Offering family-oriented activities both indoors as well as outside in the elements, the annual Snowflake Festival will take place this weekend in Jamestown. The one-day event will be hosted by the Jamestown Audubon Society and take place between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Saturday, February 7 at the Audubon Nature Center, located at 1600 Riverside Road in Jamestown. Traditionally held on the first Saturday of February. The Snowflake Festival focuses on winter recreation and nature as well as naturally sustainable products. Organizers encourage attendees to embrace and enjoy all that the winter weather in Western New York has to offer by participating in outdoor activities that include cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and dog sled races. The indoors programs will include opportunities to observe live animals, interaction with environmentally responsible exhibitors and access to educational exhibits and displays. "The Snowflake Festival is a marvelous opportunity to get a look at things that most people might not otherwise have a chance to view during the winter months," says Ruth Lundin, president of the Jamestown Audubon Society. "Between the outdoor activities and all of the indoor presentations and exhibits, we believe there is plenty to see, do and experience and there really is something for everyone." While subject to change due to the weather conditions,

know all that our world has to offer. There is no more ‘Westward Expansion.’ The ideology of manifest destiny is of a bygone era. That doesn’t mean, however, that we are stuck in our current location for the long haul. You see, we have an amazing opportunity that our predecessors have sought for us. While we may not be able to explore the wild west, we can explore the limits of manmade creation. I’ve seen so many lives that could be helped and enhanced if they would just embrace the benefits of technology. Rather than run in fear from the unknown, embrace it. Sure, there are risks. But they are mild and minimal in comparison to what our forefathers risked.

Explorers of old had to rise up with courage to step onto a boat and head toward the end of the world. Travelers in covered wagons hitched all that they had to their load-bearers and left the known for the unknown, quite possibly never seeing the familiar again. Ever. But it didn’t stop them. No, they kept going. Onward they pressed until they made for themselves a life worth living. So, as I marvel in the wonders of microchips and silicon, marvel with me. Go get that device that might cause your heart to leap. There will always be someone, somewhere to help you. There may be a period of unknowing, but the time will come when you realize, “wow, I wish I’d done this years ago.”

Carnahan-Jackson Foundation Supports Palliative Care Program

Contributed Article Hospice Chautauqua County

The Carnahan-Jackson Foundation has awarded Hospice Chautauqua County $10,000 in support of its Palliative Care Program. The Palliative Care Program was successfully piloted in 2012 and is expected to be self-sustaining by 2018. Medical advances in the last 30 years have dramatically increased the ability of people to live longer with chronic illness like heart disease, cancer, lower respiratory diseases and stroke. However, the quality of life for these patients is often lacking. Palliative care is the medical practice that focuses on helping these seriously ill patients and their families improve quality of life by alleviating symptoms, pain and stress, often times while they are undergoing curative treatments. "Keeping this medically intensive population comfortable and at home benefits the patient while saving our medical system considerable time and money by reducing unscheduled office visits, emergency room visits and hospital readmissions," said Stephen Sellstrom, Executive Director of the Carnahan-Jackson Foundation. "This is a program well-worth supporting." "Our palliative program is community-based,

which means we make house calls," said Dr. Thomas Putnam, Hospice Chautauqua Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Medical Director. "That is the simplest way of understanding what we mean when we say our services are 'community-based'." A wealth of additional information becomes available to the treatment team on a home visit that otherwise might not be readily available in an office visit. "Environmental, social and other influences can be observed. Safety, diet, pets, family dynamics, etc. can be observed in the home and more effective treatment can be devised," continued Dr. Putnam. Palliative care also benefits the caregiver and other family members. They receive training in, and are better able to provide, care to their loved one. They are connected to additional community resources and their lives are less disrupted giving them more time to manage

their own responsibilities related to employment, dependents, household management, etc. Since its inception, Hospice Chautauqua Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Palliative Care Program has received over 230 patient referrals. Seven children are currently receiving palliative care. The number of participating physicians throughout the county continues to grow and they are increasingly in collaboration with Dr. Putnam, the only board-certified palliative care physician in Chautauqua County. Hospice Chautauqua County specializes in care and services for patients and their families in the community who are dealing with life-limiting and terminal illnesses. Their team-based approach attempts help those individuals live to the fullest extent possible until the end of life. For more information about their programs contact the Lakewood office at 716-338-0033.

Nature Center Accepting Scholarship Applications Contributed Article Audubon Center and Sanctuary

Since 2003, the education staff of the Audubon Nature Center has held an annual birdathon to raise money to award a $500 scholarship to an area college-bound high school senior or Jamestown Community College student who intends to pursue a bachelor’s degree in an environmental or related field. These Audubon educators describe a birdathon as “a team of crazy birders looking for as many species as possible over a 24-hour period.” Their event is held in early May. In 2009 the award was named in honor of Ryan Paul Exline, a graduate student at Duke University who was studying for a Conservation De-

gree. An integral part of the Nature Center family for many years, the Russell, Pennsylvania, resident was 22 when he died on December 17, 2008, from injuries sustained in an automobile accident.

Snow Camp At Nature Center On Presidents Day Contributed Article Audubon Center and Sanctuary

Are you looking for a different experience for your child on Presidents’ Day? The Audubon Nature Center is presenting Snow Camp – like summer Day Camp only with a winter twist -- on Monday, February 16. So much happens at Day Camp in the summer, and it is so long between the seasons, that Audubon takes a winter day and invites all the campers and their friends back for a fun day during a winter break. This special winter opportunity for kids ages four through 18 begins at 9 a.m. and concludes at 3 p.m. Time will be spent outside, but there will also be inside camp games and songs. Teenagers will get the chance to try cross country skis or maybe snowshoes (if there is snow), play some outdoor games, perhaps geocache, and get a roaring fire going in the backyard.

Snow Camp is a great day to visit with old friends, make new friends, and spend time together. Campers are asked to dress for the weather and pack a complete change of clothes, winter gear, a snack, and a lunch. Cost for the day for the first child is $30 or $25 for Friends of the Nature Center. Siblings receive a $5 discount.

Reservations are required by Thursday, February 12. Call (716) 569-2345 or click on “Snow Camp” at www.jamestownaudubon.org. Teenagers who would like to be assistants in the camp rather than attend and play can call Sarah at (716) 569-2345. Audubon education programs are funded with support from the Carnahan Jackson Foundation, Jessie Smith Darrah Fund, Holmberg Foundation, Hultquist Foundation, Johnson Foundation, and Lenna Foundation. Located at 1600 Riverside Road, one-quarter mile east of Route 62 between Jamestown, New York, and Warren, Pennsylvania, the Audubon Nature Center has over five miles of beautifully maintained trails on a 600-acre wetland preserve. Its three-story building contains the Blue Heron Gift Shop and a collection of live fish, reptiles, and amphibians. One of the most visited exhibits is Liberty, a non-releasable bald eagle.

Pennies For Paws To Kick Off In February Contributed Article CCHS

The Chautauqua County Humane Society (CCHS) is excited to announce that the tenth annual Pennies 4 Paws campaign will begin February 12 and will run through the end of April. This year’s campaign will benefit CCHS’ ‘More Than a Shelter’ capital campaign, which will include a 2,000 sq. ft addition and multiple renovations to

the Strunk Road facility. The Pennies 4 Paws campaign hopes to collect 17 million pennies, or $17,000, by the end of the campaign. Sponsored by Media One Group, CCHS encourages schools, social organizations, individuals and businesses to fundraise in a variety of ways, including bake sales, school hat days, dress down days, pop bottle/can drives and other special events. Collection containers are also avail-

able if they are needed by any fundraising group. Although pennies are the most common, CCHS accepts any and all monetary donations. “With this year’s campaign supporting our building and renovation project, every penny truly counts,” said Hannah Braun, CCHS Community Relations Coordinator. “CCHS is making great strides in the rehabilitation of the animals that enter our shelter. Our community is the driving force behind this success,

so we are asking for their continued assistance in reaching our goal.” CCHS will break ground on the $750,000 two-phase building and renovation project in late Spring. Phase one will involve canine communal housing, which includes a formal training area and four 15’X19’ spaces that accommodate up to six dogs each. This will double the canine capacity at the shelter and will make lives for the dogs much happier and healthier.

The Weekly Word

yOuR DESiRE bRingS HiS POWER Matthew 5:6, "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness; for they shall be fi lled." The word "blessed" here means happy, joyous, spiritually prosperous, with life joy, and satisfaction in God's favor and salvation. This is exactly what everyone is looking for but yet the condition for obtaining such things is not being met. What is that condition? Hunger and thirsting after righteousness. Rev. Timothy Stahlman Or in other words, craving Family Church Jamestown the Born Again nature. To fcjamestown.org thirst and hunger means that one would take the attitude of considering death Far too often we are lookbeing more desirable than ing to Heaven for help when going without God's will in we ourselves have placed their life. I'll be honest, most our desires on things here Christians are not taking this on Earth. Jesus said in

1:5). The second step was to “tune in” to God’s voice by spending time in His presence (Acts 13:2). Today I want to address the next step to accessing God’s plan for your life…, “How does God speak to us?” I have had many Christians report their confusion when it comes to hearing God’s Rev. Michael Lokietek voice. This happens mostly due to a lack Family Church Fredonia of Biblical knowledge. fcfredonia.org While God can speak to us in many ways, I’ll be sharing with Dear Pastor, does you from the Bible, the God have a plan for major way that God my life? If so, how shares His will. Rocan I find it out? mans 8:16 states, “The We previously saw that (Holy) Spirit Himself the first step to receivbears witness with ing direct guidance our spirit that we are from God was to ask children of God.” This God for wisdom ( James scripture says that the

attitude with the things of God today and the Church is powerless as a result. How do you know that Christians are living without this attitude of passion towards the things of God? I talk to Christians who enjoy a football game with cheering and applauding a favorite team yet in church services they are lethargic and sleeping. Why the enthusiasm over a pigskin crossing a goal line and not over the Resurrection with Christ that produces eternal life? People are more likely to talk of the greatness of a team's defense than the goodness of their God. People will think nothing of giving a waitress at least 10% for a tip yet God gets less than a true

tithe on Sunday. Can you imagine stepping in front of the Throne of God and Him telling you that you honored your waitress more than Him? Ouch. Or how about when the worship music begins in church and people stand there silently checking their watch, "Are we done yet?" They forget that the Bible says in Hebrews 13:15, "...let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is the FRUIT OF OUR LIPS giving thanks to His Name." If we are expecting God to pour out the Living Water on our lives then our lips had better be rivers of praise and worship. Our hunger for God is the valve that allows the power of God to flow into our lives.

Psalm 37:4 says, "Delight yourself also in the Lord and he shall give you the desires of your heart." Of course we all would like to have the desires of our heart come to pass in our lives. Notice the condition of the verse. You must delight yourself in the Lord. The word delight here is an interesting word. It means to be flexible and teachable. It means to be poured into a mold and take the shape of God's Word. The Bible says that we are to be conformed into the image of God's Son, Jesus Himself. (Romans 8:29) We need the passion that Jesus has for the Father. If you are without the passion for God you will be without the power of God.

Keeping the Faith Holy Spirit speaks to us through our spirit. Although this method is the primary way God speaks to us, it’s often neglected or ignored. I think some Christians seek more “glamorous” experiences like visions or dreams or an “opinion poll” from others. God meant His guidance to be simple, direct, and easily available. This witness mentioned previously is a “knowing” or “sense in our heart” for what to do. While greeting cards use the concept of “heart” to mean our emotions, the Biblical use of the word “heart” more accurately relates to our conscience. The inner witness, then, is the voice of our conscience. When God

speaks to our heart, we don’t hear words, but we experience more of a “hunch”. For example, you “hear the voice” of conscience when you sin. Something in your heart tells you when you’ve done wrong. That same inner voice that “corrects” you, is the same voice that “directs” you if you’re open to hear. The Bible encourages us to follow our heart when it comes to making choices in life (Proverbs 3:5, 4:23). Unfortunately, we tend to make our decisions using our head, or our emotions, without taking time to listen to our heart. How can we prepare our heart to be more open to hearing from God? We can spend

Jamestown Program Offers Communication Senior Living Strategies For Dementia Caregivers Start-up Pledges To Give Back Contributed Article

Contributed Article Connect Senior Living

Start-up specializing in helping families navigate the complex world of senior care, Connect Senior Living, has created a program designed to give back to the community, by matching community service hours with every purchase. “Our company was created with the idea that families needed another option when it comes to finding senior care, “ says Benjamin Douglas, founder of Connect Senior Living. “This community service program not only shows our commitment to our product, but also a pledge to make the world a better place.” According to Douglas, the number of service hours employees will have to complete varies based on the program a customer buys. For the full-service “Connect Gold” package, Douglas says the company will commit to five community service hours. “Shortly after they’ve purchased their desired package, we will send them an update about how their community service hours were put to use, “ says Douglas. “We’re serious about giving back, and we want our customers to see the good that came with their purchase.” Founded in 2014, Connect Senior Living takes a unique approach to help families traverse a very sensitive time in their life. As a veteran of the senior living business, Douglas knows it’s not a one-size-fits-all process. “We’re not just looking for their name, age and how much they can spend. We want to get to know our clients,” he says. “What do they like, and what makes them happy? Based on our interactions with them and their family, we believe we can find the right community for each person.”

you Can Prevent Cervical Cancer Contributed Article Department of Health

The Chautauqua County Department of Health and Human Services Division of Public Health urges women to commit to protect themselves and their daughters against cervical cancer. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends HPV vaccination for girls and boys before their 13th birthday to protect against cancers caused by HPV – Human Papillomavirus, including cervical cancer. Cervical cancer was once the leading cause of cancer death for women in the United States. Now, thanks to cervical cancer screening and HPV vaccination, it is the most preventable of all of the female cancers. However, only 57 percent of adolescent girls and 35 percent of adolescent boys have received the first shot of HPV vaccine leaving them vulnerable to devastating cancers caused by HPV. About 79 million people, most in their late teens and early 20s, are infected with HPV, the type of virus that causes cervical cancer. That’s why it’s important to protect preteen and teen girls early through vaccination. HPV vaccine is also recommended for boys before their 13th birthday to protect against anal cancer and genital warts. You can use any visit, like an appointment for a camp or sports physicals, to ask your child’s doctor, nurse, or clinic about the shots your kids need. When you go in for your child’s first shot of HPV vaccine, don’t leave without making an appointment for the next shot. Ask the doctor’s office to send you a text, email, or phone reminder. “We have an entire generation of girls we could protect against cervical cancer,” said Dr. Anne

Schuchat, assistant surgeon general and director of CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases. “While cervical cancer might not be a household name, every year over 11,000 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer. If we can protect girls now, we could drastically reduce these numbers.” The cervical cancer death rate has gone down by more than 50% in the last 30 years, mostly as a result of cervical screening programs. There usually aren’t any symptoms of cervical cancer in the earliest stages, so the only way a woman will find this cancer early is through regular screening. Take advantage of your own health care visit to talk about when you should have your next cervical cancer screening. Starting at age 21, women should be screened regularly for cervical cancer, having a Pap test every three years through age 65. At age 30, women may choose to lengthen this screening interval by having a Pap test in combination with an HPV (human papillomavirus) test every five years. Women at high risk for cervical cancer may need more frequent screening.

JPS Art Students' Work Showcased At S.S. Admin Building

Contributed Article JPS

Eleven Jamestown Pubic School artists have the unique opportunity to exhibit their artwork at the Social Security Administration Offices in the Hazeltine Plaza. The exhibit was the brainchild of retired Social Security Administration employee Dee Stewart who contacted JPS Visual Arts Chairperson, David Mazzone, about displaying student artwork in their remodeled offices. “This is such a great opportunity to showcase the wonderful artwork created by our students, kindergarten through 12th grades,

to the community,” said Mr. Mazzone. “We are so thrilled that the Social Security Administration Offices contacted us for this opportunity.” All JPS art teachers in the district submitted one piece of student artwork. JPS artists who are a part of this exhibit are: Elementary School: Lilliana Gates-Warrior, Mariah Lorenc and Madison Medina Middle School: Maisy Chang, Elyse Jones and Chance Scott JHS: Abby Anthony, Summer Booth, Nigel Eastman, Austen Johnson and Rebecca Rew JHS art teacher, Kirk Frink, photographed, enlarged and

printed all of the artwork to fit into 16” x 20” frames to keep the look of the exhibit uniform. Mr. Mazzone and Mr. Frink hung the artwork right before Christmas. “It is really nice that the Social Security Administration is hanging our artwork,” said JHS senior Austen Johnson who has a charcoal drawing in the exhibit. “It is exciting to see your work hanging where the community can see it. I'm just glad people like it.” The JPS Art Department is hoping to rotate the student artwork every two to three months and would like to thank the Social Security Administration for displaying student's artwork to the local community.

Star Wars Toy Helps Fredonia Students Teach Computer Science Contributed Article Fredonia

A toy based on R2-D2, the beloved “Star Wars” droid, made a guest appearance at the State University of New York at Fredonia for the Hour of Code, a nationwide program designed to promote interest in computer science and software programming in young students. A discussion of how computer science impacts on daily life, as well as computer coding exercises performed by Forestville Central School students were all part of Fredonia’s inaugural Hour of Code program, hosted by the Department of Computer and Information Sciences at the end of the fall semester. Edward Blue, a December 2014 graduate who majored in Computer Information Systems (CIS) at Fredonia, introduced R2-PC, an Astromech R2D2 interactive droid from toymaker Hasbro that he shrewdly reconfigured into a Windows-based personal computer. “My goal was to take a toy that was considered non-functional and convert it into a fully operational desktop PC for my son (Brendan), who had started to show interest in ‘Star Wars’,” Mr. Blue explained, “and to see if it could be done. It’s a way to look at things differently, to see what things can potentially become.”

Mr. Blue picked up the used R2-D2 on eBay for a mere $22. After more than a year and a half in development, it’s equipped with a “Star Wars”themed Windows 7, 4 GB Crucial RAM 800 MHz, a 160 GB laptop hard drive and HDMI as well as digital/HD audio, Bluetooth and custom LED lighting. When hooked up to a keyboard, monitor and external DVD drive, it’ll perform just like any PC, but in a case from – as they say – a galaxy far, far away. Blue acquired the assorted PC components, also on eBay, for under $100. Interior space for computer components was gained by removing “Artoo’s” original battery component. Circuit boards were relocated to the droid’s dome and enough space was found to include three small cooling fans. Despite the extensive overhaul, Blue was able to retain most of the toy’s original functions, such as turning the head from side to side as well as answering questions, obeying commands and even playing music. “I hope to convert it so Windows can actually control those functions in the future,” he added. “The students would be seeing the software side, the programming and security side of computers,” Blue said of the Hour of Code. “I wanted to show them the hardware side of it – the guts – which is something they do not usually see, and that there can also be an art to the science,” Blue explained. “I was also hoping that they would be able to look

at the world around them and not just see what’s there, but what they could make of it. That’s something I try to instill in my children,” the father of three added. In another session, Collin Preston, a senior CIS major from Rochester, N.Y., gave a brief overview of computer science and how society uses products every day that involve computer science on some level. \One piece of technology that is directly the result of computer science that seems to be a part of every aspect of society today is the mobile phone,” Mr. Preston explained. “Whether it is the apps that are coded for the phones or the phones themselves, individuals utilize these products daily.” Preston wrote a mobile phone app for Fredonia that allows students to request the campus bus through the app rather than calling the bus driver. He’s now engaged in research into better compression of digital medical images, specifically mammograms. “This will help hospitals and doctors to be able to transmit images faster, reduce the amount of hardware storage and improve diagnostic practices,” he said. Preston hopes the Hour of Code will change the views some may have about his field. “The students Continued on page 15

Students were impressed with the quality of instruction by Fredonia faculty. “All the professors at Fredonia were excellent, but I had the opportunity of having more classes with Robert Olson and Stephen Raghunath, and I can say that I really liked their classes,” Gessner said. “They know how to put together the theory and practice, and that is very important in our technology field.” Simply living on campus in a residence hall was a new experience for these students more accustomed to living in houses or apartments near their universities and relying exclusively in public transportation to get around. At Fredonia, they resided in Gregory, Igoe and Eisenhower halls. Another adjustment for students coming from the southern hemisphere was adapting to a much-colder than normal winter in Western New York. But those chilly conditions simply increased their access to popular outdoor activities, such as ice skating and downhill skiing. “We don’t have snow in Brazil, so that was really different. Snow is beautiful, but it’s too cold for me,” said

On the extra-curricular side of campus, the students played soccer at the intramural level, participated in the Relay for Life cancer fundraiser and attended assorted concerts and sporting events. “One activity that I enjoyed was attending some soccer games,” Gessner said. “They made me remember Brazil where, as a kid, we used to play soccer in any corner we could find.” There was also a side trip to Darien Lake theme park in Buffalo to see the American band Linkin Park and more ambitious journeys to New York City, Philadelphia,

Washington, D.C., Las Vegas and Los Angeles. Gessner acknowledged that his view of the United States changed as a result of the time spent living and studying here. “One perception I had in Brazil was that every American was selfish. I completely changed my mind; most of the people here are friendly and always willing to help,” he said. “I would be very happy to have the chance to come to the United States again. I would, maybe, choose a warmer place, but I’d like to return,” added Gessner, who plans to work as a web developer and ultimately earn a master’s degree.

Fredonia Students Reconfigure Star Wars Toy, continued from page 14 had the same misconceptions and questions that I had when I first started learning computer science: science usually comes with the idea of test tubes and chemicals. It is hard to imagine what a science regarding computers is to a young kid,” Preston said. Students learned how to identify computer code and think like a coder, he added, and left the class with a basic understanding of JavaScript, a language used on almost every website. “The students were excited to be dropped right into coding and see instant results such as moving a character around a screen. I also wanted the stu-

dents to see the valuable skill of being able to ‘play around’ with their code and be able to discover that there is no (one) correct way of writing code,” Preston explained. Reneta Barneva, chair of the department, said Fredonia is always eager to demonstrate how exciting it can be to work with computers. Students in a technology course at Forestville also learned how to work with Alice, an innovative software development environment in which 3-D, computeranimated characters can be created using “dragand-drop” techniques. The Hour of Code activities were an idea of de-

partment faculty member Gregory Cole and were organized by his colleagues Derrik Decker, Dr. Michael Scialdone and Dr. Barneva. In addition to his presentation, Blue introduced R2-PC at the department’s annual student expo, and attracted interest from AT&T, one of the event’s sponsors. A non-traditional student with an associate’s degree in interior design from the Art Institute in Pittsburgh, Blue enrolled at Fredonia in the spring of 2013. Though limited to the transfer of 21 credit hours, he was able to complete three-and-a-half years of Fredonia course work in just two years.

ON THE screen

Opera House Cinema Series to Screen Wild

nated for two Academy Awards, Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress, it will be screened on Sat., Feb. 14, and Tues., Feb. 17, at 7:30 p.m. “Wild” is based on best-selling author Cheryl Strayed’s autobio-

graphical novel of the same name. Director Jean-Marc Vallee brings her extraordinary adventure to the screen. After years of reckless behavior, a heroin addiction and the destruction of her marriage, Strayed (Witherspoon) makes a rash decision. Haunted by memories of her mother Bobbi (Oscar nominee Laura Dern), and with absolutely no experience, she sets out to hike more than a thousand miles on the Pacific Crest Trail all on her own. “Wild” powerfully reveals her terrors and pleasures, as she forges ahead on a journey that maddens, strengthens and ultimately heals her. Tina Jordan, in Entertainment Weekly, calls the film “a gut-punching drama.” Andrew O’Hehir, in salon. com, calls it “a moving, engaging and deeply sincere story, set against some of the most magnificent scenery on the planet.” Justin Chang, in Variety, calls it “a ruggedly beautiful and emotionally resonant saga of perseverance and self-discovery.” Lou Lumenick, in the New York Post, says “Witherspoon delivers her best performance since she won the Best Actress Oscar for ‘Walk the Line’ a decade ago.” Rated R for sexual

content, nudity, drug use, and language, “Wild” runs 115 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 ten movie passes is available for $60 at the door or online at www.fredopera.org. For more information, call the Opera House Box Office at 716-679-1891. The Series continues its focus on Oscarnominated films with the Louis Zamperini biopic, “Unbroken,” on Feb. 21 & 24. 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.

High school choirs from throughout Western New York can earn the chance to perform one of the most wildly popular rock ballads in history, onstage, with the band who made the song famous. Staring Monday, February 2, local radio station WKSE-FM Kiss 98.5, in conjunction with Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino and Foreigner, is running a contest in which one local high school choir will be selected to sing the timeless hit “I Want to Know What Love Is” onstage with Foreigner during the band’s February 21 performance at Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino. To enter, choirs must submit an audio clip of them singing any portion of the song via the radio station’s website – www.kiss985.com, where complete contest rules can be found. A winning choir will be selected the following week. Choirs must be high school choirs, and the winning choir may have no more than 25 members participate in the February 21 performance. Foreigner will also donate $500 to the winning school’s choir program. Then, when the lights go on, the choir will join Foreigner onstage for their big moment in front of a capacity crowd inside the Seneca Niagara Events Center. “Imagine the memory one of our local high school choirs will have to share,” said Doni Taube, senior vice president of marketing, Seneca Gaming Corporation, said. “We are thrilled to have Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino be the spot for such an indelible moment in the lives of these young Western New Yorkers.” “Kiss 98.5 has always given our listeners the most exciting concert experiences. To have the opportunity to share the stage with one of the greatest rock bands ever is a once in a lifetime opportunity,” added Janet Snyder, WKSE-Kiss 98.5 morning show host. Released in late 1984, “I Want to Know What Love Is” went on to reach Number One on the charts in the United States, the United Kingdom, CONTiNuED ON PAGE 19

In 2004, the ballad was included on Rolling Stone’s list of the 500 greatest songs of all time. “As far as I’m concerned, music is not only the most powerful form of communication between the peoples of the world, it provides a gateway that opens up a fantastic new dimension of feeling and creativity. Anything we can do to provide our young ones with the tools to express themselves through music is our goal in this partnership,” Foreigner guitarist and founding member Mick Jones said. In addition to the performance by the local choir, sales of a special CD/DVD the night of the performance will go to support The Grammy Foundation, which supports public high school music programs and provides numerous programs and opportunities to students and educators across the country. One of the best-selling bands of all time, Foreigner brings its classic songs to the Seneca Niagara Events Center stage for an 8 p.m. performance. In addition to “I Want to Know What Love Is,” the band’s remarkable number of instantly recognizable Top 40 hits, includes "Feels Like the First Time," "Cold As Ice," "Hot Blooded," "Dirty White Boy," "Waiting For A Girl Like You," "Urgent" and "Say You Will."

How “Professional-Grade” Diy Spray-Lining Beats Any Bed Liner

Knowing TRUTHS on types of truck bed liner to install, here’s painful facts. Drop-In Bed Liners are cheapest, so are low grade DIY’s in retail stores: * The choice of drop-in vs spray-on bed liner is a worn out story. Drop ins are still popular but so were snow chains when 4WD was new. Searching any spray in vs drop in bedliner articles on the net and you’d likely surmise the inherent problems with all drop ins. Professional” Spray in’s cost more with DIY being competitive, but isn’t there a Professional-grade, DIY spray on bed liner? Yup! Price for the “good stuff ”, with good spray gun is higher but if you read between the lines, a high-grade DIY is better than professionally done. AND LESS MONEY! The main issue after prepping the bed is thickness; better stated: “How much coating do I get?” The next issue is polyurethane vs polyurea. What is Polyurea? The Real McCoy: Another factor is that polyurea spray-on liners form a permanent bond with the metal to become water, dirt, and chemical resistant. The number one complaint of a drop-in liner is they warp, vibrate and move around, scratching the bed paint. Gaps allow water, grit and other materials to seep between the liner and the truck creating corrosion always. Polyurea spray-on liners terminate this problem. Plain DIY polyurethanes have less adhesion, ergo they’ll break free from the bed much sooner. Polyurea Spray-Lining cleans by washing only. They remain flexible not brittle even in the coldest of temperatures. In extreme heat and sunlight, they don’t soften, become tacky or fade... Compared to bed paint, drop in liners, polyurethane or epoxy bedliners polyurea has “Tear Strength” measured in thousands of PSI. With reasonable skill, cosmetically, a DIY spray-on bed liner will have that same attractive appearance as the pro’s do… It may be a working truck, but neat bedliner creates better slip-proofi ng & easier cleaning. Now, because a high-quality spray-on liner lasts, it actually adds value to a resale. So low cost DIY’s & drop-in liners often tout price-savings, but in the end cost more in damage to the truck. And, given the overall cost of the truck and maintenance, if a thicker/high quality DIY spray-on was few dollars more, the top-grade, permanent liner pays off. * High-Grade DIY Spray-on Lining won’t be sold in retail stores, mainly due to complex directions and higher cost vs simple, 1-part DIY brands.

After his father died, Pullman agreed to fi nish his father's contracts to move some homes in the path of an Erie Canal widening. Upon completion of that work in 1855, he moved to Chicago, where he entered the business of raising buildings onto higher foundations to avoid flooding.

By 1880 Pullman had acquired land in the Calumet region of Chicago, where he constructed a new factory and a company town. Deeply disturbed by depressing urban conditions, he envisioned his town as a model of efficiency and healthfulness, though it was planned to return a six percent profit. The town cost over $5 million. A serious strike in 1894 marked the beginning of the separation of factory and town. Pullman died in Chicago on Oct. 19, 1897.

VALENTiNE'S DAy 27

Holiday Animals By Katy Wise Contributing Writer

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, which for many parents means that it’s time to start picking out some cute little cards for your child or children to pass out in school. If they aren’t in school yet, maybe it’s time for them to start making some cards for loved ones such as grandparents or close family friends. For the past 4 years, my oldest son and I have done special little valentine’s gifts to give to our loved ones. Even before he was fully aware of what was happening, I was sticking his little toes in paint to put on a card. Don’t worry, he has always loved it. Although there are plenty of prepackaged cards out there, and I’m sure plenty of them are cute, I have to encourage you to make your own. There are so many easy, budget friendly, valentine’s day crafts that can be made to give to others. If you absolutely don’t have time to make your own, there is no judgment here whatsoever. Sometimes there just isn’t extra time. But if you have it, you and your kids could have tons of fun crafting these cards together. Just another side note, I am not trying to put any card companies out of business. This is purely from the standpoint of crafty fun. Here are some ideas for heart animals, and if you wish, you could make an entire zoo to pass out! All you need are some scissors, construction paper, a glue stick, and maybe some googly eyes if you would like. Here are some pictures of the ones that we made, with instructions following. Don’t feel pressured to follow the instructions and pictures to a ‘t.’ Everyone’s craft will look a little different, these are just a basic guide to how many shapes you will need. Keep in mind that the instructions use the words, small, medium and large to determine heart sizes. Your animals do not have to be huge though, this is just to differentiate between the different sizes on each animal.

Butterfly – 2 medium hearts, 4 small hearts, 2 small strips of paper, 2 extra small hearts. Ladybug – 1 large red heart, 2 small black hearts, 4 extra small black hearts. Fish – 1 large heart, 1 medium heart, 2 small hearts. Penguin – 1 large black oval, 1 medium white heart, 3 small orange hearts. Raccoon – 1 large heart, 4 small hearts, 2 slightly larger small hearts, 1 extra small heart. Panda Bear – 1 large white heart, 4 medium black hearts, 2 slightly smaller white hearts, 1 small black heart. Fox – 1 large orange heart, 1 medium white heart, 2 small orange triangles, 2 extra small white triangles. Elephant – 1 large heart, 2 medium hearts, 1 strip of paper, 3 extra small hearts. Lion – 1 large orange heart, 1 medium yellow heart, 1 small black heart, can be cut out or drawn on for nose. All of our heart animals have their eyes and

whiskers drawn on with a marker or sharpie. Once again, if you want to go above and beyond, google eyes would be perfect for this craft. Don’t forget to be creative with this, you can mix and match colors, and maybe you will even create a new animal, just have fun! As always, thank for reading, and Happy Valentine’s Day!

Recreate Romance On Valentine's Day Contributed Article

Romance is an ardent emotional attachment or involvement between people. It is a love idealized for its purity and beauty. Valentine’s Day is a day that speaks of love and romance. It is considered one of the most romantic days of the year. Valentine’s Day Colors Colors are known to have a direct effect in the mood or the atmosphere one wants to create. The colors of choice for a romantic rendezvous are red, blue, white, violet and pink. The color red defines passion and energy. It also evokes energy and conversation and is a great appetite simulator. Blue and white communicate trust and relaxation and thus evokes a feeling of general calm in the atmosphere. Violet, the combination of red and blue is understood to represent a general feeling of comfort and ease. Another color that can be used to create an atmosphere of love and romance is pink. This color is gentle and soothing and stands for a naïve and innocent form of love. Use the appropriate color schemes in your wardrobe and your home decor for a magical Valentine's Day.

from being blindfolded and unaware of where he or she is headed could make for a St. Valentine's Day trip that you both will never forget. 2) Put Your Love In Writing - Purchase a simple one-year journal so that over the next year both you and your partner can jot notes specific to your relationship. If you both make regular efforts to chronicle your thoughts about one another, the end result at this time next year is a treasured keepsake that can be re-read in the future and perhaps passed down for generations. To make the extra effort, purchase a quality pen that is used exclusively to write in the journal. 3) Use Your Heart, Think Of His/Her Head - We have all heard about pillow talk, but what about pillow health? Since we spend approximately one-third of our lives laying down with our heads on a pillow, finding the perfect pillow is a very important aspect of our overall well being. Pillows have a tremendous effect on the quality of our sleep and how well rested we feel. The better our sleep, the better recharged we are to handle our day. In addition, the right pillow can do a lot of good for your partner's body, mind and soul, so while some may consider it a bit goofy, a brand new pillow, a single rose and a greeting card would be a truly thoughtful gift that would be used every single night.

Heart Cookies every time. Depending on how soft the butter is, you may have to refrigerate the dough for an hour or longer. The best consistency for rolling and cutting out cookies is usually after letting the dough cool over night in the refrigerator. The next day, the cookies will be perfect for clean cutouts. 2/3 cup Butter, softened ¾ Cup Granulated sugar 1 tsp. Baking powder Egg 1 Tbsp. Milk 1 tsp. Vanilla 2 Cups All purpose flour Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. You will also need parchment paper to line the cookie sheets with, and hard candies such as cinnamon discs or Jolly Ranchers. Cutout heart shapes from the dough, using two cookie cutters, with the larger one being at least an inch bigger than the smaller. If you want to add some shapes to your cookies, you could also use a large circle and cut a small heart from the middle. The best thing about this recipe is that with every stained glass cookie that you cutout, the smaller heart can be its own small cutout cookies. That’s two cookies for the work of one! Sorry for sounding like an

advertisement, commercial over, I promise. Place the heart cutouts on the cookie sheet and place a piece of heart candy in the middle of the heart. The candy may look as though it’s too big, but once it melts done, it will spread out nicely. The first few that I made, I overestimated the size of the candy and decided to cut them in half, using onehalf for each cookie. This left huge gaps in my cookies where the candy didn’t melt. Bake cookies for approxi-

mately seven minutes or until candy is melted. Allow cookies to cool completely on baking sheet before removing. Decorate to your hearts’ content! The candy adds a nice flavor to the inside of the cookie, but the outer heart will taste pretty plain without frosting. At least half of your decorating is done!

He is NOT a cook but he made an awesome meal … grilled steak, sautéed shrimp in lemon, garlic, and butter, a vegetable, and [he] bought a chocolate fountain that was flowing—surrounded by fresh fruit for dipping.

5. Surprise your spouse with a special getaway together. The man who suggested this made reservations at a bed and breakfast, arranged for childcare, asked for time off from work for himself and his wife, and packed his and her bags. When he asked his wife to go to lunch on Valentine’s Day she was in for a wonderful surprise. “The little bit of effort I put into that weekend paid off huge for weeks to come.” 6. Give your wife a dozen roses. On each stem attach a note for a future date—to do something that she would enjoy (example: Go to the symphony). 7. If possible, go on a date with your spouse to a restaurant that you enjoyed when you first met. After you order your meal, take some time to write down favorite memories from the past year. Then share your lists. 8. Have 11 roses delivered to your wife, and then give her a 12th yourself while reading her a love poem. 9. Fill a large box with helium balloons and special gifts for Valentine’s Day. The woman who suggested this said that her gifts included “new sleep shorts for him and a new nightgown for me, a box of chocolate-covered strawberries and red napkins... some new candles, and a romantic CD. He got the hint. And loved the week-

end.” 10. Create an intimate Valentine’s Day evening at home, without the children. The woman who suggested this idea said that she and her husband “enjoyed planning the menu, shopping for the meal, and ultimately preparing the meal together. Cooking to soft, romantic music can really be a turn on! While dining, the same soft, romantic music is a wonderful moodsetter. Dinner was followed by just the two of us having the whole dance floor, our den, to ourselves. I won’t say what all this led to, but it was a truly romantic night that would not have happened at the local restaurant!” 11. Order food from a take-out restaurant and have a picnic for all the Valentines in your family on your living room floor. The person who suggested this said, “The kids look forward to this every year. When we tried to change it, they wouldn’t allow it ... it has become a tradition. The kids see the value of family and a loving marriage.” 12. Privacy and weather permitting, watch a romantic movie on your deck or patio. 13. If you are separated across the miles, send a care package filled with things that are red. 14. Make a meal with symbols of love. Examples: Write I love you

with string beans, make a tart in the shape of a heart … 15. Hide little heart candies in your spouse’s shoes, coat, car, etc. The woman who suggested this said that she’s been doing this for decades. “Now a couple of the grandkids help me with delight.” 16. Wives, show up at your husband’s office before lunch. Call him from the parking lot and tell him you are going to take him for a lunch rendezvous and that you will be waiting for him whenever he can take a break. Wear a nice outfit and tell him you have something sexy on underneath for when he gets home. Take him to a nice place for lunch and back to the office. Give him some great kisses telling him how glad you are to be married to him, and tell him you will be waiting for him when he gets home. 17. Fill a jar with Valentine candy and notes for your spouse. Examples of notes are: Good for a backrub, 10 kisses, etc. Notes could also express your love and respect: “I am so glad that God blessed my life with such a great husband like you.” Individually roll each note and tie it with a ribbon. 18.

Heart-Shaped... anything Hearty Fruit & Veggies If you have a small enough cookie cutter, you can cut out shapes from the middle of an apple slice, strawberries, cheese, cucumber slices etc. Watermelon, cantaloupe and honeydew melon are all excellent fruits to work with for this kind of snack. Valentine’s Cards While there are plenty of great ideas out there, filled with clever wording and all sorts of themed card ideas, some of the best ones are (once again) the most simple. Yes, we’re being a little repetitive with this theme. Fold a piece of construction paper in half, and cut out a heart shape. You can decorate it with paint, markers, crayons, stickers, glitter, etc. These are the basic crafts that we made way back in kindergarten, but with this kind of basic you can be far more creative than with a premade template.

The point here is to get crafty with your kiddos, not to win a ‘Pinterest’ award. As always, nothing against my favorite website. Photos cut into cut decorative shapes are another nice touch to any card. This will require a little bit of prep time on your part though. I always think about adding photos to various crafts, or even putting them in our

empty picture frames… But something seems to come up before I ever get them printed out. You can also cut out plain heart shapes to tape to your windows and add a little bit of, yes, I’m going to use that word again, simple decoration. If you have slightly older kids, they may be able to cut out their own hearts for the windows.

Recreate Romance, continued from page 28 Aromas That Spell Romance Valentine candles and perfumes can be used to set the mood of Valentine's Romance. In Valentine candles, light floral scents are considered traditionally romantic. An earthy scent like fresh cut grass or the smell of fresh fruits is also deliciously pleasing. Cinnamon, candy and the aroma of freshly baked cookies are some of the other popular scents used in Valentine candles. The candles should be in earthen colors or calm and pleasing shades that inspire romance. Aromatic oils and incense to add romance to the occasion. Some romantic aromas or romantic scents such as sandalwood, jasmine, cinnamon

and anise can be used to make the atmosphere pleasurable and inviting. Flower petals can be added for that final touch. The things to be most kept in mind is that one should not overdo things, the scents should not be overpowering and should be in keeping with the mood and preferences of both you and your Valentine. Music and Romance There is nothing like music to set the mood for a romantic evening. The correct choice of music would make your Valentine feel cherished and special. If it's your first date with that special someone, you would probably want to avoid the classic love songs as you do not want to seem

overpowering in your approach. The music should be in the background playing at a volume that is non-interfering yet audible. The songs or instrumental music should be midtempo, slow and soothing but not so much that they appear a drag. With everything planned for an evening of love and romance, the wrong music can spoil the mood and the outcome. These are some of the essentials that will make your Valentine's Day last in your memories forever. Be thoughtful and creative in your approach yet sensitive to your Valentine’s' desires and you are sure to recreate romance this Valentine’s Day.

Flowers are a beautiful symbol of expression. They are a true representation of all emotions related to human nature. Thus, flowers are an indispensable gifting idea when it comes to any occasion which celebrates our heartfelt emotions. And especially so when the occasion is the one celebrating one of the most alluring feelings among all of human emotions, love. Therefore, it is but natural that flowers have become an integral part of the occasion of Valentine's Day since a long time. Though there are many varieties of flowers like daisies, irises, daffodils that can be gifted on Valentine's Day. But, the rose wins hand down when it comes to popularity and relevance as far as the occasion goes. The word rose has come from the Latin word rosa meaning red, and the flower has been a symbol of love since ancient times. Rose was supposedly created by Chloris, the Greek goddess of flowers. Rose is a blossom with a sensuous fragrance and delicately yet beautifully crafted petals. The color of a rose is a silent communication of the feelings that are being conveyed from the receiver to the giver. A bouquet of flowers is a small cluster or arrangement of flowers. People even gift bouquets of different color blossoms to mark the emotions that dominate an occasion. White - True love, purity of the mind and rever-

ence Pink - Grace, gentle feelings of love Dark Pink - Gratitude

The most popular flower on Valentine's day is the red rose. Reasons for the same are two-fold, one is that the color red represents love, and all lovers gift each other a red rose irrespective of the occasion. And, Valentine's Day is the day of love, so the natural choice has to be a red rose. The second reason is in relation to the mythological significance of red rose, it is the favorite flower of Venus - the Roman Goddess of Love and Beauty and this also makes it the perfect choice to be given to someone you love. This is one flower that has also been popularized as being the symbol of love and romance by poets, writers and philosophers.

25 Ideas for Couples, continued from page 30 Day at home. Have a relaxing morning together on the porch, deck, or patio. Then go to a favorite restaurant for lunch. The man who suggested this idea had also reserved a spa treatment and tanning session for his wife. “While she was doing that,” he says, “I went home and made her a special dinner.” 19. Write a poem for your spouse and frame it.

20. On individual note cards, write why you love your spouse. Insert these cards in a small photo album. The woman who suggested this idea began her album with a honeymoon picture and introductory note card, and ended it with a love note. 21. Surprise your husband when he comes home from work on February 14. Place a welcome sign on the kitchen table and leave

a trail of red foilwrapped Hershey kisses to your bedroom. 22. With roses in hand and permission from your wife’s boss, go to her workplace and read a love poem to her. The woman who shared this idea said, “I am a teacher in an inner city school. Last year my husband dressed in my favorite suit and tie, came to my school with roses in hand. He got permission and

assistance from the office staff to open the speaker system into my classroom and proceeded to read a long and beautiful love poem to me. He then came to my classroom and presented me with the bouquet of roses which I received while wiping my tears of joy and love for this wonderful man whom I have been married to for just under 30 years.” 23. Make a special “14

Reasons I Love You” Valentine’s Day breakfast for your sweetheart. On his/her plate, leave a letter or card listing 14 reasons that you love your spouse. 24. If possible, send a card postmarked in a town that has a romantic name such as Loveland, Colorado; Valentine, Texas; or Romance, Arkansas. 25. After your spouse goes to bed, tape notes

to his car’s steering wheel with reasons that you love him, or decorate the bathroom mirror with lipstick kisses or Valentine’s window clings. Have fun on February 14, and remember: Love is not meant to be given and received on just Valentine’s Day. Instead, it’s to be practiced every single day of the entire year.

Chautauqua Sports Hall Of Fame To Induct 2015 Class This Month

Former NFLer Crist Among Newest CSHOF Class Contributed Article CSHOF

Chuck Crist’s athletic resume speaks for itself. During his career at Salamanca High School, Crist earned virtually every honor imaginable, including the team Most Valuable Player in four sports his senior year. Along the way, he was named the Olean Times Herald Football Player of the Year in 1967, and was an All-Southwestern Conference first-team selection. In his junior and senior seasons, the Warriors posted a 15-1-1 record. In basketball, Crist, who scored 1,004 career points, was the MVP and scoring leader for the Lake Shore League, where he averaged 24.6 points per game his senior year and his team won the 1967-68 Section VI championship over Falconer. Those efforts earned him a berth on the All-Western New York first team. In track and field, Crist was also the best, setting school records in the high jump and the triple jump. His triple jump mark of 45 feet, 11/4 inches still stands. On the baseball diamond, he was a first-team Lake Shore

League selection. Upon his graduation from Salamanca, he signed a letter of intent to attend Penn State University for football and/or basketball. He chose basketball when he and the football coaches couldn’t agree on a position. In those four years on the hardwood, Crist lettered three times and was the team’s MVP in his senior season (1971-72) when the Nittany Lions went 17-8. But his love and for football, combined with his talent, afford him an opportunity to sign with the Giants as a free agent in 1972. He played three seasons in New York, followed by three years with the New Orleans Saints (1975-77) before being traded to the San Francisco 49ers in 1978. During his NFL career, he was named the Defensive MVP for the Saints in 1977 after leading the team in interceptions and tackles. He also had 41/2 sacks. In his final pro season with the Niners, Crist had a teamleading six picks, boosting his career total to 20. After his professional career was over, Crist continued to show his athletic prowess in fast-pitch softball tournaments and on the golf course — he was a six-time

Super Bowl Sunday Is Upon Us club champion at Holiday Valley Golf Club during the 1990s. For all those accomplishments, Crist was named the southwestern New York “Athlete of the Century” by the Olean Times Herald. As far as his vocation was concerned, Crist taught and coached at Cattaraugus High School (1983-85), was an adjunct professor at Alfred University (198591) where he served as the football team’s defensive

coordinator and assistant basketball coach; and held several administrative positions, including high school and, later, elementary school, principal in the Salamanca school district. A 2003 Cattaraugus County Athletic Hall of Fame inductee, Crist, who lives near Greenhurst on Chautauqua Lake, served as coach in a number of youth football and basketball leagues in Bemus Point and Jamestown.

38 Sports Stimson's Incredible Resume Lands Him In CSHOF CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 2015

Dan Stimson, a 2014 inductee of the William & Mary Hall of Fame, has been a fixture with the Tribe track and field and cross-country teams since he joined the program in 1986-87 as the first director of both the men's and women's programs. He spent 25 years as the director, stepping down prior to the 2011-12 season to focus on coaching the throwing athletes. During his tenure as director, W&M won 49 of 94 possible CAA titles (52 percent), including sweeps of all four championships in 2003-04. Tribe athletes earned 64 All-American awards and one spot on the U.S. Olympic Team during that 25-year span. In the throws, eight of the 12 events (between men and women) have had the school records reset by Stimson athletes, many multiple times. Perhaps his greatest successes have come in the hammer, weight throw, and javelin, events that are not sponsored by a majority of high school federations (meaning athletes must start learning them in college). Since the CAA began sponsoring track and field in 1990, W&M athletes have won 31 conference titles in the hammer and the javelin, including 16 of 24 alltime golds in the men's javelin. In fact, the Tribe's dominance of this event is so complete that a W&M male has won the javelin event in 12 of the 14 CAA Championships contested since 2000. Stimson's record is also impressive in mentoring coaches. The last three men's coaches all went on to big-time coaching or director jobs after leaving W&M — Walt Drenth to Arizona State and then Michigan State, Andrew Gerard to Stanford (win-

ning an NCAA title) and then to George Mason, and Alex Gibby to Michigan. Including Stimson's own two Coach of the Year awards, a Tribe coach has won 48 CAA honors all-time. Stimson's coaching career began at the University of Tennessee in 1971-72 where he was the throwing coach for Bill Skinner and Danny Martin (among others). A post-grad, Skinner ranked third in the world that year in the javelin with a throw of 291 feet. Martin was a freshman for the Volunteers who had thrown 218 feet in the javelin in high school. In just one year with Stimson's coaching, Martin improved his range to 231 feet. The next nine years came at Miami (Ohio), where Stimson had his first NCAA qualifier in Rich Elkins. Elkins had thrown the javelin a modest 195 feet in high school, which he improved to 249

Geoff Lawrence didn't have a chance to throw either the discus or the hammer in high school in Indiana, but graduated from Miami with personal-best of 175 feet in the discus. 181 feet in the hammer; and 57-7 in the shot put. David Zipko was also a throwing triple-threat, throwing 54 feet in the shot put, 164 feet in the discus, and 185 feet in the hammer. After most of a decade with the Redhawks, Stimson went back to Tennessee, this time as the head assistant coach. Four of his throwers earned All-American honors, including three multipleawardees. Pat Reid was a 58-8 shot-putter in high school who improved to 63-10 in college, even with the four-pound size increase in the shot. Reid was a two-time Penn Relay's champion and twice an All-American in the shot put, placing as high as sixth. Jeff Field improved in the javelin from 210 feet to 256 feet while at Tennessee, and J.R. Quinn went from 190 feet to 195-8 in the discus. Both also earned two All-American honors in their events. Scott Lundy was already a 61-foot shot-putter in high school, but improved to 61-6 in college to earn All-American honors. Stimson graduated with honors from Ohio University in 1971 and holds a master's degree from Miami (Ohio). As an undergraduate, he was the All-Ohio and Central Collegiate shot put champion, as well as a two-time MAC shot put champion. He concluded his athletic career by competing in both the NCAA and AAU national championships in the shot put. Stimson and his wife Rosemary, also a Falconer native, have two children, son Clare, and daughter Krista.

Association Coach of the Year. He was also instrumental in the formation and promotion of Kids Wrestling in Falconer with wrestling camps, tournaments, clinics and officiating. In addition to his wrestling successes, Davenport was also a tremendous football and youth baseball coach. On the gridiron, he was best known as a varsity assistant/defensive coordinator for head coach Bill Race (1981-95), served as Falconer’s head coach (1996-99) and Cassadaga Valley’s assistant coach (2001-2009).

CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 2015

Super Bowl Sunday Is upon us, continued from page 34 cause after this game, we’re not going to get meaningful NFL games until September. Personally, I feel jilted by my own team. You can call it a great comeback by the Seahawks last week, but as a Packers fan, I look at it as nothing short of a total choke job. There were no fewer than six plays that the Packers totally blew. They should be playing this Sunday. They have no one to blame but themselves (Personally I blame Brandon Bostick. Just catch the onside kick, dude.). Of course, the entire NFL fan base should feel jilted by the New England Patriots. All we’ve gotten for the past two weeks is talk of the deflated footballs in the Patriots’ win over the Colts in the AFC Championship game. Instead of two weeks of hype for the game, we can’t stop hearing about equipment. Speaking of which, can we please stop putting “-gate” at the end of every little rules violation in sports. “Deflategate” is neither original nor clever. I’m in the extreme minority here, but frankly I don’t care about the deflated balls. Every team is cheating. I guarantee it. Cynical? Yeah, probably, but if you’re not cheating, you’re not trying. Professional sports is for our entertainment. If slightly deflated balls will make for more exciting deep passing plays and fewer fumbles, I’m all for it. And let’s not forget just how big of a cheating history the Seahawks have. According to an ESPN article with research conducted using STATS PASS, the Seahawks lead the NFL in PED-related suspensions

since Pete Carroll took over as head coach in 2010. So yeah, the single biggest game in American sports will be between a team of cheaters and…another team of cheaters. Huzzah! But again, I’m on the side that says sports are for entertainment. I never have money riding on games. I am a die-hard and lifelong fan of both the Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Pirates, but I’m not naive to think that neither of those teams ever bends the rules in their respective sports. I watch sports because I want to be entertained. It’s that simple. Anyway, back to the big game. There are a number of reasons to believe in each team. Both New England and Seattle have a recent history of success. There’s not a single person in America that’s surprised that either team is where they are. It was a popular preseason Super Bowl pick for a number of “experts” and for good reason. So why will New England win? The Patriots have Rob Gronkowski. He’s a game breaker pure and simple. You might as well pencil him in for 100 yards and a touchdown right now. That’s about his floor. Yes, the Seahawks have a great secondary, but Gronk is matchup-proof. He’s just too big, too fast and too talented. New England also has one of the best coaches in NFL history. Bill Belichick gets his fair share of jabs because of his dubious techniques and his expressionless interviews, but the guy wins. A lot. He’s been the brains

behind an awful lot of great teams. The guy knows football. A often forgotten piece of New England’s success is nose tackle Vince Wilfork. The massive man in the middle of the Patriots defense always accounts for two blockers and still makes plays in the opponent’s backfield. Against a Seattle team that obviously needs to run the ball to be successful, Wilfork could be a huge key in this game. History is also on New England’s side. It’s just really hard to win back-to-back Super Bowls. Now why will Seattle win? Seattle has nearly the exact same team (actually, it’s arguably better) as last year’s Super Bowl championship team. They’re young. They’re obviously still hungry. The defense is obviously the key to this team. The only thing that this unit even remotely struggles with is a power running game. New England doesn’t really have a ground-and-pound

offense. They’re more of a gun-slinging offense. That plays right into Seattle’s hand. We all saw what happened to the Broncos in last year’s Super Bowl. On offense, the Seahawks run the ball better than any team in the NFL. Between Marshawn Lynch and Russell Wilson, it’s a tough unit to stop. On that same note, Russell Wilson’s read-option is unlike anything the Patriots are used to. Take a look at the best quarterbacks in the AFC: Ben Roethlisberger, Andrew Luck, Peyton Manning, Joe Flacco, Phillip Rivers. Hugely talented passers, but none of these guys run the read option. Will New England be able to successfully game plan for that? Both of these teams have played an awful lot of games over the past couple of years. When a team goes deep into the playoffs year after year, it puts a lot of miles on the players. Guys like Marshawn Lynch have taken a ton of hits this season but hasn’t shown any signs of slowing down. The

fact that both teams have done this just proves both mental and physical toughness on both sides of the ball. So which team wins? I’m not one to start conspiracy theories, but I just don’t envision a situation in which the NFL allows the Patriots to win this game. It would reflect way too poorly on the league if its Super Bowl champion was a proven cheater (very recent cheater, that is). I fully expect some bogus calls followed by zero replays. Phantom holding calls after big plays by the Patriots will be the norm in this game, I’m afraid. Expect at least one pass interference call against New England with Seattle facing a third-and-long (again, with no television replays). If it’s not obvious, I’m picking the Seahawks even though I’ll actually be pulling for the Patriots (don’t beat me up, Bills fans). Stefan Gestwicki is the sports editor of the Chautauqua Star.

The theme is techBut one of the games nically that players that I bought for myself are authors creating and have been playwords for their books.

Whatever. It’s just a very good, interesting, unique game. MECHANICS One of my favorite gaming genres is deck building. If you’re unfamiliar with games like Dominion, Legendary: A Marvel Deckbuilding Game, Thunderstone, etc., it’s the type of game in which every player receives an identical starting deck. These decks are generally as bland as can be. But throughout the game, players add cards from a central supply to those decks to beef them up, so to speak. Paperback is one of those games. But in a genre in which games can blend into the crowd (and there are LOTS of these games at this point), Paperback really stands alone. That’s because it’s a game in which players are creating words with their cards to score points to buy cards. I’ll explain. Each player’s starting deck consists of the letters S, L, R, T and N as well as five wild cards that can be used as any letter. These decks are shuffled and each player draws five cards. In the beginning, you’re going to see a lot of the same words: “learns” is comically prominent is my group’s games. But each letter is worth

points. After a word is made, that player can use the points earned to purchase cards from various stacks in the middle of the table. Some of those cards are vowels. Others are combination cards such as “ER” or “NT”. The cards used in the word, any cards remaining in the player’s hand as well as any purchased cards are added to the player’s discard pile. When they run out of cards, players shuffle their discard piles to make a new draw deck, essentially adding in new cards to the mix. It’s a wonderful mechanic and one that I thoroughly enjoy with almost any theme. This theme of word making is simply divine. Personally, I’ve always thought Scrabble was more work than fun. You’re so limited by the board that it’s frustrating when you’re hindered by simple real

estate. And sometimes you just draw nothing but vowels, or vice versa. Perhaps the aspect of Paperback that really makes the game is the special powers on the cards/letters. Some of the more expensive letters have special abilities when they’re used. Those powers include drawing more cards on the following turn, doubling the value of an adjacent card, making an adjacent card wild, and a whole bunch of other game-changing powers. Trying to find that balance between buying letter cards and buying victory point cards is really the key to winning the game. Truthfully, this isn’t the kind of game that you need to win (or even do well) to have a good time. It’s just rewarding when you can create a solid word. When I play with my group or

family, we help each other make words if a person is struggling. The game lends itself a bit to analysis paralysis, but it’s nothing that can’t be handled for the most part. TO OWN OR NOT TO OWN It’s not even a question; buy this game. It’s not available through traditional markets, but it’s very easy to order any number of copies of this game from paperbackgame.com. It’s not an expensive game by any means and the cards are a very high quality. I’ll probably sleeve mine simply due to the sheer amount of shuffling required, but it’s not a necessity. This game is going on my list of games to buy as presents for people that aren’t hardcore board gamers, but it’s deep enough that I will play it any time someone wants to.

46 Sports What We Learned At The Australian Open By Dennis Passa AP Sports Writer

The opening Grand Slam tournament of the year ended Sunday with Novak Djokovic winning his fifth Australian Open title and denying Andy Murray his first. Outside of a few days when the temperatures topped 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit) in the first week, the searing hot temperatures that can often affect play at the tournament were not an issue this year. It was also two weeks of record attendance - 703,899, breaking the previous mark of 686,006 in 2012 - due in part to a new roof on Margaret Court Arena, giving Melbourne Park three stadiums with retractable roofs. Here are some things we learned from the 103rd edition of the Australian Open: --TOUGH AT THE TOP: Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams extended their impressive records in finals at

No. 2-ranked Sharapova was gracious in defeat. ''I haven't beaten her in a long time but I love every time I step on the court with her,'' said Sharapova, who trails 17-2 in career headto-heads and hasn't beaten Williams since 2004. ''I've had some of the best memories of my career on this court and also some of my toughest losses, but that's the life of a tennis player.'' Her best memory of any match against Williams was her first major - Wimbledon in 2004 when she beat the American in straight sets in only their second career meeting. --KEYS AND THE AMER-

Koepka Takes Long, Hard Road To PGA Tour Title By Doug Ferguson AP Sports Writer

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — For the longest time, Brooks Koepka was known primarily for the stamps in his passport. His peers knew better. As he began his first year as a PGA Tour member in the Frys.com Open last October, players would stop when they saw Koepka and watch him walk to the putting green or driving range. The consensus? This guy is going to be good. More than the words of other players, Koepka now has the trophies to back it up. He won the Turkish Airlines Open last November during the final stretch of the Race to Dubai on the European Tour. Against an even stronger field in the Phoenix Open, the 24-year-old Floridian went 64-66 on the weekend and played his last 47 holes without a bogey. Koepka (pronounced KEP'kuh) was among five players tied for the lead in the final hour, but only after rolling in a 50-foot eagle putt from the fringe on the 15th. He seized control when his 3-wood on the 322-yard 17th hole rolled over the green and stopped a foot from the water. One hole away from his first PGA Tour victory, on a closing hole at the TPC Scottsdale framed by bunkers, he blasted his drive 331 yards down the middle.

It was a strong performance, and it looks even better considering Koepka now has won twice in his last four starts, rose to No. 19 in the world and put his name into the conversation for a U.S. team at the Presidents Cup that is getting younger by the week. Golf is going through an undeniable generation shift, led by Rory McIlroy, who won in Dubai on Sunday to expand his growing gap in the world ranking. Jordan Spieth, the 21-year-old Texan, is No. 9 in the world. Patrick Reed, 24, won his fourth PGA Tour event at the start of the year. Koepka was never mentioned in that group when he turned pro because he didn't have their credentials. He was the guy who pursued his career in golf's remote outposts — Kazakhstan and Kenya, Norway and the Czech Republic. He had a decorated career at Florida State, though he never won a tournament until his senior year (and won three times) and played in the NCAA Championship only twice, never finishing higher than a tie for 18th. Spieth was a Sunday feature at the Byron Nelson Championship when he was 16, joined Tiger Woods as the only multiple winners of the U.S. Junior Amateur, played on an NCAA title team at Texas and in the Walker Cup. Reed helped Augusta State to a pair of NCAA titles and reached the semifinals of

the U.S. Amateur. Koepka won a Challenge Tour event — the equivalent of the Web.com Tour in Europe — in Spain, and then tried his hand at Q-school for a PGA Tour card. He failed to get out of the second stage, missing by two shots in Texas. He wasn't alone. He tied that week with Spieth. And that's when their paths went in different directions. Spieth chose sponsor exemptions, and Monday qualifying if needed, on the Web.com Tour. He got a break by tying for second in the Puerto Rico Open on the PGA Tour after getting a sponsor's exemption. Then came a rocket rise — tour

status in May, a victory in July and a spot on the Presidents Cup team in October. Koepka headed for the airport. He had status on the Challenge Tour from his win at the Catalunya Challenge, and he won in Italy in May. He followed with victories in Spain and Scotland to earn an instant promotion to the European Tour, each step bringing higher status. And he already had more wins than he did in college. "Whether it be success or failure, I have learned a lot," Koepka said. "I think I won maybe two, three times in college. But it's funny. Looking back, I have won on the Challenge Tour, one in

Europe and one here now. It's been special. But my drive, I think, is what it is. I want to be the best player in the world. I'm not there yet, and I know it's going to take time. But I want to get to that point." And he runs in good circles. His roommate in Florida and frequent travel companion on the global road of the European Tour was former U.S. Amateur champion Peter Uihlein, who tied for 13th in Dubai. He also plays practice rounds with McIlroy, whom he knows from Europe and living in South Florida, though they rarely see each other at home.

Browns Quarterback Manziel Enters Treatment Facility By Tom Withers AP Sports Writer

Johnny Manziel has sought help to change his off-field lifestyle. Following a rough rookie season in the NFL, Manziel has entered a treatment program for unspecified reasons, an adviser for the Browns quarterback said in a statement released by the team on Monday. ''Johnny knows there are areas he needs to improve on to help him be a better family member, friend and teammate, so he decided to take this step in his life during the offseason,'' Manziel adviser Brad Beckworth said. Beckworth said the former Heisman Trophy winner entered the unnamed facility last week. He said Manziel's family is asking for privacy until he rejoins the team. Beckworth's statement did not indicate reasons for Manziel needing treatment. However, the 22-year-old QB's penchant for partying followed him from college into the pros and Manziel's nightlife has been wellchronicled by both social and mainstream media. The location of the facility where Manziel is staying is not immediately known. Browns general manager Ray Farmer said in a statement that the team fully supports Manziel and respects his initiative in entering treatment. The team will respect Manziel's privacy during treatment, he said. ''Our players' health and well-being will always be of the utmost importance to the Cleveland Browns,''

Farmer said. ''We continually strive to create a supportive environment and provide the appropriate resources, with our foremost focus being on the individual and not just the football player.'' Citing privacy laws, a Browns spokesman declined to provide any further information about Manziel's situation. Browns wide receiver Andrew Hawkins offered his support to Manziel on Twitter. ''Much love and support to my brother Johnny,'' Hawkins wrote. ''Proud of him, big step. Football is secondary. God Bless!'' NBA superstar LeBron James, who is both a friend and business partner of Manziel's, also expressed his support for the young QB. ''I haven't talked to him,'' James said after the Cavaliers won their 11th straight game. ''As a friend I support him. I want him to get better. As friends and family we all believe in him and this is a good step if this is the route he's going to take.'' Manziel, who won the Heisman as a freshman at Texas A&M where his playmaking skills earned him his ''Johnny Football'' nickname, has faced questions for several years about his active nightlife. After he was drafted in May by the Browns in the first round, Manziel was repeatedly photographed drinking alcohol during weekend trips to Las Vegas. A photograph of Manziel floating on an inflatable swan raft swigging a bottle of champagne went viral.

ing like a player capable of ending Cleveland's long search to find a franchise quarterback. The next week at Carolina, Manziel injured his hamstring on a running play before halftime and was replaced by Hoyer. Manziel was then fined by the Browns for missing a medical treatment before the season finale at Baltimore. Manziel promised he would change following the season, apologizing to Cleveland's fans and his teammates for being a distraction. But hours after apologizing, he was photographed in Miami Beach and over the next few days there were photos of him on Instagram in a Houston nightclub and In this Sunday, Dec. 14, 2014, file photo, Cleveland Browns in Aspen, Colorado. quarterback Johnny Manziel scrambles against the Cincinnati The Browns have made it Bengals during an NFL football game, in Cleveland.

Elliot Headlines Five Drivers In NASCAR HOF Class By Jenna Fryer AP Auto Racing Wrtier

Bill Elliott headlined the sixth class of inductees into NASCAR's Hall of Fame, a group that included three champions, the first AfricanAmerican winner and a driver with movie star looks. ''Awesome Bill From Dawsonville'' was NASCAR's 1988 champion, a 44-race winner and the first driver to win the Winston Million bonus in 1985 for winning three NASCAR crown jewel races. A 16-time winner of NASCAR's most popular driver award, Elliott won two Daytona 500s and the Southern 500 three times. His induction came one day after his 19-year-old son, Chase, was named by Hendrick Motorsports as the driver who will replace fourtime champion Jeff Gordon in the iconic No. 24. Introduced by Kasey Kahne, who replaced Elliott in the No. 9 in 2004, and Elliott was inducted by former car owner Ray Evernham. ''Thinking about it and dreaming about it and listening to guys on the radio ... it's just incredible,'' Elliott said. ''I dreamed of doing this.'' The sixth class was the first to be comprised of five drivers. First to be inducted Friday night was Fred Lorenzen, one of NASCAR's first superstars. Nicknamed ''Golden Boy'' and ''Fearless Freddie,'' the Elmhurst, Illinois, native was one of NASCAR's first stars to hail from outside the sport's Southern roots. He was introduced by Indiana native and threetime NASCAR champion Tony Stewart, who made note of Lorenzen's famous look. ''He was a teen idol with movie star looks, so clearly we have a lot in common,'' Stewart said. Lorenzen had 26 wins in just 158 starts in a part-time career that spanned 1956-1972. Now in a wheelchair, he sat on the stage as his son, Chris, gave his acceptance speech. ''Dad had the gift of charisma, something money just can't buy,'' Chris Lorenzen said. ''People drove from all over to see Dad, 'Fast Freddie.' Dad treated strangers just as he treated his own family.'' He was followed by Wendell Scott, the first African-American driver to be elected to the Hall. Scott, who died in 1990, competed in NASCAR's top series from 196173. He won his only race, at Speedway Park in Jacksonville, Florida, in 1963, taking the checkered flag in the 100-mile feature. Scott started 495 Sprint Cup events and had a 147 top 10 finishes. Scott, the first African-American driver to race full-time in NASCAR's top series, won more than 100 races at local tracks before making the difficult step to NASCAR. He was introduced by Gordon, who announced last week this season will be his last. ''His is a story of perseverance and determination in the face of unimaginable obstacles,'' Gordon said. ''He fought through any and all hardships, and tonight he reaches NASCAR's pinnacle.''

Scott was represented by his sons, Wendell Scott Jr., and Franklin. ''I would like to thank NASCAR for making this night possible, and their effort to improve diversity in NASCAR racing,'' Franklin Scott said. ''Wendell Scott fulfilled his destiny, and now we can proudly say that he is the first African-American inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame. We must carry his legacy to even greater heights.'' Reigning Sprint Cup champion Kevin Harvick introduced the third inductee, Rex White. White, like Harvick, drove the No. 4. He raced from 1956-64, winning 28 times in 233 events including six races during his championship season in 1960. White, a short-track specialist, finished among the top-five in nearly half his starts. Only two of his wins came on tracks longer than a mile in length. White was to be inducted by former pit crew member James Hylton, but he began his speech before Hylton made it to the podium. He then scrambled the pages to his speech and told the audience ''don't leave,'' as he tried to organize them. Hylton then tried to help him put the pages in order, and White looked at him and said ''James, you were the one supposed to be doing this, anyway.'' Two-time champion Joe Weatherly was fourth to be inducted, and was introduced by 2012 champion Brad Keselowski. Weatherly, who died after a crash at Riverside in 1964, won 25 races and back-to-back championships in 1962 and 1963. It was the only two years Weatherly competed full-time at NASCAR's top level. He was accepted into the Hall by Joy Barbee, his youngest niece.

I think it's important because when you're out like that, you lose something.

Bird said doctors initially told him that it would take seven months for the leg bone to fully heal. If that timeline still holds, George could conceivably be ready for a return from the Aug. 1 injury sometime next month. Being cleared may not be enough. Coach Frank Vogel acknowledged that getting into game shape and getting back in sync with his teammates could add another month or two to the rehab process, possibly delaying George's return to next season - as was the expectation all along. George is expected to talk with reporters on Thursday, his first formal news conference since late November. He has steadily increased his activity during practices, though Vogel declined to say what exactly George has been doing. He also has been traveling with his teammates on some road trips.

Armstrong won the Tour de France every year from 1999 to 2005. Those titles were stripped after a massive report by the U.S. AntiDoping Agency detailed the use of performance enhancing drugs by Armstrong and his U.S. Postal Service teammates.

Authorities say the disgraced cyclist hit two parked cars after a night of partying in Aspen but agreed to let his girlfriend take the blame to avoid national attention. Police say they cited Armstrong after the Dec. 28, 2014, hit-and-run but only after his girlfriend, Anna Hansen, admitted to lying for him. (AP Photo/David Zalubowski, File)

Cowart, Ivey Lead Best Uncommitted Recruits By Ralph D. Russo AP College Football Writer

Spend a few hours on national signing day watching teenagers pick hats in their high school gymnasiums and you might find it hard to believe that the vast majority of top football prospects have long ago made their choice of colleges. Those who do hold out tend to get a lot of attention - especially when they are among the best players in country. This year, several five-star prospects are set to announce where they will attend school on signing day. A look at the players expected to produce the most drama and excitement on Wednesday, when college football teams re-stock their shelves with fresh talent. 1) Byron Cowart, LB, 6-foot-4, 250 pounds,

Armwood (Florida) High School. The No. 1 player on the board according to both Rivals and ESPN, he seemed destined for Florida until the Gators fired coach Will Muschamp. When Muschamp landed the defensive coordinator job at Auburn, Cowart turned his attention to the Tigers. Cowart reportedly tore up the practices for the Under Armour All-America Game and has the look of a player who could turn into a menace of a pass rusher. ''This kid really loves to play the game and I think that sometimes can be an overlooked trait in the evaluation process,'' ESPN national recruiting director Tom Luginbill said. ''Some guys, they're living for it. I think he's that type of guy. There's a tremendous amount of drive and passion for the game. I don't think it's necessarily something that can be taught.'' 2) Martez Ivey, OT, 6-5 1/2, 275 pounds, Apopka (Fla.) High School. Another player choosing

between Auburn and Florida, though he was considering Auburn even before Muschamp made the move. An athletic and well-rounded lineman, Ivey has room to grow and gain weight. The toprated offensive lineman in this class. 3) Iman Marshall, CB, 6-1, 190, Long Beach (California) Poly. Scouts love tall corners. Marshall is a 6-1 and 190 pounds, fast and physical. Jim Harbaugh and Michigan are making a late charge to pull him away from Southern California and UCLA. Florida, LSU and Notre Dame also will be hoping Marshall picks them. 4) CeCe Jefferson, DE, 6-2, 250, Baker County (Florida) Senior. Despite being a little short for an elite pass rusher, Jefferson displays a variety of moves and strong hands. Another five-star with Florida and Auburn on his list, but the analysts are leaning more toward an Alabama or Mississippi decision for him. Florida State and LSU also in the mix.

Sabres End Long Drought With 3-2 Win Over Montreal Contributed Article Associated Press

The long drought is over for the struggling Sabres. Buffalo scored three times in the first period and Jonas Enroth made 32 saves in a 3-2 victory over the Montreal Canadiens that ended a franchise-record, 14-game losing streak Tuesday night. Players raised their arms in triumph as they gathered around Enroth after the team's first victory since a shootout win Dec. 27 against the New York Islanders. It was Buffalo's first victory in regulation in 21 games since beating Calgary 4-3 on Dec. 11. ''I hope it allows us to relax a bit,'' Sabres defenseman Josh Gorges said. ''Just go out and play. Not think about all the bad things that could happen. Just go out there and play the game, have some fun doing it and, hopefully, get some confidence back.'' Former Canadiens captain

Brian Gionta, who signed with Buffalo last summer, got the game-winner late in a three-goal first period for the Sabres (15-33-3), who remain last overall in the NHL. Drew Stafford and Matt Moulson also scored. Brandon Prust and David Desharnais had the goals for the Canadiens (32-15-3), who have lost two in a row at home. Montreal had a 34-18 shots advantage. In Buffalo's postgame dressing room, the mood was relief. ''It's been a frustrating couple of weeks, no doubt,'' Gorges said. ''We've had games where we play well in spurts, but then we'd always find a way to beat ourselves. ''We had mental lapses that cost us. And when you get in those situations you become a bit of a fragile team, especially as young as we are. Any time adversity hit during a game we seemed to crumble. So to get this win takes a bit of weight off us.''

The Sabres won three of four meetings and took seven of eight points from Montreal this season. ''For some reason we played well against them this year,'' Gionta said. ''But at this point, it was more about getting the win and getting on the right track. It definitely feels good.'' The Sabres were three losses short of the NHL record for consecutive defeats set by the 1974-75 Washington Capitals and 1992-93 San Jose Sharks. The Canadiens, coming off a 3-2 loss to Arizona, have only six goals in their last four games, two of which were 1-0 wins thanks to shutouts by Carey Price. ''One game, one line is hot and the next game, it's another line, but we'd like to score more goals,'' center Lars Eller said. ''The bottom line is that most of the time, we've found ways to win games even if we haven't been scoring a lot. ''That's a good thing, but

when you lose, it stands out more.'' The game was only 5:21 old when Stafford was left alone in front and scored on his second whack at the puck to put Buffalo ahead. It ended Price's shutout streak at 158 minutes, 24 seconds. Prust came out of the penalty box, knocked down Tyler Myers and then finished a 2-on-1 with Desharnais to tie it at 8:15. But Moulson was alone in front to spin and beat Price between the pads at 14:53, and Gionta's pass went in off defenseman Nathan Beaulieu's skate at 19:19. Desharnais was right on the doorstep to bang in Dale Weise's feed 4:20 into the third period.

''We weren't alert on our defensive assignments at the start,'' Montreal coach Michel Therrien said. ''It wasn't a lack of effort, it was a lack of focus.'' The Sabres ended a fourgame road trip and start a five-game homestand Thursday against St. Louis. The Canadiens next play at home Saturday against New Jersey. NOTES: Price allowed more than two goals for the first time since Jan. 6. Before that, it was Dec. 6. ... Jacob de la Rose made his NHL debut for Montreal and took a regular shift on the third line.
