Safety Has a Birthday

Chatauqua Children’s Safety Village Celebrates its first year By Scott Wise Star News Editor

For the past year, Ashville has been home to a program that has already impacted thousands of lives in Chautauqua County. The Chautauqua Children’s Safety Education Village, or CCSEV, has welcomed well over 4,000 children onto its grounds since Oct. 13, 2010, and promises the hands-on safety training it provides will continue well into the future. “We had a great first year,” said Terri Kindberg, Executive Director or the CCSEV. “We had all but two elementary schools from around the county come out; whether it was only one grade or multiple grades. The programs were well received and the teachers and parents thought it was great.” The impact that the CCSEV is having on children around the county is readily noticeable by the responses sent back to Kindberg and the mostly volunteer staff. “We’re getting tons of thank you cards form kids,” said Kindberg. “They’re drawing pictures and saying what they learned. It’s exciting to know they’ve gone home and actually learned something.” The safety village currently offers hands-on training for three main courses at its facilties, located at 2695 Route 394 in Ashville. Children from kindergarden to fourth grade take field trips to learn Fire Safety, Bike Safety and Traffic Safety. In addition, Kindberg and her team

are starting two new courses this year. One, called ‘Through The Horse’s Eyes,” is focused on teaching children how their behavior impacts those around them, specifically when it comes to bullying. “Dawn Samuelson, from Grandview Farms, has some miniature horses that she brings and teaches with them,” said Kindberg. “The horses are in a round pen in the class and she brings a few students into the pen as well. The horses reﬂect what

they see. If the student is a more aggressive type, the horse will act passive. If the student is passive, the horse will crowd in. Through the behavior of the horse, she’s able to teach the children how we behave around others.” There will also be teacher in-service training, and they are putting together a personal safety class for kids at the first or second grade level, focused on personal boundaries and dealing with sexual abuse.

The CCSEV also offers a variety of community outreaches throughout the year; from Easter Egg Hunts in the spring, to safe trick or treating and even a craft show in November. “Last year we bought candy and snacks for four or five hundred people at Halloween,” said Kindberg. “We ended up having over 3,000 people come through! We’ve prepared for more this year.”

Commentary: Hunting and Wildlife Conservation?

Pat Pihl Commentary Fall is in fast forward and the excitement among area hunting enthusiasts has piqued with the beginning of archery season and soon to follow shotgun and riﬂe. As experienced hunters know

courses and animal habitat research. Benefits to Non-Hunters Although P-R is financed wholly by firearms users and archery enthusiasts, its benefits cover a much larger number of people who never hunt but enjoy such wildlife pastimes as birdwatching, nature photography, painting and sketching, and a wide variety of other outdoor pursuits. Benefits to the Economy As the preservation and beauty of the the natural world increased, the P-R legislation has also brought benefits to the economy, with national surveys showing that hunters now spend some $10 billion every year on equipment and trips. Non-hunting nature

Since then, according to the US Fish and Wildlife Service, numerous species have rebuilt their populations and extended their ranges far beyond what they were in the 1930’s. Among them are the wild turkey, white-tailed deer, pronghorn antelope, wood duck, beaver, black bear, giant Canada goose, American elk, desert bighorn sheep, bobcat, mountain lion, and several species of predatory birds. States have also used funds from hunting licensing fees to match the efforts of the P-R, with benefits to the economy, hunters, and non-hunters alike. A large percentage of state monies are used to develop, maintain, and operate wildlife management areas. Support is also given to sportsmanship, hunter safety

ﬂourished, but were in danger of disappearing altogether. Only a few decades ago, wildlife’s survival was very much in doubt. While early settlers encountered a spectacular abundance of wildlife, their zeal to conquer an untamed continent resulted in entire species being wiped out. Other species were reduced to only a fraction of their original numbers. On September 2, 1937 President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Pittman-Robertson into law. It was at the urging of organized sportsmen who wanted Congress to extend the life of an existing 10 percent tax on ammunition and firearms used for sport hunting.The proceeds would be earmarked to the states for wildlife restoration.

first hand (and as observed by others) hunting produces a sort of camaraderie among its participants rarely matched in other sports. Its benefits, however, support more than a ‘brotherhood’ and development of a skill set. While seemingly incompatible, hunting has also brought back untold numbers of wildlife and has allowed states to buy, develop, maintain, and operate wildlife management areas for the benefit of both hunters and wildlife enthusiasts alike - hardly the contradiction in terms the title suggests. A little-known piece of legislation,The Pittman-Robertson Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act has restored the numbers and varieties of wild creatures that previously

lovers spend even larger sums to enjoy wildlife, on travel and on items that range from bird food to binoculars, from special footwear to camera equipment. In short, thousands of jobs have been created. It is interesting that Wal-Mart has recently decided to bringing back riﬂes, shotguns and ammunition to hundreds of U.S. stores after CEO Michael Duke acknowledged that “the appeal was perhaps broader than we thought.” In fairness, hunting also has its share of detractors, as well as supporters. With that discussion, this question needs to be asked: What happens to wildlife management if the sport and the money it raises goes away?

Chautauqua County has reached yet another milestone with the County Prescription Drug Discount Card Program. At the end of August, residents within the county surpassed the $1.5 million savings mark. Since the start of this program in December of 2009, residents have filled more than 53,000 prescriptions with an average savings of 46%, or $29.05 per a script filled. Chautauqua County partnered with ProAct, Inc. to provide this cost-free program to ease the financial burden that many uninsured and underinsured residents experience when purchasing their prescriptions. The County Prescription Drug Discount Card Program also offers residents savings on vision,

hearing, and LASIK services. The ProAct Prescription Drug Discount Card Program has been exclusively endorsed by 46 counties across New York State. These counties have jointly filled over 2.2 million prescriptions which equates to over $62 million in savings. “We are all well aware that prescription drug prices are steadily on the rise,” said Chautauqua County Executive Gregory J. Edwards. “This program has allowed for residents, both uninsured and underinsured, to experience financial relief at the pharmacy counter without the county or residents incurring any costs. The success of this program is just another example of how the decisions we have made continue to help the people of Chautauqua County.” The Prescription Drug Discount Card Program provides residents with easy access

to money saving discounts. There are no prerequisites to take advantage of this program, simply present the discount card at any participating pharmacy and begin saving. Prescription Drug Discount Cards are available at many local pharmacies and at various Chautauqua County departments, including the County Executive’s Office, County Clerk’s Office, Health Department, and Department of Social Services. Residents with computer access can also print their own card by visiting www.NYRxDiscountCard. com. ProAct, Inc. is a Pharmacy Benefit Management Company based in Central New York and a division of Kinney Drugs. For more information please contact the County Executive’s Office at (716) 753-4211.

Safety Has a Birthday, Continued from page 1 The Halloween Fun Fair, to be held this year. Oct 26 from 4 to 8:30 p.m. The houses at the safety village will be decorated, and adults in costumes will be at each house to hand out candy to children as they trick-or-treat through the village. “It’s nice because they won’t have to worry about traffic, or making sure the candy is safe to eat,” said Kindberg. Then on Nov. 5 and 6., the CCSEV will transform for the holidays as they host the ‘Winter Wonderland Craft Show.’ Each house will be decorated and there will be craft vendors around the village. The event takes place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Nov. 5, and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Nov. 6. The CCSEV is a not-for-profit organization, which means all that they do runs from grants, donations and fundraising. Recently, Cummins Engines donated enough for one

grade from each school in the county to come down to the village. Anyone can take part in helping to fund the organization, too. “Due to recent budget cuts, some schools have had to give up their field trips to the Safety Village,” said Kindberg. “We are looking for businesses or individuals who may be willing to “adopt a school” or a grade level to assist with transportation costs to get them to the Village. This amount ranges from as low as $60 on up to $500 for the schools who are farther away with larger classes. If anyone would be interested in adopting a class, they may contact me and I would be glad to link them with a school. I know the schools would be so appreciative and you would be giving children a wonderful learning experience that may save a child’s life. “ But being in a class isn’t the only way to partake of the

educational services offered at the village. “Children can come with or without a school,” said Kindberg. “We often have girl scouts and boy scouts coming out, youth groups and even family reunions. We’ve started doing themed birthday parties too. We just ask that folks schedule their tours so we can have our instructors here.” The next year for the CCSEV promises to be one of education and growth, and Kindberg hopes that students from around the county and beyond are able to take part in the hands-on education offered. For more information, to donate to the village or to book a tour, visit www.ccsev. org or call Kindberg at 716499-8138.

Members of the community may notice a new addition on the outdoor quad of the SUNY Fredonia campus. “Mudtub,” a steel, brick and mortar piece on loan for a three-year period, has been brought to campus as part of SUNY Fredonia’s successful In Sight/On Site program. Sculpture artist Paul Howe installed “Mudtub” on the lawn outside of the central entrance to Mason Hall (near the Juliet J. Rosch Recital Hall) on Monday, Oct. 10. A 2009 graduate of SUNY Plattsburgh, Mr. Howe is currently enrolled in the graduate program at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. He serves as a graduate assistant there and guest speaker/visiting artist at Longwood University in Farmville, Va. Howe has participated in group exhibitions in Chapel

A Cornell study shows that “top planting” is a much easier method of planting tulip bulbs and just as effective as digging the traditional six- to eight-inch holes for each bulb.

director of Cornell’s Flower Bulb Research Program. Top planting is an old, yet underused method. Miller’s three-year study of the process demonstrated that it definitely works. In 2008, he used this method to plant “Ad Rem” and “Negrita” tulip cultivars, which are known as good perennializers, in plots testing four different depths of mulch. Bulbs that were covered with two to four inches of mulch yielded the most flowers in 2009, 2010 and 2011. Bulbs covered in six inches of mulch produced fewer flowers, while bulbs that were not covered in any mulch produced no flowers (save for one Negrita tulip in the first year). In the study, a slow-release fertilizer was used, which Miller recommends.

Miller suggested that too little mulching may make bulbs susceptible to “animals making off with them,” while overmulching reduces the number of blooms each bulb can produce. While Miller only tested tulips, he said that he suspects that the method would work with any bulb. As for when to plant the tulips: Optimum planting in Central New York is from midto late September through mid November. Bulbs root readily as long as soil temperatures are in the range of 40-50 degrees Fahrenheit.

Prendergast Library to Feature Local Photographers Contributed Article Prendergast Library

The James Prendergast Library Art Gallery will present digital photographs by Angus Watkins of Ashville and Bob Gibbon of Lakewood in a show called “Some Things Old and New,” which runs Oct. 21 through Nov. 25. They will greet people and answer questions about their work during an opening reception from 5 to 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 21, in the gallery. The event is free and open to the public, and refreshments will be served. Watkins has explored the possibilities and uses of the fine arts for most of his life and work, inspired by theologian Paul Tillich who said “pictures, poems, art and music can unveil the truth and power of [the Extraordinary].” In recent years, he has exhibited visual material through multimedia presentations, galleries, park centers, churches and fundraising events. According to Watkins, “What’s always mattered has been trying to discover, even catch, the extraordinary in the context of outings to near and far places.” He said it is funny but maddening if a spectacular shot presents itself when he does not have his camera equipment with him or the subject disappears while he is getting a lens. “Occasional good luck and fortuitous accident, together with ongoing learning, continue to make this art form fascinating and beguiling,” he said. Watkins said he has been “an outdoors ‘nut’ ” since boyhood years in the Dakotas and Montana on Indian reservations and has had a penchant for gathering material while

hiking and birding in wild places ever since. He has discovered subjects for pictures on trips to places such as Florida, the Southwest and Newfoundland, in addition to finding fascinating landscapes and waterscapes in Chautauqua County. “After a lifetime of trying to shoot memorable moments with mixed results using old cameras on family vacations, dropping equipment off cliffs on climbing trips or overboard on canoe trips, I decided it was time to either give up on photography altogether or get some camera bodies and lenses that cost enough that I’d be more careful. I did the latter,” Watkins said. His writing and poems have appeared in multiple publications. Winning a Just Buffalo Writer-in-Residence competition sponsored by New York State Council on the Arts led to a stint of public readings in Western New York and classroom appearances in Jamestown schools. He has also taken part in county arts council contests and is completing a second volume of poems. Watkins has served as a poet in residence and trip photojournalist for First Presbyterian Church of Jamestown and as a board member for the Arts Council of Chautauqua County and the Infinity Center for Performing Arts. He’s a member of the Jamestown Audubon Photography Club and an avid reader and fisherman. He and his wife, Anne, live in Ashville. Co-exhibitor Gibbon said, “I love taking pictures, then ‘discovering’ the results on my memory cards and doing ‘darkroom’ work on the one in 500 that merits further consideration.” He said he always has a

Mayville Tuesday Club

Audubon Center and Sanctuary

Three members of the Mayville Tuesday Club will discuss their trip to Alaska when all meet at 1:30 p.m. Nov. 1 in the Mayville Library. A slide presentation of two weeks of cruising the spectacular Inside Passage, touring the Alaskan mainland and admiring the scenery of the many glaciers in Glacier National Park will be presented. Club members who took the trip will be the speakers – Dianne Goodrich, president; Jean Kelsey, secretary; and Barb Rotte, Nominating Committee chair. The library is conducting a drive to collect items for the Mayville Food Pantry. Tuesday Club members are asked to bring non-perishable food

Last summer’s Art in the Wild was so popular that the Audubon Center and Sanctuary is presenting the workshop again this month. The Saturday, Oct. 22 course will introduce the work of Andy Goldsworthy, an artist who creates installations in nature using only materials found at the installation site. The 8 am-4 pm experience will begin with a viewing of Rivers and Tides, a documentary about Goldsworthy. Over coffee and muffins, participants will watch the video to get a sense of the artist’s approach to creating a relationship with the place. A walk on the grounds to find places for each participant’s installation will follow. The installations created will be on display until nature takes its course. British artist Debra Eck is the course instructor. A resident of Western New York, she teaches at Jamestown Community College and Infinity Visual and Performing Arts and serves as a mentor to participants in the Cattaraugus County Arts Council SAVI (Seneca Arts Virtual Incubator) program. Ms. Eck exhibits throughout the

items or personal hygiene items for the pantry. Members also are reminded to bring information regarding the number of hours they have volunteered at the library or worked at the book sales. Additionally, bring the approximate value of books they have

donated to the book sales or purchased for gifts. Mrs. Rotte said she needs this information for the Federation. The public is invited to attend Tuesday Club meetings at any time, particularly Nov. 1. For more information, call Mrs. Goodrich at 753-7472.

“Community Indoor Emporium” Fundraiser Contributed Article Rev. Amy Rohler

On Saturday, Nov. 5 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Community Helping Hands will hold its very first annual “Community Indoor Emporium.” Conveniently held indoors at the Gateway Center, this event will host a variety of local vendors, crafters, artists, garage sales and local organizations selling their products, crafts, services and used goods. In addition to the prizes, music and food, Community Helping Hands will also open its thrift store and furniture showroom all day, and the second ﬂoor Laser Tag facility and Skate/BMX Park will be open at noon. The whole building will be used for this event. The purpose of this fund-

raiser is to replace several of the second ﬂoor windows of the Gateway Center that were never finished in the original restoration of the building several years ago. These twelve replacement windows are essential for safety, energy efficiency and aesthetic appeal.

CHH is a Christian organization not only committed to helping low-income families and at-risk youth, but also the redevelopment of the city of Jamestown. The windows are key for several of their programs, including the Café, a prayer room, a children’s room and the sewing room, where volunteers teach young expectant mothers how to sew and quilt. Crafters, artists and garage salers who are interested in purchasing a table are encouraged to call the office at Community Helping Hands at (716) 487-1488 as soon as possible to reserve a space. Tables and chairs are provided, and only $25 each. All are encouraged to attend and enjoy the festivities. More information may be found at www.thegatewaycenter.org or www.chhny.org.

Brocton Library Creates Tobacco Free Outdoor Areas

Contributed Article Ahira Hall Memorial Library

The Ahira Hall Memorial Library, located in Brocton, pleased to announce the creation of tobacco free outdoor areas on their library property. The library is collaborating with the Tri County Tobacco Free Programs to reduce secondhand smoke, reduce litter, and model healthy behaviors for children. Ahira Hall Memorial Library’s Manager, Julie Morrison Putcher states, “The children and community members visiting our library deserve tobacco free entrances and tobacco free outdoor areas. Cigarette smoke rolls into open windows and vents at our buildings compromising the good health of those in and around our sites. We encourage adults to model good behavior, including tobacco free habits. The tobacco free outdoor areas will help our sidewalks and entrances stay clean from cigarette butts and protect our environment.” New signs are posted at the library located at 37 W.

If you can smell it, secondhand smoke is harming you. Cigarette butts are a danger to our children and to the environment. We applaud Ahira Hall Memorial Library, its board members and Mayor Abram for caring about the youth and adults visiting their facility and we ask all adults to please observe the policy.” Public support for outdoor

tobacco use restrictions is growing. Ahira Hall Memorial Library joins the list of over 300 locations across NY State who have established tobacco free outdoor areas, including Times Square and Central Park in NY City.

Not only does Feather Your Nest offer decorations for inside the home that can be sold right out of the store, Sorci Taft can provide customers with wallpaper options, custom window treatments, and fabrics.

ent, and of course the creative aspect,” said Sorci Taft. Sorci Taft is happy just to give customers her artistic point of view. She enjoys being able to offer services that really help people and eliminate a lot of decorating frustrations.

“I offer ideas that maybe they wouldn’t come up with and find things that they would really love in their home,” said Sorci Taft. Sorci Taft used to run another interior business in town, Bellissimo Interiors, but had to

close when she decided to move. When she returned to Fredonia, Sorci Taft chose to reopen the business. She wanted a different name and a more modern image. “I wanted a name that would reﬂect more of what I do. I

decided to start fresh and have a little more relatable name,” said Sorci Taft. Sorci Taft just wants to let her customers know that not everything she can do is expensive. She’s willing to simply get her ideas and designs out there. “I just like to solve decorating dilemmas,” said Sorci Taft. In the future, Sorci Taft just wants Feather Your Nest to be well known. “Hopefully it will be a very well recognized name in this area and the only place to go,” said Sorci Taft.

There is not really another place in this area where people can go for interior decorating issues. Feather Your Nest is an opportunity for people to have uniquely decorated houses or office buildings, which always makes a space more comfortable. If you would like to know more about Feather Your Nest, contact Melissa Sorci Taft at (716) 401-3056 or visit the store at 85 Cushing Street in Fredonia, NY.

Local Food Company Introduces Gluten-Free Line Contributed Article Burning Asphalt Sauces

Burning Asphalt Sauces, a locally based specialty food producer, has announced the recent launch of a 25 product Gluten-Free line. The new line is under their Twisted Vine Gardens’ brand, one of five brands the company owns. All gluten-free gourmet products in the line clearly states “Gluten-Free” on the front of the packaging. Products include BBQ & Grilling Sauces, Pasta Sauces, Marinades, Soup, Ketchup, and Italian Bread Dipping Seasoning. The company plans on expanding the line with an additional 10 products by the end of the year. Jeffrey Furash, President and CEO of Burning Asphalt Sauces, recently announced Ms. Robin Griffin as official spokesperson for their new Twisted Vine Gardens’ glutenfree gourmet line. Gluten is

a common protein found in all food products that contain

wheat, barley, or rye. It can also be found in some products

containing oats. At a recent press conference introducing

the new line, Ms. Griffin stated “Almost 21 million Americans have some sensitivity to gluten. Approximately 12% of these people have full blown Celiac disease. This disease causes a variety of gastrointestinal symptoms. With this many people affected, we found the need to produce quality glutenfree products and make them readily available to our current customers as well as our future customers.” Burning Asphalt Sauces’ new gluten-free Twisted Vine Gardens’ line can be found in many grocery stores, specialty shops, and wineries throughout the region and nationally. The company continues to donate a percentage of profits of all items sold to their notfor-profit “Sauces For Soldiers” program. Since the company was founded, they have been providing U.S. overseas troops with a little taste of home. There is never a charge.

The company also owns and operates Soulshine Coffee Company which offers over 150 varieties of coffee in many sizes from single cup to 50 lb. bags, ground or whole bean. They also follow industry Fair Trade criteria. This guarantees a minimum ﬂoor price for coffee farmers who use sustainable farming techniques and offer price premiums for organic production. The company has also started a not-for-profit program with that business as well. The program is “Coffee For A Cause.” A percentage of the profits from all coffee sales will go to this program and benefit a variety of worthy causes throughout the year.

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

County Legislature remains a 25-member body. Over the same period of time dramatic changes have occurred in our ability to easily communicate with one another. Forty years ago our elected officials were not in touch with their constituents via email and Facebook, as many are now. Not too many years ago the County Legislature held regular meetings twice a month. Now they meet monthly, conducting all business in about half the time it once took. At least three separate, bi-par-

tisan commissions convened in the past fifteen years have recommended reducing the size of the County Legislature. Despite all of these sound arguments for legislative reduction, the Legislature itself has failed to act of its own accord. Many of those whom we have elected to positions of leadership have not demonstrated their willingness to tackle this issue, with some notable exceptions. We congratulate the lawmakers, both Democrats and Republicans, who have tried, unsuccessfully, to get the reduction approved.

By making a series of difficult decisions in the past decade, a countywide Chamber was formed encompassing all of the smaller community Chambers of Commerce. In the past three years the Manufacturers Association of the Southern Tier consolidated services into the County Chamber of Commerce as well. As an organization, we have demonstrated leadership in order to increase efficiencies, save money, and improve the business climate in Chautauqua County. There will be minimal financial savings for the county by

downsizing the legislature. But as the business community continues to cry out for tax relief and the reduction of layers of taxing entities, we are seeking leadership. The County Legislature must be reduced in order to set a precedent for additional governmental agencies. The next move is up to you, the voter. We can no longer afford business as usual, and we strongly encourage a “yes” vote on this proposition.

Lunch Scheduled with Congressman Brian Higgins The annual Chamber Federal Congressional Lunch with Representative Brian Higgins will be held Thursday, November 10 at Shorewood Country Club, Dunkirk. This event provides an opportunity for local people to hear from the Congressman and ask questions.

He is a member of the House Committees on Homeland Security and Foreign Affairs. He also sits on the Subcommittees on Border and Maritime Security

and Counterterrorism and Intelligence. He previously served on the Ways & Means Committee, the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, and the Government & Oversight Committee. Representative Higgins was formerly a New York State Assemblyman and member of the Buffalo Common Council. He was an instructor in the History and Economics Departments at Buffalo State College. He has a degree in Political Science from Buffalo State College and an advanced degree in Public Policy and Administration from Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy

School of Government. Sponsors for the luncheon are: Advanced Manufacturing Technology, Chautauqua Institution, Chautauqua Integrated Delivery System, Jamestown Mattress, Lake Erie Regional Health System, Media One, NRG Dunkirk Power, OBSERVER, The Post-Journal, Serta Mattress, and SellingHive.

Well to continue on the subject of that awful four-letter word …SNOW. The question is I am thinking about buying a truck with a snow-plow, what do you think? The answer really depends on several variables. For most people, I would think it a very unwise decision for a bunch of reasons such as. The initial expense of the plow package (from $2000 for a used plow to upwards of $10,000 for new professional grade plow) Additional wear and tear on vehicle (not to mention excessive corrosion to undercarriage/body components of truck) Cost/ benefit of plowing own driveway vs. having a professional contractor plow your driveway The accelerated devaluation of vehicle due to having plow installed on truck Banks and finance companies adjust value of vehicle with a snow plow package considerably less than actual cost (for example a new plow may sell for $5000 and N.A.D.A. retail will only adjust $2200…that’s a $2800 loss right off the bat… not a good investment most would say) Many vehicle warranties are voided if a snow plow package is installed on a vehicle Increased fuel consumption Poor handling of vehicle There seems too many reasons not to buy a truck with a plow or to have a plow installed on the vehicle you currently own. For some people, even when they consider all those variables it still makes sense. Why would that be? Their locale requires a plow because it would be too expensive or too difficult to hire a plowing contractor The truck owner is a plowing professional who can profit from the addition of a plow to their truck The vehicle owner has considered all the variables and the costs and has decided for convenience that he wants a plow In my experience, there are many people who think it might be fun to plow, or look how much money I could make plowing. In reality, for most folks it is a losing proposition. The truck breaks, the plow breaks and it usually happens in the middle of a snowstorm. And, if you are lucky, you are everybody’s new best friend. You get to plow their driveway at 6 am with $4.00/gallon fuel prices and they give you an awful apple pie for compensation. In my opinion, I would recommend leaving plowing to the professionals. Please direct any questions that you would like addressed in this column to my email (rwhite@ jimwhites.com).

Tax Matters

By Kelly Haggmark Richard White, General Manager of Jim White’s Truck and Auto Center, shares his automotive expertise from a lifetime spent in the auto industry. What I know sitting on the opposite side of the desk, you auto know…

When you own your own business, people make some assumptions about the money you make that are not always accurate. The other day a small business owner said when he told a prospective client that his hourly rate was $60 an hour, the person said, “Wow, I’d like to make $60 an hour.” To that the business owner replied, “So would I.” People that have never been in business for themselves don’t usually understand how much it costs to be in business. Take, for example, the self-employed service provider charging $60

per hour for their time. The first thing to take into consideration is the concept of billable hours. The standard 40 hour work week equates to 2080 hours over a 52-week year. In reality, you should plan on billing 50% of that or 1040 hours. At $60 an hour you are down to $30 an hour for full-time work. Why? Business owners find that there are so many things they need to do to run the business that are not billable hours. Activities such as marketing and advertising, networking, recording transactions, banking, purchasing, meeting with prospective clients, etc. So, how much of my total billable hours do I end up with as profit? A good average to apply is 50%. This certainly depends on your type of business and the necessary expenses, but 50% is a good estimate when you are in the planning stages. This would include all the business expenses such as office supplies, postage, office space, insurance, vehicle expenses, utilities, etc.

Next, there are self employment taxes on your business profit. As a sole proprietor you will currently be responsible to pay about 13%. Add to that federal and state income tax anywhere from 10% to 35% for federal tax and from 4% to 8.97% for New York State. Let’s assume you work by yourself providing a service that you bill for by the hour. You work 60 hours a week and will be able to bill 50% of the hours your work. That’s 30 hours a week at $60 an hour for 50 weeks a year, totaling $90,000. Your profit is estimated at 50% or $45,000. Self employment tax is $5,850. As a single filer with this level of income, you would pay about $7,000 in federal and state income taxes provided you don’t itemize deductions. After all the business expenses and taxes are paid, your billable rate of $60 equates to net earnings per hour of about $11. And don’t forget, you are working 60 hours a week. So how do you make more money? As

a service provider that wants to stay by yourself, you could charge more per hour. You can also develop some offerings at set rates rather than hourly rates that through efficiency bring more than your hourly rate. If you are open to expanding, you could hire employees so that more hours can be billed. As you spend time running the business, others can be doing to work at the billable rate. There are other things you can do such as reducing expenses, taking advantage of tax deductions and credits and hiring employees or outsourcing work to allow you to bill more than 50% of the hours you spend in your business. For example, let’s say you decide to outsource your bookkeeping. Chances are it takes you longer to do the bookkeeping than it will take a professional. You will be ahead even if the accountant’s billable rate is the same as yours and here’s why. Say it takes you 10 hours a week to do the bookkeeping, but it will take 7 hours a week

for the accountant. You will be free to spend your time on billable hours or $600, but the bookkeeping will only cost you $420. Advantages include profit for your business, reducing the headache of a task that causes you stress and the accuracy of your records will improve by hiring a professional.

YMCA’s Zero Gain Campaign Open Contributed Article YMCA

The Jamestown Area YMCAs have teamed up to help area residents and business employees stay on track with their weight during the holidays with their seventh annual Zero Gain Campaign. Participants in the Zero Gain Campaign pay only $5 and weigh in before Thanksgiving on November 20-23 and weigh out after New Year’s on January 1-3 at either the Jamestown or Lakewood YMCAs or at their workplace. Those who maintain their weight or lose pounds will receive a prize. Participants will also receive three guest passes to the YMCA and chances to win certificates for personal training, massage, ballroom dancing, or tennis. “Most Americans engage in feasting from Halloween thru New Years and sometimes beyond,” says Meg Pickard, Wellness Director. “If we do feast, as many people do, without

control, then we set ourselves up for bad patterns, ill health, and weight gain. The Zero Gain Campaign is an easy way to combat such behavior.” Even though participants do not have to be YMCA members, a special YMCA Zero Gain membership is also available for the duration of the Zero Gain Campaign for the low cost of $42. This special membership provides access to both the Jamestown and Lakewood YMCAs which provide free babysitting services for family or youth members, a variety of free group exercise classes including Zumba®, yoga, indoor cycling, water exercise, free family nights, and much more.

Contributed Article 1891 Fredonia Opera House

The 1891 Fredonia Opera House will close out its 2011 Cinema Series with four critically acclaimed current films, including the box office smash hit comedy “50/50,” Brad Pitt’s “Moneyball,” and the political intrigue drama “The Ides of March.” This last batch of films for the year begins with the action thriller “The Debt.” It will be screened on Sat., Oct. 22, at 8 p.m. and Tues., Oct. 25, at 7:30 p.m. “The Debt,” directed by Academy Award nominee John Madden, is adapted from the 2007 Israeli film Ha-Hov and stars Helen Mirren, Tom Wilkinson and Jessica Chastain. The story begins in 1997, as shocking news reaches retired Mossad secret agents Rachel (Mirren) and Stephan (Wilkinson) about their former colleague David (Ciarán Hinds). All three have been venerated for decades by Israel because of the secret mission that they embarked on for their country back in 1965-1966, when the trio (portrayed in ﬂashback by Chastain, Marton Csokas and Sam Worthington) tracked down Nazi war criminal Dieter Vogel, the feared Surgeon of Birkenau, in East Berlin. While Rachel found herself grappling with romantic feelings during the mission, the net around Vogel was tightened by using her as bait. At great risk, and at considerable personal cost, the team’s mission was accomplished – or was it? The suspense builds in and across two different time periods, with startling action and surprising revelations that compel Rachel to take matters into her own hands. Betsy Sharkey, in the Los Angeles Times, calls the film “a superbly crafted espionage thriller packed with Israeli-Nazi score settling.” Claudia Puig, in USA Today, calls it “an intelligent thriller with moments of unnerving suspense.” Marshall Fine, in The Huffington Post, says “gripping, white-knuckle

excitement! ‘The Debt’ is what you want from an action thriller.” Colin Colvert, of the Star Tribune, adds “unraveling secrets too clever and original to reveal, Helen Mirren holds the screen effortlessly.” Rated R for some violence and language, “The Debt” runs 114 minutes. Tickets to the Opera House Cinema Series are available at the door for $7 (adults), $6.50 (seniors & Opera House members) and $5 (students & children) the night of each screening. For more information, call the Opera House Box

Office at 716-679-1891. The Series continues with “50/50” on Oct. 29 & Nov. 1; “Moneyball” on Nov. 5 & 8; and “The Ides of March” on Nov. 12 & 15.

WCA Adds Sophisticated Open Bore M.R.I. Technology

Contributed Article WCA Hospital

WCA Hospital is pleased to announce that the latest in MRI technology is now available at the Center For Imaging & Medical Arts at WCA. The addition of the Siemens OpenBore MAGNETOM Espree 1.5 Tesla at WCA accommodates patients up to 550 pounds and is designed for individuals who experience claustrophobia, anxiety, and excessive pain or limited mobility. The openbore MRI also features a 1.5 Tesla magnet which delivers the sharpest images to assist physicians in diagnosis and treatment planning. WCA Hospital offers the “additional” MRI scanner on Saturdays and Mondays. To schedule an appointment, contact WCA Hospital MRI at (716) 664-8MRI. “The new technology enhances our capabilities to deliver the best in patient care,” said Betsy T. Wright, FACHE, WCA Hospital President/ CEO. “We continually find new ways to serve the needs of our community with advanced medicine and technology. Our

new open-bore MRI complements our extensive range of superior diagnostic services at the Center For Imaging and reaffirms our pledge to bring the latest technology alongside highly skilled and exceptional physicians who utilize the most effective forms of treatment.” Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) exams have become one of the fastest growing types of medical diagnostic tests in the United States, due, in large part, to its ability to provide non-invasive diagnostic images of soft tissues, bone, fat and muscles and to help in the detection and diagnosis of a variety of health conditions. The new open-bore design of the MAGNETOM Espree 1.5 Telsa MRI at WCA, uses the strongest magnet field strength of any other MRI technology, giving physicians access to many imaging opportunities, including neurological and functional neurology evaluation, orthopedic and vascular imaging. The System’s large 70cm opening is wide enough to accommodate a diverse array of patients including individuals such as children, larger patients up to 550 pounds,

Holly Gatto, RT, Insight MRI Manager at WCA Hospital, performs an examination on the sophisticated Open-Bore Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) imaging technology at the Center For Imaging & Medical Arts at WCA Hospital. The MRI technology utilizes a magnetic field and radio waves to produce a highly accurate view of the inside of any portion of the body. Aided by a computer, MRI is able to produce an image of bone and soft tissue from many different body angles or planes. This enables WCA physicians to quickly and precisely diagnose a wide variety of conditions.

the elderly, and those who experience claustrophobia and anxiety. The new system allows for the patient’s feet to go in first and the patient’s head can remain outside of the system. This means that the patient’s

head can remain outside of the bore during most procedures not involving head, neck or upper spine. This helps eliminate any anxiety or claustrophobic effects. “The open-bore MRI boasts

the strongest open magnet field strength used clinically today, capturing exceptional image quality in faster scan times with reduced repositioning, and higher image resolution with increased clarity and

detail,” says Dallen Ashby, MD, board-certified radiologist at WCA Hospital. “With its larger bore size and stronger magnet, the technology is well suited to meet the needs of all MRI patients, but particularly those with special needs such as claustrophobia and anxiety, allowing our patients one of the most comfortable MRI imaging experiences.” Additional imaging services offered at WCA Hospital include, ultrasound services, MRI imaging, breast MRI imaging, interventional radiology, PET/ CT imaging, bone densitometry (DEXA) screening, mammography screening (same day results), stereotatic and ultrasound-guided breast biopsy, patient navigator support, and CAT Scan imaging.

Jamestown Rotary Club

Bradley Van Riper, Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer of Truck-Lite spoke with the Rotary Club of Jamestown about Truck-Lite at a recent meeting. TruckLite’s world headquarters is in Falconer. It does $1/2 billion in sales annually. It is a world leader in LED technology in transportation. There are 50 engineers in the Falconer plant alone and the goal of the company is to double business every 5 years. Truck-Lite began in a Jamestown kitchen in 1955. It was purchased by Quaker State in 1964 and then by Penske in 1997. The Falconer location was established in 1968. There are 11 facilities world-wide, 5 are in the United States. They hold over 200 world-wide patents and have an impressive customer list, including UPS, FedEx and John Deere. There are three divisions of operation: transportation, automotive, and performance racing. The “hot” item currently is LED (light emitting diods) lighting. LED is very efficient, lasting 100 times longer than traditional lighting, which hasn’t changed much since Edison’s time. LED shows no failure from shock or vibration

Rex McCray, president and chief executive officer of Weber Knapp, made the announcement at Weber Knapp’s corporate offices in Jamestown. “Local manufacturers like Weber Knapp seek to hire and retain qualified engineers, and such demand is expected to grow in the future,” said McCray. “Local engineering students should be encouraged to return to our community when they have completed their college education, and to live and work here among family and friends. We at Weber Knapp hope this new scholarship will help attract local engineering students to our company as a possible future employer and career opportunity.”

The Rotary Clubs of Chautauqua County will host the Rotary District 7090 Group Study Exchange (GSE) visitors from Brazil in late October. The team arrived in Toronto on October 2 and will visit with Canadian Rotarians until they transfer to United States clubs on October 16 when they will visit Leroy, NY until October 20th. Fredonia will host the four young adults and a Rotary Club member-leader from Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, a state in southern Brazil from Oct. 20-23. Their occupations range from the plastics business to graphics design and from high school teaching to law professor. On October 23rd the group will transfer to Jamestown where they will be hosted in the homes of members of the Rotary Club of Jamestown, the Greater Jamestown AM Rotary Club, and the Westfield-Mayville Club. The group will spend all day Tuesday with members of the WestfieldMayville Club touring the northwest portion of the county, observing County Court operations in Mayville and overseeing grape growing operations at Baran Estates and the Growers Cooperative. Monday, October 24, the Brazilians will be matched with professionals in the Jamestown area for their vocational visits with Truck-Lite, Jamestown

City Court, 360 Graphics and Jamestown Public Schools. After presenting a program on Brazil to the Rotary Club of Jamestown at noon Monday at the Jackson Center, the group will meet the Mayor at City Hall and be hosted on a walking tour of the city by Lee Harkness with visits to the Reg Lenna Civic Center, the Luci Desi Museum, the Jamestown Ice Arena, and Infinity.

Canada experience at the annual Rotary District 7090 Conference, Oct. 28, 29 and 30 in Niagara Falls, NY with members of the 79 clubs of western New York and Canada before returning to Brazil on October 31. Rotary is an international service organization with a strong commitment to community service. In addition to community service, part of the organization’s international mission is to promote peace and understanding throughout the world. The Group Study Exchange is one example of how Rotarians do that. Chautauqua County Rotary Clubs have participated both in sending and receiving young professionals aged 25-40 to various countries for 30-day stays for many years. Participants study the host country’s institutions and ways of life, observe their own vocations as practiced abroad, develop personal and professional relationships and exchange ideas. Local Rotarians and spouses give generously in hosting the visitors for three nights and include, Dan and Katie Smith of Bemus Point, Deb and Deke Kathman of Jamestown, Melanie and Lyndon Gritters of Lakewood, Todd and Tricia Allan of Lakewood, and Marijka Lampard of Jamestown. Numerous members will be driving the visitors around the county. Rotarian Dan Smith is the chairman of the United States GSE Committee.

The Barbara Saletta Meritorious Service Award, given annually to recognize a secretarial or clerical employee with outstanding service attitude, was presented to Ms. Snyder. A Dunkirk resident, Snyder was hired in 1992 in the Accounting Office as a Calculations Clerk I. She was later promoted to Calculations Clerk 2 in 1994, and then Administrative Aide in 2000. Sandy Noble, Director of Ac-

counting, described Diane as “…an outstanding example of [SUNY Fredonia’s motto] ‘Where success is a tradition.’ She has a tremendous internal drive to do a good job and pay our vendors in a timely manner. Diane’s ‘Fredonia pride’ is evident to anyone who comes in contact with her…” Snyder has been a volunteer during the United Way Week of Caring and is a SEFA solicitor. She is also an active member of the SUNY Fredonia Administration Team at the Relay for Life. The Poummit Secretarial Award in Memory of Janet Marks, a former secretary to the president of SUNY Fredonia, was presented to Ms. Anderson, who has worked as a secretary for over 35 years — first hired by SUNY Fredonia in 1976 as a Stenographer.

Trick or Treat: Halloween Safety

Randy DeVaul

Halloween can be a lot of fun, though it has hazards to address. From ﬂaming costumes and decorations to tainted candy to avoiding moving cars kids on the street to scaring

the living whatever out of your pets, etc – if you think about it, it seems almost too dangerous to enjoy. A few safety tips from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission can protect children who plan to go trick-ortreating this Halloween. Treats: Warn children not to eat any treats before an adult has carefully examined them for evidence of tampering. Flame Resistant Costumes: When purchasing a costume, masks, beards, and wigs, look for the label Flame Resistant. Although this label does not mean these items won’t catch fire, it does indicate the items will resist burning

and should extinguish quickly once removed from the ignition source. To minimize the risk of contact with candles or other sources of ignition, avoid costumes made with flimsy materials and outfits with big, baggy sleeves or billowing skirts. Costume Designs: Purchase or make costumes that are light and bright enough to be clearly visible to motorists. For greater visibility during dusk and darkness, decorate or trim costumes with reflective tape that will glow in the beam of a car’s headlights. Bags or sacks should also be light colored or decorated with reflective tape. Reflective tape

is usually available in hardware, bicycle, and sporting goods stores. To easily see and be seen, children should also carry ﬂashlights. Costumes should be short enough to prevent children from tripping and falling. Children should wear wellfitting, sturdy shoes . Mother’ s high heels are not a good idea for safe walking. Hats and scarfs should be tied securely to prevent them from slipping over children’s eyes. Apply a natural mask of cosmetics rather than have a child wear a loose-fitting mask that might restrict breathing

or obscure vision. If a mask is used, however, make sure it fits securely and has eyeholes large enough to allow full vision. Swords, knives, and similar costume accessories should be of soft and ﬂexible material. Pedestrian Safety: Young children should always be accompanied by an adult or an older, responsible child. All children should WALK, not run from house to house and use the sidewalk if available, rather than walk in the street. Children should be cautioned against running out from between parked cars, or across lawns and yards where ornaments, furniture, or clotheslines present dangers.

Choosing Safe Houses: Children should go only to homes where the residents are known and have outside lights on as a sign of welcome. Children should not enter homes or apartments unless they are accompanied by an adult. People expecting trick-or-treaters should remove anything that could be an obstacle from lawns, steps and porches. Candlelit jack-o’-lanterns should be kept away from landings and doorsteps where costumes could brush against the ﬂame. Indoor jack-o’-lanterns should be kept away from curtains, decorations, and furnishings that could be ignited.

date and location in my own handwriting using a Glaze Pen in “Hunter Green.” (Both available at Joann’s stores.) The embellishment was created using two pre-made paper tags from an old kit that I would not have considered using if they had not literally fallen into my lap from the shelf above. I attached them to each other using an eyelet and my Cropa-Dile setter (Amazon.com, $17.47,) though a small hammer would have also done the job. The rhinestone moon is actually an earring that I found in the Cabana Sam’s Sunset Bay Grill parking lot. This served two purposes : First, to tie the brown colors of the title and the sand in the photo together into a visual triangle and also to subtly illustrate the transition in the photo from daytime into night represented by the rising moon. The final step is to adhere the fabric to an old piece of 12” X 12” card stock to make it rigid for placement in my album. Though this page was more time consuming than a tradi-

tional paper layout, I think that the result was worth the effort. It’s a unique way to showcase one of my favorite photos from my favorite place to be. Have you ever used fabric pieces in a layout?

This week’s $ pick : Wegmans Unbreakable BPA-Free White Wine Stem Glass, 945 Fairmount Ave., Jamestown, (716) 483-9900. This stemware is my go-to glass for wine when enjoying it outdoors.

to those wealthy Christians that they should not be prideful or put their trust in money. Notice that God didn’t say that it was wrong to be wealthy. In the preceding verse, God said that He gives us “richly” all things to enjoy! I don’t know about you, but this is an attribute about God that “religion” never taught me! If we can get a hold of this truth concerning material things, it will really set us free (John 8:32). Some well-intentioned people

resist the concept of wealth by indicating that Jesus told us that “it is more blessed to give than to receive” (Acts 20:35). It is also true that the Bible exhorts us to give to the poor (Gal 2:10). But how can we give anything if we don’t have anything ourselves? God’s intention for money is to be used for His purposes and blessings. Money is to be our servant and is never to become our master.

us that it is impossible to live in this world without somebody offending us in the ﬂesh. The word “offenses” in this verse is a very interesting word. The original Greek word from which this word was translated means “trap” or “snare.” Offense will trap you into a world of defeat. Proverbs 18:19 says, “A brother offended is harder to be won than a fortress and their arguments are like the bars of a castle.” This verse paints the picture of the offended person: They are held captive in the bowels of a fortress; behind bars and a prisoner not easily rescued. Think about how a prisoner

lives. They are not well fed or well clothed. Their surroundings always seem drab and hopeless. They are constantly without someone to help them. Do not underestimate how your offense affects your finances, relationships, and peace of mind. Spiritually speaking, our attitudes affect every area in life. Don’t allow offense to hold you prisoner in a place where you cannot be helped. If life seems like a struggle, see if you are offended. If so then forgive that person. Be a blessing to them and live free.

Gel Medium Transfer on a Fabric Layout

There are few places I’ve know more appropriately named than Sunset Bay, NY. The sandy shores of Lake Erie yield the most spectacular views of the sky, with a new, breathtaking view every evening. I take a photo almost every night, feeling a sense of loss when I’m away from home at that time or when Mother Nature gets overcast and decides not to share the sky that evening. I’m privileged to live here fulltime and appreciate the “Sunset Show” even more when I get to share it with my neighbors. On those evenings when the weather cooperates, several of us emerge form our homes, onto the beach, with cameras and cocktails in hand. The photo I used for this week’s layout was taken on one of those nights, just after the sun sank beneath the horizon. My scrapbook pages of my sunset photos are often simple, with limited, if any, journaling and tend to feature one large focal point photo rather than a standard 4” X 6” print. The skyscape is a masterpiece

and too much embellishment would distract from, rather than enhance it. This layout does not veer from that formula, except that the medium used to create the page was fabric, rather than paper. I serged the edges of a 12” X 12” piece of white muslin fabric (available inexpensively at any fabric store or Wal-Mart) to resemble a cloth napkin. Next, I printed my photo on 8.5” X 11” paper using the “Best” printer setting. I then applied Liquitex Gel Medium (, on sale through 10-22-11) with a foam brush directly on top of the print in a thin, even layer. I then applied it, gel medium side down, to the fabric, and used a craft spatula to smooth it out. Once dry, I re-wet the paper and rolled it off with my fingers, leaving the transferred image behind on the fabric. Though I haven’t tried it, Mod Podge and an old credit card would likely work just fine for this transfer technique. A stepby-step tutorial is available online on the “A Beautiful Mess” blog at http://abeautifulmess.

typepad.com. To “age” the fabric with its photo image, I soaked it in the remainder of that morning’s coffee and let it dry. After ironing, I hand-stitched the frame using a double strand of embroidery ﬂoss in an offwhite color and added small stone beads, glass “pearls” and frosted glass beads from an old

necklace. Though I would have loved to use some gorgeous pieces of beach glass, the sizes I wanted for this project are just too difficult to drill holes in successfully and would be better used on a paper layout. I stamped the title “Perfection” using Tim Holtz’s Distress Ink in “Walnut Stain,” a versatile dark brown color. I added the

Keeping the Faith

By Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church of Chautauqua County

Dear Pastor, does God care about material things? Last week, we saw that God created material things for purposes of good. If they were inherently evil or harmful, God would not have created them. The Bible also tells us that it is not the “thing” itself, but rather our attitude about material things that should be our focus. Money is not the root of all evil but the love of money, to the exclusion of loving and serving God, is! The Bible tells us in

Matthew 6:32-33 to keep our focus off daily-living worries, “These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. (33) Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and He will give you everything you need.” So, can a person have ample money and possessions and still love and serve God?” Absolutely yes! Did you know that the Bible is filled with

examples of individuals who were wealthy and served God whole-heartily? It’s an amazing testimony to God’s love that these individuals were blessed with vast amounts of material things. Yet God doesn’t want us to love the “blessings” more than the “bless-or”. The Bible warns us in (1 Tim 6:17), “Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high-minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy.” The Bible says

The Weekly Word The Offense Trap

Rev. Tim Stahlman Family Church of the Southern Tier

Many people today are struggling through life as they try to carry excess baggage in the

form of past hurts and grudges. Others have allowed their personalities to feed and thrive on controversies and scandal. People do not realize the emotional fatigue and stress they are bringing on themselves when they stay offended at somebody. To remain defeated in life all you have to do is live in offense. 2 Corinthians 2:10-11 says, “To whom you FORGIVE any thing, I FORGIVE also; for if I FORGAVE anything…I FORGAVE it in the person of Christ; lest Satan should get an ADVANTAGE over us for we are not ignorant of his

devices.” Did you notice who Satan gets the advantage over? It wasn’t the person who committed the offense; it was the one that refuses to forgive. The person who dwells on offense will live under the pressure and restlessness that demonic forces provide. Grudges and offenses will plague your mind and wear you out emotionally and physically. If you are constantly worn out, check up on your offenses. Notice that these verses are written to a group of people who were given an opportunity to forgive. But look at what the author of the verse said:

He said that he forgave this individual IN THE PERSON OF CHRIST. What does that mean? That means that under his own strength he could not walk in forgiveness. The only possibility of forgiving this offense was in the recognition of Christ. Sometimes that will be the case in our lives. Offenses can seem so huge that it will take a recollection of what Christ suffered to forgive us so we can forgive others. It may take a supernatural example of mercy to motivate us. In Luke 17:1, Jesus says, “…It is impossible but that offenses will come…” Jesus was telling

Mental Health Today

By Lucy Studd Contributing Writer

Twenty-one years ago, Congress declared the first full week of October “Mental Illness Awareness Week.” It does not get the publicity that heart disease, breast cancer, lung cancer, colon cancer or diabetes gets but remember research and development in those fields are much further ahead then diseases of the brain. The most effective effort in regards to breaking the stigma attached

to mental illness is education, an open mind, willingness to learn, and compassion. The result will be better treatment options for those diagnosed with a mental illness. Remember the AIDS scare of the eighties and the moment when Rock Hudson and Linda Evans shared a kiss on nighttimes’ soap, Dynasty. The public upset centered around the fact that Mr. Hudson did not share his diagnosis with anyone and that Linda Evans could possibly contract AIDS because of the kiss. Of course we know better today. I would like to share part of a news article with you concerning the incident in Hollywood as it portrays stigma at its finest. People Magazine September 23, 1985 “It is a town near hysteria. Since Rock Hudson’s confession, actresses have been shunning love scenes with gay co-stars. In a world known for easy sexuality, even a social kiss is suspect. From sound stage to the party circuit, from the

power lunch to the privacy of the bedroom, Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome has become Topic A. Los Angeles has been hard hit by the aﬄiction. Faced with few medical facts and many myths, Hollywood has reacted with both unreasoning fear and admirable courage. The danger is that fear could get the upper hand. There is a great deal of confusion and hysteria in Hollywood. The slogan at the time was “Fighting for Life.” People said incredible things, like they’re nervous about going to the bathroom or going to swimming pools. Casual sex is becoming a thing of the past. Others worry that the AIDS scare could lead to punitive measures against homosexuals, who are most at risk to the disease. Gays aren’t being invited to parties anymore; there are many talented, creative gays in this business. There is simply no room for prejudice. When the Knots Landing costar went to the hospital, she didn’t recognize her friend of

eighteen years, a producer. He was in a coma, and his weight had deteriorated beyond belief. He died that afternoon. He was barely 40. Donna Mills didn’t learn until that day that he died from AIDS “I loved him and I still miss him very much. But if I am being honest, I have to say, ‘Would I have gone to that hospital if I had known he had AIDS?” AIDS has turned a one-industry town into a one-theme town. Where people once only talked about films, they’re now talking about people. Anyone who looks even vaguely out of sorts is said by people to have AIDS. Given so few facts and so much misinformation, hysteria has sometimes colored professional conduct. One star, rumored to be sick appeared on The Tonight Show, makeup artists reportedly burned the brushes that had been used on him. A prime-time actress requested no kissing scenes with the gay actor who plays her husband. This is only a portion of the

Rentals The YWCA has meeting rooms as well as bedrooms available for rent. “Our gymnasium can accommodate about 150 people, the assembly room holds 70 and we have smaller areas as well” reported facilities manager Nancy Tresler, “there are 5 bedrooms on the second ﬂoor, all fully furnished.

Peoples Magazine article but it shows us how damaging lack of knowledge and stigma can be. AIDS is still out there but due to research those with AIDS live good quality lives for many years after they have been diagnosed. Why? People were dying by the thousands and others around them once educated provided support and money was raised for more research. AIDS still exists in this country and actors always pass the hat for AIDS following performances to donate the money to research. Community awareness and attitude has changed due to education. Stigma built on negative images of those with mental illness exists due to lack of knowledge and its consequences can be devastating. Fifty percent of the mentally ill do not seek treatment because of a symptom known as anosognosia, or the inability to recognize they have an illness. In general, many are so ashamed of the illness they do not seek help. When left untreated for decades or never treated the illness progresses

15 and those aﬄicted may act on disturbing delusions and the results may be disastrous. Our mental health system is an embarrassment. There is little accountability for the persons providing care for the mentally ill or for the untreated patients to follow medical advice without guidance and support, proper treatment and its success is nothing short of a miracle. Unfair but true, most will fall victim to discrimination in our communities. Unless miraculously enlightened they will remain tortured by their illness for the rest of their unproductive lives. We need to understand that severe mental illness is medical, not behavioural. Medical intervention before the person poses danger is a must and should be provided with dignity and respect as it is for all other health conditions. Through research, education, and advocacy we can make it better for all of us.

Fredonia Opens Title Defense With Cass. Valley By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

The Fredonia Hillbillies have won 11 Section VI games in a row and while they’re off to a 7-0 start and the top overall seed in Class C, head coach Bob Ball knows his team can’t afford to lose focus. “You only play one game a week,” Ball said. “That’s been our motto all year long, never to look ahead and to stay focused on our next game.” Give them credit, it’d be hard not to look ahead to next week with a possible massive rematch with Southwestern. And for a team with many players reaching the state playoffs last year, you’d have to think it’d be on their minds again. “Not really,” Ball said talking about a possible return to the state playoffs. “We’re always telling them to be focused on the next game, focused on the next opponent.” So, for now, Fredonia will have that focus on Cassadaga Valley. The Cougars (2-5) snuck into the playoffs winning their last game of the season to snap a five-game losing streak. That win, coupled with losses from Cattaraugus/Little Valley and Allegany-Limestone gave the Cougs the fourth and final playoff spot from C South. “They’re a big physical team,” Ball said. “It should be very similar to our last game with Dunkirk.” In that game, Fredonia and Dunkirk were tied at 20 heading into the fourth quarter, but the Hillbillies pulled away at the end like they have all year long. Fredonia trailed Gowanda 28-12 at halftime, led Cleve Hill just 13-8 at halftime and with another close

game in Week 7, Fredonia rallied for monster second halves to win. “I don’t want to have to come from behind,” Ball said. “But it’s nice to know when the pressure is on, our kids are ready to go. It’s good to know we have what it takes to win games on the inside.” Although, trailing in this game would certainly send some shockwaves throughout Section VI football, as the Hillbillies are a big favorite. That doesn’t mean Cassadaga Valley intends on just rolling over. Both of their wins have come on the road Continued on pg 2

Red Hot Red Raiders Host Lockport In AA Quarterfinals By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

After Jamestown’s Week 2 loss to Orchard Park, the Red Raiders knew they had an uphill climb the rest of the season if they wanted to be in position to play for the sectional title. Five weeks later, arguably the hottest team in all of Section VI certainly has fans looking forward to a possible rematch. “As much as I hate losing,” head coach Tom Langworthy said. “We learned a lot from that game. We sat on the field after (the game) and talked about the positives and about how we had to earn respect. Everyone nodded their head in agreement and that’s really been the defining moment of our season.” It sure has. The Red Raiders have dominated since, winning five in a row by an average margin of nearly 40 points. The closest game in that stretch was last week’s 40-13 thumping of defending champion Clarence

in a decisive game that determined who received homefield advantage this week. That of course went to the Red Raiders, who will host Lockport (4-3, 3-2 AA North) who will have to make the near two-hour trip down south to take on Jamestown. “It means a lot (to be home),”

Langworthy said. “That trip down from Buffalo is a task and we take pride in making sure they have a bad experience on the football field. We hope they have a great time in our town and at our school, but those 48 minutes on the field is ours. “Between the stadium, the lights and the band all going, what high school kid wouldn’t be intimidated?”

Don’t sleep on the Lions, though, as Langworthy said. Ezra Nwachukwu, a talented defensive back who intercepted three passes last week — two for touchdowns — now has 10 on the season. “They’re a dangerous team,” Langworthy said. “They run a spread offense, have a good QB and they’re going to come down here and give us their best game.” Interesting while Nwachukwu might be the best cornerback in the league, Jamestown is led by arguably the best wide receiver in the league. Jake Dwaileebe had a monster season this season, catching 29 passes for 472 yards and six touchdowns. He also ran for two scores. But, the balance of the Jamestown offense has made the Red Raiders unstoppable. Running back Spencer DeCinque ran for nearly 1,000 yards and had 11 touchdowns. Ben Whitney, the star linebacker, also ran for six touchdowns. And to back it up, senior speedster Jacob Gullo ran for

Dunkirk Misses Playoffs, Hosts East High School In Non-League Matchup By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

It was a tough season for the Dunkirk Marauders (2-5, 2-3 B South) who had high hopes of making Class B’s sectional playoffs when the season begun. Unfortunately a great start, including a win over traditional power Eden, took a sudden U-turn” right to where u-turn stops at the other part. But, the still very talented Marauders have a chance to wash away a disappointing season when they take on East High School in a non-league game for both schools this Thursday night. No team really had as tough of a schedule as Dunkirk and despite winning just two games, the Marauders could have easily won four,

or maybe games and made the sectional playoffs. Regardless, they’ll move on and play East (1-6, 0-5 B East), who won their first game of the year against East Aurora before losing their next six. Similarily, Dunkirk started off 2-1 before losing their last four. The Marauders also beat East Aurora 25-0 in Week 3. Last week, Dunkirk had rival Fredonia all knotted up at 20 heading into the fourth quarter, but ended up losing 33-20. Star running back Eddie Marshall ran for 172 yards and two touchdowns and should have done enough to be named as an all-league selection. Senior linebacker Kyle Utegg also had 14 tackles and one sack and will also be a likely all-league selection.

FREDONIA PLAYOFFS continued from pg 1 and they might have figured out their offense after a tough stretch of 12 points in four games midway through the season. “Cassadaga Valley is going to give us a good test,” Ball said. “Luckily we’re healthy and have been all year and hope that continues for us.” Fredonia will rely on it’s potent offense that has so far had too much speed for opposing teams to defend. Wide receiver Weston Ley has put up large numbers recently, and their run games has been consistent led by Dylan Cassidy, Zach Buckley and quarterback Connor Farnham. The Hillbillies are averaging 31.2 points per game and while their defensive numbers aren’t among the league’s best,

they’ve made big plays late in games to preserve leads as mentioned earlier. As far as looking ahead goes, well it might at least be on the mind of Ball. It certainly is on the minds of all local football fans. A Fredonia-Southwestern rematch could happen next week. “I haven’t looked at a single Southwestern game yet,” Ball said. “We have the video, but I couldn’t tell you what their strengths are or anything like that. It’ll be exciting to have that rematch and I’m sure it would be a little more fun to have at the stadium. “But they have a tough game against JFK and we have Cassadaga Valley. If we don’t take care of business, then none of that will mean anything.”

Elsewhere in Class C

Taking a quick look at the bracket, it’s pretty easy to see the potential showdown between Fredonia and South-

western in the sectional semifinals next week. The Trojans (6-1) lost a regular season game for the first time in four years to Sala-

manca and it cost them the top overall seed from C South. Thus, they’re now thrown on the same side of the bracket as Fredonia and long-awaited rematch of last year’s title game might be closer than originally thought. Don’t forget it was Fredonia who snapped Southwestern’s 38-game winning streak in Class C’s final last year. However, Southwestern has to get through JFK (4-3) first. The Bears, who only lost three games, all of which were pretty close, could be a tough out. They lost to Cleve Hill 14-0 and Fredonia 29-14. Not many teams were able to keep the either of the top two teams from C North within two touchdowns. Cleve Hill (6-1) put up huge

offensive numbers this season, averaging just over 35 points per game. Their lone loss came against the Hillbillies and they are certainly a darkhorse to make the final. They drew Bob North’s Westfield/Brocton team who has surprised a few in their first year as a joint program. Quarterback had a pretty good year both on the ground and through the air for the Wolverines (4-3). Finally, Salamanca (6-1), the top seed in C South will play Akron (4-3) who finished 2-3 in league play this year. But, the Warriors who many might have slept on this season have won six in a row and are really blowing teams out behind a tough defense.

If they were to win, they’ll get the winner of Clarence and Niagara Falls in the semifinals. Clarence crushed Niagara Falls 35-0, but that was in Week 3 and was at Clarence. This time, Niagara Falls will be home because they are the higher seed (No. 2 in AA North) and the Wolverines have yet to lose at home this season (4-0). The usual South division

domination might be halted in the other quarterfinal game, though, where Lancaster will travel to Kenmore West. The Blue Devils (6-1) have won six in a row since losing their opener to Orchard Park and have done so by routing teams. In those wins, they weren’t held under 27 points and their closest game was a 49-31 win over Niagara Falls.

JAMESTOWN PLAYOFFS continued from pg 1 four touchdowns. “It’s really been the execution by our players,” Langworthy said about the offensive balance. “The run sets up our pass and vice versa. Right now, it’s an offense that all of our players are comfortable with and that can make for some big plays.” However, Jamestown will be without their starting quar-

terback Dennis Drew for the second straight week due to a suspension. His replacement Zach Panebianco, a freshman, did a remarkable job against Clarence. He completed 9-of16 passes for 83 yards and a touchdown pass to Dwaileebe. “We’re looking forward to Friday,” Langworthy said. “There’s no looking ahead right now, but obviously our goal is to play at Ralph Wilson

Stadium (for the sectional championship).”

Elsewhere in Class AA

Orchard Park (7-0), the No. 4 team in the state seems fairly determined to avenge last season’s loss in the championship to Clarence. They did so by pounding the Red Devils 44-13 two weeks ago and in doing so, clinched the top spot in AA South.

Defending Class D Champ Silver Creek Opens With Portville By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

Last year heading into Class D’s playoffs, Silver Creek was 8-0 and hadn’t allowed a single point in over a month. This year, the Black Knights certainly are a different team, but don’t count out the defending champs just yet. “We’re telling the guys to just take care of business this week,” head coach Sean Helmer said. “And next week we’re playing for a chance to play at (Ralph Wilson) Stadium.” Things haven’t been easy, though. Silver Creek won their first 11 games last season, but were tripped up three times this season and is something Helmer said his team needs to forget about, especially after last week’s 27-6 loss to Frewsburg. “We’re trying to regroup,” Helmer said. “We’re all pretty frustrated after the Frewsburg loss.” Silver Creek trailed that game 7-6 right after halftime, but had things fall apart, capped by a blocked punt that was recovered for a touchdown late in the third quarter. “We didn’t execute well and that blocked punt really took it out of us,” Helmer said. “The momentum can swing so big in the high school game and although I thought we had it out of the gates in the second half, we lost it on that punt.” But, they’ll have every opportunity to put that game behind them this week as they take on Portville (2-5, 1-4 D) a team they beat on the road in Week 2, 41-28. In that game, junior running back Zeddie Williams exploded for 160 rushing yards and three touchdown runs. He also caught four passes for 61 yards and a score. “Zeddie’s good enough to carry us,” Helmer said. “We’ll put the weight on his and Johnny’s (Jimerson) shoulders because they’re good enough to handle it. I’m excited to watch Zeddie in the playoffs, though, and see

At 4-2, Bills Still In Great Shape

Chris Winkler COMMENTARY

It was one of those days he where you just needed to reay mind yourself who you were 2-3 and where you were going. t, ight After all what’s wrong with ave 4-2 when they were 4-12 just ally a year ago. a Sure, the Bills blew a golden opportunity at MetLife Stadium Sunday to steal one on the road from the New York football Giants. It just really seemed like one of those games you hope you don’t look back at come the end of the season while looking up in the standings. Yes, Ryan Fitzpatrick threw an absolutely atrocious ball to Stevie Johnson that really should have been a touchdown and put the Bills up seven with only a few minutes left. Yes I know the Bills blew this one with suspect play calling when they have arguably the leagues’ best back going. However, I must say I liked the play call to go deep to Johnson, who was burning Corey Webster playafter-play. It was just poorly executed — cough, cough, poorly thrown. And yes, even Swiss cheese would be offended if compared to the Bills defense. But, come on the Buffalo Bills are 4-2. I said before the season I thought they could 8-8, which led many of you to think I deserved to be in a NR mental institution. My point, 4) how can we be mad at 4-2 after a hard-fought loss to a tough team on the road? 6) Oh, and they did it without 6) three starters on defense, including the backbone, Kyle Williams and both outside linebackers Shawne Merriot man and Chris Kelsay. And r you can say what you want about Merriman, but Kelsay oes really hasn’t been bad in just d it’shis second season as an outside linebacker. They also did it without starting left tackle Demitrius Bell and when they lost rookie d backup Chris Hairston, forcwo ing them to slide left guard nt Andy Levitre over, I thought and all hell would break loose. ted After all, the Giants have one ch of the best pass rushes in the Red league, even without Justin - Tuck. own But it didn’t.

are a 4-2 football team who have only lost two road games by a combined six points. In addition those losses are against teams that are also 4-2. Meanwhile, they’ve handed the Patriots their only loss and the Raiders one of their two losses. So what exactly is there to complain about? Most of it comes back from realizing how easily your team could be undefeated, but the Bills have had their fair share of luck, or good fortune, this season. And considering they have they have two very winnable games coming up after the bye week — an extremely well-timed bye week also — with the Redskins in Toronto and the Jets back at Ralph Wilson, getting to 5-3, or even 6-2 isn’t far-fetched at all. Nobody can forget about the obvious deficiencies on defense, but I don’t think the Bills mind giving up 27 points as crazy as that sounds. After all, this offense should have put 31 or more but were crushed by two Fitzpatrick interceptions on identical vertical passing plays to Johnson that ended up severely underthrown and in the hands of Webster. But, ease off Fitzpatrick. He’s well on his way to over 3,000 yards passing and around 30 touchdown passes. The interceptions are tough to handle, but don’t kid yourself, Fitzy is a still a former seventh round draft pick that no team wanted. He’s not — nor will he ever be — Aaron Rodgers. He’s doing just fine and try not to forget the Bills average 31.3 points per game. That’s second in the league behind only the Packers. The defense? Well, it’s not good, but it is better than last year. They’ll have Williams back soon (should be back for Washington) and that simply helps everything. Drayton Florence had a rough game against Eli Manning, but if you’ve watched every game this year, you should know Florence has been well worthy of being re-signed. He’s not the problem. The Bills are legitimately a steady pass rush away from being a top-tier team in this league. Obviously, Merriman is the obvious answer, but his long-term status is a question mark. Getting Williams back will help and don’t be surprised if you see more Arthur Moats from the edge, especially in obvious passing situations. So, relax, the sky isn’t falling yet. This Bills team is headed in the right direction and right now that’s a lovely date on Jan. 7 or 8 to end this team’s 11-year playoff drought.

IT’S GOOD FOR YOUR GAME

BIRDIES AND BOGEYS

Sour grapes “It’s not a junior tour,” said Stacy Lewis last year about Lexi Thompson. This year, Lewis, 26, was paired with Thompson for the third round at the Navistar LPGA Classic and shot 73 to Lexi’s 67. On hand for the winner’s celebration the next day was reporter Tim Rosaforte, who made note of the fact that Lewis was not on the 18th green to congratulate Thompson for her 17-under 271, a 5-stroke victory. The Surly Pro says: Maybe Lewis was in the locker room putting her nose back in joint. Lewis has been unfairly burdened with the weight of rescuing women’s professional golf — and now here comes a very skilled homegrown 16-year-old who effortlessly shoves her aside.

A hot dog with Frys? During the last round at the Frys.com Open, a man rushed from the crowd, shouted something in what sounded like Latin, fired a hot dog at Tiger Woods, then fell to the ground and surrendered. The hot dog was concealed in a bun, which flew off during the attack. The police would not say if the perpetrator acted alone, but Frank, a source close to the investigation who uses only one name, as do many people in California, said that security had confiscated dangerous fruits a day earlier from several men before they entered the tournament grounds. Among them were two large radishes and a Coco de Mer (sea coconut). Tiger remained calm and missed his 18-footer for a birdie. The question: Was a crime committed? A California state legislator said there was a law already on the books against hitting someone with a dangerous fruit, but there was no law covering an attack with processed meat. The legislature plans a referendum that would cover all food no matter what its country of origin.

TEEING OFF

A game of

opposites Golf is filled with misconceptions, more so perhaps than any other game. Why? Because the game is counterintuitive. Even though your brain is a problem-solver par excellence, it’s fooled when it comes to golf. Its solutions are logical, but they are often wrong. Games like Frisbee or Kick the Can present “point-A-to-point-B” problems that are easily solved, so they require little, if any, instruction. But because you must stand to the side of the ball, golf is a fooler, and the brain misinterprets the problem. Examples of golf solutions that don’t make “sense” but are correct include: 1. The hips go to left field, the clubhead to right field, and the ball ends up going straight to center field. Go figure. 2. You must hit DOWN on the ball to get the ball UP in the air. 3. Your shoulders swing on one plane while the hips swing on another. Golf is one of the few sports where this puzzling “double plane” is a must. 4. To stop the ball from going left, you must turn your hips to the left, i.e., in the direction you don’t want the ball to go. But if you turn them too soon, the ball goes right. Try figuring that out without help. 5. Through impact the hands and

Thus Lucie, Fla. the hands and Visit his website at club handle tjtomasi.com. move away from the target while the clubhead moves toward the target. 6. In most other sports our arms and body work together, but in golf the arms do the up and down and the body does the around, and they don’t get into each other’s business. And then we have the mother of all puzzlements: The average golfer tries to get the clubhead onto the target line at the start of the downswing. This makes sense since that is where the ball is, but it causes the most common swing error in golf, called “over the top.” The good player learns to do just the opposite — keep the club off the target line until just before impact. In the photos here you can see the difference in shaft position. When you try to force the clubhead onto the target line too early, the shaft is steep, meaning that the arc of your swing is much too abrupt. It’s like trying to land a plane using an extreme vertical descent. You’re liable to stick it in the ground.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“I didn’t understand all of it, but I understood some of it.” — Tiger Woods, about the swing theory he’s working on with his swing coach. Say what? What could they be working on that is so complicated that the world’s best golfer, who has been playing since he was 2, can’t understand?

Note how this pro’s clubshaft is under his shoulder with the butt end of the club pointing at the ball. His hands are almost at impact, and the club head hasn’t swung out toward the ball yet — very counterintuitive, but it’s the only way to play great golf!

Tiger finished tied for 30th at the Frys.com Open.

By trying to force the club onto the target line from the top of his swing, this player creates a precipitous approach to the ball that won’t end well. To avoid an accident at impact, practice hitting the inside of the ball rather than the back of the ball.

Making a shot plan If you’re like a lot of golfers I know, you can make good shot plans when things are going well, but under pressure you lose track of what you are trying to accomplish. One way to organize your brain so you can run it efficiently under all conditions is to develop a rating procedure for each shot. Here’s a simple way to make a good plan: First, construct a strength and weakness profile where you honestly rate your performance with each club. If a club is one of your strengths, label it a 1, a moderate strength, label it a 2, and if it’s a weakness, give it a 3. The second part of your plan is to rate the demands of each shot. Tough driving holes and well-protected pin placements are given a 3 rating, which means, “don’t challenge”; 2 stands for “caution” and 1 means “attack.” The idea is to stay away from the high numbers as much as you can: 1-1 is great, 3-3 is not a good combination. Here’s an example. You’re faced with a narrow fairway, a 3 situation (don’t challenge). Because your driver is one of your weaknesses (a 3 club), your choice of driver off the tee produces a rating of 3-3, a code that always indicates you’ve got the wrong plan. The best move here is to switch to a 5-wood or even a 5-iron just to keep your ball in play. The rule of thumb is: When there’s a 3 situation, the only time you attack is with a 1-rated club. Violate this guideline and sooner or later you’ll pay the price. GOLF SPOKEN HERE

Duck hook/ Goose hook A duck hook is when the ball goes way to the left (for right-handed golfers) with a quick curve. A goose hook is an extreme duck hook in which everything is magnified. If a duck hook starts 25 yards off line and curves another 25, then a goose hook would go 50 or more yards off line and curve another 50. Big difference!

ASK THE PRO Q: I saw Tiger be very methodical in the rain at the Frys.com when he had a layup shot. What is going on there? How do I pick a layup spot? — A.V. A: Yes, even with the rain pelting down, he sent his caddy ahead to measure the yardage on that long par 5 after he hit into the hazard. Of course, Tiger is not your average bear (sorry to cross animal species on you). For a normal golfer, when you’re more than 200 yards from a green that is fronted by hazards — whether you’re on a par 4 or a par 5 — you should lay up. This is simply common sense. If you don’t reach the hazard with your shot, then you’ve essentially laid up anyway. And if you do reach the hazard, you’ve also essentially laid up and you’re now hitting your fourth or fifth shot

into the green. In a nutshell, if you’re not absolutely positive you can carry the hazard, don’t be a hero. On the other hand, if you have a wide-open shot to the green, your decision should be influenced by the conditions. Uneven lie? Lay up. One- or two-club wind in your face? Lay up. Trouble on the left and you happen to hit the ball right to left? Lay up. That being said, you shouldn’t lay up more than 150 yards from the green because it’s going to be a lot harder to get a 5-iron to check up on the green than it would be to drop a high, soft 9-iron in there.

GOLF BY THE NUMBERS

Lies that make you a better golfer

Course consumes most of club’s membership fees

Always tell the truth and be honest, says the memo from Lincoln Land — unless you are a coach trying to get the most out of a player. Then, at least according to research by Kevin Thompson, head of sport and exercise science at Northumbria University in England, it’s OK to be untruthful in order to maximize your athlete’s performance. Thompson tricked cyclists on stationary bikes by pitting them against an avatar figure of a cyclist on a computer screen. The avatar, Dr. Thompson said, was peddling at a speed that matched the fastest the athlete had ever cycled, making it in effect a race with himself. But unknown to the racer, the fix was in, because the tricky Thompson had set the avatar to peddle 2 percent faster than the cyclist’s best. What happened next was counterintuitive — the riders matched the avatars, thus eclipsing their best time ever. Nobody knows for sure what is going on here, but the explanation is thought to be

related to a protective mechanism in the brain that shuts down the muscles after they reach a pre-arranged set point. There is only so much fuel stored in your muscles, and if it were allowed to drop to zero during an all-out effort, you would literally be frozen and unable to move. That’s not a good situation should you decide to flee halfway through a fight with a saber-tooth tiger. Interestingly enough, offers of money as an incentive did not increase individual performance, which suggests that the emotional aspect of competition may be the driver. Of course, there is great interest in understanding how the mechanism operates and how it can be safely breached, not only for the benefit of world-class athletes and their coaches, but also for any person interested in improving performance. In our sport, what golfer would mind being “fooled” into hitting the driver farther and straighter?

Now that we are all wondering where our money goes when we send it along to the federal government, Golf Magazine decided to do an audit of where your club mem-

bership fees go. They chose a new private club in Scottsdale, Ariz., with 425 members and a $75,000 initiation fee. That totals $32 million for the club, and here’s where the money went:

$13.1 million — course design and construction $ 9.9 million — clubhouse and amenities $ 4 million — land $ 5 million — operating subsidies until membership is filled The members also pay $500 per month in fees, which help defray these monthly expenses: $85,000 — course maintenance $85,000 — operations, staff, payroll, etc. $22,500 — taxes, insurance, other expenses $20,000 — capital reserves

Ironmen Offense Catches Fire With 11 Goals, Weekend Sweep By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

Behind a revamped roster, the Jamestown Ironmen took advantage of some home games this weekend and swept a pair from the Chicago Hitmen for the second time this season. Of course, this time, they hope their ensuing road trip goes a little better. The Ironmen swept a pair from the Hitmen in Chicago to open the season, only to lose their next eight games — all on the road — before returning home two weekends ago. This time, with a few new faces, the Ironmen dispatched Chicago again with a 7-1 victory Friday night and a 4-3 overtime win Saturday night. “Friday was the first time we scored first and it was our 13th game,” head coach Dan Daikawa said. “But this weekend was really the first time we stuck to what we had planned during the week of practice and it worked out for us.” With three players suspended and another three injured Friday night, Jamestown jumped all over Chicago scoring three first period goals with newcomer Bryan

Watt getting the first two. Mark Esshaki, who also came to Jamestown along with Watt when they were acquired from St. Louis, added an assist on the second goal. “The newcomers have really helped us with puck possession,” Daikawa said. “It’s enabled us to move the puck a little easier and get our defenseman a little more engaged in the offense.” Anthony Coles scored with just about five minutes remaining in the first period to seemingly already put the game away and put Coles on the start to a memorable night. Jeff McFarland added an unassisted shorthanded goal midway through the second period and Coles did the exact same with about a minute left in the period to put Jamestown ahead 5-0. The Ironmen also outshot Chicago 32-17 in the opening 40 minutes. Nick Bingaman scored a third straight shorthanded goal before Coles got his hat trick with five minutes left in the game. Bingaman also added two goals in Saturday’s win over the Hitmen that saw the Ironmen again battle from behind. For the 13th time in 14

games, Jamestown allowed the opening goal. Bingaman would tie soon after, but two more Chicago goals had the Hitmen up 3-1 after one period, leading Daikawa to pull backup goalie Curran McNamara in favor of his star goaltender Joey Ballmer. “You have to feel for Curran,” Daikawa said. “Because the guys just weren’t responding with him out there and that’s not his fault. When we put Joey out there, everybody seemed to stick out their chest a little more and it’s a shame they didn’t play like that for Curran.” But the change was a good one as Ballmer saved the final 23 shots Chicago peppered and Bingaman’s second goal of the night with just less than two minutes left in the game tied the contest and sent it into overtime. There, Matt Moore skated down on a breakaway with just seconds left in overtime and beat goaltender Nick Kohn for the win. It was the 61st shot of the night for the Ironmen who suddenly are right back in the race in the North Division after such a tough start. Meanwhile, it was another great performance from Ballmer who kept his team alive despite the slow start. “He was the second star of

the week in the league,” Daikawa said. “He’s the type of guy that wants everyone to get on his back and let him the carry the team. That’s what a starting goalie is supposed to do and he’s been a huge part of our success. Even the games we’ve lost, he’s stopping 30 to 40 shots.” As mentioned earlier, Jamestown struggled after a successful weekend against Chicago earlier in the year. Now, they’ll head back to the state of Michigan to face the Warriors Thursday and Friday before taking on Port Huron Saturday night. Remarkably, they’re only three points behind Traverse City and four behind Port Huron “We’ve had a few successful weekends and hopefully we can feed off what we did last weekend into these three games,” Daikawa said. “When I look at the tape of our last Michigan game, we really took it to them a little bit, but just made too many mistakes. “Right now, we’re just trying to get better every day and that’s really started to happen especially since all of the changes we made. We want to go out there this weekend and grab all six points, but taking two out of three wouldn’t be bad either.”

49ers Hand Lions First Loss Of Season; Coaches Scuffle Afterward

Contributed Article Associated Press

DETROIT— Jim Harbaugh charged across the field, lifting his shirt to expose his belly to attempt a chest bump. He extended his right hand to Jim Schwartz for a shake and slapped him on the back with his left hand. Schwartz didn't like what was done or said — claiming he heard an expletive — and went charging after Harbaugh. What an emotion-filled scene following a meeting of turnaround teams that matched pregame hype in San Francisco's 25-19 victory over Detroit on Sunday. The NFC might have a nasty new rivalry no one saw coming. After the 49ers knocked the Lions from the unbeaten ranks on Alex Smith's touchdown pass with 1:51 left, both coaches added some highlights — or lowlights — of their own. Harbaugh took the blame in one breath — and a shot in

the next. "That's totally on me," Harbaugh said. "I shook his hand too hard." NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said the incident will be reviewed. Harbaugh, a first-year NFL coach who played at Michigan, had to be separated from Schwartz more than once after Schwartz came running and lunging toward him as both teams were going to the tunnel. "I went to congratulate coach Harbaugh and got shoved out of the way," Schwartz said. "I didn't expect an obscenity at that point. Obviously, when you win a game like that, you are excited, but there is a protocol that goes with this league." Players from the 49ers (5-1) and Lions (5-1) gathered and appeared to restore order — probably because they were worn out from a hard-hitting, penalty-filled game with four lead changes after halftime. "Ironically, I was playing peacemaker," Detroit defen-

sive end Kyle Vanden Bosch said. "But this is an emotional sport." Smith's fourth-down, 6-yard pass to Delanie Walker gave San Francisco the go-ahead touchdown with 1:51 left. The play stood after video review didn't show definitely whether Walker's right knee was down before the ball reached the goal line. David Akers gave San Francisco a six-point lead with 1:02 to go with a 37-yard field

goal. Detroit had a chance to drive for a winning TD, but couldn't get a first down against a swarming defense that hit and confused quarterback Matthew Stafford from the start. That last drive started with San Francisco's fifth sack and ended with a catch and lateral — 69 yards short of the end zone — to trigger Harbaugh's exuberant celebration. "It fires me up a lot," Harbaugh said. "If that offends

you or anybody else, then so be it." San Francisco lost its first five games last season and the fivetime championship franchise failed to finish with a winning record for the eighth straight year. Harbaugh has made an instant impact, quickly changing culture with many of the same players. The NFC West-leading 49ers have won five of their first six games for the first time since 1998. "He loves football," Smith said. "He's an emotional guy, and it's showing up on this team." Smith lost a fumble on his first snap and threw an interception late in the third quarter, matching his turnover totals from the first five games in both categories. But the No. 1 pick overall from the 2005 draft made a clutch pass to Walker for the win when Michael Crabtree drew away the defense. "They kind of jumped Crab and left me open in the middle," Walker said. "Alex made a great read and made a

perfect throw." Smith was 17 of 32 for 125 yards, going early and often to Crabtree, who matched a career high with nine receptions for 77 yards. Frank Gore ran 15 times for 141 yards, including a season-long 55-yard gain, and scored a TD that pulled the 49ers within three after they were outscored 10-0 in the first quarter. Stafford looked shaky for the first time this season and San Francisco had a lot to do with that. "It's a good defense," he acknowledged. Stafford was 28 of 50 for 293 yards with two TDs. Detroit had won nine straight regular-season games, dating to last season, in what was the league's longest active streak. "We had trouble getting guys free, and when we did, we didn't always make the throws," Schwartz said. "We need to get the running game going so that we don't look quite so one-dimensional."

Two-Time Indy 500 Winner Wheldon Killed In Wreck By John Marshall Associated Press

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Every race car driver heads onto the track understanding this race could be the last and hoping it won’t be. On Sunday, IndyCar drivers got a harsh reminder when the worst happened to one of their own. Two-time Indianapolis 500 winner Dan Wheldon died when his car got caught up in a 15-car pileup, sailed over another vehicle and smashed into a catch fence at IndyCar’s season-ending race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. “Things happen in this kind of racing,” said Wade Cunningham, also caught up in the wreck. “It’s so close. Not much room for error. I was near the front of what caused all this, so I’m not thrilled about it. At this point, whose fault it was is kind of immaterial.” The green flag had barely stopped waving when disaster struck. Wheldon, driving from the back of the field for a chance at $5 million, was moving through the pack when he drove into a tangle of cars careening off each other in every direction. Unable to avoid the massive wreck unfolding before him, Wheldon clipped another car and went hurtling through the air, his car bursting into flames as it flew into a fence. After just 11 laps, the race was over. Two hours later, track officials announced that Wheldon was dead. The Englishman was 33. “One minute you’re joking around at driver intros and the next, Dan’s

COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — This Thanksgiving one of college football's oldest and most storied rivalries will be put on indefinite hold when Texas and Texas A&M meet for the last time as Big 12 foes. The Aggies wanted to continue the series when they left for the Southeastern Conference in July, but the Longhorns told the Aggies that their non-conference schedule is full through 2018. These schools, separated by just 105 miles, first met in 1894 and have played every year since 1915. It is usually the last regular-season game for both teams and is an event that people in the state and beyond watch as a holiday tradition.

gone,” said Dario Franchitti, whose wife, actress Ashley Judd, had to bring him a box of tissues. “I lost, we lost, a good friend. Everybody in the IndyCar series considered him a friend. He was such a good guy. He was a charmer.” With the speed — close to 225 mph during practice — and a crowded 34-car field, a big worry was aggressive driving early in the 200-lap race. Chaos started when two cars touched tires coming around turn 2 and almost no one had time to react. Within seconds, several cars burst into flames and debris covered the track nearly halfway up the straightaway. Some points of impact were so devastating workers had to patch holes in the asphalt. Video replays showed Wheldon’s car turning over as it went airborne and sailed into what’s called the catch fence, which sits over a barrier designed to give a bit when cars make contact. Rescue workers were at Wheldon’s car quickly, some furiously waving for more help to get to the scene. “It’s unfortunate that early on in the race they’ve got to be racing so close. …,” Team Penske owner Roger Penske said. “You always worry about those at these mileand-a-halves at the speed and with this many cars.” Three other drivers, including championship contender Will Power, were hurt in the pileup. Wheldon was airlifted from the track to University Medical Center; news of his death came from IndyCar CEO Randy Bernard: “IndyCar is very sad to announce

that Dan Wheldon has passed away from unsurvivable injuries,” he said. “Our thoughts and prayers are with his family today. IndyCar, its drivers and owners, have decided to end the race.” In his honor, drivers, many sobbing openly, took part in a five-lap salute around the 1.5-mile oval as thousands of fans stood and cheered from the grandstand. Also injured in the crash were JR Hildebrand and Pippa Mann. Both will remain in the hospital overnight. IndyCar said Mann was being treated for a burn to her right pinkie finger and will be released Monday morning; Hildebrand was awake and alert but will be held overnight for further evaluation. Power was evaluated and released. An autopsy was planned Monday for Wheldon. “I’ll tell you, I’ve never seen anything like it,” Ryan Briscoe said. “The debris we all had to drive through the lap later, it looked like a war scene from Terminator or something. I mean, there were just pieces of metal and car on fire in the middle of the track with no car

attached to it and just debris everywhere. So it was scary, and your first thoughts are hoping that no one is hurt because there’s just stuff everywhere. Crazy.” IndyCar has not had a fatality since Paul Dana was killed at Homestead in 2006 during a crash in a morning warmup. Wheldon won the race later that day. The accident appeared to start when Cunningham’s car swerved on the track and Hildebrand drove over the left rear of Cunningham’s car. Hildebrand appeared to go airborne, and Cunningham’s car shot up into the wall, setting off a chain reaction among the cars behind him. Some of those cars slowed, others didn’t, and others spun in front of Wheldon and Power. There was so much confusion on the track it was hard to tell who was driving what car. Power appeared to fly over Alex Lloyd’s car, his ride rolling into the catch fence and landing on its right side. His in-car camera showed one of the front tires coming toward him in the cockpit. Wheldon then appeared to drive over a car driven by Paul Tracy, who seemed to be slowing down. Wheldon, however, went airborne and spun into the fence. “It was like a movie scene which they try to make as gnarly as possible,” said Danica Patrick, making her final IndyCar start. “It was debris everywhere across the whole track. You could smell the smoke. You could see the billowing smoke on the back straight from the car. There was a chunk of fire that we were driving around. You could see cars scattered.” Wheldon, who came to the United

States from England in 1999, won 16 times in his IndyCar career and was the series champion in 2005. Despite winning this year’s Indy 500, Wheldon couldn’t put together a full-time ride this season but had a deal in the works for 2012. Andretti Autosport, the team with which Wheldon won the 2005 Indy 500, had agreed to a contract early Sunday for Wheldon to replace Patrick next season. The deal was supposed to be signed after the race. “Back when he was with the team in ’05, we referred to the team as The Beatles because it was such perfect harmony (with his teammates) — and with Dan coming back, there was talk of putting The Beatles back together,” said John Lopes, chief marketing officer and VP of marketing for Andretti Autosport. “So today is devastating. We not only lost a future teammate, but a longtime teammate. It’s so sad. He’s going to be sorely missed and fondly remembered.” Wheldon landed in the Las Vegas race thanks to Bernard’s promise of $5 million to any moonlighting driver who could win the IndyCar season finale. Although there were no takers, Bernard refused to scrap the idea and Wheldon was declared eligible for the prize, which would have been split with a fan. Asked about speed after the crash, Wheldon’s former boss Chip Ganassi said, “There’ll be plenty of time in the offseason to talk about that. Now is not the time to talk about that.” And Franchitti said: “I agree. We’ll discuss that and sort it out.” “What can you say? We’re going to miss him,” Ganassi said. “Everybody in IndyCar died a little today.”

Texas-Texas A&M Rivalry Won't Continue Next Season

Former A&M star defensive end-linebacker Von Miller, the second overall pick in this year's NFL draft by Denver, was at Kyle Field on Saturday as an honorary captain for the Aggies' game against Baylor. He lamented the loss of the game against Texas as he stood on the field waiting to watch the Aggies play the Bears. “I think it's a big loss for college football in general,'' he said. “That was one of the games that a lot of people look forward to watching on Thanksgiving, and it's just unfortunate.'' Scores of key moments from the football histories of both schools are tied to the game. Former Texas A&M coach Paul “Bear'' Bryant's 1954 team, which survived his grueling camp in Junction, Texas, played the Longhorns. Texas A&M's only Heisman Trophy

winner, John David Crow, was a member of the first Aggie team to beat Texas at Memorial Stadium in 1956. It was against the Aggies in 1998 that the Longhorns' Ricky Williams broke the Division I-A career rushing record in a 26-24 win. Earl Campbell, who also won the Heisman, had the best game of his Texas career against the Aggies when he ran for 222 yards and three touchdowns, and scored on a 60-yard pass in a 57-28 win by the Longhorns in 1977. Some, like Texas A&M sophomore Travis Straub, are mad at the Longhorns for not accommodating Texas A&M. Straub is already looking ahead to this year's game against Texas, and he wore a shirt with the date of the game emblazoned on the back in large, maroon block letters on Saturday.

“I just think they need to get over their pride because they can be pretty arrogant sometimes,'' Straub said. “It's their loss, not ours.'' But Texas graduate Anne Finley said it really isn't the Longhorns' fault. “I blame A&M,'' Finley said before Texas played Oklahoma State on Saturday. “They're the ones leaving.'' Texas A&M president R. Bowen Loftin, who led the charge for the Aggies to move to the SEC, has been vocal about his desire to continue playing Texas throughout the conference realignment process. “We're able to accommodate them anytime they want to make that happen,'' he said of the rivalry. “It's their choice, obviously, if they don't want to do that, and I have to respect that choice, but it will

be a loss to both of us and the state of Texas.'' Loftin pointed out that most states have key instate rivalry games that take place each season despite conference boundaries. Texas athletic director DeLoss Dodds emailed Texas A&M athletic director Bill Byrne late last week to tell him the Longhorns couldn't fit A&M into their schedule through 2018. “What we have right now is a full schedule, but if any future options are available, the decision will not be made by just one person,'' Dodds said in a statement. Loftin hopes they can renew the rivalry when Texas has room on its schedule. “It's open at any time,'' Loftin said. “There's no doubt in our minds to accommodate this kind of game at any time now

or in the future.'' One Longhorns fan thinks a new team could take the place of A&M as the team's archrival. “Down the road we'll probably play the Aggies off and on like we do Arkansas, but it won't be the same,'' said J.B. Chimene, a Texas alumnus and Austin resident who was taking his son Coby to the game against Oklahoma State. “I think we'll pick up some other rivalry for this century.'' One bright spot for some fans of this game is that if the teams eventually meet again, it will likely add to the intensity of the matchup. “We've been playing those guys over 100 years, so hopefully we'll get to get back at it again. When we do, it will be a huge game,'' Miller said.

Bradshaw’s 3 TDs, 104 Rushing Yards Sink Bills Bills Need To Put Loss Behind Them With

Upcoming Home Games

By Owen McGuinness Star Sports Writer

till the end of the game. Some highlights from the game included native Buffalonian Naaman Roosevelt putting six up for the Bills after running a screen pass 60 yards for a touchdown. Fred Jackson had a phenomenal day running the ball with 121 yards over 16 carries averaging him a little over seven yards per carry on the day. David Nelson caught four passes and turned them into 62 yards, and while C.J Spiller didn’t run the ball once, he put up 39 yards over 5 catches on the day. This is such a tough loss because the Bills played such good football. In the end, mistakes are what appeared to take the Bills down. The Bills went on the road to meet a seasoned team with an experienced quarterback at a packed stadium in New York, and put up a great fight. While Buffalo

fans may have been expecting a win, they must now wait two more weeks to see if the Bills can correct Sunday’s game mistakes. The Bills are no doubt ready to play their next two home games (after the bye week) first against, Washington, and then against the Jets (which has been sold out). With Terrence McGee ready to return, the Bills lacking defense will be replenished with one of their star defenders. Washington had a tough loss on Sunday, taking their quarterback, Rex Grossman out of the game after throwing four interceptions. It is unclear as to whether he will start in next Sunday’s game against Carolina, or for the Bills home game on the Oct. 30 at the Rogers Center (not Ralph Wilson Stadium).

Bills fans held their breaths this Sunday as Buffalo lost to the Giants at the Meadowlands. While this loss isn’t 93 record tarnishing, it bumps the Bills down to 4-2 on the season, giving Buffalo a ght startling reminder of previous ng seasons when Bills’ winning the streaks ran out early on. ak.

The forward capped his hat trick not even four minutes into the second half as he dribbled in alone against Mitchell Mack and beat the sophomore keeper. One of Charlotte's other goals came off the head of Charles Rodriguez in the 18th minute as the 49ers used that tally to take a 3-0 lead into the halftime break. The fifth, and final, goal of the contest was scored in the 88th minute by Donnie Smith. The Bona score came in the 65th minute off a Charlotte own goal. The goal, sent into the net by Charlotte defender Anthony Perez, occurred off an SBU throw-in. "We have to find a way to open the first 15-20 minutes of a game better because we once again put ourselves in an early hole," head coach Mel Mahler said. "At the same time, I give Charlotte credit. They're a good team and capitalized on our poor defending which resulted in them taking four shots and scoring three goals early. "Every man on the roster needs to recommit themselves to being more focused in everything they do. We need to find a way to regroup and get ourselves organized to get three points against Saint Louis." Charlotte entered the weekend ranked No. 11 by College Soccer News, No. 15 by the NSCAA and Soccer Times and No. 19 by Soccer America. Mack made seven saves on the night as the 49ers put a total of 12 shots on net, compared with two for the Bonnies. The Bonnies will get back to work next against Rhode Island on Friday as they open the home portion of their A-10 slate. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. from McGraw-Jennings Field.

ball out of bounds to allow the Bonnies to substitute. At a muddy McGraw-Jennings Field on Friday, Molly Curry put home the tying goal in the 41st minute to help St. Bonaventure secure a tie against Charlotte (4-7-4, 1-2-1). Charlotte's Jonna Handra gave the 49ers the initial lead in the 29th minute after converting on a penalty kick following a foul in the box. Handra finished just outside the reach of SBU keeper Jennifer Andrews, who made six saves in her fourth straight start. Twelve minutes later though, Curry finished a pretty play with her team-leading fourth goal of the year. Alicia Elwell and Janelle Taylor worked in tandem along the sidelines before Elwell sent a cross that Curry volleyed home off her right foot. The Bonnies earned a 21-14 shots advantage and outcorned Charlotte 7-4. SBU returns to action at Rhode Island on Friday and will conclude the weekend at UMass on Sunday.

Miller Stops 40 Shots In Sabres' 3-1 Win Over Habs Arpon Basu

NHL.com Correspondent

MONTREAL – Ryan Miller was the lone reason the Buffalo Sabres got out of Montreal on Tuesday night with two points, and his teammates know it. Miller almost singlehandedly kept the Sabres in the game with 39 saves, including 29 through two periods, making goals by Jordan Leopold and Thomas Vanek stand up in a 3-1 win against the Canadiens. "Ryan basically stole us this one," Sabres captain Jason Pominville said. "He played great. He's been playing great for a while now and you get to know what to expect out of him. He comes in to battle, he never gives up on any shot. He made a couple of big saves to keep us in there." The Canadiens (1-3-1) dominated the play nearly from start to finish, with the lone exception of the second half of the second period, but still couldn't avoid their worst start to a season since 1999 with one win in their opening five games. "To me, we played the game the way we needed to play," Canadiens coach Jacques Martin said. "We put pucks behind their (defense), we forechecked, we created chances. But sometimes you don't control the result." The Sabres (4-1-0), meanwhile, came away with a victory they may not have fully deserved were it not for Miller, registering a season-low 23 shots on goal but managing to beat Carey Price twice. Christian Ehrhoff scored his first goal in a Sabres uniform with 28.3 seconds to play, scoring into an empty net from just behind his own goal line to ice it for Buffalo. Miller, however, tried to downplay the disparity between the two teams. "They were just so motivated," Miller said. "They came out and every line was working hard for them and I think we got caught

watching them a bit. It took us a while to get going, but I think the last half of the game was a lot better." Vanek continued his torrid start with his fourth goal to extend his season-long point streak to five games. The big positive for the Canadiens was that surprising rookie Raphael Diaz scored his first NHL goal, and it was a beauty. He jumped in on the rush, took a pass from Max Pacioretty and out-waited Miller to score from a sharp angle into a largely empty net. It was quite a moment for the 25-year-old Swiss defenseman, who was a long shot to make the team out of training camp but has proven to be a vital cog in an injury-riddled Canadiens defense corps. Still, Diaz was disconsolate following the game. "We lost the game, I think it's more important

that we win as a team," he said. "For sure that moment was nice, but it's better that we win the game and I get my goal in some other game." The Canadiens entered the night as the more desperate team and it showed early on, dominating the Sabres by a 14-3 margin on the shot counter but registering nothing on the scoreboard through the opening 20 minutes. "If you've been around the game long enough you can just kind of sense it that we needed to get one here or else they were going to steal it," Canadiens center Scott Gomez said. The line of David Desharnais centering Pacioretty and Andrei Kostitsyn was particularly effective, generating about five or six quality scoring chances through the opening frame but failing to solve Miller. Pacioretty finished the night with nine shots on goal. "We were buzzing, but we have to finish a little better as well," Desharnais said. "Still, we're

working hard and we need to keep doing that." The storyline continued into the second, with the Canadiens controlling every aspect of the play but again coming out of the period tied. Montreal finally got on the board at 2:08 of the second when Kostitsyn and Pacioretty set up Diaz. His defense partner Hal Gill dutifully collected the puck from the scorers' table and delivered it to Diaz, who was beaming from ear to ear on the bench. Tomas Plekanec had a glorious chance to increase Montreal’s lead to 2-0, but he fanned on his shot with a wide open net and slid the puck into a diving Miller's stomach instead at the 7:06 mark. The Sabres took advantage and tied it at 12:21 when Drew Stafford's long backhand from a sharp angle was re-directed by Price into the slot, where Leopold easily buried it for his first of the season. The shots on goal at the time were 25-10 Montreal. The second period finished with the Canadiens enjoying a 30-15 lead in shots, but trailing 2-1 when a late-period icing by Josh Gorges turned into a Vanek goal with under three seconds to play, a perfect shot to the far top corner off a faceoff victory by Paul Gaustad. "Paul Gaustad's been one of our best faceoff guys for a few years now," Pominville said. "They iced the puck and we were able to go out there and get a look that we were able to talk about before and we were able to execute it. It was a great shot by (Vanek) too." Gorges was upset with himself for the mistake of clearing the zone too hard, as he was hoping to dump the puck out to the neutral zone to kill the clock. But ultimately, the play wound up killing his team. "We need to learn that one shift," he said, "can determine the outcome of the game." That, and a dominant goaltending performance at the other end.

Use A Computer As A Hunting Tool By Steve Peacock Star Outdoors Writer

Well it was a disappointing first weekend of bow season. I spent more time dodging raindrops than I did hunting. But that does not mean the time was wasted. I did some scouting right from home, on the Internet. That’s right the Internet can be a valuable tool for hunting. Aerial photos and topographic maps are great for picking stand locations. I use them to identify areas of dense cover and natural funnels I was able to find everything I

needed for free with a simple search. This type of scouting is especially helpful when hunting a piece of property for the first time. It is also handy to have an aerial photo for coordinating and making a game plan for a group. I’ve also printed the photos so I could get a landowner to draw in his property lines for me. While this does not replace actually getting out there and looking around, it does narrow down the options thus saving time. Hopefully I have given some of you ideas how to be as ready as you can be when the weather finally cooperates. All of the recent rain while bad for the hunting has done wonders for the Steelhead fishing. Last week I stated some rain “should bring more fish into the streams.” This was confirmed last Friday after a tip from a coworker; I was able to see several fish right from a local bridge. Now the problem is too much rain, swelling the creeks to un-fishable levels. This also can be monitored via the Internet on the USGS web site. They do not monitor all of the creeks, but you can still get a good feel for how the numbers relate to your favorite fishing spots. Opening day of turkey season is this Saturday. Hopefully the weather will cooperate this weekend.

DEC Announces 2011-2012 Waterfowl Season Dates Contributed Article Department of Environmental Conservation

New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Commissioner Joe Martens announced that information about the upcoming waterfowl hunting seasons, including season dates and updated regulations, is now available on the DEC website. This year’s season selections were developed by a team of DEC biologists from around the state, with input from waterfowl hunters, including hunter task forces. DEC has looked to task forces to help select waterfowl hunting season dates for more than a decade. “New York’s unique configuration of waterfowl management zones provides hunters with open seasons and hunting opportunities in a broad range of areas in the state from September to April,” said Commissioner Martens. Duck Season Outlook: Most duck populations in New York are doing well this year due to excellent habitat conditions across panded in eastern New York, the continent for waterfowl from Westchester to Washnesting and brood-rearing. ington County, and is open However, breeding populaduring the same time periods tions of eastern mallards and as deer hunting. wood ducks — the two most commonly harvested ducks Crossbows may not be used in New York — were lower during the early bowhuntthis spring than in 2009, and ing or early muzzleloading seasons, but crossbows may be Atlantic Flyway biologists are concerned about a long-term used during the regular firedecline in eastern mallards arms and late muzzleloader that became more apparent seasons. in recent years.

DEC Announces Early Bow Season In The Southern Zone Contributed Article Department of Environmental Conservation

The 2011-2012 Southern Zone bowhunting season and Northern Zone muzzleloader season for deer and bear began at sunrise on Saturday, Oct. 15. The Southern Zone includes most of upstate New York outside of the Northern Zone, except for Westchester County. The Northern Zone, generally includes the Adirondacks, the Tug Hill Plateau, the eastern Lake Ontario plain, and the Champlain and St. Lawrence valleys. “The early seasons are a great time to be in the woods,” said Commissioner Joe Martens. “With recent legislation now allowing 12-13 year olds to purchase a Junior Bowhunting license, we encourage adult hunters to share their passion, experience, and time with a junior hunter this year.” Hunters are reminded of several other changes for the

upcoming hunting seasons: Mandatory antler restrictions are in effect during bow and gun hunting seasons this year in a portion of Wildlife Management Unit (WMU) 3A in the Catskills (part of Delaware, Sullivan and Ulster counties). The new law, established by the New York State Legislature, covers the portion of WMU 3A that lies south and west of State Route 28 and requires that bucks taken in this part of WMU 3A have at least one antler with 3 or more points that are at least one inch long. The law applies to all public and private lands and all hunting seasons in the affected portion of WMU 3A. Only hunters under the age of 17 are exempt and they may take any antlered deer with at least one antler measuring three or more inches in length. See the DEC’s Web site for more information about antler restrictions in New York. Bear hunting has been ex-

therefore maps should be closely reviewed. A special spring season for snow geese will continue for the fourth year in all of upstate New York. These birds have become so abundant that they are causing harm to wetland habitats throughout their range. Special spring seasons have been established in many eastern states and provinces to increase hunter harvest and help reduce this population. The daily limit for snow geese is 25 per day. Federal Duck Stamp and State Migratory Bird Harvest Information Program: Hunters 16 or older must have a 2011 federal duck stamp to hunt during any of the 2011- 2012 seasons. Federal duck stamps cost $15 and are available at most post offices and some sporting goods stores. They are also available by calling toll-free 1-800-852-4897 or at www. duckstamp.com. Stamps must be signed across the face by the hunter before they become valid, but they do not have to be attached to the hunting license. All migratory game bird (waterfowl, woodcock, snipe, rails and gallinules) hunters, including junior hunters (age 12-15), must register with New York's Migratory Bird Harvest Information Program (HIP) prior to hunting in any of the 2011-2012 seasons. Hunters must register every year and for each state in which they plan to hunt migratory game birds, and also must carry proof of compliance whenever going afield. To register in HIP, call toll-free 1-888-427-5447 (1-888-4 ASK HIP) or visit www.NY-HIP.com. Hunting Safety: Commissioner Martens reminded hunters to follow simple safety guidelines and to use good judgment when choosing a time and place to hunt. Being considerate of other people enjoying the outdoors or who live nearby can help avoid potential conflicts and ensure a safe and enjoyable season. As coastal areas become more populated, new landowners unfamiliar with the safety, ethics and traditions of waterfowl hunting sometimes respond by seeking to limit hunter access to popular waterfowl hunting areas. Hunters should be considerate and try to minimize disturbance of local residents whenever possible.

Waterfowl Consumption Advisory The New York State Department of Health (DOH) periodically evaluates data on chemicals in wild waterfowl to ensure that hunter harvested birds can be eaten without concerns about adverse effects on human health. The current advisory states that “Mergansers are the most heavily contaminated waterfowl species and should not be eaten. Eat no more than two meals per month of other wild waterfowl; you should skin them and remove all fat before cooking, and discard stuffing after cooking. Wood ducks and Canada geese are less contaminated than other wild waterfowl species and diving ducks are more contaminated than dabbler ducks.” In recent years, DEC has worked with DOH and other state and federal agencies to conduct chemical testing of meat from Canada geese captured and removed from urban, suburban and park locations around the state. This was done primarily to allow that meat to be donated to food pantries and soup kitchens. Based on favorable results this summer, approximately 2,450 pounds of goose meat (nearly 10,000 servings) were made available to needy people. These findings also affirm that consumption of hunter-harvested geese in accordance with the above guidelines should not be a human health concern. Recent preliminary data and other studies suggest that waterfowl that reside in the Hudson River between Hudson Falls and Troy may have PCB levels higher than waterfowl from other parts of the state. Therefore, it is particularly important to strictly follow the DOH advice (e.g., to eat no more than two meals per month and avoid eating fat and skin) for waterfowl taken from the Hudson River between Hudson Falls and Troy. To help further minimize PCB exposures, you may want to consider harvesting your waterfowl from other locations, particularly during the early season when many of the available birds are likely to be resident waterfowl. Because PCBs may have a greater effect on young children or the unborn child, it is particularly important for women of childbearing age and children under 15 to minimize their PCB exposures.

Rifle Hunting For Big Game Begins This Fall Contributed Article Department of Environmental Conservation

Hunters in Cortland, Wyoming and portions of Chautauqua counties (south of Route 20) will be able to use rifles as well as shotguns when hunting for deer or bear during regular season this fall.

These areas join the counties of Allegany, Cattaraugus, Chemung, Chenango, Herkimer, Madison, Montgomery, Oneida, Oswego, Otsego, Schoharie, Schuyler, Steuben, Tioga, Yates and a portion of Broome County, which allow the taking of deer and bear with rifles. The taking of deer and bear

is now permitted concurrent with the opening day of regular gun season for deer. Regular big game season begins this year begins on Saturday, Nov. 19, 2011 and lasts through Dec. 11, 2011. Please be sure to refer to the Regulations Guide to determine which areas are legal for bear hunting. The Regulations Guide is available online at http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/28182.html. If you have any questions regarding the hunting regulations or need clarification, please call DEC's office at 716-851-7050.

Points leaders running neck-and-neck after BofA 500 Chase standings following the Bank of America 500 at Charlotte Motor Speedway 1. Carl Edwards (finished third) 2,203; Leader He had another strong finish and now has four top-five finishes in the five Chase races, with his worst run (eighth) at New Hampshire. But it hasn’t been enough to put much distance between himself and his Chase challengers. “If we can slowly build a little bit of a lead, that’s the best thing we can do,” he said. “It’s so competitive right now. Everybody is so fast that you just take everything you can get.” 2. Kevin Harvick; (finished sixth) 2,198; behind -5 His best Chase finish and only top-five was a second at Chicago; his worst a 12th at New Hampshire, but when his 12 bonus points from the regular season are added in, he’s neck-andneck with Edwards for the points lead. “We have had a lot of goals that we wanted to achieve this year and that was one of the goals we wanted to achieve was to get through these first five races with not too much damage.” 3. Matt Kenseth (finished first) 2,196; behind -7 After a 21st-place finish at Chicago, where he ran dry on the last lap and was penalized for getting a push from a fellow driver, he has responded with Chase finishes of sixth, fifth, fourth and now a first. For a time, he was basically under most everyone’s radar, but now he’s in the spotlight, which isn’t particularly important to him. “What’s important to me is trying to win races and trying to be competitive and go do the best job we can do every week,” he said. 4. Kyle Busch (finished second) 2,185; behind -18 The regular season points leader kept his title hopes alive with a run at Charlotte that started at the back of the pack because of an

engine change and ended with him battling Kenseth for the win. “We’ll take it, and if we can finish second from here on out then we might win this deal,” he said. 5. Tony Stewart (finished eighth) 2,179; behind -24 The Charlotte pole-sitter was fast when he was in front, but once he got mired in traffic he found it hard to improve his position. But he still feels like he can make a run for the title. “We still have half of the Chase races to go,” he said. “A lot can happen.” 6. Brad Keselowski (finished 16th) 2,178; behind -25 After starting 26th, he languished in midpack for most of the race at Charlotte before moving up several spots near the end. Still, his three top-five finishes in five Chase races have him within striking distance of the leaders. “I feel like I know what was wrong. I wish we could run this race again tomorrow and come back with a little different setup,” he said. “We just didn’t catch the right breaks.”

9. Dale Earnhardt Jr. (finished 19th) 2,143; behind -60 The only Chase driver without a race victory this season had another mid-pack finish and needs a strong run at Talladega, combined with some misfortune for those at the top of the standings, to get back in the race for the title. Much of his trouble can be traced to pit road and to mechanical issues. This time it was a problem with a wheel that put him two laps down at one point. “Not everybody is perfect, and we will get that sorted and I am sure they will fight back next week and have a good week,” he said. 10. Ryan Newman (finished 10th) 2,142; behind -61 His second-best finish in the Chase – the best an eighth at Chicago – is good for team momentum, but he’s still a long way from being a title contender. “We needed a solid run to build off of, so we’ll take it,” said crew chief Tony Gibson. “It’s a push in the right direction, and we’ll go to Talladega.”

7. Kurt Busch (finished 13th) 2,176; behind -27 A lackluster run by the Dover winner came a week after another 13th-place finish at Kansas. Add to that a 22nd-place finish at New Hampshire, and it begins to look like the winner of the first Chase will have to wait another year to get his second champion’s trophy.

11. Jeff Gordon (finished 21st) 2,137; behind -66 Many a NASCAR media member picked the four-time champ to win a fifth this year, but Gordon’s finishes in the five Chase races have been uncharacteristically poor. His fourth-place finish at New Hampshire is his only top-10 in the Chase.

8. Jimmie Johnson (finished 34th) 2,168; behind -35 In the biggest Chase story of the weekend, the five-time and defending champion slammed the wall on Lap 317 and went from being among the leaders in the standings to the brink of elimination. “Promise you, this team and myself, we won’t quit,” he said. “We will go for every point we can from here on out and hopefully we are still champions at the end of the year.”

12. Denny Hamlin (finished ninth ) 2,117; behind -86 Last year’s points runner-up and eight-time race winner seems destined to be this year’s cellar dweller. His Charlotte finish was his best in the Chase and his first Chase finish among the top 15. He’s already focusing on improving his team for next year. “We’re just trying to dig through some information right now and try to end on a good note so we have something for 2012,” he said

Despite good news, NASCAR teams face drought of sponsors There’s been plenty of good news of late on the NASCAR front. TV ratings for Chase races are up. The points race is a barn-burner to date. Popular drivers including Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Jeff Gordon have had good seasons, and one of the sport’s oldest and most respected teams, the Wood Brothers, broke a long losing streak by winning the Daytona 500 with the fresh-faced Trevor Bayne at the wheel of the iconic No. 21. But the generally good news hasn’t been enough to bring new sponsor dollars to the sport. When Charlotte winner Matt Kenseth rolled his No. 17 Ford into Victory Lane, one of the first comments was that he doesn’t have a sponsor for 2012 at this point. His current backer, Crown Royal, is leaving at the end of the season, and it also appears that his Roush Fenway Racing teammate David Ragan, the July winner at Daytona, could also be without backing next year as his sponsor UPS is expected to scale back its NASCAR participation. Team owner Jack Roush said that even if no sponsor is found, he won’t park Kenseth, who is in the thick of the championship battle. “The 17 car is secure in Roush Fenway’s livery,” Roush said in the winner’s interview at Charlotte. “We will run it with or without a sponsor next year.” Roush said there has been interest among potential sponsors, but so far there’s no deal. “This is my 24th year of being in the business, and this is the most difficult time that I’ve had,” he said. “We’ve gone through a transition with our sponsors from a time when they wanted to compete for top car to where now the best sponsors want just enough of a car to be able to do their promotions and want to share the bulk of the expense of it if they can. “It’s a really strange time. I’ve never seen anything like this. I’m not sure what we’ll have coming out of it. It’ll be different than it’s been in the past.” The partial-sponsor model will be used next year on the No. 20 car at Joe Gibbs Racing, as Dollar General, a longtime Jack Roush (NASCAR photo) Nationwide and Camping World Truck Series sponsor, will share sponsorship of Joey Logano’s Cup car with Home Depot, which has been the primary sponsor of the car since Gibbs began fielding it in 1999. Over at Richard Childress Racing, team owner Richard Childress expressed optimism about the state of the sport, but he also acknowledged that with the departure of driver Clint Bowyer, he’ll likely scale his four-car team back to a three-car group, with possible limited appearances by a fourth team. His grandson Austin Dillon, now a Camping World Truck Series driver, is the likely driver. As for the drivers involved, most say they just try to focus on the things that are in their control. “I’m not going to get stressed out about it, especially right now in the Chase and with all the things we’ve got going on,” Kenseth said. “I don’t know really what else we can be doing, except for trying to be competitive and run good.” Kenseth said he feels fortunate to have had secure sponsorship for his entire Cup career. “We had DeWalt for over a decade,” he said. “Crown Royal was involved at Roush for over eight years and have been great supporters of the organization … I’m certainly thankful for that and look forward to whatever is next.”

Johnson defies jinx before crash

SPEAKING

Prior to the start of the Bank of America 500 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, Jimmie Johnson expressed little concern about his appearance last week on the cover of Sports Illustrated, a position that has jinxed many an athlete in the past. “I never even thought twice about it to be honest with you,” he said. “It is such a huge honor to be on the cover of Sports Illustrated.” He said on Thursday that he didn’t believe in the jinx. “I would have to imagine that if you talked to the other people that were supposedly jinxed, they just didn’t play right,” he said. “They didn’t do their jobs. I am not going to be superstitious about that. I will be about the time I get up and some other goofy things that I do, but I chose not to be superstitious about this.” Then on Saturday night, Johnson, the winner a week ago at Kansas, slammed the wall in the closing laps and dropped from third in the standings and just four points out of the lead to eighth in the standings, 35 points back.

Busch nears 100th Truck start Among the milestones Kyle Busch will reach this season is his 100th career start in the Camping World Truck Series, which will come this weekend at Talladega Superspeedway, where Busch is the two-time and defending truck race winner. “It’s one of the most exciting times of the year, racing at Talladega,” Busch said. “I’ve won the last two there. Last year it was a phenomenal finish, very exciting for the fans and for our race team. We were all pretty jazzed about that.”

thursday, november 17 Woodsongs Coffeehouse Radio Hour Jeff Erickson: Jeff may be best known as the guitarist for 10,000 Maniacs. We will see, though, that there is more to Jeff than the masterful and unique guitar work he brings to that band. Jeff is a songwriter, a song stylist, and a fine singer in his own right. Having led the interesting project, Last Stop Willoughby, Jeff showed that his depth of musicality deserves attention devoted exclusively to it. We will get a first-hand, privileged look at just that on the November Woodsongs show.

Cammy Enaharo: Cammy is a worthy ukulele player, a heart-capturing singer, and most of all, an original and deeply insightful songwriter. She writes touchingly and compel-

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

Flavor of the Week – Cibo By Dusten Rader Entertainment Editor

There is a new relaxing getaway within the city of Jamestown. It’s a place where guests can stop in for breakfast or lunch to enjoy a moments respite from the day to day. With great food and a friendly staff Cibo is definitely living up to the standards that regulars of the former Cooper’s Cyber Cafe and Deli had grown accustomed to. Cooper’s Cyber Cafe and Deli recently underwent a change in management and as of October 3 it is now known as Cibo. Bob and Sally Szustakowski are still the owners but they now have Brian Ellis and Jodie Suber managing the restaurant. Everyone’s favorite kitchen manager Mike Smoker is still serving up great food and another person on the culinary team is Ken Jandrew. Ellis started his career out in the restaurant business at a young age. His first job was at Aunt Millies Kitchen in Irving. Aunt Millies also employed Ellis’ mother Richelle who was a large part of the inspiration to start his own restaurant. “We had at one point talked about opening a restaurant together but she was diagnosed with cancer and that put a hold on our plans,” said Ellis. “My mother had over 30 years of experience working in restaurants and she was an inspiration.” Ellis also worked for the financial services industry until the downturn of the economy made him decide it was time to make his contribution to help develop some jobs. But, passion for making food was also a huge inspiration. Ellis and his managing partner Jodie have always loved cooking and they really wanted to do something that they love for a living.

“We wanted to create a place where pretty much everyone is going to feel comfortable,” said Ellis. “It doesn’t matter what color or creed you are. I just

wanted a place where people could gather around a table with good fellowship, food, coffee and really enjoy themselves.”

Ellis also wanted to put out good food at a decent price. And, with the most expensive thing on the menu being a Reuben for $6.49 he may have

accomplished his goal. “If you take a look at the menu I think you will find our prices are very reasonable,” said Ellis. The menu features a number

of homemade breakfast items, sandwiches, burgers, salads and soups. Early birds can stop in at 8 a.m. to choose from breakfast sandwiches or wraps, pancakes, potato pancakes, bagels, muffins or Ellis’ homemade version of a quiche that he calls the Breakfast Bake. It includes eggs, cheese, meat, onion and cheese baked to perfection. “It’s a variation of a quiche that doesn’t have a hard crust,” said Ellis. “We also offer a vegetarian version of it. We’ve had quite a call for vegetarian dishes and that’s one segment of the population we do wish to cater to.”

Lunch at Cibo is also worth a try. One of the major new changes to the restaurant was the addition of hamburgers. There are five burgers to choose from and they are all quarter pound hand pressed patties. Each with special seasoning added before being grilled. There is a classic bacon cheeseburger and some unique choices like the Sweet and Spicy or the Bourbon burgers. What makes these two burgers unique is the homemade sauces that add flavor to the already robust taste of the patties. “One thing that was missing on this end of town was a place to get a

burger,” said Ellis. “Jodie came up with the Sweet and Spicy and I came up with the Bourbon burger.” But, Ellis understands that not everyone has time to wait for a made from scratch burger. That’s why he came up with the Cibo’s lunch bag meal to go. For just $5.99 customers get made to order sandwich served with chips and a drink. There is a choice of meat, bread, toasted, cheese, vegetables and condiments. Plus, it actually comes in a brown bag. “It’s great for those who have a smaller lunch break or are in a hurry,” said Ellis. “It allows them to get some good wholesome food in a timely manner.” There are also a number of traditional sandwiches on the menu like the BLT, Grilled Cheese, Grilled Chicken, Tuna Melt and Reuben. “One of the things that we wanted to do was be able to give people the opportunity to get good traditional fare,” said Ellis. “There are a lot of good gourmet restaurants around here and I just wanted to give people a choice of a different type of restaurant.” The soups and salads are also all homemade and fresh. A lot

of which come from family recipes. The chili is Jodie’s recipe. “We’ve had the Italian Wedding soup out once so far and people are already asking when we’re going to have it again,” said Ellis. If breakfast or lunch are not what guests are looking for there are coffee and pastries available. There is a full line of espresso drinks and a case full of desserts to choose from. “What’s great is that we’ve also go the custom coffees,” said Ellis. “So, if you’re looking for an espresso, cappuccino, mocha or latte these are definitely drinks that we do.” As of now Cibo will only be open for breakfast and lunch. But, during special events in Jamestown Ellis plans on staying open later to accommodate guests. Ellis also allows guests to perform open mic style in the restaurant upon request. He is a supporter of local artists and allows them to display their work on the walls as well. The current art display features the work of local teachers from Jamestown Public Schools. The next display will feature the work of students. The work displayed is rotated out each

month to feature new pieces. “Jamestown has a population of many talented artists,” said Ellis. “So, we’ve reached out to that community to let them know that if they’d like to perform we will find a spot in the restaurant for them.” The name Cibo came from the the Italian word for food and nourishment. “I come from an Italian family so the name is sort of a tribute to them,” said Ellis. “And, also to my mom because we’re very proud of our family heritage.” Whether in a rush or looking for a place to relax with good food Cibo is perfect for breakfast or lunch. Take a moment to learn what it feels like to be well fed at an affordable price by people who want to see their guests happy and full. Cibo is located at 100 East Third Street in Jamestown and is open from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday.

Go Places – McClurg Museum By Dusten Rader Entertainment Editor

Chautauqua County is known across the country as a great place to visit. But, what many don’t know is the history behind the county’s current success. Places like the McClurg Museum in Westfield are focused on offering the community access to all that history. So, whether on vacation or a resident take a moment to stop by McClurg Museum to get to know the people who were integral in the formation Chautauqua County. McClurg Museum is a wonderful destination no matter what season it currently is. Open year round, the museum offers tours, displays, galleries, exhibitions, a research library and genealogy information. Those who wish to become a member are offered free admission to the museum, special receptions, quarterly speaker programs and a quarterly newsletter called TimeLines. To sign up for a membership stop in and ask for a Membership Application. The McClurg Museum is also home to the Chautauqua County Historical Society (CCHS). Founded in 1883 it is the oldest historical society in Western New York. According to the society’s brochure their mission is to “foster an interest in and knowledge of the history of Chautauqua County through the collection, preservation and interpretation of objects and archives of local significance.” However, the McClurg Museum wasn’t always home to the CCHS. The CCHS obtained a 75 year lease of the McClurg Mansion from the Village of Westfield in 1950. And, with all the history behind the mansion there is no better place to call home.

Located in Westfield’s Moore Park the historical McClurg Museum is a landmark of Chautauqua County. (Photo by Dusten Rader)

Construction of the mansion began in 1818 by pioneer and son of a wealthy Pittsburgh industrialist James McClurg. Two years later the construction was

completed and the a ten room mansion became a landmark in the county being one of the only brick houses between Buffalo and Erie, PA. Today, it is a

24 room Federal-style mansion with displays on three floors. The McClurgs weren’t the only ones who lived in the mansion.

Throughout it’s years it served as the residence for Lt. Governor William Patterson and William H. Seward the 12th Governor of New York, United States Senator and Secretary of the State under Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson. Seward also served as an agent of the Holland Land Company. In 1872 James McClurg passed and his daughter Catherine Moore, of which the park the mansion is located in is named after, moved into the mansion to live in and manage the McClurg Estate. She made additions while living in the home including a kitchen, the carriage house and two small rooms for a house keeper. She also made some changes to the interior including modernizing and fashion changes which are still visible today. The mansion and its contents were bequeathed to Westfield in 1938 after the death of Catherine Moore’s son William. Unfortunately the contents of the mansion were auctioned off and the house was empty until 1950. Even more unfortunate is that the house was scheduled for demolition that year. However, the CCHS arranged to lease the mansion to make it the home of their headquarters and for it to become a museum in 1952. Because the contents of the house were auctioned off there are very few furnishings and artifacts available for display from the McClurg Family. Instead, the mansion serves as home to artifacts from around the whole of Chautauqua County. There are collections that feature fine art, antique furnishings, textiles and much more. “We think we have between four and five hundred thousand items here in the building,” said curator John Paul Wolfe.

Every room in the house offers a unique theme with different treasures to discover. Currently there is a display called the Lincoln Legacy that features information on the role Chautauqua County residents played during the Lincoln presidency including the Lincoln-Bedell Letters. The display is located in the Civil War gallery, where information on locals who were involved in the war is available.

There is also a display on William Cushing a Lt. Commander from Fredonia who was known for sinking the “Albemarle”. Throughout the years five boats in the Navy have been named after Cushing.

room for children to enjoy that features dolls, toys and more to discover. The Research Library offers guests access to a number of collections like the Elial T. Foote collection, the Cushing family papers, the Albion W. Tourgee collection and the John O. Bowman photographic collection. Among the special events that are hosted by the CCHS is the Christmas Open House. Every year during the Winter season the CCHS offers guests access to the Museum while it is decorated for the holidays. The TimeLines quarterly newsletter is a publication created by the CCHS that is mailed to members. It features information on the current displays within the museum, a schedule of events, local stories on pertinent historical information, photography and much more. There are a number of locals involved in the management of the museum including the current curator John Paul Wolfe. He is also among the 11 trustees. The president of the museum is James O’Brien. But, there is plenty of work to go around and thus volunteers are always welcome at the CCHS. There are a number of projects that are being worked on throughout the year that could

use the help of locals interested in learning about the history of Chautauqua County. One of the current projects that is being worked on by the CCHS is the transcribing of the works of the men who originally created the historical society. These men got together and completed many research papers on a wide variety of subjects. The papers are currently being transcribed then uploaded to the website and are available to read by visiting mcclurgmuseum.org. McClurg Museum and the CCHS are dedicated to preserving the history of Chautauqua County and making what they find available to the community. It offers locals an opportunity to become absorbed in the significant events of the past and get to know the people who helped create this great county. Whether becoming involved as a volunteer or just interested in learning about the past, the McClurg Museum is one of the best places to do it. McClurg Museum is located near the intersection of New York State Routes 20 and 394 at Moore Park in Westfield. It is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. For more information call 716-3262977 or visit mcclurgmuseum. org.

Netflix Streams The Wonder Years

Contributed Article Amber Rinehart

This week I am going to take a break from reviewing movies to talk about the greatest thing that has happened to television in a long time. The Wonder Years is now available for streaming on Netflix and Amazon Prime. In a time when everything from Star Trek to Duck Tales is being released on DVD, there has always been one major title missing. When television shows negotiate with record companies for the rights to utilize their music, DVD distribution is included in the contracts. Back in 1988 when The Wonder Years began, DVD’s did not exist yet, so these rights were not included. Over the past few years, there have been attempts to secure these rights, but with each episode featuring songs from at least two or three separate singers, this means a lot of negotiating. After all this time, it finally happened. Most song rights have been secured and those that have not have been altered, and The Wonder Years is on demand. What is it about The Wonder Years that makes it so timeless? I teach communication at SUNY Fredonia and happened to mention that the show was finally available online. I could not believe the excited response. I cannot think of another show that is so loved by both my 19-year-old students and my 50-year-old father. The Wonder Years speaks to us. Through the eyes of Kevin

Arnold, we see and experience the world. We are able to feel for him and cry with him and grow with him. I remember watching this show as a 13 year-old-girl and understanding how Kevin was feeling. The world seemed so big, yet small at the same time and Kevin helped me to better understand it. Now as an adult, I am able to watch the episodes again and appreciate them on a different level. Even though the 60’s are over and the world Kevin grew up in has changed, the heart of the story has not. There really is no way I can talk about The Wonder Years and do it any sort of justice. To anybody that has never seen the show, definitely check it out and to those who have, gather your family and share what is possibly the greatest show ever produced. The best way to describe The Wonder Years is to quote the final line of the final episode “after all these years I still look back in wonder”.
