I read about an interesting idea lately, it went a little like this: a college professor, known for his teaching abilities and stu-dents performing well in his class, began a semester with a group of students who were very much pro-Socialism and big-government. They felt that it was the duty of the rich to support the poor- after all, what do the wealthy need to be wealthy for?
For their fi rst test, he wanted to illustrate something to them. Their test grades were all aver-aged, and each student received the same grade in the class. It seemed fair to the students who’d spent the night before in bars and clubs- they didn’t study, and ended up with a B. But to those students who gave it their all, for-saking movies and hanging out to study, a B was not acceptable. They complained, but their com-plaints fell on deaf ears- the small minority of A’s didn’t match up to the C’s and D’s.
For the second test, they’d de-cided to take it easy too. They fi gured those that were received so much for so little would ap-preciate the work, and try a little harder.
They were wrong.
The course average on the second test was a D. The fi nal course average- the entire class failed.
What did they learn?
Hopefully, something about the foolish mentality of exploit-ing the rich to give to the lazy. There was a time when the poor were willing to try for what they needed, but it seems that time is gone.
I used to work for a rent-to-own company. After a few months, I had to get out of the business that, frankly, robbed those who didn’t know how to handle their fi nances. There was a time that I was out on collections- real ‘repo’ type stuff. The family had not paid their bill in two weeks, and it was time to pick up our mer-chandise. They only had $40, enough to bring them current on one of two items: their tod-dler’s bed or their 50” fl at screen HDTV.
It saddens my heart to say that I had to convince them to keep the bed. I had to help them see that

From social media to a variety of cultural infl uences, youth in our area and across the country face increased pressures and challenges. As the youth culture continues to change, mentor-ing and connecting with young people in meaningful ways also has brought new challenges.
Compeer Chautauqua has taken that challenge head on with a year long Training Series called 2013, “Let’s Talk About the Kids,” intended to educate the community on a variety of topics related to understanding and increasing positive rapport with young people.
Starting in February, Compeer For Youth’s Mentor Recruiter Chris Gibson will host talks held the second Tuesday of each month at Fredonia’s Presbyterian Church, with the two-fold pur-pose of assisting Compeer Youth mentors, and being an educa-tional forum for the community.
“We feel that mentoring is already taking place in a lot of informal ways with adults talking to youth and how they engage youth in different things. My idea is to have mentoring brought into all situations,” says Gibson. She adds, “whether someone is going to end up being a mentor for us or not, the youth are going
to benefi t if people know what questions to ask or how to engage young people in better conversa-tion.”
Compeer Director Jann Ball sees the training as “giving back to the community.” That includes sharing what the organization’s
leadership has learned in making better connections with youth. “People care, but if you don’t know the signs; if you aren’t attuned to what is happening, many things are going to go un-noticed.” The fi rst step, she says is being aware and listening to a
child.
Investment in the Future
Along with lending an ear and being what Compeer offi cials characterize as “non-threaten-ing,” youth are also best served

A study from an upstate SUNY school released earlier this year showed the snowmobile industry generates more than $800 mil-lion annually to New York State, a fact that has some local snow-mobile clubs and small business owners concerned about the re-cent stint of mild winter weather conditions.
The SUNY Potsdam study provided statistics that illustrated how the snowmobile industry generates approximately $860 million per year for the Empire State.
Local snowmobile enthusiasts say there is no doubt that the Chautauqua region features some of New York State’s best destina-tions for sledding.
“What we have are incred-ible trails that are consistently groomed and maintained,” says Joe Sorrento, president of the Cherry Creek Sno-Goers, one of the more active local snowmo-bile clubs. “When the weather is right, there is nothing like riding a sled in and around Chautauqua County.”
The economic assessment of the thousands of snowmobile riders who visit the region each winter
is that the average New York snowmobiler spends more than $3,000 a year on the activity.
In addition to paying for the snowmobile itself, there is also money spent on equipment, mandatory documents (including registration, insurance and club
membership fees) and recreation activities that take place before and after riding, mainly meals at local restaurants and eateries.
“When we check in with the owners of those places, they will tell you how much they rely on us stopping there during the win-
ter,” says Sorrento. “For some, it really makes or breaks their year. If we have a lot of snow and the trails are busy, they stay busy and that is more money in their pockets.”

by an on-going relationship with an adult, who will make the time for them. “For example, in our pro-gram, you have that hour a week where this person gives you their undivided attention,” says Gibson. “It may take months to develop that relationship, but that faithfulness and consistency pays off.”
Sometimes, kids may not respond to an adult who expresses interest in a relationship, which Gibson admits can be diffi cult.
“People need to realize that you’re investing in a future, but you don’t necessarily get the dividends from that investment for many years, ” adds Ball. “We’ve got a culture that wants immedi-ate gratifi cation. Mentoring is huge, but a worthwhile investment.”
The Changing Face of Volunteerism
Gibson says that volunteer-ism has changed in the last ten to twenty years, where people today are more willing to make short-term commitments. “If people can come in with a specifi c skill set and teach some-thing to our kids, we are open to that.”
Ball admits it is diffi cult to convince some people, especially those with their own diffi culties, to vol-unteer. “People who are (informally) engaged with youth will get that extra push.” Individuals can benefi t from being involved in the program without a big time commitment. It’s more of an more emotional investment,” says the Com-peer director.
In celebration of National Mentoring Month, Com-peer will also host a pro-gram entitled, “The Power of Friendship,” on Thurs-
day, Jan. 24 from 6-8 p.m. at the Dunkirk Conference Center on 3602 Lakeshore Drive East. The speaker is Kenneth Houseknecht, Mentor and Executive Di-rector of the Erie County Mental Health Association. Attendees will also have a chance to learn about Compeer’s new programs for 2013.
The 2013 “Let’s Talk About the Kids” begins its annual series on Tuesday, February 12 with a discus-sion entitled “Building Relationship with Youth: Developing rapport, build-ing trust, goal setting and relationship closure.”
The event talks place at the Fredonia Presbyterian Church, 219 Central Ave. Fredonia. Attendees are asked to R.S.V.P three days prior to the event by calling 716-487-2956.

This week we are featuring “Jake” and “Sheila”. Jake is a three-year-old basset/husky mix. He has wonder-ful blue eyes and the “low rider” body of a basset. He loves to go for walks and be with people. He gets along with other dogs and he has all his vaccines, is neutered and micro-chipped. Jake would be a great new friend. Sheila is an eleven-year-old long-haired Siamese. She has a beautiful coat and is declawed on all 4 paws. She needs a quiet home and would make a great senior for senior adoption. She is spayed, feline leukemia and feline aids negative, has her vaccines and is micro-chipped. If you think you either of these pets sound like the one for you, please stop in at the Strunk Road Adoption Center. They are ready to move into a forever home of their own.
Sorrento points out that many of the snowmobile enthusiasts who come to Chautauqua County are out-of-towners who visit on weekends.
“A lot of people come up from Pennsylvania and they eat and drink and also stay in local hotels and motels and bed-and-breakfasts so they are spending a couple of days a week here,” says Sorrento. “Weather permitting, we are able some years to stay up and running until mid-March, which means more opportunities for them to make sales and increase their profi ts.”
With annual snowfall often exceeding 200 inches and over 450 miles of groomed trails, the fi ve local clubs work together to groom and maintain the trails that travel along former trolley lines, old railroad beds, farm fi elds, wooded areas and seasonal roads.
In addition to the Cherry Creek Sno-Goers, the other local clubs include the Chautauqua Lake Snowmobile Club, Ellery Sno-Cruisers, Lake Effect Trailbreakers and Sunset Drifters. Between all fi ve clubs there are close to 3,400 “family member-
ships” that represent close to 6,000 people and over 5,300 snowmobiles.
While fi nding places to eat, drink and sleep are essential for all snowmobil-ers, equally important is fi nding places to purchase new and used sleds as well as purchase gasoline and get maintenance and repair work done on each vehicle. Various outlets have a wide variety of equipment, parts and supplies available for rent or purchase for long-time sledders as well as fi rst-time snowmobilers.
“Snowmobiling is a lot of fun,” says Joe Dziduch, a member of the Cherry Creek Sno-Goers. “You have so many different trails to navigate and explore and you meet some really incredible people, many of whom end up becoming close friends.”
For more information about the snowmobile industry and how it has a positive impact on the local economy, including how to obtain a countywide snowmobile trail map, visit www.sledchautauqua.com to learn more about why Chautauqua County is often called “New York’s Snowbelt Region.”

This is where the money of the wealthy is going. The poor don’t need money- they need education. They need love and time and care. And until that love and care comes from people, not the govern-ment, they will not learn to appreciate it.
It’s a dark, dark road that this great nation is on. There is still time to turn it around- but it will require some to take an uncom-fortable stand. Handouts, throughout history, have never worked. Until the majority of society once again values the impor-tance of working for a reward, the future of this country is at stake.

By Carol Keating, VolunteerWestfi eld Stray Cat Rescue
Usually when you hear or read about this annual savings extravaganza, you think of towels and wash clothes, sheets, pillowcases or blankets and bedspreads. This year, however, The Westfi eld Stray Cat Rescue hopes that you will picture Persians and Maine coons, Siamese and Tabbies, Cali-coes and Manx instead!
For the rest of this month, the WSCR is holding its own unique version of the January White Sale…adopt a kitten or cat with any white markings (from a few hairs to totally white; sorry, whiskers don’t count) for half of the regular $40 adoption fee.
The fee pays for feline leukemia and FIV (feline AIDS) tests, vaccinations, rabies and neuter and spay. Plus, you will walk out with a lovable and loyal pet. Talk about a terrifi c and “purrfect” value for your hard-earned money!
There are about 15 felines at the WSCR with some white on them: male/female, mixed and pure breeds, big and small. All are adorable animals and all are anxious to be adopted.
The Westfi eld Stray Cat Rescue has a short but impressive history. Because different areas of Chautau-qua County have a stray cat problem, Judy Loomis, Celeste Kern and Hilda Spann decided to be part of the solution by founding the organization in 2007.
For the fi rst fi ve years, they and other volunteers were only able to provide foster care. Then in 2011, the board of directors opened the “Thrifty-Kitty”
second-hand store. One year later, through dona-tions, grants and revenue from the store, they were in a position to purchase the building and locate the “rescue” on the sec-ond fl oor. A viewing and meeting room called “Kit-tyland,” is available where you can watch and/or play with felines available for adoption.
Although Judy, Celeste and many volunteers have de-voted every spare minute to the goals of fi nding place-ment for cast-off kittens and cats (about 600 homes thus far), the WSCR has room for only 25 animals at a time. In order for the facility to function effi -ciently, felines need to be adopted out quickly or at least keep pace with all the strays taken in.
Kittens and cats can be seen at the WSCR, 59 East Main St., Westfi eld on Tuesday through Fridays form 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. and
Saturdays from 10 a.m. -2 p.m. Appointments are also
available by calling 716-326-2404.

A major component of the Hanover Bicentennial celebration has been the installation of fi ve more New York State historical markers in Chautauqua County. This important project, which began in 2008, was planned and ex-ecuted by Vince Martonis, Town of Hanover Histo-rian. Martonis was able to secure private donations to
cover about half of the cost of the fi ve-year project. All of the markers are located in the Town of Hanover.
The fi rst marker honored George F. Abbott, noted Broadway director/produc-er, and is located on Route 39 in the village of For-estville in front of Cave’s convenient store.
The second marker noted an American Revolu-tion event which involved Hanover. This marker is lo-cated at the Hanover Boat Launch in Sunset Bay.
The third marker was installed to highlight the gifted Mormon leader James J. Strang. The loca-tion is at the intersection of King and Dennison roads.
Marker number four was placed to honor that il-lustrious historian and archaeologist Everett R. Burmaster of Irving. It is located at the intersec-tion of Buffalo Road and Routes 5 and 20 in Irving.
The fi nal marker was in-stalled this past October to commemorate The Lincoln
maple. It is located in Ball-town near the intersection of Allegany and Mackinaw roads.
Each marker event was accompanied by an issue of The Hanover Historical, a newsletter published by the historian. To receive any of these fi ve important issues, contact the historian at 985-4141 or [email protected] to have them emailed or mailed.

The Sinclairville Senior Citizens met recently at the Sinclairville Firehall Dining Room for their first meet-ing for the new year 2013. The first order of business was the passing of the gavel from the outgoing Presi-dent Elaine Palmer-Titus to the new president Margie McIntyre. Mrs. Titus has served the senior group in the leadership role as president and vice president for more than a decade, and served as the tour guide on special bus tours. Appre-ciation is extended to Mrs.
Titus for her many years of dedicated leadership for the group.
The Sinclairville Senior Citizens meet once a month on the second Tuesday for a luncheon and program, and with many happy moments. At the recent meeting, a tureen dinner was served whereby members brought a dish of food to pass, and ample amounts of a variety of food were available to all. The blessing was given prior to the meal, and those standing in need were remembered. The pledge of the allegiance to the flag was led by President McIn-tyre.
Other officers installed were vice president Linda Parmenter, secretary Bill Wittenbrook, and treasurer Claudia Wittenbrook. Betty Wielgasz will continue to serve as the “sunshine chairman.”
Drawings were conducted, and recipients of prizes in-cluded Mrs. McIntyre, Mrs. Titus, Mrs. Parmenter, Jim Odell, Fran Odell, Irene Moll, Dimon Smith, Louisa Smith, Martha Harmon, Pearl Sitterly and Mrs. Wielgasz.
President McIntyre said that a committee is setting plans for the programs for the year, and a printed program
will be provided for all. Each meeting will include a tureen meal, and members are asked to bring a dish of food to pass and their own table settings. Dimon Smith will provide table coverings and have the coffee ready for each meeting. The an-nual summer picnic will be held in July. Plans are being made for bus tours later in the year.
At the next meeting at the Sinclairville Firehall dining room on Tuesday Febru-ary 12th, Jim and Fran Odell will provide the table decorations. All luncheons begin promptly at noon. New members are always welcome.

Keeping the FaithDear Pastor, does God have a plan for my life? If so, how can I find it? (con’t)
Last week we looked at the fact that God has a unique plan for each one of our lives. We also saw that God promises that this plan is a good and beneficial plan! When we understand this and accept His plan for our life, the outlook for our future will be great. Today I want to start looking at how we can know what God’s perfect will is for our lives.
First of all, we must understand that while God has a plan for
every person, we must gain access to that plan and His guidance by becoming a Christian and ac-knowledging Him as our Savior and Lord. Like getting the key to a locked room, becoming a Chris-tian enables us to gain admittance to all that the room holds.
Once we gain access, we will come to know that God provides what I call a “general” plan or path for all His children to walk as well as a “unique” path that is specific to each individual. For instance, the scriptures give us characteristics of a godly spouse, but they don’t tell us who, specifi-
cally, who we should marry. This week we are going to look at the general plan because we must learn to walk on this path before we can ever walk out our unique path.
The great news is that the general path or plan for our life is plainly written out in the Bible. Like an instruction manual, any Christian can read the Bible and find out what God’s plan is for all of us. In the New Testament (God’s Word to Christians) we will find direc-tions for how we should behave towards others, how to make deci-sions to ensure a godly life, and
what God promises us in the areas of health, prosperity, and spiri-tual maturity. As with any other instruction manual, however, we must read and study God’s Word in order to know what God desires for our life.
The more we try to understand what is written in the Bible and do the best we can to put this general plan into action for our lives, the more we become open to having God speak to us about the specific will for our individual lives.
Next week…the unique plan for our life.
The Christian Authority
Part 2
Many people believe that Adam and Eve were purposely set up to disobey God and that God’s intentions were for them to fail. That is not true. The scriptures show us what God originally intended. Genesis 1:26, 28 say, “And God said let us make man in our image, after our likeness, and LET THEM HAVE DO-MINION over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over ALL THE EARTH, AND OVER EVERY CREEPING THING THAT CREEPETH UPON THE EARTH. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, be fruitful, and multiply, and replen-ish the earth and SUBDUE IT
and HAVE DOMINION over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.” God’s original intentions for creat-ing mankind were for fellowship and for mankind to have authority on Earth over everything. Notice that this authority was God given. If God gave it, He expected man to use it.
Notice the emphasized words, “let them have dominion.” This simply means that God was giving man the authority to rule Earth. We also see all the things man had dominion over; all things. Notice the command God gave man-kind; subdue the Earth. The word “subdue” means to take control of. Why would God tell them to take control? God knew Satan was
coming. The Bible says something interesting in Genesis 2:15, “And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden (of Eden) to dress it and to KEEP it.” This is written before Satan came into the garden to tempt Adam and Eve. The word “keep” in the original Hebrew means “to guard.” Why would God tell Adam to guard Eden? God knew Satan would try to steal it and God didn’t want that to happen. What did God do to prevent this from happening? God gave them authority.
What did Adam and Eve have authority over? Every living and creeping thing on Earth. What form did Satan take when he came into the garden? A serpent. Are serpents living things and do they move? Yes. Did Adam and
Eve have authority over Satan? Yes. So did they have to obey Satan? No. They should have used their authority and disobeyed Satan and obeyed God. From this we see that even though God had a good plan, man’s decisions influenced the outcome. The same is true today. A person will only have authority over Satan if they are surrendered to God. Chris-tians do have authority over the devil but they must decide to use it.
James 4:7 says, “Submit yourself to God…resist the devil and he will flee from you.” Notice the Bible says that it is our job to resist the devil. God has already done everything He is going to do with the devil. And notice who the devil runs from: YOU!

When it’s warm and sunny, it’s a fun job. When it’s cold and snowy, it’s a fun job. Even in the rain it’s enjoy-able.
That’s how Bruce Koterass feels about what he does ev-ery Saturday regardless of the weather at the Westfield refuse and recycle center. Bruce is site foreman at the Bourne Street recycling center located between Westfield and Barcelona.
“This is a great job,” he said brightly as he directed yet another garbage laden vehicle toward the scoop of the waiting front-loader. When the scoop is full—filled with about the volume a mid-sized pickup can haul—Bruce jumps up into the high seat and unloads the waste into a thirty-yard dumpster
container located adjacent to the garbage collection space.
A space sometimes occu-pied with retrieved objects that “donors” pull from their rubbish, or Bruce and his helpers rescue from the trash, and is set aside for reclamation.
That Saturday, an elderly man set out a plastic, three story dollhouse - per-haps his granddaughter’s outgrown toy house - next to the side of the dump-ster and within minutes, another man came up to it, and while examining its playtime potential, called out to Bruce Koterass, “is this in recycle?” Bruce told him that indeed it was. The man said he operated a childcare center and it would be a nice toy.
“What sets down here sometimes doesn’t set down here long until someone else picks it up.” No sooner
had he said that, when another person set a broken down electric chainsaw into the piled collection of “retrieved” objects. Among them: a DVD player, a two-drawer metal filing cabinet, an aluminum win-dow frame, a coil of used Christmas lights.
And a large multi-drawer
steel storage cabinet that this article’s author put into his pickup truck and took to his wood shop. Many tiny drawers for screws and fasteners are handy.
Bruce assisted the metal cabinet into the truck bed, “I like it when some of these things get reused. It’s a good thing to recycle
stuff.”
Bruce has been with the Westfield Recycle Center for four years. Previously, he held the same job with Sinclairville Township. “I retired. Now I’m just sort of part time.” Bruce speaks energetically, as if a shop owner and the trash depositors his customers.
Assisting Bruce is Mike Rushback. Mike is the one to whom a Westfield resident will hand the yel-low prepaid trash collection punch-card. Which Mike does, punching the card-board paper with a pliers-like knockout. “Mike’s sorta like the accountant,” Bruce remarked about Mike’s job.
A third member of the collection site team also assists residents unload car, mini-van, and pickup. He wished to be anonymous; his presence at the recycle center, “being here just as a
volunteer,” he said, wink-ing, then smiling.
A woman with a bin of cans and bottles ap-proached Bruce, “where do these go?” Bruce pointed to the four-panel hopper next to the dumpster, “glass in the middle, tins on the left.” He helped her lift and dump the contents into the appropriate bins.
A small boy, accompanied by his mother, dragged a plastic garbage bag to the front-loader scoop. He swung the bag - the bag as large as him - into the pile.
“Thank you,” Bruce told the boy, as if the boy were doing a favor. Which, inad-vertently, he was: helping to support a cleaner commu-nity by gathering trash.

Coughs and sneezes have slowly invaded school and work. People have slowly begun to disappear for a few days, only to come back. Flu season has ar-rived, and much earlier, and it seems to be quickly shaping up as one of the more severe ones.
“High levels of infl uenza-like-illness are widespread according to the Center for Disease Control’s lat-est FluView report,” said Christine Schuyler, Chau-tauqua County Public Health Director. “Reports of infl uenza-like-illness are nearing what have been peak levels during moder-ately severe seasons.”
“To date in Chautau-qua County, the Health Department has received reports of 283 cases of
infl uenza but we know that number is very low because only laboratory confi rmed
cases are reported to local health departments.” said Christine Schuyler. “Many
health care providers do Infl uenza rapid testing in their practices and are
not obligated to report those cases to local or state health departments and from what we’re hearing from local providers, this fl u season is proving to be one of the most severe we’ve seen,” added Schuy-ler.
While citizens over the age of six months have been urged to get the fl u shot, due to the fact it has been increasingly diffi cult to get one, there are other measures people may take as a caution against the fl u. This includes:
-Cough or sneeze into a tissue or the crook of your elbow. Not your hand. Throw out tissues in the garbage afterwards.
-Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds often. Use alco-holic based sanitizers if not near a sink.
-Keep hands away from eyes, nose and mouth.
-Try to avoid close contact with the sick.
-Stay home if sick.
The fl u season typically peaks around January or February, and can last to May. As a result, for those have not yet been vaccinat-ed, there is some time still. However, it should be done as quickly as possible due to the fact the shot takes two weeks to provide full pro-tection. Even with the fl u shot, it can still be possible to contract the fl u although it will be much milder then it would be if the shot had not been received.
For more information on infl uenza vaccination, ill-ness and reducing your risk of contracting the fl u visit www.cdc.gov or contact the Chautauqua County Department of Health at 1-866-604-6789

Hootenannies, informal gatherings of folks who enjoyed singing and swap-ping songs, were a popular fi xture of the folk music revival of the late 1950s and early 1960s. The casual format of the “hoot” en-sured a comfortable setting for seasoned and fl edgling musicians alike, and a place for emerging songwriters to try out their material.
Infi nity Visual & Perform-ing Arts Café will be the site of a 1960s-style hootenanny on Friday evening, January 18, from 7 to 9 p.m., hosted by the popular local folk music duo, Doc & Bill. Ad-mission is free, and persons of all ages and skill levels are encouraged to attend, as are those who simply want to enjoy the experience of hearing others sing and play.
“Although hootenannies hit their peak popularity decades before Infi nity was created, they were very much in keeping with what
we are doing today,” said Shane Hawkins, executive director of the Jamestown-based organization. “Our mission includes providing a
diverse creative experience for a wide cross-section of young people, giving them a place to learn from others and try out their skills in a

nurturing setting.”
In keeping with the for-mat of early hootenannies, the event will be strictly unplugged; no sound amplifi cation for voices or instruments will be used. Attendees are encouraged to bring traditional acous-tic folk instruments such as guitars, banjos and mando-lins, as well as lyric sheets for songs they would like to share with the group.
Doc & Bill will open the proceedings with a couple of songs that were standard hootenanny fare back in the day, and will facilitate the festivities from there on out. “My fondest memo-ries of the original hoots have to do with the joy of playing with other people, and the confi dence that grows from that experi-ence,” said the duo’s Bill Drellow. ”It was impossible to feel self-conscious at a hootenanny, or to not have a good time.” Added John (“Doc”) Hamels, “We’ll all be seated in a big circle on the fl oor of the café, no microphones, no amps, in a setting that’s even less pres-sured than an open mic. In addition to bringing out younger performers, we’d love to see people from our generation dusting off guitars and banjos they’ve kept under the bed for years.”

In an effort to continue to improve and expand the outreach of its human ser-vice organization, Heritage Ministries is pleased to announce the restructuring of its Office of Develop-ment and Marketing. Doug Justham will manage the department with an em-phasis on fundraising and serve as Team Leader for Senior Housing.
Mr. Justham joined Heri-tage Ministries in the Fall of 2011 and leads the team responsible for the opera-tions of Heritage Village Retirement Campus (Gerry, New York) and The Woodlands, a Heritage Senior Living Community (West Ellicott, New York.
Chris Anderson returns to Heritage Ministries as Marketing Manager after a year away to manage the marketing functions, including branding, ad-vertising, promotions, web site, media relations, public relations, print/electronic communications, and special events. Mr. Ander-son previously worked for Heritage Ministries from November 2007 to October 2011. Chris will also focus on building an expanded social media and online presence for the organiza-tion.
Mr. Justham states, “It is a great privilege for me to come to work on a daily basis knowing I get to serve our residents and work with a great group of people who truly believe the residents are family. I love being able to make a difference in people’s lives and Heritage gives me that opportunity.”
Mr. Anderson states, “I am truly blessed to have the opportunity to come back ‘home’ to a wonderful organization. I look for-ward to working tirelessly to promote the quality care and services we provide to so many Chautauqua
County residents on a daily basis.”
“I am thrilled to add such experienced, talented, and quality individuals to the Heritage Ministries fam-ily,” explains David Smelt-zer, Executive Director. “As a team, I am confident that Doug and Chris will enable Heritage Ministries to effectively communicate our mission to those we serve and the community at large in order to increase the visibility and outreach of our human service min-istries.”

There’s a lot that changes in a century, but the tradi-tion and respect associated with the name Harley Davidson and motorcycles is not one of those things.
For over 66 years, Gow-anda Harley Davidson, a family owned business started by John and Babs Reid in 1947, has stayed the course while evolving with the changing times, customer demands and demographics.
Over the years the dealer-ship has enlarged its facility 14 times and in the last six, it has added a motor-cycle showroom, as well as undertaking numerous remodels.
Millions in Inventory and so much more
Tim McKeever, Market-ing Manager for Gowanda H-D has a lot to talk about with its motorcycles alone. Along with millions of
dollars in inventory, the dealership also includes motorcycle storage, diag-nostics, service and parts as well as a full line of riding wear and other clothing, all of which are H-D autho-rized. Plus, there are over 9,000 ways to “accessorize your ride.”
The showroom displays everything from the smaller Sportster 1200 or 883 models, all the way to full touring bikes, with a range in price from $3,000 to $35,000.
Gowanda H-D also has a museum collection of 25 Harleys dating back to the mid 1930s, including one of the oldest models, a Harley 35, owned by the Reids. According to McKeever, John rode the bike to Mil-waukee where he signed official dealership papers for his new business. The couple also used the bike on their honeymoon.
While admitting that brand markets itself, Mc-Keever attributes much of
the dealership’s success to its outstanding record of service. In fact, of the 600 plus Harley Davidson deal-erships, Gowanda ranks in the top two to three per-cent, according to customer satisfaction surveys.
Among the shop’s ser-vice staff are two “master technicians” that have completed years of me-chanics training through Harley Davidson. The shop also utilizes “Dynojet” diagnostics, which mea-sures (through computer monitoring) air/fuel ratios, exhaust, and horsepower for the purpose of optimum performance.
Harley-Day Valley 2013, Jan. 26-27
Those who have never been on a bike, or those who would like to try out the new Sportster Seventy Two, will get the opportu-nity to do just that at the Harley-Day Valley 2013 event Jan 26-27 at Holiday Valley in Ellicottville.
“It’s an opportunity for
us to connect with our customers in the middle of the winter,” says McK-eever. The event has three purposes, he says. “It’s a learn to ski, learn to ride and cabin fever party all combined.”
“We are going to bring this bike down on its jumpstart and put it on the top floor of their brand new $14 million dollar lodge. People are going to be able to ride that have never ridden a motorcycle before, go through the gears, and it stays right in place.”
McKeever says the Sport-ster will be mounted to a portable device where the rear tire will spin in place, for riderss “to get the feel and sensation of what it is like to ride a Harley.”
Made in America and Still “Cool”
So much about the Harley name and reputation have
stood the test of time. It is after all, an American suc-cess story. “It’s the heritage, knowing that it began in America and it continues to stay in America,” says McKeever, noting the manufacturer is based in York, PA.
H-D has survived the de-pression, and while not im-mune to downturns in the economy, McKeever said unlike some companies, it does not compromise its product to save money.
“This is the standard of quality we are going to offer; Harley Davidson continues to enhance and improve their product and is always on top of what the customer is saying.”
“Over the past 15 years, H-D has seen more women riders; more women are getting off the back of the seat and on the front of their own.”
Contrary to the old “biker bar” character stereotype, McKeever says the culture of the rider has completely changed, as doctors, nurses, teachers and other professionals and retirees are added to the ranks.
All of which begs the next question: Why are Harleys still cool? The answer, says McKeever: “110 years of American-made respect.”
Gowanda Harley Davidson is located at 2535 Gow-anda Zoar Road in Gow-anda and is open Tuesdays through Saturday. For more information on the business or the Harley-Day Valley 2013 event, interested persons may call 716-532-4584 or to www.gowandaharley.com.

Sabres Fans Showing Their
Support In Ticket Sales
By John WawrowAP Sports Writer
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) -- Hockey's back, and so are droves of die-hard Sabres fans, who are show-ing few signs of holding any post-NHL lockout grudge in Buffalo.
It's evident in the demand for tickets. The Sabres announced Monday that it took them one day to sell more than 31,000 of the remaining 80,000 tickets they had available for their 24 home games.
It was apparent at the team's store, where fans stood in line for up to a half hour to take advan-tage of the Sabres selling all of their merchandise - from $320 jerseys to toddler pajamas - at half price.
''Surprised? Not really. It's been the buzz in Buffalo,'' said Jason Brosius, who was in line preparing to buy a Nathan Gerbe jersey with a list price of $164.99. ''I missed hockey. Everybody missed it.''
And then there was the traffi c-jam forming Monday evening in front of the Sabres arena, the First Niagara Center. That's where fans were preparing to attend Sabres practice, which the team opened to the public. By the time the puck dropped, nearly all of the lower bowl of the arena was fi lled with fans.

In case you didn’t notice, the Na-tional Hockey League just locked out its players for the better part of four months.
This lockout craze in professional sports is getting a little bit ridicu-lous. The National Basketball Association lost half of a season last year. The NHL became the only major North American sport league to lose an entire season to a lockout back in 2004-2005. Even the mighty National Football League dealt with the issue in the past 18 months.
Ironically enough, it’s Major League Baseball, which became infamous for its player’s strike in 1994, that has avoided a work stoppage and become the model for league-union peace.
It just seems that with such a mind-numbing amount of money that each of these leagues brings in (some more than others of course), that fi nding the best way to divvy up the profi ts wouldn’t be so hard. It even seems at times that the NHL and NBA don’t actually WANT any fans with these labor stoppages.

The Board of Directors of the Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame is proud to announce that Walt Thurnau will be formally inducted at the CSHOF’s 32nd Annual Banquet, Monday, Feb-ruary 18, at the Lakewood Rod and Gun Club.
Walt Thurnau knows a little bit about wrestling and life. Just ask anyone who came in contact with him.
For 36 years, he was the coach at Southwestern Central, retir-ing in 2002, leaving a legacy of success, always helping others to be the best they could be in both the classroom where he taught history and on the mats.
Thurnau was born in Chicago, but moved to the Philippines when he was four. He grew to love the game basketball, where his rough-and-tumble style confound-ed his opponents since offensive fouls were never called. When he got back to the United States, however, that style of play didn't serve him well and he was cut from his high school team. The basketball coach sent him across the hall to the wrestling room and the rest became history.
He graduated from Lock Haven State College in 1966 and came to Chautauqua County, landing at Southwestern as an assistant coach where he honed his trade under the guidance of another coaching legend, Clarence "Flash" Olson.
Olson left the scene in 1975 and Thurnau took over as the head coach and from that point on, his teams posted a 297-97 record, which ranked him in the top 20 of high school coaches in New York State. The Trojans earned two Section 6 Division 1 championships in 1987-88 and 1994-95, and a Section 6 Class B-2 championship in 1994-95.Thurnau also coached 62 indi-vidual champions at the South-ern Tier League tournament and hundreds of his wrestlers earned tournament titles. He coached 17 wrestlers to the New York State tournament, including state champions Ed Pawlak in 1999 and Jim Nelson in 2002.
Thurnau also served as president of the Southern Tier Wrestling Coaches Association and was named the Southern Tier Coach of the Year in 1998. He also ran the USA Kids Wrestling Pro-gram at Southwestern for more than 25 years.

As big as Monday’s bowling match between Silver Creek and Forestville was in the standings — the boys teams are separated by just half a game and the girls are the top two teams in CCAA Division 2 — the action at Lucky Lanes was more about giving back.
For the third consecutive year, Forestville proudly hosted its “Strike Out Cancer” event to benefi t Carly’s Club at Roswell Park Cancer Institute.
“The biggest thing really is getting the kids involved in it,” Forestville bowling coach Todd Langworthy said. “It gets them involved in community service and realize that there’s more to it than just yourselves and your sports. You can use your sports to do some good in the community.”
Though the fi nal dollar amount raised was unavailable, if the size of the crowd at Lucky Lanes can be used as any indication, Carly’s Club can be expecting a massive donation. Parents, family and friends came out to support the athletes and the cause.
“We preach to the kids that they need to be part of the community they live in,” Langworthy con-
tinued. “That’s the whole idea. If they do that, they’ll turn out to be good people. That’s what we’re trying to do. We’re trying to create bowlers, for sure, but also good people who do every-thing they can do make their communities better.”
This was the second straight year that Silver Creek was a participant in the event. Lang-worthy feels that the Black Knights are the ideal partner to maximize the success of “Strike out Cancer”.
“We’ve kept the format the same because it works,” he said. “Working with Silver Creek has been fantastic. It’s a close school and a big rivalry. A lot of people come out to support both teams so we have a good
crowd. Working with Silver Creek has been awesome. Coach (Kevin) Rice and all the parents are great people.”
When the idea for this event came up three years ago, the Forestville team decided they wanted to help children with cancer. Carly’s Club was the perfect fi t. Here’s the Carly’s Club mission statement as posted on the Roswell Park web-site: “Carly’s Club for Kids and Cancer Research in WNY exists to offer support programs to make life more manageable for children diagnosed with cancer and their families, and to raise funds for pediatric cancer re-search seeking cures at Roswell Park Cancer Institute.”

As far as sports rivalries in Chautauqua Country go, it’s hard to get any more heated than the constant clashes between Dunkirk and Fredonia.
That’s what makes the cur-rent situation between the two schools’ swimming and diving teams so unique.
The week before the schools were set to go on winter break, the Fredonia Central School pool developed a leak that sent some 80,000 gallons of water into the school’s basement. The water loss left the pool with a remaining depth of only three feet, clearly not enough for a swim team to practice or hold meets.
Luckily for the Hillbillies, Dunkirk was there to step up and offer its facilities to the Fredonia swim team. Both teams have been practicing together now for a couple weeks and the experi-ment is going splendidly.
“My fi rst reaction was sympa-thy,” fi rst-year Dunkirk swim coach Bryan Westling said. “I can’t imagine losing our pool and all of a sudden we didn’t have a place to practice or con-tinue our season.
“Of course there was a little bit
of reservation,” Westling added. “Before you start anything new there’s a little bit of reservation. We both try to be as understand-ing as possible. Whatever lanes we need, we get. Whatever lanes they need, they get. We’ve even ran the same practice a few times just to make it easier on everybody.”
“I was okay with it once I found out that (Dunkirk) would let us practice right after school with them,” Fredonia coach Bob Ball added. “That was unexpected. I thought we’d have to practice the
5:30-7:30 shift. (Westling) was more than gracious enough to let us practice with them right after school. We have quite a few kids in the musical, so it allowed them to continue on with both. I’m very happy with the situation.”
Swimming is an interesting sport. It’s a sport where everyone cheers for everyone else regardless of the situation. In baseball, parents, players and fans cheer if an op-posing player strikes out. In bas-ketball, a chorus of “aaaaaiiiir-

rrrrballll” would rain down upon a player who took an errant shot. But in swim-ming, every coach, athlete and parent cheers for every swimmer. The last person out of the pool is usually greeted by a contingent from both his team and the opposing team, congratu-lating him on a good race. It’s a wonderful thing to see and a main reason why the Dunkirk-Fredonia practices are running so smoothly.
“Once we started doing it, I don’t think it could work any better,” Ball continued. “It’s been a good situation for us. The kids get along great. They’re a lot alike. For the most part, swim-mers are usually good stu-dents, so there’s little issue with that. The first day we had a very good practice and finished with a game of water polo and switched up the teams. I don’t think it could have worked out any better for us.”
“The older guys didn’t flinch at all when they heard Fredonia would be
swimming with us,” Wes-tling added. “They have been swimming for years and know these guys, have competed against these guys and like these guys.”
An unforeseen benefit to this situation is the build-ing of a relationship between Westling, a first-time coach, and Ball, a coach with years of coach-ing experience between swimming and football.
“It’s been great,” Westling said. “(Ball) is a wealth of knowledge. He’s willing to answer any question I might have. He’s been great to have around. It’s almost like a blessing in disguise. I appreciate everything he’s done and every piece of ad-vice he’s given me. I know that there’s only so much I know as a first-year coach.”
(Westling) is very knowl-edgeable,” Ball added of his coaching coun-terpart. “I did not swim in high school. Since then, I’ve learned a lot about swimming, but he’s
certainly knowledgeable having swum. He knows what he’s doing. This is Dunkirk’s third coach in three years, which makes it hard to build a program. Hopefully he sticks around a few years because I can see him do-ing good things here. He’s been very easy to work with. I’m very pleased as far as that goes.”
It hasn’t just been the coaches exchanging infor-mation either. The athletes themselves have helped each other whenever they can. Fredonia senior Jacob Brown, who Ball called “one of the best flip turners I’ve had”, has demonstrat-ed to some of Dunkirk’s younger athletes how he snaps over to get the most out of his turn. Likewise, Dunkirk’s Peter Kubera is one of the better divers in the area — despite being just a sophomore — and has helped a young crop of Fredonia divers master their craft.
The ultimate test will be
Thursday, Jan. 24 when Fredonia and Dunkirk swim against each other in a CCAA Division 1 meet. Fredonia is listed as the home team, but of course the event will be at Dunkirk High School.
“We won’t make them give up the home bench or anything,” Ball said with a laugh. “I pretty much know where Dunkirk’s strengths are and (Westling) knows where our strengths are. We know the kids have to swim well and it will come down to that.”
“I see it going down simi-larly to the first time we met here (when Fredonia won, 113-63),” Westling added. “Fredonia is a young team, but they’re also a much bigger team. With numbers come wins in this sport.”
Yes, Fredonia might win the meet, but it sure sounds like everyone involved has already won and made the absolute best of a bad situation.
CommenTary ConTInueD From pG 1By Stefan GestwickiStar Sports Editor
The conference champion-ship games are upon us after two weeks of incredibly entertaining playoff football.
It’s possible that last week was the greatest week in NFL history. We had a double-overtime playoff game, a game-winning kick as time expired, a 70-yard touchdown pass that tied a game with seconds remain-ing, a record-breaking per-formance by a quarterback making his eighth career start and some bizarre coaching decisions that will be questioned for a long, long time.
Let’s hope that was just the appetizer. The main course is on its way.
San FranCISCo 49erS at aTLanTa FaLConS (Sunday, 3 p.m., FoX)So much for Atlanta not being as good as its 13-3 regular season record. The Falcons probably should have won their game with Seattle by more than the skin of their teeth. Sure, Matt Bryant’s field goal to win the game will go down in team history forever, but when you’re up by 20 in the second half, it shouldn’t be that close.
On the other side, Co-lin Kaepernick and San Francisco obliterated the Packers’ defense. After an early pick-6, the first-year starter simply took off, rushing for a playoff record 181 yards and two scores. Green Bay simply had no answers. Aaron Rodgers wasn’t terrible, but threw an interception on third down that proved costly.
WHY SAN FRANCISCO CAN WIN: It used to start and end with defense. The 49rs’ defense is littered with Pro Bowlers like Aldon Smith, Justin Smith, Patrick Willis and Carlos Rogers. All of a sudden however, this team is just as scary on offense. Former starter Alex Smith was a game manager and did a great job of not turning the ball over. Kaep-ernick, on the other hand, has breathed new life into a receiving corp that includes former first-round pick Mi-chael Crabtree and future Hall-of-Famer Randy Moss.
Even Vernon Davis made an appearance against the Packers. Simply put, there’s not many reasons why this team CAN’T win.
WHY ATLANTA CAN WIN: Home field advan-tage can never be underes-timated in the NFL. The Falcons will get to stay in their own homes all week while the 49ers have a cross-country flight and ho-tels to deal with. The time change factor is probably overrated, but the numbers don’t lie: teams coming east for the early game simply don’t succeed very often. Add in crowd noise and the Georgia Dome could be-come a very hard place for a visiting team to win. Plus Matt Ryan is eager to prove his doubters wrong. He got his first playoff victory, but a Super Bowl ring might be enough to put him into that elite category with Brady, Brees and Rogers.
WHO WILL WIN: You can pick apart their sched-ule or shine a light on their weaknesses all you want, but the Falcons are the No. 1 seed in the NFC for a reason. The 49ers were also winless in two attempts against the St. Louis Rams. Yes, Kaepernick has looked unstoppable. Yes, the 49ers defense is the best in the league. Yes, Matt Ryan has a tendency to…not per-form…in big games. The Falcons still have Roddy White. They still have the electric Julio Jones. They still have Tony Gonzalez, who is almost assuredly re-tiring at the end of this year and wants more than any-thing to add a Super Bowl to his Hall of Fame career.
THE CALL: Atlanta 31, San Francisco 27.
BaLTImore raVenS aT neW enGLanD paTrIoTS (Sunday, 6:30 p.m., CBS)And everyone was so sure about a Peyton Manning-Tom Brady AFC Champi-onship. Instead, we’ll get a rematch of last year’s game when the Patriots prevailed on a horribly missed field goal from Billy Cundiff.
The two teams met earlier this season too, with Bal-timore coming out on top 31-30 on another interest-ing Ravens kick. Justin Tucker “made” a 27-yard field goal as time expired to give Baltimore the win. The ball sailed over the right upright, making it very difficult to tell if the kick was true.
If the last two games be-tween these teams are any indication, this matchup should be one for the ages.
WHY BALTIMORE CAN WIN: After ending the regular season on a putrid 1-4 run, the Ravens seemed to have found their mojo after knocking off Indianapolis and then the No. 1-seeded Denver Bron-cos. Tom Brady and Peyton Manning are the consensus best two quarterbacks of this generation. Baltimore and its own contingent of future Hall-of-Famers can knock both of them out of the playoffs in one year. Ray Lewis’ emotional retirement announcement is going to continue to give this team new life. Quar-terback Joe Flacco had another monster game, this one against a top defense in Denver. Flacco has a lot to
prove despite being in the AFC Championship for the third time. Ray Rice and Torrey Smith are dynamic weapons if the Ravens choose to use them.
WHY NEW ENGLAND CAN WIN: Baltimore knocking off Denver last week meant that Tom Brady and Co. get to stay at home and wait for the Ravens to come to Foxborough. Not many teams come into Gillette Stadium and leave with a win. Lewis might be at the end of his career, but the Patriots know they aren’t getting any younger and this might be their best chance to get Brady another ring. The defense has improved from the his-torically bad unit last year, and it’s not like they’re go-ing up against the Falcons’ or Packers’ offense in this one. With a Super Bowl berth on the line, would you bet against Brady?
WHO WILL WIN: There’s no way New England loses this game at home. The Patriots are just too good. Losing Rob Gronkowski will hurt, but they’ve been running the ball with authority lately anyway. Wes Welker and Aaron Hernandez still form a potent receiving duo and Tom Brady can make anyone look like a Pro Bowler when he’s throw-ing the ball. Baltimore has had a nice playoff run and maybe they’re more battle-tested than New England, who won rather easily over Houston after having a first-round bye, but…THE CALL: New England 44, Baltimore 31.
So how bad was this latest NHL lockout?
The two sides met, couldn’t agree and parted ways countless times. Every story you read was probably the same. Players were giving up hope and going to play in Europe. Neither side was willing to make conces-sions. Part of the problem was the horrible job they did negotiating the last col-lective bargaining agree-ment in 2005. Another lost season seemed all but certain.
Luckily the Toronto Blue Jays were making a big splash in free agency and trades or Canadian sports fans might have lost their minds, eh?
But wait. In came a me-diator and suddenly there was light at the end of the tunnel. After four gruel-ing months, NHL fans had their hockey back — after another week of voting and scheduling, of course. Why hurry this process along?
The damage a lockout can do to a sport can be crushing. Logic might tell you that fans will be too mad to come back and buy tickets, merchandise, etc. Economists might argue that there’s no way the league will ever get its sponsors back, that a com-pany would be nuts to sink money into such a proven risk as the NHL.
And some of that is true of course. There are a few stubborn fans out there that think them staying at home is putting a dent in the owners’ wallets. There were fans that thought burning their Calgary Flames jersey would make a profound impact on the NHL’s willingness to concede on the salary cap issue.
That’s foolishness of course. While the NHL may be all but irrelevant on a national scale – sorry hockey fans, there’s a reason that ESPN doesn’t waste its time with NHL games or even high-lights — its fan base is loyal to no end. Small, but loyal.
That was evident this past week when the Sabres an-nounced that ticket sales were going through the roof. Nearly the entire lower bowl was filled with fans at a recent practice that was open to the pub-lic. Good luck trying to convince owners that their lockout hurt the sport.
An argument could actual-ly be made that the lockout actually helped hockey. How does the old saying go? Absence makes the heart grow fonder? If you spent any time listening to sports radio or reading fan forums, you’d believe that to be true. Real hockey fans were dying to see Sidney Crosby, Alexander Ovechkin and Thomas Vanek back on the ice.
More importantly, they’re still willing to pay for it.
In truth, individual ticket sales make up a small per-centage of a NHL team’s profits. It’s more important for a team to land TV contacts, stadium naming rights, advertising contacts and corporate box seats. Time will tell if the league can rebound, but where there are fans, the corpo-rate money will follow.
Another strike against the NHL has nothing to do with the lockout, but rather deals with the fundamental mainframe of the game it-self. That problem is a lack of marketable superstars.
Yes, the NHL has a few big name guys like Crosby or Ovechkin that a casual sports fan would recognize. But ask ten people on the street if they know who Jof-frey Lupul or Jamie Benn are. How many knew? One? Two? Zero? Those two guys were on the NHL All-Star Team last season.
The problem stems from the lack of ice time that the stars can see. If you go to a Miami Heat game, you know that LeBron James is going to be on the floor for 35+ minutes and score at least 25 points. He’s going to be a difference-maker in the game.
In the NHL, if you go see a Washington Capitals game, you’ll see Ovechkin on the ice for a shade under 20 minutes, according to the 2011-2012 season’s num-bers. He scored 38 goals in 78 games — just under 50 percent. So if you go to two games and drop well over 100 dollars on tickets alone — and gas, park-ing, concessions, etc. could make that number sky-rocket — you MIGHT see Ovechkin score a goal. It’s really no wonder the NBA is more popular than the NHL right now.
It’s also much easier for everyday people to play basketball. Hockey is expensive. You need skates, a stick, pads and an ice rink. To play basketball, all that’s required is a ball, a pair of sneakers and a hoop — which there a lot more of than ice rinks. A person is more apt to watch and enjoy a sport that they play as opposed to one they don’t.
Again, the NHL certainly has some strikes against it and the lockout probably didn’t do them any favors, but don’t automatically assume that commissioner Gary Bettman drove the league into the ground, because that’s simply not the case. The NHL will be just fine, and thanks to an end to the lockout, so will its fans.

The high school sports schedule is once again packed with intrigu-ing matchups. There is a lot of non-division ac-tion this week, but that doesn’t mean there won’t be a plethora of high-lights around Chautauqua County.
Here are some of the best of the week:
monDay*Editor’s note: The schools will be closed to observe Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. There is just one event.
Indoor Track and Field: Dunkirk and Fredonia at 9th and 10th grade meet, at Steele Hall Fieldhouse, SUNY Fredonia.
TueSDayGirls Basketball: Chautau-qua Lake at Ellicottville — The Lady Thunderbirds (6-0, 10-0) have been virtu-ally unstoppable this year, but Ellicottville (4-1, 6-4) has the pieces to give them fi ts in this non-league con-test. Ellicottville knocked Chautauqua Lake out of the volleyball playoffs in the fall, and with a lot of the same athletes involved, this one should be emotional.
Girls Basketball: Clarence at Jamestown — The Lady Red Raiders (6-0, 9-2) have yet to lose a league game and there’s little chance of Clar-ence (1-4, 4-6) dealing them their fi rst loss, but stranger things have happened.
Boys Basketball: Brocton at Pine Valley — The Bull-dogs (5-1, 8-1) continue to surprise people in CCAA Divison 4, but they will be moving up a division to take on Pine Valley (1-4, 2-7), which sports a number of great athletes.
WeDneSDayWRESTLING: Portville vs. Westfi eld/Ripley/Chau-tauqua Lake at Chautau-qua Lake.
WRESTLING: Randolph at Panama.
WRESTLING: Maple Grove at Frewsburg.
On a relatively light sched-ule, wrestling dominates the day. Athletes are reach-ing mid-season form as the usual suspects — as well as some surprise candi-dates — vie to a spot in the Sectional meet.
THurSDaySwimming and diving: Dunkirk at Fredonia — The two teams have been practicing together at Dunkirk High School since a leak at the Fredonia pool in mid-December. They will renew their rivalry as the Marauders will be listed as “guests” in their own building.
Girls Basketball: Maple Grove at Chautauqua Lake — A tough week continues for the Lady Thunderbirds. If they survive Ellicottville on Tuesday, they’ll have to get by the hungry Lady Red Dragons, too. Maple Grove (4-1, 6-4) can help itself a whole lot if it can knock off CCAA Division 3-leading Chautauqua Lake.
Girls Basketball: Silver Creek at Salamanca — The Black Knights (3-2, 5-4) have a lot of weapons, but fi nd themselves right smack dab in the middle of CCAA Division 2 with Salamanca (3-3, 7-4). One of these teams will gain a major leg up with a win in what should be a tightly contested game.
FrIDayGirls Basketball: Clymer at Sherman — The top two teams in CCAA Division 4
clash as Clymer (3-0, 9-2) heads to Sherman (5-0, 10-0) in a matchup where somebody will be handed its fi rst league loss. Neither team has shown much weakness, but Sherman has yet to lose it either league or non-league play.
Wrestling: Falconer and Maple Grove at Salamanca Tournament — Falconer continues to be near the top of the Western New York rankings and recently won the Patrick J. Morales Memorial Wrestling Tour-nament for the fourth time in fi ve years. The Golden Falcons aren’t a team any-one would want to go up against right now.
Wrestling: West Sen-eca West at Jamestown — Jamestown moved up the Western New York large school rankings and currently sits at No. 6 after spending a few weeks at No. 8. The Red Raiders might be fi nding their form at exactly the right time in the season to make a run.
Boys Basketball: Forestville at Panama — Both these teams trail Maple Grove and Westfi eld in the CCAA Division 3 standings, but a win by either the Hornets (1-2, 3-6) or the Panthers (2-1, 3-4) would be a step in the right direction if either plans to chase down the leaders.
SaTurDayGirls Basketball: Dunkirk at Pine Valley — These two teams met a few weeks ago at Dunkirk High School for an afternoon game and this time they’ll be in South Dayton at 12:30 p.m. The fi rst game was decided by three points as the Lady Marauders survived a last-second shot attempt by the Lady Pan-thers. If this game is half as entertaining as the fi rst, it’s a must see

What to Watch For
By Stefan GestwickiStar Sports Editor
Basketball Zed Williams (Silver Creek) — Williams scored his 1,000th career point in the Black Knights’ 86-79 win over Randolph, Thursday. His 25 points, including 13 in the fi nal eight minutes, helped Silver Creek erase a fourth-quarter defi cit and remain undefeated both in CCAA Division 2 (6-0) and overall (11-0).Swimming and diving Shawn McDonald (Frewsburg) — McDonald helped Frewsburg to a pair of victories on the week. On Thursday he won both the 400 meter freestyle (5:10.79) and the 100 meter
backstroke (1:15.76). He also was part of two of the Bears’ winning relay teams, leading off the 200 medley relay and the 400 freestyle relay. Frewsburg defeated Fredonia, 115-68. Then on Tuesday, McDonald again won the 100 backstroke (1:12.57) while taking second place in the 400 freestyle and helped the Bears win the 200 medley relay as Frewsburg beat Panama, 61-40.Bowling Emily Dillenburg (Forestville) — Dillenburg led Forestville to an 8-0 record for the week. The Lady Hornets fi rst dispatched of Frewsburg, 4-0, thanks to Dillenburg’s 550 series and high game of 202. She really turned it
on Monday in Forestville’s “Strike Out Cancer” event at Lucky Lanes as she broke the magical 600 mark with a 606 series. Her high game was 226. The Lady Hornets now sit atop CCAA Division 2 with a record of 34-2.Wrestling Jake Youngberg (Falconer) — Youngberg only had one tournament this week but made it count. Wrestling at 145 pounds, Youngberg dominated his way to a class championship at the Patrick J. Morales Memorial Wrestling Tournament on Saturday. His victory helped the Golden Falcons capture the team championship for the fourth time in fi ve years. Youngberg won all three of his matches by fall.

Enjoy cross country skiing? Then be sure to check out the guided tour being of-fered at Long Point State Park on Saturday, Jan. 26 at 10 a.m.
The tour will be guided by the park’s environmental educator, Dave McQuay.
“We’re going to start at the park offi ce,” McQuay ex-plained. “I still have to pre-view the ski, but it’s probably about two miles. It’s hilly there, but it’s easy for people of different abilities.”
This is the second year for the event and Mc-Quay noted that last year received a very nice turnout.
“We didn’t have any snow,” he added. “We took a nice hike, though. By the end of the hike there was fi ve inches of snow.”
The same backup plan is in place this year. With no snow on the ground right now, a hike would be in order, but Western New York weather is less than predictable.
“We’ll do a hike if need be,” McQuay continued. “If there’s snow, people need to bring their own cross country skis. They can rent them. Once place nearby would be Evergreen Outfi t-ters on Chautauqua Lake. They take the rental price off the skis if you want to buy them afterwards.”
The event is free of charge and McQuay will stop peri-odically to explain points of interest around the park.
“I know people like to keep warm and keep going, but
there will be a few interesting stops
along the way,” he said.
This is the description of the event as listed on www.tourchau-tauqua.com:
“History and nature, old growth trees and more, ski the scenic views along the lakeshore. A glacial moraine rises above 1,300 feet and below Chautauqua’s waters are considered the most deep. Bring your cross coun-try skis for a guided tour.”
For more information or to register, call (716)-549-1050. Long Point State Park is located on Route 430 in Bemus Point, NY.

“You can set out a Wag-gler,” Nathan from Cabela’s sport store recommended. A waggler is a rock-formed dome shaped like a large inverted salad bowl. At the basin’s center is a tall rod that sticks upward — its antenna. The tip is affi xed with a bushy animal’s tail, similar to that of a squirrel, fox or mink, bringing to mind the 1950’s fad of at-taching a raccoon tail to the car’s radio antenna.
The tail can be jiggled remotely, as far away as 100 yards, via a wireless digital control; creating a radio operated tail wagging. Higher-end models have a speaker mounted inside the plastic rock-shaped bowl. Choosing a particular but-ton, the sound of a startled animal — a hare, fox pups, a fawn in distress, a house cat — will come from the speakers. “We have a lot of different styles,” Nathan suggested, adding, “most have a quiver option and calling.” Rabbit squeals, advertises the Waggler, can lure them into killing range.
Lure what into killing range?
“Usually coyotes,” Nathan confi rmed.
Attitudes on the subject of what to do about coyotes vary as diversely as those who hold those attitudes. To a farmer, they’re a pest. To hunters, another competi-tor for deer. For too many, a bane out of nature. Game hunters, according to public opinion — both as stated within online websites and within the minutes of Chau-tauqua County Legislature meetings — seem to unite that the coyote may possibly be a competitor for deer hunters. Environmental-ists, organizations such as People for the Ethical Treat-ment of Animals (PETA), and the Coalition to Abol-ish the Fur Trade (CAFT), would seek a complete moratorium on killing wild animals. Rural residents of Chautauqua County, those with personal or antidotal experience with coyotes, tell accounts contrasting both nuisance and attraction.
The New York State De-partment of Environmental Conservation says there are between twenty-fi ve and thirty thousand coyotes throughout the state. Opin-ions regarding the coyote impact, their environmen-tal balance, the deer-to-coyote appropriate ratio, their ecological impression, and, with a greater biased judgment, their necessity, sustain a varied resolution.
A resolution — one sanc-tioned by the NYSDEC game licensing commission — is to hunt them; to kill them. Annually, Chautau-qua County issues ap-proximately 34,000 hunting licenses. The coyote hunt-ing season is October until
March. There is no daily limit on coyotes “harvested”. The term, perhaps euphe-mistically, is used to detail the permissible number of game animal daily kill count allowed during the six-month seasonal duration. Some feel the season should be twelve months. Recently, Craig Robbins of the Jame-stown Post-Journal editori-ally opinioned, “An answer to the problem is to open up hunting coyotes year-round.”
The coyote, presumably, would also have an opinion. Albeit, apart from that of a natural instinctive one: preservation and survival. A survival, which according to multiple studies and analysis, encroaches beyond the mar-gins of nature, and town.
An immediate assumption would be that the greatest coyote populations exist in mostly in rural counties. Not necessarily. Coyotes have been sighted in Manhattan. The people-coyote interface differs in that city, but not greatly. A coyote’s diet con-sists of rodents. Mark Weckel is an ecologist and a doctoral student at the University of New York, “what happens is that when there is a top predator, it will help con-trol other levels of the food chain.” Weckel is also the director of research and land management at the Mianus River Gorge where he and his colleagues are trying to track the migratory patterns of coyotes through New York City and beyond. “Occa-sionally,” he states, “coyotes living in close proximity to people can lose their fear of humans and become ag-gressive toward people and pets.” According to the New York State Coyote Project, a life-science study conducted under the auspices of Cornell University, the report says that, “Interactions between people and coyotes are on the increase in New York.”
Interactions which can become an issue in both countryside and city; in-teractions which as char-acterized many licensed sportspersons means “quar-ry”, a hunter’s trophy.
On the weekend of Feb. 8, the Federation of Sports-men’s Clubs of Sullivan County will hold the 6th annual Coyote Hunt Con-test. The contest is open to any licensed hunter in New York State. A prize of $2,000 is given to the heaviest coyote presented to the judges. Women hunters
are granted an additional $100 for the same prize qualifi cation; the reason-ing for the gender reward is unexplained in the 2013 Coyote Hunt informa-tional fl yer. Last year’s prize went to a man from Ulster County. The coyote was taken by “a mouth call”, as is noted in the 2012 records. Mouth call being a hand-held resonator, simulating the renowned yip and cry of a coyote. If not a coyote’s distinctive yelp, the sound imitating a distressed ani-mal will summon a coyote.
Edna Calkin has been an organizer for the annual Sullivan Coyote Hunt for three of the six years. She is known in the Sullivan County area as, “Edna, the Coyote Lady.” Edna knows coyote calls. “Rabbit squeals seem to be a good call to lure the coyotes into killing range.” She also said, “At night is the best time to hunt them. That’s when they are out prowling.”
Calkin says that as of early January, “more than 200 hunters from across the state have signed up.” The rules of the contest, she said, “are simple.” Hunt-ers have to use guns. No trapping. Then clarifying further, she asserts, “the varmints have to be fresh killed that day, too. No frozen leftovers.”
No frozen leftover means that for a dead coyote to be a prize contestant its internal body temperature must measure at least 68 degrees. “A temperature below 68` could mean disqualifi cation,” says the Coyote Contest handout. The handout suggests, “use whatever means necessary to keep the body tempera-ture above 68 .̀ Wrap the coyote in bags, blankets or tarps and do not expose the coyote to the elements.”
A coyote’s distant canine relative, the dog, can be used to hunt coyotes. Spe-cially trained, the hunt dogs help to draw the coyote back to the hunter without any injury or risk to the hunting dogs. Occasionally, unsatisfactory consequences occur. A coyote is maimed, or, the dogs are injured. Hunters do their best to protect the dogs; the dog, like other essential hunting equipment, has value.
Some contestants to the Sul-livan County Coyote Hunt use pack dogs to pursue
coyotes. “Hunting with dogs is permitted”, says the hunt rules. As also stated, dam-aged or spoiled animals will be disqualifi ed. “No trapped or cable-restrained coyotes will be allowed.” The un-necessary graphics, implied.
Jack Danchak has been president of the Sportsman’s Federation for nineteen years, and is the 2013 Coy-ote Hunt Contest coordina-tor. “You get fi fty bucks for any size coyote you bring in,” he said. Presumably, dead. Last year, he recalled, there were almost 60 coyotes delivered to the offi cial con-test site. “And no disqualifi -cations,” he declared. The prize winning coyote weight last year was 47 pounds, Danchak said. The average weight of an Eastern coyote is 35 – 45 pounds. To date, he has received calls ranging from Buffalo to Rensselaer County. Some complained they couldn’t kill a coyote and get it to the weigh-in site on the days of the contest. “Too bad,” he admonished.
The primary purpose in the coyote hunt, as indicated through hunting clubs, is to “raise interest in hunting coyotes as sport and as a means to control the popu-lations, and to perpetuate hunting and fi shing through our children.” According to Warren Krum, a hunt club member, “coyote hunting today is what rabbit hunting was like 30 to 40 years ago.”
While people usually enjoy having wildlife around, problems sometimes arise when the activities of people and wildlife clash. To some, hunting coyotes is not a solution. Others feel the contest is callous and cruel. Anti-hunting advocates glower on the coyote hunt. And the hunters. “They are taking healthy animals in order to win a contest,” says Nicole Matthews, an activist and liaison member with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. “That is not wildlife management. That is murder.”
Danchak dismissed the dis-senters, “They’re not going to stop us from hunting if we do it properly within the law.” Then conclud-ing, “We do not really care about the antis; we will deal with them as need be.”

“We strictly go with Carly’s Club because it’s such a broad helper of kids,” Langworthy added. “They use the money in so many different ways to help the kids at Roswell. Whether it’s making the activity room there a little bet-ter, everything they do up there helps the kids. Carly’s Club takes our donation and distributes it for us how it’s most needed.”
Of course, there was plenty of bowling at the event as well. There were four scheduled matches at Lucky Lanes on Monday — Silver Creek vs. Forestville, Broc-ton vs. Chautauqua Lake, Fredonia vs. Jamestown and Falconer vs. Dunkirk. Fal-coner was unable to attend, but the Dunkirk athletes still held practice, so the place was packed.
“Once it starts,” Langwor-thy noted, “it’s all about the bowling. I don’t have to say anything about the bowling. They know why they’re here. The other stuff is just the extra stuff going on before the match, during the match and after the match.”
A few individuals re-ally stepped up under the pressure of a huge divi-sional match. Forestville’s Emily Dillengburg rolled a 226 game and 606 series as the Lady Hornets swept Silver Creek. Sarah Pleva added a 220-584 for For-estville. Silver Creek was
paced by Lizzy Golubski’s 212-570 and Tessa Gib-bon’s 202 game.
Brad Dillenburg led Forest-ville to a 3-1 victory on the boys’ side. He rolled a 211-213-650 to lead all bowlers. Teammate John Murphy added a 201-580. For Silver Creek, Carl Cotroneo had a 549 series while Tyler Steklasa was right behind him at 548.
All the Forestville and Silver Creek bowlers wore matching event shirts with sponsor logos on the back. Langworthy notes the shirts have become a source of pride amongst the two teams.
“I noticed from one year to the next I see a lot of kids wearing their shits all the time,” he said. “There’s a camaraderie with that. A lot of times on Saturday at junior bowl, I’ll see kids from both Forestville and Silver Creek wearing the shirts. There’s a lot of pride with that. It’s neat to see both the teams realizing that that’s an important thing they did.”
“It’s been a great event,” Langworthy concluded. “I hope we’re able to continue to help people in the community. It’s such a great cause in Carly’s Club. They’ve been very good to work with. They’re really great people up at Roswell and we’ve been happy to work with them for all these years.”

About 45 minutes into the Buffalo Sabres' fi rst practice, Jochen Hecht emerged from the dressing room tunnel.
Sticking with tradition, his teammates tapped the ice with their sticks Sunday in tribute to the veteran center.
Hecht, the longest-tenured member of the team with nine seasons, returned from his club in the German league to take part in the Sa-bres' opening workout since the NHL lockout ended.
''It was fun,'' Hecht said. ''It was a good feeling to be back.''
The Sabres took their physicals in the morning and then held a practice.
Hecht was limited to 22 games last season because of concussion effects. He played six games with Adler Mannheim in Ger-many during the lockout, scoring fi ve goals and add-ing eight assists.
''I saw everybody at the physicals. There was some paperwork that had to be fi nished before I went on the ice,'' he said.
Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said he was glad to have Hecht on the team.
''We felt that for the depth of the organization and in a short (48-game) season ... it would be important to get him in,'' Ruff said. ''(He has) ability to help out in a third line role and in a centerman role.''
The Sabres fell three points short of the playoff spot last season despite an aggressive late push and a roster laden with high-priced players.
With the Sabres playing their season opener next Sunday against Phila-delphia, Ruff has only a week to resolve some other roster issues.
There's a logjam with nine defensemen in camp, and there is a decision to be made about whether to keep 2012 fi rst-round draft choice Mikhael Grigorenko to help solve a shortage at center.
''It'll be interesting, we have some different pieces,'' Ruff said.
One of those pieces is T.J. Brennan, a 23-year-old who was a second-round draft choice in 2007. He leads AHL Rochester with 14 goals and 35 points in 36 games, and would need to clear waivers if the Sa-bres want to send him back to the minors.
''You do what you can and control what you can. I think it's a tough choice for them,'' Brennan said. ''I'm sure they'll fi gure some-thing out in the next few days. I just try to get better and make them make the hard decisions.''
The 18-year-old Grigore-nko, who has 29 goals and 50 points in 32 games for Quebec of the Quebec Major junior league, was enthusiastic after partici-pating in his fi rst profes-sional practice.
''I was really excited and a little bit nervous,'' he said. ''I worked real hard and I think I did well.''
The rookie, the only player not given a proper stall in the Sabres' dressing room, remained positive about his creature comforts.
''It's better than staying in Quebec,'' he said.
Ruff also had a good fi rst impression of Grigorenko's fi rst practice.
''You notice his playmaking and passing ability,'' Ruff said. ''He moved around the ice pretty good. He looks big out there. He has that way where he turns and protects the puck and does a nice job. ''He doesn't look like a junior player.''
By John WawrowAP Sports Writer
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) -- After rejoining his Buffalo Sabres teammates on the ice for the fi rst time in some nine months, goalie Ryan Miller had a few lingering frustrations to get off his chest regarding the NHL lockout.
''The best thing to do is acknowledge that it was stupid,'' Miller said Friday, before turning his atten-tion to Sabres fans. ''I appreciate their patience. I know it's a hard situation. I still don't even know the right message because it was just a stupid, useless waste of time.''
Miller, who played a role in negotiations, called himself ''embarrassed'' that it took more than six months of negotiations to reach an agreement. At one point during talks, he gave up on the possibility of there be-ing a season this year.
And he laid the blame on owners, specifi cally sin-gling out Commissioner Gary Bettman, whom he accused of being the reason why the four-month lockout wasn't resolved sooner.
''In my mind, it always had to be January in Gary Bettman's mind,'' Miller said. ''Obviously, he had something in his head and he was going to see how far he could take it. So there's really no going up against Gary, when he has some-thing in his head.''
For someone who hasn't played in a competitive game since April 5, the ever-outspoken Miller seems already in midsea-son form.
''It's exciting to be back. It's the way you that you're supposed to feel,'' he said. ''It's not in the board room, so that's good. It's getting back on the ice, and that's the important part.''
Spending much of his
offseason in southern Cali-fornia, Miller arrived in Buffalo on Thursday, and was on the ice for what's expected to be the players' fi nal informal practice at a suburban arena. Train-ing camp is tentatively set to open Sunday, and a 48-game regular season to start a week later.
A seven-year veteran, Miller is the face of the franchise, and regarded as a team leader. His arrival was welcomed by the Sa-bres, and also by numerous fans. About 300 onlookers - the largest turnout this week - lined the boards to watch the open practice.
Aside from his frustrations regarding labor talks, Miller was in an upbeat mood. Walking out of the locker room with his mask perched above his head exposing a familiar patchy beard - ''It's my lockout beard'' - he then fl ashed a big smile and waved his glove hand before taking the ice.
Before taking any questions from reporters afterward, Miller fi rst wanted to fi nd out what's been happening in Buffalo, and then shook hands with each member of the media.
''There,'' he said. ''We're reintroduced again, eight months later.''
Now it's time to get to work in what will be a shortened season, and for a high-
priced Sabres team that was among the NHL's big-gest busts after missing the playoffs last season.
Buffalo (39-32-11) fi nished ninth in the Eastern Con-ference and was hampered by a rash of injuries, including Miller missing a nine-game stretch because of concussion-like symp-toms. On the bright side, Miller hopes the team can pick up where it left off after closing last season on a 15-5-4 roll.
The challenge for Miller is getting himself ready to carry much of the load dur-ing a tightly packed stretch of games.
''Hockey-wise, I'm in a pretty good spot,'' he said. ''Mentally, I always kind of knew it was going to be a short sprint kind of situa-tion. It's not a surprise for anyone of us.''
Coach Lindy Ruff has already projected that he's targeting Miller to play between 36 and 38 games.
Miller hasn't given any thought to how many games he'll play, but has been accustomed to being the Sabres workhorse.
He's appeared in 59 or more games in each of his past six seasons. That includes 2009-10, when he was the NHL's Vezina Trophy winner after go-ing 41-18-8 in 69 NHL regular-season games,
and six more games at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, where he led the United States to win a silver medal.
''I just want to be that guy, and we'll go by that,'' Miller said. ''I think if I'm playing at a high enough level, I'd like to be in net.''
Unlike some NHLers who spent part of the lockout playing overseas, Miller elected to stay home. He said the insurance premi-ums on his contract proved expensive. He also noted that he wanted to make sure there were no lingering effects from the head injury he sustained last year.
Miller spent much of his time working out in California, where he skated between three and four times a week. He mostly worked out with numerous members of the defending Stanley Cup-champion Los Angeles Kings such as Jarret Stoll, Brad Rich-ardson, Justin Williams and Rob Scuderi. Several other NHLers, including Pittsburgh's Sidney Crosby, spent a few months also working out with them.
''I've been skating pretty consistently since June, but it's not the same as play-ing with your teammates,'' Miller said. ''It's been missing from my life for the past eight months, that's a long time.''
The show of support al-layed whatever fears team president Ted Black had regarding what lingering effect the four-month lock-out might have in turning away Sabres fans.
''Sunday's ticket sales took us by surprise and, frankly, blew us away,'' Black said. ''As of Saturday afternoon, we didn't even know what our fi nal schedule would be. And for the fans to respond on Sunday is really humbling.''
The ticket-sale total was the second-highest for a single day in team history. It trailed
only the number of tickets sold for the 2008 Winter Classic, when Buffalo hosted Pittsburgh at Ralph Wilson Stadium on Jan. 1.
And the tickets the team put on sale Sunday were made available only to current season-ticket and mini-pack ticket holders. Individual game tickets will go on sale to the general public on Tuesday, leading to the expecta-tion that the Sabres will sellout much if not all of their schedule before their home-opener on Sunday against Philadelphia.
The Sabres cap their season tickets at 15,400, leaving about 3,200 tickets available for each game. The team has a 3,000-person wait-ing list, and estimates it lost about 80 season-ticket hold-ers since last summer.
''I think it's one of the many affi rmations that you continue to get that Buf-falo is one of the premier hockey markets in North America, if not the world,'' Black said. ''Hockey runs so deep here at all levels, men, women, grandparents, people who have grown up with the game. It's just part
of everyone's DNA.''
Many fans in Buffalo grumbled through the la-bor dispute, blaming both the NHL and players in comments made on local sports talk shows and in let-ters to the editor. And yet, their passion for the Sabres was evident last week, when hundreds turned out at a suburban arena to watch Buffalo players hold informal workouts.
Brosius credited the con-tinued support on Sabres owner Terry Pegula, who purchased the team two years ago. Pegula has
spent freely in an attempt to build a winner, and has also addressed fan concerns by making numerous im-provements at the arena.
''It seems like he cares,'' Brosius said. ''He cares about us. He cares about the city. He seems like one of us.''
The NHL's return and a packed arena should also provide a boost to numer-ous downtown businesses, particularly bars and restaurants, which rely on the Sabres to draw people downtown.
Josh Ketry, operations
manager at the Pearl Street Grill and Brewery, is planning to hire addi-tional staff, and added that current employees should expect to get an additional 10 hours of work per week.
''It's absolutely exciting to have them back,'' Ketry said, noting his establish-ment is busy during home games, and also draws fans to watch the Sabres play on the road. ''I was happy for everyone, not just us, especially in the cold win-ter months when it's kind of the toughest to bring people down here.''

After retiring from South-western in 2002, he was offered the position of head wrestling coach at Jame-stown Community College and he remained in the job until 2007. During his tenure at JCC, 19 wres-tlers earned a trip to the NJCAA National Tourna-ment. He also was selected as the NJCAA Region III Coach of the Year in 2003 and in 2004, was selected
by NJCAA Wrestling as the National Man of the Year. After leaving the head coaching position at JCC, he continued to serve as the team's assistant coach through 2010.
Thurnau was inducted into the Western New York Wrestling Coaches Hall of Fame in 2010 and the fol-lowing year he was hon-ored again with induction into the Upstate New York
Chapter of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame.
Jeffrey Smith, a former Trojan wrestler from 1980 to 1984, summed up what Thurnau meant to those who wrestled under his di-rection: "To say that Coach Thurnau had a profound effect on my life and the lives of my teammates is an understatement. His years of teaching, mentoring and coaching were a labor of
love. He treated us like we
were his sons and like a father's love, it was undying and unyielding. He taught us to do what is hard and achieve what is great, to respect everyone and fear nobody, and each one of us is a better person today because of the lessons we learned from him."
Joining Thurnau as inductees in the Class of 2013 will be
Jim Young, Cal Cederquist, Dan Palmer, Ron Blackmer, and the late Jim Foti.
Two-time Olympic gold medalist Bruce Baumgart-ner, regarded as the greatest heavyweight freestyle wres-tler in American history, will be the guest speaker.
The CSHOF induction banquet on February 18 will begin with a hospital-ity session at 5:00 p.m. with
dinner at 6:30.
Tickets may be purchased at Matt’s News on Third Street in Dunkirk, Fredo-nia Food Mart on Temple Street in Fredonia and Jamestown Cycle Shop on Harrison Street in Jame-stown. Tickets can also be ordered by phoning Chip Johnson at 485-6991. The price per ticket is $50. CSHOF members receive a $5 discount.
