Halloween Hits Chautauqua County Top costumes and trick-or-treating mark another fun year for adults and youth alike

By Scott Wise Star News Editor

“The candy’s been bought, the white sheets are hemmed. Soon All Hallows Eve will be upon us once again!” The 31st of October marks a traditional day in the lives of many Americans, and those around the world. Children are giddy with excitement, getting ready to show off their costumes and race around town for the best candy. Adults are excited for parties and get-togethers with friends and families. Most know the story, that Halloween stems from (no pun intended) a Roman pagan holiday to celebrate the harvest. The infamous Jack-o-lanterns were Celtic ways to remember lost loved ones, and trick-or-treat a milder form of saying ‘give me candy or else.’ As with most events and holidays throughout the year, Chautauqua County seems to come alive on this night. Each township celebrates in their own way, some trick-ortreating and some holding citywide events to commemorate. Everyone finds some cause to get dressed up, and even many churches find a way to celebrate by calling it “Hallelujah Night” and giving youth another reason to celebrate Jesus Christ. Most folks in the northern parts of the county, and even the southern, find one way or another to get to

Morphsuits, or spandex bodysuit costumes, are this year’s best selling costumes at The Paper Factory in Fredonia, known to many as ‘Halloween Headquarters.’ Read more for a full listing of trick-or-treating around the county and other Halloween tidbits. Contributed Photo.

Fredonia, which holds what is likely the largest costume depot aroundThe Paper Factory. The business, owned by Bruce and Anne Mulkin of Fredonia, is renown by those near and far who know that to celebrate properly they must head to the ‘Halloween Headquarters.’ The store both sells and rents hundreds, thousands of costume and costume

acessories. And this year’s top sellers may be a shock to you. “Actaully, our biggest seller has been the Morph Suits,” said Anne. “They come in various colors and patterns, and some are printed on with skeletons.” Anne, like many other folks who know what morph suits are, can attest to their ability to be worn for

more than just a costume party. “You see them everywhere!” she said. “It’s not just for Halloween, people are wearing them year round. We even saw some at a Sabres game back in Spring.” Morph suits are branded spandex

Digital Mammography “Goes Live” at WCA Hospital Patient-Centered Imaging Center Provides Latest Technology, Less Wait

By Patricia Pihl Star Staﬀ Writer

An era has ended at WCA Hospital and another has begun. On October 26, WCA ‘s Outpatient Breast Imaging Center rolled out its new digital mammography system making a “clean break” from the old analog. The technology represents one change in how the hospital has advanced its breast cancer diagnostic procedures and service. That, according to research, means greater survival rates, due to earlier detection. Since beginning his tenure at WCA in 1996, Radiation Department Chairman Dr. Lyndon Gritters has seen many of these changes unfold. “Technology keeps advancing and you have to keep up on multiple fronts. To treat breast cancer correctly, you have to have all those technologies lined up.” Furthermore, he says it’s as much about service as technology. Digital mammography, the first line of defense against breast cancer, works much like a digital camera. Detecting XRays, the technology changes it to an electrical current, and constructs an imagine, which is then sent to a computer screen. For a patient, the test feels much like the old procedure. While the equip-

Pictured (second from left) with the Center For Imaging mammography team is Dr. Lyndon Gritters, Radiation Department Chairman.The Center recently celebrated a three year term of accreditation in mammography as the result of a recent survey by the American College of Radiology. The American College of Radiology awards accreditation to facilities for the achievement of high practice standards.

ment and compression are similar to the old technology, the difference, according to Gritters, is that it is faster, uses less radiation and is more accurate for women with dense breasts and for those who haven’t gone through menopause. Should an abnormality been seen, patients will be tested with a stereotactic breast biopsy, another recent upgrade. Previously, patients would have to go to the operating room to have a lump removed. According to Gritters, the new technique removes

tissue through a less invasive procedure involving a hollow needle from a suspicious area in the breast.The patient leaves with a band aid and has the results the next day. Less Wait=Less Anxiety Women can go from the initial mammogram, to biopsy to an answer in a matter of days. Before, there was a lot of time between the chain of events. Gritters adds, “Every day or week that would go by where a woman didn’t know what was going on was very anxiety provoking.”

Formerly, the process would take three visits over a two week period. Now, it is all done in the same day. “That way we can get patients through the process- whether they have a normal result or need to come back for a biopsy.” The day following the biopsy, patients are called with results. “Most of the biopsies are completely benign, and that’s it. Some women have early cancers and then we help coordinate the referral process to help them see a surgeon.” Women with a high risk of cancer, due either to genetics or family history may be recommended for a breast MRI, another technology added to the center about a year ago. MRI uses radio frequency waves in a magnet or tube, much like a CAT scan with a special coil just for breast imaging. According to Gritters, “The breast MRI is a powerful tool. It can find things that are invisible on both ultra sound and mammography.” In addition, it is constructed in such a way to help patients avoid feelings of claustrophobia. To detect cancers that may have traveled to the lymph nodes, the patient undergoes what is called a sentinel node biopsy. PET or Positron Emission Tomography, seems like a CAT scan, Gritters says. The procedure

Potter’s Field descended upon the heads of small gravestones. A small figure emerged from the forest and walked slowly towards the cemetery. The figure’s face became illuminated by the moonlight as he stepped into the clearing. Although fear gripped the young boy’s heart he clenched his fists and continued towards the center of the graveyard. Here, he rested against a statue of Saint Anthony of Padua. He lay against the cold stone and waited for midnight to come. The boy’s eyes slowly became heavy and he felt himself beginning to fall asleep. He wrestled with the thought of staying awake but was finally overcome. He slept peacefully while fog began to creep up from the ground. It slithered like a serpent through the grass and wrapped itself around the boy. It crept slowly into his nostrils and mouth pulling him ever deeper into slumber. His eyes opened

Happy Halloween everyone! To get you into the spirit of the holiday I have written a spooky story for you to enjoy. Keep in mind that this story is ﬁctional and just meant to entertain. Many elements of the story are based on facts but as a whole the tale is imaginary in nature. Enjoy the read and be safe on your Happy Halloween! Darkness cascaded over the tops of trees and slowly

who questioned the validity of the stories and decided to take it upon themselves to test the tale. A group of paranormal investigators brought with them equipment to debunk the myths surrounding the cemetery. On a dark night in late September they attempted to reproduce the experience. The fog was particularly heavy that evening and it made their work much more difficult. They pulled straws to decide who would be the one to go to sleep at midnight. When the time came the chosen one closed his eyes. It is said that he awoke screaming in terror only to find the rest of his group asleep as well. He tried to wake them but they all lie motionless with their eyes staring longingly into the darkness of the night. He escaped to recount the tale. But, the other seven members of his team did not. The deaths in the cemetery ended several years later.

to those who slept among the gravestones. Those who stood watch were barely able to keep themselves awake long enough to carry their unconscious friends away from the cemetery. Venturing into the graveyard was forbidden in the nearby town. However, there were many who were willing to risk their lives to reunite with those they had lost. Thus, the still motionless bodies of many were found resting within Potter’s Field. The deaths of so many drew the attention of local law enforcement. However, they were unable to produce any leads on the matter. They determined that the deaths were attributed to asphyxia or suffocation but there were never any signs of a struggle. So, the cemetery was surrounded by barbed wire fence to dissuade people from entering. And, for a years it kept people away. However, there were those

at midnight to see a figure standing before him. It was his mother with her arms outstretched towards him. And, although he knew that she had passed on less than a year ago he reached for her anyways. Taking her hand he walked with her out of the graveyard leaving his body behind lying motionless against the statue. The first signs of morning approached and even as the rays of light fell upon the boys open eyes he still lie motionless. He had become another victim of Potter’s Field. The boy’s experience was not unlike what others who ventured into the cemetery at midnight on foggy nights had seen. The stories from survivors were all tales of apparitions of loved ones appearing. It became rumored that the graveyard held the special power of bringing the dead back to life. One unique part of everyone’s story was that the apparitions only appeared

The police say that the true murderer was a man that must have died of old age. The paranormal investigator still retells his story as if he was visited by a ghostly apparition of a terrifying nature. Locals claim that whatever it was that took the lives of those who ventured into Potter’s Field must be in a slumber of its own. They say it is waiting patiently until the day it can feed again. However, the fog still creeps through the cemetery at midnight and the deaths of so many are still unexplained. Thus, the legend of of Potter’s Field lives on to this day. And, all those who venture there leave alive and well. But, they leave wishing that they had been able to reunite with their loved ones, even if it had cost them their lives.

While important, Gritters says technology isn’t the whole picture to care, but a starting point. Also important, is communication with the patient, and helping them get to the next step. “It all has to work together. We talk to patients when we finish this whole process and let them know what we think should happen next.” Breast Cancer “Navigator” Although connected to WCA, the Imaging Center is self-contained with its own entrance a convenience factor important to today’s busy woman. “Women are busy... they want to get their tests done and get on with there lives, says Linda Johnson, Marketing and Public Relations Representative from WCA.

requiring the expertise of radiologists, pathologist and potentially oncologists, Gritters says. Patients often have many questions and need help accessing the resources for the best care. It is for that reason that WCA ‘s Lynn Wigren, R.N., a certified breast health and patient care specialist is the go to person for those recently diagnosed. Concerning the value of the technology, Gritters reiterates a reality the public has heard many times: “The whole point is to find early cancers- you want to find them before you can feel them.” He says physical examinations are still important but mammograms can find cancers that are tiny. “Accumulated data over a 20 year period shows it has already shown a positive impact on survival rates due to early detection.”

ily received a letter from the Selection Committee that Kenneth would be included in time for this year’s induction ceremony. “I am very proud and honored to have been involved in the process to see that Kenneth Schunk and the Schunk family received the recognition for giving his life in protection of his community. It was a pleasure working with the Cassadaga Fire Department to identify the necessary documents after 46 years since Schunk’s death to move the process forward,” said Mr. Leone. The ceremony drew scores of firefighters and loved ones from around the state who watched as Mr. Schunk’s name, along with eight others, officially were unveiled on the Memorial, joining 2,357 names that already are inscribed on the wall. Twenty-one family members, including eight of Mr. Schunk’s nine children, traveled from various parts of the country to attend the ceremony. Kenneth’s daughter and son, Linda Kuzara and Stephen Schunk, both from Dunkirk, said the family appreciated the honor for their father. “I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the State of New York, the Governor, Senator Young, Mr. Leone and the Cassadaga Volunteer Fire Department for the honor bestowed upon my late father,” said Stephen Schunk. “The New York State Fallen Firefighters Memorial is a

beautiful monument to the many individuals who have lost their lives while saving others. Having my father’s name inscribed on the wall is a tremendous honor, and I wish to thank everyone who contributed in making this happen,” Linda Kuzara. Senator Catharine Young (R,C,I – Olean), who was in Albany to attend the memorial service, said, “We have a great Fire Coordinator in Julius Leone who understands that firefighters like Kenneth Schunk, who selﬂessly devoted their lives to help others in times of crisis, deserve to be honored and remembered. Kenneth was a true hero who loved his neighbors and community so much that he gave his all for them.” Mr. Schunk was a graduate of Canisius College in Buffalo, where he majored in chemical engineering. He was employed by Niagara Mohawk in Dunkirk, after transferring from Buffalo where he worked as a chemical engineer. He was survived by his wife of 18 years, Gladys Ainslie; his mother, Molly; his brother, Charles Reiner; and nine children: Deborah, Suzanne, Linda, Pamela, Richard, Stephen, Nancy, Elyse, and John. The Fallen Firefighters Memorial Wall, officially dedicated by Governor Pataki in 1998, is located on the Empire State Plaza. Standing in front of the Wall is a large bronze sculpture that depicts two firefighters carrying an injured colleague.

of our infrastructure that must be completed.” Senator Mark Grisanti (RBuffalo) said, “We heard today from experts from Western New York who shared some promising ideas and concepts to help improve the expressway as we aim towards creating new jobs and developing our local economy. It is imperative that we complete this project to finalize this important corridor connection.” Senator Patrick Gallivan (R,C,I - 59th District) said, “The efficient ﬂow of goods and people is essential to the economic resurgence of Western New York. A completed Route 219 will link our region with Toronto and the Southern United States, providing new opportunities for Western New York businesses. The experts gathered today reinforced the important need to expand and complete the Route 219 economic corridor. Senator Tim Kennedy (D-58th District) said, “Infrastructure investment is a vital component of our efforts to grow the Western New York economy and create jobs,” said “By making strategic transportation investments, we can put Western New Yorkers to work, rebuild critical roadways and spark private-sector investment – all of which will lead to a stronger local and statewide economy.” Assemblyman Joseph Giglio (R,C,I - Gowanda) said, “The completion of the Route 219 corridor has been a goal of government, community and business leaders in Western New York for many years. It is important that members of the State Legislature work with our federal Congressional delegation, as well as local government and business leaders, to assure the completion of the Route 219 project. However, the solutions are becoming increasingly difficult because of the financial and economic problems that continue to face Federal, State and Local governments. The roundtable discussion that was held today illustrated that the completion of the Route 219 corridor is vitally important to our region.” Assemblyman Robin Schimminger (D-C-I Kenmore) said, “Extending the Route 219 expressway via the Continental 1 plan would mean heightened tourist traffic, economic development and job growth for Western New York. Bringing this project to fruition would allow companies in Western New York and across the eastern United States and Canada to improve their access to Buffalo Niagara, Toronto, Pennsylvania and other points farther south thus getting products to market more quickly. Area residents would also have greater access to jobs, schools, services, and recreation venues, making this project vital to the region. I look forward to reviewing the ideas that come from today’s roundtable discussion and working with my colleagues to help move this project forward.” Assemblyman Dennis Gabryszak said, “The Route 219 Expressway

project is a way to spark economic growth in Western New York,” said. “This project has the capability to link our area with many other cities and give businesses and travel a direct route to our area. If completed, the 219 Expressway’s potential economic inﬂuence is both necessary and invaluable.” Meg Lauerman, Project Manager for Continental 1, said, “Completion of Route 219 is a transformational project that will bring jobs to Western New York. The involvement of so many experts from the public and private sector here today demonstrates the wide support this project has in our region. We all appreciate the leadership and understanding that Senator Young and other area lawmakers bring to this issue.” Jim Manno, Vice President Sales and Marketing for Sonwil Distribution Center that has been providing logistical and management solutions for companies at a regional, national and international level for 65 years said a completed Route 219 will bring a needed boost to area businesses. “Our company provides logistics solutions to companies and business in Western New York that want to grow. A significant logistical challenges they have right now is getting their products from point A to B in an efficient and cost effective way. Completing Route 219 will help growing business meet their potential and reduce costs on their everyday shipping and operating expenses,” said Mr. Manno. Patrick J. Whalen, who is the Chief Operating Officer for Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus, said a completed Route 219 is essential in not only providing patients with greater and more accessible health care, but also to help strengthen the health care industry. “There are patients in the Jamestown and Olean areas that are more likely to go to Pittsburgh to get health care because there is no efficient route to Buffalo. A completed Route 219 will improve the quality of health care by making it possible to transport those in need of acute care to hospitals in Buffalo much more quickly and efficiently. Having a smooth and efficient four-way highway system is extremely important to our region’s health care industry,” said Mr. Whalen. Dennis Eshbaugh, President and CEO of Holiday Valley Resort in Ellicottville, said, “The completion of Rt. 219 is vital to the economic future of the entire Toronto to Miami corridor. A functioning trade route allows for the efficient transportation of supplies and people, thereby enabling economic success in manufacturing and tourism in New York State.”

Communicating Through Song and Hand

Local Class Opens Enrollment for ASL and Music Integration; Family Bonding and Language Development By Scott Wise Star News Editor

As the holidays swiftly approach, people always seem to be busier than ever- shopping, planning, cleaning and decorating. Sometimes it’s easy during the hustle and the bustle to forget what matters most in life- our families. There are plenty of activities that parents can do with their children year-round and especially during the holidays. One local businesswoman has put years of work and experience, and natural talent, together to create a program with the goal in mind of helping families bond. “I’m encouraging folks to participate because I have a passion,” said Mercy Homer, owner of ‘Sing to Me, Sign to Me,’ a multi-faceted educational program aimed to establish family bonds and increase language skills in children. You may remember the Chautauqua Star publishing a business spotlight on Homer’s new program back in June. After a few months of plan-

ning, scheduling and hard-work, the Sing to Me, Sign to Me classes for fall are ready to go. “Sing to Me, Sign to Me are classes that integrate sign language and music instruction to help enhance language and help parent-child bonding,” said Homer. “Research indicates that children who’s language skills (both verbal and non-verbal) are developed early are better readers, function better in society and have better relationships.” The classes, according to her website www. singtomesigntome. com, “are held in a playful, educational and language-rich environment, caregivers and children will develop their American Sign Language (ASL) vocabulary through interactive instruction, activities and lots of music too.” Homer has created a system that uses music and sign language to encour-

age language development in children. The great thing

about her program is her experience behind it. Having

spent over 16 years with Early Intervention services, she’s seen first-hand time and time again the benefits that come with children earning sign-language at an early age. “Gestures can begin at six months of age,” said Homer. “Yes, you’re child can communicate at six months! Verbal or nonverbal are still both forms of communication.” The two classes being offered in Nov. are “Baby Beginners Class I” for two age groups, 12-18 months old and 18-24 months old. “The differences in development from 12 to 24 months are vast,” said Homer. “We want to not exclude anyone by making sure each child is focused correctly.” The classes take place on Friday or Saturday mornings, depending on your child’s age. If

each of the five classes (taken over a five-week period) are attended, Homer offers a loyalty card for those wishing to attend another class, which offers a discounted rate. “I’ve always done this, it’s my life,” said Homer. “I’ve worked with children for 16 years and it’s time to take things in a different direction and help in a way I haven’t been able to before.” The classes are open to any child, regardless of developmental situation. While studies show that sign language can help children with autism or apraxia develop communication skills, Homer also encourages normal developing children to attend the classes, where they can act as role models for other students. For more information on Sing to Me, Sign to Me, including a class schedule or to register for a class, visit www.singtomesigntome.com. Homer also offers free seminars and workshops throughout the year to introduce parents to the program. Details are also online.

WCA Hosts Pink Exhibit At Chautauqua Mall Exhibit In Recognition Of Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Contributed Article WCA Hospital

A ten foot long exhibit with manikins dressed in varied shades of pink is one of the ways WCA Hospital, in collaboration with Simon’s Chautauqua Mall in Lakewood, New York, is teaming up to build awareness during National Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October. The “THINKpINK Exhibit” which is available for public viewing through the end of October, is designed to help women and the community understand the importance of mammography screening. “Our message is simple, yet powerful,” said Toni DeAngelo, R.N., WCA Hospital Community Health and Wellness Director. “Get your mammogram. Do it for your mother, your sister, your daughter, your loved ones. Get your mammogram because you matter! It’s your health, so take charge by getting your annual mammogram screening. Our exhibit also is a great way to get our community engaged and talking about breast cancer because awareness leads to early detection and early detection saves lives.” The display, funded in part by the Susan G. Komen For The Cure®, Western New York Affiliate, features nine manikins dressed in pink with the goal

of reaching people in a creative and interesting way to educate them on the importance of getting their annual mammogram screening. As part of the breast cancer awareness campaign, the exhibit also features a number of printed breast health materials including, educational brochures, information sheets, and shower cards to help educate the community on good breast health practices. The educational information, which is free to the public, provides basic and easy-to-understand facts ranging from early detection, risks factors, diagnosis and treatment. Chautauqua Mall retailers, the BonTon, CJ Banks, Christopher & Banks, Deb Shop, Maurices, Sears, and Victoria Secret supported the campaign by dressing the makikins with clothes from their shops. “Every year during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I wear my pink ribbon, but this year means so much more to me than wearing a pink ribbon,” says Linda Johnson, who works for WCA and was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. “It’s about taking charge of my health and learning how I can improve my overall well-being. It is really comforting to know that WCA Hospital is readily available with plenty of essential information to help people understand how they can move forward from breast cancer

and stay healthy and well after treatment.” According to the American Cancer Society’s most recent estimates for breast cancer in the United States for 2011, about 230,480 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women. About 57,650 new cases of carcinoma in situ will be diagnosed and about 39,520 women will die from breast cancer. Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women, exceeded only by lung cancer. The chance that breast cancer will be responsible for a woman’s death is about 1 in 36 (about 3%). Death rates from breast cancer have been declining since about 1990. These decreases are believed to be the result of earlier detec-

Bats are fascinating creatures, but many people are afraid of them and don’t appreciate how helpful they are. On Saturday, Oct. 29 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. the Audubon Center and Sanctuary will have an open house on “Bats of the Night,” when visitors can learn why we need them and how they are being seriously threatened. Often portrayed as frightening creatures of darkness, these small winged animals can eat insects weighing up to twothirds of their body weight in one night. By helping to keep insects under control, they reduce the quantities of insecticides used on crops. In the last three years a mysterious disease has killed more than 90 per cent of wintering bats in some caves and mines from Vermont to Virginia. Because they are the slowest reproducing mammals on earth for their size, most giving birth to only a single pup each year, bats are very

Breast cancer is about 100 times less common among men than among women. For men, the lifetime risk of getting breast cancer is about 1, in 1,000. The number of breast cancer cases in men relative to the population has been fairly stable over the last 30 years. About 2,140 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed among men. “We are very excited to be involved in such an important cause,” said Cynde Breneman, Director of Marketing and Business Development at the

Ghosts, Togas and Beyond

Contributed Article K. Jessie Austin

Throwing a sheet over you head and cutting holes for your eyes and mouth is not the only way to make a successful Halloween costume out of a bed sheet. There are many other original and creative options that are just as easy and require only a sheet and maybe a few other small items. All of these costumes could be made in an afternoon. The State of Liberty can be easily made using a dyed grey bed sheet. Drape the sheet around your body toga style and pin it in place. Simply make a torch and crown out of cardboard, paint them the same shade as your sheet, and you’re ready to go. Another variation on the toga style sheet is to drape a white sheet over one shoulder and secure it around your body with a piece of gold cord. Glue some green or gold silk leaves to a headband, put in your hair and you’re an instant Greek god or goddess. A sheet can be easily turned into a mummy costume by cutting it into strips and wrapping yourself up with them. Swamp thing can be made from an old green sheet, cut into strips and attached as you would for a mummy costume. But also attach leaves from

the yard and smear dirt on the costume. Add some green face paint and you’re set. To be an angel, cut a hole for your head. Spray the sheet with clear spray paint and sprinkle glitter on it immediately, before the paint has a chance to dry. Add wings and a halo made from clothes hangers covered in aluminum foil. A sheet can also easily become the cape to any superhero or Dracula costume. To be a bunch of grapes, cut a head hole in a purple sheet and attach purple balloons to it. Make a hat of green and brown felt leaves.

You can be a store by taking a sheet and cutting a hole in the middle for your head. Next decide on what kind of store you want to be and pin or Velcro items to your sheet. You can be a convenience store and pin bags of chips, candy bars and gum to you, or pin ﬂowers and greens to you and be a ﬂorist. Just be sure your store items aren’t too heavy or big to stay pinned to your sheet without ripping it. You can also sell items from your store throughout the night. Be a tube of toothpaste by dressing all in white and draping a sheet over you. Paint stripes and letters or cut them out of felt or construction paper and glue them to the sheet to mimic your favorite brand. Wear a white pleated lampshade on your head as the toothpaste cap. If you’re really feeling ambitious, you could sew a hula-hoop into a hem at the bottom to give the bottom of the toothpaste the illusion of being fuller.

Everyone Has a Story:

The Haunting of Devereux Hall By Mallory Diefenbach Star News Writer

Group, Chautauqua Region Community Foundation, Fessenden, Laumer & DeAngelo; Jamestown Cycle Shop, Honest John’s, Morton Club and Kendall Club PBA. Students from Jamestown High School Key Club, Jamestown High School

Nestled between the city of Olean and the village of Alleghany lies St. Bonaventure University. This small Franciscan college has been around for 153 years and caters to about 2000 undergrads and 500 graduate students. Due to its long history, it should come to as no surprise this small Catholic college is wrapped up in talks of the paranormal. If one were to ask any student or faculty member on campus what the most haunted building on the grounds was, they Honor Society, and Jamestown would helpfully point out Devereux Hall, a residential Community College Student Ambassadors helped fill candy dorm and the second oldest existing building. There are bags. Other volunteers and as many paranormal stories members of the Parks Comwhich haunt the dorm as there mission will be adding their are ghosts. support to the event. The most popular tale that haunts Devereux Hall revolves around a small group of students who attempted to conduct a Black Mass back in the 1960s. The legend starts on Halloween. A small group of students had become bored, and they decided to steal unconsecrated host from the campus’ sacristy. Along with some books on how to conduct a Black Mass, they brought the unholy wafers up to the 5th ﬂoor. They had managed to draw a pentagram and get halfway through their ceremony when they were interrupted by one of the friars. Due to the ceremony being disrupted halfway, the portal into the demonic realm the students had created remained opened. Whispers of ghosts, demons and even Satan himself crossing the threshold into the living world via the portal soon engulfed the campus. Fr. Alphonsus Trabold O.F.M,

an exorcist who taught theology at the university for 30 years, was reported to have said nothing unusual had happened due to the Black Mass. This is due to for a real Black Mass to occur, there needs to be a prostitute. A fallen priest generally attends as well. This, as well as some other key elements, was not present in the students’ ceremony. Whatever the case, the 5th floor was locked up shortly after the incident and the guilty students were expelled. To this day nobody is allowed up on the 5th floor. Fire hazards have been cited, but some students remain skeptical. Alex Lyndsley, a freshman studying biology at St. Bonaventure, has heard another story concerning 5th floor Devereux. It takes place a decade before the alleged Black Mass, back

when the infamous football team of Bonaventure was still around. Bonaventure’s football team reportedly had a bad losing streak. It was after one particular bad defeat that the entire team allegedly marched up to 5th Devereux and decided to end it “because they couldn’t take it anymore.” While St. Bonaventure University did use to have a football team in the past, it is highly unlikely that they now haunt the top ﬂoor due to a large losing streak. These are just two of the more popular stories which surround Devereux. Other rumors concerning the supernatural haunt Devereux and other buildings on campus. And with Halloween just around the corner, the spirits haunting St. Bonaventure University can only get livelier.

When you go to the voting booth on November 8th this year you will have an opportunity to send a strong message to the Chautauqua County Legislature. A proposition on the ballot will ask you to approve a local law amending the County Charter, which will require that future redistricting plans reduce the size of the County Legislature to no greater than 19 members. In the past 40 years our county’s population has declined by 12,400, from its peak of 147,305 in 1970 to 134,905 in the 2010 US Census. Yet the County Legislature remains a 25-member body.

of those whom we have elected to positions of leadership have not demonstrated their willingness to tackle this issue, with some notable exceptions. We congratulate the lawmakers, both Democrats and Republicans, who have tried, unsuccessfully, to get the reduction approved. By making a series of difficult decisions in the past decade, a countywide Chamber was formed encompassing all of the smaller community Chambers of Commerce. In the past three years the Manufacturers Association of the Southern Tier consolidated services into the County Chamber of Commerce as well. As an organization, we have demonstrated leadership in order to increase efficiencies, save money, and improve the business climate in Chautauqua County. There will be minimal financial savings for the county by downsizing the legislature. But as the business community continues to cry out for tax relief and the reduction of layers of taxing entities, we are seeking leadership. The County Legislature must be reduced in order to set a precedent for additional governmental agencies. The next move is up to you, the voter. We can no longer afford business as usual, and we strongly encourage a “yes” vote on this proposition.

You Auto Know

Tax Matters

Starting a Business with the End in Mind

By Kelly Haggmark Contributing Writer

Richard White, General Manager of Jim White’s Truck and Auto Center, shares his automotive expertise from a lifetime spent in the auto industry. What I know sitting on the opposite side of the desk, you auto know… Should I fix my old car or should I buy a different car? Like all my answers, I will answer with a conditional that depends. With the current economic climate, people are seriously considering how and when they spend their money. It is always wise to consider these questions, not only when times are tough. People tend to be driven by their emotions when making purchases or spending discretionary income. I always suggest to people that owe money on their current vehicle to try and payoff their loan prior to trading it in. It seldom makes fiscal sense to trade too early and rollover any negative equity into the next purchase. Sooner or later, usually sooner, it will bite you. Many customers finance their auto for 60 or 72 months, and then are looking to trade in after only owning the vehicle for 2 to 3 years. On a typical 60 month loan, the vehicle owner does not start to accumulate positive equity in their car until somewhere between year 3 and year 4. And, that’s if they do not drive excessive miles, they do keep the car well maintained, and the automotive market has not had major negative adjustments to values. Review each cost of a major repair. How much will it cost? Will there be more major repairs upcoming? If you make the repair, how many more months will you expect to be able to drive the vehicle? What is the average cost per month for repair? For example, if you spend $1000, and that allows you to get another year out of your vehicle, that’s $83/month. Does it make more sense to make the repair or to put that same $1000 down on your current loan or as down payment on the next vehicle? Write down the advantages and disadvantages on a piece of paper. Ask someone who is knowledgeable in these matters that you trust. I would not recommend asking most auto dealers because you will get a very biased answer. You can always ask me, and whether it makes me a sale or not, I will give you the straight answer. Please direct any questions that you would like addressed in this column to my email (rwhite@jimwhites. com).

October 27, 2011 Edition – Main Section – A

When you start your own business, you should begin by planning for the end and work your way to the beginning. Ask yourself a few questions. What do you want to do with the business when you retire? Do you want to leave the business to a child or grandchild? Will you include family in the

business ownership, grooming future generations to take over and continue your legacy? Do you plan to sell the business and use the proceeds for your retirement? Will you have employees and hope to transition the business through stock purchase to a long-time employee? Answers to these questions are important and will help you develop your business plan. So why is it important to think of the end when you begin? Here are some examples. What are you going to name the business? If you plan to hand the business down to future generations, you may want to include the family name in the business name. If you plan to

sell the business, the family name is not a good choice. The form of business, incorporated, partnership, limited liability Company, or sole proprietor, may depend on future plans also. Will you structure your business as a private company, closely held or do you plan to go public and offer stock for sale? Succession planning is important from the very beginning and requires some advice from legal and tax professionals. The business you build will require a great deal of your time and personal financial risk. Protecting your investment from the beginning should not be something you ignore. Even if you plan to start out small,

you’d be surprised how fast assets accumulate and how valuable your business can become in the short-term. Income tax and estate planning should be part of your business planning. Sometimes business owners build a stable customer base and maintain high value inventories with no succession plan if something happens to them. Do you know what would happen to your business and all of its assets including accounts receivable and inventory if you were no longer here? Have a plan, be prepared, and do so from the very start before it is too late so you and those that depend on you can rest assured you have taken care of your business and how

it relates to your personal life as well. Kelly Haggmark is the owner of Haggmark Tax Service and is currently an Enrolled Agent enrolled to practice before the Internal Revenue Service. She has 20 years of experience in the fields of tax, accounting, and auditing and is a member of the Jamestown Community College Adjunct Faculty as an entrepreneurship instructor.

Der Kobblers Car Show Benefits WCA Diabetes Education Contributed Article WCA Hospital

Members of the Der Kobblers Automobile Association recently donated $550, proceeds for their 2011 Labor Day Cruise-In Car Show at Midway Park, to the WCA Hospital Diabetes Self-Management Program. This gift will enable WCA the ability to purchase pedometers and food models which will allow the Diabetes educators to better teach clients about the importance of exercise, goal setting, and healthy food choices. “The diabetes education provided by WCA Hospital is critical to this community,” explains Bill Hazenberg, Der Kobblers Board member. “Der Kobblers is pleased to fund these invaluable educational resources so that patients can live a longer and healthier life.” Over the last four years, Der Kobblers has donated over $3,500 to WCA Hospital. These gifts have been used to purchase educational videos, books, CDs, a laptop, television, and ancillary patient education support resources, as well as furnish the diabetes teaching classrooms.

“The commitment and generosity of Der Kobblers has enabled us to provide additional valuable resources which empower our patients to take charge of their health,” explains Kathy Krieg, R.N. and WCA Hospital Certified Diabetes Educator. “Their gifts have made it possible for us to offer a wider selection of teaching tools which allows us to better meet each individual patient’s needs.” Type 2 Diabetes Currently, one in ten Americans has Type 2 diabetes. But if new cases develop as projected, its prevalence could double or triple over the next forty years. In the United States, one in three people will have Type 2 diabetes by 2050 if current trends continue. These projections highlight the need for interventions to keep the number of new cases from climbing. Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes, and is triggered by a combination of unchangeable factors, such as family history and race, and controllable factors, such as obesity and inactivity. It’s also the seventh leading cause of death in the United States and is the leading cause of leg and

foot amputations, kidney failure, and new cases of blindness in adults under age 75. Because people are living longer, more cases are likely to come from older people. The percentage of people ages 65 and older with diabetes is expected to increase; it was 12.4 percent in 2000, but will be 19.6 percent in 2030. WCA Hospital Diabetes SelfManagement Program The WCA Hospital Diabetes Self-Management Program, located in the WCA Lake-

wood Health Center (across from the Chautauqua Mall), offers individual and group education services from initial consultation to follow-up teaching and guidance. The program helps clients develop a healthy lifestyle through exercise, weight management, and medication therapy. The program allows instructors to customize teaching plans for each client. For those newly diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, two classes are scheduled twice a month. The WCA Hospital Diabetes Education Program

has been recognized by the American Diabetes Association since 2000 for providing quality education that meet all national standards for diabetes self-management.

Social Security Announces Cummins Community Involvement Team 3.6 Percent Benefit Increase Speaks To Rotary for 2012 Contributed Article Cost-of-Living Adjustment is First Since 2009

Contributed Article James Redmond

Monthly Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits for more than 60 million Americans will increase 3.6 percent in 2012, the Social Security Administration announced today. The 3.6 percent cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) will begin with benefits that nearly 55 million Social Security beneficiaries receive in January 2012. Increased payments to more than 8 million SSI beneficiaries will begin on December 30, 2011. Some other changes that take effect in January of each year are based on the increase in average wages. Based on

that increase, the maximum amount of earnings subject to the Social Security tax (taxable maximum) will increase to $110,100 from $106,800. Of the estimated 161 million workers who will pay Social Security taxes in 2012, about 10 million will pay higher taxes as a result of the increase in the taxable maximum. Information about Medicare changes for 2012, when announced, will be available at www.Medicare.gov. For some beneficiaries, their Social Security increase may be partially or completely offset by increases in Medicare premiums. The Social Security Act provides for how the COLA is calculated.

“Making people’s lives better by unleashing the power of Cummins” is the mission of Cummins Engine Plant. The power isn’t limited to diesel engines but the everyday lives of Cummins employees as they actively participate in their communities. The core values of the company are reﬂected in the goals of the Community Involvement Team including integrity, innovation as well as delivering their best efforts, products and service to the community. Cummins founder, J. Irwin Miller, who led the company from 1918 to 1977, said corporate responsibility centered on two questions: How does the company impact society and how does society impact the company? With 25,000 to 35,000 employees worldwide, Cummins can leverage this enormous asset to serve communities the company is a part of. In 1954, the philanthropic Cummins Foun-

dation was founded to serve education, the environment and to pursue social justice for the purpose of improving the human condition. Each Cummins employee is offered four paid hours to devote to a community project. Last year 911 hours during an 8 week period aided the Chautauqua Lake Association in cleaning 7 million pounds of lake weeds. They also assisted in a community recycling day and with Audubon and YWCA clean-up days. Other pro-

grams they have participated in include English as a Second Language, domestic violence awareness, child advocacy and projects at the Prendergast Library. The goal for 2011 is 3,600 hours of employee community involvement time. The vocational speaker for the meeting was Leslie Hoisington, Communication Manager for Buffamante Whipple Buttafaro. She is responsible for internal and external communication and marketing for the firm.

BBBC to Hold Reception Events for Students, Big Read Participants

Contributed Article Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce

The Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce in conjunction with Buster Brown Bean Company will be holding a reception for students who created works inspired by this year’s Big Read, which features the short stories and poems of Edgar Allan Poe. Community members are invited to meet the artists and enjoy fresh baked goods. The exhibit reception is being held this Friday, October 21st at 6:00 p.m. at the Bistro, 33 Church Street, Fredonia. Students from Professor Jill Johnston’s Intro to 2D Animation class created a two-minute black and white line drawn animation based on Edgar Allan Poe’s poem “The

Raven.” Each student’s section contains approximately 120 drawings (eight seconds of screen time) and repeats as an endless cycle. Media used were paper, pencils, pens, brushes, ink washes, created on individual light tables and scanned into the computer for final output. This work is ongoing at the Bistro through the month of October. “The Raven” was created by student artists: Andrew Carter, Stephanie Casella, Matt Corrigan, Taylor Hultquist, Hyo Jin (Erica) Kang, Brittany Morelli, Sarah Peck, Ariana Tressel-Orner, Lindsey Alfred, Jessica Winner, Zakiyah Woodson. Students from Prof. Jill Johnston’s Intermediate Illustration class have created detailed storyboard panel adaptions of Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Black Cat.” Each

student created a 12-panel image sequence with black and white media using either analog, digital, or tradigital processes that were printed and mounted on boards. This work is also ongoing through the month of October at the Bistro. “The Black Cat” was created by student artists: Patrick Condon, Stacey Gawel, Brian Hathaway, William Lauko, Mary Kate Lynch, Christine McMullen, Brittany Morelli, Sarah Peck, Nadiya Romanyuk, Carlos Sanchez, Mayumi Tanoue, Ariana Tressel-Orner, George Wagner.

Hultquist Foundation Makes $1M Grant Funds donated to WCA Hospital for New Emergency Department

Contributed Article WCA Hospital

The Hultquist Foundation recently made a second $500,000 grant to WCA Hospital to support Sharing the Gift of Health: The Capital Campaign for Our Emergency Department. In addition to a $500,000 grant the Jamestown-based foundation had already made in 2009, this brings its total capital campaign support to $1 million. “The Hultquist Foundation, carrying on the tradition of the Hultquist family, recognizes that WCA Hospital is vitally important to the health and well-being of the entire Chautauqua Region,” says Tom Flowers, President of the Hultquist Foundation. “Understanding that a new Emergency Department is critical to the future of our community and our community hospital, the Hultquist Foundation firmly believes that a $1 million investment in this capital project is warranted.” “We could not be more pleased to receive these tremendous grants,” says Betsy Wright, President and CEO of WCA Hospital. “On behalf of the entire WCA Family, we are grateful to the Hultquist Foundation and we honor the legacy of the Hultquist family. Civic-minded individuals like the Hultquists have shared a forward-looking vision for our community. This shared vision and our community’s generosity has enabled us to begin construction on our 21st century Emergency Department as we look forward with great anticipation to

The principal, Mr. Todd A. Crandall, of Fredonia High School announced today that Michael Fridmann has been named a Commended Student in the 2012 National Merit Scholarship Program. A Letter of Commendation from the school and National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC), which conducts the program, will be presented by the principal to this scholastically talented senior. About 34,000 Commended Students throughout the nation are being recognized for their exceptional academic promise. Although they will not continue in the 2012 competition for National Merit Scholarships, Commended Students placed among the top five percent of more than 1.5 million students who entered the 2012 competition by taking

the 2010 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT). “The young men and women being named Commended Students have demonstrated outstanding potential for academic success,” commented a spokesperson for NMSC. “These students represent a valuable national resource;

recognizing their accomplishments, as well as the key role their schools play in their academic development, is vital to the advancement of educational excellence in our nation. We hope that this recognition will help broaden their educational opportunities and encourage them as they continue their pursuit of academic success.”

Children’s Concerts Series Continues Season

To join with Fredonia School of Music Guitar Quartet on Nov. 5 The Musical Journeys Program of the Fredonia School of Music continues its sixth season of free concerts designed to appeal to very young children. Selected student ensembles from the Fredonia School of Music will perform half-hour Children’s Concerts on four Saturday mornings with two performances at 10:30 a.m. and 11:30 am on Saturday, Nov. 5 in the Dunkirk Free Library, 536 Central Avenue, Dunkirk. Planned with the help of SUNY Fredonia faculty who are experts in music and education, the concerts are designed to introduce very young audiences (from infants to 6-year-olds) to musical instruments. The child-friendly environment will invite the children to sit on the ﬂoor close to the musicians; family members are encouraged to bring blankets or carpet squares to sit on. Strollers can be parked around the edges of the seating area. “It is wonderful to see the college student’s enjoyment performing for the children, and to see the energy and excitement the children give in return. This venue gives preschool children a great chance to get close to the musicians and the music; to really participate and experience music intended just for them,” said Sarah Hamilton, associate professor of oboe and co-organizer.

The Fredonia Guitar Quartet will perform at the Nov. 5 concert. The musicians are Fredonia School of Music students Michael Mendoza of Buffalo, Mario Rubano of Farrell, Anthony LaLena of East Northport and Jahzeel Montes of New York. “The Children’s Concerts are enjoyable, child-appropriate opportunities for very young children to interact with music and musicians. For the young audience and the performers, music becomes a playmate to join in a thrilling adventure.” said Jill Reese, assistant professor of music and co-organizer at the Fredonia School of Music. “During these events, learning and teaching among the children and the student musicians is mutual: children learn about music through

moving, listening, and creating, and our student musicians learn to engage young imaginations and ignite new musical passions!” Upcoming Children’s Concerts will be held on Mar. 3, 2012 at the Darwin R. Barker Library in Fredonia featuring the African Drumming Ensemble; and Apr. 21, 2012 at the Dunkirk Free Library featuring the Fredonia Hot Club (Gypsy Jazz Combo). The Children’s Concert Series is part of the Musical Journeys Program, a community outreach project offered by the Fredonia School of Music.

Stay Safe!

Randy DeVaul

After three years of writing this weekly column, it is time to move on as life continues to provide changes and we continue to adapt to those

changes. It has been enjoyable for me in many ways: to think I have a ‘readership’ is kind of cool, and, to hope that I have made an impact on decisions and activities that have helped you and your family stay safe is an incredible thought. So, we’re going to end the column in the same way it began. The purpose of this column has been to ‘protect you and yours in and from your home.’ Here are the top three types of home-related injuries that cause serious injury and/or death and reminders of how to keep you and your family from experiencing these tragic events.

Regardless of age, the most common injury at home is falling. Slips and trips due to wet ﬂoors, toys and other sundry ‘extraneous materials’ and, yes, even the dog, contribute to this category of injury but the most common cause with the greatest impact (no pun intended) is the sudden stop when falling from an elevation. Whether falling off a ladder, falling off a chair that we are trying to use as a ladder, or falling off the counter because we didn’t want to get a ladder, those sudden stops can be down right fatal! Taking an extra moment to ensure you are climbing something that is intended to be

climbed and keeping you there for as long as you want to be there will save your life, your wallet, and your quality of life! The second most common type of injury is poisoning. Yes, this is mostly related to young children and it happens way too often. Whether a parent or grandparent, look for hazards at ‘kid-level’ so you can address them. Cleaning solvents and sprays, detergents, bleach, bug sprays, and other poisonous products should be stored so younguns can’t reach or open them. Don’t forget medications that might be on night stands or bathroom sinks. And, watch

what and how much you spray to kill that ﬂy in the kitchen. Aerosol spray patterns ends up on counter tops, in food on the stove, or already on plates ready to serve. The third most common hazard is fire or burns. As this month is national fire month, we again remind everyone to check batteries in smoke detectors while visually inspecting supplemental heaters and fuels for positioning away from curtains, toys, area rugs, and other items that can easily ignite if too close to the heat source. Keep a kitchen fire extinguisher close by and easily accessible to the stove. Keep pan

handles ‘in’ so hands of any age can’t accidentally knock the grease or hot contents onto our clothes, skin, or eyes. Hot water scalds are also part of this category, as well. Do the right things that will keep you and yours safe and drop me an email to tell me how you are doing.

Scrapbooking Today Product Review: 4” X 6” Photo Printer

By Anne Walterich Contributing Writer

Planning ahead is not one of my strengths. I’m a fabulous list-maker and conceptual thinker, but not very structured when it comes to designing my scrapbook pages. I like to let the page create itself, not follow a predetermined path. Spontaneity is key to my style. Occasionally, I’ll use a service like Snapfish (Snapfish.com) or Persnickety Prints (PersnicketyPrints.com) to print several photos that I know I will design a page around, but most times I’ll print at home to use my photos immediately on a traditional paper layout. Naturally, I was disappointed when my 4” X 6” HP printer dispensed its final print earlier this summer, immediately after I had purchased a new, expensive refill cartridge for it. My instant gratification came to an inky, sloppy, fourlettered halt. Using our home 8.5” X 11” printer produced an acceptable

result for temporary photo projects not intended to be archival, but was sub-par for long-term prints. I had resigned myself to designing a page using a “practice” photo and replacing it with a high-quality print later on. First-world problems, indeed. Over the weekend my thoughtful, intelligent, incredibly good-looking boyfriend (Hi, Jim!) presented me with an unexpected surprise: a Canon SELPHY CP800 Color Dye Sublimation Photo printer. Happy 33rd Birthday to ME! After just one print, I no longer missed my HP. The paper and ink cartridges are easy to install. The heat-transfer ink is a tri-color “film” that is dispensed, one color at a time, onto the specialized photo paper, followed by an archival clear coat to seal the print. I was impressed with the speed, the quality of the colors and crispness of the print. What

I liked the most is knowing that once the ink and paper is gone, it is gone – it only prints a finite number of pages, and the ink cartridges and paper are packaged together just for this. No more sub-par prints as a liquid inkjet cartridge runs out! The options available right on the printer itself, without a computer, were my favorite feature. The SELPHY CP800 offers the options of borderless or bordered printing, several “credit card” sized photos on one sheet, facial recognition, red-eye correction and back light image optimization. This was optimal for the photos on

my memory card from a wedding the night before, where the low light had darkened the faces on my image. The easy-to-use menus made these simple corrections for a beautiful print. I also like the option of printing from a USB memory stick or from my camera itself, which was not available on the HP. I didn’t try any of the color options of Black & White, Sepia, Vivid and Neutral in addition to the Positive Film, but it’s nice to have it available for versatility. The 2.5” LCD ﬂipup screen shows the preview image, and though I would likely try these options on my computer in a photo-editing program I like knowing I can make these simple changes on the printer itself. Additional accessories available for purchase include a Bluetooth connection and a battery pack. I don’t anticipate ever needing to print a photo directly from my phone, or in a power outage, so I won’t

be buying these. I can see how they would be useful to have in a disaster situation, though, like the earthquake in Haiti last year, where identifying missing children was an immediate crisis, power was unavailable for weeks and special effects were not a high priority. The only drawbacks I saw in the reviews on the Canon website were about the cost for the ink and cartridge packages, but I think that those folks must have paid full retail price and not shopped online. The SELPHY CP800 retails for $99.99, with refill packages from $35 for 108 photos. Online retailers like Amazon. com, ebay.com and B&H Photo (bhphotovideo.com) have better pricing, no sales tax and free shipping. To make this purchase, it’s definitely better to plan ahead. I’m working on that. How do you print your photos at home – from your camera or your computer? Do you prefer to order them from a

retailer and pick them up in the store or do you use an online photo printing service? Why? Send your thoughts to awalterich@sunsetscrapbooks. com and you may be featured in an upcoming column. This week’s pick : Canon SELPHY CP800 Photo Printer. The best birthday gift since my last one. This useful, superiorquality home photo printer will be used easily and often for my scrapbooking. I prefer it to any inkjet photo printers I’ve ever used, and it will make a great gift for the scrapbooker or photo enthusiast in your life. Anne Walterich is the owner of Sunset Scrapbooks, a photo preservation and album design service. When not enthusiastically printing her photos at home on her new Canon SELPHY CP800 Photo Printer, she can be found online at SunsetScrapbooks.com.

Keeping the Faith

By Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church of Chautauqua County

Dear Pastor, does God care about material things? I would like to continue answering your question by asking, “Is it God’s will for us to be blessed with material things?” Before I get started on today’s answer, I feel the need to reiterate that money and possessions are not evil in themselves. To God, it’s our motives and attitudes concerning wealth that are important. What we share today does not cancel out the warnings in the Bible about covetousness or

greed. The Bible declares that it is God’s desire to bless His children with wealth but He also desires for them to have a spiritually mature attitude towards these blessings. In Matthew 6:33, Jesus said, “But seek first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you.” In the verses previous to this scripture (Matthew 6:25-32), Jesus admonished us not to be worried or focus our attention on material things. He didn’t say that

wanting these things is bad… but that it shouldn’t be our primary focus! Jesus said in verse 32 that God knows that you need material things to live (i.e. money, food, clothes). In these verses Jesus gave us the secret to having our needs supernaturally supplied by God. The secret is to seek and worship Him with honor and reverence in church and in our daily lives. When we put God first in our lives and focus our minds and hearts on Him and His will, He will provide

us with the things we need… His way! Another scripture that comes to mind is Philippians 4:19 which tells us, “God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” Notice that in both references the Bible says all! Having all means “nothing lacking or missing.” It also tells us where the supply comes from…Him! God is a good God who desires that we come to Him with our needs so that He can be our provider and

take care of us as His children. He has promised in His Word that whatever we ask for, whatever we need…He will give it because of His great desire to take care of us (Matthew 7:711) as our Father! Next week we will see that God not only wants our own needs met, but He wants us to have extra provisions in order to bless others in need!

Remember: Dross is the impurities that come to the surface when heat and pressure are applied. Some people start to become bitter and mean when they have less money than they once had. Maybe they lose their job and the financial pressure gives way to emotional abuse towards their spouse and children. That’s dross. Or maybe their marriage isn’t going the best and they start to look for other means to please themselves sexually. They start to criticize their spouse and say hurtful things. That’s dross. Sometimes people start to worry about a pain in their body. Thoughts bombard their mind and they become

convinced they have something bad before they even see a doctor. That worry is making things worse. It came to the surface. It’s dross. I’ve even seen people get grumpy if they are hungry! That’s dross. You must learn to skim it off the top and gain victory. Come forth as a vessel for the finer! This is where faith is forged. This is where you say, “He is my refuge, my fortress, my God in Whom I trust!” (Ps 91:2) Remove the negativity. Resist the temptation to be mean. Dig into God’s Word and pass through the ﬂames and stop living in them.

The Weekly Word Discovering the Dross in You

Rev. Tim Stahlman Family Church of the Southern Tier

Character ﬂaws are easily hidden when things are going smoothly. But when circumstances intensify and life begins to turn up the heat,

that’s when you discover your true knowledge of God. Godliness and faith are the result of forgoing the opportunity to be desperate and disappointed. Holiness is the product of choosing God over every feeling in your body. Will you continue to believe when every emotion in your being is telling you not to? Heat and pressure will unveil faith or failure. Proverbs 25:4 says, “Take away the DROSS from the silver and there shall come forth a vessel for the finer.” So what is dross you wonder? Dross is any impurity that is discovered in a metal when

it is molten. After the metal is exposed to extreme heat, the dross will ﬂoat to the top where the refiner can then skim the impurities off the top and produce a greater product. This is an illustration of our lives and we despise the truth that we learn here: Fire is needed. Not only is fire needed it is required to bring forth a greater vessel. It’s amazing to me that we typically resent the circumstances that are making us great. Greatness is discovered in the fire. But the fire doesn’t reveal the dross for the sake of keeping it. The dross is revealed so that the impurities can be removed. Once the dross is removed the

fire can be quenched, at least for a time and a great valuable vessel is the result. But many of God’s people are not skillful in the test. The dross is discovered and then it remains. No change is made. So what happens? The fire continues until the test is passed. God is not the one making the fire hotter. God never opposes you. (Rom 8:31) However, as long as the impurities remain, the vessel will “feel” the effects of the fire more than he who has allowed himself to be purified. All of us will face the same trials. But those who have removed the dross will feel the effects less. What is your dross?

We’re looking forward to having it used and enjoyed.” Organizations, individuals or groups interested in reserving the assembly room are encouraged to contact the Y at 326.2011 to make their plans. Babysitting Clinic The YWCA recently offered a

Red Cross babysitting clinic and another list of interested students is being created. “We work with the Red Cross to offer these classes several times a year,” reported Katie Smith, “but there needs to be enough kids to make a class worthwhile.” Classes are scheduled on a Saturday and run from 9am – 3 pm, there is a cost involved but scholarship money and grants are often available. Anyone interested in the babysitting clinic is encourage to call the YWCA at 326.2011 and be put on the waiting list. There is no cost or obligation associated with the list. Make and Take Based on interest - the YWCA is exploring offering the popular “Make and Take” classes again – with a new twist. Individuals would be invited to bring their craft supplies, the YWCA would provide some and class leaders would help the participants create something out of the supplies on hand. Right now the YWCA is looking for talented people who would be interested in being group leaders and the individuals interested in creating something. “Once we gauge the interest level and determine who could teach these classes we’d set a schedule and move forward.” Reported Michelle Sunday-Warner, administrative assistant at the Y. “Call, talk with us about your thoughts and ideas and we can complete the plans for this class.” She concluded. Those interested are encouraged to call the YWCA at 326.2011.

Chautauqua County Humane Society Pet of the Week

One Year Later, Fredonia-Southwestern Renew Rivalry With Title Spot On Line By Chris Winkler

Star Sports Editor

Only 359 days later, the colossal rematch between two Section VI powers will finally commence. The No. 5-ranked Fredonia Hillbillies (8-0) will meet the No. 13 Southwestern Trojans (7-1) Friday night at 7:30 p.m. — at Dunkirk High School — for the first time since last year’s Class C Final that saw Fredonia snap Southwestern’s 38-game winning streak. “This is what high school football is all about,” Fredonia head coach Bob Ball said. “This game is going to be great for the area, great for the fans and it’s really a disappointment that it isn’t at the stadium.” This year the stakes aren’t as high, but they certainly are pretty close. The winner will head to Ralph Wilson Stadium next Friday night to play in Class C’s championship with the winner heading to the state playoffs. “The rivalry is a good thing,” Ball said. “It means both schools are playing well.” Of course, these two schools are well familiar with each other, splitting the last four games since 2007, while competing in the same division (C South) the last two seasons. This year, Fredonia was moved to C North, squashing any fans’ hopes of a rematch. “(Southwestern head coach) Jay (Sirianni) and I both talked about how disappointing it was that we wouldn’t play in the regular season,” Ball said. “But we both knew there was a good a chance this game would happen sometime down the road, and now it’s finally here, Friday night.” Fredonia comes in undefeated and hasn’t lost a Section VI game since they fell to Southwestern in Week 6 last season. Of course, after the Hillbillies got their revenge in the championship, they kept on winning all the way until the state semi-finals. Now, it’s Southwetern’s turn for revenge, although even a year later, revenge isn’t what motivates the Trojans. “Those were two different teams that played two classic games last year,” Sirianni said. “Even though there are a couple of players who played in those games left over, both teams are totally different. This team has to play for this year and their goal is to compete for a sectional championship. Regardless of what happened in the past, none of that matters on Friday night.” The same goes for Ball, but he still said how the emphasis is on his team. “We never worry about what the other team is thinking,” Ball said. “It’s the same as Cleve Hill earlier in the year when we visited them. We knew they wanted to beat us after we beat them up pretty good in the playoffs last season. We have to focus on us.” When Fredonia has the ball The Hillbillies have been a well-oiled machine this year, easily moving the ball via the run or the pass when-

Connor Farnham (No. 23 Fredonia) got the Hillbillies going last week with a pair of 50-plus yard touchdown runs in the first quarter in Fredonia’s 42-6 quarterfinal win over Cassadaga Valley. Meanwhile, Jake Swan (No. 9 Southwestern) has been the Trojans’ Mr. Do-it-all.

ever they want. Quarterback Connor Farnham has done a tremendous job taking over the reins from last year’s star quarterback Shane Smith. Farnham got Fredonia moving with back-to-back 50plus yard touchdown runs in the first quarter of their 42-6 quarterfinal win against Cassadaga Valley last week. “That was important,” Ball said referring to his team’s quick start. “You always want to score on your first possession and that got us going. We always have confidence with the ball, but that certainly added to the confidence level for the rest of the game.” But it hasn’t just been one week or one

player. Running backs Dylan Cassidy and Zach Buckley give the team a quality speed and power combination. Out wide, sophomore Weston Ley has been one of the best wide receivers in the league, hauling in a league-high nine touchdowns. “They’re very balanced,” Sirianni said. “That is the key to a good team because it makes teams tough to defend. Their skill players are very impressive, especially Ley and Cassidy. Not to mention the O-line has experience and are well coached.” Of course the Southwestern defense is no slouch. The Trojans have allowed

just 26 points in their last four games since losing to Salamanca. However, one of those four touchdowns came on a kick return and only one them has come in the first half. “I think our linebackers and defensive line have improved steadily throughout the year,” Sirianni said. “Even in our loss to Salamanca, I think our defense played well. We just want them to be prepared when they step on the field and are able to make adjustments as the game goes on.” Well might be an understatement and Ball certainly knows what his team is up against. “They’ve been playing excellent defense,” Ball said. “But again, the emphasis is on us. We have to realize what kind of defense they’re playing, but it is up to us to execute the plays and if we do that, we’ll be OK.” When Southwestern has the ball Interestingly, this isn’t the matchup many are thinking about, but that’s usually what ends up deciding the game. Not that the Southwestern offense or the Fredonia defense aren’t good, it’s just their counterparts on the other side of the ball steal the headlines. “We have been improving each week,” Sirianni said. “What more can a coach ask for?

Jamestown Sneaks By Lockport, Plays Ken West In AA Semi’s By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

It wasn’t pretty, but the Jamestown Red Raiders fought through a rain-soaked Strider Field Friday night and took out the Lockport Lions 10-6 to advance to Class AA’s semifinals. “We made uncharacteristic mistakes,” Jamestown head coach Tom Langworthy said. “We’re getting back to playing Jamestown Red Raider football.” It was a bit uncharacteristic as Jamestown turned the ball over time and time again finding a new way to put the ball on the ground seemingly every time. A bad snap, a tough hit, or just flat out not holding on to the ball led to five Jamestown fumbles. Two of which put Lockport in the Jamestown red zone, but both times saw the Red Raider defense come up with stops and turnovers of their own. “Our defense has been solid all year

long,” Langworthy said. “We have confidence in them and they again stepped up and made big plays when it counted the most. I’m proud of them.” Of course the offense will get back a familiar face this week when they take

on the Kenmore West Blue Devils (7-1) as senior quarterback Dennis Drew is set to return after missing the last two games. In his place, freshman Zach Panebianco filled in and piled up big numbers against Clarence, but struggled a little bit in the Lockport game.

“Zach did a fantastic job,” Langworthy said. “I couldn’t be more proud of him. He did everything we asked out of him.” The freshman, however, will give way to Drew, who Langworthy hopes can spark the offense after a miserable day in the rain last Friday. “The main thing is Dennis has a lot of experience,” he said. “It will certainly be a calming influence on our offense and he’s excited to be back. It’s going to allow us to open up the entire playbook, too” That should be a good thing as the Jamestown offense could only muster three points last weekend because of all of the turnovers. Three separate times the Red Raiders got inside the Lockport 10-yard line, all of which ended without a score. Twice Jamestown turned the ball over and another they ran out of time as the first half expired with the Red Raiders on the 2-yard line. Regardless, they battled and won. Mike Continued on pg 2

FREDONIA PLAYOFFS continued from pg 1

as we were at the beginning of the season.” Southwestern is led by the doit-all running back Jake Swan. To put it simply, Swan is going to find the end zone one way or the other. It might be on defense, it might be on special teams and it might even be on the receiving end of a pass from Jake Pilling. More than likely though, he’ll find a way to take a handoff to the end zone. “Jake (Swan) has been our constant,” Sirianni said. “But everyone around him has been getting better and it shows in our performance, especially on the Offensive Line.” Swan scored the Trojans’ first three touchdowns in their quarterfinal win against JFK. He ran the first two, then returned an

interception for the third. “He’ll be All-WNY and AllState for a reason,” Ball said. “He’s a quick, smart kid and we have a tremendous amount of respect for him. He’s a very high quality player and we know he’s the guy that we have to focus in on their gameplan.” Getting to the Stadium Both coaches were disappointed to have this game come in the semi-finals, but don’t expect a soft game from either team with a spot at Ralph Wilson Stadium on the line. “We are grateful to be in this position,” Sirianni said. “We earned a trip to the semi-finals. There aren’t many teams still playing football right now, so again, we are excited to be in

this position.” Of course, for a game begging to be played at the stadium, perhaps a trip to the stadium is a fitting reward. At the very least, we know the playing conditions won’t be a problem regardless of the weather with the game being played on Dunkirk High School’s new field turf. Regardless, it’s a game for the ages. “This is the playoff game everybody has been wanting to see,” Ball said. “I’d pay a dollar just to see one quarter of this game.” As for how each team can win, both coaches kept it pretty simple. “We have to execute,” Ball said. “Whoever executes the gameplan the best and commits the fewest mistakes is going to win.”

JAMESTOWN PLAYOFFS continued from pg 1 Watson’s fumble recovery and touchdown on Lockport’s opening drive was actually enough to win the game. Now, they’ll head to Kenmore in hopes of reaching the sectional final. Ken West employs a power, runat-all-times offense. They’ll pack two tight ends on the line and store a full house in the backfield. “They have two 1,000-yard rushers,” Langworthy said. “We’ll use the extra day this week of preparation to prepare for stopping the run.”

Jamestown gets that extra day because Ken West plays their home games on Saturday, where the Red Raiders have played all but one of their games on Friday night this season. What’s at stake Saturday, though, is what Langworthy and his players have been waiting all season long for. Last year Jamestown lost in the semifinals to Orchard Park. In 2008, they lost to Niagara-Wheatfield in the semifinals. They’ve been here before, but as Langworthy has said all season long, the team’s

goals were to win all of their home games — check — and get to Ralph Wilson Stadium. “We’re one game away,” he said. “We just have to play Jamestown football. We have to impose our will on them instead of letting them do that to us.” With a chance of breaking Jamestown’s long drought of missing the sectional championship, everybody on the roster is raring to go. “This game means a lot to everybody, not just the seniors,” he said. “This is why the players play.

For Sirianni, “If we can stayed balanced defensively, then hopefully we will put ourselves in a good position at the end of the game.” Elsewhere in Class C The upset of the entire section happened here in Class C, as Akron, the fourth-seeded team from the North Division, took out South Division champ Salamanca in fairly easy fashion 20-2. In fact, of the 20 Section VI playoff games, only three road teams (lower seed) won. The other two came within the county with Portville beating Silver Creek (D) and Clymer beating Panama (DD), but even both of those games barely registered as upsets. Thus, the win for the Tigers (5-3) was the most notable in western New York and now

Akron will take on Cleveland Hill (7-1) in the semi-finals. Akron won behind a strong defensive performance and benefited from Salamanca quarterback Tanner John getting injured. Tigers’ QB Austin Mietz threw his first of two touchdowns in the first quarter and when Akron returned a fumble for a touchdown in the second, the upset alert was on. Salamanca got a safety before halftime but couldn’t add points on their ensuing possession. But Mietz’s 87-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter put the game out of reach. As for Cleve Hill, they beat up on Westfield 30-6 to end a nice season for the Wolverines. For the Eagles, they rode the

back of star quarterback Daryl Spencer and Cleve Hill pulled away later to ensure their spot in Class C’s semi-finals. Spencer had three long touchdown runs of 90, 76 and 41. The first opened the scoring and sent the Eagles into the half up 8-0. The last put the game out of reach, 22-6. Spencer ran for 235 yards on the day, although he had 200 on those carries alone, and the Eagles also got 134 yards from Brandon Thomas to put together quite the performance out of the backfield. Now, these two teams will meet for the second time this year (at Depew High School) after Cleve Hill won the first meeting 28-7 in Week 3 in Cheektowaga.

This is why we coach. We’re really looking forward to Saturday. We’re confident and we think we have a great chance to win. It’s going to be a great game.” Elsewhere is Class AA Orchard Park won, but what else is new? The Quakers steamrolled another opponent, this time Niagara-Wheatfield 55-0, which was actually a step down from their 62-0 win against Riverside two weeks ago. Orchard Park is the No. 3 team in the state and the clear favorites

to win Section VI’s title this year. But, standing in their way to get to Ralph Wilson Stadium are the Niagara Falls Wolverines (5-3) who exacted some revenge against Clarence in the quarterfinals. Clarence had beat Niagara Falls 35-0 in Week 3, but with a shorthanded Clarence squad due to numerous suspensions for players violating team rules, the Wolverines took it to the Red Devils behind Paris Scott, who caught three passes, two of which for touchdowns. But, Niagara Falls will now have

the unenviable task of stopping the Quakers. Orchard Park can pretty much move the ball however they like, led by running back Okoya Anderson and dual-threat quarterback David Crowley. I’m not sure what is a tougher task, scoring on the Quakers, or preventing them from scoring. Orchard Park averages a little more than 52 points per game and allows a mere 13. Most of those points, though, seem to come when the game is already in doubt.

By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

A whole lot has changed for these two teams since they last met in Week 1. In that game, Randolph snuck by Frewsburg 27-25 in a game that came down to the wire. Now, almost two months later, those same teams will take the same field in Randolph to decide who will play for the Class D sectional championship next week at Ralph Wilson Stadium. We knew Randolph had a talented, balanced squad that could compete for a league title. What we didn’t know is just how good of a rushing attack the Frewsburg Bears have. Led by Thad Johnson, a possible Class D Offensive Player of the Year — certainly a candidate — the Bears will run at you at all angles. Johnson, who is second in Section VI in rushing yards behind only St. Francis’ Akeel Lynch, (who is off to Boston College next year) spearheads the attack along with junior Devone Adelgren and senior quarterback Preston Wiltsie. Johnson has rushed for 1,372 yards and 15 touchdowns, but also lines up at quarterback in Terry Gray’s offense. He’s thrown for 300 more yards and three touchdowns. As if Johnson wasn’t enough to worry about, Devone Adelgren has rushed for 889 yards and 12 touchdowns. To make things more interesting, Adelgren missed the season opener and is something Randolph hasn’t seen yet. But, Randolph has played much better football since their opener as well. They quickly shrugged off the close win with three consecutive blowouts over Cassadaga Valley, Silver Creek and Portville. After losing to Maple Grove, they crushed International Prep (Grover Cleveland) then gave Bishop Timon one heck of a game to end the season two weeks ago when the Cardinals lost 10-0. Timon, who is having one of their best seasons ever and have only loss to St. Francis this year, couldn’t do anything against the Randolph defense. The two teams were tied scoreless at halftime and even when

Chris Winkler COMMENTARY

meet r I won’t lie. I love college er football. I’ll always prefer t- it over the NFL and besides k- its basketball counterpart, there’s nothing else I’d rather watch all day while plopped up on my couch. ing But, at some point throughout each college football ch season, I’m always left wondering “what if ” when a long koya Saturday comes to an end. This year, that Saturday was this weekend. er No. 4 Wisconsin battled s, or back admirably from down ng. two touchdowns only to be burned on a last-second more Hail Mary that needed to be lows reviewed — and overturned , — to finish the game. e No. 3 Oklahoma lost at home to Texas Tech, also despite a worthy comeback that fell short. They were two great games to watch that further ce cemented the notion that every game matters and that col college football’s playoffs are the entire season. Win and move on or lose and go home. As great as that is, two very good teams were sent home packing before November has even started. This is arguably the strongest top group of teams in the country we’ve seen in years and 6) an eight-team playoff this 6) season would be extremely entertaining, let alone seemingly more profitable than neighborhood Ponzi scheme. all Trust me, I’m not much for the current state of playoff systems in our country. The fact the NBA and NHL play er- 82-game seasons over the course of seven months so more than half of the teams w in the league can qualify for Jim the playoffs is mind-bogom-gling and beyond idiotic. e Even my favorite sport, college basketball, added three yard more teams to the beloved hed March Madness that sort of rge diluted its natural flavor. Now 68 teams make a tournament that determines who the national champion is. How important is a regular season nst if you can lose 10 of the 30 games you play and still have a chance to win it all? 72 You want an important regular season? Try soccer in Europe. You know how many m playoff teams they have? Well… none, the regular season champ wins the league. hing Of course the only thing in Alex this country anything like that — besides Ivy League 0 basketball if anyone knew he — is college football. Do we need a playoff system to dilute what is already the best regular season in all of American sports? een wed Well, here’s where the “what ng, if ” comes in.

What if we had a playoff? Does it really dilute the regular season? I’m convinced it doesn’t, but maybe that’s the fan in me that is begging for more. Begging for Wisconsin and Oklahoma’s season not to be over. Begging for LSU and Alabama to play more than one time this season. Begging for Boise State to get a chance to prove week-in and weekout they’re pretty darn good. Think of it this way, all three of those scenarios are still alive if we have an 8-team playoff — wait for the logistics. But, in our current state of two playoff teams, we know Oklahoma and Wisconsin are basically eliminated. We know when LSU and Alabama play in a week that the loser probably won’t get another shot at the winner and we sure as hell know the Boise State Broncos aren’t getting anywhere near that national championship game regardless if they go undefeated and nobody else does. So this beloved regular season that means so much suddenly means nothing to Oklahoma, Wisconsin and Boise State — if it even meant anything to begin with for Boise. What if there was a playoff? What if the six BCS conference champions were automatically sent to this fictional tournament, instead of a meaningless BCS Bowl Game? Quick, who won the 2006 Orange Bowl — heck who even played? What if the remaining two spots could be awarded to anyone? Say a certain unbeaten non-BCS team or a one-loss team from the best conference in college football year-in and yearout. The SEC has won the last five national championships. Trust me, I’m not the only one who thinks the real national championship is a conference championship game held in Atlanta every year. And for every other conference championship game, there is always nothing on the line besides bragging rights and perhaps one of the two teams involved can get into the national championship. If those games sent the winner to a national tournament and the loser home, think of how massive those games are. And just getting to that game would stress just how important the regular season is and how losing more than one game would be the end of that team’s season. But, it’s really all just a dream, or in this case, a nightmare. College football is settled into this BCS system for the foreseeable future. And like I’ve done for the last four years since I started being published, I’ll write this annual column begging for a playoff system to save this sport. Besides, what if that did happen? What else would I have to write about?

Fredonia State junior outside hitter Lindsey Olson has become the lastest Fredonia State female student-athlete to receive a weekly ECAC award. Olson, from Portville, N.Y., was named Tuesday as ECAC Women's Volleyball Player of

the Week for the Metro/Upstate Region. Earlier this week, Olson was selected SUNYAC Player of the Week. She led the Blue Devils to a weekend sweep at SUNYAC West Pool Play and nailed down the West's No. 1 seed for the fifth straight year. Olson's strong weekend included a performance in

Bandits Re-Sign Forward Roger Vyse Contributed Article Buffalo Bandits PR

Buffalo Bandits Director of Lacrosse Operations Scott Loffler announced the team has signed forward Roger Vyse to a three-year contract. Vyse (5’10’’, 200 lbs.) is entering his seventh season with the Bandits. He led the team in scoring during the 2011 playoffs, registering nine points (7+2) over two games. Buffalo’s second-round pick in the 2005 NLL Entry Draft, Vyse has scored 196 points (92+104) in 68 career regular season games. The Hagersville, ON native recently starred in the World Indoor Lacrosse Championships with the Iroquois Nationals this past summer, where he finished eighth in tournament scoring with a team-best 24 points (15+9). The Bandits also announced

the signings of three 2011 NLL Entry Draft picks in Connor Daly, Dwight Bero and Lloyd Chrysler, all of whom inked one-year deals. Daly (6’2’’, 210 lbs.) was the team’s third-round selection at 24th overall. The shutdown defender from Mimico, ON led the Jr. “A” Burlington Chiefs to five consecutive playoff appearances. Bero (6’0’’, 210 lbs.) was selected in the fifth round with Buffalo’s 41st overall pick. The defenseman is a Mohawk Nation member who won the 2011 Presidents Cup with the St. Regis Braves. Chrysler (5’11”, 175 lbs.) was taken in the sixth round with the No. 51 overall selection in 2011. A Tuscarora, N.Y. native, Chrysler shined on defense over the past three seasons with the St. Catharines Jr. “A” Athletics lacrosse team.

a 3-1 win over Geneseo in which she had 23 kills (.555) five digs and two solo blocks. The 23 kills are the most by a Blue Devil in a four-set match since 2000. In a five-set match against Brockport, Olson totaled 20 kills (.356) and seven digs. On the weekend she finished with 58 kills hitting .400 and 26 digs in 15 games played.

She is the third Fredonia State woman to receive an ECAC award this month. The other two awards went to women's soccer players. Junior goalkeeper Meaghan Meszaros was named ECAC Upstate Defender of the Week on Oct. 18. Senior forward Reilly Condidorio was cited on Oct. 4 as Upstate Women's Soccer Player of the Week.

Bandits Acquire Giles In Trade With Swarm Contributed Article Buffalo Bandits PR

Buffalo Bandits Director of Lacrosse Operations Scott Loffler announced the team has traded a conditional fourth-round pick in the 2013 NLL Entry Draft to the Minnesota Swarm in exchange for forward Mat Giles, pending league approval. The pick is conditional on Giles being on the Bandits roster or practice squad at any time in 2011 or 2012. Should

Giles not make the Bandits active or practice roster, Buffalo will instead send their sixthround pick in the 2013 Entry Draft in place of the fourthround selection. Giles (6’4’’, 245 lbs., 09/03/1975) is a 15-year NLL veteran that has scored 463 points (209+254) in 176 career games. He registered 43 points (16+27) in 16 games with the Swarm last season. Giles scored a goal and an assist in both meetings against Buffalo in 2011.

TEEING OFF

A more ruthless Tiger An incident occurred at the Frys.com Open that indicates Tiger’s tenacity has returned. With the rain pelting down, Tiger sent his caddy ahead to measure the yardage on a long par 5 after he hit into the hazard. Most pros wouldn’t do that, but the old Tiger always tried his best on every shot. In the 2002 British Open, Tiger was caught in a storm and shot 81. Afterward his caddy said Tiger tried on every shot and recorded “the best 81 ever.” Tiger’s father said that Tiger would never come up against anyone who was as mentally tough as he was, and mental toughness was Tiger’s hallmark until his skid. Since then Tiger has on occasion “mailed it in.” But lately he is signaling that he’s back on track.

Made to be broken The Frys.com Open ended in the 17th playoff of the season, breaking a tour record established way back in 1991.

Bargain basement Donald Trump will pay $170 million for Miami’s Doral Golf Resort & Spa, a luxury property that landed in bankruptcy earlier this year. A final deal would have to be approved by the bankruptcy court. The sale includes four of the resort’s five golf courses; the Great White course is not part of the deal. The PGA Tour event is held on the Blue Monster.

Trim the fat

Why doesn’t Tiger Woods hit it fat when he drops down toward the ball at impact, as is his habit? Or, perhaps of more importance, why do you hit it fat? The reason is most golfers hit it fat when their lead shoulder fails to do its job. At address, you establish the radius of your golf swing — the distance from the tip of your lead shoulder to the bottom of the clubface. Let’s say it’s 60 inches. The rule is that at impact, no matter what else is different, you must return the radius to 60 inches. If you operate your shoulders correctly, so they rotate at an angle to the ground, the back shoulder will be

Because you lower your back shoulder during the downswing, you must raise your front shoulder by impact to prevent the club from becoming “too long” and digging into the ground behind the ball, aka a fat shot.

During the backswing, Tiger’s left shoulder turns down under his chin while his right shoulder travels up to finish behind his ear. During the downswing, his shoulders will reverse themselves — the right goes down while the left raises up.

At impact, Tiger’s lead shoulder is riding high. His spine may have dropped down, but his radius stays the same because his left shoulder rotates not only up, but also behind him.

An 11-time PGA Tour winner, Stricker first noticed the problem last December with weakness in his left arm — not a good sign for a pro golfer. He and his partner, Tiger Woods, were 4 and 0 in the last Presidents Cup.

Nega-talk Negative self-talk is condescending, destructive, critical, glass-ishalf-empty type of talk in which you berate yourself, call yourself names and do yourself absolutely no good. This habit destroys your self-confidence. An important tool in playing your best golf is to monitor your brand of self-talk and eliminate or modify your nega-talk. If positive autosuggestion works, so must negative autosuggestion. If you want to play your best golf, you need to stop the nega-talk.

THE GOLF DOCTOR

Club weights are measured two ways There are two ways to measure a golf club’s weight — scale weight and swing weight. If you weigh 180 pounds, that’s the number you’ll see when you stand on an accurate scale — your scale weight. So, too, when a golf club is measured for its scale weight or “ideal weight,” say, 13 ounces. It’s important because if your clubs are too heavy for you, your swing gets out of control, and if they’re too light, you can’t feel the shaft. The swing weight is the relationship between the length of the club and the amount of weight in the clubhead. How the weight is distributed determines the “feel” of the clubhead. A swing weight scale represents differences in swing weight using letters and numbers: C8, for example, would have a very light-headed feel and D7 a heavy-headed feel. Swing weight should be the same for all your clubs to promote a consistency of feel, but the scale weight differs for each, with your sand wedge being the heaviest. Your PGA professional can help you weigh your clubs and determine whether they are right for you.

Golfers young and old help the troops Sabona, maker of magnetic and copper bracelets believed by some to promote good health, is offering a special patriotic edition wristband with the power of magnets. The Pro-Magnetic silicone wristband contains four 1200-gauss magnets and a titanium material producing minus or negative ions. A portion of the sales of this item will be donated to support the troops. The wristband costs $19.99 at www.sabona.com/category/ pro-magnetic-sport. Insider Take: It’s like chicken soup — it can’t hurt (except if you are a chicken).

Juniors pitch in, too International Junior Golf Tour (IJGT) and Bridgestone Golf have partnered in a program to provide golf balls to U.S. forces serving overseas. “Bunkers in Baghdad” is a nonprofit that gathers and delivers golf balls, clubs (hope they send a lot of sand wedges) and other equipment to U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. The IJGT will donate balls collected during its three “majors” this fall at Hershey Links Golf Club in West Chester, Pa. (Oct. 28-30), Port Royal Golf Club on Hilton Head Island, S.C. (Nov. 11-13) and Temecula Creek in Temecula, Calif. (Dec. 9-11). Players can receive an exemption to the majors by competing in IJGT events and earning merit points.

Cost of playing on tour quickly eats into your winnings Assume a tour pro with winnings of $1 million: $300,000 — taxes $80,000 to $100,000 — caddy’s winnings; plus weekly salary of $1,200 to $1,400 $30,000 — coach(es); tops out at about 3 percent of winnings $4,000 to $5,000 — weekly travel expenses $0 — agent; most get a cut of endorsements only

“The causal sequence is laughter triggers endorphin activation. What triggers laughter is a question that leads into a different labyrinth.” So says Robin Dunbar, an evolutionary psychologist at Oxford. Apparently, it’s not the intellectual pleasure of cerebral humor, but the physical act of laughing itself that triggers an increase in our feel-good brain chemicals. So what about golf and laughing? In many golf advertisements you see actors yucking it up, but for a lot of people, golf is a serious business. For five hours they do battle, with self-worth as the first prize. Name all the emotions that the average golfer goes through and at the bottom of the list would be hilarity. To most people golf is not a funny game. And research shows that this lack of good humor for prolonged stretches could be injurious to your overall well-being. In Dunbar’s experiments, golf was used as an anti-laughter platform, in part because it was deemed to be just the opposite of funny — boring. Dunbar determined the pain thresholds of his subjects and then split them into two groups; one group was shown comedy videos, while the other watched content the researchers deemed boring, such as golfing programs. The researchers found that those who laughed could withstand 10 percent more pain than they could before watching the videos. The type of laughter was also important. A quiet titter, a soft chuckle, “Did you hear the one about …” — none of these did anything to ease the pain because no endorphins were produced. The Takeaway: What shall it profit a man (or woman) to gaineth a golf game but become a sourpuss?

DON’T MISS IT

GOLF BY THE NUMBERS

I’m often asked, “How much does it cost to play the tour?” Golf Magazine tackled that question and came up with an answer that tracks my experience. Of course, every player is different.

Sourpuss golf

If you were an average mini-tour player who won $7,000 in a tournament, the expenses you would incur are: $1,400 — entry fee $600 — airfare $500 — hotel $100 — meals $210 — swing coach (3 percent of winnings) $2,000 — profit $2,190 — remainder goes toward next event

Note: Depending on the tour, I tell my mini-tour players it will cost them about $70,000 a season, so a sponsor should be ready to commit about $210,000 for three years. I use three years as the minimum to learn how to play at the pro level. Most often it takes longer. QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“I guess he wanted to be in the news. And I’m sure he will be.”

“I was inspired by the movie “Drive.” As soon as the movie ended, I thought to myself, I have to do something courageous and epic. I have to throw a hot dog on the green in front of Tiger.”

— Tiger Woods, about the person who threw a hot dog at him.

— the man who threw the hot dog.

ASK THE PRO Q: This is my first year learning to play golf, and I am frustrated by how slowly I am progressing. I’m a 35-year-old woman and in good shape, and I feel I should be improving more rapidly. How long should it take me to learn this game? — S.L. A: My advice is to relate the rate of your learning process to other skills you’ve acquired: playing the piano, trigonometry, chess and gardening. You didn’t learn these kinds of skills all at once, and golf is no exception. Golf is a process that requires instruction, a dedication to practice and the exercise of your new skills on the playing field. In golf, you’ll get out of it what you put into it. The late Al McGuire, Hall of Fame basketball coach at Marquette University, used to say, “The best thing about freshmen is they become sophomores.” So relax, your “rookie” season will be over soon. The important thing is to have fun while you’re learning. Read my book “Play Better Golf for Women,” especially the section “Your First Year as a Golfer,” for more hints on how to feel at home on the golf course. And be sure to take a few lessons from your PGA teaching pro. (To Ask the Pro a question about golf, email him at: TJInsider@aol.com.)

Ironmen Grab 2 Points In Weekend Trip To Michigan By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

It was another tough road trip for the Jamestown Ironmen, who saw their record away from the Jamestown Savings Bank Ice Arena drop to 3-10, but did salvage a win Friday night, snapping a nine-game road losing streak. Head coach Dan Daikawa said he hoped to grab four points out of this three game road swing with division leading Michigan Thursday and Friday and Port Huron Saturday, but the Ironmen could only muster a 4-3 win Friday night. The good news is the Ironmen aren’t far away. After struggling mightily Thursday night, losing 6-1 and allowing 46 shots, Jamestown rallied for strong showings Friday and Saturday. It may not seem like much, but with 40-plus games left, it was important for Jamestown to show they could compete on the road, and they did.

They took it to the first place Warriors Friday night behind a hat trick from Anthony Coles, who’s the only person in the world happier than Rebecca Black when it’s a Friday. You may remember Coles notched a hat trick last Friday night at home against the Chicago Hitmen in a 7-1 win. Back-toback Friday’s equaled back-toback hat tricks for Coles. But it wasn’t just Coles, as the Ironmen really got after it on the defensive end, allowing Michigan jut 25 shots, including seven in the opening period to set the tone. Coles opened the scoring midway through the first period, but Michigan’s James Kline tied the game with only a minute left in the period. However, the momentum quickly slid back to the Ironmen when Coles scored on a power play to open the second period. After Nick Bingaman scored five minutes later, it looked like an easy night for the Ironmen. However, nothing has been

easy for this team and the top team in the North Division came roaring back with a goal late in the second and early in the third to tie the game. But, Coles hammered in a rebound just a few short minutes later and the Ironmen were able to hang on behind goaltender Joey Ballmer and a solid defensive effort that held Michigan to just nine third period shots. The Ironmen couldn’t keep up the momentum, though, and lost a heartbreaker to a team already looking like an archnemesis in Port Huron. The Fighting Falcons and the Ironmen got into quite the melee a few weeks back and with the last time these teams meeting in Port Huron ending in a 9-0 rout for the Fighting Falcons, you can be sure Jamestown wanted this one. But with the team playing their third road game in as many days, Jamestown was outshot 29-15 through two periods and trailed 2-0. If it

weren’t for Ballmer, the score would have been much worse. Bingaman scored late in the game to give Jamestown hope, but even though they managed 14 shots in the period, they could not find the equalizer. Ballmer had another statstuffing night with 37 saves. He was the league’s second star of the week last week. The road woes shouldn’t bug the Ironmen too much, though. They play 17 of their next 24 games at the JSBIA, which means they only have three road trips from here until mid-February. They host Kalamazoo this weekend for three straight games starting Friday night. The Jr. K-Wings are 10-4 this year and just one point behind Michigan for the top spot in the North Division. Then, they host Michigan again for two games next weekend. It will already be the team’s fifth and sixth games against the Warriors.

Matt Forte Rushes For 145 yards, TD As Bears Edge Bucs In London

Contributed Article Associated Press

WEMBLEY, England — A long journey across the Atlantic wasn't about to slow down Matt Forte. Bringing his multifaceted game to a new audience in England, Forte ran for 145 yards and a touchdown, and the Bears held on to beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 24-18 on Sunday in the fifth annual NFL regular-season game at Wembley Stadium. Jay Cutler threw for 226 yards and a touchdown, and the Bears (4-3) intercepted Josh Freeman four times for their second win in a row. The Buccaneers (4-3) lost for the second time in three years in London. Forte, who came to London with a league-leading 908 combined yards rushing and receiving, also had two catches Sunday for 38 yards, bringing his total to 1,089. Forte is the first player since 2004 to go over 1,000 yards after seven games since Priest Holmes and Tiki Barber in 2004. "He's the best player in the NFL right now," said Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher, who had one of Chicago's

interceptions. "The guy's a complete football player — production every week. You look at everything he's done this year and it's amazing. He makes plays on the run and the pass every game." Freeman threw two TD passes in the final period to pull the Bucs within three points midway through the fourth quarter. But after a 25-yard field goal by Chicago's Robbie Gould, Freeman was picked off for the fourth time with 37 seconds left by D.J. Moore. "I was pretty much where I was supposed to be," Moore said. "Ball is up for grabs, you go for it." Tampa Bay's loss completed a miserable day for the Glazer family, owners of the Bucs and Manchester United. Earlier, the Glazers were on hand at Old Trafford as the English Premier League champions were thrashed 6-1 by crosstown rival Manchester City. The Glazers came straight down to London for the NFL game and ended up 0-2 for the day. The Bucs lost to New England 35-7 in London two years ago. "The problem with us is we're too young," Bucs coach Raheem Morris said. "We're foolish. ... There's no excuses,

NBA Owners’ Dual Wants Put More Games In Jeopardy By Brian Mahoney Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) — NBA owners have their priorities, and playing games isn't first on that list. Instead, the league is looking beyond this month — and maybe beyond this season, if that's what it takes — to implement an extreme financial makeover after years of sizeable losses. The goal, in the words of Spurs owner Peter Holt, “an opportunity to make a few bucks.'' Owners are determined to reshape the league by creating a system like the NFL or NHL, where spending is capped and small-market teams truly can compete with the big boys. But reforming the NHL's financial structure required a lengthy lockout, wiping out the entire 2004-05 season. And the NFL is making money, not losing it. After NBA labor talks broke down Thursday night, Holt was asked if owners might be willing to sit out a year to get the changes they crave. “The competitive issues and the economic issues, certainly we don't want to lose the season, I don't think the NHL did either. It ended up happening,'' said Holt, chairman of the owners' labor relations committee. “There are certain things that we feel we must have.'' And that makes a lost NBA season a possibility. That comes as no surprise to players' association executive director Billy Hunter. He started to believe two or three years ago that owners intended to lock out the players so they could force through the changes they wanted. Now he doesn't see enough owners who can stop it from happening. He identified big-market owners Jerry Buss of the Lakers, the Knicks' Jim Dolan, Miami's Micky Arison and Dallas' Mark Cuban as owners he believed were open to anything that could lead to games, but there were many

more from the small markets “that were dug in, and I think they're carrying the day.'' “And unfortunately. I think what we have to do is we have to miss more games for it to really set in,'' Hunter said. “And that's what I kept trying to tell them is that this thing is on a slippery slope and we're already losing games, the first two weeks, and if we continue to go in that decline, it may become intractable to get people to move from their respective positions.'' The first two weeks of the season — 100 games in all — already have been canceled. And it won't be long before more games are scrapped. That's in stark contrast to the NFL lockout, in which only the preseason Hall of Fame game was canceled. The NFL always insisted that it would play, a rallying cry that is absent from the NBA negotiations. Of course, the NFL players and owners were fighting over how to split billions of dollars of revenue whereas the NBA says it lost $300 million last season and that only eight of its 30 clubs made money. “Different dynamic, I mean no doubt about it,'' said Holt, who added his small-market Spurs lost money the last two years, which hadn't happened before. “We're losing games, so there's a cost to that. And we also were in a very different position. NFL essentially was fighting over how to divide more riches. We're trying to figure out how to get our expenses down so we've got 30 teams that have an opportunity to make a little money, and so it's a very different situation.'' One that could be crippling in many NBA cities, particularly a small-market one such as Memphis. Ty Agee, president of the Beale Street Merchants Association, said the timing couldn't have been worse for the city, Beale Street and the Grizzlies. After years of anemic play and small crowds,

the team's 2011 playoff run brought people downtown not only toward the end of the regular season, but into two rounds of the playoffs — an unexpected boost for a club that had never won a playoff game. Now, instead of riding momentum and benefiting from more customers, businesses in the entertainment district are watching labor negotiations. “I get nervous, and I get more and more frustrated,'' said Agee, who owns Miss Polly's Cafe. “All we want is for them to get their stuff together. “It's a double-edge sword for me because I'm a fan and a business owner.'' Commissioner David Stern has long warned that once games are missed, both sides might stiffen their proposals in hopes of recovering what's been lost, which is why he said last week he feared games could be lost through Christmas without a deal this week. After three days and 30 hours of meetings with a federal mediator, negotiations fell apart when union officials said they were told they must commit to a 50-50 split of revenues before owners would agree to discuss the salary cap system. “Right now, they're saying it's got to be a precondition. If we're going to meet, you've got to agree to accept 50-50. So as long as that edict is out there, then when are we going to meet?'' Hunter said. “We're saying we're unwilling to meet unless we can talk about the system independent of the number.'' There is no indication owners will be prepared to go beyond a 50-50 split, and with players currently at 52.5 or 53, the sides are about $100 million apart on an annual basis. Players seem willing to give on one of the issues if they scored concessions on the other — they've already offered to reduce their guarantee of revenues from 57 percent — but management has made it clear it must have both. That doesn't leave much room for compromise. Or a season.

Bears arrived only on Friday. It didn't seem to hurt. "We should be one of the teams going over and showing our brand of football internationally," Chicago coach Lovie

Smith said. "You're never excited about flying for eight hours, but the players handled it well." Attendance was 76,981, short of a sellout in the 82,000-capacity Wembley. It's the first time since the NFL began playing regular-season games here five years ago that tickets haven't sold out. Organizers blamed the NFL lockout, which meant the game wasn't officially confirmed and tickets put on sale until a few months ago — rather than at the beginning of the year as in the past. Still, the game provided plenty of action, as well as plenty of turnovers, penalties and some unusual moments — including when a male fan ran onto the field, ripped off his shirt and high-fived players before being tackled by security guards. "We had a squirrel on the field. We had a streaker on the field, so it was a great experience," said Bears receiver Roy Williams, who caught a 25yard TD pass from Cutler. Forte was already over 100 yards rushing midway through the second quarter. He broke through the right side of the Bucs defense and cut back across the field for a weaving 32-yard TD run that put the Bears ahead in the

first. "When you get the opportunity to make a big play you've got to make the most of it," Forte said. "I've got to take advantage of every time I get into the open field to make a big play." Forte also ended up in his own end zone a few minutes later, tackled for a safety by Ronde Barber. That capped a quirky sequence of backto-back interceptions. First, Tanard Jackson picked off a ball that went through Marion Barber's hands and returned it 42 yards to the Chicago 21. On the next play, Freeman hit Mike Williams over the middle at the goal line, but Chicago safety Chris Conte wrestled the ball out of his arms for a takeaway. Freeman finished 29 of 51 for 264 yards and two touchdowns. Cutler was 17 of 32 with two interceptions. The Bucs had to rely on the pass after losing running back Earnest Graham in the first quarter to a right ankle injury. He was starting for the second straight week in place of LeGarrette Blount, who was out with a knee injury. "With Graham going out, we had to change our game plan completely," Freeman said.

Stoops in Norman, in the 2001 regular-season finale. The Sooners gave up 572 yards of total offense. "It's shocking," defensive end Frank Alexander said. "We never want to give up that many yards on defense. We pride ourselves on being a great defense. Tonight, we didn't display that attitude." Landry Jones ended up with 412 yards passing and five touchdowns with one interception, but it wasn't enough to rally Oklahoma (6-1, 3-1) back from a sluggish start and save its unbeaten season. "Not one person lost this game," Jones said. "It was offense, defense, everybody. ... You can't point the finger at one guy and say, `You lost the game for us,' because football's the ultimate team sport and it's all of us." Doege, the nation's fourthleading passer, had little trouble leading the Red Raiders up and down the field against the banged-up Sooners. Oklahoma was without cornerback Jamell Fleming (knee), defensive tackle Casey Walker (left thumb) and middle linebacker Tom Wort (concussion). "It hurt us, and some of them couldn't help it," Lewis said. "I know I played with a broken toe and the coaches would have had to drag me off the field for me not to play. So, (I'm) disappointed in some of the guys." This one was different even before it got started. A storm packing heavy winds, strong rain and lightning arrived just before kickoff, and fans were asked to leave the stands and take shelter on the concourses. The game got started after a delay of 1 hour and 35 minutes, and Texas Tech struck almost immediately. Doege threw touchdown passes of 44, 30 and 11 yards to Torres to build up a 31-7 lead just over 2 minutes into the second half and the Red Raiders hung on from there. After Jones' 22-yard TD pass to James Hanna cut the deficit to three, Aaron Crawford recovered an onside kick with 69 seconds left to seal the victory. The Red Raiders came bouncing off the sidelines to celebrate. "It's special for the entire team. I'm excited about it," Doege said. "The best part of it is seeing how happy and excited my team-

mates are. We all got together, and we pulled it off. Everybody didn't think we could." The win prevented Tech from losing three straight games for the first time since 1998 — and in stunning fashion. The Red Raiders came in as huge underdogs playing on a field where, until last month's game against Missouri, no one but the Sooners had had even led for 20 straight games spanning back to 2007. There hadn't been in many squeakers, either. Oklahoma's average margin of victory had been 30 points. The Sooners were out of sync in this one, though, failing to get their high-powered offense into the fast-paced tempo that gives so many opponents trouble. They failed to get a first down throughout the second quarter, when Tech capitalized to score 17 straight points, and didn't click until it was too late. Oklahoma didn't get any help from its kicker, either. Michael Hunnicutt missed a 39-yardfield goal in the first half and a 28-yarder off the right upright with 2:52 left that proved critical. With the lead starting to dwindle, Tuberville got into a gambling mood. Having already cashed in one fourthand-1 for a touchdown, he went for it again from the 6-yard line and Crawford got stuffed. Then he took another chance by calling for a fake punt on fourthand-4 on Tech's side of midfield, and upback Jackson Richards got stuffed close enough to the first down that officials took a second look at the replay. Oklahoma capitalized on the short field that time, needing seven plays to cover the 44 yards and get within 31-24 on Trey Millard's 3-yard TD catch to start the fourth quarter. Doege had an answer, though. He led Texas Tech down for a 39-yard Donnie Carona field goal to bump the lead back to 10 and, after yet another Oklahoma three-and-out, Tramain Swindall got his left foot in for a 14-yard touchdown grab to make the lead 41-24 with 7:38 to play. Oklahoma made it interesting after Jaz Reynolds' 55-yard touchdown grab but couldn't become only the ninth team in Bowl Subdivision history to win 40 straight home games.

Texas Tech Stuns Oklahoma; 8 Unbeaten Teams Left In NCAA Contributed Article Associated Press

NORMAN, Okla. — Seemingly invincible for so long at Owen Field, No. 3 Oklahoma finally proved fallible at home. Seth Doege threw for 441 yards and connected with Alex Torres on three of his four touchdown passes, and Texas Tech snapped the Sooners' 39-game home winning streak with 41-38 victory Saturday night. About two hours after Wisconsin (No. 6 BCS, No. 4 AP) lost, a second top-five team went down on the first day of the college football season that really shook the rankings. "I don't know that it has to be all that surprising," coach Bob Stoops said after his third loss in 78 home games at Oklahoma. "The teams we play can come in here and beat us. And sometimes maybe too much is said about it like it can't happen. "I told the players that anyone who we'll play the rest of the year will whoop us if we don't play better than we did today. They just flat out beat us." Without some significant dominoes falling in their favor, the Sooners' dreams at winning a national title — the primary reason All-American receiver Ryan Broyles and linebacker Travis Lewis came back for their senior seasons — are likely shot. Taken down by the Red Raiders, who were four-touchdown underdogs after back-to-back losses to ranked opponents by a total of 12 points the last two weeks. "It's one game, but it's a huge game for recruiting, for national stature. Obviously, you don't read too much about Texas Tech," Tommy Tuberville said after the first landmark win of his brief tenure as Tech's coach. "For some reason, I haven't seen much on TV. I bet you see it the next few days. We're going to be proud of that. When you go on the road and beat a No. 1 team (in the coaches' poll), it's really special. That's almost impossible to do." Doege carved up an Oklahoma defense missing three starters, helping the Red Raiders (5-2, 2-2 Big 12) become the first opponent since TCU in the 2005 season opener to win in Norman. Oklahoma State pulled off the only other win against

Unsatisfied Bills Still Looking To Prove Doubters Wrong By John Wawrow Associated Press

t, ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) a — It was only a few weeks rion ago that Ryan Fitzpatrick ed was basking in the national 21. spotlight for helping the “No-Name'' Buffalo Bills get off to their fast start, when the quarterback provided a piece e of sobering perspective. “It's cool,'' Fitzpatrick said a few days after the Bills for improved to 3-0 with a dramatic come-from-behind win to end a 15-game losing streak against archrival New e England. “But it's just one of those things that you know as he quickly as it's come, everye body could leave once we lose the a few games.'' ace For all the sizzle these wasso-called “Mis-Fitz,'' have provided, there's always a fear we of fizzling. And the losses an have predictably come in a parity-driven NFL in which

the Green Bay Packers stand as the last unbeaten team. The Bills have dropped two of three to leave them with a 4-2 record entering their bye week before returning Oct. 30 to “host'' the Washington Redskins in Buffalo's annual home game at Toronto. As much as the Bills stirred up attention to earn respect through the first six weeks of the season, the test over the final 10 weeks is showing whether they're for real. “I know that we believe that in this locker room,'' Fitzpatrick said. “I don't think we take satisfaction in the fact that we're better than people thought we were, because, in our minds, we're better than 4-2 right now. We've got to come out and show it.'' Hall of Fame coach Marv Levy's a believer. “Chan has done a terrific job there getting the team to play an exciting brand of football.

They are fun to watch,'' Levy said, referring to coach Chan Gailey. “I think it's pretty clear they are legitimate, not a fluke.'' Fluke or not, the path ahead won't be easy for a once-proud franchise that's endured six straight losing seasons and hasn't been to the playoffs in 11 years, tied with Detroit for the NFL's longest active drought. Injuries have begun cutting into the team's already thin depth, with defensive tackle Kyle Williams expected to miss at least one more game with a foot injury. The schedule is no cakewalk. Including their game at Toronto, the Bills will play five of their next seven away from Orchard Park, where they're 3-0 thus far. “Time will tell. Nothing's given,'' Gailey said. “We don't know yet. But I have more confidence than I did last year

than we can.'' A year ago at this time, Buffalo was already being counted out. The team was mired in what would become an 0-8 start, and searching for any semblance of identity in a start-from-scratch approach during Gailey's first year. This season, despite the development time lost due to the lockout, the Bills have proven to be further along on offense in particular. Buffalo's second in the league with 188 points. It has scored 20 or more in all six games this season — that's two more than it managed all last year. And the Bills are taking advantage of an ultrabalanced attack that's led by Fitzpatrick and running back Fred Jackson, who's being regarded as an early season MVP candidate. Despite being “annoyed'' at the Bills front office for refusing to budge on a request

Former Bills C Kent Hull Dies At 50 By John Wawrow Associated Press

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Kent Hull, who served as Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly’s center during the Buffalo Bills’ AFC title years in the early 1990s, has died. He was 50. Mississippi State, where Hull played his college ball, announced he passed away on Tuesday afternoon. The cause of death was not immediately known. Hull was a three-time Pro Bowl selection during 11 seasons with the Bills. He was credited for playing a key role in helping run the team’s nohuddle “K-Gun” offense. The Bills honored Hull in 2002 by placing his name on Ralph Wilson Stadium’s Wall of Fame. “We have suffered a tremendous loss,” Bills Hall of Fame running back Thurman Thomas wrote in an email to The Associated Press. “Kent was a teammate, big brother and best friend. My heart breaks for His amazing family. My heart breaks period. He will be a best friend and in my heart forever.” Kelly described Hull as a “man of great courage and character,” in a statement released by the Bills. “Words fall short when the pain runs so deep,” Kelly said. “I’m finding it hard to describe what this loss means to me and my family. Kent Hull was my best friend. … He will be missed and never forgotten.” Hull was inducted into Mississippi State’s sports hall of fame in 2000, and then the state’s sports hall of fame three years later. Hull broke into pro football in 1983 with the USFL New Jersey Generals, where he eventually was joined by Kelly in 1986, just before the league folded. The two then headed to the Bills, the team that still held the rights to Kelly after selecting him in the first round of the 1983 draft. They became part of the core of a team that ush-ered in the Bills’ golden era. Hull was a fixture on the offensive line of a team that made four straight Super Bowl ap-pearances — from 1991 to 1994 — only to lose them all. The Bills ranked first in the NFL in yards rushing in both 1991 and ’92, and finished in the

top six in total yards from 1989 to 1993. Hull also joined Kelly in announcing his retirement following the 1996 season. When his playing days were over, Hull actively worked his cattle farm in northeastern Mississippi. He was tough and durable as a player, and at one point appeared in 121 consecutive games with the Bills. He appeared in 189 games in all with Buffalo. His sudden death left his former teammates, Hall of Fame coach Marv Levy and even their respective families inconsolable. “I’m so, deeply saddened,” Levy said. “I coached for 47 years, and he honestly was one of the very most memorable individuals who was my privilege to coach.” Aside from crediting Hull’s quick-thinking ability to help run the offense, Levy praised the player for being a great teammate and leader. “He was an enjoyable man to be around. He made life so pleasant for his teammates, or who ever he was with,” Levy said. “He represented everything that sports should be.” Levy’s wife, Fran, was so heartbroken she sobbed openly upon learning the news. Thomas’ wife, Patti, also had difficulty speaking because she was overcome by emotion when reached by phone. Hull was a bear of a man, who was both outgoing, funny and philosophical. During Kelly’s induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2002, Hull commented on the sea of Bills fans in attendance at Fawcett Stadium and said: “I feel like I’m in Buffalo. Look at this.” Following his last game, a 30-27 playoff loss to Jacksonville, Hull remarked how opportu opportunistic the Jaguars were. “They seemed like the team that we used to be,” Hull said. Kelly paid tribute to his center when Hull retired. “Not only was he a great competitor and a great player, he was one of my best friends,” Kelly said then. “He’s a guy that if I ever wind up having a boy, I’d hope he grow up to be just like Kent Hull. He’s a family guy and a person I love very much. I’m going to miss him.” Hull is survived by his wife, Kay, and two chil children, Drew and Ellen.

to renegotiate his contract, Jackson's taken out his frustrations on opposing teams. He's second in the league in yards rushing (601) yards from scrimmage (880) and touchdowns rushing (six). Jackson's six scores rushing already equal amount the Bills managed in each of the past two seasons. “Fred means a lot to us,'' Fitzpatrick said. “He's our leader. He's that guy that has the fire and inspires us out there.'' The Bills defense, however, remains a work in progress. Despite leading the league with 16 takeaways and 12 interceptions, Buffalo can't manufacture a pass rush, and is giving up yards at an alarming rate. Dating to 1950, the Bills are only the fifth team to give up 414 yards or more in five straight games, according to STATS LLC. And only the 1976 Kansas City Chiefs

have allowed that many in six straight. The 2,310 yards Buffalo's allowed over that five-game span is the 17th-most since 1950, and fifth-most since the NFL merger. “Obviously, the numbers aren't what we want them to be, but we know we that we've made improvements regardless of what the stats say,'' linebacker Chris Kelsay said. “Consistency is the key word there.'' There's no solace in realizing both losses were decided by field goals scored in the final two minutes. “It makes that much more frustrating when you lose,'' linebacker Shawne Merriman said. As confident as the Bills are that they're better, mere talk won't do it. “We have to go out and do it, period,'' Merriman said.

Ross Gets 100th Career Point, Fredonia Sweeps Opening Weekend

Contributed Article Fredonia Sports Information

FREDONIA, N.Y. — Bryan Ross earned two assists and became Fredonia State's 16th player to reach 100 career points in a 4-1 season-opening win over Assumption at the Steele Hall Ice Arena. Two Blue Devil freshmen also scored their first collegiate goals. Ross picked up an assist on Bryan Doust's first collegiate goal at the 4:34 mark of the first period. Assumption forged a 1-1 tie on a goal by Nick Matiello. The Blue Devils took control with two goals in the second period. Brett Mueller gave the Blue Devils a 2-1 lead at 1:07 of the second period. Ross then assisted on a goal by Mike Muhs at 5:52 of the second. Stephen Castriota competed the scoring with his first collegiate goal at 18:54.

Senior forward Bryan Ross had two assists in the season opening 4-1 win against Assumption, giving him 100 points in his career. He’s is just the 16th person to do that in Fredonia’s history. (Submitted photo).

The Blue Devils were guilty of 10 minor penalties, one of them coincidental. They managed to kill all nine other short-handed situations. Mark Friesen made 25 saves in the Fredonia State goal. Nick Blanchette made 34 saves for Assumption. They improved to 2-0 Saturday, as it defeated Assumption for the second straight night 5-1. The Devils scored the only goal of the first period 3:53 into the frame as junior Mat Hehr connected for his first

score of the season. Juniors Brett Mueller and Ben Waldman assisted. The Devils made 2-0 in the second period as freshman Tyler Matecki scored his first goal in a Blue Devil uniform on a power play. Following a cross check by Assumption's Taylor Larsen to give the Devils the man advantage, Matecki connected on helpers from juniors Bradley Nunn and Bryan Ross. The Devils made it 3-0 at 5:16 into the third period with their second power play of the game.

Doust scored his second goal of the season on assists from Waldman and Ross. Assumption got on board when Larsen scored unassisted on a breakaway with 6:47 left to play to make it 3-1, Fredonia State. The Devils answered back just 33 seconds later. Castriota scored his second goal in as many nights to make it a 4-1 game. Junior Will McGlaughlin and Doust assisted. The Devils put the final nail in the coffin when freshman Jared Wynia scored with 22 seconds left to play. Ross was credited with his third assist of the day. For the Devils, Doust and Castriota, both freshmen, had goals on Friday as well. Sophomore goalkeeper Mark Friesen made 29 saves for the Blue Devils. For Assumption (0-3), Dave Maiocco was peppered with 55 shots, saving 50. The Devils are now 2-0. They open up SUNYAC Play at Brockport and Geneseo next weekend.

Fredonia Women Beat Niagara, Close Loss For Men Contributed Article Fredonia Sports Information

FREDONIA, N.Y. — Fredonia State opened the home portion of its swimming and diving season Friday by entertaining the Niagara Purple Eagles. The Blue Devil women pulled a 140-103 upset, while the men hung tough before falling 126-115. "It was a great win for the women," head coach Arthur Wang said, "and an impressive result for the men. I'm very proud of the team to produce

a result against a Division 1 opponent." On the women's side, Sarah Ficarro was a double winner in springboard diving. She scored 233.65 points off the 1-meter board, and 240.80 in the 3-meter competition. Ashley Keller was second in both events. Lauren Schaefer and Breena Cogliandro participated in the 1-2-3-4 finish by the Blue Devils in the 1-meter. In swimming events, Elizabeth Schake touched first in the 50-yard freestyle in 25.26 seconds, just ahead of teammate Katie Donnelly. Schake also took part in the winning

200-yard medley relay, while Donnelly was on the winning 200-yard freestyle. Also, freshman Steph Rosa won the 100-yard backstroke in 1:02.87, and Emily Ginty won the 500-yard freestyle. Rosa was also a member of the winning 200 medley relay. On the men's side, John Estanislau was a triple individual winner. He led a 1-2-3 Blue Devil finish in the 50yard freestyle with a winning time of 22.14 seconds. Dave Adamczak was second, Robert Sweeny third. Estanislau also won the 100-

yard freestyle in 48.99, and the 100-yard backstroke in 1:03.43. Ryan Fuller was the men's other individual winner. He was first in 1-meter springboard diving with 246 points. The Blue Devils finished the meet on a high-note with a come-from-behind win in the 200-yard freestyle relay. The swimmers were Chris Murray, Adrian Van Hall, Adamczak, and Sweeny. When the same teams met last season at Niagara, no Fredonia State male won a single event.

Both teams got off to a furious pace on the soggy pitch as the clubs combined for 13 shots in the opening 20 minutes — seven to UMass and six to St. Bonaventure. Bona's best chance came about five minutes into the contest as senior Joshua Gonsalves lifted an uncontested shot high over the crossbar from about eight yards out. Following the opening 20 minutes, action settled down as the Minutemen closed the first half with a 10-8 shot advantage. Both teams put two of those attempts on frame, with each goalkeeper equal to the challenges.

FREDONIA, N.Y. — Fredonia State's bid to land a spot in the SUNYAC men's soccer tournament was squashed Saturday with a 4-2 loss to Oneonta combined with a New Paltz win. The loss dropped the Blue Devils to 4-5-0 in the conference (11-7-0 overall), while New Paltz's win at Buffalo State lifted the Hawks past the Blue Devils into the sixth and final playoff spot. Oneonta, meanwhile, nailed down SUNYAC's No. 1 seed. The Red Dragons extended their unbeaten streak to 14 games and improved to 8-0-1 in the conference. They are 12-2-2 overall. Fredonia State's upset bid appeared bleak following a pair of Oneonta fist-half goals, at 10:19 by Gary Laronde from Nicholas Lange, and at 24:16 by Eric Fortier from Laronde. Ryan Smith cut the deficit in half with a shot from the 8-yard line at 28:09. Luke

Tylutki and Jake Persons were given assists. The Blue Devils forged a 2-2 tie early in the second half. After Matt Grabowski was fouled in the box, Tyler Williams converted the subsequent penalty kick at 55:25. J.P. Arenas broke the tie at 68:43. After getting the ball near the top of the 18-yard box, he dribbled past his marks and fired a shot inside the far post. Daniel Josepher added an insurance goal at 73:52, and Dan Scott earned the assist. The Red Dragons' territorial advantage was evident statistically. They had more shots (21 to 9) and more corner kicks (7 to 1) than the Blue Devils. Oneonta goalkeeper Max Siegelman was credited with three saves while Bobby McGinnis made one save for the Blue Devils. The Blue Devils close out the regular season Tuesday when they visit Hobart in a nonconference game.

Thirteen fouls and two yellow cards — one for each side — highlighted a chippy second half which saw the end of regulation finish with each side having attempted 16 shots in the game. Another yellow card was issued, this time to UMass, in the first overtime session, and despite a few good scoring opportunities by both sides in the overtime sessions, neither was able to convert and each teamed picked up its second league tie of the campaign. Bona keeper Mitchell Mack made four saves en route to his third shutout of the season. On the other side of the field, Shane Curran-Hays stopped six Bonaventure shots for his fourth blanking of the year. St. Bonaventure returns to action next Friday and Sunday when it concludes its home schedule against Saint Joseph's and Temple, respectively. Kickoff on Friday against the Hawks is slated for 3 p.m. from McGraw-Jennings Field.

Mattson slipped a through ball behind the defense to Morrissey. Morrissey, working from the middle to her left, dodged Bona keeper Megan Junker and scored high. "We picked up the pace [after the UMass goal], but really could only generate a few chances," said Khettry. "We still have work to do and I know our players are motivated to get positive results in order to qualify for the A-10 Tournament for a fourth consecutive year." Junker returned to the starting lineup for the first time in six games and made five saves in the loss. The Bonnies conclude the regular season next weekend in Philadelphia at Saint Joseph's and Temple.

Mathieu Garon didn't let a couple of early goals get him down. The Buffalo Sabres beat Garon twice on their first three shots Tuesday night at the First Niagara Center -- two more times than they managed in Saturday's 3-0 loss to the Lightning in Tampa Bay. But Garon and the Lightning both rebounded -- the veteran goaltender stopped 35 of Buffalo's last 36 shots, and the Lightning rallied for a 4-3 victory to complete a homeand-home sweep. "You have to forget about the goals because if you give up another one it's probably over," Garon said. "You just have to worry about the next shot and battle through." Garon, who was signed as a free agent this summer to back up Dwayne Roloson, is taking an increasing share of the playing time away from the 42-year-old. "He's definitely a great goalie,"Lightning captain Vincent Lecavalier said of Garon. "He's making the big saves and it's been tough to

score on him lately. He's really good to begin with, but now he's getting his confidence back so that makes him even tougher to beat. Between him and Roloson, that's a pretty good duo." Lightning nemesis Thomas Vanek started the scoring for the Sabres when he stole the puck from defenseman Eric

Brewer and put a backhander through Garon's five-hole just 1:56 after the opening faceoff. Vanek has now scored 23 goals in 26 career games against the Lightning. "You have to create offense and you have to do it with speed,"Buffalo coach Lindy Ruff said. "I think on Saturday night in their place we were playing

too east-west, so tonight we wanted to change that." Just 35 seconds later, the Sabres up 2-0 after Brad Boyes beat Garon with backhander for his first of the season. "We knew they were going to come out with a strong start, but yet we weren't ready," Tampa Bay forward Ryan Ma-

lone said. "They were winning the battles and took it to us early. We just tried to keep it simple because we knew there was a lot of game left." But Tampa Bay settled down after Buffalo's opening flurry, and goals from Lecavalier and Nate Thompson tied the game at 2-2 before the period ended.

The Lightning grabbed the lead at 4:42 in the second, when Matt Gilroy whipped in a shot towards goal and Steven Stamkos redirected it past Ryan Miller for his fourth of the season. Malone provided what proved to be the winning goal with 1:23 left in regulation -- Boyes fed Nathan Gerbe with 33 seconds left to make it a one-goal game again. "One of the toughest games I've ever had to coach in the NHL, if not the toughest," second-year Lightning coach Guy Boucher said. "We didn't come out at first, and we were giving the puck away every two seconds. You're looking at your bench and saying, 'I've got nobody to throw out there.' So slowly we had to build them, one guy at a time." Miller, making his fourth consecutive start, finished with 19 saves for the Sabres, who have blown leads in losing both of its games at home. "We got on them hard, we skated well, and did some good things early on," captain Jason Pominville said. "After that, we kind of slipped away from our game."

Well, we’re nearly two weeks into archery season and the reviews are mixed. I have talked to some successful hunters and maybe a few more unsuccessful ones. Given the weather we have had, this sounds about normal. For me personally, the early part of the season has been slow, partially because of the weather keeping me out of the woods. I also believe that the deer in my area are primarily moving at night. This could be due to increased hunting pressure

The Best Hunting Days Of The Year Are Here

is highest when there are fewer does than bucks. When that happens the bucks search and compete harder for the does that are available. Calling deer and the use of scents become more productive when the buck to doe ratio is like this. For people who are managing the deer herd on private land, having a favorable ratio of bucks to does is usually one of the goals. Last weekend was the opener for turkey season. None of the hunters I spoke to were successful, but with the perfect weather we had I suspect some turkeys were taken.

since opening day. The moon also plays a role on deer movement. For this reason I expect more daytime deer movement this week than last. Also we are getting closer to the rut. I expect the rut to be in full swing sometime within the first week of November. That means the best hunting of the year should be the last week and a half before the rut actually begins. This “pre rut” is when the bucks are making scrapes, chasing does around and competing with other bucks. At this time of the year you are likely to see a buck anytime of the day. This activity

The weather on Sunday was so nice that the perch fishermen were able to get out on Lake Erie for the first time in several days. The perch were there for the catching. I heard of at least one guy catching his limit of fifty. Those nice days are getting harder to come by this time of the year. It might be easier this late to go after some Steelhead. I know one local fisherman who has been doing pretty well this Fall. Over all I’m told the fishing has been slow in most of the local creeks. Whether you are hunting or fishing it should be a great weekend to get out there.

DEC Adopts Deer Management Plan Contributed Article DEC Press Release

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) announced that it has adopted a fiveyear deer management plan. The final plan, which has been revised, based on public comment on a previously released draft version, is now available on the DEC’s Web site. “White-tailed deer are an important and valued natural resource for New Yorkers,” Commissioner Joe Martens said. “DEC’s new deer management plan provides strategic direction for our staff over the next five years

and will help us focus our efforts where they can best meet the biological and social demands associated with deer. This plan emphasizes the importance of hunting for deer management, and we are particularly excited to create new opportunities for young deer hunters,” Martens said. “We are also cognizant of the significant ecological impacts associated with deer, and we are eager to more fully bring our knowledge of these impacts into the population management process.” The plan describes six primary goals that encompass the current priorities for deer management and the values and issues expressed

by the public: Manage deer populations at levels that are appropriate for human and ecological concerns; Promote and enhance deer hunting as an important recreational activity, tradition, and population management tool in New York; • Reduce negative impacts caused by deer; • Foster public understanding and communication about deer ecology, deer management, economic aspects and recreational opportunities; • Manage deer to promote healthy and sustainable forests and enhance habitat conservation efforts to ben-

efit deer and other species; • Ensure that the necessary resources are available to support sound management of white- tailed deer in New York. Public comment on the draft deer management plan was carefully reviewed by the Department, and several notable changes were made in the adopted plan, including: Changing to a 5-year cycle for evaluating deer population objectives; DEC removed the proposal to completely discontinue either-sex and antlerlessonly tags; DEC is committing to implementing a youth deer hunting opportunity.

Details related to timing and structure of a youth hunt have been removed from the plan so as to allow continued discussion to identify the most appropriate option; and DEC clarified that a special antlerless-only season for muzzleloader hunters will only occur as the 3rd phase of a multi-phase process, and only in WMUs where additional doe harvest is needed. DEC intends to begin implementing strategies of the deer plan immediately. While many strategies will take several years to develop, DEC expects to begin rulemaking to implement a number of hunting-related aspects of this plan prior to

the 2012-13 hunting seasons, including: Establishing a youth deer hunt; Starting the Southern Zone bow season Oct. 1; Allowing DMPs to be used during the bow and early muzzleloader season in the Northern Zone; and expanding mandatory antler restrictions into 7 WMUs in southeastern New York. DEC strives to provide a deer management program that balances diverse public interests and values with the biological needs and ecological relationships of deer, for the benefit of New York’s white-tailed deer herd and the people of New York.

Tandem racing raises questions, but may be ‘lesser of two evils’

he debate over tandem-style racing at Daytona and Talladega, where two drivers hook up bumper-to-bumper and race that way lap after lap, will continue long after the circuit moves from Talladega Superspeedway to other type tracks. The tandem racing has seemed to cut down on the grinding multi-car crashes that occurred when drivers ran in giant packs on their own, but there’s still a great likelihood of wrecking, as evidenced by the fact that four of the 12 Chase drivers were involved in crashes and finished outside the top 30, and three others laid back and finished between 25th and 27th. And it sets up a scenario where the forging of drafting alliances could lead to questions about whether team orders are being issued. Jeff Burton, who finished second to his Richard Childress Racing teammate Clint Bowyer after running up front most of the day, said that while tandem racing has its drawbacks, it’s the lesser of evils. “The one thing it does do is it does separate the field a little bit,” Burton said. “That’s not all bad. I’ve come here for a long time. Every time I come here, I’m pretty sure I’m going to get in a wreck. That’s a little odd way to race.” But he said the two-car drafts do create wrecks, as fans saw on Sunday when a slight wrong move by a drafting partner sent the leading car spinning. It happened to Chase driver Ryan Newman, who spun after contact from his teammate and car owner Tony Stewart. “To me the tandem thing creates wrecks,

but overall I think there’s less cars wrecked because of the tandem thing versus not having it,” Burton said. “I think overall it’s better. It does spread the pack out a little bit, but it doesn’t do it in a way that’s boring.” Burton went on to say that he didn’t think Sunday’s race was boring, even though there were few instances where fans got out of their seats. “There was a lot going on in the front,” he said. “I don’t know why, if you watched that race, any part of that race was boring. That’s just my opinion.” Jeff Gordon thought he had Trevor Bayne for a drafting partner in the final run to the checkered flag, but Bayne backed off and instead tried to help fellow Ford driver Matt Kenseth. Gordon said Bayne told him that he was obeying instructions from his team, a comment that Bayne appeared to back up in several post-race comments on Twitter. “I think everybody knew coming into the weekend, the Fords made it very clear about what they were doing in working with one another and helping one another out and all those things,” Gordon said. “So I didn’t expect [Bayne] to commit to me on the radio. I expected him to say, ‘Man, I’m sorry, I can’t.’ And when he said, ‘Yeah, I’m pushing you; we’re good,’ I believed him. But I think they had a different plan.” Brad Keselowski, who at age 27 has become one of the best at looking at the big picture of NASCAR racing, said the bigger issue is that the practice of two cars running as one goes

6. Kyle Busch -40 (finished 33rd) After a runner-up finish at Charlotte, the regular season points leader appeared poised to make a Chase charge, but a crash at Talladega left him in a precarious position. His crew chief Dave Rogers vowed not to give up. “We’re going to try to lead every lap and win every race from here on out,” he said. 7. Jimmie Johnson -50 (finished 26th) He needed a good finish at Talladega to rebound from his Charlotte crash, but he didn’t get it. Neither did he give up on the season. “We’ll just keep fighting,” he said. “I want to finish as high as I can in the points. If it isn’t the championship, I want to finish as high as I can possibly finish.” 8. Kurt Busch -52 (finished 36th) After keeping his car out of harm’s way for 175 laps, he was involved in a nasty crash. “Our championship hopes are done just because of this two-car Talladega draft,” he said. 9. Dale Earnhardt Jr. -74 (finished 25th) The five-time Talladega winner had an atypical day as he lagged back rather than ran at the front of the pack. But when it came time to go, he was mired too far back to make a charge. “We were in a good position to make our move inside those 20 laps to go and we just kept having cautions and that sort of hurt our strategy a little bit,” he said.

Brad Keselowski worries that tandem racing ‘goes against the basic principles’ of the sport. (NASCAR photo) against the basic principles of the sport. He said that while tandem racing does tend to produce close finishes, there are other aspects of the sport that are just as important to fans, including manufacturer rivalries, driver rivalries and pure competition. “If you judge the sport by close finishes, there’s no doubt that tandem racing produces some of the best finishes,” he said. “If it hits the core of what the sport is about, I think most people would say ‘no.’ “The core of the sport has been based on man and machine against another man and machine, not man-plus-machine-plus-manplus machine against the rest of the field. “It kind of violates the core of what the sport is about in order to get a close finish. It’s an interesting trade-off.”

10. Jeff Gordon -82 (finished 27th) He was in position to bid for the win at the end,but he said his potential drafting partner, Trevor Bayne, backed off at the last minute supposedly due to orders from the Ford camp. “I thought it was a nobrainer,” Gordon said. “But I probably should have known better.” 11. Denny Hamlin -84 (finished eighth) He scored his second straight top-10 finish in the Chase and second in a row,but it came too late to help him make a run for the title. He spent most of Sunday trying to find a drafting partner. “The best I can describe it is we were without a date to the prom, so I was just hitting on everyone’s mom,” he said. 12. Ryan Newman -88 (finished 38th) His bad luck in the Chase continued as he spun in the entrance to Turn One while running in tandem with his Stewart-Haas Racing teammate, Tony Stewart.

NOTEBOOK

Late entrant Wallace wins Truck series race Over the years, Talladega Superspeedway has had a history of rewarding underdogs. Among the track’s Sprint Cup winners are drivers including Richard Brickhouse, James Hylton, Dick Brooks, Lennie Pond, Ron Bouchard, Bobby Hillin Jr., Phil Parsons and Brian Vickers. On Saturday, Talladega’s Camping World Truck Series race produced another feel-good story as Mike Wallace, who wasn’t even scheduled to run the race until a few days beforehand, used strong pushing from teammate Ron Hornaday Jr. to lead 54 of 94 laps in winning the Coca-Cola 250 Powered By fred’s. It was his ninth career major NASCAR victory and his first since winning a Nationwide Series race at Daytona in 2004. The 52-year-old brother of NASCAR racers Kenny and Rusty Wallace was tapped by Kevin Harvick to fill in for Elliott Sadler, whose wife is expecting the birth of a child. Although Wallace once was regarded as one of the best drivers on restrictor-plate tracks, he hadn’t gotten many opportunities in fast cars in recent years. Lately, he’s been driving Nationwide Series cars for independent owner Johnny Davis. That made his latest win even more special, as he told reporters at Talladega. “A lot of people doubt you,” he said. “They doubt your ability. An opportunity like this just proves that I can get it done. “This is so big for somebody who kind of struggles in their career. This isn’t just a regular win. This is a big stage. This is Talladega. It means a lot. It’s very emotional, very rewarding.” It also was a special experience for Harvick. “I don’t know that I’ve ever had as much fun in Victory Lane,” he said. “To see the emotion and excitement from Mike, that is one of the most rewarding things you can ever ask for as a person. It was a lot of fun.” Hornaday had plenty to celebrate afterward as well. His second-place finish allowed him to close to within 16 points of leader Austin Dillon with three races left to run. James Buescher is second, three back of the leader, and Johnny Sauter is 14 points out of first place.

Thursday, november 17 Woodsongs Coffeehouse Radio Hour

Jeff Erickson: Jeff may be best known as the guitarist for 10,000 Maniacs. We will see, though, that there is more to Jeff than the masterful and unique guitar work he brings to that band. Jeff is a songwriter, a song stylist, and a fine singer in his own right. Having led the interesting project, Last Stop Willoughby, Jeff showed that his depth of musicality deserves attention devoted exclusively to it. We will get a first-hand, privileged look at just that on the November Woodsongs show.

Cammy Enaharo: Cammy is a worthy ukulele player, a heartcapturing

singer, and most of all, an original and deeply insightful songwriter. She writes touchingly and compellingly from the perspective of her youth; she is 20 years old. Her dedication to her craft is evident. Cammy’s recent summer break from college was spent attempting to support herself by busking on the street. She plays open mic nights, for friends, and anywhere she can ﬁnd someone to listen. Woodsongs is proud to be able to showcase a young artist at this stage of her nascent career.

Flavor of the Week – Andriaccio’s By Dusten Rader Entertainment Editor

Among the many good reasons there are to explore the scenic lake in Mayville there lies an Italian family tradition that is most definitely worth discovering. With almost thirty years of holding a great reputation Andriaccio’s restaurant is a destination that should be on every local and traveler’s map. Andriaccio’s was established in 1982 by Guy and Antoinette Andriaccio. In celebration of thirty year’s of success there will be an anniversary open house held in February of 2012. More details will be announced closer to the occasion. Three generations have been involved throughout the years of Andriaccio’s triple decade run. Nick’s mother and father came to the Chautauqua area in 1982 and converted a vacant gas station into a restaurant. It started out as a small operation that served breakfast, lunch and dinner. And, over the years has grown into a well respected eatery that serves lunch and dinner 7 days a week year round. Nick his wife Sally now operate the the business. Plus, their children are also now involved. Their four children work in the restaurant including their 19 year old daughter Amanda who helps manage. “The third generation is really starting to come into their own,” said Sally. “And, I hope that someday they will want to take over the business to continue the family tradition.” “Owning a restaurant is all about perseverance, learning to adapt to the culture of your business and the industry,” said Nick. “It takes a lot of dedication and devotion. You have to be passionate and have the desire and discipline to weather

A charming dining room awaits customers. (Photo by Dusten Rader) the storms and ups and downs of the economy and all the other challenges that come with owning your own business.” He also believes it’s important to take care of the employees so they feel a sense of ownership. “That’s what makes a business successful,” said Nick. “You have to be able to take a person and make them good

at what they need to do for the company. They also have to be passionate about it and want to do it. I think we do that well with our employees. They make sure it all gets executed so that our guests want to keep coming back.” In the kitchen there are four chefs who take great pride in what they do: cousin Vinnie, General Manager Vern, Chris

With professional training and having studied the culinary arts, their creativity and skills are put to the test in all areas of the business, including higher end weddings and other catered events. Among other employees Rhonda and Shirley have been part of the staff for many years. Front manager Carrie Gifford is a new addition to the staff

and according to Sally she has quickly become an integral part of the business’s growth. There are many ways to experience Andriaccio’s. Guests can sit in to enjoy a meal surrounded by an Italian themed atmosphere and complete with local flair. There is a full bar stocked with beer, liquor and wine. Plus, customers can order online for takeout or delivery.

“We just launched the online ordering option in Spring and it’s been really big for us,” said Sally. “They can go on our website and order anything on the menu for delivery or pickup. The advantage to it is that even if we’re busy the order will be

ready between twenty minutes and an hour.” Catering is also a growing, important aspect of the business. The Chautauqua Golf Club reception hall at the Chautauqua Institution is leased by Andriaccios for weddings,

all special occasions and even holiday festivities. High end weddings catered through Andriaccio’s are very popular. Each year they host 20 plus weddings at the golf club and other off premise venues along with golf outings and other

events. They have everything needed ‘in house’ for a great reception, including dance floor, chair covers, china, linens, etc and it eliminates a lot of stress when planning the ‘big day’. Check out their facebook page for great photos and info on

weddings. “The facility is great for Christmas parties (large or small) as well,” said Sally. “We decorate it, play custom Christmas music and have the fireplace going. It’s a wonderful space that’s open through the holiday

We also offer gift cards for those ‘hard to buy for’ people on your list.” In addition to the massive menu that features just about everything food lovers might desire guests can also stop in to enjoy an all you can eat buffet. From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m Monday through Friday there is a buffet set out with homemade soup, pizza, pasta, salad and desserts. And, for only $6.99 it is a great way to introduce oneself to the delicious homemade food Andriaccio’s has to offer. “We’ve had a great response to it in the past so we decided to bring it back,” said Sally. “It offers quite a bit of variety for the price that you won’t be able to find many other places.” There are a number of other specials offered to help customers save a buck. There are pizza and wing combos and lunch sub specials. Another way to get a good deal and try out the experience at Andriaccio’s is the two for $20 special. Guests can pick one appetizer and two entrees off the menu all day every day. Andriaccio’s has become well known for their pizza and wings. The pizza features

Italian Nachos. (Photo by Sally Andriaccio) Deep fried ice cream. (Photo by Sally Andriaccio)

Grandma Coppola’s recipes for sauce and dough. A local favorite is the Neapolitan with seasoned garlic oil, a light layer of tomato sauce topped with spinach, mushrooms, sweet peppers, mozzarella fontinella and Parmesan cheeses. The meat lovers Coppola’s pizza is also a popular choice. It includes capicola, salami, sausage, bacon, seasoned garlic oil, tomato sauce, with roasted sweet peppers, mozzarella, fontinella, crumbly blue and Parmesan cheeses. Plus, the dozen or more sauces for the wings are made in house by the chefs. However, the menu is much more extensive than pizzeria style food. There are salads, calzones, Italian specialties, steaks and seafood, paninis, flame grilled burgers, wraps, submarine bomber sandwiches, appetizers and desserts. The menu also caters to vegetarians and those who have special dietary needs. For those guests many of the items can be ordered meatless and there is a gluten free pasta available. There are about a dozen salads on the menu with the most popular being the Greek salad with grape tomatoes,

feta cheese, red onion, olive mix and peperoncini seasoned oil with vinegar Greek dressing. The new Pittsburgh salad comes with a choice of steak or grilled chicken over mixed greens with grape tomatoes, red onion, sweet peppers, bacon, shredded co-jack cheese and crispy fries. The Italian Specialties menu features classics like spaghetti and meatballs, homemade meat lasagna, manicotti and ravioli. But, there are also unique items like Cousin Vinnie’s Fettuccine Alische with broccoli, mushrooms, sweet peppers, olive oil, fresh garlic, white wine sauce and the option of anchovies. Something every Andriaccio lover should try is Nick’s Homemade Super Sausage submarine sandwich. It has stood the test of time by being on the menu since 1982. It features Andriaccio’s homemade sausage and comes with provolone cheese, grilled sweet peppers and onions. The Special Treats section has quite a few homemade appetizer style items to choose from. The new stuffed jumbo banana peppers are quickly gaining popularity. They are stuffed

with homemade sausage, four cheeses and topped with homemade greens. There are also Italian Nachos, quesadillas and calamari. But, the house specialty Greens Neapolitan is one of the most ordered items. It includes pan broiled greens in olive oil with fresh tomato, roasted peppers, mushrooms, croutons, the option to add sausage and comes with garlic bread on the side. There is even a special menu that features different items each day of the week. For instance: Tuesdays feature all you can eat spaghetti and a pecan trout, Wednesdays a filet of sirloin and 49 cent wings, Thursdays BBQ ribs, Fridays fish fry, Seafood Fra Diavolo and a broiled seafood platter, Saturdays prime rib and surf and turf, Sundays open face prime rib and honey dipped fried chicken.

Movie Review: Footloose Contributed Article Amber Rinehart

Star Rating: 3/5 Over the past few years, Hollywood has developed a new genre of film: The Remake. With remakes and adaptations of virtually every movie under the sun in every possible genre (even documentaries with Grey Gardens) people tend to rally behind one of two arguments, it’s better than the original or this remake should have never been made. I believe that there should third side to the argument, so I am part of the “it may be better than the original or it may be worse, but at least its getting people interested again” club. I also believe that a remake should be able to stand on its own without comparison to the original, so that is how I am going to view this weeks film,

Footloose. I must admit, I was somewhat weary going into Footloose, not because it is a remake, but because the premise is somewhat shallow and threadbare. Ren MacCormick moves to Bomont, Georgia and learns that dancing is illegal. There really is not a whole lot you can do with that plot. Honestly, Footloose was not bad. It has a strong start to get the audience engaged, but quickly slows down and begins to string together a series of seemingly unrelated and somewhat silly events, but the final half an hour of the film is entertaining and emotional enough to make up for the shortcomings of the beginning of the film. I think the best way to look at Footloose is to break it down into a list of pro’s and con’s.

Pro’s -It has great dancing scenes. The music is fantastic and both provide a good beat as well as lyrically moves the storyline forwards. Both Ren and Ariel, are played by professional dancers (Kenny Wormald and

Julianne Hough) instead of actors, which make for somewhat flat acting, but strong dance numbers. -Ren and his love interest Ariel are played by up and coming stars instead of Hollywood A-Listers. This allows the film to have more of an authentic feel instead of “hey look there’s Zac Efron in another dancing movie”. Zac Efron was in fact originally cast to play Ren, but had to drop out. Although I do think Efron is turning into a respectable actor, had he been cast, this movie would have turned into Hairspray Part II or High School Musical IV. Hough, professional dancer on Dancing With The Stars beat out Amanda Bynes, Hayden Panettiere and Miley Cyrus for the role of Ariel. Even though

I all of these actresses are talented, it was nice to see a fresh face. Con’s -The character development is really weak. Instead of being realistic southerns, the people of Bomont were presented as caricatures of southern hicks. The actions of the all of the characters always seemed without cause. They just acted and reacted because the script told them too, not because they had any emotional cause. The character of Ariel was by far the worst with this. Instead of a seeming troubled and rebellious she came off as whiny and somewhat cruel. She did redeem herself and became more realistic in the second half of the film and became much more enjoyable. Overall, Footloose may not be the best film of the year, but it’s entertaining and sometimes that’s all a movie needs to be.

Go Places - U Pick Pumpkins and Corn Maze By Dusten Rader Entertainment Editor

With Halloween just around the corner everyone’s getting ready to have the spooky spirit chill them to the bone. What better way to celebrate the holiday than by braving a corn maze and picking some pumpkins. North Collins has the perfect place to do both. U Pick Pumpkins and Corn Maze, located at W and J Awald Farms, offers locals a family friendly experience that is both affordable and tons of fun. W and J Awald Farms is owned and operated by Wes and Jamie Awald. Wes started the farm over a decade ago. And, they have been hosting the corn maze for 12 years. Together they grow all the pumpkins, squashes, gourds and corn on their farm. So, everything that guests purchase is locally grown and harvested. Because they do all the work themselves their prices are very reasonable and the farm offers guests a non commercial atmosphere that locals have grown to love. “Wes planted the corn as a cover crop for the field and made a small corn maze through it,” said Jamie. “People started coming to the farm wanting to do the trails. So he decided he wanted to make it into a haunted corn maze. Then we got married and when I came into the picture I started prettying everything up.” Over the years the business grew. They always kept in mind that they wanted to a create a fun family friendly place for the Fall season. “Fall is my favorite season,” said Jamie. “So, I really get into it. The decorations, the mums and the pumpkins, it’s just all pretty. I just love to see people having fun.” The corn maze and the Maze of Terror is great for all ages and groups. Local youth are hired

The farm is festively decorated. (Photo by Dusten Rader) to hide through the maze and scare those brave enough to enter. The experience is different depending on whether guests decide to go during the day or at night. Each group of up to six people enters the maze by themselves. The group is alone and there is never a stream of people walking through. It

adds an extra level of fear to the experience when guests aren’t bunched together. And, there are enough stations to rotate through that no one is ever just standing around waiting. Plus, every paid admission includes a free gourd and a glow bracelet. “It’s a real scary,” said Jamie.

Tons of pre-picked pumpkins or pick your own! (Photo by Dusten Rader) “You’re out in the dark, you’re walking in the corn, the winds blowing, you don’t know where you are, you’re trying to get out, you’re hearing things, there’s fog, strobe lights and it all makes for a real scary feeling. People scream and I even remember a couple people peeing their pants. I still get creeped

out myself when I do the corn maze and I’ve been doing it for 12 years. But, it’s for fun.” On Friday and Saturday nights there is a bonfire for guests to keep warm. Plus, there is a snack bar with hot cocoa, apple cider, coffee, burgers, hot dogs, Italian sausages, chili, popcorn, cookies and other Halloween

There is a small hay maze for younger children to play in. There is also a corn box that is filled with corn instead of sand. They can also get their face painted for free. “The kids love it and have a lot of fun,” said Jamie. As for pumpkin picking there are two different ways to find the perfect one. Guests can either choose from a large number of ready picked pumpkins or they can go out into the patch and harvest one of their own. Prices range from $2 to $8 depending on the size of the

pumpkin. There is also a group package deal in which a small pumpkin and three gourds per guest are included in the price. “The kids get to see exactly what it’s like picking a pumpkin from a real farm,” said Jamie. “We plant and take care of them while they grow. It’s a nice field trip for kids who are learning about it in school. They get to go into the field and actually see the how pumpkins grow. It’s a really neat experience for them.” There are also a number of other pre-picked squashes and gourds to purchase as well. There are Hulless Seed pumpkins in which the seeds are just meat and don’t have an outer

shell. There are also Spanish or Cinderella pumpkins, Jarrahdale pumpkins, white pumpkins, Ironman pumpkins, Goose Neck gourds, Small Wonder, Acorn, Carnival and Butternut squash. Local Mums, honey, corn stalks and hay bales are also for sale. “There is a lot of variety and color,” said Jamie. “It’s stuff that you might not see a lot of. Plus, it’s cool because a lot of the squashes are edible too.” Guests can also commemorate the event by purchasing something from the gift shop. It features local items and other inexpensive Halloween themed gifts. If guests want to take a

picture to remember the visit there is a spot with the Awald farm sign and decorations. “A lot of families come to take a family photo here,” said Jamie. “It makes a great picture because it’s pretty with all the trees in the back. Especially when all the leaves are changing.” U Pick Pumpkins and Corn Maze is the perfect family fun experience. There is tons to do and to bring home without breaking the bank. It is also a great way to support local farms and products. So, stop by soon to enjoy a festive Halloween scare. “This is a great place for families to come,” said Jamie. “There

are many things for the kids to do. And, we want it to be an inexpensive way to spend time with the family. We know how expensive it can get to bring out a whole family. Everyone in the family can get something here and have fun too all for a reasonable price.” U Pick Pumpkins and Corn Maze is located at 2258 Shirley Road in North Collins. Hours of operation are from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Sunday with the Maze of Terror on Friday and Saturday night from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. For more information call 716-337-2608 or 716-867-2258.

Halloween 2011 That’s right it’s the time of year again where the weather starts getting chill, the leaves start to change color and pumpkins start to find their way onto almost everyone’s porch. Every year since I was a kid I looked forward to Halloween and this year is no different. It’s a chance to wear a disguise, get sweets and get scared. Some of my favorite things to do on Halloween are watch scary movies, go to haunted houses or hayrides, parties or concerts and tell scary stories around a fire. My absolute most favorite thing to do though was trick or treat. However, since I’m an adult now and I don’t have kids I’ve had to find things to do other than trick or trick. So, this year I’ve found quite a few things to do in Chautauqua County and Buffalo for readers of any age to enjoy. Unfortunately this year Halloween is on a Monday. Which means many people and places may have their celebration start on Friday night, continue on Saturday night and end on Sunday night. The following are a list of scheduled events around the county:

1891 Fredonia Opera House Presents Lenny Gomulka and Chicago Push Contributed Article Rick Davis

Lenny Gomulka and Chicago Push, 12-time Grammy Award nominees for Best Polka Band, will bring their widely loved brand of Polka music to the 1891 Fredonia Opera House on Friday, October 28, at 8 p.m. Lenny Gomulka formed Chicago Push in January 1980. The band was inspired by Gomulka’s heritage and has evolved into the most progressive sound in polka music of the past two and a half decades. Noted for its unique arrangements and innovative musical techniques, Chicago Push has performed all across the country and internationally. Under Gomulka’s direction, the band has received countless awards from various radio stations across the country, booster clubs, promoters within the field and organizations such as the International Polka Association, United States Polka Association and the United Polka Association. The band has been nominated

for 12 Grammy Awards for Best Polka Band. Gomulka grew up in a predominantly Polish neighborhood on the southwest side of Chicago near the stockyard district. The youngest of four children, he began playing drums at the age of 4 and trumpet at the age of 11. He recorded his first record album at age 12 and appeared on Ron Terry’s Amateur Hour on Chicago’s WGN-TV. At age 13, he mastered clarinet, sax, concertina and bass guitar and was granted an exceptional membership into the Chicago Federation of Musicians Union. At 14, he began playing and recording with Polka music legends such as Li’l Wally, Marion Lush and Eddie Blazonczyk. Twenty years later, at 34 Gomulka received his first Grammy Award nomination the first year an award for Polka music was presented. Four years later, he was elected by his peers to the International Polka Music Hall of Fame. Gomulka and Chicago Push created the “Push” style of polka music, which now is

well-known among young musicians and Polka audiences as music that is both traditional and innovative, appealing to Polka fans of all ages. “Polka is a special music, and Lenny Gomulka is a special polka artist,” notes Billboard magazine. “He’s one of the key purveyors of the high energy ‘Push’ Polka style, and he has musically distinguished the

sound in performance.” “Since 1980, Lenny Gomulka and the Chicago Push have been one of the most important polka bands in America,” notes Barry Sher, author of The Nostradamus Polka Page. “Lenny’s top-notch trumpet playing, beautiful voice and creative songwriting have set a high standard for others to aspire to.” “Lenny Gomulka ranks among the best in the field ... and that’s saying a lot in a field that is filled with highly talented musicians. He and his Chicago Push have always been not only entertaining, but inventive, giving the polka a new, more modern image while still satisfying the tastes of polka purists,” adds Polonia Today. “If Polka music will survive and expand its base, it will be because of dedicated musicians such as Lenny,”

Tickets to Lenny Gomulka and Chicago Push are $15 ($13 for Opera House members) and may be purchased in person at the Opera House Box Office or by phone at 716/679-1891 Tuesday through Friday, 1-5 p.m. and Saturday, 2-5 p.m. They also may be purchased online any time at www.fredopera.org. This performance is sponsored by Arkwright Printing. It also is made possible, in part, with public funds from the United Arts Appeal of Chautauqua County. Chautauqua County’s only year-round performing arts center, the 1891 Fredonia Opera House is a membersupported not-for-profit organization located in Village Hall in downtown Fredonia.

Rick Ray Safari Film Opens World Travel Series at SUNY Fredonia Contributed Article Doug Osborne-Coy

Local audiences will soon have the chance to escape the binds of civilization and experience the natural beauty and pure freedom of Africa. This land that belongs to the comedic baboon, fast cheetah, dangerous African Cape Buffalo and majestic lion is the focus of the travel/adventure film “East African Safari,” which will be the opening offering in the 2011-12 World Travel Series at SUNY Fredonia. Filmmaker Rick Ray will personally present the traveladventure film at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 29 in King Concert Hall at Rockefeller Arts Center. This will be a high-definition, wide-screen presentation. Ray is an award-winning cinematographer, writer, editor and director who has created numerous films highlighting diverse cultures and regions. This includes his 2006 opus, “10 Questions for the Dali Lama,” which earned numerous awards. He most recently visited Rockefeller Arts Center in 2008 with his film “Soul of Morocco.” With “East African Safari,” Ray explores the safari destinations of Kenya and Tanzania, topping it all off with a trek to visit the mountain gorillas of Rwanda. Included are stops at Nairobi, Masai Mara, Ambocelli, Kilimanjaro, Ngorongoro, Tarangire and the Serengeti Plains. The film gets “up-close and personal” with the inhabitants of an “eat or be eaten world.” Ray begins his adventure in Nairobi where he comes across the remote Suswa Caves. The

An elephant cross the plains of Africa in a scene from “East African Safari” by Rick Ray. The noted travel/adventure filmmaker will personally narrate the film at SUNY Fredonia on Saturday, Oct. 29 at 7:30 p.m. in King Concert Hall when Rockefeller Arts Center presents its first World Travel Series event of the season. next stop brings astonishment as Ray watches Lake Nakuru turn bright pink with tens of thousands of flamingos. The film reaches new heights – literally - with a stop at Ambocelli National State Park where the tallest freestanding mountain in the world, Mt. Kilimanjaro, is located. To top this spectacle, Ray goes on a search for the largest living terrestrial on Earth, the African Elephant. Upon finding these gigantic creatures, Ray states “seeing wild elephants coming across the plains of Africa for the first time will surely be one of the biggest thrills of your life.” From Tarangire Treetops Lodge to Giraffe Manor, the film also highlights the unique housing that is available as part of many

safari adventures. The luxury and elegance of the housing almost seems out of place in the middle of the remote environment of Africa. Moving back to the wildlife, Ray has a stroke of good luck when he encounters the annual wildebeest migration. This 30-mile-long line of wildebeests is a rare sight indeed, leading Ray to call it “the greatest wildlife show on Earth.” Not only does Ray show the wildlife of East Africa, but he also explores the many unique cultures that call the region home. Each culture has its own deep history that has helped to shape the people’s beliefs and ways of life. In Rwanda, Ray speaks with a young woman who lived

through the genocide, even though her friends and family died around her. Ray also comes to realize that the Rwandans have been able to come to peace with the past and are now a closer community. As the film looks at the many cultures that exist within East Africa, it becomes evident that the people have a spirit that is as robust as the wildlife that surrounds them. To conclude his journey, Ray enters the safari one last time to catch a glimpse of the wild gorillas that live on the Virunga Volcanoes. Once again, he is in luck as he encounters a gorilla family taking a break to feast. Ray gets so close to the gorillas that viewers feel as if they are right next to the animals.

As the gorillas walk off into the mist, Ray leaves viewers with this thought, “something came over me that I won’t soon forget, a deep appreciation maybe, for the wonders of our Earth and for the magic and mystery of the safari in East Africa.” The World Travel Series is sponsored by Fredonia Place as part of the Lake Shore Savings Season. General admission tickets are available at the door or in advance through the SUNY Fredonia Ticket Office (6733501 or fredonia.edu/tickets), located in the modular complex in the Dods Hall parking lot across from the Williams Center. One child 12 or under is admitted free with each paid adult.
