This week we are featuring “Cyprus” and “Suzie.” Cyprus is a three-year-old yellow lab mix. He is a sweet boy that likes being with people. He walks very good on a leash and enjoys play dates with other dogs. Suzie is a three-year-old long haired beauty. She is black and white, but her tail is mostly white. She doesn’t like to be picked up and prefers to have things as she wants. She can be a bit of a diva, but does well living our cat colony room with the other cats.

CASTING VISION FOR THE FUTURE, ONE PIN AT A TIME
Scott Wise Editor scott.wise@starmediagroup.com
ies and shows. It didn’t take long, and I literally mean that it took me about 15 minutes of this, to become hooked. A few weeks later, I created a new board called, “It’s coming!” It’s a board focused on looking to the things we see in our life one day; our beautiful country farmhouse, my new truck and all the little technological gadgets that I’d love to own but can’t justify buying instead of diapers right now. See, Pinterest has become a way for me to ‘cast vision’ at my future. If we live in the present for too long, we’re going to miss out. I refuse to let things slide past me because I don’t have them yet. Granted I’m still young, but there are plenty of folks out there who still have 10, 20, 30, 40 and even 50 years left of life and have stopped casting vision for the future. Maybe you’ll do it through Pinterest, maybe not. But it’s important to remember to never just be settling in life. There is always a higher place that you can rise to, so I encourage to look for that place and put it before you- the proverbial carrot on the string.

“How does my hair look? I put it in a sock this morning.” “Pinterest?” “Yes! So how does it look?” Believe it or not, this is a fairly regular conversation in our house. Perhaps not so much the hair-in-a-sock situation, but my wife will often pose to me a question that, albeit ridiculous, generally provides her with a good outcome. And, with this case being no exception, this process began when my wife discovered Pinterest. She wrote a column a few weeks ago in ‘Homemade

I focus on the details because I have to, and my nature is to want to be in control of every part of the situation (yes, a characteristic that can be both beneficial and damaging). But ultimately, I love to zoom out and look at the situation as a whole. How is what I’m doing today, right now, impacting my life and my family a year, five years or even ten years down the road. A few months ago, I created a Pinterest account. At first, I didn’t use it much. I honestly still hadn’t found the point of it. Then Katy encouraged me to create a board for something that I had interest in, not just something that was coming up randomly. I created my first board, ‘Nerd Life,’ and began finding pictures and funny quotes from my favorite science fiction mov-

by Katy’ where she talked about Pinterest, but I’ll do a brief recap for those of us who may not be as familiar with the system. Pinterest is a fairly new social media website that grows its user base by allowing members to post, or ‘pin,’ pictures of items that appeal to them. These pins are then sorted into boards, also created by the user, that allow them to classify their pins accordingly. For instance, you can create a board for ‘dream home,’ then pin pictures of everything you’d love to one day see in your dream home. For the better part of a year, possibly closer to eighteen months, I fought tooth and nail with the madness of Pinterest. Here this seemingly pointless and redundant website had sucked my wife in to what appeared to be an endless funnel of wasted time and ideas that, while witty, were far too messy or time consuming for the real-life human being to accomplish. But then something amazing happened- she began to do and create the items and crafts that she saw. I’d come home to unique meals and desserts that I’d never heard

RELIGION SECTION Keeping the Faith
Dear Pastor, the other day in church I heard the expression, “walking in love.” What does this saying mean?
Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church Fredonia fcfredonia.org
walking down the isle to meet her husband, a chubby little bare-bottomed angel shooting his arrow at couples, or the passion of a moviekind-of-love between the lead actors. This is a kind of love… but I’m convinced that in today’s it’s not the kind of love that God world, there is an incredible need meant when He said, “For God so to understand this topic. Learning loved the world that He gave His to walk in love is so foundational only begotten Son, that whoever and critical to our learning to fol- believes in Him should not perlow God’s Word in our lives. The ish but will have everlasting life, answer, however, requires us to ( John 3:16)”. The word “love” in first examine the meaning of the the first examples is founded in word “love”. the Greek word “eros” and refers When we think of love, we usuto a romantic love and physical ally think of romantic love. This passion. The word eros suggests entails images of a beautiful bride self-fulfi llment and possession.
This love gains strength from emotion. In John 3:16, however, the word “love” is derived from the Greek word “agapeo” and means “a love based on affection, benevolence or charity; it is love in a social or moral sense.” For the purpose of the next few columns, as we examine “walking in love,” we will be referring to the Biblical, or agape, form of love. As our primary or key scripture, let’s look at the famous, 1 Corinthians 13:4-8. “Love is patient, love is kind, love does not envy, love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is
not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.” 1 Corinthians 13 is sometimes called “the Love Chapter” and while it has been included in many of the wedding addresses I have done over the years, the love it actually references is so much more that just marital love! If we could just learn to apply these few scriptures to all areas of our life, we would truly learn to “walk in love” and have great victory in our relationships!

going to happen? The person with 500 running steps is going to get a good jump. But will it matter? The gap is still 50 feet and even with that much of a running start nobody can jump that far. They might have gotten a ways out there but still they came short. The person with a 100 steps? Same thing. The person with zero steps? They come short. Unfortunately people are trying to make the jump themselves all the time. People with the good works trust that their running start will get them over. And people without a running start feel hopeless. They both are doomed unless a bridge is built. Romans 10:9 says, “If you shall confess (or speak) with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord and believe IN YOUR HEART
that God raised Him from the dead you shall be saved.” Notice it says nothing about your money, church history, or deeds. God is interested in a heart decision. There are not enough good works to get you in and there are not enough bad works to keep you out. There is no running start. God wants your trust. Will you give it to Him? You can only bridge the gap when you pray out of a sincere heart to accept Jesus Christ to be your Lord. It sounds like this: “Dear God, I believe Jesus Christ is the Lord. I believe in my heart that you raised Him from the dead to save me. Forgive me of my sins. Jesus I take you as my Lord and Savior. Come into my life. In Jesus Name, Amen.” Please share this with others.
SENIOR SECTION Four Reasons Veterans Should Work With a Housing Counselor When Pursuing Homeownership and Other Personal Financial Goals Contributed Article CHRIC
In an effort to improve the homeownership and financial planning outcomes of active duty service members and veterans, Chautauqua Home Rehabilitation and Improvement Corporation (CHRIC) Executive Director Joshua Freifeld today emphasized the benefits of working with nonprofit housing counselors and nonprofit financial capability coaches when considering homeownership. A recent survey conducted for NeighborWorks America, a national nonprofit corporation that provides financial and technical assistance support to CHRIC and more than 235 other NeighborWorks organizations around the country found that homeownership is a major goal for veterans
and their families. According to the survey, 92 percent of veterans said that homeownership was an important part of their American Dream. And by a nearly three-to-two margin (49 percent to 32 percent), veterans today feel prepared to buy a home. Against this backdrop, Freifeld identified four reasons that service members and their qualified family members considering homeownership or financial planning should work with a housing counselor. These reasons included how taking advantage of nonprofit housing counseling and education could help reduce the significantly higher mortgage delinquency rate seen among borrowers with mortgages backed by a Department of Veterans Affairs guaranty. Get trained on the home buying process
With home prices rising in nearly every market across the United States, and mortgage rates on the increase, too, active duty service members, veterans and eligible spouses have the unique opportunity to purchase a home with a zero down payment because of the 100 percent borrowing ability enabled by a home loan backed by a Veterans Affairs guaranty. “A zero percent down payment mortgage could be a great way for those who qualify to achieve homeownership,” said Freifeld. “But there’s more to buying a home than having enough money for the down payment. It’s extremely important to be trained in the home buying process and to know how to avoid potential risks. That’s where NeighborWorks network and other nonprofit housing counseling agencies add tremendous value,
by providing step-by-step information on everything from how to pick a real estate agent to guidance on home energy efficiency. ” Although 49 percent feel prepared to buy a home, nearly one third do not. Whether you are a confident homebuyer or a nervous one, CHRIC regularly offers opportunities to potential homebuyers to learn how to make the best decision for them when choosing to buy a home. Take steps to reduce default risks One of the major downside risks of homeownership is delinquency that could lead to foreclosure. Default and foreclosure damage a homeowner’s credit, cause extra stress and could lead to poor financial decisions -- such as falling prey to a mortgage loan modification scam -- that have the potential produce even

worse financial outcomes. “Based on data from the credit reporting company Experian, we know homebuyer education and counseling is effective at helping to reduce serious mortgage delinquency,” said Freifeld. “There are many factors that could lead to delinquency and default, but one thing that seems to help reduce the risk of default is the kind of housing counseling and education that is offered by CHRIC.” Locate closing cost assis-
tance VA mortgage eligible homebuyers have the opportunity to include their closing costs into the overall mortgage amount borrowed. Although closing costs vary from location to location, they typically are several thousand dollars. But what if VA borrower who may have little cash saved didn’t want to borrow the closing costs as well as the money needed to purchase the house. What’s the solution? CONTINUED ON PG 5 320 N.

VETERANS HOUSING, CONTINUED FROM PG 4 “There are a number of ways that working with a nonprofit housing counselor could help a VA mortgage borrower raise closing costs,” explained Freifeld. “Helping potential homeowners secure down payment and closing cost assistance grants is a staple of CHRIC and other nonprofits members of the NeighborWorks network. While each assistance program has different terms and conditions, the best way to determine eligibility is to work with our Homeownership Pro-
gram Manager.” Connect With a Financial Coach According to Freifeld, a growing number of nonprofit housing counseling organizations – including CHRIC are increasing the skill-set of their staffs by having some counselors become certified as financial capability coaches. “Financial capability coaches help everyone establish a plan to meet their financial goals, whether that’s to achieve homeownership or another goal
such as decreasing credit card balances or increasing savings,” said Freifeld. Research from a recent project between the Citi Foundation and NeighborWorks America found that that people who received financial coaching significantly improved their savings habits, enhanced their credit scores and meaningfully paid down debts. “Nonprofit housing counselors who also are certified financial coaches are a key asset for service members to connect to,” said Freifeld. “The bot-

we are very proud of the hard work and dedication of our physicians, hospital and dialysis staff, and community-at-large whose tremendous efforts improve the overall health and well being of those we are so privileged to serve.” WCA Hospital received the IPRO Quality Award for implementation of process changes that improve patient safety, reduce infection rates, and provide quality care to their patients. Recognition was given to WCA for their exemplary performance in attaining an AV fistula rate of 70.9%—the highest AV fistula rate of any dialysis facility in upstate New York, and in recognition of members of the staff for sharing best practices with the end-stage renal dialysis community. A fistula, used for hemodialysis, is a direct connection of an artery to a vein. This is the preferred type
of access because once the fistula properly matures and gets bigger and stronger it provides an access with good blood flow that can last for decades. The National Kidney Foundation, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, DaVita Patient Citizens and other organizations and experts agree that fistulas are the best type of vascular access. Low rates of complications, clotting and infection all contribute to the fistula’s reputation as the “gold standard” of vascular access. Accepting the Award for WCA Hospital was Glenda Campbell, R.N., FA, DaVita. “By encouraging all patients to have fistulas, not only are we assuring that our patients receive the best care, but we are being good stewards to the financial resources available,” said Glenda. “It is only through a true interdisciplinary approach to caring for per-

I would like to extend my thanks to the entire medical community
from our teammates in the dialysis unit, WCA surgery team, radiology and scheduling departments and medical office personnel, to the transportation services in our community for their assistance in helping individuals with endstage renal disease live a better life.

Whether it’s garden the ladies stepped in to size or a miniature, toy keep the heavily depended trains bring out the kids in anyone, male or female, upon railroad operating.
This resulted in record numbers of women being hired by the railroad. Now, more than 150 years since the first women were hired as domestic laborers by B&O Railroad, women have worked their way through the ranks and can hold positions in the railroad business such as crane operator, pipe fitter, welder, engineer, brakeman, machinist or manufacturer. Through the help of organizations such as the League of Railway Industry Women and the American Council of Railroad Women, women are provided the help, education and support they need to succeed in the rail industry as qualified workers alongside their male peers. While the field remains a predominantly male industry, the can-do attitude of those early female railroad workers has demonstrated that women are just as capable of working in the railroad field as their male counterparts. Working in the railroad industry may not be every woman’s cup of tea, but love of the railroad doesn’t consist of only employment. For as long as women have been working in the industry, they have also been enjoying the benefits of train travel. Prior to the availability of car or plane travel, train travel provided solutions to the pampered needs of its travelers with
dining cars, sleeping cars and lounges. In the past, passengers could smoke and drink to their hearts content as they leisurely traveled by rail from destination to destination. Today, rail cars are nonsmoking, but passengers can still enjoy this relaxing mode of transportation that goes to most destinations and offers breathtaking scenes and vistas to those willing to ride the rails. Amtrak is the passenger train system that services the United States, and railway travel is common in other countries. Whether taking a one-way trip or a scenic natural park or fall foliage tour, train travel appeals to the nostalgic adventurer in many of us. The arrival of the upcoming holidays often brings out the biggest railroad enthusiasts of all, the toy train hobbyists. No longer does the Lionel set belong to little Johnny and grandpa, because Sally loves trains too and she’s going to get her very own. The collecting of toy trains has been around almost as long as women have worked in the railroad industry. Toy trains began as a way to show promotional or sale models of trains. In the early 1900s, toy train sets became very popular with the boys, with their first railroad line often circling the Christmas tree. Eventually the family’s love of

trains spilled over and the toy train hobby appealed strongly to girls. With a similar appeal like other crafts and hobbies, toy trains bring out the engineer, the town planner, the interior designer and the decorator. Toy trains come in a variety of sizes, from larger garden size trains to miniature trains with a holiday or historical theme. Hobbyists can create layouts with logging towns, trestles and tunnels, water features and light shows and even develop a narrative to accompany a train show. Enthusiasts enjoy sharing their train fascination with kids, grandkids and fellow train enthusiasts. Trains appeal to all ages and both genders, in a
variety of enjoyable ways. For young ladies, there are opportunities for railroad careers if one so chooses. For the adventurous, locomotive travel provides a relaxing way to see and experience the country and the world. And for the young at heart, a toy train hobby can provide hours of endless enjoyment in the design, setup and operation of a miniature world of trains.

This week:
rAINY DAY AcTIVITIeS, PArT 2 By Katy Wise Contributing Writer
Last week, we took a look at some ideas for keeping kids occupied indoors. For whatever reason you find yourself stuck on the home front, you will need to find something to keep your baby, toddler or young child busy and happy. Recently, we started our infant on solid food, while still knee deep in the throes of potty training. Looking back on this decision, I would probably never suggest to anyone to attempt both of these things at once. Are they both necessary? Yes, but I think we could have put off the solid foods until my toddler can watch an episode of ‘Curious George’ without wetting the couch. We are now committed to both of these tasks, which means that we don’t leave the house much. The thought of packing an entire change of clothes for each child, a travel potty (or considering the possibility of balancing my toddler over a public toilet, with my infant sitting on the floor in his car seat) usually talks me out of any silly notions I may have of a quick run to the store in the morning. There’s just no such thing. Am I saying all of this to complain? No, I’m just being realistic. It’s a lot of work to get a child of any age outside of the house. People who aren’t in this stage of their childrens’ lives often forget or just don’t understand what it’s like to leave the house with little ones. All of this being said, and for the reasons listed above, I have spent a lot of time researching homebased entertainment for ‘littles.’ Some of the ideas we utilize aren’t all that creative, but seem to be forgotten about. In last week’s issue, I shared our play dough recipe and shaving cream sensory bags. Both of these are homemade, and required a little work in the kitchen. If you don’t have much time, or you do find yourself out and about, with a need for quick entertainment, I hope the following ideas will help. I’m sure that many adults can recall making macaroni necklaces in kindergarten, but until recently, I had completely forgotten about this project. My toddler was getting antsy while I was feeding his little brother, and suddenly I recalled the half used box of ziti and the package of pipe cleaners we had.
One great thing about this project is that you can improvise and use whatever materials you have on hand, maybe even make a cheerio necklace to munch on during a long car ride or while watching a movie. I sat him down at his toddler table with the ziti and pipe cleaners, and showed him how to slide the ziti onto those furry twisty things. He was happy for at least 40 minutes with no needed redirection from me. If your child doesn’t do exactly what you showed them, don’t worry about it! Let them be creative. They’re still being crafty, even if their necklace doesn’t resemble anything of the sort. Little imaginations work around the clock, without the cares or limitations that adults have. Another gem that seems to be unappreciated is the classic puzzle. I told you these would be simple! Puzzles can be easy to forget about, especially if you don’t particularly enjoy puzzles, which I don’t, at least by myself. My son however, loves to do puzzles with someone’s help or by himself, and it’s wonderful to watch him twist and turn those pieces until he gets it just right. We have three very sturdy wooden puzzles that get played with at least once a day, improving his memory and fine motor skills. The best thing about the wooden puzzles, at least in my opinion, is that they store easily and can be picked up quick. Never forget the everyday adventures that can be had in your house. Things like making a pillow fort, letting your kids sit on top of the washer and press the buttons or turn dials, or helping to make dinner by standing on a chair and handing you simple ingredients don’t cost anything and will provide your kiddos with great memories. Give them a pair of tongs, and have them pick up objects around the house with them! These things that we take for granted are treasure to kids. This might also be why they get whiny while you’re doing projects without them. They just want to be included, and it’s tough to understand why mommy doesn’t use her apron as a superhero cape, or wear the mixing bowl as a hat. Have you ever noticed that aprons can easily be turned around, instantly turning you into a world saving hero? So take this opportunity to be the super mommy that you are.

The SUNY Fredonia School of Music announces a rare opportunity to meet legendary Latin jazz trumpeter, Arturo Sandoval, on Sunday, Nov. 10 from 4 to 5 p.m. at the Dunkirk Boys and Girls Club (296 Lake Shore Dr. E.). The Meet & Greet is free and open to the community, part of the 9-time Grammy artist’s three-day residency at SUNY Fredonia. This event is made possible thanks to the generous support of Hodgson Russ, LLP of Buffalo. Boys and Girls Club is a United Way Community Partner. “We are delighted to be hosting this music icon,” said Karl Boelter, School of Music Director, “and we are thrilled to be partnering with both the Boys and Girls Club and the Dunkirk High School jazz program for this community event. It will be an hour of great music, local food, and one of the greatest jazz trumpeters of all time.” A protégé of the legendary jazz master Dizzy Gillespie, Sandoval has been seen by millions at the Oscars performing with Celine Dion, at the Grammy Awards with Justin Timberlake and in his own right as a leader. He also performed at the Billboard Awards with Alicia Keys. Sandoval has been awarded 9 Grammy Awards, and nominated 17
times. He has also received 6 Billboard Awards and an Emmy Award. Sandoval was born in Artemisa, a small town in the outskirts of Havana, Cuba, on November 6, 1949, just two years after Gillespie became the first musician to bring Latin influences into American Jazz. He began studying classical trumpet at the age of twelve, but quickly caught the spark of the jazz world and has since evolved into one of the world’s most acknowledged guardians of jazz trumpet and flugel horn, as well as a renowned classical artist, pianist and composer. Sandoval will speak about his Latin roots and music experiences, engaging both young and old alike with anecdotal stories from his intriguing life and groundbreaking career as a Latin jazz musician in the US. Students from the Dunkirk High School jazz band will provide music for the event, and food from local restaurants will be featured. Sandoval will speak about his Cuban roots, his life and career in music, and will meet with the community in a casual way. Dunkirk High School Band Director, Jenniene Eimers Scarem, organized jazz combos of current students and recent graduates to play at the event. Current Dunkirk students to perform include: Christopher Michalski, Drum Set; Alex Pryll, Bass & Guitar;

Opera House” notes Opera House Executive Director Rick Davis. “Mike Randall loves to perform Mark Twain Live! here because of the connection Twain had with Fredonia.” As many locals know, Twain was fond of Fredonia and was a frequent visitor because his mother and sister lived here during the late 1800s. Having first seen Fredonia in 1870 while on a lecture tour, Twain, then editor of the Buffalo Express, married Olivia Langdon, of Elmira, a few weeks later and returned to the village often. Samuel Langhorne Clemens had many occupations in his lifetime. In addition to newspaper editor and reporter, he spent time as
a river boat pilot, a gold miner and of course, as an author (although not always a successful one). But where he really shined was as a speaker on the stage. Clemens hit the stage with his first lecture tour even before his pen name, Mark Twain, had become a household word. Eventually, he grew into one of the funniest and most sought-after speakers of his day. Several lecture tours and hundreds of speaking engagements helped the humorist refine his storytelling skills into a fine art. In more than 40 years of “being” Mark Twain, Randall has given more than 2,000 performances. To transform himself into the 70-year-old Twain, the
59-year-old Randall spends more than three hours at the make-up table. Critics and audiences nationwide agree that Randall in Mark Twain Live! is a delightful experience. “Move over Hal Holbrook, Mike Randall is here ... one of the most remarkable evenings of entertainment to be experienced,” notes the Washington News. When “Twain” walks onstage, the audience is in for a rare treat – two hours of folksy, wise-cracking wit and wisdom in Twain’s own words. Randall as Mark Twain points his irreverent finger of humor at everything from politics to religion, making it clear why some have called Twain “America’s original
stand-up comic.” Tickets for Mark Twain Live! are $15 ($13 for Opera House members) and may be purchased in person at the Opera House Box Office or by phone at 716-679-1891, TuesdayFriday, 1-5 p.m. Tickets may be purchased online anytime at www.fredopera. org.

Opera House Live at the Met Season Presents Puccini’s Tosca Contributed Article 1891 Fredonia Opera House
Live at the Met, the Metropolitan Opera’s awardwinning series of live, high definition opera transmissions to theaters around the world, continues its 2013-14 season at the 1891 Fredonia Opera House on Sat., Nov. 9, at 1 p.m., with Giacomo Puccini’s classic opera Tosca. “We’re very excited to be participating in our third full season of Live at the Met broadcasts,” notes Opera House Executive Director Rick Davis. “The audiences, while small, have been extremely enthusiastic about this series. There’s just something exhilarating about seeing an opera production presented by one of the world’s foremost companies and seeing it right here in Fredonia at the same time audiences in NYC are seeing it live.” In this Met production of
Tosca, soprano Patricia Racette sings the title role of the jealous diva opposite Roberto Alagna as her lover Cavaradossi. George Gagnidze plays Scarpia, the sadistic chief of police who wants Tosca for himself. The production also features John Del Carlo. Italian Maestro Riccardo Frizza conducts. The opera’s story is the tale of a beautiful singer, her artist lover and her lecherous admirer. Suspicion, betrayal, vengeance and murder combine against a backdrop of revolution to form one of opera’s most popular and oft-performed tragedies. The opera is famous for its aria, Vissi d’arte (I lived for my art), which Tosca sings in Act II as she contemplates her fate. Live at the Met telecasts are now shown in more than 2,000 theaters in 64 countries, making the Met the only arts institution with an ongoing global art series of this scale.
The Met was the first arts company to experiment with this type of broadcast, beginning on a modest scale in 2006 and growing every season since then, with more than 10 million tickets sold to date. Met opera stars serve as hosts for the series, conducting live interviews with cast members, crew and production teams, and introducing the popular behind-the-scenes features; altogether the worldwide audience is given an unprecedented look at what goes into the staging of an opera at one of the world’s great houses. Individual tickets to each of the operas in the season are $20, ($18 Opera House members, $15 students). The Opera House also offers a flexible subscription consisting of eight tickets that can be used however the patron wants – one at a time to eight different operas, all at once for eight people, or anything in between. It is $142. Tick-

Business Spotlight: Madenford Spring and Auto, Inc.
Glen Putcher, owner of Madenford Spring and Auto, stands in front of the entrance at their new location, 80 Water St. in Fredonia.
By Scott Wise Editor
In the entrepreneurial world, they say the first five years make or break the business. For Glen Putcher at Madenfod Spring and Auto, Inc., a recent move to a better location marks his fifth year in a successful Western New York startup. Putcher actually took over Madenford in 1994, but at the time it was located in Pennsylvania. Seeking to be closer to family in the area, the Putcher family made the move back
in 2008 at the start of the Great Recession. “It was hard, there were three things that hit us when we came here,” said Putcher. “First was the new business, second was the economy and third was the time of year.” But hard work, honesty and good service have paid off, and the business is thriving. Madenford was located on Norton Place in Fredonia, behind Arkwright Printing. When the garage on the corner of Water and Liberty Streets (the actual address is 80 Water St.)
became available, Putcher saw it as a good move for him and his business. “We’ve already got new people coming in just about every day,” said Putcher. “There was a lot of inventory to move over, but it’s a good move. The old customers that used to come here before it closed are coming back. It’s local, and people can walk here from around the area.” Putcher’s business has been growing for many reasons, one of which being his vast mechanical abilities. In his words, “we can do just
Madenford’s new location, 80 Water St. in Fredonia
about everything to just about anything.” Madenford takes in cars, trucks and motor homes for services from clutches, brakes, exhausts, tuneups, oil changes to welding, fabricating, tires and hitches. And, importantly, Madenford is a New York State inspection location for cars, trucks, trailers and motorcycles. “As long as I can fix it, I will fix it,” said Putcher. “And I’ll charge what’s fair.” Looking ahead, Putcher has high hopes for the
future of his business. “I’m always looking forward, looking positively to bigger and better things,” said Putcher. “Eventaully, I want to be able to add on. We just have to have the business to do it. Right now, though, it’s looking like the best move we’ve ever made.” Successfully starting a company from scratch in a new place can be a daunting task, but Madenford Spring and Auto was up for the task and is now a staple of dependable auto repair in the north county area.
“I had to start over,” said Putcher. “But being honest, being truthful and being a reliable mechanic that’s there for people when they needed me got us through. That’s what everybody wants. I’ll tell people what they need, and when it needs it- and I’m not going to mislead.” Madenford is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. For more information, contact Putcher at 672-7242.
kinds of gestures. To make it even a bit more complicated, different apps on those devices will respond to a certain set of gestures if you want to interact with it. For example, on an iPad, placing four fingers on the screen and swiping up will reveal all of the applications that are currently running. Swiping down on an iPhone will reveal current events on your calendar. There are other devices that have their own sets of gestures and responses. Video game systems have their own set of
3D gestures that allow you to run, jump, and swing your arms as you navigate through a virtual world. 3D interaction provides lots of opportunities for computers that have not yet been applied. It is difficult to know for how long the idea of input through touch will dominate our personal computers. We have already begun to see phones and televisions take voice commands pretty efficiently. I believe, however, that the power of touch will be around for quite a while.
Tech Living The Power of touch
By Phil Bens Contributing Writer
If you ever took a basic computer science course you learn that computers receive input and render output. Common input devices are keyboards and mice while common output devices are monitors and printers. One of the most revolutionary input devices was the mouse. The mouse was invented in 1965 and it was an invention that made personal computing very easy. The mouse allowed for people to interact with a computer quickly because the computer user did not have to type numerous
commands, nor did they have to remember the commands. Since the popularity of the mouse, we have witnessed other devices that have taken input through the use of our touch. The use of touch has been a powerful phenomena. If you have always interacted with a computer through a mouse or keyboard, the use of touch seems foreign. It reminds me of the days when people started to learn to use a mouse. The art of “double-clicking” was sometimes hard to
grasp. It involved a certain rhythm and coordination to use the mouse efficiently. Touch can be very much the same. Getting the feel so that you touch hard but not so hard that the system does not respond. Someone explained the correct way to touch a screen as “to touch with intention.” I believe this to be to touch softly but firmly. The next skill that computer users need to develop when using a touch surface is the ability to use gestures. Different kinds of devices respond to different
New Book Examines Biblical Parables Contributed Article SUNY Fredonia
In his newest book, “Jesus the Radical: The Parables and Modern Morality,” SUNY Fredonia Distinguished Teaching Professor of Philosophy Raymond Belliotti interprets and critically examines parables in the New Testament. Belliotti lays the groundwork for his 15th book by explaining that, unlike academic philosophers, religious reformers and custodians of societal traditions utilize stories to establish their moral conclusions. As a result, the Bible is rich with imaginative parables that press themselves upon our minds, stir our deepest emotions and teach us moral lessons in unforgettable contexts. The power of parables and folklore arises from their accessibility, colorful cast of characters and magical allure, Belliotti said. Events occur in stories that transcend the natural laws of reality – animals become active moral agents, superhuman beings intervene
and miracles spring up at appropriate occasions. Additionally, comedic and tragic artistic considerations often demand the inclusion of episodes that require the audience to take astounding leaps of faith. As a result, parables and folklore are exquisitely more entertaining than a painstaking philosophical demonstration, Belliotti concluded, but they are also less rigorous than philosophical arguments. Conflict, tension and outright contradiction pervade Biblical parables when the entire set of moral tales is considered as a whole. “Perhaps that is their greatest lesson: the human condition resists neat, fully coherent explanations and principles that might capture the complexity of our moral life,” Belliotti said. “Jesus the Radical: The Parables and Modern Morality,” connects the lessons of six parables – the Good Samaritan, the Prodigal Son, the Laborers in the Vineyard, the Unforgiving Servant, the Rich Fool
and the Unjust Steward – with contemporary philosophical issues structured around morality and the art of leading a good human life. “I hope to highlight just how radical was the historical Jesus’ moral message and how enormous a challenge he raised to the conventional wisdom of his time. More importantly, I aspire to demonstrate how deeply opposed is Jesus’ moral message to the dominant moral understandings of our time,” Belliotti said. “Although our conventional morality is generally profoundly influenced by Judeo Christianity, several of Jesus’ revolutionary insights have been marginalized. By imagining how our world would appear if those insights were highlighted, we can perceive more clearly the people we are and the people we might become.” Charles Taliaferro, professor of philosophy at St. Olaf College, Senior Research Fellow at the Institute for Faithful Research and a member of the
Dr. Raymond Belliotti
Royal Institute of Philosophy, considers “Jesus the Radical: The Parables and Modern Morality” to be essential reading for anyone, Christian or non-Christian, who thinks Jesus’ teachings are conventional, tame and unchallenging. “Belliotti offers a critical, searching and engaging examination of Jesus’ parables, situating them in historical context, but
also viewing them with an appreciative yet critical eye on their contribution to the field of ethics and to our own thinking about how we should live,” Taliaferro said. Much scholarly debate centers on the most plausible interpretation of the historical Jesus, the nature and timing of the Kingdom of God, and the identity and agency of the Son of
Man. Belliotti argues that regardless of one’s answers to these perplexing questions, Jesus intended that the values and ideals of the Kingdom of God that he articulated should guide human action in this world. “Jesus the Radical: The Parables and Modern Morality” was published by Lexington Books, an imprint of Rowan & Littlefield.

The Chautauqua County Health Network, through the Creating Healthy Places to Live, Work & Play initiative of the NYS Health Department, is working to improve the
health of our citizens by increasing opportunities for more active lifestyles and access to healthy food and is collaborating with Audubon and several other community partners to meet these objectives. Audubon has also organized trips to three other city parks in addition to the Riverwalk: College Park, Bergman Park and Allen Park. These four walking field trips offer elementary schools and youth organizations unique opportunities for kids to exercise and learn about the natural world around them. For more information on the Riverwalk and other Walking Field Trips, contact the Jamestown Audubon Center & Sanctuary at 569-2345.

Riverwalk Field Trips connect Kids With Nature And Exercise Nature isn’t just something you find deep in the forest. It is everywhere around us. A new program collaboration of the Chautauqua County Health Network and the Jamestown Audubon Center & Sanctuary is connecting area kids with nature along the Greater Jamestown Riverwalk. Kids from the Winifred Crawford Dibert Boys & Girls Club recently learned about the plants and animals that are abundant along the Greater Jamestown Riverwalk and Panzarella Park in downtown Jamestown. Trained educators from Audubon guided the kids as they explored the wonders of the river and the wildlife it supports. “They ran, jumped, collected leaves, learned about gulls and ducks and learned why it is important to take care of our natural resources,” said Jennifer Schlick, Program Director at Audubon. “The Riverwalk is full of wildlife yearround, not just during the warm months.” The Riverwalk field trips not only expose kids to the wonders of the natural world, they provide the kids with vigorous exercise, something that many kids

imPROvED OffENSE iS kEy TO BLUE DEviLS’ 2013-2014 SUCCESS By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
Part of the DFT Family of Services
The Fredonia State Blue Devils kicked off the new college hockey season in grand fashion last Friday night with a road win over nationally ranked Oswego. For a team coming off a season in which it struggled mightily to put the puck in the net, that one win could set the tone for the entire season. “It was huge,” Fredonia State head coach Jeff Meredith agreed. “I think we had a different vibe to us that night. The coaches could feel that the guys were confident. Even going into the third period down 2-1, we still felt like we were going to win this thing. Confidence is huge no matter what you do. It can take you to places where not having confidence can’t get you.” The Blue Devils will be younger this year thanks to losing 10 players from last year’s team to graduation. Even with that loss of experience, Meredith points to leadership as one of the best qualities of this season’s team. The fi rst name out of the coach’s mouth? Team captain Alex Perkins. “Alex assisted on the game-winning goal on Friday night in Oswego,” Meredith said. “He makes big plays and blocks big shots. That’s going to serve us well. Matt Owezarezak is another guy who has really taken his game to

the next level. He got the other assist on that game-winning goal. He took every big faceoff for us in that game. In the back end our most dynamic player is Ryan Wilkinson; a sophomore. It’s a real learning curve for freshman and it took Wilky into the second
semester before he got his game together. He’ll be a workhorse for us. Those are three guys that will be key for us. Then we have a couple of assistant captain in Ryan Edens and Andrew Christ that are real salt-of-the-earth guys and real good leaders.”
“We’re excited about our home opener. We’ll be playing in the newly renovated Steele Hall. It has all new bleachers and new configuration of the bleachers. The corners are kind of pulled in so the sight lines are much better and you’re that much closer to the action. It’s a beautiful looking place. We’re really excited” said Jeff Meredith.
Even before Friday’s seasonopening win over Oswego, the Blue Devils came into the season confident. A fresh start is sometimes all a team needs to right the ship. “Last year it was obvious we had a tough time scoring goals and that makes everything so hard,” Meredith explained. “But it’s a brand new year. We’ve had a chance to evaluate and do some things differently. Now we have a chance to begin a new year with some of those new ideas and some new players. We have guys coming back that are another year older. We’re really excited about the season.

Four chautauqua county teams Earn trip to ralph Wilson stadium By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
Jamestown, Fredonia, Maple Grove-Chautauqua Lake and Frewsburg will all be playing at Ralph Wilson Stadium this weekend with a chance to take home a New York State Public High School Athletic Association Section 6 championship. The No. 1 Jamestown Red Raiders will take on No. 2 Frontier in the Class AA championship game. Jamestown has gotten through the entire season on the merits of its seemingly unstoppable offense. Then in the playoffs all the Red Raiders did was outscore Niagara Falls and Kenmore West by a combined score of 132-30 in the quarterfinal and semifinal games. In two games against Kenmore West this season, Jamestown quarterback Jake Sisson has thrown for a ludicrous 912 yards and 11 touchdowns. His season touchdown total is up to 49 — 30 through the air and 19 on the ground. In the first matchup the Blue Devils actually led in the third quarter before the Jamestown offense took over. In the Section 6 Class AA semifinal contest however, the Red Raiders made sure the game wouldn’t be anywhere

A 48-yard touchdown by Zacc Kinsey, a 49-yard pass from Sisson to Stephen Carlson and a 39yard touchdown catch and run from Sisson to Zack Panebianco were just some of the backbreaking plays that helped the Red Raiders build a 63-6 lead late in the third quarter.

Fredonia, playing on Dunkirk’s turf field, also showed off a dominant offense in last Saturday night’s 7242 win over Akron in the Section 6 Class C semifinal game.

Lake Erie Fishing Hotline flies such as egg imitations, streamers and bugger patterns, and lures like minnowtype stickbaits and in-line spinners. Anglers can also target steelhead from the Cattaraugus Creek breakwall or off creek mouths by casting spoons, spinners and stickbaits. For those new to steelhead fishing, see the Steelhead Fishing in Lake Erie Tributaries page for information on steelhead fishing equipment, locations and links to stream maps. Rough waters have kept anglers off Lake Erie for much of the past week. However, when weather permits anglers still have good opportunity to catch yellow perch. Previously, anglers were seeing good perch catches off Cattaraugus Creek to east of Sturgeon Point in 45-65 feet of water. Emerald shiners are the best bait and are available for dipping at the foot of Ferry St. (Broderick Park) and other upper Niagara River sites. Keep in mind that transport of collected emerald shiners (from Lake Erie/Niagara River) for use on inland waters is prohibited. View the Baitfish Regulations for information on use, transportation and possession of personally collected baitfish.
tions are decent at present, Saturday’s forecasted winds will likely muddy the river again. Anglers have seen good smallmouth bass action around Strawberry and Grand Islands, and below the Huntley Plant. Live golden shiners have been best, but artificial swimbaits have also produced. As river water temps drop in the fall, the muskellunge fishing heats up. Anglers can target musky in the river by drifting along weed edges or over bottom structure with 8-10 inch tube jigs, large stickbaits or large shiners. Musky are generally caught in the greater Buffalo Harbor by trolling large stickbaits. Shore anglers have seen an uptick in yellow perch catches from sites along the City of Buffalo. Live bait produces a mix of perch, bass and other panfish. Often in fall, shore anglers also catch some rainbow trout from Bird Island Pier, Broderick Park and the northern tip of Squaw Island on drifted egg sacs or casted spoons and spinners.

during a three-year stretch from 2004-2006. Perhaps this is a commentary for another day, but I simply don’t care what guys did back then. If 75 percent of the league was using steroids (or whatever the number may be), how was he gaining that big of an advantage? Why weren’t other players on the Mitchell Report clubbing 50 long balls per year? PEDs certainly didn’t make Bobby Estalella, Randy Valverde or Marvin Bernard instant stars. No, Ortiz was and is just a really good baseball player. NOTE: I’m of the belief that Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire saved baseball with their home run record chase in 1998. The game was dying because of the player’s strike and those two guys and their steroid-enhanced (allegedly in Sosa’s case) accomplishments absolutely brought fans back to the game. You can’t come out now and condemn the very guys you worshipped 15 years ago. And how is the steroid era different than the dead ball era or when the pitcher’s mound was lowered by five inches in 1969? That’s just how the game was played at the time and the best players from that era should be revered not despised. The other factor going
against Big Papi is his designated hitter status. He’s played basically his whole career without a defensive position, which means his offensive statistics would need to be out of this world to get him into the HOF. His stats are great, but not Earth-shattering. The biggest problem perhaps is that he’s not even the best designated hitter who is not in the Hall. That distinction probably belongs to either Frank Thomas or Edgar Martinez. Martinez has better stats across the board while Thomas has a reputation as a staunch steroid opponent. Martinez also played third base for a number of years before switching to DH and Thomas was able to surpass the magical 500 home run mark. So while I would enshrine Ortiz, there’s no way to justify putting him in before Martinez and The Big Hurt. And where does that leave Beltran? It’s hard to believe that a guy as productive as Beltran could potentially be playing for his sixth Major League team come Spring. The free-agent-to-be is in the rare 300 HR-300 stolen bases club (only eight players have accomplished those numbers). He was a premiere defender in center field before age robbed him
of his speed. Yet he showed this season that there’s nothing wrong with his instincts or throwing arm while playing right field. Working in Beltran’s favor is that he just passed the immortal Babe Ruth for ninth on the all-time postseason home run list. That includes a record-tying eight home runs in the 2004 postseason – a stretch that saw Beltran score 21 runs in just 56 plate appearances. What will probably (and should) keep Beltran out is that he’s never been the best player at his position. Not once. Ever. Yes, he’s made a ton of All-Star teams, but clearly that’s not a telling stat now that fans vote on these things. He’s never led the league in any significant offensive category. Injuries robbed Beltran of some of his prime years so his total stats aren’t all that impressive. What separates Beltran from Ortiz the most though is that Big Papi has World Series rings on three of his fingers while Beltran’s hand is bare. As good as Beltran has been in his playoff career it’s never been enough to win it all. At 36 years old, his time is running out and it’s uncertain if St. Louis will bring him back. Beltran’s total numbers of over 2,200 hits, 358 home runs, a .854 OBP and of course the 308 stolen bases are very good. But it’s the Hall of FAME, not the Hall of Very Good. So despite unqualified players like Andre Dawson somehow having a plaque in Cooperstown, there’s just no way I’d be able to cast my vote for Beltran. Luckily for Beltran, my invitation to the Baseball Writers’ Association of America must have gotten lost in the mail. Stefan Gestwicki is the sports editor of the Chautauqua Star.

The Blue Devils -- ranked No. 9 in the Atlantic Region -- accumulated 84 team points, behind Cortland's 20 and Geneseo's 41. Those two teams are nationally ranked. Zakk Hess (Clyde), a junior, was the Blue Devils' No. 1 runner. He finished 10th overall with a time of 25:34.9 for 8,000 meters. His placement earned him Second Team All SUNYAC honors.

‘Rowdy’ Roddy Piper, Jimmy ‘The Mouth of the South’ Hart, X-Pac, Brutus ‘The Barber’ Beefcake, Bushwacker Luke, Tatanka and Marty Jannetty have each been part of some of the biggest events in the history of the WWE. On Friday night they were all in Jamestown entertaining the raucous crowd at the Jamestown Savings Bank Arena. Jimmy Hart has managed some of the biggest names in professional wrestling. He’s been in the corners of Hulk Hogan, the Natural Disasters, Bret ‘The Hitman’ Hart and many others. He’s been part of Wrestlemanias and in venues like Madison Square Garden. Yet he was thrilled to be part of Friday night’s event. “It’s so cool being back here,” Hart said. “It’s great being back with the fans because it gives you a chance to be up close and personal. They bring their merchandise they’ve saved through the years. It gives us all a chance to relive our past a little bit, too. It’s awesome.” For guys who clearly love the sport, wrestling in a smaller venue like JSBA really doesn’t matter because they live to entertain. “I’ve been doing the independent circuit for quite a few years now,” Brutus Beefcake added. “Some of our shows have thousands and thousands of fans and some are smaller. They’re all still fun. I get to meet the fans one-on-one sometimes at the smaller shows. I still have a good time. I enjoy wrestling and that’s

It’s rare that a bye week comes at a bad time, but the 49ers had won five straight games before last week’s bye and their first game isn’t going to be an easy one. The Carolina defense has been among the best in the league and made life miserable for Matt Ryan and the Falcons last week. Cam Newton continues to succeed with a roster that, on paper, doesn’t look all that impressive. On the other side, Colin Kaepernick has been wildly inconsistent for San Fran. This could be the game of the week as both teams are chasing teams in their respective divisions and desperately need wins to keep pace. If the game was in Carolina I’d pick the Panthers, but since it’s in San Francisco….PICK VS. SPREAD: Panthers (+6). STRAIGHT PICK: 49ers.
HOUSTON TEXANS (2-6) at ARIZONA CARDINALS (4-4)
The losing streak is up to six games for the Texans after a second-half collapse against the Colts on Sunday night. At halftime it looked like the Texans were back. Andre Johnson was running wild against the Colts secondary and even without Arian Foster Houston was having its way with Indy. The Cardinals must have been licking their collective chops watching that second half during their bye week knowing the Texans were headed to Arizona in Week 10. Andre Ellington has given new life to the Cardinals offense at running back while Carson Palmer continues to work on his turnover problems. The defense is certainly no joke and should be able to give Chase Keenum a rough time. Foster hurt his back in the first series last week and his status is uncertain. PICK VS. SPREAD: Cardinals (-1). STRAIGHT PICK: Cardinals.
will be gunning to win one for their coach. Logic would suggest that this one will be over by halftime, but the Denver defense is still suspect and Phillip Rivers is playing very well in 2013 and Ryan Mathews should be able to find some running room. Keep your eyes on Keenan Allen who has been coming on strong and averages over 75 yards receiving per game. This should be a shootout and that will always favor the loaded Denver offense. PICK VS. SPREAD: Broncos (-7). STRAIGHT PICK: Broncos.
DALLAS COWBOYS (5-4) at NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (6-2) Rule of thumb: If you let the 1-7 Minnesota Vikings take you down to the wire, you’re probably not a good football team. Despite a winning record, I’d be surprised if there are many fans that feel good about the team after nine weeks. The defense is awful and the offense moves the ball but struggles to get into the end zone. Having DeMarco Murray at 100 percent would be a big boost to the offense. The Saints, meanwhile, lost a head-scratcher to the New York Jets last week. Without Marquis Colston and Darren Sproles, Drew Brees struggled to get the ball to anyone but Jimmy Graham. Now the Dallas defense is a far cry from the Jets, but if neither of those guys are able to go, the once-prolific Saints offense could have to rely on the running game a little more on Sunday night. PICK VS. SPREAD: Saints (-7). STRAIGHT PICK: Saints.

States. The session in Jamestown runs January 12-February 9 at Jamestown CC. Jamestown head coach , Dick Adams, will direct the program. Instructors will include a staff of the area’s best coaches. With a player-coach ratio of 6 to 1, each player gets plenty of individual attention in a small-group atmosphere. In addition to unbeatable instruction by the area's best coaches, players get a preseason tune-up that helps them enter team practice in mid-season form. With numerous age-specific
sessions, instruction is specially tailored for each ability level. Overall, it's the type of intense, professional instruction young players just can't get in a summer league. Since 1988, U.S. Baseball Academy has run hundreds of camps and clinics for thousands of players nationwide. Each week, hitters rotate through a series of supervised stations, including indoor batting cages, with each drill designed to teach a different aspect of hitting. Players enjoy participating in hitting games and
unique stations used by top high school and college programs. The program is designed to improve pitch and strike zone recognition, timing, balance, power, situational hitting, bunting, and other aspects. Pitchers work under the supervision of coaches who can help with all aspects of pitching, from fundamentals and mechanics to more advanced concepts. Drills and repetition will improve a pitcher's speed and control. Our catcher's camp covers all aspects of being behind the plate. Players will get instruction
on stance, signs, receiving, framing, blocking, throwing, fielding bunts, tags and the mental aspects of dealing with pitchers. Registration deadlines are approximately six weeks before each session begins, but last year's camps sold out much earlier. Because of the low player-coach ratio, spots in each session are limited.

National Football League Standings
By Jeff Mezydlo AP Writer
Sabres continue to find ways to beat the sharks continued from pg 1 ''I knew I poked it,'' Wingels said. ''I didn't know where it went.'' Referee Mike Leggo ruled no goal, and the Sharks didn't argue the call. The play apparently was never reviewed by replay officials, and the game continued until the Sabres won in the shootout. Matt Moulson and Logan Couture each scored in the first round of the shootout, and then Miller stopped three straight shots before Hodgson beat Niemi for the winner. ''To go on the road and play a team like San Jose and come in here and get two points is a big thing for us,'' coach Ron Rolston said. ''It's our obligation now to build on that as a team.'' Tallinder, Cody McCormick, Drew Stafford and Tyler Ennis scored for the Sabres, who have beaten the Sharks five straight times. Kennedy and Tomas Hertl scored 70 seconds apart early in the third to erase a two-goal deficit for the
Sharks. Wingels got another equalizer late in the third, but San Jose still lost its third straight game. Marty Havlat also scored and Antti Niemi made 32 saves. ''We can't lose that game,'' Couture said. ''We didn't play very well. We were sloppy with turnovers and sloppy on the power play. We didn't show up ready to play. We waited until the third period to show up and we got a point.'' The third period was filled with excitement with the teams combining for five goals starting when Ennis scored Buffalo's second road power-play goal of the season to make it 3-2. But the Sharks erased that lead in a flash. The first goal came when Joe Pavelski won a faceoff to MarcEdouard Vlasic, whose shot deflected toward Kennedy, who knocked it in for his second goal of the season 3:19 into the period. Then just over a minute later, Hertl took a rebound of Scott Hannan's shot and
skated around the net for a wraparound goal that was his ninth of the season. The Sabres appeared on their way to a rare win when Tallinder scored midway through the third and then they had a two-man advantage later in the period. But Jamie McBain hit the post during the 5-on-3, and the Sharks tied it late, shortly after a penalty to Marcus Foligno ended. Wingels dove into the crease to knock in the loose puck to tie the game but the Sabres didn't fold. ''We stuck with it,'' Foligno said. ''This is a game that we had and we lost it a little bit and then we came back and they unfortunately got a goal. It's just all about rebounding and getting better every shift. Tonight was a great way to start the trip.'' What appeared to be a decided mismatch on paper between a Buffalo team that had one regulation win all season, and a San Jose team with just one regulation loss was anything but on
to the ralph we go continued from pg 1 Over in Class D, Maple Grove-Chautauqua Lake will once again be the team to try and stop No. 1 Randolph’s nearly two-year unbeaten streak. The Cardinals, last year’s New York State champions, have won their last 19 games. Maple Grove-Chautauqua Lake is in its first year as a combined program and the results have been nothing but fantastic. The Thunder Dragons are 7-1 on the sea-
son with the only loss being a 35-7 defeat at the hands of Randolph. The Thunder Dragons used a huge fourth quarter to get past Portville, 21-6, in their semifinal contest. Down 6-3 after three quarters, MGCL scored three times on the ground to take the lead and put the game away. Mitch Sandberg has the goahead score from 3 yards out before Graham Nelson scored on runs of 5 and 47 yards.
On defense, the Thunder Dragons pitched a shutout after allowing a 9-yard touchdown run in the first quarter. Sandberg led the way with 15 tackles while Chandler Baker accounted for 12 stops. The Class D title game will be Friday at 6 p.m. Both of the Class DD semifinal games provided some drama with both Frewsburg and CattaraugusLittle Valley surviving in overtime in their respective
ice. The Sabres overcame an early deficit and scored twice in the second period to take a 2-1 lead heading into the third. Miller took over from there with stellar play on a pair of power plays late in the second. After Wingels hit the crossbar with a nifty shot from the side of the net, Miller got his pad on Justin Braun's rebound attempt to preserve the lead. The Sharks predictably scored first with good pressure from Couture's line paying off with a goal midway through the first period when Havlat backhanded a loose puck in front of the net off Miller and in for his first goal of the season. That ended Miller's shutout streak against the Sharks at 139 minutes, 22 seconds and 88 straight saves. It also marked the 15th time in 17 games that the Sabres allowed the first goal. They have been outscored 21-2 in the opening period this season, while the Sharks have outscored opponents 20-8. games to reach the Section 6 title game. Because there is no Class DD state tournament past the sectional title game, the Timberwolves and the Bears know that win or lose this is the end of the season. Cattaraugus-Little Valley knocked off Panama, 14-8, while Frewsburg edged Sherman 20-14 in the Class DD semifinal games. The Class DD title game will be Saturday at 10 a.m.
