teers to help.”Kaye Young, along with Carol Kindberg is a co-chair for The Living Christmas Tree. Director of the show is Brian Bogey, who is in charge of looking for holiday songs that will be sung at the event.This year’s performance will focuses around the title piece ‘All Is Well’ written by Dennis and Nan Allen. The music included

This week:THANKFUL FOR ‘FAMILY’
By Katy WiseContributing Article
A couple of weeks ago, I talked about being grateful at every time of the year. So in order to ‘practice what I preach,’ as they say, I am going to share with you what I am most grateful for.Although I am stating my gratitude at the very time of year that you would expect, I assure you that I am grateful for this year round, and I hope that my thank-fulness shows every day of the year, not just the week of thanksgiving.This year, more so than any other year, I am thank-ful for my family. I have been abundantly blessed with a family that is not limited to those I am blood related to.If you would rather not be subject to some very mushy words about the fantastic people in my life, consider this your opportunity to opt out of reading this article, because that is exactly what it is going to be.I have always been grate-ful for the family that I was born into. My parents have been supportive of every good endeavor that I have ever taken on, and I have never doubted their sup-port. Notice that I say every ‘good’ endeavor. I say this because, unlike many parents nowadays, my parents raised me. I was not allowed to do everything I wanted. In high school, I really didn’t have a social life. As a teenager, I didn’t understand, but now I am so grateful for this. The same reason that I was not allowed to hang out with many of my school-mates, is the very reason that I was spared many hardships. Unlike most 20 something-year-olds, I can honestly say that I never once drank alcohol or did drugs. I have been the classic ‘good girl’ for my whole life, and I am proud of that title. None of that would have been possible if not for good parents, and good siblings who convinced me that none of that normal ‘teenage stuff ’ was worth my time.Having a good family, that despite my awkward years, and rebellious teenage moments, stuck with the discipline and helped me to not go into my marriage, or my life as a mommy, with any regrets.Take courage, if you are a parent who thinks you have a rebellious teen that could grow up to hate you one day. We had our moments, but now that I am older, I cannot put into words how happy I am that I never experienced the things of this world.
My family and I are still very close, quite literally. My husband and I live next door to my parents, and are raising our children in the house that I grew up in. Joshua, who turns three this week, will be blowing out his birthday candles at the same countertop that I did when I turned three. Andrew will someday take his fi rst steps on the very fl oors where I learned to walk on my own. There’s just something that is so precious about this to me.Sorry to be so sappy, but sometimes it is good to make yourself cry just because you have so much joy. My goal is also to make both of my mothers cry while reading this, which is a perfectly attainable goal.Though there is no blood link between us, the other mother that I mentioned is my mother-in-law. Her and my father-in-law are like ‘bonus parents’ to me. Un-like the stereotype, we are incredibly close, and I love that we are able to joke and laugh together.They are always available for a Wal-Mart run when one of their grandbabies needs something, and they are invaluable babysitters. Awesome with both of our children, I know that our kids will grow up with terrifi c memories of their childhood, as a result of having not just one, but two sets of grandparents that are crazy about them.Especially with two kids now, I have come to appre-ciate my ‘bonus mom’ more than I ever thought I could. Not to say that I didn’t love her already, but you rarely hear positive talk about in-laws. My husband’s mother spends at least fi ve hours a week with me and the boys, and I enjoy every minute of it.It is such a blessing to have a good relationship with them, and to live so close. From the very moment that I met my husband’s family, I have always felt included, and like I was part of their family. Not just the woman who married their son, but a daughter to them.There are many other people that I am blessed to know in my life, but there are many other opportuni-ties throughout the year to tell them, too. Many are not family, but close friends that have become family to me.Whoever your ‘family’ is, make sure that you let them know how grateful you are to have them in your life. It doesn’t have to be on thanksgiving, and you don’t have to publish it, but make sure that they know. Not one of us are in this world alone, so appreciate the people that you’ve been given.

Business Saturday, the day will be a part of their promotional calendar. Of those small-business own-ers incorporating Small Business Saturday into their holiday plans, 70 percent say Small Business Saturday will be helpful in attracting new customers.Small Business Saturday has become an important fi xture on the business calendar for merchants and an increasing number are investing more money and providing additional incen-tives to reach customers, according to the organiza-tions.Even as social media and word of mouth remain the top methods for business owners to reach customers with their Small Business Saturday off erings, the number of business owners who say they will rely pri-marily on paid advertising (TV, radio and newspaper) to promote Small Business Saturday has doubled (18 percent versus 9 percent in 2012).Discounts continue to be the top incentive used to encourage consumers to Shop Small, but more business owners nationwide are planning to reward customers by off ering them a free gift with purchase (33 percent, up from 20 percent in 2012).The busy holiday season often demands a more robust workforce; a large number of business owners are looking to their local communities to hire the help they need to meet con-sumer demand this holiday season.Nearly 73 percent of local small business owners aware of Small Business Saturday said they make it a point to hire employees from their neighborhoods.Small Business Saturday, now in its fourth year, falls between Black Friday and Cyber Monday and serves as the traditional kickoff to the holiday season for independent retailers and restaurateurs.The day was created in
response to small business owners’ most pressing need, more customers, and has since grown into an annual celebration of the indepen-dent businesses that help boost our local economies.“Small-business owners are always looking for new ways to creatively promote their products and services — especially in a tough economy,” Dan Danner, NFIB president and CEO, said in a press release. “Small Business Saturday is a reminder of how im-portant the small-business sector is to our economy and why it’s so important to Shop Small all year around.”Findings from the survey also uncover the lengths to which small businesses are ready to go to promote their activities on Small Business Saturday.Among those that plan to incorporate Small Business Saturday into their holiday promotions:•75 percent say the day would be more eff ective if communities participated together by hosting events.•39 percent are planning to collaborate with other small businesses in a com-munity event to promote Small Business Saturday.•33 percent rely on social media most to promote Small Business Saturday to their customers.The Small Business Sat-urday Insights Survey was created to provide a win-dow into holiday planning for small business owners.Other key survey fi ndings include:•67 percent will off er discounts on specifi c items or general discounts on the day.•36 percent will off er coupons for future off ers or discounts.•32 percent are starting their holiday promotions earlier than last year.•21 percent are planning to increase the number of em-ployees working on Small Business Saturday.

• If you have been injured in an auto accident, New York State Law requires the insurance carrier for the vehicle you were in to cover your related medical expenses and any lost wages (Insurance Law Section 5103).
• Recently, many insurance carriers are attempting to avoid this legal duty by paying biased doctors, often from outside the area, to support them in cutting off these impor-tant benefits.
CAMPBELL & SHELTON LLP has taken the following steps to protect our clients:
• We will send an investigator to any suspicious exams and videotape the physician.
• We will sue any insurance carrier who denies our clients their benefits without a validbasis (we recently obtained a judgment against Allstate for a client’s unpaid benefits,costs and interest).
For these and many other reasons, if you are injured in an automobile accident youneed experienced and capable legal representation as soon as possible.
ALERT - NO-FAULT BENEFITS UNDER ATTACK
Dear Pastor, what does walk-ing in love mean?Last week we examined of the concept “walking in love” by us-ing 1 Corinthians 13:4…”Love suff ers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puff ed up.” We saw that this part of the scripture tells us to maintain a patient and toler-ant attitude towards others. This week we will continue the study with verse 13:5, “Does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil.” While there is so much we could say about this verse, I will focus on two major revelations that will
help anyone in their love walk. The fi rst is about “not seeking their own.” Another way to say this…don’t be selfi sh! In my years of ministry, I’ve seen troubling situations between spouses, family members, co-workers, and friends. Inevitably, when you get rid of the fl uff , you fi nd that the root of the confl ict involves someone being selfi sh. I’ve seen selfi shness disguised in comments like “its only fair”, “it’s the principle of the thing”, “if you loved me…”, or “I deserve it”; anything that puts ones needs or wants above another persons. Aren’t we glad that Jesus Christ did not put His comfort
above our need of redemption when He went to the cross! Often, being selfi sh involves the need to “win”, regardless of the cost to the other person or the re-lationship. Dr. Phil, of T.V. fame, often asks a selfi sh show guest, “Do you want to be right? Or do you want to be happy?” Being other-centered rather than self-centered sometimes costs (short term) in pride, but it gains (long term) in relationship happiness. Isn’t that more important? Another important revelation from 1 Corinthians 13:5 is that we should “think no evil.” This means that we should give some-
body the benefi t of the doubt when presented with a potential off ense. There are many times when a careless word or comment gives us the “opportunity” to get mad or annoyed. Holding on to this off ense can create bad thoughts about that person. Rather than do this…choose to walk in love and let it go! Maybe the person had a bad day or has troubles. I always say, “hurting people, hurt people.” Walking in love says that we must forgive them, not only for their benefi t, but for ours!Next week…More on 1 Corinthi-ans 13.
Power From On High Part 2I used to believe that when a person accepted Jesus Christ that they were fi lled with all the Holy Spirit they were ever going to get. I thought that receiving the Holy Spirit happened at the time of salvation. That was what my tradition taught me but it certainly wasn’t New Testament truth. The New Testament is clear: The bap-tism or infi lling of the Holy Spirit is a separate experience altogether from salvation. Now let me be clear: When a per-son accepts Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior they become Born Again or Born of the Spirit. The New Birth is a work of the Holy Spirit. They have the witness of the Spirit and the love of God is poured into their hearts. They
are made righteous in the eyes of God and receive Eternal Life. They can be led by the Spirit and pray and be heard by God. ( John 3:3,5, 1 John 5:1, Rom 5:5, Rom 8:14, 2 Cor 5:21) So in no way am I saying that someone who is Born Again is void of the Holy Spirit. However, there is a greater dynamic of the Spirit waiting for all believers. That is where the BAPTISM of the Holy Spirit comes in.I want you to see in your Bible that salvation and the baptism of the Holy Spirit are two sepa-rate experiences. Acts 8:14-17 is just one passage that makes this point clear. In the fi rst half of the chapter a man named Philip goes and preaches in the city of Samaria. While he is there many
people believe on the Lord and get saved. Now notice what it says starting in verse 14. “Now when the apostles which were at Jeru-salem heard that Samaria had RECEIVED THE WORD OF GOD they sent unto them Peter and John who when they came down prayed for them that they might RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT.” Notice it said that these Samaritans had ALREADY received the Word of God. What does that mean? It means they ac-cepted Christ. But you must keep reading. Verse 16 says, “For as yet He (the Holy Spirit) was fallen upon none of them: ONLY they were baptized in the Name of the LORD JESUS.” Do you see that? These people had already given a public witness that they believed
in Christ. When did that happen? When Philip preached to them. Now in verse 17 it says, “Then they laid there hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit.” If it were true that you get all the Holy Spirit you will ever get at the moment of salvation then why did Peter and John have to go to these Samaritan believers? These people were saved when Philip preached but they received the Holy Spirit several days later. Salvation and receiving the Holy Spirit are two separate experienc-es. It was important to the apostles that these believers receive the fi ll-ing of the Spirit. Why would God want us to have any less than these Samaritan believers? A closer look next week.

In the spirit of the holiday season, #GivingTuesday is a movement to slow down after Black Friday and Cy-ber Monday and give back to charities and non-profi ts globally and in the local community. CWC is kick-ing off the giving season by off ering the public an op-portunity to off set holiday excess by donating funds to conserve critical wetland
habitat at Whitney Bay in the town of Chautauqua. CWC is seeking to raise $5,000 on #GivingTuesday toward this project. “#GivingTuesday is a day to re-focus our attention from crazy midnight shop-ping sprees back to the real spirit of the holidays. It’s a day to give back to your community and to great causes,” said CWC Conser-vationist Tricia Bergstue. “We’re very excited to be involved in this new move-ment, and we have a won-derful project in Whitney Bay. Its conservation will benefi t everyone by pro-tecting healthy landscapes for healthy waters.”
In celebration of this second-annual holiday, the organization will host an all-day web party on their Facebook page at http://facebook.com/chautauqua-watershed. The festivities will include a new video series featuring CWC’s su-perhero, the Watershed De-fender, as well as a surprise special announcement. The fi rst 8 people to give $50 or more on #GivingTuesday will also receive a CWC burgee fl ag. In addition, all donations made through the organization’s symbolic animal adoption program on #GivingTuesday will go toward the purchase of Whitney Bay. Donations can be made on Tuesday, Dec. 3 on the CWC web-site at www.chautauquawa-tershed.org. “The great thing about this day is that even if someone can’t give in dollars and cents, they can still be a huge help to us by spread-ing the word about our #GivingTuesday web party to their friends and fam-ily,” noted Bergstue. “We hope our community will
rally behind us and share our mission and work with their networks this Decem-ber 3.”The Chautauqua Water-shed Conservancy is a local not-for-profi t land trust and watershed education
organization that works to protect water quality through the conservation of lands that store, fi lter and deliver clean water to the county’s lakes, streams and wells. The CWC promotes healthy watershed prac-
tices and off ers technical assistance and land con-sultations to landowners through its Healthy Land-scaping—Healthy Waters Program.

WOMEN’S SECTIONBy Dodi Kingsfi eldContributing Writer
Through the center of most towns in America runs a Main Street, the road where the town post offi ce, a little general store and the gas station are situated. On Main Street may be a bank, a doctor’s offi ce and a little shop or two. It is the street where the town holds their annual 4th of July parade, the location of the city’s park or fl ower garden or is lined with the town’s public parking spaces that fi ll with the trucks, tractors and motorcycles of resi-dents as they conduct their business in town. Before the times of large depart-ment stores and shopping malls, Main Streets were the hubbub of a town, where all the needs of the citizens were in one central location along the main drag and small town busi-nesses were thriving.Over the decades, main-stream America has wandered away from this historical design of a small town in pursuit of the
inexpensiveness and con-venience of name brand, mass produced goods. The mom and pop shops of yesteryear have since closed down, opting for retirement or selling out to the larger name stores. While this business model has proven successful for large corpo-rations, it has damaged the face of Main Street Amer-ica, leaving it lined with empty storefronts, vacant streets and sidewalks and a lack of community cohe-siveness.In an attempt to return the main streets of small town USA to their previ-ous grandeur and rebuild downtowns, many towns have initiated Main Street revitalization programs and similar initiatives with remarkable success. Build-ing shopping malls on the outskirts of town are dis-couraged and the opening of small businesses on the downtown strip are highly encouraged. With each successful business venture on a Main Street location, come more businesses to add to the appeal of a revi-talized downtown.
To help the resurgence of Main Street businesses and stimulate the local economy, small businesses depend on the loyalty of their customers, particu-larly during this busy holi-day shopping season. By committing to the concept of shopping Main Street, consumers help to sup-port their local businesses, stimulate the local econo-my and provide a positive economic environment for other small business owners to fi ll up our Main Streets.By whatever name your town designates it, Main Street USA businesses have unique holiday shopping options that can’t be found in any shopping malls. Your town may still have an old-fashioned hardware store, stocked with shelves of household goods and trinkets that haven’t been seen since Grandma’s attic. Antique stores, book stores and specialty boutiques of-fer unique gift ideas for the hard to buy such as Amish made toys, costume jewelry or writing supplies. If you don’t know what to pur-chase, consider buying gift
certifi cates from a favorite restaurant, ice cream shop, hair salon or coff ee house for your loved one from a Main Street business in your area.By shopping downtown, a resident also immerses themselves back into their community, economically as well as spiritually. The otherwise empty city streets become busy with the hustle and bustle of Main Street shoppers, bringing back the familiar buzz of
a booming downtown. Neighbors become reac-quainted, the elderly get out of the house and see friends, and the community reconnects as they pass each other on the streets or see one another in the stores. Citizens become aware of who the small business owners are in their communities and shop owners have the opportu-nity to develop business as well as personal relation-ships with their customers
and community.Shopping Main Street America brings a commu-nity together in many ways, as neighbors, as business owners and as citizens of a larger village. Avoid the shopping malls and super-stores this holiday season and spend your Christmas money where it makes a diff erence, right in your own back yard on Main Street.
Shopping Main Street
“Help revive the local economy and support your town’s small businesses this holiday season by shopping the stores and booths of your Main Street USA.”

8 CHAUTAUQUA STARFRIDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 2013BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT
By Scott WiseEditor
Throughout the summer and fall months, Chautau-qua County plays host to a plethora of craft shows and festivals. Many area residents fi nd unique ways to supplement their incomes in hard times by resorting to the natural talent that only a crafter knows how to employ. As winter bares down on us, these creative individuals can now resort to an indoor option, by fi nding a home at Lady of the Lake.Located at 29 W. Main Street in Fredonia, Lady of the Lake opened in August 2012 in Fredonia. The business, which is organized by Fredonia resident Patty Marotta, is distinctive in its arena. Off ering a ‘year-round craft show’ of sorts, community members can fi nd the one-of-a-kind crafts they’ve come to love, and for the low prices they may not be used to at some of these stores. That’s because Marotta, who is a crafts-man herself, hasn’t set the store up on a commission-based system.“Our ultimate goal here is to provide a service to the
community,” said Marotta. “When we started the store, there were just one or two other vendors in addition to myself. I began talking with others, and because of the hard economic times more and more needed a way to supplement their income. We invited them in here, as a place for them to sell their merchandise year round.”Lady of the Lake is special because, as mentioned, Marotta collects no com-missions off of the sales that take place in her store.“I’m not so much a store owner as I am an orga-nizer,” said Marotta. “We operate much like a craft show. Folks come in here and rent a space, and then all the money that they get from their product goes right back to them. Their rent is turned around and put right into the rent for the building. I make no money off of any of our vendors.”In a world that is dominat-ed by profi t and the mighty dollar, hearing an entrepre-neur say that they’re not in it for the money is a foreign concept. But Marotta main-tains her stance; she exists to help the community.“I was a nurse for many
years, and my nature has always been to help peo-ple,” said Marotta. “I see people struggling every day because of the shape the country is in. I’m trying to help these people, and help our community at the same time.”One vendor, Spider, off ers homeopathic materials, ranging from homemade lip balm to lotions and steams. “I think one of the great-est things is getting people to appreciate locally made things,” said Spider. “There is a defi nite diff erence in the quality that you’d get here over what the big box stores off er. You’re getting some-thing unique, one-of-a-kind or superiorly crafted.”Lady of the Lake is notori-ous for giving back to the community. In just over a year of business, Marotta has earned a reputation for helping out with fundrais-ers and donations, build-ing beautiful gift baskets donated to raise funds for whatever organizations have asked.“What we want here is for the community to come in and support itself,” said Marotta. “People come in here to shop are supporting people in their very own
community.”Marotta recently took on an intern to reach out to the students at SUNY Fredo-nia, where many have al-ready come in and realized the great gifts they can get for their parents at prices that are unusually low for crafts and homemade items- again due to the lack of commission. “I will keep this palce go-ing as long as I can,” said Marotta. “We’re making a mark here. It’s just getting the word out there to the community.”In addition to unique gifts and crafts, Lady of the Lake off ers birthday parties right in the store. “It’s not something that a lot of places in Fredonia
off er,” said Marotta. “We’ve got jewelry making classes, and we’ve had girls from fi ve years old to high school come for that. Then for the guys we’ve done woodwork-ing classes.”Marotta boasts the area’s largest supply of gemstones, beads and other jewelry making supplies, making her uniquely qualifi ed to provide the special birthday parties. For folks who are look-ing for a place to sell their homemade or crafted prod-uct, Marotta currently has a few tables open, but empha-sizes that they’re going fast. For more information, visit Lady of the Lake on Face-book, or call Patty at 785-9138. Additionally, Marotta is in the works of complet-
ing a website, so check often at www.ladyofthelakestore.com. Customers will be able to place orders, look at product and fi nd out more information online.See below for the full list of vendors at Lady of the Lake:Lady of the Lake (beach glass, jewelry and candles), Spider Herbs, Sam’s Ice Cream, House on the Hill, Organic Scrubs by Jillian, Eye Candy, Beth’s Healing Jewelry, Watkins, OTRA-VEZ, Jewelry by Rachel NY, Jentle Creations, Jew-elry by Lindsay, Dog and Cat Toys by Linda, Tom’s Vintage Clothing, Designs by Natalie, Sweet Pea’s Soaps, Enchanted Hearts Bamboo

CHAUTAUQUA STARFRIDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 2013 9BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT
By Scott WiseEditor
In 1979, a business that had formerly operated as a family fruit farm bravely stepped into a new territory - the wine business. Almost 35 years later, Woodbury Vineyards has secured a reputation as one of the area’s leading wineries, and is already a renowned location for award-winning wines and pairings.“When people come in, it’s a warm, welcoming envi-ronment,” says manager Maria Pizzino. “It’s sur-prising to people, because we still are working on the outside improvements.” Saturday, Nov. 30 is Small Business Saturday, and it serves as a great op-portunity to get out and shop - specifi cally for those with an experienced palate. While Western New York off ers a number of diff er-ent wineries to visit, shop at and enjoy, Woodbury is unique with its ”Sip and Shop” off ering.“Where else can you go and enjoy sipping on a glass of wine while doing your holiday shopping?” remarks Pizzino, off ering something that shoppers can’t take advantage of at
most shopping locations.Where is Woodbury?Woodbury Vineyards is located “ just off the beaten path,” as Pizzino puts it. Indeed, the vineyard’s location boasts a unique advantage over the area’s other wineries in that it aff ords the patron a taste of not only wine, but also the picturesque Chautauqua County countryside. Less than one mile off of Rt. 20, the winery is located at 3215 South Roberts Road in Fredonia.This places them as the closest winery to the thru-way, and to SUNY Fredo-nia, making it the perfect destination for the student looking to grab a bottle of wine for mom or dad before heading home for Christmas.TransformationAs part of an ongoing “transformation,” Wood-bury is continuing to off er new and exciting things to its customers.“We’ve started happy hours, which take place every Friday and Saturday from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.,” said Pizzino. “We feature complimentary appetizers, specials on our ‘wine by the glass,’ and of course the opportunity to mingle with
other wine lovers.” Happy hours also feature wine fl ights. Similar to the samples of beer off ered at micro-breweries, Woodbury’s wine fl ights are a sampling of three diff erent wines, served in separate wine glasses. These wines are presented resting side-by side to the taster in a spe-cial holder.In addition to its wines, Pizzino takes pride in the Artisanal Premium Cheese that Woodbury off ers. “We’re the only place to off er this cheese within 300 miles,” she said.

If you have high speed Internet chances are that you have heard of the term fi rewall. Many people know that a fi re-wall is designed to protect their computer. Firewalls can come in the shape of a software fi rewall or a hardware fi rewall. Software and hardware fi rewalls share some com-mon functions but there are some defi nite strengths and weaknesses to each type.To understand which type of fi rewall is best for you it is important to understand how data moves across networks and the Internet. There are certain rules and protocols for the way that data is moved. There are entire college classes that are given on the subject of networking but I
will attempt to simplify for the purpose of this article. Data can take diff er-ent roads to move from location to another. The endpoints are known as ports. Diff erent Internet based applications are programmed to use dif-ferent ports and these port numbers are regulated by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority, an agency that was founded in 1988. Shutting off traf-fi c on certain ports will prevent certain Internet and network applications from moving data. Turn-ing off a port at the fi re-wall could restrict a virus from spreading through-out a network. Turning off a port on a fi rewall could also prevent people from downloading web pages to their computer. Most fi rewalls are set to allow certain ports to pass traffi c by default. Ports that are used by email and the web are generally allowed. Anything else usually needs to be allowed. So the next decision is whether to use a hardware or a software fi rewall. A software fi rewall is pretty common. The Windows operating system comes with a built in fi rewall that allows for installed applications to pass traffi c from your computer. The Windows fi rewall is prob-ably the weakest fi rewall
that one could use. If you go to downloads.com you can do a search on fi re-walls. Check the ratings and look at reviews to fi nd a fi rewall that might be right for you. What makes a software fi rewall great is also what makes it bad: it allows for individuals to make decisions on what internet applications it wants to block. If someone makes a mistake with their personal software fi rewall, they risk infecting other computers on their net-work.Hardware fi rewalls are commonly used in cor-porate environments and are becoming increasingly popular in home networks. Contrary to the software fi rewall, the hardware fi rewall does not allow individuals to make their own fi rewall rules at their computer. This provides a lower maintenance solution for security and ensures that all of the devices behind the fi rewall have the same security. It’s apparent that with larger corporate networks that a hardware fi rewall is the way to go. It is important to have a fi rewall in home networks today. If you have a wireless router for your home you will fi nd that you have a hardware fi rewall solution. Make sure you stay protected.

LIVING CHRISTMAS TREE, CONTINUED FROM PG 1
Contributed ArticleBova’s Music and Train Shoppe
Just as trains are very syn-onymous with Christmas trees, so are Christmas villages with trolley cars.We have a friend who over the years has created a hand-built Christmas village from scratch. After painting every building, house and shed, strategi-cally placed them on a rolling hillside. He then purchased a Bachmann Auto-Reversing Electric Trolley system and in-serted the track through-out the winding village hillside. It’s absolutely amazing, especially during the evening display when all the lights are on.
The Bachmann auto-re-versing system is a spe-cially designed HO track system that comes with built-in roadbed complete with selected section of curves, straights and a power speed controller.You can set the speed, stop-time and reverse time with ease with the control-ler. When all is said and done, it gives your layout a captivating look of real village life.Bova’s Music and Train Shoppe off ers the Bach-mann auto-reversing sys-tem and a variety of trol-ley cars to fi t your theme. In addition, this system allows you to upgrade you trolley size by adding an “On30” scale trolley car to your layout, simply by
taking the HO trolley off the track and placing the On30 trolley on it. Like the HO trolley, the On30 trolley is a bigger O-27 scale car, but with narrow gauge wheel trucks, mak-ing it to fi t the already HO track. The allows you to keep the same layout, but create a larger size trolley look. It’s truly a unique system.This Christmas, con-sider creating a beautiful village with a Bachman Auto-Reversing Electric Trolley system.

Christmas Trees, Trainsand Trolley Cars
in the church was inspired by a similar church perfor-mance that they attended while visiting Florida, church members got together to see how they could accomplish such a unique production.Much of the original struc-ture is still featured in the Christmas tree, the only replacements being when a piece of wood starts to wear with age, or more space is needed in the tree for the choir.
“People who are seeing it for the fi rst time are really amazed to see it,” said Young, “because it is a structure that is built around the physical design of our church, so it is very unique.”Each year, volunteers have gotten together to reas-semble the same Christmas tree structure and deco-rate it for the upcoming seasonal event. Stored in the trailer of a semi until the following year, the
tree takes a full eight to ten hour day to bring back into the church, set up and decorate.For more information on the Living Christmas Tree, or to purchase tickets before Dec. 4, go to www.fi rstcovchurch.org or call 483-9825. After Dec. 4, tickets will only be avail-able at the church, which is open daily from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Just because the snows are falling doesn’t mean it’s time to sleep on the high school sports scene. In fact, the winter sports season is about to kick into full swing with many area schools partaking in tournaments this weekend or next.
Boys and girls basketball; boys swimming and diving; wrestling; boys and girls bowling; and boys and girls indoor track and fi eld are all on tap in the coming win-ter sports season.
The basketball season generally opens with tournaments through-out the county and this season is no exception. Westfi eld will host a boys basketball tournament beginning Friday, Nov. 29 and continuing on Saturday, Nov. 30. Other teams competiting in the Westfi eld Tip-off Tourna-ment will be Falconer, Forestville, Frewsburg and Sherman.
Westfi eld sported a solid team last season, but will have to fi nd dif-ferent scoring options this season after losing key players Jon Coe, Dylan MacCubbin, Dan Tofi l and Jordan Imm to graduation.
Forestville struggled to a 5-14 record last season, but head coach Ralph Jackson lost only one player to graduation and the Hornets have high hopes for the new season behind key players Wayne Harloff, Jake Nosbisch, Dylan Szumigala and others.
The girls Westfi eld Tip-off Tour-nament will begin on Tuesday, Dec. 3 with the fi nals being held
Friday, Dec. 6. Chautauqua Lake and Panama will be among the teams coming to Westfi eld.
The Lady Thunderbirds are going to be even more dangerous than they were last year when they went 19-1 before losing to Frewsburg in the Section 6 fi nals. Jenna Einink and Ashton Albanesius form as for-midable a duo down low as you’ll see at this level. A pair of fantastic guards in Tara Hunt and Court-ney Hewes gives head coach Eric Schuster plenty of weapons.
Westfi eld will be breaking in a new coach in Matt Eggleston. The fi rst-year coach will get an early test and get to mea-sure where his team is by going against the clear class of the divi-sion in Chautauqua Lake.
The same day the Westfi eld
tournament is concluding, Silver Creek will host its annual girls basketball classic, the Hae Jude Tournament. The tournament opens Friday, Dec. 6 and con-cludes on Saturday, Dec. 7. Silver Creek and Forestville will be among the Chautauqua County teams in the fi eld.
Tammy Rice returns for her second season as head coach of the Silver Creek girls team. She’ll be minus fi ve players that have graduated, but returns key play-ers Jade Lewis, Jordan Brooks and Darrien Spruce.
Forestville is another team that was hit hard by graduation as Ryanne Dugan, Jessica Makuch, Sydney Youngberg, Cherish Pope and Bailey Raynor have all moved on. Alisha Szumigala will need to use
her long, athletic frame inside for the Lady Hornets to fi nd success this season. She’ll have help from Amanda Weaver and Lynanne Woolley. Lisa Szumigala takes over head coaching duties for the fi rst time in Forestville.
There will be plenty of swimming, wrestling and bowling action throughout the week with indoor track slated to begin Friday, Dec. 6 in Lancaster for many teams. Wrestling tournaments will also highlight that weekend with Fredonia headed to the Matthew Marino Tournament and Falcon-er competing in the Eisenhower Tournament, among others.
Be sure to check next week’s Chautauqua Star for photos and results from this weekend’s West-fi eld Tip-off Tournament.

Over 25 years ago, Tom Fils-inger created a universe where the honorable sport of wrestling reigns supreme, where athletes from across the galaxy battle for the rights to be called champion. That universe is brought to life by Filsinger Games’ Champions of the Galaxy tabletop cards and dice game.
“I created the game system in high school,” Filsinger, the com-pany’s creator, writer and owner, said. “I was playing with wres-tlers of that era. I did cards for Hulk Hogan, Macho Man Ran-dy Savage and a lot of the wres-tlers of the era. I started playing with my brother. We had feuds for the belts and all that stuff. I thought if my brother liked it, maybe it’s marketable.”
“I tried to contact the World Wrestling Federation (now World Wrestling Entertainment),” he continued. “They were consider-ing it for months and months. I was talking to Gorilla Monsoon and all these people. At this time I was in my 20s. I was pursuing my career as a college professor and was still doing the game on the side. I actually enjoyed that more. The game was more of a calling for me.”
That calling not only led to the creation of Champions of the Galaxy, but Filsinger has since
added Legends of Wrestling, Ring of Honor, Combat Zone Wrestling, Championship Wres-tling of Hollywood and Chikara to his stable of successful games. Over 100,000 games have been sold worldwide.
“It was just Champions of the Galaxy until 1999,” Filsinger explained. “I didn’t have any licensing to do anything else. Then I met Greg ‘The Ham-mer’ Valentine at a show one time. I asked him if I could do a card of him. He said sure. Then I asked King Kong Bundy when I saw him. Bundy actually plays the game. There’s an interview
with him online where he says he plays the game with his nephew. I met the Iron Shiek and Ted DiBiase. I thought if I asked enough of these guys I could put out a set of legends. That’s how Legends of Wres-tling started.”
The Legends of Wrestling roster contains some of the biggest names throughout the great history of professional wrestling. Curt Henning, the Road War-riors, Andre The Giants, Ivan Koloff and Hacksaw Jim Dug-gan are just a few of the notable names included in the game.
“I have people who help me
write the game cards and people who know wrestling his-tory better than I do,” Filsinger added. “Nature Boy Buddy Rogers wrestled in the 1950s. I don’t know his move set. We look up footage so those play-ing cards are as accurate as possible. The game is only as accurate as the cards make it. So we really do our homework so the game is a representation of the history of wrestling.”
Filsinger has marketed his game all across the country at conven-tions like GenCon and Origins. He’s partnered with some of the wrestlers in his Legends of Wrestling game at these events to really get fans excited.
“Duggan’s a great guy,” Fils-inger said of the man known as Hacksaw. “We had him helps us at a promotion twice. Once in Columbus, Ohio and another in Detroit. He was at our table and always upbeat. People would come and play the game with him. He got to the point where he was teaching people how to play. It was fun because they could play against him with his own card.”
While the Legends of Wrestling franchise is perfect for fans of old school wrestling and fans of other promotions will fall in love with the Ring of Honor or Combat Zone Wrestling versions of the game, Filsinger’s real baby is Champions of the Galaxy.

I’m going to give you a minute to think about the three most suc-cessful franchises in the National Football League —not just this season, but teams that have had prolonged success.
Which teams did you come up with?
It would be hard to argue with the Pittsburgh Steelers, New England Patriots and Green Bay Packers. Though I suppose I could at least consider one or two more teams.
What do those three franchises have in common besides mantles full of Super Bowl titles?
Well, for one, it’s probably more likely that we see a Jaguars-Buc-caneers Super Bowl than any of the three fore-mentioned teams making a splashy free agent sign-ing. Seriously, think about it. The last “big” free agent the Packers signed was Charles Woodson in 2006. But at that time Woodson was considered injury-prone and washed up. All he did in Green Bay was turn his very good career into a certain Hall of Fame career.
The Patriots have made a habit of taking other teams’ trash and turning it into pure gold. Bill Belichick has made the likes of Antowain Smith and Tully Ban-ta-Cain into legitimate NFL stars while getting serious miles from thought-to-be-washed-up stars like Junior Seau and Rosevelt Colvin. Not every organization has the patience, guts and luck to pull off moves like that.
And the Steelers? If you can name the last time the Steelers signed a top free agent you’re a better man than I. Ryan Clark has been vital to their success since signing from Washington in 2006, but was he really considered a top safety at the time? Duce Staley was a stud in Philadelphia, but was pretty washed up by the time he came to Pittsburgh.

Last week vs. spread: 8-6
Season vs. spread: 29-24-3 (.547)
Last week straight picks: 7-6-1
Season straight picks: 30-25-1 (.545)
Bye weeks are done, Thanksgiving will be over by the time this is published and the playoff picture is as clouded as ever in both con-ferences. If you don’t love this time of year, you aren’t a true football fan.
There’s not much to rant on this week. No controversial calls that I can think of and no gigantic choke jobs. Oh wait, yes there was. Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos jumped out to a 24-0 lead thanks to the Pa-triots’ inability to hold onto the ball, but somehow Tom Brady and Co. chipped away at that lead until fi-nally winning in overtime.
I really like Manning and really dislike Brady, but there’s no longer any question that Brady owns Manning. Brady now owns a 10-4 career record against his co-future-Hall-of-Fame quarterback. Yes, it’s a team game but there’s overwhelming evidence that Manning has the bet-ter team this year.
One of these weeks I’m actually going to do really well with my picks. I am a self-proclaimed expert after all. The Thanksgiving games will all be over by the time this edition of the Star comes out, but this is being written on Tuesday and hopefully I can look like a genius with my predictions.
GREEN BAY PACKERS (5-5-1) at DETROIT LIONS (6-5)A tie. Is there anything more anticlimactic? Of course, looking back over that game, the Packers are probably lucky to come out without a loss. Scott Tolzien was horrible once again, but he started the season on the practice squad. You can’t have a practice squad player start under center in the era of the quarterback. Of course, now they have Matt Flynn back. You know, Matt Flynn — the guy who lost his job to Terrelle Pryor AND got cut by the Bills when E.J. Manuel was hurt. Oh my. Luckily Detroit is the master of losing games any way it can. Seriously, do the Lions gameplan to lose? They seem to come up with a new, exciting way to blow a game every week. The Packers whooped the Lions in the teams’ first matchup, but Aaron Rodgers played in the game and Calvin Johnson didn’t. That will be reversed and the outcome of the game will prob-ably follow suit. PICK VS. SPREAD: Packers (+6). STRIAGHT PICK: Lions.
OAKLAND RAIDERS (4-7) at DALLAS COWBOYS (6-5)These two teams had very different weeks last week. The Raiders let Ryan Fitz-patrick throw a last-second touchdown pass to lead the Titans to a much-needed win. Does anyone remem-ber when Fitz threw a late touchdown to lead the Bills to a win over the Raiders, too? Who would have guess that Ryan Fitzpatrick would become public enemy No. 1 in Oakland? The Cowboys, meanwhile, delivered a statement win in New York over the rival Giants. The
Giants spent all week talk-ing trash and the Cowboys were the ones to come through in the clutch. I was as shocked as anyone by that whole sequence. The NFL has to be loving this matchup of two of the most popular teams in America at dinner time on Thanks-giving. Even if Dallas stomps Oakland like a lot of people are predicting, this will be a huge draw in the ratings. Oakland’s offense is bad, really bad, but don’t be surprised if the Raiders defense is able to give Tony Romo and Co. some trou-ble. PICK VS. SPREAD: Raiders (+10). STRAIGHT PICK: Cowboys.
PITTSBURGH STEELERS (5-6) at BALTIMORE RAVENS (5-6)This game is absolutely perfect. A few years back I wrote a scalding article about how it’s total bogus that the Lions and Cowboys always get the Thanksgiv-ing games. Yes I know it’s tradition, but sometimes change is needed. When you have the entire nation tuning in, how about giving us some good rivalry games. Either it’s coincidence or the commissioner reads my commentary, but whatever the reason I got my wish. Not only is this one of the best rivalries in the NFL, but the loser of this game essentially will have it’s playoff hopes dashed while the winner might just control it’s own destiny the rest of the way. Big Ben, Le’Veon Bell and Antonio Brown have the Steelers offense looking much, much better than it did at the beginning of the season. Pittsburgh has won three in a row to save its season and you know the Black and Gold will be ready for this one. Joe Flacco played pretty darn lousy against the Jets last week, but the Ravens defense came up clutch and completely stymied Geno Smith…again. I always say that strange things happen in divisional games. Baltimore is getting three points, but probably only because it’s at home. PICK VS. SPREAD: Steelers (+3). STRAIGHT PICK: Steelers.
JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS (2-9) at CLEVELAND BROWNS (4-7)As someone who played on many terrible intramural basketball teams, I know how much it can drain you when you work so hard but just can’t win. So when the Jaguars beat the Texans last week I was happy for them. I honestly didn’t think they would win another game this year. Except now they might have cost themselves the No. 1 pick in next year’s draft. The Browns put up very little fight in their game with Pittsburgh. I’d expect to see a similar effort against the Jags. I mean, when Bran-don Weeden is your quarter-back, what do you have to play for besides a high draft pick? I must say, the Browns are looking smarter and smarter for dumping Trent Richardson for a first-round pick. Unfortunately that pick will most likely be some-where in the 20s and the Browns will almost certainly waste it on some scrub. That’s just what Cleveland teams do. They stink. It’s not my opinion. I’d like to see the Browns compete. It’s just fact. PICK VS. SPREAD: Jaguars (+7). STRAIGHT PICK: Browns.
TENNESEE TITANS (5-6) at INDIANAPOLIS COLTS (7-4) Can anyone explain how
the Colts have no been absolutely throttled by both the Rams and the Cardi-nals, but have taken down the 49ers and the Sea-hawks? I thought the latter two were supposed to be the class of the NFC West. Now that a savage beat-down wasn’t just a one-time fluke, it’s going to be very hard to ever trust the Colts again. Yes, the Rams and Cardinals aren’t terrible teams, but neither are the Titans. Are the Titans go-ing to open up a 40-0 lead this week? Ryan Fitzpatrick led another nice comeback for the Titans last week, so odds are high that he’s due for an absolute stinker. Buffalo fans know what I’m talking about. Andrew Luck clearly misses Reggie Wayne. If the Colts had their first-round pick, the late first round would be the perfect spot to take another big receiver for Luck, but alas, they have a mediocre running back instead. To be fair, Luck has been much better at home throughout his young career so expect him to bounce back from a subpar performance last week. PICK VS. SPREAD: Colts (-4). STRAIGHT PICK: Colts.
CHICAGO BEARS (6-5) at MINNESOTA VIKINGS (2-8)It doesn’t look like Jay Cutler is going to be back for this one, but honestly it probably doesn’t matter. McCown is playing pretty well, it’s the Bears defense that has been costing them games. The front seven is just too small to stop the run. Oh well, it’s not like they’re playing a sure-fire Hall of Famer and the best running back of this generation this week. What was that? They are you say? Well in that case the Bears will probably fall to .500, but stay alive in the NFC North until Aaron Rodgers comes back for the Packers. Christian Ponder hasn’t absolutely stunk up the joint the past few weeks, but Adrian Peterson is clearly the workhorse on this team. He needs three more yards for another 1,000-yard season. He’s not going to approach the near-record pace he set last year, but every time he carries the ball he gets closer and closer to Canton. I really thought LaDainian Tomlinson was the last great running back we’d see, but Peterson is proving me wrong and then some. PICK VS. SPREAD: Vikings (-1). STRAIGHT PICK: Vikings.
MIAMI DOLPHINS (5-6) at NEW YORK JETS (5-6)Here’s the AFC East equivalent of the Steelers-Ravens game on Thanks-giving. Both teams are 5-6 heading into the game and the winner will set itself up nicely for a stretch run at the sixth seed in the playoffs. The loser might as well start making plans for an early offseason. The Dolphins very nearly pulled off a big upset last week in Carolina. While the loss hurts, the play of the offensive line had to be very encouraging for Dolphins fans. If that unit can keep Ryan Tannehill on his feet more often through the season’s final five games, then the Fins have a realistic chance at the playoffs. The Jets are pretenders and we all know it. Geno Smith had a little bit of magic in his arm and legs early in the season, but now he’s proving to be
totally overmatched in the NFL. Two weeks in a row now he’s been embarrass-ing. There’s nothing nice to say about his games against Buffalo and Baltimore. Yet somehow the Dolphins are getting points in this one. PICK VS. SPREAD: Dol-phins (+2). STRIAGHT PICK: Dolphins.
ARIZONA CARDINALS (7-4) at PHILADELPHIA EAGLES (6-5)The Cardinals defense has been putting on a clinic for most of the season, but I think it took last week’s game against the beloved Andrew Luck for people outside Ari-zona to finally take notice. You can bet Chip Kelly noticed. Nick Foles has been simply amazing in relief of Michael Vick. With 16 touchdowns and 0 intercep-tions he is on pace to break Aaron Rodgers’ single-season passer rating record. LeSean McCoy may very well be the league’s MVP after Peyton has fallen back to Earth. The things Shady does in both the running game and the passing game are invaluable. While it’s surely the defense winning games for Arizona, Carson Palmer has been pretty darn good in his own right lately. Early in the season he was an interception machine, but he’s been throwing the ball out of bounds more when he’s in trouble and taking fewer chances. The result: a lot more chances on offense to put points on the board. I’ll tell you what, I wouldn’t want to play these guys right now. PICK VS. SPREAD: Cardinals (+3). STRAIGHT PICK: Cardinals.
TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS (3-8) at CAROLINA PANTHERS (8-3)Oddly (VERY oddly) this is a meeting of the two hottest teams in the NFL. After starting 0-8 the Bucs have suddenly won three in a row and the Panthers have ran off seven straight after a disappointing 1-3 start to the season. Both teams have good defenses. That was never an issue for either team. Charles Johnson missed last week’s game for the Panthers and it was obvious the team was missing its best pass rusher. But Comeback Cam was brilliant down the stretch in leading the offense to a last-minute score. I’ll say it again, Steve Smith is rejuve-nated by finally playing for a winner again and it back to his pass-catching, trash-talking self. I don’t care who you are, that’s good for the NFL when Smith is at his best. The Bucs have had some injury woes at run-ning back and I expect it to finally cost them in this one. PICK VS. SPREAD: Panthers (-8). STRAIGHT PICK: Panthers.
NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS (8-3) at HOUSTON TEXANS (2-9)This is a game that I thought would be one of the top-10 most important regular season games of 2013 when the schedule came out. As it turns out, these two teams are polar opposites in Week 13. The Patriots’ confidence could not be higher after erasing a 24-0 lead and knocking off the mighty Broncos. The Texans, meanwhile, lost to the lowest of the low — the Jaguars — last week. The loss prompted future Hall of Fame receiver Andre Johnson to admit that the Texans “suck.” As radio personality Jim Rome puts it, saying something sucks usually isn’t a good take, but
in this instance it fits. Tom Brady is spreading the ball around beautifully to his receivers and the Patriots clearly have put that no-call against the Panthers in the rearview mirror. This game should be a cakewalk against a Texans team playing for a high draft pick. PICK VS. SPREAD: Patriots (-10). STRAIGHT PICK: Patriots.
ATLANTA FALCONS (2-9) at BUFFALO BILLS (4-7)Week after week the Falcons make me look like an idiot. How can a team regress so badly from one year to the next? Between the Falcons and the Tex-ans I’m not sure who is the bigger disappointment. The Bills are coming off their bye week, but the Falcons haven’t played in 10 days thanks to last week’s Thursday contest. Both teams will be fresh, but the Bills actually still have a shot at the playoffs (albeit very, very slim). Matt Ryan and Co. are 0-5 on the road, but this game isn’t exactly a home game for the Bills either as it will be played in Toronto. It’s a short trip, but still not the added bonus a home game usually is. Hopefully the bye week allowed Buf-falo’s receiving corps to get healthy because they could have a field day against Atlanta’s secondary. PICK VS. SPREAD: Bills (-4). STRAIGHT PICK: Bills.
ST. LOUIS RAMS (5-6) at SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS (7-4)Any hope the Rams had a salvaging their season may have ended when run-ning back Zac Stacy went down with an injury this past week. With Stacy, the Rams have a legitimate shot of knocking off the 49ers in this game. Without Stacy, the Rams are going to get steamrolled in San Francisco. Colin Kaeper-nick is still not playing well, but the defense is really starting to gel and make things difficult for opposing quarterbacks. The 49ers might also be getting wide receiver Michael Crabtree back. That could provide a boost to an offense that could use one right about now. Usually when the line is double digits I’ll take the points all day, but there are a lot of questions on the St. Louis side right now. Of course, rookie sensation Tavon Austin is probably good for a couple 50-yard touchdowns at some point, so nothing is certain. PICK VS. SPREAD: 49ers (-10). STRAIGHT PICK: 49ers.
DENVER BRONCOS (9-2) at KANSAS CITY CHIEFS (9-2)After the Broncos beat KC in Denver two weeks ago, the Chiefs fans came out with a chorus of “wait until we get you in our house.” Well here it is, Chiefs. Except now you’re without your two All Pro lineback-ers Tamba Hali and Justin Houston. The weather in Kansas City usually isn’t as unpredictable as it was in New England last week, but Peyton Man-ning didn’t do much to quell the doubts people had about his ability to throw in adverse weather condi-tions. The Broncos dodged a bullet with running back Knowshon Moreno, too. He was on crutches after the Patriots game, but it appears as if he’ll be good to go in this one. Jamal Charles broke out in a big way last week and I’d
expect to see a healthy dose of him against Denver. The Chiefs are 5-1 at home for a reason. That crowd gets into it like no other. This should be another fun one. PICK VS. SPREAD: Chiefs (+4). STRAIGHT PICK: Broncos.
CINCINNATI BENGALS (7-4) at SAN DIEGO CHARGERS (5-6)The Bengals bye week came at a perfect time last week. The team was struggling and needed time to get healthy and clear their col-lective heads. Now they’ll travel across the country to take on the Chargers, who saved their season with a last-second upset of KC last week. Philip Rivers has put up some eye-popping numbers this year and has only gotten better with the emergence of rookie receiver Kennan Allen. The Bengals will probably win the AFC North regardless of what happens in this one, but the Chargers are right there with five or six other teams fighting for that sixth seed. Every game is important and they know it. PICK VS. SPREAD: Bengals (+1). STRAIGHT PICK: Bengals.
NEW YORK GIANTS (4-7) at WASHINGTON REDSKINS (3-8)I’m sure the NFL didn’t envision this totally meaning-less game when it scheduled these two NFC East rivals in primetime. The Redskins just got hammered in their Monday game with the 49ers and showed no signs of even belonging in the NFL. When will Coach Shannahan pull the plug on RG3’s season? He’s clearly not healthy. He’s clearly upset. He’s clearly hurting the team and possibly himself by being out there. That’s why you have backup quaterbacks Shanny. The Gi-ants have found the running game with Andre Brown and Brandon Jacobs, but that’s about all that’s worked for them this year. I expect some major changes in the offsea-son for the football Giants, but for now they’ll have to be content with kicking the Redskins while they’re down. On the plus side, Alfred Mor-ris is just 30 yards away from another 1,000-yard season. Not too shabby. PICK VS. SPREAD: Giants (-1). STRAIGHT PICK: Giants.
NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (9-2) at SEATTLE SEAHAWKS (10-1)Goo! What a game this is going to be. Both teams are nasty at home, so Seattle in-stantly has that edge, but the Saints are playing as well as anyone in the NFL and the Seahawks are dealing with a couple suspensions in the defensive secondary. Drew Brees usually has his way with defenses, but not every defense has the weapons that Pete Carroll’s unit can throw at him. Likewise, the ag-gressive Saints defense could give Russell Wilson looks that he’s not used to getting. Jimmy Graham could well be the difference in this one. With Seattle possibly miss-ing a couple key players on defense, a healthy Graham should find room to run. Of course, Beast Mode is always a huge threat and sits just 75 yards away from a 1,000-yard season. Keep your schedules open Monday night. You’ll want to watch this. PICK VS. SPREAD: Saints (+6). STRAIGHT PICK: Seahawks.

Anglers have enjoyed good steelhead action so far this fall, and the late fall run of steelhead is arriving right on time for the holiday week. Anglers have report-ed fresh runs of steelhead in the streams over past few days. Many streams are fi shing well for a mix of fresh silvery steel and more colorful earlier run fi sh. The small to medium
sized streams are in good shape today (Tuesday) with moderate to slightly lower fl ows. Chautauqua, Can-adaway, Silver, Walnut, South Branch Cattaraugus, Eighteenmile, Buffalo and Cayuga Creeks are all good prospects. Cattarau-gus Creek currently has near ideal conditions and a fl ow of about 415 cubic feet per second. Anglers should expect slush in the mornings, especially later this week when nighttime temps dip into the teens.
Fishing with egg sacs and egg pattern fl ies are good bets for steelhead. Light colored streamers and bug-ger patterns are good op-tions in clear water condi-tions while darker patterns in black or purple work better in stained conditions. For those new to steelhead fi shing, see the Steelhead Fishing in Lake Erie Tribu-taries page for information on steelhead fi shing equip-ment, locations and links to stream maps.

A Final Unit Management Plan (UMP) for 14 state forests located in Chautau-qua County is complete, New York State Depart-ment of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Com-missioner Joe Martens an-nounced today. New horse and bike trails are among the new recreation oppor-tunities proposed in the UMP, as well as numerous maintenance projects to improve forest access.
"The fi nalized plan incor-
porates comments received during the public review process and will guide fu-ture management of these state lands to provide for healthy, sustainable and biologically diverse forest ecosystems, in addition to expanding multi-use recreational opportunities," Commissioner Martens said. "One of our main priorities is to strengthen connections between com-munities and state lands. We encourage local resi-dents and visitors to enjoy the outdoors and this plan offers a range of activities they can enjoy on beautiful forest lands in the region."
Governor Andrew Cuomo is committed to expanding recreation opportunities throughout the state, which will attract more visitors and boost regional busi-nesses that benefi t from people utilizing outdoor recreation facilities.
The plan proposes several projects to expand public access and outdoor rec-reation opportunities as well as ensure sustainable silvicultural (forest manage-ment) practices, including:
• Developing approxi-mately 21 miles of sustain-able horse trails;
• Developing approxi-
mately 22 miles of sustain-able mountain bike trails;
• Protecting wetlands, riparian areas, late succes-sional stage forest areas, and specifi c wildlife habitats;
• Conducting over 3,600 acres of timber harvests during the 10-year term of the plan, including ap-proximately 400 acres of regeneration harvests to create early successional habitat;
• Maintaining over 60 miles of existing recreation-al trails,
• Rehabilitating most of the roads on the unit, and
• Removing or lowering
three deteriorating dams to reduce the threat of dam-age to roads downstream.
The state forests addressed in this UMP consist of ap-proximately 17,199 acres of forest land within in the towns of Chautauqua, Sher-man, Clymer, Harmony, North Harmony, Busti, Stockton, Charlotte, Cherry Creek, Gerry and Ellington - representing about 6.4 per-cent of the total land area within these townships.
The 14 state forest prop-erties addressed in this plan are included under 12 forest names: Boutwell Hill State Forest, North Harmony State Forest,
Mount Pleasant State For-est, Panama State Forest, Chautauqua Gorge State Forest, Stockton State Forest, Brokenstraw State Forest, Harris Hill State Forest, Hatch Creek State Forest, Whalen Memorial State Forest, Hill Higher State Forest and Wellman State Forest.
More information on the Chautauqua Unit Manage-ment Plan, including a full copy of the plan and associ-ated maps are available on DEC's website. Copies are also available in electronic format on compact disc and may be requested by calling DEC at (716) 363-2052.

Champions of the Galaxy isn’t just a game, but more like an alternate universe. The fi rst time the game was released it was set in 2086. The most recent edition was set in year 2129 with each expansion in between marking one year. The characters age and retire. New wrestlers burst onto the scene and see their stats increase from year-to-year as they make their bid at the championship as alliances and rivalries continuously form and dissolve. The running storyline is one of the biggest draws of the game and what keeps fans coming back for more.
Another part of the game that appeals to fans it the artwork. The cards are bigger than your typical collectible card game and the drawings are simply astounding.
“I currently have three regular artists,” Filsinger said. “Each one has a specialty. Gerald Banks is my Champions of the Galaxy artist. He was a comic book artist. He drew for Green Lantern and other things for DC Comics. He’s well-suited for drawing my charac-ters for Champions. Steve Stanley does the drawings for Legends. He’s fantastic. He’s done amazing draw-ings for Andre The Giant, Macho Man Randy Sav-age, I could go on and on.
“The other artist I want to mention is Werner Meeks,” Filsinger contin-ued. “He was a game fan fi rst and his art ability has just exploded over time. People just love his art. He’s become hugely popu-lar in his own right.”
Of course, even with all the success Filsinger has obtained, there are still
hurdles to putting out a quality product that fans will enjoy.
“I’d say one of the major hurdles is just the percep-tion of tabletop cards and dice games,” he ex-plained. “In other words, young people have just been raised with every-thing being on computer screens. What I’m trying to do is offer those people an alternative. How much of that stuff can you do before you get sick of it? Luckily there is still a niche of people who still want that alternative.”
Besides putting out annual (sometimes more frequent-ly) editions of each of his games, Filsinger’s new-est project is turning his universe into a screenplay in an attempt to bring his beloved characters to the big screen.
Filsinger has entrusted scriptwriter Mark Litton with the task of writing the screenplay, which he expects to be completed in January. Litton has experi-ence writing for “Power Rangers” and “TRON: Uprising” among other series.
“I spent a lot of time in LA and Hollywood,” Filsinger said. “What they’re often looking for is content — stuff that they can do a TV show, movie or cartoon show that isn’t just a one-time shot. My Champions of the Galaxy is 25 years-plus with tons of storylines and lots of characters.”
Filsinger reached a career milestone back in 2008 when he was approached by Marvel Comics creator Stan Lee. The two minds worked together on Lee’s book of political humor, “Election Daze.” The two are still in contact with
one another and Lee is quoted as saying, “Cham-pions of the Galaxy is a really cool game!” How’s that for high praise?
Filsinger is also the author of his own book, “The Dark Menace of the Uni-verse” which was released in 2005. According to fi ls-ingergames.com, the book “is a memoir on creativity and tells the inside story of creating Champions of the Galaxy, Legends of Wrestling Card Game and other creative projects.”
Perhaps part of the reason Filsinger has been able to obtain so much success with his gaming system is the confi dence he had even back in high school when he fi rst came up with the idea.
“I have quite an active imagination,” he admit-ted. “People say ‘this is probably quite surprising to you,’ but it isn’t. Not that I expected to make it big, but I was confi dent in what I was creating. If something comes from the heart and you have honest passion for it, you feel good about it.”
Filsinger resides in Jame-stown with his wife and four children. He has a Master’s Degree in Social/Personality Psychology from Northern Illinois University and is a pro-fessor of psychology at Jamestown Community College.
Filsinger Games and Champions of the Galaxy both have their own Face-book pages and Filsinger Games can also be followed on Twitter for the latest news and promotions.
All of the games are avail-able for online play and purchase at fi lsingergames.com.

The Jamestown Jammers of the New York-Penn league are excited to announce the release of the 2014 sched-ule. Following a postseason appearance in 2013, the 2014 season marks the 21st for the Jammers in Jame-stown, and their second as an affi liate for the Pitts-burgh Pirates.
With an earlier start to the season, the Jammers will open on Friday June 13th against the Mahoning Val-ley Scrappers. The Lowell Spinners, affi liate of the World Series Champion Boston Red Sox, will make an appearance at historic Diethrick Park halfway through the year. Other highlights throughout the 2014 season will include $1 nights, fi reworks, six Friday games, and six Saturday games. Also to note, all Sunday games at Diethrick Park will start at 4:05 pm.
The 2014 season hopes to build on the momentum gained from the fi rst season as a Pittsburgh Pirates af-fi liate. General Manager Matthew Drayer noted, "with the Pirates and the

Upper Niagara RiverMusky anglers still have a few more days left before the season closes after November 30th. Cur-rently, upper river waters are a chalky green color. But winds are building and expected to last a couple days. The Buffalo Harbor looks like the best bet for the tail end of the season. Musky are gener-ally caught in the outer Buffalo Harbor by trolling large stickbaits. Casting spoons or drifting egg sacs from Broderick Park/Squaw Island usually pro-duces some rainbow trout catches at this time of year.
Chautauqua LakeThe open-lake fi shing season is all but over, and most anglers have pulled their boats for the season. However, anglers still have until Saturday to chase muskellunge. Boaters can target musky near weed edges in 8-16 feet of water. Productive methods in-clude casting large bucktail spinners or stickbaits or trolling on the outside of the weed edge with large jointed stickbaits.
Surplus Broodstock Trout StockingDEC Randolph Fish Hatchery completed their annual fall stocking of
broodstock trout in Al-legany and Cattaraugus Counties. All breeder trout stocked were over 2 years old and were stocked in waters where trout fi shing is permitted year-round. The following waters were stocked; Birch Run Pond 50 14-inch brook trout; Allen Lake 100 14-inch brook trout and 100 20-inch brook trout; New Albion Lake 150 14-inch brook trout; Genesee River (Wellsville to PA border) 300 14-inch brown trout, 50 20-inch brown trout and 200 14-inch rainbow trout; Red House Lake 140 20-inch brown trout; Quaker Lake 150 30-inch rainbow trout, 250 20-inch rainbow trout and 75 24-inch brown trout; Case Lake 100 14-inch brook trout, 100 20-inch brook trout and 50 20-inch brown trout, 45 30-inch rainbow trout and 90 14-inch rainbow trout.

FISHING HOTLINE CONTINUED FROM PG 3
CHAUTAUQUA STARFRIDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 2013 5
No, these three organiza-tions all use free agency to fi ll minor holes on their rosters. The majority of their players come from the draft. Even if it’s not a position of need the best teams in the NFL will take the best player available to them because depth is key. Remember when the Packers drafted Aaron Rodgers when Brett Favre was still a great quarterback? Believe it or not that move was not universally loved at the time like it is now.
So how is the Bills roster built? Yes, they made a splash by signing Mario Wil-liams before the 2012 season, but that was an anomaly if ever there was one. Let’s take a look at the Bills starters on offense and defense.
OFFENSEQuarterback: E.J. Manu-el, drafted by Buffalo in the 1st round, 2013. An obvious name, but a promising sign. How many teams have won Super Bowls recently with quarterbacks they signed as free agents? The Saints with Drew Brees. That’s pretty much it.
Running back: C.J. Spiller, drafted by Buffalo in the 1st round, 2010. Fred Jackson, signed by Buffalo in 2006 after playing in the United Indoor Football League and NFL Europe. These are without question the best two skill position players on Buffalo’s roster. Spiller was a high draft pick, but Jackson’s NFL hopes looked non-existent since playing at DIII Coe College. He’s since be a stalwart in the offense for the past six or seven years.
Wide receiver: Stevie Johnson, drafted by Buffalo in the 7th round, 2008. Robert Woods, drafted by Buffalo in
the 2nd round, 2013. T.J. Gra-ham, drafted by Buffalo in the 3rd round, 2012. Marquise Goodwin, drafted by Buf-falo in the 3rd round, 2013. Those are the team’s top four receivers and all drafted by the team. They might not be an elite group, but the young guys are getting better before our eyes this season.
Offensive line: Cordy Glenn, drafted by Buffalo in the 2nd round, 2012. Doug Legursky, signed as a free agent in June 2013. Eric Wood, drafted by Buf-falo in the 1st round, 2009. Kraig Urbik, claimed off waivers in Sept. 2010. Erik Pears, signed as free agent in Dec. 2010. The two most important positions on the line, left tackle and center, are both drafted by Buf-falo. The entire right side of the line was unwanted by multiple teams before becoming regular starters for the past four years in Buffalo. Legursky is the only recent free agent and he’s the left guard. Those are the types of free agent signings top teams make.
Again, that’s not an elite offense by any means, but it’s solid. The receivers have been banged up this year and obviously Manuel missed time with the knee injury, too. But when your only free agent signing from the past three years on your entire starting offense is a left guard, you’re building a team the right way.
DEFENSEDefensive line: Alan Branch, signed as free agent in Apr. 2013. Kyle Wil-liams, drafted by Buffalo in the 5th round, 2006. Marcell Dareus, drafted by Buffalo in the fi rst round, 2011. Mario Williams,
signed as free agent in 2012. Kyle Williams has been one of the most underrated play-ers in the NFL for his whole career. The Branch sign-ing was made because the team let go Mark Anderson, who they realized got too much money as a free agent the year before. More was expected from Dareus as a high draft pick, but he’s hardly a bust. Super Mario has fi nally been living up to his contract this season with constant pressure on opposing quarterbacks. If you’re going to sign a big free agent he better work out and so far Williams has.
Linebackers: Manny Lawson, signed as free agent in March 2013. Kiko Alonso, drafted by Buffalo in the 2nd round, 2013. Nigel Bradham, drafted by Buffalo in the 4th round, 2011). Arthur Moats, drafted by Buffalo in the 6th round, 2010). Linebackers seems like a position where guys switch teams a lot, but Buffalo only has one free agent on the team. Lawson was drafted by San Francisco in 2006 before playing two years in Cincinnati. I get the sense that he’s a short-term fi x and Buffalo will draft his replacement in this year’s draft. Khalil Mack, anyone?
Cornerbacks: Leodis McKelvin, drafted by Buf-falo in the 1st round, 2008. Stephon Gilmore, drafted by Buffalo in the 1st round, 2012. Ron Brooks, drafted by Buffalo in the 4th round in 2012. Cornerback might be the toughest position in the league to play. You can’t hit receivers. You can’t touch receivers. You can’t even look at receivers. Yet the Bills have managed to put together a pretty decent defensive back-fi eld without the use of free
agency. Well played Buffalo.
Safety: Aaron Williams, drafted by Buffalo in the 2nd round, 2011. Jairus Byrd, drafted by Buffalo in the 2nd round, 2009. Da’Norris Searcy, drafted by Buffalo in the 4th round, 2011. Is it possible Byrd is STILL riding the coattails of his fantastic rookie campaign? He was an interception machine back in 2009, but I can’t really think of too many plays where he’s been a game-breaker lately. The Bills would be foolish to pay him like a top safety. Let him walk and draft a new guy. That’s how top teams do it. Williams is much better at safety than cornerback where he was drafted. Searcy is always around the ball. He’s made a couple of plays this season that have left me speech-less. He’s a very good player. All three drafted by Buffalo. Again, well done.
By my count that’s 20 of the 27 players listed were either drafted by the Bills or are Fred Jackson, whose story is so unique I fi gure he should still count. It’s not like an NFL team gave him a shot before the Bills.
I’d be curious to see what other team’s percentages are, but I would guess that Buffalo ranks in the top third of NFL teams in terms of draft-and-develop. One or two more successful drafts like this past one and the Bills will be set up for a period of success, not just the one run that so many teams make before falling back into obscurity.

COMMENTARY CONTINUED FROM PG 1
By Frederic J. FrommerAssociated Press
Ten former National Hockey League players, including All-Star forward Gary Lee-man, claimed in a class-action lawsuit that the league hasn't done enough to protect players from concussions.
The lawsuit seeks damages and court-approved, NHL-sponsored medical monitor-ing for the players' brain trauma and/or injuries, which they blame on their NHL careers. It was fi led in federal court in Washington on behalf of players who retired on or before Febru-ary 14 of this year and have suffered such injuries.
The suit comes just three months after the National Football League agreed to pay $765 million to settle lawsuits from thousands of former players who devel-oped dementia or other concussion-related health problems - and in an era when more attention is being paid to the damages of head injuries sustained in sports.
Among other things, the suit claims that:
- The NHL knew or should have known about scien-tifi c evidence that players who sustain repeated head injuries are at greater risk for illnesses and disabilities both during their hockey careers and later in life.
- Even after the NHL cre-ated a concussion program to study brain injuries affect-ing NHL players in 1997, the league took no action to reduce the number and severity of concussions dur-ing a study period from 1997 to 2004. "Plaintiffs relied on the NHL's silence to their detriment," the suit says.
- The league didn't do any-thing to protect players from unnecessary harm until 2010, when it made it a penalty to target a player's head.
"The NHL's active and pur-poseful concealment of the severe risks of brain injuries exposed players to unnec-essary dangers they could have avoided had the NHL provided them with truth-ful and accurate informa-
tion and taken appropriate action to prevent needless harm," the lawsuit says.
"We are aware of the class-action lawsuit fi led today in the United States Dis-trict Court for the District of Columbia on behalf of a group of former NHL players. While the subject matter is very serious, we are completely satisfi ed with the responsible manner in which the league and the players' association have managed player safety over time, in-cluding with respect to head injuries and concussions," said Bill Daly, the league’s Deputy Commissioner, issued a statement Monday. "We intend to defend the case vig-orously and have no further comment at this time."
Leeman, who played for the Toronto Maple Leafs, Calgary Flames, Montreal Canadians, Vancouver Ca-nucks and St. Louis Blues from 1983-1996, suffered multiple concussions and sub-concussive impacts during his career, according to the law-suit. Since his retirement, he's
suffered from post-traumatic head syndrome, headaches, memory loss and dizziness, the lawsuit says.
In addition to Leeman, the other ex-players on the law-suit are: Bradley Aitken (Pitts-burgh Penguins, Edmonton Oilers); Darren Banks (Boston Bruins); Curt Bennett (Blues, New York Rangers and Atlanta Flames); Richard Dunn (Buffalo Sabres and Calgary Flames); Warren Holmes, (Los Angeles Kings); Robert Manno, (Canucks, Maple Leafs and Detroit Red Wings); Blair James Stewart (Red Wings, Wash-ington Capitals and Quebec Nordiques); Morris Titanic, (Sabres); and Rick Vaive (Ca-nucks, Maple Leafs, Sabres, and Chicago Blackhawks).
Earlier this year, NHL Commissioner Gary Bet-tman said, "We have, on our own, a long history, go-ing back to 1997, of taking concussions very seriously. We spend a lot of time, money and effort working with the players' associa-tion on player safety."

• If you have been injured in an auto accident, New York State Law requires the insurance carrier for the vehicle you were in to cover your related medical expenses and any lost wages (Insurance Law Section 5103).
• Recently, many insurance carriers are attempting to avoid this legal duty by paying biased doctors, often from outside the area, to support them in cutting off these impor-tant benefits.
CAMPBELL & SHELTON LLP has taken the following steps to protect our clients:
• We will send an investigator to any suspicious exams and videotape the physician.
• We will sue any insurance carrier who denies our clients their benefits without a validbasis (we recently obtained a judgment against Allstate for a client’s unpaid benefits,costs and interest).
For these and many other reasons, if you are injured in an automobile accident youneed experienced and capable legal representation as soon as possible.
