Fredonia Welcomes Five New Businesses to Russo Building By Elizabeth Martin Star News Writer

Preparing for their grand opening this Saturday, Thrive Nutrition, Ciao Bella, Simply Skin, P.W. Design Services, and Fiddlehead Photography are all settling into the Russo Building in downtown Fredonia. This Saturday, Nov. 12 is the grand opening for all of these new businesses. KIX 96.5 and the KIX Chicks will be there supporting them from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. Customers that visit each store will be entered into the drawing for two different gift baskets with gifts from area businesses. Thrive Nutrition is a health and wellness club that helps people become better aware of their weight and eating habits. They are appealing to those who are interested in weight loss, weight maintenance, weight gain, or just to feel healthier. “I find it very interesting when people become aware of their weight and things they can take note of. They become a part of the weight loss challenge,” said Staci who is one of the owners of the club, along with Jim Santamaria and Tami Peterson. When someone first enters the club, they get a mango flavored aloe drink that is good for digestive health. Then, they are served an energy tea to boost metabolism. After this, the person receives a smoothie of their flavor choice that functions as a meal replacement. It is a $6 membership fee after you try the first day for free. Thrive Nutrition is known for their

weight loss challenge. This program is 12 weeks long and consists of 45 minute to an hour long classes. For $35, the individual gets a personal coach, a free body analysis, and informational classes.

Fiddlehead Photography is the next door down from Thrive Nutrition. Danielle Wisniewki is the owner, photographer, and photoshop artist at Fiddlehead Photography.

Honoring Our Heroes

Inside This Week

11/11/11 history and memorials

By Mallory Diefenbach Star News Writer

Veteran’s Day marks the day where America gives honor to all American veterans who have fought in wars across the years to keep this great land safe from outside threat. After all, freedom isn’t free. But it wasn’t until after World War II and the Korean War was the holiday made to include all American veterans, both past and future. On Nov. 11, 1918 an armistice, a temporary hold in fire, was declared between the Allies and Germany in World War I. The Treaty of Versailles, which would end the war, wouldn’t be signed until June 28, 1919. According to History.com, in that month President Woodrow Wilson declared that Nov. 11 shall be the first observation of Armistice Day. The day’s activities would include parades and gatherings, and at 11 a.m. businesses would pause in their activities to honor the hour which the armistice was signed. On Nov. 11, 1921, an unidentified American soldier was buried at Arlington National Cemetery. That same day Congress declared Nov. 11 a federal holiday in honor of all those who participated in War World I. On May 13, 1938 Congress made

Armistice Day a federal holiday. In 1954, after World War II and the Korean War, lobbying efforts of veteran’s service organizations to have Armistice Day honor veterans of other wars paid off. On June 1, 1954 President Dwight Eisenhower signed a bill which changed Armistice Day into Veteran’s Day as well as making it a day to honor all American veterans no matter what war they fought in. In 1968 Congress passed the Uniform Holiday Bill. This bill was made to ensure three-day weekends

for federal employees by celebrating the four national holidays on a Monday. As a result, Veteran’s Day was set to the fourth Monday in Oct. However, many states refused to accept this change and continued to celebrate Veteran’s Day on Nov. 11. The federal government realized the actual date of Veteran’s Day held high significance to Americans, so in 1978 President Gerald Ford signed a law returning Veteran’s Day to its original date. In celebration of Veteran’s Day, restaurants are offering veterans with proof of military service special

discounts. Establishments which are participating are: Applebee’s, Chili’s, Denny’s, Golden Corral, Famous Dave’s, Hooters, Outback Steakhouse, Subway, T.G.I, Friday’s, and Uno Chicago Grill. For more information and other discounts which are being offered to veterans, go to http:// tinyurl.com/28tzxwc. There are numerous of events taking place on Veteran’s Day. Breaking Laces at Mojo’s, a grass roots trio from Brooklyn, will be playing at 104 E. 2nd St. in Jamestown at 7 p.m. An art show will be featuring regional artists at the Adams Art Gallery in Dunkirk from 7 to 9 p.m. Robert Plano, a pianist, will be playing at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Jamestown at 7 p.m. General admission prices for the piano concert are $20, seniors cost $17 and college students are only $7.50. Free admission will be granted to students 18 and under who are attending with a paying adult. For more information on these events visit http://tinyurl. com/73l3ujd. Veteran’s Day in the end is a day to thank the veterans and service men and women who battle on the front lines to keep this great nation free. To all the veterans and service men and women, thank you and God bless.

Mean World Syndrome

Pat Pihl Commentary by Patricia Pihl I often cringed during violent scenes in movies explaining to my kids that it was not good

to repeatedly view such scenes because it would desensitize them to violence. What I didn’t really think about was the effect it would have on how one looks at the world. This changed when my college-aged son spoke about “mean world syndrome,” something discussed in his communications class. The term was coined by George Gerbner, a pioneer who for decades researched the effects of television on society. “Mean world syndrome” as explained by Wikipedia, describes a phenomenon whereby the content of mass media makes viewers believe that the world is more dangerous than it actually is. Through

their own viewing choices. But what about protecting children from the images that will shape their version of reality and the world? This brings to mind the anecdote of the frog that jumps out of boiling water, but when placed in cold water that is slowly heated does not perceive danger and is slowly cooked. At the very least, Gerbner’s research brings an awareness to people’s inability to react to significant changes that occur gradually. The recurrent messages of media which Gerbner showed frame our view of the world won’t be going away anytime soon. The newer technologies including live content, IPT,

depression are more rampant now than ever in history? Gerbner once said “You know, who tells the stories of a culture really governs human behavior. It used to be the parent, the school, the church, the community. Now it’s a handful of global conglomerates that have nothing to tell, but a great deal to sell.” If violence “sells,” is it then just an indicator that we are getting what we want? Is what we want what’s worst for us? Probably. On the other hand, would anyone want to go back to the innocuous viewing of the 1950’s? Probably not. It could be argued that it is an individual’s right to make

what he termed “cultivation,” Gerbner argued that people who watched a large amount of television tended to think of the world as an intimidating and unforgiving place. “But it’s just fake,” was my kids’ response to my protests of offensive viewing. My quick answer was that just because something is fictional doesn’t mean it won’t affect you. Rewind to the 1980‘s. I still remember the response of a family member to the news that I was planning a tent camping trip with my husband: “Are you crazy, there are terrible people out there.” Could mean world syndrome be a reason anxiety and

(internet television), will allow more complete access and spread of recurrent messages, with the potential to impact children to an even larger degree. Gerbner’s research indicated that adolescents who talked to their parents about reality and viewed less of these images had a more accurate view of the real world and were able to more accurately assess their vulnerability to violence as well have a wider variety of beliefs and attitudes. How many can actually say they belong in this camp?

The glass covered structure features a curved south wall, 690 punched window openings and triangular shaped element featuring the United States Constitution etched into glass. The building was designed with the goal of Gold LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification under the U.S. Green Building Council standards. It recently won the 2011 Award for Design and Manufacturing Excellence from the Architectural Precast Association. In keeping with past practice relative to the process of

naming federal courthouses, Congressman Higgins plans to work with House and Senate colleagues to reach consensus on the person for whom the building will be named, after which legislation would be initially introduced in the House. Higgins believes that a compelling case can be made for the late Associate Justice of the United States, Robert H. Jackson, who was raised in Western New York and practiced law in Buffalo and Jamestown. He was a U.S. Attorney General, a distinguished member of the U.S. Supreme Court who presided over some of the most important cases of his time, and was appointed by President Truman to prosecute Nazi war criminals in the Nuremburg Trials. Many jurists, scholars and members of the bar believe that while there are many others who are similarly deserving of the honor, it is fitting that a federal courthouse be named for someone who dedicated his career to the federal judiciary. The historic Michael J. Dillon U.S. Courthouse will house the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, the U.S. Trustees, the Federal Defender and the U.S. Tax Court.

Contributed Article Audubon Center and Sanctuary

Continuing a tradition dating from 1965, a community soup pot, a scrumptious turkey dinner, and an enlightening presentation will combine to make a memorable Thanksgiving with the Birds at the Audubon Center and Sanctuary! USDA researcher Emily Thomas’s presentation on “Getting in Touch with Birds: Bird Banding in the Name of Science!” will highlight this year’s event on Saturday, November 19. At 11:30 a.m., folks will gather around the outdoor soup kettle for which each is asked to bring a small container of their favorite warm soup to add to the mystery brew. The indoor buffet dinner for which Audubon provides the roasted turkeys and beverages begins at 12:30. Participants are asked to bring a side dish (dressing, vegetables, potatoes, salad or dessert) and their own table service, including a mug for soup. During her 1:30 presentation, Thomas will share her bird banding experiences—from intense fall migrations to northern goshawk banding— and explain why the data

Community Foundation Funds to Support “Wii-hab” at WCA Hospital’s New Facility

Opera House Cinema Series to Screen “The Ides of March”

1891 Fredonia Opera House

Through a recently approved grant from the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation’s Karl Peterson Fund, WCA Hospital has been able to purchase a Nintendo Wii, Wii games, and a wall-mounted television for the benefit of its patients undergoing rehabilitation. The equipment is being housed in the new WCA Center for Orthopedics, Sports Medicine & Rehabilitation Services at 31 Sherman Street, Jamestown. “We realize that physical and occupational therapy isn’t always fun and wanted to enhance the therapy experience,” explains Dan Johnson, WCA Director of Rehab Services. “Although the Nintendo Wii is a relatively new tool for rehab therapy, it is already proving to be effective.” “Wii-hab” for rehabilitation therapy is a growing trend across the country for patients recovering from illnesses, strokes, accidents and injuries. Patients use the unique, motion-sensitive game controller to play games to build arm strength and enhance their reflexes and hand-eye coordination. The Wii is useful in therapy for people of all ages because

“The Ides of March,” the political drama directed by and starring George Clooney, is the next featured film at the 1891 Fredonia Opera House. It will be screened on Sat., Nov. 12, at 8 p.m. and Tues., Nov. 15, at 7:30 p.m. as part of the Opera House Cinema Series. Based on the play by Beau Willimon, “The Ides of March” takes place during the frantic last days before a heavily contested Ohio presidential primary, when an up-and-coming campaign press secretary (Ryan Gosling) finds himself involved in a political scandal that threatens to upend his candidate’s (George Clooney) shot at the presidency. The film also stars Philip Seymour Hoffman, Paul Giamatti and Marisa Tomei. Lou Lumenick, in the New York Post, calls the film “smart and solidly entertaining, thanks to one of the year’s top ensemble casts working at the top of its game.” Mick LaSalle, in the San Francisco Chronicle, calls it “the movie to recommend to adults looking for something that’s topical and intelligent and that will keep them guessing.” Peter Travers, in Rolling Stone, calls it “a pulse-racing thriller that hits where it hurts. Clooney’s performance is exceptional and Gosling is terrific in an all-stops-out role.” Peter Howell, in the Toronto

it helps them redevelop the coordination to relearn daily living skills such as brushing teeth and combing hair. Using the game console’s unique, motion-sensitive controller, Wii games require body movements similar to traditional therapy exercises. But patients become so engrossed mentally they are almost oblivious to the rigor. “We are now able to incorporate ‘Wii-hab’ into the daily routines of physical and occupational therapy rehab patients,” said Linda Randall, WCA Supervising Occupational Therapist. “This is resulting in a more effective and enjoyable therapy experience, greater diversity,

and helping our patients reach their rehabilitative goals more quickly.” For more information on the WCA Center for Orthopedics, Sports Medicine & Rehabilitation Therapy, call (716) 664-8400 or visit www. wcahospital.org.

A former Club president will be the main speaker at the November Audubon Photography Club meeting. This Thursday, November 10, Dave Hecei will talk on “Workflow for the Digital Photographer.” Beginning with getting your images off the camera card and making backups so you don’t ever lose them, he will continue with some basic processing to quickly improve a lot of images in the shortest amount of time. “Square crop,” where the final image is shown as a square, is the subject for the image critique that begins at 6:30 at the Audubon Center and Sanctuary at 1600 Riverside Road, off Route 62 between Jamestown and Warren. This crop format presents the subject differently from a rectangular crop where the long dimension usually is how an image is “read.” The camera lesson that opens the 7-9 pm program will be on “Dodging and Burning,” a method to lighten and darken local areas of your image to bring more interest to the subject. Dave Hecei has been taking pictures since he was a small child, shooting nature photos since 1978. He started out shooting black and white and developed the film and prints himself. He soon switched to color slide film, which he used for more than 20 years,

Holiday Mailings to Service Members

USPS Publishes 2011 Recommended Holiday Mailing Dates for APO/FPO Destinations

CRCF

In 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed a bill proclaiming November 11th as Veterans Day and called upon Americans everywhere to rededicate themselves to the cause of peace. Veterans Day is intended to thank and honor all those who served honorably in the military - in wartime or peacetime. The Chautauqua Region Community Foundation is home to several scholarship funds that were created to honor those who honorably served in the military. They include Pfc. Charles S. Cooper, Jr., Sgt. J.C. Matteson, and Lance Cpl. Aaron M. Swanson. All three men were from the Chautauqua Region and sadly died while defending their nation. And while Amy King may not have served in the military, she will be forever remembered as one of those lost during the attacks of September 11th, 2001. Community Foundation Executive Director Randy Sweeney said her fund, the “All for Amy Fund”,

Tax Matters

You Auto Know

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… So the question is, who likes high pressure when it comes to buying a car? I know for myself, the answer is a swift no. It is extremely annoying and quite pathetic on the part of selling dealer or salesman. I know for many folks even the thought of purchasing their next vehicle or just shopping around raises their blood pressure and gives them that fight or flight effect of a stinging pain to the kidneys. I was just discussing my last article about “fluff ” to a friend yesterday. He shared with me an experience he had several years ago at a local franchise dealer. He had just stopped by to look around because he had some time to kill. He was not fully committed to making a purchase. The salesman gave him a price, then each time he shared the fact that he was only looking and not yet serious, the salesman would lower the price or raise his trade in value. He kept stating that he needed to do more research. Finally, after he was fully hounded to death, and the deal had been bettered by thousands of dollars, and he could not tap out from the choke-hold, he gracefully wrote a $100 check to hold the vehicle. My friend shared that he was willing to lose the $100, just so he could get out of the office and go home and have some dinner. It does not have to be like that. Buying a vehicle should be a good experience. It should not be about being strong-armed into making a hasty decision without all the facts. I try to equip my potential customers with the knowledge to make an informed decision. If the deal is fair, the buyer can make their own decision in their own timing after they have analyzed all the appropriate facts and figures. If you are being pushed around, take control of the situation. You have the right to speak your mind. Be honest and tell the salesman that they are being too aggressive and you will be leaving now. If you do not want to be pestered with annoying phone calls after the test drive, state that to the salesman. Remember, you have the power of the checkbook. Please direct any questions that you would like addressed in this column to my email (rwhite@jimwhites.com).

New for 2012

By Kelly Haggmark Contributing Writer

What’s new for 2012 related to federal income taxes? There are several adjustments going into effect in 2012 for federal income taxes due to inflation. Here is a summary of some of those changes.

Personal and dependent exemptions with be increased from $3,700 for 2011 to $3,800 in 2012. The standard deduction is also increasing. For those filing as single or married filing separately the increase is $150 to $5,950 and for married filing joint the increase is $300 to $11,900. According to the Internal Revenue Service, approximately 2 out of every 3 taxpayers take the standard deduction rather than itemizing deductions (www.irs.gov/newsroom). The American Opportunity Credit will remain in effect for 2012. This credit was created under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act allowing up to $2,500 per eligible student for the first four years of post secondary education

for college expenses including tuition and fees, books, supplies, and equipment. You may be able to receive a refundable credit of up to $1,000 even if you owe not tax. Some income limits apply. Medical Savings Account (MSA) provisions will be increasing in 2012. The minimum annual deductible for 2012 will be $2,100 or self coverage and $4,200 for family coverage. The maximum annual deductible for 2012 will be $3,150 for self coverage and $6,300 for family coverage and the maximum annual out-of-pocket expenses will increase to $4,200 for self coverage and $7,650 for family coverage. Phase-out limits for the maximum deduction for student

loan interest will increase by $5,000 for married taxpayers filing joint returns in 2012. The phase-out limits remain the same as 2011 for single filers. And just in case you didn’t think the IRS has a sense of humor, here are some quotes posted at www.irs.gov/ newsroom/article, titled Tax Quotes. The hardest thing in the world to understand is the income tax. – Albert Einstein, physicist. A tax loophole is “something that benefits the other guy. If it benefits you, it is tax reform.” – Russell B. Long, U.S. Senator. Taxation with representation ain’t so hot either. – Gerald

Barzan, humorist. Income tax has made more liars out of the American people than golf. – Will Rogers, humorist. Kelly Haggmark is the owner of Haggmark Tax Service and is currently an Enrolled Agent enrolled to practice before the Internal Revenue Service.

Merritt Estate Winery To Sponsor Buffalo Police Athletic League Fundraiser Contributed Article Merritt Estate

Merritt Estate Winery will again participate as the exclusive wine sponsor for the Buffalo Police Athletic League’s annual fundraising auction. The 11th Annual Fundraising Auction will take place on Tuesday, Nov. 15 from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Salvatore’s Italian Gardens in Depew, NY. Proceeds from the auction are used to support the quality programs and services provided by the Buffalo Police Athletic League.

The PAL was established to provide programs that help to improve the quality of life for Buffalo’s youth. The organization provides a host of different programs suited to fit the interests of any and all individuals who may want to become involved. Different sports programs are offered on a year round basis including basketball, baseball, floor hockey and boxing. The PAL also offers a variety of other diverse programs that may appeal to those youth members who are not interested in sports alone. These “Cops & Kids Clinics” contain an

educational aspect and provide a learning experience for participating youth. Ice skating, tennis, golf and bicycle and helmet safety are just a few of the many aspects of this program that are available. The organization holds many special events over the course of each year. However, the Annual Fundraising Auction is the capstone event used to raise vital funds to continue the invaluable programs that the PAL provides. Over 20,000 children in the Buffalo and Western New York areas participate in these programs annually. While the demand

for services from the PAL continues to grow, so does the need for funding.

Rotary Learns About Business Ethics Contributed Article Jamestown Rotary Club

John K. Plumb, Esq., local attorney and Adjunct Professor, School of Business at St. Bonaventure University, began his presentation by asking a question…Why teach ethics in an MBA program? He noted that currently, as many as 79% of high school students, 60 to 70% of college students and 57% of MBA students (self-reported) admit to

cheating. Corporate cheating, while far from the rule, is also far too common. Mr. Plumb summarized his analysis of the flaw as thinking in a way that justifies a short-term financial gain at the expense of a long-term detriment. He asked the club to consider two questions: Who am I? What would I never do to get ahead financially? Studied indicate that people who have seriously considered questions like these are less likely to engage in unethical business

practices. Rotary’s 4-Way Test can serve as the core of an ethical business model: Is it the truth? Is it fair to all concerned? Will it build goodwill and better friendships? Will it be beneficial to all concerned? Mr. Plumb said when considering an action, a simple check of behavior is to stop, pause, and reflect on the cost, consequences and implications of the action. John Plumb is a graduate of St. Bonaventure University and later received the degree

of Doctor of Jurisprudence from the University of Notre Dame Law School. He was admitted to practice in the courts of New York State and before the U.S. Supreme Court and has held many military, public and private positions. Mr. Plumb is active in the community serving on many boards and committees including the Board of Directors for the American Red Cross of Chautauqua County and as past Campaign Chair for the United Way of Southern

Chautauqua County. Vocational speaker was Todd Allen. Todd is a graduate of Elmira College. He is a Certified Financial Planner and is Assistant Vice President for Wealth Management for Morgan Stanley Smith Barney. He discussed the seven principles of the Code of Ethics for his profession as: Integrity, Objectivity, Competence, Fairness, Confidentiality, Professionalism and Diligence.

Catering And Events

Merritt Estate Adds A Fresh Face To Their Staff Contributed Article Merritt Winery

He will also handle these aspects for some of Merritt’s off premise events including Harvest and

Winemakers dinners. Carr has previous professional experience working as a Sous Chef at the Avanti Mansion in Blasdell, NY. His in depth understanding of catering practices combined with a background in the field of communications makes Carr a perfect fit for the position. “I am excited to be working for Merritt Estate Winery”, said Carr. “While I have gained important professional experience in my past positions, I cannot wait to discover the wealth of knowledge and opportunity waiting for me at such an established organization like Merritt.” Outdoor weddings and events have grown tremendously in popularity over the past year as the environmental movement continues to gain momentum.

WCA Employees Honor Memory of Cherished Co-Workers Fundraise to Support Crossley & Bush Endowment Funds

Contributed Article WCA Foundation

It is sometimes difficult to find the most appropriate way to honor the memory of a deceased family member, friend, or co-worker. For WCA Hospital employees who work within or alongside the Respiratory Therapy department, this task has been met with eager enthusiasm as they continue to pay tribute to the memory of cherished co-workers, Karen Crossley and Denny Bush, by supporting endowment funds named in their honor. After the tragic loss of Karen Crossley in 2006 and Denny Bush in 2011, co-workers and family members created named endowment funds at the WCA Foundation.

These endowment funds are invested for growth and income, and will support the future of WCA Hospital. The Karen Ross Crossley Memorial Scholarship Fund annually provides a scholarship to a deserving WCA Hospital employee, while each year members of the Bush family will help WCA determine the project that will be funded by the Dennis P. Bush Memorial Fund. “Karen and Denny were dearly loved and very influential employees in our department,” explains Jennifer Wendel, Sleep Center Coordinator at WCA Hospital. “We miss them so much, but take comfort in the fact that working together to support these funds is a great way to remember and honor the dedicated passion of our friends.”

Through the combined efforts of these WCA employees and family members, in 2011, The Karen Ross Crossley Scholarship Committee raised a total of $1,330 through fundraising activities which included a golf outing, party, and basket auction. The committee then donated these proceeds to grow both endowment funds. If you, too, would like to support the Karen Ross Crossley Memorial Scholarship Fund or Dennis P. Bush Memorial Fund, or create an endowment fund of your own, please contact Brigetta Overcash, WCA Foundation Executive Director, at (716) 664-5461 or mail your tax-deductible gift to: WCA Foundation, PO Box 214, Jamestown, NY 147020214.

WCA Foundation launches New Logo for Donation Days

Annual giving campaign supports Foundation’s funds for current and future needs of WCA Hospital Contributed Article WCA Foundation

Patricia Phillips and Mary Taylor, WCA Foundation board members and Donation Days chairmen, announce the beginning of the annual campaign which primarily supports the growth of the Foundation’s endowment funds. Mrs. Taylor, chairman of the event since its inception, describes it as an opportunity for the community to support WCA Hospital through the endowment funds of the Foundation. That concept goes hand-in-hand with Foundation’s mission of fostering and supporting the healthcare initiatives of WCA Hospital according to Mrs. Phillips. The new WCA Foundation logo designed to transfer the Foundation’s mission into a visible image, sistering both organizations together, was launched with the 2011 Donation Days campaign. The Foundation’s logo imitates the branded three-character image used by the Hospital to represent the Women’s Christian Association portion of their original corporate name. The Foundation and Hospital work together to raise the funds to build, maintain and grow the efforts of our highly acclaimed community hospital. Funds held at the Foundation which are non-endowment funds used to give immediate needs support to the Hospital include Undesignated General Grant Fund, Cancer Treatment Fund, Dialysis Fund and the Emergency Department Fund. There are 25 endowed funds which give away only the interest earned by the fund while the original gifts continue to grow and create future gifts to the Hospital. They include the general Undesignated Endowment Fund and named funds that are unrestricted in nature and support general needs at the

Hospital. They include the Verland & Doris Danielson Fund, the Clifford S. Davis Fund, the Dennis P. Bush Memorial Fund, the Elizabeth Garratt Taylor Fund, the Hoag Family Fund and the Starr F und. Endowed named funds include the Allen & Barbara Yahn Family Fund for Pediatrics, the Betty Sheldon Starflight Fund, the C. Donald & Marilyn L. Haglund Family Fund for Dialysis, the Carol B. Bogdan Cancer Treatment Fund, the Dr. Harold & Joyce Childress Fund which benefits Cancer Care, the medical library and the Childress Scholarship at WCA Hospital. The Dale C. & Rebecca I. Robbins Fund supports Obstetrics and Maternity, the Dr. Glen M. Ebersole Memorial Fund is for General Medicine, the Eaglesome Family Fund supports grants related to Autoimmune Diseases, the Judy Pollino Memorial Fund is related to Ovarian Cancer, the Kellie Anne Murphy Memorial Fund supports Adult Inpatient Mental Health, the LaVerne M. Meyers Memorial Fund supports the Emergency Department, the Margaret Hitchcock Trust supports Speech and Hearing and the Marie Barone Memorial Fund supports Women’s Cancer Care. The Elizabeth Warner Marvin Funds purchases capital equipment for the Hospital. The Foundation monitors the Karen Ross Crossley Memorial Scholarship Fund, the

Mary Lou Messina Nursing Scholarship and Murray S. Marsh Scholarship Fund for employees of the hospital and graduates of the WCA Hospital schools of radiologic and medical technology. The Florence G. Cass Fund was created with donations from current and past board members to honor Florence, “Flossie,” Cass who retired from the position of Executive Director of the WCA Foundation in March 2011. Mrs. Cass’ affiliation with the Foundation followed decades of administrative volunteerism for WCA Hospital. Contribution to the annual Donation Days campaign may be made payable to W.C.A. Foundation, Inc. and sent to PO Box 214, Jamestown, NY 14702-0214. You may designate whether your donation will support a specific named fund or support the general needs of the Hospital. To satisfy immediate needs your donation would be directed to the Non-Endowed Unrestricted Fund. If you place your donation in the Endowed Unrestricted Fund, the interest earned on your invested contribution will be used for many years to come. To discuss the creation of an endowment fund of your own, please contact Brigetta Overcash, WCA Foundation Executive Director, at (716) 664-5461, Brigetta.Overcash@ wcahospital.org.

Gift Of A Good Retirement By James Redmond, Manager, Dunkirk Social Security Office

When the holidays come, the money goes — usually for presents and parties, greeting cards and traveling to see family. Before you spend that last holiday buck, make sure you set some cash aside for retirement as a gift to yourself. If you haven’t started already, now is the time to begin saving for your retirement — no matter what your age. If retirement is near, you’ll want to hop on a fast sled right away. If you’re younger and retirement seems a lifetime away, it’s still in your best interest to begin saving now — compound interest will help your retirement fund to snowball. Don’t take our word for it. You can check out the numbers yourself. A great way to start figuring out how much you will need for retirement is to learn how much you could expect from Social Security. You can do that in minutes with Social Security’s online Retirement Estimator.

The Retirement Estimator offers an instant, personalized estimate of your future retirement benefits based on your earnings record and a few variables you enter. Try it out at www.socialsecurity.gov/ estimator. We encourage saving for retirement, but there are reasons to save for every stage of life. A great place to go for help is www.mymoney.gov.

Whether you are planning to buy a home, balancing your checkbook, or investing in your 401(k) plan, the resources at www.MyMoney.gov can help you. Be sure to give yourself a holiday gift you deserve. Not only should you set aside some money for your retirement fund, but you should also spend some time looking at these websites and picturing your future retirement.

Dining Out With Diabetes Offers Healthy Choices Throughout November Contributed Article Chautauqua County Dept. of Health

In recognition of National Diabetes Awareness Month, the Chautauqua County Diabetes Task Force (DTF), along with local restaurants and health partners, is promoting the Dining Out With Diabetes campaign during November. The campaign aims to create awareness about the importance of eating healthy foods in the right proportions to prevent diabetes or its complications for residents that are living with the disease. Restaurants participating in the program include La Scala (Jamestown), Sapore (Westfield), Scallion Bistro (Lakewood), WCA Hospital’s Cafeteria and the Pearl City

Cafe (Jamestown), and Webb’s Captain’s Table (Mayville). Each restaurant has designed a “diabetes‐friendly dish” to offer this month that reflects the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) new MyPlate guidelines for Americans. MyPlate guides Americans to important nutrients in the meals they consume based on the size and contents of the plate. The nine‐inch plate should include one‐quarter lean meats, one‐quarter starches, and one‐half vegetables, with a serving of fruit and low‐fat dairy on the side. One of the key factors that led the DTF to run the program is the growing number of individuals and families who are going out to eat. Accord-

ing to the USDA, more than half of adults eat out three or more times per week; 12% eat out more than seven times per week. The USDA also indicates that a third of the calories in an American’s diet come from restaurant foods, nearly double that of 20 years ago. “This means that restaurants in our community are well‐ positioned to influence our residents to live healthier,” commented Linda Fuller, Diabetes Educator for Brooks Memorial Hospital. Kerry Mihalko, Diabetes Educator and Healthy Foods Coordinator for Creating Healthy Places to Live, Work , and Play often encounters patients and caregivers who think people with diabetes

Goodell Promotes Alzheimer’s Awareness, Prevention Events Assemblyman urges proactive approach to illness

Contributed Article Office of Assemblyman Andy Goodell

Assemblyman Andy Goodell (R,C – Chautauqua County) is teaming up with the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America (AFA) to promote a pair of events taking place in November, National Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month. The first event is an inspirational candle lighting ceremony at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Jamestown on November 13th to remember individuals and their families who have been affected by the brain disorder. The second program will offer free, confidential memory screenings and information about successful aging on Nov. 15 at the Kmart in Jamestown. “Many of us know someone who has or has been affected by Alzheimer’s,” said Goodell. “People diagnosed with this serious disease and their caregivers need our support and encouragement. I hope that the community will attend the vigil at St. Luke’s to show their support for this cause and then take the knowledge and strength they gain with them to get their free screening on Nov. 15,” said Goodell. The vigil is part of the 9th annual National Commemorative Candle Lighting sponsored by the AFA. The ceremony will be held November 13 at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, 410 North Main Street, Jamestown beginning at 4:00 p.m. In addition to the candle lighting, participants will have the opportunity to read names of individuals who had or have Alzheimer’s disease. For more information, call St. Luke’s at 716-483-6405 or visit www.stlukesjamestown.org. Hundreds of other organizations across the country will similarly light “candles

of care” on the 13th and throughout the month. AFA also invites the public to light virtual candles and record the names of loved ones in the Book of Remembrance on AFA’s National Commemorative Candle Lighting web site, ww.candlelighting.org. Father Eric Williams of St. Luke’s will lead the service. “As a pastor, I recognize the tremendous impact that Alzheimer’s and other diseases that cause dementia are having on so many families,” said Fr. Williams. “The strain on those afflicted and on their families and loved ones, and particularly their care givers, is really taking a toll, physically, emotionally and spiritually. This service has personal meaning for me as I pray for my mother who is herself afflicted and for my father who is her loving companion and care giver.” Eric J. Hall, AFA’s president and chief executive officer, said the event has gained ground each year since AFA introduced it in 2003. “The disease takes an enormous emotional toll on families so events like this that let them know they are surrounded by love and care are extremely meaningful,” said Hall. Kmart Pharmacy will provide the memory screenings at Kmart Pharmacy’s Health and Wellness in-store event at 975 Fairmount Avenue, W.E., in Jamestown on Tuesday, Nov. 15, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. For more information, call the Kmart Pharmacy at 716-4880640 or the store’s main line at 716-488-0755. “Community memory screenings are a vital resource to begin a dialogue with a healthcare professional and to learn more about brain health. They prompt critical next steps,” said Hall.

Qualified healthcare professionals administer the screenings, which consist of a series of questions and tasks, and take five to ten minutes. Screening results are not a diagnosis, and individuals with below-normal scores or who have concerns are encouraged to pursue a full medical exam. Event sponsors include Forest Laboratories and Senior Helpers as silver sponsors, with Accera Inc., Eli Lilly and Company, and Novartis as remembrance sponsors. For more information about National Memory Screening Day, visit www. nationalmemoryscreening.org or call 866-AFA-8484. Alzheimer’s disease, which results in loss of memory and other intellectual functions, is currently the sixth leading cause of death in the United States. It affects as many as 5.1 million Americans and its incidence is escalating in line with a growing older population, including baby boomers who began turning 65 this year. Advanced age is the biggest known risk factor for the brain disorder. The Alzheimer’s Foundation of America, based in New York, is a national nonprofit organization that unites more than 1,600 member organizations nationwide with the goal of providing optimal care and services to individuals confronting dementia, and to their caregivers and families. Its services include counseling and referrals by licensed social workers via a toll-free hot line, e-mail, Skype and live chat; educational materials; a free quarterly magazine for caregivers; and professional training.

cannot eat certain foods. “The truth is, they can eat any food as long as they eat the right portion size and adjust their daily calorie intake accordingly,” Ms. Mihalko remarked. “The MyPlate method makes it easy to make healthy meal choices.” Having watched her own father deal with diabetes, Melanie Yannie, Banquet and Events Manager for La Scala, knows that it can really affect quality of life. “Eating healthy just makes sense‐ not just for people who are living with diabetes, but for everybody. At La Scala, we have been working to offer more fresh, local, and nutritious foods to our customers‐ like the produce we grew on‐site last summer. Participating in Dining Out With Diabetes gives

us another opportunity to get that message out.” WCA Hospital is participating in Dining Out With Diabetes for the benefit of their patients, visitors and employees. Meals designed to meet MyPlate guidelines will be served weekly in both the WCA Cafeteria and the Pearl City Café. For every ten healthy items purchased, customers receive the eleventh for free. “We are also taking advantage of the patient dining experience, using meal time as an opportunity to educate our patients about healthy lifestyles. MyPlate guidelines have been printed on cards that will be handed out with every meal,” shared Toni DeAngelo, WCA Wellness Program Director. In addition to eating a variety

of low‐fat foods and cutting down on calories, individuals can boost up their physical activity to help prevent diabetes or delay its onset. Just 30 minutes of moderate physical activity per day, five days a week can make a difference. The Chautauqua County Diabetes Task Force is a collaboration of representatives from local hospitals, health care providers, County government, and diabetes educators. The DTF works to prevent diabetes and complications of the disease in those already diagnosed or those who are at risk. More specifically, they aim to encourage County residents to make healthier food choices, increase physical activity, and implement systems changes in local diabetes care.

Free Rabies Clinic Scheduled Contributed Article Chautauqua County Dept. of Health

The Chautauqua County Department of Health announces that the final free rabies vaccination clinic of 2011 will be held on Thursday, Nov. 10 from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at the Town of Chautauqua Highway Building on Patterson Street in Mayville. The clinic is sponsored by the Health Department and Dr. Joseph Powell is the attending veterinarian. Vaccinations will be provided free of charge to all dogs, cats and domesticated ferrets three (3) months of age and older. Please know that all

pets must be on a leash or in a cage; and you should bring rabies vaccination records for each animal that will be receiving a shot. It is helpful for the veterinarian to know the previous immunization status of each animal to ensure proper and effective vaccination. New York State law requires each dog, cat and domesticated ferret over the age of four months be vaccinated against rabies. County residents are encouraged to be responsible pet owners by having pets vaccinated. Rabies is a very serious disease of warm-blooded animals caused by a virus.

Raccoons, bats, skunks and foxes are the common disease carriers. The virus is transmitted to humans and animals through saliva. It can enter the body from a bite, scratch, scrape or open cut. The rabies virus infects the central nervous system, causing brain swelling and ultimately death within days of the onset of symptoms. For more information on the November 10 clinic and rabies in general, please see the Health Department’s website at: www.myhealthycounty. com or contact the Health Department at 1-866-6046789.

YWCA Westfield News Creating a Culture of Giving

By Katie Smith Contributing Writer

With the assistance of Pastor Chad Heim the Advantage After School Program has been able to jump-start a community service group with the Middle/High School portion of the program. The group meets on Tuesdays at 3:00 in the WACS cafeteria and aims to provide 1 community service project each month. The students started the year off by brainstorming projects they would like to complete throughout the school year.

Their first project kicked off on Tuesday, November 1 when the group walked to Welch Field and raked the skate park and playground. Some of their plans for the future include: hosting Bingo at Absolut Care, a Christmas gift drive for local families in need, and fundraisers for various local organizations. If you have a project idea for the community service group, please contact Michele Meleen at 326-4012. Board Meeting November meeting of the Board of Directors of the YWCA will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 15 at the YWCA building, 58 S. Portage St. The executive committee meets at 6:30 with the full board meeting beginning at 7 pm. Women who are interested in serving on the board of directors are invited to contact

the Y administrative offices at 326.2011 and request an application. Holly Tour “We are pleased to report holiday music will be featured at the YWCA during the Holly Tour, we welcome Nancy Jopek as our volunteer piano player, but we could use more musicians.” reported executive director Katie Smith, “There are two pianos at the YWCA, having both of them played during the Holly Tour would add a great deal to the atmosphere. We’re also looking for a few more volunteers willing to be guides and escorts during the upcoming Holly Tour. We have decorated the entire building, the tour will include upstairs and downstairs, the more guides we have the better it will be for the visitors ….. just give the Y a call at 326.2011 and we’ll work with

your schedule.” Zumba “The response has been fantastic, but there’s room for more.” that’s the report from Jennifer Vahl, the Zumba instructor at the YWCA. Classes meet each Monday at 6:30; participants are engaged in an hour of fun, energetic aerobic exercise. The monthly fee is $25 for Y members and $35 for potential members. Registration and payments can be taken during office hours or on Mondays prior to the class. Membership Renewals New memberships or renewals can be paid to the YWCA during daytime business hours or on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. Membership rates remain at $20 for adults and $12 for seniors. Members who are more than

30 days overdue for renewal have had their workout access limited; once the membership is renewed and paid up their PIN will be reactivated and any visits on the account will be valid. Youth Center The YWCA youth center is open each Thursday evening from 7 – 9 pm. Boys and girls in 6th grade and up are invited to attend. Activities include movie night, arts and crafts projects, open gym and special use of the workout center. A snack is provided and often the kids are involved in the making of that.

ing spatula. Next, I added the sand-dollar stamp (purchased at a stamping show, so no manufacturer’s information) in the lower right corner in Close to My Heart’s Gypsy, a “ditto-sheet” purple. Then came the “Fort Myers Beach” title in Making Memories Hudson Tangerine rub-on letters. The block-style letters in a distressed style remind me of the 80s-style souvenir tshirts sold in the stores, albeit without the paint splotches and neon colors. Finally, I adhered some seashells and dried seaweed in an embellishment cluster on the lower left using Glossy Accents, a strong, clear adhesive. I love the fabric-like texture from the color catchers and the soft, yet beachy colors that just happened to collect in my laundry. The total cost for this project will be far less than one meal at a restaurant, and give me something to look forward to working on while I’m in Florida. The vacation

from the “scrap guilt” alone, though, was worth it. I can’t wait to see what the inspiration will be on my next trip. Do you take a vacation from your crafts when you’re out of town? What do you bring with you, scrapbook-related or otherwise? Send me an e-mail at awalterich@sunsetscrapbooks.com and you may be featured in an upcoming column.

reveals that His reward for obeying Him is that you will be overwhelmingly blessed! While space does not permit me to list all of these blessings (28:3-14), some of these blessings pertain to material wealth. This is God’s promise to His children. In contrast, Deuteronomy 28:15 says: “But it shall come to pass, if you do not obey the voice of the LORD your God, to observe carefully all His commandments and his statutes which I command

you today; that all these curses shall come upon you and overtake you.” Verses 16-68 clearly define these curses including several references to poverty and lack. So you see a clear indication of God’s blessings on those who seek Him and that poverty and lack are not His desire otherwise why would God send His Son to free us from any curse in our lives (Galatians 3:13)?

have to be your cage. The devil will try to continue to bring trial in our lives to convince us away from our true nature as God’s children. Trials will try to convince you that your faith doesn’t work and that God isn’t hearing your prayers. God is hearing! Don’t settle in and accept any defeat. Keep using your faith. Only a domesticated Christian gives up and becomes tamed. I am not going to let trials adapt me to defeat just because they try to associate with my life. Metaphorically speaking, we are wild animals! Ephesians 1:3 says that we have already been given every

spiritual blessing in Christ. Is wisdom a spiritual blessing? Is healing a spiritual blessing? According to Acts 10:38 it is. Ephesians 1:4-7 goes on to describe the Christians as chosen, holy, adopted by God, accepted, and redeemed! That’s your true nature and don’t be convinced away from it by trials. Ephesians 2:5-6 says that every believer is alive, risen, and seated together with Christ! That is all you need to know to start believing that you already have the victory in this life.

Scrapbooking Today By Anne Walterich Contributing Writer

When I’m not enjoying the rural charms of Chautauqua County, I like to visit my “home away from home” in Fort Myers Beach, Florida. The vibrant tropical atmosphere, “Speedo-patrolling” and, of course, the white sand beach on the Gulf of Mexico offers a truly relaxing vacation after a busy summer season in Sunset Bay. Although I like to scrapbook when traveling, I don’t always find the time or inspiration to complete my pre-planned projects. As much as I like to have a finished product to bring home with me for a sense of accomplishment and proof that I was not completely lazy, I sometimes just don’t feel like it. I don’t find this to be the same when I’m at home and working on a page about a vacation

or trip out of town. Reliving the fun on an ordinary day at home is a much different experience than trying to scrap on vacation about an event at home. It’s a reminder that I have to leave the coconut palms and tiki bars much sooner than I would like to. With this in mind, I decided to try a different approach for this vacation. I would not bring one of the scrapbooking projects on my to-do list from home, and instead work on a project that was specifically for fun. Relieved of the pressure of my other projects, I enthusiastically planned an openended, long-term altered book just for my Florida trips, since it’s a place I return to often. I packed just my Crop-a-dile, two sets of rub-on letters, two sets of “bling” letters, a few stamps, some tropical-colored inks, one black ink pad, my trimmer, a craft knife, a fold-

ing self-healing craft mat, some 3-D pop-dots, a dry and a liquid adhesive, a cornerrounding punch, two foam brushes, some Mod Podge, a silicone baking sheet and some coordinated patterned paper scraps, as well as the hardcover book for altering. It was nice to have all of those options, but I didn’t wind up using most of them for this

week’s project. I had purchased some new towels for the house in bright colors and washed them with a Shout Color Catcher in each load. I’ve written about these before, and again HIGHLY recommend them for your laundry. The dye residues from the towels’ first washing left deep but muted colors on the sheets, and I decided to use them on the cover of the mini-album. I stitched them together using my sewing machine (yes, I brought it on vacation, but no, this step was probably not necessary for this project.) to create a larger piece of “paper” for covering the front and back cover. I used another to cover the spine in a beige tone, because another bright sheet would have overwhelmed the soft, beachy look I was going for. I adhered them using Mod Podge and an old hotel key as a smooth-

Keeping the Faith

By Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church of Chautauqua County

Does God care about material things? During this latest series, we have been exploring a topic that has been greatly misunderstood. Jesus said in John 8:32 that when we know the truth, the truth will make us free. It is my prayer therefore, that these teachings are helping to free you concerning material possessions. I want you to know that I love the Lord and am fully and sincerely committed to seeking His truth for my life,

family, and for those who read this column. If I believed that God wanted us to be poor…I would strive to be as poor as I could be. I only want to live an obedient and sanctified life for Him. While this particular topic can be a challenge for many Christians, I believe that the Word clearly indicates God’s desire for us to be fully provided for so that we are useful to Him and His plan of salvation. Today I want to show you that the Bible considers poverty

a curse and provision and prosperity are God’s blessing. Let’s look at Deuteronomy chapter 28 (verses 1-2). These verses read: “And it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the LORD your God will set you high above all nations of the earth: (2) And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the LORD your God.” Here God

The Weekly Word Don’t Be Domesticated!

Rev. Tim Stahlman Family Church of the Southern Tier

If we’re not careful, we can become domesticated to the things of this world and start believing that life will never

improve for us. I believe the words of Jesus when He taught us to pray, “…on earth as it is in Heaven.” We must contend for Heaven’s best here on earth because it is obvious that it does not happen automatically. Who told you that financial crisis cannot be turned around? Who says that a disease has to be terminal? What has convinced you that your marriage is hopeless? Who says that your wayward children cannot be restored? Who told you that there was no way that God would ever forgive you? The power and mercy of God is the solution

in the face of all hopelessness. Have we forgotten the words of Jesus in Mark 9:23 where He said, “If you can believe, then all things are possible to him that believes”? What did Jesus mean when He said “all things?” He meant that faith works in every arena regardless of what it looks like. The word “domesticate” means to get used to or to make tame. One definition is to adapt by close association in order to take advantage of. My definition of the word is this: To reduce your freedom by being separated from the knowledge of your true self. Isn’t that exactly what happens

when a wild animal is domesticated? I have been to zoos and aviaries and observed majestic eagles in captivity. Though they were born to soar through canyons and spot prey from great distances and plunge into mountain lakes to grab fish with their powerful talons, they have become the performers of cheap stunts. I have stood by as a crowd was awed by the sight of an eagle snatching a dead mouse out of the hands of trainers. In his true nature, that animal is far more capable. The cage has convinced him to fly lower. The trials in your life do not

Q&A

Cat doesn’t like to cuddle

LA puts teeth in no-bark law

your furniture will be safer

By Dr. Marty Becker and Gina Spadafori Universal Uclick

Some cats show their affection from a little farther away. Q: My cat doesn’t like to sit in my lap, and I don’t know how to change this. Do you have a suggestion? — via e-mail A: Not every cat will be a lap cat, and that’s not something you can change through socialization or training — in part, it seems to be genetically programmed. Even if he won’t cuddle with you, you can encourage your cat to be more affectionate by communicating with him through touch and body language. It’s tempting to stare into his beautiful eyes, but to a cat that’s rude beyond belief. A stare is a threat, so direct your gaze elsewhere when you’re talking to him. Speak in a soft, gentle voice. Spend time grooming your cat. The act of grooming him can be therapeutic for both of you and is a wonderful way to build a bond of trust. Talk to him softly and give him a treat when you’re done. While having your cat sit near you — not on you — may be as good as you’ll ever get, as your bond strengthens your cat may want to hang out with you a lot more than he does now. — Gina Spadafori Do you have a pet question?

t’s a fact of life that cats scratch, and it’s good for them to do so. But you don’t have to live with shredded furniture or ratty-looking walls and flooring. It’s easy to teach a cat to use a scratching post as long as you understand what he’s looking for in the way of communication, claw conditioning and fulfillment of his need to stretch and exercise. Scratching is first and foremost a means of communication. Your cat is saying, “I, Purrcy, was here. Look how big I am, and how high up I can scratch.” That’s why cats like to scratch in places that will be seen by other cats; think of it as feline “graffiti.” Scratching leaves traces of scent, undetectable by people but perceptible to other cats, deposited from glands on the paws. We don’t know exactly what message they’re sending, but it’s obviously important. So scratching on a post stuck off in a dark corner makes no sense to a cat. He’s going to look for an object to scratch that has a much more prominent place in his living area, and that may well be the arm of your sofa. Scratching also keeps claws and paws in shape. It sheds the dead keratin that sheathes the claws, making way for a new covering, and it exercises the muscles in the legs and paws that are so important to a cat’s agility. Stretching is a big part of scratching, and we all know how good that feels. So instead of trying to stop your cat from scratching, encourage him to scratch on objects that are convenient for you and attractive to him. The best scratching post is tall enough for your cat to extend his body full-length when he scratches. A little one-footer might be OK for a kitten, but a full-grown cat needs a post that is at least three feet high to allow him to perform the stretches that are part of his enjoyment of scratching. The post can be upright or angled as long as it’s an appropriate length.

You also need to think about what’s covering the post. Forget carpet! For one thing, cats don’t see why the carpet on the post is okay to scratch but not the carpet on the floor. For another, materials like rope, sisal, hemp and burlap offer a lot more texture and shreddability, making them more pleasurable for the cat to scratch. You want him to think that the post, the cat tree and other acceptable scratching items — hemp mats, for instance — are so great that he doesn’t even want to scratch anywhere else. Choose a sturdy post. The fastest way to turn your cat off of using a scratching post is to buy one that falls over on him while he’s climbing or scratching on it. Cats love materials such as sisal that provide Provide more than one post — them with a really good scratching experience. and don’t hide will attract your cat and entice them away.

Owners would face fines starting at $250 for a first offense, $500 for a second and $1,000 for a third if a hearing conducted by the Department of Animal Services determines that a dog barks too much. Barking is defined as excessive if it continues for 10 minutes or more, or intermittently for 30 minutes or more within a three-hour period. • Your dog may look guilty, but he’s not feeling that way. A study had dog owners tell their pets to leave a tasty treat alone before leaving the room. Researchers found that whether or not the dog showed the “guilty” look did not depend on whether the dog had eaten the treat or not, but rather on whether the owner had scolded the dog. Dogs who didn’t eat the treat but were scolded by their owners displayed the “guilty” look more than dogs who had actually eaten the treat, but their owners did not believe they had, and thus didn’t get scolded. The research suggests that “guilt” seen in dogs is not really an effect of the unwanted behavior that the dog performed, but is instead a reaction to the owner’s behavior. • Nico Dauphine, a postdoctoral fellow at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo, resigned her position after being found guilty of attempted animal cruelty after being caught on camera putting poison into food left out for feral cats. Dauphine’s work, which was brought to public attention during the trial, argued that free-roaming cats are causing irreversible harm to bird populations. Feline advocates, including feral cat defenders Alley Cat Allies, are now demanding the work be disregarded because of the verdict, saying that it reflects her anticat bias. Her lawyer had argued that she was removing the food to keep cats from congregating, and she repeatedly denied the charges. — Dr. Marty Becker and Mikkel Becker

By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

Somewhere in the middle of the third quarter during last week’s Class C Championship, you just knew Southwestern’s Jake Swan was going to take the game over and carry the Trojans back to the state playoffs. After all, the senior wide receiver/ running back was having a pretty good game, but seemed one broken tackle short of busting the game open. Plus with the game tied 0-0 midway through the third quarter, it seemed the next score might be the last. Well, Swan came through. After catching a 20-yard reception on a key third down deep in their own territory, Swan then rumbled for another first down the ground on the next play. Later in the drive, faced with another third down, quarterback Jake Pilling found Swan again,

this time for 22 yards and setting Southwestern up in the red zone.

“Jake has been a consistent player for us all year,” Southwestern head

coach Jay Sirianni said. “Jake is the type of player that makes people around him better.” Tanner Hoose finished the drive by kicking a short 24-yard field goal, which wound up being enough. However, Swan’s ridiculous diving catch for a touchdown in between Cleve Hill defenders Miles Barker and Brandon Davis late in the fourth quarter put the proverbial nail in the coffin. “Our offense seems to find a way to move the ball when we need to,” Sirianni said. “As long as we are playing great defense, we will always have a chance to win a game. Balance is the key to an efficient offense, so we need to work on that.” So after back-to-back state championships in 2008 and 2009 and a miserable defeat to Fredonia in the Class C Championship last year, Continued on pg 2

Class D’s Top Two Teams In The State Square Off In Quarterfinals

By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

Two of the most successful programs in Chautauqua County are back at it again, three wins away from a state championship. But unlike Southwestern, Maple Grove’s ride through the 2011 season has been a bit of cakewalk, or so they’ve made it seem. Before their 34-26 victory in the Section VI Class D Championship, Maple Grove had allowed just 46 points in eight games. Besides Frewsburg — who played Maple Grove tough twice — no team got within 20 points of the Red Dragons. Now, the 9-0 Red Dragons head to Rochester to take on the Letchworth Indians (9-1) the Class D Champion from Section V. But, if rankings and polls mean anything, Maple Grove will be sure to get its stiffest test of the season Friday night with the No. 2 ranked team in the state. The Indians themselves have a had a fair share of beat downs this seasons and their only loss, ironically enough, came against Wellsville — who Southwestern plays in their state quarterfinal game — in the season opener. Since then, they’ve only rattled off nine straight wins with virtually all of them coming via the blowout. Besides Avon, who hung close with a 35-21 defeat in the sectional semifinals, Letchworth has beaten every team by at least 28 points including some impressive wins of 55-7, 48-0,

55-0, 42-7, 44-0, 35-7 and their most recent win, in the championship against Geneseo, 56-6. OK, so they’re pretty good. And so is Maple Grove. It’s pretty safe to say the winner of this game will be the favorite to claim the state title. Leading the charge for the Red Dragons is a stout defense that yields roughly 150 yards per game. The lynchpin is linebacker John Nickerson, who undoubtedly will be named the Class D Defensive Player of the Year. Nickerson will also likely be an All-WNYer. However, that defense was burned by big plays in the Class D Champion-

ship that saw Frewsburg score on an 80-yard touchdown run and a 77yard touchdown reception that kept the game tied at the half. With Maple Grove in need of points, it showed just how talented they might really be when quarterback Alex Grace took the game over. Grace threw four touchdowns on the day, but it was two second half tosses that put Maple Grove in charge. He also scrambled around to buy some extra time late in the first half to toss the game-tying touchdown. Simply put, if Frewsburg wanted to force Grace to beat them, he did. If anything, it made the Red Dragons seemingly more invincible. We

always knew they had a great defense and a strong running game, but until now, we had no idea just how good of a passing game they had. Grace completed 16-of-24 passes for 260 yards on the day. He had thrown for 676 yards in their previous eight games. Meanwhile, Letchworth has a pretty good squad themselves and a ridiculous running game that averages more than 300 yards per game. To put that in perspective, most teams don’t even average that many total yards per game. Chris Nevinger has run for 1,465 yards and 20 touchdowns. Amazingly, he’s done that in only eight games because he missed the Indians first two games of the season. Thus, in games he has played in, Letchworth outscores opponents by an average of 46-5. That’s absurd to say the least. Without him? Average score of 17-15. So yes, he means a lot. Also in the backfield is fullback Clifton Bacon who ran for 879 yards and 15 touchdowns. He’s clearly their shortyardage back. Quarterback Ryan Owens doesn’t do a whole lot through the air, but has run for 393 yards and seven touchdowns. Throwing the ball, he’s thrown for 848 and nine touchdowns. The winner moves on to play the winner of the Westmoreland (Section 3 champ) and Tioga (Section 4 champ) game. That game will be next Friday, Nov. 18 at 5 p.m. also at Sahlen’s Stadium.

Southwestern returns to the state playoffs. “Our program has always been about coaching character,” Sirianni said. “What a better way to test character than adversity. Our team battled back from a regular season loss, a 14-point fourth quarter deficit, and made it to the Far West Regional. I couldn’t be prouder of these guys.” They might not be their usual dominant self, but Sirianni’s squad seems to find a way to keep games close and then win them. It was their fourth win this season that was a one-score game in the fourth quarter. Those close games have been a product of their defense, also led by Swan. While the defensive back has picked off plenty of passes this year, a large credit has to go to linebackers Tyler Uber and Peter Trathen. The Trojans defense held Cleve Hill to just 102 yards of total offense in the win. Pretty impressive considering the Eagles averaged more than 30 points per game coming into the contest and really never even sniffed the end zone last Friday. “During the last month, several other players have elevated their game,” Sirianni said. “The key is playing team football. Jake has been great,

but he is getting a lot of help, especially from the offensive line and defensive line.” Regardless, the Trojans, who had to battle through as an under-seeded team in the playoffs will face Wellsville, who also sprang a few upsets to get here. In fact, Class C around the entire state had more upsets than even ESPN’s Dick Vitale could handle. Six of the top eight teams in last week’s New York State’ Sportswriter’s poll did not advance to the state playoffs, including Cleve Hill. Top-ranked Bronxville lost to Dobbs Ferry. Fellow undefeated teams Greene and Burke Catholic lost to Waverly and James O’Neill. In fact, the only top-seeded team to win their sectional championship was Hoosick Falls, who by default must be considered the tourney favorite. So Wellsville (8-2), the thirdseeded team from Section V, will in their first state playoff game in their history. The Cinderella Lions beat Wayland-Cohocton 23-22 in the sectional final and did so in dramatic fashion. Leading 23-16 late in the game, WayCo scored on a 40-yard touchdown with just 14 seconds left in the game to bring them within a point.

They went for two and the win, but the run was stuffed, capping Wellsville’s surprising run to the championship. Pretty amazing considering Wellsville went 0-8 in 2007. “Wellsville earned a sectional championship last week just like us,” Sirianni said. “They will be focused and prepared this week. They have a real good player in Mike Berardi, the Section V Defensive Player of the Year. He is a very good running back that has a huge line in front of him. Wellsville is a very good team.” Berardi led the team with 177 yards and two touchdowns in the sectional championship. He also led the team with nine tackles. For Southwestern, it is their six sectional title and third in the last four years. They’ve won the state championship twice and will certainly be considered a favorite heading in. “It is great to see our players work and battle, even when things don’t go the way you planned,” Sirianni said. “The legacy that this team is leaving at Southwestern rivals the state championship teams. This is a team that wasn’t supposed to win a sectional title, but they kept faith in one another and earned a trip to the Far west Regional.”

With NBA In Doubt, College Basketball Set To Shine

ave to

m ars

y. our

Chris Winkler COMMENTARY

in withIt wasn’t just another Monday for me this past week. ng Well, the Bills no-show didn’t help, but the best sport on we the planet, college basketball, finally tipped off. The buzz has been extraordinaire for college hoops this offseason. Many of the top players from last season — notably North Carolina’s Harrison Barnes and Ohio State’s Jared Sullinger — elected to stay for another year, causing what many basketball analysts believe to be the most talented pool of player college basketball has seen in a decade. Then, this Saturday night, top-ranked North Carolina and Michigan State will play outside on the U.S.S. Carl Vinson. Next week Tuesday, Nov. 15, ESPN will bring back it’s “24 hours of college basketball” with live games on every single hour of the day. Needless to say, if you’re a college basketball fan like me, Christmas has finally arrived. ar- Of course, though, one of the most anticipated seasons of the sport is being fueled by the downfall of their profesd, sional counterparts. ip. For the record, I’ve never g really cared for the NBA. . Perhaps unfairly too, because if you really like — and know nal — basketball, you would st understand just how much y better the NBA is than college ed basketball. I’ll settle in for the l playoffs because I love the di, sport, but besides that, I just ayersee a drawn-out season that od lacks the intensity of the colge lege game. ille But, perhaps by the end of the week, or even by the 177 time you’re reading this, the s in NBA might just seize to exp. ist this year. Does it matter? six Well to most of you readhe ing this, it probably doesn’t. the Most people in Western New nd York generally just don’t a have basketball very high on their sports totem poll. Not having a team — or a major rs college team — hurts. Havn ing the Bills threaten for the u playoffs hampered it. Having The the Sabres season coincide ving completely with basketball kills it. But, I’m not here to tell you to l care about the NBA. With it’s one current state, the NBA is the o proverbially tree that fell in the woods around these parts. Has anybody heard about the

lockout? While the rest of the rest of the country will forget about the NBA — at least for now — and focus their attention on the college game, it’d be really great if this area gave a little more attention this year, too. And why not? Just in the greater western New York area, there are two players listed on CBSsports.com’s Top 100 players list in the entire country. That’s right, not in a conference, or regionally St. Bonaventure’s Andrew Nicholson, a senior from Mississauga, Ont., is rated No. 51 on that list, surprisingly low to some analysts. He’s one of 50 players selected to the preseason Wooden Award list, given to the game’s most outstanding player at the end of the season. (It’s basically the equivalent to the Heisman Award in college football.) He’s also one of 21 players selected to the Lute Olson Award preseason list, which is annually given the best nonfreshman in the country. In addition to getting much publicity from major media outlets such as ESPN, Yahoo!, CBSsports.com and even the Wall Street Journal, Nicholson is considered by many to be selected in next year’s NBA Draft. He’s one of the most talented players to ever play in this area and if you haven’t had a chance to see him play yet, you’re really missing out. Also, the University at Buffalo’s Javon McCrea, a sophomore from Newark, N.Y., was rated No. 91 on the list. McCrea was even honored as the preseason Mid-American Conference Player of the Year by CBS, all without ever starting a game for the Bulls. McCrea was the MAC Freshman of the Year last year and was the final player cut from the United States Under 19 national team this past summer. He is also tabbed by a few analysts to be a potential NBA Draft pick in the near future. But, it’s not just about the players. St. Bonaventure is widely thought to have one of the program’s best teams in the last decade. Some — myself included — even think they have a chance to play in the NCAA Tournament in March. I understand this area is all about hockey and football. It’s how it is always going to be and I’m not trying to change that. All I’m saying is we don’t have it all that bad here locally with college basketball and it’s still going unnoticed. Give it a try Friday with St. Bonaventure’s home opener or give it a look Saturday when a couple of teams play on United States Aircraft Carrier. Besides, it’s not like you’ll have the NBA to occupy your time.

Former Swim Director LeVoie Spotlighted As Inductee Of The Month Contributed Article Chautauqua Sports HOF

Inductee of the Month Tony LeVoie was born in Providence, R.I. in 1930 and in the 1940s he won the New England junior 440-yard and 1500-meter freestyle championships. From 195153 LeVoie was in the Marine Corps and participated in swimming races and marathons. From 1953-56 he was swimming director at the Fox Point Boys' Club in Providence and received a scholarship to New York University where he took the Boys' Club short course in management and also found time to coach several championship teams. In 1957 LeVoie was appointed swim director at the Jamestown Boys' Club and held the position until his retirement in 1979. In that time he taught thousands of youngsters how to swim. He also coached the Jamestown Boys' Club boys and girls swim team for several years and produced many individual and team national, state and local record holders. Swimming grew in the area because of LeVoie's leadership and dedication. He is also responsible for many

of the awards in the trophy case at the Boys' Club and marks in the record book. In 1964 he was honored for his time and skills in teaching handicapped children how to swim. He also received the Dr. Frank Smeragliulo Memorial Award for his achievements in the service of youth. In 1977 Jamestown High School Coach Bill Rollinger established the "Tony LeVoie Award" in Jamestown because of LeVoie's 21 years of service and dedication in the area of sports and community service. The same year he was recognized by the Fox Point Boys' Club as "Outstanding Boys' Club Man" and two years later he was inducted into the Fox Point Boys' Club Hall of Fame. In 1979 he received the Niagara District AAU President's Award and in 1980 he received the NCCJ Brotherhood citation as "Mr. Boys' Club." He also received the Boys' Club highest award, the "Bronze Keystone" for 29 years of service. Following his death in 1983, the Jamestown Boys' Club board of directors established the Tony LeVoie Educational College Scholarship. Tony LeVoie was inducted

into the Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame in 1985. Jamestown Ironmen Hockey Promotion Craving some hometown hockey? Interested in supporting the Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame?

St. Bona Baseball, STCAC Lead Toys For Tots Drive Contributed Article

St. Bonaventure Sports Information

The St. Bonaventure baseball team, in coordination with the Southern Tier Child Advocacy Center (STCAC), will assist the Southern Cattaraugus County Toys for Tots Program by collecting new toys for the upcoming holiday season at the men's basketball home game against Arkansas State on Thursday, Dec. 1 at 7 p.m. Baseball players will be on hand to accept new toys for the Toys for Tots program, and boxes will be set up around the Reilly Center for fans to donate throughout

the game. Reggie Dallaire, Southern Cattaraugus County Toys for Tots coordinator, said all new toys would be accepted. All toys collected by the baseball program at the RC on Dec. 1 – as well as all those donated throughout the Toys for Tots campaign in the area – will stay in the Southern Cattaraugus County region. According to Dallaire, 2,064 toys were distributed to children in Allegany, Hinsdale, Olean and Portville last holiday season, a record for the program. "It's been growing every year and that's unfortunate," Dallaire said.

For those who cannot make it to the men's basketball game Dec. 1, donation boxes are set up at every financial institution and many places of business in the Olean area. Parents and guardians who cannot provide gifts to their children over the holidays can receive toys from the program by applying at the Tops Friendly Market located at 2401 West State Street in Olean. About Toys for Tots: The program was created in 1947 by Major Bill Hendricks, USCR and Marine Reservists in the Los Angeles area. It exploded into a national campaign supported by the U.S. Marine Corps in 1948.

Toys for Tots took both old and new toys until 1979, when legal concerns and the thought that distributing "hand-me-down" toys would send a poor message to needy children. The Southern Cattaraugus County branch of the program was founded in 1988. About Southern Tier Child Advocacy Center: STCAC is a branch of the Southern Tier Health Care System, located in Olean's Blue Bird Square. STCAC's mission statement is "to provide a coordinated, multi-disciplinary approach to child victims of sexual and physical abuse."

IT’S GOOD FOR YOUR GAME

A model swing: Address This is the first of a series about 11 key swing positions that allow you to match your own swing to a standard model to see how it stacks up. The model assumes a right-handed golfer who is hitting a straight shot. Position 1: Address In the model, your head is in the middle of your shoulders with the chin up off the chest so your eyes peek at the ball. The eye line is parallel to the target line. Arrange your shoulders square to the target line. For the irons, the front shoulder and back are almost level and the foot pressure is 50/50 (weight is distributed evenly). With the driver, the back shoulder is lower with a 70/30 distribution (more weight on the back foot). The hips are square with the irons (or slightly open) and level (or tilted slightly right). With the driver, the lead hip is a bit higher. The spine also has a slight bias to the right with the driver. That bias disap-

Tomasi is The knees a teaching are paralprofessional in Port St. lel to the Lucie, Fla. target line Visit his and slightly website at tjtomasi.com. flexed, about the same amount as when taking a step. The feet are each flared the same amount, between 10 and 20 degrees. The weight is distributed from the ball of the foot back through the heel with the major pressure along the arch. The feet line up parallel to the target line as determined by the heels, not the toes. The spine at address is tilted from vertical approximately 15 to 30 degrees toward the ball, while the pelvis is tilted forward at address about 20 degrees. When standing normally, the pelvis in usually tilted forward about 12 to 14 degrees, so an additional 8 to 10 degrees is added in golf posture.

With the irons, the arms and hands hang directly under the shoulders, as this player is demonstrating. With the driver, the hands are under the chin. The butt end of the club should be about a “fist and a thumb” away from the inside of your front thigh with the irons and a little more with the driver.

The face is aimed, directly down the target line; the body is aligned parallel to the target line and perpendicular to the clubface line. The ball position migrates depending on the club. With the irons it’s located off the front cheek of the face; with the fairway woods, it is off the logo on your shirt; with the driver it’s off the front heel, as in the photo above.

THE GOLF DOCTOR

DON’T MISS IT

It’s better to receive

A package full of accuracy The agony of defeat

“Incredibly, when it comes to learning, the neuron behaves like a giant antenna, with different branches of dendrites tuned to different frequencies for maximal learning.” So says scientist Mayank R. Mehta of UCLA. He’s referring to how the brain runs on the rhythm of an electrical code much like a musical piece composed of notes — which may be why music is such an effective trigger to memory. The key to making this all work is knowing that the brain, which can both send and receive signals, must be in a receiving mode with its antennae up and listening. And while Mehta’s research is brand-new, my 1998 book “The 30-Second Golf Swing” proposes just such a procedure: The golfer establishes a target-to-player bond or link by becoming a receiving station for the information sent out by the target about its location. The target broadcasts in code, a frequency and magnitude as decipherable as Morse Code or a piece by Mozart. To plug into the target, the player must put his or her channels on receive vs. send, and the channels must be kept open to allow the data code to be processed. Now you know why you shouldn’t be thinking about the three-putt on the last hole when you’re about to hit your driver off the next tee. Your mother probably told you that it’s better to give than to receive, but to be a good golfer, it’s definitely better to receive.

SKLZ has wrapped up four swing aids in one neat package to help you stay on the straight and narrow — fairways, that is. This package deal includes: Refiner Pro Graphite Driver: The shaft breaks down when you make a bad swing. Slice Eliminator: Encourages proper in-to-in swing path by giving immediate feedback. Also helps prevent swaying. Smart Glove Wrist and Grip Guide: Keeps you from casting and grooves a proper release for better ball contact. Practice Pod Pro Alignment Guide: Helps ensure consistently square alignment and correct ball position. Use them all at the same time and you’re guaranteed to hit it straight — at least once.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

At the McGladrey Classic in October, a golfer by the name of Billy Horschel hit 15 greens in regulation for three days in a row and was just one shot off the lead going into the last round. Then he missed 10 fairways and eight greens to shoot 75 and tumble into a tie for 20th. The week before that, Rickie Fowler won the OneAsia Tour’s Kolon Korea Open for his first win, shooting a 16-under 268 on a course where only six other players managed to break par, then he missed the cut at the McGladrey Classic. The Takeaway: Don’t give up, because you never know when your game is coming back, and don’t get too cocky, because you never know when your game is leaving. GOLF SPOKEN HERE

A scratch golfer The USGA defines the term: “A male scratch golfer is an amateur player who plays to the standard of the field of stroke-play qualifiers competing at the U.S. Amateur Championship site. He can hit tee shots an average of 250 yards and can reach a 470-yard hole in two shots. “A female scratch golfer is an amateur player who plays to the standard of the field of stroke-play qualifiers at the U.S. Women’s Amateur Championship site. She can hit tee shots an average of 210 yards and can reach a 400-yard hole in two shots.”

TEEING OFF

“My putter is like a French government employee: It goes on strike every three weeks before the holidays.” — Tweet from French star Thomas Levet. ASK THE PRO Q: I have been playing golf for 10 years and have a big dip in my downswing. I have seen video of it, but nothing I have tried to this point has helped. I make a good transition from the backswing to the downswing, but then my head keeps going down (a full 10 inches or more) till impact. I can also see in my videos that I collapse my left arm (I’m a right-handed player) to keep from hitting behind the ball, but I have no conscious feeling of the dip or the collapse while I am swinging. Can you give me any help? — B.H. A: As you suggest, the collapsed left arm is a compensating error for the dip, so let’s deal with the dip first because correcting it will go a long way to curing the collapse (although you may top the ball at first, so don’t let that throw you). Your problem is that you are not using your upper body aggressively as you rotate through the latter portion of your downswing. Your upper body center (a point located halfway down your sternum) is going down, and bringing your head with it, instead

TALES FROM THE TOURS

of opening up gradually as you rotate toward the target. In a nutshell: Your upper body should be rotating rather than moving down. Try this: After you make the good transition on your downswing — stop. At this point, your upper body (shoulders) should be in a slightly closed position, pointing to the right of your target, and your left arm should have dropped down so that your hands are just above your back knee. Imagine that there is a soccer ball hanging from the sky about chest high in front of you. With your next move hit the ball with your right shoulder as you release your right side to the target. This will teach you to release your upper body properly without the big dip. Practice first in stop action, then in slow motion and finally at full speed. Use a mirror and be patient. Since you have been doing it incorrectly for 10 years, it will take some time to change. (To Ask the Pro a question about golf, email him at: TJInsider@aol.com.)

How to troubleshoot your swing To maximize your potential as a golfer, you need to do three things: (1) figure out what you do best and preserve it; (2) know what you do poorly and get rid of it; and (3) know what to ignore. This last point is important because there are so many things going on in a golf swing it’s easy to get sidetracked. In order to troubleshoot your swing, you must set aside some time, then with the help of your instructor and a video camera, progressively scan the 11 swing positions: 1. address; 2. takeaway — lead arm at 45 degrees; 3. lead arm parallel to ground; 4. top of the swing; 5. the transition; 6. lead arm parallel returning; 7. lead arm 45 degrees; 8. impact; 9. both arms straight; 10. the pre-finish; 11. the finish. Remember that this is a general model and that because of variations in body types, there are variations in swing types. For example, to facilitate a better swing plane, a player with a big chest bends over more at address than someone with a thin chest. Also, there is much deviation from this model depending on the desired ball flight. A player who is drawing the ball will set up and swing differently than a player who is fading the ball. Bane of consistency It is possible to have error in any particular swing even though there

may not be error in the ball flight. This occurs when the compensating errors that infect your swing match up and all is well for a while. Unfortunately, swings that feature balancing errors are untrustworthy. This is why golfers periodically lose their swing — compensating errors are the bane of consistency. Here is an example: At the start of the downswing (position 5), you spin your shoulders too early and the club is pushed out toward the ball in an error called over-the-top. The result is a cut-across swing that creates a pulled shot. To stop the pull, you hold the face open by jutting out your front elbow in position 9, an error called the chicken wing. One error compensates for the other and it works, but since it’s so hard to time, it only works sometimes. There is a difference between a matchup that makes the swing stronger and a compensation that weakens it. The failure rate for compensations is why the best golf swings require the least timing, and swings with the most compensations require the most timing. Thus to max your performance, it’s best to purge your golf swing of its error in order to assure that it will hold up under pressure. And this requires a competent analysis.

Ironmen Sweep Weekend Series Over Michigan, Climb Up In Standings By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

It’s been an up-and-down season for the Jamestown Ironmen. Every time they appear to be on the right track, they fall just a little short by the time the weekend is over. But, if last weekend was any indication, they may have finally just settled in. “Our No. 1 goal at the beginning of the season was to get Jake Pollock (White No. 28) prepares to take a faceoff in the better every day,” head coach Jametown Ironmen game Saturday night against Michigan. The Dan Daikawa said. “We’ve Ironmen won 4-2.

“They make smart plays and just move the puck up the ice faster,” Daikawa said. Offensively, Jake Pollock and Bryan Watt were also brought on to help, and have quite a bit. Pollock made an immediate impact scoring two goals in his Ironmen debut. But, he’s had to deal with suspensions lately due to fighting, something that really isn’t a part of his game and has been some bad luck. “When he’s been on the ice, he’s been a huge difference,” Daikawa said laughing. “Offensively he’s great. Defensively, we’re still talking to him a little bit.” It’s a big weekend for the Ironmen again, as they hit the road for three games starting Friday night with divisionleading Port Huron. Saturday, they meet up with Michigan again and Sunday afternoon they finish with the Kalamazoo Jr. K-Wings. Three games. Three days. Three cities. It’s certainly a tough task. “Welcome to junior hockey,” Daikawa joked. “But we brought in a sports psychologist and the one thing we want to preach is mental preparation. It’s one thing to get sleep, it’s a different thing to be able to ready. It’s hard to find a way to keep guys physically ready with the back-to-back games, so they have to be mentally ready.” One position Daikawa can keep fresh though, is goalie. And he said he plans on using different guys Friday and Saturday night. As for Sunday, well who knows. “We’ll go Sunday with the hotter hand probably,” Daikawa said. “Playing back-to-back nights is tough for a young goaltender.”

A Guide To The 2011-12 College Hoops Season

Contributed Article Associated Press

The NBA season is on hold and seems as if it will never start. No worries hoops fans, there will be plenty to watch — the college basketball season is upon us. It didn't seem all that long ago that Connecticut and one-man gang Kemba Walker cut down the nets in Houston after beating mid-major monster Butler in its second straight trip to the title game. Now, there's a new season with a new set of story lines — some pretty interesting ones, too. The Tar Heels, Ohio State, Kentucky and UConn are among the front-runners to cut down the nets in New Orleans on April 2. Super sophomores Jared Sullinger of Ohio State and North Carolina's Harrison Barnes are the likely favorites to be the player of the year. Many college hoops fans already knew that. To get ready for a season that's actually going to start on time, here's a few other things to keep an eye on. Story Lines — Can North Carolina go undefeated? No team has done it since Indiana in 1975-76 and the odds aren't all that good, particularly with games against Kentucky, Texas and Michigan State on the nonconference schedule. But the Tar Heels do have a lineup that could include five NBA first-round draft picks and the ACC isn't all that strong this season, so you never know. — The new stars. College basketball lost some big names,

with Walker, Derrick Williams and The Jimmer off to play in the NBA. Ohio State's Jared Sullinger and Harrison Barnes of North Carolina figure to be the best bets to be the ones to take their places, but there are plenty of talented players around the country, from UConn's Jeremy Lamb, Pittsburgh's Ashton Gibbs and Kentucky's Terrence Jones, among others. — Mike Krzyzewski's run at history. The Duke coach has 900 wins, leaving him two behind Bob Knight to become the winningest men's basketball coach in Division I history. Coach K can tie the record Nov. 12 at home against Presbyterian and pass Knight three nights later against Michigan State at Madison Square Garden. — Can Butler make it to a third straight title game? The Bulldogs pulled off one of the more improbable feats in college basketball history by coming a half-second shot away from beating Duke in the 2010 national title game, then making it all the way back to face UConn last season. Chances are the small school with the tough academic standards won't have much of a shot, but the Bulldogs have been the kings of proving everyone wrong. — Big East blast off. This could be the final season of the Big East as we know it, with Syracuse, Pittsburgh and West Virginia all bolting for new conferences. The Big East is set to invite SMU, Houston and Central Florida — along with Boise State, Navy and Air Force in football — but it won't be quite the same, so we should enjoy it while we can. Fabulous Freshman

Every season, there are a handful of freshmen who have an immediate impact on their teams — half of those seemingly coming from Kentucky, sort of a clearinghouse for the nation's best 18 and 19-yearolds under coach John Calipari. Well, he's got another stellar group and there are a few more fab freshmen who could play a big role for their teams this season. Here's a few: — Anthony Davis, Kentucky. Coach Cal has been hit with more than his share of oneand-done stars, but always seems to find another diamond to take their place. Davis is the latest freshman star in the making, an athletic and versatile big man who was rated the No. 1 overall prospect by many recruiting services. — Andre Drummond, Connecticut. The Huskies lost King Kemba to the NBA. Drummond, a dominating center, gives them a realistic shot at repeating as champions. — Josiah Turner, Arizona. Wildcats coach Sean Miller has shown off his chops as a

recruiter, consistently bringing in some of the best classes in the country. He did it again with a 2011 group that includes Turner, a big, passfirst point guard who should help ease the loss of Derrick Williams in the desert. — Austin Rivers, Duke. The son of former NBA player and current Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers, Austin is, no surprise, a heady player. He knows how to get an offense flowing and has a good range of his jumper, which should help the Blue Devils after Kyrie Irving left for the NBA. — Jabari Brown, Oregon. The Ducks are a sleeper pick in the reconfigured Pac-12 and Brown is a key reason. The shooting guard is known for hit 3-point touch, but can drive to the basket as well. Mighty Mid-Majors Butler has set the standard for mid-majors, making improbable runs to the national title games the past two seasons. Shaka and VCU made it a mid-major mash-up in Houston by making it to the Final

Four with the Bulldogs. So which mid-majors are poised to make the most noise this season? We're glad you asked. — Memphis. With the run the Tigers have had the past few years, they've reached a level above mid-major, perhaps into super-mid-major, or whatever you want to call it. Coach Josh Pastner has done a superb job in recruiting and with those young players becoming more experienced, Memphis could be ready for a deep run. — Xavier. Another are-theyreally-a-mid-major program. The Musketeers have made seven straight trips to the NCAA tournament and regularly go deep, despite last season's disappointing first-round exit. Xavier has a versatile lineup filled with experienced players, led by Atlantic 10 player of the year Tu Holloway. — Gonzaga. No list of midmajors is complete without the Zags. Gonzaga has had an impressive run under coach Mark Few, winning or sharing the past 11 West Coast Conference titles. The addition of BYU to the league could put that streak in jeopardy, but the Zags have that been-theredone-that mindset and are loaded up front, led by Robert Sacre and Elias Harris. — Butler. OK, we couldn't stay away. Whether it was the Bulldogs' don't-countus-out run the past two years or wanting to get our paws on fan favorite Blue 2 again in New Orleans, we had to include them on the list. New Coaches Every year, the reigns of a program are handed over to a new coach after the last one was either fired or left. Last season

was one for the record books, with about four dozen programs bringing in new bosses. Here are a few of the highprofile new hoops leaders: — Mike Anderson, Arkansas. The former Nolan Richardson protege had a solid run away from Fayetteville, putting up winning records at UAB and Missouri while taking his teams to the NCAA tournament six times in nine years. He brings hard-nosed experience and nostalgia to the Razorbacks. — Lon Kruger, Oklahoma. Jeff Capel did a nice job of helping the Sooners rebound from the Kelvin Sampson era, but the past couple of seasons were a struggle. In comes Kruger, the steady coach who's had success pretty much everywhere he's been, leading four different teams to the NCAA tournament. — Cuonzo Martin, Tennessee. The Vols were left in disarray after an NCAA investigation and Bruce's Pearl's admittance that he lied to investigators, which eventually led to his firing. Martin turned Missouri State into the Missouri Valley Conference's top-scoring team with his frenetic offense, which should be a good fit for the Vols and the SEC. — Mark Turgeon, Maryland. For the first time since 1989, Gary Williams won't be screaming and sweating through his suit in front of Maryland's bench after retiring during the offseason. The Terps couldn't lure Sean Miller away from Arizona, but found a pretty good one in Turgeon, who led Texas A&M to four straight NCAA tournament appearances before he left College Station.

Ravens Sweep Season Series With Steelers On Late TD From Smith Contributed Article Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — Torrey Smith's night began with a penalty that wiped out a long Baltimore touchdown. It ended with a catch that gave the Ravens a season sweep of Pittsburgh. Five plays after a sure scoring strike tipped off his fingers, the Baltimore rookie receiver held onto a 26-yard touchdown pass from Joe Flacco with 8 seconds remaining to lift the Ravens past the Steelers 23-20 on Sunday. "For him to keep coming back to me, that meant a lot," Smith said. Smith was flagged for holding on the game's first play, negating Ray Rice's 76-yard touchdown run. But he capped Baltimore's gamewinning 92-yard drive by beating William Gay down the right sideline as the Ravens (6-2) snapped Pittsburgh's four-game winning streak.

Flacco finished with 300 yards passing and Baltimore swept the season series from the rival Steelers (6-3) for the first time since 2006. "This Steelers-Ravens game is a game for men," Baltimore coach John Harbaugh said. "This is a game for big men. You've got to shine bright in this game if you want to win this game. And nobody shined brighter than Joe Flacco in this game." The Steelers appeared to be in control after rallying from a 10-point deficit to take a 20-16 lead with less than 5 minutes to go when Ben Roethlisberger hit Mike Wallace for a 25-yard score. Pittsburgh's defense held once and the Steelers moved in range for Shaun Suisham to attempt a 47-yard field goal that could have bumped their lead to seven. A delay of game penalty, however, pushed Pittsburgh back five yards and the Steelers opted to punt. "I accept responsibility for

that," coach Mike Tomlin said. "There was some hesitation on my part." Flacco, who fumbled midway through the fourth quarter to set up Roethlisberger's strike to Wallace, atoned during a brilliant 13-play drive. He converted a fourth-and-1 at the Pittsburgh 49 with less than a minute to go to keep Baltimore's hopes alive, and Smith made up for a drop with the biggest play of his young career. The Steelers got the ball back with 8 seconds left but Antonio Brown fumbled a lateral from Wallace and the Ravens poured onto the Heinz Field turf in celebration. How excited were the Ravens? Harbaugh received a cut on his chin after being dropped by Baltimore general manager Ozzie Newsome. It's hard to blame the Ravens for their giddiness, particularly after two of their last three seasons ended on the same field.

"We swept them, but don't be fooled -- we'll see them again in January," Baltimore linebacker Terrell Suggs said. "This is the only team in the world that can play like we play and match us blow for blow." With one dramatic drive, Baltimore ended Pittsburgh's surge and moved into a tie with Cincinnati atop the AFC North. Flacco, who had come under fire from his teammates for inconsistent play, completed 28 of 47 passes and kept his head late after spending much of the second half trying to avoid Pittsburgh linebacker James Harrison. The All-Pro sacked Flacco three times in his first game back after missing a month with a fractured orbital bone around his right eye, but Pittsburgh's pass rush disappeared on Baltimore's final drive. Given time to work, Flacco picked apart the NFL's top-ranked pass defense. Gay couldn't stop Flacco

from hitting Anquan Boldin on the crucial fourth down and then couldn't stay in front of Smith on the gamewinning play. "That was, on my part, the worst drive ever," Gay said. And perhaps the finest moment of Flacco's career. "You don't really have anything to lose," Flacco said. "You either score or you don't score. ... You take a couple of shots at the end zone and see what comes of it." The Steelers trailed by 10 going into the fourth quarter but roared back behind Roethlisberger. Rashard Mendenhall scored from 1 yard out to pull Pittsburgh within 16-13 and Harrison swatted the ball out of Flacco's hand on Baltimore's next possession. Gay recovered and Roethlisberger put the Steelers in front when he rolled right to avoid pressure and threw in the direction of Brown. Wallace streaked in front of his teammate for the score and Pittsburgh appeared to

be on its way to avenging a 28-point loss to the Ravens in the season opener. Roethlisberger finished with 330 yards passing to become the first Pittsburgh quarterback to top 300 in three consecutive games, but the Steelers' defense couldn't contain Flacco at the end. Suggs picked off Roethlisberger's pass in the third quarter to preserve a 9-6 Baltimore lead. A dozen plays later, Rice darted in from 4 yards out to put the Ravens up 16-6. The NFL's top-ranked defense couldn't make it hold up, though for once Flacco bailed the defense out in a relationship that's often been vice versa. "In my eyes, to be totally honest with you, they're the defending AFC champs, so they're still the team to beat," Suggs said of the Steelers. "But if we're playing football throughout, we'll see them again in January. But they've got to come to our house."

After Long Speculation, Missouri Will Finally Join SEC Contributed Article Associated Press

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — After weeks of waiting, Missouri's move to the Southeastern Conference became official on Sunday. The SEC released a statement saying the conference's presidents and chancellors acted unanimously, and Missouri will join the league effective July 1, 2012. “The Presidents and Chancellors of the Southeastern Conference are pleased to welcome the University of Missouri to the SEC,'' Florida President Bernie Machen said in a statement. “The University of Missouri is a prestigious

academic institution with a strong athletic tradition and a culture similar to our current institutions.'' Missouri will be leaving the Big 12, a conference it has been a part of since 1907, including its days as the Big Eight. “The Southeastern Conference is a highly successful, stable, premier athletic conference that offers exciting opportunities for the University of Missouri,'' Missouri Chancellor Brady J. Deaton said. “In joining the SEC, MU partners with universities distinguished for their academic programs and their emphasis on student success. The SEC will provide our student-athletes with top flight competition and unparalleled visibility. We came

to this decision after careful consideration of the long term best interests of our university. “We believe the Southeastern Conference is an outstanding home for the Mizzou Tigers, and we take great pride in our association with this distinguished league.'' The addition of Missouri will increase SEC membership to 14 schools, including Texas A&M, which announced last month that it was also leaving the Big 12 for the SEC. Asked what division Missouri would be in, Arkansas Athletic Director Jeff Long posted on his Twitter account that Missouri will be in the “East initially.'' Interim Big 12 Commissioner Chuck Neinas declined com-

ment. Sunday's announcement comes as no surprise. Last month the Missouri board of curators gave Deaton the permission to change leagues and from that point on it seemed only a matter of time before the Tigers said goodbye to the Big 12. Apparently, legal issues and other details took time to work out. The Big 12 needed to have a replacement for Missouri lined up, because the conference needs 10 schools to fulfill its TV contracts. The Big 12 took care of that and bid farewell to Missouri 10 days ago, when it invited West Virginia from the Big East to join the conference. The league did not even list Missouri among the schools it

anticipated would be competing in the Big 12 next year. But despite what the SEC and Big 12 plan, the Big East still will have a say in when Missouri and West Virginia will be allowed to start competing in their new conference homes. Big East Commissioner John Marinatto has been adamant about enforcing the league's 27-month notification period and holding West Virginia in the conference for the next two years. West Virginia filed a lawsuit challenging that rule and the Big East countered with a lawsuit asking the courts to make the school abide by its contract. The Big East is in rebuilding mode now and is expected to

start adding new members in the next few days. The league last week approved inviting Boise State, Navy and Air Force for football only and SMU, Houston and Central Florida for all sports. Its goal is to form a 12-team football league, but even if all the schools its targeting accept invitations, there are various hurdles that would have to be cleared — including waiting periods and exit fees — to have them in the Big East by 2012. It's possible Missouri could be stuck in the Big 12 until West Virginia can depart from the Big East. The SEC had said it was working on schedules for a 13-team conference when Texas A&M joined.

ing seven tackles and forced running back Fred Jackson to fumble as part of a three-takeaway performance by a defense that limited the Bills to 73 yards and three first downs in the first half. They also stopped the Bills twice on downs, including a fourth-and-inches stuffing of Jackson at the New York 15 yard line in the first minute of the fourth quarter. “It’s totally attitude,” Pouha said. “Jet-i-tude is the way we look at it. Today we displayed what Jet football is all about.” The Jets won their first road game of the season after three losses, while also ending the Bills’

injury following the game, except to confirm the player was having tests on his shoulder. Lindell was hurt when he made a diving stop along the right sideline to trip up Joe McKnight on a 59-yard kickoff return to open the second half. Lindell was slow getting up, and was holding his right arm on his way to the sideline. Lindell hit a 24-yard field goal

later in the third quarter, but was held out in the fourth. Rather than attempting an extra point following David Nelson’s 7-yard touchdown catch with 3:14 left, the Bills succeeded on quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick’s 2-point conversion run. Punter Brian Moorman then handled the ensuing kickoff, an onside kick, which the Jets recovered.

four-game home win streak — including the previous week’s 23-0 win over Washington at Toronto. And Buffalo’s feel-good start has suddenly taken an ominous turn for a team that prepares to play its next three — and four of its next five — on the road, starting at Dallas next weekend. “We just didn’t show up,” receiver Stevie Johnson said, who earlier in the week caused a minor stir by suggesting it was the Bills’ turn to take the division. “I give (the Jets) props. They came in and handled business.”

108 games during that span. It was his first time back to Buffalo to watch a Bills game since his retirement. His most remembered kick was in the 1991 Super Bowl, a 47-yarder that sailed wide right as time expired in Buffalo’s 20-19 loss to the New York Giants. “It feels terrific to be back,” said Norwood, who received a nice ovation when he was announced to the sellout crowd. “It’s been nice to see some old teammates and old friends who I haven’t seen in many years. The connections are long and deep here.”

Ryan Fitzpatrick struggled in going 15 of 31 for 191 yards, with two interceptions and a meannothing 7-yard touchdown to David Nelson in the closing minutes. Jackson couldn’t get untracked, finishing with a combined 120 yards from scrimmage, including 82 rushing, well below the 153 he averaged entering the game. And so much for the statement the Bills hoped to make in showing they belong to be counted seriously among the midseason contenders in their bid to end an 11-season playoff drought. “I don’t worry about statements. I worry about winning and not winning, and we didn’t win today,” coach Chan Gailey said, before noting the Bills travel to face the Jets again in three weeks. “They played well. We played poorly. It’s my responsibility to get our team ready to play each week.” Gailey might have another big worry after place-kicker Rian Lindell hurt his right shoulder while making a diving shoestring tackle to trip up Joe McKnight on the opening kickoff of the second half. Though Lindell hit a 24-yard field goal in the third quarter, Gailey noted the kicker wasn’t available for lengthier attempts. Gailey didn’t have a full update on Lindell’s injury following the game, except to confirm the player was having tests on his shoulder. Jets linebacker Bart Scott didn’t feel any pangs of regret for putting a big dent in the Bills and their feel-good start. “Everybody loves Cinderella stories,” Scott said, referring to the Bills. “We’ve always been portrayed as the bad guys, but we relish in that role.” And just like that, the big, bad, brash-talking Jets were back.

and Jennifer Newhouse came late in the set. The Blue Devils took the lead early in the second set and were up 15-12 before the Hawks went on an 8-0 run. It included two kills by Dana Vosilla. The teams were tied 14 times in the third set. The Hawks appeared on the verge of winning it before a kill by Chelsea Senn began a Blue Devil comeback. It was followed by a block combination by Newhouse and Senn, a kill by New Paltz's Vosilla, and another combo block by Newhouse and Senn. Two straight New Paltz errors gave the Fredonia State a 25-23 win. A kill by Newhouse gave Fredonia State a 17-13 lead in the fourth set. New Paltz fought back with a 6-2 run, including two kills by Michelle Jacobson. With their

team down 22-20, Emily Linn and Brittany Lis combined for a block, and Senn teamed with Olson to forge a 22-22 tie. The Blue Devils then made a service error, followed by an attack error. A kill by Senn cut the New Paltz lead to 24-23, before Melinda DiGiovanna ended the set with a kill. The fifth set had six ties — every interval from 1-1 to 6-6 — before the Hawks edged ahead on a Blue Devil error and ace by Brigid Moore. The Blue Devils fell behind 12-8 before scoring three straight points — a New Paltz serving error, a combo block by Linn and Senn, and a kill by Senn. The teams traded points before New Paltz's Laura Stanhewicz ended the match with a kill and a block. Olson finished with 17 kills and 15 digs, Manning with 14 kills, Newhouse with 14

Making his third consecutive start, Diaz stopped eight shots as the Bona winless streak closed the year at 10 straight, going 0-7-3 in its last 10 contests. St. Bonaventure controlled much of the play in the first half, holding a 16-7 shot

advantage at the intermission. However, Richmond attempted seven shots in the second half, and the one crucial shot which won the game in the second overtime. "This was another disappointing loss in a very disappointing season," head coach Mel

Thomas Vanek Scores In Overtime To Cap Sabres' Rally Vs. Jets Contributed Article Associated Press

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Ryan Miller wasn't sure he'd make it past the first period after his latest shaky performance. Thanks to Thomas Vanek fin- and the resilient Buffalo Sabres, the goalie was 88). able to stick around long enough to earn his r- first win in five starts. in Vanek scored a power-play goal 4:35 into ore overtime and the Sabres overcame yet another ts- on-ice meltdown by Miller in rallying for a 6-5 ace win over the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday night. "Obviously, we all know that Ryan needs to be y better. He was fighting it, there's no doubt," coach Lindy Ruff said. "But I liked the fight the nd team put up. That's even more important than y. the fight that Ryan was putting up." ed Making his first start after a two-game benchmpi- ing, the 2010 Vezina Trophy winner allowed two goals on the first three shots he faced and three on the first seven. It was an outing reminiscent of Miller's last start, when he was yanked 6:23 in after allowing three goals on 11 le, shots in a 3-2 loss to Philadelphia last week. "It was nice to make it to the second period nn this time," said Miller, who made 26 saves and avoided losing five straight games in regulahe tion for the first time in his career. "It's not the e easiest situation right now for me. ... I want to fin- help. And I want to get victories." 6 e. Vanek and Derek Roy scored two goals apiece, and Jason Pominville had a goal and two asova sists in a game the Sabres never led until the nd final score. rst Roy forced overtime by one-timing Pominnd ville's cross-ice feed for a power-play goal with - 6:08 left in regulation. Vanek ended it with his d in team-leading 10th of the season. .47,

With Blake Wheeler in the penalty box for hooking, the Sabres worked the puck around to Pominville in the left circle, where he ripped a shot that banked in off Vanek's skate and past goalie Ondrej Pavelec. Bryan Little scored twice, and Dustin Byfuglien and Tanner Glass each had a goal and an assist for the Jets, who closed a seven-game road trip, their longest of the season, with a 3-2-2 record. "It's fun when you score, it's not fun when you get scored on," Jets defenseman Zach Bogosian

said. "Run-and-gun type of hockey is not the way we want to play." It didn't help that the Jets lacked discipline. They were called for 14 penalties totaling 39 minutes in comparison to the Sabres, who had six penalties for 15 minutes. Winnipeg's penalty-killers allowed Buffalo to score on four of 12 power-play chances, with Roy's tying goal coming on the Sabres' third of three two-man advantages. "We need to keep the game 5-on-5," Jets coach Claude Noel said. "We would've liked to get

two points, and it was in our grasp. I think we shot ourselves in the foot because we were in the box most of the time." Mark Flood also scored for the Jets, while Wheeler had two assists in what was an entertaining, back-and-forth game. Flood and Little scored 66 seconds apart to put the Jets up 2-0. Roy and rookie Corey Tropp responded by scoring 11 seconds apart to tie the game at 2 by the 9:16 mark of the opening period. The two teams then traded goals the rest of the way. Pominville was pleased for Miller, aware of how the goalie was struggling with being questioned by the media and jeered at times on home ice. Miller's troubles were magnified after rookie Jhonas Enroth took over and earned wins in each of the past two games. "It hasn't been easy for him," Pominville said. "We knew he was going to come back strong, and I thought he did. Tough start, but I think the players in front of him were to blame." Miller had little help on at least three of the five goals he allowed. That included Byfuglien's goal to open the third period, in which he was allowed to waltz in alone before snapping a shot that beat Miller inside the left post. Game Notes Before the game, former Buffalo and Winnipeg Jets forward Dale Hawerchuk was inducted into the Sabres Hall of Fame. Hawerchuk had 110 goals and 385 points in five seasons with the Sabres in the 1990s, and 379 goals and 929 points over nine seasons with the original Jets. Also inducted was longtime Sabres broadcaster Rick Jeanneret. ... The Jets play 17 of their next 23 at home, starting with facing Florida on Thursday. Winnipeg has played an NHL-low four home games. ... Jets C Nik Antropov returned after missing two games with a hand injury.

Rifles May Make Hunting Safer By Steve Peacock Star Outdoors Writer

Anticipation for deer season is always high among hunters. This year brings even more than normal because this is the first year that hunters are allowed to use rifles to hunt deer in Chautauqua County. For myself — and I’m sure a few others — this was a good enough reason to buy a new deer gun. I would be willing to bet that rifle sales have increased this year all over Chautauqua County. Some people I have talked with are nervous about the idea of hunters using rifles instead of shotguns. Most of this is because of the increased distance that a rifle bullet will travel and the belief that the increased distance will make things more dangerous. While I do not want to discount this argument completely, I think rifles may actually make it safer. Along with father range rifles are also significantly more accurate than shotguns. More accuracy means more control which to me means less need for multiple shots to get the job done. Also most people outfit their rifles with a scope that usually ups the accuracy even further. Having a scope on a gun makes it harder

to find a moving target. I think this will decrease the instances where someone jumps one or more deer then empties their gun on them. Anyone outdoors on opening day can hear this happening. If you really want to make hunting safer,

then blaze orange clothing is your best bet. It currently is not mandatory to war any orange at all in New York State. Studies have shown that deer are colorblind and cannot see the orange color. Thus, I recommend wearing orange during

any outdoor activity while gun season is open including fishing, hiking or even walking the dog. I go so far as to putting an orange reflective collar on my dog. Remember, there are some people who would rather it be illegal for anyone to hunt. That means all hunters will be judged by the actions of the worst few. If I were just drawing from my own observations, I would tell you the rut is almost over. My friends and co-workers tell me a different story. Apparently there is still some rut activity going on, probably depending where you are. Certainly this will be winding down pretty soon. After the rut ends, those bucks will be feeding extra heavy to replace the energy they burned up. The Bear Lake Rod and Gun Club is having a turkey shoot this coming Sunday at Noon. The stream fishing has slowed a bit because of lower water levels. However, the nicer weather we had the past two weekends has allowed some fishermen to get out on the lake. Silver Creek resident Tom Deike has been out several times in the past two weeks. They have caught a bunch of bass and two lake trout while trolling in relatively shallow water. Tom also told me that they did not catch any steal head, a fact I found surprising.

2. Tony Stewart -3 (finished first) Stewart proved at Texas that his boastful comments after winning Martinsville weren’t just idle talk. He went out and got maximum points at Texas, leading the most laps and winning the race to shave five points off Edwards’ lead. And he got his fourth win of the Chase by outrunning the points leader. Stewart said there’s no need to send any more spoken messages to Edwards. “I think our performance today spoke for itself,” he said.

3. Kevin Harvick -33 (finished 13th) His crew tried to use a two-tire pit stop late in the race to gain points, but the cards didn’t fall their way. “We gambled right there trying to steal a top-five [finish] and it didn’t work, so it probably cost us six or seven points,” crew chief Gil Martin said.

4. Matt Kenseth -38 (finished fourth) His No.17 Ford was good but not great,and he was unable to make up the points he lost in wrecking at Martinsville. “I thought we did everything we could possibly do, but we just weren’t fast enough,” he said.

Busch sidelined for 2 races after Friday night Truck Series crash

ack in the early days of 2010, when NASCAR officials announced that they were backing off of their policing of ontrack incidents, vice president Robin Pemberton summed up NASCAR’s then-new position by saying, “Boys, have at it.” NASCAR president Brian France also weighed in, saying NASCAR racing was a “contact sport.” While the statements made it clear that more aggression on the race track would be allowed, it was far from certain just how far that aggression could go before NASCAR did step in. The picture became a little clearer this past weekend at Texas Motor Speedway, when Kyle Busch was parked for the Nationwide and Sprint Cup races after intentionally wrecking championship contender Ron Hornaday Jr. under caution in the early laps of Friday’s Camping World Truck Series race. The crash knocked Hornaday out of title contention. It wasn’t the first time a driver had been barred from a Cup race over an incident in a lower series. In 2002, Kevin Harvick had to sit out a Cup race at Martinsville after a wreck in a truck race, and in 2007 Robby Gordon had to skip the Cup race at Pocono after an incident in a Nationwide race at Montreal. But Busch’s is the first punishment of this magnitude in the “have at it” era. Even before the latest of several incidents involving Busch, including one at Bristol involving Elliott Sadler and another at Darlington with Harvick, many a driver and fan have questioned just where the line is that a driver must cross to be severely punished. NASCAR president Mike Helton, in a press conference Saturday morning at Texas, said NASCAR looks at each situation and reacts accordingly. “The responsibility over the past two or three seasons we’ve given back to the drivers came, I think, with a very clear understanding that there could be a line that got crossed,” he

Kyle Busch watches from atop his team’s pit box as Michael McDowell drove his No. 18 Toyota in Sunday’s AAA Texas 500 at Texas Motor Speedway. (NASCAR photo) said. “As annoying as the comments that I’ve made personally in the past about ‘we’ll know it when we see it’ might have been, we saw it [Friday] night.” Helton pointed out that there have been other similar incidents, such as the one last year at Atlanta Motor Speedway involving Carl Edwards and Brad Keselowski that drew penalties, although not as severe as the one imposed on Busch. And he said neither Busch’s on-track incidents at Bristol and Darlington nor Hornaday’s position in the truck championship battle were major reasons NASCAR reacted so strongly. “The question about the accumulation of incidents around the driver leading to this decision-making process, I won’t sit here and tell you that it’s not an influence, but it’s not an overriding influence,” Helton said. “The reaction we’re taking came more specifically

from the set of circumstances that unfolded [Friday] night in the single event.” Busch initially was unapologetic, but late Saturday issued a statement that indicated he was sorry for his actions. “I want to sincerely apologize for my actions during Friday night’s Truck Series race at Texas,” he said. “I apologize to my fans, all my sponsors, everyone at Joe Gibbs Racing and Kyle Busch Motorsports … I’d also like to apologize to Ron Hornaday Jr., and everyone associated with the No. 33 team in the Truck Series. “I understand why I was taken out of the car for the rest of the weekend. NASCAR officials had to act, and I accept their punishment and take full responsibility for my actions. “As a race-car driver, the hardest thing to do is to sit on the sidelines listening to cars on the track when you know you should be out there competing. For this, I have no one to blame but myself. “Through a lot of support from the people around me, I feel like I’ve made a lot of strides this year, but this was certainly a step backward. Moving forward, I will do everything I possibly can to represent everyone involved in a positive manner. However, I know my longterm actions will have more of a bearing than anything I say right now.” It was signed “Sincerely, Kyle Busch.” Busch, who could receive more punishment this week, met with his Cup team Sunday morning at Texas, apologized to his crew and asked to sit on the pit box during the race, according to his crew chief Dave Rogers. “I think Kyle handled [Sunday] like a professional,” Rogers told reporters. “It would have been much easier for him to get on an airplane and fly home and feel sorry for himself, and he didn’t. “He was obviously disappointed, but he stood there and he backed his race team from flag to flag, and I appreciate it.”

5. Brad Keselowski -49 (finished 24th) A collision with Denny Hamlin in the pit area and handling problems late in the race left him with a disappointing finish and all but out of the title hunt. Crew chief Paul Wolfe acknowledged the points situation and said he’s still proud of his team and what they’ve done this year. “We won’t lie down,” he said. 6. Jimmie Johnson -55 (finished 14th) He recovered from a late-race spin but not without some damage to his car.And it appears his run of five straight Sprint Cup titles is coming to an end.“It may have been the rear end or something because I didn’t really drive really good after that,” he said. “We were loose, but fast beforehand and then after the spin … that really hurt the car.” 7. Dale Earnhardt Jr. -79 (finished seventh) Despite a relatively good finish at Texas,he’s on the verge of elimination from the championship hunt. Barring a collapse by both Stewart and Edwards, he’ll be eliminated next week. 8. Jeff Gordon -81 (finished sixth) He overcame a bad pit stop to run in the top three late in the race, but faded a bit as nightfall took over Texas Motor Speedway. “When that sun went down it changed for us, and we just could not keep up with the track conditions and lost a little bit there at the end,” he said. 9. Kurt Busch -87 (finished 30th) His car was off the pace all day at Texas and a laterace fuel gamble didn’t work either. “We just missed it,” he said. “We started outside the top 10 and really never had the car to compete up front.” 10. Denny Hamlin -99 (finished 20th) A bad weekend left him mathematically out of the running for the championship with two races left to run. “”We just fought an ill-handling car all day,” he said. “It’s probably one of the worst that we’ve had in a long time.” 11. Kyle Busch -100 (did not compete) Parked for intentionally wrecking Ron Hornaday Jr. in Friday’s Camping World Truck Series race, Michael McDowell drove his No. 18 Toyota. McDowell finished 33rd, but Busch got no points. 12. Ryan Newman -103 (finished 16th) After losing two laps early in the race, he worked his way back to the front and led four laps before having to make a late-race stop for fuel.

Bayne gets first Nationwide win Ironically, just as one of NASCAR’s bad boys was sitting on the sidelines at Texas, a driver known for his exemplary behavior got his first career Nationwide Series victory. Trevor Bayne, who won this year’s Daytona 500 in just his second career Sprint Cup start, passed his Roush Fenway Racing teammate Carl Edwards with six laps remaining in the O’Reilly Auto Parts Challenge, then held off Denny Hamlin to get the victory at the same track where a year ago he made his Cup debut. “This is just as surreal as the 500,” Bayne said. “That’s hard to say but this has been so long. We’ve worked so hard to get our first Nationwide win, and I wasn’t sure if it was ever going to happen. I was thinking maybe the next Cup win would come first.” Bayne went on to say that Texas Motor Speedway is a special place for him. “It’s one of the toughest to drive, and that’s why I’ve always wanted to get a win at a place like this,” he said. “Daytona is great, but that’s restrictor-plate racing. I hate to say it, but a lot of people could be in Victory Lane there, but to win at a mile-and-a-half, that has been one of my dreams.” Edwards said he’s among those who admire Bayne and how he’s dealt with winning the Daytona 500, then being sidelined for much of this season with an illness. “I’m happy to see him have success, as happy as I can be as a competitor of his,” Edwards said. “I think that Trevor has been through a lot this year … To be as young as he is and to have so many changes in his life right now, and for him to handle everything as gracefully as he has, I think, says a lot about him.”

Martin to take Reutimann’s ride Mark Martin started his Sprint Cup career in a Pontiac, drove a Buick for a while, then ran an Oldsmobile and a Chevrolet before taking the wheel of a Ford. It was in a Ford, owned by Jack Roush, that Martin got the first of his 40 Cup victories, back in 1989 at Rockingham. The last five came in a Rick Hendrick-owned Chevrolet. Beginning next season Martin moves to a new manufacturer as he’ll spend the next two years running a partial Cup schedule in the No. 00 Toyota at Michael Waltrip Racing. Martin will run 25 races each year, with the team owner running five himself and other, as yet unnamed, drivers running the rest of the schedule. The move means that David Reutimann, the car’s

current driver, will be out of a ride. “It’s a bad time to be out of a job,” Reutimann told reporters at Texas. “You’ve just got to wonder if it’s worth it in the long run. I don’t know. The alternative is not doing it at all and that’s not a great alternative to have.”

Five-time Cup winner arrested Jeremy Mayfield, suspended from NASCAR in 2009 after failing a drug test, has been arrested on drug charges, and police say numerous stolen items, some allegedly taken during burglaries at NASCAR race shops, were found on his North Carolina property. Mayfield’s attorney told reporters that the fivetime Cup winner had no knowledge of the stolen property or the methamphetamine found when a search warrant was executed last week.

The Ides of March

Contributed Article Amber Rinehart

Beware the Ides of March. This is the day politician Julius Caesar was assassinated by his own followers. Resulting was a tale of politics, sabotage, blackmail and betrayal. George Clooney’s new directorial effort, The Ides of March has all of these elements as well as fantastic performances from Clooney, Ryan Gosling, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Paul Giamatti. Although, Clooney shares the marquee with Gosling for this film, it really is Gosling that steals the show. Gosling plays Stephen Meyers, a wunderkind and media specialist assisting in the campaign to win Governor Mike Morris, played by Clooney, the democratic presidential nomination. Morris is somewhat of a beacon of hope and perfection. He is not only a politician, but a real, honest man worth following

and believing in. Meyers and campaign manager Paul Zara, played by Philip Seymour Hoffman, effortlessly to spin the media to paint Morris as a political messiah. At this point I need to note that this film is not a political thriller. There are no car chases or gun fights or even punches thrown. All of the damage and intensity stems from manipulation and lies. As secrets emerge, the plot thickens as we watch Gosling attempt to not only manipulate the media and those around him, but also struggle to survive in the tremulous waters of politics. What works best about this film is its fantastically complex, yet simple writing. No matter what your political affiliation, or level of interest and understand of politics, you will be able to enjoy this movie. Some may complain The Ides of March moves slow and although I cannot dispute this, I will say that the slow pace adds to the

Star Rating: 4/5

realism. You actually feel as if what is occurring the film could

really be occurring in politics. In fact, it is occurring in politics.

Crazy Stupid Love Friday, November 18 and Saturday, November 19. 8:00 p.m. At fortysomething, straight-laced Cal Weaver (Steve Carell) is living the dream-good job, nice house, great kids and marriage to his high school sweetheart. But when Cal learns that his wife, Emily (Julianne Moore), has cheated on him and wants a divorce, his “perfect” life quickly unravels. Worse, in today’s single world, Cal, who hasn’t dated in decades, stands out as the epitome of un-smooth. Now spending his free evenings sulking alone at a local bar, the hapless Cal is taken on as wingman and protégé to handsome, thirtysomething player Jacob Palmer (Ryan Gos-

ling). Rated PG-13. The Help Thursday, December 1 and Saturday, December 3. 8:00 p.m. The #1 New York Times best seller by Kathryn Stockett comes to vivid life through the powerful performances of a phenomenal ensemble cast. Led by Emma Stone, Academy Award®-nominated Viola Davis (Best Supporting Actress, Doubt, 2008), Octavia Spencer and Bryce Dallas Howard, The Help is an inspirational, courageous and empowering story about very different, extraordinary women in the 1960s South who build an unlikely friendship around a secret writing project — one that breaks society’s rules and puts them all at risk. Filled with poignancy, humor and hope. The Help is a timeless, universal and triumphant story about the ability to create change.

Much of the movie is based off of real life events, albeit with some artistic liberties. The Ides of March is based off of a play called Farragut North, which made its off Broadway debut in 2008. Farragut North was written Beau Willimon, former aid to presidential hopeful Howard Dean as well as New York State Senator Charles Schumer. Willimon loosely based the story on the 2004 Democratic Primacy campaign of Howard Dean. Knowing this adds an entirely different level of realism and fear to the film. It is terrifying to think about what goes on behind the backs of the public. I honestly can say very little against this film. Yes it is somewhat slow at times and contains no intense thriller moments, but I feel that that makes it a stronger film and gives it a sense of haunting realism that will sit with you when you leave the theatre. Don’t believe me? Go check it out for yourself.

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.

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.

But when Cal learns that his wife, Emily (Julianne Moore), has cheated on him and wants a divorce, his “perfect” life quickly unravels. Worse, in today’s single world, Cal, who hasn’t dated in decades, stands out as the epitome of un-smooth. Now spending his free evenings sulking alone at a local bar, the hapless Cal is taken on as wingman and protégé to handsome, thirtysomething player Jacob Palmer (Ryan Gosling). Rated PG-13.

VSK Emporium

By Dusten Rader Entertainment Editor

With the holidays quickly approaching, time is running out to find that perfect gift. So, if you haven’t been to VSK Emporium in Frewsburg, now is the time. There one can find unique gifts whether they are antique or handcrafted. To add to the experience of holiday shopping, the Emporium will be decorated throughout with lights, trees and other festive décor to create a Christmas Wonderland. VSK will also be celebrating its 4th anniversary on Black Friday and over that weekend. More details on the event will be revealed soon. VSK Emporium opened four years ago and has grown quite significantly over that time. It started out as just Kit ‘N Kaboodle and has grown to house 6 businesses: Kit N’ Kaboodle, a 50 plus vendor Flea Market, Filomena’s Bakery and Café, Faded Elegance, The Creative Mind and Glarner Group Produc-

tion Studio. This week, the Star features an interview with Clair Hansen who owns The Creative Mind with her husband Dave. The Creative Mind is a local artist’s boutique with over 24 artists displaying their handmade items. Clair had always wanted to start her own business so when her friends, Kitty and Vince Scholeno opened Emporium, she decided it was time to give it a try. Clair enjoys creating and crafting with jewelry and glassware along with meeting other creative people. Thus, she calls her boutique The Creative Mind and dedicates to the works of local artists and crafters. “I’ve always enjoyed doing arts and crafts,” said Clair. “Dave and I both enjoy photography and have many framed photos we take in the shop. The variety of items will amaze you. There are custom made lamp shades, porcelain dolls, quilts of all sizes, scrolled wood clocks and wall plaques, stained glass, pottery,

handmade cards and gift tags, as well as jewelry and framed photos to name a few. And we are always looking to add more.” Those having trouble finding a Christmas gift for that hard to buy for person may find something at the Emporium.

The Creative Mind is a great place to find those unique gifts, for any occasion. Why wait for a crafts show when The Creative Mind is open all year Tuesday through Saturday, 10 to 5 p.m., and Sunday 12 to 5 p.m. Items they carry can be seen on their website at thecreativemindboutique.

com. Soon customers will be able to purchase right from the website. They can also be found on Facebook. Upstairs over The Creative Mind is the Glarner Group Production Studios and After Dark Entertainment run by continued on page 7

VSK EMPORIUM continued from page 6 Joseph Glarner. The studio primarily does production work for commercial customers. However, they do record musicians as well. “We try to focus on as many commercial clients as we possibly can,” said Glarner. “We do commercials for television and radio, media and ad campaigns, radio imaging and training videos. I also work with record labels like Chenoa Records who represents about ten American Idol finalists. I’m also a Jazz artist under Chenoa Records. And, we have our own independent record label here as well.” Glarner studied music and production at the Musicians Institute of West Hollywood, California. He continued his education at Five Towns University in New York. After finishing his studies he started a studio in his home town of Warren, Pennsylvania. For the past three years he has been working out of his studio in VSK Emporium. He is also an instructor at Infinity Performing Arts in Jamestown. “My dream was always to be a studio musician who created music for television, movies and to play a myriad of instruments,” said Glarner. Helping businesses with their media arts needs is an important aspect of Glarner production studio. He writes jingles, theme songs and personalized music. “Multimedia audio and video is what we do,” said Glarner. Video production is a major service that Glarner offers. He creates promotional videos for businesses to help increase their presence. Web videos are a great inexpensive way to help businesses get the word out about their services. “I saw a need for more video work when opened a recording studio ten years ago,” said Glarner. “It’s a pretty power-

ful marketing tool and a lot of businesses agree.” According to Glarner there aren’t many other studios in the area that offer quality production. “I’m definitely one of the few in this region that do what I do,” said Glarner. Glarner is currently working on a project for the Christmas season. In 2010 he produced an album entitled Chautauqua to Allegheny Mountain Christmas. It was met with success so he decided to do it again this year. So, he is working on Chautauqua to Allegheny Mountain Christmas 2. It is a compilation of singers and musicians for the benefit of nonprofits and is sponsored by the Community Development Association. The non-profits who will benefit from the album are Community Helping Hands, St. Susan Center, UCAN, The Spire of Jamestown, Infinity Performing Arts, The Boonies International Film Festival and Trinity Memorial Episcopal Church. To promote the release of the album there will be two live performances. The first is scheduled on December 2 at the the Spire of Jamestown then December 9 at the Jamestown Ice Arena. December 9 will feature Charles Fredrick with his group ‘A Family of Notes’ and guests to be announced. There will also be a show at the Crown Theater in Jamestown on December 16 called ‘Christmas at the Crown’. Glarner is also working on having one of the American Idol finalists make an appearance at one of the shows. For more information on the Glarner Group and After Dark visit ggadnews.com. There are plenty of good reasons to make a trip out to Frewsburg to experience VSK Emporium. Next week, I will feature Kit N’ Kaboodle along with the Flea Market, Filom-

ena’s and Faded Elegance. It is the perfect place to find something out of the ordinary with people that care about each other and every customer on a personal level. VSK Emporium is the right choice to meet gift giving needs. “Why go to the mall, we have it all,” said Clair.

VSK Emporium is located at 54 West Main Street in Frewsburg. The emporium is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. For more information call 716-569-6547, visit vskemporium.com or find them on Facebook.

Wing City Grille

A fully stocked bar with local beer and wine. (Photo by Dusten Rader)

By Dusten Rader Entertainment Editor

For family friendly food and entertainment Wing City Grille is the perfect place. Plus, with two locations and a third in the works locals all over Western New York are getting the chance to experience the great atmosphere and fun created by the Carlson family. Local entrepreneur Andrew Carlson is the President of the Village Casino in Bemus Point and the two Wing City Grille locations. He is also currently working on opening a new Wing City Grille in Olean, NY that will be finished in 2012. Much of the history behind Carlson’s restaurant business began with his father Steve. He was involved with T.G.I. Friday’s and he opened the Village Casino in Bemus point. Steve ran the Village Casino for about 10 years before Andrew took over in 2008. “He wanted to create a place similar to the Village Casino that could be fun, exciting, offer great food and be a place where people can just meet together to become friends,” said Carlson. “We also wanted to offer the best service in town.

We figured as long as you have great food and service you can’t go wrong.” So, Wing City Grille in Fredonia was established in 2005 by Steve. He wanted to create a place that offered live entertainment, fresh homemade food and tons of fun. “We do about 80 hours of prep each week here to make sure everything is fresh and homemade,” said Carlson. “Franchises have moved to a model that focuses on consistency but, we we’d rather have the best quality. It’s much more labor intensive but it is worth it.” Chef Bill Kenny, Galati’s of Jamestown’s former owner, was also involved in the start of Wing City Fredonia. He helped with original menu development. Carlson took over the Fredonia location in 2008. And, after seeing the success Wing City Grille earned there he decided it was time to bring the restaurant to Jamestown’s community as well. So, in 2010 he opened the Lakewood location. “The idea of expanding came from opportunity and demand,” said Carlson. “We were

very fortunate in Fredonia. We have a great staff and were able to do the food right. We’ve been able to build our name and be a part of the community. Then the owner of the building in Fredonia had a location available in Lakewood and we took the opportunity.” The new location in Olean will be at the former Quizno’s and Dollar General on West State Street. The new building is actually larger than the Fredonia and Lakewood locations. With 8000 square feet there will be even more seating and room available. “We’re excited,” said Carlson. “We’re going to cater to the locals, families and college students as well.” Because fun and energy were things that Carlson wanted at the restaurant plans were formed to ensure there was something going on every night. Monday night is Family Night and kids meals are buy one get one free. Tuesday night is is College Night and college students receive beer, liquor and wing specials. Wednesday night is Karaoke Night and it is also a contest. Every five weeks is a new competition where guests have an opportunity to compete for $500 cash.

Thursday night is Trivia Night from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. Then all day Sunday the Happy Hour is offered to those who want to watch a sports game. Each location has about 30 televisions so guests can enjoy all their favorite programs. He also wanted it to be place that the whole family could enjoy. “Whether you’re eight or eighty you can find something that you enjoy on the menu,” said Carlson. “If you can’t find something on this menu you like you might as well stop eating.” Carlson believes there is something for everyone to find on the 20 page menu. It is split up into sections like Specialty Drinks, Starters, Soups, Pizzas, Signature Sandwiches, Burgers, Wraps, Salads, Wings, Kid’s Menu, Seafood, Entrees, Pastas, Lighter Fare, Healthier Choices, Gluten Free and desserts. The Lighter Fare section of the menu was added recently and offers guests smaller portions of their favorite dishes at an affordable price. “One of the biggest things we’ve heard from our customers is that our portions are huge,” said Carlson. “So the idea was

to continue offering our huge portions at a reasonable price but also give those people who want the half size portions at more affordable prices.” The Healthier Choices section is also fairly new and includes a good number of 600 or less calorie options. Offering gluten free options has also become an important aspect the restaurant business. That’s why Carlson added the Gluten Free section about a year ago. “We’ve spent a ton of time to train our staff how to do the Gluten Free properly,” said Carlson. “A large portion of the population has a gluten allergy now so we offer two pages of choices to cater to those customers.” The regular menu has also seen some new additions. The Wings section features a few new sauces like the Pineapple Express, Garlic Lovers and Sweet ‘n’ Spicy Ranch dry rub. There are also some new wing combos including the Wings and Fries and Wings and Rings. Boneless wings are also now offered in single (10), double (20), triple (30) and bucket (50) sizes. Burgers are big favorite at continued on page 8

WING CITY GRILLE continued from page 8 Wing City Grille. Each burger is a 10 ounce Angus Beef patty prepared specifically for Wing City by Stockyards in Buffalo. “We’re also now offering our burgers in 8 ounce sizes,” said Carlson. “They are still the same quality and best burgers you can buy they are just a little more cost friendly now.”

Pastas have also been a big part of the menu since the beginning. They are huge portions that are prepared fresh at a saute station in the kitchen. The Basil Pesto Primavera is one of the most ordered options. It is a vegetarian’s delight that includes caramelized onions, roasted red peppers,

sliced portabella mushrooms and vermicelli pasta sauteed in extra virgin olive oil and fresh basil pesto then finished with a Parmesan cheese blend and served with garlic toast. Chicken or a side salad can also be added. The Cajun Chicken pasta is also a local favorite. It includes a blend

Doc and Bill’s Excellent November Adventures

Contributed Article

Poorman’s Recipebook: Split Pea, Lentil and Vegetable Stew with Canadian Bacon

Doc and Bill

Hi, gang! (Forty years spent writing for a living, and I have to steal “Hi, gang!” from Tom Rush. Well, Tom studied English literature at Harvard, and as they say, if you have to steal …) October was a very enjoyable month for Doc and me. In addition to the distinction of being the first musical group to play at the Spire in Jamestown, and our first gig in Buffalo, we also had the pleasure of doing our first program for the kids at the Boys and Girls Club in Dunkirk through the auspices of the Infinity Performing Arts Program. The Spire, aka Jamestown’s First Congregational Church, is a lovely place to play, and I expect we’ll be back there from time to time. All kinds of neat events are contemplated for the Spire, including vintage movies and live music: http:// www.spiretheater.org/ November is shaping up to be a pretty busy month, with our usual semi-monthly gigs at Steener’s Pub on the 3rd and 17th, a return to 21 East in Dunkirk (www.lvoccread.org) on the 11th, and a date at a new place for us -- the Mustard Seed in South Dayton, NY. We’ll also be playing for our good friends at the Chautauqua County Home – which is rapidly becoming our “Home” away from home, in a manner of speaking. The Mustard Seed serves mindbogglingly delicious meals in a

delightfully homey atmosphere that shouldn’t be surprising, given that it’s set in a delightful home in a quiet rural village. This is the restaurant that caters the excellent food served by the Literacy Volunteers at 21 East, and their amazingly full menu of freshly prepared dishes is unique to the area. Well worth checking out, whether or not your favorite folksong duo happens to be there at the time: www.themustardseedrestaurant.com. Hope to see you soon. For a fun time in the meantime, I heartily recommend Tom Rush’s wonderful CD, Trolling For Owls http://www.tomrush.com/nimbit.html#music/trollingforowls

Upcoming Shows: Friday, November 11, 5:00 to 6:30 p.m.: 21 East Café & Bookstore, 21 East 2nd Street, Dunkirk, NY Monday, November 14, Chautauqua County Home (for the residents of the Home) Thursday, November 17, 7:00 to 9:00 p.m.: Steener’s Pub, Route 430, Greenhurst, NY (across from the Heritage Green campus) Saturday, November 19, The Mustardseed, Route 322, South Dayton, NY (date and hours will be confirmed in a followup email)

Eating out can be hard on the wallet. So, to help our loyal readers save their hard earned cash the Chautauqua Star will feature an inexpensive meal in our ‘Poorman’s Recipebook’ each week. Split Pea, Lentil and Vegetable Stew with Canadian Bacon 1 can split pea soup 1 can lentil soup 1 tsp. onion powder 1 tsp. garlic powder 1 lb. Canadian bacon 2 cups of mixed vegetables 1 cup of red skinned potatoes 2 cups water or broth In a large pot on low heat add split pea and lentil soups with onion, garlic powder and water

or broth. Slice the Canadian bacon and add to the stew. Add the mixed vegetables and potatoes then cook on low heat until the broth thickens. Submitted by: Dusten Rader

The great thing about stew is that all you need to make it is water and something to throw into it. Split pea and lentils are great with pork. The ﬂavor of Canadian bacon compliments the peas and add a different ﬂavor than ham. The potatoes bring a hearty feeling to the meal. Add your favorite vegetables to complete the stew. A hunk of bread for dipping also makes a good addition. If you’d like to submit a recipe for ‘Poorman’s Recipebook,’ email dusten.rader@maytumcompany.com or call 716-3669200. Tell us your recipe, where it came from, and a favorite memory of it!

Pickle Chips are also a new favorite. They are deli pickles lightly battered, deep fried and served with a side of cucumber wasabi. Also served with the cucumber wasabi are the Spicy Green Beans. They include a heap of garden fresh green beans coated with a jalapeno batter and deep fried. Plus, the pizza rolls that have been on the menu since the start are now homemade as well. Mozzarella, pepperoni, and seasonings are stuffed into a wonton wrap then deep fried and served with house made marinara. “We wrap and roll them ourselves,” said Carlson. “It’s not always the easiest thing but they will blow you away. It’s night and day compared to the bought products.” Desserts are worth checking out as well. These home made freshly prepared delights are a treat. Mom’s Ice Cream Lasagna is a unique twist. It includes layers of ice cream, cookies, nuts, hot fudge and whipped cream. There is also a fully stocked bar. It offers local beers from Southern Tier Brewing Company and wines from Merritt Estate. There are also a number of specialty drinks like the Lo-

ganberry Cooler, Holy Water, Kool-Aid and martinis like the Snickers and Absolut Pepper. For those looking to save a buck and also enjoy the great food and atmosphere should try out the Happy Hour that is offered every day. From 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. to close guests can enjoy $5 appetizers, half priced draft beers and well drinks. “What really sets us apart is when we say home made food we truly mean it,” said Carlson. “We take the time prepping in order to serve the highest quality products. We’ve been very fortunate in both locations and we’re looking forward to moving to Olean.” Wing City Grille Fredonia is located at 10450 Bennett Road Basil Pesto Primavera with caramelized onions, roasted red peppers, sliced portabella mushrooms and and in Lakewood at 273 East vermicelli pasta sauteed in extra virgin olive oil and fresh basil pesto then finished with a Parmesan cheese blend and served with garlic toast.

The Hillman Opera will continue its tradition of staging one of the most anticipated performing arts events of the season at SUNY Fredonia with its production of “The Merry Wives of Windsor” (“Die lustigen Weiber von Windsor”) from November 10 to 13 in Marvel Theatre at Rockefeller Arts Center.

music. This fully-staged opera production will be presented in German with English supertitles. “It’s difficult to not fall in love with the music of Otto Nicolai’s masterpiece ‘The Merry Wives of Windsor’ — ‘Die Lustigen Weiber von Windsor’ in its original German,” said Julie Newell, production administrator for the Hillman Opera. Newell said the opera takes “one of the most beloved of Shakespeare’s works” and adds “incredibly buoyant melodies

Applebee’s Pancake Breakfast on Saturday November 12 from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. at Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill and Bar on 340 East Fairmount Ave in Lakewood. Do you like pancakes? You do!? Then we sure hope to see you at Applebee’s. You’ll get all you can eat pancakes, bacon and drinks for only $5/person. 80 percent of all proceeds benefit

for the principal characters, a stunningly beautiful love duet for (characters) Anne and Fenton, musical and theatrical high jinks for the chorus in the famous woods scene and, of course, that incredible overture, one of the greatest in the orchestral canon —what’s not to love?” Newell said composer Otto Nicolai “is revered” in the German–speaking world and this work is “a favorite in professional opera houses as it offers magnificent singing opportunities for a large cast and

remains very true to the core relationships in Shakespeare’s original.” “We will highlight two alumni of our respective departments,” Newell said. “The first, singing the role of Falstaff, is Josh Fingerhut, a 2004 graduate who is still remembered for his stunning portrayal of Sweeney Todd in the musical of the same name. The other is guest makeup and hair designer David Bova. David boasts a national reputation in his field and it is a thrill having him make time to join us here in Fredonia.” More than 120 students will be working in and around the production, together with faculty from both the School of Music and the Department of Theatre and Dance including David Rudge, Tom Loughlin, Shinobu Takagi, Max Zorn, Dixon Reynolds, Laurel Walford, Greg
