Tanglewood Manor First New York State to Use “Cybercycle”
By Patricia Pihl Managing Editor
Buckle up- you’re going for a ride. A state-of the-art “cybercycle” is now available at Tanglewood Manor in Lakewood, which combines the mental stimulation of a video game with the physical benefits of peddling a bicycle. The device promises to enhance physical and cognitive benefits for the elderly. Seated at the cycle, riders view their chosen path from a screen and control speed, difficulty and direction by bars with each hand. Exercisers can choose from nine or ten “treks.” One includes a path in the redwoods, where participants compete with other riders through a wooded path complete with hollowed out trees, and background scenery. Strategy is also involved, as riders overtake other “cyclists.” Cybercycle keeps track of an individual’s “score,” and challenges the person to beat their previous performance in mileage or heart rate during the next exercise session. “When you’re concentrating on the game, you forget your exercising,” states Joan Denn, Wellness Director at Comfort Today’s Adult Day Services. The point of this new technology is that virtual reality-enhanced exercise, or “exergames,” along with physical exercise can yield greater cognitive benefits. Denn says there have been studies at various universities, which have shown the effectiveness of combining mind and body exercise to prevent Alzheimer’s and various forms of cognitive decline and dementia.
Inside This Week
Voting 101 See A-3 Joan Denn, Wellness Director at Comfort Today’s Adult Day Services stands next to the cybercycle, which is shown to increase cognitive function with regular use.
“We’re the first in the state of New York to purchase cybercycle and we are hoping that people will sign up to use it. Anyone’s who’s been on it doesn’t want to leave it—if you have a competitive nature you are trying to get the guy in front of you.” “ The public is invited to see the entire Comfort Care facility to learn about the new technologies for wellness, including the cybercycle during an open house at the site on December 1. Another program, utilizing brain
games is called “Lumosity.” Lumosity was designed by neuroscientists to improve core cognitive function such as memory, problem solving, attention and flexibility. One exercise called word bubbles gives users three letters and asks them to type in as many words as possible. Like cybercycle a “score” is kept and players are asked to beat their previous performance. The spa-like atmosphere of Comfort Care also brings with it a host of other activities for increasing physical
strength, relaxation, socialization and self-care. Features include a dining area with full kitchen, a reception area, and main floor for group activities and a spa for massage, hair and manicures, pedicures. Private areas for reading or television viewing with a nearby fireplace are also available. There is also a screened in area to enjoy the outdoors and gather. “We are expending to include everybody.

With the 2012 election just days away, many Americans are in the process of deciding who will get their votes, particularly in the presidential election. While it may be easy to decide to support a particular candidate based on political party alone, we all have a civic duty to research where each of the
candidates stand on the issues that matter the most to you. We all should take the personal responsibility of voting seriously and try and keep an open mind until absorbing all of the facts about each candidate in each race we will be voting in. Whether or not you believe that you already know who you will be voting for this Tuesday, learning about what each candidate stands for can help you gain a greater understanding of what is going on this election cycle. If you happen to still be undecided, taking the time to do some research by reading up on the issues may help you choose who will be getting your vote. And if you have already made up your mind, learning about what your candidate stands for is a great way to strengthen your confidence
in that person. The bottom line? Find out who is going to best represent you when it comes to the real issues of importance: the economy, health care, education, future plans for military action overseas, the protection of our environment. Don’t let a lack of knowledge keep you away from the polls on November 6. Not knowing the policies each candidate supports is not an excuse for not voting, especially when there are various resources just a few mouse clicks away. Take the time to educate yourself on the issues that are most important to you so you can proudly cast your ballot for the candidate you think will best represent you. Remember... your vote matters.
Cyber Cycle, Continued from page 1 like to see 30 people in here everyday.” Right now we’d like the public to come to exercise and stay for four hours. Denn says the cost for 1/2 day is $25, or $10 an hour. Breakfast and lunch is also available on site. There is also a full fitness center in on the grounds. Denn continues, “we want people who drive by our facility and say, “I’ve got to get my hair done or I’ve got to get on the cybercycle, or I’ve got to meet the guys for coffee.” We are also trying to make it into a wellness center, where people will come in and take classes
for upper strength, lower body strength, or tai chi,” says Denns, “that’s what we are trying to get going.” Services of the wellness center are intended for anyone aged 55 and up, with prevention being the key goal. “For retired seniors, or someone who has gone through rehab who is still not feeling 100%, I will put them through a fitness test and then go on from there. In the beginning, I work one-on-one, because I have to get a base for where they are physically.” Denn says participants are required to sign a waiver from
their doctor, which clears them for exercise. Other services on site include Wii Fit, dance, tread mills and when weather permits, fresh air hikes. The public is invited to visit Comfort Today Adult Day Services and enjoy free coffee Monday through Friday through Thanksgiving at 17 Gifford Avenue in Jamestown. An open house is scheduled for December 1 from 5 -7 p.m.

Dear Pastor, what does the Bible say about celebrating Halloween? With Halloween happening this week, it would be wise to see what the Bible says concerning participating in this holiday. What we share today is not intended for anyone who is not a Christian, or does not accept the Bible as the authority over conduct in this life. Christians must be careful not to police the world with instructions from the Bible that were only intended for Born-again believers.
Many of the major holidays that we celebrate in America were instituted for the purpose of honoring God. Christmas is celebrating Christ’s birth and Easter celebrates Jesus Christ rising from the dead. Even Thanksgiving was designated as an opportunity to thank God for the blessings throughout the year. Halloween, on the other hand, is focused on evil and dreadful things. Its history and practices are grounded in the placating of evil spirits rather than the worship of God.
The Bible is clear that God’s people should avoid participating in things that are devoted to evil. Ephesians 5:11 indicates “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.” In this scripture the word “fellowship” denotes being involved or participating. Some may say that Halloween is really just a harmless holiday as long as you keep away from the occult aspect of it. While that may sound reasonable, it is not what God commands. 1 Thessalonians 5:22 states, “Abstain from every form of
evil.” As followers of Christ, we should not involve ourselves in celebrating things that are spiritually dark, including costumes depicting blood and gore or activities designed to frighten. So what can Christians do on Halloween? The Bible says to overcome evil with good (Romans 12:21). Many churches, rather than have children feel “left out,” offer alterative celebrations that consist of candy and activities that are enjoyable and honor God! If costumes are allowed, Biblical
figures or non-scary themes are specified. Our church has offered a costumes-optional pizza-bowling party for the younger ones and Laser-tag (its like paint-ball with laser lights) and Chinese food for the teens. If there are no alternative get-togethers in your area, try coming up with your own. Find other parents at your church or in school that would help out with activities, treats, and getting the word out. There is no scripture that says honoring God can’t be fun!
a day to remember that we too are equally called to be included among God’s saints, God’s holy people. And how do God’s children act? The beatitudes tell us. We are to be poor in spirit. We are to hunger and thirst after righteousness. We are to be kind, peacemakers. Do you think that the saints found life to be easy, without challenges? Probably not! They struggled just as we do. John tells us that he saw a “white robed multitude, which no one could number from every nation,
race, people and tongue.” The feast of All Saints Day is a time to turn our eyes to this “great cloud of witnesses” who are with God and yet still with us and to be grateful for their lives. Excerpts for this article came from The Book of Saints by Victor Hoagland. Shirley Hilburger-Stratton has a Masters Degree in Pastoral Studies from St. Bernard School of Theology in Rochester, NY. Growing up in Angola, she attended Most Precious Blood Church where the priests and nuns first introduced their love of the saints to her.
Catholic Corner All Saints Day, November 1
By Shirley HilburgerStratton Contributing Writer
Nov. 1 is a day to exercise our memory. Is there anyone in your life who is now dead who attracted you because of their goodness and kindness, or who supported you and took a special interest in you and others? Is there anyone who inspired you by his or her example? Do you wish to imitate the warmth and hospitality of a welcoming neighbor, or the talents of a special teacher? Maybe you would like to be more like your aunt or uncle, or a grandparent. Do you ever ask that person for help now
that he or she is with God? We are familiar with public figures whom we consider saints and have been canonized by the church. Mother Teresa of Calcutta who worked with the poor and dying is one. Or maybe you know someone less public, possibly a soldier who lost his/her life trying to save a companion. Today is the day to celebrate God’s saints, canonized or not, and to be grateful for the example and inspiration they provide. It is also

Susan Sipos of Cassadaga showed a ruffle knitted scarf she made from a pattern given to her by Jean Johnson of Ohio. Carol Gates showed her latest spin of 140 yards of Shetland wool. The program
of the day concluded with Martha Woolley reading one of her many famous poems about cookies. Fleece from sheep, angora goats, angora rabbits, and other animals is used in making the yarn.

setting. The dogs are specially trained to offer themselves up for affection and any manner of handling,” she said. “That’s their job,” she told the students.
Roan addressed the students, “Our programs inspire learning and change, and include everyone,” Then she leaned over and petted Bradley, a Corgi; short to the ground,
Cathy Roan, of Therapy Dogs United, and canine companion “Bradley” educate students on the therapeutic uses of dogs.
To the FFA students, she described the process through which a dog, any dog, can become a member of Therapy Dogs United. To become a member, the dog must complete training by a ten-step program offered through the American Kennel Club. The program, called Canine Good Citizen (CGC), requires that the dogs perform a prepared training and then pass a series of tests to receive their certificate. Describing the general program of the CGC program, Cathy Roan said that the training course is for the benefit of both dog and owner. “We believe that all dogs deserve training and at the same time deserve a responsible owner. It is our goal to reward responsible dog ownership.” She continued further, demonstrating the possible vocational potential of therapy dog ownership, saying that “Some insurance companies recommend CGC
training, and an increasing number of apartments and condominiums are requiring training for resident dogs.” She points out, “Medical science shows that interaction with a therapy dog can reduce blood pressure; promote physical healing; reduce anxiety, fatigue, and depression; and provide emotional support.” Bradley seemed to concur by nestling against the leg of a student, “Our dogs love human contact,” Cathy said. “How does it do that? ” a student asked. “Sometimes,” Cathy answered, “a therapy dog just sits or lies quietly while being petted, like Bradley is doing,” hinting at Bradley on the classroom floor, “or just listens to a story from someone, like someone in nursing home.” Bradley sat up, “Sometimes the dog will visit a school to help teach children about the humane care of animals.” She described
how that in a hospital setting, a therapy dog might visit patients in oncology, or even hospice centers. Cathy Roan explained the responsible Dog Owner’s Pledge, as stated in the Canine Good Citizen vow that the dog and owners promise. They being: -I will not allow my dog to run loose in the neighborhood. I will ensure that my dog has some form of identification when appropriate (which may include collar tags, tattoos, and/or a microchip ID.) I will not allow my dog to be a nuisance to others by barking while in the yard, in a hotel room, etc. - I will pick up and properly dispose of my dog’s waste in all public areas such as on the grounds of hotels, on sidewalks, parks and such. This will include wilderness areas, hiking trails, campgrounds, and in off-leash areas. “Can any dog be in the program?” another student asked.
“Yes,” Cathy said, “Poodles are often a choice pet for Canine Good Citizen. They are nonshedding, non-allergenic. But many other breeds become successful graduates from the American Kennel Association accepted candidate program.” “But,” she stressed to the students, “a therapy dog is not a service dog.” She used the example of seeing-eye dogs or police work dogs, “That’s not what a therapy dog does,” she said. “The relationship of a dog is about emotion and behavior, not necessarily purely serving someone.” Persons who are interested in enrolling their dog in the Canine Good Citizen class, or looking for information on Therapy Dogs, may call the Erie Pennsylvania Chapter at 814-456-DOGS (3647).

SUNY Fredonia School of Music
The Musical Journeys Program of the Fredonia School of Music continues its seventh season of free concerts designed to appeal to very young children. Selected student ensembles from the Fredonia School of Music will perform half-hour Children’s Concerts on four Saturday mornings with two performances (one at 10:30 a.m. and one at 11:30 a.m.). The second concert will be held on Saturday, Nov. 3 in Dunkirk Free Library, 536 Central Avenue, Dunkirk. Planned with the help of SUNY Fredonia faculty who are experts in music and education, the concerts are designed to introduce very young audiences (from infants to 6-year-olds) to musical instruments. In this child-friendly environment, performers will invite the children to sit on the floor close to the musicians; family members are encouraged to bring blankets or carpet squares to sit on. Strollers can be parked around the edges of the seating area. “It’s wonderful to see the musical relationship between the children and the college student performers develop as the concert progresses. The musicians are sharing music

they love, and the children certainly respond to that,” said Sarah Hamilton, associate professor of oboe and co-organizer. An African drumming ensemble will perform at the Nov. 3 concert. The musicians are Fredonia School of Music students Jamie Sunshine (Williamsville) and Nathaniel Gworek (Lewiston). “The Children’s Concerts are enjoyable, child-appropriate
opportunities for very young children to interact with music and musicians. For the young audience and the performers, music becomes a playmate to join in a thrilling adventure.” said Jill Reese, assistant professor of music and co-organizer at the Fredonia School of Music. “During these events, learning and teaching among the children and the student musicians is mutual: children learn about music through moving,
listening, and creating, and our student musicians learn to engage young imaginations and ignite new musical passions!” The Children’s Concert Series is part of the Musical Journeys Program, a community outreach project offered by the Fredonia School of Music.

That sets the stage for the audience to vote for its favorite candidate. “Our performance is aimed at revealing the showmanship and theatricality of the campaign process by performing it in the style of a reality TV show where reality is already skewed and we hope to find comedy in the juxtaposition of something so serious in a not-so-serious setting,” said director Marisa Caruso, a member of the campus Community Arts Council, which is presenting the show. The 10-student cast includes Mark Diven (host/moderator), Dave Quinones (President Barack Obama) and Jacob Bradley (Gov. Mitt Romney). Several Political Science students will serve both back stage and in the house to assist with the final election. Drawing upon the talent of students and faculty, including Tom Loughlin, Sarah Hamilton, Jonathan Chausovsky, Samantha Kenney, Jason Dilworth, Sherri Mason and Rob Deemer, the Community Arts Council conceived “American President” on the heels of the success of “Arts Continued on page 13

In Our Back Yard to Premier Nov. 6 Contributed Article Bill Ward
Western NY has long held a reputation for producing quality independent art. From Blue Herons (Festivals) to Maniacs (10k), discerning listeners have long cast their ears toward Chautauqua County for original musicians who often lead the way in their field. Up until recently, these songwriters and players have been limited when it comes to showcasing their talents, let alone getting radio airplay. “Our Back Yard” is a weekly radio show on 106.9 KISS-FM (wkza-fm) that features regional original music. Airing at 6 p.m. each Sunday and hosted by veteran radio personality Bill Dorrion, the program has been airing the recorded music of local independents for some time. As a natural progression, KISS-FM and Trinity Guitars in Jamestown have announced the premier of “In Our Back Yard – LIVE!”, a monthly radio show featuring live performances of independent artists from throughout the area. Presented as a concert series
in the Trinity Guitars Studio in front of a live audience, “In Our Back Yard – LIVE!” joins the popular Rolling Hills Radio as yet another purveyor of live music on the Jamestown, NY radio airwaves. The shows will be hosted by Chautauqua County musician Bill Ward and presented on select Tuesdays at 7 p..m from November to May at Trinity Guitars, 800 West Third Street. Each show will feature the live performances of two independent artists from the Northeastern US. It will then be aired the following Sunday as that week’s IOBY show. The events are free to the public, but reservations for each event must be secured through Trinity Guitars before admission. Dunkirk’s Sean Patrick McGraw is a true “Honky Tonk Hero.” Touring worldwide, recording his own hits and writing for some of the industry’s best artists, SPM lives the neon dream. He is taking time out somewhere between New Mexico and Oklahoma to fly up and help launch the new show. Big Leg Emma is The Northeast’s “festival favorite.” They
have been touring, playing, and recording for the last decade, and are the perennial ‘bring the house down’ act at virtually every festival they headline, including Sherman NY’s own Great Blue Heron Festival. For IOBY-Live!, BLE’s Steve Johnson, Charity Nuse, and Kev Row bring the band’s music up close and personal for the radio airwaves. The schedule for the premier season of “In Our Back Yard – LIVE!” is as follows: November 6: Sean Patrick McGraw with Big Leg Emma’s Charity, Steve, and Kev Air Date: November 11 December 11: Bumpy Peterson with Bill Ward and Amanda Barton’s Christmas Sessions Air Date: December 16 January 15: Smack Dab with
Cindy Love Air Date: January 20 February 12: Alex Kates with The Bogarts Air Date: February 17 March 12: Gina V. with Susan Waite and Red Letter Blues Air Date: March 17 April 16: Barbara Jean and friends with the Tiger Maple String Band Air Date: April 21 May 14: All Star IOBY – LIVE! Festival Air Date: May 19 For more information or to reserve seats for “In Our Back Yard – Live!” call Trinity Guitars at 716-665-4490 or 716-753-2800.

Donna and Charlie Meder of Stockton were awarded the Distinguished Service Award in Memory of Amy King, and were named the Chapter’s 2012 Volunteers of the Year for Chautauqua County. The Meders have dedicated many hours, both day and night, over the past 15 years to assist victims of disasters, locally and nationally. Charlie continues to travel to national disasters with the Chapter’s Emergency Response Vehicle, and both Charlie and Donna continue to respond locally to help assist victims of home fires and other natural and man-made disasters. They have participated in speaking engagements
about their experiences with the Red Cross, most recently regarding their support of the Katrina relief efforts. Donna assists the Chapter with client casework, and has also assisted the Chapter with Services to Armed Forces. Charlie often drives a van at blood drives in the Amish communities, serving as a shuttle for donors. “This award has been presented to many deserving individuals in the past, and this year is no exception,” said Mr. Tucker. “It is an honor to recognize volunteers as dedicated as The Meders for their years of service.” “The volunteers of the American Red Cross of Southwestern New York contributed over 18,151 hours of service in Chautauqua, Cattaraugus and Allegany counties last year,”

YMCA Sets Members On Path To Wellness, Better Lives Contributed Article Jamestown YMCa
Let’s face it: Americans want—and need—to get a handle on their wellbeing. The Jamestown YMCA is helping them do just that. ActivTrax: a total wellness system was recently added to the offerings at the Jamestown YMCA. ActivTrax provides sound guidance on exercise, weight loss and nutrition. As our nation continues to battle health problems like obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and overall stress, ActivTrax couldn’t have come to our community at a better time. Faced with an onslaught of misinformation, get-fit-quick schemes, and horrific dietary choices, knowing just what to do can be tricky. With ActivTrax, Y members have a simple tool that they can use at their own pace, one that will give sensible guidance and help them reach their goals healthfully. “We think ActivTrax will give our members the tools they need to achieve success; we couldn’t be more excited about its prospects. From stress management to weight loss to proper nutrition, we think this system will be a tremendous asset to our facility and to our members on the whole,” said Mark Eckendorf, YMCA CEO.

sold books from her home in Westfield. “Gosh, it was crowded,” she said recalling the congested floor space and overflowing book shelves. Then in 2008, when a retail storefront in Sherman became available, she moved “lock, stock and title” into that building. “I’m a Sherman girl,” she prides. “My family is multigenerational here. I grew up here. I went to school in Sherman.” Reta is prideful of her local heritage. “This store is a good location. I’m glad to be here.” If you can’t find the book you’re looking for, it can be ordered from an on-line inventory. The bookstore has extensive search library for used books. East Branch Books is in affiliate of internet-order links;
she receives book requests from on-line buyers—Amazon, AbeBooks, BookFinder, and the likes. Rare books, collector’s editions, can be found within that recourse. “But,” Reta admits, “I’m not a book collector.” The book collector, she explains, is a different type of reader. “The collector is a specialist,” she clarifies, “they seek out a book based upon its age, origination, or number of printings, much like antique collectors. To them, the book is more about just having it, not so much for its content.” At East Branch Books, the books are there to be sold and shared, for enjoyment and knowledge. “I don’t display books; I sell books.” One’s participation with books
can have many experiences: to arouse, to instruct, and to motivate being just a few of them. “A book,” says Reta as she takes an example from a shelf behind her, “is a physical thing that can transport you to an imaginary place.” Where does she get all those books? “Library sales, auctions, house sales,” she answers, gesturing at the tall shelves throughout the store. When asked if she knows exactly how many books are displayed on those shelves, Reta says, “Oh, I don’t know precisely. I used to count them, but now I just file them in their section.” In the days of the nationally commercial retail market, the sole-proprietor owned, brick-and-mortar store have become a rare source for buyers who search for a more personal shopping experience. That chain-brand type of merchandising does not discourage Reta. “I get a lot of people coming through here,” pointing to the street outside her door, “Sherman attracts all kinds of people. They come in
from I-86 (the interstate less than one-mile from town) and from Chautauqua Institution.” In addition, Sherman is auspiciously located central to a vibrant Amish community. Reta says that many of the Amish school teachers come to East Branch Books for classroom textbooks, adding enthusiastically, “Amish children love to read.” East Branch Books is also a seller of Amish authors. “And not just cookbooks,” indicating a recently published book by Noah Wengerd, as an example, about the Amish lifestyle. The bookstore features a considerable library from the Amish community: memoirs, entertaining stories, and accounts on the history of the Amish. East Branch Books is at 113 West Main Street in Sherman. It is open Wednesday through Friday from noon until 5 p.m. and on Saturdays from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. Appointments can be made by calling 716-7616600.

Can You Help Us Keep Kids Warm This Winter? Contributed Article Cattaraugus County Bank
During the month of November, all eight CCB (Cattaraugus County Bank) locations will display red wagons. The red wagon is the national symbol of “America’s Promise” (a nation-wide program that focuses on improving the lives of America’s youth). The wagons will serve as depositories for public donations of new hats and mittens. Local groups and schools will receive and distribute the
donations. CCB joined America’s Promise in 1999 and is helping to ensure that children receive the five resources the organization believes children need in order to become productive adults: An ongoing relationship with a caring adult-mentor; Access to safe places & structured activities during nonschool hours; A healthy start; A marketable skill through effective education;
An opportunity to give back through community service “It’s getting to be the time of year when the thought of keeping warm with a good hat and pair of mittens is at the forefront of our minds,” states Mary Jo Woodarek, CCB’s America’s Promise Chair. “We don’t want any child to be cold this coming winter. It’s as simple as that. Some families need help and CCB is pleased to take the initiative to do that. So, we ask, can you help a child by donating hats and mittens?”
CCB is an FDIC insured New York State chartered independent, community bank. From January 2, 1902, CCB has established an unprecedented record of fiscal integrity and sound financial growth, which now totals $180 million in assets.

Legislatureís Vote to Continue Due Diligence is Good Government On behalf of the Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce and the Manufacturers Association of the Southern Tier we express our appreciation to the sixteen legislators who voted yes on resolution #189-12, Authorizing Negotiation of Contract for Sale of the Chautauqua County Home.
We view this vote as reassurance that a majority of the legislators are hearing our voice and the voice of the majority of the property tax payers in Chautauqua County. As I stated at the special legislative meeting on Oct. 18 there is clearly consensus among everyone that we need to find a way to continue to provide care at the facility, maintain jobs, get the facility to a better
financial situation and lower the burden on the property tax payer. There is a difference in opinion on how to get this accomplished. The studies and data provide very clear evidence that there is only one solution to this situation and that is to sell the home to a private company. We view last weekís vote by the legislature as a vote of confidence for the County Executive to proceed with the
next step of negotiating with the prospective purchaser, Altitude. We also view the vote in support of this next step as a vote to keep the facility open, maintain the jobs at the facility, improve the financial situation at the facility and put the facility on the tax rolls. This is good government. Thank you to, George Borrello, Rod Rogers, Robert Stewart, Tom Erlandson, Larry Bar-

two years. He is working to stop legislature that will kill jobs and stopping bad bills with nice names such as the Fair Wage Act, and Fair Elections Act. When actually read and explained these bills do not live up to their very nice names. There are conditions within them that would be deleterious to NYS. He is also concerned with the cost of healthcare and the mandates that are added to proposed bills. Adding mandates adds cost. Mr. Goodell believes that we need to phase out healthcare taxes. He also spoke about the need for Welfare Reform; NYS has the 2nd highest benefits and spent the most structurally. Mr. Goodell explained that when he receives a bill for consideration he first reads it, then he recognizes the positive aspects of the proposal and then he applies economic principals. Many times something that seems sound has unrecognized side effects that may be detrimental or even damaging to the bill. He gave the example of no realty sales without a water well check. Although this sounds like a reasonable and sound proposal it is often impossible to accomplish and can prevent the completion of the sale. During the question and answer Mr. Goodell was asked about separating Upstate NY and NYC. He said that the state and the city have different perspectives on relationships with businesses. But the Assembly has been able to keep NYC rules in NYC and out of the rest of the state. On the issue of fracking, Goodell said he did not support a statutory moratorium but does support a practical moratorium by the DEC. On the issue of NRG in Dunkirk. NRG provides 42% of Dunkirk’s budget, and 30% of the Dunkirk School District’s budget. They are willing to make a $700 Million investment to turn the existing facility into a natural gas facility. He encourages all of us to sign the on line petition. When asked about random drug testing for Welfare recipients he said that he supports drug testing. Being drug free is part of being job ready and they shouldn’t be spending welfare money on drugs. This concluded the series of presentations by candidates for NYS Assembly. All were encouraged to vote. can log in on the Chamberís website to update your business or contact information, pay a bill, add a coupon to your landing page, or review a referral report to see how often your business has been viewed on the Chamber website or referred on the phone.

SUNY Fredonia Brings ‘Extraordinist’ Back to Opera House for Friday Performance Contributed Article SUNY Fredonia
Renowned “extraordinist” Craig Karges will serve up his unique world – where tables float, minds are read, metal bends and imaginations are challenged – at a public performance at the 1891 Opera House, Fredonia, on Friday, Oct. 26, 8 p.m., to launch Family Weekend activities at SUNY Fredonia. Karges, a perennial favorite on the college circuit, combines the art of magic with the science of psychology and the power of intuition to create extraordinary events live on stage. Not only has his touring show, “Experience the Extraordinary,” mystified audiences of all ages, it’s also been named one of the top five family/variety shows in North America by “Performance Magazine,”
News Channel and CNBC, and has starred in two onehour specials. His accolades include National Association for Campus Activities (NACA) Campus Entertainer of the Year (six times), NACA Variety Entertainer of the Year (12 times) and NACA Campus Entertainment Award recipient (18 times). All are record tallies. So revered on campus is Karges that CNN Headline News anointed him “king of college campus entertainment.” Karges has also delighted visitors at Chautauqua Institution, where Vice-President and Director of Programming Marty Merkley described his performance as “marvelous, astounding, humorous and extremely entertaining.” At last count, the well-traveled entertainer has logged over
the international touring talent weekly. The publication proclaimed it the “next era of mystery entertainment.” With that top five designation, Karges joins exclusive company that includes illusionist Davie Copperfield and Disney on Ice. “No matter where I perform, I try to make my audiences feel they are part of something they have never experienced before and hopefully will never forget. My goal is to entertain my audiences through the creation of mystery and to open their minds to unlimited possibilities,” Karges said. Truly impressive is Karges’ list of credentials. He’s logged over 40 appearances on national television, including “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” and “Larry King Live” as well as CNN Headline News, Fox
SUNY Fredonia Senior Receives Dual Honors
4,000 appearances in all 50 states as well as in 17 foreign countries on four continents. Karges is also a nationally recognized speaker and author of three books, “Ignite Your Intuition,” “The Wizard’s Legacy – A Tale of Real Magic” and “Extraordinary Tales – Stories from the Road.” His tour schedule takes him to corporate events, theaters, universities and casino showrooms. SUNY Fredonia’s Spectrum Entertainment Board is thrilled to bring Karges back for his third performance; his first two shows were sell-outs. Tickets for this show, recommended for all ages, are $10 in advance, available online at http://www.fredonia.edu/ campuslife/familyweekend.asp, and $12 at the door.

in Syracuse. A Childhood Education major with a concentration in Mathematics and a minor in Leadership Studies, Ms. Allers also serves as Senior Class President at SUNY Fredonia. She served on the Faculty Student Association Executive Director Search Committee as well as the Presidential Inauguration Planning Committee, and is the student representative to the Fredonia College Foundation Board of Directors and on the Faculty Student Association Board of Directors. At the recent investiture of SUNY Fredonia President Virginia Schaefer Horvath, Ms. Allers was appointed by Student Association President Jordan Nicholson to participate in the academic procession as a Student Marshal. She is also serving as a teaching assistant for a freshman seminar class during the fall semester, and has served as a College Ambassador and admissions tour guide since 2011. In student
governance, Ms. Allers has served as a representative and Public Relations chair to the Student Association since her freshman year, and as sophomore class president and a member of the Student Affairs Committee. The recipient of the Robert Coon Recognition Award as the outstanding junior student, Ms. Allers was also the recipient of an Undergraduate Alumni Council Scholarship, the American Association of University Women-Jacquie Walker Scholarship, Malcolm J. French Scholarship, the campus’ Council for Women’s Concerns Marion Sonnenfeld Scholarship and the Marc Cohen Award of the Alma Mater Society. In the spring of 2010 she served internships with the Fredonia College Foundation and the Leadership Development Workshop. As one of the first members of Fredonia for St. Jude, Ms. Allers has led many efforts to
raise funds for the children’s hospital.

During the past two years, Fredonia for St. Jude raised over $25,000. Ms. Allers also assisted a nearby Dunkirk elementary school with its Math-a-Thon which raised over $4,000 for St. Jude. SUNY Fredonia President Horvath, in a letter supporting Ms. Allers’ nomination for the ACT scholarship noted, “Meagan combines caring for others with a keen sense of how to inspire individuals and organize groups. Despite her stepping easily into leadership roles, she never fails to give credit to those with whom she works. I expect Meagan Allers to make a difference in the world – not a statement that I offer lightly or have said about many people.”

Q&A
Beak trims not needed for bird
Q: Do I need to trim the beak on my African Grey parrot? I find contradictory advice in books and on the Internet. — via Facebook A: Although beaks are constantly growing at a rate of one to three inches per year, depending on the species, the beak of a normal pet bird does not need to be trimmed. Your bird will keep his beak at the proper length through normal chewing activities. Chewing is essential both for the physical and emotional health of a parrot. Overgrowth of the beak is frequently a sign of illness, such as liver disease or malnutrition. In many situations, there may be a malocclusion, or misalignment of the upper and lower mandibles, not allowing normal wear to occur and resulting in beak overgrowth. Contrary to some information you’ve found, don’t accept “beak trims” as a routine health care measure — they’re not. A bird who gets routine “beak trims” instead of proper medical attention may get an attractive beak, but the bird is likely to die of the primary disease that is causing the abnormal growth of the beak in the first place. Many of these malocclusions, nutritional issues, or liver problems can be corrected if diagnosed and addressed early and accurately. Strong as they are, beaks sometimes break. Common causes of beak fractures include fighting between birds of different sizes (with the smaller one usually getting the worst of it) and excessively short wing trims that offer no “gliding” ability, so a falling bird lands hard on his beak (or on his fanny, which can also be injured). For optimum beak health, provide your bird with lots of things to chew on. If you see a beak problem, don’t try to deal with it on your own. Your bird needs the help of an experienced avian veterinarian to properly diagnose and treat any problem. — Dr. Marty Becker Do you have a pet question?

A dog’s tongue doesn’t help heal wounds — use an antibiotic instead. • The idea that a dog’s saliva has healing powers has been around at least since the ancient Greeks and Romans, whose physicians believed it to be an antidote for poisoning. Later, St. Roch was often pictured with a dog licking a sore, reflecting the belief that the patron saint of plague victims knew something about a cure and that his dog’s saliva made him healthy. Modern medicine, no surprise, doesn’t look kindly on such theories. And by the way: Dogs are attracted to open wounds because the serum from them is sweet. • The phrase “Beware of Dog” is so old that its Latin equivalent — cave canem — has been found on signs in Roman ruins. The word “watchdog” isn’t quite so old; the first mention of it is by Shakespeare, in “The Tempest.” • Neuter a dog with a needle? The return of an injectable drug that sterilizes male dogs is being watched closely by animal-welfare organizations and veterinarians, in hopes of having another tool at their disposal in keeping the number of pets needing new homes down. According to the VIN News Service, Zeuterin is a solution of zinc gluconate that’s injected directly into the testicles, killing existing sperm and stimulating inflammation that leads to scarring. The resulting scar tissue results in infertility. — Gina Spadafori

Defense Carries Fredonia To Ralph Wilson Stadium By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor
It was only five weeks ago when Fredonia hosted Cleve Hill in what seemed like a pivotal C North game with the winner likely winning the division. The Eagles were undefeated, but had the opportunity to basically lock up the division. Fredonia, who ultimately won, moved into a first place tie with Cleve Hill, but owned the tiebreaker with just one league game remaining. Of course, both teams faltered soon after, prompting the two league favorites to be forced to win two road games for a chance to play at Ralph Wilson Stadium. Well, lo and behold, from opposite sides of the bracket, these two teams will meet again with a sectional championship on the line (Saturday, 1 p.m.). In Fredonia’s 15-8 back in Week 5, the Hillbillies did a wonderful job containing Cleve Hill running back Brandon Thomas, who has rushed for 1,030 yards and 17 touchdowns this year. To be able to have a chance of advancing to regionals, they’ll need to that again. Fortunately for Fredonia, that’s been the strength of the team all year long. “Our defense has played well all season,” Fredonia head coach Bob Ball said. “When we’ve given up points, it’s been our offense or special teams giving up field position.”

Fredonia has beat Cleve Hill each of the last two years, but they'll have to beat them one more time to keep their season alive. (File photo)
And, as Ball noted, the lone touchdown Fredonia allowed against Cleve Hill did come after a long interception return. But, that’s been the case all year long. The Hillbillies defense has allowed just 12.1 points per game and has been excellent since losing to Akron. “The biggest thing for us is our team speed,” Ball said. We also play really good team defense and that’s something we’ve worked on a lot this year. We’re trying to get six-seven guys to the ball each time. It helps to gang-tackle. “But our defensive ends Christian
Saden and Nick Nocek have done a great job preventing teams from getting to the edge, too.” Ball also mentioned his linebackers Cody Smith and Zach Buckley. Smith (younger brother of 2010 quarterback Shane) had a massive game last week, with 12 tackles, a sack and a forced fumble as they beat JFK 21-0 in the semifinals. The junior has done a great job manning the middle of their defense. Buckley, meanwhile, has truly only played both sides of the ball in four games this year. For the first time since early September, Buckley looks
like he back to 100 percent. But his value doesn’t just come on defense, where he’s one of the top linebackers in Western New York. “He’s well rested at the right time of the season,” Ball said. “We really held him out offensively in a few games and it’s huge to have him back. He’s a real good blocking back, too. But with him, it’s not only the blocking and the running, it’s his leadership. We get a big boost when he’s on the field.” Fredonia’s offense certainly might need it. The Hillbillies haven’t been Continued on pg 8
Jamestown Earns Another Shot With Orchard Park By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor
Head coach Tom Langworthy made his teams goals well known for the 2012 season a long time ago. Almost a year ago to be exact. It was at his team’s 2011 football banquet last December when Langworthy said next year’s goals would be to win all of their home games, reach Ralph Wilson Stadium and win a sectional championship. Last week, Jamestown met two of those goals in a 42-14 romping of Frontier. This week, they’ll have a chance for the third — and for the program’s first trip into the state playoff system since 2001. “To set a goal 10-11 months ago and to have it in our grasps is something really special,” Langworthy said. Standing in the way is traditional power and nemesis Orchard Park. The Quakers carried an 18-game winning streak into Strider Field just four weeks ago and left with their first loss since 2010. But, Orchard Park has won each time out

since — convincingly — and comes into Saturday’s game (7 p.m. kickoff ) with just as much confidence as Jamestown. But, the Red Raiders have every reason to think they can beat the Quakers again. Back in Week 6, Jamestown won 35-28 thanks to a red-hot passing game that opened
up plenty of space throughout the field. There, quarterback Jacob Sisson completed 16 passes for more than 200 yards and Jamestown was able to march up and down the field. Now, with a season on the line, Langworthy says he thinks staying balanced will be the key to being
able to do it again, which will be needed if Jamestown can win. “If you want to beat Orchard Park, you better score a lot of points,” he said. “Because, they’re going to find a way to score themselves.” For the year, Jamestown is averaging slightly more than 36 points per game. Orchard Park is averaging slightly more than 39 points per game. You might expect a barnburner. Sisson has led the offense much of the year, but as was the case last week, he took a back seat to junior classmate Da’Quan Hollingsworth, who went for 193 yards and three touchdowns. “Last week we ran the ball so well because I think Frontier wanted to take away the pass,” Langworthy said. “We have to be balanced and continue to do what we’ve done all year.” Which will come to no surprise for Orchard Park. It will be the fourth time the two teams have met over
Bryant Still Iffy As Lakers Approach Season Opener By Greg Beacham Associated Press
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) — Kobe Bryant has missed the last week of practice with an injury. His teammates still don't know their new offense. And the Los Angeles Lakers just finished the first winless preseason in franchise history. Ready or not — and most signs point to not — the Lakers' regular season has arrived. Bryant sat out Monday while his teammates went through a lengthy workout ahead of Tuesday night's opener against Dallas. It's the first of four games in six days for a star-studded club with championship aspirations, but plenty of work ahead. ''I think all of us are ready (for) the popcorn and the lights to come on tomorrow,'' said Dwight Howard, who played in just two preseason games while returning deliberately from back surgery. ''It's not going to come overnight. We all understand that. We just have to stay patient through the whole process. We have to keep working, and we'll be fine.'' Continued on pg 4

'Frankenstorm' Results In Penn State Postponement Contributed Article
Fredonia State Sports Information
FREDONIA, N.Y. — The scheduled men's ice hockey game between Fredonia State and Penn State has been postponed due to the threat of Hurricane Sandy in the northeast. The game has been rescheduled for Tues., Dec. 11, at 7 p.m. in Fredonia. The Blue Devils were scheduled to play host to the Nittany Lions at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the Steele Hall Ice
Arena. Yet after talks between the two coaches, the schools mutually agreed to postpone the game as the storm — nicknamed "Frankenstorm" by some media outlets — started moving westward this morning as predicted. The postponement delayed a solid opening SUNYAC weekend for the Blue Devils, though. Mat Hehr scored the lone goal and Mark Friesen made 25 saves as Fredonia defeated Brockport, 1-0 on Saturday at the Steele Hall Ice Arena.

Hehr chipped the puck ahead to himself, raced up the right side, and scored on a quick wrist shot from inside the right circle at 7:15 of the first period. It was his third goal of the season. Chad Bennett was credited with an assist. Friesen was called on to make several sprawling saves shortly after the Hehr goal. From that point on, he and Brockport's Jared Lockhurst matched zeroes — with the Blue Devils improving to 2-2 overall and 1-1 in the conference. Lockhurst

Bonnies Receiving Votes In Preseason ESPN/USA Today Poll Contributed Article
St. Bonaventure Sports Information
ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. — For the first time in program history, the St. Bonaventure women's basketball team is receiving votes in the preseason ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll. The Bonnies begin the season with the 37th most points of any team in the land with six. The Bonnies ran through 2011-12 schedule to a 31-4 record and a berth into the
Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Tournament. SBU finished last season at No. 21 in the Associated Press Poll, No. 23 in the Coaches Poll and were positioned as high as No. 16 in the nation during the week of March 5. The Bonnies won the Atlantic 10 regular season title by running the table to a perfect 14-0 mark. They would advance to the championship game of the Atlantic 10 Tournament before being selected as a 5-seed in the Raleigh Region of the

Head coach Jim Crowley, the reigning A-10 Coach of the Year and ESPN.com National Coach of the Year, brings in a class of six freshmen to go with his returning core. Senior guard Alaina Walker was recently named to the Preseason A-10 All-Defensive Team. She was named to

r Super Teams To Pay Off For NBA
Chris Winkler COMMENTARY
I’ll admit I’m probably in the minority here. For me, the NBA has always been a bigger draw for me versus the NHL. But with the amount of steam the league has picked up over the recent years, combined with this lockout you may have heard about for the NHL, we are heading into perhaps the most anticipated season in NBA history. How’s that for a perfect storm, Sandy? Sure, for some of you, it’s probably your least favorite sport. I think the NBA’s popularity mostly rides with adult men aged 35-andunder. Most adult moderate basketball fans such as my dad will watch just as many NHL games this season as NBA games. He, like others in his age bracket, probably prefers the college game but largely ignores the NBA. In all, I’ve rarely come across a male over the age of 40 that truly loves the NBA. But the interesting thing for me has been the growing popularity of the league amongst my group of friends and my age group. And for me, who has completely worshipped college basketball since I learned how to walk, I have slowly gravitated toward the pro game. Not completely, but the 2012-13 version of the NBA is indeed a perfect storm ready to break ratings records the NBA probably never thought was possible. Factor No. 1 would be the creation of super teams. Five years ago the Boston Celtics, mired in a four-year stretch without a postseason series victory, changed the league forever. They traded just about every single player on their roster (except Paul Pierce) to acquire Ray Allen from Seattle and Kevin Garnett from Minnesota. Some argued the “Big Three” wouldn’t be able to gel; they wouldn’t have enough basketballs to go around. With three go-to scorers on the roster, the Celtics thrived as all three took significant less shots, raced efficiency ratings and won the NBA title over the Lakers, renewing the best rivalry in sports. Of course, the Miami Heat followed suit two years ago by adding LeBron James and Chris Bosh to join Dwyane Wade. The Heat won a title within two years. The Oklahoma City Thunder did the same but did so through the draft. They assembled Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and James Harden, only to deal Harden this past week. Others like the Clippers and Knicks have tried by getting two-thirds of the way there, while surrounding the rest of eam the team with veterans. Now, the Lakers joined the will party by dealing for the aign leagues best center, Dwight will Howard and signing premier he point guard, Steve Nash. Howard and Nash join this guy named Kobe Bryant a- and undervalued Pau Gasol day putting together a new “Big on Four” — sorry Ron Artest. o. But as much as you hate it — and why shouldn’t illy you? — the league has huge on storylines in huge cities with rivalries gaining more steam than a LeBron-led fast break.
Opening night is a perfect example in an extreme nutshell with Miami hosting Boston. Rematch of last year’s championship, the two teams that reinvented the Big Three. And oh yeah, it’s Allen’s first game as a member of Miami since choosing the Heat over the Celtics in free agency. The Lakers and Mavericks are the nightcap. Dallas, in case you forgot, won the title two years ago. They’ve re-tooled a little bit, but are always a threat with Dirk Nowitzki. And you knew the new-look Lakers weren’t going to be left out of these festivities. Besides, it always has been and always will be a stardriven league. Now, most of those players just happen to be on the same teams. Factor No. 2 has been a whirlwind summer that kept the NBA in the headlines seemingly every week. The Dwight Howard mega-trade was huge, but so were several other small happenings. The league loves that the Nets moved to Brooklyn, while also becoming relevant on the court, to take on a Knicks team potentially capable of big things — even if I don’t see it. On the other side of the country, they love that the Clippers are relevant and can battle the Lakers for a division title. And with all of the star-studded teams in big cities, forged together by money, they also love that they have a small market team full of young stars in Oklahoma City. Nobody can tell the league only big cities can win even if the Thunder are an anomaly. And lastly, the third factor is the lockouts. Don’t let anyone tell you the NHL lockout won’t help the NBA, because it does. No, hockey fans won’t all of a sudden trade in their skates for a pair of Jordan’s, but television dollars drive this sport. And television exposure will naturally only go up across the country without the NHL. No kidding, the NHL doesn’t have a great TV contract, but local sports bars across the country will be showing a lot more NBA this year. Some may even order the NBA TV package, League Pass, if they hadn’t done so before. But, most importantly, the NBA will continue to dominate headlines all winter long. While the NHL is staring down the barrel of another lost season, the NBA can laugh at the notion they would lose support from last year’s lockout. All told, a shortened 2011-12 season built even more momentum for this season. None of this, of course, fixes the NBA’s obvious flaws. There is no question that 82 games are too much. The bad rep the sport gets for lackluster games in December and January are deserved. More so, league parity will almost be at an all-time low. There are at least 10 teams that have no chance to do anything this year and face tremendously low odds to make the playoffs. The final four will almost assuredly include Miami and Los Angeles (Lakers), while the other two spots are probably only between a handful of teams. But, something tells me people will tune in to watch Kobe and LeBron face-off for a championship a whole lot more than something like the Sixers against the Nuggets. That’s just life in the NBA and David Stern finally has it where he’s always wanted it.

Bona Student-Athletes Continue To Graduate Ahead Of Their Peers
Contributed Article
St. Bonaventure Sports Information
ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. — St. Bonaventure University student-athletes continue to graduate at a rate well above their peers, according to statistical information released Thursday by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). The NCAA’s annual study of institutions nationwide revealed that St. Bonaventure student-athletes entering school in the 2005-06 academic year earned a Graduation Success Rate (GSR) of 88 percent. In comparison, the average for the last four graduating classes at all Division I institutions remained at 80 percent, an all-time high. Over the last year five years, St. Bonaventure’s combined graduation rates have been 86 percent or higher. Last year’s rate also came in at 88 percent. Twelve of St. Bonaventure’s 14 Division I teams achieved
a GSR rate of 88 percent or higher for their incoming 2005-06 student-athletes. Five of those teams — men’s golf, men’s and women’s tennis and men’s and women’s cross country — earned rates of 100 percent. Women’s swimming (96 percent), women’s soccer (94 percent), baseball (92 percent), softball (91 percent), lacrosse (91 percent), women’s basketball (90 percent) and men’s soccer (88 percent) all achieved rates of 88 percent or better. Men’s swimming (73 percent) and men’s basketball (61 percent) rounded out the 14 sports. In addition to releasing each institution’s Graduation Success Rate, the NCAA also released Federal Graduation Rates for all students and student-athletes on Thursday. For those student-athletes entering St. Bonaventure in 2005-06, the federal graduation rate was 74 percent, while the four-year average graduation rate for student-athletes was 72 percent. In comparison, the 2005-06 rate for all
students at St. Bonaventure was 63 percent and the fouryear average was 67 percent. Both the NCAA GSR and Federal Graduation Rates include only student-athletes who receive athletics aid. Both calculations also allow students six years to graduate. For that reason, the most recent data is based on the entering class of 2005-06. The GSR is considered to be the more exact calculation of the two because it includes both entering freshmen and in-bound transfers receiving athletic aid, and does not include out-bound transfers under the condition that they are academically eligible when they transfer out. The federal rate, on the other hand, counts all out-bound transfers as failing to graduate, regardless of their academic standing or reason for leaving the institution. Additionally, the federal rate does not count in-bound transfers in calculations. The differences in methodology account for the lower reported federal gradua-
tion rates. In addition to their perfect GSR rates, St. Bonaventure’s men’s golf and men’s tennis teams also earned 100 percent federal graduation rates. Women’s swimming (85 percent), women’s soccer (83 percent) and lacrosse (81 percent) also garnered federal rates better than 80 percent. Women’s basketball received a 57 percent, while men’s basketball recorded a 33 percent; however, it is important to note the methodology and the time frame as the data dates back to the 2005-06 freshman class. Since then, a coaching change on the men’s side has taken place, and both the men’s and women’s teams have seen drastic improvements both academically and athletically. The 16 members of Atlantic 10 collectively ranked second among all 31 Division I conferences nationwide with a GSR of 90 percent. The conference improved one spot over its 2011 ranking of third.

Giants Claim World Series Small-Market Reality Hits By Sweeping Tigers Thunder With Harden Deal
The Beard is on it's way to Houston. A year after winning the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year, and just a few days before the season started, Oklahoma City dealt James Harden to Houston. (AP Photo)
By Jeff Latzke Associated Press
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The first big dose of smallmarket reality has hit the Oklahoma City Thunder. Before the Thunder even played their first real game following a trip to the NBA finals, the franchise parted ways with Sixth Man of the Year James Harden in a trade with the Houston Rockets, fracturing the team's core and substantially changing the second unit. ''We made several efforts to try to make this work,'' general manager Sam Presti said at a news conference Sunday. ''I think there's a point in every negotiation where you start to realize where things are lining up, and at that point you have to play the hand that you're dealt. I feel like as an organization, we've made some tough decisions. This one was right up there with them.'' Presti said the Thunder made what was supposed to be a final offer on Friday, then approached him one last time before pulling off the trade Saturday night - making sure that Harden realized he could be dealt if he didn't accept. But Harden, who developed into one of the league's most dynamic shooting guards after being the No. 3 pick in the 2009 draft, still wanted more. Oklahoma City already had All-Stars Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook plus NBA blocks leader Serge Ibaka inked to long-term, eightfigure deals and — even with an arena upgraded by taxpayer funds that's sold out for every game — wasn't willing to offer him a maximum contract. Presti said the Thunder made an ''extraordinary effort'' to keep Harden and side-stepped whether the team tried to lowball Harden.
''That's for other people to determine, I suppose, and ultimately we'll live with that. We understand what we were able to do, and what we did, and the significance and the importance it made, especially considering the commitments that it would have taken our payroll to,'' Presti said. ''Our ownership group was absolutely behind that effort.'' Harden said Sunday he expects to sign a long-term deal with Houston before the regular season starts. He was saying the same thing about Oklahoma City when training camp began. Durant, Westbrook and Ibaka all took marginally less than they could have demanded on the open market to stay in Oklahoma City but Presti suggested ''the term sacrifice gets thrown around maybe too loosely.'' He said the Thunder didn't begrudge Harden for rejecting their offers. ''We're not going to judge anybody. We're not going to put anything on anybody,'' Presti said. ''We're going to do the best thing for the franchise. In a lot of cases, in most cases, the players are going to do the best things for them. You hope that those things overlap, and we've been very fortunate they have overlapped in a lot of cases.'' The Thunder simply aren't in a position to spend like the Miami Heat, who went over the cap to add Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis after beating Oklahoma City in the finals, or the Los Angeles Lakers, who added All-Stars Steve Nash and Dwight Howard to a lineup that already featured Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol. ''I think we all know that James Harden was a big part of their team. That goes without saying. He was a big part of why they made it to the fiContinued on pg 11

Division race, Port Huron (11-7-0) slipped into a first place tie with the Ironmen after Friday’s win, yet it wouldn’t stay that way for long, as Jamestown answered on Saturday. “We had a lot of good scoring opportunities Friday night, but didn’t bury them. We got away from what we have been doing these past few weeks to win,” explained Ironmen Head Coach, Dan Daikawa. “We got back to the game plan and executed, playing a much better game on Saturday.” Saturday night’s contest was a very different story as Jamestown jumped out to an early lead and never looked back. The Ironmen scored three first period goals, coming from Urso, Gerdes and Sekesi. Elliot Tisdale tacked on another score in the second period and the Ironmen went on to win, 4-1. Mimmack was excellent between the pipes for the Ironmen, nearly earning his second shutout of the season,

NAHL Announces Divisional Stars Of The Week 17 saves in a 3-2 win to move his record to a perfect 3-0-0 since rejoining the team. “Goaltending is always a key position and anytime you can have a veteran like Aaron back in the line-up, it is a huge lift,” said Bobcats head coach Layne Sedevie. “I thought Aaron played with a lot of confidence this weekend and we feel really good about the 1-2 goaltending tandem we have with him and Bryan Nies.” 2nd Star: Brandon Wahlin, forward, Austin Bruins Honorable Mention (alphabetical): Adam Knochenmus, forward, Bismarck Bobcats – Jake O’Borsky, forward, Minot Minotauros – Tyler Parks, goaltender Minot Minotauros.
North Division Star of the Week: Mike Fazio, forward, Springfield Jr. Blues
Springfield forward Mike Fazio, 20, had a big weekend as the Jr. Blues swept the Janesville Jets in Springfield to move up the North standings and creep closer to the .500 mark. On Friday, Fazio (5’11/203) had two assists, including one on the gamewinning goal, as the Jr. Blues beat the Jets, 5-3. On Saturday, the native
of Bartlett, Illinois, chimed in on all three of Springfield’s goals, which included two goals (including the game-winner) and an assist in a 3-1 win. Fazio is second on the team in points this season with 12 in 16 games played. “Mike’s strength is being a two-way player and benefitting from being that type of player,” said Jr. Blues head coach Tony Zasowski. “He brings so much more to the table, so it was nice to see him produce on offense like he did.” 2nd Star: Tyler Marble, goaltender, Soo Eagles Honorable Mention (alphabetical): Nick Horne, forward, Port Huron Fighting Falcons – James McGing, forward, Springfield Jr. Blues – Max Milosek, goaltender, Port Huron Fighting Falcons – Robbie Payne, forward, Kalamazoo Jr. K-Wings – Brandon Reinholz, forward, Johnstown Tomahawks – Huba Sekesi, forward, Jamestown Ironmen – Cody Von Rueden, defenseman, Soo Eagles.
South Division Star of the Week: Paul Berrafato, goaltender, Amarillo Bulls
Amarillo goaltender Paul Berrafato, 19, is the No. 1-ranked goaltender
in the NAHL thanks in large part to performances like he turned in this past weekend as the Bulls produced a home sweep of the Texas Tornado. Berrafato (6’0/180) is tops in the NAHL with a 1.14 goals against average and is second in save percentage (94.1%). This weekend, he helped his cause by stopping a combined 46 of 48 shots. On Friday, he made 16 saves in a 7-2 win. On Saturday, he posted his first NAHL shutout with a 30-save performance in a 4-0 win. The native of Buffalo, New York has yet to lose a game in regulation this season. “Paul had a very solid weekend. He battles hard and doesn’t give up easy goals,” said Bulls head coach Dennis Williams. “When you have him back there making the saves he does, the guys around him play better as a result they can play loose and freewheel it a little bit more.” 2nd Star: Trace Strahle, defenseman, Topeka RoadRunners Honorable Mention (alphabetical): Lawrence Cornellier, forward, Odessa Jackalopes – Sean Gaffney, forward, Topeka RoadRunners – Hampus Gustafsson, forward, Amarillo Bulls – AJ Jarosz, forward, Corpus Christi IceRays – Hayden Stewart, goalten-

A night later, Kohls (6’3/197) assisted on the game-winning goal in a 5-2 win over Wichita Falls. For the season, Kohls is second on the team with 19 points in 16 games played, and three of his eight goals to date have been game-winning goals. “Lucas is a very gifted player and has a lot of offensive upside. He can score many number of ways,” said Brown Bears head coach Oliver David. “He has been a great addition to the team. He is great in the community and the fans really like him.” 2nd Star: Jake Davidson, defenseman, Kenai River Brown Bears Honorable Mention (alphabetical): Devin Loe, forward, Fairbanks Ice Dogs.

2012 CHASE CONTENDERS Chase Chart Following the Tums Fast Relief 500 at Martinsville Speedway
1. Jimmie Johnson 2,291 (finished first) The five-time champion turned up the heat at one of his best tracks and took the points lead. “In order to be the champion, the tracks you know you can win at, you have to win at,” he said. “We did that.” 2. Brad Keselowski -2 (finished sixth) Although he lost the points lead, he recovered from a poor, 32nd-place qualifying effort to remain in good shape, points-wise. In that respect, it was almost like a win. “This championship is going to come down to Homestead [the season finale],” he said. “We have to do what we need to do to be in contention at Homestead.” 3. Clint Bowyer -26 (finished fifth) Another solid finish keeps him in the race for the championship with three races to go. 4. Kasey Kahne -29 (finished third) Like Bowyer, he’s close enough to the leaders to be considered a legitimate title contender, especially if Keselowski and Johnson have trouble over the final three races. “We definitely still have a shot, but we’re a ways out,” he said. “I wish we were within 20 or 15 [points]. I think we’d be a lot more legit at that point.” 5. Denny Hamlin -49 (finished 33rd) He overcame two penalties for speeding on pit road, but an electrical issue sent him to the garage and likely took him out of the running for the championship. “One of these days it’s going to be our time,” he said. “It’s just not right now.”

The house that Jack built Legendary team owner Roush marks 3,000th Cup start
W
hen the green flag dropped on Sunday at Martinsville Speedway, veteran team owner Jack Roush saw one of his cars start a Sprint Cup race for the 3,000th time. Since his first start in the 1988 Daytona 500, Roush has won 130 Cup races and two championships, but his first start gave little indication of the future success, as he pointed out to reporters at Martinsville. After fielding numerous entries in road racing, Roush made his first Cup race with Mark Martin driving his No. 6 Ford, and Robin Pemberton, now NASCAR’s vice president for competition and racing development, as the crew chief. At that time, Roush was a NASCAR outsider, literally and figuratively. “We didn’t have a garage to start with, and then they finally gave us one down at the very end when somebody who had more standing didn’t come,” he said. “We’ve climbed the ladder.” In that first start, Roush’s Ford dropped out after 19 laps because of an overheating engine, long before Bobby Allison beat his son Davey to the checkered flag in one of the more memorable Daytona 500 finishes of all time. Throughout their first season together, Roush and Martin did provide glimpses of
their future success, but they were few and far between. They got their first top-10 finish with a sixth-place run at Darlington in the fifth race of the season and their first top-five was a runner-up at Bristol the next race. But their average finish was 19.1, and they did not finish 10 races. Even for most of the 1989, that first win continued to elude them. “I wasn’t sure we were going to win in the second year until the fall race at Rockingham when Mark won,” Roush said. “The sponsors I had were teetering, but that win gave them the green to go forward with us another year. All of the sponsors I had to start with were one-year programs, so that cemented a relationship with Folgers, and then Valvoline quickly wanted in, so we were on our way.” In 1990, Martin won three races, the first year for multiple wins for Roush, and in 1992, Roush fielded multiple entries for the first time, with Wally Dallenbach Jr. joining the team to drive the No. 16 Ford. Now, the team fields cars for Greg Biffle, Carl Edwards, Matt Kenseth and occasionally Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and is a regular contender for victory. Roush also has 131 wins in the Nationwide Series and 50 more in the
Camping World Truck Series. “Little by little we gained the experience, and I had enough good people around to make the important judgments that led us to becoming a viable multiple-car team,” Roush said. “It was really a blessing for the total number of victories we’ve got. If you include our road racing wins and other NASCAR series, we’re at about 450 victories now, so running the trucks, Nationwide and Cup – all three – and having the success we’ve had has done a lot to bolster our confidence to help us cement, bring along sponsors, and form the basis for the success we’ve had.” And it’s been a success not only as far as trophies are concerned, but on the business side, too. In addition to preparing cars for his own team, Roush provided cars and technology to other teams including Richard Petty Motorsports and Wood Brothers Racing. “We’ve had to look at a series, look at a race car and the rules, and then consider the opportunity to make a viable business out of it by selling the technology and selling the success to other people who would like to bask in it,” he said. “So the fact we’ve been able to survive for 25 years in Cup racing is more important to me than 300 wins.”

7. Martin Truex Jr. -63 (finished 23rd) A week after posting his best Chase-race finish, a second at Kansas, he had his worst at Martinsville. His Kansas finish is his only top-five in the Chase. 8. Matt Kenseth -65 (finished 14th) He finished OK at a track that’s not one of his best, but he still can’t overcome his early Chase woes despite two Chase-race victories. 9. Greg Biffle -69 (finished 10th) Like Kenseth, he’s struggled at Martinsville over the years, but was heartened by his performance on Sunday. “We’re not quite there, but I think we’re definitely gaining on it,” he said. 10. Tony Stewart -71 (finished 27th) The defending Cup champion hasn’t shown the speed he usually does late in the season. He has just one top-five finish in the Chase, a fifth at Kansas, and has finished 13th or worse in four of the past five races. 11. Kevin Harvick -88 (finished 32nd) A blown engine left him with his worst finish in the Chase, but the good ones haven’t been that great either, with no top 10s in the Chase. “Just hasn’t been a great year,” he said. “If it isn’t one thing, it’s another.” 12. Dale Earnhardt Jr. -140 (finished 21st) Although the two races he missed because of concussions knocked him out of the championship, he ran strong in his comeback, only to be spun in the closing stages. “We didn’t have a really good car and fought some issues all day long,” he said. “Just made some poor choices at the end that got us run over.”
ignore it to stay in the car because I did the same thing in the past … “Some concussions are really bad, and I don’t care how tough you think you are, and your mind is not working the way it is supposed to, it scares the [expletive] out of you. “You are not going to think about race cars. You aren’t going to think about trophies. You are not going to think about your job. You’re going to be thinking about what do I got to do to get my brain working the way it was before. That’s going to jump right to the top of the priority list, I promise you.” Earnhardt showed no signs of his injury at Martinsville, where he raced among the leaders until a late-race shuffle dropped him to 21st at the finish.
Martinsville rattles Truck Series In both the Sprint Cup and Camping World Truck Series, the late-season races at Talladega Superspeedway and Martinsville Speedway are regarded as championships “wild cards” because of the possibility of wrecks that can shuffle the standings. So it wasn’t too surprising when Ty Dillon, the points leader by one marker entering the Kroger 200 at Martinsville, blew a tire and hit the wall with 50 laps to go, leaving him with a 28th-place finish and dropping him to second in the standings, 21 points behind James Buescher. The new points leader had problems of his own early in the race, falling a lap down, but he bounced back to finish sixth. “Everybody thought Talladega would be the big shakeup race,” Buescher told reporters after the race. “I was more worried about Talladega than I was this one, but I guess I was wrong.” Dillon said he isn’t giving up, even with just three races left to run. “We’ll keep digging in Texas next weekend and make up some ground,” he said. Timothy Peters, who started on the pole at Martinsville and finished seventh, remains in the title hunt as he’s 25 points out of the lead. Peters’ Red Horse Racing teammate Parker Kligerman, who finished ninth at Martinsville, is fourth in the standings, 36 back. Denny Hamlin won the Kroger 200.
6. Jeff Gordon -54 (finished seventh) He had one of the fastest cars at Martinsville but got shuffled back at the end.“The last thing we wanted was to be on the outside on those last two restarts, and we were and it cost us,” he said.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. (NASCAR photo) learned a lot during the two weeks he was out of his No. 88 Chevrolet because of concussions suffered in a crash during testing at Kansas and in a wreck in a race at Talladega. “I’ve learned a ton, just about what I’ve gone through,” he said. “I feel like I’m a lot smarter, a lot more prepared, and understand the situation a lot better now than I did beforehand … “It’s been a good experience. It’s something I’d rather not have gone through; I learned a lot from it.” He said that because of his recent experience, he’ll be quicker to seek medical help in the future if he believes he’s had a concussion. “It changes the way I feel about it to where if I know I’ve suffered another concussion, or if I have symptoms after an accident, I’m definitely going to be a lot more responsible about it,” he said. “I can understand people’s opinions that they would try to push through it, or they would
Aric Almirola: ‘We can do this’ For the second straight week, Aric Almirola had a strong run in the No. 43 Ford for Richard Petty Motorsports. A week after qualifying fifth and leading 69 laps at Kansas Speedway before a crash took him out, he finished a season-best fourth at Martinsville Speedway. His Martinsville finish tied his career-best Cup finish from Homestead-Miami Speedway in 2010. He gave his crew chief much of the credit for his strong performances of the past two weeks. “This just goes to prove that we can do this,” Almirola said. “Five weeks ago they switched crew chiefs and gave me Todd Parrott and from that point forward I’ve been having the most fun I’ve ever had at a race track. “We’ve been running so good. [At Martinsville] we made chicken salad out of you know what, and that’s the kind of stuff that Todd Parrott can do and all these guys on his team.”

St. Bonaventure Sports Information
Fredonia State Sports Information
ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. — Playing with 10 players for the entire second half, the St. Bonaventure women's soccer team overcame a halftime deficit and controlled the final 45 minutes to post a thrilling 2-1 victory over Rhode Island on rainy, cold Sunday afternoon on a muddy McGraw-Jennings pitch to clinch its fifth straight Atlantic 10 Championship appearance. The Bonnies entered the game knowing that they controlled their own destiny and a win would clinch a postseason berth. Bonaventure will meet 4th-seeded Butler in the second game of the day on Thursday at 1:30 p.m. The championship is scheduled to be played at URI's Soccer Complex Thursday, Nov. 1-Sunday, Nov. 4. In a fitting ending, redshirt senior Shannon Van Riper headed home the game-winning goal in the 77th minute to send the Massachusetts native to her, and SBU's, fifth straight A-10 Championship. Following a Rhode Island foul just outside the 18-yard box, Brittany Charles delivered a perfect set-piece ball into the box, where Van Riper — the tallest player on the field at 5-11 — used that height advantage to tuck her
PORTLAND, N.Y. — The Fredonia State men were fifth while the women were sixth at the SUNYAC Cross Country championships Saturday at Lake Erie State Park. Pete Francia was the top individual finisher for the Blue Devils — 18th in the men's 8,000-meter race. His time in the rain and mud was 27:21.59.

team-leading fifth goal of the campaign just inside the left side of the net. Rhode Island — which is scheduled to host the A-10 Championship — entered the contest tied with the Bonnies for 6th place in the A-10 with 12 points, and knew that a win would likewise solidify a postseason trip. The Rams took the first step toward that mission with a Chelsea Gates goal in the 32nd minute. The goal was not only Gates first of the season, but it was her first shot on goal this year. Things got more difficult for the Brown and White when sophomore Caitlin MacConnell picked up a red card in the 44th minute — just two minutes after picking up a yellow card — forcing the Bonnies to play with 10 the
remainder of the contest. Despite that, Bona controlled the game's final 45 minutes and eventually were able to tie the match in the 61st minute on Molly Curry's fourth goal of the season. URI goalkeeper Chelse Broghamer failed to elevate her goal kick enough on the sloppy field to get over the body of Brittany Charles, who blocked the ball just outside the 18-yard box. The ball deflected back into the middle of the box for Curry, who beat Broghamer to her right. "To watch how hard our players played in the second half … I don't think I've ever been more impressed with a team that I've coached," head coach Manoj Khettry said. "In terms of effort, heart and character, that was fantastic."
The Bonnies out-shot Rhody 13-3 in the second half and finished with a 21-6 shot advantage for the game. Included in that total were three crossbars that SBU hit and two posts. St. Bonaventure honored its five seniors — Van Riper, Maureen Madden, Nicole Rosso, Jennifer Andrews and Katie Kerkman — and one manager — Kelley Burke — prior to the contest. Andrews started the game in net, but was replaced by Kerkman after 26 minutes of action. Andrews made one save while in the game, and Kerkman stopped two en route to her fifth victory of the season. More information on the A-10 Championship bracket and schedule will be available later on Sunday on GoBonnies.com.

Clymer Returns To Ralph Hoping To Erase Last Year’s Loss By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor
Getting an opportunity to play at an NFL stadium for any high school football player is a once in a lifetime experience. Come Saturday morning (10 a.m.), it will be the second time for the Clymer football team in as many years. “We’re a DD school that graduates about 30 kids a year,” head coach Dave Bodamer said. “We’re so lucky to be able to have to the opportunity to be going to an NFL stadium two years in a row.” Clymer heads to One Bills Drive to take on Ellicottville/West Valley, but does so with their eyes set on something much bigger. A year ago, the Pirates lost the Class DD Championship to Chautauqua Lake 14-0 after battling the heavily favored Thunderbirds all game long before finally falling. Bodamer says that game hasn’t left his team’s mind ever since the final whistle. “It’s something we talked about all year,” he said. “A lot of our guys are three-sport athletes but they’ve never had anything like this. It’s something we talked about from the time it was over, to summer workouts, to today. “They know they missed out on the opportunity for the full trip last year and it’s been a driving motivation for us.” Last year, Clymer may have lost to the better team in Chautauqua Lake, who went 9-0 and breezed through the league all year long. While Clymer played them tough in the final, they’re likely in for a better game this year against Ellicottville.

They beat the Eagles back in Week 2, 20-13 in overtime, a game that sparked their season and a 7-game winning streak. “Coming back to win that game was a big part of our turnaround this year,” Bodamer said. “That first half did not go well at all for us and we had direct conversations telling them how it would determine the next few weeks for us and it did. We really started to do the little things better after that.” Clymer trailed 14-0 before scoring two late touchdowns in the fourth quarter to force overtime. They won it on a Jake Wiggers touchdown run. It was a game after Clymer lost 32-0 in their opener to Sherman and allowed the Pirates to avoid an 0-2 start. But, that was a long time ago. “We know it’s a driving force for their kids to get another crack at
us and to do it at the stadium,” Bodamer said. “They’re an excellent football team and are certainly much better since that game two months ago.” Ellicottville’s done most of their damage on the ground, led by Phalla Musall, a diminutive junior running back. Musall is already over the 1,000-yard mark and has really been in a groove lately. Since losing to St. Mary’s in Week 4, Ellicottville is 4-0 and has outscored opponents 133-37. Musall has been a key part to that, including a 238-yard day against Franklinville that clinched the top seed for the Eagles. “No doubt about it, they earned the top spot,” Bodamer said. “The tiebreaker is what it is, but even though we beat them, that game could have gone either way.” The big thing for Clymer this week, Bodamer said, is to not give up the
big play. Musall’s speed is dangerous, but he’s not the only weapon. Quarterback Cam Wilson has been a dual-threat as well. “They run the ball extremely well,” Bodamer said. “They’re a big-play offense. We’re telling our guys that if they’re going to score, make them drive on us.” As is the case in all of high school football, but more so with the smaller schools, running game is king. Thus, winning the line of scrimmage might be the determining factor of this game. “If you can control the line of scrimmage, you can win,” Bodamer said. “But we have to win the turnover battle. It’s something we didn’t do last year against Chautauqua Lake and it hurt us.” Good news for Clymer, is they have one of the best lineman in Section VI — let alone Class DD — in se-
nior Dan Lictus. Lictus hurt a knee in the preseason and struggled to get back to 100 percent until Week 3 or 4. Since he’s been at his best, the Pirates have been at their best. “To be honest, part of the turnaround has been simply having him back,” Bodamer said. “He’s 6-feet-3, 285 pounds, not many teams have anything close to that here. But most importantly, he’s the leader of this team. They like seeing him out there and playing next to him.” He’ll be clearing the way for junior running back Jake Wiggers, who has been a nice surprise for Bodamer and his staff. “We weren’t sure if we could run between the tackles with Jake, but he’s proved we can,” Bodamer said. “His breakout game was Panama and he’s shown the ability that when he’s getting tackled, he’s falling forward.” With the four-team playoff system in Class DD, though, Clymer and Ellicottville had to have the week off last week after winning their semifinal game two weeks ago. Keeping focused on a game two weeks away wasn’t easy and it got more difficult with cancellations at school because of the wrath of Sandy. But, their voluntary workouts have showed just how hungry this team is. “I got permission to for a voluntary workout Tuesday and we got great turnout considering all of the hassles that went along with it,” he said. “We were able to run a practice and it just shows you how much our whole team is looking forward to playing in the stadium. “We’re expecting a really good game against a good team and that’s why you compete.”
ONE STEP CLOSER TO REACHING TEAM GOAL continued from pg 1 the last two years and the second year in a row with these two teams meeting at this stage. Implementing new schemes at this point can be tough. “Your identity is what it is by now,” Langworthy said. “You want to do what you’ve done, but you do want to give the kids the opportunity to be able to make plays and that’s why you can throw in a few new wrinkles.” Finding new ways to score wouldn’t appear to be too difficult for Jamestown, though. Hollingsworth has been a consistent force while Sisson has led perhaps the most balanced passing attack in Western New York. He’s used multiple weapons including sophomores Stephen Carlson
and Zach Panebianco, and seniors Mike Watson and Conner Anderson. Then there’s fullback/lineman Cortland Haines who Langworthy has begun to use in short-yardage situations. “With the spread offense, it can be difficult to move when you’re in tight because there’s just less room to spread the defense out,” Langworthy said. “It (Haines as a back) is something we looked at because he had experience running the ball and right now its something we like.” And that should help Jamestown’s red zone offense, which has been a bit of a hassle for Langworthy. While the Red Raiders haven’t had much problem moving the ball, they’ve had problems

finishing off drives. “When we have an opportunity to score in the red zone, we’re going to have to do it,” Langworthy said.

trip to Ralph Wilson Stadium, which may have been the case last year. “We’re excited, we’re pumped,” Langworthy said. “We worked so hard for this and now we’re there. And the kids deserve it and they deserve to be excited, but now it’s about executing.” And with so many factors leading into this game, motivation, Langworthy said, might be the team’s biggest X-factor heading into Saturday. “Our passion for playing this game will be huge,” he said. “The level of enthusiasm we’ve shown has been great and I’m confident they’ll bring that to the stadium Saturday.”

They were able to key in on Mitchell Wilson while top receiving threat Austin Goltz was somewhat neutralized. But, Holmes has been in the lineup and doing just fine since the injury. “Ben Holmes is fantastic, no doubt about it,” Langworthy said. “But they have tons of weapons and a bunch of different guys that can hurt you. They have a big line up front and usually can do what they want to do.” As usual, Langworthy mentioned how important it will be for his team to get off to a good start. Last year, Jamestown trailed 10-3 at halftime and kept Orchard Park at bay until late in the game before losing 30-10. But, Jamestown won’t just be happy with a

able to get a whole lot going in recent weeks, which is certainly on Ball’s mind. While the defense has been good enough to win both playoff games, the offense managed just four touchdowns. In addition, they’ve averaged just two touchdowns per game for the last five weeks now. Part of that has been because of not having Buckley, but Fredonia might have to improve its passing game if they want to keep playing. “Any high school football team, you have to be able to run the ball,” Ball said. “But you have to be able to throw effectively when teams start to pile guys up at the line. Depending what the defense tries to take away from you, you have to be able to do the other thing.” Junior quarterback Weston Ley has done a great job on the ground, but the passing game has gone by the wayside in the playoffs. It should be noted that each of the last two games had tough passing conditions. Still, as Ball conceded, Fredonia’s passing game isn’t as good as it has been in recent years. If the last two weeks are any indication, though, it might
not have to be. Their defense is more than capable of winning this game. Stopping Brandon Thomas will be priority No. 1. “He’s definitely a fast kid, already reached 1,000 yards,” Ball said. “We can’t let him reach the edge and get into open space. We have to keep them from making big plays because I don’t think they can go 12, 13, or 14 play-drives on our defense.” The good news for Fredonia is its speed on speed. “Any time you can match a team’s strength, you have a chance to win,” Ball said. “Our speed allows us to match up with them, their strength. But we still have to go out and execute.” Win or lose Saturday, it’s been a rewarding year for Fredonia. For the second time in three years and third time in five years, the Hillbillies are playing at Ralph Wilson Stadium. They beat Southwestern in 2010 and lost to Lackawanna in 2008. “It’s so exciting to be able to play on a stage like this,” Ball said. “I’ve told the kids to enjoy the week because they’ve deserved it.”

blockers. He added that the injury was also limiting his ability to lift weights and maintain his upper body strength, something he also relies upon as a pass-rusher. ''I'm a hands-on person, and everything I do is with my hands and working out,'' he
said. ''And not being able to do that, mentally, has just been frustrating.'' Selected first overall by Houston in the 2006 draft, Williams had 53 career sacks in six seasons to set the Texans franchise record. Three days into free agency in March, signed a six-year, $100 million
contract with Buffalo. A two-time Pro Bowl selection, Williams has managed just 3 1/2 sacks and become the target of much of the blame for the Bills' defensive woes this season. Buffalo ranks 31st in the NFL in yards allowed and last against the run. That includes a fourgame stretch in which the Bills have gone 1-3 and allowed 937 yards rushing. Following a 35-34 loss to Tennessee on Oct. 21, veteran defensive end Chris Kelsay went public with his frustrations by questioning his teammates for taking plays off. Williams acknowledged he's played below his own expectations. ''The biggest thing for me is that I know there's definitely a lot more pays that I have to get done,'' Williams said. ''I feel great about the possibility of finally being able to get to do things I didn't do from the very beginning of the season. And I look forward to it.'' Kelsay was encouraged to hear Williams was feeling better. ''It'll be great for us. He's a heck of a player,'' Kelsay said. ''It's good that he was able to take advantage of the bye and get healthy. So we're all looking forward to that.''

Stadium in Orchard Park. The Bills are in negotiations with state and county officials to renew their lease, which expires in July. There's a potential the parties will have to reach a one-year lease extension after talks stalled this summer. The biggest obstacle in negotiations is determining how to divide up the costs for $200 million in renovations and upgrades the Bills are seeking to have done to the 39-yearold facility. ''We continue to meet with county and state officials and have had productive sessions,'' Bills CEO Russ Brandon said, referring to lease talks. As for the new stadium proposal, Brandon said: ''We're aware of it, but have no involvement.''

GBSEC vice president George Hasiotis said current lease talks shouldn't affect the proposal, because a new stadium would take five or six years to build. By that time, the Bills would have the option to move into the new facility. Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown favors the Bills returning to Buffalo, where they played for the first 13 seasons. But he stressed the first priority is having the team negotiate a new long-term lease at Ralph Wilson Stadium. Brown has made a formal request to obtain the parcel of land from the transportation authority, but said it's not specifically for a stadium project. He called Stracick's proposal as still being in the early stages of development. From nearby Derby, N.Y., Stracick is a former major league umpire who enjoyed a considerable windfall in 2002 after he and a business partner successfully sued Walt Disney Co. for stealing their idea for its Wide World of Sports Complex at Walt Disney World. A jury awarded Stracick and his partner $240 million, but the two later reached an undisclosed settlement with Disney.

presentation was tabled by the committee, and it's unclear when it will be discussed at a full council meeting. Stracick says he's already lined up a group of investors, and projects the complex — which would also include a hotel, convention center and sports museum — would be mostly privately funded, with about 30 percent of the cost picked up by taxpayers. It didn't matter to Stracick that his proposal runs counter to the Bills' immediate plans. ''The Bills will move in once the thing is built,'' Stracick said. ''Don't worry about it. It's done.''

AFC-Leading Texans Back To Work After Bye By Kristie Rieken Associated Press
HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston Texans secured the AFC's best record before using their bye for a long break to rest and recharge. Now they chase their goal of reaching the Super Bowl. The first task comes when they host Buffalo on Sunday. The biggest concern for the Texans (6-1) coming out of the bye week is depth at running back with Ben Tate hampered by a hamstring injury. Coach Gary Kubiak hoped the break would give Tate time to get healthy. Instead Tate missed practice Monday, and Kubiak said he's still ''a few days away'' from getting back on the field. The Texans look to Tate to help ease the load of Arian Foster, whose 168 rushes lead the NFL. ''We need him,'' Kubiak said of Tate. ''He's very important to getting Arian rest, and our success as a football team.'' Tate's durability has been an issue since the Texans drafted him in the second round in 2010 out of Auburn. He missed his entire rookie season after breaking
his ankle in the first preseason game. He appeared in 15 games last season and finished with 942 yards rushing as a complement to Foster, but missed a game this season with a toe injury before hurting his hamstring against Baltimore. ''It seems like it's been one thing after another,'' Kubiak said. ''There was the toe and now the hamstring. This has been going on for a few years ... he's struggled to stay on the field. There's nothing you can do about it ... he's going to miss some time here. You're not going to see him back all of the sudden in the next day or two.'' Until Tate gets healthy, the Texans will rely on Justin Forsett as a backup to Foster, who is fifth in the NFL with 659 yards rushing. Forsett is in his first season in Houston after spending the last four years with the Seahawks. He has 23 carries for 120 yards this season. ''I have a lot of confidence in Justin,'' Kubiak said. ''So I'm going to go and play Arian and Justin just like I would Arian and Ben. So I'm not going to do anything different.'' Forsett, who ran for a careerContinued on pg 11

NHL On Ice: All Games Canceled Through November By Ira Podell Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) — It will be December before the NHL returns to the ice, and that is a best-case scenario. With no deal in place, and no plans to resume negotiations with the players' association, the NHL canceled its entire slate of games through the end of November. Once a league deadline to reach a deal that would allow for a full regular season passed last Thursday, cuts to the schedule were inevitable. The NHL wasted little time in wiping out over a quarter of its games. In all, 326 regular-season games from Oct. 11 through Nov. 30 were lost — amounting to 26.5 percent of the schedule. ''The National Hockey League deeply regrets having to take this action,'' deputy commissioner Bill Daly said in a statement. ''By presenting a proposal to the NHLPA that contemplated a fair division of revenues and was responsive to player concerns regarding the value of their contracts, we had hoped to be able to forge a long-term collective bargaining agreement that would have preserved an 82game regular season for our fans. Unfortunately, that did not occur. ''We acknowledge and accept
that there is joint responsibility in collective bargaining and, though we are profoundly disappointed that a new agreement has not been attained to this point, we remain committed to achieving an agreement that is fair for the players and the clubs — one that will be good for the game and our fans.'' The union attempted to get the league back to the bargaining table this week, but was rebuffed when it asked that talks take place without preconditions. The NHL would only agree to meet again if the players' association used the league's previous proposal as a framework or offered a new one. ''The league officially informed us today that they have withdrawn their latest proposal and have cancelled another slate of regular-season games,'' union executive director Donald Fehr said in a statement. ''This is deeply disappointing for all hockey fans and everyone who makes their living from hockey, including the players. But it comes as no surprise.'' Fehr met with players on Friday night before they played in a charity game in Rosemont, Ill. ''The only thing I'll say about the conversation is, and we repeatedly get asked, 'What is there in the NHL offer that moved in our direction?''' Fehr said. ''My problem is all I
Winter Classic and the AllStar game later in January isn't expected, Daly said. ''They're going to keep exercising the power that they have to be able to lock us out, and the thought that they can cancel games to try to sway us their way,'' Chicago Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews said. ''We'll see what happens in the next little while and see where it goes from there.''

NHL's Islanders Moving To Brooklyn In 2015 By Ira Podell Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) — Mike Bossy's fondest memories of the New York Islanders will always have Nassau Coliseum as the cherished backdrop, no matter where the team calls home. That doesn't mean the Hockey Hall of Famer isn't embracing the team's big move to Brooklyn. Since the day the Islanders entered the NHL in 1972, Nassau Coliseum has been the place for them. It's where they grabbed the hockey spotlight, outshined the big, bad Rangers, and won the Stanley Cup four straight times from 198083 in establishing one of the greatest dynasties in sports. But on Wednesday, the future became all about Brooklyn. After seven months of negotiations, and offers to move the team out of New York, club owner Charles Wang said the Islanders will relocate to Brooklyn once their lease at Nassau Coliseum expires after the 2014-15 season. ''Today is today, yesterday was yesterday,'' said Bossy, a top star during the Islanders' glory years. ''I have trouble some-

times putting myself in the shoes of the guy who won four Stanley Cups and who scored as many goals as I did because I've moved on and I do other stuff now. ''We did what we did where we did and now that is changing. It doesn't take anything away from what we did. If they would've built a new arena in Nassau County, the Coliseum would've been gone anyway. I always say that whatever you did is always in your heart and in your memories.'' The move is hardly shocking and not even unprecedented. The old New York Nets left Nassau Coliseum way back
when, relocated to New Jersey, and have moved into their new Brooklyn home — the sparkling Barclays Center that will also house the Islanders beginning in 2015. Unlike the Nets, who changed their logo and added Brooklyn to their name, the Islanders are sticking to their heritage through and through. That is important to Bossy, now the Islanders' vice president of corporate partnerships. ''Absolutely,'' he said. ''Charles' main goal was to keep the team local, and he succeeded in doing that. As much as people may be upset because it's not going to be in Nassau
County they should be happy because he kept the team in New York.'' The Barclays Center sits across the street from the site Brooklyn Dodgers owner Walter O'Malley hoped to put a baseball stadium on to keep his club in New York. He was unable to pull it off, so the Dodgers left Brooklyn for Los Angeles in 1958 and left the borough without a pro sports team until the Nets' arrival this year. Coincidentally, the Nets hosted the New York Knicks in an NBA preseason game at Nassau Coliseum on Wednesday night. Real estate developer Bruce Ratner, a minority owner of the Nets, was instrumental in getting the Barclays Center built and paving the way for Brooklyn to re-enter the world of sports in a major way. The building is the main part of a $3.5 billion complex called Atlantic Yards that was built by Ratner's company. Ratner gave the credit for the Islanders' move to Wang. ''He got offers to move the team out of state — good offers — but Charles wouldn't do

BUFFALO, N.Y. — The National Hockey League announced the cancellation of the 2012-13 regular-season schedule through Nov 30. The cancellation of the schedule was necessary because of the absence of a Collective Bargaining Agreement between the NHL Players’ Association and the NHL. As a result, the following Buffalo Sabres games at First Niagara Center have been can-
celled: Nov. 3 vs. Carolina, Nov. 16 vs. Philadelphia, Nov. 21 vs. Columbus, Nov. 27 vs. Winnipeg, and Nov. 29 vs. Vancouver. The Sabres will continue to maintain contact with all season ticket holders and mini pack holders regarding the work stoppage and ticket refunds due to missed games. As previously communicated, the Sabres will offer the following options to our season ticket holders and mini pack holders who have purchased tickets for the 2012-13 season: Option 1: At the end of each
month, the Sabres will refund any games that are cancelled by the NHL. For example, on Dec. 1, the Sabres will refund all regular-season games that were cancelled by the NHL in the month of November. The refund process will be communicated to our season-ticket holders and mini pack ticketholders (via email and/or mail) if and when games have been cancelled by the NHL. Option 2: The Sabres will offer season-ticket holders and mini pack ticket-holders 4% simple interest per annum on

GLENS FALLS, N.Y. — Rick Schofield scored a pair of goals to help the Rochester Americans return their winning ways with a 6-2 win over the Adirondack Phantoms Saturday night the Glens Falls Civic Center. Rochester has now won four of its last five games and have picked up points in five straight as the Amerks improve to 5-2-1-0 on the season. Kevin Porter and Evan Rankin rounded out the scoring for the Amerks as they each found the back of net for the second time in as many nights while David Leggio earned his fifth win of the campaign with a 28-save effort.

around before the most recent offer of 50-50. Fehr said he spoke to the NHL last Friday and that the sides have conversations regularly, even though they haven't scheduled another time to meet. There is a major divide between the sides over how to deal with existing player contracts. The union wants to ensure that those are all paid in full without affecting future contracts between teams and players. Bettman expressed a willingness to discuss the ''make whole'' provisions on existing contracts, but only if the economic portions of the league's offer are accepted first by the union. ''Last week the owners gave us what amounts to a 'takeit-or-leave-it' proposal,'' Fehr said. ''We responded with the framework for three proposals on the players' share, each of which moved significantly, toward their stated desire for a 50-50 split of HRR, with the only condition being that they honor contracts they have already signed. Honoring contracts signed between owners and players is a reasonable request. Unfortunately, after considering them for only 10 minutes they rejected all of our proposals.'' This lockout, the third of Bettman's tenure as commissioner, began Sept. 16.
quickly as Porter scored his third goal of the season. The power-play goal was set up by Luke Adam as he drove to the net and fed Porter, who buried it past Munroe for a 2-1 lead. Halfway through the second period, Schofield tallied his second goal of the night, to give the Amerks a 3-1 lead. Nick Tarnasky made his way into the slot and slid a pass to Schofield, who beat Munroe on the glove side. The Amerks took a 4-1 lead as they scored their second power-play goal of the night as Rankin tipped a Marcus Foligno shot from the slot to put the Amerks up by three. Mike Testwuide cut Rochester’s lead to 4-2 with his first of the season at 5:16 of the final frame, but Nick Crawford and Tarnasky would each score in the final minutes of regulation to secure the 6-2 win for the Amerks. Rochester returns to home ice on Friday, Nov. 2 when it hosts the Hamilton Bulldogs at 7:05 p.m. at The Blue Cross Arena to open its November schedule, which features five Friday night home games. The North Division showdown will also be the first of back-to-back tilts between the two teams and can be heard live on Sports 1280 AM WHTK. In addition, the game will be televised live on Time Warner Cable SportsChannel (Channel 26).

gus Creek all the way up to Scoby Dam near Springville, with better catches below Gowanda. Lake Erie steelhead commonly hit natural baits like egg sacs and worms, flies such as egg imitations, streamers and bugger patterns, and lures like minnow-type stickbaits and in-line spinners. Anglers can also target steelhead from the Cattaraugus Creek breakwall or off creek mouths by casting spoons, spinners and stickbaits. The fish passage project at the Westfield Water Works dam on Chautauqua Creek has been completed. This fish passage gives steelhead access to an additional 10 miles of stream that runs through a deep, wooded gorge. There are about 7 miles of public fishing rights easements (PFR) over that stretch of stream. See the Chautauqua Creek PFR Map (409 KB pdf file) to view these public access areas. When weather permits, yellow perch anglers have done very well on Lake Erie. Perch catches have been widespread, with anglers locating

in 1982. Brian Wilson — aka The Beard — missed nearly the entire season. Tim Lincecum — aka The Freak, was ace of the staff during the 2010 title run. He morphed into a middle reliever who held the Tigers hitless in a pair of outings. Sandoval said ''heart'' was the critical ingredient. ''It's amazing what they accomplished,'' Bochy said. ''I think when you look at this club, the terms 'teamwork,' 'team play,' and 'play as a team,' that's used loosely, but these guys truly did. They set aside their own agenda and asked what's best for the club. And we put guys in different roles, nobody ever said a word, complained or anything, and that's the only way it got done.''

nals,'' the Heat's LeBron James said. ''They got a couple pieces ay back that are really good as to well. But we don't know how e it changes their team until they actually get out there.'' ook Presti said the Thunder got as more for Harden because they ed dealt him early enough that ond Houston could re-sign him lay before a Wednesday deadline to reach a contract extension. t Oklahoma City received n guards Kevin Martin and Jeremy Lamb, two first-round draft picks and a secondo round pick in the swap, om and also sent Cole Aldrich, Daequan Cook and Lazar he Hayward to the Rockets.
Presti expects the draft picks to be critical to rebuilding quality depth at a low price. The departure of Harden and, to a lesser degree, Cook and Aldrich rattles Oklahoma City's second unit that already lost veterans Derek Fisher and Nazr Mohammed in free agency. Backup point guard Eric Maynor will return after missing most of last season with a knee injury, with power forward Nick Collison the only other holdover from the second five. First-round draft pick Perry Jones III and free-agent acquisition Hasheem Thabeet figure to move up in the rotation now.
Presti said the Thunder still consider themselves championship contenders — but so does every team in the league when the season starts. ''With the group that we have, they've been through a lot together and they've won a lot of games together. So, for us, of course we're always going to feel like we've got a chance to do good things,'' Presti said. ''However, I would also add that it's never been our approach to do a lot of talking about what it is we're going to do or who we are. ''I think we're at a point as a franchise where we have to do what we say.''
baits. Live shiners or crayfish are good bets for smallmouth bass along weed edges. Anglers can also look for fall concentrations of crappie in the same locations they would find them in spring, such as in canals, off canal mouths and along weed edges. Fathead minnows and small tube jigs work best for crappie.
Upper Niagara River
Smallmouth bass action has been good around Strawberry and Grand Islands. Drifting along weed edges with a bottom bouncing rig and crayfish or shiners has been tops for smallmouth bass, but tube jigs and plastics also work. Casting stickbaits and spinnerbaits around weed edges will catch both smallmouth and largemouth bass. Drifting with large 8-10 inch tube jigs or casting large stickbaits are good bets for muskellunge around Strawberry Island and near the Huntley power station. Live bait has produced catches of bass and panfish for shore anglers at Broderick Park and the north end of Squaw Island. Often in fall, shore anglers at these sites also catch some
rainbow trout on egg sacs, spoons and spinners.
Surplus Broodstock Trout Stocking
Randolph Fish Hatchery has completed their annual fall stocking of broodstock trout in Cattaraugus and Allegany Counties. All breeder trout stocked are over 2 years old and are stocked in waters where trout fishing is permitted yearround. The following waters have been stocked with surplus broodstock trout: New Albion Lake, Case Lake, Harwood Lake, Quaker Lake, Red House Lake, Allen Lake, Birch Run Pond and the Genesee River (from Wellsville to PA border). If you need more fishing information or would like to contribute to the fishing report, please call or e-mail Mike Todd (716-851-7010; mttodd@ gw.dec.state.ny.us) or Jim Markham (716-366-0228; jlmarkha@gw.dec. state.ny.us).

SBU BATTLING FOR POSTSEASON continued from pg 7 hat trick in the 82nd minute with a firm strike from outside the box past the outstretched arms of Abel Bautista. "Today we learned that you have to be mentally focused, not throughout a match, but from match to match," said head coach Mel Mahler. "This has been our Achilles
heel all season. Now we have our backs against the wall going into the last weekend of the season." The Bonnies are now once again on the outside looking in on the Atlantic 10 Tournament line. SBU is currently just one point out of the eighth and final spot with two
games to play. SBU will be at home for both games next weekend. La Salle visits McGraw-Jennings field on Friday (Nov. 2) for a 3:00 p.m. kickoff. The regular season finale and senior day will take place against Fordham on Sunday (Nov. 4) at 1 p.m.
ISLANDERS MOVE TO BROOKLYN continued from pg 10 that,'' Ratner said. ''Charles is the real hero here today.'' Wang wanted to keep the team in New York despite failing to get the Lighthouse Project built on Long Island. That grandiose plan would have included a new arena for the Islanders, but it never got the necessary approval for construction. Both Wang and NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman stated in the past that the Islanders wouldn't play in Nassau Coliseum one day longer than they had to. Wang said he had serious options to move the team far away, but stuck to his desire to stay. ''We came to the right conclusion,'' Wang said. ''We had many offers that we looked at, but our first priority was we wanted to stay in Nassau County and then in New York.'' The Islanders hope this move will help them on and off the ice. The team hasn't reached the playoffs since 2007 and hasn't won a postseason series since 1993. Wang started Wednesday's festivities in the lobby of the new arena with a bold proclamation of ''Hello Brooklyn!'' He will have to wait a few years to finally see his team hit the ice in the intimate building that is expected to hold between 14,500 and 15,000 for hockey. Wang said he has no intention of trying to get out of his Long Island lease early. Once the Islanders settle into Brooklyn, they will begin a 25-year lease at the Barclays Center.
''The Islanders, I believe, will be strengthened because they were playing in an inadequate facility, and the fan experience here will be much better,'' Bettman said. ''If a franchise is strengthened, that's good for everybody.'' Officials in nearby Nassau County, N.Y., have struggled for years to come up with a plan to either renovate or build a new arena to replace the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, which opened in 1972. Wang, the founder of a computer software company, presented a plan in 2003 for a privately funded multibillion-dollar development of housing, retail and a new arena on the property, but the proposal foundered amid community opposition. Wang had long threatened to move the team from its home in Uniondale after the club's lease expired. He complained that the dilapidated building is unsuited for a professional sports franchise. ''I am disappointed, too, but we're here, we're home,'' Wang said of the decision to leave Long Island. ''It's a new place and it's only 35 minutes away by train. Come and join us and see hockey. ''I think fans want a good experience. It's not just about watching hockey it's also the whole ambience of coming to a place where you can get good food and you can see. We have Queens, Manhattan, Brooklyn fans. Westchester might be a little bit harder, but we have them all over the tri-state area.''

Good catches were also reported east of Cattaraugus Creek at similar depths and straight off the Dunkirk departure buoy in 60 feet of water. Emerald shiners are top perch bait, however salted shiners and worms also worked well. Smallmouth bass have been readily hitting baits in 15-35 feet of water.

going to go in, so just try to work hard and get ready for this week.'' Kubiak doesn't feel comfortable having just two healthy running backs on the active roster and said the Texans may consider signing practice squad player Davin Meggett to the roster if Tate doesn't improve.
Tate said he's feeling better and believes he's improving, but he isn't sure how long he'll be out. Foster feels fresh after the break and thinks too much is made of his workload. He hopes to have Tate back this week, but is also comfortable with Forsett. ''He's an important part of
what we do. I can't wait until he gets back healthy, but until then, Justin Forsett is a very capable back,'' Foster said. ''We've seen what he can do already. That's just the nature of the business. Somebody goes down, the next guy has to step up.'' While the offense deals with this issue, the defense is
looking to build on a solid start seven weeks. The 283 yards a game the Texans are allowing are the third fewest in the NFL. Still, defensive end J.J. Watt is irked that they didn't enter their bye with a perfect record. ''We lost a game so we don't want to do that again,'' he
said when asked how they could improve going forward. ''I think the biggest key to our success is we need to stop the run ... make them throw the ball and then attack the passer and make them uncomfortable, make him force some throws that he doesn't want to make, and give our DBs a chance to make plays.''
