significance and waning importance. Historically, we ‘give’ at Christmas as a reflection of what God did for us by sending His Son as a gift. It’s a symbolic representation of Jesus’ birth. It’s not about a fat man in a red suit, or good sales, or a turkey or ham. It’s about Jesus Christ. Gift-giving takes place in remembrance of this, the greatest gift of all. Lately, though, my wife and I have noticed that we’ve seen so many people trying to ‘get back to the root of Christmas,’ by not giving gifts at all, but rather focusing just on family time, etc. Now, before we go down this road, let me say this. I know that a lot of folks, financially, have to be mindful of what they spend at Christmas, ourselves included. We’d love to buy our family and friends all the things they’d like, but that’s not where we’re at right
now. But, that doesn’t mean we forfeit giftgiving entirely. Not giving gifts, when one is fully able to do so, is not being sentimental, it’s being cheap. You can still give GREAT gifts and not break the bank. My wife amazes me every year at how far she can make a dollar stretch. For the grandparents, a simple card with a painted handprint from the kids makes all the difference. Paint and paper - $2. I’m not saying that if we don’t spend thousands on Christmas, we’re horrible people. Simply, I’m saying that, while Jesus came to make all mankind part of God’s family, the focus of the ‘holiday,’ traditionally, points back to gift-giving. Additionally, it’s interesting to me how at Christmas time, we need a reason to give. Donations to charities skyrocket during the
holidays. Stores see their biggest purchases of the year come through, often bringing them from the ‘red’ into the ‘black’ (hence Black Friday, if you didn’t know). Why do we need to be told to give? Why to we need to feel sentimental before we donate to a sound cause? Buck the system by making September your biggest month of giving. Give gifts all year long. If we adopt a giving mentality, as a whole, that ‘pay it forward’ ideology will filter into all the pores of our society. And as it’s been said for almost 2,000 years, it is better to give than to receive. This Christmas, remember – it’s not about getting, it’s about giving.

boy or girl?
ideas for the gender reveal By Katy Wise Contributing Writer
A few weeks ago, we were on the beloved subject of babies. There are plenty of things about these sweet little creatures that are just downright wonderful, but one of the most exciting pieces of news that you can share during pregnancy is the gender of your baby. In the past couple of years, the idea of a gender reveal has become a little more trendy, and it probably has a lot to do with Pinterest. That and the ever increasing-technology that now allows us to tell with high accuracy what we’ve been nurturing in the womb. If you caught our article on creative ways to announce that you’re expecting a couple of months back, then you saw that we are also expecting. Our third baby is on the way, and we just found out yesterday what this little one is. Each baby is special, and even if they aren’t your first, that doesn’t mean that they are in any way less valuable or important. I’m also not trying to say that either gender is in some way better than the other, it’s just a fun way to celebrate each new family member, and get to know them a little
better before you meet them! If you ‘Pinterest’ at all, then you have probably seen an onslaught of gender reveal parties, photos, gifts, you name it. There are plenty of cute and just plain fun ideas out there, but here are a few of our favorites. The classic fi lled cupcakes. This is one of the most simple ways to tell people whether you’re expecting blue or pink. We did this with our second pregnancy, and had a small gender reveal party to tell our closest family & friends. Either using a knife or a cupcake fi ller (I really don’t think that’s what it’s called, but I found ours in the baking aisle for about $3) cut out the middle of your cupcake and fi ll with frosting. There are plenty of variations to this idea, such as doing a full cake, cake pops, cookies fi lled with sprinkles, or even letting it be a surprise for the expecting parents too! Plenty of parents opt to be surprised at the
same time as the rest of the family, or even privately by having the technician or doctor doing the sonogram write down the gender and seal it inside the envelope. You can later take it to a bakery and have them make a baked good of your choice that will reveal what you’re having. Another option would be balloons or confetti. We also went the balloon route for our second son, and let his older brother open up a box fi lled with blue balloons. This let Joshua feel included, like he got to announce
the special news to the world that he was going to have a little brother. This one is also simple, our only difficulty in the task was finding a box big enough to hold the balloons! Now, last but not least, our most recent gender announcement. Although we would have loved to have another small party with close friends and family, we knew it would be difficult to get everyone together this close to
Christmas. There’s already plenty going on, so we decided to tell each of our family members and close friends individually. Once again, our oldest got to be in on all the surprise. Joshua accompanied us to our sonogram, and then went with me to visit people and drop off some little scratch off cards that my husband and I collaborated on. My husband designed
and printed them for me, and then I completed the DIY scratch offs. By using a small piece of tape or contact paper to cover the ‘prize,’ you protect the paper from the paint and scratching. Once the tape or paper has been applied, combine a small amount of silver craft paint with dish soap. Mix well and paint over the tape. I used about 3 coats of paint, but the entire project took about 30 minutes from start to finish. And as you can see above, our scratch offs revealed PINK! Baby #3 is a girl, and our family is thrilled to be adding some glitter to our lives. If you have any cute gender reveal ideas that you or a friend/ family member have done, please share with us! Thanks for reading, and Happy Holidays from HBK!

Fredonia Poet an Invited Speaker in U.S. and Abroad Contributed Article Fredonia
Professor Aimee Nezhukumatathil of the State University of New York at Fredonia Department of English offered two poetry readings recently at prestigious programs. Her work was selected from that of poets around the globe. Professor Nezhukumatathil was chosen to kick off the 2014 President’s Speaker Series at Yale University’s Singapore campus in October. The series showcases accomplished, international professionals from a diverse range of disciplines. It was designed to welcome speakers to Singapore’s first liberal arts college, furthering the school’s commitment to building a community that combines living and learning while promoting habits of creativity, curiosity and critical thinking. Yale-Singapore’s president, Dr. Pericles Lewis, and Professor Robin Hemley, selected Nezhukumatathil
as one of seven scholars from around the world to speak during the series. The lectures are designed for a broad audience, enabling the community to learn from and engage with some of the brightest academics and practitioners in a diverse range of disciplines on contemporary issues in our world today. For more information, go to http://www.yale-nus.edu.sg/events/ president-speaker-series/aimeenez/. In November, Nezhukumatathil presented her work at Phillips Exeter Academy as the Fall 2014 Lamont Poet. Two poets are invited to the school each year to offer a reading, and then to present the school library with a manuscript poem. The poem, along with each poet’s photograph, is displayed in the library’s Special Collections archive. For more information regarding Nezhukumatathil’s role in the Lamont Poetry Series, visit http://www.exeter. edu/libraries/553_7549.aspx or http://libguides.exeter.edu/content. php?pid=193387&sid=1621314.
Jefferson 6th Graders Become Roller Coaster Engineers Contributed Article JPS
Jefferson Middle School sixth grader, CamRon Mays, sketched the final details on his roller coaster, “The Bowl of Fire” during Susan Schrader’s Learning Lab. Students in Ms. Schrader’s and Ashley Johnson’s Learning Labs participated in the cool experience of becoming Roller Coaster Engineers. Stemming from their sixth grade science lessons, students started their adventure by discussing the best roller coasters they have rode and the potential
and kinetic energy that made them so much fun. Students visited the PBS Kids website, where they built roller coasters by placing tracks on a platform. They tested their roller coaster to see if it had enough potential and kinetic energy to get their cars to the end of the track. After several trials, each student gained the experience of how to create a track with enough energy. After the student engineers learned about the energy it takes to create a roller coaster, they became engineers themselves and constructed their own designs. Each roller coaster consisted of many hills and loops,
and students also had to show the amount of kinetic and potential energy their roller coaster used, as well as the speed of their cars. Just like a true engineer after completing the rough draft, students created the actual roller coaster on large poster board. “It was fun designing our own roller coasters,” said Jefferson sixth grader Gia Slaughter. “But we also learned a lot about kinetic and potential energy and how potential energy is used going up the hills on a roller coaster and kinetic energy is used going down. We got to be creative when we designed our own roller coasters, including the name.”

Keeping the Faith
Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church Fredonia fcfredonia.org
Dear Pastor, it seems that every time my family gets together, we end up arguing. I am so dreading the holidays.
While this is a very tough dilemma, be assured…God has an answer for you! Let me begin with the obvious. Family can be a potential hotbed of arguments, past hurts, and unresolved issues. It seems that the very things that build family togetherness can sometimes lead to division and confl ict and strife. While it would be wonderful if we all had a family like the TV family, the Waltons, more often than not, it’s more like the Simpsons! And this is the problem…unrealistic expectations. We can get ourselves into a bad way when we begin to compare our real family with some imagined model
of "perfect peace and love." Disappointment with the way things are can lead to frustration. Frustration can lead to a bad attitude and a bad attitude can lead to arguments and hurt feelings. Not good! Fear not…God has an answer to this situation. 1 Corinthians 13:1-8, better known as the love chapter, tells us that no matter what we are facing, when we make our decisions based on love, we will never fail. Part of walking in God's kind of love includes "not seeking their own." Most arguments happen when each person is trying to get their way or "win" an argument. Unfortunately, when someone wins, someone

loses. And this can lead to the ultimate loss…the relationship. The question you must ask yourself is "do I want to be right or do I want to be happy?" Is it worth having an argument about politics with family that you may see only a few times a year? Isn't it more loving to be quiet and maintain the family peace? As a Pastor, I hear a lot of these situations at this time of year. My spiritual counsel to my flock always includes a few recommendations on handling these situations. First, don’t wait till you’re already in the situation. Prepare ahead to keep your spiritual bank account full! Keeping in prayer
and reading your Bible daily is like making a deposit into the account. When a situation arises, you'll have something to pull from in order to walk in love. Galatians 6:8-10 tells us that if we sow good works, we will eventually reap good works if we do not lose heart! Next week… more holiday!

Choosing the right toys
making a good choice this holidaY can help kids meet deVelopmental milestones Contributed Article StatePoint
This holiday season, keep in mind the notion that what your children play with can have a large impact on their interests and brain development. So when it comes to a walk down the toy aisle, parents are becoming more discerning, leading smart toymakers to design toys with a learning component that’s equally as important as the fun. VTech, a world leader in age-appropriate and developmental stage-based electronic learning products for children, works with a team of child development experts to assess toys and provide feedback before reaching store shelves. The members of VTech’s Expert Panel are offering some helpful holiday shopping hints to parents looking to foster their child’s love of learning: • Add it up: “Mathematical foundations provide the building blocks for future mathematical success, both in school and beyond,” says Dr. Francis (Skip) Fennell, mathematics educator. “Toys that emphasize numbers, counting and beginning concepts with whole number operations will develop, support and encourage these crucial concepts and skills.” The Count & Chomp Dino, for example, introduces children to numbers, Continued on page 18

children's gifts, continued from page 17 colors, shapes and foods. • Age-appropriate: “Children's brains are developing at a remarkable speed,” says Dr. Lise Eliot, an early childhood development expert. “Their toys should keep up with that growth.” Keep kids challenged with educational toys that are age-appropriate, so they are never bored or frustrated. Consider child-sized, kid-friendly tablets, such as the InnoTab MAX, that are packed with educational, stagebased learning content. • Full STEAM ahead: Science, technology, engineering and mathematics (collectively known as STEM) have gained more visibility in schools, along with
the addition of arts to form STEAM. However, says Dr. Carla C. Johnson, science and STEM expert, “It is still crucial to cultivate skills in these subjects and implement them in everyday learning. Educational toys can help kids develop self-confidence in the use and application of these important disciplines.” • Build vocabulary: “Children absorb new information like sponges. Take advantage of their blossoming interests with interactive toys that highlight letters of the alphabet, the sounds letters make and vocabulary,” says Dr. Deborah Sharp Libby, early childhood language and reading expert. “Above all, don't forget the im-
portance of reading to and with your children often!” • Choose wisely: “Don’t get carried away with the bells and whistles. You and your kids will quickly look past those. Instead, look for toys that actively engage your kids through technology, by deeply integrating games and learning,” says Dr. Eric Klopfer, platform learning expert. Remember, each child grows at his or her own pace, and there are few hard and fast deadlines when it comes to a child’s milestones. For a detailed guideline, sorted by age group and area of development, along with other free parenting resources, visit www.vtechkids. With toys as tools for com/milestones. learning, you can help

level. He got out of us what he wanted to get out of us.” Some visitors might do a double take when they visit Seneca Falls during the festival as actors depicting movie characters will circulate through town. A special movie-themed postmark will also be unveiled during the weekend and visitors can bring stamped holiday cards to the post office to receive it. At the end of the weekend, church bells will toll in honor of loved ones who made an impact on others’ lives. Every year a George Bailey Award is given to an outstanding com-
munity leader who often goes unrecognized much like Stewart’s character did for most of the movie. This year’s winner is Steve Van Kirk, a wellrespected businessman who has been active with local theater and school groups. “It brings the whole town together, “ said Barbara Reigel, chairperson for the festival. For many years, Seneca Falls was believed to be the inspiration behind the fictional Bedford Falls. “We’re Bedford Falls. Whenever we watched it, we would play this game of spotting similarities,” said Fran
Caraccilo, a resident who helped found the festival in 1995. “It turns out a number of local people were doing the exact same thing.” Both the fictional town and Seneca Falls were mill towns. The steel truss bridge is a great reminder of the one shown in a pivotal scene in the fi lm. It has a plaque dedicated to Antonio Varacalli, a man who jumped from the bridge into the water to save a girl who attempted suicide. The girl lived, but Varacalli died. Anwei Law, who coordinates the Seneca Falls It’s a Wonderful Life Museum and Archives, points out

that two early versions of the fi lm’s script make no mention of anyone jumping off the bridge. She feels the scene in the movie was inspired by Capra’s visit to the area in 1945 just before the fi lm was made. There are large Italian populations in the fictional and actual town and lots of New York locations like Buffalo and Elmira are mentioned onscreen. Caraccilo said that those towns were not mentioned in the original short story that formed the basis for the movie. Then there is the visit with the barber. Caraccilo said that a barber named Tom Bellissima cut Frank Capra’s hair in the 1940s. At the time Bellissima didn’t recognize the director, but bonded over their Sicilian roots and the meanings of their
surnames. In Italian, Bellissima means very beautiful while Capra means goat. “They ended up laughing about it,” he said. In 1995, the world caught up with their open secret. A reporter for the Finger Lakes Times on assignment to cover a local education story started inquiring about the similarities between the movie and town. A front-page story followed that questioned whether Seneca Falls could have inspired the fi lm locale. Residents were motivated by the piece and decided to put together a bare-bones festival that year showing the movie and involving local merchants who were asked to add a 1940s theme to their holiday windows. Businesses offered Clarence sales instead of clearance sales, a likely nod to the

angel in the fi lm who guides the lead character, George Bailey. Larger and larger news outlets became interested and now the festival expects to attract 7,000 people including some who will travel internationally to attend. “There’s a fondness for Jimmy Stewart and all these great characters,” said Susan Wloszczyna, a contributor and critic at www.RogerEbert. com, a Website devoted to fi lm criticism and commentary in memory of the late Chicago Sun-Times critic. It’s clear this timeless cinematic work still resonates in 2014. “This fi lm engages your emotions. You have to make an investment to get
the uplifting ending. The plot will sustain you through multiple viewings,” she said dismissing some fluffier Christmas fare regularly shown on television today while underscoring Capra’s genius. “He knew how to push our buttons even now.” Christine Sparta is a freelance writer from the New York City area.

Enroth Stout As Sabres Beat Kings, 1-0 By Nick Mendola AP Hockey Writer
When asked what he wanted from his struggling power play, Buffalo Sabres coach Nolan quipped, ''A goal.'' Tyler Ennis granted that wish with a third-period, power play tally, and the Sabres got 34 saves from Jhonas Enroth in a 1-0 win over the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday night. ''We did some extra time with them here (Monday) and it was good to get one,'' Nolan said. ''It's good for your confidence, especially in a game like this.''

points. Both offenses are relatively simple and, lately, have performed pretty poorly. The Cardinals are now without their quarterback and running back. In an offense that’s not very good to begin with, that’s a bad combination. Larry Fitzgerald has been banged up, too. The Cardinals are 7-0 at home, but only 3-3 at the road. So on the road and with a short week, the cards are stacked against the Cards. The Rams haven’t allowed a point in the last two weeks. Yes, it was against two relatively weak teams, but the Cardinals don’t exactly have a stacked offense, so it’s not out of the realm of possibility that the Rams pitch their third consecutive shutout. This should be a boring, low-scoring game. Sad that it’ll be the only watching option on Thursday night. PICK VS. SPREAD: Rams (-3.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Rams.
For the first time in quite some time, this column actually had a pretty good week picking against the spread. That success put the overall record at exactly .500. Here’s hoping that can improve this week. Ending the regular season over .500 is the goal at this point. Ready. Set. To the picks! ARIZONA CARDINALS (10-3) at ST. LOUIS RAMS (6-7) You could make an argument that the Rams are the better team here despite the records. Both teams rely on stout defenses that GREEN BAY PACKsimply don’t allow many ERS (10-3) at BUF-
FALO BILLS (7-6) The Bills’ season all but ended with last week’s loss to the Broncos. This is still a dangerous team with a very good defense and an offense that features some dangerous weapons like Sammy Watkins and Robert Woods. Kyle Orton and the offense as a whole have regressed, but the Packers don’t exactly sport the best defense, so the Bills should be able to put up some points. The Packers can score at will behind Aaron Rodgers and Co. This offense is pretty clearly the best in the league, or at the very least the most efficient offense. Detractors will point to the Packers’ 3-3 record on the road, but those losses are early-season losses to the Seahawks and Lions and the third came in prime time against New Orleans. All three of those places are notoriously difficult spots for road teams to win. Buffalo’s pass rush might be able to put some pressure on Rodgers, but there’s no way this secondary can stop

Both Bell and Jones should be in line for another big game in this one. Both teams are trying to get into the playoffs, so a win is going to be highly coveted. It’s not often that a team with a 5-8 record is playing a must-watch game, but this is a big one this week. PICK VS. SPREAD: Falcons (+2.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Falcons. Continued on page 33

Self-Proclaimed Expert Picks, continued from page 33 WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM (3-10) at NEW YORK GIANTS (4-9) Where did that come from? The Giants looked like a complete football team last week in a thorough demolishing of the Titans. It’s probably not enough to save Tom Coughlin’s job, but it was nice to see the Giants of yesteryear again. Of course, Eli Manning threw another pick-6, but that’s to be expected at this point. The Football Team on the other hand, might be forced to turn the ball back over to RG3 once again after Colt McCoy suffered a neck injury in last week’s loss. Just when we thought
the Griffin saga was over in Washington, we get drawn back in. The bottom line is that this game has nothing to do with the playoffs, so therefore doesn’t matter at all. PICK VS. SPREAD: Giants (-7). STRAIGHT PICK: Giants.

STRAIGHT PICK: Ravens. TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS (2-11) at CAROLINA PANTHERS (4-8-1) Few people saw the Panthers clobbering of the Saints coming last week. That win somehow kept the Panthers in contention for the division title. It’s actually not all that unlikely at all. Carolina currently sits just a half-game behind New Orleans and Atlanta. So with the season now still alive and the woeful Tampa Bay team coming to town, the Panthers have to feel rejuvenated. Maybe that brawl last week even sparked some muchneeded team chemistry. Cam Newton has been nothing short of bad this year, but he still has the physical tools to be a star in this league.

U.S. Baseball Academy To Return To Jamestown Contributed Article U.S. Baseball Academy
At U.S. Baseball Academy, young players can enjoy a real Spring Training experience. U.S. Baseball Academy, which operates a national network of affordable hitting, pitching, catching, fielding and baserunning camps for players in grades 1 through 12, is pleased to announce the return of Jamestown CC to its lineup for the coming winter and spring. Registration is now under way at www. USBaseballAcademy.com. U.S. Baseball Academy's Spring Training 2015 provides young players with advanced hitting, pitching, catching, fielding and baserunning training programs with instruction by the area's top coaches at the area’s top facilities. Players who choose multiple skills qualify for discounted session prices. U.S. Baseball Academy's 2015 Spring Training program will be held at nearly 220 sites across the United States. The session
in Jamestown runs January 18-February 8 at Jamestown CC. Jamestown CC head coach, Dick Adams, will direct the program. Instructors will include a staff of the area’s best coaches. With a player-coach ratio of 6:1, each player gets plenty of individual attention in a smallgroup atmosphere. In addition to unbeatable instruction by the area's best coaches, players get a preseason tune-up that helps them enter team practice in mid-season form. With numerous age-specific sessions, instruction is specially tailored for each ability level. Overall, it's the type of intense, professional instruction young players just can't get in a summer league. Since 1988, U.S. Baseball Academy has run hundreds of camps and clinics for thousands of players nationwide. Each week, hitters rotate through a series of supervised stations, including indoor batting cages, with each drill designed to teach a different aspect of hitting. Players enjoy participating in hitting games and specialized stations
used by top high school and college programs. The program is designed to improve pitch and strike zone recognition, timing, balance, power, situational hitting, bunting, and other aspects. Pitchers work under the supervision of coaches who can help with all aspects of pitching, from fundamentals and mechanics to more advanced concepts. Drills and repetition will improve a pitcher's speed and control. Our catcher's camp covers all aspects of being behind the plate. Players will get instruction on stance, signs, receiving, framing, blocking, throwing, fielding bunts, tags and the mental aspects of dealing with pitchers. Registration deadlines are approximately six weeks before each session begins, but last year's camps sold out much earlier. Because of the low player-coach ratio, spots in each session are limited. Complete details and times for each site, as well as registration forms are available online at www. USBaseballAcademy.comor by phoning toll free 866-622-4487.

He won in car or going to the junior a canter by four lengths prom, Vincent Powers with a time of 2:08.20. was the leading jockey in The winner’s purse in
1909 was $4,850. In all, Wintergreen raced six seasons, and while he was stakesplaced several times, the Kentucky Derby was his only stakes win. He remains to this day, the only Kentucky Derby winner bred in the Buckeye State. Powers’ ride on Wintergreen, regarded as one of the easiest victories of his career, attracted the attention of leading horsemen. One of these was noted trainer Sam Hildreth. Powers rode for Hildreth on a mount named Fitz Herbert, winning several major stake races. Included are the Advance Stakes and the Lawrence Realization Stakes, both contested at Sheepshead Bay Race Track in Brooklyn. Powers considered Fitz Herbert, the outstanding handicap horse of 1909 and 1910, to be the best horse he had ever ridden. Powers won back to back campionships as the top jockey in the nation by repeating the feat in 1909 with 173 wins, 121 seconds and 114 thirds on 704 total mounts. Horse racing soon fell
out of favor as scandals and the rise of Victorian morality led to the end of legal gambling. By 1910, virtually all forms of gambling were prohibited in the U.S. The only legal betting that occurred was in three states which allowed horse racing. Eighteenyear-old Vincent, at the top of his game, was “all dressed up, but had no place to go.” So in 1911 Powers went to Europe to ride for a guaranteed salary of $10,000. He continued to experience success in Germany and France. Having increasing difficulty in maintaining proper weight overseas forced him to turn his attention to the horseracing sport of steeplechase. His transition proved fruitful as he enjoyed success riding steeplechase on the Continent. When World War I broke out in Europe in 1914, Powers returned to the United States with his German-born wife, Hedwig. He found that, although thoroughbred racing had resumed again in New York State in 1913, the sport was struggling. Steeplechase devotees, however, were
full of enthusiasm. Powers became a contract steeplechase rider for Greentree Stables and its owner, Payne Hay Whitney and his wife, Helen. Riding successes continued. In 1917 Powers was the leading steeplechase jockey in the country with 15 victories, 9 seconds and 9 thirds on 39 mounts. As such, he became the only jockey in history to lead the nation both on the flats and through the fields. When Jimmie Owens, head trainer at Greentree, died in 1922, Powers took over the training duties which he maintained for the rest of his career in horse racing. Powers, the top steeplechase rider in 1917, was named the top steeplechase trainer just ten
years later. He saddled 19 winners in 1927 and won an unprecedented $103,889. He developed Jolly Roger, the first steeplechase horse to earn more than $100,000. Powers retired in 1946 and he and Hedwig made their home in Queens Village, NY. Powers died in 1966 at age 75. His life was full and included some of the finest horses in America that he rode and trained, both on the flat tracks and in steeplechase. And all from a boy from Westfield. Some of the information above was taken from an article written by Chuck Korbar, for the Dunkirk Evening Observer, in May 1982.
