Prendergast Library Prepars Wood Carver’s Exhibit

Inside This Week

By Mallory Diefenbach Star News Writer

There are many different art forms. They take different shapes and sizes and spread across a multiple of mediums. The Southern Tier Wood Carvers will be presenting their art in the form of wood carvings at the James Prendergast Library Art Gallery from Jan. 13 through Feb. 10. There will be many different types of art forms centering around the usage of wood there. There will be carvings of ducks to bears; chip carvings, which is where a carver uses a knife or a chisel to remove small chips of wood to create letters or small designs; and relief carvings where wood is removed from a flat panel so that a figure or an object will stand out. The woodcarvings will be in display cases throughout the duration of the show. Starting on Jan. 14, a couple of carvers will be in attendance for at least a week and a half from 1 to 4 p.m. They will be carving and answering questions people may have. They also may take commissions and sell their pieces if they so wish, however this is up to the individual. To check their availability during this time, call 716-484-7135. Gallery hours for the carvers’ library exhibit will be 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and

The sounds of familiar carols bring back many memories of holiday celebrations. Exhibits about familiar carols, little known facts about popular tunes and holiday music trivia will be placed throughout the Mansion among the traditional festive exhibits. The exhibit is sponsored in part by Stormer Mechanical Services and Fessenden Laumer and DeAngelo Attorneys. The four floors of the Mansion are filled with decorated trees and nostalgic settings that show the traditions and celebrations that make Jamestown the way it is today. Some of the songs highlighted are well-known classics such “Silver Bells”, “White Christmas”, and “Here Comes Santa Claus”. Traditional pieces such as “Jingle Bells” and “The Twelve Days of Christmas” will be part of the exhibit too. A raffle will be held for a huck woven afghan done in a beautiful earth tone pattern.

Scott Wise Commentary This month marks a special month for our paper and for numerous organizations around the county- National Mentoring Month. We’ll be doing a special article next week on the history of National Mentoring Month, so I won’t delve too far into the details. We’ve got a few stories this week as well, on pages 3 and 6, that discuss some programs looking for volunteers.

When better to join than a month focused on mentoring? I fully believe in mentoring as a way to change someone’s life. I think mentoring as a whole is very underrated in our society. This likely stems from our lack of respect for those older than us. There’s a verse in Leviticus that says, “You shall rise before the gray headed and honor the presence of an old man.” I’m sad to say that my generation as a whole has forgotten the wisdom that can be gained from those with experience. Wisdom comes with age, and what better way to learn than from those who have that wisdom? I personally have a mentor. He is my pastor, my spiritual father and my direct supply to what God has to say to me. Of course, your mentor doesn’t have to be your pastor, but there is something about having a mentor that will make you care that much more about what you do. They are someone to hold us accountable, and to

teach us. Everyone should have someone that they can glean from. I meet with my mentor monthly with questions I have, and he answers them in a way that no book could answer. He knows me, he cares about me and that make any lessons he has to teach me that much more meaningful. In the old days, people learned the ways of their trade through apprenticeships. What they did defined them. Now we have Hollywood to define us; rather than relationships and actions. This month is the eleventh annual National Mentoring Ta Month. Find something you’re passionate about, something you care about and then find MA someone who has gone before Pg 2 you. A man or a woman who Pg 3 Pg 7 has walked the path out, so Pg 8 they can be your guide as you walk the path yourself. I Pg 9 guarantee if we all took part in Pg 1 a mentoring program of some Pg 1 sort, our society would be bet- Pg 1 Pg 1 ter for it.

Tax Tips

Professional information on filing your tax returns in 2012 Editor’s Note: This article was originally printed in the Jan. 5 edition of The Chautauqua Star. Due to our own mistake, some information was incorrect. Please refer to this article when looking for correct tips regarding filing your 2011 tax return. We apologize for the inconvenience. 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 Elling, 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 earned 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 revocation of the tax exempt status remain deductible. 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 return preparer prepares 11 or more individual returns in 2012, they will be required to file 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. The cost of over-the-counter medicines may not be reimbursed with excludible income through the health FSA, HSA, HRA and Archer MSA unless the medicine is prescribed 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 1099 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 to put it on their return on page two next to their spouse’s occupation. The IP pin numbers were sent to selected taxpayers. The residential energy credit for non-business was extended through Dec. 31, 2011. Social Security will no longer be sending out statements showing 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 amount a taxpayer can elect to deduct in the current year as start up expenses if they started a new business is $5,000 instead of $10,000. The deduction is phased out dollar for dollar by the amount total start-up costs exceed $50,000. Any remaining costs that 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 $5,600.00 per employee if they hire a veteran of the US Armed Forces who has been unemployed for 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 $2,400.00 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 $9,600.00. In addition, Elling 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 Wdows is $11,600. Head of Household is $8,500. Verna Elling is an Enrolled Agent and a retired IRS Revenue Officer/Offer in Compromise Specialist. She owns her own business called Elling Tax Consultants located in Forestville. She prepares tax returns and does payment agreements and offers in compromise for 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.

US Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Contributed Article US Marine Corps

This year was a big success. Before thanks is given to all the organizations that helped to make Toys for Tots a success, a quick look into the history of the Toys for Tots program is in order. Toys for Tots was started by the Marine Corps Reserves after World War II by Marine Corps Reservists who had been fighting in the South Pa-

cific in brutal combat against the Japanese Empire. After being home for a while, they became bored and decided to make Christmas a little better for kids and named it Toys for Tots. Back then old toys were collected, such as bikes and tricycles, and repaired and touched up by giving them a new coat of paint. Today all the toys are new, and organizations and clubs like Lake Shore Street and Rod based in Dunkirk are to thank. They not only work

hard helping the Marines collect toys, they also donate hundreds of dollars every year to the VA and Hospice. Also, a special thanks goes out to the Sheridan VFW Post #6390, Silver Creek VFW Post #6472, Amvets Post #6472, Silver Creek American Legion Post #148 and all the customers that come into the Marine Club brining in toys for Toys for Tots, as well as the Dunkirk Medical VA.

Brooks Memorial Hospital Encourages Community to Dispose of Sharps Properly Contributed Article Brooks Memorial Hospital

Used “sharps” (i.e., needles, syringes, and lancets) can present very hazardous situations when disposed of improperly. When thrown in the trash without taking the proper precautions, these items have been known to puncture the skin of people managing the waste at a later date - often making them very ill. To help avoid this potentially dangerous situation, Brooks Memorial Hospital has long accepted used sharps from the community for proper disposal through their Safe SHARPS Disposal Program. As part of this process, Brooks Memorial Hospital has placed a specially designed disposal kiosk near the rear of the hospital on Eagle Street. The kiosk resembles a large, black mailbox, but is intended only for the disposal of home generated medical sharps. Area residents are encouraged to bring their used medical sharps directly to this kiosk for proper and safe disposal. Before sharps can be placed in the kiosk, individuals need to place them in a rigid, leakproof, puncture-resistant, and sealable bottle. A good ex-

Finding Your Best Life Through A Personal Coach By Patricia Pihl Star Staff Writer

Life is an on-going process of change and who doesn’t want to improve upon some aspect of it? Just ask Brenda Hayes, Ph.D., a personal life coach who practices in Fredonia. Ten years ago she was working in a private counseling practice in Philadelphia. She had decided to move back to the area to help her mother with the family farm in Portland. The pressure was mounting as her youngest child was nearing college graduation. “I didn’t know where to start. Even though I helped people with these things all the time, there were so many pieces to coordinate...so many decisions to make.” Just by chance, Hayes had won two telephone “coaching” sessions. During the first, she was asked about the stress she was experiencing. After discussing the transition, Hayes said she and her coach created a list of things to be done and a timeline for when the tasks would be completed. Reflecting on the experience, she says, “I lived by it for the next three years and that’s what got me through.” She never used her second session. The experience opened her eyes to the field of coaching as a career option. She moved back to the area and began to

make the transition from a mental health professional to what is popularly termed a life coach, or what Hayes prefers to call herself- a “personal” coach. Personal coaching vs. counseling Unlike counseling, where there is usually a mental health diagnosis, personal coaching according to Hayes, “bridges the gap between where you are and where you want to be in your personal or professional life, focusing on strengths and options rather than problems.” Hayes says the field evolved out of a business model that helped people in work situations to reach their maximum potential. If a person is experiencing more severe mental health problems, she recommends that they see a licensed mental health provider, rather than a coach. She acknowledges that there might be some misunderstanding about the field and some may even chuckle when they hear the term “life coach.” In addition, there is no licensure for coaches. Some, she says only work on specific areas such as career issues, loss and grieving, or even helping students gain college entrance. “It was too narrowing to be that specific...I decided that transition across the lifespan made more sense.” Hayes received her Ph.D. in human development and worked in

human service for many years. She has also worked extensively with children. “My degree is in human development; I’ve always been interested in prevention, education, health and well-being.” Whatever the focus, she will work with clients to identify their goals, providing the support and specific steps needed. Some of the issues she Brenda J.

haven’t seen 100 times.” Relationships Relationships are another important aspect of people’s lives they seek to improve through a personal coach. Couples may find that they are arguing more or drifting apart as they feel bogged down by their busy lifestyle. “A negative pattern is established when they interact with each other and they want to come in to learn how to do things differently...to work more effectively as a team.” In addition, many people also struggle in their relationships with their adult children. “Their children might be angry with them or they have had a conflict.They want to have a good relationship, but don’t know what they can do differently..how to go about the process.” In coaching her clients in this area she says many times people have turned around very negative relationships that could have gotten worse. “So we will develop some alternatives, some possibilities and they’ll decide what is most appropriate for them.” For instance instead of saying, if I were you, I’d do this, a parent might say, “‘I have some suggestions about that but I don’t want to share those unless you’d like. It’s completely up to you whether or not you decide to act on the ideas.’” Her other suggestions are learn to listen

5 and don’t jump in too quickly to give advice, which is a turnoff for adult children. A ‘gift” to yourself Hayes says that she is actually surprised at the number of people who have chosen to use her coaching, both on an individual basis and through her workshops. She also helps individuals evaluate areas of their life though a “wheel” of life exercise where they can rank their level of satisfaction with each life area including health, work, finances, personal growth, spirituality, significant relationship, family and friends. To those who are considering hiring a coach, she says “consider it as a gift to yourself; it will help you get organized on what your priorities are and what kind of energy you want to put into it.” The first appointment is an hour and a half and subsequent appointments are one hour. “Sometimes one or two sessions are all that are needed to get people started in the right direction” she says. Hayes’ office is located at 123 East Main Street in Fredonia. To schedule an appointment or get a complete listing of scheduled workshops, interested persons may contact her directly at (716) 785-3555 or go to www.brendajhayesphd. com.

Opera House Cinema Series to Screen “J. Edgar”

1891 Fredonia Opera House

If you have photography questions for which you’d like some expert answers, you won’t want to miss the next Audubon Photography Club meeting on Thursday, Jan. 12. During the program at the Audubon Center and Sanctuary, a panel of four will take on all photo questions: camera use, gizmos, digital darkroom, etc. The camera lesson that opens the 7 to 9 p.m. program will be three five-minute book reviews. “Panning” – or photos showing motion -- is the subject for the image critique that begins at 6:30 pm. Members are invited to photograph a moving object, trying out panning or partial panning and perhaps slower shutter speeds to indicate speed. A social time follows the program. Visitors are asked to pay $5 that can be applied toward

“J. Edgar,” the revealing biopic of longtime FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, is the next featured film at the 1891 Fredonia Opera House. It will be screened on Sat., Jan. 14, at 8 p.m. and Tues., Jan. 17, at 7:30 p.m. as part of the Opera House Cinema Series. During his lifetime, Hoover would rise to be the most powerful man in America. As head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation for nearly 50 years, he would stop at nothing to protect his country. Through eight presidents and three wars, Hoover waged battle against threats both real and perceived, often bending the rules to keep his countrymen safe. His methods were at once ruthless and heroic, with the admiration of the world his most coveted, if ever elusive, prize. Hoover (Leonardo DiCaprio) was a man who placed great value on secrets – particularly those of others – and was not afraid to use that information to exert authority over the leading figures in the nation. Understanding that knowledge is power and fear poses opportunity, he used both to gain unprecedented influence and to build a reputation that was both formidable and untouchable. He was as guarded in his private life as he was in his public one, allowing only a small and protective inner circle into his confidence. His closest colleague, Clyde Tolson (Arnie Hammer), was also his constant companion. His secretary, Helen Gandy (Naomi Watts), who was perhaps most privy to Hoover’s designs, remained loyal to the end ... and beyond. Only Hoover’s mother (Dame Judi Dench), who served as his inspiration and his conscience, would leave him, her passing

Artist Profile – Thee Audience

By Dusten Rader Entertainment Editor

Jamestown native Rock ‘n Rollers Thee Audience announced that they will be taking a temporary hiatus during their last show at Mojo’s on January 7, 2012. The band wanted to thank their friends and fans who supported them throughout their career by celebrating their last show in their hometown at their favorite local venue. However, this is not the end of the line for the local musicians who made Thee Audience possible. Thee Audience started out in October of 2004 as a recording project that wasn’t ever supposed to transition to live shows. However, the band tried playing live and it caught on. From there the band’s fan base grew and eventually a full length album was also recorded. Up until recently Thee Audience was composed of Matthew Baxter on guitar and vocals, Mark Cooper on vocals and guitar, Ryan Ecklund on bass and Daniel Witherspoon on drums. The band’s newest album All At Once features these four musicians. However, Thee Audience hasn’t had much luck with retaining drummers. The band’s first album below and beyond featured James Saullo on percussion but they had a number of other drummers before Witherspoon joined. Now, Witherspoon is also stepping away from the band leaving them once again without a percussionist. This time instead of working on finding a new drummer the band has decided to take a temporary hiatus to work on other projects like their band Smackdab.

“We’ve been going for a little over seven years now,” said Baxter. “Smackdab was always like our main band and Thee Audience was a recording project that grew into our full time band. But, we’re definitely going to continue writing music together.” Thee Audience grew more than the band ever imagined. They got to open for some great acts including the French Kicks, The Walkmen, Ted Leo and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. “It started getting really fun and cool to do,” said Cooper. “But, I think we still have some of our best shows in us.” Throughout much of the Thee Audience’s time together the band played quite a few shows at Mojo’s of Jamestown. Because of Mojo’s good reputation of promoting local music it quickly became their favorite place to play. The band has quite a few good memories of playing at the venue. Baxter also handles the booking in conjunction with the owner

Gib Taylor. “Gib and Missy have been great,” said Baxter. “They have been like family to us and this is home base for us.” Thee Audience celebrated their last show at Mojo’s on January 7, 2012. Witherspoon wasn’t able to make it to the show so the band’s producer Justin Netti of Netti Records had the opportunity to play his first and last live show with Thee Audience.

“Because I’ve been so close to these guys I feel like I’ve been in the band for a long time,” said Netti. “I’ve been fans of theirs for years and they are some of my favorite musicians so I’m super excited to get to play with them.” Find out more about Justin Netti or Netti Records by visiting justinnetti.com or nettirecords.com. “If Netti didn’t live in Texas he’d likely be our full time drummer and go on

tour with us,” said Baxter. Netti has been working with the band for some time now. He began working with them because his cousin James Saullo was the drummer on below and beyond. Netti also worked on Thee Audience and Smackdab’s music videos, live recordings and other forms of media. “When they approached me to do the second album we had already been long time friends,” said Netti. “I already knew their style, we already clicked working together so it all sort of came together like the album title All At Once.” One of the great aspects to All At Once is that the album was recorded completely live and raw. So, when fans listen to the album they get the feeling they are at a live show but with studio recorded quality. “There is no isolation of any instrument,” said Netti. “They were all standing in the same room within six feet of each other. So, it sounds like a studio album but live at the same time.”

All At Once is a thirteen song album that features the newest work by the band. It offers listeners a different feel than the first album below and beyond. “You can notice the rifts are coming from the same writers,” said Netti. “But, it’s a whole new feel.” Netti will be promoting the album at South by Southwest (SXSW) in hopes of generating more interest in the band. To listen to their first album below and beyond visit their bandcamp at theeaudience. bandcamp.com. Or to listen to their newest album All At Once by finding the Thee Audience on iTunes where their two albums are also available for purchase. Thee Audience’s hiatus doesn’t mean that the band is calling quits. According to Baxter the future is uncertain and the possibility of finding a new drummer isn’t ruled out yet. “We’re not holding rehearsals or searching for a new drummer,” said Cooper. “But, if we found someone it would have to be someone that we get along with.” In the meantime they will be focusing on playing live with their other band Smackdab. Smackdab has a new booking agent so the band hopes some new opportunities will come along through that avenue. They also hope to record a new album with Smackdab to release later in 2012. “We’ll hopefully have it done by the Great Blue Heron Music Festival which we’re playing at again this year,” said Baxter.

January 12, 2012 Edition – Main Section – A

Movie Review - Coming Soon to Theatres Star Staff Writer Amber Rinehart

It’s 2012 and each year Hollywood tries to outdo itself. Each year Hollywood tries to put out bigger and better (and hopefully more profitable) movies. So now that 2012 is here, what big movies are on the horizon? The Dark Knight Rises July 20. Christopher Nolan takes the helm yet again for the final film of the Batman trilogy. This is arguably the most highly anticipated film of the year. The first two films, Batman Begins and The Dark Knight were both major blockbusters and critical hits. The final film will again feature Christian Bale as Batman but introduces two new villains. After the death of Heath Ledger, who played the Joker in The Dark Knight, new villains needed to be written into the final film. Enter Bain and Catwoman. Tom Hardy and Anne Hathaway will fill these evil shoes as Batman, dealing with the death of his true love Rachel Dawes, fights to regain order in his city. After taking the blame for the crimes committed by Harvey “TwoFace” Dent at the end of the last film, The Dark Knight Rises promises to be the best film yet in this amazing trilogy. The Hunger Games March 23. Written by Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games is a trilogy of adventure/ fantasy novels. The first book in the series was published in 2008 with its sequels published in 2009 and 2010. Set in the future, the children of the districts of Panem are chosen at random to fight to the death in what is coined the Hunger Games for the amusement of the government and citizens of the nations capital. When they first came out, The Hunger Games novels were both critical and popular successes. I myself must admit that I love them. This is the movie I think I am looking the most forward to this year. Directed by Gary Ross, whose previous works include Pleaseantville and Seabiscuit and starring Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth, this film is expected to fill a bit of the void left after the conclusion of the epic ten-year journey of Harry Potter. The Avengers - May 4. Over the past few years, Hollywood has produced some amazing superhero movies. I talked about a number of these already in my review of superhero films, but to reiterate, the ones that take the storylines seriously and treat the subject matter with respect, tend to be very entertaining and inspirational. In 2008 Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk came out and this past year saw Thor and Captain America on the big screen. The Avengers brings all of these heroes, plus a number of others, together to help fight the most dangerous nemesis yet and save the world. All original actors including, Robert Downey Jr, Chris Hem-

sworth and Chris Evans will be returning to their roles. The only actor change comes from The Hulk. Edward Norton originated the role (not to be confused with Eric Bana, who did play the Hulk in 2003 in an unrelated film) but after not signing on to this new collaboration, Bruce Banner will now be played by Mark Ruffalo. The Avengers film has been the talk of both the comic book world and film world for a while now and is sure to be a major hit. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey - December 14. In 1937 JRR Tolkien published The Hobbit. This fantasy novel told the story of Bilbo Baggins as ventured out to find his share of a treasure that was being guarded by a dragon.

In 1954, Tolkien then published the first of his Lord of the Rings trilogy. Originally, The Lord of the Rings was meant to be a simple continuation of The Hobbit, but transformed into an epic tale of good vs. evil that is often hailed as one of the greatest stories ever written. After The Lord of the Rings films, directed by Peter Jackson, made over a billion dollars, it was a sure thing that The Hobbit would be made into a film as well. Two films actually. The second in the series, The Hobbit: There and Back Again is set to release in 2013. Returning to their roles include, Ian McKellen as Gandalf, Orlando Bloom as Legolas, Andy Serkis as Gollum and Elijah Wood as Frodo, just to name a few. Martin Freeman, best known as Tim from the UK version of The Office, plays the title role of the hobbit, Bilbo Baggins. Any fans of The Lord of the Rings trilogy or fantasy and adventure films in general should definitely look forward to this film. The Woman in Black February 3. Written by Susan Hill in 1983, The Woman in Black has been a novel, a play, a made-for-TV movie in 1989 and will now hit the big screen starring Daniel Radcliffe. After the death of Alice Drablow, a young lawyer named Arthur Kipps, played by Radcliffe, is summoned to a small, isolated town to settle her affairs. He soon realizes that things are not always as simple and innocent or even as safe as they appear. This period piece, horror movie promises both shock scares as well as an atmospheric terror, although I must admit that I am not certain if this movie is considered highly anticipated because of the story itself or because we are all so interested to see Radcliffe in his first postHarry Potter role. There are so many amazing movies coming out, I could literally write pages about it. Other big movies coming out this year include Snow White and the Huntsman, starring Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron, The Amazing Spiderman that promises to present Spiderman in a serious and relatable way, Dr. Seuss’s The Lorax, based on the Seuss classic and the newest Pixar original film called Brave. This year will also produce its fair share of sequels and remakes. Skyfall, which is the third film to star Daniel Craig as James Bond will hit theatres as will another spy film, The Bourne Legacy, which is the fourth film in the series. Other sequels include, Men in Black 3, Madagascar 3, Ice Age 3, The Expendables 2, Underworld Awakening (which is the fourth movie in the series) American Reunion (which is also the fourth movie in the American Pie series) and the final Twilight film just to name a few. Oh and they are also remaking Total Recall and 21 Jump Street. Wow. It is going to be a busy year! Mark your calendars and I’ll see you at the theatre.

High School Students Help Make Empty Bowls Fundraiser A Success Contributed Article E2CCB

High school students from throughout northern Chautauqua and southern Erie County helped make the recent Empty Bowls fundraiser in Dunkirk a tremendous success, raising money for the Chautauqua County Rural Ministry food bank. The event took place on Dec. 3 at the St. Hedwig Social Center, part of the Blessed Mary Angela Roman Catholic parish, and was organized by the Fredonia Potters Co-Op. High school juniors and seniors enrolled in the Culinary Arts Program at the Erie 2-Chautauqua-Cattaraugus BOCES LoGuidice Educational Center in Fredonia spent the three days preceding the event preparing the soups. In total, they made 30 gallons of soup of three varieties – cream of potato, hearty vegetable, and chicken noodle. Guests were offered a simple meal of soup and bread. They purchased one-of-a-kind ceramic bowls hand-crafted by members of the Fredonia Potters’ Co-Op, which were then filled with their choice of the soups. Each bowl had the Empty Bowls logo inside at the bottom, so that it shows when the soup has been eaten as a reminder of the ever-present need to help fight hunger in the nation and the world. Student Caley Harper, a senior from Brocton High School who is in her second year in

the Culinary Arts Program, not only helped prepare the soups, but also volunteered her time at the Dec. 3 event. “Empty Bowls started with high school kids, so it seemed appropriate that our own high school students would help with the undertaking. Preparing 30 gallons of soup from scratch was not only a good experience for the kids, but they got to give something back to the community as well,” said David Caccamise, Culinary Arts teacher at the LoGuidice Center. The Culinary Arts Program is a two-year Career & Technical Education program offered to high school juniors and seniors from throughout southern Erie and northern Chautauqua County at the LoGuidice Center. Students spend half the school day at the LoGuidice Center earning Regent’s Credits in the areas of math, science and English

language arts while preparing for a wide variety of careers and post-secondary educational programs related to the culinary arts. Culinary principles are thoroughly practiced in the areas of cooking, baking, food and ingredient preparation, menu planning, recipe conversion, equipment operation, banquet and buffet management, food service, and much more. E2CCB Career & Technical Education programs combine classroom instruction with hands-on experience. Students enrolled in CTE programs may participate in workplace internships; gain knowledge, skills, and experience in specialized fields of their choosing; and have the opportunity to pursue valuable industry licenses and certifications – all while meeting the necessary requirements to obtain a Regents Diploma.

with craft supplies. For this layout of January 2, 3, and 4, I used Tim Holtz Distress Ink in “Walnut Stain” on a foam brush to create the circular pattern and in”Antique Linen” on the edges of the journaling block; some patterned paper scraps; rhinestone stickers from the dollar store (not the best dollar I’ve ever spent the bling doesn’t stay on the adhesive) and a Micron pen for journaling. The “2” and “3” are Making Memories rub-ons in Hudson Tangerine, and the “4” is the “positive” from a paint stencil, with the edges of it inked with Close to My Heart ink in “Pacifica.” Everything was adhered with glue dots to create a fairly flat, yet not one-dimensional look. With 400 pages in the book, I’ll hopefully be able to keep “Project 2012” limited to one volume. It will travel well due to its small size but, if I decide not to bring it with me when I go on vacation later this year I can easily catch up on missing days. Of course, with my ever-evolving scrapbooking style, it may morph into something entirely different. I’m okay with that, since I’m

not adhering to any hard rules other than taking daily photos. Some may be larger stories, some may be “Best Week Ever” - style reviews. As long as I’m documenting every day, I’m within the scope of the project. It going to be an interesting year. To Helen in Sunset Bay : Hello and Happy New Year!

That means that when we need something we should ask our Heavenly Father, not Jesus Christ. Jesus said that if we would pray this way, then God the Father would answer us. Jesus also said, however, that you must ask Father God, using Jesus’ Name. Please allow me to illustrate it in this way. There are many long distance telephone companies that offer a special rate if we first dial their access code. Without this code, we cannot access their services. According to

the Bible, the Name of Jesus is like an access code that allows God the Father to grant our petitions. The Name of Jesus represents all that Jesus Christ did for us and has made possible. When we use His Name in prayer, we will unlock all the blessings and promises that our Heavenly Father has given us in His Word.

are missing these moments in their lives and they are becoming convinced that God doesn’t hear them. What did Sarah do? It says, “Sarah received strength…because SHE JUDGED Him faithful that promised.” The word “judgment” means to render an opinion, to decide after deliberation, and to determine. Sarah delivered a powerful testimony that said, “God is strengthening my body, God is faithful, I will have this child.” As she judged God, He became exactly what she judged Him to be. Speak the words, “The Lord is the

strength of my life.” (Ps 27:1) Many people take the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior but few have received Him as Healer. Say, “The Lord is my Healer.” You must pass this judgment for God to become these things in your life. Sarah received because Sarah judged properly. “God is my peace, my joy, my provision forever!” Pray this: “Lord, I judge you to be faithful. You are my Savior, Healer, and Provider.” Don’t be deceived to believe that God decides alone what He will be in your life. He is waiting for your verdict.

Scrapbooking Today Project 2012: Week One

By Anne Walterich Contributing Writer

It’s just over one week into 2012 and I’ve already kept the crafty velocity of my New Year’s Resolutions. I’ve backed up my computer (have you?), organized some digital supplies and taken a photo every day anticipating I would turn it into a “Project : Life” or “Project 365” album. Technology has allowed daily memory keeping to be an easy, attainable goal that was previously far more difficult. Armed with my iPhone, Canon SELPHY CP800 printer, my laptop, Nikon D90 and some basic scrapbooking supplies, I’ve embarked on the quest to document this year, with all of the exciting events, the mundane occurrences, and ordinary beauty of daily life. If only I knew what to call it. “Project Annie” sounds too narcissistic to me, and what I want to do does not follow the structure of the aforementioned undertakings. “Project 2012” is the working title, but will definitely change once I’m

further into this. As much as I enjoy the basic structure of the photo-andstory-a-day “challenge” (I’ll always detest that word in the memory-keeping sense), I’m not about to follow the “rules” that go along with this kind of long-term endeavor. I don’t have the time or patience to create a layout every day, and, frankly, not every photo I take deserves a full scrapbook page with titles, journaling and embellishments. I don’t like the idea of just slipping some photos into a speciallydesigned page protectors for a weekly summary, and I’m not thrilled with collage-style scrapbooking. I knew I would have to invent my own way of compiling all of my little anecdotes, photos and memorabilia into a unified structure, and I found a way that would allow me to do that while working with one of my favorite mediums. I’m using an old hardcover novel as my platform. If I was doing a “One Little Word” album, this would be even more appropriate since the book’s title is “Velocity,” but it still fits

in because time only follows one speed and direction (so far.) The difficulty with altered books is that they have a finite size and number of pages, unlike a traditional scrapbook album that you can extend an add pages to, or a digital album, which has no limits whatsoever. Keeping the photos small, the embellishments minimal and the addition of patterned paper to a reasonable thickness will be difficult, but also a scrappy relief since I will be forced to keep it somewhat simpler than other formats.

This medium also lends itself well to using smaller photos, which takes the pressure off of trying to be Annie Leibovitz every day instead of Annie Walterich. iPhone photos will do just fine, which is a relief, since I almost always have my phone with me, and not my large camera. I can also print two 2” X 3” photos per 4” X 6” sheet of photo paper, saving money as well as space. I’m up to day 9 now, and like the pace and simplicity of this. I can be as creative, artistic, or as boring as I want to be on any given day, without having to create too big of a mess

Keeping the Faith

By Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church of Chautauqua County

Dear Pastor, how should I pray? Dear Reader, doesn’t it makes sense that if we want to understand prayer, we need to go directly to its originator, God the Father? So I’ll answer your question by going to where God speaks about His will on all subjects for the Believer. The Bible is the Christian’s most logical and the only authoritative source on the subject of prayer. While some writers may have great thoughts or studies on

the topic of prayer, we must remember that God gave us His Word to be primary and a place for very clear instructions on how to pray. In the Gospel of John (16:23-24) Jesus said, “And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you. (24) Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.” When Jesus said, “in that day,” He was referring

to the time after His resurrection when He returns to sit at the right Hand of His Father. Jesus said that when that day comes, we should not ask Him for anything in prayer. We are now living “in that day” and need to follow Jesus’ directives regarding prayer. If Christians are not to address their prayers to Jesus, who should they pray to? Jesus answered that question in John 16:23 by explaining that all of our petitions should be addressed to God the Father.

Weekly Word God on Trial

Rev. Tim Stahlman Family Church of the Southern Tier

Faith is simply the verdict we render of God. Either we testify of His salvation, goodness,

power, and provision or we press charges against Him as being aloof and indifferent. At all times you are standing at the witness podium declaring what God is in your life. Your reaction to life is your testimony. Most have rendered God as being an absentee Father. Others have testified that He is the perpetrator of the circumstances they wish to be free from. But from the lips of the faithful streams a constant sworn testimony that convicts God of being their strength. God is always on trial in the court of your opinion. The verdict you render of Him there will determine what He becomes in your life.

Hebrews 11:11 says, “Through faith also Sarah herself RECEIVED STRENGTH to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, BECAUSE SHE JUDGED HIM FAITHFUL THAT HAD PROMISED.” When Sarah, Abraham’s wife, was well stricken in years she became pregnant with the son that God promised to Abraham. The circumstances were grim. Her body did not function like that of a young woman. Every natural circumstance said that she would never be a mother. But, in the realm of God, there was another reality available to her. The natural circumstances acted like a

Most modern Christians would have looked at the facts and then turned to a traditional form of rhetoric like, “Well if it happens then God must have willed it and if not then it wasn’t meant to be.” No!

Q&A

How to stop a chewing cat Q: My cat has developed this really weird habit of sucking on fabric. She seems to be in some kind of a state while she’s doing it, almost like she’s on a drug. The throw at the end of our bed seems to attract the most attention, and it has three places where there are “sucked-up” areas that are pretty much ruined. Before I replace it, I’d like to cure her of the habit. Should I use that nasty stuff to stop pets from chewing on the areas? — via email A: The behavior you’ve described is generally called “wool-chewing,” and it’s not uncommon, especially in the so-called “Oriental” breeds such as the Siamese. While the target is often a soft fabric such as wool, some cats prefer other objects, perhaps plastic grocery bags. No one’s really sure what causes the behavior, but since it is more common in some breeds than in others, it is suspected to have a genetic component. People have long believed that wool chewing was a result of a kitten who was separated from the mother too soon (probably because the behavior looks like nursing), but that’s no longer believed to be the case. Best guess: It’s one of those habits that relieves stress and brings comfort. Unfortunately, there is no 100 percent effective cure. Things to try: • Put away the heirlooms and cashmere. If your cat prefers soft wool, put your finest away and keep the drawers closed. Keep bedroom doors closed to protect your good blankets. • Use deterrents. Set out some “decoy” blankets (along with the already ruined one), and apply Bitter Apple, Tabasco, hot pepper oil or a similar product. Spraying fabrics lightly with perfume is also a common recommendation. • More exercise. Daily play with your cat may also help — and it certainly won’t hurt. In addition to interactive play, bring in food puzzles to keep your cat busy and entertained. — Gina Spadafori

While old advertising may suggest otherwise, smoking and pets has never been a good combination. • Need help with a New Year’s resolution to stop smoking? Do it for your pet. Three separate studies at three different veterinary colleges showed that dogs and cats whose owners smoke are more likely to develop health problems from secondhand smoke, including cancers of the nose, lung and lymphatic system.

Of concern to both physicians and veterinarians is the discovery of a new tick-borne bacterium causing ehrlichiosis that has been discovered in Wisconsin and Minnesota. According to DVM360.com, researchers at the Mayo Clinic, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and the universities of Minnesota and Wisconsin, more than two dozen people have contracted the disease. So far, despite the testing of thousands of ticks, this particular strain has not been found outside of the two states yet. • Animal bites should never be taken lightly, even if they seem minor at first. Even “minor” cat bites are like a hypodermic needle jamming bacteria deep into the flesh, and they can become a severe medical crisis. Pet rodents could also be carrying deadly disease. If bitten by an animal, immediately head to the sink for a lot of soap and water, and keep the lather and rinsing coming for about three minutes. Then call your doctor for treatment advice — you may need antibiotics. — Mikkel Becker and Dr. Marty Becker

Ironmen Head To Janesville, Second Half Underway By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

All things considered, it’s been a quiet past few weeks for the Jamestown Ironmen. After a grueling opening two months, the Ironmen have welcomed a refreshing break in the schedule that has seen them play just four out of the past eight weekends. They had played in the previous nine straight weekends. “It was a chance to rejuvenate some of the boys,” head coach Dan Daikawa said. “A lot of them haven’t played in this many games.” With 34 games in the books, Jamestown sits in last place of the North American Hockey League’s North Division. But considering four of the five teams in the division make the playoff, Jamestown’s season is anything but over with still 26 games left to play. Heading into play Wednesday night, Jamestown was within 10 points of both Traverse City (eight points behind, three more games played) and Michigan (nine points behind, three games in hand). And with nine games left against Traverse City and another three against Michigan, the Ironmen haven’t quite the hit the door-die stretch just yet. “It’s a little too early to look ahead,” Daikawa said. “We have to keep working on improving every day and if we take care of our home games, we’ll be OK.” The road will start this weekend when the Ironmen travel to Janesville, Wis. to take on the Jets, one of the premier teams in the league. Janesville sits atop the Midwest Division with 55 points and really all but clinched a playoff spot

already. They have the third most points in the entire league and are led by Garrett Cecere, a defenseman who has already committed to play at Colorado College, a Division I school, next year. Cecere has four goals and 10 assists this year and carries a +9 rating. The Jets also boast four double-digit goal scorers in Jordan Bancroft (16), Connor McBride (16), Pijus Rulevicius (13) and John Olen (10). In comparison, Jamestown has three (Jeff McFarland, Anthony Coles and Nick Bingaman).

“For one thing, it will be a good benchmark for us,” Daikawa said. “Playing one of the top teams in the league gives us an opportunity to see where we stand. But it’s a good test and we’re looking forward to the challenge.” With the scheduling quirks of the NAHL, teams only play out of division a handful of times. Jamestown, along with the rest of the teams from the North Division plays teams from the Midwest Division eight times. Unfortunately for the Ironmen, they drew Janesville for

four of those games. “It’s a tough draw, but we got did pretty well against Chicago (Jamestown’s other Midwest Division games),” Daikawa said. “It’s also our longest trip of the year.” Jamestown will return home after the two games Friday and Saturday night and begin another long homestand, their second last of the season. They’ll host Port Huron Jan. 20 and 21 and Kalamazoo Feb. 2 through Feb. 4.

Chautauqua Lake Battles Injuries, Beats Pine Valley By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

It was a nice addition for head coach Chris Dole to get his leading scorer Jason McMahon back on the floor Monday night against defending Class D champion Pine Valley. But still missing two other starters in Cody Thomas and Dan Gleason, though, is another story. “I’ve joked around with some of the guys about how there’s not an ‘I’ in team,” Dole said. “There are two: injuries and illness.” While McMahon returned from an ankle injury after missing the last five games, Thomas and Gleason both were unavailable for a key divisional contest with the Panthers. “We’ve been hit hard by the flu,” Dole said. “I wish it would take out one of us coaches instead of the players. They’re the ones on the floor.” Regardless, the Thunderbirds jumped out to a 13-7 lead after the first quarter and played their usual defensive style to squeak out a 54-49 win.

“Pine Valley is no slouch,” Dole said. “That’s the defending Class D champions for Section VI and even though they lost a few guys, that’s still a good team. They’re always a good test for us. Between them, Maple Grove and Westfield, those are three teams we test ourselves against to see where we are.” It was a tight battle throughout as the two teams went back and forth all night and with the game still in the balance late, Chautauqua Lake got a boost from some of their reserves. Cole Gleason and Jeremiah Russin stepped in and played extremely well. Gleason hit a layup and was fouled and made the ensuing free throw to give Chautauqua Lake some breathing room late. Russin then made a pair of free throws to keep the Thunderbirds up by two possessions. “Russin starts for us sometimes and he really stepped up,” Dole said. “He grabbed a bunch of rebounds. He contributed very well.” Russin finished with 13 points and also had three steals. Gleason’s three

points in the final minutes were his only points of the game, but big none the less. McMahon finished with 17 points, nine rebounds and four assists in his game back and Dole said having his presence on the floor was key. “He’s definitely our best athlete,” Dole said. “He’s still our leading scorer in several categories even while being out. As a coaching staff, we didn’t know how he would handle the pressure and if he could score. He did both, he was great.” The win for Chautauqua Lake was a big one as it moved their record to 3-2 in division and into third place of Chautauqua Cattaraugus Athletic Association (CCAA) III. The loss dropped Pine Valley to 4-4 (2-2 CCAA III). The defending Class D sectional champions have gone through their ups and downs this season, but should still be a force in the Class D playoffs with Lyle Howard. Howard had 18 points and 10 rebounds and kept the Panthers close throughout the game. Nate Nobles

chipped in with nine points and five rebounds. The Panthers host Westfield Thursday night. For Chautauqua Lake, they play winless Ellicottville Thursday night and hope to keep things rolling with McMahon in the lineup. Despite a 4-7 record, they’re 3-3 in games he plays. “Ellicottville is a huge game for us,” Dole said. “It’s a divisional game and it gives us a chance to get to 4-2 and two games behind Maple Grove. It’s also a key game to pick up some points for playoff seeding.” After that, though, Chautauqua Lake will have 15 days off between games and won’t play again until Jan. 27 against Westfield. But considering the injuries, that might not be a bad thing. “We’ll take this one game at a time and worry about the break after Ellicottville,” Dole said. “But hopefully we can get healthy in those two weeks. It’ll be tough to go that long without a game and we’ll work hard in practice but the key will be to get guys healthy.”

Elmira Edges Blue Devils In First Game Back From Winter Break Contributed Article Fredonia Sports Information

FREDONIA, N.Y. — Elmira scored twice on special teams and held off Fredonia State, 2-1, Tuesday at the Steele Hall Ice Arena. Brendan Sanders had a short-handed goal while Kevin Willer scored on a power play as the No. 11 ranked Soaring Eagles improved to 9-5-1. Mike Monfredo had the Fredonia State goal. It came at 15:40 of the third period and set up a nail-biting finish. The Blue Devils pulled their goaltender for the final 90 seconds and earned a 6-on-3 skating advantage when Elmira was called for having too many men on the ice with 6.7 seconds left.

The Blue Devils were in the process of killing that penalty when Muhs was called for holding at 16:52. That gave Elmira a 5-on-3 advantage for the next 48 seconds. Bradley Nunn made the first big play of the sequence when he blocked a hard, low slapshot. Gaoltender Mark Friesen followed with a pad save and then blocked another shot off his chest before covering the puck (he finished with 19 saves).

No End In Sight For Tebow Mania

Chris Winkler COMMENTARY

Before we get into this, let me say I was never a big Tim Tebow fan. I’ve always preferred college to the NFL and considering I’ve never 4. liked the University of Florida, I’ve known about — and not , liked — Tebow since the day y he stepped on the Gainesville ints campus in 2006. and That’s not to say he’s not a good th person or even a really good ds. athlete. That’s all beside the point. I’ve simply never liked -4 him because he wasn’t my e team’s quarterback and I didn’t k- think he was good enough to make it in the NFL. But for reference, I also didn’t think Cam Newton would be very good and considering I probably watch more SEC W-L football than anyone, I guess 4-0 now isn’t a good time to quit my job in hopes of being the 4-0 next Mel Kiper Jr. 4-1 Anyhow, at some point through3-2 out the season, my thoughts on 2-4 Tebow all began to change. Not just because the Broncos were 2-4 winning, albeit that certainly was 1-4 a prime reason. 0-5 To be honest, the more I started to watch the Broncos, it became evident to me that although Tebow still had those obvious problems we saw in college (long, unorthodox deW-L livery and wasn’t very accurate) 5-0 he wasn’t actually a terrible 4-0 NFL quarterback. 3-1 The numbers would certainly suggest otherwise and I’m not 4-1 going to sit here and tell you a 2-2 win-loss record is the only stat 0-4 that matters (even though it is). Still, the fact is having a kicker 0-4 boot 50-plus yard field goals 0-5 and a defense allow 15 points or fewer in five of eight games will win you more games than not. It comes with one caveat though: having a quarterback — or an offense — that doesn’t turn the ball over. To put this all together, Tebow wasn’t necessarily winning all of those games, but it still didn’t mean he couldn’t actually do it. Broncos coach John Fox was so incredibly conservative with Tebow under center, he made Dick Jauron-run teams look like the old Texas Tech offenses run by Mike Leach. But, Tebow often obliged, despite a few noticeable hiccups (the Buffalo game included) by not turning the ball over. Still though, at the same time, it became frustrating for me — and surely Broncos fans alike — that Tebow was restrained so much. He doesn’t throw that bad of a deep ball and while his accuracy to the sidelines is atrocious, he was having some noticeable success getting the ball down the field as witnessed in many of his late game comebacks. Can you blame Fox for not changing what was working? Of course not. He found a way to bleed the clock for three quarters, keep the score close and in the end, find a way to win.

When things backfired (see: Lions, Patriots, Bills games) Tebow’s numbers were well, awful, but would you believe he threw only two interceptions all season long until that Bills game? Regardless, despite a threegame losing streak to end the season, Denver made the playoffs by winning the AFC West Division with an 8-8 record. They were rewarded with a home game, but did have to play the defending AFC Champion Pittsburgh Steelers. Look we all thought the Steelers would win, but as in my case, I thought the Steelers defense was capable of shutting virtually every team down, not just Tebow. But what we saw was when the Broncos were willing to throw the ball, good things happened. Sure Tebow completed just 10-of-21 passes, but again, no interceptions. And oh yeah, 316 passing yards and an 80yard touchdown pass none of us will ever forget. It’s really become quite the anomaly. In the age of the quarterback, where you supposedly need to complete 60-to-65 percent of your passes to be considered elite, a guy that can’t get over 50 percent is winning games. There’s nothing to argue about Tebow being the best quarterback in the league. He’s far from it. I don’t even put him in the top half of starting quarterbacks, but I also don’t think that should matter. If you want to rely on your defense, why can’t you? Do you absolutely need a top-tier quarterback to win games? They’re not going to blow teams out just how Tebow isn’t going to throw for 400 yards. They’re perfectly happy with keeping the clock running and forcing you to go the length of the field against them. In the Steelers game, twice the defense stiffened up to force field goals in the first half. I probably wasn’t the only one who questioned how much not getting in the end zone would come back to haunt Pittsburgh. Regardless, you can say whatever you would like to about Tebow’s abilities, but at the end of the day, the Broncos are one of the last eight teams playing football and he’s a big reason why. Do I think they can beat the New England Patriots? Well, crazier things have happened (which is code for absolutely not). But I do expect their defense to make the proper adjustments and not let up 40 points to New England again. Also, considering the Patriots pass defense was ranked 31st this year, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Broncos mix in a few pass plays early, especially deep. But, no I don’t see Denver winning this game, but it shouldn’t be as ugly as that two-touchdown point spread might indicate. As far as Tebow is concerned, though, I wouldn’t mind having a 24-year-old quarterback leading my team into the second round of the playoffs. Think about this: Saturday’s game against the Pats will mark just the 16th start of his career. He’s still a kid. And for that, you can at least trust my knowledge here. We haven’t seen the end of Tebow Mania just yet.

Van Tatenhove, Jenkins Lead Bonnies To A-10 Opening Win Contributed Article

St. Bonaventure Sports Information

ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. — Megan Van Tatenhove recorded her sixth career double-double, Jessica Jenkins tallied 16 points and Alaina Walker added 11 as St. Bonaventure (14-2, 1-0 Atlantic 10) opened conference play with a 61-53 win over visiting Duquesne (12-4, 0-1 A-10) Saturday afternoon at the Reilly Center. Trailing 18-17 with six minutes left in the opening half, the Bonnies closed the stanza on a 10-0 run and led by no fewer than six the rest of the afternoon, extending the cushion to as large as 13 at one point. Van Tatenhove finished with 13 points and a game-high 11 rebounds for her second double-double of the season. In the process, the Wisconsin native became the ninth member of the school's 1,000 Point & 500 Rebound Club with a board in the opening minutes. Jenkins tallied 12 of her gamehigh point total in the opening half, and knocked down all seven of her career-high-tying free throws. Walker — for the first time this season and just the second in her career — tallied double-digit points in consecutive games. The Bona defense held Duquesne to its third-lowest point total of the year, includ-

ing just 18 in the first half. The Dukes entered the game statistically the best offense in the A-10 (72.2 per game), while Bonaventure came in as the league's second-best defensive team (51.4 per game). The aggressive Bonnies forced Duquesne into 20 fouls, and the nation's 15th-best freethrow shooting team put that on display against the Dukes, knocking down 18-20 for a 90-percent clip. Four of those fouls were committed by leading scorer and rebounder Wumi Agunbiade, who netted just eight and pulled down three boards in a season-low 17 minutes. The Bonnies snapped Agunbiade's streak of 14 straight games in double-figure scoring, holding her eight below her scoring average and four off her

rebounding pace. Alex Gensler tallied 15 and Orsi Szecsi netted 11 to pace the Dukes' offensive attack, which shot 42.3 percent (22-52) from the floor, but just 14.3 percent (2-14) from 3-point range. The win gives the Brown and White its conference-leading 14th victory of the season, and continues the best-ever start in program history. St. Bonaventure returns to action next Wednesday, Jan. 11, at Temple. The Owls, along with Dayton, were picked to win the A-10 as the two clubs split the 14 first-place votes. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. from Philadelphia. NOTES: Van Tatenhove's other double-double this year came off an 18-point, 10-re-

bound performance against Indiana … Walker's only other consecutive double-digit scoring games came last season against Massachusetts (Jan. 29 – 11 points) and Dayton (Feb. 2 – 10 points) … junior Chelsea Bowker scored seven points, redshirt senior Armelia Horton added six and Doris Ortega and CeCe Dixon each contributed four … Dixon and Ortega did not play in the first half … Duquesne now leads the all-time series, 29-16 … Jenkins hit three 3's … Horton dished out a seasonhigh-tying four helpers, which she set last time out against Sacred Heart … junior Jordan McGee played 12 minutes and pulled down two boards, while senior Jennie Ashton logged eight minutes.

Nicholson Reaches Scoring, Rebounding Milestones in Loss to Duquesne Contributed Article

St. Bonaventure Sports Information

PITTSBURGH — Andrew Nicholson scored all 11 of his points in the second half to put the Bonnies in striking distance, but Duquesne (10-6, 1-1 Atlantic 10) responded with a 13-0 run to pull ahead en route to a 66-52 victory over St. Bonaventure (8-6, 1-1) at the Palumbo Center. Nicholson added six rebounds and stormed into the second half by scoring 10 of the Bonnies' first 13 points. The senior became the 10th player in school history to score more than 1,700 in a career (1,710 — ninth all-time) and moved to ninth on career rebounds ledger (711). Duquesne had built a 2923 halftime cushion, but was in front just 39-37 after Nicholson – who played six first-half minutes due to two fouls – scored on a dunk, put back and fadeaway, all before a traditional three-point play

Third time’s a charm Unlike freshman, sophomore classes, new Hall of Fame list greeted with wide approval

here was considerable second-guessing about the picks for the first two classes of the NASCAR Hall of Fame, but the consensus is that the voting panel got it right in determining the third group of five that will be inducted in Charlotte, N.C., on Jan. 20. In the group are Cale Yarborough and Darrell Waltrip, both of whom have three championships in the division now known as Sprint Cup and are among the all-time Cup win leaders (Yarborough has 83, and Waltrip 84). Crew chief Dale Inman, who leads all his peers with 193 race wins and eight championships, is going in along with team owner and driver Glen Wood. Also being inducted is the late Richie Evans, the undisputed king of NASCAR’s Modified Division and the first driver not affiliated with the Cup series to be inducted in the Hall. Here’s a look at the five inductees.

Glen Wood grew up in the Virginia mountain community of Buffalo Ridge, just outside Stuart, where his race teams were based for decades and where he still runs the Wood Brothers Museum. Throughout his 86 years, Wood has been known for his strong work ethic. As a boy, he hoed corn and picked apples for his grandfathers. By the time he was a teenager he was doing heavy lifting at local sawmills. It was during his time as a sawmiller that he became a fan of the then-fledgling sport of stock car racing and of one of its early stars, fellow Virginian Curtis Turner. Wood and a group of friends built a race car, and Wood drove his first race at Morris Speedway, a dirt track near Martinsville, Va., back in 1950. Soon he was winning short-track races across Virginia and the Carolinas. He was at his best at Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem, N.C., the track known then and now as “The Madhouse” for its rough-and-tumble style of racing. Wood, labeled the “Master of the Madhouse” in his driving days, scored 29 wins in the Modified, Sportsman Convertible and Cup divisions at the Stadium, more than any other driver up to that point. He also was among the best on the old beach-road course at Daytona, where he dominated the Sportsman division from 1956-58, winning the pole and the race all three years. As the sport grew and moved on to Glen Wood big new superspeedways, Wood began (NASCAR photo) turning his cars over to other drivers, and he and his brothers Leonard, Ray Lee, Delano and Clay focused on preparing the cars and pitting them on race days. The Woods are credited with perfecting the modern pit stop, and their pit prowess earned them international recognition in 1965, when they stunned the racing world with their work on Jim Clark’s winning Lotus in the Indianapolis 500. Clark’s total time in the pits for that race was just 41.9 seconds. With his brother Leonard working as crew chief and fielding only Fords and Mercuries, the Woods focused on the better-paying superspeedway races and employed many of the sport’s alltime best drivers, including David Pearson, a member of the second NASCAR Hall of Fame class, and current inductee Cale Yarborough. Wood’s team still fields cars in the Cup Series and is now approaching its 63rd season, making it the longest-tenured team in the sport. It is also among the most successful. The Woods’ win in last year’s Daytona 500 was its 98th in the Sprint Cup Series. Dale Inman grew up Level Cross, N.C., along with his cousins Richard and Maurice Petty, who were the sons of NASCAR pioneering driver Lee Petty.

Cale Yarborough speaks to the media following the 2010 NASCAR Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony Announcement at the NASCAR Hall of Fame on August 16, 2011 in Charlotte, N.C. Yarborough is among this year’s inductees. (NASCAR photo) The three youngsters soon gravitated to the Petty race shop, where they helped with the preparation of the cars and often traveled to the race tracks. Eventually Richard took up driving, Maurice concentrated on building engines, and Inman became a crew chief. In 1967, the team had one of the most dominating seasons in NASCAR history, winning 27 races, including a NASCAR-record 10 straight, all with Dale Inman the same race car. Inman was crew chief for all of (NASCAR photo) Petty’s seven Cup titles and for 192 of Petty’s 200 victories. He left the team after winning the 1981 Daytona 500 and went to work as Dale Earnhardt’s crew chief at Rod Osterlund’s team. But Osterlund sold the team to J.D. Stacy, and Earnhardt left the team. Inman eventually signed on with team owner Billy Hagan and driver Terry Labonte, and the combo won the 1984 Cup title. Inman returned to Petty Enterprises in 1986 and continues to serve as a consultant to Richard Petty Motorsports. In a relatively brief 13-year career, Richie Evans of Rome, N.Y., came to dominate one of NASCAR’s toughest divisions, the Modifieds. Historians have documented at least 478 feature wins, and there’s no doubt about his title runs. He won nine national titles in all, including eight in a row from 1978-1985. He won that final title even though he was killed while practicing for the October race at Martinsville Speedway. That year, 1985, was the first under the current format for the Whelen Modified Tour, and Evans won 12 of the 29 events. He also won 28 track championships at 11 venues in four states. All were in the Modified division. His car number, 61, is the only one Richie Evans that has been retired from a major (Undated NASCAR photo) NASCAR series. Darrell Waltrip is one that many felt should have been included in one of the first two classes of the Hall of Fame

Cale Yarborough, from Sardis, S.C., is considered one of the toughest drivers to ever sit behind the wheel of a race car. Legend has it that, among other things, he flew an airplane without taking lessons, wrestled an alligator and lived through being struck by lightning. His introduction to big-time auto racing also is the stuff of legend as he lied about his age, saying he was 21 instead of 18, and started the 1957 Southern 500 at Darlington. He was black-flagged when officials discovered that he was behind the wheel of the No. 30 Ford, not car owner Bobby Weatherly, who was supposed to be driving the car after officials determined that Yarborough had falsified his license application. He won his first Cup race, at Valdosta, Ga., in 1965 and before he was through won 82 more, including four Daytona 500s. He also won 69 poles, fourth on the all-time list, and a record 12 at Daytona.

NOTEBOOK

Decent Cup ride eludes Ragan The recent off-season has seen an unusually high number of drivers moving to new rides, shifts that started when Kurt Busch and his car owner Roger Penske parted company after the 2011 season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway. But as the pieces are rapidly falling into place, David Ragan is finding himself without a competitive Sprint Cup ride. Ragan lost his full-time ride in the No. 6 Ford at Roush Fenway Racing when sponsor UPS scaled back its spending. He was one of the leading candidates to replace Busch at Penske’s team, but A.J. Allmendinger got that job. Other disappointments followed, but Ragan still sounded upbeat late last week as he discussed his future. “There’s nothing set in stone, and no paperwork signed, and I’m still looking,” Ragan said, adding that he’s talked to owners in not only the Cup Series but also the Nationwide and Camping World Truck circuits. He said he’d rather have a competitive ride in one of the lower divisions than drive a back-marker car in the Cup Series. “I’d hate to be in a Cup car that’s not a good one, just to be in Cup,” he said. Ragan’s struggles are somewhat surprising given his resume. He got his first Cup victory back in July at Daytona, and he posted four top-five and eight top-10 finishes this season. His best year in Cup was back in 2008, when he barely missed the cut for the Chase and finished the season with six top-five and 14 top-10 finishes and a 13th-place points finish. He had a strong year in the Nationwide Series in 2009, winning twice and posting five top-five

because of his contributions as a driver and a broadcaster. His racing credentials certainly are Hall-worthy, as he won 84 Cup races and three championships. His contributions to the sport continued after his driving days as he’s become one of the main faces of the sport for TV viewers around the world. For Waltrip, it’s been a long trek from the days when he was racing short tracks around his hometown of Owensboro, Ky. His career began its upward spiral when he and his wife Stevie moved to Nashville, Tenn., where he soon became one of the stars at Fairgrounds Speedway, where he was the 1970 track champion. He started his first Cup race in 1972, at Talladega, where he ran just 69 laps before the engine blew in his No. 95 Mercury, leaving him with a 38th-place finish and a $680 payday. But his timing was good, as he joined the Cup circuit at a time when top drivers like Cale Yarborough, Richard Petty and David Pearson were much older than him. His brash, outspoken ways soon led Yarborough to refer to him as “Jaws.” But Waltrip wasn’t just a talker, he could drive with the best of them. His best years came while driving for Junior Johnson, the team owner who taught him how to win championships. Waltrip still maintains a large presence in the sport, as an analyst for the Darrell Waltrip in 1989. FOX and SPEED networks. (NASCAR photo)

David Ragan (NASCAR Photo) and 15 top-10 finishes in just 19 starts. And he did all that before his 26th birthday, which was back on Dec. 24. His biggest hurdle now, he said, is that to get a quality ride in today’s economic climate, a driver needs to first have the sponsorship secured. And if a driver isn’t one of the top four or five in the series, that can be a problem. “We’ve seen that with Matt Kenseth and Ryan Newman,” Ragan said. Even as he’s on the sidelines as his peers are preparing for this week’s test session at Daytona International Speedway, Ragan isn’t letting his situation get him down. “It’s been a little frustrating this off-season,” he said. “But I’m working as hard as I can, and I’m just 26 years old, so there will be more chances for me in the future.”

Officials from Rusty Wallace Racing announced last week that the team would not field cars for the time being. Wallace’s team, which had been running the Toyotas driven by his son Steve and by Michael Annett, hasn’t won a race since Jamie McMurray won at Darlington in 2004, and lost one of its primary sponsors, 5-Hour Energy, at the end of last season. The team plans to keep some of the business staff working to secure sponsors, but most of the key mechanics and team leaders have moved on to other teams. Steve Wallace Steve Wallace is still hop(NASCAR Photo) ing to secure a ride for 2012, and Annett and his sponsor, Pilot Flying J, are now free to move to another race team.

Widow of late driver Lund dies Wanda Lund Early, once the wife of the late NASCAR star Tiny Lund, was found dead in her Waynesville, N.C., home last week. Her family posted a statement on her Facebook page saying, in part: “The Family of Wanda Lund Early wishes to express their sincere thanks for the outpouring of public support, warm wishes and prayers surrounding the death of their mother, sister, grandmother and aunt. One will never know what ultimately led Wanda to make the decision to end her life, but the family wishes to extend their gratitude to all who were touched by her life and the generosity of spirit she showed to so many.”

Schools Of Bait Make Fishing Tough By Steve Peacock Star Outdoors Writer

Right now is not a good time of the year if you are a fisherman. As far as I know there are no good local fishing opportunities to be found. We have had just enough cold weather to freeze the first ten feet of any open water I’ve seen. Any ice that would be thick enough to fish on still seems a ways off yet. If you really want to fish the Dunkirk harbor is ice-free as always. The fishing there is tough right now because it is full of bait. Fish do come in to feed on the bait but it is not easy to get them to choose your bait instead. I also saw large clouds of bait in some other tributaries that I was small game hunting near. I have been out a few times now, a couple goose

hunts before Jan. 9 when that season closed and couple rabbit hunts. One thing I noticed while rabbit hunting was all of the coyote tracks where I used to see rabbits. I guess I should go coyote hunting given their apparent large population. Even with the large number

of animals around getting a good shot at one is not very easy. The only coyote hunters I know that do really well use dogs with radio collars. That is a bit more of a lifestyle than I am looking for. I have a couple of calls that sound like an animal being killed and a spot light. I’ve had a

coyote come to the call but when I turned on the light it ran so fast I couldn’t get a shot. Now I think I just need a little bit of luck to get my first coyote. If you like to shoot but chasing small game is not your thing, then consider joining a shooting club. There are several rod and gun clubs in our area many of them offer leagues for trap, skeet or archery. These leagues are a great way to improve your skills and learn gun safety as well. Some of the best shooters I know belong to the Northern Chautauqua Rifle and Pistol club located at the corner of Liberty and Porter streets in Fredonia. They welcome new members and they have an open house every Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon. For more information give them a call at 672-3488.

Fishing Hotline: Jan. 6 — Jan. 13 Contributed Article Department of Environmental Conservation

Lake Erie Tributaries Currently, all Lake Erie tributaries except Cattaraugus Creek are in good fishing shape. The creeks have good flow and color. Added runoff from snowmelt could bring creek levels up in southern Erie County and Chautauqua County this weekend. 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. Winter season steelhead angling on the Lake Erie tributaries can be a challenging and potentially hazardous outing, with the onset of ice and snow. Safety is of utmost importance. Some

helpful items that you should consider include neoprene waders, ice cleats for boot soles, a walking stick/pole and a fishing companion whenever possible. For those new to tributary steelhead fishing, see the Steelhead Fishing in Lake Erie Tributaries page for information on steelhead fishing tackle, equipment and links to steelhead stream maps. Anglers should note that there are special Great Lakes Tributary Regulations.

Lake Erie Harbors Dunkirk Harbor can be fished throughout the winter as a warm water discharge at the power plant keeps the harbor ice-free. Anglers have been catching brown trout from the DEC fishing platform near the warm water discharge. Anglers can also fish for trout from the city pier. Live minnows, spoon, spinners and egg sacs are good baits for harbor trout.

Chautauqua Lake Ice had been forming on the lake, however it is too thin to walk on. Warmer daytime temperatures will further deteriorate the ice. Upper Niagara River Stained water conditions on the upper river will keep the fishing on hold for a bit. Anglers previously were catching a few trout along Broderick Park on egg sacs and yellow perch from riverfront sites along the City of Buffalo. Emerald shiners work

well for perch. Ice Fishing There is no safe ice to report in western New York. 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.

Eli Manning Shreds Falcons, Powers Giants To Rematch With Packers Contributed Article

Associated Press

DENVER — "Pull the trigger," John Elway told his Denver Broncos star, Tim Tebow, trying to shake the quarterback from a three-game funk. Tebow went one better — he pulled off an upset.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — All the missing pieces — defense and a running game — are aligning at the right time for Eli Manning and the New York Giants. And just in time to play the Packers. After routing the Atlanta Falcons 24-2 Sunday in the NFC wild-card game, the Giants head to Green Bay next weekend, a place where they will need all the help they can muster. Manning carried the Giants (10-7) for much of the season, hoping the defense would get stingy, the pass rush would materialize and the running game would get on track. Now, all of that is happening. "A great mix of run and pass and these guys have a great understanding of what our offense is," Manning said of the help he's receiving. "If we can get that run game going like we did in the second half, that opens up a lot of windows." And if the defense remains impenetrable, watch out. "If we can play defense like that, we will continue to make ourselves heard in this tournament," coach Tom Coughlin said. Manning punctuated his best pro season by throwing for three touchdowns and scrambling for a 14-yard gain that woke up New York's offense in its first postseason victory since its Super Bowl upset of undefeated New England four years ago. Next up is as big a challenge: the defending champion Packers (15-1), who won here 38-35 in December. "We know they are a good team," Manning said. "We played them tough here, did some good things here, we scored some points. We know offensively we are going to have to play strong, score some points." The team that couldn't run the ball will be sprinting there, bringing along a defense the Packers actually might fear. Not to mention the passing offense led by Manning, who hooked up on a 72-yard catch and run by Hakeem Nicks in the third quarter that put away the inept Falcons (10-7). Manning also connected on a 4-yard TD with Nicks in the second period, and a 27-yard TD throw to Mario Manningham in the fourth quarter that finished it off. The Giants' last postseason trip to frigid Lambeau Field was a 23-20 overtime victory for the NFC championship two weeks before they upset

will be a book that bothers him. It's hard to say," Haney said. "I think anybody who reads it will think it's interesting, very fair and honest, and that's what I wanted to do. I was on that job for six years. There were 110 days a year I was with him. I stayed at his house for close to 30 days a year. You make a lot of observations." The book will be released by Crown Archetype, part of the Crown Publishing Group at Random House, Inc. It is scheduled to be published March 27 — one week before the Masters — and issued simultaneously in print and digital formats in the United States and Canada. He said the title was collaboration. "It has multiple meanings," Haney said. "The Big Miss' was golf jargon. The big miss of a drive, obviously that's been part of his game. The big miss

of an opportunity? That's really where we got the idea. It was a missed opportunity that Tiger and I had that we experienced working together. That all comes out in the book." Haney was the second of three coaches Woods has used as a professional, though he was part of the most interesting times. He caught more criticism than any coach, even though Woods won 29 times and six majors during their six years. "I think the period of time that I dealt with Tiger was much more unique, in terms of having the scandal, Torrey Pines with the broken leg at the U.S. Open, other things, too," Haney said. "It was a totally different time." During their six years together, Woods got married and had two children. His father died in May 2006, and Woods missed the cut in a major for the first time at the U.S. Open

the Patriots. "Cold, I remember that. I remember coach Coughlin's face. I remember (tackle) David Diehl sweating and it froze on his hair and he had icicles on his hair," defensive end Justin Tuck said. "And I remember us winning. "Hopefully, we can go back there and do it again." The tempo in the first playoff game at MetLife Stadium was set by New York's defense, which never allowed Atlanta to get going, and by the league's lowest-ranked rushing game, which ran for a season-high 172 yards, 92 by Brandon Jacobs and 63 by Ahmad Bradshaw. The Giants averaged 5.5 yards a carry, 2 yards more than in the regular season. For all of Jacobs' and Bradshaw's success, it was Manning's escape and 14-yard dash on third down in the second period that got the Giants rolling. Jacobs soon broke a 34-yard run, and Manning hit Nicks on a post pattern to put the Giants up 7-2. "I don't think anyone is game-planning for me to run the ball," Manning said, "but obviously there were a couple of situations where you have to do it. I am not scared of running to get a few yards." The Giants never really had to look back as the Falcons bumbled their way to their third straight playoff loss under coach Mike Smith and quarterback Matt Ryan. "They did a great job of defending us, especially in the second half," veteran tight end Tony Gonzalez said. "That shouldn't happen to a team like we have. We're a lot better than this." New York was aided greatly by Atlanta's penchant for gambling on fourth downs — and failing. Twice the Giants stymied the Falcons on fourth-and-1 as Ryan's sneaks went nowhere. The defense also stopped Michael Turner, supposedly the most effective runner on the

field, on a third-and-inches late in the third period. "That really inspired everybody, to be honest with you," Coughlin said. "Those plays that our defense made really inspired everybody. Atlanta missed on a fourthdown try in overtime that cost the Falcons a game against New Orleans during the season. While they negated New York's recently revitalized pass rush for much of the day, the Falcons couldn't gain any traction on the ground, being held to 64 yards rushing. "Our defense played great, kept us in the lead," Manning said. Other than some sporadic movement, Atlanta's offense was incompetent — particularly in short yardage. "It's less than a yard, less than half of a yard. It's a play we go through all the time," Smith said. "I felt it was the right play both times, but we didn't execute. We should be able to move the ball there." Both offenses sputtered in the first half with an assortment of penalties, drops and poor throws. When the Falcons wheeled out the no-huddle offense, though, they marched from their 10 to a fourth-and 1 at the New York 24. On the first play of the second quarter, Ryan was stacked up on his sneak. But it turned out positively for the Falcons anyway. Giants guard Chris Snee was called for holding, and, from his 13, Manning was pressured back into the end zone by James Sanders. He threw the ball away to avoid the sack, resulting in a safety. New York had its own fourthand-inches run on its first touchdown drive. Jacobs ran over safety Thomas DeCoud on the play from the Atlanta 6. Nicks caught his post pattern over Dominique Franks, the fill-in for injured cornerback Brent Grimes, to make it 7-2.

a month later. As for the serial adultery, Haney said he didn't know about it and doesn't delve into that chapter of Woods' life in the book, except for his return from the scandal after going nearly five months without competition. "It's something you can't NOT talk about it," Haney said. "My last tournament was the Masters, and that was his first tournament back from the scandal. I didn't know anything about the girls. That's not something I could specifically comment on. Everything I comment on is what I observed and the facts I knew. I didn't know anything about that. "But I did know about how he interacted with me about that, what my observations were and other areas in terms of how I dealt with and the aftermath." The most compelling win under Haney came at the 2008 U.S. Open, when Woods

learned he had a double stress fracture in left leg, along with shredded ligaments in his left knee. Despite not competing for two months, he won in a playoff over Rocco Mediate. Haney recalled doctors telling Woods before that U.S. Open that he needed to spend three weeks on crutches, followed by three weeks of rest. Haney says Woods told the doctors, "I'm playing the U.S. Open, and I'm going to win." Pressed for examples of his observations in the book, Haney declined, not even to mention his favorite moment or the low point in his coaching relationship with Woods. "It was an incredible opportunity," Haney said. "We had a great run and I enjoyed it, but a lot of things happened in six years that made it feel a little longer. I had a lot of great observations from being in the position I was in."

Former Woods Swing Coach Haney To Release Book

Contributed Article Associated Press

KAPALUA, Hawaii — Hank Haney has written a book about the six years he spent as Tiger Woods' swing coach, a volatile time in which Woods went from winning nearly half of his tournaments to a scandal that derailed his pursuit of golf history. Without giving away any details until "The Big Miss" goes on sale in the spring, Haney believes the book will be hard to put down. "I get asked all the time about Tiger, what it was like to work with him," Haney said in a telephone interview. "I felt like I had a front row seat to golf history. It just kind of chronicles a little bit of what I went through, what I dealt with, how I coached and the observations I made. "I think there's a lot of things

that people are going to find interesting." Haney began working with Woods at the Bay Hill Invitational in 2004. They parted ways a month after the 2010 Masters, where Woods made his return to golf after being exposed for multiple extramarital affairs that shattered his image and led to divorce. Most of the people involved with Woods have signed a nondisclosure agreement. Haney said he signed no such thing — "I didn't even have a contract," he said — although he said the book was not intended to "take jabs at anyone." Mark Steinberg, Woods' agent at Excel Sports Management, said he was aware of the book but that Woods had not seen any excerpts and would have no comment. Haney was asked whether he thought Woods will like it. "If he reads it, I don't think it

Jonas Gustavsson Stops 32 Shots As Maple Leafs Blank Sabres Contributed Article Associated Press

TORONTO — Nikolai Kulemin had a goal, an assist and one crushing hit that caught the attention of his coach. Kulemin capped his solid performance in Toronto’s 2-0 victory over the Buffalo Sabres with a solid open-ice check that brought the crowd to its feet Tuesday night. Not only did it send agitator Patrick Kaleta to the ice, but it showed that Kulemin — one of the few key Maple Leafs players having a down year — had come to play. “I’ve never seen him line a guy up like that,” said Ron Wilson, who has been Kulemin’s coach for each of his 275 career NHL games. “It’s not in his nature to pound people. He’s got this body that can do it and he just came up with that. It surprised our whole bench and it got everybody fired up, I can tell you that.” Jonas Gustavsson had 32 saves for Toronto (22-15-5), which won all four games on a homestand that started last Tuesday. Mikhail Grabovski had the other goal. Gustavsson recorded his second shutout in three starts to improve to 9-2 since early November. It also was his first victory in six career appearances against Buffalo. “We played a team that is usually hard to play against. I’m happy with that win,” Gustavsson said. The Maple Leafs moved eight points ahead of the struggling Sabres heading into Friday’s rematch at First Niagara

Center. It also gave them a three-point cushion over ninth-place Winnipeg. “We need to get one and it will make the boys in here feel good and hopefully we can string them on from there,” Sabres forward Drew Stafford said. “We’ve got a great opportunity in the rematch in a couple days.” Buffalo goaltender Ryan Miller has enjoyed a tremendous amount of his success

against the Leafs during his career, but has struggled against them the past two seasons. Fans at the Air Canada Centre derisively chanted “Miller! Miller!” as he fell to 1-5 against Toronto in his last six starts. Toronto got off to a fast start, taking advantage of a rough night for Stafford. Stafford was all alone in front of the Leafs net with an early chance but couldn’t lift

the puck over Gustavsson’s glove. A few minutes later, he inadvertently cleared the puck over the glass in his own end. On the resulting Leafs power play, Kulemin corralled the puck and slid it under Miller to open the scoring at 8:55. The struggling Russian also played a key role in Toronto’s second goal. He did a nice job to get the puck through to Grabovski prior to taking a check and his linemate went on to beat Miller with a well-

FSU BLUE DEVILS continued from pg 1 for elbowing with 29.7 seconds left in the period. Muhs missed the open left corner during the early portion of the power play before the first intermission. Elmira killed off the rest of the penalty at the start of the second period, then saw its third straight power-play chance go awry after Fredonia State's Brett Mueller left for interference. It upped Fredonia State's streak of successful kills to 28 straight. Shortly after the kill, MacLean took advantage of a turnover by Bryan Ross deep in the Fredonia defensive end. MacLean skated hard at the net, drew Friesen off his line, and flicked the puck into the open side at 14:42. It was MacLean's second goal of the season. Fredonia State's success at killing penalties came to an end at the start of the third period. Doust and Ryan Edens

took penalties on the same play, Doust for cross-checking and Edens for boarding, 43 seconds into the period. Willer converted the 5-on-3 opportunity with his 10th goal of the season, his sixth on a

power-play. Monfredo broke through for the Blue Devils at the 15:40 mark when he scored on a rebound of a shot by John O'Connor. Declan Gunovski earned an assist when he kept the puck in the offensive zone and found O'Connor near the left circile. The Blue Devils pressed the action but were unable to net the equalizer. They are back at home 7 p.m. Friday vs. Neumann.

placed backhand at 17:55. It was the first two-point night since Oct. 30 for Kulemin, who had a career-best 30 goals and 57 assists last year but has struggled so far this season. “Kulie’s one of those guys that kind leads by example, he doesn’t say a whole bunch,” Maple Leafs defenseman Cody Franson said. “He’s come out with the same work ethic every night.” That was more than enough

for Gustavsson, who was solid when called on, particularly in the third period, and recorded his third career NHL shutout. Before boarding a bus home, Sabres coach Lindy Ruff expressed frustration about a perceived bias he believes officials have against Kaleta. The forward hammered Grabovski into the end boards early in the third period and was called for charging. Ruff didn’t see any difference between that hit and one Toronto’s Nazem Kadri delivered early in the game. “He’s a marked man, definitely a marked man,” Ruff said of Kaleta. “When Kadri can do what he did on (Jordan) Leopold which is very similar and Kaleta does it and doesn’t leave his feet, I don’t think he hit him that hard. It used to be a good hit in the game and you get a penalty — I’m worried about him. “I’m worried that he can’t play his game.” That play came directly before Kulemin laid out Kaleta as retribution for his linemate. “You know, he told me he did that for me because (Kaleta) hit me before,” Grabovski said. “I’m very happy for that because a Russian (stuck up) for a Russian.” NOTES{ Toronto F Phil Kessel had his goal streak end at four games and his points streak at eight games. ... Sabres F Derek Roy and D Christian Ehrhoff remain sidelined with upper-body injuries. ... Jake Gardiner and Jay Rosehill were healthy scratches for Toronto. ... Announced attendance was 19,439.

True fiction

Escaped convicts resurface in ‘Alcatraz’ By Dee Wright TV Media

ilm and television writers are great at writing fictional people into historical events -- characters like Jack and Rose in 1997’s “Titanic” and Cullen Bohannon in AMC’s “Hell on Wheels” are inspired by stories that may or may not have really existed, but there is a lot of historical accuracy to general plots and timelines. Though the stories may not be based on hard fact, “Titanic” won 11 Oscars, and “Hell on Wheels” has already been re-

newed for a second season before the first has even ended. In a similar fashion, Fox’s new series, “Alcatraz,” features fictional characters with a historical concept. Premiering on Monday, Jan. 16, the new series stars Sarah Jones, Sam Neill and Jorge Garcia. Another big name behind the series is executive producer J.J. Abrams, who was also behind “Lost,” “Fringe” and the 2009 revival of “Star Trek.” The island of Alcatraz has become a tourist attraction for visitors to San Francisco since the prison closed in 1963, but not many know what re-

ally went on within the walls of the facility. Surrounded by more than a mile of cold salt water, the Rock, as it was often called, was deemed impossible to escape from because even if an inmate got out of the gates, he would never survive the swim to land. The facility housed thousands of criminals over the course of almost 30 years, and there are conflicting reports about whether or not anyone successfully escaped. Several movies have been made about escape attempts, and though many of them are based on real people, evidence supporting their stories is limited. The most famous of these is likely “Escape From Alcatraz” (1979), which profiles four inmates who managed to dig through their cell walls and get out of the facility. Three of the four men made it to the water’s edge, but none of them were later found, either dead or alive, and there is little proof that they survived the water that foiled many other escape attempts. In Fox’s new series, the drama revolves around a police detective who is searching for an inmate who had been presumed dead during his incarceration at Alcatraz more than 30 years ago. Based in present day, the police scramble to figure out who else escaped 30 years ago and where they are now.

Featurestory Sink or swim: 'Shark Tank' bites at new ideas in Season 3

t’s the American dream: build a life for your family based on your own hard work. ABC’s “Shark Tank” is helping the best and brightest reach their goal, as the investment-based series returns for Season 3 on Friday, Jan. 20. It’s a twist on the currently popular style of reality TV, which features professionals trying to make a name for themselves in any given industry. ABC’s series, however, allows everyday Americans to have an opportunity to pitch their best idea to a panel of Sharks, who may or may not bite, and invest their own hard-earned dollars to see the business idea flourish. Over its two seasons, “Shark Tank” has made television history offering more than $10 million in deals. The panel is made up of individuals who have gone all the way themselves, building a name by following their own entrepreneurial spirit, and amassing millions along the way. This season’s Sharks are Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, investment guru and financial commentator Kevin O’Leary, technology and telecommunications mogul Robert Herjavec, fashion icon Daymond John, and real-estate superstar Barbara Corcoran. Cuban had dipped into a wide range of business models, from theaters to Internet startup businesses. His story is much like that of self-made men and women across the country, coming from an immigrant family that started with nothing, and working his way up to a net worth in the billions. According to Biography.com, as a

Sudoku Daymond John in “Shark Tank” youngster, Cuban sold garbage bags to save up enough money to buy a pair of shoes and sold stamps and coins through high school to earn extra cash. His first major business venture was MicroSolutions, known for excellence in computers and networking. The company was sold in 1990 for $6 million. In 2000, he bought the NBA’s Mavericks, putting him in the spotlight for his management of the team and the resulting successes. O’Leary had claimed his lifechanging moment came while he was working at an ice cream shop in Ottawa, Ont. When his boss asked him to take on the dirty job of scraping gum off the floor, that was enough to change his mind about working forever. After he walked away from that job, O’Leary said he’d never be someone else’s employee again. Today, his investment company, O’Leary Funds, manages more than $800 million in assets. He’s known as the feisty, straight-talking Dragon on the similarly-modeled Canadian series, “Dragon’s Den” and has found himself in hot water recently

over remarks made during his cohosted financial news program in Canada, “The Lang and O’Leary Exchange.” Herjavec is another Canadian success story and joins O’Leary on “Dragon’s Den.” His millions — about $100 million, in fact — were made creating and selling companies including one to AT&T Canada and another to Nokia. He, too, has lived the immigrant success story, arriving with his parents in Halifax, N.S., after escaping communism is Yugoslavia. As the story goes, the family had $20 and no understanding of the English language, but Herjavec had big dreams. He made his way into the news headlines when he bought his Toronto home for a reported $10 million, paid in cash. His nice-guy demeanor is not to be taken for granted, though, and when he sees an idea he knows simply won’t make it, he’s not shy to say so. ” Most people never get a chance to meet a bunch of people who’ve done it before and get some real unbiased advice,” he tells ABC.

StarsonScreen By Sheila Busteed TV Media WHITE NIGHT: As if turning 90 years old weren’t special enough, legendary TV star Betty White will celebrate her birthday by proving to NBC viewers that she has more energy and spunk than most people half her age. The network’s Monday-night schedule this week is being dedicated to -- and dominated by -- the actress as it airs the 90-minute special “Betty White’s 90th Birthday: A Tribute to America’s Golden Girl,” which will be immediately followed by a sneak peak at her new hidden-camera series “Betty White’s Off Their Rockers.” The birthday special, taped live in Los Angeles at the Biltmore Hotel, will feature many of White’s costars from

throughout her career, which has spanned six decades, as well as musical performances, surprise guests and, of course, plenty of comedy. White’s actual birthday is Tuesday, Jan. 17. Some of the scheduled guests will include Mary Tyler Moore, Carol Burnett, Hugh Jackman, William Shatner, Jay Leno, Amy Poehler and Joel McHale. Sadly, White is the only surviving member of the foursome who starred in “The Golden Girls.” After the birthday celebration, NBC will premiere the “Off Their Rockers” preview. The series is sort of a senior citizens’ take on Ashton Kutcher’s show “Punk’d.” As the show’s on-air host and its main star, White leads a group of seniors as they get younger

bystanders on the streets to fall for their startling and side-splitting pranks. “People have been telling me that I’m ‘off my rockers’ for years,” said White. “Now I can prove it!” White has won multiple Emmys throughout her career, the most recent of which was earned by her turn as host on “Saturday Night Live” last year. She also currently stars as Polish caretaker Elka Ostrovsky in TV Land’s “Hot in Cleveland.”

‘FIVE-0’ FLASHBACK: When CBS debuted the reboot of “Hawaii Five-0” in 2010, critics were probably wondering how long it would take the network to link it to its predecessor from more than 40 years ago. Well, the wait will soon be over. CBS recently announced that Emmy-winning actor Ed Asner will return to Oahu to reprise his role as August March, a character he played in the original version back in 1975. This will Betty White mark the first time the aims to shock two shows have been viewers in her linked by a storyline, new series, and the upcoming “Betty White’s spring episode Off Their will actually Rockers” make use of footage from Asner’s original

appearance in the episode “Wooden Model of a Rat.” In that episode, Asner’s character was starting to make a name for himself as a smuggler, but his cover was blown when he tried to frame Det. Steve McGarrett. For the upcoming episode, the Five-0 team catches up with March after he has spent 30 years in prison for murder. They hope to get his help with a new smuggling case. CBS has not offered any explanation for March’s encounter with two different cops named Steve McGarrett. “It is thrilling to, for the first time, merge the original ‘Hawaii Five-0’ and our new show by hav-

ing the classic, versatile and award-winning Ed Asner reprise his role of August March, a character Mr. Asner first played 36 years ago,” said executive producer Peter Lenkov. “There is no better way to form a bridge between our reboot and the original series.” Despite being 82 years old, Asner hasn’t bothered to slow down his acting career. In recent years, he has appeared on “Royal Pains,” “The Sarah Silverman Program” and “CSI: NY.” He’s also known for his role as Lou Grant on “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” and for voicing Carl Fredricksen in Pixar’s Oscarwinning feature, “Up” (2009).

Carolina moving up with new coach and starting quarterback By Joel Duplessis TV Media

t the dawn of the 2011 NFL season, fans in Carolina were eagerly awaiting the arrival of their franchise savior, Cam Newton, who would be handed the reigns as starting quarterback. Newton didn’t disappoint -- finishing at the top of an exceptional class of first-year players and setting league records for rushing touchdowns by a quarterback (14) and the rookie record for passing yards (4,051). With an untutored quarterback taking the helm and a newly-appointed head coach in Ron Rivera, not much was expected from the Panthers this year. Although the team won only six games in 2011 – four more then they managed to win in 2010 – it was the extraordinary play of Cam Newton that made this year feel like a huge step forward for the franchise. Last year, the Panthers were dead last in the 32-team NFL. It appeared that Carolina was in store for a long rebuilding process initiated by the selection of Newton with the first-overall pick in the 2011 draft. Over one season Newton has revitalized the Panthers franchise and emerged as one of the most electrifying playmakers in the NFL. In doing so he has also helped rejuvenate the career of Steve Smith, who had been steadily declining in production. Newton and Smith became one of the most feared offensive forces in the NFC. The air attack -- combined with a solid ground game that featured DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart -- took the Panthers from the league’s worst offense in 2010 to the fifth-highest scoring in 2011. As the focus in Carolina shifts to next season, an improvement on the defensive side of the ball will be a priority. Any improvement to the Panthers defense will make Carolina a scary opponent in 2012. 1:30 a.m.
