Resolving to Change
New Year brings normal resolutions with incentive to stick to it By Mallory Diefenbach Star News Writer
A new year means a new start. It is an opportunity to wipe the slate clean and become a better person. Many people take this opportunity to make resolutions; to do this or not to do that. One of the most popular resolutions is to become more fit and healthy. There are people who can take the bull by the horns and exercise on their own. However for the people who need some extra help, Darwin’s Health Club in Fredonia offers a perfect solution. For those who are serious about getting healthier but need some help, the best choice would be to get a personal trainer. A personal trainer gathers an individual’s medical history and goals and creates a program based on the individual’s needs. They also provide motivation and feedback. “Depending on a person’s information, that depends on where we start,” said Anibal Lopez, a personal trainer at Darwin’s Health Club. “But the most important thing is starting. It’s making that commitment.” Over the course of time, it is not uncommon for people to stop keeping up their New Year Resolution. The lack of change can be frustrating and as a result some people just give up. “[When you] do something your body isn’t used to, it has to change to deal with the stimulus,” explains Lo-
pez. What this means is even though if a person changes their diet and exercise routines, the effects wouldn’t be instantaneous. However when the body does adjust to the new stimulus, the effects can be felt. “You’re not just stronger, but you can move better,” said Lopez. “The aches and pains aren’t as much anymore because your body will be able to
handle those chronic pains a lot easier. And then in about six months you should begin a body transformation.” For those who are looking for results in a month should look out for the smaller changes such as an increase in strength and their body becoming accustomed to their workout routine.
A personal trainer’s rates depends on a person’s level of commitment. For 12 per hour sessions, three times a week its $35 an hour. For 24 sessions per hour, three times a week for two months the cost is $30 an hour. For 48 sessions, a few times a week for four months its $25 an hour. Basically the greater the commitment, the less the cost.
“Quite A Family Affair”
Inside This Week
Sleigh Rides Are Back at Chautauqua Institution Saturdays and Sundays through February 26 By Patricia Pihl Star Staff Writer
Within the picturesque Victorian setting of Chautauqua Institution, the draft horses have been harnessed for another season. The sleigh rides are back, delighting riders with a nostalgic trip around the grounds, complete with the sounds of sleigh bells and sight of magnificent horses. Riders could easily feel they have been transported to a simpler time of simple pleasures. Last Saturday, the rides began for the usual eight week season in robust fashion with about 80 showing up for the opening of the event. Ed Trisket, president of the Stateline Draft Horse Club has been organizing the sleigh rides at the Institution for about 32 years and calls it “quite a family affair,” as mainstays of the ridesparents and their children-enjoy the sites around the national historic landmark. Accounting for last week’s high turnout, Trisket says, “There were a lot of people in Chautauqua for Christmas and the New Year,” but adds that while the rides are popular with visitors from such places as Pittsburg and Cleveland, they are equally enjoyed among locals. Trisket says he usually has the best turnout when the weather is the coldest. This year an additional route has been added around the northern

section of the grounds, with two teams departing and returning to the bookstore every 30 to 40 minutes. Along the narrated tour popular landmarks are cited including the former Packard estate, the Antheneum Hotel, the octogon house, the Miller Bell Tower as well as the homes of the famous and noteworthy, such as NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. On occasion, there have been requests for private rides, which he says, “Have usually ended in a marriage proposal.”
On Sunday, January 15, the Currier and Ives Sleigh Rally, a “friendly horse drawn sleigh driving competition” will begin at 10 a.m on the grounds in the South parking lot. The competition includes draft, light horses, ponies, small equines, and mules and donkeys. On the day of the rally, tickets for sleigh rides will be sold at the market gate entrance where sleighs will be picking up passengers. Proceeds from the event will benefit the horse trail development and is supported
by the Lou Eibl Corral and the Cattaraugus and Chautauqua Chapter of the NYS Horse Council. For more information on the rally contact Carol Lorenc at (716) 962-3412, or visit lorencfoxefarm@netsync.net.

Tax Tips
Parents for Parents Support Group to Meet
Professional information on filing your tax returns in 2012 By Mallory Diefenbach Star News Writer
With the end of 2011, people are rushing to file their taxes for the year. However, there are some new changes which people should know about. Verna Ellings, the owner of Elling Tax Consultants, has explained a great variety of changes which tax payers should be made aware of when filing their taxes: Advanced payment for income credit is no longer available. IRS announced that approximately 275,000 charitable organizations have lost their tax exempt status. Contributions to these organizations are generally not tax deductable as a charitable contribution. Contributions made prior to the tax exempt status remain permissible. To see what charities have had their tax exempt status revoked, visit www.irs.gov/charities Taxes are due April 17, 2012. If a tax returner prepares 11 or more individual returns in 2012, they will be required to return them electronically. Making work pay credit, which was a maximum up to $400 for individuals and $800 for married couples, is no longer allowed for 2011. Health account medical expenses for FSAs, HSAs, HRAs and archer MSAs, the cost for over the counter medicines may not be reimbursed with excludable income through the health FSAs, HSAs, HRAs and archer MSAs unless the medicine is proscribed by a physician. When a business receives money from a merchant card or third party network, payment will now be reported to the IRS on a 10 99 K. There is a new IP pin to help prevent identity theft; the IRS will issue tax payers IP pin numbers to allow a legitimate tax payers return to bypass the identity theft filter, prevent
fraudulent returns from being processed and minimize tax payer burden associated with potential delays caused when a return fails one or more of the identity theft filters. If a tax payer has received one of the IP pins, they are supposed to put it on their return on page two next to their spouse’s occupation. This may be a trial thing, so not everyone may have an IP pin number. The residential energy credit for non-business was extended through Dec. 31, 2011. Social Security will no longer be sending out statements what you made during your work life and an estimate of what you would get at retirement. To find out this information, a person must contact Social Security. The American tax payer can now deduct in a current year as start up expenses if they started a new business. For start up expenses they can only deduct $5,000 instead of $10,000. It stays out dollar for dollar for the total amount start up cost if they exceed $50,000. Any remaining cost which cannot be deducted currently are amortized over 180 months. In 2011 there is a new voluntary classification settlement program which permits eligible tax payers to reclassify workers as employees for future tax periods with no penalties for not treating their workers as employees. Employers may be eligible for Returning Heroes tax credit up to $560 per employee if they hire a veteran of the US army who has been unemployed for
StarNewsDaily.com • 366.9200 (Dunkirk/Fredonia) • 338.0030 (Jamestown)
six months or more. Employers that hire veterans that have been unemployed more than four weeks, but less than six months, may qualify for a credit up to $240 per employee. Employers that hire a veteran who has a service connected disability who has been unemployed for six months or more may qualify for a Wounded Warrior tax credit up to $9,600. In addition, Ellings has laid out the current standard mileage rates for 2011. Business Mileage Rate: Before 7/1 it is 51 cents a mile, any mileage after 6/30 is 55.5 cents a mile. Charitable Mileage Rate: 14 cents a mile for the whole year. Medical and Moving Mileage Rate: Before 7/1 it is 19 cents a mile, and after 6/30 its 23.5 cents a mile. The standard deduction this year for single or married filing separately is $5,800, and the standard deduction for married filing jointly or qualified widows is $11,600. Head of consul is $8,500. Verna Ellings is a retired IRS agent and a current tax consultant. She owns her own business called Elling Tax Consultants located in Forestville. She helps with tax returns and people who owe taxes. For those who are interested and want more information, you can visit her website at www. ellingtax.com or call her at 716-934-0550 or toll free at 888-527-6760.

Rise and shine on a crisp December morning. Radiant-heated floors bring warmth to feet and body. Outside it’s 20 degrees. I descend the stairway to the kitchen where a cup of hot coffee prepared by a programmable coffeemaker is ready and waiting. Frozen waffles are quickly warmed for a satisfying start to the day. After a hot shower, I dress in clothing purchased online and delivered to my doorstep. Ready for the day, I hop in the car—heated seat making for a comfy drive to work. Along the way, I get behind a school bus that stops at each driveway to pick up young passengers, who gaze, seemingly entranced, at handheld electronics—texting, gaming, perhaps just browsing. And so the day begins. I stop and ponder. What if I could step back in time? Well, that’s another story. Rise and shine on a crisp December morning. Bundle up to go outside to gather wood—need to stoke the fire to take the penetrating chill from the room and begin preparations for a hearty breakfast. I’ll use the staples— cornmeal and sugar purchased at the general store—to make some Johnnycakes. No bath today—that’s reserved for Sunday. I’m chilly in my homespun dress, which I made last summer from a bolt of fabric purchased, like the kitchen staples, at the general store. I’m diverted from my morning chores by the sound of children making their way to school, laughing and horsing around. It’s a long trek, but the shared company belies the distance…. Can you imagine living long ago? A visit to the Yorker Museum in Sherman, New York, offers

a glimpse at life in another era. Birthed in 1949 through the efforts and enthusiasm of five female students under the guidance of seventh grade social studies teacher Genevieve Matteson, the museum grew from a small collection of colonial memorabilia from local families to include a compound of buildings, six of which were relocated to the Sherman village common beginning in 1950, and two others built onsite in 1979. The Peter Ripley House, Nettle Hill School House, a buggy shed, a log structure known as the Log Dwelling, the Ray Larson General Store, the Chapel, a gazebo, and a meetinghouse comprise the Village in the Village complex. An extensive collection of artifacts and furnishings allow visitors to experience and explore an authentic look at life long ago. Beginning with the original Yorker Society (est. 1950), the Yorker Museum has enjoyed the labor, dedication, enthusiasm and support of countless individuals, groups, and agencies. The Village of Sherman has held ownership of the buildings and property since the dissolution of the Yorker Society in 1998. Under provisions of an agreement between the Village and the Sherman Historical Society, the Society operates, markets and spearheads fundraising efforts with the common mission to impact the future by exploring the past in a “village in the Village” setting that is slated to become a major tourist attraction in Chautauqua County. As part of its efforts to ensure long-term preservation of the Yorker Museum and to achieve its mission, the Sherman Historical Society has established the French Creek Yorker Museum Fund at the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation. This non-endowment fund serves as a depository for tax-deductible donations for use in the preservation and restoration of museum build-
ings. Non-endowment funds can distribute the full amount of a gift to support current/immediate needs. And now, for the rest of the story. Flat tire on the way to work, returned home to a broken water heater, and a new roof is on the list of projects for the spring. The buildings at the Yorker Museum are in dire need of repairs and restoration from foundations to the rafters. Love and attention is needed all around. Some things never change… How can you help? Your donation to the French Creek Yorker Museum Fund at the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation will allow the Sherman Historical Society to move forward with important restoration and preservation projects required to preserve this unique and educational gem. Who knows, if they ever add a boarding house to the complex, it just might be the place to stay. For a little while, anyway. Donors may get first dibs… The French Creek Yorker Museum is located in Sherman, New York, at the corner of Park and Church streets. It’s open Memorial Day through Labor Day, Saturdays and Sundays between 1 and 4 p.m., or by appointment anytime. For more information, call (716) 761-6503, 761-7767 or 761-6340. The Chautauqua Region Community Foundation is a 501 (c) (3), tax-exempt organization that serves to benefit Chautauqua County through grant and scholarship funding. With a mission to enrich the quality of life in the Chautauqua region, the CRCF has been a trusted investment partner since 1978. For more information, call 716-661-3390.

Opera House Cinema Series to Screen “The Way” Contributed Article 1891 Fredonia Opera House
“The Way,” the moving drama starring real-life father and son, Martin Sheen and Emilio Estevez, is the next featured film at the 1891 Fredonia Opera House. It will be screened on Sat., Jan. 7, at 8 p.m. and Tues., Jan. 10, at 7:30 p.m. as part of the Opera House Cinema Series. Directed by Estevez, “The Way” is a powerful and inspirational story about family, friends, and the challenges we face while navigating this ever-changing and complicated world. Sheen plays Tom, an American doctor who comes to St. Jean Pied de Port, France, to collect the remains of his adult son (Estevez), killed in the Pyrenees in a storm while walking the Camino de Santiago, also known as The Way of Saint James. Rather than return home, Tom decides to embark on the historical pilgrimage
to honor his son’s desire to finish the journey. What Tom doesn’t plan on is the profound impact the journey will have on him and his “California Bubble Life.” Inexperienced as a trekker, Tom soon discovers that he will not be alone on this journey. On The Way, Tom meets other pilgrims from around the world, each with their own issues looking for greater meaning in their lives: a Dutchman, a Canadian and an Irish writer, who is suffering from a bout of writer’s block. From the unexpected, and often amusing, experiences along The Way, this unlikely quartet of misfits creates an everlasting bond and Tom begins to learn what it means to be a citizen of the world again. Through Tom’s unresolved relationship with his son, he discovers the difference between “the life we live and the life we choose.” Ann Hornaday, in USA Today, calls the film “a sensuous,
expansive hymn to travel and transformation.” Peter Travers, in Rolling Stone, calls
it “a uniquely memorable experience.” Roger Ebert, in the Chicago Sun Times, says the
film “is a sweet and sincere family pilgrimage. Audiences seeking uplift will find it here.” Rated PG-13 for thematic elements, drug use and smoking, “The Way” runs 115 minutes. Tickets to the Opera House Cinema Series are available at the door for $7 (adults), $6.50 (seniors & Opera House members) and $5 (students & children) the night of each screening. For more information, call the Opera House Box Office at 716-679-1891.
The Series continues with “J. Edgar” on Jan. 14 & 17; and “Anonymous” on Jan. 21 & 24. Chautauqua County’s only performing arts center presenting its own programming year-round, the 1891 Fredonia Opera House is a membersupported not-for-profit organization located in Village Hall in downtown Fredonia.

Christmas is a wonderful time of year when we all enjoy hearing the old familiar carols But, research shows that music does much more than just warm our hearts. Music gives moments of connection, happiness and memory to those who suffer from pain, memory loss and loneliness. It also has measureable effects on the body, such as lowering blood pressure and heartrate, and some have even seen relief from chronic pain and depression. Seniors, especially, can experience many benefits from music therapy such as:
• Better awareness and concentration • Increased social interaction • Improved memory and recall • Happier outlook on life and higher self-esteem Music has been found to restore one’s creative spirit, help achieve a more positive outlook, and maintain one’s self-esteem and attentiveness. The Tanglewood Group recognizes the benefits music can haveon our lives, and provides many outlets for their residents to enjoy it. Multiple musical activities are enjoyed every week as part of the scheduled activities at Tanglewood Manor, Memory Garden and Comfort Today,
which include playing chimes and drums, sing-a-longs, concerts and even music trivia. Back in 2004, eight male residents expressed a desire to sing, and from that small group, a mixed choir has evolved. So, for those with a desire to perform, two groups have been organized that practice regularly and perform. These are the Golden Gems Choir and Ring for Joy Chimes from Tanglewood under the direction of Mary Schmidt. So, next time you feel yourself tapping your toe to the melody, humming along, or even singing a tune, it may be “just what the doctor ordered”. Enjoy yourself!

Uninsured Turn To Daily Deal Sites For Health Care By Joseph Pisani AP Business Writer
NEW YORK (AP) The last time Mark Stella went to the dentist he didn’t need an insurance card. Instead, he pulled out a Groupon. Stella, a small business owner, canceled his health insurance plan more than three years ago when his premium rose to more than $400 a month. He considered himself healthy and decided that he was wasting money on something that he rarely used. So when a deal popped up on daily deals site Groupon for a teeth cleaning, exam and an Xray at a nearby dentist, Stella, 55, bought the deal, which the company calls a “Groupon’’, for himself and another for his daughter. He paid $39 for each, $151 below what the dentist normally charges. Daily deal sites like Groupon and LivingSocial are best known for offering limitedtime discounts on a variety of discretionary goods and services including restaurant meals, wine tastings, spa visits and hotel stays. The discounts are paid for upfront and then it’s up to the customer to book an appointment and redeem a coupon before it expires. Merchants like the deals because it gives them exposure and a pop in business. Customers use them to try something new, to save money on something they already use, or both. The sites are increasingly moving beyond little luxuries like facials and vacations and offering deals that are helping some people fill holes in their health insurance coverage. Visitors to these sites are finding a growing number of markdowns on health care services such as teeth cleanings, eye exams, chiropractic care and even medical checkups. They’re also offering deals on elective procedures not commonly covered by health insurers, such as wrinkle-reducing Botox injections and visioncorrecting Lasik eye surgery. About one out of every 11 deals offered online is for a health care service, according to data compiled by DealRadar.com, a site that gathers and lists 20,000 deals a day from different websites. “I was accustomed to going to the dentist every six months,’’ said Stella who owns SmartPhones, a store and wholesale business in Miami that sells mobile phone covers and accessories. “This filled the gap.’’
The deals are popping up across the nation. In New York, a full medical checkup with blood, stool and urinalysis testing sold for $69 in December on Groupon, below the regular price of $200. In Seattle, a flu shot was offered on AmazonLocal for $17, down from $35. In Chicago, LivingSocial sold a dental exam, cleaning, X-rays and teeth whitening trays for $99, a savings of $142. About 9 percent of all offers on daily deal websites in November were for dental work or some kind of medical treatment, up from 4.5 percent in the beginning of 2011, said Dan Hess, CEO and founder of Local Offer Network, which runs DealRadar.com. The growth in health-related deals is good news for millions of Americans. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 46.3 million Americans under 65 have no health coverage. The number of health care deals began rising as copycat websites attempted to get a piece of the market. Search leader Google and shopping site Amazon.com have recently gotten into the game. Not all have been successful. In August, social networking site Facebook dropped its plan to start a daily deal business, and Yelp, a site that allows customers to write reviews of restaurants and other businesses, scaled back its daily deal efforts. Many smaller sites have closed. But the shakeout in the industry hasn’t hurt the number of health deals being offered since the industry leaders, like Groupon, are offering more deals and are moving into more markets, Hess said. The health care deals may be attractive for people with gaps in their coverage or no insurance, but jumping from one health care provider to the next isn’t ideal. Visiting the same doctor or dentist makes it easier to monitor how a patient’s health is progressing, said David Williams, cofounder of medical consultancy group MedPharma Partners and author of HealthBusinessBlog.com. Also, it’s important for patients to do their own research before buying a medical or dental deal, Williams said. “A referral from someone you trust is the best path,’’ said Williams. Dental deals are the most popular among users of local deal websites, likely because even more people lack dental
insurance than health insurance. Among the 172 million people under 65 who have private health insurance in the U.S., about 45 million don’t have dental coverage, according to the CDC. Dentists have traditionally offered deals by mailing out coupons, but paper coupons have a low redemption rate, Williams said. Local deal sites are more attractive to doctors and dentists because they get paid up front and they reach new clients. “We reached a whole new demographic who otherwise wouldn’t find us,’’ said Dr. Gregg Feinerman, an ophthalmologist who runs Feinerman Vision Center in Newport Beach, Calif. He offered a 58 percent discount on Lasik eye surgery through Groupon. “It’s a better way to market,’’ he said. He used Groupon as a way to bring in patients under 30-years old with the hope that they would recommend his services to friends and rate him on review website Yelp. A good review might persuade someone else to visit his office, Feinerman said. He charges $5,000 for the surgery on both eyes; a price that he said can be “overwhelming for 20-to 30-year-olds.’’ Feinerman approached Groupon about listing the eye surgery for $3,000. Groupon, which is based in Chicago, pushed him to lower the price to $2,100. Feinerman got exactly the type of patient he was looking for in Thomas Cho. Cho, 29, bought the offer and after the surgery wrote a review on Yelp. He gave the vision center five stars, the highest rating on the website. Cho said in an interview that his health insurance plan only covers 20 percent of the regular price of Lasik since it is considered a cosmetic procedure. He would have paid about $4,000 if he had used his insurance discount. Cho decided to buy the Groupon, paying $2,100 initially. After consulting with the doctor, he upgraded his surgery to an all-laser procedure for $1,000 more. At the time, Cho’s credit card issuer was offering a 20 percent cash back promotion on Groupon purchases. In all, he saved more than $1,300. “I had my post-op checkup and I am seeing 20/20,’’ Cho wrote on Yelp. “I couldn’t be happier.’’

Ny Seniors See Reduced Prescription Coverage Contributed Article AP Newsfinder
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) A reduction in prescription drug coverage under last year’s state budget cuts means 292,000 New Yorkers will now be paying more at the pharmacy. State leaders cut the $322

The program is designed to help lower-income people over 65 pay out-of-pocket expenses associated with Medi-

Go Places – Holiday Valley By Dusten Rader Entertainment Editor
The Winter season is in full swing. White snow is finally covering the green grass below. But, that’s not an excuse to avoid the cold by staying indoors. The slopes at Ellicottville’s Holiday Valley are calling adventurers from far and wide. So, don’t miss out on the fun this year by planning a trip out to Western New York’s most visited ski resort. Holiday Valley’s Win-Sum Ski Corp. was established over half a century ago in 1957. However, the history behind the ski resort extends even further than the fifties. In 1936 Ellicottville’s G. Wilbur “Doc” Northrup and German Ski Champion Karl Fahrner rigged a rope tow West of the village on Fish Hill. Over the next twenty years Ellicottville’s reputation as a great ski town grew until 1958 when the first t-bar and slope were opened to the public and Holiday Valley was born. In 2012 Holiday Valley is home to almost 300 acres of ski-able acreage, 58 day trails, 37 night trails, 13 lifts, a 750 foot vertical drop, The Tamarack lodge featuring 4-star amenities, tubing, The Mountain Coaster and rental shops. Yet, just as important as the skiing is the social aspect of spending time at the resort. People come from all over the world to take a holiday in Ellicottville. While there they escape from their daily lives by having a ton of fun at the resort and getting to know the other people who have found their way there for the same reason. “The social aspect is as important as the skiing itself,” said Director of Marketing Jane Eshbaugh. “And, we have the most skier visits in New York State.” Youth Marketing Specialist and Terrain Park Manager Pat Morgan added that New York has the most skier areas out of any other state in the United States. Which makes Holiday Valley the most visited in the state with the most ski areas. “That’s a pretty remarkable thing for us,” he said. The number one thing that brings people to the resort is in the name itself. The name of the resort describes the concept behind the skier experience at Holiday Valley. “Many Canadians make their way down to Ellicottville and instead of saying vacation they say going on Holiday,” said Eshbaugh. So, Holiday Valley tries to live up to that idea by providing guests with everything they could want. Plus, if it can’t be found on the resort it may be available in the town of Ellicottville. “The Village of Ellicottville is a such a big

part of our success,” said Eshbaugh. “Having more than just the slopes on a ski vacation is a lucky thing. And, we didn’t have to manufacture it, Ellicottville provides it.” But, the slopes are a major draw as well. The geography lends itself perfectly to the ski experience by offering diverse terrain, about five faces and some great peaks. “This place is big and that’s what makes up for only having a 750 foot vertical,” said Morgan. “Some people say they’d rather go to a real mountain but this is a real mountain. There is a lot of great stuff out there. Furthering that our snow making, grooming and the fact that we have three high speed lifts.” As far as degree of difficulty there is a little bit of everything from green to double black and from beginner to Olympic trainer. There is even skiing at night in which the slopes are lit with high quality lights that provide a near natural light experience. But, there is also the option to ski wherever guests want to throughout the park. There is plenty to discover while exploring. Guests can cross country ski through the woods and stumble upon some beautiful spots. “We call them glades,” said Morgan. “We clean out the brush and
Children’s Center. (Photo by Dusten Rader)
they are really nice secluded areas.” Another great aspect of Holiday Valley is that it is Safe and fun for everyone. People of all ages and skill level can enjoy their time at the resort. “Your first time here can be a little overwhelming,” said Eshbaugh. “So, for new skiers the Creekside Lodge focuses on lessons for beginners. There is a beginners slope and lift as well that is gentle and has a long run out.” There are even packages for beginners that include admission, lessons and rental equipment. The lessons are with instructors who are knowledgeable about the resort, have the skills required to navigate the park and will prepare guests for the slopes. “We try to utilize our most experienced instructors to introduce people to the sport because we want them to come back and become life long skiers,” said Eshbaugh. There is even plenty to do for kids too. There is a program with the Day Care Center where the kids get dropped off in the morning where are kept entertained throughout the day. Then they are dressed for ski lessons and if they are 3 years old they receive a private lesson and older kids get a
group lesson. There is also a video game arcade, pools and hot tubs, tubing and the Mountain Coaster. The fun doesn’t end when it stops snowing either. All year long there are things going on at Holiday Valley. During the warm season there is an 18 hole golf course, mountain biking, hiking and the Sky High Adventure park that features a series of platforms and “bridges” built in a 4 acre section of the woods. Holiday Valley is even a great place for business meetings and conferences as well. Even though Holiday Valley celebrated its 50th Anniversary in 2008 that doesn’t mean the resort is thinking about retirement. The resort continues to grow every year and new additions are constantly being made. One recent addition is the Sky High Mountain Coaster. It is similar to a roller coaster but lower to the ground and follows the contours of the terrain. Riders control the speed of the car as it zig-zags and spirals down the mountain.

parking. And, by the end of 2012 work will be completed on a $12.5 million remodel of The Clubhouse. “The thing about our history is how quickly we’ve grown and that we continue to expand,” said Morgan. “History is being made every year here.” People are always asking Eshbaugh what the secret to the success of the resort is and she always tells them that there is no secret. “It’s just doing a little bit every year,” she said. “We never bite off more than we can chew.” According to Morgan Holiday Valley is often referred to as one of the best ran resorts in the country. “To be in that caliber and to be operating so efficiently, responsibly and ultimately successfully is pretty cool,” he said. Being the Terrain Park Manager Morgan works on creating fun and safe experiences for skiers and snowboarders. He builds parks that are similar to skate parks but with the snow. “During the Winter I get to do what I love the most which is build parks, maintain and market them and bring in cool events,” he said. One of those cool events includes the Winter Carnival that happens the second week of March. The town of Ellicot-
tville also hosts a Mardi Gras parade in conjunction with the event. Ellicottville holds a not so secret gem in the back yard of Western New York. So, don’t spend all Winter hibernating. Get out to Holiday Valley and have some fun. “For a lot of people around here Winter is their favorite season,” said Eshbaugh. “Plus, skiing is great exercise and the social experience is important too because you’re surrounded by like minded people. It’s very refreshing, thrilling, fun and a great sport for families. It’s just easy to enjoy.” For those hoping to get some more information on the resort should visit holidayvalley.com. The website features information like history, location and contact info, resort services, about Ellicottville, snow reports, lodging, activities, events, dining, golf, web cams, videos, photos and more.

1 package Quorn Meatless and Soy Free Chik’n Tenders 1/2 cup onions 1/2 cup broccoli 1/2 cup roasted red peppers 1/2 cup red potatoes
1/2 cup spinach 1 tbsp. garlic powder 4 cups vegetable broth Bring broth to boil then add vegetables and garlic powder. In a separate frying pan brown the Quorn Chik’n Tenders in olive oil then add to stew. Let cook on low heat for at least 1 hour. Submitted by: Dusten Rader The great thing about stew is all you need is broth and veggies to make a delicious dinner. This recipe can mutate into a number of other soups
by changing up the ingredients. Experiment to try and find new flavors. Add a roll, fresh loaf of bread or crackers for dipping and you have a great dinner. In this recipe I added a chicken substitute to make the dish completely vegetarian. Quorn is meatless and soy free and is rich in protein. It is also delicious.

January 5, 2012 Edition – Main Section – A
Movie Review - War Horse Star Staff Writer Amber Rinehart
Star Rating: 3.5/5 After writer Michael Morpurgo heard the tales of the courage’s horses that worked along side their masters during WWI, he started thinking. The story of these horses is so amazing and unknown that a book could surely be possible. In 1982, Morpurgo published a children’s fiction novel called War Horse in Great Britain. After winning numerous awards, it was eventually adapted into a play by Nick Stafford. War Horse debuted in 2007 at the National Theatre in London and later on Broadway in March of 2011. War Horse has gained popular and critical appeal alike, not just for the story, but for the amazing puppeteering of the horses. If you have not seen this incredible work, I highly recommend looking up the War Horse puppet team online, it will blow your mind. With this much success on the stage, it was sure to become a movie. In 2009, Stephen Spielberg announced that he would bring War Horse to the big screen. War Horse has already captured numerous nominations and awards including two Golden Globe nominations for Best Picture of the Year and Best Original Score by John Williams. It is also expected to pick up numerous Academy Award nominations as well. Overall, War Horse is a good movie with a strong story and stunning visuals. At this point I want to acknowledge that I took my grandmother to see this movie and she said, and I quote, “Oh my, that was the best movie I have ever seen, I loved every minute of it. It was just perfect, didn’t you love it too Amber?” So that right there can be a short and simple review for you, but if you feel like reading further I can break down the good and bad. War Horse tells the story of Albert and his horse Joey. Albert’s father purchases a young colt and leaves it to Albert to train. Albert and Joey’s bond and love for each other grows and grows until hard times force Albert’s father to sell Joey to the WWI war effort.
Times Starting Thursday, January 5th Dunkirk Movieplex 8 10520 Bennett Road Dunkirk, NY 14048 War Horse (PG13) 5:00, 8:00
The story then focuses on Joey as he changes ownership from one side of the war to the other. Each person Joey encounters somehow impacts him and he them. This interconnection of the English, French and German characters is interesting to watch and really creates this odd sense of sadness. You are able to feel for all of the characters, no matter what side they are fighting on. No matter what country they came from, they are all just people fighting in a war they wish would end. The use of multiple characters works in this way, but at the same time it does not allow enough time for each character to be fully developed or even developed at all. I know I make this criticism often, but I think it is one of the major flaws in movies today, we are never given a chance to know a character. Many of the characters are never even really given names and are very one-dimensional. When their part of the story is complete, because we don’t really know them, we don’t really care that much. One of the other flaws of War Horse is its length. At two and a half hours long, it can get a little grueling. Many online critics and viewers are calling the film Bore Horse. Although I want to disagree with this, I must admit, it can be quite dull at times. I think the issue was not only the length of the film, but its very slow moving beginning. It is nearly half an hour into the movie before war even breaks out and waiting to get to that point is very dull at times. I understand that the connection between Joey and Albert needed to be made in order for the rest of the film to work, but it took far too long and was far too slow moving for most peoples taste. Directed by Stephen Spielberg, War Horse is visually stun-
ning. Shot entirely in England in real houses and towns gives it an authenticity few films accomplish. Every shot, every angle, every frame of this film is beautiful. When you become as iconic of a filmmaker as Stephen Spielberg, there tend to be generic criticisms. Michael Bay just blows stuff up, Quentin Tarantino is too post-modern, Ron Howard is too sappy and Spielberg waters down his material. I never really agreed with this criticism though considering Spielberg is the man who brought us Schindler’s List. Many critics are accusing Spielberg of watering down the story of WWI and turning it into a sappy, cliché family film. I think War Horse walks the line between a family film and a war movie. Rated PG-13, it really is not a movie for young kids. It takes place during WWI and there are a lot of deaths. Many people and many horses die in this movie. This needed to occur though for authenticity. It is estimated that at least 8 million horses died during WWI and it would be a disservice to that loss if this fact were skipped over in the film. Young children and many adults may be disturbed by the numerous deaths. None of the deaths, animal or human are at all graphic though. There is no blood really seen and there is no serious or graphic violence. There is a lot of intensity though that young children may not be able to handle. Overall War Horse is a solid and touching film that is worth seeing. All of the performances are brilliant, although there are very few faces American audiences will recognize, the cinematography is beautiful and the music is enchanting. Is it worth being called best movie of the year? I don’t think so, but check it for yourself and decide.

New Year’s Resolutions Written by Todd J. Tranum, President & CEO of the Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce & Executive Director of the Manufacturers Association of the Southern Tier For many individuals, the start of a new year provides an opportunity for renewed optimism and rededication to self-improvement. The same is true for many businesses and organizations, as we look forward to growth and progress. For the Chamber/MAST, our five point focus remains the same: driving foot traffic into local businesses; increasing sales and reducing costs for our members; containing health insurance costs through pro-active solutions; advocating for positive change with a focus on reducing taxes; and supporting economic, workforce, and tourism development. These items are at the core of our work plan because they are all significant for our
members. As we work to driving foot traffic into our local businesses we will work to expand our successful Shop Chautauqua County Gift Check program. Over 85 members participate in this program countywide. We would like to expand the business participation and at the same time improve our gift check sales. Over $110,000 in Gift Check sales this holiday season directly relates to support of our local economy in Chautauqua County. Member-to-member discounts also help to drive foot traffic into local businesses. Because they understand the value of membership and in being connected with other local businesses, Chamber members often seek out other Chamber members when they are looking for support services. The Chamber offers a number
of marketing opportunities for our members to help boost sales. From Gem Sponsorships to web advertising, there are numerous valueadded ways our members can market their products and services, while aligning with the Chamber brand to demonstrate a commitment to our community. In addition, we are continuously seeking new ways to help our members reduce costs through informational seminars and events. Our health insurance program continues to evolve to provide an even better array of services for members. Through the Bright Choices Exchange, employers can control their costs, while employees have a broad range of options to meet both their coverage and financial needs. In addition, the program has expanded to include additional employee benefits. We will maintain a strong focus on these important products in the coming
Fredonia Chamber Banquet Scheduled The Fredonia Community Chamber of Commerce will hold its Annual Banquet on Tuesday, January 31 at the White Inn, 52 East Main Street, Fredonia.

year in order to best serve the needs of all Chamber/MAST members. With some successes in our advocacy work over the past year we resolve to work even harder this coming year to encourage government at all levels to right-size and reduce our tax burden. Working locally, our plans call for increasing awareness of options for government consolidations and shared services in order to save costs and reduce the layers of taxing entities that hamper all property taxpayers. In addition, by working directly with our elected officials, and with our partner Chamber and business associations statewide, we will press for program changes at the state level that will save money and make government more efficient. The Chamber/MAST also works closely with many organizations to support
economic, workforce, and tourism development. Some of our key partners include the County of Chautauqua Industrial Development Agency, the Downtown Jamestown Development Association, the Chautauqua County Visitors Bureau, Jamestown Community College, and the SUNY College at Fredonia Technology Incubator. Working with these organizations we are proud to help tourism and economic development projects launch successfully and stay on track. As a business association, our key focus is on improving the overall business climate in Chautauqua County. Our affiliated organizations are all gearing up for an exciting year ahead including our Community Chambers in Dunkirk, Fredonia, Jamestown, Mayville/Chautauqua, Silver Creek, and Westfield/ Barcelona with plans in the works for events and festivals
countywide. The Manufacturers Association of the Southern Tier and the Manufacturing Technology Institute will dive head-on into the Dream It Do It program’s regional expansion efforts. During the coming year we will also role out plans for new communications tools to help our members become more active online and to better brand their businesses. We are working diligently on both the high-tech and personal touches that our members want from their Chamber in this fast-paced business climate. Watch this column for more information in the future. Our mission is to create a business environment where our members can thrive. We invite you to join us on this adventure. Happy New Year from all of us at the Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce!

CCB Beginning 110th Year In Operation Contributed Article CCB
On Jan. 2, 1902, a newly chartered Cattaraugus County Bank (CCB) opened its doors to the public and began an unbroken history of fiscal integrity and sound financial growth that has lasted for 110 years! CCB will begin it’s year-long 110th anniversary celebration in January in a couple of new and diverse ways: CCB reached out to local area schools and asked second grade teachers if they’d be interested in participating in a CCB Time Capsule Project. They’ve invited 2nd graders to place items in a CCB-provided time capsule in early 2012. The time capsule will then be placed in the bank’s vault. And in 2022 – when the second graders are “senior” students, CCB will invite them back to CCB to open the time capsule to see how creative they were, how much fun they had and what may have been going on
in their world at the beginning of 2012. CCB developed very attractive and thought provoking display banners containing interesting history over CCB’s eleven decades of existence. All CCB locations will have a display in their lobby. The banners contain both CCB information and reminders of events in history outside the world of banking. The banners should be up and ready for viewing by mid-January. CCB is also running a loan special between Jan. 9 and Feb. 29, 2012. If a friend (customer or non-customer) is interested in learning more about CCB’s Anniversary Loan Special, they can call or stop in to any location and ask a loan officer for information. CCB has chosen the week of Jan. 9, 2012, to provide refreshments to anyone visiting one of their locations. “We are very happy to be able to say we’re here, we’re strong and we support our communities,” states CCB Senior VP Joni Simcick. “These first few
activities are just the beginning of a year-long birthday party. Many schools were receptive to our Time Capsule idea and we hope folks see our lenders about the loan special. It is quite a nice offer. We are also very proud of the big banner displays … I think visitors will find them interesting. I invite everyone to stop in, visit with our excellent employees and look for more events as 2012 passes. The CCB marketing team is busy talking about what else we’ll be doing to celebrate this important anniversary.” CCB is an FDIC insured New York State chartered independent, community bank. From January 2, 1902, CCB has established an unprecedented record of fiscal integrity and sound financial growth, which now totals $180 million in assets. CCB maintains convenient ATMs and can be found on the web at www.ccblv. com. CCB is an equal housing lender. CCB’s main office is located in Little Valley, with eight branch offices.

Start 2012 Off Right In Your Small Business
By Joyce M. Rosenberap Business Writer
NEW YORK (AP) The arrival of the new year gives small business owners a chance to fix some of the problems that may have dogged them through 2011. Those whose accounting systems were haphazard, or who didn’t have a clear policy about vacations and sick time should take advantage of the fresh start that 2012 offers. A look at what needs to be done: ABOUT THOSE BOOKS If you’re likely to show up at your accountant’s office during tax season with a pile of disorganized receipts, invoices and ledgers for 2011, get yourself some accounting software
designed for small business owners. And start using it right away. If you’re not sure which one would be best for you, talk to your accountant or to another business owner whose line of work is similar to yours. Many small business owners have poorly kept or nonexistent books because they don’t have time to keep track of what they spend and earn. Or they feel intimidated by accounting. The solution is to get some help. Your accountant or another owner can help you find a good bookkeeping service. Or hire an accounting student at a local college. Students are eager for the work. If you need help learning to use the program, visit www. score.org . SCORE is an organization that offers free
counseling to small business owners. You can search for a counselor who’s savvy about accounting software. Keeping good books is not just about being organized. It’s also about knowing what’s going on with your business. If you can’t easily look at your receivables and your expenses and know what your cash flow is, then your company can run into financial trouble. Getting your books in shape for 2012 now won’t take long. And don’t wait till your accountant yells at you in March or April. By then the year will be a quarter or a third over and you’ll have to backtrack to get yourself organized. It will be a waste of your time. WHAT’S YOUR POLICY? If you spent time in 2011 trying to mediate disputes over
which employee was going to take which holiday or week in the summer off, you need to create a written vacation policy. There are two reasons: It will help your company operate in a fair and orderly fashion, and employees will know what to expect. Similarly, you might want to think about time off for illness, jury duty and other situations. A policy should spell out how much time employees get, how many staffers can be off at one time and how conflicts will be resolved. You need to decide if employees get their time off by seniority, or on a first-come, first-served basis. And, how far in advance do they need to ask for time off? How will you handle emergency requests, especially when staffers have already
used all their vacation time? And what happens if staffers don’t use all their time? Can they roll it over to the next year? For sick time, you need to think about how much you want to give staffers. And how do you want to handle situations where someone is out for an extended time? There are other time off issues. Staffers need to care for a sick child or other relative. And if they’re called for jury duty, are you going to pay them while they’re in court? A big caveat: Some of these situations may be covered by federal or state laws, like the Family and Medical Leave Act or the Americans with Disabilities Act. You should probably speak with a human resources consultant or a
SCORE counselor who has worked in HR to be sure you comply with the laws. You can learn more about the FMLA at www.dol.gov/dol/ topic/benefits-leave/fmla.htm and the ADA at www.ada.gov Check your state’s websites to see if there are laws you must follow. Something to think about is a growing trend in many companies toward what’s called paid time off, or PTO, that doesn’t differentiate among vacation, sick time or personal days. Staffers get a set number of days and all their absences count toward that number. That option will free you from figuring how much of each kind of time off you want to give. But you’ll still need to think about how time off is granted.
Obama Hopeful For More Economic Progress In 2012 By Julie Pace Associated Press
HONOLULU (AP) Reflecting on a challenging year, President Barack Obama says he’s hoping for more economic progress following action by Congress to prevent tax increases at the start of 2012. “It was good to see members of Congress do the right thing for millions of working Americans,’’ said Obama,
using his weekly radio and Internet address Saturday to deliver a New Year’s message. He said the public made itself heard on a Social Security payroll tax cut and that was one big reason that lawmakers agreed to extend it for two more months. The American people, Obama said, “had the courage to believe your voices could make a difference.’’ The president said he expects
Congress to finish the job when lawmakers return to Washington in January and extend the tax cut through the end of the year. Reflecting on 2011, Obama said it was a time of great challenge and progress, including the end of the war in Iraq, the death of Osama bin Laden and signs of an economic recovery. “There’s no doubt that 2012 will bring even more change,’’
Obama said. “And as we head into the new year, I’m hopeful that we have what it takes to face that change and come out even stronger, to grow our economy, create more jobs and strengthen the middle class.’’ On the eve of an election year, Obama said the months ahead will help determine “what kind of country we want to be and what kind of world we want our children and grandchildren to grow up in.’’
Sen. Johnny Isakson, delivering the Republican address, outlined his party’s commitments to the American people for 2012. The Georgia lawmaker said his party’s No. 1 goal is to make it easier for small businesses to create jobs. “We’ll accomplish this by focusing on three things: fundamental tax reform, regulatory reform and energy security,’’ he said.
Isakson said that while some people may think Congress will be too consumed with the 2012 elections to accomplish anything significant, the public deserves better. “Americans cannot wait until after the November election,’’ he said. “They need us to do our job and do it right now to create an economic climate that makes it easier to put people back to work.’’
After Many Ups And Downs, Stocks End Flat For 2011 By Bernard Condon AP Business Writer
NEW YORK (AP) The stock market ended a tumultuous year right where it started. In the final tally, despite big climbs and falls, unexpected blows and surprising triumphs, all the hullabaloo proved for naught. On Friday, the Standard & Poor’s 500 index closed at 1,257.60. That’s exactly 0.04 point below where it started the year. “If you fell asleep January 1 and woke up today, you’d think nothing had happened,’’ says Jack Ablin, chief investment officer of Harris Private Bank. “But it’s been up and down all year. It’s been crazy.’’ It was a year when U.S. companies were supposed to run out of ways to make big profits. But they didn’t, and in fact generated more than ever. It was a year when the U.S. lost its prized triple-A credit rating, which should have spooked buyers of its bonds. Instead investors bought more of them and made Treasurys one of the best bets of 2011. It was a year when stocks caught fire, then collapsed to near bear-market lows. Among stocks, there were some surprising winners. Scaredy-cat investors who
bought the most conservative and dullest of stocks, utilities, gained 15 percent this year, the biggest price rise of the ten industry sectors in the S&P 500. Other winning groups were consumer staples, up 11 percent, and health care companies, 10 percent. Other market curiosities: - Bad year, great quarter. Despite disappointing returns in 2011, the last three months of the year were impressive, which could bode well for the new year. The S&P 500 rose 11 percent. The Dow Jones industrial average, comprising 30 big stocks, climbed 1,344 points, or 12 percent. That was the largest quarterly point gain in its history. The Dow closed up 5.5 percent for the year. - Best of the bad. U.S. stocks delivered little this year, but other markets did even worse, including ones in fastgrowing economies. Brazil’s Bovespa index fell 18 percent in 2011. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng dropped 20 percent. In Europe, many of the biggest markets ended down in 2011. Britain’s FTSE 100 lost 5.6 percent, Germany’s DAX 14.7 percent. - Buy American is back. A broad index of the Treasury market gained 9.6 percent, despite the fact that the U.S.
government is now slightly less likely to repay its debt, at least according to Standard & Poor’s. In August, the rating agency stripped the U.S. of its triple-A rating, citing mounting U.S. debt and political squabbling over what to do about it. For stock investors, 2011 wasn’t supposed to end this way. At the start of the year, the Great Recession was officially 11/2 years behind us and the recovery was finally gaining momentum. The economy added an average of more than 200,000 jobs a month in February, March and April. And U.S. companies kept reporting big jumps in profits, defying naysayers. The stock market roared in approval. On April 29, the S&P closed at 1,363, double its recessionary low of March 2009. Then manufacturing slowed, companies stopped hiring and consumer confidence plummeted, taking with it those hopes of big stock gains for the year. Adding to the misery, Japan was rocked by an earthquake and tsunami. That shut down factories run by crucial parts suppliers to U.S. firms, in particular auto makers.
Gridlock in Washington didn’t help. After much squabbling, politicians eventually decided to raise the cap on how much the federal government can borrow in early August. But the heated debate took its toll. The Dow Jones industrial average swung more than 400 points four days in a row, down and up and down and up. Overhanging it all was fear that the debt crisis in Greece had spread to Italy and Spain, countries too large for other European nations to bail out. Talk of another blockbuster year for stocks turned to dark musings about the possibility of another U.S. recession. And so stocks kept falling. On Oct. 3, stocks had dropped 19 percent from their April high. That was just one point short of an official bear market. Since then, U.S. housing starts have increased, factories are producing more, unemployment claims fell and U.S. economic growth rose. And companies are still generating impressive profits. Those in the S&P 500 have increased profits by double-digits percentages for nine quarters in a row. The good news pushed stocks up in the closing months of the year.
The biggest winner in the Dow was McDonald’s Corp, up 31 percent for the year. Bank of America Corp. was the worst performing stock, down 58 percent. Including dividends, the S&P 500 returned 2.11 percent for 2011. That means investors lost money after inflation, which was running at 3.4 percent in the 12 months ending in November. At least they’re getting more than investors in the benchmark 10-year Treasury note, which currently pays a yield of just 1.88 percent. The outlook for stocks in the new year is either great or grim, depending on your focus. Italy has to repay holders of $172 billion worth of it national bonds in the first three months of 2012. It will do so by selling new bonds. The question is how much interest they will demand to be paid to compensate for the risk they’re taking on. If they demand too much, fear could spread that the country will default. That could sink stocks. After Italy was forced to pay unexpectedly high rates in a bond auction earlier this month, stocks fell hard around the world.
There are also questions about whether China’s economy is slowing too much and whether the U.S. politicians will agree to raise the debt ceiling again in 2012 or extend Bushera tax cuts. On the bright side, stocks seem to be well-priced. The S&P 500 is trading at 12 times its expected earnings per share for 2012 versus a more typical 15 times. In other words, they appear cheaper now. Partly based on that many strategists, stock analysts and economists expect the index to end next year at 1,400 or more, up 10 percent or so. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 5.42 points, or 0.4 percent on Friday. The Dow Jones industrial average lost 69.48 points, or 0.6 percent, to 12,217.60. The Nasdaq composite index fell 8.59 points, or 0.3 percent, to 2,605.15 The Nasdaq is down 1.8 percent for the year. Trading has been quiet this week with many investors away on vacation. Volume on the New York Stock Exchange has been about half of its daily average. Markets will be closed Monday in observance of New Year’s Day.

Nyc Schools Could Lose Out On $60m In Grants Contributed Article, AP Newsfinder
NEW YORK (AP) Struggling New York City schools are at risk of losing out on $60 million in federal grants after talks aimed at resolving a dispute over new teacher evaluations faltered. Negotiations between city
education officials and the United Federation of Teachers fell apart Friday. State Education Commissioner John King Jr. said in a statement that the adults responsible for the city’s schools “let the students down.’’ He said he had “no choice’’ but to suspend federal funding funneled from the state to some low-achieving city schools.
Students and staff at Chautauqua Lake Central School performed “Random Acts Of Kindness” in a project introduced by student leaders, grades 9 through 12, in the Sources of Strength program. Each of the 32 students performed a good deed and described it in a sentence or two written on an index card. Each student then handed out four blank cards to other high school students, inviting them to participate as well. After the cards were hung on the Christmas tree at the main entrance to the school building, the Sources of Strength leaders challenged students and staff throughout the elementary and secondary schools to perform acts of kindness and add their good deeds to the tree. Dustin Graziano helped a friend who was going through a tough time. Ray Fortney cheered up a young child who was being picked on. Taylor Lane helped a friend when she was depressed. Zach Stahlsmith consoled a friend during following the death of a close family friend. Mariana Mathewson made someone laugh who had not laughed in a long time. Mary Schmitz complimented a fellow student on a decorated locker. Tom Cole took another student’s empty cafeteria tray to the kitchen for washing. When a student dropped books in the hallway, Miranda Williams helped pick them up. School counselor Jessica Cowan and secretary Wanda Latimer went to a student’s house to pick up a change of clothes. Leanna Harp said “Hello” to everyone she saw one day, no

Emilee Christie knows B Days are a challenge for one of her friends, so she texted her friend before school on a B Day, saying she hoped she had a really nice day. And she did! Several individuals helped neighbors or family members. Kelsie Breads’ neighbor recently moved to a nursing home, so she and her family bought him a small Christmas tree that he could have in his room. Gerry Conrad helped a neighbor stack fire wood. Ian Clute helped his grandmother around the house. Before her basketball game, Jenna Einink held the door for an older couple. Kyle Mayer helped a teaching assistant and her husband carry in food for the annual food drive. Ashton Albanesius held the door for an elderly shopper, and teacher Steven Johnston helped an elderly woman carry her groceries. He also helped his father connect a DVD player and speakers to his television.

Dylan Shuskie cleaned out his toy box and donated some of his old toys to needy children. Alyssa Fardink helped her little cousin clean his room. Brad Lawson helped his father by cleaning the garage and plowing the driveway with his four-wheeler. Sophia Woodis sharpened pencils for her mother. Anna Gerber got her little sister dressed one morning. Sources of Strength is a comprehensive wellness program that uses peer leaders to change norms around codes of silence and help seeking, building multiple sources of support so when times get hard students have strengths to rely on. The pilot program, developed by the Department of Psychiatry of the University of Rochester, is part of a twoyear study to combat bullying and youth suicide in high schools in New York State and in North Dakota. The Sources of Strength advisors at Chautauqua Lake Central School are Steven Johnston and Katrina Freay. Other student organizations coordinated service projects throughout the school and invited the larger community to participate. The National Honor Society “adopted” 15 families, including 45 children, for their Annual Christmas Project. Students purchased and wrapped gifts for each child, presenting the family with a box of food to prepare a holiday meal. Members of the junior class collected 50 jackets and 75 gloves, scarves, hats and other warm gear, which were donated to the Salvation Army of Western New York. Peer Educators collected books, which they distributed to children in the Chautauqua Lake community.

in recent years. Cost criteria include “low sticker prices, abundant financial aid and low average debt at graduation.” “As states cut funding for higher education and tuition continues to climb, the word ‘value’ becomes more significant than ever,” said Jane Bennett Clark, senior editor at Kiplinger’s Personal Finance. “This year’s top 100 public schools deliver strong academics at reasonable prices. We applaud these institutions for tightening their belts without compromising quality.” “We are pleased to be recognized once again by Kiplinger’s as a ‘Best Value,’” said SUNY Fredonia Director of Public Relations Michael Barone. “It’s always encouraging to have external entities recognize the quality educational experience that SUNY Fredonia offers. However, we consistently talk to prospective students and their families about this campus’ affordability, as well as the emphasis we place on graduating in four years, so it’s especially rewarding to be singled out for those attributes within this particular ranking.” Fredonia was one of nine SUNY schools included
in this year’s rankings, sparked largely by the consistently low tuition found across the SUNY system. Undergraduate tuition rose by just $300 in 2011-12 to $5,270 for New York State residents, while out-of-state residents saw a $940 increase to $14,320. Total estimated in-state costs to attend Fredonia are $16,978, below the national average for public universities of $17,131 and less than half of the national average of $38,589 for private schools, according to the magazine. The annual public school rankings appear in Kiplinger’s February 2012 issue, on newsstands today, and online at: www.kiplinger.com/links/ college.

YWCA Westfield News By Katie Smith Contributing Writer
Dollar Days The special price on fitness visits has been extended through Jan. 12. Visits can be added to an account for $1 each, with no limit on the number of visits that can be purchased. Visits remain on the member’s account as long as the membership is paid and current. Completion of Floors The YWCA is pleased to announce the restoration and replacement of the floors in the back half of the building is complete. “The generous donation of board member Loreen Gin-
nitti allowed us to replace the kitchen and game room tiles and have the back hallway and restroom floors all refinished,” said agency director Katie Smith. “We were also pleased that Servicemaster was the low bid on this project, and we were able to have all the work done locally. Visitors should notice the fresh clean appearance; this work, added to the painting Jason Backus and Sherri Gollnitz did earlier in the fall, makes an improvement in the overall appearance and is another step towards making the YWCA the show place the community deserves.” Fitness Center Improvements “Our members have contributed about one-third of our goal” That’s the report
from YWCA administrative assistant Michelle Warner. “Our fitness center is in need of some attention; the walls need some repair and a fresh coat of paint, the TV should be upgraded and there are several other amenities that need to be worked on. Once we had some estimates; we decided to ask the fitness members to help cover these costs and they’ve stepped up to the plate. For about $1000 we can make the room more comfortable and nicer to use. The YWCA budget includes funds for fitness equipment repair and maintenance but not really a line for the TLC the room needs; rather than raise dues or the costs of visits, we decided to just ask the users of the center to help make it more attractive.”
Anyone interested in making a donation to the YWCA in general or the fitness center specifically is encouraged to visit the agency or call for more details. Once the money is raised, work will begin. Board of Directors Meeting The YWCA Board of Directors will meet on Jan. 17. Board Chair Ivy Higginbotham reports, “2012 is a busy year for the agency, in addition to the 20th anniversary of the YWCA sponsorship of the Arts and Crafts Festival, there are other events nearly every month throughout the year. We encourage community members interested in becoming a part of the board to contact the agency director, Katie Smith or one of our board members.”
Rentals Individuals considering rentals at the YWCA are encouraged to call and make their reservations as soon as their dates are set. “We’re getting busier and our bedrooms and facilities are being used more and more” said Facilities Manager Nancy Tresler. “We love company. We look forward to our returning guests, but we want to make sure we can accommodate them. It’s not unusual to have every bedroom occupied, a party in the assembly room and a meeting in the kitchen! If you have out of town company coming or are planning an event for 2012, please make your reservations soon.”
Some details are available on the YWCA website at www. ywcawestfield.org, people are invited to contact the agency at 716-326-2011 or stop and visit the facility. The YWCA is located at 58 S.

The YWCA Westfield is a member of the United Way of Northern Chautauqua County, the northeast region of YWCA and an affiliate of the national YWCA.
Finally, I want to keep the goal of this wonderful, inspiring hobby in mind : to enjoy the process. Other than client work, the projects I create are mine alone to enjoy. The recipient of a crafty gift may toss it in the trash; a child may disregard the messages of love in a scrapbook album and future generations may not appreciate the hours of painstaking work that went into creating a family treasure. I’m learning to say “Who cares?” If it’s something I enjoyed making and learned something from, it was worth it. These craft and scrapbook resolutions are attainable, have a goal in mind and are a lot more fun to accomplish than losing the ten pounds or cleaning the house. I’m actually looking forward to accomplishing them instead of dreading the process. The crafty button has been reset for the year, and I’m inspired.

and it shall be done for you. 8) By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.” So what does abide mean? If we look at the Greek, we see that it means, “to stay; in a given place, state, relation or expectancy.” This suggests an ongoing close and personal relationship with Him with expectations from this relationship...from Him and from us. And how do we stay close and find His will for our
life? Prayer! Prayer is one of the ways that God has given us in order to maintain our relationship with Him as well as for God to communicate specific directions and purpose for our lives. We know that people can’t survive in isolation from others for long periods of time. From a spiritual perspective, Christians need contact with God if there is to be a healthy spiritual life, too!
Godly character will put you in place to learn God’s plan which will put you in place to have a life better than you could have imagined. Here is the problem: People chase success apart from God. But if they would have allowed God to make them successful for His glory, they would have lived on satisfaction instead of novelty. Ecclesiastes 5:7 says, “For in a multitude of dreams there is futility and worthlessness…but reverently fear God and worship Him knowing that He is.” Ephesians 2:10 says, “We are God’s workmanship created in Christ Jesus to do good works which God
prepared in advance for us to do.” You will never truly live until you get into God’s perfect will for your life and find the “works” He has prepared for you. Stability is priceless. You can always tell a person’s walk with God by their stability. Spending time with God and developing His nature in your life produces stability. God’s plan is the only stable, safe, and fulfilling dream there is. What’s the benefit you ask? Eternal life, joy unspeakable and full of glory, and above all you could ask or think! (1 Peter 1:8, Eph 3:20)
Scrapbooking Today Crafting Resolutions for 2012
By Anne Walterich Contributing Writer
This may come as a shock to you, but I have never kept a New Year’s Resolution. Ever. The pounds have not miraculously fallen off, the house has not been consistently cleaner and my finances are what they are in these difficult economic times. I’ve accumulated pounds, clutter and guilt, only to make the same empty promises to myself the next year. So, I went and made some more. This time, I’ve focused on my crafting goals for 2012. Why would I bother with these? I have a weekly deadline for a scrapbooking - related column that usually accompanies a project, I have blankets knitted and quilts quilted in time for the baby showers I’m invited to and most times I complete something new in time to display for the holi-
days. So why try to do more? First, I want to clear out my stash. Some people hoard old tools, cereal boxes and dead cats, but I can’t pass up a great deal or someone clearing out their own supplies, gratefully bestowing their crafty guilt upon me. I see so much potential in these little treasures that learning to say “No” is a difficult but necessary skill that I must use in 2012. My second goal is to finish all those projects I’ve put components aside to begin or are already in some state of completion. Many times, I’ve lost enthusiasm for something because I hate the products I’m using. That is something I can easily alter, so it’s important to actually identify why I no longer felt inspired to complete it. At the same time, I’ve also given myself permission to not finish those projects if I no longer want to, on the condition that I actually throw them away and not let the dust and scrappy guilt take up
space in my studio and in my head. The third, and most important thing to do is to BACK UP my computer, with all of its photos and digital scrapbooks supplies and layouts. In the event of a hard drive failure, I would lose treasured memories that, unlike supplies I can download again and layouts I can make again, I could not replace. I’m fairly consistent at backing up my photos and storing them on two hard drives : one I keep at home and one I keep off - site. I want to be doing this every 30 days, at least. That is only 12 backups a year; A realistic goal. Another necessary task is to star and label all of the photos on my computer that are just sitting in a file folder, losing context and taking up space. Google’s FREE Picasa software makes this easy, so instead of trying to figure out the celebrity blind items on “Crazy Days and Nights” I should
spend some time doing this instead. Next, I want to organize and digitize all of the photos in my house. Though mine are sorted, safely stored and labeled, Jim’s are not. In case of a flood, fire or other natural disaster, there is no backup for his family memories. Preserving the traditional film photos in a digital format may take more than a year, but I can make a significant and tangible dent in it for 2012. If anything, getting those photos OUT of the plastic bins and magnetic albums and into acid-free storage boxes will reduce their deterioration. Since I had so much fun with the “December Daily” project, I’m making sure to take a photo a day. I’m not sure if this will turn into a “Project 365” or a 52 - week “Project Life” album, but I’m learning to see the beauty in the ordinary and want to create simple digital layouts with these photos.
Keeping the Faith Dear Pastor, why is prayer so important?
By Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church of Chautauqua County
There are many well educated Christians who spend long hours studying the Word of God. Some of them have even studied Hebrew and Greek, the dominant Biblical languages, and can read and recite many scriptures in these original languages. While this is admirable and to be respected, it’s not the only, nor should it be the dominant aspect of knowing God. How
can I say this? Because it is not just knowing OF God, but having a personal and intimate relationship WITH Him that matters in our Christian life. In John 15:4 Jesus declares, “Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.” The Bible also tells us in Luke 4:41, “Moreover, demons came out of many people, shouting, “You are the Son of God!” But He rebuked them
and would not allow them to speak, because they knew He was the Christ.” Even the demons know about Jesus but are obviously not submitted to Jesus as their Lord and Savior. So you can see from these scriptures that its not enough to just know about Him, we must seek to abide in Him. So how do we abide in God? If we look further along in John 15 (5:7-8) we see the answer… “If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire,
Weekly Word Vain Dreams
Rev. Tim Stahlman Family Church of the Southern Tier
A person is destroyed by his own aspirations when they say in their heart, “I must
accomplish this to be happy.” A personal dream or desire is dangerous when your joy depends on it coming to pass. So many people chase their dreams only to find disappointment when it finally happens. Ambition comes with a great likelihood of let down: When you achieve your own dream you will find a momentary happiness. But you will quickly learn that the happiness fades because novelty cannot give a lasting deep seated satisfaction. It’s like a burning piece of paper: It has an instant flash and is warm for a moment but it cannot heat you to the core. Why
does this describe so many lives that are unfulfilled? I will tell you why: They didn’t pursue God’s plan for their life. God and His Word is the only source of fulfillment. God’s plans have satisfaction and lasting joy already built in. Have you ever seen somebody who runs from one novel idea to another? They run from one relationship to another seeking fulfillment but never find it. They buy one thing after another but aren’t happy. Some people get married thinking that an expensive party will launch them into a lifetime of happiness. It doesn’t. People start busi-
nesses to follow a dream only to find frustration. What typically happens next? They find people who can relate to their own failure seeking sympathy. They immerse themselves in a media that makes billions selling sadness. It’s amazing what people will pay to listen to somebody singing depressing songs or telling sad stories. People of broken dreams seek more popular people of broken dreams. It’s a good thing movie stars know how to act: How else would they convince us that they’re happy? Fact: Instead of pursuing dreams you should pursue godliness in your character.

Q&A
Hide the trash to protect pet Q: My son brought his dog home for Christmas, and things went pretty well. The only exception: The dog wouldn’t stay out of the kitchen trash bin. My son says it’s a problem at home, too. Punishment hasn’t helped. What will? — via email A: Pets who rummage in bathroom or kitchen wastebaskets are engaging in a habit that’s very rewarding, which makes the behavior more difficult to change. After all, the goodies from the kitchen trash (food!) and bathroom trash (“used” paper products) are just about as appealing as can be imagined to a foraging pet. But aside from the annoyance of cleaning up after garbage raids, this habit can have serious health implications. The cat who ingests string from a roast or ribbon from gift wrapping may need surgery to remove the item. And dogs can end up with blockages that also need to be surgically removed, or with deadly bouts of pancreatitis or peritonitis. And even if the worst never happens, you’re bound to be dealing with the extremely nasty aftereffects of a garbage run — vomiting and diarrhea. So, yes, this is one habit that needs to be broken. While you can booby-trap garbage cans — for example, by putting a pyramid of empty soda cans with pennies in them — it’s really more effective to retrain yourself instead. Put garbage cans behind closed doors: under the sink in the bathroom, and behind a pantry door in the kitchen. What about lidded cans? I’ve used a pair of them (one for recycling, one for garbage) in my kitchen for years with great success. That is, until one day my youngest dog stepped on the pedal, possibly by accident, and the resulting “light bulb moment” meant lidded cans were no longer safe! — Gina Spadafori Do you have a pet question?

Shortages of large-animal veterinarians have become critical in many parts of the country. • The continued boom in pet ownership is having ill effects down on the farm, as veterinarians are increasingly drawn to practices that care for dogs and cats. Only 10 percent of students entering U.S. veterinary schools pursue large-animal practice, says the American Veterinary Medical Association. Treating pets generally means better working conditions, shorter commutes and fewer on-call nights. Fewer largeanimal veterinarians is seen as a concern not only for the animals who need care, but also for issues of public health, since veterinarians help to keep the food supply safer. • Cats are notorious for not drinking enough water, and their near-chronic state of dehydration contributes to kidney and bladder problems. Getting cats to drink more can be a key to better health, but you may not need to offer purified water (as is sometimes suggested) to do so. A clinician’s brief put out by the North American Veterinary Conference suggests that cats like tap water just fine, in fact, choosing it over purified water in a small study. • Parrots are attracted to the sound of their own voice, or at least one similar. A study found that female budgerigars prefer mates who sound like themselves. Although the parrots have an ability to imitate other voices, the study shows that female parrots are most attracted to the male if he naturally sounds like her at their first meeting, before any imitation is done. The findings also highlighted the greater help males will give to nesting females if her sound is similar to his. — Mikkel Becker and Dr. Marty Becker

Dunkirk Continues To Roll, Wins Frewsburg Tournament By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor
The Dunkirk boys basketball team shook off a sluggish start last week to knock off the host Bears at the Frewsburg Holiday Tournament. While the win gave Dunkirk an in-season championship, it was a dominating second half performance that could go a long way for the Marauders this season. Dunkirk trailed 25-23 at halftime but put away the Bears early on a flurry of three-pointers from Mike Donaldson, Elon DeJesus and Kevin Holmes en route to a 70-54 victory. Holmes finished with 22 points and six rebounds, Donaldson had 12 and five assists and DeJesus had 11 points, while the three combined to make eight three pointers. The three-headed offensive weapon has done plenty of damage this year. While Dunkirk lost a lot of scoring to graduation last season, there were worries the Marauders would struggle to score consistently. For the most part, that notion has been squashed. Whether it’s been those three or Josh Mleczko or Evan Ahlstrom, head coach Jerome Moss has found a nice rotation and is finding consistent ways to score. In addition, those five seniors give Dunkirk a nice blend of experience and believe it or not, this team might be just as good as last year’s 19-1 squad before it’s all said and done. Anyhow, the win was Dunkirk’s third in a row since losing a tough game to Olean and the win capped

off the two-day tournament after beating Brocton the previous night, 65-36. There, they were led by another different player, this time junior Marquel Ruiz who scored 14. Holmes had 11 and DeJesus had 10, but the Marauders were never really threatened and cruised to a victory. It was Wednesday night’s game that might be a stepping-stone for them. Now, Dunkirk (5-1, 2-1) begins a heavy dose of league play that will start Thursday night against Gowanda (1-6, 0-2). They’ll have archrival Fredonia a week from Thursday, but will also have non-divisional foe Lake Shore in between. For Brocton, the Bulldogs (2-2) erased their difficult game the night before and came out and crushed Falconer 67-49 to win the consolation game of the tournament. Again it was Jordan Patterson leading the way for Brocton with 14 points, five assists and four steals. Patterson had 16 points against Dunkirk and has done a pretty good job of scoring the basketball for Brocton this year. Meanwhile, Dan Ferguson had 17 points and Devon Austin had 15 points as the Bulldogs made a season-high nine three-pointers in the win. It will be a busy week for Brocton who is the only team in Chautauqua Cattaraugus Athletic Association (CCAA) IV yet to play a division game. They played Panama Tuesday night and will play Sherman Thursday and North Collins Monday. All three of those games are CCAA IV games.
Red Raiders Winning Streak Snapped, Begin Divisional Play By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor
Even the first loss of the season couldn’t bring down head coach Ben Drake’s feelings on the start of the 2011-12 campaign for the Jamestown Red Raiders boys basketball team. But, after five straight wins and a good team-building experience in New York City, it’s tough to blame him. “If you would have told me a few weeks ago we would be 5-1 at this point,” Drake said. “I’d take it in a heartbeat. With the schedule we’ve had, with a bunch of quality teams on it, I feel really good about where we’re at.” The Red Raiders are at 5-1 following a second place finish at the Slam Dunk Tournament at the Westchester County Civic Center.
Jamestown defeated Kennedy Catholic 79-72 behind a strong all-around performance that had five different Red Raiders in double figures. Adam Cecchini led all scorers with 24 points and Kevin Diaz added 20. Leading scorer Tommy Campion was held to 11 points, but the less scoring Campion has to do, the better Jamestown has been. “Adam and Kevin had great nights Wednesday,” Drake said. “We need to get contributions like that every night from these guys if we want to be a really good team.” Unfortunately, the next night was the exact opposite. Kingston (5-0) took it to Jamestown inside and won 6751. This time around, only Campion was in double figures, as the junior guard kept Jamestown afloat with a game-high 26 points. Cecchini had seven points and Brandon Kellam
added six, but Jamestown struggled throughout and trailed by 20 at the end of the third quarter. “Kingston has a very good team,” Drake said. “And a lot of it had to do with their defense. We’re asking a lot of guys to play in roles they’ve never had to play before.” Don’t forget Jamestown lost three starters the previous year and one of the new players breaking in is sophomore forward Quinn Lee Yaw. He struggled with just three points and fought some foul trouble in Thursday’s game, but did have 10 points the previous night and has been a bright spot for Jamestown so far. “We were hurt inside a little bit,” Drake said. “We have some young forwards and at this point they just need to get more experience. Hopefully playing against this good of competition will prepare them for
what we have coming up.” The schedule should ease up a little bit for Jamestown, as they probably won’t see a team of Kingston’s caliber until playoff time. They played Williamsville North Wednesday night (Jan. 4) but the game was after printing. That game was a key rematch of Starling Taplin, the sensational sophomore for Will. North who single-handedly gave Jamestown their last Section VI loss last Feb. 8. But, it will be a busy week. They have a quick turnaround and play at Sweet Home Friday night and go back home to play Frontier Tuesday (Jan. 10). “We are going to keep getting better,” Drake said. “We have plenty of work to do over these next two months, but we just want to make sure we’re playing our best basketball come March.”

High School Roundup: Dunkirk Girls Return To Court After Long Break

By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor
The Dunkirk Lady Marauders had an extended winter break and haven’t played since Dec. 19. But, they’ll have a busy week upcoming with road games against Pine Valley Wednesday night (after publishing) and again against Gowanda Thursday night. It’s another two games next week Lake Shore and Fredonia and is a good test for Dunkirk, who is off to a pretty good start this season. • Dunkirk’s main competition in CCAA I is Southwestern. The Lady Trojans moved to 7-1 after winning the Jock Shop Shootout in Jamestown. They beat Sherman 52-51 in overtime in a game that featured two of the best players in the county, let alone of all of Section VI. Tournament MVP Jennie Thies scored another 23 points — right around her average — but passed up the final shot to a wide-open Leslie Bamburoski for the game-winning basket. Sherman’s Elle Reed, though, led all scorers with 25 points. The junior point guard had another 20 points the night before as Sherman beat Ellicottville 42-37. Boys Basketball: Panama Leaves New York, Loses Two At Iroquois After an impressive 5-0 start, the Panama Panthers headed west into Erie, Pa. for the Iroquois Tournament, but came up empty losing a pair of games which were its first and second of the season. Despite trailing by one heading into the fourth quarter, they lost to Harbor Creek 58-45 in the semi-final of the tournament based on a poor shooting night. The Panthers shot just 31 percent (14-for-45) and didn’t go a good enough job on the glass to stay close. They really struggled in the last eight minutes to get buckets. Nick Lenart had 17 points and Zach Lubi had 13 points, but both were 4-for-13 from the field. It was another struggle in the second half the following night as the Panthers trailed Iroquois by just two points after halftime but struggled mightily in the third quarter and were outscore 25-9. Again Lenart carried the bulk of the offense for Pan-
ama. He had 26 points and shot it well from everywhere, including exceptionally well outside (4-for-8). But, Iroquois, who remarkably scored just 22 points the night before exploded in the second half and finished off Panama 61-45. • Cassadaga Valley stayed hot by winning their third and fourth in a row by claiming its own Holiday Tournament. Head coach Rich Clifford seemed to make a commitment to defense as the Cougars held their opponents to 75 points in two games. The Cougars (4-3) opened with a 51-35 win over Clymer in the opener behind Kyle Pfeiffer’s 28 points. Dustin Schauman added 18 and grabbed 17 rebounds. It’s sort of been a two-man show for Cassadaga Valley, at least offensively, lately and it was no different that night. A little more offense came through the following night at Cassadaga Valley claimed the championship over Westfield, 56-40. Pfeiffer had 17 and Schauman had 15, but Mike Lanphere scored a season-high 14 points. • For Westfield (4-2), it was just their second loss of the season with the championship loss to Cassadaga. The previous night, Austin Alonge poured in a careerhigh 36 points as Westfield cruised past Oracle Charter. But, Alonge was held in check against Cassadaga and scored just 16 points. Westfield trailed 28-11 at halftime and despite a strong start to the second half, couldn’t come within five points of the Cougars. • Chautauqua Lake (3-6) snapped a three-game losing streak Tuesday night with a 31-25 win over Forestville. It was their third straight game without top player Jason McMahon, but the Thunderbirds got it done on the defensive end to secure their second win against Forestville this season. Sophomore Ian Clute led the way with 14 points and nine rebounds and Cody Thomas chipped in eight points. They lost each of their two games over the winter break at Southwestern’s Tournament held at Jamestown Community College. They lost to Southwestern 56-52 despite having six players score at least six points. They lost the next night to Sherman 46-30.

Bills Re-building Process Still In Order
Chris Winkler COMMENTARY
In hindsight, how bad is 6-10? I’ll be the first one to tell you the Bills pulled another miraculous choke job after starting the season 5-2. But, considering just how low the talent level was, six wins is still at least a step in the right direction. OK, no playoffs in 12 years. OK, this is the fourth straight year Buffalo finished in last place in the AFC East. OK, going 1-8 over the last nine games of the year doesn’t exactly qualify as momentum going forward into next season. But, there are some positives as Chan Gailey heads into his third season as the headman in Buffalo. d ere, Start with an offensive line ell that has been downright inferior for basically the last decade. They allowed the k- fewest sacks in the NFL and the were 13th in rushing yardhe age. But, they paved the way off for the league’s leading rusher before Fred Jackson went hotdown. After that, the Bills d had to pass quite a bit down ng the stretch if you recall. ent. The best part is this unit features young, high-end t- draft picks in center Eric u- Wood (first) and guards to Andy Levitre (second) and Kraig Urbik (third). All are d 26 years old or younger. - Those are nice building blocks. Meanwhile, the team has le18 gitimate weapons in Jackson It’sand receiver Stevie Johnson. how Johnson was the first Bills ast player to ever post back-toas back 1,000-yard receiving campaigns. e Granted, both have tenuht ous futures, but it’s hard to ed imagine this management — regardless of a horrendous had track record — would let either of these players go. da Johnson is an interesting case, though. He’s dropped as key passes and his track he record of 15-yard penalties after touchdowns is really astonishing. I could go n either way, but when Ryan - Fitzpatrick said he “needed d his top receiver back,” I was er. convinced. Certainly, Johnson isn’t the and lone reason this team can t- get to the next level, but I ime think he’s part of the puzzle. ’t For an organization lacking f pro bowl caliber players, letting a 25-year-old asset walk because you don’t like his attitude is ridiculous. Not the ing notion, but the principle. a The New England Patriots . It can do that. A team in the me midst of a 12-year playoff drought cannot. e Anyhow, C.J. Spiller proved eir some worth and while you - might not want to justify that No. 9 pick just yet, his last six games seemed to the jumpstart the youngster’s ne career. He rushed for 446 mas yards, caught 24 passes and had five total TD’s in those o six. For a team that didn’t ak do much rushing late in the season, those aren’t bad numbers at all. y A bigger devotion to the run 2 is needed. I know that’s not Gailey’s forte, but if they’re hey not getting blown out, I’d - like to think they run more. Fitzpatrick clearly has some
noticeable flaws, but 3,832 passing yards and 24 touchdowns is not the reason this team missed the playoffs. Granted some of that yardage was in garbage time, but so were some of those 23 interceptions. He’s not Aaron Rodgers or Drew Brees, but this offense is not the reason they missed the playoffs. These guys aren’t MVPtypes, but they’re capable of putting together one of the league’s better offenses. As is, the Bills finished 14th in total offense while losing arguably their two most important pieces in Jackson and Wood midway through the year. Statistically they were better (by a lot) than three playoff teams (Cincinnati, Denver and San Francisco). The problem, though, is the defense. The Bills took a decent first step to correcting a unit that finished 26th in yards allowed and 30th in points allowed by firing coordinator George Edwards. To be fair, Edwards wasn’t exactly blessed with the best personnel in the league, but at some point you need to try something new to slow teams down. Besides, in two years, did you see any progression from anybody in the front seven? Nick Barnett was a stopgap. The jury is still out on Marcell Dareus and Kelvin Sheppard. Anybody else do anything for you? And if you thought the front seven was bad, what did you think of the secondary? The good news is Dave Wannstedt will take over as defensive coordinator. Wannstedt really doesn’t have a glowing résumé — a common misconception — but the 59-year-old veteran coach should certainly benefit this team more by being in charge. Besides, didn’t anybody else find it odd that Wannstedt was the assistant head coach, but was still lower than Edwards on the defensive staff? Anyhow, Wannstedt is traditionally a 4-3 guy and Gailey hinted a change was in the works, but would still be “evaluated”. If the Bills do switch to the 4-3, I don’t think they’re too far off. The lone two assets on defense are Dareus and Kyle Williams. Having those two guys in the middle would have to shore up the run game. They were off to a decent start of that before Williams went down early in the season anyhow. Next, they need to draft any defensive player with the No. 10 pick. I think Alabama’s Dre Kirkpatrick, a physical cornerback, is the best fit. But, he might not fall to the Bills. If he doesn’t, Arizona State linebacker Vontaze Burfict would be my pick. Regardless though, it’s imperative the Bills hit on this pick and hope the defense can start making strides. I honestly think this team is at least a .500 team if the defense is much improved in 2012. I won’t sit here and tell you Fitzpatrick can get this team to a Super Bowl, but I do think playoffs are in the near future with a re-tooled, if not overhauled defense. But, some pieces are certainly in place now to get close. Besides, it’s been 12 full seasons without one playoff game. I think we’d all settle for even being in the race come December. And that, I don’t think, is far away.

While playing in the YMCA tournament, Erickson was approached by Syracuse University, which had been scouting him in both basketball and football. He accepted a scholarship to Syracuse and was then sent to Folk Union Military Academy in Virginia. He excelled in his one year at Folk Union Military Academy, considered one of the top prep schools in the country. He was named an all-state end in football and an all-state forward in basketball while winning state titles in both sports. During the post-season in basketball, Folk Union played Durham High School in the finals of the Washington & Lee University Southern Atlantic Prep Tournament in Lexington, Virginia, and lost one of their few games to a team that had won around 60 straight contests. Among the players for Durham was Bones McKinney, who was a very successful coach at Wake Forest.

Unfortunately, an injury suffered in softball that summer kept him from getting that opportunity to try out for the Steelers and a shot at making the National Football League. Among the volunteer work that Erickson was involved in was to raise money for the Duke University Children's Hospital. Also he was involved with the Sertoma Club. Erickson also played semi-pro basketball for the Richmond Barons, comprised of players from various Virginia colleges. Robert M. Erickson was inducted into the Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame in 2002.

TEEING OFF
First things first The rules of golf can get pretty complicated, but there are a few things every golfer should know that will make it easier to play the game. To determine who plays first off the first tee, flip a coin or toss a tee. After that, the order of play at each tee is determined by what’s called “honors”: The player with the lowest score on the previous hole hits first, the next lowest hits second and so on. If everyone makes the same score, the order is the same as it was on the previous tee. After teeing off, if you’re farthest from the hole, you’re “away,” so you hit first. Once you hit your ball from the teeing ground, it’s in play and you can’t do anything that improves the lie of your ball, such as breaking or ripping up anything fixed or growing. Not that you would ever do such a thing, but I’ll bet you know people who would, so there is a rule against it. If you’re playing “real” golf, play your ball as you find it and move it only by hitting it with your club or in accordance with the rules. One such rule applies to the putting green, where you’re allowed to lift and clean your ball after you’ve marked it. To be on the safe side, don’t touch the line of your putt except to fix a ball mark or to remove loose impediments like a leaf or anything man-made. There are times when you don’t have to swing at the ball to improve your position. Let’s say your ball is stuck in a bush or a deep rut made by a maintenance vehicle. There’s no way you can hit your ball out of either situation, so by rule, you can take what’s called a drop. There are two kinds of drops: a free drop and a penalty drop. When you take a penalty drop, you must add a stroke to your score, but you’re entitled to two club lengths’ relief. You would take a penalty drop from an unplayable lie, such as the bush mentioned above. Since you had no business being in the bush it costs you to lift it out of there. When the drop is free — say you’re in ground under repair, like the tire track, which shouldn’t be there in the first place — you get only one club length’s relief, but it doesn’t cost you a stroke to move the ball. Before you lift your ball, always mark its position with a tee and leave the tee in the ground until after you’ve hit the shot. If someone questions your procedure, then you can prove exactly what you did and, of course, never speak to that person again. Note: At no time can you drop or place your ball closer to the hole.
BIRDIES AND BOGEYS
IT’S GOOD FOR YOUR GAME
A model swing: A quiet shaft There is only one time in the golf swing when both arms are straight, and that occurs just after impact when the shaft is parallel to the target line and the toe of the club points to the sky. It’s the eighth stop in our list of 11 key swing positions that players can use as a model to judge their own swings. To reach this position correctly and repeatedly, the club handle rotates very little around the long axis that runs through the shaft. This rotation can also be thought of as the clubface closing speed. A high speed here makes it harder to control the angle of the face through impact, while a low rotation of the shaft means there is more consistency and control. Thus, a quiet shaft with as little rotation around its own axis as possible is the key to consistency. You can have a quiet shaft by swinging your chest, arms and club as a unit with silent hands, i.e., wrists that cock up and down, but do not roll. Staying with the auditory analogy, rolling is noisy while cocking is silent. When you “unitize” your swing motion, your hands retain their position relative to the rest of your body and to your clubface. It may appear to the observer as if the clubface is opening and closing in relation to the path of the clubhead, and in overmanipulated swings this is true. But in a good

During both your backswing and downswing, the tee should remain on top of the shaft. Stop your swing at each of the following points to make sure that it does: 1. At the end of your takeaway, where your club is parallel to the ground, the tee points up. 2. Halfway into your downswing, where the club is parallel to the ground, the tee is up. 3. At impact, the tee is up. 4. The point after impact where your club shaft is parallel with the ground, the tee points up. These tee-up positions are maintained by the correct setting of the wrists, a move that keeps the clubhead in front of you and delivers it to the top with a square clubface. Your wrist cock should develop in response to the momentum of the swinging clubhead. If it doesn’t, you have to make it happen in practice until you train yourself to “let” it happen.
At the end of the takeaway, and again halfway into the downswing, the club is parallel to the ground and the tee in your grip points to the sky.
Here, just after impact, with the club shaft parallel to the ground, the tee is pointing skyward, just as the toe of your club is when both arms are straight.
Despot champion The recently deceased president of North Korea, Kim Jong-Il, was said to have a long list of Superman-like talents, including golf skill that dwarfed even Tiger Woods. Kim Jong-Il once shot a 24 with five holes-in-one, according to his publicist. The 24 was his nine-hole score (24 for 18 holes would be ridiculous), so he was well on track to break 50, surely a record for despots — and far better than the 125 Fidel Castro shot in a match with Che Guevara.
High-flying Tseng still under the AP’s radar The Associated Press yanked on Yani Tseng’s Superwoman cape and chose Abby Wambach as its Female Athlete of the Year.

Par
Par is the number of times it takes an expert to hit the ball from the teeing ground into the hole. A normal golf course has 18 different holes, consisting of a mix of par 3s, 4s and 5s. Unless you’re an expert, you’ll most often be “over par.” When you take one stroke more than par, you’ve made a bogey; two strokes over and it’s a double bogey, and so on. If you take one stroke less than par, you’ve made a birdie (that’s good), two strokes less is an eagle (terrific), three less is a double eagle (better call your agent). If your tee shot goes in the hole, that’s known as a hole-inone — and the drinks are on you.
SCIENCE CORNER
QUOTE OF THE WEEK
“It was definitely the point where I reached the crossroads in my career where I could keep going the wrong way or really take responsibility for myself and say, ‘Right, this is what I’ve got to do to get better and win and improve as a player.’” — Rory McIlroy, commenting on that Sunday at Augusta last spring when he shot 80 after being the 54-hole leader.
Happiness is reward for sweet success Knowing the role emotions play in learning allows you to build a potent golf database of the things you do well. In a study of the brain’s learning process, Harvard Medical School neurobiologist Mark H. Histed found, “In order to learn, you need to remember what you did before and whether that action was beneficial or not.” The activity of the neurons he studied was grooved by the delivery of a reward when the subject did something well. Withholding reward on failure thinned out the neural connections. One type of reward is the emotion of happiness.
It is a prime-time marker of behavior, and when you’re happy about doing something well, pleasure chemicals called endorphins are released, acting as the brain’s “peppermint patty” reward system. The more times you emotionalize an event, the faster and more vividly you’ll remember it, so be careful how you react to your experiences on the golf course. To run your own brain effectively and control your emotions, recognize that with some practice, you can use your emotions to mark events as they best serve you.

Q: I’m not sure when I should cock my wrists. Are there any rules about this? — D.J. A: Assuming normal flexibility and an average body build, when your hands reach waist high, the front arm and wrist should retain the straight-line relationship they had at address. Since the wrists have yet to elevate the clubhead, the club shaft, at this point, is parallel to the ground. Additionally, you should check to make sure the shaft is directly above your toe line — an extension of an imaginary line formed by the tips of your toes that is parallel to the target line.

What’s the proper procedure for marking a ball on the putting green when the player who’s away asks you to move your mark? First, mark the ball as you usually do (with a small coin behind the ball) and then ask the player which way he or she wants it moved. Once that has been established, proceed as follows: Pick out an immovable object (as close to you as possible) that is in the direction you need to move the marker. A sprinkler head or a tree is a likely candidate. Place the heel of your putter head on the side of the coin in line
a 90-degree angle between your front arm and the club shaft. The relationship between your club’s shaft and your front forearm that forms this angle is often termed “setting the angle” or, more simply, “cocking the wrists.” Some good players set this angle early in their backswings; others set it very late. Regardless of when it is set, this angle is a prerequisite of a powerful swing. The angle is created by moving your wrist so your thumb travels toward your body much as the hammer of a pistol would move as it is cocked.

Ironmen Miss Out On Sweep, Take Two Of Three From Traverse City
By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor
It was another productive weekend for the Jamestown Ironmen who just missed out on a three-game sweep over division rival Traverse City, but managed cruised to easy victories Friday and Saturday night. The four-point weekend was another step in the right direction as the Ironmen continue to stick around in the fight for the final playoff spot in the NAHL’s North Division. “We’re happy taking two out of three on any weekend,” head coach Dan Daikawa said. “We don’t want to lose any home games but three games in three days is always tough.” Eric Fragoso led the way Friday night in front of 903 fans as Jamestown won easy 5-1. Fragoso’s goal late in the first period broke a scoreless tie. Goals from Nick Bingaman and Jeff McFarland put the game away in the second. But it was another strong day from Joey Ballmer in between the pipes as the goaltender stopped 31 of 32 shots, allowing his only goal against the power play with three minutes left in a 5-0 game. “You know we talk to Division I schools every week,” Daikawa said. “He’s still on their list. He’s one of those guys you want to see succeed. He’s a great teammate, a great friend. Everybody in the community knows who he is because he puts himself out there. Hopefully it all leads to a great opportunity for him and a Division 1 scholarship.” It was more of the same the next night as a couple of goals from Fragoso and a dominant performance from Ballmer gave Jamestown a 4-0 lead heading to the third period.

City got the better of Jamestown in the final stanza, but it was still an easy 4-2 win giving the Ironmen a nice cap to the end of 2011. Fragoso scored four goals on the weekend, tripling his goal total on the year. “From day one, we’ve said Eric’s a kid that might have the most skill on this team,” Daikawa said. “Maybe even the whole league. He has to find his way to play and he has to play every single game. If he plays hard, the sky is the limit for him.” The Ironmen almost wrapped up a perfect weekend Sunday, but let a two-goal lead slip away. The North Stars fought back from a 2-0 deficit to tie the game heading into the third period.
After McFarland put Jamestown back ahead early in the third, Traverse City came alive, tying the game a few minutes later and eventually winning it around the four-minute mark. “Again, we’ll take two out of any weekend,” Daikawa said. “But we had a two-nothing lead and a chance to put our foot down a little bit and didn’t. It’s tough mentally and physically to play three games in three days but it’s tough to lose leads like that. A loss is a loss, but in general, we’re happy with two out of three.” Fortunately the long weekend came at a good time. While the rest of the league hits the ice, the Ironmen will be off this weekend for the third time in the past six weeks.
“We have some young guys who have never played 60 games before,” Daikawa said. “So in that sense, it’s a good thing. But we played pretty good this weekend and I’d like to be back at it. We’ll work on some things though, it will help.” Daikawa gave the team the day off Monday before going back to full pads and contact Tuesday. “We used to be optional on Monday and sort of mess around on Tuesday,” Daikawa said. “Not anymore, we’re full contact Tuesday and it seems to be working. We’ll continue to go hard the rest of the year. The extra hitting did lead to an injury, as Daikawa admitted will happen. Backup goaltender Joe Gladnick dislocated his shoulder and missed the entire weekend. He’s been cleared to get back on the ice this week and should be back in the lineup when Jamestown visits Janesville (Ill.) next week. In the meantime, Jamestown signed Sean Keating as an emergency goalie. “Gladnick is just one of those guys who doesn’t know how to go half-speed,” Daikawa said. “It was safer to let him rehab a little bit and stay off the ice.” The other encouraging note this weekend was the attendance. The Ironmen staff announced an official attendance of 2,103 throughout the entire weekend with Friday’s 903 as the highest of the season. Jamestown has just 12 home games left this season and next return home to play Port Huron Jan. 20. “People are realizing it’s good hockey,” Daikawa said. “We’ve really tried to get involved with the community and with youth hockey and I think people in town are starting to buy into it, which is neat to see.”

Giants Rip Cowboys, Win NFC East, No. 4 Seed By Tom Canavan Associated Press
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — After the Giants missed the playoffs the past two years with late-season collapses, coach Tom Coughlin implored his team to “finish” this season. Eli Manning made sure they did it in style. Manning threw three touchdown passes, including a momentum-grabbing 74-yarder to rising star Victor Cruz, and the Giants claimed the final spot in the NFL playoffs, beating the Cowboys 31-14 on Sunday night to win the NFC East. “We’ve had a lot of ups and down, but when our team needed it most we responded,” said Cruz, who capped his team-record setting season with six catches for 178 yards. “We were able to keep levelheaded when we were on the four-game skid.” New York (9-7) won three of its final four games for their 65-year-old coach and earned a wild-card game at home next Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons (10-6). The Giants, who opened
the season 6-2, haven’t won a playoff game since beating the-then unbeaten New England Patriots in the Super Bowl in February 2008. However, they seem to be peaking much as they did at the end of that regular season. Linebacker Mathias Kiwanuka believes the Giants are capable of making another run after dominating an all-or-nothing game that left Cowboys owner Jerry Jones frustrated. “There is no doubt,” Kiwanuka said. “That’s what we are setting ourselves up for. We went a roundabout way of doing it, but once you’re in, you’re in.” The Cowboys (8-8) are out after losing four of their final five games in their first full season under coach Jason Garrett. “It’s extremely painful and it’s a damn shame,” Jones said. “We have a good team and I thought we would be going to the playoffs, but that didn’t happen. We have to be able to take some of the good with the bad and move on. We did a lot of good things this year, but to point to one thing why this happened would be subjective. We’re 8-8 and we have to be better than that.” Dallas was its own worst enemy with the season on
big plays and salsa celebrations, came through again. Cruz boxed-out cornerback Orlando Scandrick on 44yard third-down jump-ball catch and caught another for 20 yards to set up a 28-yard Lawrence Tynes’ field goal. Manning iced the Giants’ second win over Dallas in four weeks with a 4-yard TD pass to Hakeem Nicks with 3:41 to play. “I knew we were going to fight and keep playing until the end, I feel good about the way we’re handling the ups and downs, and it comes down to finishing,” Manning New York Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw (No. 44) evades a tackle by Dallas Cowboys Sean Lee to score on a 10-yard touch- said after throwing for 346 down pass. Bradshaw also had a rushing touchdown. (AP Photo/ yards and no interceptions. Bill Kostroun) The Giants’ defense sacked said Romo, who finished 29 the line. It missed tackles on Romo six times, with Osi of 37 for 289 yards and one all three of the Giants’ three Umenyiora making two of interception. “Either you win first-half touchdowns, failed them in his return to the to recover two fumbles within or you go home.

the Giants’ best game of the season, Coughlin’s team put together another outstanding 30 minutes in jumping to a 21-0 halftime lead. Cruz, who sparked the win over the Jets’ with a teamrecord 99-yard touchdown, made another monster play on the Giants’ second offensive series, turning a short pass into points. He caught a short square out, eluded a tackle by Terence Newman, turned the corner after getting a seal block from Nicks and outraced two defenders down the sideline in front of the Giants’ bench for a 7-0 lead. Bradshaw stretched the lead to 14-0 with a 5-yard run in the second quarter on a play in which safety Abram Elam missed a tackle in the backfield. Bradshaw also scored on a 10-yard pass just before halftime when linebacker Bradie James also missed a tackle. “The best teams win when games are on the line,” Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee said. “We had to do a better job than this. Any time you have a chance to win a championship and you don’t get it done, it’s devastating.”
Broncos Lose To Chiefs, But Make Playoffs With 8-8 Record By Arnie Stapleton Associated Press
DENVER (AP) — Tim Tebow had plenty more gaffes — and one last laugh. Despite a second straight dismal performance and two more turnovers by Tebow, the Broncos were celebrating a trip to the playoffs Sunday after losing 7-3 to Kyle Orton and the Kansas City Chiefs. Their six-year playoff drought is history. Even though Tebow completed just 6 of 22 passes for 60 yards, killed a promising drive with a red zone fumble and capped an awful afternoon with an interception in the waning seconds, he’s the one preparing for the playoffs while Orton regroups from a trying season and gets ready for free agency. Tebow couldn’t beat the guy he couldn’t beat out in training camp. “It’s obviously a little bittersweet right now,” Tebow said. “We would have loved to have won that game to have a little momentum going into the playoffs. But I think it’s still a special thing what we accomplished, to come back and win the AFC West is very special.” Orton outperformed Tebow every time they were on the football field together, from training camp through
Sunday’s season finale. In between, however, Orton caved under the weight of Tebowmania and was benched by the Broncos before being released and grabbed off waivers by the Chiefs. Orton had laid low all week but he finally admitted after the game that this game had special meaning to him, even though it was for pride and payback and not the playoffs. “I can’t hide that,” he said. “But I congratulate those guys. They’re in. I congratulate them and I look forward to next year.” The Broncos (8-8) will face the Pittsburgh Steelers (12-4) Sunday at Mile High, their first home playoff game since Ben Roethlisberger beat Jake Plummer in the AFC title game following the 2005 season. “We go out there and perform like we did the past three weeks, we don’t stand a chance,” Champ Bailey said. “We’ve got to get better.” In a hurry. Tebow has turned the ball over seven times in Denver’s three-game losing streak and the Broncos haven’t managed a single takeaway since they beat Chicago in overtime on Dec. 11 for their fourth straight fourth-quarter comeback. “We’ll, we’re AFC West champs,” Broncos coach John Fox retorted. “It doesn’t mat-

ter how you do it. Once you get into the dance, they can’t kick you out.” But you can get bounced pretty quickly, something the Broncos know is a strong possibility if they don’t get their act together. “Everything is mediocre,” Bailey said. “We’ve got to get better. If we want to make any kind of fuss in the playoffs, we’ve got to get better.” The Broncos begrudgingly congratulated Orton, then trudged off to the locker room, where they watched the San Diego Chargers finish off the Oakland Raiders 38-26. The Broncos, Raiders and
Chargers all finished 8-8, but Denver won the AFC West with a better record against common opponents. Orton, who also handed Green Bay its only loss, went 2-1 in Kansas City. His steady play likely raised his stock as he prepares to enter free agency. And he might have secured interim coach Romeo Crennel’s future. The Broncos saved $2.6 million by releasing Orton just before Thanksgiving, but he nearly made them pay an even heftier price for that decision, completing 15 of 29 passes for 180 yards against his former team and connecting with Dwayne Bowe six times for
93 yards before losing him for the second half with a suspected concussion. “Dwayne was on fire in the first half, and then to lose him for the rest of the game, that really hurt our offense,” Orton said. “I have the utmost respect for Champ Bailey, but Dwayne had him turning around in circles a couple times out there.” The Broncos lost two offensive starters in the first half when right guard Chris Kuper, the stalwart on an otherwise young line, broke his left leg and fullback Spencer Larsen hurt a knee. Kuper’s injury made Orton’s day bittersweet, too. “Chris Kuper is a very good friend of mine and to see what happened to him really put a damper on things,” Orton said. “He’s a great teammate, a great leader on that team and I hope he’s able to get back as soon as possible.” Neither QB had a great day. The game’s only touchdown came on Dexter McCluster’s 21-yard scamper in the first quarter, so this game was as much about the Punting Colquitt brothers, Dustin and Britton, as it was about Orton vs. Tebow. The Broncos’ only score came on Matt Prater’s 38-yarder in the third quarter, which followed Javier Arenas’ muffed
punt at his own 20. Tebow had one last shot at another miracle comeback when the Broncos got the ball at their 16 with just under a minute left. Because Fox had declined to go for a 57-yard field goal in the closing seconds of the first half — he was afraid a miss would set up the Chiefs for a double-digit halftime lead — the Broncos had to go 84 yards instead of just needing to get into range for another game-winner by Prater. Tebow, who had completed four passes all afternoon with the Broncos running 47 times for 216 yards, including 145 by Willis McGahee, suddenly had to chuck it. And he was intercepted by cornerback Brandon Carr with 8 seconds left. Had Denver not backed into the playoffs, boss John Elway’s dangerous decision to release Orton at midseason would have gone down as one of the biggest blunders in Broncos history. Instead, it was a footnote in the Broncos’ return to the postseason parade just one season after a franchise-worst 4-12 debacle. “Nobody said how you had to get in,” Broncos linebacker Mario Haggan said. “It’s what you do with the opportunity once you get there.”
Jets Season Ends With 19-17 Loss To Miami By Steven Wine Associated Press
MIAMI (AP) — Say this for the New York Jets: They went down fighting. Receiver and captain Santonio Holmes was benched following a squabble in the huddle late in the fourth quarter, and the Jets were eliminated from playoff contention Sunday when they lost to the Miami Dolphins 19-17. Mark Sanchez threw three interceptions, the last coming with the Jets threatening to take a late lead. New York gave up six third-down conversions during the Dolphins’ 21-play, 94-yard drive for their only touchdown. Holmes was held without a catch for the first time in
his 88-game career. He went to the sideline after arguing with teammates, and running back LaDainian Tomlinson said they were unhappy about Holmes’ effort, demeanor and body language. “It’s tough for guys to follow a captain that kind of behaves in that manner,” Tomlinson said. “You’ve got to lead by example, and you’ve got to play your tail off until the last play.” So goes the soap opera under coach Rex Ryan, who had guaranteed a Super Bowl title. Instead the Jets (8-8) finished the season with three consecutive defeats, a big step backward for a team that reached the AFC championship game each of the past two years. “I’m always going to chase the Super Bowl,” Ryan said. “I know I get criticized for it
beyond belief, but if you don’t, then you’re probably a loser, OK? I’m not a loser.” NFL active sacks leader Jason Taylor, playing his final game, harried Sanchez into an interception and was carried off the field after the game. It was a rare moment of celebration for the Dolphins (6-10), who completed their third consecutive losing season, their longest such stretch since the 1960s. They fired coach Tony Sparano on Dec. 12 and have begun the search for a successor. “Obviously we wanted more Ws,” quarterback Matt Moore said. “But there are a lot of positive things as well. It’s hard not to feel good after a win, especially against the Jets.” Another small consolation: Miami tied the NFL record for most wins after a 0-7 start.
While the Dolphins came together late in the season, the Jets fell apart. They went into the game needing a win along with losses by three other teams to earn a wild-card berth, but looked nothing like a playoff team. When asked if the effort in the finale was sufficient, cornerback Antonio Cromartie said: “Uh, maybe on one side of the ball.” On offense, there were issues. Following Holmes’ spat with teammates, he was replaced by Patrick Turner. “It was a coach’s call,” Holmes said. “Patrick came in and tapped me on the shoulder and told me to come out.” Ryan said he thought Holmes took himself out of the game. “I looked out there and was
wondering why he wasn’t out there,” the coach said. Said Tomlinson: “Whenever you don’t win, the problems you’re having start to creep in and peek their heads out.” After Turner caught a 10-yard touchdown pass, Miami recovered the ensuing onside kick and ran out the clock. Sanchez’s final misfire came moments earlier, at the Miami 10 with 3 minutes left and the Jets trailing 16-10. Reserve linebacker Marvin Mitchell stepped in front of intended receiver Shonn Greene and rumbled 55 yards to set up a field goal. “I’ve got to play better for us to win,” Sanchez said. “I can’t throw it to them three times.” Taylor, who said Wednesday he would retire at the end of
his 15th NFL season, played tailback in the Dolphins’ victory formation as Moore twice took a knee to run out the clock. “I’m the luckiest man in the world,” Taylor said. “For the last 15 years I’ve been able to play a kid’s game and get paid to do it.” The stands were perhaps half full, reflecting the disenchantment of Dolphins fans. Owner Stephen Ross drew jeers when he honored Taylor during a pregame ceremony, and a small plane overhead tugged a banner that called for the firing of general manager Jeff Ireland. “This whole season was a lesson for us,” cornerback Sean Smith said. “On paper, we were a very good team, but you have to prove it every Sunday.”

Down 21-0, Patriots Rally To Score 49 Unanswered To Crush Bills
By Howard Ulman Associated Press
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Big deficits don’t rattle Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. They just start playing better. Down by three touchdowns? Simply score the next 49 points and beat the Buffalo Bills 49-21. Trailing 17-0 a week earlier? Stay calm and come back for a 27-24 win over the Miami Dolphins. “You never want to get down 21-0,” Brady said after the Patriots did just that on Sunday. “But, if we do, we do and we have to find a way to battle back.” That’s what they did after the Bills scored touchdowns on their first three possessions. “There’s no panic,” Brady said. “I just feel like it’s really a matter of execution and we started executing better.” With the win, the Patriots (13-3) earned the AFC’s top seed for the second straight season and home-field advantage throughout the conference playoffs. They have a bye next weekend, giving them plenty of time to figure out how to avoid a rough start against a much tougher team than Buffalo and Miami, who both finished at 6-10. “We don’t want to be doing that,” Rob Gronkowski said. “It’s the playoffs now. We’ve got the best teams coming in the house.” Gronkowski caught two touchdown passes and set the NFL single-season record for tight ends with 1,327 yards receiving after gaining 108 on ball eight catches. That broke the mark of 1,310 set a earlier Sunday by Jimmy Graham of the New Orleans Saints. The previous record of 1,290 was set in 1980 by Kellen Winslow of the San to Diego Chargers. n first The record came on a 22-yard completion from s r d 4 By Jimmy Golen ng Associated Press er

backup Brian Hoyer with 1:30 left, a play that coach Bill Belichick called. “I thought he deserved another chance to go up and try to make another play,” Belichick said. “He’s had a great year and he’s worked hard. I thought he deserved that.” Brady also reached a milestone, finishing the regular season with the second most yards passing in NFL history, 5,235, after throwing for 338. Drew Brees, who last week broke Dan Marino’s record of 5,084 with the Miami Dolphins in 1984, added 389 Sunday for the Saints and ended with 5,486. “I play this game for one reason and that’s to win,” Brady said after the Patriots’ eighth straight victory. “It’s not something I ever (think), `Man, I love throwing touchdowns,’ or `I love throwing for yards.’ I love winning and that helps me sleep at night.” The Bills, their early season promise drowned
by a horrible second half, could have plenty of restless nights. They lost eight of their last nine games after starting at 5-2. “It was a big learning experience and next year it can’t be a learning experience for us,” quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick said. “It’s got to be a year we come out and play well all year. We’re going to have another offseason in the same system.” The Bills led a 21-0 on a 4-yard run by Tashard Choice and Fitzpatrick’s scoring passes of 18 yards to Stevie Johnson and 15 yards to C.J. Spiller. The Patriots made it 21-14 at halftime on a 1-yard run by BenJarvus Green-Ellis and a 39-yard pass play from Brady to Aaron Hernandez, who ran with the ball most of the way. New England cut that to 21-20 on field goals of 47 and 20 yards by Stephen Gostkowski, then went ahead to stay on Brady’s 17-yard pass to Gronkowski. The Patriots kept going with a

Johnson Benched For “Happy New Year” T-shirt
d FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) ith — Buffalo Bills receiver Stevie mes Johnson isn’t the first person 5 to get a little carried away nly ringing in the new year.

Burress — then imitated an airplane crashing into the turf. After that one, Gailey warned the team that anyone who drew a demonstration penalty would be benched. “If I say that, I’m going to do it,” Gailey said. “So he was out.” Gailey said he didn’t know why Johnson was penalized this time and not against the Bengals last year. But it didn’t matter, because he had been clear with his warning. “I got tired of it the first time it happened,” Gailey said. “But you hope people learn from situations. There isn’t anybody who hasn’t made mistakes, but you’ve got to learn from your mistakes. And everybody falls in that category — me too. “He is not a bad guy; he’s not. He’s a good guy, but he uses
3-yard touchdown run by Green-Ellis, a 7-yard scoring pass to Gronkowski with 3:07 left and a 21-yard interception return for a touchdown by Sterling Moore just 7 seconds later. “When you get them in a big hole like that, you’ve just got to put your foot on the neck,” Bills cornerback Drayton Florence said, “and we weren’t able to do that.” Buffalo’s offense struggled after losing wide receiver Stevie Johnson, who was benched, and tight end Scott Chandler, who hurt his knee, in the first half. “It slowed us down,” Fitzpatrick said. Coach Chan Gailey didn’t use Johnson after he was penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct when he scored and raised his jersey to reveal an undershirt with the message “Happy New Year!” on it. “I can’t complain about it or whine and pout. He made his decision and I am going with it,” Johnson said. “What I did hurt my teammates.” The Patriots defense also stepped up with four interceptions, all in the second half. Fitzpatrick completed 29 of 46 passes for 307 yards and two touchdowns. Brady was 23 for 35 for 338 with three touchdown passes and one interception. New England set the NFL record for most yards passing allowed, 4,727. The previous mark of 4,541 was set by the Atlanta Falcons in 1995. The competition should be tougher in their next game, so that defense will have to be stingier. Especially early in the game. “Every team in the playoffs is good,” Patriots linebacker Jerod Mayo said. “To be honest, it would be tough to come back against them if we’re behind 21-0.”
some bad judgment at times and if you do that enough and it hurts the team, you’ve got to do something.” The histrionics add to an already uncertain future for the Bills (6-10) and their No. 1 receiver, who can became a free agent now that their season is over. Johnson said he would prefer to re-sign with Buffalo, but negotiations over a new deal broke down in November when he rejected the team’s latest offer. “I come here to work just like everybody else in this locker room,” he said. “I know the guys around here put in a lot of work to come out here and go up by 21 points on the New England Patriots. … To end the season like this, it hurts, and it was something today that I feel I made a mistake for my teammates.”

Bonnies Defeat Niagara, Complete Big Four Sweep
Contributed Article
St. Bonaventure Sports Information
NIAGARA UNIVERSITY, N.Y. — Demitrius Conger recorded his fifth career double double with a career-high 27 points and 11 rebounds to guide St. Bonaventure (7-5) to a 72-70 victory over Niagara at a sold-out Gallagher Center. The victory snapped the Bonnies' eight game skid versus the Purple Eagles and completed the first-ever Bona sweep of Big Four rivals Buffalo, Canisius and Niagara. St. Bonaventure led by as many as 17 in the second half and held on as Niagara's Juan'ya Green put the Purple Eagles on his back, scoring 26 of his career-high 32 points over the final 20 minutes. Green's jumper with two minutes left cut the deficit to 64-54 and sparked Niagara down the stretch. NU scored on six of its next seven possessions – including a traditional three-point play from Green and a bucket from Ameen Tanksley - over a 1:05 span to all but erase the Bonnies' advantage, pulling to 70-68 after Green's layin with 27 ticks left.

The Eagles' frenetic 14-4 run ended there though. Chris Johnson finished with 11 points and six rebounds, including a pair of free throws with 20 seconds to play that built the margin back up to four points. Niagara missed a trio of 3-pointers in the final 10 seconds before Antoine Mason's put back as time expired made the final margin. SBU had not beaten Niagara in eight tries dating back to Nov. 24, 2001 and last defeat-
ed Niagara in the Gallagher Center Dec. 4, 2000. Junior guard Eric Mosley added 10 points and handed out five assists to aid in the Bonnies' victory. Both teams settled into a rhythm after misfiring early in the first half – at one point combining to shoot just 3-for-18 with nine turnovers. Playing again largely without the services of Andrew Nicholson, who fouled out in 15 minutes after scoring nine points, the Bonnies mounted
a 17-7 charge to turn a three point lead into a 38-25 margin headed into the locker room. Conger had three runs of four consecutive Bona points in the second half to help SBU maintain a comfortable lead until Green heated up for 14 of Niagara's 16 points midway through the final period. The Bonnies return to the Reilly Center on Wednesday to host George Washington in the Atlantic 10 Conference opener for both squads.
Career Days From Dixon, Walker Fuel Bona To Historic Victory Contributed Article
St. Bonaventure Sports Information
ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. — Sophomore CeCe Dixon and junior Alaina Walker each finished with careerhigh 18-point performances as St. Bonaventure (13-2) defeated Sacred Heart (9-4) Tuesday afternoon, 67-63, for a program-record 13th nonconference victory. In a game which featured seven scoring runs of 8-0 or larger, it was the Bonnies – behind Dixon – who made the final, game-deciding push. Trailing 46-45 with 12 minutes left, junior Chelsea Bowker converted a layup to put Bona in front, and then on consecutive possessions Dixon drilled 3-pointers to cap an 8-0 SBU which gave the Bonnies a 53-46 lead they wouldn't surrender the rest of the afternoon. The victory established the program record for regular season non-league wins for Bonaventure, as it was previously tied with the 2007-08 and 2009-10 squads. As part of her scoring performance, Dixon knocked down a career-best four 3-pointers, one game removed from tallying a then-career-high three trifectas last time out against Norfolk State. After Bona shot a season-high 52.4 percent from the floor in last year's win over Sacred Heart, the Pioneers focused on the SBU perimeter game Tuesday, opening up driving lanes for Walker who carved her way to 14 second-half points. Half of those points came from the free throw line as Walker finished the contest by tying a career high with eight

made free throws (8-9). Both St. Bonaventure (18th) and Sacred Heart (7th) entered the game in the top20 nationally in free throw percentage, and that shooting kept the Bonnies alive, and the Pioneers at bay in the closing minutes. SBU finished 21-26 (80.8 percent) from the line on the day, including 6-8 in the final 1:20 of the game. For the third consecutive game, sophomore Doris Ortega pulled down doublefigure boards, finishing with 10 — a total matched by redshirt senior Armelia Horton, who tied a career high in that category. Horton also provided 10 points for her second career double-double, and first on the season. Before fouling out in 25 minutes of action, senior Jessica Jenkins tallied 13 points, including two 3-pointers. For the first time since Dec. 18 against Marist, Preseason First Team Atlantic 10 pick Megan Van Tatenhove played, providing 19 bench minutes for the Bonnies. Van Tatenhove — who has been suffering from concussion-like symptoms — scored just two
points, but pulled down five rebounds and issued three assists, including the helper on the Bowker layup which gave SBU the lead for good. SHU senior Callan Taylor led all scorers with 23 points — just the second opponent to score 20 or more points in a game against the Bonnies all year. Taylor also pulled down 10 rebounds for her eighth double-double of the season. After Sacred Heart hit a 3 on its first possession of the game, the Bonnies responded with a 15-0 run to jump in front by 12 not even five minutes into the contest. After the two clubs traded buckets, SHU responded with a 12-0 run to pull within one, 18-17. That run was answered by a brief 4-0 stretch by the Brown and White before the Pioneers rattled off 13 straight to take their first lead of the afternoon and eventually jump in front by as much as eight, 30-22, with five minutes left in the opening half. Fitting with the first-half script, Bona responded with a 10-0 run — fueled by eight points from Dixon — to reclaim the lead, 32-30, in the
final minute. However, the theme continued in the final 60 seconds as SHU scored on each of its final two possessions to take a 34-32 lead into the halftime break. St. Bonaventure returns to the Reilly Center on Saturday in a battle of two of the best teams in the A-10. The 13-2 Bonnies will host the 12-2 Duquesne Dukes as both squads commence league action in a 1 p.m. tip. NOTES: The 63 total points by the Pioneers are the most surrendered by the Brown and White this year … Taylor now has 46 career double-doubles, the most in the nation amongst current players … Van Tatenhove's three assists were second on the Bona roster to the four served out by Horton … Bowker scored six points to complete the SBU scoring … Horton's only other double-double came during a 12-point, 10-rebound performance against Richmond during the 2009-10 campaign … Van Tatenhove's lone points came off a fadeaway jumper late in the shot clock which spearheaded the 10-0 Bona run late in the first half.
ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. — Head baseball coach Larry Sudbrook has announced the signing of eight players to National Letters of Intent to begin play with the Bonnies in the 2012-13 season. The group who committed to Sudbrook's program are: Dominic Edwards (Cleveland, Ohio/Mentor), Drew Teller (Cleveland, Ohio/Mayfield), Josh Martin (Buffalo, N.Y./ Depew), Alex Bell (Pittsburgh, Pa./Upper St. Clair), Steve Klimek (Rochester, N.Y./ Greece Arcadia), Sean Sleigh (DuBois, Pa./Treasure Lake), Thaddeus Johnson (Frewsburg, N.Y./Frewsburg Central School) and Tom Styn (East Amherst, N.Y./Williamsville East). Johnson, a middle infielder, in 14 games last season batted .532 with four home runs, 16 RBI and had a 1.37 ERA as a pitcher. He was named Second Team All-State for Class C, First Team All-Western New York, First Team All-CCAA and CCAA Player of the Year. Johnson will be the fifth member of his family to attend St. Bonaventure University on an athletic scholarship. His brother Seth and sister Anneli earned scholarships for swimming, and his two other brothers, Cael and Asa, are both pitchers on the Bona baseball team. Seth is currently the head coach of the women's swimming team. Edwards, a right-handed pitcher, earned a 6-0 record last season, threw three shutouts and three complete games in leading his team in wins, strikeouts (37) and saves (three). In 2011, he was the Lake Erie League Player of the Year, an All-Lake Erie League selection, an All-Lake County member and a News-Herald First Team Pitcher. Teller, also a pitcher, has played three years of high school baseball. As a junior, he was a starting pitcher for the varsity team, earning a 3-0 record despite battling mononucleosis. He won the Junior Varsity Team Most Valuable Player Award in his sophomore year. Teller also played high school basketball and soccer. Martin, a catcher, hit .489 with a slugging percentage of .733
in 14 games last year, including a 10-game hitting streak. He has been an Erie County Interscholastic Conference (ECIC) First Team Section 6 All-Star selection for the last two seasons, including a sophomore campaign in which he set school records in batting average (.565), on-base percentage (.633) and slugging percentage (.848). He has been a member of Depew's varsity squad since seventh grade, and is the cousin of current Bonnie pitcher Eddie Gray. Bell, a non-scholarship catcher who has an assured spot on the roster, hit .345 with two home runs in 55 at bats for the Panthers as a junior last season. In his sophomore season at Upper St. Clair, he hit .269 with two RBI. Bell also played for the Mid-Atlantic Canes Under-17 over the summer, participating in several tournaments around the region. Klimek, a corner infielder, hit .510 with nine home runs and 26 RBI in 19 games last season. On the pitcher's mound, he went 5-1 with 51 strikeouts in 47 innings en route to being named the All-Monroe County Division 2 Player of the Year. In his sophomore season, Klimek recorded a 10-0 record on the hill and hit for a .486 average. The Rochester native is currently tied for fifth on the all-time home runs list in Section V with nine. Sleigh, also a corner infielder, recorded 33 hits last season, helped lead his team to the AAAA playoffs and was named to TCS/CE High School Baseball All Star Team. Also a member of the football team, he set the record for career touchdown passes and threw for 3,658 yards this past fall in his senior campaign. Styn, a non-scholarship infielder who has an assured spot on the roster, was an Erie County Intercollegiate Conference (ECIC) Second Team selection last year, hitting .323 in 62 at bats for the Flames. As a freshman, Styn hit .368 with 20 RBI in 68 at bats. Off the field, the prospective physical education major earned New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA) Scholar Athlete honors with a 3.7 GPA in the classroom. The eight new signees will fill spots vacated by six graduating seniors this coming May.
MAAC Roundup: Niagara Beats Loyola For First Conference Win
Contributed Article Associated Press
BALTIMORE (AP) — Juan'ya Green scored 18 points and Niagara rallied past Loyola (Md.) 66-61 on Monday night. Niagara led by as many as 12 points in the first half but there were 10 lead changes in the game. The Purple Eagles

The Oilers fell back into their losing ways one night after a 4-3 win at Chicago that snapped a seven-game road skid. Oilers coach Tom Renney remained upbeat and praised his young and banged-up team for showing resilience. "We gave Buffalo everything they could handle. It was a winnable game for us," Renney said. "We were very passionate, and we really tried
to play within our structure. We didn't quit, and that's as important as anything." The Oilers got off to a flying start despite playing on back-to-back nights and missing NHL rookie scoring leader Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, who is out indefinitely after hurting his left shoulder on Monday. Buffalo was outshot 9-0 before Gerbe got a puck on net with a spin-around backhander from the
right circle that Khabibulin kicked away with his right pad nearly eight minutes in. The Oilers had a 12-2 shots edge when Hall opened the scoring by snapping a shot from the left circle off the right post to cap a 3-on-2 rush 10:33 in. As quickly as the Oilers started, their offense petered out as they managed two shots the rest of the period. Khabibulin didn't look sharp in allowing Pominville to score on a bad-angle shot from the right circle with 5:37 remaining in the first. The teams traded goals in the second period, though the Oilers also had one disallowed. Potter scored on a slap shot from the right point, but the goal was negated because Ales Hemsky was penalized for goalie interference. Hemsky was working his way across the top of the crease when he nudged Miller. "I don't think so," Hemsky said, arguing that it appeared to him that Miller was already on his way down when they touched. "He glanced off Miller," said Renney, questioning whether the goalie embellished the hit. "It's not Miller's first rodeo, and down he goes." The Sabres (18-17-4) avoided falling under NHL .500 for the first time since Jan. 13, 2011, when they were 19-20-5. Sabres coach Lindy Ruff was impressed by how his players drove to the net to produce opportunities. "We've been talking about the inside ones, and I said, 'We're going to have to get some guys around the crease ... and jump in,' " Ruff said. "It's nice to score some goals." Stafford wasn't one to complain about how the goals went in, or how slowly the Sabres started. "We're not looking for a perfect game," Stafford said. "We're looking for wins."

Sabres Edge Oilers To Win Just Second In Last Eight
BUFFALO, N.Y. — After the Buffalo Sabres d- spent much of the past month talking about k. needing to snap out of their extended funk, y Drew Stafford did something about it. Stafford scored the go-ahead goal with 5:26 left and assisted on Nathan Gerbe's game-winner 2:04 later in a 4-3 win over the road-weary Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night. The Sabres won for only the second time in eight games s in (2-5-1) and sixth time in 20 (6-10-4). base "We've talked about it enough. Bottom line is ging guys knew we just needed to go out there and een get it done," Stafford said. "It feels good to get ty those two points. Now, hopefully we can string a few together." t Stafford's three points on Tuesday matched his production — three assists — in his previous cher seven games. He helped spark an offense that had n produced two or fewer goals in 13 of 20 games. o the Stafford snapped a 2-2 tie by tapping a loose a- puck at the net that dribbled between goalie on Nikolai Khabibulin's legs. 69 "I kept whacking at it, and finally got one, got yed a break," Stafford said. "It's nice to finally get rewarded with a break." , Gerbe put the game away by streaking up the r- left side, cutting to the net and shoveling the . puck just inside the right post. hit Jordan Leopold and captain Jason Pominville, and who played despite an illness that limited his ice - time, also scored for Buffalo.

other TV providers,” president of MSG media Michael Blair said in a statement. “Unfortunately, they rejected every offer we made to them for almost two years. In the end, they were simply not interested in conducting serious negotiations on behalf of their customers and instead spent their time grossly mischaracterizing our positions to the public.”
MSG is the official network of the Buffalo Sabres, but also of the New York Knicks, New Jersey Devils, New York Rangers and New York Islanders. As MSG said in their official statement, The Sabres are the highest-rated American team in the NHL and the Knicks ratings were up more than 100 percent from last season. Meanwhile, Time Warner contends that the
price increase MSG is asking for is too much and would force Time Warner to raise their prices to their customers. “We hate that our customers have been put in this terrible position,” said Mike Angus, senior vice president of Time Warner Cable, in a statement. “MSG has offered no credible explanation as to why they suddenly need a 53 percent increase over last year’s rates.” With no apparent end in sight, Time Warner has decided to offer their cable package, Time Warner Cable Sports Pass, free for the entire month of January. The package normally costs customers $5.95 per month.

Spring Steelhead Expected To Run Low
By Steve Peacock Star Outdoors Writer
Who would have thought we would get to January and still have open water to fish in. The guys I know that have been fishing this past week have done well. The local tributaries still have a few steel head in them. The fish I saw looked like they had been in the stream for some time. You can tell by the color of the fish if it has been in the creek for a while or if it is part of a fresh run. A steelhead fresh out of the lake will look like chrome while the same fish will look almost black after it has spent some time up in the creek. I don’t really expect any more new fish coming up until spring now. Even then I predict we will not have the spring run that we are used to.
Of course we will have to wait and see but I remember a year with a significant mid winter thaw that brought a bunch of fish up. That year the spring run was almost non-existent. I heard that some perch fisherman did pretty well fishing out of Sunset bay over the Christmas holiday. I probably should have gone fishing instead of the goose hunt I went on. I did see some geese while out but none of them were even close to being in range. The current goose season closes on Jan. 9, so I’ll probably try it again before then. This whole goose hunting thing is just an experiment for me. I never really did any duck or goose hunting before, in fact I don’t even know if I like to eat them. If I do enjoy how they taste I will probably put some more effort in to hunting them in the future.

Lake Erie Fishing Hotline: Dec. 30 to Jan. 6
Contributed Article Department of Environmental Conservation
Lake Erie Tributaries Water conditions are good on all Lake Erie Tributaries except Cattaraugus Creek, which is still running high. The small to medium sized tributaries have moderate flows and range from slightly stained to ideal color. With minimal rain forecasted, these creeks should be in good shape through the weekend. The steelhead action has slowed lately and angler effort has diminished. In cold water conditions, it is best to keep drifted baits slow and deep as steelhead are lethargic and hugging the bottom. Egg sacs, egg pattern flies, trout beads or small hair jigs tipped with a waxworm/spike are good bets. Concentrate efforts during the warmest part of the day when chasing winter steelhead. Lake Erie Harbors Brown trout are still available in Dunkirk Harbor and have been caught from the DEC fishing platform near the power plant warmwater discharge and from the city pier. Live minnows, spoons, spinners and egg sacs are good baits for harbor trout. Anglers can also target trout from the pier at Barcelona Harbor. Chautauqua Lake During this transition time between open water and ice
fishing seasons, there has not been significant fishing activity on Chautauqua Lake. Some decent crappie catches have been reported around the south basin on minnows. Anglers can also find good yellow perch and sunfish action in nearshore areas of 10-16 feet of water. Minnows, worms and small ice fishing jigs tipped with waxworms work well. Ice Fishing There is no safe ice to report in western New York. It will be at least another week
before the smaller waters have safe ice. Before you head out onto the ice this winter, remember that a minimum of 3 to 4 inches of solid ice is the general rule for safety. Drilling holes or tapping with a spud bar to check ice thickness is recommended on your way out. Safety ice pics, boot cleats, rope and a floatation devise are also recommended items. Use good judgement and fish with a friend when possible. Upper Niagara River Anglers can target yellow
perch from Broderick Park. Emerald shiners are available for dipping at that site and are the best bait for perch. Anglers can also target trout from Broderick Park, as well as along the Bird Island Pier and the northern tip of Squaw Island. Drifting egg sacs or casting spoons are good bets for trout. Smallmouth bass are available throughout the river, however bass fishing is by catch and release only, artificial lures only, until the third Saturday in June.

Stewart returns to Chili Bowl Tony Stewart is leading a group of his racing pals back to the grass roots of the sport as he, Nationwide Series Champion Ricky Stenhouse Jr., USAC champion Bryan Clauson and 2011 POWRi Rookie of the Year Jake Blackhurst will be part of a four-driver team at the 26th annual Chili Bowl, a Midget car event that is run indoors on the QuikTrip Center’s Tulsa Expo Raceway, beginning Jan. 10. Stewart is a veteran of the Chili Bowl and has two Golden Driller trophies, from 2002 and 2007. This year he’s running a special edition black, carbon-fiber Chevrolet called the “Back in Black” car. “Having taken a few years off from competing in the Chili Bowl, I’m really looking forward to returning to Tulsa and the event in 2012,” Stewart said. “It’s one of the biggest Midget races of the year, and it’s just a lot of fun to compete in the Chili Bowl. “I’m also glad that we’ll be able to give our partners, Chevrolet and Chevrolet Performance Parts, another shot at a Golden Driller. I think it’s very feasible that we could get four cars in the A-Main on Saturday night.” For more information about the 2012 Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Midget Nationals, visit www.chilibowl.com.

Tony Stewart celebrates with the trophy in Victory Lane after winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Ford 400 and the 2011 Series Championship at Homestead-Miami Speedway on November 20, 2011. Stewart owes his championship to winning races, a strategy all drivers will try to emulate in 2012, according to Ed Clark. (NASCAR photo)
AMS president makes annual predictions for new season
E
d Clark, president and general manager of Atlanta Motor Speedway, has spent his entire working career in motorsports, having worked at several tracks including Bristol Motor Speedway, Charlotte Motor Speedway and Nashville Speedway. The Virginia native also has experience behind the wheel of a race car. He raced at Rockingham, N.C., in the old Daytona Dash circuit and is a regular competitor on the quarter-mile Legends track at AMS, where he recently scored his 35th career feature win. In what has become an annual tradition, Clark has made his predictions, eight of them, for the coming NASCAR season. 1. Wins in 2012 will matter even more than they did last season. “Wins mattered a lot in 2011, but they will matter even more in 2012. Consistency was the norm for so long, but the whole paradigm has changed to where you have got to run for the win. “Because wins are going to mean so much, and based on last year’s results, you’ve got to run for the win instead of just a decent finish. It’s more and more become the norm, and that’s something that’s going to be a huge interest to fans, because that’s what they wanted to see all along.” 2. Consequently, 2011 saw a champion in Tony Stewart, who won the title by winning races. That’s going to be a must again. “Tony Stewart won the championship because he won races in the Chase. Anybody who wants to win the championship in 2012 will have to do that again.” 3. Dodge will contend for its first Sprint Cup Championship in several years with Brad Keselowski.
“You are going to see a Dodge as a contender for the Sprint Cup Championship right to the very end with Brad Keselowski. “Keselowski is going to have a multiple-win season again. I think he’s got the stuff to be a two- or three-time champion. He is destined for a bigtime year. “I think to do what he did in his second year was remarkable. Dale Earnhardt was a rookie in 1979 and won the championship in his second year. Good drivBrad Keselowski ers don’t take long (NASCAR photo) to get to the top.” 4. Speaking of championships, Carl Edwards will finally claim his first Sprint Cup title in 2012. “Carl Edwards is already one of the most determined guys to ever drive a car in NASCAR. You know he’s thinking about the end to 2011 every waking moment. He won’t forget what happened last year, and he won’t let that happen again. You don’t want to be in his way because he’s going to the front.” 5. As a top-ranked Googled athlete, Danica Patrick will bring a new wave of media interest to the sport. “Aside from bringing new media attention to NASCAR, Danica Patrick is going to have some competitive runs. She’s going to surprise a lot of people with some good runs. She’s going to be in good equipment, and she’s going to be working with good people, including Tony Stewart and crew chief Greg Zipadelli.”
6. With championship-winning crew chief Darian Grubb calling the shots, fellow Virginian Denny Hamlin will win five races and be a title contender. “After last season, Darian Grubb has something to prove. And Denny Hamlin still wants to make up for his heartbreaking end to the 2010 season. Grubb’s impact will be immediately visible.” 7. Michael Waltrip Racing will win multiple races. “Michael Waltrip Racing has every opportunity, with the new driver and crew lineups, to win races and compete at the front of the field on a regular basis. Many people may be questioning Clint Bowyer’s decision to move to the No. 15 car, but he could be a dark-horse Chase contender.” 8. The 2011 season set new records for first-time winners and most winners in a season, but 2012 will feature fewer winners and more multiplerace winners. “The 2012 Sprint Cup season will see fewer overall winners and more Danica Patrick drivers winning (NASCAR photo) multiple races. There will be more drivers winning two to three races and fewer drivers who win a single race. “This is no surprise since last year saw so many different winners, and this year will see an even higher premium on winning for points positioning.”
Bass Pro Shops has announced that it will continue its sponsorship role at Richard Childress Racing in 2012. The outdoor equipment retail giant will be the primary sponsor of Austin Dillon’s No. 3 Chevrolet Impala in the Nationwide Series and his brother Ty Dillon’s No. 3 Chevrolet Silverado in the Camping World Truck Series. Both Dillons are grandsons of team founder Richard Childress. “We are pleased to once again partner with our good friend and hunting buddy Richard Childress for the 2012 racing season,” Bass Pro Shops founder Johnny Morris said in a team release. “Austin and Ty are both remarkably talented racers with a promising future ahead of them. They are also tremendous ambassadors for the outdoors and hunting and fishing. I look forward to seeing them both race and Austin Dillon hopefully spending a little time with them and grand- (NASCAR photo) pa out hunting or fishing.” Bass Pro Shops, which was founded in 1972 and now has 58 stores across the nation, has a long history with Childress, as it was an associate sponsor of Dale Earnhardt’s No. 3 Cup car as far back as 1988.
K&N race joins Bristol schedule Bristol Motor Speedway’s Food City 500 weekend schedule has a new addition. NASCAR’s K&N Pro Series, a developmental circuit that runs cars similar in appearance to those in the Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series, will hold its season opener on Saturday, March 17, after the Nationwide Series race. “We believe adding the K&N Series to our schedule is something the fans will enjoy because it truly is a great series,” Bristol’s general manager and executive vice president Jerry Caldwell said in a track release. “A lot of really good drivers and crew chiefs have started out in K&N cars and ended up racing in the Sprint Cup or Nationwide Series.” Among the one-time K&N competitors who made it on to NASCAR’s major touring series are drivers Joey Logano, Ryan Truex, Ricky Craven, Steve Park and crew chiefs Greg Zipadelli, Richard “Slugger” Labbe and Frankie Stoddard. The 2012 K&N Pro Series East schedule features 14 races at 12 short tracks across the eastern United States and offers up-and-coming drivers a chance to race on historic short tracks as well as ovals that now host NASCAR’s elite divisions.
NUMERICALLY
NASCAR Preview, Preseason Thunder Fan Fest look to rev up fans for 2012 Back in the day when R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., through its Winston brand, was the flagship sponsor of NASCAR’s elite series, each new season got a kick start in momentum from the Winston Preview, a pre-season event where media and fans got to mingle with the top stars of the sport. Now Sprint, the current sponsor of the Cup series, is bringing back that same type event with the NASCAR Preview 2012 Presented by Sprint. It is set for Jan. 21 in Charlotte, and already more than 50 drivers from the Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Camping World Truck series have been confirmed as participants. The preview, an all-day event inside the Charlotte Convention Center, offers autograph opportunities, question and answer sessions, show cars, simulators and racing games. It will be held in conjunction with the induction ceremony for the 2012 class of the NASCAR Hall of Fame, which is set for Jan. 20 and will feature the induction of Dale Inman, Darrell Waltrip, Glen Wood, Cale Yarborough and the late Richie Evans. The Hall will unveil the exhibits honoring the inductees on Sunday, Jan. 22, making for an eventful weekend in Charlotte. Driver Jeff Burton said in a NASCAR
SPEAKING
release that he’s among those glad to see the old Winston Preview format being resurrected. “I’m really excited about this event coming back, because I was sad it went away in the first place,” Burton said. The return of the preview doesn’t mean that fans in Daytona Beach won’t get to participate in the Preseason Thunder Fan Fest at Daytona International Speedway. For the past several years, this event has typically been held in conjunction with a test session at Daytona. This year’s test and fan event is set for Jan. 12-13, and like the preview will include autograph sessions, driver question and answer sessions, show cars and displays, music and more.

This means ‘War’
A&E profiles truckers in new series By Dee Wright TV Media
I
t seems that every profession has some kind of reality series profiling it -- cake shops, restaurants, bounty hunters and even hoggers. And networks even battle for viewership when they have similar series. For example, TLC’s “Hoarding: Buried Alive” vs. A&E’s “Hoarders.” Despite the number of similar shows out there, it must mean that there is an audience who is interested in the industry.
In 2007, History premiered “Ice Road Truckers” as part of a bigger series about dangerous jobs. The segment was such a hit that it spun into its own series, following a trucking company as its drivers navigate ice-covered roads and snow drifts with all kinds of cargo in the trucks. The series encapsulated action, adventure and drama as it took viewers along for the ride, and they got to know the drivers and their stories. The series opened a plethora of story lines within the industry. On Tuesday, Jan. 10, A&E will premiere

“Shipping Wars,” which introduces viewers to the world of auctionbased shipping. Ten half-hour episodes have been filmed, but if past A&E success has set any kind of precedence, we can be sure that “Shipping Wars” will be around for longer than that. In a nutshell, clients go online and post a description of the item they need shipped, including the size, weight and destination. Shippers then bid to win the auction, and the lowest bid gets the shipment. Underbidding opponents is important, but shippers need to be sure that they cover their costs, including insurance. Some of the packages are very large, very delicate, and sometimes even alive -- so they need to make sure they’re covered. As with all reality series, the show would be nothing without a wellrounded cast of characters. “Shipping Wars” follows six independent shippers as they battle each other for packages. Married couple Scott and Suzanne Bawcom have put their entire life into their small shipping company, which Scott inherited from his father. Scott isn’t one to turn away from a challenge -- a skill he learned while defusing bombs for the Marines in Iraq. With Scott at the wheel and Suzanne at the computer putting in bids, they always keep their trailer full.

Featurestory Villain or hero: PBS exposes the real Billy the Kid
By Kyla Brewer TV Media
H
e’s been immortalized in books, songs, movies and even poetry. But in spite of the fame, the real story of one of the Wild West’s most enduring figures has been obscured. PBS is about to change all of that, as “American Experience” takes a look at the truth behind the legend of Billy the Kid on Tuesday, Jan. 10. Kicking off a month-long expose on fugitives of the Wild West, this profile of Billy the Kid precedes the tales of Wyatt Earp, Geronimo, Annie Oakley and a brand-new feature about “Custer’s Last Stand.” Famous for his sharpshooting skills, Billy the Kid’s legend as an outlaw is deeply ingrained in the history of America’s early days. But as the experts in “American Experience” reveal, he was also somewhat of a folk hero of the day, especially to the Hispanic community, who embraced him as a Wild West underdog. Billy the Kid’s real name was William Henry McCarty, Jr., though he’s more famously known by the alias William H. Bonney. While many of the details of McCarty’s early life are hazy at best, it is believed that he was born in New York City to Irish immigrant Catherine McCarty. When the family moved to New Mexico in search of fortune, the young McCarty mingled within the local Latino and Native American communities, and soon learned to speak Spanish fluently. He embraced the culture, sporting sombreros and courting senoritas. Conditions seemed to improve for the young family when Catherine remarried, but McCarty’s step-

Stories of Billy the Kid often focus on his seemingly random acts of violence, but filmmakers reveal he was involved in an epic land/horse conflict known as The Lincoln County War. At the time, the area was controlled by Lawrence Murphy and James Dolan. The two immigrants used unscrupulous bankers and crooked lawmen to force land from
local Hispanic ranchers. Along with Englishman John Tunstall, McCarty and his cohorts battled Murphy and Dolan for a piece of the pie. When the law came for him, McCarty often found refuge in the Hispanic community, which revered him for taking on those who had bullied them. His luck eventually ran out, of course, and Pat Garrett famously gunned him down in 1881.

StarsonScreen By Dee Wright and Sheila Busteed TV Media TAKING OVER: Tabatha Coffey’s experience and attitude precedes her for many industry leaders -- the salon-savvy style guru marches into hair studios and takes over the design, staffing and business management of struggling salons as they try to get back on their feet. She never hesitates to call out owners regarding the way they run their business, but most of the time, her advice stays in the realm of hair design and salon ownership. On Tuesday, Jan. 10, however, Coffey will stretch her reach beyond the barber’s chair and into different kinds of businesses in “Tabatha Takes Over.” The Australian will relate her experience from owning multiple salons to help companies such as dance clubs, a yogurt shop and even a doggy day care. The series has been dubbed the fourth season of Coffey’s other series, “Tabatha’s Salon Takeover,” but with a new title, it gives the series a chance to expand and help other companies. Over the course of the first three seasons, Coffey visited almost 30 different salons across the country when the owners contacted her about their failing business. Coffey would spend the first part of the day watching the staff on hidden cameras, and the owner is then shown the private
footage and confronted about their business model. Coffey then sits down with the staff and bluntly tells them that she is “taking over,” and that by the end of the week, some of them may be fired. Her success in turning the business around is reflected in the statistics, when only five of the 30 salons she helped have gone under since she stepped in. “Tabatha Takes Over” starts off in Coffey’s comfort zone, a salon, when she visits Minneapolis to help an owner who is actually living in her salon and making her daughter do most of the work. STAY ON THE ‘SHORE’: It may not have quite the same impact as “Jaws,” but a new Syfy movie may have viewers reconsidering their next trip to the beach. An all-star cast performs in an original movie, “Jersey Shore Shark Attack,” which will premiere in the summer of 2012. “Rare swarms of sharks are converging due to illegal underwater drilling,” the network boasts. Tabatha Coffey “Now tries to save the anstruggling gry businesses in “Tabatha Takes Over”
sharks are on a rampage, devouring residents, and leaving it up to the locals to try and save the day.” “The Sopranos” stars Tony Sirico plays the lead in the film, supported by a strong -- but kitschy -cast. Paul Sorvino (1990’s “Goodfellas”), Jack Scalia (the original “Dallas” series), William Atherton (“Die Hard”), and Joey Fatone of the pop band ‘N Sync. Last but not least, “Jersey Shore” star Vinny Guadagnino plays a reporter who is covering the shark attacks. The plot of the film follows a greedy developer (Atherton) who wants to tear down the boardwalk so he can put up a new resort. A corrupt mayor (Sorvino) and a lazy police chief (Scalia) are no help as a group of locals (led by Sirico) tries to stop construction. Throw in the drama of unexpected shark attacks, and you’ve got “Jersey

Shore Shark Attack.” PRIME CRIME CAST: The snowball has been unleashed in Las Vegas and it sure is rolling. Ever since William Petersen’s departure from CBS’s hit show “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,” the series has faced a number of hits in the casting department. Showrunners thought they could keep numbers up after his departure by bringing in film star Laurence Fishburne, but that didn’t last. Now, Ted Danson is attempting to revive his career and keep the show’s pulse going as the new male lead, but he’ll face his first
great challenge next month when he loses his leading lady and original cast member Marg Helgenberger. However, executive producer Carol Mendelsohn is confident he’s found a winning replacement in veteran actress Elisabeth Shue. She’ll debut in an episode scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 15. “While it’s difficult to say goodbye to a beloved character like Catherine Willows, it’s exciting to start a journey with a new CSI, especially when that character is played by Elisabeth Shue,” said Mendelsohn. “The new CSI also struggles with ‘brutal honesty issues’ and suffers no fools.”

Trimming the costs: Food helps viewers keep leaner resolutions TV Media
I
t’s that time of year again. In a sort of retail role reversal from December, it’s the gyms that are packed right now while the stores are nearly empty. We’re one week into 2012 and many are hard at work on their various resolutions. So for viewers who have opted to change their diet or their spending ways, the Food Network has scheduled specially themed programs this month to show you how to eat better - and for less, too. Trimming the fat, sugar and sodium from our daily diets may seem daunting to some who are starting out on their weight-loss journey. But the good news is that it doesn’t have to be boring or difficult, as Food Network stars readily demonstrate. New and old episodes airing this weekend (and repeating throughout the week) offer up a wide variety of inspiring meal ideas including: baked halibut with arugula salsa verde from Giada De Laurentiis (“Giada at Home”); Melissa D’Arabian’s recipe for turkey lettuce wraps on “Ten Dollar Dinners”; grilled tuna burgers done Fieri-style on “Guy’s Big Bite”; and a “30 Minute Meals” recipe for chicken with curry gravy that adds an element of comfort food that is perfect for a wintry menu. In the nation’s battle against the bulge, it’s not always the food itself that’s the enemy - it’s often the choices we make with it, whether it’s portion sizes or nutritional content. For example, premade meals can be pretty convenient (both time- and money-

Alabama and LSU likely to meet for championship By Joel Duplessis TV Media
T
wo titans of the SEC are set to collide in the 2012 BCS National Championship game as the LSU Tigers kick off against the Alabama Crimson Tide, Monday evening on ESPN. The Tigers have proven all year that they’re the best team in the country, and many believe it’s a given conclusion that LSU will end up national champions. The two teams played a tightly-contested affair in Tuscaloosa back in November, with the Tigers winning a defensive battle, 9-6. Alabama will be looking to play a similar type of game on Monday night, keeping LSU out of the end zone in a defensive game. Although the Tigers did defeat the Crimson Tide in their previous meeting, LSU didn’t bring their best effort in the three-point win. Since escaping Alabama unscathed, the Tigers have gone on to hammer each of their opponents by an average of 34 points. It’s hard to imagine that this game will be anything like the single-digit defensive struggle we saw in November. Although defense will play a huge part in the game’s outcome, big plays and turnovers could be a deciding factor. Alabama has an aggressive defense and a conservative offense, which resulted in an excellent turnover margin this season. LSU, on the other hand, was even better. The Tigers have put up historic numbers in the turnover department this year, with a plus-22 advantage – the best in college football. Aside from winning the turnover battle, connecting on big plays will be crucial for both teams. With two stout defenses such as these, don’t expect many 12-play 80-yard drives. If Alabama has any chance of being crowned national champions, they must either win or tie in the turnover battle and hit a couple of big plays to win the fight for field position. (2:30)

HollywoodQ&A
By Adam Thomlison TV Media Q: I am a fan of the program, “Off the Map” and I’ve been watching for its return. Is it coming back? If so when, and if not, why? A: Unfortunately, “Off the Map” is off the air, for good. The third series from medical-drama hitmaker Shonda Rhimes failed to live up to the expectations created by her previous two, “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Private Practice.” And you aren’t the only fan mourning the loss. “While it never had the immediate chemistry and likability of ‘Grey’s Anatomy,’ the series was starting to come together towards the end of the 13 episodes,” said MonstersAndCritics.com reviewer
Patrick Luce. “Sadly, it took too long to get going, and was taken off lifesupport before there was a chance for a pulse.” On the bright side, Luce wrote that in his review of the full-series (granted there were only 13 episodes) DVD release. That’s a rare move for a cancelled TV series, likely fuelled in large part by Rhimes’s involvement. For her part, she took the news philosophically when it came last May, writing on Twitter: “Very sad about losing ‘Off The Map.’ Very excited about new show ‘Scandal.’ ABC giveth and ABC taketh away.” “Scandal” is Rhimes’s new drama about a PR professional who makes high-profile problems go away. ABC picked up the series around the same time it dropped “Off the Map,” but so far the network hasn’t announced a premiere
date. Q: How can you access soundtracks from TV shows? “Sons of Anarchy” has some great background music but it’s too short and not loud enough to figure out the name of the song or the artist. A: That can be tricky, as the legal issues surrounding music-usage rights are famously difficult, especially with such a music-heavy show as FX’s hit biker drama “Sons of Anarchy.” The producers got around a lot of it by recording a lot of the music specifically for the show. All of that can be found on a soundtrack album, “Songs of Anarchy: Music From Sons of Anarchy Seasons 1 4,” including the show’s Emmynominated theme song, “This Life.” Other than that one, the album
consists entirely of cover songs recorded for the show, including renditions of classics “Son of a Preacher Man,” “Bird on the Wire” and “Strange Fruit” sung by series star Katey Sagal (she also provided some vocals on a rendition of “The House of the Rising Sun”). However, the show has featured a great many more songs that weren’t included on the album -- a lot of independently recorded, prereleased music by rock bands such as The Black Keys and the fittingly named Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. Recognizing how heavily the show depends on such music, FX Network has a feature on its website (fxnetworks.com, follow the links to the “Sons of Anarchy” page) that lists the songs used in each episode and even lets you listen to clips online.
The rules surrounding music-usage rights are a frequent headache for producers, and often even more for the networks themselves. Many a DVD release has been delayed because a show only bought the rights to air the music on television and not home video. Indeed shows are frequently re-recorded with different music to get around the problem. That said, the show has been a powerful marketing tool for a lot of up-and-coming young bands whose Southern-style blues rock has been a good fit for the show. The Black Keys, then an unknown rock duo, were featured in the show’s pilot episode and have gone on to sell millions of albums and win three Grammy awards.
