“This new space is amazing!” said
Shane Hawkins, Infinity’s executive
director. “We were running out of
space where we were and this gives
us new flexibility and room to grow.”
Hawkins commitment to the local
community began with her own
graduation from Jamestown High
School, Jamestown Community
College and SUNY Fredonia.
Infinity will celebrate its Sweet
16 Birthday Party on November
21 with a special Arts Café public
event in its beautiful new home,
the Jamestown Post Office, now
renamed the Lynn Building, at 300
E 3rd Street. The building boasts
84,000 sq. ft. of floor space on three
floors. The lower level, with its
student entrance on Second Street,
is now divided between Infinity
and The Chautauqua Striders.
Neighbors Sharing a Mission
“Our original mission – helping
young musicians develop their
creativity and performance skills
under local, professional musicians
and educators – is a perfect match
with our new neighbors, The
Striders,” said Adam Owens,
Infinity’s site director. “Students
can just cross the hall now, from
one secure site to the other, if
they want to be involved in both
activities, and we’re only a 2
minute walk down the block from
Jamestown High School. Parents
can feel good about that.”

Class. He approached his goals with hard work
and determination, paving the way for his
continued success today.
“I am one of the luckiest people alive,” a warm
voice exclaims, full of zeal and gratitude. After his
recent victory, Sheriff Joseph Gerace certainly
remembers to count his lucky stars, excited for
the start to a new term, and just as dedicated
as ever. Yet, behind the title and responsibility,
Gerace is a kind and generous family man,
always willing to help and completely centered
around his family. “I am blessed.” He says with
a smile.
However, Gerace wasn’t fixated on law
enforcement alone. “I had a love of photography,”
he confesses. During his college years, he and
his brother started a photography business
together. “I was actually an art major in high
school.” He explains. This artistic expression
also lent itself to his career path, allowing for his
16 year involvement with photography in crime
scene investigation.
Gerace first became interested in law
enforcement in his youth. “I caught the bug
in high school,” he laughs. “What first got my
attention was listening to the police scanner.”
Throughout the years, he pursued his dreams,
earning an Associate’s degree in Criminal
Justice from Jamestown Community College,
a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science from
Mercyhurst College, and finally, a Master’s
Degree in Administration from Alfred State
Sheriff Joseph Gerace
University. He also attended the National
Sheriff ’s Academy, becoming President of his
In his “spare” time, Sheriff Gerace teaches at
Jamestown Community College and Fredonia
State. Gerace has been teaching at JCC since
1987. “It’s an opportunity to stay current on
law enforcement,” he says. An added benefit is
the opportunity to find recruits for the Sheriff ’s
Academy. “I get to see some of the brightest
people, and I try to encourage them.” Gerace
also coaches several sports teams in the area,
with a keen interest in ice hockey. With all of

Carpe diem
“Carpe diem” is an old Latin expression
adopted into the common English of today
and usually taken to mean “Seize the day!”
It has descended to us down through the
ages from ancient Rome of 2000 years ago.
I often hear it when people nudge themselves
to get going, grab an opportunity and make
the most of their day.
So I looked it up to see if that’s what it
really meant, back in the day. I liked what I
found. The best translations are said to be
“enjoy the day” or “enjoy the moment,” or
my favorite, “pluck the day, as it is ripe!”
But busy, busy, busy usually gets in the way,
doesn’t it? My day, and probably yours, is
usually ripe with the fruit of a very crowded
“To do” list. I usually pluck the low hanging
fruit, the easy stuff, and get it out of the way
first. Then I try to climb up for the higher
fruit, for the harder tasks, sometimes the
ones I really don’t want to do, the ones I’ve
put off ‘till tomorrow… day after day.
So here’s what I’ve learned. Sometimes it’s
best to sit on that branch for a while and
watch the scenery, feel the breeze and look
at the sky for just a few minutes before I
reach out to pluck that higher fruit, before
start that harder thing.
That’s where music comes in, I’ve observed.
Notice how many people – sitting at their
computers or stocking shelves or rewiring
the motor in your old clunker of a car –
have music playing in their offices or keep
ear buds and head phones stuck to their
(716) 484-6935
[email protected]
heads while they work. Music is a break
you can take to relax between jobs or even
during your work.
Remember those seven sleepy or sneezy
(can you name all seven?) dwarves…

DOWN TO EARTH with JOANNE TANNER
A Clever use for Pumpkins
out with smaller plants packing them
tight so no moss shows between
plants.
5.Once you arrive at something you
like, trim the excess moss.
Contributing Writer
Joanne Tanner
Master Gardener
If you haven’t thrown out those
Halloween pumpkins yet, and they
are not buried under our first snowfall,
here is a clever idea for Thanksgiving
Decorating- Use those pumpkins as
plant containers or live centerpieces.
First, there are a couple things you
need to do to help extend the life of
your pumpkin. Rub the outside of
the pumpkin with petroleum jelly or
vegetable oil, this keeps it from rotting
so quickly. I have seen these pumpkin
centerpieces planted with a variety of
succulents such as Hens & Chicks as well
as ivy or houseplants. Either way, planted
inside or on top of the pumpkin, it’s a fun
and easy project to do. In addition to the
standard orange color, pumpkins come
in green, white, yellow or striped.
Steps to a Succulent topped pumpkin
Materials needed: Pumpkin, spray
adhesive, sphagnum moss, glue gun,
succulent cuttings and clippers.
1. Cut off the stem
2. Spray the top of the pumpkin with the
spray adhesive
3.Stick the dry moss to the adhesive
creating a ½ inch mat on top of the
pumpkin.
4.
Begin by adding your tallest
succulents to the moss. Start on the
top, just slightly off-center. Cut any
long roots off the plants then use the
hot glue gun to stick your plants in
place. The hot glue won’t really hurt
the plants and it will hold them in
place while they root into the moss.
Start in the center working your way

November 17, 2014
One of the benefits of doing a succulent
pumpkin planter like this is that you
aren’t actually cutting the pumpkin,
you’re planting on top of it. This
means that with the right care your
arrangement can last for months. Spray
the succulents with water a couple times
a week, but don’t allow water to pool in
the top. Since it will be kept inside, give
it as much light as possible to prevent
the plants fading and stretching. If it is
on a dining room table or someplace
without much light make sure your
move the pumpkin into bright indirect
light for several hours each week to
keep the arrangement tight and healthy.
When the pumpkin does begin to rot
you can simply cut off the top and plant
the entire thing into another container.
The cooler the location it is kept in the
house, the better for the pumpkin to last.
Do not place in direct sunlight.

weather conditions develop that warrant
the closing of Jamestown Public Schools,
announcements will be broadcast on area
radio and television stations, on the JPS
Facebook Page (https://www.facebook.com/
JamestownPublicSchools), and JPS Twitter
(@JamestownSchool).
The district will also utilize the automated
telephone calling system. Parents and students
can expect to receive telephone messages on
delayed openings or school closings, as long
as their telephone contact information is upto-date in the district’s system. Please contact
the main office at your child’s school to update
information.
There will be no interscholastic athletic sports
practice or after school programming on snow
days. If a parent or guardian feels that weather
conditions in their immediate area of the
school district warrants keeping small children
at home, New York State considers this to be
a legal excuse for an absence. Please keep in
mind that the school closing decision must be
based on overall district-wide conditions.
Planting inside a pumpkin for
decoration- this container will be shorter
lived.
If the circumstances require a delayed opening
the following rules will apply:
Materials: Pumpkin, sphagnum moss,
possibly some soil and plants
• Breakfast will not be served.
1.Gut pumpkin flesh and seeds to
create a vessel for plants.
• Full day pre-K classes at Bush (including
the Head Start class), Fletcher, Ring,
Love, YWCA, A Children’s Place, YMCA
Heritage House, Head Start Holy Family,
2. I recommend finding a container that
will fit into your gutted pumpkin.
First spray lemon juice all around
the inside flesh to deter rotting,
then, place the container inside the
pumpkin. Either fill the container
with soil and plant directly into soil
or place several small potted house
plants still in their containers, into
the vessel. Surround the containers
and plants with the sphagnum moss.

If you can get past the ever growing
aisles of Christmas decorations and
listen through the carols that have
already snuck into our radios, you can
see Thanksgiving is all around us. School
children are creating construction paper
buckle hats and feather headdresses,
moms are posting “thanksgiving
challenges” on their newsfeeds, and
turkeys everywhere are running for
cover. It’s a wonderful time of year as
we get to witness again and again our
collective heart turn toward gratitude
for all that we have.
But the cynical side of me always has
one question when bubbly instagrams
of warm fires and mocha-pumpkinpeppermint cream lattes are posted with
the hashtags like #gratitude. I always
wonder: So What?
So our lives are so blessed that fires are
for novelty (not survival) and coffees
that cost $4 are the norm, so what? So
we’ve been blessed with cupboards full
of food and families full of joy; What
difference does it make?
I guess my big problem is that
sometimes we treat giving thanks like
it’s the end, and that just doesn’t mesh
with my theology. You see, the Biblical
witness of gratitude never ends with
thanksgiving. Thanksgiving, rather, is
o
Sm kes
SENECA
HERBAL BLACK
SALVE
“As God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved,
clothe yourselves with compassion,
kindness, humility, meekness, and
patience. Bear one another and…
forgive each other; just as the Lord has
forgiven you, so you also must forgive.
Above all, clothe yourselves with love
which binds everything together in
perfect harmony. And let the peace of
Christ rule in your hearts, to which
indeed you were called in the one body.
And be thankful.” (Colossians 3:12-15)
We are God’s chosen ones. God chose
us. God chooses you. So like the text
ends: be thankful! But life as one of
God’s holy and beloved children isn’t as
simple as just being thankful. It calls for
a response. Since God chose us we have
to live with compassion and kindness.
We are not permitted to simply be
thankful for the forgiveness we’ve
received from Jesus, we are obligated to
forgive others as well. Here’s the pattern
of our lives: God acts. We thank. We
respond. Thanksgiving isn’t the end,
what we do with our thankful heart is.
So as thanksgiving approaches, don’t
simply post a picture of your gas gauge
#tankful, but share some gas with
someone in need. Don’t just say grace
at your table, but grace another person’s
table with God’s bounty. Don’t just be
grateful, but live graciously. Because
God has made us, chosen us, forgiven
us and blessed us, and because of what
God has done, we will boldly respond.

Donates to Lily’s Hope
Article Contributed by
Zonta Club
The evening of November 12th was clear and
chilly. At Friendly’s in Brooklyn Square in
downtown Jamestown, the dinnertime rush
was on! This was also the night the Breast
Cancer Support Group was gathered for their
regular Wednesday meeting. What was about
to happen at this regular meeting however, was
far removed from the coolness of the coming
winter outside. It was warm and loving.
Attending this meeting were representatives
from the Zonta Club of Jamestown: The
Zonta Club President, Bonnie DeJoy, and
members Ellen Munella, BettyLou Blixt and
Rosie Papalia. The Breast Cancer Support
Group surprised Zonta with a $1,000 check
earmarked for “Lily’s Hope.”
“Through Lily’s Hope, Zonta Club of
Jamestown has been fortunate to be able to
bring comfort to local women going through
the trauma of cancer treatment. Support from
individuals and groups such as the Breast
Cancer Support group enables us to continue
this program. We are now able to expand our
efforts to new areas, and are most grateful for
all who help us,” said Ellen Munella as she
received the check.
All items at “Lily’s Hope” are provided
through donation, or purchased by the
club with raised and donated funds. “Lily’s
Hope” is a room donated by WCA Hospital
at the Jones Memorial Health Center and is
maintained through a partnership with WCA
and Zonta members. Women may seek these
accessories and services on appointment by
calling the WCA Cancer Treatment Center at
664-8670.
The Zonta Club of Jamestown is one of 1200
chapters of Zonta International. Zonta is
a service organization with the mission of
advancing the status of women locally and
worldwide. For more information about

Looking back over his years as Sheriff, he
certainly has accomplished a lot. “I have a
lot of things I am proud of, especially the
Children’s Safety Village,” he explains. “It
is really cool - you’ve got to go there!” The
Safety Village is a miniature village, complete
with shops and restaurants, geared to teach
youngsters about issues like fire safety, calling
911, bike safety, and more. Located near
BOCES, the village took around 15 years just
to get to ground breaking. “We did a lot of
work raising funds locally,” Gerace says. “It’s
just amazing.”
Gerace has big plans for the future as he ends
his 20th year as Sheriff. In 2015, he looks
forward to bringing about EMT training
for his Sheriffs, integrating that training
into the Sheriff ’s academy, and bringing in a
countywide radio system, allowing police,
firefighters and emergency personnel the
ability to communicate with ease. “That’s
going to be a huge plus,” he says. He looks
forward to serving the community through his
office, keeping the community safe through a
variety of avenues. Sheriff Gerace is honored
to serve his community each and every day,
striving to keep Chautauqua County citizens
safe. “Words cannot describe how it feels that
people put their trust in me,” he says. “I take
what I do very seriously.”

Youth Symphony
Launches Annual
Fund Drive
Article Contributed by
Chautauqua Regional Youth Symphony
The Chautauqua Regional Youth
Symphony (CRYS) has launched its
annual fund drive for the 2014-2015
season.
“We are excited about the wonderful
opportunities that CRYS offers to talented
and motivated young musicians and for
what we offer to the community,” said
board president Tanya Anderson.
Anderson pointed out that CRYS students
give performances, several of which are
free, that enrich the community, and that
the students are enriched as well. “We
know that whether music becomes their
profession or their pastime, our students’
participation in a demanding performance
group will have a long-term positive
impact on their lives.”
At their November meeting, CRYS board
members sent letters to previous and
potential contributors, asking them to
support the new season.
CRYS sponsors three orchestras: Prelude
Strings for beginning string musicians,
Young Artists Orchestra (YAO) for
intermediate musicians, and the Youth
Symphony for highly talented and
motivated musicians ages 13 through
college.
This 28th season will open with the
advanced string players of the Youth
Symphony performing their Chamber
Concert on Sunday, November 23, at
7 p.m. in SS. Peter & Paul Church, 508
Cherry Street in Jamestown. The program
ranges from Mozart and Pachebel’s
Canon to Lennon & McCartney and “Jazz
Pizzicato.”
Under the professional leadership of
Maestro Bryan Eckenrode, CRYS Music
Director and Conductor since 2003,
students have learning opportunities that
are unique in the Chautauqua area.
The Youth Symphony has a Chautauqua
Weekend of intensive coaching and
rehearsals at Chautauqua Institution in
early spring.
After trips the past two springs to meet
some of the musicians of the Pittsburgh
Symphony Orchestra and hear them
perform, in April CRYS students will
journey to Rochester to hear the Rochester
Philharmonic Orchestra accompany The
Peking Acrobats in Kodak Hall at Eastman
Theatre.
Rehearsals for all three orchestras begin
in January, with Prelude at Lutheran
on Friday afternoons and the Youth
Symphony and YAO at the Reg Lenna
Center for The Arts in downtown
Jamestown on Saturday mornings.
CRYS students pay tuition, but no
one is turned away for inability to pay.
CRYS receives essential funding from
foundations and other organizations in
the community. While parents, board
members and students all participate
in fund raising, support by individuals
and local organizations and businesses is
significant.
CRYS shows appreciation for its
contributors by recognition on its website
and in printed concert programs and
through complimentary admissions to
the Spring Gala Concert on Sunday, May
3, 2015, in the Reg Lenna Center for The
Arts.
Tax-deductible contributions to the
Chautauqua Regional Youth Symphony
can be mailed to P.O. Box 3454,

47% of Campaign Goal
Article Contributed by
United Way
At just over halfway through the 2014
Campaign, United Way of Southern
Chautauqua County is at 47% of its
$1,320,000 goal. This puts the campaign
ahead of the pace from the prior year with
many accounts reporting earlier results. “Our
campaign volunteers have done a tremendous
job this year of delivering packets on time and
encouraging early efforts at the workplaces,”
said Campaign Co-Chair Melissa Uber. “The
good news is that, on average, accounts have
been reporting approximately a 2% increase in
overall giving.”
“This year’s campaign centered on a theme
of understanding how your dollar makes
a difference in our community,” said
Campaign Co-Chair Shane Uber. “This has
been a powerful message and the donors are
responding generously.”
November is the month when workplace
campaigns are at their peak. “We have been
presenting at an average of two worksites
each week and have spoken to hundreds
of employees this year,” said Tory Irgang,
United Way Executive Director. “We have
also spoken to employee groups that haven’t
hosted a presentation in a number of years.
That is encouraging because it shows a strong
commitment from the company to allow the
time for the meetings.”
As is always the case, United Way’s campaign
relies on an army of volunteers who deliver
and follow up on the majority of the accounts.
Those volunteers are hoping to gather
final reports from corporate campaigns by
November 26th. “Our strategy was to generate
earlier results that would allow us time for
targeted follow up,” added Mrs. Uber. “While
the outcome is positive, we know there is a
long way until we can announce a victory.
Thank you to the donors who have already
given and to those who will commit to doing
so before the end of the year.”

what we were already doing. Sometimes
drummers and singers and music theory
students, for example, couldn’t get far
enough apart not to interfere and distract
each other. It was a grand experience, of
course, but not too efficient.”
The Lynn Building has allowed Infinity
to expand from its previous 9,000 sq. ft
space to a new 14,000 sq. ft. home, which
now includes a spacious, new 4,000 sq. ft.
Infinity Arts Café. “We were outgrowing
our old space, so this is not all really extra
room,” Strong said. “And we’ve always had
audiences, but now we can invite bigger
crowds, stage bigger shows and give our
students even more of a real world, stage
performance experience.”
New opportunities, however also include
new programs slated to begin in the
February to May trimester of 2015.
More practice rooms have been built so
more instrumental or vocal students can
practice simultaneously during the hours
Infinity is open. “With multiple rooms for
multiple lessons, we can draw in more new
students, too,” Strong explained.
“We’re extending certain programs to
adults, too,” Owens said. “So many local
people are Infinity graduates that it
seems just natural that adults should have
opportunities to continue, especially since
many of their children are already here.”

Study and performance opportunities
have also increased since Infinity’s
inception to now include art, dance and
acting. The new Infinity Arts Café space
is also equipped with an expansive mirror
wall for dance instruction.
Growing Staff
Infinity now offers instruction, coaching
and expert guidance by nearly 30
instructors, six full time and three part
time staff, many of whom also double as
instructors.
“We are very careful about whom we admit
as an instructor,” Owens said. “Primarily,
we only consider new instructor candidates
who have been recommended by already
proven and experienced instructors on our
team. We do accept some new applicants,
too, though not often.” Every applicant for
instructor, no matter how they come to us,
goes through a thorough interview and
audition process, and most important, a
detailed and extensive background check.”
Lessons and Scholarships
While lesson fees are reasonable for both
youth and adults in music, art, dance and
theater, limited need-based scholarships
are also available for private lesson
students, and other select classes. Infinity
invites those interested to direct questions
about scholarships and qualifying classes
to the Infinity staff.
Renovation Costs
The rest of the story, as always with
successful youth programs, has to do
with parental support, involvement and
the tireless work of volunteers. “But
funding, as always, is important, too. The
new opportunities in our new home are
absolutely fantastic,” Shane Hawkins said.
The $200,000 renovation project here
in the Lynn Building is coming along
beautifully and the generous contributions
from private citizens and local foundations
are making it possible. The job isn’t over
quite yet, though, and we welcome and
appreciate every dollar that is given. We’re
counting on the community to continue
supporting us.”

HUNTING

FARR-OUT OUTDOORS with NOLAN FARR
What Are You Hunting for?
after whatever that trophy is to you is what
I hope to encourage everyone to do. What
you shoot, or don’t shoot, should leave you
feeling content afterward, not ashamed.
Hunter s and many non-hunters alike seem
to know when opening day of firearms
deer season is here in western New York.
Heading out in the predawn darkness
for a deer stand is like going to bed on
Christmas Eve for a child, both filled
with anticipation of excitement soon to
follow. Ask nearly any hunter and they
will tell you that there is just something
about opening day, almost like a holiday
in the eyes of some. Seeing how most of
the total deer taken throughout the season
are tagged on the first weekend, statistics
clearly show that it is certainly a good time
to be in the woods.
However, just because we classify the men,
women, and youth dressed in blaze orange
as deer hunters doesn’t exactly mean that
they are out searching after the same
trophy. Don’t get me wrong, I’m pretty
sure that if one of the biggest bucks in the
county walks past, just about everyone is
going to try to take a shot. Nevertheless,
for some, a deer of that caliber is all they
are after. “Trophy hunters” might not
even care for the meat, which is hopefully
given away or donated. Huge antlers seem
to be all the rage nowadays in the hunting
world, and not that I’m really against
trying to shoot only deer with big racks,
but I’ve realized that shooting, let alone
seeing one of these animals might take
years, depending on the area you hunt.
Personally, I like pulling the trigger and
the taste of venison too much to hold out
for a deer I might never see. Don’t get me
wrong though, I’m not going to just go out
and start shooting at the first deer I see,
necessarily.
If I’m going to try to fill a tag, I’m going
to try and do so with a good sized deer,
one that I feel is a trophy to me, certainly
not just a huge buck. There are, however,
those who follow the saying, “if it’s brown,
it’s down.” Once again, not that I entirely
disagree with this mentality, because
shooting is a great way to control the evergrowing deer population, but I feel as
though I would rather know exactly what
I’m shooting at before pulling the trigger,
simply because last time I checked, it’s
pretty difficult to bring back a bullet after
it’s fired.
Everyone has their own trophy. Going
Nonetheless, there are still plenty out
there hunting for something even more
than deer and good times afield. Actually,
I’m sure this group includes just about
everyone, even the “anti-hunters” and
“anti-gun” community!
Peace, hope, and truth are all things that I
know everyone in society is searching for.
Just like in deer hunting, a deer cannot be
everywhere and you need to know the right
place to look. Society tells us where to
look for these qualities, but all too often it
seems we are still left empty and searching.
Deer hunting is certainly a place to find
some temporary peace, and possible hope
for another hunt, but honestly this doesn’t
last forever. Your hunting season is only so
long, and eventually you have to go back to
work or school. Fortunately there is a true
source of peace and hope that last longer
than deer season. No, not rabbit and duck
season, but rather something everlasting. I
can tell you about where I find peace in a
world full of chaos and instability, hope for
the future in a distressed world, and truth
amidst all of the lies and deceit thrown
from all directions. I can also tell you
it’s cheaper than a hunting license. The
answer is simple, and ironically finding
more stability involves giving up the
control that we try to take of our lives to
someone even greater.
Regardless of whether or not you’ll be
out chasing deer, I’m sure you are in the
same situation as everyone else; looking
for something more in life and no matter
what you’re hunting for, getting outdoors
and taking a walk in creation around us is
always a good start in the search.

Contributing Writer
Nolan Farr
Sure, big antlers, lean protein, and less
crop and property damage are definitely
all tangible reasons for many to hunt deer,
but intangible reasons exist equally, if not
more so. Any city slicker who has not been
able to see and hear the woods “wake up” is
certainly missing out. Just the silence and
the solitude of being in a deer stand are
sought out by many who are wound up in
the busyness of society. On the complete
other side of the spectrum, but still equally
able to help people forget about work and
a “to do” list, is the camaraderie of friends
and family at deer camp or on a deer drive.
Unlike tags filled or size of antlers, these
types of things can’t be measured, but ask
any hunter and they will likely tell you they
are just as important. I honestly don’t even
think some people care if they get a deer,
simply getting away from their normal
life, and possibly spouse, is enough. Then
again I don’t know if they will admit to that
last part. Right now the woods are filling
up with many sporting blaze orange and
probably all are deer hunters, but probably
not all are hunting for the same thing.

This and That
Bills Try to Complete
Season Sweep
of Jets at Home
-JAMESTOWN BASEBALL
IN THE HOUSE!!
cause the Bills defense some trouble.
Contributing Writer
Cody Crandall
Several weeks ago, the Buffalo Bills hit the
road to battle the New York Jets. When
the dust settled, the Bills came away
with a convincing, impressive victory,
with the final score being 43-23. The Jets
struggled against the Bills in every aspect.
Kyle Orton threw for four touchdowns,
Geno Smith threw three interceptions
before being benched for Michael Vick,
and Sammy Watkins carved up the Jets
secondary for a total of 157 receiving
yards. But, now the Jets will travel to
Orchard Park to again do battle with the
Bills to try to redeem themselves for their
sub-par performance several games ago.
With Michael Vick leading the New York
offense, things are looking better for the
Jets. They recently defeated the red hot
Pittsburgh Steelers, 20-13, after Steeler
quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger had
thrown for an insane 12 touchdowns in
his past two games. I think that turning
to Vick to lead the offense was the
right choice for the Jets. He has more
experience, and looks more comfortable
running the offense. If Vick can get
the ball to his wide receivers, including
playmaker Percy Harvin, and if he can
escape pressure in the pocket, he can

For the Bills, their defense continues to
be pretty close to dominant. They lead
the NFL in sacks, with 34, and defensive
tackle Marcell Dareus has 10 just by
himself. The defense as a whole is also
still surrendering less than 100 rushing
yards per game at the time of this writing
(96.1). The problem for the Bills has been
consistent offense and turning the ball
over. In a recent game against the Kansas
City Chiefs, crucial turnovers by running
back Bryce Brown, and corner back
Leodis McKelvin led to a disappointing
Bills loss. Also against Kansas City, the
Bills offense only put up 13 points, and
faltered down the stretch.
Does an offense led by Kyle Orton and
Sammy Watkins have enough fire power
for the Bills to truly compete for a playoff
spot? It would be a shame if the Bills keep
wasting such great efforts by their defense.
The Bills are just 2-3 at home this season,
and need to start taking better advantage
of their home field. Against a Jets team
that has really struggled all season long,
a loss in this game would be crushing to
the Bills playoff hopes. The Bills will need
to come out strong and aggressive right
from the start and not let the Jets hang
around until late in the game. If the Bills
play solid defense, and don’t turn the ball
over, they should come out on top in this
game. Go Bills!

PUZZLE SOLUTIONS
Contributing Writer
Bill Burk
-Everybody likes to clamor at officials
It’s American, apple pie and Chevrolet.
It’s the price you pay with admission, it
comes with your game ticket. There’s a
(misinformed but inherent) sense that
you could do better, that you see the
game more acutely, maybe even that you
know the rules better than they do. We
pay attention to officials. Players come
and go, offense changes over to defense
and back again, but the umpires stay
put, constant and unyielding. They are
ever-present, ubiquitous. They are often
conspicuous (occasionally notorious)
by the strict virtue of their function;
adjudicating the effort and actions
of others in front of a highly critical
audience. They are, in other words,
enough. That’s why officials bug me
who want to be part of the show, who
actively seek attention and consistently
instill themselves into the action of the
game. There is no room for celebrated
character in officiating. Their presence
and the job they do are plenty, we don’t
need to see or hear more of them than
necessary. The best arbiters of the games
are those who do their job quietly and
go as unnoticed as possible.
-Soccer
Soccer is the most fickle sport I’ve ever
had the pleasure to agonize over. There
is no sport more at the mercy of dumb
luck and a ball randomly bouncing in
favor of one team or against another.
Nor have I ever watched a sport that
could be dominated more by the team
that doesn’t end up winning.
-Education
Allow me to diverge from sports for a
moment: You can read somewhere daily
how far behind the United States is in
education compared to the rest of the
world; we’re 34th in math scores, 100th
in this, whatever in that. But I bet if you
took our top, say 5 million students, and
compared them to the top 5 million
from any other country we win going
away. You try educating a population as
large and diverse and free as ours and
see how you do.
The 12-team Prospect League will play
a 60-game schedule this summer out
of our own Diethrick Park. Prospect is
a collegiate summer wood bat league.
The Jamestown team is owned by Kevin
Rhomberg, Robert Schenosky and Ron
Bercaw, members of RS Entertainment.
I’m telling you now, you’re going to
like this baseball as much, if not better
than your expatriate Jammers. There’s
nothing like rooting for people who
want to be part of your community
and contribute and entertain you.
Mutual appreciation goes a long way.
The Jammers had the pedigree with
their professional association, but
recently some people felt a little like
they were holding that over our heads
for field improvements and ticket sales.
I promise you these Prospects will be
players you’ll want to root for.
- Convict Poker
Ever heard of Convict Poker? Just read
about it in Sports Illustrated. It’s a
rodeo event at the Angola Prison Rodeo
in Angola, LA (home of the largest
maximum prison in the US) where four
men sit around a poker table pretending
to play cards while a 2,000 pound bull
rages through their game. Last one
sitting wins. I haven’t been to the Gerry
Rodeo in years, but pick the right four
people to sit in those chairs and I’m
there yesterday.
-Dogs Chasing Cars
Digressing again: Anybody else
remember when dogs chased cars?
When I was a kid dogs chased cars,
that’s what they did; eat out of garbage
cans, drink out of the toilet, do their
business in the neighbor’s lawn…chase
cars. I don’t think I’ve seen a dog chase
a car in twenty years. I understand
leash laws and electric fences cut down
on the number of dogs running the
streets, but there still should be some
out there, right? They chase cats and
bikers and runners and mailmen still,
don’t they? My theory is that it’s been
naturally selected out of them; dogs
have evolved to stop chasing something
they never catch and can’t eat. I mean,
if you unsuccessfully try to tackle a big
metal box enough, don’t you eventually
give up, go lie down on the porch and
wait for someone to bring you a bowl of
food? I know I would.

“I know many visitors come every year to see the holiday exhibit and
this is another way to learn the reasons why we celebrate the holiday
season the way we do,” says Sara Reale, Education Coordinator and
Exhibit designer. The exhibit features many American Christmas
traditions, local ethnic traditions, Victorian era festivities and the
seasonal celebrations of Chanukah and Los Posadas or Three Kings.
This year’s exhibit will feature a Victorian Christmas wedding scene,
Mummers, and other holiday “get-togethers. The Fenton History
Center education department offers classroom tours of the Mansion
exhibit throughout the month of December. Also, we know teachers
are under pressure to cover the Common Core curriculum so we
have designed a tour of the holiday exhibit that meets the needs of
the elementary grades which we can take to the classroom if they
cannot come to the Fenton Mansion,” says Ms. Reale.
The tours last about an hour. Reservations are required. The groups
will be kept to under twenty. The tours cost $15 for potential Fenton
History Center members, $10 for members and $5 for children.
