Hello, my name is Hutch and I am a hound mix. I’m a little over a year old and weigh around 60 lbs. My owners couldn’t keep me so the shelter is helping me find a new family. I’m one that likes to play and have fun. I am housetrained, but have to admit I do need a little work on my manners. The staff thinks I’m very handsome and likes to cuddle with me. I like it too. Please stop by the shelter and visit me and my friends. Call or visit Paws Along the River in Warren, Pa. for more information.

Contributed Article HCA
After 46 years in healthcare, including 12 years of extraordinary leadership as Executive Director of Healthy Community Alliance (HCA), Sharon J Mathe has announced that she will retire in the spring of 2016. “I have reached an age where I feel ready to embark on the next chapter in this life journey,” states Mathe. “I am looking forward to spending more time with my husband, our sons, and their families. I will also be focusing on parttime leadership and mentoring roles in support of a new generation of leaders dedicated to the common good and focusing on what is best for the larger community.” Based on her recent Lifetime Achievement Award from the P2 Collaborative and her accomplishments with HCA, it would appear that Mathe would make an ideal mentor for emerging leaders.
During her early years at HCA, Mathe faced challenges related to limited human and capital resources - with a staff of only six people and budget of $250,000 and very few people understanding exactly what HCA did. Yet, under Mathe’s leadership HCA has CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

Chamber Corner Contributed Article Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce
The Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors has selected Dr. Susan McNamara as the recipient of its 2015 Pam Lydic Coalition Builder Award. The award will be given at the Chamber’s Annual Meeting at noon, Friday, December 11, at Moon Brook Country Club, Jamestown. Dr. McNamara is Assistant Professor of Management at Fredonia State University of New York and is also an executive coach and business consultant. She teaches Strategic Management, Organization Behavior and Entrepreneurship. Sue McNamara was previously Executive Director of Chautauqua Works, worked in the Chautauqua County Department of Social Services, and had a corporate career with Motorola. She is also the adviser for the Fredonia
Enactus team, which uses entrepreneurial approaches to address social, environmental, and economic issues in the community. The Pam Lydic Coalition Builder Award recognizes an individual or organization in Chautauqua County that has worked to bring groups of people together around a common goal or objective and has helped move the region forward in a positive direction through collaboration and by building partnerships. Our board was especially impressed with Dr. McNamara’s work with Enactus. We view Enactus as a way to bring together an array of student groups to work on current projects, while also developing leadership skills with a focus on service in a new generation of prospective business people. It truly teaches community service and community building on a basic level, demonstrating that business and community go hand-in-hand. Through her work connecting Fredonia students to
local businesses and non-profits, Sue brings an experiential approach that allows students to apply their academic learning through critical thinking to deal with a community need or business challenge. Under her leadership, Enactus at Fredonia has grown from 10 to 77 members including students in 19 different majors. To date, 130 local organizations have worked with business capstone students to solve a strategic challenge or opportunity. Sue has also worked with 15 student researchers and coached 25 student entrepreneurs for Regional Entrepreneurship business plan competitions. Formal invitations for the Chamber Annual Meeting will be mailed to all Chamber member businesses shortly. For now, we invite you to save the date, December 11, and to watch for additional information as we unveil further details about the event soon. CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

Keeping the Faith
"Dear Pastor, does God get mad at us when we mess up?" My dear friend, I’m so glad you asked this question. I’m sure that many of our readers have wondered about God’s response to our failures. If you’re like me, you feel pretty bad when you perceive that you have failed at something or fallen short. We can experience feelings of regret and guilt and spend time rethinking our actions, wishing that we’d have done it differently. While we may feel that we deserve to be struggling, what’s God’s response to our failure? Does He add to our trouble by inflicting us with His disapproval and punishment? Absolutely not! The Bible is very clear that God’s love for us is greater than any human father’s love towards his children (Matthew 7:7-11). Even though a parent’s love does not compare to God’s love, we can use it as an example. I have three daughters. I love them so much that I would gladly do everything I can to make their lives better. Yet, my children were not born
fully mature. They couldn’t take care of themselves and didn’t even come pottytrained. And guess what? They failed (and will fail) many times before they actually grew up. Would I have been a good and loving father if I punished my girls when they fell while trying to take their first steps? Absolutely not! I was excited that they were trying. My joy was based on their trying, not their failure. After they fell, I would hug them and encourage them to try again. God sees our Christian walk as we see our own children’s growth. We’ll all experience failure and mistakes as we learn to walk as God desires, but please know that God is cheering us on – not scolding us for our mistakes! The Bible clearly says that God is not holding our mistakes against us (2 Corinthians 5:19). He knew we would fail so He made a way, through Jesus Christ, to allow for forgiveness. 1 John 1:9 tells us that when we sin, all we need to do is confess it to God and He is faithful to forgive us and encourage us to keep

going! So submit your mistakes and failings to God and ask for forgiveness and direction so you can do better. Take this encouragement and know that no matter what, He loves you.

Cummins’ Community Recycling Day A Success Contributed Article Cummins Inc.
Cummins Inc.’s Jamestown Engine Plant has once again given back to its local community. The plant recently hosted and sponsored a Community Recycling Day event where residents could recycle electronics and safely dispose of household hazardous waste for free. Among the items collected were batteries, oil based paints and stains, electronic devices, used motor oil, fluorescent bulbs, scrap metal, auto and light truck tires, pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, weed killers, and pool chemicals.
“Roughly 50 volunteers from Cummins participated in the event and we had over 1,000 people come and drop off items,” said David Burlee, Plant Engineering Manager at Cummins Inc.’s Jamestown Engine Plant. Through the event, Cummins collected: - 93,700 pounds of electronics - 56,000 pounds of tires - 4,065 pounds of batteries, - 2,388 pounds of fluorescent bulbs, - 870 gallons of used motor oil, - 2,509 gallons of paint, - 36 gallons of pesticides, and - 20 gallons of antifreeze.

By sponsoring the event, Cummins donated about $75,000 to have these items safely disposed. “I offer my sincerest thanks to Cummins’ Jamestown Engine Plant and its employees for their incredible support to our local community,” said Chautauqua County Executive Vince Horrigan. Cummins Inc. is a corporation which designs, manufactures, distributes and services diesel and natural gas engines and related technologies including fuel systems, controls, air handling, filtration, emission solutions and electrical power generation systems. It is headquartered in Columbus, Indiana and currently employees approximately 48,000 people worldwide and serves customers in approximately 190 countries and territories.

Sharon also led HCA’s efforts to launch Academy Place - 32 units of senior apartments with immediate access to multiple health services under one roof in Gowanda, NY. HCA has also received recent accolades related to their work to improve the overall health and wellness of the people of Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, and Erie Counties. “When I reflect on all that Sharon has accomplished in her time with HCA,” says HCA Board Chair Jeff Bowen, “I am amazed at what a positive and lasting impact she has made on this organization and the
many communities we serve. From the reputation of excellence she has built at HCA to her willingness to embrace an attitude of continuous learning and improvement to her unwavering commitment to fulfilling the mission of the organization, it is clear that finding a suitable replacement for Sharon will be no easy task.” Knowing the challenge ahead of them, HCA’s Board of Directors has already begun the work of finding a new Executive Director. Though current plans are to release the full job description and begin the formal search process in January, inquiries about the position are welcomed at any point and can be made by calling HCA at 716-532-1010 or emailing mathes@ HCAnetwork.org. Additional information about the organization can be found at www.community-

Mathe also plans to remain with HCA throughout the leadership search process and work in tandem with the Board and her successor to ensure a seamless transition. “HCA’s work has engaged my heart, intellect, and courage,” says Mathe. “With our recent work on strengthening our internal functions, I am confident that HCA is better positioned than ever before to embrace the opportunities and challenges related to New York’s rapidly evolving healthcare system. And, with the support of our strong staff and Board of Directors, I have no doubt that the next Executive Director will be able to take HCA to even greater heights of success.”

Why Worry About Diabetes? Diabetes keeps your body from turning food into energy. It can cause problems with your eyes, kidneys, nerves, and feet. It can also hurt your heart and blood vessels. Once you get diabetes it won’t go away, but it can be managed with proper treatment. Diabetes Education Having diabetes may mean changes at work and in your social life. But these changes should not keep you from doing well at work and enjoying your free time. To make this transition easier, you should seek the care of a diabetes educator. Diabetes education helps individuals with diabetes learn how to manage their disease and be as healthy as possible. Education helps people with diabetes to achieve optimal health status and reduces complications such as coronary artery disease, limb loss, renal disease, and vision loss. It also improves quality of life and reduces the need for costly health care in the future. Diabetes education focuses on seven self-care behaviors that are important to focus on to be healthy and fully enjoy life:
•Healthy eating •Being active •Monitoring •Taking medication •Problem solving •Healthy coping •Reducing risks The goal of diabetes education is to help people with diabetes practice these behaviors every day and to help patients learn to enjoy life while still managing their diabetes. For more information on diabetes and diabetes education, contact Westfield Memorial Hospital and the Diabetes Self-Management Program. Certified by the ADA for providing highquality education services, the program includes personal meal planning, blood glucose monitoring, understanding medications, and prevention of complications related to diabetes. For information on classes and counseling, simply call 716.793.2222.

The One Thing You Need To Be Healthy
By Brad Jarrett Contributing Writer
You’ll have to agree with me when I say that most people want to live a long life. They strive after physical fitness and healthy eating as their means of attaining it. That is AWESOME! Exercise and healthy eating are proven to decrease
the risk of morbidity. These actions lead to physical fitness; which means they’re part of the physical pillar. Now don’t misunderstand me, there are still mental and emotional components in these actions. If you don’t believe me, just ask someone who is trying to resist eating a piece of birthday cake placed in front of them. I guarantee they would tell you it’s a mental and emotional challenge. But exercise and healthy eating do not specifically enhance mental and emotional fitness. Take for example, the guy in the gym that has 6 percent body fat, and is bench pressing 400 lbs. Is he physically fit? It sure seems like it. But if he goes home and yells at his wife, or ignores his children, is he mentally and emotionally fit? Not in my opinion.
Realize there are different pillars of fitness and the physical is not the only way to achieve increased length of life. In fact, as we sow into the mental and emotional pillars, our physical being will grow accordingly because of the trickledown effect. When the mental and emotional pillars grow, the physical must follow suite, or else it will no longer be able to support the higher levels of the pyramid. Studies have proven social relationships have an impact on health (Social Relationships, 1988). As stated in research, “Studies…consistently show increased risk of death among persons with a low quantity, and sometimes low quality, of social relationships” (Social Relationships, 1988). Wow! It’s also worth noting that there
is not one specific reason of death for people in this study. There were multiple causes all with the same root; social isolation. I firmly believe relationships are more important than any “exercise” in the gym. While physical exercise is needed, and will affect you for the hour each day you’re in the gym, relationships are all around you for the other 23 hours. Which do you think has the greatest impact? My challenge to you, as you work to increase your physical fitness, is to find at least one person to share the journey. Someone you can talk to, workout with, and share burdens with. As you build this relationship, all four pillars of fitness will be touched. You’ll begin to see change in your body, but more importantly, you’ll see change in who you
are as a person. If you have trouble finding friends, think of the great Zig Zigglar as he says “If you go out to FIND a friend, they’ll be scarce. If you go out to BE a friend, you’ll find them everywhere. You really do get what you give.” So give the best of yourself, and be happy knowing you’re going to get the best of someone else. I’m excited for your journey. Fitness Will Be Greater.
The Health Benefits Of Coffee that coffee likely has health benefits. It is not a one to one direct correlation - in other words, if I drink one coffee a day, then I will live one year longer or one year healthier. Instead, the study showed an association - more simply, people in the study who drank 3 - 5 cups a day have 15% lower death rates than the people in the study who did not drink coffee. The scientists looked By Tonja Dodd at the ongoing Nurse Health Contributing Writer studies (there are two of them) and the Health Professionals study - collectively, these Can drinking coffee regularly studies have over 208,000 really be a good thing? To my people. The first Nurse Health recollection, my grandmother study started in 1976 and survived on coffee and choco- all three examine lifestyle/ late — and lived a full life into health behaviors, morbidity her early 90s. So maybe there and mortality. The recently is some truth to it. published study did account On a more serious scientific for other possible factors like a note, a study published by the high BMI, smoking, exercise Harvard School of Public and other dietary habits and Health this week in the scienisolated coffee drinking behavtific journal, Circulation, states ior to produce their findings.
One thing I found interesting is that it doesn’t matter if the coffee has caffeine or not - decaffeinated coffee seems to have the same benefits as coffee with caffeine. Also, the sweet spot is consuming 3 to 5 cups a day - a cup refers to a measured cup or 8 ounces. For reference, a Grande at Starbucks is 16 ounces or 2 and 1/2 cups while a medium cup at Tim Horton’s is 14 ounces or just under 2 cups. After seeing this significant difference in premature death of coffee drinkers versus noncoffee drinkers the researchers went on to look at all the studies that have been done evaluating coffee and its potential health benefits. It appears that there are many compounds in coffee that protect against diabetes, heart disease, neurological diseases and suicide. In fact, there are numerous studies that Harvard has done in the last 15 years that call out
these benefits. Antioxidants such as chlorogenic acid contained in coffee may be the reason for health promoting effects of coffee. The anti-oxidants reduce insulin resistance and systematic inflammation - both of which translate to less diabetes, heart disease and other conditions. The Harvard studies have shown coffee may reduce the risk of prostate cancer and basal cell carcinoma as well. Also, independent studies showed depression and suicide risk may be decreased due to coffee consumption. The stronger findings are from a 2013 study that analyzed 36 studies and showed that the magic 3 5 cups a day of coffee protects against heart disease. Recent studies show Type 2 diabetes risk is lowered by 10 - 20% and the incidence of Parkinson’s is reduced as well. Wow. These finding may cause you to pause and reconsider your
coffee habits. Again, if you are trying to avoid caffeine, decaf has benefits too. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans suggests that up to 5 cups a day of coffee (sans the heavy cream and sugar) can be part of a healthy diet. Do note that heavy coffee drinking is associated with smoking and drinking - if you associate your coffee drinking with smoking cigarettes or drinking, maybe coffee is not for you. Quitting smoking and cutting back on drinking are critical for good health. There is help - call 1-866-NY-QUITS or talk to your doctor.

Every year at this time, people find themselves writing out lists of Christmas gifts for their friends and loved ones. Even when you set up a Christmas budget, it can still be difficult at times to make sure you are not going overboard. When there are kids on your list, it can be even easier to buy or give too much. Children have so many interests, and while our ever-increasing technology can make it easier to find the perfect present, it simultaneously makes it harder. When there are so many options to choose from it can become a challenge to narrow things down. If you can't narrow things down, it's easy to just get several things which really aren't necessary. Been there, done that. And then you realize that one (or more) of the toys you bought only got played with for the first few minutes of ownership, then it was put away and forgotten about. So what are some ways to avoid this? Our household is using the 'Christmas Gift Challenge' idea for our kids, just to simplify and cut back on unnecessary spending. The 'challenge,' is 'something they want, something they need, something to wear and something to read.' Really, it's just a cute rhyme to help keep your shopping balanced. You've probably seen it floating around Facebook or Pinterest at some point. The idea is to only buy one toy, one needed item, clothing and a book. Although we will likely be 'bending' this by buying Christmas Eve pajamas and more than one book. We've never really gone completely overboard, but this is also our first year of buying presents for three kids that are our own. This guideline is a great way to keep things fair for each child in a family. In a society that has a tendency to be materialistic and wasteful, sometimes we need to be reminded that Christmas has nothing to do with Black Friday deals. And you know that this girl loves coupons. I am all for saving money. But one of the very best ways to do that is to refrain from being excessive and materialistic in the first place. This doesn't mean to be cheap, or to cut back on the number of people who you give gifts to. Generosity is something that needs to increase in the world. So this year, let's keep our focus on what Christmas is really about. By endeavoring to give without going overboard, and by giving not simply of necessity, but with a cheerful heart. As always, thanks for reading, and a very Merry Christmas from HBK!

Hosting A Healthy, Safe Holiday Party Contributed Article StatePoint
It’s the holiday season -- which for many people means parties galore. Whether you’re hosting a sit-down or buffet-style dinner, the pressure of entertaining can be overwhelming. For a healthy and safe holiday party, consider some helpful holiday advice from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. “Holiday parties are a great way to bring food, family and friends together,” says registered dietitian nutritionist and Academy Spokesperson, Nancy Farrell. “It is important to make hosting as stress-free as possible so you can enjoy this quality time with loved ones.” Plan ahead. This includes choosing the menu, grocery shopping and equipping your kitchen with all the necessary supplies. “Don’t forgot paper towels; plenty of soap for a quick and safe clean-up; a food thermometer to make sure all food is properly cooked; and shallow containers for storing leftovers,” Farrell says. Remember, it is possible to have flavorful food without added fat and calories. Limit creamy dishes, fried foods and extra salt. “Instead, serve a Greek yogurt dip for an appetizer, flavor the turkey with a fat-free broth instead of butter, and
top vegetables like broccoli with lemon juice rather than a creamy cheese sauce,” Farrell says. Also, offer plenty of choices for all holiday guests, including vegetarians, those with allergies, gluten intolerance, diabetes and other health restrictions. “If necessary, make two separate dishes or place sauces with offending foods on the side to accommodate all guests,” Farrell says. More concerning than simply going off your healthy diet, is that food safety rules may be forgotten when throwing a party. Food poisoning is a serious concern that must not be overlooked. “Forty-eight million people get sick with food poisoning per year,” Farrell says. “Follow proper food safety practices before, during and after the gathering to help keep guests safe.” Start by washing hands, all produce and kitchen surfaces. When cooking, use a food thermometer to ensure all items are cooked to a safe temperature. Don’t leave any food out of the refrigerator for more than two hours. If food is served buffet-style, set a timer as a reminder to replace the food every two hours. Refrigerate all leftovers immediately in shallow containers. For more information on healthful eating, nutritious recipes and food safety, visit www.eatright.org and consult a registered dietitian nutritionist. Holidays are a time of celebration, but whether you are a host or guest, stay healthy and safe during this joyous season.

Ways To Give Back This Holiday Season
Tips To Give Unique, Meaningful Gifts This Holiday Season
Contributed Article StatePoint
When making this year’s holiday gift list, consider how you might also give back to your local community. The holiday season is the perfect time of year to do this, when volunteer and donation opportunities increase. Here are a few ideas to give back in your community: The Gift of Literacy Only one-third of all students entering high school are proficient in reading, according to a National Assessment of Education Progress report. Brighten children’s smiles this holiday season while also giving them an opportunity to succeed at school and beyond. The Marine Toys for Tots Foundation has given new toys to children in need for more than 60 years. The organization also extends its reach through a partnership with The UPS Store through the Toys for Tots Literacy Program, which provides economically disadvantaged children an opportunity to succeed in school and beyond. Donations can be made at The UPS Store locations nationwide or online at toysfortots.org/literacy. One-hundred percent of all proceeds go to support local children and literacy programs. Your donations go even further thanks to the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, which is able to purchase books at a deep discount. To find a participating location near you and make a donation that will help ensure families everywhere have access to books, visit theupsstore.com. Bake Sale When you’re busy making trays of cookies for your big holiday party, consider making an extra batch or two, and encouraging friends and neighbors to do the same. With your combined efforts, you can host a bake sale, which can be a lucrative and enjoyable way to raise money for your favorite charity. If you don’t have time to organize an event like this, you can still give back through your baking. Wrap packs of cookies or other goodies in bags as thank you gifts to your children’s teachers, coaches and others in your community who have served or been kind to your family all year. Volunteer Your Time One of the best ways to give back is by donating your valuable time. Make a trip to a local nursing home and spend time with residents who may not have family or anyone else to visit them this season. Additionally, soup kitchens are often in need of extra hands during the holidays. Ask your local organizations about volunteer opportunities. While holiday wish lists are often full of fun gadgets, clothes and toys, there are still many in your community lacking more basic necessities. This season, think beyond your personal wants and do your best to give back.

Making your list and checking it twice? Coming up with unique items for all your family and friends in a short period of time is not always a simple feat. Luckily, there are many easy ways to make everyone on your list feel special. Customized Books While literature always makes a great gift, a personalized book will make reading time extra appealing, and a cherished present that will never be forgotten. Personalized book companies let you make your gift recipient the hero of a unique story, complete with the person’s name and photo. Personalized Candles Turn the gift of a treasured candle into something even more personalized by incorporating photos and messages on the candle label. Make a statement by picking a fragrance with your recipient in mind, tied to special memories you share. To create made-to-order combinations for your friends and family, consider Yankee Candle, which offers several customization options that allow you to personalize everything from the label design to embellishments in the wrapping. Their lineup of fragrances includes Buttercream, Lilac Blossoms, and Sparkling Cinnamon, conjuring fond memories of everything from a walk through flowery fields to a favorite holiday dessert. Personalized candles, which are easy to design, also make thoughtful hostess gifts for all your holiday festivities this season. DIY Gift Basket A standard-issue gift basket will be appreciated, but to show you truly care, consider customizing each gift for every recipient. You can make unique creations by taking favorites into consideration. Is your gift recipient a dog lover? Does she have a sweet tooth? After stocking baskets with goodies customized to their tastes, adorn each one with unique garlands, ribbons and bows. This holiday season is the perfect opportunity to take advantage of all the easy, customizable options available to make each gift thoughtful and unforgettable.

Thoughtful Stocking Stuffers For The Holiday Season Contributed Article StatePoint
While the big ticket items are always a thrill to bestow and receive during the holidays, sometimes smaller stocking stuffers are the most needed and appreciated. Here are some ideas to get you started: Tech Accessories Gifting new tech devices? Be sure you also equip recipients with all the accessories they will need to enjoy their gifts on-the-go. From hard shell cases that offer protection from slips and drops, (as these incidents are bound to occur) to app store gift cards for quick downloading of the software needed to make the most of these items. Batteries Included! Nothing kills the thrill of receiving a new device quite like the phrase “batteries not included.” From remote-controlled cars to digital cameras, gift recipients won’t want to just look at their new toys, they’ll want to use them right away! Avoid disappointment by providing juice for all those battery-operated goodies. Consider pairing cutting edge gifts with cutting edge Energizer EcoAdvanced AA and AAA batteries. They are the brand’s longest-lasting alkaline battery and the world’s first AA battery made with four percent recycled batteries. To learn more, visit energizer.com/ecoadvanced. Travel For those loved ones who have traveled to spend the holidays with you, consider a thoughtful gift that can be used during the journey home. From travel-sized board games to snack packs or tiny notebooks, these items will come in handy
whether gift recipients are traveling by plane, train or automobile. This year, don’t forget the stocking stuffers -- they are a great opportunity to show your loved ones just how thoughtful you are.

True Tales for Athletes Help make every goal, touchdown, and championship of all the greats comes to life, from Babe Ruth (so incorrigible that his parents put him in reform school at age seven) to Muhammad Ali (who learned to fight at age 12 after a thief stole his bicycle). “Kid Athletes” is packed with inspirational stories from the world of sports, sharing tales from the childhoods of famous athletes. Billie Jean King rose from modest circumstances to win 39 Grand Slam championships; Wilma Rudolph triumphed over polio to become the fastest woman on earth; and martial arts legend Bruce Lee credited his success, in part, to childhood dance lessons.

That one win was an ugly three-point victory over the lowly Titans. Atlanta sports some fantasy studs in Julio Jones, Devonta Freeman and Matt Ryan, but this isn’t a team that scares many people. A total lack of pass rush has put too much pressure on the secondary. First-round pick Vic Beasley was supposed to add a pass rush element to this defense and while technically he leads the team in sacks, it’s only two. Even Hasselbeck should have no problem finding open receivers if he’s not feeling pressure. It’s hard to get excited about either of these teams. The spread seems too high, too. PICK VS.

TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS (4-5) at PHILADELPHIA EAGLES (4-5) The Bucs officially doubled their win total from last year with last week’s ugly win over Dallas. Wins are great, but the offense has been struggling the past two weeks. Mike Evans continues to be a bright spot in this low-octane unit. Despite missing the first two games of the season, Evans is on pace for over 70 catches and 1,100 yards. This comes despite the erratic play of rookie quarterback Jamies Winston.

SELF-PROCLAIMED EXPERT, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 30
DENVER BRONCOS (7-2) at CHICAGO BEARS (4-5) The panic is setting in for the Denver Broncos and their fans. Yes, Peyton Manning has a partial tear in his foot, but more concerning has to be his 9:17 touchdown-to-interception ratio. That’s nearly twice as many interceptions. You have to wonder if anyone in the Denver locker room is hoping that Brock Osweiler will play. It sounds crazy, but Manning is coming off a game with a 0.0 passer rating. If a guy throws every pass incomplete, they’ll end with a 39.6. You can’t actually do worse than Manning did on Sunday. This defense is still legitimately great. Denver needs a win to stop the bleeding. (EDIT: I just found out that Manning is, in fact, out.) Chicago got a nice statistical day from quarterback Jay Cutler on Sunday, but if you actually watched the game, you might not be fooled. Cutler threw two passes that traveled about three yards through the air that accounted for 170 yards and two touchdowns after both Zach Miller and Jeremy Langford took screen passes more than 80 yards for touchdowns. That’s the definition of a fluke. What Chicago should be credited for is holding Todd Gurley to just 45 yards rushing. The defense has come a long way since the beginning of the season and the Bears have won four of their last six as a result. The Broncos defense will not be al-
lowing all of the missed tackles that St. Louis did. Except the Bears offense to struggle. PICK VS. SPREAD: Broncos (even). STRAIGHT PICK: Broncos.
ST. LOUIS RAMS (4-5) at BALTIMORE RAVENS (2-7) Every time I think the Rams are on their way to becoming a viable playoff contender, they lose to an inferior opponent. Last week it was the Bears, who torched the St. Louis defense with broken plays. That said, Aaron Donald only cemented his place as one of the game’s elite defensive lineman with seven tackles and 1.5 sacks. He should be just as disruptive against a suspect Baltimore line in this one. Unfortunately, the Rams’ offensive line suffered another devastating injury when rookie guard Jamon Brown fractured his leg. Brown is almost certainly out for the season. (EDIT: I just found out that Case Keenum is taking over at quarterback for the Rams.) Baltimore just can’t win games. It’s so odd to see because this franchise was the model of consistency for the past five or six years prior to this season. Elvis Dumervil was moments away from his third sack of the game, which would have sealed a win last week, but was flagged for a facemask that gave Jacksonville new life. The Ravens have been outscored by less than three points per
game, but close doesn’t count. There are no moral victories in the NFL. Joe Flacco isn’t totally to blame, but he’s certainly not living up to the amount he’s getting paid. There’s just no way to justify picking Baltimore. They’re either cursed or terrible. PICK VS. SPREAD: Rams (even). STRAIGHT PICK: Rams.
DALLAS COWBOYS (2-7) at MIAMI DOLPHINS (4-5) Tony Romo is back! Huzzah! The season is saved! Okay, while it’s exciting to have Romo back under center, the Cowboys probably need to win out the rest of the season to have any shot at the playoffs. This is a team that has lost seven straight games. Romo is good, but there’s no way he would have helped enough to save all of those losses…or even most of them. This isn’t a very good team. Miami seems to have found a nice balance of run and pass on offense, so this Dallas defense is going to get tested in all facets of the game. Miami has had only one home game since Oct. 5. That’s an odd scheduling quirk, but with five of the remaining seven games at home, the Dolphins have to be confident in their ability to get back in the playoff race. It starts with trying to get back to .500 this week. Last week’s win wasn’t a thing of beauty, but Ndamukong Suh had his
best game of the season and seems to be heating up at the right time. The running game is heating up, too, behind Lamar Miller and rookie Jay Ajayi. Miller leads the team with 521 yards and also sports a hefty 4.9 yards per carry, but Ajayi is averaging 8.1 yards per carry and already has three runs of over 20 yards in just two career games. Dallas is exactly middle of the pack in rushing defense. Miami’s defensive stats look pretty bad, but they’ve played better lately. PICK VS. SPREAD: Dolphins (even). STRAIGHT PICK: Dolphins.
WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM (4-5) at CAROLINA PANTHERS (9-0) Washington has been the Dr. Jeykll and Mr. Hyde of the NFL this season. The team has looked like Super Bowl contenders at home, going 4-1 with wins over some decent NFL teams. On the road…ehh…not so much. They’re 0-4 on the road with three of those losses by at least double-digit points. So perhaps going on the road to take on the undefeated Panthers won’t be the best of matchups. Still, Washington can take over a share of the lead in the NFC East with a win. That won’t be lost on the players. Quarterback Kirk Cousins had the best game of his career CONTINUED ON PG 32

SELF-PROCLAIMED EXPERT, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 30 last week so he’ll be looking to build on success. The Panthers are one of the two remaining undefeated teams as of Monday night. They also have a three-game lead in the NFC South and a two-game lead for the best record in the entire NFC. Yes, things are going well in Carolina and it starts with the defense. The Panthers are allowing just 19.4 points per game, which ranks sixth in the league. They’re also third in the NFL with their 28.3 points scored per game. Hmm…lots of points scored and not many points allowed. I wonder why this team in 9-0. Cam Newton’s athleticism is still astounding in his fifth season. He’s rushed for six touchdowns and thrown for another 15 scores. A team that hasn’t won on the road against a team that hasn’t lost. I’ll take my chances. PICK VS. SPREAD: Football Team (+8.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Panthers.
KANSAS CITY CHIEFS (4-5) at SAN DIEGO CHARGERS (2-7) Don’t look now (or do, I don’t care), but the Chiefs have won three games in a row and are right back in the AFC playoff race after previously losing five straight games. Not only have they won, but they’ve won convincingly over quality opponents. They beat the Steelers by 10 before annihilating the Lions (not exactly a quality opponent, but they beat the Packers). The coup de gråce was last week’s dismantling of the Broncos. It was a statement win on the road. KC is tied for sixth in the NFL in sacks with 26. They’re one off the league lead in interceptions with 13 as a team. Philip Rivers is going to have to be extra careful in this one. Defensively, the Chargers are basically the polar opposite of the Chiefs. San Diego is 22nd in sacks and 25h in interceptions. What does that mean? Quarterbacks have been extremely comfortable in the pocket against the Chargers. That explains why the Chargers are 28th in the league in scoring defense, allowing 27.7 points per game. Rivers
is on pace for nearly 700 pass attempts, but his passer rating is over 100, so he’s had a hot hand despite throwing nearly every offensive snap. The Chargers offense has been decimated by injuries. It’s hard to envision them knocking off the red-hot Chiefs. PICK VS. SPREAD: Chiefs (-2.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Chiefs.
SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS (3-6) at SEATTLE SEAHAWKS (4-5) The 49ers are 0-4 on the road and they’re starting Blaine Gabbert against the Seattle defense. Does anyone actually think this is going to go well?

For as good as Minnesota’s defense has been, they don’t take the ball away very often. The unit has just 11 takeaways, which ranks in the bottom third of the league.

BUFFALO BILLS (5-4) at NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS (9-0) When the Bills play the Patriots, just chalk it down as a loss for Buffalo, right? Not so fast. LeSean McCoy leads a legitimately dangerous Bills running game. Shady has gone for 112 games in each of the past two games on just 16 and 19 carries, respectively. Sammy Watkins is finally healthy and proving he can make big plays. Quarterback Tyrod Taylor is playing better than anyone expected. About the only thing to nit-pick about the Bills is that their high-priced defense has been less than impressive. It’s been downright terrible at times, such as Week 2 against New England. You have to wonder if Tom Brady doesn’t just laugh when he sees Buffalo coming up on the schedule. He’s owned this team at a historic rate. That said, the Patriots will be without two of Brady’s top receiving threats in Dion Lewis and Julian Edelman. Who they will have is tight end Rob Gronkowski, who is on pace for 1,400 yards and 14 touchdowns — just another ho-hum season for the league’s best tight end. Those numbers will probably go even higher with Lewis and Edelman out. Bills in New England. Forget about what I said earlier. Chalk it down as a loss. PICK VS. SPREAD: Patriots (-7.5).

Devils Complete Sweep Of Morrisville State Contributed Article FSU Sports Information Dept.
Fredonia completed a weekend sweep of Morrisville State with a 4-2 win Saturday night at Steele Hall. Down 2-1 midway through the third period, the Blue Devils scored three times in a span of three minutes on goals by Oskar Gerhardson (Haessleholm, Sweden), Taylor Bourne (Cal-
gary, Alberta), and Marcus Ortiz (Richardson, Texas). Kyle Jelinski (Edmonton, Alberta) had a goal and assist to earn the first star. Ortiz earned the second star and Morrisville State's Danny Liscio was the third star. Liscio had a goal and assist. CJ Stubbs also scored for the Mustangs. Jeff Flagler (Owen Sound, Ont.) made 35 saves in the Fredonia net. Morrisville State's CJ Sharp made 40 saves.
Fredonia improved to 2-2-1 in the SUNYAC and 3-2-1 overall. The loss dropped the Mustangs to 1-5-0. Liscio opened the scoring just 47 seconds into the game with a shot from the slot. The Blue Devils pulled even when Jelinski scored off a rebound at 7:08 of the first period. Stubbs put the Mustangs back on top with a shot from the slot midway through the second period.
It stayed 2-1 until Fredonia's third-period outburst. Gerhardson scored with a shot from the point after Jelinski won a faceoff. Bourne scored the game-winner after receiving a pass from behind the net by Bobby Polachek (Kingston, Pa.). Ortiz closed the scoring at the 9:24 mark following a cross-ice pass from Jimmy Morgan (Highlands Ranch, Col.)
JCC COACHING CAROUSEL, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 29 to have a great program. That means having good people doing the right things.” The Jayhawks are off to a nice start this season and Sisson notes that it has everything to do with the roster depth and dedication of the guys on his team. “I’ve got a good group of guys,” he said. “I like them a lot. The thing I like about them is their energy that they bring every day. It’s easy to coach when the guys are competitive and are ready to go every day. I like the roster from one through fifteen. If you take a day off in practice, you get exposed. I’ve had teams in the past where we have seven or eight great players and then there’s a drop off. Those seven or eight guys don’t have to practice hard because you don’t get exposed. Every day in practice for us is a grind. I think that depth is going to be our calling card. We compete every day.” The recruiting process will be different with the men’s team. When Sisson led the women, he took pride in bringing in the best of the best from Chautauqua County, but he admits that he’ll have to branch out a bit to find the best men’s team. “Obviously New York City is a great opportunity for us because there are a million players down there,” Sisson said. “You’d like to think you can go down there and attract a few to come play up here. In Chautauqua County you’re starting to be limited in the number of players. “We’re thankful to have two really good local players in Tanner Dahl from Westfield and Cody Johnson from Cassadaga Valley. So we’ve got those two local guys and we’re really glad to have them. It’s going to have to continue to be a mix of guys from all over if we want to be competitive.” Jim Rissel, who came over with Sisson from the women’s program, and Xavier Churnac share the sidelines as assistant coaches. “Xavier is a New York City boy that came to JCC and played for Cordovano,” Sisson said of Churnac. “He went on to get a scholarship at Edinboro University. He moved back to the area and we were able to bring him back in to work with us. He has a tremen-
dous story. He’s a great role model for my players. “Rissel is obviously terrific,” he continued. “He takes care of our community service and he’s really great with our guys. No one can ever be mad at Coach Rissel.” While Sisson is clearly excited to be back in the men’s game, he’s excited to see what Wells can do with the women’s program. “It’s been important for me to stay away and let Travis establish his own way,” Sisson said. “I want their program to be good. The definition of ‘good’ isn’t necessarily wins and losses. The definition of a good program is to make sure the players are coached well and to show them what it means to be a Jayhawk — academically, athletically and socially. Obviously I want to see them have success.” That success is now in the hands of Wells, who has been a staple of JCC women’s basketball through three coaching regimes. “When I first started, Ed Bradford was the head coach,” Well explained. “I worked with him for four years. Then Keith Martin got the job and I was an assistant with Keith for 18 years.” Wells now has to coach in the shadow of not only Sisson, but also Martin, who is the JCC athletic director. With the previous two women’s head coaches in the same building, the pressure might get to some. “It’s actually more of a comfort,” Wells refuted. “I know I can go to either one of them and talk to them. If there’s any pressure having them around, it’s more of a good pressure.” Like the previous clipboard holders, Wells plans on utilizing the deep talent pool that Chautauqua County has to offer. “I’m going to keep it as local as possible,” he said emphatically. “I’ll bring in a few girls from the outside, but if we can keep the best of the best from Chautauqua County, we’ll be able to compete. We’ve done it all my time with George and Keith and Ed. The opportunity to play college athletics is incredible. These local kids deserve it.”
Wells earned his first career head coaching win on Nov. 1 with a two-point victory over Tompkins Cortland Community College. “I knew the season was going to be a struggle with only two returning players,” Wells admitted. “That’s part of the deal. Our goal every day is to get better and to be playing our best ball in February and March. If we can compete and get better, I’ll be happy.” Like Sisson with Churnac and Rissel, Wells is also blessed with a fantastic assistant coach. “Howard Jones has been great,” Well said. “He played college ball at Corning Community College and blew out his knee. He’s a student at Fredonia. He’s an intern here at JCC. He’s been a godsend. He knows the game so well. He gets long great with the team. I was looking and looking for an assistant and I was panicking a little bit. We were about to start the season and I didn’t have anyone. Luckily we found Howard and he’s doing such a great job.” Just beginning his first season as a head coach, Wells hasn’t thought too much about his own future. “I’ll do this until it’s not fun,” he said. “Right now, it’s a lot of fun.” Stefan Gestwicki is the sports editor of the Chautauqua Star.

Devils Look To Build Trust, Wins To Follow
Contributed Article

FSU Sports Information Dept.
The Fredonia men's basketball team will be following a different approach toward this season than they have in the past. Third-year coach Philip Seymore will develop his team's philosophy around legendary college basketball coach John Wooden's "Pyramid of Success." "We haven't really talked of how many wins we would like to reach this year," Seymore said. "Rather, we talked of what we can do to be successful as a team, whether it is through building character, showing loyalty to teammates, or accepting responsibility." The Blue Devils open the season Tuesday when they take on Lycoming at the Steele Hall Fieldhouse. Tip off is set for 6 p.m. Doors open at 5 p.m. Leadership will play the key role in how the Blue Devils follow that plan this season. Two seniors, Alexander Grace (Bemus Point, N.Y. / Maple Grove) and Eric Zwierlein (Nichols, N.Y. / Tioga), as well as sophomore Ian Helps (Bronx, N.Y. / Greater New York Academy), were named captains and will be expected to carry the team philosophy with them on and off the court. Zwierlein is the team's only four-year member. He has started 17 games and been a key figure off the bench. Grace is a high-energy player and has started 27 games in his two seasons with Fredonia. Helps, a 6'6'' sophomore, put together a strong freshman season which earned him the SUNYAC Rookie of the Year award, and D3hoops.com All Region Team. He averaged 14.0 points and 8.7 rebounds per game to rank 10th and third, respectively, in the conference. The also converted 53.8 percent of his field goals, ranking fourth in the SUNYAC, and he added 30 blocks and 21 steals. John Kovach (Shoreham, N.Y. / Shoreham-Wading River), returns to the team after a one-year absence. As a sophomore, the 6'4'' forward averaged 9.5 points and 5.5 rebounds per game. A quartet of sophomores return from Seymore's first recruiting class: Tremaine Shelton (Buffalo, N.Y. / Buffalo Academy for Visual & Performing Arts), Jovohn Owens (Buffalo, N.Y. / Hutch Tech), Justin Tapper (White Plains, N.Y. / White Plains), and Dante Williams (Buffalo, N.Y. / Hutch Tech). The 6'8'' Shelton started 19 times and had a teambest 36 blocks. Tapper, a 6'5 forward, and Owens, at 6'3'', and both came off the bench last season. Willams started a pair of games. Three junior college players have been added to the mix. Kasean Jackson (Ridgewood, N.Y. / Grover Cleveland), Kareem Brown (Brooklyn, N.Y. / Brooklyn H.S. for Law & Tech), and Richard De La Cruz (Washington Heights, N.Y. / Norman Thomas) are expected to each be key factors throughout the
A
season. Brown averaged 10.9 points per game while connecting on 78 three pointers over two seasons at LaGuardia Junior College. Jackson averaged 5.8 points and dished out 68 assists while starting 24 games for Jamestown Community College last season. De La Cruz last played collegiately in the 2012-13 season at Finger Lakes Community College, where he averaged 14.3 points as a sophomore. "Each player brings their unique style of play to the game," Seymore said. "They each serve as a threat and hopefully when they come together as one, things will fall into place. The top freshmen, so far, have been point guard Brandon Hodge (Brentwood, N.Y. / Central Islip) and Jared Fish (Salamanca, N.Y. / Salamanca). Seymore believes Hodge has the savvy to push for time on the relatively young squad. The 6'7'' Fish is a versatile big man. "He's a real good passer with a high basketball IQ," Seymore said. "He can contribute at both ends of the floor." A trio of other freshmen guards round out the lineup. Tyler Roberts (Rochester, N.Y. / Wheatland-Chili), Matt Cieslik (Buffalo, N.Y. / City Honors), Matt Fritz (Buffalo, N.Y. / St. Joe's) and Brian Baril (Cambria Heights, N.Y. / Monsignor Scanlan). "This is the hardest working team I have had so far in my time here," Seymore said. "I feel that this group can find success if they follow the guidelines of the pyramid and it will help make us a better all around team."
Devils Fall To Lycoming In Season Opener
B N g t S J s c fi s M f R 6 S l t t E
Fredonia got off to a quick start, one it was unable to sustain Tuesday in a 69-49 season-opening loss to Lycoming at the Steele Hall Fieldhouse. The Blue Devils held a 24-11 lead with 5:21 left in the C first half. The Warriors scored the final 12 points of the F first half and scored the first four points of the second half to complete a game-altering 16-0 run for a 27-24 C lead. Fredonia never regained the lead. t Calvin Chandler led Lycoming's balanced offense with p 12 points, all from beyond the arc where he was 4 of 6. Nykolas King added 11 points, and David Johnson and A K Chris Wallace had 10 points each. t Kasean Jackson (Ridgewood, N.Y.) and Ian Helps i (Bronx, N.Y.) led the Blue Devils with 10 points each. 1 Helps also grabbed 10 rebounds while Dante Williams M (Buffalo, N.Y.) had eight rebounds. fi Fredonia's other stat of note was five blocked shots by S Tremaine Shelton (Buffalo, N.Y.), the first four coming o in his first three minutes off the bench in the first half. C Shelton's rim-guarding defense was a factor as the Blue Devils were building their early lead. So where a pair R M of long-range treys by Jackson. p Up 12-11 at the time, Brandon Hodge (Brentwood, F N.Y.) knocked down a three-point to start a 12-0 Fredo-n nia run. Jackson followed with a three-pointer and 1 then a layup following a teammate's offensive rebound. N Shelton muscled in a layup before Helps closed out the T run with a jumper. The Warriors turned up their defense and forced four C Fredonia turnovers -- the Blue Devils made 24 in the m game -- and five missed field goals to close out the half. w

Ullmark was well-positioned to stop each one. The Sabres looked much better in the second period, and came close to tying the game when O'Reilly spun hard inside the blue line before laying the puck off to Rasmus Ristolainen, whose deflected shot hit Niemi. A pair of good saves came late in the second, as Ullmark stopped Patrick Eaves point blank and Niemi leapt to corral Jamie McGinn's deflection. Both teams struggled to generate real danger in the offfensive end, and Cody Franson's shot through traffic was caught easily by Niemi. That's when Spezza gave the Stars some breathing room, deflecting Alex Goligoski's shot after the defenseman glided into the slot with the puck before firing a low shot toward Ullmark's five hole. After O'Reilly got Buffalo on the score-
board, Goligoski sent a clearance over the glass to give Buffalo another power play, and Reinhart fired a hard shot from the left past Niemi to tie the score. But a coach's challenge saw Ennis enter the zone before the puck, and Buffalo's equalizer was taken away. Sabres coach Dan Bylsma called timeout before a late faceoff in the Dallas zone, but the Stars won the draw and Seguin scored an empty-net goal with less than 1 1/2 minutes to go.

CASTILE, N.Y. -- Fredonia will have two runners in the NCAA Division III Men's Cross Country championship race next weekend. A pair of seniors, Collin Mulcahy (Batavia, N.Y.) and Kyle Collins (Suffern, N.Y.), will be part of the national field next Saturday at Lake Breeze Golf Course in Winneconne, Wisconsin, after finishing in the top 10 at Saturday's NCAA Atlantic Regional. Mulcahy finished eighth while Collins was ninth in a field of 288 runners over the 8,000-meter Letchworth State Park layout. They were separated by 2.1 seconds --- Collins covering the distance in 25:33.5 and Collins in 25:35.6. Rounding out Fredonia's top five were junior Cody Martini (Palmyra, N.Y.) in 74th, junior Bobby Cooper (Macedon, N.Y.) in 108th, and freshman Ethan Francis (Dunkirk, N.Y.) in 109th. Displacement runners were freshman Joe Northup (Waterloo, N.Y.) in 116th and sophomore Merlin Joseph Jr. (Binghamton, N.Y.) in 187th. The Blue Devils finished 11th out of 41 teams. Collins burst out quickly -- he was eighth after 2,000 meters -- and hung on to his positioning throughout, while Mulcahy got off to a slightly slower start. He
