Why you Won’t be the person you expect to be By Patricia Pihl Managing Editor

Just as I was complaining about the trivial posts on Facebook, I stumbled upon a link to a New York Times article entitled “Why You Won’t Be the Person You Expect to Be.” Running the beginning of the year, the material is clearly fodder for folks who resolve to change as well as those who use the holiday to reflect on the past. continueD on pG 2

Gallery Director Recounts pop artist’s Jamestown connection, controversy Andy WArhoL: AcQuisitions And JAmestoWn nexus: Feb. 2-mAr. 21 At Jcc

By Patricia Pihl Managing Editor

The screening of Andy Warhol’s ‘experimental’ fi lm in Jamestown on Jan. 18, 1968 shocked many in the audience that night and created a flurry of controversy. The hour long-fi lm, which “fl ickered and jerked and showed semi nude models,” was considered “vulgar, hideous and foul matter,” according to JCC founder and trustee Sarita Weeks. Adding insult to injury, he spoke few words that night to an audience gathered to hear him speak. The Community Debates Andy Warhol The ensuing controversy and war of words included a public banter of 26 newspaper editorials for and against the burgeoning pop artist’s work, and according to Week’s Gallery Director, James Colby provided a glimpse into the multiplicity of the Jamestown community. “What is so interesting to me about this whole thing is how it represents the diversity of Jamestown,” said Colby as he prepared for the event, entitled Andy Warhol: Acquisitions and Jamestown Nexus, which opens

James D. Colby, Director of Exhibitions and Galleries at Jamestown Community College, points out Warhol’s Marilyn Monroe screen print and two panels that include 26 newspaper editorials discussing Warhol’s 1968 film screening at JCC. This represents a small portion of works included in the upcoming ArtHappening.

on February 2 at JCC. The exhibit will include original artworks, artifacts, fi lms and digital projections, which explain Warhol’s career, and the pop artist’s Jamestown connections and controversy. Works and images are on loan from the Andy Warhol Museum and Andy Warhol Foundation.

tions of Dr. Robert Hagstrom, former cultural events committee member at the college. Concerning the conservative versus progressive viewpoints, Colby says, “To me it was a model of disagreeing but still getting along.” Lois Strickler, who would move to Jamestown after meeting the budding artist at Carnegie Tech in Pittsburgh, collected many articles about Warhol. Those items, donated by Strickler and other sources will be digitally projected for the exhibit, to highlight points in the famous pop artist’s career. The Jamestown connection was put on center stage when Robert Scharmann and JCC’s cultural events committee invited Warhol to screen fi lms and speak. Dr. Hagstrom would say “The committee was not a conservative think tank…He (Warhol) was a controversial artist… so we invited him.” Colby states, “So, we have someone that took the conservative approach, like Sarita. She has contributed a ton to the college, why would we ever want to disconnect from her?”

The Day Andy Warhol Came to Jamestown Viewers will be able to see archives of those searing editorials, as well as a copy of the Jan. 2011 article from WORD magazine entitled, “The Day Andy Warhol Came to Jamestown,” which is a first hand account of events of that night according to the reflec- continueD on pG 8

the Girl scouts “buiLdinG courAGe, conFidence And chArActer”

By Mallory Diefenbach Star Contributing Writer

If somebody were to mention the Girl Scouts, no doubt the first thing on people’s minds would be the Girl Scout cookies, which the organization sells as a fundraiser. However, what many people tend to forget is the Girl Scouts is an organization which allows girls to grow and bloom into mature, confident young women. “Our overall mission is to help girls build courage, confidence and character, who make the world a better place,” said Cindy Owan, the CEO of the Girl Scouts of Western New York. The Girl Scouts is a hundred years old, celebrating its 100th year anniversary last year on March 12, 1912. Juliette Gordon Low created the first Girl Scout troop in Savannah, Ga. to help girls have leadership roles. continueD on pG 3

commentAry, continued From pG. 1 The author states “We know how much our personalities and tastes have changed over the years. But when we look ahead, somehow we expect ourselves to stay the same.” The phenomenon is called “the end of history illusion,” in which people tend to underestimate how much they will change in the future. According to the research which involved 19,000 people, aged 18 to 68, the “illusion persists from teenage years into retirement.” While we look back on our teenage selves with amusement and chagrin, the article states, “What we never seem to realize is that our future selves will look back and think the very same thing about us. At every age, we think we’re having the last laugh, and at every age we’re wrong.” Note: I have never been one to be taken in by what is commonly referred to as “psychobabble,” but the idea intrigued me because it seemed to mirror my own perceptions and life experience. Participants in the study were asked to think about their favorite foods, vacations, hobbies and bands in the last decade, and all reported changes. However, when asked to predict what their personalities and tastes would be like in 10 years, people of all ages “consistently played down the potential changes

ahead.” Put another check in the agree column. So why does this happen? Two of the researchers had a few theories, “starting with the well-documented tendency of people to overestimate their own wonderfulness.” All right then, so far I’ve discovered that I’m deluded and hedonistic! “Believing that we just reached the peak of our personal evolution makes us feel good,” say researchers, whereas “realizing how transient our preferences and values are might lead us to doubt every decision and generate anxiety.” Or how about the explanation of lack of mental energy, i.e., “predicting the future requires more work than simply recalling the past.” Or, “a failure in personal imagination,” as shown by the researcher who often hears people tell complex, dynamic stories about the past, but then make vague projections of a future in which things stay pretty much the same. While not adding anything to my self-esteem, the article did provide insight. I do feel better about advising my son against his tattoo and the importance of choosing a spouse wisely. Although it may be an effort in futility, at least I feel better about myself now.

Chautauqua County Humane Society Pet of the Week

Pets of the Week

This week we are featuring “Boris” and “Billie”. Billie is a 3 1/2 year old short haired dilute calico. She is super sweet. She came in with a litter of kittens and now that her babies have all been adopted, she is ready for a home of her own. Boris is a 1 1/2 year old boxer mix. He has energy to play all day. He especially likes to play with other dogs, but then likes his cuddle time. He has graduated from a basic obedience class and would love to show you what he knows. If either of these pets sounds like the one for you, please stop by the Strunk Road Adoption Center and meet them. You will be glad you did.

“We wanted to give girls the opportunity to know that, to put it in a nutshell today’s terms, that they could do anything,” said Owan. “Whatever their interests were, whether at that time to play basketball or sell things or fi x things; just typical areas which girls did not typically work in or have opportunity to do, Juliette Gordon Low wanted to do something special for girls, and that’s how Girl Scouts was fully founded. It was founded on really developing leadership in girls then, and we are still working on those same things today.” Girl Scouts today builds self -confidence and self -sustainability. It helps girls realize they can do anything. It provides girls the ability to try different things, to do different things. It provides an all girl environment which girls can be mentored by adult women. “Girls try more, do more, when they are in an all girl environment,” said Owan. Girl Scouts participate in a variety of activities - from sports such as archery and canoeing - to more intellectual pursuits such as science, technology, engineering and math. “We had a Girl Scout

The United Arts Appeal of Chautauqua County is calling on the community to sustain a wealth of local arts organizations. UAA board members recently sent letters to businesses and selected individuals throughout the county, asking for support in 2013 for their eight member organizations and the smaller groups and independent artists that receive UAA Projects Pool funding. The Chautauqua Regional Youth Ballet, Community Music Project, 1891 Fredonia Opera House, Infinity Visual & Performing Arts, Jamestown Concert Association, Lucille Ball Little Theatre of Jamestown, Reg Lenna Civic Center, and the Western New York Chamber Orchestra are the member organizations of the United Arts Appeal.

“With the significant impact that a healthy arts community has on the local economy, our focus is on soliciting businesses,” said Rick Davis, president of the United Arts Appeal board. “We are also greatly indebted to the support of the county, local foundations and individuals, as well.” As a group, this is the only request the United Arts Appeal makes of the local community. Davis cited Robert L. Lynch, President and CEO of Americans for the Arts, in his observation that, “Nonprofit arts and culture organizations are rooted locally…. employing people in jobs that cannot be shipped overseas and purchasing goods and services within the community. What’s more, spending by these organizations directly supports other locally-based businesses not typically associated with the arts—an array of occupations that

The Robert H.

Along with stories of local soldiers and their families, the exhibit showcases the historical aspects of war production at local factories, rationing, scrap drives, and air raid wardens. There are also

A new exhibit, “Civil Rights: Making the Movement” will debut soon. The exhibit will feature objects such as pins, posters, flyers, and other memorabilia to tell the story of how the civil rights movement began, gained support, and eventually accomplished what was thought of then as “impossible dreams.” Students from local schools will also participate.

influence was “El Mariachi” by Robert Rodriguez, which was his first feature fi lm, 16mm, shot on a low budget comparable to mine.There’s a lot of action in “Winter’s Kill.” In terms of cinematography, I can’t say that I was influenced by many cinematographers to create what I did, however I did research a lot of paintings by Caravaggio.” Q: Who are some directors that influenced you and “Winter’s Kill?” A: “I wanted to create something which was uncanny, which is basically the root of all horror, it’s like having someone in your home, but you aren’t sure where.

SENIOR SECTION

STAR Program Available for Eligible Residents and Seniors Contributed Article Office of County Executive Greg Edwards

The tax season is quickly approaching as all New York State residents must file their tax returns by April 15, 2013. As residents prepare for this annual filing, there are two programs available under the New York State School Tax Relief (STAR) Program, which offers homeowners a discount on their school taxes. The Basic STAR program has no age restriction and is

available for owner-occupied, primary residences where the homeowner and their spouse have an income of less than $500,000. This program exempts the first $30,000 of the full value of a home from school taxes and eligible Chautauqua County residents could save from $240 to $782 per year depending on the school district. The Enhanced Star program is available to senior citizens, age 65 and older, that have an income of $79,050 or less and provides them with an increased benefit for their

primary residences. This program exempts the first $63,000 of the full value of a home from school taxes as of 2013-14. In the past, seniors who applied for this program would have to reapply every year, however the New York State Legislature has made changes to the Enhanced STAR program to allow seniors to auto renew their benefits. To have their benefit auto renewed, seniors just need to complete the STAR application form (RP425), provide a copy of their taxes, and submit the Income

Verification Form (RP-425 IVP) and they will not need to reapply unless their residence changes. The Income Verification Form is a simple one page form that includes the owner and their spouse’s social security numbers and gives New York State the permission to look at the individuals’ filed income tax to verify their income. The Enhanced Star Program could save eligible seniors $480 to $1,566 per year depending on the school district.

Seniors who do not want to complete the Income Verification Form, can still apply for the Enhanced STAR program by using the renewal Application (RP-425Rnw) but without the Income Verification Form, they will need to reapply every year in order to receive benefits. STAR program forms are available at most town offices and all of Chautauqua County Office for the Aging locations. Forms can also be printed from the internet at www. tax.ny.gov/pit/property/star/ index.htm or residents can call

the NY Connects helpline at 753-4282, 661-7582, or 3634582 to have the forms sent to them in the mail. All STAR forms should be returned to your local tax assessor and in most towns, the deadline for filing for STAR benefits is March 1, 2013. Please check with your local assessor to ensure you don’t miss their deadline. For more information visit the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance’s website or call one of the NY Connects hotlines listed above.

RELIGION SECTION Keeping the Faith

By Rev. Michael Lokietek Contributing Writer

Dear Pastor, does God have a plan for my life? If so, how can I find it? (con’t) Last week I shared with you that there is a “general” path that God desires for all of His children and there is a path that is unique to each individ-

ual. We also saw that it is vital to learn to walk the general path before we can find out the unique path that God has for us. Today, I want us to start to examine how we can find out God’s specific plan for our lives. This specific knowledge is a little different from the general knowledge revealed in the Bible. In the example we mentioned last week, we

saw that the Bible has clear instructions concerning marriage and relationships. It gives us instructions that we need to wait until marriage to have sex and that we should marry an individual who is a fellow believer in Christ. The Bible does not, however, give us the name of the individual we are to marry and how to find them! This is where we need to hear specifically from God.

There are many other areas that we need to hear directly from God such as; where should I go to college? What job does God want me to have? How should I invest my money or what church should I attend? Such important decisions should be done prayerfully as we endeavor to follow God’s direction. As Christians, we are sometimes quick to make decisions and then, afterwards, ask God to

bless them. While God may bless them…He doesn’t have to! We can then think the situation didn’t work out because God didn’t answer our prayers rather than from our not asking God for direction in the first. It’s better to get into a lifestyle of seeking direction from God on the issues affecting our life so that our decisions will be in His will. The good news is that it is

God’s desire to show us what path to take! The Bible says in Psalm 32:8 that, “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye.” This should give us security knowing that as we seek His will, He promises to give us the direction for our lives. Next week we will look at “How to receive direction from God.”

gone through the exact same test you have. What distinguishes people and makes them great is what they build upon. Jesus didn’t teach this parable to focus on the storm; He taught the parable to focus on the foundation. We cannot gauge failure by whether or not we have faced a storm but rather if we are standing at the end of it. Notice Jesus said that when you practice doing what He says that you are like a BUILDER. I have noticed something about builders: They don’t get a finished prod-

uct in one day. Builders have to go out day after day on the same project to get results. They have to be consistent to bring something to completion if they are to enjoy payday. I want you to notice something about God’s Word. Both of these men faced rain, floods, and wind. In the case of the man who built upon the Rock, all three of these forces COMBINED could not bring down his house. The Word of God is able to keep you standing against every wicked cocktail of trouble this world can bring!

The Weekly Word By Rev. Tim Stahlman Contributing Writer

The Power of God’s Word I can’t imagine life apart from the Word of God. Actually, there is no true life apart from God’s Word. Life without the Word is like a gold fish in a plain bowl. The water can be fresh but there is neither filter keeping it clean nor an apparatus adding oxygen to the water. Slowly, the destructive elements creep in and cripple the environment. The gold fish is soon under the

burden of what used to be simple routine. His home has now become his trap. The fish has existence but it doesn’t have life. This describes the lives of so many people today. Without the Word, their lives are plagued by the filthiness of this world and life is nothing but struggle and worry. Jesus said in Matthew 7:24-27, “Therefore whosoever hears these SAYINGS OF MINE and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house UPON A ROCK. The rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds

blew and beat upon that house and it DID NOT FALL. And everyone that hears these sayings of mine and DOES NOT DO THEM shall be likened to a foolish man who built his house upon the sand. The rains descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house and it fell. And great was the fall of it.” Notice that both the wise man and the foolish man in this parable of Jesus faced the same storm. They both faced the rains, floods, and winds of life that tried to collapse their lives. But notice

only one of these men suffered the failure. The storm wasn’t their failure. The storm only revealed the true problem: The foundation upon which they built their lives. When are we going to get honest with ourselves about why failure continues to occur in our lives? Just because you are going through a storm doesn’t make you a failure. Just because you are going through a problem doesn’t mean that your faith doesn’t work. Storms in life do not make us unique. Someone somewhere at sometime has

Star Contributing Writer In 1593, at the age of 26, Francis was ordained a priest. In his preaching, Francis had no thundering message Francis was born in the Savoy Region of Switzerland on August 21, of repentance but rather he preached 1567, the eldest of thirteen children. of God’s goodness and that humans His father, a nobleman, did his duty should imitate God by disseminating and had his son educated in the best their own goodness.

people from all walks of life. Francis subscribed to the principle that a person’s ultimate goal in life automatically governs their affections and regulates their conduct. He encouraged people to enshrine God as the goal of their hearts. Francis exemplified the beatitudes in his way of life and encouraged meekness, mercy and “to labor for the food which endures unto everlasting life.” Francis believed that in order to change a person, one must use affection rather than persuasion or conviction. One of Francis’ talents was his agreeableness. “A man can not be convinced against his will.” Therefore Francis sought to win and

hold the friendship of those who opposed his principles and methods. In 1602 Francis succeeded to the Office of Bishop of Geneva. No saint ever was in closer touch with all types of people, feeling comfortable with noblemen, laborers, intellectuals and peasants. As Bishop, Francis was always on the move visiting parishes, either by horseback or carriage or on foot. He permitted all people to accost him and rebuffed no one. He also made time for solitude and found the living presence of God in nature. “I have met God in all His sweetness and fragrance even on the highest and bleakest of mountains, where the unaffected peasants adore

Him fervently, and where the deer and the antelope, scampering about over these terrifying masses of ice, proclaim his praise.” Francis wrote two books about spiritual direction, which remain popular to this day: Introduction to “The Devout Life” and “Treatise on the Love of God.” He died on December 28, 1622 at the age of 55. The Church celebrates his Feast Day on January 24. Resource for article: “A Man of Good Zeal: St Francis De Sales” by John E.

Applebee’s, located on Vineyard Dr. in Dunkirk, has been making itself a staple in the Dunkirk-Fredonia community through volunteer projects, fundraisers, weekly and monthly events.

Dunkirk Applebee’s does just that. “We try to have something special lined up for every night of the week,” said Ptak. Monday nights, Dunkirk Applebees is entering another year of the “Apple Idol”, a contest framed directly around the popular show “American Idol.” “We do it just like the show,” said Ptak. “People come in to try out, and those that make it to the competition are judged.

We have a few judges on the panel, but we also take votes from everyone in the restaurant. If you bring more people, you have a better chance of winning. It’s good for them- and good for business.” Tuesday nights at Applebees are Trivia Night, with a presentation full of audio, movie and knowledge questions. Wednesday night is Ladies’ Night, and rumor has it that a chocolate fountain may be on the way for the ladies who make it out. Once a month,

there is a full-moon party with karaoke or black-light event. There’s also the Saturday ‘Red Solo Cup’ parties. People sing, and drink- and what’s best is someone who comes as a designated driver receives free appetizers and drinks. Coming up soon is Superbowl Sunday, Feb. 3. While most guys stay at home around the big screen, you may want to change your plans this year. Groups of six who book ahead of time

will be guaranteed a seat in the bar area and receive three free appetizers. Each table will get a sheet with both teams and questions on it- and every time your group has a correct answer, you’ll be entered into a drawing for a $50 bar-tab. Between their nightly events, and community outreaches, the Dunkirk Applebees is making an impact in northern Chautauqua County.

Hamill and other superstars.” Like him or hate him, Warhol’s influence cannot be underestimated. Colby contends, “he totally changed the advertising and fine art industry; he changed the record industry,” adding

that Warhol hired people to do album covers in ways that were never done before. “His greatest impact may have been on television and movies.” “That’s what we are trying to do with the show is to demonstrate his influence

and diversity as an artist.” Tickets for the ArtHappening are available at campusstore.suny.jcc.edu and are also available at the JCC box office, located in the campus store, by calling 716-338-1187 or at the door.

Warhol Exhibit, Continued from pg. 1 Colby asserts that it is essential to reflect on Sarita’s experiences, worldview and her contributions to JCC to understand the context of her remarks. “She translated classical archives at Yale while working on her Ph.D. in theatre… championed opera, global artifacts and Victorian etiquette,” Colby writes. “Sarita never embraced modern or avante-garde movements… few individuals, whether expert, amateur or student appreciate every art period.” “And then we have another conservative (Strickler), but in terms of her art and training was progressive and wants to (embrace Warhol) and the college supported her,” says Colby. The Stricklers befriended Warhol and entertained him during his stay in Jamestown. Warhol gave Lois his iconic print of Marilyn Monroe, signing “Andy Warhol love and kisses 69,” which is also on display at Weeks gallery Tongue in cheek, the gallery director states, “I can envision a reality TV show filming Warhol dining with the Stricklers at the Town Club, juxtaposed with Sarita staying up late to write her critical editorial.” With retrospection, Colby asserts, “the idea for a college is to embrace it all and then let people (or time) decide who becomes famous or what their value is. Because the college opened up to all of that, look how much richer it is. It’s not a narrow minded collection, it’s diverse.” More Than Just Pop Art Another point Colby

wishes to drive home is that the work of Warhol is much more than the pop art he is famous for. He was, the gallery director states, “one of the century’s most sought after portrait artists.” Colby writes, “as a fan of Queen Elizabeth,

Sarita may have bonded with Warhol if she had viewed the Queen’s proper, regal portrait. Warhol also portrayed Mao Zedong, John F. and Jackie Kennedy, Truman Capote, Liza Minnelli, Jimmy Carter, Mohammed Ali, Dorothy

Moore is the head coach of the Fredonia State men’s basketball team, admitted that being a Blue Devil was not her first choice. “No it wasn’t,” she said with a laugh. “I have two older brothers and they both went to Fredonia State. My dad of course is the coach here. I was like ‘I am not going to Fredonia.’ I went to visit Nazareth. I went to visit Oswego. I just love Fredonia State’s campus. I had to come here.” Brunswick and Lundquist, meanwhile, didn’t come to Fredonia State right away. The pair spent their first two years after high school at Jamestown Community College before transferring over to be Blue Devils this year. Their transfer reunited them with Austin and gave Wise three former Lady Panthers on the roster. “The Pine Valley girls come from a style of play that’s very defen-

sive,” Wise said. “That has really helped them in the college game. Being able to play man-to-man defense in high school has really helped them at this level.” “It’s been amazing,” Austin, who leads the team in assists per game, added enthusiastically. “As soon as I left high school I hoped someday I might have the opportunity to play with them again. Now that I am, we’ve been able to bring some of the chemistry from high school and really come together. It’s been a lot of fun.” After spending their entire high school careers playing together, it’s not a surprise that Lundquist, Austin and Brunswick still have that chemistry they developed as Lady Panthers. What’s important to Wise is that the Pine Valley trio fits in so well with the rest of the team.

There’s a terrible, IQ-lowering, gag-me-with-a-spoon trend in television “shows” over the past few years. It’s called reality TV. The first such program that I can recall is Fox’s ‘American Idol’. You know the one. For the first few weeks the judges insult, belittle and humiliate contestants who think they can sing — all of this is assuming the show is actually ‘reality’ and these folks aren’t just planted for entertainment. All of America laughs along at these unfortunate people. Then there were classics like ‘Survivor’ and ‘The Amazing Race’ and their infinite knockoffs. Now you can hardly turn on the boob tube without seeing some garbage about a rich teenage girl who doesn’t get her way or an old man whose house is filled with halfempty cartons of orange juice.

chautauqua Sports Hall of miller stops 34 shots to lead Fame to Induct Dan palmer sabres past Leafs

Contributed Article CSHOF

Associated Press

The Board of Directors of the Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame is proud to announce that Dan Palmer will be formally inducted at the CSHOF’s 32nd Annual Banquet, Monday, February 18, 2013, at the Lakewood Rod and Gun Club. For more than 35 years, Dan Palmer's distinctive voice and style have been a part of our lives almost every day on the airwaves in Chautauqua County. He's been a fixture at WDOE Radio in Dunkirk where he began his legendary sports broadcasting career in 1975. His first high school football game was a battle between rivals Southwestern and Fredonia and since that time, he's been the playby-play voice for more than 2,000 regular season and playoff games for Northern Chautauqua County's 10 area high schools, at the college level, as well as youth sports. You name it and Palmer has probably done it. Whether it's baseball, softball, soccer, volleyball, basketball or football, Palmer has showcased his broadcasting talents each time he steps in front of a microphone, including hundreds of Section 6 championship games, Far West regional games and 20 New York State Public High School tournaments. Palmer's also had the opportunity to interview dozens of Northern

High School Standings

Commentary continued from pg 1 There used to be an escape. There used to be a way to get away from the horrors of ‘Hell’s Kitchen’ and ‘Bridezillas’. That outlet, of course, was sports. Sports was that glorious breath of fresh air in the morning that let us know the world hadn’t gone into the proverbial gutter. We could flip on ESPN and see magnificent highlights of LeBron James throwing down thunderous dunks. We could watch Derek Jeter go deep in the gap, snag the ball with a backhand, jump and throw a runner out by an eyelash. We could watch Adrian Peterson zig and zag his way downfield for another eye-popping touchdown run. But I’m afraid that time is at an end. At least that’s what it feels like with this Manti Te’o story. For those of you who somehow haven’t heard: Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te’o was supposedly the victim of a cruel hoax. Back in September, the story came out that Te’o had a girlfriend in Hawaii that died of leukemia. His courageous story and play on the field inspired the nation. How could you not root for a guy like that? The problem, as first reported by Deadspin.com, is that this person — given the name Lennay Kekau — never existed. The whole thing was fabricated. The situation gets sticky from there. There are reports of former teammates actually meeting this woman. There are reports that Te’o is simply the victim of a hoax. There are contrasting reports that Te’o was in on the whole thing. Some are even claiming that Notre Dame was part of the cover-up. It will be somewhat interesting to see what becomes of this story. Interesting, maybe, but it shouldn’t be garnering the tidal wave of attention that it’s getting. The whole thing just feels like a bad reality TV show. In fact, the story closely follows a film — supposedly a documentary, but its credibility is questionable — entitled ‘Catfish’ in which a man videotapes his brother as he builds a romantic relationship with a woman on Facebook. Then it turns out the woman isn’t real. Admittedly, I have never seen the film, but that’s the description I’ve read. For days ESPN treated this story like it was the biggest thing to ever happen in sports. Absolutely everyone was talking about it. It was akin to when the Tiger Woods affair rumors started. What started as a spark

spread like wild fire. People “in the know” started coming out of the woodwork to share their stories about Te’o and Kekau. If this was one of those slow weeks in February after the Super Bowl but before March Madness, it would be understandable why this story was getting all the love, but it’s not. The AFC and NFC Championship games were this weekend — and were incredibly entertaining — and coaches are moving all around the NFL. The NHL is back is a big way. The college basketball scene is as unpredictable as always with No. 1 ranked teams falling like flies. But the thing that grinds my gears is that the national media seems to prefer the Te’o story over the incredible Lance Armstrong story. Armstrong is unquestionably the greatest cyclist who ever lived. He won a record seven Tour De France titles. He overcame cancer and used his story to start a foundation that raises millions of dollars to help others overcome cancer as well. He single-handedly put the sport of cycling on the map, in the United States anyway. Armstrong became arguably the single most influential athlete in the world. His little yellow “Livestrong” bracelets even helped start a fashion craze. And then last week, after years of adamantly denying his use of performanceenhancing drugs during his championship run, Armstrong finally admitted to using PEDs. His Olympic medal was stripped, his Tour De France titles have been erased, his teammates turned on him and the millions of dollars in endorsements are all gone. It may have been the single biggest day in the history of the sport. But wait, a college football player, who was quite literally a nobody until this season, may or may not have had a girlfriend who died. Stop the presses! America is going to eat this up. Am I missing something? When I first heard the news I had a brief chuckle and moved on. I was giving more thought to the Australian Open, yes (gasp), tennis, than I was to this story. Yet just as America can’t get enough of ‘Pawn Wars’ or ‘Toddlers & Tiaras’ everyone is talking about the fictional girlfriend of a college student. Quite frankly, it makes me embarrassed to be even a small part of sports media. Where has the journalistic integrity gone to?

it affects the whole team. She’s pretty good about staying positive. She loves to win. She’s competitive. She wants to play basketball at the next level.” The Lady Thunderbirds haven’t been in any exceptionally close games this season, but that doesn’t mean Schuster feels his girls aren’t battle-tested and ready for the stretch run. “We’ve played some pretty good teams early on,” he noted. “We just beat Panama 60-44, but the game was much closer than

Local Athletes Continuing At Fredonia State continued from pg 1 “I just think they’re filling in well with everybody on our team and the way we run things,” Wise said. “They not only have chemistry with each other, but they have it with everybody else. That’s big.” Each player had some interesting takes on the differences between high school basketball and the college game. “Definitely the talent,” Moore stated. “Everyone was the best player on their high school team. So you’re going up against the best of the best. It’s also more physical. You get pushed around a little bit.” “It’s a different tempo,” Brunswick pointed out. “In college you set things up and look for specific things. In high school it’s a lot more about getting points off fast breaks. It’s a lot more structured in college.” “In college,” Lundquist added. “You’re on a team with everyone who loves to play basketball.” “I would say the pace of the game and the seriousness

a 16-point game. Our starters had to play the majority of the game. I really think our division has some talented teams. It’s not like we can ever walk out there and know for sure that we’re going to win.” A big test was to come this past Tuesday, but the Lady Thunderbirds’ road contest against Ellicottville was postponed due to inclement weather. “Ellicottville matches us well with us size-wise,” Schuster admitted. “Maple Grove will also be a chal-

of it,” Austin commented. “It’s a lot more competitive and a faster pace.” All four women were also quick to credit Coach Wise with improving their games. “She’s great,” Austin said. “She gives us a lot of confidence in the game. She’s always had our backs.” “She’s had a big influence,” Brunswick added of Wise. “She’s taught me a lot of new things. She really brought us together as a team. It’s worked out great.” “Definitely a big influence,” Lundquist agreed. “She’s helped me see different aspects of my game that I could improve.” “In high school I was a mediocre player,” Moore said. “Coach Wise definitely taught me a lot about the game. I came here and had a great freshman year and a great sophomore year.” And of course every one of the now-college athletes gave glowing reviews of their former high school coaches. “She’s still an influence on me,” Moore said of Fredonia High School coach

Carol Zirkle. “I love Coach Zirkle. I still go and hang out at their practices. She kept me grounded and taught me to work hard. Going back to their practices, I see them work their butts off and it lets me know that’s where I came from.” “I will always go back and see him,” Lundquist said of Pine Valley’s legendary head coach Tim Nobles. “He’s definitely a father figure and he’s always there for us.” “He will always influence me,” Brunswick echoed. “I still go back and practice with them when I get a chance.” “One hundred percent,” Austin said of Nobles’ influence on her. “Everything that I’ve learned in high school from Mr. Nobles has carried over to my college game.” Wise, perhaps not being satisfied with just local players, even added a local coach to her staff this season. Rich Norton, who spent the past nine seasons coaching the girls basket-

ball team at Silver Creek Roll High School, is now an assistant coach for the Fredonia State women’s basketball team. “He’s been helping a Gir lot with the recruiting Mo because he knows a lot of Vall the local coaches,” Wise Frid said of Norton. “We use Boy him in that capacity and Tue he’s been doing a great Vall job. It’s been really great Frid having him around.” The influx of local talent — both on the floor and on the sidelines — had helped Fredonia State to an 8-6 record this season. The team sits in just seventh place in the SUNYAC, but is just one game out of fourth. Wise is confident the team will get to where it needs to be. “They’re all so very coachable,” she said. “When you go from high school to college, it’s a totally different transition of the game. They have all taken the things we do on this level and been able to raise their game up. They keep getting better and better.”

lenge. There are a few games in the middle of the season that we should probably win handily. I’m hoping to get a scrimmage with Jamestown. That should help us stay sharp.” Schuster was also quick to point out that the game isn’t played on paper. Strange things can happen on the court. “Last year we beat Maple Grove by 20 at home,” he pointed out. “Then we went down to Maple Grove and lost. It’s just one of those hostile places that’s

very hard to play in.” And like any good coach, Schuster remained humble, giving all the credit to the girls on the court. “Truthfully I don’t think it has anything to do with me,” he maintained. “I’m kind of a younger coach, this is only my fourth year. I can already tell that this is a special group. Teams like this just don’t come around too often. Most teams only have two or three kids who really want to play and really love it. We have a ton of kids who

just want to win. “We also have a group of kids who, away from basketball, are best friends,” Schuster concluded. “They share a lot in common. We have a lot of kids who this is their third season playing varsity basketball. When you have a group of kids like that, they mesh.” Whatever the recipe for success is, Schuster’s found it. One thing is for certain: This third-ranked team in the state is going to be a tough customer for anyone come playoff time.

Winning streak still alive continued from pg 1 is a double-double — at the very least — waiting to happen. A game in which she doesn’t lead all players in points and rebounds is the exception to the rule. Not only that, Schuster adds, but she’s invaluable off the floor as well. “She’s really the leader,” he said of Einink. “She’s only a sophomore but she’s the leader. She’s the voice on our team. She’s the type of kid the others look up to. You can tell if she’s not playing her best and she gets down on herself,

Ironmen Split Weekend road Series

Contributed Article Jamestown Ironmen

The Jamestown Ironmen traveled to Kalamazoo, MI this past weekend and split a pair of games with the Jr. K-Wings in North American Hockey League action. Jamestown (26-10-3) took the fi rst contest on Saturday, with a 3-2 shootout victory. It didn’t look like the game was destined for overtime when the Ironmen got off to a quick start with a pair of goals in the fi rst period. Defensemen, Dylan Zink scored unassisted while forward Evan Ritt beat the Kalamazoo goaltender with assists from Tyler Minx and Ryan Urso. Jamestown was shut out the next two periods while the Jr. K-Wings notched a couple of goals to tie the score at 2-2 and send the game into overtime. After a scoreless 4-on-4 overtime period, a shootout ensued where goals were hard to come by. Ironmen defensemen Tyler Minx netted the only goal of the shootout to lift his team to victory. Tim Shaughnessy made 40 saves between the pipes for Jamestown en route to his ninth win of the season. Jamestown outshot the opponent 4742.

in goal for the Ironmen, making 36 saves. “Shaughnessy played great. He gave us an opportunity to win, and in the end we just couldn’t score,” said Ironmen Head Coach Dan Daikawa in reference to Sunday’s loss. “We are happy with the weekend. It is very tough to win on the road, and we are working through some injuries right now. Both games were tight and could have went either way.”

Jamestown earned two points on the weekend and is once again tied with the Soo Eagles for fi rst place in the NAHL North Division. The Ironmen will travel to Springfield for a pair of games with the Jr. Blues this Friday and Saturday and will return home to host the Soo Eagles at 11 a.m. on Thursday, January 31 for the Annual School Day Game.

sABres spOiL HOme Opener fOr rivAL mApLe LeAfs COntinued frOm pG 1 With Scrivens back on the bench and Toronto on a late power play, Kadri was all alone to the side of Miller but couldn't get his stick on the bouncing puck in the dying seconds to force overtime. ''He is a very good goalie, one of the top goalies in the league for a reason,'' said Leafs captain Dion Phaneuf, who blasted a shot off the post in the fi rst. ''You have to have traffic on him and we did, but he made some real good saves. You have to give him credit, he made some big saves for them. We got traffic in the tough areas, but at the end of the day we just didn't execute.'' Cody Hodgson, who had one of Buffalo's goals, credited Miller for the victory. ''He was pretty amazing back there,'' Hodgson said. ''We were just able to pull it out. It wasn't the prettiest, but we'll take it.'' Jason Pominville had the other goal for Buffalo, which was outshot 35-20 in the first of four meetings this year with Toronto. The Leafs opened their season Saturday night with a 2-1 road win over Montreal. Toronto outshot Buffalo 13-5 in the first, but it was the Sabres who had the period's lone goal as Hodgson opened the scoring at 8:51, deflecting Christian Ehrhoff's point shot past Scrivens for his second goal of the season. The Leafs had a prime chance to tie it when the visitors took three straight minor penalties - giving the home team an extended two-man advantage - but the

Vanek Leads Sabres to 5-2 Win In opener By John Wawrow AP Sports Writer

A nine-month layoff, courtesy of the NHL lockout, wasn't long enough to disrupt the chemistry between the Buffalo Sabres' top two linemates, Thomas Vanek and Jason Pominville. Vanek scored twice and added three assists, and Pominville had three assists in leading the Sabres to a 5-2 season-opening win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Sunday afternoon. ''Ah, they spent a lot of years playing together. You go all the way back to their days in Rochester,'' coach Lindy Ruff said, referring to the two playing together in the American Hockey League 2004-05 season. ''Those two guys are a little bit like glue.'' They sure stuck it to the Flyers as the Sabres scored the game's final four goals the last three coming in the fi nal five minutes. ''Good linemates,'' Vanek said of his career-best outing. ''And a little bit lucky at the same time.'' He became the first Sabres player with five points in a game since Drew Stafford had three goals and two assists in January 2008. Vanek tied it 2-2 by scoring on a breakaway with 4:06 left in the second period. He then had a hand in setting up defenseman Tyler Myers' go-ahead goal with 5:03 remaining. The Sabres worked the puck around to the left point, where Myers got off a shot that appeared to deflect in off the skate of Flyers defenseman Kimmo Timonen, who was battling with Vanek for position in

putting those memories behind them begun Sunday, when the Sabres opened the regular season defeating Philadelphia 5-2. ‘’We went through everything, the good, the bad and the ugly,’’ said Ruff, who returns for a 15th season, the NHL’s longest active tenured coach with one team. ‘’We’ve cleared the air this summer,’’ Ruff added, noting that the staff and players established a standard of accountability to one another. ‘’I think that’s a good place to be. I think the true test, though, is when you get knocked down a little bit to hold that standard. That will be our true test.’’ The Sabres last season were criticized for being pushovers, it’s no surprise that the few moves the Sabres made this offseason were to bulk up their lineup. They acquired gritty hard-hitting forward Steve Ott in a trade that sent underachieving center Derek Roy to Dallas. Buffalo also signed rugged 6-foot-8 forward John Scott in free agency. For Miller, it’s time the Sabres started proving themselves. ‘’We came up short, and we were obviously disappointed. It was a long time to sit around,’’ Miller said. ‘’We defi nitely have an idea of what we want to be doing, and that’s putting ourselves in the best position to win a championship. ‘’It’s a short-sprint season. So let’s go do it.’’
