality of life. Active Living Options First things first: if you’re healthy and active, you may just choose to live in the home you retired in—until it becomes more than you want or are able to handle. It’s a tough decision to leave the home you raised your family in, the neighborhood you’re used to and familiar with. But maybe your home is
just too big and requires too much upkeep. Or maybe you’d rather live with other active seniors. Maybe you just want a change. If so, you have plenty of options. Independent living communities are designed for the active and healthy senior who is able to live on their own. You can live in a home, condo, townhouse, apartment complex, motor home or mobile home. They are the same as a traditional neighborhood but with age restrictions— usually 55 and older. And they provide amenities like clubhouses, gyms, yard maintenance, housekeeping and security. Most communities also typically offer transportation, laundry service, group meals, and social and cultural activities. Before we look at what kind of community is right for you, let’s look at some senior statistics. Seniors by the Numbers In a 2010 report by The
Federal Interagency Forum on Aging-Related Statistics called “Older Americans 2010: Key Indicators of Well-Being,” we found the following statistics that may interest you: -People who reach age 65 will live another 18.5 years versus just 4 years longer in 1960. -From 2006 to 2008, 74.5% of those 65 and older reported being in good to excellent health. -About 22% of seniors reported regular physical activity. -Seniors 65 to 74 report doing 7 hours of daily leisure activities; watching TV account for 4 hours. -The housing burden cost for seniors increased from 30% to 37% between 1985 and 2007. -Forty percent of seniors in 2007 had one or more of the following housing issues: “housing cost burden, physically inadequate housing, and/or crowded housing.”
What’s Right for Me? This is a big question for many seniors and worth careful consideration. The answer may take weeks, months and even years of thought. To start, take an inventory of your life now that you’re retired. Here are some basic questions to ask: Are you happy in your home and neighborhood? Do you dread doing yard work in the summer heat? Are the four bedrooms too much to clean? Do you live close enough to family? Do your friends still live near you? Would you rather live close to the water, mountains, in the country or in a city? Financially, are you secure in your present home? Or do you need to downsize? Are property taxes too much? Would you rather live with other active seniors? Or do you enjoy living in a mixedage neighborhood? Physical Activities You’re healthy and don’t
want to sit around and watch TV. Now what? For starters, in order to stay healthy, you should make regular exercise part of your day. You’ll have more energy; your mood will improve; and daily activities will become easier. Plus, exercise benefits people with arthritis, heart disease, diabetes or high blood pressure. Consult a doctor before starting any new activity. Here are some options: -Walking, jogging -Swimming, aqua aerobics -Cycling -Yoga, Pilates -Strength training -Stretching -Cross country skiing -Tai Chi -Line dancing, square dancing, ballroom dancing -Golf Other Activities To help balance your physical activities, here are some
leisure activity suggestions: -Become a volunteer. What are your interests? People? Animals? Art? History? The environment? For every interest there is an organization that needs your help. -Join a book reader’s group. This is a great way to meet new people, socialize, and keep your mind engaged. -Put that wisdom to good use: Mentor a child. These programs are often run through libraries, churches and organizations like Big Brothers, Big Sisters. -Work in a community (coop) garden. You’ll get your hands into the soil. Meet new people. And get to eat the fruits (and veggies) of your labor. -Get involved in civic activities like voter registration, campaigning, etc. -Take enrichment classes at your local college. Learn to paint, photograph, write, program computers—there are subjects for every interest.

The Carriage Association of America (CAA) was founded in 1960 and is the oldest and largest international organization devoted to the preservation and restoration of horse-drawn carriages and sleighs. Much of the nostalgic horsepower atmosphere will get its influence from requisites of the national Carriage Association of America. Thousands of members— and enthralled observers— savor the wonders of the antique vehicles, and delight in the pleasure of driving them. Collectors, many from Chautauqua County, have participated in numerous events throughout the country. CAA members advance the beauty and charm of a lifestyle that has all but gone from this modern world.
Foremost among the day’s activities will be the “Currier & Ives” exhibition. Drivers, and sleigh riders will dress in period costumes, says Ann Lynch, the event chairwoman. Contestants will be judged on overall impression (the ambiance and attire) of the carriage/ sleigh presentation. The purpose of such a happening is to “preserve and celebrate the carriage-driving style of bygone days,” says Bill Young, member of Chautauqua County Equine Trial Systems, and judge for the event’s rally competitions. Horse-drawn carriage competitions encompass horsemanship, driving, the care and preservation of carriage and harness—and the intangible qualities of good sportsmanship. “Manners and attitude,” are the terms Bill Young uses to describe horse-to-driver behavior. The rally will focus on traditional driving which includes three phases: turnout inspection, a country drive, and pleasure riving. Other competition divisions will be traditional driving, an obstacle course, and—a talent perhaps many young school children could attempt—“standing quietly in a line-up.” Janice Shoup-Owner

Event Judge Bill Young will observe how contestants— horse and driver—portray “canter and lope,” as he described the riding motion. And, “the way of going,” indicating the subjective gait of travel. Young will also watch for historical reenactment: the use of appropriate traditional leather harness,

The Tea Cup Sleigh is a “sweet little sled with two seats,” she explained. “It looks just like it sounds.” Then, recounting last year’s enthusiasm, “it’s just a really special day.” Ann Lynch, a horse owner and rider and member of the Chautauqua County Trail Riders, says the event is as much for the horses as it is for their owners. “A good day for all to get out,” she said. “Even the V.S.E’s”, she declared, using horse owner language for very small equine. “Because miniature horses don’t like to be called ponies,” she clarified, embodying equestrian personification. The Currier & Ives Sleigh Rally is sponsored by Nationwide Insurance. Proceeds from contestant entrance fees will support the Chautauqua Equestrian Trial System. Registration begins at 9:30 a.m. and events are scheduled until 4:30 p.m. “Spectators may enjoy the day with free admission and free parking,” she said.

Beekeeping Basics at Audubon Contributed Article Audubon Center and Sanctuary
If you’ve ever been fascinated by bees and the prospect of being a beekeeper, the Audubon Center and Sanctuary has something for you. On Saturday morning, Jan. 19, you can learn the basics of beekeeping – just in time to order your bees for the spring. Bees need to be ordered in Jan., so this is the time to learn what you will need to start. In the spring, Audubon will offer a beginning beekeeping series to fill in the details The Beekeeping Basics Workshop will be held from 10 a.m. to noon in Audubon’s multipurpose room. Taught by beekeeper Dennis Lamonica, this class
will explain the equipment you need to begin a beekeeping operation. It will also present an overview of honeybees and the care they need. The program will lead into a beekeeping series this spring that will walk beekeepers through their first year of beekeeping. Dennis Lamonica and his wife, Laura, have been beekeeping for several years. They, and their hives, have braved bears, weather and disease. They have a wealth of experience and knowledge to share. Cost of the workshop is $12; $10 for Friends of the Nature Center. With a limited class size, reservations are required by Wednesday, Jan. 16, by calling (716) 5692345, emailing info@ jamestownaudubon.org, or clicking on the link at http://jamestownaudubon.

Located at 1600 Riverside Road, one-quarter mile east of Route 62 between Jamestown and Warren, the Audubon Center and Sanctuary has over five miles of beautifully maintained trails on a 600-acre wetland preserve. Its threestory building contains a nature store and a collection of live fish, reptiles, and amphibians. One of the most visited exhibits is Liberty, a non-releasable bald eagle.

Health Department Reminds of Proper Food Handling to Prevent Disease Contributed Article Chautauqua County Department of Health
As is typical this time of year, outbreaks of Noroviruses are being seen throughout the county. “Many people commonly refer to having the “stomach flu” when in fact what they have is a Norovirus – totally unrelated to Influenza,” says Christine Schuyler, County Public Health Director. Prevention of this disease is based on providing safe food and water. Correct handling
of cold foods, frequent handwashing, and workers staying home when sick can substantially reduce food-borne transmission of Noroviruses. According to the CDC, Norovirus is the most common cause of acute gastroenteritis in the United States. Common settings for outbreaks include restaurants and catered meals, nursing homes, schools and vacation settings or cruise ships. Most food-borne outbreaks of norovirus illness are likely to arise though direct contamination of food by a
food handler immediately before its consumption. Outbreaks have frequently been associated with the consumption of cold foods, including various salads, sandwiches, and bakery products. Noroviruses are highly contagious. They are transmitted primarily through the fecal-oral route, either by consumption of fecally contaminated food or water or by direct person-to-person spread. The incubation period for norovirusassociated gastroenteritis in humans is usually between
24 and 48 hours, but cases can occur within 12 hours of exposure. Norovirus infection usually presents as acute-onset vomiting, watery non-bloody diarrhea with abdominal cramps, and nausea. Lowgrade fever also occasionally occurs, and vomiting is more common in children. Dehydration is the most common complication, especially among the young and elderly, and may require medical attention. Symptoms usually last 24 to 60 hours and recovery is usually complete.
During outbreaks of norovirus gastroenteritis, several modes of transmission have been documented; for example, initial food-borne transmission in a restaurant, followed by secondary person-to-person transmission to household contacts. Viral shedding usually begins with onset of symptoms and may continue for two weeks after recovery. No specific therapy exists for viral gastroenteritis. Symptomatic therapy consists of replacing fluid losses and correcting electrolyte
disturbances through oral and intravenous fluid administration. “Take care of yourself, your loved ones, and your customers by correctly handling cold foods, washing hands frequently, wearing gloves where indicated, and staying home from work when sick. Prevention of food-borne norovirus disease is based on the provision of safe food and water,” said Schuyler. For more information, contact the Chautauqua County Department of Health at 1-866-604-6789.

the labyrinth café and press co. not have heard about the Labyrinth Café a.k.a. “the Lab.” Located in the heart of downtown on quaint Fourth Street across the street from the YMCA, the Café has been a staple in the Jamestown community for close to five and a half years. Foodies, artists, musicians and vegetarians will all find something to savor in this modest but enlightened venue. It’s a little hard to spot from the street, as it is cozily tucked beneath an old brick building. However, what the café lacks in size it makes up for in character and style, and there is a truly unique element about the place. From the vintage décor, the upside down lamp hanging in a corner

In addition to atmosphere, the Labyrinth also offers some of the best breakfast and lunch food that the county has to offer, with lots of variety as well. Everything on their menu is 100% vegetarian, from organic bake goods such as massive brownies and oatmeal cookies, to heartwarming soups, to tasty sandwiches such as the “hummus mozz” stack and the delicious sweet and spicy tofu chicken sandwich. My personal favorites are the popular breakfast burrito and the southwest wrap, both offering a little heat, with fi lling ingredients such as

rice, beans, fresh salsa, and eggs. While “the Lab” offers a great selection of breakfast and lunch options, the owners have applied for a liquor license for a small bar located on the second floor directly above the café. When it’s fi nished it will be called Brasil, apparently the name comes from a 1980s cult fi lm, and that’s also where the name came for the café. I spoke briefly with Alex Sheer, a cook at the Lab, and asked him when the bar will be open to the public. “It is unknown at the moment but for sure in the next couple months.” He also said that patrons could expect “a “laid back atmosphere with good music and conversation, and just a chill all -around vibe.”
Some of the all- time favorite dishes according to Alex are “breakfast burritos, southwest wraps, the surrealist sausage sandwich and the mozzarella stack.” This just goes to show that great minds think alike. It is also worth mentioning that the Lab holds an open mic night for aspiring comedians every first and third Thursday of the month and a “magic microphone- DIY open mike” night every Wednesday. There are also shows held every couple weeks, mostly
folk and acoustic acts, as well as some indie and experimental groups that come through ever once and awhile. Upcoming shows include Optic Yellow Felt who are all the way from Brazil on March 26. Additional information on their menu, future shows, and specials can be found on their website, www.labpressco.com more information about the opening of the bar will be announced soon.

Junior Achievement, continued from pg. 1 in the school world, and just the economy in general. Junior Achievement has in turn evolved to an in-school program now instead of an after school club. So, originally it was students elected to be part of the club, and there were a lot of leadership positions. Now we are an in-class program where we actually have teachers and principals and administrators request us to have our program during the school day since there are so many after school activities such as sports that students are involved with.” Januszkiewicz says that a lot of business professionals as a result use their lunch break to teach a program, or stop in on their way to work or leave work a little bit early to volunteer. Other members of the community take that time to get involved and spend around 40 minutes in the classroom. “Volunteers get to pick a class they are comfortable teaching,” said Janusz-
kiewicz. “So, we have a list of classes that need volunteers. Teachers that have requested to have a volunteer come into the classroom. So, volunteers can look at that list; they can see if there is a grade level they are comfortable teaching. ...They can also pick a school off the list.” Junior Achievement offers training in their office in downtown Buffalo on a bi weekly basis, or other times if needed. Training lasts an hour and a half and provides all the tools volunteers will need to be comfortable going into the classroom and teaching a program. Junior Achievement provides teaching kits, explains roles and responsibilities, and shows the volunteers all the materials they will be receiving. “So, when they actually come into the office, they get a kit full of their word for word lesson plans that we look at,” said Januszkiewicz. “We practice reading over your lesson and getting comfortable with
it. I show them the materials that also go with their lesson.” Junior Achievement also holds several events as well. Their biggest fundraiser, the Bowl-A-Thon will be taking place on March 9. Each year teams of five raise funds for the Junior Achievement programs; last year over $168,000 was raised due to the joint efforts of 1,700 bowlers and 50 companies. “We have a few other events too for students,” said Januszkiewicz. “The Stock Market Challenge, where high school students compete against each other once a year in November, simulates the stock market where they buy and sell stocks. We also have a Business Plan Challenge where students present business plans to a panel of judges.” The Junior Achievement of Western New York is located on 275 Oak Street in Suite 222 in Buffalo.

The area’s newest live regional independent music radio show will feature popular Soul/Funk artists SMACKDAB and energetic singer/songwriter/ rockabilly queen Cindy (Haight) Love on Tuesday Jan. 15. Live from Trinity Guitars’ “Back Room,” In Our Back Yard-LIVE! builds upon the tradition of the weekly KISS-FM 106.9 radio show, “In Our Back Yard” which has been airing the best in homemade music every Sunday night. Jamestown’s Trinity Guitars has teamed up with the radio station and Martin Guitars to present monthly live music radio broadcasts unplugged and hosted by Chautauqua County’s Bill Ward. The shows will presented on select Tuesdays at 7 p.m. from November to May at Trinity Guitars, 800 West Third Street in Jamestown. Each show will feature the live performances of two independent artists from the Northeastern US in front of a studio audience. It will then be aired the following Sunday as that week’s IOBY show. The events are free to the public, but tickets for each event must be secured through Trinity Guitars before admission. Rapidly gaining popularity, IOBY Live has caught the attention of legendary guitar company Martin
Guitars, who has become a supporter of the program through Trinity Guitars. Martin and Trinity have provided a new Martin guitar to be played by one of the guest artists on each show. At the end of the season, that guitar will be donated to the Infinity Performing Arts Program. SMACKDAB enjoy the kind of blazing word-ofmouth reputation most bands dream of. Ostensibly a modern soul/funk group, their live performances open the windows wide on what that means, bringing in sounds from much farther afield. Here’s the 4/4 intensity of a rock band married to the rhythms of old school R&B, soul, blues, and funk, as well as thick dollops of jazz and pop—made for the sole purpose of getting the crowd on thier feet. Conscripted from the remnants of legendary Jamestown bands Zeta Cauliflower, Mysterious Moonshow, and Little Dirty Goat, SMACKDAB will be presenting a rare “unplugged” performance for IOBY Live. Cindy Haight has been performing for east coast audiences for the better part of two decades, establishing herself as one of the most prolific solo acts in the region. One of the first people on the Great Blue Heron festival site when the Heron was in the planning stages, she continues to appear at the festival 20 years later. She has also

every soul on board. After the crash, Whitaker is hailed as a hero; but as more is learned, more questions than answers arise as to who or what was really at fault and what really happened on the plane. Directed by Robert Zemekis, “Flight” also stars John Goodman, Don Cheadle and Melissa Leo. Ann Hornaday, in the Washington Post, calls the fi lm “a refreshingly sophisticated, mature human drama.” Lisa Kennedy, in the Denver Post, calls it “an old-fashioned drama and all the better for it.” Richard Roeper says “Washington gives one of his most nuanced and impressive performances.” Claudia Puig, in USA Today, says “the image of the heroic he-man, so entrenched in Hollywood mythology, takes an intriguing detour with ‘Flight’.” Rated R for drug and alcohol abuse, language, sexuality, nudity and an intense action sequence, “Flight” runs 138 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 members) and $5 (students) the night of each screening. A book of ten movie passes is available for $60 at the door or online at www.fredopera. org. For more information, call the Opera House Box Office at 716-679-1891. The Series continues with “Life of Pi,” the critically acclaimed survival epic from Director Ang Lee, on Jan. 19 & 22; and “Anna Karenina,” starring Keira Knightley and Jude Law, on Jan. 26 & 29. Chautauqua County’s only performing arts center presenting its own programming year-round, the 1891 Fredonia Opera House is a member-supported not-for-profit organization located in Village Hall in downtown Fredonia.

The Big Read to Feature “Call of the Wild” Event Looks to Engage Readers
By Patricia Pihl Managing Editor
Before Discovery Channel’s “Man vs. Wild,” “Dual Survival,” and “Suvivorman,” there was Jack London’s, “Call of the Wild,” an unforgettable adventure written in 1903 about humans and animals struggling for survival in the hostile wilderness of the Yukon. The book was chosen for this year’s Big Read event by SUNY Fredonia in collaboration with the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and the Chautauqua Cattaraugus Library System with the purpose to get communities across the country engaged in reading and discussion of books. As new media competes for the attention of Americans of all ages, the intention
of The Big Read is to use a classic- in this case, a short, action and adventure packed novelette to engage a new generation of readers, and to promote “intergenerational conversations” about literature. Randy Gadikian, director of Reed Library at Fredonia, chose “Call of the Wild” among a list of classics suggested by the NEA. According to Gadikian, the purpose of the “Big Read” is to “bring reading back to the center of culture in America.” “Back in 2005, a (NEA) study was done on reading - not casual reading, but deep reading for understanding and gaining knowledge - which was found to be lacking as other media are prevalent.” The result, Gadikian says, because of “more opportu-
nities for people to use their leisure time in different ways,” including television, Xbox, social media, or even ebay. Still, he feels that there is an appropriate niche. “As a librarian, I know that people get their information from different sources; we like to see people read, talk about what they are reading. Reading doesn’t necessarily mean they are picking up a printed object now,” noting that last year, the number of books sold in paper was equal to the number of books sold in electronic form. Still, for this event, 10,000 copies of “Call of the Wild” have been printed in tabloid form for the Big Read, which will be distributed to libraries and schools. In all, there are 14 separate events connected to the event, including
participation by 17 area schools, a writing contest for all ages, and a Fredonia Opera House lecture entitled “Rediscovering Jack London,” intended to look deeper into the talents of the author. According to keynote speaker James Haley, London was “a sports journalist, an adventurer, a travel writer, a war correspondent, a wildly inventive novelist who was also a passionate crusader for social injustice.” Fredonia faculty and students are also intricately involved in the “Big Read,” including leading (or for students) learning to lead book discussions and creating promotional materials for the event. The book has also been made into a stage play by Ted Sharon, an associate professor of Theatre and Dance at SUNY
Fredonia. The NEA supports The Big Read in schools by providing materials such as student and teachers’ guides and lesson plans, available both in print and on line. There are also Spanish language editions of the works. Gadikian sees “Call of the Wild” as an especially good fit for a multitude of readers and for our locale. Calling it “an engaging read,” he adds, “It’s a story about a dog,” adding “people love dogs; it’s outdoorsy and rough and tumbled, and it’s staged in winter, which fits our climate in WNY. It’s a relatively quick read- not like “War and Peace” - so it works out well for reluctant readers who may not have a lot of time.” The Big Read kicks off on Feb. 1, with “lead the pack
to the Big Read,” which invites the public to come to Prendergast Library to pick up a copy of the book and get into character by dressing as a miner, saloon girl or donning other western wear. A dog sled, sled dogs, and shelter dogs will be on hand to spotlight the activities and plight of dogs. Chili, root beer and other authentic food will be served. Gadikian says the event will give those who have read, “Call of the Wild” years ago the opportunity to “discover the magic of the book again.” For more information on the Big Read, and a complete list associated events and book discussions go to http://www.fredonia.edu/ bigread.

Guinea Pigs or Medical Heroes?
Medical Research Facility Takes Aim at Media ‘Misinformation’ By Patricia Pihl Managing Editor
The recent article, “Television’s Assault on Medical Research*,” outlined what is considered by some as the barrage of negative references in the media to the ultimately life-saving research known as “clinical trials, in which participants are many times referred to as “guinea pigs.” With a reality show willing to pay actors ‘big money’ to participate in clinic trials and an ad campaign for laptops which featured a so-called “professional medical tester” posing as a “test monkey,” much of the information about the medical testing of new drugs and the effects to human volunteers has been negative, if not outright false. Whatever the public may think of large pharmaceutical companies, or those who volunteer for clinical studies, the process of bringing a drug to market is both lengthy and rigorous, taking as long as twenty years, say those intricately involved in the process. Ensuring safety for clinical trial participants is also highly regulated through protocols overseen by the FDA and The International Conference on Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH), both of which are put in place to protect human rights and the health of patients,
The staff at Great Lakes Medical Research
overseeing all stages of a person’s involvement in clinical trials. Clinical Research Coordinator Maria Resnick works with Great Lakes Medical Research in Westfield, the only facility to strictly conduct clinical trials in Chautauqua County. Resnick is familiar with the many safeguards in place and is the first to dismiss what she believes to be the “guinea pig” myth associated with clinical trials. “When we interview a participant for a study, 80% of the people will start the conversation by saying, ‘so I’m going to be a guinea pig?’ In response, she says, you are a volunteer; guinea pigs are not volunteers.” Resnick says that each patient considering involve-
ment in a clinical trial will first review and sign an informed consent guide ensuring that they know and accept the responsibility attached with being involved in the trial, and that at any point they have the opportunity to opt out. “We are very confident in telling our participants that they will not be treated as “guinea pigs” because we are not allowed to - there are laws protecting them. In addition, according to Resnick, people actually benefit from being in a trial, receiving what she calls “extra TLC.” “They see us more frequently than their own doctor.” We spend anywhere from an hour, sometimes two hours with the patient and answer their
questions. Even those receiving a placebo are given that opportunity. Resnick adds, “that is a favorite part of my job, patient education. “ “Patients might ask, ‘why is this happening to me’? In three minutes, I explain something they may not have understood about their disease.” In addition, she says, “ in a small rural clinic in WNY, we can provide cutting edge medical care to people, some of whom do not have health insurance or don’t go to their doctors frequently. It’s not something we try to sell because there is no guarantee- a clinical trial is merely data collection.” Pomfret resident Karl Davis has been involved
in clinical studies at Great Lakes for approximately ten years in various diabetes research trials including Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes (ACCORD), Thiazolidinedione Intervention With Vitamin D Evaluation (TIDE) and CANagliflozin Treatment And Trial Analysis, (CANTATA). Davis says that he visited the clinic biweekly or monthly and had his blood pressure and blood sugar levels monitored by staff members. The research team also interviewed him at each
visit. “I received excellent patient care in each and every study from the entire (research) staff….they were friendly, positive, reassuring and supportive.” He adds, “They made every effort to ensure my comfort and well being in every instance. There were frequent telephone interviews, email contacts and periodic in-office doctor visits. They still follow-up with me.” Davis was compensated for expenses associated with the study. He says that all supplies and medications were provided at no cost and most in-office visits were mileage reimbursed. Most importantly, he says that being involved in
the ACCORD study was beneficial, helping him understand Type II diabetes and provided a pathway to keep the disease in check as much as possible. When asked about his reason for participating, Davis replies, “my motive was to help in diabetes research and hopefully help myself in the process.” He adds, “It became abundantly clear that these studies would benefit my condition and increase my information (about diabetes). Having a research facility of this caliber and quality is an amazing asset to our area. Without a doubt, I would participate again.” Resnick refers to participants as medical heroes. “They realize they are part of something bigger than themselves. If not for their involvement, that new drug that might save your husband, or your child might never have been developed.” Great Lakes Medical Research, LLC, is owned and governed by its parent company, Westfield Family Physicians, PC. Currently, there are 14 on-going trials with 300 participants.

Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
Greetings loyal Chautauqua Star readers. I am pleased beyond words to take over the reigns as sports editor here at the Star. Before I become too firmly embedded in my ways, let me make one thing clear: I am here to serve you. Of course I have my allegiances, but I want to write about what you, the readers, want to see. That said, here are some of the things you will almost certainly get a healthy dose of for the foreseeable future: the NFL, MLB, NBA, cycling, golfing, running and of course, local high school sports. Let’s get to know each other a little better shall we? I was born on a warm summer evening…I guess you don’t need that much information. I am, however, a Dunkirk native and played my high school sports as a Marauder. It’s safe to say I know the North County. I then earned my bachelor’s degree in Sport Management from Fredonia State. Upon graduation I worked for the Jamestown Jammers for a few years doing everything from booking players’ hotel rooms to hanging outfield fence signs. I lived and worked in the Jamestown area, so yes, I also know the South County. For the past two years I’ve been a sports reporter covering mainly high school sports. There are certainly sports that I know better than others, but again, I want the readers to dictate what I put in the sports section. If you don’t think I’m putting in enough high school bowling results, let me know. Now that we’ve gotten introductions out of the way, let’s talk sports. This was a great week for both local and national sports. We had the first round of the NFL playoffs, the return of the NHL, the BCS championship game — which admittedly was pretty ugly — the Bills hired their staff, the NBA is heating up and the high school playoff pictures are rapidly becoming clearer. All of those topics could have, and deserve, their own commentary so please accept my take on the Bills’ coaching changes. Ralph Wilson absolutely did the right thing by turning control over to Russ Brandon. Sure Brandon has been with the team for over a decade while the team experienced zero success, but no one likes to have the owner peering over their shoulder while they work. Brandon then made the absolute right call on new head coach Doug Marrone. Marrone comes in with some NFL experience, connections to the college football world and a gold star for turning around the Syracuse program that was a joke for so long. If he can do it there, why not in Buffalo? A lot of fans were clamoring for a head coach with prior experience. Really? You want someone like Ken Whisenhunt, whose team in Arizona quit on him so bad I thought he was going to be fired mid-game? No thanks. Take the guy with fresh ideas who isn’t afraid to be aggressive. coNtiNUED oN pG 3

Jamestown Jammers announce 2013 coaching staff Fredonia’s Julius Woma is part of a Hillbillies wrestling team that has held the No. 1 rank for three straight weeks in the small school division. (File Photo)
By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
For the third consecutive week, no team was able to wrestle the No. 1 ranking among small schools in Western New York away from the Fredonia Hillbillies. Fredonia did nothing to warrant a drop in the ranks as its only match of the week was a resounding 63-15 win over CCAA Division 1 foe Gowanda. Falconer, who held the top spot coming into the season, earned the No. 3 spot for the third consecutive week while Westfield/Ripley/Chautauqua Lake
continued to hold down the No. 4 slot. Cattaraugus-Little Valley/ Pine Valley remained in the top 10 at No. 9. Among the large schools, Jamestown was ranked No. 8 for a second consecutive week. Many local athletes cracked the individual rankings, which is a combination of both large and small schools. Fredonia’s Zach Buckley and Catt.-Little Valley/Pine Valley’s Matt Booth earned the area’s two top rankings with Buckley wrestling his way to No. 1 at 170 pounds and Booth earning the honors at 195. Earning No. 2 ranks were another quartet of Hillbillies — Pat
McCarthy at 113, Dakota Gardner at 126, Jude Gardner at 145 and Chris Saden at 220. Frewsburg’s Austin Lynn also was No. 2 at 182 pounds. Southwestern’s Ryan Hetrick was No. 3 at 99 pounds for the second week in a row while Falconer’s Brandon Muntz cracked the top three at 126 pounds. Athletes earning honorable mention are as followed: Tito Colom, Dunkirk, 106 pounds; Tyler Cassidy, Fredonia, 132; Kyle Ross, Falconer, 138; Brian Westerdahl, Southwestern, 138; Nick Zentz, WRCL, 152; Tage Reuther, Cassadaga Valley, 160; Eban Torres, Cassadaga Valley, 170; Nick Nocek, Fredonia, 182.

Barely taking time to celebrate their latest national championship, Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide are ready to get back to work. That's how they make it look so easy. In what must be an increasingly frustrating scene for the rest of college football, another season ended with Saban and his players frolicking in the middle of a confetti-strewn field. Eddie Lacy ran all over Notre Dame, AJ McCarron turned in another dazzling performance through the air, and the Tide defense shut down the Fighting Irish until it was no longer in doubt. The result was a 42-14 blowout in the BCS title game Monday night, not only making Alabama a back-to-back champion, but a full-fledged dynasty with three crowns in four years. This one was especially satisfying to Saban. "People talk about how the most difficult thing is to win your first championship," he said. "Really, the most difficult one to win is the next one, because there's always a feeling of entitlement." Rest assured, that feeling won't last long in Tuscaloosa. While Saban insisted he was "happy as hell" and "has never been prouder of a group of young men," it was hard to tell. He was already talking about reporting to the office Wednesday morning and getting started on next season. "One of these days, when I'm sitting on the side of the hill watching the stream go by, I'll probably figure it out even more," Saban said. "But what about next year's team? You've got to think about that, too." So, in short order, he'll be talking with underclassmen about entering the NFL draft, making sure everyone goes back to class on schedule, and getting started on that next depth chart. "The Process," as he calls it, never stops. "We're going to enjoy it for 24 hours or so," Saban said. No. 2 Alabama quieted the top-ranked Irish on the very first drive - so much for waking up the echoes - and could've started the celebration at halftime, heading to the locker room with a commanding 28-0 lead. The Tide (13-1) pushed it out to 35-0 midway through the third quarter on the third of McCarron's four touchdown passes, a 34-yarder to Amari Cooper with a defender nowhere in sight. At that point, Alabama was on a 69-0 blitz in national title games, having scored the last 13 points in its 2010 triumph over Texas and blanked LSU 21-0 for last year's BCS crown.

Edward Scroxton 38:47 - 20 of 28 for 264 yards He completed his first - he was denied a second season as the starter by straight offensive MVP going 21 of 36 for 270 award in the title game.
That went to Lacy, who finished with 140 yards rushing on 20 carries and scored two TDs. Not a bad finish for the junior, who surely helped his status in the NFL draft should he decide to turn pro. Lacy also was MVP of the Southeastern Conference championship game, rushing for a career-best 181 yards in the thrilling victory over Georgia that gave Alabama a chance to repeat as champion. The Tide will have some big holes to fill, no matter who decides to leave school early, with offensive tackle D.J. Fluker and cornerback Dee Milliner also pondering their draft prospects. There's not a lot of seniors on the roster, but All-America linemen Barrett Jones and Chance Warmack and safety Robert Lester are among those who definitely won't be back. But Alabama had some huge holes to fill a year ago, too, with five players drafted in the first 35 picks. That worked out just fine. The Crimson Tide wrapped up its ninth Associated Press national title, breaking a tie with Notre Dame for the most by any school and gaining a measure of redemption for a bitter loss to the Irish almost four decades ago: the epic 1973 Sugar Bowl in which Ara Parseghian's team edged Bear Bryant's powerhouse 24-23. "The process is ongoing," said Saban, tightlipped as ever and showing little emotion after the fourth BCS national title of his coaching career. "We have a 24-hour rule around here. We enjoy everything for 24 hours." Notre Dame went from unranked in the preseason to the top spot in the rankings by the end of the regular season, winning two games in overtime and three other times by seven
yards, with a touchdown and an interception. But the young quarterback got no help from the running game, which was held to 32 yards - 170 below its season average. "We've got to get physically stronger, continue close the gap there," said Brian Kelly, the Irish's thirdyear coach. "Just overall, we need to see what it looks like. Our guys clearly know what it looks like now - a championship football team. That's back-to-back national champions. That's what it looks like. That's what you measure yourself against there. It's pretty clear across the board what we have to do." Kelly vowed this was only beginning, insisting the bar has been raised in South Bend no matter what the outcome. "We made incredible strides to get to this point," he said. "Now it's pretty clear what we've got to do to get over the top." Alabama is already there but still longing for more, not content even after the second-biggest rout of the BCS era that began in 1999. The only title game that was more of a blowout was USC's 55-19 victory over Oklahoma in the 2005 Orange Bowl, a title that was later vacated because of NCAA violations. You could almost hear television sets around the country flipping to other channels as Alabama poured it on, a hugely anticipated matchup between two of the nation's most storied programs reduced to a laugher when the Tide scored on its first three possessions. "We're going for it next year again," said offensive tackle Cyrus Kouandijo, only a sophomore and already the owner of two rings. "And again. And again. And again. I love to win. That's why I came here."

potential job offers. As a result, Marrone on Monday was short on answers when it came to his vision regarding the Bills. He said he'd have to begin looking at fi lm before determining the status of starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, who's future in Buffalo is in question. Nix has already said he intends to improve the position in the draft and potentially in free agency. Fitzpatrick is also due a $3 million bonus in March from the six-year, $59 million contract extension he signed in October 2011. It was too early to ask Marrone about who he might hire as assistants. He would only say he's looking for coaches with NFL experience to fi ll his two coordinators' jobs. Same thing about how Marrone intends to improve a high-priced but underachieving defense that was one of the NFL's worst during Gailey's three seasons. ''I'm excited to get back to work soon,'' Marrone said. ''It's a lot of responsibility. I feel I'm the best person for this job.''

AP Sports Writer
The deal was reached Sunday, the 113th day of the lockout, and seemingly saved a season that was delayed for three months and cut nearly in half. It took a marathon fi nal bargaining session in a New York hotel for the agreement to fi nally be completed at about 5 a.m. The lockout led to the cancellation of at least 480 games, depending on the length of the upcoming season. That brings the total of lost regular-season games to a minimum of 2,178 during three lockouts under Commissioner Gary Bettman. The damage is signifi cant. Perhaps $1 billion in revenue could be lost this season, given about 40 percent of the regularseason schedule won't be played. Players also will lose a large part of their salaries, not to mention time from their careers. Hockey's fi rst labor dispute was an 11-day strike in 1992 that led to the postponement of 30 games. Bettman became
the commissioner in February 1993. He presided over a 103-day lockout in 1994-95 that ended with a deal on Jan. 11, then a 301-day lockout in 2004-05 that made the NHL the only major North American professional sports league to lose an entire season. The NHL obtained a salary cap in the agreement that followed that dispute and now wanted more gains. The NHL's revenue of $3.3 billion last season lagged well behind the NFL ($9 billion), Major League Baseball ($7.5 billion) and the NBA ($5 billion), and the deal will lower the hockey players' percentage from 57 to 50 - owners originally had proposed 46 percent. This was the third lockout among the major U.S. sports in a period of just more than a year. A fourmonth NFL lockout ended in July 2011 with the loss of only one exhibition game, and an NBA lockout caused each team's schedule to be cut from 82 games to 66 last season.
NHL Says 48-Game regular Season is ‘Most Likely’ By Larry Lage AP Sports Writer
The NHL appears headed toward a 48-game season for the second time in two decades. ''I think 48 is most likely at this point, unless the players can expedite their ratification process,'' NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly wrote in an email Monday to The Associated Press. The NHL shortened its 82-game slate to 48 games for the 1994-95 season after a 103-day lockout. A 301-day lockout in 200405 made the NHL the fi rst major North American professional sports league to lose an entire season. When the framework of a new collective bargaining agreement was agreed to Sunday morning - after 16 hours of negotiations - there was some talk of having a 50-game season start later this month. The NHL and the players' association are working on a memorandum of understanding, which could be completed soon, then voted on by owners and players. The league has circulated a memo to teams telling them to be ready to play by Jan. 19, the date the shortened season is expected to start. ''As we prepare for the season opener, I want to apologize to all Blues fans, especially our season ticket holders, suite holders, and sponsors,'' St. Louis Blues owner Tom Stillman said in a statement released by the team. ''We share in your disappointment and frustration about the lockout.'' Los Angeles Kings forward Kevin Westgarth, who was part of the union negotiating team for much of the long work stoppage, expects the NHLPA to conduct a conference call to explain and answer questions about the new CBA before players vote on it online. ''Of course the league will say if the players hurry up, we can play more games, but there's a reality to consider as well,'' Westgarth said in a telephone interview Monday from Raleigh, N.C., where he skated informally with some Carolina Hurricanes. ''But the fi rst step is for the people who are good with words to get on paper what both sides agreed to. ''Then, we have to get guys - who are scattered
all over the world - to understand the agreement before we can start voting.'' Some NHL players - including Washington Capitals star Alex Overchkin - went overseas during the lockout. Ovechkin, who played for his hometown Dynamo Moscow in the Kontinental Hockey League, was welcomed back to Washington by the Capitals, who posted a picture of him on their Twitter account arriving at a local airport. Players - teammates and opponents - who stayed in North America have been getting together for months to skate, conduct on-ice drills and work out on their own to stay in relatively good shape. Penguins star Sidney Crosby and nearly a dozen teammates worked out at a suburban Pittsburgh ice rink Monday. For a change, Crosby and the rest of the NHL players knew games will be played after negotiators for both sides - and an outside mediator - found a way to revive a sport desperate to regain momentum and boost its prominence. The league and the union agreed to the framework of a 10-year labor contract, ending a bitter dispute that wiped out a large part of the hockey season for the third time in less than two decades. On the 113th day of the lockout and fi ve days before the league's deadline for a deal, the bleary-eyed sides held a 6 a.m. Sunday news conference to announce there would be a season after all. The lockout could wipe out perhaps $1 billion in revenue this season because about 40 percent of the regular-season schedule won't be played. The NHL's revenue of $3.3 billion last season lagged well behind the NFL ($9 billion), Major League Baseball ($7.5 billion) and the NBA ($5 billion). The new deal will lower the players' percentage from 57 to 50 after owners originally had proposed the players get 46 percent. This was the third lockout among the major U.S. sports in a period of just over a year. A four-month NFL lockout ended in July 2011 with the loss of only one exhibition game, and an NBA lockout caused each team's schedule to be cut from 82 games to 66 last season.
