sweet And savory ANNUAL ‘WINE AND CHOCOLATE WEEkEND’ WILL SHOWCASE LAkE ERIE WINE COUNTRy By Daniel Meyer Star News Writer

Lake Erie Wine Country will hosts its annual “Wine and Chocolate Weekend” later this month as the unique Valentine’s Day weekend venture will provide lovebirds and other interested patrons an opportunity to enjoy a self-guided ticketed event with food and beverage samples at various wineries located throughout Chautauqua County. Scheduled to take place from Friday, February 14 through Sunday, February 16, Wine and Chocolate Weekend is one of the most popular special events in the region as the popularity of the threeday affair continues to grow with each passing year. “We see well over 800 people come to the area, with many of them traveling here from out of town,” said Julie Pfadt, who serves as executive director of Lake Erie Wine Country. “We have guests who travel here from as far as Michigan and Ohio for this weekend. There are several people who come from the Pittsburgh area, from Rochester, from Syracuse and quite a few come here from Canada. This is really big and a highlight on the calendar for a lot of folks.” Hours of operation will be from noon to 5 p.m. on Friday, February 14 and

from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on both Saturday, February 15 and Sunday, February 16. Each $35 ticket is good for all three days of the event, however, the $31 Friday and/or Sunday ticket is good for Friday and/or Sunday but not on Saturday. The purchase of a ticket allows each attendee to enjoy the following: a food-andwine sample at each participating winery; wine tasting at each winery; a booklet containing a recipe of each of the food items you will be eating; a $5 voucher to use at any winery or select restaurants clearly identified on the back of the voucher; a special gift; and a Lake Erie Wine Country wine

glass to use for tastings during the event and to take home as a souvenir. “People just have a tremendous time and this is an incredible opportunity for each winery to gain some exposure,” said Pfadt. “Our economic impact is so great, I don’t think some people realize how much this does for the area. Not only are these people visiting the wineries and spending money, they are also shopping and staying in hotels and eating at local restaurants.” Formerly known as the Chautauqua-Lake Erie Wine Trail, Lake Erie Wine Country is located on the south shore of Lake Erie and consists of an estimated 30,000

acres of grape vineyards. Considered to be in the heart of America’s Grape Country between Silver Creek and Harborcreek, Pennsylvania, there is approximately 50 miles of vineyards in Lake Erie Wine Country featuring 24 wineries, all of whom will be participating in next weekend’s event. There is no transportation provided, meaning all ticket holders must arrange for their own transportation and choose their own itinerary, meaning you can visit the wineries in any order and will not be asked to meet any specific time requirements for each stop along the wine trail.

INSIDE THIS WEEK

CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 2014

just like with any place, but the melting pot of America seems to be cooking on high. What’s also intriguing, and also slightly maddening, is the southern Californian mentality toward weather. I’ve seen people in winter jackets, because it got down to 40 degrees. The daytime highs have dropped significantly during our stay here- in the low sixties! It’s amazing we haven’t gotten frostbite, to be honest. But as soon as I flash the ‘I’m from New York’ card, their eyes get wide, and they pull their jacket around them a little tighter. Many have never even seen snow. Prices aren’t all that high out here, at least not from what I was expecting. Gas is actually the same price at many locations, and cheaper at a few. Most of the things I’ve picked up from stores have been similarly priced to what they would be back home. Their selection of stores still blows my mind. Within a 15-minute drive of my hotel, there are more stores than I’ve probably been to in my life. Plazas and malls and restaurants are sprawled out for

miles on end. In a town that is only an hour from both San Diego and Los Angeles, this area seems to be a center hub for the commuter. They can have an “easy” one or two-hour drive to work (depending on traffic), and then come back out to the country to relax and shop. The growth, I think, is the most amazing thing out here. Back home, it seems that most buildings are depreciating; slowly falling into disrepair. While some businesses are thriving, it seems startups are having a harder and harder time. Granted, New York is locked into 50th place for being friendly to small businesses, but still. There is construction and improvements being done on nearly every street I drive. Public maintenance crews are keeping the streets looking pristine - which of course is much easier without salt tarnishing their beauty. But, like I said - despite the heat, the palm trees, the buildings, despite everything, I prefer home. Home is where the heart is, as they say, and my heart seems be permanently affixed to Chautauqua County.

feels cold. I’d prefer a drive down Rt. 20, and see houses that are a few years old next to houses that are 150 years old. Not to mention, the population. Out here, people think nothing of a 30-minute drive to and from a destination. No. Thank. You. Give me my ten minutes to and from work, and I’m a happy guy. Everything is so massive, so sprawled out; I love the closeness of our communities. One of the main things, though, that I’ll give this area (between San Diego and Los Angeles) is the incredible food selection out here. Within a ten-day span, I’ve tried more new foods than I’ve ever had before; real Sushi, Korean and Thai just to name a few. There is an interesting mix of ethnicities out here. There seems to be little differentiated between races. Everyone shops at the same places, eats the same foods. Those who are immigrants bring their ethnic flair, while still recognizing the fact that they desire to be Americans. Again, this is from a quick glance. I’m sure there are areas on the outskirts that are harsher environments,

ADopt a pet

This week we are featuring “Sarge” and “Trouble”. Trouble is an eleven-month-old kitty that came to the shelter with his sister Mittens. He is a sweet boy that is looking for a family to call his own. If someone would like to adopted Trouble and Mittens together that would be great. Sarge is a six-year-old beagle/ basset mix. He is a nice dog, very laid back and would prefer a belly rub to a run in the woods. If either of these pets sounds like the one for you, please stop by the Adoption Center at 2825 Strunk Road, Jamestown, NY to meet them.

Community news Being A Stay-at-home-mom on a Budget, Part 4

By Katy Wise Star Contributing Writer

Towards the beginning of January, we started talking about ways to make being a stay-athome-mom affordable. Not just for people desiring to be a stayat-home parent, but for anyone who desires to cut back on unnecessary expenses and save some money. I don’t have any points to share that haven’t been shared already, but I would like to revisit what we discussed and do a mini review session. Maybe a review session with some brownies involved? If you missed it, last week I shared my favorite brownie recipe. On that note, I would also like to mention that in that recipe, ½ cup of vegetable oil can be substituted with ½ cup of Greek yogurt. Joshua (my little baking assistant) and I tried this recipe out last week, and it has been toddler and mommy approved. I am not going to lie to you and tell you that it tasted the same as the original recipe, but it was still good. Our first piece in this series was ways to cut your household budget. Consider cutting back on non-essentials such as TV and eating out. Find ways to imple-

ment homemade items, such as baby food, into your house. Buy things in bulk or value packages, and stock up if time and money in the future. Don’t skimp on things like laundry detergent and cleaners. Although they may be more expensive, keep in mind that they are keeping other purchases usable. Laundry detergent that makes your clothes last longer will save you money in the long run, especially if you have multiple children. Week number two of our money saving series was spent talking about coupons. Sign up for coupon offers and rewards programs from stores that you frequent, and learn to watch your emails for sales patterns. If purchasing for kids, buying end of season clothes in next years’ anticipated size can be a huge money saver.

While coupons are great, coupon scams are absolutely not great. Be wary of stores asking for too much information, and if they seem suspicious you may want to Google search for certain scams involving that vendor or read reviews from other customers. The most recent article on this same topic, which was 2 weeks ago (before our ‘brownie break’) focused on grocery shopping. Money saving coupons for groceries can be found not only in weekly publications, but also online. Grocery store websites often have coupons available to print off at home for store purchases, and there are many other websites that have printable coupons available. If you have not yet

heard of any of these websites, you can use Google once again, searching for ‘printable coupons.’ Be sure to make a list before going to the store in order to keep suspicious items out of your cart. These suspicious items include, but are not limited to, Oreos, chocolate chips, ice cream, chips, etc. I am not trying to tell you not to buy these items, I’m just pointing out that those certain items seem to jump into my cart when I’m not looking. The list helps to keep them from jumping into your cart. While making your list, mark down which items have coupons so that you don’t forget to use a coupon or check for the best price. Another time saving tip is to make your list in the same order that you will shop through the store in. Most people have a certain path or route that they take when grocery shopping. Organizing your list by department can help to keep you from making a trip all the way to the back of the store after you thought you were done. If you have any money saving tips that you wish to share, please email us at: katy.wise@ star-mediagroup.com Happy Shopping!

the Chances of Alzheimer’s disease Contributed Article personality. Alzheimer’s Association

According to the Alzheimer’s Association’s 2013 Facts and Figures report, AfricanAmericans are about twice as likely to have Alzheimer's disease, but less likely to have a diagnosis. Current research indicates the higher prevalence may be due to a number of factors, including chronic health disparities, such as higher rates of high blood pressure, diabetes and vascular disease in African American communities. It is believed these health conditions may also be risk factors for Alzheimer’s. Many people also unknowingly overlook the warning signs of Alzheimer's, believing they are merely a part of normal aging. Alzheimer’s Association 10 Warning Signs: • Memory loss that disrupts daily life. • Challenges in planning or solving problems. • Difficulty completing familiar tasks at home, at work or at leisure. • Confusion with time or place. • Trouble understanding visual images and spatial relationships. • New problems with words in speaking or writing. • Misplacing things and losing the ability to retrace steps. • Decreased or poor judgment. • Withdrawal from work or social activities. • Changes in mood and

While there are currently no treatments to stop or even slow the progression of Alzheimer’s, early detection and diagnosis can allow for earlier use of available treatments that may provide some relief of symptoms and help maintain independence longer. Delays in diagnosis mean those with the disease are not getting treatments when they are most likely to be effective at improving quality of life. Earlier diagnosis would also allow families to take critical steps to educate themselves on Alzheimer’s and establish support networks. “The warning signs are important for everyone to know, regardless of age, race, or risk,” advises Andrew Wilton, the Director of Outreach Initiatives at the Western New York Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association. “Having a good understanding of what normal brain and memory function look like will help people to recognize when they should be concerned about changes in their own memory or the memory of a family member or friend.” The Alzheimer's Association offers a variety of resources for learning about the disease and related dementias, including print and web-based resources, classes, and consultation services.

Opera House Capital Campaign Halfway to Meeting Goal

Contributed Article 1891 Fredonia Opera House

The 1891 Fredonia Opera House is making progress in its efforts to raise $300,000 for needed technology and facility improvements. Maintain & Sustain… A Capital Campaign for the NEXT 20 Years, kicked off publicly in early June, and with direct contributions and multiyear pledges raised to date, is currently halfway to meeting its goal. “Our biggest fund-raising push is over,” says Executive Director Rick Davis, “but we’ve only raised just shy of $155,000 thus far. Without meeting goal, the need will not go away. So we will continue to accept contributions and pledges as we move forward with the highest priority needs.” The first - and one of the most costly - technology projects to be funded by the campaign has been completed. A new digital cinema projection system was installed in July, according to Davis. The new system provides high definition digital projection of all films in the Cinema Series. It also provides sound

improvements resulting in crisper, clearer dialogue and an enhanced surround sound experience. “We’re very fortunate that we have supportive patrons whose contributions enable us to install this system. I read an article recently about the conversion of the film industry to digital; and the author projected that more than 20% of the small, independent movie theatres will close due to an inability to fund the necessary conversion to digital equipment.” The $80,000 cinema installation topped the prioritized list of needs, says Davis. Other projects yet to be completed include: Light Board $5,120 Color Scrollers $3,520 Color Cyc Lights $4,000 15” Monitor Speakers $750 Black Stage Legs $3,030 Black Stage Borders $2,960 Compressor & Pro EQ for Live Event Sound $500 Sound Board with four additional channels $2,960

Temple Street Fire Escape Door Repairs $7,500 Wall Plaster Repairs $4,000 Electric Stage Linesets $12,500 Repairs to Lobby Doors $4,000 Reserves for Air Conditioning Replacement $127,000 Stair Carpet Replacement $2,500 Seat Bottoms $8,500 Window Sashes & Frames Replacement $21,000 Many of these projects represent upgrades to and/or replacement of technology used in presenting live performances and repairs to the facility itself. Live performance events at the Opera House utilize the theatre’s existing technology to the utmost; but it has many limitations. The planned upgrades amount to basic needs essential to keeping a theatre running today. In addition, the Opera House has operated year-round since 1997. This constant use has caused wear and tear on the facility and its fixtures, including the air conditioning system, seats, the 120-year-old plaster walls

and wooden windows, stage accoutrements and numerous other parts of the theatre. These projects address many of those areas. Those wishing to contribute to the Maintain & Sustain campaign can donate funds outright or pledge donations to be paid over a period of up to three years. Gifts of stock or investments also will be accepted. It’s important to note that the money raised from the Maintain & Sustain campaign will not be used for daily operations, but will be restricted to funding the needed capital improvements. Likewise, the Opera House’s annual membership campaign, conducted in the fall of each year, will be used to generate funds for general operating purposes. Chautauqua County’s only yearround performing arts center, the 1891 Fredonia Opera House is a member-supported not-for-profit organization located in Village Hall in downtown Fredonia. A complete schedule of events is available at www.fredopera.org.

Is there anything more delicious that fresh maple syrup on pancakes or waffles – or even ice cream? At the Audubon Center & Sanctuary you can learn the basic principles and procedures for making maple syrup. “The Art of Making Maple Syrup” will be held on Saturday morning, February 15 at Audubon, followed by a trip to Uncle Rick’s Sugar House in Ashville, New York, in March. The 10-11:30 a.m. program at Audubon will begin in the multipurpose room, where a slide show and lecture will describe what it takes to make maple syrup. Instructor Rick Rupprecht will bring samples of the equipment he uses and talk about alternatives that are available. A quick walk outside will help you learn to identify a sugar maple from the other trees in the yard by looking closely at branches and bark. Each participant will receive a certificate good for one visit in March to Uncle Rick’s Sugar House: The Home of the Happy Pancakes. Because cooking sap is dependent on the weather, the visit cannot be scheduled yet. Participants will be given the

SUNY Fredonia

SUNY Fredonia School of Music

The Musical Journeys Program of the Fredonia School of Music will continue accepting registration for the Spring Session of Pathways to Music program, which will be held again in the gymnasium of the Campus & Community Children's Center. Pathways to Music provides an opportunity for children and parents to discover the joys of experiencing music while singing, moving, listening, dancing and playing. The Program is designed for children ages 6 months through 5 years old. Each class is a combination of age-appropriate musical activities including songs, fi nger plays, dances, bouncing games, circle games, instrument exploration, lullabies and more. In a playful manner, children will be gaining a wide appreciation of music while developing language, motor, creative and social skills. The curriculum used for Pathways to Music

is a holistic approach to age-specific early childhood music education, modeled after “First Steps in Music” by Dr. John Feierabend of the University of Hartford. Faculty members for Pathways to Music have extensive training and experience. Sonja Inglefield holds a Masters degree in Early Childhood Music Pedagogy from the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore, Maryland. She spent almost ten years teaching early childhood music on the Peabody Preparatory faculty and in the Baltimore City Schools before moving to western New York. Kay Barlow holds Level 1 Certification from the Center for Music and Young Children and the American OrffSchulwerk Association,

in addition to Masters of Music and Bachelor of Music Education degrees. She was a recipient of the 2005 Chautauqua County Early Childhood Award for Excellence in teaching. “In Pathways to Music, children are encouraged to explore creative expression,” says Ms. Inglefield. “Every year, there is more and more research confirming the positive influence of music and movement on the healthy development of children. Even a very young child can benefit from the stimulation of a musical environment. Having a stress-free, enjoyable time in your week is healthy for parents too!” The weekly classes are for one child and one accompanying parent or guardian. Three classes

will be offered this spring. Pioneers (ages 6 to 24 months) will meet on Saturdays from 9:30 to 10:00 am; Explorers (2 and 3 year-olds) will meet on Saturdays from 10:00 to 10:45 am; and Adventurers (4 and 5 year olds) will meet on Tuesdays from 6:15 to 7:00 pm. Total cost for the 10 week course is $95 for Pioneers and $125 for Explorers and Adventurers. Beginning on Saturday, February 8 and Tuesday, February 11, all classes will be held in the gymnasium of the Campus & Community Children’s Center on the SUNY Fredonia campus. For more information and registration forms, please visit www.fredonia.edu/music/community/pathways.asp or call Sonja Inglefeld at 673-3599.

Jefferson Middle School fifth grade students applied their new knowledge about human rights through a case study of how a fictional character responds to a humans rights challenge by reading, Esperanza Rising by Pam Munoz Ryan in their ELA classes. In addition, many of the students completed two activities with the unit: creating yarn dolls like the characters in the book and performing a Reader’s Theater. The ELA module included the four primary language skills: reading, writing, listening and speaking. They also read informational texts related to the story’s historical content.

Family Series At SUNY Fredonia Offers Up Vaudeville Mayhem Contributed Article SUNY Fredonia

Henrik Bothe and Woody Keppel are internationally renowned vaudevillians and veterans of film, television, radio and the stage. Under the stage name of Wells and Woodhead, they have performed for audiences on six continents — and they now return to unleash their antics at SUNY Fredonia’s Rockefeller Arts Center for the first time since 2009.

7 p.m. in Marvel Theatre. The show, which is about one hour in length, is recommended for children ages 6 and up and their parents and grandparents. Wells, the “dapper Dane,” and Woodhead, the “bumbling fool,” promise to take audiences on a “fun-filled ride where anything joyous seems possible.” Their show, “Masters of Mayhem,” is a characterdriven amalgam of theater, music, comedy and juggling that visually demonstrates the power of cooperation between performers with vastly different dispositions.

Bothe, fluent in four languages, is a Danish juggler with enormous dexterity and casual ease, while his partner, Keppel, weaves a tapestry of chaos, slapstick and “eclectic” music with the menacing uncertainty of a tornado.

Budgeting For your wedding

By Katy Wise Contributing Writer

Now that you have a date set for the big day, your color scheme picked out, and maybe even a dress picked out, it’s time to set a budget. Even after some purchases are already made, it will still help to know exactly how much more you’re willing to spend. Find a number that you can agree on with your future spouse, and discuss different areas of the budget that can be compromised on if necessary. If there is anyone contributing to the wedding expenses, such as a parent or grandparent, you may want to consider politely asking them how much they would like to spend. Another sweet gesture would be to ask if they want their contribution to go to anything specific. For example, if a grandmother wishes to help, she may want to spend her money on your dress or bouquet. If that’s the case, make sure that they have the opportunity to come with you for this memorable day. You can make a day out of it, and it will be a cherished memory that you share together. Wedding planning

is more fun when you have loved ones to share it with! Getting a rough idea of how your budget will be divided will be helpful in the near future, especially if you fi nd yourself caught with an unexpected charge last minute. Set your budget agreeing on a maximum amount, and then try to spend less than that. That is the point of staying within budget, is it not? Planning to spend about $200 - $500 less than your maximum will set up somewhat of an emergency fund. Perfect for those last minute or unexpected costs that have a way of sneak-

Keeping the Faith Testament where God answered prayers for many things including spiritual strengthening (Acts 4:31), natural needs like food (1 Kings 17:14), and healing (Acts 3:2-8). In light of these examples that do show that God answer prayers, your question can then be Rev. Michael phrased as… "If God Lokietek answers prayers, why Family Church Fredonia not me?" Over the next fcfredonia.org few columns we’ll be discussing those things Dear Pastor, I pray all the that can get in the way time but it seems that my or hinder our prayers. prayers don't get answered. The first hindrance Am I doing something to prayer may be that wrong? you’re praying outside Keeping the Faith has of God's will. In the previously addressed Book of James, the a question regarding Apostle James was whether prayer actually chiding Christians reworks. While summing garding strife and bad up the response with behavior. In verse 4:3 an "absolutely yes!", we in the Amplified Bible showed that it is God's Version, he said, "You will that if you ask any- do ask (God for them) thing of Him, He will and yet fail to receive, give it to you (Matthew because you ask with 7:7-11).

We can you get what you desire) give several examples to spend it on sensual from the Old and New pleasures." God can’t

answer prayers that go against His will and still be God. Anything that doesn’t line up with the Word violates His will! We see this in 1 John 5:14-15, "Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him." Whenever we go to God, we need to go with a clean heart and be willing to line up with His Word. How do we ensure this? First, we can ask God to reveal any wrong motives that we are harboring. Wrong thinking may cloud our judgment and impact our prayer attitude. Then, if God has shown us any areas that need addressing, we can ask His forgiveness and adjust our thinking and our prayers to make sure that we line up with His will. Next week…more on prayer hindrances.

RESTORING RELATIONSHIPS AND FINANCES IN 2014 PART 2

Rev. Tim Stahlman Family Church Jamestown fcjamestown.org

As I studied the Bible to find correlations between relationships and finances, I read something very interesting in Genesis chapter 4. It seems as though the first recorded murder in history was perpetrated over a matter of money. The account includes two brothers, Cain and Abel. For those who aren’t familiar with the story, let me recap: God had commanded each of them to bring an offering before the Lord. Cain brought fruit of the ground and Abel brought the firstborn lamb from his flock. It says that God had SWEET AND SAVORy, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 respect for Abel and his Tickets will be picked days of the event. event tickets. offering, but He did not up at your chosen host Reservations for groups “This is something respect Cain and his winery for the event, of eight or more people we all look forward to offering.

Just showing up in the

place of worship won’t change your life. We better learn to bring what God has commanded. The Bible teaches us to bring the tithe of all our income. Yes, even now in the New Testament, we are to tithe. If Cain wanted God to honor him, he should have brought that which honored God. So often we want the blessing without obeying. Don’t expect to receive the blessing of God if you aren’t obeying his commands for you finances. Notice Cain’s greed towards God became his greed towards his brother. If a person is stingy with God, they will be stingy with you. Cain dishonored God with his finances, and later he stole his brother’s life. Cain suffered from major character flaws. First, he expected to be respected. When he didn’t get the respect he felt he deserved, he acted out. In your dealings with people you cannot hold them to lofty expectations. If you have expectations for the way people should treat you, you will be let down. So don’t put your expectations on people to love you, put your expectation on you to love them. If you treat people the way they treat you, then your standards will go up and down with the

attitudes of others. But if your standard is the love of God, then your standards will always be high! Here is my goal: If someone loves me, I love them. If someone slanders me, I love them. If someone buys me a gift, I love them. If someone insults me, I love them. The actions of others should not govern my attitude. God loved me with an unthinkable mercy, and that governs my actions. Cain was ambitious; Abel was willing. Ambition is the counterfeit of willingness. Willingness is the desire to serve God and others without the need to be noticed. Ambition is selfish and demands to be recognized. When you depend on others to produce good feelings in you, you are ambitious. But when you seek to put something good into someone’s day without it having to be returned, you have a willing heart. People that give to God generously without having to be recognized will walk in divine favor. Those that thrive on personal attention are sowing the seeds of greediness. Eventually that attitude will catch up with you, and it will produce hurt in your relationships and destruction in your fi nances.

Robert Nalepa is the only player in the history of the Dunkirk High School boys basketball program to reach the 1,000-point milestone. He graduated in 2009 after scoring 1,039 points in a varsity career that began as a freshman. Five years later, Nalepa’s No. 4 jersey has been officially retired. “It’s pretty crazy to think about,” Nalepa said prior to Dunkirk’s game against rival Fredonia on Friday night. “Growing up my best sport was baseball. But everybody was always saying that basketball was my best sport. I still don’t know if I agree with them. I had a good career and I miss it every day.” Clearly Nalepa was a standout basketball player. No one scores 1,000 points with just pure luck. But considering he was a threeyear starter as Dunkirk’s quarterback on the football team and went on to play Division I baseball at St. Bonaventure, it’s certainly difficult to pinpoint Nalepa’s best sport. “In the summer we would always have summer leagues,” former Dunkirk basketball coach Rich Catalano said. “But I knew

Robert was a baseball player so I never bothered him so he could concentrate on baseball. But I would always remind him that he’s not too bad at basketball either.” “My favorite memory,” Nalepa said when asked about his high school playing career, “is beating Fredonia here my senior year. It’s not even my 1,000 points game. We got crushed that game so it puts a damper on it a little bit. But we hadn’t beaten Fredonia is a few years so that was exciting.” “This is the first Dunkirk-

Fredonia game I’ve been at since I coached in this gym,” Catalano added. “We always talk about that game. Robert played a great game and scored the winning basket. He got the ball on a missed foul shot from Fredonia, went the length of the court and put a head-and-shoulder fake at the free throw line and went in with his left hand. His ability to play with both his left and right hand were equal. He could excel with both hands. He was a coach’s dream.” It takes more than talent to become a school’s career

It also takes opportunity — an opportunity that Catalano simply couldn’t deny Nalepa even as a freshman. “When he was a freshman I was wondering if I should move him up or not,” the former coach noted. “But I never like to move kids up too early. We called him up for the playoff game in Alden and he ended up playing the entire second quarter and scored the first of his 1,000 points. He played well in the playoff game.

Jamestown Avenges Loss to Frontier; Lady t-Birds Hammer panama By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

January’s loss to Frontier remains the lone blemish on the Jamestown Lady Red Raiders’ league record this season. Jamestown was able to avenge that loss with a 54-47 win in the rematch on Tuesday in Hamburg. A big offensive fi rst quarter helped the Lady Red Raiders jump out to a nine-point lead in the game’s fi rst eight minutes. From there, Jamestown was able to rely on defense and timely buckets to hang on for the win to improve to 9-1 in the league and 14-2 overall. Chrisanna Green led the charge with 15 points while Anne Campion added 10 in the win. Southwestern 45, Maple Grove 38 Southwestern (4-3, 7-6) jumped out to a firstquarter lead but then needed a late comeback after Maple Grove made things interesting in the second half, Tuesday during a CCAA Division 1 contest.

Stephen Castriota (Bellport, N.Y.) and Blake Forslund (Owen Sound, Ont.) had two goals each as Fredonia State celebrated 2014 Pink The Rink with a 5-2 win Saturday over the Morrisville State Mustangs. Alex Perkins (St. Albert, Alberta) also scored for the Blue Devils and goaltender Jeff Flagler (Owen Sound, Ont.) made 35 saves as the Blue Devils improved to 7-9-4 overall and 4-4-3 in the SUNYAC. Daniel Morello had a goal and an assist and John Doyle had one goal for the Mustangs, who fell to 5-13-2 overall and 2-9-1 in the conference. The game featured the Blue Devils in pink jerseys and socks, as well as the four on-ice officials in pink and black striped shirts, as part of the team's annual Pink The Rink celebration. All the players' jerseys and the four officials' shirts

Morrello staked the Mustangs to a 1-0 lead on a power-play goal at 7:09 of the fi rst period when he deflected a shot from the point. The Blue Devils pulled even on Forslund's fi rst goal at 17:46 when he deflected a shot from the point.

Castriota and Ryan Wilkinson (Calgary, Alberta) earned assists. Morrisville State scored the only goal of the second period, a tally by Doyle, 41 seconds into the period on a power-play. The Blue Devils began their scoring outburst right off the opening faceoff to start the third period.

The Mustangs won the draw and attempted a high pass, which Perkins caught and dropped to the ice. He stick-handled between two defensemen and scored an unassisted goal with a shot from the high slot just 10 seconds into the period. It was his fi fth goal of the season. Castriota broke a 2-2 tie with a wrap-around back-hander following a battle for the puck behind the net. Matt Owczarczak (Buffalo, N.Y.) and Travis Fernley (Calgary, Alberta) picked up assists. He added to the lead with a shot through a screen, his ninth goal of the year, assisted by Owczarzak and Hunter Long (Lebanon, Tenn.). The capacity crowd of 1,014 had just fi nished celebrating when the Blue Devils scored again. Following a Morrisville State turnover, Long fed Forslund who one-timed a hard, high shot from the top of the right faceoff circle. It was his fourth goal of the season.

Her parents were members at TriCounty Country Club, where they played every weekend. When Miller was 17, her mother and some friends took her to the

sic LPGA tournament at River Oaks Country Club at Grand Island. ‘‘That is when the dream was born,’’ Miller recalls. She attended Fredonia State for one semester and played a couple of matches on the men’s golf team. Miller wrote to Golf Digest to see if they had a list of colleges with women’s golf programs, which at that time were rare, and she was sent a list. Miller contacted the University of Miami and asked if she could be on the team. Miami said she wasn’t good enough, but she was welcomed to try to make the team as a walk-on. Miller took the challenge and headed to the Florida campus. She practiced, practiced and practiced some more and earned a scholarship for her last three years at Miami. She was the team captain for two of the Hurricanes’ national championship teams in 1977 and 1978 and graduated as an All-American. Not long after that, Miller won the 1978 New York State Women’s Amateur. In 1979, Miller picked up her first professional win in the Lake Chabot Women’s Open on the Women’s Professional Lady Hillbillies, the Frewsburg Lady Bears have been the glaring exception.

In 1981, Miller married PGA Tour pro Allen Miller and began raising a family. When Allen retired in 1986, Miller moved back to Silver Creek and began a successful teaching career at the Wehrle Dome in Williamsville. In 2001, 2006, 2007, 2008, Miller was named among the Top 50 Teachers in the Country by Golf for Women Magazine. In 2010 she was named the LPGA National Teacher of the Year.

Miller became a ‘‘TV star’’ in 2005 when she appeared on Golf Channel’s Big Break III: Ladies Only. She was 48 and competing on the reality show with nine other golfers in their 20s and 30s. During an interview to make the show, Miller was asked why Golf Channel should pick her. ‘‘I’ll tell you why you should pick me,’’ Miller said. ‘‘If you’re trying to make the viewing audience of the Golf Channel become middle-aged women, I’m the perfect candidate, I’m 48 years old, I’m married with three children, I played on the LPGA Tour, my husband played on the PGA Tour and, by the way, we’re the only couple in the world that are married that have both played on the real tour and the senior tour. We have the family challenges. I am a normal, typical person who

happens to have a golf skill. In fact, I could be your miracle story and the light of the show. That’s why you should pick me.’’ Miller was the miracle story as she outlasted most of the 20- and 30-somethings and made it to the final three before being eliminated on the next-to-last show. Plenty of people learned about Miller because at that time Big Break III was the highest-rated show ever on Golf Channel. When Golf Channel made plans for The Big Break VII: Reunion featuring 16 former participants, Miller was chosen. That’s because there is a wall of photos of past Big Break participants at Golf Channel and one of the network’s executives saw Miller’s photo and said, ‘‘We have to have her back.’’ Miller was eliminated on The Big Break VII on the first episode when she lost in an elimination challenge that involved hitting an 82-yard bunker shot. ‘‘An 82-yard bunker shot is the hardest shot in golf,’’ Miller said. The Big Break series just completed its 20th edition, but Big Break III is still the top-rated Big Break show and is one of the few that has

CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 2014

COMMENTARy, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 24 You know why else I’m not disappointed? Because Seattle fans have never gotten to experience a Super Bowl win. So soak it in Seahawks fans. It’s a great, euphoric feeling but it doesn’t last long. Before that game was even over (which was what, one play in?) most fans already turned their attention to the draft. And this doesn’t go for those Seahawks “fans” that suddenly posted pictures of themselves on Facebook wearing a Russell Wilson jersey. If you didn’t spend years rooting for the progression of Dave Krieg, Warren Moon, Jon Kitna and Matt Hasselbeck (among others, of course), you have no right to celebrate this win. Part of this comes from a few years ago when the Packers won the Super Bowl and suddenly everyone and their mother was a Packers fan. If you didn’t suffer through the bad, you can’t revel in the good. But big props go out to my friend Sara. She’s the only true Seahawks fan I know and she certainly deserves the Cloud 9 feeling she’s undoubtedly had all week. Onto the game, shall we? The first thing that jumped out to me (besides the hideous Seahawks jerseys) was the crowd noise when Denver had the ball. The Super Bowl traditionally is a pretty corporate crowd, but this year the Seattle fans came out in droves.

The commentators shrugged that off when Denver’s first snap was botched and resulted in a safety, but I’m fairly certain Peyton and Co. didn’t expect to deal with that kind of noise. Secondly, Denver was clearly missing Von Miller. The Broncos pass rush never laid a finger on Russell Wilson. While the quarterback didn’t put up great stats, he made enough plays and was granted good enough field position where he didn’t have to throw for 300 yards. One thing that bothered me about the Super Bowl more than I remember it bothering me in the past was the glorification of big hits while solid form tackling wasn’t noted at all. Seahawks safety Kam Chancellor is a supremely talented player, but he’s the biggest culprit here. He had a couple big hits on Denver receivers. Each time, Joe Buck and Troy Aikman started drooling all over themselves like Chancellor is the second coming of Lawrence Taylor. The problem? Chancellor was looking at his own feet every time he made a hit. His arms were down by his side. What happened to wrapping up a ball carrier and looking at what you’re tackling? Speaking of tackling: Could Denver’s tackling have been any worse? Percy Harvin’s kickoff return was really nothing special. I mean, he ran really quickly while Denver players bounced off

is still the man. You may still be wondering why I titled this commentary “Well That Was Refreshing” and I’ll tell you. I’ve been saying for years that I can’t believe every Super Bowl game for the past 10 years has come down to the last play. No, really, I can’t believe it. There’s so much money riding on the Super Bowl through bets and advertising that I just can’t believe that the league itself doesn’t take measure to make it close. But how many TVs in Denver do you think turned off after Percy Harvin returned that kick for a touchdown? Everyone on social media was talking about how disappointed they were that the game was a blowout, but I was actually happy. Maybe, just maybe, I can take the Super Bowl seriously again. Because let’s face it, if the league was pulling for one team over the other, it would have been Peyton’s team. Though he hasn’t announced retirement or anything. That’ll be the year to put some money on him.

Chautauqua Lake

The Lake Erie tributaries are almost completely frozen over, and the weekend's milder temperatures will likely not be enough to open anything up. Productive wintertime steelhead baits include egg sacs, egg imitation flies, trout beads and hair jigs tipped with a waxworm (fished under a float). In cold water conditions, it is best to keep drifted offerings slow and deep, as steelhead are more lethargic and hugging the bottom. It is also good to concentrate efforts during the warmest part of the day when chasing winter steelhead. For those new to steelhead fishing, see the Steelhead Fishing in Lake Erie Tributaries page for information on steelhead fishing equipment, locations and links to stream maps.

Ice Fishing

Some of the area waters have thick ice of a foot or more, making sharp auger blades a must. Cold and windy weather limited ice angling activity through mid-week, but with milder temps on the way it looks like this will be a great weekend to be out. Anglers should still keep in mind that ice thickness can vary greatly on the same body of water, especially near springs and stream inlets. Before you head out on the ice this winter, remember that a minimum of 3 to 4 inches of solid ice (blue or black, not white) is the general rule for safety. Drilling holes or tapping with a spud bar to check ice thickness is recommended on your way out. Safety ice picks, boot cleats, a throw rope and a floatation device are recommended safety supplies. Use good judgment and fish with a friend when possible. Those new to ice fishing can check the Ice Fishing Basics page for more information. See the Lake Contour Maps page for maps organized by county.

Chautauqua has thick ice of 10 inches or more lake-wide. Anglers fishing the flats in 8-15 feet off Mayville, report non-stop action for bluegill and yellow perch. However, expect to catch many smaller throwbacks for every keeper. This is a great place to take young anglers with short attention spans. Other shallower embayments in the north basin and much of the south basin are also good areas to target sunfish and perch. Crappie have shown well at times during low light periods off Mayville and Burtis Bay. Anglers take crappie in shallow zones on jigs with grubs, small jig heads with a minnow or by dead sticking a minnow. When fishing for crappie it is wise to jig at various depths as crappie are often suspended. Walleye fishing improved this week with catches reported along deeper drops off Prendergast and Dewittville. Good numbers of walleye with a few keeper sized mixed in were caught in 20-28 feet of water off Long Point. Anglers generally target walleye during low light periods with jigging Rapalas, jigging spoons or shiners on a tip-up.

Cattaraugus County Lakes

A number of lakes in Cattaraugus County have good ice and offer a variety of ice fishing opportunities. Case, Harwood, Allen, New Albion and Red House Lakes mostly offer fishing for smaller yellow perch and a variety of sunfish. However, there is also an opportunity to catch large breeder trout that were stocked in the fall by the Randolph Fish Hatchery. Quaker Lake offers fair northern pike fishing and was also stocked with breeder trout in fall. If you need more fishing information or would like to contribute to the fishing report, please call or e-mail Mike Todd (716-851-7010; mttodd@ gw.dec.state.ny.us) or Jim Markham Small Boat Harbor (716-366-0228; jlmarkha@gw.dec.

Modern Ice Fishing Embraces Mobile Shelters, Electronics By Jon Storm Star Contributing Writer

Ice fishing has come a long way and today's dedicated ice aficionados invest in the latest equipment to increase both their catching and their comfort. From electronics to catalytic heaters to pop-up and flip-over shelters, ice fishing has truly come of age.

ler his is ers r Shelters rth Ice shelters come in several different in styles and types and three are the nfish most common – flip-over, cabinwell style and hub-style. Flip-over shelters attach to durable plastic sleds that also store gear and feature thick nes canvas supported by aluminum ds poling. Flip-over shelters are easy to ng move – just flip up the top, pull the ppie sled to a new hole, flip it back down as and keep fishing. The integrated all- sleds make it easy to keep all your with gear neat and tidy. rops Cabin-style shelters are similar to flip-over, but are taller and square and a few don't flip over – they more resemble a ht tent and are higher in the middle and Point. again supported by poling. ging Hub-style shelters, also known as rs

"pop-outs," are lightweight and somewhat resemble a child's pop-out play shelter. Ice screws secure each corner to the ice. These are the newest style of shelter – invented just five or six years ago – and are the most affordable. An entry-level 2-man hub shelter costs as little as $159.99. Popular shelter manufactures include Frabill, Otter and Clam Corp.

Electronics

Ice fishing used to be a guessing game. Not anymore. Several decades ago, ingenious anglers in Minnesota removed flashers from their boat dashboards and rigged them with car batteries for ice fishing. Flashers are now everywhere on the ice. Their advantage lies in their real-time report and ultrasensitivity: Anglers can literally watch a small ice spoon (represented as a colored line) 40, 50 and even 70

feet below the surface, then react as a fish (represented as a larger line) comes in for a sniff. Expect to spend $300-plus to purchase an entry-level flasher from companies like Marcum and Vexilar. Many place its importance well above a shelter and won't fish without one. Another popular piece of electronics is the underwater camera. These are ideal for ice fishing because the camera is so easy to control. Place the camera down one hole, your bait down another and watch all the action unfold. Lastly is GPS. It would be impossible to overstate the impace GPS has had on fishing. Anglers can mark a hotspot and return to that precise location the next day. They can trade GPS waypoints with their friends to share information to eliminate guesswork. And GPS can also be used to coordinate position on the ice with maps and depth guides. Handheld GPS units record position, but the Navionics app for smartphones utilizes highly accurate depth-contour maps that are intuitive and easy to navigate. Well worth the $9.99 price tag.

Crosby, Penguins Cruise Past Sabres, 5-1

By John Wawrow AP Sports Writer

Sidney Crosby still has Ryan Miller's number after scoring a highlight-reel go-ahead goal in Pittsburgh's 5-1 victory over the Buffalo Sabres on Wednesday night. That's fine with Penguins coach Dan Bylsma, so long as that trend doesn't continue once the Winter Games open next week. ''I was cheering the goal this time,'' said Bylsma, who will be switching hats in Sochi, where he will be coaching Miller on the U.S. team. ''It did dawn on me as Sid was going in and he scores that goal.'' Crosby, Canada's captain, had a goal and assist in a pre-Olympic tuneup in which the Eastern Conference-leading Penguins (4015-2) set a franchise record by reaching 40 wins in 57 games. That eclipsed the previous mark of 40 wins in 65 games in 1995-96. Evgeni Malkin, James Neal, Brian Gibbons and minor-league call-up Harry

That it happened against Buffalo and Miller shouldn't come as a surprise. Crosby has at least a point in all 14 trips to Buffalo (9 goals and 13 assists). And he has been particularly sharp at beating Miller, including the goldmedal winning overtime goal in Canada's 3-2 victory at the Vancouver Games four years ago. ''He made some big saves tonight,'' Crosby said in defense of Miller. ''Can't blame him. He held his team in it. And we scored some nice goals.'' The performance didn't sit well with Miller, but he doesn't think it will carry Matt Ellis #37 is stopped on a first period shot by Marc-Andre Fleury #29 of the Pittsburgh over to the Olympics.

Penguins win season series, continued from pg 34 That was evident on Crosby's goal, which came on the power play 2:08 into the second period, and put the Penguins up 2-1. Immediately after Marc-Andre Fleury stopped Buffalo's Brian Flynn in close, Crosby circled his own net and built up a head of steam by driving up the left wing. Accepting Matt Niskanen's pass while crossing center, Crosby didn't break stride in cutting between Flynn and Mike Weber. He then drove toward the net and snapped a shot just inside the top right corner. Neal joked that he's seen Crosby score goals like that so many times that he didn't even celebrate, but instead simply headed to the bench. Miller had no chance some 17 minutes later, when Malkin scored on the breakaway. Pouncing on Marcus

Foligno's turnover inside the Penguins' blue line, Malkin streaked past flat-footed defender Jamie McBain. Driving in alone on Miller, he faked going right and went left to deposit the puck in the open side. Miller is one of the three U.S. goalies selected to play at Sochi, and the game against the Penguins was regarded his last chance to make a firsthand impression on Bylsma. Bylsma has yet to name his starter, and maintained that Miller's performance on Wednesday would have no influence on his decision. Miller was coming off his worst outing of the season. He was benched after giving up five goals on 27 shots through two periods in a 7-1 loss at Colorado on Saturday. He allowed three goals on 28 shots through two periods before the floodgates

opened in the third. Gibbons scored off a face off, and Neal on a transition break. ''The first period we weren't very sharp,'' Crosby said. ''Yeah, we took a little bit of time to get going, but once we did, I felt like we did grab a lot of momentum there.'' NOTES: The Sabres played without D Tyler Myers, who hurt his right leg in a 3-2 loss to Edmonton on Monday. Coach Ted Nolan has not ruled out Myers from playing in their preOlympic break finale at Ottawa on Thursday. ... Zolnierczyk stepped into the lineup a day after being recalled from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. He replaced Taylor Pyatt (lower body), who was hurt in a 2-1 overtime win over Ottawa on Monday. ... The Penguins completed a three-game series sweep of the Sabres, and improved to 12-4 in their past 16 meetings.

The names on this list have produced an average total return of 19.4% over the past 10 years compared to 10.9% for the S&P 500. * In fact, they’ve outperformed the broad-market index almost every year since the list’s inception. Maybe it really is the thought that counts. LIFE WELL PLANNED.

The holding period for each year’s list is approximately 55 weeks from the inception date to December 31 of the following year. A complete record of all Analysts’ Best Picks since inception is available upon request.
