The Village of Bemus Point will be the place to be for bargain hunters and those looking to get a jump-start on their holiday shopping when the eighth annual Bemus Point Holiday Open House takes place next weekend.

As we say farewell to October and observe most trees still quite vibrant and laden with leaves, things will change soon as preparations will eventually commence for Thanksgiving. With that comes a shift in mentality as holiday shopping and winter preparations take center stage here in Chautauqua County.

Scheduled to take place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday, November 7, Saturday, November 8 and Sunday, November 9, the Bemus Point Holiday Open House event is a unique op-

portunity to take advantage of discounts at participating merchants where customers will receive 20 percent off every item in every store as they look for unique gifts, home decorations and fun holiday shopping experiences.

The following seven locally owned and operated stores will be sponsoring the three-day event: Bemus Bay Childrens Shoppe; Bemus Point Pottery; GG My Love; Imagine!; Petals & Twigs; Skillmans; Wired on Main.

Organizers point out how Bemus Point’s Holiday Open House is a great way for consumers to begin their holiday shopping while

supporting the local community. Each store will be festively decorated to help shoppers get into the holiday spirit as they showcase their wares to people anxious to cross a few items off of their lists well before the unofficial holiday shopping season begins towards the end of November.

One of the big draws of the weekend will be opportunities for children to meet up

with Santa Claus and his live reindeer on Saturday, November 8 and Sunday, November 9. Santa and his reindeer will be present on both days from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at The Musky Mall.

Along with the 20 percent discount offered at each store, customers will be treated to outstanding customer service, complimenContinued on PAge 6

and garners the most media attention, will win. There is a sad minority of voters who vote on position, rather than ‘who I saw most on the news,’ or ‘because we share a heritage.’

All that said, there are few things that frustrate me more than the following statements: “I’m voting for ____ because I like them.”

Statements like this are why the founding fathers set up the Electoral College. The mass majority could not be trusted to elect people intelligently, and that was before the days of social media; giving everyone an opinion.

“Liking” someone does not qualify him or her to run for office.

I wouldn’t vote for my wife if I didn’t agree with her standards.

You read that right, my wife. I love her, and I’d do anything for her, but I wouldn’t elect her to run my country if I disagreed with her principles (thankfully, she and I are in full agreement on just about everything – except sauerkraut and sci-fi).

“I don’t know who to vote for, so I’m not going to vote.”

Dumb. Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb.

“I don’t know how to use this sword, so I’m not going to battle the dragon and save the princess,” said the cowardly knight. “Maybe I’ll sit here quietly and hope he goes away.

After all, he’s a good dragon, and I’m sure he’ll make the intelligent decision.”

‘Get out the vote’ should mean more than just getting out and voting. Get out and find out what these people believe, what they think, how they act, whether they can be trusted (may have to have some wiggle room on that one…), along with who and what they’ve voted for in the past.

Educated voting takes less than ten minutes online, or by calling a candidate's campaign headquarters and asking questions. You’ll spend more time in a drive-thru waiting for a coffee than you will doing research on candidates’ positions on the things that matter.

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!!

By Katy Wise Contributing Writer

This article may seem completely off topic from the subject of pregnancy and babies, but I promise you that it is spot-on.

Recently I received an e-mail regarding this topic, with concerns about the health of my children, and those utilizing my recipes. Now before we go any further, I would like to follow with this statement, I am not offended.

I am not one to get offended easily, and honestly there was nothing for me to get offended about. I am simply addressing the e-mail while taking the opportunity to write about the subject at hand.

This is something that I had planned on writing about at some point in time concerning pregnancy, babies, and small children, but the chance to write about it seems to have fallen into my lap a little sooner than I thought it would.

Does this column focus on desserts a lot? Yes. By all means, yes.

That is because one of my very favorite things to do is bake, and it’s something that I have been told I’m very good at.

It’s also something that our oldest son can help me with from time to time. He loves to be the one to press the buttons on my stand mixer, wear his little blue apron, and crack eggs open.

Do we bake and eat sugary, fatty foods all the time? No. Absolutely we do not.

We don’t even have the time for that, not with a one year old, three year old, and all the various responsibilities that we have.

Here is a confession, most of my recipes have been saved over a long

Community news

A note from a sugarsupporting, nutrition conscious mommy period of time and then are put into articles as the season and/or timing allows. Some of the recipes I share have not been made in at least a year.

However, here is yet another confession, I am one of those moms that lets her kids have sugar. Gasp! I know, what a thing to say these days.

But the problem isn’t in letting my kids have a cookie. It’s how much they have, along with the rest of their diet.

I very much believe that now is the best time to get them started eating healthily, with a balanced diet. I also know, from personal experience, that if you cut out sweet treats completely, it can be incredibly easy to binge and harm yourself even worse than an occasional piece of cake.

So to our kids, sure you can have a homemade cookie after you finish your carrots. One from a package with lots of unknown ingredients, though? Nope. Not happening here.

We only eat homemade cookies.

Maybe I should clarify… Our boys only eat homemade cookies, my husband is a self-admitted Oreo fan, but that doesn’t mean we eat them often.

Every once in awhile an exception is made, but for the most part this is what we stick with.

The majority of what we eat could be considered ‘whole foods,’ being mostly fruits, vegetables, dairy and whole grains. We cut out processed foods wherever we can, and if our budget allowed for it, I would make the switch to organic foods without hesitating.

Does this mean that I think everyone else should follow the same rules in their house? Nope. Everyone needs to do what best fits their life, their children, and their budget.

Every person has slightly different dietary needs, and although I believe that whole, natural foods were

God’s intent for all of us as humans, we can’t always stick to just that.

I agree that nutrition is important, but it isn’t my job to tell anyone else what to eat. My job is to provide recipes that I know are worth the effort, and that would be great to share with your loved ones, especially during holiday seasons.

Cutting out processed foods will definitely better your health. There are so many unknown things that get put into those foods, which is why we personally believe in homemade everything.

Which also happens to be one of the reasons why there is a lot of butter throughout my recipes. Next time you’re at the grocery store, take a look at the ingredients listed in butter, and compare with the ingredients listed in margarine.

Yes, you can almost always substitute butter for something lower in fat, but once again, beware of your substitutions.

Many, and I repeat many, ‘lowfat’ recipes that can be found on Pinterest and in other recipe resources have substitutions such as cake mix instead of flour or oatmeal in cookies, and diet sodas in replacement for butter or oil.

Diet sodas are loaded with aspartame, which has been linked to many health problems. I don’t even need a study to back that one up.

If I drink anything containing that ingredient, I immediately get a headache.

So back to the ‘sugar in moderation,’ yes we do bake what could be

considered relatively often. Maybe once or twice a month. But all of our sugar is balanced with healthy foods, and it’s incredibly rare that we keep the sweets to ourselves.

Having young kids means that we constantly have people in and out of our house. I like having a treat to share with grandparents, and other friends and family when they visit, especially if they are helping to care for our little ones.

We also enjoy ‘blessing’ people with baked goods every once in awhile, so we barely ever go through an entire batch of cookies, unless some of them get frozen and brought back out later.

Also in the balance, is our activity level. Although the weather is slowly decreasing our ability to get outside for fresh air and exercise, we are relatively active. Much of our free time is spent walking to the playground, or doing a lap or two around the SUNY Fredonia campus with our jogging stroller.

Not to mention, our boys never stop moving. Seriously, never. Most of our mornings are spent with them making rounds in the circular layout of our house, chasing each other back and forth. Even if they appear to be sitting, they’re bouncing or wiggling in some manner that burns calories.

So in conclusion… Yes, I agree with eating healthy, but I also support sugar. Just do what’s best for your health, and for your family’s health.

As always, thanks for reading, and Happy Homemaking!

als to stand the test of time. Furman showed each of the design components, explaining that most boilers lose twothirds of the wood’s energy through the smoke stack. Econoburn boilers, however, can achieve 87% thermal efficiency in a closed system through a gasification process, harnessing the smoke and gases that are lost by other units. By re-using this energy in the way Furman designed, Econoburn boilers produce remarkable amounts of heat at considerably less cost, driving up energy efficiency while at the same time lowering environmental emissions.

Product quality and value are key components for Econoburn. Unlike the competition, Econoburn units come with a 25 year warranty. To control quality, the company has inhouse welding, assembly, finishing and distribution, which is good for local job stability. A large percentage of Econoburn boilers are exported outside the United States, primarily to Canada, yet there is also a significant client base in the Northeastern U.S. As the tour continued a customer named Bruce from Wales, New York, arrived to discuss an upgrade to his Econoburn boiler. Talk about a satisfied customer, Bruce provided a glowing testimonial regarding the operation, efficiency and value for cost of the Econoburn units. Beyond that Bruce said his customer service experience has been exemplary, making the point that we as local consumers are fortunate to have the company located right here in Chautauqua County.

About Econoburn– Owned by Abasco, Inc. in Hamburg, the company has approximately 50 employees with 11 dedicated to Econoburn wood boiler products. Econoburn’s mission is to create the best-built, most efficient wood-fueled boilers on this continent.

Their advanced cordwood boilers provides a viable alternative to dependence on oil and other fossil fuels utilizing a safe, renewable energy source, saving homeowners and business owners a lot of money in the process. For more information visit http://www.

Fredonia Student Vocalists to be Featured with the Buffalo Philharmonic

Contributed Article had to have just the Fredonia

Eight student jazz vocalists from the State University of New York at Fredonia have been given the rare opportunity to perform at the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra’s “Glorious Gershwin” concert as guests of featured artist and guest conductor Matt Catingub on Saturday, Nov. 8, at 8 p.m., at Kleinhans Music Hall.

“How many students, especially underclassmen, get a chance to be featured with a major philharmonic orchestra? It doesn’t happen very often,” observed Bruce Johnstone, director of Jazz Studies at Fredonia.

The eight students – Katelyn Dietz, a sophomore, of Henrietta; Vaughn Faison, senior, Lyons; Kate Gratson, sophomore, Brooklyn; Lovely Philema, junior, Brooklyn; Gabby Carr, sophomore, Buffalo; Nathan Guarnere, junior, Brockport; Jimmy Hartmann, junior, Irondequoit; and Alex Behrens, freshman, Buffalo – were recruited based on their singing style, ability to master difficult musical arrangements and availability for rehearsals, Johnstone explained.

“They are the absolute cream of the crop; they

style that I wanted,” Johnstone noted.

“These are very unique Gershwin arrangements, and you need to have a particular style of singing that’s difficult to explain in words.”

Students began weekly rehearsals when classes resumed in August, initially singing along with MP3 instrumental recordings that Catingub provided before progressing to a live rhythm section assembled by Johnstone.

Fredonia’s connection to the BPO – and invitation to sing at this concert – was forged

by Johnstone, who has frequently played as an orchestra member during the last 10 years.

Johnstone and Catingub were both fans of each other’s careers when they met for the first time at a BPO’s “Big Band Salute” concert six months ago. Johnstone was an orchestra member at that performance; Catingub was the conductor. The multitalented Catingub, who also plays the saxophone and woodwinds, arranges and composes music and also sings, is a candidate for the post of BPO principal pops conductor.

“It turned out that he was a big fan of mine when I was recording with Maynard Ferguson and Woody

Herman,” Johnstone recalled, “and I had actually played with his mother, Mavis Rivers, who was a very famous jazz singer in the 1960s, when I was 15 or 16 years old and living in New Zealand.

I’ve been very familiar with his music for a long time.”

The Fredonia contingent will sing “There’s a Boat That’s Leavin’ soon for New York,” from “Porgy and Bess;” the perennial favorite, “Fascinating Rhythm,” and the seldom heard, “Soon.” Saxophonist Johnstone will be featured on, “Your Eyes!

Your Smile!” and will also perform with the BPO throughout the concert.

Johnstone indicated that the BPO experience and the extensive preparation that leads up to the concert will be particularly valuable to Fredonia singers who aspire to become music educators.

“We’re excited that this opportunity exists, and can promise the audience that they’re in for a really enjoyable musical experience,” Johnstone said.

by Spanish conductor Pablo Heras-Casado.

The New York Times says “the show caught fire, mainly on the

strength of Ms. Rachvelishvili’s vocal power and compelling stage presence, and Mr. Eyre’s sure sense of dramatic pacing took hold. With her smoldering, earthy sexuality she is ideal for the role, managing to seem untamed, almost unhinged at times, yet also coolly calculating.”

With 985 performances since its company premiere in 1884, Carmen is the third most-staged opera in the Met’s repertory, and the moststaged French-language Continued on page 13

CARMEn, LivE AT THE MET, COnTinuED fROM PAgE 12 opera by a significant margin.

While Rachvelishvili has sung the title role in multiple Met seasons, she has many more performances to go before she challenges the record held by French diva Emma Calvé, who sang Carmen with the Met 138 times between 1893 and 1904.

Her closest rival for the role remains American mezzo-soprano Risë Stevens, who sang Carmen 124 times between 1945 and her retirement in 1961.

Carmen features some of the most recognizable music in the opera repertoire. Excerpts have been used in movies ranging from the Marx Brother’s 1929 The Cocoanuts and the 1976 baseball classic The Bad News Bears to the 2009 Disney/Pixar fi lm Up. In the award-winning 1943 Broadway musical Carmen Jones, Bizet’s original score was combined with new English lyrics

by Oscar Hammerstein and the setting updated to World War II. The show, which featured

an African-American cast, was also adapted into a fi lm in 1954.

The opera runs approximately three hours, 32 minutes.

Live at the Met telecasts are now shown in more than 2,000 theaters in 69 countries, making the Met the only arts institution with an ongoing global art series of this scale. The Met was the first arts company to experiment with this type of broadcast, beginning on a modest scale in 2006 and growing every season since then, with more than 10 million tickets sold to date.

Met opera stars serve as hosts for the series, conducting live interviews with cast members, crew and production teams, and introducing the popular behindthe-scenes features; altogether the worldwide audience is given an unprecedented look at what goes into the staging of an opera at one of the world’s great houses.

Individual tickets to each of the operas in the season are $20, ($18 Opera House members, $15 students). Tickets may be purchased in person at the Opera House Box Office or by phone at 716-679-1891, Tuesday-Friday, 1-5 p.m. Tickets may be purchased online anytime at www.fredopera.org.

Live at the Met opera broadcasts are made possible by Dr. James M. and Marcia Merrins, who funded the purchase of the satellite transmission and projection equipment used in the series.

The 1891 Fredonia Opera House is a member-supported not-for-profit organization located in Village Hall in downtown Fredonia. For a complete schedule of events, visit www. fredopera.org.

Live at the Met, the Metropolitan Opera’s awardwinning series of live, high definition opera transmissions to theaters around the world, continues its 2014-15 season at the 1891 Fredonia Opera House on Sat., Nov. 1, at 1 p.m., with Georges Bizet’s masterful and highly popular tragedy Carmen. Georgian mezzo-soprano Anita Rachvelishvili sings the title role of the seductive gypsy, a part she has sung to acclaim at many of the world’s leading opera houses.

the weekly word PRAying fOR OuR nATiOn

By Rev. Tim Stahlman Family Church Jamestown www.fcjamestown.org

Seldom has the Christian realized the power that Almighty God has granted to them to secure peace for their nation. Our elected officials are not the reason this nation fails or suc-

ceeds. This nation fails or succeeds as a result of the commitment Christians have to diligently pray for those in authority. Politicians may have civic authority, but the Christians have the authority of Christ on the earth.

1 Timothy 2:1-2 says, "I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and GIVING OF THANKS, be made for all men; for kings, and for ALL that are in authority; THAT WE MAY LEAD A QUIET AND PEACEABLE

LIFE in all godliness and honesty." A Christian is a Christian before they are ever a Republican or Democrat. We are citizens of the commonwealth of Heaven before we are ever citizens of an earthly nation. Too often, Christians are blaming the president or another politician for the state of the nation meanwhile God has given them the power to change things in prayer.

The Bible says to give thanks for your leaders, not sit around and complain about them.

The Bible says to pray,

supplicate, and intercede for those in civic government "that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life." Many times believers are the ones sitting around saying, "This country is going down the drain." Believers that talk that way are part of the problem and not part of the solution.

Ezekiel 22:30 says, "And I (God) sought for a man among them that should make up the hedge and stand in the gap before Me FOR THE LAND that I should not destroy it, but I found none."

God is looking for some-

one to stand in the gap.

Many people today, even Christians, are the gap. They complain, they bicker, and they defend the purposes of a political party when they should have entered into the presence of God and changed things there. We must learn that Christians, not politicians, dictate what happens in our nation.

When Abraham interceded for the city of Sodom in Genesis chapter 18, we learn something very important about the influence that righteous people have on

our nation. As God was about to destroy Sodom because of the horrific sins of that city, He said in Genesis 18:26, "...

If I find fifty righteous within the city then I will spare the place for THEIR SAKES." God said that He would withhold judgment upon the land for the sake of the righteous. The faithfulness of Christians does not affect the health of a church or a community only; it affects the health of the entire nation.

Let's stop complaining and start praying that our nation be changed.

Top 8 Diesel-Powered New Cars for 2015

Contributed Article AutoTrader.com

If you’re interested in saving money at the pump, then you’ve come to the right place. We’ve listed eight excellent new cars (and two used alternatives) that offer diesel engines, so the cars on this list are able to squeeze more miles out of a gallon of fuel than a typical gasoline-powered vehicle. While it was once hard to find diesel fuel stations, diesel-powered cars -- and diesel pumps -- are becoming a lot more popular, meaning that you’ll never have trouble filling up your new gas-saver.

Audi A3 The newly redesigned Audi A3 brings a compact car back to Audi’s lineup after a short absence. The latest A3 is a sedan, however, instead of a hatchback, but like the old model, it still offers two enticing engines: a sporty 4-cylinder and a frugal 2.0-liter diesel. It’s the diesel that especially catches our eye, as it touts 150 horsepower, a muscular 236 lb-ft of torque and an impressive fuel economy rating of 31 miles per gallon in the city and 43 mpg on the highway. Pricing is also reasonable, as the 5-passenger A3 2.0 TDI starts around $33,600 with shipping -and there’s even an all-wheel-drive option for shoppers in cold-weather climates.

BMW 3 Series The entry-level 328d is now BMW’s most affordable diesel-powered model, thanks to a starting price of around $39,800 with shipping.

Powered by a 180-hp 2.0-liter turbodiesel engine, the 328d may not seem especially muscular -- until you consider its brawny 280 lb-ft of torque. Don’t think that the 328d doesn’t conserve fuel, though: It offers gas mileage ratings as high as 32 mpg city/45 mpg hwy. The 328d also boasts a wide range of standard equipment and safety features, along with impressive interior build quality. Best of all, it’s offered in three forms: There’s a rear-wheel-drive sedan for performance-minded

drivers, an all-wheel-drive version for drivers who have to contend with snow and an all-wheel-drive wagon that adds a little more practicality to the model’s lineup.

Chevrolet Cruze Although the newly released Chevrolet Cruze Diesel may start at a lofty $25,900 with shipping, the frugal sedan actually offers impressive bang for your buck. One reason is its powerplant: In addition to producing an adequate 151 hp, the Cruze Diesel boasts an excellent 27 mpg city/46 mpg hwy. The Cruze Diesel also comes with an impressive array of standard equipment, including 18-inch alloy wheels, keyless access with a push-button starter, leather upholstery, heated front seats and Chevrolet MyLink infotainment system. Consider the Cruze Diesel to be an alternative to Volkswagen’s popular Jetta TDI. Jeep Grand Cherokee The recently updated Jeep Grand Cherokee has added a frugal 240-hp EcoDiesel engine to its powertrain lineup. Fuel economy is a strong suit, as the engine boasts up to 21 mpg city/30 mpg hwy -- an increase of 4 mpg city/6 mpg hwy over the gaspowered V6. Standard equipment is also a strong point, as all Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel models include a remote starter, a power lift gate, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel and 18-in alloy wheels.

Unfortunately, the Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel’s biggest drawback is cost.

At nearly $42,000 with shipping, the Jeep rivals some premium SUVs from luxury brands. Still, we think that the Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel offers an excellent way to add a little fuel efficiency to the world of the midsize SUV. Mercedes-Benz GLK We like the idea of a fuel-efficient SUV, since it combines carlike gas mileage with SUV capabilities and added practicality. That perfectly describes the GLK250 BlueTEC, which offers the same 2.1-liter turbodiesel 4-cylinder as the E250 BlueTEC -- an engine that makes around 200 hp and a strapping

369 lb-ft of torque. It also offers standard all-wheel drive and fuel economy that reaches as high as 24 mpg city/33 mpg hwy. Best of all, pricing isn’t too high -- especially for a Mercedes-Benz. The GLK250 BlueTEC starts around $40,000 with shipping.

RAM 1500 Although all pickup manufacturers offer diesel power in their heavyduty-truck lineups, only Chrysler brings a diesel engine to the lightduty RAM 1500. Dubbed the RAM EcoDiesel, it’s powered by the same 3.0-liter engine that’s in the Grand Cherokee -- a powerplant that’s good for 240 hp and an amazing 420 lb-ft of torque. Unfortunately, the RAM EcoDiesel doesn’t quite feel fast, but it does offer an amazing 20 mpg city/28 mpg hwy, which outshines any full-size-pickup rivals.

If you’re interested, expect to pay about $40,000 with shipping for the diesel-powered RAM, before you add any options.

Volkswagen Jetta Volkswagen’s popular Jetta is among the most popular diesel-powered new cars on the market today. Just a quick look at the specs reveals exactly why: For a base price of around $24,500 with shipping, the newly updated 2015 Jetta TDI returns an impressive 32 mpg city/45 mpg hwy -- not bad for a car that doesn’t include a hybrid powertrain or an electric motor. The Jetta TDI also comes in two alluring body styles: a roomy 4-door sedan with a surprisingly large trunk or an especially practical Jetta SportWagen with a huge cargo area.

Volkswagen Passat Although most of the Passat’s midsize-sedan rivals offer available hybrid engines, the family-oriented Volkswagen instead boasts an available turbodiesel 4-cylinder.

Easily capable of achieving its Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rating of 31 mpg city/43 mpg hwy, the Passat TDI offers 140 hp and available 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmissions.

It also boasts a reasonable starting

price of around $27,500 with shipping, which is highly competitive with most hybrid-powered midsize sedans.

Used BMW 3 Series We’re big fans of today’s dieselpowered BMW 328d, which offers up to 45 mpg hwy, but we’re even more enthralled by the 335d model, offered from 2009 to 2011, which managed to combine diesel fuel economy with high performance. In terms of gas mileage, the 335d certainly delivered, boasting an excellent 23 mpg city/36 mpg hwy, but the real strong point was performance: With 265 hp and an impressive 425 lb-ft of torque, the 335d could sprint from a standstill to 60 miles per hour in less than 6 seconds. The result was an enticing all-around vehicle -- especially considering today’s used values, which are now hovering around $25,000 or less on AutoTrader.

Used Mercedes-Benz E-Class Although Mercedes-Benz is still offering a diesel-powered E-Class, we’re especially fond of the dieselpowered E320 BlueTEC model that was available from 2007 to 2009.

One reason is the engine performance: We were always impressed with the 2007-2009 E320’s 3.0-liter powerplant, which combined a merely adequate 208 hp with a gargantuan 388 lb-ft of torque. Fuel economy was also a strong point, as the E320 BlueTEC returned an EPA-rated 23 mpg city/32 mpg hwy -- a figure that’s more appropriate for an economy car than a luxury sedan. The best part is pricing: While the E320 BlueTEC was a prohibitively expensive $52,500 back in 2007, used versions are now easy to find on AutoTrader for around $22,000 or less -- not bad considering the E-Class’s wide range of standard equipment.

improvements to usdA Beginning Farmer Loans Contributed Article Center for Rural Affairs

USDA recently announced several changes to Farm Service Agency (FSA) loan programs, changes designed to help more beginning farmers and ranchers. The new “interim final rule” will increase the Microloan limit from $35,000 to $50,000. This program provides a simplified application process and a seven-year payback. Microloans can be used for approved operating expenses, such as seed, fertilizer,

utilities, land rents, marketing, distribution, living expenses, livestock, equipment, hoop houses, tools, irrigation and delivery vehicles.

USDA is also changing the “experience” requirement for FSA Direct Farm Ownership loans. Previously, applicants had to prove they participated in the operations of a farm for at least three years. Beginning farmers across the country identified this restriction as a real barrier. It is not reflective of current realities in which new farmers enter agriculture.

The change will allow beginning farmers and ranchers to substitute one year of that three-year requirement with a formal farming apprenticeship, operation or management of a non-farm business, leadership or management experience while serving in any branch of the military, advanced education in an agricultural field, and significant experience in a farm-related agricultural career.

USDA also proposes changing the types of farming entities eligible to apply, potentially opening the door to non-majority investors who are

A Talk on Healthcare

Local Physical Therapist from Jamestown, New York Meets with Lawmakers on Capitol Hill to Talk Healthcare, Patient Cost and Small Business Issues Contributed Article Chautauqua Physical and Occupational Therapy

Patrick E. Green, MS, PT, Cert. MDT, owner of Chautauqua Physical & Occupational Therapy was among over 75 physical therapists business owners from across the country that convened in Washington, DC from September 29 - 30, 2014 to lobby members of Congress. As part of the second annual event hosted by the Private Practice Section (PPS) of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), Patrick Green, MS, PT, Cert. MDT owner of Chautauqua Physical & Occupational Therapy, Mark Howard, PT, DPT, OCS, owner of Howard Physical Therapy, Doreen Frank, PT owner of Columbia Physical Therapy and Carol Stillman, PT, MS owner of Sutton Place Physical Therapy met with staffers from Congressman Tom Reed’s office, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand’s office and Senator Charles Schumer’s office to discuss hard-hitting issues affecting the future of healthcare, patients, and physical therapy businesses. “Having the opportunity to speak honestly with Congressional leaders about the impact of current legislation to business owners like myself, in the medical field, is

critical for the physical therapy profession,” said Tom DiAngelis, president of the Private Practice Section. “For one day, our voice was amplified and hundreds of members of congress were having the same conversation on the same issues that affect tax payers when they see a physical therapist. We thank Patrick Green, MS, PT, Cert. MDT, owner of Chautauqua Physical & Occupational Therapy for contributing to the thought-provoking dialogue and joining us on Capitol Hill.”

The physical therapist business owners asked Congress to take action on pending legislation and topics on the House and Senate floor. The key issue for this visit was: · Improving Medicare beneficiary’s access to rehabilitation services with emphasis on elimination of the Medicare Therapy Cap, and Medicare payment reform to allow for a more effective health delivery of rehabilitation services. The physical therapists delegation from New York State were able to meet with staffers from Congressman Tom Reed, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand and Senator Chuck Schumer’s offices. · Medicare Payment Reform: PPS supports the Medicare Physician Payment Innovation Act (HR 574), intro-

duced by Reps. Allyson Schwartz (D-PA) and Joe Heck, DO (R-NV).

PPS supports this legislation not only because it provides a clearly defined path to permanent payment reform, but because it includes a multi-year period of payment stability with a stipulated annual payment rate increase of 0.5%. · Sustainable Growth Rate: Congress must annually act to override the SGR formula used to calculate annual updates for the Medicare physician/therapist payment rate. The current extension will end on March 31, 2015, which will mean a cut of more than 20 percent unless Congress intervenes.

PPS urges Congress to repeal the sustainable growth rate formula that determines Medicare payment rates, so the broken reimbursement method can be fixed and therapists can be paid fairly and predictably. · Payment Reform Proposals: The Energy and Commerce Committee and the Ways and Means Committee in the House and the Finance Committee in the Senate are working on proposals to revamp the fee-for-service component of the physician/therapist payment system so that payment is based on meeting performance measures rather than just on services delivered. The

Private Practice Section, APTA and other stakeholders are contributing to the work of these committees by providing detailed input and responses to requests for information. · Medicare Therapy Cap: PPS supports the Medicare Access to Rehabilitation Services Act (HR 713/S 367), introduced by Representatives Jim Gerlach (R-PA) and Xavier Becerra (D-CA), and in the Senate by Senators Ben Cardin (D-MD) and Susan Collins (RME). HR 713 and S 367 would permanently repeal the $1,900 therapy cap imposed on physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speechlanguage pathology services, helping people

to heal faster. · Locum Tenens (Substitute therapists): When medical professionals need to take a leave of absence (short or long term) they hire substitutes to fill in. Under current law, physical therapists cannot collect Medicare payments from patients that see a substitute. PPS is asking Congress to pass HR 3426 and S.2818, the Prevent Interruptions in Physical Therapy Act, which adds physical therapists to the list of providers allowed to utilize locum tenens arrangements under Medicare.

silver Creek

THIS Chautauqua Star Staff Star File Article

The first settlers of what is now Silver Creek arrived here from Massachusetts with their families in 1803. They were Abel Cleveland, David Dickinson and John E. Howard. These men purchased over six hundred acres from the Holland Land Company and settled on what is now Lake Ave. Both Cleveland and Dickinson had milling experience in New England so they built the first grist mill for grinding corn. The War of 1812, caused these two men to leave

Chautauqua County and its surroundings have so many great places to see and things to do. Each city, village and town has a story, and we’ve set out to tell that story.

their settlement, leaving John E. Howard as the only settler.

Silver Creek’s first developer was Oliver Lee; descendant of William Brewster of the Mayflower, veteran of the War of 1812 and coowner of a mercantile business in Westfield.

He arrived in Silver Creek in 1828, built a brick structure to house his business (formerly the Ludeman Block on the site that is presently Rite Aid) and later bought John Howard’s 350 acres which included the waterfront.

He built his home on Central Avenue in 1832, overlooking the lake.

Lee made many

improvements to the community (roadwork, bridges and buildings) and opened up a road to the lake (presently Jackson St). Around this time, he built a 150 ft. long pier with a 75 ft. long “L” shaped portion off Jackson St. He then added a warehouse and The Steamboat Hotel. This started the shipping industry in Silver Creek.

It was also the Lee family that donated the land for the Village Park downtown.

Name and Incorporation The original name of the Village of Silver Creek was FAYETTE. Village Historian Louis Pelletter found a partial, unidentified newspaper clipping that states, “… the other creek was named Silver Creek because in the smooth shale bed will be found varieties of ore bearing rock. Years of water constantly flowing over these particles, shining them in the process,

gives a glowing silver appearance to the bed of the creek.” Oliver Lee was credited with spearheading the drive to name the village after the unusual creek.

The name of the village was changed from Fayette to Silver Creek on February 14, 1826.

The Village was incorporated on June 1, 1848 on the petition of Charles H. Lee and others. Noah D. Snow was the first president, as the mayors were

called at that time.

Abiatha Gates, Charles H. Lee, George W. Tew and Austin Clark were the first trustees.

John Tilton was collector, John R. McDonald was clerk and Amos Dow was treasurer.

THiS gREAT COunTy, COnTinuED fROM PAgE 21 Masonry in Silver Creek Hanover Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons, was instituted at Forestville, February 5, 1824. The charter members included Luther Thwing, Ezra Puffer, Seth Snow, Albert H. Camp, and Warren Griswold. It was Discontinued in 1828 but was re-chartered in 1849. Hanover Lodge still operates today and members continue to contribute to their community and the Chautauqua District. They are perennial winners of the Masonic golf tournament each year.

Big Black Walnut One of the most impressive parts of Silver Creek’s history is the famous Big Black Walnut Tree that once grew here. It was said to have been the biggest tree east of the Rocky Mountains. The tree blew down in 1822, and remained there for three years. Then Luther Heaton, a local grocer, had a thirteen foot section cut from the tree and hollowed out to be used for an addition to his store. The section measured about thirty-one feet in circumference and over ten feet in diameter. A man was said to have ridden through the tree on horseback. A floor was laid and a roof was built on the tree section.

The Black Walnut Tree could now seat twenty people.

Soon two area businessmen purchased the tree and took it to Buffalo, via Lake Erie, to be exhibited.

After running out of money they were forced to sell the tree. The new owners took it down the newly opened Erie Canal to New York City. The tree was sold and sold again and ended up in a museum in London where it was destroyed in a fire. The Black Walnut Tree stood

near where Ward Ave. meets Route 20, and a monument made out of one of the first millstones, now commemorating the spot, was placed there by the N.S.D.A.R. in 1928.

The Burning of “The Washington” and the Sinking of “The Lake Erie” During the summer of 1838, The Washington set out on her maiden voyage from Buffalo to Cleveland.

At 2:00 am, a fire started in the boiler room of the ship. At the time the boat was about 3 miles off the shores of Silver Creek. People from the village saved several of the passengers, but an estimated 40 people were lost by burning or drowning. The day following the tragedy, a burial service was held in the orchard on the Oliver Lee estate. Survivors stayed in Silver Creek, hoping for the bodies of relatives to wash ashore.

On August 10, 1841, at eight in the evening, the steamship, The Lake Erie, was taking a load of about four hundred emigrants from Buffalo to Erie Pa. When the ship was only a few miles off the shore of Silver Creek a can of varnish ignited and the ship burst into flames. The captain immediately headed toward shore and while only about a mile from shore the ship went under. The next morning the shore was lined with over two hundred and fi fty dead bodies of those who couldn’t make the swim. This incident is often considered the most tragic of the Lake Erie disasters.

The Grain Cleaning Industry The S. Howes Co. has been important in the development of the village. It started in 1864, when the first grain cleaning machinery shop

located near the present post office. It all started in the summer of 1924 when the mayor purchased two ostriches. Soon following some alligators were contributed to the collection and finally a few monkeys completed the little zoo. A concession stand was built in front of the zoo.

vOLLEyBALL TAkES CEnTER STAgE ACROSS WESTERn nEW yORk

By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

The high school volleyball scene was alive and well all across Chautauqua County, Tuesday as the playoffs really got going.

In Class D-2 action, the No. 3 Forestville Lady Hornets dispatched of the No. 6 Sherman Lady Wildcats in three sets, 25-13, 25-17, 25-14.

Ashley VanBuskirk got Forestville off on the right foot with nine consecutive service points that allowed the Lady Hornets to jump out to a 10-1 lead in the first set.

It almost seemed like that stretch alone was enough to give Forestville the confidence it needed to cruise to victory.

Really the only time Sherman threatened was in the second set when the Lady Wildcats erased a 7-1 deficit to take a 9-7 lead. Unfortunately for Sherman, the Lady Hornets were not to be denied.

Brooke Ostrye led the way for Forestville with 10 kills, eight digs

and a pair of blocks while Lydia Burger was good for six aces and nine digs.

Bridget Yaw's 10 kills and four digs paced Sherman while Roxanne Toy added five digs and three kills.

Elsewhere is D-2 action, the Maple Grove Lady Red Dragons held off an inspired effort from No. 5 Brocton/Westfield to win in five sets, 29-31, 25-21, 25-23, 20-25, 25-18. It was about a thrilling a match as could be played with both teams drained by the end.

No. 4 Maple Grove was paced by a pair of freshman as Olivia Pembridge charted five aces, nine kills, two blocks and a dig while Maddy Russo was good for 16 kills and five aces. Jazman Hannold led the team with 15 assists.

Lindsay Harp led Brocton/Westfield with 17 kills, 13 blocks, six assists and three aces. Carson Hauser added 24 assists to go with four aces and a pair of blocks.

In Class D-1, the topranked Chautauqua Lake Thunderbirds didn't disappoint in

their sweep of No. 9 Cassadaga Valley, 2514, 25-17, 25-15.

Perhaps predictably, Jenna Einink led the way with 16 kills, 10 digs and a pair of blocks as Chautauqua Lake advanced to the semifinal game against Olmsted.

Other contributors for the Lady Thunderbirds were Ashton Albanesius (10 kills, two aces, five digs), Katie Meadows (13 assists) and Katie Doyle (14 assists).

Hope Zielinski paced Cassadaga Valley with six kills.

The No. 8 Fredonia Lady Hillbillies ran into the buzzsaw that is the No. 1 Springville Lady Griffins as they dropped their Class C-1 match in four sets, 14-25, 26-24, 25-19, 25-23.

D i a ry for me. I can't drive the ball over the creek. I just don't hit the ball that far. But I'm also really bad at laying up. I've found the best thing to do is to choke up on my driver and just punch the ball down the fairway. It's a terribly ugly golf shot, but it does its job more often than not.

Well, this round was one of the 'not' times. I popped the ball way up off the tee and it went way left, also. When I got to where the ball landed, I had absolutely no shot at the green at all. I had to just go to the left of the trees and across the creek to set myself up for a third shot onto the green.

With all of that mumbo jumbo going on, I finished with a bogey, which I was pretty happy with.

Then on No. 4 I did something that I don't think I've ever done before and I still don't know how it happened.

I hit a draw. I didn't yank the ball left like I so often do. I hit a legitimate draw. Unfortunately I was playing for my natural fade and so I went way the heck out to the left. It's a shame because the ball was bombed almost pin height. A bit of a flub still left me off the green, meaning a chip and two putts put me at bogey again.

Perhaps the hole I was most happy about was all the way up to No. 8.

OnE MORE SOLiD ROunD AT THE vERy LEAST

The sun is setting on the Western New York golf season.

Anyone that has read this column in the past or has played CCC knows just how brutal No. 8 can be. Luckily this time the pin placement was about as friendly as it can get.

That said, it was my tee shot that left me feeling good. I've tried just about every club in my bag to try and get the ball to the green in one shot, but just can't do it.

I either go short or long (though usually way left or right, too).

But alas, a 4-iron got me to the front of the green. Well, just off the green in all honesty, but the green sounds better.

Sadly, it still took a chip and two putts because that green is so darned hard, but I will always take a bogey on No. 8.

Always.

My drive on No. 9 was just criminal. I smashed

it and thought it was going to easily clear the creek, but it hit the very top of the far side of the slope and just stayed there. It was on the rocks and crud that are on the slope going down to the creek so I couldn't play it. I had to waste a stroke pulling it out of there about 10 inches. That led to a bogey and a 43 for the day.

A 43— that's actually my second-best round of the year (tied with many, many other rounds). After having no expectations going in, I was exceptionally pleased with a 43.

After golfing, Bryan and I went in and had a beer at the bar and chatted with Steve for a while. Stacey was waiting tables and Janice was there, too.

The Wintersteens are

just great people and great company. Even if the course was trash I would still come there.

But luckily, the course is awesome and really fun to play. I'm already looking forward to playing there next season if I don't get out again this year.

Oh, and I brought two fish fry dinners home for my wife and myself.

CCC has undoubtedly my favorite fish fry in the area. It's so tasty and the sides are great, too. Hush puppies.

How many places can you get hush puppies with your fish fry? So awesome.

As always, golf is great.

Go get yourself some.

Self-Proclaimed Expert Picks: Week 9

By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

LAST WEEK VS. SPREAD: 9-6 (.600) LAST WEEK STRAIGHT PICKS: 10-5 (.667) SEASON VS. SPREAD: 60-59 (.504) SEASON STRAIGHT PICKS: 74-44-1 (.627) Woo-hoo! Four-straight 10-win weeks has the old winning percentage up over .620. That's 1927 New York Yankees territory there. A nice week against the spread (despite some super close games) also has that season percentage up over .500. All in all, it was a good week of football‌except that the Packers got curb-stomped by the Saints. Nobody likes to see that.

It'll be much tougher to pick 10 games correctly this week. Not because the games are hard, but because there are six teams on bye.

Fantasy owners everywhere are panicking right now as half of their team is on bye.

To the picka!

BYE WEEK: ATLANTA FALCONS (2-6), BUFFALO BILLS (5-3), CHICAGO BEARS (3-5), DETROIT LIONS (6-2), GREEN BAY PACKERS (5-3), TENNESSEE TITANS (2-6).

NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (3-4) at CAROLINA PANTHERS (3-4-1) The Saints looked like a completely different team with the power running game of Mark Ingram back in action. Ingram has missed most of the season, but is finally looking like the firstround pick the Saints spent on him back in 2011. Jimmy

Graham is at least healthy enough to make an impact as well, if not 100 percent.

Those two guys give the Saints offense a ton of weapons. The problem is that the Saints played late Sunday night and are going on the road (where they're 0-4) on a short week.

This game is for first place in the NFC South. Don't laugh, it's true. Two sub-.500 teams are battling it out for first place. This feels like the old days of the NFC West, when the Seahawks won the division with a 7-9 record. If it wasn't for the Saints' upset win over the Packers last week, all four teams in the division would have lost last week.

The Panthers are just making a habit of losing games in the last minute. They played the Seahawks about as well as you can play them and then let up at the last second and blew the game. Cam Newton and the offense simply need to put up more

points. And the defense needs to tackle better. For goodness sake, the Panthers are in first place right now with a -41 point differential.

Neither team deserves to win this game, but until the Saints prove they can win on the road, you've got to go with the home team. PICK VS. SPREAD: Panthers (+2.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Panthers.

TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS (1-6) at CLEVELAND BROWNS (4-3) Imagine, if you would, a world where the Browns forgot they were the Browns for just one week and actually took care of business against the previously winless Jacksonville Jaguars. If that was a Cleveland win, plus this week's almost sure win, the Browns would be sitting at a ridiculous 6-2. Luckily they lost to the Jags or the entire universe as we know it might have just imploded.

While the Browns are still a

in every facet of the game.

PICK VS. SPREAD: Browns (-7). STRAIGHT PICK: Browns.

ARIZONA CARDINALS (6-1) at DALLAS COWBOYS (6-2) Ugh. This was so close to being the Game of the Week.

Had the Cowboys been able to beat the Colt McCoy-led Washington Football Team, both of these teams would have had just one loss and I'd have no choice but to dub this game the Game of the Week.

But alas, the Cowboys somehow lost to the Football Team in overtime last week.

It was sloppy, bad football and therefore I didn't watch all of it. The Cowboys looked like anything but Super Bowl contenders.

This team really is worse at home. How that's possible, I have no idea. And how is Dez Bryant slowed down so easily? The guy is a physical freak. The Dallas running game is amazing with that offensive line and DeMarco Murray, but the Cowboys have to get Dez the ball more often. The Cardinals have a great defense, so it'll be fun to see how the Cowboys attack that unit.

The Cardinals broke out the passing game in a big way in last week's win against the Eagles. Carson Palmer hooked up with both Larry Fitzgerald and John Brown for long touchdowns in that game. The latter of which came with just over a minute remaining and proved to be the difference in the win. The defense continues to play well despite dealing with new injuries each and every week. This time it's stud cornerback Patrick

nice story thanks to a winning record, their schedule has been so laughably soft that you can't help but doubt just how good this team is.

Yes, they'll probably beat the horrendous Bucs (aka the most boring team in the NFL). They only have one win against a team that currently has a winning record, however. The running game doesn't scare anyone. The passing game is among the worst in the NFL for long stretches. The defense is 30th against the rush. No, the self-proclaimed expert is not a believer in the Browns.

But he's much less so a believer in the Bucs. This isn't the worst team in the NFL. They're certainly better than the Jags and the Raiders, but the future is not bright for this team. They're not good at all. They're 28th in passing offense, 29th in rushing offense, 30th in passing defense and 23rd in rushing defense. In case you're keeping score, they're horrible Continued on pg 27

Self-proclaimed Expert Picks, continued from page 26 Peterson. He's among the most valuable players in the entire NFL, so the Cards better hope he's able to come back soon. All the Cardinals do is win. It's not pretty, but it's also really hard to pick against them. PICK VS. SPREAD: Cardinals (+4.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Cardinals.

PHILADELPHIA EAGLES (5-2) at HOUSTON TEXANS (4-4) The Eagles were unable to knock off the upstart Arizona Cardinals last week, but might find the task a touch easier against the Houston Texans. Record aside, the Texans are not a very good football team. That's assuming you can slow down Arian Foster.

For all of the attention that Dallas Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray is getting for his rushing exploits, the buzz around Foster has been surprisingly quiet. Foster has carried the ball 60 fewer times than Murray and actually has a higher yards per carry. Both players have scored seven touchdowns on the ground and both are threats in the passing game. Foster is coming off of a game in which he destroyed Tennessee for 151 yards and a pair of scores on 20 carries. It was the eighth career regular season game in which Foster broke the 150-yard mark. The guy is good.

The Eagles didn't play their best last week, but still were about 90 seconds from beating the Cardinals. The defense was better than it's been, but gave up two killer touchdowns of 70+ yards.

If this unit can contain the big plays and slow down Foster, the offense should be able to put up plenty enough points to escape with a win.

Houston isn't an easy place

to play and the Eagles are just 1-2 on the road this season, but this is a veteran team that won't be intimidated. Plus, the Eagles are probably encouraged and energized after watching the rival Cowboys crash back to Earth last week. Those two games are going to be awesome later in the year. But alas, as for this game: PICK VS. SPREAD: Eagles (-2.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Eagles.

NEW YORK JETS (17) at KANSAS CITY CHIEFS (4-3) Okay Jets, we get it, you're terrible. After a week of Bills fans saying that the Jets are 'better than their record' (I was guilty of this, too), the Jets played like a DII collegiate team. In one of the worst performances in recent memory, the Jets officially became a laughingstock.

Geno Smith was bad enough to be pulled in the first quarter after three interceptions on three consecutive drives.

Michael Vick gave the team somewhat of a spark, but also gave the ball away three times. The thing is, the turnovers could have been even worse. Two Jets fumbles bounced right into the hands of other Jets. This could easily have been an eight-turnover game. Mamma Pajama!

The Chiefs have won two games in a row and now get to host a team that has lost seven straight. Kansas City seems to have everything working right now and have to be encouraged as division rival San Diego has lost two in a row. Don't go thinking this is a 'trap game' or anything. The Chiefs are a legitimate playoff contender (though I still think they'll miss out), while the Jets are a legitimate contender for No. 1 overall pick in next year's draft. But Bills fans

should actually be rooting for the Jets. The Chiefs and Bills are two teams that will be battling for one of those two wild card spots come season's end. There's just no way the Jets go into Arrowhead and play a competitive game. No chance. PICK VS. SPREAD: Chiefs (-10). STRAIGHT PICK: Chiefs.

JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS (1-7) at CINCINNATI BENGALS (4-2-1) Ugh. Another game between one of the absolute garbage teams in the NFL and a team that should almost certainly be in the playoff hunt come December. All fans can hope is that this game won't be televised and they can watch some real football.

The Bengals do need to get right, there's no doubt.

Injuries have hurt the offense, but the offensive line hasn't been playing as well as it has in the past. Andy

Dalton might be hanging onto the ball a little bit too long, as he doesn't have his go-to guys in A.J. Green (who might return this week), Marvin Jones and Tyler Eifert. That said, Mohammad Sanu is proving to be worthy of at least a No. 2 role on this team once Green comes back. He made a sensational catch and run over the middle of the field in last week's big win over the Ravens. The Bengals are undefeated at home, but can't get complacent.

The Jaguars were killed by turnovers in last week's loss.

Blake Bortles leads the NFL in turnovers and threw two pick-6's against the Dolphins last week. Without having actually watched any of the Jaguars this season (I don't believe in torturing myself), I can't say if Bortles' problems are mental or physical, but one thing is certain: he'll never win in the NFL if he continues to turn the ball over like he has. Gosh, there

are some horrible teams in the NFL. Normally I'd never take a team that's favored by double-digit points, but this is the Jaguars we're talking about. No, I can't leave 11.5 points on the table. PICK VS. SPREAD: Jaguars (+11.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Bengals.

SAN DIEGO CHARGERS (5-3) at MIAMI DOLPHINS (4-3) Hey everybody, look at this.

It's a game between two moderately good football teams. Huzzah!

Since getting clobbered by the Bills, the Dolphins have actually been one of the hotter NFL teams. Ryan Tannehill has been playing better than he ever has in his career and the Dolphins would be wise to ride his hot hand. The running game with Lamar Miller has been keeping defenses honest, but the Chargers have been among the best Continued on pg 28

Self-proclaimed Expert Picks, continued from page 27 ter teams at stopping the run. It's been the Dolphins defense that has really keyed the turnaround. The pass rush is back to where we thought it'd be and the team is third in the NFL in stopping the pass, allowing just 211 yards per game. Phillip Rivers might be in for a long day.

The Chargers (again, as predicted in this column) have struggled against 'real' NFL teams after beating up on the likes of the Jaguars, Jets and Raiders over the course of a three-week stretch.

Normally a West Coast team coming East is a red flag, but the Chargers might be the exception from the rule. They already came to Buffalo and beat the Bills earlier in the season. Rivers and the passing game are among the best, but the 30th ranked running game has to improve.

No team can survive being this one dimensional. The defense was gashed by the Broncos last week. While the Dolphins are a far cry from Denver, this is definitely a losable game for San Diego.

PICK VS. SPREAD: Dolphins (-1).

STRAIGHT PICK:

Dolphins.

WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM (3-5) at MINNESOTA VIKINGS (3-5) This has to be the hardest game of the week to predict. Why? Because both teams are pretty darn lousy, yet have three wins apiece.

The Football Team gave Dallas its second loss of the season on Monday Night Football last week. The Vikings have played much better with Teddy Bridgewater at the helm.

So Colt McCoy will almost assuredly start the game again with Bob Griffin Threesticks not quite healed from injury. Even if Griffin plays, the odds of him making it through a whole game are slim to none. Perhaps another full week of practice with the first team will knock some more rust off of McCoy. He won the game and didn't make a ton of mistakes, but he definitely looked like a guy that hasn't started an NFL game in three seasons. That said, the guy was a college superstar and high draft pick, so the talent has to be there, right? Alfred Morris and the running game got going last week and should be a big part of

this game as well.

The Vikings are one of the more boring teams in the NFL. They play in a small market, they don't have a ton of talent, they don't have a marquee, face-of-the-franchise type guy and they play in a division that they can't possibly win. That said, there's no reason the Vikings couldn't win this game. All it takes is one pick-six or something and you've got yourself an upset.

Wait, the Vikings are favored? Huh. PICK VS. SPREAD: Football Team (+3.5).

STRAIGHT PICK: Football Team.

ST. LOUIS RAMS (2-5) at SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS (4-3) If anyone knows what to make of the Rams, please make your opinions known. They're one of the bigger

mysteries in the NFL in the self-proclaimed expert's opinion. They beat the Seahawks and then got clobbered by the Chiefs. Now they're back on the road against another division rival in San Francisco.

The number 30 is key for the Rams. When they've allowed 30 or more points, they're 0-5. When they've allowed less than 30 points, they're 2-0.

Now, the 49ers don't exactly have a superpowered offense, so 30 points might be a stretch for them. This is the middle game of a stretch of three straight road games for the Rams. Oh, and they also just lost Jake Long and Brian Quick for the season. Yeah, that's not going to help the offense. So in case you're keeping score, the Rams have lost

their quarterback, left tackle and No. 1 wide receiver for the season.

Could any team possibly survive that hit?

Probably not.

The 49ers were off last week, but are coming off of a horrendous beatdown at the hands of the Broncos the week before that. With two straight road games after this one, this is close to a must-win game for San Fran. With the Seahawks playing the Raiders (almost a guaranteed win), the 49ers must win to keep pace.

The Cardinals have a losable game, but San Fran is already two games behind Arizona for the division lead — three if you're counting the tie-breaker. San Francisco is the opposite of the Rams in that this is a team that's getting healthier and healthier. Tackle Glenn Dorsey should be back

and running back Marcus Lattimore could provide a nice spark.

Either way, there's no way the Rams keep pace in this one. PICK VS. SPREAD: 49ers (-10). STRAIGHT PICK: 49ers.

DENVER BRONCOS (6-1) at NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS (6-2) (Pauses to wipe the drool off the corner of my mouth) If you aren't excited for this game, then you aren't a football fan.

You might not even still have a pulse. You'd better get that checked out.

So the Tom Brady vs. Peyton Manning matchup happens every year because both quarterbacks lead their teams to division titles every year, but it's Continued on pg 29

CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, OCTOBER 31, 2014

Self-proclaimed Expert Picks, continued from page 28 always a treat. What makes this one extra special is that Manning, Brady, the Broncos and the Patriots are all playing at the top of their games right now.

This is going to be awesome.

The Brady-toGronkowski hookup has never been more deadly. Gronk is clearly healthy now and quite literally looks unstoppable. Brady is playing like a man possessed and is shredding every defense that is put in front of him. The Pats are 4-0 at home and well on their way to another AFC East title.

Of course, the Broncos' only loss is on the road in Seattle, so there's certainly no shame in that. Peyton is the alltime leader in throwing touchdowns and you know he's good for at least two in every game. What makes him different is that he just doesn't turn the ball over for someone who throws as often as he does. He's thrown 22 TDs against just three interceptions.

That's ludicrous. As is his 119.0 quarterback rating. Denver has the No. 1 rated run defense in the NFL, but don't expect New England to test that aspect of the

defense. This game is Peyton against Brady and everyone knows it. Is it Sunday yet?

PICK VS. SPREAD: Patriots (+3.5).

STRAIGHT PICK: Broncos.

OAKLAND RAIDERS (0-7) at SEATTLE SEAHAWKS (4-3) For anyone that thinks that the Seahawks are fading, you're about to get a wake up call.

Look for the Seahawks to absolutely manhandle the hapless Raiders and not let up. This is definitely a team that cares about its image so you know its not going to take its foot off the gas pedal even when Seattle leads by 30 points.

After the Raiders play the Seahawks, they host Denver, travel to San Diego and then host Kansas City. This is definitely a team that's going to be 0-11 before going on the road to play the Rams on November 30. Games against the 49ers, Chiefs, Bills and Broncos close out the season after that one. Do you see a win there? It won't happen because it never does (okay it happened once), but this is a team that could definitely go 0-16. But

hey, Derek Carr threw for 328 yards last week, so there's that.

Seattle was a heartbeat away from being 3-4, but was able to pull off a last second-win last week. The offense definitely seems to be missing Percy Harvin and the players have admitted as much.

The locker room is reportedly in turmoil.

It was surprising to see Seattle sit tight at the trade deadline. Many expected the team to add some defensive line and wide receiver depth. This is clearly a team that's built to win now, so why not go all in? Either way, the Seahawks are going to do unspeakable things to the Raiders. I can't say I've ever seen a line of more than two touchdowns, but I'm having a hard time taking the points. PICK VS. SPREAD: Raiders (+15). STRAIGHT PICK: Seahawks.

BALTIMORE RAVENS (5-3) at PITTSBURGH STEELERS (5-3) The Ravens blew a great opportunity to take control of the division by falling to the Bengals last week and now they'll have to pull out a road win to avoid falling to last place in the division (that's assuming the Browns take care of business against the Bucs).

This is definitely one of the best rivalries in the NFL and it's a great choice for prime time.

It's not just a rivalry, but this game has enormous ramifications for the rest of the season.

Few people expected the Steelers to be at 5-3, but Big Ben and that offense has been much better than advertised. Le'Veon Bell has been solid running the ball and Antonio Brown has been as good as anyone in the league. The defense has been doing just enough to win, but the pass rush has to improve somehow.

Torrey Smith was held without a catch in last week's loss. He did leave the game briefly, but Joe Flacco has to get the ball into the hands of his playmakers. The Steelers have given up 9.4 yards per attempt to the last three quarterbacks they've faced, so there's reason to think Flacco will bounce back. But the Ravens lost cornerback Jimmy Smith to a foot injury. That's a huge loss for a team that's about to take on a quarterback that threw for over 500 yards and six touchdowns. The Steelers have been

making me look like a fool lately, but they're a team that I refuse to believe in. PICK VS. SPREAD: Ravens (+1). STRAIGHT PICK: Ravens.

INDIANAPOLIS COLTS (5-3) at NEW YORK GIANTS (3-4) While these teams are separated by just 1.5 games record-wise, is there anyone out there that doesn't think the Colts are significantly better than the Giants?

And that's before you take into consideration all of the injuries that the Giants have endured.

Andrew Luck has entered elite company by throwing for over 2,700 yards in his team's first eight games, but there's reason to believe he's not quite elite yet. He still throws a ton of interceptions and isn't exactly efficient with the football.

He's thrown the ball an obscene 347 times already. That's easily

tops in the league. Matt Ryan is second with a mere 305.

Eli Manning, on the other hand, is being asked to do less. That's definitely a good thing for the Giants. Manning has thrown the ball just 225 times and has been much more careful with the ball than in year's past. He's tossed 14 touchdowns while being picked off just five times, but four of those came in the season's first two games.

Since then, he's been on a 11-1 TD/INT run. The offensive line has been keeping him upright, too, as he's not being sacked as much.

Unfortunately, that's about all that's gone right for the Giants as they've lost two in a row on the road against division rivals. Oh, and not have Victor Cruz for the rest of the season is brutal. PICK VS. SPREAD: Colts (-3.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Colts.

Enjoy this week's games everyone.

Pandemic: Time To Save The World, One Cube At A Time

Sir Melvin Pistachio Knight of the Card Table

*Collectible card games, role-playing games, living card games and board games aren’t exactly ‘sports’, but they’re a huge passion of mine and many others. In this weekly section I’m going to review one of the many games in my menagerie of awesomeness. These reviews are geared towards getting new gamers to realize there is more board games than Monopoly.

The very idea of a cooperative board game confuses a lot of people.

Yes, you're actually teaming up with the other players around the table against the game itself. It's the classic duel of man vs. cardboard… and dice…and time… and luck. Pandemic was the first cooperative board game that I remember playing outside of dungeon crawlers. If you're at all interested in board games, you've undoubtably either played Pandemic or at least heard of it.

BACKGROUND Pandemic was designed

by Matt Leacock and published by Z-Man Games in 2007. The base set is for 2-4 players and recommended for players ages 8 and up.

While younger players probably wouldn't completely 'get it,' they could certainly play as the cooperative style aids itself to helping new or younger players. There are multiple expansions that allow a player to play as the disease, add more roles, transform the diseases, etc.

There is some, though not much text, so the language dependency is minimal.

INTRODUCTION In Pandemic, players are taking on the roles of scientists, containment specialists and other medical personnel in an attempt to contain and cure four different diseases that are spreading rampant throughout the world. The board is a map of the world and the box also contains cards for each city on the map, colored pawns, disease cubes, research stations, reference cards, epidemic cards and more. There's an awful lot of game in the box.

MECHANICS At the beginning of the game, players are assigned one of the many roles that come in the game. Each role has a special power that bends the rules of the game. For example, normally it takes five cards of a particular color to cure that disease, but the scientist only needs four. The board is then set up with disease cubes. Three cards are drawn from the deck and three cubes are placed on each of those cities. Three more cards are drawn and

two cubes are placed on each of these cities.

Three more cards are drawn and one cube is placed on each of those cities. This random setup assures that you'll never play the same game twice.

Players get four actions on their turn. An action can be 1) remove a disease cube in the city that you're in, 2) move to an adjacent city, 3) discard a card from your hand to fly to that city, 4) discard the city card that you're in to fly anywhere, 5) discard the city card that you're in to build a research station, 6) give a city card to another player if both of your pawns are in that city or 7) discard five matching color cards to cure that disease. The last can only be done at a city with a research station.

Atlanta, the Center for Disease Control capital of the world, begins with a research station

and all players begin there as well.

Once a disease is cured, all cubes of that color can be removed from a city for a single action.

The Medic role allows a player to remove all cured disease cubes on a city for free. That's extremely powerful.

At the end of each turn, a player draws two cards and adds them to their hand. These can be city cards, special events or epidemics.

When an epidemic card comes up, the bottom card of the disease deck is drawn and three disease cubes are placed on that city. Also at the end of the turn, a player draws a number of disease cards equal to the current intensity rate.

If a city ever gets four or more disease cubes on it, that disease outbreaks and spreads to each neighboring city.

If eight outbreaks occur during a game, the play-

ers lose. The other way players lose is to run out of disease cubes of any of the four colors.

OVERVIEW Pandemic requires a lot of teamwork, strategy and some luck to win.

If players spread out, they can cover more ground, but they can't trade cards. The game is almost more like a puzzle than a game, sometimes.

There's a reason why Pandemic is rated so highly by nearly every board game reviewer and on boardgamegeek.com. The game is simply great. There are different difficulty settings in case you find the game too hard or too easy. There's just a ton of replayability and fun in the box.

TO OWN OR NOT TO OWN Pandemic needs to be in every collection. It needs to be in every house. I don't know the

numbers, but I'm willing to bet that half the houses in America have a copy of Monopoly in it somewhere. That's garbage. That game should be thrown in the trash and everyone should buy a copy of Pandemic. I don't even have all of the expansions, yet this is the definitely the game in my collection that I have played the most times. It's easily in my top-10, maybe top-5 games of all time. Buy this game.

As always, the first place you should go to shop for board games is coolstuffinc.com. These guys are based in Florida, own a series of game stores and run the best website to buy games that I've ever seen. It's easy to navigate. They have great sales. They have unbeatable every day places. Check them out and tell them you heard about them in the Chautauqua Star.

garner said. ''Fortunately, was able to get some quick innings and I was able to stay in there.''

He gave up two hits, retired 14 in a row, and got 15 outs - that matched how many outs opposing starters Tim Hudson and Jeremy Guthrie combined to get.

Bumgarner boosted his World Series stats to numbers never seen before: 4-0 with a save and an 0.25 ERA, along with three championship rings. In 36 innings, he's allowed just one run and 14 hits, striking out 31 and walking five.

Bumgarner wound up slinging 68 pitches, and finished with 270 innings this season. He went 4-1 with a 1.03 ERA in the postseason - .

Last weekend, former broadcaster and St. Louis Cardinals catcher Tim McCarver paid tribute to the Giants ace. ''It's Gibson-esque, if you will. I know Bob could do that and I saw that from a 60-feet, 6-inch view of him every outing he threw in the World Series. I see the same thing in Bumgarner. I really admire that,'' McCarver said.

Before Game 7, Jack Morris also praised Bumgarner.

Morris knows well about Game 7 - always intense on the mound, he threw a 10-inning shutout in 1991 to lift Minnesota over Atlanta. ''I want to hug him,'' Morris said near the backstop, a couple hours before game time. ''He's my kind of guy.''

''He's got the same emotions, he just doesn't show them. He's got a big furnace burning right now,'' he said.

A lot of stamina, too.

But in this era when pitch counts are so precious, Bumgarner wasn't worried about his arm in Game 7.

And if he was OK, so was Bochy. ''In fact, I was staying away from him every inning,'' Bochy said, ''because I was hoping he wouldn't go, 'I'm starting to get a little tired,' because there's no way I would have taken him out unless he would have told

me that.''

Giants catcher Buster Posey said there wasn't much conversation on the bench with Bochy, Bumgarner and pitching coach Dave Righetti, either. ''Not much of anything. I think everybody could see how good he was,'' Posey said. ''They weren't putting great swings on him.''

No, they weren't. ''We probably would have won if they didn't have him,'' Royals outfielder Lorenzo Cain said. ''But they do have him.''

CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, OCTOBER 31, 2014

Sabres-Leafs Recap, continued from page 24 since I've been here.''

The Leafs allowed 10 shots just once before in franchise history, on Jan. 5, 2002, against Ottawa. It was Bernier's eighth career shutout.

The shot total was the lowest in franchise history for the Sabres. ''We had nothing,'' Sabres coach Ted Nolan said. ''Toronto had everything going, they were skating well.

They deserved everything that they got, and we deserved what we got.''

Tyler Bozak put Toronto in front in the second period, and Phil Kessel, James van Riemsdyk and Jake Gardiner scored in an impressive third for the Maple Leafs.

Buffalo goaltender Michal Neuvirth finished with 33 stops.

As Bernier stood at the other end and waited through 39-plus minutes of a scoreless game, coach Randy Carlyle watched and hoped that one bad bounce wouldn't cost his team. ''Those are nervous times because you know that sometimes fate in sports comes and bites you the wrong way,'' Carlyle said after the Leafs' second victory in six home games this season. ''That was what we were worried about. You'll question that all the time.''

The shot differential of 37-10 was by far the largest of the season for the Leafs.

Hobart dealt Fredonia a 2-0 loss Tuesday in the final game of the Blue Devils' 2014 men's soccer season.

Playing through a driving rainstorm, Hobart took a 1-0 lead on a three-way play in the 38th minute. Passes

by Joe Busuttil and Jacob Fox set up Sean Barry, who

breakaway, and van Riemsdyk hit the post behind Neuvirth on the same play.

A 5-on-3 power play for 1:09 yielded more passes on the perimeter than shots, and Neuvirth made two big stops on Nazem Kadri at the end of the 5-on-4 portion. ''Our goalie was outstanding for us, gave us a chance,'' Buffalo's Josh Gorges said. ''We didn't respond.

That's by far not good enough.''

With Buffalo's Marcus Foligno off for kneeing Kadri, the Leafs finally broke through.

A little over a minute later, Kessel threaded a perfect pass to Bozak at the blue line, and the center was in all alone. Bozak shot high on Neuvirth to make it 1-0 with 49.6 seconds left in the second, stopping the Leafs' power-play skid at 0 for 28. ''I was going minute-by-minute, doing my best like every time I play,'' Neuvirth said. ''I think it was a big goal for them. ... I think if we could go into the locker room tied 0-0, it would be a different story in the third.''

As good as Neuvirth was for the game's first two periods, he gave up a bad one to Kessel 4:18 into the third. Santorelli cycled it to the star winger behind the net, and Kessel banked it in off the goaltender from way below the goal line.

Exactly a minute later, Buffalo's defense was nowhere to be found

when Morgan Rielly, stationed in the corner, found van Riemsdyk at the other side of the net for a tap-in and a 3-0 lead. ''You just got to stick with it,'' Kessel said. ''I thought we stuck with it, and then eventually it breaks and we were able to get a couple goals after that.''

NOTES: Leafs captain Dion Phaneuf departed late in the second period with what Carlyle said was a hip injury. He returned at the start of the third. ... Leafs forward Carter Ashton was a healthy scratch for

the ninth straight game to start the season. Ashton would have to pass through waivers if the team wanted to send him to the minors and is considered likely to get claimed.

Carlyle referred to the 23-year-old as a ''good soldier'' earlier Tuesday for practicing and not getting into a game so far. ... Sabres rookie Sam Reinhart, the second-overall pick in the June draft, played in his eighth NHL game. He can play one more before the first year of his contract counts with the 10th, or Buffalo can send him back to Kootenay of the Western Hockey League.

Devils' Season Ends With 2-0 Loss scored into an open corner.

The Blue Devils had a quality chance earlier in the first half. After a series of passes to free up a shooter, Ryan Ross (Grand Island, N.Y./ Grand Island) clanged a hard shot off the left goal post.

The Statesmen added to their lead on a penalty kick

by Oddmund Nesbakk just 53 seconds into the second half.

A.J. Grecco (Kenmore, N.Y./St. Joseph's Collegiate Institute) started in the Blue Devil goal in his final collegiate game. He was credited with one save before leaving the game to be replaced in the 65th minute by fellow senior Michael Schreiner (Spencerport, N.Y./Spencerport).

Hobart's Mike Lucas made six saves to earn the shutout. He made three diving

stops, including two during a flurry of Blue Devil activity late in the second half. He also made a diving stop during the first half.

The loss left the Blue Devils with a 8-7-3 record. The Statesmen improved to 114-3.

It addition to Grecco and Schreiner, midfielder Chase Lipshie (Port Jefferson Station, N.Y.) were playing their final game.

The loss was the sixth straight to close out Fredonia's year.

"We got off to an awfully good start," Blue Devil head coach P.J. Gondek said of the season in general. "But sometimes when you've got young players, the game itself is hard to wrap your head around. We have good kids, and we still like our kids, but they're still young."

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.

Boaters also have good opportunity to catch steelhead near the mouths of the tributaries. Anglers have recently done well in 10 - 15 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.

Most of the week it has been too rough on Lake Erie to get out to the perch grounds.

However, yellow perch are still available and the late season action has been very good.

Head for depths of 60-70 feet between

Many successful Lake Erie perch anglers employ a fluorocarbon rig, as opposed to fl ashier offerings like a spreader rig. Live emerald shiners are easily the top perch bait.

Emerald shiners are available for dipping along City of Buffalo shore sites. View the Baitfi sh Regulations for information on use, transportation and possession of personally caught baitfi sh.

Upper Niagara River From 10/17 report: The upper river is a great smallmouth bass option in fall as waters cool and bass go on the feed. Also, conditions on the river are often more manageable than the open lake in the fall, and boat launches on the river remain open late into the fall.

Traditional smallmouth bass baits like

golden shiners, crayfi sh, tube jigs and plastics work well when drifting with a bottom bouncing rig, however casting spinnerbaits and stickbaits is another option. Cooling river waters in fall usually turns on the muskellunge fi shing.

Drifting along weed edges with large 8-10 inch tube jigs or casting large stickbaits are top methods. Emerald shiners have produced some decent yellow perch catches at Broderick Park and Ontario Street boat launch.

Chautauqua Lake From 10/17 report: 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.

hopes intact. ''It has played to our advantage mathematically, no doubt,'' he said.

Kenseth, winner of seven races last year, hasn't made it to Victory Lane yet this season. But his 20 top-10 finishes had him waffl ing between second and fourth in the standings during the regular season, and his sixth-place finish has Kenseth ranked fourth in the standings.

Kenseth wasn't in the mood to celebrate his position on Sunday, which he called ''one of the lowlights of my career.'' He spun just past the halfway point and it collected Kevin Harvick, whose car suffered considerable damage.

Harvick, who had started 33rd and last of all the Chase drivers, had worked his way into the top 10 and appeared headed to a strong finish.

Instead, the winner of three races this season finished 33rd and is now last in the Chase field. He likely needs to win either this weekend at Texas or at Phoenix to avoid elimination.

Should he get knocked out, Harvick said he won't stand for Kenseth winning the title. ''He won't win this championship. If we don't, he won't,'' said Harvick in an apparent promise of retaliation.

Kenseth and his Joe Gibbs Racing team understood the frustration from Harvick and Stewart-Haas Racing. Harvick crew chief Rodney Childers posted on Twitter after

the race that he'd lost respect for Kenseth, ''the one person in the field that I never thought would have taken us out.''

It was an error on Kenseth's part, hardly intentional, but it may cost one of the strongest teams this year a shot at the title. Harvick, to France's preseason promise, is now racing for wins and one of the two automatic berths into the Chase.

The same goes for Brad Keselowski, who had to win two races ago at Talladega to advance, only to have a mechanical failure at Martinsville drop him back into a deep hole.

A victory at Texas or Phoenix is his clearest shot at the finale.

The rest of the field can try to follow a safe strategy of simply collecting solid finishes.
