Getting into the Holiday Spirit

By Katy Wise

Contributing Writer

Well, there’s snow on the ground and it is officially winter here in Western New York. We’ve had an interesting couple of days to say the least, and when I say, ‘we,’ I mean this area as a whole, because the boys and I did not even attempt to brave the historic snowstorm. Now what does snow mean here? It means that it’s time to start Christmas shopping! Maybe it’s just me, but there’s something about seeing fresh fallen snow on the ground that gets me incredibly excited to start baking Holiday treats, crafting and wrapping up gifts for people. I know, I know. There are a select few of you out there who are probably rolling your eyes at yet another person who just wants to rush into

Christmas. But let’s do the math, shall we? Most people start to decorate for fall and Thanksgiving when the leaves start changing color around mid-end of September. These decorations (unless you’re an avid Christmas fan and jumpstarter) stay up until Thanksgiving, which gives fall an entire two months in your house. If you wait for our November holiday to pass (which is supposedly the socially acceptable thing to do) then you only get to ‘deck the halls’ for a little under a month. I’m not necessarily going to say that either of these options are right… All I will say is that when we have snow on the ground, and lots of it, I personally find it silly to have faux leaf arrangements scattered about and autumn garlands over our thresholds. It’s clear that us northerners get more snow-induced Christmas cheer than the south, so why not embrace it?

CHECk OuT THE fuLL SECTiON, STARTiNg ON PAgE 19 I personally choose to be content in whatever ‘state’ I am in. Whether that means a state full of snow or various other things. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. When New York gives you snow, make Christmas, etc. And I have to say that it’s hard not to enjoy the snow outside when you see a cute little three year olds’ face light up every time he peeks out the

window. So now that I have you convinced that it’s Christmas time, let’s jump right in! In order to get started with great gift giving, you will first need to make a list. Include anyone that you plan on exchanging presents with. ContinuED on PAGE 22

Record Breaking Snowstorm Hits Buffalo, Western New York On Monday, Nov. 17, a southwesterly wind of cold arctic air set up over the warm waters of Lake Erie, consequently dumping upwards of 80 inches of snow on some parts of Western New York. The storm, hailed as a 'once-in-a-generation' one, shut down most of the southern parts of Buffalo for more than a week. Buffalonians and Western New Yorkers came together to help one another, and all showcased their photos of the huge snowsquall. Our own paper was disrupted in printing due to travel bans and street closures, so we combined two issues to bring you a historic 'Holiday Star' like never before. We've worked with the Associated Press to get you some of the photos of this monumental storm, one to 'pass down to the grandkids.'

The Star Media offices in Dunkirk had drifts of around four feet in some places, and nearly three feet hanging down from the rooftop.

ment fining Christians who won’t agree or promote same-sex marriage. Let’s choose our battles, hm? Running in head-over-heels about how we greet someone seems to be picking apart the details, and really takes away the focus from the big picture. Not to mention, if Christians want the freedoms in this nation that they so desire, we cannot shame people who don’t choose the same path. As a Christian, we pray for them, love them and lift them up. Not make them feel like sinners because they say ‘Happy Holidays.’ It’s said that this phrase is part of an overall ‘war on Christmas’ that’s taking place in our society. I do agree with that, to a part. But in a war, even a general has to choose their battles. Now, I will say this; if someone is forbidden from uttering the phrase, “Merry Christmas,” for fear of ‘discrimination’ or ‘offense,’ that’s another matter entirely. That’s where we get into the realm of an attack on free speech, at least if it is a government-repre-

sented entity condemn- A ing the speaker. 1 Free speech guarantees 6 that I can say ‘Merry 9 Christmas’ to whom- 1 ever I please, and they 1 can smile and say back 1 ‘Happy Holidays.’ Or 1 ‘Season’s Greetings,’ 1 or ‘Merry Kwanzaa’ 1 for all I care. I, and 1 my family, celebrate g Christmas because we 2 believe it is a celebra2 tion of the birth of Jesus Christ, the forefront of 2 2 our faith. 2 Am I right? Who 3 knows. That’s why 3 I get paid to write a 3 commentary, I can A say what I think. I 3 don’t always like to, because sometimes my 4 thoughts should remain 4 thoughts, but then… I 4 wouldn’t want to let our t faithful readers down. 4 4 I’ll end with an encour4 aging note of senti4 ment for the offended Christians who maybe 5 think I’m a deserter in _ the war on Christmas. 5 5 The word ‘holiday’ comes from old English 5 words meaning ‘holy’ 5 and ‘day.’ So when that 6 6 mean person wishes you a ‘Happy Holiday,’ 6 you can just smile and 6 6 snicker to yourself, thinking ‘they said it’s 7 holy and they didn’t 7 even know it!’ 7

Manuscript. From there, it was found popping up from time to time until the 19th century. A writer named Charles Dickens used it in his famous piece, “A Christmas Carol,” and thereafter it was soon featured on the increasingly popular greeting card. ‘Happy Holidays,’ rather, has a much shorter history in the grand scheme. It’s oldest known use dates back to the late 1800s. It became popular in the 70s as both an ‘all encompassing’ term to handle Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s, etc., and as a term to not offend those who don’t celebrate Christmas. The debate, in case that rock you might be living under is particularly sheltered, is this: ‘Happy Holidays is an attack to take away my Christian freedoms.’ Folks, if you’ve read my column for any length of time, you may be surprised to know that I don’t agree with this. Sure, there is an attack on Christian freedoms in this nation today, but I don’t think that whether we say ‘Happy Holidays’ or ‘Merry Christmas’ is tantamount to the govern-

This week we are featuring “Elliott” and “Amber”. Elliott is a ten year old Bichon mix. He is super sweet and friendly. He would like nothing more than to curl up next to you on the couch. He knows how to “sit” and “down.” Amber is a beautiful long hair calico that acts younger than her 8 years. She loves to get attention and play with small toys. She takes wonderful care of her coat and it shines. She does not like dogs but is fine with other cats. She is looking for a home where she will get the attention she craves. If either of these pets sound like the right one for you, stop by the Strunk Road Adoption Center and meet them. They are just waiting for their 2nd chance.

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

The reason many people do not walk in the power of God is because they have developed indifference for the people around

As Christians, we accept that God is our Creator and He knows what works for us. Matthew 10:30 says that, "And the very hairs of your head are all numbered." If God cares about how many F R E D O N I A hairs we have (some of us have less than others!) why wouldn't He care about our schedules? If you examine His Word, you’ll see that He has a priority "list" for us beginning with Matthew 6:33, "But seek first the ting it all done!” kingdom of God, and His We need to learn to righteousness, and all these approach these activities like things will be added to you." anything else, with God’s This scripture promises that will in mind! To respond to if we put God first, the other your question, I will begin things we do will fall into with how to prioritize our place, including our schedfamily's events in light of ules! Without putting God God's Word. first, our lives can become

unbalanced. The second priority should be our family (1Timothy 3:4-5, 5:8). Decisions affecting our time-usage should not be based on money or convenience, but what is best for our family. Many families have been destroyed by working to buy things when all the family really wanted was time together. The best gift we can give our family, especially during the holidays, is our time and attention. No amount of the "latest and greatest" things can compare with the time spent bonding as a family. The third priority is our occupation or work (2 Thessalonians 3:10). We must recognize that our job is just a tool to support our fam-

ily and should never take precedent over family or God. Fourth is our service to God and the church. All of us have received talents and gifts in order to serve the Lord (Romans 12:6). These must be kept in balance… service is no substitute for spending time with God! The last priority is everything else including hobbies, T.V., and sports. There's nothing wrong with these things, but they shouldn't be a distraction from our more important responsibilities. Remember…Matthew 6:33 promises that if you put God first, He will make sure that you have enough time for ALL things…including these!

the Weekly Word THE LOvE fOR PEOPLE them. Often we fail to invest in what matters most to God which is people. 2 Peter 3:9 says, "(God)...is not willing that any (person) should perish but that ALL would come to repentance." The Lord's number one business is the welfare of humanity. We must not fail to enter into that business with the Lord and start blessing that which He loves most. Our eyes and attitudes cannot remain closed to that which is closest to the Father's heart. When our priorities reflect His priorities then will God invest into our lives. The greatest threat that hinders the love

for people is offence. Philippians 1:9-10 read, "And this I pray that your LOVE MAY ABOUND more and more...that you may be sincere and WITHOUT OFFENCE till the day of Christ." This is obviously a priority within the heart of God that people's love would manifest itself in a greater measure. The amount of love you dole out in life is measurable. The measure that proceeds from you will determine the power of God towards you. Notice what it was that was in direct opposition to the love for people; it was offence. Offence is the great enemy of love.

Psalm 119:165 says, "Great peace have they which love Thy law (word) and NOTHING SHALL OFFEND THEM." People who have zero respect for God's Word are easily offended. Offence occurs when you feel that people have not met your demands and expectations for their behavior. We all are guilty of this at times. We start demanding certain levels of treatment and courtesy and when we do not get what we expected from people we get offended. Essentially, if we would be honest with ourselves, we all tend to believe that people owe

us something. That can be a dangerous attitude to have. Basically we believe that our behavior towards people is based on their behavior towards us. By doing so our love now has conditions. God's love is unconditional. Romans 13:8 says, "Owe no man anything except to love one another..." The Bible is saying that the only debt we should have is a love debt to the ones around us. We owe one another our love. That means that nobody owes me anything at all and actually I am the one that owes them. Because of the grace of God given to me at the

cross of Christ I am in debt to every person. The only way I can justify Jesus' perfect sacrifice is by living the love life. This attitude would spare you from ever being offended again. The next time someone treats you like garbage you can simply act benevolent and say, "That's alright; I owe them my love anyway." Notice the initial phrase in Psalm 119:165 that is printed above, "Great peace have they which love..." Love is the key to peaceful living.

WCA Receives Blanket Warmer For Patients Receiving Treatment At Cancer Treatment Center Contributed Article my mother and my wife residents in the ChauWCA Hospital

Eugene DeCastro, Development Engineer, and Sam LaMancuso, Director of Engineering at Institutional Casework Inc., Jamestown Metal Products Division, recently presented a new Warming Cabinet (blanket warmer), engineered and designed by Eugene and Sam, for patients treated at the WCA Cancer Treatment Center. The purpose of the new warming cabinet at the WCA Cancer Treatment Center will serve to provide heated storage for blankets, used for the comfort of patients diagnosed with cancer during their radiation treatment. The Institutional Casework Jamestown Metal Product donation was made in loving memory of Joseph and Mary DeCastro, Eugene’s parents. Eugene’s mother, Mary, was a patient treated at the WCA Hospital Emergency Department and greatly appreciated the comfort provided by warmed blankets during her stay. “Making this donation in memory of my family is such a positive way to celebrate their lives and means so much to me,” said Eugene. “We are thrilled to give back to the patients in the same way that WCA gave to

during their illnesses.” Eugene visited with the WCA Cancer Treatment staff and demonstrated the proper operation of the warming cabinet. “The warming cabinet will serve as an enhanced element of care and comfort for our patients and means so much to their overall health and recovery,” said Tammara L.C. Hodges, WCA Hospital Imaging Director. “We extend our gratitude and appreciation for the kindness of Eugene, Sam, and the Jamestown Metal Products family. Their gift will leave an indelible mark on the care of our patients for many years to come.” About WCA Hospital Cancer Care Program WCA Hospital’s Cancer Care Program, recognized for cancer care excellence by the American College of Surgeons (ACoS) Commission on Cancer® (CoC), is staffed by a team of expert physicians and health care professionals that provide a wide range of cancer care services from routine screenings to the diagnosis and treatment of patients diagnosed with cancer. The comprehensive cancer care team is dedicated to preventing, diagnosing, and treating cancer for

tauqua County and surrounding region. In partnership with physicians, hospital staff, and health care providers, the nationally recognized program provides a comprehensive range of highquality, compassionate, and cost-effective services, including health education, screening, diagnosis, treatment, and psychosocial and patient navigation support. A Cancer Care Treatment Committee composed of individuals specializing in every aspect of care for patients with malignant diseases reviews all cancer-related activities at WCA Hospital. By evaluating educational programs, interpreting Cancer Registry data and analyzing results of patient care studies, the Committee continues to raise the level of cancer care at WCA. To make a tax deductible donation to the care of patients at WCA Hospital, contact the WCA Hospital Office of Development, at (716) 664-8423.

Must-Have Automotive Technology for 2015

Contributed Article AutoTrader.com

The 2014 LA Auto Show is upon us, and that means that the show's automotive technology showcase -- the Connected Car Expo -- is here, too. The Expo kicks off the festivities every year with conversations about where tech's gone in the past year and where it's going in the future. The hot topics this year are safety and entertainment. We've put together a list of six must-have automotive tech features that highlight progress on both fronts. For each feature, we've also picked out the car that currently provides the best implementation, taking both functionality and value into consideration. Adaptive Cruise Control What Is It? Using a radar system embedded in the front fascia or grille, adaptive cruise control maintains a preset distance between you and the car in front of you. In some cases, it's capable of bringing the car to a full stop in order to maintain that distance. Why It's Cool Standard cruise control automatically deactivates when you apply the brake,

stop. Why It's Cool In the age of distracted driving, you never know whether the drivers around you are fully focused on the task at hand. These systems promise to limit or even prevent the damage that can result when drivers' eyes stray from the road. Is It Worth the Money? so it's only useful in lowtraffic situations. With Naturally, you can't put adaptive cruise control, it a price on the lives that doesn't matter how much would be saved if forwardtraffic there is -- you can collision-mitigation sysjust kick back and let the tems were in widespread car do the work. use. Since the systems are presently extra-cost Is It Worth the Money? Adaptive cruise control is options, and may only be worth the money if it's not available on fancier trim embedded in an expensive levels, they're not always options package, which is realistic for budget-minded sometimes the case. Once shoppers. If you can afford the upgrade on your next you've experienced it, it's car, it'll be money well hard to go back. spent.

They also enable or seat as well.

songs. Is It Worth the Money? Measuring the worth depends on your priorities. For the average shopper in 2015, a good touchscreen's features are going to be hard to resist. On the other hand, some may find a certain appeal in cars that just give you the basics, although they're getting harder to find. AutoTrader.com's Top Pick: Chrysler's 8.4-inch Uconnect screen is one of the best at any price, providing iPad-like elegance and quick, reliable responses. If you're looking at a model in the Chrysler family that comes standard with a smaller touchscreen, we strongly recommend upgrading to the 8.4-in version. Parking Assist What Is It? The most basic form of parking assist is a set of proximity sensors (either rear or front and rear) that beep when you're about to hit something. Increasingly, though, automakers are offering self-parking systems that can find a suitable space and park the car automatically. Why It's Cool Just imagine looking down and seeing the steering wheel turning by itself as the car maneuvers into position. How cool is that? Plus, you'll never have to worry about scraping a wheel on the curb, because these systems won't let that happen. Is It Worth the Money? This is hardly a life-saving feature, of course, but it's a serious stress reliever, and your kids are going to love

it. If it's readily available on the car that you're considering, you'll likely be glad you sprang for it. AutoTrader.com's Top Pick: Ford more or less pioneered the self-parking system with its Active Park Assist, and it's still our pick for value-oriented shoppers. In-Car Connectivity What Is It? A data connection in your dash that powers Wi-Fi access for compatible devices. Why It's Cool If you're often on the road for work, you know what it's like when you need to find an Internet connection -- there's not always a Starbucks right around the corner. With in-car connectivity, you are your own Starbucks (minus the Frappuccinos, unfortunately). Your passengers will dig it too, whether they're kids with iPads in the back or colleagues with laptops getting work done on the fly. Is It Worth the Money? Absolutely. The Internet is the lifeblood of so many contemporary activities; it just makes sense to have it at your fingertips whenever you're in the car. AutoTrader.com's Top Pick: General Motors' 4G LTE connectivity is now widely available across its brands, and we like it for two reasons: 4G means faster Internet (many rivals are stuck on 3G), and its flexible payment plans let you tailor the service to your needs. Auto Stop/Start What Is It?A system that automatically turns the engine off when you brake

to a stop and turns it back on again when you take your foot off the brake. Why It's Cool Cars burn a lot of fuel unnecessarily when they're idling, and with traffic getting worse in many of our cities, there's more idling going on than ever before. Auto stop/start both improves fuel economy and cuts needless emissions. It's a win-win. Is It Worth the Money? Yes, because it actually saves you money over the long haul. Plus it's good for the environment. Look for this feature to be standard on most, if not all, vehicles in the not-too-distant future. AutoTrader.com's Top Pick: The 2015 Chevrolet Malibu's auto stop/start feature is pretty smooth with its transitions, and we like that Chevy offers the feature on a mainstream family sedan. Thankfully, used and certified pre-owned shoppers can get in on the action, as well. Automotive technology changes rapidly, so while you may not be getting the most recent version of a particular feature, you can still find some pretty great tech on a used model that might be 5 years old. Toyota has offered adaptive cruise control on the Sienna minivan for many years, and some Acura vehicles have had forward-collision warning since 2008.

Homemade by Katy, continued from page 2

If you’re anything like me, then you already have had a list made for months. Why? Because there are people in your family who are difficult to find presents for, and you need to start as soon as possible with gathering your ideas. Keep in mind while you’re making your list that you can give homemade gifts also. Don’t limit your gift giving to store-bought material items. Experiences and other heartfelt items are excellent gifts to receive. For the people who are a challenge to buy for, check with their closest loved ones for ideas. Example; for an aunt or uncle, either ask their

spouse, or a close child or family friend if there’s anything they’ve mentioned in the past months. If this doesn’t work, think of their hobbies and interests you already know about. Movie theater gift certificates are an awesome treat for movie lovers, and they can go whenever is convenient for them. Other experiences to give are zoo tickets for a young family, museum tickets, or admission to a concert. Don’t forget about pampering gifts for those ladies in your life, am I right, fellow females? There are also plenty of fun-filled seasonal things to do with family and close friends during this time of

year. Treat someone to a sleigh ride or go find a train to the North Pole! Gifts that make memories together are some of the very best kind. Your last hope could be turning to the internet. There are plenty of lists available for specific gift ideas. You can easily Google things like, ‘best gifts for four year old boys,’ or ‘gifts for people who have everything.’ You can get a pretty good grasp from the reviews on some of these items about whether or not they’re worth purchasing. I speak from experience with this one. The older and older our (older) son gets, the more he turns into a little

man. Although I know him very well because we spend almost all of his waking hours together, I appreciate any input from fellow parents of little guys around his age. Also available on the worldwide web are a handful of websites bursting with unique, custom-made gifts. Etsy.com is a terrific resource for vintage finds to hand crafted, personalized items. Don’t forget to check out our local holiday craft shows, too! Keep your eye out for advertisements that allow you to shop local for those one of a kind gifts. Lastly, when in doubt, food and gift cards are the way to go. Some may say that gift cards are terribly impersonal, and though wrapping a tangible gift may be loads fun, sometimes you have no other choice Gift certificates for a favorite nearby restaurant are sure to be used, as well as gift cards for necessities such as gas or groceries. Looking for something a tad more personal? Pick a favorite hobby and go from there. For music and/ or technology lovers, an iTunes gift card would be perfect. Hope this inspires some of you early gift givers out there! Christmas will be upon us quick as quick as this last snow was, so take advantage of less than a month of shopping days! Thanks for reading, and as always, Happy Shopping!

Keep Pets Happy and Healthy this Holiday Season StatePoint

The holiday season can mean new routines, new décor and new foods in your home. While these temporary changes can be exciting for people, they can be hazardous to pets. “The extended holiday season is no excuse to take a vacation from being a great pet parent,” says Dr. Jeff Werber, Hollywood’s Vet to the Stars. Keeping your dog happy and healthy this holiday season is easy, Werber says. He is sharing some seasonal tips. • Keep curious pets focused: Most pets will be curious about the tinsel, ornaments and ribbons of the season. Since most decorations are not pet-friendly, keep them beyond reach and take necessary precautions and keep your pets focused on something they truly enjoy. If your dog begs at the table every night, chances are they’ll be begging at the holiday dinner table. With new people over and different kinds of food falling to the floor, it’ll be important to prevent distractions during dinner. Use healthy treats, such as Greenies, as a training tool to keep your dog away from guests’ dinner plates. • Give recognizable gifts: A whopping 85 percent of pet parents buy their dog a holiday present, according to the 2014 Greenies: Dog Owners Survey. In order for your pet to

be as thrilled about their stocking as you are, give them the same treat before the holiday -- so that it’s more familiar and better received.T his year, consider giving a gift that promotes good health. While nearly half of all dog owners have turned away from a kiss from a dog because of its bad breath, more than a quarter say they don’t brush their dog’s teeth at all. And bad breath isn’t just unpleasant; it can be a sign of poor dental health or dental disease. Con-

sider giving your dog a dental chew that carries the Veterinary Oral Health Council Seal of Acceptance for control of plaque and tartar, such as Greenies Canine Dental Chews. They are the number one veterinarian-recommended dental chews and are available in special Season’s Greenies holiday packaging around this time of year. • Give your pet extra love: During the holidays your routine will likely change. Your dog will be able to

tell, but not know why. As you are out shopping or attending a holiday party, your pet might be missing out on his usual attention. Show your pet some love by setting some time aside for daily play time or an extra walk. Or give them their favorite treat. More pet health tips and resources can be found at www.Greenies.com. The holidays are all about sharing time with friends and family. In the shuffle, don’t forget your beloved pet!

Once your final coat has dried for about 15 minutes, carefully remove tape. • Lightly wipe the chalk-covered surface with a paper towel to remove excess dust. • Write each guest’s name on the chalkboard painted area and clip a printed “I am thankful for” card to the top of the clipboard.

On average, Americans gain weight during the holiday season. While the weight gain may not be dramatic, research shows it tends to stick and accumulate over the years. But you don’t have to succumb to this progression, say experts. “There are strategic steps to avoid holiday weight gain while still enjoying friends, family and holiday feasts,” says Sonya Angelone, registered dietitian nutritionist and Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics spokesperson. In preparation for a big holiday party or feast, do not skip meals throughout the day.

Enjoy the Holidays Without the Weight Gain This may result in overeating later. “It is especially important to eat breakfast,” says Angelone. “Highfiber and high-protein foods like oatmeal and milk with fruit, an egg and spinach on whole wheat toast, Greek yogurt with nuts, or nut butter on a wholewheat English muffin will satisfy hunger without a lot of calories.” Holiday meals tend to be large or buffet-style and include second and third helpings. While most people wouldn’t consider eating an entire cake, a common mistake is eating large portions of foods that are perceived as healthful. To avoid overeating,

use a smaller plate. It will encourage proper portion sizes. Also, start by filling your plate with vegetables and salad before going to the entrees and desserts. Research shows eating a salad before your meal can help you eat fewer calories overall. Eat slowly and savor every bite. Before you go back for seconds, wait 10 minutes to see if you really are still hungry. Including nutrient-rich foods in your diet is great, just remember that these foods have calories too, which should be taken into consideration with your whole eating plan. “And be mindful of alcohol consumption. Drink more water

throughout a party to quench your thirst and help keep the cocktails to one or two,” says Angelone. Remember to include at least 30 minutes of physical activity into your day to promote

health during the holidays -- and be sure to involve the whole family For more healthy holiday tips and information, consult a registered dietitian nutritionist. To learn

more and find an RDN in your area, visit www. eatright.org. Having healthful eating and exercise plans for holiday meals will help ensure success throughout the season and all year long.

indulge. Smooth Skin The cold winter air makes it harder to keep skin hydrated and smooth. You can rectify this by shaving smarter and using warm instead of hot water in the shower. Men should consider a hydrating razor like Schick Hydro 5 to enhance razor glide and help prevent irritation. The razor has a Hydrating Gel Reservoir to help reduce friction during repeat strokes by releasing a gel to hydrate skin. Blades contain built-in skin guards that smooth the

surface of the skin to reduce irritation. For a shaving gel, check out Edge Shave Gel, which has six formulas for various skin types. Edge Sensitive Skin Shave Gel has soothing aloe and lubricating molecules to enhance razor glide and keep sensitive skin looking great and protected from irritation. All those cocktail dresses will require a silky smooth shave. However, shaving and showering can be naturally drying, especially in winter. Women should check out a moisturizing razor like Schick Hydro Silk,

which contains a wateractivated moisturizing serum and five curvesensing blades with skin guards to help prevent irritation. Shaving and showering can be naturally drying, so your shave gel should offset this effect. Skintimate Skin Therapy Shave Gels, for example, contain nourishing moisturizers and vitamins to help replenish skin’s natural moisture; they foam into a rich, creamy lather, allowing for a close, comfortable shave and healthy-feeling, smooth skin. Stay Hydrated Chapped lips are never a good party look,

especially when there’s red wine or lipstick in the equation. Keep a medicated lip balm on hand this time of year to combat the parched look, and remember to stay hydrated. Drinking plenty of water can also help avoid puffy under eyes, which can afflict you when you’re stressed out or not getting enough sleep. This holiday party season, you can look your best by combatting cold weather and some of the less savory yuletide habits.

Bring Along Your Personal Assistant Most smartphones are equipped with voice recognition technology, allowing you to jot down notes, search the Web, add calendar updates, place calls and send messages, without typing. These “assistants” can prove highly useful during the holiday season. Driving from store to store looking for the perfect gift? BlackBerry Assistant can be activated via Bluetooth and can detect when you’re in the car and therefore unable to type. The assistant will take action based on your voice commands, helping you multi-task on-the-go. Don’t Be Camera Shy Smartphone camera technology has vastly improved over the past few years. For example, the new BlackBerry Passport has a 13-megapixel camera and is capable of taking the same high-quality photos as a traditional point and shoot camera. With just the click of a button, and

the help of photo editing tools like Photo Studio, you can take beautiful photos of the holiday party and share instantly with family and friends across social networks. Protect Yourself Thieves are working overtime during the holidays. When it comes to your smartphone, make sure all security features are enabled. This includes password protection, as well as activating app permissions, particularly on your banking apps. For BlackBerry users, apps such as BlackBerry Protect will safeguard users in the case of a lost or stolen phone by allowing users to remotely lock, locate or wipe their smartphone, ensuring sensitive information remains out of reach from potential thieves. With the right tech tools and strategies, you can get your to-dos done in record time this holiday season.

A square, glass 8x8 pan works great. In a small microwavable bowl, melt a couple tablespoons of butter (about 20 seconds.) While butter is melting, crush some Ritz crackers. As with most of my recipes, I will not be the ‘ingredient police.’ Use as many or as few crackers as you would like. Typically, one sleeve is the perfect amount for two bags of corn. Mix crackers and butter together, then sprinkle on top of the corn. See? I was not kidding, easiest side ever!

New-Look Roster Ready For 2014-2015 Season

FSU Sports Information Dept.

The Fredonia Blue Devil basketball will feature a brand new look this year. With All SUNYAC forward Tyrone Clark among last year's seniors who have moved on, only three players from last year's roster will be on hand Saturday afternoon when the Blue Devils open their season vs. SUNY Canton in the Greg Richards '08 Memorial Tip-Off Tournament at Allegheny College. Game time is 2 p.m. Consolation and championship games in the tournament are Sunday. Blue Devil second-year head coach Philip Seymore spent a large portion of last season on the recruiting trail. His haul: 13 newcomers comprised of nine freshmen, two sophomores, and two junior college transfers. "Playing against the best," Seymore said of his recruiting spiel, "coming to a great school and getting a great eduction, and getting a chance to play were our main selling points." All three returnees are junior guards. Robert Lyles

Head coach Linda-Hill MacDonald and the Fredonia women's basketball team open up its season this weekend at Alfred State. This year's squad will feature a distinct new look after graduating a pair of prolific scorers in Becky Hebert and Jaimie Warren, who combined for 2,726 career points.

My 100TH CAREER STAR, CONT. fROM PAgE 39

2013. If you’re wondering, “How on Earth does this guy know how many papers he’s been a part of?” well, I can’t say I blame you. You’ll just have to go read the beginning (or preferably all of, my Golfer’s Diary. It explains my odd compulsion for list making and record keeping. I should really work for the Elias Sports Bureau or something and just make a living keeping stats. I’m sure that those that know me personally aren’t surprised at all that I know exactly how many papers I’ve been sports editor for. But for my 100th career Chautauqua Star, I just wanted to say a big “Thank You” to my readers. I’ve written it before, but it really is the comments that I receive from readers that make my job enjoyable. I’ve had people stop me in Tops or even just while I’m walking my dog down Central Avenue in Dunkirk that recognize me from the paper. They almost always mention my Golfer’s Diary section. The best part about hearing comments from people is that I get to talk about sports with another human being. My job is interesting in that I get to research, watch and write about sports all of the time, but I rarely actually get to talk about it. Sure, I interview coaches or athletes for stories, but that’s a different

kind of discussion. But when I get an email from a reader, I always take the time to email them back because it’s guaranteed to be a conversation that I’m going to enjoy. The last 100 weeks have led to some amazing experiences for me. I’ve been graced opportunities because of my job title that I never would have gotten otherwise. In February of this past year, I got to interview Jackie Robinson’s daughter oneon-one for a solid 15 minutes. She told me stories of how Martin Luther King, Jr. used to come to her house for barbecues. Oh, you used to spend your afternoons with Jackie Robinson and Martin Luther King, Jr.? No big deal. Of lesser note, but equally exciting for someone that grew up watching the golden era of the World Wrestling Federation (it will always be the WWF to me), is the time WWF legend Tatanka called me at the office. I really thought it was my brother-in-law prank calling me from North Carolina. It sounded just like him. Needless to say, I was not surprised when I found out that Tatanka hails from the same general area of North Carolina that my brotherin-law was raised. I then got to meet Tatanka face-to-face in Jamestown later that month. I also was able to meet and interview

Jimmy Hart, Luke of the Bushwackers, Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake, Marty Jannetty and, the coup de grace, I spent an entire hour in the same room as “Rowdy” Roddy Piper and even got him to autograph my copy of his epic 80s movie, ‘They Live.’ I’ve now been able to attend the last two induction ceremonies for the Chautauqua County Sports Hall Of Fame. Let me tell you, meeting local legends is almost more of a thrill than meeting former WWF superstars. These are people that played Major League Baseball after playing right here in our little corner of New York State. These are people that played on the LPGA or raced stock cars professionally their whole lives. I have heard some amazing tales from those two ceremonies and it’s an event I always look forward to. On a side note, it seems like the time of year when the CSHOF will start announcing the 2015 inductees. Be sure to keep your eye on the Chautauqua Star and starnewsdaily. com for information. Speaking of starnewsdaily.com, everything I write gets posted on our website. There are comment sections on every story and I try to check them periodically, but there’s no way to get alerts or anything if someone writes on those. If you read something online

In what other industry could I have interviewed the daughter of baseball and civil rights legend Jackie Robinson?

and would like to give feedback, please send me an email instead of writing in the comment section. There’s a very good chance I won’t see your comments online. Aside from the special events that I get to attend and write about, the great coaches and athletes that I get to interview and the supremely entertaining sports that I get to watch in this area, I also get to do a few things of my own that I positively love — my Golfer’s Diary and my (that is to say Sir Melvin Pistachio’s) Knight of the Card Table board game reviews. In what other industry could I make a living out of golfing and playing board games? Just another reason why my job is awesome.

My Golfer’s Diary is perhaps my favorite part of my job. Not only can I leave the office and go play golf, but then I get to relive and write about it. I’ve encountered so many great people because of that section of the Star, too. The Wintersteen Family from Cassadaga Country Club are some of the best people I’ve ever met in my life. The Swanson brothers that own Pinehurst Golf Club in Westfield make everyone feel welcome the moment you open those doors. Sitting with them in the clubhouse, drinking a beer and shooting the breeze after a round of golf is one of the highlights of my week. I wish I was better at golf, surely, but I get to play an awful lot and I love it. My game reviews might not be the most

popular thing that I do, but I’ve gotten companies to send review copies of games to me. Not many companies, but free games are free games. Then I get to play them and write about them. How cool is that? The bottom line is that I love writing and I’m so blessed to be able to do it for a living. The fact that people actually want to read (for the most part) what I have to say is still astounding even after 100 weeks of this. So for that I thank everyone that reads my columns, stories, commentaries, reviews, etc. I wouldn’t be able to love my job without you. Stefan Gestwicki is the sports editor of the Chautauqua Star.

CHAUTAUQUA STAR WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 2014

Golfer's By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

The Golfer’s Diary is a weekly column for golf lovers. I am entering my third season as a golfer, so I’m not sure I totally qualify as a novice anymore, but I’ll discuss diﬀerent courses, weather eﬀects, new equipment and more relating to the game we love. No, I haven’t been out playing golf in the snow with an orange ball. But I have been thinking about golf as I carried my clubs down into the basement this past week. I was thinking about what a great time playing golf I had this past season. It’s just such a fantastic sport. It’s great to be outside and spending time with your friends. I get exercise by walking and I get to feel those competitive juices flowing, just trying to beat my own scores from previous rounds. With a full disclosure, I’m not sure if this next part is a Polish thing or just a Gestwicki thing. My dad says that his father (my Dziadzia, of course) was a compulsive list maker. He kept track of everything. My dad himself has the same… condition. Many of my six siblings inherited the same compulsion. But I don’t think there’s any doubt that I have it the worst. I keep track of everything. I once kept track of dice rolls for an entire year of board gaming. I use Microsoft Excel like a boss. So to anyone that knows me, it should come as no surprise that I save all of my golf scorecards. Then this morning, I went through and created an Excel worksheet that gave me averages for each hole at both Cassadaga Country Club and Pinehurst Golf Club — the two courses that I played most often this season. The results provided the statistical anomaly of the century. I broke every round into 9 holes, so I had

D i a ry

two separate entries for my 18-hole rounds. When I had both courses added up and divided, my average at CCC was 46.333 and my average at PGC was 46.333. That’s right. My average for both courses was exactly the same. All of those strokes. All of those rounds. All of those penalties. All of those lipped putts. All of those flubs, blades, slices, hooks, chunks, etc. One stroke anywhere is going to make those numbers different. The odds of both numbers being exactly the same are almost nonexistent. It’s especially strange when you consider that I played Pinehurst much more often at the beginning of the season when I was still knocking the rust off. Therefore a lot of my early scores there are pretty pitiful. That drives those numbers up quite a bit with a 53, 51 and 50 in there. Of course, I had a 53 my fi rst round at CCC, so that didn’t help those numbers any. The point is, just think about how crazy it is that both averages are exactly the same. The best thing about having these numbers is that, come next season, I’ll be able to say without hesitation that when I shoot a 45, that it’s better than average for me. Of course, I also have it broken down by each individual hole. So when I bogey No. 3 at Cassadaga next year, I can say that it’s still better than I averaged during the 2014 season. There were a number of surprises on my list. One of the biggest was No. 1 at CCC, where I averaged 4.9 on the par 4. In my head, I always start really slowly at that course, but apparently that’s not true. I have a seven and some sixes in there, but there are also a ton of pars and bogeys. It’s a significantly harder hole than No. 2, but I was nearly a half-stroke better on No.1 than No. 2.

so we had basically the same number of rounds. He beat me on two holes. I haven’t shown him the results yet, but I’m sure he’ll be able to guess which two holes those are. They’re holes that always eat me alive for some reason but he doesn’t have any problems with. Those two holes are No. 7 at Cassadaga, where I can drive the pond and then just fall apart, and No. 8 at Pinehurst, where again, I fall apart after driving the pond. I’m sensing a theme here. Bryan’s numbers are misleading because he was so very bad at the beginning of the season, but by the end, was only a few strokes behind me each round. But with a bunch of 8’s and 9’s on holes at the beginning of the year, it’s almost not fair to print his averages. Just for sake of the article, though, I’ll say that the hole he came closest to averaging par on was also No. 7 at Pinehurst. What do these numbers mean? Well, nothing really. But it’s fun to track progress. Next year, I’ll be shooting to average 45 or so on each course. Or hopefully I can at least improve by a fraction of a stroke on each hole. I’m sad that golfi ng season is over, but I truly had an awesome time this year. Apparently I was quite good at the par I’ll say it again, if you are a solo 3’s at Pinehurst.

No. 4 was my best hole on the course. I averaged a 4.5 for the year, just a half-stroke over par. I never got anything higher than bogey, which is pretty astounding that I didn’t totally blow up the hole at least once. There’s even a birdie here, which was a startlingly rare occurrence this year. To no one’s surprise, I was a full stroke over par on No. 6, the fi rst par 3. I was always super close, but never on the green with my tee shots here. Using a stroke to chip on and then two putt (at best) is a sure-fi re way to get some high numbers. Also of no surprise was that No. 8 was my worst hole on the course, where I averaged more than two-and-a-half strokes over par. The par 3 confounded me all season, to the tune of a 5.6 average. Over at Pinehurst, the numbers weren’t surprising at all. It’s the course I played most often this season and I had similar rounds most of the time. There were certain holes that simply got in my head and killed my scores. On No. 1, a par 5, I averaged 5.5. Not too shabby, right? But then on No. 2, a par 4, I averaged 5.6. I recorded more strokes on the par 4 than I did on the par 5. That’s not how this game is supposed to work.

LAST WEEK VS. SPREAD: 7-9 (.466) LAST WEEK STRAIGHT PICKS: 11-4 (.733) SEASON VS. SPREAD: 86-88 (.494) SEASON STRAIGHT PICKS: 106-67-1 (.613) There are no more bye weeks. Each team has five more chances to get into the playoffs. From there, anything can (and usually does) happen. To the picks! CHICAGO BEARS (5-6) at DETROIT LIONS (7-4) Upon watching the conclusion of the Bears’ win over Tampa Bay this past week, I heard one of the announcers say that the Bears are still alive in the playoff hunt. I kind of laughed at that at first. But upon closer review, this severely flawed team can jump right back into the hunt with a win on Thanksgiving. Think about it. A Bears

win would put them at 6-6 while also dropping Detroit down to 7-4. The other teams that they’re chasing in the NFC wild card race are all playing on Thanksgiving as well. Either the Eagles or Cowboys will get a loss. Either the Seahawks or 49ers will also get a loss. Two of those four teams will drop to 7-5, just a game better than the Bears. Crazy. The Lions haven’t played well in weeks and weeks and it’s finally catching up to them as they were plastered by the Patriots last week. They’re home and that stadium should be rocking for this annual game, but the offense now has back-to-back games without a touchdown. The Bears defense is horrid, for sure, but the Lions have to execute better if they want to avoid yet another lateseason collapse. PICK VS. SPREAD: Bears (+6.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Lions. PHILADELPHIA EAGLES (8-3) at DALLAS COWBOYS (8-3) These two teams are

going to play each other two times in a threeweek stretch. If either team can win both games, it will almost assuredly win the division. There’s a chance that one of these two teams even earns a first-round bye in the NFC. The Eagles have weathered the storm for the most part since quarterback Nick Foles went down with a broken collarbone. Aside from that horrible beatdown in Green Bay, the Eagles have played well. Mark Sanchez is going to throw up the occasional stinker, but it’s possible that he’s a good fit for this offense. Jeremy Maclin is already at 980 yards and nine touchdowns, proving that he’s a legitimate No. 1 option at wide receiver. The defense isn’t good, however, as the Eagles are 30th in the league against the pass, allowing over 266 yards per game through the air. Their 16th-ranked run defense will be tested with DeMarco Murray as well. Dallas survived a scare against a Giants team that’s way out of the race. But a road win against a divisional opponent is rarely an easy task, so give the Cowboys some credit for holding on. Tony Romo threw four touchdown passes, including the game-winner to Dez Bryant and looks poised for this matchup. As always, Murray’s workload is a concern. He’s already carried the ball 268 times — LeSean

McCoy is a distant second at 217 attempts. Matt Forte is third at 196. Of course, Murray is doing a lot with those carries as among running backs with at least 100 carries, only Justin Forsett (5.4 ypc) has a higher yards per carry than Murray’s beefy 5.1 average. Jamaal Charles and Arian Foster are at 5.1 as well, for what it’s worth. Given the choice between Tony Romo and Mark Sanchez, plus the fact that Romo is at home, I’ll always take Romo, though I like the Eagles team more. PICK VS. SPREAD: Cowboys (EVEN). STRAIGHT PICK: Cowboys. SEATTLE SEAHAWKS (7-4) at SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS (7-4) Both of these teams are chasing the Arizona Cardinals in the NFC West, but I think most fans see these two teams as the class of the division now that the Cardi-

nals lost Carson Palmer for the year. This is the first of two meetings for these teams and the winner will be in position for a wild card, while the loser will be thrown into a dogfight for a playoff spot. The Seahawks kept their hopes of a division title alive by knocking off the Cardinals last week. The defense took full advantage of Drew Stanton being under center, holding Arizona to just three points. The offense struggled again, but put up enough points early so that this was never much of a game. But the fact that the Seahawks haven’t scored more than 20 points either of the last two weeks has to be a concern. The remaining schedule is brutal for the Seahawks. If they lose this, they’re looking at a win out situation, which will be very hard given the schedule. The 49ers barely held off a putrid Washington team, despite playing at Levi Stadium. Like

the Seahawks, the 49ers offense is the concern. Since Week 7, San Francisco has put up more than 17 points just once. The odds of either of these teams putting up a lot of points in this contest are pretty slim. This will surely be a close, low-scoring, hard-hitting game. It’s exactly the type of game that fans will enjoy after watching two high-scoring games earlier in the day. Also like Seattle, San Fran’s remaining schedule is brutal (sans Oakland), so this is a very important game. PICK VS. SPREAD: Seahawks (+1). STRAIGHT PICK: Seahawks. WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM (3-8) at INDIANAPOLIS COLTS (7-4) Is it just me, or does Indianapolis get to play the NFL’s equivalent of a middle school team every single week?

SELf-PROCLAiMED ExPERT PiCkS, CONT. fROM PAgE 42 it’s no surprise that the Colts’ four losses are to Denver, Philadelphia, New England and Pittsburgh. Those are actual NFL teams, not modified teams. Yes, the Colts have beaten a couple of fringe good teams. They beat Baltimore and Cincinnati, but both of those teams have struggled badly at times this season. If this team gets into the playoffs and has to play at New England or Denver, does anyone think that the Colts will come out on top? I know I don’t. Except for the fact that Andrew Luck throws the ball a ton and therefore puts up good stats, this is not a team that is good at anything. Even within the passing offense,

Luck has been sacked 20 times and thrown 10 interceptions, so it’s hardly an elite attack. Speaking of not elite, Washington is terrible at everything. This is just a bad football team. Yes, they stayed with the 49ers for the majority of last week’s games, but the Football Team is 3-8 for a reason. Two of Washington’s wins are over Jacksonville and Tennessee, too, so let’s not even get carried away into thinking this team is even 3-8 good. There is maybe one more winnable game on the schedule for Washington, but this isn’t it. PICK VS. SPREAD: Football Team (+10). STRAIGHT PICK: Colts. TENNESEE TI-

TANS (2-9) at HOUSTON TEXANS (5-6) No one cares alert! No one cares alert! Oh sorry, that’s just my AFC South or NFC South divisional game alarm. As if this game wouldn’t have been horrible enough three weeks ago, it’s now a battle of quarterbacks that hardly even belong in the NFL. The Titans have turned the reins over to Zach Mettenberger while the Texans are going with Ryan Mallet. This isn’t exactly Brady vs. Manning. EDIT: Mallet is now being ruled out for the season with a torn right pectoral muscle. Great. Who cares? If Arian Foster plays, which is a big ‘if’

considering this guy’s injury history, then the Texans at least have a couple of stud players with J.J. Watt having almost wrapped up Defensive Player Of The Year already and Andre Johnson being a future Hall Of Famer. I honestly had to look up who Houston played last week because this team is absolutely as mediocre as mediocre can be. Let’s see…random Houston stat — the team actually has a +16 point differential despite a losing record. That’s something I guess. Anything that could possibly be written about the Titans would be a waste of ink. If it wasn’t for Jacksonville being in the same division, it’s possible that the Titans would be the worst team in the league. Only a pair of games against the Jags will keep this team from picking first overall. And even then, it’s possible if somehow Oakland wins another game. How mad would the league be if boring Tennessee got the first overall pick? Anyway… PICK VS. SPREAD: Texans (-7). STRAIGHT PICK: Texans. CLEVELAND

BROWNS (7-4) at BUFFALO BILLS (6-5) After totally dismantling the Jets on Monday Night Football, the Bills have a quick turnaround to host the seemingly playoff-bound Browns. Of course, that all depends on the condition of Ralph Wilson Stadium following the historic winter storms that pummeled Buffalo last week. Brian Hoyer is apparently still the Browns’ starter despite throwing three interceptions and no touchdowns in Cleveland’s comeback win against Atlanta last week. Many people in Cleveland are clamoring for Johnny Manziel to take over. Normally there wouldn’t be any talk of replacing the quarterback on a 7-4 team, but the Alex Smith-Colin Kaepernick situation of a few years ago in San Francisco sets some precedence. Getting Josh Gordon back is huge for this offense. That guy can flat out play. The Bills kept their playoff hopes alive with a monster performance in Detroit against the Jets. That all came with next to no practice time as players were liter-

ally buried in their own houses last week. The Jets took away Sammy Watkins, but secondyear receiver Robert Woods stepped up in a big way with over 100 yards and a score. Anthony Dixon had the Bills’ first blocked punt (which Manny Lawson picked up for a touchdown) in over a decade. Too bad this team lost to both Kansas City and Miami. That’s going to make it all but impossible to make the playoffs. There are just too many teams in front of them. Of course, a win here would certainly help. PICK VS. SPREAD: Bills (-1.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Bills. SAN DIEGO CHARGERS (7-4) at BALTIMORE RAVENS (7-4) How good of a game is this? Both team won tough games last week to keep their hopes of not just a playoff spot, but a division title, alive. The Chargers are 2-0 since getting running back Ryan Mathews back from a sprained MCL. They’ve been cautious with his workload, but he’s still managed to tally 175 rushing yards in those two games. This team was incredibly one dimensional with Mathews out, so his presence has helped quarterback Phillip Rivers immensely. Keenan Allen was perhaps the biggest benefactor last week as he finally had a huge game. Allen scored just his second touchdown ContinuED on PG 44

CHAUTAUQUA STAR WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 2014

Self-Proclaimed Expert Picks, Cont. from page 43 of the season. The Ravens’ defense stepped up big against the Saints on Monday Night as Baltimore handed New Orleans its third straight home loss. Sure, they gave up over 400 yards passing, but they pressured Drew Brees all game and came up with big stops when they had to. Joe Flacco is going to have to be better if this team wants to go deep in the playoffs, but the Ravens have definitely found a capable running back in Justin Forsett. The Chargers coming across the country is what determines this pick. PICK VS. SPREAD: Chargers (+4.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Ravens. NEW YORK GIANTS (3-8) at JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS (1-10) Oof. Apparently the NFL used up most of its good games for Week 13 on Thanksgiving Day. Fans that are watching the Sunday games are in for a snooze fest. The Giants, that is to say Odell Beckham Jr., made some headlines this past week despite losing to the Cowboys on Sunday night. Beckham’s catch was one of the sickest things I’ve ever seen during a sporting event. It was insane watching it in real time, but then in slow motion you can really comprehend what just happened. That will be a highlight that will be shown for years on NFL promotional material. Insane, that catch. There’s not much else

to say about the Giants. Their offseason will be the most interesting thing about this season. Will Tom Coughlin be fired? Will Eli Manning be a cap casualty? It’ll be fun in New York. The Jaguars are just playing out the season at this point. They’ll hope that Blake Bortles continues to improve, but their scouting team now has the work to do. This team can not keep screwing up draft picks. At this point, no big free agent is going to sign with the Jags no matter how much money is thrown at them. There’s just too much losing going on down there. Bortles may be the future, but with still only eight touchdowns and 15 interceptions, the present isn’t looking too bright. PICK VS. SPREAD: Giants (EVEN). STRAIGHT PICK: Giants. CINCINNATI BENGALS (7-3-1) at TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS (2-9) Here’s the new theory about the Bengals: If they aren’t playing in prime time, against an elite opponent or in the playoffs, then the Bengals are among the best teams in the league. But stack them up against, oh anyone worth while, and Cincy quickly turns into a team with shoddy quarterback play, a shaky secondary and poor clock management skills. But for this week, at least, the Bengals should once again look like world beaters. The players probably see this

trip to Tampa as more of a vacation to warm weather with a football game on the side than actual work. Jeremy Hill continues to impress while filling in as the lead running back while Geovani Bernard works his way back from injury. Against a Bucs team that’s allowing over 115 rushing yards per game, Hill (or Bernard if he plays) should be in for a big game. Of course, the Bucs are also allowing over 250 yards passing per game, so everyone on the Bengals offense is probably licking their chops. In a division in which all four teams have at least six wins, the Bengals are hanging onto first place by a thread. At this point, there is no room for slip ups against teams like Tampa Bay. The Browns play the Bills, a losable game. The Ravens play the Chargers, a losable game. The Steelers play the Saints, a losable game. This week might be the Bengals’ best chance at putting a little breathing room between themselves and the other AFC North contenders. This division promises to have an exciting finish. Pittsburgh vs. Cincy in Week 17 is looking awfully good right now. PICK VS. SPREAD: Bengals (-4). STRAIGHT PICK: Bengals. OAKLAND RAIDERS (1-10) at ST. LOUIS RAMS (4-7) Stop the presses! The Raiders won a game.

Not only did the Raiders’ win snap what had been a 16-game losing streak, but it was against a division rival and it opened up the AFC wild card race like few thought was possible. Suddenly a team like the Bills might not be completely out of it. Even with the Dolphins losing to Denver, they’re still right there. Unfortunately, that’s all that can be said about Oakland. Yes, they finally won a game, but this is a sorry excuse for a football team. No offense. Weak defense. Just bad. The Rams can apparently only beat the elite NFL teams. Wins against Seattle, San Francisco and Denver will be the highlights

of the season, but this really isn’t a good football team, either. The defensive line can be dominating at times, but the unit is also shut out far too often by average offensive lines. There’s too much talent on that line for it to ever get totally shut down, but it does. That makes me question coaching and effort. I’d expect big changes in St. Louis (or possibly Los Angeles if the Rams move) this offseason. PICK VS. SPREAD: Rams (-7). STRAIGHT PICK: Rams. NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (4-7) at PITTSBURGH STEELERS (7-4) Now what? The Saints have lost three straight games and still sit in

first place in their division. The 2-9 Buccaneers still have a very real chance to win the division. Com’on NFC South. Meanwhile, the Steelers are 7-4 and in a dogfight in the AFC North. Every team has seven wins. How crazy is that? If push came to shove, I’d say that none of the teams in that division are real Super Bowl threats, but it still makes for a fun regular season story. Pittsburgh is coming off a bye, is playing at home and taking on a team that just played late Monday. All of those things point to a Steelers win. I’ve doubted Pittsburgh too many times over the past five Continued on pg 45

Self-Proclaimed Expert Picks, Cont. from page 44 years or so. Perhaps I’ve finally learned my lesson. PICK VS. SPREAD: Steelers (-3). STRAIGHT PICK: Steelers. CAROLINA PANTHERS (3-7-1) at MINNESOTA VIKINGS (4-7) No, the Panthers aren’t out of it yet. In fact, depending on how things shake out, the Panthers could actually be in first place in the NFC South after this week. It would take a lot of help, but it’s not impossible. Of course, winning this game might be a tough enough task for the Panthers, who have struggled mightily since having Greg Hardy suspended. He’s just one player, but he should be given the league’s MVP trophy after the way this defense (and offense) have completely fallen apart without his presence. Perhaps the bye week helped cure some of the Panthers’ woes, of which there were plenty. The Vikings are coming off of a loss, but a hard-fought, encouraging loss to the Packers. Teddy Bridgewater, in particular, played very well. Yes, he missed some open targets, but accuracy has always been the knock against Bridgewater. But the rookie quarterback showed the ability to move within the pocket to avoid pressure as well the speed to pick up yardage with his legs if need be. He’s probably never going to be a pure pocket passer that picks apart defenses with his arm,

but it was an encouraging performance from a talented young player. The Vikings defense had the perfect game plan and executed well last week, but couldn’t quite beat Rodgers. With another effective game plan, this team should be able to beat Cam Newton and the Panthers. PICK VS. SPREAD: Panthers (+2.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Vikings. ARIZONA CARINDALS (9-2) at ATLANTA FALCONS (4-7) This battle of the birds could theoretically be between two first-place teams depending on what happens in Monday’s Saints game (this is being written Monday afternoon for a Tuesday deadline, sorry.) Yes, despite the huge difference in wins, these two teams could both be headed to the playoffs. Neither would make the Super Bowl, of course, but anything can happen. The Cardinals failed to all but wrap up the NFC West by losing in Seattle last week. There’s no shame in losing in Seattle, most teams do. But now the team has to play another road game, this time traveling all the way across the country. Last week’s loss hurt, but shouldn’t derail the Cardinals. Their defense is still good enough to win games, especially against a mistake-prone team like Atlanta. What should be a concern is the running game, where Andre Ellington is among the league lead-

ers in rushing attempts, but is averaging a mere 3.3 yards per carry. That won’t cut it. This guy is supposed to be a playmaker. It’s hard to even take the Falcons seriously anymore, but if the Saints lose on Monday, Atlanta really would be in first place. Just typing that makes me sick to my stomach. I’ve said it all season, but this team has no offensive line and no defensive line. For all the quarterback love in the NFL lately, this is still a game that’s won in the trenches. That’s just not anything the Falcons are equipped to do, hence the horrible record. Has a team ever won a division AND had a record worthy of a top-10 pick? The NFC South is shaping up that way. PICK VS. SPREAD: Cardinals (-2). STRAIGHT PICK: Cardinals. NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS (9-2) at GREEN BAY PACKERS (8-3) Stop me if you’ve heard this one before, but this could conceivably be a Super Bowl preview game. These are two of the hottest teams in the NFL led by two quarterbacks that are playing out of their minds right now. If you don’t have this one circled on your calendars, you’re not a real fan of the NFL. The Patriots find themselves as an underdog despite being the hottest team in the league. Not only has this team now won seven straight games, but they’ve been pummeling teams. Not

only have the Pats been pummeling teams, but they’ve been throttling the very best teams in the league. In the past three games, New England has beaten Denver, Indianapolis and Detroit (teams all currently either leading their divisions or holding a wild card spot) by a combined score of 119-50. They just held Detroit without a touchdown. They had a guy rush for 200 yards and four scores, show up late for practice, benched him for the whole next game and still put up 34 points. This is a scary good team right now. Of course, on the other side of the field resides the league’s best player — Aaron Rodgers. In 75 fewer pass attempts than Tom Brady, Rodgers has thrown for 41 fewer yards and four MORE touchdowns. Oh, and he can turn around and hand the ball off to a human bulldozer in Eddie Lacy, who just rushed for 125 yards against the Vikings. Rodgers is borderline unstoppable at this point. But so is Brady. Mike McCarthy and Bill Belichick are two of the best (if not THE two best) coaches in the NFL. This game has all the makings of a whoever-has-the-balllast-wins kind of game. PICK VS. SPREAD: Packers (-3). STRAIGHT PICK: Packers. DENVER BRONCOS (8-3) at KANSAS CITY CHIEFS (7-4) Both of these teams had scares in Week 12, but

the Broncos were able to overcome theirs while the Chiefs succumbed to the lowly Raiders. That loss changed this game from a battle for the division to a chance to Denver to all but wrap up business and look forward to the playoffs. In Kansas City, however, that’s anything but a sure thing. Until the fourth quarter of last week’s win over Miami, the Broncos really hadn’t played well for a few weeks. It’s a team that’s only 2-3 on the road this season and now travels to one of the toughest environments in the league. Part of Denver’s issues were a lack of a running game, but C.J. Anderson made that look like ancient history with a 27-carry, 167-yard effort on the ground. That effectiveness allowed Peyton Manning to toss four touchdowns against one of the league’s best pass defenses. The kicking game shouldn’t be overlooked in Denver, however. Missing a kick during a blowout is one thing, but Brandon McManus has not been good for the Broncos. In games like this, that will probably be close and determine playoff seeding, the kicking game can be hugely important. The Chiefs have to be kicking themselves for that game last week. They became the first team in a full calendar year to lose to the Raiders. That’s not exactly the kind of stat you expect from a team still hoping to win its division. With San Diego

seemingly back on track, the Chiefs are going to be hard pressed to even make the playoffs as it stands now. Still, this team has won five straight home games including wins over Seattle and New England, so the confidence should be there. Plus the players have to be sick of Manning kicking them around. This could be a payback type of game for the Chiefs. PICK VS. SPREAD: Broncos. STRAIGHT PICK: Broncos. MIAMI DOLPHINS (6-5) at NEW YORK JETS (2-9) Ryan Tannehill is playing very well. The Dolphins have seemingly simplified their playbook to bare bones, but it’s working. Tannehill struggled when Miami tried to get aggressive and throw the ball down the field, but they’re having great success with the short throws. Giving up 39 points is never good, but chalk that up to it being against Peyton Manning. If the Jets put up 39 points, I’ll eat my hat. The Jets are awful. Just awful. Michael Vick got banged up against the Bills and was replaced by Geno Smith. Time will tell how bad Vick’s injury really is. He was getting hit on nearly every play by that Buffalo line. Things don’t get too much easier against the Dolphins’ vaunted line. Whoever plays quarterback for the Jets is in trouble. PICK VS. SPREAD: Dolphins (-4.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Dolphins.

Rumble In The House: 20 Minutes Of Raucous Fun By Sir Melvin Pistachio Official Knight of the Card Table

*Collectible card games, role-playing games, living card games and board games aren’t exactly ‘sports’, but they’re a huge passion of mine and many others. In this weekly section I’m going to review one of the many games in my menagerie of awesomeness. These reviews are geared towards getting new gamers to realize there is more board games than Monopoly. There are certain games that you simply can’t play with younger gamers or those new to the hobby. I’m not going to break out a game of Five Tribes with my eight-year-old niece. That’s why it’s great to have a plethora of light, fun, filler-type games in your collection. If you’re looking for a great one, look no further than Rumble in the House. BACKGROUND Rumble in the House is designed by Ken Rush with illustrations by Kwanchai Moriya. The game was published by Flatlined Games in 2011. The game plays 3-6 players, but absolutely is better with more players. The chaos created with a six-player game is palpable. RITH definitely works with three players, but the madness is slightly subdued. Suggested ages are eight and up, but I can definitely see younger players getting into this game, they just might not grasp strategy quite as well. Playing time is 20 minutes and even that seems a little long. It’s a fastpaced, fun-filled…well…Rumble in the House. INTRODUCTION Rumble in the House is a game of bluffing and deduction. Twelve characters are living together in a small house and it’s about to get testy. A

player simply chooses one of the characters in that room and removes them from the house. As characters are removed from the house, they should be placed in a straight line on the table. When there is only one character remaining in the house, the round is over and scoring is tallied. Players reveal their hidden character tiles, though points are only scored for the higherscoring of those characters. The last character remaining is worth 10 points. The second-to-last is worth nine, third-to-last is worth eight and so on and so forth. With 12 characters, it means the first two characters remaining aren’t worth any points. The points are marked on the tracker and another house is set up.

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

There will likely be less fishing pressure along the tributaries this weekend, with the opening of regular deer season. Consider wearing some blaze orange if you are fishing along wooded streams. Cattaraugus is in prime condition going into the weekend, with current flow of about 300 cubic feet per second. Despite water temperatures dropping into the 30s, many sections of the Catt were fishing well on Thursday. There has been no change on the small to medium sized tributaries. They are still low and clear. Fishing has generally been fair at best, except for some better action during brief bumps in flow. Using light fluorocarbon tippets, small baits, small hooks and moving stealthily is the best approach on the small and medium streams currently. Lake Erie steelhead commonly hit natural baits like egg sacs and worms, fl ies such as egg imitations, nymphs, streamers and bugger patterns and lures like minnow-type stickbaits and in-line spinners. 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.

Lake Erie Steelhead Diary Cooperator Program

The DEC Lake Erie Fisheries Unit is seeking active Lake Erie tributary anglers to participate in the Diary Cooperator Program. The diary

program provides valuable information on angler's fishing trips and helps biologists assess the status of the lake and tributary trout fishery in the New York waters of Lake Erie. For more details or to sign up, contact senior aquatic biologist Jim Markham by phone at 716-3660228 or email: james.markham@ dec.ny.gov.

Casting spoons or drifting egg sacs usually produces some rainbow trout catches this time of year, from Bird Island Pier, Broderick Park and the northern tip of Squaw Island.

upper Niagara River

Chautauqua Lake

There is still good smallmouth bass and muskellunge fishing opportunity in the upper Niagara River, before both seasons close after November 30th. Actually, November is traditionally the best month to fish for musky in the river. Target musky by drifting along weed edges or over bottom structure with 8-10 inch tube jigs, large stickbaits or large shiners. Trolling around the outer Buffalo Harbor and North Gap can sometimes produce a musky catch. Look for smallmouth bass in areas that offer some relief from he main current, like humps, drop-offs or other bottom structure. The humps upriver of Strawberry Island are a good bet. Bigger golden shiners work well for bass on the feed. Broderick Park and Bird Island Pier will be tougher to access for fishing over the foreseeable future, as the Ferry Street Bridge is now closed for repairs. Visitors can only access Squaw island by the bridge at the north end, and then walk the riverside path to Broderick Park. Yellow perch often show in decent numbers along City of Buffalo shore sites in fall. Emerald shiners fished just off the bottom is a good bet.

The open-lake fishing season is winding down and most anglers have pulled their boats for the season. However, fishing prospects are still good. Anglers can find yellow perch and sunfish in nearshore areas of 8-15 feet of water. Small minnows, worms or small ice fishing jigs tipped with waxworms work well. Fall crappie concentrations can often be found in the same locations as they were in the spring. Small tube jigs or minnows work best for crappie. Trollers can target musky off weed edges with medium to large stickbaits. Fish for smallmouth bass outside weed edges with live shiners or tube jigs near the bottom. Target walleye around the deeper holes in 25-45 feet of water. Vertical jigging with spoons, jigging Rapalas or medium sized shiners are good tactics. DEC Randolph Fish Hatchery completed their annual fall stocking of broodstock trout in Allegany and Cattaraugus Counties. All breeder trout stocked are over 2 years old and are stocked in waters where trout fishing is permitted yearround. If you need more fishing information or would like to contribute to

the fishing report, please call or e-mail Mike Todd (716-851-7010; michael.todd@dec.ny.gov). Good Luck Fishing! The fishing hotline can also be heard at (716) 679-ERIE or (716) 855-FISH.

''I wasn't even going to take the job until Tony got in his airplane,'' Childers said. ''On my drive home, I said, 'If anybody is willing to do that for me and spend that kind of money for me, they're going to look after me.' He looked me in the eyes that night and said, 'We're going to do this.''' By the time Harvick started at SHR last December, Childers had a fleet of fast Chevrolets waiting for him. The team Childers had built for Harvick turned heads from their very first test session. When they won their second race together, it became evident this was a championship-contending team - one that

was a stalwart even as SHR was rocked by Stewart's involvement in a deadly sprint car crash. ''To be a part of building something, it really changed my life,'' Harvick said. ''I don't think I've ever been happier in my whole life than I have been this year. From a personal standpoint, from a professional standpoint, you see all the things that you have around you, and you're lucky. I'm pretty lucky to be able to do what I used to pay to do for a hobby. I have no idea how much money I make. I love showing up to work, I love coming to the race track and love what I do. And it's been a long, long time since I could sit up here and honestly tell you that I love the experience of everything.'' So it made sense that the post-race celebration was emotional. DeLana was crying on the pit box before her husband even took the checkered flag. Childers was moved to tears on the championship stage and Harvick's voice cracked as he held 2-year-old Keelan. And then there was Stewart, who retired from the race and watched the finish from his motorhome. He made it to the celebration in street clothes, found Harvick and grabbed him in a long, tight embrace. Stewart had made good on his promise. ''It's not about me right now; it's about us as a group,'' he said. ''I'm really proud to not only have a teammate, but most of all, one of my best friends be out there taking pictures as champion this year. That's a great feeling to be up here and be a part of that with both of these guys.''
