New Leadership, New Direction Dunkirk Mayor sees bright future for city

By Mallory Diefenbach Star News Writer

Across the country this year, new leaders will be elected. Even in November the entire country will choose who will lead it for the next four years. The city of Dunkirk recently kicked off election season by electing Anthony J. Dolce as their new mayor. And Mayor Dolce has great plans for Dunkirk. “We have a lofty agenda, lots of things to accomplish in terms of development, infrastructure, updating our technology within city hall and the buildings that we own,” said Mayor Dolce. “There is a lot on our agenda.” Mayor Dolce wants to bring more development to Dunkirk. He is working closely with the Dunkirk Marina to build more road-track and to continue the work being done down by the waterfront originally started by his predecessor, former Mayor Richard Frey. In addition, Mayor Dolce wishes to expand on areas throughout the city such as Central Avenue. He also hopes to regain Restore New York funding for projects. Restore New York is a program that the state started a few years ago. “Basically what it is, its’s a dollar for dollar match,” explains Mayor

Dolce. “So if a municipality gets, let’s say, a million dollars. The developer will put in a million of their own, and then you have two million to go towards that project. In Dunkirk we had the former Parker Street building where the city received a million and the developer put in a million, and they have retail on the bottom and nice apartments on the upper two floors. But the state hasn’t committed to bringing that funding back.”

Even though there is a large agenda to take care of, Mayor Dolce feels up to the challenge. “I feel with the appointments that I made, surrounding yourself with talented people, working with my council and reaching out to the community for help is the way to go,” said Mayor Dolce. With everyone working together, there isn’t anything that can’t be overcome. “I think people who know me know that I am more apt to a team

approach,” said Mayor Dolce. “You know ultimately the decision rests on my shoulders, but I feel it’s important to get as many worthwhile opinions as possible when handling matters.” To those who wish to keep tabs on the city’s plans, you can visit the city’s website at http://www.dunkirktoday. com/node.

Taking Time to Make a Difference National Mentoring Month in Chautauqua County

By Mallory Diefenbach Star News Writer

There is nothing more satisfying then helping someone, watching them grow and becoming a successful member of society. There is nothing more satisfying then being a mentor. And January celebrates those who take the time to mentor others as National Mentoring Month. January was first proclaimed National Mentoring Month in 2002 by President George W. Bush as a way to draw attention to the campaign for youth mentoring. Every year since then the president has officially declared January National Mentoring Month. In the Presidential Proclamation written by President Obama for this year’s National Mentoring Month, it states: “At school and at home, in the library and on the field, mentors lift our youth toward their goals and ambitions. As a teacher, a relative, or a trusted friend, a mentor’s steady and dependable support can inspire a child to strive for success and instill in them the confidence to achieve their full potential. Mentorship strengthens our American family, and by teaching enduring values like diligence and self-discipline, we

make a powerful and lasting investment in our youth, our communities, and our Nation… By lending a hand and serving as a mentor, countless individuals have empowered young Americans with the confidence, inspiration, and tools to lead rich and fulfilling lives. This month, I encourage adults to make an investment in our Nation’s future by helping a child discover the best in themselves.” The goals of National Mentoring Month according to massmentors. org is to raise awareness, recruit individuals and promote the rapid

growth of mentoring. There are lasting positive impacts for those who have mentors. According to massmentors.org, youth with mentors are 52 percent less likely to skip school, 46 less likely to use drugs and 27 percent less likely to start drinking. In addition mentoring helps boost self-esteem, provides support and increases the ability to seek and keep jobs. According to mentoring.org, there are currently 18 million children in the United States who want or need a mentor, but only three million

have one. National Mentoring Month is about bridging that gap and providing those 15 million children without a mentor with one. Support National Mentoring Month and help a child near you by becoming a mentor. There are websites all over the Internet with more information about mentoring such as nationalmentoringmonth. org, mentoring.org, nationalservice.gov/about/initiatives/ nmm.asp and massmentoring. org. Another way to show support is to go on websites such as www.hsph.harvard.edu/ chc/wmy/ and tell your own mentoring story. Editor’s Note: While this story mainly pertains to the history and ideals behind National Mentoring Month, you’ll notice that we have dedicated many of the pages of our issue this week to some various organizations and programs that also play a part in people directly shaping the lives of other people. Enjoy reading, and perhaps take part in one of these organizations. Help change someone’s life this year!

Commentary: The Mentor Leader

Pat Phil

Commentary

I recently received a call from a political pollster. “What do you think President Obama’s greatest failure has been?” she asked. A. The mounting national debt; B. record joblessness; or C. lack of effective leadership. After thinking about it for a moment, I concluded that effective leadership would have led to greater success in all those other areas. This got me to thinking about leadership in a more intimate sense and how mentors, on a one-on-one basis, affect the lives of those around them. This differs from the importance our society gives to positional leadership where being in charge determines whether one is a leader. We don’t have to look far to see people “at the top” who have very few leadership skills. Most people will discover at one time or another in their lives they have been in a leadership role, whether as a

parent, boss, coach or team leader. Realizing the profound effect this can have in people’s lives and possibly across generations is the first step in developing a style referred to as “mentor leadership,” i.e. that which comes from walking along side that person, lifting them up, and yes, just spending time with them. Most of us can think about someone in our lives - a relative, teacher, spiritual advisor or friend whose legacy has encouraged us. Often we may think about their example, something they’ve said, or some aspect of our relationship that has stayed with us or shaped us as human beings. During their time of influence, we may have not even realized the effect they were having in our lives. People are watching us and learning from us whether we are aware of it or not. The good news is that these are also opportunities for shaping and nurturing the lives around us. It may mean stepping out of our comfort zone and maybe even getting our hands dirty. Along the way, it also requires the foresight that changes we make in people’s lives may not be readily apparent. Real leadership of lasting value is seen through these mentoring relationships. While one’s position or status may be a part of it, our greatest value of influence may be to those who are not our subordinates.

start room, and all the children appreciate having them there,” said Burton. “Within each room, though, we’ve had teachers assign two or three children with a higher degree of emotional or social need to spend ‘special time’ with their grandparents. They’re great at teaching manners, modeling behavior and helping to support the teacher’s lessons.” While a foster grandparent doesn’t directly teach a child, they are in direct support of what the child is learning in the classroom; be it social skills, ABC’s or mathematics. “There’s a requirement in second grade and all the earlier years of education where a child has to read out loud to an adult,” said Burton. “That doesn’t always happen at home, and the teacher knows which kids need more time. Grandma or Grandpa can sit with the child as they read, and help them read.” Burton also said that children that need to establish a relationship with an adult sometimes find that difficult in a classroom of 20 or 30 other

Many folks have heard of or even take part in the Foster Parent program, but far less are aware of a great program that is making the difference in the lives of children all across the region. The federally funded Foster Grandparent Program has been impacting kids in Chautauqua County for almost 30 years, and has no plans of stopping any time soon. “It’s wonderful!” said Linda Burton, project coordinator for the Lutheran Social Services Foster Grandparent Program. “They’re people with grandchildren who are perhaps out of town, and they didn’t get to rock or see their own grandkids. It’s no question that both sides benefit.” Being a foster grandparent is actually a relatively simple task to take part in, with a lifechanging effect to all involved. “The grandparents are places in a room, whether it’s a classroom at a school or a head

kids. But with this hands-on time, they feel special and that makes all the difference in their lives. To enroll in the Foster Grandparent program, there are a few simple requirements. You must be over 55 years of age and be willing to work at least 15 hours a week (but are allowed to be there up to 40 hours). “After we’ve seen they’re the right age, we check income requirements,” said Burton. “Foster grandparents receive a federal stipend, and we have to make sure they stay below the maximum income requirements. In this area, that’s usually not an issue. Once they’ve applied and we see they meet requirements, we check references and find out what age group and activities the grandparents are interested in. We have one Grandpa who was in graphics and now works with an art teacher. There’s another Grandma who was in accounting that helps with math. We try to place them so that they’re with their favorite age group and can use

their skills.” But safety is of utmost importance to Burton and everyone involved in the Foster Grandparent program. Every grandparent must take part in two separate background checks; a national level sex offender check and a New York State criminal check. “We make sure the seniors we place with kids are safe,” stressed Burton. If you’re interested in learning more about the program, or becoming a Foster Grandparent, you can call their office at Ta 716-665-5354. MA “We’ve had a lot of openings this year,” said Burton. Pg 2 “Years down the road, kids Pg 3 remember them and find Pg 7 their foster grandparents.

“Historically, abused children were shuffled from agency to agency telling their story of abuse and reliving those terrifying moments over and over again. Our center brings together agencies in one child friendly setting that is physically and psychologically safe.” These are the words you find on the website for Chautauqua County’s Child Advocacy Program (CAP), but they are not just words. This is the reason that the CAP exists- to make the steps easier at a time when most people just don’t know what to do. “We provide services to children don’t have to go to different locations when they’ve been abused,” said Jana McDermott, Executive Director for the CAP in Chautauqua County. “We’re a one-stop shop for child advocacy. If something happens in your family or someone asks what to do, you can tell them to come and talk with us and we can help.” The CAP opened their doors in 2007 in Jamestown after the District Attorney applied for a federal grant. Since then, the non-profit organization has been funded by the Office of Children and Family Services as well as fund-raising events. They’ve continued to grow and become a solid rock for families to lean on in hard times, and are dedicated to preventing child abuse altogether. Currently, the CAP is under expansion. Their Jamestown

office is physically growing, and they are opening a new north county center in Dunkirk at 425 Main St. With a tentative opening date set in late February, there is a lot to be done to bring awareness to the whole county. “The Northen Chautauqua Community Foundation has given us a grant for $5,000 to take part in the Stewards of Children training workshops,” said McDermott. “It’s a two and a half hour workshop that teaches adults how to recognize and respond appropriately to child abuse, and prevent it from happening at all. We’ll be holding two workshops at our north county location; on Feb. 22 and March 1.” For the opening of the Dunkirk office, there are a few more hurdles to jump over, and it’s something anyone can take part in. “We need comfortable chair for children to be interviewed in,” said McDermott. While the CAP gets the majority of their funding from the state, it’s no surprise that their budget changes yearly. To help cover costs, they’re preparing for their annual

fundraising event, the Diamond Dinner Auction. “Last year, we raised over $10,000 and we hope to exceed that this year,” said McDermott. “We’re looking for different items to be donated that we’ll be able to auction, and Carlton’s Jewelry Smithing has donated a diamond pendant that will be given away to one lucky ticket holder.” Also at this event, the CAP recognizes one outstanding individual who has done a lot for the cause. This year both an outstanding individual and Christ First Church, who provided all the labor for the Jamestown expansion. The CAP works with a specialized team of multiple disciplines who help to make it the ‘one-stop-shop’ that McDermott mentioned. She is the full time director, and there is an advocate and trauma counselor on site. What makes the organization thrive, though, is the cooperation of all other entities as well. “We have the Dunkirk and Fredonia Police departments ready to be there, the Sheriffs, and the New York State Troopers,” said McDermott. “That’s the whole basis of the multidisciplinary team. The group comes together to make it easier for the family. It’s estimated that the center saves about $1,000 per case when done through a child advocacy center.” For more information on Chautauqua County’s Child Advocacy Program, or to contact McDermott about attending a workshop, email mcdermottj@capjustice.org, or visit www.capjustice.org.

Following a beautiful performance by the Chautauqua Regional Youth Symphony’s Chamber Orchestra before the holidays, board members recently completed the last step in their 2011-2012 annual fund drive. “We’ve had a good response to our Annual Fund Drive for our 25th season,” observed Youth Symphony board president Tanya Anderson. “Our recent special mailing to our previous contributors is our final push.” Each year, up to 100 students are enrolled in CRYS’s three orchestras: Prelude Strings for beginning string players, Young Artists Orchestra for intermediate musicians, and the Youth Symphony for highly talented and motivated musicians ages 13 through 21. Under the direction of music director and conductor Bryan Eckenrode, students have learning opportunities that are not available anywhere else in the Chautauqua area, including an intense weekend workshop at Chautauqua Institution. CRYS musicians are selected by teacher recommendation, and Ms. Anderson noted that there are still openings for qualified students. Teachers and students can get more

Opera House Cinema Series to Screen “Anonymous” Contributed Article 1891 Fredonia Opera House

“Anonymous,” a political thriller which advances the controversial theory that William Shakespeare never really wrote all the work that is attributed to him, is the next featured film at the 1891 Fredonia Opera House. It will be screened on Sat., Jan. 21, at 8 p.m. and Tues., Jan. 24, at 7:30 p.m. as part of the Opera House Cinema Series. Set in the political snakepit of Elizabethan England, “Anonymous” speculates on an issue that has, for centuries, intrigued academics and brilliant minds ranging from Mark Twain and Charles Dickens to Henry James and Sigmund Freud, namely: who was the author of the plays credited to William Shakespeare? Experts have debated, books have been written, and scholars have devoted their lives to protecting or debunking theories surrounding the authorship of the most renowned works in English literature. “Anonymous” poses one possible answer, focusing on a time when cloak-anddagger political intrigue, illicit romances in the Royal Court, and the schemes of greedy nobles hungry for the power of the throne were exposed in the most unlikely of places – the London stage. Directed by Roland Emmerich, “Anonymous” stars Vanessa Redgrave, Rhys Ifans, Joely Richardson and Rafe Spall. Roger Ebert, in the Chicago Sun Times, calls the film “a splendid experience: the dialogue, the acting, the depiction

The Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Northern Chautauqua is pleased to announce that two long time members and friends of the congregation will speak on Sunday. Leanna White-McMahon and Jonathan Woolson will share with us the story of a woman known simply as “Peace Pilgrim.” In 1953, Peace Pilgrim embarked on her personal pilgrimage to help humanity find a path to peace. For 28 years, Peace Pilgrim walked in the name of peace in every U.S. state, in Canada and Mexico, until her death in 1981. She declined all donations or sustaining support

from external groups, instead walking thousands of miles on the strength of her vow to “remain a wanderer until mankind has learned the way of peace, walking until given shelter and fasting until given food.” All are invited to attend this special service.

During the service, Religious Exploration classes for children in grades K-4 will meet. Childcare for those less than five years of age will also be provided. The Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Northern Chautauqua is a liberal religious community devoted to promoting individual spiritual development, working toward peace, liberty and justice in our immediate and global communities and providing companionship on life’s sacred journey. Our worship services are held each Sunday at 11 a.m. in the Grange Hall, 58 W. Main St. Fredonia. Please call 679-7944 or visit www.uucnc. org for more information.

Compeer and Chautauqua Tapestry: Teaming Up For Youth by Patricia Pihl Star Staff Writer

Compeer Chautauqua has recently received a boost to its youth mentoring program through its partnership with Chautauqua Tapestry. Compeer is one of 25 agencies collaborating with CT countywide, to bring a cohesive “system of care” (SOC) to children, youth and families. Compeer matches volunteers with youth at-risk in one-on-one mentoring with the goals of building self-confidence, self-reliance and healthy relationships among its Stacey Rasmussen and Chris Gibson of Compeer Chautauqua’s Youth Mentoring Program participants. Jann Ball, Director of advocate for themselves - how The purpose is to partner with awareness and support in the Compeer Chautauqua, says community.

hours of training, as well as ongoing support from Compeer. They are asked to spend four hours a month with their youth participating in simple everyday activities. According to Youth Program Coordinator Stacey Radmussen, activities are decided by the matches but may include going to the beach, shopping, or going to the movies. Some have volunteered at the humane society to walk dogs. In addition, Compeer offers monthly activities for matches, as those on their waiting lists at no cost. “We try to encourage healthy activities from being creative, to learning more about future goals, or doing things that may provide insight in what youth may want to achieve in life,” Ball says. “With these activities, children are absorbing a wealth of material without realizing it because they are just having fun. They are learning how to make better choices when they are out eating, or budgeting for items. We don’t ever want mentors to feel that it is their job, but that it just something that happens naturally from the process.” In one case, Ball says a mentor helped a young person deal with bullying she was experi-

5 encing at school, discussing options available to her. “It was a beautiful example of learning how to deal with an issue because of mentor support.” The benefits of mentoring aren’t going to happen overnight...but we’ve learned from our long-term matches that it does make a significant difference in their lives.” The Compeer director adds that for their part volunteers also get a greater appreciation of our community as a whole. “Many of the mentors have never encountered the culture of poverty. It helps them see through different eyes how families have struggled and how they have overcome difficulties. It is a wonderful tool.” Now nationally recognized, Ball says her organization is happy that mentoring has become a positive and more popular intervention for youth. “It shows that what we are doing in Chautauqua County is being replicated all over the country. It’s not just a tagline, mentoring does make a difference.” For more information on its youth mentoring or adult program call (716) 487-2956 or visit Compeer Chautauqua on Facebook.

County Provides Services to Prevent Lead Poisoning in Children Contributed Article Chautauqua County Health Department

Education of parents, homeowners and landlords of lead based paint (LBP) hazards is one of the most important aspects of preventing lead poisoning in children. The Chautauqua County Department of Health and Lead Task Force have been actively involved in lead education and primary prevention of lead poisoning in Chautauqua County for almost 14 years. Nearly 50% of the housing stock in Chautauqua County was built before 1950 and over 90% was built before LBP was outlawed in 1978 meaning most of our houses have some LBP in a hazardous condition which can cause lead poisoning. The Department of Health has been awarded over $9,000,000 in Federal Housing and Urban Development (HUD) grants since 1998 and working with Chautauqua Home Rehab and

Improvement Corporation (CHRIC) have made over 750 rental units and homes lead safe in Chautauqua County. Landlords with units built before 1978 and renting to families with children 6 years or younger may qualify for replacement of windows and doors and other work. Funding is still available to repair 100 more units before the end of 2012. Landlords can call CHRIC at 661-4650 for an application and tenant income guidelines. The Department of Health has also been awarded grants from the New York State Department of Health for Primary Prevention of lead poisoning of children in the City of Jamestown. The Director of Health has declared the City of Jamestown an area of high risk for lead poisoning of children because of the age and condition of the homes, the large number of rental units, the poverty rates, and the fact that an average of

23 Jamestown children/year have been confirmed to have elevated levels of lead in their bodies. Homeowners, landlords and tenants in the City of Jamestown can have their home tested for free by the Department of Health and receive a free smoke/carbon/monoxide detector. Tenants will receive free cleaning supplies and if lead hazards are found, homeowners and landlords will receive free training and painting and cleaning supplies to take care of the hazards properly. Residents can call the Health Department at 1-800-242-5865 to register and to protect their children or tenants of children form the effects of lead poisoning. For more information on Lead Poisoning Prevention or any other services of the Chautauqua County Health Department, please call 1-866-604-6789 or visit www. myhealthycounty.com.

Paintings by People with Disabilities on Display at Patterson Library Contributed Article TRC

On the heels of its successful “Winter Lane” exhibit at the Prendergast Library in Jamestown, The Resource Center’s Creations art program is gearing up for a new exhibit at the other end of the County. “Tropical Inspirations” will run from Friday, January 20, through Friday, February 24, at the Patterson Library Octagon Gallery in Westfield. The exhibit is titled “Tropical Inspirations” and will feature about 30 paintings, said Kristen Briggs, TRC’s art coordinator. “We have focused on a tropical theme, with birds, fish, flowers, and beautiful landscapes,” Ms. Briggs said. “Many of the artists that I work with may never see the ocean or have a chance to view a palm tree. We were able to learn about these lands and get lost in the paintings. I believe that the exhibit will be a moment of vacation from the snowy January.” Opening receptions for the exhibit will be held January 20 from 10:00 to 1:30 and from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. Both receptions will offer the opportunity to meet Ms. Briggs and

Chautauqua Shores Chorus Update Contributed Article Chautauqua Shores Chorus

The Chautauqua Shores Chorus has recently made some changes, including their name, their affiliation, and where they practice. Up until recently, they had been known as the Chautauqua Shores Chapter of Sweet Adelines International. Now, they are simply known as The Chautauqua Shores Chorus. The chorus unanimously decided to end their long-term relationship with the Sweet Adelines organization, and become their own, independent chorus. The chorus will continue to sing four-part acappella harmony, barbershop-style music. In addition, the chorus has changed their practice location. They now meet every Monday night at 7 p.m. at the First Baptist Church at 358 E. Fifth St. in Jamestown. If you are a woman who loves to sing, please come to a practice. If

needed, carpooling is available. Membership information can be obtained by Stacy at 814-723-6585. The Chautauqua Shores had a very busy month in December. In the Jamestown area, they sang at Friendly’s, Lascalla and Hare & Hound restaurants, Tanglewood Manor, Aspire and Love School, just to name a few. In Warren, they sang at Cambridge Warren LLC and the Struthers Library Theater. After their

annual Christmas dinner, which was held at Roberto’s in Jamestown, the chorus took a three week break. Upon their return, the chorus members are now polishing up their Valentine’s Day repertoire. If you are interested in surprising your sweetheart at work, home, or at your favorite restaurant with a personally delivered singing valentine, call Claudia at 716-962-8411 to arrange a time and compensation for services.

The actors have previously performed the play together, in 2011. Juanita Wallace Jackson, president of NSAL’s local chapter saw the two actors in that sold-out performance and commented on “… their wonderful ability to make one laugh, cry, and think about our own lives in a new way.”

Tickets are available by credit card or check by calling 716763-0578 or by cash or check, at the Jackson Center, 8:30 – 4:30, M-F and Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Flavor of the Week – The Patio Cafe By Dusten Rader Entertainment Editor

Mayville is a town that is blessed with many great things like a beautiful view of the lake, warm sunny Summers and great food. But, this year Chautauqua County residents are getting a special treat as The Patio Cafe opened its doors on Sunday, January 15. The Patio Cafe is owned and operated by the owner of Mayville’s Lakeside Thai (Sinuon) Ivori Bunthanom. Her partner Jade Fischer is a co-owner and her general manager is Stephanie Parker. Ivori decided to open another restaurant in downtown Mayville because she felt the town needed a nice place to sit and enjoy the area on a patio that would also provide local residents with a variety of appetizing dishes that weren’t easy to forget. “We wanted to bring a West meets the East kind of thing”, said Ivori. “So, I’m trying to introduce food here that isn’t the same old thing that you have every week.” The great thing about the menu is that everything on it is created with the highest of standards. Ivori specifically selected the ingredients that would produce food that she would consider herself to be worth serving. “Our food has layers upon layers of flavor,” said Ivori. “So, much so that it sings in your mouth and you’ll never get bored of it. And, it has a unique taste that you’ll continue thinking about even after you’re finished eating.” Ivori also has high standards for the way the food is prepared and presented as well. So, she created recipes that reflected that standard. She and her sister Thongmuon Bunthanom work together roasting and crushing Thai peppers to make their own crushed pepper and oil. They also make fried garlic from fresh cloves in which they mince then fry to add as a topping to pizza and as a flavor enhancer for other dishes. The menu also

caters to those with food allergies and vegetarians. Almost all the dishes can be made for vegetarians and there are gluten free options as well. In the tradition of West meeting East Ivori has provided a menu that includes authentic Thai and Asian dishes and American fare as well. The choices range from Spaghetti

with meatballs and meat sauce to a rice noodle bowl with Round Eye Steak, beef meatballs, cilantro, bean sprouts, green onions bathed in a special homemade beef broth. Then there is an Asian noodle salad with ground pork, ground roasted rice, cilantro, green onions, bean sprouts and shredded lettuce. But, at

the same time she also offers Jade’s stuffed crust style pizza with Italian sausages, green bell peppers, red onions, sun dried tomatoes, pepperoni, Mini Bella mushrooms, mozzarella and homemade fried garlic. “Jade’s Pizza is our favorite,” said Ivori. “It’s got our homemade fried garlic on it and we wanted it to be so that you only have to eat one slice to

be full.” There are also items on the menu that are specialties and require a reservation. One of those items is the tilapia fish filet topped with fried ginger, cilantro, green onions and a special soy sauce recipe. Another thing that will require a reservation is the hot pot. It’s a family style dinner that includes a portable stove at the table with beef, shrimp,

tilapia, calamari, chicken, vegetables and broth. Guests cook their own food at the table and eat it together. Both the fish and the hot pot will only be available on Friday and Saturday and will be starting in February. “The hot pot gives families a great way to interact and enjoy eating together,” said Ivori. “You share, you talk and it’s a gathering moment. It’s way of bringing the family closer together.” Plus, the menu isn’t something that is set in stone at this point. There are still things being added and it will also undergo a big change to include a much greater quantity and variety of items for the Summer season. Some examples include Ivori’s Thai Chicken Pizza that will feature her homemade sausage, beef jerky with sticky rice and spring rolls with Ivori’s homemade dipping sauce. There are even plans to acquire a liquor and beer license in the future. Ivori and the crew plan on hosting a grand opening celebration in the coming months. As of right now the celebration is tentatively scheduled for February 10 but is subject to change. It will include specials so it will be a great time to give the restaurant a try. “We hope that people come out and appreciate us being new,” said Ivori. “We need the support of the community so that we can continue doing business in hopes of sharing all of our ideas and food that I love to cook.” The Patio Cafe is located at 21 South Erie Street in Mayville. The restaurant is open for Winter hours from 10:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, 10:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday and closed on Sunday. Summer hours are likely going to be seven days a week from 10:30 to 9 p.m. For more information or to make reservations call Ivori at 602819-5154 or email patiocafe@ yahoo.com.

Hall of Fame Marimba Performer at Rosch Recital Hall

Contributed Article Jennifer Darrell-Sterbak

Hailed by TIME Magazine as “the world’s greatest classical marimbist,”Leigh Howard Stevens will perform repertoire that ranges from the Preludes and Fugues of J. S. Bach to original marimba works written expressly for him. Considered “revolutionary” in the 1970s and 1980s, onehanded rolls, mallet independence, contrasting sustaining techniques and birch-handle mallets have all become, in large part, due to Mr. Stevens’ talents and innovation, commonplace in contemporary marimba playing. Leigh Howard Stevens was inducted into the Percussive Arts Society’s Hall of Fame in 2006. Artist Biography: Hailed by Time magazine as “the world’s greatest classical marimbist,” Leigh Howard Stevens’ repertoire ranges from Renaissance music and the Preludes and Fugues of J. S. Bach, to original marimba works written by contemporary composers expressly for him. Much of this unaccompanied literature was considered technically and musically impossible by one player until the development of Mr. Stevens’ new system

of four-mallet technique. Percussionists and marimbists worldwide have adopted his revolutionary approach and his book on the subject of four-mallet marimba technique, Method of Movement, has been translated into six languages. It is difficult to find a single aspect of marimba technique, repertoire or design that has not been profoundly changed by the work of Leigh Howard Stevens. From “Stevens Grip” to the types of motions used to play the instrument; from the length and material of the mallet handles to the wrapping and stitching of the heads; from the first height-adjustable all wooden marimba frame in the 1980’s to the first fully-tunable resonators in the 1990’s; from one-handed rolls and baroque ornaments to the use of contrasting roll types; from the early polyphonic Helble Preludes to the works of John Serry, David Maslanka and Joseph Schwantner, to his own original compositions and transcriptions. Considered “revolutionary” at the time, many of these concepts and developments are now used routinely by players and teachers around the world, and in fact, have become synonymous with

contemporary marimba playing. It is no exaggeration to say that Leigh Howard Stevens has not just been at the cutting edge of the development of the marimba in the last 35 years – he has been the cutting edge.

Thursday, January 26 WCA Center For Orthopedics, Sports Medicine & Rehabilitation PRESENTS: Management of Concussions in Sports,

This fresh approach to music making on the marimba has greatly expanded the instrument’s compositional possibilities, stimulated composer enthusiasm for the marimba’s use in solo and chamber music, and ultimately led to a se-

ries of more than thirty world premiere performances by Mr. Stevens. The first performance of Raymond Helble’s Concerto for Marimba and Orchestra by Leigh Howard Stevens and the Denver Symphony in 1980 was a milestone in the development of marimba literature. His digitally recorded all-Bach album has been greeted with rave reviews for its artistry by magazines as diverse as Stereophile and Billboard. Devoted marimba lovers have sprung up all over the world – both players and general public -- converted by Leigh Howard Stevens’ solo recitals, hundreds of college campus appearances, concertos with symphony orchestra, European concert tours, masterclasses and radio and television appearances both here and abroad. He has been featured in Time Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and appeared on National Public Radio’s All Things Considered, and Voice of America’s internationally broadcast New York, New York. His celebrated musicianship, imaginative programming and exciting performances have inspired critical acclaim and standing ovations in forty-eight of the United States and 18 other countries. Mr. Stevens intro-

duced the marimba to The People’s Republic of China in a televised performance that reportedly reached an audience of 800 million viewers. In addition to performing exclusively on an extendedrange Malletech Marimba of his own design, he serves as a consultant and conducts educational masterclasses for Malletech. Mr. Stevens was Professor of Marimba at the Royal Academy of Music, London from 1997 through 2004. He has been awarded four U. S. Patents for marimba design. In 2006, Leigh Howard Stevens was inducted into the Percussive Arts Society’s Hall of Fame.

Movie Review - And The Winner Is… Star Staff Writer Amber Rinehart

Here we are. It’s awards season, when all of Hollywood gathers to honor the best films and performances of the year. The Golden Globes were just held on January 15, leading us now to the coveted Academy Awards at the end of February. Many people dislike award shows, saying that it really is only to allow Hollywood to pat themselves on the back. I must admit that I think there are way too many award shows and the problem with them is that they do often tend to be more about politics rather than filmmaking. Another issue is that only the most recently released films are ever really considered for the awards. This means that very often, amazing films from earlier in the year tend to be forgotten. Despite all of the criticism of award shows, there is one positive element; they let you know what amazing movies you should check out. The award for Best Dramatic Motion Picture went to The Descendants beating out The Help, Hugo, The Ides of March, Moneyball and War Horse. George Clooney also snatched the award for Best Actor in a Drama for his performance in this film as well. Clooney plays Matt King, a workaholic father of two in Hawaii. After an accident leaves his wife in a coma with little chance of waking, he now needs to learn to deal with life again and find a way to connect with his teen and pre-teen daughters. Although this film is touching and heart-wrenching at times, it is not just a cryfest. It reads as very realistic and touches on all emotions.

The Descendants is written and directed by Alexander Payne, who previous writing and directorial works include Election, About Schmidt and Sideways, all of which have won Oscars and Golden Globes. The surprise winner of the year comes in the form of a black and white, silent film that won the award for the Best Musical or Comedy. The Artist beat out Bridesmaids, 50/50, Midnight in Paris and My Week With Marilyn for the honor. This film was a shock, not because it won, but because it was made in the first place. It is amazing that any studio would give the greenlight to a silent, black and white film made by a little known French director and starring little known French actors. Michele Hazanavicius wrote and directed The Artist and cast his own wife Berenice Bejo as the female lead with Jean Dujardin as the male. Dujardin also grabbed the award for Best Leading Actor in a Comedy or Musical for his role. The Artist tells the story of a silent movie actor and a dancer as they attempt to deal with the transition from silent films to talkies in 1927 Hollywood. Even though this silent film may not be everybody’s style, it is definitely worth checking out. Hugo director Martin Scorsese won the award for Best Director beating out Woody Allen for Midnight in Paris, George Clooney for The Ides of March, Michel Hazanavicius for The Artist and Alexander Payne for The Descendants. Hugo takes place in 1930’s Paris and tells the story of a young orphan that lives in a train station as he unravels a mystery involving his father and an automated machine.

Asa Butterfield stars as the title character of Hugo. At only fourteen years old, Butterfield has graced the screen many times in films such as Nanny McPhee Returns, Son of Ranbow and his show-stealing performance in The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. Hugo is full of action, adventure, heart and passion and Scorsese certainly deserved his award for this wonderful film. One of the great snubs of the night came from the lack of recognition for the critical and audience favorite The Help. Although, it did take a home a few small awards and is still a strong contender for the Oscars, The Help was definitely overshadowed for the evening. Do not let that convince you about the quality of the film though. The Help was written and directed by Tate Taylor, stars Viola Davis and Emma Stone and is based on a book by on a novel by Kathryn Stockett. The Help takes place during the 1960’s in Mississippi and tells the story of a young, aspiring writer that decides to share the experiences of the black housekeepers that work in wealthy white households. Despite not winning many awards, The Help is often considered one of the best films of the year and definitely worth a trip to your video rental store. Other big winners for the night included Michelle Williams for her portrayal of Marilyn Monroe in My Week with Marilyn and Meryl Streep for her work as Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady. For those interested, other high honors went to The Adventures of Tintin for Best Animated Film, Homeland for Best Television Drama and Modern Family for Best Television Comedy or Musical.

Woodsongs January 26 Contributed Article Ken Hardley

The December show with Cindy Haight, Blue Magoo, and Bess Raynor was remarkable in lots of ways. This show displayed local blues and rockabilly at its best. The night featured a blend of originals and covers, showcasing fine musicianship and culminating with everyone doing the enduring classic, Mystery Train. You can find the show podcast on www.wrfalp.com. On the January show we have the good fortune to have critically acclaimed recording artist, singer, songwriter, violin/violist - Mary Ramsey! With her is her band The Healers. Their press release follows: “Mary is among the rare breed of musicians whose talent knows no boundries. From jazz standards to folk songs, through pop tunes and the classical music repertoire, Mary can travel a vast musical territory and still make it all sound fresh and totally original. Ms.Ramsey is a classically trained violinist/violist, who has been playing since age five. She has worked with numerous symphony and philharmonic orchestras and is currently a member of the Western New York Chamber Orchestra. John and Mary, her folk-rock duo with John Lombardo, a former member of 10,000 Maniacs, was formed in 1989. The pair made two recordings for Rykodisc,(Victory Gardens and The Weed Killers Daughter), one independent release, (Pinwheel Galaxy), and another with their band The Valkyries, (Peace Bridge). During the early 1990’s, she played violin and viola for 10,000 Maniacs and performed on the 1993 album MTV Unplugged. Along with John Lombardo, she returned to 10,000 Maniacs

in 1995 after Natalie Merchants departure. Her lead vocals, violin/viola and songwriting skills were featured on the bands CDs Love Amoung The Ruins(Geffen) and The Earth Pressed Flat (Bar None). Their cover of Brain Ferry’s More Than This became a top 40 hit. Mary toured with 10,000 Maniacs throughout the United States, Europe, South America and as part of USO Shows in Kuwait. She was most recently featured during 10,000 Maniacs 2011 30th Anniversary Tour. Ms. Ramsey has worked as a performer and music director for The Irish Classical Theatre in Buffalo,N.Y. She teaches private lessons in violin, viola, piano and voice. One of Mary’s many musical projects, her band The Healers, dates to the summer of 2005, when her chiropractor, Dr. Marc Rosen and the husband of her massage therapist, Craig Gordon, provided guitar accompaniment for Mary and two of her violin students at the Kidsfest portion of Buffalo’s annual Elmwood Ave. Festival of The Arts. They were invited back the following year and had such a good time rehearsing and performing that they decided to expand the repertoire and perform on one of the festivals main stages. The group became Mary Ramsey and Friends when Craig’s wife, massage therapist Sandra Williams-Gordon, was added to the line-up on vocals and percussion. The group has continued to be a popular feature at the annual Elmwood Festival, in addition to performing at house concerts, benefits, private functions and other concert events. At one such event, when Mary noticed her optometrist sitting in the audience, she remarked “I’m surrounded by my healers.” Hence the current name and a very cool one at that! In another recent project! Mary is joined by fellow Buffaloian’s

Check out Mary Ramsey and The Healers, Mary’s videos with 10,000 Maniacs and John and Mary and The Valktyries on Youtube.” It’s very exciting to have someone with Ms. Ramsey’s talent on the Woodsongs stage. We decided to dedicate the entire night to her and her band so that she can show us the full range of her very eclectic musicianship. I’m eager to experience her music in this intimate setting and get to know her onstage. I must mention here that the response to the Woodsongs Coffeehouse Radio Hour has become almost overwhelming in some ways. I think it has surpassed our expectations, in particular the attendance at the taping of the shows. We have a wonderful group of Woodsongs friends who rarely miss a live show. In addition to that, the taping of the show has become an entertainment destination for a growing number of people. An hour before the commencement of taping the December show, there were no seats left. A wonderful problem to have, and we are working on ways to address it. In the meantime, I can only suggest the earlier the better for making sure you have a good seat. We do ask the audience to be seated by 6:45 p.m. The remainder of the Woodsongs season looks like this: February 23: Steve Piper and David Allen Coester March 29: Howie Feldman/ Rhonda Harp and Kev Rowe April 26: Chris Passamonte and Claire Stuczinski May - An Event to Remember for the finale of this Woodsongs season.

Alternative Education Students Learn Life Skills “Through The Horse’s Eyes”

Bemus Point resident Dawn Samuelson, who operates Through the Horse’s Eyes, works with students enrolled in the Alternative Education Program at the Erie 2-ChautauquaCattaraugus BOCES LoGuidice Educational Center.

Contributed Article E2CCB

Students enrolled in the Alternative Education Program at the Erie 2-ChautauquaCattaraugus BOCES LoGuidice Educational Center in Fredonia recently had the opportunity to take part in a unique lesson from nationally known horse trainer Dawn Samuelson. At Grandview Farms in Bemus Point, Mrs. Samuelson operates “Through the Horse’s Eyes,” a unique state-certified training program that teaches life skills to participants with the help of horses. Mrs. Samuelson uses the animals to help participants build confidence, break down barriers, unlock their potential, modify their behavior and body language, and learn things they never knew about themselves. Mrs. Samuelson invited students from the LoGuidice Center to take part in a lesson at Grandview Farms. They learned about communication, trust, and the importance of respecting themselves and others, all through exercises built around the horses. For instance, in one exercise, a student in the center of an enclosure had to direct a horse around him from a distance of approximately 20 feet. The student quickly learned that repeating the command louder and louder only made the task more difficult, and to achieve it, he had to earn the trust and respect of the horse and utilize the right tool. Participants in the exercises were also able to see very clearly how they project themselves to others, since horses are very sensitive to verbal and physical cues, especially

aggressive body language and behavior. Only by modifying their behavior and body language could participants earn the trust of the horse. “It’s actually a pretty dramatic way of doing it, because horses are fleeing animals – they are the prey, and we are the predators. So they have a dramatized reaction to our body language and behavior. It becomes very clear immediately how we are viewed by others through the body language we exhibit. All of a sudden, as you modify your behavior, you see positive reactions and feedback, which reinforces good behavior,” Mrs. Samuelson said. Most importantly, participants learned that their “emotional coats,” just like the coats worn by the horses during the winter, do not have to dictate the choices they make in life. “The students touched my life that day, and I wanted them to know they are all valued and that no matter what happens to us along the way, it’s part of the coat, not our identity,” Mrs. Samuelson said. Feedback from students and teachers alike was overwhelmingly positive. “The students told me how much they appreciated the initiative taken by our program and Mrs. Samuelson to set up such a meaningful training activity. So Mrs. Samuelson and the Alternative Education team is now working on developing a long-term relationship with our students to continue this program through fundraisers and grants. The Grandview Farms team will also be visiting us at the LoGuidice Center to reinforce the learning that took place at the stables,” said Adam Padd,

The students who participated in the lesson share one thing in common – they might have initially struggled in a typical learning environment, but are working hard to catch up to their classmates and graduate with a Regent’s Diploma while enrolled in the E2CCB Alternative Education Program. The lesson was one of the unique educational experiences eligible students are exposed to through the Achievement Plan, an important component of the Alternative Education Program at the LoGuidice Center that seeks to boost grades, classroom participation, and attendance rates. “Through the Horse’s Eyes,” which has attracted nationwide attention, isn’t just offered to students. It is also offered to teachers through staff development programs since they interact with the students every day and can incorporate some of the lessons and strategies in the classroom. In fact, Mrs. Samuelson and her program have earned the endorsement of the St. Bonaventure University School of Education. Mrs. Samuelson’s program is offered through the Chautauqua Children’s Safety Education Village, which is located on the campus of the E2CCB Hewes Educational Center in Ashville.

Rotary Reflections

Contributed Aritcle Westfield/Mayville Rotary Club

The Westfield/Mayville Rotary Club closed out 2011 with a few interesting presentations: an 84-year-old woman told about her very interesting experience climbing Mount Everest; a club member illustrated and explained his post-retirement occupation; two relatively new members described their current employment. Mount Everest Climb Introduced by her niece, Rotarian Betsy Northrup, a vibrant Edna Northrup joined in a Base Camp at Mount Everest two years ago along with her daughter and sonin-law. A former mayor of Ellicotville, Ms. Northrup is no stranger to mountain climbing with 111 accomplished in New York and New England. “It was a very arduous trip,” she said. “It was 50 miles in and 50 miles out. It started at 10,000 feet and was to go 18,000 feet.” Also noted was that this was not all the way to the tippy-top of Mount Everest, which is why it is classified as a Base Camp trip. Ms. Northrup’s favorite song is “Take it to the Limits,” mostly because after viewing a video of the experience, she discovered there were “no limits” for her. Reaching the finish line, everyone prayed together, she added. “It’s dangerous, but very rewarding,” she said. But then, surprises can happen anywhere: “When we reached the Base Camp, the whole group lined up and shouted ‘Edna, Edna, Edna.’ It was so rewarding to me.” Rotarian’s Career Change Don Dowling, W/M Rotarian, taught school for 28 years, 12 in Wappingers Falls and 16 in Ripley Central School. Retiring in 2002, it didn’t take him

long to launch a new career. “The following September (’02), I attended the LarsonJuhl Custom Framers program in its Northern New Jersey center.” You guessed it. Dowling now is self-employed in the framing business. He chose Larson-Juhl because of its high quality, upscale frames and framing materials. In addition, the company also is environmentally conscious. All this explains the reason he primarily uses it, which tells potential customers where to get the best. Introduced by fellow Rotarian Harry Barton, Dowling gave his audience a few hints about what to look for when in need of framing. “I have been able to get a job to its owner in five days – 10 at most,” he said. Another tip: For instance, a picture to be framed can be inexpensive; it’s the frame that can be rather pricey – many starting at $100 and going up. Archival framing, however, will last if it is of good quality with acid-free materials. Oil paintings should be protected against damage. People looking for Don Dowling to do their framing can find him at Portage Hill

as the journaling block and ampersand background also create another triangle, and the paper ribbon also leads the eye to the journaling. There is no focal-point photo - unlike traditional scrapbook layouts, they’re all there to support the journaling. The journaling reads “Since I’ve been alone for the past few days, I’ve transformed from a normal-looking person into a paint-spattered mugshot, and the living room has gone from “tinted-primer” on the ceiling and walls to “Sweet Rhapsody.” It’s not finished yet, but almost there. I hope Jim likes the surprise. The hardest part has been avoiding discussing the details of my day when we talk at night. Does he really think I’ve spent that much time shopping by myself? The room is so much brighter now without such a dull color sucking the light out of it. To me, it says, “Aah, welcome home.” I like how these pages turned out for an altered book, but it’s not a layout I would suggest for a 12” X 12” page. There’s just too much going on without a focal point, and nowhere for the eyes to rest except on the lighter-colored journal-

ing blocks. That’s perfect for what this is - a visual journal of daily life, with the emphasis on the words. These pages and the painting have both been fun, but now it’s time to clean up and move on to another task. The guest bathroom would look so much better in orange. I think it’s time to shuffle off to the Home Depot paint department again for one more surprise. Besides, it’s such a fun color to scrapbook changes with.

against His will and still be God. Anything that doesn’t line up with the Word of God violates His will! We see this in 1 John 5:14-15, “Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.” Whenever we go to God, we need to go with a clean heart and be willing to line up with His Word. How

do we ensure this? First, we can ask God to reveal any wrong motives that we are harboring. Wrong thinking may cloud our judgment and impact our prayer attitude. Then, if God has shown us any areas that need addressing, we can ask His forgiveness and adjust our thinking and our prayers to make sure that we line up with His will. Next week…more on prayer hindrances.

simply spoke of her faith and the power of God. The doctor then said, “What has taken place here is a miracle.” Then what happened next is very powerful. The doctor asked, “Could you have your church pray for me for guidance?” And herein is why God demonstrates His power. He wants to touch the hearts of people and make them hunger for Him. He is always looking to arrest the attention of the world to remind us that we are never without hope. God will also confirm His Word with signs following. (Mark 16:20) He just needs people that will be willing to believe and minister His power.

I have had the privilege of witnessing many such healings. I have watched as the Name of Jesus destroyed and removed arthritis, lupus, cancer, diabetes, allergies and asthma. Just a couple months ago a woman walked into church on crutches who had an ankle so swollen she couldn’t wear a shoe. After service she approached me with tears in her eyes and showed me how her ankle was completely healed. It was instant. The swelling was gone and she had regained full movement. Jesus is the Healer! He is our Great Physician! All the glory to God.

Scrapbooking Today Project 2012: Week Two

By Anne Walterich Contributing Writer

The first few weeks of 2012 have been nothing if not transformative for me. Though I didn’t make any traditional resolutions, I’ve been on a path toward adding positive personal and crafting changes in my daily life and overall way of thinking. I like it. Jim had to travel back to the snow-covered North for a few days, leaving me alone in Florida with time to think and a chance to apply some of the ideas I’ve had floating in my head. It’s been a little lonely, for sure, but with just Sirius/ XM Radio’s “First Wave” channel to keep me company, I’ve enjoyed the solitude. My first task was to drive to Scrapbooks, Etc. in Bonita Springs, FL for some new scrapbooking supplies to add to the minimal stash I keep at our vacation home. They had to be fairly general, coordinate with what I already had, and fit into the small basket I have dedicated to papercrafting while I’m here. I was on a mission for a few pieces of

new patterned paper, some number stickers or a stamp set to use on my “Project: Annie” adaptation of Becky Higgins’ “Project: Life,” a circle punch or stamp and some dry adhesive. I haven’t been able to find these at Michael’s or Joann’s, so a specialty store seemed to be the right place to look. I was disappointed when I walked in the door and looked at all of the themed papers and products, overly complicated sprays and inks, and lack of basics. Then, like a moth to a bug zapper, I was beckoned to the 70% off bin stuck in a lonely corner near the cash register. It seemed to sing “Hello - Is It Me You’re Looking For?” With a Lionel Richie earworm now stuck in my head, I found everything but the adhesive in this bin full of glorious outcasts. I left with Scribble Scrabble’s Sweet & Sour Paper Ribbons, Heidi Swapp’s Downtown Dot Alphabet Invisible Stickers (white with a raised dot pattern), Basics Micro Mono alphabet and number white stickers, a Stampendous Circle Shadow stamp, and Authentique’s new (full-priced) petite type square stickers and “Together”

double-sided paper. For $10.63, I had accomplished my mission. Next, it was time to do what I’ve been aching to since we moved in: paint the living room. Sure, I could spend my days basking in a tropical paradise sipping Margaritas while I’m by myself, but I didn’t know when else I’d have the chance to complete another transformation and surprise Jim by having crossed one bear of a chore off of the to-do list. Besides, it was chilly. With the majority of the painting accomplished, I could finally scrapbook the before & after pages as a part of the altered book journal with my new scrappy treasures. I printed my photos on my Canon SELPHY CP800 printer (how did I ever live without this?), cut the double-sided paper in half and adhered one side to each of my pages. Next, I added the paint sample card to use as an additional journaling block and tie in with the home-improvement theme of the page. I used Making Memories ink in Sky from my stash to color the Heidi Swapp

letters and placed them on a leftover scrap of the patterned paper, and finished it with an EK Success mini cornerrounder punch. The corner punch also helped tie in the paint sample with its rounded shape. I used the inside of the book’s original jacket as my white paper, cut two pieces and used the corner-rounder to create a journaling block and a canvas for the circle shadow stamp. Then I added a Making Memories Revolution ampersand rub on, and inked both blocks with Tim Holtz Distress ink in Antique Linen and Walnut Stain. As an afterthought, I took one of the paper ribbons and an “O” letter sticker to add some more embellishment beneath the journaling, placing another paper ribbon flower cut-out on top to bring in some more orange. Finally, I added the number stickers and Making Memories rub-ons in Hudson Tangerine for the photo dates. The blue of my headscarf in the photo ties in with the blue in the “O” and the shadow circle stamp, as well as the paint sample, letters and “After” photo, creating an inverted visual triangle. The white in the “mugshot” photo as well

Keeping the Faith

By Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church of Chautauqua County

Dear Pastor, I pray all the time but it seems that my prayers don’t get answered.

Am I doing something wrong? This column just addressed a question regarding whether prayer actually works. While summing up with an “absolutely yes” to the question, we showed that it is God’s will that if you ask anything of Him, He will give it to you (Matthew 7:7-11). Why? Because He’s a loving Father Who desires to bless His children! We can give several examples from the Old and

New Testament where God answered prayers for many things including spiritual strengthening (Acts 4:31), natural needs like food (1 Kings 17:14), and healing (Acts 3:2-8). In light of these examples that do show that God answer prayers, your question can then be phrased as…”If God answers prayers, why not me?” Over the next few columns we’ll be discussing those things that can get in the way or hinder our prayers.

The first hindrance to prayer may be that you’re praying outside of God’s will. In the Book of James, the Apostle James was chiding Christians regarding strife and bad behavior. In verse 4:3 in the Amplified Version, he said, “You do ask (God for them) and yet fail to receive, because you ask with wrong purpose and evil, selfish motives. Your intention is (when you get what you desire) to spend it on sensual pleasures.” God can’t answer prayers that go

A Confirmed Healing Miracle

Rev. Tim Stahlman Family Church of the Southern Tier

Several weeks ago, on Sunday December 18, I preached a message at Family Church titled “Jesus the Healer”. As I prayed in the days leading up to that sermon, I knew that I would be ministering to the sick by the laying on of hands. Jesus said in Mark 16:17-18, “And these signs shall follow

them that believe…in My Name….they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover.” Laying hands on the sick has been commissioned by the Head of the Church for every believer to dominate sickness and disease. In prayer the Lord had spoken to me clearly that week and said within my heart, “I will stand with you as you minister by the laying on of hands.” When the time came, to be honest, I have never felt so ordinary and spiritually dry in my life. I just simply spoke to the Lord under my breath and said, “Lord I trust what you said to me. You will do the work.” That’s what we need

to understand: The Lord may use us but He does the work. Also, feelings have nothing to do with faith. God didn’t ask us to have a fuzzy feeling. Jesus said, “All things are possible to him that believes.” (Mark 9:23) In that service there was a woman in her 60s who had been diagnosed with cancer in several parts of her body. The doctors had discovered a large tumor that was growing on her pulmonary artery making it difficult for her to breathe. The tumor was considered very dangerous. She also had spots and smaller tumors developing in her lungs. When

the invitation was given, she made her way to the front of the church. I simply laid my hands on her and prayed the prayer of faith. (James 5:15) I didn’t feel anything. She didn’t feel anything. I just continued to minister the way I had been directed. A few days after the service the woman was scheduled to have a PET scan. Something radical had changed in this woman’s body. The major tumor had shrunk significantly and the spots and tumors in the lungs were all completely gone. The doctor was amazed to the point that he asked for an explanation. The woman

TANKS A LOT Finned friends can help your health

Q&A Q: Are fluorescent lights bad for birds? I have read online that they cause feather-picking. — via email A: I asked board-certified avian specialist Dr. Brian Speer (my “Birds for Dummies” co-author) for help with this one. He has his doubts that there’s any problem with having birds in rooms lit by energy-saving compact fluorescent lights. “Although there is a different flicker frequency that birds see as compared to ourselves, there is no confirmed direct causation between feather-damaging behavior and fluorescent lighting,” says Dr. Speer, who owns the Medical Center for Birds, a birdsonly practice in the Northern California town of Oakley. He doesn’t rule out CFLs completely, however, at least as a contributory factor to the problem. Feather-picking is complex behavior, he stresses. “This type of light may function as a stressor, and it is possible that some stressors may trigger anxiety,” says Dr. Speer. “Anxiety may be addressed by displacement behavioral activities, and of these, feather damage could be seen. “But this is a bit of a simplistic ‘cause and effect’ assumption for a problem that more often than not is multifactorial in nature,” he says. Stopping feather-picking, in other words, will remain a difficult road for many bird owners, with a lot of strategies employed along the way to find the magic ingredients to the cure — if it can be found at all. — Gina Spadafori Do you have a pet question?

Ear crops seem more likely to disappear as a common practice sooner, as fewer pet owners choose to have their puppies’ ears cut into an upright posture, and fewer veterinarians are willing to perform the procedure. The American Veterinary Medical Association opposes ear cropping and tail docking when done solely for cosmetic purposes, and has encouraged the elimination of these procedures from breed standards. • A “three dog night” was once described by comedian Johnny Carson as a “bad night for a tree.” But the term originates with the Inuit tribes of Alaska, who measured nocturnal temperatures based on how many of their sled dogs they needed to serve as bed warmers. — Mikkel Becker and Dr. Marty Becker

With Playoff Push In Hand, Ironmen Deal Elrod By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

The ever-changing lineup of the Jamestown Ironmen continued to shake things up this week in its search for the winning combination. Head coach Dan Daikawa sent veteran defenseman Wes Elrod to the St. Louis Bandits in a move he said he thinks will greatly help his squad. “He didn’t really want to be here,” Daikawa said. “He thinks the grass is greener on the other side of the fence and he’ll soon find out it isn’t.” Elrod, a second-year player, was fourth in the team in goals and points. However, he was also fourth in penalty minutes, including a costly game misconduct Saturday night against Janesville that likely sealed his fate in Jamestown. “He had a misconduct and a minor, that’s a 12-minute penalty,” Daikawa said. “It’s one of those things that we won that game without him, with just five defenseman, and we think we can continue to do that. “We’ll miss his offense, but I think we’re better off defensively.” Daikawa said Steve Frangione and Michael Mazzotta will be counted on to step up and play more minutes. It might not just be the old adage of “addition by subtraction” either. The return — an undisclosed amount of cash — was more than Daikawa said he expected. And the team plans to use that to improve the team before league’s trading deadline at the end of February. “A lot of teams are looking to get older,” Daikawa said. “But I think we need to get younger and better. But, that’s just how I see it and we’ll see if it pays off for us.” On the ice, the Ironmen wasted away a golden opportunity to beat the third

best team (points-wise) in the NAHL when they lost 5-3 to Janesville Friday night. Despite leading 3-0 midway through the first period and 3-2 with three minutes left in the game, the Ironmen fell apart late to lose. “We had pretty good control of the game, but they came back and we tensed up,” Daikawa said. “They came with pressure and we didn’t deal with it well enough.” But, the Ironmen came roaring back the next day and again basically outplayed one the league’s top teams with a convincing 3-2 victory. Jamestown led 3-1 after Nick Bingaman scored a shorthanded goal in the third period, but had to fight and hang on over the final 15 minutes as the Ironmen took uncharacteristic penalties. “We took some bad penalties,” Daikawa said. “I’m OK with our guys taking aggressive penalties, but

we have to be smarter against good teams like that.” Fortunately for Jamestown, they took care of business on the penalty kill much like they have all year long. Jamestown has successfully killed 87.2 percent of their penalties this year, good for eighth in the league and tops in the division. They also have 10 shorthanded goals, second best in the league. They needed it Saturday. They took three minor penalties throughout the last 15 minutes and had Janesville pull their goalie with still more than two minutes left in the game. “We just don’t let teams set up very well,” said. “We’ve used the same four forwards all year long. They’ve settled in and know what we want. It’s gotten to the point we don’t need to spend time on it in practice.” Now for Jamestown, they’ll take on another one of the top team’s in the

league when they face a growing nemesis in the Port Huron Fighting Falcons. Jamestown is just 1-7 against the Fighting Falcons, including losers of six straight. But with just 24 games left in the season, and 12 of their next 15 at home at the Jamestown Savings Bank Ice Arena, Daikawa knows it’s now or never for his team. “Our goal was to make the playoffs and we think we can still do that,” he said. “We feel we’re getting better and other teams are getting worse. We can close that gap.” That gap is just seven points below the Michigan Warriors, a team that has played three more games than Jamestown. In addition, the Ironmen also have three games left against the Warriors. But, Port Huron does present quite a challenge this week. The Fighting Falcons have all but clinched a playoff spot and have a physically imposing team that has given the smaller Ironmen some problems. One way of combatting that was the recent addition of Mike Zagari, who will now be on his third team this season after being acquired from Minot. He started the year in Aberdeen. “He came in and had an assist for us thing weekend which was great,” Daikawa said. “But once teams see him fight, they’ll quickly realize they don’t want to go.” Daikawa also said he expects his players to play better knowing one of their teammates has their back. He also thinks his team is playing better and will continue to do so. “Overall this weekend was a good stepping stone for us,” he said. “It shows we’re not far off. To be able to come back from Friday’s tough loss to win Saturday was great. It’s gives us a ton of confidence going forward.”

High Schools Hoops Roundup: Divisions Begin To Take Shape By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

With most teams halfway through their regular season, the Southern Tier’s top team is still basically up for grabs. Of course, with Jamestown playing in ECIC, we really never get to figure out how good the Red Raiders are against the rest of the county. However, if you’re looking for a County Coach of the Year, look no further than Ben Drake, the Jamestown coach that has managed to lose multiple starters, including Western New York Player of the Year Jaysean Paige, who was ticketed for even bigger things in 2011-12. But Paige transferred to Perry (Ky.) and seemed to leave Jamestown in a rebuilding year. All the Red Raiders have done is run out to a 9-1 (6-0 ECIC I) start and has a lone loss against Kingston, a 9-0 team who is currently ranked No. 2 in the state for Class AA. Jamestown, meanwhile, is ranked No. 19 in those same polls. Jamestown defeated Clarence Tuesday night 88-67 behind five players scoring in double-figures. Tommy Campion and Kevin Diaz had 18 points and Adam Cecchini had 16. With the win, Jamestown moved two full games ahead of everyone else in the division. The Red Raiders again seem like the team to beat in ECIC I. They won it last year and have already avenged their lone loss last season by beating Williamsville North at the start of the calendar year. Besides Niagara Falls, it’s hard to imagine any other AA team that can beat the Red Raiders in the sectional playoffs. CCAA I While Olean (10-1, 5-0) has managed to get out to a fantastic start

Olean and Dunkirk are the top two teams in CCAA I and might just be two of the best teams throughout Section VI's Southern Tier. (Photo by Al Gens)

with wins over St. Mary’s and Dunkirk, the division crown will likely come down to a rematch with the Marauders on Jan. 31 in Olean. Olean is the top-ranked small school in Western New York and the No. 3 ranked Class B team in the state. They are a balanced and young squad led by many underclassmen including Max Portlow, Sam Eckstrom, Nick Schmidt and Luke Hennessy. Portlow is a junior while the rest are sophomores. Meanwhile the Marauders (10-1, 5-1), who won the division last year, have played fantastic basketball as of late. During their eight-game winning streak since losing to Olean, they’ve won all games by doubledigits and have only allowed three teams to keep it under 20. Allegany-Limestone (7-5, 4-2) was the latest victim Tuesday night as Dunkirk thrashed the Gators 71-56 behind a career-high 30 points from Kevin Holmes behind six three-pointers. Mike Donaldson also had 16 points. More of a veteran lineup, head coach Jerome Moss has relied on his senior

class of Holmes, Donaldson and Josh Mleczko. Fredonia (4-7, 3-3) and Southwestern (3-6, 2-3) appear to be destined to finish somewhere in the middle. CCAA II This division is about as wide-open as it can get. Silver Creek (7-1, 4-1) and Portville (7-4, 4-1) sit at the top, but traditional power Cassadaga Valley (5-6, 3-3) still lurks behind and the Cougars boast arguably one of the best players in the county in Dustin Schauman who averages 20 points and 13 rebounds per game. Then, Salamanca (7-3, 3-2) and Randolph (6-3, 2-2) are right there in the mix and cannot be counted out in any fashion. Randolph went into Silver Creek and handed the Black Knights their first loss of the season last week. Meanwhile, Salamanca beat Cassadaga Valley, who beat Randolph and lost to Silver Creek by two. This looks like one of those races that will come down to the last week of the season.

CCAA III While not as deep, CCAA III is just as difficult to project at this point in the season. Three county teams though sit at the top and are at this point, the likely favorites. Maple Grove (6-3, 5-0) started off slow by losing their first three games of the season. Losses to Olean and Batavia are by no stretch bad losses, but the Red Dragons struggled mightily in both contests. Since dropping a game to archrival Randolph though, Maple Grove has rattled off six wins in a row. Chautauqua Lake (5-7, 4-2) has battled through injuries but has itself in prime position to stay in thick of this battle for a while. Since getting senior Jason McMahon back from an ankle injury, the Thunderbirds have won two in a row. Westfield (7-3, 4-1) is led by Austin Alonge, one of the top scorers around at 23 per game and might be the best team in the division because of him. However, they’ll have to avenge their loss to Maple Grove later in the season for any chance at that. CCAA IV Panama (8-3, 4-1) and Clymer met for the first time this season Tuesday night and Clymer got the first leg up with a 69-60 victory. The Pirates (7-3, 5-0) jumped out to a 33-14 halftime lead but had to hold on late at Panama came scrapping back behind Nick Lenart and Zach Lubi. Lenart recently became Panama’s alltime leading scorer. But, once again stealing the show for the Pirates was Adam Walker, who finished with 34 points to keep Clymer undefeated in divisional play. Also a force in the division is Sherman (7-3, 4-1) who escaped North Collins Tuesday night with a 69-63 overtime win.

FREDONIA, N.Y. — Three Fredonia State Blue Devils have earned weekly award from the State University of New York Athletic Conference. Sophomore goalkeeper Mark Friesen was chosen SUNYAC Goaltender of the Week, while junior Ryan Fuller and sophomore Ashley Keller were chosen SUNYAC Divers of the Week in their genders. Friesen made 56 saves in two games against two nationally ranked opponents as the Blue Devils finished 1-1. Friesen

stopped 19 shots in the 2-1 loss to No. 13 Elmira Tuesday night. Saturday afternoon, Friesen made 37 saves, including two key stops during a 5-on-3 advantage in the second period, as the Blue Devils completed a dramatic 3-2 overtime win against No. 6 Neumann. The Blue Devils improved to 7-6-3 and snapped Neumann's eight-game winning streak. On the season, Friesen's save percentage is 92.1 with a 2.62 goals against average. Fuller won both boards in Blue Devils' 211-78 win over Nazareth. He attained NCAA provisional qualifying status with 287.15 points in the

3-meter event and his winning 1-meter score was 271.25 points. It was the third time this season he has received the SUNYAC award, and the fourth time it has gone to a Blue Devil men's diver. Winning the award for the first time, Keller turned in a career-best performance and provisionally qualified for the NCAA meet with a 273.15 off the 1-meter board for a firstplace finish, placing ahead of All-American teammate Sarah Ficarro. Keller took second on the 3-meter springboard with a score of 254.25. Ficarro has won the award three times this year.

St. Bonaventure Sports Information

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. — The Atlantic 10 has selected St. Bonaventure senior forward Andrew Nicholson as its Men's Basketball Player of the Week for games played during the week of Jan. 9-15. Nicholson led St. Bonaventure with 25.0 points, 10.0 rebounds, and 3.5 blocks across a pair of Atlantic 10

games last week. The Mississauga, Ontario, native posted 30 points, snared 13 rebounds and blocked six shots in handing Dayton its first A-10 loss, 81-73. It marked just the third 30+ 10+ 5+ game in the nation over the last two seasons, and Nicholson is the first Atlantic 10 player to accomplish the feat since Saint Joseph's Ahmad Nivins in 2008. Nicholson followed that with a 20-point, seven-rebound outing at Xavier's Cintas Center

as the Musketeers extended their league-best conference home game win streak to 42 games, 77-64. Nicholson leads the Bonnies and ranks among the league's best in scoring (15.5 points/ game, 10th) and rebounding (7.1 rebounds/game, 5th). He boasts 20 career doubledoubles and ranks among the school's top 10 in career points (1,760), rebounds (731) and blocks (206).

Sabres Slide Continues

Chris Winkler COMMENTARY

In the first full year of our

Day- hockey lord and savior Terry s Pegula, the Buffalo Sabres have

managed to crash and burn in d stunning fashion that makes e the Buffalo Bills seem like a 2 competent organization. No, things haven’t exactly es gone to plan for the billionaire e's owner this season. For a team / whose sole existence is to win ng the Stanley Cup, perhaps making the playoffs should be the - first thing on their minds. After Monday’s 5-0 drubbing r to the Detroit Red Wings, the 731) Sabres fell to an anemic 19-215. They still haven’t managed to win back-to-back games since Nov. 11 and with the team past the halfway point of the season, now might be a good time to start putting a run together to move past W-L 12th place in the Eastern Conference. 5-0 It’s a strange place for Sabres 5-1 fans. No, not looking up in the 5-2 standings at the end of Janu5-2 ary. Sheer and utter — and legitimate — disappointment. 2-4 For the 40 years before 2-5 Pegula, the Sabres operated as 2-5 a quintessential small market 0-7 team. While the team often made the playoffs, including an astounding 24 times out of their first 30 years in the NHL, rarely were the Sabres expectations as high as they were W-L coming into this season. 6-0 They weren’t the penny5-0 pinching teams of before. They signed two of the biggest free 4-2 agents available in Christian 4-2 Ehrhoff and Ville Leino and 3-2 addressed a glaring need by acquiring a veteran, shutdown 1-6 defenseman in Robyn Regehr. 0-5 After back-to-back playoff 0-6 seasons with a younger squad, the Sabres were pegged as a Northeast Division favorite. Unfortunately, the reality has come crashing into the forefront harder than a Milan Lucic cheapshot. Granted, this season is not over yet mathematically, nor is it really even that close. But the reality is the Sabres recent play would suggest otherwise. Not only is this team 9-16-5 since the last time they posted back-to-back wins, they’ve lost to a host of bottom-of-league teams including Carolina, Toronto and the New York Islanders and sit seven points behind the eight and final playoff spot. Their franchise goaltender is 37th in goals against average, 35th in save percentage. There are 30 teams in the league.

Drew Stafford and Derek Roy, each of whom will making $4 million this year, have yet to crack double-digits for goals. You can blame it on injuries all you want, but when three of your highest paid players — and supposed leaders — are playing at this level, you have to wonder if they’re even capable of salvaging a decent season. Surely hockey is the type of sport where players and teams can get on a hot streak relatively quickly. But if you’ve been watching this team — with or without Time Warner Cable — I think you’d agree that Roy, Stafford and Miller have shown no signs of turning things around. All three have shown incredible stretches in year’s past, especially late in the season, but I’ve thrown in the towel on all of them. I don’t think this Sabres team is capable of making the playoffs unless they make a drastic change to the everyday lineup and that starts with trading one of those three. If anything else, it would be sure to shake up a locker room that fails to be accountable and seems content with mediocrity. Try not to forget this current core of players have never won a playoff series in four seasons. A few of them were on the 2006-07 team, but that was Chris Drury and Daniel Briere’s team. Ever since the keys were handed to Roy, Stafford, Jason Pominville and Thomas Vanek, this group hasn’t won. Coincidentally, the lone long stretch of winning came at the tail end of last season when Roy was injured. No general manager likes to blow up a team in the middle of the season, nor should they, especially with a young core and a lineup devastated by injuries. But besides Vanek, Pominville and Tyler Myers, how would trading any single player on the team be considered kneejerk? Regardless, we should find out a lot more about this team in the coming weeks. They will get some players back, but they’re also on a six-game road trip that saw them lose resoundingly to the Red Wings Monday night. Upcoming games with the Chicago Blackhawks and St. Louis Blues — two of the top four teams in the West — might not be the remedy. The good news, though, is if the Sabres do manage to miss the playoffs, their aforementioned owner will not simply let it slide. Might it be firing Lindy Ruff or Darcy Regier? Trading one or two core players? Maybe. All we know is Pegula said he’d stop at nothing to put together a winner. And right now, this team isn’t a winner. Write your own conclusion.

Peterson To Be Honored As Inductee At CSHOF Contributed Article Chautauqua Sports HOF

There are only a handful of people in this area who can truly be called “movers and shakers.” Without their vision, important connections and the ability to locate and utilize resources and motivate people to take action, much of what we enjoy as far as the local sports scene is concerned, would not exist. Greg Peterson is one of those very special people. And that’s why he’s one of six inductees who will be honored at the Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame’s 31st annual induction dinner on Feb. 20. The other five inductees are Betty Bartkowiak, the late Ben Bishop, Jim McElrath, John O’Neil and Bob Schmitt. Peterson, a well-respected area attorney, has always been passionate about sports. For a number of years he’s interviewed many well-known sports figures when they’ve come to Jamestown for an event or just a visit and has shared those sessions with everyone through Time-Warner Cable 8. In fact, Peterson brought many of those figures to the Robert H. Jackson Center and opened those events to the public without charge. But some of his best “work” was helping to bring minor league baseball back to Jamestown in the early 1970s when the then-Jamestown Expos took over College Stadium (now Russell E. Diethrick Park). He also played a big role in convincing Bob and Mindy Rich of the Buffalo Bisons organization to keep baseball in Jamestown by re-locating the Niagara Falls team to the city in 1994 and the Jamestown

Greg Peterson

Jammers were born and remain the occupants of the big ballpark on Falconer Street to this day. Peterson was also a key factor in the growth and development of the Babe Ruth World Series, beginning in the 1980s. Thanks to his hard work, the series has remained a fixture in Jamestown for more than 30 years. He also was the driving force behind the 1998 book “Across The Seams”, which chronicled the history of professional baseball in Jamestown and had collaborated on the production of two documentary films on the history of auto racing in our country: “Roll-O-Bowl” and “Stateline Speedway — The First Ten Years.” It’s appropriate for Peterson to be inducted in the Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame, since he’s played an important role in its growth as a board member. He’s also donated office equipment, participated in numerous events and shared his expertise, memorabilia knowledge and ideas. Peterson’s passion for sports began in childhood: he played little league baseball

and played for the Joe Albano Southside Blue Devils football team for three years, lettered in football, baseball, volleyball and track at Jefferson Junior High School and in jayvee football and basketball in Jamestown High School. He also lettered four years at Allegany College as an offensive guard and center, was selected as a co-captain in his senior year and was received a national All Phi Delta Athlete award and was the winner of the Myford Award for outstanding athletics and academics. Peterson also pitched for the Westburgh Electric Slo-Pitch Softball League team, winning a pair of city championships. He graduated from Dickenson Law School and works for Phillips, Lytle, Hitchcock, Blaine & Huber and lives in Lakewood with his wife, Cindy, and has three children. Peterson has also served as the president of the Robert H. Jackson Center, which he helped to form. He’s served on the board for the Resource Center and the Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce, as well as the SUNY Fredonia Foundation and was president of the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation for five years and was a director for 10 years. The induction dinner on Feb. 20 will begin with a hospitality session at 5 p.m. with dinner at 6:30. The guest speaker will be former Buffalo Bills wide receiver Andre Reed. Tickets are $50 each and CSHOF members receive a $5 discount. Tickets are available at the Jock Shop, Matt’s News in Dunkirk and at the Fredonia Food Mart. They are also available by contacting induction dinner chairman Chip Johnson at 485-6991.

Ragan takes seat at Front Row David Ragan, who lost his ride in Roush Fenway Racing’s No. 6 Ford when sponsor UPS scaled back its participation, has signed to drive the No. 34 Ford for Front Row Motorsports, where he will be a teammate to David Gilliland. Ragan, 26, got his first Cup win last year in the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International Speedway along with two poles, and four top-five and eight top-10 finishes. A team release indicated that sponsorship deals for Ragan and Gilliland are being finalized.

Shave to cost Kenseth $2,500

Great expectations

Dale Earnhardt Jr. livened up the media portions of last week’s Preseason Thunder test sessions at Daytona International Speedway by urging the press to help him collect on a bet with fellow Cup driver Matt Kenseth. As he closed a rather serious session about racing, new rules and changes to his race team, Earnhardt was asked about his ’70s-themed New Year’s party. Then, with a somewhat mischievous look on his face he asked: “Has Matt Kenseth been in here today? Is he coming in?” Told that Kenseth’s session was coming up in a few minutes, Earnhardt said, “Ya’ll can remind him he owes me $2,500.” It seems that Earnhardt, who hosted the party dressed as Evel Knievel, bet Matt Kenseth, then wearing a Fu Manchu moustache and long sideburns, that he wouldn’t be looking like that come the Daytona test. Kenseth showed up a few minutes later, wearing only a couple of day’s growth beard. He admitted that despite his best intentions – and his distaste for losing money – he’d had to shave it off because of some photo shoots a few days before. “I will try to scrounge it up somewhere, I guess,” Kenseth said of his debt.

Helping young drivers motivates team owner Earnhardt

or Dale Earnhardt Jr., owning a Nationwide Series race team isn’t all about the money. It’s his way of giving something back to the sport of NASCAR racing and about giving young race drivers an opportunity they might not have otherwise gotten. Sometimes it doesn’t work out, as in the cases of Mark McFarland and Shane Huffman, both of whom Earnhardt plucked from the short track circuits of the Southeast and placed in the Nationwide Series, with lackluster results. But there have also been success stories, most notably Brad Keselowski, whose was tapped by Earnhardt after his career growth appeared to have stalled. Keselowski, now driving for Penske Racing, had reached the Camping World Truck Series and the Nationwide circuit, but he was driving uncompetitive cars. Aric Almirola is another success story. He was set to drive Earnhardt’s No. 88 Nationwide Series car this season, but instead will drive the No. 43 Ford in Sprint Cup for Richard Petty Motorsports. In filling the vacancy, Earnhardt passed over several established veterans and hired 20-yearold Cole Whitt, who has limited experience in both the Camping World Truck Series and in Nationwide, but also made two Cup starts for the old Red Bull team last year, finishing 25th at Phoenix and wrecking at Homestead. “No disrespect to any of the guys that we didn’t choose – they know who they are – but we considered a lot of different people, [and] I just felt like Cole had some potential that was untapped … Potential and ability that … he hadn’t even discovered yet,” Earnhardt said. “I feel like in the guys that we looked at, we sort of know what kind of hand and cars they had and what kind of talent they had and where they would take us.

Only 32 teams showed up for the Preseason Thunder test session at Daytona, far short of the 43 that comprise a full field for a Sprint Cup race. But NASCAR president Mike Helton said he’s not overly concerned. “I think there is a good deal more activity out there than is represented by testing and some of the other things, and the fact that there will be in excess of 43 cars trying to make the Daytona 500,” he said, adding that 43 is no magical number, just one that series officials settled on years ago. “We’ve been through cycles, particularly when we get to the June-July stretch, where we may only have 43 cars show up at the race track. “But I don’t see us going below 43 this year.”

New rule bans inter-car chatter

Cole Whitt sits in his truck during practice for the Camping World Truck Series WinStar World Casino 350 at Texas Motor Speedway on November 3, 2011. (NASCAR photo) “I think it’s more exciting – a lot more risky, but more exciting – to go with a guy who you don’t really know what he’s capable of, and [who could do] big things. “But you’ve just got to take that risk, and that’s really why I do it. I don’t do it to make money. I don’t have a whole lot of other reasons to be in the Nationwide Series other than just to help somebody … “That’s why I do it. It’s funner to help the new guy than it is to help the guy that’s kind of been through the wringer a few times. “Everybody deserves their opportunity, and I just feel like that was going to be Cole’s only shot.”

Earnhardt also acknowledged that even though he hadn’t personally paid a lot of attention to Whitt, the youngster came highly recommended by people in the Truck Series. “Everybody who works in that garage in there that has my phone number called me and told me Cole was the guy,” Earnhardt said. “Every one of them. People I don’t even talk to, people that I don’t really have relationships with took time out of their day to call me and say, that’s the guy you need to hire. They had no interest [other than] seeing Cole do well and get an opportunity. “I thought it said a lot for people to do that.”

Among the rules changes for 2012 is one that bans drivers from talking to other drivers during races. With the growth of two-car tandems at Talladega and Daytona last year, teams were tuning their radios so drivers could talk to almost any driver in the field. Now they can only talk to their own crew chief. Sprint Cup Series Director John Darby said the drivers themselves requested the change. “Matt Kenseth said it the best to me in the garage,” said Darby. “He said, anything that NASCAR can do to help us get back to 1 against 42 others, he supports.”

2012 schedule right for Martin Mark Martin looked like he’d discovered a fountain of youth since the season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway. As the new driver for Michael Waltrip Racing walked into the Daytona International Speedway media center on Thursday, he had a big smile on his face, a smile he said was due in large part to the fact that he’s going back to a limited schedule similar to what he ran in 2007 and 2008. “I’m exactly where I want to be in life right now,” Martin said.

Daytona 500 likely to see return of both pack and tandem racing After three days of testing at Daytona International Speedway last week, it appears that the 54th running of the Daytona 500 will feature a good bit of racing with drivers in big packs, which many fans say they prefer. But it also appears that when the checkered flag is in sight, the two-car tandems that have dominated racing at Daytona and Talladega in recent races will return. During the Preseason Thunder test session, drivers tried several different restrictor plate sizes, different radiator combinations and varying grille openings, all in an attempt to come up with a style of racing that fans will like. On Friday, a larger restrictor plate was tested, and Kurt Busch ran a lap at 206.058 miles per hour. By Saturday, a smaller plate was mandated and Jeff Gordon and his new Hendrick Motorsports teammate Kasey Kahne topped the speed chart by turning identical laps of 201.545 mph. Sprint Cup Series director John Darby said one of the goals of the test is to come up with a package that allows for qualifying speeds significantly faster than the 186.089 miles per hour that Dale Earnhardt Jr. ran to win the pole for the Daytona 500 last year. But Darby also wants that package to not allow for speeds deemed too fast. He said the new rear spoiler package, which includes a shorter spoiler and a shark-fin-like blade on the rear window, should help the cars go somewhat faster, but still not fly through the air if the driver loses control. Darby said he felt confident that once the final rules package is determined, it will allow for faster speeds and big packs, with some tandem racing at times.

Pack racing during Saturday’s testing at Daytona International Speedway. (NASCAR photo) “With the 29/32 [inch restrictor] plate on, we’re still going to have the excitement of seeing some race speeds over 200 miles an hour,” he said. “But at the same time we’ve been able to take all the engine builders off of suicide watch today. They’re in a much more comfortable place. The rpms are back to what I’m going to call reasonable, and everything is performing very well right now.” He also said that after several changes to the grille openings, changes made in an attempt to

limit tandem racing by overheating the pushing car, he believes teams are at a point where tandem racing won’t dominate the race but will still be an option. “The one grille configuration change that we made [Friday] night seems to have been very effective, and as we continue to close the gap or lessen that delta … between old-school drafting and tandem drafting, that’s being achieved,” he said. “It’s getting closer and closer every time we make a change.” One interesting aspect of the test was the ability of a single car – Matt Kenseth’s on Friday – to chase down the pack from several hundred yards behind. In recent years, the effects of the draft made that impossible. Even with NASCAR encouraging drivers to run in a big pack and with officials making changes designed to limit the two-car tandems, nearly every test session saw driving pairing up and perfecting the art of pushing. And they say that’s the key to winning the sport’s biggest race. Like Dale Earnhardt Jr. and a lot of other drivers, Carl Edwards believes that the winner of the Daytona 500 likely will get to the finish line with the help of a pusher. “Let’s look at this realistically,” Edwards said. “Two cars, unless there is some major change in physics or car design, are going to be faster … “I don’t know how you are going to take this race, with this restrictor plate, and keep it from being the winner wins by being in a two-car draft. It is very difficult. I don’t envy NASCAR’s position but I think they are doing the right thing going through all these motions and trying to figure this out.”

Ironmen Split Weekend Pair With Division-Leading Janesville

Contributing Writer

Nick Bingaman scored twice, including the game winner midway through the third period, and Joe Gladnick made 32 saves to lead the Ironmen to a 3-2 upset of the Janesville Jets. Jamestown struck first on a goal by Brett Szajner, despite an early onslaught by Janesville that seen them outshoot the Ironmen 8-1 in the first 10 minutes of the game. The Jamestown goal seemed to spark life into the Ironmen who eventually outshot Janesville 11-9 in the first period. The Jets struck back in the second period on a rebound goal by Chris Cattivera. Gladnick made the initial save but the rebound bounced onto the stick of Cattivera who buried it into the open net. Jamestown regained their one goal lead near the midway point of the second period as Bingaman scored his first of the game on the power play. Jamestown held a 2-1 lead after two periods and Bingaman scored a shorthanded goal in the third to give Jamestown a 3-1 lead with 12:30 left in regulation. Down by two in the third period, the Jets found themselves in familiar territory. On Friday night, they erased a 3-1 third period deficit with four goals on their way to a 5-3 victory over the Ironmen. It looked like it might be a repeat when Jordan Bancroft cut the Ironmen lead to one with an extra attacker goal with 1:55 left in the game. The Ironmen were able to hang

on this time with the help of Gladnick who made three saves in the final minute to send the Ironmen to their first road victory since a 4-3 win at Michigan on Oct. 21. Special teams played a key role for Jamestown in the victory. Jamestown got a power play goal and a shorthanded goal from Bingaman while holding Janesville to 0-for-6 with the man advantage. But Friday night, after jumping out to an early 3-0 lead the Jamestown Ironmen watched their upset bid get washed away by four third period goals by Janesville in a 5-3 loss. Jamestown could not have asked for a better start to the game, scoring three times in the opening eight minutes to lead 3-0. Aaron Arm started the scoring with his second of the season. Luc Gerdes padded the Ironmen lead on a rebound goal that beat Jets goalie Tony Kujava. Jeff Mc-

Farland extended the Ironmen lead just 37 seconds later with a power play goal that had Jets coach Dane Litke thinking about making a goalie switch. The Jets seemed to take control after spotting Jamestown a 3-0 lead and that allowed Kujava time to settle down from the three quick markers. The turning point of the game could have been the Darren McCormick power play goal with 3:44 left in the first period. It allowed the Jets to gain some momentum and head to the locker room trailing by only two at 3-1. After a scoreless second period, the Ironmen seemed content to try to hold on to their two goal third period lead. Darren McCormick scored his second of the game to cut the Ironmen lead to 3-2 with still over 15 minutes left in regulation. Jamestown did a great job of holding the Jets off the board

Brady Leads Prolific Patriots To AFC Title Game

By Howard Ulman Associated Press

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Next up to try and stop the seemingly unstoppable Tom Brady and the New England Patriots' offense: the Baltimore Ravens. Good luck. How do you cover powerful Rob Gronkowski and versatile Aaron Hernandez and still have a defender left to deal with Wes Welker, the NFL's leading receiver? Can you generate enough of a pass rush to foil Brady's quick release? If you don't, the master of analyzing defenses and firing precise passes can stand comfortably in the pocket, calmly searching for his best option and the quickest route to the end zone. And don't forget the ground game while you're focused on all those aerial stars. Get ready, Ray Lewis and Terrell Suggs. Your dominant defense is about to get its toughest test. Baltimore's reward for beating the Houston Texans 20-13 on Sunday is a date with the prolific Patriots, who got there with a 45-10 win Saturday night over the Denver Broncos that turned Tebowmania into a passing phenomenon while its central character, Tim Tebow, kept passing poorly. The Ravens play at Foxborough on Sunday with a defense much better than the one the overwhelmed Broncos displayed. Baltimore's unit is the third-stingiest in the NFL, but it has never seen anything like this. Not with Brady at the top of his game after his decade of greatness. “The team revolves around him,'' Hernandez said. “When he comes to play, which he mostly does every game, then we're going to be on fire, and when he's ready, we're all ready.'' Brady's performance rivals _and surpasses in some ways _ his 2007 MVP season when he set an NFL record with 50 touchdown passes and established a team mark of 4,806 yards passing. This season, he beat that by more than 400 with 5,235, second-most in NFL history to Drew Brees' 5,476. The Patriots went 18-0 in 2007, then lost the Super Bowl 17-14 to the New York Giants on a last-minute touchdown. Now they're 14-3. One more win gets them to the championship game

thanks to Brady's six scoring passes against Denver, tying the NFL record held by Daryle Lamonica and Steve Young. By halftime, Brady already had thrown for five touchdowns while Tebow had just three completions. The victory helped ease the lingering pain of three straight playoffs losses _ 33-14 to Baltimore and 28-21 to the New York Jets after the Super Bowl disappointment. “You lose a few playoff games and it's a very bitter way to end the season and it sits on your mind for quite a long time,'' Brady said. “For us to come out and play the way we did, have a very solid performance in the most important game of the year is very gratifying. “From this point on, everyone will be focused on what we need to do to be better next week and, hopefully, come out and play for another championship.'' Brady has been brilliant all season, starting with a total of 940 yards passing and seven touchdown throws in his first two games. And in his last nine _ all wins _ he's thrown for 25 scores and just three interceptions. “We never look at the individual. We all try and do our job,'' defensive tackle Vince Wilfork said. “If (Brady) plays well, everyone else plays well. When he has an off day, we try to rally around him as a team to help Tom and the offense. We aren't going to get 20-30

points all the time.'' Of course not. There was that one game, back on Oct. 30, when they scored only 17. Brady's six scoring passes Saturday matched his career high. He completed 26 of 34 passes for 363 yards, a team record for a postseason game. He wasn't sacked, hardly even pressured, all game. “That's Tom, week-in-andweek-out,'' running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis said, “so I don't think anyone else in this locker room or in this country would expect anything else from him.'' It wasn't always that promising. The Patriots were just 5-3 and had lost two consecutive games for just the third time in nine seasons. Their defense, last in the league at the time, was getting pushed around. It was time for Brady's bunch to turn things around. They beat the Jets in New York 37-16 to start the nine-game winning streak. In three of the last four games, they've scored more than 41 points. The only other time that happened since Brady arrived in 2000 was in 2007 when they did it in three consecutive games and four of five. That team had Randy Moss, the deep threat who caught an NFL-record 23 touchdowns. This one has Gronkowski and Hernandez, the short, middle and deep targets who combined for 24 in the regular season and, in just one playoff

game, another four. “These two are changing the game,'' guard Brian Waters said. “If you decide to take away one, that opens things up for the other. You add the fact that we have receiving threats and some good guys at the running back position. It limits the things you can do defensively as far as trying to take one person out of the game. That's something that we are able to take advantage of.'' The danger doesn't end when they get their hands on the ball. Often, it's just starting. On the Patriots third play against the Broncos, Gronkowski caught a 7-yard pass and ran for another nine. On the fourth, Hernandez tricked the defense by lining up at running back and rambling 43 yards. And on the next play, Brady found Welker for a 7-yard touchdown pass. Three plays, three ballhandlers, one impressive drive against a befuddled defense. “Everybody makes big plays on this team,'' Hernandez said. “That's why our offense is real dangerous. We've got so many weapons they don't know who to cover.'' The Ravens have a week to figure that out. “I think that we are just coming together as a team and realizing that this is our time and we need to really play well,'' Welker said. “With all of our weapons and the guys that we have, we should always be able to move the ball.''

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Former Penn State coach Joe Paterno says he “didn't know which way to go'' after an assistant coach came to him in 2002 saying he had seen retired defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky sexually abusing a boy. In his first public comments since being fired two months ago, Paterno told The Washington Post that assistant Mike McQueary “didn't want to get specific'' about details in his 2002 allegation involving Sandusky, who he claimed was showering with a boy in the Penn State football facility. The Post reported Saturday that Paterno was hesitant to make follow-up calls because he didn't want to be seen as trying to exert influence either for or against Sandusky. “I didn't know which way to go ... And rather than get in there and make a mistake,'' he told the Post before trailing off. A day after he heard McQueary's allegation, Paterno

reported it to his superiors. Paterno said he previously had “no inkling'' Sandusky might be a child molester. Sandusky was criminally charged on Nov. 5 and faces dozens of counts. Paterno was ousted four days later after 46 years as head coach. Paterno, 85, also is fighting lung cancer that was diagnosed days after his dismissal. He was re-admitted to the hospital Friday for observation for what his family called a minor complication from treatments. He has been undergoing chemotherapy and radiation. His condition improved Saturday morning, and he remained in the hospital, the family said. The Post portrayed Paterno as frail from the cancer treatments and wearing a wig. Also recovering from a broken pelvis, Paterno spoke Thursday from a wheelchair at kitchen table. He said he was initially reluctant to speak because “I wanted everybody to settle down,'' but the Post reported Paterno was so eager to defend his record that he insisted on

"I knew we were going to beat them on Wednesday, to be honest with you," running back Brandon Jacobs said. The win came four years after the Giants beat a Brett Favreled Packers team in the NFC title game. It wasn't nearly as frigid this time around, and the Packers' vulnerable defense seemed to be waiting to get sliced up. Manning found six different receivers against a porous Packers defense. But Manning did the most damage with his throws to Nicks, who caught seven passes for 165 yards and two touchdowns. Nicks' biggest play was a 66-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter. His score at the end of the half came on a 37-yard pass into the end zone with defenders all around. "It was a big momentum play for them, but we were not deflated as a football team," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. The Giants' defense also was able to defuse the big-play abilities of Aaron Rodgers and the Packers' offense. Rodgers was 26 of 46 for 264 yards, with two touchdowns and an interception. He also was the Packers' leading rusher with 66 yards on seven carries. The Packers fully expected to go back to the Super Bowl, but the reality hit Rodgers quickly. "Oh, it's real," Rodgers said. "We got beat by a team that played better tonight. "We play to win championships. You win a championship and you're kind of at the top of the mountain, and you forget kind of how bad this feeling is. We had a championship-caliber regular season and didn't play well today." The Packers' past problems with dropped balls by their talented group of wide receivers returned at the worst time imaginable. And while the Packers' defense has been vulnerable all season, giving up far too many yards and big plays, they've typically made up for it by forcing turnovers. This time, the Packers were the ones giving the ball away. Green Bay lost three fumbles, including one on a rare giveaway by Rodgers. The Giants also sacked Rodgers four times. With the Packers trailing 20-10 at halftime but finally beginning to look like them-

GREEN BAY, Wis. — With their own star quarterback and a dominating defense, the New York Giants exposed the Green Bay Packers for what they now are — former Super Bowl champions. The Packers dropped passes, fumbled the ball and simply couldn't stop Eli Manning and his receivers in the Giants' shocking 37-20 divisional playoff victory Sunday. To the Giants' delight, a Green Bay team that had a real shot at an undefeated season less than a month ago is heading home. And that the win came at Lambeau Field, well, that was just as sweet. The site has become a familiar launching pad for the New Yorkers. After beating the Packers (15-2) at home for the second time in four years, they only hope this trip ends the same way — in the NFL title game. The Giants will play the 49ers in San Francisco for the NFC Championship next Sunday. "I think we're a dangerous team," Giants coach Tom Coughlin said. "I like where we are and how we're playing."

Red Wings Dismantle Sabres, Road Losing Streak Hits 9 Contributed Article Associated Press

DETROIT — Home ice has never been more of an advantage to the Red Wings than it has over the last 2½ months. Jimmy Howard and Henrik Zetterberg led Detroit to its 15th straight victory at home, breaking a franchise record set in 1965 with a 5-0 victory against the Buffalo Sabres on Monday. The Red Wings have the longest single-season winning streak by an NHL team at home since 1976 when Philadelphia won 20 in a row to match a league mark set by Boston during the 1929-30 season, according to STATS, LLC. Detroit is 18-2-1 overall at home — where it hasn't lost since Nov. 3, 2011 — after posting a lackluster 21-14-6 mark in the Motor City last season. Howard said the team could only enjoy the feat until boarding a plane later in the night. "We have to start thinking about Dallas," Howard said after making 27 saves for his fifth shutout and NHL-high 27th victory. "We haven't done as well as we want on the road." The Red Wings, who are 11-13 on the road, play at Dallas on Tuesday night and visit Phoenix before returning home to play Columbus on Saturday. Detroit, though, has been very tough to beat in Joe Louis Arena this season. "We got booed sometimes last season here and that was pretty embarrassing," Red Wings forward Drew Miller said. "We've really made playing at home better one of our goals this season and so far, so good." Zetterberg scored the first of Detroit's three goals

in the opening period, Todd Bertuzzi had a goal and two assists and Pavel Datsyuk set up three straight scores to give him 700 career points. "It's tough playing catch-up hockey in this league," Howard said. The Sabres have lost a franchise-record nine straight road games in regulation and Ryan Miller doesn't think a magical move from the front office could make a difference. "There's not ever going to be a trade in the history of the NHL that's going to change something like this," Miller said.

High-priced Sabres Among NHL's Top Flops By John Wawrow Associated Press

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Forward Drew Stafford sits at his stall in the Buffalo Sabres' envyn of-the-NHL extravagantly renoat vated locker room, attempting a to keep his frustrations in check one and hopes buoyed. It's not lost on Stafford in ay the midst of these spareno-expenses surroundings " — the fine hardwood panelrthy ing, glossy pictures, cushy lounge, high-tech gadgetry as and players with lucrative long-term contracts, includand ing his own — that the Sabres haven't come close to fulfilling their end of the Stanley Cup64 contending dream new owner ns Terry Pegula laid out when he o took over 11 months ago. ven “You're definitely disappointed. There's some frustration in here,'' Stafford said. “With all to the changes, new players, new but locker room, new ownership, kly. all the new stuff, there's going . to be high expectations. And t when that doesn't work out the right way, it's tough.'' For all the money spent — the - $6-plus-million Pegula paid to he upgrade the players' area was ou nothing compared to the nearly $140 million he committed i- to contracts this offseason — on there have been minimal results, leaving little joy in a town that's affectionately redubbed itself “Pegulaville.'' iv- “We're staying positive. We me have hope and we have belief,'' Stafford said. “We're not sitting in here thinking that the season's all slipping away.'' Not yet anyway, any but time is running out. In passing the midpoint of their season, the Sabres, as they nudge up against the NHL salary-cap, have been among ay. the league's biggest flops. es, Buffalo's 18-19-5 record e- entering this weekend might ts be exactly the same as it was a year ago before the team went on a second-half surge to secure seventh place on the final weekend of the season. y And yet there have been few m- signs to indicate this squad is capable of duplicating that run.

Since a 10-5 start, the Sabres hadn't won consecutive games. After hosting Toronto on Friday, the Sabres play their next seven on the road, where they've lost seven straight in regulation to match a franchise-worst skid. Their star goalie, Ryan Miller, acknowledges he's having difficulty finding his swagger. “It's tough when things aren't going your way to keep believing that it's going to go your way,'' Miller said. “I know so far this season it probably hasn't been quite the level I need to be. But I don't feel I'm too far off.'' When it's not goaltending, it's the offense, which has suddenly dried up, having scored two or more goals just five times during a recent 2-6-2 stretch. And their troubles have been compounded by a rash of injuries. Buffalo's had 18 players miss at least one game due to injury. That includes Miller missing nine games with whiplash/concussion, and star defenseman Tyler Myers missing 19 games with a broken wrist. Things became so bad that leading goal scorer Thomas Vanek was limited to playing the first period of a 2-0 loss at Toronto on Tuesday because of an upset stomach that's likely related to food poisoning. “It adds to the list of shake your head,'' coach Lindy Ruff said of Vanek's illness. Ruff hasn't been immune from criticism. In his 14th season in Buffalo and the Sabres winningest coach, he's facing questions of whether his message has grown stale. “I'm doing good, thanks for asking,'' Ruff said, when asked how he's holding up. “I stopped and got a coffee this morning on the way to the rink.'' At least he's not lost his sense of humor. “My job is to keep these guys up,'' Ruff said. “There's a certain level of frustration that you can see walking in the room.'' Pegula defended his team — and Ruff — by blaming the struggles on injuries. “I hate to use injuries as a crutch, but they've been so wide-spread and so numer-

ous, there's no way you can evaluate our team. It would be crazy to do it,'' Pegula said. “I think we'll get Humpty back together here by the all-star break and we'll have our Sabres back the way they were designed to be at the beginning of the season.'' This is still not what anyone signed up for after the Sabres spent the offseason pulling off a series of bold moves. It began during a weeklong stretch in late June, when Buffalo acquired veteran defensemen Robyn Regehr and Christian Ehrhoff in trades, and then landed forward Ville Leino in free agency. Those high hopes have come crashing down with a fan base that's grown anxious. “Well, you had a reasonable expectation for the playoffs, but that's looking like a pipe dream,'' said John Lewandowski. “Fans are starting to turn,'' Lewandowski said. “We're wondering when (Pegula) is going to do something, and why he hasn't stepped up to do something.'' Even worse, some fans are questioning the team's passion. “The only time we saw this team have heart is when the veterans were injured and the young guys were up,'' Chad Thomson said. “I wouldn't mind them dumping some of the veterans.'' General manager Darcy Regier can appreciate fans' concerns in light of the high hopes in September. “I think the great thing that Terry brought are the expectations,'' Regier said. “We're all cognizant of it, we're all working with it, and we're trying to live up to them.'' That doesn't mean he's going to act rashly. Based on current trade talks, Regier said the marketplace for making a deal isn't yet established. He noted it's also been difficult to evaluate the Sabres immediate needs due to the number of injuries. “I actually am more focused on where we're going than where we are. Where we've been is obvious,'' Regier said. “The first half has been disappointing.''

The standout goaltender was benched early in the second after giving up goals to Zetterberg, Bertuzzi, Johan Franzen, Nicklas Lidstrom and Darren Helm. Drew Miller made a cross-ice pass that left his brother, Ryan, out of position to stop Helm's shot and ended his night. "It's tough — I never want to see him get pulled like that," Drew Miller said. "He didn't have a chance on that goal or a couple others, but he's still one of the best goalies in the league." The Millers grew up in East Lansing, Mich.,

and played at Michigan State. "It's embarrassing," Ryan Miller said. "I got family and friends and everybody coming to watch Drew and I play. They watched Drew perform." On Detroit's second shot, Zetterberg got the puck past Miller and ended his 13-game, goalscoring drought. Howard stopped a flurry of shots late in the opening period, including Drew Stafford's shot that went off his mask, and responded well to one of the rare offensive surges from Buffalo. Howard was handed a three-goal cushion when Franzen and Lidstrom scored in a 1:32 span off assists from Datsyuk. "It had to be deflating for them because we hadn't done much," Detroit coach Mike Babcock said. Early in the second, Datsyuk snatched the puck away from defenseman Mike Weber behind the net and got the puck to Bertuzzi, who had enough time in front of the net to do a spin move and shot the puck past Miller. Helm scored 13 second later to chase Miller, who gave up five goals on 14 shots, and put Jhonas Enroth in net. Since Buffalo's last road win on Dec. 3, 2011, at Nashville, the Sabres are 5-10-4 overall and have slumped to a sub-.500 record overall. Buffalo has had 20 players miss games with injuries this season and just four players who started the season with the team have avoided being scratched because of an injury. The Sabres will attempt to stop their losing streak on the road Wednesday night at Chicago in the third of a seven-game road trip. "We've got to wake up," Buffalo forward Jason Pominville said.

Contributed Article Fredonia Sports Information

FREDONIA, N.Y. — Bryan Ross scored midway through overtime as Fredonia State upset No. 6 Neumann, 3-2, Saturday at the Steele Hall Ice Arena. Ross caught an airborne puck chipped out from behind the net, dropped the puck, and fired over the top of the Neumann goaltender from the righ circle. It was his eighth goal of the season and his third point of the game. Mat Hehr and Mike Muhs picked up assists. Fredonia State goaltender Mark Friesen made 37 saves, including two key stops during a Neumann 5-on-3 advantage during the second period. The Blue Devils took 26 shots. Neumann goaltender Ross MacKinnon was credited with 23 saves. Fredonia State improved to 7-6-3. Neumann fell to 12-4-0. They entered the game on an

eight-game winning streak. Both teams had power-play goals in the first period, and went scoreless in the second period. The Blue Devils took a 1-0 lead on Stephen Castriota's sixth goal fo the season at 13:26 of the first period. Castriota scored off a rebound of a rising shot by Bryan Ross, which deflected off MacKinnon. Jared Wynia was also credited with an assist. The Knights drew even just under four minutes later when Marlon Gardner whistled a slapshot from the right circle into the upper left corner. Steve Gravais and Jordan Zalba picked up the assists. The highlight of a the second period was Fredonia State killing off two consecutive penalties, including 1:06 being two men down. Friesen made a sprawling save, followed by a glove save to keep the Knights from taking the lead. Each team scored in the third

period. Muhs put the Blue Devils back on top, 2-1, with a powerplay goal at 4:59. Stationed near the crease to the left of MacKinnon, Muhs chipped in a crossing pass for his fourth goal of the season. Ross and Brian Doust assisted. Neumann's Steve Gervais forged a 2-2 tie with a shot from the right circle that deflected off Friesen and into the net at the 14:04 mark. Gardner and Scott Farrell were credited with assists. The Blue Devils nearly regained the lead on a shot by Muhs during a 3-on-2 rush with two minutes left. The puck clanged off the left post. Earlier in the period, Fredonia State's Ben Waldman hit a post. The Blue Devils close out the rest of the regular season with the second round of eight games against SUNYAC opponents. The string starts when Brockport visits Steele Hall next Friday, followed by a Saturday night home game vs. Geneseo.

BROCKPORT, N.Y. — Brockport built a large lead in the first half on blistering outside shooting connecting on 17 of its first 21 shots, then held off Fredonia State in the second half for a 79-64 victory. The Golden Eagles built a 53-31 halftime lead. Fredonia State would go on to outscore Brockport 33-26 in the second half. The loss dropped the Devils to 7-6 overall and 2-5 in the SUNYAC. Amir Billups led the way with 16 points, including connecting on 4-of-5 from beyond the arc. Kevin Mitchell added 15 points and five assists. Julius Bryant finished with 13 points and seven rebounds. For the Golden Eagles (5-7 overall, 3-2 SUNYAC), John Ivy led a balanced attack with 16 points. Four other players also scored in double figures. The Golden Eagles never trailed in the game as the team exploded offensively in the first half. Fredonia tied the game at 8-8 just over four minutes into the game, but from there Brockport took control. Ivy scored the next basket as the Golden Eagles erupted for a 25-0 run. Brockport was coming of a 94-70 win Friday over No. 21

ranked Buffalo State. The night before, the men's team played another tight game, and came away with a 68-67 victory over Geneseo as Mitchell hit the game-winning free throw with a fraction of a second left. Geneseo had just tied the game with a pair of free throws with nine seconds left. The Devils then turned the ball over, only to have Dalton Kashmer steal it right back. Kashmer attempted a layup and Mitchell grabbed the miss. Mitchell was then fouled and sent to the line for the game winner. There were several lead changes in the closing minutes. With the Devils up 64-63, Geneseo's Ryan Riefenhausen converted a layup at 1:17 to give Geneseo a 65-64 lead. Fredonia State marched down the court and regained the lead following a layup by Mitchell with 55 seconds left to play. After a Geneseo timeout, the Devils' Damien Goodwin II stole the ball with 20 seconds left and was immediately fouled. Goodwin missed the first free throw, and converted the second to give the Devils a 67-65 edge. Following a foul on their next possession, Geneseo's Connor Fedge took his turn on the line, converting both to tie the game, 67-all. On the ensuing possession,

DEC Reminds Anglers Of New Ice Fishing Regulations Contributed Article Department of Environmental Conservation

In waters where ice fishing is permitted, anglers will be allowed to use up to three lines and five tip-ups except as noted in special regulations for specific waters. Previously, ice anglers could only use two lines with five tip-ups. "Ice fishing provides a great opportunity for people to get outdoors during the long winter months," said DEC Assistant Commissioner for

Natural Resources Kathy Moser. "According to a recent DEC survey, ice fishing participation has doubled over the past 10 years." The use of fish for bait is very popular when ice fishing, and bait fish may be used in most but not all waters that are open to ice fishing. See DEC's website for a list of special regulations by county to find out where bait fish can and

cannot be used Anglers are reminded to take these important steps when ice fishing: • Follow the bait fish regulations to prevent the spread of harmful fish diseases and invasive species. • Use only certified diseasefree bait fish purchased at a local tackle store or use only personally collected bait fish

for use in the same waterbody in which they were caught. • Check for sufficient ice thickness before venturing onto the ice. A minimum of three to four inches of solid ice is usually safe for anglers on foot. However, ice thickness varies on every body of water and anglers should be particularly wary of areas of moving water and around boat docks/

houses where "bubblers" may be installed to reduce ice buildup. DEC cautions that the presence of snowmobile tracks or footprints on the ice should not be taken as evidence of safe ice conditions. Individuals are strongly encouraged to check ice conditions for themselves and avoid situations that appear to present even a remote risk.

wise to plan for the worst. A spud for testing the ice before you step on it is a must. It is also important to have some gear for self-rescue in case you do go in. I always carry life spikes, which are metal spikes with a handle on them. These are used to claw and crawl your way back on top of the ice after you fall in. I have carried them for years and never had to use them but I wouldn’t dream of leaving home without them. I usually carry some rope and a way to secure one end of the rope to pull against. Most fishermen haul their gear in a sled, this is not just for the convenience it also takes the extra weight off of your feet. Spreading the weight of you

and your gear out as much as possible will make you less likely to break through. You should also take the fact that you could end up wet into consideration when choosing what clothes to wear. Some of my friends wear special coldwater survival suits, they look like a regular large snowsuit, but these are made to help you survive an icy plunge. The most important thing to remember to stay safe is to never go out alone. No fish diner is worth losing your life for. I predict that we will see Chautauqua Lake freeze up enough for the fishermen. However I’m not very confident it will stay that way for very long if the weather continues to fluctuate.

Some helpful items that you should consider include neoprene waders, ice cleats for boot soles, a walking stick/pole and a fishing companion whenever possible. Lake Erie Harbors Dunkirk Harbor can be fished throughout the winter as a warm water discharge at the power plant keeps the harbor ice-free. Anglers have been catching brown trout from the DEC fishing platform near the warm water discharge. Anglers can also fish for trout from the city pier.

There is no safe ice to report in western New York. Before you head out onto the ice this winter, remember that a minimum of 3 to 4 inches of solid ice is the general rule for safety.

All of our local fishing waters with exception of Lake Erie have begun to freeze up. Ice thick enough to fish on is not as far off as I thought it was a week ago. I heard about one guy who was able to walk on the ice near long point on Chautauqua Lake. He decided that the ice needed to be a bit thicker before it would be safe. Officially the experts tell us “no ice is safe ice”. No matter how thick the ice is I don’t like to be the first one to try it.

"With a 10-point lead, we're going to get after you," Umenyiora said. "And that's what we did." But the mistake didn't cost the Packers points, and Green Bay cut the lead to seven points on a 35-yard field goal by Mason Crosby late in the third quarter. The Packers put together another drive early in the fourth quarter, but Michael Boley and Umenyiora combined to sack Rodgers on a fourthdown play in Giants territory.

After carving up the Packers in the first half, the Giants' offense hit a lull in the second half. But they broke out of it to drive for a 35-yard field goal by Lawrence Tynes to take a 23-13 lead with 7:48 left to play. Packers running back Ryan Grant then fumbled after catching a pass and the Giants recovered, taking the ball back deep into Green Bay territory.

In recent weeks, Paterno's dismissal has come under question from many former players and alumni wondering about the motivations of trustees. Others are roiled by a perceived lack of communication by trustees and President Rodney Erickson during a period when the school has promised to be more open and transparent. Many alumni who attended town hall meetings in Pittsburgh, suburban Philadelphia and New York this week questioned why Paterno, after 61 years of service to the school, wasn't afforded due process before his dismissal. Paterno met his legal requirement to report suspected abuse, according to authorities. But two days after Sandusky was charged, state police Commissioner Frank Noonan said Paterno and other school

leaders had a “moral responsibility'' to do more and report allegations to police. With a media storm descending on the campus, Paterno announced his resignation the morning of Nov. 9. That day, he called the scandal “one of the great sorrows of my life. With the benefit of hindsight, I wish I had done more.'' The trustees fired him about 12 hours later. Paterno recounted that he was passed a note at the door of his home by an assistant athletic director with the name of trustees vice chairman John Surma and a phone number. According to the Post, Surma told Paterno, “In the best interests of the university, you are terminated.'' Paterno hung up and repeated the words to his wife, who redialed the number. “After 61 years he deserved better,'' Sue Paterno said. “He deserved better.''

Paterno said he was frustrated that Sandusky was spending too much time at the youth foundation he founded, The Second Mile. Authorities have said Sandusky built relationships with his alleged victims through the charity. Paterno could not recall the last time he had seen or spoken to Sandusky. He declined to offer his opinion on the charges other than saying he would wait for the legal process to unfold. Paterno reminded the Post he is not a victim. “You know, I'm not as concerned about me,'' he said. “What's happened to me has been great. I got five great kids. Seventeen great grandchildren.

This is the ninth position in our series of key swing positions that allow you to match your swing to a pro model to see how it stacks up. The model assumes a right-handed golfer who is hitting a straight shot. The pre-finish position is an indication of what went before it. The guiding theme at this point in the swing is allowing the right shoulder and arm to chase the left. The arms reverse their bend during the swing — at the top, the left arm is straight and the right is folded. At the pre-finish, the left is folded and the right arm is straight. If you screw up your shoulder action, it’s reflected in your pre-finish position. Your trail arm is only so long, and it effectively shortens for the worse when your back shoulder loses pace during the race to impact. Held back by the retarded shoulder,

Weight transfer drives swing

It’s the only piece of your equipment you use on every shot — a golf ball. I’d estimate that only 50 percent of golfers play the proper ball. How much does it really matter? The better you are, the more it matters. Also, the ball becomes more important from 100 yards or less, so unless you desperately need another 10 yards, adapt the ball to your 100-yards-and-in profile. All the major manufacturers make three categories of balls: a low-spin, hard-covered, distance ball; a highspin, soft-covered ball; and a multilayered ball, which maximizes performance with both irons and the driver. Multilayer balls have an additional outer soft cover that provides various spin properties on short shots around the greens. The best way to choose a ball is to analyze your game, then try several types of golf balls to see which one provides the control and spin you need.

Q: When I swing my driver, do my legs move my hips, or do the hips move the legs, in the forward motion? — S.W.

In a sport where you never can tell, I’ll tell you about a twosome of newbies who can’t miss (maybe). In 2012, keep your eye on Jason Kokrak who will become the first great player with three K’s in his last name. He’s about 6 foot 4, 225 pounds, and the K’s must stand for “krank” because he led the Nationwide Tour in driving distance with 319 yards last year. Plus he hits it straight (63 percent of fairways hit). Also on my list is Danny Lee, whom I wrote about two years ago when he passed up millions of dollars in endorsements by remaining an amateur to play in the Walker Cup. He’s already won the Johnny Walker Classic as an amateur on the European Tour, and now, at only 21, he’s set for his rookie year on the big stage. By the way, last year he led the Nationwide Tour in scoring at 68.98.

TRY THIS

For better balance

That’s a startling golf headline that could only be related to … Tiger Woods. The national press has not treated Elin Nordegren, Woods’ ex-wife, very well, and while I made up the headline above, none of the articles I read about the story told the whole truth. All the reports said she tore down a $12.3 million estate she bought with the proceeds of her $100 million divorce settlement, implying that she is newly rich and in the throes of conspicuous consumption. Actually, she bought an 80-year-old house riddled with termites and had no other choice but to tear it down. “The infestation was all over,” said a person who had been in the house. “You could put your fingers right through the wood.” Nordegren gave the non-termite contents of the house to a charity.

Dumb is as dumb does

The more you keep your head centered, the better your balance is through impact. Remember, the head weighs about 10 pounds, and with the body producing 4 horsepower of force, balance is a prized commodity. Annika Sorenstam keeps her head in the middle of her shoulders. All she has to do is keep rotating and she’s in perfect balance.

SCIENCE SAYS

When ignorance is good Studies have proved that your mind cannot attend to two things at once. Golf course architects like Pete Dye know this, so they build very difficult layouts populated with multiple distractions like water, forced carries and railroad ties that drag your attention away from the target you’re trying to hit. “When you get them boys thinking, you got um,” said Dye. He knows that golfers who turn their focus to the trouble lose their lock on the target. And that’s not good in a target game like golf. Even though the golf course is set up with “attention traps” specially designed to misdirect your focus, it is possible to train your brain to ignore the trouble and stay focused on Tour pro Billy Andrade can’t let your target. This is a skill you need to add to the trees and the bunker distract your repertoire if you want to be a good player. him from his target: the fairway.

It never ceases to amaze me how professional golfers take risks with their careers. In 2003, Ernie Els won four of his first five tournaments, then, as he puts it, “managed to injure my wrist when I got a bit over-enthusiastic with a punching bag during one of my training sessions.” A punching bag. Why don’t you just smash your hand with a hammer? Remember Steve Jones? He was at the peak of his career, but wasn’t as lucky as Els. He spent nearly three years off the tour due to ligament and joint damage to his left ring finger suffered in a 1991 dirt bike accident. No. 1 in the “dumb and dumber” hall of fame is Phil Mickelson, throwing 68 mph fastballs during spring training that were coming back to him at 130 mph off the bats of professional baseball players. Luckily, he didn’t tear a rotator cuff or catch a line drive in the fingers. This behavior cries out for common sense. When you hear yourself saying things like, “Here, let me help you with that chainsaw,” it’s time to “get up on your good foot” and make tracks. Despite the growing injury list, there is no limit to the number of players who put themselves at risk every year. Now it’s Paul Casey, who will miss at least the first two months of 2012 after dislocating his right shoulder by crashing his snowboard — downtime that will severely injure his chances to make the Ryder Cup team.

RULES OF GOLF

Penalty strokes add up quickly in hazards Golfers new to the game are often confused about the rules governing what to do about a shot that goes astray into hazards or out of bounds. Here’s what you need to know: Water hazard When your ball lands in a water hazard, you’re not allowed to touch the water with your clubhead until you actually make your downswing. So if you decide to play a hero shot, be sure to hover your club when you take your address position. If you elect not to hit the ball, the procedure is to add a one-stroke penalty and drop your ball according to the rules. To do so, you’ll need to figure out which type of water hazard you’re in. There are two kinds: a regular and a lateral. A regular water hazard is defined by yellow stakes. You can drop your ball any distance behind the hazard on a line that keeps the point where your ball last crossed the hazard between you and the hole.

A lateral water hazard is marked by red stakes. Although the rules allow several options, the most common is to drop your ball within two club lengths of where the ball last crossed the margin of the hazard, no nearer the hole. Out of bounds Since the founders of the game want you to keep the ball on the playing field, there’s a penalty for leaving it. Otherwise golfers would be playing out of backyards, parking lots and wildlife preserves. Can you imagine how long it would take to play a round of golf if there were no out-of-bounds? You’d have courses the size of New Jersey. Anyway, OB is marked by white stakes or other perimeter markings like fences. Under the rules, you replay from the place where you originally hit the ball and add a one-stroke penalty to your score. You’d follow the same procedure for a lost ball. Remember this little ditty: OB, re-tee, hit three.

GOLF SPOKEN HERE

Casual water Because this is a regular water hazard, you don’t have the two-club-length option, so unless there is a drop area, you might as well re-tee and try it again if your first shot gets wet.

Distributed by Universal Uclick. (800) 255-6734. *For release the week of January 9, 2012.

Any temporary puddles of water on the course that are not supposed to be there, like after a rainstorm. There is no penalty for moving a ball out of casual water.

Syfy series gives BBC hit an American accent By Kyla Brewer TV Media

onsters are invading prime time, and viewers are eating it up. Supernatural creatures have been a staple of television for years, but the latest trend doesn’t portray them as frightful beings to be feared. They fall in love, feel pain and have meaningful friendships. In the Syfy series “Being Human,” a ghost, a vampire and a werewolf rely on each other while living together as roommates. The premise may sound like the

beginning of a bad joke, but the show has actually proven quite popular since its premiere in January 2011. Boasting a young, talented cast, “Being Human” mixes elements of drama and comedy as the supernaturals try to evade detection while navigating their way through the human world. Season 2 of “Being Human” premiered last week, but viewers can catch the continuing story Monday nights on Syfy. Produced by Montreal’s Muse Entertainment, Syfy’s program is actually based on a British series of the same name that has been a huge

success across the pond for years. While its premise and characters are similar, Syfy’s version is not a direct re-hash of the U.K. hit. The first season did follow some plot lines from the original, but the show’s North American writers and actors claim they haven’t watched the second season of the Brit series. In the U.S. adaptation, Sam Witwer stars as Aidan McCollin, a vampire who works as a nurse at a hospital in Boston. Sam Huntington portrays McCollin’s roommate Josh Radcliff, a Jewish werewolf who works as an orderly in the same hospital. Meaghan Rath rounds out the cast as Sally, a ghost who haunts the house where Aidan and Josh live. A year after its debut, the return of “Being Human” is creating buzz in the blogosphere as anxious fans await Aidan, Josh and Sally’s new adventures. With an average of almost two million viewers per episode in Season 1, Syfy is throwing its faith in Season 2 with a huge promotion that began in Sin City on New Year’s Eve. The “Temptation is a Beast” campaign encouraged Las Vegas partygoers to give in to their temptations while promoting the season premiere with in-room advertisements, themed drink menus and even a “Being Human” travel package that offered VIP access to hotel entertainment experiences.

Look no further: 'Bones' spinoff sure to find solid footing By Dee Wright TV Media

ow many times have you searched the whole house looking for your keys? Wallets, cash, toys, shoes — so much of our lives is spent looking for things that we have lost. We need Walter Sherman. Sherman (Geoff Stults) has an innate ability to track down anything that has been misplaced. He uses seemingly irrelevant details, combined with even the most vague memory, to help his clients find anything — ranging from lucky socks to dead bodies. “The Finder” airs Thursdays on Fox. The series technically premiered last week, but the characters were introduced in a late-season episode of “Bones” last spring. Known as a back-door pilot, networks put new characters and plot lines into a series that already has an established fan-base, hoping to draw the same crowd. It has proven to be a successful tool in the past, since it’s the same way that both of the “CSI” spinoffs were launched. ABC’s “Private Practice” was also the product of a backdoor pilot, though it took a current character into a different setting with new characters. Back in April, “Bones” fans met Sherman when he was consulted to help Booth (David Boreanaz) and Brennan (Emily Deschanel) track a killer. Booth and Sherman served together in Iraq, and Sherman was left with brain damage that gave him his location abilities. While Booth is irritated by Sherman’s odd questions and weird observations, Brennan is intrigued by his unusual way to solve crimes. When they solved the crime, Bones

The cast of “The Finder” and Booth went back to Washington, D.C., and left Sherman to his own devices in Florida. The only person keeping Sherman out of trouble is his legal adviser, Leo Knox. Knox (Michael Clarke Duncan) follows Sherman as he’s doing his thing, only chiming in when he sees Sherman about to break a law or infringe on someone’s rights. Unfortunately, he can’t force Sherman to listen to him, and he is often the only one who can help Sherman dig himself out of a problem. The female lead in “The Finder” belongs to Mercedes Masohn, who plays U.S. Deputy Marshal Isabel Zambada. This is a new character from the “Bones” episode that aired in the spring. The pilot instead featured a bartender named Ike (Saffron Burrows), who provided most of the comic relief for the episode. Burrows has since been replaced by Masohn, whose straight-talking, by-the-book attitude is sure to get in the way of

Sherman’s unorthodox methods. Last week’s premiere got the series off to a good start, especially for those who like to keep an eye out for guest stars. John Fogerty of Creedence Clearwater Revival guest starred as himself, and Brett Davern (MTV’s “Awkward”) played a key role. Davern’s character recruits Sherman to help him find his father, who has gone missing in Iraq. Meanwhile, Leo worries about his new hire at his bar — a teenager who must serve community service instead of going to a detention center, and she seems more interested in the alcohol than doing her job. Stults, who plays Sherman, has had trouble getting a stable role on television. He’s had several major roles, but the series were all canceled before they could really take off. “October Road” had two seasons, and despite its unique premise, “Happy Town” only had eight episodes. Hopefully, Stults is looking at a solid following with

In his role in “The Green Mile” (1999), camera tricks made him look much taller than he actually is — he is really only a few inches taller than co-star Tom Hanks. Duncan also starred in “The Whole Nine Yards” (2000), “The Scorpion King” (2002) and “Green

Lantern” (2011), in which he provided the voice for Green Lantern Kilowog. Duncan has made several appearances on the small screen as well, including “Chuck,” “Two and a Half Men” and “CSI: NY.” Masohn is a relatively unknown name — for now. She has had small roles on “The Closer,” “NCIS” and “Castle,” as well as minor parts in “The Break-Up” (2006) and “All Signs of Death” in 2010.

StarsonScreen By Sheila Busteed TV Media WINTER WONDERLANDS: Actor Alec Baldwin’s new best friends are the polar bear and its assorted snowy neighbors. The “30 Rock” star is lending his pipes to the next great cinematic feat from Discovery and BBC. The makers of “Planet Earth” will premiere the new seven-part series “Frozen Planet” on Sunday, March 18, with a two-hour special. As the series’ narrator, Baldwin will guide viewers through exquisite footage of the poles, exploring the land and sea of the extreme northern and southern regions of the planet and introducing them to the daring creatures who call these areas home. Filmmakers shot the stunning natural-history series in high definition, spending a record 2,356 days in the field in the most remote regions of the Arctic and Antarctic circles. But footage isn’t limited to the frozen land masses; they also spent six months of that time at sea and even filmed 134 hours beneath the icy surface to tell the stories of the polar oceans. The footage is so rare that viewers may first hesitate to believe their eyes. These

cameramen captured the birth of a gigantic iceberg, reveal the growth of a salt-water icicle, introduce a caterpillar with antifreeze in its veins and expose the hunting strategies of orca whales as they use teamwork to produce waves that push seals off the ice. “Frozen Planet” will also include a special “making of” feature, documenting the team’s efforts to collect such unique images. As in the past, each episode will also address certain themes, such as the power of the weather and the adaptive abilities of the poles’ animal and human inhabitants. Finally, British naturalist David Attenborough will host the last episode and discuss the impact of rising temperatures on the polar regions and the planet as a whole. Viewers can log on to

lywood stars have lined up to get knocked out. A&E recently released the list of actors who have signed on for roles in the upcoming miniseries “Coma,” which is currently in production and scheduled to premiere on the network on Memorial Day. The medical thriller, from executive producers Ridley and Tony Scott, will feature Richard Dreyfuss, Ellen Burstyn, Geena Davis, James Woods, Lauren Ambrose and Steven Pasquale. The Scott brothers are living legends in the industry. Under their banner of Scott Free Productions, they’ve been behind such smallscreen success stories as “The Good Wife,” “Numb3rs,” the 2010 miniseries “The Pillars of the Earth” and the 2008 miniseries “The Andromeda Strain.” The on-screen stars have seen equal amounts of success through the years.

than four decades ago when he starred in “American Graffiti” (1973). Since then, he’s appeared in “Jaws” (1975), “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” (1977), “Stand By Me” (1986) and “Mr. Holland’s Opus” (1995). Burstyn’s acting career stretches back to the late ‘50s, but her relevance certainly hasn’t dwindled with time. Recently, she’s had roles in “W.” (2008), “The Fountain” (2006) and the hit HBO series “Big Love.” She received an Oscar nomination for her role as the mother in “The Exorcist” (1973). Davis was an ‘80s and ‘90s screen queen, with starring roles in “The Fly” (1986), “Beetlejuice”

(1988), “Thelma & Louise” (1991) and “A League of Their Own” (1992). Woods is often the butt of jokes while playing the cartoon version of himself on “Family Guy.” He has done well on TV and in film, but he’s probably best known for his leading role in CBS’s “Shark.” Ambrose is often remembered as the girl who got locked in the bathroom in “Can’t Hardly Wait” (1998), but she’s also starred in “Torchwood” and “Six Feet Under.” Pasquale may have the least experience, but he’s done well so far with roles in “Rescue Me” and “Six Feet Under.”

Turning up the Heat: Miami starting the season strong By Joel Duplessis TV Media

on’t look now, but the team everyone loved to hate last year could be gearing up for a championship run. We’re just a month into the NBA season, but it’s already becoming clear that the Miami Heat are determined to avenge their defeat during last June’s finals. Miami’s early-season success can be attributed not only to LeBron James and Dwyane Wade but also to the strong play of Chris Bosh and Mario Chalmers. The Heat’s Dream Team moniker gained notoriety last season; however, it might be a more appropriate title for the team’s 2012 edition. When the Heat added James and Bosh to a lineup that included a generational talent in Wade, the question wasn’t if but how many championships they would win. After a difficult start to last season and then subsequently losing in the Finals, the hype to start this season was noticeably subdued. That suited the Heat just fine as they’ve hit the floor running this year, rolling off win after win – without relying solely on James and Wade. A catalyst for Miami’s strong showing this season has been the steady play of Chris Bosh. Last season, Bosh was overshadowed by his megastar teammates and was often criticized for not playing with enough heart. So far this season Bosh has used his 6-foot-11, 235-pound frame to his advantage in the post, helping his team win some big games without James and Wade in the lineup. If Bosh continues to play at such a high level, this team could be nearly unstoppable when the playoffs roll around. The difference in this year’s team is that James and Wade are more familiar playing with each other and the Heat bench is deeper than it was last season. Rookie Norris Cole and veteran Shane Battier provide the secondary scoring that’s essential in playoff games. (62) VS NHL Live! (Live) (0:30)
