Spring Elections Approaching 2015 village Elections to be held on March 18
Star Special Feature Board of Elections
Due to St. Patrick’s Day, March village elections will happen this year on Wednesday March 18 and there will be ballots to cast for voters in seven Chautauqua County villages. In a New York State election law quirk, village elections are not allowed to fall on St. Patrick’s Day. Since 1998, according to the bill’s original sponsors, New York’s village elections are never to be on St. Patrick’s Day and are to take place a day later to “honor Irish heritage.” The only time since the bill’s passage that the collision of democracy and Irish celebration has occurred was 2009. In another local 2015 oddity, the 308 registered voters in the village of Panama will have an election for one village trustee, but no name will be listed on the ballot. “Panama’s Mayor Charles Loveland called and said he couldn’t raise any interest for the elective position,” said Election Commissioner Brian Abram. “Hopefully someone’s name, who wants to take the job, will be written in by voters on Election Day. It’s a small village and there are just two trustees and a mayor.” According to Abram and
Election Commissioner Norman P. Green, the only contested election is happening in the village of Westfield, where incumbent Mayor Michael Vandevelde will be running on the Democratic and Westfield Now lines. He is being opposed for re-election by Richard C. Raynor on the Republican line. Also, in a vote for any two for village trustee, the choices are incumbent Robert Cochran, Democratic and Westfield Now; Alan Holbrook, Democratic, Republican and Westfield Now; and David Carr, Republican. The candidates in five other villages are running unopposed: Bemus Point Republicans Mayor Bryan Dahlberg, village trustees Margaret Richardson and Chris Wright. Cassadaga Progressive Party village trustee candidates Joshua Slaven and Amanda Kalfas Sinclairville Helping Hands Party mayor candidate Tami Berg and vote for any two trustee candidates John Embury on the Helping Hands Party and Patricia France on the Restoration Party. Cherry Creek Republican trustees John F. Lukaszewski and Bruce W. Hendricks

thought occurred to me that, as I was slightly concerned about the temperature in my house, somewhere else there was a dad standing some 30 feet off the ground, in 20 degrees below zero, at 5 in the morning, working tirelessly to get my power restored to me. Thank you, Lineman. About an hour later, our power popped back on, and most were none-the-wiser to the brief outage. As I showered and got ready for work, I started my truck and headed out to tackle that Monday with victory. The cover of snow on my truck was the only evidence that it had snowed the night before. Pulling onto the road, it was mostly bare, and I didn’t even have to go into fourwheel-drive to make it up our hill. Somewhere, a plow driver had been out likely the whole night while his family slept at home. He drove through snow, ice,
and cold, on the same streets over and over again, to make sure that I could safely make it to work that morning. Thank you, Plow driver. It was a Monday that day, but there was hardly any traffic on the road because it was President’s Day. The big yellow busses that would normally dot the streets were absent, the drivers having earned a well-deserved day off. Have been the son of one, I knew the ordeal of getting up at 4:30 a.m. on a school day to make sure that their bus would even start if the temperature was below 20 degrees. Then the painfully long warmup of the heaters inside the bus. That, combined with the fact that a large door is opening every few minutes and letting out any semblance of heat, meant that winter was more than just ‘cold’ for those drivers. But, like clockwork, bus drivers get up, get ready, get to work, wait
for that warm-up, and pick up the kids who are often waiting inside because it’s too cold to stand by the road. So thank you, Bus driver. Obviously, there are so many blue-collar (and some white-collar) hard working men and women who give their all so that life can go on like normal for us Western New Yorkers in the winter. Don't feel slighted if I didn't mention you, these are just the three that came to mind. The grass stops growing, the trees freeze up, but we all still have to work and live. And these people do their all to help make that happen. Thank the workers sometime. A smile, a wave. Buy them a cup of coffee. The littlest bit of appreciation can work wonders. Thanks, to the hardworking of Chautauqua County.

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

EmCare is also heavily focused on the utilization of LEAN processes to help improve patient flow, patient and public perception, and financial improvement. The organization also partnered with Studer Group, nationally renowned healthcare consultants, to help their hospital clients achieve operational excellence. Officials at TLC report that the decision to partner with EmCare was made after receiving proposals from several other regional and national emergency services providers. Among their reasons for
the selection of EmCare over other options were the organization’s commitment to quality improvement, partnership with Studer Group, advanced reporting system, and large support network. TLC also anticipates that the move will benefit the organization through significantly decreased costs, decreased wait

The Weekly Word
rejoicing in our redemption There is not a doubt in your mind you will return home with every item you need. The food is all packaged, ready to go, and you have the money in your pocket. It would be foolish to wonder about such a thing. But that is exactly what Christians are doing when they pray for needs in their life. They go to God wondering if they will actually obtain what they are asking for. It's foolish to go to God that way. Rev. Timothy Stahlman Why? Because the Bible Family Church Jamestown says in 2 Peter 1:3 that God fcjamestown.org has "GIVEN to us ALL THINGS pertaining to LIFE and godliness." Notice Praying with Confidence that it is past tense. God has When you go to the grocery already made available to us store are you confident that everything we need in life. you will come home with But when a Christian comes everything on your list? to God without the confi-
dence to believe that God delights in giving them their petitions they disqualify their faith. They are actually moving into doubt and unbelief and do not even realize it. Many Christians bow their knees with a mentality that God is against them. They have a "me vs. God" attitude and they wrestle with God to cooperate with their situation. Have we soon forgotten Romans 8:31-32, "...if God be for us then who can be against us? He that spared not His own Son but delivered Him up for us all, how will He not with Him also freely give us EVERYTHING ELSE?" God isn't against you. He isn't withholding the solution to your problem; you
are. How can that be? When you approach God without the confidence to know that He desires to give you everything, you break God's ability to bless you. Hebrews 11:6 says, "...he that comes to God MUST believe that He is AND that He is a REWARDER of them that diligently seek Him." Notice that you are REQUIRED to come to God and confess His desire to reward you. If someone buys you a birthday cake and a present then they are probably willing to sing happy birthday to you as well! If God sacrificed His Son and caused Jesus to suffer in our place then He is willing to heal our bodies, provide a good job, and give us peace of mind. Every need is already met. Every
petition is already answered. Every problem is already solved but God is waiting for you to approach Him like you believe that. Your Father sits on the Throne of the entire Universe! Your greatest Advocate owns everything! Talk about connections! There are two main reasons why people lack confidence with God. First, they might have unconfessed sin in their life. Secondly, they might not be aware of what the Word of God says about how to approach Him. Get right with Him and go to Him with faith that is educated. Our prayer lives should be efficient and effective. Let God's Word take the guessing game out of prayer.

live fully in a digital, high tech world and capturing their attention requires working alongside of them in that realm. The Student Drone Video Project is the kind of project that will turn student’s heads and turn them on to the amazing advances in technology that manufacturing careers offer. In fact, the Kickstarter site video was designed by local students. Half way through the 40 day campaign, the Student Drone Video project has generated over 56% of its $2,500 goal. With just over
two weeks to go, DIDI Coordinator Justin Hanft is very excited but is still pushing hard for support. Hanft said, “We are amazed at the contributions we have received for this project so far. We are very grateful to those who have contributed. Everyone wants to see this project funded because they want to see the drone in action!” Kickstarter uses an “all or nothing” approach so DIDI must reach the $2,500 mark in order to complete the project and purchase the drone and camera.
You fought for our homes. We’ll fight for yours.
If you would like to make a contribution to this project or watch the video, please search for DIDI’s project titled: Dream It Do It Western New York-Student Drone Video Project on Kickstarter.com. The economic future of this area strongly depends on the future workforce becoming engaged to the opportunities that exist in advanced manufacturing. With your help DIDI can spread this mission as far and wide as this drone will take them!

Opening March 6 at JCC All My Sons Contributed Article JCC
Jamestown Community College’s production of All My Sons opens March 6 at 8 p.m. in Scharmann Theatre on JCC’s Jamestown Campus. Performances will also be held March 7, 13, and 14 at 8 p.m. and March 8 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $10, premium seating, and $9, general seating. JCC Faculty Student Association members receive a $2 discount on tickets. Tickets can be obtained by calling JCC’s box office at 716.338.1187 or by purchasing at the theatre door prior to performances. The show features Skip Anderson, Luanne Wanamaker, Austin Schapp, Markie Mohr, Tyler Stimson, Rycheigh Allan, Giovanna Accordino, Derek DeVlieger, Destiny Gates, and Drake Weatherley. Winner of the Drama Critics Award for Best New American Play in 1947, All My Sons introduced themes that run through playwright Arthur Miller’s work: the relationship between fathers and sons and the conflict between business ethics and personal morality. Joe Keller and Herbert Deever, partners in a machine shop during the war, turned out defective airplane parts, causing the deaths of many men. Deever was sent to prison, while Keller escaped punishment and became a wealthy man. A love affair develops between Keller’s son, Chris, and Deever’s daughter, Ann. Deever’s son George returns from the war to find his father in prison and his father’s partner free. The reaction of a son to his father’s guilt escalate toward a climax of electrifying intensity.

Photographs, ceramic sculpture, drawings and a mixed media installation by five artists will be on display beginning Feb. 27 at the State University of New York at Fredonia in a new exhibition at the Cathy and Jesse Marion Art Gallery. “These Are a Few of My Favorite Things” will open with a reception on Feb. 27 at 7 p.m. This exhibition features works by Jason Briggs, Linda Cordell, Fotini Galanes, Lorrie Fredette, and Chris Walker. In addition to the exhibition, Fredette will present an illustrated lecture on Feb. 26 at 8:30 p.m. in McEwen Hall, room 209 and Galanes will conduct a walk-in drawing workshop entitled “Mark Making” on Feb. 28 from 1 to 4 p.m. in the Marion Art Gallery. In this informal workshop participants will experience the importance of how we see and what interests us through color and textures. By mark making they will document what they see in one-inch squares for one, five and 10 minutes. The exhibition, reception and programs are free and open to the public. Briggs, of Watertown, Tenn., creates ceramic works. He was featured recently in Ceramics Art & Perception
AT THE studio
Fredonia'a Marion Art Gallery Five artists featured at Fredonia (issue number 79 “Not So Private Parts”) and his work has recently been included in the exhibitions “Corporeal Manifestations” at the Mutter Museum and “The Hermaphrodites” at the Wexler Gallery, both in Philadelphia, Pa., and “Transcending the Figure” in Athens, Ohio. “I am searching for a fresh perspective,” Briggs said of his art. “I strive to create an object I’ve never quite seen before, one whose inherent mystery and intrigue quietly insists upon viewer interaction – an object begging to be explored and examined in much the same way a child investigates the world: with wonder, curiosity and also trepidation.” Cordell is an instructor in ceramics and 3D design at Edinboro University of Pennsylvania. She has been an artist in residence at the Clay Studio in Philadelphia and the John Michael Kohler Arts Center in Sheboygan, Wisc. Her work has been exhibited in the Cheongju International Craft Biennale at the National Cheongju Museum, Korea; the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Texas; the Nancy Margolis and Garth Clark Galleries, New York, N.Y.; the Society of Arts and Crafts, Boston, Mass.; and the Everson Museum of Art, Syracuse, N.Y. Fredette creates site-specific
large-scale works that examine “beauty, harmony and comfort to comprehend the incomprehensible aspects of infection, pandemic and plague.” Her pieces have been exhibited nationally and internationally, including solo and group exhibitions in the United States and Europe. Among the exhibition venues are: Cynthia-Reeves Project, Brattleboro, Vt.; Art Southampton, Southampton, N.Y.; Seton Hall University; the Bank of America Headquarters in Charlotte, N.C.; Cape Cod Museum of Art, Dennis, Mass.; and Jyväskylä Art Museum in Jyväskylä, Finland. Fredette holds a BFA degree in sculpture from the Herron School of Art/Indiana University. Galanes, a Buffalo-based artist, studied illustration at Pratt Art Institute. Her illustrations have appeared in various publications and her murals can be seen in healthcare facilities throughout Western New York. She has exhibited her graphite on clayboard drawings and installations at the Albright Knox Art Gallery and Burchfield Penney Art Center in Buffalo and at the Castellani Art Museum in Niagara Falls, to name a few. Galanes’ extemporaneous drawings “explore the concrete visual form of disgust and delight in abstraction.”
“Cherry,” a work by artist Jason Briggs, will be part of the exhibition "These Are a Few of My Favorite Things" in the Cathy and Jesse Marion Art Gallery at the State University of New York at Fredonia.
Walker teaches photography at Loyola University in Baltimore, Md., and is a commercial and fine arts photographer. Among the publications that have featured his photography are The New York Times and Scientific America. In 2000, Walker and two colleagues from The Toledo Blade were finalists for a Pulitzer Prize. The exhibition features seven black and white photographs from Walker’s “Civil Twilight” series, which examine 19th century grain elevators as icons of socioeconomic evolution in rural America. “These Are a Few of My Favorite Things,” which was curated by Tina Hastings, runs through April 8. Gallery hours are noon to 4 p.m. from Tuesday through
Thursday, noon to 6 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and noon to 4 p.m. on Sunday. The gallery is closed on Mondays and will be closed from March 16 through 22 for the campus spring break. The exhibition and related programs are funded by the Fredonia College Foundation’s Cathy and Jesse Marion Endowment Fund, the Carl J. Nordell Art Gallery Endowment and the Department of Visual Arts and New Media

7 Great Hybrid Cars if you Don't Want a prius Contributed Article AutoTrader.com
If you're searching for a fuel-efficient new car, you've probably heard it a dozen times: "Get a Prius." After all, the Toyota Prius is one of today's top hybrid cars, thanks to its impressive interior volume, reasonable pricing and, above all, excellent gas mileage. But what if you want something different, perhaps a new hybrid that stands out more than Toyota's ubiquitous hatchback? If that's the case, our latest list is for you. We've rounded up seven great hybrids for drivers who don't want a Prius. Ford C-MAX Like the Prius, Ford's 4-cylinder C-MAX Hybrid ($25,000 with shipping) offers a practical hatchback bodystyle and room for five occupants, plus their cargo. Also like the Prius, Ford offers the C-MAX with an optional plug-in hybrid drivetrain, dubbed the C-MAX Energi. While C-MAX fuel economy (42 miles per gallon in the city and 37 mpg on the highway, according to the Environmental Protection Agency) can't quite touch the Prius's numbers, we like that the 5-door Ford boasts far more power than the Prius, along with a lot of standard equipment. And the C-MAX Hybrid is far less common than the Prius, which means you're likely to stand out from the typical hybrid-buying crowd. Ford Fusion Hybrid Ford's midsize Fusion Hybrid sedan is one of our favorite fuel-efficient cars. One reason we like it is because of its gas mileage, which stands at 44 mpg city/41 mpg hwy. While these aren't Prius numbers, they're not bad for a midsize sedan. We also like the Fusion Hybrid's available powertrains: the regular Fusion Hybrid or the plug-in hybrid Fusion Energi, which can travel more than 20 miles on electric power alone. Finally, the Fusion Hybrid strikes us as a surprisingly upscale sedan, thanks to impressive interior materials and a wide range of standard features, which are all included in its reasonable $27,500 base price. Honda Accord Hybrid The Honda Accord Hybrid is one of our favorite new hybrid cars. The biggest reason we love it is its fuel economy; despite being considerably larger than the Prius, the Accord Hybrid still manages to wring out an amazing 50 mpg city/45 mpg hwy, which is Prius territory. Of course, the Accord Hybrid also boasts everything we love about the standard Accord, including a roomy interior, a comfortable ride, long-term dependability, a familiar, well-built cabin and a lot of standard features. Best of all, its pricing is reasonable, starting around $30,000 with shipping.
Hyundai Sonata Hybrid The Hyundai Sonata Hybrid is a 4-cylinder, hybridpowered midsize sedan that's based on the outgoing Sonata model. Although an older design would usually send us running to a newer car, we happened to like the outgoing Sonata, and the use of last year's body style might mean some good deals available for interested shoppers. Even so, the Sonata Hybrid is already reasonably priced, given a base MSRP that starts from around $27,000 with shipping. That price includes a touchscreen, automatic climate control, alloy wheels, heated front seats, Bluetooth, keyless access and starting as well as fuel economy ratings of up to 36 mpg city/40 mpg hwy. Subaru XV Crosstrek Hybrid Although Subaru's XV Crosstrek Hybrid wagon doesn't offer Prius-like fuel economy (it tops out at 30 mpg city/34 mpg hwy), it does boast a few unique features that make it worthy of consideration. For one, pricing is reasonable and equipment is generous; included in the XV Crosstrek Hybrid's $27,000 base price are automatic headlights, automatic climate control, a backup camera and keyless access with push-button starting. More importantly, the XV Crosstrek Hybrid is one of the few hybrid models with standard all-wheel drive. That means you can get go-anywhere capabilities along with impressive fuel economy. Toyota Prius c Yes, there's a Toyota Prius on the list of hybrid vehicles to consider if you don't want a Prius. But hear us out, because this isn't the normal Prius. It's the subcompact Prius c, which offers even better city fuel economy than the standard model (53 mpg city/46 mpg hwy), along with pricing that starts from just $20,000 with shipping. Its styling is different from the standard Prius model's look, too, which means you won't blend in with all the other Prius drivers. Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid Although Volkswagen's turbodiesel-powered Jetta TDI seems to grab all the headlines, we're actually pretty fond of the fuel-efficient Jetta Hybrid. The car's fuel economy is one reason we like it. While the TDI boasts up to 30 mpg city/42 mpg hwy, the Jetta Hybrid comes in at a truly impressive 42 mpg city/48 mpg hwy, placing it among the top hybrids on the market for gas mileage. The Jetta Hybrid's base price of around $28,600 with shipping is also pretty reasonable, especially considering its long list of standard equipment, which includes dual-zone automatic climate control, alloy wheels, Bluetooth and more.

One of the several welcome signs you'll find entering the village of Ripley. Star File Photo. Star Special Feature
General E.W. Ripley Ripley is one of the extreme western towns of Chautauqua County, bordering on Lake Erie, and until 1817 was a part of the town of Portland. The town was set off in that year and named in honor of Gen. E. W. Ripley. Who received a gold medal from Congress to commemorate the battles he prominently participated in during the War of 1812. Those engagements where he bore such a conspicuous role were Erie, Niagara and Chippewa. The village of
Ripley (originally named Quincy) is the principal settlement of the town, others being South Ripley, Lombard and Ripley Crossing. Ripley was a station on the New York Central railroad, also the Lake Shore & Michigan Central also passing through the town, following the lake shore. Today the tracks carry tremendous cargos of freight and some passenger service. One of the natural features of the town is Johnson’s Falls, a spot of great natural beauty and wonder.

This great county, continued from page 22 of the Ripley Gulf the gorge is truly enchanting. In 1803 Robert Dunlap, of Otsego county, contracted for lands with Col. McMahan. He afterwards moved on to Louisiana. William Alexander, a native of Ireland, in 1804, bought over five hundred acres of this land, and planted the first orchard in town, for many years considered the best in the county. A stone “tomb table” marking the grave of his brother, Campbell Alexander, still exists on the farm which he sold to David Boyd. The first cemetery, one acre of ground, was given in 1815 by Robert Dickson. Quarries at Ripley and North East furnished the stone for many of the headstones. There was another organization in the town of Ripley doing the same splendid work, - the East Ripley Auxiliary Cemetery Association, organized April 1, 1901, and which had for its purpose the beautifying of the East Ripley Cemetery. Taverns for Travelers Samuel Truesdale kept the first tavern at State Line, beginning in 1805. Afterwards James Truesdale, his brother, built a tavern, called the State Line House, the main building standing in Pennsylvania, but the outbuildings in New York State. The Wesleyan Methodists subsequently built a small church on the site of the tavern, which
had been torn down. Israel Palmer built the first wagon road over the hills toward the south in 1817. He was from Vermont, and had bought land and built a log cabin three miles south of the Main road. In 1816 the summer was so cool that there was a failure of crops and the pioneers and their families suffered much hardship in consequence. Nationwide this was known as the year without a Summer. Sawmills were built about 1817 on Twenty mile creek and other streams. George Mason and Orson Kingsley built the first steam sawmill in 1827. Kinsey & Manning built the first woolen mills in Ripley, at Gage’s Gulf, and the property was afterwards purchased by Hezekiah Mason, who conducted the mills for years. The first creamery in Ripley was built in 1874, by F. Dingley and others from Stockton. Grapes All Around

He then stated that he wasn’t interested in apprehending the Canadians on the boat. At the same time that the trucks and the boat rendezvoused the authorities waited for the elicit Whiskey to be offloaded. Sherriff Levin stood and fired his shotgun from the overlooking bluff and roared your surrounded, the Canadian craft fired it’s engine and departed but the hapless locals were taken into custody without a struggle with

He was close to the Social Gospel movement, emphasizing that the Gospel of Christ was social, not merely individualistic; he worked hard to get churches to realize their responsibility to reform capitalism so that workers got fair treatment. Bootleggers and Canadian Whiskey From 1924 to 1927 Axel Levin from Busti was the Sherriff of Chautauqua County. Sherriff Levin had the opportunity to raise a trusted posse and under the dark of night staked out a known landing
the booty that they were made to load. A pious non drinker himself the Sheriff hauled the liquor to Mayville and placed it under guard. After alerting authorities of the Bureau of Prohibition in Buffalo of the raid, they came to Mayville in preparation for taking charge of the evidence. Instead as Sherriff of Chautauqua County he personally perforated all the vessels on the street and destroyed all the contraband. Creating a melee as citizens attempted to scoop the elixir into containers for future medicinal purposes. The way my sources put it Sherriff Levin wasn’t at all sure the liquor would make

The Revenuers left with their feathers ruffled but The Sherriff put a little dent into Prohibition but alas, from what I understand that wasn’t the last Whiskey to land in Ripley.

Jamestown Community College's Reed Reaches Prestigious Milestone By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
Elle Reed had a reputation for being a lethally effective scorer when she came out of Sherman High School. When she decided to stay local and join the women’s basketball team at Jamestown Community College, head coach George Sisson couldn’t have been happier. “It only took me one game of scouting her to see that I’d love to have her on my team,” Sisson said of Reed. “She can flat out fill it up. I knew about her when I first got here. She was in 10th or 11th grade and already everyone was talking about Reed. We were very fortunate that she decided to become a Jayhawk.” Less than two years later, Reed has forever cemented her place in JCC history by reaching the 1,000-point milestone. “That’s a lot of points,” Reed admitted. “That was my first thought.” An athlete doesn’t just luck into greatness, however. Shooting a basketball is a skill that needs to be fine tuned like few others in sports. So how exactly did Reed become such an oncourt assassin? “Actually this is a funny story,” Reed said with a laugh. “When I was younger, my shot was terrible. It was so bad. I couldn’t make anything. Then my dad helped me fix my shot. He tweaked my mechanics and that’s how I got better at shooting at a young age. We have a basketball court in our backyard, so we were always out there in the summer. I have an older brother that I could play against. He never took it easy on

me, either.” Of course, Reed also had the benefit of playing for legendary Sherman coach Mel Swanson, who coincidentally was just enshrined in the Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame the same weekend that Reed was honored for her accomplishment. “(Coach Swanson) is a great guy and a great coach,” Reed said. “I was a manager for him in sixth grade and that’s when I really started to love the game. He would let us shoot on the side during practices and I always thought that was so much fun.” Reed played point guard in high school, but Sisson knew that her skills profiled far better as the shooting guard in his system.
“After someone grabs a rebound I would find myself lingering around waiting for the outlet pass,” Reed said of the transition from point to shooting guard. “Everyone would be yelling for me to run down the floor. It was definitely different. There are certain parts of the floor that are kind of the point guard’s and parts that are the shoot guard’s. It was a transition, for sure.” “I’ve told her since the day that I recruited her, that this is how I coach shooters,” Sisson added. “I coach shooters on shot selection.

Difference Between Bills And Sabres By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
The city of Buffalo is starved for a winner. That’s no secret. Between the Bills and the Sabres, the last decade can been nearly totally devoid of excitement, perhaps even talent. Of course, the entire existence of both franchises have amounted to a total of zero championships. Take into consideration that a 16 year-old Boston sports fan (including the New England Patriots, Boston Red Sox, Boston Celtics and Boston Bruins) Continued on pg 27

commentary, continued from page 26 has had the pleasure of attending nine championship parades already in their lifetime. Four Super Bowl titles. Three World Series championships. A Stanley Cup. An NBA championship. All since 2000. Wow. That said, the Buffalo fan base has reason to be excited for both of the local teams, though for very different reasons. For the purposes of conversation, however, I’m here to say that the Sabres are much, much better off than the Bills. Shocking? Perhaps, given that the Bills nearly made the playoffs last season and the Sabres are buried in last place once again. But hear me out. I think I can make a believer out of you. Let’s start with the positives and look at the Sabres. The current Buffalo Sabres team is trash. I’m talking dumpster fire. Over the past two seasons, the Sabres have a cumulative record of 37-88-14. To put that in perspective, there are currently four teams with at least 37 wins THIS SEASON (about 56-57 games, or so). Here’s another one: Over the past two seasons, the Sabres have a league-worst goal differential of (shield your eyes) minus-181. The second-worst team in that span, Edmonton, is considered a total joke of a team. The Oilers are totally inept. Any other team laughs in their face. Edmonton has a goal differential of minus-128 over the past two seasons. Yes, the lowly Oilers have been 53 goals better than Buffalo over the past two seasons. Fudge (except I didn’t say fudge). And yet, I’m going to say the Sabres are well off. First of all, the big trade last week gave the Sabres a young player in Evander Kane that is already a proven 30-goal scorer in the NHL. These type of guys don’t grow on trees. And really, all the Sabres gave up was an unproven prospect and a couple of guys that were assuredly leaving Buffalo at the end of the season anyway. The real point is that the best teams in the National Hockey League have star players. The teams that win the Stanley Cup and have

all had Palmer not led them to a league-best record before getting hurt. I could listen to arguments that Andy Dalton is nothing special. Palmer proved how much he was worth by the team totally collapsing after his injury. Other than those two guys, those are the elite quarterbacks in the NFL. That’s it. The math is simple. If you have an elite quarterback, you make the playoffs. If you don’t have an elite quarterback, you don’t make the playoffs. How much more clear could it be? The Bills don’t have an elite quarterback. The Bills don’t even have an adequate quarterback on the roster.

Buffalo State completed a weekend sweep of the Fredonia men's hockey team with a 6-2 victory over the Blue Devils in Steele Hall on Saturday. They earned a 3-1 victory the night before. The Blue Devils received goals from Damien Kulynych (Calgary, Alberta / Steinbach Pistons (MJHL)) and Jared Wynia (Calgary, Alberta / Calgary Canucks (AJHL)), but could not overcome the Bengal offense and 12 penalties. The teams traded goals early in the first period. Buffalo State's Ryan Salkeld scored 3:22 into the game. Brett Hope took a shot from the slot and his rebound went to Salkeld who put the puck away for the score. A minute-and-a-half later, Fredonia answered with a score from Kulynych -- his fifth of the season -- to tie the game at 1-all. Marcus Ortiz (Richardson, Texas / Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Knights (AtlJHL)) carried the puck along the right-side boards into the Buffalo State zone. He took a shot from high off the face-off circle and Kulynych scored off the rebound as Ortiz was

credited with the assist. Buffalo State took a 3-1 lead, scoring the game's next two goals. Anthony Beaumont scored at the 14:05 mark of the first period, and Jason Zaleski scored 6:27 into the second on a power-play. Wynia's goal made it a 3-2 game at 12:03 of the second. Oskar Gerhardson (Hässleholm, Sweden / Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Knights (EHL)) passed to Stephen Castriota (Bellport, New York / New York Bobcats (AJHL)). Castriota carried the puck through the slot and passed to Wynia, who was
back door, and scored. It was Wynia's fourth goal of the season. Buffalo State (10-11-2, 6-6-2 SUNYAC) then took command in the third period with three goals, the last of which was an empty netter. Brett Hope, Zach Nieminen and Taylor Pryce each scored for the Bengals. Nieminen scored on a power play, and Pryce scored a short-handed goal. In goal, Jeff Flagler (Owen Sound, Ontario / Walkertown Jr.) had 36 saves and allowed five goals in taking the loss for Fredonia. Mike DeLaVergne was credited with 33 saves and the win for Buffalo State. This weekend put the Bengals back into contention in the Battle by the Lake. With wins in both men's and women's basketball on Friday and a pair of wins in hockey, the Fredonia lead has been cut to 10-6 for the inaugural cup. More points are up for grabs next weekend when the SUNYAC Championships take place in men's and women's swimming and diving. Fredonia falls to 4-14-5 overall and 0-11-3 in the SUNYAC. The Blue Devils conclude their season at home next weekend when they play host to Geneseo on Friday and Brockport on Saturday.
Elle Reed Milestone, continued from page 26 go 0-for-4, you have to keep in your mind that you were 4-for-4 because you took good shots. That’s important. She has that skill. Some kids aren’t that mentally tough.” Though to get to 1,000 points in less than two years, there weren’t a whole lot of 0-for-4 nights. “I’ve had lots of kids that shot the ball like they thought they were a 1,000point scorer,” Sisson noted. “But I’ve had very few with Elle’s ability to finish. She just has that ability to put the ball in the basket. Actually I’d like to take a look at her shooting percentages. I think she might actually shoot the ball better from three than from two.” Whether Reed’s career point total is a JCC record is a source of some debate. “Unfortunately we don’t know,” Sisson said. “(Athletic Director) Keith Martin took over 14 years ago. The highest he had in that time was 760 by Toni Jones. But before him, there’s really no record of the stats. They claim there was some girl back in 1976 that averaged something like 40 points per game. But you don’t know.” As the points and wins pile up (and JCC is currently rolling along at 21-5), Reed remains one of the most well-rounded individuals you’ll ever meet. “She’s a great student,” Sisson explained. “She had a 4.0 in the Fall semester. I think she carries a 3.9. She’s taking all science and labs. That’s hard to do when you’re not playing sports. Not only that, but she’s in the volunteer
fire department out there. And she’s doing EMT work on top of that. She doesn’t get cheated on doing chores, either. There are days when she has to go feed the calves before she catches the team bus. “And don’t let that smile fool you,” Sisson continued. “She’s as competitive as they come and she just wants to win. The whole Reed family is a competitive group. It’s bred into her. Some people have the skills, but don’t want it badly enough. Elle is the total package.” The milestone points occurred during a game against Niagara, but Reed has poured in 89 more since then. She’ll likely go over 1,100 in JCC’s next game and with playoffs on the horizon, there’s a legitimate shot that Reed reaches 1,200 or even 1,300 for her two-year career. “I’m just so excited for Elle,” Sisson concluded. “It’s a culmination of a lot of years of hard work. I didn’t change anything with her. I just gave her the confidence to continue to shoot it. I didn’t drill her on bad days. I didn’t make her wonder about her place in the system. She’s come a long ways in developing the ability to score in different ways.” Losing Reed’s production next year will be a major loss, but teammate and starting point guard Alex Sullivan has a solution. “Sully jokes with me that she’s going to recruit a point guard so she can move over to the two guard,” Sisson said with a smile. “She likes that position in my system, I guess.” System or not, there’s only one Elle Reed.

Seniors, Teammates Ready For SUNYAC Meet Contributed Article FSU Sports Information Dept.
When Fredonia senior Justin Hawes (Akron, N.Y.) gets on the starting blocks for his last collegiate swimming competition, he'll be relying on the trust he's developed over his last four years of training. Hawes, a captain on the men's swimming and diving team, feels trust will be of paramount importance as his team prepares to compete this week at the SUNYAC Swimming and Diving Championship in Buffalo, N.Y. The meet starts Wednesday and runs through Saturday at the Burt Flickinger Center, located on the campus of Erie Community College-City campus in downtown Buffalo. "SUNYAC's is 1,000 percent mental," Hawes said. "We've put in all the physical work at this point and now it's just prepping the mental game. We just need to trust our swims, trust (our coach), and go with it." Head swimming and diving coach Arthur Wang individualizes training programs for each swimmer depending on the event, often increasing intensity throughout January and tapering off as the team approaches championships in February. "You have to trust the program," Hawes said. "You have to trust that Arthur is going to put you in the best position to perform. If you don't trust him, you're not going to feel confident, and if you don't feel confident you're not going to swim as well as you want. That's all it is. If you don't trust the program, how can you believe in yourself?" Wang has high expectations for both teams, which is a testament to the positivity they've shown throughout the season. "We expect to have fast swims all around," Wang said. "This team is one of the more positive, happier teams we've had in recent years. We've been more cohesive. The more positive you are, the easier it is to swim fast and dive well. If we stay positive, good things will happen and the results will take care of themselves." On the women's side, junior swimmer Sam Rokos (Delanson, N.Y.) agrees with her coach's assessment of the team's cohesiveness. "The women's team is really excited going into SUNYAC's," Rokos said. "We're all really close, and we're especially excited for what we can
Fredonia seniors Justin Hawes and Bethany Nelson. (Photos courtesy of Fredonia)
do in the relays. We're really close to national cuts and this is our last chance with our seniors graduating. We're expecting to have some really fast relays." Wang believes the team's relay swimmers have a chance to get an NCAA cut. The top 16 relay teams in the country will qualify for NCAA Division III championship. In addition, he feels there are several individuals who could qualify for NCAA's. "Larissa Dobson (Hamburg, N.Y.) and Adam Clouthier (Fairport, N.Y.) in the breaststroke, and Jake Hewitt (Duanesburg, N.Y.) in the 200meter fly all have the potential to receive a trip to NCAA's," Wang said. Though Wang has high expectations of his swimmers this week, Fredonia's storied diving program will look to continue the dominance it's shown over the last decade. The diving team has had representation at nationals for nine straight years and Wang expects this year to be no different. "I think the dominance of Fredonia's team has come from the prowess of both our diving teams," he said. "We've got depth on both the men's and women's sides and I expect them to all be top-eight in both boards." Unlike many years in the past when a single diver has stood out from the rest, this year's diving teams have had several athletes sharing time in the spotlight. "The top three divers on the men's side have
all had their time in the limelight," Wang said. "( Jeff ) Matter (East Aurora, N.Y.) started out real hot for us, then (Rafael) Santiago (Middletown, N.Y.) had some really good performances. Most recently, Arron Carlson (LeRoy, N.Y.) has had some outstanding performances and built his season to where he'll be at his best for SUNYAC's. "On the women's side, Meghan Bartlett ( Johnstown, N.Y.) has been extremely consistent for us, and Heather Colby (Owego, N.Y.) is a senior who will bring experience. Heather just missed NCAA's last year." Bartlett, in fact, enters the conference meet as the top point-getter for 11 dives among all SUNYAC women this season. Senior distance swimmer Bethany Nelson (Frewsburg, N.Y.) will be finishing her Blue Devil career this weekend in Buffalo. Regardless of the outcome, it's likely to be an emotional experience. "I swim the mile which is 66 lengths of the pool," Nelson said. "I was just thinking the other day that when I see the orange cards on my way back, it it will be the end of my swimming career. It's kind of overwhelming. I'm excited and nervous. Everything is starting to get bittersweet. It will be a fun but emotional weekend. It'll be a good way to go out."

Sir Melvin Pistachio Knight of the Card Table
To board game geeks, the term ‘fantasy football’ can be deceiving. Sure, there’s that multibillion dollar industry about picking actual players and earning points for how well those players do in their foosball game (in Waterboy’s mom’s voice, of course). But then there’s Blood Bowl: Team Manager. Now this is ‘real’ fantasy football. Let’s take a closer look at this sports board game. BACKGROUND Blood Bowl: Team Manager (BBTM) is a game designed by Jason Little. Little is known for designing a pair of roleplaying games, Star Wars: Edge of the Empire and Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay (3rd Edition). The game was published by Fantasy Flight in 2011. There are currently two expansions. The game is for 2-4 players with suggested ages being 14 and up. There’s some symbology and text, but there’s no reason a 10-year old with some gaming experience

The Knight Of The Card Table Reviews... Blood Bowl: Team Manager — The Real Fantasy Football couldn’t enjoy BBTM. INTRODUCTION As the title indicates, players in BBTW take on the role of managers of a football team. The theme comes from the types of teams. There are teams of undead skeletons, savage orcs, stout dwarves, speedy elves and plenty of other classic fantasythemed races. Each coach takes one of the decks as their ‘team.’ Over the course of the game, coaches will try to use highlight reel plays to earns fans. Fans can also be earned through cheating, tackling or by hiring certain staff members. The game ends with the Blood Bowl itself, which awards a game-changing number of fans to the victor. MECHANICS BBTM is played mostly through card manipulation, but there’s some dice rolling, deck building and area control. A number of highlight cards are put out equal to number of players plus one. These highlight cards can give coaches the opportunity to earn fans, hire staff, unlock special team abilities or even recruit star players to be added to the team. Coaches shuffle their decks and each player draws six cards. Then the first player can play one of his player cards at one of the highlights. Each highlight offers
different rewards, so being the first coach has a significant advantage, though this honor will cycle through the players each successive round. The coaches will go back and forth playing their players at each of the highlight cards. Each highlight card has two sides, so only two different teams can be present at the highlight. In a two-player game, this means coaches will be battling each other at each highlight, but you could end up fighting multiple different opponents at various highlights as more players are added. Once the last coach places their final card, each highlight card will be scored. Coaches add up the star power of each of the players present. The coach with the higher total takes the rewards of the highlight card. Of course, it’s not exactly that simple. Each player card will likely have a special ability. These abilities let you tackle opposing players, reducing their star power. This is where the dice come into play. A starburst has to be rolled or the tackle misses. Another ability is spring, which allows the coach to draw a card and discard a card. This can be a great way to replace a weak card in your hand with a powerful card from your deck. Of course, there’s no

Sabres Fall To Devils In Rare Shootout By Tom Canavan AP Sports Writer
After years of searching, the New Jersey Devils have finally found some players who know what to do in a shootout. Scott Gomez and Jacob Josefson scored in the shootout and Cory Schneider was not beaten on both Buffalo attempts as the Devils snapped a four-game losing streak with a 2-1 victory over the woeful Sabres on Tuesday night. ''Over the years, I should say the past year, we've had some problems in the shootout,'' Devils general manager Lou Lamoriello said. That's an understatement. The Devils' lost all 13 shootouts last season and had an NHL record of 18 straight shootout losses before snapping the string early this season. Gomez and Josefson have been the key. Gomez is now 2 of 4 and Josefson is 3 of 6, with both earning their slots because they had success in practice. It's not like the old days when Ilya Kovalchuk and Zach Parise were almost automatic for New Jersey. But the results are getting better: New Jersey is 4-6 in shootouts, and this one was especially needed.
''This was a game we had to have for a number of reasons,'' Schneider said. ''Buffalo was a tough out. They worked hard and didn't quit. They got the goal early in the third and we responded the right way, got some good chances. ''We figured it may have to go to an overtime or shootout, but you know I think we feel a little more comfortable in the shootout than we did last year, and it was good to see those guys bury those first two. Jo and Gomer have become pretty reliable.'' Gomez and Josefson both beat Michal Neuvirth with backhand shots. After Gomez scored on the first attempt, Matt Moulson of the Sabres missed the net. Tyler Ennis, who scored for Buffalo in the third period, had a chance to keep the Sabres alive, but he flubbed his shot and Schneider had no problem stopping it. The shootout loss was a rare one for Buffalo, which is now 6-2 this season. The defeat was its four straight and 19 of 21. Neuvirth had 34 saves, including 17 in the third period and the overtime in losing his 11th straight decision. ''I felt pretty good,'' Neuvirth said. ''I only let one get by me, so I'll take that

as a positive. The more I play, the more comfortable I feel. It was a good solid game for us. If we play like that, we're not going to lose many.'' Patrik Elias scored for the Devils in the first period and Schneider finished with 24 saves as New Jersey ended a season-tying skid. Adam Henrique blew a chance to give the Devils the lead with 3:27 left in regulation when he failed to hit the net on a penalty shot after being taken down by defenseman Zach Bogosian on a breakaway. Ennis tied the game 27 seconds into the third period after Zemgus Girgensons
pushed a faceoff deep in the Devils' end forward. Ennis jumped on it and beat Schneider with a quick shot for his 14th goal. Marek Zidlicky set up the Devils' goal with a pass from the left point that Elias redirected pass Neuvirth with his back to the goaltender. The Devils probably should have had a 2-0 lead in the first period, but Jaromir Jagr and Gomez failed to get off a shot on a 2-on-0 break. Gomez set up Jagr in close for a what looked like a shot at an open net, but the 43-year-old who has 716 career goals got cute, and his return pass to Gomez for a slam dunk did not

connect. The Sabres had a couple of good chances in a 12-shot second stanza. Schneider made a pad save on Matt Ellis in close after Cody Hodgson negated an icing and found his teammate in front. Girgenson missed an open net on a rebound early in a power play and Schneider stopped a redirection by Chris Stewart seconds later. Neuvirth also came up big in the period, stopping a shot by Elias from between the circles and stoning Jordin Tootoo from pointblank range roughly 30 seconds later. ''We battled hard,'' Moulson said. ''Both goalies were unbelievable. Neuvy gave us every chance to win the game. It was definitely a good goaltending battle.''

Former Sabres Defeseman Montador Dies At 35
By Jay Cohen AP Sports Writer
Former NHL defenseman Steve Montador was remembered Sunday for being a solid teammate and for his work with the players' union. Montador was found unconscious in his home in Mississauga, Ontario, early Sunday morning and was later pronounced dead, according to the Peel Region Police. He was 35. No foul play was suspected. ''Steve was a great person who quickly became a friend of everyone he came to know in the game; teammates, NHL club staff, the media and
fans,'' Donald Fehr, the executive director of the NHL Players' Association, said in a statement. ''Over the course of his career, he was an active member of the NHLPA and someone who I and our entire staff enjoyed working closely with. He dedicated a lot of his time to advancing the interests of his fellow players. On behalf of the players and staff, we send our thoughts and prayers to Steve's family and his many friends. He will be greatly missed.'' Montador made his NHL debut in 2001 with Calgary and played for six teams in parts of 10 seasons. The Vancouver, British
Columbia, native had 33 goals and 98 assists in 571 career games. ''The NHL family was saddened to learn of the passing of Steve Montador,'' Commissioner Gary Bettman said in a statement. ''Steve's career was defined by a passion for the game and a determination that made him a great teammate as well as a respected opponent. We extend our deepest sympathies to Steve's family and friends.'' Montador had five goals and nine assists in 52 games with Chicago in his last NHL season. He suffered a concussion in February 2012 and played in just one game the rest of the
year. ''He was a leader in the locker room,'' Blackhawks forward Patrick Sharp said after Sunday's 2-1 shootout win over Pittsburgh. ''He did a lot for the union on our team, and then league-wide. He was friendly with everybody and a great teammate. It's really disappointing to hear the news before the game. We're going to support each other, support his family and all of his close friends, and get through it.'' Some players praised Montador on Twitter for being a mentor at the start of their careers. ''So sad to hear the passing of my former teammate Steve Montador,'' former Sabres teammate Luke Adam wrote. ''I will always remember how good you were to me as a rookie, Monty.'' The Sabres and Blackhawks also expressed their condolences in team-issued statements, professing a deep sadness over Montador's death. ''Steve was a passionate hockey player, a valued

A-Rod Issues Written Apology Ahead Of Return By Ronald Blum AP Sports Writer
It appears the only place Alex Rodriguez might detail his drug use is on a witness stand. The ever controversial New York Yankees star decided against holding a news conference ahead of his return to the team following a one-year absence. He issued a vague five-paragraph handwritten apology Tuesday "for the mistakes that led to my suspension" but failed to provide specifics about how and why he resumed using performance-enhancing drugs for at least the second stretch of his celebrated career. Readying to report back to the Yankees following an unprecedented season-long ban for violating baseball's drug agreement and labor contract, Rodriguez apologized to team officials in person during a meeting at the ballpark on Feb. 10. They suggested he hold a news conference before the start of spring training this Friday and offered the use of Yankee Stadium. Rodriguez declined. He held an apologetic session with reporters in 2009 at the team's facility in Tampa, Florida, after he admitted using banned PEDs while with Texas from 2001-03. That was before Major League Baseball had a drug agreement with penalties. "The only thing I ask from this group today and the American people is to judge me from this day forward," he said then. But he apparently did not want to face questions from media about his latest involvement with PEDs — although he could be required to testify in federal court if his cousin, Yuri Sucart, and former University of Miami pitching coach Lazaro Collazo go to trial on charges they committed crimes in their involvement with the Biogenesis of America drug clinic. Rodriguez admitted in court documents he used PEDs. ESPN The Magazine said it planned to release an interview Wednesday in which Rodriguez said he thinks Biogenesis owner Anthony Bosch gave him a placebo. Rodriguez also said he considered retirement early in his suspension, is in therapy and secretly visits colleges. He told ESPN he took a marketing class during his suspension and wants to complete his education.
Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig suspended the three-time AL MVP for 211 games in August 2013, citing conduct from 2010-12 uncovered during MLB's investigation of Biogenesis, which was based in Coral Gables, Florida, not far from Rodriguez's home. Arbitrator Fredric Horowitz reduced the penalty to the 2014 season, finding "clear and convincing evidence" Rodriguez used three banned substances and twice tried to obstruct baseball's drug investigation. Hoping to overcome the suspension and a pair of hip surgeries, Rodriguez is due to report to the Yankees on Feb. 25 and start workouts the following day. He has not played a full season since 2007. Rodriguez addressed his statement "to the fans" and said "I take full responsibility for the mistakes that led to my suspension for the 2014 season" without explaining what those mistakes were. "I regret that my actions made the situation worse than it needed to be," he wrote in legible blue script. "To Major League Baseball, the Yankees, the Steinbrenner family, the players' association and you, the fans, I can only say I'm sorry."
got news?
Rodriguez said "I accept the fact that many of you will not believe my apology or anything that I say at this point. I understand why, and that's on me." "It was gracious of the Yankees to offer me the use of Yankee Stadium for this apology but I decided the next time I am in Yankee Stadium, I should be in pinstripes doing my job," he said. Bosch was sentenced to four years in prison on Tuesday after pleading guilty in October to a charge of conspiracy to distribute testosterone. New York says Rodriguez, who turns 40 in July, has been replaced by Chase Headley at third base and will have to compete for playing time at designated hitter and as an infield backup. Rodriguez is owed $61 million over the final three seasons of his contract, and the Yankees say they do not plan to pay five $6 million bonuses detailed in a marketing agreement for historic achievements he may reach. Rodriguez is fifth on the career list with 654 home runs, and the deal contemplates the first bonus being triggered when he ties Willie Mays at 660. Before apologizing to the Yankees, Rodriguez met last month with Rob Manfred, who succeeded Selig as baseball commissioner on Jan. 25.

Kyle Larson Ready To Become NASCAR’s New Superstar
By Jenna Fryer AP Auto Racing Writer
As Jeff Gordon winds down his long career, the kid who grew up idolizing him is just getting started. Kyle Larson is ready to become NASCAR's next superstar. His sophomore season in the Sprint Cup Series begins Sunday with the Daytona 500 and there are high expectations for Larson to have a breakout year. He was decent last season during his run toward rookie of the year honors, but Larson is ready for more. On his list of goals for the year is winning his first Sprint Cup race and making the Chase for the championship. ''Last year, nobody had any expectations for me other than failing,'' Larson said. ''So the expectations are different this year. A little bit more pressure. I think we can run up front every week, hopefully, and be competitive and try and get a couple of wins.'' The expectation of failure is a bit of an exaggeration by Larson, who has skyrocketed from sprint cars to NASCAR's top series in just three years. His first

full season in stock cars was in 2013 and many believed team owner Chip Ganassi was rushing Larson when he promoted him to Cup last season. Nobody inside the Ganassi organization felt that way. Chris Heroy, who worked with Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Mark Martin at Hendrick Motorsports, knew he was being paired with a rare talent when he moved to Ganassi to become Larson's
crew chief. ''I saw Jimmie in his prime, winning all those championships, and I'd put Kyle right there,'' Heroy said of the sixtime Cup champion. ''Kyle is a generational talent.'' The industry sure hopes Heroy and the Ganassi organization are correct. Gordon, the four-time champion and face of NASCAR for the last two decades, is retiring from fulltime competition at the end of the year. His departure as
Larson is taking off almost makes the cycle full circle: Larson grew up a Gordon fan - he periodically posts throwback pictures on social media of him dressed headto-toe in Gordon's rainbowthemed gear as a child - and Gordon has spent the last three years praising Larson. Gordon has given the 22year-old advice, and he pulled him aside after hard racing in the closing laps at Chicago in September to explain some things Larson could have done differently. Larson, once Gordon's biggest fan, now has Gordon as the biggest Larson fan. ''I want Kyle Larson to be exactly who he is now, to never change,'' Gordon said. ''But that's going to be hard. I always tell guys like Kyle, who's been catapulted into this Sprint Cup Series at a high level who have got a lot of talent, you can't prepare for what it's like to be famous, to do autographs, to take pictures, to win at the highest level. You don't know what that's going to be like.'' The swell is slowly growing around Larson, who welcomed a son in December with his longtime girlfriend and is balancing fatherhood with his growing popular-
ity. He'll be the star of a national commercial for sponsor Target that will debut during the Daytona 500. Target reallocated some of its spending on Ganassi's IndyCar program this season to focus on marketing Larson and three-time IndyCar champion Scott Dixon. In addition to Larson's commercial, the retailer is launching a TeamTarget. com hub on Sunday that will chronicle the season and host a series of additional videos featuring both drivers. So as NASCAR begins the transition to the younger drivers who will carry the sport for the next decade, Larson is readying himself for the ride. ''I definitely paid attention (last year) to people doubting what we were going to be able to do,'' he said. ''That fueled that into our team as 'Let's go out and prove them wrong.' I feel like we did that. But I didn't let it get to me or anything like that. ... I hope I'm the next big thing. We'll just have to wait and see, I guess. I'm sure there are a lot of other 'next big things' coming up. I hope I can stand out as that guy.''
