Heralding the Holidays for 28 YearsFirst Covenant’s ‘Living Christmas Tree’ Takes Th e Stage Nov. 30- Dec. 2

By Patricia PihlManaging Editor

In Jamestown the Christmas season is offi cially underway when the Living Christmas Tree opens each year at First Covenant Church. Th e event is the Christ-mas story told in the majesty of song and pageantry and some-thing the Jamestown community has come to know and love as a favorite holiday tradition for the last 28 years. Th is year’s music presentation, “An Evening in December,” includes sixty-fi ve singers who will take the sanctuary stage for the performance, standing on the tightly fi tted scaff olding to form the singing tree. Event co-chair Kaye Young said there are also thirty musicians that will also be performing in the orchestra. “Th is year, there is a barbershop quartet, a children’s choir, and a special piece, “Th e Little Drum-mer Boy.” Brian Bogey is director of the production again this year, and around 1,500 attend the four performances each year, accord-ing to Young.In addition, she estimates that about 200 volunteers are involved in making the event a reality, and there are also people from twenty

diff erent area churches that con-tribute to the production, with ages ranging from 16- 80. “Th ere are always new people as well, who have heard about it and want to be involved,” she says.Living Christmas tree perfor-

mances are found across the country, but according to Young, there is only one other in the Western New York area. Young states, “First Covenant’s is prob-ably the longest-running, most consistent in the area. “Th ere

are diff erent ways of producing it. Ours is unique in that it is a wooden structure built to fi t our church sanctuary… some may not be as dramatic as ours.”

Workers assemble the wooden pieces of the tree.

Members of the Chautauqua County Genealogical Society met recently for their annual holiday gathering, meeting and election of offi cers. Th e group met at the Fredonia American Legion, and was hosted by Legion Commander Walter Sedlmayer. President George Davis called the meeting to order and welcomed all. Th e minutes of the previous meeting, which was a fi eld trip for research, were read by secretary Deborah Kotar. Th e fi nancial report was given by treasurer

Donna Keith. Many snacks

were available for all to enjoy, and extra special cookies were provided by some of the members. Member John Sipos brought some of his historical notebooks of the history of Cassadaga for all to examine. Sipos serves as the Cassadaga Village Historian. Nominating committee chair-man Ruth Nichols read the slate of offi cers for 2013, and asked three times if there were any other nominations from the fl oor. Th e secretary then cast one ballot for all nomina-tions. Elected for president is Walter Sedlmayer of Fredonia, Norman Carlson of Busti for vice president, Deborah Kotar of Cassadaga for secretary and Donna Keith of Dunkirk for treasurer. Wayne Leamer was

thanked for all of his work with the newsletter and will continue to serve as the editor. Current president Davis was thanked for serving his term of offi ce. Th e group was on a recent fi eld trip to Warren, Pa. to the Historical Society, the County Court House and the War-ren Library Research Room. Th anks was extended to Jack Ericson for arranging this fi eld trip, as much research was accomplished by the members that day. Th e Genealogical Society will be on a winter break until the next meeting on Tuesday March 19, 2013 at 6:30 p.m. in the Barker Library in Fredo-nia. New members are always welcome.


Sick one day and home on the couch, the history chan-nel served as background noise until my interest was piqued when the program-ming turned to predictions of Armageddon, natural disasters, disease and pesti-lence. Th e show also looked at many of the prognostica-tors who have predicted the end of the world through-out the ages. Covered were the crackpots, prophets, preachers, seers and surviv-alists.It’s a subject that has captured mankind’s imagi-nation for ages. No doubt end-time prophecies can take detours to “weirds-ville,” and with them almost always come morbid images of death and destruction. In sift ing the prophetic wheat from the chaff , however, there is a lot more to the subject then meets the eye.In theological circles it is formally called eschatol-ogy, or the fulfi llment of biblical prophecy or events concerning the end of the world. Th is particular program, however, looked at all theories and detailed how people have been duped throughout his-tory, selling possessions or residing in remote locations waiting upon the intended day. Some, like the obscure modern-day heaven’s gate cult, took their own lives, drinking tainted kool-aid while waiting for the mother ship to arrive. However, there were also more creditable sources, and parallels to what many feel is the global warming crisis and biblical accounts of incredible heat predicted during the last days. Recent talk of the Mayan calendar ending on De-cember 21, 2012 have led many to believe the date would be the end of the

world. Not that I was going to let it stop my Christ-mas shopping, but it was recently revealed that the Maya believed that the date only indicated an end of one “cycle,” which simply signaled the beginning of another. No discussion of the end of the world would be complete without mention of Nostradamus, the 16th century seer who suppos-edly predicted that the end of the 20th century would be a time of trauma and transition-not unlike many of the devastating events mirrored in the Bible’s book of Revelation.And there was Sir Isaac Newton, the founder of modern physics, who used mathematics and specifi c dates from the book of Daniel to predict that the world would end in 2060- exactly 1,260 years aft er the foundation of the Roman Empire. Interestingly, Newton also predicted the return of the Jews from captivity before the end of time.Here was a man known for his analytical mind and working out the laws of gravity, who was dabbling in what would have been considered heresy at the time. Most major religions have some belief in the end of the earth. However, even those who earnestly look for their savior’s return and the triumph of good over evil should be aware of Mark 13:32 which says “No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” Without professing to know why there is such a fascina-tion with the end of the world, I would like to pro-pose this question: what are we to do with this informa-tion? Unfortunately, I think that for the religious and non-religious, it serves as little more than entertain-ment or intellectual curios-ity. How does it change our lives, and how do we make the most of our days, if indeed the days are short? And to those who will use the information for fear mongering, I say…don’t worry, it’s already tomor-row in Australia.

A group of residents are making sure charitable activity will continue to thrive in the Falconer Region. Recently, they estab-lished the Falconer Region Community Fund with the Chautau-qua Region Community Foundation. Th is fund will be unrestricted in na-ture-meaning the funds for this grants process may be used to benefi t a wide variety of charitable projects or needs. In a letter submitted to the Foundation from the members of the Falconer Region Community Fund Committee, members expressed pride for the region they call home. Th e desire to provide the same opportunities to future generations, led them to create this endowment fund. Maurice Roach, lifelong Falconer resident and owner of Falconer Print-ing and Design, has been a driving force in the

establishment of this fund. “Th is (fund), which will serve the entire region, is important because it looks toward the future and will provide for benevolent activities,” Roach said. Roach, an active participant in many community-based programs, noticed a lack of younger generations becoming involved in these types of organizations. He is hopeful this fund will provide the necessary fi nancial support that orga-nizations such as the Lion’s Club, Rotary Club and Ki-wanis Club provide, if ever they are unable to do so. Th ose interested in making a tax-deductible donation may do so online at crc-fonline.org, or by mailing donations to Th e Falconer Region Community Fund c/o Th e Community Foun-dation, 418 Spring Street, Jamestown, NY, 14701. More than forty residents, all ages and walks of life, attended a meeting on October 24 to discuss the establishment of the fund. Attendees shared stories about what various com-

munity organizations mean to them and how this fund could preserve those “natu-ral jewels” of their com-munity. From this meeting an advisory committee was created to establish criteria for those seeking grants. Th e committee has decided that applicants must either be a non-profi t organiza-tion, church or public entity. Th ese organizations must also be located within the Falconer Central School District. Grants may be awarded to religious or

nonreligious organizations. Grants are not to be made for political purposes or to retire indebtedness of an organization. Applications will become available March 1 and be due on April 1.Th ose inter-ested in applying may do so online at chautauquagrants.org. For more information on contributing to this fund or for questions on apply-ing for a grant, contact the Community Foundation at 661-3390.

Weekly WordKeeping Thoughts Captive

Rev. Tim StahlmanFamily Church Jamestown

www.thenewfamilychurch.com

Dear Pastor, I’m prepar-ing to visit family for Christmas. Unfortunately, it seems that every time we get together, we end up arguing. Do I really have to go?Wow! You pose a very tough question, but be as-sured…God has an answer for you! Let me begin with the obvious. Family can be a potential hotbed of arguments, past hurts, and unresolved issues. It seems that the very things that build a family togetherness can sometimes lead to divi-

sion and confl ict and strife. While it would be wonder-ful if we all had a family like the TV family, the Waltons, more oft en than not, it’s more like the Simpsons! And this is the problem…unrealistic expectations. We can get ourselves into a bad way when we begin to compare our real family with some imagined model of “perfect peace and love.” Disappointment with the way things are can lead to frustration. Frustration can lead to a bad attitude and a bad attitude can lead to ar-

guments and hurt feelings. Not good!Fear not…God has an answer to this situation. 1 Corinthians 13:1-8, better known as the love chapter, tells us that no matter what we are facing, when we make our decisions based on love, we will never fail. Part of walking in God’s kind of love includes “not seeking their own.” Most arguments happen when each person is trying to get their way or “win” an argu-ment. Unfortunately, when someone wins, someone

loses. And this can lead to the ultimate loss…the relationship. Th e question you must ask yourself is “do I want to be right or do I want to be happy?” Is it worth having an argument about politics with fam-ily that you may see only a few times a year? Isn’t it more loving to be quiet and maintain the family peace? As a Pastor, I hear a lot of these situations at this time of year. My spiritual counsel to my fl ock always includes a few recommendations on handling these situations.

First, keep your spiritual bank account full! Keeping in prayer and reading your Bible daily is like making a deposit into the account. When a situation arises, you’ll have something to pull from in order to walk in love. Galatians 6:8-10 tells us that if we sow good works, we will eventually reap good works if we do not lose heart! Next week…more on the holidays.

Th e Bible says in 2 Cor-inthians 10:4-5, “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds; cast-ing down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God and BRINGING INTO CAPTIVITY EV-ERY THOUGHT TO THE OBEDIENCE OF CHRIST.” If we lose the battle in our thought life than negative strongholds, or patterns of thought that act themselves out, will gain control and bring us into destructive living. Much of the trouble that people go through in life could have been pre-

vented if they had taken that initial thought captive and applied the Knowledge of God in its place.God is very interested in our thought life. Psalms 19:14 says, “Let the words of my mouth and the MEDITATIONS of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord my strength and my redeemer.” Oh, if people could just guard their mouths and their thoughts! Our thoughts or meditations must remain pleasing to God. How do we do that? We take every thought captive and keep them obedient to Christ! 2 Corinthians 10:5 requires

that “every thought” should be brought into “captiv-ity”. Th e word captivity is a military termed used to describe the imprisonment of an enemy for the intent of questioning. Have you ever seen those military movies where they capture an enemy and place them under that single light to ask them questions? Why do they do that? Th ey want to fi nd out whether or not that person is a threat. We need to do the same with our thoughts! When a thought races across your mind you need to take that thought captive and fi nd out whether it is a friend or a foe. Ask yourself, “Do

I want this in my life? Is this what God would want? Is this thought a threat to a holy lifestyle?” By do-ing so you are subjecting your thoughts to a screen-ing process. If the thought agrees with Biblical princi-ples then it can stay, if not it must be cast down. How do you cast down a thought? You cannot fi ght a thought with a thought. You must cast it down with words. Proverbs 18:21 says, “Death and life are in the POWER of the tongue; those that love it will eat the fruit thereof.” Th e Bible says that the tongue has POWER over life and death. Th e way we live begins in our

thoughts. When an evil thought comes we must cast it down with the words of our mouth in order in ensure the right kind of living. When a thought tries to exalt itself over the Knowledge of God, I speak to that thought and say, “Th at thought is not obedient to Christ. I cast you down. I refuse to think that way.” Now of course be sure to use discretion. Find a quiet private place to do this. People might think strange things if you are always talking to your thoughts around them!Next Week: Are Christians still sinners?

herring, Swedish meatballs, korv, baked ziti as well as platters of ham, turkey and all the traditional side dishes. Head cook, Mickey Rounds says, “It takes a real team eff ort to get that much

Residents and Staff Prepare for Annual Christmas Party

Th e Th ule Lodge is the Swedish organization in the Jamestown/Bemus Point area, organized 105 years ago. At the time the Swed-ish people were emigrat-ing to the United States, a fraternal organization was formed to help each other. More than 100 years ago, four out of seven people in Jamestown were Swed-ish, working in furniture factories, clothing mills, and the lumber business. Jamestown to this day is still known for the Swedish heritage which helped the city to grow. Th ule Lodge continues to preserve the Swedish heritage through events and activities, along with the Scandinavian Studies program at the Jamestown Community College and the annual three-day Scandinavian Festival in the summer. Recently at the lodge, located at 4123 Pancake Hill Road, past chairman and past New York State district master Edwin Sandberg conducted the election of offi cers for the new year beginning in January. Sandberg reported on the nominating commit-tee, and opened the fl oor for more nominations. Elected for lodge chairman is Jeff rey Anderson, with Susan W. Sipos as the vice chairman. Carolyn Ostrom was elected as the lodge secretary, Donna Sandberg was elected as the fi nancial secretary and Loretta Smith is the treasurer. Diane Shaw

will serve as the chaplain, with Eugene Smith of Ki-antone as the outer guards-man and Don Carlson as the inner guardsman. Fanchon Fuller will serve as the cultural leader, and Donna Johnson and Ber-nice Veights will serve as the mistresses of ceremony. John Sipos will continue as the lodge historian and newspaper correspon-dent. Auditors will be Tom Eckborg, Jerry Erickson, Robert Fuller, and Wayne Nelson. Tim Miller was elected as trustee.

By Daniel MeyerStar Contributing Writer

‘Tis the season for holi-day parties, and with that comes the possibility of an increase in drinking and driving incidents on road-ways here in Chautauqua County.In light of some of the high-profi le cases in West-ern New York that made headlines over the past year – the James Corasanti case in which a jury found the Amherst doctor not guilty of fi ve felonies and guilty of one misdemeanor DWI for an accident that killed an 18-year-old woman imme-diately comes to mind for most – a number of diff er-ent entities are getting the word out about the impor-tance of our society help-ing to reduce the number of driving while impaired incidents that occur in our community. Law enforce-ment offi cials, volunteer organizations and a new

business that provides party-goers a desig-nated driver all have the same idea – get drunk drivers off the road.Also of concern is minors consuming alcohol and driving, hence “zero toler-ance,” which became a law in New York State on November 1, 1996. Th e zero tolerance law is an administrative function of the state’s Department of Motor Vehicles which auto-matically suspends the driver’s licenses of a driver under the age of 21 who has been drinking with a blood alcohol concentrate of .02 or above. Th eir license is suspended for six months on the fi rst off ense and one year or until they reach the age of 21 for subsequent off enses.

Designated Drivers of Buf-falo now off ers a service where they send out a team of uniformed driv-ers to your location to pick you up and drive your vehicle home. Member-ships are available, but anyone can use the service, which charges a set rate plus mileage from where you are picked up to your

home. Th e hope is to eliminate the obvious economical impact a DWI or DUI can cause you, as well as the possible loss of your job and nega-tive impact on your image.In addition, the Erie County Sheriff ’s Of-fi ce teamed up with Mothers Against Drunk Drivers this year at all Buff alo Bills home games by en-couraging fans to sign up to play what they defi ne “as the most important position in the NFL: the desig-nated driver.”Th e Buff alo Bills and the local chapter of MADD were one of two National Football League teams that be-gan the pilot program two years ago. Th ere are now 11 NFL teams who participate in the

initiative, which involves the county, MADD and the Bills encouraging everyone to plan ahead and designate a sober driver.MADD will have booths based inside Ralph Wilson Stadium in Orchard Park at the entrances of Gates 3 and 5 between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. for all home games in

December. By signing up to be a sober driver that game, free non-alcoholic bever-age vouchers and other giveaways will be presented to each designated driver. Th e program has been well received by many Bills fans, with the slogan of “remem-ber to stay alive and don’t drink and drive” helping to drive home the point the importance of having a designated driver.Some things to remember when indulging this holiday season:– Wine and beer are just as intoxicating as hard liquor.– Caff eine won’t sober you up. Only time can allow for alcohol to leave your system.– If you observe someone who has been drinking too much, encourage them to switch to a non-alcoholic beverage, help them fi nd a safe ride home or off er to drive them.For more information about the local chapter of MADD, visit www.madd.org or call 488-9692. For more information about Designated Drivers of Buf-falo, e-mail www.desig-nateddriversofb uff [email protected] or call 713-7703.

Th e Town of North Harmo-ny has established a fund at the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation to aid in renovating Veteran’s Park.Located in the Town of Ashville, the current Vet-eran’s Park has been used for local Memorial Day cel-ebrations. Th e Park consists of three historic cannons and a memorial listing area veterans who have served our country in times of war and peace. Sally Carlson, Town Super-visor, approached the Foun-dation about establishing a fund that would provide money for a new memorial. Carlson says the plans for

a new memorial include a three paneled stone, with the names of local veterans on the outside and the cen-ter panel engraved with the insignias of every United States military branch.In addition to collecting donations for this fund, all proceeds from the sale of Arthur Th omas’ book “A Ferry Tale, a history of the Bemus Point Stow Ferry”, will be donated to this fund. Th omas, who passed away in March 2011, was a 1st Lieutenant in the United States Army during World War II. A former Town Justice and Council-man for the Town of North Harmony, Carlson believes Th omas would be proud his work is helping to honor other veterans.

Carlson is also asking that anyone who is currently, or was in the past, a resident of North Harmony and served our country to con-tact the Town Clerk’s Offi ce and provide their name and branch of service to be included on the memorial. Names may also be submit-ted on the Town’s website, townofnorthharmony.com. For more information on this fund, contact the Community Foundation at 661-3390 or visit online at crcfonline.org. Tax-deduct-ible donations may be made to the North Harmony Veteran’s Memorial Fund, c/o Chautauqua Region Community Foundation, 418 Spring Street, Jame-stown, N.Y., 14701.

Community leaders from across Chautauqua County met recently to start trans-forming local communities for the healthier. The group met as part of the start-up of the Chautauqua County Health Department’s Community Transformation Grant: Small Communities (CTG) initia-tive. Those who attended the kick-off meeting are members of a new multi-sector leadership team that will be working in partnership with the Chau-tauqua Health Action Team to assist and provide guidance to the Health Department and CTG program staff. These groups will be helping to implement a comprehensive plan to prevent chronic disease in early child care, school, and community settings within the geographic areas of the Jame-stown, Dunkirk and Silver

Creek central school districts. “We are very excited to have school districts, municipali-ties, health and human service agencies, medical profession-als, private-sector businesses, and elected officials as partners in this project,” says Chris-tine Schuyler, the County’s

Director of Health and Human Services. “We recognize the need to work across sectors in our communities to success-fully address causes of obesity and other chronic disease and we are fortunate to have these resources to coordinate this effort. Together we can affect

real positive change.” Chautauqua County is one of just three counties in New York State selected to receive the Community Transforma-tion Grant: Small Communi-ties funding. The New York State Department of Health was awarded the two-year

grant by the Centers for Dis-ease Control and Prevention to address risk factors includ-ing tobacco use, physical inactivity, and poor nutrition in Chautauqua, Cattaraugus and Broome counties. “This initiative is about creat-ing or strengthening opportu-nities for children and adults who live, work, and attend school in the selected com-munities to live more active lifestyles, to eat better, and to avoid exposure to tobacco. It’s really about making the healthier choices the easier choices,” explains Breeanne Agett, Junior Planner for the Chautauqua County Health Department. Silver Creek’s Mayor, Kurt

Lindstrom, is excited about being one of the communities involved. “I am thrilled to be a part of this terrific group. This is a proactive approach that will lead to healthier children in our communities result-ing in healthier families. This project addresses genuine quality of life issues with the Village government, school district and County health professionals taking an ac-tive role in the health of our residents!” For more information, please contact Breeanne Agett at the Chautauqua County Health Department at: 753-4771 or [email protected]

For the coworkers of a local university professor, a family loss turned into an oppor-tunity to give hope to others facing cancer treatment at Brooks Memorial Hospital in Dunkirk. Robert Dahlgren, Ph.D., assistant professor of social studies education at the State University of New York (SUNY) at Fredonia, and his brother Steve Dahlgren of Washington, D.C., lost their mother Emily Hobart Dahlgren this summer in London after a 10-year battle with breast cancer. “When Bob Dahlgren’s co-workers and friends found out about his loss, their admiration for him compelled them to reach out by honoring his mother,” explains Scott Butler, Vice President of Community Rela-

tions/Marketing, Lake Erie Re-gional Health System of New York (LERHSNY). The family recently presented a gift to the hospital totaling around $500 collected from Mr. Dahlgren’s friends along with a match-ing amount from himself and his brother that officials say will go toward education and cancer treatment services at the facility.“It was very spontaneous,” Mr. Dahlgren said of his co-workers’ effort. “We’re very honored that my friends thought so highly of us to do this. We’re very appreciative.” The Dahlgren brothers were recently provided with a tour of the Brooks Cancer Treat-ment Center by Dianna Holtz, RT(T), Radiation Therapy Coordinator. “My friends and I hope that this will help Brooks (Memorial Hospital) to con-

tinue its fine work in oncol-ogy treatment,” Mr. Dahlgren noted. Jonathan I. Lawrence, President and CEO of Lake Erie Regional Health System (LERHSNY), also expressed appreciation for the recent contribution. “We greatly ap-preciate the generous gift from the Dahlgren family and their friends,” he said. “Their broad support in memory of Emily Dahlgren honors our organiza-tion and dedicated staff.”The late Mrs. Dahlgren, born in Roanoke, VA, was a lifelong educator and a member of the Department of Defense Dependent Schools (DODDS) organization that administers American public schools for military dependents living abroad. In Paris she met her husband Wayne Lawrence Dahlgren and the couple later retired in London. Mrs. Dahl-

gren was initially diagnosed with breast cancer in the summer of 2003. Although Mrs. Dahlgren never received treatments at Brooks Memo-rial Hospital, she did receive three rounds of chemotherapy and radiation over the years in other facilities. She died on July 29 at a hospice facility in London. Her husband now resides in the Washington, D.C area. Brooks Memorial Hospital, an affiliate of LERHSNY, is a full service facility offering a range of departments. In addition to oncology these include a 24-hour Emergency Department, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Surgical Services, Labora-tory and Diagnostic Imaging, Dialysis, Sleep Center, a full range of therapy services and inpatient care.

“Sometimes you want to go where everyone knows your name.” Th at familiar theme song to “Cheers” could also double as a slogan for Th e Four Corners Diner locat-ed, well, at the four corners in Sheridan on Route 20 and Center Road.Th e restaurant, which opened October 1, serves up home-style cooking daily for breakfast and lunch, priding itself both for its homemade food and friendly family atmosphere. Julie Manning, who owes Four Corners with Sherry

Shields remarks, “We are starting to get a reputa-tion for our pan-fried fi sh.” Among her other special-ties are home made pies, available for order and always fresh hand-pressed burgers. “Everything here is made from scratch; nothing is frozen. I have home made bread in the morning, make all the pies and cinnamon rolls and Amish donuts.” Her French Fries are now made from fresh cut pota-toes, as are the home fries. Other favorites include Julie’s chicken and biscuits and, sloppy Joes and home made meatloaf.

Four Corners stays open for dinner on Fridays for its fi sh fry. Especially popular is the pan-fried, because, Julie says, “there are not too many places that make pan-fried.” Her customers can also expect to get a large plateful, with sides of maca-roni salad, coleslaw, French fries and grilled rolls. For the holidays, custom-ers can place orders for a variety of pies. Sherry’s hus-band, Butch, recommends the grape, made with concords and topped with a crumb crust. “It’s just like putting fresh grapes in your mouth.” What’s cooking if you can’t

be creative? “Every once in a while we do something unusual,” Julie says. Her latest creation featured this week was a grilled chicken fi nger pizza. Julie previously owned the Silver Café in Silver Creek, which was also a local favorite. “We are a family-oriented place, where peo-ple get together and meet friends,” says Butch. He describes what is a familiar scene as customers greet each other, some walking in the front door and oth-

ers from the back door back at the same time.Four Corners also has gift certifi cates available for the holidays. Th ey are open daily from 6 a.m. until 2 p.m., Fridays from 6 a.m.- 7 p.m. and on Sundays from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. Four Corners

Th e 1891 Fredonia Opera House continues the 2012-13 season of Live at the Met high defi nition opera broadcasts from the Metropolitan Opera with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s fi nal Italian opera, La Clemenza di Tito, on Sat., Dec. 1, at 1 p.m.“Th is week’s off ering, La Clemenza di Tito, is a rarely seen classic set in ancient Rome, with a charismatic cast of stars,” says Opera House Executive Director Rick Davis.

Mozart’s opera about a Ro-man emperor who is the subject of a vengeful woman’s assassination scheme comes to Live in HD screens for the fi rst time. Th e cast includes Elīna Garanča in the trousers role of Sesto, a young noble-man in love with the passion-ate Vitellia, sung by Barbara Frittoli. Giuseppe Filianoti sings the role of the emperor Tito, with Lucy Crowe (in her Met debut) and Kate Lindsey as the young lovers Servilia and Annio.Jean-Pierre Ponnelle’s classic Met production presents the opera as it might have been

seen in Mozart’s time, with stylized settings suggesting a historic vision of ancient times. Baroque special-ist Harry Bicket leads the opera, which includes one of Mozart’s most famous arias, Sesto’s wrenching “Parto, parto.”Th e production lasts three hours, 13 minutes, notes Davis. “Th ere is one intermis-sion,” 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 broad-casts 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 Communications.Tickets to La Clemenza di Tito are $20 ($18 for Opera House and Met members, $15 for students) and are avail-able in advance by calling or visiting the Box Offi ce at 716-679-1891 Tuesday – Fri-day, 1-5 p.m. Th ey also may be purchased online anytime at www.fredopera.org.

Th e fl exible opera subscription is $161.


Academy Award winner Christopher Plummer stars in a special U.S. theatrical release of Barrymore at the 1891 Fredonia Opera House on Th urs., Nov. 29, at 7 p.m. Th is production, captured-live in high-defi nition, was fi lmed at Toronto’s Elgin Th eatre. Th e event also includes screen-ing of a special documentary, Backstage with Barrymore.Barrymore is an unforgettable portrayal of legendary actor John Barrymore, a man of colossal talent and contradic-tions and one of the greatest Shakespearean actors of all time. Set in 1942, the fi nal year of John Barrymore’s life, Barrymore takes place on the stage of a Broadway theatre, where the actor is struggling to recreate his performance in the title role of Shakespeare’s Richard III. Th e struggle leads him to look back on the highs

and lows of his stunning career and remarkable life.Directed, and adapted for the screen, by Erik Canuel, Bar-rymore stars Plummer in the tour de force fi lm performance of his career. Rex Reed, in the New York Observer, says “Plummer really deserves a Best Actor Oscar for Barry-more … it’s the role – and the performance – of a lifetime, and he plays every color, nu-ance, mood shift and variety of vocal power and body language in his enormous range. Th e artistry leaves you with your mouth wide open ... stunned and cheering. So bring out the Oscar.”Th is presentation of Barry-more also includes a special screening of Backstage with Barrymore immediately following the production. Backstage with Barrymore is a “making of ” documentary that gives a behind-the-scenes glimpse at how the presenta-tion was put together and includes an interview with its star. Total running time for the production and documentary is 129 minutesTickets to Barrymore are $15 ($10 for students) and may be purchased in person at the Opera House Box Offi ce or by phone at 716-679-1891, Tues-day through Friday, 1-5 p.m. Th ey also may be purchased online any time at www.fre-dopera.org.

“A Stitch in Time” quilters group from Heritage Vil-lage Retirement Campus in Gerry, New York, recently made a $300 donation to Heritage Ministries with proceeds raised from the sale of a quilt the group as-sembled. Th e quilters group is comprised of six women who reside on the Heritage Village Retirement Cam-pus. Th e group, “A Stitch in Time,” was established to bring together the talent of these women who all enjoy the handiwork of quilting. Each of the women has pursued the hobby of quilt-ing or needlework at some point in their lives, making special quilts for countless children, grandchildren, and extended family over the years. Now, in their retirement, these women have the time to enjoy a hobby they hold close to their hearts. Staying true to their favor-ite hobby, you could say the

pieces fell into place for “A Stitch in Time.” Recently, Heritage Village Retirement Campus participated in two events that highlighted the women’s common inter-est of quilting. One event was a Quilt Show where individuals displayed their own handmade quilts. Th e second event was a Quilt Fundraiser that sev-eral women donated their unique talents to benefi t the Western New York Al-zheimer’s Association. With a common interest in quilting at hand, Heritage Village Retirement Cam-pus Resident, Dee Shref-fl er, began to bring the pieces together to form this unique group of women. In possession of a quilting frame donated by a fellow senior on the Retirement Campus, Mrs. Shreffl er wondered how this quilt-ing equipment could be utilized. Inspired by an interest to bring fellow quil-ters together, Mrs. Shreffl er began organizing an infor-mal quilters group. Heritage Village Retirement

Campus residents Dorothy Tidwell, Nancy Bertch, Ja-net Peterson, Luella Storm, and Esther Robson took Mrs. Shreffl er up on her in-vitation. Th e group settled on the name “A Stitch in Time” and has worked on several quilts over the last two years. When working on a quilt project, the group meets once a week to stitch and visit with one another socially. Th e donated quil-ter’s frame is displayed in a common area at the Retire-ment Campus allowing others to enjoy and follow the group’s progress. “A Stitch in Time’s” most recent project was fi nish-ing the hand quilting on a donated quilt top. Th e quilt top had been gener-ously donated by a town of Stockton resident who had read about the Retirement Campus seniors in a press release featuring the Quilt Fundraiser to benefi t the Western New York Al-zheimer’s Association. Th e end result was a beauti-ful Antique Double Wed-ding Ring quilt which was

purchased as a gift for a senior who resides in a Skilled Nursing Facility out of state. As the story for “A Stitch in Time” melded together, all of the pieces fell into place: a group of women with a common interest; the generosity of several donations; and a Chaplain’s wife to “sew” them all together. Th e proceeds from the sale of the Antique Double Wedding Ring Quilt were donated as a gift to Heri-tage Ministries to be used toward the non-profi t or-ganization’s current capital campaigns. To learn more about senior living on the Heritage Vil-lage Retirement Campus, please visit our website at www.heritage1886.org or call 716-487-6874 to sched-ule a personal tour. Heritage Ministries is a non-profi t, human service organization serving the Chautauqua County region with over 800 employees. Independent and assisted living residences for seniors

are located at Heritage Vil-lage Retirement Campus in Gerry, New York and now these same types of services are available at Th e Wood-lands, A Heritage Senior Living Community in West Ellicott, New York. Reha-bilitation and skilled nurs-

ing services are provided at Heritage Village (Gerry, NY), Heritage Park (Jame-stown, NY), and Heritage Green (Greenhurst, NY) Rehab & Skilled Nursing. For more information, please call 716-487-6800 or visit www.heritage1886.org.

Although Marshal Martz passed away in 1979, a local group of astronomers, friends and community members are working to keep his memory, and love of science, alive for future generations.Th e Marshal Martz Astronom-ical Association, founded in 1978 by Martz himself, recent-ly established an endowment fund with the Chautauqua Re-

gion Community Foundation to provide charitable support to their organization. In 1945, Martz grew tired of traveling as a talented musi-cian. He and his wife Mary settled down in the area and looked for work. An avid learner, Martz began to ex-plore the world of science and astronomy and enrolled in an off -campus program through the University of Chicago. He received his teaching certifi -cate and was off ered a teaching

position at Jamestown Com-munity College in 1955. For more than 20 years, Martz taught, inspired and explored the world of astronomy with his students. With the com-ing of the space age and man’s fi rst steps on the moon, Martz covered it all. Upon his retirement, he was granted the status of professor emeritus from the State University of New York. One of Martz’s greatest aspira-tions during his life was to

build the largest telescope in the world, built by an individual. With emotional, physical and fi nancial support from Mary, and their mothers, Martz succeeded in his goal. Th e telescope he built, as well as the home he created for his family around it, still stands today. Th e Martz Observatory is located on Robin Hill Road in Frewsburg. Aft er Martz’s passing at the age of 69, Mary continued living at the observatory for many

years. Following her passing in 2007, the observatory was left in the care of the Association. Due to the dedication of all members, the Marshal Martz Memorial Astronomical As-sociation is able to continue the mission of their namesake, by informing, educating and inspiring individuals through science. Today, the Martz Observatory has been utilized by the Association to conduct meetings, give tours and host a variety of classes and programs

to students and interested par-ties from across the Western New York Region.For more information on the Martz Observatory or to schedule a trip, visit their web-site, martzobservatory.org.For more information on con-tributing to the Marshal Martz Memorial Astronomical As-sociation, Inc.

Great things can happen when groups come to-gether.21,629 pounds of food, pa-per products, diapers, pet products and other neces-sity items were delivered on Monday, Nov. 19 to the Staten Island emergency distribution center to aid those devastated by the re-cent Hurricane to that area. Western New York re-sponded in a caring way with Regal Service Com-pany, of Ripley providing the truck and trailer to haul the cargo. Th eir Regal Relief division stepped up in a big

way by also donating the cost of the fuel to make the trip! Th e driver, who is also a 4th degree Knight of Co-lumbus, a Deacon for the Diocese of Buff alo donated his services to get the load there. Th is eff ort was coordi-nated by the area’s Knights of Columbus Councils including Dunkirk Coun-cil #929, Our Lady of Hope Council # 3076 in Buff alo, and the Msgr. David Gernatt Council #15113 in Gowanda. Th e Jamestown collection site coordinated by St. James Church, and Jamestown

area Knights of Columbus. onations were received over the last 10 days and miraculous results provided

the needed supplies. Several groups assisted the eff ort, some were eff ected by the 2009 fl ood that devastated

our own area, and knew the need would be great. Oth-ers joining the eff ort were several of the Permanent Deacons of the Diocese of Buff alo, Chautauqua County 4H, Cattaraugus County 4H, Dunkirk Ani-mal Clinic, Gowanda area churches, and several busi-nesses, and many neighbors and friends. Th e site that received the donations was shocked to see the vast amount of needed items, and were happy to spend the day unloading, and commented through out how generous this area is to help people they don’t even know but helped in such a big way.

Carlson Memorial Fund, Family Service of the Chautauqua Region has a new entryway roof. “The old roof had become damaged from poor drain-age and ice back-up” said Donna Vanstrom, Ex-ecutive Director of Family Service of the Chautauqua Region. “The result of this damage was that the roof had rotted and become a safety hazard” Vanstrom said.Funding from the Chau-tauqua Region Commu-nity Foundation, Axel W.

Carlson Memorial Fund will be used to replace the existing roof and install ice and water barriers along

with new gutters and down spouts to minimize the likelihood that the problem will happen again.

As the remaining time for Christmas gift shopping shortens, shoppers who are stumped on choosing just the right little stock-ing stuff er might consider buying a horse, or, a goat. Perhaps, six geese-a-laying?For over seven years, near or about the last Friday of November, the Sherman Livestock Auction off ers their Christmas Gift Auc-tion Sale. Th is year it is November 30. “It’s a family gathering,” Dan Johnson, co-owner and auctioneer of the sale, announces de-scribing the atmosphere at the annual sale. Th e Sherman Livestock Auction has been a recog-nized farm animal purchas-ing landmark for nearly seventy-fi ve years. “Th e Sherman Livestock Auction is the oldest, continuously running livestock sale in the United States,” Dan Johnson said as he ate his breakfast, a large bowl of tossed salad greens. Dan ac-knowledged that his choice of breakfast food displayed an amusing coincidence to the plants and leafs that the farm animals out in the barn stalls also ate, to which he lightheartedly replied, “I don’t always eat this in the morning.”Dan Johnson is a licensed auctioneer, a member of GISPA (Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration), an associ-ate with the DFA (Dairy Farmers of America), and is affi liated with the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture). Th ose acronyms verify the auction barn as “an established and documented stockyard,” Dan conveyed. Nichole Johnson, Dan’s wife and business partner, has been managing the live-stock sale business with her husband since they bought it together in 2007. “Th e auction barn has been in around since 1937,” Nicole sited, while sipping a cup of hot tea inside the restau-rant, which is also part of the auction showground. She continued, “we bought it from the Reed family who had the business for many years before we took it up.” Th e sales barns also have a family diner, which she and her sister-in-law manage together, “it’s a good busi-ness and we really enjoy it.” On Friday, Nov. 30, the Sherman Livestock Auction will partner with Christmas consignment items for a holiday sale. “Th ere’re all kinds of gift s and toys,” Dan

Johnson said, “farm toys, meats, cheeses, holiday gift s, bulk foods.” Sales are not at all limited to holiday selling. Th ere are two primary auctions held each Tuesday and each third Saturday. Th e Tuesday auctions bring in many kinds of farm animals, “and feeder cattle,” as Dan describes them. Th e third Saturday features horse auctions. Th ey begin at 1 p.m. and continue until the early evening, sometimes as late as 8 p.m., depending upon the number of horses brought to the yard for public sale. A business, like many other businesses, has variability. Nichole points out, “the prime horse market has dropped in the last six or seven years.” Th e Sherman stockyard has an annual horse auction toward the end of February. Th e sale is not exclusive to, but is at-tended primarily by Amish farmers.Commonly referred as a “standard horse,” or horse accustomed to carts, these animals are usually former harness races. Also at the auction are ponies, draft and miniature horses, brought into the corral for bidder’s interest. In addi-tion, Dan says a number of horses are “thoroughbreds.” “Th ey become, presum-ably, jumpers, or runners,” he speculates. “Sometimes they’re just a family pet.” Th e horse auction might have the appearance of a used-car auction—older horses, draft stallions. And accessories: tack, stable supplies, saddles, and medications. To others, the likeness of the auction to a car sale is not contrasting. Chiefl y, the sale is working horses for farm use.Th en there are the “no-val-ue” horses, as Dan entitles them, using the term with reservation, euphemisti-cally perhaps. A “no-value” horse is just that, one with expired use, oft en, for slaughter. “Spent cattle,” is another de-scription for a non-produc-tive farm animal considered as a food product. “Some-times we can’t give them away,” he states.“Th e USDA in an overseer

of all the slaughter sales at the auction,” Johnson confi rms. According to the Johnsons, national organizations administer supervision over such slaughterhouse sales. “Th e American Jockey Club,” Nichole used as example, “demands that certain horses do not go to slaughter.” Th en making clear, “but that’s not all at the main purpose of “no-value” horses.”Nor is the sale of produce animals the sole business of the Sherman Livestock Auction. Th e Johnsons lead the largest benefi t auction in a several-state radius. Last year, accord-ing to Nichole, the busi-ness raised over $6,000 for the St. Jude Charity. Dan adds. “It’s an annual aff air, each Labor Day the auction proceeds go to St. Jude. We have a trail ride, and pig roast. We’re the largest sponsor for the organization.”“We do more than just livestock sales,” says Ni-cole, “we are auctioneers for estate and farm sales.” Th e auction barn is also an apprenticeship to begin-ning auctioneers. Nicole is pleased that the Sherman Livestock Auction encour-ages the opportunity and supports the potential for inexperienced auctioneers to gain skills while working at the sale barns. Such was the case at the beginning of one recent Saturday live-stock auction. First non-animal items and equine accessories were brought forward for sale. Typically, Dan begins the auctioneering process, but as the animal bidding con-tinues throughout the aft er-noon, he will hand over his seat at the auction bench to an auctioneer apprentice - someone just starting out in the business. Nicole states, “We have a great place for them to get practice and exposure. Dan is a good auctioneer to work with. He gives them training.” Th e Sherman Livestock Auction has several em-ployees, “a wonderful staff ,” Nicole asserts. Drawing special attention to the up-coming Christmas holiday sale, “we all have a lot of

StatepointYou can bet that during the holiday season your pet is bound to sniff out leftovers, dig into the presents and have fun with all of your decora-tions. And while these holiday effects can spread cheer and joy amongst your human fam-ily members, they can be a real hazard to pets. This season, keep your holiday celebra-tion safe, happy and healthy for pets by taking these key measures:Decorate WiselyAvoid poisonous holiday plants like poinsettias and hol-ly. There are plenty of toxic-

free alternatives as evocative of the season as these traditional holiday favorites. If you must deck the halls with such plants, place them in an out of the way spot your pets can’t reach and keep your pets away from those areas of your home.Tinsel and gift ribbons are tempting for pets that like to play with shiny things, but when swallowed, such items can cause intestinal obstruc-tions. Clean up after opening presents and vacuum around the tree to pick up any gift debris, as well as fallen pine needles which pose a similar hazard.

Avoid the ProblemWhen it comes to the holidays, there’s no need to be a Grinch in order to keep your celebra-tion safe for pets. New tech-nologies are making it easier to teach pets to stay away from certain areas of your home, both indoors and outside. For example, Invisible Fence Brand Micro Shields Avoidance Solu-tions are small mobile wireless units to train pets to avoid ar-eas of the home or yard where they might get in trouble. And if you have multiple pets, you can set different rules for dif-ferent pets.So don’t forgo that lovely

holiday candle display just because you have a pet in your life. More information can be found at www.invisiblefence.com .Watch Your PlateAs most great pet owners know, not all human foods are safe or healthy for pets. Pets can choke on bones in meat or fish dishes. And such foods as onions, macadamia nuts and chocolate -- which are commonly found in holiday cooking and baking -- are unsafe for dogs.Avoid having your well-mean-ing guests sending Spot to the vet by laying ground rules

about sharing food.Also, one man’s trash is a pet’s treasure, so be sure to keep the lid on the garbage secure.

By taking proper precautions, you can keep the holidays fes-tive this year for both you and your pets.

Q&A

Q: When I’m walking my dog through a parkway near my home, we occasionally see coyotes. While they seem to keep to themselves, we have had a couple of small dogs killed by them in their own yards. Judging by the “lost cats” signs, I suspect they’ve taken a few pet cats, too. I live in the suburbs of a big city, and I guess I’m surprised that coyotes will take a pet right under an owner’s nose. Is there any way to protect our pets? This seems to be a relatively new problem here. — via Facebook A: Coyotes are everywhere, and they’ve learned that household pets are relatively easy prey. They’ve been able to use the ability to find food easily to expand their range dramatically. Coyotes are plentiful in suburban ar-eas across the United States, and have even been reported in New York City and other highly urban environments. Free-roaming cats seem to be espe-cially at risk. Many times missing cats or the gruesome finding of feline remains is initially thought to be the work of sadistic cat-haters, but often these apparent “crime sprees” turn out to be the work of neighborhood coyotes. Keeping cats safely inside is the only way to completely protect them. Small dogs are often targets of hun-gry coyotes as well, and for these pets, it’s important to be sure to supervise them in your yard, especially if you back up to a wooded area, golf course or other potentially coyote-rich envi-ronment. When walking small dogs, don’t let them off leash. Few coyotes are bold enough to get so close to a person as to snap up a leashed dog. Larger dogs are considerably less at risk, but not completely so, and it wouldn’t hurt to keep a leash and close eye on them as well. To discourage coyotes from colo-nizing your neighborhood, work with your neighbors to remove food sources that attract these predators, such as pet food left outside, garbage cans that aren’t securely closed or compost piles that are not correctly maintained. If food sources are denied them, the animals will move on to a more promising area. While none of these steps will completely protect your pets, they will reduce the risk from these ever-more-common predators. — Dr. Marty Becker Do you have a pet question?

Quick, look at your dog’s feet. Are your pet’s

nails too long? Do you remember the last time you cut them? Are you dreading the next? If they’re too long and you’ve been putting off the chore because of how awful the experience was for you both, well, you’re in good com-pany — or, at least in the majority. Every-where I go, I see dogs with nails that des-perately need trim-ming. And sometimes I don’t even have to go anywhere: Even I can get so busy that I forget to trim them on my own dogs! But keeping nails trimmed is important. Long nails can make walking uncomfortable and can even cause lameness. This is why trimming nails short — they should be just off the ground when your pet is standing — and then trimming them just a pinch every week is both important and far easier than cutting them back bloodily and painfully every few weeks or even months. The problem with nails is that each has a blood vessel inside it. The trick is to trim to just beyond the end of this vein. If you nick it, the nail will bleed, and your dog will yelp. Everyone hits this vein on occasion, even veterinar-ians and groomers, which is why you should be sure to have blood-stopping powder on hand, such as Kwik Stop, before you start trim-ming. If your dog has light-colored toe-nails, the blood vessel is the pink area. Black nails are harder to figure out, but you should be able to see the vein by shining a flash-light behind the nail. If you can’t tell, just clip back a little at a time. If you draw blood, take a pinch of the powder and press it against the exposed tip of the nail for a few seconds to stop the bleeding. If your dog’s nails are so long

that they’re forcing her foot out of position, you can take them back to where they should be in two ways. The first is to cut a little off every few days: The quick recedes before you as you go. The second way is to have your veterinarian take them all the way back at once when your dog is under anesthe-sia, such as for a teeth cleaning. After the nails are at a proper length, keeping them that way is easy with a weekly trim. If your dog is resistant to hav-ing her nails trimmed, work up to the task over a few weeks’ time by taking the trimmer in hand and touching it to her feet, then her toes, then the nails, while praising her and giving her treats for each step. When she is used to having her feet handled, put the trimmer against the nail and praise and treat more still. Then trim a little off, and so on. Praise and more praise! Treats and more treats! Don’t insist on getting all the nails done at once. Do one or two toes a night, and put the nippers away while you and your dog are feeling positive about the experience. An alternative to nail trimming is nail grinding. You can buy a canine nail grinder, or just use a lightweight rotary grinding tool, such as the Dremmel.

Some dogs prefer having their nails ground instead of clipped, perhaps because with a grinder it’s easy to stop before you hit the quick. The most important thing to remember when grinding is that nails can get hot while you’re working on them. Don’t grind continuously. Touch the grinder to the nail in very short bursts — a second or two at most — to keep the heat from building up. And make sure not to catch any fur while you’re working. (Tip: Look for online videos on grinding nails to see the technique.) Whichever method you’re using to shorten the nails, don’t forget the dewclaws, those extra toes you can find up on the inside of the leg. Not all dogs have them, but for those who do, neglected nails can be a problem. Long nails can catch on upholstery and tear the dewclaw partly off the leg. Keep-ing these nails short will prevent injury, which is why you haven’t finished trimming nails until you’ve done the dew, too. If you work with your pet fre-quently, trim just a little at a time and reward generously for coop-eration, the days of nail-trimming dread will be behind you both, and your dog will step out more com-fortably on your walks together.

How to protectpets from coyotes

With patient handling and praise, many dogs learn to tolerate nail trimming without a fuss.

Male cats haven’talways been ‘toms’

It wasn’t until the 18th century debut of a fictional feline charac-ter named “Tom” that male cats became known by that name.

This week we are featuring “Marble”. She is a 1 1/2 year old short haired tabby calico. She is very sweet, but can be a bit on the shy side until she gets to know you. She prefers to pick her own spot for attention and doesn’t like to be picked up much. Marble was found as a stray and brought to CCHS. Her perfect home would be quiet with a family that would let her take things at her own pace. If you think you might be right for Marble, meet her at the Strunk Road Adoption Center Cat Colony Room. She is ready to have a loving home of her own.

Looking to build on last year’s quar-terfi nal appearance in the Class C-2 playoff s, Chautauqua Lake basketball head coach Chris Dole has his Th un-derbirds aiming a little bit higher. If they’re going to do that, it might just come from a talented group of underclassmen.“We’re going to be really, really young,” Dole said.Th at’s what happens in the world of high school basketball and Chautau-qua Lake is no diff erent, except in the case they might be younger than most. Th ey had fi ve seniors on last year’s squad, four of which were in Dole’s seven-man rotation and two of which were among his top three scorers.But, this won’t be Dole’s fi rst run with a young squad. He hit the jackpot last year with sophomore Ian Clute turning into the team’s leading scorer. He’s hoping to do it again with one of his four sophomores or one freshman that are up with the varsity squad this year. In all, eight underclassmen are on Chautauqua Lake’s 11-man roster, leaving Dole with some question marks heading into the year.“Th ey’ve got some talent, they’re just inexperienced,” Dole said. “A lot of these guys played in the off season. We had a summer league in Jame-stown and I found a lot about of some of these younger kids.”Take a little bit of good with a little

bit of the bad, in a sense. Chief among Dole’s tasks will be fi guring out a rotation. He admitted his var-sity squad is as balanced as it could be, but said there was no sense in keeping sophomores or freshmen up if they weren’t going to see the court.“With all of these younger kids, it’s my obligation is to get them playing time,” Dole said. “Or else we’re wast-ing young talent.”What Dole can count on are three returnees that logged major minutes. Clute led the team in scoring — just a hair under 11 points per game — and was also the team’s second leading rebounder. But, he’ll lose

frontcourt help from Jason McMa-hon and Nathan Gleason, leaving Chautauqua Lake with a roster void of forwards.“Th e thing we’re missing this year is a lot height,” Dole said. “We’re not going to have as much of an inside presence as we did before.”But Clute is a key starting piece. He was a second-team CCAA Division 3 selection last year and will play a huge role for the Th underbirds in 2012-13.“A lot goes on his shoulders,” Dole said. “He came in a sophomore and showed he belonged at the varsity

level. And now we expect him to groom these younger kids. He’s a great passer. He’s a really good re-bounder — he gets in good position.”Th e other two returnees that played a lot last year are seniors Cody Th omas and Jeremiah Russin. Th ey both averaged about six points per game “Th ose guys need to be leaders and they need to step on both sides of the fl oor,” Dole said. “Defensively I’m not as worried right now. Of-fensively, I think our shooting is going to be there, but it’s confi dence in our off ense.

season.”Reid will be attending school at Bemidji State in the Spring semester beginning in January.As for the Jamestown Ironmen, the leaders of the North Division won’t play another home game until the 21st of December and are slated for six games away from the Jamestown Savings Bank Arena in the meantime.Jamestown will travel to the west coast for a pair of games in Califor-nia against the Fresno Monsters this weekend.

As the NFL heads into December, nearly every division race has an outright favorite. Some — Denver, Atlanta, New England, Houston and Baltimore — are on the verge of clinching playoff spots.Th e Broncos, Falcons, Ravens, Texans and Patriots took big steps toward making the postseason with victories this week. Denver in the AFC West and Atlanta in the NFC South both have four-game leads aft er tight road wins Sunday, while Baltimore went to overtime to secure a three-game margin in the AFC North.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Stevie Johnson and the Buff alo Bills' off ense suddenly have one thing in common. Both are moving in reverse.Th e Bills' leading receiver found himself backpedaling Monday, a day aft er openly questioning coach Chan Gailey's off ensive play calling follow-ing a 20-13 loss at Indianapolis.Johnson said he misspoke when suggesting quarterback Ryan Fitzpat-rick take over the play-calling duties from Gailey. What he meant to say is Fitzpatrick should have more op-portunities to change plays at the line of scrimmage.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Th e St. Bonaventure women's basketball team (3-3) dropped its third game Saturday night in the consolation game of the New Mexico Th anks-giving Tournament. North Texas (1-4) bested the Bonnies by a score of 72-71 in double-overtime.It was a tale of two halves for the Bonnies. Early in the fi rst half it was Ashley Zahn who found the hot hand knocking down her fi rst two three-point attempts to give SBU an

early 6-2 lead. Zahn stayed hot and by the end of the fi rst half she had hit a career-high fi ve triples for a career-high 15 points. CeCe Dixon added nine points of her own in the fi rst half on 3-6 shooting from deep. Th e Bonnies had built a 19-point advantage with 4:11 to play in the fi rst half but North Texas used those remaining minutes to go on a 10-3 run to close the half. At the break the Bonnies led 30-18.In the second half, the Bonnies stuck with the hot hand of Ashley Zahn as she dropped two more deep balls to help extend the SBU lead to 16,

45-29, with 12:47 to play. But the Mean Green, who average 72 points per game, would not be held back for much longer.North Texas used a 9-0 run to get themselves back in to this one. CeCe Dixon broke the run with a jumper at the 8:44 mark. Th e score held at 47-40 for over two minutes when Braylah Blakely broke the silence with a jumper. Doris Ortega made a pair of free throws and pitched in a lay-up to push the lead back up to nine.Th e Bonnies held that nine-point advantage with 4:03 to play when Alexis Hyder stole the ball away

from Katie Healy and found Laura McCoy in transition for a three. Th e lead would be cut to four following Katie Healy free throw when Desiree Nelson drilled a three-pointer with 3:27 to play.Doris Ortega missed two lay-ups on the next Bonnies possession. North Texas capitalized with a jumper from BreAnna Dawkins, bringing the score to 52-50 with 2:49 left in the game.

“Cody’s extremely fast,” Dole continued. “We’re going to count on him to get up and down the fl oor and score for us.” Jeremiah is fast in his own way — he’s deceptive. But he’s 6-feet-1 and can get in there are rebound for us too. He might be that guy on the op-posite side of Ian.”Taking over the point guard position will be sophomore A.J. Hulton, who at 5-foot-10 had a pretty good year on the football fi eld for Dan Greco, too. He’ll take over for McMa-hon, who ran the off ense, but played in the post on defense. “He’s a diff erent mold, more of a true point guard,” Dole said. “He’s a very good ball handler and he’s that type of guard that can slash to the basket. He’s not as tall as Jason, but he’s every bit as quick.”With Hulton at the point and Th omas and Russin anchoring the wings, Dole is going to need some shooters/scorers who can help the backcourt. He’ll get plenty of help from three underclassmen in Kyle Mayer (junior), Ryan Miller (sopho-more) and Carter Davidson (freshman). Davidson seemed to be high on Dole’s list.“Carter’s a great shooter, I don’t have to hold my breath when the ball goes in the air,” Dole quipped. “I think it’s going in every time. He’s a freshman, it’s going to come with confi dence. But when he comes off the bench, he has the green light.“Kyle’s another guy that can shoot,” Dole continued. “He’s a little streaky, but when he hits one, he can go for three or four in a row.”Miller is a slasher who Dole said always seems to get fouled. He also has senior Jor-dan Briggs in the backcourt, which he noted as a great passer. It certainly won’t be the usual Chautauqua Lake in the sense that they can roll out six or seven talented guards.“I’ve got some good shooters this year,” Dole said. “Th at’s something I haven’t had in the past. We’ve relied on the inside game, the physicality, in the past. Now we’re going the opposite way. We have to play some small ball. Press and run.”Th e Th underbirds will wel-

come Panama to the division, as the new classifi cations bumped Ellicottville down to Division 4 and replaced them with the Panthers, last year’s sectional champions in Class D. Th e Panthers remained at the D level. Besides that, it’s the usual suspect in Division 3.“Maple Grove is obviously go-ing to be the team to beat, as usual,” Dole said. “And West-

fi eld has a couple of three-year starters, so they’re going to be very good again. But as far as 1-2 goes, it’s Maple Grove and Westfi eld again.“It doesn’t’ matter what divi-sion Maple Grove is in, they’re going to be talked about every year,” Dole added.Chautauqua Lake opens up the year at Brocton on Dec. 4. Th ey’ll take on Ripley before

getting Brocton on their home court on Dec. 13. Th en, they’ll play the two teams they looked up at in the division last year in Maple Grove and Westfi eld all before Christ-mas. Th ose will be their fi rst two league games.“We expect a lot out of these kids,” Dole said. “We’re youth-ful, but we’re not lacking talent.”

In a 67-44 win Saturday at Penn State Behrend, Hebert asserted herself with 21 points, including 8 of 13 shooting in the second half. She had nine points as part of a decisive 13-2 run by the Blue Devils.In the two games last week, He-bert averaged 28.5 points, shot 24 of 38 from the fi eld, 3 of 7 on three-point attempts, and was 6 of 7 from the foul line.

Th e 10 fi nalists for the Trench Trophy, an annual award that honors the most outstand-ing lineman in Western New York, have been announced and have quite the amount of Chautauqua County fl avor. Four of the 10 players nomi-nated hail from the county.Jamestown’s Cortlaind Haines and John Czech, Fredonia’s Nick Nocek and Maple Grove’s Jake Swan will head to Lancaster on Dec. 5, where the announcement will be made at the Elks Lounge on Legion Parkway in the village. Th ey’ll join six fellow linemen including a familiar face for Haines and Czech in Orchard Park’s Mike Senn.Rounding out the 10-man group will be Jason Bunk (Al-den), Ryan Hunter (Canisius), Sean Murphy (Timon), Khalil Sommerville (Bennett) and Tyler Studd (Springville).Each local player helped clear the way for a dominant rush-ing game. Haines and Czech helped Jamestown establish one of the top all-around of-fenses in WNY. Running back Da’Quan Hollingsworth ran for 1,310 yards and 20 touch-downs while quarterback Jacob Sisson threw for 1,655 yards. On defense, Czech and Haines were equally as disrup-

tive. Czech, who fi nished the year with more than 100 tack-les and 10 sacks, was named Th e Star’s County Defensive Player of the Year. Haines, meanwhile, missed the fi rst three games with an injury, but may have been the most important player on the team. He also was used as a fullback late in the year. Jamestown fi nished the year 8-2 aft er los-ing in the sectional fi nal.Nocek, also an integral part to the Hillbillies defense, was a stout tackle, helping quar-terback Weston Ley use him speed by reaching the edge. Fredonia was without top

running back Zach Buckley for much of the year. Nocek made much of his mark on defense, as he fi nished with 86 tackles and nine sacks, both of which led the team. Fredonia fi nished 7-3 aft er losing in the sectional fi nal.Finally, Swan helped clear the way for the county’s leading rusher in Oliver Simpson. Simpson ran for 1,522 yards and fi nished the year with 18 touchdowns. Swan helped an-chor a line that also featured seniors Lee Wascher and Jon Scroxton. Maple Grove fi n-ished the year 8-1 aft er losing in the sectional fi nal.

Th e last player from Chau-tauqua County to win the award was Southwestern’s Jasen Carlson back in 2009. Carlson was a four-year starter for Southwestern and is now a two-year starter for the University at Buff alo.Other past winners are: Devon Leach (Orchard Park, 2011), Dylan Anna (Pioneer, 2010), John Urschel (Canisius, 2008), Nicholas Christman (Sweet Home, 2007), Gil Ro-driguez (Frontier, 2006), Jesse Jesonowski (Iroquois, 2005), Jason Weber (Orchard Park, 2004) and John Livingston (Eden, 2003).

County Basketball Power Rankings1. Jamestown— Three starters and a sixth man return for Ben Drake and the Red Raiders. They’ve stepped up the non-league competition in December. We’ll see how they handle it.2. Silver Creek— Three starters are also back for the Black Knights, who cruised to a Division 2 title and nearly took all of Class C after a buzzer-beater rimmed out. Zed Williams and Kaine Kettle represent an imposing inside-outside game.3. Maple Grove— I’ve learned to never discount a Curt Fischer-coached team, even if that team lost nearly every important piece from a year ago. Still, Maple Grove was head-and-shoulders better than Division 3 and should be favorites again.4. Southwestern— Hard to believe but

Southwestern went as far as any Class B team last year and returns first-team all league selection Kyle Radack. Trojans should be much better than last year’s fourth place regular season finish.5. Fredonia— Last year’s results tend not to mean anything, but the Hillbillies did lose to Southwestern in the playoffs last year, which is why they’re slightly lower than the Trojans. Juniors Dylan Meyer and Nick Johnston make this team a sleeper.6. Dunkirk— Between them and Olean, they’ve hogged Division 1 for the last two years. How Dunkirk replaces such a vulnerable senior class seems like a daunting task, but we’ll see how coach Jerome Moss fares.7. Panama— They were the only sectional champ from Chautauqua County last year, but were hit harder than most by graduation. Head coach has a go-to scorer in Alec Blose, but the rest of squad is a little bit of a mystery.8. Westfield— Losing a fantastic scorer like Austin Alonge is going to hurt anyone. Westfield looks capable, behind John Coe, to survive, but I need to see more of them before buying in.9. Clymer— They lose five seniors but Dan Lictus is going to be tough for any team to deal with. If they can fill in around him, the Pirates could be Class D favorites.10. Sherman — The top three teams in Class D were all crushed by graduation and Sherman is no different. Six seniors are gone but juniors Andrew Graham and Ryan Robson give coach Cory Emory the best backcourt in the class.

FREDONIA, N.Y. — Amir Bil-lups and Tyrone Clark struck from far and near to lead Fre-donia State past Elmira, 75-60, in men’s basketball Tuesday at the Steele Hall Fieldhouse.Billups connected on a 5 of 7 three-pointers, three coming in a span of four Blue Devil off ensive possessions in the second half.

Each fi nished with 21 points as the Blue Devils improved to 2-2.Chris Cassidy led Elmira with 16 points and Kurt Dutcher added 10 points and a team-high seven rebounds. Elmira led for most of the fi rst half. Two free throws by Cassidy gave them their larg-est lead, 15-8. Fredonia State tied the game at 19-all on two free throws by Matt Deboy

and a three-point basket by John Kovach.Th e teams were tied twice more and the lead changed hands three more times before the Blue Devils closed out the fi rst half with a 7-0 run.

Th e basket by Ed-wards put the Blue Devils up 34-32. He closed out the fi rst-half scoring with a jumper following a defensive rebound by Clark off a second-straight missed three pointer by Elmira’s Josh Keys.Elmira pulled within one point, 38-37, on a layup by Dutcher, and trailed by two, 51-49, on a three-pointer by Keys with 9:18 left in the game.

Th e Big East moved quickly to replace Rutgers and braced for more possible departures, get-ting Tulane and East Carolina to agree to join the re-invented conference in 2014.''I would go as far to say as this is a historic day for Tulane University ... the Big East is coming to the Big Easy,'' school President Scott Cowen said Tues-day.Tulane, in New Orleans, and East Carolina, in Green-ville, N.C., will make it six Confer-ence USA schools to join the Big East in the last two years.Rutgers announced a week ago that it would leave the Big East for the Big Ten. Cowen and athletic director Rick Dickson said serious talks with the Big East began about a week ago.''Th is is an unprecedented opportunity to join a national conference,'' Dickson said.ECU athletic director Terry Holland said an off er to join the Big East came Sunday.''It was a quick turnaround,'' he said.Rutgers would like to join the Big Ten by 2014, along with Maryland, but the Scarlet

Knights have left their depar-ture date from the Big East ambiguous. Conference by-laws require members to give the league notifi cation of two years and three months before departing, but the Big East has negotiated early exits for Syracuse, Pittsburgh and West Virginia in the past year.West Virginia joined the Big 12 this year. Syracuse and Pitt will begin play in the Atlantic Coast Conference in September.

With Maryland leaving the ACC, there has been strong specula-tion that

Connecticut or Louisville will be the next to leave the Big East as the Terps' replacement.If either does, the conference is still on target to have 12 football members in 2014, just not the same ones it will have in 2013 when the new Big East debuts.''We're not fi nished,'' Big East Commissioner Mike Aresco said. ''We obviously have some other plans for expansion.''Th e Big East is also on the open market, trying to negotiate a pivotal new television contract.

Writing a Buffalo Bills sea-son eulogy in the last week of November is one of them.While some of you rely on the calendar to tell you when to start your Christmas shopping, I have my favorite football falling out of the playoff race to key me in on what time of the year it is.It’s hard to believe, or maybe it isn’t, but again Buffalo fell short in a do-or-die road game that probably killed the season. Still — and absolutely none of us want to hear about it — you could map out a way to the second Wild Card if you wanted, but please don’t mention that to me in passing. Mathemati-cally, it is possible. Logically, the season is over.Yes, that’s what happens when you’re 4-7 and the teams you have beaten have a combined 13 wins — none of which find themselves over .500. Hard to believe in the sense that it’s happened again. I know it’s the NFL, but you would have to think the Law of Averages would at some point involve the Bills. Regardless, it hasn’t. If it feels like the Bills have been 4-7 or 5-6 for the last decade, it’s because they have. Since the 2002 season, Buffalo has been either one of the two records for nine of the past 11 seasons. The two oddballs, you ask? They were 2-9 in 2010 (Chan Gailey’s first year) and 6-5 in 2008 (Dick Jauron contract extension year). Funny how the only time the Bills have been above .500 heading into Week 13 for the last 12 sea-sons, the head coach had just had his contract extended. Low expectations, huh?But, by contrast, I suppose it’s not surprising in the sense that this is the Buffalo Bills.So where do we stand? For the love of my sanity, I’m not even going to contemplate Buffalo being a playoff team. It’s become sickening watch-ing player after player trot out the Chan Gailey motto of saying, “we can still be a playoff team.”You could admire the confi -dence. On a diff erent team, or in another era, perhaps you’d gather around the water cooler and agree to get be-hind this team. As for me, I’d rather be tortured with hours of political advertisements. There’s been a lot of trying years for Bills fans over the last decade-plus, but to me, this year was the final straw. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll be there on Sunday and I’ll be there next year. Part of that is because there are very few things that make Buffalo a major city. The NFL is one of them.No, I’ve just stopped believ-ing. Any burden of hope has been completely erased by another miserable season. It’s times like these where I sit back and wonder why I’m even a fan. But, when the only other local major sport team (including college) is

one marred in a never-end-ing lockout, there isn’t much to turn to.So, I’ll just sit here and waddle with the Bills.Where they go from 4-7 is an interesting question many have asked me and is one I’ve contemplated for a few days. Truthfully, the Bills should be able to beat both Jacksonville and St. Louis at home if the offense gets back on track, but I don’t want to hear about it because they’re simply not good enough to win out. End of story.And since 8-8 won’t make the playoffs (even though it possibly could this year) I’d rather see this team fall apart. Hey, I’m just as sick as saying that every three years, but the simple fact is Gailey is 14-29 as a head coach. That’s a full six games worse than ol’ Jauron (20-23) through 43 games. Let that one sink in.But, being the Bills, I’m sure they’ll find ways to win these utterly meaningless upcoming games as they try to reach the magical land known as .500 — have you heard about it? Comically, it’s become as mythological to Bills fans as Atlantis. As badly as I wanted Gailey to work out, I’m ready for a change. Some say stabil-ity, or lack thereof, has been the core route of Buffalo’s misery. But what exactly are we waiting for by keeping Gailey around? Another year of passing on a quarterback who they aren’t sold on?I guess Buddy Nix has done an OK job. While I’m willing to admit he’s done a pretty good job in the first round — something no general manager has been able to do in Buffalo — he’s failed mostly everywhere else. Sure, signing Mario Williams was nice, no doubt about it. It was a smart move both on and off the football field. But, unfortunately for Nix, he’s not finding much tal-ent in the later rounds and has inexcusably misidenti-fied Ryan Fitzpatrick as a franchise quarterback. In three draft classes — 27 picks overall — Buffalo has selected one quarterback. That was in the 7th round and it was Levi Brown, who is currently a backup quar-terback for the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Yes, that also falls on Gailey, who has been adamant about Fitz being his guy, but that’s no saving grace.Sure, Nix was faced with building off a completely barren roster. If you don’t believe me, go back and look at the 2009 roster — or even 2008— and you’ll scratch your head bald wondering how in the world Jauron won games. In that respect, you give Nix some credit as this team is starting to find some guys that could be consider-ing building blocks.But what does it matter? Players and coaches have come and gone but the results stay the same. In this case, they’ve actually become worse. I’ll commend Nix for slightly turning this around, but if I’m Ralph Wilson, it’s time to start over again. It just seems like the Bills are close, but Gailey and Dave Wannstedt are holding them back. Most importantly, refusing to address the quarterback posi-tion has left this team in neu-tral and I do not really trust Nix or Gailey to be in charge of selecting the next guy.Snow? Check. Bills out of the playoff race? Check. Welcome to December.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — If Alabama coach Nick Saban doesn't like the way the Bowl Championship Series is play-ing out, Florida coach Will Muschamp has a solution.''Well, I can switch and go to Atlanta if he doesn't want to go to Atlanta and play the Dawgs,'' Muschamp said Monday. ''Be careful what you ask for, Nick.''Saban said Sunday that is isn't fair that the fi ft h-ranked Gators likely will play in the Sugar Bowl over the loser of the Southeastern Conference title game. No. 2 Alabama plays No. 3 Georgia for the SEC title Saturday, with the winner advancing to the BCS

title game in Miami and the loser probably landing in the Capital One Bowl in Orlando.''It's not really a great scenar-io,'' Saban said. ''You play your way into the (SEC) champi-onship game, which means you're the best team in your division. ... It doesn't seem quite right, but it is what it is. I don't really know what me commenting about it is going to do to change it. But I don't feel good about it.''Muschamp worked for Saban at LSU and with the NFL's Miami Dolphins, and the two remain on good terms.Florida (11-1) is essentially locked into the Sugar Bowl. Th e Gators are ranked No. 4 in the latest BCS standings, and even though they are off this weekend, probably

won't fall. Th e top four teams are guaranteed spots in BCS

games as long as no confer-ence sends more than two

teams. It will be nearly impos-sible for a two-loss Alabama or Georgia team to stay ahead of Florida.Th e Gators, though, aren't lobbying for anything.''We knew the rules of engage-ment when we started the season,'' Muschamp said. ''I'm not one that's going to sit there and complain about it. It is what it is. We had our op-portunity in Jacksonville, and we didn't get it done.''Th at's our fault. Nobody else's.''Florida's lone loss came against Georgia in Jackson-ville. Th e Gators turned the ball over six times, including once at Georgia's 5-yard line with 2:06 remaining. Florida needed a touchdown and a 2-point conversion to tie

the game at 17. Jeff Driskel found tight end Jordan Reed for a 13-yard gain, but Reed fumbled while trying to gain extra yards.Georgia recovered and ran out the clock.Th e 17-9 loss cost the Gators a berth in the SEC title game and a shot at the national title.Muschamp said he's looking forward to college football's four-team playoff , but won't complain that it's not in place already.''It is what it is this year,'' Mus-champ said. ''I'm not a guy that's going to sit there and belly-ache about the rules. Th ey were set before the sea-son started. We knew the deal. I'm not going to sit there and complain about it. We should have won the game.''

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Evan Longoria wants to be with the Tampa Bay Rays for his entire big league career.Th e slugging third baseman got his wish Monday when they Rays agreed to a $136.6 million, 10-year contract that adds six guaranteed seasons and $100 million.''I always wanted to be kind of a benchmark player ... the guy that you could think about or associate with the organiza-tion,'' Longoria said. ''My goal from Day One was to be the fi rst player that played their whole career here, to be the fi rst guy that came into the or-ganization and went out in the organization, and played all the years in between. Th ere's no better place for me.''Th e agreement with the three-time All-Star incorporates the remainder of the 27-year-old's existing contract, which called for him to earn $36.6 million over the next four seasons. Th e new deal includes a team option for 2023 that could make the deal worth $144.6 million over 11 years.

''It's a very exciting day for us,'' Rays principal owner Stuart Sternberg said. ''For Evan to have the confi dence in us, and I know the confi dence that we have in him, to re-up so to speak for the long haul. Th is is just an enormous commit-ment for us.''Longoria said a no-trade provision is not included in the deal, although aft er the second day of the 2018 season he would have a right to block trades as a 10-year veteran who spent his last fi ve years with the same team.Just six games into his major league career, Longoria agreed in April 2008 to a $17.5 mil-

lion, six-year contract that included club options poten-tially making the deal worth $44 million over nine seasons.''Th e signifi cance of this is not lost on anybody,'' Rays execu-tive vice president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman said. ''We're extending that commitment now.''His new deal calls for a $5,000,180 signing bonus — the $180 is for good luck. Of the signing bonus, $1,000,180 is new money payable Dec. 15 and the rest is pair of $2 million payments on Feb. 15 and June 14. His 2013 salary is reduced from $6 million to $2 million.

Longoria's salaries remain $7.5 million for 2014, $11 million for 2015 and $12.1 million for 2016. Th e new deal adds salaries of $13 million for 2017, $13.5 million for 2018, $14.5 million for 2019, $15 million for 2020, $18.5 million for 2021 and $19.5 million for 2022.Tampa Bay holds a $13 mil-lion option for 2023 with a $5 million buyout, and escalators could raise the option price to $18 million.Longoria became just the seventh player with a contract guaranteed through 2020. Milwaukee outfi elder Ryan Braun, Detroit fi rst base-man Prince Fielder, Chicago Cubs outfi elder Jorge Soler and Colorado shortstop Troy Tulowitzki have deals cover-ing the next eight years, with Los Angeles Angels fi rst base-man Albert Pujols' contract running through 2021 and Cincinnati fi rst baseman Joey Votto's through 2023.Tampa Bay selected Longoria as the third overall pick in the 2006 amateur draft , making him the fi rst player draft ed un-der Sternberg and Friedman.

Houston and New England did their work on Th anksgiv-ing Day to grab three-game cushions in the AFC South and East, respectively. San Francisco's victory and a loss by Seattle pushed the 49ers' edge to 2 1/2 games in the NFC West. Th e New York Gi-ants are up two games in the NFC East and dropped Green Bay to one game behind Chi-cago in the NFC North. Bears-Packers is the only truly close chase through 11 games.Denver (8-3) had it much tougher than expected at Kan-sas City (1-10), but rallied for its sixth straight win as Peyton Manning threw for 285 yards and two touchdowns.''It's a division opponent; you have to win,'' Broncos corner-back Champ Bailey said. ''You have got to win those games. It is what is going to prepare you for the playoff s.''Manning hit tight end Jacob Tamme late in the fi rst half and wide receiver Demaryius Th omas in the third quar-ter for scores, and that was more than enough to over-come three fi eld goals by the Chiefs' Ryan Succop as Kansas City lost its eighth straight. Knowshon Moreno added 85 yards rushing in place of Willis McGahee, who went on injured reserve this week with a knee injury.Jamaal Charles ran for 107 yards for the Chiefs.Th e victory, combined with San Diego's 16-13 home loss to Baltimore, put the Broncos in position to win the division next week.

''We have to keep going,'' Th omas said. ''Our goal is to keep winning and get to the big game.''Atlanta (10-1) edged Tampa Bay 24-23 as Matt Ryan threw for 353 yards and overcame two big turnovers by leading another late touchdown drive. Ryan teamed with Julio Jones on an 80-yard TD in the third quarter, but needed Michael Turner's 1-yard TD run with 7:55 left to win.Connor Barth missed a 56-yard goal for Tampa Bay (6-5) in the closing minutes, and the Bucs' four-game winning streak ended.''Ten-and-1 is great, but I'll tell you what I've said since the beginning of the season: We're just jockeying for posi-tion,'' tight end Tony Gonza-lez said. ''We just want to put ourselves in the best position, playing the best football. Right around this time is when you want to start jelling as a team and take it on into the playoff s because that's the most important thing.''Elsewhere Sunday, it was San Francisco 31, New Orleans 21; the Giants 38, Green Bay 10; Chicago 28, Minnesota 10; Indianapolis 20, Buff alo 13; Cincinnati 34, Oakland 10; Cleveland 20, Pittsburgh 14; Miami 24, Seattle 21; St. Louis 31, Arizona 17; and Jackson-ville 24, Tennessee 19.On Th ursday, Houston won at Detroit 34-31 in overtime; New England routed the New York Jets 49-19; and Washing-ton beat Dallas 38-31.

NEW YORK (AP) — Two years before the playoff s start in college football, the Southeastern Conference is staging a semifi nal to determine who plays Notre Dame in the BCS title game.Alabama (.9236) was second and Geor-gia (.8911) third in the BCS standings released Sunday. Th e Crimson Tide and Bulldogs play Saturday in Atlanta for the SEC championship.Th e winner will advance to the national championship game in Miami on Jan. 7 against the Fighting Irish (.9979), who locked up their spot Saturday with a 22-13 victory against Southern California.''If you think about what the game means, this that and the other, it doesn't really help you win the game,'' Georgia coach Mark Richt said. ''Th e only thing that helps you win the game is preparation and getting your mind ready to go to battle. Th at's what you've got to do.''Florida (.8882) is fourth in the stand-ings, but with no games left , looks stuck behind their SEC rivals. Th e good news for the Gators is they are likely to get an at-large BCS bid to the Sugar Bowl, while the SEC runner-up is out of the big games all together.''For either one of these teams, it's not really a great scenario,'' Alabama coach Nick Saban said.One way or another, the SEC will get a shot at its seventh straight BCS champi-onship.Th e Bowl Championship Series is in its second-to-last season. It will be replaced by a four-team playoff in 2014.While the race for the BCS title game is now fairly straight forward heading into championship weekend in college foot-ball, there's some intrigue to watch for

involving potential BCS busters.Kent State is 17th in the standings and Northern Illinois is 21st. Th ey'll meet in the Mid-American Conference champi-onship game on Friday night in Detroit.Because it is almost a certainty that the Big East champion — Louisville and Rutgers will determine who that is on Th ursday night in New Jersey — will be ranked behind the MAC champion in the fi nal BCS standings, if either Kent State or NIU can get into the top 16, they would receive an automatic BCS bid. Th e MAC has never sent a team to the BCS.Neither Louisville nor Rutgers is in the BCS top 25 this week.Boise State from the Mountain West is 20th in the standings and also still in the mix for that BCS buster bid if it can jump ahead of the MAC teams and into the fi rst 16. Th e Broncos play Nevada on Saturday to earn a share of the MW title.Th e team that could be hurt most if a BCS buster emerges is Oklahoma. Th e

Sooners are sitting 11th in the stand-ings with a game left against TCU. With another victory, they would seem to be in good shape to get into the BCS even if Kansas State clinches the Big 12 by beat-ing Texas.But that at-large spot could get gobbled up by a BCS buster.Other BCS automatic bids will be deter-mined this weekend in the Pac-12, Big Ten and Atlantic Coast Conference.UCLA plays at Stanford in the Pac-12 title game with the winner going to the Rose Bowl.Wisconsin and Nebraska will play for the Big Ten's Rose Bowl berth.Florida State and Georgia Tech play for the ACC title and a spot in the Orange Bowl.Oregon is fi ft h in the latest standings, and like Florida, done with its regular season and in good shape to receive an at-large BCS bid.

Head coach of the Florida Gators Will Muschamp went on record telling Alabama head coach Nick Saban how much he'd like to switch spots with the Tide. While the Gators are guaranteed to be the No. 2 SEC team selected to a BCS bowl over the loser of the SEC Championship, the winner of that game will head to the National Championship. (AP Photo)

Th e Jamestown Ironmen dropped their second straight home game, losing to the Johnstown Tomahawks, 3-2 in North American Hockey League play on Saturday. Jamestown outshot the Toma-hawks 17-6 in the fi rst, but failed to get the puck past the goaltender as the game was scoreless through one period of play. Johnstown opened up the scoring with a pair of goals in the second. Jamestown fi nally got on the scoreboard with a goal from Victor Johansson assisted by Ross Pavek with 3:04 remaining in the second to bring the score to 2-1. Johnstown scored their second powerplay goal of the game early in the third to extend their lead to two. Luc Gerdes netted his fourteenth goal of the season for the Ironmen with 10:18 left in the third to bring the hometown team back to within one. Th at was all the scoring for Jame-stown, as they couldn’t muster up another goal the rest of the way allowing Johnstown (11-6-6) to hang on for the 3-2 victory. Ironmen head coach Dan Dai-kawa wasn’t disappointed in the eff ort he saw from his team. “We played well,” said Dai-kawa. “We knew that special

teams play would be the dif-ference between winning and losing this weekend and our penalty kill hurt us again (on Saturday).”Johnstown scored two pow-erplay goals on fi ve strong-handed opportunities during the contest while the Ironmen went 0-3. Tim Shaughnessy got the start in goal for Jame-stown, tallying up 24 saves on the night. Matt Lanzillotti and Nathan Ropelewski each chipped in an assist for the Ironmen. Th is is only the second time this season that Jamestown (16-6-2) has been swept in a two game weekend series, and the fi rst time it has happened at the Jamestown Savings Bank Arena. Th e Ironmen are 9-3 at home with two of those losses coming this weekend. “You can’t take any shift s off , or else you will pay the price,” said Coach Daikawa. “We need to refocus and prepare for a long road trip.” Th e sweep started Friday when Jamestown fell to John-stown, 5-3.Th e two teams traded power play goals in the fi rst as Iron-men forward, Evan Ritt scored his sixth goal of the season unassisted, and the game was knotted up at ones aft er a period. Johnstown blanked the Ironmen and rattled off three goals in the second, including a pair of power play

scores to take a commanding 4-1 lead into the fi nal period of regulation. Jamestown was outshot, 34-33 throughout the game and Reid Mimmack took the loss in goal despite making 29 saves. It was apparent that the Iron-men faithful were not pleased with the offi ciating aft er Fri-day night’s contest. Jamestown accumulated 31 minutes in the sin bin on 10 infractions compared to the Tomahawk’s mere nine minutes on three penalties. Johnstown piled up four powerplay goals on seven chances while the Iron-men scored one on their only strong-handed opportunity. Despite the criticisms of the men in stripes, there was no fi nger-pointing coming from Ironmen head coach, Dan Daikawa aft er the game. “In the end, we didn’t get the job done,” said Daikawa. “It comes down to our penalty kill not being as good as their power play.” Daikawa’s players followed suit, putting the blame on themselves and their focus headed into the game. “Aft er this loss, our guys held each other accountable; they know that it is the way you prepare throughout the week that determines the outcomes of games.”Jamestown won’t play another home game until Dec. 21 and is slated for six games away

from JSBA in the meantime. Jamestown will travel to the west coast for a pair of games in California against the Fres-no Monsters next weekend. Th e team will then make their way up the coast to Washing-ton to take on the Wenatchee Wild the following weekend.

FRISCO, Texas — Th e North Ameri-can Hockey League (NAHL) an-nounced the Divisional Stars of the Week presented by Combat Hockey for the week ending Nov. 25, 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 divisions as nominated by their respective teams.

Central Division Star of the Week: Aaron Nelson, goaltender, Bismarck BobcatsBismarck goaltender Aaron Nelson, 19, helped his team to three wins and seven points in four games this past week, all coming four days in a row. Nelson (5’9/165) began the week with a 19-save performance in a 4-1 win against Aberdeen on Wednesday. On Th anksgiving, Nelson came in relief and stopped 12 of 13 shots in a 5-4 overtime loss to Minot. Th e native of Bismarck, N.D., was his

best over the weekend as he posted two more wins against Brookings. On Friday, he made 38 saves in a 2-1 road win in Brookings and on Saturday, he stopped all 25 shots in a 3-0 home shutout of the Blizzard. For the weekend, Nelson stopped 95 of 98 shots, which was good for a 96.9 save percentage. “It was a busy week for us and getting good goaltending was paramount in being able to take 7 of 8 points,” said Bobcats head coach Layne Sedevie. “Aaron is playing hot right now, so it was hard not to put him back between the pipes for each game. He uses his quickness so well in getting from Point A to Point B and came up with some big saves.”

North Division Star of the Week: Casey Nelson, defenseman, Johnstown TomahawksTh e Johnstown Tomahawks picked up two of their biggest wins of the year in a road sweep against the 1st place Jamestown Ironmen. Leading the way was defenseman Casey Nel-son. Th e 20-year-old from Wiscon-sin Rapids, Wis., chimed in with a

fi ve-point weekend in the two wins. On Friday, Nelson (6’1/174) scored a power play goal and added two assists in a 5-3 win against the Iron-men. On Saturday, Nelson had two more assists (including on the game-winning goal) and a team-high seven shots on goal in a 3-2 win. For the season, Nelson has 18 points in 23 games played. Half of his points have come in the month of November and he is currently tied for 2nd in scoring for all NAHL defensemen. “Casey has been an impact player all year and does a little bit of every-thing for us,” said Tomahawks head coach Jason Spence. “He is a tre-mendous skater and knows how to keep the puck alive in the off ensive zone. He has a quick release and really likes to shoot the puck, which is one of main reasons he is able to generate off ense.”

South Division Star of the Week: Omar Mullan, forward, Amarillo BullsWith the Amarillo line-up impacted by injuries to several key off ensive players, veteran forward Omar Mul-lan, 19, took it upon himself to step

up during Amarillo’s two road wins over the weekend in Odessa and help his team into a tie for 1st place in the South Division. Th e native of Dear-born, Mich., scored the most points of any NAHL player during the week as he registered six points (1 goal, 5 assists) in the two wins. On Friday, Mullan assisted on three of Amarillo’s four goals in a 4-3 win, which included picking up the primary assist on the game-winning goal. On Saturday, Mullan had a goal and two more assists in an 8-3 win. In 22 games this season Mullan has 22 points and is third on the team in scoring and second in plus/minus with a +23. “Omar is a guy that has really developed into a good and skilled player for us,” said Amarillo head coach Dennis Williams. “Last year, he found himself in a more physi-cal, grinder role, but this year, he has really been able to be an all-around player who can put up some points. He has found a nice balance between the two and it has made him a really good two-way hockey player.”

West Division Star of the Week: Duggie Lagrone,

defenseman, Fairbanks Ice DogsTh e Fairbanks Ice Dogs completed a perfect sweep in the state of Texas this past weekend with a two-game sweep of the Wichita Falls Wild-cats, which followed up their sweep last week of Corpus Christi. Th is past week, Dallas, Texas native and Fairbanks defenseman Duggie Lagrone, 18, felt right at home as he picked up four points and was +2 in a weekend sweep in Wichita Falls. On Friday night, Lagrone assisted on the Ice Dogs fi rst goal in a 2-1 win. On Saturday, Lagrone had a goal and assisted on two others (including the game-winner) in a 5-3 win over Wichita Falls. In 16 games this sea-son, Lagrone has 11 points. “I think there was a little added motivation for Duggie because he was back in his home state of Texas and had a lot of family in attendance at the games,” said Fairbanks head coach Trevor Stewart. “You could tell he was play-ing with some extra emotion. He can skate really well and does a very good job at beating the forecheck and getting the puck out of the zone and up the ice.”

NASCAR Insider

Bright future for ElliotFor Chase Elliott, the teenage son of

NASCAR veteran Bill Elliott, the future –immediate and longer term – is looking aspromising as ever.

When Elliott shows up at Five FlagsSpeedway in Pensacola, Fla., next week tobegin preparations for the 45th annualSnowball Derby, he’ll be in the unique posi-tion of being the defending winner of one ofthe premiere short track races in America,but also still a teenager.

Elliott, who will turn 17 on Wednesday,already has won some of short track racing’sbiggest events, including the Winchester 400at Winchester Speedway in Indiana and aLate Model race at North WilkesboroSpeedway. And he’s the youngest winner inthe history of the Snowball Derby, a race thathas been won by some of NASCAR’s best rac-ers including Darrell Waltrip, Donnie Allison,Pete Hamilton, Jody Ridley and Kyle Busch.

Elliott has raced at Five Flags severaltimes this summer and feels he’s in positionto contend for the win again.

“I’m always excited to get to race at FiveFlags,” said Elliott, one of the track’s formerchampions. “We learned some things racingthere this year, and I feel like we’ve got asgood a shot at winning as anybody.”

Elliott also is anxious to see if NASCAR’sdecision to lower the minimum age for driversin the Camping World Truck Series to 16 atroad courses and ovals less than 1.1 mileswill lead to some truck races for him nextyear.

“I was definitely excited when I heard aboutthat,” he said, adding that his participation inthe series would have to be approved byHendrick Motorsports, where he’s been signedas a developmental driver, and by Aaron’s, hisprimary sponsor.

“It depends on whether they think it’s theright thing to do, but it’s definitely an option.”

Elliott’s 2013 plans, which are uncertain atthis point, also could include some ARCAevents.

Burton has surgeryNASCAR driver Jeff Burton had surgery

last week to alleviate symptoms of carpal tun-nel syndrome.

“After feeling some recurring symptoms ofcarpal tunnel syndrome, my physician and Idecided routine surgery would be best for thissituation,” Burton said in a release from hisRichard Childress Racing team. “There is nosuch thing as an off-season in this sport, so Iwanted to get it done as soon as possible to beready for my Caterpillar Visitors Centerappearance with Richard [Childress] earlynext month. Plus, we have many test sessionsplanned in December with the No. 31Chevrolet team in preparation for the 2013season with my new crew chief LukeLambert.

“I will be ready to go.”Burton is coming off two of the most disap-

pointing seasons of his career. He hasn’t wona race since 2008, posted just two top-five fin-ishes in each of the past two seasons and fin-ished 20th and 19th in the points standings.

Tragedy for gas manWWOC in Charlotte reported that Bryce

Rueger, the seven-year-old son of RyanNewman’s gas man Andy Rueger, was killedlast week in an ATV accident near his homein Salisbury, N.C. A memorial fund is beingestablished.

NOTEBOOK

Greg Ives in at JR MotorsportsGreg Ives, who was announced this week

as the new crew chief for Regan Smith at JRMotorsports, brings strong credentials to hisnew job. He was the race engineer for all fiveof Jimmie Johnson’s Sprint Cup champi-onships, and he’s been involved in racing formost of his life.

His first racing experiences were as a crewmember for his father Roger and brotherSteve on the short tracks of the Midwest.

“We had an old barn in back of our housewith a concrete pad for the car,” said Ives, a33-year-old native of Bark River, Mich. “Theearliest job I can remember was cleaning thecar. I was five or six years old, and small, andcould crawl around and clean the car. Then Iswept everything out.”

From there, he eventually drove some him-self, with a fair amount of success.

“If I showed up, I was a threat to be fast,contending for wins and in the points chase,”he said.

JR Motorsports also announced that it like-ly will field just one full-time car next year, asno sponsor has been signed to back ColeWhitt, who raced for JR Motorsports thisyear along with Danica Patrick, who is mov-ing to a full-time Cup ride next year.

Team co-owner Dale Earnhardt Jr. is set torun a limited number of Nationwide Seriesraces for JR Motorsports next year.

Patrick announces divorceNASCAR’s Danica Patrick announced on her

Facebook page last week that she’s divorcing herhusband, Paul Hospenthal.

‘’I am sad to informmy fans that afterseven years, Paul and Ihave decided to amica-bly end our marriage,’’she said. ‘’This isn’teasy for either of us,but mutually it hascome to this. He hasbeen an important per-son and friend in mylife and that’s how wewill remain moving for-ward.’’

Hospenthal, a physi-cal therapist who methis future wife whiletreating her for a yogainjury, is 47. Patrick is 30.

Also last week, Patrick received the 2012Nationwide Series Most Popular Driver Award,which is determined by online voting by racefans.

Townley joins Red Horse team Camping World Truck Series driver John

Wes Townley said last week that he’ll be driv-ing a truck for Red Horse Racing next season.Townley, 22, said he’ll essentially take over theNo. 7 team that fielded trucks for John Kingand Parker Kligerman this season.

King won at Daytona, and Kligerman wasvictorious at Talladega. Townley said hebelieves he, too, can win in the Red Horsetruck, which is owned by Tom DeLoach, a for-mer Mobil 1 executive and fellow Georgianative. DeLoach is from Statesboro, whileTownley is from Watkinsville, but it was inDeLoach’s hometown that Townley’s fatherTony and his partner Zach McLeroy foundedthe Zaxby’s restaurant chain that will sponsorTownley’s truck.

John Wes Townley, who was criticized earlyin his career for crashing trucks fairly fre-quently, had a solid season in 2012. He failed tofinish just two races, had two top-10 finishesand eight more of 16th or better in 21 starts.

“I feel like I did what I needed to do this year,which was finish races and get experience,”Townley said. “Now the goal is to go out thereand win some races, and I think I can do it.”

Townley also said he’s hoping to make sever-al Nationwide Series starts next season.

In addition to picking up a nice trophy and aplace in NASCAR history for winning the2012 Sprint Cup championship, Brad

Keselowski is in line to collect millions of dollarsin bonus money and from other sources. Histake from NASCAR alone, which is split withhis Penske Racing team, is estimated to beabout $6 million.

So what does a 28-year-old single person planto do with that kind of cash?

Keselowski said on last week’s NASCAR tele-conference that one of the “toys” on his list is atank.

“I’ve been looking into that really all summerlong,” he said. “It all started with WallyDallenbach, who was telling me a story abouthaving one. I thought, wow, that would be awe-some. So obviously living where I do and beingaround Dale [Earnhardt] Jr., I thought it wouldbe cool if we both got a tank and chased eachother around in the woods with them. It’s kindof our deal.

“I promised myself if I won it, I would buy onewhether Dale does or not. It was kind of a littlebit of motivation, I should say.”

He said he’s not really into buying trophies forhimself, but a tank is different.

“I think a tank would be pretty cool,” he said.“I want to put one together and have some funwith it. When I’m done playing with it, I’ll justpark it in the driveway and scare off people whoaren’t supposed to be around. I don’t know. Itwill be fun either way.”

He said he’ll likely try to find a vintage model.“I want to get something from World War II to

Korea era, something in the ’40s to mid-’50s,era,” he said.

A good-running tank shouldn’t put toomuch of a dent in Keselowski’s wallet. They’refor sale on military vehicle websites startingat around $250,000.

As NASCAR’s newest champion, Keselowskidrew plenty of notice and some criticism forappearing to have consumed several adult bev-erages before some of his post-race interviewsfrom Homestead-Miami Speedway in the hoursafter he clinched the Cup championship. But ona teleconference with reporters two days later,he expressed no regrets.

“I think everybody faces their criticism nomatter what you do,” he said. “You’re nevergoing to get all of the people to like somethingthat you do. It’s not possible. Someone’s alwaysgoing to dislike something you do, and you haveto roll that off your shoulders and move on.”

He said that if a person remains true to him-self, it’ll all work out in the long run.

“I had fun, and I wanted to show that fun andenjoy it with others,” he said. “I’m more thrilledthat people enjoyed [it] than I am disappointedto questioning my path because someone elsedidn’t like it.”

TV ratings for last week’s Sprint Cup sea-son finale at Homestead-Miami Speedwaycontinued a trend of Chase races drawingfewer viewers than comparable events lastyear.

The Ford EcoBoost 400 earned a 3.5household coverage rating, averaging3,444,706 viewers, according to the NielsenCompany. Those numbers were down fromlast year’s 3.6 rating with 6.8 million view-ers.

Overall, the 10 Chase races on ESPN hada rating average of 2.7 with 4.2 millionviewers, compared to a 3.1 rating and 4.763million viewers last year.

NEW YORK (AP) — Com-ments on the Bu� alo Bills by the AP Pro32 panel (ranking in parentheses):

BUFFALO BILLS (23)Chris Berman (ESPN, 23) — Four of last � ve at home � nally.Cli� on Brown (Sporting News, 25) — Play-calling, de-fense, turnovers — something always seems to be amiss.Cris Collinsworth (NBC Sports, 23)Rich Gannon (CBS Sports/SiriusXM NFL Radio, 26) — Never good when your star wide receiver starts question-ing the head coach who just happens to be the play caller.Bob Glauber (Newsday, 22) — Chan Gailey still thinks

there's a chance for a playo� run, but his team's perfor-mance sure indicates other-wise.Rick Gosselin (Dallas Morn-ing News, 24) — In the four games since the bye, QB Ryan Fitzpatrick has not thrown a touchdown pass longer than 3 yards.Clark Judge (CBSSports.com, 21) — Nope, there's no truth to the rumor that Stevie John-son will coach this team.Ira Kaufman (Tampa Tribune, 25) — � ese phony Bills lack star quality.Pat Kirwan (SiriusXM NFL Radio/CBSSports.com, 23) — Once before the year is out I want to see CJ Spiller get 30 carries and � ve receptions. Can he deliver, will he run out of gas? I just want to see it.

''I didn't mean changing play-calling duties and all that,'' Johnson said. ''I may have said it, but what I meant to say was audible and giving Fitz the audible a little more.''Johnson said he should have chosen his words more carefully, and can appreci-ate why his comments could be perceived as challenging Gailey. He blamed himself, saying he spoke the heat of the moment following a loss that all but mathematically ended the Bills' chances of making the playo� s.''It's all frustration,'' Johnson said. ''I was just frustrated because I know what was at stake playing against In-dianapolis, playing against an AFC opponent and feeling like we need to take their spot. And then they beat us.''� e Bills (4-7) have lost four of � ve and fallen to the fringes of the playo� race in prepar-ing to host Jacksonville (2-9) on Sunday.Gailey played down the stir the comments created, saying he understands Johnson's intention.''I know where he's coming from. Stevie just wants to win,'' he said. ''If you know a guy, you know where his heart is. Even though he might not have said it exactly right, you know where his heart is. And I know Stevie.''Whatever Johnson meant to say, he did get at least one thing right. Something's got to change to a Gailey-designed, Fitzpatrick-run o� ense that's been sputtering at best and has lacked � nish for much of the past two months.Bu� alo has topped 310 yards on o� ense and scored more than 19 points just twice in its past seven games.

� e o� ense has been par-ticularly lethargic in the red zone over its past eight games. In their last 25 drives that entered an opponent's 20, the Bills have scored nine touchdowns and settled for 12 � eld goals.Against Indianapolis, Bu� alo was limited to scoring a touch-down and two � eld goals on three red-zone opportunities.� e lack of production is what sparked Johnson's outburst following the game, when he said: ''I think we need to let our quarterback call these plays. He's out there on the � eld. He sees the adjustments that need to be done.''Johnson then added: ''I think that (Fitzpatrick) has the ability to control the o� ense 100 percent. I think we should take advantage of that.''� is marked the second time in three weeks Johnson's been perceived to question Gailey's play-calling decisions.Following a 37-31 loss at New

England on Nov. 11, Johnson second-guessed why rookie T.J. Graham — and not a more established receiver — was the intended targeted when Fitzpatrick threw an interception in the end zone in the � nal seconds.Johnson on Monday said he would never question Gailey because he owes his success to the coach. A� er riding the bench for much of his � rst two seasons in Bu� alo, Johnson � nally got his shot in 2010, Gailey's � rst season.Ever since, the former seventh-round dra� pick blossomed into the team's No. 1 receiver, which led to him signing a � ve-year, $36.25 million contract in March.''I'm not questioning my coach,'' Johnson said. ''I've got too much respect for him to go about it the way it's perceived to be. So everything's good.''Fitzpatrick was put into the position of having to defend both his coach and receiver.

� e quarterback said he's comfortable with the freedom Gailey provides him to call plays when opportunities present themselves.As for Johnson, Fitzpatrick ac-cepted the receiver's explana-tion.''I know, this morning, he was a little distraught because he felt like what he was saying got misconstrued as he was questioning Chan,'' Fitzpat-rick said. ''And that's not the point that he was trying to get across. But you can ask him. He loves Chan.''NOTES: DE Chris Kelsay's status is uncertain a� er the 10-year veteran aggravated a neck injury against Indianapolis. ... Gailey called it ''touch and go'' whether DE Mark Anderson (le� knee) and cornerback Aaron Williams (right knee) will be ready this week. Ander-son has missed six games and Williams three. ... Bu� alo has converted six of 25 third-down chances in its past two games.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Until Sunday, the Jack-sonville Jaguars hadn't held a second-half lead at home all season.No wonder it nearly caused problems.Moments a� er Cecil Shorts III caught a pass from Chad Henne and raced 59 yards to give the Jaguars a 14-6 lead in the third quarter against Ten-nessee, two o� ensive linemen tried to jump into the stands to celebrate. Luckily for the Jaguars, rookie guard Mike Brewster was unable to leap the wall.O� cials warned coach Mike Mularkey that his team nearly drew a penalty for unsports-manlike conduct.''I did not know there was a rule that you couldn't have more than one guy do the leap,'' Mularkey said Monday. ''It's a good problem.''One the Jaguars (2-9) would gladly welcome again as they try to build on their 24-19 victory Sunday that snapped a seven-game losing streak. � ey play at Bu� alo (4-7) on Sunday, trying to start a win-ning streak.For Mularkey, it's a return to where he got his � rst head-coaching job.For Chad Henne, it's the � rst of four consecutive games against his former division, the AFC East, and a chance to keep the o� ense moving in

the right direction.Henne completed 17 of 26 passes for 261 yards, with two touchdowns and an intercep-tion against the Titans. Not too shabby for a guy making his � rst start in more than 13 months.Henne's � rst pass was tipped and intercepted, and he was sacked seven times, but he overcame those mistakes with clutch throws to Shorts, rookie Justin Blackmon and tight end Marcedes Lewis.''He was smart with the football,'' Mularkey said. ''He just did a good job protecting the football and giving us a chance even if we had to punt the ball. He was smart there. ... I thought his performance was very gutsy.''Henne earned the starting job last week at Houston, where he threw for 354 yards and four touchdowns in relief

of injured starter Blaine Gab-bert.Henne has a chance to keep the gig going into 2013 if he continues to play well down the stretch.But the Jaguars aren't ready to anoint Henne as the fran-chise quarterback just yet. A� er all, it's only been two games and Henne's perfor-mances surely seem better coming on the heels of Gab-bert's 24 mediocre starts.''He's made some really good plays for us,'' Mularkey said. ''He's made some good throws and some good reads for us. Players have made plays for him very well. ... He's made some throws. He's done a great job of some of the reads we've asked him to do. He, too, has things he can get better at in both games that he's played so far, but he's being very smart with the ball, especially in the

pocket.''When it's not there, a sack is better than a sack-fumble or throw it away and get a pick. He's eliminating the worst thing that can happen on plays.''Shorts, rookie Justin Black-mon and tight end Marcedes Lewis have bene� ted the most with Henne under center.Shorts has seven receptions for 186 yards and two touch-downs. Blackmon has 12 catches for 298 yards and two scores. And Lewis has hauled in seven passes for 96 yards and two TDs.''I feel like more of an expe-rienced quarterback,'' Henne said. ''I think you learn a lot about yourself, especially in your � rst four years, so I've been through a lot. Really only had two years under-neath my belt as a starter, so I'm still learning a lot of things about myself and working on things that I can improve on.''Inconsistency was Henne's main issue in Miami, so playing well over the � nal � ve games could be the dif-ference between locking up the starting spot and leaving the Jaguars still looking for answers at quarterback.''I think a lot of it has been con� dence,'' Mularkey said. ''I am happy that he is per-forming like he is right now. We brought him in here was to do what he's doing right now.''

Since taking over for the injured Blaine Gabbert two weeks ago, journeyman quarterback Chad Henne has thrown for 615 yards and six touchdowns. The Bills are well familiar with Henne, who recently played for the Dolphins. (AP Photo)

Th e Amerks leading goal scorer, Brennan buried two short-handed goals within a span of 6:35. Th e Amerks struck fi rst when Flynn scored his sixth goal of the season at 6:14 of the fi rst period. Mark Pysyk was cred-ited with the assist aft er his shot from the point rebound-ed off Devils goalie Jeff Frazee near the right circle.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal mediators are entering the stalled NHL labor talks, with the season's fi rst 2½ months already lost because of the lockout.George Cohen, director of the Federal Mediation and Con-ciliation Service, said Monday the parties had agreed to use the agency. He assigned three mediators to assist negotia-tions — deputy director Scot Beckenbaugh, director of me-diation services John Sweeney and Commissioner Guy Serota — who was removed later in the day because of a Twitter account that may have been tampered with.Th e sides are to meet sepa-rately with the mediators Wednesday."While we have no particular level of expectation going into this process, we welcome a new approach in trying to reach a resolution of the ongoing labor dispute at the earliest possible date," NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said.Cohen has worked with the players' associations for Major League Baseball, helping end the 1994-95 strike as an outside counsel, and the NBA. He was an adviser to the NHL players' union before joining FMCS three years ago."We look forward to their

involvement as we continue working to reach an equitable agreement for both the players and the owners," said Donald Fehr, executive director of the NHL Players' Association.Cohen mediated during the 2010 negotiations in Major

League Soccer and 2011 talks in the NFL and NBA, along with this year's dispute be-tween the NFL and its on-fi eld offi cials.Cohen said Serota was re-moved because "within one hour aft er I issued a press

release ... it has been called to my attention that there are issues involving an allegedly hacked Twitter account as-sociated with Commissioner Guy Serota." He said Serota was removed "to immediately dispel any cloud on the me-diation process, and without regard to the merits of the allegations."Hockey players and manage-ment have not negotiated since last Wednesday. Th e NHL has canceled more than one-third of its regular season, including all games through Dec. 14, the New Year's Day outdoor Winter Classic and the All-Star weekend sched-uled for Jan. 26-27 at Colum-bus, Ohio."I have had separate, infor-mal discussions with the key representatives of the National Hockey League and the Na-tional Hockey League Players' Association during the course of their negotiations for a suc-cessor collective bargaining agreement," Cohen said in a statement."Due to the extreme sensitiv-ity of these negotiations and consistent with the FMCS's longstanding practice, the agency will refrain from any public comment concerning the future schedule and/or the status of the negotiations until further notice."Beckenbaugh was a mediator during the 2004-05 lockout, a stoppage that caused cancella-tion of the entire season.

AMERKS RECALL PAIR FROM GREENVILLETh e Amerks announced earlier this week that the team has recalled defense-men Drew Schiestel and Matt MacKenzie from the Greenville Road Warriors of the ECHL. Schiestel has appeared in three games with the Amerks and three games with Greenville this season. He was selected by the Sabres with the 59th overall pick in the second round of the 2007 NHL Entry Draft . MacKenzie has appeared in nine games with the Amerks this season, recording one assist and 23 penalty minutes. In two games with Greenville, he scored one goal. MacKenzie was selected by the Buff alo Sabres in the third round (83rd overall) of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft .

A ‘FLYNN-TASTIC’

NOVEMBERAft er recording just one point through his fi rst seven games of the season, fi rst-year forward Brian Flynn has been the Amerks’ most productive and consistent player since the American Hockey League opened play in November. In eight games this month, Flynn has registered an astounding 14 points (7+7) and is averag-ing 1.75 points per game over his current eight-game point streak, which began with an assist in Rochester’s 3-2 win over Hamilton on Nov. 2. More impressively, how-ever, Flynn has compiled four multi-point outings during that stretch, including three of his last fi ve appearances that was highlighted by a career-high four-point eff ort (3+1) against Albany on Friday as he recorded his fi rst career hat trick. Th e Amerks are also 4-1-0-0 this season when Flynn scores a goal.

BRENNAN HALFWAY THEREWith two more goals in Rochester’s 5-2 triumph over Albany on Friday, Brennan is

on pace to shatter Rick Pag-nutti’s 40-year-old franchise record for most goals scored by a defenseman in a single-season. Pagnutti set the mark during the 1972-73 campaign, his fi rst in Rochester, when he netted 18 goals en route to a 55-point season, which led all Amerks defensemen and placed him third on the team in overall scoring. Brennan offi cially reached the halfway point with a pair of shorthanded tallies on Friday to bring his season total to nine through just 16 games this season. Th e fourth-year blueliner fell just two short of the record last season, scoring 16 goals in only 52 games with the Amerks.

TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORTAft er posting back-to-back 3-2 losses to Abbotsford and Binghamton last weekend, the Amerks have seen nine of their fi rst 16 games of the season decided by one goal, includ-ing three straight one-goal contests to begin the month of November. Rochester is 4-4-1-0 in one-goal games this season

aft er fi nishing the 2011-12 cam-paign with 42 such outings last season. Of those nine one-goal games, three have been deter-mined in overtime or via the shootout, for a 2-0-1-0 mark.

BY THE NUMBERSTh e Amerks are 3-3-0-0 (6 points) this season against North Division rivals, but show a 6-3-1-0 (13 points) mark versus non-divisional foes. Th e second period has been Rochester’s strong suit thus far as the club has ac-counted for 23 goals while allowing 15. Th e Amerks have scored the fi rst goal in 12 of the fi rst 16 games of the campaign and show a 7-4-1-0 record when doing so, including a 4-2-0-0 mark at home. Rochester is also 7-1-0-0 when leading aft er two periods, a streak that also shows an unblemished 4-0-0-0 mark at home. Coming off a season-high 51 shots on goal at Binghamton on Nov. 17, the Amerks are averag-ing 32.44 shots per game, the fi ft h-highest output among league opponents.

Amerks Weekly ReportHome-And-Home With Toronto Starts Friday

conference regrouped aft er the latest defection.Boise State and San Di-ego State, currently in the Mountain West, are set to join for football only starting in 2013, anchoring the Big East's new West Division. Also on schedule to join next season are current C-USA members SMU, Houston, Memphis and Central Florida.Navy has committed to join the Big East for football in 2015. Th e conference had planned to fi nd a 14th mem-ber to balance out its divisions even before Rutgers left . BYU and Air Force were top targets for that spot.Aresco said that the Big East could even expand to 16 members, depending on what schools are available.

''We have to let that play out,'' he said.Offi cials from San Diego State and Boise State have said they are still committed to joining the Big East. Boise State President Robert Kustra reiterated that position in a statement Tuesday.''Th e Big East is proactively responding to the national changes in conference affi lia-tions, and Boise State remains committed to building and competing in a strong Big East future,'' he said.Boise State and SDSU offi cials have expressed a desire for the conference to add more schools out West.''We absolutely will be looking at some western schools,'' Aresco said.

Th e Big East's membership also includes seven schools, including Georgetown and St. John's, that either do not have football teams or don't com-pete at the FBS level, but have helped it become a premier basketball conference.Tulane seems an odd choice based on the school's recent performance in football and men's basketball, the two most prominent sports.Th e Green Wave haven't been to a bowl game since 2002 and last made the NCAA men's basketball tournament in 1995. Tulane just com-pleted a 2-10 football season under fi rst-year coach Curtis Johnson.It hasn't always been this way for Tulane. Cowen said in the decade before Hurricane Ka-

trina devastated the school in 2005, forcing it to shut down for a semester, Tulane won more sports championships than any program in C-USA.Cowen said it took three years for the university to fully recover.''Once we recovered fi nan-cially and academically, we invested heavily in athletics,'' he said.He said the school has sunk $125 million into the athletic department for facilities and coaches. Tulane will open a new on-campus football stadium in 2014, which the school hopes will rejuvenate interest in the team.Th e Green Wave currently play their home football games in the Superdome but have struggled to draw fans. Tulane's average attendance for home games was 18,085 this season.Th e Big East has been try-ing to gather as many major television markets as possible and New Orleans comes in at 53rd-largest in the coun-try. Tulane also provides a regional rival for Memphis.East Carolina has been a con-sistent winner in football and looked to get in the Big East for years. Th e Pirates have played in a bowl fi ve out of the last six years and fi nished 8-4 this season, just missing out on a trip to the C-USA title game. Th e Pirates also have no problem drawing fans, with an average atten-dance of more than 47,000 per home game.Holland said East Carolina's next step is to fi nd an ''equal-ly exciting and competitive environment for the 18 sports other than football.''

Longoria played in just 74 games in 2012 because of a partially torn left hamstring. He underwent a minor surgi-cal cleanup procedure on the hamstring Nov. 20 and is expected to be ready for spring training.''With the time that we had now, there's no doubt that I'd be able to recover and be at 100 percent or close to it by (the start of) spring training,'' Longoria said.Longoria will rehab the leg during the winter and will not participate in next year's World Baseball Classic.Tampa Bay was 41-44 during Longoria's absence, and 47-27 with him in the starting lineup.Th e two-time AL Gold Glove winner and 2008 AL Rookie of the Year ranks second on the Rays career list with 130 home runs, third with 456 RBIs and fourth with 161 doubles.

Typically I take off the last Friday of archery season and spend that last day bowhunt-ing before the orange army — this is a term of endearment to me, I love gun season, too — hits the woods. Th is year was diff erent, as I’d taken a buck already and decided to chill out on Friday rather than hunt. You know, the way we used to before New York State changed the gun opener to Saturday and ruined what used to be a nice relaxing weekend at camp. Quick rant: Back when the opener was Monday, you could come down to camp Friday night or even Satur-day morning and spend the weekend relaxing — doing whatever chores needed doing or taking a stroll in the woods and hanging a stand or two if you we so inclined. Th at night you could drink whatever it is you drink and play cards with your buddies because you didn’t have to be up and coherent at the crack of dawn until Monday. But, no, now it’s ALL BUSI-NESS. You come down Friday night, get all your stuff ready to jump in to in the morning, and get in bed. No drinking, no cards, no heading to town for wings, no fun. I miss those

two days of decompressing from bow season before the Monday opener, and that’s the general consensus of most hunters I know, gun and bow alike. Rant over.Th is year I headed down to camp Th ursday night to watch the Bills play Miami in the NFL Network game. Lo and behold we spanked them and all of a sudden had a rea-sonable look at the playoff . Th ankfully the Colts crushed that dream and we no longer have to consider giving up any

precious woods time to watch this team. But I digress. Saturday morn-ing was absolutely perfect. Temperature below 30, barely a breeze, nice frost on the ground, everything you want in an opener — save for a couple inches of snow. I was on a piece of property that some good friends are kind enough to let me hunt. It’s a beautiful piece of land with agricultural fi elds on both sides and a wide, slow creek winding through it.

Th e kind of place where you expect to see deer, and see deer I did! I had a group of fi ve does come through early, just aft er shooting light (which was about 6:28 a.m. for somebody but I’ll assume that was a misfi re). I took one of those that dressed out at 150 pounds on the nose, a monster for these parts. First deer with my .35 Rem lever action, so that was cool. Later in the morning I had a grouse hit the ground right at the base of my tree and feed off . Mallards were crashing in to the creek off and on all morning startling me back in to consciousness. Deer were moving most of the day, how-ever I didn’t see a buck. I didn’t see another human being either, which was awesome. All in all it was a fantastic day in the woods. Hope you all had a safe and successful opener as well. Feel free to send your pictures into [email protected] along with a little back story too if you please, we’ll publish as many as we can.Tacks Call is an avid outdoors-men with countless years of experience. He doesn’t want to come across as some expert, just a regular schmoe who hunts and fi shes in the area. You can reach him at [email protected].

Environmental Conservation

Th e New York State Depart-ment of Environmental Conservation (DEC) submit-ted its proposal for limiting the amount of phosphorus discharged into Chautauqua Lake to the U.S. Environ-mental Protection Agency (EPA), DEC Commissioner Joe Martens announced. Th e proposed limits to foster compliance with water qual-ity standards, known as a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL), are required under the federal Clean Water Act."Chautauqua Lake is a west-ern New York treasure that in recent years had beach closures due to algae blooms triggered by excessive phos-phorus in the lake," Com-missioner Martens said. "Th is summer was a particularly bad one for the lake, with beach closures and numerous complaints of algal blooms, including toxic blue-green blooms. Th is TMDL provides a specifi c program to improve the lake's water quality."Since 2004, DEC has identi-fi ed Chautauqua Lake as a waterbody not meeting water quality standards and needing a TMDL to bring it into com-pliance. DEC prepared the TMDL and submitted it to EPA for its approval. EPA has 30 days to approve or modify the TMDL.

A TMDL specifi es the maxi-mum amount of a pollutant that a waterbody can receive and still meet water quality standards. TMDLs account for all contributing sources which include point sources such as wastewater treatment plants and nonpoint sources such as agricultural runoff , and natural background lev-els. Th e TMDL also account for seasonal variations in the pollutant load and incor-porates a margin of safety that considers unknown or unexpected sources of the pollutant.Th e federal Clean Water Act (CWA) requires states to de-velop TMDLs for waterbod-ies identifi ed as not meeting water quality standards. Th e TMDL process allocates required reductions in pol-lutant loadings to specifi c sources to bring waters into compliance. Under the CWA, states are required to submit proposed TMDLs to the EPA for approval.Among other actions, the TMDL requires the three largest wastewater treatment plants serving the Chautau-qua Heights Sewer District, North Chautauqua Lake Sewer District and Chau-tauqua Utility District, all in the Town of Chautauqua, to implement relatively low-cost chemical addition to remove phosphorus by next summer. More signifi cant treatment upgrades would be required by 2018.
