westfield’s Grand theatre By Katy Wise Contributing Writer
Although the movie industry has only grown over time, the experience of going to an old fashioned theatre can never be duplicated by the typical movie theatres of this generation. Everybody can remember their first movie in a theatre, no matter their age. It’s a memorable occasion and somewhat of a cultural rite-of-passage. Those native to the Chautauqua county area may be able to recall ‘The Grand Theatre’ which was once located on the corner of North Portage Street and Main Street in Westfield. One former patron of this old theatre, Pat Locke, said “I remember seeing ‘On The Waterfront’ there as a teenager, it was my first time at the theatre.” The Grand occupied that corner for well over 60 years, with ContinueD on PG 7

With the flakes beginning to fly, the butterball turkeys in the freezer and the Black Friday ads hitting the web, there’s no question - the holiday season is upon us. We all have our yearly traditions; who gets to cut the turkey, when the family goes to get their Christmas tree, and the December 25 present-opening cycle, just to name a few. In our fresh and growing family, we’ve got some traditions that have just been birthed, last year and even plans for new ones this year, that we’re excited to make part of the holidays.

Pets of the Week
This week we are featuring all our Special Needs pets. Our special needs animals are any pets that require either a special home, like Ringo who would prefer being an only pet, or have special dietary or medical issues like Paulie who is FIV+. Each of these pets are loving and will flourish in the right homes. There are quite a few to choose from and they are waiting for the 2nd chance that they so truly deserve. So if you can help a special needs pet that will give you a lifetime of joy and love, now is the time. We will waive all adoption fees for these wonderful four-legged kids. Every pet deserves the love of their own forever family.

This year, we’re starting a tradition of driving around on Christmas Eve with our boys admiring Christmas lights. We’re also officially making Black Friday our ‘tree day,’ going up the hill to chop down the tree and bring it home to celebrate. Many of the items that Dan Myer presented cost little to no money, so don’t let that stop you. There are festivals, craft shows, special trips and places for the whole family that you can do one Saturday this year, but they’ll form memories in you and your kids that will last a lifetime. Growing up, my parents and I would always head up to Niagara Falls for the Festival of Lights. Now, it’s at the fairgrounds, and far less than what it used to be. But I can say this- I looked more forward to the festival of lights than I did Christmas itself. Spending a few nights in a
hotel overlooking the falls, walking around and seeing the lights decorating every building in the area, and the vast displays that decorated both sides of the river were enough to put any kid in his dream world. I remember this annual trip, which probably cost under $500 when all was said and done, more than I remember most Christmases. There’s something about family, there’s something about being together with those we love that jogs our memory. It must be a certain chemical that is released, causing those memories to become more vivid than others. Or, we were just loved enough by a Father to be created to cherish family times in such a way. This year, if you don’t have any new family traditions, make some. Visit a new place, try a new event or make a different kind of hot cocoa. Whether you have young kids, old kids or no kids- do it for you. You deserve a holiday that you can look back on warmly.

Keeping the Faith in the Bible including the well known scripture, John 3:16, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but will have everlasting life.” We also introduced 1 Corinthians 13 as “the love chapter” and will utilize these scriptures though out this study. This week we’ll continue to explore God’s Rev. Michael Lokietek Word on the subject of love Family Church Fredonia and look at the importance of love in a Christian’s life. fcfredonia.org How do we know that Dear Pastor, the other love is important to God? day in church I heard Because He says so in His the expression, “walk- Word!

He didn’t just
command it, Jesus demonstrated God’s love throughout His time on the earth to everybody He taught, healed, and walked with on a daily basis. He also gave us the boundaries for “how much” love when He said, “There is no greater love in mankind than when a man lays down His life for his friend” ( John 15:13). Jesus didn’t just tell us about love…He demonstrated His Own commandment when He chose to go to the cross and “set the bar” for absolute love! Another aspect of the importance of love is that it forms the very foundation of our faith and is our witness to the world. We are called God’s ambassadors to the world (2 Corinthians 5:20). According to the dictionary, ambassadors
are called to represent the interests of their affi liated group and form a communication “bridge” to those “outside.” What kind of ambassadors would we be if we were unable to represent the Word of God and demonstrate His love to those in the world? Jesus said that it’s our love for one another that identifies us to the world as His disciples ( John 13:34). Besides listing the qualities of love (which we’ll discuss in another column), the whole point of 1 Corinthians 13 is to say that love’s the greatest “ingredient” in our life with Christ; “But now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love” (1 Corinthians 13:13)!

People who mocked Christians will be thrust in front of the Christian God. They will realize that glorifying Christ was the only way to glorify the Almighty. They will begin to dig deep into their memories of how at some time they impersonated some Christian value of kindness or charity. They will dig for those memories like a businessman scrambling to produce receipts at a tax audit. They will produce times of generosity and fairness. They will claim to be without murder. Sooner or later the memories will run dry. If you could be generous with your money to earn a seat on Heaven’s floor, when would you know if you gave enough? What if there was one more dollar to give? Maybe fairness can catapult you in. But what about the time
you cheated? What about the time you called in sick just to take a day off ? Was that fair? Maybe kindness will work. What about the people who are more kind then you? They will destroy the grading curve for you. You won’t survive a grading curve. Good thing Jesus destroyed it. Stop wasting precious time. Christ alone is sufficient for a new life. I am so glad that my eternity is not based on my merit. My joy is not in this world. I called upon Jesus to save me. Then living a life pleasing to Him is the only contentment that exists. Call me sometime at Family Church. I would be happy to talk to you about a new life with Jesus.

Tree-mendous SUNY Students Participated In Community Service Day

Contributed Article Greystone Nature Preserve
On a rain swept Saturday afternoon, 14 SUNY Fredonia students left their comfortable lodgings to spend time and energy at Greystone Nature Preserve.
The purpose of their visit was to nurture the thirty trees planted by the Environmental Literature class of 2011. The “final exam” of this class, after much reading and writing and discussing many aspects of environmental literature,
was that each member planted a tree. Each tree was chosen by a student, based on its characteristics and appeal. This experiential aspect of the class gave the learning a visceral significance. After two years growth the

trees needed some TLC. This was provided on the Community Day of Service, which occurred on Nov. 2. It required raking back weeds and grass roots from the base of each tree, then laying a protective layer of newspaper and
finally a thick layer of wood chip mulch. Following the cold and wet outdoor event, students were rewarded with homemade pies and desserts by Dr. Christina Jarvis, campus liaison and hot beverages were served by Diane
Clark and Bill Moran of Greystone Nature Preserve. With the care and attention given to the trees, it is hoped that one class of students will support another for the greening and enhancement of our natural world.

Kiwanis Club Donates equipment to Lillian Dickson Park Project
Contributed Article Andrew Dickson
The Kiwanis Club of Jamestown has donated a $2,500 piece of playground equipment to the Lillian Dickson Park. The new piece of equipment, known as a Flywheel™ Spinner, will be installed in early 2014 when new handicapaccessible preschool equipment will also be installed at the park. Friends and neighbors of the park have been fundraising for new playground equipment for over a year and a half. Nearly $13,000 has been raised toward the $30,000 goal. “When we heard about the LDP playground project, the Jamestown Kiwanis Club entered a national contest to win the Flywheel for the park,” said Wendy Wilcox, Kiwanis Immediate Past President. “To win we had to rally our members and other community supporters to vote for the Lillian Dickson Park project as most deserving and we won! We’re delighted
that the equipment will go to LDP.” The original impetus for park improvements came from Creating Healthy Places to Live, Work, and Play (“CHP”), a project funded by the New York State Department of Health and administered by the Chautauqua County Health Network. CHP has been supporting the LDP neighborhood effort as part of its overall program objectives to promote more active lifestyles and access to healthy food. The LDP volunteers and CHP have made significant strides last year to stabilize the park and increase its use. A Neighborhood Watch group was formed and evening activities for kids were organized. A Zumba exercise class was staged in the park this fall with the help of the YMCA. Improvements at the park have been made during the last two Hands On Jamestown events organized by the Jamestown Renaissance Corporation. National Night Out cel-
ebrations have been staged in the park the last two summers. And CHP has contributed over $11,000 to park improvements including benches, trash cans, bike racks, a climbing wall and fall zone materials. “We’ve made great strides in the last year to make the park a great family space and the Flywheel will add to our momentum,” said David Reinhardt, LDP Chairman and neighbor. “The Kiwanis Club is great partner to LDP and many other worthwhile causes they support in our community.” “The city is grateful for the assistance neighbors and community organizations have put forth to refurbish the Lillian Dickson Park,” said Mayor Sam Teresi. “When citizens partner with their city government, great things can be accomplished. And as a Kiwanian, I’m doubly pleased about the Flywheel contribution.” Located on Falconer St. between Sturges and Bowen, the City Park is the former

Library Plans ‘Food For Fines,’ Fee Changes Contributed Article Prendergast Library
Prendergast Library will hold a Food for Fines Day Friday, Nov. 15, and make changes to some fees and fines, effective Monday, Nov. 18. People who owe fines for returning items late can get their fees erased by bringing in one can or box of non-perishable food for every dollar or partial dollar they owe. Food will be donated to St. Susan Center. Gift cards from Farm Fresh, Tops and Wegmans will also be accepted to help the center buy perishable items for its meal service. “Gift cards are a great option for people who owe quite a bit and those who wish to donate more than
they owe,” according to Library Director Tina Scott. The library cannot accept home-canned items; cans that are past their expiration date, dented, or damaged; or cans with bar codes that have been lined or scratched through. Amounts owed for lost or damaged items are not eligible, and the offer only applies to items from the Prendergast Library collection, not materials belonging to other libraries. No credit will be given on any account beyond erasing one dollar or partial dollar owed for each can or box of food a donor provides. On Monday, Nov. 18, fines will go up to 15 cents a day for everything except DVDs, which will be 50 cents a day. The top fine limit for adult and young adult card holders will
increase to $5, although the top limit for children with juvenile cards will remain $1. Another change on Monday is that the holds fee will be discontinued, so people can reserve items, have them held, and receive notification when they are available at no charge. The only fees for requested materials will for interlibrary loans outside the Chautauqua-Cattaraugus Library System. “We used to charge to cover the cost of postage, but people who reserve items are notified by phone or email now,” Ms. Scott said, “so we are passing the savings along to our borrowers.” For information, call 4847135. The library is located at 509 Cherry St., Jamestown.

nov. 30 Deadline for ordering Audubon 2014 “Bucket List” Calendars Contributed Article Audubon Center and Sanctuary
Would you like to have a year’s worth of truly awesome natural history opportunities you could experience? Or would you simply like to find the perfect gift
for that impossible-to-buyfor person on your holiday shopping list? Either way, the Audubon Center & Sanctuary has just what you need: their 2014 Bucket List Calendar of 12 Local Natural Events. Note: A bucket list -- if you’re not familiar with the term-- is
a list of things you want to experience before you “kick the bucket.” Audubon Senior Naturalist Jeff Tome, who spearheaded the calendar’s creation, explained that, “Every month in the calendar has a once in a lifetime opportunity to see something amazing. If the
photo is of a bull elk bugling, there will be a program so that you can journey into Central Pennsylvania and see the elk. If the photo is of a snipe, we’ll make sure you get to go on a snipe hunt that month. Have you ever seen 40,000 purple martins flying into a roost? If not, we’ll make sure you do!” The calendar is also full of natural events that happen every year, noting when the warbler migration is at its peak, when the tundra swans migrate through the area, and when to put out and pull in bird feeders. It is a great way to get more in tune with what is happening in the natural world and a fun way to try some new things. The Bucket List Calendar can be viewed at the Audubon Center and Sanctuary. Nov. 30, 2013, is the deadline for ordering by calling (716) 569-2345 or visiting www.jamestownaudubon. org and clicking on “Natural History Calendar” in the sidebar under Fundraisers. Cost is $20 or $18 for Friends of the Nature Center. Calendars can be picked up at the Center beginning
Audubon Center & Sanctuary naturalists have created a unique natural history calendar for 2014 with a “bucket list” of must-do local natural events. On view at the Center, the calendars must be preordered by the Nov. 30 deadline.
December 9 or shipped anywhere in the United Stated for $5 per calendar. Proceeds from calendar sales benefit Audubon’s environmental education programs, buildings and trails. When you pick up your calendar, you can also check out the many holiday gift possibilities at Audubon’s Blue Heron Gift Shop, from field guides to insect nets to Conewango Blend birdseed specially formulated for our local feathered friends. Indoor folks will love the books, puzzles, shirts, and jewelry as well as the great
selection of children’s books, toys and stocking stuffers. The Audubon Center & Sanctuary is at 1600 Riverside Road, one-quarter mile east of Route 62 between Jamestown, New York, and Warren, Pennsylvania.

to his plans to modernize the facility. Those who had the pleasure of attending a fi lm showing at the Grand may remember seeing a fi lm that featured actors such as Doris Day, Charles Heston, or Kirk Douglas. Nearly impossible to believe nowadays, is the price of admission to see a featured fi lm at the time of the theatre’s opening. With the current ticket cost being an average of $7.84, today’s young people would most likely be shocked to learn that their parents or grandparents once paid 28 cents to see the newest fi lm. The Grand was a business very much involved in the community when it was up and running, providing a fun place for families to spend time together, couples who were courting, and even a place of employment for high school students and others in the area. During its time of operation, there was an incident involving a high school football player for Westfield Academy, Bret Smith, who was also an employee of the theatre. Smith suffered
an injury during a football game against Falconer in 1975, and was pronounced dead upon arrival to the hospital. As saddening as it was for the community and for Smith’s family to lose a young 17 year old, the event sparked a heartwarming response from the small town of Westfield. The Grand Theatre showed Smith’s favorite movie, ‘American Graffiti,’ in remembrance of the high school senior shortly following his death. “It was packed, the theatre was standing room only,” said Locke. Following Smith’s death, the manager of the theatre, Willy Locke, set up a scholarship, the ‘Bret Smith Leadership Award,’ that is still awarded to Westfield Academy and Central School students to this day. The number of seats has been said to have fluctuated throughout the theatre’s 40 years, but was in the ballpark of 748-850, depending on the current needs of the facility. As stated on a commemorative ornament that was designed with help from
Locke, “Pink-beige glazed blocks with maroon trim, curved marquee & wooden doors with halfmoon windows graced the exterior of the Art Deco/ Moderne theatre which stood on the corner of N. Portage and Main Sts. Opening on July 17, 1941, showing Love Crazy with William Powell & Myrna Loy, the Grand had elegant tapestry covered walls and seated 748 patrons. It was one of the first theatres in the country to have widescreen Cinemascope projection and a stereo sound system. Though razed in April 1993,the memory of this cinema treasure will forever hold a place in our hearts.” Accurately stated, although this theatre can no longer be seen with our eyes, those who visited the theatre will fondly remember this place of the past in their hearts. Grand Theatre ornaments are still available at the McClurg Mansion for purchase. For those interested in the theatre, or other theatres of the area, please visit www. cinematreasures.org

and motivated musicians ages 13 through college. Chosen by teacher recommendation, CRYS students have learning opportunities that are unique in the Chautauqua area. Last March CRYS students met some of the musicians of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra before hearing them accompany a screening of The Wizard of Oz in Pittsburgh’s magnificent Heinz Hall. Plans are being made for a similar enrichment experience this season. Time and time again it has been proven that positive people are happy people. And just to throw one more typical sentiment out there, it’s more blessed to give than to receive. So let’s live grateful lives, by giving to others and giving thanks year round.
In the spring the Youth Symphony has a Chautauqua Weekend of intensive work with coaches at Chautauqua Institution in preparation for the Spring Gala Concert on Sunday, May 4, in the Reg Lenna Center for the Arts. Rehearsals for all three orchestras begin in January, with Prelude at Lutheran on Friday afternoons and the Youth Symphony and YAO at the Reg Lenna in downtown Jamestown on Saturday mornings. Orchestra members pay
tuition, but no one is turned away for inability to pay. Tax-deductible contributions to the Chautauqua Regional Youth Symphony can be mailed to P.O. Box 3454, Jamestown, NY 14702.

opera House Cinema series to screen “Captain Phillips”
Contributed Article 1891 Fredonia Opera House
The 1891 Fredonia Opera House Cinema Series roster of fi lms for November contains four fall
screened on Sat., Nov. 16, and Tues., Nov. 19, at 7:30 p.m. “Captain Phillips” is – through Director Paul Greengrass’s distinctive lens – simultaneously a pulse-pounding thriller, and a complex portrait of the myriad effects of globalization. The fi lm focuses on the relationship between the Alabama’s commanding officer Richard Phillips (Hanks) and the Somali releases that already have pirate captain, Muse, who generated significant Oscar takes him hostage. Phillips buzz! Next in the Series is and Muse are set on an un“Captain Phillips,” the true stoppable collision course story of the Somali pirate when Muse and his crew capture of the cargo ship target Phillips’ unarmed Maersk Alabama, starship; in the ensuing standring Tom Hanks. It will be off, 145 miles off the So-
mali coast, both men find themselves at the mercy of forces beyond their control. Tom Long, in the Detroit News, calls the fi lm “one of the year’s best movies; and it features Tom Hanks’ strongest work in more than a decade.” Peter Howell, in the Toronto Star, calls it “a survival saga that raises the pulse and tweaks the conscience.” Moira MacDonald, in the Seattle Times, says “you won’t forget ‘Captain Phillips’ in a hurry – nor will you forget Hanks, who, in midcareer still finds ways to dazzle us anew.” Peter Travers, in Rolling Stone, says “this is acting of the highest order in a movie that raises the bar on what a true-life action thriller can do.” Rated PG-13 for sustained intense sequences of menace, some violence with bloody images and for substance use, “Captain Phillips” runs 134 minutes. The Opera House Cinema Series is sponsored by Lake Shore Savings Bank. Tickets are available at the door for $7 (adults), $6.50 (seniors & Opera House members) and $5 (students) the night of each screening. A book of ten movie passes is available for $60 at the door or online at www.fredopera.org. For

A PizzARTzy is a clever 10“ circle of original art packaged in a pizza box and was developed when she had the desire to send something inspirational and lighthearted to a friend who was in intensive care. PizzARTzy now has an online presence at www. pizzARTzy.com. Maria Pizzino, manager of Woodbury Vineyards, loved the idea of the pizzARTzy art so much that she invited Ange to develop classes for her customers. This endeavor has led them to creating a beautiful spacious Art Gallery located inside the winery.

JCC Foundation Announces endowment of Gregory t. DeCinque usA scholarship Contributed Article JCC
The Jamestown Community College Foundation has announced the endowment of the Dr. Gregory T. DeCinque Unified Student Assistance (USA) Scholarship, thanks to more than $125,000 in support from local businesses, organizations, foundations, and individuals. Dr. DeCinque’s career in higher education spanned 42 years, the last 19 of which were as president of Jamestown Community College. Upon his retire-
ment in August 2013, Dr. DeCinque had awarded degrees to nearly 14,000 students. During his tenure, he guided a significant expansion of the college’s degree and certificate programs and oversaw the enhancement of the college’s transferability options to include agreements with 43 four-year colleges and universities. One of his defining achievements was the opening of the $31 million renovated Cattaraugus County Campus in downtown Olean in 2003. “I am humbled and honored by the overwhelming support that our com-
munity has shown,” Dr. DeCinque said. “Every year, the USA Scholarship makes a profound difference for so many students and enables them to invest more of their own resources in the pursuit of an advanced degree. It is one of the college’s most important scholarship programs.” The USA Scholarship program provides New York state resident tuition to first-time, full-time freshmen who rank in the top 20 percent of their graduating class from participating schools. USA Scholarship recipients must maintain at least a 3.0 GPA
while at JCC. Since being established in 1979, the USA Scholarship program has provided $6 million to more than 3,000 JCC students. A Dr. Gregory T. DeCinque USA Scholarship will be awarded annually to a qualified student on both the Jamestown and Cattaraugus County campuses. This year’s recipients are Andrew Weber of Olean, a freshman majoring in liberal arts: mathematics and sciences on the Cattaraugus County Campus and Rachel Welch of Great Valley, a freshman engineering science major
on the Jamestown Campus. According to JCC Foundation executive director Michael Moots, 170 pledges and contributions totaling $125,160 were donated to the scholarship campaign. Major gifts were given by the Winifred Crawford Dibert Foundation, Carnahan-Jackson Foundation, Lenna Foundation, Jesse Smith Darrah Fund, DFT Communications, associates of CUTCO Corporation, and the JCC Alumni Association. “The gifts and pledges we received during the campaign are an expression of the appreciation of both
the JCC community and the community at-large for Dr. DeCinque’s service as president,” Moots said. “These scholarships will be a continual reminder of Dr. DeCinque’s dedication to our students and faculty and to the thousands of students who passed through JCC’s doors during his tenure.” Additional contributions to the DeCinque scholarship endowment are welcome.

Carnahan is a long-time member of the Fredonia College Foundation board of directors. He recently served as the chairman of SUNY Fredonia’s successful capital campaign, “Doors to Success.” Carnahan has been recognized with the SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Philanthropy, the Distinguished Service Award from SUNY Fredonia, and with awards from the Boy Scouts of America, Rotary International, Denison University, and the National Society of Fund Raising Executives. As part of the evening’s celebration, the CarnahanJackson Foundation was
named the recipient of the 2013 Community Partner Award in recognition of the foundation’s long and valued relationship with JCC. Since its inception in 1972, the CarnahanJackson Foundation has provided $1.46 million in support to JCC and ranks fourth on the list of the college’s all-time leading donors. The foundation is currently funding a major gift to the USA Scholarship endowment. The John D. Hamilton Award was established by the JCC Foundation in 1995 to recognize individuals whose contributions exemplify those of Hamilton, a past president and trustee emeritus of JCC. Hamilton was among the community leaders who worked diligently to see JCC chartered in 1950 as the first community college in
the State University of New York. The John D. Hamilton Collegiate Center at JCC’s Jamestown Campus is named in his honor. The JCC Foundation is a private, non-profit organization formed in 1983 to manage contributions made on behalf of JCC and to allocate the funds to JCC programs or events that are not included in the college’s operating budget. Funds donated to the JCC Foundation support scholarships, faculty development, cultural events, the acquisition of instructional resources, and special programs for students, faculty, and the community.

All-SUNYAC Teams Announced
Continued on pg 5
commentary continued from pg 1 Two second-year eligible players in Craig Biggio and Mike Piazza should get in at some point. Biggio was an All-Star at not one, not two, but THREE different positions —catcher, second base, center field — during his career. Piazza is arguably the most offensively prolific catcher in the history of baseball. Some other guys I think should get in at some point: Former all-time saves leader Lee Smith, who helped redefine the closer role; Tim Raines, who collected 2,605 hits, 170 home runs and 808 stolen bases during his career; and Edgar Martinez, who might just be the best designated hitter the game has ever seen. Then you have the Roger Clemens-Barry BondsMark McGwire-Sammy Sosa group that will unfortunately never sniff the Hall based on their alleged PED use and subsequent alleged lying and coverups. With the exception of Sosa, these guys were headed to HOF careers before the steroids. It’s just a shame. One last guy I want to mention before getting into active players is Mariano Rivera. The all-time saves leader just finished up his last season and is one of the most widely respected players to ever take the field. I’ve been saying for years that when his time comes Rivera will break Tom Seaver’s record for highest
percentage of votes. Seriously, how could anyone justify NOT voting Rivera into the Hall? Miguel Cabrera: Even at just 30 years old, Cabrera might have done enough to warrant consideration. The 2012 Triple Crown winner just put up a 2013 season that might have been even better than the season prior. Assuming he lands in the top five this season, he’ll have finished in the top 5 in MVP voting seven times in 11 seasons. He’s led the AL in batting average each of the last three years while still being one of the most feared power hitters in the league. He’s just five hits shy of 2,000 for his career. A hip injury cost him a few games this past season, but he’s been incredibly durable. His 148 games played this season were his least played since his rookie callup midway through the 2003 season. The fact that he’s played third base instead of first or DH can only help his case. Even a handful of average years from here on out will get Cabrera a plaque. Roy Halladay: It’s been sad to watch injuries derail Halladay’s once-great career, but that doesn’t erase the fact that for 8-10 years he was the best pitcher in baseball. In an era when pitchers’ win totals are plummeting thanks to overmanaged bullpens, Doc was still able to win at least 20 games three times with two more seasons of 19 wins. His 203 career
he’ll hit big milestones early next year assuming he’s healthy. HOF voters love those nice round numbers. Some more astonishing Pujols facts: His career OPS is 1.008. He’s had four seasons with an OPS over 1.100. In his first 10 seasons in the league, Pujols had an on-base percentage under .403 just once (.394 in his second year). He’s even stolen at least 14 bases in three different Albert Pujols could retire today and assuredly be enshrined in Cooperstown on the first ballot.

His career numbers are Sat great, but he was never 11:0 even close to the best Fri, pitcher in baseball during p.m his career and was rarely, if ever, the best pitcher on Gir Tue his own team. 7:30 A lot of players will fall Bow into that “Hall of Very We Good” category. Guys Lak like Adam Dunn, Paul Konerko, Tim Hudson, C.C. Sabathia and Joe Mauer will probably just have very nice careers, not Hall of Fame caliber careers. There are a few guys I think could push the envelope if they can stay healthy and continue to put up great numbers. David Wright, Adrian Beltre, Robinson Cano, Justin Verlander and Joey Votto all have solid foundations to their careers, but will have to put together some productive seasons to have any chance of enshrinement. Two very young guys I’d put money on are Felix Hernandez and Clayton Kershaw. Each of them is probably the best pitchers in their respective divisions and already have Cy Young Awards under their belts. Who else do you think has a chance of enshrinement some day? Andrew McCutcheon? Adrian Gonzalez? Mike Trout? Send me your suggestions. I’d love to hear them. Stefan Gestwicki is the sports editor of the Chautauqua Star.

Fredonia fell to Cleveland Hill, 22-13 in the Class C championship game. It was the only loss of the season for the Hillbillies, who were undone by turnovers and penalties. Matt McCarthy ran for 104 yards on 19 carries and Weston Ley was 9 of 13 for 112 yards through the air, but it wasn’t enough to bring a sectional title back to Fredonia.

Self-Proclaimed Expert Picks: Week 11 geance with his 30 carries against the Raiders. PICK VS. SPREAD: Packers (+6). STRAIGHT PICK: Packers.
By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS (6-3) at NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (7-2)
Last week vs. spread: 8-6 Season vs. spread: 15-12 (.555) Last week straight: 5-9 Season straight: 13-14 (.481) Raise your hand if you had the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Jacksonville Jaguars and St. Louis Rams all winning this past week. Yeah, me neither as evidenced by an embarrassing 5-9 mark in last week’s games. I promise I’ll do better this week. I am a self-proclaimed expert after all. Week 11 bye weeks: Dallas Cowboys, St. Louis Rams.
INDIANAPOLIS COLTS (6-3) at TENNESSEE TITANS (4-5)
My first instinct here was to side with the Colts because they’re coming off that embarrassing home loss to the horrible Rams and have to be looking to redeem themselves. But then I remembered the Titans just fell victim to the previously winless Jaguars. Both teams will have a lot to prove in this one. But considering Ryan Fitzpatrick is likely to line up under center for the Titans, I’ll go against conventional wisdom that says to take the home team on the short-week Thursday games. I mean, Ryan Fitzpatrick folks. The Colts defense isn’t that bad either. An early punt return touchdown and fumble return for a touchdown set Indianapolis up in horrendous shape for the rest of the game. Andrew Luck was forcing passes because he had to. That most likely won’t happen in Tennessee. PICK VS. SPREAD: Colts (-3). STRAIGHT PICK: Colts.

PHILADELPHIA EAGLES (5-5)
A classic battle of the unstoppable force against the immovable object, the 49ers will have their hands full trying to slow down Drew Brees and the Saints. If the Saints truly found a running game and it wasn’t just a product of facing the Dallas ‘defense’ then the Saints may truly be unstoppable. The 49ers held Cam Newton and the Panthers to just 10 points last week, but it wasn’t enough to get the win as yet another team realized that yes, the Panthers defense is for real. This is another West Coast team coming East, but the game isn’t until 4:25 EST, so it’s not as big of a deal as a 1:00 kickoff. The Saints are a robust 5-0 at home and while this will be their biggest test thus far, I think they’ll be up for it in their own building. PICK VS. SPREAD: Saints (-3). STRAIGHT PICK: Saints.
MINNESOTA VIKINGS (2-7) at SEATTLE SEAHAWKS (9-1)
Every Seattle fan and every player in the Seahawks locker room knows that they are lucky to be 9-1. They’ve squeaked by some pretty lousy teams and now get a cushy home matchup with Adrian Peterson and the Vikings. Peterson is having another solid year with nearly 800 yards and nine touchdowns, but you can bet he’ll be seeing plenty of stacked boxes against the stout Seattle defense. The Seahawks will be without cornerback Brandon Browner, but against the meager Minnesota passing attack they shouldn’t have a problem adjusting. The battered Seahawks offensive line better find a way to slow down Jared Allen, however, or he’s going to hogtie Russell Wilson an awful lot. Allen is still one of the most dominating defensive players in the league. PICK VS. SPREAD: Vikings (+13). STRAIGHT PICK: Seahawks.
KANSAS CITY CHIEFS (9-0) at DENVER BRONCOS (8-1)
Those old Dolphins players will have their champagne on ice for this one. Bumped to primetime, this is the game people have been waiting weeks for. It’s unfortunate, however, that the Chiefs have been straight horrible the last few weeks and are lucky they’ve played teams like the Bills that posed no real threat to their perfect record. The Broncos are a different animal altogether, no pun intended. Yes, the Chiefs defense is good. They’re real good. And if the Broncos can’t protect Peyton Manning the Chiefs could force him into mistakes. That’s what Kansas City does, capitalize on mistakes. Of course, KC hasn’t played a team that can run out Demaryius Thomas, Julius Thomas, Wes Welker and Eric Decker as targets for one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. Getting this first matchup at home was great for Denver. Nobody wants to go take on the Chiefs in Arrowhead, let alone in a primetime matchup. I think everyone just expects Denver to win this game, but can you imagine the power shift if the Chiefs come out on top? PICK VS. SPREAD: Chiefs (+8). STRAIGHT PICK: Broncos.
NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS (7-2) at CAROLINA PANTHERS (6-3)
Hurray for an exciting Monday Night Football game! Prior to last week’s bye, the Patriots hung 55 points on the Steelers. Last week, the Panthers went into San Francisco and beat the mighty 49ers. Yes, both teams certainly have weaknesses, but it’s not out of the realm of possibility that this could be a Super Bowl preview. I still say the Panthers need to let Cam Newton be Cam Newton a little more. His biggest strength is his ability to run and improvise. They need to stop trying to force him into being a pocket passer (though he’s pretty good at that too, come to find out). Aaron Dobson has emerged as a viable target for Tom Brady in an offense that lacks dependable hands. Rob Gronkowski’s return has certainly helped and he’s looking healthier each week. The biggest difference between these two teams is on defense. The Patriots are banged up badly, missing a pair of Pro Bowlers. The Panthers meanwhile are young, talented and hungry. Once Tom Brady starts getting knocked around a little bit he’s a different quarterback. Expect that to happen in this one. PICK VS. SPREAD: Panthers (-3). STRIAGHT PICK: Panthers.

Bills look to right ship against rival Jets By Noey Kupchan AP Sports Writer
The surprising New York Jets have tied an NFL record by alternating wins and losses through their first nine games. Facing the struggling Buffalo Bills could help them finally make it two in a row. Looking to continue their quest for a playoff spot, the visiting Jets go for an eighth victory in nine matchups against the Bills on Sunday. Projected by many to finish near the bottom of the AFC, New York (5-4) has instead managed to hold its own. After watching several contending teams lose last weekend, the Jets come out of their bye with a onegame lead for the second wild-card spot. "I think we have a great opportunity in front of us and that's where the excitement lies because we know that as a team, our best football is ahead of us," said rookie Geno Smith, whose 13 interceptions are tied for third-most in the league. "We have been inconsistent and we've shown flashes of being a good team, but we've also had moments where we haven't looked so good. We know that as long as we clean up our mistakes and we handle the things
that we can control, we'll have an opportunity." The Jets followed a 30-27 overtime win over Eastleading New England with a 49-9 loss at Cincinnati in Week 8, but they got back on track Nov. 3 by beating NFC South-leading New Orleans 26-20. Chris Ivory ran for a season-high 139 yards and a touchdown against his former team as New York outgained the Saints 198-41 on the ground. The Jets intercepted Drew Brees twice and made it through the game without a turnover, improving to 5-2 when committing two or fewer. "We embrace the challenges," tight end Konrad Reuland said. "We truly believe we can beat any team we line up against." The Jets have to be feeling good about posting backto-back wins given their recent domination of the Bills (3-7). New York, which won 27-20 on Sept. 22 behind Smith's season-high 331 passing yards and three total TDs, have averaged 29.3 points in taking seven of eight from Buffalo. Coach Rex Ryan, though, knows it would be foolish to take the Bills lightly. "Nobody's thinking about, 'Hey, let's run seven in a
row off,'" Ryan said. "The only way to get there is to handle your business, and that's what we have to do." Buffalo has dropped three straight and five of six, losing 23-10 at Pittsburgh last Sunday. Rookie EJ Manuel returned from a sprained right knee and went 22 of 39 for 155 yards with a touchdown and an interception as the Bills were held to a season-low 227 yards of total offense. "The kid missed four weeks and just came back. He's trying his best," coach Doug Marrone said. "He's going through his footwork too quick and not (slowing) down to see things develop as quick. That happens to young quarterbacks. "Do we expect him to play better than he did last game? Absolutely. Will he play better? Yes. Yes he will." Manuel could be in for another long day with two of his favorite targets uncertain to be available. Stevie Johnson, leading the team with 41 receptions and 471 receiving yards, is dealing with a groin injury, and rookie wideout Robert Woods is likely to miss a second consecutive game with a sprained left ankle. The Jets could have veteran Santonio Holmes (hamstring) available for the first time since Week 4. Holmes
had five catches for 154 yards and a TD in September's meeting, and he's scored in four of his last five games against the Bills. New York is getting tight end Kellen Winslow back after he served a four-game suspension for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances. Winslow is tied for the team lead with two touchdown catches. The Jets will also be looking for big things from wideout David Nelson with Jeremy Kerley (elbow) unlikely to play. Nelson, whose three-year career in Buffalo came to an end after the Bills decided not to tender him a contract as a restricted free agent this offseason, is looking forward to Sunday. "Anybody who tells you when they play an old team or a team that cut them, that it's just another game, is lying to you," said Nelson, who signed Oct. 2. "This is defi nitely more than just another game for me. It's going to be an emotional game. It's going to be a fun game. This game holds a little more in my heart than most others." Nelson posted 80-yard efforts against the Patriots and Bengals before catching one pass for 19 yards versus the Saints.

Pegula stressed that the problems went beyond the performance of Regier, who had become the subject of ''Fire Darcy'' chants in Buffalo. ''He didn't do what he did by himself,'' Pegula said. ''There was input from many people, prior owners, myself. Why now? I just decided and that's the only answer I can give you. We work together and sometimes you get to the point where a change was needed.'' The Sabres organization has plenty of familiarity with Nolan and LaFontaine. Nolan was the Sabres coach from 1995-97,

winning the Jack Adams Award in 1997 as the NHL's top coach. Nolan also coached the New York Islanders from 2006-08. His current job is coach of the Latvian men's national team, a role he'll continue into the 2014 Winter
Olympics in Sochi, Russia. LaFontaine starred for the Sabres from 1991-97 and was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2003. He started a job as senior executive for the NHL last month. ''Our job is top to bottom
to bring a championship caliber team year to year,'' said LaFontaine, who is looking to fi ll the vacant general manager's position. LaFontaine's move into the front office follows contemporaries such as Joe Sakic, who was hired as executive vice president of hockey operations in Colorado in May, and Tampa Bay general manager Steve Yzerman. LaFontaine lacks much front office experience, lasting only six weeks as senior adviser to Islanders owner Charles Wang in 2006. Nolan will conduct his first Sabres practice in 16 years this afternoon. Buffalo's next game is Friday at the First Niagara Center against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

10 Reasons to Visit Chautauqua County this winter Contributed Article Chautauqua County Visitor’s Bureau
Chautauqua County in western New York sits directly in the path of lake effect snowstorms that gather strength over Lake Erie and drop more than 200 inches of snow annually. More often than not, the holidays are welcomed with a carpet of white and the winter season becomes a frozen crystal wonderland. This pocket of precipitation is precisely why winter is a perfect time to plan a visit. With annual snowfall that rivals Colorado ski towns, western New York offers plenty of opportunity for downhill snow sports. Near Findley Lake, the Peek’n Peak Resort and Spa provides an excellent backdrop for true beginners all the way to expert level skiers and snowboarders with 27 slopes, eight chairlifts, three progression terrain parks and a

half pipe. There is a tubing area and trails for cross-country skiing. The instructors at Peek’n Peak’s Snow Sports School are professionally trained and the lodges, dining rooms, pool and spa are welcome amenities after a day on
the slopes. Chautauqua's numerous trails and open spaces provide access for cross country skiing and snow shoeing. Long Point State Park, Lake Erie State Park, Chautauqua
Institution, and the Jamestown Audubon Center offer picturesque landscapes, trails, and potential for wildlife viewing. A local retailer, Evergreen Outfitters, schedules regular guided snowshoe hikes, including one during the full moon. More than 400 miles of trails groomed by five local snowmobile clubs provide an ideal setting for sledding over old railroad beds, former trolley lines, open farm fields, heavily wooded areas, and seasonal roads. Trails officially open a week or so before Christmas, weather permitting. New York requires that all sleds be registered and advanced preparation is recommended. Information on how to register and where to find trail conditions is available at http://www.tourchautauqua.com/ snowmobiling.aspx. Continued on pg. 4
