Art has been a way of allowing a person to express themself, while coping with life since the dawn of time. It is an avenue of communicating that is unique to every individual. Art is something that can be deeply rewarding, and therapeutic, or just plain fun for anyone who likes to splash in paint. This is something that the founder of the ‘Art Life Conference,’ Kristen McNitt, thoroughly understands and promotes. McNitt, an art instructor and independent artist from Jamestown, has been working with artists who have been diagnosed with disabilities for about 12 years. After struggling with what was classiďŹ ed as a learning disability in grade school, McNitt saw a need for creative expression for others dealing with similar

situations. She has since overcome that learning disability, but believes the need is still there for those who are working through it. Coming from a background much like those that she works with, McNitt is well able to relate to things that they may be dealing with, and has compassion towards these individuals. “People with disabilities are constantly in and out of medical issues and [visiting] doctors so often,� said McNitt. “That they don’t get to experience fun all that often.� The area of teaching art to those with special needs is somewhat of an untapped skill, especially in the New York area.

“It’s rare to have a conference for people with this [common goal],â€? said McNitt. Having spent the past ďŹ ve years developing and implementing an art program speciďŹ cally for ‘The Resource Center’ in Jamestown, McNitt is full of contagious passion concerning this topic, and has wisdom that could be invaluable to those coming to this event. As stated on the conference’s website, artlife.com, “The Art Life Conference is a way for those providing support to people with disabilities to ignite and refresh their passion for teaching.â€? The conference will feature four different speakers who have experience in this ďŹ eld, McNitt being one of them.

Lucy Andrus, Professor of Art Education and Art Therapy and former Director of Art Therapy Studies at Buffalo State College, will be the keynote speaker at this year’s conference. Andrus’ 18 years of elementary through high school level teaching, 30 years experience in higher education, along with her knowledge from coordinating and developing special needs education are expected to bring some valuable insight to the conference. Also presenting at the conference are Alex GlenďŹ eld, PhD, and Mercy Homer, Speech Language Pathologist. GlenďŹ eld, with over a dozen years working with both

inception to present, but I do know it has to get better. I cannot believe that this great country, which was built on the backs of those who sought to better themselves, can continue down the path it’s on. Recently, I read an article about a team of middle school cafeteria workers who moonlighted as youth pastors. They’d been suspended from their jobs for proselytizing on the job. Whether or not they actually did, I don’t know. Both sides claim their own truth. But one quote I read from a board member at the school shook me to the core. “We can’t ignore this. There are just too many serious issues to consider here,” board president Mike Spence told KomoNews.com. “That’s pretty dangerous. It’s a pretty slippery slope I guess I would say.” When did sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ, also classified as ‘good news,’ become a pretty slippery slope? When did it become dangerous? It became dangerous when we elected men and women who are opposed to it. We must educate ourselves on whom we vote for, and why we vote for them. We must focus to ensure that their desires line up with the best for our realities, not for our dreams. Immigrants of old made their living by breaking their backs to get ahead. Today, we break our legs to stay behind. The more we expect the government to take care of us, the more they think they can. Without change, their power will grow until we cannot change it, and we can stand by and watch history repeat itself, “absolute power will corrupt, absolutely.”

There are many opportunities to support New York’s farms and orchards throughout the fall. The activities and events taking place across the state extend beyond choosing which of the many types of apples to bite into. There are festivals to attend, opportunities to pick your own apples, corn mazes to navigate, hay rides, pumpkin picking, as well as the occasion to enjoy spiced

apple cider, warm cider donuts and many other delicious locally-made products. “If you have not taken the opportunity to visit a local orchard or farm, I encourage you to join me in supporting New York State’s vibrant agricultural heritage by making it a part of your fall tradition,” said Senator Young. The New York State Apple Association sponsors a “Pick an apple” website where the public can locate apple growers nearby. Visit www.nyapplecountry.com for more information.

RELIGION SECTION keeping the Faith

Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church Fredonia fcfredonia.org

Dear Pastor, does God care about material things? (cont.) We are continuing on the thought, “Is it God’s will for us to be materially blessed?â€? Last week we saw that when we put God ďŹ rst in our lives, it is God’s will to take care of our needs (Matthew 6:33). Today, I’m going to say something that may astonish you. The Bible says that it is God’s will for His people to be rich. Now, before you reject what I’m saying, let me ďŹ rst explain the Bible’s deďŹ nition of rich. The Bible deďŹ nes this as “having a full supply.â€? It denotes

a state of having more than you need to supply your own provision. 2 Corinthians 8:9 tells us: “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.� This scripture tells us plainly that Jesus became poor so that we might be amply supplied. Why should we have more than we need? Throughout the Bible, God encourages His people to give to His work and be generous to others. We can be assured that

God not only wants us to be taken care of, but He wants us to be blessed with extra so we can help others! Let’s look at 2 Corinthians 9:8. My favorite translation states that: “God is able to bless you with all ample means, so that you may always have quite enough for any emergency of your own and ample besides for any kind act to others.� This verse states that it’s God’s desire to not only meet our needs, but to also give us extra to bless others. The Bible also says that “It is better to give than to receive� (Acts 20:35). How can

you help others if you have nothing to give? You may be asking yourself this question, “How can we fulďŹ ll God’s will in these areas if we do not have any means to do so?â€? God knows that for us to give in abundance, He must supply us with abundance. Deuteronomy 8:18 declares that: “But you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who is giving you power to make wealth.â€? Just as Jesus gives us grace to be saved, He also gives us grace to prosper so we can be a blessing to others!

the weekly word

Rev. Tim Stahlman Family Church Jamestown fcjamestown.org

The Humility of Christ The deďŹ nition of promotion and increase in today’s world seems to include mandatory self-exaltation and cut throat tactics. Many people do not feel they can be used in a signiďŹ cant way unless it includes promoting oneself. But does that kind of promotion have eternal impact? Of course it does not. Promotion that does not happen at the hands of Godly humility is not promotion at all. Jesus Christ was sent from the Throne of God to secure salvation for a depraved human race. To accomplish this unparalleled feat, He would have to “take upon Himself esh and bloodâ€? and “taste death for every man.â€? (Hebrews 2:9,14) That was the greatest assignment ever put upon

a person living within a human body. It would be easy to imagine that Christ could have and should have instantly been put on the greatest throne Earth could offer. But is that what happened? Philippians 2:5-7 says, “Let this mind be in you that was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God thought it not robbery to be equal with God, but MADE HIMSELF OF NO REPUTATION and took upon Himself the form of a servant and was made in the likeness of men.� This is the ultimate example of humility. The King of the universe arrived upon the planet that He designed and sought to excel in the hidden things of life. The One who engineered every element and every law of physics was now off His throne and in a

regular household. The Architect of the cosmos and the Mastermind of the oceans was now going to spend the ďŹ rst 30 years of His life submitting to imperfect parents and civil authorities. The One who built the foundations of Heaven was now going to work in his dad’s carpentry business. The builder of forests was now building tables. The Great Physician, who attached every tendon and designed every neurological cell in the human body, is now carving spindles for wooden chairs. For 30 years the Miracle Man was living in excellence with zero recognition before He ever performed one miracle. That is worth noting. Why didn’t Jesus arrive on the scene with great pomp and proclaim Himself King instantly? This is the reason: God has

SENIOR SECTION

ordained all human esh to be eternally promoted if and only if humility is present. Jesus had to submit to this plan as well. And if Christ could only be exalted after humility, why do we think we would be exempt? Philippians 2:3 says, “Let nothing be done through strife and vainglory but in lowliness of mind‌â€? Vainglory is when you try to promote yourself by demanding recognition and visibility. Vainglory is selďŹ sh ambition that believes your talents are of greater worth than your humble character. Lowliness of mind is when you delight in the excellent completion of a task regardless of the visibility that task brings to you. The beneďŹ t from selďŹ sh ambition will die with your body, but humble excellence in all things lasts for eternity.

Pitts: I didn’t think so at the time, but my oncologist and all my doctors said they looked forward to me coming in because I had such a positive attitude. Other patients would say I was an inspiration. Yes, I’d say the positive attitude played a big, big role. Star: What was the change like for you physically? Pitts: Well, with the chemo I did lose my hair. But, the morning I woke up and it started falling out, I just started chuckling. The oncologist predicted what day it would start falling out. I just buzzed it right off, and wore scarves- more for protections. What I didn’t realize was that you lose all your hair; eyelashes, eyebrows. And I didn’t have to shave my legs! Plus, I saved on makeup and mascara. There was always something positive to look at. I’m keeping the short haircut now. My nails fell off, but grew back stronger.

I didn’t realize that happened either. Star: Now that you’re in remission, what happens next? Pitts: I have checkups every four months right now and I’ll get a mammogram every six months.

Family Service of the Chautauqua Region, Inc.

Domestic violence is the leading cause of injury to women – more than car accidents, muggings, and rapes combined. Every nine seconds in the US a woman is assaulted or beaten. A report by the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics showed that rates of intimate partner violence decreased between 1993 and 2010. (Data from the National Crime Victimization Survey). This shows the ability to educate and spread the word about domestic violence because of the “Violence Against Women Act” has made a difference. A few of the findings are: From 1994 to 2010, the overall rate of intimate partner violence in the United States declined by 64%, from 9.8 victimizations per 1,000 persons age 12 or older to 3.6 per 1,000. From 1994 to 2010, about 4 in 5 victims of intimate partner violence were female. Compared to every other age group, a smaller percentage of female victims ages 12 to 17 were previously victimized by the same offender. Intimate partner violence

declined by more than 60% for both males and females from 1994-2010. Female’s ages 18 to 24 and 25 to 34 generally experienced the highest rates of intimate partner violence. The rate of intimate partner violence for Hispanic females declined 78%, from 18.8 victimizations per 1,000 in 1994 to 4.1 per 1,000 in 2010. Females living in households comprised of one female adult with children experienced intimate partner violence at a rate more than 10 times higher than households with married adults with children and 6 times higher than households with one female only. These statistics are a sign of hope but our work is not done. We are on the right path but it is still a long one. Funding is less, which means a decrease in manpower to assist victims and their families. This is where the public can help. Speak up if you suspect domestic violence or abuse. Don’t wait for the victim to come to you, ask if there is something wrong. Don’t judge or blame them, but express concern. Don’t give advice but offer help in the way of resources. The Chautauqua County Coalition Against Domes-

tic Violence and Sexual Assault (CCCADV&SA) organize several activities for the public. During the month of October our Silent Witness exhibit will be displayed at 4 different venues – Jamestown Business College, James Prendergast Library, Chautauqua Mall and Jamestown Community Colleges Library. This exhibit, which began nationally in 1990 remembers and honors victims. It is made up of life sized red figures each representing a victim/survivor here in Chautauqua County. Although faceless, and nameless, they acknowledge a real person with real feelings behind each story. Take the time to read their stories, also read/take the literature that is on display along with the exhibit. Domestic Violence Screenings will be held at Jamestown Community College, Jamestown Business College and Chautauqua County Health Department. Project Crossroads facilitates these and they entail having students/patients, voluntarily, complete anonymous surveys about any history of domestic violence. Also available for, whether they complete a survey or not, are various pamphlets/resources to take, and individuals avail-

able to answer questions. If you are at any of these venues and asked to complete one please do so, your participation is important. The CCCADV&SA is committed to coordinating a countywide collaborative network to address the needs of those affected by interpersonal violence. Through their unified efforts the coalition membership is committed to providing education, support and assistance, in a consistent, sensitive and nondiscriminatory manner. The coalition is facilitated by Project Crossroads. Project Crossroads, created in 1996, is an educational partnership between the Jamestown Police Department and Family Service of the Chautauqua Region. For more information about how you can become involved, for available services or educational presentations, please contact Project Crossroads at 483-7718. If you have been a victim of Sexual Assault &/or Domestic Violence in Chautauqua County, contact The Salvation Army Anew Center Crisis Hotline at 1-800-252-8748.

It takes a Village to survive Breast Cancer

7

By Dodi Kingsfield Contributing Writer

In life or death situations, it’s easier to survive when there is more than one person working toward the same goal and helping each other out. Cancer can be a life or death situation and a woman can’t battle breast cancer alone, she needs a whole lot of people. It takes a village to survive breast cancer, a village full of support and love and caring people that are vested in a woman’s battle against this disease and doing everything within their power to help her survive. Without the village, a woman would be lost and according to many survivors, a good support system is critical to getting through treatment and on to a better life after breast cancer. While immediate family may seem like the obvious support group that a cancer patient would need, there are more members to a survivor’s village than one would initially think. One of the first members of a woman’s new family that must meet 100% approval is her medical staff: surgeons, oncologists, therapists, doctors, nurses and others who see the patient through good and bad, consider and address the patient’s needs and desires, as well as her concerns regarding treatment. A patient must be absolutely confident that she is in the best medical hands possible as they are her guides to a healthier life after breast cancer. Once a woman begins seeing her medical family regularly, it’s highly recommended by survivors to get

an appointment buddy This person not only accompanies the woman to and from appointments, often driving because the patient feels weak, nauseous or violently ill, but also attends doctor appointments as a second set of ears to ensure that all instructions were heard correctly. A breast cancer patient could easily miss simple instructions or appointment dates due to distractions, a wandering mind or inability to concentrate. Choose an appointment buddy that is easily available during office hours and give him/her the appointment treatment schedule in advance so they can act as an appointment reminder as well. At times, an appointment buddy may seem like more of an enemy as they are a constant reminder of the new life a breast cancer patient must endure. Just be sure to not take it out on them, they just want to see you healthy again or they wouldn’t be there. As the body progresses through the daily challenges of treatment, so does the mind as it struggles to gain back control of what was once healthy . A woman must have in her village

of people, one or more people that support her through the constant ups and downs of breast cancer treatment. A patient needs someone they can lean on, a shoulder to cry on, or a person to hold them, This support person can be a partner, spouse or family member. Therapists or counselors can also provide mental support, but may not always be there at the drop of a hat. This person needs to be able to handle frantic calls in the middle of the night, anxiety and panic attacks after treatments or the hysterical meltdowns of a patient whose hair has begun to fall out. This support person is a rock to the patient and key to a woman’s survival. For some, the mental support person may also be a spiritual support person, but the more in the village the merrier. A clergyman, women’s circle, or other church members can all assist in fi lling the spiritual needs of a woman struggling to fight for her life and win. The presence of God, the Great Spirit or other higher power provide solace and often a renewed relationship with the church and their teachings regard-

ing suffering, healing and rebirth. The presence of Spirit helps woman come to terms with her illness and the growth necessary to proceed to the next level of survival. As a woman wraps herself around her health and begins to look outward again, there may be signs of neglect around the home since everyone has been focusing on her health and improvement and not the house. When good samaritans like neighbors, family and friends extend a hand and offer to help with domestic duties, do not hesitate to accept their kindness with gratitude and praise. Needing assistance with meals, cleaning, shopping and the

kids does not indicate failure in any way, but instead demonstrates the vast support system a breast cancer survivor needs in order to focus on her health, reduce stress and show her family they can do things without her constant help, at least for a little while. As treatment proceeds and a woman’s health is restored, it’s time to take back her health in a positive way with the help of a number of support people. A workout buddy or personal trainer supports lifestyle changes and acts as a great motivator on those days when a weak body has a hard time moving. By establishing fitness goals and having a buddy to bare witness, a

cancer survivor has a better chance of establishing permanent habits that not only reinforce their new outlook on health but celebrates their journey through breast cancer to survival on the other side. Whether it’s a yoga instructor or dietitian, husband or best gal pal, second cousin or treatment center support group, the network of people that a breast cancer patient surrounds herself with is key to her long term survival. Positive people generate positive energy that yield positive results and is exactly what a breast cancer patient needs, a support system that celebrates life. Because it’s worth celebrating.

THE TASTE OF FALL: PUMPKIN GINGERBREAD TRIFLE

By Katy Wise Contributing Writer

It’s that wonderful time of year again! The time where all the pumpkin, apple and cinnamon desserts make a comeback in attempts to make us feel better about how cold it is outside. With that being said, here is a delicious seasonal recipe that has recently become a favorite of mine. I was introduced to this tasty treat at my best friend Erin’s wedding, when the bride herself made it for her reception. She’s that best friend who’s great at pretty much everything. One of my favorite things about this recipe is that it’s light, and although it does taste like the very definition of fall, it doesn’t weigh you down like most other holiday recipes. Hope you enjoy it! Pumpkin Gingerbread Trifle

1 box gingerbread cake, prepared 1 can pumpkin pie fi lling 2 boxes vanilla instant pudding 2 ½ C. milk 2 C. whipping cream (could also use cool whip) 4 Tbsp. sugar 1 tsp. vanilla extract ¼ tsp. ground cinnamon If you already have substantial trifle experience, and are confident in your ‘trifl ing abilities’ you can ignore most of the following instructions. Prepare the gingerbread cake according to directions on box, one 8x8 square pan will yield enough cake for recipe. If you have time, I would suggest preparing the cake with plenty of time for it to cool. I usually try to make it the night before I will be making the trifle, so that the pudding and whipped cream don’t become runny

from coming into contact with a warm cake. There are 2 different ways that I am aware of to prepare the cake for layering. You can crumble the cake into small crumbs, or cut into small pieces. Do whichever you prefer! Personally, I have found the crumbling method to be far more messy than convenient. If you so choose, cut the cake into small squares, approximately 1 inch by 1 inch wide. If you desire, you can then cut these pieces once more, lengthwise, so that they are easy to arrange. Next, using a standing mixer, blend the milk and pudding mix together on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add the pumpkin to the vanilla pudding mixture, blend well until smooth. Transfer the pumpkin and vanilla pudding into a separate bowl (unless you have two mixing bowls for your stand mixer.) Put the whipping cream, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon into mixing bowl and blend together on medium speed until mixture looks wavy. Using a trifle bowl, see picture, layer ingredients to your heart’s content! I personally love seeing layers that are near perfection, but ultimately it will taste the same no matter how you place the ingredients in the bowl. Refrigerate until serving. If desired, save some gingerbread cake to sprinkle on the top for decoration. I used gingerbread cookies to garnish my trifle, but only because I had already made some for my hubbaroo to take to work the following day. Enjoy!

BY LITTLE PEOPLE

When mom, Tammy, told her only daughter that she had a baby girl, Zoie, age 7, looked puzzled and asked, “Oh, who is she?” While I was pregnant with our youngest son, Andrew, my sister gave my ‘baby bump’ the name “Bob.” Our two-year-old lovingly called my belly this pet name for the remainder of our pregnancy, and still calls his baby brother Bob every once in awhile, most often when people ask in the grocery store what our little one’s name is. Our pediatrician has even come to know Andrew as “Bob” and will sometimes refer to him using that name during check-ups. Want to see your child’s words of wisdom or hilarious bloopers in our paper? I’d love to hear from you! Send your quotes and funnies to bigwords@star-mediagroup.com

COLLEGE TIPS, CONTINUED FROM PG 1 know you very well. Hopefully at least one of those teachers have had direct contact with you outside of the classroom, maybe through your involvement with a club or a sports team or another extracurricular activity or special event. 4) If possible, visit as many of the colleges you are considering Keeping financial concerns in mind and knowing your time commitments will limit you, visits are not essential, yet nothing will help you more to define the ideal learning environment for you than to see it for yourself. If you can schedule some visits, do it. 3) Share what you are

thinking with your parents, your friends and their parents Share your initial reactions and personal feelings about the colleges you are considering with your parents and other people you are close to. It is important that they know what your goals are and are on the same page with you so any advice they have will help move the process along. 2) Write your personal essay from your heart The essay is a way for college admissions representatives to get to know you a little better since your high school grades and SAT scores only tell them about your academic achieve-

ments. The essay is a written introduction about yourself, so remember to carefully proofread it. 1) Relax Despite all of the stress, pressure and uncertainty that accompanies the college application process, try and remember that one year from now you will likely be attending an excellent college. One of the greatest things about higher education in our country is there are hundreds of opportunities and options for enjoying the college experience.

It would take a tremendous amount of practice for me to acquire the editing skills in the voice recognition software. The other interesting thing that I have noticed as a I use the software is that I will be thinking as I type. It is though I type slow enough so that my brain can put together some more ideas for me to put together into my essay or article. When I speak into a document, I almost feel like I am on stage and I need to perform for the computer! I could be the only one that experiences this, but this is my experience. Voice recognition today is tremendous. The technology not only has the ability to understand your speech without calibration but it has the ability to predict what you are going to say based on context and past phrases that you have entered into your device. I specifically say device, because mobile devices have driven the improvement of voice recognition and it will only continue to get better. I think this technology is terrific and has a great potential for those that have a hard time holding a pen or typing on a keyboard. It also is great for those workers that are in an office, on a construction site, or in a classroom. It is definitely software worth trying.

Students Saturday, Nov. 9, from 9:30 will then be sent into the a.m. to noon. Now in its community to begin their ninth year, Fall Sweep is service. a yearly volunteer service initiative in which SUNY Fredonia students go out into the village of Fredonia to rake leaves off of their neighbors’ lawns to demonstrate the commitment they have to their community. Community members residing on Temple Street, Central Avenue and smaller side streets will receive #VJMEFST 4VQQMZ *OD a yer on their front porch the week before the event. The yer will explain that if the recipients wish to have their yard raked by SUNY Fredonia students, they should visibly post the Fall Sweep yer in a window or on their front door the morning of the event. The sweep will begin in the Williams Center on Contributed Article

FREDRICKSON

Fall Sweep is co-hosted by SUNY Fredonia’s Applied Communications Association (ACA) and the Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA). This year’s event is being done in conjunction with SUNY Fredonia’s “Days of Ser-

vice,� a week-long event that will combine volunteer efforts and service-learning projects at various locations throughout Western New York.

Mow the Leaves Before you grab that rake and start piling up the leaves on the curb, remember that pulverizing your leaves with a mulching lawnmower provides nutrients to feed your lawn, reducing the need for fertilizer. This organic matter helps your soil store rainfall for your grass to stay green in summer. Also, mowing your leaves saves on taxes if your DPW doesn’t have to pick them up curbside!

Adding leaves to the lake or streams feeds the plants and algae Blowing your leaves into the lake or raking them into a ditch or stream causes organic material to build up in the lake. This material feeds lake plants and algae, interfering with boating, fishing and swimming fun next summer. Compost or mulch your leaves this year.

Matt Flynn is getting his latest chance at a fresh start, this time in Buffalo on a team that has spent the past week scrambling to shore up its injury-depleted quarterback position.

Williams was the workhorse back for the Black Knights with 34 carries for 155 yards and the touchdown. Fredonia 37, Gowanda 3 One goal down: The Fredonia Hillbillies clinched their second Class C South title in the past three years with a 37-6 home win over Gowanda on Friday night. The high-octane Fredonia offense found the end zone just minutes into the game when Weston Ley connected with Cameron Voss for a 13-yard touchdown. While that was the only score of the first quarter, the Hillbillies tacked onto their lead when Ley again found Voss for a touchdown just moments into the second quarter, this time from 34 yards out. Of course, no Fredonia game is complete without a little Matt McCarthy action. The senior tailback once again broke the century mark with 104 yards on 12 attempts on the ground. McCarthy had a touchdown run right before halftime from 6 yards out and another late in the third quarter from 5 yards away. Gowanda’s ground game was solid too, but the Panthers just weren’t able to keep up with Fredonia’s defense. Brennan Geiger piled up 132 yards on 25 carries for Gowanda. Cody Smith was a force on defense for Fredonia with nine tackles and an interception.

Sabres earn first win in Shootout By Ira Podell AP Sports Writer

Ryan Miller and the rest of the Buffalo Sabres were still working hard even when it appeared their season-opening losing streak was about to reach a club-record eight games. Often beaten - but not beaten down - the Sabres mustered a late comeback to get to overtime and then topped the New York Islanders in a shootout to win 4-3 on Tuesday night.

are You not entertained?

By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

This commentary needs to start with the preface that I didn’t watch a whole lot of the Buffalo Bills game this week against the Cincinnati Bengals. Sunday was my first anniversary and my wife probably wouldn’t have appreciated me spending it in front of the TV. That said, I turned it on in time to watch the Bills outscore the Bengals 14-0 in the last quarterplus. Thad Lewis threw a beautiful deep ball to T.J. Graham for the game-tying touchdown and forced overtime. Yes, the Bills lost again. We’re all getting pretty accustomed to that in Western New York. But you know what? This team is pretty darn entertaining. That’s not something you could say about the last…I don’t know…10 years worth of Bills teams. 15 years? That Doug Flutie guy was pretty fun to watch. ContinUED on pG 2

commentarY continued from pg 1 Make no mistake, I’m not saying this is a good team because it isn’t. It has the exciting players like C.J. Spiller and Kiko Alonso. What separates exciting teams from good teams are the players like Eric Wood and Kyle Williams. Buffalo simply doesn’t have enough of those type of players. But hey, the Buffalo Bills are watchable and that’s something. This last home game was in danger of not selling out and it’s probably because Bills fans thought that rookie quarterback E.J. Manuel was the only exciting piece of this team. Not only would those fans be wrong because the team has many more eye-catching players, but Manuel hasn’t been particularly good or exciting. Yet. The preseason knee injury robbed Manuel of some of his explosiveness early and I really feel like the coaching staff had been calling a rather conservative game plan for the rookie quarterback until that knee fully healed. So he was forced to be more of a pocket passer. The result wasn’t pretty. Yes, the final drive against Carolina (aided by a 4th down pass interference penalty if you recall) was nice, but the highlights have been few and far between. Now another knee injury has Manuel on the shelf. Jeff Tuel stepped in and proved to be the antithesis of excitement, but Thad Lewis actually had some moments. Deep balls to Graham and Marquise Goodwin were things of beauty and showed the speed the Bills have at the receiver position. Few things in sports are as exciting as a completed deep ball. Spiller is the obvious other exciting player on the offensive side of the ball. Again injuries have slowed the dynamic running back, but his run against Cleveland in that Thursday night game proved he still has unbelievable talent. I don’t want to say it doesn’t matter who the Bills have under center, but a majority of their excitement will come from the skill positions even when Manual comes back from his injury. And defensively, how can you ask a player to do more than Kiko Alonso has done in his first six weeks in the league? I mean, the guy is being compared to Chuck Norris in the annals of American history. That’s saying something.

Tackles for losses, sacks, forced fumbles, interceptions — Alonso is simply a playmaker. You know who else has made a name for himself by constantly being around the ball? Jairus Byrd. The safety fi nally made his 2013 debut against the Bengals after holding out of training camp and then suffering a foot injury basically the moment he stepped on the field. He wasn’t a huge difference maker as he wasn’t on the field for every defensive snap, but fi nished with four tackles and knocked away a pass from quarterback Andy Dalton, too. As captivating as Alonso has been this season, I couldn’t stop following Da’Norris Searcy around the field. The defensive back had 16 tackles, including 13 solo stops. He had a sack and three tackles for a loss as well. For being kind of a forgotten player on the Bills’ defense, Searcy was an animal from his safety position. This is a team that has historically had very fun special teams players, too. Leodis McKelvin isn’t much to write home about as a cornerback, but boy is he dynamic when returning punts. He wasn’t able to fi nd running room against the Bengals, but Bills fans know the he can be a huge weapon. Heck, even having Brian Moorman back as the punter makes this team more fun to watch. He was a fan favorite for years before being jettisoned to save some cap space. But he’s back and he boomed his punts to the tune of a 48.8 yard average in his first game back. Yes, missed tackles led to the punt return that won Cincinnati the game, but that was hardly Moorman’s fault as he had a great punt backed up against his own goal line. Yes, some wins would be more fun. That Carolina game in Week 2 was one of the most riveting games I’ve watched in the past five years. Even the season-opening loss to New England was a blast. I keep hearing people predict this team will be a true contender in two years. But until then, I’m just going to enjoy Buffalo having a watchable team because it’s been a long time since we even had that. Stefan Gestwicki is the sports editor of the Chautauqua Star.

as along the sides of the island. Another good option is along the shoreline below the Huntley Plant. Live golden shiners have been the go-to bait, but artificial swimbaits have also worked well. Cooling river waters in fall usually turns on the muskellunge fishing in the river. Drifting in the river along weed edges with large 8-10 inch tube jigs or trolling large stickbaits in the outer Buffalo Harbor are good bets. Live bait produces a mix of panfish and bass at shore sites along the City of Buffalo.

chautauqua lake

Fall is a good time to target muskellunge on Chautauqua Lake. Most recent musky action has been along weedlines. Trolling with large jointed stickbaits (especially perch pattern) or casting bucktail spinners are good bets. Smallmouth bass are biting outside weed edges. Live bait fished near the bottom works best. Yellow perch are still biting well in 6-12 feet of water on live bait. Expect many smaller throw-backs for every keeper.

Surplus broodstock trout Stocking

DEC Randolph Fish Hatchery has been conducting their annual fall stocking of broodstock trout in Allegany and Cattaraugus Counties. All breeder trout stocked are over 2 years old and are stocked in waters where trout fi shing is permitted year-round. The following waters have been

stocked as of 10/11; Birch Run Pond received 50 14-inch brook trout; Allen Lake received 100 14inch brook trout and 100 20-inch brook trout; Case Lake received 100 14-inch brook trout, 100 20-inch brook trout and 50 20-inch brown trout. Call the Randolph Hatchery Stocking Hotline at (716) 358-4950 for updates.

inland trout Streams

The area trout streams are in good shape. Fall fi shing can be very good and with very low pressure, you can often have the stream to yourself. There is not much fly activity except light smatterings of blue-winged olives and isonychia. Fly anglers see surface action on imitations as well as terrestrials. Fly anglers can also do well with smaller streamer and bugger patterns in fall for aggressive trout. Western New York anglers have a variety of Wild Trout Streams and Stocked Trout Streams to choose from. In addition, Public Fishing Rights Maps are available for many of the area’s best trout streams. If you need more fi shing information or would like to contribute to the fi shing report, please call or e-mail Mike Todd (716-851-7010; mttodd@ gw.dec.state.ny.us) or Jim Markham (716-366-0228; jlmarkha@gw.dec.state. ny.us).

Golfer's

D i a ry

SplaSH! notHing ruinS a round liKe a water HaZard

By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

My golfer’s diary will follow my golf outing(s) for the week. I’ll look at how course conditions, weather, equipment, playing partners, etc. affect the game we love. Please keep in mind that I only started golfing last year, so yes, my scores are hardly that of a scratch golfer. But that’s what makes golf great: You don’t have to be a zero handicap to enjoy the game. Every day you get to go out on a course this time of year is a bonus day. So even when I play poorly, I can’t help but feel fortunate. Plus let’s be honest: where would I rather be, the office or the golf course? So I went with my brotherin-law (who technically isn’t yet, but is marrying my sister on Oct. 26!) to Cassadaga Country Club. CCC is closed this weekend because Stacy Wintersteen is getting married. Congrats Stacey! Going back to golf, yeah it was a little cold and wet, but I’ve never let weather be an excuse. The round started off wonderfully. I hit one of the longest, straightest drives of my life off the tee. I was as shocked as anyone because I haven’t been playing much lately. Even when I do play twice a week my drives are shaky at best. Heck, my second

shot might have even better as I landed my ball right where I wanted on the front of the green. That green runs quick so you always have to land right on the front if you don’t want to roll off the back. Enter my good buddy the putter. Holy smokes has my putting been shaky the last few times out. Then there are days where the cup looks the size of a basketball hoop and you can’t miss. That’s what makes golf so great…and frustrating. If you’re familiar with CCC you’ll know that the first five holes are all par 4’s that run back-and-forth alongside each other. Not to say they’re all the same because they’re far from it. Trees, hills, sand traps and a creek make each hole very unique. Of course all the greens are very different as well. I’ve been playing at Cassadaga quite a bit in the second half of the golf season and can usually par at least two or three of these par 4s. Last time out I think I might have gone 4-of-5. Yes, birdies are nice, but again, you have to sink putts to get birdies. This time however, I bogeyed each and every one of those darned holes. Five-over after five is not where I like to be. No. 6 was set up just about as difficult as can be. It’s a

short par 3 on most days, but the tee boxes were as far back as I’ve ever seen and the flag was on the front-right of the green — where it slopes down considerably. I managed to accomplish something I’ve never done before. I sank my ball right into the sandtrap to the short-left side of the green. Having never hit out of wet sand before, my first attempt was horrendous. I basically swung under the ball and it went nowhere. My second attempt to get out of the sand I decided to go right after the ball and hit a beauty of a shot – one of my best ever to be honest. Not only did I get it up in the middle of the green, but perfectly hit the slope that allowed the ball to roll slowly towards the pin, where it stopped within a foot of the hole. Nice. Lucky, but nice. Fast-forwarding to No. 8, I finally found the right club for that distance. It’s a long, difficult par 3, but I managed to land on the fringe last time out with a 3-hybrid. I used the same club this time and managed to land on the green off the tee for the first time ever. If you’ve ever played this hole, you won’t be surprised to hear that I four-putted for double-bogey. Goodness that green is tough.

No. 9 was a disaster, too. I hit what I thought was a gorgeous tee shot from the upper tee box. I had a bead on it and watch it sail through the air, curve slightly to the right and SPLASH! right into the creek. Normally there isn’t much water in that creek and you can sometimes get lucky and the ball bounces out. Not this time with all the recent rain. Then I did something totally mindless. I pulled out a random club to retrieve my ball with, dropped the ball in the grass and hit it. I have no idea whatsoever what club I used. I never really looked at distance, just grabbed the club and hit. Luckily my random draw wasn’t too bad and I was just short of the green, but that could have been disastrous had I used a 4-iron or something instead of the 7-iron the shot requires. A lot of courses are accepting membership applications at reduced prices until the beginning of the year. Now’s your chance to think ahead for the 2014 golf season. Or if anyone wanted to get your local sports editor a great holiday gift, golf memberships make great presents. Stefan Gestwicki is the sports editor of the Chautauqua Star.

Fredonia Girls take Dunkirk invitational; soto Wins Boys Meet By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

Gwen Stokes was the first runner across the finish line at Point Gratiot during the Dunkirk Invitational and her Fredonia teammates followed suit as the Lady Hillbillies ran their way to a team victory. Stokes finished in a time of 21:09 while Michaela Tramuta was fourth in 21:43. Claire O’Brien finished fi fth (22:37.74), Maitland Langworthy was eighth (23:46) and Mary Polvino was ninth (24:74). Even with all those runners in the top 10, Fredonia barely edged out Silver Creek for the meet title with 27 points to the Black Knights’ 30. Dunkirk fielded an incomplete team with Hannah McCrady the lone Lady Marauder finisher at 33:55 and 18th place. Dunkirk’s Javy Soto bolted to the front of the pack at the gun and never ceded that lead in winning the boys race in 17:43. It was a shade faster than he ran the course a few days before at

Dunkirk’s league meet. “Yeah it did help,” Soto noted. “We didn’t have a meet on Sat because (Dunkirk coach Kurt) Warmbrodt wanted us to take it off. Then we ran well on Tue. (Maple Grove’s) Corey (Wefing) got me, but it was still a good day.” No one could catch Soto, but his teammate Ethan Francis was behind him the entire race and fi nished second in 17:59.52. “It’s really nice having a teammate with you,” Soto added. “It’s like having a running buddy. It keeps you going.”

As a team Dunkirk fi nished second with 52 points to St. Francis’ 41. Silver Creek placed third with 57 and Fredonia was fourth with 69 points. “I was missing my third/ fourth runner who was in New York City with a family commitment,” Warmbrodt said. “Fredonia was missing one of its top guys, too. He was here in sweats so something was obviously bugging him. “St. Francis came in packed in very nicely,” he continued. “Both us and Fredonia were spread out. Silver Creek was right there.”

Portville 50, Falconer 34 There was nothing wrong with Falconer’s offense on Friday night in its Class C South battle with Portville, but the defense was unable to stop the Panthers as the Golden Falcons came up on the wrong end of a 50-34 score. It’s a common theme for Falconer this season as they lost a 39-38 decision to Gowanda last week. The difference maker in this shootout was a Falconer turnover in the fourth quarter. Following a Portville score that put the Panthers up 43-34, Falconer fumbled the ensuing kickoff. Moments later Portville was celebrating in the end zone again with a 50-34 lead. The Golden Falcons had no trouble moving the ball on the ground as the team motored for a total of 420 yards. Cody Dustin led the

charge as he has all season with 244 yards and a pair of touchdowns. But junior DaShawn Jackson was a force as well with 124 yards and another pair of scores. Falconer makes the short trip to Southwestern for a regular season-concluding contest with the Trojans on Friday night.

Flynn Enters Bills’ Quarterback Picture By John Wawrow AP Sports Writer

Matt Flynn is getting his latest chance at a fresh start, this time in Buffalo on a team that has spent the past week scrambling to shore up its injury-depleted quarterback position. A week after being cut by Oakland, Flynn signed with the Bills on Monday after spending the morning working out for general manager Doug Whaley, coach Doug Marrone and his offensive staff. The sixth-year NFL player is now on his third team since December; the Raiders acquired him in a trade with Seattle this past offseason. ''I'm happy I'm getting a fresh start,'' Flynn said. ''I'm happy I'm getting this opportunity with the Bills, and I'm excited about it. And hopefully it works out.'' Flynn's signing marks the latest in a series of quarterback moves the Bills have made since rookie starter EJ Manuel sprained his right knee in a 37-24 loss to Cleveland on Oct. 3. In the previous eight days alone, the Bills promoted Thad Lewis from their practice squad to take over as interim starter. They worked out free agents Dennis Dixon and Pat White before signing Dixon to the practice squad. And Buffalo failed in a bid to land former Tampa Bay starter Josh Freeman, who instead signed with Minnesota. Despite Flynn's addition, Marrone intends to stick with Lewis as his starter Sunday, when Buffalo (2-4) travels to play Miami (3-2). Lewis gets the nod after he made a solid debut

overcoming a sprained right foot and a 14-point deficit by throwing two fourth-quarter touchdowns in a 27-24 overtime loss to Cincinnati on Sunday. Marrone added that Lewis is expected to practice Wednesday after tests confirmed the injury to his foot is not serious. Flynn will be initially groomed to serve as Lewis' backup ahead of undrafted rookie Jeff Tuel, who struggled filling in for Manuel against Cleveland. Marrone also provided an encouraging update on Manuel's status, saying the rookie is ''ahead of schedule'' and has been cleared

to begin rehabbing as early as Tuesday. Marrone cautioned it was too early to provide a more detailed timeline for when Manuel might be cleared for practice. Manuel walked without a limp and acknowledged his knee is feeling better while making a brief visit to the locker room Monday. Flynn was selected by Green Bay in the seventh round of the 2008 draft out of LSU, and spent his first four seasons as Aaron Rodgers' backup. In 2012, Flynn signed with Seattle in free agency; he eventually lost the starting job to rookie Russell Wilson.

This past offseason, Oakland gave up two draft picks to acquire Flynn from the Seahawks. The Raiders also reworked Flynn's contract in which the quarterback was guaranteed $6.5 million this season. Flynn instead struggled in two appearances. He completed 22 of 34 passes for 246 yards with a touchdown and interception. ''Obviously, with the timing and whatever it was, we just weren't right for each other. It just didn't work out,'' he said. ''I needed to play better.'' Flynn said he's unaffected by what's happened. ''Obviously, you've got to learn from what you didn't do so well and try not to make the same mistakes twice,'' he said. ''Leaving Green Bay, I was extremely confident. And I don't think that's shaken any.'' Overall, Flynn has completed 109 of 175 attempts for 1,329 yards, with 10 touchdowns and six interceptions in 39 career games, including three starts. NOTES: WR Stevie Johnson said he's hopeful he could return to play against Miami after missing Sunday's game with a back injury. Johnson said he initially hurt his back in a 23-20 win over Baltimore two weeks ago, and aggravated the injury against Cleveland. ... Marrone hinted LG Doug Legursky has the edge on incumbent Colin Brown for the starting job. Legursky had more playing time than Brown against Cincinnati. ... To free up a roster spot to sign Flynn, the Bills placed defensive back Jonathan Meeks (sprained right ankle) on the injured reserve/ designated to return list. That means Meeks has the chance to be activated in eight weeks.

Sabres earn a point but still winless continued from pg 1 ''It's good to finally get a win,'' a relieved Miller said. ''Gives us a chance to feel good for a while, and hopefully we can build.'' Marcus Foligno scored the tying goal with 2:01 left in regulation, and Miller stopped John Tavares in the final round in the shootout to give the Sabres the long-anticipated victory. ''You build and keep working hard. Tonight it paid off,'' Foligno said. ''Hopefully this can change our confidence.'' The Sabres (1-6-1), beaten 2-1 by Minnesota at home Monday, had never lost more than their first seven games. Buffalo started 0-5-2 in 1999 and 0-4-3 in 1990. ''I thought we outplayed them late in the game,'' Foligno said. ''This feeling is awesome. We just want to continue it.'' Buffalo played for the third time in four days and got something to show for it. Now the Sabres return home for three straight games. They even overcame the loss of center Zemgus Girgensons, who skated off in the first period after being bloodied when he was struck in the face by a shot by teammate Tyler Myers. ''You have to start somewhere, and it's important that we started now,'' Miller said. Thomas Vanek and Tyler Ennis also scored in the shootout. Miller allowed a

Ennis got Buffalo even at 1 with a fortunate goal 5:24 into the second after a shot by Drew Stafford trickled between Nabokov's pads and landed behind him in the blue paint. Ennis swooped in and slammed the puck in for his first of the season. But New York needed just 2:44 to go back in front when Martin netted his first.

200 Years of Excellence In the Classroom. In the Field. Across the Globe.

Undergraduate research is a hallmark of the Allegheny College experience, with nearly one million dollars invested in exploration and discovery each year.

For nearly 200 years, each and every Allegheny graduate has completed a significant piece of independent research known as the “Senior Comp.” The results are as varied as the disciplines that produce them, and, for many, this comprehensive project is a pivotal experience that stretches perceived boundaries and defines one’s life calling. What will you discover at Allegheny?

Bryant & Stratton College FoCuSeS on Student employaBility

What should you get out of a college education? Life lessons? Certainly. A broadened world view? Of course. But how about employability? Shouldn’t a college provide you with the education you need to start a good career, and also give you the skills you need to thrive in that career? One area college does all that–and more. For over 150 years Bryant & Stratton College has been helping people throughout Western New York become employable. They start out by developing degree programs in industries that are hiring: from healthcare, business and technology; to

hospitality, design and the legal field. But that’s just the beginning. The way Bryant & Stratton College helps their students reach their full potential and achieve career success is what sets them apart from other area colleges. From their first day on campus, Bryant & Stratton College students begin learning the skills and proficiencies they’ll need to effectively perform the technical functions in their degree program. But they also develop vital tools to find, maintain and advance their career at any stage in their life: they learn to use Optimal Resume, they build

a professional portfolio, and they acquire the critically important “soft skills” employers demand today. These include the fundamentals: writing proficiency, mathematics, listening and speaking competencies; as well as the skills you’ll need to be a valuable employee, like problem-solving, decision-making, ideagenerating and others.

In addition to teaching these important skills, Bryant & Stratton College also helps students develop the personal qualities that are essential for both academic and career success, like integrity, responsibility and self-esteem.

It’s this total package — a well-rounded education with a strong career focus — that helps differentiate Bryant & Stratton College from other colleges, and more importantly, can help you start the career you want, and advance in that career over time. For more information, come to Bryant & Stratton College’s Fall Open House Tuesday, Oct. 22 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. or Saturday, Oct. 26 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at all three campuses.

new manuFaCturing CertiFiCate oFFered at JCC

Jamestown Community College began offering a new credit certificate program in industrial equipment technology this fall.

According to Michael Weaver, JCC’s director of engineering science and technology, the interdisciplinary certificate program helps support the needs of local industries for trained personnel. “Employer need for this program was determined through a survey of manufacturers and facilities in Chautauqua, Cattaraugus, and Warren counties, and evaluation of previous non-credit offerings,” Weaver said. “The certificate prepares students with the necessary interdisciplinary background to troubleshoot, repair, and maintain electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, and pneumatic equipment used in a manufacturing or facilities environment,” Weaver said. “Students who complete the program successfully will be well

qualified for entry-level positions in industrial maintenance and manufacturing jobs.

“Job titles may include industrial electrician, industrial machinery mechanic, installation technician, industrial technician, and building maintenance mechanic,” Weaver added. “The certificate will also allow personnel presently employed by industry to obtain a credential showing basic competence in the skills necessary for advancement.” The program core includes basic foundations of automation systems used in advanced manufacturing and facilities maintenance. Courses emphasize the fundamentals of AC/ DC electricity, programmable logic controllers, electric motors and controls, hydraulics and pneumatics, manual and CNC machining, and welding. Courses in machine theory, electricity, and welding provide an introduction to specific areas that are important

Brain power: Baldwin wallaCe neuroSCienCe program reCognized internationally

The international Society for Neuroscience (SfN) has named Baldwin Wallace University’s neuroscience program its Undergraduate Program-of-the-Year, recognizing BW’s multidisciplinary program as an innovative role model of “excellence in educating neuroscientists. “BW’s program has risen to a place of international distinction through the hard work of many people across campus, especially emeritus professor and founding neuroscience chair, Dr. Andrew Mickley,” said BW president Robert C. Helmer. "We’re also

pleased that the success of the students enrolled in our program offers continual evidence of BW’s highly effective approach.” “What really seemed to impress the selection committee was the 3-step peer mentoring program that engages everyone who's involved in neuroscience at BW,” said Mickley “It provides a very special bond between groups of students working in faculty labs, as well as bonds between students and faculty. These are career-long relationships that last well beyond BW graduation.”

All neuroscience undergraduates at BW benefit from research opportunities right from the start, and often publish papers, present at international scientific conferences and win federally funded internships at leading universities. Those who have applied to graduate programs or medical school have enjoyed a remarkable 95 percent overall acceptance rate.

The BW neuroscience program began as a minor in 1995 with a major first offered in 2000. The curriculum, which blends psychology, biology and chemistry courses, is research-intensive and all students are required to produce an empirically based senior thesis. “Neuroscience is advancing our understanding of the human brain and human health” says Dr. Jacqueline Morris, director of BW’s neuroscience program. “The growth in the discipline provides a variety of professional and educational opportunities for Neuroscience graduates. We’re pleased that SfN selected BW for this honor and recognized the program's innovative approaches to neuroscience education and research.”

How to Avoid Massive Student Loan Debts

Contributed Article StatePoint With college costs skyrocketing, more college students are waking to the realization that they are trapped under massive debts. It doesn’t have to be this way, say experts. The numbers are staggering, as 65 percent of student loan borrowers misunderstand or are surprised by aspects of their student loans, according to studies. And student loans account for the most common form of increasing debt among ages 18-24, with

60 percent of students graduating with an average of $24,572.45 in student loan debt. Students are not being taught enough financial responsibility, say experts at Lexington Law, a leading provider of consumer credit correction services. Only four states require a class in financial education. As such, many educators are urging greater financial education requirements. In the meantime, there are things students can do to avoid getting buried under debt. A recent survey revealed that one in three graduates

ful decisions. From late night study sessions turned pizza parties, to all-you-can-eat buffets common to campus meal plans, avoid letting these nutritional pitfalls get the better of you.

StatePoint One of the big challenges college students face is adjusting to a rigorous academic lifestyle. But an even bigger trial than cramming for exams is learning to survive on one’s own.

You can improve your nutrition by prepping your own food sometimes. Even if you only have a microwave in your dorm, try whipping up oatmeal for breakfast and tacos topped with tomatoes and heated beans for dinner.

From knowing how to whip up dinner to doing one’s laundry, learning basic life skills marks the transformation of kid-at-home to young adult-in-the-world. The experts at Sun Products, the makers of Wisk PowerBlasts, offer these tips to college students:

If you’re blessed with a full kitchen, you can be much more versatile. Pick easy recipes and follow them closely until you understand the principles of simple cooking. Once you’re comfortable with the basics, get creative with seasonings and ingredients.

Tips to Avoid the 'Freshman 15'

StatePoint Trying to avoid the dreaded "Freshman 15" weight gain? While college is an adjustment, it doesn't have to mean an adjustment in your pants size.

Exercise

In fact, the Freshman 15 is a myth. Freshman students gain only 2.5 to 3.5 pounds on average during their first year in college, according to a recent study published in Social Science Quarterly. But be advised, the same study finds that college students do gain moderate but steady weight during and after college.

Regular exercise pays dividends, helping control weight, improve one’s mood and control stress. Many universities have excellent fitness centers available for students, but you don't have to become a gym rat to stay fit. Instead of taking the bus or driving to class, walk or ride your bike.

So stay vigilant about diet and exercise.

Get Help

Be Prepared

"Stress, anxiety and homesickness can all lead to overeating.” warns registered dietitian nutritionist, Kristi King, spokesperson with the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Before you snack, ask yourself why you’re doing so. If stress, anxiety or sadness is a factor, take a study break to chat with friends or go on a walk.

Smart Snacks

Late nights and stress can lead to bingeing, so don’t keep junk food on hand.

For students over 21, King recommends light beer and avoiding drinks mixed with regular soft drinks or sugary juices. When drinking, alternate a glass of water between alcoholic beverages. You'll consume less alcohol and fewer calories.

Instead, stock healthy snacks that combine protein and carbohydrates.

Don’t Skip Breakfast

"Breakfast wakes up the metabolism and provides energy to the brain and muscles for the day's activities," says King. "People who eat breakfast tend to eat less throughout the day." King recommends that breakfast be quick and combine carbohydrates and some

protein to help keep students feeling full. Good options include whole-grain toast with peanut butter, a lowfat granola bar and fruit, or a whole-wheat tortilla with hummus and an apple.

Cafeteria 101

The dining hall can be a friend or foe. There may be high-calorie foods and oversized portions, but most universities provide nutritious options too. Opt for foods that are baked, broiled,

steamed, grilled or roasted, while steering clear of foods that are buttered, fried or swimming in cream sauce. When filling your plate at the cafeteria, consider following the US Department of Agriculture’s MyPlate guidelines.

Alcohol

"Alcohol is readily available and can pack on the pounds quickly if you’re not careful," warns King.

If you'd like help creating a healthy meal plan, or want tips for controlling weight, check to see if your university offers nutrition counseling services. Registered dietitian nutritionists are food and nutrition experts, and they can help you ace your health goals. More tips to maintain a healthy weight your freshman year and beyond can be found at www.eatright.org. Going to college means adjusting to a new lifestyle. Don’t let the changes get the better of your health and wellness.

Americans are Finding New Ways to Pay for College Contributed Article StatePoint The majority of American families have an unwavering belief in the value of college -- 85 percent of parents believe that college is an investment in their child’s future, according to a new national study by Sallie Mae. With tuition costs on the rise, families are finding resourceful ways to help ease college costs, from eliminating schools based on price, to forgoing the costly dormitory experience. According to the same study, the use of grants and scholarships are on the rise, and more parents are turning to such tools as 529 college savings plans to fund their children’s education.

While parents are becoming more realistic about funding college, experts say that advanced planning is still not the norm. “The majority of families do not have a financial plan to pay for college. Having one however, increases the likelihood of success, says Jack Remondi, president and CEO of Sallie Mae. To learn more about how Americans are paying for college, visit www.CollegeAnswer.com/Pays2013. In this post-recession environment, the dream of college is not dead. But finding new ways to fund it is becoming more important.

grove City College putS SCienCe in SigHt

STEM Hall, the latest addition to the campus of Grove City College, is a $39.5 million, stateof-the-art showplace where students can prepare for the careers of the future and faculty can conduct cuttingedge research.

The new building takes its name from the acronym that’s become a buzzword in both academia and business. The disciplines STEM encompasses -- science, technology, engineering, and mathematics – are seen by many as critical to ensuring a prosperous and secure future for those who take up their study and for society at large. A decades-long decline in American students’ proficiency in STEM fields has reached a critical point. The days when the U.S. was at or near the top in science and math are gone. Business and industry often can’t find the domestic talent they need to stay competitive and

innovative in a technology-dependent world.

Grove City College has always maintained strong science and engineering programs, with about a third of the College’s 2,500 students enrolled in the Hopeman School of Science, Engineering and Mathematics, which boasts 50 full-time faculty members. STEM Hall provides those students and professors a place where they can learn and teach in a collaborative environment more like a professional research lab than a traditional academic building. The new building is like nothing else on campus. STEM Hall’s brick and stone facade reflects the Gothic Revival styles of the buildings that surround it, but its open interior is a stark contrast to those of its campus neighbors. The building, designed by Philadelphia architectural firm Ballinger, is

anchored by four, glasswalled laboratories on the second and third levels.

“The concept is ‘science in sight,’” Hopeman Dean Stacy Birmingham says. “It’s intended to let people see what scientists do behind closed doors.” The hope is that by demystifying what goes on in the lab, more students will be encouraged to explore STEM studies, according to Birmingham. The 63,000-square-foot building features eight other labs for chemistry, biology and computer science, a lecture hall, a vivarium housing animals used in research, faculty offices, state-of-the-art technology, and an east-facing commons area with floor-to-ceiling SageGlass windows that can be tinted automatically or manually. A skylight the length of the main hall lets in more natural light and reinforces the

idea that STEM Hall is something different.

Students will also find more and larger workspaces than in the College’s current science buildings, hallway walls that double as dryerase boards students can use to work out formulas and diagram problems outside of the classroom, ample space for working in groups and innovative technological features like computer workstations where groups of students can plug their College-issued laptops into common monitors to share their ideas and seek input from their peers and professors. STEM Hall is financed -- like all Grove City College projects -- entirely by private donations. The College accepts no government money and is not subject to regulations that take decisionmaking away from those who know best the College’s needs.

allegHeny College

Allegheny College is the premier college in the country for students with “unusual combinations” of interests, skills and talents.

Over and over again, we hear from leaders in business, government, medicine and education that the future belongs to individuals who are innovators and big picture thinkers, those

who are able to think both analytically and creatively.

It’s this preparation for the global marketplace— and for life—that Allegheny is nationally known for providing. And as Allegheny prepares to celebrate its bicentennial in 2015, our reputation has never been higher. (U.S. News recently recognized us as an “Up-and-Com-

er” for “innovative changes in the areas of academics, faculty, student life, campus, or facilities.”)

Unusual combinations at Allegheny lead to extraordinary outcomes after Allegheny. More than 90% of our graduates who are looking for jobs are hired within eight months, and because of the reputation behind an Allegheny

degree, our students go on to top graduate schools at twice the national average. Do you think college should be about expanding your horizons rather than narrowing your interests?

Fredonia professors are passionate about teaching. Whether they’re in the classroom, on the stage, or in the field, our faculty help you succeed. They’re also involved in research and creative activities — and eager to have you collaborate. Small class sizes are also a Fredonia hallmark: 80% have fewer than 30 students.

that lets you meet, learn from, and live with people from many backgrounds. You’re challenged to think globally, and you can study abroad in a wide range of countries, learning about international issues first-hand.

Fredonia’s focus on continuous improvement is more evident than ever, as construction continues on a new, state-of-the-art Science Center set to open in 2014. The campus also features a new fitness center and a renovated student union. Ultimately, Fredonia is committed to helping you reach your goal: graduation. From

knowledgeable advisors and affordable tuition to our “Fredonia in 4” four-year guarantee, we stand ready to make sure you can meet your goals — and manage your finances. More than 80% of students receive financial aid, and over $3 million in meritand need-based scholarships are available to academically qualified, new and returning students each year.
