They'd have to work well with others, be professional and have common sense. Some of these are personal requirements, some of them are professional, but I find them all crucial qualities to this profession. But, nowhere on my list, would they need to be an advertiser, a donator, a financial supply to our company. In fact, I would be tempted to more quickly turn away someone who tried to use their financial influence to gain a position they weren't qualified for. That's a newspaper. How much more a nation? A representative of our country's beliefs and values should be qualified to do that. But, in a national atmosphere where it's acceptible to murder millions of babies and have a large percentage live off the government's dime, a soap opera star dealing with a multigenerational ally seems to be par for the unfortunate course.

Toys for Tots coordinators Terri Johnson, left, and Heather Brown, right, pose with The Reverend Amy Rohler, the executive director of Community Helping Hands, at The Gateway Center.

Families interested in registering their children to receive toys through Toys for Tots can do so in one of two ways. Families that are involved with area human-service organizations and after-school programs can have staff at those agencies submit an application on the family’s behalf. Families that are not connected with a humanservice agency can apply for toys in person at the following dates and locations: in Jamestown, at The Gateway Center, 31 Water Street, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. Friday, December 5, and 9:00 to noon Saturday, December 6 (use the west entrance). These are the only times that walk-in applications will be accepted. Applicants must meet income criteria and bring proof of household income as well as identification for adults and all children living in the household. Children from birth to age 17 living at home are eligible

to receive toys. “The Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Foundation and The Resource Center have similar missions in wanting to help people in need, so this is such a good fit for us,” Terri Johnson, TRC’s director of rehabilitation and employment services, said of The Resource Center’s commitment to organizing the toy drive. She and Ms. Brown have coordinated the effort since TRC took on the project in 2000. “Each year we are overwhelmed by the generous support from our community, and we are looking forward to another great season.” In addition to the good feeling that comes from donating toys to make the holidays merrier for a less-fortunate child, lots of people find joy in helping to sort the donated toys and prepare them to be distributed to families. Those interested in assisting with this year’s Tots for Tots drive can contact Ms. Johnson (661-1433) or Ms. Brown (661-1042).

it allows girls to hone the important business and technological skills needed to compete in the digital age,” said Cindy L. Odom, CEO of Girl Scouts of Western New York. “Girl Scouts will be better positioned to become leaders both today and in the future.” More than two-thirds of the female CEOs on the Fortune 500 list learned basic business acumen by selling Girl Scout Cookies and are part of the more than 59 million living Girl Scout alumnae today. Yet only 21 percent of chief information officers at Fortune 100 companies are women, and an even smaller number are CEOs of firms engaged in science, technology, engineering or math (STEM) fields.

Girls decide how to spend their troop cookie money and reinvest it back into their neighborhoods through community service projects and learning experiences, like travel opportunities. Because 100 percent of the net revenue raised through the Girl Scout Cookie Program stays with the local council

and troops, customers who purchase Girl Scout Cookies are not only getting a delightful treat, but they are also making an important investment in their communities. Today’s launch of Digital Cookie represents an initial phase of a program that will progress over time. Future versions of Digital Cookie will create better user experiences for girls and customers alike, and a more robust customer interface. A majority of the 112 Girl Scout councils nationwide are participating in Digital Cookie in the 2014–2015 cookie season, with additional councils expected to be on board by the end of 2015, using an updated version 2.0. The Girl Scout Cookie Program officially kicks off January 17, 2015, in Western New York, although local Girl Scouts will be able to get started with the Digital Cookie program before then.

“Giving an adoption kit allows you to give doubly. Not only do you receive a Christmas gift for a loved one, your donation to the CWC is also an investment in the health of our local forests and waterways, and thereby our local economy,” said Jablonski. Many of the animals available for adoption are threatened by habitat loss, making the conservation of forests, wetlands, and streams important the survival of the species as a whole. Amphibians, like the frogs and toad in the program, are especially sensitive to pollution such as litter, chemicals, and fertilizers, since they absorb water through their skin. Despite its name, the Common Loon is a rare sight in our region. It is classified as a Species of Special Concern in New York State. The CWC’s lakeshore preserves like the Wells Bay Lakeshore Forest Preserve, Loomis Goose Creek, and the

Outlet Greenway provide potential nesting sites for the loon. “It was especially exciting to see the loon at our Wells Bay preserve. It’s rewarding to know that our conservation efforts are working to provide habitat and clean water for animals like these amazing birds.” Adoption kits are available for a donation of $25 or more, plus shipping, and can be mailed directly to the recipient anywhere in the contiguous United States. To adopt an animal, call the CWC at (716) 664-2166, or visit their Adoption

The Chautauqua Watershed Conservancy is a local county-wide not-for-profit land trust and watershed education organization that works to protect water quality through the conservation of lands that store, fi lter and deliver clean water to the county’s lakes, streams and wells.

The Weekly Word

The Matchless Name of Jesus science. For the wicked, this Name questions the intelligence of gambling eternity and makes for uneasiness. For the saved, this Name is a sweet pardon and commission to redeem a hurting world. To the faithful, the Name above every name grants access to the Throne of Grace to obtain mercy and find help in this very present time of need. Some hold fast the Name; others mock in bitter contempt. Rev. Tim Stahlman Believers sing the Name; the Family Church Jamestown hard in heart gnash their fcjamestown.org teeth at the sound of it. The Name of Jesus puts every heart on trial. Has ever a name existed Acts 4:12 says, “Neither is that has provoked so many there salvation in any other thoughts as this Name? To (name); for there is none the forgiven, this Name is the refuge from a guilty con- other Name under Heaven given to men WHEREBY

WE MUST BE SAVED.” The Name of Jesus has received the greatest audience in all Heaven. So much that sinners are granted a hearing by approaching in that Name. Without that Name the ears of God are closed to the requests of depraved humanity. Sinners are turned away until that beautiful Name is breathed. Romans 10:13, “For whosoever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved.” Now a once shut out sinner receives full pardon and citizen rights because that Name was mingled with faith words. The Name of Jesus upon the lips of the most wretched sinner can arrest the attention of the Heavenly Father. We need not look any further than the Name of Jesus.

In Acts chapter 3, the Apostle Peter taps into a great reserve of power stored in the Name. Peter and John happen upon a man crippled from birth begging for alms beside a gate of the Temple called Beautiful. This man is destitute. There is no known cure for his condition and had there been he could not afford it. This man had reached the lowest strata of society. When he saw Peter and John he thought surely he would receive money. But what he received was a powerful introduction to the Name of Jesus. Peter simply set his eyes upon the man in Acts 3:6 and said, “...In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise and walk.” Peter didn’t wait for the man to receive a doubting thought

so he grabbed the man and hoisted him to his feet. The man not only walked but he began to leap. The Name recreated bones and energized tendons. The Name didn’t leave the man even to a limp. He was restored to enjoy life again, to find an honest living, and to begin a testimony of worshipping at the Temple instead of begging at its gates. This man’s destiny was overturned by this Mighty Name in the voice of a believing one. This Name is still overturning destinies today. Salvation is found in the Name. Healing is contained in every syllable. What does your heart believe about the Name of Jesus?

College Connections Program Honors Teacher Contributed Article JCC

Sarah Rose, a Spanish teacher at Randolph Central School, was presented the Teacher of the Year award during the annual College Connections professional development day at Jamestown Community College. Ms. Rose has taught in the College Connections program since 2010. She currently teaches Inter-

mediate Spanish I and II. The College Connections program annually recognizes a teacher who best exemplifies the core program standards. Ms. Rose, who was chosen from among 191 program teachers from 44 partner high schools and BOCES centers, was nominated by her JCC faculty liaison, Carol Anderson. “In the many years I have observed this teacher, I have never

come away thinking that there was anything but excellence demonstrated by both the class and the teacher,” Ms. Anderson remarked. “There is a great deal of encouragement happening, an ever greater amount of pushing the students to achieve, and no shortage of affection for them on the part of their teacher/ coach. “She is an example of what a master teacher should be: demanding but patient, firm but

kind, proficient in her discipline and able to lead students to a high level of excellence on a daily basis because of an enormous amount of work spent preparing and designing lessons for second language acquisition outside of class,” Ms. Anderson noted. “From Pinterest and YouTube music and poetry, teacher-designed games and workstations, to simple activities Ms. Rose uses to guide the class, there is a reflection

of the unseen hundreds of hours of teacher creativity injected into each and every lesson,” Ms. Anderson added. JCC has offered concurrent enrollment courses to qualified high school juniors and seniors through the College Connections program since 1998. The courses, offered during the high school day by JCC approved high school teachers, allow students to earn both high school and college credit.

During the 2013-14 academic year College Connections offered 52 different credit courses in 40 area high schools, serving 1,785 students across the region.

Deb Spangler Honored as Employee of the year at Hultquist Place Contributed Article Lutheran

Deb Spangler, a home health aide and lead housekeeper was honored as the Employee of the Year representing Hultquist Place Assisted Living at Lutheran, at the recent Chautauqua County Home Care Association Annual Employee Recognition dinner. “I was so honored and surprised that I cried,” said Deb. “I love working here. The greatest reward is when the residents share their appreciation for what we do. They even miss us when we’re off for a couple days.” Deb began her career with Hultquist Place when it opened in

2006. She had worked as both a housekeeper and a Home Health Aid (HHA). Three years ago she renewed her Home Health Aid certificate, so she could give direct care to her residents. “Debbie is a quiet, thoughtful person with the heart of a lioness,” said Kathy Lynch, Hultquist Place administrator. “She is a strong advocate for the residents, helping them to adjust to their new home. I know I can always depend on her to put the needs of the residents first and she is well respected by everyone.” Hultquist Place offers a worry free lifestyle with the warm and intimate feeling of home. It is a New York State Assisted Living Program that gives seniors access to

Adaptive Cruise Control Once limited to the most expensive luxury cars, adaptive cruise control can now be ordered by the masses in models like the Mazda3 and Ford Fusion. It’s an impressive safety feature, as it “adapts” to changing traffic conditions by automatically increasing or decreasing your speed, depending on the car in front of you. We’re thankful for adaptive cruise control because it’s an impressive safety and convenience feature, and because it has the potential to elimi-

nate many highway and low-speed collisions altogether. Blind Spot Monitor It’s hard not to be thankful for blind-spotmonitoring technology. In years past, checking your blind spot was a chore: Either you had to completely -- and dangerously -- turn your head around before making a lane change, or you had to rely solely on your mirrors, which isn’t always a good solution. Not so anymore, thanks to helpful blind spot monitors that let you know when there’s a car in

your blind spot. Some of these systems even flash a light or sound an alert as you get closer to the blind spotdwelling car, providing extra help when you need it most. Rear Cross-Traffic Alert If you’ve ever had a difficult time backing out of a parking space in a busy parking lot or a garage, you’ll be thankful for rear cross-traffic alert. It’s a popular new safety feature that senses oncoming cars when you’re backing up, alerting you to their presence before

you back directly into their path. The feature, which is available in an increasingly wider range of new models every year, is one of our favorite new safety items, especially for larger SUVs or other cars with sometimes challenging visibility. If you’re currently searching for a new car, consider this list of safety equipment before you sign the papers. Adding some or all of these items to your car of choice may be pricey, but in our opinion, the safety benefits are often worth the added expense.

Put Family Farmers Back into Farm to School Contributed Article Center for Rural Affairs

Farm to School programs appeared in the 90s with a three-way focus: fresh, local foods in schools; agriculture and nutrition education in classrooms; and purchases that support local family farms. Years since have seen these programs grow to

include 40,000 schools and 23 million students. However, the focus has slipped from ‘local family farms’ to ‘local food.’ Schools and program administrators alike don’t know the difference between nearby corporate, industrial farms and smaller, family farms that derives their income from the management

and daily labor on their own land. It’s far easier for schools and administrators to define ‘local’ than it is to define ‘family farm.’ Family farmers, schools, and rural communities are losing out. Family farmers lose out on income from sales when schools don’t make the distinction between food

grown by a farm family and food grown by a corporation. Schools lose out when they don’t choose a farmer who can demonstrate how crops and livestock are raised. And communities lose when food dollars go to a corporation headquartered elsewhere instead of to a local family business that buys its supplies right there in the community,

where the money can recirculate. In fact, family farms generate among the highest economic multipliers of all industries, which should make them the darling of economic development directors. Hazy Farm to School program goals are a part of the problem. Goals should define a preferred local food supplier to ensure

‘local family farms’ are truly supported. Established in 1973, the Center for Rural Affairs is a private, non-profit organization working to strengthen small businesses, family farms and ranches, and rural communities through action oriented programs addressing social, economic, and environmental issues.

Smart Living, continued from page 22 to you. Getting enough exercise does not have to be tedious or painful. Simply find something you love to do and do it regularly. Do you like to swim? There are plenty of places to do that, even during the winter. Is there a sport you enjoy? Do it more often. If you can’t think of anything along those lines that sounds good to you, just think about things you enjoy doing that require movement. We often don’t think of them as exercise, but activities like dancing and tasks like shoveling snow or gardening all provide plenty of exercise. Taking long walks or bicycle rides are good options too, especially now that wonderful community projects like ‘Creating Healthy Places’ have worked hard to increase the number of safe places to do these activities in our communities. You don’t have to look very hard to find beautiful new bike paths and trails in Chautauqua County. There are also a growing number of community gardens popping up all over the county. They improve our environment and health in so many ways. Not only can we eat or share the bounty, tending a community garden provides lots of great exercise and provides opportunities to build relationships with like minded folks while you work. Positive changes in our environments certainly give us plenty of ways to improve our our health, but as we think about ourselves, we also need to think about the impact our health can have on our fellow citizens. The environment should be healthy for everyone. Conse-

Taking advantage of screenings and vaccines can help you avoid serious health conditions. If you don’t have coverage you’re less likely to stay healthy. Enjoy a better quality of life. Take advantage of the NY State of Health, the Official Health Plan Marketplace at www.nystateofhealth.ny.gov. You can shop, compare, and enroll in quality, affordable health insurance at that site. You can also learn more about the available coverage options under NY State of Health.

What would have happened if the Buffalo Bills had brought quarterback Kyle Orton into camp early enough to compete for the starting job right away? We’re left to wonder. (AP Photo/Charles Rex Arbogast)

So maybe, maybe, the Bills win one of those three big games coming up. Counting the Oakland win, that puts the Bills at nine wins. In a super deep AFC, there’s just no way that nine wins gets Buffalo into the playoffs. Not with every team in the AFC North having at least seven wins. Not with both Kansas City and San Diego pushing for spots in the AFC West. Even Houston has six wins and owns the tie-breaker over the Bills. How big of a kick in the crotch would it be if Ryan Fitzpatrick led his team to the playoffs and knocked Buffalo out? Ouch. I didn’t even mention the Dolphins, who have a Week 16 and 17 schedule of the Vikings and the Jets. There’s no way that Miami loses either of those two games if the playoffs are in sight. It’s almost painful to look back at the schedule and see what could have been. The Week 3 loss to San Diego was legit. The Bills got pummeled by a better team that day. But then in Week 4, the Bills lost to Houston by just six points. If you recall, E.J. Manuel threw a mind-numbingly dumb pick-6 to J.J. Watt with the

Bills in position to pull away. But that 80-yard return by Watt totally turned the tables in that game. If Manuel would have just thrown an incomplete pass right there, the Bills are probably in pole position for the playoffs. The next loss was to New England and wasn’t even really a game. Again, the Bills were just beaten down by a better team. Regretful? Sure, but not inexcusable. But then came back-to-back losses to Kansas City and Miami. Those are two teams that are battling with the Bills for a wild card spot. A win over either of those two teams would have gone a long way to snapping this painful Buffalo playoff drought. But two offensive duds led to two losses. It all makes you wonder why the Bills waited so long to bring Kyle Orton into camp. If he had been ready to take over sooner, where would the Bills be right now? Oh, what could have been. Maybe next year. Stefan Gestwicki is the sports editor of the Chautauqua Star.

can still play spoiler, however, with games remaining against Detroit and, of course, Dallas. Sure, I’ll go with the upset. PICK VS. SPREAD: Bears (+3.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Bears. PITTSBURGH STEELERS (7-5) at CINCINNATI BENGALS (8-3-1) The Bengals had arguably the luckiest week in the history of the NFL. By all accounts, they got lucky to win against the lowly Tampa Bay Buccaneers after they seemingly benefited from an illegal challenge. It was quite the scene, but the Bengals were able to squeak out the win. Not only that, but every other team in the super tight AFC North lost. The Browns, Steelers and Ravens were all losers in Week 13, which gave Cincy a 1.5-game lead in the division. This is a must-win game for the Steelers. They’ll be playing for their season against their division rivals. Is there a harder team to read in the NFL? They’ve lost to

the Bucs, Titans and Saints. They’ve beaten the Colts and Ravens handily. They play the Bengals twice in the fi nal four weeks here and basically have to sweep the series to have a shot at the division. Big Ben played poorly last week against a weak Saints defense. He’ll need to step it up this week. If Big Ben played poorly last week, Andy Dalton was a total train wreck. The guy threw three more interceptions and just looked lost against one of the worst pass defenses in the league. The Steelers know him well and will surely have a game plan to slow down A.J. Green and Mohamed Sanu. This is going to be a clash of bitter rivals. It’s always a fun matchup. I’m not sure I’ve picked one Steelers game correctly this year, but here it goes…PICK VS. SPREAD: Bengals (-3.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Bengals. ST. LOUIS RAMS (5-7) at WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM (3-9) What do you think

the preseason odds of Colt McCoy being Washington’s best quarterback for 2014 were? Having now outplayed both Bobby Griffi n Threesticks and “Don’t Call Me Captain” Kirk Cousins, McCoy has been a pleasant surprise. Of course the whole Griffi n situation will almost assuredly spell the end of Jay Gruden’s head coaching tenure in Washington. Could Jim Harbaugh be next in line for this pathetic franchise? The Rams aren’t a bad team, but they play in a brutal division and don’t really have a quarterback. It’s a lost season for sure, but could they be trotting out RG3 as their quarterback next season? Washington, by all accounts, is done with Threesticks. The Rams will surely cut ties with the oft-injured Sam Bradford. St. Louis, you’ll recall, is the team Washington traded with to acquire the rights to draft Griffi n to begin with. It would be quite a coincidence if he ended up playing in St. Louis after all of this.

On the field, I’d expect the Rams to have their way with Washington, but then again, the Rams tend to only beat the best teams in the league. They’ve struggled with mediocre teams. The Football Team is probably worse than mediocre. There’s just no way they slow down the red-hot Tre Mason. It’s rare that a sub-.500 team would be favored on the road, but Washington has mailed in this season. PICK VS. SPREAD: Rams (-3). STRAIGHT PICK: Rams. NEW YORK GIANTS (3-9) at TENNESEE TITANS (2-10) After sitting and staring at my computer screen for about five minutes, I haven’t thought of anything interesting to write about this matchup. I’ve written in past weeks that the Giants will be fun to watch in the offseason because there’s a real chance that they cut two-time Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning. That’s not CONTiNuED ON PAGE 29

exactly a storyline that we’re treated to every year. But on the field, neither of these teams has anything going for it. They have a combined five wins and are probably lucky to have that many. Odell Beckham, Jr. is quite literally the only player that would garner my interest at all on either side of the ball for either team. I think I’ve called the Titans “the most boring team in the league” every week since the beginning of the year. No, starting a sixth-round pick rookie at quarterback doesn’t do a lot to change my mind. And Mettenberger might be hurt after getting destroyed by J.J. Watt last week.

I’m having an awful hard time picking the Giants in this matchup. I mean, they lost to Jacksonville last week. Yikes. But the Titans are the Titans. PICK VS. SPREAD: Giants (-1.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Giants. CAROLINA PANTHERS (3-8-1) at NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (5-7) Ah, the NFC South. Enough has been made of this point, but for Pete’s sake, the Panthers have won exactly one game since Week 2 and yet are right in the hunt for the division title. It must be so irritating for teams like Buffalo, that have no chance of making the playoffs because their division

is actually competent. The Saints may have turned a corner in their road win against Pittsburgh last week. They moved the ball on offense and they shut down what is a fairly potent offense. The task actually gets much easier against a Panthers team that has gone from division winner last season to a total wreck this season. Cam Newton has been no threat through the air or on the ground. Kelvin Benjamin’s production has slowed considerably since his early-season breakout. Jonathan Stewart is the team’s leading rusher with just a hair over 400 yards. Newton has thrown just 13 touchdown passes this

season. Ben Roethlisberger threw 12 in a two-week span. Aaron Rodgers has thrown 20 just at home. The Saints defense must be licking its chops with this matchup. That said, crazy things do happen in division games. Once unbeatable at home, the Saints have inexplicably lost three straight contests in the Superdome. But look for that streak to snap against a pathetic Panthers team. PICK VS. SPEAD: Panthers (+10). STRAIGHT PICK: Saints. NEW YORK JETS (2-10) at MINNESOTA VIKINGS (5-7) The Jets nearly had their third win of the season on Monday night against the Dolphins, but in classic Jets form, blew it. This is a team without a direction. Personally, I’m still of the belief that Rex Ryan is a

good coach. He took two Mark Sanchezled teams to the AFC Championship Game for goodness sake. But he needs a new opportunity. He needs out of New York and away from the stink of Geno Smith and Co. Minnesota continues to be slightly better than most people expected. Teddy Bridgewater has been horribly inconsistent, but has shown enough flashes to give the fans and the organization some hope for the future. The Adrian Peterson situation continues to loom large and the Vikings will surely be ahead when it ends, either with Peterson back on the field in purple or with another team. It might actually be a blessing in disguise as AP was due a massive sum of money left on his contract. Allocating that money elsewhere is almost assuredly better for the future.

This is a game no one outside of Jets and Vikings fans cares about at all, and rightfully so. The difference between these two teams is that one is a disappointment and the other is a pleasant surprise. PICK VS. SPREAD: Jets (+6). STRAIGHT PICK: Vikings. BALTIMORE RAVENS (7-5) at MIAMI DOLPHINS (7-5) The Dolphins saved their season last Monday by barely squeaking by the hapless Jets. The test gets much tougher this week as the team will host the also-desperate Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens were screwed pretty good last week by a bogus pass interference penalty in the end zone that set the Chargers up for a game-winning 1-yard score. But that penalty either shouldn’t have

CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, DECEMBER 5, 2014

Self-Proclaimed Expert Picks, Cont. from page 29 been called or should have gone against the offense. You can bet that Baltimore is going to be playing angry. These are actually two fairly similar teams. Neither Joe Flacco nor Ryan Tannehill is asked to do too much on offense as both teams rely on a very good defense to win games. Both teams have found nice running backs in Justin Forsett and Lamar Miller, two names not many people had on their radars coming into this season. The Dolphins have the advantage of being at home, but teams actually enjoy coming down to Miami in December. You can bet Flacco would rather throw the ball down there than in the cold and wind of Baltimore. The importance of this game is obvious. The winner receives a huge boost to its playoff hopes while the loser is all but eliminated from postseason play. This is essentially a playoff game in Week 14. It doesn’t get much better than this. PICK VS. SPREAD: Ravens (+3). STRAIGHT PICK: Ravens. INDIANAPOLIS COLTS (8-4) at CLEVELAND BROWNS (7-5) Cleveland missed out on a huge opportunity by dropping a game to the Bills last week. The team just played horribly and looked like anything but a playoff team. Brian Hoyer was terrible once again

and was eventually replaced by Johnny Manziel. It didn’t matter much as the Buffalo defense was just too much for either to handle. The task on offense gets a little easier this week as the Colts have nowhere near the pass rush of the Bills. The problem is that the Browns must also slow down Andrew Luck. Luck has put up some monster numbers (including throwing the ball more often than either Matthew Stafford or Drew Brees!!), but he’s far from the best quarterback in the league. If Cleveland’s talented cornerbacks can hold T.Y. Hilton and Co. in check, the Browns just might be able to salvage their season. A loss surely ends all hope of getting into the playoffs for Cleveland. This game doesn’t have the same magnitude as the RavensDolphins game because Indy will most likely win the AFC South no matter what, but it’s still a game with huge playoff implications. PICK VS. SPREAD: Colts (-4.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Colts. TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS (2-10) at DETROIT LIONS (8-4) The Lions played their best game in weeks against the Bears on Thanksgiving. The 34 points that the Lions put up were only one fewer than in the team’s previous

three games combined. More importantly, Detroit snapped a two-game losing streak that saw them lose the top spot in the NFC North. While everyone seems to be talking about the Packers waltzing their way to the Super Bowl, the Lions actually have control of their own destiny in the division. If the Lions win their last four games, they win the NFC North. No frills about it. Of course, that would mean winning a Week 17 matchup in Green Bay. A lot can happen between now and then. This isn’t even really a trap game for the Lions. The Bucs are absolutely horrid. There’s no way that Tampa Bay comes up North and knocks off a true playoff contender. Yes, the Bucs very nearly upset the Bengals last week, but that had to be more of a fluke than anything. Tampa Bay is a team with a minus-94 point differential. PICK VS. SPREAD: Bucs (+10). STRAIGHT PICK: Lions. HOUSTON TEXANS (6-6) at JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS (2-10) Since a Week 6 loss to the Colts, the Texans have either been at exactly .500 or one game below even. This is the team’s best chance to get over that .500 mark since Week 5. Not only that, but a win would keep the Texans in improbable playoff contention.

Buffalo offense has struggled badly in recent weeks. Against a Denver defense that boasts elite talent at multiple positions, it could be a long day for Kyle Orton and the Bills. Both teams are relatively desperate for a win. Denver knowns that San Diego is right on its heels in the race for the division and the Bills are lumped Jimmy Graham and the New Orleans Saints might in with a handful of just be running to an NFC South title.

Self-Proclaimed Expert Picks, Cont. from page 30 problem is wide receiver. All of the wide receivers on Kansas City’s roster have combined for zero touchdown receptions this season. ZERO!. J.J. Watt has three and he’s a defensive lineman. Look for them to spend big on someone like Randall Cobb this offseason. The Cardinals’ problems started when Carson Palmer went down with a season-ending knee injury. The team was rolling and it sure looked like we’d have an improbable NFC West winner. When Palmer went down, so did the Cardinals’ season hopes. The defense had already incurred a ton of injuries and the offense wasn’t all that great anyway. The team is still 6-0 at home, so a win here might reverse the course of the season, but it’s going to be tough with Arizona’s upcoming schedule. PICK VS. SPREAD: Cardinals (-1). STRAIGHT PICK: Cardinals. SEATTLE SEAHAWKS (8-4) at PHILADELPHIA EAGLES (9-3) While the Cardinals are scuffling to maintain their division lead, the defending champion Seahawks are charging fast. With the convincing Thanksgiving win over the 49ers, Seattle has made it quite clear which team remains elite in the division. The Eagles made a similar statement

that Green Bay does. The Packers were able to get significant pressure on Tom Brady, but that’s not exactly the Chargers’ strong suit. The Patriots took away the Packers’ best offensive weapons, but Rodgers was able to utilize the team’s amazing depth. The Chargers probably don’t have the same luxury.

Oh, and that Aaron Rodgers guy is pretty good at throwing footballs. But the Falcons may be getting hot at the right time. They handled Arizona relatively easily last week and Julio Jones torched Patrick Peterson, one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL. If Matt Ryan and Jones finally get going, this offense should be able to put up some big points. The offensive line has worked out some of its issues and the defense hasn’t been utterly terrible. Of course, the Packers are a totally different animal than the offenses of Atlanta’s last four opponents (Tampa Bay, Carolina, Cleveland, Arizona). This could be a rude awakening for the Falcons.

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

Snowmelt from the unprecedented lake effect snowstorm has all Lake Erie tributaries running high and muddy today, Tuesday, November 25th. Without additional precipitation, look for the Chautauqua County streams to drop back to fi shable levels in a couple days. Since Erie County received the heaviest snowfall, it will take longer for those streams to come around. This high water event should draw fresh, silvery steelhead into all creeks. 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 fi shing, see the Steelhead Fishing in Lake Erie Tributaries page for information on steelhead fi shing 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 fi shing trips and helps biologists assess the status of the lake and tributary trout fi shery in the New York waters of Lake Erie.

SABrES knOCk Off TAMPA BAy, COnT. frOM PAgE 24 After sweeping a twogame series against the then-NHL leading Montreal Canadiens last weekend, the Sabres put the clamps on the high-scoring Tampa Bay Lightning. Enroth stopped 26 shots through overtime and then two more in the shootout in securing a 2-1 victory Tuesday night. ''Obviously, the confidence is a little bit higher now,'' Enroth said. ''We beat a couple of great teams the last couple of games, so we know we can beat every team in the league.'' Enroth improved to 5-1 in his past six starts, a stretch in which he's allowed just nine goals. Zemgus Girgensons forced overtime by chipping in a rebound with 3:54 remaining, a little more than six minutes after Tampa Bay's Ondrej Palat opened the scoring. And then Buffalo's Cody Hodgson - with a backhander - and Tyler Ennis - with a snap shot just inside the left post - scored on their shootout chances.

Buffalo (9-14-2) improved to 6-1 in its last seven, a stretch that began after the team opened the season 3-13-2. ''Part of getting better is that resiliency, to keep going and keep going,'' coach Ted Nolan said. The Lightning (17-63), coming off a 6-3 win over the New York Rangers on Monday night, entered the game leading the NHL with 90 goals and tied for the league lead with 36 points. They instead started flat by mustering just two shots in the first period. And they lacked finish in the shootout in having a four-game winning streak snapped. Palat was stopped on Tampa Bay's first attempt, when he attempted to slip the puck through Enroth's legs. Ryan Callahan had his snap shot turned aside by Enroth's blocker. ''I thought we played well enough to win the hockey game and we didn't,'' Lightning coach Jon Cooper said.

''They score that goal with, what, 4 minutes left? That probably doesn't happen, either.'' The teams meet again at Tampa Bay on Thursday. This one turned with a pair of momentum shifts in the final 10 minutes of the third period. Palat's goal came on a nifty passing play that began with Nikita Kucherov's no-look pass to Tyler Johnson streaking up the right wing. Driving deep into the corner, Johnson fed the puck into the middle, where Palat stuffed it in. The Sabres finally cashed in following a pair of chances, with Girgensons' tying goal coming with 3:54 left. Following a faceoff to the right of the net, the Sabres worked the puck to Tyler Myers at the blue line, where he rifled a rising shot on goal. Evgeni Nabokov made the initial save but was unable to control the rebound. The puck bounced to Girgensons, who fl ipped it over an off-balance Nabokov, who was fall-

ing backward. ''Honestly, I thought I had it because it hit my ribs, and that's why I was leaning back,'' said Nabokov, who made 21 saves. ''I thought I had it. And then I saw the puck fly out. So that's when I needed longer arms, I guess.'' Girgensons' goal came immediately after Nabokov made a big stop on Brian Flynn, who was set up alone in front by Brian Gionta. Lightning captain Steven Stamkos nearly

settled it with 5 seconds left in regulation. Rounding into the left circle, Stamkos snapped a shot through a crowd and hit the far post. The puck caromed back off Enroth's shoulder and fell into the crease, where the goalie smothered it. NOTES: Sabres D Josh Gorges played after missing seven games with a knee injury. ... Lightning rookie LW Jonathan Drouin, with one assist in his past seven games, was a healthy scratch. ... Girgen-

sons is the surprise leader in the NHL All-Star game fan vote with 399,356, nearly double that of Pittsburgh's Sidney Crosby (218,672). Girgensons, a second-year player, has credited the surge to fans clicking away online back home in Latvia. The only limit applied by the NHL is that fans can vote only 10 times a day. ... Boston Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli sat among NHL scouts in the press box.

awesome year and collected a ton of points. There's some danger for the sport with this format.'' Johnson said he discussed the new format with France at the start of the season. He believed, based on performance during the regular season, the fi nale should have been between Harvick, Team Penske drivers Logano and Brad Keselowski, and Jeff Gordon, his Hendrick Motorsports teammate. Those four drivers combined for 12 wins in the fi rst 26 races, and eight wins in the 10 Chase races. But Gordon and Keselowski were both eliminated after the third round, and Gordon last week called on NASCAR to set a separate points system for the Chase drivers. Gordon felt it was unfair for the Chase drivers to be scored

against the entire 43-car field, and they should only be scored against the Chase drivers. Still, drivers have praised the new elimination system, with Newman saying ''the intensity of the sport has gone through the roof,'' because of the Chase. The high stakes produced drama on and off the track, including a pair of brawls in in the fi nal seven races. ''The system is fi ne. It's exciting. Every race is exciting,'' Hamlin said. ''There's not been one boring race. This is the best thing that's happened to this sport in a really long time.'' But Johnson said attendance and television ratings are the true measure. Although attendance was improved at many tracks this season, TV ratings were fl at. The

10-race Chase drew an average of 4.41 million viewers for ESPN/ ABC, and a 2.7 rating. Last season drew an average of 4.5 million viewers and a 2.8 rating. ''We need to do something to drive the viewership up,'' said Johnson, who supports heat races capped by a fi nal A main-style race slotted into a television window. ''Maybe we qualify on Saturday and that's televised, and then run some heat races and a feature on Sunday, in a four-hour time window,'' he said. ''It sticks to our roots, sticks with what we've always had and done, gives some natural pauses for the show for the social element at the track. I think that would be a pretty entertaining format.''
