In an effort to show their appreciation and give back this holiday season, Aire Serv Heating and Air Conditioning of Southwestern New York will be giving away a brand new furnace with installation to one deserving family identified as being in need.

tion on the time-tested natural gas and oil industry. Without getting into the nitty-gritty, ‘fracking’ essentially frees the fossil fuels that are lined the shale beneath us. As Senator Young puts it, it would have launched an economic boom for our area that could have lasted a century. Opponents of fracking believe that it is harmful to the environment – which is backed up by abundantly scarce scientific evidence. While there is a small chance of contamination of the water table, if performed properly the benefits of fracking far, far outweigh any chance of risk. Since he took office, our Governor has been slammed with requests from liberal environmentalists to ban fracking in New York. Surprisingly, he actually didn’t pass any sort of law regarding the measure until this year. Not surprisingly, he waited until just a month after elections to do so. In case that doesn’t spell it out – let me be
clear. Being in politics requires no backbone whatsoever. You can bend, mold and twist your thoughts and opinions until they appeal to the particular masses you want to shmooze. And yes, lefties, I’m speaking on a bi-partisan nature. It happens on both sides of the aisle. Since I’ve graduated high school, which is going to be ten years next year, I’ve seen hundreds of my schoolmates flee this area like it's a burning building. Why? Our economy has been sucked dry by a government wanting to train up a handout society, rather than promote industry and economy. While I don’t support the governor’s decision to ban fracking in our state, I more so am frankly disgusted by the political tactics taken. It takes courage, strength to lead a state, a nation. The presidents who, in our nation’s history, have made a mark were those who stood up courageously for what

was right in the face of opposition from everyone, their party or not. The decision to wait until after midterm elections to pass this resolution shows me one thing – a complete and total lack of courage. There was an incredibly good chance that, had this ban been passed not even two months ago, our governor would not have been re-elected. So it's no coincidence that the decision was conveniently held off until afterward. Right? In our modern day political climate, lack of strong conviction is hailed as good politics. Opinions are only as convenient as the winds that brought that brought them in, and the company they keep. Merry Christmas. May you and your family celebrate joyfully in the midst of another swing of the great and mighty Albany ax.

memorial Donations Lead to new Equipment For Fredonia Fire Department
Contributed Article Fredonia Fire Department
Recently, the Fredonia Fire Department purchased two brand-new Stryker stretchers with funds raised through memorial donations. The stretchers, which are state-of-the-art, are now a permanent, and beneficial, fi xture for the EMS team. As people donate to the Fire Department in memory of a loved one, the department then uses these donations to upgrade materials.

Aire Serve also offers around-the-clock availability for emergencies and serves the entire Jamestown area, Southwestern New York and Northwestern Pennsylvania. The Heating For The Holidays furnace giveaway is just one of the charitable endeavors the business is involved with as the company philosophy of giving back is promoted throughout the year and not just during the holiday season. “We have identified that there is a need out there
and some families simply cannot afford a new furnace and the associated installation costs,” said Santiago. “If we can do something that helps out a family in need and can help avoid and safety or health concerns by replacing and aging equipment with a modern, state-of-the-art furnace, we believe that we are truly making a difference in our community.”

Keeping the merry in christmas
For the presents that didn’t get the foil paper treatment, I have a confession to make. I am incredibly guilty of reusing gift bags. They have to meet specific requirements to be saved, (no writing, no tape residue, no tears etc.) but most gift bags we receive get neatly folded and put in a huge drawer that is organized by size. I also stocked up at the end of the season last year when gift bags and tissue paper were 50-75% off. How can warning of the day. enjoyed. I don’t know For me, this was sadyou beat that?

It will be shown on Friday, January 2, at 11 a.m. Gone and nearly forgotten in extinction, the Labrador Duck, the Great Auk, the Heath Hen, the Carolina Parakeet, and the Passenger Pigeon leave holes not just in the North American landscape but in our collective memories. Moved by their stories, sculptor Todd McGrain set out to create memorials to the lost birds— to bring their vanished forms back into the world. The Lost Bird Project follows the road-trip that McGrain and his brother-in-law, Andy Stern, take as they search for the locations where the birds were last seen in the wild and negotiate for permission to install McGrain’s large bronze sculptures there. Traveling all the way from the tropical swamps of Florida to Martha’s Vineyard to the rocky coasts of Newfoundland over a period of two years, McGrain and Stern scout loca-
The Lost Bird Project, a documentary about the work of sculptor Todd McGrain, will be shown at the Audubon Nature Center’s First Friday Lunch Bunch on January 2, 2015.

tions, talk to park rangers, speak at town meetings and battle bureaucracy in their effort to gather support for the project. McGrain’s aim in placing the sculptures is to give presence to the birds where they are now so starkly absent. “These birds are not commonly known,” he says, “and they ought to be, because forgetting is another kind of extinction. It’s such a thorough erasing.” The Lost Bird Project is about public art, extinction and memory. It is an elegy to five extinct North American birds and a thoughtful, moving, sometimes humorous look at the artist and his mission. Deborah Dickson, whose previous fi lms have been nominated three times for Oscars, directed the fi lm. It is produced by Muffie Meyer, whose previous directing credits include the original Grey Gardens documentary and
several Emmy awardwinning documentaries. The score, composed by Grammy-winner Christopher Tin, is a stirring tone-poem for chamber orchestra, evoking the majesty of these flocks of birds, and the pathos of their eventual demise. You can learn more about Todd McGrain and see a trailer of the fi lm at www.toddmcgrain.com. Following the program, coffee and tea will be provided for a BYO brown bag lunch. The fee for attending is $8 or $6 for Friends of the Nature Center. Reservations are not required. The Audubon Nature Center is at 1600 Riverside Road, one-quarter mile east of Route 62 between Jamestown, New York, and Warren, Pennsylvania.

be – by living and loving in the manner Jesus did, in order to help them rediscover the reality of God’s redeeming love.” Pastor Kibbe says he hopes to accomplish that goal through a loving, accepting, and transparent church which encourages authentic Christian faith through practical teaching and personal relationships. “Our focus is on being a healthy, loving church family that faithfully serves God and others.” “I am convinced,” Kibbe adds, “that clear biblical teaching which is both practical and passionate is key to helping people understand what God desires, and how they should respond in order to experience the life God intends for them to enjoy. People won’t apply what they don’t understand.” His wife Chris, who serves as Executive Director of LOVE INC, (In The Name of Christ) in Jamestown adds, “one of the things that I’ve come to know through my experiences is that you will never change
lives without relationships with people. Having made those relationships, they are now in a better position to become a devoted follower of Christ, and to equip and empower people to serve God in the way He wired them, and do it all for God’s glory and the sake of Christ.” The Kibbes say COTR’s goal is to make new people feel comfortable and accepted. They recognize that attending a new church for the first time can be intimidating, so they seek to create a safe atmosphere that allows people to listen and learn at their own pace, and even remain anonymous, if that’s their choice. “We don’t have an expectation of anyone when they come in – come as you are, it’s a casual atmosphere with casual dress. We try to lay aside those unspoken rules which tend to keep people away,” Pastor Kibbe explains. “I like to express our mission in four words: believe, belong, become, and build. We
are committed to seeing every person believing in Jesus, belonging to a church family, becoming like Jesus in their daily lives, and building God’s kingdom (i.e. expanding God’s influence). We feel this is the process of growth that is modeled in the New Testament, and this process works best in the context of the local church. ” Two Scriptures inspired the name of the church: Psalm 18:1-2, which speaks of God as a Rock, or refuge, to which people can turn to, and find protection; and Luke 6:47-48, where Jesus compares a person who is willing to hear and apply his teachings to a man who is building a house, and chooses to dig down deep and lay the house’s foundation on solid rock. That house will stand firm because it is well built. “Those scriptures reflected well our goal to help people build meaningful lives that can withstand life’s storms and conform to biblical truth.” ContinuED on PAGE 12

The Weekly Word
Wisdom in the Words of Our Mouth Life should not be random. Random lives are hurting lives. God has given to us wisdom principles to practice so that we are not living life in confusion and desperation. Proverbs 16:23 says, "The heart of the wise teaches his mouth and adds learning to his lips." You could say it this way, "The central issue that makes a person wise is the words they allow to Rev. Timothy Stahlman escape from their mouths." Verse 24 goes on to say, Family Church Jamestown "Pleasant words are like a fcjamestown.org honeycomb; sweet to the soul and health to the bones." Notice that these two verses Wisdom is not a random thing. It does not appear in are put together. What does that tell us? It tells us that someone's life by accident. words are powerful and they People that live in the Wisdom of God do so purposely. are active well after they
have been spoken. Notice that pleasant words have the power to penetrate the soul and body. The word soul here means your mind, intellect, and emotions. So words can produce a peaceful mind and a healthy body. I truly believe that Christians throughout the ages have underestimated the power that God has reserved in their mouth. Proverbs 18:21 says, "Death and Life are in the POWER OF THE TONGUE and those that love it shall eat the fruit of it." Notice that power is associated with the tongue or the words that we speak. Our words have the power to create good and evil in our lives. In the original language the word
Church on the rock, Continued from page 11 The Kibbes say that starting Church on the Rock was not part of a long-term plan but resulted after Doug returned from a mission trip in Uganda in April of this year. A Sinclairville native, Kibbe studied at Oral Roberts University and served in large churches in Texas and Oklahoma where he and Chris resided before returning to the area in 2005, when Doug filled the role of Pastor of Discipleship at Bemus Point United Methodist Church. After leaving that position, he waited on God for his next assignment, noting that starting a new church is not typical for most pastors his age (55). A pastor in the middle of Uganda would provide inspiration when he
asked Doug to look at a building where over 100 children were being educated and taught about their faith. Kibbe states, “this ‘building’ he was talking about was nothing but sticks and mud and thatch, with no floor.” “At that moment, I was so humbled, and I heard God whisper in my heart, ‘Look what these people are doing with nothing; why won’t you trust me, and believe that I will take care of you if you step out and start something.’ ” Returning home to New York he was surprised to discover that Chris, a Texas native, also had a similar nudging from God. Once the decision for Church on the Rock was made, the Kibbes
formed a leadership team of five couples, focusing on using the unique gifts of their leaders and members to fulfill its mission. Only then did the motivation to start this new church become clear to them: Jamestown, the All-American city that Doug grew up knowing with a population of 40,000 was not the one he returned to. With fewer industries and fewer jobs available, there are more people and families “under resourced” and in need. “As a result, we’ve seen more and more dysfunctional families and significant increases in the sale and usage of illegal drugs. Our area is hurting, and we feel this is where Jesus would be. He wasn’t about person-
"power" means the open hand of God. Many people believe that God's hand is closed towards us and He is withholding blessings from us. Psalm 84:11 says, "...no good thing will He (God) withhold from them that walk uprightly." We don't have to pry God's fingers off from our blessings! God wants to give good things to us! Many times we go without the blessings because we are not talking right! It's hard to imagine how our lips can cause the Heavenly Father to move on our behalf. You need to see this in the Bible for yourself. Numbers 14:28 says, "...as truly as I live says the Lord, AS YOU HAVE SPOKEN in my ears so I will do to you."
al comfort; he was about compassion and commitment to those that needed help, encouragement and restoration.” Kibbe said rather than complain about the problems, he wanted to be part of the solution. “We figure, with God’s help, we can do that...one person at a time.” Building relational bridges, modeling Christ-like behavior, and helping people with legitimate needs, he says, will accomplish that. “We will continue to love on folks who feel that they are on the periphery, who feel disconnected or rejected. That’s what Jesus did. It’s not a quick and easy way to grow a church, but it is what’s important and needed.” Church on the Rock
God promised the Israelites that He would do whatever He heard from their mouths. God told Joshua that the way to success was to keep speaking the Word of God with his own mouth. ( Joshua 1:8) The Lord said this in Isaiah 57:19, "I CREATE the fruit of the lips..." God here is talking about the lips of a person not His own lips. Jesus Himself said that what comes out of your mouth is what you will live. (Mark 11:23) We cannot neglect this powerful truth any longer. Our lives are the sum of what we've been talking; nothing more, nothing less. Proverbs 21:23 says, "Whosoever guards his mouth and tongue guards his soul from troubles." Oh, if we would just listen to wisdom!

French and Spanish Adolescence Education Programs Achieve National Recognition Status
Contributed Article Fredonia
The Department of World Languages and Cultures’ French and Spanish adolescence education programs at the State University of New York at Fredonia have recently achieved National Recognition status through the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) and the National Council for Ac-
creditation of Teacher Education (NCATE), currently being replaced by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP). In addition, some high quality assessments designed and implemented by Kate Douglass, program coordinator for French and Spanish adolescence education, have been selected for use as examples for ACTFL reviewer training. They will be used as a model for other programs across the country to follow.
In order to maintain accreditation, the French and Spanish adolescence education programs have to submit regular reports consisting of assessments, data, rubrics and narratives to an accrediting body. According to Dr. Douglass, achieving National Recognition status means that one’s program is fully accredited, which, in the field of foreign language teacher preparation, can be quite difficult to achieve. “It is a very big honor for our pro-
gram to be one of the few programs in the nation to have achieved this status,” said Douglass. According to the Department of World Languages and Cultures’ website, the Adolescence Education Certification program focuses on providing courses for foreign language teaching methods and a field assignment to teach in secondary education.

5 Tips for Buying a Car as a Holiday Gift Contributed Article
GREAT FOOD. GREAT FUN. GREAT PRICES!
Auto Trader
Can you really give a car as a surprise holiday gift? Absolutely -- and many people do it every year. Before you go out in search of a new car to surprise a loved one, though, you’ll want to check our list of tips first, because buying a car as a holiday gift isn’t always as simple as signing on the dotted line and ordering a huge bow for the roof. 1. Make Sure It’s the Right Car Imagine buying a new car as a surprise for a family member, only to find out that you’ve selected the wrong vehicle. Worse, imagine surprising someone with a car only to discover that it doesn’t meet their needs: too big, inefficient or difficult to see out of, for example. To avoid these issues, we suggest talking to the person receiving the surprise to verify that it’s exactly what they want, rather than springing it on them completely unexpectedly. 2. Do You Need to Finance? If the car is for a significant other and you need to finance it, a surprise might be out of the question -- especially if you’ll both need to be listed on loan documents and paper work. Don’t be dismayed, though: Explain your
• Best Kid’s Menu in Chautauqua County
10450 Bennett Road (Route 60) Fredonia, New York 716-679-1116 situation to the dealer, and they may help you carry out your surprise, insisting only that you come in shortly after the surprise to finalize all the paper work. 3. Consider Registration and Titling Similar to our point with financing, you’ll want to consider exactly how you want to register and title a surprise vehicle. If you’re buying a car for a family member, you’ll probably want that car registered in their name, but if it’s a surprise, they won’t be present to sign the papers. Once again, you might have to work with the dealer to solve this issue so that you can deliver the surprise before all the paper work is completed. 4. Tell the Dealer It’s a Surprise If you’re buying a car as a surprise, it’s important to let the dealer know that you’re doing it. One reason is obvious: so they don’t call your home to follow up on your purchase, potentially alerting a significant other to the car’s existence. You’ll
also want to work with the dealer because it’s likely that they’ve done a surprise car deal before, so they might have additional expertise on the subject. Specifically, the dealer may be willing to hold the car until the surprise date, work with you on registration or financing issues, or even order a huge bow for the big moment. 5. Order It Far in Advance If you’re ordering a car to meet the needs and desires of your loved one, rather than buying one off the dealership’s lot, you’ll want to do it far in advance. Like any item, cars can get delayed, and you’ll want to be sure that you have a lot of breathing room between the date of your surprise and your car’s projected delivery date in case something goes awry.

CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, DECEMBER 19, 2014
The Nutcracker, continued from page 16 “But we’re most excited to be kicking the series off with the traditional holiday favorite, The Nutcracker!” In The Nutcracker, it’s Christmas Eve, and Marie’s godfather, Drosselmeyer, gives her a strange toy – a wooden nutcracker carved in the shape of a little man. At midnight, when the celebrations are over, all the toys magically come to life. The nutcracker grows to human size and takes charge of the tin soldiers, flying to the rescue of Marie, who is threatened by the Mouse King and his mouse army. Based on E. T. A. Hoffmann’s story, The Nutcracker is one of the greatest classics in the world. With iconic music by Tchaikovsky, and enchanting sets and costumes, this beautiful tale explores the universal themes of love, power and evil. This choreographic version, created for the Bolshoi by Yuri Grigorovich, is full of romanticism and philosophical reflections on ideal love. Masterfully interpreted by the Bolshoi dancers, it will enchant the whole family for the festive season, proving that one is never too young or too old to be swept away by The Nutcracker. Individual tickets to each of the four ballets are $20, ($18 Opera House members, $15 students, $10 children 12 & under). Tickets may be purchased in person at the Opera
House Box Office or by phone at 716-679-1891, Tuesday-Friday, 1-5 p.m. Tickets may be purchased online anytime at www.fredopera. org. The Bolshoi Ballet broadcasts are made possible by Dr. James M. and Marcia Merrins, who funded the purchase of the satellite
transmission and projection equipment used in the series. The 1891 Fredonia Opera House is a member-supported notfor-profit organization located in Village Hall in downtown Fredonia. For a complete schedule of events, visit www. fredopera.org.

When to Seek Emergency treatment Brad Buege, DO Emergency Physician Westfield Memorial Hospital
T= Time If you observe any of these signs, it’s time to call 9-1-1. Head Trauma or loss of consciousness Go to the ER if you received a blow to the head that results in a loss of consciousness, a seizure, or vomiting. Symptoms of a head injury can occur right away or they may even develop slowly over several hours or even days. A head injury does not require a fractured skull. The brain can bang against the inside of the skull and be bruised causing bleeding or swelling inside the skull. If you lose consciousness or faint it could also signal a heart or circulation problem or even a stroke. There is no way to determine this without a physician intervention. Broken bones A broken bone, or fracture, happens when excessive force applied to your bone causes it to break or shatter. Some fractures break the bone completely, while others just cause a crack in the bone. It’s just as important to diagnose a fracture because broken bones can heal by themselves and a physician should ensure that the bones are lined up correctly to recover fully. Look for symptoms including pain, swelling, bruising, deformity and inability to use the limb. Bleeding If you experience excessive bleeding or bleeding that doesn’t stop when you apply pressure for 10 to 20 minutes then you should seek emergency care. A bleeding disorder is a condition that affects the way your blood normally clots. When you get injured, your blood normally begins to clot to prevent a massive loss of blood. If that doesn’t happen, it’s important to seek emergency treatment. Serious burns There are three degrees of burns
When an emergency strikes, you need medical care and you need it fast. But sometimes it’s hard to tell if it’s an illness or injury that should have you rushing to the ER. The answer may not always be simple - but there are times when it’s better to be safe than sorry. Heart attack symptoms If you have any symptom that could be considered a heart attack, it is important to get to the emergency room for life saving treatment. Minutes count in a heart attack. Women are less likely to have the stereotypical chest, left arm, or jaw pain, so you should also look for other symptoms such as shortness of breath; sudden dizziness, weakness, or nausea; or unexplained sweating and fatigue. Heart attack symptoms are often ignored as indigestion or an annoying pain. However, these symptoms can lead to a deadly outcome if not checked by a physician. Stroke Stroke is the fourth leading cause of death and a leading cause of serious, long-term adult disability in the US. Stroke can happen to anyone - at any time - regardless of race, sex or age. Yet stroke is one of the most preventable of all life-threatening health problems. Recognizing stroke symptoms can be easy if you remember to think FAST. F= Face Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop? A= Arms Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward? S= Speech Ask the person to repeat a simple phrase. Does the speech sound slurred or strange?

and the degrees are determined by the extent of damage to the body tissue. For major burns immediate medical care is necessary. In the meantime, here are steps to follow while getting to the emergency department. • Make sure the victim is no longer in contact with smoldering materials or exposed to smoke or heat, but do not remove the burned clothing if possible. • Don't immerse severe burns in cold water because it could cause a drop in body temperature and deterioration of blood pressure and shock. • Elevate the burned body part, if possible, above heart level. • Cover the area of the burn with a cool, moist, sterile bandage or clean, moist cloth. Vomiting Nausea and vomiting can usually be treated at home, but excessive vomiting can be a sign of a more serious illness such as concussion, meningitis, intestinal blockage, appendicitis or brain tumors. Another side effect of excessive vomiting is dehydration. Look for increased thirst, dry lips and mouth, sunken eyes, rapid breathing or pulse and decreased urination. Emergency departments are an essential part of our health care system. They are there to provide
medical care at any time. If you have a serious condition - stroke, heart attack, severe bleeding, head injury or other major trauma - go straight to the nearest ER. Don't take a chance with anything life-threatening. The ER is the best place for these and other critical conditions, including: And, the best way to get to the ER is to dial 9-1-1 because emergency responders can begin to administer life saving care on the way to the hospital It’s important to be prepared for emergencies by keeping a list of all the medications you take with you including dosages and any over-the-counter medications and vitamins; keeping a list of any allergies, especially to medications; and knowing about past operations or medical procedures can also be helpful to an emergency physician in making an accurate diagnosis. When you have a life-threatening situation, the emergency department is your best and only option. And when in doubt, go. It is always better safe than to be sorry later.

Five Ways your Smartphone Can Help you Get through the Holidays Contributed Article StatePoint
and let Star Printed Graphix handle your Holiday list CUSTOMIZED APPAREL & ACCESSORIES · Screen Printing · Embroidery · Heat Seal ·
AND MUCH MORE!
Place your order for the Holiday season soon to secure the perfect gift for your family, friends & colleagues! Monday - Friday 9:00 A.M. – 5:00 P.M. 4867 West Lake Rd. Dunkirk, NY 14048 716·679·7788 shirlene@starprintedgraphix.com
Millions of Americans find themselves focused on planning the perfect party, juggling a packed social schedule and shopping for the best holiday deals. Nearly seven in 10 smartphone users are “always looking to improve their productivity,” according to the results of a global study on productivity, conducted by BlackBerry. Don’t make the mistake of underestimating your smartphone -- it can and should be more than just a way to text or email. It can be your secret weapon to sanity this holiday season. To help, the experts at BlackBerry are sharing five savvy tips for using your smartphone to drive productivity during this busy season. Find Deals Ensure you’re getting the best deals on holiday shopping. Activate the geolocation feature on your smartphone. Many brick-and-mortar retailers will be pushing special holiday discounts and offers to consumers shopping nearby or who have “checked in.” Additionally, apps such as Flipp allow you to browse the flyers and weekly ads of your favorite stores, highlight the best deals and clip items straight to your shopping list so you never miss out on a holiday sale. The holidays can also mean a hectic travel season -- use travel apps to search hotels, find fl ights deals and track your itineraries. Set Reminders Creating reminders is a seamless way to stay on top of day-to-day tasks that seem to double during the holidays. With apps such as SlickTasks you can boost productivity instantly and focus on what needs to get done by creating and sorting tasks. You can then build-in reminders for each and easily keep track of what needs to get done.
Bring Along Your Personal Assistant Most smartphones are equipped with voice recognition technology, allowing you to jot down notes, search the Web, add calendar updates, place calls and send messages, without typing. These “assistants” can prove highly useful during the holiday season. Driving from store to store looking for the perfect gift? BlackBerry Assistant can be activated via Bluetooth and can detect when you’re in the car and therefore unable to type. The assistant will take action based on your voice commands, helping you multi-task on-the-go. Don’t Be Camera Shy Smartphone camera technology has vastly improved over the past few years. For example, the new BlackBerry Passport has a 13-megapixel camera and is capable of taking the same high-quality photos as a traditional point and shoot camera. With just the click of a button, and the help of photo editing tools like Photo Studio, you can take beautiful photos of the holiday party and share instantly with family and friends across social networks. Protect Yourself Thieves are working overtime during the holidays. When it comes to your smartphone, make sure all security features are enabled. This includes password protection, as well as activating app permissions, particularly on your banking apps. For BlackBerry users, apps such as BlackBerry Protect will safeguard users in the case of a lost or stolen phone by allowing users to remotely lock, locate or wipe their smartphone, ensuring sensitive information remains out of reach from potential thieves. With the right tech tools and strategies, you can get your to-dos done in record time this holiday season.

more than two-thirds of people will lose trust in a brand if they get lost walking or driving to a location because of an incorrect address listing. In fact, 71 percent of customers will go to a competitor while en route to their intended location, according to Placeable data. No shopper wants to be lost at the mall, which is more likely to happen when you’re searching for a store you wouldn’t normally visit or you’re shopping while out of town, another seasonal trend.

catch onto the importance of this trend, consumers can expect that their online searches for a particular retailer will trend less toward an online directory listing (with potentially obsolete information) and more directly toward a retailer’s locally tailored website. This will mean more useful, real-time information at the fingertips of consumers -- such as in-store promotions, extended hours and other local marketing efforts. Brands that keep up with the digital trends and adopt data crunching tools, such as marketing automation, will be better prepared to handle the increasing demands of consumers looking for more targeted information in the years to come. The holiday season is a great time to notice how these changes affect your shopping experience.

Sabres Trip Up In Winnipeg, 5-1 Contributed Article Associated Press
Mark Scheifele laughed as he described how his Winnipeg Jets teammates tried to help him complete a hat trick Tuesday night. Instead, the second-year center finished with two goals and an assist as the Jets halted the Buffalo Sabres' four-game winning streak with a 5-1 victory. ''I know (Mathieu Perreault), I think every time he had the puck he was looking around, looking for me, so it was pretty funny,'' Scheifele said.

Commentary: Remembering Why I Prefer Baseball By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
I don’t go to many professional football games. There are many reasons for this, but No. 1 is probably that, given what I do for a living, I can get way more out of a Sunday afternoon by flipping back and forth through games and watching halftime shows, etc. than I do by watching two teams duke it out in person. But of course, being a Packers fan that watches and writes about the Bills, there was no way that I was missing last Sunday’s game at Ralph Wilson Stadium. My sister was able to get two tickets through her office, so that certainly helped make the experience more enjoyable as my wallet didn’t get any lighter to get my ticket. Our seats were also quite good — Section 131, Row 15. Not too shabby. I rode up with some friends that also had tickets all over the stadium. A handful of us were wearing Packers hoodies, but as a rough estimate, about 30 percent of the stadium on Sunday was Packers fans. I wasn’t at all surprised by this as I talked about it all week leading up to the game. Except for maybe the Steelers, Packers fans fill opposing stadiums better than any other team’s fan base. Almost as soon as we got out of the car, my experience started to sour. The overwhelming scent of marijuana filled the air. It wasn’t just the group directly next to us either. There were multiple pockets of pot-smoking losers contaminating the parking lot we were in. I’m not out to be the morality police, but can’t you gutter dwellers do that in your own homes? It wasn’t just the nauseating odor, but these high-as-a-kite pieces of trash were loud, obnoxious and rude. Tailgating is supposed to be as fun as the game itself, but these pockets devoid of brain cells did their best to ruin the whole experience. Luckily, we had good food and good friends to combat that selfishness. Inside the stadium, the number of people that were totally drunk out of their skulls was mind blowing. Is this really what people do with their lives? The people I was behind in the line to get into the stadium could barely stand up. Maybe I just don’t get it, but that’s certainly nothing I’ve ever experienced at a Major League Baseball game. Do you know what else I’ve never seen at an MLB game? The pure hate and borderline evil that spewed from the mouths of some of these “fans” of football. Listen, when the Bills play

the Patriots, Jets or Dolphins, I can understand a bit of hatred towards the opposing players. Yelling obscenities at Tom Brady is something I wouldn’t bat an eye at. But calling (over and over throughout the entire game) for Bills players to “break Cobb’s (bleeping) neck” seems a little harsh. First off, and it shouldn’t have to be said, but he’s a human being for Pete’s sake. Secondly, why would Bills fans hate the Packers even a little bit? If anything, the Packers are like the Bills’ older brother. Small town. Super loyal fan base. Similar weather climates. There’s a reason why I find it so easy to root for both teams. I was able to avoid a lot of the trash-talking, etc. that Bills fans were giving to Packers fans, probably because I was with my sister, but there were a number of Packers fans in my section and a lot of them weren’t so lucky. Yeah, I got sarcastic high fives and the like when the Bills returned the punt for a touchdown, but that’s what you expect when you wear the opposing team’s colors. You don’t expect to have food thrown at you, f-bombs directed your way all game and the game almost certainly ruined for you just from the fans around you. Yet, I’m sure the Packers fans that actually came from Green Bay to see the Bills and Ralph Wilson Stadium are home today telling their friends what awful people Bills fans are. Again, that’s something I’ve never gotten from a
baseball game. In fact, Major League Baseball games are some of the greatest experiences of my life. I’ve gone to Pirates games in Cleveland and Toronto and, if anything, bonded with the Indians and Blue Jays fans around me. We talked baseball, the history of our teams, the future of our teams. I just always enjoy talking sports with competent people. The last Pirates game I went to in Pittsburgh, there were three Washington Nationals fans that drove up to see the Nats because they heard how amazing PNC Park was. It was an awesome backand-forth game and it was fun ribbing each other when our teams did something good on the field, but everyone involved knew how good-natured the other meant it to be. There were certainly no personal attacks, obscenities, drunkenness, etc. involved. Not only that, but a baseball game is such a better environment to actually talk to the people that you went to the game with. I rarely see my sister lately, so I was super excited to spend fourplus hours with her, but we could barely have a conversation except at halftime. My best friend from high school came down from his section and sat with us during the third quarter and it was awesome to see him, but impossible to actually talk to him. Continued on pg 26

Sabres fall to Jets, continued from page 24 over at the bench and they're like, 'stay, stay,' so it was pretty cool.'' The goals were Scheifele's fifth and sixth of the season. It was also his second career three-point game. He had a goal and two assists in last week's 4-3 overtime loss to Colorado. Michael Frolik and Evander Kane each had a goal and an assist for Winnipeg, and Chris Thorburn also scored. Frolik's goal was shorthanded; Kane scored on the power play. Jets goalie Ondrej Pavelec made 27 saves in his 300th career start as Winnipeg outshot the Sabres 36-28. Buffalo, which got a powerplay goal from defenseman Nikita Zadorov, was coming off a 5-4 shootout win at home over the Ottawa Senators on Monday night. Michal Neuvirth stopped 31 shots for the Sabres. ''We just made too many mistakes,'' Buffalo captain Brian Gionta said. ''We hurt ourselves tonight, whether it's odd-man rushes or giveaways that lead to those chances. We hurt ourselves. ''Clearly, that's what you want to limit. You give teams in this league that
many chances, they're going to make you pay.'' The win was the first for the Jets on their four-game homestand. They lost 4-1 to Anaheim on Saturday and will host Boston on Friday and Philadelphia on Sunday. The Jets pulled out the victory on the same day coach Paul Maurice announced at the morning skate that second-year defenseman Jacob Trouba is out until February with an undisclosed upperbody injury. Maurice said it was a ''preexisting condition,'' but wasn't related to the neck injury Trouba sustained last season. While Trouba was taken off the roster, defenseman Grant Clitsome went back on after missing five games with an upper-body injury. He assisted on Scheifele's first goal. Winnipeg is still without defensemen Tobias Enstrom and Zach Bogosian, so forward Dustin Byfuglien has been moved back to the blue line to help out. Pavelec is impressed with the way the team is responding. ''You have to battle through those injuries and we are able to do it, so you're really
happy,'' Pavelec said. Sabres coach Ted Nolan was asked if his club looked tired midway through the game. ''Maybe not physically, but mentally,'' Nolan said. ''We just made a couple of crucial mistakes at bad times. ''I liked our first period, and then all of a sudden a couple of big mistakes and we had to play catch-up the rest of the game.'' Buffalo scored the only goal in the first period, but Winnipeg responded with three in less than five minutes in the second to take a 3-1 lead heading into the third. The Sabres didn't manage their first shot on net until 10:32 into the game before getting three power-play opportunities in the first period. Buffalo made good on a scoring chance with 44 seconds left in the period. With forward Blake Wheeler in the penalty box for slashing, Zadorov's shot from the bottom of the circle got past Pavelec, who had Sabres wing Chris Stewart in front of him. Scheifele's first goal was scored at 9:31 as Zadorov left the penalty box for delay of game.

(AP Photo/The Canadian Press, John Woods)
Buffalo turned over the puck and 11 seconds later Jets defenseman Jim Slater made a pass across the front of the net to Frolik, who also sent a high shot past Neuvirth for his seventh goal of the season. Perreault set up Scheifele's second goal when he made a pass through Buffalo defenseman Tyson Strachan's feet, and Scheifele scored at 14:17 for a 3-1 lead. The assist extended Perreault's point streak to five games, with one goal and four assists. Winnipeg carried a power
play into the third period from Andre Benoit's slashing penalty and it led to Kane's fifth goal of the season at 1:11, with Wheeler and Scheifele getting assists. Thorburn took a rebound from teammate Anthony Peluso's shot and sent a backhand past Neuvirth at 12:39. NOTES: Sabres center Mikhail Grigorenko made his season debut. The 20-year-old Russian was Buffalo's first pick (12th overall) in the 2012 NHL entry draft.
Sports Commentary, continued from page 25 In case you’re wondering, no, I’m not just bitter about the Packers losing. It was surprising, but not shocking. Upsets happen all the time in the NFL, especially on the road. The Packers are 7-0 at home and 3-4 on the road. Plus the Bills are a decent football team. It’s not like Green Bay lost to Oakland or something. There’s no shame in losing to the Bills. But of course, by the time I got back to the car I had about a dozen text messages from friends eager to get a friendly shot in. After the game, we had to just wait around for about an hour before we could even bother getting in our car. Traffic up there is beyond horrible. You get that at just about every sporting
event, but I guess I’m spoiled because I found a parking garage that lets me get right back onto the highway after Pirates games, so I never have to sit around like that. And yes, the tokers were back at it after the game as well. When I got home, my wife said I smelled really weird. Well, clearly it was the putrid scent of pot that stuck to my clothes. I told the guys I rode with that it’s a good thing we didn’t get pulled over. That would have been hard to explain. So, to recap: I’ve been to far more MLB games than NFL but never ran into pot-smoking jerks like I did on Sunday. I had to listen to constant
profanities all game. I couldn’t talk with either my sister or my good friend that I see maybe three times a year. I could only watch one game on Sunday because it was so late by the time we got home. There was borderline freezing rain at times — you don’t get that at a regular season Pirates game in July. I smelled like marijuana when I got home. The Packers played their worst game in years. Yeah, give me baseball 10 times out of 10. Stefan Gestwicki is the sports editor of the Chautauqua Star.

it count as an ‘era’ yet when Manziel plays one of the worst games of any quarterback ever? Zero points? Well done, Johnny. The Panthers are actually right in this thing in the putrid NFC South. With a win here, they’ll enter Week 17 with a chance to make the playoffs, regardless of what happens in the big Saints-Falcons game. How come no one is talking about how this team plays better when Cam Newton isn’t its quarterback? Somehow I don’t think that that’s a coincidence. Newton was throwing a ball, but his status was still unclear as of Tuesday afternoon. The Browns now have to just hope that Manziel is better than what he showed on Sunday. Listen, I’m not going to pile on. I can’t even pretend to know what it would be like to make your first NFL start in the middle of a playoff race. It’s almost an
unfair situation to put the rookie in. But that doesn’t change the fact that he was mighty terrible. Perhaps he’ll be more comfortable knowing he’s the starter now. Or maybe not. PICK VS. SPREAD: Browns (+4). STRAIGHT PICK: Panthers.
and the results showed. Harry Douglas stepped up with some good plays, but the absence of a game-breaker like Jones was notable. If Jones is back, he should be in for a big game against a terrible Saints pass defense.

up, but for the Patriots, that’s almost a given at this point. There are bigger goals in mind for this team. The Jets won last week, but all that accomplished was hurting their draft position. But as I’ve written in the past, the Jets are a franchise with a history of blowing their draft picks anyway, so perhaps it doesn’t really matter. This is the Jets’ final home game of the season, but fans will probably be happy to see the team go. This has been a brutal season marred by terrible quarterbacks and the probable firing of Rex Ryan.

The Bills have officially inserted themselves into the playoff discussion and probably become that team that no other playoff team wants to see on the schedule. After giving the Broncos all they could handle and then knocking off the previously red-hot Packers, the Bills are looking a lot like those Giants teams that snuck into the playoffs and made a run to the Lombardi Trophy. Now let’s be real, here. I root for the Bills. I like the Bills. I’d personally be thrilled beyond words if the Bills could make the playoffs. But this is a team that has scored two meaningful offensive touchdowns against teams besides the Jets since Week 7’s last second win against the Vikings. Chris Hogan had touchdowns against Cleveland and Kansas City. That’s it. None against Miami. None against Denver (there was one meaningless last-minute touchdown). None against Green Bay. Defense is great, but eventually you have to put the ball into the end zone. The Bills actually have a minus-7 point differential if you take away the two games
against the putrid Jets. Luckily, this game is against another team that’s very much like the Jets. In other words, trash. Oakland has two wins, which is certainly more than I thought they’d earn this season. Sure, they might be dead last in the NFL with a minus-168 point differential. Sure, they’ve given up more points than every team besides the Bears. Sure, they’ve scored fewer points than every team but the Jaguars. But no one can take away those two wins. PICK VS. SPREAD: Raiders (+6). STRAIGHT PICK: Bills. INDIANAPOLIS COLTS (10-4) at DALLAS COWBOYS (10-4) This game is kind of flying under the radar in terms of playoff seeding importance, but a win combined with some help, could be huge for one of these two teams.

He primarily carries the ball in this right hand, so that shouldn’t be the biggest deal in the world, but there’s a lot more that running backs have to do than carry the ball. Should Murray play (which isn’t a given), how will that hand hold up when he’s trying to block a blitzing safety? If Dallas brings in another back for passing plays, will that give away the Cowboys’ game plan? One player like Murray can mean an awful lot to a team. Indy still has an outside shot at a first-round bye, though it would take some help. Right now, the Colts should probably just concentrate on holding off the AFC North teams for that No. 3 seed. If anything else happens, great, but it’s out of their control. Both teams earned big wins over division rivals last week and will look to build on that momentum. All four of the Cowboys’ losses have come at home. It’s a strange stat, but it can’t be considered a coincidence at this point. PICK VS. SPREAD: Colts (+3). STRAIGHT PICK: Colts.
SEATTLE SEAHAWKS (10-4) at ARIZONA CARDINALS (11-3) After losing two in a row, the Cardinals clinched a playoff spot by following that skid with a two-game winning streak. That has led Arizona to the franchise’s biggest regular season game probably ever. With a win, the Cardinals clinch the division. That seemed almost impossible at the start of the season when everyone was arguing for Seattle or San Francisco. But alas, here we are. I can’t say that I’ve ever seen the top seed in a conference being a nine-point underdog at home. Especially when that team is 7-0 at home with a defense that’s tailor made to stop the opposing offense. Seattle boasts the top rushing offense in the NFL thanks to Marshawn Lynch and quarterback Russell Wilson. But Arizona is 6th in the NFL and allows just 90 rushing yards per game. The Cardinals can be thrown on, but Wilson and the Seahawks are the league’s 31st ranked passing attack. Seattle
has scored more than 20 points just once in its last five games. But the Seahawks once again have the league’s top defense in nearly every category. Combine that with the fact that the Cardinals have one of the worst offenses ever assembled and you’ll probably get a very lowscoring game. I’m not sure if this one got flexed to prime time or if it was originally scheduled for Sunday night, but I’m glad it’ll be nationally televised. PICK VS. SPREAD: Cardinals (+9). STRAIGHT PICK: Seahawks. DENVER BRONCOS (11-3) at CINCINNATI BENGALS (9-4-1) I’d like to think that over the year, I’ve learned a little something about the NFL. Some things are just known to be true. The Bills will always lose to the Patriots. Eli Manning will always throw interceptions in bunches. Jay Cutler will always look like his mom took away his Playstation time. And the Bengals will always choke in a prime time game. There’s just too much evidence to support that fact at this point.
Peyton Manning was sick as a dog last week and still led his team to a big win over a division rival to clinch the AFC West. Shocking. This week, he’ll probably have to be at the top of his game against a defense that just mopped the floor with Johnny Manziel and the Browns. This is a game that
features some of the top offensive weapons in the league. A.J. Green and DeMaryius Thomas are the easy picks, but Ben- gals rookie running back Jeremy Hill has been outstandings these last five weeks or so. Likewise, Denver’s C.J. Anderson has been a pleasant surprise and a dominating force for the Broncos out of the backfield. He found the end
zone three times against the Bills two weeks ago. Maybe being at home will help, but this line couldn’t be big enough for my taste. The Bengals are just trash in big games. PICK VS. SPREAD: Broncos (-3.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Broncos. Enjoy this week’s game everyone.

u.S. Baseball Academy Returns to Jamestown Contributed Article
U.S. Baseball Academy U.S. Baseball Academy, which operates a national network of affordable hitting, pitching, catching, fielding and baserunning camps for players in grades 1 through 12, is pleased to announce the return of Jamestown CC to its lineup for the coming winter and spring. Registration is now under way at www.USBaseballAcademy.com. U.S. Baseball Academy's Spring Training 2015 provides young players with advanced hitting, pitching, catching, fielding and baserunning training programs with instruction by the area's top coaches at the area’s top facilities. Players who choose multiple skills qualify for discounted session prices. U.S. Baseball Academy's 2015 Spring Training program will be held at nearly 220 sites across the United States. The session in Jamestown runs January 18-February 8 at Jamestown CC. Jamestown CC head coach, Dick Adams, will direct the program. Instructors will include a staff of the area’s best coaches. With a player-coach ratio of 6:1, each player gets plenty of individual attention in a small-group atmosphere. In addition to unbeatable instruction by the area's best coaches, players get a preseason tune-up that helps them enter team practice in midseason 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 participatiwng 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 playercoach 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.
