A local ski resort is hoping the snowfall we experienced the week of Thanksgiving is an early sign that they will be on track for above-average business this winter. With annual lake effect snowfall averaging over 200 inches, Chautauqua County is a winter lover’s paradise for skiers and snowboarders. In addition to the hopes of having plenty of the white stuff for downhill skiers and snowboarders to enjoy, the folks at the Holiday Valley ski resort were busy over the summer coordinating the addition of new features and state-of-the-art equipment, spending significant amounts of money in the hopes of luring back past customers as
well as attracting new patrons. The upgrades at Holiday Valley represent over $3 million in investments that focused on establishing a better surface for skiers and snowboarders while also offering educational opportunities for those who just learning how to enjoy the winter months outdoors in a safe and enjoyable environment. According to marketing director Jane Eshbaugh, a recent summary of Holiday Valley’s reinvestments over the past 22 years found the resort has spent an estimated $120 million on improvements that include new lifts, new slopes, new base lodges, new lodging and the purchase of various pieces of grooming equipment. Holiday Valley’s snowmaking capabilities cover about 95
percent of the resort, with the use of an automated system for making snow that includes builtin weather stations so the setting can easily be adjusted for changes in temperature and humidity. “The end result is that we can efficiently make more snow on more slopes, even in short windows of cold weather,” said Jane Eshbaugh. “Last month we were able to get 175 guns running within an hour. Without automation, that number would have been 25 guns. On opening day we were able to have 18 slopes and six lifts open, which if course was aided by Mother Nature, who gave us about 18 inches of natural snow.” A Burton “Riglet Park” is being constructed at the base of the School Haus beginner’s slope, where new skiers are taught the fundamentals on a much more
flatter surface than what is found on other hills. The flat areas gives each beginning skier more control and, just as importantly, more confidence as they learn the basics of downhill skiing. Snowboarders will also learn the proper protocol and be given tips for how to best navigate while using their equipment. There is also a new terrain-based learning park for novice snowboarders who may still be a bit leery of doing full-fledged tricks in the “regular” terrain park. The new terrain-based park will also boarders to learn the basics and master skills that include stopping, turning and gliding. New automated snow guns have been added to the Cindy’s Run, Foxfire, Sunrise and Edelweiss slopes to allow Holiday Valley employees to produce snow COntinued On pg 13

HUndreds across WnY take tHe ‘polar plUnge’ to raise moneY for special olYmpics By Katy Wise Contributing Writer
Every winter, hundreds of western New Yorkers join in the ‘Freezin’ for a Reason’ Polar Plunge. The seventh annual Western New York Polar Plunge is scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 7. The plunge will be held at Woodlawn Beach State Park in Buffalo, New York, and starts at 11 a.m. Proceeds will benefit the Special Olympics of Western New York. Participants have already raised over $53,000 this year, through donations sponsoring those who will be ‘taking the plunge.’ That number of total donations can only get higher, as money is donated to this great, and unique cause by the minute. Watching the website, updated donation totals can be seen each time the web page is refreshed. Money is raised in sponsorship of those who will be entering Lake Erie’s frigid winter waters, which currently hold a temperature of 41 degrees Fahrenheit. Those who choose to take the plunge can either dive all the way into the icy lake, or stick a toe in. Several plunges are held each

Dear Pastor, what does walking in love mean? Last week we looked at two aspects of walking in love found in 1 Corinthians 13:5…not seeking his own (not being selfish) and choosing to think good about someone, regardless of circumstances or potential offense. We saw that walking in love implies a forgiving and other-centered attitude. This week we will discuss 1 Corinthian 13:6, “(love) does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth.” This verse has much to say about the concept of walking in love. “Rejoicing in iniquity” can occur when one person takes joy or
delights in the misfortune or hurts of another. For example, this can happen during an argument, where one person gloats in their “winning” or being right. This can also be seen in situations where someone finds themselves smirking about an unpopular neighbor who got their “come-up-ance” when they dented their bragged-about new car. Even if the other person wasn’t right in how they acted, we must walk in love. Anytime we feel good about someone else’s troubles…we are rejoicing in iniquity. Not very loving and definitely not “what Jesus would do”! The problem mentioned in 1 Cor-
inthians 13:5 can have many roots including envy, jealousy, and insecurity. Walking in love requires us to recognize any bad roots within ourselves and go against our fleshly feelings. In Matthew 6:44 Jesus said to, “…bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you.” We can also read about an example found in the Old Testament where Aaron and Miriam (Moses’ brother and sister) were punished by God due to their complaining against Moses. Rather than rejoicing that they “got theirs”, Moses fell on his face and cried out to God to forgive

Rev. Tim Stahlman Family Church Jamestown fcjamestown.org
Power From On High Part 3 Today I want to further our study on what the Bible calls the baptism of the Holy Spirit. John the Baptist spoke of it in Matthew 3:11. Jesus spoke about it in Acts 1:5. The Apostles along with the 120 believers received this experience in Acts 2:4. The Samaritan believers received this experience in Acts 8:14-17. Acts 8:16 says, “For as yet He (the Holy Spirit) was fallen upon none of them (Samaritans) only they were baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus.” Notice that these believers had made a public witness of their acceptance of Christ yet the Holy Spirit was not upon them. How is that possible? The New Testament is clear: The Holy Spirit is at work in the New Birth but there is yet a greater dynamic of the
Spirit to receive after salvation. Let’s take a look at yet another example in the New Testament. Acts 19:1-2 says, “And it came to pass…Paul…came to Ephesus and finding certain DISCIPLES,” Who did Paul find? These men were called disciples. If they were called disciples, do you think that Paul was under the impression that they were believers? Of course he was. We know he thought they were disciples because look at the next verse. Verse 2 says, “Paul said to them ‘Have you received the Holy Spirit SINCE YOU BELIEVED...” If you received all the Holy Spirit upon believing then why would the Apostle Paul ever ask such a question? Notice the words “SINCE YOU BELIEVED”. Paul was asking them if there was ever a time
between the moments they first believed and now that they received the Holy Spirit. Paul’s question makes it abundantly clear that there is another experience that comes after salvation. But let’s keep reading in Acts 19. Verse 2 continues by saying, “… and they said to Paul ‘We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.” These men were completely ignorant to the existence of the Holy Spirit. This tells us that we can be ignorant to things God has for us if we are not taught. And just because we’re not taught these things does not take away from the truth of the New Testament. In the next verse we learn what Paul was doing. Verse 3 says, “And Paul said to

them (Numbers 12:1-13). I know in my own life that when I’ve felt bad towards someone who may be giving me a hard time, I’ll get on my knees and pray about God blessing them and providing for them. I am then able to better walk in love. Over time, I will find myself honestly glad about any good fortune that comes their way and that any remaining bad feelings go away! Walking in love can be challenging but it defiantly has a good return in many aspects of our relationships! Next week…we continue in 1 Corinthians 13.
them, ‘Unto what then were you BAPTIZED?’…” Paul is trying to locate the spiritual progress of these Ephesian disciples. He wants to know whether or not they have been baptized in the Holy Spirit. They tell Paul that they’ve only been baptized by John the Baptist. When Paul hears this he explains to them that Christ was to come after John and that they needed to believe on Him. These men believe on Christ and get baptized in water. But that wasn’t all there was for them. Verse 6 says, “And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.” There is another experience after salvation. I will continue the study next week.

A woman with By Dodi Kingsfield Contributing Writer
a wish list is a woman that knows herself, can identify her needs and desires and communicates effectively with her family. A holiday list eliminates guessing games, inappropriate or frivolous spending or the buying of cheap holiday crap. A written holiday list won’t contain dusting slippers, a new colander or an ice scraper for the car. The list would contain items such as a painting set and easel, a set of favorite author’s books, a few of your favorite accessories, a list of favorite music CDs or movies, or even a big thing like a weekend getaway with the husband or a day spa certificate. The Christmas wish list should be a reflection of your personality, your unique interests, and present ideas for those loved ones that just can’t seem to figure out what to get the matriarch of the household. If your husband or family is anything like mine, unless I provide some kind of Christmas list to be used as a guide, it’s highly likely I can end up with a new set of camouflage boots that just happen to be two sizes
too big (but fit my husband perfectly) or a new Nintendo game for a DS I don’t have. I could also get a new kitchen appliance for making my family’s favorite meal or a great new tool for cleaning the house more efficiently. By having a Christmas wish list, at least I can specify that I want the pink hand drill, not the black one, and the yoga CD for the Wii instead of a Super Mario game. A Christmas wish list should not be used as a set up for your loved ones, to show how much they do or don’t care about you. A wish list should be used as a communication tool, just as a child’s list should be, to let your loved ones (or Santa) know what you would like under the tree. A list should provide options, from the inexpensive to the more elaborate. It should not be all inclusive and there should be flexibility to deviate from the list. If you specify a diamond tennis bracelet, yet the hubby comes home with an emerald ring, there’s nothing to complain about in my eyes. But that’s me.
“Christmas wish lists aren’t just for the kids, yet many women leave themselves off the family holiday shopping list or have no personal list at all for sharing their wishes with their loved ones.”
In the end, whether the gift is a “World’s Greatest Mom” coffee mug with a picture of the kids or tickets for two to a Broadway play, knowing that your family thought of you (the person that makes it all happen) during the holiday and not just themselves is what we really want. We want them to show appreciation for others, we want to feel appreciated by them, and it doesn’t take much for them to show it or us to feel it.
We also need to show appreciation and gratitude towards ourselves for all of our hard work and dedication to our loved ones, by creating our own holiday wish list this year. Don’t be a holiday martyr, give yourself the gift of a holiday wish list and see what happens in your household this Christmas. You could be pleasantly surprised.

this week:
By Katy Wise Contributing Writer
During these shivery days, we start spending more and more time inside, hitting the ‘snooze’ button as many times as possible to stay in our warm beds. The fuzzy blankets knitted by your aunt, which were neglected all summer long make a comeback as your most prized possession, and favorite hot cocoa mugs find their place at the front of the shelf once more. As much as I love snow, my favorite snow related activity by far, is being snuggled up inside while watching the snow fall outside. I love spring and summer weather, but there’s something about being stuck inside your cozy home. Being forced inside is a great opportunity to build memories with your family. Watching a beloved Christmas movie, baking or playing board games are great ways to spend time together. Growing up, I can’t recall a family get together that did not involve cards or some sort of (mostly) organized game. I have fond memories of sitting underneath the table, listening to the chaos above me. This chaos was fun being had and memories being made. My uncle, always the scorekeeper and referee, and my dad the challenger of rules (some may call this person the cheater, but I think he’s just testing the ref’s knowledge of the game.)

ALERT - NO-FAULT BENEFITS UNDER ATTACK
• If you have been injured in an auto accident, New York State Law requires the insurance carrier for the vehicle you were in to cover your related medical expenses and any lost wages (Insurance Law Section 5103).
• Recently, many insurance carriers are attempting to avoid this legal duty by paying biased doctors, often from outside the area, to support them in cutting off these important benefits.

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

polar bear plUnge, continUed from pg 1 “I want to make sure that it gets better every year.” Horch is in the tenth grade at Fredonia High School, and is a volunteer and friend of the Functional Life Skills class at FHS. With $240 raised for the event so far, Horch has utilized his Facebook page, and reached out to classmates, teachers, fellow church attenders and family through posters and email. Also on Horch’s team, the ‘Artic Hillbillies,’ is Fredonia High School Special Education teacher, Kristin Tomaszewski, along with her 8 year old daughter, Josephine, who will be participating for her first time this year.
“I love this event because it is a great example of the creative ways we can find to give back to our community,” said Tomaszewski, “ I also like this event because I know that the money stays local and will be used to benefit the athletes of Western New York.” Called ‘Mrs.T’ by the students who inspire her to partake in this event, Tomaszewski will be plunging for her fourth time this 2013 season. “It was a lot of fun. I loved to see how happy everyone was. Watching them smile and reaching their full potential,” said Horch, “It was contagious. Knowing that I was able to be a part of their happiness made me
feel good. “ Along with jumping in the freezing cold water, there are incentives for those who register to be a part of this event. For those who are able to raise $100, there are prizes of official Polar Plunge sweatshirts, and more prizes for each level of money that is brought in for the organization. There will be events for everyone in attendance, not just the ‘swimmers.’ Food, and music will be available, and for people wanting to get some more use out of their Halloween costume, there will even be a costume party to enter.

“Signs of the Season” Opens
Christmas and childhood usually evoke happy memories. The Fenton History Center’s 34th annual holiday exhibit is about the nostalgia of those childhood Christmas times. When one thinks of the holidays - food and family memories come to mind. The sounds of familiar carols bring back many memories of holiday celebrations. The traditions that we carry forward each year are featured in the “Signs of the Season” exhibit. Why do we have a tree in our house over the holiday? Why do we eat certain foods? Where did Santa Claus come from? All these and other questions are answered in the mansion-wide exhibit. The exhibit opens Black Friday, November 29 and is up through Doors Open Jamestown on Jan. 18, 2014. Exhibit designer Sara Reale says, “As we age, the holiday spirit sometimes fades. I want our holiday visitors to experience “deja vous” if only for a second, when they see the exhibit. I want them to feel like they did as children. More often than not I see visitors faces light up when they see certain parts of the exhibit like the aluminum tree forest and the front hall case filled with ornaments and other small items that seemed to be in everyone’s Grandmother’s house.”
A special feature of the holiday exhibit this year is the winter village. It is comprised of over fifty buildings, cars, and people. The village is alive with activities and lights. Many elementary classrooms have booked holiday tours of the exhibit. Ms. Reale says, “The exhibit meets a number of the NY State social studies curriculum standards for the elementary grades. Kwanzaa, Hanukah and the celebration of the Three Kings are part of the exhibit. It is a fun field trip for the classes. They seem to
really enjoy the size of the Mansion and the beauty of the exhibits.” Why let the children have all the fun? New this year are Candlelight Tours of the Mansion beginning this Saturday evening at 7 PM. They are open to all. The tours are held every Saturday night in December at 7 PM. The cost is $10 for Fenton members and $15 for non-members. Memberships are available prior to the tour start. The Fenton History Center is located at 67 Washington St, just south of the Washington Street Bridge past the Forest Ave. traffic light. The museum is open yearround Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information visit www.fentonhistorycenter. org or call 716-664-6256.

SHERMAN KICKS OFF SEASON WITH WESTFIELD WINTER CLASSIC CHAMPIONSHIP By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
Part of the DFT Family of Services
Sherman showed no mercy to host Westfield in capturing the Westfield Winter Classic championship, 62-52, Saturday night. After knocking off Forestville on Friday, the Wildcats came out quickly to grab a 12-6 lead after the fi rst quarter. Westfield was pressured into numerous turnovers thanks to a suffocating Sherman defense. Things didn’t get much better for the home team in the second quarter as Sherman ran out to a 29-13 halftime lead. Sherman’s offense was efficient, if not dynamic. The balanced attack was led by Jake Card’s 14 points and 12 rebounds. Ryan Robson and Devon Moorhead had 12 and 11 points, respectively. Jessie Rodriguez poured in a game-high 15 points for Westfield, who defeated FrewsburgFalconer on Friday night to advance to the championship game, but it wasn’t enough for the Wolverines to win their own tournament. Liam Tennie netted a doubledouble with 14 points and 10 rebounds and Tanner Dahl was named the tournament’s most valuable player. The Wolverines were able to mount something of a comeback with an 11-0 run, but

Sherman calmly went 6 for 6 from the free throw line to ice the game in the fourth quarter. In the consolation game, Frewsburg-Falconer downed Forestville, 67-64 in an overtime thriller. The game was sent to overtime when Forestville junior Dylan Szumigala banked in a threepointer amidst heavy traffic from the left wing as the buzzer sounded. The Hornets had fought back from some large deficits all game, including 14-1 to open the game. But Szumigala was clutch down the stretch, including hitting four straight free throws after a shooting foul was followed up
by a technical foul on Frewsburg-Falconer. “Some of it was just confi dence,” Forestville coach Ralph Jackson said. “It was a matter of getting some of these kids used to larger roles. Dylan knocked down the four free throws and then that three. This is his second year on varsity but he has a bigger role this year. He really stepped up.” Not to be outdone, FrewsburgFalconer’s Mike Wilcox delivered a dagger of his own with a three-pointer with time winding down in the overtime period. With just one second left on the clock, Forestville was unable to get a shot off before
the fi nal buzzer. Mitchell Carter had a gamehigh 19 points and 11 rebounds in the win while teammate Josh Nelson added 17 points and 10 boards. Szumigala led the Hornets with 17 points — 15 of them coming in the fourth quarter or overtime — while Jeff Van Vlack added 15 points for Forestville. “I feel pretty good,” Jackson added. “We played a real good team yesterday with Sherman. I knew coming into the tournament that there were three other good teams. I was happy with the way the kids bounced back today after we played yesterday.”

DETROIT LIONS (7-5) at PHILADELPHIA EAGLES (7-5)
Here’s another game with huge playoff implications. The Lions are seemingly winning the NFC North by default with both Chicago and Green Bay quarterbackless. Still, the Lions still have to win some games down the stretch and this will be a big test. Nick Foles has now thrown 19 touchdowns and zero interceptions (though he had one overturned because of a penalty last week). Shady McCoy already has 1,088 yards rushing and has really benefited from Foles’ presence under center. DeSean Jackson is over 1,000 yards and 60 receptions on the season and looks rejuvenated by Foles and the new offense. The Eagles are just 2-4 at home versus 5-1 on the road, but they should be able to take advantage of a Detroit secondary that’s been hit by the big play all season. Of course, the Eagles secondary isn’t exactly equipped to stop Calvin Johnson either. Reggie Bush looked like the running back he was in college on Thanksgiving, but that seems to be the exception rather than the rule with Bush. PICK VS. SPREAD: Eagles (-3). STRAIGHT PICK: Eagles.

An underlying storyline will be Mike Wallace returning the city where he began his career and made a name for himself. The main storyline, however, should be that the Dolphins currently lead the AFC wild card chase for that sixth seed. Daniel Thomas is potentially out for the season, but that’s probably a good thing. For some reason the Dolphins were splitting carries equally between Thomas and Lamar Miller, but Miller is the superior back. The Dolphins offensive line is among the worst in football, but the Steelers aren’t exactly the Iron Curtain they once were. I would expect to see a very low-scoring game. The Steelers are in an odd situation because by winning against the Dolphins, they could be helping their rival Baltimore Ravens into the playoffs. Of course, in the incredibly weak AFC, the Steelers are far from of it themselves. When OAKLAND RAIDERS (4-8) at out in doubt, pick against the NEW YORK JETS (5-7) Florida team that will ATLANTA FALCONS (3-9) at Name a player on the probably have to play in Raiders defense.

The team in last: many people’s preseason Super Bowl pick, the Houston Texans. Arian Foster has been hurt, the team doesn’t have a quarterback and the defense isn’t what it was the last few years. Ben Tate ran hard against the Patriots last week and I’d expect him to have another big day against the Jags. Maurice JonesDrew is trying to prove he still has some tread left on his tires, but I’d be shocked if any team gave him a starting running back caliber contract this offseason. It’s a shame, too. MJD has been one of those guys that is universally liked throughout the league. He was probably headed towards a Hall of Fame career at one point. Anyway, I expect this to be the least watched game in Thursday Night Football history. I know I won’t watch it. PICK VS. SPREAD: Texans (-3). STRAIGHT PICK: Texans.
CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, DECEMBER 6, 2013
one reason and one reason only. Aqib Talib vs. Josh Gordon. Talib has been one of the better cornerbacks in the league this year (though he seems to be allowed to hold and interfere at will) and Gordon has been the best wide receiver in the history of the NFL over the past two weeks. No, that’s not hyperbole. Gordon became the first player in NFL with back-to-back 200-yard receiving games. Not only did he reach 200, he was way over both weeks with 237 yards against the Steelers and then 261 against the Jags. He’s big, fast and physical. Talib will have his hands full for sure. I suppose there will be other players in this game, but it’s the Browns. They just lost to Jacksonville. Is there any way at all they go into New England and win? No. Just no. PICK VS. SPREAD: Browns (+12). STRAIGHT PICK: Patriots.
are always on the lookout for new, interesting ways to lose. Fumbling both in the closing minutes of regulation and again in overtime was their solution last week. I’m thinking it’s time they give up two kick returns for scores or something crazy like that. Maybe a broken play where an offensive lineman advances a fumble 50 yards for a score. Yeah, that sounds pretty Billsy. It’ll be interesting to see how the Bills come out now that they have nothing to play for….again. PICK VS. SPREAD: Buccaneers (-3). STRAIGHT PICK: Buccaneers.

The Chiefs started the season 9-0. Counting their bye, they haven’t won a game in a month. That’s not exactly getting hot at the right time. Of course, when two of your best defensive players miss time with injury, it’s hard to compensate. Alex Smith played well down the stretch against Denver, but apparently the Chiefs didn’t know Peyton Manning was allowed to throw to Eric Decker. That was an ugly loss. The Redskins know a thing about ugly losses. Yes, the refs blew a call last week. Okay say you win that game. Then you’re 4-8. Then what? No, the Redskins have much deeper issues than a ref’s call. People seem to forget all the calls that go for a team and only remember the ones that went against it. Washington fans are among the worst of the bunch in that regard. Anyway, Alfred Morris is four yards away from 1,000 for the year and Pierre Garcon is 20 yards away from the century mark for receiving yards. Both should get it this week. PICK VS. SPREAD: Chiefs (-4). STRAIGHT PICK: Chiefs.
MINNESOTA VIKINGS (3-8-1) at BALTIMORE RAVENS (6-6) The Vikings came within a few minutes of having back-to-back ties. How awesome would that have been? The Ravens have had a lot of time to prepare for this game after beating the Steelers on Thanksgiving. Hopefully they used it to watch tape of Adrian Peterson and not the Vikings quarterbacks because who knows who that will be. Christian Ponder, Matt Cassell and Josh Freeman are all candidates to line up under center at this point. Spoiler alert: all of them are terrible. The Ravens can get over .500 and even claim rights to the sixth seed in the AFC with a little help from Pittsburgh. I can’t imagine the Vikings making a game of this. They have nothing to play for, they’ve played back-to-back overtimes games, they’re on the road and they’re terrible. That’s a bad combination. Of course, if AP runs for another 211 yards, the odds of a Minnesota win go up substantially. PICK VS. SPREAD: Ravens (-7). STRAIGHT PICK: Ravens.
TENNESSEE TITANS (5-7) at DENVER BRONCOS (10-2)
Denver is now firmly in control of its own destiny now that it’s defeated Kansas City twice. Possibly troubling is the injury to Knowshon Moreno. The running back didn’t look right at all last week and lost out on a number of carries to Montee Ball, who racked up a ton of yardage. They might need that run-
ning game against a Tennessee team that actually stops the pass pretty well. The Titans are far from out of the AFC wild card race, too, so it’s not like they won’t be going 100 percent. Ryan Fitzpatrick layed an egg last week against Indy, but that’s to be expected. He’s Ryan Fitzpatrick. Of course, he can pull miracles out of his beard from time to time as well. This won’t be one of them. Peyton and Co. will be looking to clinch that No. 1 seed as soon as possible and then rest up for the playoffs. PICK VS. SPREAD: Broncos (-11). STRAIGHT PICK: Broncos.
ST. LOUIS RAMS (5-7) at ARIZONA CARDINALS (7-5)
Both teams lost last week, though Arizona looked much better doing it. The Cardinals had a chance to really put themselves in good shape for a playoff spot, but couldn’t get the job done in Philly. The Rams had a chance to close the gap on the 49ers, but got thoroughly stomped in San Fran. Now both teams are desperate for a win. Both teams also sports vastly underrated defenses. The difference is that the Cardinals can actually move the ball on offense. The Rams….not so much. The Cardinals are also a stout 5-1 at home, so it would be very shocking if the Rams were able to go into the desert and come out with a win. Of course, I’ve said it a million times: weird things happen in division games. They’re far less predictable than outof-division games. Remember when the Rams went 1-0-1 against the 49ers last year? That’s what I’m talking about. PICK VS. SPREAD: Cardinals (-7). STRAIGHT PICK: Cardinals.
and their fans have been looking forward to exacting a little revenge after getting embarrassed up in Seattle earlier in the year. Russell Wilson is playing at an elite level and Marshawn Lynch does some of his best work against the stingy 49ers defense. On the other side, the 49ers are playing better. Colin Kaepernick doesn’t totally stink lately and Boldin and Crabtree would make a nice receiving corp if they’re healthy. Vernon Davis is a nice pass-catching tight end. These two teams know each other well. It’ll be a battle of the titans and a physical football game. PICK VS. SPREAD: Seahawks (+3). STRAIGHT PICK: Seahawks.
CAROLINA PANTHERS (9-3) at NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (9-3)
Out of the frying pan and into the fire for the Saints. Last week the Legion of Boom and the Seahawks defense and now the sackhappy Panthers. At least this one is at home. And that’s not to be taken lightly. The Saints are 6-0 on their own turf and just 3-3 on the road. The Panthers have won eight straight games and can take over first place in the NFC South with a win. Actually a win would vault them into the driver’s seat for a first-round bye. To say this game is important would be a massive understatement. You know Drew Brees is chomping at the bit to get back on the field after being embarrassed in Seattle. I can’t remember the last time Brees only threw for 140 yards in a game. I’m actually still in shock over it. The Panthers stop the run very well, but the secondary is somewhat soft. If the Saints can slow down Panthers pass rush they NEW YORK GIANTS (5-7) at the should be able to win this SAN DIEGO CHARGERS (5-7) game.

CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, DECEMBER 6, 2013

commentary continued from pg 1 I was initially shocked Johnson actually caught this ball late in the fourth quarter against the Falcons. It just seemed like the kind of ball he’d drop. Naturally, one step, two steps and cornerback Robert McClain pokes the ball out at the Atlanta 30-yard line with 20 second left. In case you haven’t noticed, kicker Dan Carpenter hasn’t missed a field goal since Week 1 so you’d like to think the Bills were more than in range for him to win the game. Alright, Bills fans expect disappointment from Stevie, but then overtime and big, slow, lumbering tight end Scott Chandler happened. Quarterback E.J. Manuel threw a dart to Chandler
across the middle of the field (on a route similar to what Stevie ran on his fumble). The big gain had Bills fans euphoric, but again that feeling lasted all of one second, if that. Atlanta safety William Moore knocked the ball out of Chandler’s hands and the ball just refused to roll out of bounds as it bounced down the field. Atlanta picked it up, ran a few plays to get into range and won it on a 36-yard field goal from Matt Bryant. The unforgivable part of both fumbles was that they were both standard plays. It wasn’t like a defender came out of nowhere to knock the ball away. Both Johnson and Chandler knew they were surrounded
by Falcons. I’ve never played in the NFL, but I’m pretty sure coaches tell you to just go down at that point. It was a fluke helmet to ball collision. It wasn’t a runner getting held up while two other defenders rip at the ball. It was just classic Bills. Western New Yorkers must be gluttons for punishment. How else can you explain why we keep coming back for more of the Sabres and the Bills? Though I can honestly say that I was impressed with E.J. Manuel in this game. Yes, the Falcons possess one of the weakest defenses in the league, but I wasn’t really watching the defense, I was just watching Manuel. He was poised in the pocket, but showed the ability
to escape pressure on a few occasions. He showed some nice touch on a few passes, but actually stepped into a couple of throws down the seam and put some mustard on it. That’s been my biggest criticism of Manuel thus far, but he helped ease some of my doubts by showing off some arm strength. He probably could have had a couple passes intercepted when he made a bad decision or two, but that’s something coaches can work with. It was the first game where Manuel looked like a potential franchise quarterback. Yes he looked pretty good against the Jets last week, but Chad Henne looks ‘pretty good’ sometimes and he’s certainly not
a franchise quarterback. No one expects (or at least they shouldn’t) Manuel to be elite this season or even next because he’s still a project, but I’m finally giving the thumbs up for Bills fans to be excited about this guy. The bottom line here is that for years the Bills haven’t just been losing, they’ve been ripping our hearts right out of our ribcages with their bare hands and then throwing on the floor and stomping on it ‘til we die (Five bonus points for anyone who can name that reference). At least teams like Jacksonville and Oakland have the decency to get stomped from week to week so as to not give their fans a sense of false
hope. I’ve also been hearing rumors now that the Bills might release Stevie at the end of the season. Good. What took you so long? Sure, he has put up decent stats for the last few seasons, but someone has to catch the ball right? Who else on this team was going to catch passes? But now the Bills have options with Robert Woods and Marquise Goodwin. Just sign Hakeem Nicks and let Stevie go. Hasn’t he cost the Bills enough games?

A particular geographic area might claim worldclass fishing for one or perhaps two species. Three is rare. Yet relatively small Chautauqua County boasts of an incredible four worldclass populations of fish. And word is spreading. It's not unusual to see license plates from Tennessee or Virginia or Minnesota or Maine parked alongside water-access points. The term ‘world class’ tends to be overused, but the true definition of the term in a fishing sense requires the satisfaction of two criteria. The first – that a certain body of water holds some of the largest specimens of a particular species in the world. The second – that such large specimens occur in great enough numbers that anglers may have a reasonable expectation of catching one. Chautauqua County's claim to world-class fishing fame currently rests with four species – walleye (locally termed yellow pike), steelhead (a species of rainbow trout), smallmouth bass and musky. Lake Erie's walleye fishery is world class with the best fishing out of the ports of Dunkirk and Barcelona. Walleyes spawn shallow in the spring, then school in great numbers during summer and are noted for their exceptional table quality. Commercial fish-

ing is prohibited on the U.S. side of the lake – one reason the Chautauqua County waters are exceptional – but Canadiancaught walleye is sometimes imported for sale. Steelhead are native to the West Coast of the U.S. and Canada but were transplanted into Lake Erie a century ago. They are an anadramous species of rainbow trout – meaning they summer in an ocean or large lake, then return to streams in the spring and fall. Lake Erie includes several different strains of steelhead, including the newly introduced Skamania strain, which can tolerate warmer water temperatures and thus enter streams earlier in the fall and later in the spring. Lake Erie's smallmouth bass fishery is in a class by itself and the stretch of water from Ripley to the mouth of Cattaraugus Creek is recognized as the world's number one smallmouth bass fishery. Serious bass anglers catch and
release their smallmouths – fish larger than a few pounds are of marginal eating quality. Musky, nicknamed the "water wolf," are similar in shape and appearance to northern pike, but are a vastly different species in terms of maximum size and habits. The Chautauqua-strain musky was the first strain in the world to be artificially propagated for stocking in other waters and Chautauqua Lake has always been a focal point of serious musky hunters – especially the deep waters of the northern basin. Fish in the mid-30-pound range are caught in Chautauqua and some anglers believe a 50-plus-pounder could inhabit the waters. Readers who do not fish can still appreciate these world-class fisheries: Three of the four species are directly observable during their yearly spawns. Catching and observation tips will be presented over the next several columns.

statements were authorized. The Yankees also had been negotiating with outfielder Shin-Soo Choo, who like Ellsbury is represented by agent Scott Boras. There is a long history of stars moving from Beantown to the Big Apple during their careers. Babe Ruth was the most famous, and Roger Clemens, Wade Boggs and
Johnny Damon followed. Ellsbury, who turned 30 in September, led the majors with 52 stolen bases despite being hobbled late in the season by a broken right foot. The lefty-hitting leadoff man batted .298 with nine homers and 53 RBIs, and the short right-field porch at Yankee Stadium should boost his power numbers.
changes over substitutions and three pointers over layups. A total of 12 players played at least ten minutes, and the Saxons fired up 43 three-point attempts. They connected 14 times (32 percent). The Devils were seven of 19 from beyond the arc. The game was slowed by 52 combined fouls. The Devils were 23 of 38 from the line, while Alfred shot 18 of 32 from the charity stripe. Alfred outrebounded the Devils, 52-44. To start the game, the Devils scored first and led 15-13 at the 12:33 mark following a three pointer by Ray Parris (Brooklyn/Benjamin Banaker). From there, the Saxons went on a 20-4 run to build a 14-point lead. They would fi nish the half with a 47-36 lead. The Devils battled to within nine points midway through the second half following a three pointer by Clark to make it a 67-58 game with 12:10 to go. The Saxons would build up their largest lead of 22 points, 83-61, before the Devils made their late run. The Devils open up the conference portion of their schedule this weekend with a women's/men's doubleheader in Steele Hall. Friday brings New Paltz to the Fieldhouse, and Saturday's opponent is Oneonta.

NBa Game In Mexico city postponed By Ricardo Zuniga Associated Press
The game between the San Antonio Spurs and Minnesota Timberwolves was postponed Wednesday night because of smoky conditions inside the Mexico City arena. The matchup will be made up in Minnesota at a later date. The arena was evacuated about 45 minutes before the scheduled 9:30 p.m. EST tipoff when a generator malfunction outside the arena sent smoke pouring into the building, accord-
ing to NBA the scheduled spokeswoman start, the Spurs Sharon Lima. bus pulled away from the Mexico City building. The Police said in a Timberwolves statement there bus followed was a fire in the soon after. generator room on the fourth While the floor of the teams were modern glasswarming up for clad arena that their regularopened in 2012. season matchup, lights went "What hapout in parts of pened was the arena and provoked by a smoke began short circuit in coming out of the room of generators," the vents in the upper deck. statement said in Spanish. The court quickly became About 15 minutes after cloudy.
"I thought they were practicing fi reworks, Spurs TV analyst Sean Elliot said. "A lot of teams do that before introductions. But then the smoke just kept creeping and it wasn't white smoke. It was like a brown dark smoke and it started taking over the whole court. It was surprising." Fans had not yet been allowed into the arena for the NBA's first regular-season game in the country since Houston and Dallas played in Mexico City on Dec. 6, 1997, when the evacuation was ordered. The teams went to their buses, still wearing their practice gear.
THE FUTURE IS STILL UNDECIDED IN TORONTO CONTINUED FROM PG 1 ''Nothing comes above winning,'' Brandon said. ''When I took over the reins on Jan. 1, I said that was the number one focus, and that will be the number one focus. That's one of the reasons that this will be reviewed in a grand manner.'' Brandon stopped short of saying whether the Bills would consider canceling the series or can opt out of the four remaining years of the deal renewed in January with Toronto-based communications giant Rogers Communications. ''I'm going to look at everything. I'll just leave it at that,'' Brandon said, before being asked a second time whether the Bills can opt out. ''My focus in this organization is simple, to put ourselves in the position to win championships and sustain success. Period. Nothing comes above that.'' Brandon's comments came after Buffalo's 34-31 overtime loss Sunday to Atlanta
in Toronto. By playing indoors at the domed Rogers Centre, the warm-weather Falcons avoid having to play in the wintry conditions - and traditionally more raucous environment - at Ralph Wilson Stadium in Orchard Park, N.Y. The loss put a big dent in the Bills' chances of realistically staying in the AFC playoff race. At 4-8, Buffalo closes its season playing three of its final four on the road, beginning with a trip to Tampa Bay (3-9) on Sunday. Buffalo is in jeopardy of extending the NFL's longest active postseason drought to 14 seasons. And the Bills will go a ninth straight year without a winning record. The Bills are 0-4 in games they've played in Toronto during December. Their lone win came on Oct. 30, 2011, when they defeated Washington 23-0. The Bills made the decision to play games in Toronto,
about a 2-hour drive from Buffalo, in a bid to expand their base and generate additional revenue from Canada's largest city and fi nancial capital. A lack of home-team support and poor attendance remain issues in Toronto since the series started in 2008. The announced crowd of 38,969 was by far the smallest of the series, and well short of the stadium's NFL capacity of 46,470, not including suites. Rogers did announce the fi rst four regular season games at Toronto had been sellouts, before later acknowledging the totals included thousands of free tickets it had distributed. Several Atlanta players were pleasantly surprised to see a notable number of fans wearing Falcons jerseys in the stands on Sunday. ''The crazy part is we had a lot of support here,'' said Falcons safety William Moore, noting he saw
someone wearing his No. 25 jersey. ''It didn't feel like we were in Canada.'' The series has delivered in generating revenue and luring more southern Ontario fans back to Buffalo. The Bills estimate Canadians now make up about 15 percent of their seasonticket base. That rivals the number of season-ticket holders the Bills usually get from nearby Rochester. As part of the initial fiveyear deal, Rogers agreed to pay $78 million for the right to essentially lease eight Bills home games - five regular season and three preseason. The final preseason game was eventually dropped because of scheduling difficulties. In exchange, the Bills earned more than double of what they usually generated from hosting games in Buffalo. The value of the most recent deal has not been revealed.
