It’s no laughing matter, but then again it is. A Columbus Day trifecta of events is expected to bring hundreds to Jamestown this fall and with hopes to continue to cement the city’s image as a destination for comedy. When the inaugural Lucy Town Half Marathon and 5K race, comedy show and sports expo take place later this year, it will represent a year and a half of planning by The Jamestown Savings Bank Arena, Chautauqua Striders and The Lucy Desi Center for Comedy. The partnership is the first collaboration by the organizations to promote the city and their respective missions. According to Journey Gustafson, executive director of the Luci Desi Center for Comedy, a common thread to promote wellness ties all three events together. “The comedy show is a great way to spend an evening the night before the race...and is also in line with our mission, which is to enrich the world through the healing powers of laughter. There is no shortage of data that shows laughter is a healthy thing. So coupling that with a race - both long and short- is in keeping with the theme of happy, healthy living.”
“We are trying to establish Jamestown as a destination for comedy, so the idea of coupling a weekend where tons of runners would be coming to town with a comedy show made perfect sense, so we are thrilled to be working together.” Gustafson says Lucy Desi is working to secure a headliner for the show, which scheduled for October 12, the night before the race. According to Phil Genco, graphics and marketing manager at Jamestown Ice Arena, runners will register and complete the race at the venue, where a sports expo is also planned. The expo will showcase a wide variety of exhibits on the topics of health, athletic training, fashion and diet. “When people stop here to pick up their bag and registration number, they’ll see that there is a lot going on that weekend.” While there are numerous 5K races in the area, David Rhinehart of Chautauqua Striders said the half marathon is the first
for Chautauqua County. “We recognize that there are a lot of runners that may not go to Buffalo or Erie. We are also looking
convenient for those traveling from out of town. It is also the Canadian Thanksgiving. “We know that a lot of Canadians travel on the weekend, so we are hoping to pull tourism from Canada. It is also peak foliage in Chautauqua County and a beautiful time to showcase what we have to offer.” Registration for the race has already begun on line at LucyRace. com. Striders is offering a 12 week training program for the marathon, which will be available at a future date on its website. Rhinehart said that the race is also part of the runner of the year series, which awards points for participation in each of its twelve races. Univera Healthcare is the title at it as a way to draw people into sponsor for the weekend’s events.

A Laona Legacy By Scott Wise Senior Copy Writer
Recently, my wife’s great aunt passed away. She was (around) 95 (she stopped keeping track years ago), and was an incredible woman. I had the honor of speaking at her memorial service and sharing some of the precious few memories that I had of her. Her name was Geraldine Stonefoot, and she was truly a woman of the Word. I’m dedicating this commentary to her legacy. Geraldine was raised in Dunkirk on the corner of Willow Rd. and Brigham Rd. in Dunkirk, one of several children. She eventually continUeD on pg 2
SideS WeigH in on HYdroFrAcKing controVerSY By Michael Dean Star Contributing Writer
Editors note: Governor Andrew Cuomo has postponed a decision on whether to allow hydrofracking in New York State, while he awaits the completion of a DEC Environmental Impact Study. Marcellus Shale, named after the exposed shale outcrop location in the small Onondaga County town of Marcellus, NY, is a 390 million year-old sedimentary rock patch located in the northeast Appalachian basin. The shale however is not what’s stirring controversy in New York right now; it’s the estimated 489 trillion cubic feet of natural gas located within it. According to the New York State DEC, the high natural gas demands in New York, New Jersey, and New England, combined with new technology and mining methods such as horizontal drilling, or “hydrofracking,” New York state stands to see an economic boost of billions should Cuomo decide to legalize it. Unlike the already legal drilling process of vertical drilling, horizontal drilling is a process which requires hydraulic fracturing fluid, which is plagued with dispute over the safety of the chemicals used in the process. According to the New York State Water Resource Institute the exact hydraulic chemical components vary, but many include hydrocarbon distillates and biocides, which

According to NYC Environmental Protection, although less than one percent of the hydrofrack fluid contains toxins, the US Geological Survey asserts a typical 3 million gallon hydrofrack produces 15,000 gallons of chemical waste. The legality of the frac fluids used in the horizontal drilling have controversial legal beginnings. Section 322 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, and section 502 of

the Clean Water Act, also known the “Halliburton Loophole,” excluded hydraulic fracturing fluids from The Safe Drinking Water Act, and crafted the definition of “pollutant” to exclude: “water, gas, or other material which is injected into a well to facilitate production of oil or gas.” In a phone interview conducted with organizer Rita Yelda of the consumer protection group Food and Water Watch, Yelda attested to the dangers of horizontal
hydraulic fracturing. She stated that there is a great deal of risk when drilling through and next to drinkable groundwater sources, and cited a 2011 Duke University study by Stephen G.

SUNY Fredonia announces the first-ever Border-to-Border Jazz Artists Residency for the campus and community with events featured February 18-22 in Mason Hall on the SUNY Fredonia campus. The week-long residency features visiting artists and pedagogues who originate from the Southwestern border of the US, specifically, El Paso, Texas. Visiting artists Billy Townes and Ruben Gutierrez (jazz piano), and Curt Warren (jazz guitar) will work with students on an individual basis, as well as with the curricular Fredonia Jazz Ensemble led by SUNY Fredonia professor Bruce Johnstone and Fredonia’s Latin Jazz Ensemble, under the direction of Fredonia’s Dr. John Bacon. Although each artist is well established in his own right–whether it be Latin jazz, progressive jazz, mainstream jazz, or funk–these three artists present our community with a wonderful opportunity to share music across regions. These artists will share both new and old, and north and south with our own acclaimed faculty artists and continUeD on pg 11

commentArY, continued From Pg. 1 married and moved to Fredonia, buying a house on her wedding day. She lived there for most of her life, and now my in-laws occupy the residence- truly keeping it ‘all in the family’. As a woman who was frugal and careful, she quickly became a Jill-ofall-trades. Geraldine grew flowers in her backyard which she sold to passers by on their way to town from the country. She drove an old ‘school bus ‘ (really just a car by today’s standards) and helped her husband, Lester, fi x up their old farmhouse and maintain it as something beautiful. While she never had kids of her own, Geraldine lived vicariously through her many nieces and nephews, which became great nieces and nephews, which became great-great nieces and nephews. She cherished each and every member of her vast family, and made an effort to be involved in their life in some capacity, no matter the distance. What impresses me most about this great woman, though, was her love for the Lord. She was a lifelong follower of Jesus Christ, and developed her faith in the Bible above all else. Geraldine believed in divine healing- that she could maintain her health by trusting in the promises of God. So many people discount this as ‘positive thinking’ or simply coincidence, but this woman lived it. She understood that God, who loved her so much, didn’t want her to be sick, that He didn’t want her to suffer. Geraldine visited the hospital once in her long life, after have a shard of glass accidently go into her ankle. She stayed long
enough to be reminded that she loved her faith above all else, and went home. A few days later, the glass came out- and no scar or infection ever followed. To you- it may sound crazy. Thank God for modern medicine and the doctors that practice it. But this woman was so sure of the fact that God is the ultimate physician- the ultimate doctor- that she rested in that trust for 95ish years of a great life. Her faith is an example to me, an example of the kind of faith I’d like to have. Too many times we think a task is too daunting, so we rely on others to help us through it. Who better to rely on than the creator of the universe who so loved us that He healed us from every sickness and disease? Faith comes through the Word- and she trust and leaned on that Word every day of her life. Lastly, I’d like to thank my mother-in-law and my uncle-in-law for giving so much of themselves in Geraldine’s last years. As so many do in their old age, she began to lean more on the assistance of others. There were memories that weren’t so sweet, but through the love and patience, these two helped her make the move from earth to Heaven with relative ease. I can’t wait to see her again in Heaven. To thank her for being such a big part of my wife’s life, and for Joshua to see some of the bright red hair that is his proud lineage. I can’t wait to see her gardening her flowers in a heavenly garden, and watch her passion for the Lord unfold before Him. Thanks, Geraldine, for being such an incredible lady.

Chautauqua County Humane Society Pet of the Week
Pets of the Week
This week we are featuring “Fairuza” and “William”. Fairuza is a pretty one-year-old cat that would like nothing more than to have a quiet home of her own. She is a little shy at first, but likes to have attention once she is comfortable. She likes to snuggle under a blanket and peak out to see what is going on. Fairuza has been with us since July and this sweetheart is ready to move on. William is one of the staff favorites. He is a great older dog that likes to cuddle and be with people. He has lots of love to give and is just waiting for the chance to show you. William also qualifies for our Senior for Senior adoption program. If either of these pets sounds like the one for you, stop by the Strunk Road Adoption Center and say “hi”. You will be glad you did.

For some winter fun and great scenery, the Audubon Center & Sanctuary has planned a cross-country ski outing in Allegany State Park. Allegany’s Art Roscoe Ski Area boasts 24 miles of beautifully maintained cross country ski trails. Because of its elevation, this area often has snow when other places in our region do not. Several loops provide opportunities for novice through advanced skiers. Audubon’s van will leave from the Center at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 23, and return at 4 p.m. With a capacity of ten people, once the Audubon van is full, others may join if they provide their own transportation. Cost is $25, $15 for Friends of the Nature Center. The fee will be reduced by $5 for those providing their own transportation as long as the Audubon van is full.

RELIGION SECTION Keeping the Faith
Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church Fredonia www.fcfredonia.org
Dear Pastor, does God have a plan for my life? If so, how can I find it out? We previously saw that the first step to receiving direct guidance from God was to ask God for wisdom ( James 1:5). The second step was to “tune in” to God’s voice by spending time in His presence (Acts 13:2). Today I want to address the next step to accessing God’s plan for your life…, “How does God speak to us?” I have had many Christians report their confusion when it comes to hearing God’s voice. This happens mostly due to a lack of Biblical
knowledge. While God can speak to us in many ways, I’ll be sharing with you from the Bible, the major way that God shares His will. Romans 8:16 states, “The (Holy) Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.” This scripture says that the Holy Spirit speaks to us through our spirit. Although this method is the primary way God speaks to us, it’s often neglected or ignored. I think some Christians seek more “glamorous” experiences like visions or dreams or an “opinion poll” from others. God meant His guidance to be simple, direct, and easily available.
This witness mentioned previously is a “knowing” or “sense in our heart” for what to do. While greeting cards use the concept of “heart” to mean our emotions, the Biblical use of the word “heart” more accurately relates to our conscience. The inner witness, then, is the voice of our conscience. When God speaks to our heart, we don’t hear words, but we experience more of a “hunch”. For example, you “hear the voice” of conscience when you sin. Something in your heart tells you when you’ve done wrong. That same inner voice that “corrects” you, is the same voice that “directs” you if you’re open
to hear. The Bible encourages us to follow our heart when it comes to making choices in life (Proverbs 3:5, 4:23). Unfortunately, we tend to make our decisions using our head, or our emotions, without taking time to listen to our heart. How can we prepare our heart to be more open to hearing from God? We can spend time in God’s presence through prayer and worship. This increases our sensitivity to His witness in our heart so that we can better tune in and hear what God’s saying!

God Provides a Child Matt and Lacey were married in 2004 and within a year they desired to start a family. For this young couple, having children would become a fight of faith. Doctors had told Lacey that her body was insulin resistant and that her body was not able to produce the needed cells for reproduction. She had developed polycystic ovaries that contributed to her infertility. Matt and Lacey decided not to begin fertility medication. Something in their conscience told them that it was not the time. They sought out second opinions but it only confirmed what they had originally been told. In August of 2007 it appeared that their prayers had been answered.
After taking a pregnancy test, Lacey had tested positive. The joy only gave way to disappointment as Lacey’s body rejected the pregnancy soon after. It seemed like a devastating blow to this young couple but they didn’t give up. They didn’t blame God and walk away from believing that He would provide a child. Matt and Lacey stayed faithful. After continuing to pursue medical help and treatment, Matt and Lacey received the manifestation of their prayers. Due to her work schedule, Lacey couldn’t typically attend our Wednesday night service. But on a Wednesday in mid January of 2008, Lacey described that day as having a persistent urge to be in service that night. Though she would get home late
after a long day she made sure to be in church. She even called friends within the church to give her a ride so she wouldn’t give in to fatigue and stay home. She sensed that God had something for her that night. As Lacey sat through the message and the prayer meeting that followed she quietly asked the Lord why He had brought her there. I remember that evening. As I was getting ready to close the prayer meeting the Lord spoke very clearly in my heart. I knew that I was to call Lacey to the front of the church for prayer but I didn’t know what for. As Lacey approached the altar for prayer, I had no idea what I was going to say. As she stood there I just walked up to her and put one
hand on her head. Before I could blink an eye I said, “The time of your waiting is over.” I would never recklessly say something like that. I knew that the Holy Spirit had spoken through me. It shocked me as much as it did Lacey. She knew instantly what those words meant. As tears were flowing down her face she went back to her seat. Only two weeks later, Lacey was pregnant. God had supernaturally rewarded her and Matt with a child. He had brought her to service that night just to let them know that He had heard their prayers. Every week when I see this young family in church, I am reminded of God’s willingness to give us the desires of our heart.

Your Retirement Is Definitely Worth Planning For You’ve heard it said before: Timing is everything. Especially when it comes to starting your Social Security benefits. More than 90% of working Americans are counting on Social Security to replace part of their current incomes when they retire, but the truth is the majority of those already drawing benefits receive permanently reduced amounts due to ill-informed timing decisions. In fact, many Americans fail to take into account the true impact of factors such as age, job status, taxes and marital status when deciding when to start receiving benefits. And that can prove to be a costly mistake. Don’t make the same mistakes other retirees make. It could mean leaving money on the table at atime when you’ll need it most. That’s why it’s important to develop a strategy to maximize your household Social Security benefits and enhance your overall retirement income plan. After all, a little planning now can go a long way – and in this case, we’re talking a lifetime.

As life moves along we accumulate various assets. Some are large items like your home and autos. Others are not as obvious like hobby paraphernalia or just plain old adult toys like snowmobiles, jet-skis, boats or antique vehicles. Uncovered losses that involve these assets can have a devastating effect on your financial planning goals. The prospects and clients of the Rhoe B. Henderson Agency are encouraged to purchase larger deductibles and higher liability limits. You know what you can lose if you go from a $250 deductible on your cars and home to a $500 deductible or $500 to $1000. If you have $100,000 of liability and you are sued for $500,000 you have a huge problem. We work with the client to determine how they want to do business.

Each trip that he takes is carefully planned out to gain a better understanding of the climate, terrain, vegetation and everything else that goes into energy production. With a brain like a supercomputer, he is able to bring up incredible facts at the drop of a hat, and memorizes every bit of important information before his trip. “Before I went to Egypt, I learned all the dynasties from the Early, Middle and Late Egyptian period,” he said, struggling through humility to admit. “Same for China, I learned them all. It helps me better understand the area if I know everything about the society, geology, biology etc. before I go.” During a recent trip to Antarctica, which Strauser returned from on Jan. 15, he took part in many activities that few in the history of mankind have dared to. “We went kayaking around the ice flows,” said Strauser. “There was one point where there were two walls of 100 feet of ice on either side of us- and they were quickly closing in. It was quite literally a ‘swim for your life’ scenario.” Strauser’s wife, Sally, is incredibly supportive of his adventures, and she enjoys to do some traveling of her own. “I just know how happy it makes him. I look at the pictures of him at the top of the mountains or after he’s
climbed something (side note- Dr. Strauser has an instinctual need to climb anything and everything he possibly can- from mile high cliffs in Peru to 26,000 feet mountains in the Himalayas) and he’s thrilled,” said Sally. “Or from the tunnels in Cambodia, or the hot air balloons above the Serengeti. He loves it, he just loves it.” While Sally prefers her trips to be a little more laid back, she has enjoyed her fair share of adventures as well, like scaling a glacier on an Alaskan cruise, or exploring the Caribbean islands.

Pianists Billy Townes and Ruben Gutierrez, and guitarist, Curt Warren, are top-notch artists and will offer valuable individual and group instruction to students. Their residency recognizes an interest in Latin music that has been present on our campus for a generation, but which has intensified immensely in recent years. Because this specific kind of residency is somewhat of a first, I hope it
serves as a model for future performances and pedagogical exchange. It is also an excellent opportunity to showcase the talent of our jazz ensembles, and allow them to further explore the genre of Latin jazz music with master artists.” Throughout the week, the artists will give private and group lessons and clinics for SUNY Fredonia students. There are also several events that are open to the community. All events are free of

Events that are open to the community include: This residency is made possible with generous support from the Carnahan-Jackson Fund for the Humanities, the SUNY Fredonia Professional Development Center, the SUNY Fredonia Faculty Student Association, and the Fredonia Jazz Ensemble.

HYdroFrAcKing, continued From Pg. 1 Hydraulic fracturing companies such as Southwestern Energy, with drilling operations in neighboring Pennsylvania, claim their hydraulic fracturing methods are safe and responsible. They assert: “On a voluntary basis, we report frac fluid composition to the “Frac Focus Chemical Disclosure Registry,” which is a voluntary registry maintained by the Groundwater Protection Council – a national association of groundwater regulatory agencies.” According to Brad Gill, the executive director of Independent Oil and Gas Association of New York “Regardless of politics, New Yorkers are clearly realizing that exploring for natural gas has tremendous potential to create jobs.” Likewise, the American Petroleum Institute, a trade association encompassing over 400 of the top energy companies in the world including the energy giant Halliburton, created a special advocacy website
named Energy Tomorrow. They assert: “Hydraulic fracturing technology has a strong environmental track record and is employed under close supervision by state, local and federal regulators.” Whichever side of the issue you’re on, natural gas has a great deal of history here in Chautauqua County. First Gas Well in Fredonia The educational website Naturalgas.org states the origins of the natural gas industry are in Fredonia. “In 1821, the first well specifically intended to obtain natural gas was dug in Fredonia, New York by William Hart. After notic-
ing gas bubbles rising to the surface of a creek, Hart dug a 27-foot well to try and obtain a larger flow of gas to the surface. Hart is regarded by many as the ‘father of natural gas’ in America. Expanding on Hart’s work, the Fredonia Gas Light Company was eventually formed, becoming the first American natural gas company.” Sources cited: NaturalGas.org, www.dec. ny.gov, wri.eas.cornell.edu, www.greenchoices.cornell. edu/downloads/development/ marcellus/Marcellus_CaRDI. pdf, www.swn.com/Pages/ default.aspx, www.api.org/, www.nicholas.duke.edu/cgc/ pnas2011.pdf

“LiFe WeLL LiVed. eVerY dAY” by Patricia Pihl Managing Editor
As an increasing number of baby boomers look toward retirement and beyond, experts say a paradigm shift has occurred which makes the group different than previous generations. As this growing segment of the population enters its golden years, its expectations about what it wants from the aging experience is changing. Helping to meet those needs in a new and dynamic way is Lutheran of Jamestown, which began to reshape its vision of what long-term care would be to reflect the needs of this growing population. “Seventy-five use to be old; 75 is now young,” says Lutheran CEO Tom Holt. About six or seven years ago, the organization began to create what Holt says was a “different vision” of longterm care. “People have connected long-term planning with skilled nursing and don’t think past that. At the time, we had a lot of people in the nursing home that didn’t belong there, because there weren’t any other options.” Taking advantage of funding available through a HEAL NY (Health Care Efficiency and Affordability) grant, Lutheran has closed 45 percent of its nursing home beds, but added 100 beds to assisted living as well as adding the medical model day care. It has also expanded community support for individuals to use home-based tech-
nologies, like Smartment®, which is the newest alternative for remaining independent. Smartment® is a name registered by Lutheran that refers to modern homes and apartments where technology can improve quality of life by preventing costly hospitalizations and emergency department visits, while respecting resident privacy. Holt says the apartments, which include monitoring technologies, have allowed seniors to be in the least restrictive environment. “Due to regulations that exist in New York, these individuals would not be appropriate for assisted living, so (in the past) would have to be in a nursing home. This is what we are trying to get to – keeping people in the least restrictive setting.” Simplifying Access to Care Holt says another goal has been consolidating its business model, starting with its name. “We used to be Lutheran Social Services, LSS, Lutheran Home, all of which carried the connection to the nursing home. People aren’t gong to plan for that nursing home placement, so we wanted to deemphasize that. Now all of our services are under one name…Lutheran.” Rather than having seniors and their family members navigate the system on their own, Holt says all people need to do is to call Lutheran’s 665-4945 number and they will be assisted by a service coordinator

who will get their questions answered from that point forward. “So you don’t have to look in the phone book and try to figure out from 15 different names who to call. We are going to find out where you fit within our six-step continuum (of care).” When an individual needs to move within those levels of care, due to injury or another reason, that same person will facilitate them through the process. Holt says feedback indicates that families especially appreciate the convenience and consistency of having one person assigned to a loved one’s care. Patricia Eck-
wahl, director of marketing characterizes the process as “seamless,” noting service coordinators work with every family. “Demystifying” the Aging Process In an effort to get people thinking differently about the aging process, Lutheran began a series called “Times of Your Life Seminars,” which kicked off last May at JCC. Almost 500 have attended the series with topics such as assistance with Medicare and drug benefits, deciding which paperwork to keep, and finding coupons and discounts on line.
“One of the things we are doing is building relationships now when (seniors) are healthy and independent, so that when something arises, they don’t have to think about where to call because we have connected with them though the educational series,” Holt explains. “We are trying to help people plan for the aging process a little bit more proactively. Unless you are already in the system, you make the decision to come into a nursing home because something bad has happened to you that is unanticipated. Those are the worst times to be planning.”
Sandy Kindberg, is a resident of the Smartment® Building located on the Lutheran Campus who says she is glad she moved while she was still healthy enough to make her own decision. “I love it here and it’s easier for my kids. Now we all have peace of mind.” “This is a tremendously exciting time,” says Holt, “because we have such unique opportunities to do good in a different ways than longterm providers have been able to do in the past.” For more information on its services, call 716-665-4905 or visit http://www.lutheran-jamestown.org.
“The senior years can be the best of times, with proactive planning and educa education.”

assisted 90 property owners in 11 separate neighborhood clusters. Preliminary applications for the Downtown Renaissance Block Challenge are now available and must be submitted by March 8, 2013. Jim Goodling, JRC’s Downtown Project Associate, said that the application process will involve two steps. The preliminary application must describe, in general terms, a group’s proposed projects. Groups that meet the program’s requirements will be asked to submit a more detailed application. The successful Renaissance Blocks will then be announced in May. JRC will provide up to $20,000 in matching funds per project and up to $30,000 in matching funds for buildings with multiple projects. While funding from other sources can be used, there must be private money in the project.
This program represents a change from past downtown assistance programs sponsored by the JRC, which supported work at individual buildings. Now, to encourage more concentrated and targeted investments, multiple buildings must be included in a proposal. “A healthy downtown has property and business owners who recognize the need to work together to improve the value and profitability of their enterprises. When investment happens on a coordinated basis, the impacts are more visible and long-lasting,” said Goodling. Anyone interested in learning more about the program or receiving application material should contact Jim Goodling at 664-2477, extension 223, or at jim@jamestownrenaissance.org.

gift to mom turns into a family tribute By Jerry Reilly Fredonia State Sports Information Director
Taylor Bourne had heard about Pink The Rink before he came to Fredonia State. He knew that the Blue Devils wore pink jerseys and socks one game every year as a way to bring awareness to breast cancer. What Bourne didn't know was that he'd have first dibs on buying his own jersey. “Coach explained it to us,” he recalled of the conversation Meredith had with all the players last fall, “that if we wanted to buy our own jersey, we could.” Bourne did not have to think twice – but not so much as a tribute as a gift. He remembered how his mom, Adele, had gone to the trouble of buying his junior team jersey and had surprised him with it. Now he wanted to return the gift. “I originally bought it as a birthday gift, or for Mother's Day, I hadn't made up my mind which,” he said. “I had saved up money from my summer job so I thought I'd buy it and give it to her.” His younger brother Rick chipped in, too. The plan changed last Sept. 29. ------It was around February 2011 that Adele Bourne called her two boys together and broke the news. She hadn't been feeling well and had gone to see a doctor. The diagnosis: cancer. It was a blow to Taylor and Rick. Their mom had been their rock, especially the previous year. “She really stepped up huge after our dad died,” Taylor said. Adele assured the boys that everything would be alright. “She told us,” Taylor said, “that we would get through this as a family.” And so her battle began. coNtINUED oN pG 3
sabres can’t solve anderson in 2-0 loss to sens Contributed Article Associated Press
The first short-handed goal of Erik Karlsson's career gave Craig Anderson all the support he needed against Ryan Miller and the Sabres. Karlsson and Erik Condra scored goals less than two minutes apart in the second period and Anderson made 42 saves as the Ottawa Senators defeated Buffalo 2-0 on Tuesday night. Anderson, who picked up his second shutout of the season, was especially sharp in the third period with the Sabres pressing for the tie as the Senators snapped a mini two-game slide. coNtINUED oN pG 5

Commentary continued from pg 1 defensive plays as Barnett and Wilson were, chances are you’ll rack up some tackles (even if those tackles were after a 15-yard gain on a run right up the middle). Remember, Paul Posluszny led this team in tackles for many years and he wasn’t exactly Hall of Fame material. These are the kinds of moves that make the NFL offseason great. How many of you showed up to work the morning after these moves were made and talked about them with coworkers? How many of you sent out a tweet or posted a message on Facebook when you heard about the cuts? That’s the power of the National Football League. We care about it yearround. We can’t get enough of speculations, mock drafts and predictions for next season. Heck, most people probably already forgot which two teams lost in their respective conference championship games. We’re already on to next season. This particular offseason will be no different than any other. Coaches, general managers and the national media will try to convince us that some backup quarterback (Nick Fowles, perhaps) is worth a huge contract somewhere else. Some big name superstar (could it be Percy Harvin?) will hold out for a new contract, and then show up to camp out of shape. T.O. and Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson will have their annual rumored comebacks. It will be the same storylines that we see every year. It’s as predictable as the WWE, yet we love it anyway. And don’t get me wrong, I’m just as guilty as the rest of the country. I spend a good portion of my days watching videos, tracking mock drafts and reading articles about potential free agent landing spots. The NFL offseason probably garners more national attention than the NHL or NBA regular seasons. That speaks volumes about the immense popularity of the NFL. We’re even being treated to some surprise stories this year. First you have JaMarcus Russell’s comeback. This is even greater than all the T.O. and Brett Favre comebacks put together. This is the guy, you remember, who was drafted No. 1 overall by the Oakland Raiders in 2007. He held out until he was given some $60 million dollars and then proceeded to, and I won’t mince words here, stink up the place. Over three seasons he threw more interceptions than touchdowns, lost 15 fumbles and put up a miserable passer rating of 65.2. He ballooned in weight and was arrested for possession of codeine syrup without a valid prescription. Bottom line: the guy was a train wreck. In the minds of many, he’s the biggest bust in NFL draft history (cue sigh of relief from Ryan Leaf, Tony Mandarich and Buffalo’s own Aaron Maybin). But wait, Russell is down to a ‘trim’ 308 pounds and attempting a comeback. If nothing else, at least the guy is surrounding himself with the right people, such as former
NFL quarterback Jeff Garcia. Maybe it will work out for Russell, but the odds are not in his favor. Another hot topic that’s being forced down our throats on every sports channel, website, newspaper and magazine is the contract situation of Super Bowl-winning quarterback Joe Flacco. I agree that the guy should get paid. He’s won a playoff game in every one of his seasons in the NFL. Just to make the playoffs five straight years is an astounding accomplishment in today’s parity-driven league. But to win and win often, that’s a totally different story — just ask Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan. Yet to say that Flacco should be the highest paid quarterback in the league is sheer stupidity. There’s a lot more to consider than play on the field or statistics when giving out a massive contract. He has to be a leader in the clubhouse and in the community. He has to be the face of the franchise. Ideally, he should also be the best player on your team. One huge contract can really throw a wrench into a team’s salary cap plans so that one player better be a difference maker. Is Joe Flacco that guy? I can’t say for certain. I’ve been a Flacco-backer for the past two years while many other people threw him under the bus, but I’m just glad I don’t have to make the call and shell out the dough. Those are some fun stories that will keep the public occupied for a time, but what most fans are looking forward to is the NFL Entry Draft. Heck, halfway through the actual season teams like the Kansas City Chiefs and Jacksonville Jaguars were already looking ahead to this year’s draft in hopes of finding that franchisechanging player. How many guys does ESPN have on staff that do nothing but mock drafts? At least two that come to mind immediately, and they probably have people working under them. It’s an event that 20 years ago was held on a random weekday morning and maybe, just maybe, a fan would open up the newspaper to see who their favorite team drafted in the first round. Though chances are they’ve never heard of that player unless they were an avid college football fan as well or their team drafted in the first couple picks. Now, it’s a virtual media circus. The Senior Bowl, the Draft Combine and the Draft itself all receive 24/7 coverage. The first day of the draft is primetime, must-see TV. Everyone has an opinion on who this team will take and where this player will land. Teams mortgage their future to trade up for that face-ofthe-franchise-type guy (Redskins, RG3). It’s mindblowing how huge the draft has gotten and yet another example of just how popular the NFL is. It makes you wonder if all this extra stuff — free agency, draft, trades, rumors, speculation, predictions — isn’t actually bigger than the game itself.

playoffs begin next week continued from pg 1 better recently, but a Dunkirk run on the boys’ side would be an upset of mammoth proportions. Class B2 provides a little more intrigue, though the winner of B2 will almost certainly fall to Olean in the crossover game on both the boys’ and girls’ sides. For the boys, the Fredonia Hillbillies (11-4) are young, but loaded with talent. They have as good a chance as anyone in a balanced class with Cleveland Hill (14-1) perhaps being the favorite ahead of Buffalo East (11-5), Akron (11-5) and Roy-Hart (11-5). Southwestern (10-6) has some shooters, but probably not enough depth and Falconer (3-13) is in waituntil-next-year mode. The girls’ version of B2 is a little more set in stone. While Fredonia (6-10) and Southwestern (6-10) have both had moments this year, Wilson (14-1) and the Buffalo Arts
Academy (13-2) are probably too strong to topple at the top. Chautauqua County probably won’t make too much noise in Class C1. Oracle (17-1) has far and away the best record of any of the boys teams with Randolph (8-7) and Cassadaga Valley (8-9) next, but probably not posing any real threat. The Randolph Lady Cardinals (12-3) will probably battle it out with Holland (9-3) on the girls’ side with Allegany-Limestone (8-7) a wild card to come out of C1. Class C2 is absolutely loaded with top-tier teams. On the boys’ side, Silver Creek (17-0) has a scary-good team, but Maple Grove (16-1) has a talented bunch as well. Portville (15-2) has an awful lot of wins, but both of its losses are to the Black Knights. Westfield (9-4), Chautauqua Lake (8-8) and Frewsburg (7-10) have steady this year, but Silver Creek is the class
of the class. The girls’ side of Class C2 is nearly as top-heavy. Frewsburg (16-1) is playing with all the confidence in the world while Chautauqua Lake (14-0) can run out as an athletic starting five as you’ll see in girls basketball. Don’t sleep on Maple Grove (10-7) while Silver Creek (7-8) could pull off an upset or two behind the play of center Jordan Brooks. Class D is where you’ll find what promises to be some heated games between teams that know each other very well. The boys’ bracket will be filled with the likes of Sherman (10-4), Brocton (13-2) and Clymer (11-4) at the top. Panama (5-10), Pine Valley (5-10), Forestville (4-12) and Ripley (0-11) simply won’t have the firepower to hang with any of the top teams. The usual suspects make up the top of Class D for
the girls. Sherman (15-1) sports the top scorer in Section 6 with Elle Reed while Clymer (13-2) is no slouch either. Pine Valley (9-7) and Ellicottville (9-5) are in that second tier that could open some eyes as well. Panama (4-9), Brocton (4-10), Forestville (6-9) and Ripley (0-11) will likely each fall victim to the likes of the higher seeds. The first three rounds of boys’ action are crammed into a four-day window. After the first round on Tuesday, the second round will be Wednesday before the quarterfinals on Friday. All start times are scheduled for 7:00 p.m. The girls’ quarterfinals will begin Saturday, Feb. 23 for all classes except AA, which will play Tuesday, Feb. 26. Be sure to check the Chautauqua Star and starnewsdaily.com for results and coverage of all the action.
Wrestling state finals continued from pg 1 The 113-pound class was one of the few that didn’t feature a Chautauqua County athlete as Lew-Port’s Andrew Shomers downed Olean’s Andrew Marra, 105. Nick Hudson of WestfieldRipley-Chautauqua Lake was the most successful local wrestler in the class with his fourth-place finish. At 120 pounds, top-seeded Kellen Devlin of Amherst breezed through the competition and pinned Lackawanna’s Abdul-Fatah Alshawai in the finals in 4:25. Devlin did this on the heels of a 16-0 dismantling of Russell Gattuso of Alden in the semifinals. Southwestern’s Dylan Lundmark placed fourth in the weight class. Falconer’s Brandon Muntz earned Most Outstanding Wrestler honors for Division II with his championship in the 126-pound class. He met top-seeded Dakota Gardner of Fredonia in the finals and held on for a slim 2-0 victory. Muntz recorded a quick pin in the quarterfinals before downing Lackawanna’s Majed Mohamed, 6-4, in the semis. Gardner followed a similar path to reaching the finals with a quick pin in the quarters before a 5-1 decision over Lew-Port’s Delbert Marshall in the semi-finals. Top-seeded Renaldo Rodriguez-Spencer prevailed at 132 pounds after second-seeded Tyler Cassidy
of Fredonia was upset in the semi-finals. Cassidy recorded a pin of Olean’s Tom Weis in the quarterfinals, but couldn’t handle Lew-Port’s Ryan Kromer and fell, 6-4. RodriguezSpencer then had no trouble with Kromer, breezing to an 18-7 decision. Cassidy pitched a 4-0 shutout to claim third place over Cody McGregor of Tonawanda. At 138 pounds, Southwestern’s Brian Westerdahl couldn’t overtake top-seeded Dan Reagan of Lew-Port in the finals and had to settle for second place. Westerdahl downed Lackawanna’s Mujahid Ahmed 4-2 in the quarterfinals before pummeling Alden’s Ed Hutschenreuter, 11-2 to reach the finals. Unfortuantely for the Trojans, Reagan proved why he earned that No. 1 seed. Another No. 1 seed met the No. 2-ranked wrestler at 145 pounds. Fredonia’s Jude Gardner won two decisions by a combined 22-6 to reach the finals, but couldn’t finish the job as Roy-Hart’s Drew Hull prevailed by the narrowest of margins, 1-0. Both of Fredonia’s Gardner brothers will now have to hope for an at-large bid to the State Finals after each placed second at the qualifiers. The 152-pound class proved to be another that Chautauqua County couldn’t make any noise in. Eden’s Alex Smythe
downed James McLean of Pioneer, 10-2, in the finals after disposing of WestfieldRipley-Chautauqua Lake’s Nick Zentz and Randolph’s Chris Doubek to get there. Zentz was able to win the consolation match with a pin to earn third place. Another Rodriguez-Spencer reached the finals at 160 pounds, but Miguel’s run eneded there as he fell to Portville’s Gunnar Van Curen, 12-2. WestfieldRipley-Chautauqua Lake’s Caleb Lawson fell to Van Curen 15-4 in the semis, but rallied past Cattaraugus-Little Valley-Pine Valley’s Alex Kelly to claim third place. Zach Buckley of Fredonia didn’t mess around in handling the rest of the competition at 170 pounds. He recorded pins in times of 1:48, 1:59 and 3:50 to earn his spot in the State Finals. Randolph’s James Carr, the No. 3 seed, was Buckley’s victim in the finals after he downed Cheektowaga’s Matt Bartnik 10-2 in the semis. The No. 2-seeded Austin Lynn of Frewsburg knocked off the No. 1 seed, Tyler Veno of Portville, to stake his claim as champion of the 182-pound division. Lynn barely survived seventh-seeded Joe Snow of Akron in the quarterfinals before quickly pinning Barker’s Brandon Alt to reach the finals. Lynn recorded a 4-2 overtime victory over Veno in the
championship bout. Matt Booth of CattaraugusLittle Valley-Pine Valley matched Lynn’s feat by knocking off No. 1 seed Dustin Lewis of Salamanca in the finals at 195 pounds. Booth made it look easy with a pair of pins to reach the finals and then a 15-3 dismantling of Lewis. Frewsburg’s Trevor Spicer was one of Booth’s victims, but rebounded to claim third place. Fredonia’s Chris Saden gave the Hillbillies their second class champion of the day when he pinned Wilson’s Brian Kerwin in the finals at 220 pounds. Saden, the No. 3 seed, pinned Frewsburg’s Zach Haller in the quarterfinals before upsetting No. 2 seed Steven Warthling, 4-2, in the quarterfinals. Kerwin actually delivered one of the biggest upsets of the day when he became the only No. 5 seed to knock off a No. 1 to reach the finals. At 285 pounds, Medina’s Matt Montesanti rounded out the class champions with a narrow 1-0 win over Roy-Hart’s Clayton Smith in the finals. Falconer’s Javen Newman was the highest-placing local athlete in the weight class with his fourth-place finish. The State Finals will be held Friday, Feb. 22 and Saturday, Feb. 23 at the Times Union Center in Albany.

Devils Fall to Buff State In ot
Contributed Article SUNY Fredonia
The Fredonia State women's basketball team suffered an overtime loss, 68-64, to Buffalo State on Tuesday evening. Grace Moore (Fredonia) and Jaimie Warren led the Devils with 17 points apiece. Moore added a team-high four assists and Warren added eight rebounds and three steals. The Devils now stand at 6-10 in the SUNYAC, and 11-11 overall. The loss eliminated the Devils from post-season consideration. Buffalo State (8-8 SUNYAC/12-11 overall) was paced by Olivia Luciani with 13 points, and Ashley Wallace with 12. Shay Jackson added nine rebounds.

The first half found Buffalo State up 19-15. Neither team was separated by more than four points during the period. Buffalo State's Mariah Norris converted a layup to start the second half. The Devils then went on an 11-4 run to take their first lead of the game, 26-25. Moore scored seven points over the spurt. From there, the game would see nine lead chang-
es in a back-and-forth second half. The Devils' largest lead of the half 42-39, came right at the midpoint following a Jenna Austin (Cherry Creek/Pine Valley) layup. The Devils' last lead of the half came following an Austin free throw to make it 46-45 with just under seven minutes to play. With the Devils down three, 56-53, in the final
minute, Becky Hebert sank a pair of free throws to make it a one-point game. Following a timeout, the Devils fouled Buffalo State's Kelly Kell, who missed the one and one.

loCal tradition takes on a new personal twist Continued from pg 1 ------The Bournes were a typical Canadian hockey family. Up early on many cold mornings, Adele would brew a pot of coffee and make a light breakfast while her husband, Don, would get the boys dressed. Taylor remembers sitting on the second-floor stairs, his dad helping him put on his hockey gear, before they rushed out the front door, skates to be tied at the rink. He remembers posthockey breakfasts at a local Denny's with teammates and their parents, further strengthening the familial Canadian bond associated with their national game. And, of course, Don built an outdoor rink outside their home so the boys and their friends could play hockey any time they wanted. As he grew bigger and stronger, Taylor became a player other coaches wanted on their team. His skill level was apparent, and he had a passion for the game. In addition, his parents were a source of encouragement. When Taylor talked of someday playing hockey in college, Don and Adele supported him unconditionally. “They always said,” Taylor said, “they wanted us to do what we wanted.” But first that would mean playing junior hockey. That led Taylor to Olds of the Alberta Junior Hockey League. It was only a one-hour drive from home. ------It was Feb. 13, 2010 when the news came like a bolt out of nowhere. Taylor, away playing junior hockey, took the phone call and could not believe his ears. His dad, Don, an electrical engineer, had gone scuba diving that day with friends.
While on the dive, his heart gave out. He was 55. An autopsy revealed that Don had heart disease and a fatal attack was just a matter of time. The news did little to lessen Taylor's grief. He said it took him well over a week to stop feeling numb. “It was like always having earmuffs on,” he said. “My focus was always inward and there was a lot of stuff going on I didn't even notice.” He does remember this: At his dad's funeral, four friends were chosen to give the eulogy. Each friend was chosen to speak about a different period of Don Bourne's life. It was a scene the Bourne family would replay all too soon. ------Jeff Meredith has been coaching the Blue Devils for 25 years. He cannot recall a parent easier to talk with than Adele Bourne. A stickler for details, Meredith found a kindred spirit in Adele. He remembered one phone call in which she referenced a previous phone call they had had months before. “She remembered the exact date and time,” he said. “So I knew mom was very organized, and the more we talked, the more we found we had in common.” They talked about hockey and recruiting yet they also talked about their families and their values and religious beliefs. Taylor believes it was his mom's way of making sure this coach half a continent away would be someone she could trust. “There was an ease in our conversations,” Meredith said, “just like two parents talking over coffee, only this was over the phone. She would talk about her two boys and I would talk
The last time Jeff Meredith talked to Adele Bourne on the phone, she was calling from her hospital bed. “She called to tell me that Taylor needed to come home,” Meredith said. “She called me because she thought Taylor might resist.” Yet Taylor was willing to Fredonia State hockey player Taylor Bourne with his honor his mom's wishes, parents, Don and Adele, and his younger brother Rick. even if it meant breaking (Photo courtesy of Fredonia State) up his college routine of about my three boys, what the date, she got better,” Tay- classes and study sessions it's like raising sons, and lor said. “She was tired at the and workouts and skateeverything in between.” end of each day, but it wasn't and-shoots and generally that much of a problem.” It wasn't until later that spending time with his new Meredith realized what it And when Meredith and teammates and friends. all meant.

we owned,” Taylor said. “It was a lot to process all at the same time.” When their work was fi nished, Taylor returned to campus and quickly fell back into a routine. Meredith made sure that Taylor would have the support of his teammates, which did not take a lot of prompting. “A hockey team,” Meredith said, “like any group that is close, is a family, and family members take care of each other.” Meredith also had a chance to reflect on his phone calls with Adele. It dawned on him, in the days after her death, that during their many conversations, often it was Adele doing the recruiting. ------He had worn jersey No. 9, as well as No. 19, while growing up playing hockey for various teams in and around Calgary, Alberta. Yet when he arrived at Fredonia State last fall as a freshman and found that 9 and 19 had already been issued, Taylor Bourne opted for 29. “It would still have a 9,” he said, “and my birthday is June 29.” That's why, when he arrived at the hospital to see his mom on a Friday morning last fall, he knew it was time to say goodbye. After all, it was Sept. 29 – 9/29. It was in the numbers. And now, after he writes both his parents' initials on the butt of his hockey stick, then pulls on his jersey for a practice or a game, he senses something he hadn't felt before. It is in the number. “To be able to come to the rink every day and throw that jersey on,” he said, “you get to remember a little bit.” The pink version he wore Friday turned out to be a tribute after all.

Bills release Veterans Barnett, Wilson By John Wawrow AP Sports Writer
Bills new coach Doug Marrone began retooling his underperforming defense on Monday by releasing two veterans: linebacker Nick Barnett and strong safety George Wilson. The two players were among the Bills' most experienced defenders, and fi nished first and second on the team in tackles last season. And yet, they were also part of a highpriced defense that finished among the NFL's worst in yards and points allowed. ''Moves like the ones we've made today are never easy, but we have to do what's best for our team and keep moving forward,'' general manager Buddy Nix said in a statement released by the team. ''We've got some good young players on our roster, who we feel are ready to take the next step up. And they will now have the opportunity to do so.'' The Bills are in transition once again after Marrone was hired last month to replace Chan Gailey, who was fired after three consecutive losing seasons. Marrone, the former Syracuse coach, has brought in an entirely new staff, including luring New York Jets defensive coordinator Mike Pettine to take over the same role in Buffalo. In a separate development, veteran defensive end Chris Kelsay is ready to return after a partially torn ligament in his neck forced him to finish last season on injured reserve. Kelsay, who missed the final five games last season, told The As-

ottawa defense too muCH for buffalo Continued from pg 1 Scoreless after the first period, the Senators had a number of great chances in the second but couldn't beat Miller until Karlsson moved in shorthanded and blasted a shot just over the Buffalo goalie's left pad at 15:20. Karlsson, last season's Norris Trophy winner as the league's top defenseman, says he always looks to go on the attack while killing a penalty. ''I think when you're one man short you can even create some momentum there,'' said Karlsson following his sixth goal of the season. ''It's going to be good for the team if you see an opportunity once in a while.'' Miller made 29 saves in taking the loss for Buffalo. ''It's tough to give up a short-handed goal,'' Miller said. ''I think we had two guys over backcheck and left the high guy ... I want to make a save for the boys at some point there (but then) it turns into a game where they can keep everything to the outside.'' Condra then doubled the Ottawa 1:54 later, bang-
ing for the Senators on the power play prior to the two-goal barrage, but the Ottawa captain's one-timer missed the net with Miller at his mercy. Buffalo had a chance to get back in the game midway through the third when Ottawa's Jim O'Brien went off for holding and Kyle Turris was whistled for high sticking to set up a two-man advantage for 14 seconds. But Anderson and the Senators penalty killers did the job against a Sabres power play that finished the night 0-for-4. Ottawa's Jakob Silfverberg had a chance to stretch the Senators' lead to three on a power play later in the period, but Miller sprawled to make a diving save at the side of the Buffalo net. The Sabres held a 13-7 shot advantage in the first period but couldn't solve Anderson. Ottawa finished 0 for 8 on the power play. Notes: Ottawa visits Pittsburgh on Wednesday, while Buffalo is home to Boston on Friday. ... Attendance at Scotiabank Place was 18,429.
