The Cost Of Freedom “Many people put more effort into buying a refrigerator than they do electing a president.”
By Scott Wise Editor
In everything in life, there is balance. Give and take, pull and push. Get too far into one extreme, and you’ll go off the road or get into a ditch, as they say. This past week (yesterday, at the time I’m writing this), the state of Iowa kicked off the 2016 elections with their caucuses. Candidates from both parties swarmed the state in a mad frenzy to garner the most support from their parties and thrust themselves to the forefront of the electoral stage. What a great thing – that we live in a nation
where we have the freedom to elect our leadership. To put into public office those we trust (or try to trust) most to govern the way we want to be governed. But, with much power comes much responsibility (yes, I used that quote). Too many, and I cannot stress this enough – too many people are ignorant to the elections. The wrong people get into office because of those who vote from a place of ignorance or emotion, rather than fact and truth. There are two messages I would plead at the election booth. The first would be to prayerfully consider who you’re voting for, and pray for the right person to get into office. There is someone meant to fill the role of leader of this nation, and
we must look higher than ourselves to discover who that someone is. In a similar light, my second message would be to educate yourself on the vote. I’ve written commentaries about this before, likely four years ago if memory serves. My cry has not changed. We cannot base our vote on color, sex or even creed. I am a Christian, and the first item on my check list is not if the person running is a Christian. It is if they are willing to submit and be led by God and character, and not all Christians fit that bill. To enlighten you, in the weeks leading up to the election, Real Estate Mogul Trump was in the forefront of the national spotlight. As such, his numbers in the polls CONTINUED ON PAGE 4

Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church Fredonia fcfredonia.org
Keeping The Faith Dear Pastor, My pastor mentioned that we should dress our best at church. I thought God “looks at the heart” and doesn’t care about stuff like our clothes. What gives? Dear Keeping the Faith reader, this is a great question! Our culture has always prided itself on individualism and personal freedom. While this is a God-supported gift, we can also choose to use this freedom to burn American flags. Our attitude and understanding of spiritual freedom can also influence our actions toward the things of God, including how we dress at church. Let’s look at this issue. There are many scriptures that talk about honoring God. For example, in Malachi 1:6, "A son honors his father, and a servant his master. Then if I am the Father, where is My honor? And if I am the Master, where is My respect?' says the Lord of hosts to you….” In this scripture God is chastising the priests for presenting inferior meat offerings. The priests “good enough” attitudes
offended God. In John 5:23, Jesus says, “…that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent Him.” Its clear from these scriptures (and many others) that honor is important to God. It is important, therefore, that we need to understand what honor is. If we look up the Biblical word “honor”, it means to act or demonstrate the respect and value of God (Christ) and His sacrifice and blessings given for us. According to one definition, honor requires “proof of faith” or a demonstration of our heart. In your question you mention that “God looks at the heart.” In 1 Samuel 16:7 God declared, “People judge (for a new king) by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." But remember…David’s heart was humble before God and “humility goes before honor (Proverbs 18:12).” So, to respond to your question…it’s not about the specifics of how you dress but that you take the time to present your very best to God as a way to honor
family church F R E D O N I A
Him. We have a saying, “if you only have jeans…wear your best jeans!” If you can honestly say that your decision about how you dress for church comes from a pure, respectful, and humble heart…then rest assured that your actions are pleasing to God.

THE COST OF FREEDOM, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2 reigned supreme. It was a fairly close race between him and Senator Ted Cruz, but all signs pointed toward Trump taking the cake. Then, something amazing happened. The Thursday before the election there was a debate – the secondmost watched show in the history of Fox News, actually. Millions tuned in to watch these people face off about the issues important to voters. But, Mr. Trump chose not to participate. His lack of attention cost him the votes necessarily to win.
Yes, you read that right. His lack of attention. When he was in the forefront, he was in the lead. Remove his spotlight, remove his lead. That’s the premise that it would appear a majority of voters seem to be basing their support on – popularity. It’s high school all over again, only this time the prom king has access to a nuclear arsenal. Dramatic? Maybe a bit, but we’ve got to be centered on this. Our job, our responsibility as free voters, is to educate ourselves. That means research. It means
time. People put more effort into buying a refrigerator than they do electing a president. These things ought not be. So educate yourself, friend. We may not agree on the same vote, but come April 19 (primary day in New York), hopefully you’ll be qualified to make the decision based on truth and not flippant popularity and headlines.

Chamber Corner Contributed Article Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce
As more information begins to surface regarding a $200-million budget item for Chautauqua County, we would like to take a moment to thank Governor Andrew Cuomo for keeping a focus on potential economic opportunities in Chautauqua County. We are very excited and encouraged as this opportunity continues to unfold. The Governor came through in a significant way as a proponent of Repowering Dunkirk and has continued to keep Chautauqua County on his mind in this year’s budget proposal. Whether the project is ultimately a SUNY Polytechnic Commercialization Center or a high-tech drug manufacturing firm or some combination of both, this community is enthused and ready to step up in any way we can to help bring this development to fruition. A project such as this that would create jobs in a high-tech industry is very welcome news. We look forward to learning more as details emerge and welcome the opportunity to work with state and local organizations and potentially a new employer to boost the Chautauqua County economy.

5th Annual North East: Uncorked Beginner Tai Chi Now Offered A Swashbuckling Good Time At Karate Connection Contributed Article North East Chamber of Commerce
The North East Chamber of Commerce is hosting its 5th Annual Wine Walk on Saturday, March 19, 2016. This year’s event, North East Uncorked: The Vintner’s Revenge, invites participants to delve into a swashbuckling mystery and track down stolen pirate treasure as they take to the historic streets of downtown North East, Pa. in search of wine, food, fun and Pirate Adventure! Because of overwhelming demand in previous years, this year’s Uncorked will feature TWO sessions on March 19; one beginning at 2:00pm and another kicking off at 6:00pm. Regional wineries will be paired with restaurants and caterers in downtown businesses. Participants will enjoy wine and appetizers at each location, all the while searching for clues to the location of the stolen treasure of the famed pirate ship, The Vintner’s Revenge. To make the wine walk even more interesting, wenches, first mates, and cutthroat pirates will be out and about downtown giving clues as to just what happened to Captain Redbeard and his trunk of doubloons! In fact, participants are also encouraged to sport their best pirate threads, but it’s not required.

HOMEMADE BY KATY, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 We actually got six meals out of the leftovers! Layer the chicken breasts at the bottom and sprinkle with taco seasoning, or homemade taco seasoning (garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, and a bit of black pepper.) I usually use homemade but I don't measure so I can't say exactly how much of each spice I used. I just made sure that the chicken breasts were well covered. Then I poured the diced tomatoes on top. The bell peppers and onion were sliced into strips and layered on top of the tomatoes. All cooked on low for 8 hours. Your chicken should be cooked to perfection, remove from crockpot and shred using a fork. Place chicken back inside crockpot with veggies. Serve inside fajita shells or taco shells along with a side. Enjoy!! As always, thanks for reading! And happy cooking from HBK!

Opera House Cinema Series To Screen Oscar-Nominated “Trumbo” Contributed Article Fredonia Opera House
The next feature film in the Opera House Cinema Series is “Trumbo,” starring triple award nominee Bryan Cranston. It will be screened on Sat., Feb. 6, and Tues., Feb. 7, at 7:30 p.m. “Trumbo” follows the remarkable life of Dalton Trumbo (Cranston), from his triumph as a Hollywood screenwriter to his persecution by the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) to his determined climb to redeem his name and former glory. In September 1947, Trumbo was one of 43 members of the filmmaking community who received subpoenas to appear before the HUAC to answer questions about the spread of communism in Hollywood. Many of the more famous names – Robert Montgomery, Gary Cooper, Ronald Reagan and Walt Disney – were chosen as “friendly witnesses,” people ready to give the committee what it wanted. But of those 43, 19 of them – a group composed mostly of screenwriters with some directors and one actor – refused to provide evidence. Ten of those who refused would become the “Hollywood Ten.” While many of the Hollywood Ten had worked together in the past and knew each other socially, they were by no means a unified front prior to being called by HUAC. What each held – and what bonded them together – was a belief that HUAC’s intrusion into their personal and political beliefs was unconstitutional and fundamentally un-American. With their lawyers, the Ten agreed to argue that the First Amendment gave them a constitutional waiver from having to answer HUAC’s questions. Congress disagreed and voted to hold all Ten in contempt of Congress. After the Supreme Court refused to hear their appeal, and with no other options, the Ten accepted their punishment. Most were given a $1,000 fine and a year inside a federal prison. But jail time was really only the start of their ordeal. Cranston has received universal praise for his performance and was nominated for an Oscar, a Screen Actors Guild (SAG) award and a Golden Globe for Best Actor. Helen Mirren received a SAG nomination for Best Supporting Actress. The film also was nominated for a SAG award for Best Ensemble Cast (the equivalent of Best Picture). Adam Graham, in the Detroit News, calls the film “a fun, highly watchable film.” Rebecca Keegan, in the Los Angeles Times, calls it “timely in its portrayal of a moment when political speech is dangerously charged, yet unabashedly oldfashioned in the sincerity of its storytelling.” Lou Lumenick, in the New York Post, calls it “a cracking good story; and Cranston does a great job portraying a man who made great sacrifices for his principles.” Ty Burr, in the Boston Globe, says “Cranston's performance is the motor that runs ‘Trumbo,’ and that motor never idles, never flags in momentum or magnetism or idealistic scorn.” Rated R for language including some sexual references, “Trumbo” runs two hours, four minutes. The Opera House Cinema Series is sponsored by Lake Shore Savings Bank. Additional support comes from the United Arts Appeal of Chautauqua County, the Arts Services Initiative of WNY Inc., and the Give for Greatness program. Tickets are available at the door for $7 (adults), $6.50 (seniors & Opera House
members) and $5 (students) the night of each screening. A book of 10 movie passes is available for $60 at the door or online at www.fredopera.org. For more information, call the Opera House Box Office at 716-679-1891. The Opera House is equipped with individualized closed captioning headsets for the deaf as well as with assistive listening headsets for the hearing-impaired. Simply request one from any usher or Opera House staff member. Headset funding provided by Robert & Marilyn Maytum, the John Ben Snow Memorial Trust, the Dunkirk-Fredonia Lions Club, and by a grant from Theatre Development Fund’s TAP Plus program in partnership with the New York State Council on the Arts. The 1891 Fredonia Opera House is a member-supported not-for-profit performing arts center located in Village Hall in downtown Fredonia. For a complete schedule of events, visit www.fredopera.org.

Make sure to wear shoes with good traction and non-skid soles, and stay inside until the roads are clear. Replace a worn cane tip to making walking easier. Take off shoes as soon as you return indoors because often snow and ice attach to the soles and, once melted, can lead to slippery conditions inside. To find out more, read our article on

3 Critical Questions For Your Workout not seeing progress! Just like every aspect of life, when time is spent on improvement we expect to see change. If results don’t come, it’s easy to get frustrated and down trodden, which is why many people have a hard time staying consistent with fitness. The three point checklist is a tool created to take inventory of your workout. It sets consistent parameters for progress, and ensures the constant evoluBy Brad Jarrett tion of your programming. Contributing Writer Here’s how it works; every time you leave the gym, ask yourself 3 simple questions: For decades people have strolled in and out of the gym • Did I feel pain while exerciscompleting the same workout, ing? feeling the same things, and seeing no change in their bod- • Did I enjoy myself? ies. Tell me if I’m mistaken, but • Do I feel better now than I think the definition of insan- when I arrived? ity is doing the same thing Simple; but these questions over and over, while expecting lead to all sorts of discovery. different results. Let’s be real, How? Look at question one; it stinks going to the gym and pain is your body’s way of say-
ing something is wrong, which means it shouldn’t be part of exercise. Make sure you read that correctly; PAIN should not be experienced, discomfort can be expected, as I have never felt comfortable while performing a max effort squat. If you feel something isn’t right, chances are its not. For this reason, you can use pain as tell tale sign things needs to be adjusted. Did I enjoy myself? Fitness needs to be fun, not drudgery. If you don’t enjoy time in the gym; change routines. Change comes in a variety of ways; picking a new slew of exercises, adjusting how you perform current ones (tempo, number of repetitions, etc.) or something more radical, like using “gym time” to take a walk outside, ride your bike, or play active games with your kids. The best part about change is that it brings results! As Dr. Kelly Starrett says, “your body is an
adaptation machine”, meaning it adjusts to any stimulus placed on it. Consequently, if the same exercises are performed for more than a couple weeks, your body will stop adapting as rapidly, leading to decreased results over time. All that’s needed are tiny changes to spark adaptation and get results rolling once again. Do I feel better now than when I arrived? This is PARAMOUNT as it is directly correlated to previous questions, and the chief reason why we attend the gym; to feel better. Multitudes of things play into this answer, a few being pain, and enjoyment. If you experienced pain while working out, chances are you won’t feel great leaving the gym. If exercise isn’t fun, you may leave feeling as though you wasted time, which also doesn’t feel good. Lastly, if you’re consistently leaving run down, and worn out its time to look for change. We have
a tendency to beat ourselves down every time we step in the gym. That’s unsustainable, and ill-advised. You can have days to push yourself, and test limits, but everyday shouldn’t be like that. As we said earlier, your body is an adaptation machine, meaning it needs time to adapt, recover and recuperate. Eventually, it will get broken down to the point where it’s unable to recover well before your next workout, and it’ll be sure to let you know by throwing an injury or two your way. Be smart with fitness, let it serve you. As we always say, “manage fatigue, don’t chase it”. Use the 3 question checklist this week to take inventory. If you consistently answer “No, Yes, Yes” keep up the good work! If not, look for tiny changes, they’ll lead to big results. Fitness Will Be Greater
Healthy Babies
By Tonja Dodd Contributing Writer
One in every 33 babies born in the US are affected by a birth defect. Like most health issues, some defects are genetic or hereditary while others can be prevented when parentsto-be live a healthy lifestyle. A birth defect is a structural change present at birth that can affect almost any part or parts of the body. Defects can
be found before, at or anytime after birth with most found within the first year of life. Some like a cleft lip are easy to see while others like a heart defect or hearing loss are harder to detect. Healthy behaviors that we all should strive for are especially important for expectant moms even before getting pregnant to help prevent birth defects – avoiding cigarettes, alcohol and street drugs; eating healthy and being active are among them. Because an expectant mom may have a pre-existing condition like diabetes or obesity, be on prescription medications, be an older mom (over age 34) or carry a gene that may increase risk of birth defects, seeking regular prenatal care is critical as well. An obstetrician can alert potential risks and refer moms to a genetics counselor
or other specialist to help reduce the risk of a birth defect. A doctor will run standard tests and screening for issues like infections and exposure to hazards of which if treated appropriately or avoided could prevent birth defects. One behavior expectant moms can do to reduce the risk of birth defects includes avoiding cigarettes. Smoking while pregnant could cause cleft lip/ palate, club foot, gastroschisis (a defect of the abdominal wall that requires surgery), or a heart defect, among other health problems like premature or low birth weight. Also, it is important for all members of the household to quit smoking when the baby comes home as second-hand smoke has adverse health effects. Babies who are around cigarette smoke have weaker lungs than other babies and more likely to have problems such as infections and
more frequent asthma attack. Finally, being around cigarette smoke is a risk factor of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Staying away from alcohol is critical in preventing a healthy baby. Alcohol use during pregnancy could cause a number of issues called Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD). The worse of these disorders being fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS), a birth defect condition where a baby is born with a small head, low birth weight and distinctive facial features. Alcohol use during pregnancy also may result in other behavioral and intellectual FASDs such as learning disabilities, attention deficit disorder, low IQ, poor reasoning and behavior problems in adolescence. No amount of alcohol is safe during pregnancy. The use of street drugs and certain medications may be unsafe for
your baby too - tell your doctor of all non-prescription and prescription drugs legal or not that you are using. Eat properly. Studies have shown lack of certain nutrients directly cause birth defects. The most common one is lack of folic acid resulting in spina bifida - spina bifida is a birth defect that affects the spine and is usually apparent at birth - it can cause physical and intellectual disabilities from mild to severe. Be sure to take vitamins as prescribed even before getting pregnant and eat a variety of foods including foods like cereal fortified with folate. This article focused on preventing birth defects and thus is limited in discussing all aspects of promoting a healthy baby - there are additional healthy practices that give babies the best start in life - ask your doctor for more guidance.

SEVEN WINTER SAFETY TIPS FOR SENIORS, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 13 cold temperatures, cover all exposed skin. Use a scarf to cover your mouth and protect your lungs. Your body temperature should never dip below 95 degrees -- if it does get medical assistance immediately. •Fight Wintertime Depression Because it can be difficult and dangerous to get around, many seniors have less contact with others during cold months. This can breed feelings of loneliness and isolation. To help avoid these issues, family members can check in on seniors as often as possible; even a short, daily phone call can make a big difference. Seniors can also arrange a check-in system with neighbors and friends, where each person looks in on one or two others daily. For more information on this topic, read our article on Getting Help with the Holiday Blues.
•Check the Car Driving during the winter can be hazardous for anyone. But it is especially dangerous for older people, who may not drive as often anymore or whose reflexes may not be as quick as they once were. Get your car serviced before wintertime hits -- or ask a family member to bring it to a garage for you. Checking things like the oil, tires, battery and wipers can make a big difference on winter roads. Also make sure your AAA membership is up-to-date in case of emergencies. Learn the Warning Signs a Senior Shouldn't Be Driving •Prepare for Power Outages Winter storms can lead to power outages. Make sure you have easy access to flashlights and a battery-powered radio in case the power goes out. Stockpile warm blankets. Longer power outages
can spoil the food in your refrigerator and freezer so keep a supply of nonperishable foods that can be eaten cold on hand. If the power goes out, wear several layers of clothing, including a hat. Move around a lot to raise your body temperature. Check out this winter weather checklist from the CDC to make sure you have everything you may need. •Eat a Varied Diet Because people spend more time indoors and may eat a smaller variety of foods, nutritional deficits -- especially Vitamin D deficiency -- can be a problem. Nicole Morrissey, a registered dietician in southwest Michigan, recommends consuming foods that are fortified with Vitamin D, such as milk, grains and seafood options like tuna and salmon. •Prevent Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
minutes for a minimum of three to four days a week. Manage Stress • Make time to relax and enjoy life. Find time to laugh. • Visit with family and friends and keep up with hobbies. Limit alcohol and quit smoking • You should have no more than one to two drinks per day. • Talk with your health care provider about quitting smoking. Smoking increases your risk for heart disease and stroke. Ask about local or community programs that can help. Medications If lifestyle changes aren’t enough, your doctor may prescribe high blood pressure medication. Westfield Memorial Hospital, a part Saint Vincent Hospital and the Allegheny Health Network, offers patients in the southwestern New York region the opportunity to see a cardiologist at Westfield. The cardiology team at Saint Vincent Hospital is pioneering the CardioMEMS technology in the region and also offers a full range of cardiology and cardiovascular services. To make an appointment with a Saint Vincent cardiologist at Westfield, call 814-453-7767.
Using a fireplace, gas heater or lanterns can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning. Ensure your safety by checking the batteries on your carbon monoxide detector and buying an updated one if you need to. The most important tip to keep in mind during the colder months is to ask for help. If you need to clear your property of snow and ice, don't hesitate to ask a family member or neighbor, or hire a professional. Arrange rides to the grocery store and doctor's appointments. Many communities have shuttle services specifically for seniors. Don't be afraid to reach out for help. Wintertime certainly poses challenges for seniors, but with a bit of planning and awareness, you will stay healthy and experience the joys of springtime soon enough.

Historic Sites Abound In Erie, Pa. Contributed Article VisitEriePa.com
The history amassed in Pennsylvania is far-reaching. From the battlefields of wars to the innovative thinkers and their inventions that shaped us, Erie, Pennsylvania’s fourth largest city, played an important role in our nation’s history. Here you can re-live the Battle of Lake Erie, the French & Indian War and the Underground Railroad. Erie County was formed in the 1800’s after Pennsylvania purchased the Erie Triangle from the U.S. Government in 1792 for approximately $151,000. Taken from part of Allegheny County, the new county was then named for Lake Erie and the Eriez Native American Indian tribe, which was destroyed by a combination of pestilence and the Seneca nation under Chief Cornplanter in the mid-seventeenth century. The first European settlers in the area were the French, who built Fort Presque Isle on the city’s site in 1753. The French abandoned the fort to the English, who lost it in 1763 at the start of Pontiac’s Rebellion. When General “Mad” Anthony Wayne induced the native tribes to make peace in 1794, the area was opened to settlement. The city was laid out in 1795 and became a port in 1801. In 1813, in what is often referred to as Erie’s proudest historical moment, Commodore Oliver Perry defeated the British in the Battle of Lake Erie. Most of Commodore Perry’s ships were built in Erie. Learn about Erie’s rich waterfront heritage at the Erie Maritime Museum through historical artifacts, exhibits and interactive hands-on displays illustrating the War of 1812 and Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry’s victory over the British during the Battle of Lake Erie. The museum is also the home port of the U. S. Brig Niagara, the Official Flagship of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. When in port, the

Niagara is an educational resource for many and conducts interpretive tours. Erie’s wealth of history doesn’t stop there. Downtown Erie includes several historic sites, most importantly, the newly renovated Thomas B. Hagen History Center on historic Millionaire’s Row (West 6th Street). The History Center is home to the Watson-Curtze Mansion, the Carriage House and the King-Mertens Archive Building. The Carriage House, connected to the archives, houses an Erie gift shop and reading room. If time permits, an interesting side trip in Erie County could include a trip to the Battles Estate, comprised of The Yellow House and The White House. These two historic farmhouses belonged to a well-known banking, farming,
and manufacturing family (Battles) in Girard, PA. The two homes sit on over 132 acres of land which is comprised on fields, forests, and streams, the forest is publicly accessible via marked hiking trails. Erie County boasts two mid-1800’s vintage covered bridges: Harrington and Brotherton’s Crossing. Stop in Waterford PA to see the only statue of George Washington in a British uniform. The statue commemorates Major George Washington’s mission to Fort LeBoeuf to request the French to recognize Britain’s claim to the area. France’s refusal led to the French & Indian War. The nearby Fort LeBoeuf Historical Society/Judson House includes a model of the original fort, numerous exhibits on American Indians and the French and British fur trade.

Erie Chocolate Makers Gears Up For Valentine’s Day By Valerie Myers Associated Press
ERIE, Pa. (AP) — It's the calm before the chocolate storm. Erie chocolatiers are making assorted candies for Valentine's Day, but the longest hours and biggest sales are still ahead. Most will open their shops early and close late Feb. 13 and 14 to make chocolate-covered strawberries, top sellers for Valentine's Day. Erie's big three chocolate makers together expect to sell about 165,000 chocolatecovered strawberries this Valentine's Day. "To us in the business, it's strange that an item that has to be eaten that day is what people want most," said Tony Stefanelli, owner of Romolo Chocolates. "We still see significant boxed candy sales for Valentine's Day, but strawberries will be our biggest sales."
Fresh strawberries covered in chocolate stay fresh only 24 hours, but local buyers have no problem eating them before they go bad, and nudging sweethearts to buy them. "We still sell a lot of other candy in heart-shaped and lace-heart boxes for Valentine's Day, but a lot of women tell their spouses that chocolate-covered strawberries are what they want," said Roman Stefanelli, head confectioner at Romolo Chocolates. And though chocolate shops will extend hours to dip and sell the berries, expect long lines to buy them. "We can't fit everyone inside the building at Valentine's Day. People are lined up outside," said Anthony Stefanelli, head chocolatier for Romolo Chocolates. Romolo Chocolates is owned by the Stefanelli family, which founded Stefanelli's Candies in Erie in 1928. Founder Romolo Stefanelli sold it to sons Art Stefanelli and Tony Stefanelli Sr. in 1955, and it was sold out of the family decades later. CONTINUED ON PAGE 28

ERIE CHOCOLATE MAKERS GEARS UP FOR VALENTINES DAY, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 27 Tony Stefanelli, grandson of founder Romolo Stefanelli, later founded Romolo Chocolates. Sons Anthony and Roman Stefanelli are fourth-generation chocolate makers. Meadville's Joe and Kathy Stainbrook are first-generation candy makers. They bought Stefanelli's Candies last summer and are making candy for their first Valentine's Day at their base at 2054 W. Eighth St. "It's exciting, and a little scary," daughter Connie Guthrie said. "But we have the same crew that's been here for some time, and they know what to expect," including long days at Stefanelli's Candies' shops, also on Sterrettania Road in Millcreek, Buffalo Road in Harborcreek and in the Summit Towne Centre. Chocolate roses, assorted chocolates specially packaged for Valentine's Day and plush toys also are expected to be popular, Guthrie said. Pulakos Chocolates also is owned by Valentine's Day newbies. Mike and Kelly Noel bought the store and candy factory last summer, but Manager Alicia Boyd is a 20-year veteran of the Valentine's Day rush. "Christmas by far is our biggest holiday. We have a lot of corporate customers then," Boyd said. "Easter is also big, but we sell candy for those holidays over weeks. Valentine's Day is our busiest two days." Pulakos will begin covering berries at 4 a.m. on Feb. 13 and at 2 a.m. on Feb. 14. Pulakos' 2530 Parade St. store, not normally open on Sundays, will be open Feb. 14. Hours will be extended there on Feb. 13, and at Pulakos' Millcreek Mall location both days. Pulakos will pair chocolate with a different treat for a Feb. 12-14 Wine & Chocolate Weekend with Lake Erie Wine Country wineries. Valentine's Day treats at Peggy Gray Candies and Gifts on Holliday Road in North Springfield will include chocolate-covered raspberries -- and chocolate-covered strawberries packed in heart-shaped chocolate bowls. "It's a strawberry and raspberry holiday for us," owner Jon Holliday said. Weather soured Valentine's Day 2015 sales. Blowing, drifting snow, temperatures at double digits below zero and wind chill of 37 below kept even die-hard chocolate lovers at home. "We were so busy Friday (the day before Valentine's Day 2015) that the weather Saturday didn't hurt us overall. But sales would really have been booming if it hadn't been so miserable on Valentine's Day," Holliday said. Romolo Chocolates not only will extend hours for Valentine's Day sales but also will sell assorted chocolates at sale prices this Saturday to take some of the heat off sweets sales the following weekend. "We try to get people in to buy early," Tony Stefanelli said. Still, all expect Valentine's Day sales to be brisk, due to our love of chocolate-covered berries. Chalise Bayletts summed it up in an entry for Stefanelli's Candies' Valentine's Day contest on Facebook to win a 1-pound box of chocolate-covered cherries. Readers enter to win by sharing why their "someone special" is sweet. "Daniel, tell them why you love me, and if you don't win, please still get me chocolate-covered strawberries!" Bayletts said.

All-County Musicians To Perform At CLCS
Contributed Article CCMTA
The Chautauqua Lake Central School Auditorium will be the site of the 2016 Chautauqua County Music Teachers Association-sponsored Winter All-County Festival and Concert. The concert will take place on Saturday, February 6 at 5 p.m. This event features the county’s best student musicians from the 18 school districts located in Chautauqua County, in one of several music ensembles. Featured in this festival are the Elementary Band, Women’s Chorus, Percussion Ensemble, Vocal Jazz Chorus, and All-County Jazz Ensemble. The first group on the concert program will be the All-County Elementary Band. Directing this ensemble will be Kyle Kohan, who retired from Frontier Central School District after over 30 years of teaching. She also taught at Williamsville North High School and the Nichols School. Kohan holds a bachelors and masters degree in music education and music performance from the University of Buffalo. She also attended SUNY Fredonia, and has studied extensively with retired Ohio State Clarinet Professor James Pyne. Cynthia Mayo, retired music teacher from Orchard Park Middle School, will conduct the Women’s All-County Chorus. During her 34-year career she acted as the Instructional Leader for Music, directed the school musical, and founded the OPMS Drum Ensemble. In 1997 Mayo began studying World Music Drumming with Will Schmid, and is now on the nationwide teaching staff for the World Music Drumming Curriculum. Mayo has presented workshops, in-services, and residencies in drumming and choral music throughout the US and in Canada. The Brass Ensemble (which alternates every other year with the All-County Percussion Ensemble) will be conducted by Nick DelBello, who currently maintains an active schedule as a trumpeter, pianist, organist, conductor, and educator. 2015-16 marks DelBello’s fifth season as the founding music director of the Buffalo Brass Choir, a 17-25 piece professional brass and percussion ensemble. His recent engagements include serving as a cover conductor for the Southern Tier Symphony Orchestra, guest conductor with the Southern Tier Chamber Strings, and guest conductor with the Freudig Singers of Western New York. Bruce Yates will lead the All-County Vocal Jazz Ensemble. Yates has been director of Vocal Music and Theatre at General McLane High School in Edinboro, PA for the past twenty-seven years where he conducts several vocal ensembles which include: Concert Choir, Holiday Choirs, Broadway Dinner Theatre Choirs, Women’s Ensemble and the very first Vocal Jazz Ensemble in the area. He also teaches Music Theory and Electronic music. His groups have consistently achieved superior ratings in PMEA adjudication festivals and his Vocal Jazz Ensemble has been invited twice to perform at PMEA’s All-State Conference. The last group of the concert will be the All-County Instrumental Jazz Ensemble, featuring several of the best high school student jazz musicians in Chautauqua County. Keith R. Young will lead this group. Young is professor of Music at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, where he teaches saxophone performance
studies and directs the IUP Jazz Band, musical Pit Orchestras, and classes in woodwind methods and music theory. In 1998 he retired as the principal saxophonist with the U.S. Air Force Band in Washington, D.C. With that ensemble, he performed on saxophone and piano with the Concert Band, Saxophone Quartet, Jazz Protocol Combo, Orchestra, and Dixieland Band, touring throughout the world. The organization for this festival begins nearly ten months prior to the program. Each student is selected first by their school’s music teacher. That list is pared down by the CCMTA chair people, who then select the students (in some cases by audition, teacher recommendation, or through a score received by playing a solo for a New York State-certified music adjudicator) who make the final roster for each group. Other duties of each chairperson include finding the guest conductor to lead the group, compiling and disseminating music to each of the students selected for the ensemble, and organizing any rehearsals prior to the day of the festival. At long last, the chairperson’s final act is to introduce the guest conductor. It then becomes the students’ moment to shine, showcasing their hard work and talent to an enthusiastic audience of over 500. The concert itself lasts under two hours, but the time and preparation that go into the festival far exceed that moment in time on stage. Students begin rehearsing their music with their teacher as soon as they receive it sometime in early December from their Chairperson. They may then be required to attend one or two additional rehearsals throughout the months of January and February. On the day of the concert, these dedicated music students begin arriving at the school between 8:00 and 8:30 a.m., for a prompt 9:00 a.m. rehearsal start. The day continues with rehearsals, lunch, and a few small breaks in between, until 4:30 p.m. when the last students dress for the 5 p.m. concert start time. Tickets will be available at the door, $5.00 for adults and $3.00 for seniors and students. This festival is graciously sponsored in part by the Fund for the Region and the Reg and Betty Lenna Fund at the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation. In addition to the Winter All-County Festival, CCMTA provides scholarships to area music students to aid the student in continuing music education; sponsors a Solo Evaluation Festival, where students prepare and play for a New York State-certified music adjudicator who in turn provides the student with valuable comments and tips on how to improve his or her musicianship; and hosts a Spring All-County Music Festival each year featuring the Elementary, Junior High, and Senior High Choruses, and the Junior and Senior High All-County Bands, held in the Amphitheater of the Chautauqua Institution on Saturday, June 6, 2016 at 7:30 pm.

Fredonia Unites COMMUNITY SCORES WIN FOR FOOTBALL PROGRAM

Contributed Article Georger Richert, WIVB News 4
Parents took a goal line stand Monday night in Fredonia. More than 200 parents, students, and former football players turned out at a public forum to send a loud and clear message to the Fredonia School Board to forget any plan that would end the school’s football program. The district has found it harder to find enough players to maintain a Varsity and Junior Varsity football team. The district has the option of merging with the already merged football team of Westfield-Brocton schools. When the discussion came up last week, Fredonia School Board President Michael Bobseine suggested ending the football program altogether because of the inherent risks of injury. He noted that the team Fredonia would be merging with mourned the loss of a player in 2013. 16-year old Damon Janes died as the result of a head injury he sustained during a high school football game. “That’s the problem.” said Bobseine. “I have a fiduciary responsibility to my district taxpayers, and I know , I do believe if something should happen, we’re gonna get sued.” Parents like John Gullo are willing to take the risk. “I think your limited parental role is satisfied both morally and legally by making all student activities as safe as possible, and leaving the rest up to us, the actual parents.” Tyler DiRusso just graduated from Fredonia. “If you take away football, not only are you taking away from these young gentle-

That’s our high risk population.” At it’s next meeting, February 9, the Fredonia School Board will vote on a proposal by School Superintendent Paul DiFonzo to merge Fredonia’s football program with Westfield-Brocton.

Commentary: MLB Milestones To Watch For In 2016 By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
It’s only a matter of weeks until pitchers and catchers report to Major League Baseball Spring Training. In case you can’t tell from my past several commentaries, baseball is my favorite sport. I’m very excited for another season to begin. Yes, the Super Bowl is coming up. Yes, the NHL and NBA All-Star Games are technically things, though I couldn’t care less. Golf and tennis are kicking off their respective seasons, too. To me, there is just baseball. One of my favorite online activities is scouring www.baseball-reference.com for fun stats. I love stats. I have what some might call an unhealthy obsession with stats. My latest voyage into the world of baseball history gave me the idea for this commentary. The 2016 season could see a number of career milestones for a number of high-profile players. On that note, let’s highlight some that fans should be on the watch for. ICHIRO: 3,000th HIT — Last season, we saw another player who started his career with the Seattle Mariners pick up his 3,000th career hit. That player was Alex Rodriguez, so it didn’t get a ton of publicity. Ichiro, on the other hand, is universally respected. He’s currently at 2,935 hits. He managed 91 hits as a part-time player for the Marlins last year, so 65 hits should be entirely doable. The Marlins will probably not be in contention, so Ichiro should get starts down the stretch if nothing else. Oh, Ichiro is also just two stolen bases away from 500 for his career. CARLOS BELTRAN, JIMMY ROLLINS & MIGUEL CABRERA: 2,500th HIT — Here are three guys that should all eventually find a spot in the Hall of Fame. For some (Rollins, Beltran), this milestone will probably be the final one in terms of hits accumulated. Each of those guys are clearly on their last legs. Miggy, on the other
hand, is only 32 years old and is almost surely on his way to 3,000+ career hits before all is said and done. Beltran needs just 46 hits. Rollins needs just 78. Cabrera is the furthest away, but as long as he’s healthy should pick up the 169 hits he needs by the end of the season. FOUR PLAYERS: 2,000th HIT — Staying on the hits stat, four players should reach 2,000 this season. A.J. Pierzynski has never been considered elite, but he needs just 11 hits to reach the milestone. Carl Crawford is still the best Tampa Bay (Devil) Ray of all time, though he hasn’t been the same player since leaving there. Still, he should get the 84 hits he needs. Jose Reyes was once a lock for many more than 2,000 hits, but injuries have slowed him down a ton. The switch-hitting shortstop needs 96 hits. Matt Holliday is another guy that has never been considered elite despite hitting in the middle of the order on multiple World Series champions. For him, 99 hits will be no problem if he’s healthy. DAVID ORTIZ, ALBERT PUJOLS: 600 DOUBLES — Throughout baseball history, there have been 14 players that have reached 600 career doubles. Every one of them except for Pete Rose and Barry Bonds are in the Hall of Fame. Ortiz has 584 and Pujols has 583. They are currently 18th and 19th on the all-time list. It may not have the same clout as 500 home runs, but the 600 double club actually has far fewer members. MARK TEIXEIRA, CARLOS BELTRAN: 400 HOME RUNS — A pair of aging New York Yankees stars are going to battle it out to see who can reach this milestone first. Tex needs six while Beltran needs eight. These are two of this era’s most prolific power hitters. Tex probably would have reached it last season if he hadn’t gotten hurt. He could reach that 400 in the season’s first month if he picks up where he did last year. Beltran might be fighting for playing time, but still has plenty of pop in his bat. FRANCISCO RODRIGUEZ: 400 SAVES — Five players in baseball history have hit this milestone and K-Rod is just 14 away from joining the club. The closer was nearly out of the league back in 2011 after a relatively disastrous stint with the Mets. He’s been quietly

solid for the Brewers ever since. He’s the single-season saves record holder and probably has a number of good years left in his arm. He could reach 500 saves before all is said and done. JOHN LACKEY, JUSTIN VERLANDER, COLE HAMELS & ZACK GREINKE: 2,000 STRIKEOUTS — To the untrained eye, that number might not look like a lot, but there are actually only four active pitchers with that many K’s over their careers. C.C. Sabathia (2,574), Bartolo Colon (2,237), Felix Hernandez (2,142) and Jake Peavy (2,105) could see their little club more than double by season’s end. Lackey is just 45 strikeouts away and should reach that mark early in the season. Verlander doesn’t have the gas he once had, but should easily strike out 57 batters before the All-Star break. Hamels is still among the game’s best and is just 78 away from 2,000. Greinke is coming off a Cy Young season where he struck out 200, so the 113 he needs should be no sweat. Mark Buehrle has 1,887 strikeouts in his career, but the veteran lefty is still a free agent, so his status is up in the air. MIKE SCIOSCIA: 1,500 CAREER WINS — This one is no sure thing as Scioscia does need a 84-win campaign to reach this total, but the Angels also have the current best player in the Majors in Mike Trout, so doubt them at your own risk. There are 23 men in
baseball history with more managerial wins than Scioscia. Of those 23 guys, 17 of them are in the Hall of Fame. One of them (Bruce Bochy) is still active. Two of them (Dusty Baker and Jim Leyland) managed as recently as 2013. Another (Lou Piniella) is a mere five seasons removed from being a manager. Scioscia has seven playoff appearances and a World Series title. Could Scioscia really be a Hall of Fame manager? Weird. ALEX RODRIGUEZ: $400 MILLION IN CAREER SALARY — Yup. This is actually going to happen. That’s without signing or marketing bonuses. Disgusting. This has nothing to do with milestones really, but it’s a piece of trivia that I came across that I thought was very interesting. Do you know which active player has played the most games without making a playoff appearance? How about Adam Lind, who has only been in the league since 2006 and has played in 1,102 games. For reference, the record for most games played without a playoff appearance in held by Mr. Cub, Ernie Banks. Banks played in a heartbreaking 2,528 games over 19 seasons without making it to the playoffs. Stefan Gestwicki is the sports editor of the Chautauqua Star.

Self-Proclaimed Expert: Super Bowl Edition By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
Whew. Did you see that Pro Bowl? No? Me neither. I have never watched even one second of a Pro Bowl. At least Buffalo’s players made the news, right? From what I’ve seen this morning, our boy Tyrod Taylor managed to throw three interceptions in just 14 passing attempts. That’s incredibly hard to do in a game in which no one is trying even a little bit. (EDIT: I just found out that apparently Odell Beckham was playing safety and Richard Sherman was running end arounds on offense. Can we please just get rid of this atrocity already? The players don’t care. The fans don’t care. The media doesn’t care. Who is this game for?) Anyway, we don’t need to talk about the Pro Bowl. We’re all here to talk about the Super Bowl.

SELF-PROCLAIMED EXPERT PICKS, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 37 age of his own. As mentioned, however, Denver is in the Super Bowl because of a straight-up nasty defense. Even Cam Newton has to take note of the astounding 17 quarterback hits that Tom Brady endured against Denver in the championship game. DeMarcus Ware has seven of those himself. Von Miller had 2.5 sacks while also being a major factor in stopping the run game. Chris Harris, Aqib Talib and T.J. Ward anchor one of the game’s best defensive secondaries. Even the “role” players on Denver’s defense are something special. Derek Wolfe and Shaquil Barrett each had 5.5 sacks during the regular season. Both Danny Trevathan and Brandon Marshall had over 100 tackles from their linebacker position. There’s talent at quite literally every position of Denver’s defense. Cam Newton will have no real weaknesses to exploit. That’s why Denver is here. Few teams have been able to find holes in this defense.
Could this game come down to special teams? Absolutely. Denver’s Brandon McManus is one of the better kickers in the league. He didn’t miss a field goal from inside 40 yards all season. He only missed one extra point during a season in which much was made of kickers missing those “freebies.” On the other side, Graham Gano might not be quite as good numbers-wise, but still had a nice season. He made 56 of 59 extra points, which makes for a 95 percent conversion rate. So which team has the edge in Super Bowl 50? Conventional wisdom as well as Vegas is saying Carolina. I, on the other hand, am going against the grain and think Peyton Manning triumphantly lifts the Lombardi Trophy in his NFL finale. Seriously, how great of a story would that make considering he was lured to Denver by another legendary quarterback that accomplished that feat, John Elway? Truthfully I have no rooting interest in this game. I don’t like or dislike players, coaches, logos,
fans, team colors, uniforms, histories or locations of either of the teams. So hopefully we’re just treated to some fun moments and that the officials don’t decide the outcome. PICK VS. SPREAD: Broncos (+5.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Broncos.

Devils No. 15 in IWLCA Pre-Season Poll Contributed Article FSU Sports Information Dept.
The Fredonia Blue Devils are ranked No. 15 in the Intercolleigate Women's Lacrosse Coaches' Association pre-season poll of NCAA Division III teams. Last month, Lacrosse Magazine put Fredonia at No. 13 in its pre-season rankings. The Blue Devils earned their rank based off their 2015 finish. Their 17-4 record -- under first-year head coach Amy Simon -- was the best in program history. The record included NCAA Tournament wins over Denison and Washington & Lee, the first time Fredonia has won two NCAA games in one season.The 2015 season came to an end with an NCAA quarterfinal loss to Franklin & Marshall. Other 2015 highlights included a first-ever trip to the SUNYAC championship game, where the Blue Devils fell to eventual NCAA champion Cortland, and then-seniors Katie Kleine and Marissa Cussins being named IWLCA Second Team All Americans. It was the first time two Blue Devils were named All Americans in the same season. With Kleine and Cussins having graduated, plus several other key departures, the Blue Devils head into 2016 with a decidedly different look. They open their season later this month -- Feb. 27 vs. The College of New Jersey at Montclair, N.J. Meanwhile, Cortland finds itself atop the 2016 IWLCA D-III pre-season rankings. The Red Dragons are the unanimous No. 1 choice of pollsters, followed byTrinity, Franklin & Marshall, and Middlebury. The IWLCA Communications committee, which oversees the coaches' polls, has added a new feature in 2016. Following the coaches' poll release each week, the IWLCA will conduct a fan poll on Twitter, giving everyone the opportunity to weigh in on the order of the top four teams. The Division III Fan Poll on Twitter (@IWLCA), will be posted on Thursdays at noon, EST, and voting will remain open for 24 hours. The next IWLCA Division III Weekly Poll will be
