Holiday Crunch Time

By Katy Wise Contributing Writer

We are officially less than one month away from Christmas! Well at least by the time that you are reading this paper, we will be. The holidays come with so much to do, how does one maintain their sanity? Particularly one with small children? Or any children at all for that matter? And for the record, that means nothing against kids. The only thing it means is that kids take time. Â I am constantly asked how I am able to get everything done with three little kids. The truth is that it's by the grace of God, but there are some shortcuts that I've learned over the past five years. Be prepared and set a budget. Really, the idea of making a Christmas list is so underrated. Lists are one of the very best ways to stay on top of things. My kitchen counter and desk are usually filled with to do lists, cleaning lists, shopping lists, etc. Set a general idea of what you would like to spend per person, and if there is a specific item you already C have in mind, write it down along with your best estimation of the price. While we are on this topic, if you plan on doing any Black Friday shopping, by all means make a list! Look through the ads (you can find most of them online) and write down exactly what you expect to buy, with prices. It is so very easy to get distracted by all of the other sales going on in the store, and to buy many things Go to http://www.momontimeout.com/2011/12/christmas-shopping-list-printable/ to print out a copy of this that you don't need just because they're on sale. list online!

Perhaps you have a room or closet specifically for stashing presents, this will be the easiest way to stay ahead of the game. Be realistic. The point always is to remember why you are celebrating and to not get distracted by the details. As soon as I have 5-10 presents, I wrap, label and stash under the tree. This is easier than the kids accidentally seeing a present and trying to explain either that I am saying this because I am a very detail-oriented person, and I myself can easit's for Christmas or that it isn't even theirs. ily be distracted by sprinkles and wrapping paper.

The Chautauqua Watershed Conservancy is pleased to announce that Bemus Point resident Christy Verbosky is the winner of their Leave the Leaves Fall Giveaway. Christy has received a mulching lawn mower, courtesy of Everydays True Value in Jamestown. The contest encouraged people to mulch their leaves this fall instead of bagging them or piling them at the curb. Mulching leaves provides nutrients to feed lawns, reducing the need for fertilizer. Leaves left on the curb can wash into storm drains or local waterways, providing the excess nutrients that fuel nuisance plant and algae growth, which interferes with boating, fishing, and swimming fun next summer. The CWC offers free technical assistance to landowners who wish to make watershed-friendly improvements to their properties. Interested landowners can call the CWC at 716-664-2166 or email info@chautauquawatershed.org. The CWC would like to thank Everydays True Value and SlickText for partnering with them in this contest. The Chautauqua Watershed Conservancy is a local not-for-profit land trust and watershed education organization that works to protect water quality through the conservation of lands that store, filter and deliver clean water to the county’s lakes, streams, and drinking water supplies.

CHAMBER CORNER, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 ciation, New York Association of Convenience Stores, and many others. Minimum Wage Reality Check says that increasing the state’s minimum wage to $15 an hour will negatively impact all New Yorkers. It will put many struggling small businesses, family farms, and non-profits out of the business. For others, it will cause a reduction in jobs and reduced employee hours. The Business Council estimates that the costs of everyday products will rise dramatically, and that local governments will be forced to raise taxes and reduce services. The total impact on private sector labor costs is expected to reach $15.7-billion a year. Heather Bricetti, President of The Business Council, said, “The Business Council believes that the state’s long-term economic strategy requires improvements in the state’s overall competitiveness. Imposing significant cost increases on employers is contrary to that objective.” We strongly encourage you to visit the Minimum Wage Reality Check website, and follow the movement on Facebook and Twitter. Social media is the new grassroots when it comes to political activism, and we applaud the coalition for doing its homework and putting together this much needed drive to focus on a needlessly expensive proposal for New York State. Small Business Saturday Focuses on Shop Local Movement Once again this year the Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce is a Neighborhood Champion for Small Business Saturday. We whole-heartedly support the move to Shop Small and Shop Local, and for our county we add the tagline “Shop-Tauqua.” For every $100 shopping dollars spent at a locally owned business, $68 goes back into the local economy. Our objective, always, is to drive foot traffic into local business and to help boost the sales of our local, Chamber member businesses. These businesses are the life-blood of our local economy. They include small retailers, local restaurants, specialty shops, agri-businesses, wineries, artists and galleries, and many others. Watch for our special ads list-

ing Chamber member businesses that will be open on Small Business Saturday, November 28. In addition, as the holiday season approaches, we remind you that the Chamber’s Shop-Tauqua Gift Checks make perfect thank you gifts for employees, friends, and family. They can be used just like cash at over 80 local businesses, and help to support our local Chamber member merchants and restaurants.

70th Anniversary Of The Nuremberg Trials

Contributed Article Robert H Jackson Center

Seventy years have passed since the world stopped to listen to the opening statement of the trial against major Nazi war criminals before the International Military Tribunal (IMT) at the Palace of Justice in the city of Nuremberg, Germany. The Opening Address was masterfully delivered by Justice Robert H. Jackson as Chief U.S. Prosecutor. Assembled in the courtroom that day were four teams of prosecutors, an international group of judges representing the Allied nations (United States, Great Britain, France and Russia), twenty-one German defendants, and dozens of officials and media representatives from across the globe. The trial began on November 20, 1945 and ended on October 1, 1946. The IMT was tasked to try twenty-three of the most important political and military leaders of the Third Reich; although defendant Martin Bormann was tried in absentia, and defendant Robert Ley committed suicide within a week of the trial's commencement. Months before Jackson entered the courtroom of the trial at Nuremberg, he had worked through the rough draft of the opening statement to clearly articulate his acute sense of responsibility as a prosecutor and to exercise just the right tone of restraint. It was his primary objective to hold Nazi leaders, accused of the devastating crime of “aggressive war-making,” accountable within the reckonable framework of the law. To do so, it was his decision that the trial be based on documentary evidence rather than eyewitness testimony. While the decision would rely less on potentially dramatic witness testimony, it provided an irrefutable record of the Nazi’s calculated plan to annihilate all Jewish individuals from the face of the earth. So, as Jackson stood at the podium in the courtroom of this historic trial, he formally acknowledged the bench, and then recognized “[t]he privilege of opening the first trial in history for crimes against the peace of the world …”. Jackson then brilliantly captured both the honor and the grave responsibility he felt in this single, remarkable phrase: “That four great nations flushed with victory and stung with injury, stay the hand of vengeance and voluntarily submit their captive enemies to the judgment of the law is one of the most significant tributes that Power has ever paid to Reason.” The full text of the speech is available through this link to the Jackson Center’s website: https://www.roberthjackson.org/speechand-writing/opening-statement-before-the-international-military-tribunal Described as "the greatest trial in history" by Sir Norman Birkett, one of the British judges who presided over it, the trial against major war criminals before the IMT set a precedent for the structure of international criminal law. The formation of the IMT has influenced the world with subsequent trials from Sierra Leone to the former Yugoslavia, Cambodia, The Hague, and Rwanda. International prosecutors who have attended the Jackson Center’s annual International Humanitarian Law Dialogs at Chautauqua Institution each August readily attest to the important role Jackson’s Nuremberg legacy has played in their own work to apply the rule of law to perpetrators of war crimes. In commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the trial, the Memorium Nuremberg Trials in the City of Nuremberg invited some of the last eyewitnesses of the trial to the historic Court Room 600 on November 20, 2015. The witnesses, Dr. Yves Beigbeder, former assistant of the French judge, Henri Donnedieu de Vabres, Father Moritz Fuchs, former body guard of Justice Jackson and Dr. George Sakheim, former interpreter, will talk about their experiences in the years 1945 and 1946. The panel discussion was introduced and moderated by Elizabeth S. Lenna Fellow Professor John Q. Barrett of St. John's School of Law in New York, NY. In addition to the event in Nuremberg, the Jackson Center is recognizing the 70th anniversary of the trial in many exciting ways. On Thursday evening, November 19, 2015, Jackson Center co-founder and Board member Gregory L. Peterson

spoke at the Warren County Courthouse on Robert H. Jackson: Opening Greatest Criminal Trial in 20th Century. In December, the Center will offer a preview of its new exhibit, Justice Matters: the Road to Nuremberg, with a grand opening in January 2016. The exhibit focuses on Justice Jackson’s pretrial work; in particular, the drafting of the London Agreement and Charter in August 1945. On Wednesday, December 22, 2015, WNED Buffalo/Toronto will air, for the first time on PBS, the documentary film Liberty Under Law: The Robert H. Jackson Story at 10:00 PM EST. This inaugural airing will be followed by several additional screenings of the documentary on other PBS affiliates across the country in 2016. Beginning in December 2015, through October 2016, the Jackson Center will provide a monthly series of articles in the Post Journal relying on Justice Jackson’s personal oral history and diary during that period of time. Readers will also be provided a link to view companion video footage to deepen their engagement with Jackson’s diary reflections. Additionally, the Center’s website will feature video clips on relevant days in history when a particular event occurred, so visitors can experience the trial over the course of the year as it mimics the unfolding of the event itself. Additional video, interviews, highlights of Jackson Center events, will be available on the Center’s YouTube channel. In 2016, the Center will partner with local businesses and attractions to feature a number of different initiatives centered on From Jamestown to Nuremberg, which would include a showcase of what life was like during the period of the trial in Jamestown from 1945 - 1946. In October 2016, the Jackson Center and the Reg Lenna Theater will partner to bring the world-renowned L.A. Theater Works’ production of Judgement at Nuremberg to the Reg Lenna stage. Additional films and lectures will be provided to underscore the significance of Justice Jackson’s work in Nuremberg and how his framework of justice addresses international conflicts today. Finally, the 10th Annual International Humanitarian Dialogs will be held in Nuremberg, Germany on September 30, 2016 – October 3, 2016. The trip CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

The Weekly Word

DEMONIC THINKING

Rev. Timothy Stahlman Family Church Jamestown fcjamestown.org

Everybody, even Christians, can easily fall into destruction if they do not discipline the mind. The mind is the piece

of real estate in which the devil has the most interest. It is the key to a man's lifestyle. It is the throttle to his decisions. It is the door to his ruin. The Bible clearly teaches us that Satan himself wants to do our thinking for us. He is the thrower of flaming darts hoping to start a fire in our minds. He is always there with his hosts suggesting a different plan than God. A person can find himself under the influence of godly thinking one minute, and then, only moments later in weakness, he can find himself planning a devilish plot. It happened in the Bible with some of the greatest men that ever lived.

The Apostle Peter is a prime example. In Matthew chapter 16, Peter and the other disciples were asked by Jesus to render an opinion of the Son of Man. In verse 13, Jesus asks them, "Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?" Peter eventually replies, "You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God." Jesus marvels over Peter's response and says to him in verse 17, "Blessed are you Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father which is in heaven." God revealed to Peter that Jesus was indeed God in the flesh. Peter's thoughts were filled with the supremacy of this

God-man named Jesus. Peter's mind was awakened to the presence of "Immanuel", God with us. Peter's heart and mind were aglow with the fact that this was not "the carpenter", the "son of Mary", or "just a prophet." He realized for the first time that he had been casting nets with God Himself. Peter's success was short lived for in the very same conversation he gave his mind over to the devil. Jesus began to describe His own death and resurrection. Peter began to focus on the death of his Master, and not the life of his Master. In verse 22, Peter took Jesus aside and rebuked Him saying,

"This shall not happen to you." Peter was rebuking God in the flesh; he was correcting perfection. Jesus simply looked at Peter and said, "Get behind me Satan... you savor the things of man and not the things of God." In the matter of a single conversation Peter went from being inspired by God to being accused of being the devil himself. Jesus knew that Peter was not indeed Satan; but He knew that the devil was doing Peter's thinking for him. God's plan was to raise Jesus from the dead; but all Peter could think about was death. God wanted to grant all men eternal life; but all Peter could think

about was the cruelty of the cross. This is what people are doing today: They allow their minds to convince them that the price is greater than the reward. Yes, it will cost you your own will to follow Christ. But the rewards are greater than the price. There is great freedom in knowing and living as the personal property of a wonderful Almighty Savior God. We must not allow our minds to forget.

Van Riper stated, “There is opportunity in Chautauqua County and we need to step up and showcase the exciting things that are happening right here and who better to show that too than our educators. We need local talented youth to consider working in our area at some very rewarding careers and stop the flow of the best and brightest from leaving our area.” Lori Svenson School Counselor for Clymer Central School District had this to say about the opportunity, “As a school counselor, part of my job is to make sure every senior has a post-graduation plan. Whether that plan includes a 2 or 4 year college education, certificate program, trade school or work, it is important for me to be familiar with our local resources. The Dream It Do It, professional development opportunity really opened up my eyes in regards

to what manufacturing companies are looking for in their employees and the many possible job opportunities. I was extremely impressed with the four companies I toured, the quality of products they manufacture and their unified goal in keeping our talented young people in the area. I would like to see more events like this in the future.” Making products in today’s manufacturing requires science, technology, engineering, mathematics and the advanced skill sets. Justin Hanft, Program Coordinator for DIDIWNY stated, “Programs such as professional development day provide experiences and information to our teachers, counselors, and administrators regarding modern manufacturing. The role of Dream It Do It is to help convey that there are rewarding career opportunities that require technical skills and provide good work environments. Professional development day is a venue to convey these important messages.”

70TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE NUREMBERG TRIALS, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6 is open to all Friends of the Jackson Center and a Master Class will also be offered by Professor John Q. Barrett during the tour. Please contact the Jackson Center for details regarding the cost of the trip, which will be available in the near future. On the 70th Anniversary of the greatest trial in history, it is the hope of the Jackson Center that the commemoration will mark the beginning of collaborative dialogue to address current and future conflicts, driven by the profound wisdom of Justice Jackson. In his Opening Statement, Justice Jackson chose the following words to characterize the meaning of the trial and the importance of extinguishing what helped foster the creation of the Nazis.

What makes this inquest significant is that these prisoners represent sinister influences that will lurk in the world long after their bodies have returned to dust. We will show them to be living symbols of racial hatreds, of terrorism and violence, and of the arrogance and cruelty of power. They are symbols of fierce nationalisms and of militarism, of intrigue and warmaking which have embroiled Europe generation after generation, crushing its manhood, destroying its homes, and impoverishing its life…. Civilization can afford no compromise with the social forces which would gain renewed strength if we deal ambiguously or indecisively with the men in whom those forces now precariously survive. Robert H. Jackson, Chief Counsel for the United

States Prosecution of Nazi War Criminals (1945). The Robert H. Jackson Center’s mission is to advance public awareness and appreciation of the principles of liberty under the rule of law as embodied in the achievements and legacy of Robert H. Jackson, U.S. Supreme Court Justice and Chief U.S. Prosecutor at Nuremberg. The Center is located at 305 East Fourth Street, Jamestown, NY. Tours are available from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m., Monday – Friday and from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. on Saturdays. E-mail us at info@roberthjackson.org or visit us online at www.roberthjackson. org.

How Your Phone Can Help During The Holidays

By Brad Jarrett Contributing Writer

The holidays are certainly a busy time; but what a gift. We’re able to come together with friends, family, and loved ones to partake in the holiday festivities. Whether it’s eating a feast of epic proportions, watching a football game, or

spending time around the fire, we are certainly blessed to enjoy the days. As Zig Zigglar says, “If you don’t think every day is special, try missing one of them.” I understand the holidays seem stressful. The worry of picking the right gift, attending all parties, and cooking enough food certainly adds up. That’s why it’s the perfect time for one of my favorite activities! You’re going to laugh, but I set an alarm in my phone that says “What’s perfect right now?” so three times a day my alarm goes off and I look down to that message. When I see it, I think of one thing that’s perfect in my life. This exercise is so simple, but its effects can be profound IF you’re willing to commit to it. And in case you don’t believe anything in your life is perfect;

let’s drive some awareness. You’re reading this newspaper which means a few things: •You can read •If you can read, you have the ability to comprehend •If you can comprehend, you have the ability to learn •If you have the ability to learn, you have the ability to do anything On top of that: •You have enough free time to read leisurely •You live in a country that gives you the right to read whatever you’d like WOW!! When you look at it that way, it seems some things in your life are perfect. In fact, you are BLESSED! As human beings we have an uncanny ability to focus on the negative. We see stress that

comes with the holiday, extra travel time, and additional cooking. Thinking this way is certain to do one thing; put you in a bad mood! And if you’re in a bad mood; you’re more stressed. What a devastating cycle. Consider this; on the day of thanksgiving a woman wakes up early to prep the turkey, as she walks to the kitchen she realizes there is no stuffing! In a hurried frenzy she quickly walks out the door letting it slam behind her. As it slams, a picture falls off the wall and shatters. She then, becoming even more upset, goes back in the house to clean the mess. Once cleaned, she leaves even more hurriedly and drives to the store. Arriving at the store, she begins to walk so quickly her cart bashes into another women, who is coincidentally in the same type of situation. Infuriated they yell

at one another until both are to the point of tears. They go their separate ways, finish their shopping, and head home. By the time they walk in the door they’re exhausted. They continue to trudge through the day cooking a meal for 15 people. By the time company arrives they are on their last nerve. How do you think this woman is going to act around her loved ones? Will she enjoy the day? Or be wishing it was over? The answer is obvious. How could this situation have changed? By altering her reaction! Instead of stressing, she could take a deep breath, and think of something that’s perfect in her life. Could this simple thought CONTINUED ON PAGE 17

Christmas Toy Safety Most products give you the age appropriate range, that is for both the developmental stage the child is likely in as well as for safety reasons. If the product says not for ages under 3, it is likely due to a safety reason - toys with small parts are not good for under 3. Little kids put everything in their mouths which poses a risk of injury due to choking, swallowing or poisoning. By Tonja Dodd Generally speaking children Contributing Writer will play with similar toys in the following stages: children Most of us will be starting our under 6 months, 7 - 12 months, holiday shopping this weekend. one year old, two years old and 3 - 5 years old. Also kids of When shopping for children, all ages, starting at birth, like buying developmentally appropriate toys are the best - not music, lullabies and to be read to - so, start right away with only will the child in your life music and books! Children enjoy it, the child will learn under 6 months like rattles, and grow from playing with the toy/activity. Also, if you are soft dolls, easy to grasp balls, shopping for children, consider and mobiles. Children up to safety concerns before making a year will manipulate objects more and also start to sort, put the final purchase. things in and out and press

buttons. Soft our rounded blocks and puzzles and nesting cups are example toys. At age two, children are getting good at mastering the toddler equipment at the playground and start to play make-believe and engage in social play. They like to to string and lace, are more advanced at puzzles, counting toys and like activities that appeal to all senses for instance. Concerning safety, make sure there are no electrical parts, toxic materials, anything sharp or strings that hang; avoid small balls as well; toys should be safe for mouthing, and won’t pinch or entrap toes, fingers, hair. High-powered magnet sets are dangerous and should be kept away from children under 14 and small magnets should be kept from small children. Bicycles, scooters, skateboards and other sports are great at challenging your child and helping them to develop appro-

priate physical skills. Be aware that they may cause injury and you should take precaution. If you gift these types of toys for your little one(s), adhere to the safety suggestions and also give the appropriate helmet and safety gear like elbow and knee pads or goggles. Encourage your children to play safely while they play. Keep deflated balloons away form children younger than 8 years. Check toys often for broken parts and get them fixed or throw them away. Store toys in a safe spot - use shelves, bins and toy boxes to prevent trips and falls. In one of my favorite Olivia stories (by Ian Falconer), Olivia’s Mom insists that Olivia pick up her toys up off the floor so that she “won’t break her neck”. Once your child receives toys from Santa this year, be sure to check for recalls. Often there are toys that are recalled due to safety concerns. Check

the Consumer Product Safety Commission, cpsc.gov site. As I was researching toy safety, I came across a new threat in your home - it is button batteries. A child can swallow a button battery and suffer dangerous chemical burns in as little as two hours. Button batteries can be found in gadgets such as: •keyless entry remotes •wireless game controls •digital scales and thermometers •watches •musical greeting cards •calculators and •flashing jewelry/shoes. Do not leave products with accessible button batteries within reach of children! Happy shopping.

HOW YOUR PHONE CAN HELP DURING THE HOLIDAYS, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 15 transform her day? All we need is a slight paradigm shift. Instead of looking at the negative, see things from a point of gratitude. This silly phone reminder is the tool that causes the shift. “Gratitude” will be said a million times within the next month. But you have to understand the meaning of the word for it to sit in your heart. It is easy to say things, it’s harder to understand them, and it’s even more challenging to act in accordance with them. The definition of gratitude is “the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness.” You see, when we

have a spirit of gratitude we are not only appreciative; we’re also ready to return kindness. How will you show your gratitude today? I am asking you to pick one person, look them directly in the eyes and say “I am so grateful to have you in my life.” You watch what words will do when said from the heart. I am grateful for you. Thank you for taking time out of the day to read this article. It’s my hope that it will be a blessing to your day and life. From me, and my family, please be safe, and enjoy your holiday!

There are some 3,250 miles between Ireland and Jamestown, New York. That’s the distance that four young women traveled to intern with the Jamestown Community College athletic training staff this semester. Catriona Daly, Eadaoin Wall, Laura Glynn and Niamh White are students at the Athlone Institute of Techonogy in Athlone, Co. Westmeath, Ireland. “As part of our course we have to do an internship of 480 hours abroad,” Wall explained. “It was set up by a women in Buffalo and ( JCC head athletic trainer) Aimee (Brunelle). They did the placements and we got to come to Jamestown.” “I was asked back in January at a conference in Philadelphia,” Brunelle elaborated. “The coordinator lives in Buffalo and she was looking for some new placements. She started asking me about what sports we had and about my interest in it. After a little discussion with some people here, we got everything set. “The only hesitation was were they ready to make that transition from the clinical skills to applying it to athletics,” Brunelle continued. “Their setup in Ireland is a lot different. I had heard nothing but good things about their clinical skills and they’ve proven that time and time again.” Originally the plan called for only Daly and Glynn to come to Jamestown, but thanks to some other placements falling through, the four students were able to stick together — a scenario that suited them just fine. “We’re all good friends so it’s been a lot easier with the four of us being together,” Daly said. “Everyone here has been so great. It feels like we haven’t even left home.” “Niamh and I arrived after the other

girls,” Wall explained. “They had already met people and made friends so we just kind of fell in with their group. It was great. Meeting everyone has been the best part of this.” Part of the reason that Jamestown Community College was chosen as a placement was because of the opportunity to work in sports such as wrestling and basketball, which aren’t common in Ireland. “We mainly do soccer, Gaelic football, hurling and rugby at home,” Wall said. “Our lecturers wanted us to come to a college that had some different sports.” “I’m sitting next to Catriona explaining what a travel is,” Brunelle said with a laugh. “But they demonstrated some of their sports, too. Catriona is into hurling. It’s not like curling. It’s a fast-paced sport. I think of it like a combination of lacrosse and ice hockey. We got them up in the batting cages one day. They’ve enjoyed learning about different sports.” Daly and Glynn headed back to Ireland

last Saturday while White and Wall will be in Jamestown until Jan. 11. The quartet will finish with their classes in May before graduating in October. For everyone involved, the experience was nothing short of a brilliant success. “I give all the credit to Aimee Brunelle,” JCC athletic director Keith Martin praised. “To have these four young ladies come over here and do the job that they’ve done has been so much help, not just to our training staff but to our athletes. It’s something that we hope will continue and to grow even more. We love to have these young people come over and experience American athletics. They’ve been a joy to have.” “It couldn’t have gone better,” Brunelle echoed. “They were everything I was hoping for and more.” “It’s been the best,” Wall concluded. “I’ll 100 percent recommend it to people back home.”

Last year the Furies made their first Division 1 Playoff Appearance in Omaha, Nebraska and the team represented Buffalo and WNY in international competition against teams from Helsinki, New York City and Toronto. As the Furies look to get back to Division 1 Playoffs this year the roster includes 15 returning skaters and 2 new rookies - Niagara Roller Girls transfer Dana Scullcrusher and Queen's Court graduate Rosi. Longtime veteran B'kini Whacks is taking the year off, and last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alternates Celery Stalk-HER, Her Heiny Grainger and Wrecks Kitten will anchor the return of a QCRG B Team this year. Furies Captain and longtime league veteran Tabrina Schreier is excited to refocus for the 2016 season, "The Furies are looking to return with most of our core. We have added a couple new faces who will strengthen us and we're going to have to fight for every ranking point this year to get back into D1. We had a couple of weeks off to heal physically and mentally prepare. Now we work to tighten up our defense and improve our offense. Personally I can't wait to see how we do this season because we improve every time we practice, watch game footage or just hang out together." Furies skater Librawlian and Vile Love It will be coaching the B Team this year after the league ran without one last year. Librawlian sees how the return of the B Team will help push the Furies even farther, "Cultivating a strong B Team is essential to the Furies continued growth and competitiveness within the WFTDA.

Self-Proclaimed Expert Picks: Week 12 By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

LAST WEEK VS. SPREAD: 8 -6 (.571) LAST WEEK STRAIGHT PICKS: 9-5 (.642) SEASON VS. SPREAD: 87-70-3 (.554) SEASON STRAIGHT PICKS: 10159 (.631) It seems like we’re back to the old days (of two or three years ago) of neither Detroit nor Dallas mattering a lick in the grand scheme of the NFL, but they each get their Thanksgiving games regardless. Admittedly, I probably won’t watch either of the early games. I know, I know. I’m a red-blooded American male that isn’t going to watch football on Thanksgiving. Well…except for the Packers-Bears contest later in the day. I’ll be glued to the TV for that one. Going back to this past week, I’m fairly happy with calling the Bucs-over-Eagles upset. I never expected the blowout that it was, but it’s always nice to nail an upset pick. Anyway, the holiday is changing our deadline here at the Chautauqua Star, so I’m going to try to keep this short and sweet. The self-proclaimed expert wishes every a truly happy and blessed Thanksgiving. To the picks! BYE WEEK: None. We’re done with bye weeks for 2015.

They allowed Doug Martin to run for 235 yards. Yup, there’s very little to be excited about with the Eagles. The Lions, meanwhile, have won three of their past five after last week’s win. The defense has allowed just 29 points over the past two weeks and now might be facing a Mark Sanchez-led team. The Detroit offense is hardly clicking, but perhaps a date with that atrocious Eagles defense will light a spark under Matthew Stafford, Calvin Johnson and Co. The Lions have a history of getting destroyed on Thanksgiving, but the Eagles have a ton of injuries and a very short week to prepare. PICK VS. SPREAD: Lions (even). STRAIGHT PICK: Lions.

CAROLINA PANTHERS (10-0) at DALLAS COWBOYS (3-7) Remember when the Panthers lost wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin for the season and everyone thought they were doomed? I do. I was one of those many people that threw in the towel on the Panthers’ season. Well, Cam Newton just threw five touchdown passes and the offense looks just fine. Jonathan Stewart quietly went over 100 yards. Stewart is well on his way to his first 1,000-yard season since 2009. Dallas is middle of the pack against the run, but Carolina will get its yards. Tony Romo is back! The season is saved. It sounds ludicrous, but the NFC East is so preposterously bad that the Cowboys might not even need to win out to win the division. New York leads the pack with five wins. Let’s not fool ourselves, though, the Cowboys offense was not good last Sunday. If it wasn’t for pick-six by Ronaldo McClain, PHILADELPHIA EAGLES (4-6) at there’s a good chance that Dallas loses DETROIT LIONS (3-7) its eighth straight game. Darren McFadden got 29 carries and turned them Yes, the Eagles really did just lose into 129 yards. I bet he gets hurt this 45-17 at home to the team with the week. league’s worst record last year. They allowed a rookie quarterback who Carolina isn’t going to go undefeated, had 10 touchdowns in nine games to but I can’t see them losing to Dallas. throw five against them in one game. PICK VS. SPREAD: Panthers

(even). STRAIGHT PICK: Panthers.

CHICAGO BEARS (4-6) at GREEN BAY PACKERS (7-3) A serious lack of a running game doomed Chicago as it fell just short of upsetting Denver last week. Of course, no one runs against the Broncos. There should be more running room against the Packers. The Bears offense was also missing Alshon Jeffery, who has missed a ton of time this season. Matt Forte worked out, though, and might return in this game. The Packers seemed to have found their mojo just when it seemed their season was headed down the toilet. By knocking off the Vikings on the road, Green Bay once against proved itself as the class of the NFC North. The offense still needs work, though Eddie Lacy went over 100 yards for the first time this season. Aaron Rodgers is getting beat up in the media, etc., but the guy has 23 touchdowns and three interceptions with a completion percentage over 61 percent. The yards per attempt stat is low, but he’s missing his best deep ball threat in Jordy Nelson. Three NFC North teams are playing on Thanksgiving. Oh, and the Packers are going to throttle the Bears. PICK VS. SPREAD: Packers (-10). STRAIGHT PICK: Packers.

OAKLAND RAIDERS (4-6) at TENNESSEE TITANS (2-8) Anyone that thought the Raiders were serious AFC contenders were dealt a severe reality check with three straight losses. Oakland has lost its chance, too. The schedule is brutal down the stretch with two games against the red-hot Chiefs around games against power-

w houses Denver and Green Bay. Amari e T Cooper was held to just one catch against a relatively terrible Lions de- m fense, so he’ll need to get going against a V a mediocre Titans secondary. The Titans haven’t played since losing a to Jacksonville last Thursday. A total C lack of a running game has doomed the Titans offense this season. Rookie quarterback Marcus Mariota has done nothing but meet or exceed expectations. He’s thrown 13 touchdowns to just six picks and has a 96.1 quarterback rating. This without almost any real weapons to throw to. He’ll be a very good player. How about Brian Or- T akpo? The veteran linebacker has seven a sacks in his first season with the Titans. T This one feels like a coin flip. The t Titans haven’t won at home yet (0f 5). That seems destined to change. t PICK VS. SPREAD: Titans (+1). a STRAIGHT PICK: Titans. m J t N a t f T L BUFFALO BILLS (5-5) at KANSASo t CITY CHIEFS (5-5) This game is huge. That fact is obvi- h ous. The Bills came close to knocking J off New England last week, but some C odd calls and terrible play calling led t to coming up just short. The Buffalo w pass rush was fantastic, hitting Brady M time after time. Alex Smith is similar l d to Brady in that he gets the ball out quickly. Buffalo would be wise to come T a in with a similar game plan. Offensively, Buffalo has to get going some- S how. Sammy Watkins isn’t getting used P enough. LeSean McCoy has looked good, but he can only do so much. The Chiefs are among the hottest teams in the league. They’ve now won four in a row after losing five in a row. The running game continues to flourish no matter who is back there. N Spencer Ware was the surprise star last W week with 96 yards and a pair of touch- T downs. The defense has been awesome. Returning home against another team T desperate to gain an important AFC i p E CONTINUED ON PG 23

SPORTS 23

CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2015

SELF-PROCLAIMED EXPERT, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 22 win, this crowd should be as rowdy as ever. The Bills offense has struggled against mediocre defenses. KC’s is above average. Buffalo will struggle again. PICK VS. SPREAD: N/A as of Tuesday afternoon. STRAIGHT PICK: Chiefs.

TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS (5-5) at INDIANAPOLIS COLTS (5-5) The Bucs are at .500 after having just two wins last season. There are a lot of factors contributing to that. Doug Martin has rushed for nearly 1,000 yards already. That solid running game has made life easier on rookie quarterback Jameis Winston. Mike Evans has continued to improve and will be a top-tier NFL wide receiver. Lovie Smith has also done a very nice job coaching this team. It’s an exciting time to be a Bucs fan. The Colts are now 3-0 without Andrew Luck. For a franchise that was dubbed a one-man team coming into the season, that’s about as weird a storyline as there has been this season. The Texans and Jaguars are still right there, but the Colts still look like the favorites to win the division. That should start with a win this week. The Colts defense forced Matt Ryan into some critical mistakes last week and you can expect them to do that to Winston, too. The Colts are returning home against an inferior opponent. PICK VS. SPREAD: Colts (-3). STRAIGHT PICK: Colts.

NEW YORK GIANTS (5-5) at WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM (4-6) This is a massively important game in the NFC East. The Giants haven’t played since nearly beating New England. Coming off of a bye, The

Giants are firmly in control of their own destiny. Win out and they win the division. No problem, right? Going on the road to Washington is hardly the hardest test on the schedule, but it won’t be easy. The Giants are another team that’s been hurt by a lack of running game, but Washington can definitely be passed on. The Football Team is one of just six teams that has allowed opposing quarterbacks to compile a quarterback rating of 100 or more. They don’t force turnovers and they don’t hit quarterbacks. That’s a bad combination against Eli Manning, who has been very good this season. The Giants are allowing over 110 yards per game on the ground, so perhaps that’s where Washington will look for an advantage. Washington is coming off a performance in which the offense scored just one fluky offensive touchdown. Giants are coming off a bye. PICK VS. SPREAD: Giants (-1). STRAIGHT PICK: Giants.

NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (4-6) at HOUSTON TEXANS (5-5) The Saints are another team coming off of a bye week. New Orleans won following its bye week for five straight years before falling in last season’s game. They’ll be looking to start a new streak on Sunday. The Saints will be adjusting on defense as former coordinator Rob Ryan was fired following an abysmal performance last time we saw this team. Whether that will help or not remains to be seen, but the game plan should be simple — stop DeAndre Hopkins. Houston has soared to the top (well, tied) of the AFC South after three straight wins. Two of those wins were against fellow AFC contenders in Cincinnati and the Jets. If anything, this week’s game looks easier on paper. Of course, it helps having J.J. Watt. The guy is a monster. He now leads the league with 11.5 sacks after his two-sack performance with five tackles for a loss in last week’s win. The Texans used the wildcat pretty effectively.

while sporting a 1-6 record against the rest of the league (that one win is against Cleveland). The Rams are dead last in passing yards per game and 31st in points scored. No one on the St. Louis roster has more than 31 receptions or 341 yards. Remember that Antonio Brown had 284 yards in one game. Yes, Brown would nearly be the Rams’ leading receiver with one game. The Bengals lost two games in a row. The fact that those two games both came in primetime opened up the MINNESOTA VIKINGS (7-3) at floodgates for critics of Andy Dalton ATLANTA FALCONS (6-4) and Co.

Arizona solidified its spot as a serious contender with a nice win over the Bengals last week. They’re still chasing the undefeated Panthers for the best record in the NFC, but they do hold a one-game lead for that ever-important first-round bye. Of course, the Cardinals still need to take care of business. There’s no reason the Seahawks couldn’t win out and give Arizona a run for its money. Carson Palmer is making a strong case for league MVP. The 49ers will be in the running for the first overall pick.

If this was any other backup quarterback, you might chalk it up as a certain loss, but this Denver team is legitimately great on defense. There are also a number of playmakers on offense to help Osweiler out. It’ll be interesting to see how much Denver lets the passing attack loose in this one. Trying to remain objective is difficult.

The Ravens are one of those teams that I’ve never rooted for or against, but you have to feel bad for them at this point. They just can’t catch a break.

Devils Open Season With Sights On Postseason Contributed Article FSU Sports Information Dept.

The womens basketball team's run at the SUNYAC title this year has begun. Third-year coach Linda Hill-MacDonald has her sights set on her team making a deep run in the conference tournament. Aiding the Blue Devils' efforts will be the return of their starting lineup, a pair of athletic transfers and four freshmen that have Hill-MacDonald very excited. "We can go down the bench pretty deep," she said. "We have a group that is competing for playing time at every spot. There has been healthy competition at every practice." The charge will be led by senior Sabrina Macaulay (Newark N.Y. / Newark) who was Third Team all SUNYAC a year ago. The 5'11'' forward averaged 12.1 points and 8.3 rebounds per game, as well as providing toughness under the boards. The backcourt will be led by junior Alexis Cheatham's (Lockport, N.Y. / Lockport) 14.5 points per game. Cheatham's 54 three-pointers last season ties her with Lori Taberski (1997-98) for first on the team's season list. She has 100 over two seasons, already ranking second to Taberski's 109 career threes. Cheatham's 190 career assists rank 11th in team history. Jacque Law (Machias, N.Y. / Pioneer) is the third double-digit scorer to return. Law was one of the SUNYAC's top freshman a year ago. She averaged 11.2 points and 4.3 rebounds per game. She also shown an outside touch with 27 three pointers. "She can do a little bit of everything," said Hill-MacDonald. "She's not afraid to get physical and can go up against any defender. She can also shoot and drive off the dribble." In addition to Macaulay, two other seniors will factor into the team's success. According to coach HillMacDonald, point guard Sammy Villarini (Hamburg, N.Y. / Hamburg) is one of the hardest working players she has coached and will be the team's floor general. Along with Macaulay, Katie Devine (Clarence, N.Y. / Clarence) is one of the team's co-captains. The 6'1'' senior has the length to make teams adjust their shots and runs the floor exceptionally well. A pair of juniors entering their third season with the Blue Devils -- Jamie Curry (Ransomville, N.Y. / Wilson) and Kathryn Halloran (Angola, N.Y. / Immaculata) -- have shown the ability to fill important roles with nearly identical numbers last season. Curry averaged 6.6 points and 4.4 rebounds per game while making 20 starts. Halloran went for 6.5 points and 4.7 rebounds, making 11 starts. Curry comes into this season with an improved shot and Halloran comes in with better overall fitness as they look to continue their improved play.

Emily Lasher (Wilson, N.Y. / Wilson) is the other returnee. She saw limited time as a freshman last year. Two junior transfers are among those creating competition for playing time. Taylor Storer (Gerry, N.Y. / Cassadaga Valley) was Third team All Region at Jamestown Community College as a freshman. She averaged about 10 points per game in two years and led the Jayhawks in assists both years, including 117 as a sophomore. Storer sees the floor well and has great quickness and speed. Khyshwaunna Nance (Dunkirk, N.Y. / Dunkirk) comes in from Mercyhurst College where she played softball. The Dunkirk High School product was a 1,000-point scorer for the Marauders, and returns to the sport after a two-year absence. "Khee's athleticism is unbelievable. She has quickness and speed," said coach Hill-MacDonald. "I can see her game improving daily as she gets back into the game." The freshman class will also factor in the depth of the team. Justice Nauden (Waterport, N.Y. / Charles D' Amico H.S.) is one of the top recruits and has a knack for finding the hoop. The 5'6'' guard will push for significant time as the season moves on. Sarah Sweazy (Rochester, N.Y. / Rush-Henrietta ) and Heaven Rollek (Springville, N.Y. / Springville) both come in well coached from outstanding high school programs. Sweazy is a 6' guard who gives the Devils size on the perimeter and the ability to post up smaller players. "I have been surprised at how fast she has developed," said Hill-MacDonald. Rollek plays with a great deal of passion and can rebound well for a 5'6'' guard. "She won't back down," said Hill-MacDonald.

Last but not least is Jenna Einink (Mayville, N.Y. / Chautauqua Lake). Einink will play in the front court and has shown great heart and toughness inside. MacDonald indicated that she battles the senior Macaulay every day in practice and it has made them both better. She also has the ability to step out and hit the occasional jumper.

Fredonia Improves to 2-0

ERIE, PA. -- The Fredonia women's basketball team would be hard pressed to top Friday's closing-seconds victory over Grove City, but they did their best. On Saturday, the ladies claimed the Penn State Behrend Tip-Off Tournament title with a 70-68 overtime victory vs. Hiram. Freshman Jenna Einink (Mayville, N.Y. / Chautauqua Lake) turned in her first collegiate double-double coming off the bench for 11 points and 12 rebounds. For good measure, she added five blocks and three assists en route to claiming the Tournament MVP. The previous night, she connected for a pair of free throws in the closing seconds to seal the win. Sabrina Macaulay (Newark, N.Y. / Newark) was also named All Tournament. She had 15 points and seven rebounds. Alexis Cheatham (Lockport, N.Y. / Lockport) added 16 points -- including five-ofnine shooting from beyond the arc -- off the bench. A fourth Blue Devil scoring in double digits, Jamie Curry (Ransomville, N.Y. / Wilson), added 10 points, five rebounds and five steals. After playing to a 12-all tie through the first quarter, Fredonia stalled and would find themselves down 3320 at the half after allowing the Terriers to close out the frame on a 14-3 run.
