CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 2016

CREATIVITY ABOUND, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 One of the makers that was in the Williams Center doesn’t necessarily always make a physical product, but instead makes history come alive. The Society for Creative Anachronism’s Shire of Heronter was set up with its historical costumes, artwork and more. The group put on demonstrations in both fencing and dancing.

“Instead of just studying history, we recreate it,” David Salley, also known as Lord Dagonell Collingwood shared.

“We do the costumes, the illumination and the calligraphy, the armored combat, the chainmail, the embroidery, the cooking – any performance done before 1650, there’s someone in the SCA that’s doing it.”

More information on the Society for Creative Anachronism can be found at www.sca.org. The local chapter can be found at www.heronter.info.

Emma Dubois was another maker at the faire. She was there showing people how to do needle felting as well as showing off some of her own stunning work.

“I just wanted to show people about this,” Dubois said of why she came to the faire. “It’s not very well known.

I got a kit for Christmas and fell in love with it. It’s an art form that you can pretty much make anything with.

You’re basically taking wool and you’re interlocking the fibers to make a shape using barbed needles.”

Bringing the Maker Faire to Fredonia was no easy task. Last year, an Invent To Learn event was held on campus.

There was such a great response to that event that talk began of hosting a Maker Faire – a movement that has been going on across the United States for about 10 years.

“I saw these happen in Rochester and in Buffalo and I wanted to get on in the Chautauqua County area,” event producer Bob Spino explained. “Rochester’s first was about the same size.

Buffalo might have been a little smaller their first time. It’s been awesome. We couldn’t ask for better facilities to host it.”

“Fredonia is already interested in hosting it again,” Carlson added. “They were interested before we even kicked this one off. We have high hopes. It’ll depend a lot next year on how well this

one did and what sponsorships we can get.”

This year was funded entirely through sponsorship from either local or national businesses, all of whom should be thanked for their generosity.

This year’s sponsors were: Manufacturer’s Association of the Southern Tier (MAST); Lumsden McCormick LLP; Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation; Fredonia Technology Incubator; Dell; Kensington tech supply; Make Magazine (makezine.com); the Fredonia Science Center; and Erie

2-Chautauqua-Cattarauges BOCES. The event’s volunteers also warrant mentioning as they were an integral piece to the Maker Faire’s success. The volunteers were comprised of E2CCB staff, makers’ family and friends, Fredonia Science Center professors and even some retired Fredonia and E2CCB workers.

The Fredonia Mini Maker Faire was a collaboration between E2CCB, Fredonia and Make Magazine. More information can be found at www.makerfairefredonia.com.

Chamber Corner Contributed Article Chamber of Commerce

There’s a popular meme that routinely makes the rounds on social media. It’s a picture of a small shop with a placard out front that reads, “When you buy from a mom or pop business, you are helping a little girl get dance lessons, a little boy get his team jersey, a mom or dad put food on the table, a family pay a mortgage, or a student pay for college.” That’s essentially true.

A 2010 study by the Michigan State University Center for Community and Economic Development shows that for every $100 in consumer spending with a locally owned business, $73 remains in the local economy and is dispersed through local wages, charitable donations, taxes that fund local services, and purchases of goods and services through other local businesses. The Michigan State study also shows that for each $100 spent with a non-locally owned business, just $43 remains in the local economy.

Study after study over the past few decades have come to the same conclusion, that shopping at locally owned stores has a more significant impact on the local economy. That’s a key reason why the Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce launched its Shop-Tauqua Gift Check program many years ago.

Our goal has been to encourage residents to shop at locally owned businesses in order to support our Chautauqua County economy.

Now we are pleased and proud to have a major partner in this endeavor: the County of Chautauqua Industrial Development Agency. CCIDA is sponsoring this program in recognition of its more-than

$3-million economic impact on our local economy.

Because of this sponsorship and our continued efforts to provide you with an even greater return on your investment in the Chamber we are offering the gift check program free of charge to Chamber members.

In the past the Chamber had to charge a $40 annual administrative fee in order to cover our costs of printing checks and managing the account. Now, thanks to this CCIDA sponsorship, we are able to offer the program to all Chamber member businesses that choose to participate. Accepting Shop-Tauqua Chamber Gift Checks is simple; they are just deposited with your daily receipts like any other check. If your business is not currently participating and you would like to get involved, please contact the Chamber for more information.

In addition, the Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce and our six Community Chambers countywide are very pleased to be participating again this year in Small Business Saturday. Chamber member businesses simply need to notify the Chamber that they are eligible, will be open for business on Small Business Saturday, November 26, and would like to be part of our promotional efforts. The Chamber will be promoting Small Business Saturday online and in traditional media over the next month. The deadline to participate and be sure your business is listed is November 4. Contact the Chamber now for information at 366-6200 or 484-1101.

Dunkirk High, Fredonia State Graduate Named Chief Operating Officer of Good Days Contributed Article Business Wire

PLANO, Texas--Good Days, one of the nation’s largest providers of financial help to seriously ill Americans who cannot afford their medication, today announced the hiring of Randall Odebralski as Chief Operating Officer.

Randall Odebralski is a graduate of Dunkirk High School, class of 1993, and the State University of New York at Fredonia.

Mr. Odebralski joins Good Days after serving as General Manager for Walgreens Specialty Pharmacies in Texas.

In addition to his previous roles in the specialty pharmacy space, he has served in other leadership positions for Walgreens in multiple pharmacy business units throughout the United States for more than 19 years. Through the course of his career, Mr. Odebralski has gained unique qualifications and perspective in patient care while overseeing pharmaceutical operations concerning patients with rare and chronic diseases, in need of long-term or hospice care, in home care or with home infusion therapies, and with mail service pharmacy needs.

“Mr. Odebralski has a deep understanding and experience in the niche healthcare field of chronic and rare disease treatment, having overseen operations at specialty pharmaceuticals for one of the largest and most well-respected specialty pharmacy organizations in the world,” said Clorinda Walley, executive director of Good Days. “Our entire organiza-

tion and the patients we serve will benefit from his expertise and commitment to helping those who face life-threatening diseases and the financial challenges that come with it.”

“Walgreens has long partnered with Good Days to help underinsured patients enroll in their vital financial assistance programs that are a last line of defense for many chronic disease sufferers,” said Mr. Odebralski. “Time and again, I have experienced first-hand the exceptional work that this organization is known for and the countless lives that have been saved as a result. I am honored to join such a dedicated team and to contribute to their work ensuring that people who face chronic illness can enjoy more good days ahead.”

Odebralski is the son of Nancy L. Odebralski and the late Ronald J. Odebralski Sr. Eligible patients can utilize Good Days’ patient assistance programs to cover out-ofpocket costs such as copays or even for travel assistance to and from medical treatments.

At this very moment, millions of Americans are forced to go without medications that can better their lives. Although most chronic disease patients have valid insurance, it’s estimated that nearly 30 percent of them cannot afford their out-of-pocket costs.

With a unique business structure, as well as innovative approach to implementing technology and proprietary systems, Good Days has virtually redefined the way physicians and pharmacies connect with patients. By utilizing a modernized workflow, preva-

lent public fundraising presence and our expansive network of trusted partners, Good Days is continuously pursuing its mission to remove barriers to patient access.

Good Days is one of the nation's largest providers of financial help to seriously ill Americans who cannot afford their medication. We do it simply, efficiently, and with compassion. All of our funding

comes from generous contributions of donors and our pledge is that more than 90 cents of each dollar goes directly to patients who need our help.

Creeley Will Run For Re-Election in Fredonia Contributed Article Catherine Creeley

Fredonia Village Trustee Catherine Creeley announced today that she will run for election in November to remain a member of the Fredonia Village Board of Trustees.

A current trustee, Creeley was unanimously appointed in February of this year to fill a vacancy on the village board.

One of Creeley’s first actions as a trustee was to support amending the Fredonia Village Charter to insure that her own seat would be up for election this November. “In the interest of the democratic process,” she said, “and because I believe that the residents of Fredonia should have a say in who leads the village, I believed it was important to change the charter so that any appointments to the village board are temporary, and that an election for a vacated seat is held as soon as possible.”

As part of her work on the Village Board, Creeley serves as a liaison between village hall and the Fredonia Fire Department, SUNY Fredonia, the Cable Board and the Barker Library Board of Trustees. She also serves on the Website, Lights and Buildings, Trolley, and Parks and Recreation Committees. “I am enjoying the work that the Board is doing to improve the day-to- day operations of Village Government, and I welcome the opportunity that this position gives me to foster better relationships between Village Hall and our business community, local organizations, and the people of Fredonia.”

Creeley believes in financial responsibility in government and respect for taxpayer dollars. If elected, her primary goals are to continue to improve public safety, promote small business and economic development, and address the needs of property owners.

Creeley plans to continue working with the Board and the community to make sure that “Zombie” properties are taken care of, that the streets, sidewalks and parks are tended to, and village departments are working effectively, efficiently and within budget.

She also believes in the importance of timely communication with village residents. “We’ve made strides in the past year to improve our website. Still, I believe we can do more with technology and social media to better inform the public, whether it is the location of a broken water line, brush pickup schedules, or promoting local events. Communities across the country effectively use social media channels like Facebook and Twitter to inform and engage their residents, and I believe we have every ability to do the same.”

“It has truly been a rewarding experience so far,” Creeley said. “I want to continue the work that we have started and see it through. There is so much more that we know we have to accomplish. I think that the Board as it is now is a good representation of the people in the Village, and we are working well together. We don’t always agree on everything, but that is a good thing, because we are able to approach a problem from all sides and work on solutions.”

Born and raised in Jamestown, NY, Creeley graduated from SUNY Cortland and went on to complete her Ph.D. in the behavioral neurosciences at University

of Missouri in St. Louis. After completing a postdoctoral fellowship and working at Washington University School of Medicine, she and her husband decided to move back to Chautauqua County. She is currently teaching in the Department of Psychology at SUNY Fredonia. She and her husband Scott live on Howard St. with their children, Nick, Anne and Emily.

Trustee Creeley’s candidacy is endorsed by the Fredonia-Pomfret Democrats and the Working Families Party. Her name will be on the ballot on Election Day this November 8th.

Trustee Creeley can be contacted by email at: trustcreeley@gmail.com

Schmidt Vows to Reopen and Review Cold and Abandoned Cases Contributed Article Jason Schmidt for DA

Jason Schmidt, candidate for Chautauqua County District Attorney, has announced he will reopen and review cold and abandoned cases within the first 90 days of taking office, specifically citing several major cases including the death of 16-month-old Nayla Hodnett in Jamestown, the disappearances of Corrie Anderson of Ashville and Lori Ceci Bova of Jamestown, and the death of Yolanda Bindics, as well as several others that have not been made public.

“People are literally getting away with murder in Chautauqua County. As soon as I take office, I will appoint a lead investigator with extensive experience in homicide and cold case investigations to coordinate with the local police agencies to assemble a list of unprosecuted homicide and missing persons investigations, and to evaluate each and every one of them to determine what further investigation needs to be done, if any, to go forward with prosecutions.”

“The District Attorney has tremendous prosecutorial discretion on whether to proceed with a case. My approach is much different than that of the current Acting District Attorney who has gone on record stating he will only prosecute cases on which he can sustain a conviction,” said Schmidt. “Not all cases present sure-fire wins for the prosecution. I believe the District Attorney’s Office needs to be the voice for all victims and we absolutely cannot disregard a case and a victim because a District Attorney is more concerned about his trial record than seeking justice for the victim and victim’s family.”

Schmidt noted his 2009 trial against a child sexual predator who was convicted on all counts. According to Schmidt, that was a case he was urged not to take to trial due to the high risk of loss. “But I met with the children and knew in my gut they had been victimized and needed justice. There was no question in my mind or the minds of the police that the defendant committed those heinous acts, even though the evidence wasn’t ideal,” said Schmidt. “The risk of loss was high in that case, but we proceeded anyway. The jury agreed and those children got the justice they deserved.”

Schmidt added, the ability to sustain a conviction depends not only on the evidence presented, but the skill and experience of the prosecutor to effectively present the case to the jury, noting Acting District Attorney Patrick Swanson has only conducted one felony jury trial in New York State since passing the New York Bar five years ago. “That trial was just held during the political campaign, with cocounsel to assist,” stated Schmidt. “The evidence there was so strong that the risk of loss was as minimal as it gets in trial situations. A prosecutor without extensive experience in the courtrooms across New York and specifically here in Chautauqua County will have a much different view of which cases to pursue than one who has that level of experience,” said Schmidt.

Schmidt noted he has won and lost cases but considers them all cases worth fighting for. “Any experienced trial attorney will tell you, if you’re not losing cases, you’re not trying enough cases. You cannot hone a skill or call yourself an experienced trial attorney without trying cases.”

In discussing the abandoned cases, Schmidt acknowledged he has little more information than the public at this point, but in speaking with individuals close to several of the cases, he is very interested in seeing exactly what evidence has been collected.

“In speaking with people involved in some of these cases, I have been told the police provided what they felt was enough evidence to obtain an indictment and proceed to trial,” said Schmidt. “If there’s a chance of proving a case beyond a reasonable doubt, not just any doubt, it's the District Attorney's responsibility to bring those cases to a jury to seek justice for the victims and their families. I will look at the evidence with a fresh set of eyes, and will work with our law enforcement partners to bring justice for those who can no longer speak for themselves.”

3 Simple Ways to Save Time and Money During the Holidays

Contributed Article StatePoint

The holiday season is hectic. Between shopping for gifts, preparing for guests and decorating the home, it can sometimes feel as if there aren’t enough hours in the day or money in the bank to get it all done.

Here are some great ways to stress less and save more time and money during the most wonderful -- but busiest -- time of year: • Rethink Décor: Swap more costly flowers and wreaths for fresh fruit to create a festive feel without breaking the bank. Place lemons and limes in a clear bowl for a colorful centerpiece. Add cheer to doors by hanging a pomegranate from a ribbon. Use any of the extra citrus to garnish drinks. Add warmth to table settings by surrounding candles with pears and cranberries.

• Skip the Checkout Line: Technology is making shopping for gifts and entertaining essentials faster and more convenient. For example, the new Sam’s Club Scan & Go app lets you bypass the traditional checkout lane. Simply scan UPC codes on items in your cart and pay for them directly from your smartphone anywhere in the club. Once done shopping, all you have to do is show a digital receipt to an associate on the way out.

The Jamestown Renaissance Corporation and Jamestown Up Close have announced the theme for this year’s downtown Jamestown holiday parade. The Gift Exchange Christmas Parade and Holiday Celebration, presented by The Resource Center, will feature pre-parade musical entertainment, a traditional tree lighting ceremony with Mayor Sam Teresi, and a fireworks display above the Spring Street parking ramp.

Applications to participate in the parade are now being accepted and are available for download online.

The Gift Exchange Christmas Parade and Holiday Celebration will be held on Friday, December 2, beginning at 6:30 pm. The parade itself will begin on the Third Street Bridge and continue down Third Street toward City Hall. Parade line up will begin at 5:00 pm on West Third Street between Hallock Street and Porter Avenue (Farm Fresh Plaza).

“We chose the Gift Exchange theme this year for two reasons. The first reason is because we wanted to turn the event into a parade of oversized presents marching down Third Street,” said Edwin Rodriguez Jr., events and marketing associate for the Jamestown Renaissance Corporation. “The second reason is to encourage charitable community giving this holiday season,” said Rodriguez. Participants in the parade are encouraged to decorate vehicles and floats as oversized holiday gifts using bows, wrapping paper, lights, and more.

The downtown Jamestown holiday parade has been a long standing tradition in the city for decades.

Dozens of area businesses, social organizations, and nonprofits come downtown the evening of the parade to celebrate the holidays, attend one of many area holiday events, and support local business. One area nonprofit in particular, The Resource Center, has gone above and beyond the call of duty each year to support the parade as a presenting sponsor and serve the greater Jamestown community.

“The Resource Center is pleased to again be supporting the Jamestown Holiday Parade,” said Heather C. Brown, assistant executive director. “We have developed a great partnership with the city and the Jamestown Renaissance Corporation, and we enjoy being a part of this wonderful tradition in downtown Jamestown.” Brown, who also helps lead The Resource Center’s U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots drive each year, added, “Toys for Tots is an amazing complement to the mission of The Resource Center and is yet another way that TRC is able to give back to our community and so many families in need each year.”

To go along with this year’s gift giving parade theme,

(From Left) Greg Lindquist, Executive Director for the Jamestown Renaissance Corporation, Terri Johnson, TRC Director of Employment and Community Services, and Heather Brown, TRC Assistant Executive Director.

area businesses are encouraged to participate in the Toys for Tots program by becoming a toy drop off location. Area residents can also participate by donating new, unwrapped toys for the program to use.

Anyone interested in supporting the Toys for Tots program can call 716-661-1400 for more information.

“The U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program will be collecting toys across the county from November 21 to December 16 this year. We hope that our area businesses and residents will embrace the program and the theme of this year’s parade by donating to families in need of some holiday cheer this holiday season,” said Rodriguez.

DIY: Felt Board

By Katy Wise Contributing Writer

This past weekend, I was involved in the organization of a large fall themed party for the kids at our church.

An event that included lots of crafts, decorating and do it yourself projects.

There are a couple of ideas I'd like to share with you that seemed to be a hit with the kids.

One in particular was a hit with the kids and the adults.

I decided to make my own felt board with little felt shapes that could be used to make a fall scene.

Trees with apples, squirrels, owls and leaves to stick on, and pumpkins with mix and match faces.

This was one of the easiest crafts that I have ever done.

The entire project took maybe an hour and a half total, and cost about $6.

It's also a project that's durable and I expect will last for a while.

Keep in mind, this project doesn't have to take as long if you simplify the shapes that are going on your board.

In the other hand, you can make your shapes as elaborate as you would like.

I was surprised to find hundreds of different ideas and tutorials for small felt shapes and animals on Pinterest.

This is one of those things that you can really take and make your own.

Mine, which I thought was elaborate, is really pretty simple after seeing the hand sewn owls with wings and feathers that others have made.

So here's what you will need...

• Felt in various colors for your shapes • approximately 1 yard of solid color felt for the background • wood or another sturdy, flat surface

• spray adhesive • GOOD scissors, not dull • googly eyes (optional) • fabric or tacky glue Prepare an area to adhere the felt to its surface. We used extra table cover on the floor so we wouldn't get the carpet sticky.

Place felt on the floor, with the front face down. The side of felt that you use doesn't really matter, unless you have a piece of felt with different colors on each side.

Put your wood (or other flat surface) down on top of the felt. We used the back of an old bulletin board.

Now is the time to trim off any excess felt, before spraying your adhesive.

Once you know you have the right fit and have trimmed any extra felt, spray the wood and lay back on top of the felt.

Pull the felt for a tight fit, removing any wrinkles.

Flip over and smooth out using your

hands. You will definitely get sticky. I haven't thought of a way around this yet, so let me know if you have one!

Allow to dry for 5-10 minutes.

Flip board back over, and attach the felt to the sides and a small portion of the back of your board.

Please note, your felt doesn't have to wrap around the edges, but it will give it a cleaner look.

Allow to dry for another 10 minutes before moving.

Cut out your shapes and play!

This occupied our five-year-old for a good 40 minutes the other day. That creation with a basket, pictured above,

is all his handiwork.

In case you were wondering... That's the big bad wolf carrying his basket of muffins through the forest.

Why didn't I think of that!

Anyways, this is a great way to have mess-free, creative (and quiet!) time.

There are plenty of lessons that could coordinate with this too. Counting, Alphabet, patterns, sorting, etc.

Adults like it too. I had lots of fun making the shapes and playing with it.

I am so grateful to have kids in my life just because it gives me an opportunity to play like a kid all over again.

There are plenty of other reasons too, but this one is definitely up there!

That's all for today, though! As always, thanks for reading and happy crafting!

Ring Elementary School Combines Halloween Fun with Literacy Contributed Article JPS

Ghosts, goblins, superheroes and princesses filled Ring Elementary School for its annual Halloween Parade but this year, the Ring staff added a bonus family engagement activity to the Halloween festivities, “Fall into Reading.”

“The Ring Family and Community Engagement (FaCE) team, which consists of teachers, representatives from community organizations, school staff, and parents came up with the idea of connecting our ‘Fall into Reading’ event with the Halloween Parade because we have always had such a great turn out.

We thought this would be a great time to engage parents with an academic focus,” said Ring Elementary School teacher & FaCE committee member, Terry Ortiz. “The goal of the event was to engage parents in a way that was interactive and that would allow them to acquire a new skill to practice with their child at home.”

Every grade level focused on a different ELA skill and had hands-on activities for students and their families to complete before the Halloween Parade. UPK stressed reading aloud with your child. Kindergarten practiced sight words. First grade highlighted story elements such as character, setting and plot. Second grade worked on comparing and contrasting. Third grade emphasized reading comprehension and fourth grade worked on close reading. about school and stronger academic performance.

Athenex Tours Local Schools Contributed Article Chautauqua County Executive’s Office

Ever since the announcement that Athenex expects to bring an influx of employment positions to Chautauqua County, county officials and educators have been preparing for the future workforce needs.

Athenex, in partnership with Empire State Development and New York State, anticipates bringing 900 jobs to the county through its high potency oncology drug manufacturing site. Chautauqua County Executive Vince Horrigan and the Chautauqua County Education Coalition have been actively working with Athenex.

"Athenex will be providing Western New York with jobs of the future," said Howard Zemsky, President, Commissioner and CEO of Empire State Development.

"And Chautauqua County is taking the lead by connecting students to the classes and trainings they'll need for a successful career at the new Athenex facility in Dunkirk."

Horrigan said, “Our goal is to ensure that our Chautauqua County workforce is properly trained to take advantage of these excellent job opportunities.”

Collaborative efforts are ongoing with Athenex and representatives from the Chautauqua County Education Coalition, Jamestown Community College, State University of New York at Fredonia, Erie 2-Chautauqua-Cattaragus BOCES, Dunkirk City School District, Fredonia Central School District, WNY P-TECH STEM College & Career Academy, Manufacturer’s Association of the Southern Tier (MAST), Dream It Do It, Chautauqua Workforce Investment Board, Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation Local Economic Development Committee, and County of Chautauqua Industrial Development Agency (CCIDA).

Most recently, five members of Athenex’s leadership team toured several Chautauqua County schools. Organized by the CCIDA, this tour provided opportunities for Athenex team members to become familiar with curriculum, training programs, facilities, and training equipment available to educate their future workforce.

The day began at WNY P-TECH STEM College & Career Academy at the Erie 2-Chautauqua- Cattaraugus BOCES LoGuidice Educational Center in Fredonia.

Horrigan kicked off the day’s events, highlighting the ongoing collaboration and positive progress for Athenex and the county.

Participants then enjoyed several presentations and demonstrations from current ninth and tenth grade P-TECH students. They also viewed architectural renderings of P-TECH’s future Benson Street facility in Dunkirk, N.Y. At both Dunkirk High School and Fredonia Central School, participants visited classrooms, toured science and computer aided design (CAD) labs, interacted with students, and met with faculty members.

After visiting Jamestown Community College ( JCC) North County Center’s training center to discuss programs and resources, participants traveled to the JCC campus in Jamestown. There they toured both the Science Center and the Manufacturing Technology Institute (MTI). The MTI building houses a variety of programs including Machine Tool Technology, Welding Technology, and Industrial Equipment Technology.

The tour also included the Science Center at the State University of New York at Fredonia. This center houses the school’s Departments of Biology, Chemistry and Biochemistry, and the Environmental Science and Science Education Programs. During a working lunch in the Science Center, the group discussed science, education, and business. Participants also discussed opportunities for interns at all levels.

This tour successfully focused on open dialogue between local educators and Athenex regarding anticipated skills and educational requirements for positions at the new facility.

“The community should be really proud of the people you have around the table here and what you are doing for this project,” said Steve Panaro of Athenex.

Moving forward, Athenex will continue participating in the Chautauqua County Education Coalition Workforce Development subgroup. This information exchange will help local schools

Tips to Throw Better Movie Nights at Home Contributed Article StatePoint

Whether it’s family movie night and you’re watching an old classic, or you’re hosting a big crowd to screen the latest blockbuster, you can take steps to make the viewing experience feel more like the theater -- from upgrading your technology to improving your hosting game.

Here are some cool ideas to help movie lovers better enjoy their favorite flicks at home.

Thematic Snacks When it comes to food and drink, treat guests to all their theater favorites.

Candy bars, soda and popcorn are great standards, and these days, many theaters also offer beer, wine, cocktails and elevated fare.

You can also take it one step further by tailoring your menu to the theme of the movie. Think about the setting, the characters and the plot for inspiration.

But remember, foods that are easy to eat in the dark and don’t make a lot of racket work best.

Upgrade Your Tech Flat screen TVs are great, but for the real theater feel, consider a high-quality projector designed for home use. Look for one that’s low maintenance, easy to turn on and off, and comes with HDMI

terminals as well as a USB power supply.

Since you may not have the option of a windowless room or blackout curtains in your home, seek out a projector that senses ambient light in the room and automatically adjusts its brightness accordingly. For example, the XJ-F210WN LampFree Projector from Casio’s Advanced Series line features Intelligent Light Control that does just that, so viewers can enjoy optimal visuals any time of day and in any lighting conditions. This model also comes equipped with 20,000-hour estimated operating life and reaches full brightness in as fast as five seconds. Its combination of laser and LED light source is a great high-brightness, mercury-free option. More information can be found at CasioLampFree.com.

Costume Party Whether you’re watching a dramatic period piece or enjoying a sci-fi action flick, add a touch of excitement to your party by encouraging guests to wear costumes. This will help get everyone pumped up for the movie well in advance of the screening.

As host you may even want to include a trivia round afterwards and offer prizes to winners.

With a few tech upgrades and hosting tips, movie night just got even more fun.

Opera House Presents Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre’s The Merchant of Venice Contributed Article Fredonia Opera House

In a year full of celebrations commemorating the 400-year anniversary of Shakespeare’s death, the 1891 Fredonia Opera House will present two thrilling captured live via satellite productions from the world’s most famous stage – Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre in London. The second of the two productions is The Merchant of Venice, which will be presented on Sat., Nov. 5, at 1 p.m.

The Merchant of Venice is one of Shakespeare’s most poetically dazzling and morally ambivalent plays. In some of its most highly charged scenes, the bard dramatizes the competing claims of tolerance and intolerance, religious law and civil society, justice and mercy; while in the character of Shylock, he created one of the most memorable outsiders in all theatre.

In the play, Portia, a wealthy heiress of Belmont, is forced to set her suitors upon a challenge. The winner receives her hand in marriage; the losers lose her hand … and much more. In Venice, the epicenter of consumption, speculation and debt, Bassanio borrows money from his friend Antonio to finance his attempt. Antonio, in turn, takes out a loan from the moneylender Shylock. The loan will be repaid when Antonio’s ships return to the city. But if the ships fail to return, and the money cannot be repaid, Antonio will give to Shylock a pound of his own flesh.

When they do fail to return ... Shylock will have his “bond.”

Double Olivier and Tony Award winner Jonathan Pryce plays Shylock in his first appearance at Shakespeare’s Globe. An internationally acclaimed stage and screen actor, he most recently appeared as Cardinal Wolsey in the television adaptation of Hilary Mantel’s Wolf Hall. His extensive theatre work includes Comedians in London and on Broadway for which he won a Tony Award, Hamlet in London, for which

Critics have called it an “exceptionally well-told, well-played, well-paced, welldressed revival ... the Globe at its best!”

he received an Olivier Award, and Miss Saigon, in which he starred on both sides of the Atlantic winning further Olivier and Tony Awards. He also won the Cannes Film Festival and Evening Standard Awards for Best Actor for his performance in the film Carrington.

The production also features Daniel Lapaine as Bassanio, Rachel Pickup as Portia and Dominic Mafham as Antonio.

London’s Daily Mail calls it an “exceptionally well-told, well-played, wellpaced, well-dressed revival ... the Globe at its best!”

Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre is a faithful reconstruction of the open-air playhouse designed in 1599 and a unique

international resource dedicated to the exploration of Shakespeare’s work and the playhouse for which he wrote.

These productions were presented live on the Globe’s stage and captured exclusively for satellite transmission throughout the world through Shakespeare’s Globe On Screen.

Tickets to The Merchant of Venice are $15 ($10 Students) and may be purchased in person at the Opera House Box Office or by phone at 716-6791891, Tuesday through Friday, 1-5 p.m.

They also may be purchased online any time at www.fredopera.org. In addition, Live in HD Series Flex Subscription tickets ($116 for eight tickets) can be used at any Live in HD Series presen-

Fredonia Hockey, DFT Host Community Appreciation Day

By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

The Fredonia men’s hockey team joined DFT Communications in hosting the Third Annual Community Appreciation Day at Steele Hall on Saturday afternoon.

“We’re thrilled to be partnered with DFT and be able to put on such a great event,” Fredonia head coach Jeff Meredith said. “We tell our recruits that it’s not good enough to just come to Fredonia and play hockey for our years. You have to be part of the community.”

The event began with an hour of open skate, during which the Fredonia hockey players joined several dozen members of the community, including children of all ages. Many of the new skaters were helped along by the hockey players.

“It’s great,” DFT Director of Public Relations Dan Siracuse shared. “It’s one of my favorite things I do in my role with DFT. This campus is a great resource for the community. The more the community, the campus and businesses come together, the better.”

After the open skate, the rink was split into three mini hockey games to give the kids a chance to take on members of the Blue Devils squad.

“We have a very strong relationship with the campus and the hockey team,” Siracuse continued. “Jeff Meredith and I got together three years ago and decided this would be a great way to say thank you to the community. It’s a great way to show our partnership with the team and Steele Hall. DFT is a sponsor at Steele Hall for the season. It’s a nice way to come together and host as many people as we can.”

As this was the third year of the event, many of the upperclassmen on the hockey team have been involved since the beginning and look forward to interacting with the community.

“They really do,” Meredith agreed. “They’ve been talking about it. I was just talking about it with the guys before we hit the ice that it’s important to get out there and meet people. You never know when a connection you make is going to help you get to that next step in your life.”

Adding to the enjoyment of the event was a plethora of prizes from both DFT and the hockey team. There was also Tim Horton’s coffee and hot chocolate provided by the campus.

“We have a great relationship with them, too,” Siracuse explained. “They provide the refreshments and DFT purchases the Timbits. It’s a win-win.”

The whole event was a win-win for everyone involved. The community, hockey team and DFT are all closer for having been involved.

“Whether it’s a hockey program, organization or business,” Meredith concluded. “the closer you are, the more successful you’re going to be. An event like this really helps us in a lot of different ways.”

In Like A Lamb 2016 LECOM HEALTH CHALLENGE WINNER EARNS PGA CARD

By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

Rick Lamb is the newest member of the PGA Tour. He’ll be teeing it up with the likes of Jordan Spieth, Rory McElroy, Bubba Watson and more.

It’s not a stretch to say he wouldn’t be there if not for his accomplishments right here in Chautauqua County. Lamb was the winner of the LECOM Health Challenge held in July at Peek’n Peak’s Upper Course.

“It’s pretty awesome,” the 26-yea-old Lamb said about earning his PGA Tour card. “It’s a dream come true.”

The LECOM Health Challenge was a Web.com Tour event in which Lamb survived a four-man playoff, recording a birdie on the second playoff hole to secure his first career pro win.

“Having that experience under my belt is huge,” Lamb added. “I’d be willing to say that the other three guys in the playoff would say that even though they didn’t win, they benefited from that playoff. For whatever reason, I was very calm all day.

Sometimes the adrenaline gets going in situations like that.”

Just to be in the playoff seemed like a longshot going into the final day of competition at the LECOM Health Challenge. Lamb was several strokes behind the leaders before firing off a nearly flawless round of 63 in the fourth round – the lowest single-round score for any golfer during the entire tournament.

Lamb said as soon as he saw the course layout at Peek’n Peak, he knew he could compete.

“I grew up in Indiana which isn’t all that different from up there,” he explained. I was excited to get up there and play on bent grass again and have some weather

Lamb also took the opportunity to enjoy the Peek’n Peak Resort for more than just its world-class golf course.

“We ate at the bar in the hotel six of the seven night because it was so convenient and the food was so good,” he said with a laugh. "We did go to a family-owned restaurant in this wood cabin building a few miles away. We did some zip lining and some outdoor activities they have at the resort. We played some putt-putt with the caddies, too.”

The way the Web.com Tour works is that the top 25 players and ties (among players not already exempt) on the money list at the conclusion of the finals will earn their PGA Tour cards.

This meant that along with Lamb, 32 other LECOM Health Challenge alumni

will also be playing on the PGA Tour this season. That includes both Wesley Bryan, who put on a trick shot show at Shorewood Country Club, and Rochester native Dominic Bozzelli.

Self-Proclaimed Expert Pics: Week 9

By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

Last week vs. spread: 6-7 (.461) Last week straight: 7-6 (.538) Season vs. spread: 51-48-2 (.515) Season straight: 60-41 (.594) Ties in back-to-back weeks? Two former Houston Texans’ legends retiring on back-to-back Mondays? Tom Brady aging like a fine wine and quickly inserting himself into the MVP discussion despite being suspended for four games? Players’ wives taking shots at weathermen? Yup. This is the NFL today.

(It was Alex Smith’s wife, in case you want to Google it.)

It wasn’t a great week, but the SelfProclaimed Expert is always looking to improve.

To the picks!

BYE WEEK: Chicago Bears, Cincinnati Bengals, New England Patriots, Arizona Cardinals, Washington Football Team, Houston Texans.

ATLANTA FALCONS (5-3) at TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS (3-4) Matt Ryan is probably the league’s MVP right now after leading his team to a much-needed win against Green Bay last week. The health of Julio Jones has to be a primary concern on a short week after the stud receiver was slowed with an apparent ankle injury. The Bucs are somehow 0-3 at home and 3-1 on the road. Strange things happen on short weeks with division games, but I’ll take the better team. PICK VS. SPREAD: Falcons (-3). STRAIGHT PICK: Falcons.

PITTSBURGH STEELERS (4-3) at BALTIMORE RAVENS (3-4) Two fierce rivals both come off byes

desperate for a win. Big Ben’s status is still up in the air, but it looks like he’ll miss more time. The Ravens are 6-1 against Pittsburgh while Roesthlisberger is sidelined. Baltimore has lost four straight games after a 3-0 start thanks mostly to a 26th ranked scoring average. Neither running game nor passing attack have clicked yet for Ravens, but Steelers defense has been pretty bad in two straight losses. PICK VS. SPREAD: Steelers (+2.5).

STRAIGHT PICK: Ravens.

NEW YORK JETS (3-5) at MIAMI DOLPHINS (3-4) Ryan Fitzpatrick (yes, that Ryan Fitzpatrick) has led late comebacks each of the past two weeks as the Jets somehow stay alive in the playoff picture. While every game is basically a must-win scenario for New York, a division game is even more so. The Dolphins have also won two in a row. They’ve done so behind a historical performance from Jay Ajayi. The second-year runner will go for a third straight 200-yard game in this one. PICK VS. SPREAD: Jets (+3.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Dolphins.

contention. The Eagles have lost three of four and Carson Wentz only has four touchdown passes in that stretch. The Giants are 32nd in rushing offense, so Eli will have to find another way to avoid that vicious Philly pass rush.

PICK VS. SPREAD: Eagles (+3).

STRAIGHT PICK: Eagles.

DETROIT LIONS (4-4) at MINNESOTA VIKINGS (5-2) Only one NFC North team won last week. It wasn’t either of these two teams. It wasn’t even the Packers. Nope DALLAS COWBOYS (6-1) at it was the Bears. So the division is still CLEVELAND BROWNS (0-8) very much up for grabs with the winner of this one getting a big momentum Oh, so close. The Browns have been competitive in nearly all of their games.

JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS (2-5) at KANSAS CITY CHIEFS (5-2) Blake Bortles continues to regress after a promising sophomore season. The defense is allowing 28 points per game.

The running game is ranked 31st in the NFL. This is a frustrating team.

The Chiefs, meanwhile, continue to roll after a slow start. They dismantled the Colts last week and don’t exactly have a daunting schedule the next few weeks with no teams above .500 on the docket. PICK VS. SPREAD: Chiefs (-8). STRAIGHT PICK: Chiefs.

CAROLINA PANTHERS (2-5) at LOS ANGELES RAMS (3-4) Where was THAT all season? The Panthers just took the Cardinals behind the proverbial woodshed and became the first team to keep David Johnson in check. The schedule isn’t too daunting in coming weeks so Carolina could conceivably get back into contention. The Rams are a weird case. They’re technically in the race, but their 30th ranked offense makes it almost impossible to think they’ll contend in this or just about any other game. What happened to Todd Gurley? PICK VS. SPREAD: Panthers (-3). STRAIGHT PICK: Panthers.

INDIANAPOLIS COLTS (3-5) at GREEN BAY PACKERS (4-3) How much more abuse can Andrew Luck survive? He was sacked another six times last week and now has been brought down a league-high 31 times.

For comparison, Derek Carr has been sacked nine times on 12 more pass attempts. Green Bay is in the top 10 in sacks, so expect a lot of pressure again.

On the other side, Aaron Rodgers has seven touchdowns and zero picks in the past two games after the pundits left him for dead. The Packers desper-

BUFFALO BILLS (4-4) at SEATTLE SEAHAWKS (4-2-1) Will anyone actually suit up for the Bills offense this week? Anyone at all?

That side of the ball has been destroyed by injuries and in each of the last two games, it’s shown. Against a stout Seattle D (even without Michael Bennett), the odds of scoring even one touchdown are slim. Seattle is one of many teams with serious offensive line issues. Russell Wilson is banged up but forced to run for his life more often than not. He shouldn’t have to do much to win this one. PICK VS. SPREAD: Seahawks (-7). STRAIGHT PICK: Seahawks.

HOW WERE MY PREDICTIONS?, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 36 the bottom feeders. Philly actually surprised for a while, but their true colors eventually came through.

It already appears as if next season will probably run a similar course.

NATIONAL LEAGUE CENTRAL Predicted Actual Chicago Chicago Pittsburgh St. Louis St. Louis Pittsburgh Milwaukee Milwaukee Cincinnati Cincinnati Drat. The Pirates fan in me got in the way of another perfect division. Betting against St. Louis is always a risky proposition. The Cardinals just have a way of overcoming injuries, retirement, etc. The Pirates pitching was atrocious and Andrew McCutchen struggled. The Cubs, as every single person on Earth predicted, won the division going away. They have

pitching, offense, defense and coaching. The Brewers and Red probably played games all season, but it’s hard to verify. Neither team mattered at any point during the season.

NATIONAL LEAGUE WEST Predicted Actual Los Angeles Los Angeles San Francisco San Francisco Arizona Colorado Colorado Arizona San Diego San Diego Wow. For as unpredictable as the American League was, the National League was just the opposite. It’s possible some people may have had San Francisco or Arizona (remember they had all the hype after signing Zack Grienke) to win the division, but LA was probably the favorite. Arizona cleaned house after the season it was such a disappointment. The Rockies

continued to be stuck in mediocrity. Are the Rockies MLB’s version of the Buffalo Bills? If the Rockies are the Bills, the Padres are almost certainly the Jaguars, doomed to failure for the rest of time while donning horrible uniforms.

Here’s another quick note on this season. Of the top 13 payrolls in Major League Baseball this year, nine of them made the playoffs. The Yankees, Tigers and Cardinals were all right there until the end. Only the Angels spent money and didn’t compete. You can talk about parity all you want, but it’s still the big markets that are dominating the league. It’s just another reason why teams like Cleveland (and Kansas City and Pittsburgh in previous playoffs) are so much fun to root for. You’ve gotta love the little guy.

So while my predictions may not have been great (in the American League anyway), you can be sure it won’t stop me from coming back with more next year.

Enjoy the baseball offseason!
