Every winter, hundreds of western New Yorkers join in the ‘Freezin’ for a Reason’ Polar Plunge. The seventh annual Western New York Polar Plunge is sched-uled for Saturday, Dec. 7. The plunge will be held at Woodlawn Beach State Park in Buffalo, New York, and starts at 11 a.m.Proceeds will benefit the Special Olympics of Western New York. Participants have already raised over $53,000 this year, through donations sponsoring those who will be ‘taking the plunge.’That number of total donations can only get higher, as money is donated to this great, and unique cause by the minute. Watching the website, updated donation totals can be seen each time the web page is refreshed.Money is raised in sponsorship of those who will be entering Lake Erie’s frigid winter waters, which currently hold a temperature of 41 degrees Fahrenheit. Those who choose to take the plunge can either dive all the way into the icy lake, or stick a toe in.Several plunges are held each

year in NY, all with different locations, and a wide age range of those participating. Five plunges have already taken place this year, with four more open for registration before the end of the year, and five more scheduled for the winter season of 2014.

‘Plungers’ can be of any age, although for participants under the age of 18, a written letter of consent must be submitted. Many young people have taken part in this event, creating awesome memories and giving them a chance to give back to their com-

munity and get involved.“I wanted to do this because I want to make sure that the Special Olympics is able to con-tinue to impact peoples lives in a positive way,” said Josh Horch,

A local ski resort is hoping the snowfall we experienced the week of Thanksgiving is an early sign that they will be on track for above-average business this winter.With annual lake effect snow-fall averaging over 200 inches, Chautauqua County is a winter lover’s paradise for skiers and snowboarders. In addition to the hopes of having plenty of the white stuff for downhill skiers and snowboarders to enjoy, the folks at the Holiday Valley ski resort were busy over the sum-mer coordinating the addition of new features and state-of-the-art equipment, spending significant amounts of money in the hopes of luring back past customers as

well as attracting new patrons.The upgrades at Holiday Val-ley represent over $3 million in investments that focused on es-tablishing a better surface for ski-ers and snowboarders while also offering educational opportuni-ties for those who just learning how to enjoy the winter months outdoors in a safe and enjoyable environment.According to marketing direc-tor Jane Eshbaugh, a recent summary of Holiday Valley’s reinvestments over the past 22 years found the resort has spent an estimated $120 million on improvements that include new lifts, new slopes, new base lodges, new lodging and the purchase of various pieces of grooming equipment.Holiday Valley’s snowmak-ing capabilities cover about 95

percent of the resort, with the use of an automated system for making snow that includes built-in weather stations so the setting can easily be adjusted for changes in temperature and humidity.“The end result is that we can efficiently make more snow on more slopes, even in short win-dows of cold weather,” said Jane Eshbaugh. “Last month we were able to get 175 guns running within an hour. Without automa-tion, that number would have been 25 guns. On opening day we were able to have 18 slopes and six lifts open, which if course was aided by Mother Nature, who gave us about 18 inches of natural snow.” A Burton “Riglet Park” is being constructed at the base of the School Haus beginner’s slope, where new skiers are taught the fundamentals on a much more

flatter surface than what is found on other hills. The flat areas gives each beginning skier more control and, just as importantly, more confidence as they learn the basics of downhill skiing. Snowboarders will also learn the proper protocol and be given tips for how to best navigate while using their equipment. There is also a new terrain-based learning park for novice snow-boarders who may still be a bit leery of doing full-fledged tricks in the “regular” terrain park. The new terrain-based park will also boarders to learn the basics and master skills that include stopping, turning and gliding. New automated snow guns have been added to the Cindy’s Run, Foxfire, Sunrise and Edelweiss slopes to allow Holiday Val-ley employees to produce snow

The spirit of the holiday season came early this year in the form of volunteers across Chautauqua County decorating trees in remem-brance of loved ones.For the ninth year area residents are getting the chance to memorialize a lost loved one by help-ing Hospice Chautauqua County decorate trees with red bows as part of the Light-A-Life memorial campaign.According to Megan D’Angelo, director of com-munity relations for Hos-pice Chautauqua County, the Light-A-Life memorial tree-lighting ceremony is an opportunity to honor a lost loved one.“The holidays are a time for remembering your loved ones,” said D’Angelo. “We wanted to bring those cherished memories back,

so we always know that even though you’ve lost someone, it’s not forever, because they will always be there in your heart. We’re hoping that everybody can come together to unite as one in cherishing our memories of loved ones.”Individuals who make a gift of $5 or more to Hos-pice Chautauqua County will have a red bow hung on memorial trees located throughout the county, in addition to having a loved one’s name listed in the tree-lighting memorial program.In addition to the memo-rial red bows, gifts of $25, $50 and $100 or more will acknowledge donators as a patron, a silver patron and a gold patron, respec-tively. Patrons will receive a unique hand-crafted porcelain snowflake orna-ment, silver patrons will receive a porcelain angel ornament with a dove, and gold patrons will receive both the snowflake and the

angel ornament.The bows and ornaments are available by Hospice Chautauqua County, online at www.hos-picechautco.org, through the honor society students of Jamestown High School, or Clymer, Falconer and Brocton central schools and in your participating town or village. Falconer High School Honor Society placed the red memorial bows they sold on the Hospice trees in Lakewood. Karen Cot-ton’s Lakewood Girl Scout troop also helped place the sold bows on the trees. The Falconer High School Honor Society’s advisor, Lee Ann Russell was very impressed with the stu-dent’s hard work selling the bows. “We all know how important Hospice is, and by asking my students if they have been touched by Hospice, most of them raise their hands and has a story ready to tell,” said Russell. D’Angelo continued with,

“We are very honored by the participation of not only the students, but also the community. It amazes me each day how many people are willing to help raise awareness and take part in such an important cause. We are so lucky to live in a community with so many generous, caring people.” Trees are located through-out the county at locations such as the Dr. Lillian Vitanza Ney Renaissance Center in Jamestown; the Ellington town hall; Gerry town hall; Sinclairville town park; Clymer; Village of Brocton; Town of Chau-tauqua; Hospice in Lake-wood; Barker Commons in Fredonia (Miracle on Main); Bemus Point; North Harmony; Silver Creek; Gateway Train Station and JAMA in Jamestown.For more information call 338-0033 or visit www.hospicechautco.org for tree lighting dates and times.

Dear Pastor, what does walk-ing in love mean?Last week we looked at two as-pects of walking in love found in 1 Corinthians 13:5…not seeking his own (not being selfish) and choos-ing to think good about someone, regardless of circumstances or po-tential offense. We saw that walk-ing in love implies a forgiving and other-centered attitude. This week we will discuss 1 Corinthian 13:6, “(love) does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth.” This verse has much to say about the concept of walking in love. “Rejoicing in iniquity” can oc-cur when one person takes joy or

delights in the misfortune or hurts of another. For example, this can happen during an argument, where one person gloats in their “win-ning” or being right. This can also be seen in situations where someone finds themselves smirking about an unpopular neighbor who got their “come-up-ance” when they dented their bragged-about new car. Even if the other person wasn’t right in how they acted, we must walk in love. Anytime we feel good about someone else’s trou-bles…we are rejoicing in iniquity. Not very loving and definitely not “what Jesus would do”! The problem mentioned in 1 Cor-

inthians 13:5 can have many roots including envy, jealousy, and inse-curity. Walking in love requires us to recognize any bad roots within ourselves and go against our fleshly feelings. In Matthew 6:44 Jesus said to, “…bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you.” We can also read about an example found in the Old Testament where Aaron and Miriam (Moses’ brother and sister) were punished by God due to their complaining against Moses. Rather than rejoicing that they “got theirs”, Moses fell on his face and cried out to God to forgive

them (Numbers 12:1-13). I know in my own life that when I’ve felt bad towards someone who may be giving me a hard time, I’ll get on my knees and pray about God blessing them and providing for them. I am then able to better walk in love. Over time, I will find myself honestly glad about any good fortune that comes their way and that any remaining bad feel-ings go away! Walking in love can be challenging but it defiantly has a good return in many aspects of our relationships!Next week…we continue in 1 Cor-inthians 13.

Power From On High Part 3Today I want to further our study on what the Bible calls the bap-tism of the Holy Spirit. John the Baptist spoke of it in Matthew 3:11. Jesus spoke about it in Acts 1:5. The Apostles along with the 120 believers received this experience in Acts 2:4. The Samaritan believers received this experience in Acts 8:14-17. Acts 8:16 says, “For as yet He (the Holy Spirit) was fallen upon none of them (Samaritans) only they were baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus.” Notice that these believers had made a public witness of their acceptance of Christ yet the Holy Spirit was not upon them. How is that possible? The New Testament is clear: The Holy Spirit is at work in the New Birth but there is yet a greater dynamic of the

Spirit to receive after salvation.Let’s take a look at yet another example in the New Testament. Acts 19:1-2 says, “And it came to pass…Paul…came to Ephesus and finding certain DISCIPLES,” Who did Paul find? These men were called disciples. If they were called disciples, do you think that Paul was under the impression that they were believers? Of course he was. We know he thought they were disciples because look at the next verse. Verse 2 says, “Paul said to them ‘Have you received the Holy Spirit SINCE YOU BELIEVED...” If you received all the Holy Spirit upon believing then why would the Apostle Paul ever ask such a ques-tion? Notice the words “SINCE YOU BELIEVED”. Paul was ask-ing them if there was ever a time

between the moments they first believed and now that they received the Holy Spirit. Paul’s question makes it abundantly clear that there is another experience that comes after salvation. But let’s keep reading in Acts 19.Verse 2 continues by saying, “…and they said to Paul ‘We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.” These men were completely ignorant to the existence of the Holy Spirit. This tells us that we can be ignorant to things God has for us if we are not taught. And just because we’re not taught these things does not take away from the truth of the New Testament. In the next verse we learn what Paul was doing.Verse 3 says, “And Paul said to

them, ‘Unto what then were you BAPTIZED?’…” Paul is trying to locate the spiritual progress of these Ephesian disciples. He wants to know whether or not they have been baptized in the Holy Spirit. They tell Paul that they’ve only been baptized by John the Baptist. When Paul hears this he explains to them that Christ was to come after John and that they needed to believe on Him. These men believe on Christ and get baptized in water. But that wasn’t all there was for them.Verse 6 says, “And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them and they spoke with tongues and proph-esied.” There is another experience after salvation. I will continue the study next week.

Some kids get so excited about Christmas that they have their holiday wish lists completed before they even pick out their Halloween costumes. And as mothers of those pumped up holi-day kids, we do everything within our parental power to ensure that each item is crossed off the list so there are no disappointed chil-dren on Christmas morn-ing. We also make sure our hubby’s or significant other’s Christmas list is taken care of, our parents’ lists, and even our favorite niece or nephew’s list. We check everyone’s lists, not once but twice, so that no one feels let down or put out by not getting what they wanted. As mothers, it’s what we do, ensuring that all our loved ones have their needs and wants for the holiday met. After all that shopping and buying and gift wrapping and mailing and presenting, we are downright whooped and ready for a respite before the holiday season begins again next year.

Yet Christmas morning, as we sit and watch our family unwrap their gifts, finding everything that was on their lists, we may often find our-selves present-less or with a trinket or two in our stock-ing and that’s it. Thinking back, we may have told our family “oh, don’t worry about it” or “I don’t want anything” when they asked us what we wanted for Christmas. And for once, they actually listened to our wishes despite our wishing that they hadn’t. We actu-ally did have a Christmas wish list, a mental list, but it really doesn’t do us any good if our pride gets the best of us, or stubbornness, whichever you prefer to call it. While it is the giving and not the receiving that is most important, our human nature intervenes and deep down, all we want is a little sign of appreciation on that cold December morning once a year. Having a Christmas wish list for yourself, in addi-tion to the other household member’s wish lists, does not mean that a woman is selfish, self-centered or a material girl. A woman with

a wish list is a woman that knows herself, can identify her needs and desires and communicates effectively with her family. A holiday list eliminates guessing games, inappropriate or frivolous spending or the buying of cheap holiday crap. A written holiday list won’t contain dusting slippers, a new colander or an ice scraper for the car. The list would contain items such as a painting set and easel, a set of favorite author’s books, a few of your favorite accessories, a list of favorite music CDs or movies, or even a big thing like a weekend getaway with the husband or a day spa certificate. The Christmas wish list should be a reflec-tion of your personality, your unique interests, and present ideas for those loved ones that just can’t seem to figure out what to get the matriarch of the household.If your husband or fam-ily is anything like mine, unless I provide some kind of Christmas list to be used as a guide, it’s highly likely I can end up with a new set of camouflage boots that just happen to be two sizes

too big (but fit my husband perfectly) or a new Nintendo game for a DS I don’t have. I could also get a new kitch-en appliance for making my family’s favorite meal or a great new tool for cleaning the house more efficiently. By having a Christmas wish list, at least I can specify that I want the pink hand drill, not the black one, and the yoga CD for the Wii instead of a Super Mario game.A Christmas wish list should not be used as a set up for your loved ones, to show how much they do or don’t care about you. A wish list should be used as a com-munication tool, just as a child’s list should be, to let your loved ones (or Santa) know what you would like under the tree. A list should provide options, from the in-expensive to the more elabo-rate. It should not be all inclusive and there should be flexibility to deviate from the list. If you specify a diamond tennis bracelet, yet the hubby comes home with an emerald ring, there’s nothing to complain about in my eyes. But that’s me.

In the end, whether the gift is a “World’s Greatest Mom” coffee mug with a picture of the kids or tickets for two to a Broadway play, knowing that your family thought of you (the person that makes it all happen) during the holiday and not just themselves is what we really want. We want them to show appreciation for others, we want to feel appreciated by them, and it doesn’t take much for them to show it or us to feel it.

We also need to show ap-preciation and gratitude towards ourselves for all of our hard work and dedica-tion to our loved ones, by creating our own holiday wish list this year. Don’t be a holiday martyr, give yourself the gift of a holiday wish list and see what hap-pens in your household this Christmas. You could be pleasantly surprised.

what’s on your Christmas wish List

“Christmas wish lists aren’t just for the kids, yet many women leave themselves off the family holiday shopping list or have no personal list at all for sharing their wishes with their loved ones.”

• If you have been injured in an auto accident, New York State Law requires the insurance carrier for the vehicle you were in to cover your related medical expenses and any lost wages (Insurance Law Section 5103).

• Recently, many insurance carriers are attempting to avoid this legal duty by paying biased doctors, often from outside the area, to support them in cutting off these impor-tant benefits.

CAMPBELL & SHELTON LLP has taken the following steps to protect our clients:

• We will send an investigator to any suspicious exams and videotape the physician.

• We will sue any insurance carrier who denies our clients their benefits without a validbasis (we recently obtained a judgment against Allstate for a client’s unpaid benefits,costs and interest).

For these and many other reasons, if you are injured in an automobile accident youneed experienced and capable legal representation as soon as possible.

Caring For Pets… Caring For FamiliesFredonia Animal Hospital

By Katy WiseContributing Writer

During these shivery days, we start spending more and more time inside, hitting the ‘snooze’ button as many times as possible to stay in our warm beds. The fuzzy blankets knit-ted by your aunt, which were neglected all summer long make a comeback as your most prized posses-sion, and favorite hot cocoa mugs find their place at the front of the shelf once more.As much as I love snow, my favorite snow related activ-ity by far, is being snuggled up inside while watching the snow fall outside. I love spring and summer weather, but there’s some-thing about being stuck inside your cozy home.Being forced inside is a great opportunity to build memories with your fam-ily. Watching a beloved Christmas movie, baking or playing board games are great ways to spend time together.Growing up, I can’t recall a family get together that did not involve cards or some sort of (mostly) orga-nized game. I have fond memories of sitting under-neath the table, listening to the chaos above me. This chaos was fun being had and memories being made. My uncle, always the scorekeeper and ref-eree, and my dad the chal-lenger of rules (some may call this person the cheater, but I think he’s just testing the ref’s knowledge of the game.)

There was always some friendly disagreement over how the game was sup-posed to be played, and some competition that wasn’t always as friendly.One particular game session I remember was a game of ‘Spoons’ played at the first Thanksgiving my husband (at the time my boyfriend) attended with me. If you have never played spoons, I highly recommend it, but I also advise you to know the competition levels of your opponents.There is a part of the game where if someone gets out, they are given the opportu-nity to get other players out o the game as well. How do they accomplish this task? By talking to them, and trying to engage them in conversation.If you, a current player of the game, talk to a ‘PIG,’ then you are also automati-cally out. My husband, be-ing a newbie to the game, was the first one out. He took this opportunity to try and get all of my family members out as well.Being his first impression, maybe I shouldn’t have let him partake in the game. He made my mother his target, making up plans about how he was going to move her youngest daugh-ter to California and she would never see us again.Although we were young, I knew then that we were going to get married some-day, and I was dreadfully concerned that he had destroyed any plans of my family ever liking him. Thankfully, my family is

equally competitive, and rather than being of-fended by his comments to the point of rejecting this potential spouse I had brought to a family holi-day, they simply gave him a taste of his own medi-cine.I don’t have any recol-lection of who won the game that day. What I do know is that it makes for a hilarious memory of how my husband came into the family. Someday it will be a funny story to tell our boys, and a learning opportunity for what not to do when meeting the family of a potential spouse. On a side note, he has since made a far better impression than that first one.As I mentioned before, watching a movie together is another great way to spend quality time. Having little ones, it can sometimes be easy to watch a movie with them while you catch up on folding the laundry, or tidying up the house. However, what means the most to them, is for you to put your other chores aside, and spend that time focusing on them. There will always be laundry to fold, but kids won’t always want to spend snuggle time with you.So enjoy this snugly season, and find time to relax and enjoy some hot cocoa during our next snow storm, because as all of us Western New York-ers know, the storm of the season will most likely be unforecasted.

A lot of us have always wanted to buy that first train set for that special family member, under the Christmas tree, or for ourselves. Here are some helpful tips when buying.For a young child, consider the fact that good motor skills begin to develop at age five. Any younger, an adult should spend qual-ity time and guide them thoroughly. Watch those little hands!The most common sized or scales are: G, O-27, HO and N scale.G- is large and can be used outside for garden layouts. They look really nice and

full under the Christmas tree. They’re generally a bit costly, but are easy to place on the track.O-27- the oldest style, and still a popular train. They can mostly be found under the Christmas tree, and are remembered for Grandpa’s classic layout. Lionel Trains is an excellent brand, and offers this size now with remote controls.HO- the most popular. You can create terrific layouts on a 4’x8’ sheet of plywood. This scale has grown to be the favorite of most train enthusiasts.N- the smallest of the above scales, this is about the size of Hot Wheels cars. This scale requires a skilled hand and an experienced modeler. You can create a

massive layout on a 4’x8’ sheet of plywood.Bova’s Music and Train Shope has wall to wall train sets in-stock and are very helpful in making the right decision for your first train set this Christmas. Visit the store, ask lots of questions and check out the digital layout. Get ready to enjoy the ride of your life.Bova’s Music and Train Shoppe is located at 31 Mc-Clurg Street in Westfield.

“I want to make sure that it gets better every year.”Horch is in the tenth grade at Fredonia High School, and is a volunteer and friend of the Func-tional Life Skills class at FHS. With $240 raised for the event so far, Horch has utilized his Facebook page, and reached out to classmates, teachers, fel-low church attenders and family through posters and email.Also on Horch’s team, the ‘Artic Hillbillies,’ is Fredo-nia High School Special Education teacher, Kristin Tomaszewski, along with her 8 year old daughter, Josephine, who will be par-ticipating for her first time this year.

“I love this event because it is a great example of the creative ways we can find to give back to our commu-nity,” said Tomaszewski, “ I also like this event because I know that the money stays local and will be used to benefit the athletes of Western New York.” Called ‘Mrs.T’ by the students who inspire her to partake in this event, Tomaszewski will be plung-ing for her fourth time this 2013 season. “It was a lot of fun. I loved to see how happy everyone was. Watching them smile and reaching their full potential,” said Horch, “It was contagious. Knowing that I was able to be a part of their happiness made me

feel good. “Along with jumping in the freezing cold water, there are incentives for those who register to be a part of this event. For those who are able to raise $100, there are prizes of official Polar Plunge sweatshirts, and more prizes for each level of money that is brought in for the organization.There will be events for everyone in attendance, not just the ‘swimmers.’ Food, and music will be available, and for people wanting to get some more use out of their Halloween costume, there will even be a cos-tume party to enter.

Kati Russell is a single mother of four who has had several near death experiences in her life due to chronic asthma. She transformed these traumatic experiences into compelling angel images and shares her message through beautiful and inspirational paintings.Angels of Hope Learning Center is hosting a Angels of Miracles Art Exhibit with Kati Russell at The White Inn, 52 East Main Street, Fredonia, this Saturday, December 7 from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. Visitors can explore the divinely inspired art. This special ‘meet and greet’ event will also feature a talk by Russell on her art at 2:30 p.m.Coupled with Russell’s chronic illness, she has jour-neyed through a life of grief,

chaos, and abuse while rais-ing her children alone. She began painting the angels which emerged in her life after the first near death experience as a strength, protection and comfort when she had no family to lean on.“The first angels emerged somewhat transparent in small watercolors. Each image became more fluid and alive. Soon they transformed canvases as visual experiences,” Russell describes.“Most people think that angels are invisible. If you take the time to invite them into your life you can see miracles happen,” she con-tinued.Her book, “Divine Images”, depicts many of her works of art along with the passages describing the angels and the specific healing work they each do.

“We are holding the event to showcase Kati’s very spe-cial inspirational angel art. The angels have a healing energy all their own, with each angel focusing on a specific healing need,” said Brenda Reading, co-founder of Angels of Hope Learning Center. “We have a special blessing in our Fredonia vil-lage, as Kati is very discern-ing about who and where her angels are displayed.” “The Angels of Hope Center has a wide variety of her angels, along with the information regarding them. Come, browse and “sit with” the healing, inspi-rational energy of her angel art,” said Reading.Angels of Hope Learning Center, located on Park Place in Fredonia, features custom framed prints and originals of Russell’s art that are available for purchase. Also available are Rus-sell’s Angelus Prayer Cards,

which are cards of her artwork used for meditation and guidance.Also on December 7, An-gels of Hope is hosting a Miracles of Healing Expo a their 8 Park Place location in Fredonia from 10:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The expo event offers on site Reiki healing, psychic, medium and intui-tive card readings, Crystal therapy, hypnotherapy, spiritual coaching and holis-tic education. Expo vendors include healing crystals and stones, organic soaps, essen-tial oil and Reiki charged candles, handmade drift-wood crafts, inspirational angel art and cards, Angels of Hope (Burning Asphalt) sauces and much more.Immediately following the expo is a Jewelry Wire Wrapping Class with Lizabeth Skinner from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The fee to participate in the class is $25 which includes choice of

pendant stone.Pre-registration for the Jew-elry Wire Wrapping Class is encouraged. All other events are free and open to the

The holidays are for family fun and creating treasured memories that last a lifetime. Festivals Fredonia, Inc. the organizers of Miracle on Main Street taking place December 7, have a full schedule of activities lined up that the whole family will enjoy. Central to the many events taking place across the village of Fredonia is the ar-rival of Santa Claus. Along with Rudolph and Frosty, he makes his first appearance of

the day at the Telecommuni-cations Museum of Fredonia where children can try out an old fashioned way of communicating by sending a telegram to the North Pole. Adults and children alike may also take a tour of the new location and try out the interactive exhibits between 10:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Santa then heads over to the D.R.

Christmas and child-hood usually evoke happy memories. The Fenton History Center’s 34th annual holiday exhibit is about the nostalgia of those childhood Christmas times. When one thinks of the holidays - food and family memories come to mind. The sounds of familiar carols bring back many memories of holiday celebrations. The tradi-tions that we carry forward each year are featured in the “Signs of the Season” exhibit. Why do we have a tree in our house over the holiday? Why do we eat certain foods? Where did Santa Claus come from? All these and other ques-tions are answered in the mansion-wide exhibit. The exhibit opens Black Friday, November 29 and is up through Doors Open Jame-stown on Jan. 18, 2014.Exhibit designer Sara Reale says, “As we age, the holiday spirit sometimes fades. I want our holiday visitors to experience “deja vous” if only for a second, when they see the exhibit. I want them to feel like they did as children. More often than not I see visitors faces light up when they see certain parts of the exhibit like the aluminum tree forest and the front hall case filled with ornaments and other small items that seemed to be in everyone’s Grandmother’s house.”

A special feature of the holiday exhibit this year is the winter village. It is comprised of over fifty buildings, cars, and people. The village is alive with activities and lights. Many elementary class-rooms have booked holiday tours of the exhibit. Ms. Reale says, “The exhibit meets a number of the NY State social studies cur-riculum standards for the elementary grades. Kwan-zaa, Hanukah and the celebration of the Three Kings are part of the ex-hibit. It is a fun field trip for the classes. They seem to

really enjoy the size of the Mansion and the beauty of the exhibits.”Why let the children have all the fun? New this year are Candlelight Tours of the Mansion beginning this Saturday evening at 7 PM. They are open to all. The tours are held every Saturday night in Decem-ber at 7 PM. The cost is $10 for Fenton members and $15 for non-members. Memberships are available prior to the tour start. The Fenton History Center is located at 67 Washington St, just south of the Wash-ington Street Bridge past the Forest Ave. traffic light. The museum is open year-round Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information visit www.fentonhistorycenter.org or call 716-664-6256.

Sarah Segal, a sixth grade Social Studies teacher at Hood River Middle School in Hood River, Oregon was presented with the first annual Robert H. Jackson Center National Award for Teaching Justice at the National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS) Annual Conference in St. Louis, MO on November 22, 2013. Co-sponsored by NCSS, this prestigious award was created to recognize individuals who have made an outstanding contribution toward teach-ing the concept of justice in creative, inspiring ways, which may include teach-ing about civil liberties, human rights, international humanitarian law, the Ho-locaust, genocide studies, or local issues of justice.

“Sarah has consistently ap-proached her work the way Jackson did – with courage, intelligence, and far-sighted vision that individuals and their rights are important,” said Drew Beiter, Director of Youth Education for the Jackson Center. “Your ac-tions honor our profession, and are a reminder that teachers are the torch-bear-ers of civilization.”A middle school teacher for the past 10 years, Segal received a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology/Anthropology from Western State Col-lege of Colorado in 1998 and a Master’s Degree in Curriculum and Instruc-tion from the University of Montana in 2004. She has received numerous awards and grants and has participated in national and international travels for first-hand exploration of social, economic, envi-ronmental, and historical

interconnectivity of peoples throughout the world. “Middle School students are developmentally ready to understand that the lines between right and wrong are sometimes blurry. Historic and modern cir-cumstances are repeatedly complex,” related Segal. “The human rights curric-ulum helps students reflect on personal responsibilities, advances critical thinking, and promotes responsible civic engagement.”Born in rural northwest-ern Pennsylvania, Robert H. Jackson was a country lawyer in Jamestown, NY who subsequently served as Solicitor General, At-torney General, and as an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Following World War II, Justice Jackson was selected by President Tru-man to be the Chief U.S. Prosecutor at Nuremberg,

where his ground-breaking work served as a model for today’s International Criminal Tribunals in The Hague, Africa and else-where.The Robert H. Jackson Center in Jamestown, New York was established to honor and advance Jus-tice Jackson’s remarkable legacy, pursue the rele-vance of his life’s work, and to provide an educational facility for those purposes. The Center’s programs place special emphasis on educating youth on issues of justice and fairness. The Center is located at 305 East Fourth Street, Jamestown, NY. Tours are available from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m., Monday – Saturday. Visit www.roberthjackson.org for additional informa-tion, or contact the Robert H. Jackson Center at (716) 483-6646.

Do you ever reach the point of frustration where you’re past being mad and all you can do is laugh?

That’s where I was when Stevie Johnson quite literally fumbled away the Buffalo Bills’ playoff hopes late in Sunday’s 34-31 OT loss to the Atlanta Falcons.

By now we should all be used to watching Johnson nearly single-handedly clutch defeat from the jaws of victory, but it still hurts. Who can forget when he called out God — yes, God — after dropping a sure game-winning touchdown against the Steelers a few years back? Oh, and remem-ber when the Bills should have been able to run out the clock and beat the rival New England Patriots earlier this season? What happened in that game? Of course Stevie dropped an easy pass that would have gained a fi rst down and given New Eng-land almost no chance of getting the ball back.

Bills Will Review Future Of Toronto

GamesBy John WawrowAP Sports Writer

Buffalo Bills President Russ Brandon expressed concern over whether his team loses a competi-tive edge by playing annual home games in Toronto.

During his weekly show on Buf-falo's WGR-AM on Wednesday, Brandon said while the ''Bills In Toronto'' series helps boost the team's revenue, it hasn't paid off in wins. The Bills are 1-5 in Toronto.

Sherman showed no mercy to host Westfi eld in capturing the Westfi eld Winter Classic cham-pionship, 62-52, Saturday night.

After knocking off Forestville on Friday, the Wildcats came out quickly to grab a 12-6 lead after the fi rst quarter. Westfi eld was pressured into numerous turnovers thanks to a suffocat-ing Sherman defense.

Things didn’t get much better for the home team in the second quarter as Sherman ran out to a 29-13 halftime lead.

Sherman’s offense was effi cient, if not dynamic. The balanced attack was led by Jake Card’s 14 points and 12 rebounds. Ryan Robson and Devon Moorhead had 12 and 11 points, respec-tively.

Jessie Rodriguez poured in a game-high 15 points for West-fi eld, who defeated Frewsburg-Falconer on Friday night to advance to the championship game, but it wasn’t enough for the Wolverines to win their own tournament.

Liam Tennie netted a double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds and Tanner Dahl was named the tournament’s most valuable player.

The Wolverines were able to mount something of a come-back with an 11-0 run, but

Sherman calmly went 6 for 6 from the free throw line to ice the game in the fourth quarter.

In the consolation game, Frewsburg-Falconer downed Forestville, 67-64 in an over-time thriller.

The game was sent to overtime when Forestville junior Dylan Szumigala banked in a three-pointer amidst heavy traffi c from the left wing as the buzzer sounded. The Hornets had fought back from some large defi cits all game, including 14-1 to open the game.

But Szumigala was clutch down the stretch, including hitting four straight free throws after a shooting foul was followed up

by a technical foul on Frews-burg-Falconer.

“Some of it was just confi -dence,” Forestville coach Ralph Jackson said. “It was a matter of getting some of these kids used to larger roles. Dylan knocked down the four free throws and then that three. This is his sec-ond year on varsity but he has a bigger role this year. He really stepped up.”

Not to be outdone, Frewsburg-Falconer’s Mike Wilcox de-livered a dagger of his own with a three-pointer with time winding down in the overtime period. With just one second left on the clock, Forestville was unable to get a shot off before

the fi nal buzzer.

Mitchell Carter had a game-high 19 points and 11 rebounds in the win while teammate Josh Nelson added 17 points and 10 boards.

Szumigala led the Hornets with 17 points — 15 of them coming in the fourth quarter or over-time — while Jeff Van Vlack added 15 points for Forestville.

“I feel pretty good,” Jackson added. “We played a real good team yesterday with Sherman. I knew coming into the tour-nament that there were three other good teams. I was happy with the way the kids bounced back today after we played yesterday.”

By Stefan GestwickiStar Sports Editor

Last week vs. spread: 9-5-2

Season vs. spread: 38-29-5 (.567)

Last week straight: 12-4

Season vs. spread: 42-29-1 (.591)

For the first time all season I’m actually proud of last week’s picks. There was only one game I got both the spread and the straight pick wrong: those fumbling bumbling Buffalo Bills.

Even more important than Week 13’s amazing action is that it’s fantasy football play-off time. Congratulations to all those teams that lived to play another week. I’m in but one league and earned the No. 2 seed behind the likes of Jamaal Charles and Jimmy Graham. There is a small monetary sum on the line, but mostly this league is about bragging rights amongst friends.

There were a number of statement games across the NFL last week. The Seahawks proved to be the best team in the NFC. The Broncos proved to be un-doubtedly better than the rival Chiefs. The Eagles proved that they’re a real threat to win the NFC East (even if they just get ham-mered in the first round of the playoffs). The Packers proved Aaron Rodgers is the most valuable player in the league, even if he isn’t the MVP of the league.

If the season continues with the same kind of nail-biting action as last week, we’re all in for a wild ride.

HOUSTON TEXANS (2-10) at JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS (3-9)Don’t look now but the Jaguars have won three of their last four games to climb out of the basement in the AFC South. The team in last: many people’s preseason Super Bowl pick, the Hous-ton Texans. Arian Foster has been hurt, the team doesn’t have a quarterback and the defense isn’t what it was the last few years. Ben Tate ran hard against the Patriots last week and I’d expect him to have another big day against the Jags. Maurice Jones-Drew is trying to prove he still has some tread left on his tires, but I’d be shocked if any team gave him a start-ing running back caliber contract this offseason. It’s a shame, too. MJD has been one of those guys that is universally liked throughout the league. He was probably headed towards a Hall of Fame career at one point. Anyway, I expect this to be the least watched game in Thursday Night Football history. I know I won’t watch it. PICK VS. SPREAD: Texans (-3). STRAIGHT PICK: Texans.

ATLANTA FALCONS (3-9) at GREEN BAY PACKERS (5-6-1)It’s always depressing when a game that looked so good at the beginning of the season turns into an ab-solute dud. That’s exactly what this game is. While Green Bay mathematically has a shot at the playoffs, that 0-4-1 record without Aaron Rodgers proves oth-erwise. Without Rodgers moving the ball on offense, the defense is being worn thin and games are getting out of hand. You show me a team with Matt Flynn as its quarterback and I’ll show you the worst team in the NFL. The Falcons

won a meaningless over-time game against the Bills. One bright spot from that game was the emergence of Roddy White in the passing game. The former Pro Bowl wide receiver has struggled with injuries all year and it was good to see him running and cutting with no issues. The of-fensive line better get fixed though or Matt Ryan isn’t going to last much long. That guy takes some shots. PICK VS. SPREAD: Falcons (+7). STRAIGHT PICK: Falcons.

INDIANAPOLIS COLTS (8-4) at CINCINNATI BENGALS (8-4)Wow. I didn’t even realize this matchup was coming up until I looked at the schedule for this article. This game is huge for AFC playoff seed-ing. Both teams will almost certainly win their respective divisions, but the winner of this game still has a shot to beat out New England for a first-round bye. Andrew Luck and the Colts have not played well lately. There’s no way to sugarcoat it. The entire of-fense is stuck in first gear and nothing is working. Defen-sively they’ve been susceptible to the big play. That could be a problem against an offense that features A.J. Green. The Bengals are 5-0 at home and have a more balanced attack on offense. Yes, Green gets a ton of targets, but Green-Ellis and rookie Giovani Bernard give the Bengals a nice ground game, too. That should be the difference in a game that will probably have shaky weather at best. PICK VS. SPREAD: Colts (+6). STRAIGHT PICK: Bengals.

CLEVELAND BROWNS (4-8) at NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS (9-3)This should be a very interesting matchup for one reason and one reason only. Aqib Talib vs. Josh Gordon. Talib has been one of the better corner-backs in the league this year (though he seems to be allowed to hold and interfere at will) and Gordon has been the best wide receiver in the history of the NFL over the past two weeks. No, that’s not hyperbole. Gordon became the first player in NFL with back-to-back 200-yard receiving games. Not only did he reach 200, he was way over both weeks with 237 yards against the Steel-ers and then 261 against the Jags. He’s big, fast and physical. Talib will have his hands full for sure. I suppose there will be other players in this game, but it’s the Browns. They just lost to Jacksonville. Is there any way at all they go into New England and win? No. Just no. PICK VS. SPREAD: Browns (+12). STRAIGHT PICK: Patriots.

OAKLAND RAIDERS (4-8) at NEW YORK JETS (5-7)Name a player on the Raiders defense. Go ahead, I’ll wait … Yeah, me neither. Yet I’ll take that group of no-names against the horrific Jets offense. I think the All-Section 6 high school football team could stop Geno Smith and Co. Remember early in the season when he was bad, but not barftastic? It’s like the Jets and Pack-ers are trying to battle it out for worst quarterback situation. But that’s a battle the Packers will never win because they have Aaron Rodgers in the wings while the Jets have…Mark Sanchez. The Raiders do one thing well: Run the

ball with Rashad Jennings. The Jets do one thing well: Stop the run with a solid defensive line. When in doubt pick against the West Coast team coming East. If CBS shows this game at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday I will not be happy. PICK VS. SPREAD: Jets (-3). STRAIGHT PICK: Jets.

DETROIT LIONS (7-5) at PHILADELPHIA EAGLES (7-5)Here’s another game with huge playoff implications. The Lions are seemingly winning the NFC North by default with both Chicago and Green Bay quarter-backless. Still, the Lions still have to win some games down the stretch and this will be a big test. Nick Foles has now thrown 19 touch-downs and zero intercep-tions (though he had one overturned because of a penalty last week). Shady McCoy already has 1,088 yards rushing and has really benefited from Foles’ pres-ence under center. DeSean Jackson is over 1,000 yards and 60 receptions on the season and looks rejuve-nated by Foles and the new offense. The Eagles are just 2-4 at home versus 5-1 on the road, but they should be able to take advantage of a Detroit secondary that’s been hit by the big play all season. Of course, the Ea-gles secondary isn’t exactly equipped to stop Calvin Johnson either. Reggie Bush looked like the running back he was in college on Thanksgiving, but that seems to be the exception rather than the rule with Bush. PICK VS. SPREAD: Eagles (-3). STRAIGHT PICK: Eagles.

MIAMI DOLPHINS (6-6) at PITTSBURGH STEELERS (5-7)An underlying storyline will be Mike Wallace returning the city where he began his career and made a name for himself. The main storyline, however, should be that the Dolphins currently lead the AFC wild card chase for that sixth seed. Daniel Thomas is potentially out for the season, but that’s probably a good thing. For some reason the Dolphins were splitting carries equally be-tween Thomas and Lamar Miller, but Miller is the su-perior back. The Dolphins offensive line is among the worst in football, but the Steelers aren’t exactly the Iron Curtain they once were. I would expect to see a very low-scoring game. The Steelers are in an odd situation because by win-ning against the Dolphins, they could be helping their rival Baltimore Ravens into the playoffs. Of course, in the incredibly weak AFC, the Steelers are far from out of it themselves. When in doubt, pick against the Florida team that will probably have to play in snow. PICK VS. SPREAD: Steelers (-3). STRAIGHT PICK: Steelers.

BUFFALO BILLS (4-8) at TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS (3-9)The Bucs had won three in a row before running into the buzzsaw that is the Carolina Panthers last week. Mike Glennon isn’t playing horri-bly, but Bucs fans might wish he was so they could justify drafting a new guy for next year. Glennon is steady, but he’s not the guy you want when you’re trying to reach the Super Bowl. Oddly the Bucs have played better since Doug Martin went down. I can’t explain it. The Bills

are always on the lookout for new, interesting ways to lose. Fumbling both in the closing minutes of regulation and again in overtime was their solution last week. I’m think-ing it’s time they give up two kick returns for scores or something crazy like that. Maybe a broken play where an offensive lineman ad-vances a fumble 50 yards for a score. Yeah, that sounds pretty Billsy. It’ll be inter-esting to see how the Bills come out now that they have nothing to play for….again. PICK VS. SPREAD: Buc-caneers (-3). STRAIGHT PICK: Buccaneers.

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS (9-3) at WASHINGTON REDSKINS (3-9)The Chiefs started the sea-son 9-0. Counting their bye, they haven’t won a game in a month. That’s not exactly getting hot at the right time. Of course, when two of your best defensive players miss time with injury, it’s hard to compensate. Alex Smith played well down the stretch against Denver, but apparently the Chiefs didn’t know Peyton Manning was allowed to throw to Eric Decker. That was an ugly loss. The Redskins know a thing about ugly losses. Yes, the refs blew a call last week. Okay say you win that game. Then you’re 4-8. Then what? No, the Red-skins have much deeper is-sues than a ref’s call. People seem to forget all the calls that go for a team and only remember the ones that went against it. Washington fans are among the worst of the bunch in that regard. Anyway, Alfred Morris is four yards away from 1,000 for the year and Pierre Gar-con is 20 yards away from the century mark for receiv-ing yards. Both should get it this week. PICK VS. SPREAD: Chiefs (-4). STRAIGHT PICK: Chiefs.

MINNESOTA VIKINGS (3-8-1) at BALTIMORE RAVENS (6-6)The Vikings came within a few minutes of having back-to-back ties. How awesome would that have been? The Ravens have had a lot of time to prepare for this game after beating the Steelers on Thanksgiv-ing. Hopefully they used it to watch tape of Adrian Peterson and not the Vi-kings quarterbacks because who knows who that will be. Christian Ponder, Matt Cassell and Josh Freeman are all candidates to line up under center at this point. Spoiler alert: all of them are terrible. The Ravens can get over .500 and even claim rights to the sixth seed in the AFC with a little help from Pittsburgh. I can’t imagine the Vikings making a game of this. They have nothing to play for, they’ve played back-to-back overtimes games, they’re on the road and they’re terrible. That’s a bad combination. Of course, if AP runs for another 211 yards, the odds of a Min-nesota win go up substan-tially. PICK VS. SPREAD: Ravens (-7). STRAIGHT PICK: Ravens.

TENNESSEE TITANS (5-7) at DENVER BRONCOS (10-2)Denver is now firmly in control of its own des-tiny now that it’s defeated Kansas City twice. Possibly troubling is the injury to Knowshon Moreno. The running back didn’t look right at all last week and lost out on a number of car-ries to Montee Ball, who racked up a ton of yardage. They might need that run-

ning game against a Ten-nessee team that actually stops the pass pretty well. The Titans are far from out of the AFC wild card race, too, so it’s not like they won’t be going 100 percent. Ryan Fitzpatrick layed an egg last week against Indy, but that’s to be expected. He’s Ryan Fitzpatrick. Of course, he can pull miracles out of his beard from time to time as well. This won’t be one of them. Peyton and Co. will be looking to clinch that No. 1 seed as soon as possible and then rest up for the play-offs. PICK VS. SPREAD: Broncos (-11). STRAIGHT PICK: Broncos.

ST. LOUIS RAMS (5-7) at ARIZONA CARDINALS (7-5)Both teams lost last week, though Arizona looked much better doing it. The Cardinals had a chance to really put themselves in good shape for a playoff spot, but couldn’t get the job done in Philly. The Rams had a chance to close the gap on the 49ers, but got thoroughly stomped in San Fran. Now both teams are desperate for a win. Both teams also sports vastly underrated defenses. The difference is that the Cardinals can actually move the ball on offense. The Rams….not so much. The Cardinals are also a stout 5-1 at home, so it would be very shocking if the Rams were able to go into the desert and come out with a win. Of course, I’ve said it a million times: weird things happen in division games. They’re far less predictable than out-of-division games. Remem-ber when the Rams went 1-0-1 against the 49ers last year? That’s what I’m talking about. PICK VS. SPREAD: Cardinals (-7). STRAIGHT PICK: Cardinals.

NEW YORK GIANTS (5-7) at SAN DIEGO CHARGERS (5-7)It seems strange to think the Giants are still alive in the NFC East race, but they very much are. A cross-country trip to San Diego and a date with the Char-gers isn’t the easiest task, but it’s hard to pick against the red-hot Giants. The Char-gers looked to have kept their playoff hopes alive with a win against Kansas City, but then played a very flat game against the Ben-gals. They’re still lumped in with Pittsburgh, Baltimore, the Jets, the Titans and oth-ers in the race for the last playoff spot but a loss would end that hope. Realistically a loss by either team would probably end its season. Phillip Rivers is on pace to throw for well over 4,000 yards again, but his season has been erratic at best. Hence the Chargers’ losing record despite his impres-sive stats. The Giants have a losing record on the road, the Chargers have a losing record at home. When in doubt, take the home team. PICK VS. SPREAD: Chargers (-3). STRAIGHT PICK: Chargers.

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS (11-1) at SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS (8-4)This game would have a lot more on the line if the Sea-hawks would have just lost some games this season. Basically the only thing on the line is the 49ers playoff hopes. They’re currently the sixth seed, but there are a couple teams right on their tail. You know the Seahawks would like noth-ing more than to send their rivals out of the playoff chase. Of course, the 49ers

and their fans have been looking forward to exacting a little revenge after getting embarrassed up in Seattle earlier in the year. Rus-sell Wilson is playing at an elite level and Marshawn Lynch does some of his best work against the stingy 49ers defense. On the other side, the 49ers are playing better. Colin Kaepernick doesn’t totally stink lately and Boldin and Crabtree would make a nice receiv-ing corp if they’re healthy. Vernon Davis is a nice pass-catching tight end. These two teams know each other well. It’ll be a battle of the titans and a physical football game. PICK VS. SPREAD: Sea-hawks (+3). STRAIGHT PICK: Seahawks.

CAROLINA PANTHERS (9-3) at NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (9-3)Out of the frying pan and into the fire for the Saints. Last week the Legion of Boom and the Seahawks defense and now the sack-happy Panthers. At least this one is at home. And that’s not to be taken lightly. The Saints are 6-0 on their own turf and just 3-3 on the road. The Panthers have won eight straight games and can take over first place in the NFC South with a win. Actually a win would vault them into the driver’s seat for a first-round bye. To say this game is important would be a massive under-statement. You know Drew Brees is chomping at the bit to get back on the field after being embarrassed in Se-attle. I can’t remember the last time Brees only threw for 140 yards in a game. I’m actually still in shock over it. The Panthers stop the run very well, but the secondary is somewhat soft. If the Saints can slow down the Panthers pass rush they should be able to win this game. Thank goodness this game is in prime time. I’m not going to miss this one. Cam was fantastic in his last prime time performance. I expect the same here. PICK VS. SPREAD: Panthers (+4). STRAIGHT PICK: Panthers.

DALLAS COWBOYS (7-5) at CHICAGO BEARS (6-6)Here’s a battle of two teams that could easily have ran away with their respective divisions except they just stopped winning games. I’m not sure why I keep reading articles by respect-ed sports writers defend-ing Tony Romo. He’s not an elite quarterback no matter how much we want him to be. He has a total animal like Dez Bryant at his disposal and yet can’t lead his team to more than just mediocrity. The Bears meanwhile have a truly scary offense and yet sit at .500. Once Matt Forte gets his 29 yards to reach 1,000 for the year the Bears will have a 1K yard rusher and two 1K yard receivers in Alshon Jeffery and Bran-don Marshall. Pick your poisin: do you take away the running game and give up pass yards in chunks or do you try to take away the pass and let Forte chip away at you? It seems like just yesterday the Bears had a laughable offense and a stout defense. Now it’s completely reversed. If either of these teams gets into the playoffs they’re going to get stomped, so none of this really mat-ters. PICK VS. SPREAD: Bears (+2). STRAIGHT PICK: Cowboys.

local sportsself-proclaimed Expert picks: Week 14

CHAUTAUQUA STARFRIDAY, DECEMBER 6, 2013 3

I was initially shocked Johnson actually caught this ball late in the fourth quarter against the Falcons. It just seemed like the kind of ball he’d drop. Naturally, one step, two steps and cor-nerback Robert McClain pokes the ball out at the Atlanta 30-yard line with 20 second left. In case you haven’t noticed, kicker Dan Carpenter hasn’t missed a field goal since Week 1 so you’d like to think the Bills were more than in range for him to win the game.

Alright, Bills fans expect disappointment from Ste-vie, but then overtime and big, slow, lumbering tight end Scott Chandler hap-pened.

Quarterback E.J. Manuel threw a dart to Chandler

across the middle of the field (on a route similar to what Stevie ran on his fumble). The big gain had Bills fans euphoric, but again that feeling lasted all of one second, if that. Atlanta safety William Moore knocked the ball out of Chandler’s hands and the ball just refused to roll out of bounds as it bounced down the field. Atlanta picked it up, ran a few plays to get into range and won it on a 36-yard field goal from Matt Bryant.

The unforgivable part of both fumbles was that they were both standard plays. It wasn’t like a defender came out of nowhere to knock the ball away. Both Johnson and Chandler knew they were surrounded

by Falcons. I’ve never played in the NFL, but I’m pretty sure coaches tell you to just go down at that point. It was a fluke helmet to ball collision. It wasn’t a runner getting held up while two other defenders rip at the ball. It was just classic Bills. Western New Yorkers must be gluttons for punishment. How else can you explain why we keep coming back for more of the Sabres and the Bills?

Though I can honestly say that I was impressed with E.J. Manuel in this game. Yes, the Falcons possess one of the weakest defenses in the league, but I wasn’t re-ally watching the defense, I was just watching Manuel. He was poised in the pock-et, but showed the ability

to escape pressure on a few occasions. He showed some nice touch on a few passes, but actually stepped into a couple of throws down the seam and put some mustard on it. That’s been my biggest criticism of Manuel thus far, but he helped ease some of my doubts by showing off some arm strength. He probably could have had a couple passes intercepted when he made a bad decision or two, but that’s something coaches can work with.

It was the first game where Manuel looked like a potential franchise quarter-back. Yes he looked pretty good against the Jets last week, but Chad Henne looks ‘pretty good’ some-times and he’s certainly not

a franchise quarterback. No one expects (or at least they shouldn’t) Manuel to be elite this season or even next because he’s still a project, but I’m finally giv-ing the thumbs up for Bills fans to be excited about this guy.

The bottom line here is that for years the Bills haven’t just been losing, they’ve been ripping our hearts right out of our rib-cages with their bare hands and then throwing on the floor and stomping on it ‘til we die (Five bonus points for anyone who can name that reference). At least teams like Jacksonville and Oakland have the decency to get stomped from week to week so as to not give their fans a sense of false

hope.

I’ve also been hearing rumors now that the Bills might release Stevie at the end of the season. Good. What took you so long? Sure, he has put up de-cent stats for the last few seasons, but someone has to catch the ball right? Who else on this team was going to catch passes? But now the Bills have options with Robert Woods and Marquise Goodwin. Just sign Hakeem Nicks and let Stevie go. Hasn’t he cost the Bills enough games?

Anglers have enjoyed good steelhead action so far this fall, and the late fall run of steelhead is arriving right on time for the holiday week. Anglers have report-ed fresh runs of steelhead in the streams over past few days. Many streams are fishing well for a mix of fresh silvery steel and more colorful earlier run fish. The small to medium sized streams are in good shape today (Tuesday) with moderate to slightly lower flows. Chautauqua, Can-adaway, Silver, Walnut, South Branch Cattaraugus,

Eighteenmile, Buffalo and Cayuga Creeks are all good prospects. Cattarau-gus Creek currently has near ideal conditions and a flow of about 415 cubic feet per second. Anglers should expect slush in the mornings, especially later this week when nighttime temps dip into the teens.

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. 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.

Upper Niagara RiverMusky anglers still have a few more days left before the season closes after November 30th. Cur-rently, upper river waters are a chalky green color. But winds are building and expected to last a couple days. The Buffalo Harbor looks like the best bet for the tail end of the season. Musky are gener-ally caught in the outer Buffalo Harbor by trolling large stickbaits. Casting spoons or drifting egg sacs from Broderick Park/Squaw Island usually pro-

duces some rainbow trout catches at this time of year.

Chautauqua LakeThe open-lake fishing season is all but over, and most anglers have pulled their boats for the season. However, anglers still have until Saturday to chase muskellunge. Boaters can target musky near weed edges in 8-16 feet of water. Productive methods in-clude casting large bucktail spinners or stickbaits or trolling on the outside of the weed edge with large jointed stickbaits.

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, 45 30-inch rainbow trout and 90 14-inch rainbow trout.

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; mttodd@gw.dec.state.ny.us) or Jim Markham (716-366-0228; jlmarkha@gw.dec.state.ny.us). Good Luck Fishing!

A particular geographic area might claim world-class fishing for one or perhaps two species. Three is rare. Yet relatively small Chautauqua County boasts of an incredible four world-class populations of fish. And word is spreading. It's not unusual to see license plates from Tennessee or Virginia or Minnesota or Maine parked alongside water-access points.

The term ‘world class’ tends to be overused, but the true definition of the term in a fishing sense requires the satisfaction of two criteria. The first – that a certain body of water holds some of the largest specimens of a particular species in the world. The second – that such large specimens occur in great enough numbers that anglers may have a reasonable expectation of catching one.

Chautauqua County's claim to world-class fishing fame currently rests with four species – walleye (lo-cally termed yellow pike), steelhead (a species of rainbow trout), smallmouth bass and musky.

Lake Erie's walleye fishery is world class with the best fishing out of the ports of Dunkirk and Barcelona. Walleyes spawn shallow in the spring, then school in great numbers during summer and are noted for their exceptional table quality. Commercial fish-

ing is prohibited on the U.S. side of the lake – one reason the Chautauqua County waters are excep-tional – but Canadian-caught walleye is some-times imported for sale.

Steelhead are native to the West Coast of the U.S. and Canada but were trans-planted into Lake Erie a century ago. They are an anadramous species of rainbow trout – meaning they summer in an ocean or large lake, then return to streams in the spring and fall. Lake Erie includes several different strains of steelhead, including the newly introduced Ska-mania strain, which can tolerate warmer water tem-peratures and thus enter streams earlier in the fall and later in the spring.

Lake Erie's smallmouth bass fishery is in a class by itself and the stretch of water from Ripley to the mouth of Cattaraugus Creek is recognized as the world's number one small-mouth bass fishery. Seri-ous bass anglers catch and

release their smallmouths – fish larger than a few pounds are of marginal eating quality.

Musky, nicknamed the "water wolf," are similar in shape and appearance to northern pike, but are a vastly different species in terms of maximum size and habits. The Chautau-qua-strain musky was the first strain in the world to be artificially propagated for stocking in other waters and Chautauqua Lake has always been a focal point of serious musky hunters – especially the deep waters of the northern basin. Fish in the mid-30-pound range are caught in Chautauqua and some anglers believe a 50-plus-pounder could inhabit the waters.

Readers who do not fish can still appreciate these world-class fisheries: Three of the four species are directly observable during their yearly spawns. Catch-ing and observation tips will be presented over the next several columns.

COMMENTARY CONTINUED FROM PG 1

By Howard FendrichAP Sports Writer

Lindsey Vonn was cleared to get back on a World Cup course for downhill train-ing, the latest step as she works to return from a right knee injury and get ready for the Sochi Olympics.

Now Vonn - and the rest of the skiing world - will wait to find out whether she'll actually be racing by the end of this week.

The four-time overall World Cup champion and reigning Olympic downhill gold medalist is expected

to start in Wednesday's first official training session at Lake Louise, the U.S. Ski Team said Tuesday.

The team added that not until Thursday would a decision be made on whether Vonn will return to competition for the first time since tearing right knee ligaments in a high-speed crash at the world championships last Febru-ary. The scheduled races at Lake Louise - a site Vonn has dominated in the past, including three-victory sweeps in 2011 and 2012 - are downhills on Friday and Saturday, with a super-

G on Sunday.

Vonn will start 10th in Wednesday's training run.

"She's trying to come back as quick as possible, and it just happens to be that Lake Louise is on the (schedule) right now," U.S. women's coach Alex Hoedlmoser said. "It's a very good place for her to come back and try be-cause she's very familiar with the course and had success here."

"This is kind of her play-ground here," Skaardal said, "and she could prob-ably not ask for a better place to do a comeback."

Fredonia State sophomore forward Sabrina Macaulay (Newark) has been chosen Women's Basketball Player of the Week by the State University of New York Athletic Conference.

Macaulay recorded her fi rst collegiate double-

double with 12 points and 11 rebounds in the Blue Devils' 72-52 win Nov. 26 at D'Youville. Both totals represent college career-bests (she had 12 points twice and 10 rebounds once as a freshman).

She also had three assists, three steals, and blocked one shot vs. D'Youville, and is averaging 8.2 points and 6.6 rebounds per game.

The Fredonia State men's basketball team's late comeback attempt fell short as they dropped a 100-90 decision in their home opener versus Alfred University on Tuesday.

Down by as many as 22 with just under eight minutes to play, the Devils pulled within eight points, 98-90, in the fi nal minute before bow-ing out to the Saxons.

The Devils were led by Tyrone Clark (Elmira/Elmira Free Academy) with 35 points, six rebounds and four steals. Clark shot 14 of 17 from the fi eld including a fl urry of high-percentage dunks and three of fi ve from beyond the arc. Alexander Grace (Bemus Point/Maple Grove) added 14 points and four assists, while Robert Lyles (Peek-skill) had 12 points and seven helpers. John Kovach (Shoreham/Shoreham-Wading River) added 10 points and fi ve rebounds.

Matt Deboy (Salamanca/Salamanca) controlled the boards with a game-high 14 rebounds.

Alfred had four players with double digit scoring, paced by Mike Snyder with 18.

The high score was ac-cumulated largely because Alfred opted for line

changes over substitutions and three pointers over layups. A total of 12 players played at least ten minutes, and the Saxons fi red up 43 three-point attempts. They connected 14 times (32 percent).

The Devils were seven of 19 from beyond the arc.

The game was slowed by 52 combined fouls. The Devils were 23 of 38 from the line, while Alfred shot 18 of 32 from the charity stripe. Alfred outrebound-ed the Devils, 52-44.

To start the game, the Dev-ils scored fi rst and led 15-13 at the 12:33 mark follow-ing a three pointer by Ray Parris (Brooklyn/Benjamin Banaker). From there, the Saxons went on a 20-4 run to build a 14-point lead. They would fi nish the half with a 47-36 lead.

The Devils battled to within nine points midway through the second half following a three pointer by Clark to make it a 67-58 game with 12:10 to go. The Saxons would build up their largest lead of 22 points, 83-61, before the Devils made their late run.

The Devils open up the conference portion of their schedule this weekend with a women's/men's double-header in Steele Hall. Fri-day brings New Paltz to the Fieldhouse, and Saturday's opponent is Oneonta.

Jcc to Host Baseball camp

By Ronald BlumAP Sports Writer

Free agent outfi elder Jaco-by Ellsbury, fresh off win-ning the World Series with Boston, reached agreement with the rival New York Yankees on a seven-year contract worth about $153 million, a person familiar with the negotiations said

Tuesday night.

Ellsbury is the second major free-agent addition in the Yankees' offseason rebuild-ing after missing the playoffs for just the second time in 19 years. The center fi elder was to take a physical in New York on Wednesday that he must pass before the deal can be fi nalized, the person said, speaking on condition of anonymity because no

statements were authorized.

The Yankees also had been negotiating with outfi elder Shin-Soo Choo, who like Ellsbury is represented by agent Scott Boras.

There is a long history of stars moving from Beantown to the Big Apple during their careers. Babe Ruth was the most famous, and Roger Clemens, Wade Boggs and

Johnny Damon followed.

Ellsbury, who turned 30 in September, led the ma-jors with 52 stolen bases despite being hobbled late in the season by a broken right foot. The lefty-hitting leadoff man batted .298 with nine homers and 53 RBIs, and the short right-fi eld porch at Yankee Stadium should boost his power numbers.

Yankees, Ellsbury reach $153M, 7-Year Deal

''Nothing comes above winning,'' Brandon said. ''When I took over the reins on Jan. 1, I said that was the number one focus, and that will be the number one focus. That's one of the reasons that this will be re-viewed in a grand manner.''

Brandon stopped short of saying whether the Bills would consider canceling the series or can opt out of the four remaining years of the deal renewed in Janu-ary with Toronto-based communications giant Rogers Communications.

''I'm going to look at everything. I'll just leave it at that,'' Brandon said, before being asked a second time whether the Bills can opt out. ''My focus in this organization is simple, to put ourselves in the posi-tion to win championships and sustain success. Period. Nothing comes above that.''

Brandon's comments came after Buffalo's 34-31 over-time loss Sunday to Atlanta

in Toronto. By playing in-doors at the domed Rogers Centre, the warm-weather Falcons avoid having to play in the wintry condi-tions - and traditionally more raucous environment - at Ralph Wilson Stadium in Orchard Park, N.Y.

The loss put a big dent in the Bills' chances of realistically staying in the AFC playoff race. At 4-8, Buffalo closes its season playing three of its fi nal four on the road, begin-ning with a trip to Tampa Bay (3-9) on Sunday.

Buffalo is in jeopardy of ex-tending the NFL's longest active postseason drought to 14 seasons. And the Bills will go a ninth straight year without a winning record.

The Bills are 0-4 in games they've played in Toronto during December. Their lone win came on Oct. 30, 2011, when they defeated Washington 23-0.

The Bills made the decision to play games in Toronto,

about a 2-hour drive from Buffalo, in a bid to expand their base and generate additional revenue from Canada's largest city and fi nancial capital. A lack of home-team support and poor attendance remain issues in Toronto since the series started in 2008.

The announced crowd of 38,969 was by far the smallest of the series, and well short of the stadium's NFL capacity of 46,470, not including suites. Rog-ers did announce the fi rst four regular season games at Toronto had been sell-outs, before later acknowl-edging the totals included thousands of free tickets it had distributed.

Several Atlanta players were pleasantly surprised to see a notable number of fans wearing Falcons jerseys in the stands on Sunday.

''The crazy part is we had a lot of support here,'' said Falcons safety William Moore, noting he saw

someone wearing his No. 25 jersey. ''It didn't feel like we were in Canada.''

The series has delivered in generating revenue and lur-ing more southern Ontario fans back to Buffalo. The Bills estimate Canadians now make up about 15 percent of their season-ticket base. That rivals the number of season-ticket holders the Bills usually get from nearby Rochester.

As part of the initial fi ve-year deal, Rogers agreed to pay $78 million for the right to essentially lease eight Bills home games - fi ve regular season and three preseason. The fi nal preseason game was even-tually dropped because of scheduling diffi culties.

In exchange, the Bills earned more than double of what they usually gener-ated from hosting games in Buffalo. The value of the most recent deal has not been revealed.

NEW CSHOF INDUCTEES CONTINUED FROM PG 1

By Ricardo ZunigaAssociated Press

The game between the San Antonio Spurs and Minnesota Timberwolves was postponed Wednesday night because of smoky conditions inside the Mexico City arena.

The matchup will be made up in Minnesota at a later date.

The arena was evacuated about 45 minutes before the scheduled 9:30 p.m. EST tipoff when a genera-tor malfunction outside the arena sent smoke pouring into the building, accord-

ing to NBA spokeswoman Sharon Lima.

Mexico City Police said in a statement there was a fi re in the generator room on the fourth fl oor of the modern glass-clad arena that opened in 2012.

"What hap-pened was provoked by a short circuit in the room of generators," the statement said in Spanish.

About 15 minutes after

the scheduled start, the Spurs bus pulled away from the building. The Timberwolves bus followed soon after.

While the teams were warming up for their regular-season match-up, lights went out in parts of the arena and smoke began coming out of

vents in the upper deck. The court quickly became cloudy.

"I thought they were prac-ticing fi reworks, Spurs TV analyst Sean Elliot said. "A lot of teams do that before introductions. But then the smoke just kept creeping and it wasn't white smoke. It was like a brown dark smoke and it started taking over the whole court. It was surprising."

Fans had not yet been al-lowed into the arena for the NBA's fi rst regular-season game in the country since Houston and Dallas played in Mexico City on Dec. 6, 1997, when the evacuation was ordered. The teams went to their buses, still wearing their practice gear.
