You can’t take away the pictures and call it educational. It has the same debilitating effect on marriages and relationships. Sexual misconduct used to be a dirty secret that few dealt with and nearly all attempted to overcome. Now it is celebrated. Revered. The more perverted one is, the better. Disagree with me?

all that is good, live your life beyond the nature of ‘feeling good.’ Not to sound the ‘World is Ending’ street corner gong, but it’s a dark hole to head down, folks. Morality is in question. This kind of "sexual freedom" only leads to moral slavery. These books and movies will make millions off of the twisted desires that many attempt to repress for the betterment of society. If it hasn’t already happened, I estimate that it won’t be long before the reports start to roll in of emergency room visits, domestic abuse charges and restraining orders. People emulate what they find appealing and acceptable. I’m not one to advocate boycotts. I think they’re frivolous and generally unproductive. But in this case, I’ll not be taking part in 50 Shades. Love was meant to be something beautiful, not twisted and dark. There’s no gray-area involved, it’s over the line.

Community copycat recipe: Five Cheese Ziti Al Forno
5
By Katy Wise Contributing Writer
The very first date that my husband and I went on was to Olive Garden back when I was a senior in high school. Yes, we were young and I guess you could call us high school sweethearts. I wasn’t planning on writing anything pertaining to Valentine’s Day, but it looks like this could turn out slightly sappy and sentimental after all. Anyways, I honestly hadn’t had too many eating out experiences, and being slightly intimidated by a large Italian menu with various names I couldn’t pronounce, I decided to go with the very first thing I saw that looked familiar. This ended up being a dish called ‘Five Cheese Ziti al Forno.’ I immediately rejoiced at my decision, as it was one of the most delicious things I had ever eaten. Admittedly, I am one of those people who finds it hard to try something new once I’ve found one thing that I really like. There have been a couple of Olive Garden trips where I tried to branch out, but nothing hits the spot quite like my beloved ziti. This could also be due to the fond memories that I have of ordering it for that first time. If you aren’t familiar with the term, 'copycat recipe,’ it simply means a recipe that has been copied, or someone attempted to copy it. This is a frequent term used when trying to duplicate recipes from restaurants. Some copycat recipes are by word of mouth from an old employee, and some are just from people taking their best shot at what ingredients are used in a favorite dish. This particular recipe is just a relatively good guess at the existing Olive Garden recipe. And just to be clear, I still think the original is the best. Maybe it’s the atmosphere or the fancy plates, or the breadsticks, or maybe it’s the treat of having someone other than myself cook my dinner. That’s every mom’s favorite part, right? Well to be honest, this mom’s favorite part is probably the breadsticks AND not having to cook. Good deal. However, there are times in everyone’s life when
you want your favorite dish from a restaurant and that just isn’t an option. Especially when the meal you’re craving costs the same to make an entire batch at home. That makes it worth trying! Five Cheese Ziti al Forno: Copycat Recipe Ingredients: 1 box Ziti, cooked 2 Tbsp. Butter 2 C. Alfredo sauce, homemade or store bought 4 C. Marinara sauce ½ C. Ricotta cheese 2 C. Mozzarella cheese 1 C. Parmesan cheese 1 C. Italian blend cheese ½ tsp. Garlic powder 3 Tbsp. Oil 2 Tbsp. Parsley ½ C. Breadcrumbs First step, begin boiling water for your pasta. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare Alfredo sauce if you need, then mix together marinara, Alfredo, and ricotta cheese and simmer.
I made this with homemade Alfredo sauce, using half parmesan cheese and half Italian blend shredded cheese. This made the perfect blend of cheeses, and the smaller bag of Italian blend was the perfect size for Alfredo sauce and sprinkling on top of the ziti. Another addition we made to the recipe was 1 can of (no salt added) diced tomatoes to add some texture and more nutrition. Of course, the tomatoes are completely optional, and thus not included in the recipe above. Once the ziti is cooked, place in a pan and toss with the butter. This will help keep any pasta from sticking or browning if sauce isn’t covering it. Pour sauce mixture on top of ziti, then cover with mozzarella cheese. In a small bowl, mix the remaining ingredients together, then evenly distribute on top of pasta. Bake pasta just long enough for the cheese to melt and breadcrumbs to brown, about 15-20 minutes. Serves about 6-8 people. Hope that you enjoy your at home Olive Garden experience! Thanks for reading and happy dining!

valley Historical Society President Speaks on Sinclairville History
Contributed Article JS Sipos
The Cassadaga Branch Library is holding a midwinter series called "Fight Cabin Fever." Speakers on various topics present a program and area residents are welcome to attend to get out of their house during the winter months. Recently at the library, Valley Historical Society President, Larry Barmore, spoke on the history of Sinclairville. Barmore said he has never lived in Sinclairville, but always had an interest in the village as it was a very active community. Barmore said that the history of Sinclairville dates back to at least 1809, when Major Samuel Sinclear purchased the land from the Holland Land Company and encouraged others to settle there. A log cabin was constructed at the corner of Park Street and Water Street, across from the cemetery. Major Sinclear moved his entire family to there in October 22, 1809. Major Sinclear invited new settlers to stay in the log cabin until they constructed a home. The log cabin served as the first school in Sinclairville. Over the last two centuries, there have been seven school buildings, and the school is now a part of the Cassadaga Valley School District. The last high school constructed is now an apartment complex for the area. Sinclairville grew as it was on a main road from Fredonia to Jamestown, and in 1900 there were 104 businesses in the area. The main road being the old route 60, which was constructed in 1912, is now known as Nelson Hill Road. The DAV&P railroad which begun running on June 22, 1871, helped to bring trade and people to the village.

Keeping the Faith
Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church Fredonia fcfredonia.org
Dear Pastor, I’ve made some really big mistakes. Will God still help me? Years ago, while seeking support during a life challenge, I was told, “You’ve made your bed, now you’ll
have to lie in it.” Ouch! While it’s true that our bad choices can lead to hardships in our life (Proverbs 13:15) and that our mistakes can have significant consequences, should we just give up and take it as punishment? Is this God’s final word on our situation? What should happen when we make a mistakes or a bad choice? Should we fall into hopelessness and resign ourselves to bearing the guilt and consequences of these poor choices? Will God help us out of the ditch that we dig for ourselves? We can answer these questions with one wonderful word… mercy! The Bible says that God is a God of mercy whose mercy endures forever (Psalm
136). What is mercy? If we examine the concept of mercy, we see that basically, mercy is not getting what we deserve! We read about the history of Israel in the Old Testament. Whenever God’s people cried out for mercy, they received it! Israel had a covenant with God that would bless them if they obeyed and open the door for calamity if they disobeyed. Psalm 107 gives a summation of hardships for the people of Israel due to their disobedience. Hunger, imprisonment, bitter labor, and illness came their way because of their disobedience to God’s commands. Even though they deserved the bad consequences of their actions, they
cried out to the Lord for mercy. What happened? Did God say “deal with it” or “you got what you deserve”? No! God is a loving God Who desires to bless His children. Again and again He delivered them from their self-imposed troubles. The Bible tells us that Israel is an example to us Christians (1 Corinthians 10:1-6). You may have made some mistakes, but God’s goodness and mercy are more than enough to get you out of any mess you may have gotten into! If you want to set your life right, go before God and repent of your mistake. And ask Him to help you be better. If He needs you to do any “undoing” of your mis-

The 2015 Appeal volunteer leadership team includes Nicholas and Nicole Tzetzo, vice chairs; Kellie Ulrich, community division chair; Jim and Mary Beth Basil, and John and Suzanne Berger, corporate co-chairs; and Rick Cronin, who will again serve as parish chair. Reflecting on the importance of donations to the annual Appeal, Bishop Malone recalled the life and words of St. Francis of Assisi, who said, “It is in giving that we receive,” and the encouragement of Pope Francis to “Take care of God’s creation…and above all, to take care of people in need.” Bishop Malone added, “Your generosity in serving our brothers and sisters in need through the Catholic Charities Appeal, and helping to find the good within our community is a concrete response to God’s commandment to love thy neighbor as thyself.” In Chautauqua County, Catholic Charities operates out of offices in Jamestown and Dunkirk and provides individual, children, couples and family counseling, emergency assistance, the Our Kids: Parent Education Awareness Program, Domestic Violence Offenders Program and a volunteer-based outreach to the elderly program.

New Study Reveals 10 Best Cars to Buy Used Rather Than New Contributed Article AutoTrader.com
A new study officially ranks the best cars to buy used rather than new. The study, carried out by iSeeCars. com, examined models that lose the most value in their first year of ownership. Those cars, which offer the most substantial discounts compared to a new model, lead the list of today's best vehicles to buy used rather than new. The top car to buy used is the Hyundai Genesis. Analysts say that the Genesis loses 38.2 percent of its value in the first year alone, suggesting that a 1-year-old Genesis offers significant savings over a new model. Much of the heavy depreciation is likely due to the Genesis's old design, since the sedan was recently replaced with a dramatically improved version for the 2015 model year. In fact, several of the vehicles on the list of the best cars to buy used are models that were recently replaced. They include the Cadillac CTS (second place), the Chevrolet Impala (fourth place), the GMC Yukon XL (fifth place), the Mercedes-Benz S-Class (seventh place) and the MINI Cooper (ninth place). This suggests that most cars take substantial depreciation hits right before they're replaced with an all-new model. Of course, the allnew version of any given car will likely offer safety and technology improvements over the previous version. Still, if getting a car for the absolute lowest price is your goal, you might want to look at an older version of a new car.
The list doesn't solely consist of recently replaced models, however. Tying the Cadillac CTS for second place is the smart fortwo, which loses nearly 37 percent of its value in the first year, making a lightly used fortwo a great value. The list also includes such aging models as the Volvo S80, Lincoln MKS and Jaguar XK. This list is especially important for drivers interested in saving big money when buying a new vehicle. For example, choosing a 1-yearold Mercedes-Benz S-Class, which loses 32.4 percent of its value in the first year, can save shoppers more than $30,000 compared to buying a brand-new model. However, Karl Brauer for Kelley Blue Book offers a word of caution if you're planning to buy a model with faster-than-usual depreciation. Brauer says, "I normally wouldn't recommend buying a car that rapidly loses value, but if a buyer is shopping slightly used vehicles, this can be a desirable trait. Of course, this assumes the buyer plans to keep the slightly used car for several years. It will continue to lose money faster than competitive models, meaning the savings made at purchase time will be given back if it's sold too soon." What it means to you: If you want to save big money on your next car, consider a 1-year-old example of some of these models.

As for why he chose to join LEMS and Brooks Memorial Hospital in particular, Shrestha stated that the organization is receptive to my focus on healthy nutrition for healthy moms and families. He adds, “I firmly believe that healthy nutrition and an active lifestyle are an important part of disease prevention in women. Mothers have the power to make healthy meal choices for their family. I encourage my patients to be active with their children; to eat colorful fruits and vegetables; and to cut back on sweets. Healthy moms create healthy families!” During his time working in rural Nepal, Dr. Shrestha learned life lessons that he carries with him today. “People in rural Nepal walked for days to get access to healthcare. The community was poor and there were no resources. Seeing this helped me realize the critical importance of access to quality healthcare and nutrition, especially for women”.
Dr. Shrestha is a proud recipient of The Gold Humanism Honor Society Award for clinical excellence and compassion in patient care twice; first in 2011 and recently in 2014. He is currently an active candidate for American Boards of Obstetrics and Gynecology. The newest LEMS location, at 419 Central Avenue in Dunkirk, opened its doors to new patients in January.

Thanks in large part to the popularity of the Holiday Valley and Holimont ski resorts, Ellicottville enjoys thriving economic conditions, with numerous restaurants, bars, taverns and unique boutiques providing dining and shopping options for visitors and yearround residents. “Our region has so much to offer those who come here because it really does represent for many people the ideal place to visit,” said Chris Chapman, media and communications manager for the Ellicottville Chamber
of Commerce. “For skiing in the winter, hiking and fishing in the summer and so many other activities, there is something for everyone to do. One of the best things about Ellicotville is that not everything will force you to dig deep into your wallet. There are plenty of ways to enjoy the natural beauty and participate in a low or virtually no-cost activity like hiking or biking.” Ellicottville is often called “a home away from home” by many of the repeat visitors because of the heightened sense of community that is evident throughout the region. “For those of us here

They talk about the excitement they feel as they approach us and literally tell us there is just something in the air here that gets them excited and feeling comfortable and really thrilled to be here.” The local residents greatly appreciate the region and play a part in keeping the area viable throughout the year by shopping locally and attending the many festivals and social activities that take place year-round. “Our year round residents are regular salt-of-the-earth people,” said Chapman. “Without them,
the region would not be what it is today. They play a crucial role in the entire picture because they are the foundation for the community and set the stage for the many visitors who come and go throughout the year. Ellicottville has been called by some the Aspen of the East and I don’t think people really understand that because what makes Ellicottville unique is we have people who are truly genuine and who honestly do care about each other and the visitors who come to town. I would say we actually do not want to evolve into Aspen because we want to remain affordable and down-to-earth and I do not get the feeling that anyone who lives here or anyone who visits here wants to see that close-knit atmosphere go away.” Ellicottville is popular in the summer months with music and other local events.

DuNKirK NATivE MAKiNg A NAME FOr HiMSELF ON ArM WrESTLiNg CirCuiT By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
Growing up, Dunkirk native Adam Wilmot was always a star athlete. Whether it was baseball, football or bowling, Wilmot excelled. But while each of those sports is relatively popular in American culture, Wilmot’s latest endeavors are a bit less mainstream. For the past 16 months or so, Wilmot has traveled the country competing in the intense sport of arm wrestling. “I think everybody finds out about arm wrestling because of ‘Over The Top’,” Wilmot said, referencing the 1987 Sylvester Stallone movie. “I remember watching that with my dad when I was a kid and then arm wrestling on the coffee table or the lunchroom table. I was always curious about it. I wondered where there were tournaments and how people got into the sport. “Then I was going through Netfl ix and watching all the ESPN 30 for 30s,” he continued. “In my suggestion box popped up a documentary called 'Pulling John.' I knew who John Brzenk was from watching earlier arm wrestling programs. He was the man. This guy is like 200 pounds and he beats super heavyweights all over the world.” That documentary reignited Wilmot’s interest in the sport. After finding an online forum dedicated to the northeast arm wrestling circuit, Wilmot decided to take a chance and contact the director. “It took a day or two of debating before I called,” Wilmot said with a laugh. “My brother thought I was

being stupid. But I called up the director. His name is Bart Wood. He told me to come down for a practice before the next tournament comes around. “The following Sunday, I’m down at Bart Wood’s house,” Wilmot continued. “He pulls out an official arm wrestling table. It was the first time I had seen one with my own eyes, so I’m super excited about that. We stretch out and he tells me to show him what I’ve got. Bart outweighs me by 60 pounds and is ranked nationally, so he wasn’t in danger of losing to me, but he was feeling me out. He told me I had natural ability and I should keep training with him.” So there is was, the start of a new
athletic challenge for Wilmot. And as a surprise to no one who knows him, Wilmot experienced almost immediate success. “I went to that first tournament and pulled the novice class,” he explained. “I weighed in at 175 pounds and took second in both the right arm and left arm. I got a nice little collection of medals going at my house. It was fun. It was really fun.” Wilmot’s next tournament came in Chicago, Ill., where he moved up to the 185-pound weight class and took third in both the right and left arm divisions. He then traveled to Columbus, Ohio for his first WAL (World Armwrestling League) tournament. CONTiNuED ON PG 28

ties that are out there. You can golf, cycle, hike, fish, jog, etc. Sadly (especially as of this writing on Monday morning), we’re all shoveling snow and scraping ice here in Western New York. So this February, I’m going to urge you to watch TV. No, I’m not talking about “Walking Dead” or “Better Call Saul” or whatever else premiered this past weekend. In fact, I can’t remember the last time I actually watched a current TV show that wasn’t sports. This commentary is urging you, once again, to watch the ESPN Films series 30 for 30. There are many seasons of this documentary series now. There are branches including shorts and socceronly based films. And
the best part? They cycle through Netflix all the time. I probably have 10 of them in my queue right now. The series is intriguing for a number of reasons. First off, depending on which era you were born or grew up in, there might be sports stories that you completely missed. For instance, I watched the 30 for 30 depicting the story of Len Bias. He was the can’t-miss prospect drafted by the Boston Celtics in 1986. Two days after being drafted, Bias died of a cocaine-induced heart attack. The incident sparked a change in casual drug use in America and especially in the sports community. It’s a story that I was vaguely aware of as a fan of the NBA, but as someone who was born in 1986, I certainly didn’t know a lot
of the details that led up to the unfortunate night or the specifics of the aftermath. More often, these documentaries just take a much deeper look at stories and people that I know well. But after watching these specials and hearing first-hand accounts, it makes me realize just how little I knew. The tales of Allen Iverson’s arrest for a racially sparked melee. Following Reggie Miller and his battles with both the New York Knicks and superfan Spike Lee. Ricky Williams’ bizarre departure from the NFL in 2004. Fernando Venezuela taking Major League Baseball by storm. Marion Jones getting busted for PED use. The Boston Red Sox coming back from a 3-0 deficit to knock off the rival New York Yankees and eventually win the World Series in 2004. Steve Bartman becoming the latest example of the Chicago Cubs’ curse. These are all stories that I thought I knew well…until I watched these documentaries. Some of my favorite 30 for 30 specials are stories that I actually knew nothing about because I never really cared about the respective sports. Two tennis-themed episodes come to mind in this regard. Though I enjoy playing tennis, I don’t exactly follow it closely. And I certainly didn’t follow professional tennis at all growing up. So when I watched the 30 for 30 about Renee Richards, born a man before undergoing a sex change operation and playing professional women’s tennis, my mind was blown. One of my favorite in the series was Unmatched, the story of the rivalry and deep friendship between tennis
legends Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova. I consider myself to be a better sports fan (and perhaps even a better person, if that’s not too dramatic) for having watched these. The thing about this series is that they’re all good. I’ve watched dozens of them and have been totally engrossed in each one. Some of funny. Some are sad. All of deeply researched and well produced. As I scan through the list of all the 30 for 30, there are still a number of them that I must get watched. I don’t care about NASCAR even a little bit. I’ve never understood America’s passion with auto racing, but Tim Richmond’s story has me hooked with just the one-line description. I don’t care about horse racing, either, but the tale of Charasmatic’s run at the Triple Crown in 1999 would surely be worth the watch. A point-shaving scandal that rocked Boston College is explored in Playing for the Mob. The story about brothers Livan and Orlando Hernandez’s escape from Cuba to play baseball in the United States is sure to be
captivating. Of Miracles and Men just aired on Feb. 8 and will hopefully be on Netflix before too long. It’s the story of the Miracle On Ice from the point of view of the defeated Soviet team. What a fantastic idea for a documentary. Anyone that has ever seen Miracle should watch this. The next film announced in the series is I Hate Christian Laettner, which examines that life and career of college basketball star Christian Laettner and the intense hatred many fans still feel towards him. If you can’t tell, I’m totally gushing about this series. Do yourself a favor and watch as many of them as you can. They’re that good and you won’t be disappointed. After you’re done. Shoot me an email and tell me which ones were your favorites. I’d love to hear your opinions. Stefan Gestwicki is the sports editor of the Chautauqua Star.

Pulling Adam, continued from page 26 “I won one match right handed and lost two,” Wilmot said. “That was really cool. It was my first pro tournament with national-level pullers.” In March of 2014, Wilmot went up to Toronto for the Mike Gould Classic, the biggest tournament in Canada. Here, he earned his first tournament win, bringing home first place in the 154-pound right-hand division. “I got a nice big European-style cup for coming in first,” he noted. “My next tournament was in Las Vegas,” Wilmot continued. “I flew out for the WAL qualifier. That was the biggest tournament I had seen in my life. There were over 400 guys competing. All the stars of arm wrestling were there.” Wilmot’s most recent foray into the sport was hosting a tournament right here in Dunkirk at the First Ward Falcons Club in late January. “I started planning on doing it back in November, but then I got invited to the WAL Championship down in New Orleans,” Wilmot explained. “I took a week off to go and do that. I then had two weeks between that and the tournament to really get things going. It was hectic to say the least.” Even with a pretty bad ice storm that weekend, Wilmot’s tournament drew 38 pro entrants, 18 in the amateur class and eight women, including a woman who drove in from New York City for the event. “Arm wresters usually travel pretty well,” Wilmot noted. “I was trying to draw guys from all over. But we had two local guys enter. Joel Rivera entered the 175-pound right-hand amateur class and took second place. He really impressed a lot of people there. I’m going to have to grab him and take him to a couple practices. We’ll get him trained up and see how far he wants to take it. “Nick Whitfield jumped right into the 226pound super heavyweight class right handed. I was trying to tell him to try the amateur first. I
Wilmot is also hoping he’s getting into the sport just at the right time, as television shows such as Arms Wars draw over 10 million viewers each week over in the United Kingdom. The sport is hugely popular over in Russia, Ukraine, Poland and other Eastern European countries. And now it might just be taking off in the United States as ESPN has picked up the rights. On Friday, Feb. 13 at 11 p.m. on ESPN2, the WAL Championship will be shown. “It hasn’t gotten the commercial appeal that it should,” Wilmot commented. “But it will once ESPN gets a hold of it. They’re making it easier to follow. You’ll be able to develop a little bit of fandom and root for certain guys. I think ESPN did a really good job with the way they shot it. I doubt they’ll show any of my matches, but you’ll probably see me in the background.” So what does the future hold for Wilmot in regards to his new-found love and success in arm wrestling? “Within the next year I’d really like to go back to Nationals and get a gold medal,” he said. “I Adam Wilmot (right) hosted his own arm wrestling took bronze this time.

Who would have thought that I’d have been all over with,” Wilmot said. “John Brzenk is obviously the country in the last year for arm wrestling? everyone’s idol in arm wrestling.

Riddell Blazed The Ski Trail In Western New York Contributed Article Chautauqua Sports Hall Of Fame
From an accomplished athlete in his younger years to one of the trailblazers in the organization of Peek’n Peak Ski Center in the early 1960s, Ramsey Riddell’s impact was felt for decades. After completing his military service with the Royal Canadian Naval Reserve-Merchant Navy Association, Riddell moved to the area from Montreal in October 1948 and soon became a naturalized citizen. In his earlier years he owned and operated a farm in Panama. After the sale of his farm, Riddell worked as a signal specialist for Conrail Railroad for many years. As a young man, he was a member of the Canadian Ski Jumping
Team in Montreal, entering his first competition in 1929 at the age of 9. Both he and his brothers were excellent jumpers. Riddell was off jumping somewhere each
weekend until World War II. At Lake Placid, he jumped against Art Devlin and Torger Tokle, two of the world's best from the United States. Among his triumphs were the Eastern Canadian Championship, the Montreal City and District crowns and the Laurentian Zone Championship. He also played rugby, football and hockey. Riddell became involved in the organization of the Peek'n Peak Ski Center in 1962 and also served on the board of directors at Peek'n Peak for several years. His personal contributions and accomplishments are many, including: founder of the Peek'n Peak Ski Patrol and Patrol Director until 1989; a key man for Peek'n Peak in building the good people-to-people relationship necessary between a ski patrol and its customers; and cited as the Eastern Division
Patroller of the National Ski Patrol System Inc. for 1982. Riddell was also chosen out of more than 8,000 ski patrollers in the Eastern Division; and received recognition for his invention of a fruit ladder that was used for chair lift evacuation, which was acclaimed the safest and fastest method at that time. Many of the areas in the Northeast ski country adopted the use of this device. Riddell organized and directed many first aid and refresher courses annually for his patrollers and visiting patrollers, and taught first aid courses for the fire department as well. Riddell’s sports involvement wasn’t limited to skiing. He also assisted with the organization of the first Midget Football team in the area and played hockey on a local Jamestown team.

part of any success we have here, I believe. He plays hard, he plays in traffic. He doesn't play a perimeter game. He plays the game right.'' Kane is expected to be ready for training camp. The fourth overall draft pick in 2009 was Winnipeg's biggest trade chip. The 6-2, 195pound winger had 10 goals and 12 points in 37 games this season. Myers, 25, was the league's top rookie in 2010 and has played in 365 games for Buffalo since being drafted 12th overall in 2008. He's recorded 151 points in six seasons and is under contract through the 2018-19 season. Stafford, 29, has scored 145 goals and 177 assists in nine seasons with the Sabres, and will allow Winnipeg to move Dustin Byfuglien back to his
natural position of defense. He's an unrestricted free agent after the season. Armia, Lemieux and the first-round pick can be assets for Winnipeg ahead of the March 12 trade deadline, or work as chips for their future. Murray said he knew getting Kane would be expensive. ''Either you're in and you know you're going to play a big price, or you're out,'' Murray said. ''As of today, we're in.'' Buffalo offsets the loss of Myers with Bogosian, a sixfoot-three defender with 40 goals and 87 points in 393 career games. ''It's not an easy thing to have to include someone like Zach,'' Cheveldayoff said. ''I can't speak for him but I think it will be exciting for
him. He's from upstate New York and I think it will be an opportunity for him to be part of a growing organization.'' Bogosian is signed through the 2018-19 season, and Kane is under contract through 2017-18. The Sabres are in the midst of a long rebuilding process after spending the past few seasons purging high-priced players and veterans. A year ago, they traded goalie Ryan Miller and captain Steve Ott to St. Louis, and earlier in the season dealt leading scorer Thomas Vanek to the New York Islanders. Later Wednesday, the Sabres announced they traded goalies with Dallas, sending Jhonas Enroth to the Stars in exchange for Anders Lindback and a conditional third-round pick in 2016.

Knight Of The Card Table Reviews: Five Tribes
Sir Melvin Pistachio Knight of the Card Table
Mancala is one of the most time-tested, dare I say ancient games in existence. If you’re not familiar with the name, you’ve almost surely at least seen the game in stores. It’s the game with the wooden boards, cupped out trays and a bunch of little “gems” that players move around the board in a counter-clockwise direction. The goal of the game is simply to get more gems in your scoring tray than the opposing player gets in theirs. It’s a simple, abstract, yet brilliant design. That mechanism isn’t seen in modern board gaming much. Well, until Five Tribes was released at GenCon this past summer. Game reviewers were going bonkers about this game. Five Tribes was being praised for being innovative, deep, beautiful and fun. I bought into the hype and ordered a copy just as soon as I could. I’ve been burned by hype before. So was this as good a game as I was hoping? Let’s take a
closer look. BACKGROUND Five Tribes is a game by one of my favorite designers, Bruno Cathala. He was the brains behind such amazing titles such as Shadows Over Camelot and Cyclades, among others. It was published by Days Of Wonder in 2014. It plays 2-4 players and suggested ages are 13 and up. Younger players probably could play, but would surely have a hard time competing. Playing time is listed at 60 minutes, but it’s very group dependent. Two players can knock it out in 30-40 minutes, but four players could push 90 probably. INTRODUCTION The theme of the game is based in the Arabian Nights era with players vying to become the Sultan’s right-hand man or something. The game is pretty abstract, really. The name Five Tribes is because there are five colors of meeple that are spread all over the board that players are trying to reunite with like colors to accomplish special powers. The game is very much a pointsalad kind of game. Everything you do gets you points in some fashion. Whichever player ends the game with the most points is the winner. MECHANICS The setup for the game is always unique. There are 30 location tiles that are shuffled and set up to create
two points at the end of the game. Can be used to buy djinn during the game. Yellow (viziers): Worth one point at the end of the game. Players get a 10-point bonus for each player they end the game with more elders than. Blue (builders): This one is complicated without seeing the tiles, but when you pick up builders, you multiply the number of meeple you pick up times the number of adjacent a random 6x5 playthem, that first player blue location tiles and ing board. Then the slides down and will take that many ducats. meeple, which come in end up going last. The five colors (red, yellow, intriguing part of this is Green (merchants): For green, blue, white), that players are bidding every merchant picked up, you take that many are randomly pulled coins for this. These from a bag and three coins are victory points cards from beginning are placed on each at the end of the game, of the market (this will make more sense in a of the location tiles. so you’re essentially minute). Players take one of the trying to make sure player colors, including your turn is worth the Red (assassin): When camels and turn order victory points you’re assassins are picked pieces (which look like giving up to go first, up, another meeple the tower that almost second, etc. on the board can be crushes Aladdin during Once turn order is assassinated.

These we’re ready to go. meeple you drop has tiles abilities are: The first exciting part to land on a tile with Market: There are two of the game is bidding at least one of the same types of market tiles. for turn order. There’s color already there. Depending on the tile, a bidding track. Players When you drop that players can either buy can bid 0, 1, 3, 5, 8, final meeple, you’ll take one of the first three 12, or 18 for the right all of that color off the cards, or two of the first to go first. There are board and activate the six. Remember that the actually three zero meeple’s special ability market tiles are laid out spots. If a player bids as followed: in a straight line so it’s zero and then another easy to determine what White (elders): Worth player bids zero after the beginning of the
line is. Village: When a player ends here, a palace token is placed on the tile. This isn’t optional. Oasis: When a player ends here, a palm tree token is placed on the tile. This isn’t optional. Sacred place: When a player ends here, they have the option of purchasing a djinn from those available. The cost is always one slave card (one of the cards from the market) and either another slave card or a white elder meeple. If the meeples removed completely empties the tile, the player can put one of their colored camels on the tile. Each tile is worth a number of points that will count at the end of the game. So that’s essentially the game. When the last player takes their turn, the round ends and the bidding begins again. So it’s possible for a player to get back-toback turns if they go last in one round and then first in another. This is a great way to set up some powerful combinations. The game ends when one of two things happen. Either there will be no more legal moves on the board or a player will place their last camel onto a tile. At the end of the game, scoring happens. It’s an relatively deep process compared to a lot of games, but not complicated at all. And there’s Continued on pg 33

Devils Come Through In Must-Win Game Contributed Article FSU Sports Information Dept.
A furious second-half scoring pace and 24 second-half points from Alexis Cheatham (Lockport, N.Y. / Lockport) resulted in a 79-76 Fredonia victory over Brockport in women's basketball on Tuesday. Cheatham, who was held scoreless in the first half, propelled the Devils to a 59-point second half. Brockport scored 50 in the final frame. Sabrina Macaulay (Newark, N.Y.
/ Newark) added 19 points and six rebounds. Jacque Law (Machias, N.Y. / Pioneer) and Sammy Villarini (Hamburg, N.Y. / Hamburg) came off the bench to score 13 and 11 points, respectively. The duo also had five assists apiece. The halftime score was a mere 2620. Brockport led most of the first half and the first 6:16 of the second half. With Brockport up 42-38, Fredonia ran off 10-straight points to take a 48-42 lead. Cheatham started the run with a three pointer, Macaulay
converted a layup and Law sank a three. Macaulay added another layup to cap the run. From there, the Devils held the lead the balance of the game, although Brockport pulled within two points in the closing seconds. For Brockport (5-15 overall, 3-10 SUNYAC), Olivia Suhr had 34 points, 20 of them coming in the second half. Erin Cunningham added 15 and Hannah Rehbaum had 11. With the win, the Devils improve
to 6-9 in the SUNYAC. They are percentage points behind Plattsburgh, who is 6-7, for the sixth-andfinal playoff spot. Fredonia owns the tiebreaker over Plattsburgh, having swept them in both games this season. Fredonia stands at 9-12 overall. Tuesday was also the final home contest for a pair of seniors. Kaylyn Billups (Buffalo, N.Y. / CSAT) and Marissa Cussins (Corning, N.Y. / Corning) played their final home game.
Five Tribes Review, continued from page 32 a nice little scorecard to keep track of everything. Ducats that players have in front of them are simply worth one point each. Djinn are each worth their printed points. Likewise, tiles with camels are worth their printed points. Each palace token is worth five points to whichever player has their camel on that tile. Similarly, each palm tree token is worth three points to whichever player has their camel on that tile. Viziers are worth two points each. Elders are worth one point each. Then market cards are counted. There are nine different resource
cards from the market and points are scored depending on how many different cards a player has. If a player has just one, they get one point. Two different cards is worth three points. Three different cards is worth seven points. It goes up and up until nine different is worth 60 points. That’s a ton of points, in case that’s not clear. FINAL THOUGHTS Days Of Wonder is known for publishing games that are really aimed at getting non-gamers introduced to the hobby board gaming world. Games like Ticket To Ride and Small World are great games, but not exactly

deep. Five Tribes is different. This is a gamer’s game. And frankly, I love it. The two-player experience got panned pretty thoroughly when the game was first released, but Lady Pistachio and myself and have played a few times now and I think I might prefer it with two. Each player gets two pawns per turn/bid phase, so it’s very easy to set yourself up for back-to-back turns. It takes away the drama of the bidding a little bit, but it makes the game far more strategic trying to leave yourself a power second move. As in all of DOW’s games, the component
quality is exceptional. The camels, palm trees and palaces are nice and chunky. The location tiles are heavy, thick cardboard that will surely hold up over time. The market cards are nice card stock. Perhaps my only complaint is that the 1 and 5 ducat tokens only have the number on one side. The opposite side is the same on both denominations, making it impossible to tell the difference if they get flipped. Why not just have the number printed on both sides? Why not have them be two different colors or sizes? A small problem, but it would have been a simple one to fix.

The other common complaint, though not from my experience, is that the game lends itself to analysis paralysis. Trying to find the optimal move can just fry some people’s brains. But as with most pointsalad games, there’s really not many terrible moves. Anything you do is going to get you points. Some people hate that, but I think it’s a lot of fun. You never really know who is going to win until the final tally. TO OWN OR NOT TO OWN I am in love with this game. I can’t envision a situation where it ever leaves my collection.
It’s totally unique and scales well with 2, 3 or 4 players. I would play it any time someone suggests it. Yet, I’m hesitant to tell just anyone to buy it because it’s definitely a gamer’s game. If you’re new to the hobby, you might want to start with something else. But if you’re a gamer that hasn’t tried this yet, move it to the top of your list. Fantastic game.

Marrone surprisingly opted out of his contract on New Year's Eve, walking away with two years remaining on a four-year deal. (AP Photo/Marcio Jose Sanchez, File)
''Really, that's as simple as it is.'' It might not be that clear-cut. Marrone offered little insight into why he wanted out or why he sent a mass text to his players announcing his decision. Most outsiders assume he expected to get another head-coaching job, and when it didn't happen, he settled for a position gig with the rebuilding Jaguars. Marrone stepped down after leading the Bills to a 9-7 record in 2014. It was the team's first winning season since 2004. The opt-out clause in Marrone's contract went into effect after Terry Pegula and wife Kim bought the team in October. ''Everyone understood the situation,'' he said. Not everyone seemed to agree, though. Terry Pegula said he was ''shocked'' by Marrone's abrupt departure. Safety Aaron Williams blasted Marrone in a tweet, posting ''Lost all respect!!'' Running back Fred Jackson referred to Ryan as ''an upgrade'' at coach and told a Buffalo
radio station that Marrone's departure felt like he ''got punched in the stomach.'' And Ryan said during his introductory news conference that the Bills deserve to have a loyal coach - a clear shot at Marrone. And former Syracuse assistant Bob Casullo, who worked under Marrone in 2009 and part of 2010, ripped his former on radio. ''Self-centered, selfish, greedy,'' Casullo said of Marrone on ESPN Syracuse. ''You're re-shuffl ing an egomaniac, less than .500 coach.'' Marrone called Casullo's comments spiteful. ''The former coach was someone that I had to let go, that I've worked with twice,'' Marrone said. ''To say that I didn't expect something like that to happen would be naive on my part. I think that sometimes when you have to make decisions that better whatever situation you're in and you're in that role, sometimes when you have to move on from people, they look to get you back. I'm not like that so I really wouldn't understand why someone would do that.''

Bills Make incognito Signing Official Contributed Article AP Sports
Richie Incognito is getting another chance in the NFL. The Buffalo Bills signed the nine-year veteran guard on Monday, providing a second opportunity after his career was derailed by the Miami Dolphins' bullying scandal in 2013. It will be Incognito's second stint with Buffalo; he started three games with the Bills in 2009. ''I personally met with Richie regarding an opportunity to earn a spot on the Buffalo Bills roster,'' Bills owner Terry Pegula said in a statement, adding that general manager Doug Whaley, new coach Rex Ryan and Pegula's coowner, wife Kim, also spoke with Incognito. ''Obviously, we all discussed Richie's past experience in the NCAA and NFL. ''We are convinced that Richie is prepared to move forward and has and will continue to take the necessary steps to improve himself as a person and a teammate.
In this Sunday, Dec. 23, 2012 file photo, Miami Dolphins guard Richie Incognito (68) looks on during the first half of an NFL football game against the Buffalo Bills in Miami.

Following discussion with the rest of the coaching staff, we as an organization will provide him with the opportunity to do so.'' The 6-foot-3, 319-pound Incognito was a free agent
got news?
and had been out of football since being suspended and missing the final eight games of 2013. The discipline came after an NFL investigation determined Incognito and two other Dolphins offensive
linemen persistently harassed teammate Jonathan Martin, who left the team. Martin spent last season with San Francisco. The Bills went through numerous starting guards last season. Ryan, coincidentally, used the word ''bully'' in vowing he wanted to build a tough team, during his introductory news conference in Buffalo. ''We're going to build a bully and we're going to see if you're going to play us for 60 minutes,'' Ryan had said. Incognito had established a reputation for having a mean streak even before the bullying scandal. Bills defensive tackle Marcell Dareus once called Incognito ''the dirtiest player in the NFL,'' following a game against the Dolphins. Several teams considered signing Incognito last season before turning elsewhere. That included the Buccaneers in August, when coach Lovie Smith confirmed he planned to meet with Incognito to determine if the player was a good fit for Tampa Bay. ''If you know my history, I do
believe in second chances,'' Smith had said. ''To me, nobody should have a death sentence.'' A year ago, Incognito received unspecified treatment in the aftermath of the scandal. In March, after his contract expired, Incognito posted messages on his Twitter account saying he was looking forward to ''getting back to work ASAP.'' After a college career at Nebraska marked by several fights and suspensions, Incognito was selected by St. Louis in the third round of the 2005 draft. He failed to sign a contract with the Rams until Week 3 of his rookie season, and then missed the rest of the year after being placed on the team's nonfootball injury list. He spent the next three-plus seasons in St. Louis before wearing out his welcome. The Rams placed him on waivers and he was claimed by Buffalo. He played three games with the Bills, but was not re-signed. Overall, he has appeared in 102 games.

Senators Slips Past Sabres Behind Lehner’s 35 Saves Ottawa Senators goaltender Robin Lehner kept it short and sweet in describing his team's 2-1 win over the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday night. ''Good first, bad second, good third,'' he said. Lehner made 21 of his 35 saves in the second period, and Milan Michalek and Erik Karlsson scored as Ottawa snapped a three-game skid. ''We went from having one of our best periods in the first to just a terrible second period,'' said Kyle Turris, who had an assist in the win. ''(Lehner) stood on his head and kept us in it. We can't let that happen.'' Ottawa managed just four shots in a turnoverabundant second period, but Lehner withstood Buffalo's best attack. He was aided when Mike Weber's goal was disallowed due to incidental goaltender interference from Marcus Foligno. ''I couldn't take ice,'' Lehner said. ''He stood right in front. I had my skate on the post and still his pants were right in my face.'' Tyler Myers scored Buffalo's goal as the Sabres dropped to 1-8 in their past nine home games. Buffalo has the fewest standings points in the NHL with 35. The Sabres beat Lehner on a third-period power play. With Eric Gryba in the box for elbowing, Myers' point shot found its way through a maze of bodies and past a screened Lehner at 5:08. ''If we keep playing like we did in the second and third I think we'll be rewarded,'' Myers said. ''Our first period was not very good at all. We didn't look engaged.'' The tie was broken as Jhonas Enroth gave up a big rebound on Patrick Wiercoch's shot and Michalek slapped it into the goal.

Tyler Ennis rang a wrist shot off the crossbar in a good late chance for the Sabres. ''A few breaks today and that's nice,'' Lehner said. ''Haven't seen those in a while. Feels good.'' Ottawa's first sustained pressure came five minutes into the game, and Sabres defenseman Josh Gorges batted an airborne puck out of danger as it reached the goal line. The Sabres received Bronx cheers midway through the period when Zemgus Girgensons' shot was caught by Lehner for Buffalo's second shot of the game and first since the opening moments. ''I just felt the first period, the first 10 minutes particularly, we weren't in the play at all,'' Sabres coach Ted Nolan said. ''We weren't skating. We weren't working, winning the battles.'' A tripping penalty against Brian Gionta gave

Ottawa the first power play of the game, and the Senators wasted little time converting the chance. Karlsson's slap shot from the point took a turn off Girgensons' stick and beat Enroth to give the Senators at 1-0 lead at 12:18 of the first. ''We had real good jump in the first and Buffalo was a little bit flat,'' Ottawa coach Dave Cameron said. Weber slid a pass to give Ennis a shot on Lehner late in the period, and then had a shot stopped by the Senators' goalie at 16:34. Lehner made a save on Patrick Kaleta early in the second period, catching the puck with the inside of his blocker pad. He then made a pointblank save on Nikita Zadorov as the Sabres took the first 15 shots of the period. Buffalo nearly tied it on shot No. 14, when Myers' deflected shot skittered to a stop inside the right post before being cleared away. Then came Weber's disallowed goal.
