Cummins Jamestown Engine Plant is hosting its second annual Women in Manufacturing Night on Thursday, October 27, from 6-8 p.m. This event is geared toward young women and parents of young women who have an interest or may be considering a career in manufacturing. Attendees will hear perspectives of women who currently work in manufacturing. While women represent nearly half (47 percent) of the total U.S. labor force, they comprise less than a third (27 percent) of the manufacturing workforce. While women make 79 cents to the dollar as compared to male wages in all fields; that gap is reduced to 92 cents to the dollar in STEM disciplines. With women representing less than a third of the manufacturing workforce, it is clear that manufacturers are missing out on a critical talent pool, which could aid remarkably in closing both the skills and pay gaps. This event will include a tour of the Cummins plant. The goals are to engage future generations of women, educate them about manufacturing, outline opportunities, introduce them to role models in the field, and provide a forum to network and talk with local women. The format encourages girls and young women to pursue their dreams and help develop the self-confidence to seek a variety of career options including advanced manufacturing. Dream It Do It Western New York is helping to co-

ordinate this event. As a strong advocate for women working in manufacturing careers, DIDIWNY works to educate young people about career paths in manufacturing, the sciences, technology, engineering, and math. The mission of DIDIWNY is to increase the skilled workforce pipeline in manufacturing careers. The Women in Manufacturing panel will be moderated by Cindy Aronson, owner of Cindy Aronson Workplace Training, and will include women who work in manufacturing in human resources, industrial engineering, electrical, and materials. This event is free to attend, but advanced registration is appreciated. Please note, that no open toed shoes or heels higher than 1-inch will be allowed, since participants will be touring the plant. For more information, please contact DIDI Coordinator Justin Hanft at (716) 969-6014.

Rose to Recite Poe at Barker Library Contributed Article Barker Library

Looking for something really frightening in the week leading up to Halloween? Try going to the Darwin R. Barker Library at 7 Day Street in Fredonia on Tuesday October 25 at 7 p.m. Listen there to Edgar Allan Poe's The Tell-Tale Heart as Jerry Rose, who retired as chair of the sociology and anthropology department at SUNY Fredonia some years ago, recites the rantings of a mad murderer as a simulated beating of his victim's heart pounds away in the background. He — Jerry that is, not the victim — will also be reciting three classic poems by Poe with laments about a lost lover: The Raven, Ulalume and Annabel Lee. The show is free and the first 40 or so comers will be seated in the seasonally-decorated Steele room shared by library and adjacent museum. If there are more attendees than seats another performance later in the week may be scheduled. For more information contact the library at 672-8051 or Jerry at 352-514-0363

The Weekly Word REDEEMED FROM SELF

Rev. Timothy Stahlman Family Church Jamestown fcjamestown.org

In John chapter 17, we receive a wonderful account of Jesus praying

for all those that would believe on Him. The passage looks right into the deepest sentiments the Lord has and desires for us. In the beginning of the prayer, Jesus prays to the Father and says, "I have glorified You on the earth, I have finished the work which You gave me to do. And now, O Father, glorify Me with Your own Self with the glory which I had with You before the world was." The word "glory" or "glorified" in these verses has a very interesting definition. The word means "to exhibit all God is and does" or "to cause a favorable opinion of God" and "the exalted

position with God". Jesus was saying, "Father, I have caused those on earth to have a favorable opinion of You by demonstrating what You are and do. Now take Me back to the exalted position I had with You before the world was created; restore all things as if none of this trouble ever happened." When God gave Jesus His glory, it was an exalted position that reigns victorious over every situation the devil ever caused! Now why does that matter to you? Because Jesus goes on to say something marvelous about you in His prayer. In John

17:22 Jesus says, "And the GLORY which You gave Me, I HAVE GIVEN THEM(believers), that they may be one even as We are one." Jesus said the glory which He was given is now given to us! That means that we have been given the ability to demonstrate all that God is and does so that the world would render upon Him a favorable opinion! That means that Jesus has given to us His exalted position before the world was ever formed; as if none of these troubles ever happened. Ephesians 2:5-6 says, "Even when we were dead in sins, (God) has made us alive

TOGETHER WITH CHRIST...and has raised us up TOGETHER, and made us SIT TOGETHER in heavenly places with Christ Jesus." The Word of God tells us that we have sat down in that exalted eternal seat with Christ. It's as if we are seated in the past and the future all at the same time. It's as if all our personal issues never happened and are already solved right now! Of course we know that in this world difficult things do and have happened. We don't deny that. But we can take our faith in the Word and see ourselves seated with Christ! We can view life from

His throne! And when we do our problems seem so small. So what would life be like if you believed that you are seated with the glory of Christ; the same glory Jesus had with the Father before the world ever was? What is there to pray about if all your issues are in God's hands? I'll tell you what you would pray for: Others! This is what Jesus wants us to understand: Your issues are handled, go and help solve the issues of others. Then you will know what it is to be Christ-like.

Consider using your lawn mower to mulch your leaves right into your lawn this fall. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bag your leaves. nutrients in the leaves will be released by decomposition back into the ground and then reused by the trees and grass as nourishment. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s free fertilizer! If you are a village or city resident, mulching your leaves can also help keep municipal costs down since it reduces the amount of leaves the public works department needs to haul away.

Never rake, blow or dump your leaves into the street, storm drain, or any waterway. Leaves that get swept into Chautauqua Lake or another body of water will cause excess organic material to accumulate. The nutrients in this swimming next summer.

Have too many leaves to mulch? Composting your leaves can provide all natural fertilizer for your garden next spring.

TITLE DEFENSE BEGINS, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 play again in practice today brought a smile to my face. They’re incredibly talented kids that play really well together. “We have a really deep bench this year,” he continued. “We have two young goaltenders that really impressed me today in practice. I feel good about goaltending. I think defensively we’re going to be strong. We have some veteran leadership back in defense. We need to develop three solid lines that can help us offensively.” The Steelers will jump up from the Blue Division to the White Division this season, but Bishop sees that as nothing but an opportunity to improve. “We’re going to play better teams and I think that’s going to make us a better hockey team,” he predicted. “We want to get better with every game and every shift we play. Teams will be gunning for us, no doubt, but in the long run that’s going to make us a better team. The worst thing you can do is become complacent and think that you’re good.” The Steelers already have one game on the schedule that jumps out as must-see hockey. On Dec. 17, Dunkirk-Fredonia will host Iroquois. The two teams last met in the state championship finals – a game that the Steelers dominated for a 4-1 victory. “That’s going to be awesome,” Bishop agreed. “That’s going to be quite a game. We’re also starting off with a Veteran’s Day tournament in Buffalo where we’re going to be playing all top division teams. We’re not going up there to win games, we’re going up there to become a better hockey team. We’ll have our work cut out for us. It’ll be a good opportunity to see what we have.” It might be cliché, but the Steelers are focused on taking this season one game at a time. Would it be great to win another state championship? Of course, but the coaching staff knows that it’ll never happen if the team is looking that far ahead. “It’s just amazing all the things that have to go right throughout the season, throughout the playoffs and throughout the state championship weekend to win that state championship,” Bishop concluded. “A lot of it could be the bounce of a puck or an injury. Our focus is making better hockey players. The past doesn’t equal the future. We’re going to set team goals and individual goals and work hard to reach those goals throughout the season.” Dunkirk Fredonia Varsity Steelers 2016-17 Roster FORWARDS

Fredonia Named to President’s Honor Roll for Community Service Contributed Article Fredonia

The State University of New York at Fredonia is one of just four SUNY campuses to be named "with Distinction" to the 2015 President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll, which recognizes colleges and universities who achieve meaningful, measurable outcomes in the communities they serve and show a clear commitment to community service and service learning. Fredonia joined Cortland, Geneseo and Oswego on the Honor Roll with distinction, while the following other SUNY campuses were also recognized: University at Albany, Alfred State, Binghamton University, SUNY Buffalo State, Cobleskill, Delhi,

Downstate Medical University, Fashion Institute of Technology, Monroe Community College, Morrisville, Old Westbury, Onondaga Community College, Oneonta, Plattsburgh and Stony Brook University. Joyce Harvard Smith, coordinator of Volunteer and Community Services at Fredonia, noted that student volunteers have provided much-needed service and resources to the economically depressed areas of Chautauqua County. During the past year, individual students and groups, along with athletic teams, performed over 20,000 hours of volunteer service. Ms. Smith added that the impact of student volunteers in the local community has been very significant. Examples of community service activities include

Operation Breakfast Rescue, a breakfast food donation drive to benefit the Chautauqua County Rural Ministry’s Friendly Kitchen. Student volunteers collected over 400 pounds of breakfast food items to assist impoverished families in the local community. Colleges Against Cancer raised over $30,000 dollars in its Relay for Life campaign which benefited the American Cancer Society. Over 400 volunteers including students, faculty, staff and administrators participated in the event. The Beach Sweep is part of the Ocean Conservancy’s International Coastal Cleanup campaign. Approximately 70 volunteers, including students, faculty and community members participated in the most recent event, and over 297 pounds of debris was collected.

Smith added, “Our students have shown care and compassion to those who were in the greatest need. I am very proud of our student volunteers who have made such a difference in the lives of others.” Inspired by the thousands of college students who traveled across the country to support relief efforts along the Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina, the President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll highlights the role colleges and universities play in solving community challenges. CNCS, the federal agency for volunteering and service, has administered the

award since 2006 in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Education and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban

Development, as well as the American Council on Education, Campus Compact and the Interfaith Youth Core.

Shades of Pink Golf Tournament raises $9,200 Contributed Article WCA Hospital

On Friday, August 5, the second annual Shades of Pink Golf Tournament was held at South Hills Country Club to benefit WCA Hospital’s Shades Of Pink Program. All were welcomed and encouraged to play in this tournament, which helped raise funds for a great cause; cancer care. Randy Grey was the driving force behind the tournament and wanted to encourage the community to support our local breast cancer survivor, Ann Sischo. Ann and her husband Steve wanted to see that money stayed local and was used to help others through the difficult times. “When I found out that I had cancer,” Ann stated, “the staff at WCA Hospital’s Mammography Department were so positive, warm and comforting. We wanted to ensure people in the community were able to receive the same care as I had. The money we donate will be able to provide women in the community breast cancer screenings and the care, support and education they need to navigate through this journey. We were able to raise $5,200 this year, far exceeding our expectations, and we wouldn’t have been able to do it without the help of our committee, community and supporters. We are very proud that part of the money raised last year was used to provide education for a young lady to be certified as a breast navigator.” WCA Shades of Pink breast screening program started in 2012 in the WCA Center for Imaging. The purpose of the program is to increase access of breast screening to women who are identified as having barriers obtaining a clinical breast exams and mammogram. The name SHADES OF PINK came about which encompasses all the degrees in variations of which women face in accessing breast cancer screening. No women should die of breast cancer be-

WCA Shades of Pink is a “one-stop same day” screening program. Women come to WCA Center for Imaging where a nurse practitioner or physician will perform a clinical breast exam. Then the women moves on to get her mammogram screening and will receive same day results. WCA’s Certified Breast Navigator educates the women on her results of her screening and helps her to move to further diagnostic testing if her screening identifies any suspicious findings. The support given

by the breast navigator moves throughout the screening, diagnosis, and treatment of breast cancer. WCA Shades of Pink coordinates its’ efforts with The Chautauqua County Cancer Services Program to recruit women in underserved areas to the screening program. They help the women to obtain insurance and coverage to pay for the clinical exam and mammogram. They also help the women find a primary care physician if the women does not have one and is in further need of diagnostic treatment. They will also work with women who have insurance but have high deductibles and can’t afford breast screening

The History of Halloween

Contributed Article History.com Staff

Straddling the line between fall and winter, plenty and paucity, life and death, Halloween is a time of celebration and superstition. It is thought to have originated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off roaming ghosts. In the eighth century, Pope Gregory III designated November 1 as a time to honor all saints and martyrs; the holiday, All Saints’ Day, incorporated some of the traditions of Samhain. The evening before was known as All Hallows’ Eve and later Halloween. Over time, Halloween evolved into a secular, community-based event characterized by child-friendly activities such as trickor-treating. In a number of countries around the world, as the days grow shorter and the nights get colder, people continue to usher in the winter season with gatherings, costumes and sweet treats. ANCIENT ORIGINS OF HALLOWEEN Halloween’s origins date back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced sow-in). The Celts, who lived 2,000 years ago in the area that is now Ireland, the United Kingdom and northern France, celebrated their new year on November 1. This day marked the end of summer and the harvest and the beginning of the dark, cold winter, a time of year that was often associated with human death. Celts believed that on the night before the new year, the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred. On the night of October 31 they celebrated Samhain, when it was believed that the ghosts of the dead returned to earth. In addition to causing trouble and damaging crops, Celts thought that the presence of the otherworldly spirits made it easier for the Druids, or Celtic priests, to make predictions about the future. For a people entirely dependent on the volatile natural world, these prophecies were an important source of comfort and direction during the long, dark winter. To commemorate the event, Druids built huge sacred bonfires, where the people gathered to burn crops and

animals as sacrifices to the Celtic deities. During the celebration, the Celts wore costumes, typically consisting of animal heads and skins, and attempted to tell each other’s fortunes. When the celebration was over, they re-lit their hearth fires, which they had extinguished earlier that evening, from the sacred bonfire to help protect them during the coming winter. By 43 A.D., the Roman Empire had conquered the majority of Celtic territory. In the course of the four hundred years that they ruled the Celtic lands, two festivals of Roman origin were combined with the traditional Celtic celebration of Samhain. The first was Feralia, a day in late October when the Romans traditionally commemorated the passing of the dead. The second was a day to honor Pomona, the Roman goddess of fruit and trees. The symbol of Pomona is the apple and the incorporation of this celebration into Samhain probably explains the tradition of “bobbing” for apples that is practiced today on Halloween. On May 13, 609 A.D., Pope Boniface IV dedicated the Pantheon in Rome in honor of all Christian martyrs, and the Catholic feast of All Martyrs Day was established in the Western church. Pope Gregory III (731–741) later expanded the festival to include all saints as well as all martyrs, and moved the observance from May 13 to November 1. By the 9th century the influence of Christianity had spread into Celtic lands, where it gradually blended with and supplanted the older Celtic rites. In 1000 A.D., the church would make November 2 All Souls’ Day, a day to honor the dead. It is widely believed today that the church was attempting to replace the Celtic festival of the dead with a related, but church-sanctioned holiday. All Souls Day was celebrated similarly to Samhain, with big bonfires, parades, and dressing up in costumes as saints, angels and devils. The All Saints Day celebration was also called All-hallows or All-hallowmas (from Middle English Alholowmesse meaning All Saints’ Day) and the night before it, the traditional night of Samhain in the Celtic religion, began to be called All-hallows Eve and, eventually, Halloween.

Fall Cleaning By Katy Wise Contributing Writer

Everyone has heard of spring cleaning, but who here participates in fall cleaning? We do! We might be the only ones, but I like to have our household set in order before we go into winter. There are so many projects that are either more difficult or impossible to do once there's snow, so now is the time to finish them up. Indoors and outdoors. We have a list of different projects that I would like to get done as far ahead of our first snowfall as possible. For example, if you have any privacy fences waiting to be installed, better now than in the snow! No, really, this is one of our things. It's also the perfect time to finish painting a shed, plant flower bulbs and pull out extra weeds that you don't want around in the spring. So start on the outdoors where you are more limited on time, working around the rain, and then move indoors. You may already know this, as I briefly mentioned above, but one of the best ways to stay on top of projects is by writing out lists. I have numerous lists. Household lists, big picture lists, Christmas lists, birthday lists, goals, etc. all over the place. Digital, written, organized by priority. Lists, lists, lists. Writing is a great aid to the memory, though. At least it works for me! So here are some project ideas in case you need any. If you don't have any or need any, you are more than welcome to come over here and help us out! Outdoors 1. Remove shrubs or unwanted foliage 2. Plant flower bulbs 3. Trim mums and other foliage

4. Put away outdoor toys and seating that won't be used during the winter 5. Finish outdoor painting projects 6. Wash Windows and doors 7. Replace screens 8. Sweep off porch and remove cobwebs 9. Clean your car! Now clearly the outdoors list might not be in order of when you can do these projects. We are by all means going to keep our outdoor toys accessible until we can no longer move around in the snow. That last one is a priority. Before you know it, you'll be carting around Christmas presents and there will be snow on the ground. Cars are so much easier to clean when it's nice outside, so get it done now. Again, these may not all be necessary for you, these are just some general ideas to help keep your house clean and orderly. Plus I said that writing a list helps you remember to do it, so thanks for making me write it all out again, guys! Indoor projects 1. Wash inside of windows and doors 2. Thouroughly dust and vacuum (closets, under beds, behind furniture...) 3. Wash bedding (pillows and bed skirts too!) 4. Wash curtains and other linens 5. Consider getting carpets cleaned 6. Thouroughly clean and sanitize other floors in home 7. Clean and sort basement and/or attic 8. Sort through clothes. 9. Organize cupboards Ok, some of these might be shooting for the stars kind of goals. We have done many of them recently, but there's more to do!

Now why on earth do I feel the need to clean and vacuum behind and under all our furniture? Well, creepy crawly critters (like spiders, blech!) start to head indoors this time of year. If you can cut back on clutter and and keep those unseen areas clean, you're gmore than one step ahead of them. Who wants bugs in their home? Not me. Same goes for washing all your bedding and curtains. There might be cobwebs in the bottom of the curtains behind your couch. Reason number 782 why I dislike spiders. Seriously, though. Take away all their little hiding spots. Now as for sorting through clothes, boxing up hand me downs can be a huge chore. It saves money in the long run if you have kids close in age, and of the same gender, but it is so, so much easier to just keep all the appropriate seasonal clothes together. Now as for the basement... This is also a huge undertaking. And I mean huge. If the thought overwhelms you, just consider going to pull out your Christmas stuff, and knowing exactly where all of it is. Maybe you already do. See, last year we thought we did, until we found an extra box when we were putting away our Christmas stuff later on. Oops. That's what happens when your basement isn't well organized. Which is exactly what I'm trying to prevent from happening this year. As always, thanks for reading and happy cleaning from hbk!

What A Ride FREDONIA TENNIS ENJOYS BEST SEASON IN SCHOOL HISTORY

LEAVE IT TO THE

EXPERTS FOR ALL YOUR ELECTRICAL NEEDS

Fredonia | Jamestown

By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

When the Fredonia women’s tennis team downed Oswego in the consolation round of the SUNYAC Championships last week, the group secured the most wins in the program’s recorded history. Going back nearly two decades to 1999, no team has ever matched this squad’s total of 10 wins. Fredonia finished with a dazzling 10-3 record just one season after have a losing record of 6-7 in 2015. “It was a wonderful season,” head coach Greg Catalano said. “The girls played really hard all year.” In this part of the country, it’s difficult for tennis to be a year-round sport, but after the 2015 season, Catalano put new emphasis on his team staying in shape and working hard during the offseason. “We started last winter,” he explained. “I’ve been trying for a couple years to get a trainer to help the team lift weights just for tennis. All winter long the girls lifted and worked on flexibility. “We had a two-game set in the spring to keep the girls interested,” Catalano added. “I want them to think about tennis all year long. This summer they played a lot. They worked out like crazy. When the season came, they were so much stronger. They had greater endurance. We didn’t lose a

third set match all season. They came into the season in great shape.” The team was filled with impressive personal performances and stories, but perhaps none of them can match that of senior Chloe Cohen, who tied the Fredonia record of 20 career wins. The crazy part of the story? Cohen never even played competitive tennis until her sophomore year at Fredonia. “I started as a walk-on in my sophomore year,” she said. “I was a volleyball player and tried out for the Fredonia volleyball team. I didn’t make it due to my height, but the tennis coach approached me about playing and I said sure. I learned through the years and started getting good.”

“It’s a great story because she’s such a hard-working person,” Catalano said of Cohen. “She’s one of the best team leaders I’ve ever had. She makes people around her better and she refuses to lose.” First singles player, sophomore Olivia Miller, is another tremendous athlete who never played tennis in high school. She was a soccer player before picking up a racket and vaulting to the top of the team’s charts. Or how about Mallory Mecca? The sophomore is a catcher on the Blue Devils softball team and broke her right hand before the tennis season. “She was there every day hitting the ball against the wall left handed,” Catalano recalled. “By the time the doctor

cleared her to play tennis, she came on really strong. She’s a great athlete.” The list could go on and on. Senior Halee Dickinson paired with Cohen to win some big doubles matches as well as plenty of singles matches herself. Freshman Anna Chiacchia stepped in and provided immediate results. Leanne Hofstead, Christine Thomas, Adriana Speach, Chloe Kamisky and other were instrumental in the team’s success. “They’re competitors,” Catalano noted. “I had 12 girls while most teams only have six or eight. We had some high competition in practice. They refused to lose. They want to make something of Fredonia tennis. They wanted to make a CONTINUED ON PAGE 29

If Only I Could Have Seen Them Play By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

Last month, the sporting world lost one bona fide legend and one of the truly great young players in America’s Favorite Pastime. I wasn’t quite sure how to go about writing about the loss of Arnold Palmer and Jose Fernandez. I couldn’t very well just ignore the loss of these two great athletes, but it’s also a sensitive subject. As I was thinking about Palmer, the thought popped into my head, “I wish I could have seen him play.” Palmer’s prime was before I was born, but I also only recently got into golf at all, so even his appearances as an older man were all but lost on me. I’m sure I don’t need to waste ink here writing about all of Palmer’s accomplishments on the golf course. He wasn’t just objectively great, but he played with a charisma that made him must-watch TV. Players like that just don’t come around very often. As for Fernandez, I feel incredibly fortunate not only to have seen him play, but witnessed it in person during his time for the Jamestown Jammers. I spent a number of years working for the Jammers and whenever a first-round pick came into town, even on the visiting team, you made note of it because it’s a player with a great chance to make the Major Leagues. Fernandez, of course, didn’t just make the Majors, but he took it by storm. The Cuban defector became one of the best pitchers in all of baseball the moment he stepped onto the field in his Marlins uniform. If not for his tragic boating accident, I have no doubt that Fernandez would have become one of the players I’d tell my future grandkids about some day. He could have become an all-time great. There are a lot of athletes across various sports I feel fortunate to have seen play either in person or on TV — LeBron James, Ken Griffey Jr., Greg Maddux, Peyton Manning, Tony Gwynn (my first MLB game I ever went to), Shaq (my first NBA game). Yet there are assuredly hundreds more that fall into the Arnold Palmer category and I’ll only ever be able to admire their talents from watching highlights or looking at stats. I could write a book on this, I’m sure, but I want to highlight just a few of my top choices. JIM THORPE, Olympian, football, baseball, basketball — Thorpe is often regarded as the greatest athlete of all time. He won Olympic gold medals in 1912 for the pentathlon and decathlon. He also played professional football, baseball and basketball. When someone is so widely regarded as the greatest, any sports fan would want to see them in action. Could a guy born in 1887 really be a better athlete than LeBron James, Adrian Peterson, Usain Bolt, Michael Phelps, etc.?

The world said goodbye to golf legend Arnold Palmer last month. (AP Photo/David J. Phillip)

ROBERTO CLEMENTE, baseball — Clemente is idolized in Pittsburgh, where he played his Hall of Fame career with the Pirates. The right field wall in PNC Park is 21 feet high in his honor (21 being his jersey number). He’s remembered almost more for his tragic death than his exceptional career, but what I’d really want to see is his arm. There are highlights of Clemente gunning the ball into third base from the right field wall on the fly. His ability to hit bad balls (a la Vladimir Guerrero) must have made him a mustsee player at the plate, too. WILT CHAMBERLIN, basketball — Wilt “The Stilt” might not be the best player in NBA history. He might have been an infamous womanizer. He might have even been a huge jerk. But there’s no denying that Chamberlin dominated the game of basketball like few ever have – perhaps like no one ever has. At 7-foot-1, Wilt was simply too big to be stopped. His 100-point game is the stuff of legend. His Lakers won 33 straight games at one point. Yeah, guys like Shaq have used their huge stature to put up ridiculous stats, but Chamberlin’s utter dominance puts him on this list for me. BABE RUTH, baseball — The greatest baseball player ever. There’s not even a close second. Ruth was the game’s best left-handed pitcher. He threw more shutouts than Pedro Martinez, in fact. Then he decided he’d rather hit and became the greatest hitter of all time (in fairness, I’d listen to arguments for Ted Williams). Famously stocky, Ruth looked more like a bus driver than a generational athlete, but that only adds to his legend. Did he really call his shot? That’s up for debate, but it hardly matters. Baseball is my favorite sport and Ruth is the best to ever do it.

WALTER PAYTON and JIM BROWN, football — I saw Barry Sanders. I saw Emmitt Smith. I’ve watched Adrian Peterson from Day 1. These guys are the best I’ve ever seen. Yet according to experts, all three of them are looking up at Payton and Brown for the title of best running back of all time. Maybe I grew up in the wrong era because I’ve always preferred a running game to the current passing game that’s taken over the NFL. If Payton and Brown really were the best to do it, then they’re players I’d love to have seen play…as long as Payton wasn’t torching the Packers. MANY PITCHERS, baseball — Yeah this is a bit of a cop out, but there are so many outstanding pitchers that I wish I could have seen. Going back to Walter Johnson and Cy Young in the early 1900s all the way through to Fernando Valenzuela and “Fernandomania” in the 1980s. Bob Feller and his legendary fastball would be something to witness. Christy Mathewson and Tom Seaver were two totally different eras, but I’d love to have seen them pitch. If I absolutely had to pick just one, however, I couldn’t – I’d pick two. I’m making the rules so I get a lefty and a righty. Sandy Koufax and Bob Gibson are two of my favorite pitchers ever just based off stories and stats. Both guys were dominance personified. Gibson was so good that MLB had to lower the mound. Koufax’s final two seasons were 26 and 27 wins, respectively. He’s the youngest player even inducted into the Hall of Fame. I can’t tell you how many more players I’d like to add to this list. I’d also love to hear which players you wish you could have seen play. Send me your thoughts to stefang@starmg.co.

Ritchie Chosen SUNYAC Offensive Player of Week Contributed Article FSU Sports Information Dept.

CORTLAND, N.Y. -- Fredonia senior Jimmy RItchie (East Aurora, N.Y./East Aurora) has been named Men's Offensive Player of the Week by the State University of New York Athletic Conference. Ritchie scored all three goals in Saturday's 3-2 SUNYAC win

over Plattsburgh. He scored in the 15th, 42nd, and 54th minutes -- his fifth, sixth, and seventh goals this season. He leads the team in goals and is second in points with 16. With two regular seasons left, Ritchie has exceeded his goalscoring last year, when he had two goals. He had no goals two seasons ago. Two of his goals this season have been game-winners.

WHAT A RIDE, CONTINUED FROM statement that tennis is important.” “We were like a family,” Cohen remarked. “It was amazing. The new girls that all came on were so strong. Right from the beginning we knew it was going to be a good season. I enjoyed every second of it.” In college athletics, success often breeds more success. It’s easier to pitch a program to a recruit when there are wins to brag about. “That’s the goal this year,” Catalano agreed. “I have something now that I can hand out to kids when I go to Sectionals. I’m hoping that the girls take a second look at Fredonia. I want to be competitive in every match. That’s the goal.” The loss of seniors Cohen, Dickinson, Hofstead and Stephanie Ashodian will certainly be felt, but this appears to be a team that’s prepped for prolonged success. “Absolutely,” Cohen agreed. “Olivia Miller has great leadership skills and she’s very passionate about tennis. Anna (Chiacchia) is amazing. Right away I knew

With a 4-3 record in the conference (10-5-1 overall), Ritchie and his teammates are back in action Friday at New Paltz and Saturday at Oneonta. The Blue Devils need one more win to qualify for the sixteam SUNYAC Tournament field. They also can get into the tournament if Plattsburgh and Potsdam either tie or lose one of their remaining two games this weekend vs. Brockport and Geneso.

Star Sports Editor

INDIANAPOLIS COLTS (2-4) at TENNESSEE TITANS (3-3) The Colts let a two-touchdown lead disappear in the fourth quarter last week and it’s impossible to trust this team right now. At least 33-year old Frank Gore is having a nice season running the ball. The Titans are almost certainly the league’s worst 3-3 team with none of those wins coming against contenders. Still, it’s nice to see Marcus Mariota shaking off his early-season struggles. Colts are rubbish in the road. PICK VS. SPREAD: Titans (-2.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Titans.

MINNESOTA VIKINGS (5-0) at PHILADELPHIA EAGLES (3-2) The Vikings are the league’s lone remaining undefeated team and are coming off a bye. Those two things alone would make it hard to pick against them. The health of wide receiver Stefon Diggs have to be a concern, however. Eagles fans would have been foolish to think there wouldn’t be bumps in the road this season with a rookie quarterback. The issue bigger than Carson Wentz, however, is the defense that has looked pretty bad during a two-game skid. PICK VS. SPREAD: Vikings (-2.5) STRAIGHT PICK: Vikings.

CLEVELAND BROWNS (0-6) at CINCINNATI BENGALS (2-4) Five road games in a team’s first seven is a tough task for any team, but Cleveland was already fighting the uphill battle of having a terrible roster. They’ll win a couple games this year, but it probably won’t start on the road against a desperate Bengals team. Cincy has losses to four of the very best teams in

the NFL. No shame in that. But the Bengals better get their butts in gear in a hurry and start reeling off some wins. PICK VS. SPREAD: Bengals (-9.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Bengals.

WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM (4-2) at DETROIT LIONS (3-3) It wasn’t that long ago that Washington was 0-2. It wasn’t that long ago that Detroit was 1-3. Now both teams have some momentum coming into this one. The Football Team is fifth in passing yards per game and 12th in rushing yards per game yet just 15th in points for. Need to start converting. Detroit’s Matthew Stafford is playing some of the best ball of his life despite the offense losing basically all of its running backs to injury. These are two teams that could be fighting for a wild card spot so the head-to-head tiebreaker could be important. PICK VS. SPREAD: Lions (-1.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Lions.

OAKLAND RAIDERS (4-2) at JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS (2-3) The Raiders just put up an absolute stinker at home last week. They’ll have to make a cross-country trip for a 1:00 p.m. game now, which hardly bodes CONTINUED ON PAGE 33

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS (4-1) at ARIZONA CARDINALS (2-3) This is what football is all about. Two heated rivals in a primetime game with one of the teams trying to save its season. Seattle can basically bury Arizona and all but win the NFC West with a win. This is definitely a better team than the one that lost to the Rams in Week 2. Arizona is the desperate team. They know their hopes at a division title are riding on this game and expect Carson Palmer and Co. to come out strong.

HOUSTON TEXANS (4-2) at DENVER BRONCOS (4-2) In a potential playoff preview, the Monday Night Football game could be the game of the week…but it won’t be. The storyline in this one is of course Brock Osweiler returning to take on his former team that didn’t think he was worth starting quarterback money. Denver doesn’t regret that decision at this point, I’m sure. Denver’s defense knows Osweiler from several years of practicing against him. They’re going to get after him and force him into mistakes. Denver hasn’t lost three in a row since 2011 and don’t expect that to change. PICK VS. SPREAD: Broncos (-7.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Broncos.

Records Fall in CLCS-Panama Swim Meet By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

A pair of school records fell during a special night of girls swimming and diving. Panama defeated Chautauqua Lake by a score of 125-61, but it would have been hard for anyone to leave the pool disappointed after watching the records fall. Chautauqua Lake sophomore Kendra Keyser shave three-tenths of a second off of the school’s 200 yard freestyle record with her time of 2:10.51. The previous record of 2:10.87 was set back in 2007 by Andrea Schmitt. Keyser also qualified for Sectionals in the 500-yard freestyle. In the diving portion of the meet, which featured several divers that will be headed to Sectionals, it was Panama’s Abi Liscandro who stood above the rest. Her monstrous score of 250.42 The Lady Panther’s score broke the Panama school record. Another record came awfully close to being broken in the diving event. Chautauqua Lake’s Sara Godfrey performed to the tune of 215.17, which is just 1.2 points off the school record set back in 2014 by Kirsten Elliot. In total, five divers posted scored that will land them in Sectionals (though some had already qualified earlier in the season).

EVENT WINNERS 200-yard medley: Panama (Nicole Johnson, Kayla Loberg, Paige Turcotte, Karianna Yuchnitz) – 1:58.79. 200-yard freestyle: Kendra Keyser, CLCS and Issi Bailey, Panama (tie) — 2:10.51. 200-yard IM: Nicole Johnson, Panama — 2:31.63. 50-yard freestyle: Abi Bailey, Panama — :28.49. 1-meter diving: Abi Liscandro, Panama — 250.42. 100-yard butterfly: Paige Turcotte, Panama — 1:04.17. 100-yard freestyle: Karianne Yuchnitz, Panama — :56.37. 500-yard freestyle: Izzi Bailey, Panama — 5:56.64. 200-yard freestyle relay: Panama (Paige Turcotte, Kayla Loberg, Izzi Bailey, Karianna Yuchnitz) — 1:50.03. 100-yard backstroke: Nicole Johnson, Panama — 1:06.12. 100-yard breaststroke: Paige Turcotte, Panama — 1:13.54. 400-yard freestyle relay: Panama (Leah Saxton, Izzi Bailey, Nicole Johnson, Karianna Yuchnitz) — 4:06.28.

Lake Erie Fishing Hotline Contributed Article NYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation

Smallmouth bass fishing has picked up off Buffalo at depths of 15-25 feet. A drop-shot rig with shiners or tubes has worked well around rocky structure. Myers Reef and from Sturgeon Point to Evans Bar are also good bass bets. There has been some effort for yellow perch this past week, but not many caught. Anglers report small scattered schools between Sturgeon Point and Cattaraugus Creek. Walleye were recently biting well between Point Breeze and west of Cattaraugus Creek in 68-75 feet of water. Boaters can target staging steelhead off major tributary mouths by trolling between 2-2.5 mph with spoons and stickbaits. Lake Erie Tributaries Thursday's brief rain shower had no impact on Lake Erie tributary levels. All streams except Cattaraugus Creek are exceptionally low and crystal clear, with very few spooky steelhead in the lowest sections. Cattaraugus Creek is also quite clear and low, with a flow rate of 88 cubic feet per second, but there is enough water for steelhead to trickle upstream. Anglers are catching decent numbers of steelhead in the lower section of the Catt at times. With the clear conditions, it is good practice to use light line, move stealthily and fish early or late in the day. Anglers are also catching a few steelhead from the pier at the mouth of the creek by casting spoons and spinners. For those new to steelhead fishing, see the Steelhead Fishing in Lake Erie Tributaries page for information on steelhead fishing equipment, locations and links to stream maps. Upper Niagara River Smallmouth bass fishing has been sporadic lately. Target feeding bass outside weed edges by drifting

and bottom bouncing with live shiners, crayfish or plastics. Cooling river waters in fall usually turns on the muskellunge fishing. Drifting along weed edges or over structure with large tube jigs or casting large stickbaits are top methods. Live bait produces a mix of panfish and bass at shore sites along the City of Buffalo. Chautauqua Lake Anglers continue to see a good walleye bite in the south basin. Trolling along the deeper section of the basin in 14-18 feet of water with stickbaits and worm harnesses has worked well. In addition, a recent DEC electrofishing survey showed high numbers of walleye in nearshore areas of the south basin at night. Anglers are also picking up some walleye in the north basin at depths over 30 feet by trolling or by vertical jigging with blade baits and jigging Rapalas. Yellow perch are biting well around the north basin on small minnows fished near the bottom. Fall is generally a top time to target muskellunge on Chautauqua Lake. Key on weedlines by trolling with large stickbaits (especially perch pattern) or by casting bucktail spinners. Surplus Broodstock Trout Stocking DEC Randolph Fish Hatchery are conducting their annual fall stocking of broodstock trout in select Al-

legany and Cattaraugus County waters. All breeder trout stocked are over 2 years old and are stocked in waters where trout fishing is permitted all year. The following waters have been stocked as of October 13th: Case Lake received 300 brown trout (15"-26") and 25 rainbow trout (28"); Quaker Lake received 150 brown trout (21"-26") and 200 rainbow trout (15"); Red House Lake received 250 brown trout (15"26"); Allen Lake received 200 brook trout (15"-20"), 50 brown trout (15") and 25 rainbow trout (21"). Inland Trout Fishing Water levels remain low on all area streams, but water temperatures are now more favorable for trout fishing. The statewide trout season closes on October 15 (Great Lakes tributaries excluded). However, a number of inland streams are open to trout fishing all year. Check the Special Regulations by County to see what streams are open to trout fishing beyond October 15. If you need more fishing information or would like to contribute to the fishing report, please call or email Mike Todd (716-851-7010; michael.todd@dec. ny.gov). Good Luck Fishing! The fishing hotline can also be heard at (716) 679ERIE or (716) 855-FISH.
