“curing cabin Fever” for twenty-Six Years ONE-DAY MAYVILLE I.C.E. EVENT EVOLVES TO PRESIDENTS’ DAY WEEKEND WINTER FESTIVAL

march, 19 @ 6pm

By Patricia Pihl Managing Editor

With Contributions by Ann E. Weidman Dubbed the “southernmost ice structure in the United States,” Mayville’s first ice castle premiered on Feb. 21, 1987. Built entirely by volunteers, it measured 50 feet long and 25 feet high.

Illuminated by colored spotlights, the structure was cut from 750 blocks of ice from frozen Chautauqua Lake, with each block weighing between 400 and 500 pounds.

According to one founding member of the I.C.E. (Ice Castle Extravaganza), Ann Weidman, an estimated 25,000 people came to Mayville to see the “grand palace” that day and in the days that followed. It also caught the buzz of the local and Buffalo media, and pictures of the “castle” featured in The New York Times and in a newspaper as far away as New Zealand.

The castle was the brainchild of the late Donald J. Hogan, who was the 17-year director of then Chautauqua County Vacationlands Association (now Chautauqua County Visitors’ Bureau) who believed in extending the tourism season. His enthusiasm, Weidman writes, was not lost on the late Bob Martin, of the former Red Brick Farms, who had lived in St. Paul, Minn., where ice castles in winter were included in the lifestyle, and who

was eager to pitch in.

Today, Presidents’ Day Weekend Winter Festival (Feb. 15-17) is a three-day, activity-packed event involving local businesses at a variety of locations in Mayville and Chautauqua. Although centered at Lakeside Park and the Carlson Community Building, at least 13 events take place at nearby destinations.

Perennial favorites such as the giant snow slide, horse drawn sleigh rides, pony and snowmobile rides, and snowmobile flare parade are planned, as well as

the giant fireworks display on Saturday evening, said to be even larger this year.

According to Debby Marsala, Mayville/Chautauqua Chamber Coordinator, volunteers are also on stand-by to build the first ever snow castle, a suggestion offered by chamber president Kenneth Shearer, to counter unsuitable ice this year. “The town and village are dumping their snow at the park, as is Tops Market. This is something that you do the week before the festival, unlike the solid blocks of ice needed for an (ice castle).”

As spectacular as the ice version was (in 1996 it measured 20 feet high and 120 feet long), Marsala said she hopes the public sees the event as more of a winter festival.

“They saw that last year when it started to go up and then was stopped by the weather.”

With the shear number and diversity of activities, the event has something for all ages and interests, and has helped, as Weidman writes, to “cure cabin fever” since its first year in 1987. According to officials, the event attracts visicontinUeD on pG 7

EDUCATION SEMINAR AMONG THE INITIATIVES SPONSORED bY NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION

By Daniel Meyer Star News Writer

What started over a decade ago as a character initiative in one town has now grown into a thriving organization that serves all of Western New York in “creating a culture of character.”

As part of their ongoing efforts, the volunteers who make up the board of directors who oversee the Character Council of Western New York will host a seminar next month open to all educators, including teachers, support staff and administrators who live and/ or work in Chautauqua County.

It was the fall of 2000 when the Hamburg community launched a town-wide character initiative.

After 10 years of service, an expanded commitment to “creating a culture of character” took place as the entire Western New York region was invited to join in the organization’s mission.

“What we have championed and envisioned is a focus that emphasizes the most important attribute that has proven to bring success – personal character,” says Suzanne McKenney, president of the Character Council of Western New York. “It is our hope and vision that an emphasis on personal character results in self-motivation to make wise

decisions and always do the right thing.”

Scheduled to take place on Thursday, March 14, the Creating A Culture Of Character Education Seminar will be held at Michael’s Banquet Facility in the Town of Hamburg.

The event, set to run from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., will include a presentation by Dr. Tim Elmore, the founder and president of Growing Leaders, a non-profit organization created to develop emerging leaders.

The program that day will assist local schools with the implementation of character initiatives designed to foster a culture within each individual school community. Educators will learn the value of practical ways to employ a four-pronged approach that encourages character-excellence development. Speakers will share ideas on how to start a Character Club

in their school, how to introduce a character education-focus into their student’s curriculum and how to use character recognition programs to help boost the mo-

rale of students and carefully nurture a school-driven spirit for good character.

The effort to continue the expansion of the organization is ongoing, with McKenney openly welcoming anyone from Chautauqua County who wants to get involved.

“There are other programs we will be holding throughout the year and while we are encouraging educators to attend the seminar next month, we are always open to talking to other community members who want to learn more about the Character Coun-

cil of Western New York, why we exist and what we are all about,” says McKenney. “We ultimately want to help develop responsible citizens who can help make a difference and help transform our community. Anyone who has an interest in helping should contact us.”

For more information about the Creating A Culture Of Character Educator Seminar, interested attendees are asked to either visit www.charactercouncilwny.org or call McKenney at 716-202-0702. The fee to attend includes registration, educational materials, full-day training, lunch, refreshments and a certificate. Early bird registration discounts are available until March 1.

“If anyone from the Chautauqua area wants to learn more about what we do, I encourage them to call me or visit our website,” says McKenney. “We are always looking to grow and implement new ideas as we strive to reinstate universal community standards of respect, integrity and virtue.

Working together and championing this mission, we can encourage and praise everyone - both children and adults – to share our vision to build strong communities all over Western New York who embrace the concept of building stronger character.”

COMMENTARY, CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 purposes it might as well be home. Through work and play, I’ve gathered a mental ledger of its places and all the associated emotionswhether enjoying a summer afternoon on Chautauqua or Cassadaga Lakes, cross country skiing on a pineflanked portion of the overland trail, or driving white knuckled on its blustery roads during one of our less than balmy winters.

A few weeks ago while snowmobiling with my husband between Mayville and Westfield, we stopped to take in a picturesque scene on the Chautauqua Gorge near Little Chautauqua Creek. There was a 200 plus foot drop a few feet from the trail heading down to the bottom of the ravine. As we stopped, my husband pointed across the ridge to a large house that he said was once the lodge for a place called Eagle Ridge Ski Resort, which was opened in the 1970’s for a number of years.

He remembered enjoying skiing there and the large numbers of young people using the tow-rope to ascend its trails. At that point, the mental “light bulb” was turned on, as I thought about those long, snow covered horizontal paths we just passed – of course, they were old ski trails!

Eagle Ridge was suppos-

edly handicapped by being too close to Lake Erie with its warmer weather and lacked the necessary deep snow. Its history was also laced with tragedy as one of its principals was killed in an accident on its slopes. As I learned more, I also found out that the resort has links to a few well-known people in our county. The story of Eagle Ridge was getting richer with each turn.

The house we were now looking and its surrounding property had a wellkept secret, revealed just by chance. As we research this seemingly “lost” place of Chautauqua County, I hope to bring you the full story in the near future.

How about you? Have you learned of a “lost” place from your town’s past? Let me know about it and its secret may be revealed in a future story in our paper.

Chautauqua County Humane Society Pet of the Week

Pets of the Week

This week we are featuring “Snowy” and “Jim Bob”.

Snowy is a beautiful white cat with just a small touch of black on her head. She is just one-year-old and she has one blue eye and one green eye. She has been spayed and has all her vaccines. Snowy is very sweet and would be a great addition to any home. Jim Bob is a two-yearold Doberman Pinscher mix. He is ready for action and looking for fun. He has the energy to handle adventures all day. He would do best with a family that is active and can take him along for walks, hikes and other activities.

After a day of excitement he would like a warm place to be near his family and cuddle. If either of these pets sounds like the one for you, please stop by the Strunk Road Adoption Center and check them out. They are ready for a family for their very own.

RELIGION SECTION Keeping the Faith

Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church Fredonia www.fcfredonia.org

Dear Pastor, does God have a plan for my life? If so, how can I find it out?

We previously saw that the first step to receiving direct guidance from God was to ask God for wisdom ( James 1:5). The second step was to “tune in” to God’s voice by spending time in His presence (Acts 13:2). Today I want to address the next step to accessing God’s plan for your life…, “How does God speak to us?”

I have had many Christians report their confusion when it comes to hearing God’s voice. This happens mostly due to a lack of Biblical

knowledge. While God can speak to us in many ways, I’ll be sharing with you from the Bible, the major way that God shares His will.

Romans 8:16 states, “The (Holy) Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.” This scripture says that the Holy Spirit speaks to us through our spirit. Although this method is the primary way God speaks to us, it’s often neglected or ignored.

I think some Christians seek more “glamorous” experiences like visions or dreams or an “opinion poll” from others. God meant His guidance to be simple, direct, and easily available.

This witness mentioned previously is a “knowing” or “sense in our heart” for what to do. While greeting cards use the concept of “heart” to mean our emotions, the Biblical use of the word “heart” more accurately relates to our conscience. The inner witness, then, is the voice of our conscience. When God speaks to our heart, we don’t hear words, but we experience more of a “hunch”. For example, you “hear the voice” of conscience when you sin. Something in your heart tells you when you’ve done wrong. That same inner voice that “corrects” you, is the same voice that “directs” you if you’re open to

hear.

The Bible encourages us to follow our heart when it comes to making choices in life (Proverbs 3:5, 4:23).

Unfortunately, we tend to make our decisions using our head, or our emotions, without taking time to listen to our heart.

How can we prepare our heart to be more open to hearing from God? We can spend time in God’s presence through prayer and worship. This increases our sensitivity to His witness in our heart so that we can better tune in and hear what God’s saying!

The Weekly Word A Testimony of God’s Power Sharon became manic depressive as a teenager. Her parents were divorced when she was three years old and her mom later married a man that abused her. She recalls instances where she would be tied up like an animal and left on the floor for hours. In high school, Sharon’s grades plummeted and she began to drink alcohol heavily.

She became suicidal and her life spun out of control as her depressive state delivered her to several mental institutions. Institutional care for Sharon included cocktails Rev. Tim Stahlman of multiple psychotics and eventuFamily Church Jamestown ally electric shock therapy. thenewfamilychurch.com Electric shock therapy levied a heavy toll on Sharon’s life. After shock “treatments”, Sharon would lose major pieces of her memory.

She would forget her husband’s name; she wouldn’t remember

relatives and special memories.

Sharon would have to learn to drive a car all over again. After almost two-dozen of such treatments, Sharon was none the better and released with piles of potent medications that put her in a tranquilized state. Sharon described her days that included sitting in front of a space heater and staring at a blank wall for six to eight hours at a time. That is not an exaggeration.

A year ago, faithful members of our church brought Sharon to our services. Though I couldn’t tell, the preaching of the Word of God stirred her interest. After the second or third week she committed her life to Christ and went to our book table and purchased twenty CDs of past messages.

Sharon recalls that as she went back to her blank wall she placed

a stereo next to her and listened to those messages for 6 to 8 hours at a time. Each week Sharon became different. The lifeless stare was gone and she began to speak. She began attending our Wednesday night service where hands were laid on her in prayer. God’s Word and the Holy Spirit met Sharon dramatically.

As Sharon regularly visited her doctor, he noted a dramatic difference in her. He couldn’t explain the change. At that moment Sharon declared that Jesus Christ, the Healer of body and Restorer of mind, had touched her life. One by one, her doctor has removed the drugs until this day Sharon stands free. This past spring, Sharon was also told that the bones in her hip had literally died and that she would need a hip replacement.

Later that week Sharon received

prayer. Just days after, the doctors insisted that they read the X-rays incorrectly and that Sharon’s hip was completely fine.

To this day, God has blessed Sharon with a renewed mind, a wonderful marriage, a healed body, and a restored relationship with her parents. Years ago the family reconciled as Sharon’s mother and stepfather submitted their lives to Christ and today are faithful leaders in their church. If you were to visit a Family Church Sunday morning service, you would find Sharon always smiling, outgoing, and intently worshipping God. Her story is one of many that testify to the fact that the Holy Spirit is greater than the measure of wickedness that arrays itself against us. To God be the glory.

“The goal of knee replacement surgery is to decrease pain and restore function. Although total knee replacement is an excellent option for patients with osteoarthritis of the knee, other surgical options exist.

Patients with osteoarthritis that is limited to just one part of the knee may be candidates for unicompartmental knee replacement or partial knee replacement. There are a number of advantages of partial knee replacement when compared with total knee replacement which I will

HEALTH SECTION YMCA’s Focus On Health

By Scott Mekus YMCA Membership & Marketing Director

What’s The Proper Hydration for Exercise What and when athletes drink depends upon exercise duration and intensity.

Water is the most essential ingredient to a healthy life since it has many important functions in the body including transportation of nutrients, elimination of waste products, lubricating joints and tissues, temperature regulation through sweating, and facilitating digestion.

Importance of Water During Exercise Proper hydration is especially important during exercise. Adequate fluid intake for athletes is essential to comfort, performance and safety. The longer and more intensely you exercise, the more important it is to drink the right kind of fluids.

Dehydration Athletes need to stay hydrated for optimal performance. Studies have found that a loss of two or more percent of one’s body weight due to sweating is linked to a drop in blood volume. When this occurs,

the heart works harder to move blood through the bloodstream. This can also cause muscle cramps, dizziness and fatigue and even heat illness including heat exhaustion and heat stroke.

The causes of causes of dehydration include inadequate fluid intake, excessive sweating, failure to replace fluid losses during and after exercise, exercising in dry, hot weather, and drinking only when thirsty What about Sports Drinks?

Sports drinks can be helpful to athletes who are exercising at a high intensity for 60 minutes or more. Fluids

supplying 60 to 100 calories per eight ounces helps to supply the needed calories required for continuous performance. It’s really not necessary to replace losses of sodium, potassium and other electrolytes during exercise since you’re unlikely to deplete your body’s stores of these minerals during normal training. If, however, you find yourself exercising in extreme conditions over three or five hours (a marathon, Ironman or ultra marathon, for example) you may likely want to add a complex sports drink with electrolytes.

General Guidelines for Fluid Needs During Exercise While specific fluid recommendations aren’t possible due to individual variability, most athletes can use the following guidelines as a starting point, and modify their fluid needs accordingly.

Hydration Before Exercise: Drink about 15-20 fl oz, 2-3 hours before exercise and drink 8-10 fl oz 10-15 min before exercise Hydration During Exercise Drink 8-10 fl oz every 10-15 min during exercise;

if exercising longer than 90 minutes, drink 8-10 fl oz of a sports drink (with no more than 8 percent carbohydrate) every 15 - 30 minutes.

Hydration After Exercise Weigh yourself before and after exercise and replace fluid losses; drink 20-24 fl oz water for every 1 lb lost; consume a 4:1 ratio of carbohydrate to protein within the 2 hours after exercise to replenish glycogen stores.

Learn about American Kestrels at Audubon Contributed Article Audubon Center and Sanctuary

The Audubon Center and Sanctuary is offering an opportunity to learn about the behaviors and habits of our smallest bird of prey and how you can help this wonderful little bird to thrive.

On Sunday afternoon, Feb. 10, Warren County, Pennsylvania, native Don Watts will give a presentation on the American Kestrel.

From 1:30 to 3 p.m., you can learn about this beautiful bird, its habits, and how you can support the species.

If you have a large open field or meadow, you may be a perfect candidate to help the American Kestrel thrive in

our region. Ideal habitat for this bird is an “edge” habitat that provides a large open field for them to hunt, and the protection of a dead tree with a cavity for nesting.

Kestrels have readily accepted manmade nest boxes when natural tree cavities are not available.

Since a teenager, Watts has been an active outdoorsman, hunting in the Allegheny National Forest area. As a young adult he became more interested in birding activities and assumed the task of monitoring the American Kestrel Nest Box Trail in Warren County.

A sample of Watts’s other birding activities include: participant in the first Pennsylvania Breeding Bird Atlas; regional coordinator

The nationally accredited home health care agency, Willcare, will be on hand to discuss the common dangers associated with falls and how to prevent them in the home. They will also cover ways that physical therapy and occupational therapy can help an aging person with cognition and balance.

Katie Drummond, RN, director of nursing at the WCA Home, will discuss signs and symptoms associated with heart problems, and give some health tips on ways to ensure good

heart health. Also, she will give blood pressure screenings to all who are interested.

The WCA Home is a not-for-profit, non-denominational, assistedliving residence for senior women. In operation for over a century, the home is fully licensed by the New York State Department of Health. Part of its mission is to remain affordable to a diverse population. It houses up to 37 residents and has a full and parttime staff of 35. The home is located at its original historic Victorian-style residence at 134 Temple Street in Fredonia.

Located at 1600 Riverside Road, one-quarter mile east of Route 62 between Jamestown and Warren, the Audubon Center and Sanctuary has over five miles of beautifully maintained trails on a 600-acre wetland preserve. Its three-story building contains a nature store and a collection of live fish, reptiles, and amphibians. One of the most visited exhibits is Liberty, a non-releasable bald eagle.

A lasting business is built on friendships. The local people and tourists have been very supportive, and a pleasure to serve. I was fortunate to have guests from Russia, Australia, England, France and a surprise guest - Rue McClanahan (Golden Girls).

She was here and I was in New York City, so she left me a note, which is now framed. What fun! I love meeting people, and seeing them all leave with a smile. I will miss all this. Come and see me, and have a cup of tea. Our home will have the name Luweibdeh, however there will not be a shop. After almost 40 years, the shop is now at rest. May life be kind to all of you, and keep in touch.

Lake Erie Wine Trail, is a consortium of 23 wineries on a 50-mile stretch along the shore of Lake Erie between Harborcreek, PA and Silver Creek, NY. LEWC is a non-profit organization founded to “support and to market the wine and grape industries in Chautauqua County, New York and Erie County, Pennsylvania through the promotion of excellence in wine products, in winery and associate member facilities, and in the tourism experience in the region.”

Wine & Chocolate Weekend is the first event where all 23 wineries will be proudly displaying their new regional winery directional signs. Now, visitors to any winery will see an attractive sign that points the way to five other wineries.

“These signs really create a sense of cohesiveness among our member wineries,” says Julie Pfadt, executive director of Lake Erie Wine Country.

“They also show visitors to each winery just how close the wineries are to one another.”

Singing Valentines from chautauqua Shores chorus The Chautauqua Shores Chorus is now booking arrangements for those wanting to surprise their loved one with a singing Valentine.

The chorus will perform for your loved one at their home, workplace, or wherever you would like to surprise them on Thursday, Feb. 14. In addition to a few love songs, a small gift will also be presented.

The members will perform within Chautauqua and Warren counties. To set a time, and arrange compensation for services, please call Claudia Wittenbrook at 716-9628411. Please call ahead early.

In other news, The Chautauqua Shores Chorus was busy last month, as they kept their voices in tune with singing

engagements at several establishments. The chorus sang in Bemus Point at Our Lady of Lord’s Catholic Church and at the Hare -n-Hound restaurant.

In Jamestown, they sang at The Jackson Center, Heritage Green, Asprire, Washington Middle School, and Zion Covenant Church. In Warren, they sang at the Struthers Library Theater for the 2nd an-

nual CASA benefit Christmas concert. In addition to their sing-outs, the members of the chorus and their spouses had dinner at the Moose Lodge in Warren for their annual Christmas party.

The Chautauqua Shores practice every Monday night at 7 p.m. at the First Baptist Church on East Fifth Street in

Jamestown, NY. Any woman, from any age group who loves to sing, is invited to come to a practice. The chorus sings a cappella 4-part harmony, barbershop-style music which includes gospel, patriotic, seasonal numbers, up tunes, etc. There is no requirement to read music as learning media is available. We hope to see you there!

Why Reboot?

By Philip Bens Technology Coordinator, Cassadaga Valley Central School

As someone who plays a technical support role, one of the first questions I ask a desperate computer user is, “have you tried restarting your computer?” The responses range from eye rolls to, “I have tried it several times.” Yet I would estimate that this solution works a large majority of the time.

Many people have asked me why the “rebooting” technique works. Some people feel that it is a band aid approach to fixing a problem and that the problem will eventually reoccur.

Others simply want to understand the root cause of this occurrence so that they do not repeat the action that created the problem.

I believe that the restarting of a computing device solves problems for several reasons. The classic reason to restart is that the computer may have a memory conflict. Different parts of a computer are programmed to utilize certain parts of computer memory. At times, these parts may be competing for the same resources rather than living in harmony. Restarting a

computer essentially tells these computer components to “take a timeout” and it allows for the system to start fresh.

Another classic reason is a memory leak. Basically a computer operating system or a computer program requires memory to run.

When the software is done running its assigned tasks, the software should technically free the memory up to be used for other programs to use. For various reasons, the memory may not be released and will continue to be occupied by the software.

Over an extended period of time the amount of available memory is diminished to the point where applications and the operating system run very slow.

Restarting a computing device usually brings immediate relief to these problems. Sometimes the problems are not resolved and that is when hardware may need to be replaced or the operating system should be scanned for malware or a virus. But whenever one has a problem I think it is always good to start with a reboot!

Star Printed Graphix

By Patricia Pihl Managing Editor

It’s tagline “Your one stop shop for all your promotional apparel,” touts its most popular service, but Star Printed Graphix provides much more – creating unique designs for a variety of products while serving both large and small customers alike.

Whether it’s corporate branding, team apparel, indoor or outdoor banners, yard signs or posters, Star Printed Graphix has done it. In business since 2006, production and sign manager Dennis Johnson sums it up by simply saying, “there are so many applications to what we do.”

In fact, the company will take anything that can be imprinted on - whether clothing, mugs, computer, desk or office items - and place a logo, name or message on it.

For its popular screenprinting and embroidery,

the company boasts a long list of area high schools and athletic teams as well as SUNY Fredonia among its customers.

Star Printed Graphix has also created logos as part of branding for its customers.

Johnson says they can cre-

ate designs for customers that may want an embroidered or silkscreen image on their shirts or other apparel.

“It has happened a few times where a customer will purchase one item, let’s say a shirt with a logo we’ve

Michael Pucci of Pucci’s Furniture and Bedding in Fredonia has used Star Printed Graphix for its signage, saying it has increased visibility and foot traffic to its store. “The (picture) we have in our window shows two girls on a sofa… it gives a feel or mood for buying furniture, which we thought was important and draws people to our building. The signs stand out and are very visible downtown.”

If anyone should need an additional reason to use its services, office manager Jessica Bens says the company’s competitive pricing should seal the deal. In addition, team member Glenna Pastor brings 23

years of experience in embroidery to Star Printed Graphix.

Its staff takes a great deal of satisfaction in its work as well. “It’s a good feeling when a job is done right and the customer is happy,” Bens adds.

Johnson shares a similar satisfaction when he sees his work on display in the community. Once he said he was at a car show in Syracuse when he saw a person wearing a tee- shirt he designed for a local business. When that happens, he will often walk up to the wearer to let them know he’s designed the shirt.

He adds, “When you break it down, I sit at my desk and design things all day, my work is fun.” The entire staff works as a team, he says and enjoys working together.

Star Printed Graphix is a division of Star Media Group and is located at 4867 W. Lake Rd., Suite 1 Dunkirk, NY. For more information, visit starprintedgraphix.com or call 679-7788.

designed, and then come back and say, ‘we love your logo, let’s use it for everything.’ ” Charity events and fundraisers are still another reason groups come to Star Printed Graphix, especially for events such as golf tournaments.

is it Baseball Season Yet?

By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

The National Football League season officially ended Sunday with a Super Bowl filled with intriguing storylines, drama and controversy.

The National Basketball Association is always entertaining and I hear the National Hockey League also exists. But as much as I love basketball and as hard as I am trying to appreciate hockey, there’s only one thing on my mind after Super Bowl Sunday — baseball.

Sure, snow is still on the ground, my mitt is tucked safely away in the garage and we’re a March Madness run away from the Major League Baseball regular season, but in the mind of a baseball fanatic such as myself, we’re in baseball season.

in the season when they mustered just a 25 percent shooting night.

The boys team lost to Brocton just two weeks ago when Emory’s young squad lost their composure to a senior-laden Bulldog team.

Plus there’s one thing that both teams lack — size.

“We’re not big,” Swanson was quick to point out. “When we play Ellicottville, they have three 6-foot girls.

We don’t really have an answer for someone that’s tall and good. On a bad shooting night, that can show up a lot more. You’re not getting many offensive rebounds and putback opportunities.”

“We definitely lack size,” Emory agreed. “That’s put a lot of pressure on us this season. We’d rather get the game into an opencourt game instead of the halfcourt grind-it-out style.”

Ravens Edge 49ers In Electric Super Bowl

By Barry Wilner AP Pro Football Writer

For a Super Bowl with so many story lines, this game came up with quite a twist.

Try a blackout that turned a blowout into a shootout - capped by a brilliant defensive stand.

The first time this season Ottawa Senators goalie Craig Anderson allowed more than two goals in a game his teammates bailed him out.

Chris Neil scored what turned out to be the game-winning goal in the second period and Anderson made 20 saves as Ottawa hung on for a 4-3 victory against the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday night.

Erik Karlsson, Chris Phillips and Daniel Alfredsson scored for Ottawa, and Peter Regin picked up his first points of the season with two assists.

The win snapped a two-game Senators' losing streak.

34-minute delay doesn’t hinder the ravens from the win continued from pg 1 -Flacco's emergence as a top-level quarterback, and his impending free agency.

-Colin Kaepernick's rapid rise in the last two months as 49ers QB. -The big game's return to the Big Easy for the first time in 11 years, and the first time since Hurricane Katrina ravaged the city in 2005.

-Lewis' self-proclaimed ''last ride.''

But when the Superdome lost power, well, that wasn't in anyone's scenario.

Flacco and the Ravens (14-6) were turning the game into a rout, leading 28-6 when, without even a flicker of warning, several banks of lights and the scoreboards went dark.

Players from both sides stretched and chatted with each other in as bizarre a scene as any Super Bowl has witnessed. ''The bad part was we started talking about it,'' said safety Ed Reed, who had the game's only interception. ''That was mentioned.

It was like they were trying to kill our momentum.''

After power was restored, the 49ers began playing lights out.

San Francisco (13-5-1), in search of its sixth Lombardi Trophy in as many tries, got back in the game almost immediately.

Michael Crabtree's 31yard touchdown reception, on which he broke two tackles, made it 28-13. A few minutes later, Frank Gore's 6-yard run followed a 32-yard punt return by Ted Ginn Jr., and the 49ers were within eight.

Ray Rice's fumble at his 24 led to David Akers' 34-yard field goal, but Baltimore woke up for a long drive leading to rookie Justin Tucker's 19-yard field goal.

San Francisco wasn't done challenging, though, and Kaepernick's 15-yard TD run, the longest for a quarterback in a Super Bowl, made it 31-29. A 2-point conversion pass failed when the Ravens blitzed.

Tucker added a 38-yarder with 4:19 remaining, setting up the frantic finish.

Kaepernick couldn't get the 49ers into the end zone on the final three plays. The last was a pass into the right corner of the end zone to Crabtree that involved some incidental bumping. Jim Harbaugh insisted a flag should have been thrown. ''There's no question in my mind that there was a pass interference and then a hold,'' Jim Harbaugh said.

Ravens punter Sam Koch took a safety for the final score with 4 seconds left.

Koch's free kick was returned by Ginn to midfield as time ran out. ''How could it be any other way? It's never pretty. It's never perfect. But it's us,'' John Harbaugh said of his Ravens. ''It was us today.''

Barely. ''Yeah, I think that last drive when we got the ball and had time to go down and score a touchdown,'' Kaepernick said, ''we thought it was our game.''

But the championship is Baltimore's.

As for the foul-up at America's biggest sporting event, officials revealed that an ''abnormality'' in the power system triggered an automatic shutdown, forcing backup systems to kick in.

But no one was sure what caused the initial problem.

Everything changed after that until Lewis and Co. shut it down. But there were plenty of white-knuckle moments and the Ravens

had to make four stops inside their 7 at the end. ''I think it speaks to our resolve, speaks to our determination, speaks to our mental toughness,'' John Harbaugh said. ''That is what wins and loses games.''

At 4 hours, 14 minutes, it was the longest Super Bowl ever.

Flacco's arrival as a championship quarterback - he had 11 postseason TD passes, tying a league mark, and no interceptions - coincides with Lewis' retirement. The win capped a sensational four games since Lewis announced he was leaving the game after 17 Hall of Famecaliber years.

The Ravens will become Flacco's team now, provided he reaches agreement on a new contract.

Flacco's three TD passes in the opening half tied a Super Bowl record. They covered 13 yards to Anquan Boldin, 1 to Dennis Pitta and 56 to Jones.

That start boosted him to the MVP award. ''They have to give it to one guy and I'm not going to complain that I got it,'' Flacco said.

John Harbaugh had no

complaints about getting that other trophy named after that Green Bay coach.

But he struggled to balance it with the disappointment his brother was feeling. ''The meeting with Jim in the middle (of the field for the postgame handshake) was probably the most difficult thing I have ever been associated with in my life,'' the Ravens coach said.

The wild scoring made this the second championship in the NFL's 80-year title game history in which both teams scored at least 30 points. Pittsburgh's 35-31 win over Dallas in 1979 was the other.

The Ravens stumbled into the playoffs with four defeats in its last five regularseason games as Lewis recovered from a torn right triceps and Flacco struggled. Harbaugh even fired his offensive coordinator in December, a stunning move with the postseason so close.

But that - and every other move Harbaugh, Flacco and the Ravens made since - were right on target.

New Orleans native Jones, one of the stars in a doubleovertime playoff win at Denver, seemed to put the

game away with his record 108-yard sprint with the second-half kickoff.

Soon after, the lights went out - and when they came back on, the Ravens were almost powerless to slow the 49ers.

Until the final moments. ''The final series of Ray Lewis' career was a goalline stand,'' Harbaugh said.

Lewis was sprawled on all fours, face-down on the turf, after the end zone incompletion. ''It's no greater way, as a champ, to go out on your last ride with the men that I went out with, with my teammates,'' Lewis said. ''And you looked around this stadium and Baltimore! Baltimore! We coming home, baby! We did it!''

Jim Harbaugh, the coach who turned around the Niners in the last two years and brought them to their first Super Bowl in 18 years, had seen his team make a similarly stunning comeback in the NFC championship at Atlanta, but couldn't finish it off against Baltimore. ''Our guys battled back to get back in,'' the 49ers coach said. ''I thought we battled right to the brink of winning.''

The 49ers couldn't have been sloppier in the first half, damaging their chances with penalties including one on their first play that negated a 20-yard gain - poor tackling and turnovers. Rookie LaMichael James fumbled at the Baltimore 25 to ruin an impressive drive, and the Ravens converted that with Flacco's 1-yard pass to Pitta for a 14-3 lead.

On San Francisco's next offensive play, Kaepernick threw behind Randy Moss and always depend-

able Reed picked it off. A huge scuffle followed that brought both Harbaughs onto the field and saw both sides penalized 15 yards for unnecessary roughness.

Reed, also a New Orleans native, tied the NFL record for postseason picks with his ninth.

Baltimore didn't pounce on that mistake for points.

Instead, Tucker's fake field goal run on fourth-and-9 came up a yard short when Chris Culliver slammed him out of bounds.

The Ravens simply shrugged, forced a threeand-out, and then unleashed Jones deep. Just as he did to Denver, he flashed past the secondary and caught Flacco's fling. He had to wait for the ball, fell to the ground to grab it, but was untouched by a Niner. Up he sprang, cutting left and using his speed to outrun two defenders to the end zone.

Desperate for some points, the 49ers completed four passes and got a 15-yard roughing penalty against Haloti Ngata, who later left with a knee injury. But again they couldn't cross the goal line, Paul Kruger got his second sack of the half on third down, forcing a second field goal by Akers, from 27 yards.

When Jones began the second half by sprinting up the middle virtually untouched - he is the second player with two TDs of 50 yards or more in a Super Bowl, tying Washington's Ricky Sanders in 1988 the rout was on.

Then it wasn't. ''Everybody had their hand on this game,'' 49ers All-Pro linebacker Patrick Willis said. ''We point the fingers at nobody. We win together and we lose together, and today we lost it.''

latE ComEBaCk ISn’t EnouGh foR SaBRES ContInuEd fRom pG 1 ''It was a great effort by everybody and everyone was chipping in and doing their job and they got rewarded for it,'' Anderson said after collecting his league-tying sixth victory in his ninth game of the season. ''Overall I think this could have been a 4-1 game but it was unfortunate that Buffalo got some lucky bounces and they ended up in the back of the net.''

Tyler Ennis, Jordan Leopold and Jason Pominville scored for Buffalo. Jhonas Enroth made the start in place of Ryan Miller and is still searching for his first win in more than a calendar year. He finished with 20 saves for the Sabres, who have dropped three straight. ''We need better goaltending. There's no secret to that,'' Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said following his team's third straight loss and seventh in their past eight games. ''I think (Enroth) will admit that he has to have a couple of those. Now you have to look to bounce back. I tried to let him bounce back in the game and I thought the team answered the bell. ''Right now we've got to worry about winning a game, whatever that takes.''

Buffalo's Thomas Vanek leads the NHL in scoring with 19 points but he was

shot eluded Enroth.

The lead was very short lived though, as Ennis collected a rebound and put a backhand off the far post and in behind Anderson just 21 seconds later.

But Phillips and Alfredsson scored a little more than three minutes apart later in the period to put the home side up 3-1. Phillips took a point shot that dribbled across the goal line after Enroth got a piece of it.

Alfredsson then took a snapshot from the slot off a feed from Mika Zibanejad that beat Enroth cleanly.

nHL power rankings (through feb. 6)

By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

These rankings are the opinions of a panel of two. Don’t agree with our rankings? Send us your thoughts at stefan.gestwicki@starmediagroup.com.

1) Chicago Blackhawks 8-0-2 Until they prove otherwise, the Blackhawks are the clearcut favorite for the top spot.

2) San Jose Sharks 7-2-1 Certainly no shame in losing to Chicago. Still worthy of the No. 2 spot.

3) Boston Bruins 6-1-1 The Bruins are far and away the best at faceoffs, winning a league-high 59.4%.

4) Pittsburgh Penguins 7-3-1 Power play has heated up and they lead the league with six road wins already.

5) Anaheim Ducks 6-1-1 Teemu Selanne has rejuvenated this team Ray-Lewis style.

6) St. Louis Blues 6-3-0 An ugly loss to Nashville on Tuesday, but still one of the deeper teams in the league.

7) Vancouver Canucks 5-2-2 Simple math: 2 Sedins + 2 solid goalies = lots of wins.

8) Montreal Canadians 6-2-0 Fell into third in the Northeast, but have two games in hand over Ottawa.

9) Ottawa Senators 6-3-1 Craig Anderson leads the league in most key goaltending categories.

10) New Jersey Devils 5-1-3 Somehow this team only has one regulation loss despite a goal differential of just +3.

11) Tampa Bay Lightening 6-3-0 Stamkos is amazing, but a loss to the injury-riddled Flyers isn’t a good thing.

12) Edmonton Oilers 4-3-2 All those early draft picks are finally starting to deliver on the ice.

13) Nashville Predators 4-2-3 Convincing win in St. Louis put the Predators just one point behind Blues.

14) Detroit Red Wings 4-4-1 How do you lose 6-1 at home to Calgary? Expect changes in the Motor City.

15) Minnesota Wild 4-4-1 The Wild have earned eight of a possible 10 points at home. That’s what good teams do.

16) Carolina Hurricanes 4-4-0 New addition Jordan Staal has eight points in eight games.

17) New York Rangers 4-5-0 Despite big names on the roster, the Rangers are tied for fewest goals with 20.

18) Winnipeg Jets 4-4-1 A 3-1 home record is keeping them afloat despite a -7 goal differential.

19) Dallas Stars 4-5-1 40-year old (41 next month) Jaromir Jagr has been a nice addition.

20) Toronto Maple Leafs 5-5-0 Phil Kessel leads the league with 40 shots on goal and has a total of zero goals. Ouch.

21) Phoenix Coyotes 4-4-2 Winless on the road is not a formula that often results in playoffs.

22) New York Islanders 4-4-1 Loss to Pittsburgh proved this young squad isn’t quite ready for the next step.

23) Philadelphia Flyers 4-6-0 A short season doesn’t allow much time for plethora of injured players to come back.

24) Colorado Avalanche 4-5-0 Colorado simply has to start scoring more goals if it wants to think about playoffs.

25) Los Angeles Kings 3-3-2 Reigning champs have bounced back from a slow start, but still plenty of work to do.

26) Buffalo Sabres 3-6-1 How can one player (Vanek) be so good and everyone else be so, so bad?

27) Calgary Flames 2-3-2 Went into Detroit and proved maybe they aren’t the worst team in the league after all.

28) Florida Panthers 3-5-1 More simple math: Few goals scored + many goals allowed = plenty of losses.

29) Columbus Blue Jackets 3-6-1 Most years this team would be the consensus No. 30, but…

30) Washington Capitals 2-7-1 Remember when this team scared everyone in the league with its potent offense?
