Public viewings of some of the most innovative and inspiring videos that creatively captured outdoor adventure activities most of us only dream to experience will take place next month in the City of Jamestown.

The Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour will be returning to Jamestown for the tenth consecutive year on Wednesday, April 9 as part of a special event hosted by the Roger Tory Peterson Institute of Natural History

at the Reg Lenna Civic Cen-ter at 116 East Third Street in Jamestown.

Excitement for this year's stop in Jamestown is building amongst past participants and attendees, many of whom are avid outdoor adventurers.

“These fi lms motivate you and engage their audience so that they immediately want to get up and get out-side and enjoy the great outdoors," said Bill Scher-man, who is serving as the volunteer coordinator of the event in Jamestown. "There are some tremen-dously entertaining fi lms

about all sorts of subjects, including skiing, climbing, kayaking and bike riding. Some of them are only about four to fi ve minutes in length while some are a bit longer, but they really all do engage the viewer and get them inspired."

Scherman is now in his fourth year coordinating the Jamestown festival, an event that he says is open to anyone who has any type of interest in the great outdoors, adven-ture sports or enjoy watching awe-inspiring fi lms.

"We get people here from all over, not just Jamestown and

Chautauqua County," said Scherman. "We have had people came from Bradford, Pennsylvania and the Olean area and Erie, Pennsylva-nia and different sections of Erie County. The word has spread and we get great reviews from people."

As part of a way to pay for hosting the event, a Chi-nese Auction will be held for the second consecutive year, with local businesses and other entities from the Jamestown community step-ping up and donating vari-ous prizes for the auction.

2 CHAUTAUQUA STARFRIDAY, MARCH 28, 2014

By Scott WiseEditor

As my children grow, I’ve become more and more sensitive to what they watch on the tele-vision. We try to not be legalistic about things, but as a parent it is my job to help them fi lter what goes through their eyes until they’re old enough to take respon-sibility for it themselves.

Unfortunately, that fi lter is something that many adults fail to recognize at all. We will not allow music or television in our house that represents values contradictory to our own. We will not allow certain people to be alone with our children, and we will not allow our children to go some places when we are not sure what happens there.

As someone who ap-preciates education, I often do a lot of re-search before delving into anything. Whether

it’s buying a car, repair-ing something, getting married or raising chil-dren. Unfortunately, most of the parenting advice that I’ve read, I’ve had to throw out the window.

Being a parent, there has been one resource I look to for my parent-ing advice – the Bible. You can throw out this article now, if you’d like, but I’d take a book that’s stood the test of time for two thousand years over some over-educated scientist who studies how children relate to candy.

I read about a study that tried to determine how successful children would be in life by one factor- their self-con-trol. They were placed in a room with a bowl of candy, and told that if they wanted to, they could eat the candy right away. But if they did, they could only have one piece. If they waited for 15 minutes, they could have two pieces. Supposedly, those that waited for 15 minutes proved they had what it takes to be successful in life.

It’s time we stop look-ing at children to see their successes and start looking at their parents. Every time I see an article about a child in

the news, the fi rst thing I’ll do is see what it says about the parenting.

Recently, there was a 15-year-old girl in Min-nesota who successfully sued her school. She’d received detention for some derogatory posts she’d made, at a home computer, about her teacher. School leaders made her give up her password so they could see her comments, and furthermore discovered sexually explicit con-versations she’d been having with another boy at her school; and to my understanding, she was subsequently punished for both.

Should schools have a right to invade pri-vacy? Certainly not, especially for what takes place off school property. But it was the comments of the mother that made my eyes widen. “Shouldn’t the discipline be left to the parents?” Yes, absolutely. But what about when the parents fail to discipline?

I’m not saying in this case discipline wasn’t administered at home; I wasn’t there and I don’t know. But I can say from the vast majority of articles, stories and real-life experiences I’ve seen, discipline has

become a dirty word that most people know nothing about.

There is a new move-ment in our society to allow ‘free-parenting’; treating children as adults and letting them learn their mistakes for themselves. How incredibly selfi sh and foolish we’ve become. It is our responsibility as parents to administer discipline to our chil-dren, and to train them up to become produc-tive members of society.

We are not doing our nation any favors by being harboring fertil-ization, and leaving the growth of our children to chance. My children will be disciplined in the way that my wife and I have agreed is fi t, and they will grow to understand self-control, restraint, self-discipline and integrity. If you say, ‘Oh just wait and see, your kids are young. Talk to us when they’re teenagers.’

Fine. Like I said, my parenting book has worked for over 2,000 years. Look me up in 15 years, and we’ll see how it’s working then.

Parenting - A Lost Art

CHAUTAUQUA STARFRIDAY, MARCH 28, 2014 3

This week we are featuring “Tigger” and “Thelma”. Tigger is a one-year-old pit bull mix. He is a wonderful boy that is housetrained, crate trained and full of love. He is currently in a foster home and gets along great with their dog. He would be best in a home without cats. Thelma is a one-year-old Siamese seal point cat. She just came back from foster care where she raised her babies. Now she is ready for a home of her own. She is a lovely girl full of affection for her “purr-fect” owner. If you have a place in your heart for either of these pets, or any of the great pets looking for a second chance, stop in at the Adoption Center at 2825 Strunk Road, Jamestown. For more information or with questions, please call (716) 665-2209 ext. 0.

Geology, climate and market sustain the grape industry. The League of Women Voters of Chautauqua County will be hosting three presenters who will be exploring the grape industry along the shores of Lake Erie.

The league will be guests of the recently opened Grape Dis-covery Center, located at 8305 West Main Road in Westfi eld on Wednesday, April 9 at noon. Grape growers, food processors and other interested public are invited.

Luke Haggerty, viti-culturist, will explain research projects and how they help 840 grape farmers growing 30,000 acres of grapes in four counties in New York and Pennsylva-nia. The recipient of a master’s degree from the University of Min-nesota, Haggerty has a strong background in grape berry phenology. Last July, Mr. Haggerty became a team special-ist at the Cornell Lake Erie Research and Extension Laboratory in Portland, New York.

Second, we will hear

from Richard Erdle, a recently retired Welch executive who will address the economic impact of the grape industry. New York has 281 growers and over 9,700 acres of Concord vineyards in Chautau-qua County, the greater part of the Lake Erie Grape Region – the world’s largest and oldest Concord grape producing region.

Erdle was for 35 years the Director of Mem-ber Relations with National Grape Coop-erative (Welch’s). His area of responsibility was crop estimation and harvest. Erdle is a graduate of Silver Creek High School. His degree in pomol-ogy is from Cornell University.

Lastly, Andrew Du-fresne, an agricultural educator with New York’s Cornell Coop-erative Extension and Peace Corps, from which he retired after 25 years. He will share his knowledge of the lo-cal agriculture and pas-sion for the beauty of the region and its natu-ral envirionment as it related to the grape industry. Dufresne will discuss the geology and infl uence of the Ice Age in the formation of the landscape and layout of the fi rst Grape Escarp-ment. This extends 68 miles from Hanover to Harborcreek, Pa. Dufresne is a native of Vermont, receiving his bachelor’s degree from the Univer-sity of Vermont. He spent two years in the

Peace Corps in South America, and earned his Master’s Degree in Agricultural Econom-ics from West Virginia University. He is cur-rently working with Concord Grape Belt Heritage Association to develop the Grape Discovery Center in Westfi eld, New York; the center of the grape belt.

The public is invited to attend the catered lunch of a veggie wrap or a grilled chicken wrap with a side of fruit, a beverage bar and a desert. The cost of the luncheon is $15. Reservations may be sent to Diane Hofner, 7554 Prospect Sta-tion Road, Mayville, NY 14757 by April 2. Make checks payable to LWV of Chaut. Co. Those who wish to hear only the program portion are welcome to come at 1 p.m. Kindly call 716-672-4771 to be assured seating. You will be viewing several displays in the center and learning about the current environ-mental and economic impacts of the grape industry. A question and answer will follow the presentations.

Easter time is going to be here before we know it. Time to stock up on jelly beans that we don’t really need, and make the house look bright and festive (which after some of the spring cleaning tips we suggested recently, decorating a clean house will be even more fun!)

If you have some ‘littles’ in your life, decorating for this upcoming holiday can be extra fun. Kids love to create, and parents love to have kids who aren’t bored and ask-ing to watch a movie.

Don’t think that these ideas are just for kids, though! I know plenty of adults, myself included, who would have loads of fun mak-ing any one of these

things.

So grab one of your own kids, a niece or nephew, a grandchild and consider having a little craft get-together. Or fl y solo and spend some time experiment-ing with some of these ideas all your own. Either way, have fun!

• Coffee Filter Easter EggsMaterials needed: Coffee fi lters, scis-sors, water colors

Why buy window clings when you can make your own win-dow masterpieces?

Using scissors, cut fi lters into egg shapes and then decorate with watercolors. Remember that you aren’t limited to egg shapes! Any Easter or spring shape that you can cut out, you can create. Maybe a cross or some tulips?

Once painted, allow to

air dry or microwave for 30 seconds. Hang on your windows and you’re done!

• Stained Glass CrossesMaterials needed: Wax paper, tissue paper, Elmer’s glue, scissors, cardstock, paintbrush or pop-sicle stick

With the assistance of some ‘littles,’ either cut or tear different colors of tissue paper into assorted sizes. On a piece of waxed paper, cover half of the paper with white Elmer’s glue using a paintbrush or popsicle stick.

Once glue is spread, place tissue paper pieces on top, overlap-ping however you wish.

There’s no right or wrong way to overlap!

After half of the waxed paper is generously covered with tissue paper, spread glue on the other half of the waxed paper, then fold in half.

Your paper should now look like a tis-sue paper sandwich. Smooth out paper to remove any wrinkles and let dry. If possible, use a heavy book to set on top of the paper

to fl atten it.

Once dry, either cut into a cross shape or if you would prefer a sturdier cross, use cardstock. For the cardstock border, use either scissors or an Exacto craft knife to cut out a cross shape.

Once the cross-shaped window is cut, draw a thin line of glue around perimeter of cross shape. After making a glue line, press down onto wax paper and allow to dry.

Cut around each cross, making a thin border out of the cardstock

paper. Hang up your ‘stained glass’ in a well lit window and enjoy!

• Potato Stamp Easter EggsMaterials needed: potatoes, knife, acrylic or fi nger paint, paper

Cut potatoes in half, and cut designs into each potato half. Dip potatoes into different colors of acrylic paint and stamp onto paper to make Easter egg designs. That’s it!

Thanks for reading and as always, Happy Homemaking!

If you ask any of the Education Staff at the Audubon Center & Sanctuary to name some of their personal heroes, certainly Audu-bon trail guides will be on their lists.

“These folks are so generous in sharing their time and themselves for the important work of connecting children to nature,” says Audubon Program Director Jen-nifer Schlick. “Without these critically important volunteers, we wouldn’t be able to accommodate the more than 3,000 schoolchildren who visit every spring. And their impact lasts a LONG time!”

Audubon’s Education Staff invites you to be one of these vitally needed trail guides who assist with Discovery Walks during this busy season. While you take a walk in the woods, notice the flowers, watch a frog by the pond, and listen to the birds, you will be offer-ing a wonderful service and earning the staff’s great appreciation.

Those interested are invited to come to Audubon for the Trail Guide Training & Refresher on Thursday, April 10, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Audubon’s naturalists will teach you more about the trails, what it takes to lead a class of children along them,

and the natural history found there. After a brief presentation indoors about the protocols and procedures for a Dis-covery Walk, they will guide you along the most popular routes of the walks. They will share activities, information, and hints to make the walk go smoothly.

This program is appro-priate for both new and established trail guides.

A catered lunch will be provided midway through the program that includes a natu-ral history hike in the afternoon.

Participants are reminded to dress for the weather as most of the program will be outdoors.

To learn more about being a volunteer trail guide, visit www.trail-guidetraining.word-press.com.

Reservations are required by Monday, April 7: call (716) 569-2345, email info@

jamestownaudubon.org, or use the on-line form by following the links from Audubon’s home page at http://jamestownaudubon.org.

Audubon field trips are made possible in part by a grant from the Reg and Betty Lenna Fund of the Chautau-qua Region Commu-nity Foundation.

Audubon education programs are funded with support from the Carnahan Jackson Foundation, the Jessie Smith Darrah Fund, the Holmberg Foun-dation, the Hultquist Foundation, and the Johnson Foundation.

The Audubon Center & Sanctuary is at 1600 Riverside Road, one-quarter mile east of Route 62 between Jame-stown, New York, and Warren, Pennsylvania.

it’s trail Guide training time At Audubon

It takes the help of many trail guides for the Audubon Center & Sanctuary to be able to welcome more than 3,000 schoolchildren on field trips in the spring. On Thursday, April 10, Audubon’s education staff will offer training for these volunteers who are so critically important. On the Discovery Walk pictured here, a trail guide demonstrates that a little applause encourages the geese to move along.

For good or ill, a country can be transformed in a remarkably short time.

On April 4 at the Audubon Center & Sanctuary’s First Friday, Deb Lanni will discuss “Revisiting Peru: One Generation of Changes.”

Beginning at 11 a.m., Lanni will look at how global economics, ecotourism and resource extraction have changed Peru for better and for worse over a period of less than one generation.

Ms. Lanni will discuss how world demand for inexpensive fruit has led to deforestation

of riparian land, how ecotourism has enabled some protection of en-dangered ecosystems, and how the global demand for gold has put these same critical ecosystems in jeopardy.

The talk will be il-lustrated with pho-tographs and video, including footage of four species of macaws using clay licks along the Tambopata River.

Professor Lanni is the media arts program coordinator at Jame-stown Community Col-lege, where she teaches photography, video and multimedia storytell-ing. With a master’s degree in environmen-tal communication, she is committed to mak-

ing images and telling stories that increase awareness of both the wonder of the natural world and the problems that face it.

Following the program, coffee and tea will be provided for a BYO brown bag lunch. The fee for attending is $8 or $6 for Friends of the Nature Center. Reservations are not required.

The Audubon Center & Sanctuary is at 1600 Riverside Road, one-quarter mile east of Route 62 between Jame-stown, New York, and Warren, Pennsylvania.

Most of us know that the Bald Eagle is the national bird of the United States and is pictured on our na-tional emblem. But not everyone knows that there is a Bald Eagle you can visit in Chau-tauqua County.

On Monday, April 7, Jamestown Audubon President Ruth Lundin will give a presenta-tion about eagles at the Hazeltine Library in Busti.

Lundin’s 7 p.m. pre-sentation will highlight Liberty, the non-releasable Bald Eagle that lives in her own outdoor habitat at the Audubon Center & Sanctuary. Lundin will share the story of the effort of many volunteers to prepare for providing a home to an eagle that could

not survive in the wild on its own. She will

also speak about the great attraction Liberty

has been for Audubon visitors.

The talk is free and open to the public.

The Hazeltine Library is located at the five corners in Busti; the address is 891 Busti-Sugar Grove Road, Jamestown, New York.

The Audubon Cen-ter & Sanctuary is at 1600 Riverside Road, one-quarter mile east of Route 62 between Jamestown, New York, and Warren, Penn-sylvania. The Nature Center building and Blue Heron Gift Shop are open 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday-Saturday, and 1-4:30 on Sundays. Visitors can walk the trails and view Liberty in her enclosure behind the Center from dawn to dusk daily.

William Daly, Ad-ministrative Director/CEO of the County of Chautauqua Industrial Development Agency (CCIDA) and Direc-tor of the Chautauqua County Department of Planning and Eco-nomic Development, has announced that he will be retiring effective May 31, 2014.

Daly took over the helm of the County of Chau-tauqua IDA on Janu-ary 1, 2006 following a successful career in Business and Industry. First appointed by past County Executive Greg Edwards, Daly has guided these organiza-tions through the chal-lenging economic times of the “great reces-sion.” The CCIDA is a NYS public authority charged with attracting, retaining, and building capacity in Chautauqua County businesses.

As IDA director over the past 8 years, Daly has overseen 54 Busi-ness Loans in excess of $14 million, closed on 20 PILOTS with annual tax payments of $11 million and issued $103 million in tax exempt bonds support-ing 5 projects valued at over $235 million. The impact of the economic benefits has retained thousands of jobs, brought in hundreds of new jobs, and leveraged over $500 million in private investment in Chautauqua County. Notable projects were the relocation of Ma-plevale Farms to Allen

Street, the retention of the SKF Aeroengine plant in Ellicott, the retention and expan-sion of ECR Interna-tional in Dunkirk, the retention of Weber-Knapp in Jamestown, and negotiating the current PILOT that kept the NRG plant in Dunkirk. He is now negotiating the new PILOT agreement for the repowering of the NRG Dunkirk Power Plant. Daly also was responsible for three County Industrial Parks and the Ripley Shovel Ready site.

As Director of the Chautauqua County Department of Plan-ning and Economic Development, Daly successfully guided the development of award-winning New York State plans such as the County’s Comprehen-sive plan --Chautau-qua 20/20, and the Chautauqua County Greenways Plan, plus the Chautauqua Lake Watershed Manage-ment Plan and the Macrophyte Manage-ment Strategy. Recent planning achievements include the develop-ment of The Chautau-qua County Equestrian Trail System and the Barcelona to Chautau-qua Institution trail plan. Successful west-ern New York State Re-gional Economic De-velopment Committee Grant awards include Lake Erie waterfront re-development and the northern Chautauqua Water District valued at over $2 million.

Fifteen local pizza restaurants are featured at the Fenton History Center’s Slice of History Pizza Challenge on Saturday, March 29, from 1-3 p.m. at the Fenton Histo-ry Center 67 Washington St. The event will benefi t the Center in two ways. First is a fundraiser is to benefi t the education programs of-fered for both children and adults throughout the year at the Center. Secondly it furthers the Center’s mission to collect our city’s history, specifi cally the Italian heritage.

The pizza vendors will be vy-ing for the Fenton Favorite Slice Award. Admission cost is $10 for adults and $3 for children up to age 12. Paid admission covers a piece of pizza from each vendor, a beverage and a tour of the mu-seum.

While the pizza tasting and vot-ing is going on, local resident and Fenton member Vince Joy will be

recording stories from Jamestown’s Italian population and scanning pictures from private collections. All are invited to attend and to share their remembrances of grow-ing up in Jamestown through the recordings and pictures. Stories

and pictures about grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, businesses, clubs, school and friends are all needed. Joan Lindquist, author of the popular “Brooklyn Square The Lost Neighborhood” books has of-fered to raffl e off each of the books

to benefi t the Center. Tickets are only one dollar each.

“We have needed to gather infor-mation and images about and from the Italian families in this area for a long time. With Vince’s assis-tance, connections and enthusiasm I think this will be a great day to learn about the importance of the Italian infl uences in Jamestown,” says Joni Blackman, director of the Fenton History Center. All pic-tures will be scanned and returned during the event. Volunteers are needed to assist both during the pizza tasting and the oral history. Temporary exhibits about the Italians in Jamestown and ethnic music will also be featured.

The pizza challenge is spon-sored in part by Crosby’s Mart Pizza, Bair’s Pizza, Lena’s Pizza, Buzzetto’s Pizza, and Honest John’s Pizza. Visit www.fentonhis-torycenter.org or call 664-6256 for more information.

Chautauqua County Executive Vince Hor-rigan was notifi ed of Daly's decision over the weekend.

"I want to thank Bill Daly for his dedica-tion and service to the citizens of Chau-tauqua County,” said Horrigan. “Bill skill-fully guided the reins of Chautauqua County economic development during a very challeng-ing time in our nation's history and has devel-oped highly successful relationships with our area businesses and economic development community. His tenure

of service is one that he can be very proud of. Over the next few weeks, I will form a search committee that will be charged with fi nding the absolute best economic develop-ment professional to lead our County’s IDA and the Department of Planning and Econom-ic Development,” said Horrigan. “Depending on the timing of the se-lection and availability of a top quality candi-date, I will most likely appoint an interim director to ensure we have solid leadership throughout the transi-tion process.”

After a four-month hiatus, Tuesday Club members will welcome spring beginning at 1:30 p.m. Monday, April 1, at the May-ville Library.

Special guest speaker will be Michelle Henry, Chautauqua County Historian, who will tell the story of Sarah Sinfi eld, a Civil War heroine.

The November 2013 meeting’s guest was Eric Kreidler who talked about “Where America Began.” The topic included vignettes

about the settling of Jamestown, West Virginia, in 1607 and two-thirds of the people died the fi rst year. The survivors were set to re-turn to England when three supply ships ar-rived with John Smith as their leader. The people received much help from the Indians and Smith ended up marrying Pocahontas.

Other notable hap-penings included by Kreidler were the founding of William and Mary College in Williamsburg provided with Rockefeller funds to reconstruct the old buildings and York-town, founded in 1691, which was protected

from the open ocean.

The Tuesday Club meets the fi rst Tuesday of August, November, April and June. In addition to interesting speakers, club members prepare a May Reci-procity Day luncheon for additional sister club members of the Western New York Federation of Women’s Clubs and a June lun-cheon when installation of offi cers is held.

ywCA Prepares For spaghetti Dinner

New this year will be the opportunity for those of legal age to purchase beer and wine while in the theater as a way of enjoying a bev-erage while watching the different fi lms.

The World Tour is a part of the Banff Moun-tain Film And Book Festival, which is held every year at the Banff Centre in Banff, Alber-ta, Canada. The festival itself actually takes place

each year in Novem-ber as approximately 300 fi lms are reviewed as part of a week-long contest that focuses on videos that feature intimate looks at outdoor adventure sports such as mountain climbing and extreme biking.

Created 38 years ago, the Banff Mountain Film and Book Festival has become the pre-miere event of its kind as it puts on display the

world’s best fi lms, books and photographs on mountain subjects that include climbing, explo-ration and adventure. The festival annually at-tracts the biggest names in mountaineering, adventure fi lmmaking and extreme sports as presenters and speakers, with the event culmi-nating with the award-ing of cash prizes and other honors in about a dozen categories.

Some of the fi lms on this year’s agenda in Jamestown include "The Last Ice Mer-chant" and "The Sea Of Rock," which both last less than 15 min-utes but are packed full of dramatic and exciting scenes that will leave the audience gasping over the inten-sity of each adventure.

The cost of admission is $18 for adults and $15 for students and

children. Tickets can be purchased online by visiting www.reglenna.com/events/banff-mountain-fi lm-festival-world-tour-2/ or by calling the Reg Lenna Box Offi ce at 716-484-7070. Tickets will also be able to be purchased the day of the event at the door. Doors will open at 5 p.m. and fi lms will begin t be showing starting at 7 p.m.

The 1891 Fredonia Opera House Cinema Series will pres-ent 2014 Oscar Best Picture nominee “Philomena,” starring Judy Dench, on Sat., Mar. 29, and Apr. 1, at 7:30 p.m.

Philomena is the true story of one mother’s search for her lost son. Falling pregnant as a teenager in Ireland in 1952, Philomena was sent to the convent of Roscrea to be looked after as a “fallen woman.” When her baby was only a toddler, he was taken away by the nuns for adop-tion in America. Philom-ena spent the next 50 years searching for him in vain.

Then she met Martin Six-smith, a world-weary political journalist who happened to be intrigued by her story. Togeth-er, they set off for America on a journey that would not only reveal the extraordinary story of Philomena’s son, but also create an unexpectedly close

bond between them. The film is a compelling narrative of human love and loss, and ulti-mately celebrates life. It is both funny and sad and concerns two very different people, at different stages of their lives, who help each other and show that there is laughter even in the darkest places.

The book on which the film is based, “The Lost Child of

Philomena Lee,” was pub-lished in 2009. It acted as a catalyst for thousands of ad-opted Irish children and their “shamed” mothers to come forward to tell their stories. Many are still searching for their lost families.

Moira MacDonald, in the Seattle Times, calls the film “an utterly charming combi-nation of road trip, odd-cou-

ple comedy and heart-touch-ing true story that will leave few dry-eyed.” Ann Horna-day, in the Washington Post, calls it “a clever, wrenching, profound story (that) under-scores the tenacity of faith in the face of unfathomable cruelty.” Colin Colvert, in the Minneapolis Star Tri-bune, says “Judi Dench plays the title role with her usual authenticity, which is reason

enough to see it; but there are so many more.” Rated PG-13 on appeal for some strong language, thematic elements and sexual references, “Phi-lomena” runs 98 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 ten 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 Series continues with “The Monuments Men” starring Matt Damon, George Clooney, Bill Murray and Cate Blanchett, on Apr. 5 & 8.

The 1891 Fredonia Opera House is a member-support-ed not-for-profit organization located in Village Hall in downtown Fredonia. For a complete schedule of events, visit www.fredopera.org.

On Friday, March 28 from 7 to 9 pm, the Spire Theater located at 317 East 3rd Street in Jamestown will present a Jazz Concert featur-ing the Bill Ward Band. The Bill Ward Band has opened concerts in the Chautauqua Insti-tution Ampitheater for Loretta Lynn, Waylon Jennings and Diamond Rio. Band members include Bill Ward on guitar and vocals, John Cross on saxophones, Tom Swanson on guitar, and Paul Liuzzo on bass. Selections to

be performed include a wide variety of styles including blues, swing, country, gospel and cow jazz. Area jazzman, John Cross will host the program.

Featured artist, Bill Ward, is a singer/song-writer from Western NY. Now in his fourth decade of performing, he was a part of the burgeoning '70s folk/acoustic scene in the area, eventually finding his way to Austin, Tex-as, where he 'found his voice' performing in the town where artists like Nanci Griffith, Townes Van Zandt, and Jerry Jeff Walker had also cut

their musical teeth.

Returning to Western New York, Ward forged alliances with some of the best artists in the Northeast, eventually releasing his landmark recording, "Highway in the Desert," which featured his all-star band and a host of special guests, includ-ing Muscle Shoals Hall of Fame guitarist Will McFarlane.

In 2002 he founded the Mayville Bluegrass Festival, which has garnered international attention, featuring artists such as Vassar Clements, Peter Rowan,

Claire Lynch. Tony Rice, and Norman Blake, as well as some of the nation's best young bluegrass performers. To that end, his most recent release, "The Christmas Sessions," features Ward with the Doerfels, who at the time were all under the age of eighteen.

Ward has been named "Artist of the Year" by the Chautauqua County Arts Council; "Promoter of the Year" for his festival and col-laborative work; and is a member of the Chau-tauqua County Music Hall of Fame. He continues to perform

and record, and uses his gifts as a worship leader, teaching artist, community developer, and promoter to help foster arts programs and festivals in the tourist-rich Chautau-qua County area.

The concert is free and open to the public. Freewill donations will be accepted.

Happy Days and Spring!It's a Spring Thing that brings the Happy Days band back to The Spire theater's Odys-sey Hall on Saturday, March 29th. With a Chicken Buffet dinner and dissert for $20.00.

The doors will open at 6pm. Reservation are required at least 24 hours in advance.

An evening with din-ner, dance and classic Happy Days entertain-ment, has become a monthly event that provides great food, fun and surprises each time.

The menu varies each month with dinner including appetizers, the main course, side dishes, dessert, coffee and tea. Beer and wine are also available.

Seating is limited. Go to spiretheater.org or in-spire.us or call 716 499-9161 for reservations.

Recognizing that local schools are struggling to close budget defi cits caused by prior state aid cuts, Assembly-man Andy Goodell (R,C,I Chautauqua) is proposing a substantial increase in educa-tion funding for local schools.

In 2011, the state was forced to reduce school aid in an effort to eliminate a $10 billion budgetary gap. This cut was called a “Gap Elimination Adjust-ment” (GEA).

Over the last few years, the State Leg-islature has gradually restored school aid, but there is still a $1.6 bil-

lion shortfall compared to four years ago. The governor proposed in-creasing school aid by $323 million, still leav-ing school aid about $1.3 billion short.

Goodell is supporting efforts to increase fund-ing by an additional $500 million to further reduce the shortfall, with the expectation that the shortfall would then be eliminated entirely within the next two years.

The additional $500 million would be obtained from two sources within the Governor’s existing budget proposal. First, Goodell is calling for a transfer of $400 mil-lion from the proposed property tax cap reim-bursement program to

school aid. The gov-ernor’s proposed tax cap program would reimburse taxpayers in those school districts that stay below the 2 percent tax cap for any increase, but would provide no fi nancial assistance to taxpay-ers in districts that are facing the most serious fi nancial problems.

“I believe that State aid should be used to help poorer school dis-tricts,” said Goodell, “not just the wealthy districts that can af-ford to stay below the tax cap.”

The second source of funds would be the $100 million from money designated for universal Pre-K into general school aid. School districts

could use that money for their top priorities, which may include Pre-K or other higher priorities as per the lo-cal school boards, with input from teachers and parents.

Last week, Goodell voted against the Assembly Majority’s one-house budget reso-lution because it lacked the needed education funding for Chautau-qua County schools

“The Majority’s budget proposal does little to provide eq-uitable education aid to schools across the state, including those in Chautauqua County” said Goodell. “While the Assembly Majority’s proposal does slightly increase the amount of GEA funds from the gov-ernor’s proposal, the nearly $1.3 billion in remaining GEA funding owed to our schools is a travesty.”

Goodell was recently represented at a rally of local school offi cials fi ghting to eliminate the outstanding GEA funding. Assemblyman Giglio and Sen. Young were also represented, and all three are push-ing for greater GEA funding in this year’s state budget.

In the Assembly’s one-house budget proposal, the Democrat Major-ity directed the larg-est portion of funding toward New York City and other large-city schools across the state. However, more GEA funding would provide greater relief to schools statewide.

Hoops and hijinks are coming to Jamestown on April 8 when our very own local chal-lengers, the Jamestown PTA PlayMakers, take on the Harlem Ambas-sadors in a comedy bas-ketball show the whole family will enjoy. The show starts at 7 p.m. at James McElrath Gym-nasium, Jamestown High School.

Proceeds from the event benefit ALL Jamestown Public School PTA’s and will be used to promote educational enrichment programs, Parents as Reading Partners, Arts Enhancement programs, scholarship funds and various other family engagement programs within the school district.

“The Belle of Amherst,” a one-woman show based on the life of Emily Dickin-son and starring Christina Rausa, will be performed at Jamestown Community College’s Jamestown and Cattaraugus County cam-puses in April.

The performance begins at 7 p.m. on April 23 in the Scharmann Theatre on the Jamestown Campus and on April 24 in Cutco Theater

on the Cattaraugus County Campus in Olean. Admis-sion is $5 for the general public. JCC Faculty Student Association cardholders are admitted free.

Tickets can be obtained for the Jamestown performance by calling 338-1187 and the Olean performance by call-ing 376-7514.

“The Belle of Amherst,” written by William Luce is presented by special ar-rangement with Samuel French Inc., and will be sponsored by JCC’s libraries.

Support for the production is provided through a grant from the Katharine Jackson

Carnahan Endowment for the Humanities.

Audience members can meet Ms. Rausa and enjoy refresh-ments after the performances.

Emily Dickinson never married and seldom left her father’s house during the last 20 years of her life. She wrote hundreds of poems, shar-ing them with only a small circle of friends and family. While almost none of it was published during Dickinson’s lifetime, her poetry is widely read among high school and college students.

Ms. Rausa performed “The Belle of Amherst” to sold-out audiences at Buffalo’s Café Theatre in the mid-1990s and received rave reviews for her recent performance of Maria Callas in “Master Class” at MusicalFare Theatre.

One reviewer remarked on Ms. Rausa’s ability to make the audience feel as if Dickinson herself is on the stage during “The Belle of Amherst”: “Rausa’s vision of America’s mystic poetess Emily Dickinson is filled with spunky wonder and passion.”

South Korea is a land of ancient tradition and contemporary life, a fascinating world with 5,000 years of history. Travel /adventure fi lm-maker Buddy Hatton will offer an in-depth look at this Asian coun-try when the World Travel Series at SUNY Fredonia presents “Ko-rea— Then and Now” on Saturday, March 29 at 7:30 p.m. in King Concert Hall at Rock-efeller Arts Center.

This is the fi nal event in the 2013-14 World Travel Series sponsored by Fredonia Place as part of the Lake Shore Savings Season.

Often referred to as the “Land of the Morning Calm,” Korea is located at a major crossroad of Northeast Asia. Con-sequently, Mr. Hatton noted the country has become “a source of endless possibilities.”

The fi lmmaker’s journey begins in Seoul, where he said this sensation is most keenly felt. It’s one the largest city in the world and it possesses what Mr. Hatton called an infectious energy.

“It’s easy to get caught

up in the Korean ‘ joie de vive,’ as well as the city’s nonstop attrac-tions,” he said.

As the capital of South Korea, Seoul is the country’s economic and cultural center.

The fi lm includes stops at the royal palaces and gardens – where royal guards in colorful robes carry out traditional ceremonies – and at the War Memorial that hon-ors the “Forgotten War” in which allies supported South Korea against the forces of North Korea, China and Russia.

Other cities featured in the fi lm include the

traditional port town of Busan; Guemsan, the ginseng capital of the world; and Daejeon, which is famous for its hot springs.

In the south of the country, Busan is booming and rewards those travelers willing to explore another rap-idly ever-growing city. Busan also has a rich history and the fi lm looks at its importance to the Korean War. On a similar note, Mr. Hatton makes a stop in Incheon, which was where General Douglas McArthur made his famous landing.

One of the longest run-ning hits in the history of Broadway will be staged at SUNY Fredo-nia in April.

“RENT,” the award-winning rock musical, will be presented by the Department of Theatre and Dance as part of the Walter Gloor Main-stage Series. Six perfor-mances are scheduled from April 4 to 12 in Marvel Theatre.

Dates and times are April 4, 5, 10, 11 and 12 at 7:30 p.m. with a matinee on April 6 at 2 p.m.

Directing the show will be Tom Lough-lin, chairman of the Department of Theatre and Dance. It will be his 29th Mainstage production, having previously directed 26 shows and having ap-peared in two produc-tions as an actor.

Loughlin said the Mainstage production will be presented as if it were a rock concert.

“There will be no ‘fourth wall’ where the performers and audi-ence are separated,” he said. “We are going for a total involvement experience. We think we can make this hap-pen because ‘RENT’ as a show has more in common with a rock opera style than with a traditional musical play.”

This rock musical, which opened on

Broadway in 1996 with music and lyrics by Jonathan Larson, chronicles the lives of a group of young artists living on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. The characters work to build careers as they deal with the looming specter of HIV/AIDS.

It won four Tony Awards, including best musical, best book and best score, and a Pu-litzer Prize. “RENT” ran on Broadway for 12 years and more than 5,000 performances. It closed as the ninth-lon-gest running production in Broadway history.

“Perhaps one of the advantages of the stag-ing this show is that it has reached iconic status, and so you do not have to think too much about how to stage it. It stages itself

in a lot of ways, and I have nothing against giving an audience what they expect to see,” Loughlin said. “It also tells a fairly famil-iar story, since it’s an adaptation of Puccini’s “La Boheme.” And be-cause for many of my students it is a musical they grew up listen-ing to, it’s extremely familiar to them - they know it better than I do in many cases. More than once a cast member has corrected me or given me infor-mation I did not have about the show. That's fun for me because it places me in the position of learning from them, and I enjoy that.”

One of the challenges in staging the produc-tion, according to the director, comes from

the fact that “RENT” is in his words “a non-stop roller-coaster of music and action.”

“I am also using a larger cast than normal, so ev-ery once in while I have to stop and take careful stock of the many, many details,” Loughlin said. “It’s tough to keep track of everything, but I have fantastic assistants and a cast that continues to keep me alert.”

Loughlin said the strength of this show lies in the music and style of the piece.

“Jonathan Larson real-ly wrote a fantastic col-lection of music in this show that spans styles from gorgeous choral passages to soft love du-ets to hard-hitting rock anthems. I truly don’t think people commonly

know how terrifi c and musically rich the score really is, and you can put me among that group before I took on the show,” Loughlin said. “Most people know about the fact that it’s ‘that AIDS musical from the ’90s but that’s a shame, because it robs people of really knowing how good a musical theatre

talent Larson really was. I have discovered that the piece is truly a musical feast.”

Loughlin also said one of the show’s high-lights is its “continued insistence that, despite every obstacle, one should always live in and appreciate the present moment, be-cause there is truly ‘no day like today.’”

While much attention has been given to some of the subjects the show addresses, Loughlin thinks the “serious is-sues” about this show have been “overplayed over time, to the show’s detriment.”

“This show is not about AIDS or homosexual-ity or drug addiction or any of the other things people say it’s about,”

the director said. “All that is in the show, sure, but Larson was smarter than that, and he created a show that’s better than that. He created a show where a collection of young people – all of whom love each other pas-sionately, like family – experience a ‘coming of age’ in a particular time in a particular

place. Their love of life, of living, despite all they have to face, and their fi erce need and determination to be free to live and love as they choose, is ulti-mately the most serious thing the show tackles. In my view, the rest is merely incidental to that story.”

The Mainstage produc-tion is, however, recom-

mended for mature audiences only.

RENT is sponsored by Niebel Realty as part of the Lake Shore Savings Season.

Right now in your mind you might be asking, "What is a stronghold?" Many people have some in-teresting ideas about what strongholds are. Some people say that they are centers for demonic activity placed over cities and regions to inf luence people into certain vices. Some believe that you need to war in prayer against these demonic strong-holds in order to see victory. It is absolute-ly necessary to pray for our land; however, Christians need not "war" in prayer to prevent strongholds. People need to be taught what the Bible says and to act on that to see deliverance in their lives.

The Bible gives us a clear def inition of what strongholds are. 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 says, "For the weap-ons of our warfare are not carnal (natural) but mighty through

God to the pulling down of strongholds." Verse 5 says, "Cast-ing down IMAGI-NATIONS and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God and bringing into captivity every THOUGHT to the obedience of Christ." Where do imagina-tions take place? In the mind. Where do thoughts take place? In the mind. Where do strongholds occur? In our minds. The Bible uses language such as weapons, war-fare, pulling down, and casting down to describe the battle we face against thoughts. Many people believe that the vices them-selves are the enemy but many times the battle was lost f irst in the mind.

The greatest battle you will face in life will occur upon the battlefront of your mind. Strongholds are simply this: Patterns of thought that are acted upon. In the verses above there are two sources we can draw from in our thought life. Number One: The Knowledge of God. Number Two: Imaginations and thoughts that exalt themselves against the Knowledge of God. You will act upon one of these two sources that are feeding your

thought life. If you continually act upon God's knowledge then you will be led into a deeper level of victory in your life and all the grace for Godly liv-ing. If you are acting upon thoughts and imaginations that are against the Knowl-edge of God then you ultimately will cast from yourself com-plete fulf illment and God's plan for your life. For example, as a young man I fell into a pattern of liv-ing closely associated with alcoholism. It adversely affected my entire life. As a result my life spiraled down into depression and drug use. I was never satisf ied and every time I needed relief it just took more and more alcohol to f ill the void. After the buzz wore off the void was still there and I was empty.

So what was that? It was a stronghold that I was acting upon. I was convinced in my mind that a substance was my only way to have a fulf illing life. So how did that change? I changed my source for my thought life. I fed upon God's Word and let it f ill my thoughts. My perspec-tive changed and so did my life.

Dear Pastor, My pastor mentioned that we should dress better at church. I thought God “looks at the heart” and doesn’t care about stuff like our clothes. What gives?

Last week I shared about the Biblical con-cept of honor and how it relates to clothing. I want to be clear…its not that you have to dress up “fancy”, but that you need to have a respectful and humble heart towards God when deciding how to dress. This week I want to share about another way to honor God.

On an upcoming holiday like Indepen-dence Day, most people

will spend time with family and friends and then view a tradi-tional fireworks display. While the focus may be more about hotdogs and potato salad…we shouldn’t forget that this is a holiday that was dedicated to honor our country’s begin-nings. You might say, “I get that it matters to God that we show honor at church, but does God really care if we honor our coun-try?” Some people think that respecting our government is just a political issue…it depends on whether you are in agreement with the party in office or its policies. But we don’t make our deci-sions based on opin-ion but on the Word of God. While not a direct translation, The Message Bible sums up the scriptural passage, 1 Peter 2:13-17, by tell-ing us to, “Make the Master proud of you by being good citizens. Respect the authorities, whatever their level; they are God's emissar-ies for keeping order.

It is God's will that by doing good, you might cure the ignorance of the fools who think you're a danger to soci-ety. Exercise your free-dom by serving God, not by breaking the rules. Treat everyone you meet with dignity. Love your spiritual family. Revere God. Respect the govern-ment.” Basically…God is telling us that we honor Him by honor-ing the institutions that He put in place for us.

I want to assure you that I understand how challenging this may be for some of you. No government or set of laws is free from fault or human bias. But in general…laws and the institution of our government were put into place to protect, help to ensure justice, and create an environ-ment of freedom for its citizens. God is a God of order (1 Corinthians 14:40) and He desires us to be willing to honor the institutions that He put into place for our benefit.

By Dodi Kingsfi eldContributing Writer

Now that the side-walks are clear of ice and snow and drying out, walkers are out in full force, pounding the pavement while enjoying this favorite warm weather activ-ity of many. Anxious to commence with an outdoor exercise routine neglected over the long cold winter, walkers, like drivers, are eager to get back on the sidewalk and often forget the rules of the sidewalk. Similar to the rules of the road, these guidelines for walking etiquette and safety serve as gentle remind-ers that we all share this big planet and all it takes is a little courtesy and respect for each other to enjoy one of our greatest gifts as hu-man beings, the ability to walk.

Walkers are an instant community of people with a general love of the outdoors, which makes following the ba-sic rule of greeting one another an easy one to follow. While every-one is busy these days and always in a hurry, acknowledging the person(s) you are walk-ing by with a simple smile, nod of the head, look in the eye or a friendly hello lets other walkers know that you are safe, they are safe and you have only good intentions. Unlike the road rage often seen on the highways, walkers seldom exhibit side-

walk rage unless it’s a dangerous situation to begin with.

To ensure that an un-safe situation does not occur when walking, it’s best to walk with a companion, two-legged or four-legged, when possible. Communicat-ing a walking route or expected time to another person also lets someone know where you are, just in case something was to ever happen. Avoid walking in dark alleys or unlit areas and keep to well marked sidewalks and walkways. Wear refl ec-

tor material and use a fl ashlight when walking at night and always pay attention to your sur-roundings. Walk with a charged cell phone in case of emergencies and a can of mace or pep-per spray, if necessary, for personal safety.

While that cell phone provides a lifeline to the world, just like texting while driving, texting while walking can be just as dangerous. If not paying attention to walking and concentrat-ing on the phone, it’s very easy to misstep off a curb, step in front of

a moving vehicle, walk into a parking meter or even another person. For pedestrians, cell phones should be used for emergencies, not be the cause of emergen-cies. Keep it in a pocket or case and take your walk looking up at the world, not down at a phone screen.

Sharing the sidewalk with other walkers requires the use of basic rules like those of the road. Yield, stop, turn and pass are all activi-ties that control traffi c patterns, whether the traffi c is auto, bicycle or

in this case, foot traffi c. There is no formal set of walking rules, but common sense should prevail, as well as respect and courtesy for other pedestrians. When passing an elderly person or a per-son pushing a stroller, give them the right of way. If meeting a bicycle on the sidewalk, like a ship, stay to the right and eliminate any confusion over who has what side of the walk-way. When encounter-ing road signs such as stop or crossing walk signals, obey the rules of the road just as you

would expect a driver or bicyclist to follow them.

If walking in an area where there are no designated walkways such as country roads, side streets or main thoroughfares, where automobile drivers do not expect to come across pedestrians in their travels, use extra precaution when walking. Pay special attention to oncoming traffi c, walk against the traffi c pattern in order to see vehicles coming toward you instead of behind and anticipate challenging driver conditions such as blind spots caused by the setting sun, sharp curves or crests of hills to prevent pedestrian accidents.

Even if you are not a walker yourself, as a homeowner or renter you can help ensure your fellow walk-loving neighbors safety. By keeping the public part of the sidewalk running through your front yard clear of debris, snow and ice and well main-tained, a walker is less likely to trip or fall and hurt themselves. This also keeps the foot traf-fi c on the sidewalk and off the manicured lawn or fl ower gardens.

Whether walking for exercise, personal enjoyment or to take in the scenery, following the basic rules of the sidewalk can help en-sure a safe and happy stroll for pedestrians and drivers alike.

The Respiratory Therapy Department at Lake Shore Health Care Center in Irving has been undergoing some changes focused on en-hancing patient comfort, privacy, and the over-all testing experience. Sharon Smith, RRT, Respiratory Therapy Manager, explained the services have been relocated within the hospital, and can now be found in an upgraded and roomier space across from the Ambula-tory Surgery area.

“It’s really nice for our staff and our patients. Now, the patient area is completely separate from the offi ce, meet-ing, and supply areas. There is also a dedicat-ed entrance and com-fortable waiting room. The focus is truly on patient comfort,” Mrs. Smith explained.

PFTs are a group of non-invasive tests that provide measureable feedback about lung function. PFT testing is offered to individu-als 13 and over in need of assessment for lung disorders such as asthma, emphysema, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), and pulmonary fi brosis. Tests may also be ordered for those who have diffi culty breathing in relation to other disease processes or other issues such as short-ness of breath, cough-ing, chronic bronchitis, and tobacco use. Some medications may cause lung problems and PFTs may be ordered routinely

to check for changes in a patient’s lung function. For others, a test may be given prior to an opera-tion to assure a patient is appropriate for surgery. PFTs are also required for certain occupations, such as fi refi ghters, or other positions that re-quire the use of a breath-ing apparatus.

Patients who have a physician order for Pulmonary Function Testing (PFTs) can undergo services in the one-on-one setting with the staff including New York State Registered Respiratory Therapists Mrs. Smith and Valerie Collopy. Appointments are typically available from 8 a.m. through the afternoon on Monday through Friday. Those looking for more infor-mation may call the department at 716-951-7113. The department staff also encourages physician offi ces and businesses to contact them for tours of the new location, or to receive additional information about patient testing.

At Lake Shore Health Care Center’s new area, the patient is seated com-fortably in a clear booth

while the staff is seated nearby to clearly explain and, in many cases, demonstrate how the patient should breathe for the various tests. “We’re friendly and knowledge-able, so we make the patient comfortable. It’s a relaxing atmosphere,” Mrs. Smith said. “We re-assure patients during the testing, answer a lot of questions about the dis-ease process, and educate them as much as possible. We try to explain every-thing in a way that’s easy to understand.”

The department’s medi-cal director reads the test and returns the results to the ordering physician within 48 hours. The department manager explained that a nice feature of Lake Shore’s registration process is that patients are called in advance of their appointment, so their background information (e.g. smoking history or occupational exposures) can be recorded in the computer prior to their arrival. “It gives us more information to start the process with,” she explained. The entire PFT process, includ-ing registration, usually takes about an hour.

Editor’s note: This is Part 1 of 2 in this story about Benjamin Lindquist of Falconer. Lindquist spent six years as a Minor League Baseball umpire and it would be a disservice to him, the readers and myself to cram his story into a mere 1,000 words or so. Be sure to check back next week for Part 2.

It’s been said that the best offi cials are the ones you never notice because the only time they are noticed is when they blow a call. Yet it could be argued that baseball umpires are as big a part of the game as the players in uniform. These men shouldn’t be ignored, they should be recognized and appreciated.

Benjamin Lindquist lives in Falconer and serves as the executive director for the Chautauqua Striders. He graduated from Falconer Central School in 1995 and from Jamestown Commu-nity College in 1998.

But for six years, he was a professional baseball umpire in Minor League Baseball.

Every kid that plays catch in his back yard or laces up his cleats to play for his Little League team dreams of one day playing

in the Big Leagues one day. Lindquist was your typical baseball-loving kid growing up in Falconer in the 1980’s, but he also had a slightly different goal in mind.

“I was obsessed with base-ball cards,” Lindquist said. “I loved baseball and I loved numbers. I was taught that knowing the rules of the game will make you a better player and to use that to your advantage. I studied box scores. I knew who all the league leaders were. I studied the backs of baseball cards. Digging into some-

thing that I had a passion for was easy for me. Learning the rules of the game was just something that came very simple to me.

“I was playing Little League Baseball when I was 12 years old,” Lindquist continued. “There was a local umpire named Chuck Youngberg. I was a catcher and was talking with Chuck and at one point he said ‘You know the game. You can tell when I miss a call. You should be an umpire when you get older.’ For some reason that stuck with

me. The next year I started umpiring the minor league games in Falconer. I made seven dollars per game. Then I’d go on the weekend and buy baseball cards.”

The next stage of Lindquist’s umpire career came because he attended a small private high school that didn’t fi eld a baseball team. Left with few op-tions, he started umpiring jayvee baseball games at the tender age of 14 — the same age as most of the players.

COMMENTARY

2014 MLB Awards Predictions

By Stefan GestwickiStar Sports Editor

The 2014 Major League Baseball seasoned opened up with a pair of games between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Arizona Diamondbacks in Sydney, Australia this past weekend.

It was quite a treat that MLB Network was re-airing the fi rst game when I woke up on Sat-urday morning. The game was originally played at 4 a.m. EST, so congratulations to anyone that got up to watch it live.

I quickly realized my nearly unhealthy love of the Pitts-burgh Pirates while watching the two National League West rivals kick off the new season. I was actively rooting for the Dodgers because I fully expect the D-Backs to be one of the Pirates’ main competitors for one of the two wild card spots this season (meaning the Dodg-ers run away with the division). Hey, with Arizona’s two losses to open the season, the Pirates technically have a full one-game lead over the Diamond-backs in that regard.

By John WawrowAP Sports Writer

Buffalo Bills owner Ralph Wilson never forgot how he was made to feel like an outsider for having the audacity to challenge the NFL.

It was 1959, and Wil-son had just invested $25,000 to join Lamar Hunt and Bud Adams in helping establish the upstart Ameri-can Football League. Wilson and the seven other owners were im-mediately dubbed ''The Foolish Club.''

''You'd go to cocktail parties back in those days,'' Wilson recalled in an interview with The Associated Press in 2009, a month before being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. ''And they'd look at me like, 'What kind of dope are you, going into a new league?'''

Some 54 years later, Wilson was being re-membered as a ''vision-ary'' for playing a key role in helping establish the modern-day game.

The Bills lost their sole owner, and the NFL lost its last surviving AFL founder and a person regarded as the league's ''conscience'' on Tuesday, when Wilson died at his home in Grosse Pointe Shores, Mich. Wilson was 95.

Bills president Russ Brandon announced Wilson's death at the NFL owners meetings in Orlando, Fla.

''Ralph Wilson was a driving force in devel-oping pro football into

America's most popular sport,'' NFL Commis-sioner Roger Goodell said. ''He brought his beloved Bills to west-ern New York, and his commitment to the team's role in the com-munity set the standard for the NFL.''

New York Jets owner Woody Johnson called Wilson's death ''the end of a real impor-tant era.''

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones referred to Wilson as ''one of the cornerstones of the AFL.''

And in Buffalo, where Wilson's influ-ence resonated as the region's patriarch of professional football, he was being sorely missed. In honor of Wilson, the Bills kept one bank of lights on at the stadium that bears the owner's name.

''He wasn't my boss, he was my friend,'' Bills Hall of Fame coach Marv Levy said. ''He meant so much to the game that both of us revered, and to the com-munity of Buffalo and beyond. It's quite a loss.''

Wilson had been receiv-ing home hospice care, and had been in failing health since having hip surgery in 2011.

Wilson gave up daily oversight of the club on Jan. 1, 2013, when he relinquished the presi-dent's title to Brandon.

''No one loves this game more than Ralph Wilson,'' Brandon said. ''It's very tough. What he's' meant to the entire organization. He's our leader, our mentor our

friend. How he loves his players and loved our community. Spe-cial guy. They just don't make them like Ralph Wilson.''

Wilson earned a well-es-tablished reputation for loyalty to fans and the stands he took against franchise relocation.

Though he butted heads several times with late Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis, it did not affect their friendship.

As Davis said in 2009: ''There were a lot of guys saying (Steelers owner Dan) Rooney was the conscience. But certainly, Mr. Wilson was more of a con-science of the league.''

Wilson also earned the respect of his players.

Bills Hall of Fame running back Thur-

man Thomas struggled with his emotions when discussing Wilson.

''With Mr. Wilson's passing today, it hurts,'' Thomas said. ''So I'm going to miss him, without a doubt. He used to call me his favorite son.''

Wilson's Bills won AFL championships in 1964 and '65, but never a Su-per Bowl. They came close in the early 1990s, when the Levy-coached and Jim Kelly-quar-terbacked teams won four consecutive AFC championships, but lost each time.

The Bills have not made the playoffs since 1999 and their 14-year postseason drought ranks as the NFL's lon-gest active streak.

What Wilson never lost was his sense of humor.

In 2010, with the Bills 0-5, Wilson began an interview with the AP with an apology. ''I want to apologize for this phone system,'' Wil-son said, with a familiar chuckle. ''It's almost as bad as my team.''

The franchise's future is now in the hands of Brandon and Wilson's second-in-command, Bills treasurer Jeffrey Littmann. For the meantime, the Bills are expected to be placed in a trust before eventu-ally being sold.

Wilson expressed no interest of leaving the team to his fam-ily. He is survived by wife Mary, daughters Christy Wilson-Hof-mann, who serves as a Bills consultant, and Edith Wilson. There's also niece Mary Owen, who serves on several NFL committees while working as the team's executive vice president of strategic planning.

Kelly has expressed interest in buying the franchise and has previ-ously said he's assembled a group of investors.

Kelly's health, however, has become an issue. He is expected to have surgery for a second time in a year following the recurrence of cancer that his wife described as aggressive and ''start-ing to spread.''

Buffalo Sabres owner Terry Pegula is also considered a candidate to purchase the Bills and keep them in Buffalo.

That doesn't remove the possibility of outside interests making offers and relocating the

team to larger markets such as Los Angeles or nearby Toronto.

The Bills' future in Orchard Park is secure for the short term. The team negotiated a 10-year lease in December 2012 with the state and county to continue playing at Ralph Wil-son Stadium.

Born in Columbus, Ohio, in 1918, Wilson moved to Detroit three years later when his father, Ralph Wilson Sr., took a sales job at an auto dealership. The father turned to insur-ance and in the mid-1930s landed a deal with Chrysler Corp.

Among Wilson's first moves upon taking over his father's insurance business in 1959 was selling his minor share in the Lions and invest-ing in the AFL.

In 1964, Wilson trav-eled to the Winter Games at Innsbruck, Austria, where he slept on the floor of a re-porter's room because all the hotels were booked, to help broker the AFL's landmark TV deal with NBC.

Wilson always main-tained a healthy perspective in regards to what mattered when it came to football, including his place in the game.

When asked about the fragmented state of football in the mid-1990s, Wilson joked: ''It's such a great game, it'll survive us.''

Funeral arrangements have not yet been de-termined.

26 CHAUTAUQUA STARFRIDAY, MARCH 28, 2014

As I watched Dodgers ace and two-time Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw mow down the Diamond-backs hitter, I realized that there’s no way anyone knocks him off his perch in the N.L. We might as well give him his third Cy Young Award right now.

But it’s fun to at least consider other can-didates, right? So let’s take a look at the Most Valuable Player and Cy Young Award candidates for both the National and Ameri-can Leagues.

AMERICAN LEAGUE MVP: Mike Trout, Los An-geles Angels — There were people who thought Trout should have won the award each of the past two years, but that honor went to the Detroit Tigers’ Miguel Cabre-ra. While I still think Cabrera is the best hitter in the Ameri-can League, I think Trout fi nally gets some hardware this year. First off, baseball writ-ers and fans are very history oriented. Since the award’s inception in 1931, only one man — Barry Bonds — has won the MVP in three straight seasons. Bonds actually won it four straight years from 2001-2004 and seven times overall including 1990, 1992 and 1993. Mean-while, Trout has put up arguably the best fi rst two seasons in

MLB history. It would surprise absolutely no one if he went 40/40 this year. He has such a ridiculous combination of power and speed that there’s nowhere in the lineup that even fi ts him. Sure he could lead off, but how many solo home runs will it take for him to move him down. You could hit him third, but how many times will a slow runner in front of him take away his stolen base potential. Lastly, I think Albert Pujols will be back to normal (or close to it) this year. That will help Trout and the Angels increase their win total and make a push at the playoffs. Rightfully so, a team’s record defi nitely factors into a voter’s decision. OTHER CANDITATES: Ca-brera, Evan Longoria, Chris Davis, Rob-inson Cano. DARK HORSE CANDI-DATE: Eric Hosmer.

NATIONAL LEAGUE MVP: Andrew McCutchen, Pittsburgh Pirates — There’s no overstating ‘Cutch’s value to the Pirates team and the city of Pittsburgh. The organization endured 20 consecutive los-ing seasons and the reigning N.L. MVP was the man at the middle of changing all of the last season. He’s put up back-to-back .300/.400/.500 seasons and is entering his age-27 season, a time when

many stars make a jump to an even higher level. His relatively small frame hides his power potential, but his bat speed is perhaps unrivaled in all of base-ball. The Pirates’ home stadium, PNC Park, isn’t a friendly place for hitters, but McCutchen has put up monster numbers regardless. Actually, it’s not a stretch that his 2012 season was actually better than his 2013 MVP performance. I fully expect left fi elder Starling Marte to improve at the plate, potentially giving McCutchen plenty more RBI opportuni-ties. If Pedro Alvarez puts it all together like he did at the end of 2013 and during the playoffs, McCutchen could fi nally have that lineup protection that assuredly costs him hittable pitches. OTH-ER CANDIDATES: Bryce Harper, Hanley Ramirez, Freddie Free-man. DARK HORSE CANDIDATE: Carlos Gonzalez.

AMERICAN LEAGUE CY

YOUNG AWARD: Felix Hernandez, Seattle Mariners — There are a plethora of options in the pitching-rich American League. The biggest threat to King Felix might be fellow A.L. West ace Yu Darvish. Darvish has posted great statis-tics the past two years and strikes batters out at a freakish rate. The thing that scares me about Darvish is play-ing home games in the Ballpark in Arlington. It’s a hitter's paradise and a stadium that sees balls fl y out at a high clip in the sum-mer months. Is Darvish good enough to over-come that? Of course, but I’ll take the ace that plays in a pitcher’s haven. Hernandez has long suffered from a lack of offensive sup-port, but the signing of Robinson Cano should improve second base defense and put some more runs on the board for the M’s. In fact, the presence of Cano in the lineup should help out all of those fringe play-ers the Mariners run out there on a regular

basis. What could still hurt King Felix is the so-so bullpen. How often will he leave with a one-run lead only to see it blown and cost him the ever-important “win” on the stat sheet? There’s no way I feel confi dent in this pick, but I feel confi dent that Hernandez will once again be one of the top pitchers in the game. But of course, there could be a breakout star like Max Scherzer last year that rises up to take the award. OTH-ER CANDIDATES: Chris Sale, Darvish, David Price. DARK HORSE CANDI-DATE: James Shields.

NATIONAL LEAGUE CY YOUNG AWARD: Clayton Kershaw, Los Angeles Dodgers — Kershaw is already off to a nice start with a 1-0 record and more than a strikeout per in-ning pitched. He might also have the slight edge in that the Dodg-ers can trot him out again when they open in the States. He’ll have two games pitched before a majority of the other pitchers have even one. And knowing Kershaw, he’ll almost certainly have two wins. While the Ameri-can League has a pleth-ora of proven starters that could challenge for the award, it seems the N.L. has a host of young hurlers that could take their games to a whole new level this season. Miami’s Jose Fernandez won the

Rookie of the Year last year and could have challenged for the Cy Young if not for an in-nings limit. That could hold him back this year, too, as he’s still a very young player. The St. Louis Cardinals have a number of arms that could challenge Kershaw. Adam Wain-wright is an obvious name, but keep your eyes on Shelby Miller and Michael Wacha. Those two could be the future aces of the entire National League. But until someone either A) proves they can hit Kershaw or B) is somehow better than Kershaw, I’ll take the Dodgers ace all day. OTHER CANDI-DATES: Fernandez, Wainwright, Stephen Strasburg. DARK HORSE CANDI-DATE: Gerrit Cole.

Next week I’ll take a look at some Rookie of the Year candidates as well as potential Manager of the Year and maybe even a Comeback Player of the Year or two. Be sure to check that out.

The deadline for the free rodeo camp on April 26, sponsored by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Associa-tion at the Gerry Fire Department’s rodeo fa-cilities, has been set for Wednesday, April 23, but entries will close earlier if the maximum number of 40 partici-pants is reached prior to that date.

This event is open at no cost to anyone at least eight years old, from beginners to those just starting to participate in rodeo, who are inter-ested in learning more about the rough stock events of rodeo from some of the top champi-on cowboys from across the nation. Among the subjects covered are chute procedures, safety, riding equip-ment, fi tness, nutrition, injury prevention, and livestock care. There will be no live buckouts.

The New York State DEC Region 9 Fisheries Offi ce will be running an angler diary program on the Genesee River in Allegany and Wyo-ming Counties. The program will run from March 1st through October 31st, 2014. This program will cover the portion of the river from the PA line, downstream through Letchworth State Park, and will record data for both trout and bass fi shing trips.

If you fi sh the Genesee River (even once) and would like to keep a diary for DEC please call the Region 9 Fisheries Offi ce at (716) 372-0645 or e-mail fwfi sh9@gw.dec.state.ny.us. This diary program will be used to evaluate the quality of the fi shery and determine future management actions.

Lake Erie Tributaries

The creeks are all open and were running a little high and stained on Thursday. Additional snowmelt will likely keep stream levels up through the weekend. The smaller streams or upper sections of medium sized streams are best bets for fi sh-able fl ows, but expect mar-ginal conditions. Egg sacs, egg pattern fl ies, trout beads and jigs with grubs work well in cold water conditions, drifted slow and deep. As we transition into spring, look for steelhead to hit additional baits such as stonefl y imita-tions, streamer patterns, min-nows and nightcrawlers.

For those new to steelhead fi shing, see the Steelhead Fishing in Lake Erie Tribu-taries page for information on steelhead fi shing equip-ment, locations and links to stream maps.

Lake Erie HarborsThe entire inner portion of

Dunkirk Harbor is open wa-ter. Anglers have been catch-ing good numbers of rainbow trout for the past week from the city pier, fi shing platform and from boats. Minnows fi shed under a fl oat or spoons have worked well. Barcelona Harbor is still iced-over, but is another place to target trout just after ice out. An-glers casting spoons from the Cattaraugus Creek breakwall have been catching some steelhead this week.

ice FishingThe thick ice sheets on the inland waters are still thick and holding up well. Shore ice is starting to get thin-ner in some areas so watch your step near shore. Anglers should stay well away from areas off stream inlets. Also keep in mind that ice thick-ness can vary greatly on the same body of water. Before you head out on the ice this winter, remember that a min-

imum of 3 to 4 inches of solid ice (blue or black, not white) is the general rule for safety. Drilling holes or tapping with a spud bar to check ice thick-ness is recommended on your way out. Safety ice picks, boot cleats, a throw rope and a fl oatation device are recom-mended safety supplies. Use good judgment and fi sh with a friend when possible. Those new to ice fi shing can check the Ice Fishing Basics page for more information. See the Lake Contour Maps page for maps organized by county.

Buffalo Small Boat HarborThe inner harbor still has good solid ice. Anglers still see a steady bite from small yel-low perch and sunfi sh, but re-port a few more keeper perch as of late. Jigs with grubs or small minnows work well.

Chautauqua LakeChautauqua still has a thick main ice sheet and shore ice is good in most places. Areas off

stream inlets are starting to open up, so avoid those spots. Anglers are picking up some crappie around the south basin is spots like Driftwood, Ashville Bay and Lakewood. Some catches have been reported off Mayville as well. Target crappie in 5-10 feet of water over weed beds. The crappie bite has been best the few hours before and after sunset. The yellow perch bite has been better in shallower areas. Jigs with grubs or verti-cal spoons/jigs with a small minnow are good bets.

If you need more fi shing information or would like to contribute to the fi shing report, please call or e-mail Mike Todd (716-851-7010; mttodd@gw.dec.state.ny.us) or Jim Markham (716-366-0228; jlmarkha@gw.dec.state.ny.us). Good Luck Fishing!

The fi shing hotline can also be heard at (716) 679-ERIE or (716) 855-FISH.

Former Pirates pitcher, World Series Cham-pion and All-Star, Kent Tekulve will be the guest speaker for a luncheon hosted by the Jamestown Jammers at the Conewango Club in Warren, PA on Monday April 7th. The event is sponsored by Northwest Savings Bank and less than 100 tickets of the original 200 still remain available.

Tickets for the event are $15 and must be purchased in advance by calling the Jammers front offi ce at (716)-664-0915. A traditional buffet lunch featuring

chicken, pasta and additional sides will be served to all attend-ees. Doors will open at 11:30am, and the luncheon is scheduled to run from noon until 1pm. Tekulve will be available for an auto-graph signing after the speaking portion of the event is completed.

The Jammers staff is excited to share the experiences of a re-spected Pirate Alumni. "The opportunity to bring the celebrated Tekulve to our fan base in Chautauqua County and Warren, PA was a possibility we could not pass up. I anticipate this event will be sold out, so I urge you to get

your tickets as soon as possible," said Jammers General Manager Mat-thew Drayer.

Tekulve is currently a Pirates analyst for Root Sports Pittsburgh. Tekulve signed as a free agent with Pitttsburgh in 1969 and made his major league debut for the Pirates in 1974. He spent 11 years with the Pirates and went on to play for both the Philadelphia Phillies, and Cincinnati Reds before retiring in 1989. Tekulve played a cru-cial role in helping the Pirates win the 1979 World Series by saving 3 games including the decisive seventh game. He was an All-Star

in 1980. Tekulve was known for his unique submarine delivery. He pitched in 1,050 games and had a career re-cord of 94-90. He had 184 saves and a career ERA of 2.85. Tekulve also led the major leagues in appearances on four different occa-sions (1978, 1979, 1982, 1987).

The Jamestown Jam-mers are the Class A affi liate of the Pitts-burgh Pirates. They are owned and oper-ated by a local Buf-falo company, Rich Products Corporation, which also owns the AA Northwest Arkan-sas Naturals and AAA Buffalo Bisons.

Fredonia State upset nationally ranked St. John Fisher, 10-7, in women's lacrosse Tuesday for the second straight season.

Junior midfi elder Ma-rissa Cussins (Corn-ing, N.Y.) scored six goals to lead the Blue Devils' attack for the second time in two seasons against the Cardinals.

Fredonia State de-feated Fisher, 14-13, in double-overtime last seaon on a game-win-ning goal by Cussins. The Cardinals were then, like now, ranked No. 14 nationally by the IWLCA, while the Blue Devils were unranked, same as this year.

The victory was the fi fth straight and lifted the Blue Devils to 5-2. The Cardinals fell to 5-2.

The Blue Devils jumped out to a 3-0 lead on goals by Cussins, junior mid-fi elder Katie Kleine

(Cazenovia, N.Y.), and freshman attack Em-ily Polizzi (Rushville, N.Y.) in just under nine minutes.

Cussins scored three more times and Polizzi once more to push the lead out to 7-1. The Cardinals gained a measure of momen-tum with a player-down goal by Jill Zerrillo in the fi nal minute of the fi rst half.

Fredonia State took its largest lead, 9-2, on two more goals by Cussins -- giving her 12 goals in the last two games and 13 against St. John Fisher the past two seasons --

before the Cardinals made things interest-ing. They scored three straight goals, and fi ve of the last six in the game. Blue Devil freshman goalkeeper Jessica Zagari (Roch-ester, N.Y.) made two key saves down the stretch to keep the score from getting closer.

In addition to her one goal, Kleine had two assists plus team-highs for ground balls (3, tied with two team-mates), draw con-trols (3), and caused turnovers (4). Senior defender Mary Bruton (Palmyra, N.Y.) also had 3 ground balls

and 3 caused turn-overs, and Zagari had 3 ground balls in addi-tion to 8 saves.

Junior attack Katie Glagolev (Webster, N.Y.) had one goal.

Sierrra Badger and Taylor Hughes had 2 goals each for St. John Fisher. Samantha Barton was credited with 2 ground balls, 2 caused turnovers, and 6 draw controls.

Fredonia State enters SUNYAC play this weekend -- the fi rst of seven conference games -- when they visit Oswego. Game time is 1 p.m. Satur-day.

Ashley Keller (Lock-port, N.Y.) fi nished 11th and Katelyn Haley (Canandaigua, N.Y.) was 12th in women's 3-meter springboard diving Saturday at the NCAA Division III Swimming & Diving championship meet.

The two Fredonia State seniors each earned Honorable Mention All-American status – the fourth time for Keller and the fi rst for Haley, who was competing in her fi rst NCAA championship meet. Keller scored 433.15 points and Ha-ley 431.8 for an 11-dive program.

Saturday's competition on the campus of Indi-ana University-Purdue

University Indianapolis brought an end to the Blue Devils' 2013-14 swimming & diving season, which began last October, as well as the fi nal collegiate meet for the two seniors.

They were joined in In-dianapolis by freshman Arron Carlson (LeRoy,

N.Y.), who competed in men's springboard div-ing and earned Hon-orable Mention All-American status in the 1-meter competition. The divers were also accompanied by diving coach John Crawford, diving assistant Chris-tian Torres, and Blue

Devil swimming & div-ing head coach Arthur Wang.

It was the ninth straight year Fredonia State had at least one diver, or either gender, at the national meet, and the ninth straight year with an Honorable Mention All-American or better.

Fredonia State junior right-hander Kelsey Gannett (Endwell, N.Y.) has been named SUNYAC Pitcher of the Week in women's softball.

Gannett appeared in four games last week during the Dot Rich-ardson Spring Games in Clermont, Fla. The highlight of the week was a 3-0 no-hitter over Framingham State. She pitched out of several jams of her own doing (6 walks and 1 error) and was backed by one defensive jam, a diving stop up the middle by second baseman Kim Lotocki (Hamburg, N.Y.).

Gannett recorded 29 strikeouts in 21 1/3 innings of work and posted a 2.62 earned run average during the week. Her season totals are a 2-3 record with a 2.22 ERA.

The Blue Devils -- 3-6 on the Florida trip -- return to action Sat-urday at Buffalo State, the fi rst of nine SUNY-AC doubleheaders on the 2014 schedule.

The Fredonia State baseball team fell 15-5 to Wisconsin-Platteville on the fi nal day of the team's spring trip.

The Devils struck

fi rst as a Dan Ceci-lia ground out plated Kenny Johnston.

An eight-run second in-ning got the ball rolling for the Miners.

The Devils answered right back with four runs

in the top of the third to make it an 8-5 game. Following a double by Conner Lorenzo and a single by Ciro Frontale, Ricky Mendiola plated thie fi rst run with a base hit. Mike Prentice doubled in the next run,

and Johnston singled home the third run of the inning. Quinn Danahy grounded out to score the fourth run.

From there, the Devil offense would stall. Platteville scored a run

or more in the fourth, sixth, seventh and eighth innings.

Mendiola had three hits to pace FSU. Lorenzo, Johnston and Prentice each added a pair of safeties. The

Devils used seven pitch-ers in the contest.

The Devils wrap up the trip with a 5-8 mark. They are scheduled to play Hilbert College at home on Wednesday afternoon.

The Montreal Canadiens used a strong third period to fend off the lowly Buffalo Sabres.

Carey Price made 24 saves and Max Pacioretty and Daniel Briere scored third-period goals to lead the Ca-nadiens to a 2-0 victory over the Sabres on Tuesday night.

Pacioretty's goal was the 100th of his career. The Ca-nadiens earned their third win in a row and the sixth in seven games - a stretch that included a 2-0 win in Buf-falo on March 16.

''Mentally, the emotional high to come back and get motivated for a game against the Buffalo Sabres was the toughest part,'' Briere said. ''We were a little sloppy in the first period, no doubt about it, but it got better as the game went on.''

The Sabres have one win in their past 10 games. They played their fourth game of a five-game road trip that ends

Thursday in Nashville. Their top player was goalie Matt Hackett, who made 33 saves in his second start of the season.

''You have to give the kid credit. He played well,'' Buf-falo coach Ted Nolan said of Hackett. ''He looks like he's fighting for a job and that's what you want.''

The Canadiens had played three games in four nights, including a 4-3 victory in

Toronto on Saturday and a win against the rival Bruins in Boston on Monday night.

With eight regular season games to play, they are two points up on Tampa Bay for second place in the Atlantic Division, but the Lightning have two games in hand.

''This is a very important time for us,'' Price said after his fifth shutout of the season and 24th of his career. ''Ob-

viously, everybody's trying to make the playoffs and to be able to pick up points against divisional teams and play well - it's definitely a confidence-builder.''

The win in Boston was costly as two fourth line players left with injuries.

Coach Michel Therrien said Dale Weise, who was checked from behind into the boards, has an upper-

body injury and will be out for two to three weeks. Travis Moen, who jumped to Weise's defense and got rocked by a punch from Boston's Kevan Miller, ''feels better'' but has a concussion and will miss at least a week.

Already missing Brandon Prust to an injury, the Cana-diens had a new fourth line of Lars Eller with Ryan White and Michael Bournival.

They may have had the most jump on a team that looked short on energy to start the game.

Through two scoreless peri-ods, the loudest cheers from the Bell Centre fans were for a sharp Price save on Matt D'Agostini during a Sabres power play and when Olym-pic moguls gold medalist Alex Bilodeau was shown on the scoreboard screen.

''The first period was even, we even outshot them, but we couldn't keep it going into the second,'' Nolan said. ''Then there were bad penal-ties again.''

Montreal broke the scoreless tie on a rush af-ter a Buffalo power play when Thomas Vanek slipped a diagonal pass that Pacioretty put in off Hackett at 10:53 of the third period.

Briere picked the puck out of a crowd and beat Hackett with a wrist shot from close range on a power play at 16:54.

''What I liked was that we didn't change any-

thing when it was 0-0,'' Therrien said. ''We stuck to the game plan and we were rewarded. Hackett played really well for them, but we were patient and disci-plined with the puck.

''I expected a tough start after the wins in Toronto and Boston.''

The Canadiens had a four-minute power play in the second period when D'Agostini was

called for holding and got an extra two for banging his stick on the glass in protest, but failed to cash in.

Sabres defenseman Ty-ler Myers left the game at 6:15 of the third when he looked to hurt an arm or his ribs crashing into a goalpost. There was no immediate word on his condition.

Myers was in his first game since sitting out

five with an arm injury.

Notes: With Weise and Moen both injured Monday in Boston, Eller and White returned to the Montreal lineup. Jarred Tinordi replaced veteran Francis Bouillon. ... Ville Leino, who is without a goal in 51 games this season, was back for the Sabres after sitting out two games in place of injured Zenon Konopka. ...

Adam Silver says he's heard the ''Bill Gates theory'' numerous times from critics over the last month: You shouldn't be required to attend college to become a millionaire.

But the new NBA com-missioner believes bas-ketball players should spend at least two years in college - instead of just the currently required one.

Fair or not, he said it's simply best for the league. Speaking before Monday's Rockets-Bob-cats game in Charlotte, Silver said: ''I think two years is the right balance.''

That means if Silver had his way, Jabari Parker and Andrew Wiggins would be staying another year in school. But there's little he can do about that.

An agreement between the league and the players' association is not imminent.

''I've heard all sides of the issue,'' Silver said. ''I've had players say that a young man should have the right to earn a living at 18 and I've had others say we'd be a better league with more experienced players. I'm sensitive to both sides of the issue and it's not something that I could unilater-ally change even if we wanted to. It's an issue that would have to be collectively bargained with our union.''

Silver said the NBA has

been waiting for the players' association to appoint a new head of the union before begin-ning negotiations on a potential change.

The NFL currently requires players to be three years removed from high school before being eligible to enter the draft.

Silver also believes there should be input from colleges. He said at this point he hasn't had any formal dis-cussions with college

administrators.

''We say one-and-done players, but in most cases it's really one semester and done, because they're com-ing in and retaining their eligibility for one semester and then if the team makes the tour-nament, they continue playing and once they lose, they prepare for the draft,'' Silver said. ''In an ideal world, four years of college would be appropriate, but I recognize that's not realistic.

''There has to be a balance in terms of the economic opportunity and us putting the best product on the floor in the NBA. It's awfully risky to use your first pick on someone with limited experience in college and, to me, the right balance would be two years.''

Silver said there is no economic benefit for the league on whether or not a player enters the league at 19 or 20 years old.

After high school, things re-ally got interesting.

“My grandfather subscribed to The Sporting News,” Lindquist explained. “You’d flip back to the last couple pages and there’d be ad-vertisements in it. There was always Joe Brinkman Umpire School and Harry Wendelstadt Umpire School. The Joe Brinkman business card ad always stuck out to me. I wrote a letter to them requesting more informa-tion. I got hand-written letters from Minor League umpires encouraging me to stick with it.”

Stick with it Lindquist did. Upon graduating high school, he drove himself down to Cocoa, Florida to attend the five-week long umpiring program at the Brinkman Umpire School.

“Umpire school is basically boot camp for umpires,” Lindquist said. “You’re go-ing for 10 hours a day, six days a week for five weeks. You do rules in the morn-ing for three or four hours, break for lunch, then you’re outside doing drills for three or four hours. Then a lot of times you’ll have another workshop at night or you’re studying for the test you’re going to take the next day.”

“There were 130 guys in my class,” Lindquist con-tinued. “They picked 10 to go to the next stage of the development program. Then they picked five to be on the reserved list. I was the youngest guy there and I was one of the five put on

the reserved list. Joe Brink-man pulled me aside and told me I’ve got the talent and the makeup to do this. But I’m young. He told me to go back home, go back to school, get some college in me and come back in a couple years.”

After umpiring in the Cape Cod League — doing 48 games over the course of six weeks — Lindquist attended and played baseball in the Fall at Jamestown Commu-nity College.

“Then in the Spring I had a decision to make,” Lindquist added. “Do I play baseball or do I umpire? I was a good baseball player, but I knew I couldn’t make a living doing it. I thought maybe I could make a living umpiring. The Spring rolls around and I’m umpiring the first game for JCC instead of playing in it.”

After completing a two-year degree in business adminis-tration, Lindquist resumed his quest to become a profes-sional baseball umpire. This time he went to the Jim Evans Umpire Academy.

“I did that for five weeks and finished in the top-10 in my class,” he stated. “Then I went to the PBUC (Profes-sional Baseball Umpires

Corporation) development program in March. I got invited back to that. From there I was one of 23 people that was selected for a job in professional baseball. That’s the long story of how my career started. But by the age of 14 I knew that’s what I wanted to do.”

Umpires are subject to a strict grading system. Umps that grade well will be rewarded with promo-tions to the next level of pro ball. They hope for that promotion from Double-A to Triple-A the same way players do.

“PBUC has evaluators, a lot of them are former umpires, that come around three or four times a year and watch you and your crew work,” Lindquist explained. “They’ll watch you and grade you and will come back into the locker room and go over what you’re doing right and what you’re doing wrong. Is your head down behind the catcher where you don’t have full vision of the plate? Is that pitch coming in and your head is moving? Is your angle that you’re taking and your distance from first base correct? Are you 15-18 feet from first base at a 90-degree angle from where the throw

is coming from? They’ll critique all of that and let you know where you need to make improvements.”

The actual plays on the field are easy for fans to see, but there are a lot of other fac-tors that an umpire con-trols for a baseball game. They work with the general manager and managers of the teams to decide whether to start a game in case of inclement weather. They are the ones to call for the tarp if the weather gets bad during a game. The um-pires work with the grounds crew to see if the field can be made playable again. Of course, there are also the interactions with angry managers and the benches during a game that must be handled by the umpires.

“How you handle those situations factors into your grade,” Lindquist said. “Once you get to that level everybody can handle call-ing balls and strikes and safe and out. It’s whether you can handle the situations that come up.

“For five years that grad-ing system was very good to me,” he continued with a laugh. “After the sixth year, not so much. One

of the things they always critiqued me on was my running style. I’m 6-foot-3, 220 pounds. I don’t run like these professional athletes. I also wish I would have paid more attention in high school Spanish class. With the influx of Latin Ameri-can players, especially at the lower levels, there’s absolutely a communica-tion barrier. If I would have been bilingual it would have given me one more card in my deck.”

People that watch the World Series will see an umpire crew made up of six men on the field. Every regular season game at the Ma-jor League level has four umpires, one at every base and one behind home plate. But in the majority of the Minor Leagues, the crews are made up of only two or three guys. Hall-of-Fame umpire Nestor Chylak once said, “Umpire’s heaven is a place where we work third base every game. Home is where the heartache is.” Well, Lindquist disagrees with that.“I always loved being the plate umpire,” he said. “It was my field. I was in control of the pace. I was in control of both dugouts. As a base umpire you’re running around and you’re moving, but there are times when your eyes wander a little bit. You’re looking into the stands and you’re having a hard time concen-trating. If you’re not 100 percent focused for that game you can get yourself into trouble on the bases. As a plate umpire, that can’t happen.”

Note: Be sure to check next week’s edition of the Chautauqua Star for the continuation of this story. Lindquist will share inside stories from his encounters with coaches, players and fellow umpires.

CHAUTAUQUA STARFRIDAY, MARCH 28, 2014 35

By Jenna FryerAP Auto Racing Writer

Kyle Larson was ninth on the final restart at California, with four rows of traffic to navigate in two laps in a frantic bid for the best finish possible. With Kurt Busch and Tony Stewart at the front, Larson wasn't even thinking about victory.

''Tony's going to win,'' Larson radioed his Chip Ganassi Racing team.

''Man, these restarts are crazy. You never know,'' replied crew chief Chris Heroy.

So Larson went for the win.

He weaved low on the start alongside team-mate Jamie McMur-ray, but quickly surged ahead. Then he blew past childhood idol Jeff Gordon and found himself in a side-by-side race with Paul Menard. Using the apron, his wheels inching danger-ously close to the infield grass, Larson quickly cleared Menard.

He gained five spots on the first lap, and now had just three cars in front of him. He again drove low. As Kyle Busch passed his older

brother and Stewart for the lead, Larson swept past Stewart and tucked in behind Busch.

He looked inside for the lead, but Busch threw a block that stopped Larson's momentum.

No matter. Second was just fine for the rookie.

''Wow,'' Larson said after following Busch across the finish line at Auto Club Speedway. ''Wow! Wow! Good job!''

He beat Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick on Sat-urday for his first win in a Nationwide Series race, then seemed to use everything he'd learned from watching the big names all those years to nearly steal Sunday's victory, too.

Larson, you may recall, is the former sprint car driver that's been raved about by Kasey Kahne, Stewart and Gordon for years. They'd seen what he could do in a car, including one magical night in 2011 at Stewart's Eldora Speedway, where Lar-son became only the second driver in history to win in all three kinds of USAC cars in a single night.

Although his interest was in IndyCar, he was

snapped up before the 2012 season by Chip Ganassi and placed in a NASCAR driver development program. He was 19 and compet-ing in a stock car for the first time in his life.

He was placed in the K&N Pro Series East and won two races and the championship.

Larson was in a Na-tionwide car the next year. His debut was bumpy - he was the driver who sailed into the catchfence in a last-lap wreck at the season-opener at Daytona, but Larson went on to finish eighth in the final

standings. He raced almost weekly against Kyle Busch, mixed it up with Brad Keselows-ki and Joey Logano, sometimes Harvick and Matt Kenseth.

Come July, Ganassi was ready to promote him to the big leagues. It meant parting ways with longtime driver Juan Pablo Montoya, who had a relationship with Ganassi spanning more than a decade that included an India-napolis 500 win and a Champ Car title.

Critics cried the kid wasn't ready. After just two years in stock cars?

Those critics didn't in-clude his car owner, his fellow competitors or Target, which finances the No. 42 Chevrolet.

''It's amazing what Nationwide racing will do for you when you're racing against Cup guys,'' Kyle Busch said. ''It's no surprise Larson is good. He gets the ex-perience there of rac-ing against me, Kevin, racing against guys like Matt Kenseth. Once he got here, he was more ready.

''Now that he's a Cup guy and performing well on Sundays, it gives him the confi-dence and the belief in himself and his team that he can do it Satur-day and Sunday both.''

Larson is the fresh new face that represents the future of NASCAR. He's the first to reach the big leagues, but there's a whole crop behind him in 18-year-olds Chase Elliott and Dylan Kwas-niewski, Ryan Blaney, and Ty Dillon.

It doesn't hurt NA-SCAR's diversity initia-tive that he's Japanese-American with a backstory - his mater-nal grandparents were among the thousands

of Japanese Americans sent to a California in-ternment camp during World War II.

What matters now, though, is what he can do in a race car.

He can be quiet and unassuming. He doesn't get rattled, is never awe-struck in the company of all the big stars he watched on TV as a boy, even as he's lining up next to them on the starting grid every Sunday.

Larson did get annoyed, however, in January when he convinced himself he bombed during his first stint of the Rolex 24 at Day-tona, his first career sports car race. But he bounced back, just as he did when he crashed at Daytona, or the five times before Sunday that he'd run second to Kyle Busch or Kesel-owski or Logano in a NASCAR race.

''I was right on Kyle down the backstretch and it went through my mind, 'I might sweep the weekend here,''' Lar-son said, smiling. ''We will take a second. It seems like I run second a lot in stock cars, but I will take a second.''
