The State University of New York at Fredonia campus has undergone several exciting building projects over the past decade. The Juliet J. Rosch Recital Hall was added in 2003 and the Robert and Marilyn Maytum Music Rehearsal Halls further improved the music program in 2010.

explained. “For many years the arts programs were part of a larger college of arts and humanities. The decision was made to bring all the arts programs together as one unit." The Rockefeller Arts Center was built in 1969 and hadn’t really seen any major improvements in the past 47 years. In that time, however, the variety of arts majors and programs offered at Fredonia has increased substantially. Out of a total university enrollment of about 4,800, there are roughly 1,000 students in the College of Visual and Performing Arts. That massive number of students was perhaps the main driving force behind the new addition. “That was a strong factor because there are so many arts students on campus,” Blasting added. “We also hope to attract more students to Fredonia because the competition for students is significant not only in Western New York but across the state." The Studio Complex provides 40,000 square feet of new space. The additions include three new dance studios, five art studios, a new scenic paint shop and a pair of acting classrooms. There was also renovation to the existing Rockefeller Arts Center space involved in the project. With an undertaking of this magnitude, there are bound to be obstacles. “This is the third building project I’ve been a part of,” Blasting shared. “There are two major hurdles when you’re doing construction. The first part is getting the funding approved. President Dennis Hefner accomplished that by telling the story — with supporting data — that says this is why this building is needed and how it’s going to serve the community. Once that’s approved, you get into the hard work of making sure the project stays on schedule and making sure you can still run your programs during the time
of construction.” While the new studios and classrooms are currently up and running, renovation on others is still in progress. Everything is expected to be totally finished by Christmas of 2016. Once the faculty is officially moved in, it’ll put the entire College of Visual and Performing Arts under one roof. “The most exciting thing about this building ties into one of our main goals we have as a college, which is to work more closely together,” Blasting noted. “That doesn’t happen by the dean telling people to do it. It happens organically by people meeting each other. What this building does is allow people from different disciplines to simply meet one another. Scenic and lighting designers will be down the hall from the animation and the film and video people. The dancers walk past the scene shop. The musicians walk through this building and past the sculpture studios. You have students and faculty that are dancers, sculptors, designers, actors and musicians simply meeting each other by chance and that’s where collaboration begins.” While the new building won’t directly affect the general public – there is just one new dance studio equipped for a small audience – Chautauqua County residents should be excited for the aforementioned collaboration among the various arts. The creativity is nearly palpable in the studios, classrooms and even the hallways of the new building. The future for Fredonia’s College of Visual and Performing Arts promises to be bright. “There are exciting things going on here almost every day,” Blasting said. “We are excited about this particular season. We’re about ready to open our Christmas show. The next thing that we’re now looking forward to is the Hillman Opera, which will celebrate its

Google is no longer just a search engine, it’s a business strategy; or it should be. During a recent workshop, the Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce demonstrated a variety of social media platforms, with a focus on Google My Business. We are strongly encouraging all local businesses to claim their Google My Business space. If you Google search your business name and the text to the right of the page says “claim this business” that means you have not yet claimed your Google search space. It is absolutely free and in order to make sure your business information is accurate in a Google search, you must claim that space. Click the link that says “claim this business” and follow the directions. Why is this important? For about two trillion reasons! That’s how many Google searches are done annually. Over 100-billion Google searches occur each month, and the Google market share for U.S. searches is 75 percent, depending on which study you look at. In addition, more than half of all Google searches are done on mobile devices. Google is how your business gets found online. If your business is a member of the Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce, we are already helping to boost your Google search. Google mapping is embedded in the Chamber’s online business directory listings, so anyone searching for your business on our site can already easily find your location. In addition,

You don’t have to babysit your Google presence constantly, but you should check it periodically to find out if comments have been left about your business. In an area such as Chautauqua County where tourism is big business, you’ll want to be sure that your store or restaurant or other service industry is easily located.

Audubon Community Nature Center Unveils New Sign and New Name
Contributed Article Audubon Community Nature Center
Audubon Community Nature Center (ACNC) began its 60th anniversary year with all things new: a new name, newly defined mission, vision, and belief statements, and new slogan, graphics, and website. The change was celebrated with the recent unveiling of a new sign at its entrance on Riverside Road, onequarter miles east of Route 62 between Jamestown, New York, and Warren, Pennsylvania. President Ruth Lundin addressed the assembled group. She noted that for the last ten years, the Nature Center staff and Board of Directors have been thinking that the name and the logo did not do justice to its wide range of exhibits, events, and programming. Despite focus groups, surveys, and questionnaires, including both members and strangers, “The crystal ball remained murky. We were not interested in taking a new direction but in clarifying the essence of what we provide.” Things turned around when, “Just 10 months ago, a new committee began work. It included staff, board members, and Nature Center members, and was ably led by Kristen Johnson Lombardi, a wonderfully talented volunteer who has experience leading branding efforts, together with Andy King, a talented graphic design artist.” Lundin explained that Audubon was moving to become a community nature center “even before we knew what to call it.” In the last two years, Audubon has doubled membership in Warren and begun to provide programming there, thanks to support of the Community Foundation of Warren, the DeFrees Family Memorial Fund, and the Conarro and Sokolski Family Foundations. In the last year, membership and programming expanded in Northern Chautauqua County thanks to a grant

from the Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation and support from National Audubon. Lundin also recognized the continuing support of the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation and the Ralph C. Sheldon Foundation. The latter has provided funding to create a new constituent management program that will be the first of its kind in the area. Board Chair John Beard observed, “Whether you bring a kid to day camp, or walk the trails, or attend Birds of Prey Day, this name -- Audubon Community Nature Center -- will ring true to you. It’s the right name for the place you love."
Pierre Chagnon, Vice-Chair for Strategic Planning, said that ACNC Board of Directors, staff, and volunteers have been arduously developing and refining the Strategic Plan and its seven goals over the past three years. He noted that the day’s event commemorates the accomplishment of perhaps the most difficult goal: determining the identity and branding for the organization. In addition to staff and board members, the unveiling was attended by Warren County Commissioner Jeff Eggleston, Chautauqua County Executive Vince Horrigan, and representatives from the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation, Community Foundation of Warren County, Ralph C. Sheldon
Foundation, and Jamestown Renaissance Corporation. The ACNC’s slogan is now “The connection begins with you.” Its refined Mission Statement is “Audubon Community Nature Center builds and nurtures connections between people and nature by providing positive outdoor experiences, opportunities to learn about and understand the natural world, and knowledge to act in environmentally responsible ways.” Its Vision Statement is “Audubon Community Nature Center builds and nurtures connections between people and nature.” You can visit the Audubon Community Nature Center’s new website at auduboncnc.org.

AAUW and JCC To Host “The Hunting Ground” Contributed Article AAUW
The Jamestown Branch of the American Association of University Women (AAUW) and Jamestown Community College will host a screening of “The Hunting Ground” on Tuesday, Nov. 15, at 7 p.m. on the JCC campus in the Student Union of the Hamilton Collegiate Center. The screening is a collaboration with the AAUW/JCC Women’s Issues Committee. The event is open to the public. Afterward if attendees wish to stay, the viewers of the film will break into groups to consider issues and questions that the film raises. “The Hunting Ground” presents multiple students who allege they were sexually assaulted at their college campuses, and that college administrators either ignored them or required them to navigate a complex academic bureaucracy to have their claims addressed. The film finds that many college officials were more concerned with minimizing rape statistics for their universities than with the welfare of the students and contains interviews with college administrators who state they were pressured into suppressing rape cases. The film chiefly criticized actions (or lack thereof) by university administrations, including Harvard, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Amherst College, and Notre Dame, but it also examines fraternities such as Sigma Alpha Epsilon.
The narrative features Andrea Pino and Annie Clark, students at the University of North Carolina, who became campus anti-rape activists after being assaulted. In response to what they saw as an inadequate response from the university, they filed a Title IX complaint against The University of North Carolina on January 16, 2013 (along with three other students) and co-founded the group End Rape on Campus. “The Hunting Ground” also includes testimony from male victims of sexual assault. Producer Amy Ziering stated the filmmakers "felt it was important to show men and women. For men it's often harder to speak up because there is a social stigma associated with rape. Many male victims were feeling ashamed." The filmmakers also contend that most rapes are committed by a small number of repeat offenders. Director Kirby Dick stated that less than eight percent of the population is responsible for more than ninety percent of all sexual assaults. Producer Amy Ziering said that "our failure as a society to apprehend perpetrators leaves criminals at large who are savvy and experienced, and able to continue to commit these crimes with impunity." On December 1, 2015, "The Hunting Ground" was shortlisted for an Academy Award for Best Feature Documentary AAUW advances equity for women and girls through advocacy, education, philanthropy and research.

BLB Raises $1,825 for Hospice Contributed Article Squirrel Hill Consulting
For the second year, employees and volunteers for Bahgat & Laurito-Bahgat, CPAs and BLB Insurance Agency served up chicken dinners on October 22 in the Fredonia Village Square. 458 chicken dinners prepared by Weidner BBQ, of Eden, NY raised a total of $1,825 in support of the programs at Chautauqua Hospice & Palliative Care. Despite selling 95 more dinners this year, some walkup customers had to be turned away hungry due to the popularity of the event. “It was a fun day and I want to thank our employees, volunteers and the many people who supported this wonderful event," said B&LB Managing Director, Sham Bahgat. "The Village and Police Department were very cooperative and we couldn't have been successful without their help." Many people and organizations make the event successful including S.

Eventz by Scott Donates to CCHS Contributed Article Eventz by Scott
A check for $1,000 was recently presented to the Chautauqua County Humane Society from Scott Mekus, owner of Eventz by Scott and director of The Haunting at the Mall. This portion of the proceeds from this year’s The Haunting at the Mall haunted house in Lakewood was given to CCHS to provide additional medical care for the animals at the shelter. “We are so honored to be involved with Scott Mekus and The Haunting at the Mall,” said Hannah Raynor, Director of Community Relations at CCHS. “Scott is a great advocate for our organization as he continuously supports CCHS and we are very thankful for that. What a great thing for families to be able to get out and enjoy Halloween festivities while supporting a local nonprofit at the same time.” The Haunting at the Mall, which is made up of over 100 community volunteers donating their time and talents, recently concluded their fourth year in operation on October 29 and will be back in 2017 with a new haunt. This year’s Fear Fest IV haunt depicted a scary/horror movie from the past and present in each room/area. “Our local animal shelter does amazing things,” said Mekus. “I am truly excited to be able to give back to a great organization that cares about the special animals in our community. This is our fourth year donating to the Chautauqua County Humane Society

Southern Tier Xpress To Host ‘Mustache Night’ Contributed Article Tiffany MacCallum
The Southern Tier Xpress will help bring awareness to men’s health with ‘Mustache Night’ at their Nov. 18 game against Pittsburgh at Northwest Arena (formerly Jamestown Savings Bank Arena). The night goes with the “No Shave November” theme that many in the hockey world abide by. The Xpress has a history of highlighting different local charities and this season is no different. Southern Tier Brewery will sponsor an event to benefit St. Susan’s Kitchen on Jan. 20 and another that will raise funds for Love, Inc. All three of those events, including this Mustache Night, will feature various local venders. This one will be focused on men’s (and women’s) health care products. DoTerra, Anytime Fitness (David Dix), Plexus, Dorian’s Plus Salon and Pure Haven Essentials will all be set up on the track surrounding the rink. As an added fundraiser, LuLaRoe consultant Tiffany MacCallum will have a booth set up and has gotten the company, based in California, to match the donation of the sales for the evening. MacCallum has a son that plays on the U14 development team and has organized the three fundraising nights. In addition to MacCallum’s LuLaRoe, sponsors for the event are Nicole Mason from It’s Your Day, Let’s Make It Beautiful Inc. as well as Brian Ramm and Travis Sanders of the Southern Tier Xpress team. The puck drops at 7 p.m. but the doors open at 6 p.m. for some early fun. In addition to the spectacular vendors, there will be a photo booth with fun for fun mustache pictures, raffle baskets and a “pin the mustache on the man” where kids can earn great prizes. The event will help several different organizations. Ten percent of the proceeds from the raffle as well as $1 from each admission ticket will be given to the Alex Foulk Memorial Fund. Alex was a local hockey player who recently died as a result of a heroin overdose. His mom, Kim Carlson, has become very involved in our community with raising funds for drug rehabilitation housing. More information on the Alex Foulke Fund can be found at alex44.org. Another 10 percent of the money raised will go to the U14 development hockey team, coached by Brian Ramm and Travis Sanders.

Shults Joins Jamestown Christmas Parade, Supports BWB Food Drive Contributed Article Jamestown Renaissance Corporation
Shults Auto Group has been announced as the official transportation of Santa Claus at the Gift Exchange Christmas Parade and Holiday Celebration scheduled for Friday, December 2, in downtown Jamestown. Shults will provide transportation for Santa Claus through the holiday parade to City Hall as well as co-host a food drive that evening. “This is the third year in a row that Shults Auto Group has provided transportation for Santa Claus in our annual downtown parade,” said Edwin Rodriguez Jr., events and marketing associate for the Jamestown Renaissance Corporation. “Their attention to detail, creativity, and support of our downtown events means a lot to us and the greater Jamestown community. We always look forward to seeing what Shults will do next,” said Rodriguez. Shults Auto Group creates 3-5 custom parade entries using vehicles available for sale or lease through their network of dealerships. Aside from their involvement in the parade itself, Shults Auto Group is also partnering with Buffamante, Whipple, Buttafaro, PC, to collect non-perishable foods and canned goods the night of the parade as part of the BWB’s “Together We Can” food drive challenge. “Our community has been so gracious supporting many different initiatives throughout the year. We partnered with BWB this year to bring awareness to our communities support to fight hunger across Chautauqua County,” said Matthew Kahm, vice president of marketing for Shults Auto Group. “We encourage everyone who is attending the parade to bring one canned food item to support our local food banks. Let’s show the entire community how we can come together during the holidays and make sure everyone has a warm meal on the table,” said Kahm. Community members interested in supporting the initiative can donate their items two different ways the night of the parade. Donated food items will be collected by Shults Auto Group and BWB employees at the end of the parade as Santa Claus makes his way through the parade route. Donated food items will also be collected outside the BWB building lobby at 201 W. Third Street. Food collected during the drive will be donated to Jamestown’s Salvation Army

food pantry. The “Together We Can” food drive challenge has been an on-going initiative for several years at the BWB accounting offices in Olean and Jamestown. The food drive started when employees donated bags of food that filled an office cubicle and continues to grow each year. “We hope that this event not only brings awareness to this important need in our community but also serves as an easy way for people to donate,” said Ryanne John, administrative manager for Buffamante, Whipple, Buttafaro, PC. Office clients, friends, and other businesses are now participating in the event and it is because of their generosity that the firm is now loading its lobby during Jamestown’s parade. Now in its sixth year, “Together We Can” has collected nearly 60,000 pounds of food for area food pantries. After Santa Claus makes his way through town, his arrival at City Hall will signal the beginning of the
parade’s annual fireworks display. After the fireworks have ended, Santa Claus will make his way to the Jamestown YMCA for Santa’s Family Workshop. The event runs from 7-9:00 pm and includes ornament decorating, face painting, holiday themed karaoke, pizza and refreshments, a visit with Santa Claus, and more. Cost to attend Santa’s Family Workshop is $1 per person. Children under 2 are free.

A Hearty Italian Dinner: Beef Cannelloni and Wine Contributed Article StatePoint
This fall, be inspired by the warm, welcoming style of Italian entertaining: turn to the kitchen, the heart of the home. “Italian gatherings are relaxing and fun, so don’t worry about décor or timing the main course to the minute guests arrive,” says Emilia Nardi, owner of the award-wining Brunello producer Tenute Silvio Nardi winery of Montalcino in Tuscany. “It is about bringing family and friends together to have a good time. Dinners should be a joy for both the guests and the hosts.” An avid cook and host, Emilia Nardi recommends having the wine and appetizers ready for when guests arrive. Wine should be opened to breathe. A Caprese salad of freshly harvested ingredients is a hearty selection. A charcuterie board, while simple to prep, will keep guests appeased as the main course cooks. Pair these delicious bites with a structured wine. For the main course, Emilia Nardi, suggests taking a page from her family cookbook with this recipe for Beef Cannelloni: Pasta Ingredients: • 4 eggs • 2 3/4 cups flour • 2 pinches of salt • 2 tsp of extra virgin olive oil Pasta Instructions: Add to mixer. Knead by hand for 10 minutes and then cover in olive oil and wrap in saran wrap. Let it rest for one hour. Spread it out by hand and cut it in a square (around 15cm per 15cm). Mixture and Sauce Ingredients: • 4 cups of tomato pasta sauce • 2 large onions, finely chopped • 1 celery stalk in big chops

3 carrots in big chops 6 Tbsp. of extra virgin olive oil 1 lb. of lean beef chops 2/3 lb. of lean pork chops 1/2 lb. gr turkey breast chops 1/2 tsp of nutmeg 2 cups of grated parmigiana cheese 4 1/3 cups béchamel sauce 1/2 a lemon grated peel Aromatic bunch made of rosemary, sage and parsley, tied together. Instructions: • Cover the pan with olive oil to brown the onions. Add the meat, carrots, celery, the aromatic bunch and hot tomato sauce. Add salt and pepper.

Cook over low heat for one hour. Remove the aromatic bunch and celery. Then remove carrots and meat and put it into the mixer, adding béchamel sauce, nutmeg, lemon peel and parmigiana. Mix it well. In boiling water, let a square of pasta be briefly immersed in the water and then put it on a rag. Put the mixture in the middle for the length of the pasta square and roll it up. In a baking tray, add béchamel sauce and tomato passata, lay down the cannelloni on it, one beside the other and then cover again with béchamel, tomato sauce, and sprinkle with parmigiana. Bake for 40 minutes at medium-
high temperature. She recommends pairing the dish with the Tenute Silvio Nardi Rosso di Montalcino 2014 (SRP: $25.99), a fruitforward medium-bodied wine with a velvety texture or the Brunello di Montalcino 2011 (SRP $68.99), a fullbodied wine that offers intense aromas and flavors of red berries offset by notes of leather and incense. More information about the Tenute Silvio Nardi winery, which produces finely rendered Brunellos that highlight the specific terroir of the plots where they are grown, can be found at tenutenardi. com. This autumn, keep guests full and happy with Italian food and drink that befits the season!

Pumpkin Lasagna By Katy Wise Contributing Writer
It's time to start planning Thanksgiving menus! That means time for some new fall dessert recipes and side dishes that can feed a crowd. All political banter aside, let's be grateful this holiday (and all the time) that we live in a country where we are even allowed to vote. Where we can post our opinions on Facebook and not get arrested. Go to church, or choose not to go to church. To choose where we work or go to school. Seriously guys, it could be so much worse. Instead of abusing our privileges and making people feel bad for having their own beliefs, let's love people and learn the art of disagreement without being disagreeable. And make this dessert for somebody. This is an excellent way to not argue about politics. Just saying... Here is one of the desserts that I plan on having at our thanksgiving table this year. That is unless I find an even better dessert between now and then. Which is entirely possible. Especially when it comes to fall desserts. Has anyone else noticed just
how versatile pumpkins, apples and cinnamon can be? So many options, not enough time. Or enough room on the table for that matter. You should also know that there are multiple versions of this recipe. They all look good. If you did a search for 'pumpkin lasagna,' you would probably have at least five different results pop up. Also, this is totally not low fat or calorie friendly. Let's remember that it's a thanksgiving recipe, and not an everyday treat. Without further ado, here's your next thanksgiving favorite!
INGREDIENTS • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened • 1/4 c. sugar • 2 c. heavy cream, divided • 2 c. milk • 3 small packages vanilla pudding mix • 1 c. pumpkin puree • 1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice • 3 tbsp. powdered sugar • 10 graham cracker sheets • 1/4 cup jarred caramel • Optional - pecans for garnish DIRECTIONS • In the bowl of an electric

mixer, beat cream cheese and ¼ cup sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Slowly add in 1 1/2 cups heavy cream and beat until stiff peaks form. In another medium bowl, beat milk, pudding mix, pumpkin, and pumpkin pie spice until well-mixed and thick. (Start with 1 1/2 cups milk and beat until it's the consistency of a pudding—if it's too thick, continue to add the rest of the milk.) Make sweetened whipped cream by beating the remaining heavy cream with the powdered sugar until soft peaks form.

Layer lasagna: Spread a thin layer of cream cheese mixture in a 9"-x-13" baking dish. Top with a layer of graham crackers. Add half the pudding mixture and top with a layer of half the cream cheese mixture. Drizzle with caramel and repeat. Finish with a layer of sweetened whipped cream. • Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours and up to overnight. • Drizzle with caramel and garnish with pecans before serving.

Fredonia To Offer Six Performances of ‘The Man Who Came to Dinner’ Contributed Article Fredonia
There’s no place like home for the holidays – that is unless you can manage to take over someone else’s abode. That’s the situation that arises in the American comedy “The Man Who Came to Dinner,” which is the next offering in the Walter Gloor Mainstage Series at the State University of New York at Fredonia. This Fredonia Department of Theatre and Dance production runs for one week only, with six performances from Nov. 30 to Dec. 4 in Rockefeller Arts Center’s Marvel Theatre. “The Man Who Came to Dinner” is a comedy in three acts written by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman. It premiered on Broadway in October 1939. Set at Christmas time in the 1930s, “The Man Who Came to Dinner” finds famous radio personality Sheridan Whiteside being invited to dinner at the home of a rich factory owner. Before he enters the house, Whiteside falls and hurts his hip and ends up staying at the home to recover. He consequently terrorizes the lives of everyone in the house. The Mainstage production is directed by Theatre and Dance faculty member James Ivey, whose recent department credits include “Six Characters in Search of an Author,” and “Balm in Gilead.” Ivey thinks the “The Man Who Came to Dinner” features “some of the best comic writing of its day.” “Hart and Kaufman had already collaborated on ‘Once in a Lifetime’ and ‘You Can’t Take It With You’ by the time this play came to Broadway for its nearly three-year run,” he said. “The lasting and enduring power of this great comedy is the colorful array of characters, many of which are based upon real personalities of the day. The central character of Sheridan Whiteside is based upon theater critic and radio personality Alexander Woollcott who would eventually play the role in a touring road company. Other characters represent Noel Coward, Gertrude
The cast of the Department of Theatre and Dance production of “The Man Who Came to Dinner” includes, from left, Tom Loughlin as Sheridan Whiteside, Gretchen Martino as Maggie Cutler, Josh Carey as Bert Jefferson and Carly Dieck as Lorraine Sheldon.
Lawrence and Harpo Marx who were all contemporaries of Woollcott and the two playwrights.” Theatre and Dance Chairman Tom Loughlin is featured in the role of Sheridan Whiteside. “Perhaps the most compelling reason to come see this delightful family-friendly play is to see Tom Loughlin play the title character as he takes the Marvel stage for the last time as a performer,” Ivey said. “Professor Loughlin will conclude his long career at Fredonia by turning his talents to the curmudgeonly character of Whiteside.” Loughlin, who has taught at Fredonia since 1988 and has served as theatre department chair since 2010, will step down at the end of the fall semester. Ivey said additional highlights of the Mainstage production include scenery designed by student Brian McMullen and faculty member Czerton Lim and
the period costumes by faculty member Dixon Reynolds. “The beautiful scenery, designed by Brian McMullen and Czerton Lim, is alone worth the price of admission and the period costumes of Dixon Reynolds will complement and dazzle the audience with fashions of the late 1930s,” Ivey said. There are also cameo performances by Ralph Blasting, dean of the College of Visual and Performing Arts, as the Expressman and Ivey as Banjo. In addition, 28 students have roles in the play. “The audience should be put in the holiday mood since the play is set at Christmastime and concludes on
Christmas morning,” Ivey said. “The play is ultimately about forgiveness and the healing of a broken heart so the audience should leave the theater with a renewed faith in humanity while having a hearty laugh-filled evening.” Dates and performance times are Wednesday, Nov. 30 and Thursday, Dec. 1 through Saturday, Dec. 3 at 7:30 p.m. There will be 2 p.m. matinées on Saturday, Dec. 3 and Sunday, Dec. 4. This Walter Gloor Mainstage event is presented as part of the Lake Shore Savings Season. Tickets are available through the Campus Ticket Office in the Williams Center, by phone at 6733501 or online at fredonia.edu/tickets.

Roger Tory Peterson prints will be on display in the Prendergast Library Art Gallery Nov. 18 through Dec. 16. The signed, limited-edition color prints portray ordinary birds such as robins and cardinals as well as less common subjects like the gyrfalcon and bald eagle in their natural habitats. The prints were donated to the library in the 1980s by former Jamestown residents. Peterson was a Jamestown native who developed his interest in the natural world during his youth. He became a renowned ornithologist and traveled widely to observe and record many bird species and write or lecture about them. Peterson is said to have considered himself foremost as an artist, with his works described as “poems in paint about nature.” Library hours to view the prints are 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Monday through

Cinema Series to Screen “The Beatles: Eight Days a Week – The Touring Years”
Contributed Article
Fredonia Opera House
The next feature film in the Opera House Cinema Series is the documentary “The Beatles: Eight Days a Week The Touring Years.” It will be screened on Sat., Nov. 12, and Tues., Nov. 15, at 7:30 p.m. Directed by Ron Howard, the film documents the first part of The Beatles’ career (1962-1966) – the period in which they toured and captured the world’s acclaim. Howard’s film explores how John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr came together to become the extraordinary phenomenon, The Beatles. It chronicles their inner workings – how they made decisions, created their music and built their collective career together – all the while, exploring The Beatles’ unique musical gifts and their remarkable, complementary personalities. In addition, the film screening includes an exclusive 30-minute remastered performance of The Beatles’ Shea Stadium concert. This will not be included in the DVD when it is released later this month. G. Allen Johnson, in the San Francisco Chronicle, calls the film “a must for any fan!” Dave Calhoun, in Time Out magazine, calls it “sparky, moving and funny!” Paul de Barros in the Seattle Times, says “using home-movie footage in hotel rooms, fly-on-the-wall tape
from the studio control room, Howard's film often succeeds in making you feel it all from the four lads' astonished point of view.” Peter Travers, in Rolling Stone, says “Howard’s film rightly keeps coming back to the music and the band's delight in making it. Good move. It truly is a joy forever.” Unrated, “The Beatles” runs two hours, 17 minutes. The Opera House Cinema Series is sponsored by Lake Shore Savings Bank. Tickets are available at the door for $7 (adults), $6.50 (seniors & Opera House members) and $5 (students) the night of each screening. A book of 10 movie passes is available for $60 at the door or online at www.fredopera.org. For more information, call the Opera House Box Office at 716-679-1891. The Opera House is equipped with individualized closed captioning headsets for the deaf as well as with assistive listening headsets for the hearingimpaired. Simply request one from any usher or Opera House staff member. Headset funding provided by Robert & Marilyn Maytum, the John Ben Snow Memorial Trust, the Dunkirk-Fredonia Lions Club, and by a grant from Theatre Development Fund’s TAP Plus program in partnership with the New York State Council on the Arts. The 1891 Fredonia Opera House is a member-supported not-for-profit performing arts center located in Village Hall in downtown Fredonia. For a complete schedule of events, visit www. fredopera.org.

Fredonia | Jamestown
By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
The Fredonia Blue Devils women’s basketball team is coming off its most successful season in the program’s history. The 2015-16 squad finished with a sparkling 19-8 record – a win total that was two more than the previous record. It’s going to be a tough task to repeat or exceed that number, but head coach Linda Hill-MacDonald is confident that this year’s team is built for success. “It’s always fun to get started with a new group,” Hill-MacDonald shared. “Developing that chemistry is an enjoyable part of what we do as coaches. There’s a level of excitement whenever you start a new season.” The team graduated three seniors from last year’s team. Gone are Sammy Vallarini, Katie Devine and Sabrina Macaulay. Macaulay poured in 1,010 points in her career – good for 9th on Fredonia’s all-time list. There’s plenty of returning talent to make up for those losses, though. Right behind Macaulay on the school’s scoring list is senior guard Alexis Cheatham – who begins the season with 926 career points. Cheatham was named to the SUNYAC Women’s Basketball All-Conference Second Team last season after averaging 12.6 points and 3.4 assists per game. Cheatham will be one of be one of a quartet of seniors of this year’s team along with Jamie Curry, Kathryn Halloran and Khee Nance. “You always hope your leaders will be vocal,” Hill-MacDonald noted. “I certainly hope they have a level of confidence. Sometimes it’s hard to get young women to speak up to one another, but I think we

have a good blend of senior leadership.” Another key piece to the 2016-17 team will be sophomore forward Jenna Einink. The Chautauqua Lake alumna was the SUNYAC Rookie of the Year following a freshman campaign that saw her average 11.8 points and 7.1 rebounds per game. She played in all 27 games, including a pair of starts, and set the Blue Devils record with 54 blocked shots. With a probable increase in playing time, it seems like a record Einink could break again this season. “Jenna is a tremendous athlete,” HillMacDonald said of Einink. “She just has a natural feel for the game. She’s smart and she’s well-schooled in the fundamentals.” Einink is one of three Chautauqua County residents playing for the Blue Devils this year. Nance is a Dunkirk native who played two seasons of softball at Mercyhurst before coming to Fredonia to play both basketball and softball.
“Khee was out of basketball for two years, but she’s getting back into the swing of things,” Hill-MacDonald said of the former Lady Marauder. “She’s a two-sport athlete and continues to grow and get her skill level back after a two-year hiatus. We expect great things from Khee this year.” The third Chautauqua County athlete is Alisha Szumigala of Forestville. The 5-foot-11 forward is a junior transfer from JCC, where she starred for two seasons. “I’m really enjoying watching Alisha become accustomed to the system,” HillMacDonald continued. “She’s a good athlete and she’s going to make outstanding contributions.” The three Chautauqua County alumni aren’t just filling up the roster, these are going to be key players on this Fredonia team. “It’s pretty cool,” Einink said of playing for her ‘hometown’ team. “One of the major things I like is that I get people from home that come and see me play. It feels homier to me.” CONTINUED ON PAGE 29

What I really wanted to do with this space was look at some of baseball’s “other” droughts. Certainly no team waited 108 years for a championship, but there are plenty of fan bases in which a large majority have never sniffed a title. You can’t tell me that a 20-year old Cubs fan has had more heartache than a 40-year old Mariners fan. So here are the remaining notable droughts in Major League Baseball: CLEVELAND INDIANS (Title drought: 68 years) Here’s the obvious one. The Indians had three chances to close this year’s World Series and came up short each time. They were a powerhouse in the 1990s behind Jim Thome, Omar Visquel, Manny Ramirez, etc. Prior to this year, their most heart-breaking loss was in 1997. The team beat the Yankees and Orioles to advance to the World Series, where they blew a ninth-inning lead in Game 7. They made the playoffs several times in the seasons following, but couldn’t get close to a title. WASHINGTON NATIONALS (Title drought: 47 years) This is an odd case because the former Expos franchise has only been in Washington since 2005 and technically isn’t the same franchise as the one that CONTINUED ON PAGE 30 WHY JUST ADVERTISE?

BUILT FOR SUCESS, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 27 “It’s a good program,” Szumigala added. “The girls are awesome. It’s a great school academically, too.” For all three of them, it’s refreshing to put aside those old rivalries and join forces. Einink’s Lady Thunderbirds and Szumigala’s Lady Hornets clashed often back in high school. “I definitely wasn’t friends with them,” Szumigala said with a laugh. “It was always a good time.” “I remember them more from volleyball than basketball,” Einink shared. “It’s good to know each other from that standpoint. It’s cool to have them on my team now.” If nothing else, the contributions of Nance, Einink and Szumigala show the talent level is extremely high here in Chautauqua County. “There are some more really good athletes coming down the pike,” Hill-MacDonald said with obvious excitement. “Because of recruiting rules I can’t talk about who we are recruiting, but we continue to recruit and look for talent right here in our backyard.” Aiding in the recruitment of local talent is longtime Silver Creek girls basketball coach Rich Norton, who has served as Hill-MacDonald’s assistant coach during her four-year tenure. “He’s the lead recruiter for the program because he knows so many people in this area,” she shared. “He’s such a personable guy and he’s helped me a lot.”
Hill-MacDonald herself brings a history of success to the Blue Devils program. She coached at the Division I level at Temple and coached the Owls to a program-record 166 wins. She’s served as the head coach at the professional level with the WNBA Cleveland Rockers as well as several other Division I programs. “I’ve had really great coaches in the past,” Einink said, “but having her experience and everything that she’s done throughout her career is amazing. I really look up to her.” “It’s definitely different,” Szumigala added. “You don’t always get that level of experience in your coaches. She knows what she’s talking about. I’m excited to learn more from her and get better.” The Blue Devils kick off their season on Nov. 15 against Penn State Behrend in the Steele Hall Fieldhouse. “All of them,” Hill-MacDonald joked when asked which games are circled on the calendar. “Geneseo is always a big game. They’re a tremendous rival. Brockport has become a rival. Buff State is right up the road. Those are certainly games that we look forward to playing. It seems to bring out the fans and it brings out the best in the players. “It’s going to be a really enjoyable year.” Stefan Gestwicki is the sports editor of the Chautauqua Star.

THOSE “OTHER” WORLD SERIES DROUGHTS, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 28 resided in the country’s capital when it won the city’s last baseball championship in 1924. Whether you’re talking about the city as a whole or the former Expos that were formed in 1969, this team is way overdue for a World Series title. TEXAS RANGERS (Title drought: 56 years) If only Nelson Cruz could have caught that David Freese flyball, the Rangers wouldn’t be on this list at all. This is a franchise that has only made seven postseason appreances, but its fans have certainly experienced heartache. In 2010, the team advanced to its first World Series but lost to the Giants in five. In 2011, the team was literally one strike from winning the World Series, but blew a two-run lead in both the ninth and 10th innings of Game 6. Even in Game 7, the team jumped to a 2-0 lead before giving up six unanswered runs. It’s recent pain on top of decades of futility. HOUSTON ASTROS (Title drought: 55 years) This might be a good bet for the next long drought to be snapped as the Astros currently sport one of the game’s best young rosters. For many years, the Astros (formerly the Colt .45s) were hardly worth mentioning in Major League Baseball. The franchise didn’t get its first playoff win until 2004 and got swept in the World Series that year. They recently had a string of three straight 100-loss seasons. It can’t be easy to be an Astros fan, no doubt about it. SAN DIEGO PADRES (Title drought: 48 years) I’d forgive you if you had forgotten that the San Diego Padres were still a baseball team. They haven’t really done anything of note since become one of the Yankees’ many victims in the 1998 World Series. The Padres also made the World Series in 1984, where they lost to the Detroit Tigers. They haven’t made the playoffs since 2006 and have been buried in the standings for the past several seasons. As an added insult, they’re the only franchise that has never thrown a no-hitter. MILWAUKEE BREWERS (Title drought: 48 years) This isn’t a case of Game 7 losses or heartbreaking disappointment. This is a case of decades upon decades of terrible baseball. When they were still in the American League, the Brewers did advance to the World Series in 1982. Since coming over to the National League in 1998, the Brewers have one exactly one playoff series. Perhaps saddest of all is that there doesn’t appear to be any hope for the immediate future. This is a franchise with a ton of issues. SEATTLE MARINERS (Title drought: 40 years) The Mariners have had some of my generation’s greatest players. Ken Griffey, Jr. Alex Rodriguez. Edgar Martinez. Randy Johnson. Ichiro Suzuki. Felix Hernandez. They had one of the greatest regular seasons in baseball history with a record-typing 116 wins in 2001. Sadly, though, this is a franchise that has had a losing record in 27 of its 40 seasons and is one of only two teams to have never even played in a World Series (Nationals).
PITTSBURGH PIRATES (Title drought: 37 years) The “We Are Family” Pirates that took home the 1979 World Series were a magical bunch led by Hall of Famer Willie Stargell. The team had a nice run of division titles in the early 1990’s led by some guy named Barry Bonds. But after Sid Bream was called safe on a play at the plate in the 1992 NLCS, the Pirates went on an unparalleled losing skid. The franchise didn’t have a winning record for 20 years until the Pirates went to three straight N.L. wild card games (winning one). This might be another solid bet from this list to end their drought sooner rather than later. BALTIMORE ORIOLES (Title drought: 33 years) Their best chance during this drought was undone by a young kid named Jeffrey Maier. They’ve had some great teams during this dry spell, it just hasn’t all come together. For years now they’ve had the unfortunate task of playing in the same division as the Yankees and Red Sox, each of whom has won several titles since Baltimore’s in 1983. DETROIT TIGERS (Title drought: 32 years) As mentioned above, the Tigers last won a World Series in 1984 against the even more inept Padres. The Tigers have had some success in the past decade, reaching the World Series in both 2006 and 2012. Let’s also not forget their 2003 season in which the team’s absurd 43-119 record set the mark for most losses in American League history. They’ve had Rookies of the Year, MVPs, Cy Youngs and even a Triple Crown winner, but Tigers fans are yearning for that World Series championship. NEW YORK METS (Title drought: 30 years) The Mets’ last championship is one of the more memorable in history because of the Boston’s– or more accurately Bill Buckner’s — miscue. The Mets were swept in the Subway Series in 2000 and then lost again in 2015 to the Royals. So if the Mets keep up this pace of making the World Series once every 15 years or so, they might be a good bet to win the 2030 championship. That said, they certainly have the pitching to win one sooner than that. They just need some bats. LOS ANGELES DODGERS (Title drought: 28 years) This one is almost hard to believe that it’s been nearly my entire lifetime since the Dodgers have won a title. They’re seemingly always in contention and (at least recently) have had payrolls that are through the roof. They have won five rings since moving to LA in 1958, but for one of the game’s premier franchises, a nearly 30-year drought is noteworthy. Honorable Mention: Oakland Athletics (27 years), Cincinnati Reds (26 years) and Minnesota Twins (25 years) — Combined with the Dodgers, the World Series champions from 1988, 1989, 1990 and 1991 have not won one since.

Self-Proclaimed Expert Pics: Week 10 By Steafan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
Last week vs. spread: 5-8 (.384) Last week straight: 9-4 (.692) Season vs. spread: 56-56-2 (.500) Season straight: 69-45 (.605) Week 10 is upon us. Wait…Week 10? How did that happen? Didn’t the season just start? Several contenders are struggling (see, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Minnesota, Philadelphia, Denver) and the races are a jumbled mess. Will the picture become clearer after this week’s games or will the pool of mediocrity continue to grow? To the picks: BYE WEEK: Buffalo Bills, Detroit Lions, Indianapolis Colts, Oakland Raiders.
CLEVELAND BROWNS (0-9) at BALTIMORE RAVENS (4-4) Ugh. The Browns in primetime. Lovely. At least it’s a division game. In fairness, the Browns have actually been competitive in most of their games, but that 35-10 curb stomping at the hands of the Cowboys was downright ugly last week. Baltimore is technically in first place despite a plus-1 point differential. They haven’t beaten or lost to anyone by more than one score. Yet they’re 10-point favorites. I’m not buying it. PICK VS. SPREAD: Browns (+10). STRAIGHT PICK: Ravens.
GREEN BAY PACKERS (4-4) at TENNEESEE TITANS (4-5) It’s shocking that either, let alone both of these teams are anywhere near .500. The Packers have gotten stellar play from Aaron Rodgers the past three games, but don’t have the wins to show for it. This is the first of three straight
road games for the Pack. Eighth overall pick Jack Conklin has done an awesome job in stabilizing the Titans offensive line. He’ll have his hands full with Clay Matthews and Co. (if Matthews actually plays). PICK VS. SPREAD: Packers (-2.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Packers.
MINNESOTA VIKINGS (5-3) at WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM (4-3-1) Here are the Vikings’ point totals from each of the past three games (all losses): 10, 10, 16. That’s not going to get it done. Sam Bradford has just three touchdowns during the team’s three-game skid. Washington had a bye following its London trip and jumps right into the action with three games against NFC contenders. The Trent Williams suspension could be huge. PICK VS. SPREAD: Vikings (+2.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Vikings.
CHICAGO BEARS (2-6) at TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS (3-5) Something has to give in this one. The Bears are 0-4 on the road and the Bucs are 0-4 at home. Even with the rotating door at quarterback, the Bears are actually 12th in passing yards per game. Jay Cutler’s return was a shot in the arm and the bye could only help. Tampa Bay has given up 73 points in the past two games and has been torched through the air. Cutler could have a big day. PICK VS. SPREAD: Bears (even). STRAIGHT PICK: Bears.
KANSAS CITY CHIEFS (6-2) at CAROLINA PANTHERS (3-5) The Chiefs are now 17-3 in their past
20 games dating back to last season and including the playoffs. That’s the best record in the NFL over that stretch. They won last week with Nick Foles under center, but it looks like Alex Smith will be back for this one. Pass rush specialist Justin Houston could see the field for the first time, too. Cam Newton continues to get hit hard this season. He’s been sacked 21 times and faces a Chiefs team that includes Dee Ford (nine sacks). It should be a defensive battle. PICK VS. SPREAD: Chiefs (+3). STRAIGHT PICK: Chiefs.
ATLANTA FALCONS (6-3) at PHILADELPHIA EAGLES (4-4) Matt Ryan continues to put distance between himself and every other MVP contender with his stellar play. He’ll be up against a Philly defense that has been like Jekyll and Hyde this season. They’ve shut down offenses as potent as
Pittsburgh and then gave up four touchdown passes to Eli Manning and the Giants. The Falcons have scored 30+ points in three straight games. Expect that to continue. PICK VS. SPREAD: Falcons (even). STRAIGHT PICK: Falcons.
LOS ANGELES RAMS (3-5) at NEW YORK JETS (3-6) At this point it appears as if Case Keenum has compromising pictures of head coach Jeff Fisher. Why oh why are they not playing No. 1 overall pick Jared Goff? What do they have to lose? They’ve scored fewer than 10 points in back-to-back losses. They have games of 0, 9 and 13 points this season, too. The Jets are a wreck at quarterback, too, but that’s because they don’t have any real options besides Ryan “The Interception Machine” Fitzpatrick. CONTINUED ON PAGE 33

SELF-PROCLAIMED EXPERT PICKS: WEEK 10, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 32 PICK VS. SPREAD: Jets (-1.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Jets.
DENVER BRONCOS (6-3) at NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (4-4) Who could have predicted a month ago that the Saints would be favored in this game? Yet after Trevor Semien’s outrageously terrible performance (especially in the first half) in the Oakland game, it’s hard to pick Denver. Von Miller did regain the league sack lead, though. Drew Brees is playing some outstanding football and the saints have won four of their last five. PICK VS. SPREAD: Saints (-1). STRAIGHT PICK: Saints.
HOUSTON TEXANS (5-3) at JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS (2-6) It’s hard to say that a game involving a 5-3 team is pointless, but does anyone really expect Houston to contend for an AFC championship against the likes of New England, Denver or Oakland? The Texans would be lucky to beat lowly Jacksonville this week. Houston is already 0-3 on the road and 5-0 at home. The Jags got yet another incon-
sistent performance from Blake Bortles last week, but the improved ground game perhaps gives the offense some hope. PICK VS. SPREAD: Jaguars (+1.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Jaguars.
MIAMI DOLPHINS (4-4) at SAN DIEGO CHARGERS (4-5) The Dolphins have won three straight behind the strength of Jay Ajayi. The second-year runner is averaging over 6 yards per carry and has games of 204, 214 and 111 yards in his last three. It’s all Ajayi at this point. The Chargers have also been streaking behind a stud running back. Melvin Gordon just ripped off a 190-yard rushing day with 261 yards from scrimmage. Where would this team be without those lategame collapses early in the season? PICK VS. SPREAD: Chargers (-4). STRAIGHT PICK: Chargers.
DALLAS COWBOYS (7-1) at PITTBURGH STEELERS (4-4) The Cowboys have won seven straight, but did you realize their Week 1 loss was by just a single point? There was a bonehead play in there, too. This

team could easily be undefeated. Either way, Dak Prescott is enjoying life behind the game’s best offensive line. Speaking of that line, they’re going up against a Steelers unit that is dead last in the NFL in sacks. A hobbled Ben Roethlisberger is going to have his work cut out for him in this one. PICK VS. SPREAD: Cowboys (+2.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Cowboys.
SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS (1-7) at ARIZONA CARDINALS (3-4-1) The 49ers have lost seven in a row and sport the game’s worst run defense. They’ve allowed a 100-yard rusher in seven straight games. Taking on the dynamic David Johnson, that’s a streak that’s almost certain to keep going. The Cardinals have issues of their own, but this doesn’t seem like a game they could possibly lose. PICK VS. SRPREAD: Cardinals (-13.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Cardinals.
two teams to help. The end. Seriously though, this is a great matchup. Russell Wilson looked as healthy as he’s looked all year on Monday night. Tom Brady has been on fire since his return. The Patriots have had two weeks to get ready for this one and they’re at home. The Seahawks played on Monday and have to travel across the country. Good luck. PICK VS. SPREAD: Patriots (-7.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Patriots.
CINCINNATI BENGALS (3-4-1) at NEW YORK GIANTS (5-3) The Giants are coming off of a huge win. Eli Manning threw for four touchdowns and they jumped over the Eagles in the standings. They’re returning home and the crowd is going to be amped for this Monday Night Football game. The Bengals are historically awful in primetime (or the playoffs, of course), but this is a talented team coming off a bye and desperate for a win. It would be shocking if the Bengals didn’t come out and be über aggressive early on. PICK VS. SPREAD: Bengals (+2.5). STRAIGHT PICK: Bengals.

I didn’t play out of my mind or anything. I didn’t hole out from 150 yards for a fluke eagle. I didn’t even record any birdies. It was six pars and three bogeys. Simply solid golf. In fact, it seems so easy that it makes me feel bad that I couldn’t do it again. Tip: Don’t add up your score going into the last hole. All it does is put unnecessary pressure on you. By Stefan Gestwicki
The only other course I played enough times that averages could matter was Cassadaga Country Club. I played that one seven times, but for some reason I didn’t get up there after August 12. I’m not sure why as I really enjoy playing the course. It was a rollercoaster ride at CCC. I had a 40 and a pair of 41’s. That’s great. I had a (shield your eyes) 52. That’s my worst round in about three years. Unsurprisingly, No. 9 was my best hole on the course with an average of 5.4 on the lone par 5 on the course. That included three pars and a birdie in seven attempts. In case you haven’t noticed by now, par is usually the goal for me, not birdie. Those are more of a happy accident. Some day I’ll be good enough at golf to go birdie chasing. Again, I have to mention my worst hole at CCC after bragging about my best. The worst was No. 3. I was able to record a pair of pars in seven attempts, but I also had a pair of triple bogeys. It’s not so much the gully that gets me in trouble, it’s the giant tree cluster on the left. I always just try to push my drive out to the opening on the right, but I have a chronic problem of landing behind those blasted trees on the left. The green is pretty tricky on No. 3, too. I wasn’t surprised at all the see that was my worst hole on the course. All in all, it was a really fun golf season. I got to play with my brother a few times. I played with my brother-in-law in West Virginia. I teed it up several times with my childhood best friend whom I hadn’t spoken with in a decade. My cousin Nick caught the bug and we were able to go together quite a bit. He’ll almost certainly be getting a membership next year. Maybe next year I’ll keep track of how many different people I play with because as much as I love the competition against myself and the course, the social aspect of golf just can’t be beat. It’s reached the point where I’m not entirely sure what I did with my friends before I started golfing. I’m not putting the cap on the 2016 quite yet because I saw people playing golf on Christmas Eve last year. The clubs aren’t in the basement. Anyone want to play? As always, golf is great. Go get some. Stefan Gestwicki is the sports editor of the Chautauqua Star. Comments on this article or any other can be sent to stefang@starmg.co.
