FREDONiA OFFiCiALLY DEDiCATES STATE-OF-THE-ART SCiENCE CENTER STORER’S CONTAINER SERVICE

Fredonia
With the “splicing” of a giant double-helix DNA model, the State University of New York at Fredonia officially ushered in a new era in science teaching and learning. Fredonia President Virginia Horvath led hundreds of students, alumni, faculty, staff, administrators and community members in a celebration of the stunning, 92,000-square-foot, four-story Fredonia Science Center. Surrounded by a beautiful courtyard and connected to Houghton Hall (Fredonia’s existing science facility), it will vastly improve the teaching, learning and research opportunities within the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) disciplines across campus. A musical performance began the ceremony, in the form of an original composition created especially for the event by Associate Professor Rob Deemer of the School of Music. Titled, “The Light of Things,” and inspired by William Wadsworth’s poem, “The Tables Turned,” it featured nearly 200 student vocalists, saxophonists and trombonists who were located throughout the atrium, main staircase and second-floor foyer. The speaking portion of the

WE’VE GOT YOU COVERED! 38 TEMPLE ST., FREDONIA 679.0300 332 FLUVANNA AVE., JAMESTOWN 338.0300 DFTCOMMUNICATIONS.COM/ELECTRICAL Hundreds of Fredonia students, professors, administrators and alumni joined elected officials to dedicate the campus’ new Science Center Friday morning, during a unique, “DNA-splicing” ceremony. The $60 million project is being seen by many as a powerful example of the broader and more diverse academic expertise that has been steadily occurring at Fredonia. Submitted Photo.
event was, fittingly, kicked off by a student. Ramses Rodriguez, a master’s degree candidate majoring in Biology, welcomed everyone during the ceremony held in the new building’s atrium. “My experience in the sciences at Fredonia has been amazing. I’ve been given amazing research opportunities that have allowed me to help better understand — and potentially even solve — the real-world issues which our faculty are exploring,” said Rodriguez, a Homestead, Fla., native who earned
a Bachelor of Arts in Applied Music and a Bachelor of Science in Molecular Genetics from Fredonia in May. “The new facility you see behind me will make this amazing work that much more impactful. Its design increases the ways in which students can learn. Its new equipment means there is now so much more that we will know how to do. And all of this will make me more marketable to Ph.D. programs as I prepare to enter a career in medicine or research — or both.” Also fittingly, the event
served to kick off Homecoming Weekend for the 188-year-old university, as the new facility included the dedication of nearly 30 spaces named by benefactors through the Fredonia College Foundation in honor of many accomplished alumni, retired professors, and friends of Fredonia. Many alumni also played a key role in the facility’s planning and design via their roles on Fredonia’s Natural Science Advisory Committee. In addition to Rodriguez, Continued on page 10

dispel one small section of society’s disgruntled loons. And to clarify, I’m not speaking on ‘women’ as a whole, but merely the thought that it’s appropriate to take a precious little girl and teach her the ins and outs of the dark side before she’s even hit puberty. Second, the situation going on in Idaho right now. If you don’t know, a woman and a man, both ordained ministers, are fighting for their business. Again. Why? Because another couple, living in a free country, chose not to provide business to people who are choosing to marry a member of the same sex. This has happened numerous times already (read: bakery in Oregon, farm in upstate New York, just to name a few of the more publicized occasions). The argument, as it were, is that ‘if it were a not-forprofit there wouldn’t be an issue.’ Oh, really? Is that entirely true? Maybe right this minute it is, but let’s not be foolish and thing it’ll stop there. Give an inch, and take a mile. Infringing on the rights of free men and women for choosing to support their own beliefs is just a
step in the direction of tragedy. See, folks, here’s the underlying theme. I touched on this last week, but let’s bring it out again. There seems to be a nature that has arisen in our ‘free’ nation, that ‘rights’ and ‘freedoms’ suddenly become as powerful as ‘tastes’ and ‘flavors.’ What do I mean? A right, by definition, is “a justified claim or entitlement, or the freedom to do something.” The right to vote for leadership is given, and should be given, to every free person. Actually, freedom is given, and should be given, to every living person. But, that freedom does not include the freedom to persecute others for not sharing one’s own beliefs. That is not a ‘right,’ it is wrong. In history, we have a time known as The Middle Ages. Whatever you believe the cause of this time was (personally, I think the Chruch as a whole lacked revelation of what the Bible really was, and how it was to be interpreted which led to a time of great suffering for humanity as a whole), it cannot be disputed that the Church had an immense amount of power
it wielded wrongly. The arm of the Church stretched out and killed anyone who disagreed, which was in staunch disagreement with the teaching of Jesus Christ and the New Testament. That being said, those violations do not give modern-day faithless and non-religious individuals the right to persecute the Church. If my father were to commit a crime and go to prison, you could not rightfully punish me for it – at least not in our civilized society. All of this goes to prove one simple fact – the motivation to destroy the Church, and freedom as a whole, is not based in right thinking. It is based in jealousy and angst, emotions generated by evil. I pray for this great nation, for our president and for our leaders, to make the right decisions and be surrounded by the right people. Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, Green – it doesn’t matter to me. I just want leadership that will uphold rightness based in truth, not feeling. Scott Wise is the editor of the Chautauqua Star.

This week we continue to highlight all our dogs that are six-months and older. We have many different sizes, breeds, ages and personalities. Emma, pictured, is a wonderful nine-year-old yellow lab that came to the shelter when her owner could no longer care for her. She is super sweet, does have some tummy issues and needs special food and is currently being treated for arthritis. She is a great dog for someone looking for a pet that doesn’t need to be exercised for hours each day. If you can provide a great home and receive all the love you can handle in return, stop by the Strunk Road Adoption Center and meet Emma or any of her other friends just waiting for a second chance. Remember all dogs and cats over 6 months old are No Fee Adoptions!!

board of elections announces extended Hours For absentee Voting Contributed Article CCBOE
The Chautauqua County Board of Elections will open extended hours this week and next to accommodate absentee voters for the Nov. 4 General Election, announced Election Commissioners Norman P. Green and Brian C. Abram. The Board of Elections, 7 North Erie St., Mayville, is open normally Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Additionally, the voting office will have 9 a.m. to Noon hours the next two Saturdays Oct. 25 and Nov. 1 and will remain open until 7 p.m. Tuesday Oct. 28 and Wednesday Oct. 29. Qualifications to vote by absentee ballot: * Absent from the county on Election Day. * Unable to appear at the polls due to temporary or permanent illness or disability; or due to being a primary care giver of one or more individuals who are ill or physically disabled.
*Detained in jail awaiting Grand Jury action or confined in prison after conviction for an offense other than a felony. “Voters who apply for an absentee ballot due to a permanent disability have the right to receive an Absentee Ballot for each subsequent election without further application. Simply fi le an application with our office indicating a permanent illness or physical disability. You will then automatically receive an absentee ballot for every election until your registration is canceled. This is particularly something that our seniors with mobility issues find helpful, “ said Green. “Unfortunately, voters must be out of the county on Election Day to receive an absentee ballot and not just attending college, working or temporarily domiciling at the other end of the county,” said Abram, about college voters and voters who work within the county on Election Day. The Board of Elections is a “one stop” absentee balloting loca-
tion where voters can come in and fi ll out an application and cast a vote during the same visit. Information and absentee ballot applications are available at www.votechautauqua.com or by calling 753-4580. Completed ballot applications must be postmarked no later than 7 days before the election or applied for in person at the office no later than 5 p.m. the day before Election Day. If you cannot pick up your ballot, or will not be able to receive it through the mail, you have the right to designate someone to pick it up for you. Only that person designated on your application may pick up and deliver your ballot. Ballots returned to the Board of Elections must be delivered in person or by agent to the Mayville office no later than 9 p.m. Election Day or delivered to any county poll site, or postmarked by USPS and mailed by the day before the election and received no later than the seventh day after the election.

Pumpkin Cookies
Pumpkin Cookies Ingredients Needed: 2 C. Butter, softened 2 C. Granulated sugar 2 tsp. Vanilla extract 15 oz. Pumpkin puree 2 Eggs 2 tsp. Baking powder 2 tsp. Baking soda 1 tsp. Salt 1 tsp. Cinnamon 1 tsp. Nutmeg, optional 4 C. All-purpose flour
By Katy Wise Contributing Writer
Although we may have already had a couple of pumpkin recipes, here is yet another one. Has anyone noticed the surplus of pumpkin recipes lately? They’re everywhere, and I am not complaining about that. Pumpkin flavored goodies are one of the many bonuses of autumn, and before you know it, it will be gingerbread and candy canes instead. So let’s take advantage of the pumpkin abundance while we can, and explore at least one more recipe that captures the flavor of the season. Instructions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare cookie sheets to your own preference, parchment paper is highly recommended. Really, if you haven’t tried this stuff yet, it is awesome! In a large mixing bowl, beat softened butter until creamy (about 30-45 seconds.) Add sugar and vanilla extract, mixing well. Beat in eggs and pumpkin puree, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Add all of the dry ingredients, adding 1 cup of flour at a time. You may have to stir the last cup of flour in using a wooden spoon. Plop large heaping teaspoonfuls of cookie dough onto your cookie sheet. Yes, ‘plop’ is a perfectly acceptable baking term, at least here at HBK. Bake for 10-12 minutes, allow cookies to set for 1 minute on cookie sheet before transferring to a wire cooling rack. Enjoy as they are, or top with frosting. Cream cheese frosting, or even simple powdered sugar icing with a little bit of cinnamon would be perfect on these cookies. For powdered sugar icing, melt one stick of butter in the microwave, then add between three-four cups of powdered sugar. If frosting gets too thick, add hot water by the teaspoonful until you reach a drizzling consistency. You can either add cinnamon directly to icing, or sprinkle on top for garnish. As always, thanks for reading, and happy pumpkin everything season!

raised over $3000, and the staff is hoping to increase that figure, especially since this year all the proceeds will go towards the purchase of a new donation truck. “Our current truck is past retirement,” says Rohler, who notes that the current truck has been in constant use for the last several years. The Community Helping Hands donation truck is used to pick up donations, as well as to deliver items that have been given away or sold in the store. Each year, this local organization helps hundreds of families in Chautauqua County with a “hand up” by providing emergency needs for clothing, household items and furniture.

On Saturday, Nov. 1 the crowds will once again descend on the Gateway Center (31 Water Street, in Jamestown) for the Community Helping Hands’ Emporium, a fundraiser that can only be described as an event. This unique craft show features local vendors, who sell everything from arts and crafts, to food, to flea market items, and even more. There are games and activities for kids, free giveways to everyone who walks in the door, the opportunity to tour the Gateway Center, deals and steals from the CHH Thrift Stores and Furniture Showrooms, and what Executive Director Rev.

Rohler says that between 60-70% of these items are given away to people who just move to the area or get out of prison, or who just find themselves in a situation where resources are limited. “There are so many people who don’t have mattresses to sleep on, pots and pans to cook with, or a table at which to eat or do homework on,” says Rohler, “and part of what we do is help make a home for their family.” The event goes from 9am-2pm, and this year features the opportunity to meet the Southern Tier Express hockey team from the Jamestown Savings Bank Ice Arena, who will be volunteering in the morning. Rohler encourages people who
are interested in the gift basket auction to arrive early, as one of the rules of the auction is that a bidder can immediately take the basket or item they want if they are willing to double the last bid. One of the more unique items for auction is an antique French sideboard with brass hardware. Other baskets vary from kids crafts items to chocolate and coffee baskets to a basket full of all things teddy bears. Local churches like First Presbyterian Church in Jamestown donated some of the baskets. “This truly is a community effort,” says Rohler. To raise the funds needed for a new truck with also be a task accomplished with the support of the entire community, and
the organization plans to continue their fundraising efforts throughout the end of the year. They will be asking for donations from local foundations, but are also looking for sponsors like local churches and businesses. Anyone interested in making a specific donation for the truck may call the Community Helping Hands office at (716) 487- 1488 and speak to Rev. Rohler. There are still spots for vendors, and anyone interested in selling something at the event may call the CHH office for more information or for a registration form Tables are $25 each or two for $40.

Fredonia dedicates new science building, continued from page 1 speakers included President Horvath; President Emeritus Dennis Hefner, under whose leadership the building was designed and construction initiated; and Associate Professor Holly Lawson of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, who served as Project Shepherd. After three years of construction vehicles, chain-link fences and re-routed traffic, Fredonians have finally begun to experience the vision that was discussed by architects, administrators and elected officials during the 2011 groundbreaking ceremony. The new facility has been open since the start of the semester, although a few components were still being completed. No one has minded the dust, however, for a building that dramatically elevates the resources available to hundreds of students and dozens of faculty. The new facility serves about 500 students majoring in Biology, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Molecular Genetics, Environmental Science, Medical Technology, Exercise Science and Science Education. It showcases students as they work alongside faculty mentors in a facility built to spotlight the art of science, with classrooms and laboratories with glass walls facing inside corridors. It features flexible spaces that let students move seamlessly from lectures to hands-on learning, including a main auditorium that allows for an instantaneous switch to small-group, collabora-
tive learning scenarios and applied learning. The new center encourages interdisciplinary research and teaching, and includes plenty of social learning spaces, such as a café and study alcoves, to spark creative collaboration. There are a total of 16 research labs, 10 teaching labs, two computer labs, two classrooms, a 120-seat auditorium, a café adjacent to the main lobby, a student reading room, a second-floor outdoor terrace, three conference rooms, an energy efficient greenhouse and an observatory. The beautifully designed courtyard paving is laid out to resemble geologic strata reaching out to the Science Quad. The building’s planning and construction processes followed Fredonia’s values and education mission. The university created a team of faculty and administrators who, along with Director of Facilities Planning Markus Kessler, attended a workshop on science facility planning. There they had the chance to talk with those who had recently built science buildings on campuses across the U.S. The team also required a project shepherd, and Dr. Lawson — known across campus for her zest for teaching and collaborative learning — was chosen unanimously. She and other team members visited a number of institutions in several states to see what they had created — and what lessons they had learned. “From the start, this
building was designed to align with the ways science works now, and the best ways students can learn science,” explained President Horvath, who was Vice President for Academic Affairs at the time. “We came away with a clear sense of what Fredonia needed to support science learning.” Many sustainable elements have been incorporated into the new facility, for which the university will pursue LEED Silver certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. They include three “garden” green roofs and energyefficient heating/cooling systems; a unique storm water run-off system that prevents soil erosion and flooding; and an energy- and water-efficient greenhouse. “This is exactly the kind of facility that we hoped for back in 2000-01,” President Emeritus Dennis Hefner added. “This is the type of facility that Fredonia Science students deserve, and so desperately need, and I know that, with this facility and the dedicated science faculty who are on this campus, Fredonia will continue its tradition of producing leaders in the field of science.” The project generated an average of 70 tradesmen construction jobs per day over the last three years, with 104 employed at its peak. The State University Construction Fund served as the project manager, while construction management was performed by LeChase Construction
Services of Rochester, N.Y., and construction by The Pike Company, also of Rochester, which employed 48 subcontractors. Other honored guests included College Council Chair Frank Pagano, and several elected officials including U.S. Congressman Tom Reed (23rd New York District); Lori Cornell, regional representative for Governor Andrew Cuomo; New York State Senator Catharine Young (57th District); and New York State Assemblyman Andy Goodell (150th District). Steven Goldberg, a partner with Mitchell/Giurgola Architects, the New York City-based firm which designed the building, also spoke. “This building…represents the best of the potential opportunities that I see coming down the horizon for the United States of America, and that is in our science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields across America,” Congressman Reed said. “And now here, at Fredonia, we’re going to be a part of that leadership that is going to bring that exciting develop-
ment in U.S. education forward.” New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo could not attend, but was represented by Lori Cornell. She shared that seven Fredonia students had been selected to receive full tuition scholarships through the governor’s recently announced STEM incentive program. Governor Cuomo’s office issued a supporting release as well, in which he said, “By offering unparalleled research and learning opportunities to current students, as well as attracting future students interested in a variety of challenging disciplines, this facility will help Fredonia continue to grow as a leading public university and allow our brightest young minds to thrive. I am excited to see this facility officially opened, and I encourage all who utilize it to push the boundaries of scientific knowledge.” “This really is about passing the torch,” added New York State Senator Cathy Young (57th District), who was instrumental in securing the state construction funds needed for this new facility. “[President Hefner] got this project
going… and [he] was able to pass that torch to President Horvath, who took it and ran with it, and we see the results of this today. “And that torch stands for igniting the passion for learning…that thirst for knowledge,” she continued. “Our students are our hope for the future, and so you ignite that hope and that transformation and that infrastructure that we need in New York State. That’s really what today is all about.” Assemblyman Goodell closed the remarks by saying how proud he was to have been involved with this project, which motivated so many elected officials to set aside party lines to ensure that it came to fruition. “We were focused on making a difference and moving this project forward,” he said. “This is more than just a celebration about Fredonia. It is really a celebration of our students, and our future.” The celebration was scheduled to continue well into the evening, including a special, science-themed alumni dinner in the Williams Center, as well as a free fireworks display for the whole campus and community to enjoy.

Chautauqua Institution Names Rossen Milanov as Chautauqua Symphony Orchestra Music Director Contributed Article Chautauqua Institution
Chautauqua Institution is pleased to announce the selection of Rossen Milanov as the ninth music director of the Chautauqua Symphony Orchestra. As music director, Milanov will serve as the principal conductor and artistic director of the CSO and as an advocate for the orchestra and the classical arts within and beyond the Chautauqua community. The 49-year-old Bulgarian-born conductor will begin his responsibilities immediately in preparation for his inaugural summer of residency in 2015. His public debut will take place at the CSO’s season-opening performance on Thursday, July 2, 2015, and he will conduct 10 concerts in the 2015, 2016 and 2017 seasons. “I am very excited and honored to be collaborating with the musicians of the Chautauqua Symphony Orchestra, to catalyze the artistic growth, introduce new ideas, diversify the programming and connect with all of the Chautauqua community in a meaningful and inspiring way!” Milanov said. In September, Milanov was selected as the Columbus Symphony Orchestra’s next music director, beginning with the 2015–16 season. He is currently music director of the Princeton Symphony Orchestra, music director of the professional training orchestra Symphony in C in Camden, New Jersey, and principal conductor of the Orquesta Sinfónica del Principado de Asturias in Spain. Milanov previously served as associate conductor of the Philadelphia Orchestra. At Chautauqua, he joins a team of exceptional artistic directors who are each dedicated to tradition and innovation in the areas of orchestra, opera, theater, dance and visual arts. “I am very pleased to welcome Rossen Milanov to the Chautauqua community, an environment in which his remarkable skills and artistic sensibilities will flourish,” said Thomas M. Becker, president of Chautauqua Institution.
“In collaboration with the CSO, Maestro Milanov will engage Chautauqua audiences of all ages in an enriching relationship with great music and the artistry of gifted musicians.” Milanov’s appointment is the culmination of a search and selection process led by Marty W. Merkley, Chautauqua Institution vice president and director of programming, and Deborah Sunya Moore, associate director of programming. “Rossen was selected for his clear ability to craft bold programming, foster artistry at the highest level, and connect with our current and future community members in a relevant and meaningful way,” Merkley said. “The Institution is thrilled to welcome Maestro Milanov as a leader who will inspire a trajectory of artistic growth and evolution.” A formal Music Director Search Committee provided counsel and recommendations to Merkley and Moore during the final phase of the process, evaluating each of the eight finalists in their appearances as guest conductors throughout the 2014 season. The committee — composed of representatives from the CSO, the Institution’s board of trustees and the Chautauqua community — was aided by surveys completed by CSO musicians and audience members after each performance. “It was a joy to serve on the committee with three of our amazing CSO musicians,” said Karen Arrison, a Chautauqua Institution trustee and Stradivari Society patron. “Their willingness and ability to rise above what may have been their personal opinions and focus on each candidate with the more global charge assigned to us was impressive. Maestro Milanov fit beautifully into that global charge, demonstrating a clear and exciting vision for the future of our beloved CSO.” Milanov led the CSO on July 10, 2014, in performances of the overture to Thomas Adès’ 2004 opera The Tempest, Rachmaninoff’s Symphonic Dances and Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G major, with guest pianist Di
Wu. Milanov previously appeared as a guest conductor at Chautauqua in 2013 and 2011. “The musicians are thrilled to welcome Maestro Milanov into the Chautauqua family,” said Vahn Armstrong, associate concertmaster of the Chautauqua Symphony Orchestra. “We look forward to beginning an exciting new chapter in the storied history of the CSO, and to expressing the Chautauqua mission through ever more vibrant, inspiring, and relevant performances of the great symphonic repertoire.” Milanov has collaborated with some of the world’s pre-eminent artists, including Yo-Yo Ma, Itzhak Perlman, Joshua Bell, Midori, Christian Tetzlaff and André Watts, as well as with such internationally esteemed vocalists as Nicolai Ghiaurov, Vesselina Kasarova, Angela Meade, Measha Brueggergosman, Anne Schwanewilms and Krassimira Stoyanova. During his 11-year tenure with the Philadelphia Orchestra, Milanov conducted more than 200 performances, as associate conductor and as artistic director of the orchestra’s summer home at the Mann Center for the Performing Arts. A well-known figure in North America, Milanov has appeared with numerous chamber, symphony and festival orchestras. Internationally, he has collaborated with orchestras throughout Europe, Australia, South America and the Far East. He is also noted for his versatility and is a welcome presence in the worlds of opera and ballet. Milanov studied conducting at the Curtis Institute of Music and the Juilliard School, where he received the Bruno Walter Memorial Scholarship. He studied oboe and orchestral conducting at the Bulgarian National Academy of Music, and holds a master’s degree in oboe performance from Duquesne University. As the former chief conductor of the Bulgarian National Radio Orchestra and music director of the New Symphony Orchestra, Sofia, he received the Bulgarian Ministry’s Award for Extraordinary
Contribution to Bulgarian Culture. He was named Bulgaria’s Musician of the Year in 2005, among the top 100 most influential people in New Jersey in 2014 and won an ASCAP award in 2011 for his programming with Princeton Symphony Orchestra. “Rossen Milanov’s understanding of Chautauqua Institution and his clear desire to expand the symphony’s incorporation into the community were particularly impressive,” said Anita Lin, a community member of the Music Director Search Committee and recent appointee to President Barack Obama’s Advisory Committee on the Arts. “The thorough search process revealed Mr. Milanov’s extraordinary passion for serving both as an advocate for the CSO and for the unique role Chautauqua plays in the American cultural landscape.” The Chautauqua Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1929 and today continues its legacy as the center of musical life at Chautauqua Institution. Performing 20 concerts in the Amphitheater including two concerts accompanying Chautauqua Dance, and two productions in collaboration with Chautauqua Opera, the CSO is a tenured union orchestra that draws its membership from around the nation and around the world. It has grown from its original complement of 52 musicians to the current roster of 74 active members. The pre-eminent expression of lifelong learning in the United States, Chautauqua Institution comes alive each summer with a unique mix of fine and performing arts, lectures, interfaith worship and programs, and recreational activities. Over the course of nine weeks, more than 100,000 people visit Chautauqua and participate in programs, classes and community events for all ages — all within the beautiful setting of a historic lakeside village. Smithsonian magazine named Chautauqua as the No. 1 “Best Small Town to Visit in 2014” in the cover story of its April 2014 issue

Keeping the Faith
Dear Pastor, I just don’t feel like I’m happy. Is something wrong with me? I’m glad you asked this question! This time of year always seems to be a big time for change. The school
year has settled into routine and the holiday flurry hasn’t quite begun (but tell that to the retailers!). These “lull” times may cause people to reevaluate where they are in their own lives. It’s during this process that an individual may realize that they’re unsatisfied with their life. The problem may be, however, that they aren’t sure how they got to this point and so may be unsure how to “get over it.” I believe, using God’s Word, that I can help free you from this burden and bring you to a place of living each day in God’s joy. As a Pastor, I’ve often had people sharing about their unhappiness. This is usually
followed-up (or proceeded by) long lists of the things that are wrong in their life. Money problems, relationship problems, health problems, and/or a combination of all of these usually make the list of why they aren’t happy. Expecting me to “fi x” all their problems, they are usually quite surprised when I tell them “you don’t need to be happy….you need to be joyful!” What does this mean? Let’s begin with looking at the definition of happiness. When people talk about being happy, they’re usually associating happiness with the acquisition of “good things” and the deliverance from or absence of “bad stuff ”

in their lives. A sick person usually thinks, “I’ll be happy when I’m well.” A person with money problems is usually waiting for “his ship to come in.” This demonstrates the shortcomings of happiness. It’s dependant on circumstances. This makes us vulnerable and suggests that we cannot be happy unless or until our problems are resolved. It also sets us up for the deception that unhappiness is inevitable when we have to deal with problems. What does God say about happiness? Very little... if you define happiness as “the absence of troubles.” He does, however, tell us a lot about “joy”. Romans 14:17 says, “The Kingdom

of God is not a matter of what we eat or drink but of living a life of goodness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.” Joy is part of our inheritance! Next week we’ll look at of joy in contrast to happiness.

dealers know that shoppers are more likely to buy a car once they've had it at home, where they'll grow a little more comfortable with the idea of owning the car.

dealership carries some serious theft, damage and mileage risks by letting a customer bring a vehicle home for the night. Nonetheless, if it's important to you, don't be afraid to ask.

With that background, Dr. Jabot remarked, Dutton was the ideal candidate for this new mission. “Laurie is a perfect fit,” he noted, pointing to Dutton’s elementary education training and strong background and interest in science. “She’s one of the best students I ever had, is very responsible and will make a great all-around future teacher.”Dutton is employing a “placebased” approach in her year-long AmeriCorps VISTA assignment. “We are bringing the community to student learning,” she explained. “When we are teaching about watersheds, we can map out where the students live and show them where their water goes. That’s the reason why we feel this is going to be a success. We’re going to engage students by connecting their world with learning.” She organized a science day in October for the entire student body of Dunkirk’s School 4 at Point Gratiot Park. “Students learned about
the watershed, about how the Great Lakes were formed, about pollution,” she explained. They rotated among seven learning activities using the “Great Lakes in My World,” a highly praised educational kit that features a variety of indoor and outdoor activities for K-8 students. “The students had a great time. I had one teacher tell me that a couple of her students had never touched sand before, so to me, that was a success,” Dutton said. Conducting community outreach events in targeted communities is a key objective identified by Dutton to promote STEM careers and education. At the recent Agricultural Days, held in Sinclairville and hosted the Cornell Cooperative Extension Service, Dutton distributed literature that connects STEM careers to the local 4-H program. She participates in meetings of two organizations, the Western New York STEM Hub and Chautauqua County Education Coalition, which bring together school administrators
and industry leaders to discuss work-place skills and related concerns. Dutton has also met with area teachers to discuss the four-unit science lesson plan for fourth grade students that she and Dr. Jabot developed that draws communities into student learning through hands-on activities and inquiry-based learning. She plans to introduce this new curriculum at Sinclairville Elementary School in November. Also on her agenda is collaborating with Dream It. Do It Western New York, part of a national workforce development initiative to expand the pool of skilled workers in manufacturing. Dutton will utilize customer-satisfaction surveys, for both students and teachers, to assess the effectiveness of her programs and initiatives. As a bonus, Dutton will
spend two weeks in Belize during January 2015 to work with Fredonia pre-service teacher candidates at a school that serves special education students. Jabot, who collaborates with Dutton almost daily, envisions a greater use of AmeriCorps VISTA workers to promote STEM education and careers. “There are so many opportunities in the STEM fields that I think it would be a missed opportunity not to introduce them earlier in the schools,” he said. Joining the AmeriCorps VISTA program was an opportunity that Dutton, whose career goal is to become a full-time teacher, couldn’t resist. “I was given the opportunity to return to school later in life, and when I found out about this opportunity I thought it was a great idea to give back to my community. Science and biology have always been near and dear to me.”

To catch the virus, a person must have close physical contact with the bodily fluids of a person who is sickened by the virus or the dead body of an Ebola victim.” The New York State Department of Health has issued a Commissioner’s Order to all hospitals, diagnostic and treatment centers, and ambulance services in New York State, requiring that they meet training requirements for personal protective equipment and establish and follow protocols for identification, isolation and medical evaluation and treatment of patients requiring care. As part of the State’s preparedness plan, unannounced drills currently occurring at hospitals and health care facilities will be expanded to college campuses as well as subway and mass transit areas.

Ebola can cause disease in humans and nonhuman primates (monkeys, gorillas, and chimpanzees). “Because we are entering flu season and the initial symptoms of Ebola and influenza are generally the same, travel history is critical,” said Schuyler. “We have a number of people living in Chautauqua County who regularly travel to Africa, often on mission trips, so it is not out of the realm of possibility that we could see travelers returning from the affected regions of Africa and we are prepared.” Schuyler says that as with any communicable disease, prevention is key. There is no FDA-approved vaccine available for Ebola.

FREDONiA MEN'S SWiMMiNg FEATuRES LOTS OF NEW FACES Contributed Article FSU Sports Information Dept.
Last season, the men's swimming and diving team had its best-ever finish in the tenure of head Coach Arthur Wang with a second-place finish at the SUNYAC Meet. It will be a challenge to maintain that success this year with the graduation loss of nine seniors. Still, Wang hopes to be in the top three in the conference by season's end, perhaps led by a strong sophomore class. This year's edition features only two seniors and four juniors. Eleven freshman have been brought in to make up for graduation losses. Although only six sophomores are on the team, the class features the most overall talent. Team captains this year are senior Justin Hawes, junior Will Baker and sophomore Adam Clouthier. Hawes is described as one of the hardest workers on the team and is very dedicated. He competes in the breast stroke and distance races. The only other senior, Chris Murray, specializes in the butterfly. Baker is the top returning freestyler. The other juniors are Liam Jones and diver Rafael Santiago. Jones earned points at the SUNYAC meet last year, finishing fifth in the 100-yard butterfly. The strong sophomore class is headed by the All-SUNYAC Clouthier, who won the 200-yard breast stroke and set the Fredonia team and pool records in that same event. Fellow sophomore Troy Lubanski was fourth in the 200-yard IM at SUNYACs. Kris Harris (breast stroke/ butterfly) has a lot of potential and

should see improvement in his times this season. The freshmen class is made up of eight swimmers and a pair of divers. Coach Wang feels a number of them will eventually contribute, but as with a lot of freshmen, it may take some time. Wang pointed out a couple of freshmen he thought would have an impact sooner than later. Jake Hewitt is "versatile in the fly and distances." Wang also mentioned Steven Garcia. "He will help us in the breast stroke early on." Other freshmen swimmers include William Bradley, Julian Canavan, Michael Craven, Graham Jones, Nathan Link and Matthew Travers. As has been the team tradition, the divers will add points to the Devils totals. Sophomore Jeff Matter was the Outstanding Diver at the SUNYAC meet as a freshman. Fellow sophomore Arron Carlson was an Honorable Mention All American, and is the team's " top diver with the attitude to go with it," said Wang.
Santiago is the veteran member of the divers. The junior was a qualifier for the regional Zone Meet last year and just missed qualifying for the NCAA Meet. Three other divers waiting to climb the ranks are sophomore Jacob Storms and freshmen Alex Carl and Jordan Giordano. Wang feels this if things come together, any one of the three can qualify for the Zone Meet. The team opens up Saturday at Ithaca, where they take on the Bombers and Brockport in a tri-meet. 2013-14 All-SUNYAC Blue Devils First Team John Estanislau 50 free, 100 free Adam Clouthier 200 breast, 100 breast Jeff Matter 1 meter dive, 3 meter dive Second Team Adrian Van Hall 200 free Eric Jordan 100 back

COMMENTARY, CONTiNuED FROM PAgE 24
Stefan Gestwicki is the sports editor of the Chautauqua Star. Comments on this story of any other can be directed to stefan.gestwicki@ star-mediagroup.com. Okay, anyone that is still reading, hang onto your hats. Here it comes: If the National Football League playoffs began today (Monday, Oct. 20), the National Football Conference teams that would earn byes into the second round would be the Dallas Cowboys and the Arizona Cardinals. Oh, and the Buffalo Bills would be playing in the wild card round. That sound you just heard was the millions (yes, millions) of readers that didn't heed my warning and just had their minds blown. To be fair, this is being written prior to the Monday Night Football game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Houston Texans. I'm fairly certain the winner of that game supplants the Bills as the last wild card team in the AFC, but seeing as how there are still 10 weeks of football, it's a little premature to think about that anyway. Do you know what it's not too early to look at?
My preseason predictions. Prior to looking back at them, I feel like most of my picks are looking pretty good except for the Cowboys inexplicably being 6-1. I had them picking in the top-10 in next year's draft for sure. So now I'll pull up my preseason article (starnewsdaily.com contains tons of past articles, etc.) and we'll comb through the divisions. AFC EAST Currently the New England Patriots (5-2) lead the pack, but the Buffalo Bills (4-3) and the Miami Dolphins (33) are certainly within shouting distance with the New York Jets (1-6) a distant fourth. The Dolphins beat the Pats, the Pats beat the Bills and the Bills beat the Dolphins, so as of now, the tie-breaker scenarios are cloudy at best, but there are still plenty of head-to-head contests left on the schedule. The Patriots were an easy preseason pick to finish first in this division and it certainly looks like they'll roll their way to another division title. The Bills are probably the big surprise here. I had them finishing last, but an unexpected 3-0 record against the NFC North has Buffalo looking okay in the standings even if the team on the field often looks less than impressive. Miami has looked great certain weeks and horrible others. The Jets have failed to navigate
a brutally difficult early schedule, but I still contend that they're better than a 1-6 team. My new projection would be Patriots, Dolphins, Bills, Jets in that order. AFC NORTH There are surprises abound in this division. The Cincinnati Bengals (3-2-1) began the season with three straight wins and looked like the best team in the NFL, but have gone winless in three games since. They were my pick to win the division and I think they'll still do it. Injuries haven't been kind to the offense, though, and Andy Dalton is struggling without his best receivers (A.J. Green, Marvin Jones and Tyler Eifert). The Baltimore Ravens (5-2) have an impressive +89 point differential and are coming off of a thorough trouncing of the Atlanta Falcons. With a two-win lead on the Bengals, the Ravens have a comfortable lead in the division, but all four teams are at .500 or better, so this race could be intriguing. The Pittsburgh Steelers (3-3) play the day this is being written, but have looked very unimpressive. They were kind of my surprise pick to finish second in this division, but that's not a pick I feel very comfortable about any more. The Cleveland Browns (3-3) tantalized their fans with that big win over the Steelers, but then followed that by getting trounced by the previously win-

less Jaguars. So yeah, another last-place finish wouldn't be surprising. My new projection would be Bengals, Ravens, Steelers, Browns, which doesn't stray too much from my preseason projections. AFC SOUTH Predicting the Indianapolis Colts (5-2) to win this division was like shooting fish in a barrel. After winning five games in a row, Andrew Luck and Co. basically have a stranglehold on this division and I'm quite confident that it's a lead they won't relinquish. The Colts are second to the Ravens with a +80 point differential. The Houston Texans (3-3) were the worst team in the NFL last season, but have already outperformed last year's win total. I had them finishing third in the division and I'm going to stand by that despite their standing as second in the divi-
sion right now. I mean, the division, if not the Ryan Fitzpatrick is still entire AFC, if not the their quarterback. entire NFL.

Potsdam Rallies Past Devils In OT, 4-3 Contributed Article FSU Sports Information Dept.
After a disappointing loss Friday against Plattsburgh, the Fredonia Blue Devils men's soccer team responded well in the first half of an important SUNYAC men's soccer game Saturday afternoon against the Potsdam Bears. The Bears, however, would prove that they were up to the challenge in the second half to pull out a 4-3 overtime victory at University Stadium. Eduardo Figueroa picked up the decisive score for Potsdam after an long run down the field with 6:22 remaining in the first overtime. Ryan Keller (East Aurora, N.Y./East Aurora) scored two goals for the Blue Devils, and Paul Reinis (Webster, N.Y./Webster Schroeder) had one. Keller's second goal put the Blue Devils in the lead, 3-2, with 21:40 remaining. The Bears, who were down 2-0 at halftime, rallied once again with Stephen Auyer scoring the equalizer -- his second goal of the game -- in the 87th minute before Figueroa netted the gamewinner 3:38 into the first overtime. Goalkeeper Sammy Torrelli (Akron, N.Y./Akron) made five saves in net for Fredonia. Cliff Bondi also scored for the Bears while Potsdam goalkeeper Nick Davies made three saves. Reinis opened the scoring in the 19th with a move past a Potsdam defender inside the box and a quick shot. Two minutes later, Keller scored directly off his own free kick from outside the box to gave the Blue Devils a 2-0 lead. Potsdam cut the Fredonia lead in half four minutes into the second half as Auyer unloaded a shot from outside the box. The Bears then evened the score in the 58th minute on Bondi's goal. It

followed a Potsdam shot and save by Torrelli. The ball stayed pinned against the right post before Bondi cleaned up the play. Fredonia pulled back ahead in the 69th minute as Keller crossed the ball into the box where Mohamed Hussein (Buffalo, N.Y./International Prep. School at Grover) was positioned. Hussein was taken down inside the box, resulting in a Blue Devil penalty kick. Head coach P.J. Gondek sent Keller out to take the kick and his shot was true. The Blue Devils held the lead until, with 2:49 remaining, Auyer blasted a ball through a maze of players on a play which began with a Potsdam throw-in. The game stayed tied until the end of regulation, and the two teams headed to overtime, which set the stage for Figueroa's heroics.

But fear not, Lost Cities: The Board Game is slightly easier to find, though also currently out of print. It's a game that frequents the table with the Knights of the Card Table. Let's take a closer look at it. BACKGROUND Lost Cities: The Board Game is designed by the great Reiner Knizia and was published by Rio Grande Games in 2008. It can be played with 2-4 players. Having played with all three options, four players certainly is the best, but the game works just fine with two or three. The suggested age for this game is 8 and up, but there's no text and could easily be taught to a younger player. Playing time is listed at 30 minutes, but often takes more time than that. INTRODUCTION Lost Cities: The Board Game is clearly based on the original Lost Cities. The players take on the role of explorers
Knight of the card table 27 Lost Cities: The Board Game
searching for treasure, artifacts, relics, etc. in an Indiana Jones-esque world. The components are very nice, consisting of a deck of cards, a mess of tiles and tokens, as well as four sets of different colored meeple. The game board is beautifully illustrated and the tokens are nice quality as well. The cards feature an easily overlooked, but very neat feature. Each of the five different colored cards shows one of the lost cities. But as the numbers increase, the picture of said city gets closer and closer. The game is extremely easy to learn and teach because the rulebook is very straightforward and simple. The game itself is very simply, in fact, but that doesn't make it bad by any means. MECHANICS The goal of the game is to simply have the most money. The game can be played with either the short varient, which is only one round, or the long varient, which is three rounds. I'd always suggest the long varient as it's not really all that long, but gives a better experience. On a player's turn, they simply play one of the eight cards from their hand and then draw a card. That's it. Well, there's a little more to it than that, but that's really all a player's turn consists of. The game board shows five colored paths with each step of that path having a different point
value on it. The first step is worth -20, showing that you have to spend money to make money on this expedition. But the final step of the path is worth 50 points. Points are turned in for money at the end of each round, so I'll be using the terms interchangeably. To advance one of the meeple down a path, cards of that color must be played in ascending order. Therefore, starting with a low number such as zero or one, gives a player much more room to build up on. Whereas starting with a six or seven doesn't leave much room to get that meeple down the path. Also, one of the five meeple is what my gaming group calls "the big kahuna" but it's basically just a slightly larger meeple. Whichever spot he's on at the end of the round is worth double the points. Moving him all the way to the end can be worth 100 points. There are three different types of tiles that are shuffled up and distributed throughout the paths at the beginning of each round. Landing on spots with those tiles will activate different abilities. The "bridge" tiles will allow that player to move any of his/her meeple one space forward on its track. This can be great to move that big kahuna along. There are also just straight point tiles. When a player lands on one of those spots, he/
she takes money from the supply and adds it to their stack. The tiles stay on the board and each other player can earn those points, too. The third type of tile are the artifacts. The rulebook refers to them as "artefacts" but I'll choose to spell it correctly. These aren't worth anything by themselves, but are scored at the end of the third round (or first if you're playing the short game). There is a track along the top of the game board that says how many points are scored for how many artifacts a player has collected during the game. These can be worth a ton of points. Each round lasts until either five different meeple have reached the seventh or later spot on a pathway or until the deck of cards runs out. One thing I forgot to mention was that instead of playing a card, a player can discard a card into one of five different discard piles (one for each color). The risk of this is that the other players can draw from those discard piles instead of
drawing from the top of the deck, so you have to be careful not to throw away cards that another player can use. OVERVIEW This is a really fun game. I purchased it thinking it would be best with two players, like the original Lost Cities. That actually turned out to be the exact opposite case. It's okay with two players and pretty good with three players, but it's most enjoyable with four players. There's a ton of luck in this game, too. But if you're against playing board games with luck, then you're probably just going to play chess. However, it can be frustrating when you simply can't draw anything lower than eight while your opponent starts off all of their colors with zeros, ones and twos. It's fun to see how players attack different paths. I really like to scoop up as many of the artifacts as I can, but my wife is all about trying to get the free points scattered around the board. Another player in our game group almost solely concentrates on his big
kahuna. There's really no right way or wrong way to do it, which creates a lot of replayability. TO OWN OR NOT TO OWN This is a very good game and one that I enjoy thoroughly, but I'm hesitant to call it a must-own game because it's out of print and therefore slightly expensive for what it is. You could spend $40 on eBay and get yourself a sealed copy of this game, but if you have $40 to spend on a game, I could recommend a bunch of better games. This is, however, a very family-friendly game. If you are a family of four and love playing board games, this one should be in your collection. Hopefully it will be reprinted.

up to last week's game and this one should be another punch in the mouth. Not only have they not played an offense like Denver's, but the Broncos defense could make Rivers' day a long one. Rookie running back Branden Oliver will need to be good to take some pressure off his quarterback. PICK VS. SPREAD: Broncos (-7.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Broncos. GREEN BAY PACKERS (5-2) at NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (2-4) Here's a stat for you: Since throwing a Week 1 interception against Seattle (a throw that went in and out of the hand of wide receiver Jordy Nelson), Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has thrown 18 touchdowns and zero interceptions. He's thrown at least three touchdowns with zero interceptions in each of the last four games, setting an NFL record. Yeah, the guy is really, really good. Both Nelson and fellow wide receiver Randall Cobb have caught a touchdown in each of the last four games. Think about that for a minute. My goodness. The scariest part is that this offense probably hasn't even hit its full stride yet. Against a putrid Saints defense, this Packers offense could probably put up a 50-burger. The Saints totally blew it last week against another NFC North team

in their 24-23 loss to the Lions. It was a classic Saints performance. Drew Brees threw for 342 yards, but the team only put up 23 points thanks to a pair of turnovers and a terrible running game. Mark Ingram is reportedly coming back from injury this week, but will he be the guy we saw in Weeks 1 and 2 of this year or will he be the guy we saw in years one and two of his career? The bottom line is that this is a Saints defense that was torched by Matthew Stafford, who was playing without Calvin Johnson. This is going to be to a red-hot Aaron Rodgers with his full cast of receivers. There's no way the Saints slow that machine down. PICK VS. SPREAD: Packers (+1). STRAIGHT PICK: Packers. DETROIT LIONS (5-2) at ATLANTA FALCONS (2-5)
In Atlanta, there's another matchup of a very good NFC North team against a fairly horrid NFC South team. While the Packers are dismantling the Saints, the Lions will be making the Falcons look like Pee-Wee League players. Yes, the Lions certainly got lucky to beat the Saints last week after Brees inexplicably threw a late interception and the defense decided it'd be a good idea to let Golden Tate simply walk through all 11 defenders on his way to the end zone. But as bad as the Saints are, the Falcons might actually be a worse team. Yes, the offense is okay, but then again, they put up all of seven points on the Ravens last week. And the Lions defense is much, much better than the Ravens. Being at home might help the Falcons, as they're an abysmal
0-4 on the road this season. If the Lions get Megatron back, look for the offense to really explode. If not, the Lions still probably win this game, but it'll be much closer. The Falcons defense is just simply among the worst in the league. Until they fix those issues, the Falcons are doomed to waste the primes of Matt Ryan and Julio Jones. Actually, it'll be interesting to see if Mike Smith keeps his job as the losses pile up in Atlanta. PICK VS. SPREAD: Falcons (+4). STRAIGHT PICK: Lions. ST.

Self-proclaimed Expert Picks, continued from page 28 defending champion Seahawks while the Chiefs simply used an efficient offense to keep Philip Rivers and the Chargers offense on the sideline. Rams quarterback Austin Davis has been better than expected. Maybe that's not even fair. This guy wasn't expected to do anything, let alone lead his team to a win against the Seahawks. The running game got a nice boost from rookie Tre Mason, but with Zac Stacy and Benny Cunningham still in the mix, it's tough to say who'll get the carries. The Rams were a feel-good story last week, but smoke and mirrors can only get you so far. The Chiefs' win was more legitimate, I think. They went on the road and simply outplayed their opponent. Alex Smith's stats are predictably unimpressive, but the running game is among the best in the league. Someone in the receiving corps needs to step up and provide Smith a reliable weapon, however, or this offense won't be good enough to carry this team to the playoffs. The defense
should be able to stop the Rams offense in this one, especially with the raucous Arrowhead Stadium crowd behind them. PICK VS. SPREAD: Rams (+6.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Chiefs. HOUSTON TEXANS (3-4) at TENNESSEE TITANS (2-5) Ah, the old battle for the middle of the division. What draws viewers better than a pair of mediocre, sub-.500 teams that have terrible quarterback play, average defenses and no chance of winning the Super Bowl? At least the Houston Texans have a couple of superstars on their roster, but that almost makes them less watchable. For instance, you would have thought J.J. Watt was the only player on either team during Monday Night Football's game against the Steelers last week. Even on runs away from Watt, the announcers would comment that "Watt is in pursuit" even when he was blocked cold 15 yards behind the play. Yes, Watt is a transcendent player. Yes, he seems like a super nice guy. Yes, he's a Wisconsin Badger. But enough

is enough. If the Texans win this game, it'll be on the legs of Arian Foster. He has looked awesome this year. The Titans have nothing going for them. They lost a game to Colt McCoy last week. They have already taken themselves out of the running for No. 1 pick in next year's draft by accidentally winning two games, but this is not a good team. There's not much more to be said about the Titans. PICK VS. SPREAD: Texans (-1.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Texans. MINNESOTA VIKINGS (2-5) at TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS (1-5) Oof. And you thought the Texans-Titans game was unwatchable. The Vikings lost on a last-second touchdown by the Bills last week. This game will be their second straight road game and that is always a red flag, especially when the team is already pretty lousy. Yes, the Vikings are lousy. Teddy Bridgewater has shown flashes, but he was not good at all against the Bills. The running game didn't get going. The defense couldn't stop Kyle Orton when it mattered most. The Bucs are coming off of their bye and now hosting a team playing its second straight road game. Normally, that's a recipe for an easy win, but this is the Bucs we're talking about. We're talking about a team with Mike Glennon as its

starting quarterback. That said, teams coming off byes generally have an advantage. Even though the Bucs are 0-3 at home so far. The Tampa heat might play a part in this one. PICK VS. SPREAD: Buccaneers (-3). STRAIGHT PICK: Buccaneers. SEATTLE SEAHAWKS (3-3) at CAROLINA PANTHERS (3-3-1) Three weeks ago, these two teams seemed like they were on a collision course for the NFC Championship game. As it stands right now, the Panthers would make the playoffs, but only because the NFC South is terrible. The Seahawks, the defending Super Bowl champions, wouldn't even be playing a playoff game. The problem for both teams is the defense. The Panthers lost Greg Hardy to a suspension, but no one could have seen this total collapse coming. They've allowed 30+ points in four straight games.
While the Seahawks don't have the highestpowered offense in the league, they're certainly capable of putting up another 30 points. The advantage the Panthers have is that the game is at home. Seattle is a long ways from Carolina and the weather is very different. History might be on Carolina's side. Seattle unexpectedly traded away Percy Harvin. They gave up a first-rounder, a thirdrounder and a whole lot of guaranteed money for eight games with Harvin. The Seahawks won the Super Bowl, so I suppose you could argue that it was worth it, but it'll be interesting to hear the facts about what Harvin did in Seattle that made him get the boot so quickly. They're 0-1 without him, but Doug Baldwin will finally get a chance to prove just how good he is. Russell Wilson will also step it up. PICK VS. SPREAD: Panthers (+5). STRAIGHT PICK:
Seahawks. BALTIMORE RAVENS (5-2) at CINCINNATI BENGALS (3-2-1) This game comes at either the perfect time or the worst time for the Bengals. Sure, they haven't won a game in their last three tries. Sure, their offense is struggling and their defense can't stop anyone. But this is a home game against the team they're chasing in the division. The home crowd is going to be rowdy and stud receiver A.J. Green might just be back in action. It's definitely too early to call this one a mustwin game, but the Bengals are probably looking at it that way. Andy Dalton was simply awful last week and he's going to have to turn it around against a Ravens defense that allowed just seven points to the high-powered Falcons offense. Gio

The Bengals are undefeated (2-0-1) at home, so they'll be happy to be back in Cincy. Joe Flacco led the Ravens to another easy win last week. At 5-2, they've certainly exceeded expectations once the Ray Rice events went down. This is a tough team. Steve Smith and Torrey Smith have been very good at wide receiver and Justin Forsett has been solid at running back. They're going to do damage against a Bengals defense that has struggled lately. AFC North games are always hardhitting battles. Both teams want this one. PICK VS. SPREAD: Ravens (+1). STRAIGHT PICK: Ravens. MIAMI DOLPHINS (3-3) at JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS (1-6) While this is technically a road game for the Dolphins, don't be surprised to see a whole lot of Miami teal in the stands in Jacksonville. The Jaguars are terrible once again and fans aren't exactly flocking to see their team clobbered. Miami has played well lately. After nearly knocking off the Packers on the road, the Dolphins handled the Bears with relative ease last week. The pass rush has been as advertised and could make a long day for NFL interception
leader Blake Bortles. Ryan Tannehill has shown great improvement the last few weeks and should be able to continue his hot streak against the Jags. Bortles, meanwhile, has seemingly taken steps back the last few weeks, despite earning a win last week. The defense was surprisingly stout against the Browns last week, but that seemed to be an outlier in an otherwise terrible season. Denard Robinson was something of a revelation as the starting running back last week, but let's remember that this guy was a college quarterback, so let's not get carried away. PICK VS. SPREAD: Dolphins (-5.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Dolphins. CHICAGO BEARS (3-4) at NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS (5-2) Here's another matchup of teams headed in very opposite directions. The Patriots have won three straight games after getting clobbered on national television. This is a team that has a Hall of Fame quarterback, a Hall of Fame coach and plenty of weapons on both sides of the ball. The Pats are 3-0 at home and have had 10 days to prepare for this game after last playing on Thursday night against the Jets. Yes, there are some major injury concerns, but haven't we all learned our lesson about doubting the Patriots? The Bears will simply never win consistently
with Jay Cutler at quarterback. The guy has been around forever now and has always been the same player. When he takes care of the ball, his team wins. When he's careless, they lose. It sounds like a simple solution, but Cutler continues to throw inexcusable interceptions. This is an offense that should lead the NFL in scoring, but instead they're somewhere in the middle. The defense has actually been better than many people expected, but in a brutal division, 3-4 isn't going to cut it. PICK VS. SPREAD: Bears (+6.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Patriots. BUFFALO BILLS (4-3) at NEW YORK JETS (1-6) Here's a game that almost no one outside of New York State cares about, but will certainly be the center of attention throughout the state on Sunday afternoon. The Bills are 2-1 since Kyle Orton was named starting quarterback for E.J. Manuel. Orton's been far from great, but when fans are used to trash, even average looks pretty great. The issue for the Bills is injuries to the running backs. Both Fred Jackson and C.J. Spiller are out for an extended time after being hurt in last week's win. Bryce Brown will get his first action as a Bill and Boobie Dixon will also get some carries, though he hardly looked like an every down back last week.
Sammy Watkins has been as advertised, catching a pair of touchdowns last week. The Jets' secondary has no one that can even come close to matching up with Watkins. The Jets offense will include a new wrinkle this week as Percy Harvin will be making his debut. He comes with a big name, but he had been anything but productive with Seattle this season. Geno Smith has no excuses now. He's got Eric Decker and Harvin. That's a solid 1-2 punch. Chris Ivory has been great running the ball, but the Bills have been among the best in the league at taking away the run. They'd be wise to keep that up and make Geno try to win the game. The odds of that happening are pretty slim. In the Jets' defense, however, they've played Aaron Rodgers, Jay Cutler, Matthew Stafford, Phillip Rivers, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady in their last six games. Few teams would do well in that stretch. PICK VS. SPREAD: Bills (+3). STRAIGHT PICK: Bills. PHILADELPHIA EAGLES (5-1) at ARIZONA CARDINALS (5-1) This game isn't just for the birds. Get it? Birds? Anyway, this game has enormous playoff ramifications already. One of these two teams will jump out to 6-1, meaning a .500 record down the stretch probably still gets them into

the playoffs. For the Cardinals, another win would go a long way towards winning that brutal NFC West while the Eagles are trying to keep pace with the Cowboys. The Eagles were off last week and fans are hoping that the offense got right during that break. The defense hasn't actually allowed points in the last two weeks as that unit pitched a shutout the game before the bye. Going on the road in the NFL is never easy, but it's slightly easier when coming off the bye. LeSean McCoy showed signs of life before the bye, but quarterback Nick Foles must be better. Arizona has a history of struggling against the tight
end, so perhaps Foles looks for Zach Ertz in this one. The Cardinals got Carson Palmer back a couple weeks ago and he continues to lead this team to victories. Andre Ellington is an all-purpose yards monster while Michael Floyd and Larry Fitzgerald make up one of the league's better wide receiver tandems. It's said every week, but what this defense is doing with all the injuries it's suffered is astounding. This might be Arizona's biggest test thus far. PICK VS. SPREAD: Cardinals (-2.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Cardinals. OAKLAND RAIDERS (0-6) at Continued on pg 31

Self-proclaimed Expert Picks, continued from page 30 CLEVELAND BROWNS (3-3) Karma can be a…unpleasant person. After Browns fans spent a week gloating about beating the snot out of the rival Steelers, the Browns went down to Jacksonville and became the Jaguars' first (and possibly only) victim of the season. Brian Hoyer was simply dreadful in that game, leading to more talk of Johnny Manziel taking over at quarterback. While that might be a little extreme after one bad game, Hoyer must improve. If the Browns lose back-to-back games against previously winless teams, the entire city of Cleveland might just implode. Luckily, the Raiders might actually be worse than the Jaguars (if that's physically possible) and this game is at home. Look for more of the running game out of the Browns offense. The Raiders are trash.
PICK VS. SPREAD: Browns (-7). STRAIGHT PICK: Browns. INDIANAPOLIS COLTS (5-2) at PITTSBURGH STEELERS (4-3) Someone has to put an end to the Colts' fivegame winning streak, right? Well, maybe, but it won't be the Steelers. The Colts do one thing very, very well — throw the ball with Andrew Luck, T.Y. Hilton, Reggie Wayne and Co. The Steelers have little-to-no pass rush. Luck is going to have all the time in the world to find his receivers and there's no doubt that he'll do just that. Indianapolis has all the pieces to jump out to an early lead and Pittsburgh simply doesn't have the tools to erase a big deficit. For the Steelers to win this game, they'll need to be effective on third down and keep Luck off the field. Le'Veon
Bell is having a nice season and he'll have to run hard against an underrated defense. Antonio Brown has been relatively quiet the last few weeks, too. He might be in for a breakout performance. Trent Richardson might be out, too, which would give the Steelers a slight advantage on defense. The Colts are pretty one-dimensional anyway, but that would almost take away the running game all together. PICK VS. SPREAD: Colts (-3.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Colts. WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM (2-5) at DALLAS COWBOYS (6-1) Two words define this game: Colt McCoy. Remember him? Yeah, he's the starting quarterback for the Football Team. Dallas has been beating everyone in sight. Bad quarterbacks, Super Bowl-winning quarter-

back, it hasn't mattered. The Cowboys just keep winning. If you think McCoy is going to be the one to expose the Dallas defense, well, you probably have never watched football before. The Football Team did beat the Titans on a last-second field goal last week, but the Titans are horrible. The Cowboys are not.
While concerns about DeMarco Murray's health as the season wears on are valid, the Cowboys are probably doing the right thing by riding the hot hand. Win games while you can. There's no guarantee he won't get hurt even if you're giving him 10 carries per game. He's going over 100 yards every
game and against Washington, it's all but a foregone conclusion that he'll do it again. Washington lost linebacker Brian Orakpo for the season, so that's a big blow to an already bad defense. PICK VS. SPREAD: Football Team (+10). STRAIGHT PICK: Cowboys.

Boaters have good opportunity to catch steelhead near the mouths of the tributaries. Anglers have done well in 4-10 feet of water off the mouth of Chautauqua Creek by casting spoons. Another group did quite well by trolling stickbaits up and down the low end of Cattaraugus Creek, between the Hanover launch and the mouth. As for tributary steelhead action, the go-to spot has been Cattaraugus Creek. Anglers are catching steelhead from the mouth up to the dam in Springville. The best catches have been around Gowanda and on the Seneca Reservation,
including some double digit catches. So far, catches have been fair at the dam, although reports indicate some fresh fi sh showing up over last couple days. Light rains gave Cattaraugus Creek flow a bump yesterday, adding some color. Catt flow is currently at about 200 cubic feet per second. With continued low and clear conditions on the other tributaries, steelhead catches have been light. Some fi sh have been caught in the low ends of Chautauqua, Canadaway and Eighteenmile Creeks. The forecasted rain should help. Tributary steelhead commonly hit natural baits like egg sacs or worms, fl ies such as egg imitations, streamers and bugger patters, and lures like minnow-type stickbaits, smaller spoons and in-line spinners. Anglers can also target steelhead from the Cattaraugus Creek breakwall or off creek mouths by casting spoons, spinners and
stickbaits. For those new to steelhead fi shing, see the Steelhead Fishing in Lake Erie Tributaries page for information on steelhead fi shing equipment, locations and links to stream maps. Lake Erie Steelhead Diary Cooperator Program: The DEC Lake Erie Fisheries Unit is seeking active Lake Erie tributary anglers to participate in the Diary Cooperator Program. The diary program provides valuable information on angler's fi shing trips and helps biologists assess the status of the lake and tributary trout fi shery in the New York waters of Lake Erie. For more details or to sign up, contact senior aquatic biologist Jim Markham by phone at 716-3660228 or email: james. markham@dec. ny.gov.
Chautauqua Lake It has been a great season for muskellunge fi shing on Chautauqua Lake, with some of the better catches in recent memory. Trolling outside weed edges with large perch-pattern stickbaits is a good bet. Drifting and casting around weed beds has also produced musky catches. Anglers were recently catching some walleye in the deeper holes of the north basin. Vertical jigging with spoons, jigging Rapalas or medium sized shiners are good tactics. Some walleye have also been caught along weed edges, by drifting with shiners. Smallmouth bass fi shing is picking up along points, with catches reported at Warner Bar, Maple Springs and Long Point. Some smallmouth action has also been reported around the Lakewood Bar.

COMMENTARY, CONTiNuED FROM PAgE 26 at this point. So terrible. My new projection would be the same as the old one: Broncos, Chargers, Chiefs, Raiders in that order. NFC EAST Yes, I had the Dallas Cowboys (6-1) finishing fourth in this division and the Washington Football Team (2-5) finishing second. Those predictions look pretty darn lousy at this point. I'd feel worse about it, but seemingly everyone in America had the Cowboys as one of the bottom feeders of the NFL. The Cowboys haven't really been blowing teams out, as their point differential is +49, but a win is a win. The Philadelphia Eagles (5-1) are probably sick of hearing about the Cowboys, as they have just one loss as well and are 2-0 within the division. The Thanksgiving Day game between Dallas and Philly is going to be epic. The New York Giants (3-4) are just kind of lost in the shuffle. They lost two, then won three and now have lost two more. I had them as a third-place team, and that's exactly what they look like. While I'm still not 100 percent sold on Dallas, I have to admit I was wrong about them. I'll still take the Eagles to win the division. My new projection would be Eagles, Cowboys, Giants,
Football Team. NFC NORTH This was supposed to be one of the best, more competitive divisions in all of the NFL. While it's certainly competitive, it's only a two-team race instead of the predicted three-team battle. The Chicago Bears (3-4) are the team that has kind of fallen out of it. Their offense is surprisingly middle-of-the-pack and an 0-3 home record sure doesn't help. They were my pick for second in the division, but that seems unlikely at this point. The Green Bay Packers (5-2) and Detroit Lions (5-2) have both looked impressive on their way to identical records. They both have squeaked out last-second wins within the last couple weeks, but a win is a win. The Lions hold the edge right now due to the headto-head tiebreaker, but we'll see what happens when they have to come to Lambeau later in the season. The Minnesota Vikings (2-6) are breaking in a rookie quarterback in Teddy Bridgewater and not much was expected of them. They've met those expectations. I think Green Bay still wins this division with that home game against the Lions looming. My new projection would be Packers, Lions, Bears, Vikings in
that order — that's only the Bears and Lions swapped from the preseason picks. NFC SOUTH Apparently no one wants to win this division. None of the four teams has a winning record. All four teams have at least a double-digit negative point differential. All four teams lost last week. The division is a combined 2-10-1 on the road. In case you're curious, none of those previously mentioned facts are good things. The Carolina Panthers (3-3-1) lead the division, but were actually my pick to finish third after last year's surprising playoff run. The arrow is definitely trending downward after a 1-3-1 stretch for the Panthers. The New Orleans Saints (2-4) are probably lucky to have those two wins as they've been out of sync all season. I still think they'll win the division as their defense can't continue to play this poorly. The Atlanta Falcons (2-5) were my pick to bounce back and finish second, but unless a miracle happens on the defensive end, there's no way that's going to happen. They're 2-0 in the division, but 0-5 outside of it. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-5) have been one of the league's worst teams and that'll almost certainly
continue. My new projection would be Saints, Panthers, Falcons, Bucs – again with only the Panthers and Falcons swapped from the my preseason picks. NFC WEST I'm going to be completely honest here and admit that I have no idea what's going on with this division. The Seattle Seahawks (3-3) have already lost as many games as they did en route to winning last season's Super Bowl. The San Francisco 49ers (4-3) began 0-2 and were slaughtered by Denver this past week. The Arizona Cardinals (5-1) lead the division by two full games now, but still only sport a +21 point differential. The St. Louis Rams (2-4) were supposed to be terrible, but just knocked off the defending Super Bowl champs, so who knows what's going on? It seems almost impossible to believe the Cardinals can continue this run, right? There have been too many injuries on defense. But then again, the 49ers defense is ravaged by injuries and
suspensions, the Seattle defense isn't half of what it was last year and the Rams have allowed over 29 points per game. With a two-game lead, it's hard to pick against Arizona holding on. My new projection is going to be Cardinals, Seahawks, 49ers, Rams. That just feels weird.
NASCAR
CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2014
By Jenna Fryer AP Auto Racing Writer
It didn't take long for Brad Keselowski to earn an unpleasant reputation in NASCAR. He was aggressive on the track, brash and arrogant off of it, and rubbed most of his competitors the wrong way. Denny Hamlin famously feuded with him through the 2009 season, calling him ''a complete moron'' while alleging ''every driver in the garage that comes up to me says, 'That guy is a complete whack job.''' When Hamlin made good on a promise to wreck Keselowski in the 2009 Nationwide Series finale, Hamlin received a standing ovation from crews along pit road. It was Carl Edwards who was fed up with Keselowski the next season, and he returned to the track at Atlanta to deliberately wreck his new rival. The contact had an unintended consequence, though, and Keselowski's car flew into the fence. Everyone in NASCAR picked sides but most thought ''Bad Brad'' had it coming. He didn't really care what anyone thought. ''It's not possible to get a Cup ride right now without being aggressive, and without having some swagger in your step,'' Keselowski said shortly after the Edwards incident in 2010. ''Does that make you a jerk? To some people, yes. To some people, no. It depends on where you're coming from. If you look at the sport right now, there are no new drivers coming in. ''So whatever I'm doing is working, and it's gotten me to where I'm at.''
Keselowski Marches To His Own Beat Keselowski was a Sprint Cup champion two seasons later, and after a sub-par 2013 season, he's furiously charging after a second title. Keeping this run alive was no easy feat, as Keselowski was backed into a must-win situation Sunday at Talladega Superspeedway, a track where drivers have very little control over their fate. He promised his Team Penske crew that he'd win to avoid elimination in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. He was coming off a post-race meltdown at Charlotte, where he became a menace behind the wheel after realizing his title hopes had potentially slipped away. Hamlin had to be restrained from trying to fight him, Matt Kenseth attacked him from behind and it was his Penske crew that rushed to his rescue. Keselowski earned a $50,000 fine from NASCAR, withstood a hailstorm of criticism from his peers, and kept his mouth shut as he went with his team to Martinsville Speedway in Virginia for two days of testing last week. It was there that he vowed his season was not ending at Talladega. Promising to win is one thing, but delivering is a much taller order. Only Keselowski did it, pulling off the equivalent of a walk-off home run or a twotouchdown rally in the final two minutes of a game. Team Penske was not in the least bit surprised. ''I don't think this is the first time we've seen Brad step up to the plate,'' crew chief Paul Wolfe said. ''Seems like everyone is against him, seems like that fires him up more. He sets his mind to something, he's going to make it happen.'' It takes a special talent to deliver in high-pressure situations, especially when it

seems like an entire industry is against you. There's only been one other driver in the last decade, Tony Stewart, to climb off the ropes in the face of self-inflicted adversity and he backed up his actions and his words with three championships. Keselowski is proving to be the current-day Stewart - the driver who does what he wants and refuses to toe the line. He speaks up when he doesn't believe something is right, he isn't politically correct for the sake of staying on the good side of NASCAR or his sponsors, and he takes pride in marching to his own beat. Keselowski claimed Sunday he doesn't enjoy the himagainst-the-world mentality, and that fighting so many battles is only making his life harder. But he's keenly aware at how difficult the road to NASCAR's top series was,
and that he scratched and clawed his way into a toplevel ride at a time of very little turnover. He notes that he and nowteammate Joey Logano broke into the Sprint Cup Series at the same time and are the only drivers to make it stick five years later. ''What other drivers came from that era and are successful? There isn't one. There's not one that came through those four or five years,'' he said. ''That's for good reason. They've been ran out of the sport. I'm not going to let that happen. That means sometimes there's going to be some uncomfortable moments. Certainly there were some uncomfortable moments this week. I hope there's not any more uncomfortable moments in the future, but there probably will be.'' It helps to have the unwavering support of team owner
Roger Penske, who was given the only Cup championship of his career with Keselowski's 2012 title. He gives his driver latitude to make recommendations for the organization, to confidently be a leader of his race team. Penske doesn't care if Keselowski is liked in the garage - and make no mistake, he probably doesn't crack the top-20 in popularity among his peers - but Penske on Sunday rebuked those drivers as jealous rivals. It was the public affirmation Keselowski needed to show the world that like him or hate him, he's not changing and he's not going anywhere. ''I'd stand up for him anywhere,'' Penske said. ''Look, I like him. He's a great driver, we have a long-term relationship with him. If he wants to get a little upset sometimes, that's OK with me.''
