A History Of Valentine’s Day
Contributed Article History.com
THE LEGEND OF ST. VALENTINE The history of Valentine’s Day–and the story of its patron saint–is shrouded in mystery. We do know that February has long been celebrated as a month of romance, and that St. Valentine’s Day, as we know it today, contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition. But who was Saint Valentine, and how did he become associated with this ancient rite? The Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martyred. One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men. Valentine, realizing

Growth: A Sign of Life
By Scott Wise Editor
I recently took a business trip to California. It’s the third year in a row that I’ve spent nearly two weeks out there. I look forward to the time of course, but it’s good to be home. The place I go is about an hour northeast of San Diego. It’s a beautiful area, with scenery unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. And the weather, of course, is something to write home about. But one thing that always stands out to me about that area is the amazing growth and expansion I see. Growing up in Fredonia, I’ve never seen expansion of that magnitude. Even
in our larger cities in Western New York, growth has been praised at the launch of a new business or a new apartment complex. That’s pip-squeak stuff for San Diego County. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not moving anywhere. I’d rather stay here and see this thing through to success. To give my family and my community something to boast about, and my children a place to be proud to grow up in. The underlying theme in all of it seems to be a complex we’ve developed in this region. Whether it’s rooted in the fact that we don’t really see the sun for months at a time, or something seeded much deeper we’ll leave for another discussion. The complex, though, is one marked by poverty and reduction, rather than prosperity and increase. Going out there is like a breath of economic fresh air. Each year, there are many new businesses, and new construction is just about everywhere.
So what makes it different? California isn’t typically known as ‘business-friendly’ when it comes to taxes. And sure, people are willing to pay a high price for year-round warmth and sunshine (and palm trees. Don’t forget the beautiful palm trees). But, there’s got to be something else there. I believe that we can be that place. The light has got to start from somewhere, why not here? Sure it’s cold and frigid for part of the year, but that’s no reason to live in an economic downturn. In recent years, the city of Buffalo has seen expansion and renovation that is catching the eye of the nation. It starts with laws and leadership of course. We must create a business friendly economic atmosphere. Taxing our businesses up, down and sideways while they’re in their infancy is a foolhardy attempt at financial growth. You wouldn’t give a baby an SAT, and raising taxes to a crip-

Chamber Corner Contributed Article Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce
So far our winter season has been hit or miss, but no matter what the weather brings the annual Presidents Day Weekend Winter Festival will have something for everyone. Without enough ice cover on Chautauqua Lake there will be no ice castle this year. Even without that centerpiece there is still plenty to offer during the three day event from February 12-14 at Lakeside Park in Mayville. The Mayville-Chautauqua Community Chamber of Commerce has been hard at work for many months lining up a full slate of activities, games, and vendors for this fun-filled weekend. There will be food and craft vendors, horse drawn rides, Rainbow the Clown, a Lego Creation building contest, a Chili Cook-off, and lots more. If the weather conditions are right there will also be snowmobile rides, a “Polar Plunge” to benefit the local food pantry, cold water rescue demonstration, a snowball distance throwing contest, a snowmobile flare parade, and a giant snow slide. The festival fireworks display is set for 8 p.m., Saturday, February 13. We encourage you to don some winter gear and head to Mayville to celebrate this season and take part in some of these great activities. If you are able to volunteer during the festival they are always in need of help with many aspects of the event including games, parking, setup and cleanup. If you would like to get involved, please call the Mayville-Chautauqua Community Chamber at (716) 753-3113. To learn more about the festival or to see their full schedule of events check out their website at mayvillechautauqua.org. Our congratulations, in advance, to all of the organizers for another tremendous year of this great Winter Festival. Chamber/MAST Offices in Jamestown Will Move Temporarily The Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce will be moving its Jamestown office into temporary quarters during the coming week. The Chamber and Manufacturers Association of the Southern Tier offices have been located in the Manufacturing Technology Institute building at Jamestown Com-
munity College. With reconstruction and expansion slated to begin shortly at MTI@JCC, the Chamber/ MAST offices are being temporarily relocated to the JCC Annex building, the former elementary school between Second and Falconer Streets across from Russell E. Diethrick Jr. Park. On Friday, February 12, the Chamber’s office in Jamestown will be closed to facilitate this move. For the next several months the Chamber/MAST staff in Jamestown will work from temporary offices on the main floor of the JCC Annex Building, closest to the corner of Falconer and Curtis Streets. Visitors to our office are encouraged to use the parking lot off Falconer Street and the building entrance off Falconer nearest to Curtis. The ramp from the parking lot will accommodate visitors who need handicapped access. Chamber and MAST signs will be posted so that visitors can easily find our offices in the temporary space. We are very fortunate to be co-located with Jamestown Community College both in Jamestown and in Dunkirk. These office locations have allowed us to develop a genuine partnership with a fine educational institution and that has been beneficial to both our organization and theirs as we work together on a variety of issues including workforce development, technology training, and student recruitment into classes offered through MTI@JCC. We look forward to the expansion of the MTI@JCC building and are excited to be part of the planning process with JCC as this new space comes together. When we move back into MTI@JCC several months from now our office space will be brand new, while the building will also include additional classroom and manufacturing training space. Our departure now will allow the contractors better access to the construction area and will hopefully pave the way for a smooth project for all concerned. We are deeply grateful to the entire staff at JCC for assisting us with this temporary move. The Administration and the Buildings and Grounds crew have been very helpful to us and we thank them for their service and their support. There will be no disruption in telephone service during the move and Chamber/MAST staff will do everything possible to respond to inquiries, member calls, and emails during this time. Only
the Jamestown office is affected by this move and it will be closed for one day only, Friday, February 12. When our offices re-open following the Presidents Day Weekend, the temporary office will be up and running in the JCC Annex. The Chamber’s mailing address in Jamestown will remain the same at 512 Falconer Street. The Dunkirk location is not affected by the move and will remain at the JCC North County Training Center. Chamber Networking On Stage at the Reg Lenna February 18 Put some fun into your mid-winter and get an up close and personal look at one of the architectural treasures of our region!

Hultquist Place To Hold Open House On February 24 Contributed Article Lutheran
Hultquist Place Assisted Living Program on the Lutheran Campus is hosting an Open House on Wednesday, Feb. 24 from 3:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. Visitors may enter the Lutheran Campus via Aldren Avenue off of Falconer Street in Jamestown. Tours and light refreshments will be provided. “We wouldn’t choose an apartment or buy a house without first visiting and getting a feel for the
neighborhood and the interior,” said Kathy Lynch, Hultquist Place Administrator. “Even if you are planning for the future, we invite you to come and meet us and see our beautiful facility.” Hultquist Place is a New York State Assisted Living Program that gives seniors access to many different services, so they can stay healthier, more active and independent. There is a full time registered nurse on staff for management of medical issues. All meals are prepared for the residents and laundry services are available. No entry fee is required. “The comment I most often hear is that our new
people wish they had made the decision to move here, sooner,” said Lynch. “For some time they have felt loneliness and isolation. We have a full calendar of activities and opportunities to socialize. Residents have their privacy, yet they know they are not alone.” Lynch and other staff members will be on hand to answer questions and give tours of the beautifully designed suites with private baths and walk-in showers, as well as activity rooms, the beautiful courtyard and common areas.

The Weekly Word SEDUCING SPIRITS
Rev. Timothy Stahlman Family Church Jamestown fcjamestown.org
Have you ever known someone of great Christian character who later fell into a lifestyle of licentiousness or de-
bauchery? The national media salivates at the opportunity to report on a fallen minister. Every local community has their stories of once great local churches that were ripped apart by scandals in the pastorate. You may even know laymen servants who were once so dedicated to church and family who are now not even a reflection of their former selves. As a pastor, I can personally testify that I have witnessed wonderful Christian people cast away their faith in exchange for something that just yesterday was unimaginable to them. I have had the "salt of the earth" sit across from me and lie with an ungodly
talent that surpasses the best poker player in the world. Typically, we often think that such a person's faith was never real in the first place. We usually concede their entire Christian experience as bunk. Most Christians are willing to throw such a brother or sister on the spiritual junk heap without ever considering how this happened in the first place. Be careful: You may become who you are willing to attack. Galatians 6:1 says, "Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, YOU WHICH ARE SPIRITUAL, restore such a one in the spirit
of meekness, CONSIDERING YOURSELVES, LEST YOU ALSO BE TEMPTED." I have seen this too many times. People go on a witch hunt for the brother or sister that fell. This just proves how unspiritual people are. Truly spiritual people first think of how to restore a fallen brother. Then they consider themselves, they examine their own lives, and learn to take heed knowing that it just as easily could have been them. This is what we have failed to understand: Some of these cases were the result of a person giving heed to seducing spirits. 1 Timothy
4:1 says, "Now the Holy Spirit speaks expressly that in the latter times, some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils." We have forgotten to look behind the veil and see that there are forces pulling on people that we cannot see. The Bible tells us that there are certain demonic agents that are assigned to persuade people off the right path. These spirits seduce as to make the "grass seem greener" on the other side. These spirits will try to convince you that another woman would satisfy you more than your wife. These spirits will tell you that a life of
premarital sex is better than living for God. These spirits will do everything in their power to make serving God seem lonely. They make worldliness seem appealing. These spirits try to make the temporal seem eternal. A person that is filled with God's Word and Spirit can identify such things and bring help to a person under the influence of seducing spirits. This is why every Christian needs a strong pastor. Also, in my experience, every person I have spoken to that fell to these spirits, all testify that they spent very little personal time in prayer and Bible study.

Ethos To Present NewSound Concert Series
Contributed Article Fredonia
The 16th Annual NewSound Festival will take center stage at the State University of New York at Fredonia beginning in February. Hosted by the Ethos New Music Society, the festival will focus on contemporary performances and hold nine events featuring performers and composers including three Student Composer Concerts and six special guests: A/B Duo, Decho Ensemble, Acropolis Quintet, Jonathan Newman, Roomful of Teeth and Jennifer Higdon. The first guest, A/B Duo, will perform Friday, Feb. 12 at 8 p.m. in Rosch Recital Hall. It will be preceded by a lecture at 4 p.m. in Mason Hall Room 2019. The duo has commissioned many pieces that vary widely in style and instrumentation – from djembe and contrabass flute to Nintendo Gameboy and drum set. Concert-goers can expect a wide range of innovative music, while attendees of the lecture will hear the group's insights on being working professionals in the realm of contemporary music. Since being formed in Chicago in 2013 by percussionist Christopher G. Jones and flutist Meerenai Shim, A/B Duo has performed at the Spectrum in New York City, the Green Mill in Chicago and The Center for New Music in San Francisco, as well as Eastman School of Music and Oberlin Conservatory. The concert is free and the public is invited to attend. NewSound will also present three Student Composer Concerts featuring Fredonia composers and performers, slated for Monday, Feb. 15, Wednesday, March 2, and Wednesday, April 6. All Student Composer Concerts take place at 8 p.m. in Rosch Recital Hall and are free and open to the public. Hailed as a “winning combination in every way!” the Decho Ensemble will perform on Wednesday, Feb. 17 at 8 p.m. in Rosch Recital Hall. The ensemble
was founded in 2011 by Fredonia alumni saxophonists Sarah Marchitelli, ‘11, and Jacob Swanson, ‘12, and includes current graduate saxophonists Nicholas Childs and Jared Yackiw. The group will be performing works of new music written for saxophone duo and quartet, including works by Eric Moe, Dimitri Terzakis, Dr. Rob Deemer and more. Admission is free and all music enthusiasts are invited to attend. Mr. Swanson and Ms. Marchitelli share their passion for music, the saxophone and collaboration with their students. Marchitelli serves on faculty at Fredonia and is the Director of Instruction at Infinity Visual and Performing Arts in Jamestown. Swanson teaches instrumental music for the Gowanda Central School District, the New Horizons Band of Western New York and Jamestown Community College. Both Marchitelli and Swanson maintain private studios at Infinity Visual and Performing Arts where they founded and co-direct the Infinity Saxophone Ensemble. Mr. Childs serves as a Teaching Assistant for the Saxophone Studio at Fredonia and Mr. Yackiw is the president of the Ethos New Music Society at Fredonia. The Acropolis Quintet will perform a free concert on Friday, Feb. 26 at 8 p.m. in Rosch Recital Hall. It became the first ever reed quintet to win the Fischoff Gold Medal in 2014. The quintet has released two studio albums to critical acclaim and commissioned more than 25 reed quintet works to date. The group includes saxophonist Matt Landry, Clarinetist Kari Dion, oboist Tim Gocklin, bassoonist Ryan Reynolds and bass clarinetist Andrew Koeppe. Jonathan Newman composes music rich with rhythmic drive and intricate sophistication, incorporating styles of pop, blues, jazz, folk, and funk into otherwise classical models. He received the Charles Ives Scholarship from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and holds degrees from Boston University's School for the Arts and The Juilliard School. His pieces have been performed across the U.S. and in England. The Fredonia Wind Symphony will give a
free concert featuring two of Mr. Newman’s works on Feb. 29 at 8 p.m. in King Concert Hall, and there will also be a free chamber concert including works of Newman’s on March 1 at 8 p.m. in Rosch Recital Hall. Roomful of Teeth is a GRAMMY-winning vocal project dedicated to mining the expressive potential of the human voice. Through study with masters from singing traditions the world over, the eight-voice ensemble continually expands its vocabulary of singing techniques and, through an ongoing commissioning process, forges a new repertoire without borders. Roomful of Teeth will also give a concert on Tuesday, March 15 at 8 p.m. in Rosch Recital Hall. Admission is $8 for students and $12 for the general public,

Pennies 4 Paws Campaign To Begin Contributed Article CCHS
The Chautauqua County Humane Society (CCHS) is excited to announce the eleventh annual Pennies 4 Paws campaign will begin February 12 and will run through the end of April. This year’s campaign will benefit the animals at CCHS significantly by providing lifesaving medical services to animals in desperate need of care. In 2015, CCHS took in 1,683 animals that needed lifesaving medical services. Whether it be preventative care, surgical operations, x-rays, diagnostic testing, diabetes maintenance, dental work, etc., CCHS bears the financial burden that arises from the cost of these services. It costs CCHS $60 to spay/neuter an average size animal. On average, it costs CCHS’ medical department $100 to provide a comprehensive medical exam on an injured animal. A visit to a veterinary hospital for extensive blood work or xrays averages $200 per visit. “With this year’s campaign supporting these lifesaving medical services for animals in desperate need of our help, every penny truly makes a difference,” said Hannah Braun, CCHS Community Relations Coordinator. “CCHS is making great strides in the medical rehabilitation of the animals that enter our shelter. Our community is the driving force behind this success, so we are asking for their continued assistance in providing the best care for these animals.” The Pennies 4 Paws campaign hopes to collect 25 million pennies, or $25,000, by the end of the campaign. Sponsored by Media One Group, CCHS encourages schools, social organizations, individuals and businesses to fundraise in a variety of ways, including bake sales, school hat days, dress down days, pop bottle/can

This way we can try to reach goals that matter in the context of an entire future, not just a single year ahead. I will embrace uncertainty – Tomorrow will most likely not be like today, the future is unknown. Instead of opting to stay in the dark we need to attempt to learn as much as we can about advances and trends happening in business, technology, education, culture, and work. Read and be informed. I will seek opportunities – We all have some kind of issues with change but it is inevitable. We should try to view change as an opportunity not a threat. I will learn to relax – Relaxation techniques are designed to produce the body’s natural relaxation response. I will stop and reflect - Try journaling and practice mindfulness. I will volunteer – We get a sense of purpose and helping others makes us feel good plus we can make new friends. Even if we are disabled there are plenty of ways to help out.
I will remove and improve – After reflecting we may decide to drop certain activities and relationships which are no longer productive or useful and then we work on improving what remains. Think about what or who in our lives are detriments and gradually shed them from our lives. I call these things “dead branches” which need lopped from our lives. I will resolve to create a space for risk - Take that first step to try something new, take a class, join a book club, I will view my body as a fine tuned engine – We wouldn’t put sand in our lawn mowers why do we put junk food in our bodies. We don’t buy a car and never drive it, why would we not keep our bodies active and moving as in “exercise”. I will take baby steps for diet change – Don’t resolve to cut all sugar or carbs from your diet opt instead to give up that high fat sugar laden morning donut or fancy high fat, high sugar coffee concoction.

WMHF Annual Campaign Surpasses Goal; Raises More Than $250k Contributed Article Westfield Memorial Hospital Foundation
Westfield Memorial Hospital Foundation announced its 2015 Annual Campaign was a tremendous success exceeding its goal by $53,700, for a total of $256,700. A wide range of support from a cross section of the hospital’s service area and beyond made the Annual Campaign’s incredible achievement possible. “It’s clear that our community not only takes pride in Westfield Memorial Hospital and its foundation, the community also places their trust in us to make the best use of its philanthropic support,” said Rose Van Volkenburg, president of the WMHF. “The funds raised during the annual campaign will help the hospital to bring an Upgraded Emergency Department to the forefront.” This endeavor will soon become a reality for all those who seek outstanding healthcare in our region. Patricia DiPalma, director of development said that the foundation also received grants from the Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation, Phillips Lytle Attorneys at Law, Ripley Community Heritage Fund and the Walmart Foundation. In addition, contributions also were received from individuals, hospital and foundation board members, medical staff, auxiliary members, WMH associates as well as businesses, civic organizations and churches. Substantial gifts from Hans and Barbara Bergstrom, a bequest from the Helen Butler Estate and a gift from Adeline Meyers in memory of her husband, Ralph C. Meyers, added to this year’s outstanding annual campaign success. “I am thrilled that the people of our community once again demonstrated its compassion for patients and their loved ones at Westfield Memorial Hospital and rallied to not only meet, but to exceed our goals,” DiPalma said. “During this campaign, we made a promise to our community to provide the very best in patient care and state-of-the-art medical equipment.

What Lies Do You Believe?
By Brad Jarrett Contributing Writer
This concept was taught to me by my friends Sean and Courtney Garner; they say there are two types of truths in life. One type has a lower case “t” attached to it (truth); the second has a capital “T” (Truth).
What they’d say next is capital “T” Truths are always greater than lower case truths. That sounds great, but what does it mean? There are things in life that are true; undeniably. Sadly, they aren’t always the best truths. Oftentimes they’re things we’d like to hide, or even wish away. An example is a woman who’s 20lbs overweight. If the scale consistently reads it, and her doctor confirms; it’s truth. There’s no questioning. But this is a lowercase “t”, meaning there is yet a higher Truth left to be uncovered. Here’s how the scenario would play out; the woman sees the scale and listens to her doctor, meaning she’s aware of her weight. She then allows the scale (a $3 piece of plastic) to
tell her how “fit” or “unfit” she is. This, in essence, makes her accept a lower case “t” truth as ultimate reality by allowing weight to define her, and steal joy. This scene plays out thousands of times each day, as we fail to see the greater “T” Truth at hand. This Truth states, no matter how overweight, or down trodden we become, the ability to change fitness levels, lose weight, and lead a healthy lifestyle is in our hands. So yes, you may be 20 pounds overweight, maybe even 120, but no matter how far you’ve strayed there is always a way back, because YOU have the ability to change your life. As we look for capital “T’s” a different life perspective is formed. We look through the
lens of hope, and congruent action which are the ingredients for change. So ask yourself: What “t” truths have I been believing? Which have I allowed to define me? These could be anything from; “I’m overweight, I struggle from depression, I have no friends” to, “I’m poor, or I’m bad at basketball.” They come from all over the spectrum, and you know what? They’re true. Maybe you are depressed, lonely or poor, I’m not denying the fact; I’m saying there is a bigger picture to look at. The fact can NOT be changed; you’ve been given the tools to overcome adversity, and the choice of whether or not you’ll use them. The pattern of ac-
cepting situations or thoughts you’re unhappy with must be broken! It’s a dishonor to yourself, and others when you choose to let the gifts you’ve been given go unused. Your job this week is to take inventory of your life and find the “t” truths that have snuck into your mind. We call this stage Driving Awareness, as you can’t remove things until you’re aware of their existence. You must then capture these thoughts, and put them in submission to the greater Truth. You may be surprised at what you find, but you can’t be scared to take a step forward. You have the ability to change your life. That’s the “T” Truth. Fitness Will Be Greater.
American Heart Month 2016 - From the Heart
By Tonja Dodd Contributing Writer
Give your loved ones a gift from the heart by supporting each other in a quest for heart health. Buddy up on an exercise regimen. Share heart healthy recipes. Offer support in quitting cigarettes. Join a weight loss group together. All of these activities will help prevent America’s number one killer - heart disease.
Every year the NHLBI highlights heart health and heart disease prevention during the month of February because it causes more deaths than any other condition or injury for both men and women. About 610,000 die yearly - that is 1 in every 4 deaths, die from heart disease (292,188 women and 307,225 men in year 2009), ranking above all cancers combined. Heart health is also promoted during this month to inform the public that it can be prevented - the key modifiable risk factors for heart disease include: Smoking, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol and high triglycerides, overweight/obesity, physical inactivity, diabetes and pre-diabetes and Metabolic syndrome. Risk factors you cannot change include: Family history of early heart disease, age (55 and
older), history of preeclampsia, gestational diabetes or pregnancy induced hypertension during pregnancy, sleep apnea, stress or depression. More risk factors include drinking too much alcohol, taking birth control pills (particularly for women who are over age 35 and smoke), having anemia and an unhealthy diet. One interesting effect of risk factors for heart disease is called the multiplier effect – if you have 1 risk factor it doubles your risk, 2 risk factors quadruple your risk and 3 or more may increase your risk more than tenfold. So support each other in living a heart healthy lifestyle by preventing/eliminating as many factors as you can. So, give that gift from the heart and say, hey, isn’t it time to quit smoking - how can I help? Would you like to come
over for a heart healthy meal this week? Or, I am going to the gym tonight, want to join me? Post on social media and let all your friends know that you are practicing heart healthy habits. Since nutrition and weight are such a big part of heart health, I’d like to share a few tips for cooking heart healthy - instead of thinking about what you cannot have, think about how you can make all the healthy foods tasty and filling. Stock your pantry with a variety of spices. Or better yet, grow your own and have fresh herbs available all the time. Stock your refrigerator and freezer with whole foods including many vegetables and fruits, lower fat dairy products and lean cuts of meat and lots of fish. Speaking of fish, salmon is a favorite of mine - here is a quick
yummy recipe. Whisk 1 cup low-fat or non-fat plain yogurt with 2 teaspoons dried dill, 3 tablespoons of finely chopped scallions, 2 tablespoons each of dijon mustard and lemon juice. Place 1 1/2 pounds of wild-caught salmon, skin down in a baking dish that has been lightly sprayed with cooking spray. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon each garlic powder and black pepper and spread sauce on the salmon. Bake until opaque, about 20 minutes. Garnish with an orange and enjoy with a side of asparagus and wild rice. For dessert, have fruit sorbet or bake a healthier quick bread or cookies using applesauce and lower amounts of sugar to make it healthy yet tasty. And don't forget the beverage - hot tea or water with lemon is refreshing and on occasion, a glass of red wine is perfect. Enjoy!

New Radial Access Cardiac Cath Procedure Performed At WCA Heart Center
Contributed Article WCA Hospital
Patients undergoing a cardiac catheterization procedure at the WCA Heart Center now have the option of having the procedure performed through the radial artery in the wrist instead of the femoral artery in the groin. To be a candidate, patients must have dual blood supply to their hands, through both the radial artery and the ulnar artery (90% of patients have a dual blood supply level). Cardiac catheterization is a common medical procedure used to diagnose and treat coronary artery disease, the leading cause of death in the United States today. Coronary artery disease is a condition in which plaque builds up inside the coronary arteries and cuts off the blood supply to the heart muscle ultimately causing angina, heart attacks or sudden death. Cardiologist, James Cirbus, M.D., FACC, board-certified cardiologist on the medical staff of WCA, is using a new technique, radial access catheterization, to perform cardiac catheterization—a procedure that involves using the radial artery in the wrist to gain access to the heart. While entry through the femoral artery is still the most common approach, the radial access catheterization through the underside of the wrist offers a number of benefits. “Most patients are candidates for the new procedure as long as they have a dual blood supply to their hand,” said cardiologist, Dr. Cirbus, who has performed more than 4,700 cardiac catheterizations at WCA. “We are continually raising the quality standards for heart care at WCA through expanding our ability to provide the latest and safest techniques that improve the quality of life for our patients. The new procedure is just another option to perform a cardiac catheterization.” There are several potential benefits for radial access catheterization including, • Minimal bleeding and faster recovery time. • Often a more comfortable procedure than the femoral approach. • Patient can sit upright immediately and regain mobility sooner. • Provides vascular access in certain patients with peripheral vascular disease, morbidly obese, etc. “We have received excellent feedback from our patients who have had the new medical procedure,” adds Lisa Davis, R.N., senior cardiac catheterization nurse at the WCA Heart Center. “In general, our patients find that radial access catheterization is a more comfortable procedure and patients are able to ambulate almost immediately following the procedure.” For more information about radial access catheterization, or the comprehensive array of services available at the WCA Heart Center, visit http://www.wcahospi-
tal.org/heartcenter.php or call (716) 664-8137. About WCA Heart Center The WCA Heart Center combines clinical expertise with the latest technology for diagnosis, treatment and recovery of heart (cardiovascular) disease and related disorders.

VALENTINE'S DAY
CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 2016
A HISTORY OF VALENTINES DAY, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine’s actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death. Other stories suggest that Valentine may have been killed for attempting to help Christians escape harsh Roman prisons, where they were often beaten and tortured. According to one legend, an imprisoned Valentine actually sent the first “valentine” greeting himself after he fell in love with a young girl–possibly his jailor’s daughter–who visited him during his confinement. Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter signed “From your Valentine,” an expression that is still in use today. Although the truth behind the Valentine legends is murky, the stories all emphasize his appeal as a sympathetic, heroic and–most importantly–romantic figure. By the Middle Ages, perhaps thanks to this reputation, Valentine would become one of the most popular saints in England and France. ORIGINS OF VALENTINE’S DAY: A PAGAN FESTIVAL IN FEBRUARY While some believe that Valentine’s Day is celebrated in the middle of February to commemorate the anniversary of Valentine’s death or burial–which probably occurred around A.D. 270–others claim that the Christian church may have decided to place St. Valentine’s feast day in the middle of February in an effort to “Christianize” the pagan celebration of Lupercalia. Celebrated at the ides of February, or February 15, Lupercalia was a fertility festival dedicated to Faunus, the Roman god of agriculture, as well as to the Roman founders Romulus and Remus. To begin the festival, members of the Luperci, an order of Roman priests, would gather at a sacred cave where the infants Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome, were believed to have been cared for by a she-wolf or lupa. The priests would sacrifice a goat, for fertility, and a dog, for purification. They would then strip the goat’s hide into strips, dip them into the sacrificial blood and take to the streets, gently slapping both women and crop fields with the goat hide. Far from being fearful, Roman women welcomed the touch of the hides because it was believed to make them more fertile in the coming year. Later in the day, according to legend, all the young women in the city would place their names in a big urn. The city’s bachelors would each choose a name and become paired for the year with his chosen woman. These matches often ended in marriage. VALENTINE’S DAY: A DAY OF ROMANCE Lupercalia survived the initial rise of Christianity and but was outlawed—as it was deemed “un-Christian”–at the end of the 5th century, when Pope Gelasius declared February 14 St. Valentine’s Day. It was not until much later, however, that the day became definitively associated with love. During the Middle Ages, it was commonly believed in France and England that February 14 was the beginning of birds’ mating season, which added to the idea that the middle of Valentine’s Day should be a day for romance. Valentine greetings were popular as far back as the Middle Ages, though written
Valentine’s didn’t begin to appear until after 1400. The oldest known valentine still in existence today was a poem written in 1415 by Charles, Duke of Orleans, to his wife while he was imprisoned in the Tower of London following his capture at the Battle of Agincourt. (The greeting is now part of the manuscript collection of the British Library in London, England.) Several years later, it is believed that King Henry V hired a writer named John Lydgate to compose a valentine note to Catherine of Valois. TYPICAL VALENTINE’S DAY GREETINGS In addition to the United States, Valentine’s Day is celebrated in Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, France and Australia. In Great Britain, Valentine’s Day began to be popularly celebrated around the 17th century. By the middle of the 18th, it was common for friends and lovers of all social classes to exchange small tokens of affection or handwritten notes, and by 1900 printed cards began to replace written letters due to improvements in printing technology. Ready-made cards were an easy way for people to express their emotions in a time when direct expression of one’s feelings was discouraged. Cheaper postage rates also contributed to an increase in the popularity of sending Valentine’s Day greetings. Americans probably began exchanging hand-made valentines in the early 1700s. In the 1840s, Esther A. Howland began selling the first mass-produced valentines in America. Howland, known as the “Mother of the Valentine,” made elaborate creations with real lace, ribbons and colorful pictures known as “scrap.” Today, according to the Greeting Card Association, an estimated 1 billion Valentine’s Day cards are sent each year, making Valentine’s Day the second largest cardsending holiday of the year. (An estimated 2.6 billion cards are sent for Christmas.) Women purchase approximately 85 percent of all valentines.

SPINACH AND MUSHROOM RAVIOLI
Total Time: 2 hr 15 min Prep: 35 min Cook: 1 hr 40 min Yield:2 servings Level: Intermediate Ingredients 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons for boiling water 6 ounces button mushrooms, sliced 1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry 1/4 cup mascarpone 1/3 cup grated Parmesan, plus extra for garnishing 6 egg roll wrappers (6 1/2 by 6 1/2-inch squares) 2 large eggs, beaten with 1 teaspoon water 1/2 cup mushroom (cremini, shiitake, button), finely chopped 2 cups tomato sauce, recipe follows Salt and freshly ground black pepper Directions Watch how to make this recipe. In a large saute pan heat 1/4 cup of the olive oil. When almost smoking, add the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Cook until all the liquid has evaporated from the mushrooms, about 6 minutes. Add spinach and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and place mixture into the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until you get a coarse texture. Place in bowl and stir in mascarpone and Parmesan cheese. Check for seasoning and set aside. Line up 3 wrappers on a cutting board. Brush with the egg and water mixture. Using a tablespoon, arrange 4 dollops of the filling on each wrapper – 2 on the first row and 2 on the second – 1-inch apart. Place another wrapper directly on top, pressing around the filling and sealing the edges. Using a fluted ravioli cutter, cut out squares of ravioli. Each filled wrapper will yield 4 raviolis, giving you a total of 12 ravioli. Place ravioli onto a floured baking sheet and keep covered with a linen towel. In a large pot, bring to a boil 4 quarts of salted and oiled water. Carefully add small batches of ravioli, about 3 to 4 at a time. This will prevent them from crowding in the pot and sticking together. Cook for
2 to 3 minutes. Using a spider strainer, carefully remove the ravioli and place on the plate. Tent with foil to keep warm and continue cooking remaining ravioli. In a saute pan, heat remaining 1/4 cup olive oil. When almost smoking, add chopped mushrooms and saute until soft and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 8 minutes. Carefully pour in tomato sauce and simmer for 5 minutes. Divide ravioli between 2 serving plates. Top with mushroom tomato sauce and sprinkle with Parmesan. Simple Tomato Sauce: 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil 1 small onion, chopped 2 cloves garlic, chopped 1 stalk celery, chopped 1 carrot, chopped Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper 2 (32-ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
2 dried bay leaves 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, optional In a large casserole pot, heat oil over medium high heat. Add onion and garlic and saute until soft and translucent, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add celery and carrots and season with salt and pepper. Saute until all the vegetables are soft, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add tomatoes and bay leaves and simmer uncovered on low heat for 1 hour or until thick. Remove bay leaves and check for seasoning. If sauce still tastes acidic, add unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon at a time to round out the flavors. Add 1/2 the tomato sauce into the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth. Continue with remaining tomato sauce. If not using all the sauce, allow it to cool completely and pour 1 to 2 cup portions into freezer plastic bags. This will freeze up to 6 months.

SURF AND TURF FOR TWO Total Time: 50 min Prep: 35 min Cook: 15 min Yield:2 servings Level:Easy Ingredients For the Herb Oil: 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper For the Surf and Turf: 6 jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails intact) 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil Juice of 1/2 lemon 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme, plus 2 to 3 sprigs Freshly ground pepper 6 slices pancetta (about 2 ounces) 1 10 -ounce piece beef tenderloin, trimmed Sea salt 8 asparagus spears 1 tablespoon unsalted butter Directions Make the herb oil: Pulse the parsley, chives and olive oil in a mini food processor until smooth. Thin with water, if necessary, and add 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Transfer to a small bowl, cover and set aside. (This can be done up to 2 hours ahead.) Prepare the surf and turf: Toss the shrimp, olive oil, lemon juice, chopped thyme, and pepper to taste in a
bowl. Wrap each shrimp with a piece of pancetta. Preheat the broiler. Arrange the shrimp on a foillined broiler pan. Season the beef with sea salt and pepper, press the thyme sprigs into the meat and set aside. Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus. Put the asparagus in a microwave-safe dish with 1/4 cup water and a pinch of sea salt. Heat a medium ovenproof skillet over high heat and add the butter. When the foam subsides, sear the beef until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Using
tongs, hold the meat and brown the sides. Transfer the skillet to the broiler and cook until a thermometer inserted into the beef registers 125 degrees F for medium rare, about 4 more minutes. Transfer to a cutting board to rest while you cook the shrimp. Broil the shrimp until the pancetta is crisp, about 2 minutes per side. Meanwhile, microwave the asparagus until tender, about 2 minutes. Slice the beef into 4 pieces. Serve with the shrimp, herb oil and asparagus

HOMEMADE BY KATY, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4 apparel. Confession: sometimes I don't change at all and I get away paint free. There have also been other times where I was not as fortunate, and I was unwilling to sacrifice my favorite pair of jeans. Now would be the time to paint your trim if you need to. Our trim in this room was fine so that cut out a lot of time. Next, I took my handy 'Wooster Shortcut Brush' and did all the areas around the trim. This brush is seriously one of the BEST painting tools of all time. It's short and stubby, but it makes it so perfectly easy to get a clean line next to trim. Now that the trim was completed, I filled in the rest with my paint roller. I took a short water break and washed the paint off my hands. Came back and did the second coat, both around trim and main wall space, and then repeated this on each wall. Voila! My room was done. Ok, realistically it was halfway done at nap time and then the other half got done once the kids were in bed that night.
Next came our office. Same story as our bedroom. The second most neglected room. But that was not to be the case in this house. We needed a room that made it easy and pleasant to get things accomplished, and that is what we got. I chose this color from the same swatch that our door color and master bedroom color came from. It was the darkest color and turned out great because our office is a big room with a lot of natural light. Next came Ellie's room. Yes, I know I said the kids' rooms didn't need to be done. I stand by that statement. However, I missed her coral bedroom. Everyone did. So it followed us, but in a slightly different color all thanks to Fredonia Hardware's goofy paint selection. I really had no intention of painting her room at this time, but I saw the most beautiful coral-pink with the other mismixed paints and it was $1. How can you beat that? You can't! Our upstairs bathroom was next. It was going to be the color that ended up in the office, but that particular bathroom
has no windows. Too dark, on to the next option. This was another popular Pinterest color, considered a perfect neutral gray. I had already liked this color and then my best friend painted almost every single room in her house with it. It was a perfect backup color, and will
probably be gracing our downstairs bathroom walls in the future. But that's more than enough for now! As always, thanks for reading, and hopefully some happy painting to you! Oh, and please don't mind the randomly placed stuffed animals hiding in the pictures. Kid life.
GROWTH IS GOOD, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2 pling point rings the death knell for new, and even established, businesses. Increasing business will draw in the populace, rather than expecting them to come in ‘hope’ of something better. Eight years ago, there was an election won on the basis of hope. I’ve not seen fruit of that promise; it’s not a solid foundation, constantly looking to an uncertain future. No, dear readers, we must take the initiative. This area can become a magnet for increase. All it takes is us working together to see that outcome. Let’s do it!

FREDONIA HOCKEY EVENT CONTINUES TO DRAW SUPPORT By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
For nearly a decade, the Fredonia hockey team has been bringing a community together with its Pink The Rink event at Steele Hall. Pink jerseys. Pink socks. A packed house. Raffles. Hockey. A band. All of these things go into making Pink The Rink a special event, but when it comes down to it, what really matters is the cancer awareness the event highlights. “It’s such a great event,” Fredonia hockey head coach Jeff Meredith said. “The one thing you see every year is people with a lot of strength and a lot of perseverance that are loved by friends and family. You see people that are battling through tough times. You can’t help but be humbled by the fact that you get to be just a little piece in that.” The event began with then-assistant hockey coach Greg Heffernan, whose own mother was battling breast cancer. He encouraged his sport management classes to wear pink to a hockey game. After that, Meredith and ‘Heff’ decided to really get behind the idea. Pink jerseys and socks were brought into the equation and the event simply took off. “We were the first college team in the United States to wear pink jerseys and socks,” Meredith explained. “It was so novel at the time that we were on ESPN. We took some promotional photos and did up an article. The night before the game, they put the article up on the website. When you Googled it, you could see the New York Times picked it up. The Washington Post picked it up. There were papers in Europe that picked it up. It was so exciting.” In the early years of Pink The Rink, the players’ jerseys were actually auctioned off during the game. While that was exciting for fans and players alike, after a few years the format was changed. Now, the jerseys are sold beforehand and each donor can pick what name is going to be on the back of the jersey. People have honored their mothers, daughters, aunts, girlfriends, wives, friends and more. “This year I’m going to be wearing my aunt’s name on my jersey,” junior forward Hunter Long said. “She’s a new survivor. It’s really special.” The proceeds from the event have always gone (and will con CONTINUED ON PAGE 33

Are The Sabres Still Terrible? By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

SPORTS COMMENTARY, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 24 the net. After drafting Jack Eichel and bringing in both Ryan O’Reilly and Evander Kane (among others), the Sabres were supposed to put a much better product on the ice. In fact, some pundits were foolish enough to think this team could make the playoffs. Needless to say, that isn’t going to happen. Not this season, at least. The question is, however, are the Sabres still terrible? A quick look at the standings would lead to an unquestioned “yes” in answer to that. As of Monday morning, Buffalo has 48 points, which ranks higher than just three teams in the entire NHL — all three of those teams have 47 points. The Maple Leafs are considered the worst team in the league by some, yet they have two games in hand to pass Buffalo in the standings. Columbus has actually gone 6-3-1 in its past 10 games and could easily pass the Sabres if it continues to play well. Edmonton just got its best player back from an injury. Can Conner McDavid directly lead to wins? Maybe not, but after watching that goal he had in his first game back, I wouldn’t doubt him. Well that didn’t answer my question, did it? All I’ve mentioned is that the Sabres are buried in the standings along with some of the league’s most pathetic teams. Let’s take a closer look at the Sabres as a team. Goal scoring has once again been the team’s biggest weakness. The team currently sits in 28th (out of 30) with just 2.26 goals per game. They’re just a hair above both New Jersey and Anaheim. The team has just five players that have scored double-digit goals. For comparison, the Capitals have eight players with double-digit goals, including Alex Ovechkin’s 30 goals. Gosh that dude is good at playing hockey. For the purposes of sheer goal scoring, the Sabres do have an excuse. Tyler Ennis was pretty easily their best player for the previous few seasons. He was their top scorer last season. But Ennis hasn’t played in a game in the calendar year thanks to an injury. In fact, head coach Dan Bylsma was just quoted as saying Ennis’ return is “not imminent.” That doesn’t bode well. Even before the injury, Ennis wasn’t performing at a high level with just 11 points in 23 games. Long story short, the Sabres expected to get an awful lot more from Ennis. An injury to starting goaltender Robin Lehner did nothing to help the Sabres’ situation, either. Linus Ullmark and Chad Johnson split the start-

ing duties while Lehner was out. They were probably better than expected with Johnson sporting a 2.43 goals against average and Ullmark sitting at 2.58. Lehner, however, has come back and sported a 2.17 goals against average. To the untrained eye, that might not look like much, but trust me that it is. If he had enough playing time to qualify for the league league, Lehner’s average would rank 10th in the NHL. So injuries and a glaring inability to put the puck in the net have crippled this team in the standings, but surely they’ve done something well, right. Yes, absolutely. The Sabres currently have the seventh best power play in the NHL, converting on just over 20 percent of their chances. I can’t imagine many people had Buffalo pegged as a top-10 power play coming into the season. As for the penalty kill, the Sabres are 15th, which ranks right in the middle of the league. Again, that’s probably better than many experts were expecting from Buffalo. It’s also a better number than might be expected from a team so low in the standings. Often the teams at the bottom of the standings are there because they can’t convert or kill off penalties. Clearly that isn’t Buffalo’s problem this year. I’ve heard many people blaming the defense, but honestly, they’ve been solid if not flashy. At 15th in the league in goals against average, the Sabres are again right in the middle of the pack. What’s wrong with that? Ryan O’Reilly has the most faceoff wins in the league, so they have that in their corner, too.
So what exactly is to be made of the Sabres? If they’re middle of the pack or better in so many statistical categories, are they still terrible? It pains me to say this about our “hometown” team, but yes. It certainly seems like they’re still terrible. If you haven’t noticed, the winner of a hockey game is the team that puts the puck in the net more often than its opponent. The Sabres just aren’t good at putting the puck in the net. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m extremely excited for this team’s future. There is a ton of talent here and it seems Dan Bylsma is the right guy for the job. Sam Reinhart and Jack Eichel are the team’s past two first-round picks and are clearly worthy of the hype. They’re just so young that it’s going to take a few seasons before they reach their full potential. How exciting is that proposition? As good as Jack Eichel looks now, he’s assuredly going to get much, much better as he learns the NHL game further. With guys like O’Reilly and Evander Kane locked up, there’s quite literally no reason at all to think that this team can’t compete very soon. Add in the fact that being buried in the standings this season could lead to another top prospect joining the ranks through the next draft and Sabres fans should be happy to be alive right about now. It’s just that…for one more season…they’re going to be terrible. Stefan Gestwicki is the sports editor of the Chautauqua Star.

Star Sports Editor
You know you’ve been waiting for this. You have, right? No? Well, you’re getting it anyway, so sit back, relax and envision green grass, straight drives and sinking long putts. The year 2015 will not be remembered for a great golfing year in Western New York. In case you’ve forgotten, our area was hit with some pretty serious flooding in April. Maybe it was May. I don’t remember. Either way, our golf season was decimated as courses tried desperately to repair damage and get carts out. For me personally, it wasn’t a great golfing season even after the flooding was past. First off, I just simply didn’t play well. Secondly, my main golfing partner Bryan went back to school in August and we rarely played after that. I tried to play more with my wife, but that didn’t work terribly well, either. Because I’m such a stat-head, I once again saved as many scorecards as I could from this past year and compiled my averages for each hole at each course. There were three courses that I played at least four rounds at. Therefore, my stats include Pinehurst in Westfield, Cassadaga Country Club and Hillview in Fredonia. Hillview was the least frequently played course, but it was also where I felt like I played the best. Do the stats back me up? Let’s take a look. Cassadaga Country Club is the course I actually finished the most rounds of. It was also the course with my highest average at 46.3. My best round was 42 and my worst was (gulp) 50. At CCC, it appears that No. 5 was my best hole, averaging 4.8 strokes per round, which is just .8 over par. No. 4 would have been my guess as I remember hitting some monstrous drives on that one, but it was tied for second at 4.9, or .9 over par. The biggest shock (in a good way) was actually No. 1. It’s a fairly difficult par 4 thanks to the creek splitting the fairway and the difficult, large green with multiple sand traps. Yet my average of 4.9 was just .9 over par. My biggest shock (in a bad way) was the very next hole, No. 2. On paper, this should be the easiest hole on the course. It’s basically wide open, the creek plays almost no role and it’s relatively short. Yet I averaged an embarrassing 5.3 on the par 4. Unsurprisingly, my actual worst hole came from No. 8. For anyone who has played CCC, there’s no reason to explain this. It’s a par 3, but I averaged 5.5 on it. That’s a sure-fire way to kill your round, huh? The very next hole is the par 5 and my average was just slightly higher at 5.6. Hmm, that technically makes No. 9 my best hole on the course. Interesting. Pinehurst is where I played slightly better with a nine-hole round average of 45.8. The spread wasn’t quite as steep here with a low round of 42 and a high of 48. Looking at the scores, nearly every round played out the same. Whether that is a good thing or a bad thing is open to interpretation. The biggest takeaway from my Pinehurst scores was my success on the pair of par threes. My average on No. 4 was just 3.7 while on No. 7 that rose ever so slightly to 3.8. I only had one double-bogey on either of those all season and it came in
F
B e B W o q my very first round of the year. I’ve come such a long way with the irons off the T P tee box. This used to be my ultimate weakness. I simply couldn’t hit the ball N where I wanted on short holes. a There were no downright terrible holes at Pinehurst except for maybe No. 8, which has a long history of murdering my would-be good rounds. It just seems a N little far for a par 4, though it might just be in my head. The funny part is that I M love playing this hole. I love driving over the pond and then trying to stay on that S t slightly elevated green with danger to every side. I love it. I just stink at it. Hillview didn’t get played until well past the halfway point of the season. I can’t B exactly put a finger on why that happened since it’s close to my house and a very 1 nice course. Either way, by not clogging up the averages with some early-season L stinkers, Hillview actually had my best nine-round average at 45.5. As at Pinehu- f rst, my low was 42 and my high was 48. Apparently I just couldn’t break 42 last a year. a Once again, it was the par threes that really helped lead to some nice scores. No. A 5 had an average of just 3.8 while the relatively long No. 9 was a fairly astounding 2 (because I have a history of stinking at this one) average of just 3.5. There were noB birdies on either of those, but I’ll usually take a plethora of pars. F Something that stands out in my mind at Hillview was my inability to make w birdie (or the ensuing par) putts on No. 1. It became something of a running joke with Bryan that I would always, always, always be on the very front right of the T green after my second shot. Normally that would be a great thing, but on No. 1 I i just couldn’t sink a putt. Some of my attempts weren’t even close. That’s especiallyt strange when you consider just how nice Hillview’s practice green is. There’s re- O ally no excuse for not having your putting going by the time you tee off. Seriously, t that’s a nice green. So there it is. It was actually a little depressing going through some of these stats. No. 2 at Cassadaga? Really, me? That’s the best you can do? It’s going to be a happy day when I can bring those clubs back out of the basement. Maybe this will finally be the year I make my birdie putts. Hey, it could happen. What about you? Are you a stat geek like I am? Do you track your scores at all? I’d love to hear about weird blips in your game like certain courses or holes being abnormally good or bad. C It’s also never too early to think about tournaments. If you have a tournament F that you’re running or playing in, please let me know. I’ll put it on my calendar and do my best to get it in the Chautauqua Star. F Thanks for all the feedback I receive on The Golfer’s Diary. It makes me happy F to talk golf with people.

Fast-Starting Panthers Beat Sabres, 7-4 By John Wawrow AP Hockey Writer
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) -- Shut out one night. On fire the next. It took Reilly Smith and the Florida Panthers a little under 21 minutes to score four times en route to a 7-4 win over the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday night, and put behind their offensive struggles following a 3-0 loss at Detroit. ''You get that first goal, and it's huge,'' Smith said. ''I think it was a great start for our team and a good bounce-back game after last night.'' Smith opened the scoring 7:40 in with a one-timer from the right circle that banked in off the crossbar. He added an assist before closing the scoring with an empty-netter The Atlantic Division-leading Panthers snapped an 0-1-1 skid in which they scored just twice, and totaled seven goals for the second time this season. They won despite playing on consecutive nights, and minus top-line center Aleksander Barkov, who was sidelined by an upper-body injury sustained in the second period against the Red Wings. ''We needed to have a bounce-back game,'' added Jussi Jokinen, who had a goal and two assists. ''We didn't create enough (against Detroit), and we wanted to change that tonight.'' The Panthers took control 22 seconds into the second period, when defenseman Alex Petrovic scored on a bouncing shot to make it 4-0 on just 12 shots and chase Sabres starter Robin Lehner. After Buffalo rookie Sam Reinhart scored a pair of power-play goals, the Panthers stemmed the Sabres' momentum by scoring the next two before the second period was over. Brandon Pirri deflected in Brian Campbell's point shot, and Jaromir Jagr snapped a shot that beat backup Chad Johnson with 2:07 left. Roberto Luongo stopped 30 shots to improve to 14-2-2 in his past 18 starts. Luongo appeared in his 906th career game, tying Glenn Hall for sixth on the NHL goalies list. The Panthers improved to 8-0-2 in their past 10 games at Buffalo, where they

The Sabres are 1-7-2 in o their past 10 home games, and 9-16-3 overall. M The Sabres blamed this loss on too many miscues, defensive breakdowns and n poor goaltending. C ''We gave them the opportunities,'' coach Dan Bylsma said. ''That's how we played, and that's disappointing. We battled and we've played hard in a lot of games recently. And it wasn't there for us tonight.'' Lehner was caught out of position by failing to protect the short side on two of the four goals he allowed.

Ulrich Award was created and is presented annually to the top collegiate male track and field athlete from a non-Division I school. Before that, Ulrich set the Kenmore West High School record in the discus (167 feet, 3 inches) and placed third in the New York State championships in 1965; set the javelin record (241 feet, 1 inch) at Indiana State University where he earned All-American status, was named the ISU Athlete of the Year (in 1968) and was a U.S. Olympic Team qualifier; and coached the Lockport High School track & field team to the Section VI Class AAA title each year from 1969-72.
Other Ulrich milestones include: North American javelin champion (60-and-older division) in 2008; multi-year participant and record holder at the Empire State Games where he served as the torch-bearer for the opening ceremonies in Syracuse; and serving as a representative for all of track and field on the University Presidents Council on Ethics in Athletics from 1994-96. ——— Tickets for the CSHOF induction dinner are $50 and are available at Matt's News in Dunkirk or the Jock Shop in Jamestown.

PINK THE RINK, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 24 tinue to go) to the American Cancer Society. Of course, the jersey sales are not the only fundraiser at Pink The Rink. “Every year they have raffle baskets,” Meredith noted. “Helen Leysath, who works in our registrar’s office here, has probably been our biggest crusader here on campus. Helen is the advisor for Tau Sigma, which is the national transfer honor society. Every year, Tau Sigma gets behind this and Helen goes to the Sabres and the Bills and gets jerseys and sticks and those get raffled off. Helen has been at every hockey game in January selling raffle tickets. She puts in a ton of time and energy.” For Meredith, there are both positives and negatives to coaching in such a highprofile game. “It’s a great thing having a full house,” he started, “but it’s a hard game to coach, I’m not going to lie. There are a lot of distractions. There are a lot of things going on. First of all, you’re wearing pink jerseys. Number two, you come out for warmups and it’s standing room only. That’s pretty heady stuff right there. You get a huge boost of emotion, but that emotion can get too much. It’s a challenge.” At least one of the players feels the team can meet that challenge. “Everyone on this team has been playing hockey for a long time,” junior forward Frankie Hart shared. “We’ve played in front of big crowds in big games. Obviously a game like this can be a little more emotional, but it’s still a hockey game that we need to win.” As for the action on the ice, Fredonia dropped a hard-fought battle to Canton, 2-1, after Erik Hallin found the back of the net for the tie-breaking goal in the third period. Canton then fought off a Fredonia power play later in the period to hang on for the win. Marcus Ortiz scored his ninth goal of the season in the second period for Fredonia’s only goal. Canton goaltender Josh Erickson made 31 saves in the win.

Broncos Parade Through Denver, Leave Questions For Later By Donna Bryson and Pat Graham Associated Press
DENVER (AP) -- From the top of a fire truck, Von Miller thrust the Super Bowl trophy into the air again and again as the Denver Broncos convoy made its way through streets lined with blue-and-orange clad fans. Behind Miller, the Super Bowl MVP, stood Peyton Manning and DeMarcus Ware. Behind them, the architect of this team and Hall of Famer John Elway. Fittingly, the group traveled the route, which was a bit longer than a mile, in fire truck No. 18 - Manning's number. Will he be back with the Broncos? A question for another time. Because Tuesday was parade day and a million fans - according to an estimate from the city's mayor - showed up to cheer on the Super Bowl champions after beating Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers 24-10 on Sunday. The supporters held up signs and screamed ''Thank you, Peyton!'' at the top of their lungs as they soaked in the sun while basking in the glow of the Broncos' third Super Bowl title - and first in 17 years. Fans packed in tightly along the route, while others watched from balconies, rooftops and even the branches of trees as the players rode by on a series of fire trucks. Backup quarterback Brock Osweiler signed footballs and threw them into the crowd as he rode by on another truck, while Annabel Bowlen, the wife of ailing Broncos owner Pat Bowlen, took a seat next to Miller. Pat Henderson and Melanie Novak usually cheer together at the stadium, where they met at a Broncos game a decade ago in a part of the stands they proudly described as the rowdy south section. During the season, ''it's our responsibility to all the Broncos nation to help the team by yelling,'' Henderson said. The task Tuesday, she said as she stood with Novak along the parade route, was a bit different: ''To have fun and represent Denver.'' The parade followed an outdoor concert by a trio of Colorado bands, including Big Head Todd and The Monsters, near City Hall and the state Capitol. The sea of fans went crazy on the sunny morning as the music started. The smell of marijuana hung over the park, even though smoking pot in public is illegal in Colorado. People gathered for hours before the concert and parade. Classes were in session Tuesday, but schoolage kids mingled in the crowd. Denver schools offered students excused absences if their parents let officials know. Once on stage, Manning acknowledged his teammates and the crowd, but he said nothing of his plans for the future. ''Everybody has really stuck together this year. That's why we're here where we are today, and it's great to be with all these great fans,'' Manning said.

F e ''We brought our mats. We brought our food. We brought blankets for Grandma,'' Amanda Ayce said. Judy Ayce, speaking in Navajo, asked her mother whether she was there for all the Broncos, or especially for Manning. ''Peyton,'' was the answer. ''She just likes watching sports, and she's followed him for years,'' her granddaughter said. Fans began celebrating Sunday night as the clock ticked down on the Broncos' win in Super Bowl 50. That crowd became unruly at times, but officers for the most part watched from the sidewalk. Police reported a handful of arrests, mainly for criminal mischief. On Tuesday, the mood was light. Even some people stuck in traffic near the parade route honked at fans dressed in Broncos jerseys walked on the sidewalk toward the event.

Lake Erie Fishing Hotline Contributed Article NYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation
Free Ice Fishing Weekend: President's Day weekend (February 13-14, 2016) will be a free ice fishing weekend to encourage more New Yorkers to try Ice fishing while many are on winter recess. Residents and visitors age 16 and older will be able to fish the waters of New York State without a license, providing a great opportunity for people to learn about this popular sport. Lake Erie Tributaries This week's warm temperatures, snowmelt and rain had all Lake Erie tributaries at raging high levels. High waters also broke up ice jams at creek mouths, leaving them open for steelhead entry. Cattaraugus Creek is still running high and muddy. There are still plenty of steelhead fishing options for the weekend, as all other creeks have dropped back to fishable levels. Productive wintertime steelhead baits include egg sacs, egg pattern flies, trout bead and small hair jigs tipped with a waxworm (fished under a float). In cold water conditions, it is best to keep drifted offerings slow and deep, as steelhead are more lethargic and hugging the bottom. It is also good to concentrate efforts during the warmest part of the day. 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 Upper river waters are in decent fishing shape, with no floating ice. Recently, spoons and spinners have caught a few trout at Broderick Park. Keep in mind the Ferry Street Bridge remains closed, access to the island is at the bridge on north end.
Ice Fishing Due to warm temperatures and rain, ice coverings have deteriorated on all waters. There is currently no safe ice in the region. Always remember that ice thickness can vary greatly on the same body of water, especially if there are springs, stream inlets or heavy snow cover. Before you head out onto the ice this winter, remember that a minimum of 3 to 4 inches of solid ice (blue or black, not white) is the general rule for safety, for individuals on foot. Five inches of solid ice is more suitable for small groups fishing together. Drilling holes or tapping with a spud bar to check ice thickness is recommended on your way out, or when moving around. Safety ice picks, boot cleats, throw rope and a floatation device are recommended safety supplies. Use good judgment and fish with a friend when possible. Those new to ice fishing can check the Ice Fishing Basics page for more information. See the Lake Contour Maps page for maps organized by county. New ice fishing regulations are in effect. Anglers are now allowed a total of 7 "ice fishing lines" for ice fishing, in any combination. An "ice fishing line" means any device used for fishing through the ice, including but not limited to jigging rod, hand line, tip-up, tip-down, etc. Name and address no longer required on ice fishing devices. Chautauqua Lake No safe ice at present. Shore ice is gone in most places. If you need more fishing information or would like to contribute to the fishing report, please call or e-mail Mike Todd (716-851-7010; michael.todd@dec.ny.gov). Good Luck Fishing! The fishing hotline can also be heard at (716) 679-ERIE or (716) 855-FISH.
