Catholic Education Week Focuses on Faith, Academics and Service by Patricia Pihl Star Staff Writer

Focusing on the three components of the Catholic education, faith, academics and service, area catholic schools will be engaging their students in themed activities while touting educational benefits during Catholic Schools Week, January 29 February 4. “We are definitely a communitybased organization,” said Dianne Woleen, a teacher at Catholic Academy of the Holy Family in Jamestown. The school educates students from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade, accepting students of all faiths. Holy Family’s students have a reputation for outstanding performance in both academics and leadership skills. Like public schools, Woleen says the school also offers electives such as band, chorus, art physical education, Spanish (starting in Pre-K) drama and running club, and other extracurricular activities. In addition, the school promotes “a solid faith foundation of Christian values and morals that teach respect for self and others.” Curriculum choice Parents of students in preschool through third grade are also given a choice in curriculum and may choose the traditional or Montessori program. According to Woleen, the traditional program is very hands on, using “manipulatives” to develop motor and problem solving skills.

Holy Family students in Jamestown participate in a math unit on geometry. By building right angles, the activity helps students with problem solving and assists them in recognizing symmetry.

With a 1 to 7 teacher to student ratio, the program is also geared to provide individualized instruction in either remediation or advanced learning. Another option at Holy Family is the Montessori program, which is based on the belief that if the child leads the learning, they are more apt to grow and advance. “Every morning and afternoon, students in the program receive an hour and a half of uninterrupted learning time--guided by the students’ interest.” While focusing on a student’s particular strength or interest, The Montessori method also provides ways for students to learn across various subject areas. “Say a student

is very strong or interested in math, they may introduce ELA (English Language Arts) skills through reading and math,” explains Woleen. It also fosters, she says, a more calm environment for learning. ‘A Strong Foundation’ Cory Pecorella, Principal of St. Bernadette Catholic School in Orchard Park, says, “A catholic eduction provides students with an excellent academic program, but we don’t stop there...we stress faith, service, athletics and extracurricular activities.” He adds, “It’s a school with strong foundations in all the areas that develop a well-rounded student.” St. Bernadette, which has 192

students enrolled in pre-K through eighth grade school, was ranked in the top 5 percent of elementary schools in Western New York last year by Business First Magazine, placing it in fifteenth place out of nearly 300 schools. Both schools follow curriculum guidelines outlined by New York State, as well as guidelines of the Diocese of Buffalo. Holy Family also recently announced its new “science across the curriculum,” program. According to Principal Samuel Pellerito, the enhanced and expanded emphasis on Science “evolves from a commitment not only to better challenge and inspire our students, but to make our students more competitive in the local and global job market.” The program includes Pre-K through grade 8, with emphasis on its middle school students. Other Benefits Woleen says there is quite a bit of research regarding the benefits of having children in Pre-K through eighth grade in the same building. “It’s good for both the younger students and the older students...the younger students can look up to the older students and the older students feel like role models.” Rather than making all the changes at once to a new school, teachers, and new expectations, kids in middle grades face changes incrementally.

Going With the Flow

Exciting Changes and updates at the Chautauqua Star By Scott Wise and Dusten Rader News and Entertainment Editors

Well, it’s the beginning of a new year, and with that always comes change. We’ve got some exciting changes around here that we’re sure you’ll be happy to hear about. First with the print editionmake sure to read Dusten’s part of this article to know more about what’s going on with the entertainment section, as that’s perhaps our biggest change. One thing we’ve done is made room for the Star TV magazine, which has been printed as a tab since the first issue of 2012. It’s an amazing resource that brings the newspaper TV guide into a new light, and keeps the focus on local business- something very important to us. Plenty of advertisers have joined with us to you make your TV scheduling easy and simple. Check out the Star TV tab today. Another big change is our focus on our website, StarNewsDaily. com. Our website has been noted around the country as best in class. It maintains a reputation as community portal, rather than just a news source. If you can’t get your hands on the print edition fast enough every week, you’ll now be able to find all

our stories on the website before the print edition even comes out. Additionally, you can share stories with your friends on social networks like Facebook and Twitter and around the country. We’ve had people on our website from all 50 states, which tells us this great county of ours has something other folks want! Lastly, we had a meeting of the minds to discuss how to better relate to our great readers. Well, we’ve decided to start blogging. Every day

on our website, you can read each of our blogs and find more exciting info about what’s going on in the area regarding events, entertainment, lifestyles and sports. As always, thanks for being our faithful readers. Read on to let Dusten cue you in on Entertainment changes. Entertainment Changes So, if you haven’t already taken notice there have been quite a few changes to the Entertainment section over the past couple of weeks.

Inside This Week The most drastic change is the fact that we went from a Tab to including the entertainment in the Main section. There is a possibility of bringing it back in the future so keep an eye out if you enjoyed reading it. On a good note we did also add the Star TV Guide which is a great resource when it comes to television programming. One of the other changes is that I’m going to start featuring recipes from the local company Burning Asphalt Sauces. This will help promote their fantastic product and also give me some delicious recipes to spotlight. Thirdly, you should check out my commentary this week. I’ve started a daily blog that I call ‘Daily Radar’. In this blog I’ll be featuring some great sources for music related entertainment. A few things I’ve written about so far include Pitchfork Media, Lablogotheque’s Take Away Shows, BBC Live Radio Sessions, Woodsongs Coffeehouse Radio Hour, WFUV and The Alternate Side. The feature is website only and you can find it here: www.starnewsdaily.com/viewby/tag/ daily-radar. I’ll also be running the commentary every third week in the paper to promote the website. Stay tuned for some more great material in the coming weeks.

Catholic Education Week, Continued from page 1 followed by a concert by Bill Ward. On the service theme, Wednesday kicks off the Blue Star Mother’s Collection. Headed up by Beth Faulkner, a teacher at Holy Family, the school will put together packages which will be sent to soldiers and military personnel at Easter. Activities throughout the week will recognize the contributions of faculty, staff and volunteers, parishes, students, the community, and the nation. In an era of lower enrollments and tight budgets, Woleen says, “We are feeling the budget crunch just like everyone else, but we haven’t cut anything, we are actually adding programing. We are looking to grants and other ways so that our students are getting the

“They are in a building that they are already comfortable in with teachers they already know that care about them...It alleviates that anxiety.” Woleen adds, “When you bring boys and girls into this environment, there are expectations of what the language will be, and how we will treat each other, so (discipline) problems are reduced.” The smaller education community also fosters a closer relationship with parents, she says. National Catholic Schools Week Activities On Monday, Holy Family is recognizing the contributions of the community by inviting its board, pastors, city council members, the mayor and other local officials for what they are calling a thank you celebration. The event will be

total education experience.” “We do feel we have a great educational process here for all grade levels that’s totally inclusive.” Woleen says that there are also scholarship monies, like the bison fund for lower incomes through the diocese which will help families with tuition costs. For more information on The Catholic Academy at Holy Family, call 716-483-3245 or visit www.holyfamilyjamestown.org. For information on St. Bernadette School, visit www.stbschool.org/ or call 716-649-3369. Both schools are planning Open Houses, Holy Family on March 20 and St. Bernadette on January 29.

Craigs List Scam in Chautauqua County Contributed Release Evans Police Department

The Town of Evans Police, in conjunction with the New York State Park Police, are investigating a Craigs list scam. The Craig’s list posting, dates 01-15-12, advertised a country music concert to be held at Evangola State Park between July 13, 2012 and July 15, 2012. This is a false advertise-

On today’s radar, Hello everyone, I’ve decided that I’m going to start a daily blog on everything music related that I stumble upon throughout my day. I plan on including links to articles, photos and videos that I find entertaining and engaging. My main focus will be on music

related topics. So, to start out I’ll be introducing one of my favorite websites for music related news. Pitchfork Media: Pitchfork has been a favorite source if music related news of mine for as long as I can remember. Pitchfork is an amazing website that features everything from album reviews, interviews, photos, music videos and original content like articles and columns. One of my favorite aspects of the website is Pitchfork. tv. This is where you will find original programs presented by Pitchfork Media on any and all of your favorite musicians. Here is an example of what you’ll find on Pitchfork.tv: http://pitchfork.com/tv/pitch-

fork-classic/1885-the-flaminglips-the-soft-bulletin/3081intro/ Another one of my favorite parts of Pitchfork Media is that every year they feature the top staff picks on tracks, albums, music videos and photos. 2011’s picks and also links to the other years can be found here: http://pitchfork. com/features/staff-lists/ One of the neat things about the 2011 staff list for best tracks is that they decided to use Spotify to feature the playlist. Which, Spotify is what I’ll be talking about on Ta Monday. If you’re not already on Spotify you’re missing out MA and you should probably work Pg 2 on that as soon as possible.

More than 250 people packed up their sleds and came out to enjoy the snow-packed fun and challenging experiences at the camps annual Klondike derby. The scouts enjoy the chili day at Camp Merz on Saturday. The event had stations dotted across the white expanse of the camp. This popular event was organized by the local Two Lakes District of the Allegheny Highlands Council and Boy Scouts from throughout the region were represented. Also in attendance this year was and co-ed Explore post from Ripley. “Challenging the scouts both mentally and physically is the key,” said Two Lakes Klondike Chairman and Scoutmaster from Panama Randy Rickerson. According to Rickerson, we added a new twist that the scouts had to make and use a pair of snowshoes for one of the stations. We let the scouts do the research and what a wide variety of snowshoes the came up with. Some even resembled milk crates! The event featured 12 stations dotted across the camp, such as ice rescue, fire starting and orienteering course, as well as a number of activities that centered on team building, leadership training and problem solving. The stations were scored and plaques where handed out at the end of the day. Finishing first overall was the scouts from Bemus point Troop 137. Second places were the Explores scouts from Ripley Post 271. Third places were scouts from Panama Troop 141 Deer Patrol. At lunch time the scouts enjoyed a couple of great sloppy joes, and a Klondike Bar. Chicken noodle and beef soup was provided all day in the dining

hall along with hot coco and coffee for all the adults. Organizers said the older Boy Scouts assume leadership roles as patrol leaders in participating in this winter event as “youth leading youth,” and as a creative way to build life skills while providing fun and instructional environment for the younger Scouts. “We want to get the kids outside to enjoy the season,” said Rickerson. “We’re putting the outing in Scouting.” Gail Sandy Two Lakes Chairman said “There are more than 1,500 youth of all ages

from Chautauqua and western Cattaraugus County currently active in Two Lakes district and the skills learned during their Scouting experience help them throughout the course of their lives.” “It’s no accident that so many of our astronauts, congressmen and business leaders were Scouts,” added Sandy. “Scouting provides them a solid foundation.” For more information on how you or someone from your family can become a scout visit our web page at www.alleghenyhighlandscouncil.org.

Celebrate Groundhog Day Skiing at Audubon

Contributed Article Audubon Center and Sanctuary

Here’s a new way to celebrate Groundhog Day: going cross country skiing with the Audubon Center and Sanctuary’s Senior Naturalist. On Thursday morning, Feb. 2, from 10 a.m. to noon, Jeff Tome will lead participants along Audubon’s trails. Flat, well-traveled and filled with great things to find, these trails are perfect for cross country skiing. This will be an “easy ski,” going slow and looking for signs of animals, winter spiders, and more along the way. New skiers can even learn a little bit about how to cross country ski. Since it will be Groundhog Day, participants will see if they can see their shadows – and maybe a giant squir-

rel, too. Afterward, skiers will relax with some coffee or tea. Jeff Tome has been skiing at Audubon for years. Since he escapes the office at lunch whenever possible for a quick spin around the ponds, he is very familiar with Audubon’s trails and what is happening outside. A limited number of cross country skis are available to be borrowed for the program. Participants are asked to dress lighter than they would expect: skiing is hard work, and you don’t want to be bundled up too much to pre-

vent overheating. Dress with waterproof pants if possible, and wear layers that can be removed. Cost is $10 for members, $12 for non-members, $5 for children 12 and under. Fee includes coffee/tea after the ski and perhaps skis if you don’t have your own.  Reservations are required by Tuesday, January 31, by calling (716) 569-2345, emailing info@jamestownaudubon. org, or using the on-line form. After that, call to check on available space. The Audubon Center and Sanctuary is at 1600 Riverside Road, off Route 62 between Jamestown and Warren. For more information on this and all Audubon Center and Sanctuary programs, call (716) 569-2345 or visit http:// jamestownaudubon.org.

YMCA Focus on Health by Scott Mekus YMCA Membership & Marketing Director

New Year’s Resolutions – Getting Back On Track January is almost over and those New Year’s resolutions may have started to enter the back of your mind. Between busy workloads, children’s hectic life schedules, and all the other things we all do in a week’s time, it is understandable how easy this can happen. But, let’s think about it again. The reason for New Year’s resolutions was mainly to better yourself in some shape or fashion. Overcoming excuses that become a hindrance to your goals is hard to achieve at times, but it is doable with the right mindset. Whether your resolutions pertain to work, school, family, personal goals, church, or something different, you can get back on track with these strategies:

Be Positive Negativity never gets anyone anywhere. When you wake up in the morning, know that it is going to be a great day and remember that when it comes to making tough decisions or overcoming potential negative situations. Revisit Your Resolutions Your resolutions should have been written down somewhere. Refer back to these often to make sure you are on task. If you need some help, look at each resolution and make it happen by recommitting to it. Just Do It We all get unmotivated, sluggish, and tend to procrastinate at times. This does not help. Instead, think about the final result and this will get you fired up and ready to accomplish what you set out to do. You can often use small rewards after achieving certain levels. Talk About It Friends or family members are your best source of encourage-

ment. They can sometimes make you see things n a new light or give you that piece of advice that works for them. Being strong enough to confide in others will help you see the importance of the resolutions you have set for 2012. Picture It This may sound dorky, but take a moment and actually draw a picture or a group of pictures to describe how you would look or feel after each resolution is achieved. The rules – do not use any words and see if this realization will make you see the big picture. Don’t Give Up This is probably the number one downfall in most of us. Resolutions are not easy to accomplish and take time. It they were easy, there would not be New Year’s resolutions. So, instead of giving up, get off the couch, focus, and do it for you. So, good luck to you. You can do it!

Flavor of the Week – The Sweet Spot

By Dusten Rader Entertainment Editor

The sweetest spot in all of Chautauqua County can be found in the quaint lakeside town of Mayville. Whether looking for a cafe style lunch or baked goods ranging from cookies to cheesecakes Mayville’s Sweet Spot has something to satisfy any craving. A true small family operation, The Sweet Spot is owned by the Wendells who are locals. Darlene is from Jamestown and Tim is from Mayville. Their two daughters Lisa and Katie are also part of the business. So, everyone who works at The Sweet Spot is either family or a close friend. Tim and Darlene’s families were also instrumental in getting the bakery started. “Tim and I both had a desire to stay in the community,” said Darlene. “I had for years wanted to do a cafe style bakery to combine what my two daughters and I love to do. So, I combined their talents of cookies and cheesecakes into The Sweet Spot.” Darlene’s previous experience managing a hotel and a gift shop helped her get the business started. She had no previous baking experience other than baking for enjoyment and selling cakes out of her home from time to time in her youth. Darlene and her daughters are serious about cheesecake. Their creations are thick masterpieces of sweet perfection. Each cheesecake takes eight hours to make from start to finish and is made from scratch with the finest ingredients. “We want our cheesecakes to be the best slice you’ve had,” said Darlene. “So, we use a signature sugar cookie shortbread crust, heavy whipping cream, real cream cheese, real sugar and a ganache. And, when you get a slice here you get a nice thick slice because we cut ours into 12 slices.” The baked goods range from cookies like frosted cut-outs, chocolate dipped biscotti, chocolate chip, peanut butter, frosted sugar, oatmeal, fudgie no bakes, pecan swirls, sugar jumbles, Neapolitan, molasses, Snickerdoodle and Scandinavian almond bars to a number of delicious homemade muffins and cinnamon rolls as well. “The recipes are ones we’ve come up with and ones that my mom has been using for years,” said Darlene. “They are recipes that we enjoy and we are always adding new things whenever we find something that we like.” Everything from the baked goods, cheesecakes and cafe fare are all made from scratch. The Sweet Spot makes a point to use as many local ingredients as possible.. The coffee is obtained from a local roaster called Stedman Corners (stedmancoffee.com). In addition to the baked goods and cheesecakes there is also a good variety of cafe lunch style options. The signature sandwich is the Fried Bologna that includes a thick

cut slice of bologna topped with grilled onions, mustard and American cheese on a pretzel roll. “The sandwich has been the most fun to watch people eat because it brings our customers back to their childhood memories of Grandma making a fried bologna,” said Darlene. The Turkey Bacon melt with fresh roasted turkey breast, Applewood smoked bacon and Swiss on a hearty white or mulitgrain bread has also been well received. There are also breakfast sandwiches,

cold sandwiches, wraps and homemade soups. There are a great number of vegetarian inspired options to choose from as well. There are every day specials on sandwiches and soup, a slice of cheesecake and drink, baked goods and coffee or breakfast sandwiches and coffee. Plus, every week the cafe features a number of specials on soups, breakfast items, sandwiches and side dishes like homemade macaroni and cheese. The building has quite a bit of history to it and has

transitioned from being the Mayville Tuesday Club library, to the Chautauqua Vacation Land office, to a Post Journal office, the Palmer Youth Facility and finally became a bakery about twelve years ago. Tim and Darlene purchased the building so that she could open all the rooms for seating and to expand when she desired. One of the great unique features of The Sweet Spot is the seating situation. Being that The Sweet Spot is located inside the old county clerk’s office building that was built

in 1859 guests have the choice of sitting in three distinct rooms. Guests encounter the first room as they enter the building to find a small but adequate seating area complete with food display cases and gift ideas. The second room is a large seating area through the left door that can accommodate parties, business meetings and family meals. The third room is the most unique being that it is located in the old vault. The room has high ceilings with a classic design, the original brick walls are visible near the old metal vault door and

it has an echo that adds to the experience. Another great aspect of The Sweet Spot is that Tim and Darlene believe that the accommodating the community is the best way to achieve success. So, she has been listening to her customers and making changes accordingly. She wants her customers to feel like they are involved in the business. She also wants them to know that she is willing to give back to the community as well. She instead of having a tip jar she features a local charity each week and collects donations for each one. One of the recent charities who received a donation was the Mayville Food Pantry and they received $411 from the community. “Tim and I want you to feel like you’re coming into my home and not just somewhere to eat,” said Darlene. “We want you to come in and stay with us for a while so we can get to know you. And, from the moment you walk through the door we want it to look good, smell good and for you to feel like you’re welcome. If you walk in here and weren’t inspired in a positive way and we haven’t made you smile then we’ve failed. It is critical for us to make people happy here.” For more information on The Sweet Spot call 716-224-1021 or visit mayvillesweetspot. com. Custom orders can be made by calling a week in advance. The Sweet Spot is located at 4 North Erie Street in Mayville and is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday and closed on Sunday.

Movie Review Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close Star Staff Writer Amber Rinehart

Star Rating: 2/5 Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close is a movie that should be perfect. I has an interesting story concept, brilliant actors, an Oscar winning director, a phenomenal screenwriter and is based on a novel by an award-winning writer. What happened instead would be akin to trying to make a wonderful cake using all the finest ingredients. The worlds best bacon, imported cheese, organic tofu, Doritos and a pair of Nike socks. Just because you use the best of everything does not mean that it will turn out good. Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close tries to be so many things, a portrait of grief, a look into a child’s mind, a character study, a link connecting people and emotions together and a mystery. As much as I hate to say it, it failed on all fronts. The reason I hate to give this movie a bad review is because it should have been good. Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close was written by Jonathan Safran Foer, whose other novel, Everything is Illuminated was turned into a film starring Elijah Wood in 2005. Eric Roth served as screenwriter. Roth is responsible for writing the screenplay for many amazing films such as The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, The Horse Whisperer and Forrest Gump. Director Stephen Daldry has three Academy Awards on his mantel from his direction of The Reader, The Hours and Billy Elliot, which were all amazing movies. The story is quite simple, after the death of his father, played by Tom Hanks, in the September 11th attacks, young Oskar Schell, played by Hollywood newcomer Thomas Horn, finds a key in his fathers closet. Oskar is determined to find out what the key opens, hoping it will contain a final message from his father and help him get over his death. Oskar then sets out across the boroughs of New York City to try to find clues. Along his way, he meets different people from all different backgrounds that help him to better understand life and death. Oskar also suffers from not only severe confusion and grief, he also suffers from a mild form of autism. One of the biggest flaws of this film is that it is trying to be too much. I have never seen such a long movie that says nothing and goes nowhere. It tries to be a story about tragedy and grief, but just comes off and preachy

and annoying instead. It also comes off as a little disrespectful. Thousands of lives were lost on September 11 and instead of honoring them, this film fictionalizes them and tries to add a layer of humanity to a day that does not need fictionalization to be tragic. Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close also tries to be a character study and delve into the mind of a grieving, autistic child. The problem is that it never really gives us anything to help us understand Oskar or to even feel for him. Most of the movie just leaves the audience thinking how badly the child needs therapy and wondering why he is not getting the help her clearly needs. The film also tries to create a sense of unity and connection. So many people were touched by September 11, but more than that, people are connected by life, love and loss. We all experience these things and this is something that the film tries to convey. It does so in such a thin and diluted way though, that the idea is almost completely lost. There are entire characters that should have emotional impact and help move the story forward, but do nothing. They seem to just be there to take up screen time and add another name to the credits. The last storyline of the film involved the mystery of the key. I cannot say much about it without giving it away, except to say that it is not worth the two hours. Even the order of the scenes seem to make no sense. The movie attempts to tell the story in a non-linear style. This does work in most films because it helps to build anticipation and reveals key information at the most emotionally effective

time. Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close does not do this though. Instead, I think they just threw all of their scenes in a hat and pulled them out randomly. Whatever order they came out of the hat in, was the order it hit the screen. Unfortunately, there is really not much good I can say about Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. Even the name of the movie is horrible (yes it is the name of the book, but that does not make it good title.) There is even a joke that the film should be renamed Extremely Pretentious and Incredibly Lame. That is a pretty good summary. The only good scene in Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close came courtesy of Sandra Bullock as Oskar’s grieving mother. In her first film since her Oscar winning role in The Blind Side, (which is a way better movie then this!) Bullock proves yet again she has serious acting talent. Fifteen good minutes is not worth an entire two hours though and if you do go see this film, you will know exactly what scene I am talking about. Overall, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close was a weak film. It tried to do too much, but did not do any of it very well. If you want to see a movie about a young boy solving a mystery, go see Hugo instead (it should be out on DVD soon). If you want a film about grief, check out Daldry’s other work The Hours. If you are interested in September 11, there are any number of films or documentaries that do a better job capturing the emotion. If autism interests you, check out Temple Grandin instead, actually you should watch that movie anyhow, it is amazing, unlike this film which is extremely long and incredibly dull.

Governor’s Budget Can Help Build a Stronger Business Climate Written by Todd J. Tranum, President & CEO of the Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce & Executive Director of the Manufacturers Association of the Southern Tier On the heels of a State of the State Address that sent a strong, positive signal to New York’s business community, Governor Andrew Cuomo delivered a budget message this past week that backed

up his call for a stronger state economic climate. The Governor’s proposed 2012-13 budget closes a $3.5-billion deficit and sends the message that New York is ready to turn around its sagging economy. Among the top priorities addressed are economic development, government reform, and mandate relief – all necessary items to make New York state business-friendly.

Market Your Business A key part of the value of your Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce membership is the opportunity to market your products and services to both members and non-members through the Chamber web site and other Chamber offerings. As more and more people turn to the Internet to do business, the Chamber has done more to improve its web presence. In 2011 more than 11,000 unique individuals visited the Chautauqua Chamber web site, with over 70,000 page views. As that number continues to increase, the Chamber is doing more to provide its members with opportunities to advertise on the web.

Web site advertising through the Chamber is easy, affordable, and can be customized to suit your needs. Opportunities include advertising on the Chamber home page, the VOICE newsletter page, and in several other locations. Ad space is also available through the Chamber’s weekly email summary. Additional opportunities for advertising and sponsorship are available throughout the year to Chamber members. Marketing is just one of the valuable benefits of Chamber membership. To learn more, call the Chamber office at 484-1101 or 366-6200, or visit the Chamber web site at www. chautauquachamber.org.

Through development of a comprehensive blueprint for economic development, the budget would create publicprivate partnerships that leverage state resources to improve infrastructure and support regionally-based economic strategies. Nearly $1.2-billion is appropriated for investments in economic development projects and programs. One of the most critical

governmental reform measures outlined in the executive budget calls for restructuring the state’s Medicaid program.

ing state spending and state and local taxes. In addition, the Governor is calling for a continued reorganization of state government agencies in order to eliminate program duplication and consolidate functions. Sweeping reforms to reduce the burden of state mandates on local governments are also in order. These measures, including Medicaid relief, pension reform, and the reform

of early intervention and preschool special education, are all aimed at reducing property taxes at the local level. All of these changes are directed towards improving the overall economy in New York State. We welcome these moves and additional steps outlined by Governor Cuomo to demonstrate that the Empire State is once again “Open for Business.”

The Resource Center’s Health Services Receives National Recognition Contributed Article TRC

The Resource Center’s Health Services in Jamestown has been recognized as a Level 3 Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) by the National Committee for Quality Assurance, a designation given to the most innovative primary medical care programs that provide the highest quality care to their patients. There are three levels of PCMH recognition, with Level 3 being the highest level of achievement. “I want to thank the entire Health Services team, as well as my management team,” said Stephen Riczker, TRC’s Director of Health and Health-Related Services. “The quality services provided by our physicians, our nursing staff and our support staff were instrumental in helping us to achieve this high level of care and quality. I am very proud to be associated with such a wonderful medical clinic and am equally proud of the staff.” Practices recognized as a Patient Centered Medical Home must demonstrate that they provide a highly coordinated approach to patient care based on the following principles that have been defined by a joint effort of the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Family Physicians, the American College of Physicians and the American Osteopathic Association: Each patient has an ongoing relationship with a personal physician trained to provide first contact, continuous and comprehensive care. The personal physician leads a team of individuals at the practice level who collectively take responsibility for the

ongoing care of patients. The personal physician is responsible for providing for all of the patient’s health care needs or taking responsibility for appropriately arranging care with other qualified professionals. This includes care for all stages of life; acute care; chronic care; preventive services; and end-of-life care. Care is coordinated and/or integrated across all elements of the complex health care system (e.g., subspecialty care, hospitals, home health agencies, nursing homes) and the patient’s community (e.g., family, public and private community-based services). Care is facilitated by patient registries, information technology, health information exchange and other means to assure that patients get the indicated care when and where they need and want it in a culturally and linguistically appropriate manner. Quality and safety are hallmarks of the medical home model. PCMH practices advocate for their patients to support the attainment of optimal, patient-centered outcomes that are defined by a care-planning process driven by a partnership among physicians, patients and the patient’s family. Evidencebased medicine and clinical decision-support tools guide decision making. Physicians accept accountability for continuous quality improvement through voluntary engagement in performance measurement and improvement. Patients actively participate in decision making, and feedback is sought to ensure patients’ expectations are being met. Information technology is utilized to support optimal patient care, performance measurement, patient education and enhanced communication. Patients and

families participate in quality improvement activities at the practice level. Last year, thanks to a grant from the Ralph C. Sheldon Foundation, The Resource Center’s Health Services implemented an electronic medical record. The next phase is to establish a patient portal that will enable patients to view their medical records online, schedule appointments online and interact electronically with The Resource Center’s medical practitioners. These innovations are also key elements of the Patient Centered Medical Home model. The electronic medical record is currently being expanded to integrate with the other clinical services provided at The Resource Center to allow for higher quality and fully coordinated care. One of the other benefits to The Resource Center of achieving PCMH recognition is that health insurers will reimburse The Resource Center at a higher rate, since the

PCMH accreditation indicates that The Resource Center’s Health Services is recognized as an excellent health care provider. This increased reimbursement will help shrink the gap between the cost of providing such high-level services and current reimbursement rates, which are less than adequate to support current operations. “This is a significant achievement for The Resource Center and will lead to enhanced payments for the services we provide,” Riczker said of the PCMH recognition. “We are in very exclusive company, with only two other providers in Chautauqua County meeting these requirements at this time.” Another move toward highly coordinated care in The Resource Center’s Health Services was the recent addition of two master’s level social workers who provide care management and other support services to patients. Riczker added, “This is just one more way that The Re-

source Center will continue to excel in the provision of medical care to the residents of our community.” The Resource Center’s Health Services Office is located at 890 East Second Street. Established more than 20 years ago to serve the complex medical needs of people with developmental disabilities, the practice later expanded to offer its services to the entire community. In recent years, more people have been using The Resource Center’s doctors as their primary care physicians, and the number of patients is expected to rise now that The Resource Center has received Patient Centered Medical Home recognition. The Resource Center’s Health Services is part of a comprehensive Diagnostic & Treatment Center operated by the agency. Health Services physicians include Dr. Adnan Munir, who is the medical director of the Diagnostic & Treatment Center; Dr. Mumtaz Karimi and Dr. Thomas Putnam. The physicians, along with the skilled nursing staff, form a cohesive team of providers that serve children and adults in a sensitive, caring and professional manner. “This designation is a stamp of approval that identifies The Resource Center as being an excellent health care practice,” said Munir upon learning of the PCMH recognition from the National Committee for Quality Assurance. “We have been providing an excellent level of service all along. This accreditation is a validation of the quality of care that has been provided to patients at The Resource Center Primary Care throughout the years.”

TRC’s Diagnostic & Treatment Center also provides dental services at locations on Second Street in Jamestown and on Central Avenue in Dunkirk. In addition, other health-related services (audiology, occupational therapy, physical therapy, podiatry and speech therapy) are available at locations on Jones & Gifford Avenue in Jamestown and on Lake Shore Drive in Dunkirk. For more information about TRC’s Health Services or any of the services offered through the Diagnostic & Treatment Center, phone 483-2344. The National Committee for Quality Assurance is dedicated to improving health care quality. Since its founding in 1990, NCQA has helped drive improvement throughout the health care system. NCQA has helped to build consensus around health care quality issues by working with large employers, policymakers, doctors, patients and health plans to decide what is important, how to measure it and how to promote improvement.

Energy Workshop

Contributed Article CCIDA

Chautauqua County will host a free Renew Chautauqua County Home Energy Workshop January 26, 2012, 7:00-8:30 PM at Jamestown Community College (JCC) Carnahan Training & Conference Center to help residents understand programs available to help them reduce energy use and annual energy costs by an average of $700. Chautauqua County residents will learn about Home Performance with ENERGY STAR®, a New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) program that uses a ìwholehouseî comprehensive energy assessment approach to help residents save energy. They will be able to sign up for free or reduced-cost energy assessment, cash-back incentives and low-cost financing options from NYSERDA for making energy-efficiency improvements to their homes.

The evening will feature opening remarks from Bill Daly - Director, Chautauqua County Dept. of Planning & Economic Development. Expert presentations will be made by Renew Chautauqua County; Western NY Energy $mart Communities Program, an Independent Contractor to NYSERDA to perform customer outreach; and the Jamestown BPU. Local Home Performance with ENERGY STAR contractors, and providers of home improvement and renewable energy systems, will be on-hand so residents can network, learn more from experts and even sign up for a free or reduced cost home energy assessment following the presentations. The meeting will also focus on available cash incentives and low-interest loans from NYSERDA, as well as other opportunities available from Jamestown BPU, National Fuel Gas, National Grid, NYSEG, and the Federal Government. To sign up and be qualified for a free audit, residents should

bring their utility bill account number, a copy of a recent bill, or a record of their past 12 months of energy use. The energy assessment is available through Green Jobs - Green New York, a statewide program that uses revenue from the sale of carbon emission credits to support energy efficiency measures and jobs in the clean energy sector. All Chautauqua County homeowners are encouraged to attend the workshop. Each of the first 100 Chautauqua County residents to preregister and attend the event will receive a free Compact Fluorescent Light (CFL) bulb. Just one ENERGY STAR qualified CFL lasts up to 10 times longer than a traditional light bulb and can save you $70 over the life of the bulb. Pre-register for the workshop at www.RenewChautauquaCounty.org or call toll free at 1-866-495-2959. Walk-ins are welcome.

Students enrolled in the Cosmetology Program and members of the National Technical Honor Society at the Erie 2-Chautauqua-Cattaraugus BOCES LoGuidice Educational Center in Fredonia donated holiday gifts and nearly twodozen baskets filled with food to families in need during the holiday season. As part of the Cosmetology Program’s annual holiday food drive, and with assistance from NTHS members, juniors and seniors who attend classes for part of the day at the LoGuidice Center collected canned goods, boxed food, turkeys, and other grocery items to donate to families in the Dunkirk and Fredonia area who have fallen on hard times.

Several dozen baskets were filled with food and given directly to the families in the days leading up to the holidays, along with wrapped presents for children. In addition to collecting donations directly, a variety of activities were held to generate support for the fundraiser. One of the fundraising events was a school dance, which required donations for admission. The dance was DJed by LoGuidice Center staff member Hector Alverio, owner of Star Productions of Dunkirk, who donated his services and equipment for the event. The Dunkirk/Fredonia Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill also pitched in, hosting a pancake breakfast at the restaurant with all proceeds going toward the food drive. The generosity of students and staff at the LoGuidice Center as well as local clubs, busi-

nesses and the community once again made the holiday fundraising drive a success, according to Cosmetology Teacher Lori Sam and MaryAnn Basile, academic liaison and NTHS advisor at the LoGuidice Center. Both faculty members and their students expressed their gratitude to all those who made the holiday fundraiser such a success. “This was just another example of how active the LoGuidice Center is in the community and all the things our students do to make our communities better places to call home. They really do a wonderful job. Best of all, these activities are terrific learning experiences for our students, and that helps us fulfill our fundamental goal – positioning our students for full and successful lives after graduation,” said LoGuidice Center Principal Jose Pagan.

I wish I had printed them with a white border for another “layer” that I could also add ink to rather than making them full-size, but I didn’t want to lose even the tiniest grain of sand in the focal point photo.

of His promises. Jesus told us that one of the Holy Spirit’s duties is to put us in remembrance of all the promises the God has given to us (John 14:26). When you are standing on a scripture you are actually taking a faith stand. When we talk about faith, we are talking about choosing to believe what God says in His Word. When we ask God for something using His Own words, we need to believe that God

will answer our prayers. Why must we believe? Because God tells us to! Jesus says in Mark 11:24 that “…whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.” The world says that I will believe it when I see it; God tells us that we will see it when we believe it! Next week…more on praying in faith.

from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils.” We have forgotten to look behind the veil and see that there are forces pulling on people that we cannot see. The Bible tells us that there are certain demonic agents that are assigned to persuade people off the right path. These spirits seduce as to make the “grass seem greener” on the other side. These spirits will try to convince you that another woman would satisfy you more than your wife. These spirits will tell you that a life of premarital sex is better than living for God. These spirits will do everything in

their power to make serving God seem lonely. They make worldliness seem appealing. These spirits try to make the temporal seem eternal. A person that is filled with God’s Word and Spirit can identify such things and bring help to a person under the influence of seducing spirits. This is why every Christian needs a strong pastor. Also, in my experience, every person I have spoken to that fell to these spirits, all testify that they spent very little personal time in prayer and Bible study.

Scrapbooking Today By Anne Walterich Contributing Writer

Using Ink to Create Layers and Depth on a Flat Page It’s been 24 days since I’ve started “Project : Annie,” my altered book version of Becky Higgins’ “Project : Life.” The daily documentation of ordinary existence has been both breathtaking and boring, which is how life tends to be. One of the more difficult aspects of the project has been actually taking the time to create pages every few days. I haven’t always been able to do this, because any of us who actually has a life can’t always carve out the time to make even a simple layout. Thankfully, the metadata in digital photos at least gives me somewhere to start as far as dates and times, and since I’m not too far removed from the actual events of the day I can fill in the journaling. The hardest part of this longterm project, though, is based upon the format I picked for the year. Since I like to include ephemera, embellishments and 3-D objects on 12” X 12” pages,

my albums tend to get very thick and bulky. The finite size of the altered book doesn’t allow for that kind of accessorizing. Even adding patterned paper thickens the book, so I’m trying to keep the addition of layers to a minimum. It’s only January, and there’s a long way to go in this dragon of a leap year. I experimented with background stamping for this layout as a way to add layers and depth without the bulk of additional paper stressing the book’s spine. Using my new Stampendous Circle Shadow stamp from the 70% off bin at Scrapbooks, Etc. in Bonita Springs, FL, I created a polkadot pattern on my pages that allowed the book’s text to show through, with the imperfection of the stamping giving it additional texture. The Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Antique Linen and Close To My Heart inks in Smoothie, Sky, Pear, Gypsy, Sunset, Lagoon and Pacifica gave a subtle rainbow of shades without clashing. I added a scrap of translucent white paper with a fibrous texture that showed the background, and also served as a

mat for the light-colored photo and date rub-ons in Making Memories Hudson Tangerine. The “low” part of the title came from Heidi Swapp’s Invisible Stickers in Downtown Dot, colored in the Smoothie shade of ink. I like that these white stickers are meant to be colored, not only to showcase the raised pattern, but also to adapt to several different layouts without being inhibited by a fixed shade. The “Tide” letters are the inside portion of Plaid’s 4” letter stencils that I originally bought to identify our trash cans. This part would ordinarily be discarded, yet the

shade and thickness were perfect for a large title. I inked the edges in Sky to bring them out even further, but wish I used a darker shade for the full effect. I wrote the journaling in a Micron pen directly on top of the title letters, since I kept smudging the ink on the leftover glossy paper from printing my photos I had planned to use as my journaling block. It adds another layer, but I hate my handwriting so I don’t love the way it looks. It reads “An earlymorning walk on Fort Myers Beach allowed Jim and I to see things that we would ordinarily not be awake for, like the

Keeping the Faith

By Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church of Chautauqua County

Dear Pastor, it seems that my prayers don’t get answered. What am I doing wrong?

Last week we looked at the possible hindrance of praying outside of God’s will. We examined the first part of this hindrance…praying with wrong motives. We saw that we must be able to go to God in prayer with a clean heart and be prepared to ask forgiveness when we are “out of order.” This week we will examine another aspect of praying in His will…using scriptures as a foundation for faith.

When someone comes to me for spiritual direction and declares that they aren’t getting their prayers answered, I always ask, “What scripture are you standing on?” This means that you have found a scripture in the Bible that is the answer to your prayer. For example, if you are sick and want to be better, you may use Psalms 103:2-3, “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits, (3) Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases.”

You may want to memorize it, write this scripture down and tape it to your refrigerator, and repeat it during the day. This is “standing on a scripture.” Remember, scriptures are God’s promises to His children. When you are praying using His own Word, you are praying His perfect will back to Him, and this guarantees the results! God has to perform His Word because Jesus said that the Word of God is truth (John 17:17). It is not arrogant to remind God

Weekly Word Seducing Spirits

Rev. Tim Stahlman Family Church of the Southern Tier

Have you ever known someone of great Christian character who later fell into a lifestyle of licentiousness or debauchery? The national media salivates at the opportunity to report on a fallen minister. Every local com-

munity has their stories of once great local churches that were ripped apart by scandals in the pastorate. You may even know laymen servants who were once so dedicated to church and family who are now not even a reflection of their former selves. As a pastor, I can personally testify that I have witnessed wonderful Christian people cast away their faith in exchange for something that just yesterday was unimaginable to them. I have had the “salt of the earth” sit across from me and lie with an ungodly talent that surpasses the best poker player in the world. Typically,

we often think that such a person’s faith was never real in the first place. We usually concede their entire Christian experience as bunk. Most Christians are willing to throw such a brother or sister on the spiritual junk heap without ever considering how this happened in the first place. Be careful: You may become who you are willing to attack. Galatians 6:1 says, “Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, YOU WHICH ARE SPIRITUAL, restore such a one in the spirit of meekness, CONSIDERING YOURSELVES, LEST YOU ALSO BE TEMPTED.” I have seen

this too many times. People go on a witch hunt for the brother or sister that fell. This just proves how unspiritual people are. Truly spiritual people first think of how to restore a fallen brother. Then they consider themselves, they examine their own lives, and learn to take heed knowing that it just as easily could have been them. This is what we have failed to understand: Some of these cases were the result of a person giving heed to seducing spirits. 1 Timothy 4:1 says, “Now the Holy Spirit speaks expressly that in the latter times, some shall depart

Q&A

Let your cat win laser pointer game Q: Are laser pointers safe? My cat really goes crazy when I get his out to play. — via email A: As with so many other things, I have to give an answer and a caveat. For many cats, laser pointers are wonderful for getting in a good workout. For indoor cats, especially, pretty much anything that gets a cat moving is a good thing. But for some cats, these toys have been blamed for the development of compulsive behaviors, such as excessive grooming. The worry most people have regarding safety is about the laser itself. Of course you shouldn’t shine the light into your pet’s eyes (or your own) on purpose, but you don’t have to worry if the beam hits an eye for a split-second in play. The potential problem with these toys comes because the cat can never “win” the game. Even if a cat catches the moving dot, there’s nothing there. The cat gets all worked up with no resolution — every time. Even in the wild, a hunting cat will catch the prey now and then. But there’s no catching that alluring, fast-moving red dot! Although most cats will wind down from their hunting high with no harm done, some will redirect their frustration in ways that can hurt themselves or others. There’s an easy way out of the problem, however. After you’ve used the laser pointer to exhaust your cat (up and down stairs can be fun — StairMaster for cats!), switch to a toy that can be caught and “killed,” such as one on the end of a fishing pole, or a stuffed mouse. Your cat can then wind down with the satisfaction of having won the game, with “dead prey” to show for his hunting prowess. — Dr. Marty Becker Do you have a pet question?

FUREVER FRIENDS Now’s a great time to adopt an adult cat

Domesticated rats can be good pets

By Gina Spadafori Universal Uclick

ave you thought about adopting a cat this year? Whether you are looking for your first cat, a companion cat to one you already love or an addition to a busy, active household, now’s a great time to bring home a shelter cat. If you think of shelters as gloom-and-doom places, you might be surprised at the changes in many shelter facilities. For cats, especially, the days of sterile, stacked steel cages are giving way to colony cat rooms, where the animals can relax and show off their loving personalities. Still, I know going to a shelter can be overwhelming, since you can’t take them all home. But if you think about what you’re looking for in a cat, go in with a plan, and listen to your heart and your head, I bet you’ll find the adoption option is easier and more rewarding than you think. There are advantages to adopting from a shelter, and saving money is one of them. Adult pets are usually spayed or neutered before they’re made available for adoption, and that’s real savings. The cats you see usually also have been vet-checked, vaccinated and, in some shelters, evaluated for temperament. In many shelters you’ll find staff members and volunteers who are familiar with each cat’s personality and can tell you which ones are lap-sitters, which are playful, which ones like kids and dogs, and which ones would rather live without them. Another plus is the variety of cats you can find: longhaired, shorthaired, tabby, calico and sometimes even pedigreed cats, especially popular breeds such as Siamese and Persian. Yes, that’s right: If you’ve always dreamed of having a chatty Siamese, you can find one in a shelter, especially if you broaden your search by using Petfinder.com. Want more reasons to adopt from a shelter? Many shelter cats are already familiar with home life because that’s where they came from, often ending up in a shelter through no fault of their own — especially in this economy. They’re cool around kids or dogs, and they know the litter box routine. I’m no fan of declawing, but if you believe you must have a cat who is declawed, there’s a good chance you can find one at a shelter. Before you go, get a picture in your head about what you want in a cat. Lap-sitter or lively? Cool with kids and dogs? Chatty or quiet? Some shelters start with adoption counseling first, then introduce you to the cats who are the best matches. Other shelters give you a chance to look the cats over and visit with them first, then help you choose the one cat who’s right for you. And if your shelter doesn’t have adoption counseling? Look beyond the cute and think of the home you’re providing. If yours is a threering circus with boisterous children and lots of

Because of their unsavory reputation, rats are often overlooked as pets.

No matter your family situation or the kind of cat you hope to find, you can find your next pet at the shelter. other animals, you’ll want to consider those bold, friendly cats who seem to be handling the shelter environment well. If you have a quiet home, look to the shy cats who may just need time to relax and look around in a new home. That cat can also be a good choice if you enjoy the feline presence but would prefer not to have one who’s “in your face” all the time. Most important, look past appearance and “see” with your heart what’s really there. Behind a plain-vanilla exterior of a cat who has been overlooked by so many, you may discover a sweet pet with the purrfect personality. Those cats are the keepers, no matter what they look like. Which leads me to the best reason of all for adopting a cat from a shelter: that warm, fuzzy, tingly glow you get from giving a home to a cat in need and hearing him purr as he settles into his new digs — after you get your veterinarian to check him over of course! (Video bonus: Training expert Mikkel Becker shows how to teach your dog that running away is not acceptable (vetstreet/ train/how-to-keep-yourdog-from-running-away)

• Rats can be clever, playful and affectionate pets, perfect not only for responsible older children, but also for open-minded adults. When purchased or adopted from reputable sources and kept in good health, these pets usually live two to three years. Domesticated rats come in many colors and patterns and can learn tricks as easily as many dogs. • Raw vegetables and fruits are a wonderful treat for dogs. Veterinarians often recommend carrots and apple slices as a substitute for commercial treats, especially for dogs who are pudgy. (Another easy weight-loss trick involving vegetables: Substitute thawed green beans for part of your dog’s daily food ration. They’ll make your pet feel full without adding much in the way of calories.) Not all fruits and vegetables are good for your dog, though, and some may even be toxic. The absolute no-no’s include raisins and grapes, avocados, onions and many nuts. When in doubt, ask your veterinarian or visit the ASPCA’s Animal Poison Control Center online (aspca.org/apcc). • We all know that yawning is contagious among people, but dogs can also “catch” our yawns. When dogs yawn on their own, they’re more likely doing it in an effort to relieve stress than to signify that naptime is coming. — Mikkel Becker and Dr. Marty Becker

With Different Faces, Drake’s Red Raiders Continue To Win By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

Another game, another win. Ho-hum. It’s quickly becoming second nature for the Jamestown Red Raiders boys basketball team who improved to 10-1 this season with a 75-49 win over West Seneca West last weekend. It’s now been nearly an entire year since Jamestown last lost a game against a Section VI opponent and the Red Raiders are now consistently putting the game out of reach well before the fourth quarter even starts. “Even I’m surprised by some of the scores,” head coach Ben Drake said. “I see these games and I think we’re a little better than some of the teams, but not 30 points better.” Outside of their tournament in Westchester, Jamestown is 9-0 with an average winning margin of 25.8 points per game. Williamsville North (also the last Section VI team to beat Jamestown) was the only team that kept it under 10 — at nine. Sure, Jamestown was the class of Western New York last year, but lost more than enough talent that figured to leave this year’s squad to struggle, at least a little bit. That, of course, hasn’t been the case. “It really dates back to last spring/ summer,” Drake said. “Our players were very committed in the offseason. Everyone made individual improvements and that’s carried into making us a better team overall.” In particular, Drake mentioned standout junior point guard Tommy Campion and seniors Adam Cecchini and Kareem Walker. “Tommy was really a role player for us last year,” Drake said. “He’s now

Jamestown head coach Ben Drake has led his team to a 65-15 record since the beginning of the 2008-09 season. The Red Raiders are at it again this season, starting 10-1. (Star File Photo).

emerged as our leader and is really an explosive scorer.” Those three were the returning core group for the Red Raiders, who were hit hard by graduation — and a transfer. But, that group’s work ethic played into a younger, talented group of sophomores. “I think that’s what you need to have to be a good program,” Drake said. “The younger guys learn from the older guys and it starts there. They show them what it takes both on and off the court and to have the right intensity level.” It’s been a good run for Jamestown over the past few years and even more so Drake, who has quietly turned the Red Raiders into the class of ECIC I and AA basketball in Western New York.

Jamestown is now 65-15 since the beginning of the 2008-09 season and have won back-to-back sectional titles. It’s not just Niagara Falls in Section VI anymore and part of that success has begun to set in on Drake’s current players. “I think the success of the basketball program over the past few years has played into the confidence level of this team,” Drake said. “The younger guys have seen this team be great and that makes them expect to be successful. I think that’s a huge reason for our success so far this season.” But, Drake isn’t getting ahead of himself, nor is he letting his team. “I’ve been impressed with the way this team can go on some runs and turn close games into 20-point games,” he said. “But we have tough road games ahead and need to work

hard everyday in practice.” Perhaps a little gamesmanship, but the Red Raiders do have to go to Clarence Friday and take on arguably the second-best team in the division. Jamestown waxed the Red Devils by 21 last Tuesday (Jan. 17), but Clarence will be hungry for a win after dropping a close game to Lancaster just two days after that beating. Jamestown also has to go play at Williamsville North Feb. 3, the site of their aforementioned last loss against a Section VI team. Going undefeated in league play — which doesn’t seem far-fetched at all — isn’t on their minds, though. “We don’t talk about that much at all,” Drake said. “I think we’d be disappointed to lose a league game, but we’re just trying to continue to work and play hard.” As far as a possible three-peat, a possible title rematch with Niagara Falls seems like an imminent meeting. “We’ll see, but hopefully it does, we’d love to be able to play them [in the championship],” Drake said. For now, it’s business as usual, though, for Jamestown. Drake continuously repeated how much work his team still has to do and how they need to focus on playing their best basketball come March. It’s hard to believe this isn’t Jamestown’s best basketball right now, but if the Red Raiders can improve, look out. “In order to win at Buff State (site of playoffs) you have to put it together for a full game,” Drake said. “We’ve been able to put teams away, but it’s not going to be like that every game. I’m still interested in seeing how our team responds to adversity that I’m sure we’ll see at some point this season.”

St. Bonaventure Sports Information

ST. LOUIS — The U.S. Basketball Writers Association has selected St. Bonaventure guard Jessica Jenkins as its Women's National Player of the Week for games ending the week of Sunday, Jan. 22. As the Atlantic 10 Conference Player of the Week, Jenkins was nominated for the weekly award, which was chosen by a representative of the USBWA board of directors from a list of Division I conference players of the week. Jenkins, a 5-8 senior from Marion, Ohio, set the Atlantic 10 record for career 3-pointers at 293 after she knocked down six as part of the 23 points she scored in Saturday's win at Charlotte. She also had 18 points

and four 3-pointers in the previous win over Richmond last Wednesday. She is the Bonnies' leading scorer with a 14.7 average and is fifth in the Atlantic 10 in scoring, helping the Bonnies (18-2, 5-0 Atlantic 10) to first place in the conference. This is the first season that the USBWA has selected a women's national player of the week. The weekly national player of the week is added to the award's watch list, which will be released at mid-season. Since the 1987-88 season, the USBWA has named a National Player of the Year. At the conclusion of the regular season, the USBWA will name finalists for the award, which is voted on by the entire membership of the USBWA.

FREDONIA, N.Y. — Fredonia State completed its weekend sweep of SUNYAC opponents with a 4-2 home win Saturday night over the Geneseo Ice Knights. Four different players accounted for goals as the Blue Devils improved to 9-63 overall and 4-3-3 in the conference. Corbin Rosmarin scored both Geneseo goals, the second coming with just 32 seconds remaining. The loss dropped the Ice Knights to 10-9 overall, 4-6 in the SUNYAC. Mark Friesen made 29 saves for the Blue Devils. He earned both wins during the weekend, including a 4-2 decision over Brockport on Friday night. Adam Rubeniuk had 26 saves for Geneseo. Brett Mueller opened the scoring

with his third goal of the season at 11:30 of the second period when he muscled the puck past Rubeniuk. The Ice Knights threatened to tie the game yet had a shot deflect off the crossbar. They also hit the post three times, once in the first period and twice more in the second, before Rosmarin found the net at 18:16 of the second period. Fredonia State quickly regained the lead on a goal by Bill Sanborn, his fifth of the year, with 36 seconds left in the second period. The play began in the defensive end and the Blue Devils rushed the puck up ice. Sanborn ended the rush with a quick backhander following a pretty feed from a teammate. The Blue Devils opened a 3-1 lead when Mike Muhs scored on a rebound at 3:45 of the third period. It was his fifth of the year. Mat Hehr Continued on pg 3

Southwestern Looks To Shake Off First League Loss

By Chris Winkler

While Jan. 31 will mark the last scheduled meeting between Dunkirk and Olean, don’t be surprised if it isn’t the last time the two schools meet this season. The Marauders and Huskies, each 11-1, might be the top two teams across Section VI’s Class B. Olean, widely considered as one of the best teams across the entire state in Class B — currently ranked No. 3 according the latest New York State Sportswriters Poll — defeated Dunkirk 53-50 at SUNY Fredonia back on Dec. 19. Now the two teams will meet on the final day of January to determine what team will win CCAA I. Olean has Gowanda Thursday and Dunkirk plays Southwestern Saturday. It would be an upset if either school got tripped up before the showdown Tuesday. • Meanwhile, in CCAA II,

Bona Women Stay Under The Radar

Chris Winkler COMMENTARY

In the shadow of the men’s program for it’s entire existence, the St. Bonaventure o women’s basketball team has ile, rarely garnered much attention. Even while the program and had made three straight WNIT appearances, most of ble- the chatter around Olean and Western New York was the n return of Andrew Nicholson New for his senior season. so- Granted, Olean is St. Boon naventure men’s hoops. And A while many were hoping for st that breakthrough season, the are men’s team has gone through ald an up-and-down season that many probably see as a disappointment. Remember, the Bonnies theme for the 2011-12 was “Defining Our Legacy.” Well, a lasting legacy is W-L certainly being left on Bob 7-0 Lanier Court. 6-2 It’s the St. Bonaventure women, who after beating Char5-3 lotte Saturday while overcom5-3 ing a 13-point second half deficit moved to 18-2 and 5-0 3-4 in the Atlantic 10. 3-5 Their lone losses are to 2-6 nationally ranked Delaware, 0-8 who boasts the nation’s top scorer and arguably best player, and Villanova, where the Bonnies shot a seasonlow 28 percent. W-L They own wins over St. John’s and West Virginia, two of 8-0 the better teams in the Big 6-1 East, and traditional MAAC powerhouse Marist. 5-2 Of course, the Bonnies stay 5-3 underappreciated, nationally 4-3 at least. 1-6 A team that was shunned in 1-8 the preseason with a sixth place prediction by A-10 0-7 coaches has still yet to garner the national attention they deserve. They still haven’t cracked the Top 25 in either the Associated Press or USA Today polls. And until this week, the Bonnies were continuously given one or two votes in the AP and completely left out of the USA Today poll. Meanwhile, the Bonnies have an RPI of 26 (as of Jan. 23) and are considered the No. 19 team in the country according to wbbstate.com (statistical analysis of college basketball). They own four RPI-Top 50 wins and their two losses are both in the RPI-Top 15. For a team not considered in the upper echelon of their own conference, the Bonnies have emerged as the clearcut top team in the Atlantic 10 and practically a lock to make the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history. Credit head coach Jim Crowley first and foremost. Crowley took over in 2000-01 for a team that had only finished above .500 four times since joining Division I in 198687 and had never won more than 16 games.

Now, the Bonnies have won 20 or more three seasons in a row and will clearly get there again this year. Now, the only question is how many wins will the Bonnies get and whether or not they’ll get crack the NCAA Tournament and the Top 25 for the first time in school history. Part of Crowley’s success of course relies on his players. Plenty of solid players have come through the program over the past decade under Crowley, but arguably two of the best, seniors Jessica Jenkins and Megan Van Tatenhove, are preparing to leave a legacy that assuredly won’t ever be forgotten in Olean. Jenkins just became the Atlantic 10’s all-time leader in three-pointers made in a career. She hit six three’s against Charlotte to give her 293, passing former Bonnie Suzie Dailer and George Washington’s Cathy Jones who each had 291. Jenkins leads the team at 14.7 points per game and shoots 40.1 percent from outside. She also shoots a ridiculous 95.5 percent from the free throw line, good for 12th in the nation behind 11 players who haven’t missed and haven’t shot a whole lot of them either. Van Tatenhove, who shoots a team-high 49.7 percent from the field is the only other player averaging double-figures in points. She is already in the top 10 for career scoring leaders at St. Bonaventure and is the all-around perfect complement to Jenkins. She also missed four games this season including one of their two losses. Of course, when the two started their careers in Olean, the Bonnies had never won 20 games in a season. By the time they leave, they’ll have accomplished that feat each of the four seasons on campus. But, Crowley’s defense has also paved the way for success, especially with this year’s team. The Bonnies tallest player is little-used reserve Jennie Ashton, a 6-foot2 senior who is averaging a career-high 12 minutes per game this year. Instead the Bonnies basically put out a lineup that ensures each player can do a little bit of everything. Six different Bonnies average at least one assist per game, while the team as a whole averages exactly 10 a game. The Bonnies have just nine regular season games left and have still yet to hit the easier part of the schedule. They still have to play UMass, Xavier, Fordham and Rhode Island, the bottom four teams in the Atlantic 10 right now. Temple and Charlotte each only have one A-10 loss, which each came at the hands of the Bonnies on their own home court. Safe to say this team has the capability of reaching 25 wins even before the conference tournament, and after that, who knows. This team is ticketed for the NCAA Tournament for the first time in program history. Defining legacy? Yeah, I think they’ll be able to do that.

Baseball Legend O’Neil To Be Inducted Into County Hall Of Fame

Contributed Article Chautauqua Sports HOF

John O’Neil of Jamestown will be the oldest inductee placed in Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame at the organization’s 31st annual induction dinner on Feb. 20 at the Lakewood Rod & Gun Club. The other five inductees to be honored that night are Betty Bartkowiak, the late Ben Bishop, Jim McElrath, Greg Peterson and Bob Schmitt. O’Neil will be 92 on April 19 and it was on that date in 1920 when he was born in Shelbiana, Ky., and eventually made a name for himself in the field of baseball. Nicknamed Tip or Scooter, O’Neil learned baseball from his father, who was a semipro player and a railroad worker. O’Neil was involved in professional baseball for 45 years serving from 1939-1984 as player, player/manager, manager, general manager and scout. He started out his career in 1939 at Tallahassee, Fla., and Greeneville, Tenn. and in 1940 joined Winston-Salem, N.C., and Bristol, Va., before coming to Jamestown of the PONY League in 1941. O’Neil played shortstop for the Falcons, which won the PONY League title with a 68-42 record. He batted .285 over 109 games with 133 hits and 46 RBIs. He was named the Most Popular Jamestown Falcon by a vote of the fans while leading the league with 476 atbats and was a teammate of another Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame inductee, John Newman. While in Jamestown, O’Neil met Jeannette Swanson, who was the daughter of Ed Swanson, the owner of Ed’s Market on the corner of Second and Winsor Streets. They were married and enjoyed nearly 65 years of marriage before she passed away in 2008.

They had daughter, Bonnie, a 1963 Jamestown High School graduate. O’Neil played for Buffalo, Elmira and Pittsfield in 1942 and was an all-star shortstop at Pittsfield that year with a .297 average and led the league in fielding percentage with a .947. From 1943-1945, he spent three seasons in Portland where in 1945 he led the Pacific Coast League in putouts with 346, assists with 520 and fielding with .961. He also led in triples with 13 while batting at .288 clip and 88 RBIs. After seven seasons in minors, O’Neil got his chance in the major leagues with the Philadelphia Phillies in 1946. He was signed by Herb Pennock, the Phillies’ general manager, as the result of his fine season at Portland when he led them to pennant of the PCL. That was the year after World War II and there were 100 players in spring training where O’Neil made the team. He batted at a .266 clip in his only year in the majors with 25 hits in 94 at-bats with nine RBIs in 46 games. In 1947 and 1948, he spent two seasons at Seattle of the PCL and in 1947 he was an all-star with the Rainiers. He batted .272 with 171 hits and 66 RBIs in 172 games.

The next three years and part of a fourth year he spent time with Hollywood Stars, who were owned by several movie stars, which included Bing Crosby and Gene Autry. O’Neil continued to play in Hollywood and the fourth year spent most of 1952 in New Orleans. His minor league career in 1953 showed stops at Hollywood, San Francisco and Oakland of the PCL where he compiled a .249 average. In 1954, he played with the Salinas Packers and then came back to the Jamestown Falcons. Overall, O'Neil played in 1,804 minor league games and batted in the neighborhood of .260. O’Neil earned a degree from the University of Kentucky in 1955 and in 1956 he became the general manager of Valdosta (Ga.) Tigers. For the next few seasons he was a general manager with Montgomery, Ala., and was a scout for the Milwaukee Braves. He then assumed the role of general manager of the Jamestown Falcons in 1961 and in 1963 he was among four people to manage the Falcons. Over the next 20 years, O’Neil was a major league scout for the Milwaukee and Atlanta Braves. Also, he served in the same capacity

with Los Angeles Dodgers from 1974 through 1984. One of the players he scouted and signed was Mike Scioscia, who was a catcher for the Dodgers and is now the manager of the Anaheim Angels. He signed the outfielder Bill Robinson, who played for the New York Yankees, the Philadelphia Phillies and the Pittsburgh Pirates. O’Neill was honored by the Chautauqua Hall of Fame at Diethrick Park last summer with a white Falcons uniform top with No. 1 on his back, similar to the uniform he wore back in the 1940s. It was the 70th anniversary of Diethrick Park, then called Municipal Stadium, and O’Neil, lone survivor of the 1941 Jamestown team, was honored by throwing out the first pitch. 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.

BLUE DEVILS HOCKEY continued from pg 1 completed the scoring with his seventh goal of the season following a scramble in front of the Geneseo net. The win avenged a 2-1 Fredonia State loss when the teams met Oct. 29 at Geneseo. Friday, Fredonia rallied from a two-goal deficit en route to a 4-2 victory over the Brockport Golden Eagles. Jared Wynia put in the gamewinner at 5:52 of the third period. Bryan Ross scored into an empty net with 30 seconds remaining to complete a threepoint game. In the process, he moved into a tied for seventh in the Blue Devils' all-time scoring list. Mueller and Ben Waldman

had the other Blue Devil goals. Ian Finnerty and Brandon Rothfuss scored the Golden Eagles, who fell to 2-6-1 in the SUNYAC and 6-10-2 overall. Brockport took a 1-0 lead with a power-play goal at 17:08 of the first period -- although the puck actually occurred seconds earlier. With the Golden Eagles skating with a 5-on-3 advantage, a shot by Finnerty from near the right post touched off a celebration by he and his teammates. The officials, however, waved off the goal and let play continue. With the Golden Eagles still gathered in their offensive end, Fredonia State's Bradley Nunn skated in alone but was his breakaway shot

was stopped by Brockport goaltender Oliver Wren. That led to a stoppage in play, a meeting by the officials, and the award of Finnerty's goal — his 10th — despite protests by the Blue Devils. The Blue Devils were still in the midst of killing off a fiveminute major when Brockport scored a second powerplay goal. Rothfuss delivered with a wicked slapshot from the top of the right face-off circle. It was his fourth goal of the season. Fredonia State began its comeback when Mueller blocked a shot in the defensive end and scored on a breakaway at 6:06 of the second period. The unassisted goal was Mueller's second of the season.

Later in the second period, Ross set up the tying goal at 14:17 when he dragged the puck past a Brockport defender and fed Waldman as part of a 2-on-2 rush. It was Waldman's first goal of the year. Ross scored his empty-netter with 30 seconds remaining shortly after Brockport hit a post while skating with an extra man. It was Ross's ninth goal of the season and his 126th career point, which ties him with Gary Masocco for seventh on the all-time scoring list. The Blue Devils are back in action next Friday vs. Morrisville State for the annual Pink The Rink game.

Edwards looks to follow runner-up year with championship

t would seem that being the runner-up in the Sprint Cup points standings one year would bode well for that team the following year. But recent history has shown that the opposite is true, as this past year’s runner-up Carl Edwards knows all too well. The last driver to follow up a runner-up points finish with a title the next year was the current champ, Tony Stewart, who did that back in 2001 and 2002. It’s only happened 10 times in the history of the series. Since Stewart’s first championship, the runner-up spot has pretty much been a jinx for the next year. Mark Martin started the trend, finishing second in points to Stewart in ’02 and falling to 17th the next year. Jimmie Johnson finished second in ’03 and did so again in ’04, but dropped to fifth in ’05. Greg Biffle went from second in ’05 to 13th the next year. Matt Kenseth and Jeff Gordon were the next two runners-up, and both lost ground the following year. Edwards had a spectacular ’08 season, winning a series-high nine races. But he was a non-factor in ’09, going winless and dropping to 11th in points. Mark Martin won five times that year and finished second in the standings, but he went winless and dropped to 13th in 2010. The 2010 season was Denny Hamlin’s big year, as he won eight races and finished second in the standings. But last year was a disappointment, as he won once and fell to ninth in points. Carl Edwards ended the 2011 season tied for the championship with Tony Stewart, but lost the big trophy on the tie-breaking factor, race victories, as Stewart had five to his one. That leaves Edwards in essentially the same spot he was in back in 2008 as he heads into the 2012 season. But this time he has the benefit of the lessons learned the last go-round. “We have lived that, and it was really painful,” Edwards said. “I hope that that kind of takes us out of repeating that statistic.” Edwards agreed that the stats prove that success one year does not guarantee a thing

The Busch brothers, Kyle and Kurt, had their share of behavioral issues during the 2011 season, but that hasn’t prevented them from signing a sponsor to back their Nationwide Series racing this season. The brothers have announced a multi-year agreement with Monster Energy Company to sponsor their No. 54 Toyota in the Nationwide Series. The two will Kurt Busch (left) and Kyle Busch share driving (NASCAR photo) duties, with Kyle opening the season at Daytona International Speedway and running the next four races before splitting the balance of the season with Kurt, as the two compete for the Nationwide car owner championship.

Turn One Racing to run in Cup Former driver Stacy Compton and his Turn One Racing team have announced plans to campaign a Sprint Cup car in a limited schedule this season. The team plans to focus on the shorter tracks on the circuit, beginning their season at Phoenix International Raceway in the Subway Fresh Fit 500 on March 4. The team, which raced in the Camping World Truck Series last year with Cole Whitt doing the driving, will use race cars purchased from Richard Childress Racing. The driver and sponsor were not mentioned in the announcement.

A.E. stays as NASCAR sponsor American Ethanol will continue its sponsorship of NASCAR race teams in 2012, backing the No. 3 Chevrolet driven by Austin Dillon in the Nationwide Series for six races as well as one Sprint Cup start. American Ethanol also will be an associate sponsor on all the Richard Childress Racing cars in NASCAR. Kenny Wallace and his RAB Racing team also will be backed for five Nationwide races as well as their attempt to run the Daytona 500.

New Miss Sprint Cup named A new Miss Sprint Cup was introduced last week. Kristen Beat, of Jimmie Johnson’s hometown of El Cajon, Calif., joins returning Miss Sprint Cups Kim Coon of Orlando, Fla. and Jaclyn Roney of Ann Arbor, Mich.

Tony Stewart is introduced as he stands on his car during NASCAR After the Lap at The Joint inside the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino on December 1, 2011 in Las Vegas. (NASCAR photo) going forward. “That is the way this sport is,” he said. “We have made the mistake of resting on our laurels and focusing on a couple little things, but you can’t do that. You have to keep looking at everything.” One thing that is working against Edwards and his crew chief Bob Osborne this year is the change from four Cup teams to three at their Roush Fenway Racing organization. Losing the company’s No. 6 Ford on a fulltime, fully sponsored basis not only takes away total revenue from the organization, it means that some employees with knowledge of the team’s strategies and race car information have moved on to other teams and taken that information with them, as Edwards’ teammate Matt Kenseth pointed out. “I think we’ve lost some important people and some people – not on the 17 but within the organization – that had access to everything [and] are pretty much at every single different team throughout the garage,” he

said. “So I think anything you have that you maybe thought was an advantage through last year, things we learned, has certainly disappeared. “I think that’s going to make us have to work extra hard to be able to find something that’s a little bit better to try to get an edge on some of them guys again.” But finding that edge is something Edwards believes his team can do, even in a continually tough economic climate. “Jack [Roush] and [team general manager] Robbie [Reiser] are very smart racers, and they have both raced with nothing,” Edwards said. “They both had to prioritize for a large portion of their careers, and I would say that if it were a game of racing with the least amount of resources, those would be the guys you want … “I don’t think we have lost anything with engineering, all our simulation programs and the support from Ford, all of it stayed almost intact, and some of it has grown.”

2012 NASCAR Hall of Fame inductees lauded by family, friends, fans NUMERICALLY Some of the loudest applause at Friday’s induction ceremony for the third class of the NASCAR Hall of Fame was for the one inductee who wasn’t there. Rome, N. Y.’s Richie Evans – the “Rapid Roman” – became the first person not affiliated with NASCAR’s elite Cup circuit to be inducted in the Hall. The driver generally considered the Modified circuit’s best ever, died in his race car during a practice session at Martinsville Speedway back in 1985, after he’d clinched the division title for that year, his ninth overall in a career that saw him win more than 475 feature races. All across the banquet hall in Charlotte were people young and old wearing Richie Evans T-shirts, buttons with his car No. 61 (the only one ever retired in a major NASCAR division) or bright orange ties, the same color Evans used on his race cars and the identical colors used by the Rome, N.Y., city maintenance department. The event’s host, broadcaster Mike Joy, teared up as he spoke of his reaction upon walking into the room and seeing a visitor wearing an Evans shirt. The driver’s widow, Lynn, accepted the honors for her late husband, saying he would be proud to be honored

Richie Evans (Undated NASCAR photo) so soon in the selection process for the three-year-old Hall of Fame. “Rich would be so honored and humbled to be included with the inductees, past, present and future,” Mrs. Evans said. “What a great honor … I’d especially like to thank the Hall of Fame voting panel for stepping outside the box and making Rich the first driver inductee not to have raced in NASCAR’s top series full-time. You have now given hope to thousands of NASCAR competitors throughout the country to maybe someday reach their dream.” Inductee Glen Wood also had a sizeable crowd behind him, a crowd that included a strong contingent of former drivers led by Marvin Panch,

David Pearson, Morgan Shepherd and Ricky Rudd, as well as friends and family from his hometown of Stuart, Va. Joy described the Wood Brothers team as “an organization that through three generations has done so much to define NASCAR as a family sport” and added that “half of Patrick County is here tonight to honor the pride of Stuart, Va., Glen Wood.” Wood, like all of his fellow inductees, used much of his time behind the microphone thanking his friends and family for their support. “This is about two families, the Wood family and the Ford family working together, which has resulted in me being here tonight,” Wood said. Inductee Dale Inman, longtime crew chief for his cousin Richard Petty, said there was much more to his Hall of Fame career than the accomplishments on the race track. “When I look back over all this, the wins, the Daytona wins, the championships and all that, I think over the years the people I’ve met, the places I’ve seen, the friends I’ve made, both in and out of racing, that sticks out big,” he said. Cale Yarborough spoke of the sacrifices his wife Betty Jo made in the beginning, when he was sweeping floors at Holman-Moody for $1.25 an

hour. He compared his career path to climbing a ladder, a big, tall one. “The first one I want to thank is my wife, Betty Jo, of almost 53 years, for putting up with me and sticking with me throughout some awful hard times, I’m going to tell you,” Yarborough said. “I had help, and she was my biggest help.” Yarborough also thanked his mother, Anna Mae, who received an ovation of her own when her son introduced her. Darrell Waltrip continued the family theme, thanking his wife Stevie for her support as well as his mother, who also attended the ceremony. “I’m passionate about my career, but I’m most passionate about my family,” Waltrip said. He announced to the group that his daughter Jessica is about to make him a grandfather, and he became emotional when describing his surprise to learn that his daughter Sarah had flown in from an overseas mission trip to be with him at the induction. “When I checked into the hotel room last night and I opened the door, my Sarah was there,” he said. “She flew 25 hours to be here tonight, and she’s got to turn around Sunday and fly 25 hours back to the Philippines. That’s sweet. That means a lot to an old dad, trust me.”

Ironmen Stay Conﬁdent, Focused On Playoffs By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

It was another tough weekend at the Jamestown Savings Bank Ice Arena for the Jamestown Ironmen, who dropped a pair of games against the Port Huron Fighting Falcons, the top team in the NAHL’s North Division. But, head coach Dan Daikawa insists his team is confident and not far away from turning the corner. “[Saturday’s game] was the first time we thought we could have won — while losing,” Daikawa said. “We had better scoring chances, played a better game overall and I think all the boys knew we could have won that game.” Saturday’s loss was a 2-1 defeat that saw the Ironmen show a commitment to defense, something that has been bolstered by recent additions of John Roisum and Mike Zagari. “Roisum’s a guy that hasn’t played a lot this year,” Daikawa said. “We kind of threw him under the bus and said ‘here ya go’ but I thought he played pretty well. We like the guys we’re getting because they’re better puck movers.” It showed. While Jamestown had troubled gelling on offense, they did a much better job of clearing the zone and allowed just 28 shots Saturday night. Friday night, though, the team came out flat, which was the key concern for Daikawa.

“I just didn’t think we brought it like we have in weekend’s past,” he said. “We played much better in the last period, but we have to compete every day and we didn’t [Friday]. And of course, it cost us. While Jamestown lost both games this weekend, it didn’t hurt in the standings. Although it didn’t help either, the Ironmen stayed seven points back of Michigan, who also lost both of their games this past weekend. The Ironmen will again be off this weekend while Michigan will go play two games against Springfield. That will give Michigan five more games played than Jamestown, thus meaning a seven-point difference isn’t all that much.

“We’re still confident,” Daikawa said. “The boys knew our goal was to make the playoffs and we know we’re still right there. “We think can make some noise in the playoffs too. A lot of teams tell us we’re one of the hardest teams to play against in our division. Port Huron’s had our number, but I don’t think they want to play us.” Again, the seven-point difference isn’t a whole lot. Jamestown has games in hand with Michigan and still play three more games against the Warriors. In addition, Jamestown has nine games left with third place Traverse City. Of course, the team will have to turn it around soon. “Teams have a little tougher

schedules than us,” Daikawa said. “There are a still a lot of opportunities for us.” Any turnaround wouldn’t be a large surprise, though. The Ironmen have made a habit of competing in every game only to come up a little short. Throw Friday’s game out the window and Jamestown has actually outscored opponents (by a goal) over their last eight games. Unfortunately for Jamestown, they only won three of those. But the close losses, as Daikawa said, aren’t a bad sign. “We have to have a 60-minute commitment,” he said. “And a 60-game (season length) commitment.” Daikawa was most excited though about the growing endorsement of the Ironmen from the City of Jamestown. Again the Ironmen brought in around 1,750 fans over the two days and have seen a large increase in attendance over the past few months. “It’s exciting to see the increasing amount of Ironmen hats and Ironmen sweaters around town,” Daikawa said. “We dove head first into the community and that’s what we really wanted. We know it’s going to continue to grow and our players understand how important it is to be involved. “We want to be here. We want to be a part of the community. We want to be the big thing in town and have people waiting in line to get tickets. And the boys feed off it. They love seeing more and more fans. We want to make this place a great a home-ice advantage.”

Kicker Dreams and Nightmares: Super Bowl XLVI Set

Cundiff’s Missed Field Goal Send Pats To Super Bowl

Giants Stun 49ers With OT Field Goal

Contributed Article Associated Press

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Tom Brady got all the help he needed to get the New England Patriots into the Super Bowl. Thank you, Billy Cundiff. The Baltimore Ravens kicker shanked a 32-yard field goal with 11 seconds left and the Patriots escaped with a 23-20 victory in the AFC Championship Game on Sunday. Usually, vintage Brady doesn't need much assistance in championship settings, but the Patriots' much-maligned defense came through, and Brady's 1-yard touchdown dive with 11:29 left proved to be the winning points. "Well, I sucked pretty bad today, but our defense saved us," Brady said after throwing for 239 yards, with two interceptions and, for the first time in 36 games, no TD passes. "I'm going to try to go out and do a better job in a couple of weeks, but I'm proud of this team, my teammates." Brady waited out the final tense minutes on the sideline, and then celebrated with the rest of his team when Cundiff 's attempt went wide left. The Ravens looked on in stunned horror. Cundiff had no excuse. "It's a kick I've kicked probably a thousand times in my career," Cundiff said. "I went out there and didn't convert. That's the way things go." Next up as the Patriots chase their fourth Super Bowl trophy in Brady and coach Bill Belichick's tenure in New England is the New York Giants, who beat the San Francisco 49ers 20-17 in overtime Sunday night. The Patriots were installed as 3-point favorites for the Super Bowl on Feb. 5 in Indianapolis. In their last trip to the big game, the Patriots had an 18-0 record when they were stunned by the Giants four years ago. They won the NFL championship for the 2001, 2003 and 2004 seasons. This time, they head to the Super Bowl with a 10-game winning streak. Before Cundiff missed, the Ravens had a chance to go ahead two plays earlier, but wide receiver Lee Evans was stripped of the ball in the end zone by backup cornerback Sterling Moore, who earlier was victimized for a touchdown that gave Baltimore (13-5) the lead 17-16. On his touchdown, Brady took a huge hit from Ravens star linebacker Ray Lewis, then emphatically spiked the ball as he walked away. Earlier, Brady showed his fire by barking at Lewis following a hard tackle on a 4-yard run. "It's a pretty mentally tough team," said Brady, whose fifth trip to the Super Bowl will equal John Elway's achievement with Denver. "There's really some resiliency. We've shown that all season. Even in the games we've lost, the three games we lost, we fought until

Holder Steve Weatherford celebrated with a slip-and-slide on his back down the soggy field. Victor Cruz fell to his knees. Tynes quickly found his crying wife for a warm hug. Manning tossed his gloves into the temporary seats with a big smile, then received a surprise visit from big brother, Peyton, in the locker room. Manning went 32 of 58 for 316 yards and two touchdowns and overcame six sacks in his record fifth road playoff win, New York's fifth in a row overall. Manning threw a go-ahead 17-yard touchdown pass to Mario Manningham with 8:34 remaining after Williams fumbled for the first time. The Giants challenged that the ball touched Williams' right knee and Thomas recovered with 11:06 left and coach Tom Coughlin won, giving the Giants the ball back at the 29. "That was a tremendous football game for those that really enjoy football at its very basic element," said Coughlin, who matched former Cowboys coach Tom Landry for most road playoff wins with seven. "Just a classic football game that just seemed like no one was going to put themselves into position to win it. Fortunately we were able to do that." A 12-point underdog in the 2008 title game, the Giants battered Brady and got a last-minute TD pass from Manning to Plaxico Burress to win their third Super Bowl. Five months ago, Manning declared he was in the same class as Tom Brady. Now, he'll get another chance to outdo him on the NFL's biggest stage. During this playoff run, he's already outplayed Aaron Rodgers and the defending champion Packers, and fellow former No. 1 pick Alex Smith. Cruz set the tone Sunday with eight of his 10 receptions in the first half and finished with

142 yards. "It's just been a tremendous effort by all of us, man," Cruz said. "We understand that any one of us can get hot at any moment. As long as we're all on the same page and just playing together, man, we've got a great group of guys." New York dominated Atlanta at home in the opening round, and then came another stunner: a 37-20 victory at Green Bay. Vernon Davis caught touchdown passes of 73 and 28 yards for the NFC West champions (14-4), who went from 6-10 a year ago to a contender and ended an eight-year playoff drought. "It will be a tough one. It will take a while to get over," Harbaugh said. "There were a lot of ways in which we played well enough to win. We just didn't come away with it." Smith completed just 12 of 26 passes for 196 yards, connecting on only one short throw to a wide receiver. With no threats on the outside, San Francisco managed one thirddown conversion, coming on the final play of regulation. The offense was unable to overcome Williams' blunders. "We all know him. We know how committed he is to winning," Smith said. "It's not on him. I look at the 1 for 13 on third downs. I know he's going to feel bad, but he's still part of our team. We didn't lose the game there. We lost it across the board offensively. We just couldn't get it done." The only other time these two franchises faced off in the conference championship the game finished in memorable fashion. On Jan. 20, 1991, Roger Craig fumbled with the 49ers leading 13-12 late in the fourth quarter and the Giants went on to win 15-13 to deny San Francisco a chance at a third straight Super Bowl title. New York then beat the Bills to capture its second Super Bowl. This time, it was Williams who made the crucial mistake. "You hate to be the last guy that had the ball, to give it away in that fashion and to lose a game of this magnitude," Williams said. "It is what it is. We're going to move forward as a team. Everyone has come to pat me on the back and the shoulder to say it's not me."

Serena Williams Out Of Australian Open In Fourth Round By Dennis Passa Associated Press

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Novak Djokovic looked vulnerable for the first time at this Australian Open when Lleyton Hewitt won six straight games to take a set in the last match of a day that had already featured a stun-

ning, upset loss for Serena Williams. Top-ranked and defending champion Djokovic held his composure and survived to win in four sets late Monday night, ensuring all of the top five men reached the quarterfinals. Numbers told the surprising story for Williams in

her fourth-round loss: seven double-faults, including four in one game; 37 unforced errors, and a first-serve percentage of just over 50 percent had her convinced “maybe I should have started serving lefty.” Some other numbers indicated why her 6-2, 6-3 loss to Russia’s Ekaterina Makarova on what she admitted was a

She has played 43 singles matches at Melbourne Park since she won the first of her five Australian Open titles in 2003, and Monday’s loss was just her third.

Sabres Snap 12-Game Road Losing Streak, Edge Devils Contributed Article Associated Press

NEWARK, N.J. — The Buffalo Sabres are going into the NHL All-Star break with smiles on their faces and much-needed hope for the second half of the season. Jason Pominville and Nathan Gerbe scored in a shootout and Ryan Miller made 27 saves as the Sabres snapped a 12-game losing streak on the road and a five-game overall skid with a 2-1 victory over the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday night. "This is huge for us," said Sabres defenseman Jordan Leopold, who scored in regulation. "The past few week have been tough and challenging and we capped off a long, long road trip with a win. It was not a perfect game. We got outshot and outchanced but in the end we got a couple of big saves from Ryan. He kept us in the game and we were able to win in the shootout."

Buffalo, whose previous 12 road losses all came in regulation, also came close to losing this one, too, but in the shootout. Ilya Kovalchuk gave New Jersey the lead in the shootout, snapping a shot past Miller on the first attempt. Devils goalkeeper Martin Brodeur stopped Thomas Vanek and Brad Boyes on the Sabres first two attempts and it came down to Pominville after Miller stopped Zach Parise and Patrik Elias. Pominville ripped a shot over Brodeur's glove after deciding to change his shot halfway through his attempt. "I was just trying to change the angle and I had plenty of time to take my time and it kind of went forward on me but I was so far away that I had time to settle it down and it wasn't a big deal, I didn't panic or anything," Pominville said.

Jersey's fourth attempt and Gerbe gave Buffalo its first road win since Dec. 3 by beating Brodeur, allowing the Sabres to

jump off the bench in joy. "To finally win one, this allows us to feel good going into the break," Sabres coach Lindy

Ruff said. "This could have been a tough break if you walked into the break with even a shootout loss. This picks your spirits up and creates hopes. It's the first time in a while the guys have felt good." Elias scored a power-play goal in the second period for the Devils, who have now lost three in a row. "I thought we played really well," said Brodeur, who only faced 14 shots. "I thought we dominated the game. The shot (differential) indicates that. Offensively, we couldn't score goals. Miller played extremely well. They've been losing so much on the road and they finally got some breaks." The Devils had the first three shots in the overtime and each one was a quality scoring chance. Miller stopped Kovalchuk on a 2-on-1 just 25 seconds into the five-minute session and Henrique 15 seconds later. He also stopped Parise sweeping in from the right side with 90 seconds to go.

Pominville said the save on Kovalchuk in overtime was the best. "The game should have been over and he got his glove on it somehow," Pominville said. Buffalo took a 1-0 lead in the first period. Gerbe ripped a shot from the top of the left circle that missed the net. The puck hit the glass behind the net and landed in the right edge of the crease for an easy tap-in by Leopold. It was his eighth of the season and his first in 10 games. New Jersey tied the score midway through the second period on the second of two straight penalties against Derek Roy. Elias sent the puck to the right point for a one-timer by Kurtis Foster. Parise retrieved the rebound about 10 feet in front of the net and backhanded a pass to Elias in the right circle. Miller got his glove on the shot but it slid into the corner. It was Elias' 18th goal and team-high seventh with the extra skater.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Buffalo Sabres announced plans to partner with Re-Tree WNY to help reforest Western New York. On Sunday, Jan. 15 Retree WNY launched the “Green Goal” campaign to raise funds for the purchase of trees to be planted along the streets and in the parks of Buffalo and the surrounding communities. The Buffalo Sabres Foundation, The Buffalo News, and Entercom Radio have announced their commitment to support the effort. “We have a sustainable community program, ‘The Sabres Green Team,’ that adopts a project each season that benefits our community,” said Michael Gilbert, VP of Public & Community Relations, “We are especially excited about

helping Re-Tree WNY this year so they can reach their goal of reforesting our area, devastated by the October, 2006 surprise snowstorm. In fact, we are matching each $40 donated with $40 from the Buffalo Sabres Foundation so that trees can be bought this year to be planted by their volunteers.” The Buffalo News will support the campaign with advertisements in the paper and online, including a full page ‘thank you’ ad to recognize donors to the campaign. The News has supported Re-Tree WNY from the beginning with our Buffalo News Green Leaf Campaign, which raised over $500,000 combined in 2007 and 2009”, said Buffalo News publisher Stanford Lipsey. “We are hoping that the community will support this worthwhile cause once again, and we will recognize those who donate in a future

edition of The Buffalo News.” Entercom Buffalo LLC is donating air time on its Sabres flagship station, WGR SportsRadio 550, and the five other radio stations it owns to highlight the “Green Goal” project. “Re-Tree WNY fits in perfectly with our major Entercom corporate initiative, called ‘1 Thing’, which targets environmental causes that deserve support,” said Larry Robb, Vice President/General Manager of the Entercom radio stations. “We hope that our collaboration on this campaign will generate funding for their planting efforts in 2012”.

St. Bonaventure Sports Information

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — St. Bonaventure (18-2, 5-0 Atlantic 10) erased a 13-point secondhalf deficit, and senior Jessica Jenkins broke the A-10 career 3-point record with six 3's as the Bonnies moved into sole possession of first place in the league with a 68-63 win over Charlotte (12-7, 4-1 A-10) Saturday night. A 13-0 run bridging both halves put Charlotte up 34-24 with 18:50 left, and the 49ers stretched that margin to 38-25 with 16:30 remaining. A 10-0 Bonaventure response – six from Jenkins and four by classmate Megan Van Tatenhove — in just more than one minute trimmed the deficit to only three, 38-35. The clubs then traded buckets until a pair of Doris Ortega free throws with 4:28 left gave the Bonnies their first lead, 56-55, since a 24-23 advantage at the 4:12 mark of the first half. That lead remained the Brown and White's for the duration of the contest, as the veteran group continued its best-ever start to a season. Jenkins — who scored a game-high 23 points — went 6-10 from 3-point range to break the record of 291 career 3's, which was held by SBU's Suzie Dailer ('95) and Cathy

Jones of George Washington. The Marion, Ohio native now has 293 trifectas in her career. Jenkins, who hit a programrecord nine 3-pointers against the 49ers last year, has knocked down 19 3-pointers against Charlotte in the last three games. The nation's best road team at now 8-0 on the campaign, Bonaventure snapped Charlotte's six-game winning streak and extended its own winning streak to seven straight. The 18 wins are tied for the second-most in the entire country with No. 7/8 Maryland (18-1) and No. 10/12 Ohio State (18-1). The victory was the 85th for the senior class of Van Tatenhove, Jenkins, Armelia Horton and Jennie Ashton, tying it for the most all-time with the 2011 class. It's also the third win already this year by the Bonnies over a team picked higher than them in the A-10 preseason poll. Van Tatenhove scored 18 points, including a 3-pointer with just two minutes remaining to give the Bonnies a 63-59 cushion. Ortega finished with 10 points, while junior Alaina Walker continued her consistent play with a season-high 11 rebounds and nine points. Holding a 24-21 lead with 4:42 left in the opening half,

Charlotte closed the frame on an 8-0 run to open up a 29-24 halftime advantage. However, with the Bona response in the second stanza, it is now 3-0 on the year when trailing at the half on the road. The Bonnies shot just 34.5 percent (10-29) from the floor in the first half and turned the ball over six times — their game total for each of the previous two contests. The second half was a near complete reversal from the first as they shot a blistering 52 percent (13-25), including a 56-percent clip (5-9) from 3-point range. Charlotte placed four players in double-figure scoring, led by 11 each from Gabby Tyler and Hillary Sigmon. Jennifer Hailey and Ephiphany Woodson each added 10 points for the 49ers, who dropped just their second home game (7-2) of the season. St. Bonaventure's difficult conference-opening slate continues as it returns home to the Reilly Center to host Saint Joseph's on Wednesday. The Hawks (13-5 overall, 3-1 A-10) were picked to finish 5th in the league in preseason voting. The contest will be the fourth time already this A-10 slate that the Bonnies battle a team picked to finish ahead of them in the league ledger. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. from Bob Lanier Court.

Warm Weather A Major Setback For Ice Fisherman By Steve Peacock Star Outdoors Writer

The ice on Chautauqua Lake has not thickened up the way I predicted it would. We still haven’t gotten the prolonged cold temperatures we need to make good ice. Last weekend, some folks

were able to walk on the ice near shore at long point. They could not get out very far and they saw where other people had fallen through. The warm temperatures and high winds this week are a definite set back for the ice fishermen. I did hear that people were fishing last weekend

Lake Erie Fishing Hotline: Jan. 20 to Jan. 27 Contributed Article Department of Environmental Conservation

n Lake Erie Tributaries ad Any significant shelf ice was flushed out of the creeks folals lowing Tuesday's rainstorms. All of the tributaries except Cattaraugus Creek have dropped back into fishing t shape, with moderate flows and good color. Anglers ed should expect floating slush this weekend. Sunday looks to like a good bet as temperawastures will climb into the upper ly 30s. king Up through last weekend, steelhead catches were very good on Chautauqua Creek, d and Canadaway Creek was y, producing decent catches. m- In cold water conditions, it ying is best to keep drifted baits slow and deep as steelhead rs are lethargic and hugging the bottom. ant Egg sacs, egg pattern flies, trout beads or small hair jigs tipped with a waxworm/ spike (fished under a float) are good bets. Concentrate efforts during the warmest part of s the day when chasing winter steelhead. Winter season steelhead andy gling on the Lake Erie tributaries can be a challenging and potentially hazardous outing, with the onset of ice and snow. Safety is of utmost importance. Some helpful items that you should consider include neoprene waders, ice cleats n

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 caught a few brown trout this week on live minnows fished under a bobber. Catches have been better from the city pier than from the DEC fishing platform near the warm water discharge. Upper Niagara River Stained water conditions on the upper river will keep the fishing on hold for a bit. Ice Fishing Anglers are starting to venture out onto area waters, as some now have safe ice. However, at this point anglers should not assume that ice thickness is uniform on any body of water. Remember that a minimum of 3 to 4 inches of solid ice is the general rule for safety. Drilling holes or tapping with a spud bar to check ice thickness is recommended on your way out. Ice has been slow to form this year, and repeated warmups have deteriorated ice in certain areas. Anglers should be cautious near shore, and avoid areas near stream inlets and around docks. Safety ice pics, boot cleats, rope and a floatation devise are recommended safety items. Use good judgment and fish with a friend when possible.

on Silver Lake in Wyoming County. Fishermen on Silver Lake typically target pan fish to catch. Some nice brown trout have been caught lately out of the Dunkirk harbor. Friends of mine fished there last week end and while they didn’t catch any they saw several

browns being caught. The guys, who were successful, caught fish using live minnows rigged three or four feet below a bobber. The use of artificial lures was made nearly impossible because of the number of shad in the harbor. There are so many shad in there that

almost every cast resulted in a foul hooked fish. Along with all of the shad there is still a ton of minnows in the harbor. If we don’t get any ice soon I will probably go down there to give it a try. A change to the fishing regulations that was made last year now allows the use of a third line.

They also made a change to the rules regarding the catching and transporting of minnows. Basically they created a narrow corridor along Lake Erie where bait can now be transported. For more details about these changes or any other regulations go to the D.E.C. web site.

Five Divers Qualify For Nationals

Contributed Article Fredonia Sports Information

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — Five Fredonia State divers posted NCAA provisional qualifying scores during competition Saturday at Trinity (Texas) University. In the women's 3-meter competition, junior Sarah Ficarro, sophomore Katelyn Haley, sophomore Ashley Keller, and senior Leanne Kies were among a group of six women to reach the NCAA Division III qualifying standard. In addition, junior Ryan Fuller posted a D-III provisional qualifying score in the men's 1-meter competition while senior John Rodman narrowly missed the standard.

"Leanne Kies and John Rodman had the best meet of their careers," Fredonia State assistant coach John Crawford said. "The 11-dive format with good competition is exactly what we needed heading into the conference championships." Friday, four divers posted national provisional qualifying scores. They were Ficarro Keller, and Haley on the women's side, and Fuller among the men. Ficarro won the women's 1-meter springboard event with an 11-dive score of 463.55. Keller was third with 440.20 points, and Haley was sixth with 396.80. "The top six women in the

Fredonia Sports Information

EDINBORO, Pa. — Fredonia State senior Broncho Rollins finished first in the pole vault at the Al Hall Freedom Games at Edinboro University. Rollins, an NCAA Division III participant last spring, cleared 15 feet. In other events, junior Peter Francia led a trio of Blue Devil runners in the 3,000 meters. Francia finished third with a personal-best 8:47, good for both SUNYAC and ECAC qualifying. In addition, Jack Bennett and Cal Hayward ran SUNYAC qualifying times of 9:06 and 9:11, respectively.

In the mile, sophomore Steven Whittemore won his heat with a SUNYAC-qualifying time of 4:36. Two Blue Devil sprinters, sophomore Alex Brennan and freshman Andrew Burrell, had solid efforts in the 200 meters. Brennan was timed in 24.28 seconds and Burrell in a personal-best 24.36 seconds. For the women, six members posted SUNYAC qualifying efforts. In the 800 meters, junior Kateri Walsh had a third-place time of 2:30. Other SUNYAC qualifers were sophomore Emily Cummiskey with a time of 28.60 seconds in the 200 meters; freshman Alicia Brand with

ed three set points to win the second and advanced on her second match point despite making 47 unforced errors and eight double-faults. “A lot of ups and downs today — fortunately I finished on a high note,” she said. “Even though I didn’t play my best tennis I fought to the end and sometimes that’s what gets you through.” Top-seeded Caroline Wozniacki, still in search of her first Grand Slam title, played Clijsters in a quarterfinal on Tuesday. Kvitova had some trouble late before beating former top-ranked Ana Ivanovic 6-2, 7-6 (2) Monday and will next next play Sara Errani of Italy, who beat 2008 semifinalist Zheng Jie 6-2, 6-1.

He was leading by two sets and a break before Hewitt, who was playing on a wild card entry after his rankcompetition qualified for nationals," Blue Devil assistant coach John Crawford said. "That's the first time I remember that happening in all my years of coaching." In addition, senior Kies earned 364.05 points and finished eighth Friday. In the men's 3-meter event, Fuller scored 476.60 points and finished second overall to a national-caliber diver from an NCAA Division II program. Falling three points short of the national provisional score was senior John Rodman, with 436.65 points. Rodman finished third and sophomore Joshua Croft was fourth with 355.25 points.

ing plummeted in an injuryplagued 2011, ended that streak by winning six straight games to force a fourth set. But Djokovic regained his cool, cut out the loose shhots and advanced to a quarterfinal No. 5 David Ferrer, who had a 6-4, 6-4, 6-1 victory over Richard Gasquet of France. The loss for former U.S. Open and Wimbledon champion Hewitt ended his 16th campaign at the Australian Open. Makarova, a 23-year-old Russian left-hander, was equally thrilled about her win over Williams. And considering she’d lost in the first round of the last six tournaments she’d played, in awe over who she beat. “Yeah, I’m surprised because she’s a great player and it’s really tough to play against her. But, I don’t know, I just feeling so good and so focus. So I played my game, and that’s it. I won against Serena. That’s amazing.” Makarova overcame plenty of Williams crowd support, many of whom weren’t that familiar with the Russian. Oracene Price, Williams’ mother, was in the players’ box with her sunglasses on

and a wide-brimmed hat. In the fourth game of the second set with Makarova serving, Williams netted an easy forehand return. She made an angry sound, and there was a bit of laughter in the crowd. Price just turned away, shaking her head. After Williams’ fourth double-fault in the fifth game of the second set, which gave Makarova the game and a 3-2 lead — Williams shouted “Oh my God.” She looked ready to smash her racket, but in the end bounced it on the court and caught it on the rebound. The 13-time Grand Slam winner had only played two competitive matches since losing the U.S. Open final to Sam Stosur in September, and her light preparation was curtailed when she badly twisted her ankle as she won her second-round match at Brisbane earlier this month. For that reason, Williams wasn’t about to beat herself up over Monday’s loss. “Am I usually angry? I don’t know. Crying? I don’t cry. So I don’t know what I usually project,” she said. “I feel like I didn’t play well today. I don’t feel like I can’t get better.”

Insider By T.J. TOMASI

IT’S GOOD FOR YOUR GAME

A model swing: the finish

This is the last position in our series of key swing positions that allow you to match your swing to a pro swing model. The model assumes a right-handed golfer who is hitting a straight shot. Sticking the finish The gymnasts call it “sticking the finish,” and when you stick your finish in golf, good things will happen. Here is the anatomy of your Kodak Moment: 1. Your weight is balanced on the front foot, with the back foot acting as a rudder. 2. Your hips are perpendicular to the target line. 3. Your shoulders have rotated past perpendicular with your right shoulder in advance of the left. 4. Everything you own — your nose, your belt buckle, your right knee — is pointing at the target. But while this template is the same for all Kodak Moments, there are variations caused by your body

ABOUT THE WRITER type — how you’re built, your strength, and most important, Dr. T.J. Tomasi is your flexibility. a teaching Three variations of the professional finish position are illustrated in Port St. Lucie, Fla. in the accompanying photos. Visit his But no matter which finish website at your body dictates, you can tjtomasi.com. memorize it by repeating the “posing drill”: Close your eyes, swing the club, and pose in your finish for a slow count of three. Open your eyes and make certain you match your prototype. This is your swing’s Kodak Moment, and it should be your goal to nail this position for every swing. To find out more about which swing you should use, take the LAWs test at www.tjtomasi.com. A player with the body type of Keegan Bradley, average build and flexibility, should finish with the upper body tilted a bit to the right and the right shoulder slightly lower than the left, a sideways “C” or bow.

Hall of Famer Patty Sheehan is tall and flexible. She finishes in the reverse “C” position. Her arms are in a high position over her left shoulder and her body is bowed, with her head over her right foot.

er,

dly on t h.

If you have a body type like Darren Clarke, with a thick torso and less flexibility, your finish should be erect, a straight-up “I” position, with your shoulders level to the ground. Your head should be over your left foot with no bend in your back.

ASK THE PRO

THE GOLF DOCTOR

Make your putts pop

Joints are stacked for balance, power

n’t So Q: The greens at my course y are slow — more like a shag ke I carpet than the linoleum I see n’t the pros putting on. What’s the

best way for me to consistently get the ball to the hole without ruining my stroke? — Larry H. A: Back in the day before the greens on tour became uniformly immaculate, pros had very wristy putting strokes. When you see Arnold Palmer, Gary Player and Jack Nicklaus putting on reruns of past tournaments, they all used pop strokes. They had to, because the greens were half the speed of today’s surfaces, and with the ball nestling down in the grass, they needed to add some “pop” to get it

up and rolling. And so do you. To get some pop on your putts, don’t worry about tilting your shoulders back and forth like today’s “linoleum” pros do. Let your hands hinge the putter back from address, then accelerate through impact with a little push from your right (trail) palm. As long as you push and don’t twist with your trail hand, the putter will stay on line and you’ll reach the other side of that shag carpet the course superintendent calls a green. (To Ask the Pro a question about golf, email him at: TJInsider@aol.com.)

The idea of “stacking your joints” is pervasive in all sports because it creates the perfect combination of stability and power. When you see athletes with stacked joints — hips, knees and ankles lined up — they’re channeling weight straight into the ground to create resistance. This direct grounding of weight allows the load to be evenly distributed throughout the arches of the feet, the baseline for body-to-ground resistance. And in golf, that spells power. Use this drill indoors this winter to hone your stacking skill. Pose in the position below: My back hip, knee and ankle joints are in line, and I’m hovering my front foot to feel the stack.

TEEING OFF

A 90-day calendar for improvement When I know a student is serious about improving and has the time to devote to a program, I give him or her a calendar — a “when to do what” guide for improvement. Here’s one for you. To give this guide some sense of chronological order, I’ve broken it into weeks — 13 of them, which allows roughly 90 days to reach your goal. Keep one thing in mind as you proceed: It’s best to approach each task separately because it gets too confusing if you try to do too many things at once. Every self-help book says the same thing — make a plan, divide it into manageable tasks, then focus on one task at a time until you reach your goal. Week One: Sometimes it’s the arrows The first topic on the calendar is reviewing your arsenal. Check the loft on your driver. If the loft isn’t stamped on it somewhere, have a pro measure it for you. Too little loft is a big mistake. Unless you have a very high clubhead speed (more than 105 mph), nothing less than 10.5 degrees works. If you don’t like what you have, hold an “audition.” Try out all kinds of demo models. Ask for some impact tape and check how often you hit each driver in the center of the clubface. Do the same with your irons. Remember, solid contact in the center of the clubface is the key to good golf shots. Consider dumping the long irons and replacing them with hybrids. Most hybrids are easier to hit and very versatile.

Check your wedges. If you don’t have an L-wedge (58 to 60 degrees or more), add one to your set. If you can’t afford it, have your sand wedge bent to 58 degrees. Have a clubfitter or golf professional check the shafts on your clubs for two things: (1) Are they the proper flex for you? (2) Do they match throughout your set? Not just the irons, but the woods, as well. Another way of doing this is to hit various demo clubs and to hit the clubs of some of your friends. Try all of the basic flexes: regular, stiff, extra-stiff, seniors. If you’re a female, ask about women’s flexes. You should match your swing speed to the correct flex. And while you’re at the clubfitter’s, have the lie of your irons checked as well. Are your grips the proper size? If you think they’re too small, wrap some gauze around them and hit some practice shots. And if you haven’t changed your grips in the past two years, spring for new ones. Vet your ball. Buy three major brands and take them to a practice area. Play some pitch shots, hit some chips and roll a bunch of putts, all the while monitoring them for feel and control. They’ll all perform nearly the same distance-wise, but from close in you may detect some difference in the feel. Use the one that feels best. You have a week to get this done. Just make sure that at the end of the week there is a big X on your calendar, signaling completion.

BIRDIES AND BOGEYS

Tiger catches Jack According to Forbes magazine, Tiger Woods, despite all his problems, earned $75 million during the 12 months ending May 1, making him the highest-earning sports figure in the world. Now Woods, the only athlete ever to earn $1 billion, is leasing 10,000 square feet of office space in Palm Beach County, Fla., to host his business operations, joining Jack Nicklaus, Greg Norman and many other golf entrepreneurs who office in the area. Woods may not catch Jack in majors won, but he’s already beat him in money made.

Lengthen the course or shorten the ball? John Solheim, CEO of PING, is proposing that golf’s rule-making bodies consider his Ball Distance Rating system (BDR), which would allow for three balls in competition; one that is the same as today’s standard, one that flies shorter and one that is longer. This way each event could apply the BDR appropriate for its course design, yardage and the skill level of the golfers competing at the event. Instead of spending cash to lengthen golf courses, the committee running the event could simply designate which ball is used. And it works for pros as well as amateurs. Now let’s see what the architect lobby has to say about it.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“I didn’t know anything about the girls.” — Hank Haney Haney spent 120 days a year for six years with Tiger Woods and he never laid eyes on a Tiger cocktail waitress? Methinks Haney is channeling Sgt. Schultz of “Hogan’s Heroes”: “I see nothing!”

RANKINGS

Hard to stay on top Only 15 golfers have held the No. 1 ranking as the world’s best golfer in the 24-year history of the rankings. Some have held it only briefly, while several seemed to never let go. Why the difference? Here’s a theory: For those in this short-stay group, arriving at No. 1 in the world is the culmination of an effort that recedes (won then done). The foot comes off the accelerator when the destination is reached. Short stays at the top are often a result of this culmination mentality. Short Stays Nick Faldo

For the long-stay group, reaching No. 1 is a continuation of a process crafted from the start -– a will to dominate, the end result of which is a golfing colossus whose momentum carries them past the top of the mountain, making it a much steeper climb for those trying to catch them.

SCIENCE SAYS

GOLF SPOKEN HERE

The rule of equity There are only 34 Rules of Golf, and they can’t cover every situation, so if you find yourself in a state of affairs that isn’t covered by the rules, use common sense. The rule of equity (1-4. Points Not Covered by Rules) says: If any point in dispute is not covered by the Rules, the decision should be made in accordance with equity.

Golf fights Alzheimer’s disease Experts say there are two types of memory located in two different areas of your brain: explicit in the cerebral cortex, the seat of facts; and implicit in the cerebellum, including motor skills like swinging a golf club. Implicit memories are the last to go in advanced Alzheimer’s, with explicit being the first. Although there are no direct studies on the subject, it might be that golf protects the development of key decision-making areas in the front of your brain. Professor Bert Hayslip, a researcher from the University of North Texas, commented to The Wall Street

Journal that the game of golf “imprints itself on people’s minds.” Playing your best golf requires directing your focus and attention, manipulating information, and then controlling your emotions as you work your way around the golf course — all elements your cortex must practice to keep healthy. I believe that golf fits into a growing body of medical research suggesting that problemsolving challenges can improve memory and brain function in seniors. When it comes to brain function, it’s “use it or lose it,” and you use it when you play golf.

Reach for the stars

Teacher takes special-ed students to Space Camp By Kyla Brewer TV Media

razy celebrity series and scandalous reality shows may be all the rage, but there’s still room on television for a good oldfashioned tearjerker. The latest tells the tale of a dedicated special-education teacher who shows his students how to reach for the stars and never give up. Hallmark Hall of Fame’s “A Smile as Big as the Moon” premieres Sunday, Jan. 29, on ABC. Based on a true story, the original movie stars John Corbett as Mike

Kersjes, a high-school football coach who also works with special-needs students at a Michigan school. When he learns about Space Camp, a NASA program designed for gifted science students, Kersjes becomes determined to help his own students reach for the stars. One student in particular, a boy with Down syndrome (Peter ten Brink) who wants to be an astronaut, inspires the teacher. School administrators quickly nix the idea of sending the students because of the cost involved, but that doesn’t deter Kersjes. Even the “powers that be” at Space Camp,

including head honcho Dr. Deborah Barnhart (Cynthia Watros), don’t stop Kerjes from encouraging his students. The administrators have reservations about allowing specialeducation students into the competitive program. In the past, only elite students from elite schools have earned the Space Camp privilege. Despite the seemingly insurmountable odds, Kersjes doesn’t back down. Finally, he convinces everyone to give his kids a chance with the help of fellow teacher Robynn McKinney (Jessy Schram). Then, the real work begins. Kersjes and his charges spend close to nine months tirelessly training and fundraising. He even convinces his football players to help his class with physical conditioning. At last, their perseverance pays off and they head to Space Camp at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Ala. While working on the film, Corbett came to appreciate exactly what Kersjes did for those kids and others like them. “Once his class made that first groundbreaking visit to Space Camp, the doors were thrown wide open,” said Corbett. “Thanks to a foundation he set up, more than 3,000 special-ed kids have been able to experience the wonder and magic of space exploration.”

ometimes, you have to roll the dice to see what comes up. For HBO, all the money lies in hors-

es. The cable network’s new series, “Luck,” follows the life of Ace Bernstein as he digs himself deeper and deeper into the shady world of horse racing and gambling. The series premieres Sunday, Jan. 29, on HBO. There are several big names attached to the seven-episode series, including Dustin Hoffman, Nick Nolte, Jill Hennessy, John Ortiz and Richard Kind. Hoffman stars as Bernstein, whose story picks up after he is released from serving a three-year jail term. Despite having just been in jail, Bernstein purchases a $2-million Irish race horse and puts all his faith in trainer Turo Escalante (Ortiz) to turn the thoroughbred into a champion. On paper, the owner of the horse is actually Gus, Bernstein’s chauffeur and bodyguard, but all of the orders are coming from Bernstein himself. He taught himself the ins and outs of the industry, learning everything as he went. He has autodidacticism, similar to Matt Damon’s character in “Good Will Hunting” (1997). Nolte stars as Bernstein’s rival owner, Walter Smith. He is much more modest with his purchases and his wins, but it’s not because he’s not confident. “We learn there’s a dark history and a shadow of scandal behind the horse,” claims a release from the network. There are also four down-and-out

Dustin Hoffman stars in “Luck” gamblers who will do anything to get the upper hand on a race. These guys are played by Kevin Dunn, Ritchie Coster, Jason Gedrick and Ian Hart. Behind the camera, director Michael Mann and writer David Milch add a sense of experience to the series. Milch has owned almost 100 horses, with several of them winning major racing titles. “The pilot is about a bunch of intersecting lives in the world of horse racing,” Milch told Variety. “It’s a subject which has engaged -- and some might say has compelled -me for 50 years. I find it as complicated and engaging a special world as any I’ve ever encountered, not only in what happens in the clubhouse and the grandstand, but also on the backside of the track, where the training is done and where they house the horses.” It’s not just the experience of the writer that gives this series its legitimacy. It was filmed at the legendary Santa Anita race track, where the 2003 blockbuster “Seabiscuit” was

filmed. Many scenes in “Luck” were filmed while the racetrack was open last spring, capturing actual races and fans in real time. Retired Hall of Famer Gary Stevens will also appear in the series. He played jockey George Woolf in “Seabiscuit,” as well. Hoffman’s resumé doesn’t include much about horses or gambling, though he did provide the voice for a horse in the 2005 animated film, “Racing Stripes.” Hoffman has appeared in dozens of films, such as “The Graduate” (1967), “Hook” (1991) and “All the President’s Men” (1976), plus he won Oscars for “Kramer vs. Kramer” (1979) and “Rain Man” (1988). He has also starred in a number of comedies, including “I Heart Huckabees” (2004), “Stranger Than Fiction” (2006), “Kung Fu Panda” (2008) and “Meet the Fockers” (2004). Nolte’s had a little experience playing a betting man, as well. He had the lead role in “The Good Thief” (2002), in which he played an

Nolte has also starred in “The Thin Red Line” (1998), “The Prince of Tides” (1991) and “Cape Fear” (1991). Canadian-born actress Hennessy is likely best known as Dr. Jordan Cavanaugh from NBC’s “Crossing Jordan.” She played that role for six seasons before the series was canceled in 2007,

and she has done little on TV since. She had the female lead in 2001’s action film “Exit Wounds,” but she only had small roles in 2000’s “Autumn in New York” and 2007’s “Wild Hogs.” She has, however, been broadening her experience by doing theater -- she appeared in the Broadway musical “Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story” -- and releasing a music album in 2009.

StarsonScreen By Sheila Busteed TV Media LEGENDARY ANIMATION: The longest-running prime-time scripted series in America is hoping to earn another big title, and this time it’ll come from the Guinness World Record folks. Fox’s “The Simpsons” plans to honor its upcoming 500th episode by getting its biggest die-hard fans to set a world record for longest continuous television viewing. In order to beat the current record, the marathon will have to last more than 86 hours 6 minutes 41 seconds. The milestone episode is scheduled to air on Sunday, Feb. 19, but the contest will kick off earlier in the month, on Wednesday, Feb. 8, when fans can gather at the corner of Hollywood and Highland in Los Angeles to take part in the record attempt, which is being dubbed The Simpsons Ultimate Fan Marathon Challenge. They’ll watch up to 500 back-to-back episodes of the hit Fox

Fox series “The Simpsons” will hit 500 episodes in February

series, and the winning viewer will go home with $10,500 as well as exclusive merchandise. Fans hoping to register for the event should check out thesimpsons.com or the show’s Facebook page for further details and updates. The upcoming 500th episode will revisit a theme explored in multiple older episodes and the hit 2007 movie: how the Simpson family copes with living outside of Springfield. Titled “At Long Last Leave,” the episode opens as the family is kicked out of their home-

town and is forced to live in an offthe-grid community. Neighbors and friends are hostile when Homer and Marge try to sneak back into town, which convinces them that they may be better off in their new home. Even after 20 years on the air, “The Simpsons” continues to draw top-shelf guest talent. So far, Season 23’s episodes have featured Kiefer Sutherland, Jane Lynch, Gordon Ramsay, Andy Garcia, Joan Rivers, Kevin Dillon, Ted Nugent and John Slattery, among others. COUTURE CRITICS: Joan Rivers, Kelly Osbourne, Giuliana Rancic and George Kotsiopoulos have seen a lot of good and bad fashion moments between them and they’ll soon see even more. The four panelists of “Fashion Police” have made the show so popular that E! Entertainment Television is expanding the program to a full hour starting on Friday, March 9. “’Fashion Police’ was an instant hit as a weekly series and, given the wealth of material, it’s natural for us to expand to an hour to bring viewers an even bigger dose of everything fashion and pop culture through Joan and the

gang’s unique comedic voices,” said E!’s Lisa Berger. To fill the extra 30 minutes, Rivers will take cameras to designer showrooms and the backstage areas at fashion shows to offer tips and clever commentary. Rivers leads the “Fashion Police” foursome and brings her biting comedic style to the show.

he countdown to next week’s Super Bowl XLVI is on. While the teams are busy planning their Game Day plays, so too are the at-home chefs who will be entertaining family and friends during the big game on Sunday, Feb. 5. Food and football have long gone hand-in-hand, whether it be small gatherings or the all-out tailgating parties in stadium parking lots throughout the season. And the sales figures for snack foods sure back it up – according to Nielsen, nearly 177 million pounds of snacks are sold for the Super Bowl, with potato chips outselling all other snack options. Even avocados are swept up in the frenzy, with more than 50 million pounds of it being consumed as guacamole that day. And let’s not forget the 90 million pounds of chicken wings. So you’ve gotta have the grub on-hand. But what if you’re looking to change up the roster, maybe you’ll want to make a quick substitution in your menu. Maybe you want to update your tried-and-true recipes for chili, chicken, quesadillas, dips, sandwiches or other finger foods -- that’s why the Food Network has lined up a sports partythemed block of programming one week before the big day. That’s still plenty of time to get recipes ideas and track down the ingredients needed to score a big victory with your guests. On Sunday, Food Network stars will have their game faces on in new episodes of “Week In a Day,” “Ten Dollar Dinners” and “Guy’s Big Bite” and “Secrets of a Restaurant Chef.” Guy Fieri, who’s no

NHL and NFL double-header takes over weekend By Joel Duplessis TV Media

he NHL and NFL will be sharing the stage this weekend in a doubleheader of all-star proportions. First, the puck will drop on the NHL All-Star Game from Ottawa, Canada, in the early afternoon of Sunday, Jan. 29, followed later by the NFL Pro Bowl kick-off from Honolulu, Hawaii. The NHL All-Star Game can be compared to the NFL Pro Bowl as an opportunity for the fans to witness the game’s best players play in an exhibition contest. The NHL All-Star Game is being played in Ottawa for the first time, and the local fans have ensured that they’ll have something to cheer about. Four Senators players were voted into the lineup -- forwards Jason Spezza, Daniel Alfredsson and Milan Michalek join defenseman Erik Karlsson in representing the home-town Senators, who’ve surprised many with an excellent start to the season. The game will also mark a homecoming of sorts for Chicago Blackhawks forward Marian Hossa, who was drafted by the Senators in the first round of the 1997 Entry Draft. Hossa enjoyed six productive seasons in Ottawa before he was traded for Dany Heatly in 2005. Meanwhile, with the NFL season over and the Super Bowl on the horizon, the Pro Bowl doesn’t seem to have as many storylines to discuss. The most popular points of debate often center on the players left off the respective rosters. This year’s most galvanizing player, Denver Broncos QB Tim Tebow, leads the discussion on surprise snubs -- San Diego Chargers QB Phillip Rivers was selected instead. The Pro Bowl has faced criticism in the past for being an insignificant game that players would rather not attend. However, a majority of players express pride and a desire to be selected, while many fans enjoy the opportunity to see their favorite players take the field before next season. (2:00)
