Chautauqua County Clerk Sandy Sopak is proud to roll out the new Return The Favor program which provides a photo identification card, free of charge, certifying that the individual is an honorably discharged veteran and has filed their original discharge paperwork with the Chautauqua County Clerk’s office. The card will then be able to be used at participating area businesses who have agreed to offer a discount or benefit to the veteran who presents the card. “This is a wonderful program for our military veterans,” said Sopak. “This is a great way for our community to say ‘thank you for your service and sacrifice’ by offering them discounts and benefits from area businesses.” Veterans may enroll in the program by contacting Deputy County Clerk Tracie Kaminski Haskin at 753-4977 to make an appointment. “All the veteran needs is to have his or her DD214 mili-
tary discharge papers on file with our office. If they’re not already filed, they can bring them to the appointment and we’ll file them then, take their picture and provide them with the Return The Favor card all in one visit,” said Kaminski Haskin. “We currently have just under 40 businesses who have agreed to offer a discount, but we’re still looking for more.” A list of participating businesses is available on the county clerk’s website at www.co.chautauqua.ny.us/ departments/clerk. Businesses wishing to become a partnering sponsor may visit the county clerk’s website for complete information and a merchant partner agreement form or contact the deputy county clerk. Information is also available on the Chautauqua County Clerk Facebook page. Veterans who have lost their discharge papers may contact the Chautauqua County Veterans Services Agency at 661-8255 in Jamestown or 363-3842 in Dunkirk for assistance in obtaining a duplicate copy.

New Clinic Teaches Seniors Strategies to Enhance Wellness, Improve Balance Contributed Article TLC Health Network
Officials at Brooks Memorial Hospital in Dunkirk are announcing that registration is under way for a new session of its clinic that focuses on improving balance and posture for seniors. The 10-week program, “Brooks Balance Clinic: Staying Balanced Throughout Your Life,” will start Tues., Jan. 8, 2013 at Noon in the Physical Therapy Department at Brooks Memorial Hospital. The program will be held twice weekly from Noon to 1 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Cost is $11 per session and does not require a doctor’s referral. According to organizers Linda Courtney, Director of Physical Therapy and Tammy Kiszak, Physical Therapist, the program is open to senior citizens interested in learning strategies for staying balanced, improving control of posture and reducing the risk of falls. “Contrary to what some people believe, falls and broken bones are not a normal part of the aging process.” Ms. Courtney said. “These problems can often be avoided with the right tools and activities.” The program is designed to enhance a person’s flexibility, strength and balance through specific functional movements. Described as a fun, wellness program, the Balance Clinic includes telephone follow-up after one, two and six months after completion of the program to check on the home progress of participants. “It’s important to encourage them to keep active in their daily lives with the exercise program materials that they
take home,” Ms. Kiszak noted. Those interested in enrolling in the program must be able to walk with or without an assistive device independently and be able to follow course instructions. Participants are asked to wear sneakers and workout apparel. For those seniors who are not appropriate for the Balance Clinic, there is always the option of obtaining a referral from their physician and being seen as a traditional outpatient. For more information or to register, call the Physical Therapy Department at 716-363-3092. Brooks Memorial Hospital is located at 529 Central Avenue in Dunkirk. The hospital is an affiliate of Lake Erie Regional Health System of New York.
How to Reinvent Yourself at Any Age StatePoint With the technological and cultural landscape in flux, many professional fields are undergoing rapid changes. Continually challenging yourself can help you achieve success, keeping you relevant as your chosen profession moves with the times. Long gone are the days when most Americans start a job and toil at the same workplace -- or even in the same profession -- until they receive that gold watch on retirement day. More Americans are now striving to live a life like that of Warren Adler, a self-made novelist and founder of a new business at the not-soold age of 84. For Adler and others like him, life is about embracing what’s new and jumping into new challenges. Back in the days following World War II, he was a reporter for the Armed Forces
Press Service, covering the Truman White House. He then launched the Washington Dossier magazine with his wife and son, started a public relations firm and then, mid-career, became a successful novelist at the age of 45. Fast-forward almost 40 years to 2012, and he has 33 books under his belt and is the successful founder of a publishing company that is a leader in embracing the electronic book revolution. In 2011, his company, Stonehouse Productions, released five e-books simultaneously in an exclusive with Amazon. No matter the profession, industry leaders are the ones who can foresee future game changers and are willing to reinvent themselves at different points in their careers. It’s all about being able to see around corners. And those who remain rooted in tradition may struggle.
New technologies have left little room for old business models -- and workers who don’t embrace new ways -- to succeed. “If the publishing world did not see the move to cyberspace coming they were fools and are now paying the price,” says Adler, who authored the classic “The War of the Roses,” amongst other books that have gone on to become major Hollywood movies and television programs. “I predicted when I first introduced the Sony Reader in 2007 that the number of stores selling printed books would shrink in years to come.” Adler’s personal tale illustrates it is possible to make regular creative contributions to one’s field while helping to shape its direction. Such juggling, he says, is necessary in businesses growing ever more competitive because of
the Internet. With over 50,000 books published weekly in America, even renowned authors are facing steep competition. “The Serpent’s Bite,” Adler’s newest thriller about family dysfunction, will need to stand out if it is to get discovered. Readers can learn more about the new book at www.WarrenAdler.com. He also has free downloads of his entire blacklist available at the site. “It is hard to get heard and discovered amid less shelf space, short promotional spans and an avalanche of competition on the Internet,” he says. “If you want to get noticed, bang the drum as loud as you can.” Whether you’re starting a new business or reinventing an old one, survival today means taking exponential leaps, making a splash and staying ahead of trends.

will try to find some place warm to stay for the night. Sometimes they will go to rescue missions, or women and children may go to the Salvation Army. There are definitely more than we care to think about.” Volunteers Making the ministry possible are close to 100 volunteers at the center who cook, bus, prep food and do whatever is needed. Many are retired and want to give back to the community, says Hooper, so they come down one or two days a week. “We’ve got a fantastic group of volunteers, they are all hard working.” She also credits the dining room manager, Sandra Wright, who is on staff five days a week. “She knows all the guests by name and will talk to them.” This time of year, The Center receives donations of scarves, hats and mittens, and Wright makes sure those without receive them. “It makes our guests feel special that someone went out and bought these things for them, especially the kids.” St. Susan’s is located at 31 Water Street in Jamestown and is open seven days a week, Monday through Friday, from 11 a.m.- 4 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 2-4 p.m. It is closed on New Year’s Day, the 4th of July, Memorial Day and Labor Day. St. Susan’s is funded exclusively by donations from individuals, corporations, through grants and by its various fundraising events throughout the year. It is located at 31 Water Street in Jamestown. For more information, or to donate or volunteer, interested persons may call 716-664-2254.
Your Retirement Is Definitely Worth Planning For You’ve heard it said before: Timing is everything. Especially when it comes to starting your Social Security benefits. More than 90% of working Americans are counting on Social Security to replace part of their current incomes when they retire, but the truth is the majority of those already drawing benefits receive permanently reduced amounts due to ill-informed timing decisions. In fact, many Americans fail to take into account the true impact of factors such as age, job status, taxes and marital status when deciding when to start receiving benefits. And that can prove to be a costly mistake. Don’t make the same mistakes other retirees make. It could mean leaving money on the table at atime when you’ll need it most.

As nice as it is to have a candle lit for the season, it is important to always keep it in eye distance; never leave them unattended. If you want to have a candle in the window, make sure to keep all window curtains away and tied back. If it is

Not only will it destroy the tree and all of the family ornaments and gifts underneath, but more impor-

Finally, when it comes to the gifts, why not give a gift that will last more than a few days? Give someone you care about a disaster preparedness kit. A plastic storage box would work great - just fill it with items such as a flashlight, extra batteries, activity books for
kids and adults, blankets, dry socks, gallons of water and a container to keep medicines in, just to name a few items. This gift could possibly help save someone when the unexpected arises.

RELIGION SECTION Catholic Corner Saint Marguerite d’Youville
Foundress of the Sisters of Charity Patron Saint of Difficult Marriages, and Widows Feast Day – December 23 By Shirley-Hilburger Stratton Marguerite d’Youville, the first Canadian to be granted sainthood was born October 15, 1701 in Quebec. She was the eldest of six children and her father died when she was seven years old, leaving the family in poverty. It was through Marguerite’s mother’s skill
in fine embroidery and needlework that the family remained solvent. In 1722, Marguerite married François d’Youville, an irresponsible but charming fur trader. He was an unfaithful husband and a drunk, squandering the family’s fortune and a public disgrace. Four of their six children died. Yet sometime in 1727, Marguerite had a personal experience of God and felt God’s love for her. That grace enabled her to endure François’ lack of interest in her and all
that was dear to her heart. François died in 1730, and Marguerite, having failed to find the beautiful and true in the transient treasures of life, now sought them in God. Marguerite was not a passive person, and the strong active qualities of her character had to be exercised. She prayed, “Accomplish in us the designs of thy mercy.” Marguerite devoted the rest of her life caring for the needs of the poor. To her it was a privilege to visit and console the sick, to beg
for the poor and distribute alms. In 1737 Marguerite and three companions consecrated themselves to the service of the poor. They rented a house as a safe place for the indigent. In 1745 when a fire destroyed the house, Marguerite knelt in the ashes and prayed a thankful Te Deum and promised the poor she would never abandon them. “We shall find another house, never fear, God will provide.”
Two days after the fire, Marguerite and her companions signed a contract, which became the foundation of her religious order, the Sisters of Charity. They adopted a grey habit and were so called the Grey Sisters. After Marguerite’s death in 1771 the Grey Sisters extended her ministry throughout the world. D’Youville College, where my niece Stacey attends, located in Buffalo, NY was founded by the Grey Nuns in 1908 and named for their patron saint Marguerite
d’Youville. It was the first college in western New York to offer a higher degree education for women. Information for this article came from Hands to the Needy: Mother d’Youville, Apostle to the Poor, by Sister Mary Pauline Fitts Shirley Stratton is a retired School Counselor who enjoys reading about the lives of the Saints in her spare time.
devil tried to lure Him into disobedience by tempting Him during His 40-day fast in the wilderness. But Jesus, obedient to God’s plan of redemption, would not give in to temptation (Matthew 4:1-11). For the first time, Satan was confronted by a Man whom he had no authority over. Jesus began to destroy the works of Satan by healing the sick, casting out devils and preaching the Good News of the kingdom (Matthew 9:35). When Jesus gave up His life, Satan
thought he’d won a victory over God. But Jesus’ death paid for the sins of all mankind. When Jesus rose from the dead, He paid the price for man’s redemption and provided a way for man to leave Satan’s kingdom of sin and enter God’s kingdom of grace. Christmas is a celebration of the wonderful birth of Jesus. More importantly, this holiday also represents the beginning of God’s promise of redemption through the birth of His Champion, the Messiah, Jesus Christ.
rest of society. Honor is becoming a lost practice and people have not considered that they are suffering for it. What is honor and how do you practice it? Honor is defined as an attitude that denotes a sense of value. Does your attitude reflect value towards your spouse, boss, or pastor? Have you used your money and time to appreciate these people in your life? If not then you have a shortage of honor which is detrimental to the quality of your life. I am not saying that God will destroy your quality of life; I am saying that when you choose not to participate with honor you hurt your
own life. Honor adds quality to a person and quality to their life. This isn’t as easy as taking a wonder supplement but as you act in honor you will see your life improve. And let’s not forget the ultimate honor we are to bestow: How does your life honor God? Are you at church when the doors are open? Do you tithe? Do you stay away from wrong lifestyles to show honor towards the Lord? Do you pray? Do you praise God in your daily walk? If not you are not living the best life available to you.
Keeping the Faith
Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church Fredonia www.thefamilychurches.org
Dear Pastor, what does Christmas really mean?” With most of the focus on holiday shopping, parties, and family gatherings, it’s easy to understand why the real meaning of Christmas can get lost amongst the wrapping paper and cheese logs. While most people realize that the Holiday is the celebration of the birth of Jesus, I believe that we’re missing the real point of Christmas if we don’t understand the “big picture” of why Jesus was born. This week, I want to share this
with you as a reminder of God’s plan of love and salvation. The birth of Jesus Christ was the arrival of God’s champion whose purpose was to challenge Satan’s domination over the world. When Adam sinned in the Garden of Eden, all of creation became separated from their loving Creator and subject to the tyranny of the devil. We see the effects of this tyranny in the world today: wars, sickness, poverty and death. God, unwilling to see his beloved
creation forever lost, had a solution. In the Book of Genesis (3:15), the Bible tell us that God promised that a day would come when a Messiah, born of a woman, would overcome Satan’s power. When Mary miraculously conceived through the Holy Spirit, God’s champion entered into the world (Matthew 1:20). Satan, seeing this challenge, used Herod’s soldiers to try to kill the baby Jesus (Matthew 2:16). Just before Jesus began His mission, the
Weekly Word
How to Live a Long and Healthy Life
Rev. Tim Stahlman Family Church Jamestown www.thenewfamilychurch.com
Spiritual principles contain the answer to a longer and healthier life. So often people are chasing fad age defying gimmicks and are not tapping into the true power that provides long life. The key to living long is not caring for the human body; the key is to make sure the spirit is healthy first. Yes, it’s true that we need to exercise and have a good diet but we cannot neglect our spirit nature and expect a long and healthy life. Principle # 1 for long life: Live in God’s honor system. Ephesians 6:1-3 says, “Children, obey your parents in the Lord for
this is right. HONOR your father and mother which is the first commandment with promise; that it may BE WELL WITH YOU and that you MAY LIVE LONG ON THE EARTH.” God has a system of honor that He has placed on this Earth. God’s honor system includes all the people that God has put in our lives that have divinely granted authority over us. First we have our parents. Then there is our spouse, boss, elders, and pastors. The level in which we display honor to these people can determine the wellness of life and the length of it. Many people live long
but there is no wellness in life for them because they have never shown honor to the ones over and around them. For those people long life is not a blessing. Many others have a shortened life because they did not live honorable. Parents are raising children today in a manner which is void of teaching them how to honor those above them. Many parents allow their children to speak defiance at them without correction or discipline. Some parents are indifferent about how their child speaks to their teachers and other adults. Parents like that are a liability to their children and the

Driving down Main Street in Eden, a small two-story building stands at attention on the side of the road. To the casual observer, there is nothing remarkable about it. White shingles clothe the construct and the protruding front porch welcomes visitors. However, to the residents of Eden this small building is a proud historic landmark; welcome to the Eden Kazoo Factory, one of the few remaining working museums in the country, and the only metal kazoo factory left in the United States. “The factory itself was built in 1907,” said Karen Smith, the owner of the Kazoo Boutique Gift Shop. “They didn’t start making kazoos here until about 1915. Before that they made some other stovepipes, and some other toys and metal things.” The start of the manufacture of kazoos began with two Georgians: Emil Sorg and Michael McIntyre. Harry Richardson, the owner of this sheet metal workshop in Eden, had a salesman traveling down south. This salesman came into contact with these two men, who, at the time, were manufacturing wooden kazoos but wanted to switch to metal ones. “The salesman said ‘Well I know where there is a great metal factory,’ since they had just opened this in 1907,” said Smith. “So, they brought all that kazoo manufacturing up here, and they have been manufacturing ever since 1915.” All the machines in the building are original, and have been around for 105 years. “The entire factory runs on a 10 horse power electrical motor,” said Smith. “They [the machines] work on a belt and pulley system. They have pretty much stayed making the same types of musical instruments, although they may have changed in size a little bit. But they continue to

make a trumpet, a trombone, a French horn, the originals and a bunch of specialty kazoos. I think it is interesting, they make the specialty kazoos out of using an original kazoo and then adding parts from the other kazoos to make them look like an airplane, a train, a tractor, a racecar and a corn on the cob-that’s the newest one. They also manufacture a 24 karat gold plated kazoo.” The Kazoo Factory has visitors from all over. People from every state plus 24 foreign countries have toured the factory. “We ship all over the world,” said Smith. “Everywhere. We even ship to the countries which manufacture in their own countries. Let’s say China. We’ve had orders from China, India, Brazil, you name it. Everywhere.” The factory began to run full time again this past September. “They [the factory] hires disabled adults, so it makes for a very nice job for everyone,” said Smith. The factory is operated by the Suburban Adult Services, Inc. (SASi). Originally
it was donated to SASi and the Claddaugh Commission. Claddaugh ran the gift shop while SASi ran the rest of the operation. In 2005, Smith, who was a local resident interested in preserving the Kazoo Factory in the community, purchased the shop inventory and business from Claddaugh and leased the second story of her new Kazoo Boutique. In 2006 Claddaugh sold their interest in property to SASi. SASi is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing physically and mentally challenged individuals with programs and services to enable them to lead meaningful lives and be as independent as possible. SASi was established in 1975, and has grown from a small, community-based agency to one of the largest service providers in Western New York. The museum and boutique is closed Sundays and Mondays and is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The museum is open year-round and admission is free. For group tours, contact the Kazoo Boutique at 992-3960 for an appointment.

Just a junior, forward Quinn Lee Yaw has already turned into an important force for Jamestown this year. If Jamestown's frontcourt continues to improve, they'll be the dangerous team many thought they could be this year. (Photo by Anthony Scott)
Chicago, Ill. Still, it’s been a nice start for Jamestown, who already beat a Monsignor Martin team in St. Joe’s and also walloped Williamsville South by 20. Those two teams are a combined 9-0 in the rest of their games this year and Joe’s is considered a top five large school team in WNY. Part of that success has been well documented because of Tommy Campion. The lone senior on Jamestown had a career-high 31 points against St. Joe’s and followed it up with 28 more in an 87-46 win over Orchard Park. But we all know how good Campion is. If Jamestown is going to be successful this year, which probably means a sectional title, they’ll need it from forwards Quinn Lee Yaw and Branden Kellam. Lee Yaw was mired in foul trouble each of his first two games but bounced back with 17 against Orchard Park. “Keeping him out of foul trouble is definitely something we have to work on,” Drake said. “We need him on the floor. He’s played well this year.” And Kellam, just a sophomore, has shown flashes of his athletic prowess. He threw down a big dunk in transition against St. Joe’s and added a few more against Orchard Park. “Branden’s coming along,” Drake said. “He makes some plays that other people can’t make. We have to continue to work to tighten his game up a little bit.” Continued on pg 2

Senior Demitrius Conger recorded his second double-double of the season with a team-leading 15 points and 11 rebounds to pace a well-balanced SBU offensive attack.

St. Bonaventure Sports Information
ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. — The St. Bonaventure women's basketball team (7-6) remained perfect at home this season by routing Kent State (1-9) 79-42 in the second of a three-game home stand for the Brown and White. It was a back-and-forth affair from the get go. Over the first 6:40 the two teams traded baskets, jockeying for control. Kent State took a two point lead, 12-10, with 13:20 to play in the first half but that would be their final lead of the night. CeCe Dixon hit a three at the 11:53 mark to give the Bonnies a 13-12 lead. She would he again from deep on the very next Bonnies possession to make it 16-12. The Brown and White were off and running from there. The Bonnies commenced on a 21-3 run before allowing Kent State to score another field goal. With 1:53 to play in the half, Jamie Hutcheson made the first Kent State field goal since the 13:20 mark. The first half would close with the Bonnies leading 37-21. At the break, Dixon led all scorers with 12 points on 4-8 shooting. Doris Ortega, Emily Michael and Katie Healy each added six. Tamzin Barroilhet paced the Golden Flashes with seven points. The Bonnies blocked a season high seven shots in the first half alone. The previous season high was four blocks in a single game. The second half was all St. Bonaventure. The lead for the Bonnies hovered around 20 until the 7:33 mark when Jordan McGee stole a pass and went coast-to-coast, converted a reverse lay-in and drew the foul. Following the free throw, SBU commenced on a 19-6 run to close out the 37-point victory, their largest margin in a win so far this season.

Red Raiders Welcome Talented Group For United Way Tournament It’s still much too early in the high school basketball season to start making any assumptions, but things probably couldn’t have started better for Ben Drake’s squad. Hoping to amp up their non-league schedule, Jamestown is off to a fine start without breaking much of a sweat. They’ll get another strong test this weekend with three fine teams coming into town for the annual United Way Tournament. “I really think it’s important to play tough, non-league games early in the season,” Drake said after beating St. Joe’s a week ago. “Win or lose, you’re going to learn some things from it and know where you’re at and what you need to work on. That’s something that we always try to do.” Joining Jamestown this year is Fredonia, Bishop Timon and Bennett, the last of which they play in the opening round Friday night. Bennett and Fredonia were here last year but arguably much improved teams this year. Still, the addition of Timon, a private school in South Buffalo, instantly makes this tournament much better. It’s been a slow start for the Tigers (2-4), but they’ve played four games against teams from outside Western New York. They beat Kenmore West at the same MMA/ECIC Challenge Jamestown played in a week ago and then defeated Chicago Bulls College Prep — you’re reading that correctly — in a tournament this week in

Statistically this was the best game so far this season for the Bonnies offense. 79 points is a season high. In addition to a season high in points the Bonnies made a season best 29 field goals while handing out a season best 21 assists en route to shooting a season high 49.2 percent from the floor. Their 25 points off turnovers are also a season high. Their 59 field goal attempts is the second highest total this season. The Brown and White went 9-22 from three-point range, both those are numbers are the second highest total this season in those categories. Their 10 steals are the second highest season total as well. Despite all of the season high team totals, not one Bonnie recorded a season or career high point total. Dixon led all scorers with 17 while Ortega contributed 12. Ashley Zahn, Hannah Little and Katie Healy each added eight points. Emily Michael pitched in nine points on 3-5 shooting from

deep in her fifth career start. Alaina Walker tossed in six while McGee and Rueter added four each. Kelcie Rombach managed three points to round out the Bonnies scoring. Tatiana Wilson was the only Bona player not to score. The Bonnies return to action after the Christmas holiday on Dec. 30 when they welcome N.C. State to the Reilly Center for a Saturday matinee. It will be the first ever meeting between the two programs. The Bonnies have played in N.C. State's arena however. It played host to the Bonnies' Sweet Sixteen matchup with Notre Dame last season. GAME NOTES: The Bonnies are above .500 for the first time since Nov. 24 when they lost to North Texas in double-overtime to move to 3-3. It is also the first time the Bonnies have won consecutive games since their season-opening three-game win streak.

Hockey Fans Fed Up With Ongoing NHL Labor Strife By Dan Gelston Associated Press
Sitting in a hockey locker room, Steve Chase became the latest die-hard fan fed up with the NHL lockout. Living in Los Angeles, Chase believed the league had squandered all the goodwill built in the area after the Kings won the Stanley Cup. His weekly pickup games with friends became his only taste of the sport he loved because of the ongoing labor strife that has dragged on for months. So he took a poll of his buddies, then took a pledge: ''We're not coming back.'' Not for good. Just not after the lockout is settled, not for a while. Chase started the grass roots ''Just Drop It'' campaign that encourages fans to boycott one NHL game for every game canceled after Dec. 21st. No tickets, no TV, no merchandise — not a minute or a penny spent on the league, punishment for what he believed are continued abuses of loyalty on their fan base. He made a video and started a Facebook page, urging fans to click the ''like'' button and join the cause. More than 11,000 angry fans have joined since the weekend, a puck drop in the circle compared to the millions of fans who attend games, but the latest Continued on pg 6

Wildcats are still probably the favorite in both the league and the class. Undefeated Cassadaga Valley (4-0, 2-0) probably gets its first true test with Randolph (2-2, 1-1) as well on Thursday. Randolph’s two losses have come against teams that are 9-1 (Portville and Maple Grove) this year and are just starting to get into the swing of things after a long, state championship football season. Some thought it could be a tough year for the Cougars this year, but all they’ve done is go 4-0 to start the year. They host their annual holiday tournament after Christmas. The first local holiday tournament is in Jamestown this weekend with the United Way Tournament. The first game Friday night is Fredonia (2-1, 1-1) vs. Bishop Timon, of South Buffalo. Jamestown (30, 1-0) hosts Bennett later on. It’s a solid group of teams that unfortunately means somebody is going to have to go 0-2. Still, a potential TimonJamestown final looms Saturday, which would be the Red Raiders second game against a Monsignor Martin school this year. They defeated St. Joe’s last week. A couple of more games to keep an eye on this week include Southwestern and Allegany-Limestone in Division 1. Expectations were raised for the Trojans this year and perhaps the offensive outburst we were all waiting for against Dunkirk will spark them going forward. Maple Grove (3-1, 1-0) and Forestville (3-3, 1-0) put their undefeated Division 3 records on the line in Forestville. Also in Division 3, Westfield 1-3 (0-0) and Chautauqua Lake (1-3, 0-1) look their first league win. It’s been a disappointing start for each school.

Gailey Fails Again
Chris Winkler COMMENTARY
Pardon me for beating the proverbial dead horse, but I cannot ignore the Buffalo Bills and push them to the side for some other measure to rant about. I’ve laid it on pretty thick for weeks and besides everything else you’ve read or listened to this week, I need to pile on. That’s because it’s become more than evident to me that we will never be able to root for a winning Bills team so long as Ralph Wilson is the owner. Truthfully, there is nothing you can hate on Ralph for. After all, he brought football to Buffalo and kept it there for 50-plus years. He’s also kept prices to a minimum in relation to other NFL venues. But if he somehow decides to keep Buddy Nix and Chan Gailey in charge of this football team for another year, he’s going to get hit where he hurts the most — the ticket box. To be fair, Buffalo fans have been out of patience for a decade. But they’re willing to deal with losing if the product on the field actually makes it appear as if they’re heading in the right direction. We were all excited in 2010 — well after they finally won a game at least — to see a budding offense with capable young players. The defense was getting shredded, but it was in well-known transition. We actually went into 2011 with some optimism. But since that 5-2 start last year, the Bills are 6-17. That’s hard to believe. At 15-31, Gailey actually needs to win each of his last two games to match Gregg Williams’ win total after three years. He can’t even sniff Dick Jauron’s and amazingly, only has one more win in three years than Mike Mularkey had in two. Let that sink in. The utterly incredible part about all of this, is that Nix has publicly defended Gailey, saying just a few weeks ago they he didn’t want to even talk about it anymore because it wasn’t even an option. He’s already tried to boost fans morale by saying they will draft a quarterback next year. he It’s a simple diversion tactic, hoping to deflect any ill will towards Gailey back to Ryan Fitzpatrick as the root probvin lem for this team. Besides, no GM in the history of football in makes his future plans that well known. You lose any baract gaining chip come April if you at keep harping on that. Regardless, this regime had three years to answer the quarterback problem. They drafted one guy in the seventh round and picked up absolute com retreads — at best — in Vince Young and Tavares Jackson. Not surprisingly, neither has ever suited up for the team. But quarterback is just one problem, even if it is the biggest. While many ridiculed the team for passing on Russell Wilson for T.J. Graham, how
ne
many of you actually think Wilson would have had the opportunity to play so far? The team needed Fred Jackson to get hurt before ever giving a first round pick — top 10 at that — any meaningful playing time. What makes you think Gailey would have been so willing to play Wilson over Fitzpatrick? Gailey has the worst starting quarterback in the entire NFL and is still too afraid to give anyone else a shot. Talent evaluation has arguably been Gailey’s biggest problem. Nevermind is excruciatingly painful playcalling or time management skills, Gailey is too afraid to call guys out and only benched one player — Stevie Johnson after a touchdown celebration. Just look at the scores to see horrible this team is. Yet, week-in and week-out, it’s the same old team, hoping for new results. So don’t go telling me how much improved this team is. Granted, they’ve got some noticeable skill players. Johnson’s ridiculous one-handed catch basically showcased his talent level while exposing all of Fitzpatrick’s. He’s not Larry Fitzgerald, but he’s a legitimate No. 1 receiver in this league if he had any help. Spiller’s pretty darn good, too, and as much as you hate the Jekyll and Hyde defensive line, there is skill there. But it’s not enough to win and while Nix and Gailey aren’t miracle workers, they’ve settled for inadequate players elsewhere entirely too much. How is Bryan Scott a starter in the NFL — or even in the league for that matter — for this long? How have they continued to rely on Terrence McGee? He’s been able to start all of nine games in the previous three years — all of which saw him land on the season-ending injured reserve list. Stunningly, the only move they made to “improve” the roster was by cutting Brian Moorman for a rookie, which has literally done absolutely nothing for this team. It’s tiring and I know it’s the same old story that you have to hear every day or every week or every three years. But Gailey has proven he cannot win in this league, a direct contrary to what his boss Nix says. Truthfully, I don’t know if Ralph is willing to hire a big name coach, but how many games like Sunday can he take? The Bills have been absolutely obliterated in four games this year. They’ve won five. That doesn’t exactly scream playoffs. The fact is they’re at least another two years away from the playoffs and could be dealt a crushing blow if safety Jairus Byrd leaves in free agency. But what you’ve seen over the past few weeks is a team with so many glaring weaknesses. Do you trust Nix and Gailey to find the pieces to fix them? I know I don’t. I don’t even know how you can. But Gailey won’t be fired this week. And if he can manage to win these last two games against the Dolphins and Jets — and why can’t they — there’s a good chance he’ll be able to return for a fourth year. A 7-9 season. A middle-round draft pick. A bumbling head coach. A quarterback as a top offseason priority. I guess things really don’t change.

Bills Replace Playoff Objective With Progress By John Wawrow Associated Press
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — No longer in playoff contention, quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick and the Buffalo Bills believe they still have something important to compete for before the season is over. Job security. With questions being raised about his future as well as that of coach Chan Gailey's, Fitzpatrick can't predict what changes might be coming this offseason. What he and the team can control is salvaging what's left by using the final two games to show they're making progress. That's the argument Fitzpatrick laid out Monday, a day after an embarrassing 50-17 loss to Seattle that formally knocked the Bills (5-9) out of the playoff race for a 13th straight season. ''We all understand the situation we're in right now,'' Fitzpatrick said. ''And I think we all understand the importance of these last two games in terms of effort and the product that we put on the field to show that we have made progress and there is hope with the guys that we have in this locker room.'' Buffalo closes the year facing two AFC East rivals and a chance to avoid finishing last in the division for a fifth consecutive season. The Bills travel to play Miami (6-8) on Sunday, followed by a home game against the New York Jets on Dec. 30. So much for the high expectations the Bills had in

opening the season. They've instead been replaced by the familiar frustrations of a franchise that's spent much of the past decade spinning its wheels. Buffalo's playoff drought is the NFL's longest active streak. And the team is also guaranteed to finish with a losing record for an eighth straight season. That's not what Bills players and re-energized fans believed was in store following a freespending offseason in which the team made a big splash three days into free agency by signing defensive end Mario Williams to a six-year, $100 million contract. Williams' arrival was supposed to improve a defense that had been one of the NFL's leakiest. He has helped to improve the Bills' pass rush, but the defense is still experiencing trouble in other areas. In giving up 50 points to Seattle, Buffalo became the eighth NFL team to allow
Bills News And Notes
45 points four times in one season, and the first since the New York Jets did that in 1986, according to STATS LLC. The NFL record is five 45-point games, shared by the 1950 Baltimore Colts and 1966 New York Giants. The Bills have now allowed 402 points this season, which already ranks as the team's fifth-worst total. The franchise low is 454 (1984). ''Just giving up too many big plays, simple as that,'' linebacker Kelvin Sheppard said. ''We didn't get the results that we were expecting or everyone else was expecting. So it is what it is.'' The same holds true for an offense that was supposed to build on last year, when it showed glimpses of a spark during a 6-10 finish. Fitzpatrick is 65 yards passing short of his third consecutive 3,000-yard season, but he's been inconsistent in having thrown 22 touchdowns versus 15 interceptions. He's also coming off a sloppy out-
ing against the Seahawks in which he threw two interceptions and lost a fumble on three consecutive drives to open the second half. That's left Fitzpatrick unsure of his status some 14 months since signing a six-year, $59 million contract extension. ''Yeah, that's a great question,'' Fitzpatrick said, when asked if he feels he's done enough to merit another shot at being the starter. ''Unfortunately, the product on the field and the results, especially the win-loss record, isn't where it needs to be. And so, again, I think, the last two games are important.'' Gailey's on the hot seat, even though general manager Buddy Nix insisted last month that the coach's job is safe. What's missing, though, is an assurance from Ralph Wilson, the Bills owner. Though he's in regular contact with team officials, including Nix and Gailey, Wilson has not spoken publicly since he was briefly hospitalized in late August. Gailey is focused on preparing for the final two games. And he has no plans to tinker with his lineup, including a change at quarterback. Fitzpatrick will remain the starter even though the team gave up a draft pick to acquire Tarvaris Jackson in a trade with Seattle in August. Jackson, who is 17-17 as a starter, has been inactive for all 14 games this season. ''The focus is to win,'' Gailey said. ''We're going to put the players on the field that help us win games. That's the responsibility of an organization, and for me in particular.''

Compiled Report Star Staff
Moats To Miss Final Two Games ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Buffalo Bills reserve linebacker Arthur Moats will miss the final two games of the season after hurting his ankle. Coach Chan Gailey provided the update on Monday, a day after the player was hurt in the first half of a 50-17 loss to Seattle in a game played at Toronto. Gailey did not reveal the nature of the injury or which ankle the player had hurt. The Bills (5-9) are out of playoff contention and next play at Miami (6-8) on Sunday. Gailey said backup receiver Marcus Easley will miss this weekend's game after hurting his hamstring against Seattle. Starting center Eric Wood has a chance to return after missing the past two games with a sprained left knee.
Urbik Extended ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — The Buffalo Bills have reached an extension with guard Kraig Urbik on a contract extension, says ESPN.com. The deal is for four years and worth $15 million, according to the report. Urbik is a two-year starter in Buffalo and apparently will be part of the team’s plans despite the uncertainty that swirls around both head coach Chan Gailey and general manager Buddy Nix as the team has struggled to a 5-9 record.

The Devils led by as many as nine points in the first half before Hilbert took the
lead late in the period. With the sore tied 24-all, Jessica Jamieson hit a jumper and a
three pointer to close out the first-half scoring and give the Hawks a 29-24 advantage. The second half featured several lead changes before the Devils took charge. With the score tied 52-all, the Devils closed the game with a flurry, outscoring the Hawks 18-7. Hebert accounted for nine points during the run. Fredonia State's Jenna Austin added 5 assists while Sabrina Macaulay had 7 steals. Hilbert (3-7) was paced by Natalie Whitman's 17 points. The Devils are idle until Jan. 11.

Bonnies trailed the Golden Griffins at halftime. Canisius emerged with a 77-67 victory on that day. CeCe Dixon led the Bonnies on the scoring front with seven while Walker added six. Ortega scored just four points but added seven rebounds. The Bonnies shot 24.1 percent in the first half. Only against West Virginia (22.0 percent) and Niagara (24.0 percent) have they shot a worse percentage in the first half. The Bonnies struck first in the second half to cut the lead to one, 22-21 but Canisius responded, pushing their lead up to 28-23 thanks to some hot shooting from Ashley Wilkes. She would finish with a game-high 16 points
to go with seven rebounds in 27 minutes. The Brown and White battled back to tie the score at 32 thanks a triple from Emily Michael in the corner with 13:34 to play. Canisius built their lead back to four, 37-33, with 11:57 to go. It was at that moment that the Bonnies flipped the switch. Dixon hit a jumper, then on the ensuing Griffs possession, Walker stole a pass and converted a lay-up in transition to tie the score 37-37. Dixon hit a three from the wing to make it 40-37 but Canisius answered driving lay-in by Jen Lennox to make it 40-39. From there the Bonnies put this game away with a 26-5
run over the final 10:05 to secure their seventh consecutive victory over Canisius and their sixth straight season with perfect record against Big 4 opponents. Ortega, Dixon and Walker each scored a team-high 15 points to give the Bonnies multiple double-digit scorers for the eleventh time this season. Ortega nearly secured her sixth career double-double but came up one rebound short with nine. Walker added seven rebounds while Dixon added five. The Bonnies defense held Canisius to just 28.0 percent shooting (14-50) in the win. St. Bonaventure has a quick turnaround as they will welcome Kent State to the Reilly Center on Tuesday (Dec. 18) at 7:00 p.m. GAME NOTES: Despite trailing at halftime, the Bonnies scored 47 points in the second half. SBU trailed each of their matchups with Big 4 teams this season at halftime. The Bonnies outscored Canisius 28-12 in the paint, 13-7 off turnovers, 14-11 in second chance points and trailed the Griffs 14-11 in bench points.

NAHL Announces Divisional Stars Of The Week also a +2 during the weekend. For the season, Davis ranks 2nd on the Bulls roster in scoring with 30 points in 29 games played. Most impressively however, is that he ranks 1st overall in the NAHL with a +33 plus/minus rating. “Mike has really come into his own this year. He understands fully what playing two-way hockey is about and has really improved to become an elite player at this level,” said Bulls head coach Dennis Williams. “He is a perfect example of a player that has made the most of his opportunity and is really starting to step up on the big stage.”
West Division Star of the Week: Robert Nichols, goaltender, Wenatchee Wild
Wenatchee goaltender Robert Nichols, 20, keeps winning and so do the Wild. The two have gone hand-in-hand the past two seasons and this weekend was no exception. The native of Dallas, Texas, was in goal for two more wins
over the weekend as the Wild swept West rival Fresno to keep their West Division lead at four points and hang on to the best record in the NAHL. Nichols didn’t start on Friday, but after two quick Fresno goals in the first two minutes of the game he was quickly inserted in goal and promptly stopped every shot from that point on as Wenatchee came from behind to win 3-2 in a shootout with Nichols making 17 saves. On Saturday, the University of Connecticut recruit got the start and responded with 15 saves in a 4-1 win. For the weekend, Nichols stopped 32 of 33 shots for a 96.9 save percentage. “I thought Robbie was calm and composed as usual,” said Wild head coach Bliss Littler. “Fresno had a lot of momentum going on Friday after their start and Robbie came in and settled things down. I think the team plays with a certain type of confidence when he is in goal because they feel like they can take certain chances knowing he is there to back them up.”

Coyote Numbers: Too Many Per Deer? By Peter Hamilton Star Contributing Writer
The sun goes down. The moon comes up. The nocturnal arise. Far off in the distance, a chilling howl is heard; an increasing yipping and yapping sound. At first, to the listener, naturally it could be faraway dogs. Or not. If the sound is a high-pitched yelping, it is most likely the peculiar call of Canis latrans — the coyote. In Latin, it means “barking dog”. Many Chautauqua County residents are familiar with the extraordinary series of short, yelping notes, and they are not that of their neighbor’s dog barking. Moreover, for many of those who live in the countryside, the scientific Latin name is not the word they would use to describe “the nuisance of coyotes.” What they, those coyotes, call themselves, is presumably known only to them. The coyote is a very vocal animal. Robert Blades, a national wildlife expert, and a licensed commercial wildlife trapper, says that the coyote has one of the most sophisticated vocalized specialization of that of other animals. Including, he writes, that of whales. “A coyote’s bark, growl, yip, and whine is used to let other pack members know where it is,” Blades said. Coyotes also use short barks to warn of danger. Other vocalizations include growls when establishing dominance, whining and whimpering when males and females are establishing bonds and high-pitched barks to summon puppies, says Blades. Their shrewd cry discriminates several purposes: to call in the pack, beckon a mate or announce their territory. The calls are most commonly heard at dusk, or at night, and occasionally in the daytime. Although their call is year-round, it is heard most often during mating season, February through March. Or, as in the fall, when it is time for the pups to leave and establish new territories. When a coyote wants to call the pack together, it howls at one high note.
When the pack is together, it howls even higher and shriller. Like the way they do when it’s time to pack-hunt food. But what do they eat? “Almost anything,” according to the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry. However, “For the past 30 years,” according to SUNY, “deer have dominated winter diets.” And summer suggests An Easter Coyote in the winter.

In 2011, the BTO ratio for the deer within a game hunter’s licensed “state lands” in Chautauqua County ration. In other words, supported by Ed Martin, a coyote is competitive and was “8.5 deer per harvested mile”. has an inequitable lead against that of a Does that figure support the percep-
tion that the coyote is taking more deer? Objectively, the notion that an inequitable ratio of deer to coyote exists could be supported with information from the NYSDEC. The department suggests that deer may now comprise “more of the diet” with the coyote population “than previously accounted.” What about the coyote populations? “The Eastern coyote is firmly established in New York,” said Megan Gollwitzer of the NYSDEC. She says Coyotes have had “an accountable presence” in Western New York “for about 70 years.” The DEC estimates that there are currently 30,000-35,000 coyotes statewide. Coyotes, like many of their relatives in the animal genus, canis, are territorial carnivores, often hunting in groups numbering upwards to nine members. Deer, like their Odocoileus genus relatives, are browsing feeders, grazing together in pairs, and often in herds of six and up. The territorial range for coyote pack hunting, according to environmental reports, has diminished. The natural grazing opportunities for deer have been reduced, say agricultural reports. It is a commonly accepted fact that the natural animal world — that of both coyote and deer — and the man-made world, are encroached. White-tailed deer that live in a good habitat (grasses, open pasture, corn stubble) can be expected to graze in numbers of about two dozen within a limited 300-400 acre vicinity; an area approximately three-quarters of a mile square. According to National Wildlife figures, the average circumference range of an Eastern coyote, Canis latrans, is between three and eight miles; an area about 3,600 acres. According to the US Census Bureau, there are 1,060 square miles of land in Chautauqua County (excluding 438 square miles of water).
A deductive ratio could place a small number deer with a large radius of a coyote pack. Or, about four deer to each coyote. Does this mean coyotes will seek out deer as their exclusive prey? “Maybe,” suggests Tim Mullard, a New York State licensed Nuisance Wildlife Control Officer. (NYSWCO) “The coyote population in the county is abundant. The coyotes in the Chautauqua county area can travel greater distances than that of coyotes in other national areas.” Mullard said they have a larger hunting scope. He consulted a reference table and accounted, they average about an 18.2-mile range. That would be a span three times the radius of other, non-Chautauqua County coyotes. Will coyotes become a competitive hunter to human hunters? “They can be,” says Bill Blancer who is also a NYSWCO from the Mayville area. “Coyotes are pretty clever animals. They hunt in packs, or a rout.” Mullard reflected on whether coyotes will become a significant challenger to the number of Deer Management Permits. “Not necessarily,” he said. He describes coyotes as “opportunistic.” They are also scavengers. He also said that they hunt the easiest food available to them. They seek animals they find in their range. “But, they don’t usually kill adult deer,” he added. “And, if they do, they may not finish the hunt.” Is the future of deer management in juxtaposition with coyote populations at risk? According to a 2011 NYSDEC report, “There is plenty of deer for hunting in Chautauqua County. The deer harvest in 9J has been right at objective levels since 2006.” To-date, the 2012 harvest season report has not yet been released. This is Part I of a three-part story. “People and Coyotes” will be the second installment and will run in the Jan. 4 issue of the Chautauqua Star.
Lake Erie Fishing Hotline Contributed Article
Department of Environmental Conservation
The Lake Erie tributaries have been fishing well for the past two weeks, with good numbers of fresh silvery steelhead spread throughout the system. Cattaraugus Creek water level is steadily dropping, but is still slightly high and murky today. The Catt should be ready by tomorrow. All other Erie tributaries are in good fishing shape today. Chautauqua, Canadaway, Silver, Walnut, Eighteenmile, Buffalo and Cayuga Creeks are all good bets this weekend. Lake Erie steelhead commonly hit natural baits like egg sacs and worms,
flies such as egg imitations, streamers and bugger patterns, and artificial lures like trout beads, minnow-type stickbaits and in-line spinners. The fish passage project at the Westfield Water Works dam on Chautauqua Creek has been completed. This fish passage gives steelhead access to an additional 10 miles of stream that runs through a deep, wooded gorge. There are about 7 miles of public fishing rights easements (PFR) over that stretch of stream. See the Chautauqua Creek PFR Map (PDF) (409 KB) to view these public access areas.
Lake Erie Harbors
Anglers typically start to see steelhead and brown trout catches in
Barcelona and Dunkirk Harbors at this time of year. At Barcelona Harbor, anglers generally fish from the pier. Dunkirk Harbor anglers can fish from the pier or the DEC fishing platform located near the power plant warm water discharge. Live minnows, spoons and spinners are good baits for harbor trout.
Chautauqua Lake
During this transition time between open water and ice fishing seasons, there has not been much fishing activity on Chautauqua Lake. However, anglers can find good yellow perch and sunfish action in nearshore areas of 8-16 feet of water. Small minnows, worms and small ice fishing jigs
tipped with waxworms work well. Anglers are catching some walleye below 20-25 feet in the deep holes of the north basin. Vertical jigging just off the bottom with Swedish pimples, jigging Rapalas and hair jigs tipped with worms or minnows are good bets for walleye. Anglers may still target bass by catch and release only, artificial lures only. The nearshore zone is a good bet for bass on plastics, stickbaits and buzzbaits.
Upper Niagara River
Shore anglers can target yellow perch from Broderick Park. Emerald shiners are available for dipping at that site and are the best bait for
perch. Anglers can also target trout from the park, as well as along Bird Island Pier and the northern tip of Squaw Island. Drifting egg sacs or casting spoons are good bets for trout. Smallmouth bass are available throughout the river, however bass fishing is by catch and release only, artificial lures only, until the third Saturday in June. If you need more fishing information or would like to contribute to the fishing report, please call or e-mail Mike Todd (716-851-7010; mttodd@gw.dec. state.ny.us) or Jim Markham (716-3660228; jlmarkha@gw.dec.state.ny.us). The fishing hotline can also be heard at (716) 679-ERIE or (716) 855-FISH.
WHENEVER IT ENDS, WILL THERE BE FANS TO PLAY FOR? continued from pg 1 small sign fans won't again be easily won back. ''People are trying to crush the NHL,'' Chase said. ''That's not our goal. Our goal is just to get hockey back. Hopefully somebody, somewhere cares about this and decides, 'Guys, we've got to get back and talk.' The fans are right.” ''They're fighting over our money.'' The days of letter writing and 30-second phone calls to sports radio stations have ballooned to steady streams of hashtags, Facebook posts and homemade videos from fans who just want to come in from the cold of this labor battle and watch their slap shots and saves. They are exasperated over a work stoppage with no end in sight and little regard for the fans. Penguins captain Sidney Crosby understood why fans are upset over the third lockout in Commissioner Gary Bettman's 20-year tenure. ''I don't blame anyone for being frustrated with this process,'' Crosby said. ''Everyone's got to be frustrated with the way this has gone. It's pretty
easy for everyone involved to feel that way.'' Kind of like they sing in a song about union executive director Donald Fehr's old sport, some fans vow it's one, two, three lockouts and they're out. ''I wouldn't blame them if they did that by any stretch,'' Penguins forward Craig Adams said, ''but I can't predict that.'' It's actually pretty easy to call this shot. For all the angry tweets, texts, threats and organized campaigns, fans will still pick up the remote and print out tickets as soon as the strife ends. They always do. In every sport. Remember 1994? After the World Series was wiped out, baseball loyalists vowed never to return to the old ball game. Fueled by super-sized sluggers and retro ballparks, attendance topped 60 million in 1996, 70 million in 1998 and soared to 79,503,175 in 2007. The NHL, of course, can't match those numbers. But the story arc is still the same. The NHL drew 20,854,169 fans when the sport returned in 2005-06 — 497,970 more than the total in 2003-04, the season before the lockout.
The NHL saw an attendance uptick each of the next three seasons and totaled a record 21,468,121 fans in 2011-12. The NHL is coming off its sixth consecutive year of record revenue, with a projection of more than $3.2 billion by the end of the 2012 Stanley Cup playoffs, the league said. Don't forget, the NHL has a $2 billion, 10-year deal with NBC Sports Group through the 2020-21 season. ''Our fan support coming back last time was outstanding and we were probably a little bit surprised to see how good it was,'' Adams said. ''That speaks to how much the fans love the game.'' The NHL clearly caught some breaks coming out of the last lockout. The league marketed its comeback around rising stars like Crosby and Washington's Alex Ovechkin. They added fan-friendly shootouts and the New Year's Day Winter Classic. The league made the two-line pass legal to help bust up the neutral-zone trap and created chic commercials to appeal more toward casual fans.
This time — whenever the lockout ends — the league might be all out of tricks. They'll need to dig. And it could take years to recover from the wreckage. Some teams are trying to keep their brand alive among an increasingly uninterested public. The Flyers aired classic games and brought back former stars for autograph signings at a sports bar in the same complex as the Wells Fargo Center. Gerry Helper, special assistant to the president and senior vice president for the Nashville Predators, said the team enjoyed their best season ticket renewal year in franchise history this past offseason. The Predators have stayed aggressive in developing benefits packages for season ticketholders during the work stoppage. They organized ''Preds Pride Day'' activities and something called a ''Smashmob'' for a youth hockey game last month where they brought their public address announcer and mascot, and created a Predators' game-like atmosphere. Not every Predators fan feels
appreciated. Tom Begley, of Franklin, Tenn., canceled the two season tickets he has held since Day 1 of the franchise. He also estimated approximately 1,000 people like himself are season-ticket holders from the first day. He said the team has done plenty of events for all season-ticket holders, but nothing special for that select group. ''I got not even a phone call from the Predators just to say, 'Look we know you're a loyal die-hard season-ticket holder from Day 1. Why don't you come down and do something at the arena?''' he said. ''Hey, if I feel like it down the line and I want to buy tickets again I can do it. Right now, I don't know. I'm not convinced that hockey here in Nashville is going to be viable long-term. I am scared to death of what Donald Fehr is doing to the game and it's a shame. It really is.'' On Opening Night in January 2013 or October 2013 or November 2015, whenever, the teams will be back ready for the first faceoff. So will the fans. At least some of them.
