Snowmobiling provides Boost to local economy locAl cluBs hoPing WinteR WeAtheR conditions RetuRn

By Daniel Meyer Star Contributing Writer

A study from an upstate SUNY school released earlier this year showed the snowmobile industry generates more than $800 million annually to New York State, a fact that has some local snowmobile clubs and small business owners concerned about the recent stint of mild winter weather conditions. The SUNY Potsdam study provided statistics that illustrated how the snowmobile industry generates approximately $860 million per year for the Empire State. Local snowmobile enthusiasts say there is no doubt that the Chautauqua region features some of New York State’s best destinations for sledding. “What we have are incredible trails that are consistently groomed and maintained,” says Joe Sorrento, president of the Cherry Creek Sno-Goers, one of the more active local snowmobile clubs. “When the weather is right, there is nothing like riding a sled in and around Chautauqua County.” The economic assessment of the thousands of snowmobile riders who visit the region each winter

is that the average New York snowmobiler spends more than $3,000 a year on the activity. In addition to paying for the snowmobile itself, there is also money spent on equipment, mandatory documents (including registration, insurance and club

membership fees) and recreation activities that take place before and after riding, mainly meals at local restaurants and eateries. “When we check in with the owners of those places, they will tell you how much they rely on us stopping there during the win-

ter,” says Sorrento. “For some, it really makes or breaks their year. If we have a lot of snow and the trails are busy, they stay busy and that is more money in their pockets.” continued on pG 2

“let’s talk about the Kids” comPeeR chAutAuQuA Announces 2013 tRAining seRies

By Patricia Pihl Managing Editor

From social media to a variety of cultural influences, youth in our area and across the country face increased pressures and challenges. As the youth culture continues to change, mentoring and connecting with young people in meaningful ways also has brought new challenges. Compeer Chautauqua has taken that challenge head on with a year long Training Series called 2013, “Let’s Talk About the Kids,” intended to educate the community on a variety of topics related to understanding and increasing positive rapport with young people. Starting in February, Compeer For Youth’s Mentor Recruiter Chris Gibson will host talks held the second Tuesday of each month at Fredonia’s Presbyterian Church, with the two-fold purpose of assisting Compeer Youth mentors, and being an educational forum for the community. “We feel that mentoring is already taking place in a lot of informal ways with adults talking to youth and how they engage youth in different things. My idea is to have mentoring brought into all situations,” says Gibson. She adds, “whether someone is going to end up being a mentor for us or not, the youth are going

I read about an interesting idea lately, it went a little like this: a college professor, known for his teaching abilities and students performing well in his class, began a semester with a group of students who were very much pro-Socialism and biggovernment. They felt that it was the duty of the rich to support the poor- after all, what do the wealthy need to be wealthy for? For their first test, he wanted to illustrate something to them. Their test grades were all averaged, and each student received the same grade in the class. It seemed fair to the students who’d spent the night before in bars and clubs- they didn’t study, and ended up with a B. But to those students who gave it their all, forsaking movies and hanging out to study, a B was not acceptable. They complained, but their complaints fell on deaf ears- the small minority of A’s didn’t match up to the C’s and D’s. For the second test, they’d decided to take it easy too. They figured those that were received so much for so little would appreciate the work, and try a little harder. They were wrong. The course average on the second test was a D. The final course average- the entire class failed. What did they learn? Hopefully, something about the foolish mentality of exploiting the rich to give to the lazy. There was a time when the poor were willing to try for what they needed, but it seems that time is gone. I used to work for a rent-to-own company. After a few months, I had to get out of the business that, frankly, robbed those who didn’t know how to handle their fi nances. There was a time that I was out on collections- real ‘repo’ type stuff. The family had not paid their bill in two weeks, and it was time to pick up our merchandise. They only had $40, enough to bring them current on one of two items: their toddler’s bed or their 50” flat screen HDTV. It saddens my heart to say that I had to convince them to keep the bed. I had to help them see that continued on pG 2

snoWmoBiles, continued FRom Pg. 1 commentARy, continued FRom Pg. 1 Sorrento points out that many of the snowmobile enthusiasts who come to Chautauqua County are out-of-towners who visit on weekends. “A lot of people come up from Pennsylvania and they eat and drink and also stay in local hotels and motels and bed-andbreakfasts so they are spending a couple of days a week here,” says Sorrento. “Weather permitting, we are able some years to stay up and running until midMarch, which means more opportunities for them to make sales and increase their profits.” With annual snowfall often exceeding 200 inches and over 450 miles of groomed trails, the five local clubs work together to groom and maintain the trails that travel along former trolley lines, old railroad beds, farm fields, wooded areas and seasonal roads. In addition to the Cherry Creek Sno-Goers, the other local clubs include the Chautauqua Lake Snowmobile Club, Ellery Sno-Cruisers, Lake Effect Trailbreakers and Sunset Drifters. Between all five clubs there are close to 3,400 “family member-

ships” that represent close to 6,000 people and over 5,300 snowmobiles. While finding places to eat, drink and sleep are essential for all snowmobilers, equally important is fi nding places to purchase new and used sleds as well as purchase gasoline and get maintenance and repair work done on each vehicle. Various outlets have a wide variety of equipment, parts and supplies available for rent or purchase for longtime sledders as well as first-time snowmobilers. “Snowmobiling is a lot of fun,” says Joe Dziduch, a member of the Cherry Creek Sno-Goers. “You have so many different trails to navigate and explore and you meet some really incredible people, many of whom end up becoming close friends.” For more information about the snowmobile industry and how it has a positive impact on the local economy, including how to obtain a countywide snowmobile trail map, visit www.sledchautauqua. com to learn more about why Chautauqua County is often called “New York’s Snowbelt Region.”

a couch was not adequate for a child to sleep on, even if he could watch a 50” TV in the meantime. This is where the money of the wealthy is going. The poor don’t need moneythey need education. They need love and time and care. And until that love and care comes from people, not the government, they will not learn to appreciate it.

It’s a dark, dark road that this great nation is on. There is still time to turn it around- but it will require some to take an uncomfortable stand. Handouts, throughout history, have never worked. Until the majority of society once again values the importance of working for a reward, the future of this country is at stake.

Mentoring is huge, but a worthwhile investment.” The Changing Face of Volunteerism

Gibson says that volunteerism has changed in the last ten to twenty years, where people today are more willing to make short-term commitments. “If people can come in with a specific skill set and teach something to our kids, we are open to that.” Ball admits it is difficult to convince some people, especially those with their own difficulties, to volunteer. “People who are (informally) engaged with youth will get that extra push.” Individuals can benefit from being involved in the program without a big time commitment. It’s more of an more emotional investment,” says the Compeer director. In celebration of National Mentoring Month, Compeer will also host a program entitled, “The Power of Friendship,” on Thurs-

Pets of the Week

This week we are featuring “Jake” and “Sheila”. Jake is a three-year-old basset/husky mix. He has wonderful blue eyes and the “low rider” body of a basset. He loves to go for walks and be with people. He gets along with other dogs and he has all his vaccines, is neutered and micro-chipped. Jake would be a great new friend. Sheila is an eleven-year-old long-haired Siamese. She has a beautiful coat and is declawed on all 4 paws. She needs a quiet home and would make a great senior for senior adoption. She is spayed, feline leukemia and feline aids negative, has her vaccines and is micro-chipped. If you think you either of these pets sound like the one for you, please stop in at the Strunk Road Adoption Center. They are ready to move into a forever home of their own.

This important project, which began in 2008, was planned and executed by Vince Martonis, Town of Hanover Historian. Martonis was able to secure private donations to

cover about half of the cost of the five-year project. All of the markers are located in the Town of Hanover. The first marker honored George F.

RELIGION SECTION Keeping the Faith

Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church Fredonia www.fcfredonia.org

Dear Pastor, does God have a plan for my life? If so, how can I find it? (con’t) Last week we looked at the fact that God has a unique plan for each one of our lives. We also saw that God promises that this plan is a good and beneficial plan! When we understand this and accept His plan for our life, the outlook for our future will be great. Today I want to start looking at how we can know what God’s perfect will is for our lives. First of all, we must understand that while God has a plan for

every person, we must gain access to that plan and His guidance by becoming a Christian and acknowledging Him as our Savior and Lord. Like getting the key to a locked room, becoming a Christian enables us to gain admittance to all that the room holds. Once we gain access, we will come to know that God provides what I call a “general” plan or path for all His children to walk as well as a “unique” path that is specific to each individual. For instance, the scriptures give us characteristics of a godly spouse, but they don’t tell us who, specifi-

cally, who we should marry. This week we are going to look at the general plan because we must learn to walk on this path before we can ever walk out our unique path. The great news is that the general path or plan for our life is plainly written out in the Bible. Like an instruction manual, any Christian can read the Bible and find out what God’s plan is for all of us. In the New Testament (God’s Word to Christians) we will find directions for how we should behave towards others, how to make decisions to ensure a godly life, and

what God promises us in the areas of health, prosperity, and spiritual maturity. As with any other instruction manual, however, we must read and study God’s Word in order to know what God desires for our life. The more we try to understand what is written in the Bible and do the best we can to put this general plan into action for our lives, the more we become open to having God speak to us about the specific will for our individual lives. Next week…the unique plan for our life.

The Weekly Word

Rev. Tim Stahlman Family Church Jamestown thenewfamilychurch.com

The Christian Authority Part 2 Many people believe that Adam and Eve were purposely set up to disobey God and that God’s intentions were for them to fail. That is not true. The scriptures show us what God originally intended. Genesis 1:26, 28 say, “And God said let us make man in our image, after our likeness, and LET THEM HAVE DOMINION over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over ALL THE EARTH, AND OVER EVERY CREEPING THING THAT CREEPETH UPON THE EARTH. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth and SUBDUE IT

and HAVE DOMINION over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.” God’s original intentions for creating mankind were for fellowship and for mankind to have authority on Earth over everything. Notice that this authority was God given. If God gave it, He expected man to use it. Notice the emphasized words, “let them have dominion.” This simply means that God was giving man the authority to rule Earth. We also see all the things man had dominion over; all things. Notice the command God gave mankind; subdue the Earth. The word “subdue” means to take control of. Why would God tell them to take control? God knew Satan was

coming. The Bible says something interesting in Genesis 2:15, “And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden (of Eden) to dress it and to KEEP it.” This is written before Satan came into the garden to tempt Adam and Eve. The word “keep” in the original Hebrew means “to guard.” Why would God tell Adam to guard Eden? God knew Satan would try to steal it and God didn’t want that to happen. What did God do to prevent this from happening? God gave them authority. What did Adam and Eve have authority over? Every living and creeping thing on Earth. What form did Satan take when he came into the garden? A serpent. Are serpents living things and do they move? Yes. Did Adam and

Eve have authority over Satan? Yes. So did they have to obey Satan? No. They should have used their authority and disobeyed Satan and obeyed God. From this we see that even though God had a good plan, man’s decisions influenced the outcome. The same is true today. A person will only have authority over Satan if they are surrendered to God. Christians do have authority over the devil but they must decide to use it. James 4:7 says, “Submit yourself to God…resist the devil and he will flee from you.” Notice the Bible says that it is our job to resist the devil. God has already done everything He is going to do with the devil. And notice who the devil runs from: YOU!

Trash or Treasures?

All Find a Place at the Recycle Center By Peter Hamilton Star Contributing Writer

When it’s warm and sunny, it’s a fun job. When it’s cold and snowy, it’s a fun job. Even in the rain it’s enjoyable. That’s how Bruce Koterass feels about what he does every Saturday regardless of the weather at the Westfield refuse and recycle center. Bruce is site foreman at the Bourne Street recycling center located between Westfield and Barcelona. “This is a great job,” he said brightly as he directed yet another garbage laden vehicle toward the scoop of the waiting frontloader. When the scoop is full—filled with about the volume a mid-sized pickup can haul—Bruce jumps up into the high seat and unloads the waste into a thirty-yard dumpster

container located adjacent to the garbage collection space. A space sometimes occupied with retrieved objects that “donors” pull from their rubbish, or Bruce and his helpers rescue from the trash, and is set aside for reclamation. That Saturday, an elderly man set out a plastic, three story dollhouse - perhaps his granddaughter’s outgrown toy house - next to the side of the dumpster and within minutes, another man came up to it, and while examining its playtime potential, called out to Bruce Koterass, “is this in recycle?” Bruce told him that indeed it was. The man said he operated a childcare center and it would be a nice toy. “What sets down here sometimes doesn’t set down here long until someone else picks it up.” No sooner

A woman with a bin of cans and bottles approached Bruce, “where do these go?” Bruce pointed to the four-panel hopper next to the dumpster, “glass in the middle, tins on the left.” He helped her lift and dump the contents into the appropriate bins. A small boy, accompanied by his mother, dragged a plastic garbage bag to the front-loader scoop. He swung the bag - the bag as large as him - into the pile. “Thank you,” Bruce told the boy, as if the boy were doing a favor.

protect Yourself from the Flu By Mallory Diefenbach Star Contributing Writer

Coughs and sneezes have slowly invaded school and work. People have slowly begun to disappear for a few days, only to come back. Flu season has arrived, and much earlier, and it seems to be quickly shaping up as one of the more severe ones. “High levels of influenzalike-illness are widespread according to the Center for Disease Control’s latest FluView report,” said Christine Schuyler, Chautauqua County Public Health Director. “Reports of influenza-like-illness are nearing what have been peak levels during moderately severe seasons.” “To date in Chautauqua County, the Health Department has received reports of 283 cases of

influenza but we know that cases are reported to local number is very low because health departments.” said only laboratory confirmed Christine Schuyler. “Many

health care providers do Influenza rapid testing in their practices and are

not obligated to report those cases to local or state health departments and from what we’re hearing from local providers, this flu season is proving to be one of the most severe we’ve seen,” added Schuyler. While citizens over the age of six months have been urged to get the flu shot, due to the fact it has been increasingly difficult to get one, there are other measures people may take as a caution against the flu. This includes: -Cough or sneeze into a tissue or the crook of your elbow. Not your hand. Throw out tissues in the garbage afterwards. -Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds often. Use alcoholic based sanitizers if not near a sink. -Keep hands away from eyes, nose and mouth.

-Try to avoid close contact with the sick. -Stay home if sick. The flu season typically peaks around January or February, and can last to May. As a result, for those have not yet been vaccinated, there is some time still. However, it should be done as quickly as possible due to the fact the shot takes two weeks to provide full protection. Even with the flu shot, it can still be possible to contract the flu although it will be much milder then it would be if the shot had not been received. For more information on influenza vaccination, illness and reducing your risk of contracting the flu visit www.cdc.gov or contact the Chautauqua County Department of Health at 1-866-604-6789

the dealership’s success to its outstanding record of service. In fact, of the 600 plus Harley Davidson dealerships, Gowanda ranks in the top two to three percent, according to customer satisfaction surveys. Among the shop’s service staff are two “master technicians” that have completed years of mechanics training through Harley Davidson. The shop also utilizes “Dynojet” diagnostics, which measures (through computer monitoring) air/fuel ratios, exhaust, and horsepower for the purpose of optimum performance.

The event has three purposes, he says. “It’s a learn to ski, learn to ride and cabin fever party all combined.” “We are going to bring this bike down on its jumpstart and put it on the top floor of their brand new $14 million dollar lodge. People are going to be able to ride that have never ridden a motorcycle before, go through the gears, and it stays right in place.” McKeever says the Sportster will be mounted to a portable device where the rear tire will spin in place, for riderss “to get the feel and sensation of what it is like to ride a Harley.” Made in America and Still “Cool” So much about the Harley name and reputation have

stood the test of time. It is after all, an American success story. “It’s the heritage, knowing that it began in America and it continues to stay in America,” says McKeever, noting the manufacturer is based in York, PA. H-D has survived the depression, and while not immune to downturns in the economy, McKeever said unlike some companies, it does not compromise its product to save money. “This is the standard of quality we are going to offer; Harley Davidson continues to enhance and improve their product and is always on top of what the customer is saying.” “Over the past 15 years, H-D has seen more women riders; more women are getting off the back of the seat and on the front of their own.”

Contrary to the old “biker bar” character stereotype, McKeever says the culture of the rider has completely changed, as doctors, nurses, teachers and other professionals and retirees are added to the ranks. All of which begs the next question: Why are Harleys still cool? The answer, says McKeever: “110 years of American-made respect.” Gowanda Harley Davidson is located at 2535 Gowanda Zoar Road in Gowanda and is open Tuesdays through Saturday.

Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame To Induct Walt Thurnau

Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame inductee Walt Thurnau. (Photo Submitted)

Contributed Article CSHOF

The Board of Directors of the Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame is proud to announce that Walt Thurnau will be formally inducted at the CSHOF’s 32nd Annual Banquet, Monday, February 18, at the Lakewood Rod and Gun Club. Walt Thurnau knows a little bit about wrestling and life. Just ask anyone who came in contact with him. For 36 years, he was the coach at Southwestern Central, retiring in 2002, leaving a legacy of success, always helping others to be the best they could be in both the classroom where he taught history and on the mats. Thurnau was born in Chicago, but moved to the Philippines when he was four. He grew to love the game basketball, where his rough-and-tumble style confounded his opponents since offensive fouls were never called. When he got back to the United States, however, that style of play didn't serve him well and he was cut from his high school team. The basketball coach sent him across the hall to the wrestling room and the rest became history. He graduated from Lock Haven State College in 1966 and came to Chautauqua County, landing at Southwestern as an assistant coach where he honed his trade under the guidance of another coaching legend, Clarence "Flash" Olson. Olson left the scene in 1975 and Thurnau took over as the head coach and from that point on, his teams posted a 297-97 record, which ranked him in the top 20 of high school coaches in New York State. The Trojans earned two Section 6 Division 1 championships in 1987-88 and 1994-95, and a Section 6 Class B-2 championship in 1994-95. Thurnau also coached 62 individual champions at the Southern Tier League tournament and hundreds of his wrestlers earned tournament titles. He coached 17 wrestlers to the New York State tournament, including state champions Ed Pawlak in 1999 and Jim Nelson in 2002. Thurnau also served as president of the Southern Tier Wrestling Coaches Association and was named the Southern Tier Coach of the Year in 1998. He also ran the USA Kids Wrestling Program at Southwestern for more than 25 years. coNtiNUED oN pG 5

Bowling For a cause By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

As big as Monday’s bowling match between Silver Creek and Forestville was in the standings — the boys teams are separated by just half a game and the girls are the top two teams in CCAA Division 2 — the action at Lucky Lanes was more about giving back. For the third consecutive year, Forestville proudly hosted its “Strike Out Cancer” event to benefit Carly’s Club at Roswell Park Cancer Institute. “The biggest thing really is getting the kids involved in it,” Forestville bowling coach Todd Langworthy said. “It gets them involved in community service and realize that there’s more to it than just yourselves and your sports. You can use your sports to do some good in the community.” Though the final dollar amount raised was unavailable, if the size of the crowd at Lucky Lanes can be used as any indication, Carly’s Club can be expecting a massive donation. Parents, family and friends came out to support the athletes and the cause. “We preach to the kids that they need to be part of the community they live in,” Langworthy con-

“It’s been a great event,” Langworthy concluded. “I hope we’re able to continue to help people in the community.”

Sabres Fans Showing Their Support In Ticket Sales By John Wawrow AP Sports Writer

Coyote Hunting See B-4

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) -- Hockey's back, and so are droves of diehard Sabres fans, who are showing few signs of holding any postNHL lockout grudge in Buffalo. It's evident in the demand for tickets. The Sabres announced Monday that it took them one day to sell more than 31,000 of the remaining 80,000 tickets they had available for their 24 home games. It was apparent at the team's store, where fans stood in line for up to a half hour to take advantage of the Sabres selling all of their merchandise - from $320 jerseys to toddler pajamas - at half price. ''Surprised? Not really. It's been the buzz in Buffalo,'' said Jason Brosius, who was in line preparing to buy a Nathan Gerbe jersey with a list price of $164.99. ''I missed hockey. Everybody missed it.'' And then there was the trafficjam forming Monday evening in front of the Sabres arena, the First Niagara Center. That's where fans were preparing to attend Sabres practice, which the team opened to the public. By the time the puck dropped, nearly all of the lower bowl of the arena was fi lled with fans.

Dunkirk, Fredonia put aside rivalry in the pool As far as sports rivalries in Chautauqua Country go, it’s hard to get any more heated than the constant clashes between Dunkirk and Fredonia. That’s what makes the current situation between the two schools’ swimming and diving teams so unique. The week before the schools were set to go on winter break, the Fredonia Central School pool developed a leak that sent some 80,000 gallons of water into the school’s basement. The water loss left the pool with a remaining depth of only three feet, clearly not enough for a swim team to practice or hold meets. Luckily for the Hillbillies, Dunkirk was there to step up and offer its facilities to the Fredonia swim team. Both teams have been practicing together now for a couple weeks and the experiment is going splendidly. “My fi rst reaction was sympathy,” fi rst-year Dunkirk swim coach Bryan Westling said. “I can’t imagine losing our pool and all of a sudden we didn’t have a place to practice or continue our season. “Of course there was a little bit

And Then There Were Four

So how bad was this latest NHL lockout? The two sides met, couldn’t agree and parted ways countless times. Every story you read was probably the same. Players were giving up hope and going to play in Europe. Neither side was willing to make concessions. Part of the problem was the horrible job they did negotiating the last collective bargaining agreement in 2005. Another lost season seemed all but certain. Luckily the Toronto Blue Jays were making a big splash in free agency and trades or Canadian sports fans might have lost their minds, eh? But wait. In came a mediator and suddenly there was light at the end of the tunnel. After four grueling months, NHL fans had their hockey back — after another week of voting and scheduling, of course. Why hurry this process along? The damage a lockout can do to a sport can be crushing. Logic might tell you that fans will be too mad to come back and buy tickets, merchandise, etc. Economists might argue that there’s no way the league will ever get its sponsors back, that a company would be nuts to sink money into such a proven risk as the NHL. And some of that is true of course. There are a few stubborn fans out there that think them staying at home is putting a dent in the owners’ wallets. There were fans that thought burning their Calgary Flames jersey would make a profound impact on the NHL’s willingness to concede on the salary cap issue. That’s foolishness of course. While the NHL may be all but irrelevant on a national scale – sorry hockey fans, there’s a reason that ESPN doesn’t waste its time with NHL games or even highlights — its fan base is loyal to no end. Small, but loyal. That was evident this past week when the Sabres announced that ticket sales were going through the roof. Nearly the entire lower bowl was filled with fans at a recent practice that was open to the public. Good luck trying to convince owners that their lockout hurt the sport. An argument could actually be made that the lockout actually helped hockey. How does the old saying go? Absence makes the heart grow fonder? If you spent any time listening to sports radio or reading fan forums, you’d believe that to be true. Real hockey fans were dying to see Sidney Crosby, Alexander Ovechkin and Thomas Vanek back on the ice.

More importantly, they’re still willing to pay for it. In truth, individual ticket sales make up a small percentage of a NHL team’s profits. It’s more important for a team to land TV contacts, stadium naming rights, advertising contacts and corporate box seats. Time will tell if the league can rebound, but where there are fans, the corporate money will follow. Another strike against the NHL has nothing to do with the lockout, but rather deals with the fundamental mainframe of the game itself. That problem is a lack of marketable superstars. Yes, the NHL has a few big name guys like Crosby or Ovechkin that a casual sports fan would recognize. But ask ten people on the street if they know who Joffrey Lupul or Jamie Benn are. How many knew? One? Two? Zero? Those two guys were on the NHL All-Star Team last season. The problem stems from the lack of ice time that the stars can see. If you go to a Miami Heat game, you know that LeBron James is going to be on the floor for 35+ minutes and score at least 25 points. He’s going to be a difference-maker in the game. In the NHL, if you go see a Washington Capitals game, you’ll see Ovechkin on the ice for a shade under 20 minutes, according to the 2011-2012 season’s numbers. He scored 38 goals in 78 games — just under 50 percent. So if you go to two games and drop well over 100 dollars on tickets alone — and gas, parking, concessions, etc. could make that number skyrocket — you MIGHT see Ovechkin score a goal. It’s really no wonder the NBA is more popular than the NHL right now. It’s also much easier for everyday people to play basketball. Hockey is expensive. You need skates, a stick, pads and an ice rink. To play basketball, all that’s required is a ball, a pair of sneakers and a hoop — which there a lot more of than ice rinks. A person is more apt to watch and enjoy a sport that they play as opposed to one they don’t. Again, the NHL certainly has some strikes against it and the lockout probably didn’t do them any favors, but don’t automatically assume that commissioner Gary Bettman drove the league into the ground, because that’s simply not the case. The NHL will be just fine, and thanks to an end to the lockout, so will its fans. Comments on this piece can be directed to stefan. gestwicki@star-mediagroup.com.

The conference championship games are upon us after two weeks of incredibly entertaining playoff football. It’s possible that last week was the greatest week in NFL history. We had a double-overtime playoff game, a game-winning kick as time expired, a 70-yard touchdown pass that tied a game with seconds remaining, a record-breaking performance by a quarterback making his eighth career start and some bizarre coaching decisions that will be questioned for a long, long time. Let’s hope that was just the appetizer. The main course is on its way.

SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS at ATLANTA FALCONS (Sunday, 3 p.m., FOX)

So much for Atlanta not being as good as its 13-3 regular season record. The Falcons probably should have won their game with Seattle by more than the skin of their teeth. Sure, Matt Bryant’s field goal to win the game will go down in team history forever, but when you’re up by 20 in the second half, it shouldn’t be that close. On the other side, Colin Kaepernick and San Francisco obliterated the Packers’ defense. After an early pick-6, the first-year starter simply took off, rushing for a playoff record 181 yards and two scores. Green Bay simply had no answers. Aaron Rodgers wasn’t terrible, but threw an interception on third down that proved costly. WHY SAN FRANCISCO CAN WIN: It used to start and end with defense. The 49rs’ defense is littered with Pro Bowlers like Aldon Smith, Justin Smith, Patrick Willis and Carlos Rogers. All of a sudden however, this team is just as scary on offense. Former starter Alex Smith was a game manager and did a great job of not turning the ball over. Kaepernick, on the other hand, has breathed new life into a receiving corp that includes former first-round pick Michael Crabtree and future Hall-of-Famer Randy Moss.

(AP Photo/Ben Margot)

Even Vernon Davis made an appearance against the Packers. Simply put, there’s not many reasons why this team CAN’T win. WHY ATLANTA CAN WIN: Home field advantage can never be underestimated in the NFL. The Falcons will get to stay in their own homes all week while the 49ers have a cross-country flight and hotels to deal with. The time change factor is probably overrated, but the numbers don’t lie: teams coming east for the early game simply don’t succeed very often. Add in crowd noise and the Georgia Dome could become a very hard place for a visiting team to win. Plus Matt Ryan is eager to prove his doubters wrong. He got his first playoff victory, but a Super Bowl ring might be enough to put him into that elite category with Brady, Brees and Rogers. WHO WILL WIN: You can pick apart their schedule or shine a light on their weaknesses all you want, but the Falcons are the No. 1 seed in the NFC for a reason. The 49ers were also winless in two attempts against the St. Louis Rams. Yes, Kaepernick has looked unstoppable. Yes, the 49ers defense is the best in the league. Yes, Matt Ryan has a tendency to…not perform…in big games. The Falcons still have Roddy White. They still have the electric Julio Jones. They still have Tony Gonzalez, who is almost assuredly retiring at the end of this year and wants more than anything to add a Super Bowl to his Hall of Fame career.

THE CALL: Atlanta 31, San Francisco 27.

BALTIMORE RAVENS AT NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS (Sunday, 6:30 p.m., CBS)

And everyone was so sure about a Peyton ManningTom Brady AFC Championship. Instead, we’ll get a rematch of last year’s game when the Patriots prevailed on a horribly missed field goal from Billy Cundiff. The two teams met earlier this season too, with Baltimore coming out on top 31-30 on another interesting Ravens kick. Justin Tucker “made” a 27-yard field goal as time expired to give Baltimore the win. The ball sailed over the right upright, making it very difficult to tell if the kick was true. If the last two games between these teams are any indication, this matchup should be one for the ages. WHY BALTIMORE CAN WIN: After ending the regular season on a putrid 1-4 run, the Ravens seemed to have found their mojo after knocking off Indianapolis and then the No. 1-seeded Denver Broncos. Tom Brady and Peyton Manning are the consensus best two quarterbacks of this generation. Baltimore and its own contingent of future Hall-of-Famers can knock both of them out of the playoffs in one year. Ray Lewis’ emotional retirement announcement is going to continue to give this team new life. Quarterback Joe Flacco had another monster game, this one against a top defense in Denver.

The last person out of the pool is usually greeted by a contingent from both his team and the opposing team, congratulating him on a good race. It’s a wonderful thing to see and a main reason why the Dunkirk-Fredonia practices are running so smoothly. “Once we started doing it, I don’t think it could work any better,” Ball continued. “It’s been a good situation for us. The kids get along great. They’re a lot alike. For the most part, swimmers are usually good students, so there’s little issue with that. The first day we had a very good practice and finished with a game of water polo and switched up the teams. I don’t think it could have worked out any better for us.” “The older guys didn’t flinch at all when they heard Fredonia would be

swimming with us,” Westling added. “They have been swimming for years and know these guys, have competed against these guys and like these guys.” An unforeseen benefit to this situation is the building of a relationship between Westling, a firsttime coach, and Ball, a coach with years of coaching experience between swimming and football. “It’s been great,” Westling said. “(Ball) is a wealth of knowledge. He’s willing to answer any question I might have. He’s been great to have around. It’s almost like a blessing in disguise. I appreciate everything he’s done and every piece of advice he’s given me. I know that there’s only so much I know as a first-year coach.” (Westling) is very knowledgeable,” Ball added of his coaching counterpart. “I did not swim in high school. Since then, I’ve learned a lot about swimming, but he’s

certainly knowledgeable having swum. He knows what he’s doing. This is Dunkirk’s third coach in three years, which makes it hard to build a program. Hopefully he sticks around a few years because I can see him doing good things here. He’s been very easy to work with. I’m very pleased as far as that goes.” It hasn’t just been the coaches exchanging information either. The athletes themselves have helped each other whenever they can. Fredonia senior Jacob Brown, who Ball called “one of the best flip turners I’ve had”, has demonstrated to some of Dunkirk’s younger athletes how he snaps over to get the most out of his turn.

clash as Clymer (3-0, 9-2) heads to Sherman (5-0, 10-0) in a matchup where somebody will be handed its first league loss. Neither team has shown much weakness, but Sherman has yet to lose it either league or non-league play. Wrestling: Falconer and Maple Grove at Salamanca Tournament — Falconer continues to be near the top of the Western New York rankings and recently won the Patrick J. Morales Memorial Wrestling Tournament for the fourth time in five years. The Golden Falcons aren’t a team anyone would want to go up against right now. Wrestling: West Seneca West at Jamestown — Jamestown moved up the Western New York large school rankings and currently sits at No. 6 after spending a few weeks at No. 8. The Red Raiders might be finding their form at exactly the right time in the season to make a run. Boys Basketball: Forestville at Panama — Both these teams trail Maple Grove and Westfield in the CCAA Division 3 standings, but a win by either the Hornets (12, 3-6) or the Panthers (2-1, 3-4) would be a step in the right direction if either plans to chase down the leaders.

If this game is half as entertaining as the first, it’s a must see

High School athletes of the Week By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

Basketball Zed Williams (Silver Creek) — Williams scored his 1,000th career point in the Black Knights’ 86-79 win over Randolph, Thursday. His 25 points, including 13 in the final eight minutes, helped Silver Creek erase a fourth-quarter deficit and remain undefeated both in CCAA Division 2 (6-0) and overall (11-0). Swimming and diving

Shawn McDonald (Frewsburg) — McDonald helped Frewsburg to a pair of victories on the week. On Thursday he won both the 400 meter freestyle (5:10.79) and the 100 meter

backstroke (1:15.76). He also was part of two of the Bears’ winning relay teams, leading off the 200 medley relay and the 400 freestyle relay. Frewsburg defeated Fredonia, 115-68. Then on Tuesday, McDonald again won the 100 backstroke (1:12.57) while taking second place in the 400 freestyle and helped the Bears win the 200 medley relay as Frewsburg beat Panama, 61-40. Bowling Emily Dillenburg (Forestville) — Dillenburg led Forestville to an 8-0 record for the week. The Lady Hornets first dispatched of Frewsburg, 4-0, thanks to Dillenburg’s 550 series and high game of 202. She really turned it

on Monday in Forestville’s “Strike Out Cancer” event at Lucky Lanes as she broke the magical 600 mark with a 606 series. Her high game was 226. The Lady Hornets now sit atop CCAA Division 2 with a record of 34-2. Wrestling Jake Youngberg (Falconer) — Youngberg only had one tournament this week but made it count. Wrestling at 145 pounds, Youngberg dominated his way to a class championship at the Patrick J. Morales Memorial Wrestling Tournament on Saturday. His victory helped the Golden Falcons capture the team championship for the fourth time in five years. Youngberg won all three of his matches by fall.

“You can set out a Waggler,” Nathan from Cabela’s sport store recommended. A waggler is a rock-formed dome shaped like a large inverted salad bowl. At the basin’s center is a tall rod that sticks upward — its antenna. The tip is affixed with a bushy animal’s tail, similar to that of a squirrel, fox or mink, bringing to mind the 1950’s fad of attaching a raccoon tail to the car’s radio antenna. The tail can be jiggled remotely, as far away as 100 yards, via a wireless digital control; creating a radio operated tail wagging. Higher-end models have a speaker mounted inside the plastic rock-shaped bowl. Choosing a particular button, the sound of a startled animal — a hare, fox pups, a fawn in distress, a house cat — will come from the speakers. “We have a lot of different styles,” Nathan suggested, adding, “most have a quiver option and calling.” Rabbit squeals, advertises the Waggler, can lure them into killing range. Lure what into killing range? “Usually coyotes,” Nathan confirmed. Attitudes on the subject of what to do about coyotes vary as diversely as those who hold those attitudes. To a farmer, they’re a pest. To hunters, another competitor for deer. For too many, a bane out of nature. Game hunters, according to public opinion — both as stated within online websites and within the minutes of Chautauqua County Legislature meetings — seem to unite that the coyote may possibly be a competitor for deer hunters. Environmentalists, organizations such as People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), and the Coalition to Abolish the Fur Trade (CAFT), would seek a complete moratorium on killing wild animals. Rural residents of Chautauqua County, those with personal or antidotal experience with coyotes, tell accounts contrasting both nuisance and attraction. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation says there are between twenty-five and thirty thousand coyotes throughout the state. Opinions regarding the coyote impact, their environmental balance, the deer-tocoyote appropriate ratio, their ecological impression, and, with a greater biased judgment, their necessity, sustain a varied resolution. A resolution — one sanctioned by the NYSDEC game licensing commission — is to hunt them; to kill them. Annually, Chautauqua County issues approximately 34,000 hunting licenses. The coyote hunting season is October until

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) -After rejoining his Buffalo Sabres teammates on the ice for the fi rst time in some nine months, goalie Ryan Miller had a few lingering frustrations to get off his chest regarding the NHL lockout. ''The best thing to do is acknowledge that it was stupid,'' Miller said Friday, before turning his attention to Sabres fans. ''I appreciate their patience. I know it's a hard situation. I still don't even know the right message because it was just a stupid, useless waste of time.'' Miller, who played a role in negotiations, called himself ''embarrassed'' that it took more than six months of negotiations to reach an agreement. At one point during talks, he gave up on the possibility of there being a season this year. And he laid the blame on owners, specifically singling out Commissioner Gary Bettman, whom he accused of being the reason why the four-month lockout wasn't resolved sooner. ''In my mind, it always had to be January in Gary Bettman's mind,'' Miller said. ''Obviously, he had something in his head and he was going to see how far he could take it. So there's really no going up against Gary, when he has something in his head.'' For someone who hasn't played in a competitive game since April 5, the ever-outspoken Miller seems already in midseason form. ''It's exciting to be back. It's the way you that you're supposed to feel,'' he said. ''It's not in the board room, so that's good. It's getting back on the ice, and that's the important part.'' Spending much of his

Associated Press

SaBreS’ FanS STILL LoyaL aFTer LaTeST LoCkouT ConTInueD From pG 1 The show of support allayed whatever fears team president Ted Black had regarding what lingering effect the four-month lockout might have in turning away Sabres fans. ''Sunday's ticket sales took us by surprise and, frankly, blew us away,'' Black said. ''As of Saturday afternoon, we didn't even know what our final schedule would be. And for the fans to respond on Sunday is really humbling.'' The ticket-sale total was the second-highest for a single day in team history. It trailed

only the number of tickets sold for the 2008 Winter Classic, when Buffalo hosted Pittsburgh at Ralph Wilson Stadium on Jan. 1. And the tickets the team put on sale Sunday were made available only to current season-ticket and mini-pack ticket holders. Individual game tickets will go on sale to the general public on Tuesday, leading to the expectation that the Sabres will sellout much if not all of their schedule before their home-opener on Sunday against Philadelphia.

The Sabres cap their season tickets at 15,400, leaving about 3,200 tickets available for each game. The team has a 3,000-person waiting list, and estimates it lost about 80 season-ticket holders since last summer. ''I think it's one of the many affirmations that you continue to get that Buffalo is one of the premier hockey markets in North America, if not the world,'' Black said. ''Hockey runs so deep here at all levels, men, women, grandparents, people who have grown up with the game. It's just part

of everyone's DNA.'' Many fans in Buffalo grumbled through the labor dispute, blaming both the NHL and players in comments made on local sports talk shows and in letters to the editor. And yet, their passion for the Sabres was evident last week, when hundreds turned out at a suburban arena to watch Buffalo players hold informal workouts. Brosius credited the continued support on Sabres owner Terry Pegula, who purchased the team two years ago. Pegula has

spent freely in an attempt to build a winner, and has also addressed fan concerns by making numerous improvements at the arena. ''It seems like he cares,'' Brosius said. ''He cares about us. He cares about the city. He seems like one of us.'' The NHL's return and a packed arena should also provide a boost to numerous downtown businesses, particularly bars and restaurants, which rely on the Sabres to draw people downtown. Josh Ketry, operations

manager at the Pearl Street Grill and Brewery, is planning to hire additional staff, and added that current employees should expect to get an additional 10 hours of work per week. ''It's absolutely exciting to have them back,'' Ketry said, noting his establishment is busy during home games, and also draws fans to watch the Sabres play on the road. ''I was happy for everyone, not just us, especially in the cold winter months when it's kind of the toughest to bring people down here.''

Chapter of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame. Jeffrey Smith, a former Trojan wrestler from 1980 to 1984, summed up what Thurnau meant to those who wrestled under his direction: "To say that Coach Thurnau had a profound effect on my life and the lives of my teammates is an understatement. His years of teaching, mentoring and coaching were a labor of

love. He treated us like we were his sons and like a father's love, it was undying and unyielding. He taught us to do what is hard and achieve what is great, to respect everyone and fear nobody, and each one of us is a better person today because of the lessons we learned from him." Joining Thurnau as inductees in the Class of 2013 will be

Jim Young, Cal Cederquist, Dan Palmer, Ron Blackmer, and the late Jim Foti. Two-time Olympic gold medalist Bruce Baumgartner, regarded as the greatest heavyweight freestyle wrestler in American history, will be the guest speaker. The CSHOF induction banquet on February 18 will begin with a hospitality session at 5:00 p.m. with

dinner at 6:30. Tickets may be purchased at Matt’s News on Third Street in Dunkirk, Fredonia Food Mart on Temple Street in Fredonia and Jamestown Cycle Shop on Harrison Street in Jamestown. Tickets can also be ordered by phoning Chip Johnson at 485-6991. The price per ticket is $50. CSHOF members receive a $5 discount.

CSHoF InDuCTee ConTInueD From pG 1 After retiring from Southwestern in 2002, he was offered the position of head wrestling coach at Jamestown Community College and he remained in the job until 2007. During his tenure at JCC, 19 wrestlers earned a trip to the NJCAA National Tournament. He also was selected as the NJCAA Region III Coach of the Year in 2003 and in 2004, was selected

by NJCAA Wrestling as the National Man of the Year. After leaving the head coaching position at JCC, he continued to serve as the team's assistant coach through 2010. Thurnau was inducted into the Western New York Wrestling Coaches Hall of Fame in 2010 and the following year he was honored again with induction into the Upstate New York
