While local snowmobile riders already know that Chautauqua County features some of New York State’s best trails for sledding, readers of a specialty magazine that thoroughly covers the snowmobiling industry will soon learn all about our region’s enthusiasm for the sport. Officials from Chautauqua County were recently interviewed by a writer who works for Snow Goer magazine, a publication based in Minnesota that covers a

More often than not, I may slip a line or two into my commentaries about my faith, but it’s a rarity for me to write one directly referencing spiritual life. But, I’m one to follow my heart- and I feel it important that this topic be shared. Throughout my nearly eleven years as a Christian, I have time and time again had the opportunity to share my faith with people. Family, friends, coworkers, strangers at the gas stationcontinueD on pG. 5 whatever the situation might be. I’ve been too bold at times, too cowardice at others, but I’ve learned a lot through the successes and failures.

What Will obamacare mean for medicare? grOupS DiSAgrEE On iMpAct tO prOgrAM AnD SEniOrS By Michael Dean Star Contributing Writer
As major changes in health care reform loom with the enactment of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), opinions differ on what the law will do to the coverage that seniors now have through Medicare. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), or “Obamacare,” is a bill championed by President Barack Obama and signed into law in March of 2010. According to the bill, its purpose is to “provide affordable, quality health care for all Americans and to reduce the growth in healthcare spending.” This historic bill is the most influential since the creation of Medicare and Medicaid in 1965 under Lyndon B. Johnson. However, it has not come without a great deal of controversy and skepticism. Under Medicaid, which helps low-income citizens pay for healthcare, Obamacare reforms are intended to “expand coverage, hold insurance companies accountable, lower health care costs, guarantee more choices and enhance quality of care for all Americans.” A recent poll conducted by CNN in 2010 states that 49.9 million Americans, or 16.3% of the U.S. population, are left uninsured. Most of the major provisions to
the ACA don’t set in until January 1 of 2014, and there is still a great deal of dissent seeking to prevent that from occurring. A recent Supreme Court case in June of 2012 upheld the constitutionality of the law in a tight 5-4 ruling. However, while the ACA is crafted for over-hauling Medicaid, many are still unsure what the ACA will do to Medicare. Medicare, or the federal system of health insurance for people over the age of 65, insures 40 million Americans, and covers half of their medical costs. According to the Congressional Budget office, Medicare will be reduced by nearly $455 Billion

relationship in my life. I cannot be a good husband to my wife if I don’t seek God first. I cannot be a good father to my sons if I
don’t seek God first. God does not hate you, friend. The contrary is only true. He has nothing but love toward you. Too often, we are quick to blame a God we do not know. Plenty of people have faith that God exists, but only put their faith in Him as someone to blame when bad things happen. We live in a world where bad things have happened, are happening and will continue to happen. But we also live under a Father who wants to protect us, to shield us and shelter us
from those bad things happening. But if we don’t ask to be under that shield- He won’t put us there. God, as it has been said, is a perfect gentleman. He’ll offer the umbrella, but it’s up to you to go under it. I encourage you to challenge yourself and your faith. If you’ve only ever viewed God as a boy with a magnifying glass and you’re the anthill, try looking at it a little differently. He does not, could not, and will not hate you.

Chautauqua County Humane Society Pet of the Week
Pets of the Week
This week we are featuring “Biggy” and “Precious”. Biggy is a one-year-old pit-bull mix that is one hunk of love. He is a big lug that plays and loves with all he has. He could use a bit of training but he is eager to please. Precious is a sweet one-year-old kitty that is looking for a quiet place to call home. She is very much her own “purr-son” and likes to do things on her terms. She gets along with other kitties but might not be best with small children. If you have a place in your heart and your home for either one of these great pets, or one of their shelter friends, stop by the Strunk Road Adoption Center and check them out. You will be glad you did. Thank you We wanted to let all our Pet of the Week partners know that this works. William, the seven-year-old lab, was our most recent Pet of the Week adoptee. His new family said it was because of this that they came in and adopted him. We hear this often. Thank you for helping us get these great pets into great homes!

sno-Goer magazine comments on chautauqua county snowmobiling “chAutAuquA cOuntY iS nOt On thE MAp… thiS ArticlE iS intEnDED tO chAngE thAt” My name is David Wells, I live in a suburb of Rochester, NY, and I was in Chautauqua County at the beginning of the month to do the tour story for next year’s Snow Goer magazine issues. Snow Goer is the oldest and best-known snowmobile publication, and has the largest paid circulation of any national snowmobile publication in the world. Although the magazine is headquartered in a suburb of Minneapolis, Minnesota, we actually have more subscribers in New York than any other state. We also publish more
issues per season (7) than any other national snowmobile publication, and have much more tour and travel coverage than any other in our field. I’ve been doing stories like this for the magazine since the 1970’s, and this project was my idea. We like to cover areas that haven’t been written up in the past, and Chautauqua County fit this criteria perfectly. To the best of my knowledge, no national snowmobile magazine has ever done anything on Chautauqua County, so the excellent riding and strong services support in
the County is not well known outside of extreme western NY, northwestern PA and northeastern Ohio. Even here in the Rochester area where I live, Chautauqua County is not on the map. This article is intended to change that. My touring buddy Ted Perkins accompanied me, and shot quite a bit of video footage for future use. He has one snowmobile trail riding DVD called Saddlebag Sledding out already. Our trip was facilitated greatly by Stephanie Burdo from the
county Visitor’s Bureau. She set us up with Webb’s Resort in Mayville as a place to work from, and with Bryce Steffan and Dee Dipple from Chautauqua Lake Snowmobile Services, County Legislator Fred Croscut, and a good number of local club leaders to guide us around the county. We rode just under 300 miles in three days, visited numerous snowmobile service establishments (restaurants, taverns, snowmobile dealerships, etc.) and club facilities, shot a lot of photos and video, and had a great time doing it.
Ben Webb at Webb’s and several other County business people, like Sean Feegan at the Witch Kitch in Sinclairville, also provided a lot of useful background information to us. The article will be published sometime next season. It hasn’t been scheduled yet, so I don’t know what issue. Our first one appears in August, with the last issue in March. David Wells Pittsford, NY

Sno-Goers. “We were a bit challenged with the weather conditions during the time he was here, but we explained to him that when the weather is right, there really is nothing that compares to riding a sled around Chautauqua County.” With the snowmobile industry generating over $850 million in annual revenue in New York State, most sled riders and the small business owners who
communication with hundreds of private landowners help streamline how the trails will be maintained to allow for safe riding conditions. While many Chautauqua County residents ride snowmobiles, it is the non-residents who come visit the region to ride the trails who help give the local economy a boost, a fact that Wells is expected to address in his magazine article.
“David (Wells) seemed very impressed with our trails and he was able to cover a lot of ground during his three-and-a-half day visit, enjoying nearly 300 miles of snowmobile trails,” Chautauqua County Executive Greg Edwards stated earlier this month. Local snowmobile enthusiasts are anxiously awaiting the publication of Wells’ article in an upcoming issue of Snow Goer. “This is going to be great
because Snow Goer has been around forever and has a big following and faithful readers,” says Sorrento. “The article will be a good thing. It will be nice to get that type of exposure.” For more specific information about snowmobiling in Chautauqua County, call 1-866-908-4569 or visit the Chautauqua County Visitors Bureau online at http://www.tourchautauqua.com/.

RELIGION SECTION Keeping the Faith
Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church Fredonia www.fcfredonia.org
Dear Pastor, are guardian angels real or just a myth? When I was young, I was told that everyone has a guardian angel to guide and protect them. At the time, I wondered if they were real or a myth like Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. Let’s see what the Bible has to say about this fascinating topic. In Matthew 18:10 Jesus said, “Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones; for I say to you, that in heaven their angels do always behold the face of My Father which is in heaven.” In this scripture Jesus was referring to children as “little ones.”
He warns us not to treat children poorly. Why? Jesus said that their angels bring petitions before God. So, according to this scripture, each child does have an angel. Although the Bible does not use the term “guardian angel,” we do know from the scriptures that one of their jobs is to protect us. We read in the Bible that an angel kept hungry lions from attacking Daniel when he was thrown in the lion pit for his religious beliefs (Daniel 6:22). Psalms 34:7 says, “The angel of the Lord encamps (circles) round about them that fear Him, and delivers them.” In my archives I have many testi-
monies from individuals reporting how angels have assisted them in times of need. One of my favorites is from a pastor’s wife (and mother to several children) who became ill while her husband was away. During a particularly stressful time an angel came to the door and told the wife that she needed rest. Without any qualms, the woman lay down and instantly fell asleep. While she slept, the angel cleaned the house, did the laundry, dressed the kids, and prepared a wonderful meal. She woke when her husband returned from his trip, unexpectedly accompanied by some new friends.
Surprised by the clean house she also discovered that the table had been set for 13 people, the exact number of her family and their unexpected guests! While this report may be extraordinary, there are also numerous testimonies of angelic interventions concerning lost items, prevention of injuries, and comforting visitations to the dying. However they are named, it’s apparent that there are angels working in our lives. Isn’t it wonderful that God saw fit to offer His divine protection and assistance in this manner!
The Weekly Word
Rev. Tim Stahlman Family Church Jamestown thenewfamilychurch.com
The Day of Visitation Perhaps our hearts have been calloused and our spiritual senses have become dull, but make no mistake, God will visit your life. Psalm 8:4 says, “What is man that you (God) are mindful of him? And the son of man, that you VISIT HIM?” God not only is thinking about you but He will actively pay a visit upon your life. God won’t visit with thunder and lightning and make a dramatic entrance into your room. He visits us by sending God-filled people into our lives. The ultimate visitation that God ever paid to this planet was through His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus demonstrated complete authority over the domain of evil and the realm of sickness
and disease. His wisdom tied the tongues of all that opposed Him and His power healed even the ones that touched His robe in faith. In John chapter 3, a ruling member of the Jewish council even admitted to Jesus, under the cover of night, that they all could see that God was with Him. Yet in all this, as the crucifixion approached, Jesus stood overlooking Jerusalem and prophesied through His own tears that destruction would come upon them. Luke 19:41-44 says, “And when he ( Jesus) was come near, he beheld the city ( Jerusalem) and wept over it saying, ‘if you had known…in this your day the things which belong to your peace! ...the days will come when…your enemies shall…encompass you on every
side…because you did not know your time of visitation.” The works of Jesus demonstrated that God was in their midst but they decided to hate Him. They cast off His example and resorted to their same old ways. God sent a Messenger in their midst and it represented a visitation from God. Do you think God has sent messengers that count for a visitation of God in our lives? I can guarantee it. 1 Peter 2:12 says, “Have your behavior honest among the Gentiles (unbelievers) that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may behold your good works and glorify god in the day of visitation.” Every time a Christian sells out to God and lives in the extreme to please God, they become a visitation to
the people around them. Look around! That person you know that sold out to God is a visitation of God in your life. If you have been encouraged, challenged, or even convicted by the godly example of a believer, God has visited you. Literally, the godly nature of those people has put our lives on trial before God. When Jerusalem ignored Jesus, a guilty sentence was handed to them. Will we ignore the godly examples in our midst? I dare you: Count the visitations of God in your life. Then ask yourself, “Am I a visitation for somebody else?” Your example will live longer on earth than you will.

VETERANS SERVICE AGENCY CAN ASSIST IN PREPARING DIRECTIVES Contributed Article VSA
The Veterans Service Agency would like to remind veterans and residents about the importance of having advance directive documents in place. “Planning for a day when we may not be able to make decisions for ourselves is not something we wish to think about now when we are healthy and vibrant,” said Chautauqua County Veterans Service Agency Director Doug Diers. “But it is something that should be done as your quality of life can change in an instant.” An advance directive is defined as a legal document that enables an individual to designate another person, called the attorneyin-fact, to act on their behalf, even in the event the individual becomes disabled or incapacitated. It enables medical staff and family members to make decisions for their patients or loved ones when an injury or serious illness may prevent them from making the decision themselves. An advance directive, or healthcare directive, combines a living will, a durable power of attorney, and
in some cases a health care proxy. These can either be combined in one document or separated depending on the individual’s wishes. It is important to know that living wills and other advance directives are not just for senior veterans to think about completing. An unexpected end-of-life situation can happen at any age and at any time. “Preplanning is the key to ensure your wishes are carried out,” said Diers. “By knowing what you want before hand, your family will be less stressed and more prepared when clear thinking may not be first and foremost in a crisis.” Military Veteran can receive copies of the Advance Directive Form (VA 10-0137) at the Veterans Service Agency, or any Veteran Affairs medical facility. The form can also be downloaded directly by visiting www.va.gov/vhapublications. Non-military veteran are encouraged to contact their private medical staff or attorney to find out more about these life changing documents. For more information contact the Veterans Service Agency at (716) 661-8255.
Your Retirement Is Definitely Worth Planning For You’ve heard it said before: Timing is everything. Especially when it comes to starting your Social Security benefits. More than 90% of working Americans are counting on Social Security to replace part of their current incomes when they retire, but the truth is the majority of those already drawing benefits receive permanently reduced amounts due to ill-informed timing decisions. In fact, many Americans fail to take into account the true impact of factors such as age, job status, taxes and marital status when deciding when to start receiving benefits. And that can prove to be a costly mistake. Don’t make the same mistakes other retirees make. It could mean leaving money on the table at atime when you’ll need it most. That’s why it’s important to develop a strategy to maximize your household Social Security benefits and enhance your overall retirement income plan. After all, a little planning now can go a long way – and in this case, we’re talking a lifetime.

live at the met season Features parsifal at opera House Contributed Article 1891 Fredonia Opera House
The 1891 Fredonia Opera House continues the 2012-13 season of Live at the Met high definition opera broadcasts from the Metropolitan Opera with Richard Wagner’s Parsifal, on Sat., Mar. 2, at 12 p.m. “This week’s offering is Wagner’s final masterpiece, Parsifal,” says Opera House Executive Director Rick Davis. “Reputed to be ‘undirectable,’ French Canadian Director François Girard makes blood the focal point of his postapocalyptic vision for this new Met production. With a dream cast, it has been very well received both critically and by audiences.” Star tenor Jonas Kaufmann sings the title role in the Met’s new production, which is a debut for Director Girard. The extraordinary cast of Wagnerians assembled for the deeply meditative opera about sin, redemption, pain, and healing includes German bass René Pape as the wise knight Gurnemanz; Swedish soprano Katarina Dalayman as the wayward temptress Kundry; Swedish baritone Peter Mattei as the wounded king Amfortas; and Russian bass-baritone Evgeny Nikitin as the evil wizard Klingsor. Italian
maestro Daniele Gatti conducts Wagner’s powerful and complex score. American bass-baritone Eric Owens hosts the transmission and conducts backstage interviews with the stars. Running time: approximately 330 minutes, including two intermissions. The Associated Press calls the production “a Parsifal to treasure, elevated to the highest musical level by the solemnity and sweep of Daniele Gatti’s conducting and the dedication of a dream cast of singing actors.” The New York Times similarly proclaimed, “the Met has assembled about the best Parsifal cast available today... Kaufmann is in his glory... handsome and limber, he is a natural onstage. The baritonal colorings of his sound, his clarion top notes, the blend of virility and tenderness in his singing, his refined musicianship – all these strengths come together in his distinctive Parsifal.” The production is the longest this season, notes Davis. “It lasts five hours, 48 minutes. There are two 40-minute intermissions,” he adds, “during which snacks and beverages will be available for purchase on the second floor of Village Hall. (No food or beverage is allowed inside the theatre.)” Live at the Met opera
broadcasts are made possible by Dr. James M. and Marcia Merrins, who funded the purchase of the satellite transmission and projection equipment used in the series. Additional support comes from Bob and Shirley Coon, Susan Dilks, Steve and Mary Rees and DFT Communications. Tickets to Parsifal are $20 ($18 for Opera House and Met members, $15 for students) and are available in advance by calling or visiting the Box Office at 716-679-1891 Tuesday – Friday, 1-5 p.m. They also may be purchased online anytime at www.fredopera. org. The Opera House also is offering a new flexible opera subscription consisting of nine tickets that can be used however the patron wants – one at a time to nine different operas, all at once for nine people, or anything in between. The flexible opera subscription is $161. Chautauqua County’s only performing arts center presenting its own programming year-round, the 1891 Fredonia Opera House is a member-supported not-for-profit organization located in Village Hall in downtown Fredonia.

Snowmobiler’s Haven While they’ve kept the inside of the restaurant relatively the same since taking over ownership, the Spegars have begun to expand the outdoor area at Guppys, in an effort to really embrace all four seasons that Western New York has to offer. “We built the pavilion
outside, and it’s been a hit,” said Christy. “People can come in, drink and even eat out there- and they love it. In the summer, they enjoy the evening weather and entertainment. And in the winter, the snowmobilers love to sit out there.” The pavilion is perfect for the many snowmobilers who visit and live in Chautauqua County. With a trail entrance right across the street from Guppy’sthe location is perfect. “They love sitting out there because, while we have some space heaters, it’s of course cooler than inside so they don’t have to unlayer from all their gear,” said Christy. “We have places for their helmets and everything so they don’t feel like they’re cluttering anything
up. They just stay out there and have a few drinks and a warm meal after a great day of riding.” With a vast food and drink selection, and a unique niche of catering to every season in Chautauqua County, Guppy’s is the perfect place for a weekend trip before spring arrives. They open at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday-Sunday, staying open until 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 10 p.m. the rest of the week. Guppy’s is closed on Mondays.

implemented. Doctors and hospitals are encouraged to coordinate care through payment incentives. For the first time, Medicare will reward quality, not quantity; thus, bonus payments will be given to those doctors and hospitals that provide good quality care.” Both sides continue to weigh in on the Medicare debate, and will continue

expansion will result in a more comfortable, private, accessible, and appealing setting for our patients and their families, and ensures an efficient environment with the latest technology for our medical team.” Linda Summers, FACHE, MBA, OT, Chief Operating Officer (COO) at TLC Health Network, said the project will increase the Emergency Department from just over 3,000 square feet to 7,000 square feet and will provide seven private rooms. “This project is likely the most important at Lake Shore in many years,” Ms. Summer explained. “The Emergency Department is the ‘front door’ to the hospital for most of our inpatients and many members of our community who never anticipated needing medical care. It’s important for people to know that when they need a modern, safe, efficient hospital, there’s one right in their backyard.” The expansion project is being undertaken for several reasons. Enhancing patient privacy, improving infection control, providing a higher quality of service including better patient flow to decrease wait times and providing sufficient waiting room space are all expected outcomes in the expansion project. The hospital handles about 12,600 Emergency Room visits annually, accord-
ing to officials. “With the seasonal influx of parttime residents, we can see a significant increase,” Ms. Summers said. “This project will allow us to take better care of those spikes, especially on summer weekends.” Key features in one of the new private rooms include special lighting, equipment, and supplies to provide the capability for specialty trauma care. “It provides the opportunity for procedures to be done quickly for patients involved in situations such as motor vehicle accidents, those with head injuries or cardiac patients,” Ms. Summers explained. Another new room is outfitted with specially-designed furnishings and equipment to meet the medical needs of larger-sized patients. Due to the area’s overall design, all rooms will be able to be viewed from a central nurses’ station for increased visibility, quicker response by staff, and privacy for patients. Improvements in technology and equipment include new telemetry for monitoring cardiac patients and new treatment tables. The Emergency Department expansion at Lake Shore Health Care Center will mark another important change for customers – the relocation of Outpatient Registration. Currently, those registering for Outpatient areas report just inside the main entrance of

the hospital, even though most Outpatient Services are located nearest to the Emergency Department. With the renovation project, the Outpatient Registration will move nearer to those services, Ms. Summers said. Officials say Emergency Department patrons should not experience any interruption of service during the project, as the actual expansion section is being constructed separately and will not impact the existing day-to-day ongoing operations. “We’ll build the additional 4,000 square feet first and then move into that space before renovating our existing 3,000 square feet,” Ms. Summers explained. No change in parking or the existing entrance is expected for the public, although the ambulance entrance will be affected at some point during construction. “We will be working very closely with transport personnel to ensure smooth patient flow in and out of the department,” she said. Officials at LERHSNY received approval of a Certificate of Need application from the New York State Department of Health authorizing them to move forward with the bid process for the project which resulted in the selection of Cannon Design for the renovation planning as well as LP Ciminelli for construction management and Concept as the project contractor. Ms. Summers said the Emergency Department staff and other hospital personnel have been and will continue to be an integral part of the planning process for the project as well.

Seniors can enter assisted living from a variety of settings in the community including their own home, apartment or a family member’s home. “Often someone will come to us from the hospital or rehab where they may continue their recovery until they feel comfortable enough to return home or decide to stay on.” Activities for all interests Residents have safe access to the facility’s wellness center, which under the supervision of a certified personal trainer; they can use the treadmill, recumbent bike and free weights. For those who prefer it, there is a “seated” exercise class offered every morning. There are many musical activities including a choral group, which performs regularly in the community, as well as a handdrum group. Among the many other activities are the usual bingo and card games plus Wii bowling and boxing which Woodard says are “huge hits.” There is also a homey “bistro” that resembles a modern kitchen where families can come and prepare a traditional family recipe together, hold a party or just enjoy playing games. Woodard says Tanglewood encourages ongoing family involvement and support by providing an environment in which seniors can nurture those relationships.

and recommendations on how we can save energy,” said Kevin Cloos, director of Facilities Services at SUNY Fredonia. “The goal is to learn what we can do better. We can always do better. The information will also help us long-term when we develop future capital projects, deciding where we need to allocate money to help reduce energy costs across the entire campus.” SUNY Fredonia has
worked for many years to reduce energy use, Mr. Cloos said. Overall energy consumption on campus has been reduced by more than eight percent during the last 20 years even with the opening of several new buildings and ever increasing use of electronic devices. The CHA analysis, to take about two months to complete, represents the first building energy audit done on campus in the last
dozen years and is believed to be the most comprehensive ever undertaken. The primary objective is to optimize daily operations, thereby reducing energy consumption without significant capital investment. Potential examples of improvements that have minimal or no costs include: lighting replacements with occupancy sensors, door and window seals, energy management systems, lowflow faucets and shower
heads, office wall insulation and boiler controls for hot water reset. Buildings included in the review become eligible for Energy Star certification. CHA, which has conducted more than 120 NYSERDA-funded Benchmarking energy assessments, began the assessment on Monday, Feb. 18. NYSERDA Benchmarking grants are made available to commercial, industrial and institutional applicants.
suny campuses to use standard Financial aid award letter this Fall Contributed Article JCC
Jamestown Community College and all other State University of New York campuses will use a standard financial aid award letter for the 2013-14 academic year as part of the SUNY Smart Track™ campaign, SUNY’s commitment to college cost transparency and a reduction in student debt. “JCC recognizes there are many important considerations for families planning for college, including academic quality, a caring environment, transferability, preparing for the next steps in education and career plans, and value,” notes Laurie Vorp, executive director of student finance and records. “The new SUNY Smart Track™ Award Letter will assist them by providing clear information about the financial aspect of their
planning,” Vorp added. “As 85% of JCC’s first time full-time students receive aid from federal, state, or college sources, we expect this new format will be helpful to many of our students’ families.” The new award letter will allow students and their families to see clearly the cost of attendance and fi nancial aid offerings at each campus, including campus-specific information such as graduation rate, median borrowing, and loan default rate. SUNY is the first and largest public system of higher education nationally to implement such a tool for students and families. “While college students across the country are taking on more loan debt than ever before, SUNY Smart Track™ gives our prospective students the most comprehensive and transparent fi nancial aid information available so that they can make informed decisions
about how to pay for their college education,” said SUNY Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher. “The standard award letter will allow prospective students and their families to easily compare colleges within SUNY and view a full outline of the financial commitment associated with their education.” Development of the standard fi nancial aid award letter was first announced when SUNY launched its Smart Track™ campaign in September. With the launch, SUNY adopted the concept of transparency of fi nancial aid and college costs and the system began offering students the most proactive, comprehensive fi nancial aid information and services in the country. Chancellor Zimpher also announced that SUNY Smart Track™ would contribute to a wider systemwide goal of decreasing the loan default rate of SUNY

students by at least five percent over the next five years. The average indebtedness of a SUNY graduate is $22,575, well below the national average of $26,600. The vast majority of SUNY student loan borrowers repay their loans successfully. The SUNY Smart Track™ Award Letter was developed by a committee of campus fi nancial aid directors and others who were tasked with adopting the intent of the federal Financial Aid Shopping Sheet while creating a unique version for SUNY. Additionally, the campaign calls for an expansion of SUNY’s Student Loan Service Center, early engagement of students at risk of default, and providing new and improved online resources such as a net price calculator, access to fi nancial aid experts, and fi nancial literacy materials.

The students divide into groups that act as public relations “firms.” During the course of the semester, the group works to develop a strategic public relations plan to help the organization it has been assigned to assist. At the end of the semester, groups “pitch” their work to the organizations for implementation.

No. 1 Brocton and No. 2 Sherman both handled their business in the Section 6 Class D semifinal games, Monday at JCC to set up a dream matchup of the top two seeds in the finals. The first game was no contest as Brocton pummeled No. 4 Ellicottville to the tune of 67-29. The final score was probably closer than the game on the floor as the Bulldogs’ starters were on the bench for a majority of the second and fourth quarters. Brocton coach Jeff Franze wasn’t entirely shocked by the result his team put on the scoreboard. “We played Ellicottville during the season,” he said. “We beat them pretty good at our house but down at their place it was pretty close. They were missing a point guard that was very important to them. That hurts them. When you’re a small school and you lose your point guard, you’re in trouble. I’ve been there before.” The Bulldogs defense was smothering, holding the Eagles scoreless throughout the first quarter and into the second until a single free throw put Ellicottville on the board with five minutes left in the half. Jordan Patterson and Dan Ferguson led a Brocton offense that scored a majority of its points on second chances and fast breaks

off steals. The pair combined for 40 points, including 23 of the team’s first 24 in the first half. “They’ve been important all through the year,” Franze added of Ferguson and Patterson. “I liked our role players tonight, too. They played well. Bryen Graves had 11 rebounds. We were very feisty off the boards.” Brocton led the overmatched Eagles 31-5 at halftime and 55-13 after three quarters. Ellicottville didn’t even hit double digits until the 3:30 mark in the third. “It’s the plan all the time,”

Franze said about winning with defense. “We don’t score a lot of points. Even when we’re on we don’t score a lot of points. We rely on our defense a lot.” Franze emptied his bench early in the fourth quarter and the Bulldog reserves played admirably against the Ellicottville starters. “It’s nice to get everybody involved,” Franze noted. “Outside of the first three minutes, I thought all the kids played with a lot of confidence.” Sherman’s game against No. 3 Clymer was a bit of a grudge
match. The two teams split the season series with the final scores of those two games adding up to an 86-86 draw. The Wildcats won the first meeting 40-37 before Clymer returned the favor a few weeks later, 49-46. It was Sherman who got the last laugh however, as the Wildcats came flying out of the gates en route to a 52-30 win. They outhustled the Pirates on both ends of the floor and left the court to a huge ovation from the Sherman faithful after building a 15-2 lead after eight minutes.

The Buffalo Sabres, after years of mediocrity and disappointment, have finally fired long-time head coach Lindy Ruff. To quote Ranch Wilder from ‘Angels in the Outfield’: It’s about time. Yes, I realize that Lindy became more than just the coach of the beloved hockey team — he became part of Buffalo culture.

It’s not like this is CONTINUED ON PG 2 the Minnesota Wild we’re talking here. That’s a lot of games. But perhaps that’s why he stuck around as long as he did. Management changed, yet Ruff stayed.

Final
Part of the reason for Sherman’s success was the marked effort to take away Clymer big man Dan Lictus in the middle of the offense. Lictus battled foul trouble and was held scoreless in the first half before adding just seven in the second while consistently seeing double and even triple coverage. The defensive gamble paid off for the Wildcats as they led from the get go. Clymer battled back to cut the lead to single digits in the third quarter, but an 18-5 fourth quarter run put Sherman back in control. Andrew Graham led a balanced Sherman attack with 16 points and six rebounds.

Card was good for 12 points, eight rebounds and three blocks. Devin Moorhead had a nice game too with five points, seven rebounds, three steals and three assists. The wins by Brocton and Sherman mean the two teams will get a third shot at each other — this one to determine the Section 6 Class D champion. The teams split their two meeting earlier in the season, with Sherman’s win accounting for Brocton’s only loss of the season. The finals will be held Friday, March 1 at 5:30 p.m. at Jamestown Community College. “It should be a great final,” Franze concluded.

Ironmen Prevail Over Wild In Shootout
Contributed Article Jamestown Ironmen
The Jamestown Ironmen (32-14-4) executed the sweep of the Wenatchee Wild (35-8-5) with a 3-2 shootout victory on Saturday during North American Hockey League action at the Jamestown Savings Bank Arena. During a scoreless first period, the JSBA crowd was treated to an up-tempo, physical battle between two of the NAHL’s top teams. “We stayed with them,” said Ironmen Head Coach Dan Daikawa. “It was a great first period of hockey.” Jamestown transferred its momentum from the first period into an early goal by Nico Sierra only 22 seconds into the second. Assists came from Tyler Dunagan and Michael Mazzotta. The rest of the period was littered with penalties from both teams which threw the Ironmen off a bit as they let in a pair
Jamestown suffered a pair of losses at the hands of the Wild on the road earlier this season, and this weekend was revenge for the home squad. “We felt like we owed them from the last time we played in Wenatchee,” said a satisfied Daikawa in the locker room following the game. “The bottom line is, we needed to win and that is what we did today.” With the pair of wins this The Jamestown Ironmen clinched a playoff berth with a weekend, Jamestown handsweep of the Wenatchee Wild this past weekend.

Red Raiders Into Semis
MOVING ONTO THE C2 FINALS CONTINUED FROM PG 1 gether a triple-double with 17 points, 11 rebounds, 11 assists and five steals. Not only did he put up eye-popping stats, but with the MST Prep defense keying on Williams, the floor opened up for the other four Black Knights on the court. That, too, wasn’t an unusual sight during a Silver Creek basketball game. “Brennan (White) was stepping up so his guy said ‘This kid can play a little bit’,” Genco said. “He started to play a little more full denial. Then (Steve) Marcey started heating up so they took their quicker guard off the bench and made him run with Marcey wherever he went. Now you have to stop Zed and Billy (Brooks) and Kaine (Kettle).” Stopping 6-foot-7 sophomore center Bill Brooks has proved to be a near impossible task lately. At 15 years old, Brooks defends the basket as fiercely as anyone you’ll see. He’s quickly developed into an offensive threat too as his 24 points led everyone on the court. He just missed a 20-20 performance with 18 rebounds. He was credited with seven blocks, but many felt the tally was probably higher. His shot-altering ability frustrated the Indians all game long. Marcey was fantastic with 16 points, White added 11 points and five rebounds and Kettle was good for seven points and six rebounds, though it sure felt like he fi lled up the stat sheet with his play. Silver Creek led 43-22 after the first half and all but put the game away in the third quarter as the lead climbed to 62-33. Just like Silver Creek’s slow start, Portville sure didn’t look like it’d run

away from Maple Grove. The Red Dragons got out to a 5-2 lead as the Panthers bumbled and fumbled their way down the court. But an 11-3 run quickly quieted the Maple Grove faithful and from there, the rout was on. Portville’s Zach Blask provided a highlight at the end of the first quarter when he beat the buzzer with a quick putback. The referees converged and agreed that Blask got the shot off before the buzzer and Portville enjoyed a 20-11 lead after the first eight minutes. Meanwhile the Portville defense made life miserable for the Maple Grove shooters. The Red Dragons just weren’t able to get close to the basket. Portville wasn’t allowing any passes into the paint and always had a hand in the face of any Maple Grove player that attempted a jumper.
Will Soffel had 12 points and Graham Soffel added another nine, but it just wasn’t enough to get Maple Grove over the hump and into the Section 6 Class C2 fi nals. That honor now goes to Portville, which has already lost to Silver Creek twice this season. Coming into the season, however, Genco specifically mentioned Portville as the team that could derail the Black Knights’ hopes of a Sectional title. “I’m going to sit here and watch a great basketball game,” Genco said before the Maple Grove-Portville game. “I’ll fi lm it, stay up until three in the morning and be ready tomorrow to gameplan. “It’s tough to beat a team three times,” Genco added. “You know them, but you also know that they know you. They can make things difficult. There’s two sides to that. I would rather play the unknown than Portville, who knows every step we take.” The Section 6 Class C2 fi nals will be held Friday at 7 p.m. at Jamestown Community College following the Class D fi nals between Brocton and Sherman at 5:30 p.m.

2012-13 NHL Standings
BUFFALO SABRES
''We had a lot of good chances, and their goalie played well,'' said Stamkos, who had eight shots. Stamkos put the Lightning up 1-0 at 1:24 of the first on a rebound goal from the slot after Miller made a save on Teddy Purcell's shot. Hodgson tied it at 1 with 9:58 left in first from behind the net when his pass toward the slot deflected off a Tampa Bay defender and past goalie Mathieu Garon. ''Obviously, it's frustrating, but we did enough things to win,'' Tampa Bay defenseman Victor Hedman said. Garon stopped 19 shots. Buffalo had lost in four in a row, including two under Rolston. ''It was good for all of our guys to sit in that room and have that feeling where they did a lot of things right tonight and got rewarded for it,'' Rolston said. Lightning defenseman Sami Salo left in the second with an undisclosed lowerbody injury. Tampa Bay coach Guy Boucher said he didn't know how long Salo will be sidelined. ''It was a tough game,'' Boucher said. ''We lost a defenseman. We got beat by a goaltender.'' NOTES: Tampa Bay C Cory Conacher had an assist, giving the rookie four assists and six points during a six-game point streak. ... Vanek has 12 assists and 35 points in 29 games against Tampa Bay. ... Lightning LW Ryan Malone, who has sat out nine straight games with an undisclosed lower-body injury, is skating in practice. ... Sabres D Jordan Leopold missed his third consecutive game because of an undisclosed upper-body injury.
COMMENTARY CONTINUED FROM PG 1 You can preach about how much tougher you are this year with the addition of Scott, but the game has always been about, and will always be about, putting the puck in the net. These guys, with the obvious exception of Vanek, the diminutive Ennis and maybe Hodgson, simply aren’t good at it. Pominville is having another decent season, but decent doesn’t cut it when you’re making the kind of money ($5.5 million) that Pominville is raking in. Leino also isn’t doing this group any favors, either on the stat sheet or on the salary cap front. The Finnish forward is taking home $6 million this season and hasn’t played a game due to an injury. Maybe it’s okay that he hasn’t seen the ice yet as he put up just eight goals in 71 games last season. It was easy to second-guess the Sabres’ decision to sign Leino to a huge deal before the 2011-2012 season and it’s getting easier every day. Stafford has been a colossal waste this season. His one goal in 19 games in awful enough, but he’s also fourth on the team with 53 shots on goal. You’d think he’d accidently put one in the net every now and then. This guy was an impact player not too long ago but looks like he’s stressing to make plays. Hopefully Rolston can bring back some of the confidence Stafford built when he was a 30-goal scorer in 2010-2011. So was it Ruff’s scheme that failed to produce, or simply the players he sent on the ice? Ruff looked like a genius when he was skating out
Danny Briere, Chris Drury, Derek Roy and Max Afinogenov in route to the President’s Trophy, so I’m willing to place blame on the players on the offensive end. DEFENSEMEN: T.J. Brennan, Christian Ehrhoff, Jordan Leopold, Tyler Meyers, Adam Pardy, Robyn Regehr, Andrej Sekera, Mike Weber. As bad — I shouldn’t say ‘bad’, how about inconsistent — as the offense has been, there’s no question that the Sabres defense has been the biggest issue this season. Ruff was always regarded as a defensive-minded coach, but the numbers just don’t back that up. This season the Sabres are 28th in the NHL in goals allowed per game. Ryan Miller gets peppered with a league-high 33.5 shots per game. Last season, Buffalo ranked 26th among the 30 teams in shots allowed per game. Christian Ehrhoff took a lot of heat last season for underperforming after the Sabres threw a boatload of money at him, but he’s been Buffalo’s most reliable defenseman this season. He leads the team in ice time and has even put up 10 points with a pair of goals and eight assists. He’s not the most offensively gifted defenseman you’ll ever see, but he’s finally earning at least some of that huge contract. After Ehrhoff though, it’s a bunch of guys who are either ridiculously overpaid (Meyers) or aren’t good enough to consistently earn ice time (Weber, Leopold). Meyers earns most of the blame and rightfully so.
After a rookie season in which he took home the Calder Trophy at 19 years old, the 6-foot-8 behemoth has steadily regressed to the point of occasionally earning that dreaded ‘healthy scratch’ tag. There’s a lot of talk that the now-23 year old showed up out of shape after the lockout ended. He’s being criticized for earning a huge contract and then getting lazy. If there’s one player that Rolston absolutely has to get right, it’s Meyers. He once showed potential to be the next Zdeno Chara, but he’s turning out to be another Cam Barker. The rest of the defensive core simply isn’t good. Players like Weber, Leopold and Sekera probably wouldn’t crack the top six on a contender. In no way is points a measure of a defenseman’s ability, but outside of Ehrhoff, the Sabres’ leader in points for defensemen is Leopold with four, though he’s at -7 for a plus/ minus, so that proves how effective he’s been. Meyers is at -6 while Sekera is at -5. Those types of numbers just won’t help a team win. So again, Ruff’s influence might not have done this group any favors, but I’m not sure Scotty Bowman could win with this ragtag bunch of defensemen. Only time will tell how Rolston fairs. GOALIES: Ryan Miller, Jhonas Enroth. Remember when fans were calling for Enroth to start over Miller? Remember when the Sabres had a backup goalie (Marty Biron) that they weren’t terrified to put between the pipes? Those were the days.
To say that Enroth has been terrible would be an insult to such terrible goalies like Tommy Salo and Vesa Toskala. Enroth has made the routine look difficult in a season he’s allowed 11 goals on just 72 shots (.847 save percentage). Miller, meanwhile, has done an admirable job keeping the Sabres competitive in some games they had no business staying in. Miller is first in the league in both losses and goals allowed, which might lead you to believe he’s had an off year, but keep in mind the defense that’s playing in front of him. His save percentage this year (.913) is almost exactly his career average (.915). Miller also leads the league in shots faced and saves. He’s second in games played. So when you play nearly every game, you’ll probably accumulate some stats. What’s troubling is Miller’s lack of shutouts. It always has been. Miller simply doesn’t steal games despite getting paid like an elite goalie. Even if you haven’t watched a second of the Sabres’ season, you should be able to tell by now that they have issues. I applaud management for making a move that wasn’t universally popular. I hope it works out for them. I look forward to the day when Rolston, or whoever leads the team in the coming years, hoists the Stanley Cup through the streets of Buffalo. It might just take some time as the only competition Buffalo provides these days is to the Columbus Blue Jackets as the worst team in the NHL.

NHL Power Rankings (through feb. 27)
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@star-mediagroup.com. 1) Chicago Blackhawks 16-0-3 The 61 goals scored are tops in the West. Their 37 goals allowed are fewest. Nice. 2) Boston Bruins 12-2-2 Beantown is being treated to the best start to a season since 1976. 3) Anaheim Ducks 13-3-1 Teemu Selanne has 16 points in 17 games at the tender age of 42 this season. 4) Pittsburgh Penguins 13-7-0 Sidney Crosby will have to continue his recent tear with Evgeni Malkin on the shelf. 5) Montreal Canadiens 12-4-3 Raise your hand if you hand Montreal leading the East after 20 games. Yeah, me neither. 6) Ottawa Senators 12-6-2 The Sens’ active five-game win streak is second only to Chicago’s six-gamer. 7) New Jersey Devils 10-5-4 The road gets a little tougher with Martin Brodeur headed to IR, but this team’s resilient. 8) Vancouver Canucks 10-5-4 Having 24 points is nice, but only a +2 goal differential might suggest some issues. 9) Toronto Maple Leafs 12-8-0 Fourth place in the Northeast, but still a top nine team in the NHL. 7-3-0 over their last 10. 10) Nashville Predators 9-6-5 Three straight games in California (Ducks, Sharks, Kings) will be telling. 11) St. Louis Blues 10-6-2 Three goals over a three-game stretch (1-1-1) isn’t likely jet this team up the rankings. 12) Dallas Stars 10-8-2 Up from fourth to second in the division is nice, but still only two points ahead of fi fth. 13) Detroit Red Wings 9-7-3 26-year old rookie Damien Brunner has 10 goals, which is seventh in the NHL. 14) Phoenix Coyotes 9-7-3 Tuesday’s win in Vancouver was huge both in the standings and for the team’s confidence. 15) Los Angeles Kings 9-6-2 Four straight wins, but if the playoffs started today the defending champs would be out. 16) Minnesota Wild 9-7-2 Outstanding at home (7-2-1) plus abysmal on the road (2-5-1) equals an average team. 17) Philadelphia Flyers 9-11-1 The acquisition of former-Flyer Simon Gagne might be too little, too late for Philly. 18) Tampa Bay Lightning 9-9-1 Steven Stamkos is riding an impressive six-game streak of scoring at least one goal. 19) Calgary Flames 7-7-4 Jarome Iglinla scored a pair of goals in win over Phoenix. Flames need him to get hot. 20) Edmonton Oilers 7-7-4 It’s a bad time to be a 40-year old goalie as Nikolai Khabibulin joins Brodeur on IR. 22) San Jose Sharks 9-6-3 After a 7-0 start, the ice-cold Sharks sit a measly seventh in the conference. 21) Carolina Hurricanes 9-8-1 First place in the division and 22nd in the power rankings? Yup, that’s the Southeast for you. 23) Winnipeg Jets 9-9-1 A -8 goal differential and tied atop the division? Yup, that’s the Southeast for you. 24) Colorado Avalanche 7-8-3 JeanSebastien Giguere is 2-0-1 this season and two wins from 250 for his career. 25) New York Rangers 8-8-2 I forget, does an 0-2-1 week help a struggling team regain momentum? 26) New York Islanders 8-11-1 A bad season is about to get worse with games against the streaking Sens and Maple Leafs. 27) Washington Capitals 7-10-1 A hat trick from Ovechkin and a new deal for Braden Holtby have fans smiling in D.C. 28) Florida Panthers 6-9-4 Tomas Kopecky had a four-point game. That’s something right? 29) Buffalo Sabres 7-12-1 Sabres fans are delusional if they think they aren’t watching the East’s worst team. 30) Columbus Blue Jackets 5-12-3 A threepoint week for Columbus is almost enough to escape the rankings basement.
