GROVE CITY, PA — Many of us have a few boxes stored in the attic or basement that contain some old family keepskes. Over time, these boxes can be forgotten or just get lost in the mix. When they’re found again, it’s often like hitting an historic jackpot. For Grove City College archivist Hilary Walczak, the jackpot became a gold mine when she happened upon a discovery that had been forgotten for over half a century. Walczak (nee Lewis), a 2005 graduate of Dunkirk High School, went to Grove City College and graduated from there in 2009. Furthering herself afterward with a master’s degree in Public History and a concentration in Archives, she’s now living

our rare book room,” said Walczak. “We have a lot of different collections in there, but no one has really touched them for 60 years.”
Her duties led her to an area of locked cabinets, and after getting a box of assorted keys, she unearthed a CONTINUED ON PAGE 2

campus and community, and soon an exhibit had been scheduled for the posters to go on display. In total, the 175 pieces are valued at around $40,000. “We had 100 people come to the opening of the exhibit, and had 100 visitors the first day,” she said. As local and regional news agencies have picked up on the story, Walczak expects the week-long exhibit to garner a lot of attention. “We’ve been hearing people come in who collect or know about the posters from that time,” said Walczak. “We have some of the iconic ones but we also found a lot of rare ones. Some have said ‘I’ve never seen this one before,’ and that’s really great to know.” The find lines up with some recent research Walczak has been doing on the role of Grove City College in World War II. The private Christian college in northwestern Pennsylvania offered three training programs to young men at the time.
Walczak describes this poster as "symbolic, because it’s saying ‘buy war bonds – so the war doesn’t come to America." Photo courtesy of Grove City College.
“We had the Navy and Marine engineering programs, an Army Air Corps preflight training program, and a secret radar program,” said Walczak. During the Second World War, radar was still being kept a secret. Grove City College was one of only six colleges in the nation to take part in the training program, then referred to as ‘radio’ in order to keep it classified. “We had around 4,000 individuals come during the war for training, which played a big part in saving the college because most of the other men had gone off to the war,” she said. As for the propaganda posters, they point to a time of increased ferver and national pride, but also a time of intense
emotion. Walczak’s favorite featured three young children, about to be shadowed by the notable Nazi swastika. “It’s really symbolic,” said Walczak, “because it’s saying ‘buy war bonds – so the war doesn’t come to America.” The exhibit is on display at Grove City College for just a few more days, but plans are being discussed for a potential traveling exhibit or other options in the future.

Chautauqua Leadership Network Kicks Off Class Of 2015 With Leadership Retreat Contributed Article CLN
Twenty-four individuals representing businesses and organizations from throughout the county gathered in a classroom in Bellinger Hall, Chautauqua Institution recently to begin a two-and-a-half day retreat designed to recognize and further develop each person’s leadership skills and build new relationships with other community leaders. Class members, most of whom have been nominated by their employer to participate in the nine-month program, arrive at the retreat mostly unknown to each other, with little information about the retreat’s activities. Through a series of ice breakers and interviews, members learn more about each other and begin a discussion of different leadership styles and how and when those styles can be most effective. Led by facilitator Larry Robinson of Partners & Robinson, with the assistance of several Chautauqua Leadership Network alumni, the retreat follows a rigorous schedule of self-assessment, conversation and group presentations intertwined with experiential activities all developed to

strawberry shortcake trifle By Katy Wise Contributing Writer
In case you haven’t noticed, we are big fans of the ‘trifle’ around here. This is possibly the fifth trifle recipe that I will be sharing with you. Why? Because trifles are so incredibly easy. Everything about them is easy, especially if you have a stand mixer. Not to mention all the different possibilities out there. For almost any regular cake recipe, pastry or dessert, there’s a trifle for that. So with Easter steadily approaching, (yay!) it’s time to start rounding up some recipes that are suitable for Spring. Recently, I tried out this recipe for one of my husband’s coworkers who was having a birthday. We picked this recipe because generally speaking, the odds are pretty good that people like strawberry shortcake. I’m sure there are some exceptions to this, as there are with any kind of food, but I have to say that I feel very sad for the people who do not enjoy this flavor combination. Now before I share the recipe, here are some things to bear in mind. First of all, as previously mentioned, trifles are versatile. Don’t get hung up on the idea of a trifle with yellow cake, just because that’s what I used. No, yellow cake isn’t all that exciting, but when it’s paired with strawberries, pudding and whipped cream…everything changes.
But you could also use angel food cake, pound cake, white cake, etc. And if you are very pressed for time, you can always cut corners and use a store bought cake. Just another way the trifle saves the day! Ingredients: 1 Yellow cake 1 recipe whipped cream 2 large boxes vanilla pudding 1 can strawberry pie filling, or 3-4 cups chopped strawberries First step, make your cake! You will need at least half of a 9x13 cake in order to fill a trifle bowl. The easiest way I’ve found to do this is to make the cake a day before I will be preparing the trifle. Next step, make pudding and transfer to another container. If you are using the family sized boxes of pudding, you will only need 2 cups of milk per box as opposed to the 3 that the directions on the box call for. This will make your pudding a little thicker, similar to custard. As always, feel free to follow the package directions if you would prefer. This just means that your pudding will soak into the cake a little more, and you may have some extra pudding on your hands. Nothing wrong with that! Prepare your whipped cream and get ready to layer your trifle. Before you start, you may want to think about how much you have of each ingredient. I usually layer pudding
on the bottom, then cake, whipped cream, strawberries, pudding, cake, whipped cream, and some more strawberries on them top. Once again, be as creative as you want to be. I just suggest thinking ahead so you don’t use up all your strawberries on the bottom.
Refrigerate until serving, will yield between 10-12 generous servings, and even more if this isn’t your only dessert! As always, thanks for reading, and happy trifling!

Senator Catharine Young Announces 2015 Earth Day Poster Contest CONTEST AIMS TO PROMOTE ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS AROUND THE 45TH ANNIVERSARY OF EARTH DAY Contributed Article Office of Senator Catharine Young
Senator Catharine Young (R,C,I-Olean) is encouraging local students to take part in the New York State Senate’s 2015 Earth Day Poster Contest, a statewide competition to encourage awareness of environmental issues. To celebrate and honor Earth Day, which occurs on Wednesday, April 22, Senator Young and the New York State Senate are sponsoring a poster contest for children in grades K – 6. The theme for this year’s Earth Day celebration is “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.” The winning poster will be displayed on the Senator’s website and all participants will receive a certificate of appreciation. Schools wishing to take part in this year’s event must submit entries by April 6, via the link on Senator Young’s website, young.nysenate.gov. “Our communities are blessed with some of the state’s most beautiful natural environments,” said Senator Young. “Preservation of these resources, such as our lakes, rivers, forest and state parks for future generations would not be possible without
events like Earth Day raising public awareness. ‘Reduce, Reuse, Recycle’ is not just a slogan for one day, it is a way of life we should all strive for every day.” “Each year my office receives entries that display tremendous originality and vision, as well as an obvious understanding of the important environmental impact we have on our communities and our state. I look forward to seeing the students’ visions and encourage them to continue to study and learn more about the challenges facing our environment,” said Senator Young. Senator Young and her colleagues in the Senate are using this opportunity to celebrate the great strides New York has made in helping to improve the environment. From expanding the bottle bill to promoting green energy, New York is helping to make a difference. Through their artwork, students are encouraged to be creative and convey a real commitment they are making to improve the environment. Since the first Earth Day was celebrated 45 years ago, over 20 million Americans have participated, helping to improve the quality of the air
we breathe and the water we drink. In addition, landmark legislation has been passed to help support this effort, including the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, and the Endangered Species Act.

WISDOM PRINCIPLE - CORRECTION
Rev. Timothy Stahlman Family Church Jamestown fcjamestown.org
Wisdom is the ability to live life skillfully with the insight to know what course to take. God makes this available to us by giving us wisdom principles to live by.
If we choose not to live by them then we ignore God's outstretched helping hand. Therefore it is not God's fault if we go without this wisdom. God says in Proverbs 1:23, "Turn you at my reproof; behold I will pour out my Spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you." The word reproof means "to be corrected by the words of another." Notice the Bible gives us the responsibility to turn when God speaks to us through His Word. To turn means to adjust course and go a different way in light of what the Word has said. It is not the right things that we are doing that are hurting our lives; it is the wrong things. The willingness to be correctable takes us from the wrong paths into the
right paths. When we hear the voice of God through His Word it puts us into a unique crisis of belief. The fact is that God's Word is very challenging and it demands our discomfort and inconvenience in order to obey fully. The crisis of belief is this: If we hear the Word and do not take action then we deceive ourselves and we demonstrate to God that we do not really have faith in what He said. And actually doing what we hear may put us to discomfort and inconvenience for a season until we reap the blessing. The believer needs to separate themselves from the drive through mentality that says, "Have it your way." We always want what we want when we want and it usually means we want it
right now! With God there are SEASONS of planting before harvest comes. Correction is God's method of getting into the harvest seasons. Course adjustments in our thinking, speaking, and actions are like rain to thirsty land. You can spot a person who is truly hungry for God: They are easily corrected and glad to be admonished. The willingness to be corrected is our protection against pride. You cannot long for correction and be in pride at the same time. Correction is the opposite of offense. An offended person is impossible to bless. Your heart will receive the Word at the speed you desire correction. A teachable person is like a sponge for God's Word. They soak it in with a desire to search themselves
in order to present a greater offering to the Lord. If the Word can offend you then you are dry soil. If you allow the Word to correct you then you allow the Word to protect you. Notice what is dependant upon correction in Proverbs 1:23 shown above. God says that He'll pour out His Spirit upon those that are correctable at His Word. In the Spirit is where you'll find the solutions and victories to life. In the Spirit is where your health is, where you wealth is, and most importantly, where your fellowship with God is. In the Spirit is where the fruit is. (Galatians 5:22-23)

Bruce Simon, associate professor in the Department of English, will examine voting rights though the lens of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s, “Chiefly about War Matters,” Frederick Douglass’ “The Heroic Slave” and Herman Melville’s “Benito Cereno.” Jonathan Chausovsky, associate professor in the Department of Politics and International Affairs, will discuss the Voting Rights Act, the Supreme Court, and the contemporary war on voting. Randy Hohle, assistant professor in the Department of Sociology, Anthropology, Social Work, and Criminal Justice, will address the ways that unequal access to the vote has eroded the citizenship rights of people of color and contributed to the development of mass incarceration. Jellema Stewart, director of the Center for Multicultural Affairs (CMA), will discuss student voting, particularly as it relates to student groups under the umbrella of the CMA. The panel will be moderated by Professor
Mary Beth Sievens of the Department of History. The National Constitution Center and the American Library Association Public Programs Office organized the traveling exhibition, which was made possible by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). The traveling exhibition is based on an exhibition of the same name developed by the National Constitution Center. Additional funding has been provided by the CarnahanJackson Foundation, the Faculty Student Association and the Graebner-Bennett History Department Cultural Fund.

and Cattaraugus counties for his master’s thesis and, as a volunteer, for the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. Jessica Pasieka, his girlfriend, who shares his passion for bat conservation, assisted Townsend in the survey work. Before returning to Fredonia for graduate study, Townsend, who grew up in Olean and earned a bachelor’s degree in Environmental Science at Fredonia in 2005, worked as a naturalist, environmental analyst and biologist for non-profits such as the Buffalo Audubon Society, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, private companies and consulting groups. He is presently a biologist with Ecology and Environment, Inc., and resides in Stockton. “I was very much hoping to find the northern longears at the College Lodge,” Townsend said. “Western New York falls within their geographic range in general, and they have been identified elsewhere in the county
through the other surveys I conducted,” Townsend explained. “The presence of social calls at the lodge indicates good nursery as well as foraging habitat, which means they are likely raising young each year there.” Though considered medium-size, the northern long-eared bat has a wing span of nine to 10 inches. Its habitat in the eastern and north central United States encompasses 37 states and the District of Columbia, as well as many Canadian provinces. Adult northern long-eared bats can live up to 19 years. No other threat is as severe and immediate to the northern long-eared bat and other bat species as White Nose Syndrome, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Bats play an important role in nature by consuming massive amounts of insects, such as mosquitos that spread West Nile Virus and other diseases, as well as agricultural pests that include grape berry moths, Japanese beetles and grape rootworms.

After symptoms of the disease were first observed in New York State in 2006, White Nosed Syndrome spread rapidly from the Northeast to the Midwest and Southeast, an area that includes the core of the northern long-eared bat’s habitat. Additional factors believed to impact the ability of bat species to survive include loss or degradation of summer and winter habitats, environmental pollution and wind turbine operation.

ENTERTAINMENT 15 1891 Fredonia Opera House
Cinema Series to screen heartbreaking 'Still Alice'
Contributed Article 1891 Fredonia Opera House The next feature film in the Opera House Cinema Series is “Still Alice,” the story of an accomplished linguistics professor’s slow decline with Alzheimer’s which won Julianne Moore an Oscar. It will be screened on Sat., Mar. 28, and Tues., Mar. 31, at 7:30 p.m. Based on the book “Still Alice,” by Lisa Genova, the film is the story of Alice Howland (Moore), a renowned linguistics professor who starts to forget words. When she receives a diagnosis of Early-Onset Alzheimer’s Disease, Alice and her family find their bonds thoroughly tested. Her struggle to stay connected to who she once was is frightening, heartbreaking, and inspiring. Moore’s performance in the film has earned universal acclaim including Best Actress wins for the Golden Globe Awards, the Screen Actors’ Guild Awards, the Critics’ Choice Movie Awards, and The British Academy Film Awards, in addition to the Oscar. The film also stars Alec Baldwin, Kristen Stewart and Kate Bosworth. Kenneth Turin, in the Los Angeles Times, says “losing your mind is a terrible thing to watch, but the splendid acting in ‘Still Alice’ makes it worth the pain.” Steven Rea, in the Philadelphia Inquirer, says “the great strength of the film is that it never resorts to cheap sentimentality. The facts themselves are hard enough, crushing enough.” Renee Rodriguez, in the Miami Herald, calls the film “harrowing, as any story about Alzheimer’s should be, but Moore gives it an extra layer of gravity and heartbreaking inevitability.” Rex Reed, in the New York Observer notes “thanks to this brave and gutsy actress’ overwhelming candor and sincerity, you go away feeling educated, enlightened and more compassionate than you can possibly imagine.” Rated PG-13 for mature thematic material, and brief language including a sexual reference, “Still Alice” runs 101 minutes. The Opera House Cinema Series is sponsored by Lake Shore Savings Bank. Tickets are available at the door for $7 (adults), $6.50 (seniors & Opera House members) and $5 (students) the night of each screening. A book of 10 movie passes is available for $60 at the door or online at www.fredopera.org. For more information, call the Opera House Box Office at 716-6791891. The Opera House is equipped with individualized closed captioning headsets for the deaf as well as with assistive listening headsets for the hearing-impaired. Simply request one from any usher or Opera House staff member. The 1891 Fredonia Opera House is a member-supported not-for-profit performing arts center located in Village Hall in downtown Fredonia.

regularly, 6 out of 10 deaths from colorectal cancer could be prevented. Colonoscopy Colonoscopy is the gold standard among colon cancer screening tests. It is the best way to determine the existence of small polyps and whether they may be developing into cancer. A colon polyp is a benign tumor or growth on the inner surface of the colon. For unknown reasons, some individuals grow polyps, or small lumps of tissue, on the inner wall of the colon. What’s important is that colon polyps may turn into colon cancer over time. While not every colon polyp turns to cancer, it is believed that almost every colon cancer
begins as a small noncancerous polyp. That’s why a colonoscopy screening is vital to preventing colorectal cancer. Unfortunately, colonoscopies have consistently low compliance rates — as low as 25-30 percent by some estimates. It may be discomfort and embarrassment for the most part, but patients have also indicated that inefficient scheduling is another common culprit. When patients are responsible for scheduling their own screenings, they can easily forget about it or let it slide down their to-do list. Westfield Memorial Hospital Direct Scope Program In an effort to cut through some of the
obstacles and barriers to care, Westfield Memorial Hospital has instituted a new “Direct Scope” program that streamlines the scheduling process to better ensure that more patients will undergo the screening procedure. Patients or their Primary Care Physician can make one phone call to the Westfield Memorial Hospital Scope Program to schedule the screening colonoscopy at a time that is convenient for them. In most cases, the procedure can be scheduled within days of the call. The team of surgeons and gastroenterologists who are part of the Westfield Memorial Direct Scope Program have set aside specific
times for scheduling Direct Access cases and it has proven to be satisfying to patients and their primary care physicians. This proactive outreach has also become a strong motivator for patients, many of whom react with an attitude of "might as well get it over with it!" With busy schedules and valuable time, the doctors and staff of Westfield Memorial Hospital have committed to improving the scheduling process so that more patients will undergo screening colonoscopy. So, if you’re over the age of 50 and haven’t had a colonoscopy, take advantage of the Direct Scope program at Westfield Memorial Hospital. Call 716-793-2221 for more information.
Westfield Memorial Hospital Direct Scope Access Scheduling a colonoscopy
just got easier. In an effort to make scheduling screening colonoscopies easier for patients and physicians,
Westfield Memorial Hospital now offers a Direct Access program.
Referring physicians and patients may simply call the Westfield Direct Scheduling line at 716-793-2221 and you will be connected to the Endoscopy Department where your screening colonoscopy will be scheduled with one of our four providers: Scott Bedwell, MD; Vladislava Buntic, MD; Russell Elwell, MD; Yasser Jamal, MD. The risk of getting colorectal cancer increases with age. So if you are 50 years old or older do yourself and your loved one a favor by scheduling a screening colonoscopy. It could help save your life. Call Westfield Memorial Hospital Direct Scope Access at 716-793-2221 today.

Committing to Healthy Eating TURNING SMALL CHOICES INTO A LIFESTYLE By Tonja Dodd Contributing Writer
March has been deemed National Nutrition Month® for over 40 years. In 2015 the American Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (AAND) sponsored message is, Bite into a Healthy Lifestyle®, encouraging consumers to make eating right a lifelong commitment. But what does that really mean? And how? Eating right should become part of your everyday behavior. The choices you make about food and drinks are (almost) always healthy ones and you don’t even think about it – it’s old hat. It’s like brushing your teeth. Every day. At least twice a day. A true habit. That is how intuitive and engrained into your life healthy eating choices should be. Eating healthy becomes your lifestyle. The groceries you buy, how you flavor your food and cook it, the places and choices you make when you eat out, the people you spend time with – all are influenced by your desire to eat healthy. It is part of who you are. But what should you eat? Consumers are constantly bombarded with information about what to eat. Don’t fall into the traps of fads. Pay attention to what the collective science says. In addition to the AAND, the USDA has science-based guidelines for Americans and can be found at choosemyplate. gov.
I interpreted a few messages from choosemyplate to show you how you can make healthy eating part of your daily routine. • Enjoy your food and eat less of it – take pleasure and time when you eat savor the food you eat and eat slowly – you will be less likely to overeat • Make half your plate vegetables and fruits – every meal or snack, stop and look at your plate, is it mostly vegetables and fruits? Eating whole fruits and vegetables gives you a sense of fullness and provides much needed vitamins, minerals, fiber and other key nutrients often missed • Replace sugary drinks with no-calorie drinks – skip the soda and fancy latte; instead drink water with lemon or unsweetened tea – it’s an easy way to cut calories – and you won’t miss it, in fact you will find you won’t crave sugary foods as much. Sound intimidating? Not who you are? You have good intentions but after a week you fall off the wagon? First, remind yourself why eating well is a good idea– for instance your skin will look better, your gastro-intestinal (GI) system will work better, you will better manage your weight and have more energy, and more generally a healthy diet prevents many chronic conditions (such as high blood pressure, diabetes, osteoporosis and some cancers) and helps manage them if you have them. If that doesn’t resonate, do it for your
vanity. Do it for your family, your kids/grandkids. How? Make a plan. And act on it. Now. Visualize yourself in this new lifestyle. Ask, what would I look like in this new lifestyle? Who would I be? Write it down or draw a picture of your vision. Find a photograph that paints this picture. Make your vision your mantra. Examples could be, I will look and feel good because I make healthy eating a part of my life. I eat well for good health and to maintain a healthy blood pressure. Eating healthy is who I am so I can set an example for my children. Next, start with small tangible steps – all the foods in my grocery cart will be healthy this week. I will track my food and beverage intake for two weeks. I will have only one soda a month as a treat, starting April 1. Need more in-depth nutrition information? Go to eatright.org or choosemyplate.gov.

22 AUTO TIPS AND TRICKS
CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, MARCH 20, 2015
8 CPO Luxury Sedans for $50,000 or Less
Contributed Article
AutoTrader.com
If you're looking for a discount on a full-size luxury sedan, you probably won't find a big one if you buy a new model, but there are deals to be had if you choose a used car, especially a certified preowned (CPO) vehicle. These cars combine many of the benefits of buying a new car, including a manufacturer-backed warranty, with the value of buying used, giving you the best of both worlds. To help illustrate our point, we've rounded up eight excellent luxury sedans that you can get today with a long certified pre-owned warranty for $50,000 or less. Audi A8 That's right, Audi's full-size, well-equipped A8 luxury sedan can be had with a full Audi certified pre-owned warranty, which provides coverage for up to 6 years or 100,000 miles from the original sale date, for around $50,000 or less. In fact, there are currently nearly 40 different A8 models on Autotrader matching that exact de-
scription and touting an amazing $30,000-plus discount from new. Best of all, we aren't talking about the outgoing A8 body style, which was discontinued following the 2010 model year. Instead, the models we're recommending come from the luxury sedan's latest generation, which means they will remain modern and current for years into the future. BMW 5 Series With a budget of around $50,000, you can have your pick of certified pre-owned BMW 5 Series models. And we really mean you can have your pick, as there are nearly 3,200 different 5 Series models on Autotrader for $50,000 or less. We especially recommend a V8-powered 550i, which boasts a muscular twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 that offers 445 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque, amazing figures that place the model near the top of the luxurysedan performance realm. Best of all, you'll get BMW's strong certified warranty, which offers 6 years or 100,000 miles of coverage from the car's original sale
date. Hyundai Equus While you may be surprised to see a Hyundai listed among competition from Jaguar, BMW, Lexus and Mercedes, the Equus certainly deserves a spot on any list of top luxury cars due to its impressive interior, long list of equipment and reasonable pricing. Pricing is even more reasonable if you consider a certified pre-owned example, as there are nearly 90 different Equus models on Autotrader for $50,000 or less. Icing on the cake is Hyundai's excellent certified pre-owned warranty, which is among the best in the business, consisting of 5 years or 60,000 miles of bumper-to-bumper coverage and an excellent 10 years or 100,000 miles of powertrain coverage from the original date of sale. Jaguar XJ The full-size Jaguar XJ is one of our favorite luxury sedans for a wide variety of reasons. Most of them relate to the car's style, which is aggressive, bold and unlike anything else on the road. But if you're looking for a good deal

on an XJ, depreciation is also a huge benefit. Prices are well in excess of $70,000 unless you look for a new, certified pre-owned XJ model, which is easy to find for under $50,000 among the nearly 100 models currently available on Autotrader. Certified used Jags also include the brand's excellent CPO warranty, which provides coverage for up to 6 years or 100,000 miles from the date of purchase. Lexus LS There are nearly 200 different Lexus LS sedans currently available on Autotrader with a certified pre-owned warranty for around $50,000 or less. That's great news for drivers interested in a good deal on a luxury sedan, especially since Lexus' warranty is generally regarded to be among the best in the business, touting 3 years of coverage from the day you buy the car. The same compliment can also be said about the impressive LS 460, which features a silky-smooth 4.6-liter V8, a cavernous interior and a comfortable ride, whether you're sitting in front or relaxing in back.
Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class The stylish MercedesBenz CLS-Class offers a unique look that helps it stand out from many staid, conservatively styled luxury sedans. It also offers a bold interior with modern styling and seating for only four, leading Mercedes to call it a luxury coupe. If that sounds appealing, consider this: There are nearly 70 different certified pre-owned CLS-Class models currently for sale on Autotrader for around $50,000 or less. And while we aren't thrilled with Mercedes' short 1-year warranty, we like the program's unlimited mileage and that you can pay extra to extend the warranty for additional years if you want. Mercedes-Benz EClass A wide range of Mercedes E-Class models are available with a certified pre-owned warranty for around $50,000 or less. In fact, there are 2,700 such vehicles currently on Autotrader. That means you can choose from a variety of engine types, body styles and even drivetrains, since
the E-Class offers both rear- and all-wheel drive. And while you'll only get a 1-year certified warranty from Mercedes-Benz, you get unlimited mileage from your date of purchase and the option to extend the warranty for several additional years at extra cost. Volvo S80 Although the Volvo S80 can cost well above $50,000 when new, many certified pre-owned models are available for well below that figure. In fact, many certified used S80s are in the $20,000-to-$40,000 range; you'll probably be able to pick one up without using your entire budget. That's good news for shoppers who want a well-equipped luxury sedan, since that's exactly what the S80 is. We like its smooth powertrains and comfortable ride, too. The best part is you'll be able to take advantage of Volvo's strong certified preowned warranty, which provides fully transferable, no-deductible coverage for up to 7 years or 100,000 miles from the original sale date.

Maple Weekend is one of the premier agritourism events in America. Almost 160 maple producers across New York State open their facilities to show people how maple syrup and related maple products are made from the tree to their table. This fantastic, family-oriented event takes visitors back to their agricultural roots as they learn how a clear, water-like sap becomes a golden brown nectar. Visitors tell us they enjoy the many different locations for the event because each producer has something different to teach and entertain the guests.

WHICH VARIETY OF MAPLE TREE PRODUCES THE BEST SYRUP?
Five Reasons to Buy Pure Maple Syrup
Contributed Article
There are a number of reasons to choose Pure Maple products in preference to other sweetener and sugar products available.
Maple Weekend
According to the Cornell Sugar Maple Research & Extension Program, the aptly-namedSugar Maple lives up to its name and is generally said to have sap with higher sugar content, thereby producing better flavored syrup than other maple species. Although no one knows the exact reason for the higher sugar content, scientists suggest it may be related to the structure of the wood where the sugar is stored. Other commonly tapped maples include the Red Maple (or Soft Maple), Black Maple andSilver Maple. And now, we take a moment to give you this brief science lesson: Sugar is produced in the leaves during photosynthesis. It is transported into the wood and stored during the winter, mostly in the form of carbohydrates. It is then converted to sucrose and dissolved in the sap. Now that you know where the maple sugar comes from, you’ll appreciate it even more the next time you’re pouring it over your pancakes! (Read about Maple Sap Production)
It’s Natural
Maple producers collect sap from the tree and boil it to remove water to concentrate the sugars and other substances produced by maple trees. Producers who tend the maple forest rarely use pesticides and fertilizers. Sugar making from maple trees is a traditional American activity. Turning maple sap into sugar has not changed from the basic process used by Native Americans hundreds of years ago even though the equipment has. So what you consume in Pure Maple is what the tree has produced from sunlight and soil.
Great Flavor
Pure Maple syrup is a unique and complex collection of flavors, one of which is the distinct maple flavor. Americans have used and cherished this flavor for more than 400 years. There are as many as 50 natural flavor elements that only exist in the real thing. No food chemist can reproduce this. And each Pure Maple syrup is different in flavor! This is due to the unique combination of soil, weather, tree physiology, and the craftsmanship of the maple producer. Pure Maple products provide a flavor adventure similar to wine, coffee, tea, or chocolate. All of these products reflect a unique combination of plant, growing location, and processing artistry. All of this is there to enjoy each time you consume a Pure Maple product.
There are Potential Health Advantages
Although Pure Maple contains mostly natural sugars, it contains other substances as well. Minerals absorbed by the tree are present, especially calcium. Sugar maples have a high calcium requirement and people do also. Phenols and antioxidants are present and can be active against cancer and free radicals. Potential health advantages of these natural compounds have been demonstrated in laboratory testing. These beneficial substances are removed in more highly refined sugars. For those with diabetes, Pure Maple must be consumed with the same care used for other foods. Its effect on blood glucose is the same as other sugars, but it has advantages described here that other sweeteners don’t have.
Buy Local!
The significant labor involved in gathering sap in the spring means that Pure Maple has its start mostly in small, family-run businesses. This is especially true in New York. Buying local means you are supporting a New York business, a community, and maybe your neighbor. It means that you can determine the conditions of production and where ingredients come from, if you want to. Maple production in New York is subject to state and federal laws and inspections. Buying local contributes to food security and keeps your money closer to home.
Sustainable Forestry
New York is 63% forests, which is the best use for much of our landscape. Forests provide a natural filter for our water supply. They store carbon better than other landscape uses, thus combating global warming. They provide habitat for many plants and animals, helping to preserve biodiversity. They are a great place to enjoy the wonders of nature. Pure Maple is a renewable sustainable resource. Maple sugaring allows you to appreciate a small part of the value of the forest as part of your daily meals while helping to sustain this natural resource.

NCCYHA HOLDS 30TH ANNUAL INVITATIONAL TOURNAMENT AT STEELE HALL By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
The Steele Hall ice rink on the Fredonia State University campus was even more busy than usual this past weekend. There were hockey players, parents and officials everywhere. The reason, of course, was the Northern Chautauqua County Youth Hockey Association’s 30th Annual Lake Shore Savings Invitational Tournament. “This is our 30th year holding the tournament,” NCCYHA league president Shaun Fadale said. “It’s a big deal. We try to moderate it so that we get comparable teams to play each other. A lot of these teams we share tournaments with. We’ll go to their tournament and they’ll come to see us. Kevin Persch, our tournament director, really puts together a great tournament.” The tournament brought teams from all over Western New York and even Eastern Ohio to the Fredonia campus. The players ranged from ages 4-18 across three divisions — Squirt, Pee Wee and Midget. (Photos by Stefan Gestwicki) The NCCYHA Steelers had teams in each of the three divisions, totaling over 50 local players. The tournament had 12 teams and more than 200 players in total. “The tournament is a pretty big fundraiser for the league,” Persch noted. “I’m not exactly sure how it compares to the spaghetti fundraiser, but it’s probably pretty close. This is definitely one of our top two fundraisers. “Lake Shore Savings is our title sponsor,” Persch continued. “They’ve been doing that for years. DFT/Netsync is sponsoring our concession stand upstairs. We also have some other donors that wish to remain anonymous. Fieldbrook Farms has always been great to us. They donate ice cream every year. Those are just some of the sponsors that we’d like to thank.” Of course, none of this could have happened without the partnership the league has with the college itself. “(University President) Dr. Horvath is instrumental in all of this,” Fadale added. “She does puck drops. You see her peeking in and watching games throughout the course of the weekend. The staff here is great, too. The managers here make sure the ice is done on time. They sharpen CONTINUED ON PG 31

The Mandatory Bills' Moves Review
By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
The Buffalo Bills have won the Super Bowl of the offseason. If the goal was to make as many headlines as possible, the Bills passed with flying colors. As easily the most active team in the National Football League, the Bills gave their players and fans reason to be excited for next season. Whether this plethora of moves will actually equate to wins remains to be seen, but for a team CONTINUED ON PG 27

MANDATORY BILLS REVIEW, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 26 that hasn’t made the playoffs this millennium, it was probably worth the risk. The first thing the Bills did, of course, was bring in Rex Ryan to be the team’s next head coach after Doug Marrone inexplicably, moronically, idiotically opted out of his contract and eventually ended up as the offensive line coach of the mighty Jacksonville Jaguars. Ryan has a reputation in the league, for better or for worse. Yes, he’s a loud, brash, cocky man. But he also brings the reputation of being a brilliant defensive mind. For a team that already has a ton of talent on the defensive side of the ball, Ryan could conceivably elevate this unit to elite status like he did with an equally talented Baltimore Ravens unit as a defensive coordinator. Ryan immediately started making moves. Ryan brought in former San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator Greg Roman to serve the same position in Buffalo. After looking at the stats that showed the 49ers in the bottom five in nearly every offensive statistic, I hated the move and didn’t understand why Ryan would choose this bum. But then I remembered when the Green Bay Packers hired Mike McCarthy as their head coach in 2006. He had been the coordinator for pathetic offenses in both San Francisco and New Orleans before being hired in Green Bay. I hated the hire with a passion. Well, 10 years later and it’s pretty clear that I was a fool. So perhaps Roman is more than what the statistics show. Let’s hope so. Ryan was unable to convince Jim Schwartz to stay on as defensive coordinator, so Ryan brought in Dennis Thurman for the job. Thurman held the same job in New York under Ryan for the past two years. As terrible as the Jets have been lately, there’s no denying that they’ve still had more than respectable defenses. I have little concern that the Bills defense will be great under Ryan’s watch. Rounding out Ryan’s staff was, well, Ryan’s staff. Nearly every assistant was brought over from New York. That actually tends to happen a lot in the NFL, so it’s not surprising. Hopefully they can build a better team than they had with the Jets. Well, there’s no escaping the biggest move of all, so I guess I’ll get to it. Yes, the Bills actually did trade star linebacker Kiko Alonso to the Philadelphia Eagles for all-world running back LeSean McCoy. That wasn’t a dream. Shady is a Bill. Honestly, my first reaction to this news was pure horror. I couldn’t believe the Bills would ship away one of their up-and-coming stars (not to mention fan favorites) for a running back with a
Even a respected, almost feared, player like C.J. Spiller won’t be missed at all once McCoy is back there. The guy can do it all. And unlike Spiller, he can actually find holes to run through (*gasp*). I’m excited to watch this guy play. He’s the real deal, no doubt, it’s just a matter of having tread left on the tires. The new contract he signed might come back to bite the Bills, but it at least lowers his cap hit for this season. Most recently, the Bills made a splash by signing receiver Percy Harvin. This is a move that I’m still not sure about. There’s no denying Harvin’s skill, but the guy has been run out of town three times now. He punched a teammate in the face. I remember him mysteriously missing key games against the Packers because he had migraines. As a migraine sufferer myself, I understand the vomit-inducing pain, but com’on man. There are going to be many upset fans if Harvin misses games for Buffalo. The deal wasn’t cheap either. For a team with plenty of other needs, it seems like the money could have been spent better elsewhere. There’s also only one ball. With McCoy, Harvin, Robert Woods, Sammy Watkins and possibly Charles Clay if Buffalo finds a way to sign the tight end, someone is bound to be unhappy with their usage. It just seems like it’s asking for trouble. Rex Ryan smiles during an NFL football news An offensive move I do like is the signing of fullconference where he was introduced as the new back Jerome Felton. Felton has paved the way for head coach of the Buffalo Bills, Wednesday, Jan. 14, 2015, in Orchard Park, N.Y. (AP Photo/Bill some amazing runners.

It’ll be nice to have a player ton of miles on his legs already.

Then there’s the quarterback position, which the But the more I thought about it, I came to peace Bills “addressed” with the trade for Matt Cassel and the signing of long-time Joe Flacco backup with the trade. The reasoning is multifold. First Tyrod Taylor. I’ll be honest, I don’t know anyoff, Alonso was hurt all of last year. He didn’t thing about Taylor. I’ll be honest again, I think play a snap and the Bills defense was still an Matt Cassel is fairly, if not very, terrible. Sure you amazing unit.

It seems that some teams can nario, Manuel becomes the player that the Bills just plug in anybody into the backfield and get thought he’d be when they drafted him. Worst a productive runner.

MANDATORY BILLS REVIEW, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 27 tor. Look for the veteran to start the season under center but give way to Manuel. Perhaps this team could be like a San Francisco of a few years ago. Great defense and two capable quarterbacks. It’s not impossible, right? The best free agent the Bills signed was on the team last year as well. Defensive end Jerry Hughes came back for about $9 million/year. He quoted “unfinished business” as his reasoning for coming back, but who would turn down that kind of money? He was Buffalo’s best player at times last season, so bringing him back was a no-brainer for management. I’ll be happy to have him back in Buffalo even if he regresses slightly from his output the past two seasons. The biggest loss of the offseason (beside Schwartz, perhaps) was safety Da’Norris Searcy. I’ve always loved Searcy’s game. The guy just knows how to play football. But Tennessee gave the former Bills safety a whopping four-year $24 million contract. That’s a ton of money. He’s a good player, but that’s great player money. Either way, Buffalo should address the safety position in the draft because Searcy’s 65 tackles and three interceptions last season won’t be replaced easily. The signing of offensive lineman Richie Incognito created some waves in the NFL universe as well. This is the guy that got caught in the Miami bullying scandal a few years ago. From all accounts, Incognito is a gigantic jerk. But he’s not exactly a criminal. And he’s made the Pro Bowl as an offensive guard — a position of major need for Buffalo. So while not thrilled that this guy is back in Buffalo (he spent part of the 2009 season with the Bills), as long as he doesn’t get into trouble, he should help the team. Rex Ryan is a guy that doesn’t seem to have locker room issues, so perhaps his influence will be good on Incognito. There are other, smaller moves of course, but the Bills had a pretty good offseason. The team is going to look very different when it takes the field

next season, but it should be improved. There’s no way Cassel is a downgrade from Kyle Orton and there are way more offensive weapons than I ever remember. If nothing else, the Bills should be fun and relevant, two things they haven’t really been in recent memory.

Decade Of Dominance: A Conversation With Fredonia Diving Contributed Article FSU Sports Information Dept.
Fredonia sent its first-ever diver, Kelly Sponholz, to NCAA Championships back in 2006. Now in 2015, 10 seasons after that first diver walked onto the national stage, four more Blue Devil divers are preparing for .that same spotlight. Over the decade, Fredonia has won 28 out of 48 SUNYAC titles and sent 10 divers to NCAA Championships, eight of which were named All-American. On Thursday before practice the four divers and two coaches sat down to discuss the growth of Fredonia's diving program and dealing with the stress of national competition, which takes place March 18 - 21 in Shenandoah, Texas. Ryan Maloney: Leading up to this article I did this little experiment where I go around and ask people what the best sports program is on this campus. Can you guess what people say? Meghan Bartlett: Diving (laughing) Arron Carlson: Soccer, or hockey? Heather Colby: Basketball? RM: People tend to say women's lacrosse right now, because they've been very successful. But when you take a look at the diving program, it's not even close with how good you guys have been. Arthur Wang: I don't think that's news to them (everyone laughs). RM: Honestly though, 60% of the SUNYAC Championships over the last 12 years have gone to Fredonia, including 95% on the women's side in the last ten. That's incredible. So I want to get your take on why the diving program is so good and coaches I want to turn to you first. AW: The success of this program comes from (volunteer assistant coach) John Crawford who, ironically, never was a diver himself. A lot of the established routines that are built into the foundation of this program are things that he's learned. He's read a lot, and he's created a high intrinsic value for every diver who comes into this program. We look for recruits who have good, solid morals and who are talented. It's been built slowly but now any recruit who wants a chance to go to NCAA's has to make a visit to Fredonia before making a decision. Ryan Fuller: Yeah, with our recruits we look for good moral characters and hard workers. I think that everyone is very determined and that has come through the program. Hard work and determination have been key. RM: And I imagine you can't have this level of success without finding those talented divers, so divers, "why did come to Fredonia?" MB: I was orginially at a Division I program, but I really wanted to come to a strong Division III program. I came to a camp here my senior year of high school and I remember working with Ryan, and I remember working with Crawford, and I loved the way they had everything set k up. You went back to the basics and worked on small things like board work, which a lot of places don't do. The divers here are really strong too and you really push yourself. Heather is my strongest competition and we were battling the whole year. We love each other but we want to beat each other. HC: Personally I wasn't that great in high school, but when I came here Crawford showed me around the campus. He actually showed me the pool last and I fell in love with the environment. It wasn't only how good the divers were but it was their attitudes towards me. I felt comfortable

with everyone. We're weird, and we're fun, and that's why Fredonia was so welcoming to me, because I felt a friendship the first day that I came here. RM: Now, Ryan, we hear the name Crawford being thrown around a lot but you've taken over the program now and were named SUNYAC Diving Coach of the Year in your first year (everyone cheers). Tell me how the transition has been for you. RF: Well at first it was really different to be the coach. I was in their place only two years ago and it was different being on the deck instead of in the water. But it's been a smooth transition, I think all the divers have been really welcoming. I try to keep things pretty similar to what was done with me in previous years. The divers do all the hard work though. My getting Diving Coach of the Year was all their work. I just try to give them confidence because I knew they could all be great. RM: Do any of the divers want to say anything about Ryan (all laugh). AC: Yeah, we had an amazing coach in Crawford and he knew so much, but when Ryan came in he already had all that knowledge built up from Crawford. He had a very good transition, coaching the same way Crawford did and keeping us all positive. The biggest thing that I found with Ryan is that he's done this. He's been to nationals, and had struggled with the same hard dives that we're working on now. He helped us push through to be better overall divers. CONTINUED ON PG 30

What's that like to prepare for? Jeff Matter: It's nervewracking a little bit. It's our last meet and the biggest one of our careers. We just try to get through practice though and have fun. HC: It's no longer a wholeteam experience, it's a singular diver experience. We're not just trying to go through the motions, but have fun with it too because we earned this. We want to enjoy ourselves because this is Nationals. RM: I'm going to stick with you Heather because you were close to getting to Nationals for three years, and now you're there. What does that mean to you? HC: My four years haven't quite gone as planned (laughs). I was out with an injury part of my freshman year and sophomore was a rough year mentally and physically so I ended up stepping away. I came back junior year with limited preparation. This year, I was out with an injury for a while but I did my best. Making it felt that much better because I literally tried as hard as I could. I feel mentally and personally accomplished because I pushed through more than I anticipated. I'm more proud of myself than I've ever been in my life. RM: To the guys now: You both won the regional zone meet (in Geneseo) which is quite an accomplishment. It sometimes gets over-
looked though because of the success of all the other divers. How difficult is it to get to this point? AC: Going into that meet we're more prepared from doing well at SUNYAC's. We don't worry about chasing first place at Zones, but rather getting in a place where it will take us to nationals. It's a little bit less scary for us knowing that we're in a good position with our scores. It's a very hard meet to win, and winning it was great, but ultimately it's about getting to Nationals. JM: Yeah, it's not easy at all. There are so few divers who get to go to nationals, only 24 from the entire country. It's the whole country and it's never easy to get there. RM: Megan, you won both boards at SUNYAC's. I imagine if anyone had high expectations to do well next week it would be you. How do you deal with those expectations? MB: Going into SUNYAC's I knew it was kind of on me because we wanted to make it 10 years in a row of winning the 3-meter. They wanted the whole decade of divers getting first place, and I didn't even realize that until I got there and someone told me. I was shaking, I was so scared. But going into my last dive I saw that I was going to win and rode that wave into one-meter. I think I push myself the most though. Even though my coaches want me up top, I'm the hardest on myself. HC: Can I add to that? I think Megan thrives on competition. She freaks herself out but she does
the best of the best when she has someone there to push her, whether it be me, or someone at another competition. When she has that person there, she'll go miles. RM: I don't really think about that with diving. I normally see it as an individual sport. HC: I think mentally she needs that because it really helps her thrive. RM: And there has to be a lot of fear that goes with all this. I mean, I don't even want to get up on one of those things, let alone jump off it. How do you deal with the fear involved in all this? Heather, I'd particularly like to hear from you because of what you've been through this year (all laugh). HC: I've always gone nuts over adrenaline and when we were in Florida this year I wrecked my neck from 33 feet (3 meter diving board). I went back up afterwards to take a picture and a wave of anxiety hit me. It was something I wasn't anticipating. The second I stepped up there. MB: I remember you sat down on the board and you were just holding your head. HC: My whole entire body was like, "Nope! Nuh Uh!" That was something I was never used to, being scared of heights. And Ryan would just not let me get away with it. He said he understood that I was going to be scared but that it would be baby steps. We took it jump by jump and I gradually got back into it and learned not to be afraid anymore. It was a surreal experience but I couldn't be happier that he

didn't give up on me. RM: And lastly, what are each of your goals for nationals? JM: Top eight. If I can go top eight at nationals I'm happy. Winning would be cool, but I'm not necessarily expecting that. HC: I haven't even thought of it until right now. I like to set realistic goals, but I'd be comfortable coming out in the top 15. MB: I have two goals: one is top eight, and the other is to not trip and kill myself beforehand because I'm really clumsy (laughs). AC: Going back this year I want to do better than last year (13th).

myself. At this point we've all made it. After the interview the divers went to start their pre-practice routines. Colby soon ran back to the interview area, clearly with something important to say: HC: Can I say just one more thing? I wanted to say that I think another thing that really helps the divers is the support we get from our family and friends. They're always there either physically, emotionally, texting us, calling us, making sure that we do our best. Even if we're feeling bad they make sure we have no excuses. They're always encouraging us to do better.

While the tournament itself is of course a great event, the influx of people into our community helps local businesses as well.
“We partnered with the Clarion this year,” Persch noted. “Most of the teams are staying there. Some of the teams like Hamburg might not even be staying in a hotel, but they’re definitely going to local businesses. I heard a team saying they were going to Wing City, so the tournament definitely is helping local businesses.” For 30 years this tournament has been spreading the message of sportsmanship and the importance of youth sports. Let’s hope it continues for another 30 and more.

Knight Of The Card Table Reviews...
BASEBALL HIGHLIGHTS 2045: IT'S BASEBALL...WITH ROBOTS, CYBORGS AND HAND MANAGEMENT game to be played with 1-4 players, but this is really meant to be a two-player game. Suggested playing time is 45 minutes, but that seems long to me. Half an hour is probably more accurate. Suggested ages are 9 and up, but even a basic Sir Melvin understanding of hand Pistachio Knight of the Card Table management in games or baseball would allow a younger player to do just fine. Here’s a shocker: I like sports. I also very much enjoy board games. Unfortunately, I have found very few games that keep the sports feel while also providing a solid gameplay experience. Usually it’s either an incredibly dull game or the sports theme is nonexistent. But that hasn’t stopped me from trying new sports games. Eventually I have to find one I like, right? That attitude led me to Baseball Highlights: 2045. Let’s take a look at this innovative baseball card game. BACKGROUND Baseball Highlights: 2045 was designed by Mike Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald is the mind behind other hit games such as Diamonds and the Mystery Rummy series. BH2045 was first published earlier this year (2015) and is put out by Eagle-Gryphon Games. The contents of the box enable the
INTRODUCTION The game is set in the year 2045. Baseball had fallen out of favor in America and major changes were made to the sport. Games were shortened to six innings and pitchers started to get bionic implants in their throwing arms. These cyborgs started throwing so hard and accurately, however, that human players could no longer hit. Therefore, robots were introduced to hit, but these robots were terrible fielders. So now the league has naturals, cyborgs and robots on the field at the same time. Each player takes control of a team and can play regular season games or jump right into a seven-game series. MECHANICS The game is mostly about hand management, but there is definitely a deck-builder feel to it. Each player
starts the game with a deck of 15 fairly basic cards. These cards depict either a robot, cyborg or natural and also show what that card is capable of. Some cards are clutch hitters and will automatically hit a double if there is a player in scoring position. Other cards can cancel all hits against robots. A few pain-in-the-butt cards will turn an automatic double play and erase up to two base runners. The key element to the game is threatening hits. On the bottom of each player card, it shows a number of hits and how fast the ensuing base runners are (slow, average, fast). If I play a card that threatens two average singles and you don’t play a card that cancels hits, then at the end of your turn, I am going to resolve my impending hits. It’s very much a game of cat and mouse.
At the beginning of each mini-game, players each draw a hand of six cards from their deck. That’s all they have to play with for “Game 1” of the series. There’s no playing a card and drawing a card. What you have is what you get. The visitors play a card, resolve any immediate effects, place any threatening hits on the board and then play passes to the home team. The home team then plays a card, resolves any immediate effects (such as canceling a hit), places any threatening hits and then the visiting team would resolve any his that didn’t get canceled. Play continues like that until each player has played all six of their cards. The player with the most runs wins that mini game. Perhaps the most fun part of the game takes place between minigames. Each player
card has a monetary value. Players add up the total value of the six cards they played during that mini-game and get to purchase free agents from a pool of available players in the center of the table. These players are much, much better than the generic starting players. When one of these free agents is purchased, another card from the deck must be sent to the “Minors” so that the deck is still exactly 15 cards. Then players draw six more cards and play Game 2 of the series, followed by another buy phase. This continues until a player has won four games. FINAL THOUGHTS Wow. Wow. Wow. I love this game. I love the simplicity of the back-and-forth card play. I love the robots playing baseball. I love the artwork. I
love names of the free agent naturals (Mickey Maris, Barry Sosa, Willie McGwire, Troy Jeter, etc.) The game seems to be incredibly balanced, too. There was one series that I played in where my opponent really got hosed with how his money got balanced between games. He simply couldn’t buy any of the best players available. I ended up with much better players and won because of that. But that was one game out of dozens. Honestly, the solo play is a ton of fun, too. It’s incredibly difficult, but I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my experience. Winning is very luck-based as you draw a deck of 15 random free agent cards to play as the A.I. and sometimes they get the best players and simply pummel you into oblivion.
TO OWN OR NOT TO OWN This has to be an own for all baseball fans. It’s by far the best sports game I’ve ever played. It lends itself to multiple expansions (of which there are already a few small ones) and it was just released so it’s still very easy to find. In a hobby where games go out of print quickly and can become hard to find, I highly recommend picking this one up as soon as you can.

Lindback Leads Sabres To OT Win Over Bruins By Doug Alden AP Sports Writer
BOSTON (AP) — Despite his second shootout in two nights, Buffalo goalie Anders Lindback found a way to top the Bruins. Lindback made seven of his 44 saves in overtime, then shut out Boston for three rounds of the shootout as the Sabres rallied to beat the Bruins 2-1 on Tuesday night.

34 SPORTS Bills Sign Former Miami TE Clay To Offer Sheet
CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, MARCH 20, 2015
By John Wawrow AP Sports Writer
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) -- Tight end Charles Clay moved one step closer to leaving the Miami Dolphins after signing the Buffalo Bills' five-year, $38 million contract offer on Tuesday night. A person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press that the Bills extended Clay the offer. And a second person told the AP that Clay had signed it. Both people spoke on the condition of anonymity because the Bills and Clay have not publicly discussed their negotiations. The signing means the Dolphins have five days to match the offer or lose Clay to Buffalo without compensation. Miami retained the right to match after awarding Clay a transition tag two weeks ago. The move ensured that Clay will make at least $7 million this season. The Dolphins could be handcuffed by salary-cap constraints to match the Bills' offer after Miami signed free-agent All-Pro defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh to a $114 million, six-year contract last week. It made Suh the highest-paid defensive player in NFL history. The Bills made Clay one of their top free-agent targets this offseason. Clay traveled to Buffalo by private jet on March 10, the first day of the league's signing period. He then spent several days in town to meet with team officials and tour the region. Clay has been a four-year starter in Miami since being selected in the sixth round of the 2011 draft. He had 58 catches last season for 605 yards and three scores. Overall, he has 161 catches for 1,809 yards and 14 touch-

downs in 58 games. At 6-foot-3, and 255 pounds, Clay has the prototypical size and catching ability of a tight end that would fit the run- and short-pass oriented offense the Bills are introducing under new coach Rex Ryan and offensive coordinator Greg Roman. The Bills have already opened room on their roster to have Clay step in as a starter. Buffalo released Scott Chandler last week, and did not re-sign veteran backup Lee Smith, who has since signed with Oakland. Their departures left Buffalo with only two tight ends on the roster, Chris Gragg and Marqueis Gray, who appeared in five games last season after the Bills claimed him off waivers. The Bills, coming off a 9-7 season, have already been busy upgrading an offense that finished 26th in the league last season. Two weeks ago, Buffalo acquired running back LeSean McCoy in a trade with Philadelphia. On Friday, they agreed to sign free agent receiver Percy Harvin to a one-year contract.
Patriots Sign Former Bills TE Chandler
The New England Patriots signed free agent Scott Chandler on Monday, bolstering an already strong tight end corps. Chandler, 29, has played in 75 games with 35 starts in his seven pro seasons. He spent the last five years with the Bills and also has been with San Diego and Dallas. The 6-foot-7, 260-pound Chandler has 182 receptions for 2,120 yards and 17 touchdowns during his career. Last season, he made 47 catches for 497 yards and three touchdowns. He'll complement All-Pro Rob Gronkowski, the NFL Comeback Player of the Year in 2014, at the position.

As Harvick Soars, Can Anyone Stop The Champion? By Jenna Fryer AP Auto Racing Writer
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- To the surprise of none, Kevin Harvick won at Phoenix. Now in a zone not seen in NASCAR in several years, Harvick and crew chief Rodney Childers head to California amid a looming question: Can anyone stop the No. 4 team? The only way Harvick was going to lose at Phoenix was if he or his StewartHaas Racing team made some sort of mistake that would derail the inevitable. It didn't happen, and he routed the field Sunday while grabbing his fourth consecutive win at the Arizona short track. It's part of a streak that dates back to last season, when Harvick grabbed his first Sprint Cup championship. He's won five of the last 10 races, two straight this season, and has seven consecutive top-two finishes. e His streak of top-two finishes is the longest since Hall of Famer Richard Petty did it during his 1975 championship season. So now the No. 4 teams heads to California looking to sweep this three-race West Coast swing. It's left his competitors awe-struck at the chemistry that team has created in just over one year. Harvick moved from Richard Childress Racing to SHR after the 2013 season, and he and Childers sent a message to the entire garage area that December in their first test together when they were head-and-shoulders better than the rest of the field.

''I remember the days when Jeff Gordon won 13 races in a year. I remember watching every week, it was incredible,'' said Jamie McMurray, runner-up to Harvick at Phoenix. ''I think our sport is much tougher now to do that. I remember when the 4 car unloaded at the Charlotte test last year, first lap on the track he was literally the fastest car. For a year it's been that way.'' There have been other streaks in recent memory that rival Harvick: Tony Stewart won five of 10 Chase races in 2011; Jimmie Johnson won four straight Chase races in 2007, a run that rivaled his four wins in five races
in 2004, when he fell eight points shy of his first title; and Gordon in 1998, when he won 13 times and finished first or second in 15 of the final 19 events. So drivers do indeed cycle to the top of the Sprint Cup Series, and only Johnson, with five consecutive titles, has been able to maintain his grip as the best in NASCAR for any considerable length of time. But until SHR shifts into R&D mode to prepare Harvick for the seasonending 10-race Chase for the championship, there's no indication he can be stopped anytime soon. If there was going to be a serious challenge, though, it would likely come from one
of these drivers: -JOEY LOGANO: The Daytona 500 winner is so far this season the only driver able to keep pace with Harvick. He has top10 finishes in all four races and has started on the front row three times. He knew it was going to be tough to keep up with Harvick at Phoenix, where he led 35 laps but finished eighth. He's pretty good at California - remember, he was racing for the win against Denny Hamlin in 2013 when their accident left Hamlin with a broken back - and Team Penske is thought to have the best setups for grip in the garage. -BRAD KESELOWSKI: The 2012 NASCAR champion was neck and neck with Harvick last year, and might have given Harvick a run for the title had he qualified for the championship round. His team has not shown the same muscle yet this season as Penske teammate Logano, but the No. 2 does not appear to be that far off. Add in Keselowski's relentless drive, and it's hard to believe he won't push the entire Penske organization to close the gap on Harvick. -JEFF GORDON: The four-time NASCAR champion is coming off one of his finest seasons in several years, and many believe he would have won the championship if he had not been eliminated from contention with Harvick's win at Phoenix last November. Set to retire at the end of the season, he's made it clear he wants to go out on top. Although his results haven't come yet through
the first month of the season, he can't be counted out. Plus, his Hendrick Motorsports team uses the same chassis and engine package that Harvick gets at SHR. -JIMMIE JOHNSON: Never count out the sixtime champion or his crew chief Chad Knaus, who many believe are the model for Harvick and Childers. Johnson is regarded as the most balanced, all-around driver in the field; like Gordon has the same chassis ad engine package as Harvick; and already has a win this season. That victory at Atlanta gives Knaus breathing room and time to make a plan for the Chase. The No. 48 team can take risks and have some fun the next few months, then turn attention to preparing for the final 10. -KYLE BUSCH: Obviously, Busch won't stop Harvick this year. He's sidelined with a broken right leg and broken left foot suffered in a Feb. 21 crash at Daytona. But, if were in the car, he'd be one of the guys to eventually challenge Harvick. Regarded as one of the fastest drivers in the field, Busch is also one of the only drivers who has consistently beaten Harvick in Xfinity Series competition over the years. NASCAR's 2015 rules have given the Cup cars an engine and aero package that is more similar to the Xfinity Series, which would give Busch a comfortable feel that could play to his advantage.

Rory McIlroy Rules On A PGA Tour Where Talent Runs Deep
By Doug Ferguson AP Sports Writer
The PGA Tour hasn't seen this kind of parity in two decades. Jordan Spieth won the Valspar Championship last week at Innisbrook to become the 18th winner in 18 tournaments this season. The last time the PGA Tour went this deep before it had a multiple winner was in 1994 with Nick Price, whose second win came at Colonial in the 21st event of the season. Price went on to win six times that year, including consecutive majors at the British Open and PGA Championship, and finally got to a No. 1 ranking. Rory McIlroy already is there, and it's hard to imagine anyone replacing him this year. That won't make it any easier for Boy Wonder to pile up victories. The competition seems to be everywhere these days, even if McIlroy is just starting the PGA Tour portion of his schedule. Bubba Watson already has two Masters and a World Golf Championship, and he cannot be overlooked at Augusta National next month when he goes for a third green jacket in four years. Jack Nicklaus is the only other player to win that many in such a short stretch. Jason Day, already a winner at Torrey Pines this year, is healthy and working harder than ever. He has been at Bay Hill for two days this week, spent Tuesday afternoon in the hot sun with a towel wrapped around his chest and under his arms during a chipping drill. He tried to land his pitch shots on a tube of lip balm placed about 25 feet away and nailed it on the sixth try. The 21-year-old Spieth, in his third season, already has amassed more than $10 million for his career and picked up his second PGA Tour

title (fourth worldwide). Brooks Koepka won against a strong field in Turkey and Phoenix. Dustin Johnson, after sitting out for six months, lost in a playoff at Riviera and won the World Golf Championship at Doral in a span of three weeks. Koepka and Johnson are examples of how much more athletic golf looks now. The next generation — the group now faced with challenging McIlroy — grew up watching Tiger Woods outclass his competition. They were, in effect, trained by Tiger. They are hungry. And they are not intimidated by anything or anyone. Patrick Reed went so far as to dress like Woods, with black pants and a red shirt on Sunday. The 25-year-old Reed already has won four times, and he even showed the kind of fight that would have impressed his golfing hero in the playoff at Innisbrook when he twice turned impossible shots into pars until Spieth beat him with a 30foot birdie. Reed spoke late last year about the influence Woods had on him.
"He was so much better than anyone else at the time," Reed said. "With my growing up and watching it, I tried to copy his mental strength. ... You could see it just by looking at him in the eye. If looks could kill you, he would literally kill you. He was so focused and determined to play well. And that's what I'm trying to do." Matt Every, who picked up his first PGA Tour win last year in the Arnold Palmer Invitational, is in his fifth year on tour and already has noticed how much harder it is to win because of so many possibilities every week. "When I first got out here, about 20 percent of guys were in shape. Now it's 80 percent," Every said. "You hardly ever see a young looking sloppy." Whether this great depth is a detriment to golf is the question. It's easy to say that golf needs a dominant player because it had one for some 15 years. Even when Price went on his great run in 1994, he shared the stage with Nick Faldo and Greg Norman. Ernie Els and Phil Mickelson were the rising stars. Woods didn't have a rival. He had rivals, a revolving door of them for a decade, from Els to David Duval, from Mickelson to Vijay Singh. McIlroy isn't as dominant as Woods, at least not yet. There is no argument who is the best player in golf. And it's not because of the world ranking but because McIlroy won the British Open and PGA Championship in a span of four weeks and joined Nicklaus, Woods and Bobby Jones as the only players in the last century to win four majors by age 25. These things don't happen by accident. For now, the one comparison McIlroy has with Woods is trying to settle on a rival. There are more options now.

Lake Erie Fishing Hotline Contributed Article NYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation
s The Lake Erie tributaries are still mostly frozen over. There is some open water on Cattaraugus Creek at the Springville Dam and in Gowann da, as well as some small patches in the upper sections of smaller tributaries. However, waters are off color at present. The forecasted warming daytime temperatures and rain will continue to open the streams back up. Cattaraugus Creek is the best steelhead option if conditions permit. Considering the long, harsh winter, the smaller tributaries may be mostly void of steelhead at present, and an influx of fresh fish may not happen until the ice clears out. For those new to steelhead fishing, see the Steelhead Fishing in Lake Erie Tributaries page for information on steelhead fishing equipment, locations and links to stream maps. Dunkirk Harbor Ice is deteriorating in Dunkirk Harbor and the area surrounding the city pier is now open water. Anglers can target brown trout and steelhead from the pier or DEC fishing platform by casting spoons, spinners and jigs, or fishing live minnows or egg sacs under a float. Ice Fishing The main ice sheets on the inland lakes are still thick and holding up well. However, ice will get thinner with each passing day. Anglers should stay away from stream inlets/ outlets and pressure cracks. Shoreline areas will also thaw at a faster rate. Before you head out on the ice,
remember that a minimum of 3 to 4 inches of solid ice (blue or black, not white) is the general rule for safety, for individuals on foot. Five inches of solid ice is more suitable for small groups fishing together. Drilling holes or tapping with a spud bar to check ice thickness is recommended on your way out, or when moving around. Safety ice picks, boot cleats, throw rope and a floatation device are recommended safety supplies. Use good judgment and fish with a friend when possible. Those new to ice fishing can check the Ice Fishing Basics page for more information. See the Lake Contour Maps page for maps organized by county. Barcelona Harbor The harbor has good ice of around 8 inches or more. The trout fishing has slowed a bit, but anglers have recently caught some steelhead and brown trout through the ice. Try jigging with spoons tipped with waxworms or piece of minnow. Tip-ups with shiners are also worth a shot. Chautauqua Lake The ice on Chautauqua Lake is still plenty thick, with minimal slop on top. Sunday, March 15th will be the last chance to target walleye for the season (will re-open on May 3). Most of the recent walleye action has been in the north basin at depths of 25-35 feet of water. However, walleye can also be caught in shallower areas during late season as they move into these zones as the spawning period approaches. Targeting waters a safe distance off creek inlets can pay off. Traditional areas include Dewittville Bay, off Prendergast and Ashville Bay.
