Homemade by Scott Edition
By Katy Wise Contributing Writer
Every year, families across the country get together and prepare a large meal to share. This often includes a turkey on the dinner menu. I can't speak for every family, but many families, ours included, have designated dishes for each person to bring. Each person has something to bring to the table, whether it is a dish that they excel at, they are really great at making punch, or they have a great appetizer or veggie tray to share. Our latest tweak to the menu has been my husband taking over the turkey. For the past 3 or 4 years, Scott has been responsible for cooking the main course, and having it ready in time for the rest of the meal to be served. He has discovered a few things that work very well for a turkey that is juicy, but this past year we decided to try the new (or one of many, rather) turkey fads that can be found on the Internet. Bacon wrapped turkey. How can a turkey get better? Put some bacon on it! Scott delicately weaved some bacon together, making a blanket for our turkey, with some matching leg warmers, of course. He then baked the turkey according to his regular recipe, putting an aluminum foil tent over the turkey. This recipe sounds foolproof, right? Well.. It didn't quite live up to the 'adding bacon always makes it better' reputation of bacon. In short, it wasn't all it was cracked up to be. The bacon and the turkey were competing for the main course instead of embracing teamwork, and the turkey skin became soggy and sticky underneath the bacon. Now to be fair, this was the most creative and most well-dressed turkey that I have ever seen. My husband did a fantastic job crafting his oven-safe bird wear. This could be chalked up as one of those 'Pinterest fails.' If you have not yet heard of a Pinterest fail, it is basically a terrific idea gone wrong. Pinterest is filled with terrific ideas, recipes, crafts and more. But sometimes, recipes and crafts just don't end up the way you intend for them to. Was there a flaw in our bacon-turkey? Possibly. Or maybe we just really like the classic, untampered with turkey. If you have made a successful bacon turkey, or have some other great ideas for Maybe we will try the bacon turkey again for an occasion other than thanksgivturkey to share with us, please email us at hbk@star-mediagroup.com ing to perfect it, and let you know all about it. As always thank you for reading, hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Local Departments Seeking Volunteer Firefighters Contributed Article
Infinity Visual and Performing Arts
Infinity Visual and Performing Arts welcomes two new instructors, Tommy Gerace and Mike McGough. Tommy Gerace - Drum Kit and Hand Drum Instructor- Born and raised in Jamestown, Tommy Gerace began studying drum and percussion at the age of seven. At 13, he became an Infinity student, and began teaching West African hand drums in the Jamestown Public Schools, as well as branching out by joining different ensembles in the Infinity program. Tommy took his studies into different genres of music around the age of 15, learning highly advanced drumming techniques and styles while becoming fluent in numerous different music genres. He has performed for several acts, both on drum set and on a variety of hand drums, including; Infinity’s Collective Groove, local metal band Valiance, (which he continues to perform with, writing and recording original music) GAHU and GAHU Drum Ensemble, local praise bands at his home church Zion Covenant and many others. He also has drummed as an accompanist for the Chautauqua Regional Youth Ballet, acts in Chautauqua’s Got Talent, and more. Furthermore, he has facilitated several hand drum workshops and classes in the greater Western New York area, with other performances spanning from Pennsylvania to Ohio to West Virginia. Tommy’s passion for drumming is great and he enjoys nothing more than to give back what he has learned in the world of drumming. He believes that music is an essential part of education, and also in a strong and proven drumming curriculum, where dedication, repetition, and having fun are the keys to success. Mike McGough - Drum Kit and Mallet Percussion Instructor Mike McGough has been teaching since majoring in Music Education from SUNY Fredonia in 2008. Mike
holds a Bachelor’s of Music in Music Education and a Master’s of Music in Music Theory and Composition. He has taught music previously at a variety of districts including Ripley, Brocton, Buffalo, East Syracuse and Marathon Central. Currently he teaches percussion, jazz band and music theory at Jamestown High School. He also is a composer and has written dozens of works for concert band and jazz band.

The Mission: To serve and protect our community through education, prevention, preparedness and response. In becoming a firefighter, you do more than just fight fires. Over the past several decades, the role of the local fire departments has changed drastically. Today, the fire departments provides a wide variety of services to the community it serves. These services include firefighting, emergency medical response, ambulance service, hazard material response, technical rescues, fire prevention seminars, and disaster preparedness services. In Chautauqua County and surrounding areas, the volunteer fire service today face significant challenges. The biggest challenge is to get young men and women to volunteer their services to the local fire department. The volunteer fire departments of Chautauqua County and surrounding areas are a long-standing tradition that encompasses family’s generation after generation. Unfortunately, it is also a tradition in danger of weakening. Many fire departments across the Nation and in Chautauqua County, are experiencing more difficulty with recruiting R and retaining members than ever before. Fire departments can no longer county on children of current firefighters following in their parents’ footsteps. Why; it is F f anybody’s guess. There is no single reason for the decline in volunteers in most departments. However, problems can be traced to, more demand’s on people’s time, training requirements, increased call volume, changes in the nature of the business and State and County regulations. Adding to the problem, firefighters cannot be active in the fire service due to their age. The senior firefighter relies on the younger generation to join the volunteer fire service, but that is not happening. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), there are close to 900,000 volunteer firefighters across the United States. The majority of the nation’s geographical area is protected by Volunteer Fire Departments. Firefighters, both paid and volunteer, are extremely dedicated to public service. This trait explains why firefighters often take tremendous risks to save lives of the citizens they are sworn to protect. The volunteer firefighter is a very rewarding and valuable way to serve your community. It takes dedication and many hours of training to become a volunteer firefighter. After all the training, there is nothing great – satisfaction wise – to see or feel than to actually help someone that is in need of the volunteer fireman’s help. As a volunteer firefighter, you could be that people helping out your neighbor, your relative, or someone you don’t even know. Many of those who volunteer for the fire department do so in order to improve their employability. A volunteer fire department will provide training at no cost. This training can be used to obtain a full-time position within the profession when the time arises. America’s volunteer fire service has faithfully served our nation for more than 300 years. Volunteer firefighters serve their communities with dedication and enthusiasm. Volunteer fire departments save local cities and towns many thousands of dollars a year and help the tax burden in the community they serve. Local fire departments, across Chautauqua County and surrounding areas, need young men and women to fill the ranks of the local fire departments. Stop in to your local fire station and tell the firemen there that you are interested in becoming a volunteer firefighter. Become a firefighter; you’ll be glad you did.

Keeping The Faith "Dear Pastor, My mom told me that “God trusted her with cancer.” Would He really do this? " Last week we began looking at the topic of healing and saw that even though many people may feel that God creates the sickness in our life, God defines Himself as a good and loving Father. And of course, if He only has good things ( James 1:17) then surely, cancer doesn’t qualify! So why would we believe that God would do this to us? Our emotions and thinking may seek to justify sickness as some kind of testing of our character or a “teaching opportunity” to make us more compassionate or wise. Or, I have even heard that it means God thinks we’re special or need to be stronger for the tasks ahead. While this sounds “religious”, it goes against the consistent Biblical truth about God’s self-defined character. If someone comes to me with this kind of thinking, I will simply ask them, “Would you treat your precious child this way?” God defines Himself
as a good God in John 10:11, “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.” Now THAT sounds like a loving God who would never hurt His children in order to “teach” them anything. So if God doesn’t bring sickness, where does it come from? It’s interesting to see that John 10:11 is preceded by John 10:10 which declares that, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it more abundantly.” This scripture declares that we have an evil enemy, Satan. His only purposes is to inflict evil upon God’s children. Jesus also goes on to declare that, in contrast, He has come to bring an abundant life to the world! So, is sickness or cancer abundant or life bringing? Or does it steal our health, peace, finances, and life? One of Satan’s best lies is to get us to believe that God is in charge and that everything comes from God and is part of His “plan”. Why would Satan do that? So that we don’t resist the sick-
family church F R E D O N I A
ness and even accept our “lot” in life. This also keeps us weak, vulnerable, and distracted from the victorious plan that God has for us. Rather than being useful for God’s purposes, we get “sidelined” and cut off from God’s blessings.

‘Send A Telegram To Santa’ Will Be Dec. 5 Contributed Article Telecommunications Museum
The 5th Annual Send a Telegram to Santa activity will be held on Saturday December 5 from 10:30-noon at the Telecommunications Museum of Fredonia 44 Temple St. Fredonia. For the last five years children in the local community have taken advantage of this wonderful opportunity to write a simple request and watch as it is telegraphed directly to the North Pole. What excitement there is when Santa sends back a telegram via the post office to say he had their message! This activity began in 2010 as part of the Fredonia Miracle on Main Street Christmas celebration. It continues to be part of the celebration as a different way for children to contact Santa with their wishes. The Telecommunications Museum of Fredonia has been part of the historical landscape of Fredonia for over 10 years. What began as a simple lobby display in the local Dunkirk-Fredonia Telephone Offices with the help of dedicated volunteers has been expanded into a five-room museum full of wonderful artifacts showing the progress of the Telecommunications field from invention of the telegraph, to Alexander Graham Bell’s first telephone right up to the modern day cell phone. Included in this display are artifacts from our own local telephone company, which began in a grocery story on Water Street and a very forward-thinking proprietor, Arthur Maytum. Follow the growth of this new industry from candlestick phones and local operators (who knew everything about the local community) to self dialing phones, push button phones, phones with multiple lines and pay phones, etc. Marvel at all the skills needed by the workers to climb poles, melt iron, repair broken wires-know how to find just one wire amongst hundreds that needed repair...until now when there are thousands of lines on fiber optical equipment taking up virtually no space at all. Look through old telephone books and find Grandmas number and address, read the rules of polite usage of a ‘party line’, sigh at the cost of a call to far away Jamestown. Free tours will be given during the Telegram event and we encourage all who have not yet explored this museum to take advantage of the opportunity. Cider and a cookie are available to all who come through the doors. We are most fortunate that Santa usually arrives at the Museum first before going on to the other activities that are part of the Miracle on Main St. event.

Winter Lights At Nature Center Launching Dec. 10 Contributed Article Audubon Nature Center
With 14 lasers and more than 10,000 LED lights along a luminary-lit trail, Winter Lights at the Nature Center is a spectacular show. But what makes this merger of nature with cutting edge technology unique is that YOU get to control your experience. Beginning December 10 and running the last three weekends in December, you can play a drum to change the display of lights, play search-and-find with a flashlight that causes animals to light up and make noise, and roll the earth through the seasons. This all happens at the Audubon Nature Center in Jamestown, New York. Visitors can expect to walk about a half mile on a paved and ice-free trail, stopping to control lights, warm up at the fire at the halfway point, and gasp at the finale at the Blue Heron Overlook. Along with hot chocolate and snacks for sale inside, indoor activities demonstrate the amazing technology behind the light show.

Fredonia Awarded Buildsmart, NY Grants To Improve Energy Efficiency Contributed Article Fredonia
Three grants totaling just over $350,000 have been awarded to the State University of New York at Fredonia to improve overall energy efficiency through “BuildSmart NY,” Governor Andrew Cuomo’s plan to reduce energy use in state buildings by 20 percent by 2020. Fredonia was one of 11 SUNY campuses and SUNY System Administration that will share in $2.7 million awarded through the New York Power Authority’s firstever Operation and Maintenance Acceleration Program (OMAP) grant competition. Created by the authority, the competition is an extension of BuildSmart NY and was designed to stimulate and accelerate operations, maintenance and minor rehabilitation projects at state facilities. “SUNY’s building portfolio represents 40 percent of all state-owned facilities, and we committed to maintaining a highly energy-efficient and sustainable infrastructure,” said SUNY Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher. “SUNY is proud to take on a leading role in Governor Cuomo’s BuildSmart initiative, which aligns closely with a major tenet of our own strategic plan to reduce our carbon footprint as we contribute to an Energy Smart New York.” According to Gabriel Cowles, BuildSmart NY program manager, Fredonia’s projects were rated highly based on the OMAP Grant Competition evaluation criteria, and deemed worthy grant recipients. Grant applications were prepared by Kevin Cloos, director of Facilities Services, who will manage the three projects. Fredonia’s largest single allocation, $250,000, will be leveraged with $130,510 in SUFC Critical Maintenance Funding for a comprehensive HVAC Retro-Commissioning project to undertake operational and maintenance improvements that optimize the performance of subsystems in 22 of its larger buildings. Carrying an estimated cost of just over $380,500, these improvements were identified in a 2013 New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) FlexTech Benchmarking Operational and Maintenance study. Twelve residence halls as well as University Commons, Williams Center, Steele
Hall and the Natatorium, the Services Complex, Thompson Hall, and Mason Hall and its addition will be included. With an annual cost savings for natural gas and electricity estimated at nearly $125,000, the payback period for these improvements is projected at 3.1 years. Construction will take approximately three months for hard installations, with retro-commissioning to be conducted during all four seasons to ensure all project systems run properly. Fredonia’s BuildSmart NY grant will fully fund $75,000 needed to expand preventative maintenance that maximizes the life cycles of campus facilities and equipment through a customized routine maintenance schedule. The project will result in lower energy use and overall life cycle costs of operation as well as improved performance and reliability. Systems and equipment maintained properly with scheduled filter changes, tuning and programming are proven to reduce energy consumption and save money. A consultant will develop an assessment and implementation plan that encompasses a review of existing systems as well as equipment maintenance recommendations of the manufacturers. The BuildSmart NY grant will also provide $30,000 to Fredonia to expand the operational reliability of its systems, reduce operating expenses and extend asset life through the hiring of an outside contractor with technical expertise for HVAC maintenance and filter changing. Fredonia will use cost savings generated by all three BuildSmart NY projects to fund additional energy savings projects or operational improvements to further reduce overall energy use on campus.

Spinning At The Library Contributed Article JS Sipos
Recently at the Lakewood Library, a group of hand spinners gathered to demonstrate the ancient art of spinning fibers to make yarn. Spinning has been used for centuries, as people needed yarn to weave into cloth, and then make their clothes. It is the twist of the fibers which gives the yarn strength, and there are many kinds of spinning mechanisms. Shown in the photograph are Tammy TenPas using a compact spinning wheel, and Sally Fahy using a drop spindle, which is a portable spinning wheel. Spinning wheels are constructed in many different sizes, and there is a kind where the person has to stand next to it, known as the walking wheel. Small spinning wheels were used on ships to make sails and repair sails, and did not take up much room. The next spinning demonstration will take place on the last Tuesday of December in the library from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. The public is welcome.

Christmas Concert To Feature A Cappella Classics Contributed Article Fredonia
Rockefeller Arts Center presents one of the world’s best jazz-pop a cappella groups for its annual Christmas pops concert. “White Christmas with M-Pact” continues the DFT Communications Pops Series on Saturday, Dec. 12 at 7:30 p.m. in King Concert Hall at The State University of New York at Fredonia. This holiday showcase will feature favorites like “Do You Hear What I Hear,” “Away in a Manger,” “O Come, O Come Emmanuel” and many more. M-Pact is respected worldwide as a cutting edge trailblazer in the realm of vocal music. This six-member ensemble captures the smooth soul of Stevie Wonder, the percussive power of Stomp, the funk and drive of Earth, Wind, & Fire, the hip licks of Take 6 and the brass bite of the Harry Connick Jr. Big Band using nothing but the human voice. Touring fine arts halls and jazz festivals across four continents, M-Pact has performed with pop superstars Sheryl Crow, Boyz II Men, Natasha Bedingfield and Ray Charles to name a few; as well as with jazz legends Natalie Cole, Bobby McFerrin, the Woody Herman Orchestra, the Maynard Ferguson Big Band and many others. Over the last two decades, their signature sound has been used in both TV themes and animated Disney feature films and is enjoyed on jazz and pop radio worldwide. The Los Angeles-based group has been hailed as “one of the best pop-jazz vocal groups in the world” by the San Francisco Chronicle. From the beginning 20 years ago, the group has been “true to music, regardless of style or genre.” As a result, their sophisticated sound and accessible appeal have garnered vast accolades, from Vocal Group of the Year (the LA Music Awards), an Indie nomination (the Independent Grammy) and Artist of the Year (Seattle Music Awards), to Grand National champions of the Harmony Sweepstakes competition. Around the globe, audiences are mesmerized by the thrill of M-Pact’s vocal acrobatics, innovative orchestrations and commanding yet authentic stage presence. M-Pact’s studio recordings (five full-length albums, two EPs, and several singles) have received rave reviews and multiple awards, including Best Jazz Album, Best Pop/R&B Song, Best Male Vocalist, and Best Vocal Arrangement (the CARA Awards), Best Seasonal Album (“Indie” awards) and Best Unsigned Band (Billboard Magazine).
M-Pact will offer a cappella versions of classic holiday songs when Rockefeller Arts Center presents “White Christmas with M-Pact” on Saturday, Dec. 12 at 7:30 p.m. in King Concert Hall at The State University of New York at Fredonia.
M-Pact recordings are also frequently selected for inclusion on compilations and “best-of” collections. In 2014, M-Pact joined forces with New York a cappella powerhouse Duwende to produce “I Wish For All Time,” an a cappella tribute to the music of Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson, which they have performed in sold-out theaters across the United States. The group’s multiple fine arts showcases resulted in their being one of the mostrequested acts of the year and the buzz following their performance at the inaugural A Cappella Academy (alongside Pentatonix, The Filharmonic and other a cappella luminaries) left no doubt that M-Pact’s music will continue to reach the ears of new fans around the world for many years to come. “White Christmas with M-Pact” is sponsored by Bahgat - Laurito-Bahgat, CPAs as part of the Lake Shore Savings Season.

What Momma Never Told You
By Brad Jarrett Contributing Writer
Discipline is interesting. We become inundated with the concept as children; all too often with a negative connotation. If you skip chores you’re disciplined, if you start a food fight during dinner you’re disciplined, if you make a farting
noise in public…I think you get the idea. To a child discipline can mean a number of things, but I assure you, none of them are pleasant. In my experience it refers to scolding, spanking, or grounding; to be honest, I try and keep my distance from all three. We’ve been conditioned to see half of the picture, focusing intently on the negative. But, when we open our eyes, we see a whole new side of discipline. And it’s good! I define it as the ability to resist temptation. Being such, it helps us accomplish goals, live life in a productive manner, and obtain the thing we are all searching for…Happiness. There are many forms of discipline, but for the purposes of this article we will narrow in on four categories. •Discipline of the Body- This
comes through physical exercise. I’ve heard it said “I buffet my body, and make it my slave”. This is a command to follow! We must become the master of our physical body; meaning we are in command. Once control is ours, the ability to become stronger, push through plateaus in the gym, and keep moving even when it’s uncomfortable will become second nature. You will then OWN your physical fitness. •Discipline of the mind- In my opinion, this is one of the hardest things to master. The mind is complex; any man able to tame it has certainly found his way to success. We discipline the mind through habit formation; whether it’s nutritional change, or the end of your smoking career, habits are necessary to create successful long term transformation.
•Discipline of emotion- Comes after you’ve been knocked down in life. When you’ve gone from the beauty of a mountain top into the low of the valley. Whether it’s a failed diet, or a lost job, the discipline of emotion is needed to stand back up. As Steven Covey says, humans are given the ability to determine their reaction to all circumstances. It is only through the discipline of emotion that we are able to choose the correct responses no matter the situation. And don’t forget, character is formed as you walk through the valley. •Discipline of the Spirit- Truly one of the most fundamental concepts of our existence; this discipline trumps all others. There are three tiers within the broader spectrum of spiritual discipline: Faith in self, Faith in others, Faith in the future
•Faith in self springs forth from the ability to see the infinite potential lying within you. It is the belief you’re able to accomplish the things you were placed on this earth to do. If you just started thinking “That is a bunch of motivational mumbo jumbo” I can confidently say; you’re lacking faith in self. •Faith in others piggy backs off faith in self. If you are not able to see the potential lying in you, how do you expect to see it in others? A very wise man once said, “Love your neighbor as you love yourself”, but if I am unable to love myself, its certain I am unable to love my neighbor. Faith in others requires discipline because it demands love. In order to have faith, I must trust, if I am to trust, I must first love. And CONTINUED ON PAGE 21

Chautauqua County Home Care Association Holds Annual Dinner Contributed Article Chautauqua County Home
To celebrate National Home Care Month, the Chautauqua County Home Care Association and honored employees and guests recently gathered at the Clarion Hotel & Conference Center in Dunkirk for their annual dinner and employee recognition. The County Home Care Association is a coalition made up of the county’s home care agencies: Accredited Care, Aftercare, Chautauqua Opportunities, Caregivers, Hospice, New Visions, Lake Shore Long Term Program, Venture Forth, as well as the Department of Social Services CASA unit and the Office for the Aging. As a group that holds monthly meetings, the members work to improve recruitment and retention of health care workers, share ideas and network with one another to make improvements in the delivery of home health care. The annual dinner provides special recognition to employees throughout the county for their exemplary service to the agencies and their patients. The group of local agencies work collaboratively with the county Department of Social Services and the Office for the Aging to provide the home care services to those individuals in need throughout the county. Home Care has proven to be an especially effective and economical ways to meet the health care needs of many individuals. Members are available to speak to groups and share information about home care and services that available. The association also presents two
scholarships each year to potential nursing school graduates from JCC. The evening was highlighted by keynote speaker Ann Abdella, Executive Director of the Chautauqua County Health Network. The presentation of the Annual Service Award followed. Laurie Mead, President of the Association made the presentation. The Service Award is given to someone whose hard work, special efforts and creative ideas have improved the delivery of home care and health care services. This year the award was posthumously presented to Caregivers, in honor of Patricia Pitts, RN and Manager, for the many years of hard work, dedication, enthusiasm and compassion for home care at all levels. She is truly missed in this group. For those agencies that participated in the annual event this year, an “Employee of the Year” is identified by each provider. The employee is then honored at the dinner and receives a certificate for outstanding service from each of their respective agencies, as well as from Senator Catherine Young’s office: Accredited Care—Brenda Whitford HHA Aftercare—Trudi Starks LPN and Dorothy Painter PCA Caregivers—Samara Wells PCA Chautauqua Opportunities, Inc.—Noreen Stachowiak HHA Hospice—Karen Smoczynski HHA and Bethanie Milner-Boyer RNCM Lakeshore LTHHCP—Kathy Strawser RNCM New Visions, Inc—Lynette Seekings PCA Venture Forthe—Michelle Newman RN and Stephanie Black PCA

CHAUTAUQUA LAKE GIRLS SWIM TEAM SHINES AT SECTIONALS By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
Midway through the Chautauqua Lake girls swimming and diving season, the Lady Thunderbirds were disappointed with their times and scores. After a promising finish to the 2014 season, the athletes simply weren’t living up to their own expectations. Fastforward to the NYS Section VI Championship Meet and suddenly the school needs to update its record board. Chautauqua Lake’s 400 meter freestyle relay team of Sara Godfrey, Grace Bukowski, Jenna Weimer and Kendra Keyser just barely even qualified for the Sectional meet with a time of 4:22. The qualifying time was 4:24. Then on the biggest of stages, the quartet preceded to smash their own team best by posting a school record 4:07. “They peaked at the right moment,” head coach Paula Kaus said. “Some of them were not representing what we knew they could do until that last week. They really picked it up at Counties and then were at their best at Sectionals.” It wasn’t just the one record that fell, either. Keyser broke her own record from last season in the grueling 500 meter freestyle. It was another case of Keyser bringing her best effort at the end of the season. “I’ve been swimming since I was seven years old,” Keyser noted. “My coach in Jamestown always made us swim everything. If you swim distance, you have to know that you’re going to have to sprint, too. You have to practice and get your muscles used to both sprinting and distance. “About halfway through the season, I didn’t think I was going get the record,”

Keyser admitted. “I just wasn’t performing how I wanted to. At Sectionals I really went hard and I got it.” The relay record surely looked to be safe early in the season when star senior Weimer was on the bench with a torn ACL. “It was June 19th and I was playing powderpuff for a fundraiser for our school,” Weimer shared. “I got him from the side and my knee hyperextended. I didn’t know it then, but I tore my ACL. My surgeon said it was going to be a long recovery. Usually it takes six to nine months for a full recovery.
“I just really kept up with my PT work,” she continued. “My doctor said he really doubted that I would swim this season. I needed to swim my senior year. I kept up a positive attitude and did whatever the doctor told me to.” “I felt awful for her,” Kaus said of Weimer. “It was upsetting, but she took it a lot better than I did. She qualified for Sectionals in seven events last year. I was hoping this year would be bigger and better. In some ways, it still was.” The Chautauqua Lake team received a major boost of talent this season as CONTINUED ON PG 25

CHAUTAUQUA LAKE SWIMMING RECORDS, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 24 the athletes from Maple Grove and Westfield combined with the Lady Thunderbirds. With all of the new faces, teambuilding exercises were an important part of practice. “We did a lot of bonding in practice,” Weimer said. “We gained 25-30 new girls so just learning everyone’s names wasn’t easy. We played little games about getting to know each other’s favorite songs or dance moves or other random stuff.” “One of our juniors, Renee Lachajczyk, had a team bonfire for all the new girls that were coming onto the team,” Weimer continued. “We just played games, hung around the bonfire and eat ice cream and pizza. It was just a fun time to get to know everyone.” The team hosted a Swim-a-Thon in the spring to raise money for a touchpad timing system for the school’s pool. The event raised nearly $2,900, which combined with the Thunderbird Athletic Club and the school itself, was enough to purchase the much-needed upgrade to the pool. “We were the only school in the county that did not have the touchpad
timing system,” Kaus noted. “We had to have a lot of people on deck with four people for each lane timing. It was something that we desperately needed. “The event was arranged by Doris Godfrey, our assistant coach,” Kaus continued. “Even some girls that were in sixth grade that planned on being on the team got to do the fundraiser. It was a great event.” “The Swim-a-Than was another big team bonding experience, especially for the younger girls,” Keyser added. “When you’re a seventh grader, you can come in and feel like you’re not a part of the team. That experience helped them realize that they’re part of the team and they’re important.” In addition to the record-breaking relay and Keyser’s performance in the 500, the Lady Thunderbirds had plenty of other successes in the Sectional meet. Renee Lachajczyk qualified and swam in the 200 relay. Kristen Akin was on the team’s medley relay. Sydney Lachajczyk competed in the diving event.
Godfrey, in addition to getting her name on the record board with the relay, finished second in the class for diving. “It was her first year doing new dives,” Kaus pointed out. “She made it to the end of all three rounds. That’s a huge accomplishment for her. She does diving and sprinting. That’s hard to do.” “It’s hard,” Godfrey admitted. “I’ll normally swim the first half of practice then I’ll dive for an hour and finish with block work. It’s hard to transition sometimes, but it’s worked well.” For Bukowski, Akin and Sydeny Lachajczyk, it was their first trip to Sectionals — an experience that Kaus knows will aid them in the future. “There’s a lot of really good swimmers there,” she said. “Gracie really soaked it all in. We had a very young team this year. We’ll see where we can go.” Godfrey (sophomore), Bukowski (freshman) and Keyser (freshman), along with a vast majority of the
team, will all return next season with the goal of even further lowering some of those times on the record board. “There are a lot of teams around us going to States,” Kaus said. “We don’t have that goal, yet. We’re looking to break records and qualify for Sectionals. I’m okay with that. The girls all know that. We want you to do your best and hopefully we’ll go to States some day.” Yes, the future certainly looks bright for the Chautauqua Lake Lady Thunderbirds. “It was a very special season,” assistant coach Doris Godfrey concluded. “I’m extremely proud of the entire Chautauqua Lake swim team. We have a very young, energetic team. As a coach, it’s very exciting to see the athletics develop the skills and drop times. I anticipate a bright future for these athletes and for the team as a whole.” Stefan Gestwicki is the sports editor of the Chautauqua Star.

He has seven sacks to lead the team. Lavonte Davis has once again been a tackling machine, leading the team with 94 tackles. It’s possible Devonta Freeman returns. If so, Atlanta should win this game. PICK VS. SPREAD: Falcons (+1). STRAIGHT PICK: Falcons.
SEATTLE SEAHAWKS (6-5) at MINNESOTA VIKINGS (8-3) This is a huge NFC game. The Seahawks can probably give up on the NFC West title, but they’re very much alive for a wild card spot. This is a team that no one wants to make the playoffs. Seattle has been in back-toback Super Bowls for a reason. Russell Wilson has been red hot. In his past two games, Wilson has eight touchdowns and zero interceptions. If Wilson continues to play like this, there’s no reason that Seattle can’t make a third straight Super Bowl. The Vikings were given a gift when Chicago knocked off Green Bay last week. Minnesota followed by taking care of business against a sloppy Atlanta team. This week’s test will be far tougher. Adrian Peterson passed O.J. Simpson on the all-time rushing yardage list. AP is on pace for nearly 1,700 rushing yards and could reach 100 career rushing touchdowns this season. He’s gone over 100 yards in four of his last five games. There’s no reason to think he won’t be getting the ball over and over again in this one, even against a tough defense. Seattle has looked very good lately. Minnesota has been winning, but CONTINUED ON PG 27

It’s a regular season, 1 p.m. game, too, so the Bengals should have nothing to worry about. The Bengals could actually
clinch the AFC North this week, so the incentive to pummel to lowly Browns is certainly there. Reggie Nelson leads all of the NFL with his six interceptions. In fact, the Bengals have just two games without recording a pick this season. Against a team that just lost it’s starting quarterback for the season, expect turnovers. As mentioned above, the Browns just lost starting quarterback Josh McCown for the season with a broken collarbone. Taking his place will probably be Austin Davis, not Johnny Manziel. Yes, Austin Davis. You might remember Davis from his 2014 run as the Rams’ starting quarterback. No, you wouldn’t. It was the least memorable run by a starting quarterback since…any Browns quarterback since Bernie Kosar. There’s just not much to say about the Browns. They’re just really bad.

Unfortunately, this game is on the road, where JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS (4-7) the 49ers are 0-5 on the season. Blaine Gabbert is just a terrible quarterback. He’ll be out of the league by next year, or at least we can hope. No team has scored fewer than San Fran’s 13 points per game. It’s been even worse in the past five games, where the 49ers have scored a combined 52 points, or just over 10 points per game.

Chautauqua Striders’ Winter 5K Series Begins Jan. 2 Contributed Article Chautauqua Striders
The 2016 Chautauqua Striders Winter 5K Series is scheduled to begin on Saturday, Jan. 2. The series is a handicap “age-graded” race series. Agegrading levels the playing field for all runners and provides each runner with the percentage value of an “ideal” or best time for his or her age and sex. There are five races in the series. The races will take place at 10:00 a.m. in Lakewood, NY on the following Saturdays: Jan. 2; Jan. 9; Jan. 23; Jan. 30; and Feb 13. All series participants will receive a 2016 family membership to the Chautauqua Striders Athletic Club and a discount card good for 25 percent off running & walking footwear and apparel at the Jamestown Cycle Shop. The first 100 registrants will receive a pair of running gloves. The top point accumulators after the final race will each receive a Jamestown Cycle Shop gift card. Also, participants will be entered in a drawing to receive Wing City Grille gift cards after each race. The series entry fee is $60 if received by Dec. 18 ($70 if received thereafter) resulting in an average cost of only $12 per race. Any series participant who is an immediate family member of another participant can participate in the series for only $20 if received by Dec. 18 ($25 if received thereafter). Runners also have the option of registering for individual races rather than the entire series at $20 per race. Series sponsors include Wing City Grille, the Jamestown Cycle Shop, the Lakewood Rod & Gun Club, and Michael Engdahl, JD, MS, CFP® - “feeonly” financial planner. Proceeds from the series benefit Chautauqua Striders youth track and field programs.

Red Wings beat Sabres 5-4 in SO By Larry Lage AP Hockey Writer
DETROIT (AP) -- The Detroit Red Wings followed their recent trend of giving up game-tying goals in the third period. They gave up another goal, too, to fall behind before rallying to extend the game and eventually win it. Brad Richards scored on Detroit's third attempt in a shootout and Jack Eichel missed the net on the ensuing chance, as the Red Wings beat the Buffalo Sabres 5-4 on Tuesday night. Justin Abdelkader's second goal with 6:29 to go in regulation pulled the Red Wings into a 4-all tie after they blew a pair of two-goal leads and a one-goal advantage in the third. ''That was a wild game for sure,'' Abdelkader said. ''I thought we dominated and had some good chances there throughout the game. Obviously, we gave a little too much defensively.'' The Red Wings gave up a game-tying score in the third period for the fifth straight game, then needed Abdelkader's goal to avoid losing in regulation. ''I thought it was a big character period,'' said Detroit's Drew Miller, who scored his first goal of the season. ''We kind of gave away a couple games here in the past. To get that one back was big for us.'' Evander Kane had his second goal in the opening minute of the third and Zach Bogosian had a go-ahead score 1:29 later for the Sabres, whose up-tem-

po game gave Detroit problems. ''When you're down 2-0, you have to go after it,'' Buffalo coach Dan Bylsma said. ''And, I think you saw that in how the game was played up and down the ice. We had to fight back.'' Linus Ullmark made 42 saves for the Sabres. Detroit's Petr Mrazek stopped 28 shots. Each goaltender stopped the first two shots he faced in the shootout before Richards scored and Eichel missed. Buffalo had a 4-on-3 power play midway through the five-minute overtime after Gustav Nyquist was called for tripping. Kane was inches away from taking advantage, but his shot hit the left post. ''We did fight, but we didn't get it
done,'' Kane said. The Red Wings have an eight-game point streak, their longest since going 12 straight games with a point in 2010. Buffalo hasn't won in Detroit since 2006. The game featured two of the NHL's top rookies, Eichel and Detroit's Dylan Larkin. They were teammates for USA Hockey's national team development program during from 2012 to 2014. ''We won a (under-18) world championship together,'' Larkin said. ''I'd say we're pretty close.'' Detroit dominated early, scoring on Tomas Tatar's backhander 1:34 into the game, and outshooting Buffalo 5-0. The Sabres responded with a flurry of shots, but Mrazek made six saves in
about a minute to keep the Red Wings ahead. The Red Wings went ahead 2-0 midway through the first when Jonathan Ericsson's fluttering shot appeared to go off Abdelkader's right shoulder and left arm and over Ullmark. ''We weren't ready to play,'' said Buffalo defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen, who matched his career high with three assists. Kane scored his first of two goals matching the number he had in his first 14 games this season - late in the first period. With speed and strength, Bylsma said Kane was ''dominant in a couple areas,'' against the Red Wings. Miller's first goal of the season early in the second restored Detroit's two-goal lead. ''It's nice to get the first one out of the way - finally,'' Miller said. Buffalo's Zemgus Girgensons cut the deficit to a goal late in the second. NOTES: Tatar had five goals and three assists in the previous nine games. ... Buffalo scratched D Mike Weber, who has missed 11 straight games with a knee injury. ... Abdelkader and Josh Gorges dropped their gloves and fought late in the second period. ... Richards had a team-low 13 shifts and team-low 10-plus minutes of ice time.

Murray: Drop In NHL Goal-Scoring A Media-Driven Concern By John Wawrow AP Hockey Writer
Goal-scoring is slipping once again in the NHL, and yet Tim Murray thinks that's not as big a concern as some might suggest. ''Just to the press. To me, it's not,'' the Buffalo Sabres' general manager said, before turning the question back on the reporter who asked it. ''I don't think it's GM-driven, so I guess I should ask you that question rather than you ask me. Why is it media-driven?'' Perhaps the ever-blunt and always quotable Murray has a point. Then again, so do the numbers, which show the downward trend in goal-scoring hasn't abated since the NHL instituted rules to eliminate obstruction following the 2004-05 lockout. Entering games Tuesday, teams had combined to score an average of 5.26 goals per game, according to STATS. That's the lowest total through essentially the same span of games in 11 years. And it's nearly an entire goal below the 6.23-goals-pergame pace established through the first 359 games of the 2005-06 season. Questions are once again being raised as to whether the league should tinker with its rules, the size of its nets and goalie equipment - or all of the above. ''I certainly am not for bigger nets. Get the goalie equipment right, but how much scoring was there this week?'' Murray said on Nov. 23, two days after five out of 11 games ended in a shutout. Murray countered by noting two games ended 4-0, while the Lightning blanked Anaheim 5-0. ''I don't think we should punish teams that can score five goals because the team they played against can't score,'' he said. Red Wings GM Ken Holland said the decline in scoring is tied to an uptick in competitive balance. ''The league has tried to do a lot of things over the last 10 years to create offense,'' Holland said. ''I'm not sure it has worked. But I don't think the game has ever been better.'' Murray agrees, saying there's more flow now without the clutching and grabbing that was allowed before the lockout. The difference is how coaches have adapted. Rather than interfere with onrushing players, defenders are now coached to ''shadow'' them. That forces the onrushing player to go around the defender. ''Our coaches have to come up with offensive schemes to match defensive schemes,'' Murray said. ''And obviously, it's easier to coach defense than it is to coach offense. So we're not there yet.'' INSIDE THE NUMBERS: It's been more than

Maturity Helps Kyle Busch Win First Cup Title By Jenna Fryer AP Auto Racing Writer
HOMESTEAD, Fla. (AP) -- There was a time early in Kyle Busch's career that his talent could not save his job. Wrecked race cars and temper tantrums helped wear out his welcome with Rick Hendrick, who let Busch go knowing the young driver would probably beat Hendrick Motorsports in a championship battle down the road. That's exactly what happened, too, as Busch finally won his first Sprint Cup title on Sunday. He won the season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway to lock up the crown and deny former Hendrick teammate Jeff Gordon a fifth title in the final race of his career. The title-winning drive also dethroned reigning champion Kevin Harvick and stopped Martin Truex Jr. from winning his first Cup title in a four-man race to the trophy. It came in the most turbulent season of Busch's career, and showed just how much he's matured since Hendrick let him go eight years ago. Busch was in a horrible accident in February when he crashed into a concrete wall at Daytona and broke his right leg and left foot. It happened the day before the Daytona 500 and put both his season and his career in jeopardy. But he worked harder than he's ever worked in his life at anything to recover, and he was back in the race car a mere three months later. NASCAR gave him a waiver to race in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship should he qualify, and Busch made it his mission to earn one of the coveted playoff positions. In the days after his return to racing, Busch turned 30 and celebrated the birth of his son. During the 11 races he missed, he'd spent time with his wife and developed a perspective on life that he'd never had before. His rivals saw the difference in him on the track. ''I see a changed Kyle,'' Gordon said. ''When he came back, not only was he driven and just inspired by it, but you can tell he was racing smarter, with more patience, just being more deliberate. Between having a baby, the thing that happened to him at Daytona, the time with his wife ... he had a lot of time to think about a lot of things, and I don't know what he did, but he came out of it even better than he was before. ''I think he showed it right away when he came back that there was a pretty good chance he was destined to win this championship.'' Indeed, Busch won in his sixth race back, on the road course at Sonoma, a week after he finished last at Michigan. He crashed two cars in his first five races back as he pushed too hard to try to earn a spot in the Chase. It was after that last-place finish at Michigan that he

recognized he had to be a more patient driver if he had any shot at all at making the playoffs. ''When we went and finished 43rd at Michigan, that's when I was just like, 'All right, forget it. Just race the race car. Don't worry about running up front and winning and being fast. Just let it come to you,''' Busch said. ''And I played the whole rest of the season that way all the way to the end - just let everything be. Whatever it was going to be, it was going to be.'' Busch was never capable of thinking like that during the early part of his career and it hurt him down the stretch every season. When Hendrick let him go, he moved to Joe Gibbs Racing and drove hell-bent on making Hendrick regret his decision. Busch won eight races that year, but faltered down the stretch and finished 10th in the 2008 Chase. There were four wins the next year, but a 13th-place finish in the final standings. A three-win season in 2010 still only got him to eighth in points, and on and on the cycle went as Busch just couldn't race smart or safe enough in the Chase. Before Sunday's season finale, he'd never even won a race in the Chase and he'd never remained in title contention down the final stretch. But after winning at Sonoma, he recognized his new strategy might be the right one and Busch reeled off four wins in five weeks. He earned his spot in the Chase and then raced fairly error-free to make it into the final four. Busch didn't relentlessly chase victories in this year's Chase; he just tried to be steady to put himself in a
position to race for the title. Harvick, who overcame his own self-inflicted issues to win his first title a year ago, lauded the improvements in Busch. It's high praise coming from Harvick, who has sparred with Busch repeatedly throughout his career. Harvick mellowed after he had a child, and he thinks the birth of Busch's son six months ago played a huge role in him winning a championship. ''I think you see that little guy that he holds in his arms, it puts things in a different perspective,'' he said. ''It used to be you didn't want to have kids because it took the fire out of you from driving the car, and now it seems to have calmed a lot of us down to the point where we can focus and do the things that we need to do to concentrate on our jobs. He's overcome a lot, but man, he's still pretty young.''
