Pumpkin Treats

Last week was exclusively pumpkin goodies, and this week (somewhat) follows suit. Although these treats are not actually pumpkin flavored, but rather pumpkin themed. If you are looking for something cute and easy to make for kiddos, any of these ideas would be perfect! Mandarin Pumpkins This idea is seriously the easiest of all. No really, unless you don't know how to use a permanent marker, it can't get any easier than this.

However, if you opt for non-colored chocolate, you can always save it for the next time you need chocolate, instead of the next time you need orange chocolate, which probably won't be as soon. Dip the marshmallows in the chocolate, Krispie Pumpkins, photo courtesy and decorate. You can draw small Jackof food.com o-lantern faces on them, or just put sprinkles on. Bonus, they're healthy!

Church Signs Resolution To Support Gambling Free Youth And Family Events Contributed Article CASAC

In February of this year, Chautauqua Alcoholism & Substance Abuse Council (CASAC) received funding from the New York Council on Problem Gambling to participate in YOU(th) Decide project to work to prevent underage gambling in Chautauqua County. With these funds, agency staff have been raising awareness among youth, parents and community leaders through faceto-face presentations, outreach, and media; and decreasing youth access to gambling through capacity building and policy work. CASAC would like to recognize Iglesia Getsemani, A.G. for signing a resolution in support of our underage gambling prevention efforts. CASAC presented an award of appreciation to Pastor Carlos Llerra from Iglesia Getsemani, A.G. in Dunkirk on October

23rd, 2015. Pastor Carlos Llerra signed a resolution supporting the concept of gambling-free youth and family events in effort to protect the youth of our community on September 3. This resolution would not have been possible without the help from two middle school students, Carla Rosa and Yadieliz Rodriguez. Carla and Yadieliz attended an Underage Gambling Prevention Student Advocacy Training back in August. During this training both students were educated on how serious and devastating underage gambling can be on youth as well as his/her family and friends. Risks include: Delinquency and crime, damaged relationships, poor academic performance, increased likelihood of developing mental health issues including depression and alcohol/substance abuse disorders, attempted suicide, and overall poor general health We would like to thank everyone who supported the 2015 YOU(th) Decide

project and helped CASAC to bring awareness to the dangers associated with underage gambling, and to decrease youth access to gambling. If you or your child would like to learn more about YOU(th) Decide, please contact Melanie Witkowski at 366-4623.

CASAC is a United Way partner agency. The New York Council on Problem Gambling is a not-for-profit independent corporation dedicated to increasing public awareness about problem and compulsive gambling and advocating for support services and treatment for persons adversely affected by gambling.

Ulrich Planfiling Donates Light A Life Ornaments for Hospice Memorial Trees Contributed Article Hospice Chautauqua County

Ulrich Planfiling, a local manufacturer, has announced it will donate 1,000 star ornaments for Hospice Chautauqua County’s Light A Life Memorial Trees display. The shining stainless steel stars will be hung on the blue spruce trees in front of the Hospice office, each one displayed in the memory of someone’s loved one. Now in its eleventh year, the Light A Life remembrance is offered as a tribute for area residents to remember loved ones who are no longer with us. Ulrich Planfiling’s donation will allow Hospice to use beautiful alternative lighting that will reflect the stainless steel stars. “We looked far and wide without success to find the right ornaments for our Memorial Trees,” said Ron Sellers, President and CEO of Hospice Chautauqua County. “So, we approached

Ulrich Planfiling and we were overwhelmed with the beautiful ornaments they designed (as well as) their offer to donate them. We are so fortunate to have made contact with Ulrich Planfiling, and designate them as sponsors of Light A Life for their generosity.” The three-dimensional stainless steel stars will replace red bows used on the Memorial Trees in previous years. “Hospice provides a truly valuable service to our community and what better time than the Christmas Season to pause and reflect on how many individuals and families have been helped over the years and continue to be helped today,” said Dan Berry, President of Ulrich Planfiling. “We are honored to be involved with Hospice.” The decorations, lighting improvements and light towers will make the Hospice gardens a place where residents can come to meditate and reflect. “We have been staging improvements to the Light

This year, we are enhancing the tree decorations, as well as beginning the remembrance of (an) ecumenical service at the Gloria Dei Lutheran Church before the tree lighting ceremony.” All area residents are encouraged to remember their loved ones in the Light A Life Memorial. Decorative porcelain ornaments may be purchased for $25 and $50. In addition to the decorative ornament, a star will also be hung on the Hospice Memorial Trees in memory of a loved one. Also, just a star may be reserved and hung for $10. All memorialized names are printed in the Memorial Program and on the Memorial Light Towers.

The Weekly Word GOD THE GIVER

Rev. Timothy Stahlman Family Church Jamestown fcjamestown.org

You cannot and will not put your faith in God until you are convinced of the goodness of His character. Here is the

key to powerful faith: You must believe that God is always and only filled with good intentions towards you. He is never the author of destruction or hurt. He never desires pain or suffering for you. His will for your life is only good. James 1:5 in the Amplified Bible paints a wonderful picture of God's intentions towards us. It says, "If any of you is deficient in wisdom let him ask of the giving God, WHO GIVES TO EVERYONE LIBERALLY and UNGRUDGINGLY, without reproaching or FAULTFINDING, and it will be given them." Here in the middle of instructing us

how to receive wisdom, we are told much about God's attitude towards us. There are 5 things in this verse that we learn about God's personal character. First, God is a giver as opposed to a thief. In John 10:10, Jesus said, "The thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy BUT I HAVE COME TO GIVE you life and to give it more ABUNDANTLY." If your health is failing it is not because God took it. If you are facing financial hardship it is not because God took your money. Jesus distinguished Himself from the thief. The devil steals and produces destruction; God is the

One who redeems us from destruction. (Psalm 103:4) Second, God not only gives but He gives to EVERYONE liberally. That means that God gives bountifully. You must know this about God's character: He wants to give you more than you are probably willing to believe for. Oh how often we think so small when we think of God's hand! I've heard Christians say, "I just wish God would help me pay my bills on times just this once." There's a problem with saying that. God's character is to give big and

He wants us to believe big. I believe God will not only help you pay your bills but He will help you pay them off! When we think small we are thinking small of His ability. What would happen if we believed that God is really as big as He says He is? Thirdly it says that God gives ungrudgingly. That means He enjoys giving to you! He doesn't regret blessing you. He wants you to receive more than you do. His love is just that good towards us. Next, God doesn't reproach you for having something good.

That means you don't have to feel shamed for being blessed by God. The world criticizes people when they have good things happen to those around them. Not God! He will rejoice with you when something good happens! And finally, God isn't faultfinding. If you are living sincerely for Him, He won't dig in your past before He decides to give to you. He gives because He loves you, not because you always deserve it. Glory to God! We need to understand just how good God is.

Lily’s Hope Hosts Public Open House Contributed Article WCA Hospital

To celebrate their kindhearted service to the community as well as five years since opening their doors, the women of Zonta Club of Jamestown will host a public Open House for Lily’s Hope— a wig shop founded to bestow wigs to community members affected by a medical condition who lost their hair. The event will be held on Thursday, November 5, from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at its conveniently located wig shop just steps inside the WCA Cancer Treatment Center at Jones Memorial Health Center, 51 Glasgow Avenue, Jamestown (directly behind WCA Occupational Health Services). Event signs will lead the way to the Open House. Front door and handicap event parking is available. Light refreshments will be served. The ladies of Zonta will take center stage to greet guests and show attendees around Lily’s Hope and what they have to offer patients. WCA Hospital Cancer Treatment Center staff will also tour guests through the Cancer Treatment Center which is situated in the same location as Lily’s Hope. Lily’s Hope got its name from Lily Olson, past President of the Zonta Club of Jamestown, whose vision began from a conversation with a friend who drove patients’ long distances to obtain a wig. “Lily could not believe that a woman affected by illness had to travel far

distances just to buy a wig,” Rosanna Papalia, Zonta Club of Jamestown PR chair and president-elect, explains. “Lily quickly recognized that there was an unmet need in the community and approached our Zonta members to see if there was a possibility to open a wig shop close to home where women had access to hair coverings if they suffered from hair loss. We are delighted to state that our club members took Lily’s dream seriously as it echoed Zonta’s mission to advance the status of women. To the delight and support of many, Lily’s Hope was born! Since we opened our doors five years ago, we have had the good fortune to fit hundreds of women with free wigs, turbans, hats, and other fashionable head coverings.” Each wig donated by Lily’s Hope is specially transformed to meet the individual needs of the patient and her unique style for fashion. “Our service provides patients with an added boost to their self-esteem and the confidence to carry them through their journey to recovery,” adds Jill Colburn, President of the Zonta Club of Jamestown. “We are very excited and elated to open our doors to the public so they can peek inside to learn how we add that special measure of healing for those affected by sickness and hair loss. We want to invite everyone to stop by and discover how this invaluable and important service helps women get back on the road to recovery.” For more information on the Open

BOCES And The Board Of Elections Partner To Service Voters And Enhance Student Security On Election Day Contributed Article Board of Elections

School security and student safety is a serious matter on Election Day in Chautauqua County, but a partnership with the BOCES criminal justice program at the North County LoGuidice Center in Fredonia and the Chautauqua County Board of Elections is helping to mitigate these two issues. The BOCES criminal justice program instructed by Jennie Alessi stood guard during school hours at the most recent September primary election and escorted voters safely to the voting area in the school building. This allowed the Board of Elections to conduct a seamless voting process and enhanced student safety. The Board of Elections will again be partnering with BOCES for the Nov. 3, 2015 General Election to facilitate voting and to provide enhanced student security on that day. “We really have no other facility identified to service voters in the southern Pomfret area outside of the Village of Fredonia,” said Election Commissioners Norman P. Green and Brian C. Abram. “So when BOCES principal Jose Pagan came up with this idea during a brainstorming session, it removed security from our shoulders and at the same time now allows for real life experience for the students. All of our staff, as well as our poll workers and the voters we spoke with, found these students to be helpful, courteous and friendly in every way. They were a great representation for the school, and Mr. Pagan and Mrs. Alessi should be proud of the job the students did for the election. We are thrilled this partnership will be continuing.”

stay away from billowing or long-trailing fabric. If you are making your own costume, choose material that won’t easily ignite if it comes into contact with heat or flame. Visibility: Provide children with flashlights to carry for lighting or glow sticks as part of their costumes. If your child is wearing a mask, make sure the eye holes are large enough so he/she can see clearly out of it. Flammable decorations: Dried flowers, cornstalks and crepe paper are highly flammable. Keep these and other decorations well away from all open flames and heat sources, including light bulbs and heaters. Candles/jack-o-lanterns: It is safest to use a glow stick or battery-operated candle in a jack-o-lantern. If you use a real candle, use extreme caution. When lighting candles inside jack-o-lanterns, use long fireplace-style matches or a utility lighter. If you choose to use candle decorations, make sure to keep them well attended at all times. Do not leave them near flammable objects or where trick-or-treaters may

walk. Remind your children to avoid open flames. Make sure children are watched at all times when candles are lit. Exits: Remember to keep exits clear of decorations, so nothing blocks escape routes. About the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Founded in 1896, NFPA is a global, nonprofit organization devoted to eliminating death, injury, property and economic loss due to fire, electrical and related hazards. The association delivers information and knowledge through more than 300 consensus codes and standards, research, training, education, outreach and advocacy; and by partnering with others who share an interest in furthering the NFPA mission.

A Grapeful Harvest LAKE ERIE WINE COUNTRY CELEBRATES ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL HARVEST IN THE LARGEST GRAPE-GROWING REGION EAST OF THE ROCKIES! Contributed Article Lake Erie Wine Country

Lake Erie Wine Country’s 24 wineries are wrapping up the grape harvest and preparing for their two Harvest Celebration Weekends, November 6-8 and November 13-15. Ticket holders will visit 24 participating wineries where they can enjoy a special wine paired with a delicious “harvest” food sample. As in the past, ticket holders will also receive additional tastings, a wine glass, recipe booklet, a $5 voucher and a gift. This year’s gift is a large jar of fruit syrup, locally grown and made at the Sugar Shack in Westfield, New York. Ticket holders will plan their own itinerary, enjoying a self-guided tour to each winery they choose to visit. Tickets are now on sale for the Harvest Celebration Weekends at $35 per person. One ticket is good for either Weekend #1 (November 6-8) or Weekend #2 (November 13-15). The regular $35 ticket is good for all three days. Advanced-sale ticket purchase is recommended as tickets are limited, and they are usually sold-out before the event begins. They may be purchased online at www.lakeeriewinecountry.org. Designated driver tickets are available for only $20 and include everything except wine. An alternate beverage is provided to designated drivers. The wine region now offers a Friday and/or Sunday only ticket for just $31. Hours for each of the two Harvest Celebration Weekends are: Friday, noon - 5 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday, 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. “With 30,000 acres of vineyards in the Lake Erie Wine Country Region, the conclusion of the grape harvest each year is a significant event,” says Julie Ellis, Executive Director of Lake Erie Wine Country. “The Chautauqua County portion of our grape region provides the majority of grape juice to the state of New York, and the approximately 11,000 acres in Erie County, Pa., provides most of the grape juice in the state of Pennsylvania. It makes sense that we have so many wineries here, and they enjoy throwing this popular harvest celebration event each year.” From Braised Beef Tips and Mushrooms paired with Seyval Blanc, to Caramelized Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp paired with Bianco Fresco to Cranberry Apple Crisp paired with Avarice wine, visitors can expect three days of thrilling taste sensations at each of the region’s 24 unique wineries. The food and wine sample pairings for all wineries can be found at www.lakeeriewinecountry.org along with detailed information on the double-weekend event. The website also lists events all year long for all 24 wineries. Wineries are open year-around for tours and tasting.

Children’s Concerts Series CONTINUES 10TH SEASON WITH SPECIAL CONCERT FEATURING PROF. JOHN HAUSMANN PERFORMING ON THE SITARON SATURDAY, NOV. 7 Contributed Article Fredonia School of Music

The Musical Journeys Program of The State University of New York at Fredonia School of Music continues its 10th season of free concerts designed to appeal to very young children. Selected student ensembles from the Fredonia School of Music will perform half-hour Children’s Concerts with two performances (one at 10:30 a.m. and one at 11:30 a.m.) on Saturday, Nov. 7 in Darwin R. Barker Library, 7 Day Street in Fredonia.  Planned with the help of Fredonia faculty who are experts in music and education, the concerts are designed to introduce very young audiences (from infants to 6-year-olds) to musical instruments. In this child-friendly environment, performers will invite the children to sit on the floor close to the musicians; family members are encouraged to bring blankets or carpet squares to sit on. Strollers can be parked around the edges of the seating area.  “It’s wonderful to see the musical relationship between the children and the college student performers develop as the concert progresses. The musicians are sharing music they love, and the children certainly respond to that,” said Sarah Hamilton, associate professor of oboe and co-organizer.  The concert will feature special guest Prof. John Hausmann playing the sitar. The sitar is a plucked stringed instrument used mainly in Indian classical music. “The Children’s Concerts are enjoyable, child-appropriate opportunities for very young children to interact with music and musicians. For the young audience and the performers, music becomes a playmate to join in a thrilling adventure.” said Jill Reese, assistant professor of music and co-organizer at the Fredonia School of Music. “During these events, learning and teaching among the children and the student musicians is mutual: children learn about music through moving, listening, and creating, and our student musicians learn to engage young imaginations and ignite new musical passions!”  The Children’s Concert Series is part of the Musical Journeys Program, a community outreach project offered by the Fredonia School of Music.

the Mediterranean diet. Their average age was 80 years. All participants underwent MRI scans of their brains to measure total brain volume and thickness. They also completed questionnaires about their food choices and eating patterns. The researchers found that brain volumes of those who didn’t follow a Mediterranean diet were smaller than those who did. The difference was minor in overall size -- equated to about five years of aging, the study authors said. But, more specifically, the investigators found that eating more fish and less meat was associated with even less brain shrinkage. Gu said scientists don’t yet know exactly why the Mediterranean diet seems healthier for the brain. However, other research has established that a higher intake of fish and vegetables and a lower intake of meat are beneficial for brain cell growth, she said. Dr. Joseph Masdeu, director of the Nantz National Alzheimer Center at Houston Methodist Hospital, praised the research as “an elegant way of looking at this [issue].” Masdeu, who wasn’t involved in the research, said, “I think the take-home message is clear . . . a diet containing less meat and perhaps more fish is good

for you. There are negative studies [focusing on] the Mediterranean diet as well, but several confirming a positive effect. So it’s tentative, but it’s the strongest preventive approach we have [promoting brain health] together with exercise.” Using the study findings, Gu contended that eating at least 3 to 5 ounces of fish weekly, or no more than 3.5 ounces of meat each day, could protect the brain from shrinkage. She acknowledged that study participants may have inaccurately recalled their food consumption habits in the questionnaires used. “We asked people to recall their past dietary habits, so that’s prone to recall bias,” she said. Dr. Malaz Boustani, a spokesperson for the American Federation for Aging Research, said the new study provided “very good messaging” for the public. “This is an encouraging study that will really make us work harder to see how we can actually encourage people . . . to change their diet to accommodate the Mediterranean diet,” said Boustani, also founding director of the Sandra Eskenazi Center for Brain Care Innovation at Indiana University. “It makes it very easy for people to do the right thing.”

Taking The Preventative Stand

By Brad Jarrett Contributing Writer

What if you knew five years from today you’d be diagnosed with cancer? How would you react?

For most of us, after showing quite a bit of emotion, we’d say something like “I’m quitting my job to travel the world!” But here’s the twist; you’ve been given steps to take, starting today, that would prevent the spread of cancer and in fact, reverse the damage. If followed, these steps would change your diagnosis. In five years, you’d be healthy and well. I’m no doctor, but I imagine your response would be along the lines of “GIVE ME THE STEPS!” You see, we hear the word “cancer” and automatically a switch in our brain is flipped. We’re willing to do whatever it takes to rid our bodies of the disease. This is a profound con-

cept, as it taps into our deep motivation as humans. My question is…Why don’t terms like “obesity” and “inactivity” elicit the same response? When these conditions become part of life, it’s not a question of IF adverse health effects will be experienced, but WHEN. Here is the good news; you have the option, starting today, to change the course of your life. To shift away from a future of disease and treatment, and move towards health and vitality. Are you willing to act, as you were for the diagnoses of cancer? There can no longer be a delayed beginning. The excuses of “After the kids start school”, or “Once the holidays are over” no longer work. There

needs to be immediate action taken, the longer you wait, the less likely it is to happen. We must take ownership of our responsibility to tend to the body we’ve been given. It needs to be appreciated, and viewed as a gift. When the way we see our body changes, everything changes. Think of it like this; if I was to walk up to your door and hand you the keys to a brand new Mercedes, would you run out to it and smash windows in? Put tar in the gas tank? Or say, “Wow this thing is ugly!” Of course not!! That’d be crazy!! Then why do you act differently with the GIFT of a body you’ve been given? Why do you damage it, talk

bad about it, and fuel it with junk? Your body is worth more than any car in the world, as Zig Ziggler says “Try and name a car you would trade the health of your body for?” No material possession will ever be worth your health. “What dying rich man wouldn’t be willing to give everything he owns for another day of life?” Your steps to prevent the “cancer” of obesity and inactivity are consistent exercise, and healthy eating. Are you willing to take them? How will your doctor’s appointment end in 5 years? Will you be devastated or relieved? Much of the choice is yours. I challenge you to honor the body you’ve been given.

the healthier option for the school party and trick-or-treaters - treats like popcorn, boxes of raisins, cereal mix, apples, cut vegetables or smaller portions of cookies/cupcakes/ doughnuts are a start. Finally, pumpkins- what an amazing Halloween hallmarkwe get to carve them to make jack-o-lanterns and eat them too! There are many yummy pumpkin recipes going around with our own “Homemade by Katy” giving us several. I personally love pumpkin bread - I take my banana bread recipe and replace the mashed bananas with pumpkin and it is oh, so delicious! Try using pumpkin in place of oil/fat in cookie and cake recipes for a more nutritious treat as well. Why is pumpkin so great for your health? Pumpkin (and other squash) is often considered a “super” food, chock full of nutrition. It is loaded with beta carotene which the body converts to Vitamin A - a

serving of cooked pumpkin has 2650 IU, meeting the daily needs for most people. Vitamin A promotes healthy skin, bones, eyesight and reproduction; and, it has super powers! Scientists continue to learn about Vitamin A, discovering how Beta Carotene may prevent some cancers, protect against heart disease and provide anti-aging properties! Pumpkin has a significant amount of other nutrients too - a serving contains 3 grams of fiber (same as an apple), 564 mg of potassium (more than a banana); and, is low in calories with only 49 per 1 cup cooked pumpkin. Other nutrients include Protein (2 g), Iron (1.4 mg), Calcium (37 mg), Magnesium (22), Zinc (1 mg), Selenium (0.50 mg), Vitamin C (12 mg), Niacin (1 mg), Folate (21 mcg) and Vitamin E

Board at Westfield Memorial Hospital Dan Heckmyer, Campus Manager, EC New York at Fredonia State University of New York Katie Giese, Executive Director, Workforce Investment Board at Chautauqua Works For many rural communities like ours, there is a lack of physicians. Having the right complement of physicians serving the area is a major factor to encourage residents to stay in the community and to attract new people. The Cluster has determined that there must be a serious effort to retain and recruit physicians to our area. This will only be accomplished if all interested parties work together. Mike Miller, Director of Operations at LEMS and new member of the LED Committee was able to utilize the connections through the Health Services cluster to recruit Fayal Siddiqui MD, a pediatrician, who attended Fredonia High School in the early 2000’s. Dr. Siddiqui stated, “I have so many great

memories of growing up here. I am happy to see familiar faces and excited about being a part of the community again. While driving down Central Avenue from my parents’ home in Fredonia, I recalled my various classmates’ homes. I thought of them and wondered where they were now. I don’t know which familiar faces I’ll come upon again, but I hope to excel in the care of our future, our children, and support the community of loving teachers and neighbors that nurtured me into who I am today.” It is the LED Committee’s strong belief that community leaders must recognize and adapt to the changing cultural and economic environment. Recruitment and employment of physicians in the community can help address several key issues, including downstream revenue, job growth, physician integration and alignment of community priorities. The NCCF is working on new strategies that deal with these economic realities. According to John “Jay” Warren, LED Committee Chair, “Success

hinges largely on the involvement of local leaders. This need is being realized within the healthcare field.” Anyone interested in learning more about the NCCF - LED Committee, can contact Jamie Thompson at the NCCF office at 716-366-4892, or John Jay Warren, LED Committee Chair, at 716-679-8654. The NCCF will celebrate 30 years of charitable leadership in 2016. Founded in 1986, the NCCF is committed to improving the community through the promotion of local philanthropy, strategic grantmaking and community leadership. Served by a small staff and governed by an all-volunteer board of directors, the organization has distributed over $10.6 million in the form of grants and scholarships within the community. Truly community in nature, the NCCF is an organization created by and for the people of northern Chautauqua County. For more information, visit www.nccfoundation.org.

From wigs to hats to scarves, Lily’s Hope wig shop, located at the WCA Cancer Treatment Center at 51 Glasgow Avenue, Jones Memorial Health Center, Jamestown, helps women affected by a medical condition who lost their hair, look their best. Chemotherapy fights cancer, but it can also cause hair loss. Melissa Ann Paduano, breast cancer survivor, says it leads to the need for a popular head covering. “I sought a wig that was fun and funky,” said Melissa who survived non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma fourteen years ago and more recently, breast cancer. “Wigs, hats, and head coverings can be a surprisingly fun way to change your persona and spice things up! My new hairdos convey fun and fashion and I am truly grateful to Lily’s Hope who brought some light-heartedness into what can be a more solemn and serious experience.” The women of Zonta Club of Jamestown will host a public Open House for Lily’s Hope—a

SOUTHWESTERN COACH'S STORY STRAIGHT OUT OF HOLLYWOOD By Erik Tingue Star Contributing Writer

Southwestern High School’s head football coach, Clymer native and former threetime All-State selection and All-Western New York selection Jehuu Caulcrick knows all about overcoming adversity. As a child, Caulcrick lived in Liberia when civil war broke out. He and his family traveled from refugee camp to refugee camp. During that childhood, Caulcrick was witness to many horrifically violent acts and destruction. Even though Caulcrick had to overcome obstacles that many people couldn’t even comprehend, those hard times have made him who he is today, which is a blessed and humble individual. “The biggest thing in my life is faith,” Caulcrick said. “There’s nothing I can’t overcome after seeing and going through what I’ve gone through and my strong faith in family and God really helped carry me through those toughest times.” Because Clymer Central School didn’t have a soccer team the sport he was most familiar with the young Caulcrick joined the football team when he began high school. He proceeded to lead the team to four straight Section VI Class D championships and four consecutive appearances in the state Final Four. As a senior, Caulcrick rushed for 2,161 yards and had 28 touchdowns. Going into college, Caulcrick was rated the second-best fullback in the nation by Superprep and fifth-best by Rivals.com. Caulcrick went on to play football at prestigious Michigan State, where he played tailback and part-time fullback. He ended his career 2,395 rushing yards and 39 touchdowns. After college, he made his way to the NFL despite being undrafted. He spent

time with the New York Jets, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, San Francisco 49ers and the Buffalo Bills. Playing football has been nothing short of a life-changing opportunity for Caulcrick. “Football was a great opportunity that changed my life in different aspects from networking, meeting different people in life and opening up doors for different possibilities to create a future for myself,”

Caulcrick stated. “Football taught me to make the most of every opportunity,” he continued. “You never know when the game can be taken away from you.

OVERCOMING ADVERSITY, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 24 ball and overcoming adversity has a reflection on his players. Caulcrick tells his athletes to “relax and realize it’s just a game that we’re playing. At the end of the day, somebody else has it a lot worse than we have it, so we have to appreciate the life that we’re given.” There are many lessons in football that can’t be learned in a classroom and Caulcrick’s biggest lesson is the character build that the sport can give a player. “You need to learn how to be team players in football,” Caulcrick explained. “You have to be a role model on the football field and off of the football field. That’s what the ultimate lesson is. My idea of a great character is a leader who does the right things even when no one is watching.” Senior captain and running back/linebacker of the Southwestern Trojans, Brennan Kennedy has learned a lot from Coach Caulcrick and knows what it takes for his team to keep progressing and getting better. “Coach has taught us that competition is a big key on and off the field.” Kennedy shared. “You should just always be competing whether if it’s in the weight room or out here during practice. It takes unlimited hours of hard work to get positive feedback. Football is a big part of our lives. “It doesn’t matter what your situation is or where you started from,” Kennedy continued. “You can always persevere through anything and you just have to put your mind to it in order to get what you want and succeed.”

Caulcrick and his team are focused on making it back to Ralph Wilson Stadium, where the Sectional championship games are held, by the routine of hard work and discipline. “We plan on taking it one game at a time,” Ken-

nedy noted. “Every practice we have to get it going, we can’t be one practice down or else it shows on Friday nights and we need to have great practices all throughout the week in order for us to become successful.” “In order to make it back, we have to keep competing every game and playing it like it’s our last game,” Caulcrick added with purpose. “We have to tackle, be motivated, create the run game, and with those aspects we should be able to get back to where we need to be.” Caulcrick is really enjoying his first year as a head coach and plans to stick with it for a long time. Players can learn a lot from him that they can carry out throughout the rest of their lives. “You have to be pissed off for greatness,” he quoted. “That’s a quote that I will always live by. If you’re not pissed off for greatness, then you are okay with being mediocre.” Caulcrick is the epitome of a person who has proven that anything is possible. He has learned from what he has been through and has made the most out of it in his life. He plans on teaching these young football players the lessons that he has learned in life. The story of his transition from surviving day to day in Liberia as a young child to getting a chance to play in the NFL is truly inspiring to everyone who hears it.

Healy Nets 2OT Winner Vs. New Paltz Contributed Article FSU Sports Information Dept.

Parker Healy (East Aurora, N.Y.) scored late in the second overtime as short-handed Fredonia celebrated Senior Day with a 5-4 SUNYAC home win over New Paltz. Healy settled the ball and scored into a vacated net after New Paltz goalkeeper John Guzzo fell after defending a high cross with 2:16 left in the second overtime. The assist went to Vinny Chimento (Akron, N.Y.), one of four Fredonia seniors playing their final home game. The win lifted the Blue Devils to 3-11-3 overall and 2-5-2 in the SUNYAC. The Hawks fell to 10-8-1 and 3-6-0. The goal was the second of the game for Healy and his fourth and fifth of the season. Mike Biggane (Amherst, N.Y.), Joey Vucic (East Aurora, N.Y.), and Mazin Mohamed (Rochester, N.Y.) had Fredonia's other goals. Healy and Vucic also had one assist each. Aleco Podias had three goals and one assist for New Paltz. Jason Gonzalez also scored for the Hawks. Noah Voss (Fredonia, N.Y.), a freshman, earned his first collegiate win in goal. He relieved starter and fellow freshman Jeremy Bari (Niagara Falls, N.Y.), who left the game in the first half because of an injury.

Voss spent the final 77:28 in net, making three saves and allowing two goals. The Blue Devils played one man down part of the first half and all of the second half and overtimes after Bryan Sibble (Liverpool, N.Y.) recevied a red card. It was one of eight cards issued in the game.

The teams also combined for 29 fouls. In addition to Chimento, Biggane, Max Prosser (Fairport, N.Y.), and Paul Reinis (Webster, N.Y.) were recogzined during the pre-game Senior Day ceremony on the field. They and teammates will close out the 2015 season Tuesday when they visit Hobart.

Blue Devils Volleyball Earns Postseason Berth Contributed Article FSU Sports Information Dept.

GENESEO, N.Y. -- After a four-game losing streak in the SUNYAC that put the team's post-season hopes in jeopardy, the Blue Devil women's volleyball team swept the final two games of conference play to earn the sixth seed in the SUNYAC Tournament. On Saturday the team downed Potsdam in three sets (25-17, 25-20, 25-22) followed by a decisive four-set win against Geneseo with the playoff berth on the line (25-21, 25-13, 18-25, 25-20). The Blue Devils will face No. 3 Oswego in the quarterfinal round of the SUNYAC Tournament on Nov. 6. Against Potsdam, Sara Madison (Rochester, N.Y. / Penfield) earned one of her best performances of the season, finishing with 14 kills and a .414 hitting percentage.

hitting percentage overall. The afternoon match against Geneseo would earn the winning team a SU-

NYAC playoff berth. Fredonia handled the Knights with ease in the first two sets, including a decisive 25-13 second set in which the Blue Devil serving held the Knights' offense to a .051 hitting percentage. Geneseo pushed back in the third set behind the offense of Paige O'Connor and Paige Pendleton, who finished with nine and eight kills each. The Blue Devils held strong however in the fourth and final set in which Kristen Stanek (Hamburg, N.Y. / Orchard Park) had five of her 15 kills. Edinger had 43 assists, compared to 27 for Geneseo's setter, Emily Ast. Fredonia will celebrate their senior night on Tuesday at 7 p.m. against Medaille, followed by a trip to Nazareth College next weekend for the New York Challenge. The SUNYAC Tournament will be held in Brockport, N.Y. on Nov. 6-8.

RUNNERS ENJOY FREDONIA ALUMNI 5K DESPITE FRIGID TEMPERATURES

(Photos by Stefan Gestwicki)

By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

There were over 100 people gathered on the SUNY Fredonia campus on Saturday morning for the Fredonia Alumni 5K run. The event coincided with Fredonia’s homecoming weekend. “The idea for this event came from alumni,” Fredonia head track coach Tom Wilson shared. “I’m an alumni myself. We just wanted to do what we could to bring as many alumni and studentathletes together. What better way to do that than with what we did and loved while we were here — running.” Proceeds from the event went to supporting the Fredonia men’s and women’s cross country, indoor and outdoor track and field teams. “It’ll go into the booster account,” Wilson explained. “It’ll help out with travel, equipment, uniforms and anything else we need to draw from. That’s what the booster account is for.” The current Fredonia men’s and women’s cross country teams participated in the event as did many alumni, current students and members of the community. “The event was a collaboration of my assistant coaches, the Alumni House and the athletics

department,” Wilson noted. “We all get together during homecoming weekend. There’s a basketball game. There’s a soccer game. We just don’t want to overlap. We want everyone to be able to see everything.” Speaking of seeing everything, the 5K course was designed to give alumni a ‘tour’ of the campus to see the new science building as well as current construction projects, etc. “We start right here in front of Steele Hall,” Wilson said. “We go out around Ring Road and all the way to Fenton Hall. They come back and actually finish on the outdoor track.” The weather was less than ideal, but runners are used to adverse conditions. “At least it’s not raining or snowing,” Wilson said with a laugh and a shake of his head. “It’s extremely windy today, though. That’ll make it tricky for someone to really race. We’re mostly here just to have a good time. I don’t think anyone is here to race anything blazing fast.”

SELF-PROCLAIMED EXPERT, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 24 To the picks! BYE WEEK: Buffalo Bills, Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Football Team, Jacksonville Jaguars.

MIAMI DOLPHINS (3-3) at NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS (6-0) The Patriots might be the undefeated team here, but no team is hotter than the Dolphins after two straight blowout wins. Interim head coach Dan Campbell has his team playing with toughness and urgency after four weeks of the Dolphins looking like one of the worst teams in the NFL. Ryan Tannehill has been amazing the past two weeks and Lamar Miller has been on fire in the running game. That’s not to say the Patriots haven’t been hot. They’ve scored at least 28 points in every game this season. They have the advantage of being home for a second straight game on this short week. There’s definitely something to be said for not having to travel, even if it’s just back to New England. This is arguably the Patriots’ biggest test of the season so far. The Dolphins have blown out the Titans and the Texans. It’s fair to say the Patriots are a bit better than those two teams. PICK VS. SPREAD: Dolphins (+9). STRAIGHT PICK: Patriots.

Detroit. Ameer Abdullah is the leading rusher with a mere 222 yards. K.C. snapped a five-game losing streak last week. Charcandrick West is doing an admirable job filling in for the injured Jamaal Charles. His 110 yards and touchdown last week were a huge reason for the Chiefs’ win. Upcoming games against Denver and San Diego following this one theoretically give the Chiefs a chance to save their season. There’s just no way a person can pick the Lions in any capacity. They’re awful. PICK VS. SPREAD: Chiefs (-4.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Chiefs.

TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS (2-4) at ATLANTA FALCONS (6-1) Tampa Bay came within moments of surpassing last year’s win total, but allowed a last-minute touchdown and fell to last place in the NFC South. Visiting the Falcons probably isn’t a recipe for a win for the young Bucs. Jameis Winston has certainly been up and down, but his overall numbers aren’t half bad. He’s completing 60 percent of his passes and has a quarterback rating of 85.7. For a guy with six career starts, that’s solid. The problem for Tampa has been the pass defense. Matt Ryan must be licking his chops for the chance to line up across from this defense that has allowed 15 touchdown passes and picked off just three passes. Ryan is already over 2,000 yards passing and is completing just under 65 percent of his passes. Julio Jones has hauled in 58 catches for 730 yards. Insane. Having Devonta Freeman continue his assault on the ground makes this perhaps the league’s most dangerous offense.

ARIZONA CARDINALS (5-2) at CLEVELAND BROWNS (2-5) Arizona got a much-needed win on Monday night as they’re on the road for two straight starting with this East Coast trip to Cleveland. The Cardinals have been good the past few years with defense, but the offense is among the best in the league through the first seven weeks. Arizona is second in points scored per game, sixth in passing yards and 10th in rushing yards. That’s impressive any way you slice it. Old timers Chris Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald and Carson Palmer continue to get it done. Palmer might be the league MVP right now. The Browns better hope cornerback Joe Haden can come back soon or they’re going to continue to get torched by the pass. They also need to hope they’re quarterback situation sorts itself out. Apparently Josh McCown is healthy enough to start, but a shoulder injury for a quarterback could be a lingering issue. This game might be over already if the Browns don’t get healthy by Sunday. Of course having a run game averaging just 3.6 yards per carry isn’t helping at all. Cleveland’s only hope in this game is that Arizona is already looking ahead to Week 9’s game in Seattle. PICK VS. SPREAD: Carinals (-4.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Cardinals.

all year. As mobile as he is, he’s been sacked 25 times. The Rams have a nasty pass rush, so that doesn’t bode well for Kaep. Carlos Hyde is a great running back, but doesn’t seem to be getting enough touches. The Rams usually look like worldbeaters against fellow NFC West teams. The concern is that Nick Foles hasn’t thrown for more than 197 yards since Week 1. He only has six touchdowns on the season. That’s the bad news. The good news is Todd Gurley. The rookie running back has accounted for half of the team’s yards in the past three games. He’s a true dual threat out of the backfield. On defense, Aaron Donald has emerged as one of the premier defensive lineman in the game. The unit has 23 sacks on the season and should make Kaepernick’s life miserable on Sunday. The Rams have already downed Seattle and Arizona this season. They’ll complete the NFC West trifecta at home this week. PICK VS. SPREAD: 49ers (+9). STRAIGHT PICK: Rams.

NEW YORK GIANTS (4-3) at NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (3-4) Remember when we were shoveling dirt on both of these teams after each began the season 0-2? The results haven’t been 100 percent positive since then, but both have made big strides. The Giants finally beat the Cowboys for the first time since 2012. They’re alone in first place in the NFC East. The schedule in the second half of the season looks pretty rough, so the Giants need to stockpile SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS (2-5) at some wins now. The Saints have won three of their ST. LOUIS RAMS (3-3) The 49ers are a tough team to figure last four games to crawl out of obscurity. With games against the Titans, out.

MINNESOTA VIKINGS (4-2) at CHICAGO BEARS (2-4) Minnesota continues to take care of business and stay on Green Bay’s heels in the NFC North. Having Adrian Peterson back is certainly a plus, but it’s been the defense that has really boosted this team. Linval Joseph has been outstanding from his defensive tackle position. The interior of Chicago’s offensive line isn’t great, so Joseph could be in line for a big game in this one. Of course, Sharrif Floyd just had surgery on his knee, so his return date is in question. Stefon Diggs continues to be a revelation as a fifth-round rookie receiver. The Bears are coming off their bye and they’re hoping that Antrel Rolle and Shea McClellin are able to play after the time off. Rolle missed the two games before the bye, but his presence would be most welcome on a struggling defense. The offensive stats aren’t pretty either, but both Jay Cutler and Alshon Jeffery are healthy now, so it’s a much different offense than has played most of the season. You can never rule out Matt Forte completely taking over a game, either. The Vikings are just too talented on defense. PICK VS. SPREAD: Vikings (-1). STRAIGHT PICK: Vikings.

SAN DIEGO CHARGERS (2-5) at BALTIMORE RAVENS (1-6) Something has to give in this one, right? The Chargers are 0-3 on the road. The Ravens are 0-2 at home. Both teams are in the midst of cripplingly disappointing seasons, though. Both are probably already out of the playoff picture, though San Diego has a pretty easy schedule coming up. Of course, this is a team that was just embarrassed at home by the Raiders. That’s the Oakland Raiders, folks. Phillip Rivers has thrown the ball 311 times already. Wow. While the Chargers have been flat-out bad at times, the Ravens simply find new and exciting ways to lose games each and every week. They’ve been in every game this year and haven’t lost any games by more than one score. As clutch as Joe Flacco was in that Super Bowl run a few seasons ago, he’s been exactly the opposite this year. His interception against Arizona sealed Baltimore’s most recent loss. The defense continues to disappoint, too. It’s hard to pick either of these teams. I’ll bet on Baltimore continuing to lose close games. PICK VS. SPREAD: Chargers (+3). STRAIGHT PICK: Chargers.

CINCINNATI BENGALS (6-0) at PITTSBURGH STEELERS (4-3) The Bengals have had two weeks to think about this one. In that time, they must have figured out that if they beat Pittsburgh, the AFC North is all but sealed. Andy Dalton has been nothing short of great. The Bengals have a recent history of being great in the early season before falling flat in the playoffs, but it’s hard to find any weakness on this team. The offense is loaded. The defense is giving up just 20 points per game (11th in the NFL). The coaching is good. The overall team health is above average. This is just a good team. The Steelers are set to welcome back Ben Roethlisberger with open arms. Big Ben has made a career out of being very hard to bring down, but against Cincy’s fierce pass rush and on one bad knee, it’s fair to question how effective Roethlisberger will be. Of course, having Antonio Brown, Martavis Bryant, Markus Wheaton and Le’Veon Bell to throw the ball to will certainly help him out. The Steelers have had a surprisingly good pass rush of their own, but Dalton has been sacked just six times this season. These games used to be defensive slugfests, but both teams have dynamic

TENNESSEE TITANS (1-5) at HOUSTON TEXANS (2-5) Does anyone care about the AFC South? No? Didn’t think so. Both of these teams are beyond terrible. Now Arian Foster is out for the season. Lovely. PICK VS. SPREAD: Texans (even). STRAIGHT PICK: Texans.

NEW YORK JETS (4-2) at OAKLAND RAIDERS (3-3) When the schedule came out, this sure looked like a Game No One Cares About candidate. Yet with both teams in second place in their respective divisions and fighting for AFC wild card position, this is actually a fairly important game. The Jets very nearly gave New England its first loss last week. While the loss hurts, staying with the Super Bowl champs has to give the Jets confidence. Ryan Fitzpatrick continues to be good enough with his 86.1 quarterback rating. Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker each have four touchdown grabs. Darrelle Revis covering Amari Cooper should be fun. The Raiders made a statement last week with their thorough beating of San Diego. Sure, the final score was only 37-29, but Oakland built a 37-6 lead in the fourth quarter before taking their foot of the gas with the game in hand. Derek Carr threw three touchdowns and Cooper hauled in five catches for 133 yards. While that’s all excellent, the Jets might just have the league’s best defense. Carr is going to CONTINUED ON PG 30

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS (3-4) at DALLAS COWBOYS (2-4) When the schedule came out, this probably looked like a potential playoff matchup. Now, both teams are struggling to stay relevant after dismal starts to the season. The Seahawks have a real chance to get back into the NFC race though as they play Arizona after Dallas. Getting more from the passing game is priority No. 1 for Seattle. Russell Wilson has been far from elite and the Seahawks are 28th in the league in passing yards per game. The defense hasn’t been as dominating as in years past, either. Dallas is set to welcome back stud receiver Dez Bryant. That’s the good news. The bad news is that it’s still Matt Cassell that will be trying to get Bryant the ball. Cassell threw three interceptions in last week’s critical loss to the Giants. One underrated stat from Dallas is that kicker Dan Bailey is perfect in both field goals and extra points this season. With a lot of talk about kickers around the league struggling, Bailey continues to be automatic. He might be a key player in what

Royals Win Epic World Series Game 1 In 14 Innings By Ben Walker

AP Baseball Writer

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- An inside-the-park home run. A power failure that blacked out the TV audience. Crazy bounces, great plays and key errors. The longest World Series opener ever had a little bit of everything. And more than five hours after they began, Alcides Escobar and the Kansas City Royals also had just enough energy to outlast the New York Mets. Saved by Alex Gordon's tying home run in the ninth inning off Mets closer Jeurys Familia, the Royals won in the 14th when Escobar dashed home on Eric Hosmer's sacrifice fly for a 5-4 win late Tuesday night. ''It was a great night,'' Royals manager Ned Yost said. ''Two things you don't want in Game 1 of the World Series: One is to go 14 innings and the other is to lose.'' This tied for longest Series game ever and ended at 12:18 a.m. From the get-go, it was wild and weird. Escobar hit an inside-the-parker on the very first pitch from Matt Harvey. Later, that power problem caused fans and the team's replay rooms at Kauffman Stadium to go dark. The nearer it got to midnight - and beyond - the more oddly the ball bounced. In the 11th, Salvador Perez grounded a single that hit the third-base bag and caromed high in the air. In the 12th, Daniel Murphy struck out on a pitch that got past Perez - it ricocheted off the backstop to the Royals catcher, who threw out Murphy at first. About the only thing missing? A home run by Murphy, who had connected in a record six straight postseason games. The MVP of the NL Championship Series did contribute a pair of singles. ''Yeah, there was a lot of baseball out there,'' Murphy said. In the 14th, Escobar reached on an error by third baseman David Wright. Ben Zobrist's single put runners at the corners and an intentional walk to Lorenzo Cain loaded the bases with no outs. Hosmer atoned for a key error by lifting a flyball measured at 300 feet, and Escobar barely beat right fielder Curtis Granderson's throw home. ''I wanted to redeem myself for what happened earlier,'' Hosmer said. ''That's the beauty of this game.'' Chris Young pitched three hitless innings for the win. Bartolo Colon gave up an unearned run and took the loss. ''Their team, one of the things we know about them is they're never down and out,'' Mets manager Terry Collins. ''We've got to put them away. We've got to do a better job.'' Game 2 is Wednesday night, with Jacob deGrom starting for the Mets against Johnny Cueto. It's a hairy matchup: DeGrom's flowing tresses vs. Cueto's mop of dreadlocks. Anyone who's ever seen the Royals play - especially in October - knows they're called resilient for a reason. Once again, they reinforced their reputation. Gordon shook the ballpark when he tagged Familia, hitting a solo drive with one out over the center field wall. The star closer hadn't blown a save since July 30 and had been nearly perfect this postseason. Known more for his glove than his bat, Gordon connected when he said Familia tried to quick pitch him, and got a huge hug in the dugout from Hosmer. A two-time Gold Glove first baseman, Hosmer's error gave the Mets a 4-3 lead in the eighth. ''I was the happiest person in the stadium when Gordon homered,'' Hosmer said. ''I told him, 'I just want to hug you right now.' I think a lot of people in

He loves to swing at first pitches, and t w this time the MVP of AL Championship Series produced his best result yet. o A mix-up by Mets outfielders Yoenis Cespedes and rookie Michael Conforto a helped Escobar wind up with just the second inside-the-parker to lead off a t Series game.

' ''As I ran after the ball, I looked at Conforto and by the time I looked back up I B had lost the ball,'' Cespedes said through a translator. B Cespedes never put his mitt up and the ball glanced off his leg, darted along the F warning track and let Escobar score standing up. s Harvey brushed aside the misplay and quickly settled in. The Mets, meanwhile, M soon caught up with Royals starter Edinson Volquez, who did his best on the ' day his father died in the Dominican Republic. b Volquez left the stadium before the game ended and headed home. Most the I Royals didn't know about his dad. S ''I found out in, I think it was the 14th inning, right before we won the game,'' l Gordon said. ''I was standing next to Ned and he told me, he said, 'Let's win ' this game for Volquez.''' fi For both teams, this began as a lucky day. h Exactly 30 years earlier, on the same field, Bret Saberhagen and the Royals B routed St. Louis in Game 7 for their most recent crown.

Girgensons OT Tally Leads Sabres Over Flyers By Aaron Bracy Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- The Sabres quickly turned their disappointment around. Zemgus Girgensons scored on a breakaway with 2:31 left in overtime to lift Buffalo to a 4-3 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday night. Jake McCabe, Tyler Ennis and Jamie McGinn also scored for Buffalo, which snapped a two-game skid while winning for the first time on the road in its third try. ''The whole team gave it their all,'' Girgensons said. ''It would've been better if we didn't go to that overtime, but it's good to get that win. It just shows the character we have and the ability to win.'' Brayden Schenn had two goals and Chris VandeVelde also scored for Philadelphia. ''Buffalo moved the puck and spread things out really well and we couldn't sustain anything from one shift to the next on a consistent basis,'' Flyers coach Dave Hakstol said. It looked as if Buffalo was going to win it in regulation, but Schenn netted his second goal of the game with 53.2 seconds left in the third period to force overtime. With goalie Steve Mason out in favor of an extra attacker, Claude Giroux sent a wrist shot toward the goal. Schenn deflected it off goalie Chad Johnson and over his right shoulder. ''I was disappointed at that point,'' Sabres coach Dan Bylsma said. But Girgensons erased the disappointment. After the Flyers turned it over in their end, Carlo Colaiacovo sent a long pass to a wide-open Girgensons, who beat Mason through the five-hole. ''When he got the puck, I started walking up the bench. He's going to find it and he did,'' Bylsma said. It was the third win in nine games for the young Sabres, who finished with a league-worst 54 points last season. ''We're learning how to win as a group,'' Bylsma, their first-year coach, said. ''We're developing a team and how we want to play.'' Buffalo played its first game without top-line winger Evander Kane, who will miss 4-to-6 weeks after injuring his left knee in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Devils. Michael Raffl returned to the ice for Philadelphia. He was accidentally struck in the head by the Rangers' Jarret Stoll on Saturday night, felt dizzy and then collapsed on the Flyers bench. McCabe snapped a 2-all deadlock when his wrist shot from the point went through traffic and got past Mason's left pad with 10 minutes, 22 seconds left in the third period.

The Flyers had tied the game just over one minute earlier when Schenn tapped home Scott Laughton's cross-ice pass from just in front of the crease with 11:46 to play. Ennis put Buffalo on the scoreboard with a highlightreel goal 6 1/2 minutes into the contest. From behind the net, Ennis first deked around Giroux and, while falling to his knees, reached around the net and caromed a backhand shot off Mason's left pad and into the net. The Sabres went in front 2-0 on McGinn's power-play tally with 9:21 left in the first. Brian Gionta passed from center ice to the left wall to Johan Larsson, who fired the puck to the front of the crease where McGinn tapped it home. It was McGinn's first goal since last Nov. 4. ''It was a long time coming and hopefully there are more good things to come,'' he said. Schenn said the Flyers have to play with more of a sense of urgency from the start. ''It's never fun to play from behind,'' he said. ''We have to play better and put our foot on the gas pedal a little bit. Goalies are too good, teams are too good, to always try to come back. So it's something we have to change.'' Buffalo appeared to take a three-goal lead two minutes later, but Marcus Foligno's apparent goal was disallowed because a replay review confirmed the of-

ficials' ruling on the ice that Foligno kicked the puck past Mason. Philadelphia got on the board with 5:40 left in the period when VandeVelde fired a wrister past Johnson's glove side from the slot. Notes: Philadelphia honored retired former Flyers standout Danny Briere in a pregame ceremony. ... Tuesday was the first of three meetings this season between the teams, who will play next on Friday night in Buffalo. ... Pierre-Edouard Bellemare suffered a lower body injury with 5:52 remaining in the first period and didn't return.

Earnhardt Only Bright Spot After Talladega Ending By Jenna Fryer AP Auto Racing Writer

TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) -- Thank goodness Dale Earnhardt Jr. showed dignity in defeat after he was bounced from NASCAR's playoffs. The class shown by NASCAR's most popular driver in not criticizing the outcome was the one positive takeaway from a bad ending to Sunday's elimination race at Talladega Superspeedway. At least four drivers accused series champion Kevin Harvick of manipulating the finish, and an overwhelming pro-Earnhardt crowd left dissatisfied when a change to the rules prevented him from racing for the win. It was a win he had to have, too, to advance into the third round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. But NASCAR said last week that in an effort to maintain some semblance of safety, it would make just one attempt to finish the race under the green flag instead of the usual three tries. Earnhardt supported the decision before the race, and didn't change his mind after Harvick hooked Trevor Bayne on the restart to trigger an 11-car crash that froze the field before Earnhardt had a chance to chase leader Joey Logano into the first turn. ''I feel like no matter the rules, when the race is over, I can live with the result as long as everyone else is going by the same rules,'' Earnhardt said. ''Per the rule book, it sorted out and I finished second. I'm OK with that.'' His fans showered Logano's car with beer cans. Their anger may have been misdirected. Harvick knew he had a problem with his engine and knew his car likely wouldn't go on the restart. Had he forfeited his position in the running order - a move one would only do as a courtesy to avoid a potential pileup it's likely the reigning series champion would have plummeted in the standings and have been eliminated from the Chase. So he was told over his team radio to block as many cars as he could on the restart, an attempt to cling to the best finish possible. Instead, Bayne shot

NASCAR knew well before Sunday that the chances of the field successfully racing to the finish without wrecking were slim to none, so it altered the C green-white-checkered flag rule for one particular race - and even that one N attempt at finishing under green was useless. W Since everyone knew a wreck was more m than likely, why even bother with the u charade?

Lake Erie Fishing Hotline Contributed Article NYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation

Wind and waves have kept anglers off Lake Erie most of the past week. Previously, anglers picked up some good yellow perch catches northwest of Sturgeon Point in 52 feet of water. Emerald shiners are the top bait, but other small minnows will work as well. Lake Erie Tributaries Cattaraugus Creek is currently in good shape with moderate flow. Waders saw good steelhead action at mid-week on the Catt. Fish have been reported up through Gowanda, however catches have been best in the lower section of creek on Seneca Nation lands and downstream of the Route 5&20 bridge. Keep in mind a license issued by the Seneca Nation is needed to fish on their lands. There are steelhead in most of the other streams as well, mainly in the larger holes. Water levels are low on the small to medium sized tributaries, so there is not much upstream movement at present. Lake Erie steelhead commonly hit natural baits like egg sacs or worms, flies such as egg imitations, streamers and bugger patterns, and lures like minnow-type stickbaits, inline spinners and small spoons. When fishing low and clear conditions, it is best to use smaller baits, hooks and light line. Anglers are also catching steelhead from the Cattaraugus Creek breakwall and off creek mouths by casting spoons, spinners and stickbaits. For those new to steelhead fishing, see the Steelhead Fishing in Lake Erie Tributaries page for information on steelhead fishing equipment, fishing locations and links to stream maps. The damaged fish passage at the Westfield Water Works dam on Chautauqua Creek has been repaired. This fish passage gives migrating steelhead access to an additional 10 miles of stream that runs through a deep, wooded gorge. There are about 7 miles of public fishing rights easements (PFR) over that stretch of stream. Upper Niagara River The upper river is a great smallmouth bass option in fall as water cool and bass go on the feed. Also, conditions on the river are often more manageable than the open lake in fall, and boat launches on the river remain open late into the fall. Target feeding bass outside weed edges by drifting with bottom bouncing rigs with live golden shiners, crayfish or plastics. As river water temperature drops in the fall, the muskellunge fishing heats up. Anglers can target musky in the river by drifting along weed edges or over bottom structure with large tube jigs

or large shiners. Casting large stickbaits or spinnerbaits can also produce musky catches. Chautauqua Lake Anglers continue to see a good yellow perch bite around weed beds in 8-12 feet of water. Small minnows have worked best for keeper-sized perch. Crappie catches are on the rise in the south basin. Key on weeds near stream and canal inlets. Deep rocky points are good spots for smallmouth bass, with live crayfish or tube jigs. Trolling along deep weed edges with large stickbaits and bucktail spinners is a good bet for muskellunge. Surplus Broodstock Trout Stocking DEC Randolph Fish Hatchery has been conducting their annual fall stocking of broodstock trout in Allegany and Cattaraugus Counties. All breeder trout stocked are over 2 years old and are stocked in waters where trout fishing is permitted yearround. The following waters have been stocked as of 10/16: Case Lake received 300 brook trout (14-18") and 300 brown trout (14"); Quaker Lake received 175 brown trout (18-24") and 100 rainbow trout (18-28"); Red House Lake received 100 brown trout (18-24") and 25 rainbow trout (28"); Allen Lake received 100 brook trout (18"), 125 brown trout (18-24") and 75 rainbow trout (14-28"); New Albion Lake received 175 brook trout (14"), 25 brown trout (24") and 50 rainbow trout (21-28"). Call the Randolph Hatchery Stocking Hotline at (716) 358-4950 for updates. Inland Trout Fishing Fall can be a good time to fish the inland trout streams, as trout are on the feed and many other anglers have shifted their focus to the Great Lakes tributaries. The area trout streams are in good shape with moderate flows. The statewide trout season closes on October 15 (Great Lakes tributaries excluded). However, some inland creeks are open to trout fishing all year. Check the Special Regulations by County to see what streams are open to trout fishing beyond October 15. Western New York anglers have a variety of Wild Trout Streams and Stocked Trout Streams to choose from. In addition, Public Fishing Rights Maps are available for many of the area's best trout streams. Check out the Fishing for Stream Trout page for introductory information on trout baits, lures, fishing equipment and techniques. Lake Sturgeon Tags Scientists from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

are looking for satellite tags that were attached to lake sturgeon last season. These unique tags are programmed to "pop off" of (detach from) each fish once they have collected data on lake sturgeon movements. Scientists use these data to determine annual movements, migration, behaviors and habitat use of lake sturgeon in the eastern Lake Erie basin. Once these tags become detached from the fish, they float to the surface, and are easily recognized by their unique shape and bright orange coloration. They tend to drift from Buffalo Harbor into the Upper Niagara River and occasionally become entangled in riverside vegetation. Should you encounter a floating pop off tag, collect and contact USFWS using the information printed on the body of the tag. The responsible scientist will assist you in sending it back to the appropriate office. In addition, once the data are downloaded, scientists will provide a detailed letter about that particular sturgeon's migration and movement patterns within the eastern Lake Erie Basin. If you need more fishing information or would like to contribute to the fishing report, please call or email Mike Todd (716-851-7010; michael.todd@dec. ny.gov). Good Luck Fishing! The fishing hotline can also be heard at (716) 679ERIE or (716) 855-FISH.
