Honoring Veterans Recent Events Give Community Special Opportunities to Thank Service Members personal feelings about the sacrifices made by American veterans. Organized by Pete Carlo, a Korean War veteran and past commander of DAV Chapter 47, the ceremony honored veterans for their service and sacrifice to our country. The new stone was donated by Matt and Julie Harper of Four Seasons Nursery, with the removal and placement of the stone in Memorial Veterans Park being donated by Steve and Kim Lundsten of Jensen and Haglund Memorials. A bronze plaque that reads “In memory of all disabled American Veterans For-Get-Me-Not” was purchased by the Disabled American Veterans chapter. While numerous elected officials from various levels of government spoke at both events, the speeches given by New York State Assemblyman Andy Goodell were found by those in attendance to be particularly moving because Goodell has a daughter who has served abroad so he has personally acquired

A pair of special events recently provided Chautauqua County residents some unique opportunities to thank those who have bravely served their country. A new stone was placed in Memorial Veterans Park in the City of Jamestown to honor disabled American veterans of all wars, while dozens of people gathered to honor a wounded veteran who lives in the Town of Gerry. Both of the events were attended by veterans of foreign wars, elected officials and Chautauqua County residents who gave thanks and showed their gratitude for the sacrifices that have been made by our veterans. Members of the Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 865 and the Veterans of Modern Warfare Chapter 20 were among those who got together last month and held a benefit to honor United States Army Specialist Tim Newman, a local wounded veteran who served overseas for two years.
Newman served in the United States Army as an infantryman from 2005 until 2011. Originally from Texas, Newman served in Iraq in 2008 and 2009 when he was wounded. The benefit for Newman was held at On the Hill, a new handcrafted gift store located just outside of Gerry. The event featured an official military service, games and food vendors.
The service itself began with a benediction and musical renditions of both “Taps” and “The Star-Spangled Banner” and also offered a full military salute performed by the color guard and firing squad. The ceremony held in Memorial Veterans Park in Jamestown included various speeches from veterans and Continued on page 11 dignitaries who expressed their

Incubator Businessowner, Veteran, Shares His Story
Veteran’s Day
By Patricia Pihl Managing Editor
Having survived the 9/11 attack at his high school 500 feet from ground zero, Ryan Wolf became an enlisted man and member of the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division, a veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom, serving from 2002-2004. On his way to becoming an officer, Wolf was injured during a night jump, his left knee and ankle incurring numerous fractures. With his military plans dashed, he was given the opportunity to “fly desk” or get out, Wolf decided to leave military service. After being discharged, fate would hand him another blow back in the United States. While riding his motorcycle home from work on the Los Angeles 101 freeway, he was sideswiped by a driver at 70 miles an hour, compounding the injury to that same bad leg. “I was very happy that I survived the incident and walked on crutches a few hours later,” Wolf says while speaking at his business, Silicon Wolves, inside SUNY Fredonia’s business incubator. “I couldn’t work anymore and couldn’t go to school because I didn’t have the money.” Instead, Wolf re-focused his attention back to a longtime interest: computers. “I had worked with computers since I was 9 and had one of the first Intel based computers at the time. Bored after “catching” up in the field, Wolf set his sites on something larger, in fact quite a bit larger. “I thought it would be nice to play with a supercomputer; I understood the concept, but knew nothing about

them.” It was Wolf ’s method of learning more about supercomputers, which exemplified his chutzpah, and lack of concern for orthodoxy. Wolf said he decided to contact the Air Force, saying “you’ve got a supercomputer in upstate New York, you give out accounts to military personnel, I’m a veteran, I like to tinker and play with stuff, and I’m stuck. Can I have an account on your million dollar super computer?” Never thinking anything would come of it, he says he received an email
from a tech sergeant. Wolf was then put in touch with the tech’s commanding officer, and captain of the Air Force. With tongue-in-cheek, Wolf said he explained, “ I’m prior service, my legs are broken, I can’t go to school and can’t work, can I have the keys to the candy store?” He was eventually put in touch with the Deputy Director of High Performance Computing for the Department of Defense and given access to the Arctic Region Super Computing Center in Alaska. At which point he
was told, ‘we got our information from Langley (referring to the CIA background check)- you’re good to go.’ “Before I knew it, I’ve got a login and special security ID card and pin. Imagine 3,000 laptops at your disposal and you can make them do whatever you want simultaneously. For a computer nerd, it’s like I have God at my disposal, what do I do with it?”

Commentary: The Lost Art of Honor would be worthy of a commentary. On this world, the society had been practicing what they called the “Resolution” ceremony. When a person reached 60 years of age, they ended their own life in a ritual, surrounded by family and friends. The essence of this was to end ones life before sickness, frailty, loss of mind and other things that accompany growing old, set in. The purpose- to die a chamBy Scott Wise pion.

are treated. We forget what they stand for, what their lives were devoted to, and what they brought to our society. We throw them under the rug as ‘relics’ and wait for them to die. Fortunately there is hope. I believe that we have the power to change the way we treat our elderly. I have no intention, unless medical necessity calls for it, of putting my parents or my wife’s parents in any sort of home except our own. As family, there is a responsibility that we have to care for each other. I think therein is the problem. As our society strays farther and farther away from the proper (and yes, Biblical) definition of the family unit, we become increasingly engrossed in our own wants and desires, forgoing those of any others- even our family. The episode brought to mind the real ideas of how we treat those who have gone before us. We ought to treat them with the respect and honor they deserve. The day my family becomes a burden for me is the day I’ve forgotten the true meaning of family.
Correction The Open House for Tanglewood Manor’s Comfort Today Adult Day Services was incorrectly stated in last week’s article. The event, which takes place on Saturday, December 1 at 17 Gifford Ave., Jamestown is scheduled for 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. The public is also invited to visit Comfort Today and enjoy free coffee Monday through Thanksgiving from 9-11 a.m.

You’ve heard it said before: Timing is everything. Especially when it comes to starting your Social Security benefits. More than 90% of working Americans are counting on Social Security to replace part of their current incomes when they retire, but the truth is the majority of those already drawing benefits receive permanently reduced amounts due to ill-informed timing decisions. In fact, many Americans fail to take into account the true impact of factors such as age, job status, taxes and marital status when deciding when to start receiving benefits. And that can prove to be a costly mistake. Don’t make the same mistakes other retirees make. It could mean leaving money on the table at atime when you’ll need it most. That’s why it’s important to develop a strategy to maximize your household Social Security benefits and enhance your overall retirement income plan. After all, a little planning now can go a long way – and in this case, we’re talking a lifetime.

Book Signing at Prendergast Contributed Article Prendergast Library
Gail L. Black will speak and sign copies of her first book, “Asses and Angels, A Journey from Abuse to Achievement,” from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 15 at Prendergast Library. The book tells how the author triumphed over abuse and eventually founded the Vinewood Acres Sugar Shack, a unique agri-tourism enterprise located in Westfield on Route 5, a mile east of Barcelona Harbor along the Seaway Trail. Readers learn how she prevailed against religious control, physical abuse and financial manipulation, as she farmed her land and found entrepreneurial success in the business of making fruit syrups from her grandmother’s recipes. Her farm gift shop, which is visited by thousands of world travelers yearly, now sells 27 flavors of these homemade syrups as well as maple products and local crafts. Black recently announced the release of her book at the Sugar Shack Gift Shop, the setting for the memoir. She describes

Traditional Square Dance Fundraiser at Fredonia Grange #1 Contributed Article Joe Kwiatkowski
Fredonia Grange #1 is having a party looking for help to preserve an important part of Fredonia’s past. On Saturday Nov. 10, the Fredonia Grange is inviting the public to join us at a good old-fashioned Traditional Square Dance to raise funds for their restoration efforts for a one hundred year old painting. The dance starts at 7:30 p.m. and goes until 10 p.m. and will be held at the Fredonia Grange #1 hall, 58 West Main St. in Fredonia.. Admission will be $5 per adult, with children 12 and under free. In traditional square dancing, all dances are taught before they are danced, so there is no need for lessons, and no prior square dance experience is necessary. No fancy costumes are needed; just wear comfortable clothes which allow for easy movement. All dances are done to live music. The evening’s two callers are Joe Kwiatkowski of Fredonia, NY and special guest caller Virginia Reed of Port Allegany, PA. Music will be provided by Viol Habits of Fredonia featuring Kathy Petersen, Tim Cudney, and friends. In 1909 Fredonia resident Mrs. Ettie Adams Micklethwait painted a rural scene which she presented to the Grange. Entitled “Early American Rural Farm Scene”, the work depicts a farm scene, complete
with workers, children and animals. The canvas upon which the scene was painted is eight feet tall by twelve feet wide, and has hung in the present Grange Hall since its opening in 1915. The scene represents the Grange’s history and mission of organizing members of rural farming communities. Unfortunately, the painting has seen better days. Years of the heavy weight has left it sagging and starting to rip, while smoke-filled meetings of the past have left the painting soiled and dingy. Funds raised during the dance will go towards the restoration and preservation efforts started by the members of the Fredonia Grange. Among the additional fundraisers will be an old-fashioned cakewalk. Participants in the cakewalk make a small donation and march around the hall until the music stops. The marcher closest to a predetermined spot in the hall will win a cake specially prepared for the dance by Chef David of the Buster Brown Bean Company. Grange members will also be selling raffle tickets supporting the restoration efforts. First prize is a quilt commemorating the Underground Railroad in Chautauqua County. Second and third prizes are smaller Americana type quilts. Tickets are $3 apiece or 2 for $5. Winners will be drawn at the Grange meeting on November 28. Refreshments will also be on sale during the evening.
For those of you who used to enjoy going to local dances, this evening will be reminiscent of all the fun you used to enjoy. For those who have never square danced or only remember it as an activity they did in gym class, it will be an opportunity to reconnect with traditional American music and entertainment while having a great time laughing and moving to music. This is an event that the entire family can enjoy! Fredonia Grange #1 was the first local Grange chapter organized in the United States. It was established on April 16, 1868 by several leading citizens of Fredonia who met with Oliver Hudson Kelley, one of the National Grange founders. Many Fredonians have served the National Grange in one office or another, including Sherman J. Lowell, who served as National Master of the Grange from 1919 until 1923. The present Fredonia Grange Hall at 58 West Main Street was built in 1915 and has served the Grange and other local community organizations for almost one hundred years. The National Grange, founded in 1867, is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, fraternal organization that advocated for rural America and agriculture. With a strong history in grassroots activism, family values and community service, the Grange is part of more than 2,100 hometowns across the United States.

That’s one thing – in the beginning I told my guys, I may not be able to pay you but there will be dessert.” History The band has come a long way from those humble beginnings to network TV. Denver and the Mile High Orchestra wowed all of America, as they made the finale of the FOX-TV “American Idol” spin off “The Next Great American Band.” They’ve garnered praise and a devoted fan base from Greece to Hollywood, having played the Summer Olympics in Athens, and the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. Seeing the band live has created a lot of believers. While the music is what brings the fans of DMHO to the show, the show itself makes a fan for life. “It’s inspiring for different reasons,” said Denver. “There’s nothing like being with people in that moment with you, involved with you, inspired by your songs. There’s nothing better than that.” It can also be a life-changing experience. Changing Lives “I had a guy come up to me who’d been to several of our shows before so he wasn’t unfamiliar to me,” said Denver. “He told me how he had come to that show that night thinking about how he was going to take his own life that weekend, but the things we had to say had so inspired him that God had spoken to him about survival. It completely changed his life. “My guys are just down-toearth every day guys who didn’t give up on the things that we were called to do even though life got hard. If we can inspire people to do the things
Bemus Point United Methodist Church is pleased to bring Denver and the Mile High Orchestra to the Reg Lenna Civic Center on Wednesday, November 28 at 7 p.m. This return visit to the Jamestown area provides an evening of faith and fun as DMHO brings their “Timeless Christmas Tour” to the community and kicks off the Christmas season. Blending red-hot horns with a hip, young rhythm section, Denver and the Mile High Orchestra take the best of classic pop music and combine it with a more modern edge to bring a familiar, yet fresh sound. With Denver Bierman writing and arranging the band’s music, the diverse sounds of legends such as Stevie Wonder and Chicago blend with musical influences like Maroon 5, and Jason Mraz for a refreshing look at contemporary pop and Christian music. While DMHO has been compared to many, the music defies a genre. Silky smooth vocals combine with a wall of sound that calls up the images of old school R&B and modern day soul. What can be defined is a contemporary pop sensibility with a nod to the great horn bands of the past. Beginning in 1999, Denver Bierman and his merry band of musicians that would come to be known as the Mile High Orchestra were putting together an act that would Continued on pg. 13 take them literally to the ends

tremendous pride that I join this ceremony today. Our veterans deserve this honor and so much more.” The idea was first brought to Senator Young and Assemblyman Goodell by Michael Rauh, the Chautauqua County Veterans Services Agency Service Officer and a Gulf War veteran. His letters to their offices were met with eager responses and the two state legislators got to work to pass the legislation. “No heartfelt thanks we can offer will ever be enough,” said Rauh. “No sincere expression of gratitude can assuage the grief of those who lost a loved one. So, how then do we repay such a debt? We remember the sacrifices made on our behalf. We do our best to live good lives and take advantage of the
freedom we have been given.” “This is wonderful for all the veterans from our area – those who served and are here today, those who served and are no longer with us and those who will serve in the future,” said Retired U.S. Army Major General Barclay Wellman. “It is truly an honor and I appreciate all of the work that our state legislators did to make this happen.” “While we are surrounded by many veterans today, I also want to take time to remember veterans who served our country, but are no longer with us,” added Senator Young. “The Chautauqua County community is forever thankful for every veteran who sacrificed so much to keep all of us safe.” “On behalf of the residents
of Chautauqua County, I would like to extend a heartfelt ‘thank you’ to all the veterans and their families,” added Assemblyman Goodell. “This bridge will now serve as a token of our great appreciation, and a reminder to all who travel across it of the sacrifices that thousands of men and women have made on behalf of Chautauqua County and our country.” The legislation to name the Jamestown Veterans Memorial Bridge was passed during the 2012 legislative session. Governor Cuomo signed the bill, which was sponsored by Senator Young and Assemblyman Goodell, into law on July 3, 2012.

There is a local company, which does optic design; they are one of the biggest LED manufacturers in the nation. Hospitals may also want to increase their medical capabilities through

Silicon Wolves, continued from page 1 Seeing the far-reaching potential that super-computing held for the fields of research, business and medicine, Wolf said he asked himself, “Why don’t we make the core of super computer technology more accessible? What if we could offer smaller systems, with just the basics for $5,000- $20,000.’ The idea for Silicon Wolves was then born. According to Wolf, there are six or seven core markets for
super computing systems which include Computer Aided Manufacturing, (CAD), Computer Aided Engineering, digital content creation, life sciences, electric magnetic, oil and gas discovery and general scientific computing. Or, “anything that requires math to be crunched or graphics to be displayed.” Wolf uses the example of medicine- and specifically radiology. “There is model simulation software to prop-

With an off the shelf to computer, Wolf says it may take two days to “see” what is going on, but with better processing power, better the technology can be deployed to help patients. “We’ve got one client that we are working with this is trying to do cerebral spinal fluid dynamics, attempting to try to understand how spinal fluid moves within the spinal

Editor’s Note: The following letter and poem were submitted to The Chautauqua Star by Bill Matteson, after a visiting the moving Vietnam Wall in Eden last summer with his son, Cameron. I wrote this poem during the ceremony because I saw a man from a distance, which for some unforeseen reason caught my attention. This man, who I found out later to be named ‘Don,’ was standing with fists clinched and the other hand placed tightly on the Wall. I knew then that he had lost a dear friend and was a hero veteran himself. I casually walked toward this gentleman with my three year old son, Cameron. As we walked closer, Cameron asked me what was wrong with the sad man. I explained that I believed he was a hero from a war. When I approached the individual, I asked if I could introduce myself. He immediately grabbed my hand, gripped it tightly and smiled with bellowing tears falling from his face. I interrupted him and said “I thank you for being a hero to me and for allowing us our freedom. I am proud to know you, even though I know nothing about you.” At that moment he and I cried. Funny how two total strangers can feel. like family, when an emotion is sincere. When we walked away, Cameron walked up to the man and stood in front of him in what we consider an attention stance, and saluted him. You have no idea how I felt watching my little boy appreciate and acknowledge a man he knows nothing about. I had to ask Cameron how he knew to salute. My little boy simply smiled and said, ‘“Daddy, I saw a different man do that and I want to be like him.”’

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 particularly
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 unexpect-
ed 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!
Weekly Word
Your Spirit Nature- Controlling the Mind
Rev. Tim Stahlman Family Church Jamestown www.thenewfamilychurch.com
Many people are struggling in life because they have not learned to gain control of their mind the way God’s Word instructs. Romans 8:6 says, “For to be carnally minded is death but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.” People who allow their mind to be flooded with carnality and obsessions of the natural world will never live in peace. The Bible is clear: Control your mind with spiritual things or else your mind will control you with desperate living. So what do you do with your mind? First of all, you must dedicate your life to Jesus Christ. You must have the
Holy Spirit dwelling in your heart before you ever are going to succeed. You can’t do this under your own strength. Secondly, you must value the importance of right and wrong thinking. Proverbs 23:7 says, “As a man thinks in his heart so is he…” That means the thinking in your mind will dictate how your life is. Your life is the fruit of your thoughts. Take a look at a person’s life: If they are addicted, desperate, and filled with worry it’s because corresponding thoughts have a hold on their mind. Do you see how important your thought life is? The Bible gives us simple
instructions about what to do with our thoughts and imaginations. 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 says, “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of STRONGHOLDS; casting down IMAGINATIONS…and bringing into captivity every THOUGHT to the obedience of Christ.” Notice I have emphasized the word “strongholds.” Some people believe that strongholds are patterns of living in a certain city or region being inspired by demons living in the air over that area. For example, if a city had a large amount of alcoholics, these folks would believe
that demons hovering over the city have created an alcoholic “stronghold” in that city. And they believe that you must “pull down” those demons if that “stronghold” is going to be destroyed. That’s foolish and completely not Biblical. No, if you are going to deliver people from strongholds you need to tell them about Christ and get them saved. Jesus then told us to make disciples of all nations. That word “disciple” means “student”. A student is someone who is taught right and thinks right. LOOK AT THE VERSES! It tells you how to cast down strongholds: By casting down IMAGINATIONS and by keeping
THOUGHTS obedient to Christ. Where do imaginations take place? Where do thoughts take place? IN YOUR MIND! A stronghold is a pattern of living that originated with a thought. So what does that mean? It means that thoughts are trying to produce lifestyles for you to live. A thought is a seed seeking a harvest in your life. You need to question your thoughts. “Do I want a harvest of that thought?” If not, you have to speak up and interrupt that thought and say, “I don’t take that thought” or “No, I won’t think that way.”

Contributed Article CRCF
In January, 1956 Falconer High School graduate and former mayor of Falconer, Lou Schrader, passed away after a short illness. In addition to his wife Sylvia, five children and 19 grandchildren, Schrader left behind a close knit group of fellow graduates. In honor of their 56th High School Reunion this year, the Class of 1956 made a donation of $1,750 to the Our Lady of Loreto Fund, administered by the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation, in memory of Schrader. During his high school career, Schrader was a scholar athlete, playing on the undefeated football team, basketball team and championship baseball team. He was a member of the National Honor Society as well as the high school band. After graduation, he attended Jamestown Community College. He was employed by the Bank of Jamestown, Burroughs

SUNY Fredonia Donates Inscribed Book to Robert H. Jackson Center
SUNY Fredonia President Virginia Horvath presents an inscribed copy of “The Case Against the Nazi War Criminals,” to President & CEO James Johnson of the Robert H. Jackson Center in Jamestown.

reports as being in wonderful condition and having its original dust jacket, being purchased by the library. He suggests it may have been donated by someone who purchased it from a rare book dealer. “The librarian in me wanted to keep the book, but from the perspective of an archivist you want to put things where they belong,” Gadikian said. And the Jackson Center, located in nearby Jamestown, where Jackson lived and practiced law for 22 years, was the obvious choice for the book’s new home. Sternberg was Jackson’s personal secretary from 1938 to 1945, the years Jackson served in Washington, D.C. as U.S.
Solicitor General, U.S. Attorney General and associate justice of the Supreme Court. She also accompanied him to London to prepare the London Agreement, which established the laws and procedures for the Nuremberg Trials. Jackson gave the book to her as a birthday gift. The inscription reads: “R.M.S. from R.H.J. ‘as of ’ Sept. 1st, 1946. And as Shakespeare said ‘a poor thing – but mine own.’” The “as of ” was intended as a joke, meaning that the gift was to take effect on Sternberg’s birthdate. “While it was not common for Jackson to write these personal notes, he often did when the book was being given to
friends and associates with whom he felt close,” said Debra Pacos, development coordinator of the Jackson Center. “I thought the inscription was pretty indicative of the Jackson I have come to know through his writings,” Pacos said. “The Case Against the Nazi War Criminals” spans more than 210 pages and includes Jackson’s opening statement, which itself runs 33 pages. It was one of two books written by Jackson that were published by Alfred A. Knopf and based on his Nuremberg experience, which set the standards for modern international law. Jackson, who did not attend college or graduate from law school, rose from a humble beginning to become a prominent trial lawyer in Western New York before being appointed U.S. Solicitor General, U.S. Attorney General and then, in 1941, U.S. Supreme Court Justice. Following the Nuremberg Trials, he returned to the Supreme Court and
expanded his reputation as one of the brightest, most articulate judges to serve on the high court. He suffered a fatal heart attack in 1954, shortly after participating in the unanimous decision in the Brown vs. Board of Education desegregation case. Legislation naming the new U.S. Federal Courthouse in downtown Buffalo in honor of Jackson was signed Oct. 12 by President Barack Obama. The 10-story courthouse, which opened last fall, houses U.S. District Court and Court of Appeals as well as offices for U.S. Attorneys, Marshalls and Probation. More than a dozen items written by or about Jackson, beginning with the 1941 edition of his “The Struggle for Judicial Supremacy” to the recently published children’s book by Gail Jarrow, simply titled “Robert H. Jackson,” are part of the Reed Library collection.

Marketing 101
LET’S TALK ABOUT YOUR MARKETING GOALS
716.366.9200
By Jennifer Pulver Star Media Group, Creative Director
For 20 years, I have been helping small and medium sized business owners create and fine tune their marketing to create sales and draw people to events. Small and medium sized businesses have unique marketing challenges. Often the owner or the general manger is serving as the “marketing manager” of the business. Since marketing is more diverse and vast today than it was ten years ago, researching and implementing a solid marketing plan can be challenging. Here are Marketing Tips, which anyone can use to help them achieve better sales results. Listen to your customers, not your old marketing books. If you want to reach your existing customers and grow possibilities of reaching new customers begin a dialogue with your customers. Once you find out what your customers think about products you offer, the value those products offer, and how to reach your customers, your business can focus on creating a marketing plan and marketing materials that respond accurately. Literally, there are hundreds of marketing solutions available to any business. The key to correctly choosing what your business will apply is based on who you are trying to reach, what you have to offer and where the message will best be heard and acted on. Internet marketing –take your website seriously Most small businesses are unaware that they could receive more leads, phone calls and sales from interested prospective clients; if only they had a professionally designed, search engine optimized website.

Rotary District 7090 Governor Rick Sterne met with the Rotary Club of Jamestown at a recent meeting. He explained that his goals included: Peace Through Service. This includes conflict prevention
When a website is designed well it appeals to customers by being easy to navigate. A well designed site also provides the information that customers are looking for based on the information gathered during the listening phase of a complete marketing plan. The secondary, but equally important aspect of a business website is to have that site optimized for search engines. Of course, Google is the leader in the search engine business, but all search engines return choices on any given search based on relevant content. Optimizing keywords and phrases to help your business site be found can be easily overlooked by smaller businesses. The difference between an optimized site and one that is not is similar to a business on Main St versus a location on a back road. Something else small businesses need to know: Almost everyone now uses the Internet to ‘check out’ a potential business. Customers research you before deciding whether to do business with you or not! No matter who your niche market is, statistics show that online research has become the norm. It is critical to be aware of what your website is ‘telling’ them about your business? Google created a free booklet entitled “The Zero Moment of Truth” which outlines a shift in how people research and arrive at the moment of purchase. Finally, regarding your website and Google, install Google analytics on your website. This powerful and FREE tool provided by the search engine giant allows multiple levels of tracking within your own site. Analytics is a must have on any site as it generates detailed statistics about the visits to a website directed at marketers. The analysis provided can identify poorly performing pages with techniques such as funnel visualization, where visitors came from (referrers), how long they stayed and their geographical position. It also provides more advanced features, including custom visitor segmentation. An amazing amount of information is available. Content marketing – Learn how to use content to market
your business! Content marketing works. In fact, it works really well. Businesses who successful expand on their own expertise and offer authority positions through the use of well written informative online content. You may or may not be familiar with the phrase “Content Marketing”, yet you visit content marketing sites every time you access the Internet. When you visit news sites, entertainment sites, blogs which offer business advice, you are visiting a site that uses content to market itself. Content Marketing can successfully be used to market any type of business and it is valuable when it comes to attracting new clients, sales leads, inquiries and subscribers. Equally, the search engines reward content creation so the addition of content marketing adds to overall search engine optimization. If you are unfamiliar with content marketing, here’s how it works: You build and market your website. Within your site you offer FREE information that has real value to your prospective clients, at the same time you are offering them the opportunity to purchase goods, services (or both), which are closely linked to the information you give away. From a perspective of potential customers the information you provide lends credence to your business as a knowledgeable and reliable resource. The content also assists the search engines in finding your site by adding, and strengthening various keywords and phrases. Again, an increase in your site’s organic ranking equals the difference between a Main Street location or a back road location. If you find yourself working hard on your marketing and not getting the sales results you want, stop! Make sure you are doing the right things, then ensure you are doing them correctly. If you are not already doing any of the above marketing activities – give them a go because we already know they work extremely well. That’s a great place to start.
Dream It Do It IPODS Event Draws a Crowd Any time you find yourself in the midst of 500 high school students who are interacting with adults the enthusiasm becomes infectious. This was the case just over a week ago when the Dream It Do It initiative partnered with Jamestown Community College, over 30 manufacturers from throughout Chautauqua County, and eighteen local school districts to bring people together in a unique way. Far from your average job fair, this Industrial Possibilities and Opportunities Day (IPODs) gave local students a chance to learn about career paths in manufacturing. All of the students who registered also had a chance to win one of five iPads and, as an extra incentive, the more they talked with company representatives the more chances they got to win. It was extraordinary to watch so many young people directly interact with local manufacturers – asking questions and learning about the many different types of jobs that are available right here in our own county. A large variety of students attended: many who are already interested either in hands-on manufacturing, engineering, or associated fields; and many who had never before thought about what type of work they might eventually like to do. They learned that in many cases additional training or education is required for specialized manufacturing fields, and much of that education may be available locally. The manufacturers in the room were obviously very pleased with the turnout and with the chance to talk with so many prospective employees. “This is our future,” one of them said. “We will have a lot of retirements over the next few years and we need to have a trained and interested workforce moving forward, or else we won’t exist.” Students who won the iPads were: Clarke Wiltsie from Frewsburg Central High School, Edward Merwick from Jamestown High School, Ryan Boughton and Justin Whalen both from Maple Grove High School, and Hannah HallGross from Pine Valley Central
High School. Dream It Do It is designed to entice students to consider careers in manufacturing. The initiative is expanding throughout Western New York.

Meet Our New Congressman The Chamber of Commerce is providing a unique opportunity this coming week for area business people to meet with a brand new representative in Congress. Just days after the election, the Chamber will present our annual Federal Congressional Luncheon, to be held Friday, November 9 at Moon Brook Country Club. Both Republican candidate Tom Reed and Democratic candidate Nate Shinagawa have accepted the invitation, and whoever wins the election will be the Chamber’s guest speaker that day. Since new Congressional District lines were drawn following the 2010 Census, this is the first election for the new 23rd Congressional District. As a result, the nature of the district has changed and this will be a first chance for our new Congressman to meet with his constituency. The cost of the luncheon is $18 for Chamber members or $21 for non members. This event is sponsored by Advanced Manufacturing Technology, Jamestown Mattress Company, Jamestown Savings Bank Arena, Lake Erie Regional Health System of New York, Medicor Associates, NRG Dunkirk Power, WCA Hospital, Jamestown Jammers Baseball, OBSERVER, The Post-Journal, Chadwick Bay Broadcasting – WDOE/KIX96, and WJTN/WWSE/WKSN/ WHUG/WQFX. To attend, call the Chamber at 366-6200 or 484-1101 to register, or may register online at www. chautauquachamber.org. Social Media Classes Offered The Chamber of Commerce and JCC’s Office of Continuing Education will be offering four new social media classes for business in the coming weeks.

Q&A
Check the dryer before closing door
SAFE AT HOME
A move is the perfect time to convert outdoor cat to inside life Cats are attracted to soft, warm laundry — but the dryer can be a deadly trap. Q: One of my co-workers had a horrible experience: Her cat died in the dryer. There were some clothes in there, still warm, and her teenage daughter threw more in without looking, and turned on the dryer. I did an Internet search, and found out this isn’t uncommon. Can you spread the word? — via Facebook A: Cats love warmth, and at this time of year they are especially eager to search out the warmest, softest place to nap. As you now know, sadly, it’s easy for a person not to notice a cat in the dryer, to add clothes and then turn on the appliance. Over the last 25 years or so, I have had two co-workers lose cats that way. Heartbreaking. The obvious answer is to keep the dryer door shut at all times, but it’s hard to get an entire family to comply. If you can’t be sure you can keep the door closed, it’s important to convince your cat that the dryer’s not a good place to nap. You can try scaring your cat to help convince him to stay clear of this dangerous appliance. If you find your cat in the dryer, close the door for a few seconds (with the machine off, of course) and pound on the metal with your palms, making as much noise as you can. Then open the door and let your cat make a run for it. I normally would not recommend any training method that would scare an animal, but the risk of death here is too great to ignore. A couple of scary moments in the dryer is vastly preferable to such a horrible death, in my book. — Gina Spadafori Do you have a pet question?

few months ago, I moved to a place for all my animals, not only three dogs and a cat, but also chickens, ducks, horses and goats. While it’s good to have everyone together — and a big garden planned for spring — there was one change I made for one of them that was long overdue: I ended my cat’s roaming days. In effect, I was taking my own advice. I’m well aware that a cat who has been used to going out as he pleases won’t accept a closed door quietly. But when you move, everything’s new, and a cat won’t miss territory he hasn’t claimed as his own.

War dogs getting national monument • The nation’s military dogs will soon be honored with a monument to their service. The U.S. Working Dog Teams National Monument will show a handler flanked by four dogs representing breeds commonly used in modern wars — a Doberman, German shepherd, Labrador retriever and Belgian malinois. Credit for the effort goes to John Burnam, who served in Vietnam with military dogs and spent years pushing the idea of a national monument for war dogs. While there are other monuments, none has been elevated to national monument level, where it will be in the company of the Statue of Liberty and Mount Rushmore National Memorial. After a tour, the bronze monument will head to Lackland Air Force Base, Texas, which is home to the military’s dog-training center. • Anyone hoping for a reduction in rat sightings in New York City in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy is likely to be disappointed. According to National Geographic online, Manhattan’s hardiest residents may be even more visible in the weeks to come. That’s because the rats who survived likely took the subway stairs to the surface, and are now taking refuge in every trash can and hole in the wall in the city. • When a pet bites, the first step is to get a veterinary exam with diagnostic tests to rule out any health problems. The next step is to work with a behaviorist. Beware of simple answers. Any combination of factors may be triggering aggression, including fence-fighting, displaced aggression, dominance, drug sideeffects, other pets, pain triggers, predation, possessiveness, fear, hormonal changes, protection of young, pack response, play, protection of home or family, neurological abnormalities, improper socialization, and intentionally or accidentally trained behaviors. — Dr. Marty Becker and Gina Spadafori

Chautauqua County Humane Society Pet of the Week
Pet of the Week This week we are featuring “Taboo” and “Midnight”. Taboo is a one and a half year old black lab mix. He knows “sit”, “down” and “shake”. He loves attention and playing with other dogs. He can be strong on a leash, so he will need work with that. Because he is a young dog, he will need daily exercise to keep him at his best. Midnight is a three and a half year old short-haired kitty. She is very sweet but can be a bit shy sometimes. She gets along with other cats and has the shiniest coat. A quieter home would be best for her. Please stop in at the Strunk Road Adoption Center and meet either of these two great pets.

Ruined At The Ralph: Four County Schools Watch Season End By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor
Four county teams headed to Ralph Wilson this weekend with hopes of lifting a league championship trophy. Unfortunately, one by one, all four went down, signifying the end of the football season here in Chautauqua County. It started with heavily favored Maple Grove on Friday night and ended with Jamestown’s 35-20 loss on Saturday night. Sprinkled in between was Fredonia losing a nail-biter to Cleve Hill and Clymer making one too many mistakes against Ellicottville. Start where it ended, as Jamestown could not keep the run game of Orchard Park down and get a stop when they needed it. Things started off well, though. Jamestown forced Orchard Park to turn it over on downs on each of their first two possessions. Unfortunately for Jamestown, they also stalled inside Orchard Park territory before turning it over on downs and were forced to punt on their second possession. Orchard Park broke the tie with Austin Goltz catching a touchdown pass from Ben Holmes midway through the quarter, but the Red Raiders answered right back as Mike Watson recovered a fumble (on offense) in the end zone to tie things up at 7 before halftime. “I felt good at halftime,” Jamestown head coach Tom Langworthy said.

By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor
A disappointing year for Chautauqua County football came to an end Saturday night when Jamestown, the county’s final team, lost to Orchard Park 35-20 in the Class AA Final. In fact, it’s the first time since 2007 that none of the County’s football teams will head into the state playoff system after Jamestown, Fredonia and Maple Grove all lost in the sectional championship this past weekend. Of the 16 county teams, 11 made the sectional playoffs and four advanced to the league championship. In addition, Southwestern and Pine Valley each lost in their respective consolation championships. So a week before I release The Star’s All-County teams, let’s take a look at some of the players and coaches around the county who had stellar seasons. These are listed in alphabetical order. Players are nominated for only one position.

RUINED AT THE RALPH continued from pg 1 “They ran the ball better than us and won the battles up front,” Langworthy said. “If you win the battles up front, you’ll win 95 percent of the time. But it doesn’t change how I feel about these seniors and our year. “They just came out and played better than us in the second half,” he continued. “But it was a pleasure to coach these guys and we’re going to continue what we do after taking a few weeks off.” Fredonia seemed to be in complete control of the Class C Championship right off the bat. Weston Ley opened the game with a 52-yard touchdown run a minute into the game and Hillbillies took a 14-6 lead into halftime. They had held Cleve Hill’s star running back Brandon Thomas to one yard rushing on four carries.

a strike to Ben Larson to move the chains. Again Jamestown would drive the ball deep into Orchard Park territory, but Sisson was intercepted on the 16th play of the drive. On the second play of the ensuing drive, Wilson ripped off an 80-yard touchdown that seemingly put the game away after a two-point conversion. It especially seemed over when Jamestown went threeand-out and gave Orchard Park the ball with less than eight minutes left in the game. But, it swayed almost immediately when Mike Watson returned a fumble for a touchdown on a play that would have given the Quakers a first down with less than six minutes left. But, Jamestown could not get a stop and Modkins finished the game off with a 29-yard touchdown at the 2-minute mark.

for all your community news www.starnewsdaily.com 2. Maple Grove (9-1)
Just as Bob Ball drew it up. Before the game, he talked about limiting Cleve Hill’s big plays and keeping Thomas from getting outside. That all changed immediately in the second half. Aaron Jackson returned the opening kick 75 yards for a touchdown after he fumbled it and avoided two Fredonia tacklers diving for the loose ball. After a Fredonia punt, Thomas took the first handoff for an 84-yard touchdown. Just like that, after one offensive play in the second half, Cleve Hill was up 22-14. Fredonia battled, though, and after back-to-back punts in the third quarter, they moved the ball well and scored with a little less than four minutes left in the game as Ley ran for another touchdown, capping an 11-play, 79-yard drive. It included a clutch, one-handed catch from Cody Smith on a 3rd-and-10 pass that was thrown well behind him. But, Fredonia missed the two-point conversion and still trailed by two. Their onside kick was no good, but stopped Cleve Hill immediately and the Eagles were faced with a 4th-and-1 from their own 44 with a minute left. They opted to fake and Fredonia
stopped it giving the Hillbillies a chance to win the game. They got it down to the 29yard line, but Ley’s pass on fourth down fell incomplete and the Eagles had won. Amazingly, Fredonia held Cleve Hill to just four first downs, but were victimized by the big play. All of Cleve Hill’s touchdowns were over 50 yards and the difference was one two-point conversion. Ley combined for 234 total yards to lead the offense and Zach Buckley had 10 tackles. Maple Grove, the No. 1 team in the state, came in as the favorites against archrival Randolph, but the Red Dragons simply couldn’t get star running back Oliver Simpson moving and in contrast, couldn’t stop Cardinals running back Jordan Dowiasz. Dowiasz scored from 37 yards out just a minute before halftime to give Randolph control and a 14-0 lead without even allowing the Red Dragons inside their own 40. It was more of the same in the second half as Maple Grove finally crossed the Randolph 40 on their first drive, but turned it over on downs as the drive stalled soon after. Maple Grove’s defense kept them afloat and the Red Drag-
ons had great field position at their own 44 while still trailing by two scores early in the fourth quarter. But after a first down, Germain was intercepted. Three plays later, Dowiasz finished the game with a 55yard touchdown run. Maple Grove ran just 12 plays in Randolph territory and four inside the 40. The 321 rushing yards were also the most Maple Grove allowed all year. And then there was Clymer who came out flat and couldn’t get the punt snaps down. Ellicottville scored early and often in the first half and Phalla Musall torched them for 115 yards rushing in the first half. It was Cam Wilson running in the opening touchdown two minutes into the game. After a Clymer three-and-out, a bad snap gave Ellicottville the ball at the 24. Musall capped a 5-play drive with a 6-yard touchdown. Musall ripped off a 42-yard touchdown and Wilson caught one from 35-yards out on a wide receiver, reverse pass. Before you knew it, it was 34-0 at halftime. Connor Payne had a two-yard touchdown run in the second half and Wiggers scored in the fourth for Clymer for a final of 34-16.
— Almost out of nowhere, the Red Dragons season ended at the Ralph in a blowout loss to Randolph. Still surprised Maple Grove couldn’t stop the Randolph run. Last week: 2.
3. Fredonia (7-3)
— The Hillbillies let one get away as big plays killed their defense and a final drive came up short. For what it’s worth, the Hillbillies made enough plays to win, but just couldn’t make the big play to put them over the top. Last week: 3.
4. Clymer (7-2)
— Whatever it was, the Pirates simply didn’t play their best game and lost at the Ralph for the second year in a row. Still, it was a good season from Clymer and they’ll be in the DD mix again next year. Last week: 4.

After Notre Dame Escapes, Berardino Presented With Game Worn Jersey From 1969 Contributed Article BCS Disaster Brews On Chautauqua County Sports HOF
Chris Winkler COMMENTARY
My normal college football Saturday was derailed a little bit this past weekend. No, I’m not complaining that I got to sit up in the cozy Ralph Wilson Stadium press box to watch three county football teams battle for sectional championships. But, it did stop me from missing a heartstopper between Notre Dame and Pitt. I was able to catch the end of the night games, including Alabama’s come-from-behind win, Kansas State’s convincing win and Oregon’s nonstop offensive train that blew through Los Angeles. But, that along with a comment from a non-college football fan friend of mine got me thinking. “What’s the playoff format again?” he asked. Ugh, I thought. Yes, college football finally decided to move to a playoff system to determine its national champion, it just can’t get here soon enough. To be fair, we have no idea how this regular season will end, but you can already tell that we have four undefeated teams that play big time schedules. And, it’s possible each of them finish the season with a donut in the loss column. Could a four-team playoff ever have been needed more so than this year? What we’ve always been worried about has been the dilution of the regular season. I’ve said it probably a million times over the last year in this space, but college football thrives on its regular season — its playoffs are the regular season. But that’s an imperfect system. Rarely do we ever have two teams more deserving than a hundred others. It’s just as obvious this season as we’ll more than likely have at least three teams finish undefeated (try not to forget about Louisville or ineligible Ohio State). Someone is going to be left out. But, as I wrote about last year, the four-team playoff won’t hurt the regular season that we’ve all grown to love. Take Notre Dame (and Alabama and Kansas State and Oregon) who played late into the night Saturday in a double overtime game knowing they had to win. Well, with a four-team playoff, Notre Dame — and the rest of those teams — would have needed to win still. Well not Alabama you say. But in reality, the Crimson Tide would have lost the SEC West Division, lost a chance to play in the SEC Championship game and likely lost its spot in the top four. The other three know they’re a loss away from being eliminated this year, but they’re still a loss away from being
knocked out of the top four, too. It’s just such a shame that none of that argument really matters. And it won’t matter until 2014 when we’ll have long forgotten about this predicament. So let’s focus on what we have and what we know. Right now, with apologies to Louisville, both Florida schools and Georgia, it’s a four-team race for two spots. If somebody stumbles, those four schools are next in line, but we don’t really know in what capacity. Alabama, if it wins out (still has Texas A&M and likely Georgia in conference championship), is going to play for a second straight championship. Crazy scenarios possibly even have the Tide being favorably high as a one-loss team, but common wisdom says they’d drop out of the top two. Regardless, who can see this team losing? So, what it really boils down to is a three-team race for one spot. In that spot right now is Kansas State led by its Heisman frontrunner Collin Klein. Can they hold off fast-charging Oregon? Can they hold off America’s favorite team in Notre Dame? According to my projections, if all three win out, Oregon will jump Kansas State. But, that’s not what’s important here. The importance is that we’re staring down a disaster. Notre Dame only has one truly difficult game remaining when they head to Los Angeles to face archrival USC. Kansas State has two somewhat difficult roadtrips to TCU and Baylor before hosting potentially rejuvenated Texas. Oregon has Stanford, archrival Oregon State and the Pac-12 championship game. What if all three win out? How do you think Notre Dame fans will handle being 12-0 and playing in the Fiesta Bowl? Better yet, what if they’re facing 12-0 Kansas State in that game? Doesn’t the winner have a legitimate claim to be the national champion? History and raw odds tell us somebody is going to lose, but time is running out on this season. You don’t have to look very far in the almanacs to see top undefeated teams losing in November. But it doesn’t mean it has to happen. Sure, this Saturday, like the ones to follow will be can’tmiss TV. As we’ve said all along, those are the playoffs. But that imperfect system will rear its ugly head if those four teams are all perfect. And, still we forget about Louisville, who does actually play in a BCS conference, too. Maybe all of this complaining won’t matter two or three weeks from now. Maybe the BCS will be left with an easy choice of two unbeaten teams. We’ll just have to wait and see. But a storm is brewing. And while the powers that be were willing to add a playoff system, they weren’t willing to fight for it to happen sooner. And perhaps for that reason alone, I’m rooting for that disaster.

Triche's 23 Leads Syracuse In Exhibition; Open Friday Night By John Kekis Associated Press
Michael Carter-Williams had 15 points and eight assists with two turnovers, C.J. Fair had 12 points and freshman Jerami Grant had 11 points. Redshirt freshman guard Trevor Cooney, back after a tonsillectomy, played 23 minutes and scored six points, hitting 2 of 5 from long range. Dontahe Jordan had 14 points, Lorenzo Christmas 13 and Wes Lyons 12 to lead Bloomsburg. Orange coach Jim Boeheim said he planned to play nine players all season, and he didn't waver in this one as nine players logged double-digit minutes. Bloomsburg, whose tallest starter was 6-foot-6, had trouble making any kind of penetration against the bigger Orange. Syracuse forced 16 turnovers in the opening half, committed only five and took 13 more shots, hitting 25 of 37 (67.6 percent). Syracuse, which beat Pace 99-63 on Thursday night, opens its season Friday at San Diego State and returns home to face Wagner nine days later.
SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) — Brandon Triche had 23 points and seven assists, James Southerland added 17 points and No. 9 Syracuse beat Bloomsburg 103-60 in an exhibition game Sunday. The Huskies, who lost 87-65 to Towson in an exhibition Thursday, stayed close against the Orange at the outset. Nasir Jones hit a 3-pointer from the wing and followed with a runner in the lane to move Bloomsburg within 15-12 less than Cody Zeller is the No. 1 player in the country on the No. 1 team 6 minutes into the game. in the country.

Doctor: Colts Coach Pagano's Leukemia In Remission
President: Penn St. Better Than A Year Ago
Erickson said. He cited recent NCAA data showing high graduation rates for football players and other Penn State teams. The rates, Erickson said, are an example of Penn State's dedication to academic and athletic success, and "evidence of a culture of athletics that is one that we can and should take great pride in, and we will continue to believe in that principle — that academics and athletics can work together in a very, very positive way." The soft-spoken Erickson, the former chief academic officer, took over as president following Graham Spanier's departure under pressure four days after Sandusky's arrest. Longtime coach Joe Paterno was fired the same night, sparking a large student protest downtown. In July, the NCAA cited a school-sanctioned investigation led by former FBI director Louis Freeh in saying there was an "unprecedented failure of institutional integrity leading to a culture in which a football program was held in higher esteem than the values of the institution, the values of the NCAA, the values of higher education, and most disturbingly the values of human decency." The school was hit with a four-year bowl ban, steep scholarship cuts and a $60 million fine. Sandusky, 68, was sentenced last month to at least 30 years in prison after being convicted in June on dozens of criminal counts covering allegations on and off campus. He has maintained his innocence and is pursuing appeals. The criminal investigation Continued on pg 10

Payton's agent, Don Yee, did not return a message seeking comment. According to ESPN, the league objected to Payton being allowed to nix the deal if general manager Mickey Loomis was fired, suspended or left the organization for any reason. Loomis received an eight-game suspension for his involvement in the bounty case and is eligible to return after the Saints (3-5) beat the Eagles. Payton can return next season, but some wonder if he might be interested in moving to the struggling Dallas Cowboys if he has that option.

against the first place Ironmen this weekend. Michigan’s performance attests that the North Division is highly competitive from top to bottom. Jamestown outshot the opponent, 37-29 and received the other two regulation goals from Huba Sekesi in the first period and Dunagan, 8:47 into the third. Assists were credited to Luc Gerdes (2), Dylan Zink, Pavek and Michael Mazzotta. Mimmack saved 26 shots between the pipes for the Ironmen en route to his tenth win of the season. With the win, Jamestown completed their fourth weekend sweep of the season and improved their record to 13-3-2 on the season.

NAHL Announces Divisional Stars of the Week to chime in for four assists in two games as Brookings split a weekend set with Aberdeen. On Thursday, Stejskal recorded assists on both Brookings goals in a close 3-2 loss. On Friday, he again recorded a pair of assists, this time on the first two goals of the game, as Brookings beat Aberdeen, 5-1. Stejskal was also a +3 during the weekend and is currently riding a three-game multi-point streak. His +6 mark this season ranks third on the team and six of his seven assists this season have come in his last three games. “Jordan is a player that really has come into his own and played very well for us lately,” said Brookings head coach Cory Laylin. “He makes good and smart passes, he makes good decisions with the puck and always seems to provide his teammates with a good breakout pass that gets our offense going.”
2nd Star: Jake O’Borsky, forward, Minot Minotauros
North Division Star of the Week: Jared Van Wormer, forward, Soo Eagles
Of the five goals that the Soo Eagles scored over the weekend in their road sweep of the Janesville Jets, forward Jared Van Wormer, 20, had a point in four of them. The native of Traverse City, Michigan, scored two goals (including a game-winner) and added two assists as the Eagles swept the Jets to remain a point out of 1st place in the North Division. On Friday, Van Wormer had the lone goal, which came in the 3rd period, in a 1-0 win against the Jets. A night later, Van Wormer added Soo’s first goal and then assisted on two others as the Eagles completed the weekend sweep with a 4-1 win. Van Wormer not only leads the Eagles in scoring this season with 24 points, but he
is leading the NAHL in assists to date with 18 and is tied for 2nd in scoring. “Jared knows how to score big goals and create offense because he works hard, goes to the net and does little things,” said Eagles head coach Bruno Bragagnolo. “This past weekend, he played very well shorthanded. Jared plays inspired hockey and is one of the hardest working players I have had in my time coaching.” 2nd Star: Ryan Atkinson, forward, Springfield Jr. Blues
South Division Star of the Week: Hayden Stewart, goaltender, Corpus Christi IceRays It is no coincidence that the Corpus Christi IceRays have gone 3-0-1 in their last four games (all in Alaska) and that newly acquired goaltender Hayden Stewart, 18, has been in goal for all four or those
games. The native of Rockford, Ill. had his best NAHL weekend to date as the IceRays swept the Kenai River Brown Bears in a weekend road series to remain in 4th place in the NAHL’s South Division. Stewart stopped a combined 90 of 94 shots during the weekend, good for a 95.7% save percentage, and allowed four goals in the two games. In Friday’s 3-2 win, he made 47 saves and in Saturday’s 3-2 win, he made 43 saves. Kenai River went 0 for 8 in their power play chances thanks in large part to some great saves from Stewart, who now appears to be the missing piece of the goaltending puzzle the IceRays have been looking for. “It was noticeable right away that Hayden is very calm under pressure,” said IceRays head coach Justin Quenneville. “He has been the big factor for us the last four games and they haven’t been easy
places to play. He plays with a lot of poise. He is big and covers a lot of net, but he is also very technically sound.” 2nd Star: Sami Salminen, forward, Wichita Falls Wildcats
West Division Star of the Week: Brian Williams, Wenatchee Wild The Wenatchee Wild didn’t need much offense in the weekend home sweep of the Bismarck Bobcats, as they scored just four goals in the two wins. However, when they did score, 16-year-old forward Brian Williams was making himself a part of it. The forward from San Diego, Calif., who was playing in just his second set of weekend games with the Wild, registered a point in three of the four total goals over the weekend, as the Wild increased their lead in the West Division to three points.

2012 CHASE CONTENDERS Chase Chart Following the AAA Texas 500 at Texas Motor Speedway 1. Jimmie Johnson 2,339 (finished first) The five-time champion rose to the occasion on the final restart and muscled his way past his closest challenger to score maximum points for the second straight week. “The gloves are off and it’s bare-knuckle fighting,” he said of the championship battle with Brad Keselowski. 2. Brad Keselowski -7 (finished second) He and his Paul Wolfe-led crew came close to winning with a daring two-tire pit stop near the end, but a late caution gave Johnson one last chance to take advantage of his fresher tires. Still, Keselowski remains positive. “I feel confident if we keep putting efforts out like this, that we can win races and be tough to beat for the championship,” he said. 3. Clint Bowyer -36 (finished sixth) His finish keeps his slim championship hopes alive with two races to go, but he’s more interested in how his new team has come together.“It’s fun to be racing for the championship, but I’m more proud of where we’re at contending for that championship and winning three races our first year together as a group,” he said.

Tales from Texas
5. Matt Kenseth -72 (finished fourth) Once again, the lame-duck driver at Roush Fenway Racing led the way for Ford Motor Co. He gave his crew the credit for his fast finish at Texas. “We started way off, and these guys never gave up,” he said.
Keselowski perseveres; Patrick shines; Dale apologizes
I
n just his third full Sprint Cup season, Brad Keselowski is hanging tough in a tight championship battle with five-time Cup champ Jimmie Johnson as NASCAR’s elite series heads to Phoenix International Raceway for the next-to-last race of 2012. At Texas Motor Speedway on Sunday, Johnson won for the second straight week, pushing his points lead over second-finishing Keselowski to seven. But just as he did in the race at Texas, Keselowski is showing that he won’t give up. In the closing laps at Texas, Keselowski, racing with two fresh tires to Johnson’s four, held the lead until the next-to-last lap with some daring – some say dangerous – moves. But in the end, he didn’t cause a crash, showed class in defeat and said he’s not conceding a thing. “I’m confident that we can execute at a high level,” he said. “We haven’t caught good breaks or bad breaks, and [Johnson’s] caught several really good ones. “I’m confident that that will come back around, and when it does, we’ll change these seconds and fifths or whatever they are over the last few weeks into wins. “I feel like that’s bound to happen over the next two weeks, and we have the team to pull it off. I also feel like the way the points are right now, we still control our own destiny, which is if we win the race, we get the points lead. So that’s about all you can ask for.” Johnson said he’s glad the Texas battle didn’t end with two wrecked race cars. “It just doesn’t need to come down to that,” he said, adding that Keselowski showed great
sportsmanship afterward. “The cool thing about it is we walked right up to that line, got right to the edge, and then it stopped. “He showed a very classy move coming to Victory Lane and shaking my hand afterwards, too.” But Johnson also maintains that he’s in the driver’s seat of the Chase. “It’s a small amount of control, but we’re definitely in control,” he said. “We don’t have to catch any or make up any points. Seven points is nothing to feel comfortable about and to relax on. “We’re still going to go into Phoenix and act as if we’re behind and go in there to try to sit on the pole and win the race again.” In her first race with Tony Gibson as her crew chief, Danica Patrick had the best run of her brief Sprint Cup career on Sunday at Texas Motor Speedway. She finished 24th and raced on the lead lap, against some of the sport’s top drivers, for most of the race. “We had a really nice first weekend,” she said. “It was really steady from the beginning.” Patrick said her No. 10 Chevrolet was fast from the time the crew pulled it out of the hauler. “We just kept on improving with it,” she said. “I felt like it was a nice progression of the weekend where I actually felt like I knew why I went faster and I knew why I went slower … “Tony Gibson did such a good job. I’m really looking forward to next year.” Gibson was among those praising Patrick’s
4. Kasey Kahne -58 (finished 25th) A late-race incident took away any hopes he had of winning at Texas and remaining in the race for the championship.
efforts at Texas. “It was a great day and a great weekend for the first weekend working together,” he said. “Qualifying went really well, and practice went really well. “She had an awesome race, and she did a great job. We did the wave around twice and got back on the lead lap early, and she stayed on the lead lap. She ran with guys that she’s never run with before: Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart, Ryan Newman and Denny Hamlin. To come here and run on the lead lap and have a shot at a top-20 was pretty impressive.” Dale Earnhardt Jr. used his regular media session at Texas to say he regretted his criticism of crew chief Steve Letarte after his finish at Martinsville Speedway. Letarte decided to leave Earnhardt on the track late in the race when many of the leaders, including race leader and eventual winner Jimmie Johnson, stopped for fresh tires. Because so many drivers followed Johnson down pit road it left Earnhardt and Brad Keselowski, who also opted not to pit, at the front initially, but also at a disadvantage. Keselowski hung on to finish sixth, but Earnhardt dropped to 21st. “I didn’t even think it was a bad call when we made it,” Earnhardt said. “I was being a bit of a backseat driver or armchair quarterback after the fact. “[Letarte] had done a great job, been real supportive of me, and I need to realize he is trying to help me. He’s not trying to throw me to the wolves. He is trying to help me win races.”
NOTEBOOK
6. Jeff Gordon -72 (finished 14th) Another strong run went for naught as damage from a brush with Kasey Kahne ended his bid for victory. 7. Denny Hamlin -73 (finished 20th) The heartbreaking mechanical failure at Martinsville Speedway the week before seemed to take the wind from his sails as he was never a factor at Texas. 8. Tony Stewart -80 (finished fifth) After winning five of the 10 Chase races last year, his best finishes in this year’s Chase have been a pair of fifths. 9. Martin Truex Jr. -80 (finished 13th) He has just one top-five finish in the Chase and hasn’t led a lap in the first eight races. 10. Greg Biffle -83 (finished 10th) The points leader after the regular season has just one top-five finish in the Chase. “I didn’t quite have my car how I needed it,” he said of his Texas run. 11. Kevin Harvick -101 (finished ninth) His best finish in the Chase and his only top-10 in the “playoffs” wasn’t enough to keep him from being mathematically eliminated from title contention with two races left to run. 12. Dale Earnhardt Jr. -151 (finished seventh) He praised his crew’s role in his late-race surge. “The pit crew really did a good job,” he said. “They gained us about eight spots on pit road there those last two stops.”
the number on his door to think he’s tough. “If he’s going to start it, I’m going to finish it.” Dillon did not respond directly to Hamlin’s comments.
Ryan Blaney has best finish yet Ryan Blaney, the 18-year-old son of Sprint Cup veteran Dave Blaney, continues to be one of the surprise stories of the 2012 NASCAR season. On Saturday, he raced his way to the runnerup spot behind Kevin Harvick in the Nationwide Series race at Texas Motor Speedway, It was his best Nationwide finish in 12 starts this year. He also has five other top-10 finishes, and has wrecked just once, at Darlington Raceway in his second start. Blaney’s also racing in the Camping World Truck Series, where he’s run seven races with a win at Iowa Speedway on Sept. 15 and five other finishes of 11th or better. Among those who have been impressed with Blaney’s fast NASCAR start is Kyle Busch, who finished just behind him on Saturday at Texas. “He’s really showing what he can do,” Busch told reporters after speaking with Blaney on pit road following the race. “He’s done a good job of doing it and being clean while doing it. He’s got a lot of respect for everybody out there, and he can finish top two, three, four, five, week in, week out, and he does it without making a big deal out of it. “I just congratulated him and told him he did a great job.”
Hamlin blasts Dillon in Texas Denny Hamlin and Austin Dillon were involved in some fender banging after the checkered flag fell on Saturday’s Nationwide Series race at Texas.
Stenhouse, Sadler tied in points
Austin Dillon (NASCAR photo) Dillon initiated it by swerving in front of Hamlin’s car and making contact. Hamlin responded by knocking Dillon’s No. 3 Chevrolet into the inside wall. Hamlin was sharply critical of Dillon, the oldest grandson of team owner Richard Childress, in his post-race comments. “First of all, he got his ride because of his name,” Hamlin said. “Second of all, you’ve got to take advantage of the opportunity.” Hamlin said Dillon isn’t good about giving his competitors adequate space to race safely. “I was three-wide on the inside and you’ve got to give room,” Hamlin said. “I believe [Dillon] got wrecked at Bristol a couple times because he crowds really, really bad. That’s part of it. If you’re going to pinch, you’re going to pay.” Hamlin also made reference to Dillon’s car number, the same one used by the late Dale Earnhardt when he drove for Childress. “After the checkered flag [Dillon] runs into me,” Hamlin said. “I don’t know if he feels entitled by
In the past two races, defending Nationwide Series champion Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has erased the 13-point advantage that Elliott Sadler had on him in the battle for the series championship. Stenhouse won at Kansas Speedway then finished fourth at Texas Motor Speedway, while Sadler was fourth at Kansas and 11th at Texas. The two are now tied at the top with two races left to run. For a time at Texas, it looked as if Sadler would be able to extend the points lead he’d held for four races, but Stenhouse came on strong at the end, holding his own racing against drivers with fresher tires, while Sadler faded to 11th. Stenhouse said it’s no time to be celebrating his points position. “t doesn’t really matter now,” he said. “We have to be leading after Homestead. That is still our goal and still what we have our eye on. “We have gained some points the last two weeks, which is good, and you saw last year [in Sprint Cup] that if you tie, it goes to the most wins, and I think we have that covered right now and we will keep plugging away.” Stenhouse has six wins this season to Sadler’s four. In the Camping World Truck Series, rookie Ty Dillon, who lost the points lead to James Buescher when he blew a tire and wrecked at Martinsville, sliced the deficit from 21 to 15 with a fifth-place finish on Friday at Texas. Buescher finished 11th as Johnny Sauter won, giving him a sweep of the Texas truck races this year.

Swimming, Diving Teams Lose Close Matches In Geneseo Contributed Article
Fredonia State Sports Information
GENESEO, N.Y. -- Senior springboard diver Sarah Ficarro took the first step toward a fourth straight NCAA Division III appearance during Fredonia State's dual meet Saturday against Geneseo. Already a six-time All-American, Ficarro posted NCAA D-III provisional scores and topped a 1-2-3 finish by the Blue Devils in each of the two diving events. She had scores of 261.35 in the 1-meter and 293.45 in the 3-meter. Junior teammate Ashley Keller was second in both events, junior Katelyn Haley was third in the 1-meter, and sophomore Heather Colby was third in the 3-meter. The Blue Devils lost the dual meet, 160-138. "We had some missed opportunities out there," head coach Arthur Wang said, who was pleased with the progress his team is making, especially

against a quality opponent such as Geneseo. "But those were by some of our younger people who did not know what to expect in a meet like this." Fredonia State had three other individual winners, led by sophomore Steph Rosa, a winner in the 100-yard backstroke (1:03.08) and a secondplace finisher in the 200-yard backstroke (2:11.79). Her 200 time was just a second off her personal-best. Rosa finished ahead of senior Emily Ginty in the 100 back. Ginty's time was 1:04.20.
The other individual winners were freshman Sam Rokos (Albany), who was first in the 200yard freestyle (2:01.88) as well as second in the 100-yard freestyle (:56.54); and senior Lizzie Lodinsky (Buffalo), first in the 500-yard freestyle (5:28.76) as well as second in the 1,000-yard freestyle (11:10.04). Fredonia men’s team had two double winners Saturday in its 160-134 loss to the Geneseo. Junior springboard diver Ryan Fuller was first in the 1-meter with 289.85 points and first in the 3-meter with 296.05
points. Both scores provisionally qualified Fuller for the NCAA Division III zone meet next March. Blue Devil freshman diver Rafael Santiago finished second to Fuller in both events. The Blue Devils' other double winner was junior John Estanislau. He touched first in the 100-yard breast stroke (1:02.73) and the 100-yard freestyle (:48.35), and was second in the 100-yard butterfly (:54.46). "Overall it was a solid performance," Fredonia State head coach Arthur Wang said. "This is as close as we've been to Geneseo in a long time." The Blue Devils had three single-event winners — junior Adrian Van Hall with a 1:53.60 in the 200-yard freestyle, junior Eric Jordan with a 2:04.51 in the 200yard backstroke, and junior Andrew Case in the 200-yard individual medley. Van Hall finished ahead of freshman teammate William Baker in the 200 free.

FREDONIA, N.Y. — Freshman forward Chad Bennett scored early in overtime as Fredonia State defeated Morrisville State, 2-1, in SUNYAC men's hockey Saturday at the Steele Hall Ice Arena. Bennett's goal was his first as a collegian and came after he skated from behind the net and got off two shots. The first one was blocked on the short side, the second found the net as the Blue Devils improved to 3-2 overall, 2-1 in the SUNYAC. Another freshman, Taylor Bourne, scored the game's first goal — also his first as a collegian — as the Blue Devils took a 1-0 lead at 2:31 of the second period. Bourne's goal came on a back-hander after
he skated free coming down the left wing. The puck came to him from sophomore Declan Gunovski, who earned the first assist with a back pass while taking on a defender. Daniel Morello scored Morrisville's goal on a power play. His knuckling shot from the point and through a maze of players came at 1:34 of the third period, assisted by Anthony Scornaienchi and Matthew Beer, and pulled the Mustangs even at 1-1. Fredonia State goaltender Mark Friesen made 19 saves. Morrisville's Christopher Azzano was credited with 28 saves. The Blue Devils return to action next Friday at Potsdam in the first of two SUNYAC next weekend. They visit Plattsburgh on Saturday.

NHL, Union Back At Bargaining Table For New Talks By Ira Podell Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) — The locked-out NHL players' association returned to the bargaining table Tuesday, and this time brought Sidney Crosby along. On Day 52 of the lockout that has delayed the start of the hockey season and threatened to wipe it out completely, the league and the players sat down for the second round of negotiations in four days at an undisclosed site. Not only were NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly and union special counsel Steve Fehr there, as they were for a marathon session by themselves Saturday. They were joined by Commissioner Gary Bettman, NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr, a handful of team owners, and 13 players including Crosby, who has been an active participant in the process. ''We're hopeful that we'll start bargaining and we'll continue bargaining until we find a way to make a deal,'' Donald Fehr said Tuesday before talks started. ''Sometimes that goes in rather long sessions with short breaks and sometimes you take a few hours or half a day or a day to work on things before you come back together. I don't know which it will be. ''We certainly hope we'll be continuing to meet on a regular basis. I hope they do, too. I'm just not making any predictions.'' Fehr's brother Steve met with Daly on Saturday in a secret location, and neither provided many details of what was discussed, but both agreed that the meeting was productive. That was proven when the sides agreed to quickly meet again Tuesday. There had been no negotiations since talks broke off on Oct. 18 until Saturday.
With the ongoing labor negotiations, The Winter Classic that was set to be played at the University of Michigan won't be played
''The players' view has always been to keep negotiating until we find a way to get agreement and you sort of stay at it day by day, so it's very good to be getting back to the table,'' Donald Fehr said. ''We hope that this time it produces more progress than we've seen in the past, and that we can find a way to make an agreement and to get the game back on the ice as soon as possible. ''We're hopeful that we'll start bargaining and we'll continue bargaining until we find a way to make a deal.'' The NHL requested that the exact location for Tuesday's negotiations in New York be
kept secret, and the players' association adhered. Time is becoming a bigger factor every day that passes without a deal. The lockout, which went into effect Sept. 16 after the previous collective bargaining agreement expired, has already forced the cancellation of 327 regular-season games — including the New Year's Day outdoor Winter Classic in Michigan. Whether any of the games that have been called off through Nov. 30 can be rescheduled if an agreement is made soon hasn't been determined. But the NHL has already said that a full 82-game season won't be played.
Flynn Scores Twice, But Rochester Falls To Hamilton Contributed Article Rochester Americans
HAMILTON, Ontario — Rookie forward Brian Flynn scored a pair of goals and first-year netminder Connor Knapp made 30 saves in his professional debut as the Rochester Americans dropped a 4-3 decision to the Hamilton Bulldogs in the second leg of a home-and-home series between the North Division rivals Saturday night at Copps Coliseum. Flynn staked Rochester to a 2-0 lead after 40 minutes of play, but the Bulldogs would score four unanswered third period goals, including the game-winner from Blake Geoffrion, to complete the late-game rally. It would mark the second game in as many nights Hamilton would erase a two-goal deficit after the Bulldogs rallied from being down to goals in Friday’s 3-2 shootout loss to the Amerks.
Geoffrion led Hamilton offensively with a pair of goals while Brendan Gallagher also notched a two-point night (1+1) for the hometown Bulldogs. Robert Mayer earned the win with a 24-save effort. Knapp, a native of York, N.Y., got the first start of his professional career. It marked the first time since Feb. 19 of last season that a goalie other than David Leggio started for the Amerks, a span of 35 games. After a scoreless opening period, Flynn put the Amerks on the board just 2:38 into the second period with his second goal of the season. Marcus Foligno gained the puck at the bottom of the right face-off circle and fed a centering pass to Flynn, who quickly snapped the puck past Mayer to give Rochester a 1-0 lead. Evan Rankin also assisted on the goal, giving him six points in the last seven games. Later in the period, Flynn struck for his second goal of
the game. Mark Pysyk moved the puck up ice to Zemgus Girgensons, who then got it to Flynn as he skated up the left wing boards. Flynn then stickhandled through a defender and fired a wrist shot high in to the top corner of the net, giving the Amerks a 2-0 lead. Hamilton cut its deficit to 2-1 midway through the third period. Geoffrion’s shot from the left circle was initially stopped by Knapp, but the puck just trickled over the goal line following a scramble in the crease. Minutes later, the Bulldogs tied the game on a goal by Gallagher, who was stationed in front and knocked in a rebound after a shot from the blueline by Patrick Holland. The goal came at 12:04 of the third period and was the first of three goals within a threeminute span for Hamilton. Hamilton then took the lead with two quick goals late in the third. First, Mike Blunden
NAHL STARS OF THE WEEK continued from pg 5 On Friday, Williams scored the only goal of the game in a 1-0 shutout win over the Bobcats. On Saturday night, he recorded two assists, including setting up teammate Dylan
Abood for the game-winning goal as Wenatchee defeated Bismarck 3-2 in overtime. The three points over the weekend were Williams’ first career NAHL points.
“Brian has a lot of potential and skill for a player that is just 16-years-old,” said Wild head coach Bliss Littler. “He has fit in nicely with the team so far and this past weekend
scored on the power play when he tipped a shot from the blueline past Knapp, making it 3-2 Bulldogs for their first lead of the game. Then, Geoffrion was stopped on a wrist shot by Knapp, but got his own rebound and shot it past Knapp to give Hamilton a 4-2 lead. Nick Tarnasky would bring Rochester within a goal as he converted on a pass from Rick Schofield, but Mayer would preserve the one-goal lead with several key saves in the waning minutes of the game. The Amerks return to action at 7:05 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 9 at The Blue Cross Arena when they host the Adirondack Phantoms for the second of four meetings between the teams this season. Rochester defeated the Phantoms 6-2 last Saturday at the Glens Falls Civic Center in the first game of the season series. Next Friday’s game can be heard on Sports 1280 WHTK.
Back in October, the players' association responded to an NHL offer with three of its own, but all of those were quickly dismissed by the league — leading to nearly three weeks of no face-to-face discussions. Daly and Steve Fehr kept in regular contact by phone and agreed to meet again last weekend. The NHL has moved toward the players' side in the contentious issue of the ''make-whole'' provision, which involves the payment of player contracts that are already in effect and whose share of the economic pie that money will come from. Other core economic issues — mainly the split of hockey-related revenue — along with contract lengths, arbitration and free agency will also need to be agreed upon before a deal can be reached. The players' association accepted a salary cap in the previous CBA, which wasn't reached until after the entire 2004-05 season was canceled because of a lockout. The union doesn't want to absorb the majority of concessions this time after the NHL recorded record revenue that exceeded $3 billion last season. ''The issues the players are concerned about remain the same,'' Donald Fehr said. ''The players haven't seen any need to go backward, given the history of the last negotiations and given the level of revenue increase since then. Player-contracting rights are very important to them. ''Before we have any agreement, both sides have to see everything on paper and make sure that they all understand it right. That's about all I can say about it at this stage. I don't want to prejudge or indicate that I have any particular impressions or expectations. That's what the meetings are for.''

Gameday Week Ten
ARE THERE OFFENSE CONFIDENCE ISSUES? continued from pg 1
''I wish we could've run it more the other s day, but it was one of those situations d where we thought it best to throw the eks football,'' Gailey said. ''And it didn't work.'' eve He's right about that. The Bills attempted just 16 rushes — and only five in the second half — while Ryan de Fitzpatrick completed 25 of 38 for 239 e'' yards, while being held without a touchdown for the third time in four games. nd Buffalo settled for attempting four field ey goals (one missed, and three made) on four trips inside the Texans 22. Having lost four of five, the Bills (3-5) th hit their mid-season mark suddenly in cy jeopardy of falling completely out of the eal playoff picture, and face a daunting task of traveling to play at AFC East rival New ap England (5-3) this weekend. The Patriots d have already beaten Buffalo 52-28 this an- season, and the Bills have lost 11 straight n't games at New England. Gailey explained that the Bills stuck with v- the pass because of how the Texans lined up on defense in a bid to stop the run. t And yet, Spiller and co-starter Fred Jackson still combined for 60 yards rushing on ard, 12 carries. Spiller also added five catches nd for 63 yards despite being on the field for en. only 26 of Buffalo's 57 plays on offense. nt The 16 rushing attempts (including three by Fitzpatrick and one by Brad Smith) matched the fewest during Gailey's twoplus season term in Buffalo. And they s were made by an offense that's statisticalon'tly been among the NFL's best at getting y its running backs involved this season. at's Spiller leads the NFL in averaging 7.2 yards a carry and, with 24 catches for 236 yards, he leads running backs in averaging 7.8 yards each time he touches the ball. ''You always like running the ball, but I'm not going to complain about it,'' guard Andy Levitre said. ''It was just part of the

plan, I guess. I thought we'd run the ball more but it just wasn't in the cards we were dealt.'' It wasn't lost on Fitzpatrick immediately following the game and also on Monday that the Bills need to lean on both Spiller and Jackson a little more often. ''That's no secret. ... We know we've got to give him the ball, and we've just got to find ways to do it,'' Fitzpatrick said. ''But if we execute in the red zone and we score four touchdowns rather than attempt four field goals, then all of a sudden everybody's not talking about all that. They're talking about how great we did.'' Trouble was, Fitzpatrick and his receivers failed to deliver in what amounted to a dink-and-dunk passing approach that averaged a mere 9.6 yards a completion, and was even worse in the red zone. On nine snaps inside the Texans' 20, the Bills combined for 8 yards, giving up two sacks and losing another 5 yards on a false-start penalty.
That extended a string of red-zone sputters. After opening the season scoring seven touchdowns on 10 drives inside an opponent's 20, Buffalo's managed just four TDs on its last 11 trips. Fitzpatrick's role in leading the offense is already being questioned. On Friday, general manager Buddy Nix suggested he intends to draft a quarterback to potentially compete for the starting job as early as next season. NOTES: Since the start of last season, Buffalo is 8-4 when combining for 125 or more yards rushing and 1-11 when totaling fewer. ... Conversely, the Bills are 5-1 when Fitzpatrick has 29 or fewer pass attempts, and 4-14 when attempting 30-plus. ... Gailey acknowledged his weekly chats with team owner Ralph Wilson haven't been upbeat of late. ''He's upset we're losing. Would you expect anything less?'' Gailey said. ''I am, too. So we've got to win, and our weekly conversations will go better.''
First-Place Patriots Get Back To Work, Await Talib By Matthew Carroll Associated Press
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Even when they're not playing, the New England Patriots still manage to make headlines. Prior to the NFL trading deadline on Thursday, which came during their bye week, the Patriots (5-3) acquired Aqib Talib from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers despite the shutdown cornerback's troubled past. ry New England gave up a ey fourth-round pick in next year's draft for Talib, who has 18 interceptions since being selected by Tampa Bay with his the 20th pick in 2008 out eep- of Kansas. The Patriots also ee snared a 2013 seventh-round HL choice in the deal, as well. However, Talib will miss e the upcoming game against play Buffalo (3-5) on Sunday while serving the final game of a four-game suspension he received for violating the n league's policy on performance-enhancing substances. He said at the time of the suspension that he took an Adderall pill without a prescription ''around the beginning of training camp.'' New England coach Bill Belichick wouldn't divulge much about the acquisition

during his weekly conference call with reporters Monday, other than saying Talib will report to the Patriots ''when the league allows him to.'' ''Right now really, our focus is on the Bills and the players that will be preparing for the game with the team and the players that are here at this time,'' Belichick said. ''We'll take that as it comes. When he gets here, we'll deal with that then. I think he's a good player. I think he can help our football team. ''That's why we traded for him.'' Talib was suspended without pay for the regular-season opener in 2010 and fined one additional game check for violating the NFL's personalconduct policy. That penalty resulted from an altercation with a St. Petersburg cab
driver during training camp in August 2009. He also had charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in Texas dropped a week before he was due to be tried for allegedly firing a gun at his sister's boyfriend. Patriots coaches caught a glimpse of Talib's talents during their joint practice sessions with the Buccaneers prior to a preseason matchup in August. ''I think that everything that you know about a player is somewhat of a factor,'' Belichick said of the scouting process. ''Anything that you have is relevant.'' The hope is that Talib can help shore up a porous Patriots' pass defense that has allowed the sixth most yards in the league and is especially vulnerable to
surrendering big plays. The struggling unit has allowed 17 passing touchdowns this season, tied with Kansas City for third worst in the NFL, and is yielding 8.0 yards per passing play, tied for fourth most. Cornerback Devin McCourty gave up several long completions before being moved to safety the past two games while starters Steve Gregory and Patrick Chung were sidelined. Another starting quarterback, Kyle Arrington, left the team's game in London against St. Louis last week game with a head injury. Belichick and defensive coordinator Matt Patricia didn't say whether McCourty's move to safety would be permanent. But consistency, they said, is important. ''He's a pretty flexible kid, both physically and mentally. I think he can handle the movement but I think the more consistent we can be as a unit then that builds their communication and better teamwork between the players that are involved,'' Belichick said. ''There are always going to be some moving parts. And unfortunately we've had, like every team does, guys go in and out for various reasons. So, it's not perfect. ''Ideally if you could keep everything exactly the same every week, that would be great.''

Anderson Has Setback, Could Miss More Time Contributed Article Associated Press
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Buffalo Bills starting defensive end Mark Anderson could miss another three weeks after having a setback recovering from left knee surgery. Coach Chan Gailey said Monday that team doctors haven't ruled out Anderson requiring what he called another ''procedure.'' If that happens, Gailey said Anderson would miss about
three weeks. Anderson has already missed three games since being hurt in a 45-3 loss at San Francisco on Oct. 7. Gailey said starting cornerback Aaron Williams will miss a few weeks after hurting his right knee a day earlier in a 21-9 loss at Houston. Gailey said the injury is not as bad as initially feared. Receiver Stevie Johnson is expected to play at New England on Sunday after he came up limping after hurting his right leg against the Texans.

Lake Erie Fishing Hotline Contributed Article
Department of Environmental Conservation
The Lake Erie tributaries have dropped back quickly from raging levels on Tuesday. However, due to continued showers, they are all still running a bit high and muddy. Some of the smallest streams could be fishable by Friday. Streams such as Chautauqua, Canadaway and Eighteenmile Creeks will be ready at some point this weekend. Cattaraugus Creek could be ready by midweek if rains hold off. Anglers can now expect steelhead to be spread out in all of the streams. Lake Erie steelhead commonly hit natural baits like egg sacs and worms, flies such as egg imitations, streamers and bugger patterns, and lures like minnow-type stickbaits
and in-line spinners. The fish passage project at the Westfield Water Works dam on Chautauqua Creek has been completed. This fish passage gives steelhead access to an additional 10 miles of stream that runs through a deep, wooded gorge. There are about 7 miles of public fishing rights easements (PFR) over that stretch of stream. See the Chautauqua Creek PFR Map (409 KB pdf file) to view these public access areas. Yellow perch anglers continue to see a great perch bite on Lake Erie, when conditions permit. Anglers covering 40-55 feet of water out of Sturgeon Point have done very well, with many limit catches. Similar depths east of Cattaraugus Creek and off Dunkirk are good bets as well. Emerald shiners are top perch bait, however salted shiners and worms
also worked well. Smallmouth bass have been readily hitting baits in 1535 feet of water.
Chautauqua Lake
Anglers are catching some muskellunge 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. Live shiners or crayfish are good bets for smallmouth bass along weed edges. Anglers can also look for fall concentrations of crappie in the same locations they would find them in spring, such as in canals, off canal mouths and along weed edges. Fathead minnows and small tube jigs work best for crappie.
Upper Niagara River
Most of the upper river is murky, but fishable. However, the Buffalo River's muddy outflow will keep fishing on hold along the upper river's eastern shoreline for a couple of days. Previously, smallmouth bass action had been good for boaters around Strawberry and Grand Islands. Drifting along weed edges with a bottom bouncing rig and crayfish or shiners is a good bet. Casting stickbaits and spinnerbaits around weed edges will catch both smallmouth and largemouth bass. Drifting with large 8-10 inch tube jigs or casting large stickbaits are good bets for muskellunge around Strawberry Island and near the Huntley power station.
Surplus Broodstock Trout Stocking Randolph Fish Hatchery has completed their annual fall
stocking of broodstock trout in Cattaraugus and Allegany Counties. All breeder trout stocked are over 2 years old and are stocked in waters where trout fishing is permitted 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.
Additional Deer Management Permits Available for Hunters Contributed Article
Department of Environmental Conservation
Remaining Deer Management Permits (DMPs) will be available in several Wildlife Management Units (WMUs) beginning Nov. 1, 2012, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC)
today announced. DMPs, which allow hunters to harvest antlerless deer, are issued for specific WMUs to help control deer populations. In several units, the target number of DMPs was not issued during the initial application period. In these WMUs, DEC will re-open the DMP application process on a first-come, first-served basis.
Hunters may apply for leftover DMPs at any sporting license sales outlet beginning Nov. 1, 2012. Leftover DMPs will not be available by phone, by mail or via the Internet. Applicants who previously paid the $10 DMP application fee or are exempt from the application fee will not be charged for this additional application. Applications for remaining DMPs
COACH’S PERSONAL SUCCESS continued from pg 4 during Sunday's postgame speech, hesitating to catch his breath a couple of times. ''My vision that I'm living is to see two more daughters get married, dance at their weddings and then lift the Lombardi Trophy several times. I'm dancing at two more weddings and we're hoisting that trophy together, men. Congratulations, I love all of you.'' Pagano's appearance Sunday was a clear indication things were going well. Cripe confirmed that in his comments Monday. On the field, things have gone well for the Colts, too. Indy (5-3) is 4-1 since Arians, also
a cancer survivor, was made interim coach and the sudden spate of success has put Indy back in the playoff discussion. But as the Colts continue to shock the NFL world, Pagano's health status continues to loom large. Team officials have hung signs reading (hash)Chuckstrong in each end zone of Lucas Oil Stadium. Reggie Wayne wore orange gloves for two games, the color designated to recognize leukemia, and Arians usually wears a button with an orange ribbon between the two sides of the horseshoe on his hat. It's unclear whether Pagano
will return to full coaching duties this season, though Arians made it clear he hopes that happens. ''Once he comes back from Round 2 and is about to head into Round 3, our goal is for him to be on the sideline Dec. 30,'' Arians said, referring to Indy's regular-season finale against Houston. ''We know what's coming, the downhill slide is yet to come,'' Arians added. ''To me it's kind of like talking to him about the playoffs this week; one day at a time, one play at a time. There's some down time coming, but it's great to see him here.''
will be accepted for the following WMUs: 1C, 3M, 3R, 3S (bowhuntingonly), 7F, 7H, 8A, 8F, 8G, 8H, 8J, 8N, 9A, and 9F. For Wildlife Management Unit locations go to DEC's website or check the 2012-13 Hunting and Trapping Regulations Guide. During this extended application period DEC will issue DMPs for an individual WMU all day. The status
of issued permits will be reviewed each night, and as the target number of permits are issued for an individual WMU, they will be removed from the list of those available effective the following day, with no further applications accepted for those units. A list of units with available leftover DMPs will be routinely updated on DEC's website.
REBUILDING THE REPUTATION continued from pg 4 continues. Spanier is scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday after the state attorney general's office said the former president conspired with two other officials to conceal allegations against Sandusky. Many other challenges lie ahead. Erickson said he was optimistic about the ongoing inquiries by the Department of Education and the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, an accrediting body. He had no update Monday on the progress of the school's potential civil settlements with Sandusky accusers. He also expressed optimism that many of the challenges
would be behind the school once the board of trustees finds his replacement. Erickson plans to step down when his current contract expires in June 2014. Trustees are expected to release more details on the search process at their next meeting later this month. Among governance improvements, Erickson cited the hiring of a full-time compliance officer for the Clery Act, a federal law that requires reporting of certain crimes on campus; a search for an athletics integrity officer; and changes to guidelines covering minors on campus, including more background checks and staff training.
Erickson said communication and oversight also have improved among Penn State leadership. Nevertheless, Erickson said the upcoming year could be "our most challenging year in applications." He cited issues affecting high school students and their families in general, such as concerns about tuition, mounting student debt and getting a job after college. "The message to prospective students is that Penn State was a great institution a year ago, and it's still a great academic institution," he said. "If you come to Penn State, you're going to continue to get a great education."
UNCERTAIN FUTURE continued from pg 4 ing up the heat on third-year coach Jason Garrett. Payton was an assistant head coach with the Cowboys before he took over the Saints in 2006. He has a 67-37 record, including four playoff appearances and New Orleans' first Super Bowl championship, but he kept alive speculation that he might someday return to Dallas by keeping a home in that city. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was asked about the possibility of Payton coaching the Cowboys if he's available. ''I have no idea,'' he said. ''I have no understanding about anything to do with his or the Saints' business or their contracts. I don't have any — that was news to me.'' Jones insisted that he hasn't given up on Garrett, who has a record of 16-16 over three
seasons and has yet to lead the Cowboys to the playoffs. ''I have a lot of faith in Jason,'' Jones said. ''Jason's future is ahead of him. I know how hard he works. I like his philosophy, so I've got a lot of confidence, a lot of faith. One of the brightest spots I see is our head coaching and our coaching in the future.'' New Orleans safety Roman Harper sees no reason for Payton to leave New Orleans, especially after being linked to the bounty case. ''Why would he not come back? He's got something to prove,'' Harper said. ''There's nothing like having a man with a chip on his shoulder. This is just another way the NFL is trying to get at us. We just have to keep our minds on things we can control, and that's playing football.''
But linebacker Scott Shanle sounded more concerned. ''We'd be crazy if we said we weren't worried about it, but at the same time that's out of our control,'' he said. ''We can't do anything about it. We can't let that story and that development sidetrack us from what we're trying to do.'' It certainly was a topic before the game, but the Saints quickly brushed it aside. For now, they're worried about saving this season. ''Some of us guys talked about it a little bit, but nothing too serious because we didn't understand what the language is in the contract,'' Shanle said. ''It seemed like it was changing minute by minute. Honestly, there wasn't a whole lot of discussion about it within the team.''

By T.J. TOMASI IT’S GOOD FOR YOUR GAME BIRDIES AND BOGEYS
Long drive Champs Winners of the 2012 RE/MAX World Long Drive Championships are Ryan Winther, 28, who blasted a winning drive of 343 yards, and Sandra Carlborg, also 28, who hit it 339 yards. This year’s numbers are low because they were hitting into strong headwinds. Last year, Carl Wolter hit one 459 yards in the semifinals and won with 409 yards. I coach a tour player whose swing speed of more than 126 mph often produces 320- to 350-yard drives, yet he told me that when he plays with his friend, long drive champ Jamie Sadlowski, he’s out hit regularly off the tee by 30 to 40 yards! Below are the top five long drivers for the LPGA and PGA Tours this year: PGA Tour 1. Bubba Watson 2. Charlie Beljan 3. Robert Garrigus 4. Dustin Johnson 5. Rory McIlroy LPGA Tour 1. Maude-Aimee Leblanc 2. Brittany Lincicome 3. Lexi Thompson 4. Gerina Piller 5. Michelle Wie
315.5 yards 311.9 yards 310.6 yards 310.2 yards 310.1 yards 282 yards 275 yards 270 yards 269 yards 268 yards
The safe way to pitch The technique I’m demonstrating here is the safest way to hit a high, short pitch shot that stops quickly. For longer pitch shots, you have to cock your wrists to help generate clubhead speed, but since this shot is a short one (10 to 20 yards green side), there is no need to create leverage. Just use your chest turn for speed. Take note of these points in the photos below: (1) I have not cocked my wrists at the end of my backswing. (2) The clubhead never swung above my waist, meaning my backswing is short. (3) My chest has rotated until it faces the target at the finish. (4) My forearms have not rotated; I can still see the grooves on the clubface, proving that the clubface never turned over, preserving the loft. Selective Rotation It’s hard to convince yourself that you can make such a full body turn
ABOUT THE WRITER for such a short shot, Dr. T.J. and therein Tomasi is a teaching lies the professional counterinin Port St. tuitive part Lucie, Fla. Visit his of pitching. website at You have tjtomasi.com. to learn by practice that rotating your body while keeping your forearms from rotating is the key. Normally in a full golf swing, you rotate both your forearms and your body. The all-important rate at which you do so is called timing. When your timing is good, you’ll play well, but when your rate of rotation is sullied, no amount of perseverance will save you. This is doubly true when you pitch the ball because you must rotate one part of your body and not the other. Any variation from this “selective rotation” ruins the shot.
These numbers may appear wimpy by comparison with the long hitters, but the goals are different — pure distance of one shot vs. distance with position for the next shot. Also, drives on PGA Tour are measured on two holes per round that go in opposite directions to counteract the effect of wind, and many players don’t hit their driver to keep the ball in play. GOLF SPOKEN HERE
Equitable stroke control The handicap system put in place by the USGA to eliminate the effect of “disaster holes.” The player who has one or two bad holes, but plays the rest of the round around par, would be almost unbeatable if he could use ESC for actual scoring.
At the end of my backswing, my hands and clubface are still below my waist. This position produces accuracy because I don’t move my hands and arms much. This lack of disruption makes it easier to return to impact correctly.
I generate the speed to hit a high shot by turning my chest a lot. Note how my forearms have not crossed over; I want the bounce of my lob wedge to slide under the ball. Also note how much my hips and shoulders have turned compared to where they were in the first photo. This fullness is the hardest motion to time: The arms must move slowly but inexorably.
TEEING OFF
Small swing errors add up Do you have a swing error you can’t get rid of? Perhaps your pro has shown it to you on video and you’ve worked hard to purge it from your swing, but no matter what you try, it’s always there. If it was an infection, your doctor would label it “resistant,” which is his way of saying, “Get used to it.” Here’s how to eradicate swing errors that exhibit high resistance. First, understand that the problem has to do with the nature of swing errors. In the golf swing, errors “sum.” By this I mean small increments of error that can’t be easily seen add up until a threshold is reached and the error becomes apparent. An example: The video shows that you jut your lead elbow away from your body through impact (a chicken wing), making solid contact impossible. This is easy to spot, and to fix it, you use swing aids to hold the elbow tight against your side, or you hit balls with a head cover under your arm as you aggressively rotate your forearms to sling the club past you through impact. But even though all your focus is devoted to the error, nothing works. Your failure stems from focusing on the result rather than the cause, which in this case is a small summing error that multiplies incognito until it suddenly rears its ugly head at impact. Here’s what really happened: You aimed slightly too much right at address (small error 1); this caused you to take the club slightly inside (error 2); which caused you to point your club right of target at the top (3); which caused you to spin your shoulders starting down (4); which caused you to cut across the ball (5). At this point, the only salvation is the chicken wing elbow to keep the clubface open so the ball cuts back to target — the final error that triggers the fix that doesn’t work! Insider Takeaway: In this example, small perturbations to the system are the real problem, and not realizing this can cause a teacher/player to intervene at the wrong point, thereby treating the effects and not the cause. The resistance of the problem is due, not to the error itself, but to the failure of the “fixer” to understand the process of error summation.
ASK THE PRO
GOLF BY THE NUMBERS
Mistakes can be a good thing
Pretty soon it’s real money
Q: Every time I ask my instructor what I did wrong in my swing, he responds, “Why? Do you want to know how to do it wrong again?” Why won’t he tell me what I’m doing wrong? — W.R. A: Some golf instructors avoid all references to the “bad,” believing that if students consciously think about it, they’ll perform badly. Without a doubt, it’s a good idea not to dwell on mistakes, but you can learn by comparing what you want your body to do with what you don’t want it to do. So to learn how to do something correctly in your swing, it can be helpful to know what’s wrong and then do the opposite. For example, to learn how to make a cor-
Rumor is that 23-year-old Rory McIlroy will sign a 10-year, $250 million endorsement deal with Nike. But before you say he’s overpaid, get out your calculator: That’s only $25 million a year, which is about $2.08 million per month or $480,000 a week. Looks a lot different when you break it down to weekly income figures the rest of us can relate to, doesn’t it? The guy on the TV sitcom “Two and a Half Men” made a million dollars an episode before his talent gave out. For a 60-minute show, that’s $16,666 a minute, not counting time out for commercials. That’s real money. And baseballer Alex Rodriguez has made so much money for so long that he’s gone from being called A-Rod to A-Lot. It’s a sign of admiration when cynical journalists show respect for the irrevocably overpaid by assigning a nickname. Remember that this McIlroy thing is just a rumor. He could ultimately be cut down to starvation wages, say $200 million, which would only be $20 million a year or … well, you can do the math.
rect weight shift, make a swing with the incorrect weight shift and tell yourself, “No, that’s wrong.” Then make a swing with a correct weight shift and tell yourself, “Yes, that’s right.” By telling yourself something is wrong, you label that action off-limits. Conversely, by telling yourself something is right, you label that action as something worth repeating. So the next time you identify an error in your golf swing, don’t try to forget it immediately. Instead, use the faulty move to help ingrain the proper move. Then forget it. (To Ask the Pro a question about golf, email him at: pblion@aol.com.)
SCIENCE SAYS
THE GOLF DOCTOR
Training for longer drives
Sunscreen goes up in flames
Functional training is different than general fitness training because its focus is on the specific muscles used in the sport you are training for. Researchers at the University of San Francisco studied 18 senior male golfers (average age: 70.7 years), splitting them into an exercise group (the “hot group”) and a control group. The hot group participated in an eight-week functional training program comprised of flexibility, core stability, balance and resistance exercises. The control group received no training. Both groups’ clubhead speeds were measured with a launch monitor before and after the training. After the intervention, clubhead speed increased in the hot
group from 78 mph to 83 mph, which is an increase of about 15 yards (3 yards for every 1 mph). Another way to look at it is that not only did they hit their driver 15 yards farther, but they also hit their irons farther. Instead of hitting a hard 6-iron, they can now hit a smooth 7. There was no increase in clubhead speed in the control group. “In summary,” wrote the authors, “this functional training program resulted in significant improvements in clubhead speed and several components of functional fitness. Future research should continue to examine the effect of functional training programs on sport performance and functional fitness in older adults.”
“How’d you play today?” It’s a common golferto-golfer question, but now the answer, “Man, I was on fire,” takes a new turn, according to an Associated Press report about a sunscreen product that can literally set your face on fire. The maker of a popular sunscreen is recalling some half-million bottles of spray-on lotion after some users burst into flames. Banana Boat is recalling its UltraMist sunscreen, including aerosol products like UltraMist Sport, UltraMist Ultra Defense and UltraMist Kids. “If a consumer comes into contact with a
flame or spark prior to complete drying of the product on the skin, there is a potential for the product to ignite,” the company said. Dr. Darrel Rigel, a past president of the American Academy of Dermatology, cautions against over-reaction: “I think you just have to use common sense and not be near an open fire when you put on aerosol anything.” So what’s all the fuss? Just add a warning to the fine print: “Warning — Don’t smoke, weld or use a flame thrower while aerosoling.” Like the doctor says, just use some common sense.
QUOTE OF THE WEEK
“This is a sport where we turn ourselves in on mistakes … that’s one of the neat things about our great game, and I think with the testing, it’s only enhanced that respectability throughout all of sport.”
— Tiger Woods, when asked about the Lance Armstrong doping scandal. Woods at one time was rumored to have taken HGH, a banned substance, during his knee rehab, but there was never any substantiation of the rumor. HGH is detected only by blood sampling, and the PGA program uses only urine tests.
