Passing the test MIdTeRM eXaMS aRRIVe foR STudeNTS aRouNd THe ReGIoN By Daniel Meyer Star News Writer
It is that time of year when students who attend middle school and high school throughout the country are required to take midterm examinations for certain courses. While midterm testing has been in place for quite some time, the recent attention being placed on the “common core” standards of New York State has helped bring extra attention to the middle-of-the-schoolyear testing that is currently taking place. Just like final exams at the end of the school year, midterms can cause stress for students, with test anxiety having been found to play a role in significantly lower test scores. According to the U.S. Department of Education, the level of student

stress directly correlates to the ability to function and perform well on tests and exams. In an effort to reduce stress and allow students to achieve maximum success,
teachers are working with the parents of their students to establish good study habits to help as many children as possible make the grade. Midterms are often given in the core subjects of
English, math, science, social students and world languages such as Spanish, with some elective courses also including midterms as part of their curriculum. ContinueD on PG 14
Jamestown, Fredonia Farmers market momentum stays Alive through winter Katherine Coleman Contributing Writer
This winter, fresh and local is a big emphasis for Jamestown and Fredonia, both holding farmers markets that provide fresh produce
and artisan crafts during the frigid months. Through the promotion of intercommunity commerce, the Jamestown and Fredonia Winter Farmers Markets are strengthening community bonds and delivering quality foods during the
off-season. With about 20 vendors in total, options are bountiful at the Fredonia Winter Farmers Market. Each Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., seasonal vegetables like squash and potatoes,
locally raised, healthy meats and other farmer and artisan products are offered to the community. Having grown ground-up the past six years, the Fredonia market is experiencing strong mobility and success. ContinueD on PG 12

mankind. I’m sitting in a pressurized tube, calmly sipping on a bottle of water six and half miles above the earth. I’m instant messaging my wife as she watches on the screen and tracks where I am. The ability of man to accomplish, to grow and to thrive, is incredible. We discovered the power of lift, and have mastered a way to use it to our advantage. We discovered the existence of electricity, and thereby radio waves and signals (no, I don’t get how it works; I just trust it), and are constantly increasing in our ability to perfect what we understand, and gain greater knowledge of what we don’t. I remember my first fl ight on a commercial aircraft. We were traveling to Disney World in Orlando. I was all of 11 years old, and was fi lled with anticipatory excitement. I can still remember not being able to sleep the night before be-
cause I’d fi nally be able to discuss with friends how fun flying was. I still have that. My heart still leaps when the front wheel lifts off the ground of this behemoth. It makes me cherish my faith that much more, trusting in God to get me safely where I need to go. More so, it makes me thankful that He put us in a world that we’d be able to continually grow and advance in. Air didn’t need to have density. It didn’t need to be pressurized. It didn’t have to be something that we could or couldn’t fly through. But He made it that way. The world is fi lled with boundless ideas and innovations that will continue to make our lives easier and enhance them, we’re just waiting to discover them. For instance, as I mentioned, I’m currently messaging my wife and my mom from 34,000 feet. There’s a small dish placed on the bottom of the aircraft that allows radio signals to travel to the ground and provide
me with Internet. Of course there’s a fee, and it’s barely faster than dial up, but the idea is incredible to me. I’ve always been a nut for technology. I love the new, and it’s often been something I’ve had to stifle. Do I pay the bill, or get the new toy? Of course, adulthood mandates responsibility. But I dream that someday, both will be possible. Technology will only continue to grow and thrive. It is exciting to me to see each and every innovation that comes out of the brilliant minds dedicated to thinking them up. What’s most fascinating, I think, is that even after all this time, there can still be improvements made on even the most basic of technology. Batteries are still growing smaller and more efficient. Computers, faster and more powerful. Don’t shy away from technology, from the new. Embrace it. The world is heading in that direction, and it’s going to make life that much sweeter!

Goodell Joins National Grid To Offer Winter Safety Tips Contributed Article Office of Assemblyman Goodell
Assemblyman Andy Goodell (R,C,I-Chautauqua) today is reminding residents of important winter safety tips. With the recent bouts of cold weather across the state, many New Yorkers have been taking extra care
to keep warm. That’s why National Grid and Goodell are encouraging residents to read and remember these suggestions. “The winter weather, especially the extreme cold, can cause residents to take drastic steps to stay warm. Unfortunately, these efforts to avoid the cold can have as devastating or even deadly
results as the cold itself,” said Goodell. “I strongly encourage all our residents to review National Grid’s safety tips and learn how they can best protect themselves against the cold weather.” Some important winter safety tips include: • Dress properly to help minimize potential cold
stresses. • Learn the signs of carbon monoxide poisoning and seek medical attention if you begin to experience the symptoms. • Never touch downed power lines, and always assume that fallen lines are live electric wires. If you see one, report it immediately to
National Grid or your local emergency response organization. • Driving conditions may be hazardous – if you have to be on the roads, be extra cautious around work sites, especially where visibility might be limited by blowing snow. A complete copy of National Grid’s safety tips is attached.
National Grid offers our customers the following safety tips: Know how to recognize cold stress/hypothermia: Cold stress, or hypothermia, occurs when exposure to extreme cold temperatures causes the body’s temperature to fall below 95 degrees. Seek medical attention if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms: • Skin that is cool to the touch • Violent shivering • Difficulty in speaking or moving • Slowed breathing • Drowsiness • Sudden change in appearance or behavior, including a puffy or swollen face • Trembling in arm, leg or one side of body • Cold and stiff muscles • Difficulty with coordination and balance Dress properly to help minimize potential cold stress: • Wear layers of loose-fitting clothing • Choose mittens instead of gloves • Wear a hat and a scarf
• Avoid alcohol – it can increase your body’s heat loss Remember that certain drugs can increase risk by affecting the body’s ability to regulate its temperature
Ice Buildup and Gas safety
The buildup of ice and snow around or over gas meters and vents for natural gas appliances could pose a serious safety risk. Ice and snow falling from a roof can damage gas meters or service connections to customers’ homes or businesses, resulting in a gas leak. Ice and snow blocking vents could cause carbon monoxide (CO) to back up into a building and result in carbon monoxide poisoning for those inside. To avoid these dangers, National Grid advises natural gas customers to closely inspect areas around and over gas meters, service hook-ups and vents for ice and snow that could damage equipment or prevent CO from properly venting. National Grid advises that you take immediate
medical attention.

Admittedly, this is one of those recipes that I told myself I could probably never share, because it’s simply too good. One of those very favorite recipes that is simply so delicious, that you can’t bring yourself to give it to anyone else. Why is that? Because then, it just might not be as wonderful. Your secret is out, and you are no longer the world’s best brownie maker. However, wonderful things are meant to be shared, just like Jesus. They are not intended to be kept to yourself, but rather be shared with everyone you know. So please share this with everyone that
This week: The world’s Best Brownies you love, and maybe even with the people you don’t love. (Maybe some brownies in their belly will make them more lovable?) Although I would love to claim these brownies as my very own baking genius, I really have no idea who originally created them. I found them on ‘Pinterest’, once upon a time, and I am incredibly glad that I pinned them when the opportunity presented itself. There have been a couple of modifications to the recipe, which were done in my kitchen, but I really cannot take credit for any of the ingredients. I discovered this recipe last year, after being inspired by a friend’s homemade brownies, and thinking it was time to try some of my own from scratch. If you make them right, you can expect to run out of cocoa very quickly as you will want to keep making and eating,
(a glass pan works best, if you are using a nonstick pan, you may be able to skip this step.) This recipe can be doubled in order to accommodate a 9x13 pan, but the ingredients listed above will yield approximately nine large brownies, made in a square pan. If doubling the recipe, baking time will be between 30-35 minutes. In stand mixer, combine all wet ingredients well (eggs, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil.)

unlike a box. And once you see how easy they are, I don’t think you’ll ever be tempted to buy a box of brownie mix again, rightfully so. Now that I’ve talked them up so much, I sincerely hope that your fi rst batch turns out well.

The 1891 Fredonia Opera House Cinema Series will present “Saving Mr. Banks,” the Oscarnominated film starring Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson as Walt Disney and Mary Poppins author P.L. Travers, on Sat., Feb. 1, and Tues., Feb. 4, at 7:30 p.m. Oscar-nominated for Best Original Score, “Saving Mr. Banks” tells the extraordinary, untold back-story of how Disney’s classic “Mary Poppins” made it to the screen. When Walt Disney’s daughters begged him to make a movie of their favorite book, P.L. Travers’ “Mary Poppins,” he made them a promise – one that he didn’t realize would take 20 years to keep. In his quest to obtain the
against a curmudgeonly, uncompromising writer who has absolutely no intention of letting her beloved magical nanny get mauled by the Hollywood machine. But, as the book stop selling and money grows short, Travers reluctantly agrees to go to Los Angeles to hear Disney’s plans for the adaptation. For those two short weeks in 1961, Disney pulls out all the stops. Armed with imaginative storyboards and chirpy songs from the talented Sherman brothers, Walt launches an all-out onslaught on P.L. Travers, but the prickly author doesn’t budge. He soon begins to watch helplessly as Travers becomes increasingly immovable and the rights begin to move further away from his grasp. It is only when he reaches into his own
childhood that Walt discovers the truth about the ghosts that haunt Travers, and together they set Mary Poppins free to ultimately make one of the most endearing films in cinematic history. Steven Rea, in the Philadelphia Inquirer, calls the film “smart and delightful.” Claudia Puig, in USA Today, calls it “an entertaining, affecting, deftly acted saga, interspersed with illustrative flashbacks from Travers’ childhood.” Moira MacDonald, in the Seattle Times, says “nobody plays huffy like Thompson, who seems to sniff with her entire body; she’s wonderfully funny against Hanks’ effusive Disney.” Scott Foundas, in Variety, says “somewhere, Uncle Walt is smiling.” Rated PG-13 for thematic elements including some unsettling
images, “Saving Mr. Banks” runs 125 minutes. The Opera House Cinema Series is sponsored by Lake Shore Savings Bank.

wINTeR faRMeRS MaRkeT CoNTINued fRoM pG 1 Fredonia Farmers Market Vendor Margaret Bruegel said, “It was pretty crude in the beginning years. We’ve come a long way, and now on any given Saturday we might have a couple hundred people come through. We have a very loyal customer base and a really strong support group of people who come to the market every Saturday. It’s such a friendly, community place.” Currently undergoing changes that will merge the summer and winter markets in Fredonia, year round service will be provided and along with that, more consistent services for customers. Bruegel said, “We’re in the process of forming a regional, Western NY Farmers Association (WNYFA).” These projects under the WNYFA link farmers markets together to create a more powerful group. Connected to Fredonia’s winter market through multiple vendors, the Jamestown Winter Farmers Market is held every Friday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Now in their second year as a winter market, they have responded to the community’s call for fresh produce after summer season. Jamestown Farmers Market Assistant Christina King saw summer success at the market, and customers’ excitement to keep it go-
difficult. With traveling difficulties, inclement weather and busy schedules, a lot of community members still pass up shopping at the local, downtown market. A new program this winter gives a $1 coupon for every $5 spent. It can be used that day or carry over to a later visit. Incentives like these are created to keep the traffic flowing and, as King said, “hopefully carry that momentum through to the summer months. We would like to see a lot more community support so we can keep providing fresh produce almost year round.” The Fredonia and Jamestown Winter Farmers Markets are ing. “The community really and cupcakes made without The Jamestown Winter spoke up and said we want a any dyes or chemical stabiFarmers Market has received keeping long-term, healthy food options available for cuswinter market, so we delizers.

County music students Prepare For solo Festival Contributed Article Shawn Huestis
On Saturday, February 1, Fredonia Central School will be fi lled with music students from around Chautauqua County. However, they won’t be gathered in the auditorium for a grand concert, or rehearsing for an upcoming festival. They will be scattered throughout the building; some waiting anxiously in the halls, others inside classrooms that have been converted to audition centers. Each student will be holding a sheet of music they have prepared for this experience. Beginning early in the morning, car loads and busloads of students will show up to Fredonia Central School, enter the building, register themselves, and head to the warm up facility (traditionally the gymnasium). There they will drop off their coats and cases, make sure their lips and voices are warmed up, their bows are rosined, their fingers are nimble, and their instruments are tuned and ready, and find their assigned room

for their scheduled appearance. Once inside, they will meet with a certified adjudicator—a music teacher who has also been trained by the New York State School Music Association to judge these solos. The ten-minute experience consists of
the student performing prescribed scales, their prepared solo, and a short sight-reading example. Sightreading music is a skill that proves the student can translate notes and rhythms on the written page into a music melody with which the stu-
dent is unfamiliar. The music teachers of Chautauqua County have spent the past months readying their students for this event. It is the duty of the educator to help the student pick the correct solo (one which is appropriately challenging for the student’s present ability) and guide them through the process of learning a demanding piece of music literature. The teacher must also ensure the students know their scales and how to break down a bit of sight-reading presented to the student during the evaluation. It must be noted that alongside these nervously –waiting students will be their music teachers, who are just as excited to hear that their students have done their best. There are over 700 titles in the NYSSMA manual from which to choose; music for all instruments and ensembles ranging from an easy level I to the most challenging level VI—considered to be of collegiateor professional-level difficulty.

MIdTeRMS, CoNTINued fRoM paGe 1 The average exam period for each midterm test is one hour and 45 minutes, the proper amount of time educators believe is needed to answer questions that require each student to exhibit they have studied the materials they were presented and deepen their understanding of the major lessons and concepts they were taught during the fi rst half of the school year. While each course varies, many midterms count for approximately 10 to 15 percent of each students’ fi nal grade. For some students, scoring exceptionally on their midterm exam helps them reinforce their strong grades, while other students who may have average to below average marks can improve their grade by earning a high score on the midterm. The main cause of stress from midterms comes from students who feel overwhelmed by the comprehensive nature of the exam. While some critics of our country’s approach to educating middle and high school students believe midterms do not have a significant benefit, supporters of midterm testing think these comprehensive tests help students build a skill set that will be used even
after they graduate. The need to produce a large volume of work in a short amount of time, planning how to meet a specific deadline and learning from your mistakes from earlier in the year is what some classroom observers believe help students evolve. The Common Core standards in place here in New York State has been a fiercely debated topic over the past year or so, with the latest development being the board of the New York State Teachers Union unanimously withdrawing its support for the Common Core standards as they have been implemented, a major setback for the advocates and supporters of Common Core who believe the dedicated focus on those standards will result in ultimate success in classrooms not only in our state but across the country. There also have been repeated votes that have taken place over the past few months expressing “no confidence” in New York State Education Commissioner John King Jr., with some boards of education and teacher groups urging the New York State Board of Regents to remove him from office.

New York State Teachers Union bucks the trend of many of the other teachers unions across the nation who have strongly supported and promoted new academic standards, including for instruction in the subjects of language arts and math. How it will impact students locally in Chautauqua County remains to be seen, with future public forums, debates and discussions on the topic expected to take place in the coming months. Last year’s Common Core exams in New York State produced less than stellar results, but supporters continue to argue that those poor test performances should not be overanalyzed and that the move to the Common Core standards is part of a transition period that should result in higher test scores in the future. Like many things in society, the Common Core standards have become a bit of a political football, especially since they are a key component of President Barack Obama’s education agenda for the entire nation. While the Common Core standards were developed by nonprofit organizations from different parts of the country, the early criticism of them has at times take a partisan turn and is expected to be a focal point of the midterm elections that will be held later this year.

sheldon foundation, continued from page 15 The Ralph C. Sheldon Foundation has provided Jamestown elementary schools with the cost of the programming, primarily the leader resource materials and the classroom materials, which are distributed free to each child. The JA Elementary School Program shows students the relevance of education to the workplace through a sequential business and economics curriculum. It’s approach helps students understand their economic world and prepares them for academic learning and lifelong achievement. Through a variety of hands-on activities, delivered by adults from the community, students will better understand the relationship between what they learn in school and their successful participation in our economy. Each grade has different
learning units, which are age-appropriate, well researched and student tested. The JA lessons are also aligned with the common core ELA and math standards. “We have used the JA Kits throughout our after school programs for the past few years, but this was my first experience actually facilitating the series,” said Mrs. Poppleton. “The teacher guides are beautifully scripted, and the lessons are engaging, contemporary and appropriate to the grade level of the intended audience. The students loved learning about ‘Ourselves,’ and were eager to share their knowledge about earning, saving, and working together with their families. JA Kits are high impact/low prep resources that have proven invaluable to our after school community.”

ence that will carry on into all aspects of their lives, including public speaking, the interview process, presentation, self-esteem and value in working to produce results for personal happiness and growth.” The adjudicators, for their part, listen to the students and offer comments that help the students grow as musicians. They are
musicians in their own right; specialists in their instruments who have developed their craft and give insight into tips and tricks they have learned over the years. The adjudicators give a written assessment of the performance and score the student accordingly. This is a positive experience for the students, and a necessary one for the student
to be considered for the Spring All County Concert at Chautauqua Institution on the first Saturday in June. Although performing a solo on this day is a requirement to be considered for the All County Junior or Senior High Bands, many students choose to go through this for the experience and personal growth. There will also be sev-
eral elementary music students performing alone for the first time. Their adjudicators, who are well aware of this, will take this into consideration to ensure that the student walks away with a constructive, positive experience from Solo Fest. “We are honored to host more than 400 Chautauqua County Student Musicians and
their teachers here at Fredonia,” said Andrew Bennett, one of the Fredonia Central School music teachers who help organize the event. “This festival would not be possible without the support of our High School Principal Todd Crandall, maintenance staff, and faculty.

hot pink? Yes, but that doesn’t mean I want it decorating my walls. • Pick a color that makes you happy. This sounds like a no-brainer, but with all the trends we’re surrounded by on a
daily basis, we often end up picking things that are someone else’s favorite, not our own. Find something that is pleasing to you, because you are the one who will remember those details.
3. Pick a color that you wear often. Chances are that if you wear it often, it’s because that color looks good on you, and like tip No. 2, it makes you happy. Picking a color that complements your skin tone will make for great photos later. It doesn’t have to be the main color, maybe just an accent color to be incorporated into your bouquet. • Pick a color that is easily coordinated. This is where some research before hand could save you some time and frustration in the long run. Just because ‘David’s Bridal’ has every single color, shade, and hue known to man doesn’t mean that every other store will. Guests of honor such as grandparents, mothers and fathers will probably want to fi nd something that either matches or coordinates with the colors of the bridal party. Once again, pictures! The family pictures taken at your wedding will be
around for a long time. The time spent shopping with Grandma for the perfect shoes, and convincing your dad that he will look good in a tie is well worth it, especially for the memories that will be made during this time. Take a trip to the florist and get some ideas of what flowers you like best, also taking into account your budget. The flowers that you envisioned strolling down the aisle with may not come in the color that you pictured them in. Not to say that a florist can’t work with this, but you may want to talk with them beforehand. Also consider the venue. If your ceremony is indoors, will your décor match or clash with the flooring and wall colors that are already there? Deciding which you would rather compromise on if necessary, between the location or color scheme, will help make your planning easier. I truly hope that this helps you in your wedding endeavors, happy planning!

to God the Father and not Jesus Christ. We can thank and worship Jesus, but all prayer should be directed to His Father and that it is Father God Who will answer our prayers. Jesus also said, however, that you must ask Father God, using Jesus’ Name. Please allow me to illustrate it in this way. Most of us use a PIN (personal identification number) number to access our fi nancial accounts. Without this number, we can’t access our information or any banking services. According to the Bible, the Name of Jesus is like a PIN that allows God the Father to grant our petitions. The Name of Jesus represents all that Jesus Christ did for us and has made possible through His life, death, and resurrection from the dead. When we use Jesus Name in prayer, we will be able to unlock all the blessings and promises that our Heavenly Father has given us in His Word.

People are losing ground to the banks everyday and they are making decisions all the time to keep a nostril above the water. People who are weighed down with debt cannot be generous to God, generous to family, or gener-
ous to the poor. Debt is a fierce competitor against the plans of God. Secondly, God instituted the Year of Jubilee to restore relationships. Notice the use of the words “neighbor” and “brother”. God knew this fact: People who are crushed with financial pressure do not develop a sense of community. Debt will ultimately push people into selfishness, as they can only think about their own issues and forget about those around them. The number one cited reason for divorce in America is fi nancial pressure. Families are hurt as parents seek to increase work hours and spend less time at home. People borrow money from friends and that money often drives a wedge between them. Proverbs 22:7 says, “the borrower is servant to the lender.” Romans 13:8 says, “Owe no man anything except to love him.” Owing no man anything is the realm of freedom. Our nation has embraced reckless spending and debt accumulation and now there is a stiff ideological rift in this country. We are more divided than ever. Debt is destroying our sense of nationalism, patriotism, and community. Because now, debt has focused our attention on the money we owe to creditors, not the love we owe one another.

home, your situation is different. In order to qualify for the home office deduction, working from home must be for the convenience of your employer, not yourself, and the space you use cannot then be turned around and rented to your employer on top of the office deduction. If your home office situation proves to be helpful to your job, but not required, then your space doesn’t qualify for a home office deduction. Determining whether a home office space
qualifies isn’t near as difficult as calculating the square footage and allowable expenses to incorporate in the deduction. It appears that the IRS has recognized this challenge and the inaccuracies of the calculations needed and as a result, added a simplified option this year to reduce and/or minimize the complexity of the home office deduction. This simplified formula allows for the deduction of up to 300 square feet of home space and multiplies the
final footage by $5 for a maximum deduction of $1500. If following this method, no other home business expenses can be made and the deduction can only be made once, regardless of the number of businesses run from the space, nor can a similar home office deduction be made for a second living space. While the simplified option is just that, simple to calculate, it does have its limits and doesn’t work for all situations. Associated with the home office deduction are direct and indirect expenses. Direct expenses are those that apply to only the business portion of the home, while indirect expenses cover overall home expenses and are based on the percentage of the home used for business. Homes used for daycare facilities have their own set of allowable deductions and the selling of a home based business has complex tax implications. The IRS offers multiple publications to assist a taxpayer in
SUNY Fredonia’s Scholarship/Leadership Program Wins Top State Award, continued from pg 16 achievement, community service and the kinds of leaders they have become,” Herman said. “These students have provided tremendous leadership to a variety of campus organizations.” The Office of Student Affairs launched the Keeper of the Dream Scholarship and Leadership Program in 2002 to increase
recruitment, retention and graduation rates of students in general at SUNY Fredonia, with a specific focus on African-Americans, Latinos, AsianAmericans and Native American students. It is designed to nurture students with strong academic records, leadership experience in multicultural groups and a commitment to
making a positive contribution to the campus and community. Based on similar initiatives at the University of Maryland Baltimore County and Oakland University in Michigan, the Keeper of the Dream Scholarship and Leadership Program is rooted in the core concepts of learning and sharing information; mentoring;
family involvement; leadership development; scholarship; and community service. “What makes the program unique is that we blended scholarship and leadership activities,” Herman explained, instead of concentrating primarily on academics. “The students write an essay at the end of their senior year, and
many of them say that one of the reasons they came to Fredonia was because the scholarship required them to give something back in the form of leadership and community service.” Renewable scholarships have been awarded to 49 students accepted into the program since its beginning. Scholars have earned the SUNY Chancellor's Award for
calculating the allowable expenses for a home office deduction. Forms 8829 or 4684 are worksheets for calculating home business deductions and Publication 587 describes the details of using your house for a business and how to deduct expenses. In addition, many tax preparation software programs will step through the home office deduction requirements and perform the complex calculations for you, allowing this overwhelming task to become relatively simple to determine. Additionally, it’s a good idea to consult the IRS website at www.irs.gov for their tax tips when considering a home office deduction. For the home based business owner or the employee that works from home, a home office deduction can really add up and make an impact on your final taxable income. Just make sure your space qualifies and start crunching those numbers, office style.

ALERT - NO-FAULT BENEFITS UNDER ATTACK
• If you have been injured in an auto accident, New York State Law requires the insurance carrier for the vehicle you were in to cover your related medical expenses and any lost wages (Insurance Law Section 5103).
• Recently, many insurance carriers are attempting to avoid this legal duty by paying biased doctors, often from outside the area, to support them in cutting off these important benefits.
CAMPBELL & SHELTON LLP has taken the following steps to protect our clients: • We will send an investigator to any suspicious exams and videotape the physician. • We will sue any insurance carrier who denies our clients their benefits without a valid basis (we recently obtained a judgment against Allstate for a client’s unpaid benefits, costs and interest). For these and many other reasons, if you are injured in an automobile accident you need experienced and capable legal representation as soon as possible.

Early foul trouble slowed down, but couldn’t stop the force that is Silver Creek senior Jordan Brooks as the Black Knights handled Dunkirk on the road, 46-30, Monday night. Brooks picked up three quick fouls in the first half and found herself on the bench more than she’d care to be. Perhaps the rest was good for her as she compiled 19 points, 19 rebounds, nine blocks and four steals when she was on the court. The Black Knights (10-2, 5-2) and Lady Marauders (1-10, 0-6) both struggled mightily offensively in the first half. The score at the break was just 14-10 in favor of Silver Creek. Jade Lewis was able to help pick up the pace in the second half as she dropped eight points, five assists and five steals in the win. Maddie Crandall and Analeah Hernandez each had seven points to lead Dunkirk in that department. Brittney Morgan led the Lady Marauders with five rebounds.

opponent and cause turnovers, retaliation fouls and easy points the other way. The Fredonia Lady Hillbillies (10-2, 8-1) used that recipe to upend visiting Maple Grove, 48-40, Monday night at Fredonia High School. That defense was instrumental in helping Fredonia open up a 20-9 lead in the first half, including a 10-0 run to close the first quarter. Amie Adams scored six points in the final minute of play for Maple Grove (4-9, 2-5), which used a 12-2 run to close the gap late and give the Lady Hillbillies reason for concern. But in the end Fredonia was

able to hang on, led by 17 points, seven rebounds, four steals and a pair of assists from Morgan Genovese. Lauren Reyda was also a key cog in the offense with a season-high nine points off the bench. Emily Swanson was good for 14 points and 10 rebounds for the Lady Red Dragons while teammate Brianne Davis dropped 11 points and added three steals.
the Lady Hornets (2-12) dropped a 35-24 decision to Cattaraugus-Little Valley on Monday night. The first quarter was filled with scoring and saw the Lady Timberwolves (1-9) jump out to a 14-10 lead, but the second quarter featured just six combined points from the two teams.

CoMMeNTaRy, CoNTINued fRoM paGe 24 Last year, guys like Yasiel Puig, Gerrit Cole, Jose Fernandez, Wil Meyers, Chris Archer and Shelby Miller successfully made the jump from prospect to Major Leaguer. Every year contenders are buoyed by the arrival of young, hungry, talented ballplayers and the 2014 will certainly be no different. So what teams should we keep an eye on as the season approaches? What players are primed to help their big league clubs right now? Let’s take a look at some of the top names on the prospect board, shall we? BYRON BUXTON, OF, MINNESOTA TWINS — MLB.com has this guy listed as its No. 1 prospect in baseball. It’s easy to see why. He was the second overall pick by the Twins in the 2012 Draft (behind Carlos Correa). His tools rank off the charts. His ability to barrel up the ball is unmatched in the Minor Leagues. His combined slash
of .334/.424/.520 last season is a sure sign of things to come. He’s bigger than the reigning NL MVP, but with Buxton, think Andrew McCutcheon with his ability to hit leadoff or third in a lineup. Buxton probably has more power potential and he can straight up fly. Oh, and he’s only 20 years old. MIGUEL SANO, 3B, MINNESOTA TWINS — Yes, another Twin already. This mountain of a man has enormous power potential. He actually just came out and said he could hit 45-55 home runs in the Major Leagues. All he did last season was slug an eyepopping .610 and crush 35 home runs over two Minor League stops. He won’t turn 21 until the season starts, so he might need a little more seasoning before he hits the Majors, but a 1-2 punch of Buxton and Sano will be destroying pitchers in Minnesota very soon. Sano’s large frame probably projects him as a first baseman,

reigns to the starting shortstop position. He played third base for the Sox in the playoffs last year and has the arm to do it. He makes hard contact regularly and should shoot doubles all over Fenway Park. He does have the ability to hit for some power and hit 15 home runs in 116 Minor League games last year.

6-foot-4, 205 pounds, Correa seems too big to stay at shortstop, but his glove and arm are his best tools at this stage in his development. At 19 years old, he probably won’t see the Major Leagues until 2015 at the earliest, but he’s too good to leave off this list. He has all the makings of an elite shortstop and hopefully can help usher in a new era of excellence at the position. FRANCISCO LINDOR, SS, CLEVELAND INDIANS — Defense is the name of the game for Lindor. I know every team is looking for the next Nomar Garciaparra at shortstop, but that’s probably not going to happen. Lindor in a switch-hitter with some gap power and great baseball instincts. His arm is unreal while his range at shortstop is unmatched. His advanced approach at the plate should have Lindor in the Majors soon and he profi les as a No. 2 hitter in a lineup. He’ll steal bases in bunches and should develop into an All-Star.

Falconer on top of wrestling Ranks By Stefan Gestwicki (Clarence), Mitchell Star Sports Editor
For the fi fth straight week it was Falconer that was ranked the top small school wrestling team in Western New York, according to wrestlingreviewofwny.com. In Week 1 of the season Falconer was ranked No. 2 behind LewistonPorter, but ever since then the Golden Falcons have held onto the top spot. Lew-Port remained No. 2 among the small schools while Westfield/Ripley/Chautauqua Lake and Cattaraugus-Little Valley/ Pine Valley remained at seventh and eighth, respectively, for the second straight week. Appearing on the small school rankings at No. 10 is Dunkirk, which hasn’t made the top-10 all season. In the large school rankings, Jamestown remained at No. 8 for the second straight week. The Red Raiders opened the season at No. 4 but have been surpassed by a handful of schools since then. Of course, there have been plenty of standout individual performances this season that have garnered recognition for local wrestlers. As he has most of the season, Southwestern eighth-grader Shane Hetrick merited honorable mention status at 99 pounds. The top three in the weight class remained the same with Dylan Arena
Seaver (Lockport) and Trent Nadeu (Sweet Home) leading the way. Dunkirk’s Hector Colom similarly earned honorable mention at 106 pounds. He’s been there most of the season behind the top three of Jemone Carter (Niagara Falls), Troy Keller (North Tonawanda) and Connor Day (Iroquios). The 113-pound weight class is littered with Chautauqua County wrestlers. Southwestern’s Ryan Hetrick and Dunkirk’s Tito Colom remained Nos. 2 and 3 for the second straight week behind Kenmore West’s Anthony Argentieri. Falconer’s Rick Griffith remained on the honorable mention list. Maple Grove’s Brad Bihler continued to enjoy the No. 1 ranking at 120 pounds. He’s been holding off Olean senior Drew Marra and Niagara Falls junior Donny McCoy all season. The two remained Nos. 2 and 3, respectively. While Falconer freshman Jacob Peru has been an honorable mention at 126 pounds for the last number of weeks, WRCL junior Nick Hudson joined him by earning those honors this week. The local duo still trails the top three of Kellen Devlin (Amherst), Anthony Orefice (Lockport) and Freddie Eckles (Lake Shore). The top-3 at 132 pounds doesn’t feature any Chautauqua
County athletes as Austin Aquard (Pioneer), Cody McGregor (Tonawanda) and D.J. Marshall (Lew-Port) remained the top three for the second straight week. Fredonia sophomore Dakota Gardner remained No. 1 at 138 pounds once again. The Hillbilly leads No. 2 Rocco Russo (Frontier) and No. 3 Danny Graham (West Seneca East) — both seniors. Jamestown’s Dylan Lundmark kept pace as an honorable mention listing again. The 145-pound weight class featured a top-3 of Renaldo RodriguezSpencer (Cheektowaga), Nate Martin (Newfane) and Lucas McKeever (Gowanda) for a second consecutive week. Similarly, the 152-pound weight class doesn’t feature any local products as Ryan Kromer (Lew-Port), Eddie Hutschenreuter (Alden) and Chase Wheeler (Wilson) lead the pack. Kyle Ross, of Falconer, is the thirdranked wrestler at 160 pounds behind Alex Smythe (Eden) and Nate Schwab (Clarence). Chris Doubek (Randolph) and Howie Nolan (Maple Grove) earned honorable mention status at 160 pounds. CLV/PV’s Alex Kelly remained Chautauqua County’s best hope at 170 pounds with an honorable mention listing. He is chasing
the top-3 of Jake Weber (Clarence), Richie Jones (St. Joe’s) and Matt Bartnik (Cheektowaga). Likewise, Southwestern senior Tanner Hoose remained just outside the top-3 at 182 pounds. The top-3 there are Christopher Willms (Starpoint), Jacob Braunscheidel (St. Francis) and Jason Vranic (Niagara Wheatfield). Fresburg’s Trevor Spicer held onto the No. 2 ranking at 195 pounds for the second straight week. He’s behind James Empfield (Lancaster) and ahead of Dylan Nuhn (Lockport) in the rankings. Both Tyler Furlow (WRCL) and Jake Penhallow (Falconer) remained honorable mention. Marshall Taylor (Lockport), Brad Cunningham (Salamanca) and Tyler Hall (East Aurora) lead the pack at 220 pounds. Dunkirk freshman Nick Jones remained an honorable mention at 285 pounds. The top-3 at Erik Feitshans (Alden), Luke Catalano (Lake Shore) and Pat Faracca (Williamsville East).

Lunetta Will Take His Place With County’s Elite

Dan Lunetta will be inducted into the Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame at the organization’s 33rd Annual Induction Banquet, Monday, February 17th, at the Lakewood Rod and Gun Club. ——— It’s July 13, 1982 and I’m riding shotgun as Dan Lunetta steers his yellow compact car along Interstate 90 toward the Greater Buffalo Niagara International Airport. We are hours away from the Major League Baseball All-Star Game at Olympic Stadium in Montreal, and we will be in attendance. As employees of the Montreal Expos — Dan is the general manager of the Class A Jamestown Expos and I’m the assistant GM — we are fortunate to have procured tickets for the Mid-Summer Classic, which includes an invite to the Commissioner’s Party as well. Not a bad gig for a couple of Jamestown natives. For the record, the National League won, 4-1, and during the 2-hour, 53-minute game — I looked it up — Dan and I watch the likes of Rickey Henderson, George Brett, Reggie Jackson, Robin Yount, Carlton Fisk, Dennis Eckersley, Carl Yastrzemski and Goose

Alex Rodriguez, the New York Yankees slumping third baseman, meekly swung and missed. With that, the 2011 American League Division Series was over and the celebration for the men from Motown began in earnest. The win also meant that his friends — and rabid Tigers fans from his hometown — would continue their dream of a World Series championship, the first for the club since 1984. If nothing else, Detroit's 2011 season gave Lunetta and his pals plenty of fuel for when they convened again in July 2012 for their annual "State of the Tigers" lunch.

Those medals are now on display in Hungary where full honors were eventually bestowed the entire team. Due to the intense political unrest in Hungary, Farkus, with little training in the English language, defected to the United States in 1956 and began coaching gymnastics at Kent State University. He was befriended by a group of other Hungarian refugees who lived in the Akron area and got a
job in the furniture industry in Akron. After meeting a man from Jamestown who was a supervisor at the former Frank Chase Cabinet Company, Farkus was offered a job there, moving to the city in 1960. He later worked for many years at Crawford Furniture as a foreman. Sadly, in the late 1970s, he suffered a stroke and also lost the lower portion of his left leg, but his spirit helped him to fully recover and gain full use of an artificial leg. In 1982, he was finally able to return to his homeland to see his family. He was selected the YMCA's National Coach of the Year in 1996 as a contract employee and joined the coaching staff formally in 1998 and continued in that role until his death at 69 in March 2002. He is survived by his daughter, Robin and his son, Miki. In 2004, the Geza Farkus Achievement Award was established by Stroup's Gymnastics and is now given to a
gymnast who has overcome situations that would deter most gymnasts from continuing to compete in the sport.

DEC Accepting Applications For 2014 Summer Camp Program Contributed Article NYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) will be accepting online applications for its 67th Annual Summer Camp Program starting January 22, DEC Commissioner Joe Martens announced today. The 2014 camp season begins June 29. "For more than six decades, DEC's environmental education summer camps have nurtured New York's youth to become stewards of our state's natural resources," said Commissioner Martens. "Campers explore the outdoors under the guidance of caring camp staff, learning about the natural world and their place in it. We're looking forward to another great summer of welcoming youth to our facilities and sharing a love and respect for the outdoors." Parents may register campers beginning January 22 at 10 a.m. only through DEC's convenient, online registration system and pay by credit card, e-check or with a sponsor code. Fees for the 2014 camp season remain $350 per one-week session per camper. Summer Camp dates and a link to the online registration system are posted on DEC's website. Families without internet access should call the camp office at 518-402-8014 for information on how to register for camp alternatively. Youth 11 through 17-years old enjoy week-long adventures in conservation education at DEC's residential summer camps. They participate in a wide variety of outdoor activities such as fishing, bird watching, fly-tying, archery, canoeing, hiking, camping, orienteering and optional hunter safety education. Campers also learn about fields, forests, streams and ponds through fun, hands-on activities and outdoor exploration. DEC counselors teach youth conservation techniques used by natural resource professionals, such as measuring trees and estimating wildlife populations. For the first time at DEC's summer camp program since the 1980s, youth 11 through 13-years old can take a
trapper education course taught by DEC certified instructors at two of the four camps. Interested campers can register for Week 5 (July 27 to August 2) at Camp Colby and Week 7 (August 10-16) at Camp Rushford. The course is necessary to purchase a trapping license, should youth want to trap during trapping season. The trapping course at each camp will accommodate the first 25 campers who sign up for it. Visit DEC's website for more information on trapping licenses in New York State. All four environmental education camps serve children ages 11 through 13-years old: Camp Colby in Saranac Lake, Franklin County; Camp DeBruce in Livingston Manor, Sullivan County; Camp Rushford in Caneadea, Allegany County and Pack Forest in Warrensburg, Warren County. Pack Forest and Camp Rushford also host week-long Teen Ecology Workshops, which are more in-depth environmental studies programs for ages 14 through 17-years old. This year, Pack Forest will host six Teen Ecology Workshops and Camp Rushford will host two. All camps will operate for seven oneweek sessions (Sunday to Saturday), beginning June 29. Campers may attend camp for more than one week during the summer, but will not be able to stay at camp on the Saturday night between sessions. Parents must make alternate arrangements for the intersession if two or more consecutive weeks are selected. Sporting clubs, civic groups and environmental organizations are encouraged to sponsor one or more children for a week at camp. Groups who sponsor six paid campers will receive a scholarship to send a seventh child to camp for free. Information about becoming a sponsor is available on DEC's website. For more information please visit DEC's website, call 518-402-8014, visit "NYS DEC Summer Camps" on Facebook or write to DEC Camps, 4th Floor, 625 Broadway, Albany, New York 12233-4500.

Lake Erie Fishing Hotline Contributed Article NYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation
Anglers were catching some fresh steelhead on receding waters last weekend. Since then, the Lake Erie tributaries have iced up quickly, leaving little to no open water on most creeks. The upper reaches of Cattaraugus Creek are the best bet for finding open water. Productive wintertime steelhead baits include egg sacs, egg imitation flies, trout beads and hair jigs tipped with a waxworm (fished under a float). In cold water conditions, it is best to keep drifted offerings slow and deep, as steelhead are more lethargic and hugging the bottom. It is also good to concentrate efforts during the warmest part of the day when chasing winter steelhead. For those new to steelhead fishing, see the Steelhead Fishing in Lake Erie Tributaries page for information on steelhead fishing equipment, locations and links to stream maps.
Ice Fishing
Thanks to the extended cold spell, most lakes in western New York have good solid ice. Anglers should still keep in mind that ice thickness can vary greatly on the same body of water, especially near springs and stream inlets. Before you head out on the ice this winter, remember that a minimum of 3 to 4 inches of solid ice (blue or black, not white) is the general rule for safety. Drilling holes or tapping with a spud bar to check ice thickness is recommended on your way out. Safety ice picks, boot cleats, a throw rope and a floatation device are recommended safety supplies. Use good judgment and fish with a friend when possible. Those new to ice fishing can check the Ice Fishing Basics page for more information. See the Lake Contour Maps page for maps organized by county.
Small Boat Harbor
There has not been much change at the small boat harbor. There is thick ice of 9 inches or more in the inner harbor. Anglers are still catching plenty of bluegill and yellow perch on jigs with grubs, but need to weed through many small fish to take home a modest meal. Anglers also see the
occasional keeper crappie or northern pike as well. Some smelt are starting to show in the harbor. Tiny jigs with a single spike works well for smelt.
Chautauqua Lake
Chautauqua now has good ice of 8 inches or more lake-wide. Yellow perch are generally found from the shallows to the deeper holes, however action has been better in shallow zones of 8-15 feet of water lately. Mayville has been most mentioned, but don't overlook other areas of the lake. Anglers are catching decent numbers of keeper perch (with many more small throwbacks) on jigs with grubs and slender or small spoons with small minnows or a gob of spikes. Bluegill catches have also been good in the shallow zones off Mayville and around the south basin. Crappie have shown well at times during low light periods. Anglers take crappie in shallow zones on jigs with grubs, small jig heads with a minnow or by dead sticking a minnow. When fishing for crappie it is wise to jig at various depths as crappie are often suspended. It has been a slow week for walleye reports, but anglers previously picked up a few along deeper drop-offs in 30-40 feet of water. Anglers generally target walleye during low light periods with jigging Rapalas, spoons or shiners on a tip-up.
Cattaraugus County Lakes
A number of lakes in Cattaraugus County have good ice and offer a variety of ice fishing opportunities. Case, Harwood, Allen, New Albion and Red House Lakes mostly offer fishing for smaller yellow perch and a variety of sunfish. However, there is also an opportunity to catch large breeder trout that were stocked in the fall by the Randolph Fish Hatchery. Quaker Lake offers decent northern pike fishing and was also stocked with breeder trout in fall. If you need more fishing information or would like to contribute to the fishing report, please call or e-mail Mike Todd (716-851-7010; mttodd@ gw.dec.state.ny.us) or Jim Markham (716-366-0228; jlmarkha@gw.dec. state.ny.us).

Sabres Bidding To Host Scouting Combine
By John Wawrow
"The NHL's interest in Buffalo is very flattering and it is another example of the ways that we're trying to promote Buffalo and HarborCenter as an international hockey destination." - Ted Black, President & Alternate Governor, Buffalo Sabres
AP Sports Writer
The NHL is already interested in Sabres owner Terry Pegula's $172-million downtown Buffalo hockey/entertainment complex, even though the facility is not completed yet. Commissioner Gary Bettman told The Associated Press on Tuesday that the league is considering the Sabres' pitch to relocate the NHL's annual pre-draft scouting combine from Toronto to Buffalo. "It's something that's being discussed, and I know it's something that Ted Black is vigorously pursuing," Bettman said by phone, referring to the Sabres president. "It's a work in progress. We haven't made any decisions. But we're taking the expression of interest very seriously." Bettman made the revelation during an interview regarding Pegula and the facility he's building. It's called HarborCenter, and is currently under construction across the street from the Sabres arena. In a text to the AP, Black said discussions with the NHL regarding Buffalo hosting the combine have been taking place for the past

several months. "The NHL's interest in Buffalo is very flattering and it is another example of the ways that we're trying to promote Buffalo and HarborCenter as an international hockey destination," Black wrote. The facility is set to open in October and feature two ice rinks, 11 locker rooms, classroom space and a highperformance training facility. HarborCenter will be connected to the Sabres arena and eventually also include a full-service hotel, which is set to open next year.
The combine is run by the NHL's Central Scouting Bureau and is traditionally held in Toronto in late May. It brings together the league's top draft-eligible prospects for testing and workouts that are open to the NHL's 30 teams. The testing is exclusively done office inside a convention center room. Some teams, including the Sabres, prefer to also hold additional on-ice workouts with prospects. HarborCenter has the potential to do both on- and off-ice testing under one roof.
The complex is already attracting interest in hockey circles. Earlier this month, USA Hockey announced its annual All-American Prospects game will be played in Buffalo for the next two years. USA Hockey executive director Dave Ogrean has called HarborCenter a one-of-a-kind hockey facility in America. Ogrean anticipates HarborCenter will lead to USA Hockey hosting other events in Buffalo. The Sabres are preparing to make a bid to host the 2018 World Junior Hockey Championships.
