Heralding the Holidays for 28 Years

First Covenant’s ‘Living Christmas Tree’ Takes The Stage Nov. 30- Dec. 2 By Patricia Pihl Managing Editor

In Jamestown the Christmas season is officially underway when the Living Christmas Tree opens each year at First Covenant Church. The event is the Christmas story told in the majesty of song and pageantry and something the Jamestown community has come to know and love as a favorite holiday tradition for the last 28 years. This year’s music presentation, “An Evening in December,” includes sixty-five singers who will take the sanctuary stage for the performance, standing on the tightly fitted scaffolding to form the singing tree. Event co-chair Kaye Young said there are also thirty musicians that will also be performing in the orchestra. “This year, there is a barbershop quartet, a children’s choir, and a special piece, “The Little Drummer Boy.” Brian Bogey is director of the production again this year, and around 1,500 attend the four performances each year, according to Young. In addition, she estimates that about 200 volunteers are involved in making the event a reality, and there are also people from twenty

world. Not that I was going to let it stop my Christmas shopping, but it was recently revealed that the Maya believed that the date only indicated an end of one “cycle,” which simply signaled the beginning of another. No discussion of the end of the world would be complete without mention of Nostradamus, the 16th century seer who supposedly predicted that the end of the 20th century would be a time of trauma and transition-not unlike many of the devastating events mirrored in the Bible’s book of Revelation. And there was Sir Isaac Newton, the founder of modern physics, who used mathematics and specific dates from the book of Daniel to predict that the world would end in 2060exactly 1,260 years after the foundation of the Roman Empire. Interestingly, Newton also predicted the return of the Jews from captivity before the end of time. Here was a man known for his analytical mind and working out the laws of gravity, who was dabbling in what would have been considered heresy at the time. Most major religions have some belief in the end of the earth. However, even those who earnestly look for their savior’s return and the triumph of good over evil should be aware of Mark 13:32 which says “No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” Without professing to know why there is such a fascination with the end of the world, I would like to propose this question: what are we to do with this information? Unfortunately, I think that for the religious and non-religious, it serves as little more than entertainment or intellectual curiosity. How does it change our lives, and how do we make the most of our days, if indeed the days are short? And to those who will use the information for fear mongering, I say…don’t worry, it’s already tomorrow in Australia.

RELIGION SECTION Keeping the Faith

Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church Fredonia www.thefamilychurches.org

Dear Pastor, I’m preparing to visit family for Christmas. Unfortunately, it seems that every time we get together, we end up arguing. Do I really have to go? Wow! You pose a very tough question, but be assured…God has an answer for you! Let me begin with the obvious. Family can be a potential hotbed of arguments, past hurts, and unresolved issues. It seems that the very things that build a family togetherness can sometimes lead to divi-

sion and conﬂict and strife. While it would be wonderful if we all had a family like the TV family, the Waltons, more often than not, it’s more like the Simpsons! And this is the problem… unrealistic expectations. We can get ourselves into a bad way when we begin to compare our real family with some imagined model of “perfect peace and love.” Disappointment with the way things are can lead to frustration. Frustration can lead to a bad attitude and a bad attitude can lead to ar-

guments and hurt feelings. Not good! Fear not…God has an answer to this situation. 1 Corinthians 13:1-8, better known as the love chapter, tells us that no matter what we are facing, when we make our decisions based on love, we will never fail. Part of walking in God’s kind of love includes “not seeking their own.” Most arguments happen when each person is trying to get their way or “win” an argument. Unfortunately, when someone wins, someone

loses. And this can lead to the ultimate loss…the relationship. The question you must ask yourself is “do I want to be right or do I want to be happy?” Is it worth having an argument about politics with family that you may see only a few times a year? Isn’t it more loving to be quiet and maintain the family peace? As a Pastor, I hear a lot of these situations at this time of year. My spiritual counsel to my ﬂock always includes a few recommendations on handling these situations.

First, keep your spiritual bank account full! Keeping in prayer and reading your Bible daily is like making a deposit into the account. When a situation arises, you’ll have something to pull from in order to walk in love. Galatians 6:8-10 tells us that if we sow good works, we will eventually reap good works if we do not lose heart! Next week…more on the holidays.

I want this in my life? Is this what God would want? Is this thought a threat to a holy lifestyle?” By doing so you are subjecting your thoughts to a screening process. If the thought agrees with Biblical principles then it can stay, if not it must be cast down. How do you cast down a thought? You cannot fight a thought with a thought. You must cast it down with words. Proverbs 18:21 says, “Death and life are in the POWER of the tongue; those that love it will eat the fruit thereof.” The Bible says that the tongue has POWER over life and death. The way we live begins in our

thoughts. When an evil thought comes we must cast it down with the words of our mouth in order in ensure the right kind of living. When a thought tries to exalt itself over the Knowledge of God, I speak to that thought and say, “That thought is not obedient to Christ. I cast you down. I refuse to think that way.” Now of course be sure to use discretion. Find a quiet private place to do this. People might think strange things if you are always talking to your thoughts around them! Next Week: Are Christians still sinners?

Weekly Word

Keeping Thoughts Captive

Rev. Tim Stahlman Family Church Jamestown www.thenewfamilychurch.com

The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 10:4-5, “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds; casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God and BRINGING INTO CAPTIVITY EVERY THOUGHT TO THE OBEDIENCE OF CHRIST.” If we lose the battle in our thought life than negative strongholds, or patterns of thought that act themselves out, will gain control and bring us into destructive living. Much of the trouble that people go through in life could have been pre-

vented if they had taken that initial thought captive and applied the Knowledge of God in its place. God is very interested in our thought life. Psalms 19:14 says, “Let the words of my mouth and the MEDITATIONS of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord my strength and my redeemer.” Oh, if people could just guard their mouths and their thoughts! Our thoughts or meditations must remain pleasing to God. How do we do that? We take every thought captive and keep them obedient to Christ! 2 Corinthians 10:5 requires

that “every thought” should be brought into “captivity”. The word captivity is a military termed used to describe the imprisonment of an enemy for the intent of questioning. Have you ever seen those military movies where they capture an enemy and place them under that single light to ask them questions? Why do they do that? They want to find out whether or not that person is a threat. We need to do the same with our thoughts! When a thought races across your mind you need to take that thought captive and find out whether it is a friend or a foe. Ask yourself, “Do

Residents and Staff Prepare for Annual Christmas Party Contributed Article Frewsburg Rest Home

Invitations have been sent, the menu planned and the decorating is in full swing as the staff and residents of Frewsburg Rest Home prepare for their premier event of the year. The Resident and Family Christmas party is to take place at the Home on Sunday Dec. 2 from noon to 4:00 p.m. The party has been an annual event since 1974. It was that year the facility opened under the ownership of the Sischo family. “This is our gift to the residents of our home and an opportunity to thank their families for entrusting us with their care.” Says Steve Sischo on behalf of the family. “We just want everyone to have a good time and enjoy each others company,” Steve adds.

Designated Drivers of Buffalo now offers a service where they send out a team of uniformed drivers to your location to pick you up and drive your vehicle home. Memberships are available, but anyone can use the service, which charges a set rate plus mileage from where you are picked up to your

home. The hope is to eliminate the obvious economical impact a DWI or DUI can cause you, as well as the possible loss of your job and negative impact on your image. In addition, the Erie County Sheriff ’s Office teamed up with Mothers Against Drunk Drivers this year at all Buffalo Bills home games by encouraging fans to sign up to play what they define “as the most important position in the NFL: the designated driver.” The Buffalo Bills and the local chapter of MADD were one of two National Football League teams that began the pilot program two years ago. There are now 11 NFL teams who participate in the initiative, which involves the county, MADD and the Bills encouraging everyone to plan ahead and designate a sober driver. MADD will have booths based inside Ralph Wilson Stadium in Orchard Park at the entrances of Gates 3 and 5 between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. for all home games in

December. By signing up to be a sober driver that game, free non-alcoholic beverage vouchers and other giveaways will be presented to each designated driver. The program has been well received by many Bills fans, with the slogan of “remember to stay alive and don’t drink and drive” helping to drive home the point the importance of having a designated driver. Some things to remember when indulging this holiday season: – Wine and beer are just as intoxicating as hard liquor. – Caffeine won’t sober you up. Only time can allow for alcohol to leave your system. – If you observe someone who has been drinking too much, encourage them to switch to a non-alcoholic beverage, help them find a safe ride home or offer to drive them. For more information about the local chapter of MADD, visit www.madd. org or call 488-9692.

The Town of North Harmony has established a fund at the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation to aid in renovating Veteran’s Park. Located in the Town of Ashville, the current Veteran’s Park has been used for local Memorial Day celebrations. The Park consists of three historic cannons and a memorial listing area veterans who have served our country in times of war and peace. Sally Carlson, Town Supervisor, approached the Foundation about establishing a fund that would provide money for a new memorial. Carlson says the plans for

a new memorial include a three paneled stone, with the names of local veterans on the outside and the center panel engraved with the insignias of every United States military branch. In addition to collecting donations for this fund, all proceeds from the sale of Arthur Thomas’ book “A Ferry Tale, a history of the Bemus Point Stow Ferry”, will be donated to this fund. Thomas, who passed away in March 2011, was a 1st Lieutenant in the United States Army during World War II. A former Town Justice and Councilman for the Town of North Harmony, Carlson believes Thomas would be proud his work is helping to honor other veterans.

Carlson is also asking that anyone who is currently, or was in the past, a resident of North Harmony and served our country to contact the Town Clerk’s Office and provide their name and branch of service to be included on the memorial. Names may also be submitted on the Town’s website, townofnorthharmony.com. For more information on this fund, contact the Community Foundation at 661-3390 or visit online at crcfonline.org. Tax-deductible donations may be made to the North Harmony Veteran’s Memorial Fund, c/o Chautauqua Region Community Foundation, 418 Spring Street, Jamestown, N.Y., 14701.

Health Department Kicks Off Community Transformation Grant Initiative Contributed Article Chautauqua County Health Department

Community leaders from across Chautauqua County met recently to start transforming local communities for the healthier. The group met as part of the start-up of the Chautauqua County Health Department’s Community Transformation Grant: Small Communities (CTG) initiative. Those who attended the kickoff meeting are members of a new multi-sector leadership team that will be working in partnership with the Chautauqua Health Action Team to assist and provide guidance to the Health Department and CTG program staff. These groups will be helping to implement a comprehensive plan to prevent chronic disease in early child care, school, and community settings within the geographic areas of the Jamestown, Dunkirk and Silver

Creek central school districts. “We are very excited to have school districts, municipalities, health and human service agencies, medical professionals, private-sector businesses, and elected officials as partners in this project,” says Christine Schuyler, the County’s

Director of Health and Human Services. “We recognize the need to work across sectors in our communities to successfully address causes of obesity and other chronic disease and we are fortunate to have these resources to coordinate this effort. Together we can affect

real positive change.” Chautauqua County is one of just three counties in New York State selected to receive the Community Transformation Grant: Small Communities funding. The New York State Department of Health was awarded the two-year

grant by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to address risk factors including tobacco use, physical inactivity, and poor nutrition in Chautauqua, Cattaraugus and Broome counties. “This initiative is about creating or strengthening opportunities for children and adults who live, work, and attend school in the selected communities to live more active lifestyles, to eat better, and to avoid exposure to tobacco. It’s really about making the healthier choices the easier choices,” explains Breeanne Agett, Junior Planner for the Chautauqua County Health Department. Silver Creek’s Mayor, Kurt

Lindstrom, is excited about being one of the communities involved. “I am thrilled to be a part of this terrific group. This is a proactive approach that will lead to healthier children in our communities resulting in healthier families. This project addresses genuine quality of life issues with the Village government, school district and County health professionals taking an active role in the health of our residents!” For more information, please contact Breeanne Agett at the Chautauqua County Health Department at: 753-4771 or agettb@ co.chatuauqua.ny.us

Lawrence, President and CEO of Lake Erie Regional Health System (LERHSNY), also expressed appreciation for the recent contribution. “We greatly appreciate the generous gift from the Dahlgren family and their friends,” he said. “Their broad support in memory of Emily Dahlgren honors our organization and dedicated staff.” The late Mrs. Dahlgren, born in Roanoke, VA, was a lifelong educator and a member of the Department of Defense Dependent Schools (DODDS) organization that administers American public schools for military dependents living abroad. In Paris she met her husband Wayne Lawrence Dahlgren and the couple later retired in London. Mrs. Dahl-

Although Mrs. Dahlgren never received treatments at Brooks Memorial Hospital, she did receive three rounds of chemotherapy and radiation over the years in other facilities. She died on July 29 at a hospice facility in London. Her husband now resides in the Washington, D.C area. Brooks Memorial Hospital, an affiliate of LERHSNY, is a full service facility offering a range of departments. In addition to oncology these include a 24hour Emergency Department, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Surgical Services, Laboratory and Diagnostic Imaging, Dialysis, Sleep Center, a full range of therapy services and inpatient care.

The day will feature music provided by The McClurg Street String Band, composed of Westfield Academy and Central School music students under the direction of acclaimed WACS music director Kent Knappenberger. The event will also once again have delectable desserts donated by members and friends of the Chautauqua County Historical Society. The Holiday Open House will also be the last opportunity for the public to view “Honoring the 9th New York Cavalry.” The exhibit, which features original documents, photographs, commemorative ribbons and badges, pays tribute to the valor and bravery of those Chautauqua County residents who served with distinction in the American Civil War. The exhibit will be dismantled at the end of the year. The CCHS Holiday Open House is the society’s most popular event, held annu-

Heritage Senior Living: Quilters Group Gives Back Contributed Article Heritage Ministries

“A Stitch in Time” quilters group from Heritage Village Retirement Campus in Gerry, New York, recently made a $300 donation to Heritage Ministries with proceeds raised from the sale of a quilt the group assembled. The quilters group is comprised of six women who reside on the Heritage Village Retirement Campus. The group, “A Stitch in Time,” was established to bring together the talent of these women who all enjoy the handiwork of quilting. Each of the women has pursued the hobby of quilting or needlework at some point in their lives, making special quilts for countless children, grandchildren, and extended family over the years. Now, in their retirement, these women have the time to enjoy a hobby they hold close to their hearts. Staying true to their favorite hobby, you could say the

pieces fell into place for “A Stitch in Time.” Recently, Heritage Village Retirement Campus participated in two events that highlighted the women’s common interest of quilting. One event was a Quilt Show where individuals displayed their own handmade quilts. The second event was a Quilt Fundraiser that several women donated their unique talents to benefit the Western New York Alzheimer’s Association. With a common interest in quilting at hand, Heritage Village Retirement Campus Resident, Dee Shreffler, began to bring the pieces together to form this unique group of women. In possession of a quilting frame donated by a fellow senior on the Retirement Campus, Mrs. Shreffler wondered how this quilting equipment could be utilized. Inspired by an interest to bring fellow quilters together, Mrs. Shreffler began organizing an informal quilters group. Heritage Village Retirement

Campus residents Dorothy Tidwell, Nancy Bertch, Janet Peterson, Luella Storm, and Esther Robson took Mrs. Shreﬄer up on her invitation. The group settled on the name “A Stitch in Time” and has worked on several quilts over the last two years. When working on a quilt project, the group meets once a week to stitch and visit with one another socially. The donated quilter’s frame is displayed in a common area at the Retirement Campus allowing others to enjoy and follow the group’s progress. “A Stitch in Time’s” most recent project was finishing the hand quilting on a donated quilt top. The quilt top had been generously donated by a town of Stockton resident who had read about the Retirement Campus seniors in a press release featuring the Quilt Fundraiser to benefit the Western New York Alzheimer’s Association. The end result was a beautiful Antique Double Wedding Ring quilt which was

purchased as a gift for a senior who resides in a Skilled Nursing Facility out of state. As the story for “A Stitch in Time” melded together, all of the pieces fell into place: a group of women with a common interest; the generosity of several donations; and a Chaplain’s wife to “sew” them all together. The proceeds from the sale of the Antique Double Wedding Ring Quilt were donated as a gift to Heritage Ministries to be used toward the non-profit organization’s current capital campaigns. To learn more about senior living on the Heritage Village Retirement Campus, please visit our website at www.heritage1886.org or call 716-487-6874 to schedule a personal tour.

position at Jamestown Community College in 1955. For more than 20 years, Martz taught, inspired and explored the world of astronomy with his students. With the coming of the space age and man’s first steps on the moon, Martz covered it all. Upon his retirement, he was granted the status of professor emeritus from the State University of New York. One of Martz’s greatest aspirations during his life was to

build the largest telescope in the world, built by an individual. With emotional, physical and financial support from Mary, and their mothers, Martz succeeded in his goal. The telescope he built, as well as the home he created for his family around it, still stands today. The Martz Observatory is located on Robin Hill Road in Frewsburg. After Martz’s passing at the age of 69, Mary continued living at the observatory for many

years. Following her passing in 2007, the observatory was left in the care of the Association. Due to the dedication of all members, the Marshal Martz Memorial Astronomical Association is able to continue the mission of their namesake, by informing, educating and inspiring individuals through science. Today, the Martz Observatory has been utilized by the Association to conduct meetings, give tours and host a variety of classes and programs

to students and interested parties from across the Western New York Region. For more information on the Martz Observatory or to schedule a trip, visit their website, martzobservatory.org.

Dan Johnson, seated with microphone, takes calls from bidders for horses at the Sherman Livestock Auction.

By Peter Hamilton Star Contributing Writer

As the remaining time for Christmas gift shopping shortens, shoppers who are stumped on choosing just the right little stocking stuffer might consider buying a horse, or, a goat. Perhaps, six geese-a-laying? For over seven years, near or about the last Friday of November, the Sherman Livestock Auction offers their Christmas Gift Auction Sale. This year it is November 30. “It’s a family gathering,” Dan Johnson, co-owner and auctioneer of the sale, announces describing the atmosphere at the annual sale.

Nichole Johnson, Dan’s wife and business partner, has been managing the livestock sale business with her husband since they bought it together in 2007. “The auction barn has been in around since 1937,” Nicole sited, while sipping a cup of hot tea inside the restaurant, which is also part of the auction showground. She continued, “we bought it from the Reed family who had the business for many years before we took it up.” The sales barns also have a family diner, which she and her sister-in-law manage together, “it’s a good business and we really enjoy it.” On Friday, Nov. 30, the Sherman Livestock Auction will partner with Christmas consignment items for a holiday sale. “There’re all kinds of gifts and toys,” Dan

Sherman Livestock Auction

Johnson said, “farm toys, meats, cheeses, holiday gifts, bulk foods.” Sales are not at all limited to holiday selling. There are two primary auctions held each Tuesday and each third Saturday. The Tuesday auctions bring in many kinds of farm animals, “and feeder cattle,” as Dan describes them. The third Saturday features horse auctions. They begin at 1 p.m. and continue until the early evening, sometimes as late as 8 p.m., depending upon the number of horses brought to the yard for public sale. A business, like many other businesses, has variability. Nichole points out, “the prime horse market has dropped in the last six or seven years.” The Sherman stockyard has an annual horse auction toward the end of February. The sale is not exclusive to, but is attended primarily by Amish farmers. Commonly referred as a “standard horse,” or horse accustomed to carts, these animals are usually former harness races. Also at the auction are ponies, draft and miniature horses, brought into the corral for bidder’s interest. In addition, Dan says a number of horses are “thoroughbreds.” “They become, presumably, jumpers, or runners,” he speculates. “Sometimes they’re just a family pet.” The horse auction might have the appearance of a used-car auction—older horses, draft stallions. And accessories: tack, stable supplies, saddles, and medications. To others, the likeness of the auction to a car sale is not contrasting. Chieﬂy, the sale is working horses for farm use. Then there are the “no-value” horses, as Dan entitles them, using the term with reservation, euphemistically perhaps. A “no-value” horse is just that, one with expired use, often, for slaughter. “Spent cattle,” is another description for a non-productive farm animal considered as a food product. “Sometimes we can’t give them away,” he states. “The USDA in an overseer

of all the slaughter sales at the auction,” Johnson confirms. According to the Johnsons, national organizations administer supervision over such slaughterhouse sales. “The American Jockey Club,” Nichole used as example, “demands that certain horses do not go to slaughter.” Then making clear, “but that’s not all at the main purpose of “novalue” horses.” Nor is the sale of produce animals the sole business of the Sherman Livestock Auction. The Johnsons lead the largest benefit auction in a several-state radius. Last year, according to Nichole, the business raised over $6,000 for the St. Jude Charity. Dan adds. “It’s an annual affair, each Labor Day the auction proceeds go to St. Jude. We have a trail ride, and pig roast. We’re the largest sponsor for the organization.” “We do more than just livestock sales,” says Nicole, “we are auctioneers for estate and farm sales.” The auction barn is also an apprenticeship to beginning auctioneers. Nicole is pleased that the Sherman Livestock Auction encourages the opportunity and supports the potential for inexperienced auctioneers to gain skills while working at the sale barns. Such was the case at the beginning of one recent Saturday livestock auction. First nonanimal items and equine accessories were brought forward for sale. Typically, Dan begins the auctioneering process, but as the animal bidding continues throughout the afternoon, he will hand over his seat at the auction bench to an auctioneer apprentice someone just starting out in the business. Nicole states, “We have a great place for them to get practice and exposure. Dan is a good auctioneer to work with. He gives them training.” The Sherman Livestock Auction has several employees, “a wonderful staff,” Nicole asserts. Drawing special attention to the upcoming Christmas holiday sale, “we all have a lot of

Q&A

How to protect pets from coyotes Q: When I’m walking my dog through a parkway near my home, we occasionally see coyotes. While they seem to keep to themselves, we have had a couple of small dogs killed by them in their own yards. Judging by the “lost cats” signs, I suspect they’ve taken a few pet cats, too. I live in the suburbs of a big city, and I guess I’m surprised that coyotes will take a pet right under an owner’s nose. Is there any way to protect our pets? This seems to be a relatively new problem here. — via Facebook A: Coyotes are everywhere, and they’ve learned that household pets are relatively easy prey. They’ve been able to use the ability to find food easily to expand their range dramatically. Coyotes are plentiful in suburban areas across the United States, and have even been reported in New York City and other highly urban environments. Free-roaming cats seem to be especially at risk. Many times missing cats or the gruesome finding of feline remains is initially thought to be the work of sadistic cat-haters, but often these apparent “crime sprees” turn out to be the work of neighborhood coyotes. Keeping cats safely inside is the only way to completely protect them. Small dogs are often targets of hungry coyotes as well, and for these pets, it’s important to be sure to supervise them in your yard, especially if you back up to a wooded area, golf course or other potentially coyote-rich environment. When walking small dogs, don’t let them off leash. Few coyotes are bold enough to get so close to a person as to snap up a leashed dog. Larger dogs are considerably less at risk, but not completely so, and it wouldn’t hurt to keep a leash and close eye on them as well. To discourage coyotes from colonizing your neighborhood, work with your neighbors to remove food sources that attract these predators, such as pet food left outside, garbage cans that aren’t securely closed or compost piles that are not correctly maintained. If food sources are denied them, the animals will move on to a more promising area. While none of these steps will completely protect your pets, they will reduce the risk from these evermore-common predators. — Dr. Marty Becker Do you have a pet question?

NO CUTTING THE QUICK

Male cats haven’t always been ‘toms’

Nail trims don’t have to be a dog’s worst nightmare — or yours

By Gina Spadafori Universal Uclick

uick, look at your dog’s feet. Are your pet’s nails too long? Do you remember the last time you cut them? Are you dreading the next? If they’re too long and you’ve been putting off the chore because of how awful the experience was for you both, well, you’re in good company — or, at least in the majority. Everywhere I go, I see dogs with nails that desperately need trimming. And sometimes I don’t even have to go anywhere: Even I With patient handling and praise, many can get so busy that I forget to trim them on trimming without a fuss. my own dogs!

It wasn’t until the 18th century debut of a fictional feline character named “Tom” that male cats became known by that name.

dogs learn to tolerate nail Some dogs prefer having their nails ground instead of clipped, perhaps because with a grinder it’s easy to stop before you hit the quick. The most important thing to remember when grinding is that nails can get hot while you’re working on them. Don’t grind continuously. Touch the grinder to the nail in very short bursts — a second or two at most — to keep the heat from building up. And make sure not to catch any fur while you’re working. (Tip: Look for online videos on grinding nails to see the technique.) Whichever method you’re using to shorten the nails, don’t forget the dewclaws, those extra toes you can find up on the inside of the leg. Not all dogs have them, but for those who do, neglected nails can be a problem. Long nails can catch on upholstery and tear the dewclaw partly off the leg. Keeping these nails short will prevent injury, which is why you haven’t finished trimming nails until you’ve done the dew, too. If you work with your pet frequently, trim just a little at a time and reward generously for cooperation, the days of nail-trimming dread will be behind you both, and your dog will step out more comfortably on your walks together.

• While a male cat — especially an unneutered one — is today called a “tom,” that wasn’t always the case. Up until the late 1700s, male cats were known as “rams” (like sheep) or “boars” (like pigs). A book about cats with a character named Tom became popular in the latter part of that century; after that, male cats started being called tomcats. • As noted by DVM360.com, a study by the Oregon Veterinary Medical Association highlights concerns that have been raised with human pharmacies dispensing drugs for pets. The OVMA reported that more than a third of veterinarians said that an external pharmacy changes a prescribed dosage or medication without asking for authorization. Even more concerning, 17 percent of the respondents said that their patients experienced adverse affects as a result of changes made by the pharmacies. In one case, a pharmacist recommended a product with acetaminophen for a pet, apparently unaware that the common pain-reliever is deadly for cats. • Providing palliative and end-of-life care is a trend in veterinary medicine that’s resonating with pet owners, according to the VIN News Service (news.vin.com). There are now guidelines and organizations that promote the concept of hospice for pets, extending life without extending suffering for older or sick animals. The trend mirrors the human hospice movement in many ways, with the notable exception that when suffering can no longer be eased, veterinary medicine can offer euthanasia. Even the administration of euthanasia is changing, with many veterinarians offering to provide this last gift of kindness at patients’ homes or in specially designed rooms in their practices. — Dr. Marty Becker and Gina Spadafori

Protect Your Pets from Holiday Hazards

If you must deck the halls with such plants, place them in an out of the way spot your pets can’t reach and keep your pets away from those areas of your home. Tinsel and gift ribbons are tempting for pets that like to play with shiny things, but when swallowed, such items can cause intestinal obstructions. Clean up after opening presents and vacuum around the tree to pick up any gift debris, as well as fallen pine needles which pose a similar hazard.

Avoid the Problem When it comes to the holidays, there’s no need to be a Grinch in order to keep your celebration safe for pets. New technologies are making it easier to teach pets to stay away from certain areas of your home, both indoors and outside. For example, Invisible Fence Brand Micro Shields Avoidance Solutions are small mobile wireless units to train pets to avoid areas of the home or yard where they might get in trouble. And if you have multiple pets, you can set different rules for different pets. So don’t forgo that lovely

Watch Your Plate As most great pet owners know, not all human foods are safe or healthy for pets. Pets can choke on bones in meat or fish dishes. And such foods as onions, macadamia nuts and chocolate -- which are commonly found in holiday cooking and baking -- are unsafe for dogs. Avoid having your well-meaning guests sending Spot to the vet by laying ground rules

about sharing food. Also, one man’s trash is a pet’s treasure, so be sure to keep the lid on the garbage secure.

By taking proper precautions, you can keep the holidays festive this year for both you and your pets.

Chautauqua County Humane Society Pet of the Week

Pet of the Week This week we are featuring “Marble”. She is a 1 1/2 year old short haired tabby calico. She is very sweet, but can be a bit on the shy side until she gets to know you. She prefers to pick her own spot for attention and doesn’t like to be picked up much. Marble was found as a stray and brought to CCHS. Her perfect home would be quiet with a family that would let her take things at her own pace. If you think you might be right for Marble, meet her at the Strunk Road Adoption Center Cat Colony Room. She is ready to have a loving home of her own.

Young Thunderbirds Look To Move Up In Division 3 By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

Looking to build on last year’s quarterfinal appearance in the Class C-2 playoffs, Chautauqua Lake basketball head coach Chris Dole has his Thunderbirds aiming a little bit higher. If they’re going to do that, it might just come from a talented group of underclassmen. “We’re going to be really, really young,” Dole said. That’s what happens in the world of high school basketball and Chautauqua Lake is no different, except in the case they might be younger than most. They had five seniors on last year’s squad, four of which were in Dole’s seven-man rotation and two of which were among his top three scorers. But, this won’t be Dole’s first run with a young squad. He hit the jackpot last year with sophomore Ian Clute turning into the team’s leading scorer. He’s hoping to do it again with one of his four sophomores or one freshman that are up with the varsity squad this year. In all, eight underclassmen are on Chautauqua Lake’s 11-man roster, leaving Dole with some question marks heading into the year. “They’ve got some talent, they’re just inexperienced,” Dole said. “A lot of these guys played in the offseason. We had a summer league in Jamestown and I found a lot about of some of these younger kids.” Take a little bit of good with a little

Bonnies Women’s Basketball Can't Hold Off North Texas, Fall In Double-Overtime Contributed Article

St. Bonaventure Sports Information

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — The St. Bonaventure women's basketball team (3-3) dropped its third game Saturday night in the consolation game of the New Mexico Thanksgiving Tournament. North Texas (1-4) bested the Bonnies by a score of 72-71 in double-overtime. It was a tale of two halves for the Bonnies. Early in the first half it was Ashley Zahn who found the hot hand knocking down her first two three-point attempts to give SBU an

early 6-2 lead. Zahn stayed hot and by the end of the first half she had hit a career-high five triples for a career-high 15 points. CeCe Dixon added nine points of her own in the first half on 3-6 shooting from deep. The Bonnies had built a 19-point advantage with 4:11 to play in the first half but North Texas used those remaining minutes to go on a 10-3 run to close the half. At the break the Bonnies led 30-18. In the second half, the Bonnies stuck with the hot hand of Ashley Zahn as she dropped two more deep balls to help extend the SBU lead to 16,

45-29, with 12:47 to play. But the Mean Green, who average 72 points per game, would not be held back for much longer. North Texas used a 9-0 run to get themselves back in to this one. CeCe Dixon broke the run with a jumper at the 8:44 mark. The score held at 47-40 for over two minutes when Braylah Blakely broke the silence with a jumper. Doris Ortega made a pair of free throws and pitched in a lay-up to push the lead back up to nine. The Bonnies held that nine-point advantage with 4:03 to play when Alexis Hyder stole the ball away

from Katie Healy and found Laura McCoy in transition for a three. The lead would be cut to four following Katie Healy free throw when Desiree Nelson drilled a three-pointer with 3:27 to play. Doris Ortega missed two lay-ups on the next Bonnies possession. North Texas capitalized with a jumper from BreAnna Dawkins, bringing the score to 52-50 with 2:49 left in the game. Ortega composed her herself and finished the lay-in on the ensuing possession to push the lead back up to four with 2:26 to play.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Stevie Johnson and the Buffalo Bills' offense suddenly have one thing in common. Both are moving in reverse. The Bills' leading receiver found himself backpedaling Monday, a day after openly questioning coach Chan Gailey's offensive play calling following a 20-13 loss at Indianapolis. Johnson said he misspoke when suggesting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick take over the play-calling duties from Gailey. What he meant to say is Fitzpatrick should have more opportunities to change plays at the line of scrimmage. continued on pg 7

tive. Czech, who finished the year with more than 100 tackles and 10 sacks, was named The Star’s County Defensive Player of the Year. Haines, meanwhile, missed the first three games with an injury, but may have been the most important player on the team. He also was used as a fullback late in the year. Jamestown finished the year 8-2 after losing in the sectional final. Nocek, also an integral part to the Hillbillies defense, was a stout tackle, helping quarterback Weston Ley use him speed by reaching the edge. Fredonia was without top

running back Zach Buckley for much of the year. Nocek made much of his mark on defense, as he finished with 86 tackles and nine sacks, both of which led the team. Fredonia finished 7-3 after losing in the sectional final. Finally, Swan helped clear the way for the county’s leading rusher in Oliver Simpson. Simpson ran for 1,522 yards and finished the year with 18 touchdowns. Swan helped anchor a line that also featured seniors Lee Wascher and Jon Scroxton. Maple Grove finished the year 8-1 after losing in the sectional final.

The last player from Chautauqua County to win the award was Southwestern’s Jasen Carlson back in 2009. Carlson was a four-year starter for Southwestern and is now a two-year starter for the University at Buffalo. Other past winners are: Devon Leach (Orchard Park, 2011), Dylan Anna (Pioneer, 2010), John Urschel (Canisius, 2008), Nicholas Christman (Sweet Home, 2007), Gil Rodriguez (Frontier, 2006), Jesse Jesonowski (Iroquois, 2005), Jason Weber (Orchard Park, 2004) and John Livingston (Eden, 2003).

County Basketball Power Rankings 1. Jamestown

— Three starters and a sixth man return for Ben Drake and the Red Raiders. They’ve stepped up the non-league competition in December. We’ll see how they handle it.

2. Silver Creek

— Three starters are also back for the Black Knights, who cruised to a Division 2 title and nearly took all of Class C after a buzzer-beater rimmed out. Zed Williams and Kaine Kettle represent an imposing insideoutside game.

3. Maple Grove

— I’ve learned to never discount a Curt Fischercoached team, even if that team lost nearly every important piece from a year ago. Still, Maple Grove was head-andshoulders better than Division 3 and should be favorites again.

4. Southwestern

Southwestern went as far as any Class B team last year and returns first-team all league selection Kyle Radack. Trojans should be much better than last year’s fourth place regular season finish.

5. Fredonia

— Last year’s results tend not to mean anything, but the Hillbillies did lose to Southwestern in the playoffs last year, which is why they’re slightly lower than the Trojans. Juniors Dylan Meyer and Nick Johnston make this team a sleeper.

6. Dunkirk

— Between them and Olean, they’ve hogged Division 1 for the last two years. How Dunkirk replaces such a vulnerable senior class seems like a daunting task, but we’ll see how coach Jerome Moss fares.

7. Panama

— They were the only sectional champ from Chautauqua County last year, but were hit harder than most by graduation. Head coach has a go-to scorer in Alec Blose, but the rest of squad is a little bit of a mystery.

8. Westfield

— Losing a fantastic scorer like Austin Alonge is going to hurt anyone. Westfield looks capable, behind John Coe, to survive, but I need to see more of them before buying in.

9. Clymer

— They lose five seniors but Dan Lictus is going to be tough for any team to deal with. If they can fill in around him, the Pirates could be Class D favorites.

10. Sherman

— The top three teams in Class D were all crushed by graduation and Sherman is no different. Six seniors are gone but juniors Andrew Graham and Ryan Robson give coach Cory Emory the best backcourt in the class.

— Hard to believe but

come Panama to the division, as the new classifications bumped Ellicottville down to Division 4 and replaced them with the Panthers, last year’s sectional champions in Class D. The Panthers remained at the D level. Besides that, it’s the usual suspect in Division 3. “Maple Grove is obviously going to be the team to beat, as usual,” Dole said. “And West-

field has a couple of three-year starters, so they’re going to be very good again. But as far as 1-2 goes, it’s Maple Grove and Westfield again. “It doesn’t’ matter what division Maple Grove is in, they’re going to be talked about every year,” Dole added. Chautauqua Lake opens up the year at Brocton on Dec. 4. They’ll take on Ripley before

getting Brocton on their home court on Dec. 13. Then, they’ll play the two teams they looked up at in the division last year in Maple Grove and Westfield all before Christmas. Those will be their first two league games. “We expect a lot out of these kids,” Dole said. “We’re youthful, but we’re not lacking talent.”

Misery Continues For Bills

Chris Winkler COMMENTARY

For the last five years now, I’ve been a sports editor at a couple of different outlets. I’m not going to complain about it, but there are certain aspects of the job that become painfully repetitive. Writing a Buffalo Bills season eulogy in the last week of November is one of them. - While some of you rely on the calendar to tell you when to start your Christmas 9. shopping, I have my favorite football falling out of the nd playoff race to key me in on or what time of the year it is. It’s hard to believe, or maybe it isn’t, but again Buffalo fell rk, short in a do-or-die road er, game that probably killed ius, the season. Still — and absolutely none of us want o- to hear about it — you could sse map out a way to the second ), Wild Card if you wanted, but k, please don’t mention that to me in passing. Mathematically, it is possible. Logically, the season is over. Yes, that’s what happens when you’re 4-7 and the teams you have beaten have a combined 13 wins — none of which find themselves over .500. Hard to believe in the sense that it’s happened again. I know it’s the NFL, but you would have to think the Law of Averages would at some point involve the Bills. Regardless, it hasn’t. If it feels like the Bills have been 4-7 or 5-6 for the last decade, it’s because they have. Since the 2002 season, Buffalo has been either one of the two records for nine of the past 11 seasons. The two oddballs, you ask? They were 2-9 in 2010 (Chan Gailey’s first year) and 6-5 in 2008 (Dick Jauron contract extension year). Funny how the only time the Bills have been above .500 heading into Week 13 for the last 12 seasons, the head coach had just had his contract extended. Low expectations, huh? But, by contrast, I suppose it’s not surprising in the sense that this is the Buffalo Bills. So where do we stand? For the love of my sanity, I’m not even going to contemplate Buffalo being a playoff team. It’s become sickening watching player after player trot out the Chan Gailey motto of saying, “we can still be a playoff team.” You could admire the confidence. On a different team, or in another era, perhaps you’d gather around the water cooler and agree to get behind this team. As for me, I’d rather be tortured with hours of political advertisements. There’s been a lot of trying years for Bills fans over the last decade-plus, but to me, this year was the final straw. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll be there on Sunday and I’ll be there next year. Part of that is because there are very few en, things that make Buffalo a hey major city. The NFL is one n of them. nd No, I’ve just stopped believing. Any burden of hope has st been completely erased by another miserable season. se It’s times like these where I uth- sit back and wonder why I’m even a fan. But, when the only other local major sport team (including college) is

one marred in a never-ending lockout, there isn’t much to turn to. So, I’ll just sit here and waddle with the Bills. Where they go from 4-7 is an interesting question many have asked me and is one I’ve contemplated for a few days. Truthfully, the Bills should be able to beat both Jacksonville and St. Louis at home if the offense gets back on track, but I don’t want to hear about it because they’re simply not good enough to win out. End of story. And since 8-8 won’t make the playoffs (even though it possibly could this year) I’d rather see this team fall apart. Hey, I’m just as sick as saying that every three years, but the simple fact is Gailey is 14-29 as a head coach. That’s a full six games worse than ol’ Jauron (20-23) through 43 games. Let that one sink in. But, being the Bills, I’m sure they’ll find ways to win these utterly meaningless upcoming games as they try to reach the magical land known as .500 — have you heard about it? Comically, it’s become as mythological to Bills fans as Atlantis. As badly as I wanted Gailey to work out, I’m ready for a change. Some say stability, or lack thereof, has been the core route of Buffalo’s misery. But what exactly are we waiting for by keeping Gailey around? Another year of passing on a quarterback who they aren’t sold on? I guess Buddy Nix has done an OK job. While I’m willing to admit he’s done a pretty good job in the first round — something no general manager has been able to do in Buffalo — he’s failed mostly everywhere else. Sure, signing Mario Williams was nice, no doubt about it. It was a smart move both on and off the football field. But, unfortunately for Nix, he’s not finding much talent in the later rounds and has inexcusably misidentified Ryan Fitzpatrick as a franchise quarterback. In three draft classes — 27 picks overall — Buffalo has selected one quarterback. That was in the 7th round and it was Levi Brown, who is currently a backup quarterback for the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Yes, that also falls on Gailey, who has been adamant about Fitz being his guy, but that’s no saving grace. Sure, Nix was faced with building off a completely barren roster. If you don’t believe me, go back and look at the 2009 roster — or even 2008— and you’ll scratch your head bald wondering how in the world Jauron won games. In that respect, you give Nix some credit as this team is starting to find some guys that could be considering building blocks. But what does it matter? Players and coaches have come and gone but the results stay the same. In this case, they’ve actually become worse. I’ll commend Nix for slightly turning this around, but if I’m Ralph Wilson, it’s time to start over again. It just seems like the Bills are close, but Gailey and Dave Wannstedt are holding them back. Most importantly, refusing to address the quarterback position has left this team in neutral and I do not really trust Nix or Gailey to be in charge of selecting the next guy. Snow? Check. Bills out of the playoff race? Check. Welcome to December.

Fredonia State Sports Information

FREDONIA, N.Y. — The Fredonia State Blue Devil Invitational will be held for three days starting Friday inside the Steele Hall Natatorium. In addition to the Blue Devils, swimmers and divers from seven other collegiate programs will compete for individual and team honors. The visiting schools are Baldwin-Wallace, The College at Brockport, SUNY Oswego, Penn State Behrend, Pitt-Bradford, SUNY Potsdam, and Saint Vincent. Championship and consolation finals will consist of eight swimmers in each event. Scoring will be through 16th place with relays only contested once. Each team may will be allowed to enter an unlimited

number of swimmers in each event while each individual will be limited to the NCAA championship meet restriction of seven events with a maximum of three individual events during the meet. As a provision, each swimmer will be allowed to enter one extra event as an exhibition. All entries were due by noon Tuesday. A psych sheet will be released later in the day. The meet will consist of five sessions — 4 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. Saturday, and 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Sunday. Both morning sessions will consist of preliminaries in individual events, the evening sessions of finals, with the exception of Friday night, which will have a mix of both. There will also be relay finals during both morning sessions — the 200yard freestyle on Saturday, the 200-yard medley relay on Sunday.

The 23rd annual PirateFest will take place during the weekend following the Caravan and will once again take place at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center.

Tulane, ECU To Join Big East In '14, Leaving C-USA By Ralph Russo

show. Only one submission per household.

The Big East moved quickly to replace Rutgers and braced for more possible departures, getting Tulane and East Carolina to agree to join the re-invented conference in 2014. ''I would go as far to say as this is a historic day for Tulane University ... the Big East is coming to the Big Easy,'' school President Scott Cowen said Tuesday. Tulane, in New Orleans, and East Carolina, in Greenville, N.C., will make it six Conference USA schools to join the Big East in the last two years. Rutgers announced a week ago that it would leave the Big East for the Big Ten. Cowen and athletic director Rick Dickson said serious talks with the Big East began about a week ago. ''This is an unprecedented opportunity to join a national conference,'' Dickson said. ECU athletic director Terry Holland said an offer to join the Big East came Sunday. ''It was a quick turnaround,'' he said. Rutgers would like to join the Big Ten by 2014, along with Maryland, but the Scarlet

Knights have left their departure date from the Big East ambiguous. Conference bylaws require members to give the league notification of two years and three months before departing, but the Big East has negotiated early exits for Syracuse, Pittsburgh and West Virginia in the past year. West Virginia joined the Big 12 this year. Syracuse and Pitt will begin play in the Atlantic Coast Conference in September. With Maryland leaving the ACC, there has been strong speculation that Connecticut or Louisville will be the next to leave the Big East as the Terps' replacement. If either does, the conference is still on target to have 12 football members in 2014, just not the same ones it will have in 2013 when the new Big East debuts. ''We're not finished,'' Big East Commissioner Mike Aresco said. ''We obviously have some other plans for expansion.'' The Big East is also on the open market, trying to negotiate a pivotal new television contract. Aresco said that had to be put on hold for a few days as the continued on pg 10

BCS Standings Set Up Semiﬁnal In SEC Title Game By Ralph Russo Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) — Two years before the playoffs start in college football, the Southeastern Conference is staging a semifinal to determine who plays Notre Dame in the BCS title game.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — If Alabama coach Nick Saban doesn't like the way the Bowl Championship Series is playing out, Florida coach Will Muschamp has a solution. ''Well, I can switch and go to Atlanta if he doesn't want to go to Atlanta and play the Dawgs,'' Muschamp said Monday. ''Be careful what you ask for, Nick.'' Saban said Sunday that is isn't fair that the fifth-ranked Gators likely will play in the Sugar Bowl over the loser of the Southeastern Conference title game. No. 2 Alabama plays No. 3 Georgia for the SEC title Saturday, with the winner advancing to the BCS

title game in Miami and the loser probably landing in the Capital One Bowl in Orlando. ''It's not really a great scenario,'' Saban said. ''You play your way into the (SEC) championship game, which means you're the best team in your division. ... It doesn't seem quite right, but it is what it is. I don't really know what me commenting about it is going to do to change it. But I don't feel good about it.'' Muschamp worked for Saban at LSU and with the NFL's Miami Dolphins, and the two remain on good terms. Florida (11-1) is essentially locked into the Sugar Bowl. The Gators are ranked No. 4 in the latest BCS standings, and even though they are off this weekend, probably

Head coach of the Florida Gators Will Muschamp went on record telling Alabama head coach Nick Saban how much he'd like to switch spots with the Tide.

won't fall. The top four teams are guaranteed spots in BCS

games as long as no conference sends more than two

teams. It will be nearly impossible for a two-loss Alabama or Georgia team to stay ahead of Florida. The Gators, though, aren't lobbying for anything. ''We knew the rules of engagement when we started the season,'' Muschamp said. ''I'm not one that's going to sit there and complain about it. It is what it is. We had our opportunity in Jacksonville, and we didn't get it done. ''That's our fault. Nobody else's.'' Florida's lone loss came against Georgia in Jacksonville. The Gators turned the ball over six times, including once at Georgia's 5-yard line with 2:06 remaining. Florida needed a touchdown and a 2-point conversion to tie

the game at 17. Jeff Driskel found tight end Jordan Reed for a 13-yard gain, but Reed fumbled while trying to gain extra yards. Georgia recovered and ran out the clock. The 17-9 loss cost the Gators a berth in the SEC title game and a shot at the national title. Muschamp said he's looking forward to college football's four-team playoff, but won't complain that it's not in place already. ''It is what it is this year,'' Muschamp said. ''I'm not a guy that's going to sit there and belly-ache about the rules. They were set before the season started. We knew the deal. I'm not going to sit there and complain about it. We should have won the game.''

teams play would be the difference between winning and losing this weekend and our penalty kill hurt us again (on Saturday).” Johnstown scored two powerplay goals on five stronghanded opportunities during the contest while the Ironmen went 0-3. Tim Shaughnessy got the start in goal for Jamestown, tallying up 24 saves on the night. Matt Lanzillotti and Nathan Ropelewski each chipped in an assist for the Ironmen. This is only the second time this season that Jamestown (16-6-2) has been swept in a two game weekend series, and the first time it has happened at the Jamestown Savings Bank Arena. The Ironmen are 9-3 at home with two of those losses coming this weekend. “You can’t take any shifts off, or else you will pay the price,” said Coach Daikawa. “We need to refocus and prepare for a long road trip.” The sweep started Friday when Jamestown fell to Johnstown, 5-3. The two teams traded power play goals in the first as Ironmen forward, Evan Ritt scored his sixth goal of the season unassisted, and the game was knotted up at ones after a period. Johnstown blanked the Ironmen and rattled off three goals in the second, including a pair of power play

scores to take a commanding 4-1 lead into the final period of regulation. Jamestown was outshot, 34-33 throughout the game and Reid Mimmack took the loss in goal despite making 29 saves. It was apparent that the Ironmen faithful were not pleased with the oﬃciating after Friday night’s contest. Jamestown accumulated 31 minutes in the sin bin on 10 infractions compared to the Tomahawk’s mere nine minutes on three penalties. Johnstown piled up four powerplay goals on seven chances while the Ironmen scored one on their only strong-handed opportunity. Despite the criticisms of the men in stripes, there was no finger-pointing coming from Ironmen head coach, Dan Daikawa after the game. “In the end, we didn’t get the job done,” said Daikawa. “It comes down to our penalty kill not being as good as their power play.” Daikawa’s players followed suit, putting the blame on themselves and their focus headed into the game. “After this loss, our guys held each other accountable; they know that it is the way you prepare throughout the week that determines the outcomes of games.” Jamestown won’t play another home game until Dec. 21 and is slated for six games away

Ironmen Start Long Road Trip In California After Being Swept By Johnstown

The Jamestown Ironmen dropped their second straight home game, losing to the Johnstown Tomahawks, 3-2 in North American Hockey League play on Saturday. Jamestown outshot the Tomahawks 17-6 in the first, but failed to get the puck past the goaltender as the game was scoreless through one period of play. Johnstown opened up the scoring with a pair of goals in the second. Jamestown finally got on the scoreboard with a goal from Victor Johansson assisted by Ross Pavek with 3:04 remaining in the second to bring the score to 2-1. Johnstown scored their second powerplay goal of the game early in the third to extend their lead to two. Luc Gerdes netted his fourteenth goal of the season for the Ironmen with 10:18 left in the deal third to bring the hometown n team back to within one. That was all the scoring for Jame9, stown, as they couldn’t muster up another goal the rest of the way allowing Johnstown (11-6-6) to hang on for the 3-2 victory. $5 Ironmen head coach Dan Daiors kawa wasn’t disappointed in the e to effort he saw from his team. “We played well,” said Daikawa. “We knew that special act

best over the weekend as he posted two more wins against Brookings. On Friday, he made 38 saves in a 2-1 road win in Brookings and on Saturday, he stopped all 25 shots in a 3-0 home shutout of the Blizzard. For the weekend, Nelson stopped 95 of 98 shots, which was good for a 96.9 save percentage. “It was a busy week for us and getting good goaltending was paramount in being able to take 7 of 8 points,” said Bobcats head coach Layne Sedevie. “Aaron is playing hot right now, so it was hard not to put him back between the pipes for each game. He uses his quickness so well in getting from Point A to Point B and came up with some big saves.”

North Division Star of the Week: Casey Nelson, defenseman, Johnstown Tomahawks

The Johnstown Tomahawks picked up two of their biggest wins of the year in a road sweep against the 1st place Jamestown Ironmen. Leading the way was defenseman Casey Nelson. The 20-year-old from Wisconsin Rapids, Wis., chimed in with a

five-point weekend in the two wins. On Friday, Nelson (6’1/174) scored a power play goal and added two assists in a 5-3 win against the Ironmen. On Saturday, Nelson had two more assists (including on the gamewinning goal) and a team-high seven shots on goal in a 3-2 win. For the season, Nelson has 18 points in 23 games played. Half of his points have come in the month of November and he is currently tied for 2nd in scoring for all NAHL defensemen. “Casey has been an impact player all year and does a little bit of everything for us,” said Tomahawks head coach Jason Spence. “He is a tremendous skater and knows how to keep the puck alive in the offensive zone. He has a quick release and really likes to shoot the puck, which is one of main reasons he is able to generate offense.”

South Division Star of the Week: Omar Mullan, forward, Amarillo Bulls

With the Amarillo line-up impacted by injuries to several key offensive players, veteran forward Omar Mullan, 19, took it upon himself to step

up during Amarillo’s two road wins over the weekend in Odessa and help his team into a tie for 1st place in the South Division. The native of Dearborn, Mich., scored the most points of any NAHL player during the week as he registered six points (1 goal, 5 assists) in the two wins. On Friday, Mullan assisted on three of Amarillo’s four goals in a 4-3 win, which included picking up the primary assist on the game-winning goal. On Saturday, Mullan had a goal and two more assists in an 8-3 win. In 22 games this season Mullan has 22 points and is third on the team in scoring and second in plus/minus with a +23. “Omar is a guy that has really developed into a good and skilled player for us,” said Amarillo head coach Dennis Williams. “Last year, he found himself in a more physical, grinder role, but this year, he has really been able to be an all-around player who can put up some points. He has found a nice balance between the two and it has made him a really good two-way hockey player.”

West Division Star of the Week: Duggie Lagrone,

defenseman, Fairbanks Ice Dogs

The Fairbanks Ice Dogs completed a perfect sweep in the state of Texas this past weekend with a two-game sweep of the Wichita Falls Wildcats, which followed up their sweep last week of Corpus Christi. This past week, Dallas, Texas native and Fairbanks defenseman Duggie Lagrone, 18, felt right at home as he picked up four points and was +2 in a weekend sweep in Wichita Falls. On Friday night, Lagrone assisted on the Ice Dogs first goal in a 2-1 win. On Saturday, Lagrone had a goal and assisted on two others (including the game-winner) in a 5-3 win over Wichita Falls. In 16 games this season, Lagrone has 11 points. “I think there was a little added motivation for Duggie because he was back in his home state of Texas and had a lot of family in attendance at the games,” said Fairbanks head coach Trevor Stewart. “You could tell he was playing with some extra emotion. He can skate really well and does a very good job at beating the forecheck and getting the puck out of the zone and up the ice.”

Chase wrap

Champ to buy big toy; downplays critics

n addition to picking up a nice trophy and a place in NASCAR history for winning the 2012 Sprint Cup championship, Brad Keselowski is in line to collect millions of dollars in bonus money and from other sources. His take from NASCAR alone, which is split with his Penske Racing team, is estimated to be about $6 million. So what does a 28-year-old single person plan to do with that kind of cash? Keselowski said on last week’s NASCAR teleconference that one of the “toys” on his list is a tank. “I’ve been looking into that really all summer long,” he said. “It all started with Wally Dallenbach, who was telling me a story about having one. I thought, wow, that would be awesome. So obviously living where I do and being around Dale [Earnhardt] Jr., I thought it would be cool if we both got a tank and chased each other around in the woods with them. It’s kind of our deal. “I promised myself if I won it, I would buy one whether Dale does or not. It was kind of a little bit of motivation, I should say.” He said he’s not really into buying trophies for himself, but a tank is different. “I think a tank would be pretty cool,” he said. “I want to put one together and have some fun with it. When I’m done playing with it, I’ll just park it in the driveway and scare off people who aren’t supposed to be around. I don’t know. It will be fun either way.” He said he’ll likely try to find a vintage model. “I want to get something from World War II to Korea era, something in the ’40s to mid-’50s, era,” he said. A good-running tank shouldn’t put too much of a dent in Keselowski’s wallet. They’re for sale on military vehicle websites starting at around $250,000. As NASCAR’s newest champion, Keselowski drew plenty of notice and some criticism for appearing to have consumed several adult beverages before some of his post-race interviews from Homestead-Miami Speedway in the hours after he clinched the Cup championship. But on a teleconference with reporters two days later, he expressed no regrets. “I think everybody faces their criticism no matter what you do,” he said. “You’re never going to get all of the people to like something that you do. It’s not possible. Someone’s always going to dislike something you do, and you have to roll that off your shoulders and move on.” He said that if a person remains true to himself, it’ll all work out in the long run. “I had fun, and I wanted to show that fun and enjoy it with others,” he said. “I’m more thrilled that people enjoyed [it] than I am disappointed to questioning my path because someone else didn’t like it.” TV ratings for last week’s Sprint Cup season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway continued a trend of Chase races drawing fewer viewers than comparable events last year. The Ford EcoBoost 400 earned a 3.5 household coverage rating, averaging 3,444,706 viewers, according to the Nielsen Company. Those numbers were down from last year’s 3.6 rating with 6.8 million viewers. Overall, the 10 Chase races on ESPN had a rating average of 2.7 with 4.2 million viewers, compared to a 3.1 rating and 4.763 million viewers last year.

Bright future for Elliot For Chase Elliott, the teenage son of NASCAR veteran Bill Elliott, the future – immediate and longer term – is looking as promising as ever. When Elliott shows up at Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola, Fla., next week to begin preparations for the 45th annual Snowball Derby, he’ll be in the unique position of being the defending winner of one of the premiere short track races in America, but also still a teenager. Elliott, who will turn 17 on Wednesday, already has won some of short track racing’s biggest events, including the Winchester 400 at Winchester Speedway in Indiana and a Late Model race at North Wilkesboro Speedway. And he’s the youngest winner in the history of the Snowball Derby, a race that has been won by some of NASCAR’s best racers including Darrell Waltrip, Donnie Allison, Pete Hamilton, Jody Ridley and Kyle Busch. Elliott has raced at Five Flags several times this summer and feels he’s in position to contend for the win again. “I’m always excited to get to race at Five Flags,” said Elliott, one of the track’s former champions. “We learned some things racing there this year, and I feel like we’ve got as good a shot at winning as anybody.” Elliott also is anxious to see if NASCAR’s decision to lower the minimum age for drivers in the Camping World Truck Series to 16 at road courses and ovals less than 1.1 miles will lead to some truck races for him next year.

He was the race engineer for all five of Jimmie Johnson’s Sprint Cup championships, and he’s been involved in racing for most of his life. His first racing experiences were as a crew member for his father Roger and brother Steve on the short tracks of the Midwest. “We had an old barn in back of our house with a concrete pad for the car,” said Ives, a 33-year-old native of Bark River, Mich. “The earliest job I can remember was cleaning the car. I was five or six years old, and small, and could crawl around and clean the car. Then I swept everything out.” From there, he eventually drove some himself, with a fair amount of success. “If I showed up, I was a threat to be fast, contending for wins and in the points chase,” he said. JR Motorsports also announced that it likely will field just one full-time car next year, as no sponsor has been signed to back Cole Whitt, who raced for JR Motorsports this year along with Danica Patrick, who is moving to a full-time Cup ride next year. Team co-owner Dale Earnhardt Jr. is set to run a limited number of Nationwide Series races for JR Motorsports next year.

Patrick announces divorce NASCAR’s Danica Patrick announced on her Facebook page last week that she’s divorcing her husband, Paul Hospenthal. ‘’I am sad to inform my fans that after seven years, Paul and I have decided to amicably end our marriage,’’ she said. ‘’This isn’t easy for either of us, but mutually it has come to this. He has been an important person and friend in my life and that’s how we will remain moving forward.’’ Hospenthal, a physiDanica Patrick cal therapist who met (NASCAR photo) his future wife while treating her for a yoga injury, is 47. Patrick is 30. Also last week, Patrick received the 2012 Nationwide Series Most Popular Driver Award, which is determined by online voting by race fans.

Townley joins Red Horse team Camping World Truck Series driver John Wes Townley said last week that he’ll be driving a truck for Red Horse Racing next season. Townley, 22, said he’ll essentially take over the No. 7 team that fielded trucks for John King and Parker Kligerman this season. King won at Daytona, and Kligerman was victorious at Talladega. Townley said he believes he, too, can win in the Red Horse truck, which is owned by Tom DeLoach, a former Mobil 1 executive and fellow Georgia native. DeLoach is from Statesboro, while Townley is from Watkinsville, but it was in DeLoach’s hometown that Townley’s father Tony and his partner Zach McLeroy founded the Zaxby’s restaurant chain that will sponsor Townley’s truck. John Wes Townley, who was criticized early in his career for crashing trucks fairly frequently, had a solid season in 2012. He failed to finish just two races, had two top-10 finishes and eight more of 16th or better in 21 starts. “I feel like I did what I needed to do this year, which was finish races and get experience,” Townley said. “Now the goal is to go out there and win some races, and I think I can do it.” Townley also said he’s hoping to make several Nationwide Series starts next season.

NUMERICALLY

“I was definitely excited when I heard about that,” he said, adding that his participation in the series would have to be approved by Hendrick Motorsports, where he’s been signed as a developmental driver, and by Aaron’s, his primary sponsor. “It depends on whether they think it’s the right thing to do, but it’s definitely an option.” Elliott’s 2013 plans, which are uncertain at this point, also could include some ARCA events.

Burton has surgery NASCAR driver Jeff Burton had surgery last week to alleviate symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. “After feeling some recurring symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome, my physician and I decided routine surgery would be best for this situation,” Burton said in a release from his Richard Childress Racing team. “There is no such thing as an off-season in this sport, so I wanted to get it done as soon as possible to be ready for my Caterpillar Visitors Center appearance with Richard [Childress] early next month. Plus, we have many test sessions planned in December with the No. 31 Chevrolet team in preparation for the 2013 season with my new crew chief Luke Lambert. “I will be ready to go.” Burton is coming off two of the most disappointing seasons of his career. He hasn’t won a race since 2008, posted just two top-five finishes in each of the past two seasons and finished 20th and 19th in the points standings.

WHO’S TO BLAME THIS TIME? continued from pg 1 ''I didn't mean changing playcalling duties and all that,'' Johnson said. ''I may have said it, but what I meant to say was audible and giving Fitz the audible a little more.'' Johnson said he should have chosen his words more carefully, and can appreciate why his comments could be perceived as challenging Gailey. He blamed himself, saying he spoke the heat of the moment following a loss that all but mathematically ended the Bills' chances of making the playoffs. ''It's all frustration,'' Johnson said. ''I was just frustrated because I know what was at stake playing against Indianapolis, playing against an AFC opponent and feeling like we need to take their spot. And then they beat us.'' The Bills (4-7) have lost four of five and fallen to the fringes of the playoff race in preparing to host Jacksonville (2-9) on Sunday. Gailey played down the stir the comments created, saying he understands Johnson's intention. ''I know where he's coming from. Stevie just wants to win,'' he said. ''If you know a guy, you know where his heart is. Even though he might not have said it exactly right, you know where his heart is. And I know Stevie.'' Whatever Johnson meant to say, he did get at least one thing right. Something's got to change to a Gailey-designed, Fitzpatrick-run offense that's been sputtering at best and has lacked finish for much of the past two months. Buffalo has topped 310 yards on offense and scored more than 19 points just twice in its past seven games.

The offense has been particularly lethargic in the red zone over its past eight games. In their last 25 drives that entered an opponent's 20, the Bills have scored nine touchdowns and settled for 12 field goals. Against Indianapolis, Buffalo was limited to scoring a touchdown and two field goals on three red-zone opportunities. The lack of production is what sparked Johnson's outburst following the game, when he said: ''I think we need to let our quarterback call these plays. He's out there on the field. He sees the adjustments that need to be done.'' Johnson then added: ''I think that (Fitzpatrick) has the ability to control the offense 100 percent. I think we should take advantage of that.'' This marked the second time in three weeks Johnson's been perceived to question Gailey's play-calling decisions. Following a 37-31 loss at New

England on Nov. 11, Johnson second-guessed why rookie T.J. Graham — and not a more established receiver — was the intended targeted when Fitzpatrick threw an interception in the end zone in the final seconds. Johnson on Monday said he would never question Gailey because he owes his success to the coach. After riding the bench for much of his first two seasons in Buffalo, Johnson finally got his shot in 2010, Gailey's first season. Ever since, the former seventh-round draft pick blossomed into the team's No. 1 receiver, which led to him signing a five-year, $36.25 million contract in March. ''I'm not questioning my coach,'' Johnson said. ''I've got too much respect for him to go about it the way it's perceived to be. So everything's good.'' Fitzpatrick was put into the position of having to defend both his coach and receiver.

The quarterback said he's comfortable with the freedom Gailey provides him to call plays when opportunities present themselves. As for Johnson, Fitzpatrick accepted the receiver's explanation. ''I know, this morning, he was a little distraught because he felt like what he was saying got misconstrued as he was questioning Chan,'' Fitzpatrick said. ''And that's not the point that he was trying to get across. But you can ask him. He loves Chan.'' NOTES: DE Chris Kelsay's status is uncertain after the 10year veteran aggravated a neck injury against Indianapolis. ... Gailey called it ''touch and go'' whether DE Mark Anderson (left knee) and cornerback Aaron Williams (right knee) will be ready this week. Anderson has missed six games and Williams three. ... Buffalo has converted six of 25 third-down chances in its past two games.

Jaguars Eager To Build On 1st Win In 2 Months By Mark Long Associated Press

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Until Sunday, the Jacksonville Jaguars hadn't held a second-half lead at home all season. No wonder it nearly caused problems. Moments after Cecil Shorts III caught a pass from Chad Henne and raced 59 yards to give the Jaguars a 14-6 lead in the third quarter against Tennessee, two offensive linemen tried to jump into the stands to celebrate. Luckily for the Jaguars, rookie guard Mike Brewster was unable to leap the wall. Officials warned coach Mike Mularkey that his team nearly drew a penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct. ''I did not know there was a rule that you couldn't have more than one guy do the leap,'' Mularkey said Monday. ''It's a good problem.'' One the Jaguars (2-9) would gladly welcome again as they try to build on their 24-19 victory Sunday that snapped a seven-game losing streak. They play at Buffalo (4-7) on Sunday, trying to start a winning streak. For Mularkey, it's a return to where he got his first headcoaching job. For Chad Henne, it's the first of four consecutive games against his former division, the AFC East, and a chance to keep the offense moving in

the right direction. Henne completed 17 of 26 passes for 261 yards, with two touchdowns and an interception against the Titans. Not too shabby for a guy making his first start in more than 13 months. Henne's first pass was tipped and intercepted, and he was sacked seven times, but he overcame those mistakes with clutch throws to Shorts, rookie Justin Blackmon and tight end Marcedes Lewis. ''He was smart with the football,'' Mularkey said. ''He just did a good job protecting the football and giving us a chance even if we had to punt the ball. He was smart there. ... I thought his performance was very gutsy.'' Henne earned the starting job last week at Houston, where he threw for 354 yards and four touchdowns in relief

of injured starter Blaine Gabbert. Henne has a chance to keep the gig going into 2013 if he continues to play well down the stretch. But the Jaguars aren't ready to anoint Henne as the franchise quarterback just yet. After all, it's only been two games and Henne's performances surely seem better coming on the heels of Gabbert's 24 mediocre starts. ''He's made some really good plays for us,'' Mularkey said. ''He's made some good throws and some good reads for us. Players have made plays for him very well. ... He's made some throws. He's done a great job of some of the reads we've asked him to do. He, too, has things he can get better at in both games that he's played so far, but he's being very smart with the ball, especially in the

pocket. ''When it's not there, a sack is better than a sack-fumble or throw it away and get a pick. He's eliminating the worst thing that can happen on plays.'' Shorts, rookie Justin Blackmon and tight end Marcedes Lewis have benefited the most with Henne under center. Shorts has seven receptions for 186 yards and two touchdowns. Blackmon has 12 catches for 298 yards and two scores. And Lewis has hauled in seven passes for 96 yards and two TDs. ''I feel like more of an experienced quarterback,'' Henne said. ''I think you learn a lot about yourself, especially in your first four years, so I've been through a lot. Really only had two years underneath my belt as a starter, so I'm still learning a lot of things about myself and working on things that I can improve on.'' Inconsistency was Henne's main issue in Miami, so playing well over the final five games could be the difference between locking up the starting spot and leaving the Jaguars still looking for answers at quarterback. ''I think a lot of it has been confidence,'' Mularkey said. ''I am happy that he is performing like he is right now. We brought him in here was to do what he's doing right now.''

NEW YORK (AP) — Comments on the Buffalo Bills by the AP Pro32 panel (ranking in parentheses):

BUFFALO BILLS (23)

Chris Berman (ESPN, 23) — Four of last five at home finally. Clifton Brown (Sporting News, 25) — Play-calling, defense, turnovers — something always seems to be amiss. Cris Collinsworth (NBC Sports, 23) Rich Gannon (CBS Sports/ SiriusXM NFL Radio, 26) — Never good when your star wide receiver starts questioning the head coach who just happens to be the play caller. Bob Glauber (Newsday, 22) — Chan Gailey still thinks

there's a chance for a playoff run, but his team's performance sure indicates otherwise. Rick Gosselin (Dallas Morning News, 24) — In the four games since the bye, QB Ryan Fitzpatrick has not thrown a touchdown pass longer than 3 yards. Clark Judge (CBSSports.com, 21) — Nope, there's no truth to the rumor that Stevie Johnson will coach this team. Ira Kaufman (Tampa Tribune, 25) — These phony Bills lack star quality. Pat Kirwan (SiriusXM NFL Radio/CBSSports.com, 23) — Once before the year is out I want to see CJ Spiller get 30 carries and five receptions. Can he deliver, will he run out of gas? I just want to see it. Continued on pg 10

Bonnies Men’s Basketball Fend Off Rival Niagara In Rochester Contributed Article

St. Bonaventure Sports Information

ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Demitrius Conger and Marquise Simmons each produced doubledoubles to help St. Bonaventure fend off Niagara for an 80-75 victory on Saturday at Blue Cross Arena. Conger connected on two free throws with 30.8 seconds remaining to break a 75-75 tie and the senior drained three more from the foul line after a Michael Davenport steal in the final seconds to secure the win for the Bonnies (3-1). Conger turned in a solid all-around performance with 18 points, 10 rebounds and five assists for SBU, which also received 12 points and a career-best 12 rebounds from Simmons. Chris Johnson tied his career-high with 19 points and Eric Mosley also reached double figures in scoring with 11 points for the Bonnies. Bona led by as many as eight points in the second half and never trailed after a 3-pointer by Johnson tied the score at 35 with 18:59 remaining. But Niagara (2-3) twice rallied to tie the game in the final minutes, as Antione Mason's 3-pointer with 58 seconds to play knotted the score at 75. St. Bonaventure regained the lead on free throws after Conger was fouled going for an offensive rebound. Davenport then stripped Niagara's T.J. Cline in the post with six seconds remaining and Conger canned 3 of 4 free throws following a personal foul on Marvin Jordan and technical foul assessed to the

Purple Eagles' bench. The Bonnies trailed at the half for the first time this season, but they took control in the second half with the help of hot perimeter shooting and rugged rebounding. Bona made seven of its 14 3-point attempts in the second half and out-rebounded Niagara 43-36 for the game. Johnson drained a pair of 3-pointers early in the second half to ignite the Bonnies, who had fallen behind by seven points during the first 20 minutes. A 10-2 run that included 3-pointers from Mosley and Conger gave SBU a 56-48 cushion with 10:25 remaining. The Bonnies led 67-60 after a Simmons lay-up and 73-67 on a Johnson jumper with three minutes left.

Johnson and Mosley each drilled 3-of-6 3-pointers for Bonaventure, which was 10-for23 from long range as a team. The Bonnies also capitalized on their free throw attempts, going 18-of-21. Conger was 9-for-10 on free throws. Simmons' aggressiveness on the glass led to seven offensive rebounds and Bona had 18 offensive boards as a team, which led to extra trips to the foul line. Simmons logged his first career double-double, while Conger recorded his ninth career double-double and first since going for 22 points and 10 rebounds against Massachusetts in last season's Atlantic 10 Tournament semifinals. Mason netted 19 points and Ameen Tanksley

had 16 to help Niagara stay close. The Purple Eagles took a 12-11 lead on two Tanksley free throws midway through the first half and didn't trail again until the early minutes of the second half. Niagara scored seven straight points to gain a 25-18 lead, its largest of the first half, and led 33-32 at intermission. The Bonnies continue their non-conference schedule at Ohio at 7 p.m. Wednesday. Notes: Davenport, who missed most of last season with a shoulder injury, posted season highs in points (8) and minutes played (15). The last time the redshirt senior scored as many as eight points was against Arkansas State on Dec. 1, 2011 … Simmons' previous career high in rebounds was nine, which he had recorded twice … SBU snapped a six-game losing streak at Blue Cross Arena dating back to 2002 and improved to 7-11 all-time at the downtown Rochester venue … the Bonnies have won the last two meetings against Niagara, marking the first time since 2001 they have recorded back-to-back victories in the Little Three series … Bonaventure made 10 3-pointers for the first time since draining that many in a double overtime victory against Saint Joseph's on Feb. 29, 2012. The last time the Bonnies had as many as 10 3-pointers in a regulation game was Dec. 4, 2010, when they canned 11 in a victory over Buffalo … Johnson, who has tied his career high with 19 points in each of the last three games, has scored in double figures in three straight outings for the second time in his Bonaventure career. The other time he did it was last season against St. Francis, Pa. (19 points), Niagara (11) and George Washington (15).

Behrend (1-2) was led by Burke's 17 points. The Devils held a 37-30 advantage in rebounds and forced 32 Behrend turnovers. The Devil reserves outscored the Lions bench players, 21-0. Last Tuesday, Hebert set the Fredonia State single-game scoring record with 36 points in a 91-60 victory over D'Youville. Grace Moore added 16 points

and Jillian Brunswick had 11 for the Blue Devils. Hebert was 14 of 19 from the field, including 3 of 6 from beyond the arc. She came into the game averaging 18 points per game. Prior to Tuesday, Sarah Adkins and Amanda Neamon shared the single-game record based on record dating back to the 1986-87 season. Adkins scored 32 points vs. Medaille

on Jan. 24, 1998. Neamon matched the figure vs. Cortland on Feb. 19, 2005. Up by only seven at the half, 41-34, the Devils caught fire in the second half, outscoring the Spartans, 52-26. Included was a string of six straight points by Hebert. She had a layup with about five minutes to tie Adkins and Neamon, then hit a jumper on the next Fredonia State possession to set the new record. Her final basket with just over two minutes left accounted for her 35th and 36th points. The Spartans had three in double digits with Danette Laguerre leading the way with 15. Shannon Dougherty added 11 and Alexis Smith had 10. Warren had nine rebounds, nine points, and eight assists for the Blue Devils (4-1), who open up SUNYAC play vs. New Paltz and Oneonta next weekend in Steele Hall.

Dick Litz Memorial continued from pg 1 Following a missed three by Dixon at the 1:40 mark, the Mean Green's Laura McCoy stepped back and knocked down a deep three to cut the lead to just one point with 1:26 remaining in regulation. After a missed one-and-one opportunity for Dixon, Sara Stanley finished a lay-in on the other end to give North Texas their first lead of the game, 55-54 with 42 seconds to play. Dixon drove quickly and grabbed the lead back for the Bonnies with a lay-up. Alexis Hyder of North Texas drew a foul on Ortega on their next possession and sank one of two free throws to tie the game. Ortega actually snagged the rebound when Hyder missed the second try but fell down and was called for a travel, giving North Texas a chance to win the game in the final 13 seconds. Laura McCoy missed a long desperation three pointer after the Bonnies played tough defense to send this one to overtime. At the end of regulation there were three Bonnies in double figures. Ashley Zahn led all scorers with 21 while Ortega and Dixon added 16 and 11 respectively. Ortega had already recorded her third double-double of the season and fifth of her career with 11 rebounds in regulation as well. In the first overtime, North

CeCe Dixon and the Bonnies dropped their third straight game as they lost to North Texas in double overtime. (St. Bonaventure Sports Information)

Texas used free throws to jump ahead to a 60-56 lead in the first fifty seconds of play. Ortega scored to cut the UNT lead to two then Dixon cut it to one when she made one of two free throws. Desiree Nelson re-established the four point North Texas lead with a three pointer with just 2:28 to play in overtime. Jordan McGee added a free throw but the Mean Green bumped their lead up to five with a lay-up by Alexis Hyder, who would finish this game a perfect 6-6 from the floor. Following a missed three by North Texas, Dixon drew a foul and made both free throws. At this stage the Bonnies were trailing 65-62 with 36 seconds remaining. Instead of fouling, the Bonnies opted to play tough defense and forced North Texas into a contested lay-up that fell off the mark. Ortega grabbed the rebound and quickly found

Dixon who sprinted down the floor. Realizing that she need three points to continue this game, Dixon adjusted her route, stepped back to the three point line and launched. Her shot would fall with 1.4 seconds left on the clock, tying the game once again. The fullcourt heave by North Texas was off the mark and the game headed to a second overtime. This time it was the Bonnies who struck first when Dixon connected with a lay-in on the Bonnies first possession. North Texas didn't wait around however, scoring on their next two possessions to grab a two-point lead. The two teams held each other scoreless over the next three minutes. Alexis Hyder broke the drought with a jumper, giving UNT a four-point lead, 7167 with one minute remaining in overtime number two. Dixon drew a foul and hit a pair of free throws to cut the lead to

two with 31 seconds left. Sara Stanley would get fouled by Jordan McGee in an attempt to stop the clock. Stanley made one of two free throws. Dixon drew yet another foul with 20 seconds left. She drained both tries, cutting the North Texas lead to just one, 72-71. Nyla Rueter subbed in and fouled Desiree Nelson with 11 seconds left on the clock. Nelson missed both free throws and Dixon, who scored the final 11 points for the Bonnies, secured the ball and drove straight to the basket. Her contested lay-up would not fall. St. Bonaventure had lost its third straight. Many career and season highs were set among St. Bonaventure players despite the loss.

The Sabres will continue to maintain contact with all season-ticket holders and mini-pack holders regarding the work stoppage and ticket refunds due to missed games. As previously communicated, the Sabres will offer the following options to our season ticket holders and mini pack holders who have purchased tickets for the 2012-13 season:

He said Serota was removed "to immediately dispel any cloud on the mediation process, and without regard to the merits of the allegations." Hockey players and management have not negotiated since last Wednesday. The NHL has canceled more than one-third of its regular season, including all games through Dec. 14, the New Year's Day outdoor Winter Classic and the All-Star weekend scheduled for Jan. 26-27 at Columbus, Ohio. "I have had separate, informal discussions with the key representatives of the National Hockey League and the National Hockey League Players' Association during the course of their negotiations for a successor collective bargaining agreement," Cohen said in a statement. "Due to the extreme sensitivity of these negotiations and consistent with the FMCS's longstanding practice, the agency will refrain from any public comment concerning the future schedule and/or the status of the negotiations until further notice." Beckenbaugh was a mediator during the 2004-05 lockout, a stoppage that caused cancellation of the entire season.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Rookie forward Brian Flynn’s first career hat trick helped give the Rochester Americans a 5-2 victory over the Albany Devils on Friday night at The Blue Cross Arena in front of 8,781 fans.

The Devils cut the deficit in half at 14:44 in the second period as Steve Zalewski banged home a loose puck for his first goal of the season to make it a 2-1 game. Mattias Tedenby attempted a centering pass from behind the net, but his bid caromed off Leggio’s left foot and came to rest in the crease, allowing Zalweski to poke it over the goal-line for the tally. Tim Sestito was also credited with an assist on the goal. Rochester regained its twogoal lead with 24 seconds remaining in the second period on a short-handed goal by Brennan. Mark Mancari fed captain Kevin Porter, who had Brennan trailing for a 2-on1. Porter moved it over to Brennan on the right side, and the defenseman deposited the pass past Frazee.

AMERKS RECALL PAIR FROM GREENVILLE

The Amerks announced earlier this week that the team has recalled defensemen Drew Schiestel and Matt MacKenzie from the Greenville Road Warriors of the ECHL. Schiestel has appeared in three games with the Amerks and three games with Greenville this season. He was selected by the Sabres with the 59th overall pick in the second round of the 2007 NHL Entry Draft. MacKenzie has appeared in nine games with the Amerks this season, recording one assist and 23 penalty minutes. In two games with Greenville, he scored one goal. MacKenzie was selected by the Buffalo Sabres in the third round (83rd overall) of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft.

A ‘FLYNN-TASTIC’

NOVEMBER

After recording just one point through his first seven games of the season, first-year forward Brian Flynn has been the Amerks’ most productive and consistent player since the American Hockey League opened play in November. In eight games this month, Flynn has registered an astounding 14 points (7+7) and is averaging 1.75 points per game over his current eight-game point streak, which began with an assist in Rochester’s 3-2 win over Hamilton on Nov. 2. More impressively, however, Flynn has compiled four multi-point outings during that stretch, including three of his last five appearances that was highlighted by a careerhigh four-point effort (3+1) against Albany on Friday as he recorded his first career hat trick. The Amerks are also 4-1-0-0 this season when Flynn scores a goal.

BRENNAN HALFWAY THERE With two more goals in Rochester’s 5-2 triumph over Albany on Friday, Brennan is

on pace to shatter Rick Pagnutti’s 40-year-old franchise record for most goals scored by a defenseman in a singleseason. Pagnutti set the mark during the 1972-73 campaign, his first in Rochester, when he netted 18 goals en route to a 55-point season, which led all Amerks defensemen and placed him third on the team in overall scoring. Brennan oﬃcially reached the halfway point with a pair of shorthanded tallies on Friday to bring his season total to nine through just 16 games this season. The fourth-year blueliner fell just two short of the record last season, scoring 16 goals in only 52 games with the Amerks.

TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT

After posting back-to-back 3-2 losses to Abbotsford and Binghamton last weekend, the Amerks have seen nine of their first 16 games of the season decided by one goal, including three straight one-goal contests to begin the month of November. Rochester is 4-4-1-0 in one-goal games this season

after finishing the 2011-12 campaign with 42 such outings last season. Of those nine one-goal games, three have been determined in overtime or via the shootout, for a 2-0-1-0 mark.

BY THE NUMBERS

The Amerks are 3-3-0-0 (6 points) this season against North Division rivals, but show a 6-3-1-0 (13 points) mark versus non-divisional foes. The second period has been Rochester’s strong suit thus far as the club has accounted for 23 goals while allowing 15. The Amerks have scored the first goal in 12 of the first 16 games of the campaign and show a 7-4-1-0 record when doing so, including a 4-2-0-0 mark at home. Rochester is also 7-1-0-0 when leading after two periods, a streak that also shows an unblemished 4-00-0 mark at home. Coming off a season-high 51 shots on goal at Binghamton on Nov. 17, the Amerks are averaging 32.44 shots per game, the fifth-highest output among league opponents.

Tales of The Opening Weekend By Tacks Call

Star Outdoors Writer

Typically I take off the last Friday of archery season and spend that last day bowhunting before the orange army — this is a term of endearment to me, I love gun season, too — hits the woods. This year was different, as I’d taken a buck already and decided to chill out on Friday rather than hunt. You know, the way we used to before New York State changed the gun opener to Saturday and ruined what used to be a nice relaxing weekend at camp. Quick rant: Back when the opener was Monday, you could come down to camp Friday night or even Saturday morning and spend the weekend relaxing — doing whatever chores needed doing or taking a stroll in the woods and hanging a stand or two if you we so inclined. That night you could drink whatever it is you drink and play cards with your buddies because you didn’t have to be up and coherent at the crack of dawn until Monday. But, no, now it’s ALL BUSINESS. You come down Friday night, get all your stuff ready to jump in to in the morning, and get in bed. No drinking, no cards, no heading to town for wings, no fun. I miss those

two days of decompressing from bow season before the Monday opener, and that’s the general consensus of most hunters I know, gun and bow alike. Rant over. This year I headed down to camp Thursday night to watch the Bills play Miami in the NFL Network game. Lo and behold we spanked them and all of a sudden had a reasonable look at the playoff. Thankfully the Colts crushed that dream and we no longer have to consider giving up any

precious woods time to watch this team. But I digress. Saturday morning was absolutely perfect. Temperature below 30, barely a breeze, nice frost on the ground, everything you want in an opener — save for a couple inches of snow. I was on a piece of property that some good friends are kind enough to let me hunt. It’s a beautiful piece of land with agricultural fields on both sides and a wide, slow creek winding through it.

The kind of place where you expect to see deer, and see deer I did! I had a group of five does come through early, just after shooting light (which was about 6:28 a.m. for somebody but I’ll assume that was a misfire). I took one of those that dressed out at 150 pounds on the nose, a monster for these parts. First deer with my .35 Rem lever action, so that was cool. Later in the morning I had a grouse hit the ground right at the base of my tree and feed off. Mallards were crashing in to the creek off and on all morning startling me back in to consciousness. Deer were moving most of the day, however I didn’t see a buck. I didn’t see another human being either, which was awesome. All in all it was a fantastic day in the woods. Hope you all had a safe and successful opener as well. Feel free to send your pictures into tacks.call@gmail.com along with a little back story too if you please, we’ll publish as many as we can. Tacks Call is an avid outdoorsmen with countless years of experience. He doesn’t want to come across as some expert, just a regular schmoe who hunts and fishes in the area.

reaLiGNMeNt takeS SHaPe QUickLY continued from pg 1 conference regrouped after the latest defection. Boise State and San Diego State, currently in the Mountain West, are set to join for football only starting in 2013, anchoring the Big East's new West Division. Also on schedule to join next season are current C-USA members SMU, Houston, Memphis and Central Florida. Navy has committed to join the Big East for football in 2015. The conference had planned to find a 14th member to balance out its divisions even before Rutgers left. BYU and Air Force were top targets for that spot. Aresco said that the Big East could even expand to 16 members, depending on what schools are available.

''We have to let that play out,'' he said. Officials from San Diego State and Boise State have said they are still committed to joining the Big East. Boise State President Robert Kustra reiterated that position in a statement Tuesday. ''The Big East is proactively responding to the national changes in conference affiliations, and Boise State remains committed to building and competing in a strong Big East future,'' he said. Boise State and SDSU officials have expressed a desire for the conference to add more schools out West. ''We absolutely will be looking at some western schools,'' Aresco said.

The Big East's membership also includes seven schools, including Georgetown and St. John's, that either do not have football teams or don't compete at the FBS level, but have helped it become a premier basketball conference. Tulane seems an odd choice based on the school's recent performance in football and men's basketball, the two most prominent sports. The Green Wave haven't been to a bowl game since 2002 and last made the NCAA men's basketball tournament in 1995. Tulane just completed a 2-10 football season under first-year coach Curtis Johnson. It hasn't always been this way for Tulane. Cowen said in the decade before Hurricane Ka-

trina devastated the school in 2005, forcing it to shut down for a semester, Tulane won more sports championships than any program in C-USA. Cowen said it took three years for the university to fully recover. ''Once we recovered financially and academically, we invested heavily in athletics,'' he said. He said the school has sunk $125 million into the athletic department for facilities and coaches. Tulane will open a new on-campus football stadium in 2014, which the school hopes will rejuvenate interest in the team. The Green Wave currently play their home football games in the Superdome but have struggled to draw fans. Tulane's average attendance for home games was 18,085 this season. The Big East has been trying to gather as many major television markets as possible and New Orleans comes in at 53rd-largest in the country. Tulane also provides a regional rival for Memphis. East Carolina has been a consistent winner in football and looked to get in the Big East for years. The Pirates have played in a bowl five out of the last six years and finished 8-4 this season, just missing out on a trip to the C-USA title game. The Pirates also have no problem drawing fans, with an average attendance of more than 47,000 per home game. Holland said East Carolina's next step is to find an ''equally exciting and competitive environment for the 18 sports other than football.''

DEC Proposes Limits on Phosphorus Discharges for Chautauqua Lake Contributed Article Department of Environmental Conservation

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) submitted its proposal for limiting the amount of phosphorus discharged into Chautauqua Lake to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), DEC Commissioner Joe Martens announced. The proposed limits to foster compliance with water quality standards, known as a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL), are required under the federal Clean Water Act. "Chautauqua Lake is a western New York treasure that in recent years had beach closures due to algae blooms triggered by excessive phosphorus in the lake," Commissioner Martens said. "This summer was a particularly bad one for the lake, with beach closures and numerous complaints of algal blooms, including toxic blue-green blooms. This TMDL provides a specific program to improve the lake's water quality." Since 2004, DEC has identified Chautauqua Lake as a waterbody not meeting water quality standards and needing a TMDL to bring it into compliance. DEC prepared the TMDL and submitted it to EPA for its approval. EPA has 30 days to approve or modify the TMDL.

A TMDL specifies the maximum amount of a pollutant that a waterbody can receive and still meet water quality standards. TMDLs account for all contributing sources which include point sources such as wastewater treatment plants and nonpoint sources such as agricultural runoff, and natural background levels. The TMDL also account for seasonal variations in the Dat pollutant load and incorNov porates a margin of safety that considers unknown or Dec unexpected sources of the Dec pollutant. Dec The federal Clean Water Act Dec (CWA) requires states to de- Dec velop TMDLs for waterbodies identified as not meeting Dec water quality standards. The TMDL process allocates Jan required reductions in pol- Jan lutant loadings to specific Jan sources to bring waters into Jan compliance. Under the CWA, Jan states are required to submit Jan proposed TMDLs to the EPA Jan for approval. Feb Among other actions, the Feb TMDL requires the three Feb largest wastewater treatment Feb plants serving the Chautauqua Heights Sewer District, North Chautauqua Lake Sewer District and Chautauqua Utility District, all in Dat the Town of Chautauqua, to Dec implement relatively low-cost Dec chemical addition to remove Dec phosphorus by next summer. Dec More significant treatment upgrades would be required Dec Dec by 2018.

NeW DeaL DoNe continued from pg 4 Longoria played in just 74 games in 2012 because of a partially torn left hamstring. He underwent a minor surgical cleanup procedure on the hamstring Nov. 20 and is expected to be ready for spring training. ''With the time that we had now, there's no doubt that I'd be able to recover and be at 100 percent or close to it by (the start of) spring training,'' Longoria said. Longoria will rehab the leg during the winter and will not participate in next year's World Baseball Classic. Tampa Bay was 41-44 during Longoria's absence, and 47-27 with him in the starting lineup. The two-time AL Gold Glove winner and 2008 AL Rookie of the Year ranks second on the Rays career list with 130 home runs, third with 456 RBIs and fourth with 161 doubles. Longoria is one of 11 active players to average at least 25 homers and 90 RBIs during his first five seasons. Longoria will donate more
