This week we are featuring “Amillia” and “Copper”. Amillia is a sweet 2 year old white and black short hair kitty. She came to us with an injured eye, but it hasn’t changed her personality. Because of her vision issue, she will have to be an indoor cat. Copper is a 2 year old lab/pit mix. He is fun and energetic and loves to be around people. He is great with kids and other dogs, but should be in a home without cats. If either of these pets sounds like the perfect fit for your home, please come to the Strunk Road Adoption Center and meet them or any of their friends as CCHS.

throughout the whole museum. They learned a lot, played a lot and were extremely pooped out by the time we got back to the car. So pooped out that we had to postpone lunch until they were ready to wake up for a while. So if you're expecting an addition to your family soon, I highly suggest making some time for your close loved ones before your newest addition arrives. Even if you aren't adding to your family, taking some time for a family fun day every once in a while is necessary for the whole crew. If you don't feel like traveling, you could plan a day of crafting or playing games at home. Maybe a movie day where you plan a marathon along with some special snacks and pillows all over the living room. But if you do have the time to travel a little bit, here are a few ideas for ways to spend time with your kiddos. The zoo, an aquarium, the museum, an indoor play place where kids can bounce around, a special restaurant,
an indoor water park, and the list goes on. Especially once spring time is officially here, there will be tons of things to do outside after this extremely long and cold winter. The most important thing isn't what you do, it's who you do it with. That sounds like a quote that might have been taking from some inspirational poster somewhere, but if it is it wasn't intentional. It's true, though! Poster or no poster. Take some time to spend with the ones who you love the most, especially if you have little ones. They won't be little forever, so take advantage of the time that you have with them while they still can do things with you. As always, thanks for reading! Happy time with your littles from HBK!

Free Naloxone (Narcan) Opioid Overdose Response Training Available To Community CHAUTAUQUA TAPESTRY’S S.O.S. GROUP TO HOST OPIOID OVERDOSE TRAINING ON MARCH 17 Contributed Article Office of the County Executive
A free opioid overdose response training will be held at the next Strength of Support (S.O.S.) group meeting on March 17 in Dunkirk. The training is open to the public and is available to those in the com-
munity who wish to become trained to respond to an opioid overdose by administering naloxone, also known as Narcan. Narcan is an opioid antagonist which reverses opiate effects of sedation and respiratory depression during an opioid overdose. Narcan can be administered by first responders or friends and family of someone who is experiencing an opi-
ate overdose. The goal of the training is to prevent death and other negative consequences of opioid overdose by training nonmedical responders to recognize a suspected opioid overdoses and to take appropriate action. The learning objectives for participants provided by the New York State Department of Health include knowing the four risk factors for overdose, recognizing three signs of an overdose, performing techniques to stimulate someone who appears to have overdosed, correctly performing rescue breathing, and correctly administering naloxone. The training will be hosted by the S.O.S. group facilitated by Chautauqua Tapestry Family Lead Melody Morris. The S.O.S. group meets monthly and provides support and resources for people in the community impacted by the addiction of a loved one. The group recognizes
that heroin and pain medication dependency has no boundaries and provides hope and education to those who seek support. The free opioid overdose response training is open to the public and will be held the evening of Tuesday, March 17, 2015 at SUNY Fredonia Technology Incubator. Those interested in attending must register by calling (716) 753-4507 as space is limited.

Keeping the Faith
Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church Fredonia fcfredonia.org
Dear Pastor, is God in charge of everything? If I understand your question, I believe that you’re asking about God having the power and authority over
situations on earth. A religious term for this is “sovereignty”. Unfortunately, this is something that is frequently referred to in Christian circles, but is very often misunderstood. For a better understanding, we will first define what we mean by sovereignty. Sovereignty means “the state or quality of being superior and above all others”. God’s sovereignty denotes that God is all-knowing (Omniscient), all-powerful (Omnipotent), and all-present (Omnipresent). It’s hard for our finite minds to grasp the magnitude of God’s qualities. The Bible says we can only partially know the mind of God and His thoughts and capabilities.
When most people refer to the sovereignty of God, it is in the context of actions that God takes because He is God; acts that are done outside the will or interaction of man. When God created the world (Genesis 1:1), it was a sovereign act. Acts 1:7 tells us that the end of the world has also been divinely set by His power: “…It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father has put in His own power.” One of the greatest sovereign acts of God, and probably the one that causes the most confusion, was to give mankind a free will (Genesis 1:26). This gives us the power to make choices outside of the direct
intervention or will of God. God gave us free will in order that we make the choice to freely come to Him, accept salvation and love Him willingly. Due to the nature of free will, most of what we experience in life has more to do with our choices and not God’s interaction. This can be difficult for many individuals to accept because it is easier to place the blame on God rather than on our own actions. Why does this happen? Because people think that because God CAN do something…that He has the authority to do it! But God set up a system where even He couldn’t violate our free-will. The Bible tells us that God desires that

Fredonia Senior Writes, Illustrates New Children’s Book Contributed Article Fredonia
Brittany Georgalas won’t receive her degree in Animation and Media Management until May, but she’s already got a “jump start” on her career with the publication of “Feleap the Frog and the Great Big Circus Adventure,” a children’s book that she wrote and illustrated. An exhibit devoted to Ms. Georgalas’ first book and actual props seen on its pages will be on display in the main lobby of Reed Library through Saturday, March 14. “Feleap the Frog” tells the story of, well, a young frog who loves the circus and dreams of performing under the Big Top. His friends in Pollywog Pond chuckle at the notion, but Feleap – inspired by his mother’s valuable words of encouragement – commits himself to practice and ultimately achieves his circus goal. “Don’t ever give up. Try your hardest and always believe in yourself, because no dream is ever too big, and no one is ever too small,” Feleap tells young readers. The idea for the story can be traced to a summer trip that Georgalas took to North Carolina. “I enjoyed watching the frogs at the pond near where I was staying, and there was specifically one frog that would let me hold him. They were really interesting creatures,” she recalls. Back at Fredonia in the fall term, Georgalas needed a class project for Advanced Animation and Illustration, taught by Associate Professor
Jill Johnston. Brittany chose a frog to be the main character of a story that would be set around a pond, and then picked a circus as an event that children already knew. She likes to incorporate things that she enjoys into her projects, and balloon art is one of her new passions. All characters in the book are fashioned out of balloons twisted into different shapes. Digital photographs of each character were taken and manipulated in Photoshop according to the activity to be portrayed. All photographs had to be taken in one day, due to the short “lifespan” of a balloon animal. Georgalas published the book independently through Createspace and has it listed for sale through Amazon.com. Through Kickstarter.com, Georgalas raised over $1,000 to help purchase over 200 copies that will be donated to local schools and libraries. She’s also working with Fredonia’s College of Education to see if arrangements can be made for her to visit some schools and read the book aloud to children. The book is also available at the University Commons bookstore, and copies can be borrowed at Reed Library. “Over spring break I have my first scheduled reading at my old preschool, and a presentation about becoming a published author at my old high school,” Brittany added. Georgalas, the daughter of Christopher and Johanne Georgalas and a graduate of Sanford H. Calhoun High School in Merrick, N.Y., dedicated the book to everyone who has encouraged her to use her creativity

to help inspire others. “For now I really want to just spread the word about this book and try to make an impact on as many children as possible,” Georgalas said. “I have been asked a lot about a sequel. My little cousin, Daniel, really wants the next book to be titled, ‘Feleap

the Frog and The Great Big Hockey Showdown.’ “Who knows? Maybe Pollywog Pond will just happen to freeze over next winter!”

The Art of Performing
Spend the Summer Making Music in New Ways Contributed Article Fredonia School of Music Classical musicians are invited to the Fredonia campus for a week-long, intensive workshop July 5-11 with oboist extraordinaire Colin Maier, designed to explore the Art of Performing. Participants in this highly unique workshop will hone their unique stage presence, explore entrepreneurship models in music, engage in chamber music, individual practice, busking trips to Buffalo and more! Registration deadline is April 1; details online at www.fredonia.edu/music/art_of_performing.asp. Additional academy faculty include Dr. Sarah Hamilton, Fredonia oboe professor, and Dr. James Ivey, Fredonia Theatre and Dance professor. “I am so excited to be helping put together this unique academy which brings together music and theatre professionals to explore the essence of performance,” commented Dr. Hamilton. “This week is about discovering and encouraging one’s own personality to engage more fully with your audience as a performer, something classical musicians traditionally have not spent a lot of time talking about.” The Art of Performing Academy will incorporate improvisation, spontaneous group arranging, busking and theatre workshops to inspire participants to cultivate a sense of adventure in their art. “This is a unique opportunity for classical musicians to expand traditional musical boundaries and develop a unique performance style. It will be an inspiring week of humor, fun, and serious work. Colin is uniquely gifted in the art of performing, and is excited to share what he knows, encouraging others to move beyond the standard expectations of what it means to be a classical performer.” The workshop is open to all musicians, college age through professional, including current music teachers. Exceptional high school students may apply and be accepted on a space available basis. There will be opportunities to perform solo and/or chamber music, and participants are expected to arrive with at least one solo piece memorized. Musi-
Oboist extraordinaire, Colin Maier, brings his uniquely engaging performance style to Fredonia for a week-long summer workshop for classical performers and teachers. Register online by April 1.

About Colin Maier Born and raised in Calgary, Colin Maier graduated from the University of Calgary in 1997 with a degree in oboe performance studying with David Sussman. Colin is currently the oboist for the internationally renowned and critically acclaimed ensemble “Quartetto Gelato” playing 50-70 international concerts a year. During that time he has been heard on national radio broadcasts, seen on the BRAVO network and received the 2010 INDIE award for best classical ensemble. He has also played with orchestras such as the Calgary Philharmonic and the National Ballet Orchestra. As well as being a guest lecturer/ recitalist at universities across North America, Colin is currently the oboe professor at Brock University in St. Catharines, Ontario. In addition to oboe, Colin also plays clarinet, english horn, violin, 5-string banjo, acoustic/ electric bass, piano, saxophone, flute, guitar
and musical saw. While unable to play them all at the same time, he has recorded several pieces with layering and multi-tracking all the instruments to perform every sound on the song. A project called “The Colin Maier Orchestra.” He recently released his second solo CD “The Fabulist – Oboe and Other Things,” an eclectic and original journey of classical, jazz, celtic rock, gospel and film music. In addition to being a musician, Colin has also worked for over 20 years as a dancer, actor, stuntman, singer, choreographer, acrobat and martial-artist. Colin had the honor of playing the devil fiddler in the flying blue canoe for the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic Opening Ceremonies.” Colin had also been seen in; “Lord of the Rings” (Mirvish), Fire (CanStage), “Forbidden Phoenix” (LKTYP), “KA” (Cirque du Soleil), “Amadeus” (Alberta Theatre Projects), “That Dance Show” (Saltance Productions), “Cats” (Neptune Theatre), Joseph’s Dreamcoat (StageWest/Drayton), “A Chorus Line” (StageWest), Sarah Brightman’s World Tour, and TV’s “Honey I Shrunk the Kids!”. This combination of music and theatre is quite unique and he continues to find new, exciting and ground breaking ways to combine his two passions.
Plus to the Kennedy Center’s American College Theatre Festival in Washington, D.C. In 1981 James moved to the Dallas/Ft. Worth area and began to work in theatre and commercial work. He worked as a model for Radio Shack in the day and acted for such theatres as Theatre Three and The Dallas Repertory Theatre in A Little Night Music, The Showoff and The Man Who Came to Dinner. It was in Dallas where his directing career began as he directed Ira Levin’s thriller Veronica’s Room in the back of a soda shop for the Peppermint Players. James went to Texas Tech University in 1988 to begin his doctoral studies in performance theory and interdisciplinary studies in the arts. While there he played John Merrick in The Elephant Man, Queen Elizabeth in The Cotswold Boy, Pawnee Bill in Annie Get Your Gun, Betty in Cloud Nine, and Teen Angel in Grease. He continued his directing career with the creation of two original works In and Out of the Chakras We Go and Back into the Chakras We Go. Dr. Ivey moved to Abilene, Texas upon completion of his Ph.D. where he became head of the department of theatre at HardinSimmons University in the fall of 1991. During his nine-year stay at HSU he directed many plays including Tartuffe, Li’l Abner, Guys and Dolls, The Seagull, The Dining Room, J.B., The Triumph of Love, and Exit the
King. Dr. Ivey was also active in the Abilene community at the restored Paramount Theatre performing in many productions there as well as serving on their board of directors as president.

gine. While that bumps base pricing up to $28,500 (compared to $23,500 for a base-level Fusion S), we think drivers who live in cold climes will find the sedan's AWD system worth it, especially since the Fusion SE AWD comes standard with a long list of equipment. That list includes alloy wheels, dual power front seats, a backup camera, keyless entry and Ford's SYNC voice control system. Jaguar XF For years, Jaguar only offered rearwheel-drive cars, which limited the brand's appeal to luxury-car shoppers in northern cities, but that's recently changed with the introduction of an AWD system on several Jaguar models, including the midsize XF luxury sedan. Although it's only offered with the sedan's 340-hp supercharged V6 and adds $2,700 to the rear-drive model's $51,000 base price with shipping, we suspect that die-hard Jaguar fans will love the new AWD system. If the XF isn't for you, don't worry: Jaguar also offers AWD on the fullsize XJ luxury sedan. Porsche 911 Although you wouldn't normally think of a sports car like the Porsche 911 as a year-round vehicle, Porsche
has been offering AWD in the 911 for several years. The 911's AWD provides better traction in dry weather too, which makes the car a little faster through corners and quicker off the line. Regardless of why you want an AWD sports car (for weather reasons or not), it's tough to beat the Porsche 911. The only problem? Prices are steep, with base figures starting at around $92,000 with shipping for even a base-level 911 Carrera 4. Toyota Sienna If you want a minivan with all-wheel drive, you only have one option: the Toyota Sienna. Rivals such as the Dodge Grand Caravan and Honda Odyssey come with front-wheel drive only, and while that's acceptable in challenging weather, you'll want AWD for the really rough stuff. AWD is available on the Sienna LE, XLE and Limited for around $2,000 over the base price, meaning that AWD-equipped Sienna models start at around $34,900 with shipping. If you're in need of a family hauler to get you through challenging weather, the Sienna is worth a spot on your shopping list.

FREDONIA BOYS, GIRLS BOTH LOSE IN SECTION VI CLASS B-2 FINALS By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
It was a somber few days in Fredonia and Chautauqua County as both the Hillbillies and Lady Hillbillies basketball teams fell in their respective Section 6 Class B-2 finals games at Buffalo State College. The No. 4 Lady Hillbillies came into their game against the No. 2 Cleveland Hill Lady Golden Eagles with an impressive 16-6 record for the season. Fredonia really didn’t have much trouble reaching the finals game, but finally met its match in Cleveland Hill. A smothering defense and balanced offense led the Lady Golden Eagles to a convincing 54-35 win over Fredonia. It was Cleveland Hill’s first girls basketball Sectional title. Despite the lopsided final score, it was actually Fredonia that was able to get out of the gates quickly, building a 8-3 lead midway through the first quarter. But by the time the second quarter began, that five-point lead had turned into a one-point deficit, 13-12. The game was still very close at halftime, with Cleveland Hill sitting on a 25-20 lead. That was as close as Fredonia would get as Cleveland Hill was able to pull away in the second half as two of Fredonia’s starters — Hannah Cybart and Kirsta Wheelock — were relegated to the bench due to foul trouble. Junior Madison Abram led Fredonia with 10 points and eight rebounds while senior Morgan Genovese was very good with nine points, eight assists and five rebounds. Cleveland Hill’s Jala Gilliam netted a game-high 13 points to lead the Lady Golden Eagles to the Section 6 Class B crossover championship game. They’ll take on B-1 champion East Aurora on Tuesday night at Buffalo State College. Over on the boys’ side of the action, the Hillbillies ran into a familiar foe in Buffalo East and it was once again the No. 5 Panthers that came out on top. Two years ago, Buffalo East ended Fredonia’s season in the Class B-2 final at Buffalo State College. This year, Buffalo East ended Fredonia’s season in the Class B-2 final at Buffalo State College.

involved in a close back-and-forth nail biter of a game. The Panthers held on for a 54-51 win after Fredonia’s Patrick Moore was just off the mark on what would have been a game-tying three-pointer at the buzzer. Missed free throws really hurt Fredonia down the stretch as the team landed just 1-of-4 from the line in the fourth quarter. In fact, not getting to the line much at all hurt the Hillbillies’ chances of winning as the team managed just six free throw attempts all game and none in the first half. CONTINUED ON PG 29

COMMENTARY, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 26 for that next face of the league, I looked at each team in the American League at discussed which player on each roster would be the face of the franchise. Predictably, this week I’ll be looking at each team in the National League. There were some very difficult choices in the A.L., so here’s hoping that it’s a little easier for the Senior Circuit. Without further ado… NATIONAL LEAGUE EAST Atlanta Braves: Craig Kimbrel. The Braves had something of a fire sale this past offseason. Gone are Jason Heyward and Justin Upton. Long gone is Dan Uggla (thank goodness). These were players that had essentially been the franchise for the past few seasons or longer. So this really came down to Kimbrel or first baseman Freddie Freeman. Freeman is a great player, but Kimbrel is a dynamic player in addition to being very recognizable on and off the mound. That praying mantis thing he does with his arm out when he’s looking in for the sign is very unique. Plus he’s on that commercial for Volunteers Of America, so there’s that Miami Marlins: Giancarlo Stanton. There might not be a team in the MLB that has the 1-2 punch of star power that Miami has in Stanton and staff ace Jose Fernandez. Both are young, stud players that will assuredly have years and years of success in the league. But for the purposes of this article, I have to go with the guy that is going to start the season on the field, even if he’ll be wearing a facemask that partly covers that face of the franchise. Stanton hits towering home runs, plays
sorry but I really like Maddon and no one was jumping out to me from the Cubs’ roster. Starlin Castro is one of the longest tenured Cubs despite being just 24 years old, but I don’t think even Cubs fans like the guy. Anthony Rizzo is probably the team’s best player, but face of the franchise? It’s hard to say that it’s Rizzo. Jon Lester was brought in to be the team’s ace, but he hasn’t even taken the mound in a meaningful game yet. Travis Wood, Jason Hammel, Jake Arrieta, Miguel Montero and others are good players, but hardly faces of the franchise. Therefore, it’s gotta be the thick-rimmed-glasses-wearing Maddon. Cincinnati Reds: Joey The face of the Miami Marlins is the power-hitting former Jamestown Jammer Giancarlo Votto. I know, I know.

COMMENTARY, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 27 haiku or something to show my irritation. It used to be just because Braun was an awesome player who dealt Pittsburgh losses almost single handedly. Now it’s because he’s a cheater and a liar. I can forgive players that used PEDs. In fact, for guys that played in the Steroid Era, I barely care at all. But for a guy like Braun that did it well after that era and then lied about it and got a guy fired, there’s no excuse. He’s a jerk. So enjoy the rotten face of your franchise, Brewers fans. There’s always Carlos Gomez, whom I also can’t stand. Yeesh. Pittsburgh Pirates: Andrew McCutchen. There’s a very real chance that Cutch is actually the new face of Major League Baseball. Over the past three seasons he’s led Pittsburgh to the playoffs for the first time in 20 years, he’s made the Pirates relevant again, he’s won an MVP and finished in third in the voting twice. Oh, and he also proposed to his girlfriend on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. And yes, the fact that he’s a charismatic black athlete in a sport that has seen a sharp decline in black players is definitely a plus. How can you not love this guy? The dreadlocks. The smile. The hustle. The skill. The highlight reel catches. It’s all there. He’s as marketable as they come in a sport that lacks marketable players. Simply put, Cutch is the man. St. Louis Cardinals: Yadier Molina. For a team that is always at least in the playoffs, if not playing in the World Series, the Cardinals have a surprising lack of star power. Adam Wainwright would have been a solid pick here at he’s been among the best pitchers in baseball for a long time now. He’s appeared
Ladies and gentlemen, the eerily-calm, bearded face of the San Francisco — Madison Bumgarner. (AP Photo/Gene J. Puskar)
in so many playoff and All-Star games that every baseball fan knows his face by now. But the same can be said of Molina. Molina gets the nod here because star catchers are just so blasted rare in baseball. He’s been banged up lately, but there’s no doubt that Molina is as valuable to the Cardinals as any single player in the game is to their respective team. On a side note, this roster isn’t terribly good on paper. Could this be the year that someone overtakes the Cardinals in the Central? NATIONAL LEAGUE WEST Arizona Diamondbacks: Paul Goldschmidt. Somehow, Goldschmidt still isn’t a household name among casual baseball fans, but he should be. The guy is amazing. He was a little banged up last year and plays on a team with absolutely no help, but the D’Backs’ first baseman is one of the best pure hitters in the league. He hits for average and power. He walks. He hits the ball all over the field. At age 27,
he’s probably entering his prime. He’s due for a massive contract extension and hopefully Arizona resigns him. It’s always nice when homegrown stars stay put for their primes. He might not be the face of the league, but he’s the no-doubt face of the franchise. Colorado Rockies: 60Day Disabled List, I mean, Troy Tulowitzki. Has there been a more “what if?” case since Ken Griffey, Jr. than Tulo? The guy has all the skills to just win MVP every single year. He plays the game’s most demanding position (sans catcher, probably). He absolutely crushes the ball all over the field. He has a rocket arm. He plays in the best hitting ballpark of all time. But he just can’t stay healthy. He’s going to be traded eventually because Colorado can never compete, but whichever team gives up the king’s ransom for Tulo is going to end up snake bitten. He’ll hit .400 and be leading the league in home runs, RBI, runs, OBP, etc. for the first two months of the
season and then play maybe eight more games the rest of the way. It’s really a shame because I think the guy is awesome. Either way, he’s the face of the franchise. Los Angeles Dodgers: Clayton Kershaw. Silly me. I actually thought a star-studded team like the Dodgers was going to make picking a franchise player difficult. Then I actually looked at that roster at saw the name of the best pitcher since Pedro Martinez. The team’s other big-name players — Carl Crawford, Adrian Gonzalez, Jimmy Rollins, Zack Greinke — hardly even seem like Dodgers after spending most of their careers elsewhere. Yasiel Puig has a slight argument that would be better for another team, but Kershaw is easily the choice here. I could run through his credentials for days. But when a guy wins the Cy Young and the MVP (and doesn’t have Miguel Cabrera on his team, I suppose), he’s going to be the face of the franchise. San Diego Padres: To
Be Determined. Fear not Padres fans (of which I’m sure there are plenty in Western New York, right?), you might not have a face of the franchise right now, but I’m sure by season’s end either Matt Kemp, James Shields, Wil Myers, Justin Upton, Derek Norris, Will Middlebrooks or some other acquisition will set themselves apart from the others. If I had to guess, it would be Shields. He’s moving from the American League to the National League, where he’ll get to pitch against pitchers instead of DHs. He’s playing in a relatively offense-barren division (once Tulo and Carlos Gonzales get hurt, of course). He could easily be an All Star in his first year with the Padres. Of course, Tyson Ross was outstanding last season, so maybe it’ll be someone besides a newly acquired player that becomes the face of the franchise. San Francisco Giants: Madison Bumgarner. Was I the only one who was borderline freaked out by how calm MadBum was during the playoffs last year. “Oh, the World Series is on the line? I was thinking about how cool beards are. Oh, I just pitched one of the most impressive postseasons ever? Neat.” Seriously, though, Bumgarner really took that step from really good to legitimate ace over the past year or so. It came at the perfect time as Tim Lincecum regressed from ace to middle reliever. Don’t get me wrong, the Giants don’t win three of the last five World Series without The Freak. No doubt. The guy is a legend. But MadBum has replaced him in San Francisco. Hunter Pence is beloved in San Fran and Buster Posey is an MVP, but it’s gotta be the big lefty.

SUNY Canton in Central Florida. The Blue Devils will play 13 games in 11 days including their first SUNYAC series against rival Plattsburgh. The veteran group has ten seniors, five of them will be in the Opening Day lineup. The group also has five senior pitchers. Offensively, first baseman Ricky Mendiola (.340, 8 2B) will bat fourth, senior Vinnie Sherman (transfer from Georgetown) fifth, and fourth-year seniors Kenny Johnston, Erik Krohl and Ryan Carmody will fill out the six-seven-eight spots. The top of the order will be manned by junior transfer Kyle Sherman (All-Region at Erie Community College), sophomore Ciro Frontale (.375 in final 19 games) and sophomore Mike Prentice (.382). A question mark heading into the season is catcher. Anthony Schiro will miss out on his senior year due to injury. Junior Dan Cecilia (.321 in 2014) will be inactive for the spring trip due to illness. Prentice will figure in as the starting catcher to open the season -- he caught for a state championship team a couple years back. Two freshmen very familiar with the program — Mike Carmody (brother of captain Ryan) and Patrick Sheehan (brother Brian, a '13 grad, was an All SUNYAC catcher) -will compete for the starting spot. Derek Fie will throw his hat and lefty bat into the mix. On the mound, Zach Jordon returns after a year off. He will team up with fourth-year seniors Steve Sturm and Tommy Morris, both of whom were in the starting rotation last year. Additions of transfers Joe DiLeo (senior, Central Methodist Univ.), Jake Harford (6'5'', live fastball, Jamestown CC), Bobby Graczyk (ECC) and Matt Wilhelm (ECC) add experienced arms. Fourth-year seniors Ben Senior and Evan Carmello hope to step up their roles in their final go 'round. Junior Carl Wolf is looking for a breakout year. Junior Joe Korszun showed flashes last year as did Jason Weyman (1.23 ERA). Nine freshmen round out the roster.

Morrison will be first up when she competes in the 800-meter preliminaries, set for 4:05 p.m. Friday Divided into two heats (9 in one, 8 in the other), the prelims will be used to qualify eight women for the final – set for 3:45 p.m. Saturday. The top two runners in each heat plus the women with the next four fastest times will advance. Morrison is ranked No. 13 in the field based on her school-record qualifying time of 2:14.48 last Saturday at the Ohio Northern Polarbear Last Chance Qualifier. She will be appearing in a national meet for the first time. She is an academic junior yet a sophomore in terms of indoor track & field eligibility. She is the reigning SUNYAC women's 800-meter champ. No stranger to the national stage, Hess will compete in the 5,000 meters against 14 other men from across the country at 4:45 p.m. Saturday – the last individual race of the two-day national meet. He is ranked No. 11 in the event. Twice a competitor in the NCAA D-III cross country championship meet, Hess made it into indoor nationals for the first time with a schoolrecord 8:21.29 last Saturday at Ohio Northern. He shattered his own school record in the process, an improvement of eight seconds from his SUNYAC-winning time the previous weekend.
BASKETBALL RECAP, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 26
While anything can happen in the playoffs, it was still a somewhat shocking loss after Fredonia dismantled Buffalo East less than a month ago on Feb. 18. Perhaps the Panthers held back in that 74-47 thrashing, not wanting to give too much of y their game plan away. If that was the case, it was a brilliant move and gave East the last laugh. Percy Bryant was the main difference maker
in the game for East, netting a game-high 24 points— including nine during a key 16-6 Panthers run in the second quarter. John Piper paced Fredonia with 23 points, including seven three-pointers. Cam Voss put up a double-double with 18 points and 13 boards while also chipping in two assists and two steals.
Buffalo East did a great job on Fredonia’s leading scorer coming into the game. Patrick Moore came in averaging over 15 points per game but was held to just a single point and six rebounds. As for the Panthers, they earned the right to take on Albion, the Class B-1 champion, in the overall B final on Tuesday night at Buffalo State College.

He had three years left on his previous contract, and had already been seeking the restructure the deal with Philadelphia. The NFL's 2013 rushing leader is regarded as the new centerpiece of a run-oriented offense being installed by new coach Rex Ryan and coordinator Greg Roman. The 26-year-old McCoy is an every-down and multidimensional player, who poses a threat in both the running and passing game. His best season came in 2013, when he had 1,607 yards rushing and nine touchdowns, and added 539 yards receiving and a TD. Overall, he has 6,792 yards rushing and 44 touchdowns, and 2,282 yards receiving and 10 TDs. McCoy will be part of an established group of Bills running backs, rounded out by Fred Jackson, Anthony Dixon and former Eagles teammate Bryce Brown. C.J.

The game is played like the old telephone game you played as a kid. I whisper something in your ear, you whisper it in another person’s ear, they pass it on, etc., etc., etc. The end result is never what you started with. Each player gets a dry-erase flipbook and a card with six secret words or phrases (numbered 1-6) on them. One player rolls a single die and then each player looks at their card for the corresponding clue. The secret word/phrase is written in the front of the book and then depending on the number of players, each player either flips to page 1 of the book and tries to draw that word/phrase or passes the book to the player on their left. If there’s no drawing yet, the player who just
received the book will look at the clue and try to draw it. If there’s already a drawing, the player will try to guess what that original word/phrase was based on the drawing. Every player starts with a book and a clue, so when you pass yours to the left, you’ll be receiving one from your right. There’s no downtime in this game. This continues back and forth between drawing and guessing until the book is back where it started. Then each player can take turns showing the rest of the table what the clue started as and what the final word is in the back of the book. Please note that there are rules for keeping score, but I haven’t even read them. I have no desire to make this
into an actual game. My family and friends all enjoy it as just an activity. We laugh our butts off while we’re flipping through those books. We don’t need the added pressure of trying to earn points. FINAL THOUGHTS Let me just share some stories from past games. One of our first games ever will always be remembered. The word started as “Fast food.” You’re not allowed to use letters or numbers, but the attempted McDonald’s arches were interpreted as a “cat jumping out of window.” The drawing of the cat jumping out of the window was interpreted as a turtle talking to someone through the window. What kind of turtle would do that? “Franklin” of course. So when I got the book, all it said was Franklin.
I drew a turtle with a book and big glasses. So that, folks is how “fast food” becomes “smart turtle.” Or how about the picture above? You can see that “wheelchair” became “home body” which became a being with an actual house for a torso. Clearly, House Man, everyone’s favorite super hero. This one was so awesome it prompted me to start taking pictures of our greatest entries. There’s even times when things like “guitar pick” are going smoothly around the table, but then someone writes just “pick.” That got interpreted as a verb and I drew a grape farmer picking grapes. And that’s how “guitar pick” becomes “farmer.” TO OWN OR NOT TO OWN This game positively destroys games like Pictionary. Go to the back of your closet, grab your copy of Pictionary and throw it in the trash. Don’t even take it to the Salvation Army. No one should ever own that game again. Then go online (or to Target, I believe) and get a copy of this game as soon as possible. It’s relatively inexpensive at around $20. There’s no excuse for not owning this game. I’m playing tonight, in fact. I can’t wait.

Hughes Re-Signs With Bills Because Of ‘Unfinished Business’ By John Wawrow AP Sports Writer
Defensive end Jerry Hughes had no intention of leaving the Bills just when things are beginning to look up in Buffalo. The chance to play under new coach Rex Ryan, a defensive specialist, and alongside three Pro Bowl linemen were among the key reasons Hughes re-signed with the Bills on Monday. He signed a five-year contract with a potential worth of more than $45 million a day before having the opportunity to test his value on the NFL's free-agent market. A person familiar with negotiations provided the player's contract details and spoke on the condition of anonymity because the team did not release those figures. ''We have a lot of unfinished business,'' Hughes said. ''And I'm someone who doesn't like to leave anything undone. I wanted to come back with these guys so we could take care of that and get that accomplished.'' He is referring to the unfinished business of helping the Bills make the playoffs, something that suddenly doesn't seem far-fetched after a 9-7 finish last season. It was Buffalo's best record in a
decade, though the team still missed the playoffs to extend the NFL's longest active postseason drought to 15 years. With Hughes under contract, the Bills talent-laden defensive front remains intact, rounded out by tackles Marcell Dareus, Kyle Williams and right end Mario Williams. The line has been the Bills' strength, and contributed to the team topping 50 sacks in each of the past two seasons - including a leagueleading 54 last year. Hughes spent the past two seasons playing on the left side, where he has blossomed into a pass-rushing threat since the Bills acquired him in a trade with Indianapolis. The 2010 first-round draft pick has 10 sacks in each of his past two seasons after combining for just five in his first three years in Indianapolis. And now Hughes gets the chance to play under Ryan, the former New York Jets coach who took over after Doug Marrone opted out of his contract on Dec. 31. ''You know what he's bringing to the organization. You know he knows how to get to the playoffs,'' Hughes said. ''So you want to be part of something special.'' Hughes is expected to shift to an outside linebacker spot on
contract Mario Williams signed in 2012. And the Bills need to free up room to resign Dareus, whose contract expires after this season. Whaley isn't concerned by a potential imbalance, because the team doesn't have much salary committed at quarterback.

Sabres Fall To Leafs, Bozak In Shootout
Contributed Article Associated Press
TORONTO (AP) — Nearing the end of a tough season, the Toronto Maple Leafs are glad to get wins any way they can. Tyler Bozak tied the score late in regulation and then had the only goal in the shootout to lift the Toronto Maple Leafs to a 4-3 victory over the Buffalo Sabres on Wednesday night. ''Obviously it's nice, hard to come by right now,'' Bozak said of the win. ''It was nice to get the two points.'' Toronto (27-35-6) moved past Carolina for 26th place overall with 14 games remaining. That lowered their chance of getting the No. 1 pick in the NHL entry draft to 8.5 percent. ''You want them to fi nd ways to win games,'' Toronto interim coach Peter Horachek said. ''That's the positive you can take out of it.'' Jonathan Bernier had 30 saves through overtime and then stopped all three shots he faced in the tiebreaker. Brandon Kozun and Leo Komarov also scored in regulation for Toronto. Rookie defenseman Andrew MacWilliam had an assist for his fi rst point in his NHL debut. Johan Larsson, Tyler Ennis and Matt Moulson scored for the Sabres. Anders Lindback fi nished with 31 saves, including one highlight-reel glove stop in overtime on Komarov. Despite picking up a point, injury and trade-ravaged Buffalo still has the lowest total in the league and a 20 percent chance of getting the top

pick - expected to be Connor McDavid. ''We're limited on what we can do out there and the guys who played hard, played hard and that's all we can ask for,'' Sabres coach Ted Nolan said. ''I'm proud of the way the group worked.'' The Leafs turned up the pressure in the third period and the Sabres took three ill-advised penalties. ''Five penalties, it's tough to take against a team with offensive skill like that,'' Moulson said. ''They're going to eventually capitalize.'' Bozak's power-play goal with 3:25 remaining tied the score as he tipped in a shot by Phil Kessel. Moulson had put the Sabres ahead with 8:10 to go in the second period. Dion Phaneuf gave the puck away to Moulson on Larsson's goal at 6:52 of the fi rst that opened the scoring. Kozun and Komarov scored 21 seconds apart, the fastest consecutive goals of the season, to give the Leafs the lead with 5 1/2 minutes remaining in the period. Joffrey Lupul lost his handle on the puck to Moulson, and Ennis was wide open in front to tie it at 2-2 with just under 4 minutes left in the fi rst. Lupul was benched for a stretch of the third period after some turnovers and a missed assignment and played just 13:09. ''There was two, three, four things that I didn't think was up to his standards,'' Horachek said. ''I didn't think that he was on top of his game.'' NOTES: Nazem Kadri was again a healthy scratch for the Leafs, who decided to extend the center's punishment to three games for a pattern of off-ice problems. Kadri missed a team meeting Sunday, and president Brendan Shanahan said Wednesday morning that the 24-year-old ''needs to start making better decisions.'' ...

back to his rookie season. He was suspended in 2012 by NASCAR for threatening a reporter, and parked for the final two races of the 2005 season by Roush-Fenway Racing after he was pulled over by police in Arizona. Haas, wanting a driver who could take his machine tool manufacturing company to victory lane, offered Busch a ride in a new fourth car at SHR when Busch found himself driving for lowbudget teams. Busch was fired at the end of 2011 by Roger Penske for a series of on- and off-track incidents, and he spent two seasons driving for low-budget teams before Haas extended the olive branch. Busch has 25 career wins, but only one since 2011. It came last year, his first season with SHR, and qualified him for the Chase. Driscoll alleged the assault occurred two days before the third Chase race, when Busch was in danger of being eliminated from the field. He was indeed knocked out of the Chase that weekend.
