TV on sale at 6 a.m., if it’s worth the price. But we, as a people, have got to have a line that cannot be crossed.

Family is incredibly important, but that importance is diminishing with each ‘progressive’ step we take as a society. Likewise, the extreme business minded capitalist has far too many Christmas stories of sacrificing family in the name of income (read: Scrooge).

This is a problem across the board, but one that it’s not too late to fi x. How do we do it? Well, I don’t believe in picketing. It’s usually a waste of time to get attention, so let’s move on from there.

We know that prayer is a powerful thing, so we can continually pray for our families and for the family atmosphere in this nation.

But our actions can speak just as loud. Is a sale really worth sacrificing family time?

Alright, if you don’t

have family around on the actual day of Thanksgiving, or you’ve traditionally celebrated another day, or you’re all in agreement to change the day, fine, do it and be happy.

But if you do go shopping on Thanksgiving, make sure you thank those employees for their sacrifice. They probably gave up time, food and who knows what else to be with you. Is it unfortunate?

Sure, but that’s also the price we pay depending on what field we work it. It’s a steep price at times, but one that is necessary in our society.

So, moving forward, I’d just ask you to examine what’s important. If it’s that TV, go for it in good conscience. Just make sure you don’t burn anybody on your way to pixel-heaven.

Shopping with little people

By Katy Wise Contributing Writer

Now that it’s November, and we’ve had our first official snowfall of the season, I think it’s time for a discussion. We’re going to have to be realistic about some things, here. One of which is the shopping scene and how to do it with little people.

One thing we’ve learned is how to target our shopping experiences when we know that our boys will be with us. Every family has their own chemistry and their own way that things work for them. This is just an outline of ours, but maybe it will help in your time of need.

Failure to Plan is Planning to Fail My husband has used this phrase at work before, but the same goes for just about anything. Does it sound extreme? Maybe. Do you really need a column on how to shop with kids? Maybe not, but as a mom I’m happy to write it anyways.

Before the days of diapers and sippy cups and craft time and everything else that parenthood entails, shopping was easy. At least the physical part. We didn’t have any money to shop with, but the act of it was easy enough anyways.

We’d wake up one day and say, “hey, want to go to the mall?” “Sure! Let’s go!” Then get changed, and out the door.

Then came the babies. Shopping

now is sometimes such a daunting task that I fear even walking within 10 feet of our front door because I may have to go through it. But it can be easier with some right planning.

When we go shopping, or plan to leave the house for awhile for anything, there are some essentials. Diapers, of course, and all the fixings therein (wipes, cream, baggies etc.).

Then there’s snacks, but we need an arrangement for preferences. Animal crackers, sliced grapes (the less real-time maintenance the better, of course), cheese sticks, bananas and any other 16-month-old-proof finger foods.

We need sippies, pre-loaded with appropriate juice selections (but typically not milk because, let’s face it, who wants to clean out a milk-laced sippy in a bathroom sink at Kohl’s).

Then there’s the clothing, which gets drastically easier as they grow up. For instance, it can take two of us, wrangling down a mobile Drew (our youngest) to get a jacket on him.

Whereas Joshua is now at the point that we can say ‘get your jacket and shoes on and meet me by the door’ and instructions are generally followed.

We used to think folks that brought the big strollers shopping were weird. Now we’re weird, but we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Jogging stroller and all, we pack up the car and get ready to head to the mall.

Once we’re there, the real fun begins. Our key is to always keep

Our stroller has been a lifesaver on long shopping trips, just one of the many tools we prepare to shop with.

the stroller moving. Opposite of life in Jurassic Park, when the Tyrannosaurus Rex couldn’t see them if they were still, all chaos ensues if we stand still. As long as we’re moving, we’re safe. The boys are content with the things passing them, and don’t feel the need to pull, touch, shout, snort, burp or any other little boy time-passing activities.

As intense as it sounds, if prep is

properly done, shopping with little ones is a memorable event, to say the least. We bring games to keep the boys content. But we’re still always thankful for those occasional times when a grandparent says, “want us to watch the boys so you can go out?” (That may have been a subtle hint, by the way!)

As always, thanks for reading, and Happy Shopping!

Falconer Public Library Announces Craft Display For November Jennifer Doud Quilts Contributed Interview Falconer Public Library

"I have been playing with fabric almost as long as I can remember. I did mostly garment sewing until after my children went away to college. I set up a dedicated sewing room in a now empty bedroom and started making quilts. That was in 1998. In 2004 I purchased a computerized embroidery machine and dove into the digital age. I found out that the image of women sitting around a quilt frame with needle and thread in hand is the Model T age of quilting. Today’s quilters are artists who work with fabric and thread as their medium. They also incorporate the latest technology using computer design software and computerized sewing, embroidery, and quilting machines. There are so many new ideas and techniques showing up, it is hard to choose which to try first. My latest new technique is incorporating photos printed on fabric into my wall quilts.

"I enjoy making baby quilts for friends and family. Each one is specially designed and one of a kind. I also make small memorial quilts.

"I am a member of the Harmony Historical Society Quilters and the Westfield Quilters Guild. I am a former member of the Chautauqua Region Quilt Guild and Peace and Harmony Quilt Guild."

Chautauqua County Commences Local Waterfront Revitalization Plan for Lake Erie Waterfront Communities Contributed Article City of Dunkirk

A series of public input sessions is being scheduled for the new Northern Chautauqua County Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP).

The LWRP currently underway will help Lake Erie waterfront communities preserve natural resources, foster private investment and position them to become premier attractions. It will do this by addressing critical issues such as flood control and prevention, economic revitalization and tourism, natural resource and habitat protection, public access to the waterfront,

recreational trails and agricultural preservation. Adoption of an approved LWRP positions these communities to procure funding from New York State to implement projects developed during the LWRP process.

Public input is a crucial tool to help lake front municipalities define development initiatives for the LWRP. As such, two workshops are being scheduled in January to solicit ideas and inspirations for the LWRP communities’ waterfronts. The identical sessions will be held in central locations to encourage the maximum number of people to attend and provide their input. The exact times and locations of

these sessions will be announced in early December. The public workshops are part of an overall public input program that will also include focus groups and a public survey.

“This is an exciting and important project for the municipalities bordering Lake Erie,” said Chautauqua County Executive Vince Horrigan. “It will define projects that are important to these communities and will position them to access funding to implement them. I hope the residents and stakeholders of the community support this project by actively participating in the process.”

The Chautauqua County Department of Planning & Eco-

nomic Development (CCPED) and the Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation Local Economic Development (LED) Waterfront Development Committee are working collaboratively to get the project underway and completed.

The CCPED and LED secured funding from the New York State Department of State Division of Coastal Resources under Title 11 of the Environmental Protection Fund to fund the LWRP. The LWRP includes 10 communities in Northern Chautauqua County with approximately 43 miles of lakefront, and includes the major tributaries in each municipality.

The development of the

LWRP will be completed in two separate phases. The first phase will conclude with a draft LWRP, including the designation of LWRP boundaries and unique projects/initiatives that each municipality wishes to implement. The second phase will result in development of the final LWRP based on the completion of the DOS review process, revisions to the draft LWRP from the stakeholders, adoption by the participating municipalities, and completion of the State Environmental Quality Review (SEQR). Funding for Phase II will be sought in 2015 through the Consolidated Funding Application (CFA) process.

Development of the draft LWRP is being guided by a Steering Committee and a Waterfront Advisory Committee (WAC). The Advisory Committee consists of representatives of the County, the 10 participating municipalities, the Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation, the LED committee, Fredonia University, the Lake Erie Management Commission, and other local stakeholders, while the planning consultant for the project is peter j. smith & company, inc. of Buffalo.

For more information or questions regarding the LWRP, please contact Mark Geise at 716-6618912, or Jay Warren at 716-679-8654.

"We are excited about offering the Feaste again this year,” said Dr. Karl Boelter, School of Music Director. “People seemed to enjoy the festive environment and the music of the Chamber Choir. The theatrical features provided by Jim Ivey were perfect for the situation. This year, both the Fredonia Chamber Choir and College Choir will be performing, adding another dimension of music to the evening.”

This collaborative event features talented faculty and students from the School of Music and the Department of Theatre and Dance, under the direction of Dr. Gerald T. Gray,

who had the vision for bringing this historical dinner theater tradition to Fredonia.

“As a high school student,” commented Dr. Gray, “I had the joy and privilege of performing in a Madrigal Feaste in my hometown, and it was a true highlight of the year.

There was something magical about the festive music, beautiful costumes, grand banquet dinner … all coming together to create something unforgettable. It is exciting to bring that to our community. It is a magnificent way to begin the holiday season, and we hope the community will come out and join us for this unique and memorable event.”

A particularly special highlight of the evening will be Richard and Carmen Gilman featured in the roles of King and Queen.

"The Gilmans are respected members of our community, and will be wonderful royalty at the Madrigal Feaste," said Dave Tiffany, Vice President for University Advancement. "It is appropriate to recognize their many years of service to the campus and community."

The King and Queen will don period attire and join the rest of the performers at the

THE OffENSE TRAP

By Rev. Tim Stahlman Family Church Jamestown www.fcjamestown.org

Many people today are struggling through life as they try to carry excess baggage in the form of past hurts and grudges. Others have

allowed their personalities to feed and thrive on controversies and scandal. People do not realize the emotional fatigue and stress they are bringing on themselves when they stay offended at somebody.

To remain defeated in life all you have to do is live in offense. 2 Corinthians 2:10-11 says, "To whom you FORGIVE any thing, I FORGIVE also; for if I FORGAVE anything...I FORGAVE it in the person of Christ; lest Satan should get an ADVANTAGE over us for we are not ignorant of his devices." Did you notice who Satan gets the advantage over? It

wasn't the person who committed the offense; it was the one that refuses to forgive. The person who dwells on offense will live under the pressure and restlessness that demonic forces provide. Grudges and offenses will plague your mind and wear you out emotionally and physically. If you are constantly worn out, check up on your offenses.

Notice that these verses are written to a group of people who were given an opportunity to forgive. But look at what the author of the verse said: He said that he forgave this individual IN THE PERSON

OF CHRIST. What does that mean? That means that under his own strength he could not walk in forgiveness.

The only possibility of forgiving this offense was in the recognition of Christ. Sometimes that will be the case in our lives. Offenses can seem so huge that it will take a recollection of what Christ suffered to forgive us so we can forgive others. It may take a supernatural example of mercy to motivate us.

In Luke 17:1, Jesus says, "...It is impossible but that offenses will come..." Jesus was telling us that it is impossible to live in this world

without somebody offending us in the flesh.

The word "offenses" in this verse is a very interesting word. The original Greek word from which this word was translated means "trap" or "snare."

Offense will trap you into a world of defeat.

Proverbs 18:19 says, "A brother offended is harder to be won than a fortress and their arguments are like the bars of a castle."

This verse paints the picture of the offended person: They are held captive in the bowels of a fortress; behind bars and a prisoner not easily rescued. Think about how a prisoner

lives. They are not well fed or well clothed.

Their surroundings always seem drab and hopeless. They are constantly without someone to help them.

Do not underestimate how your offense affects your finances, relationships, and peace of mind.

Spiritually speaking, our attitudes affect every area in life. Don't allow offense to hold you prisoner in a place where you cannot be helped. If life seems like a struggle, see if you are offended. If so then forgive that person. Be a blessing to them and live free.

Contributed Article Lutheran

Hultquist Place Assisted Living Program on the Lutheran Campus is hosting an Open House on Saturday, Nov. 15, from 10 a.m. until noon. Visitors may enter the Lutheran Campus via Aldren Avenue off of Falconer Street in Jamestown.

Pillittieri and other staff members will be on hand to answer questions and give tours of the beautifully designed suites with private baths and walkin showers, as well as, the family style dining room, activity rooms, beautiful courtyard and common areas.

“We’re excited to have the community come and see all that we have to offer,” said Kathy Lynch, Administrator for Hultquist Place.

“Many of our residents tell us they wish they had made the move to assisted living sooner.

We have a full calendar of activities and opportunities to socialize.

Residents have their privacy, yet they know they are not alone.”

Reverend David Vennberg and his wife Grace are often seen strolling around campus or catching up on their reading while relaxing on a park bench.

“We welcome people to come visit during the Open House,” Reverend Vennberg said.

“The staff is very caring and efficient.”

The community atmosphere includes

the conveniences of an in-house beauty salon, barber shop, gift shop and chapel. There are multiple fireplaces, game rooms and comfortable areas to enjoy time with friends and family. Delicious meals are served restaurant style in a spacious dining room.

Betty Mee is quick to add that it was her choice to move onto campus. “My children did not make that decision for me,” she said.

“It’s a wonderful place and very friendly, just like home.”

Hultquist Place is a New York State As-

sisted Living Program that gives seniors access to many different services, so they can stay healthier, more active and independent. There is a full time registered nurse on staff for management of medical issues.

All meals are prepared for the residents and laundry services are available. No entry fee is required. “We’ve created a worry free lifestyle with the warmth and intimate feeling of home.” Lynch added.

Contributed Article Fredonia Farmers’ Market

Free pancakes slathered in local maple syrup, bargain-priced, steaming-hot cups of coffee or tea and a jumpstart on the week’s grocery shopping is a luxurious albeit productive way to begin a weekend. And it’s becoming a ritual at one of Chautauqua County’s only winter farmers’ markets.

Held every Saturday from November to May, the winter Fredonia Farmers’ Market (FFM) offers a plethora of local produce, farm-raised meat, eggs, yogurt, pasta, baked goods and handcrafted items from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Held at the Masonic Forest Lodge, 321 E. Main St., the space is cozy compared to the open-air summer location on Church Street, but accommodates a dozen to 16 farmers and artisans.

The winter FFM has grown in many ways since its humble beginning in an abandoned bank on West Main Street nearly a decade ago.

Farmers’ market board president Margaret Bruegel, owner of Roo Haven Farm in Forestville, remembers well the winter FFM’s less-thanauspicious start in a vacant former bank as dark, cold and dreary.

“We had to run extension cords from outside to get any power,” Bruegel said with a shudder, noting her gratitude for any space in which to hold the market. “The owner was great about letting us use the building.”

Eventually, through the perseverance and dedication of FFM volunteer Malinda McGuinn of Lamberton Hollow Farm in Fredonia, area farmers moved on up in the world and have been gathering at the lodge for the past few years.

Vendors who’ve been with the independently run market since its early days are quite content with the -- well-lit and warm -- location they now call home.

As the FFM grows, efforts to engage the community in the local food scene include cooking demonstrations, live music plus crafts and childcentered events. A long, welcoming community table offers patrons a spot to rest and contemplate

Sitting at the popular community table, Estella Oddo-Tonelli, youngest daughter of Fredonia residents and market regulars Ron and Amanda Oddo-Tonelli, enjoys a pancake courtesy of Degolier’s Maple Products of Forestville.

Sarom Heng of Gong Garden in Fredonia displays some of her farm’s produce – stir-fry packs, carrots and garlic -- available Saturdays at the Fredonia Farmers’ Market.

their purchases while enjoying complimentary pancakes and maple syrup. Donated by DeGolier’s Maple Products of Forestville, the free breakfast is popular and has garnered the FFM a legion of fans.

The FFM encourages the Fredonia State university community and students to attend and support the market. Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients are welcome to use their Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards to participate in the FFM’s token program.

A majority of vendors accept EBT tokens as payment. The FFM is always looking for volunteers and welcomes feedback from the public.

Market vendors include Busti Cider Mill, Castle Farms, Ceres Farm, Gong Garden, Green Heron Growers, Jentle Creations, J.M. Joy Farms, Ivory Wind Acres, Lake District Baskets, Lakeside Rabbitry, Mekus Farms, Roo Haven Farm, Small Meadows Farm, Someday Maybe Farms and Toboggan Hill Farm There is a waiting list for merchants interested in participating in the market. Vendor coordinator Margaret Bruegel may be reached at mbruegel@ gmail.com or 965-2716. Acting market manager Erica Carlson may be reached at info@ avidfarms.com or 410-3901.

Bird Photography at Audubon’s thanksgiving with the Birds Contributed Article Creative License: How Audubon Center and Sanctuary

You are invited to a dinner tradition at the Audubon Center & Sanctuary that dates back to 1965 and features great food, great company, and an absorbing talk.

On Saturday, November 22, Thanksgiving with the Birds will begin with a community soup pot, followed by a scrumptious turkey dinner and an enlightening program.

After dinner, Kim Sherwood will share some of his favorite photographs in “From Analysis Paralysis to

I Wandered into Bird Photography.”

At 11:30 a.m., folks will gather around the outdoor soup kettle for which you can bring a small container of your favorite broth-based soup to add to the mystery brew.

Audubon provides the roasted turkeys and beverages for the indoor buffet dinner that begins at 12:30.

Participants are asked to bring a side dish (dressing, vegetables, potatoes, salad or dessert) and their own table service, including a mug for soup.

During his 1:30 presentation, Kim Sherwood

will share his captivation with birds: their beauty, their behavior and their habitat.

Much of his professional work has involved helping landowners and municipalities understand natural resource concerns and trying to balance them with economic considerations. He has “taken refuge” from some of these challenges in-part by spending time with the birds. He says, “I savor each glimpse into their world and come away enriched every time, picture or not. I look forward to sharing some of my images and related musings.”

Kim Sherwood grew up in New York’s

Finger Lakes region.

Fascinated with photography from a young age, he majored in it after high school, then worked in darkrooms between Rochester, New York, and Denver, Colorado. Years later, he returned to college, earning a BS in Forest Resource Management and a MS in Forest Hydrology. He worked for different natural resource management agencies and organizations before moving back to New York in 2003, where he has worked as a consulting hydrologist. In 2012, he returned to photography and has been pleasantly surprised at his new fascination with

We’ll go through the county, place by place, for the next few months. Check back every week for the next edition of “This Great County”.

proprietors within the county, with the intention of making it a permanent residence. It should be mentioned, however, that for nearly four years previously to 1800, Amos Sottle had resided near Cattaraugus creek, in the present town of Hanover. After which he was absent for several months, and finally returned and became a permanent citizen." "Historical Note: In fact Sottle was the first settler and never did leave, he merely worked surveying in Ohio for one season."

Westfield was taken from Ripley and Portland.

It is somewhat irregular in shape, bordering on Lake Erie on the north and extending into the interior as far south as the north line of the second tier of townships.

The village of Westfield has formerly been known as The Cross Roads, Four Corners and Urbanna.

Dr. Macintyre’s "Spring" people went to the location for cures of many maladies, to be performed by the spring waters and the "Indian Doctor."

Chautauqua Gorge Chautauqua Creek in this town forms a gorge with steep, rocky sides towering upward in places to the height of 60 feet. Little Chautauqua creek unites with this stream about a mile south of the village of Westfield and there are smaller streams, all aiding in creating a picture of scenic beauty in the breathtaking gorge.

The drive between Mayville and Westfield is particularly pleasing, with the hills commanding a view of the lake. The prospect is charming. In Westfield, as in other towns of the county, there are relics left by a prehistoric race and Indians were here in plenty after the white man came.

While farming and grape growing are the towns

great source of wealth, the business interests of the town have always been important. The "hominy" mills were the first used in Westfield and Chautauqua County. John McMahan built the first gristmill near the mouth of Chautauqua creek, about 1804. Soon thereafter a sawmill was built.

The first tavern in Chautauqua County was kept by Edward McHenry, who settled next to James McMahan in 1802. Edward McHenry was drowned in 1803, and it is recorded that Col. Nathan Bird, who came in 1815, kept for years a "free tavern" for emigrants at his house. The first town meeting was held at The Westfield House, April 7, 1829, and Westfield has never lacked for good houses of public entertainment.

Button’s Inn In 1823, halfway between Barcelona Inn on Lake Erie and Mayville, the famous Button's Inn was built. Throughout a period of almost 20 years, the Inn gained the reputation as a prosperous tavern through which many travelers passed. The Inn was located on a hill on S. Portage St., appropriately entitled "Button's Hill." In good weather, an excellent view of Lake Erie was available for about five miles in either direction.

The Inn welcomed many sailors whose boats had docked at nearby "Portland Harbor," now known as Barcelona.

The Inn was also the scene of Albion Winegar Tourgee's novel, "Button's Inn." Mr. Tourgee of Mayville, was a writer of fiction, and centered his novel on a beautiful young maiden in the Button family who becomes the heroine of his novel.

Every week the Chautauqua Star & Bulletin Board takes you to a different community in Chautauqua County and tells you a little bit about its history. This week, local historian John Siggins takes us to Westfield, situated in the heart of Grape Country.

While Westfield is eighth in size among the towns of Chautauqua County, the village is second in size only to Fredonia. About two-thirds of the area of the town is comprised in the gently rising plain sloping back from Lake Erie in Chautauqua's famous "grape belt."

James McMahan, a Pennsylvanian, was destined to play an important part in the early development of Westfield. He first visited the region in 1795 and in 1801, in company with Andrew Smith, he visited the lake region and made a contract for his brother John to buy township four, in range 14, which included all the village of Westfield and parts of the towns of Westfield and Chautauqua.

Judge Warren, in his History of Chautauqua County, published in 1846, says: "The first purchase of lands for the purpose of settlement within the present limits of this county, was made by Gen. McMahan, in 1801. The first attempt to subdue the dense forest was near where the village of Westfield is now located.

On this spot ten acres were cleared, and the first dwelling of the white man erected. Edward McHenry settled on an adjoining tract during the same year. These were the first locations of

The Welch’s Grape factory in Westfield. (Star File Photo

Doctor Welch The Concord grape was introduced to the Westfield area in 185960. By the 1890’s, too many grapes on the market made prices drop and the industry threatened to decline.

In the summer of 1897, Dr. Charles Welch and his father visited Westfield and selected a building site for their grape juice factory. The grape industry again flourished. Soon other grape juice plants and canning factories were built and Westfield was known as The Grape Juice Capital of the World.

History Abound The visits to Westfield by the Marquee De Lafayette in 1826 and President Lincoln in 1861(there is a statue commemorating the President’s visit and

reunion with Grace Bedell) are very important historical attractions.

At the age of 11, Grace wrote Lincoln while he was a candidate, suggesting that a beard would make him more electable. His reply and visit with her is very touching. The Feb. 19, 1861 edition of the New York World recounted the meeting as follows: "At Westfield an interesting incident occurred. Shortly after his nomination Mr. Lincoln had received from that place a letter from a little girl, who urged him, as a means of improving his personal appearance, to wear whiskers. Mr. Lincoln at the time replied, stating that although he was obliged by the suggestion, he feared his habits of life were too fi xed to admit of even so slight

a change as that which letting his beard grow involved. To-day, on reaching the place, he related the incident, and said that if that young lady was in the crowd he should be glad to see her. There was a momentary commotion, in the midst of which an old man, struggling through the crowd, approached, leading his daughter, a girl of apparently twelve or thirteen years of age, whom he introduced to Mr. Lincoln as his Westfield

correspondent. Mr. Lincoln stooped down and kissed the child, and talked with her for some minutes. Her advice had not been thrown away upon the rugged chieftain.

A beard of several months' growth covers (perhaps adorns) the lower part of his face.

The young girl's peachy cheek must have been tickled with a stiff whisker, for the growth of which she was herself

Sadly the next time the Great Emancipator passed through Westfield his coffin would be aboard the Funeral Cortège on the way to Springfield. We can only speculate the heavy heart that now 16 year old Grace Bedell had witnessing that spectacle together with her fellow citizens.

Thanksgiving Day Event Benefits Kids In Sports

By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

The fun starts early on Thanksgiving Day as the 3rd Annual Cold Turkey Run will be held Thursday, Nov. 27 beginning at 9:00 a.m. in front of Old Main Inn in Fredonia.

The event has been immensely popular in the past two years, drawing about 200 people for the inaugural run and increasing to over 300 last year.

“The Cold Turkey Run began because people from Fredonia asked me to host one because they were tired of driving to Buffalo for the race up there,” race organizer and Pump It Up! Fitness owner Cheryl Tabone said. “I figured, why not? I got some contacts and started this race.

We’re hoping for another 100-person increase this year.”

The race raises funds for Kids In Sports, which Tabone is the president of. The nonprofit organization helps place kids throughout Chautauqua County into local sports.

“We pay for registration, uniforms, sneakers, travel fees, competition fees — whatever costs might be needed,” Tabone said of Kids In Sports. “We have a kids fitness challenge that we did at Camp Chautauqua last year. It was 12 courses that they had to complete for the challenge. We’ll do a kids challenge here and then next summer we’re going to do a mud run for kids.”

The run will take a different route than in years past.

Beginning at Old Main Inn (24 Water Street, Fredonia), the participants will go to Webster, Seymour, Howard and back to Water Street. The first two years had runners going through the Fredonia State University Campus.

“We’re changing it up this year,” Tabone added. “The Fredonia police are wonderful about helping. The Chautauqua County Sheriffs are going to involved this year, too. I think it should be quite successful.”

The race itself is a 4.5 mile run, but the event also offers a 3.3 mile walk as well as a 1 mile Kids Fun Run. Awards for the top three males and top three females will be given for each age group in the 4.5 mile run. Age groups are as followed: 10 and under; 11-19; 20-29; 30-39; 40-49; 50-59; and 60 and over.

On-site registration begins at 7:30 a.m. at Pump It Up! There will be an awards ceremony and post-race party at 10:00 a.m. at Old Main Inn. There will also be a basket raffle and 50/50 to be held on race day.

“We have a great running packet for participants,” Tabone continued. “I have long-sleeve tee shirts. We have coozies that my husband’s business, Tabone Construction, donates. I have stylist pens and flashlights that I donate to the bag. Then we usually have coupons for McDonald’s, Burger King and Wendy’s. Cotts donates water. Tim Horton’s donates water for all the racers.

At the beginning of the season, if I had told Bills fans that they’d be 5-4 after nine games and in the middle of a playoff hunt, I guarantee that 99 percent of them would have taken that in a heartbeat.

But the mood in Buffalo is slightly sour this past week after the team blew a wonderful chance to take command in the wild card hunt. With the exception of the Bills’ gut-wrenching 17-13 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, the week of NFL action went perfectly the Bills’ way.

sports commentary 25

How Good Are these Bills?, continued from page 24 First, the AFC North continued to beat each other up. The Cleveland Browns now lead that division at 6-3 while the Bengals fell to 5-3-1. The Pittsburgh Steelers were even nice enough to lose a game to the New York Jets and fall to 6-4. The Baltimore Ravens won to get to 6-4, but there are a lot of division games left here and you can’t expect more than one of the AFC wild card teams to come out of the North.

In the AFC South, the Indianapolis Colts were on bye, but will comfortably win that division. At 6-3, they’re clearly the class of the division. Houston is in second place at 4-5, but have shown pretty clearly that they’re not a legitimate wild card threat. The Tennessee Titans (2-7) and Jacksonville Jaguars (1-9) are among the worst teams in the NFL. No worries for the Bills there.

In the AFC West, the Denver Broncos continue to roll to another division title.

They bounced back from a loss to the Patriots to drub the still-winless Oakland Raiders. The San Diego Chargers were nice enough to lose three straight games and fall to 5-4 before their bye, so that certainly gave the Bills some hope.

Within their own division, the Dolphins blew a late lead and lost on the road to the Detroit Lions. That knocked Miami down to 5-4. Buffalo has the tie-breaker thanks to an early-season beatdown. The two teams play Thursday night, which will be huge. But still on this week’s action, that left just two teams in the AFC. They’re both contenders and were going head-to-head this week: The Bills and the Chiefs.

The Bills’ loss dropped

them to 5-4 and boosted the Chiefs to 6-3 AND gave Kansas City the tie-breaker should Buffalo and the Chiefs finish the season tied in the standings. Had the Bills won, not only would they have gotten to 6-3, earned that tie-breaker and earned a nice confidence boost, but they also would have had the chance to bury the Dolphins in the standings on Thursday night.

They could have all but taken their rivals out of the playoff picture.

So what went wrong in that game? It certainly appeared that Buffalo was going to win that game, right up until the fourth quarter.

Well, mistakes were absolutely killer. The Bills shot themselves in the collective foot time and time again.

The first I-can’t-stress-howhuge-it-was mistake was when Bryce Brown scampered towards the end zone about to put the Bills up by two touchdowns. The Chiefs’ Ron Parker poked the ball away from Brown and it went out the back of the end zone for a touchback and Kansas City’s ball. Not only did Brown lose the ball when he had a touchdown right in front of him, but tight end Scott Chandler could have easily picked the ball up for an unorthodox touchdown. Instead, the lumbering Chandler just clumsily nudged the ball out of bounds. Brutal.

Later in the game, the Bills forced a punt, as they were apt to do in this game. The defense was lights out. But Leodis McKelvin decided to get all, well…Leodis McKelvin on us and fumbled the punt away. A couple of plays later and Alex Smith was waltzing into the end zone for the go-ahead touchdown.

McKelvin did redeem him-

self a bit when he returned a punt 23 yards to set the Bills up in amazing field position late in the fourth quarter trailing 17-13. The Bills had the look they wanted.

First-and-10 from the Chiefs’ 15-yard line with 2:42 to go. Every Bills fan in the building could see another Sammy Watkins game-winning touchdown happening.

But it never did. Because Kyle Orton choked. Yes, Orton has been very good (not great) for the Bills since taking over for E.J. Manuel after the Houston loss. But in this game, when it mattered most, Orton simply choked.

There’s no other explanation for him missing Chris Hogan on an easy touchdown pass. Or for Orton underthrowing Watkins by a mile and a half on fourth down.

For the record, I better not hear anyone else say that Doug Marrone made the wrong call by going for it on fourth-and-10 from the 15.

They had a chance to win the game and they took it.

Yes, they had three timeouts and the defense was playing well. But there are so many reasons to go for it there I can’t even begin to list them.

Well, maybe I can. First, Orton has proven that he can step up in big situations. You don’t have to look further than the Vikings win for evidence of that. Secondly, three points still gives you a one-point deficit. Unless you’re playing to beat the spread or something, close doesn’t count. If you burn all three timeouts AND don’t give up a first down on defense, what’s the best-case scenario? The Bills would need to march at least 60 yards down the field with no timeouts against a defense that was also playing fantastic AND Dan Carpenter would need to make another

50-yard field goal to win the game. That’s not even taking into consideration that the snaps on the field goals go right, the refs don’t call some phantom holding call, the Chiefs don’t break out just one first down when they get the ball back or that the Chiefs don’t return the ensuing kickoff for a touchdown (Knile Davis has been electric returning kicks).

There’s absolutely no guarantee that the Bills would get the ball back, let alone be able to get back into position to win the game. They WERE in position to win the game. They had to take it. The Bills didn’t even need to score a touchdown on that play. They still had plenty of room and time to simply pick up a first down. Yes, when something goes wrong the first instinct for fans is to blame to coach, but this time he made the right call.

I simply couldn’t believe how many “experts,” including former NFL players, coaches and quarterbacks that I’ve heard say that Marrone was an idiot for going for it there.

Did they not realize all of the points I just made or were they just trying to look smart by playing armchair coach? No, it stinks for the Bills that the gamble didn’t pay off, but it was the right call. Wise up, everybody.

This commentary was supposed to dissect just how good this Bills team is and how good they can be, but it turned into this, for better or for worse. I enjoyed writing it, though, so I hope you enjoyed reading it.

U.S. Baseball Academy Returns To Jamestown Contributed Article U.S. Baseball Academy

At U.S. Baseball Academy, young players can enjoy a real Spring Training experience.

U.S. Baseball Academy, which operates a national network of affordable hitting, pitching, catching, fielding and baserunning camps for players in grades 1 through 12, is pleased to announce the return of Jamestown CC to its lineup for the coming winter and spring. Registration is now under way at www.USBaseballAcademy.com.

U.S. Baseball Academy's

Spring Training 2015 provides young players with advanced hitting, pitching, catching, fielding and baserunning training programs with instruction by the area's top coaches at the area’s top facilities. Players who choose multiple skills qualify for discounted session prices.

U.S. Baseball Academy's 2015 Spring Training program will be held at nearly 220 sites across the United States. The session in Jamestown runs January 18-February 8 at Jamestown CC. Jamestown CC head coach, Dick Adams, will direct the program. Instructors will include a staff of the area’s best coaches.

With a player-coach ratio of 6:1, each player gets plenty of individual attention in a small-group atmosphere.

In addition to unbeatable instruction by the area's best coaches, players get a preseason tune-up that helps them enter team practice in mid-season form. With numerous age-specific sessions, instruction is specially tailored for each ability level. Overall, it's the type of intense, professional instruction young players just can't get in a summer league.

Since 1988, U.S. Baseball Academy has run hundreds of camps and clinics for thousands of players nationwide. Each week, hitters

rotate through a series of supervised stations, including indoor batting cages, with each drill designed to teach a different aspect of hitting. Players enjoy participating in hitting games and specialized stations used by top high school and college programs. The program is designed to improve pitch and strike zone recognition, timing, balance, power, situational hitting, bunting, and other aspects. Pitchers work under the supervision of coaches who can help with all aspects of pitching, from fundamentals and mechanics to more advanced concepts. Drills and repetition will improve

a pitcher's speed and control.

Our catcher's camp covers all aspects of being behind the plate. Players will get instruction on stance, signs, receiving, framing, blocking, throwing, fielding bunts, tags and the mental aspects of dealing with pitchers.

Registration deadlines are approximately six weeks before each session begins, but last year's camps sold out much earlier. Because of the low player-coach ratio, spots in each session are limited.

With three reporting periods remaining, Edinger is also 19th in NCAA Division III in total assists and 26th in assists per set.

It was expected that the Bears were going to give up a lot of points, but they were supposed to be able to put up points with the best of them, too. That hasn’t happened. Jay Cutler is just terrible. I’ve heard it said that he has an elite arm attached to a bad quarterback.

That seems to fit.

There’s no denying his physical tools, but he’s always been a turnover machine. It truly seems like the Bears have checked out on this season. For that reason and that reason only…

STRAIGHT PICK: Vikings.

HOUSTON TEXANS (4-5) at CLEVELAND BROWNS (6-3) The first-place Cleveland Browns have a chance to grab their seventh win of the season, at home against a team starting a quarterback that is making his first career start.

Whether it will be in Cleveland or elsewhere, Hoyer is going to get a nice contract to start somewhere.

It’s still hard to look at Cleveland’s roster and see a good football team. There just aren’t any big names (except for the backup quarterback) or massive free agent contracts. This is just a team that plays well together. A solid offensive line is a great start. They’ll need that unit to be cohesive on Sunday because if you haven’t noticed, the Texans have J.J. Watt on their defensive line.

For the Browns to win this game, they need to contain Arian Foster.

The stud running back is back to being himself after a series of injuries that last few years. He’s truly looked like the best back in the NFL this season (and yes, I know about DeMarco Murray’s stats). Ryan Fitzpatrick wasn’t awful, but the Texans realize that he’s not the quarterback of the future, so they’re going to see what Ryan Mallet can do. In a battle of two former Tom Brady backups, it’s hard not to pick the home team.

the winner of this game (heck, even the loser) will get a big boost to their playoff hopes.

The Saints are playing the Bengals, so there’s certainly a chance that New Orleans gets another loss. The Panthers need to shore up their offensive line to have any chance.

Whether that means more draw plays or screens, Carolina has to gameplan knowing that Cam Newton isn’t going to have a ton of time back there.

On the other side, few defenses have a worse pass rush than the Falcons. Few teams have a worse offensive line than the Falcons.

How this team ever convinced people that it’s not garbage, I have no idea. I’ll say it again, Matt Ryan’s interception against the Lions

in London a few weeks ago was the single worst play I’ve ever seen in any sport. It was worse than the Butt Fumble. It was worse than Broncos defensive back Tony Carter allowing Jacoby Jones to get behind him for the miracle touchdown.

That interception all but ended Atlanta’s season and ruined what had been a great team effort. It was the worst play ever. I’ll probably just always pick against the Falcons just because I witnessed that play and can never trust Ryan again. PICK VS. SPREAD: Panthers (-2). STRAIGHT PICK: Panthers.

CINCINNATI BENGALS (5-3-1) at NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (4-5)

This is a huge game for both of these teams.

The Saints looked like they were on the right track before dropping a home game last week.

Now they’re back under .500. The Bengals, meanwhile, have had 10 days to stew about their beatdown at the hands of the Browns last Thursday. The Browns, for Pete’s sake.

The last month or so has not been kind to the Bengals. Quarterback Andy Dalton has been straight garbage, especially his three-interception performance against the Browns. But there is one thing going for the Bengals in this game: it’s not in prime time. The Bengals simply choke under the big lights. There’s enough evidence of that at this Continued on pg 30

OAKLAND RAIDERS (09) at SAN DIEGO CHARGERS (5-4) These two teams have combined losing streaks of 13 games this season. And yet one of them is a 10-point favorite. That should help show just how horrible the Raiders actually are.

The Raiders are not in the top half of any stat in the NFL. They’re 24th in passing yards, 32nd (that’s last) in rushing yards, 18th in passing defense and 27th in rushing defense. It’s really hard to be that bad. I’d say that Oakland has a rebuild program in place, but it’s been over 10 years since this team was above .500. No, this is just a poorly run organization at this point. And now there’s talk of moving the team to San Antonio. I still say they end up in Los Angeles. It’s just too good of a fit. To be fair, the Raiders played one good quarter of football last week. Not too shabby.

Self-proclaimed Expert Picks, continued from page 30 gers actually only won the game by three points. That alone should give Oakland some confidence. Of course, the Chargers are coming off of a bye and are now a desperate team after three straight losses. They’ve watched Kansas City win four straight games and pull away from them in the standings. That Week 17 game in KC is setting up to be critically important.

This is a must-win for the Chargers. There’s no two ways about it. Road games against Baltimore, San Francisco and KC as well as home games against New England and Denver are still on the schedule. That’s potentially five losses right there. For an ice-cold team, now would be a great time to get back on track. PICK VS. SPREAD: Raiders (+10). STRAIGHT PICK: Chargers.

DETROIT LIONS (7-2) at ARIZONA CARDINALS (8-1) Here are the two teams that are nowhere near as good as their records might suggest. As a Packers fan and a football fan, I am actually getting mad that the Lions keep pulling out these wins after playing threeand-a-half quarters of lousy football. The Cardinals keep winning ugly games, too, but they haven’t had to win all of their games in the last minute.

The obvious storyline here is Carson Palmer’s seasonending knee injury. With Palmer, this was a legitimate Super Bowl contender in the NFC. With Drew Stanton, this is probably just another team. If they make the playoff (and that’s a big if given the Cardinals’ schedule), they are going to get crushed.

Stanton is not the type of

quarterback that can win a playoff game. Would you take him over Aaron Rodgers in a wild card game?

How about Drew Brees? No, thanks. It’s a shame, but this game probably signifies the beginning of the end for the Cardinals.

The Lions got Calvin Johnson back and Megatron immediately made his presence known with a long touchdown. If he’s healthy, the offense should be back, too. It’s a team that has relied on defense (and obscene luck) to win the majority of its games. The winner of this game actually gains a big leg up in the race for homefield advantage in the NFC. Avoiding traveling to Seattle, New Orleans or Green Bay is a massive advantage.

Don’t think that this fact isn’t on the minds of both of these teams. The adjustment to life without Palmer might just be too big for the Cards.

PICK VS. SPREAD: Lions (+1.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Lions.

PHILADELPHIA EAGLES (7-2) at GREEN BAY PACKERS (6-3) In case there was ever any doubt, Aaron Rodgers is really good. He was at his best in dismantling Chicago last week, but he’s been simply amazing most of this season.

He has a quarterback rating of over 120 for the season, which leads the league by a wide margin. He’s been even better at home, where the Packers are 4-0. The Packers shifted Clay Mathews into the middle linebacker position last week and that really helped solidify the defense.

I’d be surprised to see him in the middle too much again this week, but it’s something the Eagles will have to game plan for, for sure. Though if I was a coach for the Eagles,

my No. 1 message to my players would be cover Jordy Nelson. Seriously, how is that guy wide open all the time?

The Eagles will once again start Mark Sanchez at quarterback. Mr. Butt Fumble actually played great in prime time last week. With over 300 yards, Sanchez outperformed all expectations.

That performance must have boosted the confidence of his teammates. No matter what they said, you can’t believe that the Eagles players thought they’d be just fine with Sanchez. But now maybe they actually feel that way. Of course, the Packers pass rush with Mathews, Nick Perry and Julius Peppers will be trying to disrupt the once maligned quarterback. The Eagles receiver have been big playmakers for the offense, but Green Bay has the cornerbacks to stay with those guys. This should be a great game.

Let’s hope that it’s televised here in WNY. PICK VS. SPREAD: Packers (-6.5).

STRAIGHT PICK: Packers.

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS (7-2) at INDIANAPOLIS COLTS (6-3) Two of the hottest teams in the NFL are coming off of their byes and ready to square off in prime time. If this isn’t a game to look forward to, there isn’t one. Tom Brady vs. Andrew Luck, it doesn’t get much better than that.

Prior to the bye week, the Patriots took the Broncos behind the proverbial toolshed.

They treated them like the proverbial red-headed step child. It was a beatdown of epic proportions. Now, theoretically, the Broncos are a better team than the Colts, so one might expect them

to do it again. The Tom Brady-led offense has been clicking on all cylinders.

There’s almost no way that the Colts hold them to under 30 points. Rob Gronkowski is just too big, too strong and too fast for any linebacker or safety to routinely cover him.

It’s not a coincidence that New England really took off as soon as Gronk came back healthy.

The Colts, meanwhile. have the No. 1 offense in the NFL. Andrew Luck is throwing the ball all over the place and making highlight reel plays every week. The issue is that he’s also turning the ball over more than you’d like to see.

Yes, Luck leads the league with 3,085 yards. Yes, his 26 touchdowns are second in the league. Yet because of his nine interceptions, his quarterback rating is only good for seventh (slightly ahead of Kyle Orton). For reference, Luck has thrown the ball 393 times already.

Aaron Rodgers has thrown the ball just 277 times. Luck has one more touchdown than Rodgers. So if Rodgers throws the ball 116 times and gets one touchdown, yes, their stats will be similar.

But until then, perhaps we should cool it on the “Luck is elite” talk. He’s great for being so young, but he’s not in that Manning-BradyBrees-Rodgers territory yet.

Too many mistakes and too many incompletions are holding him back at the moment. All that said, I love Andrew Luck and think he’ll go down as one of the best of all time before all is said and done. But for now, I’ll take the guy that might actually be the best of all time. PICK VS. SPREAD: Patriots (+2.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Patriots.

PITTSBURGH STEELERS (6-4) at TENNESSEE TITANS (2-7) And the award for worst prime time game of the season goes to (drum roll, please)…this snoozer of a contest.

It’s not often that I won’t watch even five minutes of the Monday Night Football game, but this is just embarrassing. Does anyone really want to see the Titans?

Ever? This team hasn’t been relevant since Steve McNair was taking the snaps and handing the ball off to Eddie George or throwing it deep to Derrick Mason. I’ve spent this whole season writing about how little people care about the Tampa Bay Bucs, but analyzing things, the Titans are by far the most boring team in the league. The Steelers might just be America’s most popular team, so this game will probably get good ratings anyway, but com’on NFL executives, this is the best you can give us?

If this game was last week, it would have been slightly more interesting. Big Ben Roethlisberger threw 12 touchdowns in a two-game span to set an NFL record.

He was then completely stymied by the worst pass defense in the NFL, the New York Jets. Explain that one. Even with that stinker, Big Ben is second to Luck in passing yardage this season and that offense can score with the best of them. The Titans are NOT the best of them. There’s no way the Steelers put up two stinkers in a row. They should clobber the Titans in this one. PICK VS. SPREAD: Steelers (-6.5).

STRAIGHT PICK: Steelers.

Enjoy this week’s games, everyone.

Lehtera’s Hat Trick Leads Blues Past Sabres

By R.B. Fallstrom AP Sports Writer

Two-thirds of the St. Louis Blues' top line has lived up to high expectations. They're starting to find out Jori Lehtera isn't just a third wheel.

After Lehtera scored the franchise's first natural hat trick since 1998, coach Ken Hitchcock wondered what took the left wing so long to leave the KHL. ''He should have come over a year before, quite frankly,'' Hitchcock said after Lehtera got the first three goals in a 6-1 victory over the punchless Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday night.

The 26-year-old Lehtera was a thirdround pick in 2008 but stayed in Europe until signing with St. Louis on July 1, so he's technically not a rookie. ''There were many reasons,'' Lehtera said. ''But now I'm here.''

Jaden Schwartz assisted on all of Lehtera's goals and Vladimir Tarasenko had assists on the first two, giving the Blues' top line 25 points the last six games. Lehtera and Tarasenko, who leads the team with nine goals and 10 assists, were teammates in the KHL. ''He wanted me to score today,'' Lehtera said. ''He's a good player and it's nice to play with him. Pretty good passes from the guys.''

Lehtera's first career hat trick was the

Blues' first natural since Al MacInnis on Oct. 12, 1998, against the Rangers. It's the first natural hat trick in the NHL since James Neal of Nashville on Oct. 23.

The Blues are the only team in the NHL to get hat tricks from three different players this season. Tarasenko got his first career hat trick on a fourpoint night with the game-winner in overtime Oct. 28 at Dallas, and Schwartz had three points and an assist Oct. 18 at Arizona. ''Obviously, they're highly talented and they make plays,'' Sabres captain Brian Gionta said. ''We gave them way too much time and space.''

Brian Elliott stayed unbeaten for his career against Buffalo and the Blues added three goals, two by Joakim Lindstrom and one by David Backes.

Alexander Steen also had three assists and Kevin Shattenkirk had two.

Tyler Ennis scored his team-leading fifth goal on a power play early in the third for the Sabres, held to one goal or for the 11th time in 16 games.

Buffalo has totaled three goals in three losses to St. Louis the last two seasons, all by Ennis.

Elliott finished with 28 saves to improve to 11-0-2 against Buffalo. The Sabres have scored an NHL-low 19 goals.

Tarasenko at 3:21 of the second and scored his sixth of the season shorthanded at 14:26 of the second on a one-timer from Schwartz.

An exchange of hard hits on opposite ends of the ice, neither resulting in a penalty, led to four players assessed fighting majors. Steen was penalized for fighting for the first time in his career, getting by far the best against Ennis, and the Blues were a man short because defenseman Ian Cole drew an additional roughing minor.

The Sabres were scoreless in the first

period for the 13th straight game despite outshooting the Blues 15-10.

Nicolas Deslauriers drew a match penalty for spearing against Tarasenko late in the third and the Blues made it a blowout by tacking on three power-play goals. ''The way we started was probably one of the best periods that we played so far this season,'' Sabres coach Ted Nolan said. ''Unfortunate incident at the end but overall I thought we had our moments and we're still learning and we're still growing.''

Lake erie Fishing Hotline Contributed Article NYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation

Cattaraugus Creek has moderate flow of about 215 cubic feet per second and ideal color today, Wednesday. Hit it while you can, as rain forecasted for Thursday and Friday will likely muddy the creek. Steelhead are spread throughout the Cattaraugus Creek system.

The creek has been fi shing well for a month, with the Seneca reservation section providing the best action.

Keep in mind that a fi shing license issued by the Seneca Nation is needed to fi sh on Seneca lands. With consistently low and clear conditions, the steelhead bite on the other creeks has remained slow, except for small windows when the flows briefly bump up. It looks like the much needed rain is on the way, so expect higher flows this weekend.

Drifting egg sacs, trout beads and egg pattern fl ies are good bets for steelhead.

Light colored streamers and bugger patterns are good options in clear conditions, while darker patterns in black or purple work better in stained conditions.

Worms are also a good bait, especially during runoff events. Schools of emerald

shiners have moved into the low ends of the creeks.

Drifting a live emerald shiner or swinging a shiner imitation streamer is a good bet in those locations.

Rough and windy conditions have kept anglers off Lake Erie most of the past week. When weather permits there is still good late season yellow perch opportunity. On the most recent outings, boaters picked up some limit perch catches in 60-65 feet of water between Cattaraugus Creek and

Showalter, Williams Chosen As Managers Of The Year

By Mike Fitzpatrick AP Sports Writer

Buck Showalter and Matt Williams won the Manager of the Year awards Tuesday, turning a Beltway double play.

Showalter took the American League prize for the third time after guiding Baltimore to its first division title in 17 years, and Williams snagged the NL honor following his first season as a big league skipper with Washington.

Showalter received 25 of 30 firstplace votes and 132 points in balloting by the Baseball Writers' Association of America. He's established a unique pattern of winning once a decade following victories with the New York Yankees in 1994 and Texas in 2004. ''I won't be doing it 10 years from now,'' Showalter said on the MLB Network telecast.

Williams, who played under Showalter in Arizona from 1998-00, led the Nationals to an NL-best 96 wins. He got 18 first-place votes and 109 points, joining Houston's Hal Lanier (1986), San Francisco's Dusty Baker (1993) and Florida's Joe Girardi (2006) as the only men to win in their first seasons as a major league manager. ''This is an organizational award as far as I'm concerned,'' Williams said on a conference call. ''It's a testament to how the organization has built itself.''

The 58-year-old Showalter piloted the Orioles to a 96-66 record and their first AL East crown since 1997 despite playing large chunks of the season without All-Stars Chris Davis, Manny Machado and Matt Wieters.

Voting took place before the playoffs, when Baltimore swept Detroit in the Division Series and then was swept by Kansas City in the AL Championship Series.

Until the ALCS, the Orioles had

not lost four in a row since May and had not dropped consecutive home games since June 28-29.

Showalter became the first manager to win with three teams in one league. He is the third Orioles winner, following Frank Robinson in 1989 and Davey Johnson in 1997. ''It was a lot of fun to kind of get out of the way,'' Showalter added. ''I had a great seat.''

Pittsburgh's Clint Hurdle, who earned the NL honor last year, finished second to Williams with eight first-place votes and 80 points.

Bruce Bochy of the World Series champion San Francisco Giants was third with three firsts and 30 points. ''For me, as a newcomer to the managerial fraternity, it is a privilege just to be considered amongst the best in our game. Clint and Bruce are certainly that,'' Williams said in a Nationals statement.

Miami's Mike Redmond also got a first-place vote and finished fifth, behind St. Louis' Mike Matheny.

Now he is the franchise's fourth winner, joining Johnson (2012) and Montreal's Buck Rodgers (1987) and Felipe Alou (1994).

Williams credited his players, saying, ''These guys made my transition easy.''

The Nationals had hoped to contend for the Series title in 2013 under Johnson and came into this season with high expectations.

Some predicted they would take the crown, which can often hinder a manager's chances of winning this award. ''What we accomplished this season would not have been possible without the right man at the helm,'' Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo said. ''It was a pleasure to watch him grow throughout.''

Williams stressed fundamentals from the start of spring training, and worked on creative defensive alignments. His biggest stamp

might've come in late April when he benched young star Bryce Harper in the middle of a game for failing to run out a grounder.

The 48-year-old Williams kept the Nationals on track despite injuries to Harper, Doug Fister, Ryan Zimmerman and Wilson Ramos.

Washington still won the NL East by a whopping 17 games, the biggest margin in the majors. ''As a staff, we tried to empower our players and allow them to have a voice and decide how they're going to go about doing it,'' Williams said. ''So, these guys did it. I didn't do anything except try to guide that at certain times.''

The Nationals lost to the Giants in four games in the NL Division Series.

Epstein: Cubs 'Welcome' MLB's Maddon Investigation Chicago Cubs President Theo Epstein says the team is totally

fine with Major League Baseball checking into whether there was anything improper about the way it hired new manager Joe Maddon. ''We welcome the MLB investigation,'' Epstein told reporters Monday night at the general managers' meetings. ''As we said last week, there was no tampering whatsoever. I'd rather they investigate so we can clear our names and move on from this quickly. We're giving our full cooperation,'' Epstein said.

The Cubs announced Oct. 31 that Rick Renteria had been fired after one season as manager and that Maddon was hired.

Maddon opted out of his contract with Tampa Bay soon after Rays executive Andrew Friedman left the club to take over the Los Angeles Dodgers in mid-October. Epstein recently said the Cubs checked with MLB to be sure Maddon was OK to talk with other clubs before negotiating with him.

Format Crushes Gordon’s Bid For Fifth Title

By Jenna Fryer AP Auto Racing Writer

NASCAR's new championship format, lauded for creating nail-biting intensity, wild emotional swings and tension on and off of the track, has also been full of heartbreak.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. had one of the best seasons of his career with an honest shot at his first career Sprint Cup title - and was eliminated in the second round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

Kyle Busch salvaged a mediocre regular season to put himself in position to run for the title. Then he was wrecked from behind at Talladega, and what seemed like a sure bet for the third round of the Chase went bust. He was suddenly knocked out of the field.

Brad Keselowski won the most races in the regular season and picked up victories in each of the first two rounds of the Chase. One came at Talladega, where he had to win to avoid elimination and did it as the entire garage area seemed to turn on him for his aggressive driving. Involved in two post-race fights during this Chase, he never flinched. But a mechanical problem at Martinsville doomed Keselowski, who was knocked out Sunday despite his series-best six wins this season.

With those failures comes disappointment, maybe devastation. All of them hurt.

None, though, are as heartbreaking as Jeff Gordon's defeat.

Chasing the championship that has eluded him since he

picked up his fourth title in 2001 wasn't an easy decision, either. He and his wife, Ingrid, had a heart-to-heart talk about the commitment that goes into winning a championship. Gordon explained that winning a title means making tremendous sacrifices at home. He'd need to be in the Hendrick Motorsports shop, he'd need to attend competition meetings. He'd have to miss days at home during the week if the team wanted to test, and he would need to be fanatical about his fitness and extra cognizant of his creaky back.

All of it would come at the cost of time spent with his wife and two young children. To win, Gordon could not with good conscience have his team question if there was something more the driver could be contributing.

Ingrid told her husband, without hesitation, to go for it. He did, and at 43 years old and 19 years removed from his first championship, Jeff Gordon was back.

He won at Kansas, at Michigan, at Dover in the Chase, and oh, that treasured Brickyard 400 win at Indianapolis Motor Speedway 20 years after he won NASCAR's inaugural race at the storied track.

Gordon's laps led are the most since 2007, the last legitimate title shot he had before this season. His average starting position and average finishing position were the highest in years, and he led in points for 20 of 35 weeks.

When Gordon crossed the finish line, he'd made it to the final four of NASCAR's playoffs and would race for

the title this weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway. But it flipped in the blink of an eye when Ryan Newman, needing just one spot on the track to bump Gordon out of the finale, used an aggressive move on Kyle Larson coming out of the final turn. Newman, winless on the season and with just four top-five finishes and 41 laps led all year, finished 11th - good enough to give him a one-point advantage over Gordon and claim the fourth and final spot at Homestead.

Gordon didn't blame Newman for his last-lap act of desperation. He has been around long enough to understand you play with the format you're given and do everything needed to make it work in your favor.

Only Gordon did just that and the format crushed him.

He finished second to teammate Earnhardt at Martinsville, where Hendrick quite clearly had no team orders to have Earnhardt allow Gordon to win the race and earn the automatic berth in the finale. And he was second again at Phoenix, where winner Kevin Harvick used the victory to punch his ticket to Homestead.

The dagger was the middle race, last week at Texas, where Gordon was actually en route to victory lane when his season came crashing down. He was leading that race and nobody was catching up, but a caution came out and allowed the field a shot at stealing the win away from him.

He lined up on a restart next to teammate Jim-

mie Johnson and raced him hard into the corner.

Enough space was left between the two cars that Keselowski believed he could slip in and snag the lead from Gordon. The hole closed fast, Gordon and Keselowski touched, and Gordon was left with a flat tire.

Gordon went from having Homestead in his grasp to a 29th-place finish. It dropped him from first to fourth in the standings and made him vulnerable at Phoenix, something he instantly recognized based on his decision to confront Keselowski on pit road in a scene that quickly became a bloody brawl.

Keselowski has steadfastly defended his driving at Tex-

as, and said what happened there was just one of them racing deals. But he knows in his heart that Gordon deserved to be in the finale and that one moment destroyed something Gordon had worked so hard for and so desperately wanted.

Keselowski will now live with that forever.

And so will Gordon. ''It's tough to swallow that two second-place finishes and staring down a potential win last week, that we didn't get it done,'' he said. ''I felt like this was a round where we could really shine, and we did. But it still wasn't enough.''

No, it wasn't enough. And it's very tough to swallow
