You’re locked in a room. There’s no obvious way out. You only have an hour until certain doom. Terror-inducing nightmare? Hardly. That’s the setting for the entertainment trend that’s been taking the nation by storm – escape rooms. So what exactly is an escape room? “It’s essentially an interactive puzzle game,” Jared Reichman, owner of Lock & Key Escape Room in Buffalo explained. “We stick you in a room and you and your group has an hour to solve the puzzle and escape the room. We have a zombie-themed room and a room set in the 1920’s where you’re trying to solve the disappearance of a fortune teller.”

It’s those themes that really make escape rooms a must-try experience. “Every different venue has different games,” Michael Gersitz, manager of Escape Room Buffalo in Tonawanda shared. “We have three different rooms here. We have The Bank Robbery. We have Prison Break, which is a very unique one. We split the team

into two cells and each group has to break out of their cells and reunite. Then we have The Time Machine.” Escape rooms can trace their history back to 2006 with the first actual company – Real Escape Game – being formed in 2008 by Japanese publishing company Kyoto.

you share your concerns with your spouse. Your husband will be more receptive to loving tones, rather than harsh, critical ones. If you have a “fighting” attitude, he will probably become defensive and you won’t resolve anything. Rather than creating a peaceful refuge in the home, you will be providing him with an excuse to “escape” to his work. What you say is also important. Rather than saying “you always work late,” it’s more productive to say “I feel lonely and we miss you when you work late.” Remember, its God’s desire that you and your husband are in unity. Being open to God’s direction through His Word and prayer will help to generate the open communication and fulfillment that are desired in a godly marriage.

CAN YOU ESCAPE?, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 started to trickle across Asia and into Europe before crossing over to the United States and Canada. According to a MarketWatch story, there were some 2,800 escape room venues worldwide in 2015. That number has certainly only increased. There are several reasons why escape rooms have become all the rage. First of all, they’re essentially physical versions of the already popular “escape the room” genre of video games that includes such games as “Shadowgate” or “Déjá Vu” among many others. Another reason for the soaring popularity is social aspect of the activity. This isn’t sitting in silence watching a movie or waiting for your food to arrive while everyone stares at their cell phones. Communication is key to a group’s success and the experience can lead to stories that will be shared for years. “Everyone loves a good mystery and getting involved,” Dominic Luongo, owner of Queen City Escape Rooms in Buffalo noted. “We’ll have those dads that get dragged along and they’ll be sitting in the lobby with their arms crossed mumbling to themselves. As soon as they get in the room, they’ll hear someone trying to solve one of the puzzles and they’ll jump right into it.” “They’re so popular because they’re so fun,” Gersitz added. “You’re with your friends, working together and figuring stuff out. It’s different and it’s fun.” The seemingly endless variety of themes in and around Buffalo alone – they’re also extremely popular in Toronto — assures that people can continue to test their puzzle-solving skills to their heart’s content. It does beg the question, though — who comes up with all of these different puzzles? “We found a company that designs them and we bought our first one just to get the company started,” Reichman explained. “With our second room, I designed that one myself. “There’s quite a bit of play-testing involved,” he continued. “You don’t want people to get out in 20 minutes, but at the same time it needs to be accessible to people that have never done an escape room before.” Designing their company’s rooms seems to be something that owners and managers not only can do, but thoroughly enjoy doing. “I personally love the challenge of coming up with our own puzzles and themes,” Luongo said. “Movies and TV shows make for some great settings and themes. “We make them all family friendly, too,” he added. “We’ve had people of all ages come and enjoy each of the rooms. Our gumshoe rooms we kept novice. Our 7 Wonders room is our expert room. We’re still feeling out the Strange Escape, which is our newest room.” These escape room venues also make for great locations for birthday parties, corporate team-building exercises, bachelor/bachelorette parties and more. “We’ve done pretty much every type of party,” Gersitz said. “We have a private room where you can

bring food and hang out afterwards.” “Kids’ birthday parties, bachelor parties, Christmas parties corporate parties – we do it all,” Luongo echoed. “We have room battles where two rooms can race against each other. It’s not quite like Mario Kart but it feels that way when we’re watching them on the monitors.” Each escape room locale has its own clue system in place. The very best groups might be able to escape without the use of clues, but there’s no risk of getting stuck for 20 minutes. These escape rooms are to be designed to be fun, not frustrating. The consensus among escape room participants is overwhelmingly positive. The following are some testimonials from people who have tried their hand at these puzzles. “I loved escape the room,” Emily Chaffee of Dunkirk raved. “It was one of the coolest things I have ever done. The puzzles were challenging but not too challenging. It was cool to work together with everyone who came. It only has a 20 percent escape rate and we did it with 42 seconds to spare!” “We went to one for a bachelorette party and everyone had a great time,” Kim Maternowski of Fredonia shared. “We had guests of all ages and it was something we could all do together.” “I did one in Boston, Massachusetts with my family,” Amy Benzing of Angola said. “It was a cool experience. We did not get out though, which was disappointing as we are all very competitive. It only had about a 20 percent success rate.” “The more minds you have the better,” Kristen Ra-
jewski, originally from Dunkirk, advised. “You really have to look at everything in the room so bring lots of friends for help.” “Just give it a try,” Reichman concluded. “Whether you get out or you don’t get out, it’s really a lot of fun. It’s something unlike anything you’ve one and once you do one, you’ll want to try another.” ABOUT LOCK & KEY ESCAPE ROOM Lock & Key Escape Room is located at 504 Elmwood Ave in Buffalo with the entrance on the side of the building.

The Floral Industry Is Ready To Petal It Forward!

Contributed Article Petal It Forward
On October 19, 2016, the Society of American Florists and florists nationwide will randomly surprise people on the street with flowers in almost 200 cities in 47 states. Lucky recipients will receive two bouquets — one to keep, and one to share with a friend, family member, co-worker, or even a complete stranger. There will be a lot of smiles going around as the country experiences flower power. Whether it’s paying for a fellow commuter’s toll, or leaving a generous restaurant tip, “pay it forward” actions are all the rage. News coverage on people spreading kindness has evolved into an ongoing feel-good story on traditional and social media channels across the U.S. For the second year in a row, SAF is taking part in this feel-good trend through its Petal It Forward campaign, leveraging study findings on how flowers have an immediate impact on happiness and a long-term positive effect on moods (and that people report the best reason to receive flowers is “just because”). The campaign aims to generate media coverage (through both social and traditional media outlets) highlighting the benefits of flowers — the positive impact flowers have in our work productivity and emotional state — and positioning SAF websites (aboutflowers.com and aboutflowersblog.com) as viable resources for consumers.

uses cutting-edge science to bring out the best in people. In her books, she teaches individuals how gratitude and generosity can result in greater happiness, health and feelings of human connectivity. “Gift recipients experience compelling connections with givers, and the positive link is particularly evident in the exchange of flowers,” says Ryan. “In my everyday work with individuals, CEOs and leadership teams at some of the world’s top global companies, I see the powerful implications of gratitude and appreciation.” According to Ryan, a simple call to the florist can make a big impact beyond conventional gifting occasions. Some of her favorite, unexpected gifting opportunities include surprise recognition for a job well done; an “I miss you” gift for an out-of-town family member; and an advance “thanks for hosting us” gesture before visiting a friend’s house. “A successful person is not necessarily someone with a lot of money and material goods, but rather someone who is in tune with people and knows how to touch their hearts,” says Ryan. “I can think of no other item besides flowers that evokes such positive feelings and perceptions for both the giver and the recipient.”

Valley Historical Society Hosts Civil War Relative as Speaker Contributed Article Valley Historical Society
The Valley Historical Society recently held their monthly meeting in the Sinclairville Firehall with guest speaker Alvin Parker, relative of the Civil War Brigadier General Ely S. Parker. The record number of people in attendance were welcomed by President Larry Barmore, who led everyone in the Lord's Prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance. Secretary Mary Shearman read the minutes of the previous meeting. Barmore announced that the 18th annual History Fair held recently was successful, and that the rains held off all day until 8:02 p.m. just as the fireworks display began. Parker spoke of the life and times of Ely S. Parker who served in the Civil War. Ely Parker was appointed as Captain of the Volunteer Army in 1861 at the beginning of the war by President Abraham Lincoln, and was present at the surrender at Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865. On the 150th anniversary of the surrender, Alvin Parker was in attendance at Appomattox being a relative of Ely Parker. Parker spoke for a long time on the history of Ely Parker, and the history of the Indians for the last 140 years. A fine talk was enjoyed by the many present. Following the program, refreshments were provided and served by Bonnie Larkin, Charles Sylvester, Diman Smith, Diane Shaw and treasurer John Sipos. Sylvester thanked all for the arrangements for the evening's program and to the people for their attendance.

The Valley Historical Society had its beginnings in 1977 by John and Ruth Smith, and Rev. John Rough. One year later the museum building at the corner of Main and Lester Streets was purchased. President Barmore appointed Ms. Shaw, Elsie Livermore and Linda Parmenter as the nominating committee for officers for the historical society for 2017. The next gathering of the historical society will be at the Cassadaga American Legion Hall on Tuesday November 1 at 7 p.m. with guest speaker Todd Langworthy, Pomfret Historian.

This year’s event brought together more than 300 people for the exciting day, which included a two-mile awareness/fundraising walk, cook out and pet costume contest. “It’s amazing to see the community support our mission,” said Jeff Lubi, Executive Director for the CCHS. “With their help, we are able to meet our goals, which allows us to meet the needs of the unwanted, homeless and abused animals of our communities, said Lubi.” The top three individuals and teams were announced at the event and will receive awards at a later date. Ellie Hartnagel was the first place individual collecting $1,626 and TRC Paw Walkers as the top team, raising $1,811. The pet costume contest winner was awarded to a dog with a cat attached to its back. “Every time I hear a story about an abused animal it motivates me to help,” said top fundraiser Ellie Hartnagel. “When I see my dogs lying in a warm, comfortable environment, it motivates me to help. Walking into CCHS and seeing how clean and well-staffed it is, makes my heart happy,” said Hartnagel. “Through the years I have watched all the changes and improvements that CCHS has made and feel very confident that the money I raise is going to improve the conditions and care for animals.” CCHS would like to extend their sincere appreciation to all those who volunteered and/or donated to the 2016 Walk 4 Paws. The success of the event was made possible by the sponsors and those that volunteered and went out and solicited donations. This year’s lead sponsor was Petco Foundation. Additional sponsors included Chautauqua Chemicals Company, The Greater Chautauqua Federal Credit Union, Ed Shults Auto Group, Alpha Dog Marketing, Chautauqua Institution, Clark Patterson Lee, Dog Speak, Fessenden, Laumer & DeAngelo, Jamestown Electro Plating, King’s Heating and Sheet Metal, Lockwood Agency, Magnum Graf-X, Southern Tier Financial- Dave Switala and John LaBardo, and UBS Financial Services. This year’s media sponsors were The Post Journal and the five stations of Media One Group. Media One Group is the official media sponsor of CCHS.

"A Harvest Moon Cemetery Tour" Travels Once Again In Fredonia, NY Contributed Article FestivalsFredonia
"One of the most beautiful cemeteries in Western New York is Forest Hill..." So begins a history of the cemetery located in Fredonia. On October 21 and 22, FestivalsFredonia - noted for its "History & Ghost Tours" - will host horse-drawn trolley tours every half hour through historic cemetery. The tours begin at 7 p.m. and run until 10 p.m. The trolleys will load passengers at the Gazebo in Barker Commons Park on Church St. and return to the same area. Each year the trolley tours sell out – don’t be left standing in the cold – call now to order your tickets. If you think that cemeteries are just places where the departed rest, you are quite mistaken. Apart from preserving the memory of those near and dear, cemeteries are art galleries, horticultural gardens, history museums, and puzzles to be deciphered. And no better place to experience this than Fredonia's Forest Hill on Lambert Avenue. Forest Hill Cemetery, adjacent to Pioneer Cemetery with its origins in the early 19th century, is in many ways a time capsule of the town's history. Forest Hill Cemetery is still an active cemetery where our dearly departed are still placed for final rest each day, as they have been for almost 200 years. From monuments commemorating our founders' families, Fredonia's national heroes, Revolutionary, Union and Confederate soldiers, and artists, to entrepreneurs and industrialists who also gained wide recognition, each turn in the cemetery's pathways uncovers stories that should not remain a secret. Take, for example, the story of the Koch family, Otto Koch was a prominent businessman and undertaker in Bradford, PA, but was originally from the area. In 1906 Mr. Koch became a major share holder in the Kendall Refinery and was known for introducing the slogan "Kendall, the 2,000 Mile Oil", which helped propel Kendall as a leading manufacturer for the automobile oil industry in the 1920's and 30's. Another founder of the Community, Dr. Squire White, is also laid to rest in Forest Hill. He was the first physician to set up practice in Chautauqua County and was an Uncle to the Cushing Brothers who served bravely in the Civil War. The property now occupied by The White Inn, which was once the exclusive domain of the Indians, came into the hands of Dr. Squire White early in the nineteenth century. In 1811 he erected a frame house on the site, making it the permanent residence of the White family. Hear tales of the White Inn's grisly murder/suicide and a former owner who can't bear to leave - hauntings, sightings and occurrences -all recent. Care to book a room with more than a view? Ever wonder why is there a large oval pattern within the cemetery? How about the "hauntings" as a result of the Normal School fire, the notorious hanging of Joseph Damon that failed - once - or the sightings and cries of those who died too young? For nearly two hundred years Forest Hill has been a place for souls at "rest", souls who have "gone home" and some who aren't quite sure yet. There are tales to excite, amaze, and unnerve even the most enlightened history buff. The tour winds its way through the dark cemetery- through heroes, founding members and some of the most notoriously scary villains. The tour is recommended for those ages 8 and up, but on occasion even some of the local residents from Forest Hill older than 108 often enjoy joining us for the tours. Once again, reservations are a must and seating is limited on the trolleys, there will only be seven (7) trolleys each night, so don't wait to book your tour into the past. Call 716-679- 0697, to get the details and order your tickets now. Tickets are $12.50 each, which includes refreshments at tour's end- tours will run rain or shine and tickets are non-refundable. Discounts are offered for groups of 14 or more.

Apple Crisp
By Katy Wise Contributing Writer
It's apple season! As I'm sure you have already noticed, fall is underway, and that means apples and pumpkins galore. This past weekend we made a trip out to Harvest Happenings in Sheridan, and had lots of fun. Each kiddo got to pick out a pumpkin and I got to spend less than $2! If you haven't checked it out yet, I highly recommend it. One thing we did forget while we were there is apples. Which means we will have to make a return trip soon! A few weeks ago, however, we did go apple picking. Apple picking always means apple crisp in our house. My husband has actually come to expect it. We come home, wash and peel our apples and then bake. Apple crisp is one of the simplest recipes ever. It's really pretty foolproof. Well, at least this one is. You can complicate baked goods as much as you want, but sometimes the classic and simple recipes are the very best. Side note, you should see how dirty the 'Apple Crisp' page of my cook book is, it's almost embarassing... At least it isn't a cook book that goes unused! Every apple smear is proof. So here is my apple crisp recipe, enjoy! Ingredients Sliced and peeled apples • 5 Cups • 2-4 Tbsp. Granulated sugar • 1/2 Cup Rolled oats (quick oats work well) • 1/2 Cup Brown sugar, packed • 1/4 Cup Flour • 1/4 tsp. Cinnamon
• 1/4 Cup Butter, softened (not melted!) Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare baking pan by spraying with nonstick spray, size 8x8 or 9x9. If you have a lot of apples, this recipe does well doubled and baked in a 9x13 pan. Coat apples with sugar. The amount of sugar is completely up to you. I used 3 tablespoons last time because our apples were bitter. Sweet apples like honeycrisp or Macintosh won't need as much. Place apples in pan and start preparing topping. Using a medium mixing bowl, combine oats, brown sugar, flour and cinnamon. You can add a little bit of nutmeg to this mixture if you'd like. Stir together and then add butter.
This is the part that I like to use a stand mixer for if I am in a rush. If you don't have a stand mixer, or you have time to spare, hands work the best! Squish or mix the butter and oat mixture together until you have a variety of crumbles. Sprinkle on top of apples. This is the part where perfectionists can encounter a slight struggle. But you can't and won't fill in every little apple crevice. Trust me, I've tried. Just do the best you can and the oven will take care of the rest. Bake for 30 minutes. For the absolute best results, serve warm with vanilla ice cream. As always, thanks for reading, and happy Fall baking from HBK!

Der Kobblers Midway Car Show Benefits WCA Diabetes Education Contributed Article WCA Hospital
Members of the Der Kobblers Automobile Association recently donated $3,500 to the WCA Hospital Diabetes Self-Management Program which represented proceeds from their 2016 Labor Day Cruise-In Car Show at Midway Park. This gift will enable WCA to purchase educational materials and tools, including measuring utensils to assist patients who have diabetes with portion control and empower them to make healthier food choices. “The diabetes education provided by WCA Hospital is critical to this community,” says Sam Ognibene, Der Kobblers Board member. “Der Kobblers is pleased to once again partner with WCA so that patients can live a longer and healthier life.” Sam and Der Kobblers also wanted to thank all of the sponsors and community members who supported the event. If it wasn’t for everyone involved, they wouldn’t be able to provide support to so many in the community. Over the last eight years, Der Kobblers has donated over $12,000 to WCA Hospital. These gifts have been used to furnish the diabetes teaching classrooms, including a laptop, screen, and food models, to better educate patients how to manage diabetes and provide tools they can utilize to change their lifestyles. Last year, proceeds were used to purchase

Opera House to Present Scottish Folk Band North Sea Gas Contributed Article Fredonia Opera House
North Sea Gas, one of Scotland’s most popular folk bands and winner of multiple Gold and Silver Disc awards from the Scottish Music Industry Association, will perform at the 1891 Fredonia Opera House on Fri., Oct. 14, at 7:30 p.m., as part of its month-long 2016 U.S. tour. Known for its fantastic musicianship and tremendous three-part harmonies, which have been entertaining audiences worldwide for more than three decades, the band combines guitars, mandolin, fiddle, bouzouki, whistles, bodhrans and banjo with good humor to entertain sell-out audiences from China to Turkey to Canada and the U.S. Ronnie MacDonald, Grant Simpson and Dave Gilfillan comprise the group. Over the years, the three have released 18 albums and are constantly adding new material to their shows. The band's "The Fire and the Passion of Scotland," CD was named by Celtic Radio (USA) as the 2013 Album of the Year. In October 2014, four albums were awarded gold and silver status by the Scottish Music Industry. And, 2015 saw the release of "Fire in the Glen," the band's most recent CD. In performances, the band regularly mixes traditional, contemporary and self-penned material all put together in a style of its own. The trio has made numerous television appearances on both sides of the Atlantic, including on Late Night Saturday, Bound for Glory, Woodsongs Old Time Radio Hour and Song of the Mountains. In 2008, the band recorded for Chinese television with an estimated audience of 800 million – a highlight of any artist’s career. Gilfillan is the band’s lead singer and a founding member. Originally from Edinburgh, Scotland, he plays guitar, banjo, mandola, bodhran, foot drum, harmonica and whistle. A full-time professional musician for the past 23 years, Gilfillan also is a qualified carpenter! He has built a reputation for rousing sing-alongs, tongue-in-cheek humor and prompting fun on the stage,

but he also is quite adept at big heartfelt ballads. Originally from Glasgow, Scotland, MacDonald is another founding member of North Sea Gas, although he left the band for 15 years to form his own group in Australia. He returned to Scotland eight years ago and rejoined North Sea Gas. MacDonald plays guitar and bouzouki, as well as several other instruments, and sings both lead and harmony vocals. The youngest member of the group is Simpson, whose fiddle playing The Scotsman called “phenomenal ... he can play that fiddle like a man possessed.” Originally from Lossiemouth in the northeast of Scotland, he now lives in Edinburgh. He sings harmony vocals and the occasional solo, and also plays guitar, bouzouki and mandola. Tickets to North Sea Gas are $17 ($15 Opera House members) and may be purchased in person at the Opera
House Box Office or by phone at 716679-1891, Tuesday-Friday, 1-5 p.m. Tickets may be purchased online at www.fredopera.org anytime.

The next feature film in the Opera House Cinema Series is “Other People,” starring Molly Shannon and acclaimed newcomer Jesse Plemons. It will be screened on Sat., Oct. 15, and Tues., Oct. 18, at 7:30 p.m. In “Other People,” David is a struggling comedy writer (Plemons), fresh from a breakup and in the midst of the worst year of his life, who moves to Sacramento to help his sick mother (Shannon). Living with his conservative father and younger sisters, David feels like a stranger in his childhood home. As his mother worsens, he tries to convince everyone (including himself) he’s doing okay. Richard Roeper, in the Chicago Tribune, calls the film “smart, lovely, funny, occasionally edgy, slightly cynical and ultimately heart-tugging.” Gary Goldstein, in the Los Angeles Times, calls it “a terrific film. Anyone who's ever lost a parent, longed for love and acceptance, or tried to find his or her true self should easily relate.” Daniel Gold, in The New York Times, says “the film belongs to Ms. Shannon, who vividly etches Joanne in a full end-of-life range: funny, loving, angry, regretful, exhausted and resigned.” Unrated, “Other People” runs 97 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 CONTINUED ON PAGE 25

N.C.C.S. HOLDS ‘PUTT-ING CHILDREN FIRST’ GOLF TOURNAMENT By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
The inaugural ‘Putt-ing Children First’ Golf Tournament was held at Shorewood Country Club on Monday afternoon. The tournament benefits Northern Chautauqua Catholic School in Dunkirk. “My husband is a golf professional and my children are all learning to play golf,” tournament chair Margaret Harrington said. “I thought this would be a great way to support our school.” Tournaments this late in the season can be risky, but while the temperature wasn’t as high as it could have been, the sun was shining from start to finish. “We got very fortunate,” Harrington admitted with a sigh of relief. “It’s a little chilly, but it’s beautiful.” There were 16 teams of four preregistered, but Harrington was hoping a few more would come day of. Those teams were comprised of a nice mix of people with ties to N.C.C.S., members at Shorewood and just folk from the community supporting a good cause. Golfers all received an embroidered towel, a bag of tees, lunch and dinner. The dinner was sponsored by ADD Lumber while the lunch sponsor was Blasdell Pizza. The money raised from the

tournament — which includes registration, a 50-50 drawing and mulligan sales — isn’t allocated for any one specific project, but instead will help the school continue to thrive while so many Catholic schools in the Diocese of Buffalo have closed in recent years. “We use it for field trips, teacher appreciation gifts, new equipment we might need for sports and music and then any classroom items that might be needed,” Harrington explained.
To the surprise of no one, Shorewood Country Club was in great condition despite a season of supremely unusual weather. “They’ve been great to work with,” Harrington said of the Shorewood staff. “The golf pro Brad Smith has been phenomenal. He’s been with me every step of the way. Even though my husband is a golf pro, Brad has been my go-to person.” Realizing that the middle of October is pushing her luck with the weather, Harrington
has already scheduled next year’s event for earlier in the year. “I didn’t come up with the idea until August,” she admitted. “We’ve already scheduled our tournament date and it’ll be every spring now. It’ll be May 22, 2017 next time.” Be sure to follow the school on its Facebook page, “Northern Chautauqua Catholic School” to stay up to date with information on next year’s tournament as well as all of the other events at the school.

Milestone Watch: NHL Edition
By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
There have already been MLB and NFL editions of the Milestone Watch in the Chautauqua Star this year. With the National Hockey League regular season beginning this week, it’s time for the NHL edition. Also be sure to check out my NHL preseason power rankings in this issue. All of these stats are found at www.hockey-reference. com. 750 GOALS — Jaromir Jagr, Florida Panthers: The ageless Jagr’s career began way back in 1990 and he’s still going strong as evidenced by his 27-goal, 66-point campaign last season. He needs just one goal to reach 750 goals – a number reached only by Wayne Gretzky (894) and Gordie Howe (801). 500 GOALS — Marian Hossa, Chicago Blackhawks and Patrick Marleau, San Jose Sharks: Only three active players ( Jagr, Jarome Iginla, Alex Ovechkin) have scored 500 career goals, but that club is about to grow to five. Hossa (499) sits just one away, but has noticeably slowed at 37 years old. He should also reach 600 career assists this season. Marleau (481) helped the Sharks to the Stanley Cup Finals last year with a 25-goal campaign. He should reach 500 later in the season. 400 GOALS — Shane Doan, Arizona Coyotes and Rick Nash, New York Rangers: Doan (396) and Nash (393) are within spitting distance of the 400-goal mark. Only 91 men in the history of the game have reached that number. Even at 39 years old, Doan netted 28 goals last season. Nash is just 32 years old. He only scored 15 goals in an injury-shortened season, but found the back of the net 42 times in 2014-15. 1,000 ASSISTS — Joe Thornton, San Jose Sharks: Thornton has already had a Hall of Fame career, but reaching a number like 1,000 will be a nice feather in his cap. At 964, he’s still little ways off from 1k, but the 37-year old Thornton tallied 63 assists last season so he’s a good bet to get there shortly after the AllStar break. 1,000 POINTS — Henrik Sedin, Vancouver Canucks; Alex Ovechkin, Washington Capitals and Sidney Crosby, Pittsburgh Penguins: Sedin has been an assist machine since entering the league in 2000. At 970 points entering the season, he’s a sure-fire bet to get to 1,000 sooner rather than later. Twin brother Daniel Sedin needs 58 points to reach that lofty number. Wouldn’t it be something if they somehow did it on the same play? Henrik sets up Daniel for both players’ 1,000th point. On the other side is the goal-scoring phenom that is Ovechkin. He’s led the league in goals for four straight seasons (six total) and needs just 34 points to reach four digits. He’s still just 31 years old. Crosby is the furthest away from 1,000 at just 938, but considering just how good this guy is,

those 62 points don’t really seem like that many. He’ll get there this season. 300 WINS — Henrik Lundquist, New York Rangers: Among active goalies, only Roberto Luongo (436) has more wins than King Henrik’s 374. In fact, only 13 other players in history have won more games than Lundquist. Not only could the Rangers’ star reach the 400-win milestone, but he could sneak into the top 10 most wins of all time. Grant Fuhr is currently 10th at 403 wins. Considering he’s won at least 30 games in every season except for the strikeshortened 2012-13 campaign, it’s a pretty good bet he gets there. 1,500 GAMES PLAYED — Jarome Iginla, Colorado Avalanche and Shane Doan, Arizona Coyotes: In the spirit of full disclosure, I’m not actually that big of a hockey fan. I watch some of the playoffs and pay attention to the standings and stats (because I’m a sports geek), but I wouldn’t even say that I have a favorite team. I do, however, have a favorite player – Jarome Iginla. The 39-year old winger scored his 600th goal last season and will play his 1,500 game this season. He’ll also reach 1,300 points, for what that’s worth. The guy is awesome. Doan, as mentioned above, will definitely score his 400th goal and possibly his 1,000 point this season. Two players with incredible longevity right here. 500 FRANCHISE WINS — Columbus Blue Jackets: The Blue Jackets and the Minnesota Wild are the NHL’s two newest franchises, having joined the league in 2000. Columbus is the very last NHL franchise that hasn’t reached 500 wins. It’s more sad than notable for a franchise that has just two playoff appearances in 16 seasons. 7,000 FRANCHISE POINTS — Boston Bruins:
Only one team (Montreal, 7,558) has reached this number, but Boston needs just 23 points to join the 7k Club. The Bruins are beginning their 92nd season in the league and reached their 3,000th win just this past season. Six Stanley Cups and 69 playoff appearances prove this franchise’s successful track record. 693 COACHING WINS — Lindy Ruff, Dallas Stars: The longtime Buffalo Sabres head coach and 2006 Jack Adams Award winner currently sits eighth on the all-time coaching wins list at 652 wins. Why 693 wins? That number would bump Ruff into the top five of all time. He could pass Mike Keenan (672), Pat Quinn (684) and Dick Irvin, Sr. (692). The Stars won 50 games last year and have a stacked offense again this year so we will definitely see Ruff continue to climb that leaderboard. 1,500 GAMES COACHED — Joel Quenneville, Chicago Blackhawks: Quenneville reached 800 coaching wins (801, to be exact) last year. He also moved into second place all time in coaching wins. Coach Q has led Chicago to three Stanley Cup championships and won another as a coach with the Colorado Avalanche. So 1,500 games might not be the brightest highlight on his resumé, but considering only two men in history have reached that lofty total, it bears mentioning. I’m sure I missed some, but I highly suggest poking around on hockey-reference.com. It’s a fun site at which you can learn a lot just by sorting out various stats. There is also baseball-reference.com, pro-football-reference.com and basketball-reference.com so you can pick your sport of choice. Stefan Gestwicki is the sports editor of the Chautauqua Star.

Devils, Cohen Gain Historic Wins Contributed Article FSU Sports Information Dept.
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. -- The Fredonia women's tennis team ended its season reaching the 10-win plateau, defeating Oswego in the consolation round of the SUNYAC Championships. The 10 wins are the most in recorded program history going back to 1999. The match was clinched when senior Chloe Cohen (West Hempstead, N.Y. / West Hempstead) won the deciding sets 6-2, 6-4 to give the Devils their fifth victory of the match, as they won 5-2. It was also Cohen's 20th career win, tieing Stephanie Thompson (20-21; 2011-14) on the career wins list dating back to 1999. Cohen finished her career with a 20-13 mark. Oswego took the upper hand taking two of the three double matches. Seniors Cohen and Halee Dickinson (Brockport, N.Y. / Brockport) won at second doubles, 8-1. They had also won second doubles the day before. Olivia Miller (Springwater, N.Y. / Wayland-Cohocton) and Anna Chiacchia (Hamburg, N.Y. / Hamburg) were edged 8-6 in first doubles, and Leanne Hofstead (Liverpool, N.Y. / Liverpool) and Christine Thomas (Ransomville, N.Y. / Niagara Wheatfield) dropped third doubles, 8-1. Fredonia would go on to win the next four singles matches to claim the win. Miller won 6-2, 6-2 at first singles, and Cohen at second, won 6-2, 6-4. Chiacchia won the first game at third singles, 6-2, and was leading 4-1 in the second when Cohen clinched the team victory. At fourth singles, Dickinson won in three games, 6-3, 1-6, 6-1. Adriana Speach (Baldwinsville, N.Y. / C.W. Baker) won 6-1, 6-2 at sixth singles. Chloe Karnisky was up 5-3 at fifth singles when play was suspended. The doubles team of seniors Cohen and Dickinson finished an undefeated weekend at the tournament. Fredonia finishes with a 10-3 record.

Self-Proclaimed Expert Pics: Week 6
By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
Last week vs. spread: 8-5 (.615) Last week straight: 8-5 (.615) Season vs. spread: 29-29-1 (.500) Season straight: 32-27 (.542) There were quite a few upsets last week, including a pair of formerly unbeaten teams getting knocked from their perches. Denver’s Paxton Lynch experiment didn’t work at all and Philly had rookie quarterback issues of its own. Here’s where I should point out that the Self-Proclaimed Expert called the Eagles losing to the Lions. Just saying. Tom Brady is back. Ezekiel Elliot looks like not only a Rookie of the Year, but an MVP candidate. The Bills have won three in a row. The Chargers just keep finding new ways to blow games. It’s been a fun, unpredictable season so far. To the picks! BYE WEEK: Minnesota, Tampa Bay.
DENVER BRONCOS (4-1) at SAN DIEGO CHARGERS (1-4) A short week is probably what both of these teams wanted after ugly losses last week. Denver gave Paxton Lynch his first NFL start and he was anything but impressive as the Broncos suffered their first loss of the season. The Chargers, on the other hand, were as predictable as the sun coming up in the morning, losing in heartbreaking fashion on a botched field goal snap. PICK VS. SPREAD: Chargers (+3). STRAIGHT PICK: Chargers.
SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS (1-4) at BUFFALO BILLS (3-2) The 49ers are likely making a change at quarterback. Blaine Gabbert has been just awful and the offense can’t
score. A trip across the country for a 1 o’clock game probably isn’t the remedy. Traditionally, this is the type of game the Bills lose. They’re on a bit of a run and up against an inferior opponent. A heavy dose of LeSean McCoy, though, should spell win for the Bills. PICK VS. SPREAD: 49ers (+7.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Bills.
PHILADELPHIA EAGLES (3-1) at WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM (3-2) The Eagles suffered their first loss of the season and the upcoming schedule is tough, but this is still a team that ranks fifth in points scored and second in points allowed in the entire NFL. The Football Team has quietly won three straight games after losing the first two (those two opponents are a combined 8-2, so no shame in losing there). They have to hope Josh Norman’s wrist injury is nothing serious. PICK VS. SPREAD: Football Team (+2). STRAIGHT PICK: Football Team.
CLEVELAND BROWNS (0-5) at TENNESSEE TITANS (2-3) Can anyone name the Browns quarterback? They just keep losing player after player at the position. If Cody Kessler can play, the Browns actually have a chance. The rookie from USC has actually been playing solidly for Cleveland. The Titans’ rout of Miami might not look like much, but it was important for a team coming off back-to-back one-score losses. Marcus Mariota bounced back nicely but needs sustained success to prove doubters wrong. PICK VS. SPREAD: Browns (+7). STRAIGHT PICK: Titans.

BALTIMORE RAVENS (3-2) at NEW YORK GIANTS (2-3) It’s a battle of supremely underachieving offenses in this one. Joe Flacco and the Ravens laid a big egg after Steve Smith got hurt last week. On the other side, Eli Manning has just five touchdown passes in five games – also known as the number Ben Roethlisberger gets every week. Neither team is particularly adept at running the ball, either. The Ravens fired offensive coordinator Marc Trestman. Will that help instantly? Who knows? PICK VS. SPREAD: Giants (-3). STRAIGHT PICK: Giants.
CAROLINA PANTHERS (1-4) at NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (1-3) The good news is that Cam Newton is likely to play in this game after missing last week’s loss. The bad news is that the Panthers already have four losses while the Falcons run away with the division. The Saints have a similar problem except that they aren’t the defending NFC champions. Hopes weren’t high in Louisiana to begin with. At least Drew Brees continues to light up defenses and makes the offense fun to watch. PICK VS. SPREAD: Saints (+3). STRAIGHT PICK: Saints.
JACKSONVILE JAGUARS (1-3) at CHICAGO BEARS (1-4) This has all the makings of a “who cares?” game, doesn’t it. A combined two wins has these two teams basically out of the running already. Jacksonville is coming off a bye after its win in London while Chicago is coming off an ugly loss to Indy despite Brian Hoyer throwing for nearly 400 yards. The Bears are sixth in the league in passing yards per game yet only 30th in points per game. That just doesn’t add up. Two bad teams right here. PICK VS. SPREAD: Jaguars (+2). STRAIGHT PICK: Jaguars.
LOS ANGELES RAMS (3-2) at DETROIT LIONS (2-3) The Rams’ three-game winning streak ended last week and now they’ll have to avoid a losing streak on the road. Case Keenum once again failed in mounting any type of sustained offense last week. How long until Jared Goff gets a CONTINUED ON PAGE 33
CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14, 2016
SELF PROCLAIMED EXPERT PICKS: WEEK 6, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 32 shot? The Lions temporarily saved their season with a win against previously unbeaten Philly, but this is a mediocre team at best. Still, Detroit should get this one. PICK VS. SPREAD: Rams (+3.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Lions.
PITTSBURGH STEELERS (4-1) at MIAMI DOLPHINS (1-4) To say these two teams are headed in opposite directions would be putting it mildly. While the Steelers continue to hang ridiculous offensive numbers on their opponents, the Dolphins have watched Ryan Tannehill continue to prove that he’s not capable of winning in the NFL. Not only was the Dolphins offense bad, but they couldn’t stop the Titans’ offense either. How on earth do they expect to stop Big Ben, LeVeon Bell, Antonio Brown and Co.? PICK VS. SPREAD: Steelers (-7). STRAIGHT PICK: Steelers.
CINCINNATI BENGALS (2-3) at NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS (4-1) What’s wrong with the Bengals? There’s talent all over the field and yet this team finds itself under .500. Could it just be a tough schedule? The three losses are to teams that have a combined 12-3 record. The Patriots are yet another 4-1 team on the schedule and looked unstoppable with Tom Brady back at the helm. Chris Hogan and Rob Gronkowski each went over 100 yards while Martellus Bennett caught three touchdowns. Look out, NFL! PICK VS. SPREAD: Patriots (-8). STRAIGHT PICK: Patriots.
KANSAS CITY CHIEFS (2-2) at OAKLAND RAIDERS (4-1)
SPORTS 33
The last time we saw the Chiefs, they were getting embarrassed by the Steelers in a blowout loss. They’ve since had a bye to rest and prepare for this game. Will that help? Will they have Jamal Charles back finally? Can a weak secondary contain an explosive Raiders’ passing attack? The answer to that second question is almost certainly no. With Derek Carr at the helm, this is a confident, dangerous Raiders team that should thrive at home. Note though that the Raiders haven’t won by more than one score in any of their four wins. PICK VS. SPREAD: Raiders (even). STRAIGHT PICK: Raiders.
ATLANTA FALCONS (4-1) at SEATTLE SEAHAWKS (3-1) If forced to pick the best two teams in the NFC right this moment, it would be hard to pick anyone but these two teams. Matt Ryan continues to play like the league MVP, they have a balanced running game and the defense even stepped it up last week. Seattle has to hope that the bye week gave Russell Wilson a chance to heal up. The defense is still the best in the league, but this will be a huge test. Bye week. Home game. Cross country trip. Everything points towards Seattle. PICK VS. SPREAD: Falcons (+6). STRAIGHT PICK: Seahawks.
INDIANAPOLIS COLTS (2-3) at HOUSTON TEXANS (3-2) Andrew Luck has practically been a tackling dummy this season, but his stats are actually pretty good with nearly 1,500 yards and 10 touchdown passes already. Still, protect your darn quarterback, Colts! The Texans have to be feeling a little bit of buyer’s remorse as Brock Osweiler has certainly not looked the part of a franchise quarterback. Texans are tough at home, though, with a 3-0 record already. PICK VS. SPREAD: Texans (-3). STRAIGHT PICK: Texans.
NEW YORK JETS (1-4) at ARIZONA CARDINALS (2-3) The Jets have lost by at least 10 points in three straight games and it’s not all Ryan Fitzpatrick’s fault (though a lot of it is, let’s be honest). Mo Wilkerson and Darrelle Revis have provided the defense with almost nothing. The Cardinals essentially got an extra bye this week since they last played on Thursday night. The team certainly had some issues to work out on both sides of the ball. Look for Arizona to turn things around starting this week. PICK VS. SPREAD: Jets (+8). STRAIGHT PICK: Cardinals.

Senior Divers Look To Lead Devils
Contributed Article FSU Sports Information Dept.
The Fredonia women's swimming and diving teams finished in the middle of the conference last year. The relatively young team will have to work hard if it is going to break into the top half of the SUNYAC this season. That effort will be led by a pair of senior divers – Meghan Bartlett and Sam Kowalewski. At the conference championships, Bartlett won the 3-meter board last year and finished second off the 1-meter. At the NCAA Meet, the four-time All American would go on to be the DIII runner up off the 1-meter board and finish third off the 3-m board. Kowaleski finished third and fourth in the same events in the conference. While Bartlett aims to repeat her success, Kowaleski's goal this year is to make the NCAA Championships. Chelsea Spiegel, who along with Kowalewski and junior Taylor Chwalinski, was named team captain, will specialize in the freestyle, as will Chwalinski. The rest of the roster is young – four sophomores and six freshman. Caroline Bilotti has stood out among the sophomores, and will compete in a little bit of everything – butterfly, breast stroke and the individual medley.

Dre Gramlich and Megan Rupp hope to qualify for the SUNYAC meet, while Emilie Phinney enters her first year with the team. Alyson Baumann, Lydia Gaughran, Kimberly Ling, Aurielle Marvin and Sierra Parsons made up the freshmen class.

As for the team's expectations, head coach Arthur Wang is taking a wait-and-see approach. "It's too early to tell. We need to see what the rest of the conference has. We have the talent, but our success will depend on the development of our freshmen."
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.
Never rake, blow or dump your leaves into the street, storm drain, or any waterway. Leaves that get swept into Chautauqua Lake or another body of water will cause excess organic material to accumulate. The nutrients in this swimming next summer.

PLAY EVERY ROUND LIKE IT’S YOUR LAST By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
In Western New York, there’s no guarantee on how long into the year we’re going to be able to play golf. The snow could start flying as soon as next week or we might be able to play on Christmas Day like so many did last year. That was nuts. When I woke up on Thursday morning and saw it was overcast and windy, I figured my brother Mark and my cousin Nick might not want to go out and brave the elements. Heck, I wouldn’t have blamed them. But alas, both of them were ready and rearing to go. It’s one of the very few times this season that I’ve had more than one other person in my golf group. I’ve played in twosomes basically all year – for better or for worse. We headed up to Hillview Golf Course in Fredonia, which didn’t have it clubhouse open but had an honor system box set up out front. There weren’t any scorecards in sight, but luckily I’m not a newbie and saved the back half of a previous scorecard. Sure it listed the back nine, but really we just needed something to write on. As I wrote last week, Mark just played his first round in several years. Nick hadn’t played since late August thanks to a thumb injury and then starting college classes. I played 18 holes in the entire month of September. So we all had our excuses for being rusty. But you know what? All three of us played pretty well. As for myself, it was thanks to being able to finally keep my drives on the fairway. It’s been an up-and-down season (mostly down) off of the tee box. I just can’t seem to get my balance right and am constantly hitting off of my back foot. It’s like I’m trying to drive an offspeed pitch to right field. It’s a habit I just can’t seem to shake despite knowing exactly what I’m doing wrong. On this day, however, I kept my swing as simple as possible. I wasn’t crushing the ball (except for one), but I was keeping it in play and keeping myself out of trouble. It sounds so easy to do, but if you’ve ever golfed you know that it’s borderline impossible to stop yourself from getting carried away when you pull out the driver. I actually recorded par on No. 1, which has been a rare occurrence this season. My second shot was pretty far left, but a really nice chip gave me a tap-in par. Yes, please. The most pleasant surprise of the day was Mark’s iron play. Last time out he wasted the first few holes just trying to remember how to hit the ball. Time after time he would top the ball and it’d roll a few yards. Then he’d top the ball and it’d roll a few yards. This time, however, there was no warmup period. His first iron shot was blasted about as beautifully as you can hit a shot. It wasn’t a fluke either as he continued to hit his irons (especially the long irons) really well. Putting gave him all kinds of grief, however. Of course, putting gave all of us
some trouble as the greens were recently aerated. Speaking of aeration, I never knew why golf courses did this, so I looked it up. Aeration is the process by which holes are put into the greens to allow for air to be able to get into the soil beneath the green. It’s needed when the soil beneath the surface of the green becomes too compacted. If aeration is not done, the roots don’t have room to grow and the greens will die. So yes, while it might be annoying to occasionally putt on recently aerated greens, it’s certainly better than the alternative of having those greens die. While I appreciate that it needs to be done, I still feel like those little holes cost me at least two strokes, which is unfortunate. Nick actually put some pressure on me early. This is really his first year as a golfer (though he played a handful of times before this year). He averaged probably 54 or 55 during the season. He fudged the first hole pretty good, but after that he had a string of pars and bogeys for six holes that was one of his better spurts of golf ever. He had some nice drives, a lot of nice chips and wasn’t hurting himself on the green. I was only getting a bunch of bogeys so Nick was right on my tail for a while. He finished with a pair of double bogeys, but still shot a 51, which is much better than his average and certainly better than he expected after not playing for more than a month. Even with a frustratingly terrible putting day, Mark was able to shave five strokes off of his round from last week. He went down to a 54 from a 59. For someone who has only golfed twice in the past three years, that’s not too shabby. He even had a gorgeous par on No. 8 after smoking his second shot about 200 yards onto the green. He had a decent look at birdie, but came up just a foot or two short. I believe that would have been his first birdie ever. Next time. Nick and I played Hillview a lot this summer, but playing at this time of year is like playing a totally different course. Not even considering the aerated greens, the grass is simply different. The rough is actually thick grass. The fairways are actually grass. After the horribly dry summer we had, we got used to hitting off of dry dirt at basically every course. We both agreed that hitting off grass is significantly better, but there were a couple instances where I could have used some of that dry ground. On the par 3 No. 5, I hit a gorgeous 9-iron that I thought was perfect, but it hit right in front of the green and just stuck. That’s a shot that would have bounced onto the green without question two months ago. Mark followed with a nearly identical shot (but he had a much better lie once we got up to our balls). All in all, I wouldn’t be too sad with a season-closing 43. I hope it’s not my final round of the season, but again, you never can tell. As always, golf is great. Go get some.
