November 15, 2013 Chautauqua Star

By Katy WiseContributing Writer

Although the movie industry has only grown over time, the experi-ence of going to an old fashioned theatre can never be duplicated by the typical movie theatres of this generation. Everybody can remember their fi rst movie in a theatre, no matter their age. It’s a memorable occasion and some-what of a cultural rite-of-passage.Those native to the Chautauqua county area may be able to recall ‘The Grand Theatre’ which was once located on the corner of North Portage Street and Main Street in Westfi eld.One former patron of this old theatre, Pat Locke, said “I re-member seeing ‘On The Water-front’ there as a teenager, it was my fi rst time at the theatre.”The Grand occupied that cor-ner for well over 60 years, with

westfi eld’s Grand theatre

By Scott WiseEditor

With the fl akes beginning to fl y, the butterball turkeys in the freezer and the Black Friday ads hitting the web, there’s no ques-tion - the holiday season is upon us.We all have our yearly tradi-tions; who gets to cut the turkey, when the family goes to get their Christmas tree, and the Decem-ber 25 present-opening cycle, just to name a few. In our fresh and growing family, we’ve got some traditions that have just been birthed, last year and even plans for new ones this year, that we’re excited to make part of the holidays.

CHAUTAUQUA STARFRIDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 2013 3

But more than the regu-lar traditions, I want to encourage you (and I’m encouraging myself!) to try something new this season.Our front-page story this week features 12 local events, activities or places that are special to the holi-days in Western New York. They tie into this week’s insert, “Home for the Holi-days.” My goal behind the insert was giving people a reason to see that they can either stay in Chautauqua County, or bring their fam-ily back to the area.This year, my goal is to try at least one thing off that list of 12 that I’ve never done before (which

shouldn’t be hard, I think the only I’ve actually done is the sleigh ride at Chau-tauqua).See, I’m big on community. I’m big on this region. In my first commentary, back in 2010, I wrote about how I couldn’t understand why (aside from economics) so many of my graduating class would want to ‘get out of Dodge.’ Dodge, or at least our little corner of New York State, has so much to offer. Sure, we have to drive just under an hour to get to a bigger city, but I think we’re all better off for it. Cities, statistically, are filled with people far less happy than those in suburbia and rural areas.Back to the story - trying something new. I think one reason (certainly not the only reason or the most important reason) that so many get frustrated with life is because its abil-ity to become incessantly mundane. Experiencing the same thing, every day, in different clothes, week in and week out can be, for lack of a better word,

nauseating.I challenge you this season- get out and try something new, even if it’s something small. This year, we’re starting a tradition of driv-ing around on Christmas Eve with our boys admir-ing Christmas lights. We’re also officially making Black Friday our ‘tree day,’ going up the hill to chop down the tree and bring it home to celebrate. Many of the items that Dan Myer presented cost little to no money, so don’t let that stop you. There are festi-vals, craft shows, special trips and places for the whole family that you can do one Saturday this year, but they’ll form memories in you and your kids that will last a lifetime.Growing up, my parents and I would always head up to Niagara Falls for the Festival of Lights. Now, it’s at the fairgrounds, and far less than what it used to be. But I can say this- I looked more forward to the festival of lights than I did Christmas itself. Spending a few nights in a

hotel overlooking the falls, walking around and seeing the lights decorating every building in the area, and the vast displays that deco-rated both sides of the river were enough to put any kid in his dream world. I remember this annual trip, which probably cost under $500 when all was said and done, more than I remem-ber most Christmases. There’s something about family, there’s something about being together with those we love that jogs our memory. It must be a certain chemical that is released, causing those memories to become more vivid than others. Or, we were just loved enough by a Father to be created to cherish family times in such a way. This year, if you don’t have any new family traditions, make some. Visit a new place, try a new event or make a different kind of hot cocoa. Whether you have young kids, old kids or no kids- do it for you. You deserve a holiday that you can look back on warmly.

Dear Pastor, the other day in church I heard the expression, “walk-ing in love.” What does this saying mean?Last week we introduced the topic of “walking in love.” We fi rst examined the meaning of love as used

in the Bible including the well known scripture, John 3:16, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but will have everlasting life.” We also introduced 1 Corinthians 13 as “the love chapter” and will utilize these scriptures though out this study. This week we’ll continue to explore God’s Word on the subject of love and look at the importance of love in a Christian’s life. How do we know that love is important to God? Because He says so in His Word! In the New Testa-ment, Jesus only gave one commandment, “This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you” ( John 15:12). He didn’t just

command it, Jesus demon-strated God’s love through-out His time on the earth to everybody He taught, healed, and walked with on a daily basis. He also gave us the boundaries for “how much” love when He said, “There is no greater love in mankind than when a man lays down His life for his friend” ( John 15:13). Jesus didn’t just tell us about love…He demonstrated His Own commandment when He chose to go to the cross and “set the bar” for absolute love! Another aspect of the importance of love is that it forms the very foundation of our faith and is our wit-ness to the world. We are called God’s ambassadors to the world (2 Corinthians 5:20). According to the dictionary, ambassadors

are called to represent the interests of their affi liated group and form a com-munication “bridge” to those “outside.” What kind of ambassadors would we be if we were unable to represent the Word of God and demonstrate His love to those in the world? Jesus said that it’s our love for one another that identi-fi es us to the world as His disciples ( John 13:34). Besides listing the qualities of love (which we’ll discuss in another column), the whole point of 1 Corinthi-ans 13 is to say that love’s the greatest “ingredient” in our life with Christ; “But now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love” (1 Corin-thians 13:13)!

the weekly wordChrist Alone is Suffi cient

For centuries, mankind has been trying to fi ll the spiritual void in their hearts with substance that will never satisfy. People crave money only to learn someone else has more. People look for fame only to learn that popular-ity doesn’t hold when you make a mistake. People crave substances only to learn that the high goes away and leaves a greater empti-ness in its wake. People think that a relationship will complete their lives only to learn that everyone is selfi sh at times. Jewelry will lose its shine, new cars become old ones, and houses always need repair. Boats are hard work and every vacation comes to an end. If you are looking for those things to be the center of your joy you will

fi nd thorns.Oh how we could teach people to avoid certain heartbreak if we could get them to value the Gift of Heaven. When I say Gift of Heaven I am speaking of Jesus Christ. Many people are ignor-ing Him and trusting in some kind of moth eaten morality to get them into Heaven. Remember: Heaven is God’s Throne Room and everyone who enters will have to reckon with the One seated next to Him. Philippians 2:9-11 says, “Wherefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him a Name which is above every Name. That at the Name of Jesus EVERY knee will bow…and that EVERY tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.” Think of how that day will come.

People who mocked Christians will be thrust in front of the Christian God. They will realize that glorifying Christ was the only way to glorify the Almighty. They will begin to dig deep into their memories of how at some time they impersonated some Christian value of kindness or charity. They will dig for those memories like a businessman scrambling to pro-duce receipts at a tax audit. They will produce times of generosity and fairness. They will claim to be without murder. Sooner or later the memories will run dry. If you could be generous with your money to earn a seat on Heaven’s fl oor, when would you know if you gave enough? What if there was one more dollar to give? Maybe fairness can catapult you in. But what about the time

you cheated? What about the time you called in sick just to take a day off ? Was that fair? Maybe kindness will work. What about the people who are more kind then you? They will destroy the grading curve for you. You won’t survive a grading curve. Good thing Jesus destroyed it.Stop wasting precious time. Christ alone is suffi cient for a new life. I am so glad that my eternity is not based on my merit. My joy is not in this world. I called upon Jesus to save me. Then living a life pleasing to Him is the only contentment that exists. Call me sometime at Family Church. I would be happy to talk to you about a new life with Jesus.

Prendergast Library will offer a program at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 20, called Every Child Ready to Read @ your Library. Staff member Joanna So-rensen will discuss how the library supports parents’ efforts to help children learn to describe events, show an interest in books, know the names of things,

hear the smaller sounds within words, recognize letters, and follow words on a page. Researchers label the six key skills as narrative skills, print motivation, vocabu-lary, phonological aware-ness, letter knowledge and print awareness. “Reading to children helps develop these skills, and the earlier parents start the better,” Ms. Sorensen said. Those attending will hear

about library books, pro-grams and other resources that help prepare children for school and get them ready to become successful readers. The next parent education program will be Personal Budgeting Simplified at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 11, when Bruce Gleason will explain how a budget works and how to create and stick to one.“Budgeting does not have to be complicated. It just needs to be tackled one step at a time,” he said.A financial representative in Jamestown who works at Young Tax Service, Gleason was previously employed for 10 years as branch manager at a local bank with a focus on mort-gages and personal loans.At 7 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 18, Renee Shutters, a

Feingold volunteer-parent advocate, will talk about learning, health and be-havior problems that begin in the grocery cart. More information is available at www.feingold.org. “The brand of ice cream, cookie, and potato chip you select could have a direct effect on behavior, health, and ability to learn for you or your children,” she said. Another parent education opportunity will be offered at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 22, on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) with Ryan M.

On a rain swept Satur-day afternoon, 14 SUNY Fredonia students left their comfortable lodgings to spend time and energy at Greystone Nature Preserve.

The purpose of their visit was to nurture the thirty trees planted by the Envi-ronmental Literature class of 2011. The “final exam” of this class, after much reading and writing and discussing many aspects of environmental literature,

was that each member planted a tree. Each tree was chosen by a student, based on its characteristics and appeal.This experiential aspect of the class gave the learn-ing a visceral significance. After two years growth the

trees needed some TLC. This was provided on the Community Day of Ser-vice, which occurred on Nov. 2. It required raking back weeds and grass roots from the base of each tree, then laying a protective layer of newspaper and

finally a thick layer of wood chip mulch.Following the cold and wet outdoor event, students were rewarded with home-made pies and desserts by Dr. Christina Jarvis, cam-pus liaison and hot bever-ages were served by Diane

Clark and Bill Moran of Greystone Nature Preserve. With the care and atten-tion given to the trees, it is hoped that one class of students will support another for the greening and enhancement of our natural world.

Would you like to have a year’s worth of truly awe-some natural history oppor-tunities you could experi-ence? Or would you simply like to fi nd the perfect gift

for that impossible-to-buy-for person on your holiday shopping list?Either way, the Audubon Center & Sanctuary has just what you need: their 2014 Bucket List Calendar of 12 Local Natural Events. Note: A bucket list -- if you’re not familiar with the term-- is

a list of things you want to experience before you “kick the bucket.” Audubon Senior Naturalist Jeff Tome, who spearheaded the calendar’s creation, ex-plained that, “Every month in the calendar has a once in a lifetime opportunity to see something amazing. If the

photo is of a bull elk bugling, there will be a program so that you can journey into Central Pennsylvania and see the elk. If the photo is of a snipe, we’ll make sure you get to go on a snipe hunt that month. Have you ever seen 40,000 purple martins fl ying into a roost? If not, we’ll make sure you do!”The calendar is also full of natural events that happen every year, noting when the warbler migration is at its peak, when the tundra swans migrate through the area, and when to put out and pull in bird feeders. It is a great way to get more in tune with what is happen-ing in the natural world and a fun way to try some new things. The Bucket List Calendar can be viewed at the Audu-bon Center and Sanctuary. Nov. 30, 2013, is the dead-line for ordering by calling (716) 569-2345 or visiting www.jamestownaudubon.org and clicking on “Natu-ral History Calendar” in the sidebar under Fundraisers. Cost is $20 or $18 for Friends of the Nature Cen-ter. Calendars can be picked up at the Center beginning

December 9 or shipped any-where in the United Stated for $5 per calendar. Proceeds from calendar sales benefi t Audubon’s environ-mental education programs, buildings and trails. When you pick up your calendar, you can also check out the many holiday gift possibilities at Audubon’s Blue Heron Gift Shop, from fi eld guides to insect nets to Conewango Blend birdseed specially formulated for our local feathered friends. Indoor folks will love the books, puzzles, shirts, and jewelry as well as the great

selection of children’s books, toys and stocking stuff ers. The Audubon Center & Sanctuary is at 1600 River-side Road, one-quarter mile east of Route 62 between Jamestown, New York, and Warren, Pennsylvania. Na-ture Center and Blue Heron Gift Shop hours are Monday and Saturday 10 a.m.-4:30 p.m., and Sunday 1-4:30 p.m. Bald eagle viewing and trails are open dawn to dusk daily.

The Kiwanis Club of Jamestown has donated a $2,500 piece of playground equipment to the Lillian Dickson Park. The new piece of equipment, known as a Flywheel™ Spinner, will be installed in early 2014 when new handicap-accessible preschool equip-ment will also be installed at the park.Friends and neighbors of the park have been fund-raising for new playground equipment for over a year and a half. Nearly $13,000 has been raised toward the $30,000 goal. “When we heard about the LDP playground project, the Jamestown Kiwanis Club entered a national contest to win the Flywheel for the park,” said Wendy Wilcox, Kiwanis Immedi-ate Past President. “To win we had to rally our mem-bers and other community supporters to vote for the Lillian Dickson Park proj-ect as most deserving and we won! We’re delighted

that the equipment will go to LDP.” The original impetus for park improvements came from Creating Healthy Places to Live, Work, and Play (“CHP”), a project funded by the New York State Department of Health and administered by the Chautauqua County Health Network. CHP has been supporting the LDP neighborhood eff ort as part of its overall program objectives to promote more active lifestyles and access to healthy food.The LDP volunteers and CHP have made signifi cant strides last year to stabi-lize the park and increase its use. A Neighborhood Watch group was formed and evening activities for kids were organized. A Zumba exercise class was staged in the park this fall with the help of the YMCA. Improvements at the park have been made during the last two Hands On Jamestown events or-ganized by the Jamestown Renaissance Corporation. National Night Out cel-

ebrations have been staged in the park the last two summers. And CHP has contributed over $11,000 to park improvements includ-ing benches, trash cans, bike racks, a climbing wall and fall zone materials.“We’ve made great strides in the last year to make the park a great family space and the Flywheel will add to our momentum,” said David Reinhardt, LDP Chairman and neighbor. “The Kiwanis Club is great partner to LDP and many other worthwhile causes they support in our com-munity.”“The city is grateful for the assistance neighbors and community organizations have put forth to refurbish the Lillian Dickson Park,” said Mayor Sam Teresi. “When citizens partner with their city government, great things can be accom-plished. And as a Kiwan-ian, I’m doubly pleased about the Flywheel contri-bution.”Located on Falconer St. be-tween Sturges and Bowen, the City Park is the former

site of School #10 and is named in honor of the school’s fi rst principal, Lil-lian Dickson, who served from 1893 until 1933. Tax-deductible contribu-tions to the LDP project

can still be made to the Lil-lian Dickson Park Non-En-dowed Fund at the Chau-tauqua Region Community Foundation, 418 Spring St., Jamestown NY 14701 or on line at www.crcfonline.org.

By Katy WiseContributing Writer

It’s that time of year again. That time of year where we are told by every ‘Facebook’ post, magazine ad and commercial that we need to be thankful, and how we should boy-cott any holiday shopping that coincides with a tradi-tional holiday.Once again, I am re-minded that I am not as thankful as I could be, and that there are people elsewhere in the world that are far worse off than me. Somehow this line of thought has turned into the belief that making myself live in poverty will somehow change the way that they live.Although that is complete-ly untrue, I believe that this time of year is a good time to reevaluate certain priorities in all of our lives. For one thing, why do we need a holiday to make us be grateful?Throughout my adult and teen years on this earth I’ve wondered this, and thinking about it, I admittedly started to loathe Thanksgiving. It frustrated and angered me that humans couldn’t just be thankful on their own, in every day life.That being said, I pose a challenge to those read-ing this. Try to be thank-ful every day of the year. We as Americans, and as humans, have so many things to be thankful for, many that we take for granted, and don’t pay the slightest attention to.I’m aware that many have already noticed this, and some have become angered and frustrated the way that I mentioned above. A large percentage of Americans realize that our nation can be selfi sh, and over-privileged with an overwhelming sense of entitlement at times.But, instead of focusing on this, why don’t we look at how we can use that to our advantage, and see the things that make living in this nation wonderful?Instead of complaining that we spend too much money on luxury items, why don’t we give to those in need? If it bothers you or sickens you that you have great things when others don’t, then give some of your excess to them.If you don’t have someone in need to give to or help directly, then fi nd a good organization or ministry to partner up with. There are plenty out there! For those who currently have no wiggle room in your budget to do so, then pray for those in need, pray to be able to help them, and pray for those who are able to help them to have the necessary resources. Keep in mind that some-thing that may seem in-signifi cant to you could be invaluable to the person who needs it. Be grateful that you are able to give. Paying for someone’s cof-fee, or giving that grumpy

clerk a smile or a kind word can change their entire day.Rather than being upset at how our country is run, pray for it to change and recognize the great privi-leges that we have at our fi ngertips. I am so grateful to live in a nation where I can freely pray for our country, and encourage others to do so. I am also grateful to have the opportunity to vote. So what if the presiden-tial candidate I vote for doesn’t get elected? Many never have the opportu-nity to partake in voting for their leadership.Be grateful for others. We were not put on this planet merely for our own sakes. Learn to see the best in people, and appreciate what they bring to the table.Is there someone that you appreciate in your life? Maybe it’s an awe-some coworker that makes your job enjoyable, a best friend, a sibling, parent, cousin, child, or grand-parent? Even if it’s the cashier at your favorite grocery store that’s always friendly, be grateful for them. Don’t just stop at be-ing grateful for them. If possible, fi nd a way to let them know that their life matters. With so much to be ap-preciative of, we often overlook these meaningful relationships and “ the little things.” It’s far too accurate that most don’t enjoy what they’ve been given until they lose it. One thing I am teach-ing myself to do is to slow down and enjoy where I’m at in my life. My children are small, and that leaves an opportunity to get frustrated with the things that they are not yet able to do. Instead of focusing on that, I focus on the fact that I am so very grateful that they need me, and that although our budget may seem tight at times, I am getting to spend all of these precious moments with them. It won’t always be this way, and I want to enjoy tying little shoes and bottomless sippy cups (I call them ‘bottomless’ because just like a wait-ress, mommy is constantly refi lling them) while this season lasts.Be grateful that you have a roof over your head, food in your refrigera-tor, clean clothes to wear, and running water. These things have become so common to us that it seems insignifi cant to have the luxury of running to the store and buying new clothes or stopping at a restaurant on the way home so that we don’t have to wait for our food to cook.Enjoy simple things, and to throw another cliché out there, “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.” Although this typically is used to encourage people not to say negative things about others, I have come

to realize that it isn’t fun to hear griping and com-plaining about anything, not just people.Find something positive to say, and if you can’t, it truly might be better to re-main silent. I say this from experience. In order to get the most out of life, we should all teach ourselves to do this.

Time and time again it has been proven that positive people are happy people. And just to throw one more typical sentiment out there, it’s more blessed to give than to receive. So let’s live grateful lives, by giving to others and giving thanks year round.

approximately 40 years dedicated to serving the community as a place of entertainment.Having been demolished in the early 90s, this current generation may fi nd it hard to believe that there was a theatre located there, or even in the Westfi eld area at all. The theatre was of unique architecture, having a circular marquee that fi t its corner location quite well.“One of the sweetest memories I have is being a child and visiting the town to shop with my parents on a snowy night,” said Locke. “Walking down the side-walk, and seeing all of the marquee lights twinkling, almost like a scene from a Norman Rockwell painting or from ‘It’s A Wonderful Life.’For those who never had the chance to see the the-atre back in its glory days, this paints a beautiful pic-ture of what a focal point it was in the town, and some of the fond memories it held for its patrons and employees.The building was designed by architect Michael DeAngelis, and an original sketch of the structure can be found on the website cinematreasures.org. In-cluding The Grand The-atre, DeAngelis designed 36 theatres total.Of these theatres, six are still open today, one being The Reg Lenna Civic Cen-ter, which was once known as The Palace. Though not originally the plans of DeAngelo, the Reg Lenna was remodeled according

to his plans to modernize the facility.Those who had the plea-sure of attending a fi lm showing at the Grand may remember seeing a fi lm that featured actors such as Doris Day, Charles Heston, or Kirk Douglas. Nearly impossible to believe nowadays, is the price of admission to see a featured fi lm at the time of the theatre’s opening. With the current ticket cost being an average of $7.84, today’s young people would most likely be shocked to learn that their parents or grand-parents once paid 28 cents to see the newest fi lm.The Grand was a business very much involved in the community when it was up and running, provid-ing a fun place for families to spend time together, couples who were court-ing, and even a place of employment for high school students and others in the area.During its time of opera-tion, there was an incident involving a high school football player for Westfi eld Academy, Bret Smith, who was also an employee of the theatre. Smith suff ered

an injury during a football game against Falconer in 1975, and was pronounced dead upon arrival to the hospital.As saddening as it was for the community and for Smith’s family to lose a young 17 year old, the event sparked a heart-warming response from the small town of West-fi eld. The Grand Theatre showed Smith’s favorite movie, ‘American Graf-fi ti,’ in remembrance of the high school senior shortly following his death.“It was packed, the theatre was standing room only,” said Locke.Following Smith’s death, the manager of the theatre, Willy Locke, set up a schol-arship, the ‘Bret Smith Leadership Award,’ that is still awarded to Westfi eld Academy and Central School students to this day.The number of seats has been said to have fl uctuated throughout the theatre’s 40 years, but was in the ball-park of 748-850, depend-ing on the current needs of the facility.As stated on a commemo-rative ornament that was designed with help from

Locke, “Pink-beige glazed blocks with maroon trim, curved marquee & wooden doors with half-moon windows graced the exterior of the Art Deco/Moderne theatre which stood on the corner of N. Portage and Main Sts. Opening on July 17, 1941, showing Love Crazy with William Powell & Myrna Loy, the Grand had elegant tapestry covered walls and seated 748 patrons. It was one of the fi rst theatres in the country to have wide-screen Cinemascope pro-jection and a stereo sound system. Though razed in April 1993,the memory of this cinema treasure will forever hold a place in our hearts.”Accurately stated, although this theatre can no longer be seen with our eyes, those who visited the theatre will fondly remember this place of the past in their hearts. Grand Theatre orna-ments are still available at the McClurg Mansion for purchase.For those interested in the theatre, or other theatres of the area, please visit www.cinematreasures.org

The 1891 Fredonia Op-era House Cinema Series roster of fi lms for No-vember contains four fall

releases that already have generated signifi cant Oscar buzz! Next in the Series is “Captain Phillips,” the true story of the Somali pirate capture of the cargo ship Maersk Alabama, star-ring Tom Hanks. It will be

screened on Sat., Nov. 16, and Tues., Nov. 19, at 7:30 p.m. “Captain Phillips” is – through Director Paul Greengrass’s distinctive lens – simultaneously a pulse-pounding thriller, and a complex portrait of the myriad eff ects of glo-balization. The fi lm focuses on the relationship between the Alabama’s command-ing offi cer Richard Phillips (Hanks) and the Somali pirate captain, Muse, who takes him hostage. Phillips and Muse are set on an un-stoppable collision course when Muse and his crew target Phillips’ unarmed ship; in the ensuing stand-off , 145 miles off the So-

mali coast, both men fi nd themselves at the mercy of forces beyond their control.Tom Long, in the Detroit News, calls the fi lm “one of the year’s best movies; and it features Tom Hanks’ strongest work in more than a decade.” Peter How-ell, in the Toronto Star, calls it “a survival saga that raises the pulse and tweaks the conscience.” Moira MacDonald, in the Seattle Times, says “you won’t for-get ‘Captain Phillips’ in a hurry – nor will you forget Hanks, who, in midcareer still fi nds ways to dazzle us anew.” Peter Travers, in Rolling Stone, says “this is acting of the highest order in a movie that raises the bar on what a true-life ac-tion thriller can do.” Rated PG-13 for sustained intense sequences of menace, some violence with bloody im-ages and for substance use, “Captain Phillips” runs 134 minutes. The Opera House Cin-ema Series is sponsored by Lake Shore Savings Bank. Tickets are available at the door for $7 (adults), $6.50 (seniors & Opera House members) and $5 (students) the night of each screen-ing. A book of ten movie passes is available for $60 at the door or online at www.fredopera.org. For

On Friday, December 6, the School of Music and Department of Theatre and Dance will present the second annual Madri-gal Feaste dinner theater performance, held in the Williams Center. This traditional 15th-century royal feast and musical program is truly a feast for the senses, with authentic food, costumed performers, rousing music and mer-riment on a grand scale. The festivities begin at 5:30pm with an open bar, and the seated dinner and music program will begin promptly at 6pm. Tickets are $65 per person and are available at the Ticket Offi ce: 716-673-3501 or online at www.fredonia.edu/tickets. Tickets must be purchased by November 25.“We are excited about off ering the Feaste again this year,” said Dr. Karl Boelter, School of Mu-sic Director. “Last year’s Feaste was a wonderful start to a new tradition. People seemed to enjoy the festive environment and the music of the Cham-ber Choir. The theatrical features provided by Jim Ivey were perfect for the situation. This year, we’ll be making the music of the choir a more signifi cant component as they stroll and perform for everyone’s enjoyment. Even the acting will seem more integrated with the crowd.”This collaborative event features talented fac-

ulty and students from the School of Music and the Department of Theatre and Dance. The Fredo-nia Chamber Choir is the featured choral ensemble, under the direction of Dr. Gerald T. Gray, who had the vision for bringing this historical dinner theater tradition to Fredonia. “As a high school student,” commented Dr. Gray, “I had the joy and privilege of performing in a Madrigal Feaste in my hometown, and it was a true highlight of the year. There was something magical about the festive music, beautiful costumes, grand banquet dinner … all coming to-

gether to create something unforgettable. It is exciting to bring that to our com-munity. It is a magnifi cent way to begin the holiday season, and we hope the community will come out and join us for this unique and memorable event.”Theatre and Dance profes-sor, Dr. James Ivey will lead a troupe of actors for the event, and will also be featured in the all-important role of Master of Revels. A particularly special high-light of the evening will be Richard and Cynthia Wickwire Lundquist fea-tured in the roles of King and Queen.

“Rick and Cynthia will be terrifi c as our King and Queen,” said Boelter. “They are big supporters of the School of Music by giving to the Lundquist In-ternational Fellowship and serving on our advisory board. Rick, an emeritus professor from the business school, is also a trumpet player, so his involvement with us is also in the New Horizons Band. It will be great to have Rick and Cynthia part of the show.”The King and Queen will don period attire and join the rest of the performers at the royal banquet table on a central stage, while audience members dine and enjoy strolling sing-ers and various chamber ensembles throughout the evening. Each course of the feast will be heralded with a traditional song, and audience participation is encouraged!

At the heart of this fes-tive event is a traditional 15th-century feast. The School of Music is pleased to announce the royal banquet menu, which in-cludes an open bar featur-ing wine, beer and festive non-alcoholic drinks at the beginning of the evening, followed by a seated dinner and musical program. The meal begins with winter sausage, aged cheese and crusty bread, followed by a fanfare heralding the traditional holiday Wassail beverage. A peasant-style creamy butternut squash bisque will be followed by an entrée of choice. Choose from Steak Fillet Au Poivre, Herb Roasted Chicken, or the vegetar-ian Eggplant Parmesan. The meal is accompanied by wine and beer service, traditional root vegetables and a potato dish. A festive array of desserts will be

By Phil BensContributing Writer

If you have ever download-ed a document from a gov-ernment web site, the docu-ment has probably arrived in the format of a PDF fi le. PDF, or portable document format, was developed to present a document in the same form, no matter what type of computer is used. The great thing about PDF is that the content and the layout of the document is always preserved. As you might guess, this is why offi cial documents tend to

employ this type of fi le. You might also see books, plans, or drawings take the form of a PDF so that they keep the integrity of the original author. PDF fi les have also gained popularity with their ability to be used as interactive forms. Forms, such as an online tax form, allow for user input and then submission to an on-line database.I use PDF when I have a document that I am send-ing, and I do not want it to be changed. I also use this format when I am not sure what type of computer will be used to read my docu-ment. PDF documents can be read by PCs, Apple, and mobile devices. If you want to make sure that everyone can read your document, turn it into a PDF. Today it is pretty easy to create your own PDF fi les. If you have a copy of Microsoft Offi ce 2007 or later, you can simply create your document and you can elect to save it as a PDF fi le. If you don’t own a copy

of Microsoft Offi ce, you can upload your document to your Google Drive and then download it back to your computer as a PDF. Google Drives are assigned to you if you have a Google account. The best part of using Google is that it is free.The strengths of PDF are also what can drive people to dislike PDF. When the author of a document pro-tects the document, people that receive the document can not simply add and delete sentences in that document. In some cases this can lead to frustra-tion. However, there are mobile apps and software that allows you to anno-tate and markup the PDF. Annotation software allows someone to add comments and highlight parts of the document. Though PDF fi les are viewed online by many people, they some-times represent a bit of a challenge for us, but there are good reasons for the way they are constructed.

JCC, edinboro sign Agreement on Business Degree Program


The Jamestown Commu-nity College Foundation has announced the endow-ment of the Dr. Gregory T. DeCinque Unifi ed Student Assistance (USA) Scholar-ship, thanks to more than $125,000 in support from local businesses, organiza-tions, foundations, and individuals.Dr. DeCinque’s career in higher education spanned 42 years, the last 19 of which were as president of Jamestown Community College. Upon his retire-

ment in August 2013, Dr. DeCinque had awarded degrees to nearly 14,000 students. During his ten-ure, he guided a signifi cant expansion of the college’s degree and certifi cate programs and oversaw the enhancement of the col-lege’s transferability options to include agreements with 43 four-year colleges and universities. One of his defi ning achievements was the opening of the $31 mil-lion renovated Cattaraugus County Campus in down-town Olean in 2003.“I am humbled and hon-ored by the overwhelming support that our com-

munity has shown,” Dr. DeCinque said. “Every year, the USA Scholarship makes a profound diff er-ence for so many students and enables them to invest more of their own re-sources in the pursuit of an advanced degree. It is one of the college’s most impor-tant scholarship programs.”The USA Scholarship program provides New York state resident tuition to fi rst-time, full-time freshmen who rank in the top 20 percent of their graduating class from participating schools. USA Scholarship recipients must maintain at least a 3.0 GPA

while at JCC. Since being established in 1979, the USA Scholarship program has provided $6 million to more than 3,000 JCC students.A Dr. Gregory T. DeCinque USA Scholar-ship will be awarded annu-ally to a qualifi ed student on both the Jamestown and Cattaraugus County campuses. This year’s recipients are Andrew We-ber of Olean, a freshman majoring in liberal arts: mathematics and sciences on the Cattaraugus County Campus and Rachel Welch of Great Valley, a freshman engineering science major

on the Jamestown Campus. According to JCC Founda-tion executive director Mi-chael Moots, 170 pledges and contributions totaling $125,160 were donated to the scholarship campaign. Major gifts were given by the Winifred Crawford Dibert Foundation, Carna-han-Jackson Foundation, Lenna Foundation, Jesse Smith Darrah Fund, DFT Communications, associ-ates of CUTCO Corpora-tion, and the JCC Alumni Association.“The gifts and pledges we received during the cam-paign are an expression of the appreciation of both

the JCC community and the community at-large for Dr. DeCinque’s service as president,” Moots said. “These scholarships will be a continual reminder of Dr. DeCinque’s dedication to our students and faculty and to the thousands of stu-dents who passed through JCC’s doors during his tenure.”Additional contributions to the DeCinque scholarship endowment are welcome. For more information, con-tact the JCC Foundation at 716-338-1057.

David H. Carnahan and the Carnahan-Jackson Foundation were honored during the Jamestown Community College Foun-dation’s annual recognition event on October 24.Carnahan was presented with the John D. Hamilton Award and the Carnah-an-Jackson Foundation received the Community Partner Award.“David lives his life as an expression of the values with which he was raised, and which remain impor-tant to him to this day,” JCC Foundation executive director Michael Moots said during the ceremony. “One theme that runs throughout David’s life and work is his commit-ment to providing young people with opportunities to develop themselves and to create better futures for themselves and their families. David is deeply devoted to this ideal.”Carnahan’s mother, Katharine Jackson Carna-han, was a charter trustee of JCC and served on the board of trustees from 1950

to 1971. The Katharine Jackson Carnahan Center at JCC is named in her honor. She valued and supported student scholar-ships, libraries, cultural events, and academics – a deep commitment to JCC that lives on in her son.An original member of the Carnahan-Jackson Foun-dation board of directors, David Carnahan became chair of the board and executive secretary in 1974 and continues to serve as the foundation’s board chair. In the early 1980s, he became one of the six original incorporators of the JCC Foundation. He was the first president of the JCC Foundation board of directors and served between 1983 and 1988, a time when several major endowments were estab-lished.Carnahan has been a major supporter of JCC’s USA Scholarship program, which has provided $6 million to more than 3,000 JCC students since being established in 1979. The USA Scholarship provides New York state resident tu-ition to first-time, full-time freshmen from participat-ing schools who rank in

the top 20 percent of their graduating class.“David has always been a major supporter of the USA Scholarship pro-gram,” said Kevin K. Brombacher, JCC Founda-tion board president. “The Carnahan-Jackson Foun-dation has generously given several major gifts to both JCC and the USA Scholar-ship program. His support for JCC students and the USA Scholarship program in particular continues to this day.”Carnahan, a Jamestown native, graduated from Jamestown High School and Denison University. He pursued graduate stud-ies at the University of Wis-consin, taught high school history for many years, and served as vice president of the C.L. Carnahan Cor-poration in Jamestown. He is a veteran of the United States Army and the Unit-ed States Army Reserve.Carnahan’s deep commu-nity involvement includes membership in several civic, veterans, and frater-nal organizations. He has held leadership roles on many boards of directors, including those at Chau-tauqua Institution, the Chautauqua Foundation, the Allegheny Highlands Council of the Boy Scouts of America, the Boy Scouts of America Northeast Re-gion, the Salvation Army of Jamestown, the Empire State Salvation Army, the Jamestown YMCA, Randolph Children’s Home and its foundation, Chautauqua Area Habitat for Humanity, the Jame-

stown SPCA, the Deni-son University Research Foundation, Davis & Elkins College, and the Gerry Homes New York Facility Committee.Carnahan is a long-time member of the Fredonia College Foundation board of directors. He recently served as the chairman of SUNY Fredonia’s suc-cessful capital campaign, “Doors to Success.”Carnahan has been rec-ognized with the SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Philanthropy, the Distin-guished Service Award from SUNY Fredonia, and with awards from the Boy Scouts of America, Rotary International, Denison University, and the Nation-al Society of Fund Raising Executives.As part of the evening’s celebration, the Carnahan-Jackson Foundation was

named the recipient of the 2013 Community Partner Award in recognition of the foundation’s long and valued relationship with JCC. Since its inception in 1972, the Carnahan-Jackson Foundation has provided $1.46 million in support to JCC and ranks fourth on the list of the college’s all-time leading donors. The foundation is currently funding a major gift to the USA Scholarship endowment.The John D. Hamilton Award was established by the JCC Foundation in 1995 to recognize individu-als whose contributions ex-emplify those of Hamilton, a past president and trustee emeritus of JCC. Hamilton was among the commu-nity leaders who worked diligently to see JCC chartered in 1950 as the first community college in

the State University of New York. The John D. Ham-ilton Collegiate Center at JCC’s Jamestown Campus is named in his honor.The JCC Foundation is a private, non-profit orga-nization formed in 1983 to manage contributions made on behalf of JCC and to allocate the funds to JCC programs or events that are not included in the college’s operating budget. Funds donated to the JCC Foundation support schol-arships, faculty develop-ment, cultural events, the acquisition of instructional resources, and special pro-grams for students, faculty, and the community.To learn more about the JCC Foundation, visit www.jccfoundation.com or call Michael Moots at 716-338-1010.

At long last, the mascot for the Jamestown Community College Jayhawks has a name.Students at JCC recently voted to make JJ the Jay-hawk the official name of the mascot for the Jame-stown Campus. The name narrowly beat out fellow finalists Jay and Hawkeye in a campus-wide vote. Over 150 JCC students and community members submitted ballots or voted over the college’s various social media channels (@sunyjcc). From start to finish, the se-

lection process was almost entirely student-driven. At the beginning of the semes-ter, JCC sent out a call on Facebook and Twitter ask-ing students to submit their suggestions for what JCC should name the Jayhawk. The college received over 50 suggestions. Some of the more unique ideas included Beaksley, Wingsmore, and Vin Diesel.From that list, a group of JCC staff members – in-cluding Keith Martin, director of athletics, Nelson Garifi, executive director of marketing and academic initiatives, Angela Puccia-relli, assistant director of athletics, and Jade Barber, director of recruitment –

selected Jay, Hawkeye, and JJ as the three finalists. Students were then given the opportunity to choose their favorite.The final vote was ex-tremely close, with fewer than 10 votes separating the finalists. In the end, though, JJ emerged as the winner.A similar process was fol-lowed on the Cattaraugus County Campus, where students chose Jax as the new name for the Jaguar.IN PHOTO: JCC students Zach Hallberg and Sydney Milliman pose for a picture with newly christened JJ the Jayhawk.

Representatives from Sam’s Club, Club Manager Darcie McLachlan and Community Involvement Coordinator Toni Bellito, recently awarded, through a random drawing, 20 Lincoln Elementary School teachers with $50 reward cards to purchaseclassroom supplies that will help students start the school year off right as part of Walmart’s Teacher Rewards Program. For the fifth year, Walmart will donate up to $4.5 million to provide 90,000 teachers across the United States with reward cardsto help offset the cost of classroom expenses at the beginning of the school

year. These funds come at a crucial time, as many teachers will spend an estimated $500 of their own money to ensure their students have the supplies they need to learnthroughout the school year. Sam’s Club also provided a cake for the teachers with a photograph of Lincoln Elementary School. “We are so appreciative of this gift for our teachers,” said Lincoln Elementary School Principal Katie Russo. “I personally know how hard the teachers work and it is nice to get a pat on the back from Walmart and Sam’s Club. As an additional incen-tive, if any teacher joins or renew their membership by July 31, 2014, they will receive either a $10 or $20

gift card.More than 4,600 U.S. Walmart stores, Distribu-tion Centers and Sam’s Club locations are eligible to select one public school, K-8, and provide reward cards to 20 teachers from each selected school. Win-ning teachers can use the funds to purchaseessential items for their classrooms such as paper, folders, binders, pencils, crayons and markers.“We are proud to honor our community’s teach-ers, who give time and often their own money to ensure our students have everything they need to be successful throughout the school year, “ Darcie McLachlan, Club Man-ager. “At Walmart, we are dedicated tosupporting our nation’s

teachers by providing the support and resources needed to continue educat-ing the future leaders of our community.”

The Teacher Rewards program is an extension of Walmart’s ongoing support of local education initia-tives that help students bet-ter prepare for their future.

In 2012, Walmart and its Foundation donated more than $59 million to fund education programs across the country.

After coming oh-so-close each of the past two years, the Jame-stown Red Raiders are fi nally the New York State Public High School Athletic Association Sec-tion 6 Class AA champions.

Two years in a row Jamestown has watched from the opposite sideline as its opponent in the title game cel-ebrated on the turf of Ralph Wilson Stadium. This time, however, the Red Raiders jumped to an early 21-0 lead and never took their col-lective foot off the gas en route to a statement 42-7 win over Frontier.

It’s the team’s fi rst sectional championship since 2000.

It came as a surprise to absolutely no one that quarterback Jake Sis-son was the center of the big of-fensive performance. The senior completed 13 of 29 attempts for 402 yards and a pair of touch-downs. All he did on the ground was chew up 74 yards and fi nd the end zone another three times.

It was a performance for the ages and one that offi cially gave Sis-son the Section 6 single-season passing record with 2,871 yards. Current University of Buffalo quarterback Joe Licata held the previous record of 2,573 yards when he played at Williamsville South. Sisson’s 32 passing touch-

downs were just four shy of the record, also held by Licata.

A 78-yard touchdown strike from Sisson to Zack Panebianco on Jamestown’s second play from scrimmage helped set the tone early. The next scoring drive was just as effective as the Red Raid-ers pounded out nine plays and 80 yards capped by a 31-yard scam-per by Sisson for a 14-0 lead.

The Jamestown defense was in top form all night and forced fi ve Frontier fumbles, of which the Red Raiders were able to recover four.

It was one of those turnovers that helped set up Jamestown’s third touchdown of the half — a 46-yard touchdown from Sisson

to Panebianco.

Panebianco had a record night himself with 181 yards on just fi ve catches. The yardage total was a sectional fi nal record. The previous record had been 167.

The lead ballooned to 42-0 be-fore the Falcons were able to fi nd the end zone with just over fi ve minutes left on the clock.

The Jamestown victory helped set up a matchup for the ages with the No. 1 Class AA in New York State, Aquinas of Section 5. The two teams will go to battle on Saturday at 6 p.m. at Sahlen’s Stadium in Rochester for the Far West Regional championship.

Also bringing a Section 6 champi-

onship to Chautauqua County were the Frewsburg Bears, who easily defeated Cattaraugus-Little Valley, 33-0, in the Class DD title game.

Three touchdowns — two on the ground, one through the air — a recovered onside kick and an interception from Jordan Ingerson were a big reason the Bears found success early and often in a thor-oughly dominant performance.

Ingerson found the end zone on Frewsburg’s fi rst possession for a 6-0 lead. After the defense forced a Catt-Little Valley fumble deep in its own territory, Ingerson again plowed into the end zone for a 12-0 lead.

Sabres Bring Back Nolan, Lafontaine

as Coach, gmContributed ArticleAssociated Press

The Buffalo Sabres fi red coach Ron Rolston and hired former coach Ted Nolan to replace him.

Sabres owner Terry Pegula also announced Wednesday that he fi red general manager Darcy Regier and hired Pat LaFontaine as president of hockey operations.

The Sabres are off to a 4-15-1 start, the worst in franchise his-tory. Buffalo edged Los Angeles 3-2 in a shootout Tuesday night to avoid tying the worst home start in NHL history.


Last season didn’t go so well for the Fredonia State Blue Devils men’s basketball team. The team went just 7-17 overall with a mea-ger 3-15 record in SUNYAC play.

But that’s the beauty of college sports. Last year is over and done with. The Blue Devils have already put that in the past and are ready to kick off the 2013-2014 season in style this weekend at the Nazareth Tournament in Rochester.

“I think the guys are really excit-ed,” fi rst-year head coach Philip Seymore said. “I’m probably not as excited because I wanted to get more work in and a few more days of practice. In terms of de-fensive concepts and continuity, we still have some things we’re working on. But the guys are pumped and ready to go.”

Seymore was hired as the 10th head basketball coach in the his-tory of the Fredonia State men’s basketball program back in June. He brings with him coaching experience at nearly every level of competitive basketball.

Seymore spent seven years as an assistant coach at Canisius after a successful high school stint at Turner Carroll High School in Buffalo. He then spent time at the University of Richmond, a NCAA D-1 program in the Colo-nial Athletic Association.

A majority of his coaching was done at Providence College,

where he spent 12 seasons, fi rst as an assistant coach on the very successful men’s team and then as the head coach of the wom-en’s team.

“It’s different,” Seymore said of recruiting in D-3 as opposed to D-1. “In Division 1 you’re offer-ing full scholarships. In Division 3 you have to wait sometimes. Guys have other ideas of where they want to play at. Sometimes August will come around and a guy will say ‘I got a scholarship to play Division 2’ or something and then that’s it, they’re done.”

While the recruiting process is drastically different, Seymore noted that his coaching style won’t change from coaching D-1 athletes to coming to Fredonia.

“I’ll tell you the biggest change is going from women back to coaching men,” Seymore said

with a wide smile. “There’s a big difference there. I had been on the men’s side basically my whole career. I’m real happy to be back with the guys. That’s not to say anything bad about women’s basketball because I enjoyed my experience doing that.”

The team Seymore inherits is short on upperclassmen, but the coach is happy with the senior leadership he does have.

“Markus Williams and Tyrone Clark are the two captains and returning seniors,” Seymore con-tinued. “Markus is a really good leader. He and Tyrone as leaders and captains can really comple-ment each other. I’m trying to get them to become closer as cap-tains and communicate the goals that they have for themselves and their team. They can get every-one else to buy in and do what

we need to do to win.

“We have other guys too,” he added. “Ray Parris and Rob Lyles are returning players that I’m looking to for leadership. We’ll have some surprises. We have a young man that basi-cally walked onto our team, Alex Grace. He’ll probably be one of our starters and if not a starter he’ll see a lot of minutes. John Kovach is solid. Kevin Fed-eration is going to give us some toughness. I would say right now we’re about seven or eight deep in players that can give us solid double-digit minutes. Hopefully as the season goes on some of those other guys get better and they’ll be able to give us some more minutes as well.”

Sometimes in sports you’ll see coaches be loyal to a fault. They’ll play the veteran over the rookie even if maybe that newbie gives the team a better chance of winning. Seymore made it clear that this won’t be an issue for him.

“There is no thin line with me,” he said emphatically. “There nev-er has been and there never will be. If a player is a freshman and he’s good enough to play than he’s going to play. You want to do what’s best for the team. That’s never anything that’s interfered with my decision-making.”

Seymore is in an interesting position because he doesn’t know much about the rest of the SU-NYAC having not played a game with his new team yet.


Last week I wrote about the chances of recent World Series participants David Ortiz and Carlos Beltran of getting into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Coo-perstown. That prompted a con-versation between some friends of mine and myself about what currently active players have the best chance of ending up in the Hall of Fame someday.

Before I delve into active play-ers, let’s take a look at this next ballot just for fun. Greg Mad-dux and Tom Glavine are both 300 game winners and should absolutely get in on their fi rst try. The Hall of Fame was made for guys like these two.

Then there will be a few interest-ing cases like fi rst-year eligible players Frank Thomas and Jeff Kent. Voters have been hesitant to put players from the ‘steroid era’ into the Hall even if they haven’t been linked to anything.

Two second-year eligible players in Craig Biggio and Mike Piazza should get in at some point. Biggio was an All-Star at not one, not two, but THREE different positions —catcher, second base, center field — during his career. Piazza is argu-ably the most offensively prolific catcher in the his-tory of baseball.

Some other guys I think should get in at some point: Former all-time saves leader Lee Smith, who helped redefine the closer role; Tim Raines, who collected 2,605 hits, 170 home runs and 808 stolen bases during his career; and Edgar Marti-nez, who might just be the best designated hitter the game has ever seen.

Then you have the Roger Clemens-Barry Bonds-Mark McGwire-Sammy Sosa group that will unfortunately never sniff the Hall based on their alleged PED use and subsequent alleged lying and coverups. With the exception of Sosa, these guys were headed to HOF careers before the ste-roids. It’s just a shame.

One last guy I want to mention before get-ting into active players is Mariano Rivera. The all-time saves leader just finished up his last season and is one of the most widely respected play-ers to ever take the field. I’ve been saying for years that when his time comes Rivera will break Tom Seaver’s record for highest

percentage of votes. Seri-ously, how could anyone justify NOT voting Ri-vera into the Hall?

Miguel Cabrera: Even at just 30 years old, Cabrera might have done enough to warrant consid-eration. The 2012 Triple Crown winner just put up a 2013 season that might have been even better than the season prior. Assuming he lands in the top five this season, he’ll have finished in the top 5 in MVP voting seven times in 11 seasons. He’s led the AL in batting average each of the last three years while still being one of the most feared power hitters in the league. He’s just five hits shy of 2,000 for his career. A hip injury cost him a few games this past season, but he’s been incredibly durable. His 148 games played this season were his least played since his rook-ie callup midway through the 2003 season. The fact that he’s played third base instead of first or DH can only help his case. Even a handful of average years from here on out will get Cabrera a plaque.

Roy Halladay: It’s been sad to watch injuries derail Halladay’s once-great ca-reer, but that doesn’t erase the fact that for 8-10 years he was the best pitcher in baseball. In an era when pitchers’ win totals are plummeting thanks to overmanaged bullpens, Doc was still able to win at least 20 games three times with two more seasons of 19 wins. His 203 career

wins pale in comparison with other pitchers in the Hall of Fame, but hope-fully voters will consider the change in era. We might never see a 300-game winner ever again. That’s a sobering thought. During a four-year run from 2008-2011, Halladay struck out at least 200 bat-ters every year. He led the league in complete games seven of nine years in his prime. He owns a career strikeout-to-walk rate of nearly 4-1. Oh, and he threw a no-hitter in a play-off game. He could and should be the first pitcher inducted where the win total finally doesn’t carry massive weight.

Derek Jeter: This one almost doesn’t need to be mentioned. Not only is Jeter a 13-time All-Star, five-time World Series champion, post-season hero and 10th on the all-time hits list with 3,316 but he’s respected across the game. He’s never been linked to PEDs. He’s never gotten into

trouble despite playing his whole career in the New York spotlight. About the only thing you can knock the guy for is defense, but that’s not his fault because he should have switched positions years ago. What people tend to forget is that Jeter isn’t just a singles hitter. He’s knocked 255 home runs and swiped 348 bases in his career. He has a career-highlight list that could go on for hours. There’s really no discus-sion as to whether Jeter will get into the HOF. He absolutely will.

Albert Pujols: Another name that doesn’t really have a counter-argument. Pujols was THE best player in baseball for a decade. It’s easy to think he’s been terrible in his two years on LA, but looking back, the Ma-chine hit 30 home runs and a respectable (if un-Albert-like) .285 in his first year with the Angels. He’s sitting at 492 home runs and 1,498 RBI so

he’ll hit big milestones early next year assuming he’s healthy. HOF vot-ers love those nice round numbers. Some more astonishing Pujols facts: His career OPS is 1.008. He’s had four seasons with an OPS over 1.100. In his first 10 seasons in the league, Pujols had an on-base percentage under .403 just once (.394 in his second year). He’s even stolen at least 14 bases in three different seasons and is regarded as a great all-around base runner. He’s won three MVP awards and finished second another four times. He has a pair of Gold Gloves and nine All-Star game appearances. He led the N.L. in WAR (wins above replacement) six straight seasons from 2005-2010. So please don’t let his injury-plagued 2013 season fool you, we were all lucky to watch the greatest hitter of the 2000s and certain Hall of Famer terrorize pitchers for a full decade.

There are a number of other players I had planned on talking about, but of course I couldn’t keep things short on the above players. Ichiro is obviously a guy who will wind up in the Hall of Fame. Todd Helton is an interesting case with his Coors Field-inflated stats, but also being the best player in Colorado Rockies history and also putting up very good ca-reer road numbers. Andy Pettitte is an odd case too.

His career numbers are great, but he was never even close to the best pitcher in baseball during his career and was rarely, if ever, the best pitcher on his own team.

A lot of players will fall into that “Hall of Very Good” category. Guys like Adam Dunn, Paul Konerko, Tim Hudson, C.C. Sabathia and Joe Mauer will probably just have very nice careers, not Hall of Fame cali-ber careers. There are a few guys I think could push the envelope if they can stay healthy and continue to put up great numbers. David Wright, Adrian Beltre, Robinson Cano, Justin Verlander and Joey Votto all have solid foundations to their careers, but will have to put together some produc-tive seasons to have any chance of enshrinement.

Two very young guys I’d put money on are Felix Hernandez and Clayton Kershaw. Each of them is probably the best pitchers in their respective divi-sions and already have Cy Young Awards under their belts.

Who else do you think has a chance of enshrinement some day? Andrew Mc-Cutcheon? Adrian Gon-zalez? Mike Trout? Send me your suggestions. I’d love to hear them.

Lake Erie & TributariesSteelhead fishing on the Lake Erie tributaries has been quite good this sea-son, with quality catches reported in Chautauqua, Canadaway, Silver, Wal-nut, Cattaraugus, Eigh-teenmile, Buffalo and Cayuga Creeks. All of the creek levels are rising and muddy today (Thursday), following last night’s rain-fall. The smallest streams may be ok by tomorrow, and all of the above named streams (except Catta-raugus Creek) should be back in fishable shape by the weekend. It will take longer for Cattaraugus to drop back to fishable levels, which is generally under 500 cubic feet per second.

Fishing with egg sacs and egg pattern flies are good bets for steelhead. Light colored streamers and bug-ger patterns are good op-tions in clear water condi-tions while darker patterns in black or purple work better in stained conditions. Worms are also a good bait when waters are riled. For those new to steelhead fishing, see the Steelhead

Fishing in Lake Erie Tribu-taries page for information on steelhead fishing equip-ment, locations and links to stream maps.

When weather permits, there is still good opportu-nity to catch yellow perch on Lake Erie. Anglers re-port good catches between Cattaraugus Creek and Buffalo in 40-55 feet of water. Some searching may be required. Keep in mind that between November 1st and May 1st, NYS law re-quires boaters to wear a life jacket at all times (in boats 21 feet long or less).

Upper Niagara RiverUpper river anglers have seen good smallmouth bass catches lately. Bass are bunched up in areas that offer some relief from the main current, like humps, drop-offs or other bottom structure. The humps up-river of Strawberry Island are a good bet. Bigger golden shiners have worked best for bass on the feed. November is tradition-ally a great time to fish for muskellunge in the upper Niagara River and Buffalo

Harbor. Anglers can target musky in the river by drift-ing along weed edges or over bottom structure with 8-10 inch tube jigs, large stickbaits or large shiners. Musky are generally caught in the outer Buffalo Harbor by trolling large stickbaits. Shore anglers report good yellow perch catches on minnows at Broderick Park and Squaw Island. The oc-casional rainbow trout has also been taken on drifted egg sacs or casted spoons and spinners.

Chautauqua LakeFall is a good time to target muskellunge in Chautauqua Lake. An-glers have been catching musky by trolling large jointed stickbaits along weedlines in both basins. Yellow perch are readily taken on live bait outside weed edges, but anglers must weed through many throw-backs for every keeper. There has not been much chatter about walleye fishing lately. However, anglers often catch walleye in the fall by vertical jigging around

the sides of deeper holes in 25-45 feet of water. Swedish pimples and blade baits tipped with a minnow or jigging Rapa-las are good bets.

Surplus Broodstock Trout StockingDEC Randolph Fish Hatchery completed their annual fall stocking of broodstock trout in Al-legany and Cattaraugus Counties. All breeder trout stocked were over 2 years old and were stocked in waters where trout fishing is permitted year-round. The following waters were stocked; Birch Run Pond 50 14-inch brook trout; Allen Lake 100 14-inch brook trout and 100 20-inch brook trout; New Albion Lake 150 14-inch brook trout; Genesee River (Wellsville to PA border) 300 14-inch brown trout, 50 20-inch brown trout and 200 14-inch rainbow trout; Red House Lake 140 20-inch brown trout; Quaker Lake 150 30-inch rainbow trout, 250 20-inch rainbow trout and 75 24-inch brown trout; Case Lake 100 14-inch brook trout, 100 20-inch brook trout and 50 20-inch brown trout. An additional 45 30-inch rainbow trout and 90 14-inch rainbow trout were stocked in Case Lake today (11/7).

If you need more fish-ing information or would like to contribute to the fishing report, please call or e-mail Mike Todd (716-851-7010; [email protected]) or Jim Markham (716-366-0228; [email protected]). Good Luck Fishing!

Senior John Estanislau (E. Longmeadow, Mass.) was a triple winner for the Fredonia State men's swimming and diving team vs. Geneseo on Saturday. Geneseo claimed the team victory, 164-136.

Estanislau won the 200- and 50-yard freestyles in times of 1:47.24 and :21.96, respectively. He won the 100-yard butterfly in a time of :53.59.

Freshman Adam Clouthier (Fairport) was victorious in the 100- and 200-yard breast strokes. In the 100, he finished in 1:02.11, and

in the 200 he turned in a time of 2:18.13.

Off the diving boards, Rafael Santiago (Middletown) won the 1-meter board with a score of 255.60. The 3-meter board was claimed by Joshua Croft (Corning/Corning East) with a score of 266.35.

The final event of the after-noon, the 200-yard freestyle relay, was claimed by the Devils' quartet of Daid Ad-amczak (Akron), Will Baker (E. Amherst/Williamsville North), Andrew Case (Clar-ence) and Adrian Van Hall (Owego). They finished in a time of 1:28.88.

Next Friday, the Devils play host to Alfred Univer-sity. They are slated for a 6 p.m. start.

“I know that Cortland has been good,” he noted. “I know Buff State will be very aggressive. I’ve heard that Brockport is good, but I don’t really know. I ex-pect the league to be tough across the board. We have a lot to prove because we were at the bottom of the league. We have to com-pete to get wins.

“I love when people overlook us,” Seymore continued. “That would be nice, but for some reason I don’t think that

they are. But if they do they’re going to be in trouble.”

Of course, Fredonia State has a proud history of not only producing success on the court, but also in the classroom.

“We stress academics as much as we can,” Seymore said. “We have a study hall. I think that it also has some-thing to do with recruiting and the guys you’re bringing in. I think we’ll make some progress in that area. You just try to emphasize how

important it is and what they’re going to do with their life after basketball.”

With the season set to begin the excitement was palpable at practice on Tuesday — both with the players and the coaching staff.

“I love where I’m at,” Seymore concluded. “I love being here at Fredonia. I really want to see these guys have success this year. They haven’t won yet in their collegiate careers. I’d really like to see them win.”

local sports schedule

That was more than enough scoring as the Bears defense did the rest while keeping the Timber-wolves off the scoreboard at Ralph Wilson Stadium.

There is no New York State Class DD tournament, so Frewsburg’s season is fi n-ished, but it couldn’t have ended on a higher note.

Of course, not every local team that played in the sec-tional championships came home with a trophy. Fredonia and Maple Grove-Chautau-qua Lake both came up on the short end of the stick in their respective title games.

Fredonia fell to Cleveland Hill, 22-13 in the Class C championship game. It was the only loss of the season for the Hillbillies, who were undone by turnovers and penalties.

Matt McCarthy ran for 104 yards on 19 carries and Weston Ley was 9 of 13 for 112 yards through the air, but it wasn’t enough to bring a sectional title back to Fredonia.

In the Class D championship game, the Randolph Car-dinals used 28 unanswered points to down the Maple Grove-Chautauqua Lake Thunder Dragons, 35-12.

It was the 20th straight win for the Cardinals, the No. 1 ranked team in the state.

The Thunder Dragons were actually able to grab a 12-7 lead following a 7-yard touch-down by Graham Nelson and an 11-yard pass from Kyle Mayer to Jonah Tanner.

But Randolph proved to be the better team in scoring 28 straight points the rest of the way and clinching its second straight Section 6 ti-tle. The Cardinals will look to continue their pursuit of a second straight state title on Friday at Sahlen’s Stadium in Rochester.

Last week vs. spread: 8-6

Season vs. spread: 15-12 (.555)

Last week straight: 5-9

Season straight: 13-14 (.481)

Raise your hand if you had the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Jacksonville Jaguars and St. Louis Rams all winning this past week. Yeah, me neither as evidenced by an em-barrassing 5-9 mark in last week’s games. I promise I’ll do better this week. I am a self-proclaimed expert after all.

Week 11 bye weeks: Dallas Cowboys, St. Louis Rams.

iNdiaNapoLiS CoLTS (6-3) at TENNESSEE TiTaNS (4-5)My first instinct here was to side with the Colts because they’re coming off that embarrassing home loss to the horrible Rams and have to be looking to redeem themselves. But then I remembered the Titans just fell victim to the previously winless Jaguars. Both teams will have a lot to prove in this one. But considering Ryan Fitzpatrick is likely to line up under center for the Titans, I’ll go against conventional wisdom that says to take the home team on the short-week Thursday games. I mean, Ryan Fitzpatrick folks. The Colts defense isn’t that bad either. An early punt return touchdown and fumble return for a touchdown set India-napolis up in horrendous shape for the rest of the game. Andrew Luck was forc-ing passes because he had to. That most likely won’t happen in Tennessee. PICK VS. SPREAD: Colts (-3). STRAIGHT PICK: Colts.

NEW yoRK JETS (5-4) at BUffaLo BiLLS (3-7)I wrote last week that Bills fan should temper their expectations for returning quarterback E.J. Manuel. For one, he’s still a rookie and secondly, he’s not that good. No one could have seen the stinker the threw out there against the Steel-ers coming. That was one of the worst offensive performances that I’ve ever seen in the NFL. The Buffalo defense was fairly solid, but they essentially have to pitch a shutout with how putrid the offense is. It might not get better as the Jets have a defense that is vastly supe-rior to the Steelers. The Jets are getting healthier and have already far exceeded season expectations with five wins in nine games. They’re a disappointing 1-3 on the road, but honestly Buffalo fans probably won’t be much into this game as the team hasn’t given them much to cheer about. PICK VS. SPREAD: Jets (+1). STRAIGHT PICK: Jets.

BaLTimoRE RaVENS (4-5) at CHiCago BEaRS (5-4)Bears quarterback Jay Cutler was cruci-fied by fans and media when he left that playoff game against the Packers a few years back with an injury. You know that was going through his head when he played most of the second half of last week’s loss to Detroit with an obvious in-jury. Chicago has now lost both meetings with the Lions and that essentially puts them two games behind in the stand-ings. The Ravens, meanwhile, may have temporarily saved their season with a win over the Bengals. A win on the road against the Bears would be huge as the playoff picture becomes clearer week by week. Ray Rice has yet to get going and that’s a huge concern for the team, but winning ugly is still winning. PICK VS. SPREAD: Ravens (+3). STRAIGHT PICK: Ravens.

CLEVELaNd BRoWNS (4-5) at CiNCiNNaTi BENgaLS (6-4)The suddenly struggling Bengals have seen their lead in the AFC North shrink each of the last two weeks. Now they’ll try to avenge an early-season loss to division-rival Cleveland at home, where the Bengals are a healthy 4-0 this season. Brandon Weeden is clearly terrible, but the Browns are still managing to stick around in the AFC. Willis McGahee is clearly washed up, but the Browns are still managing to stick around in the AFC. Top receiver Josh Gordon may or may not want out, but the Browns are still managing to stick around in the AFC. Crazy things can happen in divi-sion games, but I just don’t see a desper-ate Bengals team losing at home to the Browns. Super Bowl contenders just don’t do that. PICK VS. SPREAD: Bengals (-6). STRAIGHT PICK: Bengals.

WaSHiNgToN REdSKiNS (3-6) at

pHiLadELpHia EagLES (5-5)The Eagles climbed back to .500 with a win over the battered Packers and now get to face the unpredictable Redskins. The Redskins lost to the Vikings last week. That’s not an easy accomplish-ment. But Mike Shannahan and RG3 are far too proud to throw in the towel on the season. Unfortunately for the Redskins, the Eagles are rolling right now. The defense isn’t atrocious and Nick Foles has breathed new life into the offense. Shady McCoy isn’t being asked to do too much, but he’s making the most of his op-portunities and I expect him to find a lot of running room against a very suspect Redskins D. It’s surprising to see the line only at three for a matchup of two teams headed in drastically different direc-tions. PICK VS. SPREAD: Eagles (-3). STRAIGHT PICK: Eagles.

dETRoiT LioNS (6-3) at piTTSBURgH STEELERS (3-6)The Lions are in first place in the NFC North. I repeat: The Lions are in first place in the NFC North. Calvin Johnson is borderline unstoppable and the old, tired Pittsburgh defense certainly isn’t equipped for the job. Yes, they shut down the Buffalo passing attack last week, but the employees at the Chautauqua Star could probably shut down the Buffalo passing attack. Matthew Stafford and Megatron are a different beast altogether. Oh, and that interior of the Steelers offensive line that can’t stop anyone, they’re going to have their hands full with Suh and Co. Ben Roethlisberger better have a good cleaner because his uniform is going to be more grass stain than black and gold by the end of the fourth quarter. PICK VS. SPREAD: Lions (-1). STRAIGHT PICK: Lions.

aTLaNTa faLCoNS (2-7) at Tampa Bay BUCCaNEERS (1-8)What do you make of the Falcons? Every week I expect them to turn the corner and every week they look worse. Maybe it’s because they were my preseason Su-per Bowl pick, but I’ll say it once again: the Falcons will turn a corner this week against the one-win Bucs. I mean, Matt Ryan was pretty good with just Roddy White, so why can’t he be good again without Julio Jones? He still has White, Harry Douglas, Steven Jackson and Tony Gonzalez. At the very least they have to look better than they did against the Sea-hawks last week. The Bucs, meanwhile, actually won a game. Yes, a notch in the win column. Now they’re back at home in a game fans probably had marked on the schedule as a loss before the season started. Now it appears entirely winnable and perhaps even should be winnable. Mike Glennon isn’t making leaps, but he’s making strides at quarterback. Vin-cent Jackson is proving he is among the elite wide receivers in the game. Revis Island looks almost back to full strength, too. PICK VS. SPREAD: Falcons (-1). STRAIGHT PICK: Falcons.

aRiZoNa CaRdiNaLS (5-4) at JaCKSoNViLLE JagUaRS (1-8)Do I really have to write about this game? I mean really? I don’t think I’ve met a Cardinals or Jaguars fan in my entire life. Even if I were to move to Jacksonville I doubt I would ever meet a Jaguars fan. And I don’t think Kurt Warner will be reading this. The Car-dinals defense is for real and that’s why they’ll win this game. In fact, getting to 6-4 would put Arizona in the playoff dis-cussion. But games with Seattle and San

Francisco are still on the schedule and then we’ll see the team’s true colors. I’m excited for when Arizona actually gets a real quarterback though because this is a solid foundation to a football team. PICK VS. SPREAD: Cardinals (-7). STRAIGHT PICK: Cardinals.

oaKLaNd RaidERS (3-6) at HoUSToN TEXaNS (2-7)Again, does anyone care about two teams headed nowhere? The Raiders’ best player is Terrelle Pryor, who leads the team in both passing and rushing. Now if that was in just one game you could say he just had a really good game. But when it happens over the course of 10 weeks, you have to suspect that the rest of the running backs are just horrible. The Texans just made it official that their stud running back Arian Foster will have back surgery and will miss the rest of the year. The only positive taken from this is that now they’ll be even worse and might have a shot to draft a quarterback in a college class that should produce a hand-ful of quality NFL quarterbacks. With only two wins and long out of the playoff picture, is it time for the Texans to play for a high draft pick? You can’t coach NFL players to lose, but play calling and personnel can sure make it hard to win. With both Tampa Bay and Jacksonville winning this past week there’s actually a chance Houston can end up with the No. 1 pick in the draft. I’m willing to bet the Vegas odds on that were astronomi-cal. PICK VS. SPREAD: Raiders (+7). STRAIGHT PICK: Texans.

SaN diEgo CHaRgERS (4-5) at miami doLpHiNS (4-5)The Dolphins’ locker room turmoil most definitely affected their play on the field in a loss to Tampa Bay last week. Well, that and being down two offensive lineman from a group that was already struggling. Ryan Tannehill has struggled to get the ball into the hands of new addition Mike Wallace, but it’s hard to say who is at fault. My take is that Wallace just isn’t that good. Lamar Miller is averaging a healthy 4.5 yards per carry, but for some reason Miami coach Joe Philbin continues to air it out instead of giving the ball to his best weapon. The Chargers have been up and down all year. Nobody expected them to beat Denver, so perhaps giving the Broncos a good game can be considered a moral victory, if those can exist in the NFL. This game however, is basically a must-win for both teams. They could be battling each other for that sixth wild card spot in the AFC, but a sixth loss would be tough to overcome. When it doubt, pick against the West Coast team coming East. PICK VS. SPREAD: Dolphins (+1). STRAIGHT PICK: Dolphins.

gREEN Bay paCKERS (5-4) at NEW yoRK giaNTS (3-6)Again conventional wisdom says to pick the team at home that is coming off three straight wins. Plus the Packers are down to their third-string quarterback after Seneca Wallace went down last week. But assuming quarterback Scott Tolzien can actually make it through a game, I like the Packers’ chances. Keep in mind, in their last two losses their quarterbacks haven’t gotten any first-team reps in practice. Then take a look at the Giants: Turnovers are still a big issue and their three wins are against Minnesota, Philadelphia and Oakland, so it’s not like their beating the 49ers or Seahawks here. Of course, Andre Brown is a legitimate threat at running back and looked to be back with a ven-

geance with his 30 carries against the Raiders. PICK VS. SPREAD: Packers (+6). STRAIGHT PICK: Packers.

SaN fRaNCiSCo 49ERS (6-3) at NEW oRLEaNS SaiNTS (7-2)A classic battle of the unstoppable force against the immovable object, the 49ers will have their hands full trying to slow down Drew Brees and the Saints. If the Saints truly found a running game and it wasn’t just a product of facing the Dal-las ‘defense’ then the Saints may truly be unstoppable. The 49ers held Cam New-ton and the Panthers to just 10 points last week, but it wasn’t enough to get the win as yet another team realized that yes, the Panthers defense is for real. This is anoth-er West Coast team coming East, but the game isn’t until 4:25 EST, so it’s not as big of a deal as a 1:00 kickoff. The Saints are a robust 5-0 at home and while this will be their biggest test thus far, I think they’ll be up for it in their own building. PICK VS. SPREAD: Saints (-3). STRAIGHT PICK: Saints.

miNNESoTa ViKiNgS (2-7) at SEaTTLE SEaHaWKS (9-1)Every Seattle fan and every player in the Seahawks locker room knows that they are lucky to be 9-1. They’ve squeaked by some pretty lousy teams and now get a cushy home matchup with Adrian Peterson and the Vikings. Peterson is having another solid year with nearly 800 yards and nine touchdowns, but you can bet he’ll be see-ing plenty of stacked boxes against the stout Seattle defense. The Seahawks will be without cornerback Brandon Browner, but against the meager Minnesota pass-ing attack they shouldn’t have a problem adjusting. The battered Seahawks offen-sive line better find a way to slow down Jared Allen, however, or he’s going to hogtie Russell Wilson an awful lot. Allen is still one of the most dominating de-fensive players in the league. PICK VS. SPREAD: Vikings (+13). STRAIGHT PICK: Seahawks.

KaNSaS CiTy CHiEfS (9-0) at dENVER BRoNCoS (8-1)Those old Dolphins players will have their champagne on ice for this one. Bumped to primetime, this is the game people have been waiting weeks for. It’s unfortu-nate, however, that the Chiefs have been straight horrible the last few weeks and are lucky they’ve played teams like the Bills that posed no real threat to their perfect record. The Broncos are a different ani-mal altogether, no pun intended. Yes, the Chiefs defense is good. They’re real good. And if the Broncos can’t protect Peyton Manning the Chiefs could force him into mistakes. That’s what Kansas City does, capitalize on mistakes. Of course, KC hasn’t played a team that can run out Demaryius Thomas, Julius Thomas, Wes Welker and Eric Decker as targets for one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. Getting this first matchup at home was great for Denver. Nobody wants to go take on the Chiefs in Arrowhead, let alone in a primetime matchup. I think everyone just expects Denver to win this game, but can you imagine the power shift if the Chiefs come out on top? PICK VS. SPREAD: Chiefs (+8). STRAIGHT PICK: Broncos.

NEW ENgLaNd paTRioTS (7-2) at CaRoLiNa paNTHERS (6-3)Hurray for an exciting Monday Night Football game! Prior to last week’s bye, the Patriots hung 55 points on the Steel-ers. Last week, the Panthers went into San Francisco and beat the mighty 49ers. Yes, both teams certainly have weaknesses, but it’s not out of the realm of possibility that this could be a Super Bowl preview. I still say the Panthers need to let Cam Newton be Cam Newton a little more. His biggest strength is his ability to run and impro-vise. They need to stop trying to force him into being a pocket passer (though he’s pretty good at that too, come to find out). Aaron Dobson has emerged as a viable target for Tom Brady in an offense that lacks dependable hands. Rob Gronkows-ki’s return has certainly helped and he’s looking healthier each week. The biggest difference between these two teams is on defense. The Patriots are banged up badly, missing a pair of Pro Bowlers. The Pan-thers meanwhile are young, talented and hungry. Once Tom Brady starts getting knocked around a little bit he’s a different quarterback. Expect that to happen in this one. PICK VS. SPREAD: Panthers (-3). STRIAGHT PICK: Panthers.

"I am very proud of our All-SU-NYAC team members," women's volleyball head coach Geoff Braun said. "It is always an honor to be recognized by the conference. It is very well deserved by each of these four young ladies."

Freshman forward Kristie Kleine (Cazenovia) made Second Team All SUNYAC in women's soccer. She was joined by senior midfi elder Maria Green (Loudonville) on the Third Team.

Said women's soccer coach Chris Case about Kleine: "She is an incredible athlete, She gives us

an incredible amount of speed in the attack. I look forward to seeing her continued development in the years to come." Case about Green: "She had her best year in

her four years. Did not have a ton of stats but certainly was the player that did the little things."

The lone men's soccer choice was senior midfi elder Chase Lip-shie (Port Jefferson Station). He made the Third Team. Due to a medical redshirt, Lipshie has one season of eligibility remaining.

"Chase was our fi eld general all year," men's head soccer coach P.J. Gondek said. "His energy and leadership was evident in every SUNYAC contest. He will return in 2014 as a team captain."

Rolston was 19-26-6 in his brief tenure as Buffalo coach. Regier had been the Sabres general manager since 1997.

Pegula stressed that the problems went beyond the performance of Regier, who had become the sub-ject of ''Fire Darcy'' chants in Buffalo.

''He didn't do what he did by himself,'' Pegula said. ''There was input from many people, prior owners, myself. Why now? I just decided and that's the only answer I can give you. We work together and sometimes you get to the point where a change was needed.''

The Sabres organization has plenty of familiarity with Nolan and LaFontaine.

Nolan was the Sabres coach from 1995-97,

winning the Jack Adams Award in 1997 as the NHL's top coach. Nolan also coached the New York Islanders from 2006-08.

His current job is coach of the Latvian men's national team, a role he'll con-tinue into the 2014 Winter

Olympics in Sochi, Russia.

LaFontaine starred for the Sabres from 1991-97 and was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2003. He started a job as senior executive for the NHL last month.

''Our job is top to bottom

to bring a championship caliber team year to year,'' said LaFontaine, who is looking to fi ll the vacant general manager's position.

LaFontaine's move into the front offi ce follows contemporaries such as Joe Sakic, who was hired as executive vice president of hockey operations in Colorado in May, and Tampa Bay general man-ager Steve Yzerman.

LaFontaine lacks much front offi ce experience, last-ing only six weeks as senior adviser to Islanders owner Charles Wang in 2006.

Nolan will conduct his fi rst Sabres practice in 16 years this afternoon. Buffalo's next game is Friday at the First Niagara Center against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

By Noey KupchanAP Sports Writer

The surprising New York Jets have tied an NFL record by alternating wins and losses through their fi rst nine games.

Facing the struggling Buf-falo Bills could help them fi nally make it two in a row.

Looking to continue their quest for a playoff spot, the visiting Jets go for an eighth victory in nine matchups against the Bills on Sunday.

Projected by many to fi n-ish near the bottom of the AFC, New York (5-4) has instead managed to hold its own. After watching sev-eral contending teams lose last weekend, the Jets come out of their bye with a one-game lead for the second wild-card spot.

"I think we have a great opportunity in front of us and that's where the excite-ment lies because we know that as a team, our best football is ahead of us," said rookie Geno Smith, whose 13 interceptions are tied for third-most in the league.

"We have been inconsistent and we've shown fl ashes of being a good team, but we've also had moments where we haven't looked so good. We know that as long as we clean up our mistakes and we handle the things

that we can control, we'll have an opportunity."

The Jets followed a 30-27 overtime win over East-leading New England with a 49-9 loss at Cincinnati in Week 8, but they got back on track Nov. 3 by beating NFC South-leading New Orleans 26-20.

Chris Ivory ran for a season-high 139 yards and a touchdown against his former team as New York outgained the Saints 198-41 on the ground. The Jets intercepted Drew Brees twice and made it through the game without a turnover, improving to 5-2 when committing two or fewer.

"We embrace the chal-lenges," tight end Konrad Reuland said. "We truly believe we can beat any team we line up against."

The Jets have to be feeling good about posting back-to-back wins given their re-cent domination of the Bills (3-7). New York, which won 27-20 on Sept. 22 behind Smith's season-high 331 passing yards and three total TDs, have averaged 29.3 points in taking seven of eight from Buffalo.

Coach Rex Ryan, though, knows it would be foolish to take the Bills lightly.

"Nobody's thinking about, 'Hey, let's run seven in a

row off,'" Ryan said. "The only way to get there is to handle your business, and that's what we have to do."

Buffalo has dropped three straight and fi ve of six, los-ing 23-10 at Pittsburgh last Sunday. Rookie EJ Manuel returned from a sprained right knee and went 22 of 39 for 155 yards with a touchdown and an inter-ception as the Bills were held to a season-low 227 yards of total offense.

"The kid missed four weeks and just came back. He's trying his best," coach Doug Marrone said. "He's going through his footwork too quick and not (slowing) down to see things develop as quick. That happens to young quarterbacks.

"Do we expect him to play better than he did last game? Absolutely. Will he play bet-ter? Yes. Yes he will."

Manuel could be in for another long day with two of his favorite targets uncertain to be available. Stevie Johnson, leading the team with 41 receptions and 471 receiving yards, is dealing with a groin injury, and rookie wideout Robert Woods is likely to miss a second consecutive game with a sprained left ankle.

The Jets could have veteran Santonio Holmes (ham-string) available for the fi rst time since Week 4. Holmes

had fi ve catches for 154 yards and a TD in Sep-tember's meeting, and he's scored in four of his last fi ve games against the Bills.

New York is getting tight end Kellen Winslow back after he served a four-game suspension for violat-ing the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances. Winslow is tied for the team lead with two touchdown catches.

The Jets will also be look-ing for big things from wideout David Nelson with Jeremy Kerley (elbow) unlikely to play. Nelson, whose three-year career in Buffalo came to an end after the Bills decided not to tender him a contract as a restricted free agent this offseason, is looking forward to Sunday.

"Anybody who tells you when they play an old team or a team that cut them, that it's just another game, is lying to you," said Nelson, who signed Oct. 2. "This is defi nitely more than just another game for me. It's going to be an emo-tional game. It's going to be a fun game. This game holds a little more in my heart than most others."

Nelson posted 80-yard efforts against the Patriots and Bengals before catch-ing one pass for 19 yards versus the Saints.

More often than not, the holidays are welcomed with a car-pet of white and the winter season becomes a frozen crystal wonder-land. This pocket of precipitation is precisely why winter is a perfect time to plan a visit. With annual snowfall that rivals Colorado ski towns, western New York offers plenty of opportu-nity for downhill snow sports. Near Findley Lake, the Peek’n Peak Resort and Spa provides an excellent backdrop for true begin-ners all the way to expert level skiers and snowboarders with 27 slopes, eight chairlifts, three progression terrain parks and a

half pipe. There is a tubing area and trails for cross-country skiing. The instructors at Peek’n Peak’s Snow Sports School are profes-sionally trained and the lodges, dining rooms, pool and spa are welcome amenities after a day on

the slopes. Chautauqua's numerous trails and open spaces provide access for cross country skiing and snow shoeing. Long Point State Park, Lake Erie State Park, Chautauqua

Institution, and the Jamestown Audubon Center offer picturesque landscapes, trails, and poten-tial for wildlife viewing. A local retailer, Evergreen Outfitters, schedules regular guided snow-shoe hikes, including one during the full moon. More than 400 miles of trails groomed by five local snowmobile clubs provide an ideal setting for sledding over old railroad beds, former trolley lines, open farm fields, heavily wooded areas, and seasonal roads. Trails officially open a week or so before Christ-mas, weather permitting. New York requires that all sleds be registered and advanced prepara-tion is recommended. Information on how to register and where to find trail conditions is available at http://www.tourchautauqua.com/snowmobiling.aspx.

Winter is a great time to visit the wineries in Lake Erie Wine Coun-try. Tasting rooms are less crowd-ed than during the peak summer and fall tourist seasons, the ex-perience is more educational and intimate, and many new vintages are released. Also winter and Ice Wine, a specialty wine unique to the northern climate, naturally go together. During the annual Wine and Chocolate Weekend, February 14-16, 2014, each of the participat-ing wineries will pair a luscious chocolate creation with a wine accompaniment. Brewery tours are popular at Southern Tier Brewing Company throughout the year. The Empty Pint Brewery Pub offers a selec-tion of 14 draught beers, includ-ing some guest taps, Thursday through Saturday, evenings, and Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Hickory smoked pulled pork,

meatloaf, and cheese sandwiches, snacks and non-alcoholic bever-ages are also on the menu. Guided tours of the brewery are offered on Saturdays at 12:15, 1:00, 1:45, 2:30, 3:15 and 4 p.m. The 45-min-ute tours are available on a fi rst come basis and often sell out by mid-afternoon. Visitors should prepare for touring a working pro-duction facility that may be hot, cold, wet and noisy. The annual Currier & Ives Sleigh Rally takes place at Chautauqua Institution, Sunday, January 19, 2014. While the rally participants are horsemen and their sleighs, spectators can watch the Victorian style sleighs and costumed drivers as they parade through the historic grounds with sleigh bells jingling at approximately 12 noon. Sleigh rides are offered on Sat-urdays and Sundays throughout

January and February through the historic grounds of Chautau-qua Institution. Rides run every half hour from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. and tickets are available at the Chautauqua Bookstore on Bestor Plaza. This is a lot of fun for couples or as an outing for the whole family. President’s Day Weekend brings with it the annual Winter Festival in Mayville, February 14-16, 2014 featuring events, activities, and contests for all ages including fi re-works, a fl are parade, bonfi re and horse drawn wagon rides. If the weather cooperates, visitors might see ice and snow sculptures, or even a castle made from blocks of ice harvested in the traditional way from Chautauqua Lake. Holiday memories wait at the Fenton History Center in Jame-stown. Held November 29 to

January 18, 2014, the Center’s annual holiday exhibit, “Signs of the Season”, fi lls four fl oors of the elegant 1863 Fenton Mansion and includes a dozen decorated Christmas trees. Visitors will learn about Jamestown's holiday traditions while listening to old time Christmas carols. New for 2013, costumed museum guides will offer candlelight tours of the mansion on Saturday evenings from 7 to 8 p.m. Bed and breakfasts, vacation homes, resorts and inns are avail-able for lodging during the winter months, providing getaway time by the hearth, with some hot chocolate, a bottle of local wine or some Southern Tier beer. For more ideas on visiting Chau-tauqua County any time of year, visit http://www.tourchautauqua.com or call 1-866-908-4569.

Christmas in the Village of Westfield 2013 will be a three-day family-friendly event to mark the begin-ning of the magical holi-day season in Westfield. From Santa’s arrival and horse-drawn carriage rides through the village to the Hall of Christmas and Victorian Tea, Westfield’s Christmas in the Village offers something for every age and every budget and is a perfect way to get into the holiday spirit.

sunday, nov. 18The Hall of Christmas will be open on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Eason

Hall. The Westfield Wom-en's Organization will also be holding the 2013 Holly Tour of selected homes decked out for the holiday season. Tickets cost $10 and are available at the Hall of Christmas. Show your Holly Tour ticket at the door of the Hall of Christmas and register for Door Prizes.

Come participate in the weekend's events, and vis-it the village's shops and restaurants to discover all that Westfield has to offer. Together we will usher in the 2013 holiday season of peace, love, good will and merriment at Christmas in the Village of Westfield, New York.

Friday, nov. 22 ‘Family night’Events on Friday kick off when Santa arrives to light the "Christmas Tree" in Moore Park at 6 p.m. San-ta will come rain or shine, but we don’t know how he will travel. In years past Santa has arrived on trac-tor, grape picker and horse drawn wagon so this year it is anyone’s guess. From there, Santa goes to the YWCA (58 S. Portage) for visits and pictures with children, treats, beverages and fun activities. Family Night is a free event.

saturday, nov. 23The Hall of Christmas at Eason Hall (Elm Street) opens its doors Saturday

morning at 10 a.m. with purveyors of fine mer-chandise and food. The Hall of Christmas remains open until 4 p.m. Santa will be available for visits with children in Eason Hall in the afternoon. Shawn Wilder will enter-tain visitors by singing holiday, pop, country and crooner’s music. Free horse-drawn carriage rides from Magic Mo-ments Carriages begin at 11 a.m. and continue throughout the day until 4 pm. The rides depart from and return to Eason Hall.

A Victorian Tea will be served at the George P. York mansion on Portage Street, on the hour, from 12 p.m. until 3 p.m. A but-

ler will greet guests at the door and escort them into the charming, Victorian-era rooms for tea and light refreshments. Because seating is limited, only 20 tickets will be sold for each seating and guests are asked to arrive no ear-lier than the hour shown on their ticket and to park on the street or enjoy a horse-drawn carriage ride from Eason Hall. Tickets are available at the Mc-Clurg Museum, Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. and are $10 per person.

For more information, please contact Marilyn Hemmer at 326-3504 or 753-6043, or by email at [email protected].
