Locally owned and operated businesses based in Chautauqua County are preparing for what they hope will be an increase in sales this holiday season. “Small Business Saturday,” set to be observed this year on November 30, is aimed at assisting the owners of smaller independently owned shops throughout the region attract more customers. American Express began their Small Business Saturday campaign in 2010, encouraging consumers to “shop small” the day after Black Friday. In the three years since, the Small Business Administration, local municipal governments, corporations and community groups have joined the effort, all hoping to give locally owned and operated businesses a larger share of sales
during what traditionally is one of the busiest shopping weekends of the year. American Express estimated consumers spent about $5.5 billion at local stores last year on Small Business Saturday, which calculates to about one-tenth of the $59.1 billion the National Retail Federation says shoppers spent over the course of that weekend. Based on consumer survey research commissioned by American Express, for every $100 spent in independently owned stores, approximately $68 is returned to the community through taxes, payroll and other expenditures. In comparison, for every $100 spent in a national chain store, only $43 is returned to the community, while all online shopping results in no money being returned to the community. By shopping small and spending your money locally, independent-

ly owned and operated businesses in Chautauqua County and the surrounding communities can help contribute to the ongoing effort nationwide to support small businesses as consumers recognize that these entrepreneurs really are the heart and soul of our country’s economy. Small Business Saturday represents a particularly important opportunity for smaller retailers, some of whom are fearing a par-
ticularly tough holiday shopping season. The National Federation of Independent Business recently reported that its small business optimism index has fallen to its lowest level since March. An earlier survey by one small business directory showed that only 13 percent of owners believe holiday sales will increase this year when compared to what they did in
WRITERS AROUND THE WORLD PUT PEN TO PAPER FOR NOVEL WRITING MONTH Contributing Writer
Every November, writers from all over the world join together to celebrate ‘National Novel Writing Month.’ Although the title may imply that only people from the United States participate, the project accepts entries from all over the globe. Also known as ‘NaNoWriMo,’ National Novel Writing Month is a writing project that takes place from November 1 until November 30. Encouraging anyone and everyone to start their own creative writing assignment, the goal is to have at least 50,000 words completed in a novel.
“I, like so many others, have found some amazing things happen when you just keep throwing words onto the page.” - Melissa Hamilton, SUNY Fredonia graduate and nine year NaNoWriMo participant.
Contributing from places such as Africa, England, Australia, Denmark, and of course The United States and Canada, ‘Wrimos,’ with the help of forums on the website, www. nanowrimo.org, can meet up with fellow writers in their areas for what is referred to as a ‘write-in.’ The novel can either be a complete finished story containing a minimum of 50,000 words, or it can be an incomplete novel of the same word count, to be finished at a later time. The minimum number of words may not be very high, but it is in fact high enough to distinguish a novel from a novella, which only contains 40,000 words. Founded fi fteen years ago in 1999, in the San Francisco area by freelance writer Chris Baty, the event had a mere 21 people involved. With a quick rise to popularity, two years later there were 200,000 writers of all ages and experience joining in, and last year’s 2012 season had 341,375 participants. This year, half a million writers are expected to register. Much of the popularity can be attributed to social media and those in the blogging comNational Novel Writing Month takes place every November, with registration this year expected to surpass 500,000.

COMMENTARY
The death knell of customer service By Scott Wise Editor
I may not have grown up in a time when we had to walk five miles to school, uphill both ways in the snow. I may not have had to get up and change the channel (but… we did have wired game system controllers). But I can say this about my growing up- my parents taught me how to treat other people. This is something that was instilled in me from a young age, not even by having to be told to do it, but simply by watching their actions. The way they treated the doctor, the bartender or the cleaning person was always the same. We were no better than anyone else, and that showed. No matter where we went, my dad would make sure that whomever we interacted with had a smile on their face (usually by cracking some cheesy joke… which he still does… and yes, Dad, I know you’ll read this). It was a Tuesday when I turned 16. By the end of the day, I had my learner’s permit and my fivehour course and road test already scheduled. Growing up in the CONTINUED ON PG 3

Pets of the Week
This week we are featuring “Rocket” and “King.” Rocket is a super sweet six-month-old kitty that was found living on the streets. He is really playful, but after the fun he likes to cuddle and purr away. King is a three-year-old Chow-Chow mix. He is very nice, loves to go for walks and is okay with most dogs. He likes to get some attention, but he does not need to be entertained all the time. He will let you know if someone is at your door. If you have a place in your heart and your home for either of these two pets, or any of the other pets at the Strunk Road Adoption Center, please stop by and meet them. They are hoping to have their own forever home for the holidays! For more information on any of the available pets at the Chautauqua County Humane Society, please visit our website at www. spcapets.com or call (716) 665-2209.

in retail. He can’t get off of work for the holidays, except for Christmas day, because it’s a ‘blackout period’ where employees must work. He stated that the company doesn’t appreciate him and he will likely be quitting and finding a new job after the holidays. This attitude, this ‘the company owes me’ way of thinking has the potential to destroy us. We cannot live life thinking that everyone we encounter is a lucky person because they met us today. When I go into a business, even the small local businesses that this county thrives on, I find that I’m shocked when I receive good customer service. When I encounter bad service, I endeavor to go out of my way to make that person’s day better.

RELIGION SECTION Keeping the Faith
Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church Fredonia fcfredonia.org
Dear Pastor, what does “walking in love” mean? Last week we looked at this topic by examining why we need to walk in love. We saw that it is included in the only commandment that Jesus gave us, that “… we love one another as I have loved you” ( John 15:12). We also saw that God considers love to be the greatest characteristic in our Christian identity to ourselves and to the world (1 Corinthians 13:13). This week I want to begin our examination of the best directives about love in God’s Word, 1 Corinthian 13. Let’s begin with verse 13:4…”Love
suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up.” This verse begins with the often misunderstood phrase “love suffers long.” Just recently, someone asked me about this particular phrase. They believed that this means God wants us to suffer for a long time in sickness, death, and (I suppose) love and marriage! While this could have been viewed as a set up for a marriage joke…I believe that the individual was sincere and just confused by the language of their Bible translation. The word “suffer” isn’t about being in actual pain (as in physical pain) but about maintaining a patient, enduring,
tolerant attitude towards another person. So how does this apply to our life? Let’s use an example based on a common issue found within a close friendship or family… that of dealing with someone you find annoying. While you believe that they have a good heart, their particular behaviors really “get to you.” So how should you handle this? Walking in love God’s way, requires you to put up with the bad things and turn your annoyance into an opportunity to bless them in kindness and caring. We can see this demonstrated in the Book of Matthew 19:13-15. In these scriptures Jesus was sur-
rounded by crowds of attentionseeking people, including small children. The Apostles were shooing them away, trying to protect Jesus from the rambunctious little ones. Jesus, however, said to His Apostles, “Suffer the little children to come unto Me.” Basically, Jesus was telling His Apostles that they should tolerate the children’s activities so that they could come and be blessed by Him. Jesus also told His Apostles that the children (and their enthusiasm) were an important part of the kingdom of heaven! Next week…more on the “Love Chapter”
The Weekly Word
Rev. Tim Stahlman Family Church Jamestown fcjamestown.org
Power From on High Many Christians today have an incomplete view of why Jesus Christ was sent to Earth. If you ask that question to the average believer they would say that Jesus came to shed His blood on the cross so we could receive the forgiveness and remission of our sins. And when they say that they are absolutely correct. The greatest mission that Jesus completed was to wash us free of our sin. But that was not His only mission. John the Baptist was informed about the mission of Christ. John was the one who was to prepare the way of the Lord and to be the voice of one calling in the wilderness. John was the forerunner of Christ. Look at what John said in
Matthew 3:11, “I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance but He that will come after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to carry; He shall baptize you with the HOLY SPIRIT AND WITH FIRE.” We know that it was Jesus Christ who came after John. Ask yourself these questions: Does God want people to repent of their sins? The answer is yes He does. Is that all He wants for people? No it is not. If all God wanted was repentance then why did God have to send Jesus? John the Baptist was getting people to repent. If all God wanted people to do is repent then He could have stopped with John. Obviously God has something more in mind for us. He wants us to be baptized in the Holy Spirit.
To say that Jesus’ only mission was to free us from our sin would be to say that John the Baptist said something about Jesus that wasn’t true. No, Jesus had something more for His people. Jesus’ mission was to deliver us from our sin AND get us baptized in the Holy Spirit. That is a more complete statement of what Jesus came to do. Unfortunately, many Christians are completely unaware of this Biblical experience. John the Baptist’s ministry was that of repentance. Remember: John’s ministry was to prepare the way, not take the place of, the ministry of Jesus. So you could say that repentance prepares the way for the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Notice that repentance is something different from the baptism
of the Holy Spirit; just like John was different from Jesus. John and Jesus represent two different experiences. Repentance is not the same as the baptism of the Holy Spirit. To say we only need repentance is equivalent of saying we only need John the Baptist and can do without Jesus. No, we need Jesus. We need Him and everything He offers! There are many different ideas about the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Over the next several weeks, I will examine many scriptures in great detail so we can understand this vital element of the believer’s life. Obviously, I cannot tackle such a great undertaking in this single column. Join me next week for the continuance.

only negative can be found. To truly embrace this meaning of Thanksgiving, for only a couple of hours on a November Thursday, differences between family members should be put aside so a family can sincerely give thanks for the holiday, together. Convincing those involved in the family feud or dysfunction to put aside their arguments may not be very easy. By appealing to an individual’s sense of honor and asking them to be the better person may be just enough push to get the family together under one roof. Doing it for the children, great grandma or Uncle Jack who traveled all the way from California may also be convincing. Having the family all together could be a gift to give another member of the family like a parent or grandparent, if not for yourself. Whatever the reason for getting the family back together, be genuine in your suggestion and don’t make this difficult request of family members while having your own hidden agenda. Family will know if a request for
forgiveness is fake or not. Once the involved family members agree not to disagree for the day, how does a hostess ensure that the guests don’t go to blows over Thanksgiving dinner? She may want to have assigned seating for dinner so the family rivals aren’t seated beside or across the table from each other. Alternative room eating arrangements are another option.

Play video games and karaoke in the basement, have cards and board games on the porch and set up air hockey or foosball out in the garage while having the football game on in the family room. Establishing rules of engagement for all parties involved also helps to communicate the expectation regarding behavior and the consequences for inappropriate behavior, so in the end, there are no surprises to anyone.
While it’s just a dinner on a Thursday in November, Thanksgiving is a celebration that is intended for families to remember their loved ones as well as count their blessings. This one special meal should be spent with the special people in our lives, even the ones we don’t care for. And remember it’s the dysfunction that keeps our families so fun and entertaining.

NANOWRIMO, CONTINUED FROM PG 1 munity who are taking on the writing challenge. This challenge is open to anyone and everyone willing to take a stab at novel writing, regardless of their skill level. “NaNoWriMo is an unbeatable way to write the first draft of a novel because it’s such a powerful antidote to that horrible foe of creativity: self-doubt,” said Faulkner, “NaNoWriMo is a rollicking conversation about all aspects of writing, and an invitation to dare to do what seems impossible. As many NaNoWriMo writers have discovered, the best way to learn to write a novel is by simply plunging in to write a novel.”
Current executive director, Grant Faulkner, has published several works, and is the founder and editor of lit journal, ‘100 Word Story.’ Also on the NaNoWriMo team are authors to encourage writers during the month. Authors who will be offering words of wisdom to budding novelists this year are James Patterson, Marie Lu, Lev Grossman, Rainbow Rowell, Patrick Rothfuss, Catherynne M. Valente, Bella Andre, Malinda Lo, Holly McGhee, Ralph Peters, and Jeff VanderMeer. “I don’t think I’ve ever found a more supportive, fun group of people,”
said Melissa Hamilton, ”There’s a gleeful embrace of the absurd, running jokes, creativity, and kindness, in every arena of the event. I’ve spent time on the website’s forums, done a few in-person write-ins, and have been active on Twitter this year, and I haven’t met a mean or nay-saying person yet, which is pretty amazing on the internet.” Hamilton, a graduate of SUNY Fredonia, has participated in NaNoWriMo for the past nine years. A glance at NaNoWriMo’s website, or twitter page would prove this statement to be true. Unlike the bashing and criticizing
that most have grown accustomed to on the internet, all the pages affi liated with NaNoWriMo are fi lled with encouragement and pep talks for aspiring novelists. As founder Baty stated, “There’s a book in you that only you can write.” Without this program, the world would never have seen some of the books we have today. There have been 250 novels traditionally published by publishing houses such as Scholastic, Penguin Publishing, HarperCollins, and Random House, and many have been selfpublished, printed in the author’s native language,
or printed at a smaller press. Included in the 250 novels, are Erin Morgenstern’s The Night Circus, Sara Gruen’s Water for Elephants, Hugh Howey’s Wool, Jason Hough’s The Darwin Elevator, Marissa Meyer’s Cinder, and Rainbow Rowell’s Fangirl. “I, like so many others, have found some amazing things happen when you just keep throwing words onto the page,” said Hamilton, “characters do things you don’t expect, and some rather pretty things turn up. Everyone has something unique to contribute, and there’s a little empty place in the
world until it’s out there.” NaNoWriMo also heads up a Young Writers Program, which in this year will supply 80,000 students and educators in 2,000 classrooms with a curriculum and resources worldwide. For budding novelists, and aspiring authors, NaNoWriMo is the way to turn. Sometimes all an author needs is a deadline and some support to get them going. Registration is free, and is open to people of all ages and job descriptions. For more information, check out www.nanowrimo.org

SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY, CONTINUED FROM PG 1 2012, with 43 percent of those surveyed saying they expect to see a decline. While it is tough to say why there may be a decline, some point to the federal government’s shutdown earlier this year as one reason why consumers may be less likely to spend at least as much as they did last year. Even though the government has reopened, economic uncertainty was created across the country
and that impacted consumer confidence that directly impacting retailers of all sizes, especially the small “mom and pop” businesses. Most of the entrepreneurs and families who run small businesses offer what the chains and e-commerce companies are unable to provide, specifically one-ofa-kind gifts and top-notch customer service. Shopping at a small business for many means making
an honest effort to support your neighborhood and the people who live in your community as opposed to spending money that benefits big corporations based someplace else and run by people you most likely will never even meet. Also facing local merchants is an unusually short holiday shopping season this year, as there are less than four weeks between Thanksgiving and Christ-
mas in 2013. Despite that smaller than usual window of time to purchase all of the gifts on the wish lists of your family members, friends and co-workers, local merchants believe it is easy to reduce the stress of the holiday shopping season by avoiding long lines, marathon hours and bargains at big-box stores as much as possible by visiting locally owned and operated boutiques and

MAPLE PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE By Katy Wise Contributing Writer
Although we have already looked at one pumpkin recipe for the season, I am a believer that one can never have enough of this festive fall flavor. This would be the reason that I am sharing yet another delightful pumpkin recipe this week. I discovered this recipe shortly after my husband and I got married, and my first time making it was our first Thanksgiving together as husband and wife. Since that first year, it has become a tradition for me to make this maple pumpkin cheesecake every Thanksgiving, and this will be my fi fth year of the tradition, although I have often made it as many as two or three times per season. This cheesecake and I have had our ups and downs. The first year I mentioned, the cheesecake turned out marvelous, regardless of the fact that I didn’t make it in a proper spring-form pan. The second year did not go smoothly, and that is somewhat of an understatement. Five days away from my due date, I was very, very pregnant with our first son. I am admittedly a stubborn perfectionist, and although my husband advised me not to overdo it, or mess with our tried and true recipe, I tried to use the ‘water bath’ technique. Which of course, I had never done before, and something went very wrong. The cheesecake took about three times as long as it should have to cook, and came out far less than perfect. I cried just like the typical pregnant mommy is expected to. My husband tried to console my raging hormones, and then bought me a spring-form pan for Christmas in hopes that this would never happen again. Thankfully it hasn’t happened since he bought me my beloved red pan, and I hope that my story can help save someone else from the drama of pregnant baking woes. Maple Pumpkin Cheesecake Preheat oven to 325 degrees farenheit. Ingredients: 1 ½ C. Finely crushed graham crackers, or gingerbread crumbs 1/3 C. Granulated Sugar 1/3 C. Butter, melted 3 8 oz. packages of cream cheese, softened 1 C. Canned pumpkin 2/3 C. Brown sugar, packed ¼ C. Pure maple syrup, maple flavored syrup will
also work 1 ½ Tsp. Vanilla extract 3 Eggs, slightly beaten In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter. For those with limited time, you can also purchase a box of graham cracker crumbs, which is significantly easier than crushing the crackers yourself. Using an ungreased nineinch, spring-form pan, press the graham crackers into the bottom of the pan. Depending on how you like your cheesecake, you can make this recipe with a very think bottom crust, or with a thinner crust that partially covers the sides of the pan. Either will bake just fine. Bake the crust for eight minutes, then remove from pan to cool. Be sure to let the pan cool completely before fi lling, otherwise you will have a very sloppy mess Beat the cream cheese in an extra large mixing bowl on medium to high speed until smooth. Mix in everything but the eggs. Once well blended, fold the eggs into the cream cheese mixture. Pour fi lling into crust. Place springform pan into a shallow baking pan (I have used a cookie sheet), and bake for 60 to 70 minutes. Cool in pan, on a cooling rack for about 20 minutes. With a butter knife, loosen the crust from the pan’s edges. Leave pan on cooling rack and allow to cool for 30 minutes longer before removing the sides of pan. Cover and chill for at least four hours before serving, or overnight for the best results. If desired, top with caramel sauce or maple syrup. Included is a recipe for the caramel sauce that I use as a topping, although store bought would also work. Caramel Drizzle Sauce ½ C. Heavy Whipping cream 1 Stick, butter ¾ C. Dark brown sugar, packed 1 tsp. Vanilla extract Using a medium sized saucepan, stir together all ingredients except the vanilla. While whisking, heat on medium – high heat until mixture starts to boil. Reduce heat to medium. Gently boil for 3 minutes longer, then remove from heat, and add vanilla. Transfer to a lidded container that will be easy to pour from, and cool for 15 minutes. Mason jars work great for this sauce. Allow to stand at room temp for about one hour before use. Will keep in the refrigerator for two weeks.

Audubon Animals Receive Gifts for Russell 6th Grader’s Birthday Contributed Article Audubon Center and Sanctuary
If you care about something, you want to help take care of it. At least, that would seem to be the lesson we can learn from a Russell (Pennsylvania) Elementary School sixth grader and her 12th birthday party. Wanting her daughter to understand that it is important to give back to her community, Michelle Wonderling asked her daughter, Madison Green, to choose an organization to receive donations from her classmates at what would be her last birthday party in elementary school. With intentions to be a veterinarian, Madi loves animals and is a frequent visitor to the Audubon Center & Sanctuary. While there, she and her younger brother, Mason, look for turtles, fish and frogs on the scavenger hunts their mother creates for them. Before her big party, she even took three friends to Audubon for a scavenger hunt. So Madi’s decision of “giving back” for her birthday was easy: she would ask those coming to her party to bring gifts for Audubon’s education animals, the collection of live fish, reptiles and amphibians as well as Liberty, Audubon’s non-releasable bald eagle, that visitors learn from and enjoy. Madi’s entire class was invited to her party at the Russel Roller Rink, and they brought many presents. In addition to paper towels, bird seed, bleach, vinegar, fish food, turtle food, and more, Madi also received $50 for the care of the animals. When asked about her choice, Madi said, “I like Audubon. I like to go there and see all the animals you don’t get to see all the time. And I like to walk the trails.” Audubon President Ruth Lundin, who gratefully accepted Madi’s gifts, said, “Madi is a real inspiration to all of us! It is wonderfully
encouraging to our staff and volunteers to have a young person who feels so rewarded by Audubon that she wants to give back in such a special way.” Folks who would like to provide for Audubon’s live animals can “adopt” one, directly supporting its care by helping buy food and other needed supplies. Adoptions also help Audubon fulfi ll its mission of connecting people to nature, since these animals are Audubon Ambassadors in programs and school visits. Animal adoptions can be given as gifts for birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, achievements, or any occasion. Adoption packages are available for a donation of $20 and include a personalized adoption certificate, animal biography and factsheet, 4×6 photo of the adopted animal, and Audubon’s email newsletter. These donations can be made in honor of Madi Green or another person or for the animal the donor loves most at Audubon. Details are at the “Adopt an Animal” link under the “Get Involved” tab at http:// jamestownaudubon.org. The Audubon Center & Sanctuary is at 1600 Riverside Road, one-quarter mile east of Route 62 between Jamestown, New York, and Warren, Pennsylvania. Winter hours for the Nature Center and Blue Heron Gift Shop are 10 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Monday and Saturday, and 1-4:30 p.m. Sunday. Building admission is free to children and member adults. Non-member adults pay only $6. Sundays are free admission days. From dawn until dusk daily there is no charge to observe Liberty, Audubon’s resident bald eagle, in her outdoor habitat or to walk, snowshoe or cross-country ski the more than five miles of beautifully maintained trails.

repeated at 1 p.m. The 45-minute workshop where you can make homemade paper, perfect for cards and gift tags, is offered at 11 a.m. and noon. At 1:00 or 2 p.m., you can learn the basics of making a felted jingle bell for your cat (they LOVE them), a felted ornament for your tree, or felted soaps for your bathroom – and they all make great gifts, too. At the 2 p.m. Fairy Creatures workshop, you can make something memorable from those natural materials you can’t help collecting whether you’re at home or away, like a jar of sand, a pocketful of seashells, or a handful of rocks. With instructors who are all Audubon naturalists or local artisans, the workshops are suitable for ages nine and up. This is a great way to spend time with family and friends as the holiday rush begins. Cost for the 1.5-hour workshops is $16 or $12 for Friends of the Nature Center; for the 45-minute
workshops, it is $8 and $6 for Friends of the Nature Center Space is limited.

Jefferson Middle School 7th grade students in Lori Nystrom’s class recently received treats for having the best average attendance for the month of September of 96 percent through the school-wide attendance incentive program. The program’s motto is “Be Here Today, Be There Tomorrow.” Each month, the homeroom with the best attendance receives treats from the Jefferson PTA and a visit from Principal Carm Proctor. All students who have perfect attendance each month receive small incentives such as attendance logo pencils, bracelets, lanyards and free homework passes from Jefferson teachers and PTA. In September, all perfect attendance students received tickets to the JHS Red Raider football game donated by the JPS Athletic Department.

The tours cost $15 for potential Fenton History Center members, $10 for members and $5 for children. “This is another way to learn the reasons why we celebrate the holiday season the way we do,” says Sara Reale, Education Coordinator and Exhibit designer. The exhibit features many American Christmas traditions, local ethnic traditions, Victorian era festivities and the seasonal celebrations of Chanu-
kah and Los Posadas or Three Kings. “The Fenton History Center education department offers classroom tours of the Mansion exhibit throughout the month of December. We know teachers are under pressure to cover the Common Core curriculum so we have designed a tour of the holiday exhibit that meets the needs of the elementary grades which we can bring to the classroom if they cannot come to the Fenton Mansion,” says Reale.

NHl Blocks sabres’ Big to send Grigorenko to aHl By Stefan Gestwicki
The Buffalo Bills have signed offensive tackle J.J. Unga off the Baltimore Ravens' practice squad. The move Wednesday was made with the Bills (4-7) entering their bye weekend off. At 6-foot-5 and 320 pounds, Unga was first signed by the Ravens as an undrafted rookie free agent out of Midwestern State, where he earned first-team Lone Star Conference honors last season. The Bills had an open roster spot after releasing third-year cornerback Justin Rogers on Tuesday. Buffalo is off until hosting the Atlanta Falcons on Dec. 1 in the Bills' annual ''home'' game at Toronto. The Bills have also released thirdyear cornerback Justin Rogers. The move was announced Tuesday with Buffalo (4-7) entering its bye weekend off. Rogers opened the season fi lling in for injured starter Stephon Gilmore, who missed the first five games with a broken hand. Rogers struggled in coverage and was burned for two deep touchdown passes in a 27-20 loss at the New York Jets on Sept. 22. The 2011 seventh-round draft pick out of Richmond was inactive for the past six games following Gilmore's return. The Bills also shuffled their practice squad. Buffalo signed defensive back Mario Butler and released defensive back Johnny Adams. Butler is a Georgia Tech product who has spent parts of the past two seasons on the Dallas Cowboys and Denver Broncos practice squads.
Star Sports Editor
The first time this season the Buffalo Bills met the New York Jets, the game was more reminiscent of a Pee Wee League game than a National Football League contest. So when the Bills and Jets played a scoreless, mistake-fi lled first quarter that included one of the worst missed field goals you’ll ever see a professional kicker attempt, you could forgive me for thinking “here we go again.” The Bills wasted a golden opportunity in that first quarter after the Jets punter hit an absolute stinker that set up the Buffalo offense around midfield (if I’m not mistaken). E.J. Manuel and Co. went out on the field and quicker than any team ever should, went three-and-out. Now to be fair, the weather was obviously going to be a factor in this game.

NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (8-2) TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS at ATLANTA FALCONS (2-8) (2-8) at DETROIT LIONS (6-4) When the Saints beat the Falcons way back in Week 1, it seemed like Atlanta would have some serious competition in the NFC South. What we didn’t know at the time was that Atlanta wouldn’t factor into the division race even a little bit. Even at 8-2, the Saints lead the surprising Carolina Panthers by just one game in the division. The winner of the NFC South will probably be the No. 2 seed and earn a first-round bye in the playoffs. Therefore every win is critical for the Saints, even against the banged-up Falcons. Thursday Night Football games are usually fairly low scoring, but the Saints don’t need a full week of prep to demolish this horrendous defense. On the other side of the ball, the Falcons offensive line is the biggest problem. It isn’t opening holes for Steven Jackson and it isn’t protecting Matt Ryan. Atlanta has no one who can stop Jimmy Graham. Expect a huge game from the tight end. PICK VS. SPREAD: Saints (-8). STRAIGHT PICK: Saints.
CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 2013
This is another game in which one team probably had this one marked as a ‘W’ on the schedule three weeks ago but now looks fairly tough. The Bucs have suddenly won two games in a row and are playing with confidence despite having a rookie quarterback and a running back that’s seemingly been employed by every NFL team during this season alone — Bobby Rainey. The story in this game is obvious: Megatron makes his visit to Revis Island. It’s the clear-cut best wide receiver in the game (perhaps the best football player in the NFL) against the best cornerback since Champ Bailey in his prime. It’s quite literally the only things that could ever make the Buccaneers watchable. I mean, Bobby Rainey is their running back. Bobby Rainey. PICK VS. SPREAD: Buccaneers (+10). STRAIGHT PICK: Lions.

DENVER BRONCOS (9-1) at NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS (7-3)
These are two teams that had as different of weeks as could be. The Broncos knocked off previously undefeated Kansas City and are back atop their division. The players and coaches said all the right things, but they had to be getting sick of questions about the Chiefs. The Patriots meanwhile have to be getting awfully tired of questions from the media regarding the non-call at the end of Panthers game on Monday night. The call was iffy one way or another, but the underlying fact is that New England straight up got outplayed by Carolina and deserved a loss. With the Chiefs having a relatively easy game against San Diego, Denver will have to beat the Pats in New England to keep pace. Likewise, the Patriots have thoughts about that No. 2 seed in the AFC and will need to likely win four or five more games to make that happen. Peyton Manning ankle proved to be a non-factor last week so it’ll probably be that again this week. Don’t look now, but Wisconsin product Monte Ball scored two touchdowns last week. He’s the career leader in collegiate touchdowns and would be a major boost to an already stacked offense if he can get going. The Patriots meanwhile are unpredictable because if a back fumbles, he’s benched. Every Manning-Brady matchup is fun and this one should be no different. PICK VS. SPREAD: Broncos (-3). STRAIGHT PICK: Broncos.
SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS (6-4) at WASHINGTON REDSKINS (3-7)
Really NFL? This is the Monday Night Football game you’re going to saddle us with. I realize you want to shove Colin Kaepernick and Bob Griffin III down our throats, but there’s only one problem with that: they’re both terrible. I’d probably rather get a root canal than watch this game. Yes it helps that I have no fantasy football stock riding on this game, but I also really don’t feel like watching terrible football. The 49ers defense is still good, that’s true, but they have no chance of beating teams like New Orleans and Seattle that have both good offenses and top defenses. Especially because now they’ll almost certainly have to go on the road in the playoffs against either of those teams. Heck, I’d take Carolina over San Francisco right now. That’s saying a lot considering preseason expectations. Oh and RGIII, man up. Santana Moss is right when he said to stop blaming other people. You’re the quarterback of that team. Take some responsibility for the horrid season you’re having. PICK VS. SPREAD: 49ers (-5). STRAIGHT PICK: 49ers.

CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 2013
FSU WOMEN’S BASKETBALL PREVIEW CONTINUED FROM PG 1 “I’ve been in this situation before,” MacDonald admitted. “You feel very fortunate when you go into a program and the players that are already there are good people. Obviously we have some very good players. I’m really excited about Becky and Jaimie. They’re the leaders on this team and they’re very accomplished players. The players that are here are quality people. They’re willing to work hard. They’re willing to listen. They’re really taking things in like a sponge. You an do a lot like that.” Both Hebert and Warren started every game for the Blue Devils last season. Hebert led the team with 18.0 points per game while Warren was second at 13.2. Warren led the team with 7.8 rebounds per game with Hebert pulling down nearly four per game. Warren dished out 2.3 assists per game with Hebert at 1.4. Both players were over 83 percent from the free throw line. Even with a pair of proven stud players, MacDonald hopes that depth can be one of this team’s strengths. “I hope we’ll have multiple weapons,” she said. “I think in the past the team has been built around Jaimie and Becky. I think we defi nitely have more weapons where we can distribute the ball and get
scoring from multiple players. That will take some of the pressure off of Jaimie and Becky for sure. “I’m still getting familiar with them, but I think we might be able to go eight or nine deep in the majority of games,” MacDonald continued. “I don’t know if you can look at a game and say ‘we can go nine deep.’ Some games dictate that you only need to go seven if the rotation is working well and there’s good chemistry on the floor. We do have the potential to go that deep if we need to, though.” MacDonald brings a bevy of coaching experience to Fredonia. She has coached at the high school, major college and even professional levels. She has held head coaching jobs in Division 1 women’s basketball at the University of Minnesota, the University at Buffalo and Temple University. In 1997 MacDonald became the fi rst coach in the history of the Cleveland Rockers of the WNBA. In the team’s second year of existence she led the Rockers to the Eastern Conference title. A more in-depth bio on MacDonald can be found at www. fredoniabluedevils.com. In each of her collegiate stops, Fredonia included, MacDonald has made education priority number one for her players.
“Academics is really the ultimate reason why the students are here,” she explained. “They’re here to get an education. It doesn’t matter what division it is. Basketball is the joy that you have alongside of your academics. So I hope they have fun playing basketball and I hope they achieve success playing basketball, but ultimately it’s the degree that has the high level of importance.” The Blue Devils are off to a promising start to the season with a 2-1 record in their fi rst three games. In the opening game of the Alleghany Tournament Hebert scored 24 points on sizzling 12-of-29 shooting. That included a last-second layup that gave Fredonia the lead and the win. After dropping an 89-68 decision to host Allegheny in the second game of the season, the Devils bounced back with a 78-70 win over Nazareth. Hebert scored another 25 points in the win, including a perfect 11-for-11 from the charity stripe. Warren added 22 points, eight rebounds and three assists. Sabrina Macaulay proved MacDonald’s beliefs on depth with 15 points and seven rebounds. The team will have its fi rst home game of the season this Saturday, Nov. 23 when it hosts Hilbert College at Steele Hall.

JCC WOMEN’S BASKETBALL PREVIEW CONTINUED FROM PG 1 “She had a very formidable freshman year,” Sisson said of Storer. “She brings ball handling skills and speed. She has a very good handle. She has great quickness. She gets us started by running the floor. Defensively she starts it all. She has the ability to put tremendous pressure on the other team’s ball handler. She’s always poised and ready to go. “Brook is a solid player inside,” Sisson continued. “She started every game for us last year. She was averaging about six rebounds and four points per game. She comes into this season a lot more confident in her ability to play more physical. That confidence will allow success. We’re looking for her to bring that leadership to the other forwards.” One of those forwards that will likely start next to Draggett is Dunkirk grad Lacey Clark. While with the Lady Marauders, Clark was a standout athlete in volleyball, basketball and softball. On the court she earned fi rst team all-star honors after averaging 15 points, 7.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game. “She’s probably going to be starting at the three (small forward),” Sisson added of Clark. “She’s making the transition from playing mostly inside in high school to playing on the perimeter. Combined with Elle Reed and Taylor Storer those three on the perimeter can make us very dangerous.” While Clark brings some much-needed toughness and tenacity, Reed comes from Sherman with a lethal scoring attitude. Reed was the CCAA Division 4 Most Valuable Player last season after
averaging 31.9 points per game while also grabbing 11.5 rebounds and nabbing 6.5 steals per game. She’s never seen a threepoint shot she couldn’t make, but can also be a playmaker by fi nding the open teammate. “She obviously brings the ability to shoot,” Sisson noted. “She also has better ball-handling skills than a lot of people know. Her best accolade is her competitiveness. Between her and Storer, I don’t know which one hates to lose more.” The fi fth starter is likely the only non-Chatuauqua County resident on the roster — forward Akiah Luceus. The The 5-foot7 freshman hails from New York City and Sisson hopes will form a stout duo with Draggett down low. With Storer and Draggett in the starting lineup, Sisson’s only other two returning players will be coming off the bench. Forward Amy Sands (Sherman) and guard Kaylee Sheldon (Panama) will not only provide depth, but also experience for Jamestown. “Both of those girls will be called on to play key minutes for us,” Sisson added. “Sheldon has good speed. She runs the floor very well. She plays defense very hard. She’ll get called on to be a defensive stopper for us. She also has a good mid-range jump shot. Sands is an undersized forward. She’s a rugged player who plays hard. She stays after it. She brings a lot of competitiveness.” A relatively small roster ensures that every player will be asked to fi ll a role at some point during the season. Corri Hannon (Falconer), Taylor Law (Silver Creek), Shawana Miller (Cassadaga Val-
ley) and Sydney Milliman (Chautauqua Lake) round out a very deep and talented JCC roster. “From last year’s team to this year’s team I think we’re more athletic,” Sisson elaborated. “I think we’ll be able to get more pressure defensively. I think that we have a better inside attack as far as scoring in the paint. Miller has shown early that she’s been a scorer off the bench. Milliman has been able to score off the jump shot. Law has seen limited minutes so far, but they’ve been quality minutes.” The Jayhawks began the season 5-0 before dropping a pair of games last weekend in the Columbus State Tournament against Edison Tech and Mott Community College. Four of the five wins to open the season were of the blowout variety, including a decisive 91-45 win over Butler Community College in Jamestown. “The very next game is always the most important one,” Sisson explained. “It’s not always the most important in terms of win or lose, but it’s the most important to see if we’ve gotten better from one game to the next. You want to show improvement from one day to the next. That’s the next test. You get to see if you’ve gotten better here or there.” The Jayhawks will be on the road until they return home for the annual Tom D’Angelo Memorial Tournament on Dec. 6 & 7. “We always look forward to our own Tom D’Angelo Tournament,” Sisson said. “We get tremendous support from the community. A lot of people like to watch that transition from high school to college ball.”

THE GRIGORENKO DILEMMA CONTINUED FROM PG 1 ''We thought we were doing it by the rulebook, but unfortunately we weren't,'' Nolan said. ''Now he's back with us. We'll have to sit down and evaluate what the next step is.'' Players remain on their NHL team's roster and are paid their full salary during conditioning stints, which last no more than 14 days. The question became whether the 19-year-old Grigorenko qualified for assignment. The ruling limits the Sabres' options in determining how to develop a player who has had difficulty earning regular ice time in Buffalo. Grigorenko has two goals and one assist in
15 games this season and had missed two straight games and five of seven as a healthy scratch before being assigned to AHL Rochester. The Sabres must now choose between keeping Grigorenko on their roster and returning him to his Canadian junior team in Quebec. Rather than preparing to play against Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton on Wednesday, Grigorenko practiced with the Sabres in Buffalo before the team traveled to Philadelphia for a game against the Flyers on Thursday. Nolan said he had not yet determined whether Grigorenko would play. The NHL's ruling was
the latest twist in what's become an unsettled professional career for the Russian-born player, who was selected by Buffalo with the No. 12 pick in the 2012 draft. Grigorenko is now playing for his third coach in Buffalo, after Nolan replaced Ron Rolston, who was fired last week. After opening last season playing in Quebec, Grigorenko earned a spot on the Sabres roster at the end of the NHL lockout. He had a goal and four assists in 22 games before the Sabres elected to return him to Quebec. Grigorenko then came back to Buffalo to play the final three games of the season and
two more for Rochester in the playoffs after Quebec's season ended. The Sabres would prefer Grigorenko develop in the AHL rather than the juniors. ''He's a real nice young man. He's just put in this predicament,'' Nolan said. ''Now we have to go back to the drawing board and see what else might work, and what the best situation is for him to develop his skill and be the dominant player we all think he could be in this organization.'' On Wednesday, the Sabres also recalled center Luke Adam and defenseman Brayden McNabb from Rochester.
COMMENTARY CONTINUED FROM PG 1 Oddly, I credit a field goal for really getting the Bills going. When Nick Folk’s early attempt was throw all over the place by the wind, I had doubts there would be a field goal attempted the rest of the game. But the Bills confidently sent out Dan Carpenter to try a 40-yarder in a scoreless game early in the second quarter. He knocked it through the uprights like he was kicking in a dome. The three points were nice, but it truly seemed to invigorate the team. Buffalo then scored 17 points in the final 4:05 of the first half and it started with a play that didn’t exactly go the way it was drawn up. Manuel hasn’t taken too many shots downfield in his rookie year despite scouting reports that laud his big arm. Well he took a shot down the left sideline to T.J. Graham. The throw looked laughably short, but for some reason both Jets defenders kept running like the ball was sailing into the end zone while Graham had the awareness to stop, catch the ball and walk into the end zone. It was an ugly play, a hideous play, but again it put points on the scoreboard and energized not just the team, but the crowd that had been falling asleep watching the borefest. A turnover and another quick touchdown, this one by legendary running back
worked out. The Bills enter their bye week with a huge amount of confidence and a relatively easy closing schedule. I hate to be one of those overly optimistic Bills fans, but with Jacksonville, Tampa Bay and Atlanta still on the schedule, the Bills could still make a run at 8-8. I’m not saying they will. In fact, I’m going to say they absolutely won’t, but at least it gives fans hope. Buffalo Bills receiver T.J.

SECOND ANNUAL YOUTH DEER HUNT CONTINUED FROM PG 3 license are eligible to take one deer of either sex with a firearm when properly accompanied by a licensed and experienced adult. Approximately 18,000 junior hunters were eligible to participate in the 2013 youth deer hunt, and, to date, junior hunters have reported taking approximately 700 deer. DEC anticipates the final harvest estimate for the youth deer
hunt will be higher after all reports are in and the harvest is calculated. Last year, during the inaugural youth deer hunt, an estimated 60 percent of eligible junior hunters participated and DEC calculated that they took more than 1,400 deer. Governor Cuomo's NY Open for Hunting and Fishing Initiative is an effort to improve recreational activities for in-state and
out-of-state sportsmen and sportswomen and to boost tourism opportunities throughout the state. This initiative includes the streamlining of hunting and fishing licensing and reducing license fees, improved access for fishing at various sites across the state, and increasing hunting opportunities in various regions. To gauge participation rates during the youth hunt,

There’s nothing like coming home for the holidays to family traditions, and Buffalo has a Thanksgiving tradition that is currently in its 118th year running, or walking if you prefer. It’s the annual Turkey Trot, a fi ve mile race through downtown Buffalo at 9 a.m. on Thanksgiving morning. Known as the longest running footrace in North America, Buffalo’s Turkey Trot has been going since 1896 and has become the standard for turkey trot runs across the country. Sponsored by the YMCA as one of its largest fundraisers, the Buffalo Turkey Trot attracts runners from around the world, 14,000 of them, to run eight kilometers in rain or snow, some fully costumed, down Delaware Avenue through the middle of the city. Unfortunately, unless you registered early, you can no longer sign up for the Buffalo Turkey Trot as it filled up by November 12 this year, earlier than previous years. But all is not lost for turkey day runners in our region. The city of Fredonia has its own version of the run, the Cold Turkey Trot which also
To add to the fun of their Turkey Trot, Buffalo runners have continued wearing their Halloween costumes into the Thanksgiving holiday, which has evolved into the addition of a costume contest to this year’s festivities.
begins at 9 a.m. at Pump It Up! Fitness. This five kilometer run or one and a half kilometer walk is open to all ages and is dedicated this year to the Boston Marathon runners and Damon Janes, the young high school football player that recently passed away from this area. Early online registration at www.active. com guarantees a runner a Cold Turkey t-shirt and a reduced registration fee of $25 prior to November 20. There is also registration available prior to the race along with packet pickup for all runners and walkers. After the morning run, there is a post run party at Pump It Up! Fitness for all participants and prizes will be awarded. For those that are closer to the Pennsylvania border, the city of Erie’s Runners Club is also sponsor-
ing a turkey trot run. This run takes place at scenic Presque Isle State Park, beginning at Beach One. The run is limited to only 5,000 participants, so early online registration through the Runners Club website is highly recommended (www.erie-runnersclub.org ). Offering a five and ten kilometer run, the ERC Turkey Trot begins at 8:30 a.m. for the shorter run and 9:40 a.m. for the longer. Registration is available prior to the run for last minute participants, but this trot normally sells out early. Event packets for runners can be picked up at the Bel-Aire Hotel during specific hours and the post even party runs from 9:30 a.m. to noon on Thanksgiving morning. For more information about the ERC Turkey Trot, contact Dave Comi at 814881-0060 or email uropa40@aol.com . CONTINUED ON PG. 9

Just as trains are very synonymous with Christmas trees, so are Christmas villages with trolley cars. We have a friend who over the years has created a hand-built Christmas village from scratch. After painting every building, house and shed, strategically placed them on a rolling hillside. He then purchased a Bachmann Auto-Reversing Electric Trolley system and inserted the track
throughout the winding village hillside. It’s absolutely amazing, especially during the evening display when all the lights are on. The Bachmann autoreversing system is
a specially designed HO track system that comes with built-in roadbed complete with selected section of curves, straights and a power speed controller. CONTINUED ON PG. 9

TURKEY TROT CONTINUED FROM PG. 4 For those runners located on the east side of the county, the Olean Family YMCA sponsors a turkey trot fun run or walk that has no registration fee, only a non-perishable food donation for the local food pantry. This five kilometer race begins at 9:00 a.m. at St. Bonaventure University with check-in at the Murphy Auditorium. There may not be T-shirts for participants, but winners receive a free turkey and there is a chance
for a good size win with the 50/50 raffle. If interested in the Olean Turkey Trot, contact Ink Young at 716-701-1330 about this Thanksgiving Day race in the Enchanted Mountains of western New York. Not every community has their own version of the Turkey Trot available, so if you can’t participate in any of these organized runs or the registration is full, do your own virtual run by running wherever

Joining us in support of our event will be mediaonebridal.com Beginning at noon Saturday will be Matt Homan and the Blue Grass Disciples
followed by Anthony Flint Jr. and Cindy Benson all varieties of musical entertainment. Sunday at 11 a.m. Gaffar Adams will have his students give a demonstration, then Davis & Eng will entertain thru music, ending with Lady Luna’s hoop and fan dance performance. There will be more entertainment to be announced. We expect this to be an exciting family friendly event for everyone. We are grateful to the Chautauqua Mall for allowing us to join their incredible stores during this holiday season.
TRAINS CONTINUED FROM PG. 6 you want for whatever distance you can. Deemed the Holiday Hustle, the intent is to get up and get moving and not just fill yourself with food, but do something good for your body and others by donating money, food or time to those less fortunate. Do something different this year and go trottin’ with the turkeys on Thanksgiving morning, all 14,000 of them.
You can set the speed, stop-time and reverse time with ease with the controller. When all is said and done, it gives your layout a captivating look of real village life. Bova’s Music and Train Shoppe offers the Bachmann autoreversing system and a variety of trolley cars to fit your theme. In addition, this system allows
you to upgrade you trolley size by adding an “On30” scale trolley car to your layout, simply by taking the HO trolley off the track and placing the On30 trolley on it. Like the HO trolley, the On30 trolley is a bigger O-27 scale car, but with narrow gauge wheel trucks, making it to fit the already HO track. The allows you to keep the same layout, but
create a larger size trolley look. It’s truly a unique system. This Christmas, consider creating a beautiful village with a Bachman AutoReversing Electric Trolley system. For more information , visit Bova’s Music and Train Shoppe at 31 McClurg Street in Westfield, or call them at 716-327-6891. We’re also on Facebook!
