The Living Christmas Tree has representatives from about 20 different churches in the surrounding area, and 65 singers total that will be in the actual tree structure.

A couple of weeks ago, I talked about being grateful at every time of the year. So in order to ‘practice what I preach,’ as they say, I am going to share with you what I am most grateful for. Although I am stating my gratitude at the very time of year that you would expect, I assure you that I am grateful for this year round, and I hope that my thankfulness shows every day of the year, not just the week of thanksgiving. This year, more so than any other year, I am thankful for my family. I have been abundantly blessed with a family that is not limited to those I am blood related to. If you would rather not be subject to some very mushy words about the fantastic people in my life, consider this your opportunity to opt out of reading this article, because that is exactly what it is going to be. I have always been grateful for the family that I was born into. My parents have been supportive of every good endeavor that I have ever taken on, and I have never doubted their support. Notice that I say every ‘good’ endeavor. I say this because, unlike many parents nowadays, my parents raised me. I was not allowed to do everything I wanted. In high school, I really didn’t have a social life. As a teenager, I didn’t understand, but now I am so grateful for this. The same reason that I was not allowed to hang out with many of my schoolmates, is the very reason that I was spared many hardships. Unlike most 20 something-year-olds, I can honestly say that I never once drank alcohol or did drugs. I have been the classic ‘good girl’ for my whole life, and I am proud of that title. None of that would have been possible if not for good parents, and good siblings who convinced me that none of that normal ‘teenage stuﬀ ’ was worth my time. Having a good family, that despite my awkward years, and rebellious teenage moments, stuck with the discipline and helped me to not go into my marriage, or my life as a mommy, with any regrets. Take courage, if you are a parent who thinks you have a rebellious teen that could grow up to hate you one day. We had our moments, but now that I am older, I cannot put into words how happy I am that I never experienced the things of this world.

My family and I are still very close, quite literally. My husband and I live next door to my parents, and are raising our children in the house that I grew up in. Joshua, who turns three this week, will be blowing out his birthday candles at the same countertop that I did when I turned three. Andrew will someday take his first steps on the very floors where I learned to walk on my own. There’s just something that is so precious about this to me. Sorry to be so sappy, but sometimes it is good to make yourself cry just because you have so much joy. My goal is also to make both of my mothers cry while reading this, which is a perfectly attainable goal. Though there is no blood link between us, the other mother that I mentioned is my mother-in-law. Her and my father-in-law are like ‘bonus parents’ to me. Unlike the stereotype, we are incredibly close, and I love that we are able to joke and laugh together. They are always available for a Wal-Mart run when one of their grandbabies needs something, and they are invaluable babysitters. Awesome with both of our children, I know that our kids will grow up with terrific memories of their childhood, as a result of having not just one, but two sets of grandparents that are crazy about them. Especially with two kids now, I have come to appreciate my ‘bonus mom’ more than I ever thought I could. Not to say that I didn’t love her already, but you rarely hear positive talk about inlaws. My husband’s mother spends at least five hours a week with me and the boys, and I enjoy every minute of it. It is such a blessing to have a good relationship with them, and to live so close. From the very moment that I met my husband’s family, I have always felt included, and like I was part of their family. Not just the woman who married their son, but a daughter to them. There are many other people that I am blessed to know in my life, but there are many other opportunities throughout the year to tell them, too. Many are not family, but close friends that have become family All donations to the Arctic Hillbillies’ Polar Bear Plunge will to me. go to benefit the Special Olympics of Western New York Whoever your ‘family’ is, make sure that you let them know how grateful you are to have them in your life. It doesn’t have to be on thanksgiving, and you don’t have to publish it, but make sure that they know. Not one of us are in this world alone, so appreciate 320 Maple Avenue, the people that you’ve been Cassadaga, NY 14718 given. e-mail us at fbs@netsync.net

THANKFUL FOR ‘FAMILY’

response to small business owners’ most pressing need, more customers, and has since grown into an annual celebration of the independent businesses that help boost our local economies. “Small-business owners are always looking for new ways to creatively promote their products and services — especially in a tough economy,” Dan Danner, NFIB president and CEO, said in a press release. “Small Business Saturday is a reminder of how important the small-business sector is to our economy and why it’s so important to Shop Small all year around.” Findings from the survey also uncover the lengths to which small businesses are ready to go to promote their activities on Small Business Saturday. Among those that plan to incorporate Small Business Saturday into their holiday promotions: •75 percent say the day would be more effective if communities participated together by hosting events. •39 percent are planning to collaborate with other small businesses in a community event to promote Small Business Saturday. •33 percent rely on social media most to promote Small Business Saturday to their customers. The Small Business Saturday Insights Survey was created to provide a window into holiday planning for small business owners. Other key survey findings include: •67 percent will offer discounts on specific items or general discounts on the day. •36 percent will offer coupons for future offers or discounts. •32 percent are starting their holiday promotions earlier than last year. •21 percent are planning to increase the number of employees working on Small Business Saturday.

This week:

Business Saturday, the day will be a part of their promotional calendar. Of those small-business owners incorporating Small Business Saturday into their holiday plans, 70 percent say Small Business Saturday will be helpful in attracting new customers. Small Business Saturday has become an important fi xture on the business calendar for merchants and an increasing number are investing more money and providing additional incentives to reach customers, according to the organizations. Even as social media and word of mouth remain the top methods for business owners to reach customers with their Small Business Saturday offerings, the number of business owners who say they will rely primarily on paid advertising (TV, radio and newspaper) to promote Small Business Saturday has doubled (18 percent versus 9 percent in 2012). Discounts continue to be the top incentive used to encourage consumers to Shop Small, but more business owners nationwide are planning to reward customers by offering them a free gift with purchase (33 percent, up from 20 percent in 2012). The busy holiday season often demands a more robust workforce; a large number of business owners are looking to their local communities to hire the help they need to meet consumer demand this holiday season. Nearly 73 percent of local small business owners aware of Small Business Saturday said they make it a point to hire employees from their neighborhoods. Small Business Saturday, now in its fourth year, falls between Black Friday and Cyber Monday and serves as the traditional kickoff to the holiday season for independent retailers and restaurateurs.

RELIGION SECTION Keeping the Faith

Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church Fredonia fcfredonia.org

Dear Pastor, what does walking in love mean? Last week we examined of the concept “walking in love” by using 1 Corinthians 13:4…”Love suﬀers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puﬀed up.” We saw that this part of the scripture tells us to maintain a patient and tolerant attitude towards others. This week we will continue the study with verse 13:5, “Does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil.” While there is so much we could say about this verse, I will focus on two major revelations that will

help anyone in their love walk. The first is about “not seeking their own.” Another way to say this…don’t be selfish! In my years of ministry, I’ve seen troubling situations between spouses, family members, co-workers, and friends. Inevitably, when you get rid of the fluff, you find that the root of the confl ict involves someone being selfish. I’ve seen selfishness disguised in comments like “its only fair”, “it’s the principle of the thing”, “if you loved me…”, or “I deserve it”; anything that puts ones needs or wants above another persons. Aren’t we glad that Jesus Christ did not put His comfort

above our need of redemption when He went to the cross! Often, being selﬁsh involves the need to “win”, regardless of the cost to the other person or the relationship. Dr. Phil, of T.V. fame, often asks a selﬁsh show guest, “Do you want to be right? Or do you want to be happy?” Being other-centered rather than selfcentered sometimes costs (short term) in pride, but it gains (long term) in relationship happiness. Isn’t that more important? Another important revelation from 1 Corinthians 13:5 is that we should “think no evil.” This means that we should give some-

body the benefit of the doubt when presented with a potential offense. There are many times when a careless word or comment gives us the “opportunity” to get mad or annoyed. Holding on to this offense can create bad thoughts about that person. Rather than do this…choose to walk in love and let it go! Maybe the person had a bad day or has troubles. I always say, “hurting people, hurt people.” Walking in love says that we must forgive them, not only for their benefit, but for ours! Next week…More on 1 Corinthians 13.

The Weekly Word

Rev. Tim Stahlman Family Church Jamestown fcjamestown.org

Power From On High Part 2 I used to believe that when a person accepted Jesus Christ that they were ﬁ lled with all the Holy Spirit they were ever going to get. I thought that receiving the Holy Spirit happened at the time of salvation. That was what my tradition taught me but it certainly wasn’t New Testament truth. The New Testament is clear: The baptism or inﬁ lling of the Holy Spirit is a separate experience altogether from salvation. Now let me be clear: When a person accepts Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior they become Born Again or Born of the Spirit. The New Birth is a work of the Holy Spirit. They have the witness of the Spirit and the love of God is poured into their hearts. They

are made righteous in the eyes of God and receive Eternal Life. They can be led by the Spirit and pray and be heard by God. ( John 3:3,5, 1 John 5:1, Rom 5:5, Rom 8:14, 2 Cor 5:21) So in no way am I saying that someone who is Born Again is void of the Holy Spirit. However, there is a greater dynamic of the Spirit waiting for all believers. That is where the BAPTISM of the Holy Spirit comes in. I want you to see in your Bible that salvation and the baptism of the Holy Spirit are two separate experiences. Acts 8:14-17 is just one passage that makes this point clear. In the ﬁrst half of the chapter a man named Philip goes and preaches in the city of Samaria. While he is there many

people believe on the Lord and get saved. Now notice what it says starting in verse 14. “Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had RECEIVED THE WORD OF GOD they sent unto them Peter and John who when they came down prayed for them that they might RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT.” Notice it said that these Samaritans had ALREADY received the Word of God. What does that mean? It means they accepted Christ. But you must keep reading. Verse 16 says, “For as yet He (the Holy Spirit) was fallen upon none of them: ONLY they were baptized in the Name of the LORD JESUS.” Do you see that? These people had already given a public witness that they believed

in Christ. When did that happen? When Philip preached to them. Now in verse 17 it says, “Then they laid there hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit.” If it were true that you get all the Holy Spirit you will ever get at the moment of salvation then why did Peter and John have to go to these Samaritan believers? These people were saved when Philip preached but they received the Holy Spirit several days later. Salvation and receiving the Holy Spirit are two separate experiences. It was important to the apostles that these believers receive the ﬁ lling of the Spirit. Why would God want us to have any less than these Samaritan believers? A closer look next week.

To help the resurgence of Main Street businesses and stimulate the local economy, small businesses depend on the loyalty of their customers, particularly during this busy holiday shopping season. By committing to the concept of shopping Main Street, consumers help to support their local businesses, stimulate the local economy and provide a positive economic environment for other small business owners to ﬁ ll up our Main Streets. By whatever name your town designates it, Main Street USA businesses have unique holiday shopping options that can’t be found in any shopping malls. Your town may still have an old-fashioned hardware store, stocked with shelves of household goods and trinkets that haven’t been seen since Grandma’s attic. Antique stores, book stores and specialty boutiques offer unique gift ideas for the hard to buy such as Amish made toys, costume jewelry or writing supplies. If you don’t know what to purchase, consider buying gift

certiﬁcates from a favorite restaurant, ice cream shop, hair salon or coﬀee house for your loved one from a Main Street business in your area. By shopping downtown, a resident also immerses themselves back into their community, economically as well as spiritually. The otherwise empty city streets become busy with the hustle and bustle of Main Street shoppers, bringing back the familiar buzz of

a booming downtown. Neighbors become reacquainted, the elderly get out of the house and see friends, and the community reconnects as they pass each other on the streets or see one another in the stores. Citizens become aware of who the small business owners are in their communities and shop owners have the opportunity to develop business as well as personal relationships with their customers

and community. Shopping Main Street America brings a community together in many ways, as neighbors, as business owners and as citizens of a larger village. Avoid the shopping malls and superstores this holiday season and spend your Christmas money where it makes a diﬀerence, right in your own back yard on Main Street.

For folks who are looking for a place to sell their homemade or crafted product, Marotta currently has a few tables open, but emphasizes that they’re going fast.

LIVING CHRISTMAS TREE, CONTINUED FROM PG 1 in the church was inspired by a similar church performance that they attended while visiting Florida, church members got together to see how they could accomplish such a unique production. Much of the original structure is still featured in the Christmas tree, the only replacements being when a piece of wood starts to wear with age, or more space is needed in the tree for the choir.

“People who are seeing it for the ﬁrst time are really amazed to see it,” said Young, “because it is a structure that is built around the physical design of our church, so it is very unique.” Each year, volunteers have gotten together to reassemble the same Christmas tree structure and decorate it for the upcoming seasonal event. Stored in the trailer of a semi until the following year, the

Contrary to the software firewall, the hardware firewall does not allow individuals to make their own firewall rules at their computer. This provides a lower maintenance solution for security and ensures that all of the devices behind the firewall have the same security.

By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

Just because the snows are falling doesn’t mean it’s time to sleep on the high school sports scene. In fact, the winter sports season is about to kick into full swing with many area schools partaking in tournaments this weekend or next. Boys and girls basketball; boys swimming and diving; wrestling; boys and girls bowling; and boys and girls indoor track and field are all on tap in the coming winter sports season. The basketball season generally opens with tournaments throughout the county and this season is no exception. Westfield will host a boys basketball tournament beginning Friday, Nov. 29 and continuing on Saturday, Nov. 30. Other teams competiting in the Westfield Tip-off Tournament will be Falconer, Forestville, Frewsburg and Sherman. Westfield sported a solid team last season, but will have to find different scoring options this season after losing key players Jon Coe, Dylan MacCubbin, Dan Tofil and Jordan Imm to graduation. Forestville struggled to a 5-14 record last season, but head coach Ralph Jackson lost only one player to graduation and the Hornets have high hopes for the new season behind key players Wayne Harloff, Jake Nosbisch, Dylan Szumigala and others. The girls Westfield Tip-off Tournament will begin on Tuesday, Dec. 3 with the finals being held

tournament is concluding, Silver Creek will host its annual girls basketball classic, the Hae Jude Tournament. The tournament opens Friday, Dec. 6 and concludes on Saturday, Dec. 7. Silver Creek and Forestville will be among the Chautauqua County teams in the field. Tammy Rice returns for her second season as head coach of the Silver Creek girls team. She’ll be minus five players that have graduated, but returns key players Jade Lewis, Jordan Brooks and Darrien Spruce. Forestville is another team that was hit hard by graduation as Ryanne Dugan, Jessica Makuch, Sydney Youngberg, Cherish Pope and Bailey Raynor have all moved on. Alisha Szumigala will need to use

her long, athletic frame inside for the Lady Hornets to find success this season. She’ll have help from Amanda Weaver and Lynanne Woolley. Lisa Szumigala takes over head coaching duties for the first time in Forestville. There will be plenty of swimming, wrestling and bowling action throughout the week with indoor track slated to begin Friday, Dec. 6 in Lancaster for many teams. Wrestling tournaments will also highlight that weekend with Fredonia headed to the Matthew Marino Tournament and Falconer competing in the Eisenhower Tournament, among others. Be sure to check next week’s Chautauqua Star for photos and results from this weekend’s Westfield Tip-off Tournament.

Filsinger Games Brings Wrestling to life By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

Over 25 years ago, Tom Filsinger created a universe where the honorable sport of wrestling reigns supreme, where athletes from across the galaxy battle for the rights to be called champion. That universe is brought to life by Filsinger Games’ Champions of the Galaxy tabletop cards and dice game. “I created the game system in high school,” Filsinger, the company’s creator, writer and owner, said. “I was playing with wrestlers of that era. I did cards for Hulk Hogan, Macho Man Randy Savage and a lot of the wrestlers of the era. I started playing with my brother. We had feuds for the belts and all that stuff. I thought if my brother liked it, maybe it’s marketable.” “I tried to contact the World Wrestling Federation (now World Wrestling Entertainment),” he continued. “They were considering it for months and months. I was talking to Gorilla Monsoon and all these people. At this time I was in my 20s. I was pursuing my career as a college professor and was still doing the game on the side. I actually enjoyed that more. The game was more of a calling for me.” That calling not only led to the creation of Champions of the Galaxy, but Filsinger has since

added Legends of Wrestling, Ring of Honor, Combat Zone Wrestling, Championship Wrestling of Hollywood and Chikara to his stable of successful games. Over 100,000 games have been sold worldwide. “It was just Champions of the Galaxy until 1999,” Filsinger explained. “I didn’t have any licensing to do anything else. Then I met Greg ‘The Hammer’ Valentine at a show one time. I asked him if I could do a card of him. He said sure. Then I asked King Kong Bundy when I saw him. Bundy actually plays the game. There’s an interview

INSIDE THIS WEEK

with him online where he says he plays the game with his nephew. I met the Iron Shiek and Ted DiBiase. I thought if I asked enough of these guys I could put out a set of legends. That’s how Legends of Wrestling started.” The Legends of Wrestling roster contains some of the biggest names throughout the great history of professional wrestling. Curt Henning, the Road Warriors, Andre The Giants, Ivan Koloff and Hacksaw Jim Duggan are just a few of the notable names included in the game. “I have people who help me

write the game cards and people who know wrestling history better than I do,” Filsinger added. “Nature Boy Buddy Rogers wrestled in the 1950s. I don’t know his move set. We look up footage so those playing cards are as accurate as possible. The game is only as accurate as the cards make it. So we really do our homework so the game is a representation of the history of wrestling.” Filsinger has marketed his game all across the country at conventions like GenCon and Origins. He’s partnered with some of the wrestlers in his Legends of Wrestling game at these events to really get fans excited. “Duggan’s a great guy,” Filsinger said of the man known as Hacksaw. “We had him helps us at a promotion twice. Once in Columbus, Ohio and another in Detroit. He was at our table and always upbeat. People would come and play the game with him. He got to the point where he was teaching people how to play. It was fun because they could play against him with his own card.” While the Legends of Wrestling franchise is perfect for fans of old school wrestling and fans of other promotions will fall in love with the Ring of Honor or Combat Zone Wrestling versions of the game, Filsinger’s real baby is Champions of the Galaxy. coNtINUED oN pG 3

Bills Quietly Doing It The Right Way

By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

I’m going to give you a minute to think about the three most successful franchises in the National Football League —not just this season, but teams that have had prolonged success. Which teams did you come up with? It would be hard to argue with the Pittsburgh Steelers, New England Patriots and Green Bay Packers. Though I suppose I could at least consider one or two more teams. What do those three franchises have in common besides mantles full of Super Bowl titles? Well, for one, it’s probably more likely that we see a Jaguars-Buccaneers Super Bowl than any of the three fore-mentioned teams making a splashy free agent signing. Seriously, think about it. The last “big” free agent the Packers signed was Charles Woodson in 2006. But at that time Woodson was considered injury-prone and washed up. All he did in Green Bay was turn his very good career into a certain Hall of Fame career. The Patriots have made a habit of taking other teams’ trash and turning it into pure gold. Bill Belichick has made the likes of Antowain Smith and Tully Banta-Cain into legitimate NFL stars while getting serious miles from thought-to-be-washed-up stars like Junior Seau and Rosevelt Colvin. Not every organization has the patience, guts and luck to pull off moves like that. And the Steelers? If you can name the last time the Steelers signed a top free agent you’re a better man than I. Ryan Clark has been vital to their success since signing from Washington in 2006, but was he really considered a top safety at the time? Duce Staley was a stud in Philadelphia, but was pretty washed up by the time he came to Pittsburgh. coNtINUED oN pG 5

CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 2013

the Colts have no been absolutely throttled by both the Rams and the Cardinals, but have taken down the 49ers and the Seahawks? I thought the latter two were supposed to be the class of the NFC West. Now that a savage beatdown wasn’t just a one-time fluke, it’s going to be very hard to ever trust the Colts again. Yes, the Rams and Cardinals aren’t terrible teams, but neither are the Titans. Are the Titans going to open up a 40-0 lead this week? Ryan Fitzpatrick led another nice comeback for the Titans last week, so odds are high that he’s due for an absolute stinker. Buffalo fans know what I’m talking about. Andrew Luck clearly misses Reggie Wayne. If the Colts had their first-round pick, the late first round would be the perfect spot to take another big receiver for Luck, but alas, they have a mediocre running back instead. To be fair, Luck has been much better at home throughout his young career so expect him to bounce back from a subpar performance last week. PICK VS. SPREAD: Colts (-4). STRAIGHT PICK: Colts.

CHICAGO BEARS (6-5) at MINNESOTA VIKINGS (2-8)

It doesn’t look like Jay Cutler is going to be back for this one, but honestly it probably doesn’t matter. McCown is playing pretty well, it’s the Bears defense that has been costing them games. The front seven is just too small to stop the run. Oh well, it’s not like they’re playing a sure-fire Hall of Famer and the best running back of this generation this week. What was that? They are you say? Well in that case the Bears will probably fall to .500, but stay alive in the NFC North until Aaron Rodgers comes back for the Packers. Christian Ponder hasn’t absolutely stunk up the joint the past few weeks, but Adrian Peterson is clearly the workhorse on this team. He needs three more yards for another 1,000-yard season. He’s not going to approach the near-record pace he set last year, but every time he carries the ball he gets closer and closer to Canton. I really thought LaDainian Tomlinson was the last great running back we’d see, but Peterson is proving me wrong and then some. PICK VS. SPREAD: Vikings (-1). STRAIGHT PICK: Vikings.

MIAMI DOLPHINS (5-6) at NEW YORK JETS (5-6)

Here’s the AFC East equivalent of the SteelersRavens game on Thanksgiving. Both teams are 5-6 heading into the game and the winner will set itself up nicely for a stretch run at the sixth seed in the playoffs. The loser might as well start making plans for an early offseason. The Dolphins very nearly pulled off a big upset last week in Carolina. While the loss hurts, the play of the offensive line had to be very encouraging for Dolphins fans. If that unit can keep Ryan Tannehill on his feet more often through the season’s final five games, then the Fins have a realistic chance at the playoffs. The Jets are pretenders and we all know it. Geno Smith had a little bit of magic in his arm and legs early in the season, but now he’s proving to be

totally overmatched in the NFL. Two weeks in a row now he’s been embarrassing. There’s nothing nice to say about his games against Buffalo and Baltimore. Yet somehow the Dolphins are getting points in this one. PICK VS. SPREAD: Dolphins (+2). STRIAGHT PICK: Dolphins.

ARIZONA CARDINALS (7-4) at PHILADELPHIA EAGLES (6-5)

The Cardinals defense has been putting on a clinic for most of the season, but I think it took last week’s game against the beloved Andrew Luck for people outside Arizona to finally take notice. You can bet Chip Kelly noticed. Nick Foles has been simply amazing in relief of Michael Vick. With 16 touchdowns and 0 interceptions he is on pace to break Aaron Rodgers’ singleseason passer rating record. LeSean McCoy may very well be the league’s MVP after Peyton has fallen back to Earth. The things Shady does in both the running game and the passing game are invaluable. While it’s surely the defense winning games for Arizona, Carson Palmer has been pretty darn good in his own right lately. Early in the season he was an interception machine, but he’s been throwing the ball out of bounds more when he’s in trouble and taking fewer chances. The result: a lot more chances on offense to put points on the board. I’ll tell you what, I wouldn’t want to play these guys right now. PICK VS. SPREAD: Cardinals (+3). STRAIGHT PICK: Cardinals.

TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS (3-8) at CAROLINA PANTHERS (8-3)

Oddly (VERY oddly) this is a meeting of the two hottest teams in the NFL. After starting 0-8 the Bucs have suddenly won three in a row and the Panthers have ran off seven straight after a disappointing 1-3 start to the season. Both teams have good defenses. That was never an issue for either team. Charles Johnson missed last week’s game for the Panthers and it was obvious the team was missing its best pass rusher. But Comeback Cam was brilliant down the stretch in leading the offense to a last-minute score. I’ll say it again, Steve Smith is rejuvenated by finally playing for a winner again and it back to his pass-catching, trashtalking self. I don’t care who you are, that’s good for the NFL when Smith is at his best. The Bucs have had some injury woes at running back and I expect it to finally cost them in this one. PICK VS. SPREAD: Panthers (-8). STRAIGHT PICK: Panthers.

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS (8-3) at HOUSTON TEXANS (2-9)

This is a game that I thought would be one of the top-10 most important regular season games of 2013 when the schedule came out. As it turns out, these two teams are polar opposites in Week 13. The Patriots’ confidence could not be higher after erasing a 24-0 lead and knocking off the mighty Broncos. The Texans, meanwhile, lost to the lowest of the low — the Jaguars — last week. The loss prompted future Hall of Fame receiver Andre Johnson to admit that the Texans “suck.” As radio personality Jim Rome puts it, saying something sucks usually isn’t a good take, but

in this instance it fits. Tom Brady is spreading the ball around beautifully to his receivers and the Patriots clearly have put that no-call against the Panthers in the rearview mirror. This game should be a cakewalk against a Texans team playing for a high draft pick. PICK VS. SPREAD: Patriots (-10). STRAIGHT PICK: Patriots.

plan completed for 14 chautauqua county state Forests Contributed Article NYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation

A Final Unit Management Plan (UMP) for 14 state forests located in Chautauqua County is complete, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Commissioner Joe Martens announced today. New horse and bike trails are among the new recreation opportunities proposed in the UMP, as well as numerous maintenance projects to improve forest access. "The finalized plan incor-

porates comments received during the public review process and will guide future management of these state lands to provide for healthy, sustainable and biologically diverse forest ecosystems, in addition to expanding multi-use recreational opportunities," Commissioner Martens said. "One of our main priorities is to strengthen connections between communities and state lands. We encourage local residents and visitors to enjoy the outdoors and this plan offers a range of activities they can enjoy on beautiful forest lands in the region."

Governor Andrew Cuomo is committed to expanding recreation opportunities throughout the state, which will attract more visitors and boost regional businesses that benefit from people utilizing outdoor recreation facilities. The plan proposes several projects to expand public access and outdoor recreation opportunities as well as ensure sustainable silvicultural (forest management) practices, including: • Developing approximately 21 miles of sustainable horse trails; • Developing approxi-

CHAMPIONS OF THE GALAXY CONTINUED FROM PG 1 Champions of the Galaxy isn’t just a game, but more like an alternate universe. The fi rst time the game was released it was set in 2086. The most recent edition was set in year 2129 with each expansion in between marking one year. The characters age and retire. New wrestlers burst onto the scene and see their stats increase from year-to-year as they make their bid at the championship as alliances and rivalries continuously form and dissolve. The running storyline is one of the biggest draws of the game and what keeps fans coming back for more. Another part of the game that appeals to fans it the artwork. The cards are bigger than your typical collectible card game and the drawings are simply astounding. “I currently have three regular artists,” Filsinger said. “Each one has a specialty. Gerald Banks is my Champions of the Galaxy artist. He was a comic book artist. He drew for Green Lantern and other things for DC Comics. He’s well-suited for drawing my characters for Champions. Steve Stanley does the drawings for Legends. He’s fantastic. He’s done amazing drawings for Andre The Giant, Macho Man Randy Savage, I could go on and on. “The other artist I want to mention is Werner Meeks,” Filsinger continued. “He was a game fan fi rst and his art ability has just exploded over time. People just love his art. He’s become hugely popular in his own right.” Of course, even with all the success Filsinger has obtained, there are still

hurdles to putting out a quality product that fans will enjoy. “I’d say one of the major hurdles is just the perception of tabletop cards and dice games,” he explained. “In other words, young people have just been raised with everything being on computer screens. What I’m trying to do is offer those people an alternative. How much of that stuff can you do before you get sick of it? Luckily there is still a niche of people who still want that alternative.” Besides putting out annual (sometimes more frequently) editions of each of his games, Filsinger’s newest project is turning his universe into a screenplay in an attempt to bring his beloved characters to the big screen. Filsinger has entrusted scriptwriter Mark Litton with the task of writing the screenplay, which he expects to be completed in January. Litton has experience writing for “Power Rangers” and “TRON: Uprising” among other series. “I spent a lot of time in LA and Hollywood,” Filsinger said. “What they’re often looking for is content — stuff that they can do a TV show, movie or cartoon show that isn’t just a one-time shot. My Champions of the Galaxy is 25 years-plus with tons of storylines and lots of characters.” Filsinger reached a career milestone back in 2008 when he was approached by Marvel Comics creator Stan Lee. The two minds worked together on Lee’s book of political humor, “Election Daze.” The two are still in contact with

one another and Lee is quoted as saying, “Champions of the Galaxy is a really cool game!” How’s that for high praise? Filsinger is also the author of his own book, “The Dark Menace of the Universe” which was released in 2005. According to fi lsingergames.com, the book “is a memoir on creativity and tells the inside story of creating Champions of the Galaxy, Legends of Wrestling Card Game and other creative projects.” Perhaps part of the reason Filsinger has been able to obtain so much success with his gaming system is the confidence he had even back in high school when he fi rst came up with the idea. “I have quite an active imagination,” he admitted. “People say ‘this is probably quite surprising to you,’ but it isn’t. Not that I expected to make it big, but I was confident in what I was creating. If something comes from the heart and you have honest passion for it, you feel good about it.” Filsinger resides in Jamestown with his wife and four children. He has a Master’s Degree in Social/ Personality Psychology from Northern Illinois University and is a professor of psychology at Jamestown Community College. Filsinger Games and Champions of the Galaxy both have their own Facebook pages and Filsinger Games can also be followed on Twitter for the latest news and promotions. All of the games are available for online play and purchase at fi lsingergames. com.

lake Erie Fishing Hotline Contributed Article Department of Environmental Conservation

Anglers have enjoyed good steelhead action so far this fall, and the late fall run of steelhead is arriving right on time for the holiday week. Anglers have reported fresh runs of steelhead in the streams over past few days. Many streams are fishing well for a mix of fresh silvery steel and more colorful earlier run fish. The small to medium

sized streams are in good shape today (Tuesday) with moderate to slightly lower flows. Chautauqua, Canadaway, Silver, Walnut, South Branch Cattaraugus, Eighteenmile, Buffalo and Cayuga Creeks are all good prospects. Cattaraugus Creek currently has near ideal conditions and a flow of about 415 cubic feet per second. Anglers should expect slush in the mornings, especially later this week when nighttime temps dip into the teens.

Fishing with egg sacs and egg pattern fl ies are good bets for steelhead. Light colored streamers and bugger patterns are good options in clear water conditions while darker patterns in black or purple work better in stained conditions. For those new to steelhead fishing, see the Steelhead Fishing in Lake Erie Tributaries page for information on steelhead fishing equipment, locations and links to stream maps. coNtINUED oN pG 4

Ex-NHlers sue league For concussions By Frederic J. Frommer Among other things, the Associated Press

Ten former National Hockey League players, including All-Star forward Gary Leeman, claimed in a classaction lawsuit that the league hasn't done enough to protect players from concussions. The lawsuit seeks damages and court-approved, NHLsponsored medical monitoring for the players' brain trauma and/or injuries, which they blame on their NHL careers. It was filed in federal court in Washington on behalf of players who retired on or before February 14 of this year and have suffered such injuries. The suit comes just three months after the National Football League agreed to pay $765 million to settle lawsuits from thousands of former players who developed dementia or other concussion-related health problems - and in an era when more attention is being paid to the damages of head injuries sustained in sports.

suit claims that: - The NHL knew or should have known about scientific evidence that players who sustain repeated head injuries are at greater risk for illnesses and disabilities both during their hockey careers and later in life. - Even after the NHL created a concussion program to study brain injuries affecting NHL players in 1997, the league took no action to reduce the number and severity of concussions during a study period from 1997 to 2004. "Plaintiffs relied on the NHL's silence to their detriment," the suit says. - The league didn't do anything to protect players from unnecessary harm until 2010, when it made it a penalty to target a player's head. "The NHL's active and purposeful concealment of the severe risks of brain injuries exposed players to unnecessary dangers they could have avoided had the NHL provided them with truthful and accurate informa-

tion and taken appropriate action to prevent needless harm," the lawsuit says. "We are aware of the classaction lawsuit filed today in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia on behalf of a group of former NHL players. While the subject matter is very serious, we are completely satisfied with the responsible manner in which the league and the players' association have managed player safety over time, including with respect to head injuries and concussions," said Bill Daly, the league’s Deputy Commissioner, issued a statement Monday. "We intend to defend the case vigorously and have no further comment at this time." Leeman, who played for the Toronto Maple Leafs, Calgary Flames, Montreal Canadians, Vancouver Canucks and St. Louis Blues from 1983-1996, suffered multiple concussions and subconcussive impacts during his career, according to the lawsuit. Since his retirement, he's

suffered from post-traumatic head syndrome, headaches, memory loss and dizziness, the lawsuit says. In addition to Leeman, the other ex-players on the lawsuit are: Bradley Aitken (Pittsburgh Penguins, Edmonton Oilers); Darren Banks (Boston Bruins); Curt Bennett (Blues, New York Rangers and Atlanta Flames); Richard Dunn (Buffalo Sabres and Calgary Flames); Warren Holmes, (Los Angeles Kings); Robert Manno, (Canucks, Maple Leafs and Detroit Red Wings); Blair James Stewart (Red Wings, Washington Capitals and Quebec Nordiques); Morris Titanic, (Sabres); and Rick Vaive (Canucks, Maple Leafs, Sabres, and Chicago Blackhawks). Earlier this year, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said, "We have, on our own, a long history, going back to 1997, of taking concussions very seriously. We spend a lot of time, money and effort working with the players' association on player safety."

signed as free agent in 2012. Kyle Williams has been one of the most underrated players in the NFL for his whole career. The Branch signing was made because the team let go Mark Anderson, who they realized got too much money as a free agent the year before. More was expected from Dareus as a high draft pick, but he’s hardly a bust. Super Mario has finally been living up to his contract this season with constant pressure on opposing quarterbacks. If you’re going to sign a big free agent he better work out and so far Williams has. Linebackers: Manny Lawson, signed as free agent in March 2013. Kiko Alonso, drafted by Buffalo in the 2nd round, 2013. Nigel Bradham, drafted by Buffalo in the 4th round, 2011). Arthur Moats, drafted by Buffalo in the 6th round, 2010). Linebackers seems like a position where guys switch teams a lot, but Buffalo only has one free agent on the team. Lawson was drafted by San Francisco in 2006 before playing two years in Cincinnati. I get the sense that he’s a short-term fix and Buffalo will draft his replacement in this year’s draft. Khalil Mack, anyone? Cornerbacks: Leodis McKelvin, drafted by Buffalo in the 1st round, 2008. Stephon Gilmore, drafted by Buffalo in the 1st round, 2012. Ron Brooks, drafted by Buffalo in the 4th round in 2012. Cornerback might be the toughest position in the league to play. You can’t hit receivers. You can’t touch receivers. You can’t even look at receivers. Yet the Bills have managed to put together a pretty decent defensive backfield without the use of free

agency. Well played Buffalo. Safety: Aaron Williams, drafted by Buffalo in the 2nd round, 2011. Jairus Byrd, drafted by Buffalo in the 2nd round, 2009. Da’Norris Searcy, drafted by Buffalo in the 4th round, 2011. Is it possible Byrd is STILL riding the coattails of his fantastic rookie campaign? He was an interception machine back in 2009, but I can’t really think of too many plays where he’s been a game-breaker lately. The Bills would be foolish to pay him like a top safety. Let him walk and draft a new guy. That’s how top teams do it. Williams is much better at safety than cornerback where he was drafted. Searcy is always around the ball. He’s made a couple of plays this season that have left me speechless. He’s a very good player. All three drafted by Buffalo. Again, well done. By my count that’s 20 of the 27 players listed were either drafted by the Bills or are Fred Jackson, whose story is so unique I figure he should still count. It’s not like an NFL team gave him a shot before the Bills. I’d be curious to see what other team’s percentages are, but I would guess that Buffalo ranks in the top third of NFL teams in terms of draft-anddevelop. One or two more successful drafts like this past one and the Bills will be set up for a period of success, not just the one run that so many teams make before falling back into obscurity.

COMMENTARY CONTINUED FROM PG 1 No, these three organizations all use free agency to fill minor holes on their rosters. The majority of their players come from the draft. Even if it’s not a position of need the best teams in the NFL will take the best player available to them because depth is key. Remember when the Packers drafted Aaron Rodgers when Brett Favre was still a great quarterback? Believe it or not that move was not universally loved at the time like it is now. So how is the Bills roster built? Yes, they made a splash by signing Mario Williams before the 2012 season, but that was an anomaly if ever there was one. Let’s take a look at the Bills starters on offense and defense.

the 2nd round, 2013. T.J. Graham, drafted by Buffalo in the 3rd round, 2012. Marquise Goodwin, drafted by Buffalo in the 3rd round, 2013. Those are the team’s top four receivers and all drafted by the team. They might not be an elite group, but the young guys are getting better before our eyes this season. Offensive line: Cordy Glenn, drafted by Buffalo in the 2nd round, 2012. Doug Legursky, signed as a free agent in June 2013. Eric Wood, drafted by Buffalo in the 1st round, 2009. Kraig Urbik, claimed off waivers in Sept. 2010. Erik Pears, signed as free agent in Dec. 2010. The two most important positions on the line, left tackle and center, OFFENSE are both drafted by BufQuarterback: E.J. Manufalo. The entire right side el, drafted by Buffalo in the of the line was unwanted 1st round, 2013. An obvious by multiple teams before name, but a promising sign. becoming regular starters How many teams have won for the past four years in Super Bowls recently with Buffalo. Legursky is the quarterbacks they signed as only recent free agent and free agents? The Saints with he’s the left guard. Those Drew Brees. That’s pretty are the types of free agent much it. signings top teams make. Running back: C.J. Again, that’s not an elite Spiller, drafted by Buffalo offense by any means, but in the 1st round, 2010.

But when your These are without question only free agent signing from the best two skill position the past three years on your players on Buffalo’s roster. entire starting offense is a Spiller was a high draft left guard, you’re building a pick, but Jackson’s NFL team the right way. hopes looked non-existent DEFENSE since playing at DIII Coe Defensive line: Alan College.

ALERT - NO-FAULT BENEFITS UNDER ATTACK

• Recently, many insurance carriers are attempting to avoid this legal duty by paying biased doctors, often from outside the area, to support them in cutting off these important benefits.

CAMPBELL & SHELTON LLP has taken the following steps to protect our clients: • We will send an investigator to any suspicious exams and videotape the physician. • We will sue any insurance carrier who denies our clients their benefits without a valid basis (we recently obtained a judgment against Allstate for a client’s unpaid benefits, costs and interest). For these and many other reasons, if you are injured in an automobile accident you need experienced and capable legal representation as soon as possible.
