Behind the Face of Care

Westfield woman shares insights, challenges of caregiving By Patricia Pihl Managing Editor

It was what Kristin Korn would describe as “no ordinary morning.” Writing a college paper a year later in 2010, the Westfield mother and wife details the events the day her mother experienced a stroke which occurred while she, her husband and daughter were living at her mother’s home after returning to Western New York. Suffering a massive stroke in 2009 was an event that would change both of their lives from that day forward. Phyllis, a fiercely independent woman would lose her ability to speak and would have to relearn to walk. Kristin would also face a life alteration, as she became her mother’s primary caregiver over the next months and years. Seared into her memory is the frightened look in her mother’s eyes, as she was wheeled into the emergency room that day, unable to speak. Just as palpable are the pangs of guilt, which still exist to this day; feelings that she could somehow have prevented the devastated effects of stroke had she gotten up earlier that day. Believing that her large black lab, “Duke” was trying to deliver

According to the National Family Caregivers Association, there are more than 65 million family caregivers in this country. November is National Family Caregivers Month, which seeks to raise awareness of family caregiver issues and celebrate their eﬀorts. a warning, Kristen explains she heard a thump on her bed at 4 a.m. and woke up to find Duke staring at her- a behavior, she says uncharacteristic of him. Going back to sleep, it would be hours later after she got up when she discovered her mother, unable to move or speak. Knowing now that the small

window of time after a stroke is so critical to recovery, she says she lives with the guilt of what if. “That’s the guilt I face… maybe my dog actually heard her trying to call for help.” Looking back Kristin remarks, “For me it was devastating seeing her like that, because she was still my Mom, but she wasn’t my

Mom. I still grieve… Sometimes I think maybe she’ll be back to normal, but she won’t be.” Hospitalized at St. Vincent’s in Erie for the next month, Phyllis was then moved to a stroke rehabilitation center for the next six weeks. With her speech gone, she would spend six hours a day, seven days a week in therapy, her leg braced to begin the process of learning to walk again. Losing the use of her right arm would require her hand to be attached by Velcro to an elliptical machine, which was also part of her rehabilitation. Released after six months, Kristin spent the next two years at home with Phyllis, ensuring that she would continue to make improvements, however small. The first task at hand was making the physical changes to her home, some of which included ensuring any trip hazards were removed, and putting a bar near her mother’s bed, so she could pull herself up. She adds, “I wondered if the bathroom would have to be gutted to accommodate a wheelchair, or whether my halls were wide enough…there were so many questions during that rehab Continued on page 3

Kristin finds the necessity to do what she sees as the only right thing – to ensure that her mom’s needs – both physical and emotional are met, while keeping her best interests in mind. This usually requires feeding, bathing and visiting with her after a long day. No, it’s not glamorous work, and while not asking to be martyrs the family caregiver serves a special role that many times cannot be filled by anyone else in quite the same way. Caregivers often suffer higher rates of depression and other physical ailments, so while it may seem foreign, they must be careful to make time for their own well-being, something they rarely have time to do. For all their efforts, I salute them. They are truly the angels among us.

flaming “rod & custom” to vintage “stock original” beauties. The day became a festive mid-summer’s Saturday, with “oldies” performed by a WNY band, “The Untouchables.” Besides the wide array of arts, crafts and foods offered by Cross Roads vendors, Westfield’s very own “Whiskers, the Balloon Man,” delighted both young and old with his balloon creations of animals and objects. The summer breeze permeated the aroma from sizzling grills featuring barbecued chicken and ribs (BW’s Smokin” Barrels BBQ), hot dogs and sausages (Westfield Kiwanis), and fresh corn. Many participants assembled their canopies and fired-up their own food grills to celebrate this glorious August day with their fellow car-club members. The event concluded with a 4 p.m. trophy presentation. In addition to first, second and third winners in 13 “classes,” Best of Show, People’s Choice, Vendors Choice, Oldest Vehicle, and Furthest Distance Traveled to Show were honored.

encing the normal frustrations of her disability was determined not to give up during rehabilitation, with Kristin adding, “In many ways she feels fine and doesn’t need anyone.” “She was a single mother raising two kids and just worked and worked and worked, and did what she wanted. This happened to her and now there’s a reversal, she has to depend on me to take care of her.” Lessons To others who may be in similar circumstances

Kristin advises, “Life just throws you curveballs. When things pop up, she says, I literally have to say to myself, what is this going to teach me? Take it day by day and if there are a few dishes left in the sink, there’s always tomorrow.” In her characteristic high-spirited chuckle, she advises, “you just have to laugh.” “It may be something on TV that makes you laugh, or a video or funny animal. “ Laughter aside, there are also legal and financial decisions that parents can

make, including decisions concerning giving their children power of attorney or familiarizing themselves with laws regarding caregivers, that are very important in cases like hers. Rather than act on the advice to place her Mom outside the home, Kristin feels that it is her turn to care for Phyllis, who was a single mom who worked hard for her and her brother. And for the rewards, Kristin says, “You have peace knowing you did the best job you could.”

Caregiving, Continued from pg 1 period, you almost have to fly by the seat of your pants.” Today, a typical day includes making breakfast and lunch for her mom, as well as ensuring that she gets her required medications. After returning home from work, Kristin cooks dinner, gives her mother her medication again, bathes her and washes her laundry. During the day, a neighbor stops in to check on her. Phyllis may take a walk on her own, but carries a card to identify her disability. Working full time as well as being a part-time college student has also presented challenges as Kristin juggles care giving with her many other responsibilities. Still, she says she manages to spend time with her mother after work, ensur-

ing that her emotional needs are also met. When asked about coping with the many challenges, Kristin offers this advice: “laughter… humor is the only way.” Even when her Mom was still in rehab she says, “We would joke and laughed a lot because it was the only way to get through it. It also helped the paralysis in her face.” Loosing a sense of self also comes with being a fulltime caregiver. “You sometimes wonder who you are as a person.” To cope she says, “once in a blue moon I’ll just get in the car and spend a day by myself. You’re always tending to everyone day in and day out sometimes you need a day to yourself. It pulls me back together, and I don’t think about all my problems.” When she begins the drive

back home, she sometimes get a heavy feeling again. “It’s back to reality.” She tried support groups earlier on, but said that it was too fresh for her. “When it happened I was 36, there aren’t that many people that age that have had something like this happen to a parent.” Kristin says it has also been tough on her daughter Laura, who was 9 or 10 when the stroke occurred. “When we first moved here, my daughter didn’t know a lot of people and my Mom would take her downtown, to a store, or show her how to sew or do crafts and Laura liked those same things. She lost her friend and her grandma.” Her husband, Roy has also found himself in a care giving role when Kristin has to be away. Her mother, while experi-

RELIGION SECTION Keeping the Faith

Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church Fredonia www.thefamilychurches.org

Dear Pastor, are guardian angels real or just a myth? When I was young, I was told that everyone has a guardian angel to guide and protect them. At the time, I wondered if they were real or a myth like Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. Let’s see what the Bible has to say about this fascinating topic. In Matthew 18:10 Jesus said, “Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones; for I say to you, that in heaven their angels do always behold the face

of My Father which is in heaven.” In this scripture Jesus was referring to children as “little ones”. He warns us not to treat children poorly. Why? Jesus said that their angels bring petitions before God. So, according to this scripture, each child does have an angel. Although the Bible does not use the term “guardian angel,” we do know from the scriptures that one of their jobs is to protect us. We read in the Bible that an angel kept hungry lions

from attacking Daniel when he was thrown in the lion pit for his religious beliefs (Daniel 6:22). Psalms 34:7 says, “The angel of the Lord encamps (circles) round about them that fear Him, and delivers them.” In my archives I have many testimonies from individuals reporting how angels have assisted them in times of need. One of my favorites is from a pastor’s wife (and mother to several children) who became ill while her husband was away. During a particu-

larly stressful time an angel came to the door and told the wife that she needed rest. Without any qualms, the woman lay down and instantly fell asleep. While she slept, the angel cleaned the house, did the laundry, dressed the kids, and prepared a wonderful meal. She woke when her husband returned from his trip, unexpectedly accompanied by some new friends. Surprised by the clean house she also discovered that the table had been set for 13 people, the exact

number of her family and their unexpected guests! While this report may be extraordinary, there are also numerous testimonies of angelic interventions concerning lost items, prevention of injuries, and comforting visitations to the dying. However they are named, it’s apparent that there are angels working in our lives. Isn’t it wonderful that God saw fit to offer His divine protection and assistance in this manner!

will act upon one of these two sources that are feeding your thought life. If you continually act upon God’s knowledge then you will be led into a deeper level of victory in your life and all the grace for Godly living. If you are acting upon thoughts and imaginations that are against the Knowledge of God then you ultimately will cast from yourself complete fulfillment and God’s plan for your life. For example, as a young man I fell into a pattern of living closely associated with alcoholism. It adversely affected my entire life. As a result my life spiraled down into depression and drug use. I was

never satisfied and every time I needed relief it just took more and more alcohol to fill the void. After the buzz wore off the void was still there and I was empty. So what was that? It was a stronghold that I was acting upon. I was convinced in my mind that a substance was my only way to have a fulfilling life. So how did that change? I changed my source for my thought life. I fed upon God’s Word and let it fill my thoughts. My perspective changed and so did my life. Next week: More about Strongholds

Five Tips to Boost Your Retirement Readiness Contributed Article State Point

In challenging financial times, it can be difficult to pay bills today, let alone save for the future. In fact, a recent survey conducted by Lincoln Financial Group found that 72 percent of Americans say that the state of the economy is making it challenging for them to stay on track with their retirement savings. “With everything that Americans have on their minds today, the economy can weigh heavily on retirement savings decisions,” says Chuck Cornelio, president of Retirement Plan Services at Lincoln Financial Group. “But it’s important not to take a break from saving.” Even if you are already enrolled in your employersponsored retirement plan, like a 401(k) or 403(b), there are steps you can take to help better prepare you for retirement. Here are five tips to help you get you started. • Enroll in your employer sponsored retirement

plan: Participating in your employer-sponsored retirement plan reduces your taxable income today, while helping to build retirement savings for tomorrow. If you don’t know how to get started, contact your benefits administrator or human resources department to help you enroll.

• Consolidate assets: Consolidating your retirement assets into one account helps to simplify the savings and income planning process and can help your money grow over time. • Schedule a retirement plan check-up: Make it a habit to schedule an annual plan check-up just as you

• Increase contributions with income boosts: Whenever you receive extra cash from a tax refund, a bonus, a salary increase or some other pleasant surprise, consider increasing your retirement plan contributions. Even increasing by a percentage or two can make a big difference in the long run. When you hit the maximum contribution level in your employersponsored retirement plan, a financial advisor can help you find the right place to invest additional savings. Although retirement may seem far off when you are in the middle of your working years, getting on track early and saving steadily can help you fund the lifestyle you want to live in your retirement years.

$1,500, a campaign has been launched locally to help offset those costs in order to be able to provide these services to the students of Fredonia and Forestville. “Project 15” is the name of the campaign that will help fight school bullying in those two school systems as it supports the Runway to Hope Foundation’s efforts as a non-profit organization dedicated to recruiting students in the fight against the epidemic of school bullying. “School bullying is rapidly growing worse and students are becoming increasingly susceptible to depressive behaviors,” says Bobby Wise, a Fredonia native and former victim of bullying who teamed up with other young adults to co-create The Runway To Hope Foundation. “After doing research into other organization’s efforts on bullying, I realized that there

You must be better choices in the way we prepared for some honest communicate. reflection. Transformation coach Sally Some of the signs that Anderson, author of “Free- you’re allowing your Contributed Article State Point

unconscious thoughts to sabotage your relationships include: • Making the assumption that the other person is in the wrong when your expectations are not met. • Placing conditions on your love. • Displaying a victim mentality. • Feeling powerless. • Being resentful. • Reacting defensively. • Listening to others in a negative context. • Becoming withdrawn in your relationships.

• Questioning your commitment to others. The failure to recognize the source of your feelings is a lot like the annoying static you hear when you aren’t properly tuned in to a radio station. So instead of just reacting the next time you’re upset with someone, try tuning-in to yourself. You may find your first reaction isn’t the best reaction. This awareness is crucial to better communication and functional relationships, according to Anderson, who advises taking the following helpful steps:

• Commit to an empowered relationship, don’t just want one. • Realize that forgiving is not condoning an act. • Know that when someone specifically aims judgment at you personally, it never has anything to do with you. Quite the contrary, it says more about them than it does about you! • Take responsibility for your own emotional and mental state and avoid placing blame on others. • Love unconditionally. • Be willing to transform yourself.

“Extraordinary relationships are possible for those willing to be open, transform themselves, truly listen, and love unconditionally,” says Anderson. “By doing so, we can achieve a level of insight into ourselves and one another that we never thought possible.” For more tips on how selfawareness can improve your relationships, visit www.freefallselfimprovement.com. It just may be that you need to focus more on yourself to become better at dealing with others.

Desperados. I’d just skip out on the second flight and go get the barbecue.” AS her passion grew, Hunt knew that she either had to go to the barbecue- or bring the barbecue home. It was then her passion for all things smoked, grilled, marinated and coated began. “I learned so much, so fast,” she said. “There is a whole world out there- and it’s an easy world to get into. Once you know the basics, it’s like a family. The national barbecue scene is an amazing thing, and I’m so thrilled to be a part of it.” Hunt began going to barbecue competitions, where she quickly rose to prominence. She now considers herself close friends with stars like those seen on

TLC’s Barbecue Pitmasters. Her recipe is one that brings the sweet taste of southern barbecue to the typically vinegar-rich area of Western New York. And the best part is- she won it like a hustler. “One time while I was down there, I told the owner (who was slightly intoxicated) that I’d play him for all his secrets,” said Hunt. “Needless to say, he thought I was just another Yankee woman, but I smoked him clean.

Despite all the late nights, early mornings and crazy people I meet- I love it.” Desperados is open Tuesday through Saturday from noon to 10 p.m., and Sundays from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. They’re located at 29 Commercial Street.

Preparing for Disaster Contributed Article Chautauqua County Emergency Services

We were very lucky in WNY not to be affected by Hurricane Sandy. Even a week later, the people there are still dealing with the aftermath. There are many people in NYC and NJ who continue to be without power and many people who did not immediately evacuate are finding they have to do so now. What would you do if the power were off for more than a week? Where would you go if you needed to evacuate from your home? How would you communicate with family or friends if there were no phone or computer service? While we are unlikely to be affected by most natural disasters, ice storms, blizzards, or snow-related emergency is a very likely possibility in our county. Don’t let a countywide emergency catch you unprepared. The County Emergency Services, the Sheriff ’s department, and many other county and community partners continue to work together to prepare our county should a disaster strike. This “Emergency Preparedness” helps offi-

cials mobilize a coordinated response to an emergency and was extremely helpful with the flood that affected Silver Creek and other areas of our county a few years ago. Coordination of emergency personnel and volunteers is extremely important but often how a community fairs in a disaster rests largely on how the citizens react. That is why we urge everyone to do their part in preparing for an emergency by taking some simple steps: 1) Make a Plan: If disaster strikes you may not have much time to act. Planning ahead for what to do and sharing your plan with family, friends, and neighbors can make all the difference. Know what you are going to do if the power/heat goes out, the computer and phones are down, meal or medical services are unable to reach you for several days. If you have a home care service, know their emergency procedures and numbers. Keep a list of personal emergency numbers in one place and take it with you if you must evacuate. 2) Build a Kit with at least three days of critical supplies to keep you

safe and comfortable. In a countywide disaster, it may take emergency personnel several days to get to everyone in need. Having your own essential supplies will free emergency personnel to treat your frail or critically injured neighbors who cannot wait for assistance. Maintain your plan or kit and review every six months/year: While a snow related disaster is the most likely scenario during January and February in WNY, having a plan and a kit ready throughout the year will make sure you are not at risk should we experience an unexpected “October” storm, train-derailment, or tire dump fire (all very likely scenarios.) Make sure you rotate all the perishable supplies in your kits, update emergency contact information, and have fresh batteries for medically necessary devices or transportation equipment. The following is a list of recommended supplies for your disaster kit: *Three day supply of nonperishable food, * Three day supply of water (1 gallon per person, per day); *Manual can opener; * Flashlight with extra batteries; *First-aid kit; * Cell

At least one of the soups will be vegetarian. Live entertainment will be organized by popular area musician Tom Gestwicki.

While numerous individuals have created the beautiful, one of a kind ceramic bowls, none are signed by the maker. Instead, they are imprinted with the “Empty Bowls” logo thus continuing to remind the user that there are hungry persons in the world. Empty Bowls is an international grassroots effort to fight hunger. The basic premise is simple: Potters and other craftspeople, educators and others work with the community to create handcrafted bowls. Guests are invited to a simple meal of soup. In exchange for a

stipulation made by the now international organization “Empty Bowls.” The organization was formed in 1990 by John Hartom and his wife Lisa Blackburn when they were teaching at Bloomfield Hills Lahser High School in Michigan.

Maestro Bryan Eckenrode has been CRYS music director and conductor since 2003. Under his professional leadership, students have learning opportunities that are unique in the Chautauqua area. During this 26th season, students in CRYS’s three orchestras -- Prelude Strings for beginning string musicians, Young Artists Orchestra (YAO) for intermediate musicians, and the Youth Symphony for highly talented and motivated musicians ages 13 through college – will be doing more performances as ensembles in the community. The first of these, featuring the Youth Symphony string players, will be at 7 p.m. on Friday, December 7, at the Chautauqua Mall. A holiday flavor will highlight the Chamber Concert by the Youth Symphony string players on Saturday, December 8, at 7 p.m. at SS Peter and Paul Church, 508 Cherry Street in Jamestown. Rehearsals for all three orchestras begin right after the holidays, with Prelude at Lutheran on Friday afternoons and the Youth Symphony and YAO at the Reg Lenna Civic Center in downtown Jamestown on Saturday mornings. In March, CRYS students will travel to hear the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra accompany a presentation of The Wizard of Oz in Pittsburgh’s Heinz Hall and to meet some of the

musicians. In mid-April, the Youth Symphony will have a weekend of intensive coaching and rehearsals at Chautauqua Institution. The annual Spring Gala in May will feature two professional musician/educators who will rehearse and perform with the orchestras. CRYS students pay tuition, but no one is turned away for inability to pay. CRYS receives essential funding from foundations and other organizations in the community. While parents, board members and students all participate in fund raising, support by individuals and local businesses is critical to CRYS’s survival. At their recent meeting, board members sent letters to local individuals and businesses requesting their support for the Youth Symphony’s 2012-2013 season. Among the ways the Youth Symphony expresses appreciation to its contributors is by recognition on its website and in printed concert programs and through complimentary admissions to the Spring Gala Concert on Sunday, May 5, 2013, in the Reg Lenna Civic Center. Tax-deductible contributions to the Chautauqua Regional Youth Symphony can be mailed to P.O. Box 3454, Jamestown, NY 14702. For more information about CRYS and its programs for young musicians, call (716) 664-2465, ext. 202, or visit the website at www.CRYouthSymphony. com. Organizations that would like to have an ensemble from CRYS perform for them can call (716) 664-2465, ext. 202, or email CRYSymphony@mac.com.

“I am impressed. If I lived in this area, this is the club I’d want to belong to.” So said Rotary District 7090 Governor Rick Sterne of Brantford, Ontario, during his recent visit to the Westfield/Mayville Rotary Club. As is the practice of all district governors, Sterne’s visit was one of the many he will make this year. The district includes 74 clubs in Southern Ontario, Canada, and Western New York, each having about half of the 74. A third generation Rotarian and a Paul Harris Fellow, Sterne’s business was computers. This year’s mission, approved by all district members, was Sterne’s topic. “Why do we do what we do,” he asked rhetorically; then delivered the challenge. “It is to pursue peace and conflict prevention.” Dubbed the “High Five,” that pursuit targets goals: disease prevention, purifying and providing water for those less fortunate, maternal and child health, basic education and literacy and economic and community

Q&A Will leather couch deter cats’ scratches?

Q: We’re considering purchasing a leather couch. We have two indoor cats who have completely destroyed our fabric couch. We have given them a scratch post recently, and although they use it, they still use the couch. We do not deter them from using the fabric couch. In regard to the leather couch, we have heard that cats don’t like leather and won’t scratch it. But before we shell out the money for an expensive piece of furniture, I wanted your opinion. — M.B., via email A: While it’s true that cats prefer fabrics, especially those with a coarse woven texture, I wouldn’t bet the farm on them not touching the new leather couch. Before you make such a huge investment, make a determined effort to convert your cats to using the scratching post. First, make sure the post is adequate. I recommend a cat tree rather than a scratching post. Trees are taller, less likely to fall over, and offer room for two or more cats to scratch, play and nap. The cover should be a loose-weave fabric or a rough rope, like sisal. Then make your current, old couch less attractive to scratching. Cover all the areas on the furniture where your cats love to scratch with something they’ll hate to touch — the sticky side of shelf-lining contact paper. Secure the sheets (sticky side out) to the scratched areas with double-sided tape. Don’t scrimp: Go for full coverage! Next, move the scratching post beside your cats’ most popular part of the couch. The idea is to give them a nearby alternative to putting their paws on their former scratching post — your old couch. Play games with your cats on the post, and give them food and treats for scratching in an appropriate place. Be patient, since cats aren’t keen on change. Once you notice your cats using the post (and not using the boobytrapped couch), you can very slowly — like, a couple feet a week — move the post to a less prominent part of the room. But don’t move it so far away that your cats lose interest. When you get your new couch, you can booby-trap it without marring the leather by mounting the sticky paper to sheets of cardboard and leaning them against the sides, corners and back of the new couch. The cardboard is to keep the cats from trying out the new couch, and it can come down once you observe that the cat post is getting all the action. — Gina Spadafori Do you have a pet question?

SAFER ANESTHESIA

Hurricane ups demand for pet blood donors

Advance Screening and Other Techniques Reduce Risk By Dr. Marty Becker and Gina Spadafori Universal Uclick

hile no medical procedure or medication — or even home remedy, for that matter — can ever be completely without risk, safer anesthetic agents, monitoring by specially trained veterinary technicians, and protocols that stress a pet’s safety and comfort before, during and after anesthesia have minimized risks substantially, even for older and chronically ill pets. That’s the good news. The bad news? Pet owners too often opt out of potentially lifesaving protocols or don’t follow veterinary advice before sedation, increasing the risks for their pets. With proper pre-op care, anesthetic risk is very low. That wasn’t always the case, of course, and old fears based on old information can be difficult to ease. But don’t let your fears keep you from providing your pet with care that can dramatically improve quality of life, such as necessary dental care. (If you doubt how much, just think of how desperate you were for dental care the last time you broke a tooth or even had a toothache!) Bringing your knowledge up to date and working with your veterinarian to minimize risk will help you make the best decisions when it comes to your pet’s care. So what’s changed in recent years? In a word: everything. Everything, that is, Having a technician carefully monitor a pet during except your veterinarian’s guidelines for surgery is one of many ways veterinarians reduce how to present your pet on the day of a anesthetic risk. procedure — with an empty stomach.

Healthy large dogs can give blood to help other pets — and sometimes may get a discount on care.

• Blood donors are often needed after disasters, and Hurricane Sandy is no exception. But while most people think about rolling up their own sleeves to help, they don’t realize blood donors for dogs and cats are also in short supply. DVM Magazine reports that veterinary blood banks throughout the Northeast are asking for help. While most feline blood donors are in-house residents of their veterinary practices (and are given good forever homes after a short period of service), healthy large dogs are welcomed as blood donors at many practices. Some even offer discounts on veterinary care for regular canine blood donors. • Dr. Jan Pol, a Michigan veterinarian who is the star of a popular reality show, was fined and ordered to complete coursework after being found by the state’s disciplinary panel to have been negligent in a case from 2010. Pol maintains he did nothing wrong in the case of 10 puppies who died in utero and were removed from their mother by caesarian performed at another veterinary practice. While some veterinarians have called for “The Incredible Dr. Pol” to be canceled, it is Nat Geo Wild’s highest-rating program, and the network told DVM360.com that it had no plans to take the series off the air. • The cost of a becoming a veterinarian has concerned the profession for years, and there’s no sign of relief in sight. According to The New York Times, new graduates can carry debt loads approaching a quarter-million dollars, with entrylevel salaries of less than half the average $121,000 annual salary for the profession as a whole. — Dr. Marty Becker and Gina Spadafori

Visit www.McKinleyMallPetExpo.Bravesites.com for the latest event details as well as a complete list of participating organizations. “The Purina® Pro Plan® Rally to Rescue® program has provided Ten Lives Club with a

tremendous amount of support,” said Marie Edwards, Ten Lives Club Founder. “Events like this provide the opportunity to send deserving animals “Home for the Holidays”, and enable us to continue to make a difference and save thousands of pets.” Ten Lives Club celebrated their eleventh anniversary this year, having touched the lives of over 11,000 cats and kittens in Western New York since their inception! Ten Lives Club places cats in new, forever homes through the TabbyTown adoption center in the McKinley Mall which opened on November 1, 2008, in addition to their shelter and satellite locations at pet stores in the area.

Smaller pet rescue organizations like Ten Lives Club help place nearly half a million dogs and cats in homes each year across the United States, and represent nearly 45 percent of all pet adoption agencies. However they are often overlooked by potential donors due to more limited fundraising and marketing capabilities. Ten Lives Club is a registered non-profit organization located in Western New York that is made up of volunteers and staff, all devoted to the club’s mission, “to promote, further and enhance all cat life”. They rely on donations to help feed, medicate, and house over 600 cats in their program, including 240

kittens in foster care. Ten Lives Club began in January 2001 with a dream to be able to save as many cats as possible, and they are proud to say that over 11,000 cats have been adopted or helped through TLC! All cats matter to us no matter if a stray, a personal pet, a feral (wild cat) or a sick cat. Once a cat is surrendered to their group, a thorough evaluation is done by one of their affiliated vets and all the necessary testing and shots are given. Most important, the cats are spayed and neutered. TLC believes strongly that the answer to the serious pet over-population problem is to spay and neuter!

Chautauqua County Humane Society Pet of the Week

Pet of the Week This week we are featuring “Smiley” and “Oreo”. Smiley is a one-year-old female Akita mix. She loves everyone and especially likes playing with other dogs, although her playful nature might be too much for kitties. She is a sweet girl and a great medium size. Oreo is four-year-old shorthaired female cat. She is very petite in size and loves to be petted. She is blind in one eye, but it doesn’t stop her from asking for attention. She would do well in a home as either an only cat or with one other kitty friend. 2825 Strunk Road • Jamestown 716-665-2209 cchs@spcapets.com

Langworthy Heads Postseason Honors

Week of November 15, 2012

By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

With the end of the high school football season, The Chautauqua Star has released its postseason awards and All-County Teams. Leading this years awards are Tom Langworthy (Coach, Jamestown), Oliver Simpson (Maple Grove), John Czech (Jamestown) and Jacob Sisson (Jamestown). Jamestown and Maple Grove each won their respective league titles and marched all the way to Ralph Wilson Stadium before ultimately losing in the sectional championship. Fredonia and Clymer also reached the sectional final at Ralph Wilson, but each school also lost. Langworthy is this year’s recipient of Coach of the Year. In his fifth year at Jamestown, he has continued to lead the Red Raiders back to the dominance that the program has seen for much of its existence. Jamestown finished the regular season 6-1, highlighted by ending No. 1 Orchard Park’s 18-game winning streak in Week 6. Jamestown cruised to the championship where their season ended at the hands of the Quakers. Simpson, a senior running back for the Red Dragons, was named the Offensive Player of the Year. He led all players in rushing yardage in the county and was among Western New York’s leaders as well. A likely AllWNY selection, Simpson almost single-handedly carried Maple Grove’s offense this year to a 7-0 regular season. The Red Dragons continued a playoff push until the wheels fell off in the championship games and their perfect season ended at 9-1. Czech, a senior defensive end for the Red Raiders, was named Defensive Player of the Year. Although he might not be the most well known player on Jamestown’s defense, he helped anchor the unit while classmate Cortland Haines sat out the first few games with an injury. Czech had 10 sacks and more than 100 tackles, leading the team in each category and was a consistent disruptive force. Finally, Sisson, a junior, was named the Underclassman of the Year. Sisson was a top candidate for Offensive Player of the Year as well after leading the county in passing yardage and touchdowns. He was the catalyst for Jamestown’s spread offense after unexpectedly taking over the job late in camp when he moved back to New York from Arkansas. He’s a Connolly Cup favorite in 2013. The full list of awards, along with The Star’s All-County Teams and player photos can be found on Page 8.

Sure, there were a few players back like Luc Gerdes, Ryan Urso, Brett Szajner and Aaron Scheppelman, but a majority of the players Daikawa would count on this year were new to Jamestown. But, so far, so good — especially as of late. Jamestown won it’s fifth in a row Saturday and 11th out of their last 12. One newcomer in particular, goalie Reid Mimmack, has keyed the turnaround.

“Obviously he’s done a great job for us,” Daikawa said. “But our defense in general has been better. We’re not giving up five or six point-blank opportunities like we did last year, it’s only one or two.” And while defense has been the name of the game for Daikawa since he moved to Jamestown 18 months ago, his blueliners have done a much better job getting forward, as well.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — The Buffalo Bills are finally home after spending much of the first 10 weeks of the season playing on the road. And center Eric Wood wonders if anyone will bother showing up unless they start playing better. ''I've said it before, I don't blame them,'' Wood said, noting that money's tight and winter's coming.

Unity, Depth Key To Ironmen Turnaround

When the season started just two months ago, there were plenty of reasons to be optimistic for the Jamestown Ironmen. Head coach and general manager Dan Daikawa brought in some veteran skaters to boost the offensive depth and had a pair of veteran goalies to help offset the loss of Joey Ballmer. They were a team on the rise, ready to leave the North Division cellar for bigger and better things — namely the playoffs. But, I’m not sure anyone saw this. One-third of the way into the season, the Ironmen not only hold the division lead, but also the league’s best record heading into play this weekend. The 32 points are three clear of the second best in the North Division — with a game in hand — and the Ironmen are an astonishing 16 points clear of the last playoff spot. So how in the world did it happen so quickly? “It’s a funny thing, but winning is contagious,” Daikawa said. “Part of it is team unity, though. The boys really enjoy playing with each other. We battle every day in practice and they’re having fun doing it. But winning helps.” Interesting, though, that this team has gelled so quickly. It can be the case for many junior hockey teams, but the Ironmen basically had an entirely new roster heading into the season.

College Football Playoff To Have 6 Games, Not 7 By Ralph Russo Associated Press

The Big East will compete with four conferences that have not had BCS automatic-qualifying status for a guaranteed spot in the lucrative marquee bowl games when college football's new postseason system starts in 2014 That group of five conferences just won't have a bowl of its own. The conference commissioners decided Monday during a meeting with university presidents in Denver that the new four-team playoff will rotate through six games as originally planned.

we’re going to make a move. “But for now, we don’t want to make a ton of moves because we don’t have to, but also we don’t want to ruin the chemistry we have.” The chemistry has been excellent and one place it’s showed is Jamestown’s ability to get back into game late. Last year, Jamestown never seemed to be able to close out games. This year, they’re the team scoring the late goal to send it to overtime. And boy have they enjoyed bonus hockey. They’re 4-2 in overtime this year and are winners of four in a row. “Luck,” Daikawa quipped about his team’s drastic turnaround in late game scenarios. “Confidence is a big things. The boys believe in each other, they believe in who’s on the ice. When you trust each other, it makes a big difference.” Jamestown is on the road to face Port Huron this weekend, which sits in third place in the North Division. They’ll return home for Johnstown the week after before making the crosscountry trip to Fresno, Calif. A part of the new scheduling this year, is that some teams will have to travel further out of their division. Jamestown drew the Fresno Monster and the Wenatchee (Wash.) Wild out of the West Division and will stay on the west coast for back-to-back weekends in early December.

players have scored at least five goals and eight already have 10 points this season. Gerdes has been the leader with 13 goals and 20 points, but this team might have the most depth in the entire league. “We’re fortunate to have depth,” Daikawa said. “Most teams have one or two guys they consider go-to guys, but on any given day, we feel any one of our lines could score. We’ve actually been playing four lines pretty consistently where most other teams only go three. That gives our guys an extra shift of rest.” But, that hasn’t ruﬄed the feathers of some of Jamestown’s top players? “I think everybody always wants to score more goals and have more points,” Daikawa said. “But when we score, we’re always excited as a group. If the goalscorers aren’t scoring, they’re not crying. They’re excited for their teammates to score as well.” It’s worked well so far. While Daikawa was the busiest man in the NAHL last year, looking around to find the right combination of players, he’s been able to ride things out as his team continues to win. But, as he noted, it’s still early. “I think you always have to try to make your team better,” he said. “Some times you need to just shake the team up. But if players become available and I think they can help the team,

BILLS continued from pg 1 ences for limiting late-season home games,'' McCarthy said. ''We know we are not able to make every team happy every year. But we strive to design schedules that are equitable for all 32 teams.'' The Bills schedule this season has been what even coach Chan Gailey has described as being ''unusual.'' Buffalo's played just once at home since September. They've played four of five on the road, a stretch that included consecutive games at San Francisco and Arizona, during which the Bills elected to spend the week in Phoenix rather than travel home. Coming off a 37-31 loss to New England on Sunday, the Bills ended a string of four straight road games in which they played teams either coming off bye weeks (Patriots and Houston) or had a 10-day break after playing on a Thursday (San Francisco and Arizona). According to STATS LLC, only the Philadelphia Eagles, with six, and Seattle Seahawks, five, play more games against opponents coming off extended breaks this season. Safety George Wilson called it ''odd'' but refused to make any excuses. ''It's easy to sit back and criticize the scheduling after how the first nine games have gone for us,'' Wilson said. ''But if the record was turned the other way around, we'd be feeling pretty good about the position we're in.''

Bills Can’t Escape Demons In New England

Chris Winkler COMMENTARY

Just when you thought things couldn’t possibly get any worse as a Buffalo Bills fan, Sunday happened. Again, a franchise-changing win was within reach in Foxborough. Again, it ended in an all-toofamiliar heartbreak. Yes, there have been plenty of instances over the past five-to-ten years that have made us question our allegiance to this beleaguered franchise. Just this past year had been painful enough. But as of Sunday morning, it was the first time I ever sat myself down in front of the TV knowing there was simply no chance the Bills would win. It wasn’t that mid-December, they-have-nothingto-play-for attitude. I went into the game knowing the Bills were more than alive in the playoff race with a win, but that win just wasn’t going to happen. So if there was any silver lining, I never once let the notion get into my head that Sunday was going to be different. I imagine most Bills fans felt the same way. After what felt like a blowout in the making for much of the first quarter, Buffalo hung around. Back-andforth it went in between a two-score and one-score game, but still, the outcome never felt in doubt, did it? Maybe it was just my conscious trying to save me from what lied ahead. Maybe it was just the pessimistic Buffalo sports fan taking over. Still, in the back of my mind, I wondered to myself, “Well why can’t they win this game?” And yes, there it was for the taking — seriously — with the ball, down six and a on little more than two minutes id. remaining. They had scored o touchdowns in four of their ry last six drives and had one of n the other two had end with a for fumble at the one-yard line. It didn’t take a math major to realize they were one on more touchdown — coupled with the likely winding of as the clock — away from their biggest win in more than a decade. y'veThen, almost inconspicuoad, ously the Bills lost both timec- eouts to injuries, one on an o incomplete pass. Still, there the they were moving the ball eek seamlessly down the field. el There was C.J. Spiller taking the ball all the way down to New the 15-yard line with a half s minute left. ht At that brief moment — and the ensuing incompletion to off Scott Chandler — I wanted us- to believe. I think we all did, fter but how could you? Just a few seconds before that a buddy of mine texted me just only seconds before saying “they h clearly aren’t going to win ve, this game.” All I could say - back was, “I know.” But there ed they were, in need of just 15 yards to prove us all wrong. d it But then it happened. Of any course it did. Why wouldn’t it? i- Devin McCourty intercepted w Fitz in the end zone. The one cameras panned to Brady the and Belichick breathing a r sigh of relief. The game was over. The Bills had lost for ion the 12th straight year in New England, lost for the 23rd

time in 25 games against their AFC East rival. Their season was effectively over. There have been so many painful losses in New England. The safety in 2006. The fumble in 2009. The Bills held fourth quarter leads in each, ready to turn around the feel of the franchise, but ultimately failed in each. Sunday was no different except it was our turn to come from behind. But, now you wonder if it’s ever going to be the Bills turn. I won’t say they’re cursed. You can blame the refs if you’d like, but 14 penalties for 148 yards isn’t all been bad luck. Yes, they outgained New England big time, but they didn’t force any turnovers and had two or three shots at interceptions that fell harmlessly. They gave away points in the red zone twice. Cursed? I really don’t think so. But, boy does it feel like that. Us Bills fans have always expected the worst. It’s what comes from losing four straight Super Bowls, including one by an infamous missed kick. It’s what comes from never-ending close losses and losing seasons. But, each week, when that worst actually happens, we’re still stunned. This past game and the Tennessee game earlier in the year are utterly fitting examples for this franchise. Somehow you knew it was going to happen — you envisioned it. But once it happened you couldn’t believe it actually did happen. I’m 25 years old and I still have no idea what playoff football for my team is like. Sure, I remember the Titans game in 2000 (the 1999 season), but I only remember one play — the last play. Unfortunately it’s not going to be this year, either. And, it’s hard to believe I’ll see it anytime soon. Sure, I liked what I saw from basically the whole team on Sunday — even the defense, which got stops in the fourth when they had to — but the problems are still obvious. Stay with Gailey and Fitzpatrick because they’re good enough to almost beat New England? If you say yes, have you really forgotten about the home New England game or the beating in San Francisco? I suppose it could be a better option than starting from scratch all over again with a new coach and new quarterback, but how that just pathetic. This team will rebound, they always do. Five of their last seven games are against teams under .500. The two that aren’t — against rookie quarterbacks with Indianapolis and Seattle — are hardly impossible games. If they play like they did Sunday, they can probably get back to .500, but too many close losses will be their demise. Still, what does it matter? It’s another lost game and lost season that blend into the past 12 so fluently. The ineptitude of this franchise to do something big when it matters is simply uncanny. They’re always the team making that one big mistake that forces them to lose. They’re good enough to be amongst the league’s mediocrity, but not quite playoffworthy. Have we heard that before? Will it ever change? I think we all know the answer to that one. Now that is life as a Bills fan.

St. Bonaventure Leads Toys For Tots Drive Contributed Article

St. Bonaventure Sports Information

ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. — The St. Bonaventure baseball team will work again with the Southern Tier Child Advocacy Center (STCAC) this holiday season for the 2012 Toys for Tots Program. During the men's basketball home game against Siena on Tuesday, Dec. 4 at 7 p.m., the team will collect new toys for the upcoming holiday season. Players from the baseball team will be present to accept new toys for the program along with boxes set up throughout the Reilly Center so fans may donate throughout the game. All new toys will be accepted, said Reggie Dallaire, STCAC coordinator. The toys collected during the Dec. 4 game, along with all the other toys collected throughout the Toys for Tots campaign, will stay in the Southern Cattaraugus County region. According to Dallaire, more than 2,000 toys were dis-

tributed to Allegany, Hinsdale, Olean and Portville children last holiday season. For those who will not be able to attend the game on Dec. 4, donation boxes will be set up at every financial institution and many Olean businesses. Parents and guardians who cannot provide gifts for their children during the holiday season may apply for the program by signing up at the Tops Friendly Market located at 2401 West

State Street in Olean. About Toys for Tots: The program was created in 1947 by Major Bill Hendricks, USCR and Marine Reservists in the Los Angeles area. It exploded into a national campaign supported by the U.S. Marine Corps in 1948. Toys for Tots took both old and new toys until 1979, when legal concerns around the thought that distributing "hand-medown" toys would send a poor

message to need children. The Southern Cattaraugus County branch of the program was founded in 1988. About Southern Tier Child Advocacy Center: STCAC is a branch of the Southern Tier Health Care System, located in Olean's Blue Bird Square, STCAC's mission statement is "to provide a coordinated, multi-disciplinary approach to child victims of sexual and physical abuse."

A controversial finish ended the match undecided, when MFW Senior Official Phil Berdyck counted Big Time's shoulders down to the mat, as Territto counted Primal Warpath's shoulders down at the same exact time. As the two arguing officials

raised both Collier and Warpath's hands in victory, Rockstar and Kwan Chang from The Uprising, Ryot and Rick Abbey charged the ring, punching, stomping and kicking the two exhausted champions. The Gunfighters, who provide

security at MFW events accompanied by Shadokat stormed the ring in defense of the champions. Gunfighter MC Buffalo Chapter President, Ravyn, called "The Legion" for back up. “It's no wonder Malice and Nitro are allies of Primal Warpath and his motorcycle club, The Gunfighters” states MFW owner Dave Coia, Jr. “The Legion are honorary Gunfighter Supporters. It's rumored that these two from Michigan are demons made of molten steel!” Legion joins Primal Warpath, Big Time Bill Collier, and Shadokat, to take on GM Jon T's team of Ryot, Rick Abbey, Kwan Chang, Rockstar and a special Enforcer as teams of five strive to survive in a tag team elimination match for the main event. More great matches will be on the card in this two-hour event, which starts at 7 p.m. Wrestling memorabilia and collectables will also be for sale at the show. Presale tickets are available at P&G food Store on Central Ave in Dunkirk and at Gamerz Haven in the D&F Plaza.

beat,'' said Jerry Palm, of CBS Sports and collegebcs.com. As for Alabama's run at three championships in four seasons, and the Southeastern Conference's string of six straight BCS titles, both are in peril. Five SEC teams follow Alabama in the standings: Georgia, Florida, LSU, Texas A&M and South Carolina. But it will take a couple of upsets to give the SEC champion a shot to reach the BCS title game. Kansas State is second in both BCS polls — the coaches' and Harris — and in the computer rankings. The Wildcats have two games left, at Baylor on Saturday and home against

Texas on Dec. 1, the day of most of the conference championship games. Oregon is first in the both polls and fourth in the computer ratings. The Ducks have two more regular-season games left, against Stanford on Saturday and the next week at Oregon State. They can clinch the Pac-12 North and a spot in the conference title game with a win against Stanford. If they get there, the Ducks would play either UCLA or Southern California in the league title game. If the Ducks and Wildcats can avoid the type of upset that dropped Alabama — and there are plenty of good teams

NEW YORK — Mike Trout and Bryce Harper were teammates on the Scottsdale Scorpions last fall. The outfielders arrived in the major leagues on the same April day this year, both played in the All-Star Game and they won Rookie of the Year awards a half-hour apart Monday, the vanguard of baseball's next generation. The 21-year-old Trout was a unanimous pick as the youngest AL rookie winner, and the 20-year-old Harper edged Arizona pitcher Wade Miley 112 points to 105 to become the second-youngest winner of the NL honor. "It's pretty neat," said Trout, the son of former Minnesota minor leaguer Jeff Trout. For the first time, players learned the voting results when they were announced on television. "My heart was beating a little bit," Harper said. Trout, who turned 21 on Aug. 7, received all 28 first-place votes from the AL panel of the Baseball Writers' Association of America. The Los Angeles Angels center fielder was the eighth unanimous AL pick and the first since Tampa Bay's Evan Longoria in 2008. There could be more to come, too. Trout is among five finalists for AL MVP and is considered the chief challenger to Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera for that award, which will be announced Thursday. "It would just top it off," Trout said.

The Irish play Wake Forest on Saturday and are at USC two days after Thanksgiving. Alabama (or Georgia or Florida, which could also both win the SEC with just one loss) needs two of the top three to lose to get to the title game no matter how it finishes.

Trout hit .326, second-best in the league to Cabrera's .330, with 30 homers and 83 RBIs, and he led the majors with 129 runs and 49 steals. He joined Ted Williams, Mel Ott and Alex Rodriguez as the only players to hit .320 or higher with 30 or more homers in seasons they started as a 20-year-old. Trout received the maximum 140 points. Oakland outfielder Yoenis Cespedes was second with 63, followed by Texas pitcher Yu Darvish (46), who joined Trout as the only players listed on every ballot. Detroit second baseman Lou Whitaker had been the youngest AL winner in 1978, but he was 3 months, 5 days older than Trout on the day he took home the award. In addition to Trout and Longoria, the only other unanimous AL winners were Nomar Garciaparra, Derek Jeter, Tim Salmon, Sandy Alomar Jr., Mark McGwire and Carlton Fisk. Trout's father made it to Double-A as an infielder with the Twins in the mid-1980s and watched his son build a career growing up in New Jersey, where the seasons are short and cold. "He went out and did it and endured it," Jeff Trout said. Added mom Debbie: "All the hard work paid off." Trout, taken by the Angels with the 25th overall pick in the 2009 amateur draft, still lives at home with his parents during the offseason. The award will join others in the family house.

plan. It was a different story during Saturday’s game, as the Ironmen executed seemingly without any resistance from the opposing team. “We had a conversation after Friday’s game and decided that we can’t let any opportunities pass by us. There are plenty of scouts in the stands, and we need to show them what our team is capable of every chance we get.” said Daikawa. Daikawa’s words must have struck a chord with his players as Jamestown completed their fifth weekend sweep of the season while extending their home win streak to nine in a row. The Ironmen defense paved the way for goaltender Reid Mimmack, as he tallied nineteen saves, improving his record to 12-2 on the season. Assists were credited to Michael Mazzotta, Pavek, Gerdes (2) and Evan Ritt in the win. Friday was a physical competition from the very beginning and it certainly wasn’t pretty, but in the end, Jamestown had won their eighth straight home game. Janesville attempted to throw them off their game with brute force. The Jets antagonized from the opening faceoff, using their

physicality to get under the skin of the home team players. It worked to some degree, as the product was a ‘sloppy game’ according to the Ironmen head coach Dan Daikawa. “They had a good game plan, and it put us off our game a bit. Janesville was winning the little battles early on.” Both squads traded goals in the first period, with Jamestown’s score coming from Luc Gerdes, who leads the team with 12 goals on the season. Assists went to Victor Johansson and Tyler Dunagan. There was no more scoring throughout regulation, but there were plenty of penalty minutes to go around. Jamestown tallied up 33 minutes of penalty time and one game ejection on 11 whistles while the Jets wound up with 51 minutes on 11 infractions. The under matched Jets looked to pick a fight every chance they got, and the game stood tied, 1-1 as time ran out in the third. The division foes headed into a 4-on-4 sudden death overtime where Ryan Urso sealed the victory for the Ironmen with a goal 2:14 into the extra period. Assists came from Aaron Scheppelman and

Dunagan. “In the end, we figured a way to win, but you can never win as individuals,” emphasized Coach Daikawa. “If we want to continue to be successful, we have to get back on our game and execute as a team.” The NAHL North Division leading Jamestown Ironmen will hit the road next weekend for a pair of games against Port Huron (11-9-1).

On Friday, the native of Roseau, Minn., had a goal and two assists as the Bobcats were edged 4-3 by the Blizzard. On Saturday, Knochenmus chipped in with four assists as the Bobcats beat the Austin Bruins, 5-1. For the weekend, Knochenmus had a goal and six assists for seven points and was a +5. He is tied for the team lead in points with 20. “Adam is our leader and we had been struggling a little to score, so it was nice to see him produce some points,” said Bismarck head coach Layne Sedevie. “What is more important is that he played well against two really good teams that are at the top of our division right now, so that really makes a statement about his ability to

come through in the clutch.”

South Division Star of the Week: Sean Gaffney, forward, Topeka RoadRunners

No one in the NAHL has more points to date than Topeka forward Sean Gaffney. The 20-year-old from Plymouth, Mich., had another point-producing weekend as the RoadRunners split their home series with the Amarillo Bulls. On Friday, Gaffney matched an NAHL season-high with five points in one game as he recorded five assists in Topeka’s 5-2 win. On Saturday, he recorded a goal in a 4-2 loss. For the weekend, Gaffney had six points and he currently leads the NAHL in points with 30.

“Sean is one of the best twoway forwards I have had the opportunity to coach,” said RoadRunners head coach Scott Langer. “He continues to be one of the hardest working players day in and day out. He also takes a lot of pride in his academics and is a very driven player in every aspect from the game. Sean's play has brought a lot of college attention and it is very deserving. This past weekend’s performance proved that when your best players are needed, he will show up.”

West Division Star of the Week: Kyle Lee, forward, Fairbanks Ice Dogs

19-year-old forward Kyle Lee was the offensive star of the

weekend for the Ice Dogs as they split a weekend home series with in-state rival Kenai River. The native of Wausau, Wis., registered two goals and three assists for five points over the weekend. On Friday, Lee scored both Fairbanks goals in a close 3-2 loss to the Brown Bears. Both of Lee’s goals came on the power play. On Saturday, Lee had three assists and was a +3 in a 5-2 win. His 21 points to date leads the Ice Dogs in scoring. “Kyle had a great weekend, but it resulted from a lot of hard work on his part,” said Ice Dogs head coach Trevor Stewart. “He is proving each passing weekend that he can be an elite player at this level.”

2012 CHASE CONTENDERS Chase Chart Following the AdvoCare 500 at Phoenix International Raceway

1. Brad Keselowski 2371 (finished sixth) A steady run at Phoenix coupled with the misfortunes of Jimmie Johnson put him in position to clinch his first Sprint Cup championship with a finish of 15th or better in this weekend’s finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway. 2. Jimmie Johnson -20 (finished 32nd) He entered the Phoenix race with a seven-point lead and having scored maximum points in the two most recent races. His No. 48 Chevrolet never really showed the speed it has in recent weeks, and he blew a tire and hit the wall on Lap 234. His crew patched up the car, but he’s in a deep points hole heading into Homestead. “We still have to go to Homestead and race, and anything can happen down there,” he said. 3. Kasey Kahne -50 (finished fourth) Despite several strong runs in recent weeks, he was eliminated from championship contention.

Hot in Phoenix

Penultimate race sets exciting bar for Homestead finale

n theory, NASCAR’s highest drama of the season should come at HomesteadMiami Speedway this weekend as the sanctioning body’s top three series race one last time to decide three championships. But it’ll be hard to produce enough excitement to overshadow the events of the final 85 laps of Sunday’s AdvoCare 500 at Phoenix International Raceway. In that relatively short stretch of racing, Jimmie Johnson, who entered the weekend seven points up on second-place Brad Keselowski, blew a tire and crashed into the wall. After his 32nd-place finish, he’s 20 points down. Then, with the checkered flag in sight, Clint Bowyer, then third in the standings and still with an outside shot at the championship, was intentionally wrecked by Jeff Gordon, touching off a brawl among the two teams. When the track was cleared, the field took off on a green-white-checkered run to the finish. But Danica Patrick, having the best run of her Cup career, was wrecked by Jeff Burton. NASCAR officials, in a controversial move, left the green flag flying, and a host of drivers wrecked on the frontstretch when they ran into oil leaked from Patrick’s car. Kevin Harvick, who is apparently leaving his Richard Childress Racing team after next season, won. Keselowski, who narrowly escaped serious damage in the Gordon incident and in the Patrick wreck, still finished sixth, but he was among the angriest in his post-race interview. He lashed out at his peers and some in

the press who had been critical of his racing Johnson so hard in the closing laps the week before at Texas, but seemed to enjoy the exchange between Gordon and Bowyer. “It just drives me absolutely crazy that I get lambasted for racing somebody hard without there even being a wreck, and then you see stuff like this [at Phoenix], and that’s OK, from the same people that criticized me,” he said. “It’s OK to just take somebody out, but you race somebody hard, put a fender on somebody and try to go for the win, and you’re an absolute villain, and that’s ridiculous.” He said retaliatory moves like the one Gordon pulled on Bowyer are not what NASCAR needs. “It needs hard racing, it needs people that go for broke, try to win races and put it all out there on the line, not a bunch of people that have anger issues,” he said. “That’s not good for anybody, and it really hurt my feelings to be a part of a Chase race for the championship and have that jeopardized from people that can’t keep control of their emotions.” Gordon stood his ground and offered no apology. “Things just got escalated over the year, and I’d just had it,” he said of his encounter with Bowyer. “Clint has run into me numerous times, wrecked me, and he got into me on the back straightaway and pretty much ruined our day. I’ve had it, fed up with it and I got him back.” Harvick, in his winner’s interview, indicated that he could be counted among those who liked the additional excitement that a melee brings. “The sport was made on fights,” he said. “They’re not always fun to be in.

NOTEBOOK

Logano wins Nationwide race Joey Logano, who is leaving Joe Gibbs Racing after this weekend to drive for Penske Racing, hasn’t had much to brag about on the Sprint Cup side with a win at Pocono, one other top five and a 17th-place points effort so far. But his part-time gig in Gibbs’ Nationwide Series cars has been spectacular. On Saturday at Phoenix International Raceway he started on the pole and led 168 of 204 laps to get his ninth win in 22 starts. Logano said that he’s not regretting his career choice, even though it means he’ll racing against Gibbs’ powerful Nationwide cars next year. “It’s definitely going to be hard,” he said. “I know those Penske guys have strong cars. You saw Brad Joey Logano [Keselowski] up there rac(NASCAR photo) ing for the win today with me. That makes me excited about my future over there. “I feel like I’m definitely making a good move by doing that, but we still want to finish off this on the best note we can.” And he thanked the Gibbs family for what they’ve done for him throughout his career. “I appreciate everything Joe [Gibbs, team owner] and J.D. [Gibbs, general manager] have given me, the opportunities throughout the years, being there since I was 15,” he said. “It’s cool to be out there winning races and it’s bittersweet, but

Sometimes you’re on the wrong end. But fights are what made NASCAR what it is.” NASCAR on Monday fined Gordon $100,000, docked him 25 points and placed him on probation for the rest of the season along with his crew chief Alan Gustafson. Bowyer’s crew chief Brian Pattie was fined $25,000 and placed on probation. Both crew chiefs were penalized because they’re responsible for the actions of their driver and crew. Keselowski was fined $25,000 and placed on probation for carrying his cell phone in his car.

4. Clint Bowyer -52 (finished 28th) His late-race run-ins with Jeff Gordon on the race track led to a melee at the garage. Bowyer’s team owner Michael Waltrip described Gordon’s retaliation as a “cowardly, chicken move by someone that has raced for championships before and knows how important every position is.” 5. Denny Hamlin -62 (finished second) He was strong early on at Phoenix, leading twice for 46 laps, but couldn’t catch Harvick at the finish. He said Goodyear’s tire compound hampered him. “We’re running on such hard tires,” he said. “You can’t get a grip on it.” 6. Matt Kenseth -74 (finished 14th) Even though he’s a lame duck at Roush Fenway Racing, he’s been the team’s best performer in the Chase with two wins, but he’s also had four finishes of 14th. 7. Greg Biffle -78 (finished seventh) Despite being involved in a last-lap crash, he wound up with one of his better Chase finishes. “We came back from not having a very good car to being really good,” he said. 8. Kevin Harvick -86 (finished first) All the pre-race talk was about reports that he’s moving to Stewart-Haas Racing in 2014, then he went out and won for the first time in 44 starts, dating all the way back to September 2011, at Richmond. “We didn’t get the year we wanted, but to come out with a win, it was big,” he said. 9. Tony Stewart -87 (finished 19th) The defending Chase winner once again was a no-show at the front of the pack. He was involved in a wreck on Lap 282, but his crew patched up the No. 14 Chevrolet and he salvaged a top-20 finish. 10. Martin Truex Jr. -111 (finished 43rd) Phoenix was a new low as his engine blew after just 10 laps. “I felt like we had a shot at challenging for a win, but it wasn’t meant to be,” he said. 11. Jeff Gordon -115 (finished 30th) He apparently had enough of Clint Bowyer’s tactics and intentionally crashed him just before the finish, setting off a multi-car crash and a brawl in the garage. He didn’t sound too worried about any penalties from NASCAR officials. “They’ve got to do what they’ve got to do, and I guess I had to do what I had to do,” he said.

I’m also looking forward.” Logano also will drive Penske’s No. 22 Ford in the Sprint Cup series. Brian Vickers, who is moving into a full-time Nationwide ride with Gibbs next season, finished second at Phoenix in his first start with the team. He passed Logano at one point in the closing laps but lost the lead shortly thereafter. “I guess it’s a good day when you can be disappointed with second,” he said. “It was still a great day and a great way to get next year started.”

Non-Chase formats still tight Drivers in the Nationwide and Camping World Truck Series are showing that it’s possible to have a tight points race going into the season finale even without a Chase format to re-set the points late in the season. In the Nationwide Series, Elliott Sadler and defending champion Ricky Stenhouse Jr. went into the next-to-last race of the season, at Phoenix, tied at the top, but left with Stenhouse holding a 20point lead over Sadler and Austin Dillon in third, 22 out of the lead. The change occurred after Sadler, for the second straight year, had a bad race at Phoenix. He struggled throughout the race after wrecking his primary car in practice, then wrecked again late in the race and finished 22nd while Stenhouse finished third, with Dillon sixth. Stenhouse said it’s way too early to begin celebrating. “It’s a deal where we’ve given up 20 points in one race, so it’s not even close to over,” he said. And even though Stenhouse is set to move to a full-time Cup ride in the No. 6 Ford at Roush Fenway Racing next season, he still very much wants the Nationwide title.

12. Dale Earnhardt Jr. -160 (finished 21st) The two races he missed while recovering from concussions seemed to have taken the spirit from his team. He was never a factor at Phoenix.

“I think as a race car driver you come out to win championships,” he said. “You want to win races, but championships are what last for a long time. Last year was special. It felt like we didn’t have a dominant year last year, so even though it was still a championship, it didn’t feel like a championship year. “This year has felt like it’s been a championship year, so it would be huge.” In the Camping World Truck Series race at Phoenix, points leader James Buescher was set to pad his points lead but blew a tire and smacked the wall in the closing laps. His 17th-place finish allowed fourth-finishing Timothy Peters to jump back in the points race as he’s now second, 11 points out of the lead with Ty Dillon in third, 12 points back. Joey Coulter, who was 43 points back entering Phoenix, finished third and now sits fourth, 29 back and still mathematically in the running as is Parker Kligerman, who is 37 points out of the lead. Peters said that he’s just glad to be in the title hunt with one race remaining. “It feels good to be in this position,” he said. “We’ve got a shot. That’s all we can ask for.” Nationwide Series regular Brian Scott won Friday’s Lucas Oil 150 at Phoenix, but he saw much of the attention focused on rookie Kyle Larson, who finished second after leading 43 laps in just his third truck series start. Larson had the lead heading into a green-white-checkered-flag finish but was passed by Scott on the last restart. “What a talent,” Scott said of Larson. “I haven’t even seen him around really, and then he’s up there and he’s challenging for the win and leading this thing. “He’s going to win a lot of races … He’s going to have a lot of success and it’s fun to race people like that.”

St. Bonaventure Sports Information

Trailing by five at halftime, the St. Bonaventure women's basketball team used a 12-0 run in the middle of the second half to grab the lead away from the Purple Eagles and they never looked back. The Bonnies struggled mightily in the first half shooting the ball. As a team they shot just 24 percent (6-25) from the floor and 8-14 from the free throw line. As a team they went 8-8 from the charity stripe Saturday afternoon in their season opener. Doris Ortega led the scoring in the first half for SBU with six despite going 1-8 from the floor. She knocked down 4-6 from the line and grabbed five boards. With time winding down in the first half and Niagara in full control of the game, freshman Nyla Rueter came from the weak side to block the potential buzzer beating lay-in. That play appeared to energize the Bonnies heading into the locker room. In the second half, preseason Big 4 Player of the Year Kayla Stroman scored nine straight points for the Purple Eagles to maintain their lead. Trailing 38-32, the Bonnies would use a 12-0 over the next six minutes to grab the lead that they would never relinquish. Freshman forward Katie Healy and senior guard Alaina Walker took over. Healy worked the post like a veteran scoring six of her 12 points during that 12-0 run. Walker would collect three of her season and team high-tying 10 rebounds during that run as well. With 8:05 to play, SBU held a six point advantage, their largest of the game, but that was as comfortable as it would get. Vanessa Neal cut the lead to four with a lay-up then knocked down deep three to bring Niagara within one 5:37 to play. Just eight seconds later however, Bonnies junior guard Ashely Zahn, who scored a career high 14 points on Saturday, drilled a three from the wing to answer. Zahn would

finish would seven points on 2-6 shooting from distance. Niagara's Lauren Gatto scored the last of her 12 points with 4:40 to play, cutting the SBU lead to 47-45. Doris Ortega followed that up by knocking down two of her eight made free throws bringing the Bona lead back to four. On the very next possession for the Bonnies, Ortega worked her way into the paint and converted the eventual gamewinner, giving the Bonnies a 51-45 lead with 3:30 to play. The Bonnies failed to connect on the front of two, one and one opportunities allowing Niagara to creep within two, but fortunately for the Bonnies, the Purple Eagles ran out of time. It was the third career doubledouble for Doris Ortega. A much improved effort from Ortega compared to Saturday when she put up just two points and one rebound. Alaina Walker scored seven points and grabbed 10 boards which was also a vast improvement over her zero points, four rebound performance against Binghamton. With the win today, the Bonnies have now won 14-straight true road games. They went undefeated (13-0) on the road in 2011-12. The Bonnies are in action again on Friday (Nov. 16) at home against Colgate. Tip-off is set for 7:00 p.m. in the Reilly Center. The Bonnies defeated the Red Raiders on the road last season 68-49 after trailing 28-27 at halftime. SBU put five players in double figures to outscore Colgate 41-21 in the second half. GAME NOTES: SBU shot 30.8 percent (16-52) in the win, holding Niagara 36.7 percent (18-49). CeCe Dixon scored six points on 2-5 shooting from 3-point range. In addition to her seven points and 10 rebounds, Walker collected three assists and two steals. Freshman Katie Healy followed up her 12 point, seven rebound performance in her career debut with 12 points and four caroms tonight. Jordan McGee added three points, three rebounds, a block and a steal.

Jackson Ruled Out For Thursday Night With Concussion By John Wawrow Associated Press

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Bills running back Fred Jackson is out with a concussion, and there's at least one teammate who's unhappy with how Patriots linebacker Brandon Spikes celebrated after delivering the blow. ''Yeah, he'll get his,'' backup running back Tashard Choice said on Monday. ''I don't like to see nobody get hurt, and then on top of that (Spikes) making fun of him while he's on the ground.'' Choice was referring to how Spikes flexed his arm and then mouthed off at Jackson and several Bills players while the running back was down late in the fourth quarter of a 3731 loss at New England. ''You know it's cool to make a big hit,'' Choice said. ''But it's not cool when somebody's down like that.'' Coach Chan Gailey announced Jackson was diagnosed with a concussion and will not play Thursday, when the Bills (3-6) host AFC East rival Miami (4-5). Gailey said Jackson began not feeling well during the team's flight home. Tests taken Monday morning confirmed that he had sustained a concussion. Jackson was hurt at the end of a 9-yard catch and run, when he lowered his head while being swarmed by three New England defenders. Spikes got to Jackson first, lunging into the running back with his left forearm striking Jackson directly on the helmet. Jackson fell immediately to the ground and fumbled the

ball, which was recovered by center Eric Wood. After being treated by trainers, Jackson appeared woozy while making his way to the sideline. He did not return, though the Bills final drive ended four plays later when quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick's pass intended for rookie T.J. Graham, was intercepted by safety Devin McCourty. Spikes was not penalized on the play. He was penalized for roughing the passer earlier in the game, when he lunged headfirst into Fitzpatrick with enough force to knock off the quarterback's helmet. Fitzpatrick took issue with Spikes following the game. ''I think he's a punk at times,'' Fitzpatrick had said. ''He's not high on my list.'' Spikes was not available because Patriots players have two days off. Updating the status of other injured players, Gailey said defensive end Chris Kelsay has a 50-50 shot of playing Thursday after a neck injury

forced him to miss the game against New England. Gailey added, defensive end Mark Anderson had surgery last week to repair a left knee injury, and will miss at least two more weeks. Jackson's injury means the Bills will be without half of their formidable one-two punch of a running attack that includes co-starter C.J. Spiller. The two have combined for 1,410 yards from scrimmage — nearly half of Buffalo's 3,228 yards offense — and accounted for nine of 24 touchdowns scored on offense. Buffalo ranks sixth in the NFL in yards rushing and second in averaging 5.3 yards per carry. Jackson has already missed two games after spraining his right knee in a seasonopening 48-28 loss to the New York Jets. Spiller also capably filled in last year in a full-time role after Jackson missed the final six games with a broken bone in his right leg. ''As an offense, we're definitely

going to miss him because he brings so much to our team,'' said Spiller, who leads NFL running backs in average 7.3 yards a carry. ''But this is familiar territory for me.'' The Bills have been careful to limit Spiller's carries even when Jackson's been out. His career high came last year, when he had 19 carries in a 2824 loss to the New York Jets. ''I'm not worried about how many times I touch it. I'm just pretty much, from here on out, just worried about wins,'' Spiller said. ''I'm just trying to help my team win so we can experience what it feels like to play in the playoffs.'' That's a long-shot at best for a Bills team that's lost five of six and finds itself in jeopardy of extending its postseason drought to 13 seasons. Gailey remains upbeat about the Bills chances to make a run, and is encouraged after seeing signs of the team playing better in its past two games, including a 21-9 loss at Houston two weeks ago. ''We did not win, but we played fairly well against two of the best teams in the AFC,'' Gailey said. ''And I think if we will continue to get better that will help us with the future and the rest of our schedule.'' NOTES: The Bills announced the game Thursday is a sellout. The team said at least 10,000 tickets are available for each of its ﬁnal three games at Ralph Wilson Stadium this season. ... The Bills signed DB Delano Howell to their practice squad three days after he was released from the team's active roster. ... The Bills 35 ﬁrst downs against New England set a team record.

Bush Out Of The Doghouse As Dolphins Regroup By Steven Wine Associated Press

MIAMI (AP) — Reggie Bush is out of coach Joe Philbin's doghouse, which might not be large enough to house all of the deserving Miami Dolphins. Bush and teammate Richie Incognito were benched for unty part of Sunday's 37-3 loss to Tennessee, but they were hardly the only culprits in the Dolphins' most lopsided home defeat since 1968. ''It was an uncharacteristic performance by the whole ballclub,'' Philbin said Monday. The defeat was Miami's second in a row, a deflating development for a team hoping to end a streak of three consecutive losing seasons and perhaps even sneak into the playoffs. The Dolphins (4-5) must regroup quickly before playing Thursday at Buffalo in their lone primetime game this year. Despite the short week, Philbin felt the need to review the meltdown against the Titans with his team. ''When you play like that, we need to make some corrections,'' Philbin said. ''We need to make improvements, even though we're in a semi-time crunch.'' Bush's mistake was very publicly noted. He lost a fumble six minutes into the game to set up the Titans' first score, spent the rest of the first half yearon the sideline and carried nty, only four times for 21 yards. Philbin seemed ready to put

the matter in the past, at least unless Bush coughs the ball up again. He has committed three fumbles and lost two this season. ''He's not in any doghouse that I know of,'' Philbin said. ''The guy shows up, he practices hard, works hard and is competitive. He is very, very professional.'' Incognito, long labeled among the NFL's dirtiest players, was called for unnecessary roughness to take Miami out of field-goal range in the second quarter and was briefly yanked from the game. Philbin said he has a tough standard when it comes to players taking accountability for their mistakes. ''A zero tolerance policy,''

he said. ''A coach's job is to prepare players to perform well. Their job is to perform. We have to put them in a position to be successful. That mesh didn't get done Sunday. It's on us, it's on them, it's on me ultimately, because I'm the head coach. ''We — meaning coaches and players — have to do a better job. With these guys, the proof will be in the pudding, but I suspect they have a high level of accountability.'' Bush and Incognito said they understood why Philbin benched them. ''I made a mistake, and he wanted to address it then and there,'' Incognito said. ''So, it was handled.'' Said Bush: ''I've got to do

a better job protecting the ball. I've been in this league long enough to where I know protecting the ball is the most important thing as a running back. I didn't even deserve to go back into the game.'' After a fast start this season, Bush is averaging only 45 yards rushing over the past seven games. He's on pace to fall shy of 1,000 yards. ''I have to apologize to Dolphin Nation,'' he tweeted. ''My performance these past few weeks has been poor & I'm embarrassed right now! You guys deserve better.'' The entire team has backslid the past two weeks. The ground game and run defense — which had been the strengths of the team — no longer look so formidable. And rookie quarterback Ryan Tannehill's steady progress stalled Sunday, when he threw three interceptions. Tannehill has only five touchdown passes this year, which ranks 33rd in the 32-team NFL. His passer rating of 73.2 is 29th. The offense he directs hasn't scored a TD in the past six quarters. However, Tannehill did win praise for risking his health after his third interception, when he made an open-field tackle on 242-pound linebacker Zach Brown. ''I was delighted,'' Philbin said. ''He's a football player. I said damn good tackle. If you're playing football, you'd better stop a guy from scoring a touchdown.'' That's one way to stay out of the coach's doghouse.

Bills Add Butler, Welch To Fill Holes Contributed Article Associated Press

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — The Buffalo Bills have signed cornerback Crezdon Butler and offensive tackle Thomas Welch to address two injury-depleted positions. Butler was signed off the Cardinals' practice squad after splitting time this season on the active rosters of Arizona and Washington. He's appeared in eight NFL games, and was

selected in the fifth round of the 2010 draft by Pittsburgh. Welch has been a free agent since being released by Philadelphia before the start of this season. He was selected in the seventh round of the 2010 draft by New England. Welch has appeared in eight games split between the Patriots and St. Louis. The signings, announced Wednesday, came a day after the Bills placed right tackle Erik Pears and cornerback Terrence McGee on seasonending injured reserve.

Sabres Lend Helping Hand To Hurricane Relief Eﬀorts Contributed Article Buﬀalo Sabres

No Progress Made In New Round Of NHL Labor Talks By Ira Podell

BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Buffalo Sabres Foundation and Buffalo Sabres Alumni Association today hosted an event that will provide more than 40,000 meals — 5,000 of which will be sent to the hardest-hit areas of New York City and New Jersey in the wake of Hurricane Sandy — to under-fed kids and families throughout the community. The event, held in partnership with Lutheran Charities of Western New York, took place on the arena floor of First Niagara Center. “Buffalo has a reputation as a city where neighbors look after neighbors and we all strive to make our community the best it possibly can be,” said Buffalo Sabres President Ted Black. “As an organization, the Sabres recognized this very pressing need for assistance to under-fed families throughout this area and, after last week's storm, the many people downstate who need a little help. Friday’s event will go a long way in helping out these people and showing that their neighbors are here to support them.” More than 150 volunteers including several Sabres alumni worked to pack the meals that were loaded on trucks and sent out for delivery. 5,000 of the meals will be immediately driven to the New York City/New Jersey area to help stock

food pantries and mobile kitchens that are providing relief to those affected by last week’s devastating storm. "We have 38,000 kids in WNY who aren't sure where their next nutritious meal is coming from,” said Steve Biegner, executive director of Lutheran Charities. “And now, due to Hurricane Sandy, our brothers and sisters on the New York and New Jersey shorelines face that same problem. We're so thankful that the Sabres organizations have stepped into this gap with

Lutheran Charities to fill the need.” The meals that are being packaged are part of an initiative to package 100,000 nutritious meals in WNY in the 2012-13 school year. Matthew Martin, director of Outreach Inc's Kid's Meal Packaging Program, is responsible for bringing all the materials and food supplies to the sites throughout the community. He will complete packaging his group's one millionth meal to feed hungry kids during Friday’s event.

Rochester Americans

Big Third Period Gives Rochester Win Over Syracuse SYRACUSE, N.Y. — The Rochester Americans scored three times in the third period to break a tie game and cruise to a 5-2 victory over the Syracuse Crunch at War Memorial at Oncenter on Saturday night. Five different players scored for Rochester in the win, with Marcus Foligno’s three-point night leading the way. The line of Foligno (1+2), Evan Rankin (1+1) and Brian Flynn (1+1) combined for seven points on the night while Nick Tarnasky and T.J. Brennan also scored for the Amerks. Goaltender David Leggio stopped 24 of 26 shots to earn the win in net as the Amerks snapped a brief two-game losing streak and defeated the Crunch for the second time this season. Richard Panik and Cory Conacher each scored for Syracuse, while goaltender Riku Helenius stopped 18 of 23 shots. After a scoreless first period, Tarnasky put the Amerks ahead with his third goal of the season just 5:28 into the second stanza. Maxime Legault, who emerged

with possession of the puck following a scramble along the left half-wall, circled to the high slot and unleashed a quick shot to the net-front, where Tarnasky was left unattended to deflect it past Helenius for the go-ahead goal. Former Crunch Rick Schofield would also earn an assist on the play to make it a 1-0 game. The lead would not last long, though, as the Crunch responded less than four minutes later with a power-play goal from Panik. Alex Killorn made a nice play at the blueline to keep the puck in the Amerks’ zone with a pass to Devos in the low right corner. Devos would then elude a defender and feed a centering pass to Panik, who one-touched it to the back of the net for his

fourth goal of the season at 9:17 to knot the contest up at one apiece. The Amerks regained the lead at 12:16 of the second period as Rankin redirected Alex Biega’s shot from the top of the right circle to put Rochester back on top, 2-1. Foligno corralled a loose puck behind the Syracuse net and found Biega open at the right point. Biega, in an effort to avoid pressure from an attacking Crunch player, sent a low shot along the ice and Rankin, who darted out from the right corner, was able to get his stick on it for his fourth goal of the season. With the goal, Rankin has now collected points in eight of his last nine games. Syracuse rallied again in the

early stages of the third period as Conacher batted Ondrej Palat’s rebound out of mid-air to even the game up at 2-2. Leggio made the initial save on Palat’s shot from the point, but the rebound would bounce straight up, allowing the reigning AHL MVP and Rookie of the Year to knock it into the open net for his team-leading seventh tally of the season. Rochester then responded with three unanswered goals to take the lead and ultimately secure the victory. First, Foligno converted on Rankin’s centering pass from the corner to give the Amerks a 3-2 advantage at 6:12. Just over three minutes later, Brennan picked the top right corner of the net with a wrist shot from the left circle at 9:38 to put the visitors up by a pair. Flynn then rounded out the scoring with less than two minutes to play when he knocked Foligno’s rebound into the Crunch net, giving the Amerks a 5-2 lead. The Amerks travel north of the border on Wednesday, Nov. 14 to face the North Division rival Hamilton Bulldogs for the third time in as many weeks. The special school day game is slated for a 10 a.m. start at Copps Coliseum.

Hodgson Out Indefinitely ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) — Buffalo Sabres center Cody Hodgson is out indefinitely after breaking a bone in his right hand during a game with the team’s American Hockey League affiliate. Rochester coach Ron Rolston says Hodgson will miss at least a few weeks before having his injury evaluated. Hodgson told the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle he was hurt after being slashed by Adirondack’s Brandon Manning in a game Oct. 27. Hodgson wore a splint in a game against Hamilton on Friday, before being sidelined the following day. He has a goal and nine assists in nine games with Rochester. Acquired by Buffalo in a trade with Vancouver in February, Hodgson is coming off his first full NHL season. The 2008 first-round draft pick was eligible to play in the minors during the NHL lockout.

NEW YORK (AP) — Both sides in the NHL labor fight seem willing to talk. The problem is neither group likes what is being said at the other end of the table. Negotiations restarted Sunday following a one-day break, but they were over about 90 minutes after they began. And what is worse, there is no clear plan for them to get going again. Only the hot-button issue of player-contract terms was on the agenda Sunday. The players' side felt NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman was saying that there was no room for bargaining. Once the union heard that, it saw no reason to keep talking. ''The owners made it clear there is no give with respect to their proposals unless the players are willing to take them — this is my phrase, not theirs — down to the comma, then there is nothing to do, that we're past the point of give and take,'' players' association executive director Donald Fehr said. The league countered the players' association assessment of the situation, but its view wasn't enough to keep the conversation going. There is still a chance there will be more negotiations on Monday in Toronto, where leaders on both sides will be for Hockey Hall Of Fame inductions, but that wasn't going to be determined until they touch base again. NHL owners want to limit contracts to five years, make rules to prohibit back-diving contracts the league feels circumvent the salary cap, keep players ineligible for unrestricted free agency until they are 28 or have eight years of professional service time, cut entry-level deals to two years, and make salary arbitration after five years. Deputy commissioner Bill Daly said Sunday that owners have conveyed the message to him that these issues are of vital importance in a new deal. While there could be room to negotiate within the framework, the bottom line remains the same. ''It's fair to say, while there was a candid discussion on those issues, and certainly each side explained their positions to the other, I don't think there was any progress on those issues,'' Daly said. ''I would've hoped that during the course of the past week they would've shown some movement on those issues toward us, knowing what our fundamental concerns are. The message we basically got this week was, 'We know what your contracting proposals are, we're not prepared to agree to them.' ''They are not issues that can be traded off. They are all

important issues to us. That doesn't mean you can't talk about them and shake them. There is flexibility around the issues we need to achieve, but they are not issues that we can walk away from.'' Neither side is shutting the door on getting back to the table soon, but frustration is clearly growing. ''The two sides will be talking,'' Fehr said. ''I don't know when we will get back together again. I suspect it won't be too long, but I don't have any idea. We've indicated to them that when they resume, we'd like it to be in Toronto soon. We're meeting down here in large part because of the convenience, especially after the hurricane, for the families and staff of the NHL. Now we'd like to get some of our people back to their families, too.'' Getting together hasn't been a problem recently once tensions thawed after both sides rejected proposals on Oct. 18. Daly met with union special counsel Steve Fehr last weekend, and that led to four straight days of talks this week in New York that ended on a sour note Friday night. Donald Fehr and Bettman also took part in Sunday's brief discussions. Daly, Steve Fehr and Los Angeles Kings forward Kevin Westgarth got together for an informal lunch meeting on Saturday, and the sides made plans Sunday morning to meet again at the NHL's Manhattan office. They just couldn't gain any traction. Despite reports that talks on Friday got heated before negotiations ended, Daly said Sunday he doesn't feel animosity has crept into the bargaining room. However, if the sides can't find common ground, there won't be a deal anytime soon to save the already delayed and shortened season. A few hours into Friday's third session of talks, negotiations broke down over the core economic differences that separate the sides and are threatening the season completely. The lockout already has caused the NHL to call off 327 regularseason games, including the New Year's Day Winter Classic. A lockout wiped out the entire 2004-05 season. ''I always like to look at the glass as half-full, not halfempty. I like to be optimistic,'' Daly said. ''I don't know exactly where they are on economics. I hope we're getting closer in that regard. With respect to these issues, they are important issues. ''If we can find some way to address our concerns in these (player contract) issues, we can move this process forward. Right now, given their opposition to addressing some of these issues, I don't know where we go.''

Expect Company: Regular Firearms Season Open Saturday

By Tacks Call

Star Outdoors Writer

This Saturday, Nov. 17, m. marks the beginning of the he regular firearms season but for whitetail deer and bear can in Western N.Y. Last year almost 50,000 sporting licenses were sold in Chautauqua County, so expect some s company out there. Some major changes to the hunting season structure took ow effect this year and may have theran impact on the firearms too season. The archery season dea. opened on Oct. 1, giving the at archers an extra couple of e it weeks to chase deer. Also, for re the first time ever, N.Y. held e a youth season for deer. Kids ages 14-15 were allowed to hunt whitetails with firearms and

n nes 18. Conditions are prime on Cattaraugus Creek, making it a - top steelhead option for the ight weekend. The Catt is flowing w at about 310 cubic feet per ote second and slowly dropping. nd Steelhead are spread throughn- out the creek, all the way up to Scoby Dam. All other Lake Erie tributaries have in lower, clear flows. Using light t fluorocarbon tippets, small n baits, small hooks and moving h stealthily is the way to go when fishing clear conditions. Earlier the in the week, anglers reported ans decent steelhead catches on ing Chautauqua, Silver, Walnut at and Eighteenmile Creeks. an- Lake Erie steelhead commonly hit natural baits like egg n't sacs and worms, flies such as egg imitations, streamers and bugger patterns, and lures like minnow-type stickbaits and in-line spinners. id osndes Center bench, D'Antoni had

over the Columbus Day weekend, accompanied by a mentor. Hopefully it accomplishes its intended goal of getting kids some success in the field early on, ensuring that there are a lot of us out there hunting for generations to come. Now you may think these changes will have a negative impact on your deer sightings/harvest, and in future years it may. But I’m here to tell you that sightings are way up this year among the hunters I’ve spoken with. Personally, as I have during most of the past 16 archery seasons, I’ve spent about 70 hours on stand and it’s been as good as or better than any archery season I’ve experienced. We’re even having a more

target and beyond. Obey the game laws. And be courteous to other hunters. Share your venison with a non-hunter. And cook it right so I don’t have to hear anyone say, “I don’t like venison, its gamey”, with that look on their face. And lastly, sit tight and be patient. Don’t be the hunter that gets up early and puts a trophy buck in the next hunter’s lap, be the lucky recipient of that buck. On second thought, get out of your stand early and put one in my lap. I could use the help! Tacks Call is an avid outdoorsmen with countless years of experience. He doesn’t want to come across as some expert, just a regular schmoe who hunts and ﬁshes in the area.

crappie. Boaters can target musky near weed edges in 10-16 feet of water. Good methods include casting large bucktail spinners or stickbaits over the weeds or trolling on the outside of weed edges with large jointed stickbaits and crankbaits.

Surplus Broodstock Trout Stocking

Lake Erie Fishing Hotline 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. Yellow perch prospects are still good on Lake Erie. Anglers have been catching good numbers of big perch (11"13") in 40-52 feet of water between Sturgeon Point and Cattaraugus Creek. Emerald shiners are top perch bait, however salted shiners and worms also work. At present, the boat launches at Sturgeon Point and Cattaraugus Creek remain open, although launch docks may now be pulled. Take it slow when launching out of Sturgeon, as there is very little clearance over a sandbar at the harbor mouth.

Chautauqua Lake

Upper Niagara River

The open-lake fishing season is winding down and most anglers have pulled their boats for the season. However, fishing prospects are still good. Anglers can find good yellow perch and sunfish action in nearshore areas of 8-16 feet of water. Minnows, worms or small ice fishing jigs tipped

the job. me It's too soon to tell how the . Buss family's latest counterintuitive move will sit with hird Lakers fans, who chanted ''We ns want Phil!'' during the club's co- weekend games, both victories - after a 1-4 start. tenThe ''I think everybody had expecthe tations about it, and they were - all pretty high,'' Gasol said e of Jackson's potential return. s- ''We all understood what Phil e brings to the table ... and what he means to the city and the franchise. It just couldn't work out for whatever reason.'' Jackson issued a statement w to a handful of media outlets Monday, implying he was est- sentially offered the job after With meeting with Lakers owner y Jim Buss and general manager Mitch Kupchak. Jackson thought he would be able to o come back to the Lakers on ese Monday with his decision, but instead was awakened by a midnight phone call from r Kupchak. ome w ''The decision is of course theirs to make,'' Jackson said in his statement. ''I am

textbook rut, with plenty of daytime seeking and chasing, as opposed to the “trickle ruts” that we’re used to around here. In my opinion it’s just getting going in the past week and firearms hunters can expect to see some of that behavior as well. I think a lot of the credit goes to the historically mild winter we had last year so let’s enjoy it while we have it. Get out there this weekend and have a good time. And try and bring a new hunter with you. Short of a little snow on the ground, the weather forecast is about as good as it gets for late November and the deer population is healthy so expect some action. Remember the basics: Be safe with your firearm. Identify your

gratified by the groundswell of support from the Laker fans who endorsed my return, and it is the principal reason why I considered the possibility.'' The Lakers largely echoed the thoughts of Howard, who was looking forward to playing for Jackson: ''Management had to do what they felt is best for the team, and we as players have got to find a way to win.'' The Lakers publicly offered no reason for passing over the coach with the most championships in NBA history. Although nobody could claim the Buss family is afraid of spending money, Brown is still owed well over $10 million for the remaining three seasons on his four-year, $18 million contract, while D'Antoni will make $4 million a season for the next three years — and their salaries together might be less than what Jackson would command. The Lakers largely know what they would get with Jackson, but D'Antoni intrigues this older, top-heavy team with an urgency to contend for a title before Howard's free agency

next summer and Bryant's possible retirement in a few years. Howard and Gasol both believe D'Antoni's up-tempo style can work well for the Lakers. Howard would seem to be a natural to partner with Nash in the pick-and-roll attacks loved by D'Antoni and Nash, although Gasol doesn't immediately fit into the definition of a big man who can play on the perimeter and shoot 3-pointers. ''It's a great system, (but) I don't think he ever had a defender such as myself or a defender such as Dwight Howard on those teams,'' Metta World Peace said. ''I don't think he ever coached those type of players, so his defense should be selfexplanatory, and his offense is amazing, so it should be fun for Laker fans.'' The rest of the NBA sat back and watched the Lakers' drama with amusement over the past two days, with Dallas owner Mark Cuban weighing in gleefully on the mess: ''I hope they have to do it again and again and again.''

with waxworms work well. Anglers have also reported concentrations of crappie in the same locations they are found in spring. Decent catches of keeper crappie have been found in nearshore shallows and in some of the canals. Fathead minnows and small tube jigs work best for

November is traditionally the best time to fish for muskellunge in the upper Niagara River and Buffalo Harbor. As water temperatures drop below 50 degrees, musky move in to overwinter. River anglers have caught some musky around Strawberry Island by drifting with large tube jigs or by casting large stickbaits. Trolling around the outer Buffalo Harbor and north gap has also produced a few musky catches. Shore anglers are catching fair numbers of yellow perch and rock bass at Broderick Park, the north tip of Squaw Island and at the foot of Ontario Street.

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 year-round. 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). The fishing hotline can also be heard at (716) 679-ERIE or (716) 855-FISH.

MLB AWARDS HANDED OUT continued from pg 4 "He gets a lot of good home cooking," Jeff Trout said. Trout spent some time in the majors last year but still retained his rookie status. He began this season in the minors and made his first big league appearance this year on April 28 — the day of Harper's major league debut. Trout was on a flight from Salt Lake City to Cleveland when he saw on Twitter that Harper was being called up the same day. Harper turned 20 on Oct. 16 and has been hyped for years. When he was just 16, he appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated with the headline "CHOSEN ONE." "He's been put on the spotlight since he was 15 years old," Trout said. The Washington Nationals outfielder got 16 of 32 first-place votes from the NL panel. Miley was second with 12 first-place votes, followed by Cincinnati

slugger Todd Frazier with three firsts and 45 points. Harper appeared on every ballot, and Bill Center of U-T San Diego was the only voter who didn't include Miley. Harper was the top pick in the 2010 amateur draft and batted .270 with 22 home runs and 59 RBIs as Washington brought postseason play to the nation's capital for the first time since 1933. Only Tony Conigliaro (24) hit more home runs as a teenager. "Every little kid's dream is to be a big league ballplayer or a doctor or a firefighter or whatever everybody wants to be," Harper said. "That was my dream and I wanted to make that dream come true as quickly as possible." At 20 years, 27 days on Monday, he was 24 days older than New York Mets pitcher Dwight Gooden when he won the NL award in 1984. "This game is unbelievable. I love it with everything I've

got," Harper said, "and I'm going to play every single day like it's my last." And the admiration of Harper and Trout is mutual, especially after their time together last year with Scottsdale in the Arizona Fall League, for the game's premier prospects. "He's one of the best players in baseball, if not the best right now," Harper said. "He's pretty impressive every day he plays." For now, each has a rookie award. In the future, they may earn MVPs on the same day. "We play the game the right way," Trout said. "We're always running out balls. He's always hustling, trying to make that big play." Notes: For winning the award, Trout earned a $10,000 bonus on top of his $482,500 salary. ... Harper became the ﬁrst Nationals player to win a BBWAA award since the franchise moved from Montreal to Washington in 2005.

SYRACUSE WIN ON THE DECOMMISSIONED AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS MIDWAY continued from pg 4 one that was completed. On Friday night, the MarquetteOhio State game on the USS Yorktown in Charleston, S.C., was canceled and the Georgetown-Florida game on the USS Bataan in Jacksonville was called off at halftime, both because of condensation on

the court. This game was postponed from Friday night due to the threat of rain. Of the four games on ships since last year's Carrier Classic, the only two that were completed were on San Diego Bay.

It wasn't without some glitches. The wood court bubbled near one basket, forcing workers to sand, seal and dry the area before the game. The shot clock above that basket didn't work and the score and official time had to be kept at the scorer's table because the scoreboards

didn't always work correctly. Because the horn didn't work, the stats crew had to use a hand-held airhorn to signal for TV timeouts. When the gas in the airhorn canister ran out, they had to yell at the refs to notify them of TV timeouts and substitutions.

Jamaal Franklin led SDSU with 11 points. SDSU's only lead was 2-0 on Xavier Thames' runner in the lane Fair then made two free throws and a baseline jumper and hulking freshman DaJuan Coleman had a tip-in for his only points as the Orange

took control. Syracuse's biggest lead was 54-37 with 4:35 left. The wind ''affected us a little bit,'' SDSU's JJ O'Brien said. ''But the conditions were the same for both teams. It's not an excuse for why we missed free throws and missed shots.''

Holiday cooking is no easy feat. Meals tend to be more time-consuming and complex to prepare than standard fare. But by planning ahead, you can make all those delicious meals and treats in record time without undue stress. Stock Up Early Don’t leave your grocery shopping for the last minute. The stores will be overrun with other eleventh hour shoppers. The first thing you should do is to plan your menu in advance. Then take inventory of your fridge and pantry, and compose a detailed shopping list accordingly. When you’re crunching on time, the last thing you’ll want to do is run to the store because you forgot

that crucial ingredient. Beef Up Your Kitchen Be sure your kitchen is well-stocked with the right tools to ensure proper execution of all those tasty holiday treats. Be sure your knives are sharpened and ready for the onslaught of meal prep. An extra set or two of measuring spoons and mixing bowls is also a great idea when you’re making so many dishes at once. You probably already have a food processor or traditional blender, but adding a hand-held immersion blender to your kitchen tool box will aid you in quick preparation of pureed soups, sauces and homemade whipped cream. The wrong gear can ruin a great recipe. Many

holiday recipes call for zesting to add flavor and garnish to cookies, cakes, pies and drinks. If you’re trying to zest with a peeler or poorquality zester, you may be adding the bitter pith of citrus fruits to an otherwise delicious treat. Opt for a zester with v-shaped teeth that skim across the surface of citrus. For example, the Edgeware Better Zester has nonstick coating, ensuring smooth zesting and easy clean up. It also features a container with measurements, and a non-slip end piece for stability, so you can easily and comfortably follow your recipes accurately. More information on proper zesting can be found at www. edgewareproducts.com. Cook and Bake Ahead Not every kitchen task needs to happen on the day of your festivities. Lighten your load by prepping what you can beforehand. Bake cookies, brownies and breads in advance and store in the freezer with wax paper or an airtight container. Just be sure to let them cool to room temperature before storing. A sauce’s flavor improves with time, so prep your sauces a day in advance. Dice vegetables for side dishes ahead of time and store in plastic baggies in the fridge. Make a salad the day before and dress just before serving. Don’t let the joys of holiday entertaining be a cause for sorrow. Streamline your meal preparation with a little planning.

Yummy Holiday Baking Ideas

The holidays are all about tradition, and there’s no better way to evoke the spirit of the season in your holiday baking than by highlighting every crowd’s favorite flavor -- vanilla. From vanilla flavored snaps to biscotti, you can give the classics a fresh, bold twist this year.

Vanilla doesn’t have to be boring! “For too long, vanilla has been misunderstood as plain, taking on only a supporting role in recipes,” says Shauna Seer, author of the new cookbook “Pure Vanilla: Irresistible Recipes and Essential Techniques.” “With the right recipe,

vanilla can really shine through -even in traditional holiday baking.” Sever contends that the way to do this is to use whole vanilla beans and fullflavored pure vanilla extract, steering clear of the imitation variety. Even chocolate lovers will be tripping over each other for seconds and thirds. For some sweet holiday inspiration, try whipping up light and airy Vanilla Sugar Puffs using this simple recipe from Sever. Vanilla Sugar Puffs (Makes about 30 two-inch puffs) For the dough: 1/2 cup whole milk

1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted 5 large eggs, at room temperature 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract For decorating: 1 large egg 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract Pinch salt Swedish pearl sugar, to taste • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

• In a heavy-bottomed 2-quart saucepan, combine milk, 1/2 cup water, vanilla bean, butter, sugar and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Carefully remove vanilla bean and scrape remaining seeds into liquid. Bring to a boil. Add flour, lower heat to medium and begin stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon until the dough starts to come away from the sides of the pan and form a loose ball. Keep stirring for about two minutes to dry the dough. • Transfer dough to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat in eggs, one at a time on medium speed. Beat in vanilla extract. Drop dough by the tablespoonful onto prepared baking

sheets, leaving about two inches of space between dollops. • In a small bowl, beat together egg, vanilla extract, salt and 1 teaspoon water until well blended. Brush each puff with this egg wash and sprinkle generously with pearl sugar. • Bake for 15 minutes, then rotate sheets from top to bottom and front to bake. Continue baking until deeply golden and sound hollow when their crisp exteriors are tapped, another 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer puffs to a wire rack to cool before serving. For additional information and recipes, visit www. QuirkBooks.com. Whether you’re baking holiday cookies or brewing up hot drinkable desserts, ‘tis the season for vanilla.

Holiday food safeTy Tips

Great food is the centerpiece of any holiday celebration, and practicing safe food handling in the kitchen is an important part of holiday meal preparation. There are certain steps you can take to keep friends and family safe from food poisoning. “The kitchen can be chaotic and it can be challenging to keep food safety top of mind when dealing with a whole holiday meal, from turkey to trimmings,” cautions Shelley Feist, Executive Director of the nonprofit Partnership for Food Safety Education. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one in six Americans will get sick from dangerous foodborne bacteria this year. But these crucial safety tips can help you create a safe and tasty holiday celebration: Clean Prevent the spread of bacteria by keeping a clean kitchen and washing hands. Cutting boards, dishes,

utensils and counter tops should be washed with hot water and soap after preparing each food item, and before going on to the next. Keep plenty of clean cloth towels or paper towels handy for cleaning surfaces and drying hands. Enforce a strict hand washing policy for all holiday kitchen helpers. Use warm water and soap for 20 seconds before and after handling food. Rinse fresh fruits and vegetables under running tap water just before eating or preparing. Rub firmskinned produce under running tap water or scrub with a clean vegetable brush while rinsing with running tap water. Separate Cross-contamination is how bacteria spread. Keep raw meat, poultry, seafood and eggs and their juices away from ready-to-eat foods, like salad ingredients. Using separate cutting boards is one way to reduce opportunities for

cross-contamination. Cook Temperature matters! Bacteria can survive if foods aren’t cooked to a safe internal temperature. Even an experienced cook can`t tell if food is cooked safely by how it looks, so use a food thermometer to ensure you’re cooking turkeys, ham, egg dishes and other foods to a safe internal temperature. Download a temperature chart at www. holidayfoodsafety.org. Chill The holiday celebration is great -- and even better if you have delicious leftovers. Just remember to enjoy them within four days. Bacteria spread fastest at temperatures between 40 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit, so chill food promptly -within two hours -- at a refrigerator temperature of 40 degrees or below. Appliance thermometers are inexpensive and can help you monitor your refrigerator’s temperature. Bring on the Bird

Learning how to cook a turkey safely may be one of the biggest holiday meal challenges. Never thaw your turkey on the counter. Turkeys are best thawed in the fridge. So allot plenty of real estate to your turkey before your celebration. If you’re going to stuff your turkey, stuff safely. Cook stuffing to a minimum temperature of 165 degrees, whether inside or outside of the bird. Visit www. Holidayfoodsafety.org, for a complete guide to the safe handling, preparation, serving, and leftover storage of your holiday turkey. You’ll also find guidelines on turkey size, how to thaw a turkey and cooking times. By taking precautions to prepare food safely, you can ensure that bacteria won’t be guests at your holiday celebration.

THis Holiday THink MoBile gifTs If you have a jet-setter in your life, the holiday season is the perfect time to show you care. While travel can be glamorous and exciting, it can also be fraught with frustration. This year, consider giving a gift that helps ease the burdens of a mobile lifestyle. Not only will this gesture be appreciated, you may just make life a bit more comfortable for your loved one while he or she is on-the-go. Whether you’re shopping for a business traveler, an adventurer or leisure-lover, here are some great gift ideas for smooth sailing and happy recipients. Fresh Travel Personal care should never take a vacation. Keep your traveler looking and feeling their best with goodies designed for mobile prepping and pampering. For example,

a compact batteryoperated toothbrush that’s as powerful as a traditional electric toothbrush is ideal for packing and makes for an affordable stocking stuffer. Likewise, a jet lag prevention treatment and a sleep mask pair perfectly to boost energy and prevent bags under-the eyes during long-distance travel. Look for a homeopathic treatment that has no side effects or interactions with other medications, such as No-Jet-Lag. Wired Travel Whether one is computing for work, entertainment or keeping in touch, a laptop and accessories that are thin and light but robust are essential these days for both every day mobility and heavy-duty travel. Luckily, new

technologies are making it easier to stay productive, entertained and connected while mobile. For example, the HP ENVY m4 notebook contains features that account for many hazards of travel, guarding against data loss if the notebook is dropped and against intruders if the machine is tampered with or stolen. It can also guard against boredom, as it has abundant storage and a quick processor for working, gaming, listening and viewing. When possible, help your traveler streamline tech gear. For example, an HP 90W Universal Power Adapter is compatible with virtually all notebooks and features a built-in USB port that charges a notebook and mobile device simultaneously. Just because you’re on the go doesn’t mean

you need to sacrifice great audio-visual experiences. A Bluetoothenabled wireless speaker delivers the clear sound of a stationary speaker; while the HP Webcam HD 4310 lets users connect and communicate with friends and family in widescreen 1080p HD -- and offers three-way video calling, auto focus and auto-exposure to ensure images are clear and bright. With the right accessories, you can make that wait for the next plane, train or automobile

more productive and enjoyable. More information on enhancing the mobile computing experience is available at www.hp.com. Quick Travel Any traveler would welcome opportunities to make the airport security line fast and convenient. Great

gifts for those in a jiffy include comfortable slip-on shoes, a transparent toiletry bag or a backpack that offers quick access to computers, phones, and other media. This holiday season, give mobile loved ones the gear they need for hassle-free adventures and they will get many happy returns.

wHaT every Holiday Cook needs To know There’s one simple step every home chef needs to take this season to save time, money, stay safe and make the task of cooking holiday meals more enjoyable. Sharpen those knives! With roasts and turkeys to carve, and all the chopping, slicing and dicing of holiday entertaining, now isn’t the time to let knives go dull and make time in the kitchen more trying. “No matter how highquality your knives are, they must be sharpened periodically to maintain and restore their edges,” says Sam Weiner, president of Chef`sChoice, a cutlery and knife sharpener manufacturer. “Before you start carving the turkey or ham, you need to be sure you’re using sharp knives that will

do the job properly.” Save Time Ever heard the old adage “work smarter, not harder?” The task of carving your turkeys, ham and roasts should not require brute force. With a properly sharpened edge, you can eliminate the frustrations you may have learned to live with as your knives have dulled over time. Save Money Gearing up your kitchen is advisable before the mad rush of holiday cooking begins. If you’re thinking of giving yourself an early present of a new set of knives, think again. You can save money over the long run with a high-quality sharpener that can help you maintain the knives you

already own. Don’t fret. Knife sharpening doesn’t have to be a formidable task. Select a sharpener with these features for best results: 100 percent diamond abrasives because they will sharpen any metal alloy; precision angle guides to insure easy, uniform sharpening and angle control; and multi-stages because the strongest knife edges are archshaped and provide more metal support to the cutting edge. For example, the Chef’sChoice Edge Select

120 is fast, precise and of professional quality, but easy and safe to use at home. It works with any type of knife, including serrated and is designed to precisely hold your blade securely against the angle guidelines, eliminating guesswork on your part. Stay Safe According to the American Society for Surgery of the Hand, emergency room visits due to kitchen injuries are commonplace on holidays. Don’t put a damper on your celebration with an avoidable cut. Dull edges can force you to apply excessive pressure on the knife while you’re cutting, increasing the chance of knife slippage causing serious injury. When holiday

carving or prepping food, make sure you use sharp knives. Have Fun Cooking for friends and family should be a pleasure, but can be stressful during the holidays for even the most talented chefs. Make sure to use well-maintained equipment to make your life easier. This will speed up tasks and make i more enjoyable. Demonstration videos and other information on maintaining sharp knives can be found at www.ChefsChoice.com. Serious cooks know that sharp knives are a crucial element of a well-run kitchen, when it comes to making tasks easier and safer.

CrafT ideas To TransforM your HoMe for THe Holidays This year, forego those store-bought plastic reindeers and craft your own holiday décor instead. Personalization adds a unique and elegant touch to your home. And with a little ingenuity, even items you’d normally throw away like candy wrappers and old magazines can be transformed into spectacular vases, holiday gifts and jewelry. “Grab a sheet of paper and hold it in your hands. Think of all the things you can do with it: Crumple it, fold it, rip it, paint it, weave it, stitch it, tear paper into strips to make papiermâché or cut it into intricate designs. Each sheet of paper contains endless possibilities,

says Kayte Terry, visual merchandising manager for Anthropologie stores and author of Paper Made, a new crafting book full of project ideas made from every day materials. Here’s a project you can try at home, that just takes 10 steps. Terry is offering directions for a “Ring Around the Rosey Vase,” so you can plant your Holly this year in a vase made by you: 1. Use a craft knife, ruler, and cutting mat to cut magazine pages into 600 1/4 inch strips. 2. Use cylindrical objects of different sizes as rolling instruments. Roll the strips around the object once, then brush glue on the next section of the strip and roll again. Dab

glue at the end of the strip to seal the coil. 3. Brush each roll with decoupage medium and set aside to dry. 4. Trace the bottom of the jar onto the cardboard with pencil. Add 1 inch to the diameter, and use a craft knife to cut it out. Cut a magazine page in a circle 2 inches larger in diameter than the base. 5. Brush one side of the cardboard circle with white glue and center and press it facedown onto the magazine circle. Use the craft knife to cut slits 1 inch apart from the edge of the magazine circle to the edge of the cardboard circle. 6. Brush edges of the magazine circle with glue and wrap each

7. Brush glue along the outer edge of the circle and attach a row of paper coils around the base. Vary the size of the coils, making sure that each coil s edges of touch the next. 8. Continue gluing the paper coils, stacking them in uneven rows. Every three rows,

brush the inside and outside of the vase with decoupage medium and let dry. Leave more space between the coils as the rows stack higher. 9. Check the height of the vase by placing the jar inside it. Add paper coils until they rise about 1” above the glass jar. 10. Remove the jar. Brush the inside and outside of the vase with decoupage medium

and let dry completely before replacing the jar. You don’t need to spend a fortune on crafting supplies. By rescuing materials from your recycling bin, you can transform your home for the holidays with unique colorful objects.

Great Tips for Holiday Gift Baskets

Looking for a thoughtful gift this holiday season? Give a gift basket! Don’t be intimidated by the task -- it`s easy to create the perfect gift basket for even the fussiest person. “A food basket is a welcome gift for all occasions,” says Bonnie

Tempesta, founder of the cookie company Boncora Biscotti. “You can make it as elegant, whimsical or celebratory as you want -- and at whatever cost your budget allows.” Gift baskets also offer a chance to inject some personality into a gift.

“What you choose to put in a gift basket is a reflection of who you are as a gift giver,” says Jean Thompson, Owner and CEO of Seattle Chocolates, maker of premium chocolate bars and truffles. “It`s a great way to share your good taste.” Follow these simple tips to make unique gift baskets for everyone on your list: • Decide what you want to include before you buy the basket so you can pick the right size. No matter what

size basket you use, it should be overflowing. • If a traditional wooden basket isn`t your style, look for other vessels: a colorful paper bag, a pretty pastry box, a flower pot. The possibilities are endless -- and inexpensive. • Fill the basket with higher- and lower-priced items to keep overall costs down. Include items of varying heights to add visual interest. • Arrange the contents around a theme, such as all things red or everything handmade or all chocolate! • Choose foods you love or products you`re excited about trying. Chances are, if you were wowed by a treat, your gift recipient will be too. • “Go for edibles that don’t need to

be eaten right away,” says Edmond Sanctis, co-founder of Sahale Snacks. “Treats that can be nibbled and shared all season long are ideal gift basket additions.” Splurge on indulgences your recipient normally wouldn`t buy for him or herself, like limited-edition holiday chocolate from Seattle Chocolates. You can find a wide range of such products in all colors and styles to suit any gift basket theme at www. SeattleChocolates.com. • Add a food item that’s new or hard to find. For example, Boncora Biscotti, available only online, are handmade to order. Plain or dipped in chocolate, they go great with a cup of joe, so pair this gift with some gourmet coffee.

ways To Make your HoMe fesTive THis season Though one of the best parts of winter is getting out of the cool, crisp air and into the cozy, comfort of your home, trendsetting crafters are bringing the beauty of nature inside their houses when decorating for the holidays this year. This holiday season, the outdoors are in, says Nicole Long, Manager of Inspiration for JoAnn Fabric and Craft Stores. Pine cones, evergreen, moss and grapevine can give your traditional décor a rustic, natural look. If you’re having trouble getting inspired, here are some ideas from the experts at Jo-Ann: • Dress up the entrance of your home with an especially festive look. Wire a small twig wreath to a larger grapevine wreath and then decorate with dazzling embellishments, stems and greenery. • Give your mantel a cozy makeover by hanging knitted stockings, embellished with berries and leaves. Then fill them with gifts galore! • Deck the halls with pictures of loved ones and celebrations past. Turn a traditional pine

garland of berries and pine cones into a personal keepsake of fond memories by adding handcrafted wire frames of your favorite family photos. • Paint pine cones red, gold, burgundy and green. Don’t be afraid to add a little glitz with a coat of clear glitter on each one. Showcase them in a simple glass container for a beautiful centerpiece or side table decoration. • Fashion a hanging basket out of grapevine wreath. Place batteryoperated lights within the basket and fill with ornaments. • For a delicious holiday goodie bag, dip peppermint sticks in melted chocolate and decorate with sprinkles or chopped nuts. Place them in treat bags with ribbon then give to family and friends throughout the season. • Print Victorian-era designs onto paper, then decoupage onto wood shapes. Glitter the edges and tie on a shiny ribbon to create a lovely, vintageinspired ornament. For more tips and directions on transforming your

home for the holiday season, visit www.

JoAnn.com/projects. By bringing a bit of

nature into your home this season, you can

evoke its spirit all throughout the house.

How To Make a differenCe THis Holiday season life? The holidays are the perfect time to reach out to the less fortunate. Here are a few ways you can help this holiday season: Work at a Soup Kitchen Many people have made it a yearly tradition to volunteer at a soup kitchen during the holidays. You can help the homeless Meaningful gifts can help those in need, abroad and at home. and hungry (c) Peter Biro - The International Rescue Committee get a hot meal and give Better than any toy, gift that would actually them the small gift of a trinket or fruit basket, make a profound full stomach. Contact what if you could give a difference in someone’s

your local soup kitchen to see how you can help. If you don’t have time to volunteer, consider donating non-perishable goods, as many soup kitchens have a food pantry as well. Help a Family in a Crisis Zone A gift from the mall is nice, but donating to a philanthropic organization on behalf of a loved one is a much more meaningful way to celebrate the holidays. There are an estimated 40 million people around the world who have been uprooted from their homes by war and disaster. They live in limbo, struggle to survive and have no place to call home. By purchasing a “Rescue Gift” to honor friends and family in lieu of store-bought

presents, you’ll be contributing to critical supplies and services for vulnerable families. The International Rescue Committee’s Rescue Gifts offer a wide variety of gifts at various price points. For example, you can opt to help fund a year of school for girls in Afghanistan, contribute to gardening tools and seeds to help families in need grow food, or help train Burmese refugees, to deliver basic health care. In so doing, both you and your recipient gain a true sense of the kind of work your gift is supporting. “These gifts have a tangible impact on the lives of refugees and others who have been displaced by conflict, political upheaval and natural disaster around the world,” says Kay

Bellor of the International Rescue Committee. “They help families to survive and thrive and last a lot longer than a box of chocolates.” For more information or to give Rescue Gifts visit www.Rescue.org/gifts. Donate Toys Unfortunately, there are countless children out there whose families can’t afford a gift-filled holiday that many of us take for granted. By donating unwrapped toys and books to charity, your generosity will undoubtedly brighten up a child’s season. As you enjoy the holidays, take the time to help out someone less fortunate. Just a small bit can go a long way.

greaT gifT ideas for kids To give Between family, friends, coaches and teachers, some children give as many holiday presents as they receive. Helping your child pick out great gifts can be tricky and often times, impersonal. This year, encourage your child’s creativity with easy kids’ crafts they’ll give as gifts. Do-it-yourself handmade gifts are a growing trend, thanks to the popularity of sites like Etsy and Pinterest. “Unlike a store-bought present, a handmade present is a personalized treasure made by you!” says Meg Survil, general manager of the brand MakIt, which preserves children’s artwork on objects like plates and bowls. Here are a few suggestions for

thoughtful gifts kids can give this holiday: Scrapbook Scrapbooks are a great way for children to show their appreciation for friends and siblings. They can create an interactive stroll down memory lane with pictures, cards and other mementos.

Use your imagination when it comes to the theme and always make sure the basket is overflowing! With handmade gifts like these, your child is sure to have the perfect present for everyone.

Great Holiday Gift Ideas for the Men in Your Life Holiday shopping is not always easy, especially when you place a premium on giving your loved one the perfect present. But this year, don’t let shopping for the men in your life stress you out. By pinpointing their interests and shopping accordingly, you can scratch this task off your to-do list with ease. Here are some great ideas to get you started: Home Theater Buff Enhance your home theater buff’s viewing experience by beefing up his projector with a newer model. For example, Casio has just introduced a new line of projectors that feature enhanced connectivity, improved audio, higher brightness levels and 3D capabilities. You’ll be helping him cut

costs too, as the entire portfolio eliminates the use of mercury lamps, allowing consumers to extend the longevity of their projector. For more information, visit www.ShopCasio.com. If your man is completely attached to his home theater system, there’s no reason to ignore this interest of his. Help him beef up his video collection by signing him up for a membership

at www.filmmovement. com, which sends your recipient one award-winning movie each month to keep. The Reader Modernize your reader s habit with an e-reader like a Kindle Fire, Nook, or PRS-T2 from Sony. With onetouch downloading of books, this gift is especially appropriate for the reader with an insatiable appetite.

If you’re shopping for an oldfashioned kind of guy, you can still make his reading experience an easier one with a hands-free bookstand from Barnes and Noble or Levenger. Music Man Whether you’re shopping for a serious musician or a hobbyist, your gift recipient will appreciate high-quality equipment. For example, the Privia digital piano line from Casio is introducing four new keyboards that have an authentic piano feel, dynamic grand piano sound, and all the benefits of portability. The PX-350 and PX-850

also provide the ability to record sound files directly to a USB thumb drive so rehearsals and performances can be easily captured and shared. He’ll be belting out seasonal tunes just in time for that New Year’s party. For more information, visit www. casiomusicgear.com. If you’re on a budget, consider a gift that keeps on giving. For example, a pick punch, from www. uncommongoods. com, will allow him to personalize the guitarplaying experience with custom guitar picks made from expired credit cards and gym membership cards. Outdoor Adventurer Help your outdoorsman streamline his backpack for all those upcoming hunting, fishing and

camping trips. The Leatherman Freestyle Multitool from LL Bean, for example, is a knife/fly fishing tool hybrid that includes regular and needle nose pliers, and wire and hard wire cutters. You can help him get his bearings with fewer gadgets. For instance, a new Casio Pro Trek watch, the PRW5100-1, is not only solar-powered and water resistant, but includes a compass, as well. Additionally, it reads altitude, barometric pressure and temperature -- making it great for his next outdoor adventure. With some great ideas, you can make his holiday experience even merrier this season.

New Twists on Holiday Food Traditions For many families, the best thing about the holidays isn’t the lavish gifts, it’s the traditions they have made together. And while old customs won’t fade, families across the country are spicing up their holiday celebrations with new traditions this year. Here are four ideas for new food traditions you can start this holiday season: • Serve food from other cultures: Try adding a cultural dish

latkes, Irish oyster stew, or Grecian leg of lamb are all traditional meals that could invigorate your holiday spread. For dessert, try Italian sweet cakes or Australian Pavlova, a meringue-like treat. • New take on an old favorite: Lots of families have traditional holiday favorites that they break out once a year. For many, that dessert is the moist, sweet cake panettone. Bauducco Panettone is a ready to eat specialty cake loaded with a variety of

new twist to classic recipes. Some unique recipes include using panettone to make croutons for fresh arugula and roasted fruit salad or substituting Bauducco Panettone in a bread pudding with amaretto sauce. “Even for breakfast, its light texture and subtle sweetness make the cake perfect to pair with coffee or hot chocolate,” said Stefano Mozzi, General Manager at Bauducco Foods Inc. “It can even be used to make French

raisins, candied fruits and chocolate chips. Extremely versatile, panettone can add a

panettone. You can find Bauducco Panettone on store shelves this holiday season at Wal-Mart, CVS, Walgreens and grocery stores, drug stores and mass market retailers nationwide. • Plan a cookie exchange: Have everyone in your family bake one type of cookie and bring them to the festivities - one dozen cookies each for larger groups and two dozen for smaller ones. You’ll have a variety of delicious cookies for dessert, while only having to bake one type yourself. This is an easy and surefire way to please your family’s sweet tooth!

• Cook with the kids: The days leading up to the holidays are a great time to bond with your kids. One of the best ways to do that is to get them involved in the cooking process. Have your children pick a few recipes they can help you with. Make extra

for friends, neighbors and the less fortunate and deliver them with your kids to spread some good cheer. Try something new in the kitchen this holiday season. Sometimes the traditions you start on your own are the best of all.

And a pet’s oral health can affect his or her whole body and well-being. Luckily, a lot of these issues are preventable with daily oral care.

Either stick to safe species of holiday plants like orchids, or be sure to place your amaryllis, holly and mistletoe, which are poisonous when ingested, well out of your pet’s reach. Keep the area around your Christmas tree free of pine needle debris, which can puncture the stomach and intestines on their way through your pet’s digestive system. While you’ll likely want to share your holiday feast with your pet, do so safely. Table scraps can lead to unnecessary weight gain or other health related complications. Well-meaning visitors unaware of your dog or cat’s allergies and stomach capacity may overstuff your pet with the wrong kind of food. No matter how you choose to spend the season with your furry friend, you can make your memories longerlasting by sharing them with fellow pet-lovers online. You can upload your cutest holiday pet photos and videos to www.facebook. com/greenies. And then you can safely and happily ring in the new year together.

4 EASY Ways to Support OUR Troops

Supporting the troops is an important thing to do -- but sometimes it’s hard to figure out how. Here are four easy ways to thank those who keep us safe every single day -- even if you don’t personally know someone serving. And with the holidays coming up, it’s the perfect time of year to do it, as many of service men and women are away from family. Send A ‘Thank You’ Gift This holiday season, some retailers are making it easy to give a personal “thank you” directly to the men and women serving the country. For instance, national retailer, Things Remembered, is helping people -- even those on a budget -- send unique, personalized gifts to deployed

service members. Things Remembered shoppers purchasing gifts for deployed military personnel will receive 25 percent off and free shipping on any personalized gift sent to an APO/FPO address. The promotion will run through November 20, giving plenty of opportunity to personally thank those protecting our nation in time for the holidays. Even shoppers who don’t personally know any deployed servicemen or women can show their support. All Things Remembered stores will be featuring local deployed military members to receive gifts from their hometown neighbors. Volunteer Your Time Former service members stateside

should also be recognized. Show your appreciation for those who have helped protect our country by volunteering at your local Veterans Affairs hospital or nursing home this season, even if only for a few hours. You are sure to meet some fascinating men and women and you’ll be bringing holiday cheer to those who may not have many visitors. Give Blood Giving blood

through an organization

like the American Red Cross can actually help troops hundreds and thousands of miles away. Military units may depend on rush shipments of blood during times of need, and maintaining an ample supply of all blood types is crucial. Host a blood drive at your workplace or community center, encouraging others to give the gift of life this holiday season. To find a blood drive or donation location near you, visit www. redcrossblood.org. Be Vocal Encouraging others to remember our deployed troops is one of the most wide-reaching ways to support the active military

during the holidays. By reminding neighbors that our men and women overseas may need a boost of holiday cheer, you could touch hundreds of service members’ lives this season. Talk to people, post on Facebook, send out Tweets or include a reminder in your holiday cards. Although the holidays can be a difficult time for deployed service members and their families, there are countless ways you can show your gratitude and appreciation this season. Whether it’s a personalized gift, visit to a veteran, or blood donation, you can give back to those who give so much to our country.

How to Save Money This Holiday Saving money while holiday shopping may sound impossible, but you don’t need to be a Scrooge to budget. Through smart strategizing, you can find the perfect gift for friends and family and keep your wallet intact. Here are some tips to give you a leg up on your New Year’s financial resolutions: Just Say No When it comes to purchasing warranties, there are times you can just say no. Refusing extended warranties doesn’t strip you of all protection. Reputable manufacturers will back products for three to six months and some credit cards extend or even double manufacturers’ warranties. If you do purchase a warranty, be sure the terms are worth the cost.

Avoid Layaway Layaway may sound great, but without discipline, it can be costly. If you’re using a credit card to make small payments on your layaway purchase, and you don’t pay your balance in full, you may ultimately pay both a layaway fee and interest on your credit card. And if you cancel the purchase, you could pay an additional fee too. Stick to buying what you can afford today. Manage Your Money If you have trouble sticking to your shopping budget, consider using tools to help keep you honest. Traditional financial software programs, which help you set budgets and manage money, are now providing access from mobile devices. For example, Quicken

2013’s free iPhone, iPad and Android apps allow you to securely manage your money, view up-to-date information about your accounts and check your budgets, encouraging you to make sound financial decisions in real-time. “Consumers who go into debt from holiday shopping often do so because they are unaware of what they have New technology can help you keep in their bank track of your expenses while shop- accounts and ping. (c) Andres Rodriguez - Fotolia. are spending unmindfully,” com warns Aaron Patzer, VP of

Innovation at Intuit. “Tracking your budgets and spending as you go will help you stay on track.” Know the Refund Policy Not all stores offer refunds for returned items. When buying gifts, make sure you know a store’s policy before your purchase. Ask for a gift receipt so your friends and family can make exchanges or get refunds if necessary. Use Gift Cards Retailers must now honor gift cards for five years from the date of issue. So find those old gift cards, and use them toward your gift purchases, even if they have “expired.” The company can send you a new card or issue the remaining balance in cash.

DIY Showing your friends and family you care about them should not put you in debt. If the holidays will cause an unreasonable financial burden, consider making presents. From baking to knitting, to writing your loved ones poems and thoughtful letters, homemade presents can be more meaningful than the store-bought variety. More money management tips for the holidays can be found at www.Quicken.com. By planning ahead and making informed financial decisions this holiday shopping season, you can start 2013 on the right financial foot.

greaT Holiday gifT ideas for gaMers

Shopping for someone who loves video games can be mind-boggling, particularly if you’re not well-versed in the subject. But there are a few things to know this holiday season that can help you plan the perfect present. Gaming, like most forms of entertainment,

is evolving rapidly and going more mobile than ever. “Gaming doesn’t stop at just one platform, it moves from the desk to the couch to a train, in your hand,” says Bruce Hawver, CEO of SteelSeries, a manufacturer of gaming accessories.

“Gamers need to be able to seamlessly choose where, when and how they play their game without sacrificing the quality of the experience.” Whether you’re shopping for a recreational hobbyist or a serious professional gamer, here are some great ways to make to his or her holiday season a merrier one: Mobile Devices Mobile gaming has suffered in the past due to the technical limitations of mobile devices. Light on graphics and animation, games trended toward simple and slow. But that’s changing as mobile devices become more powerful, provide more speed and have an extended battery life. Give your gamer the gift of the best mobile

gaming experience possible with the latest iPhone, Android phone or Tablet. For example, the ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity TF700, which transforms between notebook and tablet, has a highresolution screen, an extended battery life and is also one of the fastest android tablets available. Just be sure you protect the gear you purchase with a durable case, as newer devices can crack and scratch easily. Mobile Accessories Some games are made for finger swiping, but thousands require better control. Help your gamer gain better precision while on-the-go with a mobile controller that is compact, lightweight and compatible with different devices. For example, the SteelSeries Free Wireless Mobile

Controller is a pocketsized Bluetooth controller designed for cross-platform use on PC/Mac, Android Smartphones and Tablets, iPod touch, iPhone and iPad. Great for long trips, its lithium ion battery lasts an estimated 10 hours of nonstop playtime, and can be charged by plugging in a USB/mini cable to your computer or mobile device. Or consider improving the mobile gaming experience with better sound via a modern, compact and comfortable headset. The SteelSeries Flux Headset, for instance, is small in stature but delivers loud and clear sound. It also has an audio port on each earcup, allowing multiple users to plug headsets into the same flux and share sound.

Give More information on th on mobile gaming resol accessories for the these holidays via can twea be found at www. holid SteelSeries.com. subs Keep them Informed appe Help your gamer stay on and d top of new trends with a flavor subscription to a gaming Here publication like “Game pleas Informer.” Typically, on se these publications come and a with great benefits, Appe such as exclusive discounts on games and Holid accessories.

Easy Tips to Make Holiday Parties Healthier Give guests a leg up on their New Year’s resolutions with these tasty, healthful tweaks to your favorite holiday dishes. Simple substitutions will jazz up appetizers, main dishes and desserts with both flavor and nutrition. Here are some crowdpleasing ideas that draw on seasonal ingredients and are easy to prepare: Appetizers Holiday appetizers don’t need to be deepfried, fatty or breaded. Finger foods should whet a healthy appetite without raising the cholesterol count. Keep guests happy and well nourished by pairing sparkling white wine with nuts rather than simple carbs and empty calories. Nuts are a good source of protein, fiber and healthy, monounsaturated fats. Plus, many studies have

shown that nuts have powerful cholesterollowering effects. A cheese ball made with goat cheese is a great choice for a party tray. It’s lower in fat and contains fewer calories than cream cheese, while having more calcium, protein and vitamins A and B-6. For a fun, sophisticated finish, roll the cheese in a nut coating that’s free of artificial preservatives and flavoring, such as Sahale Crunchers Cranberries, Sesame Seeds + Honey. Serve with apple or pear slices instead of crackers. Main Course Butter-basted turkey sounds good, but turkey is naturally tasty and doesn’t need the added fat or sodium. Oven roast your turkey with spices and fresh herbs. Try using cayenne pepper, cardamom and

cinnamon, and herbs like sage, thyme and dill, rather than extra fats, to flavor meats and vegetables. For stuffing, use whole grain breads instead of white bread to add fiber, vitamins B6 and E, magnesium, zinc, folic

acid and chromium. For green bean casseroles, skip the French-fried onion rings and add a sprinkle of almonds for crunch. Instead of adding brown sugar or marshmallows to yams, add a blend of nuts and dried cranberries for extra flavor and texture.

Salad Serving a tossed salad is one of the easiest ways to bring fresh greens to the table. Leave off the croutons and extra cheese and give your salad some unique flair that guests will find irresistible. Here’s a salad recipe worthy of any holiday spread: Green Salad with Apples, Almonds and Walnut Oil Vinaigrette 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar 2 Tbs walnut oil 2 Tbs honey 2 Tbs minced shallots 1/8 tsp salt 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper 6 cups mixed greens 1 cup thinly sliced apples 4oz package Sahale Crunchers Almonds

with Parmesan Cheese + Herbs.In a small bowl, whisk together apple cider vinegar, walnut oil and honey. Whisk in shallots, salt and pepper. Toss sliced apples with 1Tbs vinegar to prevent browning. Place the greens, apples and Crunchers in a large bowl. Drizzle with vinaigrette and toss gently to coat. This recipe yields 4-6 servings. Dessert Fresh, seasonal fruit is always a great choice for dessert. Simple baked fruit crisps and crumbles topped with nuts are also festive and satisfying. More great ideas and holiday recipes can be found at www. SahaleSnacks.com. Make this year’s holiday season the happiest, healthiest yet.

greaT ways To Make your Holiday parTy BeauTiful The holiday season is the most festive time of year, from singing in the streets to gatherings

with friends and family. So if you’re going to be entertaining, you’ll want your party to feel as cheerful as the season

itself and to add some style and flair to make your party sparkle.

From the décor to the table settings to the food, a few unique twists can make guests feel welcomed, impressed

and ready to party upon arrival. So set the mood accordingly. Delight on Arrival You can delight their senses right away with a lit fireplace or by brewing a holiday punch or cider with cinnamon and other aromatic flavors. Also, be sure that your entranceway is decorated for the season and that there’s music playing. A crooner like Bing Crosby performing holiday hits is a classic choice. Just keep the volume

at a conversationfriendly level. Think Small Presentation Instead of hosting a multi-course sit-down dinner, make life easier on yourself and more fun for your guests with a splendid spread of small plates. A small plate dinner means guests can eat whenever they arrive and mix and mingle as they do so – it’s an easy, fun way to entertain. When it comes to parties, the visual impact of your food is as important as its taste. This is where small plates shine, as little tastes can have a big impact with their colors, shapes and designs. Give guests’ a taste surprise with a roundthe-world line up of cuisines, from traditional sliders to more exotic

choices like dumplings and Mediterranean dips. For inspiration, turn to a cookbook devoted solely to miniature appetizers and desserts, such as those from author Robert Zollweg. Aim for each dish to feature about four to six bites of food that can be eaten comfortably seated or standing, and arrange dishes on small, sleek plates, such as Libbey Just Tastings mini dinnerware collection. Both the Just Tastings collection and cookbook line are available at Bed Bath & Beyond. For the sake of presentation, be sure your dishes present a great array of colors. Attendees will naturally end up moving around the room in order to taste everything. Make sure to coordinate

tablecloths, napkins, candleholders and centerpieces in a seasonal color scheme. You can find a colorful assortment of each at www. bedbathandbeyond. com. Don’t be afraid to think creatively! Dress it Up You can dress up your party space with a few simple and elegant flourishes. You can make stylish centerpieces by taking clear bowls and filling them with colorful ornaments and pretty greenery. And you can fill glasses with colored stones or small candles to add a sophisticated glow to the room. By setting a mood that is both cheerful and chic, you can make a great impression on guests and throw a party they won’t soon forget.

greaT ways To keep kids reading over THe Holidays While breaks from school should be fun, they don’t have to be breaks from learning. The down time of the holiday season is the perfect time of year to keep kids entertained with books. And with recent adoption of the Common Core State Standards, which set expectations for what students should be learning so they will be college and career ready. “As a parent, you can play an important role in helping your children meet the Common Core State Standards while on break,” says Donna Elder, senior literacy specialist for the National Center for Family Literacy (NCFL). “By using fiction and their interests as a springboard for informational reading,

you can make this a fun experience.” Elder is providing reading ideas to feed your children’s interests. It’s all about offering them books on subjects in which you already know they are interested: • For example, if your child enjoyed “The Cricket in Times Square” by George Selden, you can help foster his or her interest in crickets with “Insectiopedia” by Douglas Florian, “Chirping Crickets” by Melvin Berger, or “Cricket”s by Cheryl Coughlan. • After reading “The Snow Child: A Russian Folktale” retold by Freya Littledale, follow up by encouraging your child to read about the science of weather with “The Kids’ Book of Weather

Forecasting” by Mark Breen and Kathleen Friestad or “Weather” by Seymour Simon. • Teens who couldn’t put down “The Hunger Games” by Suzanne Collins may be interested in learning more about the origins and history of real athletic competitions. Start with “The Olympics: A History of the Modern Games” by Allen Guttmann.” Or entertain a newfound interest in the outdoors with “The Ultimate Survival Manual” by Rich Johnson or a field guides to birds. • Together, visit the non-profit website www. Wonderopolis.org, voted one of TIME magazine’s 50 Top Websites of 2011. Wonderopolis is an effective way to teach nonfiction reading, which the Common

Core State Standards identify as a critical skill. The site’s feature, “Wonder of the Day,” is aligned with these standards, examining a new topic daily. • Is your child interested in baseball? From historical accounts like “Baseball: A History of America’s Favorite Game” by George Vecsey to a book that explains how bats are made, such as “Good Wood: The Story of the Baseball Bat,” by Stuart Miller, you can help kids score an academic homerun. • Inspire the innerchef in your children

and test their ability to follow instructions with “Kids’ Fun and Healthy Cookbook,” by Nicola Graimes. Or opt for a picture-book biography like, “Bon Appetit! The Delicious Life of Julia Child” by Jessie Hartland. Don’t let “educational” and “boring” mean

the same thing in your household. By seeking out reading material that engages your children on their level on subjects that are meaningful to them, you can help them meet the Common Core State Standards, while having a very merry holiday season.
