Art is something that can be deeply rewarding, and therapeutic, or just plain fun for anyone who likes to splash in paint.
This is something that the found-er of the ‘Art Life Conference,’ Kristen McNitt, thoroughly un-derstands and promotes. McNitt, an art instructor and indepen-dent artist from Jamestown, has been working with artists who have been diagnosed with dis-abilities for about 12 years.

Applying to college can be a stressful experience. There are many things to do and plenty of information to review, and the process can be quite overwhelm-ing. In an effort to help future students get accepted into school, here are some tips in the form of a “Top 10 List” to consider using to help guide you along the complicated journey of applying to college.
10) When choosing colleges to apply to, do your research
Pick a wide variety of schools to apply to and then carefully analyze your chances at get-ting accepted by looking at what mean test scores and grade point averages are needed. From there, choose a couple schools that are likely a stretch, a few more “tar-get” schools that would realisti-cally accept you, and then choose a few “safety” schools that you can fall back on and apply to.

On-campus interviews are normally conducted directly by an admis-sions offi cer and ultimately holds more weight than an off-campus interview, which can be to your benefi t if you present a dynamic and engaging personality.
8) Make a resume and con-tinuously update it
This is an easy way to keep track of all your accomplishments and provide an easy way to access them so you don’t forget them whenever it comes time to fi ll out your college applications.
7) Choose a specifi c focus
This doesn’t necessarily mean choosing a major, especially since research shows many college students change their major fi eld of study by the end of their fresh-man year. But choosing a specifi c focus helps you to fi gure out what you are interested in and helps in trying to fi nd what type of career you might want to pursue once you graduate.

2 CHAUTAUQUA STARFRIDAY, OCTOBER 18, 2013
I received a quote in my email this morning from a friend of mine. I feel it to be worthy of pondering.
“I ... place economy among the fi rst and most important of repub-lican virtues, and public debt as the greatest of the dangers to be feared. ... Taxation follows that, and in its turn wretchedness and oppression.”
--Thomas Jefferson, Letter to William Plumer, 1816
While I may not whole-heartedly agree with every one of Thomas Jefferson’s personal or business prac-tices, there is much ironic wisdom in this statement.
I am still baffl ed to know that for nearly one hundred years, the United States operated completely free from income tax. Of course the difference was made up through various tariffs, and the land and population size was notably smaller, but to know that my great-grandfa-ther lived at a time before his paycheck was parasitically drained and used as rocket fuel for government corrup-tion is incredible to me.
Our economy, as of late, has been under fi re around the world. China is calling for an un-Americanized world economy, and accuses us for
single handedly driving the global market into a reces-sion.
When I woke up today, I had a few notifi cations on my phone, which is subscribed to various news sources; both local and national. The message read, “House passes Senate budget plan; govern-ment to re-open.” My heart sank. Not because I wanted men and women out of work; on the contrary my desire is for every American to earn a living working hard for their dreams. My heart sank because I knew that it meant that the House of Represen-tatives caved, once again, into increasing pressure from the other side of the isle.
I am not a democrat or republican, even if I am registered as a Republican. I am fi rst and foremost a Christian. I will vote for he or she who upholds the val-ues that I cherish above all else; sanctity of life, sanctity of marriage and a strong economy for hard working men and women. I will not vote for the man who gives hand outs, the woman who kills babies or the suit and tie that promise equality at the cost of freedom.
That said, this news broke my heart because it was a telltale sign of the conditions of things. Ultimately, my beliefs generally line up with the Republican party; and more often than not with the tea party (although I refuse to believe that such a degree of condemnation and hate will bring about positive change). Scriptures tell us that ‘a kingdom divided against itself cannot stand,’ and that seems to be holding true for our elected offi cials.
I know my fair share of history. I can’t recite every president by name, or know the political parties and climate from our country’s
inception to present, but I do know it has to get better. I cannot believe that this great country, which was built on the backs of those who sought to better themselves, can continue down the path it’s on.
Recently, I read an article about a team of middle school cafeteria workers who moonlighted as youth pas-tors. They’d been suspended from their jobs for proselytiz-ing on the job. Whether or not they actually did, I don’t know. Both sides claim their own truth. But one quote I read from a board member at the school shook me to the core.
“We can’t ignore this. There are just too many serious is-sues to consider here,” board president Mike Spence told KomoNews.com. “That’s pretty dangerous. It’s a pretty slippery slope I guess I would say.”
When did sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ, also classifi ed as ‘good news,’ become a pretty slippery slope? When did it become dangerous? It became dangerous when we elected men and women who are opposed to it.
We must educate ourselves on whom we vote for, and why we vote for them. We must focus to ensure that their desires line up with the best for our realities, not for our dreams. Immigrants of old made their living by breaking their backs to get ahead. Today, we break our legs to stay behind. The more we expect the govern-ment to take care of us, the more they think they can. Without change, their power will grow until we cannot change it, and we can stand by and watch history repeat itself, “absolute power will corrupt, absolutely.”

Chautauqua County Leg-islator Paul “PJ” Wendel is seeking re-election in the newly created District 10. District 10 represents the Village of Lakewood, por-tions of the Town of Busti, and the Southwest corner of the City of Jamestown.
“District 10 is a diverse district and one of the larg-est in the county,” Wen-del stated. “I am looking forward to representing all of my constituents with the same dedication and pas-sion that I have for the past two years.”
Wendel is currently the Vice-Chairman of the Pub-lic Safety Committee and Member of the Audit and Control Committee. “I have enjoyed the past two years serving on the Public Safety and Audit and Con-trol Committees. Having spent the last twenty-four years in the county fi re service I bring an un-derstanding of what our county needs as we move forward. Our radio project is working to enhance the capabilities of our county dispatch services. I enjoy working fi rst-hand with our law enforcement, fi re and EMS personnel. Each entity provides an invalu-able service to the residents of Chautauqua County.” As a member of the Audit and Control Committee Wendel has focused on re-ducing waste and ensuring
that taxpayers interests are being protected.
Another important focus for Wendel is Chautauqua Lake. “I have been part of a bi-partisan effort to cre-ate a new vision for main-taining Chautauqua Lake. The Lake is not only an important natural resource it is also an economic engine for the county. I’m committed to protecting the lake for everyone to enjoy. ”
Wendel also noted the importance of the NRG repowering project in Dunkirk. NRG is one of the largest contributors to the county’s tax base. Every resident of Chau-tauqua County, business owner and private citizen will feel the effect if the Public Service Commission does not repower NRG. “This is not Republican versus Democrat issue or a South County versus North County issue. This is Chau-tauqua County issue. We all need to work together to do whatever it takes to repower NRG,” Wendel said.
PJ Wendel has lived in Lakewood for twenty-fi ve years and has been a county resident for over thirty-six years. PJ is mar-ried to Jennifer and they have two children, Sydney and Bohdan. He is a 1988 graduate of Southwestern Central School and a 1993 Graduate of SUNY Brock-port. While at Brockport, PJ was a 1992 Division III Wrestling All-American and National Champion. He received a Masters of Education in Educational Leadership, with a concen-tration in Principal Cer-tifi cation, and a Masters Degree in Sports Stud-ies with an emphasis in Exercise Science. He has coached both wrestling and football for nineteen years and continues to serve in leadership roles throughout Section Six Wrestling.
In addition to his work in the Legislature, PJ has served for twenty-four years as a member of the Lakewood Volunteer Fire Company, during which time he served as an As-sistant Chief, Lieutenant, President and Vice-Presi-dent of the Fire Company and has been a New York State EMT for eighteen years. He also is a Eucha-ristic Minister and Reli-gious Education Teacher at Sacred Heart Catholic Church. Lastly, PJ success-fully served the Village of Lakewood as a Trustee for fi ve years and of those two years as Deputy Mayor.

With an especially plentiful crop this year, families and individuals in New York are celebrating autumn by enjoying the crisp bite of the state fruit – the apple.
“Last year’s fruit crops, including apples, were dev-astated by a combination of unseasonably warm spring weather that was followed by freezing temperatures,” said Senator Catharine Young (R, I, C—Olean), chair of the Legislative Commission on Rural Re-sources. “After facing such a diffi cult year in 2012, this
year’s harvest demonstrates the resilience of our apple growers throughout the state.”
New York State is the second largest producer of apples in the United States, with an average of 25 million bushels of apples produced annu-ally. According to the New York State Department of Agriculture & Markets, the economic impact of grow-ing and selling apples is quite signifi cant, with $233 million of apples produced in the state in 2010.
The wide range of apple varieties produced in the state mean that consumers
can fi nd exactly the type of apple they are looking for, from bright red to golden yellow, with a diversity of fl avors and textures avail-able that make it easy to fi nd a variety to enjoy.
There are many oppor-tunities to support New York’s farms and orchards throughout the fall. The activities and events tak-ing place across the state extend beyond choosing which of the many types of apples to bite into. There are festivals to attend, opportunities to pick your own apples, corn mazes to navigate, hay rides, pump-kin picking, as well as the occasion to enjoy spiced
apple cider, warm cider donuts and many other delicious locally-made products.
“If you have not taken the opportunity to visit a local orchard or farm, I encourage you to join me in supporting New York State’s vibrant agricultural heritage by making it a part of your fall tradition,” said Senator Young.

Edgewood Communities on the Lutheran Campus in Jamestown is hosting another seminar in its Best of Times Series. Janell Sluga, MPA, coordinator for the Senior Life Matters Program and Amie Libby, MS, Service Coordinator for Lutheran Senior Hous-ing are Certifi ed Geriatric Care Managers. They will present a seminar on “Navigating Medicare On-Line.” It will be held Wednesday, Oct. 23, 6:30 p.m. in Christ Chapel located on the Lutheran Campus. The program is free. Reservations are ap-preciated by calling Patty Eckwahl at 720-9122.
Both presenters are trained HIICAP (Health Insurance Information, Counseling & Assistance Program) coun-selors by the Offi ce for the Aging. “There is a wealth of information at our fi n-gertips regarding Medi-care and all the insurance
options available to people age 65 and older,” said Ms. Libby. The presenters will walk people through the pages of the Medicare.gov website. The Lutheran Chapel has WIFI, so at-tendees may bring their laptops, log on and follow along with the speakers.
“We receive questions all the time asking about on-line resources because more people are web savvy and family members are interested in knowing what is available for their loved ones,” adds Ms. Sluga. “The site can be very helpful, once people know where to fi nd the informa-tion they need. We can help.”
The seminar will be in-teractive and there will be time for questions. “Based on feedback we received at last year’s seminar that highlighted several web sites, we will focus just on the Medicare.gov site,” Libby said.
The Best of Times Semi-nar Series is sponsored by
Edgewood Communities at Lutheran, the ‘go to resource’ for senior living. The series provides infor-mation and support to help
people plan well so they can age well. Edgewood Communities is located on the Lutheran Campus off Falconer Street in Jame-

the weekly wordThe Humility of Christ
The defi nition of promotion and increase in today’s world seems to include mandatory self-exaltation and cut throat tactics. Many people do not feel they can be used in a signifi cant way unless it includes promoting oneself. But does that kind of promotion have eternal impact? Of course it does not. Promotion that does not hap-pen at the hands of Godly humil-ity is not promotion at all.
Jesus Christ was sent from the Throne of God to secure salva-tion for a depraved human race. To accomplish this unparalleled feat, He would have to “take upon Himself fl esh and blood” and “taste death for every man.” (Hebrews 2:9,14) That was the greatest assignment ever put upon
a person living within a human body. It would be easy to imagine that Christ could have and should have instantly been put on the greatest throne Earth could offer. But is that what happened?
Philippians 2:5-7 says, “Let this mind be in you that was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God thought it not rob-bery to be equal with God, but MADE HIMSELF OF NO REPUTATION and took upon Himself the form of a servant and was made in the likeness of men.” This is the ultimate example of humility. The King of the uni-verse arrived upon the planet that He designed and sought to excel in the hidden things of life. The One who engineered every element and every law of physics was now off His throne and in a
regular household. The Archi-tect of the cosmos and the Mas-termind of the oceans was now going to spend the fi rst 30 years of His life submitting to imperfect parents and civil authorities. The One who built the foundations of Heaven was now going to work in his dad’s carpentry business. The builder of forests was now build-ing tables. The Great Physician, who attached every tendon and designed every neurological cell in the human body, is now carving spindles for wooden chairs. For 30 years the Miracle Man was living in excellence with zero recogni-tion before He ever performed one miracle. That is worth noting.
Why didn’t Jesus arrive on the scene with great pomp and pro-claim Himself King instantly? This is the reason: God has
ordained all human fl esh to be eternally promoted if and only if humility is present. Jesus had to submit to this plan as well. And if Christ could only be exalted after humility, why do we think we would be exempt?
Philippians 2:3 says, “Let nothing be done through strife and vain-glory but in lowliness of mind…” Vainglory is when you try to promote yourself by demanding recognition and visibility. Vainglo-ry is selfi sh ambition that believes your talents are of greater worth than your humble character. Low-liness of mind is when you delight in the excellent completion of a task regardless of the visibility that task brings to you. The benefi t from selfi sh ambition will die with your body, but humble excellence in all things lasts for eternity.
Dear Pastor, does God care about material things? (cont.)
We are continuing on the thought, “Is it God’s will for us to be ma-terially blessed?” Last week we saw that when we put God fi rst in our lives, it is God’s will to take care of our needs (Matthew 6:33). Today, I’m going to say something that may astonish you. The Bible says that it is God’s will for His people to be rich. Now, before you reject what I’m saying, let me fi rst explain the Bible’s defi nition of rich. The Bible defi nes this as “having a full supply.” It denotes
a state of having more than you need to supply your own provi-sion. 2 Corinthians 8:9 tells us: “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He be-came poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.” This scripture tells us plainly that Jesus became poor so that we might be amply supplied.
Why should we have more than we need? Throughout the Bible, God encourages His people to give to His work and be generous to others. We can be assured that
God not only wants us to be taken care of, but He wants us to be blessed with extra so we can help others! Let’s look at 2 Corinthians 9:8. My favorite translation states that: “God is able to bless you with all ample means, so that you may always have quite enough for any emergency of your own and ample besides for any kind act to others.” This verse states that it’s God’s desire to not only meet our needs, but to also give us extra to bless others. The Bible also says that “It is better to give than to receive” (Acts 20:35). How can
you help others if you have noth-ing to give?
You may be asking yourself this question, “How can we fulfi ll God’s will in these areas if we do not have any means to do so?” God knows that for us to give in abundance, He must supply us with abundance. Deuteronomy 8:18 declares that: “But you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who is giving you power to make wealth.” Just as Jesus gives us grace to be saved, He also gives us grace to prosper so we can be a blessing to others!

Jamestown resident Cathy Pitts has been involved with the American Cancer Society for years. She is a middle school teacher at Washington Middle School, a loving grand-mother, and last year was diagnosed with breast cancer.
For Pitts, who has worked behind the scenes on many Relay for Life fundraisers, the rubber was about to hit the road. Now, the organi-zation that she so fervently served was going to bat for her. Attitude, rest and great care made a huge role throughout her ordeal, and today Pitts is living healthy and whole; cancer free.
Star: Tell me about when you were diagnosed. What was it like for you?
Pitts: Here’s the odd thing. I’m very religious about my monthly self-ex-ams, and I didn’t feel any-thing. I went for my annual mammogram, and there it was. Obviously, it was very scary. It’s not the thing you want to hear. They caught it early enough that they thought I could have a
lumpectomy and be done with it, but by March (it was fi rst spotted in Janu-ary 2012) it had spread into my lymph system. I was 50 years old.
Star: What kind of support did you have?
Pitts: It was amazing the way the Relay [for life] people came together. They listened to me, and let me know where I could get support from. Everything was so positive. All in all, it was a very positive experi-ence. A lot of people don’t say that, but I made friends all over Western New York. It helped me spiritually, as well. It helped me to almost see things through a child’s eyes, to be appreciative of everything.
Star: What advice do you have for men or women going through it?
Pitts: Stay positive. Have good support groups, even if it’s just friends and fam-ily. Just be positive and listen to your body. If you need rest, then rest. Hon-estly, I just didn’t really al-low myself to listen to other people’s horror stories. Every person dealing with cancer and chemo is dif-ferent. I thought everyone
got the same treatment, and that’s not true. Every-thing is tailor made to the patient.
Star: Do you think your positive attitude played a role in your recovery?
Pitts: I didn’t think so at the time, but my oncolo-gist and all my doctors said they looked forward to me coming in because I had such a positive attitude. Other patients would say I was an inspiration. Yes, I’d say the positive attitude played a big, big role.
Star: What was the change like for you physically?
Pitts: Well, with the chemo I did lose my hair. But, the morning I woke up and it started falling out, I just started chuckling. The oncologist predicted what day it would start falling out. I just buzzed it right off, and wore scarves- more for protections. What I didn’t realize was that you lose all your hair; eyelash-es, eyebrows. And I didn’t have to shave my legs! Plus, I saved on makeup and mascara. There was always something positive to look at. I’m keeping the short haircut now. My nails fell off, but grew back stronger.
I didn’t realize that hap-pened either.
Star: Now that you’re in remis-sion, what happens next?
Pitts: I have checkups every four months right now and I’ll get a mammo-gram every six months. As time progresses, the time between appointments will lengthen. They keep very good track of you.
Star: What piece of wisdom would you want to leave with our readers?
Pitts: It’s important that women know the resources that are out there. I know because I’ve been involved, but a lot of people don’t realize the services that are available for free. Learn-ing to do your hair and makeup so you can still feel normal and pretty. For some women, it’s very traumatic to lose their hair. I thank God for the research that’s happened because even ten years ago my treatment would have been much different, and much worse. For women approaching middle age, make sure you’re doing your monthly self-exams. Listen to your body. If you think something is wrong and you need to see a doc-
tor then go. Just listen.
Pitts kept working through-out her ordeal, as much as her body would allow her to, and still keeps in touch with the students she had at the time. Today, she con-tinues to teach and educate both in and out of the class-
room, using her story to help and encourage others who are facing cancer. Pitts will be walking on Sunday, Oct. 20 in the Making Strides walk at Jamestown Community College, along with hundreds of other survivors.

Lutheran has announced W. Clark Poppleton, as the newly elected Chairman of the Board of Directors. Poppleton was appointed to the position, which carries a two-year term, on Sept. 25, during the quarterly Board meeting. He previ-ously served a two-year term as Chair of the Policy Review Committee.
Trustees play a very impor-tant role in the not-for-prof-it arena. They are dedicat-ed, trusted colleagues who bring great value by their leadership and support. “We’ve had extraordinary leadership over the years, most recently with Dean Weaver as our Chair,” said Tom Holt, Lutheran CEO and President. “We’re anticipating the same high level of participation and excellence with Clark at the helm. With his vast experi-ence, he understands how susceptible a not-for-profi t is to the changes in regula-tions and funding and the importance of sustaining what we have developed and what it means to our community.”
Poppleton earned a Master of Science degree from the University of Arizona in Rehabilitation Counseling after serving in the U.S. Army. When he returned to the Jamestown area he began his tenure with The Resource Center. He retired his position as the Assistant Executive Director for Health and Diagnostic and Treatment Services in 2009. He is cur-rently semi-retired and is a
self employed consultant in health care management.
“These are rapidly chang-ing and challenging times,” Poppleton said. “Lutheran is an important asset to the community, especially for seniors and our youth in need. It’s important that we maintain stability and a positive perspective for the future. I’m grateful for my career with The Resource Center and I’m looking for-
ward to giving back to the community and contribut-ing in a different way as a Board member than I did as an employee.” He said.
Lutheran offers a full continuum of care for both
seniors and for youth with special needs. The Lu-theran team helps adults navigate the exciting world of worry free senior living and the complex world of aging. G.A. Family Ser-vices is focused on helping
youth become successful and assuring they have a permanent loving home. For more information call Lutheran at 665-9405 or log onto www.lutheran-jamestown.org.

Observed each year in Oc-tober, Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM) grew out of a single day; the “Day of Unity” in Oc-tober 1981 was organized by the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence to connect groups that worked to end violence against women and chil-dren. The fi rst observance of Domestic Violence Awareness Month took place in October 1987, and two years later in 1989, Congress passed a law designating October as Na-tional Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
Domestic Violence, or intimate partner violence, is a serious epidemic in the United States that af-fects individuals in every community, regardless of age, economic status, race, religion, nationality, or educational background. Domestic Violence can involve family members, former intimate partners (same or opposite sex), a situation where a rela-tionship is “perceived” by another, etc. Intimate partner violence is a pat-tern of coercive behavior that is used by one person to gain power and con-
trol over another. It may include the use of physical and sexual violence, verbal and emotional abuse, stalk-ing and economic abuse. Domestic violence results in physical injury, psychologi-cal trauma, and sometimes death. The consequences of domestic violence can carry on through genera-tions and therefore last a lifetime.
Consider the following: (per Domestic Violence Statistics 2013)
Nearly one in fi ve teenage girls who have been in a re-lationship said a boyfriend threatened violence or self- harm if presented with a breakup.
Worldwide, at least one in every three women has been beaten, forced into sex or otherwise abused during her lifetime. Generally, the abuse is a member of her own family.
Every day in the US, more than three women are mur-dered by their husbands or boyfriends.
Men who witnessed their parents’ domestic violence were twice more likely to abuse their own wives than sons of non-violent parents.
Studies suggest that up to 10 million children wit-ness some form of domestic violence annually.
Domestic violence is the leading cause of injury to women – more than car accidents, muggings, and rapes combined.
Every nine seconds in the US a woman is assaulted or beaten.
A report by the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statis-tics showed that rates of intimate partner violence decreased between 1993 and 2010. (Data from the National Crime Victimiza-tion Survey). This shows the ability to educate and spread the word about domestic violence because of the “Violence Against Women Act” has made a difference. A few of the fi ndings are:
From 1994 to 2010, the overall rate of intimate partner violence in the United States declined by 64%, from 9.8 victimiza-tions per 1,000 persons age 12 or older to 3.6 per 1,000.
From 1994 to 2010, about 4 in 5 victims of intimate partner violence were female.
Compared to every other age group, a smaller per-centage of female victims ages 12 to 17 were previ-ously victimized by the same offender.
Intimate partner violence
declined by more than 60% for both males and females from 1994-2010.
Female’s ages 18 to 24 and 25 to 34 generally experi-enced the highest rates of intimate partner violence.
The rate of intimate part-ner violence for Hispanic females declined 78%, from 18.8 victimizations per 1,000 in 1994 to 4.1 per 1,000 in 2010.
Females living in house-holds comprised of one female adult with children experienced intimate part-ner violence at a rate more than 10 times higher than households with married adults with children and 6 times higher than house-holds with one female only.
These statistics are a sign of hope but our work is not done. We are on the right path but it is still a long one. Funding is less, which means a decrease in manpower to assist victims and their families. This is where the public can help. Speak up if you suspect domestic violence or abuse. Don’t wait for the victim to come to you, ask if there is something wrong. Don’t judge or blame them, but express concern. Don’t give advice but offer help in the way of resources.
The Chautauqua County Coalition Against Domes-
tic Violence and Sexual Assault (CCCADV&SA) organize several activities for the public. During the month of October our Si-lent Witness exhibit will be displayed at 4 different ven-ues – Jamestown Business College, James Prendergast Library, Chautauqua Mall and Jamestown Com-munity Colleges Library. This exhibit, which began nationally in 1990 remem-bers and honors victims. It is made up of life sized red fi gures each represent-ing a victim/survivor here in Chautauqua County. Although faceless, and nameless, they acknowl-edge a real person with real feelings behind each story. Take the time to read their stories, also read/take the literature that is on display along with the exhibit.
Domestic Violence Screen-ings will be held at Jame-stown Community Col-lege, Jamestown Business College and Chautauqua County Health Depart-ment. Project Crossroads facilitates these and they entail having students/pa-tients, voluntarily, complete anonymous surveys about any history of domestic violence. Also available for, whether they complete a survey or not, are various pamphlets/resources to take, and individuals avail-
able to answer questions. If you are at any of these venues and asked to com-plete one please do so, your participation is important.
The CCCADV&SA is committed to coordinat-ing a countywide col-laborative network to address the needs of those affected by interpersonal violence. Through their unifi ed efforts the coalition membership is committed to providing education, support and assistance, in a consistent, sensitive and nondiscriminatory manner. The coalition is facilitated by Project Crossroads. Project Crossroads, created in 1996, is an educational partnership between the Jamestown Police Depart-ment and Family Service of the Chautauqua Region.

Are you looking for those delectable Girl Scout cookies this year? The Girl Scouts of Western New York’s Cookie Program will now take place in the win-ter/spring. Orders for Girl Scout cookies begin Janu-
ary 11, and the program ends March 30, 2014.
The date change gives the volunteers and staff more time to register girls and get troops running. Girls will be able to plan pro-grams and set product sale goals for the year.
“By moving the Girl
Scouts of Western New York Cookie Program to the spring, we have joined forces with other councils to create a single, powerful voice not only in our own jurisdiction, but across the country. Together with these councils, we will raise awareness of the fi ve essential skills (goal setting, decision making, money
management, people skills and business ethics) girls learn when they participate in this fi nancial literacy program,” said Cindy Odom, chief executive of-fi cer of Girl Scouts of West-ern New York. “Currently, 107 of 109 councils across the United States sell cook-ies in the spring, including councils in Michigan, Wyo-
ming, Maine, Minnesota and Ohio.”
To raise funds for their fall and winter activities, troops have been invited to par-ticipate in the Magazine and Munchies program, a “friends and family” sale in which girls sell nuts, can-dies and magazine orders. This program ends Nov. 1. Just like with the Cookie
Program, girls determine how to use the money they raise - whether they save for a trip or use it for Girl Scout programs.

In life or death situations, it’s easier to survive when there is more than one person working toward the same goal and helping each other out. Cancer can be a life or death situation and a woman can’t battle breast cancer alone, she needs a whole lot of people. It takes a village to survive breast cancer, a village full of sup-port and love and caring people that are vested in a woman’s battle against this disease and doing every-thing within their power to help her survive. Without the village, a woman would be lost and according to many survivors, a good support system is critical to getting through treatment and on to a better life after breast cancer.
While immediate family may seem like the obvious support group that a cancer patient would need, there are more members to a survivor’s village than one would initially think. One of the fi rst members of a woman’s new family that must meet 100% approval is her medical staff: surgeons, oncologists, therapists, doctors, nurses and others who see the patient through good and bad, consider and address the patient’s needs and desires, as well as her concerns regarding treatment. A patient must be absolutely confi dent that she is in the best medical hands possible as they are her guides to a healthier life after breast cancer.
Once a woman begins seeing her medical family regularly, it’s highly recom-mended by survivors to get
an appointment buddy This person not only accom-panies the woman to and from appointments, often driving because the patient feels weak, nauseous or violently ill, but also attends doctor appointments as a second set of ears to ensure that all instructions were heard correctly. A breast cancer patient could easily miss simple instructions or appointment dates due to distractions, a wander-ing mind or inability to concentrate. Choose an appointment buddy that is easily available during of-fi ce hours and give him/her the appointment treatment schedule in advance so they can act as an appointment reminder as well. At times, an appointment buddy may seem like more of an enemy as they are a con-stant reminder of the new life a breast cancer patient must endure. Just be sure to not take it out on them, they just want to see you healthy again or they wouldn’t be there.
As the body progresses through the daily challeng-es of treatment, so does the mind as it struggles to gain back control of what was once healthy . A woman must have in her village
of people, one or more people that support her through the constant ups and downs of breast cancer treatment. A patient needs someone they can lean on, a shoulder to cry on, or a person to hold them, This support person can be a partner, spouse or fam-ily member. Therapists or counselors can also provide mental support, but may not always be there at the drop of a hat. This person needs to be able to handle frantic calls in the middle of the night, anxiety and panic attacks after treatments or the hysterical meltdowns of a patient whose hair has begun to fall out. This support person is a rock to the patient and key to a woman’s survival.
For some, the mental sup-port person may also be a spiritual support person, but the more in the village the merrier. A clergyman, women’s circle, or other church members can all assist in fi lling the spiritual needs of a woman strug-gling to fi ght for her life and win. The presence of God, the Great Spirit or other higher power provide solace and often a renewed rela-tionship with the church and their teachings regard-
ing suffering, healing and rebirth. The presence of Spirit helps woman come to terms with her illness and the growth necessary to proceed to the next level of survival.
As a woman wraps herself around her health and be-gins to look outward again, there may be signs of ne-glect around the home since everyone has been focusing on her health and improve-ment and not the house. When good samaritans like neighbors, family and friends extend a hand and offer to help with domestic duties, do not hesitate to accept their kindness with gratitude and praise. Need-ing assistance with meals, cleaning, shopping and the
kids does not indicate fail-ure in any way, but instead demonstrates the vast sup-port system a breast cancer survivor needs in order to focus on her health, reduce stress and show her family they can do things without her constant help, at least for a little while.
As treatment proceeds and a woman’s health is re-stored, it’s time to take back her health in a positive way with the help of a number of support people. A workout buddy or personal trainer supports lifestyle changes and acts as a great motiva-tor on those days when a weak body has a hard time moving. By establishing fi tness goals and having a buddy to bare witness, a
cancer survivor has a better chance of establishing per-manent habits that not only reinforce their new outlook on health but celebrates their journey through breast cancer to survival on the other side.
Whether it’s a yoga instruc-tor or dietitian, husband or best gal pal, second cousin or treatment center sup-port group, the network of people that a breast cancer patient surrounds herself with is key to her long term survival. Positive people generate positive energy that yield positive results and is exactly what a breast cancer patient needs, a sup-port system that celebrates life. Because it’s worth celebrating.
It takes a Village to survive Breast Cancer
Can’t fi nd a support group that fi ts your needs? Start your own breast cancer survivor support group and learn about the things that are important to you like fi tness, daily struggles, anger management, spiritual growth and more.

This week:THE TASTE OF FALL: PUMPKIN GINGERBREAD TRIFLE
By Katy WiseContributing Writer
It’s that wonderful time of year again! The time where all the pumpkin, apple and cinnamon des-serts make a comeback in attempts to make us feel better about how cold it is outside. With that being said, here is a delicious seasonal recipe that has recently become a favorite of mine.
I was introduced to this tasty treat at my best friend Erin’s wedding, when the bride herself made it for her reception. She’s that best friend who’s great at pretty much everything. One of my favorite things about this recipe is that it’s light, and although it does taste like the very defi ni-tion of fall, it doesn’t weigh you down like most other holiday recipes. Hope you enjoy it!
Pumpkin Gingerbread Trifl e
1 box gingerbread cake, prepared
1 can pumpkin pie fi lling
2 boxes vanilla instant pudding
2 ½ C. milk
2 C. whipping cream (could also use cool whip)
4 Tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
¼ tsp. ground cinnamon
If you already have sub-stantial trifl e experience, and are confi dent in your ‘trifl ing abilities’ you can ignore most of the follow-ing instructions.
Prepare the gingerbread cake according to direc-tions on box, one 8x8 square pan will yield enough cake for recipe. If you have time, I would suggest preparing the cake with plenty of time for it to cool. I usually try to make it the night before I will be making the trifl e, so that the pudding and whipped cream don’t become runny
from coming into contact with a warm cake.
There are 2 different ways that I am aware of to prepare the cake for layer-ing. You can crumble the cake into small crumbs, or cut into small pieces. Do whichever you prefer! Personally, I have found the crumbling method to be far more messy than convenient.
If you so choose, cut the cake into small squares, approximately 1 inch by 1 inch wide. If you desire, you can then cut these pieces once more, length-wise, so that they are easy to arrange.
Next, using a standing mixer, blend the milk and pudding mix together on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add the pump-kin to the vanilla pudding mixture, blend well until smooth.
Transfer the pumpkin and vanilla pudding into a separate bowl (unless you have two mixing bowls for your stand mixer.) Put the whipping cream, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon into mixing bowl and blend together on medium speed until mixture looks wavy.
Using a trifl e bowl, see picture, layer ingredients to your heart’s content! I per-sonally love seeing layers that are near perfection, but ultimately it will taste the same no matter how you place the ingredients in the bowl. Refrigerate until serving.
If desired, save some gin-gerbread cake to sprinkle on the top for decoration. I used gingerbread cookies to garnish my trifl e, but only because I had already made some for my hub-baroo to take to work the following day.
Enjoy!

When mom, Tammy, told her only daughter that she had a baby girl, Zoie, age 7, looked puzzled and asked, “Oh, who is she?”
While I was pregnant with our youngest son, Andrew, my sister gave my ‘baby bump’ the name “Bob.” Our two-year-old lov-ingly called my belly this pet name for the remainder of our pregnancy, and still calls his baby brother Bob every once in awhile, most often when people ask in the grocery store what our little one’s name is. Our pediatrician has even come to know Andrew as “Bob” and will sometimes refer to him using that name during check-ups.
COLLEGE TIPS, CONTINUED FROM PG 1know you very well. Hope-fully at least one of those teachers have had direct contact with you outside of the classroom, maybe through your involvement with a club or a sports team or another extracurricular activity or special event.
4) If possible, visit as many of the colleges you are considering
Keeping fi nancial concerns in mind and knowing your time commitments will limit you, visits are not essential, yet nothing will help you more to defi ne the ideal learning environment for you than to see it for yourself. If you can sched-ule some visits, do it.
3) Share what you are
thinking with your par-ents, your friends and their parents
Share your initial reactions and personal feelings about the colleges you are con-sidering with your parents and other people you are close to. It is important that they know what your goals are and are on the same page with you so any advice they have will help move the process along.
2) Write your personal essay from your heart
The essay is a way for col-lege admissions representa-tives to get to know you a little better since your high school grades and SAT scores only tell them about your academic achieve-
ments. The essay is a written introduction about yourself, so remember to carefully proofread it.
1) Relax
Despite all of the stress, pressure and uncertainty that accompanies the col-lege application process, try and remember that one year from now you will likely be attending an excellent college. One of the greatest things about higher education in our country is there are hun-dreds of opportunities and options for enjoying the college experience.

SUNY Fredonia School of Music announces its annual String Experience on Sunday, Nov. 17 (early registration deadline: Octo-ber 31). String Experience is a seminar for high school violinists, violists, cellists and bassists that brings you in contact with Fredonia’s conservatory-trained string faculty, including David Colwell and Maureen Yuen (violin), David Rose (viola), Erin Ellis (cello sabbatical replacement for Natasha Farny), Harry Jacobson (bass), and David Rudge (Director of Orchestras).
The String Experience exemplifi es the unique one-on-one relationship that is fostered between students and teachers at Fredonia. Young musicians will be given the chance to improve performance and practice techniques, interact with other string players, and attend a recital with our distinguished fac-ulty artists. String players will work in small sessions, developing performance skills, working on issues of stage fright and the audi-tion process, improving technical skills such as shifting, intonation, tone production, and more. The atmosphere is designed to be a fun, supportive learning environment for students, but teachers and parents are also encour-aged to attend (parents and teachers are invited to attend at no charge). Registration includes a full
day of activities and lunch on campus.
“The String Experience is a wonderful opportunity to be inspired by the faculty from the School of Music and our guest artists, as well as hearing the playing accomplishments of some of your peers in the master-classes,” said bass professor Harry Jacobson. “ It is a great day of immersion in music.”
A highlight of this year’s event will be a session on string techniques and a reading session with our special guest Dr. Michael Klinghoffer. Michael Klinghoffer, double bass performer, conductor and educator studied under Gary Karr at Yale Uni-versity, where he received Master of Music and at the Hartt School Univer-sity of Hartford, where he received his Doctor of Mu-sical Arts. He has been as-sistant principal bass player in the Israel Symphony Orchestra and in the Israel Sinfonietta. Currently, he performs solo concerts, recitals and chamber music and conducts master classes in Israel and abroad. His repertoire ranges from contemporary Israel music, (much of it composed for him), to his own arrange-ments for double bass, which have been published in the U.S. and in Eu-rope and recorded on two compact discs. He has published articles on Music Education and on Peda-gogy in Israel professional periodicals as well as in the U.S. “Music Education in Institutions of Non Formal
Education” was published by MATAN in collabora-tion with the Israeli Min-istry of Education. Since 1987, he has been on the faculty of the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance, conducting orches-tras, teaching the double bass and other subjects. He was the Head of the String Department, the Dean of Students and he is current-ly serving as the Dean of Performing Arts and is the Director of the Jerusalem Conservatory Chamber Orchestra.
There will also be work-shops in free improvisation, and a chamber music read-ing and coaching session earlier in the afternoon. The concerts will feature Fredonia’s distinguished faculty members perform-ing an interesting array of chamber works with special guest soloists, including Dr. Klinghoffer, Fredonia string students and alumni.

By Phil BensContributing Writer
Speech to text technology is a fascinating technology that has opened up oppor-tunities for many people that are physically disabled or for those that wish to be more productive on their job. Speech to text has been around as far back as the 1950’s, and has continued to evolve. Speech to text technology is also known as voice recognition software. This technology has evolved from putting words into a document to also giving commands to a computer.
My fi rst contact with the software was in the offi ce environment where man-agers would use software to draft memos and then would have them cleaned up by their secretary. The software was thought to be pretty advanced but it had some bugs. Earlier voice rec-ognition software demanded a quiet environment with a calibration process that involved the user to read a series of words that the
software provided. The soft-ware would then generate an “interpretation” of the user’s speech pattern and would then dictate as the user spoke into the com-puter microphone.
Ambient sound could throw off the calibration. Sounds coming from fl uorescent lights or fans could throw off the calibration. The calibra-tion was key with the early version of this software and it could be very frustrating when the voice recognition was just a little bit off. I’ve attended sales presentations of the “offi ce of the future” that would demonstrate a secretary giving voice commands to her computer while she did other activi-ties. Commands such as, “Open, Word Processor” or “Save File” while they were beginning to make copies. Pretty fun and futuristic, but I’m not sure how much of an increase in productivity was achieved.
In education I have seen speech to text work in limited capacities. As I mentioned in the offi ce environment, a bad calibra-tion sometimes could throw off the process. But the one thing that I have noted as I have tried this technol-ogy myself is that the brain needs to adapt to using this type of technology. For ex-ample, as I write this article, I pause and I think about what my next sentence will be. I also revise as I am typ-ing this article. I may look at the last two sentences that I just wrote and want to
delete those sentences. You can do the same thing with the voice recognition sys-tem, but the actions are not as fl uid. It would take a tre-mendous amount of practice for me to acquire the editing skills in the voice recogni-tion software. The other interesting thing that I have noticed as a I use the soft-ware is that I will be think-ing as I type. It is though I type slow enough so that my brain can put together some more ideas for me to put together into my essay or article. When I speak into a document, I almost feel like I am on stage and I need to perform for the computer! I could be the only one that experiences this, but this is my experience.
Voice recognition today is tremendous. The technol-ogy not only has the ability to understand your speech without calibration but it has the ability to predict what you are going to say based on context and past phrases that you have entered into your device. I specifi cally say device, because mobile devices have driven the improvement of voice recognition and it will only continue to get bet-ter. I think this technology is terrifi c and has a great potential for those that have a hard time holding a pen or typing on a keyboard. It also is great for those work-ers that are in an offi ce, on a construction site, or in a classroom. It is defi nitely software worth trying.

Virtuoso oboist/Celtic vio-linist Colin Maier will give a free guest artist recital Saturday, October 26th at 8pm in Rosch Recital Hall on the SUNY Fredonia campus. His recital will include standard repertoire for the oboe along with Celtic music played on violin, sometimes with a theatrical twist. Colin will be joined in this concert with School of Music pia-nist I-Fei Chen, oboe fac-ulty Sarah Hamilton and Mark DuBois, and students Alec Dube, Ian Liedke and Emma Garcia. Colin will also be the guest artist the next day in the School of Music’s annual Double Reed Day (information on-line at www.fredonia.edu/music/community/drd.asp).
Born and raised in Cal-gary, Colin Maier gradu-ated from the University of Calgary in 1997 with a degree in oboe perfor-mance. Colin is currently the oboist for the inter-nationally renowned and critically acclaimed en-semble “Quartetto Gelato”

He has also played with orchestras such as: The Calgary Philharmon-ic, National Ballet Orches-tra, Mississauga Symphony, Symphony of the Koote-nays, Scarborough Philhar-monic, Contact Contempo-rary Music Ensemble and the Niagara International Chamber Music Festival. Colin is currently the oboe professor at Brock Uni-versity in St. Catharines, Ontario.

With these other instru-ments, Colin has been the founder/leader of many independent groups that include; The Jive Mom-mas, High Strung, The Fabulous Doo-Wop Boys, The Plaid Tongued Devils, Sonshine and Broccoli, Full Fathom Five. In 2002, he was a featured Jazz oboist
at the International Double Reed Festival where he performed and conducted a jazz master class.
In addition to being a musician, Colin has also worked for over 20 years as a dancer, actor, stuntman, singer, choreographer, acrobat and martial-artist. Colin had the honor of playing the devil fi ddler in the fl ying blue canoe for the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic Opening Cer-emonies. Colin had also been seen in; “Lord of the Rings” (Mirvish), “Fire” (CanStage), “Forbidden Phoenix” (LKTYP), “KA” (Cirque du Soleil), “Amade-us” (Alberta Theatre Proj-ects), “That Dance Show” (Saltance Productions), “Cats” (Neptune The-atre), Joseph’s Dreamcoat (StageWest/Drayton), “A Chorus Line” (StageWest), Sarah Brightman’s World Tour, and TV’s “Honey I Shrunk the Kids!”.
Colin’s combination of music and theatre is quite unique and he continues to fi nd new, exciting and ground breaking ways to combine his two passions.

Jamestown High School Principal Mike McElrath announced that Rishi Gupta and Christopher Haase have been named Commended Students in the 2014 National Merit Scholarship Program. A Letter of Commendation from the school and the National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC) was presented to these scholasti-cally talented seniors.
“This is a signifi cant ac-
complishment for these young men and we look forward to watching them continue their success moving forward,” said Mr. McElrath. “The JHS community applauds these students, their parents, and the teachers who have supported them as they progressed through the Jamestown Public School system.”
About 34,000 Commended Students throughout the nation are being recog-nized for their excep-tional academic promise. Although they will not
continue in the 2014 com-petition for National Merit Scholarship awards, Com-mended Students placed among the top fi ve percent of more than 1.5 million students who entered the 2014 competition by taking the 2012 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT).
“The young men and women being named Com-mended Students have demonstrated outstand-ing potential for academic success,” commented a spokesperson for NMSC. “These students represent a valuable national re-source; recognizing their accomplishments, as well as the key role their schools play in their academic development, is vital to the advancement of the educational excellence in our nation. We hope that this recognition will help broaden their educational opportunities and encour-age them as they continue their pursuit of academic success.”

SUNY Fredonia’s annual Fall Sweep will take place Saturday, Nov. 9, from 9:30 a.m. to noon. Now in its ninth year, Fall Sweep is a yearly volunteer service initiative in which SUNY Fredonia students go out into the village of Fredonia to rake leaves off of their neighbors’ lawns to demon-strate the commitment they have to their community.
Community members residing on Temple Street, Central Avenue and small-er side streets will receive a fl yer on their front porch the week before the event. The fl yer will explain that if the recipients wish to have their yard raked by SUNY Fredonia students, they should visibly post the Fall Sweep fl yer in a win-dow or on their front door the morning of the event.
The sweep will begin in the Williams Center on
the Fredonia campus with opening remarks and speeches from President Virginia Horvath and Village of Fredonia Mayor Steve Keefe. Students will then be sent into the community to begin their service.
Fall Sweep is co-hosted by SUNY Fredonia’s Applied Communications Associa-tion (ACA) and the Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA). This year’s event is being done in conjunction with SUNY Fredonia’s “Days of Ser-
vice,” a week-long event that will combine volunteer efforts and service-learning projects at various locations throughout Western New York.

Before you grab that rake and start piling up the leaves on the curb, remember that pulverizing your leaves with a mulching lawnmower provides nutrients to feed
your lawn, reducing the need for fertiliz-er. This organic matter helps your soil
store rainfall for your grass to stay green in summer. Also, mowing your leaves
saves on taxes if your DPW doesn’t have to pick them up curbside!

Mow the Leaves
Adding leaves to the lake or streams feeds the plants and algae
Blowing your leaves into the lake or rak-ing them into a ditch or stream causes organic material to build up in the lake.
This material feeds lake plants and algae, interfering with boating, fishing and
swimming fun next summer. Compost or mulch your leaves this year.

Sabres earn first win in Shootout
By Ira PodellAP Sports Writer
Ryan Miller and the rest of the Buffalo Sabres were still working hard even when it appeared their season-opening losing streak was about to reach a club-record eight games.
Often beaten - but not beaten down - the Sabres mustered a late comeback to get to overtime and then topped the New York Islanders in a shootout to win 4-3 on Tuesday night.

After a decorated collegiate ca-reer, former Fredonia State diver and Dunkirk native Christian Torres is now making a splash on the national level.
While at Fredonia State, Torres competed in the 2010 NCAA Championship Meet as a senior, fi nishing sixth off the 3-meter board and ninth off the 1-meter board.
He now begun his post-collegiate diving career on the national scene, and is trying to make a name for himself at the Masters level. To date, he has partici-pated in three meets: the Spring Nationals in Denver, the Pan Am Meet in Largo, Florida and the Summer Nationals at the Univer-sity of Michigan.
Head coach Arthur Wang is pleased to see one of his top div-ers still competing. "Christian is still relatively young and new to the sport of diving," said Wang. "He just scratched the surface of diving at Fredonia... I won't be surprised to see him earn more medals in the next few years.
In his most recent competition in mid-August, Torres, along with another former Blue Devil, Scott Horsington, had a strong show-ing in the Masters Summer Na-tional Meet in Michigan. While there, Torres recorded fi rst-place fi nishes in three of the six events he competed in, including the
men's synchronized dive (where he competed with Horsington), the mixed synchronized dive and the grand masters. He also fi nished second off the 1-meter and the platform, and fourth off the 3-meter board.
In order to compete in the three-day event, the duo left for Michi-gan on Thursday, performed about 35 dives apiece over a three-day span. Torres found it to be physically challenging. "It was very tough but worth the experi-ence," he said.
Torres' fi rst Masters meet was in Denver in May. He took gold medals in the 1-meter and 3-me-ter board – the only two events in which he competed.
With his success at the meet in Denver, veteran diver Stefanos Tzivopoulos, an Olympic hope-ful for the country of Greece, took notice. Tzivopoulos and Torres connected inside and outside the pool, and Tzivopoulos approached Torres about com-peting in the Pan Am Meet in Largo.
Not sure he would be able to afford the trip on short notice, Tzivopoulus was able to secure a sponsorship from his diving club in New York City, and Torres was able to make the trip.
At the Pan Am meet, Torres confi rmed Tzivopoulos' faith in him and would claim fi rst in four of the fi ve events entered. He and
Tzivopoulus teamed up for fi rst place in the 3-meter synchro-nized dive.
Torres' goal now is to compete at the Master Worlds Champion-ships in Montreal next August. He indicated that a huge number of divers are from around the world are expected to compete.
When asked if his ultimate goal was the Olympics or Seniors level, Torres gave a realistic answer. "In order to do that, I would have to train six or seven days a week year round… Right now, I am only able to train a few days a week."
Outside of his own competitions, he has remained close to the sport he loves. He has assisted with the Fredonia State team, and helped out with the com-bined Dunkirk/Fredonia/Silver Creek/Forestville diving team.
"He loves the sport and lives for it," said Wang "One can see his enthusiasm when he coaches."
Torres also runs his own diving club, which meets every Fri and Sunday on the Fredonia State campus.
"I get divers from Buffalo and throughout Chautauqua Coun-ty," said Torres.
Torres will be seeking sponsor-ship and need to raise funds for his planned trip to Montreal. Currently, he is working full time for Chautauqua Works in Dunkirk, in addition to his train-ing and coaching regimen.

Despite being held scoreless for the entirety of the fi rst quarter, quarterback Jake Sisson and the Jamestown Red Raiders quickly rebounded and continued their frantic scoring pace to crush Class AA rival Clarence, 52-8.
Actually, all of that scoring oc-curred in the second and third quarters alone as head coach Tom Langworthy was afforded yet another opportunity to play some of his younger players off the bench.
Sisson threw only nine passes in the game and yet completed eight of them for 138 yards and three touchdowns. He also kept the ball himself four times for 71 yards and another pair of scores. Add in three two-point conver-sion tosses and you have yourself a darn good game.
The quarterback set a Western New York record with his 34 touchdowns (20 passing, 14 rush-ing) through six games.
And yet, the damage could be much, much more.
“In terms of minutes, he’s only played the equivalent of four games,” proud father George Sis-son noted on a Facebook post.
While the offense has been the story of the season thus far, it was the Red Raiders defense that set the tone early. After Clarence marched down inside the Jame-
stown 10-yard line, the defense notched tackles for losses of 3 and 9 yards before recording a pair of sacks for another 19 yards backwards.
Jamestown looked out of sync early, but fi nally found the end zone on a 30-yard pass from Sisson to Ben Larson with 9:02 left in the second quarter. On the next possession Sisson hit Zach Panebianco for another score, this one from 21 yards out and the rout was on.
Dylan Anthony, Stephen Carlson and Damien Jackson combined for 40 tackles and Michael Parker returned a fumble 31 yards for a score as the defense allowed just a touchdown late in the fourth quarter when the game was already sealed up.
The Red Raiders will travel to play Orchard Park on Friday night in a matchup between the two teams that have met for the Class AA title game two years in a row.
claSS c SoutHSouthwestern 18,Silver Creek 12It’s rare that a kicking game is the key to victory for a high school football team, but a pair of fi eld goals off the foot of Tanner Hoose made all the difference for the Trojans in Southwestern’s 18-12 win over Class C South rival Silver Creek.
Hoose booted fi eld goals of 32 and 35 yards to provide the win-ning margin for Southwestern.
Of course, junior quarterback Noah Weinstein’s go-ahead 40-yard touchdown pass to Mike Sandbloom with just over eight minutes left in the fourth quarter was pretty much the play of the game for the Trojans.
It was Silver Creek that came out quick out of the gates. After stuffi ng Southwestern on fourth down, the Black Knights dialed up an aggressive pass play and quarterback Jacob Lewis deliv-ered a perfect 28-yard touch-down strike to Dylan Szumigala for the early lead.
The two kicks by Hoose tied the game at six and it looks like that’s where the game was headed at halftime, but Sherman Williams was able to punch the ball into the end zone with three minutes left to give Silver Creek the lead.
That still wasn’t the end of the fi rst-half action as Southwest-ern quickly moved into scor-ing range thanks to a 50-yard kickoff return by Ben Swanson. Kevin Bellardo capitalized with a touchdown that knotted the game 12-12 at halftime.
Sandbloom made a great catch for the go-ahead touchdown despite solid coverage from the Silver Creek secondary. Then the Black Knights just weren’t able to respond on their last-ditch effort before the fi nal horn sounded.
Swanson led the Trojans with 70 yards on the ground while Hunter Peterson and Bellardo combined for another 80.
Williams was the workhorse back for the Black Knights with 34 carries for 155 yards and the touchdown.
Fredonia 37, Gowanda 3One goal down: The Fredonia Hillbillies clinched their second Class C South title in the past three years with a 37-6 home win over Gowanda on Friday night.
The high-octane Fredonia of-fense found the end zone just minutes into the game when Weston Ley connected with Cameron Voss for a 13-yard touchdown. While that was the only score of the fi rst quarter, the Hillbillies tacked onto their lead when Ley again found Voss for a touchdown just moments into the second quarter, this time from 34 yards out.
Of course, no Fredonia game is complete without a little Matt McCarthy action. The senior tailback once again broke the century mark with 104 yards on 12 attempts on the ground. McCarthy had a touchdown run right before halftime from 6 yards out and another late in the third quarter from 5 yards away.
Gowanda’s ground game was solid too, but the Panthers just weren’t able to keep up with Fre-donia’s defense. Brennan Geiger piled up 132 yards on 25 carries for Gowanda.
Cody Smith was a force on defense for Fredonia with nine tackles and an interception.

This commentary needs to start with the preface that I didn’t watch a whole lot of the Buffalo Bills game this week against the Cincinnati Bengals. Sunday was my fi rst anniversary and my wife probably wouldn’t have appreci-ated me spending it in front of the TV.
That said, I turned it on in time to watch the Bills outscore the Bengals 14-0 in the last quarter-plus. Thad Lewis threw a beau-tiful deep ball to T.J. Graham for the game-tying touchdown and forced overtime.
Yes, the Bills lost again. We’re all getting pretty accustomed to that in Western New York. But you know what? This team is pretty darn entertaining. That’s not something you could say about the last…I don’t know…10 years worth of Bills teams. 15 years? That Doug Flutie guy was pretty fun to watch.

Make no mistake, I’m not saying this is a good team because it isn’t. It has the exciting players like C.J. Spiller and Kiko Alonso. What separates exciting teams from good teams are the players like Eric Wood and Kyle Williams. Buffalo simply doesn’t have enough of those type of players.
But hey, the Buffalo Bills are watchable and that’s something.
This last home game was in danger of not selling out and it’s probably because Bills fans thought that rookie quarterback E.J. Manuel was the only excit-ing piece of this team. Not only would those fans be wrong because the team has many more eye-catch-ing players, but Manuel hasn’t been particularly good or exciting.
Yet.
The preseason knee injury robbed Manuel of some of his explosiveness early and I really feel like the coach-ing staff had been calling a rather conservative game plan for the rookie quarter-back until that knee fully healed. So he was forced to be more of a pocket passer. The result wasn’t pretty. Yes, the fi nal drive against Carolina (aided by a 4th down pass interfer-ence penalty if you recall) was nice, but the highlights have been few and far between.
Now another knee injury has Manuel on the shelf. Jeff Tuel stepped in and proved to be the antithesis of excitement, but Thad Lewis actually had some moments. Deep balls to Graham and Marquise Goodwin were things of beauty and showed the speed the Bills have at the receiver position. Few things in sports are as ex-citing as a completed deep ball.
Spiller is the obvious other exciting player on the of-fensive side of the ball. Again injuries have slowed the dynamic running back, but his run against Cleveland in that Thursday night game proved he still has unbelievable talent.
I don’t want to say it doesn’t matter who the Bills have under center, but a majority of their excite-ment will come from the skill positions even when Manual comes back from his injury.
And defensively, how can you ask a player to do more than Kiko Alonso has done in his fi rst six weeks in the league? I mean, the guy is being compared to Chuck Norris in the annals of American history. That’s saying something.
Tackles for losses, sacks, forced fumbles, intercep-tions — Alonso is simply a playmaker.
You know who else has made a name for himself by constantly being around the ball? Jairus Byrd. The safety fi nally made his 2013 debut against the Bengals after holding out of train-ing camp and then suffer-ing a foot injury basically the moment he stepped on the fi eld. He wasn’t a huge difference maker as he wasn’t on the fi eld for every defensive snap, but fi nished with four tackles and knocked away a pass from quarterback Andy Dalton, too.
As captivating as Alonso has been this season, I couldn’t stop following Da’Norris Searcy around the fi eld. The defensive back had 16 tackles, includ-ing 13 solo stops. He had a sack and three tackles for a loss as well. For being kind of a forgotten player on the Bills’ defense, Searcy was an animal from his safety position.
This is a team that has historically had very fun special teams players, too. Leodis McKelvin isn’t much to write home about as a cornerback, but boy is he dynamic when return-ing punts. He wasn’t able to fi nd running room against the Bengals, but Bills fans know the he can be a huge weapon.
Heck, even having Brian Moorman back as the punter makes this team more fun to watch. He was a fan favorite for years before being jettisoned to save some cap space. But he’s back and he boomed his punts to the tune of a 48.8 yard average in his fi rst game back. Yes, missed tackles led to the punt return that won Cincinnati the game, but that was hardly Moorman’s fault as he had a great punt backed up against his own goal line.
Yes, some wins would be more fun. That Caro-lina game in Week 2 was one of the most riveting games I’ve watched in the past fi ve years. Even the season-opening loss to New England was a blast.
I keep hearing people pre-dict this team will be a true contender in two years. But until then, I’m just going to enjoy Buffalo having a watchable team because it’s been a long time since we even had that.

Licenses can also be purchased by phone at 1-86-NY-DECALS (1-866-933-2257).
lake erie & tributariesThe late season yellow perch fi shing has been excellent this year, and good action continued through the week. Perch schools have moved a little shallower and catches have expanded to the east. Out of Cattaraugus Creek, catches have come between 50-70 feet of water. Some boats have had to move around before fi nding an active school. Out of Stur-geon Point and to the east, anglers have found limit catches in 45-50 feet of water. Near Buffalo, good perch catches have also been found in 45-50 feet of water, off the windmills. Emerald shiners are the best bait and are available for dipping at the foot of Ferry St. (Broderick Park) and other upper Niagara River sites. Keep in mind that transport of collected emerald shiners (from Lake Erie/Niagara River) for use
on inland waters is pro-hibited. View the Baitfi sh Regulations for informa-tion on use, transportation and possession of person-ally collected baitfi sh.
Last weekend’s rainstorms brought all creek levels up and steelhead moved into all streams. As the small to medium sized streams dropped back into fi shing shape, steelhead action was quite good on Tue and Wednesday. Clear water conditions are now found on all streams but Cattaraugus Creek, making steelhead a bit tougher to catch on those streams. Cattaraugus Creek is in good shape and is fl owing at about 195 cubic feet per second. Lake Erie steelhead commonly hit natural baits like egg sacs and worms, fl ies such as egg imitations, streamers and bugger patterns, and lures like minnow-type stickbaits and in-line spinners. An-glers can also target steel-head from the Cattaraugus Creek breakwall or off creek mouths by casting spoons, spinners and stickbaits. Boaters can target steelhead off major tributary mouths by trolling with spoons be-tween 2-2.5 mph. For those new to steelhead fi shing, see the Steelhead Fishing in Lake Erie Tributaries page for information on steelhead fi shing equipment, locations and links to stream maps.
upper niagara riverThe smallmouth bass on the upper river has been excellent lately. Boaters are doing very well along the humps in front of Strawberry Island as well
as along the sides of the is-land. Another good option is along the shoreline below the Huntley Plant. Live golden shiners have been the go-to bait, but artifi cial swimbaits have also worked well. Cooling river waters in fall usually turns on the muskellunge fi shing in the river. Drifting in the river along weed edges with large 8-10 inch tube jigs or trolling large stickbaits in the outer Buffalo Harbor are good bets. Live bait produces a mix of panfi sh and bass at shore sites along the City of Buffalo.
chautauqua lakeFall is a good time to target muskellunge on Chau-tauqua Lake. Most recent musky action has been along weedlines. Trolling with large jointed stickbaits (especially perch pattern) or casting bucktail spinners are good bets. Smallmouth bass are biting outside weed edges. Live bait fi shed near the bottom works best. Yellow perch are still biting well in 6-12 feet of water on live bait. Expect many smaller throw-backs for every keeper.
Surplus broodstock trout StockingDEC Randolph Fish Hatchery has been con-ducting their annual fall stocking of broodstock trout in Allegany and Cattaraugus Counties. All breeder trout stocked are over 2 years old and are stocked in waters where trout fi shing is permitted year-round. The follow-ing waters have been
stocked as of 10/11; Birch Run Pond received 50 14-inch brook trout; Allen Lake received 100 14-inch brook trout and 100 20-inch brook trout; Case Lake received 100 14-inch brook trout, 100 20-inch brook trout and 50 20-inch brown trout. Call the Ran-dolph Hatchery Stocking Hotline at (716) 358-4950 for updates.
inland trout StreamsThe area trout streams are in good shape. Fall fi sh-ing can be very good and with very low pressure, you can often have the stream to yourself. There is not much fl y activity except light smatterings of blue-winged olives and isonychia. Fly anglers see surface action on imita-tions as well as terrestrials. Fly anglers can also do well with smaller streamer and bugger patterns in fall for aggressive trout.
Western New York anglers have a variety of Wild Trout Streams and Stocked Trout Streams to choose from. In addition, Public Fishing Rights Maps are available for many of the area’s best trout streams.
If you need more fi sh-ing information or would like to contribute to the fi shing report, please call or e-mail Mike Todd (716-851-7010; [email protected]) or Jim Markham (716-366-0228; [email protected]). Good Luck Fishing!

The Boys & Girls Club of Northern Chautauqua County were recipients of tennis gear this fall.
The donation was made by members of the Fredonia State women's tennis team, led by their coach, Joe Calarco, whose team also hosted members of the club for hit-arounds on the Steele Hall Courts on campus.
Calarco said he donated 15 refurbished tennis racquets and a hopper of game- and practice-used tennis balls to
the club, located on Benton Street in Dunkirk, "so the kids can play on their own."
Two on-court sessions were held this fall, with the Blue Devil team members and
the children, ranging in ages from 8 to 12, hitting -- and chasing -- balls for an hour. Morgan Burns, a 2012 Fredonia State gradu-ate, supervised the Boys & Girls clubbers.
Calarco said his players found the engagement rewarding. "It was a small thing for us," one player told him, "but it meant so much to the kids."
Apparently those feelings were shared by the chil-dren. Related Calarco: "As the Club van drove away, one youngster yelled out the window "I can't wait to come back again!"
The Blue Devils completed their 2013 season last Sat at 8-5 in all matches. It is the best record in Ca-larco's 14 seasons as head coach.

“…And pushing the fi eld is last week’s winner, driving the orange and black number 511 Dodge, from faraway Brockway, Squirt Johns!”
Those words by Lloyd Williams, track announcer at Stateline Speedway in Busti, NY, were music to the ears of race fans at that border oval from 1957-1970. Williams’ words were always greeted with a thunderous ovation as one of the most popular drivers in the history of Stateline assumed his position at the rear of the starting grid. They knew they were in store for another patented charge to the checkers by the talented Brockway throttle stomper.
The Robert H. Jackson Center, 305 E. 4th St., Jamestown, NY, will premiere “SQUIRT”, a
documentary fi lm chroni-cling the racing career of Stanley L. “Squirt” Johns, on Sunday, November 3rd, 2:00 p.m.
The movie, written and produced by Randy Anderson, Greg Peterson and Randy Sweeney, all of Lakewood, NY, highlights the prolifi c stock car racing accomplishments of the former owner of The Johns Garage in Brockway.
Using video-taped in-terviews with Johns and dozens of other racers, the priceless picture collection of the late racing photogra-
pher Gordon Mahan, and vintage home movies, the fi lm makers have brought to the screen the fantastic racing years of the big man known far and wide by just one name - Squirt.
From his very fi rst race in 1950 at Clarion Park, to his fi nal effort at Clear-fi eld in 1974, Squirt was honored and respected for his mechanical genius and driving ability. Racing at multiple tracks throughout Pennsylvania and New York, he racked up count-less race victories and track championships. Always approachable and friendly,
he was a fan-favorite, espe-cially to children.
Following the viewing of the 55-minute movie, Squirt and the producers will engage in a question and answer ses-sion with the audience.
“SQUIRT” is the second auto racing fi lm from Anderson, Peterson and Sweeney. Their previous documentary was “State-line Speedway - The First Ten Years, 1956-1964.”
The fi lm “SQUIRT” is a production of the Stateline Legacy Fund of Jame-stown, NY in cooperation with the Chautauqua Re-gion Community Founda-tion and the Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame. There will be no admission charged. DVD copies of the fi lm will be available for purchase.
For further information, contact Randy Anderson, Stateline Legacy Fund, at 716-640-6219.

By Stefan GestwickiStar Sports Editor
My golfer’s diary will follow my golf outing(s) for the week. I’ll look at how course conditions, weather, equipment, playing partners, etc. affect the game we love. Please keep in mind that I only started golfi ng last year, so yes, my scores are hardly that of a scratch golfer. But that’s what makes golf great: You don’t have to be a zero handi-cap to enjoy the game.
Every day you get to go out on a course this time of year is a bonus day. So even when I play poorly, I can’t help but feel fortunate. Plus let’s be honest: where would I rather be, the offi ce or the golf course?
So I went with my brother-in-law (who technically isn’t yet, but is marrying my sister on Oct. 26!) to Cassadaga Country Club. CCC is closed this weekend because Stacy Wintersteen is getting married. Con-grats Stacey!
Going back to golf, yeah it was a little cold and wet, but I’ve never let weather be an excuse. The round started off wonderfully. I hit one of the longest, straightest drives of my life off the tee. I was as shocked as anyone because I haven’t been playing much lately. Even when I do play twice a week my drives are shaky at best. Heck, my second
shot might have even better as I landed my ball right where I wanted on the front of the green. That green runs quick so you al-ways have to land right on the front if you don’t want to roll off the back.
Enter my good buddy the putter. Holy smokes has my putting been shaky the last few times out. Then there are days where the cup looks the size of a basketball hoop and you can’t miss. That’s what makes golf so great…and frustrating.
If you’re familiar with CCC you’ll know that the fi rst fi ve holes are all par 4’s that run back-and-forth along-side each other. Not to say they’re all the same because they’re far from it. Trees, hills, sand traps and a creek make each hole very unique. Of course all the greens are very different as well.
I’ve been playing at Cas-sadaga quite a bit in the sec-ond half of the golf season and can usually par at least two or three of these par 4s. Last time out I think I might have gone 4-of-5. Yes, birdies are nice, but again, you have to sink putts to get birdies. This time however, I bogeyed each and every one of those darned holes. Five-over after fi ve is not where I like to be.
No. 6 was set up just about as diffi cult as can be. It’s a
short par 3 on most days, but the tee boxes were as far back as I’ve ever seen and the fl ag was on the front-right of the green — where it slopes down considerably. I managed to accomplish something I’ve never done before. I sank my ball right into the sandtrap to the short-left side of the green. Having never hit out of wet sand before, my fi rst attempt was horrendous. I basi-cally swung under the ball and it went nowhere. My second attempt to get out of the sand I decided to go right after the ball and hit a beauty of a shot – one of my best ever to be honest. Not only did I get it up in the middle of the green, but perfectly hit the slope that allowed the ball to roll slowly towards the pin, where it stopped within a foot of the hole. Nice. Lucky, but nice.
Fast-forwarding to No. 8, I fi nally found the right club for that distance. It’s a long, diffi cult par 3, but I managed to land on the fringe last time out with a 3-hybrid. I used the same club this time and managed to land on the green off the tee for the fi rst time ever. If you’ve ever played this hole, you won’t be surprised to hear that I four-putted for double-bogey. Goodness that green is tough.
No. 9 was a disaster, too. I hit what I thought was a gor-geous tee shot from the up-per tee box. I had a bead on it and watch it sail through the air, curve slightly to the right and SPLASH! right into the creek. Normally there isn’t much water in that creek and you can sometimes get lucky and the ball bounces out. Not this time with all the recent rain.
Then I did something totally mindless. I pulled out a random club to retrieve my ball with, dropped the ball in the grass and hit it. I have no idea whatsoever what club I used. I never really looked at distance, just grabbed the club and hit. Luckily my random draw wasn’t too bad and I was just short of the green, but that could have been di-sastrous had I used a 4-iron or something instead of the 7-iron the shot requires.
A lot of courses are accept-ing membership applications at reduced prices until the beginning of the year. Now’s your chance to think ahead for the 2014 golf season. Or if anyone wanted to get your local sports editor a great holiday gift, golf member-ships make great presents.

Gwen Stokes was the fi rst runner across the fi nish line at Point Gratiot during the Dunkirk Invitational and her Fredonia team-mates followed suit as the Lady Hillbillies ran their way to a team victory.
Stokes fi nished in a time of 21:09 while Michaela Tra-muta was fourth in 21:43. Claire O’Brien fi nished fi fth (22:37.74), Maitland Langworthy was eighth (23:46) and Mary Polvino was ninth (24:74).
Even with all those run-ners in the top 10, Fredonia barely edged out Silver Creek for the meet title with 27 points to the Black Knights’ 30. Dunkirk fi eld-ed an incomplete team with Hannah McCrady the lone Lady Marauder fi nisher at 33:55 and 18th place.
Dunkirk’s Javy Soto bolted to the front of the pack at the gun and never ceded that lead in winning the boys race in 17:43. It was a shade faster than he ran the course a few days before at
Dunkirk’s league meet.
“Yeah it did help,” Soto noted. “We didn’t have a meet on Sat because (Dunkirk coach Kurt) Warmbrodt wanted us to take it off. Then we ran well on Tue. (Maple Grove’s) Corey (Wefi ng) got me, but it was still a good day.”
No one could catch Soto, but his teammate Ethan Francis was behind him the entire race and fi nished second in 17:59.52.
“It’s really nice having a teammate with you,” Soto added. “It’s like having a running buddy. It keeps you going.”
As a team Dunkirk fi nished second with 52 points to St. Francis’ 41. Silver Creek placed third with 57 and Fredonia was fourth with 69 points.
“I was missing my third/fourth runner who was in New York City with a fam-ily commitment,” Warm-brodt said. “Fredonia was missing one of its top guys, too. He was here in sweats so something was obviously bugging him.
“St. Francis came in packed in very nicely,” he contin-ued. “Both us and Fredonia were spread out. Silver Creek was right there.”
Silver Creek’s Caleb Makuch was the fi rst non-Marauder to cross the fi nish line, taking third palce in 18:32. He was followed closely by Fredonia’s Ste-phen Formanowicz at 18:38.
“It’s a fl at course,” St. Francis coach Jonathon Kiefer said. “It’s such a beautiful day. It’s a good spectator course, too. The fi nish is a nice long straightaway so it’s nice to be able to see the fi nishes develop and watch the battles at the end.”
Also counting for points for Dunkirk were Ray Tar-nowski (8th – 19:08), Tom Logan (18th – 19:56) and Billy Bradley (25th – 20:48).
For Fredonia it was Josh Goodhue (9th – 19:15), Ryan Meredith (14th – 19:33), Jacob Eckman (20th – 20:01) and Nick Arcoraci (22nd – 20:18).
Silver Creek had Jake Mul-len place 10th in 19:17 and then a trio of runners fi nish 15th-17th. Jack McAlevey (19:43), James Corbin (19:44) and Jakob McDaneld (19:49) were all bunched together until the very end.

Silver Creek had a special ceremony for its 10 seniors and then went out and played fi rst-place North Collins to a scoreless tie.
“We had won three in a row and this was the fi rst-place team,” Silver Creek coach Dan Foy said. “It was a very good effort. You want to have momentum going into the playoffs.”
Silver Creek goalie Adam Klajbor made fi ve saves in the shutout, but the Black Knights couldn’t convert on any of their scoring chances.
“That’s one of the big things I talk about it opportunities wasted,” Foy added. “We wasted three or four really good ones and we could have one this game.”
The game also signaled a little bit of a changing of the guard for the senior-laden Silver Creek squad.
“We have 10 seniors,” Foy noted. “We have seven sophomores and one junior. We’re going to go from a very experienced team to a very young team next year.
“I’m really proud of these guys,” Foy continued. “We’re passing better. They’re communicating better. We’re improving and getting ready for the playoffs.”

It was a thrilling sequence in which Chautauqua Lake thought it had forced overtime, but a quick Angel Ezhevarria-to-Antonio Robles up-fi eld pass re-sulted in DeJesus getting a chance to be the hero.

Fredonia closes out the regular season with a non-league contest against cross-town rival Dunkirk.
Portville 50, Falconer 34There was nothing wrong with Falconer’s offense on Friday night in its Class C South battle with Portville, but the defense was unable to stop the Panthers as the Golden Falcons came up on the wrong end of a 50-34 score.
It’s a common theme for Falconer this season as they lost a 39-38 decision to Gowanda last week.
The difference maker in this shootout was a Falconer turnover in the fourth quarter. Following a Portville score that put the Panthers up 43-34, Falconer fumbled the ensu-ing kickoff. Moments later Portville was celebrating in the end zone again with a 50-34 lead.
The Golden Falcons had no trouble moving the ball on the ground as the team motored for a total of 420 yards. Cody Dustin led the
charge as he has all season with 244 yards and a pair of touchdowns. But junior DaShawn Jackson was a force as well with 124 yards and another pair of scores.
Falconer makes the short trip to Southwestern for a regular season-concluding contest with the Trojans on Friday night.
claSS dRandolph 49, Cassada-ga Valley 14Cassadaga Valley fell victim to the powerhouse that is the Randolph Cardinals as the Cougars became the 16th straight team to lose to the Class D leader, 49-14.
Randolph’s Chris Doubek needed only 13 carries to pick up 304 yards and four touchdowns on offense. He rushed for 183 yards and three touchdowns in the fi rst quarter alone as the Cardinals’ two-year winning streak was never really in jeopardy in Sin-clairville. Doubek added 11 tackles on the defensive side of the ball.
While beating the state’s
No. 1 ranked team seemed like a tall task, the Cougars did receive some nice ef-forts. Quarterback An-thony Miller tossed touch-downs of 15 and 4 yards to receiver Jordan Crabtree and Kyle Ruge was 2-for-2 in kicking the extra points following those scores.
Maple Grove-Chautau-qua Lake 14, Ellicott-ville-West Valley 6
A stout defense and a time-ly third-quarter touchdown were the keys to victory for Maple Grove-Chautauqua Lake as the Thunder Drag-ons were able to go on the road and win their Class D battle with Ellicottville-West Valley, 14-6.
Ryan Miller provided a spark in the second quarter when he raced through the E-WV defense for a
44-yard touchdown. Riley Beaton booted the extra point to give the Thunder Dragons a 7-0 lead.
MG-CL looked like it was going to take a commanding lead into the locker room at halftime when it was driving deep in the opponent’s terri-tory, but Beaton’s fi eld goal attempt was blocked and taken back 95 yards to the house. The two-point con-version attempt was foiled, but the Thunder Dragons lead was cut to 7-6 instead of growing to 10-0.
The fi nal scoring play of the game occurred in the third quarter when quarterback A.J. Hulton took the ball in from 6 yards out. Beaton added another extra point and the defense did the rest.
claSS ddFrewsburg 33, Clymer 14Kevin Rogers rushed for 209 yards and three touchdowns as Frewsburg dispatched of Class DD foe Clymer, 33-14.
Rogers had help from Jor-dan Ingerson, who picked up 32 yards and a pair of
touchdowns on 11 carries.
The Bears defense allowed a couple big plays — a 57-yard pass from Jake Wig-gers to Dylan Neckers and a 35-yard touchdown run by Matt DeStevens — but more than made up for that with four interceptions.
Wiggers fi nished with 134 yards on 6-of-22 passing.
Panama 12,Franklinville 6Panama didn’t allow Franklinville much room to run and the Panthers were able to make a third-quar-ter touchdown stand up in a 12-6 win over Class DD foe Franklinville.
Kyle Saxton got things started with a 57-yard scam-per in the fi rst quarter, but Franklinville answered back in the second on a 3-yard run by Jamie Greiner.
Saxton tallied 148 yards on 19 carries.
The tie was snapped in the third when Panama quar-terback Bryce Payne hooked up with David O’Dell on a 14-yard scoring strike.

CHAUTAUQUA STARFRIDAY, OCTOBER 18, 2013 5
By John WawrowAP Sports Writer
Matt Flynn is getting his latest chance at a fresh start, this time in Buffalo on a team that has spent the past week scrambling to shore up its injury-depleted quarterback position.
A week after being cut by Oakland, Flynn signed with the Bills on Monday after spending the morn-ing working out for general manager Doug Whaley, coach Doug Marrone and his offensive staff. The sixth-year NFL player is now on his third team since December; the Raiders ac-quired him in a trade with Seattle this past offseason.
''I'm happy I'm getting a fresh start,'' Flynn said. ''I'm happy I'm getting this op-portunity with the Bills, and I'm excited about it. And hopefully it works out.''
Flynn's signing marks the latest in a series of quarter-back moves the Bills have made since rookie starter EJ Manuel sprained his right knee in a 37-24 loss to Cleveland on Oct. 3.
In the previous eight days alone, the Bills promoted Thad Lewis from their practice squad to take over as interim starter. They worked out free agents Den-nis Dixon and Pat White before signing Dixon to the practice squad. And Buf-falo failed in a bid to land former Tampa Bay starter Josh Freeman, who instead signed with Minnesota.
Despite Flynn's addition, Marrone intends to stick with Lewis as his starter Sunday, when Buffalo (2-4) travels to play Miami (3-2).
Lewis gets the nod after he made a solid debut
overcoming a sprained right foot and a 14-point deficit by throwing two fourth-quarter touchdowns in a 27-24 overtime loss to Cincinnati on Sunday. Marrone added that Lewis is expected to practice Wednesday after tests con-firmed the injury to his foot is not serious.
Flynn will be initially groomed to serve as Lewis' backup ahead of undrafted rookie Jeff Tuel, who strug-gled filling in for Manuel against Cleveland.
Marrone also provided an encouraging update on Manuel's status, saying the rookie is ''ahead of sched-ule'' and has been cleared
to begin rehabbing as early as Tuesday.
Marrone cautioned it was too early to provide a more detailed timeline for when Manuel might be cleared for practice.
Manuel walked without a limp and acknowledged his knee is feeling better while making a brief visit to the locker room Monday.
Flynn was selected by Green Bay in the seventh round of the 2008 draft out of LSU, and spent his first four seasons as Aaron Rodgers' backup. In 2012, Flynn signed with Seattle in free agency; he eventu-ally lost the starting job to rookie Russell Wilson.
This past offseason, Oak-land gave up two draft picks to acquire Flynn from the Seahawks. The Raiders also reworked Flynn's con-tract in which the quarter-back was guaranteed $6.5 million this season.
Flynn instead struggled in two appearances. He completed 22 of 34 passes for 246 yards with a touch-down and interception.
''Obviously, with the tim-ing and whatever it was, we just weren't right for each other. It just didn't work out,'' he said. ''I needed to play better.''
Flynn said he's unaffected by what's happened.
''Obviously, you've got to learn from what you didn't do so well and try not to make the same mistakes twice,'' he said. ''Leaving Green Bay, I was extremely confident. And I don't think that's shaken any.''
Overall, Flynn has com-pleted 109 of 175 attempts for 1,329 yards, with 10 touchdowns and six inter-ceptions in 39 career games, including three starts.
NOTES: WR Stevie John-son said he's hopeful he could return to play against Miami after missing Sunday's game with a back injury. Johnson said he initially hurt his back in a 23-20 win over Baltimore two weeks ago, and aggravated the injury against Cleveland. ... Marrone hinted LG Doug Legursky has the edge on incumbent Colin Brown for the starting job. Legursky had more playing time than Brown against Cincinnati. ... To free up a roster spot to sign Flynn, the Bills placed defensive back Jonathan Meeks (sprained right ankle) on the injured reserve/designated to return list. That means Meeks has the chance to be activated in eight weeks.

national sportsFlynn Enters Bills’ Quarterback picture
''It's good to finally get a win,'' a relieved Miller said. ''Gives us a chance to feel good for a while, and hope-fully we can build.''
Marcus Foligno scored the tying goal with 2:01 left in regulation, and Miller stopped John Tavares in the final round in the shoo-tout to give the Sabres the long-anticipated victory.
''You build and keep work-ing hard. Tonight it paid off,'' Foligno said. ''Hope-fully this can change our confidence.''
The Sabres (1-6-1), beaten 2-1 by Minnesota at home Monday, had never lost more than their first seven games. Buffalo started 0-5-2 in 1999 and 0-4-3 in 1990.
''I thought we outplayed them late in the game,'' Foligno said. ''This feeling is awesome. We just want to continue it.''
Buffalo played for the third time in four days and got something to show for it. Now the Sabres return home for three straight games.
They even overcame the loss of center Zemgus Girgensons, who skated off in the first period after be-ing bloodied when he was struck in the face by a shot by teammate Tyler Myers.
''You have to start some-where, and it's important that we started now,'' Miller said.
Thomas Vanek and Tyler Ennis also scored in the shootout. Miller allowed a
goal to Matt Moulson in the first round, but then denied Frans Nielsen and Tavares.
Buffalo erased three one-goal deficits to end its slide. The last came after Myers kept the puck in the New York zone and got it to Foligno for a screened shot past Evgeni Nabokov.
Moulson had deflected in Tavares' shot during a power play with 11:16 re-maining to put the Island-ers ahead 3-2.
Nielsen and Matt Martin also scored for the Islanders (2-2-2), who dropped two on the road before return-ing home. Nabokov made 31 saves through over-time for New York, which recorded a season-high 44 shots.
The Islanders took a pair of one-goal leads - one in each of the first two periods - but Ennis and Vanek both scored in the second to get Buffalo into a 2-2 tie.
''It is a tough way to lose,''
Martin said. ''We had a lot of opportunities to put them away early but we didn't do it.''
Nielsen made it 1-0 in the first when he stopped hard in the left circle and snapped a drive past Miller with 6:49 remaining for his third goal.
The first period has proved troublesome for the Sabres all season as they have been outscored 10-1 in the frame and outshot 118-67. New York had a 16-11 edge in shots in the first and out-shot Buffalo 32-24 through 40 minutes.
The Islanders hadn't re-corded more than 30 shots in their first five games.
''I don't think we let them off,'' Islanders coach Jack Capuano said. ''I thought Ryan Miller made some big saves.
''Tonight was a good game for us. I thought the guys really paid attention to the details the past 48 hours.''
Ennis got Buffalo even at 1 with a fortunate goal 5:24 into the second after a shot by Drew Stafford trickled between Nabokov's pads and landed behind him in the blue paint. Ennis swooped in and slammed the puck in for his first of the season.
But New York needed just 2:44 to go back in front when Martin netted his first. Eric Boulton sent a right-to-left pass in front to Casey Cizikas for a shot that was stopped by Miller and knocked behind the net. Cizikas quickly got to it and flung it into the crease to Martin for a redirect.
The Sabres rallied again to tie it 2-2 with a power-play goal after Tavares was sent off for high-sticking. Cody Hodgson sent a pass from the left circle dot in front to Vanek for a quick redirec-tion past Nabokov. It was the third goal this season for Vanek.
NOTES: Sabres RW Patrick Kaleta received a 10-game sus-pension from the NHL after an in-person hearing for an illegal check to the head of Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Jack Johnson last week. Kaleta had already served two games before Tuesday. ... Islanders RW Colin McDonald sat out because of an injured left hip. He is day to day. ... The only time New York has reached 30 shots this season was in a shootout loss to Columbus on Oct. 5. ... Buffalo was 1 for 4 on the power play after going 2 for 25 before Tuesday. ... The Islanders are 1-2 in shootouts. This was Buffalo's first.

Baldwin Wallace University does not discriminate on the basis of race, creed, age, disability,
national origin, gender or sexual orientation in the administration of any policies or programs.
What should you get out of a college education? Life lessons? Certainly. A broadened world view? Of course. But how about employabil-ity? Shouldn’t a college provide you with the education you need to start a good career, and also give you the skills you need to thrive in that career? One area college does all that–and more.
For over 150 years Bryant & Stratton Col-lege has been helping people throughout Western New York be-come employable. They start out by developing degree programs in in-dustries that are hiring: from healthcare, busi-ness and technology; to
hospitality, design and the legal field. But that’s just the beginning. The way Bryant & Strat-ton College helps their students reach their full potential and achieve career success is what sets them apart from other area colleges.
From their first day on campus, Bryant & Strat-ton College students begin learning the skills and proficiencies they’ll need to effectively perform the technical functions in their de-gree program. But they also develop vital tools to find, maintain and advance their career at any stage in their life: they learn to use Opti-mal Resume, they build
a professional portfo-lio, and they acquire the critically important “soft skills” employers demand today. These include the fundamen-tals: writing proficiency, mathematics, listening and speaking compe-tencies; as well as the skills you’ll need to be a valuable employee, like problem-solving, decision-making, idea-generating and others.
In addition to teaching these important skills, Bryant & Stratton Col-lege also helps students develop the personal qualities that are essen-tial for both academic and career success, like integrity, responsibility and self-esteem.
It’s this total pack-age — a well-rounded education with a strong career focus — that helps differentiate Bry-ant & Stratton College from other colleges, and more importantly, can help you start the career you want, and advance in that career over time.
For more information, come to Bryant & Strat-ton College’s Fall Open House Tuesday, Oct. 22 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. or Saturday, Oct. 26 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at all three campuses. Or call the campus nearest you: Amherst: 716-625-6300; Buffalo: 716-884-9120; Orchard Park: 716-677-9500.

Brain power: Baldwin wallaCe neuroSCienCe program reCognized internationally
Jamestown Community College began offering a new credit certificate program in industrial equipment technology this fall.
According to Michael Weaver, JCC’s director of engineering science and technology, the interdisciplinary cer-tificate program helps support the needs of lo-cal industries for trained personnel.
“Employer need for this program was deter-mined through a survey of manufacturers and facilities in Chautau-qua, Cattaraugus, and Warren counties, and evaluation of previous non-credit offerings,” Weaver said.
“The certificate pre-pares students with the necessary interdisci-plinary background to troubleshoot, repair, and maintain electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, and pneumatic equip-ment used in a manu-facturing or facilities environment,” Weaver said. “Students who complete the program successfully will be well
qualified for entry-level positions in industrial maintenance and manu-facturing jobs.
“Job titles may include industrial electrician, industrial machinery mechanic, installation technician, industrial technician, and building maintenance mechan-ic,” Weaver added. “The certificate will also al-low personnel presently employed by industry to obtain a credential showing basic compe-tence in the skills neces-sary for advancement.”
The program core includes basic founda-tions of automation sys-tems used in advanced manufacturing and facilities maintenance. Courses emphasize the fundamentals of AC/DC electricity, program-mable logic controllers, electric motors and controls, hydraulics and pneumatics, manual and CNC machining, and welding.
Courses in machine theory, electricity, and welding provide an introduction to specific areas that are important
for overall understand-ing of the industrial equipment field. In addi-tion, students will devel-op skills in mathematics and writing appropriate to this type of work.
“Graduates of this pro-gram will have devel-oped skills necessary to either gain employ-ment or enhance career opportunities,” noted Jean Schrader, assistant dean of JCC’s science, technology, engineering, and mathematics divi-sion. “After receiving the certificate, students may
choose to continue their education by completing additional coursework toward an associate’s degree. This certificate will ladder partially into the A.A.S. mechanical technology degree and fully into the A.A.S. indi-vidual studies degree.”
Information on the certificate, as well as courses that can be taken during the sum-mer as part of the pro-gram, can be obtained by contacting Weaver at 716.338.1328.

Baldwin Wallace University does not discriminate on the basis of race, creed, age, disability,
national origin, gender or sexual orientation in the administration of any policies or programs.
The international Society for Neuroscience (SfN) has named Baldwin Wallace University’s neuroscience program its Under-graduate Program-of-the-Year, recognizing BW’s multidisci-plinary program as an innova-tive role model of “excellence in educating neuroscientists.
“BW’s program has risen to a place of international distinction through the hard work of many people across campus, especially emeritus professor and founding neuroscience chair, Dr. Andrew Mickley,” said BW president Robert C. Helmer. "We’re also
pleased that the success of the students enrolled in our program offers continual evidence of BW’s highly effective approach.”
“What really seemed to impress the selection committee was the 3-step peer mentoring program that engages everyone who's involved in neuroscience at BW,” said Mickley “It provides a very special bond between groups of students working in faculty labs, as well as bonds between students and faculty. These are career-long relationships that last well beyond BW graduation.”
All neuroscience undergradu-ates at BW benefit from research opportunities right from the start, and often publish papers, present at international scientific confer-ences and win federally funded internships at leading universities. Those who have applied to gradu-ate programs or medical school have enjoyed a remarkable 95 percent overall acceptance rate.
The BW neuroscience program began as a minor in 1995 with a major first offered in 2000. The cur-riculum, which blends psychology, biology and chemistry courses, is research-intensive and all students are required to produce an empiri-cally based senior thesis.
“Neuroscience is advancing our understanding of the human brain and human health” says Dr. Jacqueline Morris, director of BW’s neuroscience program. “The growth in the discipline provides a variety of professional and educational opportunities for Neuroscience graduates. We’re pleased that SfN selected BW for this honor and recognized the program's innovative approaches to neuroscience education and research.”

With college costs sky-rocketing, more college students are waking to the realization that they are trapped under mas-sive debts. It doesn’t have to be this way, say experts.
The numbers are stag-gering, as 65 percent of student loan borrowers misunderstand or are surprised by aspects of their student loans, ac-cording to studies. And student loans account for the most common form of increasing debt among ages 18-24, with
60 percent of students graduating with an average of $24,572.45 in student loan debt.
Students are not being taught enough finan-cial responsibility, say experts at Lexington Law, a leading provider of con-sumer credit correction services. Only four states require a class in financial education. As such, many educators are urging greater financial educa-tion requirements.
In the meantime, there are things students can do to avoid getting bur-ied under debt. A recent survey revealed that one in three graduates
would have pursued one of the following, if they could do it all again:
• Scholarships
• Financial aid
• Started saving earlier
• Pursued higher paying majors
• Worked while in col-lege

From going to school to going on a date to getting married, life has hidden price tags that have been sending many Americans down a path to major debt and bankruptcy.
Some of life’s most ex-citing events also bring with them the possibility to build major debts and harm our credit, finan-cial experts are warning.
To help, the experts at Lexington Law, a pro-vider of consumer credit correction services, are pointing out the finan-cial traps in everyday life that easily ensnare the average American family.
Here are just a few fi-nancial pitfalls they are highlighting:
• Getting a credit card is exciting, but the average credit card debt is $7,093.
• The average date costs $130.
• In 2012, the average engagement ring cost $9,431, and the typical wedding weighed-in at $28,400.
• Mortgage debt cur-rently is averaging $148,818 and the typical car loan is $26,700.
• 35-44 year-olds have
the highest bankruptcy rate

One of the big challenges col-lege students face is adjusting to a rigorous academic lifestyle. But an even bigger trial than cramming for exams is learning to survive on one’s own.
From knowing how to whip up din-ner to doing one’s laundry, learning basic life skills marks the transfor-mation of kid-at-home to young adult-in-the-world. The experts at Sun Products, the makers of Wisk PowerBlasts, offer these tips to col-lege students:
Food and nutritionThe notorious “freshman 15” is no myth. Young adults who suddenly have free reign over their diets are not always inclined to make health-
ful decisions. From late night study sessions turned pizza parties, to all-you-can-eat buffets common to campus meal plans, avoid letting these nutritional pitfalls get the bet-ter of you.
You can improve your nutrition by prepping your own food sometimes. Even if you only have a microwave in your dorm, try whipping up oat-meal for breakfast and tacos topped with tomatoes and heated beans for dinner.
If you’re blessed with a full kitchen, you can be much more versatile. Pick easy recipes and follow them closely until you understand the principles of simple cooking. Once you’re comfortable with the basics, get creative with seasonings and ingredients.

Trying to avoid the dreaded "Freshman 15" weight gain? While college is an adjust-ment, it doesn't have to mean an adjustment in your pants size.
In fact, the Freshman 15 is a myth. Freshman students gain only 2.5 to 3.5 pounds on average during their first year in college, according to a recent study published in So-cial Science Quarterly. But be advised, the same study finds that college students do gain moderate but steady weight during and after college.
So stay vigilant about diet and exercise.
Be prepared"Stress, anxiety and home-sickness can all lead to over-eating.” warns registered dietitian nutritionist, Kristi King, spokesperson with the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
Before you snack, ask your-self why you’re doing so. If stress, anxiety or sadness is a factor, take a study break to chat with friends or go on a walk.
Smart SnacksLate nights and stress can lead to bingeing, so don’t keep junk food on hand.
Instead, stock healthy snacks that combine protein and carbohydrates.
don’t Skip Breakfast"Breakfast wakes up the metabolism and provides energy to the brain and muscles for the day's activi-ties," says King. "People who eat breakfast tend to eat less throughout the day."
King recommends that break-fast be quick and combine carbohydrates and some
protein to help keep students feeling full. Good options include whole-grain toast with peanut butter, a low-fat granola bar and fruit, or a whole-wheat tortilla with hummus and an apple.
Cafeteria 101The dining hall can be a friend or foe. There may be high-calorie foods and oversized portions, but most universities provide nutri-tious options too. Opt for foods that are baked, broiled,
steamed, grilled or roasted, while steering clear of foods that are buttered, fried or swimming in cream sauce.
When filling your plate at the cafeteria, consider following the US Department of Agri-culture’s MyPlate guidelines.
alcohol"Alcohol is readily available and can pack on the pounds quickly if you’re not careful," warns King.
For students over 21, King recommends light beer and avoiding drinks mixed with regular soft drinks or sug-ary juices. When drinking, alternate a glass of water be-tween alcoholic beverages. You'll consume less alcohol and fewer calories.
exerciseRegular exercise pays dividends, helping control weight, improve one’s mood and control stress.
Many universities have excel-lent fitness centers available for students, but you don't have to become a gym rat to stay fit. Instead of taking the bus or driving to class, walk or ride your bike.
get HelpIf you'd like help creating a healthy meal plan, or want tips for controlling weight, check to see if your universi-ty offers nutrition counseling services. Registered dietitian nutritionists are food and nutrition experts, and they can help you ace your health goals.
More tips to maintain a healthy weight your fresh-man year and beyond can be found at www.eatright.org.
Going to college means adjusting to a new lifestyle. Don’t let the changes get the better of your health and wellness.

The majority of American families have an unwavering belief in the value of college -- 85 percent of parents be-lieve that college is an invest-ment in their child’s future, according to a new national study by Sallie Mae.
With tuition costs on the rise, families are finding resource-ful ways to help ease col-lege costs, from eliminating schools based on price, to forgoing the costly dormitory experience. According to the same study, the use of grants and scholarships are on the rise, and more parents are turning to such tools as 529 college savings plans to fund their children’s education.
While parents are becoming more realistic about fund-ing college, experts say that advanced planning is still not the norm.
“The majority of families do not have a financial plan to pay for college. Having one however, increases the likeli-hood of success, says Jack Remondi, president and CEO of Sallie Mae.
To learn more about how Americans are paying for col-lege, visit www.CollegeAn-swer.com/Pays2013.
In this post-recession environment, the dream of college is not dead. But find-ing new ways to fund it is becoming more important.

From brushing up on interview skills to hon-ing the perfect essay, the college admissions process seems to be-come more complicated every year.
While students in the past may have prepared for one standardized admissions test, now some experts now advise taking both the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and the American College Test (ACT).
“The ACT may have once played second fiddle to the SAT. But the test is gaining momentum and popularity with college admissions officers,” says Chris Arp, a tutor at Veritas Tutors and Test Prep and author of “Up Your Score ACT,” a new test-prep study guide.
While the SAT was designed to judge a stu-dent’s ability to reason, the ACT was designed to determine a student’s knowledge of the basic high school curriculum.
Arp, who wrote “Up Your Score ACT” in conjunction with three students with perfect ACT scores, offers these tips to test-takers:
• Take a practice test of both the SAT and the
ACT, timed, in a setting that allows you to con-centrate for three-plus hours. If you score much higher on one, then take that test. If the scores are similar, Arp says to consider this: “Which test made you want to pull out a smaller per-centage of your hair?”
• Make a manageable schedule, breaking preparation into chunks.

STEM Hall, the latest addition to the campus of Grove City College, is a $39.5 million, state-of-the-art showplace where students can prepare for the careers of the future and faculty can conduct cutting-edge research.
The new building takes its name from the acronym that’s become a buzzword in both academia and business. The disciplines STEM encompasses -- science, technology, engineer-ing, and mathematics – are seen by many as critical to ensuring a prosperous and secure future for those who take up their study and for society at large.
A decades-long decline in American students’ proficiency in STEM fields has reached a critical point. The days when the U.S. was at or near the top in science and math are gone. Business and industry often can’t find the do-mestic talent they need to stay competitive and
innovative in a technol-ogy-dependent world.
Grove City College has always maintained strong science and engineering programs, with about a third of the College’s 2,500 students enrolled in the Hope-man School of Science, Engineering and Math-ematics, which boasts 50 full-time faculty members.
STEM Hall provides those students and pro-fessors a place where they can learn and teach in a collaborative environment more like a professional research lab than a traditional academic building.
The new building is like nothing else on cam-pus. STEM Hall’s brick and stone facade re-flects the Gothic Revival styles of the buildings that surround it, but its open interior is a stark contrast to those of its campus neighbors. The building, designed by Philadelphia architec-tural firm Ballinger, is
anchored by four, glass-walled laboratories on the second and third levels.
“The concept is ‘science in sight,’” Hopeman Dean Stacy Birmingham says. “It’s intended to let people see what sci-entists do behind closed doors.”
The hope is that by demystifying what goes on in the lab, more students will be encour-aged to explore STEM studies, according to Birmingham.
The 63,000-square-foot building features eight other labs for chemistry, biology and computer science, a lecture hall, a vivarium housing animals used in re-search, faculty offices, state-of-the-art technol-ogy, and an east-facing commons area with floor-to-ceiling Sage-Glass windows that can be tinted automatically or manually. A skylight the length of the main hall lets in more natural light and reinforces the
idea that STEM Hall is something different.
Students will also find more and larger work-spaces than in the Col-lege’s current science buildings, hallway walls that double as dry-erase boards students can use to work out formulas and diagram problems outside of the classroom, ample space for working in groups and innovative technological features like computer worksta-tions where groups of students can plug their College-issued laptops into common monitors to share their ideas and seek input from their peers and professors.
STEM Hall is financed -- like all Grove City Col-lege projects -- entirely by private donations. The College accepts no government money and is not subject to regula-tions that take decision-making away from those who know best the College’s needs.

laundryIn an average wash load, the ratio of body oils and sweat to vis-ible stain is 20-to-1. All that running across campus to avoid tardi-ness won’t help. Col-
lege is messy and your laundry will reflect that. Don’t make en-emies with your room-mate by putting off this necessary task until your next trip home.
If you’ve never done
your own laundry, don’t stress. It may seem like an exact sci-ence, but new products are making it easier to get clothes cleaner with less guesswork. For example, Wisk Deep Clean Power-Blasts from Sun Prod-ucts are a good choice for laundry newbies, as they come in a con-venient, easy-to-use single dose form.
One dose, which you add to the drum of the machine before piling the laundry on top, contains the right amount of super-concentrated detergent with Micro-Cleaners that attack trapped body oil and sweat that some other detergents can leave behind.
When in doubt about the care of your clothes, simply read the labels.
More easy laundry tips can be found at www.Wisk.com.
good Credit
Bad credit can follow you for the rest of your days, whereas good credit can help you secure loans with good rates. And good credit is even more important these days, as some employers run credit checks on candidates before making hiring decisions.
Don’t let college be a time to rack up credit card debt you can’t pay off. Before opening an account, thoroughly read the terms of ser-vice to understand how the card works and avoid incurring unnec-essary fees.
Establish a bill pay-ment reminder on your cell phone so you’re never late. Now’s a good time to create a budget that ensures you can pay your bill in full each month.
Remember that in col-lege the skills you learn outside the classroom can be just as impor-tant as the knowledge acquired inside it.

Allegheny College is the premier college in the country for students with “un-usual combinations” of interests, skills and talents.
Over and over again, we hear from leaders in business, govern-ment, medicine and education that the future belongs to individuals who are innovators and big picture thinkers, those
who are able to think both analytically and creatively.
It’s this preparation for the global mar-ketplace— and for life—that Allegheny is nationally known for providing. And as Allegheny prepares to celebrate its bicenten-nial in 2015, our repu-tation has never been higher. (U.S. News recently recognized us as an “Up-and-Com-
er” for “innovative changes in the areas of academics, faculty, student life, campus, or facilities.”)
Unusual combinations at Allegheny lead to extraordinary out-comes after Allegh-eny. More than 90% of our graduates who are looking for jobs are hired within eight months, and because of the reputation behind an Allegheny
degree, our students go on to top graduate schools at twice the national average.
Do you think college should be about ex-panding your horizons rather than narrowing your interests? Then come see Allegh-eny for yourself. Tour campus, talk to our students and faculty, and see if Allegheny College is the perfect fit for you.

Recently, Kiplinger’s named Allegheny as one of the top 100 “Best Values” among the nation’s liberal arts colleges.
Recognition in the country’s top college guides and rankings doesn’t happen overnight. Since 1815, the accomplishments of our students have continued to strengthen the value of the Allegheny diploma.
Allegheny students combine their interests and talents to develop skills that employers seek most in today’s global economy — being creative, analytical and innovative.
But remember, the actual test is long, so building endurance is crucial. Ramp up your practice sessions until you can take the whole test in one sit-ting.
• Practice makes perfect. Take several practice tests at home and learn from both your successes and mistakes. Remember, you can take the ACT up to 12 times if you need to. And un-
like the SAT, you can choose which scores are sent to colleges.
• “When it comes to math, don’t sell your-self short,” says Arp. “Saying you don’t understand math is a cop-out. If you can’t solve a math prob-lem, it’s because you have either forgotten or never learned the concepts involved.”
• On the reading sec-tion of college en-
trance exams, check your outside knowl-edge at the door. You are being tested on what a passage says, not on what you al-ready know.
• Picking your battles can help you make the most of your limited time. For example, in the case of the ACT’s Science Reasoning Test, glancing at a passage before you dive into it can help you decide whether
you want to spend time on it now or later.
• To avoid post-test stress, don’t discuss the answers with your friends. Instead, take a few days to relax and have fun.
Both the SAT and ACT are accepted by every college in America. So if you’re stressed out by the SAT, do yourself a favor and consider taking a dif-ferent route.

With 5,400 students on a beautiful, 250-acre residential campus, students tell us SUNY Fredonia is the per-fect mix of size and program variety. With affordable tuition and housing, Fredonia chal-lenges you and is com-mitted to developing your character as you prepare for a reward-ing career.
Fredonia offers you a classic, complete col-legiate experience – a “destination college” in a creative, diverse, wel-coming and safe envi-ronment. You become uniquely connected to classmates, professors and the community, with an abundance of extracurricular options
to keep your evenings and weekends as stimulating as your daily studies.
Fredonia professors are passionate about teaching. Whether they’re in the class-room, on the stage, or in the field, our fac-ulty help you succeed. They’re also involved in research and cre-ative activities — and eager to have you col-laborate. Small class sizes are also a Fredo-nia hallmark: 80% have fewer than 30 students.
Academic excellence relies on diversity – of backgrounds, perspec-tives, and ideas – and at Fredonia, you join a multicultural campus
that lets you meet, learn from, and live with people from many backgrounds. You’re challenged to think globally, and you can study abroad in a wide range of countries, learning about interna-tional issues first-hand.
Fredonia’s focus on continuous improve-ment is more evident than ever, as construc-tion continues on a new, state-of-the-art Science Center set to open in 2014. The campus also features a new fitness center and a renovated student union.
Ultimately, Fredonia is committed to help-ing you reach your goal: graduation. From
knowledgeable advisors and affordable tuition to our “Fredonia in 4” four-year guarantee, we stand ready to make sure you can meet your goals — and manage your finances. More than 80% of students re-ceive financial aid, and over $3 million in merit- and need-based schol-arships are available to academically qualified, new and returning stu-dents each year.
To see the successes some our recent gradu-ates are enjoying, visit www.fredonia.edu/success. Better yet, call 673-3251 and connect with an admissions counselor who can help you find your call-ing too.

Among those not sav-ing, 47 percent cite bar-riers other than money. Top reasons included thinking children would be awarded enough financial aid to cover college costs, uncer-
tainty about which sav-ings option to use, and other concerns.
Slightly more than one quarter of parents who are saving for college use a 529 college sav-
ings plan, a tax-advan-taged program created to help families save for education expenses. However, more parents save for college using general funds or CDs, and therefore may miss
out on tax incentives of-fered by 529 accounts.

Through J-Term (Janu-ary 6-17, 2014) and Summer Sessions (May 19-August 1, 2014), undergraduate and graduate students are offered traditional class-room instruction, online learning, and study abroad experiences.
Through its Fredonia Academy, Lifelong Learning offers many noncredit learning opportunities. SUNY Fredonia traces its roots to Fredonia Academy, which officially opened in 1826. To honor the col-lege’s beginnings, Life-long Learning launched a 21st century Academy. Here, faculty and staff share their knowledge
and expertise with the college and surrounding communities – much like the Academy’s faculty did so long ago.
The Lifelong Learn-
ing Credit Program is designed for those who would like to begin (or re-start) their college studies on a part-time basis. This program enables indi-viduals to apply to SUNY
Fredonia and enroll in regular undergradu-ate courses for credit. Although the application process is greatly simpli-fied, Lifelong Learning students are held to the same academic stan-dards as their matricu-lated colleagues – and experience the same high quality education.
For community members who would like to partake in a college course but do not wish to earn college credit, course auditing is an option. By applying for course audit privileg-es, individuals can gain the knowledge imparted in many of the college’s regularly scheduled courses.
For more information about these programs, please visit www.fredonia.edu/lifelong or phone Lifelong Learning at 716.673.3177.
