My plans for this winter include visits to the International Boxing Hall Of Fame, the Milton J. Rubenstein Museum of Science and Technology and Enchanted Mountains of Cattaraugus County. I am particularly excited about a planned trip with two friends to Canastota to explore the Boxing Hall Of Fame as our trio are big fight fans who have heard rave reviews from other boxing enthusiasts who have visited there. Friends of mine with children praise the outstanding customer service at Splash Lagoon Indoor Water Park and highly recommend it to anyone who wants to give their kids an experience they
will never forget. I have two friends who enjoy playing blackjack and the slots who take annual trips to Presque Isle Downs And Casino. Finally, neighbors of mine drove last summer to Pennsylvania with their three children and two nephews and spent a couple of days exploring that region, including an afternoon at the Crayola Experience. All five children were amazed by the “Crayola Meltdown” exhibit and still treasure their four-count souvenir pack of crayons that was molded, labeled and packed right before their very eyes. continueD on pG 10
but for the grace of god By Scott Wise Senior Copy Writer
My wife recently crossed the halfway mark of her pregnancy, and it’s only twenty weeks, give or take, until Baby Wise #2 is here. It’s funny to me, this pregnancy. When she was pregnant with Joshua, now a handsome, energetic twoyear-old, it was all we could do to go five minutes without talking about him. Guessing what he’ll look like, how he’ll act, what he’ll sound like and what God will do with his life. continueD on pG 2
preventing cancer in chautauqua county reLay For LiFe, events Focus on cancer prevention awareness By Patricia Pihl Managing Editor
“Every month is cancer prevention month.” That is the statement by Michael Porpiglia, Community Executive of the American Cancer Society, when asked about February’s distinction as Cancer Awareness Month. While the media provides a multitude of information on all aspects of health, the American Cancer Society in Chautauqua County takes a more grassroots approach, using its annual events to disseminate information on cancer prevention awareness. “We try to get that message across through channels such as the relay for life and making strides against breast cancer events, said Porpiglia. “When we’ve got groups of 600-7000 people, we are talking to them about early detection and healthy eating, staying away from tobacco and the use of sunscreen. We try to emphasize that when we have mass gatherings of people in our midst.” That, according to Porpiglia, allows ACS to be better stewards of monies entrusted to the organization, focusing instead on funding for research helping cancer patients.”

He was our only, our prized possession. This time around, things have been a little different. We still plan, talk names, paint colors and sheets and toys and clothes (oh my…). But the excitement is a little more subdued. It’s not such an external excitement as it is an internal thrill to expand our capacity to love again. Now, we have two to share our love with. I must say- I didn’t experience that moment of not being sure how to handle loving two kids. When I look at Joshua, and I know that I’ve got another little one brewing, I can’t wait to share that love. What’s becoming more and more intriguing to me, though, is that Joshua is going to have something I never did. Granted, I want him to have everything in life I always wanted but didn’t have- any parent does- but this is more. He’s going to have a sibling. My mom and dad endured five hard miscarriages throughout their nearly 40 years (and counting) of marriage. As I got older, I began to see the hurt and the pain on their faces, and I stopped asking for siblings. Sure I wanted one, but I didn’t want
them to have to go through another heartbreak. I’m so beyond thrilled for Joshua that he will get to experience the joy of a sibling. God has been so good to me, though. I married into siblings. I’ve got two sistersin-law and a brother-in-law that always bring us joy. They’re funny, caring and took me right in (well mostly, but let’s face it- I was 18 with a squeaking voice and terrified of slugs. Any good sibling would be cautious to let me in). It’s in times like these that I look to God. Times when I’m about to experience things that I don’t understand. Joshua, from the time he is two years old, will have more of a handle on siblinghood than I ever did. He’ll be able to play, wrestle, share and probably fight with his sibling, and I’m thrilled for him. A few weeks ago, I was tempted to get scared about the whole situation. How will I know what they’re supposed to act like? How will I teach him to love his sibling? But I’m so thankful for the Holy Spirit- who the Bible says is our teacher and helper. I can rest in the knowledge that even when I don’t know what to do, He does and He’ll help me to instruct and raise Joshua to be the best big brother he can be.

Chautauqua County Humane Society Pet of the Week
Pets of the Week
This week we are featuring “Juanita” and “Ginger”. Juanita came to the shelter with a litter of kittens. Her kittens have all been adopted and she is ready for a home of her own. She is one-year-old, very sweet and likes “crunchy” treats. She is very gentle and likes to cuddle in a lap. Ginger is a one-year-old hound mix. She is very loving, has a super soft coat and loves to play. She thinks everyone is her buddy, but her play energy is too much for cats. She can be a little shy with new things, but with gentle patience she comes around fi ne. If either of these pets sounds like the one for you, stop by the Strunk Road Adoption Center to meet them. They are ready to move into your heart and your home.

If you are not comfortable with what your doctor says, get a second opinion just in case.” When family history comes into play, Porpiglia says that ACS’s guidelines suggest that individuals be tested 10 years earlier than the age their family member was diagnosed. Porpiglia says that while the county’s cancer rate has
increased five percent since 1999, mortality rates have gone down seven percent as the result of earlier diagnosis and treatment. Types of cancer and rates are also similar to other counties in the state, with prostate cancer having the greatest number of cases, followed by lung, breast and then colorectal cancer.

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? (con’t) Last week we saw that there are many issues in life that we need to directly receive God’s guidance for. The Bible gives us general direction on most things in life, but we know that there are some areas in our lives where we must seek God for specific answers. Today, we are going to look at “how to hear from God.” Remember, before we ask God for specific direction, we must be willing to follow His general direc-
tions found in the Bible. As we’re learning to follow these guidelines, we are then placed in a position to receive direct direction from God. How do we receive specific direction from God? Pray! Prayer is talking directly to God and is the basis of our personal relationship with our Father. When praying for direction, we can do what He tells us to do in His Word…ask Him for wisdom. James 1:5 states, “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.” In this scripture, God promises us that if
we need wisdom concerning what to do, we only need to ask and He will gladly give it. The next step is getting into a position to hear what God gives us. This is where many Christians fail to benefit from God’s direction. They ask, God gives them wisdom (He always does what He says He will do), but they fail to “tune in” and miss out on His direction. Let me use an analogy to explain. In the very room where you’re sitting, there are many radio signals that have been sent out by transmitters. Although they’re present, you can’t access them unless you
“tune them in” through a radio receiver. To listen to God’s wisdom, we must tune Him in, too! How do we do this? The same way the Apostles did. Acts 13:4 says that they spent time worshipping and waiting in God’s presence. When they did this they were able to hear the direction that God had provided to them. We too, need to ask God for wisdom and then spend time being thankful and worshipping in His presence until we receive our answer. Next week, “How does God speak to us?”

The Spirit Filled Life The more time I spend as a pastor, the more I realize how helpless people are apart from the Holy Spirit. The troubles of this life cannot be faced with mere programs and church protocol. Programs and church growth methodology cannot do the job the Holy Spirit was meant to do. The Holy Spirit is the power to deliver us from the ordinary; a term that should never describe the life of a Christian. The life of Peter provides the perfect illustration of the Holy Spirit’s ability to radically change our lives. Peter was one of the closest disciples of Jesus and his time around Christ was filled with ups and downs. Peter’s greatest failure is no doubt his denial of Christ on the night Jesus was ar-
rested. Mark 14:71 describes Peter in his struggling state before he was filled with the Holy Spirit. It reads, “But Peter began to curse and to swear, saying, ‘I know not this man ( Jesus) of whom you speak.’” The next verse records Peter’s despair: “…and when Peter thought about it he wept.” Peter’s life before his encounter with the Holy Spirit was an existence of insecurity, hopelessness, depression, and struggles to get things right. He was the most average of persons; just like all of us; a perfect candidate for God to display His power. What made Peter any different from Judas? Didn’t they both betray Christ? The difference is that Peter didn’t let his failure undo the rest of his life. Peter instead listened to the command of the Lord, “…wait in the city
of Jerusalem until you be endued with POWER FROM ON HIGH.” (Luke 24:49) The Lord knew that failures such as Peter’s are due to lack of power. Unlike Judas, Peter positioned himself, surrounded by other believer’s, to receive power from Heaven. Far too many believers are living in powerlessness because they don’t position themselves to receive. Where has God told you to be? Let me answer: In the House of God crying out with the people of God for Him to demonstrate His power in our lives; learning His Word from a pastor. Acts 1:8 records the words of Jesus, “But you (Peter was one of the ones being addressed) shall receive POWER after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you…” Acts 2:4 records Peter’s dramatic transformation: “And they (Pe-
ter included) were all FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.” Peter was never to be the same again. Act chapter 2 records his sermon to the thousands that gathered to witness the display of God’s power. Two months before, Peter could not proclaim Christ to a dozen people around a camp fire and now he is preaching to thousands. In Acts chapters 3-5, Peter leads a dramatic healing revival and boldly declares the risen Christ before the foremost religious leaders of his day. Peter is no longer the struggling weak disciple; he is now the product of the Holy Spirit. He is bold and strong and making a difference in the lives of many. Which side of Peter’s life do you want to live on?

NASA Representative Visits TRC for Collaboration on Mission X

“Train Like An Astronaut” Adapted Program Benefits People with Special Needs By Patricia Pihl Managing Editor
Preparing astronauts for space flight and their return home has plenty of “down to earth” applications, especially when it comes to applying that training to health, fitness and education. NASA Scientist Educator Scott Townsend visited The Resource Center recently to observe adaptations made to NASA’s “Train Like An Astronaut” program, which uses astronaut mission activities to teach the importance of fitness and proper nutrition to elementary school students, but has been adapted by TRC for people with disabilities. The program is currently in 22 countries across the globe, originally created by NASA with the dual purpose of combating childhood obesity and teaching science, technology, engineering and math to students. According to Townsend, although elementary students were the original target audience, the “Train Like An Astronaut” activities can work with many different segments of the population, including people with disabilities and seniors. Last September, TRC staff members Virginia Vath, assistant executive director for quality assurance/ quality improvement and staff training and Johnny Tooley, day services special projects coordinator, visited the Johnson Space Center
have participants put links together. According to Tooley, the international “train like an astronaut” challenge goes though the end of March. However, he said he hopes that activities continue year round as more team leaders and participants become involved. As a way to assess outcomes of the program, NASA has devised tests for some groups to measure fitness and space knowledge. “In some populations, the space component is not as clearly defined, and that is o.k. You can get them up and moving – doing something different than what they normally do and having fun doing it,” explains Townsend. For those who associate NASA exclusively with space exploration, Townsend says,” NASA does a lot of things besides build rockets and send people into space. The NASA Science/Educator Scott Townsend (second from left) stands with TRC staff during a visit for the “Mission X: “Train space shuttle program was Like An Astronaut” Challenge adapted for day treatment consumers. cancelled, but there are still a tremendous amount of to learn more about adapt- astronauts are required to adds. of light activity,” which things going on including ing the program for the 50 run through a course with “Explore and discover” is measures how quickly a commercial space flight. or so consumers in TRC’s quick turns and twists.

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.

The City of Jamestown Parks, Recreation, & Conservation Department has recently installed a new DogiPot unit in “The Grove” park at the corner of Cherry and West Second Streets. The DogiPot unit contains plastic bags that dog owners may use to pick up animal feces and a receptacle for easy disposal in accordance with the city code. Parks Manager John Williams said, “Residents are required to pick up after their pets so that everyone is able to enjoy our parks. Even though the picnic areas aren’t used as much during the winter months, it’s important that residents be diligent while walking their dogs so there

Margaret Matsumoto. She adds, “When we move with Tai Chi relaxation, we not only feel better, but we often experience a sense of calm and alertness that can boost both personal and work-related interactions. I invite you to come and experience it first-hand.” The weekend workshop will continue on Saturday from 10:30 until noon and 1:30 to 2:30 p.m., and fi nish on Sunday from 1 to 3:30 p.m. Comfortable street clothes that allow a natural walking gait are preferable to tight clothing or heavy work-out sweats. “We will spend most of our time on our feet, learning the movements, so please bring flat-soled shoes/slippers or socks. And bring your natural curiosity

There will be opportunities to sit and rest, and the schedule will include breaks for lunch or refreshment, discussion, perhaps for some video clips, and time for asking/ answering questions.

This week’s frigid weather in western New York – with 25 inches of snow reported in Ripley and Westfield on Monday - was good news for the ice wine producers concentrated in Buffalo’s “ice wine triangle,” the roughly seventy mile area near Buffalo that includes Niagara and Chautauqua Counties as well as the Niagara Peninsula in Ontario, Canada. This region, with the all-important Niagara and Alleghany Escarpments which help to capture moderating lake air, is one of the very few regions in the world, along with the Finger Lakes, Germany, and Austria, which can claim to have the right climate and the right geography for the production of high quality ice wine grapes. Aamidst gray skies, snow flurries and temperatures of just 9 degrees, a hardy crew of twenty completed the harvest of Johnson Estate’s ice wine grapes, frozen solid by the cold temperatures of winter storm Jove. The winery’s harvest of approximately 7 tons of Chambourcin and Vidal grapes from its vineyards takes

the “hostile,” high-sugar environment of ice wine. Johnson Estate’s Sparkling Rosé Ice Wine is the winery’s first sparkling ice wine, and is believed to be the first sparkling ice wine ever produced in the United States. This unique and special complex flavored wine is made using the traditional, in-the-bottle “champagne” method which produces a fi ne fi zz as well as the pressures needed for a fine sparkling dessert wine. Johnson Estate’s Sparkling Rose Ice Wine is an artisanal product, which requires dosing, riddling, disgorging, and corking of the small, longnecked 375ml bottles.

unique advantage of the region’s infamous lake-effect blizzards and cold. Johnson Estate has been making ice wine for twenty years and these grapes will be used to make three kinds of ice wine: the traditional, white ice wine made from Vidal grapes, a rare red ice wine, from Chambourcin grapes, and the winery’s newest ice wine, Sparkling Rosé Ice wine, which uses a blend of both of these grapes. Harvesting Vidal Blanc ice wine grapes at Johnson Estate Winery, America’s First Sparkling Ice Wine: Johnson Estate Sparkling Rosé Ice Wine Johnson Estate, now in its 52nd year, produces true ice wines, which are made from grapes which have frozen naturally on the vines. Its newest ice wine is its 2011 Sparkling Rosé Ice Wine. Owner, Fred Johnson, and winemaker, Jeff Murphy, were inspired to make it in 2011 after a visit to the Niagara Peninsula, which included sampling a Vidal sparkling ice wine. Sparkling ice wines, a product idea sometimes credited in 1988 to Canadian wine consultant and writer, Konrad Ejbich, is a challenging product to make as the required yeasts ferment with difficulty in
With the outside temperature hovering in the single digits Tuesday morning, SUNY Fredonia extended a warm welcome to dozens of new international students who have arrived on campus for the spring term at a welcoming ceremony at Rosch Recital Hall. Numerous flags representing the homelands of all 235 of SUNY Fredonia’s international students, both undergraduate and graduate, were displayed above the stage. International enrollment has grown by over 60 students compared to the fall 2012 term, with seven nations represented among this newest class, including China, India, Jamaica, Japan, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia and South Korea. The students were first welcomed by SUNY Fredonia President Virginia Schaefer Horvath, who said how excited the campus community was to have them among the student body. She also encouraged them to ask questions and help Fredonia’s American students better understand their cultures and traditions. Interim Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Kevin Kearns commented on the bravery they have shown in accepting such an opportunity to live in and learn from a culture that is so very different and far away from their own. Coordinator of International Learning Ted Schwalbe, a professor in the department of Communication, reminded them that they may be the very first people from their respective countries
with whom some area residents have encountered — a significant responsibility which they bear. Lastly, Daniela Peterka-Benton, an assistant professor of Criminal Justice and a native of Austria, shared that it wasn’t very long ago that she was in a similar situation as a young student studying abroad. She encouraged them to reach out for help and guidance if they should experience some challenging times, assuring them that whatever uncertainty they might feel, it is normal and shared among the group. The program, organized by Director Mary Sasso and
her International Education team, also featured performances by Yong (Melody) Zhang, a junior Music Performance major (piano), the campus President’s International Student Award winner and Global Student Ambassador who hails from Hangzhou, China; and Ji Hyun ( John) Chung, a junior Voice major, from Dong Du Chun, South Korea. Near the conclusion of the program, each student came to the stage and introduced him/herself, shook hands with President Horvath and received a SUNY Fredonia pin from Interim Provost Kearns.

Before adding waste disposal, Christine says the business “was basically an excavating and trucking company.’ It still hauls aggregates and stone and topsoil is still a big seller in the spring. Fitting a Variety of Needs To fit a variety of residential and commercial needs, Storer’s provides two, four and six yard front load dumpsters, as well as large forty-yard boxes. While the larger boxes are generally reserved for construction or demolition, the smaller containers are a good fit for households who may not have village or town garbage pick-up, which is sometimes common in rural communities. She
encourages residents to use one of the four transfer stations in the county for recycling. Storer’s has served the Chautauqua County Fair for many years, and while there are other companies that provide box pick up, Christine adds, “our advantage is that we are locally owned and operated and very community oriented.” Another plus is that there is enough flexibility in its scheduling to meet the last minute needs of its customers. And when they do call, Christine notes, customers will speak to one of its trained staff members that can assist them in a real way. “Our day can be planned by 7 a.m., but by 7:10 it can
be completely changed,” says Christine, who emphasizes the company’s willingness to be as flexible as possible with its customers. Although requesting 24 notice for pick up or delivery, when customers demand it, one of Store’s seven drivers can usually be there within a few hours, she adds. Their Business is ‘Picking Up’ “For our residential customers, we have just got 60 new two and four-yard boxes,” which Christine points out, are ready to fulfill new customer demand. “We go into Cherry Creek, Leon, South Dayton, Sheridan, Stockton and Cassadaga, and anywhere else within a 50 mile or so radius.”
“For our construction customers, we do offer larger boxes (roll-out containers) for larger jobs, and 40 yard for major demolition. Another customer incentive is that Storer’s construction rates are less than its one time flat contractor rate. For more information on Storer’s Container Service, individuals can visit www. storerscontainer.com or follow Christine’s advice and call 716-595-3166 and speak to one of the company’s helpful office staff, who will answer all their questions completely and professionally.

Ah, the NFL Pro Bowl. No matter how many commercials you show, no matter how much the players pledge to play harder, no matter how beautiful Honolulu looks — I will not watch thee. And it’s possible no one will ever again. Commissioner Roger Goodell threatened that this year’s game might be the last Pro Bowl if players don’t try to put on a better show. In recent years we’ve seen defenses seemingly intentionally allowing huge plays. It reached the point that Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers called out his teammates for not trying last year. Judging from the final score — a 62-35 NFC victory — nothing changed this year. Admittedly I didn’t watch the game, and why would I? The game is a total joke and there’s no reason to keep the charade around. Let’s start with the roster factor. The NFC’s quarterbacks were supposed to be Rodgers, Washington’s Robert Griffin III and Atlanta’s Matt Ryan — a formidable trio. The three quarterbacks that actually took the field were the New York Giants’ Eli Manning, Seattle’s Russell Wilson and New Orleans’ Drew Brees — a talented, but clearly second-rate bunch. I get that the players who will participate in the Super Bowl the following week clearly won’t play in the Pro Bowl, but San Francisco alone was supposed to send nine players. That’s nine players who get to add “Pro Bowl” to their resumé even though they didn’t exactly earn the honor and are only in Hawai’i as replacements. Both starting wide receivers for the NFC, both starting tight ends for the AFC and all three outside linebackers for the NFC were all voted in and didn’t play. Is this supposed to be an All-Star Game or just a glorified practice among some decent players in the NFL? Here’s the kicker and the absolute No. 1 reason to get rid of the Pro Bowl: The Kansas City Chiefs sent six, yes six, players to the Pro

There’s been a lot of discussion — often heated — on the recent merger of the Chautauqua Lake and Maple Grove football programs for the 2013 season. Fans of both programs understandably feel like they are going to lose the identities that have made the programs so successful over the past several years. The ultimate defense of the merger, however, is right in front of their eyes — the WestfieldRipley-Chautauqua Lake (WRCL) wrestling team. When low enrollment numbers threatened the teams’ ability to survive alone, the three schools combined their wrestling programs this year and all they have done is put together the No. 4-ranked small school program in Western New York. “I thought the possibilities of the team were great,” WRCL head coach Brad Rowe said. “We have a lot of ability. The schools always brought something to the table. When you put it all together, you get the success that we’re having this year. It’s a really competitive team.” When looking at the team, it’s obvious that it’s one united team. These are no longer athletes from three different schools forced to work together, this is the WRCL wrestling team. “The kids responded great,” Rowe added. “Right from the get-go there was a little bit of a

feeling-out process, but now, you can’t tell which kids are from which school. They all stick together pretty tight and they’ve created some bonds.” Even the logistics hasn’t been too much of a hurdle for Rowe, the athletes or the coaching staff. “We’ve been alternating between Ripley and Chautauqua Lake for practices,” Rowe explained. “We spent two weeks at each one. It breaks it up nicely so that none of the kids are really forced to travel all the time. We’ve had competitions at all three schools.” The whole process has been such a huge success in fact, that Rowe was at a loss for words when asked what the hardest part of this season has been. “I’m trying to think,” he said after a long pause. “Probably in my eyes it’s more of a policy thing. You’re following three different schools’ policies every once in a while. There’s been nothing that’s been too bad. It’s just a little more managing. It’s run pretty smoothly I think.”
Not only does Rowe have nothing negative to say about the combination of programs, but he can’t stop pointing out the positive aspects of it. “It’s been great,” he reiterated. “The guys all fill in together. Each school has brought its own style from the past. You can see a blend of the styles coming together. It’s been real nice to mix it up a little bit. You get all different personalities and different faces in the wrestling room. It’s been great.” While Rowe may be the head coach, he has plenty of help. The coaching staff currently consists of 13 members, a combination from all three school districts. “Coaches have come along from each district just like the kids,” Rowe added. “It’s the same thing — you get different faces and different techniques. You get things that coaches can teach better from each end. It’s worked out great. We have a lot of faces in the room and it keeps things fresh for the kids too.” coNtINUED oN pG 3

Super Sunday Is upon us By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
Even though it might feel like the National Football League season just started, Sunday will mark the end to what has been a riveting campaign. The San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens will meet in New Orleans for Super Bowl XLVII on Sunday at 6:30 p.m. Both teams won on the road last week — no easy task deep in the playoffs. The 49ers knocked off the No. 1 seed Atlanta Falcons in the NFC while the Ravens, the No. 4 seed in the AFC, went into Foxborough and defeated the New England Patriots. The 49ers were a popular preseason pick to make it to the Super Bowl. They lost in the NFC Championship game last season and brought back nearly the entire team, plus a few more playmakers on offense. The team began the season with Alex Smith as its starting quarterback. coNtINUED oN pG 2

Fredonia Boys, Dunkirk Girls Complete Season Sweep Over Rivals By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
Contributed Article CSHOF
The Board of Directors of the Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame is proud to announce that Ron Blackmer will be formally inducted at the CSHOF’s 32nd Annual Banquet, Monday, February 18, 2013, at the Lakewood Rod and Gun Club. In support of the nomination of Ron Blackmer for induction into the Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame, the organization received a bulky notebook that contained page after page of statistics, photos, old news clippings and a lot of other information that detailed the career of one of the area's bestknown racing legends. In one of those clippings from May 22, 1965, the headline in The Post- Journal read "Who Stops Ron Blackmer?" The answer is easy —very few. From 1960 to 1978, Blackmer was a dominant force at both Stateline Speedway in Busti and at Eriez Speedway in Erie. He roamed those tracks in his memorable “4” and “4JR” cars and only a scant few drivers were able to challenge him over his 18 years behind the wheel. His peers at that time included other well-known driving legends such as Squirt Johns, Skip Furlow, Bobby Schnars, Johnny Whitehead, Jay Plyler and Sammy LaMancuso, just to name a few. Blackmer's career statistics speak for themselves. Here's a brief summary: The Youngsville, Pa., native racked up 133 feature wins in the Sportsman Division, almost three times more than his closest competitor. He also won four Sportsman championships at Stateline and six at Eriez, along with four S-E Circuit Sportsman championships. He also collected 62 secondplace finishes and 26 thirds along the road. Blackmer won 27 Late Model Division feature races at Stateline and Eriez and at the time of his retirement, only two other drivers had won more. He also took home two Stateline Late Model titles, three more at Eriez and two S-E

The San Francisco defense carried the team early, but has been prone to giving up a ton of points lately. The Packers put up 31 points before Atlanta managed another 24. Those kinds of point totals were unfathomable early in the season when the defense — led by linebackers Patrick Willis, Aldon Smith NaVorro Bowman and Deshon Goldson — was simply the best in the league.

be fooled into thinking it’s just the backs that make the running game thrive. The 49ers offensive line is arguably the best in football. The group features three former first-round picks in left tackle Joe Staley, right tackle Anthony Davis and left guard Mike Iupati. Clearly the front office realized that the game is still won in the trenches. As for the Ray Lewis, he’s going to have a tough time beating the entire 49ers team by himself. What was that? There are other players on the Baltimore Ravens? When did this happen? Yes, Ray Lewis is one of the best linebackers in the history of the NFL. He’s a sure bet to land in Canton as soon as he’s eligible. His dance sends Ravens fans into a tizzy unlike anything in professional sports. But let’s not forget that he’s just one man. He also isn’t going to be the best linebacker on the field on Sunday (see Willis, Patrick). He might not even be the best linebacker on his own team (see Suggs, Terrell). The Ravens are actually a fairly similar team to the 49ers. Baltimore is, and has been for more than a decade, built around its defense. Lewis, Suggs, defensive tackle Haloti Ngata and safety Ed Reed form a core of talent that’s been dominating opponents for years. After a struggle to finish the season, all the Ravens defense have done in the playoffs so far is hold Peyton Manning and
the Broncos to 21 points (with most of those points coming on special teams) and Tom Brady and the Patriots to a measly 13 points. The unit limits big plays and gives its offense a chance to win the game. The offense underwent a transformation midseason when the team fired offensive coordinator Cam Cameron and replaced him with former Colts head coach Jim Caldwell. The move lit a fire under quarterback Joe Flacco, who has been one of the best players in this year’s playoffs. Baltimore also likes to run the ball. Everyone knows about the special skill set that Ray Rice brings to the table, but what might get overlooked is that backup running back Bernard Pierce has provided the perfect smash to Rice’s dash. It’s no easy feat to take Rice out of the game and not lose a step, but Peirce has given the Ravens that luxury. And like the 49ers, despite the tendency towards the run, the passing attack is explosive. Flacco has taken a lot of, ahem, flack for his stats — or lack thereof — in recent seasons. However, his numbers should speak for themselves. First off, the guy has never missed a game since he entered the league in 2008. He also wins, a lot. In five years as the Ravens’ starting quarterback, Flacco has amassed 54 regular season wins — an average of almost 11 wins per season.

But you’re kidding yourself if you don’t think he’s up there with the Roethlisbergers, Eli Mannings and Matt Ryans on that second level of quarterbacks in the NFL. The call: Ravens 33, 49ers 28. Call it a “feeling” if you must, but the Ravens have upset every team they’ve played in the playoffs so far and it won’t stop in the Super Bowl. How do you like that? A Super Bowl story with hardly a mention of Lewis, the Harbaughs or Kaepernick. It can be done. Stefan Gestwicki is the Chautauqua Star sports editor.

little over two minutes left in regulation. As a last ditch effort, the Ironmen pulled their goaltender and sent in an extra attacker. The move came back to bite them as the Jr. Blues scored an empty net goal with 57 seconds remaining and all but ended the game. Ironically, the Ironmen didn’t quit and proceeded to take advantage of the extra attacker. Doucet took assists from Mottiqua and Gerdes and netted a goal with 15 seconds remaining, but it was a case of too little, too late as Jamestown ran out of time. Tim Shaughnessy made 37 saves and the Ironmen were outshot, 40-37 on the night. “We had good chances, but
just couldn’t finish,” said Ironmen Head Coach Dan Daikawa about Saturday’s 3-2 loss. Jamestown now sits in third in the NAHL North Division, one point behind the Soo Eagles (27-10-4) and the Kalamazoo Jr. K-Wings (27-13-4), who are tied for first place. “We have three games in hand on Kalamazoo and have the Soo coming into Jamestown this upcoming week,” said Daikawa. He believes if his team can take care of their business, they will end up right where they want to be. “Our goal from day one was to make the playoffs. If we keep moving forward and stay in the thick of things, that’s where we will be at the end of the regular season.”
another Ironmen player commits to play college Hockey Contributed Article Jamestown Ironmen
Jamestown Ironmen forward, Ross Pavek has committed to play hockey for the St. Norbert College Green Knights starting next fall. St. Norbert, a Division III school located in De Pere, Wisconsin — only minutes away from where Pavek grew up in Green Bay — has a student body of 2,200 students. For a small school, it packs a big punch, especially in the men’s hockey department. The Green Knights have appeared in 13 NCAA Division III Tournaments since 1997 and have appeared in the Frozen Four eight times since 2003 – winning the national championship in ‘08, ‘11and ‘12. The defending national champions are currently ranked second in the nation among all Divi-
about his commitment. “I grew up watching the hockey team at St. Norbert, all of my high school coaches played there, and I will only be about fi ve minutes from home.” Pavek has played for four teams throughout his NAHL career and has had a standout year for the Ironmen, posting nine goals to go along with 13 assists so far this season. You can see Pavek at the next Ironmen home stand from Jan. 31 through Feb. 2. Jamestown will host the Soo Eagles on Friday at 7 p.m. It will be Ladies Night with $2 off tickets along with drink and food specials in Sully’s Irish Pub for all ladies at the game. The Ironmen will take on Port Huron on Saturday at 5 p.m., and it is billed as Super Saturday (day before the Super Bowl). Wear your football jersey for $2 off your ticket to the game.

At least it only took three plays to know this game was going to be like any other. Watt lined up at receiver one other time in the game, but didn’t record a catch on two targets.

Jason Pominville, Andrej Sekera and Mikhail Grigorenko scored for Buffalo, which lost its fourth straight. Miller stopped 20 shots. Grigorenko, the Sabres' first-round choice in the 2012 draft, tied it 3-all at 7:10 of the third period with a deftly placed backhander from the slot. He made amends for being on the ice for the first three Toronto goals. By playing in his sixth NHL game, the 18-yearold's entry-level professional contract officially began and he is no longer eligible to return to the Quebec Remparts of the Quebec junior league. ''I was really happy to score a goal, but we lost the game,'' Grigorenko said. ''So I feel bad.'' The Sabres were also somber knowing that forward Patrick Kaleta was taken to the hospital after absorbing a hard hit late in the first period. Kaleta, who has a history of head and neck problems, was boarded by Toronto's Mike Brown, who was assessed a minor penalty for the play. Kaleta skated off awkwardly with
scoring midway through the first period, scooping in a rebound after a shot by Nazem Kadri hit the crossbar. Pominville tied it 5 minutes later, connecting on a wrist shot from the slot during a power play. Sekera put the Sabres up 2-1 early in the second period when he sneaked in from the blue line, took a drop pass from Drew Stafford and beat Reimer on the backhand. Frattin tied it 72 seconds later, banging in a rebound. Franson put the Maple Leafs up 3-2 at the 6:21 mark, connecting on a slap shot from the right point.

Grigorenko Happy to Be Staying With Sabres By Chris Ryndak NHL.com Correspondent
BUFFALO, N.Y. – Mikhail Grigorenko is staying with the Buffalo Sabres. General manager Darcy Regier and coach Lindy Ruff gave the 18-yearold center the good news Tuesday morning. Following a five-game tryout, the Sabres could have returned Grigorenko to the Quebec Remparts of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, but decided that it would be best to keep him in the NHL for the duration of the season. The Sabres selected Grigorenko with the 12th pick in the 2012 NHL Draft. For Grigorenko, knowing that a decision was made one way or the other was a big relief. "Today coming to the rink, I was a little bit nervous. I didn't know what to expect. Finally, they told me I was staying so I'm really happy," Grigorenko said after the morning skate Tuesday. "Well, I think by the smile on his face, it was a quite a big relief,” Ruff said of Grigorenko's reaction to the news.

Regier said two things mainly went into the decision. "First, the ability to continue to continue his development in conjunction with his ability to help us win hockey games," Regier said. Grigorenko played a career-high 17:10 on Sunday against the Washington Capitals. He has not registered a point through five games, but the Sabres front office liked enough of what they saw to keep him
on the roster. Both Grigorenko and the Sabres' front office understand that the hard work does not stop now that he has made the team, but it must continue throughout his career. “We talked about the work he put in and the work he’s going to have to put in. He’s earned this opportunity,” Ruff said. While Grigorenko found out before the skate, his
teammates did not learn about the decision until they were about to leave the ice. Ruff gathered the team near the boards on the opposite side of the Buffalo bench and made the announcement. The team tapped their sticks on the ice in congratulations and a few teammates gave the rookie a good face wash. “It’s cool. It’s awesome. I know everyone’s excited,” Sabres captain Jason Pominville said. “I don’t know if you saw the reaction on the ice, but guys were pretty happy for him. He’s made some big strides. He’s improved in every game he’s played in. I think last game was probably his best.” Grigorenko scored his first NHL goal on Tuesday against the Toronto Maple Leafs at First Niagara Center. "I think it’s a really good step in my career. I’ll do everything to show people that they made the right choice,” Grigorenko said. “It’s really good to know that I’m staying with the team and I can focus on the hockey now and not think about all those [other] things."
