Cinnamon
This week we are featuring “Blue” and “Cinnamon.” Blue is a four-year-old Quarter horse gelding. He is a good boy that needs some training. Cinnamon is a two-year-old Standardbred. She is not broke and really needs someone experienced. These horses came to us from a cruelty case and have been in foster care to get healthy. They are extremely bonded, and we would like to see them go together. Their hooves had grown very long, but with trims every six weeks they are doing much better. This will need to continue for a few more months. If you are interested in these two beauties, please contact the Adoption Center at 2825 Strunk Road, Jamestown. You can call (716) 665-2209 ext. 0 with questions or for more information. Let’s give these wonderful animals the 2nd chance they deserve.

EVERYONE HAS A VALENTiNE, COOkiES N’ CREAM TRuffLES By Katy Wise Star Contributing Writer
Every year at Valentine’s Day, our country is divided into two groups of people. Those who celebrate this ‘Hallmark Holiday’ and those who want nothing to do with it. I have witnessed many people state that they are sick of not having a Valentine on Valentine’s Day and get depressed about not having one. The word, valentine, is defined as someone who you love or give a Valentine’s Day card to. Society has built this up to mean that it has to be someone that you love in a romantic fashion, but it doesn’t have to be that way at all. Every person has someone that they care for. Everybody has a Valentine. A best friend, a grandparent, coworker, parent, child, even a pet! It doesn’t matter who that person is, if you love them, then that person can be your Valentine! I understand the argument that people make about this just being a scam for card shops to make more money, and that we need to make people feel special all year round instead of on just one
day of the year (I stated how I felt about Thanksgiving back in November.) But what is wrong with making your loved ones feel extra special on a day like Valentine’s Day? We celebrate birthdays, don’t we? I think most people would agree that we should appreciate people on every day of the year and not just on the anniversary of their birth, so why is it that people hold such disdain for this February holiday? The truth is, I have absolutely no idea. Let me apologize if you thought that I was going to tell you why some people are grumpy. I really don’t know why some don’t like it. I can speculate and come up with some theories but instead of focusing on the problems of others, what if we just endeavored to not let the Negative Nancys and Debbie Downers bring us down. Another apology if your name is Debbie or Nancy, nothing personal. Find someone that you love, and make that person your Valentine this year. It doesn’t have to be expensive either! There are plenty of ways to
show someone you love and appreciate them, and here are some ideas (varying in price range) to show your affection. • Make something. Get crafty and handcraft a paper valentine for someone. Don’t be overwhelmed by the idea of what to write on it, a simple ‘Happy Valentine’s Day, I love you!’ or ‘Happy Valentine’s Day, just wanted to say that I appreciate you!’ is plenty to make someone smile. • Bake it with love. My personal favorite to show someone I care is to make them some cookies or another baked good. After all, the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, isn’t it? Well I can testify, that it is also the way to my heart and I am certainly not a male. If you aren’t great at baking or simply don’t have time, something store bought is great too! • Food! I realize that idea number two already mentioned food, but if sweets aren’t your thing, a home-cooked meal is just as wonderful. Maybe a favorite dish that hasn’t been made in awhile, or even a dinner out for the mom who usually prepares food for
product looks as though you spent hours of time. First step - crush all the Oreo cookies. There are several ways to do this, but the easiest way that I’ve found has been to put the cookies in a gallon size Ziploc back, and crush them with a rolling pin. Once cookies are crushed, combine with softened cream cheese in stand mixer, or with large mixing bowl and hand mixer. Roll cookie mixture into small balls, and lay on a plate. Depending on how sturdy your mixture is, you may be able to cover in chocolate right away. If your mixture seems a little too soft, stick in the freezer for about 30 minutes to an hour after shaping the mixture and placing on a plate. Melt chocolate, and either roll, dip or drizzle the trufes in the melted chocolate. Cookies N’ Cream Truffles flAllow chocolate to harden. • 1 pkg. Oreo cookies, crushed That’s it, you’re done! If • 1 block (8 oz.) cream desired, you can also drizzle cheese, softened a different color of choco• bag of candy melts, or late, such as colored white baker’s chocolate chocolate on the truffles for decoration. This is one of the easiest homemade recipes that I Thanks for reading, and have ever made, but the Happy Valentine’s Day!
everyone else. • Quality time. Taking some time out of your busy schedule to watch a movie or just sit and visit with a loved one is a great way to show how much you care! Taking some time to decorate some homemade valentines or make heart shaped cookies with your little ones or maybe a niece or nephew gets two things accomplished at once. You have made memories with them, and you can create gifts for other loved ones at the same time! I hope that these ideas are of some help to you! As mentioned above, a great way to show your love to someone is buy making something homemade. Below, you will find something you can make in your own home, at a homemade price, but with candy shop results.

Konig will deliver two presentations during the
seminar. Konig has ten years of experience as a Genealogy Librarian and has been researching her own family history for 15 years. She currently works at the Buffalo and Erie County Public Library and serves as the Genealogy Librarian in the Grosvenor Room, which is the Special Collections Department at the Central Library in Buffalo. She also serves on the Executive Board of the Western New York Genealogical Society and has a part-time genealogy research business. Carlson has served as the collections manager at the Fenton History Center in Jamestown since 1995. During
that time, he’s assisted a countless number of people in their quest to find information about past residents. He is also president of the Busti Historical Society and is actively involved with the Chautauqua County Genealogical and Chautauqua County Historical Societies, the Harmony Historical Society and Sons of the American Revolution. “We think there is a real interest in the area for people who want to do family research, but most people are not aware of the breadth of resources available to them” Sedlmayer says. “This seminar will cover major free family history websites and library databases that are available for geneal-
ogy research. We think it will be extremely useful for both the novice researchers, as well as those who’ve been doing it for a while but may have reached a dead end with their current research strategies.” The daylong event will be run from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Clarion Hotel in Dunkirk, NY on April 26 and will include morning refreshments and a lunch buffet. The cost is $25 per person and seating is limited. Reservations are requested by April 1.

She pointed out that they are interested in all kinds of stories. The goal is to record what the steamboats meant to the people who lived with them.

Ms. Baldwin aded “We are so lucky to have talented volunteers like David to help us out with the interviews and technical aspects of the video-taping.

The Chautauqua County Humane Society has announced that the ninth annual Pennies 4 Paws campaign will begin this month. This year’s campaign benefits all of the animal rehabilitation services available at the shelter and will strengthen the CCHS adoption process throughout the community. Pennies 4 Paws began on February 12 and runs through the end of April. Various collection drives and fundraising events will take place throughout the county during that time. “All of the animals that enter our facility are in need of something. It could be a home; it could be some food; it could be a life-saving surgery; but one thing is certain, they all deserve a second chance,” said Edwin Rodriguez Jr., Community Relations Director for CCHS. “These services can be costly and we know that we cannot ask these animals for a penny. This is why we ask our community to help us collect the pennies and their support enables us to continue our work,” said Rodriguez. CCHS has seen a growing number of special needs cases where medication, surgery or training has been required to save a pets life. Over the past de-
cade, however, a strong focus on spay/neuter and adoption services has allowed the shelter to concentrate on the rehabilitation needs of each animal. Today, CCHS has a 97% save rate with animal outcomes compared to a mere 50% just a decade ago. This turnaround was partially thanks to funding from Pennies 4 Paws and other fundraising initiatives. The Pennies 4 Paws program follows the slogan that “every penny counts.” CCHS hopes to collect 17 million pennies, or $17,000, by April of this year. Sponsored by Media One Group, the Pennies 4 Paws campaign provides flexibility for schools, social organizations and businesses to fundraise in a variety of ways. Although pennies are the most common donation, any type of monetary contribution and fundraising during this time can help. Contributions are traditionally made through bake sales, school Hat Days, pop bottle/can drives and other special
events. Collection containers are available through CCHS if they are needed by any fundraising group. “If there are any businesses or organizations that would like to fundraise but do not know where to start, we have plenty of ideas to get them going,” said Rodriguez. Aside from being one of the shelter’s flagship fundraisers, the Pennies 4 Paws campaign is a great team building event for groups needing to fulfi ll a community service requirement. For more information on the Chautauqua County Humane Society or to sign up to host a Pennies 4 Paws container, visit www. spcapets.com or call 716-665-2209 ext. 213. The mission of the Chautauqua County Humane Society is to promote the adoption of animals, prevent all forms of animal cruelty and neglect, shelter lost, abandoned and homeless animals, and to provide education about the humane treatment of animals.

opera House to Present A.r. Gurney’s Love Letters
Contributed Article acclaimed, one-man 1891 Fredonia Opera House
The 1891 Fredonia Opera House will present A.R. Gurney’s most frequently performed play, Love Letters, on Sat., Feb. 15, at 7:30 p.m., just in time for Valentine’s Day. The production stars Mike Randall and Christina Rausa and is directed by Paul Mockovak. Randall and Rausa play Andy and Melissa, two childhood friends born to wealth and position, whose lifelong correspondence begins with birthday party thank you notes and summer camp postcards. Romantically attached, they continue to exchange letters throughout boarding school and college years, as well as each other’s separate marriages and careers. Andy’s last letter, written to Melissa’s mother, makes it eloquently clear how much they really meant, and gave to, each other over the course of their 50-year relationship – physically apart, perhaps, but spiritually as close as only true lovers can be. Director Mockovak mounts this production as a staged reading, a format intended by the playwright. Randall has performed a variety of roles in theatres across the country; and he continues to present his critically
portrayal of American author Mark Twain in Mark Twain Live! He has made more than 2,000 appearances as the great American humorist and appears annually at the “Huck Finn Jubilee” in California as the festival’s “official Mark Twain.” In 2007, he launched his solo presentation Charles Dickens Presents: A Christmas Carol, which he performs annually throughout western NY. Randall is known to local audiences primarily for his daytime job as senior meteorologist for WKBW-TV and as an award-winning feature reporter. He attended Onondaga Community College for radio and TV and SUNY Geneseo for theatre arts. He received his certificate in Broadcast Meteorology from Mississippi State University and has earned both the American Meteorological Society and National Weather Association Seals of Approval. He remains the only local TV meteorologist to hold both seals. A professional actress for more than 30 years, Rausa has worked regionally and toured extensively throughout New York state and in Ohio and Pennsylvania. A twotime recipient of Buffalo’s prestigious stage award “The Artie,” for her portrayal of
Emily Dickinson in William Luce’s The Belle of Amherst and for ensemble work in Ronald Harwood’s The Dresser, she also was an Artie nominee for her work in Educating Rita by Willy Russell. Rausa is the recipient of the Ann Burnstein Award for service to the community through radio and drama. In 2009, she received rave reviews for her portrayal of Golda Meir, Israel’s “Iron Lady,” in Golda’s Balcony at Buffalo’s Jewish Community Center. Most recently, she was praised for her turn as Maria Callas in Master Class at Musicalfare. An adjunct instructor in the DeThe 1891 Fredonia Opera House will present A.R.

Mockovak’s diverse background in Musical Theatre, Concert Dance, Theatre Arts and Music serves him well as a stage director and choreographer as well as in the acting and dance studio/ classrooms at SUNY Fredonia where he is a professor in the Department of Theatre and Dance. With an M.F.A. in Musical Theatre from the University of Miami, he has stage direction and choreography credits ranging from musicals to
Shakespeare seen from summer stock to off-Broadway and from the East Coast to the Rockies in venues including regional and educational theatre, concert dance, opera and video. As a dancer he trained at the Martha Graham School, Lynn Simonson’s Dance Space and has performed with Ballet Randolph, Dance Miami and the Miami Opera. He has served as Movement Instructor for the Santa Fe Opera, as guest artist in residency at the Vienna Ballet Konservatorium and Musical Theatre specialist for Russian acting students from the Moscow Art School Studio. Tickets for Love Letters are $15 ($13 for Opera House members, $10 students) and may be purchased in person at the Opera House Box Office or by phone at 716-6791891, Tuesday-Friday, 1-5 p.m. Tickets may be purchased online anytime at www.fredopera.org. The performance is presented with support from the United Arts Appeal of Chautauqua County.

united Arts Appeal Fundrasier
Contributed Article United Arts Appeal
For more than 25 years, the United Arts Appeal of Chautauqua County (UAA) has supported arts organizations that present nearly 2,000 concerts, performances, classes and exhibits each year. At their most recent meeting, United Arts Appeal of Chautauqua County board members sent out their annual fund raising letter, primarily to businesses, asking for support for UAA members and the smaller groups and independent artists that receive UAA funding. “The arts have such a positive economic impact on our community that many businesses as well as individuals are happy to support the United Arts Appeal,” said President Rick Davis. “In return, we give them significant recognition for their support.” Davis said the letters included an invitation to Kaleidoscope, a sampling of the offerings of the eight UAA member organizations that will be presented at 2 p.m. on March 2 in Jamestown and March 9 in Fredonia. “We first presented Kaleidoscope two years ago to give the entire community the opportunity to see the great arts programming in Chautauqua County,” Davis noted. “Both Sunday afternoons will feature folk music, singer/songwriters, ballet, theater, chamber players and

Admission for either event is just $10. Tickets for Sunday, March 2, in Jamestown can be purchased at the Lucille Ball Little Theatre and by calling (716) 4831095. Tickets for Sunday, March 9, in Fredonia can be purchased at the 1891 Fredonia Opera House or reserved by calling (716) 679-1891. Tickets will also be available at the door. Contributions to the United Arts Appeal are tax deductible, and contributors are offered a range of benefits for their generosity, including free admissions to selected performances and recognition in printed programs and on the UAA’s website. Details are on the Support UAA page at UnitedArtsAppeal.org. Businesses and indi-
vidual that would like to support the arts in Chautauqua County are invited to send their contributions to the United Arts Appeal, 715 Falconer Street, Jamestown, NY 14701. Responses received by February 21 will receive a pair of tickets to Kaleidoscope. In 2013 the United Arts Appeal received major support from Chautauqua County, the Jessie Smith Darrah Fund, and the Hultquist Foundation. Lynn Development Group, LLC was a Benefactor for the 2013 Fund Drive. Patrons were Lyndon and Melanie Gritters, the Holmberg Foundation, and Matric Limited. Special Gifts were received from M.L.

“Intimate Journey: From the Tambopata to the Highlands of Peru,” a program featuring a series of photographs made last fall by Deb Lanni, will be presented on February 20 at Jamestown Community College’s Jamestown Campus. The program, free and open to the public, begins at 6:30 p.m. in the Weeks Gallery, located on the second floor of the Arts and

money saving wedding Favors
By Katy Wise Contributing Writer
Every bride’s dream is to have the wedding she has envisioned since she was a little girl. The only problem with this is that most five year old little girls have no idea exactly how much a horse drawn carriage or limo really costs. Discovering the truth of how much things actually cost is one of the sad realities that welcomes us all into adulthood. You hear people tell you all of your life that you’ll understand when your older, and then when you are fi nally older, you do begin to understand, but it comes with somewhat of a shock. Weddings can be one of the biggest sticker hocks that you will experience as an adult. Thankfully, there are many ways to cut back on wedding costs while still planning a day that you will cherish for the rest of your life. If you are getting married during this upcoming 2014 wedding season, then hopefully you are already armed for your upcoming wedding planning battles with a budget in hand, and a basic idea of what colors and/or theme you would like for your special day. Don’t let that last statement overwhelm you; weddings are nothing to be nervous about. It might feel like a battle when you fi nd yourself knee deep in invitation samples and color swatches, but soon the impending anxiety of wedding planning will be long gone and you will be a happy newlywed.
One of the simplest ways to trim your budget, is by choosing inexpensive favors. Below are a couple of inexpensive ideas that may be the perfect fit for your wedding. • Cookies. If you or any of your family and friends are crafty, this
could be a huge money saver for you. Making something such as intricately decorated cookies that coordinate with your wedding is not only personal, but it can be incredibly budget friendly. I recently made cookies as a favor

for a family member’s wedding, and the total cost was between $5-$10 for over 50 cookies. Each cookie was decorated a little differently, and then wrapped in a clear plastic favor bag. These favor bags can be found at a dollar store or party stores, like The Paper Factory for about $1-$5. Can’t fi nd exactly what you want? Consider asking a manager if there are any other styles that they could special order for you! One of the best things about this favor is that it can be made in advance. Once the cookies are made, get together a team of family and friends who can help you gently place the cookies into favor bags and then put them in the freezer until the big day. • Holiday Candy. This idea might sound ridiculous, but if your wedding colors consist of pink, red, green, or pastel colors such as yellow, blue and lavender then you may be in luck. Immediately following holidays such as Valentine’s Day, Easter, and even St. Patrick’s Day, you can fi nd candy for up to 75% off. Check around before these holidays at local drug stores and supermarkets for candy that matches your wedding. For example, if your colors consist of red or pink, head to all the stores that sold Valentine’s Day candy on February 15 and snatch anything up that will coordinate with your wedding. Hershey’s kisses come in a variety of colors, and can later be put into favor bags or boxes to be given out as favors. Thank you for reading, and stay tuned for more favor ideas next week!

It is not arrogant to remind God of His promises. Jesus told us that one of the Holy Spirit's duties is to put us in remembrance of all the promises the God has given to us ( John 14:26). When you are standing on a scripture you are actually taking a faith stand. When we talk about faith, we are talking about choosing to believe what God says in His Word. When we ask God for something using His Own words, we need to believe that God will answer our prayers. Why must we believe? Because God tells us to! Jesus says in Mark 11:24 that "…whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them." The world says that I will believe it when I see it; God tells us that we will see it when we believe it! Next week…more on praying in faith!

dON’T giVE uP ON YOuR LOVEd ONES
Rev. Tim Stahlman Family Church Jamestown fcjamestown.org
It’s easy to feel discouraged as a believer when you see people you love and care about living apart from the Lord. As I pray over prayer requests from people in our church, I notice that more than half deal with concerns about the salvation of loved ones. The greatest act of love we can bestow upon others is to take genuine interest in their eternal destiny. The truth is this: There is a Heaven to gain and a Hell to shun. There are some things I want to encourage you with as you pray for your loved ones to accept Christ. First, know that God wants them to be saved more than you do. 2 Peter 3:9 says, “The
Lord… (is) not willing that ANY SHOULD PERISH, but that ALL WOULD COME TO REPENTANCE.” Knowing that you are praying God’s perfect will empowers your faith. Remember: God spilled the Blood of His Son to see that your loved one would have eternal life. God listens to us with great attention when we pray for the salvation of our unsaved loved ones. Do not listen to the false religious idea that God chooses some to get saved and some to burn in hell. God didn’t predestinate anyone to burn. God desires that all get saved but man must cooperate with God’s saving grace. Secondly, we must pray that laborers would be sent into their path. So many times we want to be the ones to win our loved ones to Jesus. But many times it has to be someone else besides us. Sometimes people do not listen to ones they are overly familiar with. That isn’t to say that you shouldn’t remain a good witness to them. Matthew 9:38 says, “Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest,
that He will send forth laborers into his harvest.” When praying for your loved ones, ask God to send a gospel toting and quoting laborer into their path. Now we are praying scripturally and now God will do His part. Next, do not allow the devil to feed you thoughts that salvation is just too far from your loved ones. Many times we look at the lifestyles of loved ones and start believing that they could never get saved. But look at Romans 10:8-9, “But what says it? (The Bible) The word is near you, EVEN IN YOUR MOUTH, AND IN YOUR HEART: that is, the word of faith, which we preach. That if you shall confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and shall believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved.” Salvation is not far from them; salvation has been in their heart and mouth the whole time! We need to show people just how easy faith begins. It begins with our words spoken from our hearts. Your loved ones are never out of reach. Finally, pray that the Word of God would grow and prevail in their heart. (Acts 19:20) As laborers come into their path and share the Word of God with your loved ones, make power available for them by praying that the Word would take root. Never give up on you loved ones!

Also included is our message that ‘We are proud of them, we are praying for their safe return and that they are heroes and will be honored as such when they return home’.” In 2013, we were able to raise enough funds to ship 187 care packages packed with $60$80 of basic necessities and goodies, each averaging between $25 and $35 to ship overseas. We would not have been able to raise the funds to ship that
amount of packages without the support of many local businesses and the wonderful community around us. We can see that Chautauqua County is defi nitely in the spirit of supporting our troops. The VMW, VVA and Support the Troops work together to recruit and inform local veterans of benefits, and maintain the integrity that no veteran past, present or future is left behind or forgotten. They continuously hold fundraisers to raise money for veterans in need, families of veterans in need, care packages to service members and make donations to community founda-
tions. To raise funds in order to provide these different services we hold several fundraising events that include: Annual events; Dice Runs, Vinnie Day, Chili Challenge, Veterans Day Bash, Christmas Tree/Wreath Sale, Chicken BBQ's, Pool/ Corn Hole Tournaments and 200 Club. Various other events; bake sales, raffles, 50/50 drawings, Chinese Auctions, Live Auctions, and several others. On a regular basis they also attend different Veteran functions, conduct fl ag ceremonies, participate in parades, provide military funeral services as requested, and inform veterans
and their families of benefits available all at no charge. Additional organization events for this year will include: VMW 200 Club- February 16, 2014 at 6 p.m. All proceeds from this function help the VMW provide funds to local veterans and veteran's families in need of assistance, and again assistance in mailing packages to troops overseas. This is a day fi lled with music, food and 50/50's all for a Great Cause. Tickets for this event were available starting August 1. Please call 716450-6768 if interested in purchasing a ticket.

Being Single On A Couple’s Holiday
By Dodi Kingsfield Contributing Writer
Let’s face it. Valentine’s Day is a holiday centered on couples celebrating love, romance and sweetheart promises. As a single or an individual not in any exclusive relationship, the Valentine’s Day interrogation can be worse than the aunties at your cousin Martha’s wedding last summer. Not having a date on Valentine’s Day is not the end of the world nor does it define one’s live life for all eternity. It’s just another Friday night in February for a single gal and there are plenty of ways to celebrate love on this typical couple’s holiday. For someone who has never spent Valentine’s Day alone or as a single and always celebrated, what to do on this romantic weekend can seem intimidating or even frightening to a newly single woman. Valentine’s Day is not a casual date night and just the essence of the holiday can put unnecessary stress on a relationship to live up to the romance standards
for the day. No longer a simple celebration of unstated love through the exchange of cards and small tokens, Valentine’s Day has exploded into one giant commercial campaign for the candy, flower, jewelry and greeting card industries. This celebration of love has become a competition among couples, comparing who received or gave a bigger or better gift, thus equating the expense of the gift with the amount of love. And some couples even hinge the success of their relationship on the significance of the gifts exchanged on this day. As if the recent Christmas holiday had not demonstrated undying love already? This creates a lot of pressure for any relationship, particularly a new one, and can even make the simplest Valentine’s Day activity seem forced or the result of giving in to the social pressures of media, family and even friends. As a single, not engaging in this lovesick consumer driven holiday can be taboo in certain circles, but to others, Valentine’s Day

Maybe they are alone as well and would love a companion to spend the day with. When is the last time your widowed grandparents received flowers or a box of chocolates?

Showing a child that you truly care about what is important to them can mean a lot more than one could imagine. Be a valentine for your child(ren) and make the holiday all about them and not the romance and commercialism. Unless, of course, you make Valentine’s Day a girls night out and choose to celebrate with the gang like any other Friday night. Whether it’s BYOB and some chick flicks or dancing at the club until dawn, hanging with the ladies makes for a perfect singles night and can re-emphasize why one remains single in the first place. You can spend the holiday doing your own thing, be someone else’s valentine, have a girl’s night out, or choose to ignore Valentine’s Day completely. Being single on a couples’ holiday can be full of love if you want it, just not the romance. Happy Valentine’s Day.

SAfETY TiPS fOR SHOVELiNg SNOw, CONTiNuEd fROM PAgE 21 TIP #2: Wear breathable layers. Layering is typical cold winter weather advice. We suggest wearing layers of loose clothing so you can peal a layer off if you get hot. Avoid wearing heavy wools, manmade materials or other materials that don’t allow perspiration to evaporate. Better choices are cotton and silk. TIP #3: Watch your feet. No you aren't on Dancing with the Stars, but nonetheless, you need to pay attention to what's on your feet when heading outdoors to shovel snow. SIMA suggests wearing qual-
ity outdoor winter wear such as waterproof boots with good traction. Good traction is critical to ensuring that you don't slip and fall. TIP #4: Take a few minutes to stretch. Shoveling snow is a workout so you need to stretch to warm up your muscles particularly because you are shoveling snow in the cold weather. Stretching before you start shoveling will help prevent injury and fatigue. TIP #5: Push don't lift. Sounds like something a high school wrestling coach may
say but if you push the snow to the side rather than trying to lift the snow to remove it, you exert less energy thereby placing less stress on your body. TIP #6: Drink up! Water that is. SIMA recommends taking frequent breaks and staying hydrated. You should drink water as if you were enduring a tough workout at the gym or running five miles. TIP #7: Don't play in traffic. Sometimes people get so focused on the task at hand they don't pay attention to their surroundings.
When shoveling snow near streets, pay attention to the traffic since vehicles may not have good traction in the snow and ice. TIP #8: Call and text. We're not suggesting that you make calls and text while shoveling snow, but it is important to have your cell phone on you so you can make a call in event of an emergency. Following these seven tips will help ensure that you survive and thrive through winter 2012-2013. For more snow and ice removal tips, visit SIMA.

Playoff Atmosphere Raiders Avenge Loss; Maple Grove’s Wefing Drops 35 On Dunkirk By Stefan Gestwicki

Everything about Tuesday night’s boy basketball game between ECIC Division 1 foes Jamestown and Williamsville North reeked of postseason — The nearly full McElrath Gymnasium. The intensity. The importance of the game. Jamestown head coach Ben Drake couldn’t have asked for a much better performance from his guys as the Red Raiders answered the proverbial bell in a 67-54 win. Williamsville North (12-4, 8-2) had dealt Jamestown (13-4, 9-2) one of its two division losses earlier in the season. A big factor in the win was the play of junior Zack Panebianco, who exploded for 31 points. He had plenty of help from Quinn Lee Yaw. The senior was good for a double-double with 15 points and 14 rebounds. He threw down three dunks that sent the crowd into a frenzy. Panebianco now has 30 or more points in three of his last four games. Against Williamsville North, he did it with a combination of outside shooting touch and cuts to the basket. A 12-2 run to close the first quarter gave Jamestown the lead it needed and a 10-1 pace to open the third quarter was all the Red Raiders

needed to coast to a win. Williamsville North was led by guard Sterling Taplin’s 24 points in the loss. Maple Grove 65, Dunkirk 47 A stellar performance from Cory Wefing was the story of Maple Grove’s 65-47 win over visiting Dunkirk, Tuesday in a Division 1 West showdown. Not only did Wefing pour in 35 points in the win, but he put up seven rebounds, five steals and seven assists to cap an all-around performance. He had plenty of help from teammate Gra-
ham Soffel, who was a force himself with 17 points and 10 rebounds in the win. The Red Dragons scored at will in the first quarter and led 20-14 after the first eight minutes. By halftime, Maple Grove had upped its lead to 35-22 and that’s as close as the game would get. Michael Bess dropped 25 points — including four 3-pointers — in the loss for Dunkirk while Esmond Colvin was good for 12 points.

the ages, but a last-second shot clanged off the rim as visiting Silver Creek celebrated its 56-55 win. Through the first quarter it hardly looked like the Golden Bears would need a comeback of any sorts to come away with a win as they held a comfortable 17-11 lead after the game’s first eight minutes. But an 18-2 Silver Creek run, led by nine points from Billy Brooks, totally flipped the script and gave the Black Knights a 28-19 halftime lead.
I read a lot of sports articles on the vast entity that is the Internet. A LOT of sports articles. So when I stumbled across one that was a top-10 list of the Major League Baseball Players that have been hit with the most pitches in their careers, well, I couldn’t resist. When I got to No. 5 on the prestigious list I got to former Pittsburgh Pirates (among other teams) catcher Jason Kendall. This seemingly non-descript click of the mouse gave me my idea for this commentary as well as a very entertaining Facebook conversation between my friends and myself.

J’Town’s Haight, Green, Capestrani Win At Team Championships By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
The Indoor Track and Field Section VI Team Championships were held Saturday at Fredonia State’s Steele Hall and a number of local athletes made some major noise. Perhaps the most notable performance of the day came from Dunkirk’s Nick Barlette, who won the 55-meter dash against a stacked field with a time of 6.80 seconds. Barlette was first in the prelims at 6.84 seconds and second in the semis with a time of 6.79 before taking the finals by the slimmest of margins. Fredonia’s Weston Ley also advanced to the finals in the 55-meter dash and placed sixth in 7.01 seconds. A number of other Dunkirk Marauders had nice days, too. Javier Soto raced his way to a secondplace finish in the 600 meters with a time of 1:32.13. He was edged by Cheektowaga’s Jack Behlmaier, who won with a time of 1:31.33. Ethan Francis followed with another Dunkirk second-place finish in the 1,600 meter race. Francis finished in 4:57.33 behind Cheektowaga’s Tim Whelan’s amazing time of 4:41.33. In the very next race, Dunkirk’s Jose Morales crossed the finish line second in the 300 meter dash with a time of :38.29 seconds, less

than half-a-second behind Aaron Granger of Pioneer (:37.98). Continuing a brilliant day by the Dunkirk squad, the boys 4x200 meter relay team edged out Iroquois by a nose to win the event. The quartet of Tim Cerrie, Barlette, Morales and Juilo Cheverez ran a time of 1:41.21 to best Iroquois’ 1:41.79. In the boys pole vault, Cerrie placed second with a height of 10feet, 6-inches. Lake Shore’s Chris Beckley cleared a winning height of 11-6. In the triple jump, Fredonia’s Matt Civilette leapt his way to a third-place finish with a best distance of 41-4. Dawan Jones of Tapestry Charter won the event with a leap of 43-10.75. In the large school meet, Jamestown’s Jarell Green took home a first-place finish in the triple jump with a
meet with 118 points followed by Lancaster (85), Frontier (40), Clarence (36), Lockport (34), Williamsville North (31), Niagara Falls (30), Jamestown, Orchard Park (24), West Seneca West (22), North Tonawanda (9) and Hamburg (7). In the girls small school meet, Fredonia’s Devin Kowalewski had a nice showing in the 55-meter hurdles. After coming in third in both the preliminaries and the semis, the senior Lady Hillbilly jumped to second in the finals with her time of 9.10 seconds, her fastest of the day. She was edged by Williamsville South’s Alyssa Oviasogie, who ran a 8.96-second race in the finals. Dunkirk eighth-grader Emilee Hanlon ran three good races en route to a third-place finish in the 55-meter dash. She was fourth in the preliminaries (7.87),
distance of 40-0. Henry Tapia gave the Red Raiders a fourthplace finish with his time of :38.96 in the 300-meter dash. Williamsville North’s Matt Schaefer won the event in :36.96. As for team rankings, the Dunkirk Marauders had the highest finish of any Chautauqua County school with a third-place finish in the boys small school meet. Dunkirk’s 56 points trailed only Cheektowaga (79) and Grand Island (66). The other teams competing in the small school meet were Williamsville South (55), Lake Shore (41), Iroquois (38), Tapestry (36), Pioneer (31), Amherst (24), Williamsville East (9), Springville (8), Depew (8), Fredonia (7), Holland (4) and Kenmore East (2). In the boys large division, Jamestown placed eighth with 29 points. Sweet Home won the
third in the semis (7.81) and third in the finals (7.87) behind Amherst’s Kathryn Yoder (7.62) and Depew’s Sam Spinella (7.80). In the 1,500-meter race walk, Fredonia senior Emily Wan took second with a time of 9:15.51. Only Williamsville East’s Celina Spitznogle (8:30.08) crossed the finish line before Wan. Dunkirk’s 4x200 meter relay team of Hanlon, Samantha Hemenger, Savia Moreland and Ashley Olrogg placed second in 1:59.48. Their time was less than a second off the pace set by Depew’s foursome (1:58.65). In the high jump, Fredonia’s Gwen Stokes actually tied for the highest height cleared at 4-feet, 10-inches, but finished fourth based on number of attempts. Dunkirk’s Faith Rivera was sixth in the event with a
jump of 4-8. Kowalewski was back at it in the long jump, where her leap of 1510.75 was good for third place. Holland’s Christina Kolbmann easily won the event with a huge jump of 17-7.5. Kowalewski followed that effort up with a fourth-place jump of 31-5 in the triple jump. She was inches away from moving up to second place as she trailed only Cheektowaga’s Shawnn Foster (33-10), Lake Shore’s Jessica Dunlap (31-8.25) and Iroquois’ Madison Roberts (31.5.5). Other notable performances came from Fredonia’s Ally Cobb (fifth, 600 meters, 1:48.44) and Dunkirk’s Calan Pogorzelski (fifth, 1,000 meters, 3:22.89). For the girls competing in the large school division, few of them had a day like Jamestown’s Summer Haight. Haight easily won the 55-meter hurdles with her time of 8.72 seconds. She was first in both the preliminaries (8.84) and the semis (8.83), too. The second-place time was a full half-second slower at 9.22 seconds. Jamestown got another first-place finish when Mikayla Capestrani soared 11-feet in the pole vault. Lockport’s Kristen Sawyer (10-6) was the only other competitor to come within a foot-and-ahalf of the Lady Red Raider. Continued on pg 29

commentary, continued from page 24 You see, Jason Kendall is without a doubt my favorite catcher of all time. In fact, there’s little doubt he’s my second favorite player to ever put on a baseball uniform (more on that later). But that got me thinking about which players are my favorite at other positions. Therefore I give you the 2014 Stefan Gestwicki’s Favorite MLB Players All-Star Team. A couple pre-game notes here: I limited myself to only players I have seen play. Otherwise I’d have Roberto Clemente in right field, Bob Gibson on the bump, etc. Being 27 years old, that give me a range of about 1991 to the present. Also keep in mind that this is NOT a real All-Star team. Yes, clearly there have been better catchers than Kendall in the last 25 years (though not as many as you’d think). But he’s MY favorite player. Please feel free to email me your favorite player lineups. I got some awesome ones from friends and family. CATCHER: JASON KENDALL — Kendall played for the Pirates from 1996-2004, the peak of my fallingin-love-with-the-sport phase. I based my batting stance and style of play on Kendall (though oddly catcher is the one position I’ve never played). But his approach at the plate (he twice led MLB in at-bats per strikeout), his wide-open batting stance, his intensity
and his leadership were things that I tried to emulate. He’s one of eight catchers to have over 2,000 career hits. When he suffered a gruesome ankle injury (seriously don’t watch it if you have a weak stomach) in 1999, I was devastated. His speed for a catcher is historic. Since 1901, only one catcher has more than his 189 career stolen bases. And as will be a common theme on this team, I had some awesome baseball cards of Kendall. That helped cement his spot as my favorite Pirate ever. Others considered: None. FIRST BASE: JEFF BAGWELL — Oh, Bags, was there anything you couldn’t do? Perhaps the ‘killer-est’ of The Killer B’s for the Houston Astros throughout the midto-late 1990s and early 2000s, Bagwell had a trademark batting stance that looked like he was sitting on an invisible chair. Every child in America probably tried to emulate the way he came out of that crouch and attacked the ball. He clubbed 449 home runs in a 15-year career and was the 1994 N.L. MVP. He won Gold Gloves, hit for the cycle, stole bases and raked. Oh, and he had an awesome goat beard at times during his career. Others considered: Frank Thomas, Jim Thome. SECOND BASE: JOEY CORA — Probably the first of
we’re all left to wonder “What if?” with the Red Sox great. Others considered: Jack Wilson, Omar Vizquel. THIRD BASE: CHIPPER JONES — This was perhaps the toughest call of any position for me. For one, the Pirates haven’t had a truly inspiring third baseman for as long as I can remember. Pedro Alvarez is getting there, but I’m not that impressed by simply home runs. But Chipper is perhaps the second-greatest switchNomar Garciaparra waves to the crowd after being hitter ever (with No. named the shortstop on my favorite players All1 obviously Mickey Star team.

First while a member of the Milwaukee Brewers when he hit a sure home run that struck the flag pole in center field at Minute Maid Park in Houston. The ball would have traveled something absurb like 450 feet but the flag pole is in play 420 feet away and the ball stayed on the field for a double. The other was when he was with the Diamondbacks and knocked out bulbs (displaying his own face) on the scoreboard at then-Bank One Ballpark. Crazy power. Others considered: Brian Giles, Manny Ramirez. CENTER FIELD: KEN GRIFFEY, JR. — Here he is, my all-time favorite player. I find it hard to believe anyone will ever hold a candle to Junior. For the first 10 years of his career, it was almost a safe bet that “The Kid” would break Hank Aaron’s career home runs record and go down as the greatest player of all time. I could completely fill this sports section with Griffey, Jr.’s accolades, but here are a few: 630 home runs, 2,781 hits, 13x All-Star, 1997 MVP, 10x Gold Glove winner. Not too shabby, huh? His honey-sweet swing from the left side is (in my humble opinion) the prettiest stroke ever. The effortless power, the mind-boggling defense, the charisma — Continued on pg 27

COMMENTARY, CONTiNuEd fROM PAgE 26 Griffey had it all. Then came a trade to the Reds that was followed by years and years of injury and disappointment. He missed 260 games from 2002 to 2004. It still pains me that I was robbed of watching the greatest player of all time. And by all accounts, he was clean in a dirty era. It’s safe to say that I love me some Ken Griffey, Jr. Others considered: Andrew McCutchen. RIGHT FIELD: ICHIRO SUZUKI — My hatred of the Yankees makes it tough to put him on this list, but while with the Mariners there were few players that were must-see TV like Ichiro was. All the Japanese phenom did was come over to MLB and totally dominate. He
won both the Rookie of the Year and MVP awards in this first season. He broke the long-standing singleseason hits record (a record that might stand for a long, long time). He had 10 consecutive 200-hit seasons. His arm in right field was borderline insane. You always hear stories that Ichiro could have been a prolific power hitter if he wanted to also. Apparently in batting practice he could launch home runs with the best of them. But it’s hard to argue with his 2,742 hits, 472 stolen bases and .319 career average in the MLB. Add his 1,278 hits in the NPB and he has 4,020 professional base hits. Wow. Others considered: None. ROTATION: PEDRO
MARTINEZ, RANDY JOHNSON, BRANDON WEBB, TIM WAKEFIELD, FRANCISCO CORDOVA. BULLPEN: BILLY KOCH, JOEL HANRAHAN, BILLY WAGNER. Some obvious names on this list, but I’ll briefly explain some of the others. Pedro is an easy one. He had perhaps the greatest single season ever for a pitcher. The fact that he did it in 1999 at the height of steroid use is just amazing. Randy Johnson is another easy one. He’s among the two or three greatest left-handed pitchers ever. Watching him dominate hitters for two decades was truly a treat. Brandon Webb was one of the best

pitchers in baseball for a handful of seasons. He did it in Arizona so he largely flew under the radar but his sinker is one of the best pitches I’ve ever seen. He made the best hitters in the game look like fools at the plate. Tim Wakefield was never truly dominant, but how could you not like the knuckleball? It’s unfortunate that Wakefield will forever be remembered for the home run he allowed to Aaron Boone in the ALCS because he had a stellar career. Cordova is a name not too many fans probably remember. His career wasn’t long or glorious, but he gave me one of my best baseball memories when he threw a no-hitter for the Pirates against the Astros in 1997. The bullpen is an odd array of talent, too. Wagner would be the closer on this team. He has one of the coolest stories ever. He was a natural right-handed thrower that was forced to start throwing lefty after breaking his right arm as a kid. Fast forward to his MLB career and he’s throwing 100 mph heat with that left arm. He struck out 124 batters in just 74 innings in 1999. With 422 career saves, Wagner is fifth all time while just two behind fellow lefty John Franco. Billy Koch is a far more obscure name but he won me over in his brief career. He was another guy that routinely hit triple-digits with his fastball. Known per-
haps more for his facial hair than his statistics, Koch saved 144 over a four-year span from 1999-2002. He was just a charismatic guy that came out of the bullpen throwing gas. Apparently he was kind of a jerk in real life, but I still remember him fondly. Hanrahan was the Pirates’ closer for a few dominant seasons before being traded to the Red Sox. The Pirates hadn’t had a truly great relief pitcher in a number of years so it was fun to have “The Hammer” at the back end of the bullpen. He’s another guy that grew a great goatbeard during his career. Hopefully he returns to form for the Red Sox in this upcoming year. It’d be fun to see him have some success again after Tommy John surgery. Here are some fun teams that were submitted to me by friends and family: • My father-in-law said he would just pick the 1998 New York Yankees. Pretty solid choice there. • My brother gave me his Red-Sox laden lineup from his current location in Malawi, Africa: • C: Jason Varitek • 1B: Mo Vaughn • 2B: Dustin Pedroia • SS: Nomar Garciaparra • 3B: John Valentin • LF: Manny Ramirez • CF: Ken Griffey Jr. • RF: Troy O’Leary • P: Pedro Martinez • My Mets-fan friend Dominic had an absurdly random team:

this season he has won the SUNYAC weekly award. Estanislau won three individual events and one relay as Fredonia State defeated Cortland for the first time in 10 seasons, 175-123, at the Steele Hall Natatorium last Saturday. Taking part in his
final collegiate home meet, Estanislau finished first in the 200 freestyle (1:45.01), the 100 freestyle (:47.16), the 100 butterfly (:53.39), and was part of the winning 200 medley relay (1:39.83). He had won the SUNYAC award three other times this season prior to Monday.
Haley was a double winner in the Blue Devils' home loss to Cortland. She won the 1-meter with a score of 254.90 points and the 3-meter with an NCAA zone qualifying score of 281.10 points. It is the third time this winter she has been cited by the SUNYAC. Hebert led the Blue Devils in scoring and shooting accuracy as they won their third and fourth straight games. She had 17 points vs. Oneonta and 28 points vs. New Paltz by shooting  17 of 24 from the field (70.8 percent) and 11 of 12 from the line (91.7 percent). She also averaged five rebounds and three assists per game. Hebert is averaging 23.5 points per game on 59.2 percent field-goal shooting and 84.7 percent from the line.

Lakewood Rod and t is Gun Club. bers nt. Calarco celebrated his 90th birthday this past May 18 and his induction into the Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame is a belated, but well-deserved present that honors his many accomplishments. Calarco grew up loving sports and spent much of his youth at the YMCA. He attended Westfield Academy and played junior varsity sports in the eighth grade. In high school he excelled in four varsity sports — football,
basketball, baseball and track. In fact, he was so good, he earned 15 out of 16 total letters, the most any student could receive, and picked up a large collection of allconference awards and medals in tournaments along the way. He and his brother were drafted into the Army in 1943 and Vincent was a member of the 78th battalion and the 550th infantry during World War II, serving under General George S. Patton, spending much of his time in combat throughout the European Theater. While in England waiting to come home, Calarco was in charge of intramural sports. His family operated Calarco's Restaurant in Westfield, where he began working at the age of 13 and once home,

he returned and he and his wife and children continue to serve great Italian dishes. When he got back, he formed the Calarco Trojans semi-pro basketball team, which began playing area teams in the Merchant
League and eventually the Chautauqua County Basketball Association for more than seven years. He also formed baseball and football teams, which continued for 24 years and played football with the Jamestown
team in 1948-49. At that point, Calarco took on a whole new role as a basketball referee and for the next 50 years, traveled throughout the area officiating hundreds of games. Calarco was the civil defense director in Westfield for 38 years and was a member of the Westfield Planning Board, the Knights of Columbus, Kiwanis, the Westfield Business Association and was part of the Legion Marching Squad. In a note attached to his biographical information, Calarco noted the following: "This is what sports do. They bring great people together and that's what the world needs more of today." Joining Calarco as inductees in the CSHOF’s Class of 2014
are Geza Farkus, Dan Lunetta, Cindy Miller, Al Muck, Tom Prechtl, Tom Priester, and Jack Wigley. Sharon Robinson, daughter of baseball legend, Jackie Robinson is the guest speaker.

Annual sporting Clays tournament to Benefit Boy scouts Contributed Article Allegheny Highlands Council
The Allegheny Highlands Council, Boy Scouts of America will be hosting its 14th Annual Sporting Clays Tournament at the Bradford Gun Club in Pennsylvania. “A really good time was had by over 90 sportsmen that came from three states last year, and more of the same is in store for this year. This is a terrific way to come out and support the scouts and enjoy the event and the sport. This is one of the best course layouts in the Twin Tiers that shooters are sure to be challenged on. Come on out and partake in a hearty buffet luncheon, win great prizes, as well as get in on the drawings”, said Tournament chairman Mike Schuler, from Bradford. The date of the event is Saturday, February 22, with check-in at 9:00 a.m. and a shotgun start at 10:00 a.m. The day will conclude with prizes awarded in seventeen positions, for customengraved Zippo lighters. “There will be other

drawings and super prizes for competing which make for a really fun day. Scouts from the Gun Club’s Venture Crew will be assisting in the scoring and as guides. It gives the participants a chance to meet some of great teenagers in the program,” said Tom Kelly from Ripley, New York, a long-time scout leader and member of the organizing committee. Greg Souchik from Lewis Run, Pennsylvania, and owner of Allegheny Arsenal in Bradford said, “Sporting clays has become a favorite hobby of mine, and helping with this event got me hooked on the sport years ago. It really is a good time and this event has a lot of great folks involved helping the scouts. You
don’t want to miss it.” The cost of the event is $50, which includes 50 sporting clays, awards, prizes, and a great buffet lunch. Shooters of all ages and skill levels are invited to join in the day, and walk-ins are welcome. Female shooters are also welcome, and is one of the awards categories. Scoring is done by skill level, so everyone has a good chance of winning a top award.

U.S. Hockey Crushes Slovakia In Opening Game
By Greg Beacham AP Sports Writer
Paul Stastny scored twice during a six-goal barrage in the second period, and the United States got off to a spectacular start in the Olympic men's hockey tournament with a 7-1 victory over Slovakia on Thursday. Ryan Kesler, David Backes, Phil Kessel and Dustin Brown also scored as the Americans battered Slovakia for six consecutive goals in a 13:51 span, turning what was expected to be a tough matchup into a laugher. Jonathan Quick made 22 saves in his Olympic debut for the U.S., which hopes to improve on its silvermedal finish in Vancouver despite a roster that isn't thought to have the offensive power of Canada, Russia or Sweden. In their only warmup for Saturday's showdown with Russia, the Americans didn't need scoring stars to leave Slovakia's two goalies battered. Jaroslav Halak stopped 20 shots before getting pulled when Stastny tipped home Kevin Shattenkirk's pass to put the Americans up 5-1. Peter Budaj replaced Halak, but Kessel and Brown scored in the next 1:47. Tomas Tatar scored for Slovakia,
vak crowd retreated into silence at Shayba Arena. Kessel had a goal and two assists, while Patrick Kane, T.J. Oshie and James van Riemsdyk added two assists apiece. Stastny scored his second goal while Slovakia's Tomas Marcinko limped off the ice behind the play with an injury. Stastny is a two-time U.S. Olympian with a famous Slovak father: Hall of Famer Peter Stastny played extensively for the Czechoslovakian and Slovak national teams alongside his lengthy NHL career. The Americans' scoring outburst made their goaltending situation John Carlson (4) of United States celebrates his goal against Slovakia in the seem secondary for a day, but first period at the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.

They screamed the home nation's chant early and often during the game and did the wave when the only question was how much Russia would win by against an overmatched team.

Russia, meanwhile, has 16 players from the NHL and two stars, Kovalchuk and Alexander Radulov, who left the league to go back home to play in the Kontinental Hockey League. The Russians' skill was on full display early in the game as they skated fast, shot hard and made slick moves. Ovechkin charged down the left side of the ice early in the game
and his wrist shot from the left circle was so sharp that Slovenia's goaltender, Robert Kristan, had no shot to stop it with his glove. The Washington Capitals forward showed he could pass, too, when he lightly touched the puck near center ice to give Malkin an opportunity to score. The Pittsburgh Penguins star took full advantage of the chance, deking to his right in front of the net and shooting left to beat Kristan's blocker. Instead of rolling to a
rout, though, the Russians had to make some stops and shots the rest of the way to win. Semyon Varlamov had to make just 12 saves, but one of them required him to kick his right leg out to deny Kopitar when the game was still in doubt. Kristan faced a flurry of shots -- 18 in the first and 35 in the game -- and gave his team a chance to compete in a game no one outside of Slovenia's dressing room thought it could win.
