Operation Christmas Child: Chautauqua County Sinclairville Church Collects Thousands of Shoeboxes for Overseas Delivery

By Patricia Pihl Star Staﬀ Writer

To many people, a shoebox represents little more than a receptacle for old photos. To children in 100 countries, the boxes filled with small toys, sweets or supplies mean so much more. Samaritans Purse, the organization in charge of the world-wide distribution, uses the simple expression to share a joy and demonstrate God’s love to a hurting world. Started by Franklin Graham, son of evangelist Billy Graham in 1993, Operation Christmas Child, a ministry of Samaritan’s Purse, today reaches one million children in six continents. Each year before Thanksgiving, churches and organizations throughout Chautauqua County work together with local churches worldwide to provide a tangible way to help needy children around the world. Filled with small toys, school supplies, hygiene items and perhaps a personal note, boxes bring a smile to children living in impoverished circumstances, or those in war-torn countries around the globe. For the last four years, Park United Members of the Warren First Lutheran Youth Group help Park United Methodist Church close the semi truck Methodist Church in Sinclairville ﬁlled with Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes.

Tornadoes touch down in Fredonia and Westfield

By Patricia Pihl and Elizabeth Martin The National Weather Service has confirmed that on Monday, two separate tornadoes touched down in both Fredonia and Westfield about 15 minutes apart. Since tornadoes have been very rare in Western New York, the storm was shocking to most residents. Taylor Hall was evaluating damages at his

mother’s property on Gale on in Westfield on Wednesday morning and reported that a barn, garage and storage buildings were destroyed by the storm. The property, which has been in the family since the 1960‘s, also lost a number of trees, according to Hall. Both tornadoes were categorized as EF2, EF0 being the least amount of damage and EF5 being the most. This means that the wind speeds of the tornadoes were between 111 and

135 miles per hour. In Fredonia, the storm report for Monday showed a few power-lines and trees down, and also a garage roof ripped apart in the village. The tornado had a four-mile path of destruction. During the storm, Fredonia residents were without power for about two hours in the evening. In Westfield, damage was also seen, including roofs blown off houses and a barn blown off its foundation.

Thankfully, no one was injured during the storm. The weather in Fredonia and Westfield on Monday was ideal for a tornado. The towns were both in what is considered the warm side, with temperatures not usually found during the season. There was low-level wind speed and a frontal boundary that approached the areas to combine for severe weather.

If you’re looking for something to do with friends and family that is both active and fun then set your sights on Sky Zone Buffalo. The indoor trampoline park is a great way to expend some energy and have a ton of fun doing so. On Saturday, November 12 Sky Zone Buffalo hosted a facebook and twitter day. It included free admission for an hour if you brought in a can of non perishable food and liked them on facebook or followed them on twitter. The first thing I had to do

NFL and NHL. Players navigate the walled trampoline playing fields attempting score on goals that are continuously rotating 360 degrees. In addition to the tons of fun that open jumping and 3D Sports offer guests can also sign up for scheduled classes. These classes include fitness training like aerobics and cross training. According to Sky Zone’s website jumping on a trampoline has a number of positive effects on the body including: “strengthens every muscle, organ and cell in your body; enhances overall coordination, strength, flexibility, timing, agility, balance and spatial awareness; stimulates your lymphatic system; strengthens your heart; is lowimpact; requires 30 percent more energy than running on a hard surface.

Potential blood donors must be 17 years of age, meet weight and height requirements (110 pounds or more, depending on height) and be in generally good health. Proper ID is required.

ent organizations, collecting 7,568 shoe boxes from “rely” points in such areas as South Dayton, Fredonia, Allegheny, Cuba and Machias. Taking its name from the story of the good Samaritan in (Luke 10:30-37), the ministry provides a means for Christians to serve God by helping those in desperate need. It also provides an opportunity for parents and their children to shop together for the sole purpose of helping an anonymous child from across the globe, providing an important lesson on the real meaning of Christmas. To Sally Smith of Lakewood

and her daughter Emily, the shoeboxes have become a family tradition. Smith says she has tried to make it “a learning and giving experience each year.” Sending a note and pictures in their shoebox, the family was delighted to receive a thank you note from two of the recipients in the Ukraine.

“We’ve been doing this for years, and we were pleasantly shocked to hear from them.” Smith said. It’s been two years now and the Smiths still correspond with the girls, who they say take on the extra effort to have someone translate their letters. “Its nice to have that connection.” Deadline for drop off of unsealed boxes is Monday, November 21. Park United Methodist Church is located at 49 Sinclaire Dr., Sinclairville. For more information, interested persons may call the church at 962-2265, for information on Operation Christmas Child, go to www. samaritanspurse.org/occ/.

Jamestown Cycle Shop Snowball Drop Contributed Article DJDC

Four years running, the Jamestown Cycle Shop will sponsor the 4th annual downtown Snowball Drop following The Resource Center & TRC Foundation’s “Jamestown’s I’ll Be Home for Christmas Parade of the Wooden Soldiers & Holiday Celebration”, in Jamestown on Friday, December 2nd. “We have partnered with the Jamestown Cycle Shop since the conception of the Snowball Drop. They are an anchor business in downtown and we truly appreciate their continued support,” said Ashley Anderson, DJDC Special Events Coordinator. “This unique addition to the parade has taken on its own personality and has been a successful marketing tool for all participating organizations.”

The Jamestown Cycle Shop Snowball Drop will take place immediately following the annual parade. Two-thousand ping-pong balls will be dropped, simulating “snowballs”, from a Jamestown Fire Department ladder truck that will be extended above Third Street at the intersection of Spring Street. This event has transpired from 1,000 ping-pong balls in 2008 to 1,300 ping pong balls in 2009 and now growing again to 2,000. Ping-pong balls will be distributed to various businesses, organizations, and community groups where they will write on each ball a special promotion or prize. Spectators below the ladder will have a chance to collect as many “snowballs” as they can. Once collected, those lucky individuals will be able to redeem their prize at the respective business, organization, or event. All businesses, organizations, and event organizers

are invited to participate in this free spectacular event. Contact DJDC to receive your free ping-pong balls. “Our goal is to provide a unique way to increase foot traffic in all of our various businesses, organizations and events,” added Anderson. “In the past, recipients have held onto their ping-pong balls for over 6 months to receive their prize or free entry into various events.” Line-up for the parade will begin promptly at 5:00pm and will step-off at 6:30pm traveling East on Third Street to Tracy Plaza for the postparade festivities All businesses, organizations, groups, families, churches and individuals are asked to register with DJDC to participate in the parade. Registration forms are available online at www.discoverjamestown.com or call 664-2477.

Children’s Book Teaches Kids about Emotions and Helping Others Author Shirley Blanchard releases debut book, teams with artist Terry Leavitt Jr.

Contributed Article AuthorHouse

Anyone who has ever been fascinated with a mood ring (and, really, who hasn’t) will relate to Shirley Blanchard’s charming children’s book The Colors of Karlee (published by AuthorHouse). “Colors have feelings,” one butterfly says to another. In this easy-toread story, Blanchard teaches children that emotions can influence a wide range of things and illustrates the importance of helping others. The Colors of Karlee, which follows a white-winged butterfly as she tries convincing the fellow woodland creatures that she is not a moth, is itself a story of triumph. Illustrated by Terry Leavitt Jr., The Colors of Karlee is the result of creative collaborations and a touching story of survival. At the age of 20, Leavitt was involved in a diving accident that left him with no movement from the shoulders

down. It’s a diagnosis that would have emotionally crippled many; but Leavitt, a gifted artist, chose to adapt instead. Using his mouth, Leavitt continued to draw. Teaming with Blanchard, Leavitt provides illustrations that allow young readers to visually follow the story. Blanchard, who wrote the story in a writing class, also credits her writing instructor for bringing the story to life. Like her characters in The Colors of Karlee, Blanchard shows the power of teamwork. About the Author Shirley Blanchard is a mother, grandmother and wife. She lives in a small fishing village in New Brunswick. She lists writing, swimming and spending time with her family as her life passions. The Colors of Karlee is her first book.

Live at the Met Season Features Satyagrapha at Fredonia Opera House Contributed Article Fredonia Opera House

The 1891 Fredonia Opera House continues the 201112 season of Live at the Met high definition opera broadcasts with Philip Glass’ inspirational opera of social change, Satyagraha, on Nov. 19, at 1 p.m. “We’re very excited to be presenting our first full season of live opera transmissions; there’s something very exhilarating about presenting the live broadcasts as they are being performed at the Met,” says Opera House Executive Director Rick Davis. “And this week’s opera, Satyagraha, not only features a very interesting score by Philip Glass, but visually, it’s absolutely stunning!” Philip Glass’ 20th-century masterpiece, Satyagraha, is an inspirational retelling of Mohandas K. Gandhi’s formative philosophical experiences as a young man in South Africa. The minimalist score, sung in Sanskrit, features lyrics drawn from the sacred Hindu text, the Bhagavad Gita. Phelim McDermott’s visually extravagant production uses largescale puppetry, acrobatics and supertitles to create a moving, life-affirming theatrical experience. Richard Croft portrays Gandhi, a role he first sang to critical acclaim in the 2008 Met premiere of the work. The cast also includes Rachelle Durkin as Miss Schlesen, Kim Josephson as Mr. Kallenbach, and Alfred Walker as Parsi Rustomji. Contemporary music specialist Dante Anzolini conducts.

Mental Health Today

By Lucy Studd Contributing Writer

Whether you are a mental health professional or a family member of someone with mental illness at some point you will find yourself dealing with a mental health crisis. The consumer, (the person with the mental illness,) is often labeled as an “attention seeker”, “one who needs to hit rock bottom,” and often known to reject the help from others and is seen as “manipulative.” When you are unable to help the person in need

this experience becomes very frustrating. The goal is to interrupt the crisis pattern and replace it with behavior that is effective. The consumer has to be open to receiving the help leading to crisis management. During the crisis it is imperative for the providers of care to remain objective. The person in crisis, the consumer, lacks the ability to problem solve and the ability to seek help. This makes the consumer appear to others involved as though he or she is deliberately causing the events of the crisis and is doing so willingly. What really is happening at this point is that the consumer feels all alone and overwhelmed with no effective support system and is probably reacting to delusions due to the fact he or she is untreated for the disease. The consumer’s ability to grieve is drastically inhibited so they do not feel the loss in their situation. At times, the consumer may turn to substance abuse which can loosen inhibitions, increase irritability and anti social behavior resulting in exacerbation of

The mental health providers of care believe the intent of this contract will allow the consumer to learn there are explanations for their behavior and that remedies can be developed. They also learn it is possible to develop hope and trust. The explanation I have presented sounds great on paper and this is what happens to a hospitalized patient or a consumer who enters the psychiatric forensic system; what is not published is how few benefit from this plan. This contributes to the ineffective mental health system and this is how the system tricks the public into believing they can help individuals with serious untreated mental illness. They explain there is a contract. Who is this contract shared with? If the consumer does not want to share it with anyone it is not worth the paper it is written on. Who else is involved in this contract? What other agencies are involved? How do the practitioners know the consumer will take their medications? How do the consumers process the information when the organ

needed to do this is their brain, the very organ that is diseased? What is left out of this article is the fact that fifty percent of those with serious and persistent mental illness do not have insight into their illness. If the mental health system continues to share only half truths with the public it is not surprising that the shattered mental health system is strong and lives on. The President’s New Freedom Commission revealed widespread fragmentation in the mental health delivery system and concluded that the system is not oriented toward the goals of recovery for the people it serves. Individuals in need of services often do not have access in their communities to treatments and supports that have been proven to be effective.

CCHN, Partners to Celebrate National Rural Health Day Contributed Article CCHN

Chautauqua County Health Network (CCHN) will join the National Organization of State Offices of Rural Health (NOSORH) and other state/ national rural stakeholders in celebrating the first-ever National Rural Health Day on Thursday, Nov. 17. NOSORH created National Rural Health Day as a way to showcase rural America; increase awareness of rural health-related issues; and promote the efforts of NOSORH, State Offices of Rural Health

and others in addressing those issues. Plans call for National Rural Health Day to become an annual celebration on the third Thursday of each November. Events recognizing National Rural Health Day and “Celebrating the Power of Rural” are being planned throughout the nation. In Chautauqua County, CCHN is planning to mark the occasion by encouraging patients to thank their healthcare provider during their visit. These rural providers are the backbone of keeping our community healthy by providing the highest quality of care.

Approximately 62 million people – nearly one in five Americans – live in rural and frontier communities throughout the United States. “These small towns, farming communities and frontier areas are wonderful places to live and work; they are places where neighbors know each other and work together,” notes NOSORH Director Teryl Eisinger. “The hospitals and providers serving these rural communities not only provide quality patient care, but they also help keep good jobs in rural America.” These communities, similar to Chautauqua County, also face

Auxiliary of Brooks Memorial Hospital Tree of Lights Contributed Article Kathy Kolodziej

The Auxiliary of Brooks Memorial Hospital is celebrating the 19th anniversary of the “Tree of Lights” communitywide remembrance project. Brochures have been mailed inviting the public to participate in this fundraiser. Contributors can make a donation in tribute to living or in memory of deceased loved ones and friends. The “Tree of Lights” Lighting Ceremony is scheduled for 7 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 2 in the main lobby of Brooks Memorial Hospital. Refreshments will follow.

The names of all honorees will appear on a Scroll of Honor to be displayed in the hospital’s main lobby through January. For each donation of $10 a gold or white light will be placed on the evergreen “Tree of Lights” on the hospital roof. A $50 donation will purchase a red light for the “Circle of Lights” at the top of the tree. This beautiful tree will remain illuminated through the holiday season. Gold lights represent a tribute to living family members and friends, white lights honor the memory of loved ones and red lights represent either gifts in honor of or in memory of family members or friends.

All funds raised through this non-denominational project assist the Auxiliary in its continued support of Brooks Memorial Hospital, our community provider of quality healthcare. Donations are tax deductible as provided by law and will be accepted through January 9, 2012. For further information or to make a donation contact Wendy (BMH) at 363-7207 or Joanna at 366-2973.

unique healthcare needs. “For the past 15 years CCHN has worked directly with healthcare providers, elected officials and other human service agencies to address continued concerns around accessibility issues, the lack of healthcare providers, the increasing needs of our aging population and the ever increasing number of uninsured and underinsured population,” said Ann Abdella, CCHN Executive Director. “In addition, our healthcare facilities continue to experience declining reimbursement rates and increased regulations yet they continue to provide exceptional care.”

State Offices of Rural Health play a key role in addressing those needs. All 50 states maintain a State Office of Rural Health, each of which shares a similar mission: to foster relationships, disseminate information and provide technical assistance that improves access to, and the quality of, health care for its rural citizens. In the past year alone, State Offices of Rural Health collectively provided technical assistance to more than 28,000 rural communities. In Chautauqua for example, CCHN supports rural citizens through programs such as

administering the Get Covered Helpline, a toll-free line available to those needing assistance finding healthcare coverage, and working directly with healthcare providers to promote evidence-based best practice guidelines locally.

The students enrolled in the Jamestown Community College (JCC) nursing degree program wanted to do more than just raise awareness during October’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month, they also wanted to make a lasting difference in enhancing the diagnosis of breast cancer in our community. By selling pink ribbons for a breast cancer awareness tree in their Student Union, conducting a quilt and basket raffle, participating in the WCA Employee Educational Fair and selling pink beads and hair ribbons, the nursing students raised a total of $457. They then gifted these proceeds to WCA Hospital to support the purchase of Digital Mammography so that breast cancer can be detected and treated earlier. “We are so thankful to these future nurses for recognizing the importance of annual mammograms and for choosing to support our community hospital in our fight against breast cancer,” said Toni DeAngelo, Wellness Director at WCA Hospital. “The spirit and enthusiasm displayed by

Thank You For Your Vote Of Confidence Manufacturers Association of the Southern Tier are grateful to the voters of Chautauqua County. Their overwhelming support of Proposition One last Tuesday demonstrated that our position on this issue was firmly in line with the will of the people of this county and our call for an end to the status quo. Proposition One will change the County Charter to require that all future redistricting Written by Todd J. Tranum plans will create a County Legislature with no greater President & CEO of the Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce & than 19 members. This is Executive Director of the Manufacturers a welcome step in the right Association of the Southern Tier direction for our county government. It is a move that the The Chautauqua County Legislature has been unable to Chamber of Commerce and make on its own, despite the

attempts of several lawmakers over the years and despite the recommendations from several bi-partisan commissions. The vote on Proposition One represents a level of dissatisfaction with government. Voters are seeking change, and reducing the size of the Legislature is a first step towards additional moves that can restructure our system – creating efficiencies and saving taxpayer dollars. Additional measures our county government must investigate include serious analyses of the county nursing home and airports to determine their future viability and the taxpayers’ role in funding

these facilities. In addition, we strongly recommend that the county take a stronger hand in encouraging municipal consolidations and shared services to streamline service delivery and reduce expenses. The continued sharing of the 3-percent sales tax revenue with municipalities must be addressed as well. Each of these issues, if managed properly, could make a substantial difference in the tax bills of businesses and homeowners in Chautauqua County. In addition, our county must maintain a leadership position in its pursuit of New York State’s reform of Medicaid. This program, alone, accounts for a substantial chunk of our

annual expenses, with our county sending over $600,000 every week to Albany. We, and County Executive Greg Edwards, must continue our calls for reform including our strong “Don’t Send the Check” initiative in order to force progress on Medicaid reform. The voters are seeking change. Our County Executive and County Legislature must provide the leadership to navigate through these uncharted waters in the years ahead. The Chamber/MAST will continue to provide the voice of the people on these critical issues. Thank you, voters, for your confidence in us.

Chamber Sells Over $1-Million in Gift Checks The Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce has now sold over $1-million worth of Shop Chautauqua County Gift Checks to local residents and businesses totaling approximately $1.4 million dollars in economic impact since the program’s inception. This marks a milestone for the program, which is designed to promote shopping locally and to help meet the Chamber’s mission

to increase foot traffic and sales for members. Chamber President/CEO Todd Tranum said, “This $1-million figure represents a landmark. It gives us a renewed impetus to expand our Shoptauqua initiative and continue to grow the Chamber Gift Check program. Clearly, the program is having a positive economic impact on our local businesses.” Shop Chautauqua County Gift

What’s with all the gimmicks and promotions on car dealers lots right now? Everywhere you look, dealers are advertising repo sales, giveaways, extra Christmas cash, and so on and so on. Why is this? Even if the politicians deny it, we are in a recession. Our local economy is stagnant and people are not spending money unless they have to. So dealers are hard pressed to get people motivated to buy. Consumers have become immune to the tactics of yester-year….zero percent financing, employee pricing, and $3000 for your trade no matter its condition. They are all scrambling to get people on the lot and beware that when you venture in … be on guard for the headlock. The good news is that because things are tough currently there are some great deals out there. Dealers are hungry and have greatly reduced prices to move inventory. November and December are the best months to purchase vehicles because of the holidays. Auto dealers have considerable overhead including payroll and utilities. Many will consider offers that they might not normally accept just to get vehicles rolling out the door. These deals may not last long. Typically, prices start to rise at the beginning of the new year and its no longer a buyer’s market, but instead transforms into a seller’s market. A snowfall usually will stimulate business at the auto dealers due to collisions, mechanical issues, and drivers wanting four wheel drives for safety reasons. The auto business has its cycles of up and down. The key to consumer is to take advantage of its down times to find your best value on the purchase of your next pre-owned car or truck. Please direct any questions that you would like addressed in this column to my email (rwhite@jimwhites.com).

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…

As we come close to the end of another tax year, what should you be thinking about related to your business inventory level? The goal is to have as little as possible in physical inventory, at least for

income tax purposes. You will hear people say you have to pay taxes on your inventory. Technically, you are not really taxed on your inventory, but you also can’t deduct inventory that has not yet been sold. So exactly how does it work? You have to calculate a cost of goods sold number and that is the number that shows up on your income tax return as a business expense. This number is calculated by taking your inventory value from the beginning of the year, adding everything you purchased during the year and then subtracting your ending inventory. The result is your cost of goods sold. The advantage to getting your ending inventory number as

Year-end Inventory low as possible on December 31st is that you will be maximizing the amount of purchased inventory that is a business expense. Cash flow is always an issue with small business owners and using up cash to buy inventory that is just sitting in the store at the end of the year just doesn’t make sense because that expense can’t be deducted from sales until it is sold. This may be one reason why you see so many great after Christmas sales. Merchants need to have beefed up inventory levels for the holidays, but then they want to reduce the level before January 1st. It may also be a difficult time to find a great selection in sizes, colors, etc. as businesses are not buying any new inventory

until after January 1st. The accounting principle that is the foundation for this treatment of inventory is related to matching. Revenues need to be matched within a period to provide consistent reporting of profit and loss levels. The goal is to have the expense for an item sold recorded in the period where there are matching sales dollars. The difficulty comes into play when we try to minimize cash flow and income taxes, but we also have to make sure we satisfy our customers. Not having enough merchandise or the right inventory mix can hurt sales and customer satisfaction and I don’t know many customers who care about the

effects of inventory levels on the owner’s income taxes. As the business owner, only you can find the right balance and achieve both objectives. Kelly Haggmark is the owner of Haggmark Tax Service and is currently an Enrolled Agent enrolled to practice before the Internal Revenue Service.

Ribbon Cutting Planned For JCC’s Science Center

Contributed Article JCC

The public is invited to attend a ribbon cutting for the new Science Center on Jamestown Community College’s Jamestown Campus at 12:45 p.m. on November 20. The $12 million Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certified building houses JCC’s biology, biotechnology, chemistry, and geology programs. Representatives of the Hultquist Foundation and Ralph C. Sheldon Foundation will participate in the ribbon cutting. The two foundations are lead donors for the project, contributing $1 million each toward the construction of the facility. The ribbon cutting ceremony precedes JCC’s annual fall open house, which will be held from 2-4 p.m. The program is designed for high school students and their parents interested in learning more about the academic programs and student services JCC offers. The 26,762 square foot facility opened officially for fall semester classes in August. Many environmentally progressive efficiencies and green technology features were incorporated into the physical

structure. Some of the elements include: • The east-west orientation maximizes solar radiation exposure and enhances energy efficiency. • Through a rainwater harvesting system, rainwater and snow melt are collected in underground tanks located on the west side of the building, and filtered and pumped into the building as “gray water” for flushing toilets, watering plants in the 300-square foot greenhouse, and providing drip irrigation of the vegetative roof garden. • A vegetated “roof garden” or “green roof ” covers roughly one-third of the building, providing habitat for wildlife, storm water erosion control and treatment, thermal insulation and moderation, and an outdoor botanical classroom.

• Sun tunnels (“sun pipes”) bring daylight from the rooftops into interior hallways to enhance natural day-lighting and reduce electricity use. Electrical lights in these spaces contain sensors to minimize power use during daylight hours. • Educational display cabinets allow light to penetrate hallways from the outside windows. Displays of specimens, models, and other educational materials are visible to passersby. • Light shelves and sun screens diffuse additional natural light into the building without producing additional heat and limit the effects of intense summer sunlight, enhancing energy efficiency. • Windows and doors feature Solarban 80 glass, a high performance, Low-E glass for solar control.

The Raphy Report Moves to SUNY Fredonia Incubator Contributed Article SUNY Fredonia

The Raphy Report, a studentrun, multi-topic news show produced by the studentfounded company TRR Productions, has recently settled into the SUNY Fredonia Technology Incubator. TRR Productions is the first organization in the Incubator operated solely by SUNY Fredonia students. TRR is a web-based program targeted toward SUNY Fredonia students, featuring brief video segments on a variety of topics. These include health and fitness, movies, local, worldwide, and campus news, sports, music, downtown nightlife, video games,

internet videos, technology and more. The producers are always interested in new topics that will grab the attention of the audience. This semester they have added a political segment to inform students on the upcoming presidential election and the related primary candidates. Now that the organization has found a home at the Technology Incubator, production is booming. The incubator promotes economic growth in Western New York by supporting entrepreneurship and the development of new, innovative, technology-based companies into successful business ventures. The move has allowed TRR Productions to create the quality of work

that they have always strived to produce. While TRR Productions began with only a handful of hosts and a few students interested in TV and digital film production, it has grown to over 50 interns pursuing such majors as graphic design, business, public relations, journalism, accounting, theater, art and computer science. TRR Productions gives Fredonia students the opportunity to experience their work ambitions in a real-life setting prior to graduation.

Hewes Educational Center Conservation Program Teams Up With Panama Central School District To Revitalize Baseball/Softball Fields Contributed Article E2CCB

a sufficient place to play ball thanks to school district personnel, the grounds and maintenance crew, and the Hewes Center Conservation Program. “We wanted to bring the baseball and softball fields back to the conditions they were in when they were installed,” said Bert Lictus, Panama Central School District superintendent. “Now, they might be in even better condition.” The project represented a partnership between the Hewes Center Conservation/ Natural Resource management Program, represented by Hewes Center Principal Kip Feinen and Conservation Teacher Jeff Angeletti, and the Panama Central School District, represented by Mr. Lictus. The school provided the materials and Mr. Angeletti’s students provided much of the labor. It was a good project for the students since landscaping is a component of the curriculum and this gave them some hands-on training. “The students are getting real life experience and they’re helping the school because it saves us time and money. It helps everyone,” Mr. Lictus said. “These

are the kinds of partnerships we should all be doing.” The Conservation/Natural Resource Management Program is a two-year program offered to high school juniors and seniors at the Hewes Center. Students spend half the school day at the Hewes Center earning Regent’s Credits in the areas of math, science and English language arts while preparing for a wide variety of careers in fields related to developing and protecting Earth’s natural resources. Areas of study include soil and fertilizers, greenhouse management, landscaping, forestry, heavy equipment operation, watershed management, and wildlife management. E2CCB Career & Technical Education programs combine classroom instruction with hands-on experience. Students enrolled in CTE programs may participate in workplace internships; gain knowledge, skills, and experience in specialized fields of their choosing; and have the opportunity to pursue valuable industry licenses and certifications – all while meeting the necessary requirements to obtain a Regents Diploma.

• Approximately 40% of the project area is a wetland meadow/habitat restoration space. The meadow habitat is seeded with native flowers, grasses, shrubs, and trees, restoring valuable wetland ecosystem functions and habitat for wildlife and providing outdoor laboratories and learning spaces. • Eastern and western pergola and canopy systems provide shading and native landscaping and plantings for wildlife surround the building. • Water-permeable pathways lead from the building to JCC’s Hundred-Acre Lot. These porous, gravel pathways reduce storm water runoff and soil erosion, allow groundwater recharge, and afford students, faculty, and visitors easy access from the building to the Hundred-Acre Lot to observe native plant species in

a natural environment. • The white roofing membrane is light reflective to minimize heat buildup and heat island effects in the warm weather months. • A demonstration photovoltaic solar array and a two-well geothermal well system showcase energy consciousness and conservation. Both operations are linked to a real-time digital dashboard panel displaying power consumption and energy savings associated with these carbon footprint reducing technologies. • Motion sensors monitor room occupancy and adjust lighting and energy utilization. • Recycled materials, contained in the building and furniture, and FSC-certified wood were used where possible to promote environ-

mentally sustainable natural resource consumption. • Indoor environmental quality is assured by the implementation of low-emitting adhesives, sealants, paints, coatings, carpet systems, composite wood, and agrifiber products. To commemorate the opening of the Science Center and showcase the opportunities and endeavors in sciencerelated fields, a Celebration of the Sciences speakers series will be conducted throughout the coming year. The first program in the series includes a lecture on November 18 and a field trip on November 19 to explore the effects of the Ice Age on the ChautauquaAllegheny region.

This is the first in a new YWCA ‘Take Action’ series focused on the critical issues facing women across America. Each month a specific issue will be addressed, designed to raise awareness and garner

support. “Statistically women make only 77 cents for each dollar men earn doing comparable jobs” reported Katie Smith, director of the local YWCA, “this is a disturbing trend, one the YWCA is working to overcome. As part of ‘Women’s Work Month, we urge local employers to review their policies and wage scale. We encourage them to make a special effort to help women move towards economic empowerment.” For over a century, the YWCA has spoken out, been the public voice and taken action on behalf of women and girls. The YWCA is dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women and promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all. Over 2 million people participate each year

in YWCA programs at more than 1300 locations across the U.S. Worldwide, YWCA reaches more than 25 million women and girls in 125 countries.

Doors open at 12:30 on Sunday, November 20. Guests will be welcomed until 5 pm in the afternoon. Entrance will be through the parking lot door and the tour will include the entire building. “We’re so pleased to be a part of this tradition,” said Michelle Warner of the YWCA staff. ‘not only is this an opportunity to showcase our building and let

the public see the upgrades that have taken place but it’s a chance for everyone to see the special decorating touches the board has added to the bedrooms, the vintage decorations John Wolfe has loaned us to use in the living room and the personal items staff members have brought in. We’re looking forward to sharing all this with everyone on the Holly Tour.” Christmas Open House YWCA members and the general public are invited to the second annual Holiday Open House at the YWCA. On Thursday, Dec. 8th from 4:30 – 6 pm the building will be open, staff and directors will be present to share holiday greetings. “Traditionally this has been called the “Hanging of the Greens’,

dating back through the times when the general membership joined in decorating the agency,” reported Ida Klahn, board member, “in truth the building is already decorated, people are welcome to visit and enjoy the holiday décor while sharing some light refreshments with us.” The event is free and while no reservations are required they are appreciated. Those attending are encouraged to call the YWCA at 326.2011. Holiday Closings The YWCA will be closed on Thursday and Friday, November 24 and 25 to observe the Thanksgiving Holiday. There will be no youth center on Thursday, November 24. Zumba, tumbling and karate class students are encouraged to talk with their teachers re-

garding the individual holiday schedule. Facility Rentals Individuals, organizations or agencies interested in renting facilities or bedrooms at the YWCA over the holiday season are urged to call quickly and make their reservations. “We are filling up fast; the Y is becoming a busy place”, according to Nancy Tresler, facilities manager. “Each day it seems like we book another party or overnight stay.” The YWCA offers a dining hall with kitchen access, a small meeting room and 5 bedrooms for rent. Specific details regarding dates and rates are available by contacting the YWCA at 326.2011.

Finally, I sorted through my stuff and added it to the pages. I may go through and embellish them later on, attempting to coordinate my photos and goodies with the perfect decorative touches, but I doubt I will. Some of these pieces may get removed later on to use on a traditional scrapbook page, but if I never get to it, I won’t lose any sleep. My pieces are finally out of the drawer and into an album, even if it’s not the “perfect” scrapbook. Not everything is meant to have an expertlydesigned layout, meaningful journaling and layered embellishments. Sometimes, the story has already been forgotten, or there really wasn’t a whole lot to tell about the event, especially if there are no photos to go along with it. Just getting the memories out of the boxes and into a book – any book – is good enough. Then the fun times can be re – lived without making a mess. That “scrap guilt” will just fall away, leaving you to work on those projects you really enjoy.

How do you deal with your ephemera? Do you use it in digital layouts or just traditional paper pages? Or does it get incorporated into other craft projects? Send me an e-mail at awalterich@sunsetscrapbooks.com and your ideas may be featured in an upcoming column. This week’s $$ pick : The SMASH Book, K and Company, $12.99 at Joann stores or online at scrapbook.com. Yes, I do think it is expensive for what it is, but if you don’t have the time, patience or desire to complete “scrapbook” layouts, this is a fantastic product and worth the money if it will help you enjoy your memories. It’s perfect for a college student, teenager or anyone who just wants a place to keep all of the treasures from events.

to show us God’s great love, care, and generosity towards all His children. The Bible promises us that if we have a need, all we must do is ask God and He is more than willing to give it to us! Jesus then illustrates a contrast between our human parents and our Heavenly Father. Jesus states that as human parents, we love our children and desire to provide for them the best we can. God as our perfect Heavenly Father, desires even

more than the best parent to bless us with His love and good provision to those that ask Him. If you accept that the Bible is telling us the truth in this passage; that God is a good God who desires to provide for His children in all ways; then it shouldn’t be difficult to understand and believe that providing for our finances and blessings are important to Him as well.

(those that practice) drunkenness…shall not inherit the Kingdom of God.” Perhaps we would like to erase Hebrews 12:14 which says, “Follow… holiness because without which no man will see the Lord.” People have swallowed the poison that says, “You can be saved and you don’t have to change.” If a person is unchanged in their life, it’s because they were unchanged in their heart. God expects a holy life from His people. Another dangerous posture is this: “I accepted Christ but I hate going to church. Church people are fake. God doesn’t require me to go to an organized church.” I have

heard that over and over. What does the Bible say? 1 John 2:9 says, “He that says he is in the light and hates the brethren is in darkness until now.” When somebody has truly been Born Again, they will love who God loves. They will accept the people of God even when they have faults. You cannot love God and hate His kids. That is deception and you are a under the veil of wickedness if you have no time and love for God’s family. A vital life with God will seek holiness and will love the people of God. They will love purity and seek fellowship with believers.

Scrapbooking Today Smashing the Memories

By Anne Walterich Contributing Writer

I am an expert at collecting memorabilia. I save everything : receipts, wristbands, programs, cards, all kinds of ephemera. I’ve been storing all of this stuff in a hanging file folder in my desk and letting the “scrap guilt” accumulate along with it, always thinking that I’ll get around to creating a page for every event. Reality has set in. I’m not letting those feelings dominate my crafting existence anymore. K and Company (eksuccessbrands.com) released its SMASH Book earlier this year. The SMASH book, and all of its associated embellishments and products, is basically just a notebook with pockets and elastics for holding memorabilia. I like the concept, because it harkens back to a time before scrapbooking became an industry and was just gluing photos and those little treasures into a blank paper book.

The SMASH Book irritates me on another level, though. I know that the company’s aim is to sell more products, but it’s not necessary to have expertly designed and coordinated doo – dads to make it a “scrapbook.” Also, spending $12.99 on a notebook is just silly to me when one can make one with scrap supplies already on hand for far less. For this week’s project, I took old “chipboard” cereal boxes and covered them in scraps of patterned paper to make a SMASH-style book of my own. Thumbs UP! It’s another way to scrapbook.

Keeping the Faith

By Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church of Chautauqua County

Dear Pastor, does God care about material things? Today I would like to complete my response to your question and conclude this eye-opening subject. I firmly believe that if we would accept what the Bible says about material things, we would be able to walk in freedom and be in a better position to bless others. If there were any Biblical truths that I would like you to embrace concerning this topic, it would be the one that

I will share with you today. Almost two thousand years ago, the Lord Jesus Christ taught us the true nature of God. Jesus painted us a picture of God as a loving Father who desires to bless His children. In the Book of Matthew 7:7-11 we read, “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: (8) For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to

him that knocketh it shall be opened. (9) Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? (10) Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? (11) If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask Him?” While this passage contains many wonderful truths, the main point is that Jesus wants

The Weekly Word There is No Cheap Conversion

Rev. Tim Stahlman Family Church of the Southern Tier

America is quickly becoming a shallow place. Our morals are shallow. Our commitment is shallow. Our entertainment has regressed into cheap sex

tricks and innuendo. Our society has become accustomed to feeding scavengers; creatures that will eat anything regardless of how fowl and rotten it is. And that spirit of swallowing anything has crept into the Church and our Christianity. A cheap Christianity is not Christianity at all. No matter how politically correct or tolerant a society becomes, the Word of God does not change. God will judge the world according to His standards. He will demand that your life reflect the value of His Gift of Jesus on the cross. If you live cheap it’s because you believe cheap. If you live shallow it’s because

you believe shallow. Christ knows nothing that’s neither cheap nor shallow. Is your faith real? The Bible gives us several vital signs to diagnose our sincerity. I will say something that may shock you: Many people in our nation that call themselves Christians are not Christians at all. They are a cheap imitation of the real thing. They are imposters who spread a poisonous false, social, feel good gospel. They are seeker sensitive. They love the god of acceptance rather than the God of the Bible. Please don’t misunderstand me: There are many wonderful godly people in all denominations. But

there is an epidemic of casualness in this nation’s churches. Where will you stand? 1 John 1:6 says, “If we say that we have fellowship with Him (Christ), and walk in darkness, we lie and do not the truth.” Here is a great truth that puts us all on trial: We cannot believe one way and live another. You cannot be a child of God and practice a life of wickedness. Yet “believers” the world over claim that the “grace” of God will hold them regardless of their lifestyle. They claim that they can still drink and carouse with their friends and be saved. Maybe they haven’t read Galatians 5:21 that claims “…

Q&A

Raising two pups can be too much

Q: I’m thinking about getting a pair of puppies, so they can keep each other company. Would you suggest choosing two from the same litter or different litters? — via email A: I don’t usually recommend raising two puppies together. The first-year start-up costs of puppies — vaccinations, spaying or neutering, as well as unexpected visits to the ER because youngsters often get into trouble — easily outpace the routine costs of adult pets. And that’s not counting all the other supplies you’ll need for a puppy, including toys, a collar, a leash and a crate. Multiply that by two and you face some serious budget implications. There’s also the issue of time. Raising a puppy requires a serious commitment, from properly socializing a youngster to attending puppy kindergarten sessions and training classes for more mature puppies. Youngsters who miss out on early socialization and opportunities for learning are more likely to turn into problem adult dogs — and you don’t get a second chance to raise a puppy right. If you have two puppies, you’ll need double the time to provide each one with the socialization and training he deserves. If you believe that you can handle the time and money constraints, you may be better off selecting puppies from different litters. Puppies from the same litter, especially those of the same sex, may have dominance issues. Reputable breeders often raise promising show or working puppies in the homes of friends or family to allow the youngsters to blossom in environments free of bossier siblings. As an alternative, you may consider getting a puppy and a well-mannered adult dog. There are many advantages to this scenario: Adult dogs are generally less costly than puppies to get and to care for. Plus, an older dog can be a good influence on a puppy, as long as you allow the adult dog to settle in for a month or two before bringing the youngster home. Regardless of your decision, I applaud your intention to provide the best quality of life for the two dogs you bring into your family. They will be very lucky indeed. — Gina Spadafori Do you have a pet question? Send it to petconnection@gmail.com.

What your cat is thinking won’t be so much of a mystery when you understand feline body language. When you’re visiting a foreign country, you probably try to learn some words and phrases in the native language to help you get around — magic words like “please,” “thank you,” and most important: “Where is the bathroom?” It’s smart to do the same thing when you get a cat. The ability to understand your cat’s body language and vocalizations will help you understand him and communicate with him. As a bonus, your cat will think you’re a genius. Here’s a short feline phrasebook to get you started: • Head butt: “I like you.” • Face rub: “You belong to me.” • Whiskers forward: “I’m feeling friendly or curious.” • Whiskers moving during a nap: “I’m dreaming about chasing mice.” • Ears up, whiskers straight out, staring intently: “I’m on guard here.” • Arched back with tail bushed out: “Back off.” • Crouching, ears low, whiskers back, pupils wide: “I’m ready to defend myself.” • Narrowed pupils: “I’m feeling aggressive.” • Tail swishing rapidly: “Leave me alone!” • Tail low, twitching erratically: “I’m on the prowl!” • Tail moving languidly: “Keep petting me.” • Tail upright: “I’m happy.” See?

By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

It was business as usual again for the Southwestern Trojans who continued their semi-surprising run to the state semifinals with a 24-6 win against Wellsville at Sahlen’s Stadium in Rochester last weekend. Surprising in the manner Southwestern has done it. The usual dominant Trojans had to face their fair share of adversity this year, including overhauling a roster from last year’s team that was upset in the sectional final. “At the end of September, we weren't playing good team football,” head coach Jay Sirianni said. “We gained momentum with three straight home wins. The Fredonia game fused together our growing confidence and faith in one another and has taken us

to another level.” Indeed this year’s team has done a lot on their own. They’ve had to battle their way through tight games. They had to go on the road and win a playoff game against archrival Fredonia. They’ve had to squeak by games with an offense that even Sirianni would admit is not built to hang 30 points on the opponent. “It is tough to compare our defenses from other years,” Sirianni said. “Our offense has been able to control the ball for large chunks of time, which has helped our defense tremendously. When we did get into poor field position on Saturday, our defense came through with some huge stops.” As usual, Sirinni’s teams are well coached the Southwestern defense Continued on pg 2

Bonnies Win Season Opener Big But Comes With A Price

Inside This Week

Chris Winkler COMMENTARY

Well that’s not exactly how I saw the last two weeks going. With the Bills sitting at 5-2 and upcoming games against the seemingly-mediocre New York Jets and the fading Dallas Cowboys, a potential split might have been considered disappointing. Well two weeks later, it’s the Buffalo Bills who are seemingly mediocre and certainly the ones fading out of the AFC East quicker than Ryan Fitzpatrick signed his name on that 6-year, $59 million contract. To be fair, the Bills aren’t out of the playoff race or anything yet. They’re actually just a game behind the division-leading New England Patriots — who they still own the tiebreak over — and a game behind wild card leaders Baltimore and Cincinnati — who they unfortunately do not own the tiebreak against. To stretch the point even further, they’re only a game and a half behind the Houston Texans for the best record and home field advantage in the AFC. So, no, don’t go making any extravagant plans in the first weekend of January just yet. But, yet might just be key word. It’s hard to believe — considering just how effective this offense was in the beginning of the year — the Bills offense has suddenly reverted back Continued on pg 9

St. Bonaventure junior Marquise Simmons tore his right Achilles in Friday's opener and will miss the rest of the 2011-12 season. (Photo by St. Bonaventure SID)

By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

Halfway through the St. Bonaventure men’s basketball opener with Cornell, a dream season had almost already seemed busted. The Bonnies were up by just two points, were letting Cornell drain three-pointer after three-pointer and the Big Red were shooting 52 percent overall from the ﬂoor. Add to it, sixth man Marquise Simmons appeared to have gone through a season-ending injury — more on that later. But, an all-too familiar face saved them as senior Andrew Nicholson took over and the Bonnies revved up the defense that led to a dominant second half performance as the Bonnies won easily 79-58. “In the first half, it seemed like they made eight three’s in a row,” St. Bonaventure head coach Mark Schmidt said. “But we told the guys to keep pressuring them and hopefully that will take some of their legs away. I thought we played tremendous defense in the second half.” Whatever it was, it worked. Cornell shot just 30 percent in the second half and didn’t make a single three in the final 20 minutes (8-for-14 in first half) and the Bonnies outscored Cornell 39-20. While Schmidt said he thought they

won the game on the defensive end, the Bonnies put together a strong offensive performance even without Simmons and senior swingman Michael Davenport, who also left the game with what appeared to be a serious injury. Nicholson, though, paved the way. He had 24 points and was a sensational 10-for-10 at the free throw line. On a night where his jumper wasn’t falling, Nicholson again proved why he’s one of the best players in the country as he got to the line and converted. It was Matt Wright though who picked up the secondary scoring slack when it was needed. Wright scored 11 of his 13 points after the break and also grabbed a career-high seven rebounds. “Matthew was terrific,” Schmidt said. “We need guys to come off the bench and give us a spark and he did that tonight.” The secondary scoring sort of came from every where though, a good sign indeed for Schmidt’s team as they continue to look for more options besides Nicholson. Demetrius Conger had nine points, Da’Quan Cook and Eric Mosley had eight and Charlon Kloof had four, including a key three early in the second half. Considering the injuries through

the first game, coach Schmidt might need to start focusing in on his role players more. Simmons tore his right Achilles tendon, an injury that will end his season. It’s been a tough career for Simmons who already redshirted his freshman year in 2008-09. Last year he missed the first nine games of the season. Now, the key frontcourt reserve will miss the year. The good news for Simmons is if he can fully heal, the junior will most likely get a hardship waiver from the NCAA, giving him another year of eligibility. This is already his fourth year at Bonaventure. Davenport, on the other hand, just went suffered “severe cramps” and will thankfully not miss any time. Safe to say, though, it was anxious times for the Bonnies who have high expectations this year. For now they’ll gladly take the 1-0 start. They don’t return to the Reilly Center until Dec. 1. Their next three games are all on the road starting with Cleveland State Friday night, a team that just beat the No. 7 Vanderbilt Commodores this past weekend. “It was a great victory for us,” Schmidt said. “Wanted to be 1-0 on Nov. 11, that was a goal of ours when we started the season and we accomplished that.”

Students enrolled in the Conservation/Natural Resource Management Program at the Erie 2-Chautauqua-Cattaraugus BOCES Hewes Educational Center in Ashville recently forged a partnership with the Panama Central School District to revitalize the school’s baseball/softball fields. The fields had been in rough shape. Over the years, they became overrun with grass and the base paths pushed out on both sides and sank a couple of inches into the ground, creating curb-like edges. Now, the infield, pitcher’s mound, and base paths have been covered with fresh clay infield mix laid down and tilled with precision. Not only that, a layer of unfired clay bricks now sits underneath the pitcher’s mound and home plate, providing a muchneeded foundation to keep the surfaces level for years to come. Students on the school’s varsity baseball and varsity softball teams, not to mention physical education classes, now have a sufficient place to play ball thanks to school district personnel, the grounds and maintenance crew, and the Hewes Center Conservation Program. “We wanted to bring the baseball and softball fields back to the conditions they were in when they were installed,” said Bert Lictus, Panama Central School District superintendent. “Now, they might be in even better condition.” The project represented a partnership between the

Hewes Center Conservation/ Natural Resource management Program, represented by Hewes Center Principal Kip Feinen and Conservation Teacher Jeff Angeletti, and the Panama Central School District, represented by Mr. Lictus. The school provided the materials and Mr. Angeletti’s students provided much of the labor. It was a good project for the students since landscaping is a component of the curriculum and this gave them some hands-on training. “The students are getting real life experience and they’re helping the school because it saves us time and money. It helps everyone,” Mr. Lictus said. “These are the kinds of partnerships we should all be doing.” The Conservation/Natural Resource Management Program is a two-year program offered to high school juniors and seniors at the Hewes Center. Stu-

dents spend half the school day at the Hewes Center earning Regent’s Credits in the areas of math, science and English language arts while preparing for a wide variety of careers in fields related to developing and protecting Earth’s natural resources. Areas of study include soil and fertilizers, greenhouse management, landscaping, forestry, heavy equipment operation, watershed management, and wildlife management. E2CCB Career & Technical Education programs combine classroom instruction with hands-on experience. Students enrolled in CTE programs may participate in workplace internships; gain knowledge, skills, and experience in specialized fields of their choosing; and have the opportunity to pursue valuable industry licenses and certifications — all while meeting the necessary requirements to obtain a Regents Diploma.

this year could arguably be considered be the best in recent memory, led by senior captains Tyler Uber and Jake Swan. Meanwhile, juniors Peter Trathen and Jesia Hogue have come on strong as of late and really round out this defense well. “Our defense has continued to play sound fundamental football,” Sirianni said. “We limited a power running team in Wellsville to 43 yards. Our goal was to take Wellsville out of their comfort zone and force them to throw.” It’s a defense that has allowed just 10 points per game this season, but has really clamped down since their overtime thriller against Fredonia. They’ll take on Waverly, the Section 4 champs on the Pennsylvania border just east of Elmira. The Wolverines have turned it around pretty quick after coming off a 3-6 season last year. No remnants of last year’s team can be found here. “Waverly has a potent offense and a stingy defense,” Sirianni said. “They have incredible team speed and some dy-

namic play-makers at their skilled positions. They are well coached and earned a trip to the final four.” They’ve allowed just 61 points in 11 games that include seven shutouts. Plus, they’ve only allowed double-digit points three times this season. One of those came last week in the state quarterfinals against Herkimer, where the Wolverines won 26-13. Their only loss came against a Class B team, Chenango Valley. Offensively, they’re about as balanced as any high school team can get. Quarterback Zack Cooney has thrown for 1,251 yards and has a 62.7 completion percentage. He also boasts an extremely impressive 21-6 TD-INT ratio. “It is important as we prepare, to try to find out as much information on our opponent as possible.” However, Cooney threw for just 18 yards in the win over Herkimer and it was the Wolverines running game that grinded out the win. Nick Puusalu ran for 113 yards and Dylan Gutierrez ran

for 112. Cooney also ran for 70 yards and two touchdowns and the Wolverines piled up 351 yards rushing. It’s pretty obvious the Trojans defense will have their hands full with all of the options the Waverly offense has. With a spot in the state final, Sirianni isn’t the least bit worried about keeping his team focused. “That’s the easy part,” Sirianni said. “We are playing football well into November. We are one of four Class C teams out of 108 in the state that are playing this weekend.” The winner will advance to the state final, next Sunday Nov. 27 at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, the home of the Orange. They will play the winner of Hoosick Falls and Dobbs Ferry, two of the top teams in Class C all year long. No matter how you cut it, though, it’s been an impressive run for a team that not many expected to come this far. “This team plays with heart,” Sirianni said. “Amazing things can happen when a team dedicates their entire self, including their heart, to a common goal.”

New, But Familiar Faces To Lead Men’s Basketball Team Contributed Article

Insider By T.J. TOMASI

IT’S GOOD FOR YOUR GAME

BIRDIES AND BOGEYS

Don’t do it! A magazine editor asked my opinion about Yani Tseng, the LPGA’s newest long-hitting star, who is considering playing in a men’s tour event. I told him I’m against her playing because of how it sounds — not how the idea sounds, but how the ball sounds as it comes off a driver at 120 mph clubhead speed. It was this sound that ruined Michelle Wie who, after hearing the sound of power on the men’s tour, was never quite the same. Women who play in men’s tour events where the course setup is much harder than they are used to, start to press, resulting in high scores that can be like a virus infecting a champion’s delicate software. So it’s a bad idea with no upside except hype, and the LPGA can ill afford to ruin a star just for the hype.

Disappearing act The most likely PGA Tour player to disappear in 2012? In my book, it’s Bubba Watson. Last year he had a good run, winning $3,477,811 while finishing 26th on the money list. But I think his swing is flawed. It’s an out-of-control overswing that requires perfect timing, which is why it won’t age or travel very well. Also, Watson’s short game is suspect, as is his attitude, so I think he’s ridden his horse about as far as it’s going to go.

Tiger Down Under Tiger Woods will play at the upcoming Australian Open, but earlier in the week he’ll be busy with an appearance at a Sydney casino party, a pro-am and a special media conference much like the one that precedes the Super Bowl. Why would Tiger put himself through the agony of rubbing elbows with his public? How about a purported $2 million appearance fee — plus expenses!

TEEING OFF

High handicaps can have advantage

A model swing:

Takeaway This is the second in 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 2: Takeaway The takeaway begins the swing, and it ends its short journey with three outstanding characteristics: 1. The hands and the clubhead are the same height; 2. The shaft is parallel to the target line; 3. The face of the club is square to the arc of the swing. During the takeaway, the head remains in the middle of the shoulders, which are closed and tilted slightly toward the ground. The lead arm is straight and the trail arm has folded just a bit. The right forearm is higher and on top of the left. The weight distribution has changed from address with more weight now flowing into the right hip. The spine retains its position as the hips begin their rotation. At this point the left wrist is flat and in line with the front forearm while the trail wrist has increased its cup. The left knee has turned in a fraction, and it should feel as if your

Visit his be any slack in website at your takeaway tjtomasi.com. because slack breeds slap, i.e., looseness in the backswing causes a weak, slapping action through impact due to a lack of coil. By swinging the lead arm to create maximum stretch, you keep tension on the muscles constant, which leads to a powerful release of this tension at impact. Also, the more stretch you create, the wider your swing arc will be, which gives you more clubhead speed and power. You don’t consciously prevent your chest from moving, but you condition it to wait for the lead arm tug, a signal that comes as soon as you “run out of lead arm.” The proper sequence of motion keeps stretch on the muscles of the lead side of your body, especially your triceps. This is the beginning of coil, and to maximize it, keep your shirt buttons even with the ball until the pull of your lead arm becomes irresistible.

Shameful Stevie In a statement delivered at a mock awards ceremony in Shanghai, Steve Williams, Tiger’s ex-caddie, made one of the most outrageous comments in modern sports history when he responded to a question about his animated celebration when his new loop, Adam Scott, was about to win at Firestone last summer: “It was my aim to shove it right up that black a—.” According to The Associated Press, Woods and Scott are to be in the same group next week at the Australian Open.

Note in the left-hand photo that the face is still square to the arc of the swing even though it’s open (pointing to the right) of the target line. In the right-hand photo, tour pro Robert Allenby demonstrates the end of a perfect takeaway as his front arm swings to a 45-degree angle with the ground. Stop your swing at this point and check in a mirror to make sure you have accomplished the three keys mentioned above both from the target line view and the face-on view. And don’t forget to center your head ala Allenby.

GOLF BY THE NUMBERS

Why Einstein never played golf Q: I’m OK until I get to the ball, and then I just lose whatever I’m trying to think about, and I hit a bad shot and that makes it worse. I’m a 10 index, but I don’t play like it a lot. I think my swing is good, but I don’t get much out of it. Any ideas? — B.V. A: Look on the bright side — you might be too smart for golf. A study shows that smart people who are worried about doing well (they’re smart, so expectations are high) are susceptible to choking. In her book “Choke,” Sian Beilock, associate professor in the Department of Psychology at The University of Chicago, reports: “The pressure causes verbal worries like, ‘Oh no, I can’t screw up.’ These

If you’ve ever played a match that involves using handicaps, you know this: When the highest handicaps receive their full allotment of strokes and everybody plays “their game,” the high handicapper is almost a lock to win. Of course, the higher the handicap, the more likely the player won’t be in top form as often as the player with a better swing, but as a scratch player, I’ll tell you I’d be hard pressed to beat a 20-handicap who’s on his or her regular game that day. In order to make the competition fair, the USGA has a “handicap allowance,” which is the percentage of your course handicap allowed for different kinds of competitions. For example, in four-ball, where two partners each play out their own ball, and the lowest score is the team score for the hole, men can use 90 percent of their handicap, while women use 95 percent. Once you know the form of competition, you can figure your strokes simply by checking the course handicap allowance table provided by the USGA. The table and a detailed explanation of the allowance system is online at usga.org; go to handicap manual section 9-4. The USGA has also tried its best to keep the handicap system fair by introducing Equitable Stroke Control (ESC), a system designed to eliminate the effect of “disaster holes” — that one hole per round where you put three balls in the water and then 3-putt, but play the rest pretty well. It’s also a way to combat those sandbaggers who intentionally blow up on a hole or two in order to raise their handicaps. Equitable Stroke Control puts a limit on the number of strokes you can write down on the scorecard for any one hole, based on your course handicap. For example, on that disaster hole, you might have taken 14 strokes to get the ball in the cup, but based on your course handicap, ESC might require you to post only a 7 on the scorecard you turn in. Sounds good, and it is, but having taught many medium- to high-handicap amateur golfers who are also very successful in other areas of competition, such as business, I can say that even with ESC as a governor, giving shots to a player who understands his strengths and weaknesses, then manages his game based on who he is vs. who his opponent is, makes for a formidable adversary. So next time you make a match, get as many strokes as you can on the first tee, then be like the pro on TV who says, “I’m just going to go out there and play my game” — plus the strokes, of course.

thoughts reside in the working memory and that takes up space that would otherwise be pondering the task at hand. When they begin to worry, then they’re in trouble. People with lower working-memory capacities are not using that capacity to begin with, so they’re not affected by pressure.” So don’t be too discouraged if you have trouble figuring out the yardage and the club in a 20-mile-an-hour crosswind over water. It may just be you’re too brainy to play this game. Maybe that’s why Einstein never played much golf. (To Ask the Pro a question about golf, email him at: TJInsider@aol.com.)

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“It’s a new era with new golfers. You’ve got Luke Donald at No. 1, guys bubbling under like Adam Scott and Jason Day. You’ve got Rory McIlroy and Keegan Bradley winning majors. I’m thinking we are on the verge of a new Big Five or Big Six.” — Nick Faldo

108 holes of hard golf for 25 slots One way to play on the PGA Tour is by qualifying at Q School. There are four stages: pre-qualifying, first stage, second stage (all 72-hole tournaments) and the final stage (108 holes). The final stage will be at PGA West in La Quinta, Calif., in early December, and the low 25 finishers and ties will earn their PGA Tour cards. To participate in Q School, you must pay a $4,500 entry fee for the first qualifying stage, $4,000 for the second stage and $3,500 for the final stage, so it’s not for the “faint of purse.” You can earn prize money only in the final stage.

Flange puts bounce in wedge

’Tis the season for very merry golf gifts

Your sand wedge has a different bottom than your other clubs. This flange ensures that the leading edge of your club won’t touch the ground when soled. The term “bounce” is used to describe the effectiveness of the flange in producing a club that won’t get caught in the sand. The more bounce on your flange, the more it slides rather than digs. The average sand wedge has around 56 degrees of loft with 11 degrees of bounce to prevent the leading edge from taking too much sand, but there are many combinations of loft and bounce, so you need to test them out before you choose. If your swing is steep, more bounce is good, so it doesn’t snag in the ground. If your swing is

shallow, use less bounce so the clubhead doesn’t skid. Also, the tighter the lie, the less bounce you’ll need, so it’s a good idea to carry at least three or even four wedges to be ready for anything.

Looking for a different kind of golf gift this holiday season? Check out www.uncommongoods.com and search for “golf.” In addition to cuff links and bottle stoppers, the site also offers rocking chairs made of golf clubs and a set of barbecue utensils that will be the envy of your neighborhood.

Note how the club on the left, a sand wedge, has more bounce than the club on the right, which is a pitching wedge.

Frustrating Weekend Gives Ironmen Deserved Two-Week Break Jamestown Ironmen Partner With Chautauqua Sports Hall Of Fame

By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

It was another tough road weekend for the Jamestown Ironmen who saw their record away from the Jamestown Savings Bank Ice Arena slip to 3-12-1 when they grabbed just one point in a three-game swing through Michigan. The Ironmen couldn’t solve the Port Huron Fighting Falcons again this season, which has now beaten them four out of five times this season. It was another one-goal game, though, that saw Jamestown lose 3-2. “It was a frustrating weekend,” head coach Dan Daikawa said. “We don’t play well up there (Port Huron). Maybe there’s something in the air or something, but again we didn’t start well.” The Ironmen fell behind 2-0 early, but battled back in the second period to tie the game with goals from Jeff MacFarland and Aaron Scheppelman. But a third period that saw Jamestown get outshot 19-9 saw Logan Lemirande score a shorthanded goal with less than eight minutes remaining in the game to burn the Ironmen. Saturday, the Michigan Warriors got some payback after being swept by the Ironmen last weekend. The Ironmen outshot Michigan 47-33, but the Warriors goalie, one of the best in the league Brach Tiller stopped 46 of those shots as Michigan won 5-1. “We outshot them, but I didn’t think we played that well,” Daikawa said. “We didn’t play smart hockey.” Sunday in Kalamazoo — the third city in three days the Ironmen visited — was just

about as frustrating of a night as it could get. The Ironmen led 3-1 heading into the third period and had the game well in hand after a dominating second period. Jamestown peppered 21 shots and scored three times to seemingly take command of the game. “That second period was the best period we’ve played all year long,” Daikawa said. The Ironmen thought they had held on, but Andrew Graves scored with 3:30 left in the game to come within a goal. Then, as the final seconds ticked off, goaltender Joey Ballmer appeared to make a game-winning save, but the puck trickled in as the final buzzer sounded. Officials convened and agreed it had gone in, thus tying the game and forcing into overtime, which Jamestown ultimately

lost in a shootout. “We had a chance to clear it and it something that 99 times out of 100, we clear it,” Daikawa said. “In this case, we didn’t make the right play and we lost. That was our weekend.” It certainly was a frustrating week for the Ironmen, who played well enough to win all three games, but came out with just the one point. It is a good sign though, for a team that has struggled to even be in games on the road. Anyhow, after a frustrating three nights, head coach Dan Daikawa and his team will get a bit of a breather. The Ironmen have played the most games throughout the NAHL and will get the weekend off. “It will give us a chance to clear our minds,” Daikawa said. “We’re giving the boys the weekend off to go home

and refocus on what we’re doing. We’ll come back Sunday and have a team function and get back into the swing of things Monday.” They’ll return to action next weekend, Friday Nov. 25 and Saturday Nov. 26 against the Michigan Warriors again. It will be their eighth and ninth meeting against the Warriors and will be the last time Michigan visits the JSBIA until March. “You know everybody in the North Division is beating each other up right now,” Daikawa said. “We think we’re going to be just fine and if we can make the playoffs, we’re going to be a tough team to beat. “We have a bunch of home games left on the schedule and if we can continue playing good hockey at home, and get our fans to come out now that football is over, we’ll be fine.”

Ironmen Players and Mascot Visit Russell Elementary The players explained to the children how hard work is very important and how it translates into being a successful student. Many children received hugs and high-fives from Moore, Stempin and Dynamo, and got a chance to talk to the players one on one which proved to be the more exciting part of the day for them. Most of the children were also given a new Ironmen folder and magnetic schedule as a gift. “This was a great opportunity for our players to get out into the community. Thank you to Mrs. Nowacki and her students for their participation in our coloring contest and we are more than happy to come visit them to show our appreciation,” said Ironmen Head Coach Dan Daikawa.

In the collaborative effort, the NAHL’s newest franchise donated an authentic Ironmen game jersey to President Randy Anderson and Secretary Russ Ecklund of the Hall of Fame. “This is more than just a hockey team,” explained Ecklund. “These young men are on their way to collegiate hockey and have very bright futures.” “We are very excited that the Hall of Fame has welcomed us to Chautauqua County in this way and shown us so much support,” said Ironmen head coach Dan Daikawa. “Giving them a jersey and a hand in raising some money is the least we can do.”

Boise State Doomed By Missed Field Goal For Second Straight Year By Todd Dvorak Associated Press

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Boise State's hopes for a perfect season and a BCS reward faded when freshman kicker Dan Goodale's last-second field goal attempt sailed wide right of the uprights. But the Broncos' troubles in a 36-35 upset loss to TCU on Saturday began long before that final play, from a series of missed opportunities and miscues to the absence of some key players due to an injury bug that has plagued the team all season. “There are a lot of different guys who are a part of this team,'' said coach Chris Petersen, trying to deﬂect blame from Goodale. “That's a key play that you want to make, but there are so many other plays that if we could've made, we wouldn't be in that situation. I don't think we can just focus on the ending,'' Petersen said. What has ended is another run for a big money BCS

game, much in the same way it did a year ago when Kyle Brotzman missed a gamewinning field goal near the end of regulation and another in overtime in a crushing loss 34-31 loss at Nevada. Saturday's loss also dropped Boise State five spots to No. 10 in The Associated Press Top 25 on Sunday. Now, the postseason itinerary for Boise State (8-1, 3-1 Mountain West Conference) includes destinations such as the MAACO Bowl in Las Vegas or the Poinsettia Bowl in San Diego — venues the Broncos have been before, but are ultimately considered letdowns for a team that now starts each season thinking bigger. The Broncos travel to San Diego State on Saturday before closing out with home games against Wyoming and New Mexico, a lineup that plays in their favor — barring any emotional meltdowns. “We've got a lot of football left to play, so what we have to do is just clean up the things that aren't where we want to be right now,'' Petersen said.

Still, some fixes may be beyond a coach's control. The Broncos were hobbled Saturday by injuries to some key players and the youth and inexperience of their replacements. Credit TCU coaches and quarterback Casey Pachall for targeting the Broncos' weaknesses and taking advantage early and often. But the Broncos' pass rush was non-existent and didn't register a single sack in the

Players Reject Latest Union Offer; Season On Brink Of Collapse By Brian Mahoney Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) — NBA players rejected the league’s latest offer Monday and began disbanding the union, likely jeopardizing the season. “We’re prepared to file this antitrust action against the NBA,” union executive director Billy Hunter said. “That’s the best situation where players can get their due process.” And that’s a tragedy as far as NBA Commissioner David Stern is concerned. “It looks like the 2011-12 season is really in jeopardy,” Stern said in an interview aired on ESPN. “It’s just a big charade. To do it now, the union is ratcheting up I guess to see if they can scare the NBA owners or something. That’s not happening.” Hunter said players were not prepared to accept Stern’s ultimatum to accept the current proposal or face a worse one, saying they thought it was “extremely unfair.” Stern had urged players to take the deal on the table, saying it’s the best the NBA could offer and warned that decertification is not a winning strategy. Instead, players went a different route, believing that filing the disclaimer is much quicker that the decertification process and gives them a chance to win several billion dollars in triple damages. “This is the best decision for the players,” union president Derek Fisher said. “I want to reiterate that point, that a lot of individual players have a lot of things personally at stake in terms of their careers and where they stand. And right now they feel it’s important — we all feel it’s important to all our players, not just the ones in this room, but our entire group — that we not only try to get a deal done for today but for the body of NBA players that will come into this league over the next decade and beyond.” Fisher, ﬂanked at a press conference by dozens of players including Kobe Bryant and Carmelo Anthony, said the decision was unanimous. Hunter said the NBPA was in the process of converting to a trade association and that all players will be represented in a class-action suit against the

NBA by attorneys Jeffrey Kessler and David Boies — who were on opposite sides of the NFL labor dispute, Kessler working for the players, Boise for the league. “The fact that the two biggest legal adversaries in the NFL players dispute over the NFL lockout both agree that the NBA lockout is now illegal and subject to triple damages speaks for itself,” Kessler said in an email to The Associated Press. “I am delighted to work together with David Boies on behalf of the NBA players.” Stern was not impressed with his legal adversaries. “Mr. Kessler got his way, and we’re about to go into the nuclear winter of the NBA,” he told ESPN. “If I were a player … I would be wondering what it is that Billy Hunter just did.” Hunter said the NBPA’s “notice of disclaimer” was filed with Stern’s office about an hour before the news conference announcing the move. Hunter said the bargaining process had “completely broken down.” Players and owners have been talking for some two years but couldn’t reach a deal, with players feeling the league’s desires to improve competitive balance would hurt their free agency options. And beyond that, the owners’ desire for a 50-50 split of basketball-related income, after players were guaranteed 57 percent under the old deal, meant players were shifting at least $280 million per year to the owners. “This deal could have been done. It should have been done,” Hunter said. “We’ve given and given and given, and they got to the place where they just reached for too much and the players decided to push back.” Over the weekend, Stern said he would not cancel the season this week. Regardless, damage has already been done, in many ways. Financially, both sides have lost hundreds of millions because of the games missed and the countless more that will be wiped out before play resumes. Team employees are losing money, and in some cases, jobs. And both the NBA and NBPA eventually must regain the loyalty of an angered fan base that wonders how the league reached this low point after such a strong 2010-11

season. The proposal rejected by the players called for a 72-game season beginning Dec. 15. On Sunday, the league made a very public push on the positives of the deal — hosting a 90-minute twitter chat to answer questions from players and fans, posting a YouTube video to explain the key points and sending a memo from Stern to players urging them to “study our proposal carefully, and to accept it as a fair compromise of the issues between us.” In the memo, posted on the league’s website, Stern highlighted points of the deal and asked players to focus on the compromises the league made during negotiations, such as dropping its demands for a hard salary cap, non-guaranteed contracts and salary rollbacks. Union officials repeatedly have said the system issues are perhaps more important to them than the split of basketball-related income, but owners say they need fundamental changes in both to allow for a chance to profit and to ensure more competitive balance throughout the league. The previous CBA expired at the end of the day June 30. Despite a series of meetings in June, there was never much hope of a deal before that deadline, with owners wanting significant changes after saying they lost $300 million last season and hundreds of millions more in each year of the old agreement, which was ratified in 2005. Owners wanted to keep more of the league’s nearly $4 billion in basketball revenues. And they sought a system where even the smallest-market clubs could compete, believing the current system would always favor the teams who could spend the most. The NBA’s last work stoppage reduced the 1998-99 season to 50 games. Monday marked the 137th day of the lockout; the NFL lockout lasted 136 days.

absence of all-conference lineman Billy Winn, who didn't play until late in the game because of an injured foot. The defense was also forced to play most of the game with two backup cornerbacks: freshman Lee Hightower and sophomore Quaylon EwingBurton. Both were thrust into the lineup after starters Jamar Taylor and Ebo Makinde left with injuries. The secondary was already playing without its best pass defender, corner-

back Jerrell Gavens, who is out for the season. From the start, Pachall and the fast and physical TCU receiving corps proved way too much for Boise State's underclassmen. Pachall threw for a careerbest 473 yards passing and five touchdowns, including scores of 75, 74 and 69 yards in the first half. Down the stretch, TCU receivers used their experience and size to outmaneuver or outleap Broncos defenders, most notably Brandon Carter's 25-yard, leaping touchdown grab over a defender that brought the Horned Frogs within 35-34, and the ensuing 2-point conversion catch and run by Josh Boyce that put TCU in front. “We knew they had been banged up at corner,'' TCU coach Gary Patterson said. “We knew we weren't going to be able to drive on that defense, so we were going to have to create some big plays.'' On the other side of the ball, Boise State played without its best running back, Doug Martin, who was nursing a

leg injured against UNLV. His replacement, D.J. Harper, had a great day, rushing for 125 yards and two touchdowns on 24 carries. But Harper also left the game with an injured ankle when the Broncos were trying to kill the clock and pad the score. His replacement, Drew Wright, who had 36 rushing attempts all season, fumbled on his third carry and TCU recovered. Pachall marched the Horned Frogs down the field for a touchdown and goahead 2-point conversion. Petersen refused to blame the circumstances or to discuss the significance of the loss, which also snapped Boise State's 35-game home winning streak and spoiled chances of winning the MWC title in their first — and possibly last — year in the league. “You can always keep tracing it back, there's always one more play,'' he said. “There's always these key ones that jump out, but our defense has to make a stop at the end. There's just so many different plays.''

MLB Rookies Of The Year Chosen Contributed Article Associated Press

NEW YORK — Atlanta Braves closer Craig Kimbrel became the NL Rookie of the Year in a unanimous vote and Tampa Bay pitcher Jeremy Hellickson was a clear winner for the AL award Monday. Kimbrel set a major league record for saves by a rookie with 46. The hard-throwing righthander earned all 32 first-place votes in balloting by the Baseball Writers' Association of America. Kimbrel outpointed Braves teammate Freddie Freeman. Hellickson went 13-10 with a 2.95 ERA in helping the Rays win the AL wild-card spot. He drew 17 of 28 first-place votes and finished well ahead of Los Angeles Angels first baseman Mark Trumbo. The AL Cy Young Award will be announced Tuesday. Detroit ace Justin Verlander is expected to easily win. Kimbrel was overpowering for much of the season, striking out 127 in 77 innings. He also anchored a dominant Braves bullpen, pitching 79 games. He was 4-3 with a 2.10 ERA. The 23-year-old Kimbrel made 38 straight appearances in midseason without allowing a run. He seemed to wear down a bit in the stretch as the Braves frittered away a 10½-game lead in the NL wild-card race. His eighth blown save of the year came in the final game of the season, when he gave up the tying run in the ninth inning against Philadelphia. The Phillies went on to win in 13 innings, costing the Braves a spot in a one-game playoff against St. Louis for the wild-card slot. Kimbrel wound up tied with Milwaukee's John Axford for the NL lead in saves. He became the 10th unanimous NL rookie winner, and first since Albert Pujols in 2001. Kimbrel was the seventh Braves player to win the award that began in 1947, and first since Rafael Furcal in 2000. Kimbrel, who pitched 21 games in 2010 but still retained

his rookie eligibility, earned 160 points in the BBWAA balloting. Freeman, who hit .282 with 21 home runs and 76 RBIs, was second with 21 second-place votes and 70 points. Kimbrel and Freeman became the first pair of teammates to finish 1-2 in the NL rookie voting since Cubs outfielders Jerome Walton and Dwight Smith in 1989. Philadelphia pitcher Vance Worley was third and Washington catcher Wilson Ramos was fourth. Ramos was kidnapped in Venezuela last week and freed Saturday when commandos raided the mountain hideout where he was being held. Hellickson was a big reason the Rays were able to erase a ninegame deficit against Boston in the last 3½ weeks to win the AL wild-card spot. He was unbeaten in five starts against AL East teams in the final month, and finished 7-3 in games

against division rivals. The 24-year-old Hellickson is generously listed at 6-foot-1, but held up extremely well over 29 starts. He led all big league rookies in ERA, innings (189) and opponents' batting average (.210). Hellickson, who went 4-0 in 10 for the Rays in 2010, joined Evan Longoria (2008) as Tampa Bay players to win the AL rookie honor. Hellickson finished with 102 points. Trumbo drew five first-place votes and 63 points. Eric Hosmer, who hit .293 with 19 home runs and 78 RBIs after being called up by Kansas City in May, got four first-place votes and 38 points. Ivan Nova, 16-4 with a 3.70 ERA for the New York Yankees, got one first-place vote and was fourth with 30. Seattle second baseman Dustin Ackley drew the other first-place vote.

Romo And Cowboys Defense Embarrass Bills

most points since Sept. 9, 2007, which was the first game that current coach Jason Garrett was coordinating the offense. They also enjoyed their most lopsided win since Oct. 22, 2000. This 37-point margin is bigger than any regular-season victory in Dallas with Jimmy Johnson, Bill Parcells or Barry Switzer on the sideline. "I think that's as good as we played against a team that's credible," Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said. "I think overall — the (run-pass) balance, feeling like we could create problems for their defense — I haven't felt like that since Jason has been the head coach. It shows we are making improvement." Romo put Dallas ahead 21-0 by throwing touchdown passes of 34 yards to Dez Bryant and 58 and 5 yards to Laurent Robinson. He hit his first 13 attempts and finished 23 of 26 (88.5 percent), setting the franchise record for single-game accuracy. Romo didn't lead any more touchdown drives after those first four possessions, but he also didn't do anything to ruin what he'd built. He had no interceptions and

wasn't sacked, doing both for a second straight week. Being error-free Sunday was especially noteworthy because he was facing the defense that leads the NFL in takeaways and had the second-most interceptions. "We are learning a little bit about who we are and what we can do and what we are

capable of doing," Romo said. Romo is clearly benefiting from the rapid development of rookie running back DeMarco Murray. He turned 20 carries into 135 yards and a touchdown and had 35 yards on six receptions. Murray was a concern of the defense all day, drawing enough attention to create open space for Romo

19 er City ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Ryan Fitzpatrick and the upstart Buffalo Bills were able to defy expectations once before by getting off to a A surprising start this season. got The quarterback doesn't see why they can't do it s again, and this time in the midst of a midseason nd swoon and a growing list of injuries that now ew includes center Eric Wood, who will miss the rest of the year with a torn ligament in his right knee. "Nobody expects anything out of us again," Fitzpatrick said Monday, a day after the Bills were left embarrassed following a 44-7 loss at Dallas. "We've got to play loose. We've got no pressure on us." After getting off to a 4-1 start, Buffalo has dropped three of its past four heading into a trip to Miami (2-7) this weekend. The Bills' once-prolific offense is sputtering, their defense remains porous, and the injuries are depleting the team's depth, which was thin to begin with. Wood was hurt Sunday, and becomes the third regular in as many weeks to be placed on injured reserve, joining starting defensive tackle Kyle Williams (foot) and linebacker Shawne Merriman (Achilles tendon). Rookie linebacker Chris White will also miss the remainder of the season after tearing a ligament in his right knee as well against Dallas. Wood said doctors are waiting for the swelling to subside before determining when to have surgery. It'll be the second season-ending operation Wood's had in his three years in Buffalo; he broke two bones in his left leg during his rookie season. "It's definitely not something I wanted to go through again, another long rehab process," said Wood, who walked on crutches and had his knee in a brace. "But I'll do it. And I'll just look to come back stronger next year." The initial prognosis is Wood will miss between seven and nine months, though the center said he's aiming to be ready for the start of training camp next summer. The second of Buffalo's two first-round draft picks in 2009, Wood was hurt after Fitzpatrick threw his first of three interceptions late in the third quarter. Turning to chase down Cowboys cornerback Terence Newman, Wood said he was attempting to sidestep a Dallas player when he ran into linebacker DeMarcus Ware and fell awkwardly. White was hurt while covering a punt earlier in the third quarter. Coach Chan Gailey added that receiver Steve Johnson is day to day after he hurt his left shoulder in the fourth quarter and did not return. The status of safety George Wilson (stinger) is also uncertain this week.

AFC EAST New England NY Jets Buffalo Miami AFC NORTH Pittsburgh Baltimore Cincinnati Cleveland AFC SOUTH Houston Tennessee Eric Wood (AP Photo/Gary Wiepert) Jacksonville Indianapolis Wood's injury is the most significant, and latest blow to an offense that's suddenly turned AFC WEST anemic. After opening the season by scoring 20 or more points in its first seven games, Buffalo Oakland has combined for 18 in its past two, including a San Diego 27-11 loss to the Jets. Denver Fitzpatrick is particularly struggling. After Kansas City combining for nine touchdowns and four interceptions in his first four starts, he has seven touchdowns, nine interceptions and a lost NFC EAST fumble in his past five outings. NY Giants "We haven't shown up two weeks in a row. It's disheartening," Fitzpatrick said. "It's obviously Dallas Philadelphia not something that we saw coming or that we wanted to go out and lay two eggs in a row. You Washington move on. We'll move on." NFC NORTH They'll do so with an offensive line that's alGreen Bay ready banged up. Left guard Andy Levitre has spent the past three Detroit games starting at left tackle filling in for both Chicago starter Demetrius Bell (shoulder) and rookie Minnesota backup Chris Hairston (ankle). Bell has not NFC SOUTH practiced since being hurt six weeks ago, while Hairston was left inactive the past two weeks. New Orleans Gailey said Levitre will likely make yet another Atlanta positional switch and take over at center for Wood. Tampa Bay Hairston is expected to return at left tackle. Carolina The Bills defense isn't helping. It allowed 433 yards offense against Cowboys, the sixth time this season NFC WEST the unit's given up 400 or more yards. The Bills San Francisco also failed to register a sack for the fifth time this Seattle season. They have 15 sacks, with 10 of them comArizona ing in a 23-0 win over Washington on Oct. 30. St. Louis Running back Fred Jackson remained confident the Bills can bounce back. "It's not the end of the world for us," Jackson said. "We know we've got a lot to prove. There's still a lot of season left, and we have to go out and earn everything we get for the rest of the season. We know that, and it's a challenge we're looking forward to."

to work to get better," Gailey said. "But you have to go do it. Nobody's going to give you anything in this league.” Ryan Fitzpatrick was 20 of 31 for 146 yards and a touchdown, a 3-yarder to David Nelson punctuated by Nelson presenting the ball to his girlfriend — a Cowboys cheerleader. Fitzpatrick helped make Cowboys cheerleaders happy all afternoon. He threw a season-worst three interceptions and converted only 2 of 7 third-down attempts. This was the second straight ugly outing for Fitzpatrick, who recently signed a $59 million, six-year contract. "We put in some good practice time and really thought we'd come out here and play well," Fitzpatrick said. "It's hard to even think ahead right now because of how embarrassing that loss was." Dallas' defense was opportunistic from the start, with DeMarcus Ware sacking Fitzpatrick on Buffalo's first offensive play. The Cowboys racked up four turnovers, including a fumble by Jackson. The local kid still had a productive day, gaining 114 yards on 13 carries.

in the secondary. Murray also continued to show it's going to take a lot of guys to stop him as he made several highlight-worthy moves — hurdling safety Jairus Byrd and, on another play, cutting back across the field to turn a likely loss into a 25-yard gain. "They can't load the box on us and they can't double-team wide receivers," Murray said. Another reason for Romo's crisp performance: He's finally over the broken rib he hurt in Week 2. This was the first game he played since then without a special vest for protection. Buffalo (5-4) lost its second straight and third in four games. The rout made it an especially bitter homecoming for coach Chan Gailey and running back Fred Jackson. Gailey coached the Cowboys to the playoffs in 1998-99, his only two years on the job, and Jackson grew up in this suburb, at one time living on the property that's now Cowboys Stadium. Gailey said he told the Bills they did little right, but that he still believes in them. "We will regroup and continue

Resilient Bonnies Take Down Nationally Ranked St. John’s Contributed Article

St. Bonaventure Sports Information

QUEENS, N.Y. — Down 10 points with eight minutes remaining Saturday afternoon, the St. Bonaventure women's basketball team fought back and opened its season by claiming its first-ever road win over a nationally ranked opponent as it defeated No. 25 St. John's, 64-58. The win is just the second over a nationally ranked team in the program's history. The other came Dec. 7, 2008 at home against No. 21/24 Michigan State. Senior Megan Van Tatenhove led all scorers and rebounders with a 16-point, seven-carom performance, while classmates Jessica Jenkins and Armelia Horton each added 14 points for St. Bonaventure. The Bonnies took care of that 10-point deficit with a single run, as the club went on an 11-0 stretch to take a 55-54 lead at the 3:41 mark following a Van Tatenhove layup. The two teams then traded baskets over the next few minutes, and with 2:21 left the game remained tied at 57-57. From that point on, the Bonnies locked down on the Red

Storm and closed the game on a 7-1 run for its first win over St. John's and its seventh consecutive season-opening triumph. St. John's was paced by Eugenia McPherson who led a trio of scorers with 15 points. Shenneika Smith added 12 while Mary Nwachukwu contributed 10. In the first half, St. Bonaventure turned the ball over nine times, but more importantly the Red Storm converted those nine giveaways into 16 points — nearly half of their entire point total in the opening frame. In the second half, Bona's turned the ball over just two times — and not once in the final 13:14 of

the game. Conversely, St. John's gave the ball away 10 times. The Bonnies turned those 10 giveaways into 16 points, and did not allow a single point off a turnover in the second half to the Red Storm. Jenkins was saddled with foul trouble throughout as she had four fouls midway through the second half, limiting her minutes to just 19 on the day. However, the Atlantic 10's leading returning 3-point shooter was efficient in her time on the ﬂoor, connecting on 4-of-6 3-point attempts. St. John's used an 11-0 run midway through the first half to open up its largest lead of

the game, 29-16, at the 6:02 mark. However, despite the foul issues, the Bonnies were able to fight their way back behind Horton to trail by just five at the half, 34-29. Horton kept the Bonnies in the game in the first half as the Harlem native finished the opening 20 minutes with a team-high 11 points. That's a total she surpassed just three times in a game all of last season. St. Bonaventure will have a quick turnaround as it heads to Canisius on Monday for a battle with Little Three rival Canisius. Tipoff is slated for 7 p.m. as the Griffs will open their season.

Enroth Shines Again As Sabres Sneak By Habs In Shootout

Contributed Article Associated Press

MONTREAL — Thomas Vanek and Brad Boyes were perfect in the shootout for the Buffalo Sabres, so Jhonas Enroth didn't have to be. Vanek and Boyes scored in the tiebreaker to help Buffalo beat the Montreal Canadiens 3-2 e on Monday night. s- Enroth, who started in place of injured starter t Ryan Miller, stopped two of Montreal's three shootout attempts to improve to 6-0 this season. a "It makes my job easier when you have Vanek and Boyes and guys like that as the shooters," said Enroth, who made 25 saves during the game. "They're pretty much 100 percent." Miller sustained a concussion Saturday night nd in a collision with Boston forward Milan Lucic ow-in the Sabres' 6-2 loss to Boston. Lucic, who ute got a minor penalty for the hit, did not receive any additional sanctions following his hearing for earlier in the day with league disciplinarian n Brendan Shanahan. AA "It was a little bit disappointing," said captain Jason Pominville, who scored 53 seconds into ed the third to launch Buffalo's comeback. "Obvirst ously, us, being on the side where the goalie gets te a hit, we would have liked to have action taken, especially that Ryan is going to miss time. At the same time I'm sure they have their reasons but o we have our reasons, too, to think that it might ndsopen the door to other things to happen.

"I mean, if that's not a suspension, I don't know what can be on a goalie getting hit out of his space." Derek Roy also scored in regulation for Buffalo, which overcame a 2-0 deficit in the third period for its fourth victory in five games.

COMMENTARY continued from pg 1

als st of to the Brian Moorman worknd out routine, capable of even d making Trent Edwards blush. nBut, that’s what it’s been in rd each of the last two routs. Chalk it up to the Ryan brothers if you want, but not o too long ago I remembered telling myself how much the Bills lack a vertical threat on offense. And with no reason to think the Bills could beat you deep, why not press up and take away the Bills quick slants and outs. Well, don’t I feel smart. Although, it wasn’t exactly a d Rubik’s cube to solve, either. it Now the, 8 or 9-yard slant route is turned into an incompletion. Stevie Johnson caught two passes for eight ed- yards against the Cowboys. So much for thinking no cor19 nerback could knock Stevie off the line. , Regardless, two catches isn’t d good enough and Johnson has gone over 60 yards receiving just one time in the last six games. The Bills asm record in those games? 2-4. ms It’s certainly not the reason the Bills win or lose, but it’s - become increasingly obvious nts. that if the Bills offense can’t n stay on the field, the defense simply can’t get off of it. That is unless they’re not giving up ller 60-yards bombs to some guy y in named Laurent Robinson. me Thus, if head coach Chan Gailey doesn’t figure out a nts way to fix this passing game, the Bills aren’t only in danger er of missing the playoffs, but perhaps in danger of even reaching .500. And oh yeah, a me 00-

g d

Fitzpatrick recently signed a deal to become the highestpaid Bills player ever, so getting that sorted out would be nice too. And for those crying injury, please. They only guy in the offense — besides the line — they’re missing is Roscoe Parrish. Sure, the line might be battered up, but the running game is perfectly fine. Besides, the passing game was built on quick passes anyhow. Defensively, if you think Shawne Merriman was the glue, you’re insane. Losing Kyle Williams hurts, but he wasn’t really healthy — or effective — at all this year. It’s also become rather obvious that if defensive coordinator George Edwards doesn’t blitz virtually every linebacker, the Bills will get no pass rush. And with a group of cornerbacks I’m ready to argue are the worst in the league, quarterbacks like Tony Romo will have days where they go 23-of-26 for 270 yards and 3 touchdowns. Mind you, those were basically his halftime numbers, too. OK, to the positives, because there are actually some. Fred Jackson is a monster. He leads the NFL in rushing yards and has to be the focal point of this offense going forward. Please, for the love of God Chan, stop throwing the ball in short yardage situations. There aren’t many positives on defense, but the Bills really only face one elite quar-

terback (Phillip Rivers) in their next six games. Perhaps the Bills will focus in on the run game on the both sides of the ball going forward. Which, of course leaves me the schedule. It’d be hard to look the past the Miami Dolphins anyhow, but considering the Dolphins have won straight, while the Bills have lost two straight, this Sunday’s game is suddenly worrisome. But considering the Dolphins aren’t winless and are out of the playoff race, the Bills are actually catching them at the perfect time. And to be honest, if the Bills get to 6-4, the worst they can be is tied with the Jets in the standings heading into Week 12. That final AFC playoff spot will likely come down to the Jets, Bengals or Titans. The Bengals still have to play Pittsburgh, Baltimore and Houston a combined four times, while the Titans have to play Atlanta, New Orleans, Houston and the Bills. Thus, the Bills clearly still have everything in front of them, regardless of how awful they’ve been. Take care of business with Miami and the rematch in the Meadowlands in two weeks should determine the season. So ditch any memories of those last two weeks if you haven’t already. The Bills haven’t been 6-4 since 2000 and they can do that this week. It’s still OK to be excited.

Vanek assisted on both goals. "We've got to move forward and this was a good test for us and I thought we responded in the right way tonight," Pominville said. "The two points were what we wanted and we were able to dig deep and find away."

Max Pacioretty and Erik Cole scored for the Canadiens, and Carey Price made 30 saves. Montreal opened the scoring at 3:58 of the second. Defenseman P.K. Subban sent pass over to Cole, who ripped a slap shot from the left faceoff circle for his fourth of the season. Pacioretty made it 2-0 with 5:43 left in the period when his shot just trickled past Enroth. Pominville scored 53 seconds into the third period when he was left alone in the slot to beat Price. The Sabres took advantage of Subban's turnover to tie it with 7:30 left in regulation. Vanek picked up the loose puck and sent it to Roy, who converted his sixth of the season on a delayed penalty against Montreal. "We got away from our game there in the third period," said Pacioretty, who has four goals in five games. "It doesn't matter that we were winning 2-0, we've got to play the game that made us successful. We got away from that." GAME NOTES Montreal's Jaroslav Spacek left in the second period with an unspecified injury, leaving the Canadiens with just five defensemen. The Canadiens also lost center Andreas Engqvist to injury in the second period. The 23-year-old was called up earlier in the day from Hamilton of the AHL. ... The Sabres were without Miller and forwards Jochen Hecht (concussion) and Tyler Ennis (ankle).

More Hunters Make For Better Hunting By Steve Peacock Star Outdoors Writer

All of the last minute scrambling to make sure I am completely ready to deer hunt has me missing the old days. When opening day used to fall on a Monday I never remember this struggle to get all of the gear ready plus the home projects I am trying to finish off. Back then you had one last weekend to wrap things up. I guess the Saturday opener is better especially if you can not get Monday off work. That means more hunters in the woods on opening weekend which is good for everyone. When the weather is warmer the deer are very content to sleep all day unless a hunter comes along. In more wintry weather the deer will move around during the day even without hunting pressure. Saturday is forecasted to have nice weather so the hunting could be slow without the hunter pressure moving the deer around. I prefer to hunt in snowy conditions so if I have any vacation days I try to take them

2011 CHASE CONTENDERS

Chase standings following the Kobalt Tools 500 at Phoenix International Raceway 1. Carl Edwards 2,359; Leader (finished second) Heading to for the season finale, it really is a twoman Chase, as the other 10 drivers have been mathematically eliminated. At Phoenix, Edwards and Tony Stewart finished bumper to bumper behind winner Kasey Kahne. “[Stewart] really stepped it up,” Edwards said. “They are making us perform the best we ever have and we are doing the same to them.” 2. Tony Stewart -3 (finished third) He led the most laps, but faded at the end. Still, he rallied to take third place from Jeff Burton. “We’ll just keep doing what we’re doing,” he said.“We have a third and two wins ... we’re going to keep the pressure on.” 3. Kevin Harvick -51 (finished 19th) After a string of strong finishes, he’s fallen off his pace. “We didn’t quite know what to expect with the new surface and the weather this weekend,” he said. “We took some gambles and it didn’t work out ...”

4. Brad Keselowski -65 (finished 18th) He ran in the top five for a time but couldn’t stay there.“We had a really good Dodge Charger at the first of the race and felt like we had a car to win it,” he said. “As the race progressed just lost the handle on it ...I just didn’t execute at the end of the race.”

5. Jimmie Johnson -68 (finished 14th) His streak of five consecutive Cup championships officially came to an end at a track where he’s normally a dominant driver. “I’m definitely disappointed that we won’t be able to go to Homestead and race for our sixth [championship] but that’s motorsports,” he said. “It’s a very tough business. What we did over the last five years was absolutely spectacular.”

6. Matt Kenseth -70 (finished 34th) He started on the pole and was fast before a brake problem put him in a vulnerable position.Brian Vickers took advantage and put him in the wall, an apparent retaliation for an incident between the two of them at Martinsville two weeks before. “Obviously it is retaliation for retaliation,” Kenseth said.

Kevin Harvick Inc. closes book on successful decade of racing

evin Harvick Inc., which will field cars and trucks for the final time this weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway, has been a unique – and successful – part of the NASCAR landscape for more than 10 years. In that time, the team owned by Kevin and DeLana Harvick has fielded more than 700 cars and trucks, winning 43 Camping World Truck Series races and three owners championships along with 10 Nationwide Series races. The team was started back in 2001, a product of the frustrations both Harvicks had experienced in their early days in the sport. Kevin had struggled with mediocre equipment early in his career and had never won a truck race at that time. He nearly won the first truck race he entered as driver/owner, finishing second at Richmond. Some time later, he drew up the initial plans for the KHI complex on a napkin as he and his wife sat in their motorhome at Homestead-Miami Speedway. DeLana grew up going to the races with her father, the late John Paul Linville. He had hauled his cars and equipment in a converted cube van with the race car on an open trailer, while many of his competitors had fancy enclosed haulers. “My dad built homes. He didn’t have [a] fulltime sponsor, and we always raced with what we could afford,” she said during a 2005 interview as she sat in her second-story office at the 50,000-square-foot KHI building in her hometown of Kernersville, N.C. “I know what it’s like to show up at the race track underfunded

and with inferior equipment, and now I know what it’s like to show up with good equipment and good guys. “It’s a totally different feeling. It makes you appreciate it a lot more.” DeLana’s area of responsibility was focused on business issues such as licensing and merchandising, but her passion was downstairs in the race shop and at the race track. “If the toilet paper needs changing, I’ll do it, or if the trash needs emptying, I’ll do it,” she said. “Nobody’s going to care as much about this place as we do. It’s our baby, and it’s probably a big reason why we don’t have children.” Delana’s devotion and love of the race team was never more apparent than at Daytona in 2005, when Tony Stewart gave the Harvicks their first Nationwide win as car owners. “When Tony started moving up through the field, I totally forgot Kevin was on the race track,” she said. “I got to Victory Lane, and I said, ‘My God, where did Kevin finish?’ “I had no idea he finished second.” But that all comes to an end this weekend at Homestead. When Saturday’s races is over, the Nationwide cars will be assimilated into the Welcome, N.C., shops of Richard Childress, who owns the Sprint Cup cars that Harvick drives. The trucks will be taken over by Eddie Sharp. In a recent interview with SPEED TV, DeLana Harvick said she’s comfortable with the decision to shut down KHI, but the move wasn’t made without a lot of thought. “It was a hard decision to make,” she said.

“Kevin and I both felt that in order to have any resemblance of a normal life, and to the point the Nationwide cars had progressed and the competition level, we felt like this was the right time and the right thing to do. “It has been all of our blood, sweat and tears for 10 years. It’s not just a five-day-a-week job. It’s a seven-day-a-week, 24-hour-a-day, 365days-a-year job. That’s no joke.” Kevin Harvick said in the same interview that he’s looking forward to a new chapter in his life. “I think as we move forward, I really am excited about everything that’s going on because, I think, as a driver, I get to do the same things I’ve been doing here at KHI, as the responsibility will be a lot less and allow me more time to focus and to do the things we want to do away from the race track,” he said. He said he’s been somewhat frustrated because the demands of his Cup career don’t leave enough time to focus on KHI as much as he’d like. “To be honest with you, the Cup stuff keeps you so busy with where the sponsorship of the world lays, the way the sport is and the way everything goes now, that you have to spend a lot of quality time making sure that the sponsors are getting everything they need,” he said. “I haven’t had a lot of time to spend doing the things I probably could have done at KHI … “It didn’t become a burden, but if I’m going to do it, I want to be able to be around it more than I was able to over the last year or so.”

7. Dale Earnhardt Jr. -102 (finished 24th) Like his Hendrick teammates, he was never a factor at Phoenix and was a lap or more down for much of the race. “We pitted there and got caught with the caution out there and lost a couple of laps and just never got a chance to get it back,” he said. 8. Kurt Busch -107 (finished 22nd) A strategy move put him in the lead late in the race, but his fuel tank ran dry and his car wouldn’t restart on pit road. Then he was penalized for speeding on pit road, a penalty he drew largely because his tachometer wasn’t working and he had no way to check his speed. “It was just an incredible turn of events,” he said. 9. Ryan Newman -107 (finished fifth) After a mostly disappointing Chase, he scored a solid top-five finish. “We’ve had some struggles here during the championship Chase on pit road, but to come back from what we did and start from where we did … is a good day,” he said. 10. Denny Hamlin -110 (finished 12th) His finish wasn’t spectacular but it was the fourth best among Chase drivers. “We did the best that we could with what we had,” he said. 11. Jeff Gordon -112 (finished 32nd) Brake problems plagued him at Phoenix,but he wasn’t that good, even at the test there. “We were fighting and battling, but then the brake problem happened and that pretty much ruined our day,” he said. 12. Kyle Busch -135 (finished 36th) Returning to the races after being parked for a week, he had to start from the rear because an engine Tee Shirts, Jerseys & of More change, then drove through the field to third place only to have another engine blow. “It’s certainly a tough few Outer Wear, Hats, & More weeks, and all we can do isUniforms look forward to next week at Homestead,” he said.

Kahne on points par with leaders

NOTEBOOK

Stats crunched prior to 3 finales NASCAR’s statisticians have crunched the numbers, and here’s what they’ve determined to be the clinch scenarios heading into this weekend’s season finales at Homestead-Miami Speedway. In Sprint Cup, the only way points leader Carl Edwards can be assured of the title is to win the Ford 400. Since Stewart has four race wins to Edwards’ one, he’d be the champion if the two wound up tied in points. Nationwide Series points leader Ricky Stenhouse Jr. needs to finish 37th or better, or 38th or better with at least one lap led; or 39th or better with most laps led at Homestead to defeat Elliott Sadler. In the car owner stand- Carl Edwards ings, Joe Gibb’s No. 18 (NASCAR photo) team leads Roush Fenway Racing’s No. 60 team by a single point, with the No. 60 holding the tie-breaker because of its eight wins. The No. 60 team would win the championship by gaining one point on the No. 18 in the Ford 300. In the Camping World Truck Series, Austin Dillon leads, with Johnny Sauter 20 points back in second place. James Buescher is third, 28 back. Dillon can win by finishing 16th or better; or 17th or better with at least one lap led; or 18th or better with the most laps led in Friday night’s Ford 200. Kevin Harvick Inc.’s No. 2 Chevrolet clinched the 2011 owners championship, its third, last week at Texas Motor Speedway.

Since the start of the 2011 Chase for the Sprint Cup, only one driver, Phoenix winner Kasey Kahne, has been able to come close to scoring the same number of points as championship leaders Carl Edwards and Tony Stewart. Kahne has scored 331 points in the past nine races, while Edwards and Stewart have 356 apiece. But Kahne isn’t a part of the Chase. He was 20th in the standings at the start of the Chase and has moved to 14th on the strength of six finishes of sixth or better in the past seven races, including the Phoenix win, a runner-up finish at Kansas and a third at Texas. He’s driving for the Red Bull team, which could be shut down after next week’s race, but he and crew chief Kenny Francis are moving to Hendrick Motorsports next year. He said his team, despite the uncertainty surrounding it, has built him some fast race cars. “I think it’s just the people,” he said. “They haven’t given up. They’re doing a great job. We’ve been able to stay focused.”

Yard Signs, Logo Design, Digital Printing “Maybe I made a mistake putting him in at the top, because he couldn’t practice,” Penske said of his decision to start Hornish in Cup, as rookie drivers no longer get extra practice, and no drivers can do private testing at tracks that host NASCAR races. “You’re going to see a lot of Hornish in the future.”

Wins by Roush Fenway drivers in the past seven Cup races at HomesteadMiami Speedway

SCREEN Crash ends titlePRINTING hope for Sadler EMBROIDERY Top-five finishes for Tony 0 PROMOTIONAL ITEMS Stewart in the past six Cup races at Homestead SIGNAGE A crash at Phoenix with Jason Leffler pretty much eliminated Elliott Sadler from title contention in the Nationwide Series. The crash dropped Sadler to 41 points behind leader Ricky Stenhouse Jr. heading into this week’s finale at Homestead. If recent trends continue, several drivers will start-and-park at Homestead, clinching the title for Stenhouse after 20 or so laps. The title would cap a remarkable turnaround for Stenhouse, whose career looked to be in jeopardy just a year ago because he had crashed so many cars.

Hornish scores Nationwide win After 141 NASCAR starts without a points-paying victory, Sam Hornish Jr. finally got his breakthrough win, in Saturday’s Nationwide Series race at Phoenix International Raceway. The former Indianapolis 500 winner and IndyCar champion dedicated his victory to his friend, the late Dan Wheldon, who died in a crash in the IndyCar finale at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Hornish, who came to NASCAR full time in 2008 in the Sprint Cup Series, is now running a partial Nationwide schedule and doing testing for all of car owner Roger Penske’s NASCAR teams.

The Conspirator Contributed Article Amber Rinehart

Star Rating: 4/5 It is often said that fact is stranger than fiction. The best stories are those that are not dreamt up by a writer, but lived by real life heroes and villains. Consider the films about World War II and the holocaust or about the Salem witch trials or the lives and deaths of great conquerors. These stories are not only amazing because of their plot, but because they really happened. A writer does not need to try to create a sense of realism in a story that IS real. The American Film Company is dedicated to creating high-budget, Hollywood films that are historically accurate and shed light on the amazing people and events of our history. Hollywood great, Robert Redford takes the helm, directing The American Film Company’s first feature, The Conspirator starring James McAvoy, Robin Wright, Tom Wilkinson and Kevin Kline. The Conspirator tells the story of Mary Surratt, the only female accused of conspiring to assassinate President Abraham Lincoln. Surratt, masterfully portrayed by Robin Wright, denies any affiliation with assassin John Wilkes Booth, other than allowing him to stay in her boarding house. This is enough evidence to undeniably tie her to the murder. James McAvoy plays the part of Fred Aiken, an idealistic and honest young war hero turned lawyer assigned to defend Surratt. Aiken, a northerner, believes Surratt to be guilty,

but is slowly exposed to the corruption and blind hatred of the court system. Amazingly at this time in history, a civilian facing a sentence of hanging was not guaranteed a fair trial by there peers and Surratt was tried by a military court composed of northern generals that are convinced of her guilt before the trial even begins. Even more amazing, is that at that time, the accused was not permitted to take the stand in their own defense. This combination of factors creates an amazing and powerful true story. The Conspirator debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2010 and had a very limited release after that. The film can now be found on the new release wall of any video rental store as well as any Redbox video rental machine. The high production value, beautiful set design, lighting, costuming and camera work, as well as fascinating story and wonderful acting blend together to create a powerful film that should not only be shown to every high school history class, but can also be enjoyed in the comfort of your own living room.

Thursday, November 17 Woodsongs Coffeehouse Radio Hour

Jeff Erickson: Jeff may be best known as the guitarist for 10,000 Maniacs. We will see, though, that there is more to Jeff than the masterful and unique guitar work he brings to that band. Jeff is a songwriter, a song stylist, and a fine singer in his own right. Having led the interesting project, Last Stop Willoughby, Jeff showed that his depth of musicality deserves attention devoted exclusively to it. We will get a first-hand, privileged look at just that on the November Woodsongs show. Cammy Enaharo: Cammy is a worthy ukulele player, a heart-capturing singer, and most of all, an original and deeply insightful songwriter. She writes touchingly and compellingly from the perspective of her youth; she is 20 years old. Her dedication to her craft is evident. Cammy’s recent summer break from college was spent attempting to support herself by busking on the street. She plays open mic nights, for friends, and anywhere she can find someone to listen. Woodsongs is proud to be able to showcase a young artist at this stage of her nascent career.

VSK EMPORIUM continued from page 6 you can find almost any item whether it be a tool, toy, glassware, old, used, or brand new. Many of the vendors bring items in weekly and several come in daily, always changing and updating. And, once a month, Bill Lucas spends an afternoon at the VSK Emporium appraising items brought in. Bill is a certified appraiser who donates his time and expertise to help others figure out the history of their treasure and what it is worth. Those having trouble finding a Christmas gift for that hard to buy for person, may find something at the Emporium. With six businesses under one roof, (Kit ‘N Kaboodle, The Flea market, The Creative Mind, Faded Elegance, Filomena’s Bakery and Cafe, and Glarner Group Productions) there are plenty of good reasons to make a trip out to Frewsburg to experience the VSK Emporium. 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 is the right choice to meet gift giving needs. We even have gift certificates available for that hard to buy for person. “Why go to the mall, when we have it all.” The thing that makes VSK Emporium unique and such a great place to visit is that you can spend the whole day browsing, shopping, meeting with friends over breakfast, lunch or just coffee and something sweet from the cafe. “Our jingle, written by Joe in the studio, says ‘Come spend the day at the VSK Emporium’,” said Kitty. VSK Emporium is located at 54 West Main Street in Frewsburg. The emporium is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday

Flavor of the Week – Filomena’s Bakery and Cafe By Dusten Rader Entertainment Editor

VSK Emporium in Frewsburg is a place where people can find gifts and feel nostalgic while exploring the massive collection of unique antiques and treasured moments. When guests feel a rumble in their stomach they can take a moment to stop by Filomena’s Bakery and Cafe to recharge. Owners Terri and James Wert decided to open the restaurant because they wanted to spend more time together as a family. “We have both had other jobs throughout our lives and we finally decided we wanted to open a family operation together,” said Terri. “It is fully a family operation because we don’t have any outside employees. My daughter and son both work here with my husband and I. So, we’re able to be around our family and that’s what we wanted.” Located adjacent to VSK Emporium in Frewsburg, Filomena’s Bakery and Cafe is a the perfect spot for homemade Located adjacent to VSK Emporium, Filomena’s Bakery breakfast, lunch or baked treats.

Poorman’s Recipebook: Italian Sausage

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. Italian Sausage 1 link Italian Sausage 1 roll 1 tsp. garlic powder 1 cup of onions and bell peppers 1 tsp. Olive oil

Fry Italian sausage in a frying pan. Baking is also an option. Whichever way you choose make sure it is fully cooked before consuming. When sausage is brown and fully cooked add onions, bell peppers, olive oil and garlic powder and saute on low heat. Toast roll and top

with sausage, onions and bell peppers. Submitted by: Dusten Rader Original Recipe from: Dusten Rader Italian sausage is great for any season. But, when it’s cold outside it doesn’t get much better than a sausage and onions with bell peppers. The garlic is almost a necessity. It adds to

the flavor of the meal significantly. Add other seasonings like basil, oregano, thyme, parsley or black pepper if you like more flavor. 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!

Woodsongs Coﬀeehouse Show: November 17 Contributed Article Ken Hardley

Dear Friends of Woodsongs, The turnout for the October Show with No Outlet (Markellis, Maul, and Haskell) and John Latini was outstanding. There is no doubt, these musicians surpassed the very high expectations we brought in to that event. Both in terms of musicality and pure entertainment, this show was a treat from start to finish. I had the good fortune to have dobro master, Kevin Maul, play the opener with me and the show just got better from there. It is now posted on www.wrfalp. com so whether you want to relive the evening or hear it for the first time, it’s there for you. The November Woodsongs Coffeehouse Show is almost upon us. This month‘s guests are Jeff Erickson and Cammy Enaharo.

Jeff Erickson is well known around the Jamestown music scene for his involvement in some of the most highlyrespected projects of the last 20 years. From the innovative band, “Zeta Cauliflower“, to his prestigious group, “The Crumbles”, and finally, in his role as the guitarist of “10,000 Maniacs”, Jeff has variously invented, written, organized, and restlessly explored this wonderful medium of music. He is a songwriter, a singer, a fine guitarist (both electric and acoustic), an innovator, a bandleader, a sideman, a collaborator, and a solo artist. While it is indisputable that Jeff ’s work was influenced by his friend, Rob Buck, the man he replaced in the Maniacs, there is no way to completely describe his style to people who have not heard it. We will have the privilege of getting a first-hand look at the depth of Jeff ’s musicality as a solo artist on this night.

I happened to be at Steve Piper’s Open Mic at the Flipside in Rochester, NY last spring when Cammy Enaharo, a strangerin-the-crowd, took the stage late one evening. One verse and one chorus into the first song, it was stunningly obvious that we were in the presence of something very special. This young woman is a worthy ukulele player, a heart-capturing singer, and most of all, an original and deeply insightful songwriter. Cammy writes touchingly and compellingly from the perspective of her youth; she is 19 years old. Her lyrics are strikingly visual, soaring with poetic imagery and playing on themes in a genuinely literary way. Her dedication to the 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. Wood-

songs is proud to be able to showcase a young artist at this stage of her nascent career. I can promise there has never been a show like the one we will present in November. This is one people will talk about for a long time. It’s going to be a great playback on the radio, but it’s not a show you’ll want to miss live. I’m happy to say our

live audience has truly become a community. It’s wonderful to see the familiar faces every month. Come and join the musical community! Be part of the live radio audience. This show is being recorded November 17 at the Labyrinth Press Company. 14 E Fourth St. Jamestown, NY. The show starts at 6:45. See you then!

Creative Arts of Women - Western New York (CAW WNY) invites women to submit work for consideration for its first juried exhibit of women’s art at the new 3rd On 3rd Gallery in Jamestown, New York. “We see so much talent in the women artists in our region,” said spokesperson Jennifer Schlick. “After last spring’s SWAN Day celebration, we’re ready to become more proactive in promoting the artwork of women.” SWAN Day, which stands for Support Women Artists Now, is an annual event celebrated on the last Saturday in March, Women’s History Month, and in the weeks surrounding that date. Now in its fourth year, SWAN Day was observed locally this spring when a small group of area women gathered at Infinity Visual and Performing Arts in downtown Jamestown to show and sell their artwork. An outgrowth of this event was

the decision of Arts Council for Chautauqua County Program Coordinator Len Barry to set aside time in their new 3rd on 3rd Gallery for a proper exhibit of women’s artwork. CAW WNY is issuing a call for work that will be displayed from February 11 to March 31, 2012. Applications are being accepted from women of all ages in any media, and artists from Western New York and Northwestern Pennsylvania are encouraged to apply. Accepted artists will be required to deliver their pieces in person. Schlick added, “During the exhibit, a series of lectures and/or workshops by creative women from many fields will take place in the gallery as well as at Infinity Center for Visual and Performing Arts.” Deadline for applications is midnight on December 30. Artists will be notified on January 9, 2012, of the curatorial committee’s decision. For more information and complete guidelines, click on “Announcements” at cawwny. wordpress.com.

Fredonia Opera House to Present Two Veteran Folk Acts Contributed Article Rick Davis

cil for am set The 1891 Fredonia Opera d on House will present a special hibit concert featuring two veteran folk music artists on Friday, November 18, at 8 p.m. Singer/ ll ayed Songwriter Garnet Rogers and h 31, folk duo Mustard’s Retreat will ng share the bill, each performing a set of original and beloved ll sts folk songs. nd Born in Hamilton, Ontario, a are to parents of Nova Scotian pted descent, Garnet Rogers spent de- many hours in front of the old floor model radio listening to . Grand Ole Opry broadcasts e and harmonizing with his ive brother, the late folk legend will Stan Rogers. Soon, Rogers well found himself playing the sual definitive 8-year-old’s version of “Desolation Row” on his ukulele. He quickly abandoned s that instrument to teach him. self flute, fiddle and guitar. Janual By 18, Garnet was on the road as a full-time working musician with brother Stan. Together they formed what has come to on be accepted as one of the most wny. influential duos in the history of North American folk music.

Folk music veteran Garnet Rogers headlines a special doublebill concert on Friday, November 18, at the 1891 Fredonia Opera House. The concert also features folk duo Mustard’s Retreat. Opera House Executive Director Rick Davis says the event offers “two great acts in one great concert!”

Garnet acted as producer and arranger for older brother Stan from 1973 to 1983, when Stan tragically died in a plane crash. Since then, Rogers has established himself as a formidable solo artist, hailed by the Boston Globe as a “charismatic performer and singer – one of the major talents of our time.” With his smooth, dark baritone, his incredible range and

thoughtful, dramatic phrasing, Rogers is widely considered by fans and critics alike to be one of the finest singers anywhere. Kicking off the evening will be the folk music duo Mustard’s Retreat, comprised of musicians David Tamulevich and Michael Hough. Celebrating 35 years performing as Mustard’s Retreat, Tamulevich and Hough pride themselves on a long career, a feat they credit to being focused on their audiences. Everything they do on stage is aimed at

pleasing, moving and engaging the audience. Whether simply singing their own gentle love songs and vivid ballads, telling tall tales or offering treasures from America’s vast traditional song bag, David and Michael always make a Mustard’s Retreat performance feel like it’s specifically designed for the people who have come to see them that day. Audiences sense this from the moment the duo takes the stage. Spike Barkin, who produces the prestigious Roots of American

Music Festival at NYC’s Lincoln Center, wrote to thank the guys for their “folk from the heart,” telling them it seemed like “you take your living room on the road with you and invite people in as friends.” David Siglin, of Ann Arbor’s legendary Ark Coffeehouse, where Mustard’s Retreat played their first songs together, says “in order to last there has to be more than just talent – you have to enjoy playing, enjoy audiences and enjoy being in front of them. Audiences go to (their) shows because they know they will be entertained.” This special evening of folk music is part of the Opera House’s Folk in Fredonia Music Series, which is graciously sponsored by the Gilman Family. Tickets are $15 ($13 for Opera House members). Additional support for the event comes from the United Arts Appeal of Chautauqua County. The 1891 Fredonia Opera House is a member-supported not-for-profit organization located in the Village of Fredonia Village Hall in downtown Fredonia. A complete schedule of events for the Opera House is available at www.fredopera.org.

American Express

Small Business Saturday 2011 Small Business Saturday, the easiest way to “make” $25, is back for it’s second year. Smack in between Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Small Business Saturday was American Express’s promotion in which you could get a $25 statement credit if you spent at least that much at a “small business” that day. There are various other business focused promotions associated with it, like $100 in free Facebook ads, but for consumers, the $25 is one of the easiest ways to benefit from having an American Express card.

To take advantage, you’ll need to register at the Small Business Saturday website once registration opens on November 1st. Last year, the promotion was limited to the first 100,000 to pre-register their card.

Christmas Shopping Do’s and Don’ts Christmas shopping do’s:

Christmas shopping don’ts:

1. Brand matters Shop at good quality stores. Christmas is a time to buy gifts for others, so you don’t want to buy cheap goods that will last only a few months. Look for durable items that will remind your recipient of your love throughout the coming year. 2. Stay safe If you’re buying online; be sure that the website has SSL technology. You definitely want your credit card information to stay secure. Further, if you don’t receive your purchased item, you can contest the charge. 3. Make a list One way to save money this Christmas would be to prepare a list well in advance. Don’t head out to the store only with your credit card in hand. Impulse shopping can keep you up at night worrying about bills! 4. Special wrapping Christmas gifts are more than just gifts. They reflect the sentiments of the giver. So save a little money to wrap up your gift in a special way. You can even add a customized note to each family member. 5. Discounts They can be found at almost every store. Make best use of them! Keep your eyes open for a good bargain. However, don’t compromise on quality!

1. Avoid weekends If you want to avoid bumping shoulders with every other shopper then go shopping on a weekday – preferably in the morning. Salespeople are a lot friendlier when they don’t have a crowd to handle. 2. Don’t limit your choice So you’ve made a list of items to be bought, but you can’t find one or two. What do you do? Plan for this in advance by writing a back up gift option on your list. This will save you a lot of time especially if you’re shopping for a large number of people. 3. Don’t lose receipts Save all the receipts from your Christmas shopping expedition. You may need it later, when your gift turns out to be faulty or has a missing part. Your gift recipient will be glad you can get a replacement. 4. Don’t wrap right away Check your item thoroughly before you thrown on the fancy wrapping paper. Also remember to remove the price tag and other purchase particulars. 5. Don’t wait Christmas shopping doesn’t need to be restricted to December. Shop when something catches your fancy. You can store it away for Christmas day!

Top 10 Shopping Trends For Christmas 2011 From mobile apps to Black Friday’s move to midnight, the 2011 holiday shopping scene will change dramatically. In a preview of the season, the National Retail Federation’s CEO Matt Shay and VP Ellen Davis offer 10 top shopping trends, taking into consideration the current uncertain economy, changes in shoppers’ spending habits and everyone’s love affair with technology. 1. (Not such) great expectations Holiday sales could rise just 2.8 percent his year to $466 billion. That’s about half of last year’s gains. Despite consumer skittishness and high unemployment, “The good news is that the third quarter GDP was stronger than expected and consumers contributed to that,” said Shay. 2. Online sales continue to grow “Nearly seven in ten online retailers expect their sales to grow at least 15 percent this holiday season,” said Davis. “There’s no question that the multi-channel shopper is the biggest opportunity for retailers.” 3. What have you done for me lately? “Today’s consumer has high expectations. They already assume retailers will be offering low prices or strong promotions, and they want to know what they’re going to get on top of that,” said Davis. It could be quality, value, convenience, service, shorter checkout lines, layaway or better-stocked shelves. 4. Shelves are leaner Back in 2008, retailers were caught unaware and many ended the season with loads of unsold goods. They’ve since pulled back. “Inventory levels are still very lean this year,” said Shay. “There could be shortages of the most popular products.”

5. You better shop around “During periods of consumer uncertainty, people are maniacal about shopping around to find the best deal,” said Davis. Shoppers will visit discounters, department stores, clothing shops, electronics stores, craft stores and grocery stores. “People won’t hesitate to buy toys at a grocery store or stocking stuffers at a wholesale club.” 6. One for you, one for me “Six in ten holiday shoppers have set aside money to make additional non-gift purchases for themselves this season,” said Davis. “The average person will spend $130 on these purchases, an alltime high and a 16 percent jump from last year.” The J. Crew website’s slogan: “to you, from you.” Some self-gifting is prompted by seasonal deals on everything from snow blowers to small appliances. 7. Luxury and practicality blend “The most popular items this year aren’t necessarily cheap, but they are appropriate to wear or use on a regular basis,” said Shay. That could mean a $200 Keurig coffeemaker or $400 watch. Forget about a seldom-used evening bag. 8. Black Friday moves to midnight The day after Thanksgiving has become “a competitive free-for-all among retailers eager to nab those first holiday shoppers,” Davis said. Last year the number of people who shopped at midnight tripled. This week Macy’s, Kohl’s and Target announced midnight openings this year for the first time. 9. Shoppers expect free shipping Retailers have a love/hate relationship with it. “After all, somebody has to pay for the 20,000 people that FedEx is hiring this holiday Continued on Page 11

Ask a Designer:

Early Prep For Holiday Decorating By MELISSA RAYWORTH For The Associated Press

Early November: We’ve arrived at the brief calm before the happy storm of holiday celebrating begins. We may be thinking about the gorgeous decorating we’ll do and the great parties we’ll throw, but we haven’t plunged into the work of it just yet. If you lay some groundwork now, however, before that crush of holiday gift shopping, cooking, baking and partying begins, you can make this year’s holiday decorating easier, and hopefully more spectacular, than ever. Clear and Clean Interior designer Betsy Burnham, founder of Burnham Design in Los Angeles, suggests clearing out small items now from the rooms you’ll be using for entertaining. “Clear off the surfaces, the tabletops,’’ she says, so that you’ll have room to add holiday-themed items next month. Put away things you won’t need during the holidays, then give your home an especially thorough cleaning. She suggests choosing a few extra projects, such as shampooing rugs or touching up paint around window frames, that can be done now to make your home brighter during the holidays. Think Seasonal, Versatile Celebrity designer Thom Filicia, who has been decorating the grand foyer at New York’s Radio City Music Hall for HGTV’s “Radio City Holidays,’’ says the weeks before Thanksgiving are the perfect time to start bringing out versatile items that can be used throughout the holiday season. Put out crystal and glass pieces for serving or decorating, along with any silver items and candleholders. With candleholders or tea light holders in place, he says, you can

fill them now with candles in fall colors; swap those for different candles as Christmas or Hanukkah approach; and finally switch in silver candles for New Year’s. If you’ve created that foundation of sparkling items, he says, “then it’s really easy to just add those one or two little holiday items that really sort of sell the holiday that you’re embracing at that time.’’ Designer Brian Patrick Flynn, founder of decordemon.com, takes the same approach: “Find things that are not necessarily 100 percent aimed toward the holidays,’’ he says, “and get them out.’’ “If I’m at a clients’ place and I look in the garage and find a bunch of cool bronze accessories, that’s the perfect thing to put out now. You probably have all these things that have a holiday feel, but they’re not technically ‘holiday’ pieces.’’ Begin Adding Color Flynn suggests adding items, anything from throw pillows and tablecloths to picture frames and flower vases, in colors you’ll want to use throughout the holidays. If you bring out items that are hunter green and brown in early November, he says, they can stay in place through the Christmas season. Another favorite palette of Flynn’s that can be used from now until New Year’s: turquoise with silver and gold. It’s festive, he says, without being specific to any one holiday. Include Natural Items Burnham suggests decorating now with natural items like pine branches, which look great all winter. Flynn agrees: “There’s something about using those organic textures at the holidays, the branches and even things like burlap and other natural textures.’’ Continued on Page 11

Top 10 Shopping... Continued from Page 8 season,” Davis said. “A record 92.5 percent of online retailers will offer free shipping his holiday season.” 10. There’s an app for that “Half of Americans with smartphones will use their devices for holiday shopping this year,”

said Davis. Phones will be used to research products, compare prices, find store hours and redeem coupons. “Only 16 percent will actually use their phones to make purchases,” she said. source: www.postcrescent.com

Holiday Decorating, Continued from Page 9 Filicia suggests starting now with gourds and pumpkins on a dining table, then subbing those out with pinecones after Thanksgiving. These items can be displayed on the same glass tray or in the same silver bowl, making the switch simple.

“Having that foundation not only makes the table look great or the house feel warm and inviting,’’ he says, “but it makes entertaining a lot easier, when you know you have those pieces ready to go.’’

Preserve Holiday Tradition With Gifts From Garden

By DEAN FOSDICK For The Associated Press

For Daniel Gasteiger, the holiday season begins in May when the rhubarb and strawberries ripen. That’s when he starts putting foods by for the many people on his gift list. The process continues with cherries, tomatoes, sweet corn, cucumbers, apples, melons and a variety of successive garden crops. “If you don’t deal with them when they’re fresh, you’re not preserving them,’’ said Gasteiger, author of “Yes, You Can! And Freeze and Dry It, Too’’ (Cool Springs Press). “Then they can sit on a shelf until wrapped as presents for neighbors, teachers and others.’’ Hear the word “preserving’’ and people generally think canning or freezing, said Gasteiger, of Lewisburg, Pa. But there also is dehydrating, sugaring, fermenting, quick pickling, smoking, salting and cold storage. “The way we go about it hasn’t changed much over the years, but the technology is better,’’ he said. All food preservation techniques

delay or stop spoilage while sealing in flavor and nutritional value. Yet each does something different. In some cases, new foods are even created - raisins from dried grapes, for example. Here is a sampling of the most common methods and how they compare: Canning: preserves fruits and vegetables, jams and jellies, pickles, relishes and meats so they can be stored for months without refrigeration. Canning cooks food, however, changing its makeup and flavor. Freezing: leaves you with fresher flavors but transforms textures. “Produce tends to become mushy,’’ Gasteiger said. Dehydrating: gives fresh foods remarkable longevity, with vegetables rehydrating especially well for cooking. “Having a dedicated dehydrator can reduce the amount of produce you waste,’’ he said. Think bananas, or those fruit and vegetable remnants that ripen so quickly in the kitchen. Continued on Page 23

Tips to Help Prevent Overspending This Year Here are some tips to prevent overspending and bursting your pockets this Christmas: Have a list – List the people who you are going to buy a Christmas gift for. This is a good place to start as the exercise will help you see the ‘magnitude’ of the shopping you need to do. Here are some of the people who you will probably include in this list: Family. Close friends. Colleagues. Gift exchanges for Christmas parties. Think of a gift – For each person in the list, think of a suitable gift that you will like to buy for him/her. If you are not very sure at this point, have a few potential items listed so that you at least have something in mind when you are shopping. Start a budget – For each gift, estimate how much you would spend on that gift. Total the prices for all the gifts you have listed and that’ll be your budget. If you have a few possible items listed for one person, use the price of the most expensive item to calculating the budget. You want to make sure you are prepared for the worst case scenario. Take a look at the total. Is this budget affordable? If not, you may have to review step 2 and 3 until you have a final budget that you are comfortable with. Do online research – A good way to check if your budget is realistic is to do some online research before you actually head down to the mall. Not only is this a good way to gather gift ideas and market rates, it also saves you time and energy you would waste going to the crowded mall simply for research purpose. Here are some great sites to start you off: Amazon.com – the grandfather

of online shopping for books, electronics, CD/DVD for music and movies. Now, it even includes apparel, jewelry, tools and sports gears. Ikea.com – great ideas for cheap home furnishing gifts. Overstock.com – Covers a wide range of gift ideas, and offers gifts by budget ranges from under $25 to above $100 (only US shipping destinations). Bizrate.com – Great site for price research as it aggregates catalogues from many online retailers into one site. When making actual online purchase, you will be redirected to the online retailer’s site. Do your shopping – Here’s where the real action starts. Get down to the shopping mall or go to online stores to do your shopping. Retailers like to run promotions during the Christmas season to encourage consumer spending. At the malls, be prepared to be tempted by irresistible offers and promotions. Having the shopping list and budget in hand will certainly help you stay focused. You are less likely to get distracted into opportunistic shopping which will result in you bursting your pockets. Review actual spending against budget – For each actual purchase that you make, update your budget with the actual money spent. If you have burst your budget on some items, then you’ll have to lower the spending on other items to make up for the differences. Likewise, if you make some savings on certain items, then you’ll have more slack to play with on other items. Keep doing this for the entire shopping list and you will be able to constantly track your actual spending against your budget. This is vitally important to help you keep within your shopping budget.

Safety Tips for Shopping Online Shopping online for holiday gifts is both easy and exciting. You can find all kinds of unique gifts on the Internet that you simply would not be able to find at your local stores. There are also many deals to be had when you shop online. Not to mention the added convenience of being able to ship your gift right to the people on your list rather than dealing with long lines at the post office and the hassles of wrapping a gift for shipping yourself. For all of the advantages that shopping online presents, there are still some very real disadvantages that keep thousands off of their computers. This is the threat that online shopping is not safe. It is true that there are dishonest people out there who will be looking to take advantage of you if you give them the chance. So, make sure that you follow these safety tips for online Christmas shopping: 1.Use a secure server Before entering any kind of personal or credit card information you need to make sure that the server you are using is secure. This entails looking at the address in the address bar. If it starts with

https (not http) that is one sign that you are secure. Another sign of security is a closed padlock (you can also make sure that this padlock is also on your status bar). You should also make sure that your browser is a newer version so that the information that you are both sending and receiving is secure. 2.Go with a name you trust Big name stores carry with them a reputation for dependability. Small operations could be here today and gone tomorrow. Before making a purchase from a smaller company, make sure that you have working contact numbers, some sort of return policy, and that the company does not have a history of complaints filed with the Better Business Bureau. 3.Don’t use debit cards to shop online When you use a debit card online you are not protected under the Fair Credit Billing Act. This act protects those whose credit card is used unlawfully and only holds the owner liable for $50. A debit Continued on Page 15

Online Shopping, Continued from Page 14 card transaction has no such protection and you could be out all of the money that is stolen from you. 4.Print it out In the case that an Internet purchase goes sour, you are going to need some evidence to prove your story. You should always print out your order, the return policy, company information, specific product information and warranty details. 5.Compare prices Have you ever heard the phrase “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.” Well, this is especially true with online shopping. If a price is too low it is good to be suspicious. Some fraudulent companies use what is called a “bait and switch deal” where the low price is the bait but then what you get is a switch from what you thought you were paying for. It is a common practice among bad e-retailers to do this

because of the ease that they have in misrepresenting through misleading descriptions and pictures. 6.Call it in Most Internet companies are happy to take an order over the phone if you are not comfortable entering your credit card information online. Never send a check, or even worse, cash to a retailer! Using a credit card is far less dangerous even if something were to go wrong. 7.Create a secure password Make sure your account information is safe when you do business online this Christmas and all year by creating a password that is secure. A password needs to be case sensitive, have numbers and letters, and be difficult for a thief to guess. One suggestion is to never use a password that can be found in the dictionary.

Books For The Traveler Holiday Gift Suggestions By BETH J. HARPAZ AP Travel Editor

NEW YORK (AP) Is there an avid traveler on your gift list? Or even someone who doesn’t go too far from home, but simply loves reading about faraway places and other cultures? Maybe you have a friend or loved one who might enjoy spending a winter’s day gazing at pictures of places they love or long to see. Books with a travel theme, whether practical, beautiful, inspirational or just a good read, make a good holiday gift. Here are a few ideas and recommendations. Pauline Frommer, the travel book writer and founding editor of Frommers.com, lists “MapHead,’’ by Ken Jennings (Scribner, $25) as one of her recent favorites. Jennings, the legendary “Jeopardy!’’ winner, is “a very witty, insightful writer and has written an entertaining and educational book about maps and the geeks who obsess over them,’’ Frommer said. City Secrets, a new series of small hardcovers for discriminating travelers, has new guides out this year for London ($20), Rome ($20) and Florence/Venice ($15), with City Secrets Manhattan ($20) due in late November. “Remarkable contributors, writers, artists, curators, and others, reveal their favorite strolls, hidden gardens, buildings, shops, and restaurants,’’ is how Pat Carrier, owner of the Globe Corner Book Store in Brookline Village, Massachusetts, describes the series. Other suggestions from Globe Corner, http://www.globecorner. com, include “City: A User’s Guide to the Past, Present, and Future of Urban Life’’ by P.D. Smith (Bloomsbury, $40), which Carrier describes as a collection of essays about urban life on everything from skyscrapers and shantytowns to street food and skateboarding, as well as two cookbooks with a strong sense of place, “Mourad: New Moroccan,’’ by Mourad Lahlou (Artisan, $40) and “Saraban:

A Chef’s Journey Through Persia’’ by Greg and Lucy Malouf (Hardie Grant Books, $60). Lonely Planet has published its first series for children, Not For Parents books on Paris, London, Rome and New York. The $15 paperbacks offer curious kids cartoons, photos and drawings packed with tidbits on local history, geography, the arts and pop culture. “Not For Parents: Paris, Everything You Ever Wanted To Know,’’ for example, mentions everything from crepes and the origins of plaster of Paris to a look at Deyrolle, a bizarre showcase for taxidermied animals. Lonely Planet is also offering a version of “The Travel Book’’ for kids ($20) subtitled “Cool Stuff to Know About Every Country in the World.’’ Lonely Planet’s new books for grown-ups include “Great Journeys’’ ($40), a coffee-table book about “the world’s most spectacular routes,’’ from the trail to Peru’s Machu Picchu to America’s classic Route 66, and a collection of stories by celebrities called “Lights, Camera ... Travel!’’ ($15) including Brooke Shield’s tale of her wintertime visit to the Arctic. The staff of Distant Lands, a travel bookstore in Pasadena, California, http://www.distantlands.com/, is recommending Lonely Planet’s “1000 Ultimate Sights’’ ($23) as the “quirkiest’’ of LP’s new travel must-see books. “If you like golden things, for example, there’s a section on `Golden Greats,’ encompassing such attractions as the Golden Buddha in Bangkok, the Golden Mummies in Egypt’s Western Desert, and Dawson City’s Bonanza Creek,’’ said Distant Land’s Susan Hickman. “Other favorite topics include `Most Eye-Opening Workplaces’ and `Most Astounding Ego Trips,’’’ from Versailles in France to a 65-foot-tall monument to Continued on Page 19

Holiday Star StarNewsDaily.com • 366.9200 (Dunkirk/Fredonia) • 338.0030 (Jamestown)

Holiday Books, Continued from Page 18 North Korea’s Kim Il Sung. If you’re feeling generous toward your favorite Francophile, Distant Lands recommends “Monumental Paris’’ by Herve Champollion and Aude de Tocqueville (Vendome, $150). Hickman says the “panoramic photos bring you to many of Paris’ hidden corners ... gardens, canals, parks, and secret waterways that make Paris one of Europe’s most endlessly fascinating and enchanting cities.’’ Also on Distant Lands’ list: Braun & Hogenberg’s “Cities of the World: Complete Edition of the Colour Plates of 1572-1617’’ (Taschen, $70), which offers snapshots of how people lived in cities in Europe, Africa, Asia and Central America in drawings and text. Patricia Schultz is out with a new edition of the ultimate bucket-list, “1,000 Places to See Before You Die’’ (Workman, $20). This version adds 200 new entries, including countries not in the original 2003 edition, like Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Nicaragua, Qatar and Mozambique, plus budgetconscious suggestions for lodging and food. An interactive companion iPad app for “1,000 Places’’ is scheduled for release Nov. 22, offering photos, maps and a way to log your past and future travels. The full app is free with a code included on the first stickered printing of the book; without the book, you can download the app for free with a preview of 99 places or pay $10 for full content. “America’s Great Railroad Stations’’ (Viking Studio, $40) is the perfect gift for train buffs, a coffee-table book with 250 photographs by Roger Straus III (plus vintage black-and-white pictures) and text by Ed Breslin and Hugh Van Dusen. Organized by region, the book tells the story of the role these buildings played in the lives of the people and cities they served, from Beaux Arts monuments in New York and Washington to adobe structures in the Southwest, from the Union Pacific to Michigan Central.

Another coffee-table beauty is “The World’s Must-See Places: A Look Inside More Than 100 Magnificent Buildings and Monuments’’ (DK Eyewitness Travel Guides, $25) with photos and 3-D cutaways and diagrams of places like Beijing’s Forbidden City, Mexico’s Chichen Itza and Jerusalem’s Dome of the Rock. “The Scattered Tribe: Traveling the Diaspora from Cuba to India to Tahiti & Beyond’’ (Globe Pequot Press, $18) is Ben G. Frank’s account of Jewish communities in a handful of places, from a relatively new synagogue in Tahiti that serves expats and tourists to the nearly gone remnants of North Africa’s once-thriving Jewish communities. The book is by no means an exhaustive survey of Jews around the world, Vietnam, India and Burma are there, but not China, for example, but the snapshots offered will be of interest to readers with a passion for Jewish history. Manhattan’s High Line, the unique linear park built 30 feet off the ground on an old rail line, has quickly become one of the city’s most popular tourist attractions. A new book is out for devoted fans: “High Line: The Inside Story of New York City’s Park in the Sky’’ (Farrar, Strauss & Giroux, $30) by Joshua David and Robert Hammond, cofounders of Friends of the High Line. The first half is a written conversation alternating between the two authors about their discovery of the old rail line and how they managed to shepherd it against all odds through city bureaucracy from a decaying dinosaur to a vibrant public space. The second half is a collection of photos, both historic and recent, showing the High Line’s history and transformation. Finally, Travel + Leisure is out with lovely photos and engaging text in “Europe: The Places We Love,’’ $30, from the “Sweet Life in Capri,’’ to “Secret Villages’’ like Norcia, Italy, and Marvao, Portugal.

Holiday Shopping Tips Whether you’re shopping for your Christmas gifts ahead of time or doing some last-minute shopping, you’ll find some of these ideas helpful. Avoid the crowds, spend less money, and find Christmas gifts that everyone will really appreciate. Shop Online Almost every major retailer and specialty store has a website and offers online shopping. If you’re familiar with the quality of the products of the company, go for it. You can take care of all your shopping on one or two sites and find something for everyone. Books, plants, small appliances, toys, and clothing are easy to find. Most companies will gift wrap your purchase, add a card with your personal greeting, and send it in time for Christmas. Be sure to confirm shipping times and options. If you need specific information about items, use the store’s customer service department and call. Buy in Bulk For work colleagues, teachers, neighbors, or a group of friends that you give gifts to, consider giving everyone the same item. It can be a yummy food gift, a seasonal decoration, a favorite book you’ve just read, or some piece of apparel. You may feel awkward doing this. If so, get several things and give one to an individual in each group. Then they won’t know that you’ve bought several of the same gift. I like to do this sort of shopping just after Christmas, when bargains are everywhere. I find something I really like, count my numbers, and buy one for everyone. If the items come wrapped, be sure to mark the packages so you don’t forget what’s in them and who they’re for. Store the gifts in a safe, weather-proof closet until the next Christmas. Add to Someone’s Collection Christmas is a wonderful time to

add to a newlywed’s set of dishes or a collector’s menagerie. You can buy the gift any time of year, pack it up, and have it ready when Christmas comes. If you’re looking for something unique or hard-tofind, contact antique dealers or retailers in your community and ask them to call you throughout the year when they get the item. An Evening Out Visit your local movie theater or concert hall and purchase a pair of tickets to an upcoming big event. If you have a group of friends you socialize with, consider buying a ticket for each one and yourself. You’ll be able to spend time together and you’ll be giving everyone a gift at one time. Personalized Paper Everyone loves to see their name on things, even if it’s just paper. Experiment and play on your computer to create a personalized letterhead for people on your list. (My name, Coral, is hard to find anywhere, so a personalized gift is really special!) Print out your work and have it copied onto notepads, envelopes, beautiful stationery, or business papers. One-of-a-Kind Gift Certificates For a gift that lasts long past Christmas, plan to share a lunch, tea, afternoon, shopping spree, day skiing, lesson on knitting, day of decorating, drive to the beach or mountains, or walk in the park with someone you love to be with. Create a personal and unique gift card that they can redeem with you for the occasion.

Fermenting: Submerging vegetables in saltwater brine produces lactic acid, which is a food preservative. But: “Vegetables soften and develop a tangy flavor that some people don’t care for,’’ Gasteiger said.

They will remain fresh for hes months in a dark, dry environment.

Gasteiger said. Interest in home canning products has risen 35 percent over the past three years, said Lauren DevineHager, a product research and testkitchen analyst with Jarden Home Brands, which manufactures the classic Ball home canning Mason jars. “The face of canning is changing,’’ she said. “It’s not driven by grandmothers in rural settings anymore. It’s becoming especially popular among women (ages) 27 to 45 in urban and suburban areas. They want to enjoy it all year long.’’ Few crafts offer as much payback as food preservation. It saves money, encourages creativity and puts a quality product on the family table, Gasteiger said. Small batches of preserves done up in decorative jars and wrapped in ribbons make tasteful and inexpensive holiday gifts. “There’s also an ecological component,’’ Gasteiger said. “I’m gradually replacing my lawn with edibles.’’

Wal-Mart To Offer Holiday Deals Thanksgiving Night Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) Wal-Mart Stores Inc. will be kicking off the oﬃcial start to the holiday shopping season with special deals starting on Thanksgiving night. It’s the latest retailer to woo crowds earlier than last year in a bid to get a jump on the competition. The world’s largest retailer said that it will be offering discounts on toys, home accessories and clothing starting at 10 p.m. on Thanksgiving. That will be followed by midnight deals on electronics. Starting at 8 a.m. on the day after the holiday, it will expand the specials for the entire family that will run through the weekend. Bentonville, Ark.-based Wal-Mart, whose super centers already operate around the clock, opened most of its other stores by midnight Thanksgiving evening last year and wooed shoppers with

holiday deals. “Our customers told us they would rather stay up late to shop than get up early, so we’re going to hold special events on Thanksgiving and Black Friday,’’ said Duncan MacNaughton, chief merchandising oﬃcer at Wal-Mart’s U.S. division, in a statement. Wal-Mart’s plans follow recent announcements from Best Buy Co., Macy’s Inc., Target Corp. and Kohl’s Corp., all of which are opening at midnight after Thanksgiving for the first time. Gap Inc., which operates Banana Republic, Old Navy and its namesake stores, said on Tuesday that it plans to open nearly 1,000 stores across all its brands on Thanksgiving in the U.S. That’s about 10 percent more than a year ago, according to Louise Callagy, Gap spokeswoman.

Time for holiday cookies with Rocco DiSpirito By ROCCO DiSPIRITO For The Associated Press

Editors Note: ‘Now Eat This!’ by Rocco DiSpirito is a weekly column dedicated to healthy versions of the foods we love. The holidays are here... and my bathroom scale is getting nervous. Packing on pounds used to be one of my holiday traditions. That is, it was until I figured out how to put certain holiday foods on a diet. And that is the trick to navigating the holidays in a way that lets you enjoy yourself without scaring your scale. Holiday cookies are a great example. One typical sugar cookie can weigh in with as many as 150 calories. For perspective, you’d have to shovel snow for 30 minutes to

work off a single cookie! And who can stop at just one cookie? When you put holiday cookies on a diet, it’s not just a matter of swapping out all the sugar with artificial sweeteners. In baking cookies, sugar does a lot more than sweeten. It adds volume and it caramelizes. It also makes your cookies moist. Artificial sweeteners can’t do that. In this recipe, I’ve opted for a natural sugar, palm sugar (also called coconut sugar). Resembling brown sugar, it’s made from the sap of palm trees. Palm sugar contains tiny amounts of calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, riboflavin and thiamin, as well as trace amounts of protein. It’s widely available in international and natural foods stores. For a punch of crunch, the flour Continued on Page 26

1/8 teaspoon each ground ginger, cloves and nutmeg 1 unbaked pastry shell (9 inches) Whipped cream, optional Directions In a large bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. Whisk in salt and spices until well blended. Pour into pastry shell. Bake at 400° for 50-55 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.

Apricot Brown Sugar Ham Perfect for Christmas Dinner Ingredients 1 (10 pound) fully-cooked spiral cut ham 2/3 cup brown sugar 1/3 cup apricot jam 1 teaspoon dry mustard powder Directions Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). Place the ham cut side down onto a sheet of aluminum foil. I like to put the shiny side up. Mix together

the brown sugar, apricot jam and mustard powder in a small bowl. Brush onto the ham using a pastry or barbeque brush. Reserve any leftover glaze. Enclose the foil around the ham and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast for 2 hours in the preheated oven, or if you ham is a different size, figure 14 minutes per pound. Apply the remaining glaze 20 minutes before the ham is done. Source: allrecipes.com

Holiday... Continued from Page 24 base is whole-wheat pastry flour. And there’s virtually no fat in these cookies. You won’t miss it, thanks to a blend of sweet potato and egg whites, which help stretch the butter. And since it is the holidays, we can’t leave off the icing (made healthy with fat-free cream cheese). The result? A typical spice cookie can have 220 calories and 12 grams of fat. Mine has just 2 grams of fat and 55 calories. Now that is something to feel festive about! TIPS: -For best results, bake these cookies on the oven’s upper rack. -For even baking, use clean baking sheets. Brown or burned sheets will affect the browning of the cookies. -If you prefer, use ground cinnamon instead of the nutmeg and cloves. ___ HEALTHY HOLIDAY SPICE COOKIES Start to finish: 30 minutes Makes 12 cookies 2 tablespoons butter, softened 2 tablespoons unrefined palm sugar or jaggery 3 packets stevia sweetener powder 1/4 teaspoon baking powder 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg Pinch ground cloves 2 tablespoons pureed cooked, peeled sweet potato 2 tablespoons liquid egg white 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided 1/2 cup whole-wheat pastry flour 1 tablespoon flax seed meal 2 tablespoons fat-free cream cheese, softened Heat the oven to 375 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment

paper. In a medium bowl, combine the butter, palm sugar, 2 packets of the stevia, the baking powder, nutmeg and cloves. Mix until well combined. Add the sweet potato, egg white and 1 teaspoon of the vanilla, then mix until combined. Beat in the flour and flax seed meal. Shape the dough into a round, flat disk. Place the disk between 2 sheets of waxed paper. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough to 1/8-inch thick. Place the dough on a baking sheet and place in the freezer for about 10 minutes, or until the dough is very firm. Remove the dough from the freezer and peel off the top sheet of paper. Use 2 1/2- to 3-inch cookie cutters to cut out 12 cookies. If necessary, place the dough back in the freezer after making the cutouts. This will help the dough firm back up, making it easier to transfer the cutouts from the paper to the prepared baking sheet. Place the dough cutouts on the parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Bake for 7 to 8 minutes, or until the tops are just dry and edges are just starting to brown. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool. To make the frosting, in a small bowl combine the cream cheese, the remaining packet of stevia and the remaining 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Whisk until smooth. Spoon the icing into a piping bag fitted with a small open tip. Decorate the cooled cookies with the icing.
