A Chautauqua County historical landmark will be featured in the upcoming motion picture, “Lighthouse Unmanned” produced by Keeper LLC. The Dunkirk Lighthouse will be the scene of the film, which will take a historically accurate look at the struggle lighthouse keepers encountered while they were replaced by automation technology. “Lighthouse keepers were like first responders,” David Briska, who runs the Dunkirk Lighthouse museum’s day-to-day operations, said. “If there was a shipwreck or a problem out in the water, the lighthouse keeper would be the one to respond and do rescue. They were like heroes to the people. After you lose your job, you’re no longer the hero. Not only that, but you don’t CONTINUED ON PAGE 6

LIGHTS CAMERA ACTION, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 live in the lighthouse anymore. No job. No home. The story is about adjusting to this life.” The filming begins on Saturday, Oct. 8 and will run through Tuesday, Oct. 25. There will be outdoor scenes that will be available for the public to watch live. The company is also looking for local people to serve as extras for the film. The lighthouse isn’t the only building in Dunkirk that will be featured in the movie. “I am actually now the location manager,” Briska noted. “When they need something, they call me. I’ve gone and found places to film. They’re filming at the hospital. They’re filming at the (SUNY Fredonia Technology) Incubator. They’re filming at several local people’s houses for interior scenes.” The film will keep the name of the Dunkirk Lighthouse and actually be set in the City of Dunkirk. It’s likely that more of Dunkirk will be featured if there are traveling scenes in the movie. “It’s a very exciting time,” Briska said. “It’s bringing people to Dunkirk. The cast and crew are all staying right here in town. There are a couple of animals in the movie.
The trainers and the dogs are staying in town. Just the publicity for the Dunkirk Lighthouse itself is great. Once it goes out and people see it, they’ll want to come see the lighthouse.” The film was set to be filmed in Michigan, but the state took away the tax incentive for filming, so the independent film company started looking elsewhere. “There were other options,” Briska recalled. “They came here about a year-and-a-half ago and started looking at lighthouses along Lake Erie and Lake Ontario in New York to see which one would fit.” Since the company selected the Dunkirk Lighthouse as its location, Briska and his team have been busy prepping the grounds for filming. “It’s been constant,” he noted. “We need a fake building for one of the scenes, so we’ve been building that. We also had to put a fake building up over our tank. When they’re filming out in the field, they don’t want to see the tank so we have that fake building around it. It’s only three sides and the inside is nothing but the 2x4s. We’ve had to build a few things like that to get ready. We had to find someone to cater the food. We had to get people with

older cars because it’s set in like the 70s or 80s. It’s been a lot of running around and doing the little things.” The film is expected to be released in the fall of 2017, but there are rumblings of a special screening at the Dunkirk Lighthouse in the spring. Nothing is set in stone, but it’s possible that the local people will have a chance to preview the

used in the foundation of the current house. More information on the lighthouse can be found at dunkirklighthosuse. com or by liking “Dunkirk Lighthouse” on Facebook.

TRUSTING THE CHARACTER OF GOD hoped that our faith would be big enough to receive the help we need in our families, health, and finances. Many of us have blamed our lack of faith when help fails to manifest. But let me say this: God doesn't stretch His hand over us because we are always faith giants; He manifests His help when we have a knowledge of His goodness. "For God so loved the world that He gave..." God doesn't give because we always deserve it. God gives because He loves. There are no shortcuts to real mountain moving faith. There is no diet pill or drive through mentality to having sincere bedrock faith.
There isn't a recipe of faith or a 12 step program. Real faith comes only from a personal fellowship with our Heavenly Father. This pure and genuine faith is only forged in alone time with God. As you mediate on God's Word because you want to know Him, your faith will become authentic. As you bow your knees behind closed doors because you want to commune with Him, your faith will be fueled by personal knowledge of the One you are seeking. Faith is not something we try to have; Faith is what comes automatically when we know God. If you know the character of the One you are

asking then you will rest on that character more than your efforts. The devil has successfully convinced many Christians that their faith isn't enough. And by doing so, he has persuaded believers to consider their own faith first when they should have first considered the character of God. Christians then move into a place where God cannot go: They move into self condemnation. They move to a place of blaming themselves. Many Christians can forgive others but few have learned to forgive themselves. James 1:5 in the Amplified Bible says, "If any
of you is deficient in wisdom let him ask of the giving God, who gives to everyone liberally and UNGRUDINGLY, WITHOUT REPROACHING OR FAULTFINDING, and it will be given him." This verse tells us how to receive from God. God always gives in an environment without faultfinding. God does not size up your selfrighteousness before He decides to give you something. You must not be in a place of blaming yourself if you are to receive from God. He gave us Jesus "while we were yet sinners." (Rom 5:8) He doesn't withhold because of grudges. He gives be-
cause of His incredible desire to demonstrate His love. When you come to God you must know this about Him. You must be willing to believe that He is not looking at your faults. (If you are Born Again) You must understand that He has required you not to condemn yourself. You must see yourself as qualified to receive because of His love and not your "put on" faith. Believing only in your faith is not faith at all. Believing that God is going to give out of His love is what faith was meant to be all along. This faith only occurs when a person personally knows God.

Consider using your lawn mower to mulch your leaves right into your lawn this fall. Don’t bag your leaves. nutrients in the leaves will be released by decomposition back into the ground and then reused by the trees and grass as nourishment. It’s free fertilizer! If you are a village or city resident, mulching your leaves can also help keep municipal costs down since it reduces the amount of leaves the public works department needs to haul away.

WCA Cancer Treatment Center First In Region To Introduce Treatment for Advanced Prostate Cancer Contributed Article WCA Hospital
Recently, radiation oncologist, Theresa Pagliuca, MD, boardcertified radiation oncologist at WCA Hospital Cancer Treatment Center, began administering Xofigo®, a treatment for patients with prostate cancer that has metastasized (spread) to the bones and who have failed other treatments. When prostate cancer metastasized to the bone, it can be very painful for the patient and increase the risk of fractures. WCA Hospital is the first in the region to introduce the new treatment. Dr. Pagliuca, explains, “Xofigo is the first and only drug that involves a radioactive isotope that specifically hones in on the bones and has shown to increase the patient’s quality of life and overall survival. Once a month for six months, we inject a drug that specifically seeks out the tumors in the bones by binding to bony minerals. Xofigo mimics calcium which allows radiation delivery directly to bone tumors while minimizing damage to surrounding normal structures. What’s more, patients can continue to receive external beam radiation or CyberKnife® treatment while on Xofigo.”
Theresa Pagliuca, MD, board-certified radiation oncologist at the WCA Cancer Treatment Center.
Recently approved by the FDA, Xofigo is proven to alleviate symptoms of metastasized prostate cancer to the bone, thus increasing the patient’s quality of life. Importantly,
this treatment was shown to increase overall survival. Its effectiveness is documented in a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine. “It’s gratifying to bring Xofigo
to patients who otherwise may not have other treatment options available to them,” says Dr. Pagliuca. For more information, or a

Remembering Alex Foulk Contributed Article Kimberly S. Carlson
On February 26th 2016, at approximately 2:00 pm the journey of a parent’s worst nightmare would begin to unfold. My 26-year-old son Alex Foulk was found unresponsive. As the day turned to night we learned that Alex had used heroin laced with a drug called Fentanyl. We as a family and community were blindsided by this Shock waves went through me all I could say was “NO, not my Alex” I was in shock and disbelief. My son didn’t like needle’s; they must be wrong. Alex had a great full time job, went to the gym daily, ate healthy food, volunteered, how could this be? What had we missed? Did we see signs but didn’t know what they meant? If this is starting to have a familiar ring to it then you have been paying attention to nationwide problem. As a mom, the only thing left for me to do for Alex and our Community was to be honest, very honest. Immediately a fund was set up in his name at the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation. This fund will be used for awareness and recovery efforts including housing. I tell our story wherever and whenever I can. Alex did not die in vain. In the past 6 months we have had a family concert, a community awareness walk, a golf tournament and our final event of 2016 will be held October 1st 2016. I believe prevention works when we all have the correct information, I believe in harm reduction, I believe in recovery. I believe that if this could happen to to our Alex it can happen to anyone’s. If you have been in any way touched by this epidemic or if you know someone who has been, please consider coming to this even. If you are a parent, a student, a teacher or if you just want to know the facts please consider joining us for this event. Included in this event will be CASAC, Hope Coalition, Evergreen, MHA, Chautauqua County Heath Department of Mental Hygiene and WCA Hospital. I also believe that we can save lives with knowledge and that when we open our minds and hearts positive change will come. For more information on how a family from your area can be honored during the red carpet ceremony of for rates for groups contact me directly at 716-499-5070 or kcarlson@airrobo.com

Nine decades of fire prevention Those who survived the Chicago and Peshtigo fires never forgot what they'd been through; both blazes produced countless tales of bravery and heroism. But the fires also changed the way that firefighters and public officials thought about fire safety. On the 40th anniversary of the Great Chicago Fire, the Fire Marshals Association of North America (today known as the International Fire Marshals Association), decided that the anniversary of the Great Chicago Fire should henceforth be observed not with festivities, but in a way that would keep the public informed about the importance of fire prevention. The commemoration grew incrementally official over the years. In 1920, President Woodrow Wilson issued the first National Fire Prevention Day proclamation, and since 1922, Fire Prevention Week has been observed on the Sunday through Saturday period in which October 9 falls. According to the National Archives and Records Administration's Library Information Center, Fire Prevention Week is the longest running public health and safety observance on record. The President of the United States has signed a proclamation proclaiming a national observance during that week every year since 1925.

Rotary Club Welcomes Bloomquist As Newest Member Contributed Article Rotary Club of Jamestown
At a recent meeting of the Rotary Club of Jamestown, the club welcomed a new member, Donna Bloomquist, RN. Sponsored by Rotary Club Member Wally Bloomquist (and also her brother), Ms. Bloomquist works as a Clinical Informatics Manager at Lutheran in Jamestown. Since 2011, Donna has worked for Lutheran, initially as a staff nurse, then as a nursing supervisor, and now manages Lutheran’s electronic medical records systems in her current role. Ms. Bloomquist grew up working in the family printing business with her brother, Wally. After college, she secured a position at a Belgian company named Agfa Graphics NV as a software trainer for the printing industry. She held numerous positions in many areas of the business. These included, among others, technical support manager, engineering manager, and international product line manager. When the company decided to move the marketing department to their headquarters in Belgium, Donna decided a move overseas was not in the plans for her. With her background in computer systems, she then decided to focus her career on the expanding field of healthcare information systems and the rest is history. The Jamestown Rotary Club is proud to welcome Donna to the club. She looks forward to serving the community. Rotary is a service organization whose purpose is to bring together business and

ture for the caterpillars, each chrysalis was mapped on a diagram showing its location and the date the caterpillar spun the cocoon, so the children would know when to watch for each butterfly to emerge. His classmate Isaac Freay noted that milkweed is poisonous to most small animals, but since monarch caterpillars safely eat the plant, the butterfly itself is also poisonous to most small animals. “If a hawk ate a monarch butterfly, it would not affect it. This is because of the hawk’s size,” he explained. “A field mouse would get very sick if it ate a monarch butterfly,” Isaac continued, “because it’s so small the poison would easily affect the poor field mouse.” Fourth graders attended the dedication of the Waystation, as this school year they will study monarchs, as the current fifth graders did last year. Teachers Margie Weise and Shari Tennies coordinate the efforts in the elementary school. In addition, secondary school teacher Adam Gollwitzer – who also attended the dedication with earth science students – will teach a new elective course, Metamorphosis: A Course about Change, starting in January. His students next semester will investigate the rapid decline of the monarch population in North America and relevant statistics, causes, related problems, and
solutions. Working with several community partner organizations, they will design and build butterfly gardens in multiple Chautauqua County locations to support the preservation of the species. For several years, Diane and Jack Voelker have studied monarch conservation and have traveled to the location along the California coast where monarchs west of the Rocky Mountains hibernate, as well as the forests of Mexico where the local monarchs winter. In late August, the couple helped promote butterfly conservation at the Monarch Butterfly Festival at Jamestown’s Audubon Nature Center. They have a certified Monarch Waystation in their yard at home. The other Waystation currently certified within the district was established at the Chautauqua Institution by the Bird, Tree and Garden Club. Additional Waystations in Chautauqua County are located at M&R Greenhouses in Dunkirk and at private homes in Bemus Point, Fredonia, Frewsburg and Stow.

Of course, there are a few options right here in Chautauqua County that offer both in-person tours and a quality education. “We’re very fortunate to have so many different colleges that are close enough to home but still fit that ‘college experience,’” Lewis commented. “I’ve found that a lot of students like to stay close to home. There’s a great campus right down Route 60 at JCC that has dorms.

Just like the college search engines that are used to find the school that’s right for a particular student, there are scholarship search engines that students are encouraged to use. “I think students are usually just unaware about the resources that are available to them,” Lewis lamented. “You don’t have to go into debt, especially not right away.

Fredonia sent an astounding 94 percent from last year’s graduating class.

Tips to Transform Your Dorm Room Contributed Article StatePoint
Dorm room comfort is crucial for health, happiness and academic success. Luckily, you can transform your space from ho hum to something more personalized and functional. The college shopping experts at Bed Bath & Beyond are offering tips to help. Create Your Space Students can showcase their style and make it home by adding an area rug, decorative pillows and throw blanket for extra warmth. Window panels, tapestries, artwork and mirrors pull the room together. Add string-lights for atmosphere, or try an Étagère Floor Lamp with Charging Station to provide extra light for studying. Ample seating is always good for when friends pop in: consider chairs that fold when not in use to save space. Standard-issue dorm mattresses are often uncomfortable. Build a better bed with a mattress pad, memory foam topper or fiberbed. Then, guard against allergens and spills with a mattress protector. Make laundry day easier by investing in an extra set of sheets. Is your dorm room small? Use storage and organizational systems under the bed, over the door and in the closet. For instance, an over-the-door shoe organizer can store rolled up T-shirts, cosmetics, toiletries and school supplies. Take advantage of vertical closet space to make more room with a Double Hang Closet Rod and Slim Grips Hangers. CONTRINUED ON PAGE 27
PAYING FOR COLLEGE: HOW TO MAKE A PLAN, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 23 Outside Funding Explore every avenue for supplementing college costs. All families should start by completing the FAFSA, which is a free application for federal student aid, to determine your eligibility. Next, investigate merit-based scholarships. From small grants to full rides, a scholarship of any size can reduce costs without the stress of payments or interest. A database of scholarships can be found online at tuitionfundingsources.com. Private student loans can expand possibilities for many families, fully funding most college expenses. To learn more about how private student loans work, visit wellsfargo.com/student. Look Ahead Four years goes by more quickly than you think. Have a
loan repayment plan in place. While many responsible lenders defer repayment on loans until after school is over, and some even allow graduates to postpone payments for a number of reasons, being prepared is essential. Students should spend time before graduation on a job search to help ensure they have income when loan payments start becoming due. While students are in school, they should consider part-time work in order to earmark earnings for loan repayment. Also, being mindful of spending and maintaining great credit will help students avoid significant credit card debt on top of student loan debt. Get Savvy There are plenty of free resources available to prospective students and their families. For information on scholarships, student loans, federal and state aid, building credit, as well
as money management tips and tools, visit Wells Fargo’s “Get College Ready” website at wellsfargo.com/getcolleg-
eready. College-bound families should make financial plans as soon as possible. From identifying and
securing funding to amassing adequate savings, the sooner you get the discussion started, the better.

TIPS TO TRANSFORM YOUR DORM ROOM, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 26 Use Free Resources Some retailers provide a wealth of resources to help college students make life more comfortable. For example, Bed Bath & Beyond provides college-specific information, including tailored lists of what students can and can’t have in the dorm. Tips, ideas, a Virtual Catalog, and a Student Life Checklist are available all year long by visiting the “Shop for College” tab at bedbathandbeyond.com/shopforcollege. Students can visit stores or shop online and select a ship date at checkout. They also offer a free service called “Pack & Hold,” allowing students to shop for items at a store near home for convenient pick-up at a location closer to campus. This is especially beneficial for students traveling far to school. Power Up Staying powered is crucial these days. Multi-functional bed risers featuring an AC outlet and USB charger maximize under-bed space while providing a grounded charging station. Charge and protect electrical devices from voltage spikes with a surge protector. For example, the Desk Clamp Surge Protector features four regular outlets, two transformer-plug outlets and two USB ports and clips to the edge of a desk for easy access. At college, coffee is liquid gold. Whether pounding grounds late-night or sipping in the AM, students should consider a French Press, Pour Over, Automatic Coffee Maker or Single Serve Coffee Maker for their dorm. Don’t forget the travel mug! With a few simple steps, you can transform your dorm room into one feels like home.

CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, OCTOBER 07, 2016
YOUTH SYMPHONY BOARD WELCOMES NEW MEMBERS, MANAGER, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 30 Tim Przybelinski teaches grades 5-12 band at Chautauqua Lake Central School. He holds a Bachelor of Music Education degree from Penn State University and a Master of Music in trombone performance degree from the University of Delaware. A Jamestown native, he graduated from Jamestown High School and was also a Youth Symphony student. CRYS’s new manager, Tammy Lachner, is a graduate of Southwestern Central School and Jamestown Community College. The owner of Tammarie Designs, she has a website with a blog and Etsy shop. Her son participates in CRYS’s Young Artists Orchestra. In addition to Derrenbacher, continuing CRYS board members are Michelle Battaglia, Michelle Carlson, Sarah Flaherty, Kathy Geary, and Lana Huston. Derrenbacher noted that the closing a few years ago of the Suzuki Strings program in the Jamestown Public Schools has made a difference in the ages at which students reach different performance levels. At the same time, student musicians have many demands on
their time. As a result, she said, “We are continuing to have three orchestras, but we are changing their make-up and – in one case – their name.” Prelude Strings will remain the orchestra for beginning string players. These students will now be primarily middle schoolers, instead of the elementary students of the past. The Young Artists Orchestra (YAO) will include players of orchestral instruments at NYSSMA level III or IV and above, primarily upper middle and high school students. The most advanced orchestra, formerly the Youth Symphony, will become the String Chamber Orchestra, exclusively for string players in high
school and college. Students who study another instrument as well as a string can play in both YAO and the String Chamber Orchestra. Distinguished performer and conductor Bryan Eckenrode is CRYS Music Director and Conductor for rehearsals that begin in January. Orchestra participants are selected by teacher recommendation. Students will be auditioned in early January for proper placement in one of the three orchestras.

Opera House Cinema Series to Present “Landfillharmonic”
Contributed Article Fredonia Opera House
The next feature film in the Opera House Cinema Series is “Landfillharmonic,” a unique documentary about an orchestra comprised of instruments made from garbage. It will be screened on Sat., Oct. 8, and Tues., Oct. 11, at 7:30 p.m. The film is being presented in partnership with the State University of New York at Fredonia’s College of Visual & Performing Arts. Cateura, Paraguay, is a town essentially built on top of a landfill. Garbage collectors browse the trash for sellable goods, and children are often at risk of getting involved with drugs and gangs. When music director Favio Chavez set up a music program in the schools for the children of Cateura, he soon had more students than he had instruments. That changed when Favio was brought something he had never seen before – a violin made out of garbage. Today, there’s an entire orchestra of assembled instruments called The Recycled Orchestra, which tours its inspiring spectacle of trash-into-music around the world. "Landfillharmonic" shows how trash and recycled materials can be transformed into beautiful sounding musical instruments; but more importantly, it brings witness to the transformation of precious human beings. A beautiful story about the power of music, it also highlights two vital issues of our times – poverty and waste pollution. The New York Times calls the film “an inspiring tale – if it were fiction you’d dismiss it as unbelievable.” The Austin
Chronicle calls it “a secret treasure.” Film Journal International calls it “a deeply inspiring documentary about how trouble for a real-life river city was transformed into triumph.” Unrated and in Spanish with English subtitles, “Landfillharmonic” runs one hour, 24 minutes. The Opera House Cinema Series is sponsored by Lake Shore Savings Bank. Additional support for this special screening comes from the State University of New York at Fredonia College of Visual & Performing Arts.
Tickets are available at the door for $7 (adults), $6.50 (seniors & Opera House members) and $5 (students) the night of each screening. A book of 10 movie passes is available for $60 at the door or online at www.fredopera.org. For more information, call the Opera House Box Office at 716-679-1891. The Opera House is equipped with individualized closed captioning headsets for the deaf as well as with assistive listening headsets for the hearingimpaired. Simply request one from any usher or Opera House staff member.
Headset funding provided by Robert & Marilyn Maytum, the John Ben Snow Memorial Trust, the Dunkirk-Fredonia Lions Club, and by a grant from Theatre Development Fund’s TAP Plus program in partnership with the New York State Council on the Arts. The 1891 Fredonia Opera House is a member-supported not-for-profit performing arts center located in Village Hall in downtown Fredonia. For a complete schedule of events, visit www. fredopera.org.

Simply The Best OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST THRILLS MASSIVE STEELE HALL CROWD By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
The eruption from the packed house when Olympic gold medalist Jenn Suhr cleared 16-feet, 5-inches at Steele Hall was just one of many during an afternoon of sheer excitement on Saturday. That height, which is the highest any female has pole vaulted in 2016 (including the Olympics), unfortunately did come on Suhr’s fourth attempt and therefore won’t go down in the official record book, but still gave the crowd a thrilling conclusion to an awesome event. Suhr, a Fredonia native, returned home to put on this pole vaulting exhibition – an officially sanctioned event which followed all of the rules and regulations of any track and field competition. Each competitor was given three attempts at each height, which is why Suhr’s fourth attempt won’t officially count despite clearing a height higher than anyone in the world this year. She took that fourth attempt as a tribute to her fans that showered her with love. Along with Suhr - the 15-time U.S. champion, three-time Olympian and two-time world record holder – six more of the best pole vaulters from around Western New York joined in the competition. Claire Deshonge is a former NYS Section V champion and Cornell University record holder. She has been a Division I national qualifier as well as a two-time Academic All-American. Erica Ellis from Gates Chili became the youngest New York State champion ever last year when she captured the title at just 14 years old. She is the No. 1 ranked youth in the United States and the Section V record holder. During the competition, Ellis cleared not only a personal best, but a New York State record for a 15-year old.
It was one of the highlights of the event as she was swarmed and congratulated by all of the other competitors. Her father was doing video replay during the event and was visibly emotional after watching his daughter set yet another record. Mike “Mr. Good Times” Ferguson was perhaps the greatest pure entertainer of the competitors as he kept the crowd engaged between jumps, but he also came in with quite the resumé himself. He is a two-time Rochester Rockback silver medalist as well as the USATF Niagara District bronze medalist. Chris Brehl is the Brockport track and field coach and set records at both Gates High School and Brockport State. He is the Empire State Games bronze medalist. Zack Ferrara is a 2013 Brockport graduate and actually broke Brehl’s school record in the pole vault – a record which he still holds today. He was a three-time All-American and the 2013 Division III national champion. Kelly Truppo is a 2015 University of Buffalo graduate who set school records at Alden High School and won the 2010 NYS championship. She was ranked nationally in the top-25 of Division I pole vaulters in 2015. Those six added a lot to the event, but obviously everyone was there to see the one and only Jenn Suhr and she didn’t disappoint. Not only did she thrill the crowd with impeccable athletic ability and charisma, but Suhr met with fans for pictures and autographs after the pole vaulting. Connecting with the fans and thanking them for their undying support is clearly important to the gold medal-winning athlete. In addition to the pole vaulting, the crowd was treated to performances from the Fredonia High School band and the Fredonia State University cheerleading

squad. Prior to the vaulting, the crowd was also greeted by Fredonia mayor Athanasia Landis, Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame president Randy Anderson and New York State Senator Cathy Young. Adidas, which is one of Suhr’s major sponsors, gave away over $1,000 worth of prizes during the event. Those prizes included a GPS watch, sunglasses, backpacks, drawstring bags, polos and t-shirts. It was a wonderful community event that allowed Chautauqua County residents to show their love of a hometown hero and allowed Suhr to say thank you to the fans that have supported her since Day 1.

By The Numbers: 90-99 By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
Editor’s note: This is part X in a series of commentaries discussing the very best professional athletes to have ever worn each jersey number. The earlier entries can be found at chautauquastar.com. It’s been several weeks since the penultimate entry onto this list, but we’ve finally reached the end. Here are the last 10 names and numbers. There’s a good chance that this portion of the list will be comprised mostly of NFL players again, though there will be at least one very obvious exception to that rule. (Editor’s note: I was wrong. There are quite a few NHL players making an appearance on this list) No. 90: Julius Peppers, NFL — The 6-foot-6 defensive end came out of North Carolina as a can’t-miss prospect when he was drafted No. 2 overall (between quarterbacks David Carr and Joey Harrington – yikes!) by the Carolina Panthers. Since then he’s recorded double-digit sacks in nine different seasons and has 137.5 for his career. He’s now technically listed as an outside linebacker and wears No. 56 for the Packers, but he’ll forever be remembered as No. 90. In the running: Jevon Kearse, NFL — “The Freak” is one of my all-time favorite players. I remember a picture in Sports Illustrated (probably) of Kearse holding a ruler between his thumb and pinky. The guy truly was a freak. He also had double-digit sacks in each of his first three NFL seasons before injury slowed him down. He retired with 74 career sacks. No. 91: Sergei Federov, NHL — Federov won three Stanley Cups with the Detroit Red Wings, played over 1,200 NHL games, scored nearly 500 goals and won the Hart Trophy as the league’s MVP after a 120-point campaign in 1993-94. He was very good for a long time as evidenced by his 10 separate 30-goal seasons. In the running: Steven Stamkos, NHL — Yes, he’s only 26 years old, but when you enter the league at 18, you have time to put up some serious stats. Stamkos already has two Maurice Richard Trophies as the league’s top goal scorer and had three straight 90-point seasons from 2009-2011. No. 92: Reggie White, NFL — White retired as the NFL’s all-time sack leader with 198. While Bruce Smith did pass him in stats, White might still be remembered as the best at getting to the quarterback. In 1987, White put up 21 sacks in just 12 games. The next year he again led the league with 18 sacks. In a threeyear span, White amassed a ridiculous 57 sacks. In the running: Michael Strahan, NFL — Another sack master, Strahan broke the single-season record with 22.5 sacks in 2001. He had another 18.5 in 2003. He actually started his career slowly, but really took off and had a brilliant career. No. 93: Dwight Freeney, NFL — Freeney entered the NFL out of Syracuse and took the league by storm, recording double-digit sacks in each of his first four seasons – including a league-high 16 in 2004. He
remained one of the NFL’s best defensive players for the better part of a decade. At 36 years old now, he’s more of a role player for Atlanta, but expect him to add to that 119.5 career sacks. In the running: Doug Gilmour, NHL — Gilmour won the Selke Trophy as the league’s best defensive forward in 1992-93, but was in the running for it seemingly every year. He had 14 seasons of at least 20 goals and put up three seasons of at least 100 points. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2011. No. 94: Charles Haley, NFL — There are players who wore No. 94 that might have slightly better individual stats than Haley, but what Haley has is FIVE Super Bowl rings. Haley also amassed 100.5 sacks in his 13year career. He was finally inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2015. In the running: DeMarcus Ware, NFL — Another longtime Dallas Cowboy, Ware was a huge reason why Denver was able to win the Super Bowl last season. Unfortunately he’s out for a few weeks with a broken arm, but he’ll surely be adding to those 136.5 career sacks when he returns. No. 95: Richard Dent, NFL — The 1985 Bears defense is widely regarded as the best of all time. While superstars Mike Singletary and William “Refrigerator” Perry were key, Dent was the unit’s best player. Dent racked up 17 sacks and a pair of interceptions that season. He also won the Super Bowl MVP that season. In the running: none. No. 96: Cortez Kennedy, NFL — It’s hard for a defensive tackle to rack up too many stats, but Kennedy’s value was proven when he was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2012. He was also named the 1992 Defensive Player of the Year after a 14-sack, 92-tackle season – no easy task for a DT. In the running: none. No. 97: Jeremy Roenick, NHL — From 1991-92 to 1993-94, Roenick put together three straight 100-point seasons, including a pair of 50-goal seasons. He ended his career with 513 goals and over 1,200 points. He didn’t rack up the accolades during his career, but the extended brilliance can’t be denied. In the running: Simeon Rice, NFL — Wow. It’s too bad that the annals of history seem to have forgotten Rice because he was legitimately great. In his first 10 seasons, he missed just two games and recorded double-digit sacks in eight of those seasons. No. 98: Julian Peterson, NFL — This appears to be an unpopular number. I had to do some serious digging to find anyone worthwhile. Peterson only wrapped up his career in 2010, but I had already forgotten about him. He played on some bad teams, but did put up some good stats and made five Pro Bowls. In the running: Jessie Armstead, NFL — Another linebacker whose career overlapped with Peterson, Armstead made five Pro Bowls – all with the New York Giants. No. 99: Wayne Gretzky, NHL — For my money, Gretzky might just be the most dominant athlete in his respective sport of all time. Gretzky isn’t just the greatest hockey player of all time, he’s the greatest by a wide margin. You can’t even really make a realistic argu-
It’s fitting to end this list of the greatest player to ever wear each jersey number with The Great One himself. (AP Photo)
ment for anyone else. If you take away The Great One’s NHL record 894 goals, he still has more points than anyone who has ever played because of his ludicrous 1,963 career assists. In the running: Warren Sapp, NFL — Not that Sapp is really in the running, but he was a great player who deserves mentioning as one of the greatest nose tackles the NFL has ever seen. That’s it. From Nos. 00-100 the greatest players to ever wear each jersey number (in the four major North American sports). Who did I miss? Who would you include as an honorable mention?

It didn’t always go straight, but it was Star Sports Editor more from not being lined up right than slicing or hooking, etc. My brother Mark and I grew up playing sports The first two holes were rough going for Mark as together. That’s basically all we did – all day, every he knocked off the rust. He was swinging out of day.

But as if someone flipped a switch, everything So when I started golfing five years ago, I knew that changed on hole No. 3. He hit a very pretty, low drive I needed to golf with my brother. Unfortunately, he right down the fairway. That wasn’t too shocking bewas in Malawi, Africa in the Peace Corps at the time. cause he had already hit a couple of nice drives. But Well, he came back and we played several rounds his second shot was a dandy, hitting the front of the that summer. It was awesome and still hold up as green and rolling just off the side. A nice little chip some of the most fun rounds of golf I’ve ever played. set up a very makeable par putt, but he choked a little bit and settled for bogey. Still, compared to those Well, then Mark moved to San Francisco. Then first two holes, this one looked like a totally different Mark moved to Maine. So we haven’t played golf golfer. together in several years.

He hadn’t played in years and just listen, but he’s able to change his mechanics to I had only played once in the month of September, use that knowledge.

Of course, my drive has been my As for myself, No. 3 also signaled a bit of a change in issue all season long anyway, so maybe it wasn’t that luck for me. My drive wasn’t excellent, but better than bad. Boy I miss being able to drive the ball into the the first two.

I’m not sure if others have experienced this, but when That one summer when Mark was golfing a little I was golfing several times a week, my confidence bit, he actually didn’t use a driver. He was actually on the green was sky high. Driving, the iron game, pretty good off the tee with a long iron, so that’s wedges – those things came and went as the season what he used.

less of green speed or elevation. I expected to make everything I hit. Well…that wasn’t quite the case this time out. The confidence was totally gone and as a result I had a few putting hiccups. On No. 4, for instance, I had a nice easy 15-foot putt yet blew my ball right past the cup and missed the return putt as well. Three-putts are bad enough, but from within 15 feet is unacceptable. I had another awful three-putt on No. 9. With Bob (the head greens keeper) watching, I hit a nice-looking 6-iron right onto the green. It wasn’t an easy birdie putt or anything, but anything worse than par wasn’t even an option. Of course, then I hit my first putt way too hard again. If you’ve ever played golf with me (or even read this column before), you probably know that I’m a chronic short-putter. I get way too cute sometimes and leave the ball an inch short of the cup. So to be hitting multiple putts way too hard was extremely out of character for me. I miss that putting confidence I had all summer long. I actually finished with a 44, which is probably about my average. I usually shoot for at least three pars (or better) in a nine-hole round. I only had two pars (Nos. 3 and 6), so that was a little disappointing, but the fact that I didn’t blow up any holes was nice. Those 7’s or 8’s on a scorecard are hard to stomach. Mark’s 59 is probably better than he expected. Again, after those first two holes he only had one blow-up hole. He hit an amazing drive on No. 8 and certainly had more good shots than bad on the final seven holes. I’m really hoping to get out again with him this weekend. In fact, we were supposed to play today but it’s just too darn rainy. As always, golf is great. Go get some. Stefan Gestwicki is the sports editor of the Chautauqua Star.

SELF-PROCLAIMED EXPERT PICKS: WEEK 5, CONTINUED FORM PAGE 39 Manning looks extremely uncomfortable behind that offensive line and the Packers can get after the quarterback. Aaron Rodgers and Co. are coming off their early bye, which they needed after injuries to Clay Mathews, Jared Cook, Blake Martinez and others. PICK VS. TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS (1-3) SPREAD: Packers (-7). STRAIGHT at CAROLINA PANTHERS (1-3) PICK: Packers.
These were two teams that entered the season with sky-high hopes. A damp blanket has quickly been thrown over both teams, however. Jameis Winston continues to be a turnover machine. He makes highlight reel plays and the talent is there, but something he can’t continue to give the ball away. The Panthers lost just one game during the 2015
regular season, but have already tripled that. The defense just got torched for 500 passing yards. A home game against the Bucs might be just what the doctor ordered. PICK VS. SPREAD: Panthers (-6). STRAIGHT PICK: Panthers

Devils Dealt Non-Conference Loss By Alfred Contributed Article FSU Sports Information Dept.
Fredonia freshman Matt Casey (Williamsville, N.Y. / Williamsville South) scored his first collegiate goal in the Blue Devils' 2-1 men's soccer loss Tuesday to Alfred University. Casey scored unassisted in the 32nd minute to forge a 1-1 tie. Alfred's Richard Lander broke the tie in the 60th minute to drop the Blue Devils to 8-3-1. Chris Gutierrez made two saves for Alfred while Fredonia's Ty Bentham (Columbus, Ind./Columbus North) was credited with four stops. Alfred (7-3-1) had a 15-6 advantage in shots. Kyle Craver opened the scoring for the Saxons in the fourth minute. "We got off to our usual (slow) start tonight, but battled back," Fredonia coach P.J. Gondek said. "In the second half, we tried to press to get the tying goal. We had one cleared off the line and another off the side (of the net)." Earlier Tuesday, the Blue Devils

learned they had dented the National Soccer Coaches Association of America East Region rankings for the second time this season -- this time at No. 9. They were ranked No. 10 two weeks
ago. They will put that ranking to the test this weekend when they travel to East No. 4 Cortland on Friday and visit
Oswego on Saturday in a pair of SUNYAC road tests. The Blue Devils are 2-1 in the conference.
Milestones In Reach Of 8-2 Blue Devils Contributed Article FSU Sports Information Dept.
Fredonia defeated Pitt-Bradford, 8-1, in women's tennis Monday to match the 2013 team for wins in a season. The Blue Devils are 8-2 heading into their regular-season finale Wednesday vs. Medaille. The non-conference match is 4 p.m. on the Steele Hall courts. The 2013 team had an 8-5 record in Joe Calarco's final season as head coach. The Blue Devils have had seasons of 5-8 and 6-7 prior to this season under head coach Greg Catalano. Other individual milestones could be met or exceeded this week -- capped off with the SUNYAC Tournament at the Binghamton Tennis Center. Fredonia, seeded No. 2 in the East, will take on Plattsburgh, the East's No. 3 seed, at 2 p.m. Saturday. The Blue Devils are guaranteed a second tournament match Sunday. Anna Chiacchia (Hamburg, N.Y./Hamburg), a freshman, improved to 9-1 this season with a 6-0, 6-0 win Monday at No. 2 singles. She is currently tied with three other women for most singles wins in a season dating back to 1999. Tied for No. 9 on the season singles list with seven each this season are senior Halee Dickinson (Brockport, N.Y./Brockport) and sophomore Adriana Speach (Baldwinsville, N.Y./C.W. Baker), both of whom added to their singles win total Monday.
