New York City Ballet Artists to Perform in CRYB’s Nutcracker
Independently Owned Businesses Stress Personalized Customer Service
By DANIEL MEYERStar Contributing Writer
With the corporate consumer creations known as “Black Friday” and “Cyber Monday” now well in the rearview mir-ror, locally owned and operated businesses based in Chautauqua County are gearing up for what they hope is an increase in sales this holiday season.With momentum building off of what most local businesses called a successful “Small Busi-ness Saturday” the last weekend of November, owners of various “mom and pop shops” through-out the region believe the special treatment they provide their customers can help attract more shoppers this month.Based on consumer survey re-search commissioned by Ameri-can Express last year, for every $100 spent in independently owned stores, $68 is returned to the community through taxes, payroll and other expenditures. In comparison, for every $100 spent in a national chain store, only $43 is returned to the com-munity, while any online shop-ping results in no money being
returned to the community.By shopping small and spending your money locally, independent-ly owned and operated businesses in Chautauqua County and the surrounding communities can
help contribute to the ongoing ef-fort nationwide to support small businesses as more and more consumers recognize that these entrepreneurs are the heart and soul of our economy.
“Small businesses are still alive and kicking,” says Ann Mulkin, who along with her husband, Bruce, own Th e Paper Factory in

Th e Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation is making gift -giving easy this year. Since 1997, the foun-dation has off ered a way to both honor an individual by making a gift in their name or memory, while at the same time, helping the community. Since many of the funds are endowments, the monies stay intact, with only the interest generated from the fund being used.“It truly is the gift that keeps giving,” says Ida Klahn, Community Rela-tions and Development Coordinator for NCCF. Individuals and families in the past have chosen this alternative with success. One local family created a new fund in their father and grandfather’s honor. Th e patriarch was touched to have a permanent fund
established in his name to benefi t the community he loves. Another family pools the money they would nor-mally spend on gift s to each other and dedicates it to a fund each year.With a variety funds for multiple purposes, gift -givers can decide based on the recipient’s interest, how their donation will be used. For example, there are gifs that help support youth, music, fi ne arts, medical research local churches, scholarships animal wel-fare, literacy, and commu-nity development within Northern Chautauqua County. Th ere are 324 funds in total including those called designated funds to benefi t area not- for- profi t agen-cies, or community ben-efi t funds, which benefi t the community-at-large through NCCF’s grant
making programs.“Th e nice thing about this is when the money comes here, it makes our pool stronger so that we can give out more grants to help more organizations,” says Klahn. She adds, “there are not-for-profi ts who have experienced cuts in funding and depend on grants from us and other organizations to keep them going.”
Gift s can be made in any amount and the recipient(s) are mailed a personalized, festive holiday card an-nouncing the gift . To access the 2012 catalog of giving, visit the NCCF website, www.nccfoundation.org. For more information, or to receive a hard copy of the catalog, contact Ida Klahn at 366-4892 or [email protected] e NCCF was incorporat-
ed in 1986 as a tax-exempt charitable organization. Since its establishment, the NCCF has distributed more than $8.7 million in the community through its various grant programs. It is an organization inherent-ly committed to enriching the northern Chautauqua community and encourag-ing local philanthropy.

By Don GorkaHose Co. 2, Dunkirk Fire Department
In Chautauqua County and across the United States, vol-unteer fire departments need your help. In Chautauqua County alone, the volunteer firefighters are dwindling in all cities, towns and villages.You may ask yourself, why should I become a volunteer firefighter, what is in it for me? The benefits of being a volunteer firefighter are many. There is the technical training and real life skills you’ll receive. Also, there is the immense sense of pride and satisfaction that comes from giving back to your community.You will learn about fire safety and also that no two emergencies are the same. And there is the camaraderie, the feeling of family and the lasting relationships you will build belonging to a team that shares one overriding goal: to be of service to oth-ers in their time of need. Individuals become vol-unteer firefighters not only because they help people in need, but also because it is also satisfying to teach others how to do their job and share experiences. Not only does being a volun-teer firefighter give you the opportunity to serve your community in an exciting and fulfilling way, there are also a variety of incentives available from the govern-ment as well as your local fire company to join.Becoming a volunteer fire-fighter takes training and is time consuming. Rigor-ous classroom and on-site training is required. It will be tough if you work or go to school. But if you are dedi-cated, you can do it. Those who become firefight-ers spend time training so that they can respond to any number of emergency situ-ations such as fires, emer-gency medical incidents, acts of terrorism, natural disasters, hazardous material spills, water rescues and any other type of emergencies. Availability and commitment without pay is part of the life of a volunteer firefighter – which is a dangerous busi-ness and not just anyone is allowed on the scene of a fire or medical emergency.According to the National Fire Protection Association, 71% of firefighters in the United States are volunteers. The firemen’s association of the state of New York (FASNY) provides informa-tion, education and training for volunteer firefighters and emergency medical services locally and across the state. It is a fact that the number of volunteer firefighters is declining, and the average age of people involved in this activity is increasing. This combination means that more opportunities will be open for people interested in firefighting work. Firefighting is not solely a male domain anymore. Women also can become vol-unteer firefighters. There are many females in the volun-teer firefighting departments across the United States. Anyone, male or female, who would like to help his or her community, should stop by their local fire station to find out more information.The City of Dunkirk at one time had a large number of volunteer firemen. Today, there are paid firefighters in the city and less than 20 volunteer firemen who actu-ally fight fires and respond
to medical emergencies. The City of Dunkirk and all towns and villages of Chau-tauqua County need men and women to join their ranks desperately. Some volunteer fire depart-
ments may require a back-ground check and proof of citizenship before an applica-tion is complete. Visit with a volunteer firefighter to learn more about the job you will be doing. The main objec-tives are and have always
been, the extinguishment of fire, protection of life and property, and to promote the social fellowship between its members.Every volunteer fire depart-ment in Chautauqua County needs more dedicated fire fighters and medical re-sponders than they have now. The volunteer fire com-panies cannot do their job without an adequate number of volunteers. New volun-teers are needed today to fill the empty boots, coats and helmets of the fire service.So if you love and enjoy your community that you live in and want to serve in a capac-ity that will really help…join a volunteer fire department near you today.

StatepointEven when times are tough, many Americans budget a portion of their assets to go to charity. According to Giving USA, a research institute that publishes data and trends on charitable giving, Americans contrib-uted more than $298.42 billion to charities in 2011.While your heart may guide you to a particular charity, don’t just hand over your hard-earned money without getting some infor-mation. Th ough all chari-ties purport to be doing good work, some organiza-tions have less than stellar track records. Just as you would scrutinize a fi nancial investment, so should you examine a charity to ensure your money makes the big-gest impact possible.Fortunately, there are resources out there that can help. For example, the BBB Wise Giving Alliance, established by the Better Business Bureau, connects donors to charities they can trust. Without judging the worthiness of a char-ity’s mission, BBB Wise Giving Alliance applies 20 Standards that ensure that a charity is aboveboard in
everything it does, from money-management, to public transparency, to in-teractions with its board.Your money will be bet-ter used if you donate to a charity that is well run and meets these standards.So the next time you donate, fi rst consider ac-cessing a free report of the charity of your choice at www.give.org. And if your charity is not listed, you can request a review.One sector, in particular, that is always in need of charitable support is educa-tion. Investing in education
is investing in the future of the local, national and global communities.Here are some great examples of educational organizations that meet the standards of BBB and could use your help.• DonorsChoose.org: Th is online charity makes it easy for donors to help students in need. Public school teachers post classroom project requests ranging from basic school supplies to musical instruments. Donors can choose proj-ects based on criteria like location, subject, cost, or poverty level.
• Girls Inc.: Girls Inc. off ers programs that help girls navigate gender, economic and social barriers, equip-ping them to achieve aca-demic success, lead healthy, physically active lives, man-age money, and discover an interest in historically male-dominated fi elds like technology, engineering and math. Th ey award mul-tiple college scholarships annually.• National Center for Learning Disabilities (NCLD): NCLD advocates success for students with learning disabilities by connecting parents and educators with resources and tools.You can get a free copy of an evaluative listing of edu-cational and other national charities by sending your name and address to Wise Giving Guide, 3033 Wilson Blvd, Suite 600, Arlington, VA, 22201 or email [email protected] the cost of education on the rise, the need to off er fi nancial support to educational institutions is increasingly important. But remember, if you’re going to give, give wisely.

Dear Pastor, it seems the holidays bring out the worst in family get-togeth-ers. What can I do?You’re not alone. It seems that all the exposure to family can bring up old hurts and expectations. While holidays are meant to be a joyous time of the year, they can be dreadful if the ones we love aren’t getting along. It’s my prayer that what I share from God’s Word will be a help to you.While I’m not sure if your
family members are born-again, as a Christian you know that arguing and being in disagreements aren’t very Christ-like. Your situation may seem trying, but I have some good news for you. You have an oppor-tunity to use this situation to bring blessings to you and your family whenever they come together. Jesus tells us in Matthew 5:9, “Blessed are the peacemak-ers: for they shall be called the children of God.” When we understand how to be a peacemaker, God can give
us the grace to share His love with others and help quiet down heated situa-tions. So what can you do to promote peace at your fam-ily gatherings? First of all, pray before your family gets together! Th e reason many gatherings get out of hand is that we forget to pray and ask God’s grace and peace over the event. Th e more you can pray before they come together, the better. Ask God to soft en their hearts, help them get along, and give you the wisdom
to be a peacemaker. Never underestimate what prayer will do! Prayer allows God to do things that we couldn’t do on our own.It’s also important for you to make up your mind to walk in love even if no one else does. Th is is called be-ing a witness and a shining light for God (Matthew 5:14). Don’t give into op-portunities to be off ended. We can be tempted to say something negative if provoked. If we give in, it will allow strife to govern our life. Th e Bible tells us to
overcome evil with good (Romans 12:21) and bless those who use abusive language towards us (Matthew 5:44).So don’t be discour-aged. While maintain-ing love and gentleness when confronted with argumentative family members can be chal-lenging, God promises that He can eff ectively diff use negativity and strife. Doing it God’s way will surely bring the true holiday peace into your life and home!
As Jesus was giving us a model for prayer, He said something that few have seriously considered. He said in Matthew 6:10, “(pray for) Your Kingdom come, YOUR WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN.” Th is sounds familiar to our ears yet how seldom do our lives refl ect this statement in reality. Th e Lord is telling us here to seek aft er and contend for God’s perfect will to be carried out just as it is in His actual dwelling place. Jesus is saying that Earth should be a carbon copy of what is occurring
around God’s throne. God’s perfect will is carried out to completion in Heaven. Th ere His will and desires automatically come to pass. Here on Earth His will DOES NOT automatically happen. If it automatically happened then there would be no need for us to pray for it like Th e Lord instruct-ed. Here on Earth believers are given the responsibil-ity to grab a hold of God’s promises and live like God lives. (2 Peter 1:4)Many Christians are con-fused these days about what exactly is the will of God. Th e answer to that question
is simple: If it does not exist in Heaven then it is not the will of God for His family, the Church, or all believers on Earth. For example, is there sickness and disease in Heaven? No. Th en it is not the will of the Father to make anyone sick. Is there poverty and lack in Heav-en? No. God wants His children’s needs to be met. Is anyone full of depression and anxiety in Heaven? No. Th e Bible says that in His presence is the fullness of joy. (Psalm 16:11) Th at is God’s will for His people. I have been criticized for believing that God wants
only good things for His family. Aft er all Matthew 7:11 says, “If you then be-ing evil know how to give good gift s to your children, HOW MUCH MORE shall your Father in Heaven give good things to those that ask Him?” You could say it this way: Good things are given to those that contend for them.Many believers never experience the fullness of God’s promises because they are not surrendering to the God life. Th e Chris-tian Church as a whole has decided to gauge God’s will by what’s going on in
the lives of the Christians around them. You would be foolish to discern God’s will and purposes by what you see in someone else’s circumstances. We walk by faith not by sight. (2 Corinthians 5:7) You do not distinguish God’s will by what is going on in their lives; you confront life’s circumstances with what He promised in His Word! Once you see a promise then go aft er it, seek it, and do not be satisfi ed until your life matches the events around His throne! Once we ask, we should act as if it just showed up!

Th roughout the year, Love in the Name of Christ part-ners with local churches to fulfi ll needs that would oth-erwise go unmet in South-ern Chautauqua County. Making Christmas a reality
for those same families has also been part of its mission for the last three years.When families contact Love Inc, they are screened to ensure that they meet the criteria of need and income and they are not being helped in the similar
ways by other organiza-tions. Executive Director Chris Kibbe says that the same intake is required for those seeking help to make Christmas a reality for their families.Aft er a need has been veri-fi ed, Kibbe says “we get a list of what they would like, like a wish list and then connect them to a sponsor.” Kibbe says Love Inc sends out emails to churches, giving members the oppor-tunity to make Christmas a reality for a family. Some-times, Kibbe says, the giver has special requests, for instance, children under ten be the recipients, at other times, an entire family is sponsored. “We give them their wish list and they go shopping for them. Th ey have the option of wrapping and delivering them, which is personally what we prefer, because that connects them directly to the person and creates another opportunity for them to be the “hands and feet of Christ,” as Christians are commanded. Sponsors can buy some or all items on the list.“Th ese are truly people who would truly not have a Christmas. We do a fi nancial sheet, looking at their expenses versus their income. When you look at that, they are barely making
ends meet, so you know for a fact there would not be a Christmas if we had not stepped in.”Kibbe says she oft en gets thank you notes from re-cipients. Sometimes when they come to pick up their gift s, they are as Kibbe describes, “overwhelmed.” “People have just hugged me and said, ‘you have no idea, we would not have had a Christmas if it wasn’t for you.’ ”Kids are also getting some-thing that they want. “It’s not just toys, but specifi c items they have asked for- maybe they like Batman, or Spiderman or legos. We put that on the list, and tell the sponsors, this is their wish list, you don’t have to get everything, it’s at your discretion. Take your list and have fun. “As for the givers, Kibbe says, “Th ese are people who get it. Th ey step up be-cause they know there are less fortunately people out there who need help and it’s not even that they’re wealthy. I see people who are struggling who still want to give.” She says it is also a teachable lesson in the household, help-ing parents teach children that there are less fortunate families in the community that they help.Persons interested in spon-
soring a family this Christ-mas, should call Kibbe at 338-9828. She asks that givers be people of faith. “Th ey need to be Christians to sponsor a family, because that’s who we are. Our core value is Christian. Every-thing we think, say and do
is in the name of Christ. Our goal is to transform lives.”Love Inc. is located in the Gateway Center, 31 Water Street in Jamestown.
Fredonia. “We off er a wide variety of unique products and feature more personal-ized items that you can’t necessarily fi nd in the big-ger stores. For some people, you can’t put a price on that because you are off ering to them products they desire
and the convenience of purchasing them from a unique business located nearby.”Th e entrepreneurs and families who run these businesses on a day-to-day basis off er what the chains and e-commerce compa-nies don’t, namely one-of-a-kind gift s presented to each customer with top-notch customer service. Shopping at a small business means
making an eff ort to support your neighborhood and the people who live nearby as opposed to big corpo-rations based someplace else and run by people you likely have never met.“We’ve had more and more people come in recently who have told us they are making a concentrated eff ort to shop 100 percent local this holiday season,” said Kristie Brown, the
owner of Home Chic in Mayville, an upscale home décor business that recently celebrated its fi ft h anni-versary. “A lot of it is all about education and people knowing how important it is to take on the awesome responsibility of shopping local.”When you shop at a small business, there is a very good chance that you will be dealing face-to-face with the owner or one of their family members. Most of these hard working folks and their employees will do everything that is humanely possible to keep you satis-fi ed, especially because their livelihoods depend on repeat business.“We truly care and I say that from experience and knowing that most of the big box outlets are all about volume and making the sale,” said Leslie Johnson, who along with her hus-band, Steve, own Johnson Pharmacy in Mayville, which recently celebrated its 10th anniversary. “We obviously want to make the sale, but we also care greatly about establishing a relationship with each one of our customers.”Th e fact that most small businesses are oft en owned by people who have a vested interest in your com-munity and the quality of life it provides also attracts shoppers, since small busi-ness owners have proven in the past to be generous supporters of local organi-zations, civic groups and community activities.“We recognize the impor-tance of playing our part and don’t take that lightly,” said Brown. “We love what we do, we love where we are and we want to make a dif-ference in our community because we care.”For more information about “shop local” pro-grams being embraced throughout the country, visit http://www.the350p-roject.net/

Another holiday season. Carefully crafted decora-tions, lovingly prepared meals, snuggling in front of the fireplace, crunch-ing through fresh snow, shared memories with fam-ily. If this describes your holidays, read no further. Instead share your blessings with others! However, if instead, you anticipate long shopping lines, financial stress of extra purchases, more commitments than can fit in a week, conflict with family, and pressure between work and family commitments, read on.While the holiday season brings joy, it can also bring stress and lead to what many term the “holiday blues”. The very same activi-ties that bring joy for many can be the very things that bring about stress, sadness, and resentment for others. Add to this the sorrows of memories from past losses, and this season can quickly become overwhelming.While there is no quick fix, practicing mindfulness can assist with this season’s hustle and bustle. Try the
following tips to pay atten-tion without judgment:Recognize and AllowAlthough the temptation during time of high stress is to ignore, resist, and dis-tract from discomfort, try instead to focus on and pay attention to each activity, thought, and feeling. Ask your self what beliefs you are carrying about holidays. Accept the fact that your body carries stress. You can’t treat what you don’t acknowledge. Break it DownIt’s easy to feel over-whelmed with thoughts of deadlines and competing invitations. Incorporating a mindful holiday includes paying attention to the cur-rent moment, and allowing the rest to fade away. Rather than worrying about serv-ing the perfect dinner for 20, instead focus on simply the next step – i.e.: deciding on a menu, writing a shop-ping list. Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Remember, great expectations lead to great disappointments. Cultivate an Attitude of GratitudeFind things that you are grateful for in the present moment. If you have to work on a holiday, be grate-ful you are able to share the
day with co-workers, or that you are employed in a difficult economy. If you are disconnected with your family, be grateful for any “family of choice”. If you are at a obligatory dinner or function, be grateful for the delicious food. Pay Attention to the Small StuffNo matter what you have planned (or don’t) during this holiday season, take a few minutes to notice what’s around you. Drive home a different way and notice the holiday lights. Watch the smiles on children’s faces as they walk through the local
mall and see all the decora-tions. During the boring or chaotic or uncomfortable work/family gathering, take small bites of food and pay attention to the taste. Make a cup of hot cocoa and sip it outside, looking at the stars or snow.Take a few minutes right now and notice what you can see, hear, and touch. When your mind drifts to what “should” or “could” be, gently bring it back to the present. Whatever this holiday season brings, add to it a young child’s natural sense of curiosity.

StatePointIf you’ve sported the same hairstyle since telephones came with cords, this might be the year to make a change. Keep in mind, hair makeovers don’t have to be drastic to look great.There’s no need to shed mas-sive amounts of length. In-stead, the refresh can be subtle and chic.Here are four ways to start your new year with the perfect hairstyle:• Go Big: After years of head-hugging, sleek strands, bigger now is better. “Think full, lush,
Victoria’s Secret hair,” says Matrix Artistic Director, Nick Stenson. A layered cut can provide the perfect foundation for body, as shorter pieces push the lengths up and out.Another quick way to build ex-tra boost? Blow dry your hair with a large, round brush, then set it on jumbo Velcro rollers and let it cool. Why not do what many celeb-rities do before hitting the red carpet? “Most of the women in Hollywood have extensions that add body and length,” says Stenson. “There are lots of fun
temporary extensions you can clip-in for a special night out, or even wear every day.”• Go Bang: Whether it’s a dra-matic side-sweep; a ’60s-in-spired, brow-grazing shape or an airy, pixie fringe, bangs can update a hairstyle in no time. “There’s a flattering fringe for every face shape and personal style,” says Matrix Artistic Director, Ammon Carver. “For example, long, wispy, angled bangs are a classic and can soften a round or square face. A blunt, long, solid fringe gives off a bohemian vibe and also
covers a long forehead and bal-ances a pointed chin.” Work with your hairstylist to assess your face and create a custom fringe that suits you perfectly.• Go Bold: When you’re think-ing about color this year, don’t stop at blonde or brunette. To-day’s hair hues run the gamut from dusty pastels like lilac, silver and pink, to bold shades of amethyst, coral or mulberry.“Depending on your personal style, you can opt for an all-over hue transformation or simply add a bright panel or
streak for an unexpected pop of color,” says Stenson.• Go Brilliant: Want to know the secret to looking younger? Forget Botox -- it’s all about shiny, gleaming hair. Dull, dry strands add years to your look, so investigate shine-boosting strategies in the new year.“Start by selecting the right conditioner,” suggests Carver. “Your stylist can assess wheth-er you need moisture, protein or a combination of both and help you select a formula for your hair type, whether it’s fine or thick and coarse.”
A glossing hair color treatment will also boost the shine factor. It’s like topcoat for your hair. And don’t forget the finishing touch -- lightweight styling oil, applied to damp hair before drying and styling. “I love Bio-lage Exquisite Oil,” says Carver “It contains Moringa Oil and delivers weightless shine.”More 2013 hairstyle trends and suggestions are available at www.matrix.com.Let a new year mean a new you and a new ‘do.

A pizza shop, like a post offi ce, can be found in almost every town. What designates the new pizza shop, “Mozzarella Mad-ness,” in Sherman from many other commonplace pizza shops is that they also serve breakfast. “It just seemed like a logical thing for me to do,” said Denise Woods, the owner-manager of Mozzarella Madness, “I got the kitchen anyway.” Implied in her reasoning may well be that a pancake is geometrically similar to a pizza; it’s round and one can put toppings on it.Th e logic to expand the already successful pizza business to include a Satur-day and Sunday breakfast comes from a sound back-ground in the restaurant industry. Denise has had plenty of experience in the food business—as a restau-rant manager, as a buff et director, and as a retail grocery supervisor. “And,” she adds with defi nitive confi dence, “I was at Pizza Hut for nine years.” Th en, in argument to her pizza proprietorship, “I think people like mine better.”Many in the town of Sherman would agree, as evidenced by the brisk traf-fi c throughout the day and
in particular at lunchtime. Mozzarella Madness off ers a special bargain lunch Monday through Friday. For $5 there is a choice of personal pizzas, sand-wiches, chips, and a soda. Of course, items other than that of the luncheon specials can be ordered from the regular menu: Th e bistro burger, with pickles and pepper jack cheese. Or, the bronco burger, a ham-burger with barbecue sauce and onion rings. “I’ve got ‘Th e Pittsbur-gher,’” Denise announced. Th e item is comparable to the celebrated primanti sandwich of that city: meat, coleslaw, and French-fries all beneath one bun. “I wanted something diff er-ent,” Woods said, referring to the other restaurants in Sherman, “but I try to stay out of competition with those across the street.” In addition, and not surprisingly, Mozzarella Madness suggests patrons order a pizza of any size with as expected, mozza-rella cheese. Th e restaurant off ers the customary top-pings: sausages, peppers, olives, etc. Th e pizza shop also has “fl at-bread” thin crust pizza dough. Th ere is the “macaroni-and cheese pizza.” Yes, the ubiquitous delight of adolescent snack-ing—macaroni noodles,
cheese sauce—baked on top of round pizza dough. “Kids love it,” Denise Woods declared. Kids, and numerous other
diners also love the thirty-foot mural of large, toothy sharks swimming hungrily as depicted on a painted mural on one full side of the restaurant wall. Some,
as if ready to chomp widely into sausage and tomatoes, are leering life-size like those seen through the glass aquarium window at sea-world zoo. Th e shark scene, as told by Denise, was painted by students from the Sher-man area school. Th ey even included pepperoni-shaped bubbles coming from the ravenous sharks. Why sharks? Denise Woods explained, “Th e pizza shop was called ‘White Shark Pizza’ before I took it over.”Across from that wall, another hand-painted mural portrays a countri-
fi ed farmhouse scene. In that scene, Amish sawyers fall trees, Amish children run behind horse-drawn farm equipment, cows stand ready for milking, and Amish women serve meals on picnic tables. At one table, children gather around for pizza, the box opened for slice snatching. Anne Weaver, a Sherman area Amish folk-artist whose popular work is widely accepted for its de-tailed, down-to-earth style, painted the mural. “Th e Amish are one of my main customers. I didn’t think they liked pizza and wings like they do,” Woods said, referring perhaps indirectly to the large pastoral mural on the wall. Does Mozzarella Madness deliver? “Yes, we oft en take orders out to Amish families.” “Friday is fi sh fry,” Denise said proudly. “We get fresh fi sh every Friday.”“And fresh oranges on weekends,” she added, expanding on her new Saturday-Sunday breakfast hours. “When the customer orders juice, I fresh squeeze the oranges right then,” Denise said, illustrating the process with a downward press motion. Th e restau-rant serves homemade biscuits, choice of meats, and pancakes. “Real maple syrup, made right here in Sherman,” she emphasized. Th e breakfast menu in-cludes “Th e Breakfast Bowl”. It is a full course of breakfast foods gener-ously served, “heaped,” as Denise Woods describes it, inside in a deep bowl made of bread, fi lled with three eggs, sausage, ham, bacon, sausage-gravy, peppers, and topped with a mound of melted cheese. “Th at’ll keep you going all day,” Denise’s mother, and part-time wait-ress promised as she placed the bowl at a table. Whether in a bowl, or fl at on a round dough, or placed between buns, to get food at Mozzarella Madness would not be foolish. Th e pizza restaurant is lo-cated at 111 W. Main Street and is open seven days a week until 9 p.m. Reserva-tions, for a seat next to a large shark, can be made by calling 716- 761-6131.

Th e 1891 Fredonia Op-era House continues the 2012-13 season of Live at the Met high defi nition opera broadcasts from the Metropolitan Opera with Giuseppe Verdi’s classic drama of political intrigue and thwarted romance, Un Ballo in Maschera, on Sat., Dec. 8, at 1 p.m.
“To commemorate the 200th anniversary of the birth of Verdi, this year’s Met season features sev-eral of the master com-poser’s operas,” says Opera House Executive Director Rick Davis. “Th is week’s off ering, Un Ballo in Maschera, is a unique new Met production staged by acclaimed opera director David Alden, with a charis-matic cast of stars.”
Led by Met Principal Conductor Fabio Luisi, Un Ballo in Maschera features some of the Met’s leading Verdi stars in the central roles of the opera’s love tri-angle: Marcelo Álvarez as the ill-fated King Gustavo III; Dmitri Hvorostovsky as his best friend and eventual rival, Count Anckarström; and Sondra Radvanovsky as Amelia, Anckarström’s wife and the object of the king’s secret passion. Kathleen Kim sings the coloratura role of Oscar, Gustavo’s page, and Stepha-nie Blythe is Mme. Ulrica Arvidsson, a fortune-teller with ominous news for the king. Superstar soprano Deborah Voigt hosts the transmission and conducts backstage interviews with the stars. Th e Associated Press calls the production “an intriguing, fresh look at one of the essential works of the repertory.” Th e production lasts three hours, 24 minutes, notes Davis. “Th ere are two intermissions,” he adds, “during which the Opera House will have snacks and beverages available for purchase in the trustee room on the second fl oor of Village Hall. (No food or beverage is allowed inside the theatre.)”Live at the Met opera
broadcasts are made possible by Dr. James M. and Marcia Merrins, who funded the purchase of the satellite transmission and projection equipment used in the series. Additional support comes from Bob and Shirley Coon, Bob and Susan Dilks, Steve and Mary Rees and DFT Com-munications.Tickets to Un Ballo in Maschera are $20 ($18 for Opera House and Met members, $15 for stu-dents) and are available in advance by calling or visiting the Box Offi ce at 716-679-1891 Tuesday – Friday, 1-5 p.m. Th ey also may be purchased online anytime at www.fredopera.org. Th e Opera House also is off ering a new fl exible opera subscription consist-ing of nine tickets that can
be used however the patron wants – one at a time to nine diff erent operas, all at once for nine people, or anything in between. Th e fl exible opera subscription is $161. Chautauqua County’s only performing arts center pre-
senting its own program-ming year-round, the 1891 Fredonia Opera House is a member-supported not-for-profi t organization located in Village Hall in down-town Fredonia. For a com-plete schedule of events, visit www.fredopera.org.

Jamestown’s Trinity Guitars has teamed up with the radio station and Martin Guitars to present monthly live music radio broadcasts unplugged and hosted by Chautauqua County’s Bill Ward.Th e shows will presented on select Tuesdays at 7:00 p.m. from November to May at Trinity Guitars, 800 West Th ird Street in Jamestown. Each show will feature the live perfor-mances of two independent artists from the North-eastern US. It will then be aired the following Sunday as that week’s IOBY show. Th e events are free to the public, but reservations for each event must be secured through Trinity Guitars before admission.Rapidly gaining popular-ity, IOBY Live has caught the attention of legendary guitar company Martin Guitars, who has become a supporter of the program through Trinity Guitars. Martin and Trinity have provided a new Martin guitar to be played by one of the guest artists on each show. At the end of the season, that guitar will be donated to the Infi nity Per-forming Arts Program. Bumpy Peterson is a Chautauqua County icon, having performed since the 60’s with “Bumpy and the Jaguars,” recording and playing with “Bumpy and Sawmill Run,” and leav-ing an indelible mark on the Northeastern Country music scene. Bill Ward and Amanda Barton, each stag-
ing a strong musical career on their own, have forged a powerhouse duo. Strong songwriting, harmonies, and instrumental prowess mark every performance. “Th e fi rst show was an overwhelming success,” said Ward, “Th is one will be pretty incredible; Bumpy is Western NY royalty, and folks will get a chance to hear some of Amanda’s newest stuff . We’re pretty pumped.”Infi nity Visual and Per-forming Arts, Inc. is a multifaceted, innovative music and arts education
program located in Jame-stown, NY. Th e Infi nity concept was developed as an opportunity for aspir-ing young musicians to develop and enhance their creative talents and per-formance skills under the supervision and guidance of local, professional musi-cians and educators. Trinity Guitars owner Jim Holler emphasized the importance of Infi nity. “Without that organiza-tion, the arts would not be in the place it is here right now. We’re very pleased that Martin is helping to
spotlight independent mu-sic and this program.” Th ere are a very limited number of seats available so reservations are required and the audience must be seated by 6:30 for the 7:00 pm show.Th is month’s IOBY Live will be broadcast on 106.9 at 6 pm on Sunday, De-cember 16 in the regular In Our Back Yard time slot.

Members of the Cassadaga Branch Library Association met recently at the home of Kathy George for their monthly meeting, and the annual cookie exchange. Each member brought two dozen of homemade cook-ies, and exchanged them with other members. Reci-pes were also discussed. Member Susan W. Sipos is working on the new Library Cookbook which should be ready for sale in the spring. Th e cookbook will include the original library cookbook from 1950, a historical background of the library, recipes from the 2003 cookbook, and new recipes. Chairman Lois Franz opened the meeting with a welcome to all, and secretary Trudy Coulcher read the minutes of the previous meeting. Trea-surer Kathi Runkle gave the fi nancial report, and
reported on the success of the recent grocery raffl e to help with library expenses. Photographs of the group were taken by member John Sipos, who serves as the Cassadaga Village His-torian. Sipos had on display, photographs of the group dating back 10 years. Th e library association was formed in 1938 as a singing group. In those early years, the group sang and entertained at many events, and as World War II began, public appearances were stopped. Th e group continued their name, Th e Ladies Chorus, and con-tinued to do community service working with the Red Cross, and sponsoring a recreational program for the children of the elemen-tary school. In 1946, the group decided to sponsor a library, and began gather-ing used books and storing them. When the library room was ready at the ele-
mentary school, books were carried in baskets to the New Library. Th ere have been several moves of the library and a new building was constructed in 1993. It is called the Cassadaga Branch Library, a branch of the Mary E. Seymour Memorial Free Library of Stockton. Th e Cassadaga building has been closed for a while now, and currently renovations are being done to get the library to open by midyear. A generous donation was received from Margaret Sawkins to help with renovations. Th rough the years, and with the ef-forts of many people, the library has seen growth, and kept up with an ever changing world. Th e Library group will be taking a break in Decem-ber, and will hold its next meeting on Monday aft er-noon Jan. 28th at 3 p.m. New members are always welcome.

The Chautauqua County Humane Society (CCHS) is seeking help to permanent-ly re–home the shelter’s Cat Colony residents before phase one remodeling starts in January 2013. The goal is to spare the cats the extra stress of the construction process by finding them homes prior to beginning demolition. The Cat Colony section of the Strunk Road shelter in Jamestown will be revamped as a result of a successful capital campaign conducted last spring and summer that raised $25,000 to cover the costs. The new cat area will allow for an
improved quality of life and better hygiene methods that ultimately reduce behav-ioral issues and increase adoptability.
CCHS is introducing the “Buddy System” adoption promotion effective im-mediately. The “Buddy System” allows the basic adoption fee for one Colo-ny Cat to be reduced to $60. If someone is willing to adopt a second colony cat or bring a friend that also wants to adopt a cat, the additional adoption fee will be $20 to equal $80 total for both cats. The shelter will be continuing this adoption promotion until the colony
room is empty. All cats for this promotion will have been altered, vaccinated, and have a microchip. All adopters must meet stan-dard CCHS adoption crite-ria. For more information call 665-2209 option 0.

Recalling the history of a hugely successful retail business in equine supplies, riding gear and gift s, Trish Campese of Stagecoach West in Irving refl ects, “someone wanted to open a boot boutique and my Mom thought it would be unique. We should prob-ably have thanked them.” Starting out as Chautau-qua Junction in 1979, the location was fi rst the site of what Campese estimates to have been 15 separate “mini-shops” or businesses, including an antique shop owned by her grandfa-ther. One of the retailers dropped plans for a boot boutique and Western attire store, but Trish’s parents, Jack and Mary Jo Peacock ran with the idea. “My mom thought it would be fun, so that’s how they got started.” As popular culture would have it, the movie, “Urban Cowboy” was released which, ac-cording to Campese, would ultimately lead to a huge diff erence in the success of the business.“We really didn’t get into the horse part of the busi-ness until 1981-82, when (my parents) bought me a horse. Th ere was really no place to buy horse equip-ment, and someone told my dad he should look into it, and that’s how it’s grown.”Th e store started out with belts, buckles hats and boots, saddles would come later. Over time, the separate store fronts disappeared, replaced by the current 17,000 square foot building, which Campese estimates with confi dence “is the big-gest horse equipment store east of the Mississippi.” “We will get someone who walks in and says, “oh my gosh, I never realized how big this store was and how much you have.”Th e Peacocks have been
involved in the horse busi-ness for years, (Trish riding since age 9), and host horse shows in the arena behind Stagecoach West during the summer. As well as grow-ing one of the largest tack shops in the east, their love of horses has taken them all over the country- including Tennessee and the south-west to ride. Th e pair has also participated in events such as team penning, and the increasingly popular mounted shooting. Campese says her dad also worked with homeown-ers in the development of the Chautauqua County Equestrian Trail System and brought bull riding to Chautauqua County Fair. Her parents have supported 4-H throughout the years. He is also a member of the Chautauqua County Mounted Patrol.Th eir customers come from as far away as Ohio, Syra-cuse and Rochester because there is no other place with the selection, or that is able to fi t saddles for horses, ac-cording to Campese. “We give ideas to the saddle makers and then they customize what we want and send them to us. We have a few specialized horse clinicians that ride in our saddles. Th ey give us their feedback and then we will build saddles for them.” Th e pair also host “horse clinics,” to promote better communications between people and their horses, she says. One well-known horse woman who has hosted a clinic at Stagecoach West is Stacy Westfall, who has be-
come a you tube sensation with a video of her riding bareback and bridleless. With the video going ‘viral,” Campese says Westfall is a rock star, and has even ap-peared on the Ellen DeGe-neres Show.Th e store, with its vast in-ventory, supplies merchan-dise for both English and Western riding-two totally diff erent disciplines.Along with the retail store and on-line business, Stagecoach West also packs up and goes on the road for various shows during the year. “Your name gets out here, and that’s the name of the game for people to see your products.”And products they have. In addition to stable sup-plies- blankets, brushes, and horse care, there are sections of home decor, jewelry, clothing, motor-cycling and snowmobiling, work clothes and attire for outdoor adventure. Campese has recently taken over operations of the store, which she runs with her sister, Annette Logan, who also operates the nearby “Just Pets.” As far as her father’s continued participation she quips, “my dad is trying to retire, but that’s not working out so well.”Stagecoach West is located on Routes 5 & 20 in Ir-ving and is open Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m.- 8 p.m. and Sunday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Th ey may be reached at 1-800 -648-1121, or interested persons may visit the store at www.stage-coachwest.com.

This week we are featuring “Rover” and “Tach”. Tach is a 2 year old petite, short haired kitty. She is very sweet and loves to run. She does well with other cats and is ready for a home of her own. Rover is a 2 year old lab that already knows “sit”, “down” and “shake”. He loves to go for walks and play with other dogs. He needs some training so he doesn’t pull on a leash. He has a great love for fun and would like nothing better than a family of his own. If one of these pets sounds like the family addition you have been look-ing for, stop in at the Strunk Road Adoption Center and meet them. You won’t be disappointed.

Cutting the ribbon on another asset to the Safety Village recently were repre-sentatives of the Westfield/Mayville Rotary Club who dedicated a pavilion, liter-ally built by hand by club members & a few helpers.John Hamels, club presi-dent, gave the full story of the beginning to the end of the April through early No-vember volunteer efforts to produce an ideal gathering place for children and par-ents to relax after exploring each learning experience.It all began when Terri Kindberg, executive direc-tor of the village, noted during a presentation that Rotary had no presence there. When Hamels mentioned this at a club meeting, Rotarian JB Dunn challenged his constitu-ents to fill that need. At that time, a meeting of the Safety Village Board, of which Hamels and W/M Rotarian Ben Spitzer are members, noted that there was no place for children to congregate outside for lunch or activities.Next came Jim Wakeman, W/M Rotary Foundation chair who suggested some funding might be available through a Unified Rotary District Grant to purchase picnic tables. The grant was submitted, approved and led to the purchase of four all-weather tables.
To keep it in the family, Wakeman’s wife, Sue Ham-mond, designed two long “Rotary Pavilion” signs, one of which she funded, and they were installed by Hamels and club member Tom Berkhouse. Special recognition was given for the help of two BOCES teachers: Jeff An-geletti and his Conservation classes prepped the sit and assisted with the digging of the footers; and Chris O’Brien and his classes who poured the footers and built the superstructure. In officially dedicating the pavilion, Hamels said, “The Westfield/Mayville Rotary Club wishes to of-ficially open this pavilion to be used by children across the region when they visit the Children’s Safety Vil-lage. We do this as part of our motto, ‘Service above Self ’ and in alignment with this year’s theme, ‘Peace through Service’.” Hamels added, “May the staff and students find the pavilion a place of enjoy-ment and haven from the elements for many years to come. And, finally, this is only the beginning. We plan to make the Safety Vil-lage a high priority as one of our special projects for the foreseeable future and will endeavor to support the mission of educating our youth in how to live safely in a peaceful world.”

Megan D’Angelo, Director of Community Relations for Hospice Chautauqua County, spoke recently to the members of the Ro-tary Club of Jamestown regarding the services that Hospice provides.The Club members have been hearing programs during the month of No-vember to enable them to be knowledgeable regard-ing debilitating illness and death. Ms. D’Angelo began by in-forming the group that the best time to call for Hospice services is the moment one asks themselves that question - when someone is diagnosed with a terminal illness - when life expec-tancy is in months rather than years. Among the illnesses Hos-pice patients have had are: cancer, COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), cardiac disease, renal disease, neurologi-cal illnesses, Lou Gehrig’s disease, AIDS, cirrhosis of the liver, leukemia, etc.The process begins with a Hospice social worker completing an intake ques-tionnaire with the family members. Once Hospice
understands the patient and their illness, plans for a visit are made with the patient to evaluate their needs and see what services best serve them and the family. Hospice provides a Pallia-tive Care Program for those with a life-limiting illness who need help with pain relief, fatigue, anxiety, help setting goals for care, guid-ance in making complex treatment choices, and need attention for the emotional and spiritual needs that death often brings. Hospice Chaplains can help families work through these feelings and connect with their ex-isting faith to help develop a spiritual growth at the end of life. Hospice services include: a consultant physician, regis-tered nurses, home health aides, pastoral caregivers, social work services, thera-pies (physical, occupational, speech), dietary counseling, drugs and medical supplies/equipment related to the life-limiting illness, back-up hospital care, respite care, trained volunteers, and bereavement counsel-ing. Additional services provided include: physical /health support; occupa-tional therapy; art therapy; music therapy; Reiki and massage therapy.
Hospice cares for more than 600 patients per year, receiving over 51% refer-rals in Chautauqua County; however, Hospice cares for only 37% of those referrals because most people call too late in the progress of their illness or they re-main unsure they need the services. The financial burden on patients at the end of life impacts their pets too and so Hospice has developed the Pet Peace of Mind Pro-gram which allows people to have the relief in know-ing their pets will be taken care of and provided for with vaccinations, food and medications.The Hospice “We Honor Veterans Program” assures that all veterans are receiv-ing the benefits they are entitled to? This program addresses the special needs
of veterans at end of life, while encouraging a better understanding and stronger partnership between hos-pices and VA Facilities.Hospice strives for a calm-ness and strength for their patients to understand when the moment of relief has arrived and the time has come to continue in spirit.Megan Wilberg D’Angelo graduated from Jame-stown Community Col-lege and earned her degree in Art - Psychology from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. She is also a licensed Optician and worked at Spectrum Eyecare and in several opti-cal firms in North Carolina before returning to Jame-stown with her family. She is a member of Zonta and Rotary and the Chamber of Commerce.

Th e hot stove rages on in the middle of December, even in Jamestown. Th e Pittsburgh Pirates caravan is rolling through town next week, as the new major league affi liate of the Jamestown Jammers makes their ini-tial public appearance at Jamestown Community College on Th ursday, Dec. 13.
Th e three-day caravan event will make its fi nal showing in Jamestown and will feature manager Clint Hur-dle, players Gaby Sanchez, Josh Har-
rison and Alex Presley, along with broadcaster Tim Neverett. Th e event will run from 6 to 8 p.m. with an autograph session open to the public at 6:30 p.m. As of Tuesday, less than 30 tickets were still available through the Jamestown Jammers ticket offi ce or the Downtown Jamestown Devel-opment Corporation. “I am very excited for the Pirates to bring their caravan to Jamestown,” Jammers general manager Matt Drayer said. “Th is is a great oppor-tunity to showcase Major League ballplayers for our community. Th e Jammers are delighted to partner with the Pittsburgh Pirates, Jame-stown Community College and the DJDC for such a fantastic occasion.” Th e Pirates have four diff erent groups of players and coaches visiting 20 diff erent communities from Dec. 11 through Dec. 13, with Jamestown being the only stop in New York. Th e same group visiting Jamestown will visit Erie, Pa. earlier in the day Th ursday before head-ing to Jamestown for the fi nal tour stop. Th ey caravan fi nishes with the
23rd annual PirateFest in downton Pittsburgh on Dec. 15-16.Aft er the 2012 season ended, the Jammers ended their relationship with the Miami Marlins, for which they were affi liated with since 2001. Th ey quickly signed a deal with the Pittsburgh Pirates, off ering the Jammers their fi rst regional con-tract since having the Detroit Tigers throughout the ’90s. Still, the Pirates have a strong showing in Chautau-qua County and the move has always seemed like a perfect fi t.“Th e Jammers are looking forward to presenting Jamestown and Chau-tauqua County for all the Pirates visitors,” Drayer said. Highlighting the Jamestown trip will be Clint Hurdle, the third year manager for the Pirates. Hurdle had a 10-year playing career that last until the late ’80s and got his fi rst managerial job in Colorado in 2002. He managed the Rockies for eight years and led Colorado to a franchise-high 90 victories in 2007 that brought the Rockies their fi rst National League pennant. In just his
second year in Pittsburgh, Hurdle nearly led the Pirates to their fi rst .500 season in 20 years, but ulti-mately fell two wins short. Also in attendance will be former Jamestown Jammers fi rst baseman Gaby Sanchez. A major league all-star in 2011, Sanchez was a member of the 2005 Jammers when he hit .355 with fi ve homers and 42 RBI in 62 games. Sanchez reached the majors just three years later and was a key member of the Marlins before being traded to Pittsburgh on July 31 this past season.Th e other two players coming to Jamestown are Josh Harrison and Alex Presley. Harrison, a utility infi elder in his second year batted .233 last year. Presley, an outfi elder, made an immediate impact in his fi rst season in 2011 but batted just .237 last year. Finally, Tim Neverett will be the fi ft h member of the Pirates crew coming to Jamestown. Neverett has been the voice of the Pirates since the 2009 season.

NEW YORK (AP) — On one side, a blossoming dynasty from the college football capital of the Deep South. On the other, the sport's most famous team, trying to reclaim its place among the elite.Notre Dame and Alabama bring star power and power football to the BCS championship.Th e matchup became offi cial Sunday night when the fi nal standings were released and, to no one's surprise, the Fighting Irish were fi rst and the Crimson Tide was second.Th e one bit of drama on college foot-ball's selection Sunday was whether Northern Illinois could be this year's BCS buster. Th e Huskies got in, get-ting a spot in the Orange Bowl against Florida State, taking a bid away from Oklahoma and sparking heated debate about a system that never fails to tick off fans in some way.As for the main event in the penul-timate Bowl Championship Series, there was little controversy about No. 1 Notre Dame against No. 2 Alabama in Miami.''The tradition of Alabama and Notre Dame brings special atten-tion to it, but we're just trying to the best team on Monday, Jan. 7,'' Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said Sunday night. ''All of that tradition, what's happened in the past, is not going to help us Jan. 7, but we do respect the traditions.''

One of the most highly anticipated events to ever come to Jamestown is now less than 10 days away. The Progressive Skating and Gymnastic Spectacular will be at the Jame-stown Savings Bank Arena Dec. 15 and will feature countless number of United States Olympians. The event will start at 7 p.m. and will be shown nationally on NBC in January. A loaded cast of characters will be headed to Jamestown next week, perhaps most notably Gabby Douglas, a gold medalist in the 2012 London Olympics in the all-around competition. She also was a member of the gold medal artistic team comprised of Jordyn Wieber, Aly Raisman, Kyla Ross and McK-ayla Maroney and Douglas. Joining Douglas in Jamestown will be Wieber and Raisman, both of which have a long history of suc-cess on the floor. Wieber won gold medals at the Pacific Rim Cham-pionships held in Seattle, Wash. in the all-around and floor exercise. She was also the 2011 women’s world champion in the all-around competition. Raisman was a gold medalist in London for the floor exercise and also took bronze in the balance beam. She was a mem-ber of the world championship
team in 2011.Joining those girls is 2008 Olym-pian Nastia Liukin, who took home five medals from Beijing, including the gold medal for the all-around competition. She also won silver in the uneven bars and balance beam, and the bronze in the floor exer-cise. The United States women’s team finished with the silver that year.Men’s gymnast stars Danell Leyva and Chris Brooks. Leyva was a member of the 2012 men’s team and he won the bronze in the all-around competition. Brooks was
an alternate for that squad and won four gold medals at the Pacific Rim Championships earlier this year. Brooks replaces John Orozco, who was injured recently.The on-ice part of the spectacular is not short on names either. The best men’s and women’s united state skaters will be in Jamestown, including Meryl Davis and Charlie White, who were silver medalists for ice dancing in 2010 at Vancou-ver’s Winter Olympics. Joining Da-vis and White are Jeremy Abbott, Ashley Wagner, Alissa Czisny, Maia and Alex Shibutani, Adam Rippon and Gracie Gold.
Abbott was a member of the 2010 men’s Olympic team and is the current U.S. men’s champion. Wagner is also the current U.S. champion and placed fourth at the 2012 world championships. Czisny was a silver medalist at this year’s national championship, finishing behind Wagner. She is a two-time national champion of the event, most recently in 2011. The Shibu-tani’s are siblings that were world bronze medalists in 2011. Rippon finished behind Abbott at this year’s national championship and Gold, 17, is the current U.S. junior national champion.The event will be hosted by Bart Conner, Nadia Comaneci and Peggy Fleming. Conner is the only American male gymnast to win gold medals at every level of national and international com-petition. At the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, he made a dramatic comeback from his second torn bi-cep injury to win two gold medals.He’s married to Comaneci, a Ro-manian gymnast, who won three gold medals at the 1976 Olympics and two more in Moscow in 1980. Finally, Peggy Fleming won a gold medal in Grenoble for the 1968 Olympics in figure skating.Musical hosts will include Nick-elodeon stars, The Fresh Beat Band. The R5 band will also be in attendance.

Th e high school basketball season fi nally got underway this past weekend with the Westfi eld Tip-Off Tournament starting things off as usual. Four county schools squared off with Sherman taking the non-league tournament aft er defeating Frewsburg and the host Wolverines.In the championship game, junior Andrew Graham led the way with 22 points for the Wildcats (2-0) as they de-feated Westfi eld (1-1) 64-58 in overtime. Fellow juniors Ryan Robson (14 points) and Devin Moorhead (10 points) helped chip in for the victory. In their opener, Graham had 15 points and Robson had 12.Westfi eld (1-1) won their opener convincingly over Falconer 88-39 before losing the championship game. Senior Jon Coe, a return-ing all-league player, had 18 points in the opener and 22 more in the fi nale. Fellow senior Jordan Imm had 17 points against Falconer and sophomore Tanner Dahl had 17 in his varsity debut. For Falconer (0-2), they were led by Nick Conti who had 31 points over the weekend. He had 14 against Westfi eld and 17 against Frewsburg, who they lost to in a nail biter for the consolation prize.Frewsburg (1-1) picked up the consolation by defeating the Golden Falcons 57-55 thanks to a 21-point game from Alex Elderkin. He matched that total from the night before when the Bears narrowly lost to Sherman, 56-46.Cassadaga Valley (2-0) is off to a nice start aft er sweeping a home-and-home series with Pine Valley (0-2). Th ey beat the Panthers 63-32 on their home court last Th ursday and returned the favor by winning 54-24 in South Dayton. Th e Cougars were likely going to have a tough time replacing Dustin Schauman to score, but have won both games so far thanks to their defense. Ju-nior Mike Lancaster is off to a hot start with 33 points in the two games. He had 18 in the opener aft er connecting on three three-pointers. Randy Dalaba was also in double-fi gures in both contests. Th e Panthers were led by Lucas Trombley, who had 12 points
on Monday.Also on Monday, Dunkirk (0-1) was back on its home court for the fi rst time in over a year but was thumped by Silver Creek 90-70. It’s a new era for the Marauders, who not only have a brand new fl oor to play on, but also graduated a senior class that had numer-ous two-year starters. Manny Maisonet had 14 points and senior Marquel Buchanon-Ruiz had 13.For Silver Creek (1-0), a promising season did get indeed get off to a nice start. Not too many teams will able to keep up with the Black Knights, who have as much speed and shooting as anyone. Th ey also run a fullcourt, man-to-man press that has given teams fi ts over the years. Senior Steve Marcey scored 31 points and classmate Zed Wil-liams had 28. Th at outside-inside combo might be the best in the county. Another sharpshooter, junior Kaine
Kettle, had 14 points.Sherman wasn’t the only school scoring a big win for Class D during the opening week. Clymer knocked off Southwestern 49-33 behind an all-around performance from the Pirates. Jake Wiggers, Gar-ret McAfoose and Matt DeSte-vens were all in double-fi gures while Dan Lictus had six.Southwestern (0-1) has two pretty good scorers in Kyle Radack and Alex Peck, but they were mostly held in check, scoring a combined 22 points. Th e Trojans didn’t hit a three, either.Forestville (1-1) won its opener over West Valley 48-39 thanks to Jake Nosbisch’s 13 points. Senior Adam Pleva had 12 as the Hornets won their opener over fellow Class D School in West Valley. Th ey then lost to North Collins 52-42 on Monday, despite getting another 21 points from Nosbisch. Pleva had 11.

Th e numerous youth football leagues across Western New York have just completed an-other season. And there were teams more successful than others as apparent by their fi nal won-loss record and pos-sibly a championship trophy. Hurray! But at what level in youth sports does winning take precedent over the devel-opment of ALL of the players on the team? In one youth football league, teams must put 11 players on off ense and another 11 on defense throughout the game thus giving 22 players a chance to compete. Another league has a rule built into place where only a handful of players are allowed to play on both off ense and defense from the opening kickoff until the fi nal whistle. Again, most of the players are given a fair chance to get into the game.However, there other youth
football leagues across West-ern New York that permit the coaches to use their reserves for a specifi ed number of plays such as a minimum fi ve play per game rule. Once the fi ve-play limit is up, regard-less of any success, it is back to the bench for the "second stringers" until next week with the possible exception of the score being lopsided. As one youth coach stated to me; "It's all about putting the best play-ers on the fi eld and winning". Sad, but true.But go back and read the mis-sion statements for every one of these youth football leagues and you will fi nd virtually the same mantra. "Th e sole purpose of youth football is teach sportsmanship and help develop the skills of each individual regardless of their talent level".A recent proposal by several parents in one of the fi ve play
per game leagues would have the reserves from one team play against the reserves from the other team during the fi rst quarter of every game. Th is would allow every player an ample amount of playing time when the game was far from decided. It would also make these players feel part of the team, win or lose. Coaches, who prioritize winning would then have to devote more attention to all of the play-ers during every practice regardless of their skill level that would in turn match the league's mission statement.Unfortunately proposals, such as the one above, that make sense in the reality of youth sports will most likely be met by opposition and voted down. Remember, youth leagues are controlled by a Board of Direc-tors comprised of coaches and their relatives. When they perceive less time for their own children who are most likely
already on the fi rst team, a well thought out response that would help to "even the play-ing fi eld" is oft en discarded. It is not about all of the kids, it is about their kid.Little League Baseball adopted a rule several years ago that every player bat at least once and play two innings in the fi eld during each game. Th is rule is followed all the way through the Little League World Series in Williamsport, PA each summer. Regardless of the skill level, every player will be guaranteed to play in 33% of each game. But in the confi nes of the fi ve play rule in certain youth football leagues, it equates to about 8% of the game. Basically, you are asking these young athletes, many playing the sport for the fi rst time, to attend practice for 12 hours a week so they can play less than three min-utes in a game.
Again, the discrepancy in playing time falls right back into the lap of the league's Board of Directors and the coaches. While many (not all) coaches at the youth level will preach that they are there to teach the fundamentals and sportsmanship, the bottom line for most of these coaches is winning. No coach at any level is there to lose. But at the youth level, where every coach is a volunteer and a promo-tion to the next level (high school) is almost non-existent since most are not certifi ed teachers, the attitude towards winning at all cost can be just as prevalent as the pros.Th e ultimate goal for every youth football league should be teaching fundamentals and sportsmanship while provid-ing an equal opportunity for all players to participate and improving their skills.

Funny thing happened to me Monday aft ernoon. Deep down, somewhere near unconditional love for my parents, was another feeling nobody likes to brag about. Yes, I missed hockey.I’ve long argued that had I not grown up in a city where people value their local team more than the steadily-de-creasing economy, I might not even know the sport existed. Nothing against it, I just don’t know how to skate and spent most of my winter nights working on my jumpshot in my parents’ driveway. Besides that, I spent every other wak-ing minute desperately wait-ing for springtime.So no, hockey has never really been my thing. But I just can’t stand the thought of even thinking about the Buff alo Bills. Plus college football has dwindled down to the Bowl season, which even though I love it, it’s still two weeks away. Th e basketball seasons are in full swing, but I won’t hide the fact that NBA has the most pointless regular season of all. Plus, my teams aren’t very good.I’m not quite craving a 10 p.m. faceoff involving Vancouver and San Jose, but for the fi rst time all year, the sports calendar just seemed off to me. Which of course got me thinking that if I was starting to miss hockey, something has seriously gone wrong. And as you all know, it has.It’s almost become expected, though, hasn’t it? Because of a lockout that cancelled an en-tire season just eight years ago, this one almost feels natural. But that’s the problem. Th e lockout will reach 82 days on Th ursday, already the sixth longest in U.S. professional sports history. Making matters worse, two of the fi ve ahead of it are also thanks to Gary Bettman and the NHL. Th e NBA had one of the worst lockouts ever last year, although it feels as if it was 20 years ago. Commissioner David Stern basically wrote the book on how to rebound from a work stoppage last year. Problem for Bettman is that Stern had the re-birth of likable superstars and unlik-able super teams. Both sell in-credibly well. On the fl ipside, the NHL has the same-old tired product that has severe problems of reaching out past diehard hockey fans.Don’t get me wrong, those fans aren’t leaving anytime soon. But the future of the NHL is dangerously getting close to the edge of falling into oblivion — something people could have argued even before this lockout started. I can’t even imagine what another cancelled season would do to its image.And aft er just assuming a deal would get done, I’m now start-ing to realize that it’s a very
real possibility that somehow this league will not get a deal done. For a second, forget about whose side your own. Perhaps it’s neither, but how can any outsider justify being a fan of a league that is show-ing zero interest in its fans? If they could strike such a hor-rendous deal eight years ago, why can’t they just do it again and worry about it later down the road, right?Now I don’t suggest the easy way out in most walks of life, but what the NHL and the players association are doing is a downright crime. Not so much to me, but to the true hockey fans out there. Th e lack of a sense of urgency — at least in public where they could ac-tually just pretend to care — is simply marveling to watch. For reference, last year’s NBA lockout actually stopped Dec. 8, a mere two days from this printing. Sure, they wound up playing 66 games and had a successful season, but don’t think for a second the NHL can duplicate that. Fact is, the NBA season traditionally starts a full two weeks aft er the NHL and also had the ability — albeit scrutinized — to play three games in a row. It’s tough enough to force teams in the NHL to play back-to-back nights (typically Friday and Saturday) before jumping into action on Tues-day or Wednesday. Simply put, the NHL would be lucky to hit 50 games at this point considering most teams have had about 27 games cancelled already. And games scheduled to start on Dec. 15 would be tough to keep even if the lockout ended today.What I’m getting at is time is of the essence. Th e season is on the brink. Yes, the 2004-05 season wasn’t actually can-celled until mid-February, but it doesn’t appear as if waiting that long is an option this time around. Back in November, when cancellations were made until Dec. 15, it was widely reported by many agencies that the next round of cancellations would be the entire season.While I fi rmly believe that was basically a warning shot to the players association, I don’t think that route is far away. If this stalemate reaches into the beginning of the next calendar year, I think the season will have been lost. Th e halfway point of the season for the Buff alo Sabres is their 41st game on Jan. 11. Considering I don’t think the league will play less than 42 games (they could cram in an additional four-to-six games) that date would appear as the last target date to start a season. Th at leaves us just a little over a month until then and about three weeks or so to come to an agreement.If there is any good news, it’s that we don’t truly know what’s going on behind closed doors. Most media reports say it isn’t good, but that can swing in one meeting. Just as I wouldn’t be shocked if it ended by next week, I can’t say I’d be surprised if we lose everything.Still, I think a deal ultimately gets done and it happens rela-tively soon. Is that just wishful thinking? Hey, I already told you I wasn’t a fan. Hopefully it’s a nice Christmas gift for the rest of you.

ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. — St. Bonaventure University alumnus John H. Meisch and his wife, Kay, have committed $75,000 to St. Bonaventure University’s Women’s Basket-ball Locker Room Campaign.Th e gift is a tribute to St. Bo-naventure University women’s basketball head coach Jim Crowley and last season’s nationally ranked Bonnies (31-4), who went unbeaten in the Atlantic 10 and advanced to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament.Crowley, a two-time Atlan-tic 10 Coach of the Year, was named ESPN’s National Coach of the Year for 2011-2012. Th e Bonnies have won
20 or more games each of the last four seasons.“On behalf of our entire pro-gram, I want to thank John and Kay for this incredibly generous gift ,” said Crowley. “Th ey understand how im-portant the new locker room is to sustaining our success as a basketball program. Th eir commitment will positively impact our program for de-cades. I am deeply humbled by their support.”Th e university recently launched the locker room campaign to raise money for the construction of a new locker room and meet-ing space for the team. Th e improvements will advance the student-athletes’ aca-demic, competitive and social development, and will meet or exceed Atlantic 10 Confer-
ence standards.Th e Meisches’ contribution represents 25 percent of the $300,000 needed to build the new facility.“Jim Crowley and the women’s basketball team have brought the spirit of St. Bonaventure to new heights,” said the Meisches. “With the many hours that the team spends in training, they deserve better facilities. It is a pleasure to contribute to the women’s locker room in honor of Jim Crowley.”Longtime supporters of the University, the Meisches are principal patrons of the University’s annual Francis Week celebration, and have sponsored the Fr. Jerome Kelly Francis Week speaker for more than a decade. Th ey are also frequent hosts
for alumni and presidential events at their homes in Cali-fornia and Canandaigua.John Meisch, a member of the class of 1958, was named the 2008 William P. “Stax” McCarthy Alumnus of the Year and has served on the National Alumni Association Board. In the past decade, the Meisches have supported the Bonaventure Fund, Students in Free Enterprise, and vari-ous initiatives in the offi ces of alumni and admissions.To date, more than $233,000 has been raised toward the $300,000 goal.

Indiana, Duke and Michigan remained the top three teams in The Associated Press' col-lege basketball poll. Look all the way to the bottom and you won't see Kentucky's name for the first time since John Calipari became coach of the Wildcats.Indiana, which has been No. 1 since the preseason poll, saw its lead over Duke shrink a little bit. The Hoosiers (8-0) received 45 first-place votes Monday from the 65-member national media panel, two fewer than last week.Duke (8-0) for the second straight week had the other first-place votes. The Blue Devils beat Ohio State last week giving them wins over teams ranked second, third and fourth in a span of 15 days. The other such run was Arizona beating teams ranked first, fourth and fifth from the regional semifinals to the NCAA championship game in 1997, a span of 11 days.Kentucky (4-3) lost to Notre Dame and Baylor last week, the latter a loss that snapped the Wildcats' 55-game home winning streak, the longest in the nation. Kentucky had been ranked in the last 61 polls, 11 of those weeks at No. 1. The run started with the preseason poll of 2009-10, the
start of the Calipari Era when the Wildcats started young lineups which were usually gutted the next season by the NBA draft. The Wildcats won Kentucky's eighth national championship in April then had six players taken in the draft including Anthony Davis and Michael Kidd-Gil-christ as the first two picks.Duke has the longest current run in the poll — 101 weeks which started with the pre-season poll of 2007-08. Kansas has the second-longest run at 69 weeks.Syracuse was fourth followed by Louisville, Florida, Ohio State, Arizona, Kansas and Gonzaga.Colorado (6-1) was the other team to drop out of the rank-ings, falling from 19th after losing to Wyoming.Notre Dame (7-1) moved back in to the poll at No. 22 after a two-week absence. Wichita State (8-0), which beat Tulsa and Air Force last week, moved in at No. 24. The Shockers were ranked for the last five weeks of last season.Cincinnati was ranked 11th followed by Missouri, Illinois, Minnesota, Georgetown, Creighton, San Diego State, New Mexico, Michigan State and North Carolina.The last five teams were UNLV, Notre Dame, Okla-homa State, Wichita State and North Carolina State.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Nick Foles is the quarterback of the present for the Philadel-phia Eagles.Coach Andy Reid said Foles will remain the starter for the rest of the season, even when Michael Vick returns from a concussion. The Eagles (3-9) have lost eight straight games, a strong factor in Reid's decision.''No. 1, I just think he's playing well enough to where I think he can win football games for us,'' Reid said Monday. ''And No. 2, I think where we sit at this position in the season, I think it's the right thing to do.''Reid made the announcement a day after Foles had his best performance in a 38-33 loss at Dallas on Sunday night. Foles, a third-round pick, has started the last three games since Vick was injured on Nov. 11.Foles was 22 of 34 for 251 yards and one touchdown against the Cowboys. He has thrown for 793 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions and has a passer rating of 73.3.''You see the footwork is better when he's throwing the foot-ball,'' Reid said. ''It's allowing us to add more into his reper-
toire of throws and he's been working very hard on that.''Vick has struggled this season, committing 14 turnovers in nine games. He has 2,165 yards passing, 11 TDs and nine interceptions for a passer rating of 79.2.''With Michael, we need to make sure he gets healthy,'' Reid said. ''This thing has car-ried on a while here now and I want to make sure he is good to go.''Vick remains in stage four of five in his recovery and has yet to pass the final test that would allow him to be cleared to practice. The team has a five-phase recovery protocol, which is separate from the NFL-mandated concussion program.Reid didn't even commit to having Vick back up Foles. Trent Edwards currently is the No. 2 quarterback.''I haven't got that far, but most likely, he'll be the second guy,'' Reid said. ''We'll see how that goes. The No. 1 thing I want him to do is get healthy. That's what I want. This obvi-ously has taken a bit and he's working his tail off to try to get it right and I just want him to get that right so he can have a nice, long career here.''
The Irish clinched their spot a week ago in Los Angeles by com-pleting a perfect season against rival Southern California.Alabama earned its spot Satur-day, beating Georgia 32-28 in a thrilling Southeastern Conference title game.The program that coach Paul Bryant turned into an SEC be-hemoth in the 1960s and 70s, winning five national champi-onships and sharing another during his tenure, is again dominating college football with a modern-day version of the Bear leading the way in Tuscaloosa, Ala.Coach Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide are on the verge of one of the great runs in his-tory. Alabama would become the first team to repeat as champs since the BCS was implemented in 1998, and it would be the 11th time a team has won consecutive AP titles since the poll started in 1936. Alabama is already one of seven programs to repeat. The Tide has done it twice. Notre Dame is another.Alabama also won the 2009 BCS championship under Sa-ban. The last team to win three major national titles in four seasons was Nebraska, which went back-to-back in 1994 and '95 and finished No. 1 in the final coaches' poll in 1997.In a world full of spread-the-field, hurry-up offenses, Alabama is a bastion of tradi-tional football.The Tide put its no-frills muscle on display Saturday, mashing Georgia with 350 yards rushing.Eddie Lacy, listed at a conser-vative 220 pounds, went for 181 against the Bulldogs to up his season total to 1,182 with 17 touchdowns. Freshman T.J. Yeldon has run for 1,000 yards and scored 12 touchdowns.But this is no 3 yards and a cloud of dust. Both backs average over 6 yards per carry, behind an offensive line anchored by All-American center Barrett Jones, who is nursing a foot injury.And quarterback AJ McCarron has thrown for 26 touchdowns with only three interceptions.The Tide has been more potent offensively this season than last to make up for a de-fense that has slipped, but only a bit. Alabama leads the nation in total defense (246 yards per game) and is second in points allowed (10.7 per game). Line-backers Adrian Hubbard, Nico Johnson, CJ Mosley and Trey Depriest average 242 pounds.When Brian Kelly was hired at Notre Dame three years ago, he looked at Alabama and the SEC, which has won six straight BCS titles, and decided the Irish needed to play like that.Kelly built his reputation and winning teams at previous stops on fast-paced spread offenses. In South Bend, Ind., he has put the fight back in the Irish, who have won eight AP national titles — only Ala-bama has as many — but none since 1988.Notre Dame has allowed the fewest touchdowns in the
country (10) and is sixth over-all in total defense (286 yards per game).''It's clear that the formation of any great program is going to be on its defense,'' Kelly said. ''If you play great defense you've got a chance. For us to move Notre Dame back into national prominence we had to develop a defense.''The face of the Irish isn't a strong-armed quarterback or speedy ball carrier. It's middle linebacker Manti Te'o, a 255-pound offense wrecker with a nose for the ball. The senior has seven interceptions and is a likely Heisman finalist.Te'o, along with 300-pound linemen Stephon Tuitt and Lou-is Nix, have formed a red-zone wall for the Irish. Late goal-line stands highlighted victories against Stanford and USC.''There's some pretty physi-cal guys that have some great toughness and some great licks,'' Saban said in assessing Notre Dame.While nurturing redshirt freshman Everett Golson, Kelly has leaned on Notre Dame's running game, which averages 202 yards.''This is just a good all-around football team with tremendous balance on offense and a very physical defense,'' Saban said.If Notre Dame, making its first appearance in a BCS champi-onship, is going to break the SEC's strangle hold on the crystal ball trophy, the Irish will try to beat 'Bama at its own game.And Kelly will try to uphold a Notre Dame tradition, by winning a national title in his third season as coach. Frank Leahy, Ara Parseghian, Dan Devine and Lou Holtz all won it all in Year 3 playing in the shadow of the Golden Dome.Notre Dame will try to become the first team since BYU in 1984 to start the season un-ranked and win a national title.Expect plenty of fans to be watching. With the popular-ity of both programs, the second-to-last BCS title game is expected to be the highest rated ever. Though it might be hard for many fans to choose. While there are plenty of fans tired of watching the SEC win championships, Notre Dame has always been the program people love to hate.''I don't know if we picked up any more fans along the way,'' Kelly said.In two years, college football switches to a four-team playoff to determine its champion. No doubt fans of Florida (11-1), Oregon (11-1), Stanford (11-2) and Kansas State (11-1) wish they could push the start date up on that, but for the most part there isn't much griping about this champion-ship matchup.Notre Dame is the only unde-feated team that is eligible — thanks to Ohio State's NCAA sanctions — and Alabama is the champion of the league that has produced the last half-dozen national champs.Roll Tide or return to glory? To be determined in South Florida.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Alex Rodriguez will start the season in what's become a fa-miliar place: the disabled list.The New York Yankees said Monday the third baseman will have surgery on his left hip, an injury that could sideline him until the All-Star break and may explain his spectacularly poor perfor-mance during the playoffs.''It's a significant blow,'' Yan-kees general manager Brian Cashman said. ''But we've dealt with significant blows and, hopefully, we'll be able to deal with this one, as well.''A 14-time All-Star and base-ball's priciest player at $275 million, Rodriguez has a torn labrum, bone impingement and a cyst. He will need four to six weeks of physical therapy to strengthen the hip before sur-gery, and the team anticipates he will be sidelined four to six months after the operation.This will be Rodriguez's sixth trip to the disabled list in six seasons. A-Rod had right hip surgery on March 9, 2009, and returned that May 8.''It is a more complicated surgery with a longer recov-ery time because there is a little bit more that needs to be done,'' Cashman said, citing the bone impingement. ''I don't think it's age related. Butt at the same time, the old-er you are, the slower you're going to recover regardless. But the bottom line and the message I've been receiving is that this is a solvable issue.''
Rodriguez, who turns 38 in July, complained to manager Joe Girardi of a problem with his right hip the night Raul Ibanez pinch hit for him — and hit a tying ninth-inning home run — against Baltimore during Game 3 of the AL divi-sion series in October. He went to New York-Presbyterian Hospital's emergency room and was checked out then.''Up to this point, there was no complaints of any nature at all from his hip, or anything really,'' Cashman said. ''At that point Joe went to Alex in the dugout and said, 'I'm going to pinch hit for you and we're going to pinch hit Ibanez,' and Alex said to Joe at that mo-ment, 'OK,' he said, 'I've got to talk to you about something. I think my right hip needs to be looked at. I just don't feel like I'm firing on all cylinders.'''Cashman said the test on the right hip ''was clean'' and the left hip was not examined.''I can tell you if a patient shows up in the emergency room with a complaint,
they're going to focus on where the complaint is, not something else,'' he said.Rodriguez, owed $114 million by New York over the next five years, remained a shell of his former self on the field. He was benched in three of nine postseason games and pinch hit for in three others. He batted .120 (3 for 25) with no RBIs in the playoffs, includ-ing 0 for 18 with 12 strikeouts against right-handed pitchers.A-Rod broke his left hand when he was hit by a pitch from Seattle's Felix Hernandez on July 24. He returned Sept. 3 and hit .195 with two hom-ers and six RBIs over the final month of the regular season.Cashman said Rodriguez's left hip injury was detected last month when he had an annual physical in Colorado with Dr. Marc Philippon, who operated on the right hip 3 1-2 years ago. Rodriguez got a second opinion from Dr. Bryan Kelly of New York's Hospital for Special Surgery, who will operate on A-Rod
next month, and the injury was made public Monday by the New York Post.Cashman said ''they're not your typical injuries'' but wouldn't speculate whether they are related to steroids use. Rodriguez admitted in 2009 that he used steroids while with the Texas Rangers from 2001-03.''It doesn't matter what I won-der,'' Cashman said.With Derek Jeter, who turns 39 in June, coming off surgery to repair a broken ankle, the left side of the Yankees' infield could be even more of a de-fensive problem.Jeter expects to be ready for opening day. Eric Chavez, who filled in for Rodriguez for parts of the last two seasons, is a free agent and Cashman said there are few options on the market.Rodriguez had a strained quadriceps in 2008, the hip surgery in 2009, a strained calf in 2010, knee surgery in 2011 and the broken hand this year. While he is fifth on the career list with 647 home runs, he had just 34 the last two seasons.''When he's healthy — obvi-ously at one point he was spectacular,'' Cashman said. ''One player doesn't make a team, and so we have a full roster of guys plus our farm system behind that that's going to have to fill in. We've done it before.''NOTES: Toronto claimed C Eli Whiteside off waivers from the Yankees, who claimed him from San Francisco last month.
Perhaps there was something to Alex Rodriguez's struggles in this past year's postseason. The future Hall of Fame third base-man will require arthroscopic surgery this offseason and will miss at least half of the 2013 season. (AP Photo)

Th e Jamestown Ironmen came away with a pair of victories on the road against the Fresno Monsters this past weekend in North American Hockey League action. Aft er a three game losing skid, the Ironmen got back on track with a tight, 4-3 victory on Friday evening and a 4-0 shutout win on Saturday over the Monsters. Jamestown outshot Fresno, 27-10 throughout the fi rst two periods on Friday night and scored all four of their goals before the third period even started. Nicholas Sierra led the Ironmen by scoring what would be the game deciding goal and adding two assists. Jamestown also received goals from Nathan Ropelewski, Ryan Urso and a short-hand-ed score by Tyler Dunagan in the contest. Assists came from Brett Szajner, Dylan Zink, Ross Pavek and Victor Johansson as the Ironmen held on for a 4-3 victory. Reid Mimmack earned the win in goal for Jamestown with 15 saves on the night. Ross Pavek led the way for the Ironmen on Saturday night with a goal and two assists. Luc Gerdes added a goal and an assist while Matthew
Crockett and Nicholas Sierra each chipped in with goals of their own. Assists also came from Urso, Dunagan, Zink and Joe Mottiqua while Jamestown outshot Fresno, 25-20 on what was a complete eff ort from the Ironmen. Mimmack recorded his second shutout victory of the season; only the second in Ironmen history to improve his record to 14-4 overall. “We needed to get back on track this weekend,” said Ironmen Head Coach Dan Daikawa when asked about the importance of this past weekend’s victories. “Th ose were two big wins for us. We were able to refocus this week-
end, controlled the games and executed our game plan.” Th e Ironmen have expe-rienced their fair share of struggles with the penalty kill recently, yet held Fresno to one for nine on their power play throughout the two game series. Jamestown also managed to score a short-handed goal of their own and went two for seven with a one-man advantage. Jamestown improved their record to 18-6-2 and earned four points on the weekend, gaining a three-point lead in the NAHL North Division. Th e Ironmen will continue on their road trip as they travel up the west coast to
Wenatchee for a pair of games against the Wild (17-3-2) this Friday and Saturday. “Wenatchee is one of the top teams in the league,” said Daikawa. “Th is weekend’s games will be a true test for our team.”

Jamestown Sweeps Fresno As West Coast Trip Continues

FRISCO, Texas — Th e North American Hockey League (NAHL) announced the Divisional Stars of the Week presented by Combat Hockey for the week ending Decem-ber 2, 2012. Th e Divisional Stars of the Week is a weekly feature during the 2012-13 regular season that honors the top performing players in each of the four NAHL divi-sions as nominated by their respective teams.
North Division Star of the Week: Nico Sierra,
forward, Jamestown IronmenSometimes a change of scen-ery is good for a player and that can be said for Jamestown forward Nico Sierra. Th e 20-year-old from Warren, Mich., has only been with Ironmen a few weeks aft er his trade from Port Huron, but he made the most of it this past weekend as Jamestown stayed in 1st place in the North with a weekend sweep in Fresno against the Monsters. On Friday, Sierra (5’8/165) had the game-winning goal and two assists in a 4-3 win over Fresno. Th e next night, Sierra scored the fi rst goal of the game, which turned out to be the game-winner in a 4-0 shutout win. Both of Sierra’s goals over the weekend were game-winners and he was also a +3 over the weekend. “Nico has come in and been a good fi t right away,” said Jamestown head coach Dan Daikawa. “He brings veteran leadership to the locker room and has great speed and creates opportunities for himself.”
Central Division Star of the Week: Tyler Parks, goaltender, Minot MinotaurosWinners of their last six in the row, the Minot Mino-tauros are one of the hottest teams in the NAHL, and playing a big part is their goaltender Tyler Parks. Th e 20-year-old from St. Louis, Mo., was instrumental in Minot’s sweep this past week-end at home of the 1st place Austin Bruins. On Friday night, Parks (6’6/220) made 29 saves in a 2-1 win with the lone goal against coming on the power play. On Saturday night, Parks was even better as he stopped all 22 shots in regulation for his fi rst shutout of the season as Minot edged Austin, 1-0. For the weekend, Parks stopped 51 of 52 shots for a 98% save percentage and al-lowed just a single goal. Parks has won his last fi ve starts and the Minotauros are on a six game winning streak. "Tyler has been playing some outstanding hockey since
he arrived in Minot,” said Minotauros head coach Marty Murray. “He gives our team a chance to win every night and has been a key contributor to our success as of late. With his 6'6" frame, he obviously cov-ers a lot of net, but what im-presses me most is that he is a real competitor. His second and third eff orts are outstand-ing. He is playing with a lot of confi dence right now and the rest of our team feeds off it".
South Division Star of the Week: Justin Greenberg, forward, Texas TornadoTh e Texas Tornado success in Odessa continued over the weekend with a sweep of the Jackalopes. Tornado second-year forward Justin Greenberg led the way with six points (3 goals, 3 assists) in the two games. On Friday, the 18-year-old from Dal-las, Texas had a goal and two assists in a 6-1 win. Th e next night, it was another three point eff ort as he scored two goals and added an assist in a 6-3 win.
Greenberg (5’8/170) is third on the Tornado in scoring with 30 points in 29 games played, which eclipsed his entire season total from a year ago. Greenberg scored the Robertson Cup winning goal in overtime last season against St. Louis. “Justin has been consistently one of our best players all season long,” said Tornado head coach Tony Curtale. “Sometimes I have to keep reminding myself that he is just 18-years-old and he is able to do everything for us… power play, penalty kill and he makes great decisions with the puck. He has a lot of Division I interest, so his future looks bright.”
West Division Star of the Week: Gustaf Johansson, goaltender, Kenai River Brown BearsTh is is the second time this season that Kenai River Brown Bears goaltender Gustaf Johansson, 19, has been honored as West Divi-sion Player of the week. Th e
native of Uppsala, Sweden, played in both games over the weekend as the Brown Bears posted a weekend home sweep of their Alaskan rivals, the Fairbanks Ice Dogs. On Friday night, Johansson (6’4/190) made 32 saves in a 4-3 win over Fairbanks. Th e next night, Johansson was even better as he posted his third shutout of the season, making 30 saves in a 2-0 shutout win. For the week-end, Johansson stopped 62 of 65 shots, which was good for a 95.3% save percentage. His three shutouts this season ranked tied for 2nd in the NAHL. “I thought Gustaf was instrumental in the sweep, which was a fi rst for our club at home against Fairbanks,” said Brown Bears head coach Oliver David. “Shutting a team out like Fairbanks is never easy. He is as solid and composed as goalies come. He is a goalie that accepts the challenge of being the No. 1 guy every night and his game is as strong mentally as it is physically and technically.”

For Jeff Gordon, the winning didn’t endwith the Ford EcoBoost 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Last week at Las Vegas hewas named the 2012 winner of the NationalMotorsports Press Association’s MyersBrothers Award.
The award is given in memory of NASCARpioneering drivers Billy and Bobby Myers andrecognizes individuals and groups that madesignificant contributions to the sport.
Gordon was chosen because of his on-tracksuccess, which includes 87 Sprint Cup victo-ries and four championships, and his off-trackwork on behalf of various charities.
“Off the track, he has raised countlessfunds for charity through his foundation forpediatric cancer research,” said Modified racerBurt Myers, the grandson of Billy Myers, whopresented the award to Gordon along with hisbrother and fellow Modified racer JasonMyers. “He has traveled to Rwanda to aidwith health care as well as partnering withan organization to put it on the side of hisrace car as a drive to end hunger.”
Gordon seemed genuinely surprised toreceive the award.
“I am deeply honored, proud of the workthat I do on and off the track,” he said in hisacceptance remarks. “This is fantastic.”
There was little surprise when the winnerof the NMPA’s Most Popular Driver awardwas announced. Dale Earnhardt Jr. won forthe 10th straight year, tying him for consecu-tive years honored with Bill Elliott, who has a
league-leading 16 awards for his career.Other award recipients included veteran
broadcaster Ken Squier, who took the BuddyShuman Award, given annually to those whohelped build the Sprint Cup Series. It’s in
memory of Louis Grier Shuman, a driver andlater racing official who died in a hotel fire inHickory, N.C., in 1955 at age 40.
The Crew Chief of the Year award went toMatt Puccia, crew chief for Greg Biffle’s No. 16Ford. Engine builder honors went to ShaneParsnow from the No. 48 team at HendrickMotorsports. Pit crew honors went to the No. 56team of Martin Truex Jr. at Michael WaltripRacing, and Denny Hamlin won the Mobil 1Driver of the Year honors.
Stephen Leicht was named the Sunoco Rookieof the Year for the Sprint Cup Series. There waslittle activity on the rookie front in 2012.Leicht started just 15 of 36 races, finishedjust five of those and had a best effort of 26that Watkins Glen.
The winner of the second annual Betty JaneFrance Humanitarian Award earned it with-out even being at a race track. Lorri ShealyUnumb, creator of “Ryan’s Law,” received theaward for her work on behalf of children withautism.
According to a NASCAR release, whenUnumb’s oldest son Ryan was diagnosed withserious autism, she learned that health insur-ers wouldn’t cover his treatment. So shedrafted legislation, Ryan’s Law, that has beenenacted in more than 30 states and requiresinsurers to cover autism treatment. She alsofounded the Autism Academy of SouthCarolina, and the NASCAR Foundation’sdonation of $100,000 will fund scholarships tothe academy.

It could well be that when Tony Stewart’scareer is over, one of his biggest legacieswill be what he did for dirt racing.
Since he came to NASCAR, he’s often spo-ken kind words about the dirt-racing worldwhere he spent many of his formative yearsand where he still races as often as possible.
Then in 2004, he bought one of the mostfamous dirt tracks in America, EldoraSpeedway in Rossburg, Ohio. The next yearhe launched the Prelude to the Dream atEldora, a charity event in which top driversfrom NASCAR and other forms of motor-sports compete in Late Model cars.
Now he’s bringing the Camping WorldTruck Series to his track, marking the firsttime a major NASCAR series has raced ondirt since Richard Petty won a GrandNational race on the half-mile track on theNorth Carolina State Fairgrounds inRaleigh, N.C., in 1970.
The trucks will run at Eldora onWednesday night, July 24. That date is justbefore the Sprint Cup race at nearbyIndianapolis Motor Speedway, and it shouldresult in a good many Cup drivers in thestarting field, especially since the Prelude ison hiatus this year.
“I think the race itself is going to be prettyexciting,” Stewart said on a NASCAR tele-conference. “We’ve seen what the Prelude tothe Dream has done in the past, bringing indrivers that weren’t accustomed to runningon dirt, how quickly they adapt to it.
“I think with a little bit more favorableconditions we’ll be able to give the truckseries a surface that’s going to be really, real-
ly competitive, very, very wide, at the sametime going to give these guys an opportunityto learn something that’s a little bit differentto them …
“It’s going to be a very historic day forNASCAR and definitely for EldoraSpeedway.”
NASCAR and its safety experts havedetermined that SAFER barriers, usuallyrequired at any track that hosts the topthree series, won’t be needed at Eldora, butsome safety improvements are planned.
“We don’t have to add SAFER barriers, butwe are going to be making changes to the exitsand entrances to the pit areas,” Stewart said.“There will be some changes structural insidethe track, but all for the safety obviously.”
The format for the race has yet to bedetermined, but NASCAR vice presidentSteve O’Donnell said it’s possible that therace will be run like a big dirt-racing event.
“I think what is fair to say is we are look-ing at how races are competed at dirt trackshistorically with heat races or last-chanceraces,” O’Donnell said. “I think we’re veryinterested in looking at that.”
After a recent test session involvingStewart and Austin Dillon, Stewart said hedoesn’t foresee any big changes to the trucksthemselves to make the transition frompavement to dirt.
“Literally, all we had to do was take thesplitters off the front of the trucks,” he said.“With pavement tracks, and we do it in theNationwide Series, the Cup Series and theTruck Series, determining how close you canget the nose of the vehicle to the ground is
very, very important.“With it being a dirt surface, those splitters
can dig into the ground. Just a simple changeof removing the splitter seemed to be enoughof a change to keep that from happening.”
Stewart, who usually competes in eventsat his track when possible, said he’s not sureabout this one. His first priority is makingsure the race goes off without a hitch, andhe’ll likely be dealing with a much largercrowd than usual. The track capacity now isabout 20,000, but temporary seats are anoption if advance ticket sales warrant them.
“Part of me definitely wants to be in atruck there and competing,” he said. “At thesame time, as a track owner I feel a lot ofresponsibility to make sure everything isgoing as planned and doing everything wecan to ensure a great show.”
The race is one of 22 next season for theTruck Series. The other major change is theaddition of a race at Canadian TireMotorsports Park in Ontario on Sept. 1, thesame weekend as the Nationwide and SprintCup series races at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
In the past, the trucks were part of theLabor Day weekend schedule at AMS, butthis year the track will host a winged sprintcar event for the Fayetteville, Ga.-basedUnited Sprint Car Series on Friday night inaddition to pole qualifying for the Sprint Cuprace and a major fan event.
Track president Ed Clark said that whilethe trucks put on a good show at AMS, he’sexcited about the new lineup.
“It’ll be a good, compact program, and it’lloffer a lot for fans,” Clark said.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — With an agreement nearly in place to have the Buff alo Bills continue playing an annual home game in Toronto beyond this season, Rogers Communi-cations executives are confi -dent this north-of-the-border experiment can succeed.Just not at any ticket price.Aft er having diffi culty sell-ing out the fi rst six games — including two during the preseason — organizers have drastically reduced ticket prices.Th e average price for a ticket for Buff alo's ''home'' game against the Seattle Seahawks on Dec. 16 in Toronto will be $99. Th at's down from about $160 in 2008, when the series began.
''I really think the thing that impacted this thing negatively in the past is price-point on tickets,'' Greg Albrecht, the series' newly appointed execu-tive director, said Monday. ''In all of our marketing, that's what we hammered home was ticket-pricing has been reduced, not because the product on the fi eld is any worse or better, it's because we were not aligned with the rest of the NFL teams.''Albrecht said the Toronto se-ries average ticket is still about $17 above the NFL average, which he believes is acceptable because the game is a once-a-year event. It's still a marked drop from the fi rst year, when prices ranged from $99-$275. Th is year, they range from $48-$225.

As for Johnson, he's still ex-periencing tightness in his left hamstring. He's expected to miss practice time this week, though Johnson remains confi dent he can play through the injury.''I'm not worried too much,'' said Johnson, who has fi ve touchdowns and leads the team with 55 catches and 705 yards. ''I know I'll be out there on Sunday, even if it was worse than what it is now.''Johnson, who's also been bothered by a nagging groin injury, felt his hamstring stiff en aft er scoring on a 13-yard catch early in the third quarter in a 34-18 win over Jacksonville on Sunday.Wood and Hairston were also hurt during the game.On the bright side, No. 2 re-ceiver Donald Jones is expected to return aft er being held out Sunday with a calf injury.Th e Bills (5-7) remain on the fringes of the AFC playoff hunt in preparing to host the Rams (5-6-1).Th e injuries to Wood and Hairston leave the Bills with one backup lineman, tackle Th omas Welch. Th e team is expected to sign another lineman before returning to practice on Wednesday.Shortly aft er Gailey said the Bills were preparing to free up a roster spot to add a lineman, the team announced it had released veteran linebacker Kirk Morrison. Th e eighth-year player had proven to be the odd-man out aft er being
listed inactive for all 12 games this season.Th e Bills re-signed Morri-son to a two-year, $4 million contract in March to provide them an experienced backup behind starter Nick Barnett. It was a disappointing fi nish to Morrison's two years in Buff alo. Aft er spending fi ve seasons as a starter in Oak-land and one in Jacksonville, Morrison appeared in just 14 games — all as a backup — with the Bills.Buff alo's re-shuffl ed off ensive line will feature Sam Young taking over for Hairston, and right guard Kraig Urbik expected to shift to center. Th at means David Snow is expected to take over at right guard. Snow is an undraft ed rookie out of Texas who opened this season on Buf-falo's practice squad.For Wood, the knee injury
is the latest setback for the second of Buff alo's two 2009 fi rst-round draft picks.He missed the fi nal seven games of last season aft er requiring surgery to repair a torn right knee ligament. Wood also missed the fi nal six games of his rookie season aft er breaking two bones in his left leg.Wood said he won't require surgery because the injury is to his MCL. And he hasn't ruled out the possibility of returning to play in the fi nal two games of the season.Wood was hurt with under 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter. He was blocking a Jaguars player, when defen-sive lineman Jeremy Mincey dived into his leg while attempting to tackle running back Fred Jackson.Knowing that he was hurt, Wood was so frustrated by
being injured yet again that he stayed in for one more play before alerting the trainers.''I was in disbelief,'' Wood said. ''I was in denial that I got hurt. So I just kept paying because I was like, 'Th ere's no way I'm staying down on this fi eld. Th ere's no way this is happening again.'''He credited the knee brace he now wears as preventing what could have been a more seri-ous injury.Wood was relieved to know the injury wasn't major, because he wasn't looking forward to spending yet another long off season recu-perating as he did last year. Wood wasn't fully cleared for practice at the start of train-ing camp, and was eventually eased in at center.''It's just stupid stuff that keeps happening. I played 49 straight games in college and never got banged up,'' said Wood, who played at Louisville.''Maybe my luck ran out then.''NOTES: Gailey said CB/return specialist Leodis McKelvin's stiff back is feeling better aft er he was forced to leave Sun-day's game in the fi rst quarter. ... Gailey said there's a fear veteran DE Chris Kelsay's neck injury could be season-ending. Kelsay has missed three of the past four games since tearing a ligament. He was spotted wearing a neck brace on Mon-day. ... CB Aaron Williams (right knee) has a chance to return this week aft er missing four games.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Th e word ''playoff s'' isn't being men-tioned oft en around the St. Louis Rams' training facility unless asked by an outsider.''Th is team is focused on Buf-falo. It's our next opponent,'' coach Jeff Fisher said Monday at his weekly media gathering at Rams Park. ''Th ere's too much that could happen right now. I don't even know what the record is of some teams in the division. So, we just go play.''Th e Rams have made them-selves into a playoff con-tender — albeit an outside one — with two consecutive divisional victories. Th eir 16-13 overtime win against San Francisco on Sunday comes a week aft er winning at Arizona and leaves them as the only NFC West squad undefeated against division opponents with one game to go.St. Louis (5-6-1, 4-0-1) would need to leapfrog four teams to make the postseason, includ-ing the Seattle Seahawks, who host the Rams the fi nal week-end of the regular season. Th is newfound hope of extending the season comes on the heels of a fi ve-game stretch during which St. Louis went 0-4-1
and fell to 3-6-1.''Regardless of whether we've won or lost the week before, our focus has gone on to the next week and that's exactly what we're going to continue to do,'' said quarterback Sam Bradford, who completed 26 of 39 passes for 221 yards against San Francisco. ''Our focus now is going to Buff alo and getting another win.''Fisher said that despite the positive results the past two weeks it matters little if his team doesn't get a victory at Buff alo. Th e Rams have won just one road game and they followed up a 24-24 tie at San Francisco with a lackluster 27-13 home loss to the New York Jets.
Th e lack of consistency is one reason the Rams aren't talking about making the playoff s for the fi rst time since 2004.It's been a long road since. Th ey went 29-83 without a winning season from 2005-2011, with their best fi nish coming in 2006 at 8-8 when the won their fi nal three games. A victory Sunday will give St. Louis a non-losing record this late in the regular season for the fi rst time since then.''It feels pretty good,'' running back Steven Jackson said. ''We have a lot of room to grow, but the one thing about this team that we learned about the personality of it that guys are going to continue to fi ght.
Guys are going to continue to bring their 'A' game despite what it looks like, despite what people may think. Th is group of men believe that we can compete at a high level.''Fisher said he likes the growth of his young team, but would like to see more from his of-fense in the fi nal three games of the season.Th e off ense has struggled scoring this season and the Rams needed two defensive scores - a fumble returned for a touchdown and a safety - and two fi eld goals from beyond 50 yards to get past the 49ers. Fisher gave credit to San Francisco's defense, ranked second in the NFL for total defense. He also readily off ered up the need for the of-fense to provide some breath-ing room for the defense.''We'd like to think we'd end up with balance in the game. We'll score points and play good defense. Th at was a situation (Sunday) where we found a way to win a game against a good team under dif-fi cult circumstances,'' he said. ''But off ensively, we need to pick things up here. We made plays in the passing game. Sam played very well against a diffi cult defense but we need more balance and more chunks and more scoring.''
Once considered a possible "gimme-game" in the preseason has now turned into a meaningful game. Sam Bradford and the St. Louis Rams have won two in a row and have a decent shot at the playoffs still if they can keep winning. (AP Photo)

TOLEDO, Ohio — The St. Bo-naventure women's basketball team (4-5) fell to the Toledo Rockets (6-1) 59-45 in the finals of the inaugural Toledo Glass City Tournament on Sunday afternoon. The Bonnies would start this one with a new starting lineup for the first time this season. The combination of Alaina Walker, Doris Ortega, Ashley Zahn, Jordan McGee and CeCe Dixon had started all eight games to this point in the season. With Ortega out due to illness and Dixon not starting for disciplinary reasons, it opened the door for freshmen Katie Healy and Emily Michael to make their first career starts.Michael certainly made the most of her opportunity as did Hannah Little who saw increased time for the short-handed Bonnies.
Michael scored the first points of the night for the Bonnies, tying the game 2-2. Toledo stormed ahead 7-2 before the Bonnies went on 5-0 run of their own to tie it at seven. To-ledo then went on yet another 5-0 run to capture a 12-7 lead and never allowed the Brown and White to so much as tie the score the rest of the way.With 7:22 remaining in the first half, Michael drilled a three to cut the Toledo lead to just one, 16-15. But from there the Rockets used a 14-4 run to close out the half with a 30-19
lead as the teams headed for the locker rooms.At the break it was the fresh-man Emily Michael leading the Bonnies with six points while Toledo's Lecretia Smith had nine. Inma Zanoguera and Yolanda Richardson each added six. Bonnies fresh-man Hannah Little took full advantage of her role increase and grabbed a career-best six rebounds in the first half.In the second half Toledo came out firing on all cylin-ders and really put the game away quickly. The Rockets had
opened up a 21 point lead by the 16:04 mark. With Walker, Michael and Little leading the way, the Bonnies managed to cut the lead down to 13 with 4:40 to play but that was as close as they would come. Toledo picked up their sixth win with a 59-45 victory.The Bonnies will be back on the road on Wednesday (Dec. 5) when they head to Buffalo for a meeting with the Bulls at 7 p.m.GAME NOTES: Alaina Walker was named to the All-Tournament Team follow-ing her 15-point, 8-rebound performance on Saturday and 11-point, 5-rebound afternoon Sunday. Michael, a Clayton, Ohio native scored a team, game and career-best 13 points in a career high 34 minutes in the loss. Hannah Little scored a career best nine points and grabbed a career-high nine rebounds in a career high 25 minutes of action.

TORONTO — The Roches-ter Americans and Toronto Marlies met for the second time in as many nights Saturday evening at Ricoh Coliseum, where the Amerks dropped a 3-2 overtime decision to the Marlies in the back-end of a home-and-home series between the North Division rivals.Toronto’s Nazem Kadri scored a pair of goals, including the game-winner just 1:06 into the extra session for the home-town Marlies, who improved to 3-0-0-0 against Rochester this season with the win. To-ronto netminder Ben Scrivens got the nod again for the Marlies, fi n-ishing with 36 saves on 38 shots to earn his seventh win of the campaign.Amerks defense-men Brayden McNabb and Alex Biega each scored their second goals of the season, while David Leggio stopped 32 of 35 shots he faced in his fi ft h consecutive start between the pipes. Marcus Foligno assisted on both Rochester goals, snapping a two-game scoring drought to give the second-year pro four helpers over his last fi ve games.The Amerks scored first in the contest with a power play goal at 6:49 of the opening period. Foligno took a pass from T.J. Brennan and sent it back to the blueline, where McNabb wound up and fired a slap-shot that made its way through traffic and past Scrivens for the goal. For McNabb, it was his second goal of the season.As the teams traded power-play chances in the latter
stages of the second period, Toronto got on the board at the 15-minute mark. Skat-ing with a man-advantage, the Marlies moved the puck around the zone, and Keith Aucoin sent a long pass from the left half-wall to the far post, where Kadri one-timed it in for the goal for his fi rst of the night. Former Amerk Mike Kostka also assisted on the tying goal.Th e Amerks quickly regained their lead just over a minute later. Biega pounced on a loose puck in the neutral zone and rushed into the Toronto end on the right wing side. When he reached the top of the face-off circle, the defen-seman released a quick wrist
shot that got a piece of Scrivens’ glove
and ricocheted into the net for Biega’s second goal of the season.
Toronto once again tied the
game when Paul Ranger scored at 15:12 of the third period to make it a 2-2 game. Ranger gained control of the puck along the right wing boards, skated out to the face-off dot and put a wrist shot just underneath the cross bar for the goal to push the game to overtime.Kadri would seal the victory for the Marlies just over a minute into the extra frame as he converted Matt Frat-tin’s cross-ice pass and sent a low shot between Leggio’s glove and the near post to give Toronto the 3-2 win.The Amerks return home on Friday, Dec. 7 as the Adiron-dack Phantoms journey west to The Blue Cross Arena. The 7:05 matchup will be the third of four get-togethers between the intrastate rivals and will be carried live on Sports 1280 WHTK.
By John MarshallAssociated Press
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Phoenix Coyotes goalie Mike Smith lowered into a crouch as the odd-man rush devel-oped in front of him.Th e puck went to the left wing and he followed, lodging his skate against the post. A one-touch pass sent the puck across the front of Smith's crease and he slid over in a fl ash, whipping his right leg out for a sprawling pad save, setting off a collective 'Oh!' from fans lining the glass behind him.NHL players on the ice, competing hard, fans cheering them on — it almost felt like a real game.Of course, it was only a scrimmage in front of a couple hundred people at the Coyotes' practice facility, but as the NHL lockout drags on, fans — and the players — will take anything they can get.''Th is is awesome,'' said Jane Pittet of Scottsdale, who left work to catch Th ursday's workout at the Ice Den. ''I wish it were the real thing, but this is fun to watch.''
Th e Phoenix Coyotes have been holding informal work-outs at their practice rink since the NHL lockout started and this week were joined by more than a dozen players from around the league for what amounts to a lockout minicamp.Pittsburgh star Sidney Crosby, San Jose forward Patrick Marleau, Buff alo goalie Ryan Miller and Dallas forward Brendan Morrow are among the players who have made the desert the hockey destina-tion this week by skating with
the Coyotes.Players from teams across the country have gotten together for workouts in their home cities, but this week is a chance to face a step up in competition and play against someone other than their teammates, not to mention feel at least a little pressure playing with people watching.''It was fun to be out there and, OK, I've actually go to stop this puck,'' Miller said. ''I kind of tried to pretend I was back in front of the home
crowd and had to make a stop, so it was good.''Th e NHL lockout reaches 75 days last Th ursday and had already led to the cancella-tion of more than 400 games, including the New Year's Day Winter Classic and All-Star weekend.Federal mediators joined the talks between the NHL and players this week, but the sides appear to still be far apart.''I thought I knew what to expect, but here we are, it's almost December and we're talking in Phoenix,'' said Miller, who lives in Los Ange-les and has been working out with Kings and Ducks players.''It's very frustrating that we can't have a true partnership in the sense that the game was doing well. If it needed a tweak or two, we were more than willing to listen, but it seems everyone's on guard and no one trusts the other party. It's been going like that for years. It's tough.''Camps like the one this week will help them vent some of the frustration, but it's just not the same as playing in games that matter.

TORONTO (AP) — Canadian businesses near NHL arenas are taking a hit because of the lockout.According to a leading credit and debit card processor, spending is down more than 11 percent from a year ago on game day.Th e report by Moneris found that business is off nearly 35 percent for bars near arenas in Winnipeg, Vancouver, To-ronto, Montreal and Calgary. Moneris surveyed the game-day spending of about 750 of its customers in the hockey host cities.Restaurants are taking a nearly 11 percent hit, with fast-food outlets down almost 7 percent compared to 2011. Edmonton is facing the largest impact, a 27 percent plunge. Spending near Montreal's Bell Centre is down more than 21 percent, with a 17 percent drop in business near Toronto's Air Canada Centre.Merchants away from arenas, however, are getting a boost from the 11-week dispute. Moneris fi nds spending is up 5.4 percent.
''While overall spending at establishments near hockey arenas is down, it would appear that Canadians are simply choosing to stick closer to home,'' said Jim Baumgart-ner, the company's president and CEO.Molson Coors Brewing Co. and owners of the La Cage aux Sports chain say the labor dis-pute has reduced revenues. As a league sponsor, the brewer said it will seek fi nancial re-dress from the NHL once the dispute is resolved.Th e Montreal Canadiens won't discuss the fi nancial impact of the lockout, but Canadiens Vice President Donald Beauchamp noted that all 100 employees, includ-ing President Geoff Molson, have taken a 20 percent pay cut by working four days a week. Some 1,000 part-time employees who normally work during home games now work only during other events at the arena.Th e Moneris report tracked only food and drink spend-ing, but the lockout is hurting hockey merchandise vendors and parking lot owners near arenas as well.La Capsule sportive, which sells licensed NHL clothing in
Quebec, has been in creditor protection since Oct. 19 as its debts grew in part due to the lockout. Th e chain hopes to survive by closing 60 percent of its 13 stores.Douglas Porter, deputy chief economist for BMO Nes-bitt Burns, estimates that a canceled NHL season would trim just 0.1 percent from the gross domestic product because people would be spending their hockey money elsewhere.A University of Montreal professor specializing in sports business said that while the lockout is hurting workers and businesses near arenas, the broader fi nancial eff ect is minimal.''Th e net loss, if there's a loss, it's very small. People make a big fuss about it but certainly this impact is quite small in the aggregate,'' Michel Poite-vin said in an interview.''Of course, we can fi nd some losers from the lockout. It's harder to fi nd the winners because it's a lot more dif-fused — people can spend it anywhere. But I don't think overall there's a big impact.''Th e lockout is also hurting lotteries that off er sports bet-
ting and provincial govern-ments that earn millions of dollars in lottery profi ts.Loto-Quebec says it is losing about $500,000 a week in revenues without its top sell-ing sport, while the Quebec government is out a quarter of that amount, or more than $1.4 million since the confl ict started.Th e Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp. said its sports revenues have been cut by 12 percent. Hockey betting gen-erated $72 million, or more than 26 percent of the $270 million wagered on sports lotteries last fi scal year. Th e Ontario government receives about 25 to 28 percent of revenues.During the 2004 lockout, Ontario lost $25 million in sports betting revenues while Quebec's revenues dropped by $17 million from $46 million.''While we acknowledge that there's been some impact on our business, we appreci-ate the fact that it's probably been a greater impact on a lot of either businesses and individuals that really rely on the sport and the industry for their livelihood,'' Ontario Lot-tery and Gaming spokesman Don Pister said.

Frustrated fans have been calling for Foles to replace Vick since he had an impres-sive preseason playing against backups and guys who didn't make NFL rosters. His fi rst 2 1/2 games didn't suggest he could be the team's long-term answer, but Foles played well against the Cowboys.The Eagles are facing a critical offseason that could shape the organization for years to come. First, owner Jeffrey Lurie must decide whether to bring Reid back for a 15th season.Whoever coaches the team, however, has to start with fi nding a franchise QB. If Foles stays healthy the rest of the way, he'll have seven starts under his belt. Th at's a decent sample for an evaluation, though not a defi nite indica-tion of his potential.Th e last time the Eagles had such debate over their quarter-back of the future was in 1997. Bobby Hoying, a third-round pick like Foles, had a strong start. He threw for 835 yards, six TDs, one interception and had a 60.4 completion per-centage and 98.0 passer rating while going 2-0-1 in his fi rst three starts.It was all downhill from there.Hoying went 1-9 in his next 10 starts and lasted just two more seasons, throwing just fi ve passes, aft er leaving Phila-delphia following the 1998
season. Donovan McNabb was selected with the No. 2 overall pick by Reid in his fi rst year here in 1999. McNabb was the solution for a decade, leading the Eagles to fi ve NFC cham-pionship games and one Super Bowl loss.Kevin Kolb was supposed to be McNabb's successor, but Vick stole the show with his sensational play in 2010.Now, though, Vick appears on his way out.Vick had a remarkable season two years ago, leading the Eagles to an NFC East title, earning a spot as the starting quarterback in the Pro Bowl and winning the AP Come-back Player of the Year award.Vick then was rewarded with a $100 million contract in August 2011. Only $35.5 mil-lion of that deal is guaranteed money and Vick is due to make $15.5 million in 2013. He certainly won't get that as a backup.NOTES: Reid fi red defensive line coach Jim Washburn and replaced him with Tommy Brasher, who served in that role with the Eagles in 1985 and from 1999-2005. ... RB LeSean McCoy is in stage three of his concussion rehab. McCoy has missed two straight games. ... Reid hinted that there could be changes in the secondary. Th e Eagles have allowed 16 TD passes and have no intercep-tions in the last six games.
NEW QB continued from pg 4Th e reduction comes at a time when the series is set to expire. Th e game against the Seahawks is the fi nale of the fi ve-year deal reached between the Bills and Rogers, the Toronto-based communi-cations company giant.Albrecht said negotiations to renew the series are nearly complete.''I think we still have to dot a few I's and cross a few T's. I think it's more administrative at this point,'' he said. ''But we're obviously confi dent that we'd like to move this thing forward.''Th e Bills are in favor of extending the series, because it provides them a foothold in Canada's largest city and fi nancial capital. With Toronto only about a two-hour drive from Buff alo, the Bills have also been able to lure Toronto-area fans to attend games at Orchard Park.
Th e team estimates that 15 percent of its season-ticket base is from southern Ontario.Th e formal announcement of a series extension is not expected until early next year. One holdup is the Bills are in negotiations with state and county offi cials to renew their lease at Ralph Wilson Sta-dium, which expires in July.Progress has been made in lease negotiations since stalling in late summer. But talks are temporarily on hold because New York offi cials have spent the past month directing much of their atten-tion on the lasting eff ects of Superstorm Sandy.Rogers agreed to pay the Bills $78 million to play eight games (including three preseason) at the downtown domed 54,000-seat Rogers Centre. It's unknown whether the entire amount was paid aft er a sched-uling confl ict in August led to
Rogers having the Bills take back a preseason game that was set to be played in Toronto.An extension of the series is expected to be similar to the previous deal, with Buff alo playing one annual regular-season game in Toronto, though it's unclear how many — if any preseason games — will be included this time.Despite enduring numer-ous growing pains, Rogers remains committed to making the series work.''I think it would be silly for us to say, 'We're not going to entertain moving this thing forward,' aft er quite honestly some of the pain that we've faced in the past years of learning,'' Albrecht said. ''We have our learning now, and I think this game will prove we're on the right path.''Albrecht, who took over the series in August, has stopped the previous practice of giving
away tickets in order to draw larger crowds. He's also worked on turning the game into more of an entertainment event.He's already scored a coup by signing South Korean rap sensation PSY to perform dur-ing half time. PSY's ''Gangnam Style'' has become YouTube's most-viewed video, generating more than 840 million views.''I think just being topical and being fun: Th at's what this whole thing is all about,'' Albrecht said. ''We're opening it to not just die-hard football fans, but opening it up to people who might be on the fence right now, or folks who want to spend an aft ernoon wanting to have a good time.''Albrecht has a broad back-ground in overseeing sports and entertainment projects, including the 2010 Vancouver Games and two Canadian Football League Grey Cup championships.

Flowing at about 200 cubic feet per second, Cattaraugus Creek is about as low and clear as it gets for this time of year. However, it is easily the best option of the Lake Erie streams. Steelhead are spread out in Cattaraugus Creek, so move around to fi nd ac-tive fi sh. All other Lake Erie tributaries are very low and clear, with steelhead confi ned to the larger pools. It is best to move stealthily and use light fl uorocarbon tippets, small baits and small hooks when fi shing clear conditions.
Lake Erie steelhead common-ly hit natural baits like egg sacs and worms, fl ies such as egg imitations, streamers and bugger patterns, and lures like minnow-type stickbaits and in-line spinners. Th e fi sh passage project at the Westfi eld Water Works dam on Chautauqua Creek has been completed. Th is fi sh passage gives steelhead access to an additional 10 miles of stream that runs through a deep, wooded gorge. Th ere are about 7 miles of public fi shing rights easements (PFR) over that stretch of stream. See the Chautauqua Creek PFR Map on the DEC’s website to view these public access areas.
Chautauqua LakeMuskellunge season is closed as of Nov. 30, most boats are packed away and many set their sights on ice fi shing season. In the meantime, anglers can fi nd good yellow perch and sunfi sh action in nearshore areas of 8-16 feet of water. Minnows, worms and small ice fi shing jigs tipped with waxworms work well. Regular black bass season also closes on Nov. 30, but anglers can still target bass by catch and release only, artifi cial lures only.
Upper Niagara RiverMuskellunge, tiger muskel-lunge and regular black bass seasons are closed on the upper river as of November
30. Anglers may still target black bass on the upper river, however bass fi shing is now by catch and release only, artifi cial lures only. Cast-ing spoons or drift ing egg sacs from Bird Island Pier and Broderick Park usually produces some trout catches at this time of year.If you need more fi shing information or would like to contribute to the fi shing report, please call or e-mail Mike Todd (716-851-7010; [email protected]) or Jim Markham (716-366-0228; [email protected]).

Below is a comparison of the top five golfers on the PGA Tour money list in 2000 and 2012. We’ve calculated each player’s earnings per round and, assuming a five-hour round, his earnings per hour.
Rory McIlroy leads this year with $125,749 per round and $25,150 per hour. Tiger has suffered a drop in his hourly rate of $6,830, and Vijay Singh made only $4,950 per hour in 2000, hardly enough to feed his family by PGA Tour standards.
Is it any wonder that sales of those tiny yellow plastic clubs for 4-year-olds are at an all-time high? If you’re going to nudge your child toward a sport, would it be golf or, say, badminton? Congratulations if you chose golf; you may now start your search for that condo in Florida.
Focus on results
At 23, Rory McIlroy already has the beginnings of back problems, and his unusual pelvis recoil after he hits the ball is not helpful in this regard. In a May article in Golf Magazine, I outlined a power move all long hitters use called the pelvic pistol. I used McIlroy as the model, but he is the only player I’ve ever seen reverse his hips after impact. His hips stop to fire at the target as they should (the pistol), but then they start rotating back toward the address position, a move that ratchets up the sheer force and begs the question, “What will his back be like 10 years from now?”
Insider Takeaway: Maybe Nike should offer him a five-year deal instead of 10, just to be on the safe side.
Rory’s back trouble
Match your swing to your physique

THE GOLF DOCTORGOLF BY THE NUMBERS
TEEING OFF
InsiderGolfBy T.J. TOMASI
WHAT SCIENCE SAYSIT’S GOOD FOR YOUR GAME
QUOTE OF THE WEEK
At a recent Top 100 Teachers’ retreat, guest speaker Dr. Peter Mackay, a special consultant to the Titleist Performance Institute, outlined what he considers to be the safest golf swing for the back and shoulders. His choice is a swing resem-bling that of 50-year-old Rocco Mediate, winner of $17 million on the PGA Tour.
Mediate had a bad back, but as a result of changing his golf swing in 2005 to a more body-friendly movement pattern, his back is no longer a problem. The key to Mediate’s success is what I call the “moving coil,” a swing motion that is more around your spine and causes far less stress on the back than the standard swing. Additionally, al-lowing the head to release at impact lets you stand up into the “I” finish in your follow-through — another back saver.
You can also reduce back strain by letting your left heel rise and your lower body turn with your upper body. Move the ball farther back at address and close your stance more than the norm while strengthening both your right- and left-hand grip positions. This will produce a lower, hooking ball flight that will give you more yardage, so you need to aim a little more to the right than normal.
Make the ChangeThere comes a time when every golfer
should change swings, and it should be done carefully, using a detailed blueprint. The question is when to make the switch. You’ll know it’s time when some combina-tion of the following are present:
1. Your in-swing posture changes as you struggle to swing the club up and around behind you.
2. Your ball flight becomes erratic and you lose distance.
3. You feel like you’re playing “old golf” as the young lions blow it 30 yards by you off the tee.
4. You have aches and pains in the morn-ing that you didn’t used to have.
5. You get tired on the last few holes.6. You find yourself riding in the cart
more than you used to.7. You have trouble seeing the ball land.8. Your “touch” and ability to judge dis-
tances eludes you for long stretches of time.9. You’re consistently missing more greens
and getting it up and down fewer times. 10. Your scoring range widens so much
that you can’t tell within 10 strokes what you might shoot on any given day.
11. On your good days, you feel and play like your younger self, but on your bad days, it’s the worst it’s ever been.
The upshot of all these symptoms is that your body and your swing no longer match, and the solution is to get them matched up again.

Simple truth about the golf swing
Whole-body warm-up is best
BIRDIES AND BOGEYS
Q: You wrote something on your website about how the swing isn’t that simple, but that’s not what I hear from some of the teaching pros. Why do a lot of them say they can make the swing simple? — Rod, Burlington, Vt.
A: Would you go to a teacher who claimed to make the subject compli-cated? Probably not. There is so much information out there about the swing, and the experts don’t agree on what’s what, so the student, who just wants to get better, is often confused. Enter the “simple” marketing strategy.
Also, the Madison Avenue types have taken to portraying good teachers as a cross between Andy Griffith’s Sheriff Taylor and the “Deli Lama,” the guy behind the counter in the delicatessen who knows the true mean-ing of golf. But talk for 20 minutes to a good teacher and you’ll find no rube, unless rube is called for.
Of course, you might also ask Captain Simple, “If the golf swing is so darn simple, what do I need you for?”
“I think Tiger Woods’ im-pact was minimal barring the few days he was here. It cost heavily and it changed nothing, fundamentally.”
— Peter Thompson, 83-year-old elder statesman of Australian golf and five-time winner of the British Open, on the benefit of paying Tiger Woods seven-
figure fees to play in Australia.
The great Annika Sorenstam knows how to adjust for a downhill lie by moving the ball back and tilting her shoulders to the angle of the slope.
My stance is closed here, with the ball back and my weight toward my toes. I’m aiming right because this one will curve a lot in the direction of the slope, from right to left.
One instructor tells you to swing the club handle, the next teaches that it’s the clubhead you need to focus on. Some teachers tell you to pay attention to your arm swing, while others say you need to concen-trate on the big muscles of the trunk — let the big muscles move the small ones. Still others claim that it’s the impact zone that holds the key to the swing. If you believe this canard, then all the important things you have to think about are at impact.
But according to research done by Shana K. Carpenter and her col-leagues at Iowa State University, all these pros need a mulligan. She says that you should focus on ex-ternal things such as ball flight and hitting the target when you play a game like golf.
When Earl Woods asked the 6-year-old Tiger what he was thinking while he hit, Tiger answered, “I just think about where I want it to go, Daddy.” And Dr. Carpenter agrees:
“Athletic skills are often executed better when learners focus atten-tion externally (e.g., on the trajec-tory of the ball after a tennis serve), rather than internally (e.g., on the position of their arm). Relative to internal focus, external focus led to faster acquisition and better main-tenance of speeded responses over the retention interval.”
So by using external focus, not only does the initial performance of the skill improve, but your reten-tion of the skill on a long-term basis is superior.
Insider Takeaway: Thirteen years ago I wrote “The 30-Second Golf Swing,” an entire book that shows golfers exactly how to take advantage of learning’s dynamic duo — initial performance and long-term retention. For more informa-tion, visit www.tjtomasi.com.
Most golfers use some kind of warm-up routine before they tee off. They take practice swings, put a club behind their back and stretch or swing two clubs. It’s a good habit to have because you definitely need to warm up the muscles you’re going to use. But while upper-body warm-ups are common, the lower body is often neglected, especially the hamstrings and quadriceps.
The hamstrings are a group of three muscles on the back of the leg, run-ning from the hip joint to the knee joint, that flex or curl the leg. They play an important role in rotating the legs as you swing, so if they’re not ready to go when you are, you’re going to have a “dead-legged” swing in which you use only your upper body. It’s a recipe for hitting a big slice off the first tee.
Warm up your hamstrings with this exercise: Steady yourself with a golf club and curl your leg toward your rear end as much as you can, then hold it for 10 seconds. Do 10 repetitions for each leg.
Insider Takeaway: A cold muscle is a “slow” muscle and can be easily injured, so institute an equal opportunity warm-up routine including both upper and lower body parts.
Next week: Exercises for your quadriceps.
AWKWARD LIESThe first order of business when
you arrive at your golf ball is to ex-amine your lie, i.e., the characteris-tics of how your ball is sitting. Your lie dictates the kind of shot you can play, so part of being a skillful player is “reading” the lie and then being able to execute the required shot.
There are four basic types of un-even lies:
1. Ball above your feet;2. Ball below your feet;3. Downhill slope;4. Uphill slope. Each of these has a predict-
able ball flight pattern, and the gravitational forces of the hill will challenge your ability to make a balanced golf swing. Simple adjust-ments you make in your setup will compensate for the effect the slope has on your body.
Keep these effects of uneven lies in mind:
1. The ball follows the direction of the slope.
2. You’ll lose your balance down the slope.
3. The bottom of your swing arc is altered by the slope.
4. The path and plane of your swing are altered by the slope.
Although uneven lies are oppo-
sites, there are adjust-ments that are stan-dard for all. In general, protect your balance by anchoring yourself into the hill, against the pull of gravity. Angle your shoul-ders to match the slope so you can swing with the contour of the hill.
The slope causes changes in your swing arc, and you need to adjust your ball position accordingly. Move the ball back on a right-to-left slope, forward on a left-to-right slope.
And finally, opening or closing your stance will neutralize the ef-fect of the slope by returning your hips to level. Close your stance for a right-to-left slope, and open it for the opposite.
Once you’ve made the correct ad-justments in your setup, you need to do only two more things: The first is to make a smooth, three-quarter swing for maximum control, and the second is to focus on the target.
These are general guidelines; next week we’ll outline the specifics of awkward lies.
