You may know him from the many Food Network and FOX TV shows including, ‘Hell's Kitchen with Chef Gordon Ramsay’, ‘Beat Bobby Flay’ and ‘Chopped’ to name a few. Now you will meet celebrity chef Robert Hesse here in Westfield any day of the week starting May 25, as he settles into his new venue "When Pigs Fly BBQ Pit" on the shores of Lake Erie at 8254 First Street, Westfield - Barcelona, NY. After Chef Hesse took one look at the beautiful beachfront location, he made the decision to leave his then current position as the highest paid chef in Erie, Pa. and come to Westfield, NY bringing his big ideas with influences from working under Guy Fieri and Bobby Flay, while keeping the small town sensibility intact. "Westfield is already on the map, I'm just going to enhance it," Hesse noted. The current establishment is undergoing a fast-paced major aesthetic renovation getting ready to serve every walk of life with Texas style dry rub BBQ cooked on a smoker made for the venue and named "Large Marge.” His goal is to bring people together in

Fredonia Celebrates Nearly 1,400 Among its Class of 2016 MAY 20, 2016 Contributed Article Fredonia
President Virginia S. Horvath shook the hands of nearly 1,400 students in Steele Hall Arena today as they walked, one by one, across the stage to receive their diplomas and earn their President’s congratulations. Fredonia’s 189th annual Commencement ceremony included bachelor’s and master’s degree recipients, as well as those earning advanced certificates, honored during two ceremonies at 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. on campus. President Horvath presided over the ceremonies, joined by a more than 20-person platform party which included her fellow members of the University Cabinet, members of the College Council, Senior Class President Stephanie Willis, and other campus and community dignitaries and student leaders. “Faculty and staff here have worked to help you find your voice and your passion, and to develop your independence in thinking and responsible action,” Dr. Horvath told the graduates. “From this point, it’s up to you to show what Fredonians can do. Your employers, your communities, your families, will see that you are skilled, creative, connected, and responsible. We’re counting on you to use all you have learned, to continue to learn as new questions and technologies arise, and to represent your alma mater proudly in all you do.” She added, “The example of your lives is the best advocacy for a Fredonia education, but we count on you to assist those who will follow you. With continued hard work, you will be successful in your professions and your lives. As you advance in your careers, please help us recruit the best students, build the network of successful alumni who can connect with students and programs, and share your story with those who are skeptical about the value of higher education.” College Council Chair Frank Pagano added his welcome, as well, noting, "To be successful, you don't have to be smarter than the next person; all you have to do is be willing to work harder than the next person." Senior Class President Willis of Queensbury, N.Y., who earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Communication-Public Relations, remarked about how the class came together to raise funds for the senior class gift, an outdoor pavilion stage, noting “It is our hope that this gift would exemplify creativity and opportunity. Fredonia is a place where everyone gets the chance to create, and we have left behind a permanent space for future generations to build their own legacy.” The Lanford Presidential Prize from the Oscar and Esther Lanford Endowment in the Fredonia College Foundation was presented by President Horvath and Vice President for Student Affairs David Herman to senior Julianne M. Foster of Rochester, N.Y., who graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Science degree in Communication-Media Management. In one of the several highlights of the morning ceremony, actor, singer and

teacher Judy Kuhn received an honorary Doctor of Fine Arts degree from the State University of New York, conferred by President Horvath and assisted by Dean of Visual and Performing Arts Ralph Blasting. In accepting the honorary degree, Dr. Kuhn told the audience that she will be in their place next week as she watches her daughter receive a bachelor’s degree, calling it a “profound passage.” She reflected on her experience at Fredonia in 2015 when giving a master class, calling Fredonia students, “open, eager and brave.” She told the graduates, “You must do what you love, to fulfill your own promise.” Fredonia then welcomed its keynote speaker, scientist, entrepreneur and alumnus Dr. Jeffery W. Kelly, ’82, the Lita Annenberg Hazen Professor of Chemistry and Chairman of the Department of Molecular Medicine at The Scripps Research Institute in California. Dr. Kelly reflected on his family’s pride at his own graduation, being the first in his family to receive a college degree. In his message to the graduates, Dr. Kelly said that a key skill in life was to know when you are failing, have failed, or are on your way to failure, “so you can adjust.” He noted a couple of challenging failures during his pursuit of a Ph.D. and during his professional life. “Life can beat you down if you let it, but the key is resilience. The ability to bounce back when faced with adversity.” Dr. Kelly CONTINUED ON PAGE 9

Saying Goodbye To A Legend SEPTEMBER 2, 2016 By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
People tend to go bonkers when a celebrity dies. Suddenly everyone was the world’s biggest Prince or David Bowie fan. While I admire certain celebrities for their respective genius, I’m not one to shed a tear over their passing. This one was different for me. Gene Wilder was and always will be my favorite actor of all time. There’s not even a close second. The man was a master at his craft. If you haven’t seen him in anything but Willie Wonka, do yourself a favor and binge watch his work. I’m the furthest thing from a film critic, but here are my top 10 Gene Wilder movies: 1) Blazing Saddles – Arguably my favorite movie of all time. An old west spoof that provides laughs from start to finish. 2) Young Frankenstein — Another Mel Brooks masterpiece in which Wilder steals the show. Quotable lines for days and an rivaled cast. 3) Willie Wonka — It’s a classic for a reason. Wilder’s portrayal of Wonka is hauntingly beautiful. Fun fact: the actor that played Charlie didn’t know Wilder was going to yell in that office scene. That reaction was totally real. 4) See No Evil, Hear No Evil — Wilder’s onscreen chemistry with Richard Pryor led to them becoming comedy’s all-time best duo. It’s close, but this one is my favorite of their arsenal. 5) The Producers — This was Wilder’s breakout role alongside another legend in Zero Mostel. Watch the “blankie” scene and you’ll fall in love with Wilder’s Leo Bloom. 6) Silver Streak — The first three movies on this list were already possibly my three favorite films ever. Then I found this gem in the bargain bin at Wal Mart when I was in high school. (kisses fingers) Bril-
liant. 7) Stir Crazy — Another Wilder-Pryor pairing that will have you laughing all the way through. It gets a little vulgar, but that’s kind of what Pryor does. 8) The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes’ Smarter Brother — Besides Pryor, Wilder also had incredible chemistry with both Madeline Kahn and Marty Feldman. Those three are at their zaniest here. At the very least, watch the Kangaroo Hop song. 9) Another You — This one is a little tough to watch because Pryor is in rough shape from his multiple sclerosis, but it hardly takes away from the duo’s comic genius. 10) Alice in Wonderland (TV movie) — This one doesn’t exactly “star” Wilder as it’s positively loaded

with stars, but Wilder’s song Beautiful Soup is my favorite moment from the entertaining take on Lewis Carroll’s classic tale. Honorable mention goes to: ‘The Woman in Red’ and ‘The Frisco Kid’, both of which are still in my collection. One of Wilder’s best-known titles is ‘Haunted Honeymoon’, which I’m embarrassed to say I don’t believe I’ve ever seen. With Wilder’s passing, that will be remedied. If you’re into biographies, I’d also recommend reading Kiss Me Like A Stranger, in which Wilder writes about his relationships with Pryor, Brooks, Harrison Ford and more. He also discusses his marriage to the hilarious Gilda Radner. There’s a lot of good stuff in that book. In short, I’ll miss you Gene Wilder.

It enabled me to reflect on the passions I truly wanted to pursue, and it was there to teach and mold me into the person I was destined to become.” He also urged graduates to “repay your debt,” by “using your skills, education, resources, good health, and good fortune to make the global village a better place for all of us.” Student performances were given by the Fredonia

Fredonia Opens New Addition To Rockefeller Arts Center NOVEMBER 11, 2016 By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
The State University of New York at Fredonia campus has undergone several exciting building projects over the past decade. The Juliet J. Rosch Recital Hall was added in 2003 and the Robert and Marilyn Maytum Music Rehearsal Halls further improved the music program in 2010. The beautiful new Science Complex drastically changed the look of the campus in 2014. In October, Fredonia held the longawaited grand opening for the major addition of a new Studio Complex to The Rockefeller Arts Center. The addition will bring almost all of the programs of the College of Visual and Performing Arts into one arts complex. The College includes the Department of Theatre and Dance, the School of Music, the Department of Visual Arts and New Media, the Rockefeller Arts Center, and the Marion Art Gallery. “I was hired on July 1, 2013 as the first dean of this new College,” Dr. Ralph Blasting explained. “For many years the arts programs were part of a larger college of arts and humanities. The decision was made to bring all the arts programs together as one unit." The Rockefeller Arts Center was built in 1969 and hadn’t really seen any major improvements in the past 47 years. In that time, however, the variety of arts majors and programs offered at Fredonia has increased substantially. Out of a total university enrollment of about 4,800, there are roughly 1,000 students in the College of Visual and Performing Arts. That massive number of students was perhaps the main driving force behind the new addition. “That was a strong factor because there are so many arts students on campus,” Blasting added. “We also hope to attract more students to Fredonia because the competition for students is significant not only in Western New York but across the state." The Studio Complex provides 40,000 square feet of new space. The additions include three new dance studios, five art studios, a new scenic paint shop and
a pair of acting classrooms. There was also renovation to the existing Rockefeller Arts Center space involved in the project. With an undertaking of this magnitude, there are bound to be obstacles. “This is the third building project I’ve been a part of,” Blasting shared. “There are two major hurdles when you’re doing construction. The first part is getting the funding approved. President Dennis Hefner accomplished that by telling the story — with supporting data — that says this is why this building is needed and how it’s going to serve the community. Once that’s approved, you get into the hard work of making sure the project stays on schedule and making sure you can still run your programs during the time of construction.” While the new studios and classrooms are currently up and running, renovation on others is still in progress. Everything is expected to be totally finished by Christmas of 2016. Once the faculty is officially moved in, it’ll put the entire College of Visual and Performing Arts under one roof. “The most exciting thing about this building ties into one of our main goals we have as a college, which is to work more closely together,” Blasting noted. “That doesn’t happen by the dean telling people to do it. It happens organically by people meeting each other. What this building does is allow people from different disciplines to simply meet one another. Scenic and lighting designers will be down the hall from the animation and the film and video people. The dancers walk past the scene shop. The musicians walk through this building and past the sculpture studios. You have students and faculty that are dancers, sculptors, designers, actors and musicians simply meeting each other by chance and that’s where collaboration begins.” While the new building won’t directly affect the general public – there is just one new dance studio equipped for a small audience – Chautauqua County residents should be excited for the aforementioned collaboration among the various arts. The creativity is nearly palpable in the studios, classrooms and even the hallways of the new building.

The future for Fredonia’s College of Visual and Performing Arts promises to be bright. “There are exciting things going on here almost every day,” Blasting said. “We are excited about this particular season. We’re about ready to open our Christmas show. The next thing that we’re now looking forward to is the
Hillman Opera, which will celebrate its 60th anniversary next fall. We’ll have a Hillman Opera alumni concert. That’ll be our next high-profile event.” A complete schedule of events for the College of Visual and Performing Arts can be found at home.fredonia.edu/ cvpa by clicking on the ‘Calendar of CVPA Events’ tab.

to have less done to your food. So here is a recipe to take some of the unnecessary ingredients out of your bread. It takes a little bit of time, but I’ll let you decide if it’s worth that time for your lifestyle or not. I’d also like to note that I let the bread rise for the second time over night and it didn’t take over my kitchen like the blob. I’m fairly new to baking with yeast, so I was a little concerned, but this bread turned out just fine (and delicious!) Basic White Sandwich Bread thekitchn.com Makes 2 loaves • 2 teaspoons active-dry yeast • 1 cup (8 oz) warm water • 2 tablespoons (1 oz) unsalted butter • 1 cup (8 oz) milk - whole, 2%, or skim • 2 tablespoons white sugar • 1 tablespoon salt • 5 1/2 - 6 1/2 cups (24 3/4 ounces 29 1/4 ounces) all-purpose flour Make sure the water is warm to the touch. If you can't comfortably hold your finger in the water for several seconds, wait for it to cool. Pour the water into the bowl of a standing mixer or large mixing bowl and sprinkle the yeast over top. Let this stand for 5 minutes until the yeast is dissolved. Melt the butter in the microwave. Stir in the milk, sugar, and salt. Pour 1 cup of flour and the milk mixture over the yeast. Stir until this comes together into a loose, lumpy batter. Add another 4 1/2 cups of flour, reserving the remaining cup if the dough is sticky during kneading. Stir until a floury, shaggy dough is formed. Using the dough hook attachment on a standing mixer, knead the dough for 8-10 minutes. Alternatively, knead the dough by hand against the counter. If the dough is bubble-gum sticky against the sides of the bowl or the counter,
add extra flour a tablespoon at a time until it is no longer sticky. The dough is kneaded when it is smooth, feels slightly tacky, forms a ball without sagging, and springs back when poked. Clean out the mixing bowl and film it with a little oil. Form the dough into a ball and turn it in the bowl to coat it with oil. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm spot until doubled in bulk, about one hour. Sprinkle a little flour on the counter and turn the dough out on top. Divide the dough in two and shape each half into a loose ball. Let the balls rest for 10 minutes. Grease two loaf pans or film them with non-stick cooking spray. Shape each ball of dough into a loaf and transfer to the loaf pans. It's important that the surface of the loaves be stretched taut; this helps them rise and prevents an overly-dense interior. Let the loaves rise a second time until they start to dome over the edge of the pan, 30-40 minutes. Heat the oven to 425° F about halfway through the second rise. Slash the tops of the loaves with a serrated knife and put them in the oven. Immediately turn down the heat to 375°F and bake for 30-35 minutes. Finished loaves will be dark goldenbrown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. Remove the loaves from the pans and let them cool completely before slicing. Loaves will keep at room temperature for several days. Loaves can also be wrapped in foil and plastic, and frozen for up to three months.

it. It’s an art form that you can pretty much make anything with. You’re basically taking wool and you’re interlocking the fibers to make a shape using barbed needles.” Bringing the Maker Faire to Fredonia was no easy task. Last year, an Invent To Learn event was held on campus. There was such a great response to that event that talk began of hosting a Maker Faire – a movement that has been going on across the United States for about 10 years. “I saw these happen in Rochester and in Buffalo and I wanted to get on in the Chautauqua County area,” event producer Bob Spino explained. “Rochester’s first was about the same size. Buffalo might have been a little smaller their first time. It’s been awesome. We couldn’t ask for better facilities to host it.” “Fredonia is already interested in hosting it again,” Carlson added. “They were interested before we even kicked this one off. We have high hopes. It’ll depend a lot next year on how well this one did and what sponsorships we can
get.” This year was funded entirely through sponsorship from either local or national businesses, all of whom should be thanked for their generosity. This year’s sponsors were: Manufacturer’s Association of the Southern Tier (MAST); Lumsden McCormick LLP; Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation; Fredonia Technology Incubator; Dell; Kensington tech supply; Make Magazine (makezine.com); the Fredonia Science Center; and Erie 2-Chautauqua-Cattarauges BOCES. The event’s volunteers also warrant mentioning as they were an integral piece to the Maker Faire’s success. The volunteers were comprised of E2CCB staff, makers’ family and friends, Fredonia Science Center professors and even some retired Fredonia and E2CCB workers. The Fredonia Mini Maker Faire was a collaboration between E2CCB, Fredonia and Make Magazine. More information can be found at www.makerfairefredonia.com.

Just the publicity for the Dunkirk Lighthouse itself is great. Once it goes out and people see it, they’ll want to come see the lighthouse.” The film was set to be filmed in Michigan, but the state took away the tax incentive for filming, so the independent film company started looking elsewhere. “There were other options,” Briska recalled. “They came here about a year-and-a-half ago and started looking at lighthouses along Lake Erie and Lake Ontario in New York to see which one would fit.” Since the company selected the Dunkirk Lighthouse as its location, Briska and his team have been busy prepping the grounds for filming. “It’s been constant,” he noted. “We need a fake building for one of the scenes, so we’ve been building that. We also had to put a fake building up over our tank. When they’re filming out in the field, they don’t want to see the tank so we have that fake building around
it. It’s only three sides and the inside is nothing but the 2x4s. We’ve had to build a few things like that to get ready. We had to find someone to cater the food. We had to get people with older cars because it’s set in like the 70s or 80s. It’s been a lot of running around and doing the little things.” The film is expected to be released in the fall of 2017, but there are rumblings of a special screening at the Dunkirk Lighthouse in the spring. Nothing is set in stone, but it’s possible that the local people will have a chance to preview the movie before it’s entered into the independent film festival scene. ABOUT THE DUNKIRK LIGHTHOUSE The Dunkirk Lighthouse was first established in 1827. The current 61-foot tower and Victorian residence have stood since 1875. Bricks from that original keeper’s house were used in the foundation of the current house. More information on the lighthouse can be found at dunkirklighthosuse.com or by liking “Dunkirk Lighthouse” on Facebook.

The Dunkirk-Fredonia Steelers are officially the New York State Mixed Division Club Hockey champions. Prior to last weekend, the Steelers had never even earned a trip to the state tournament, but after a couple of nail-biters mixed in with a couple of dominating performances, Dunkirk-Fredonia was alone atop the proverbial podium. “We just stuck with our gameplan,” head coach Jay Bishop noted. “We didn’t change our strategy. I’m so happy for our team.” The first game of the tournament began with a daunting task at Jamestown Savings Bank Arena. The Steelers’ first-round draw was against the East’s top seed and a team that participated in last year’s state championship game — LevittownHicksville. The game was physical right off the bat with the teams really trying to dictate the pace of play. It was Livittown-Hicksville that found the net early on, however. Luke Walker took the puck from deep in his own zone and weaved his way through a series of Dunkirk-Fredonia defenders before putting the puck into the top right of the net. That 1-0 lead stood despite a barrage of scoring opportunities for the Steelers. “I thought their goalie played great,” Bishop added. “We tried to get pucks low because he’s a big guy. It was just hard beating him.” With time winding down and under three minutes on the clock, the Steelers’ Mike Meredith scored the biggest goal of his career with a wrist shot that found the back of the net.

“Mike has just been a powerhouse on our forward line,” Bishop said of one of the game’s stars. “He got that goal and I was really happy for him.” The Steelers objectively outplayed their opponents for much of the second and third periods, but their coach was still happy to come away with the tie. “Absolutely,” Bishop said. “I’d rather have a win, but a tie is going to work for us the way the tournament is set up. We’re definitely in the hunt.” That statement proved to be quite prophetic. The next hurdle in Dunkirk-Fredonia’s quest for the championship came in the form of Locust Valley-North Shore, who the Steelers dispatched with a 3-1 victory on Saturday morning. The DunkirkFredonia goals came from Taylor Mattoon, Josh Crane and Meredith. Playing their second game of the day and with a chance to advance out of the round
robin play with the No. 1 seed, the Steelers exploded offensively for an 8-3 win on Saturday evening. Rockville Center kept things close for a while, but the Steelers’ four third-period goals sealed the deal. Chris Buchanan led the way in that game with a hat trick while Meredith continued his incredible tournament with a two-goal performance. Nick Walter also tallied a pair of goals with Stephen Formanowicz also finding the back of the net. Sunday was when it would all be decided. The Steelers were into the Final Four — undefeated after three solid performances leading up to Sunday morning. “That we can compete on this level gave us a lot of confidence,” Bishop admitted. The semi-final game will go down as one of the greatest sporting contests anyone in the stands will ever see. It was an instant classic in every sense of the phrase. After falling behind, 2-0, the Steelers CONTINUED ON PAGE 22

battled back with a pair of goal in the second period to even the score. Buchanan and Walter were credited with the goals. A scoreless third period set up a sudden-death overtime situation. Score a goal and the Steelers would be playing for a state championship. Allow a goal and the season comes to an end.

have so much to be proud of.” Gullo took over the Fredonia baseball program in 2002 and the Hillbillies have experienced nothing but success during his 15 seasons. With nine Class B1 or B2 titles, seven outright Class B titles, five Far West Regional titles and a pair of NYS Class B championships (2006 and 2013), Gullo has clearly proven his coaching chops. That said, he’s always quick to credit the magnificent coaching staff around him. “I think it’s the best coaching staff in the state,” Gullo shared. “Tim Cowen, Charlie LaDuca, Terry Presto, Jake McCune, Phil Schrader and Jimmy Rush (Schrader and Rush were the jayvee coaches, but joined the varsity team for the playoff run) — these guys come to practice every day. They’re such good teachers of the game. It’s so great to have a coachable group of kids. It keeps the coaches busy and we all have our jobs to do. I’m very proud that we’re working for the same goal. “This season was special because our assistant Terry Presto (who coached at Broc-
ton for 20 years) hadn’t been (to the state tournament) yet,” Gullo added. “It’s a whole new crop of kids that have never been there. It never gets old. In fact, when you get that close you know how important it is to close.” A loss in the state championship game is understandably going to sting for a little while, but it’s not uncharted water for Gullo. “We lost the state title in 2005 and I was never so happy,” he explained. “It was our first time going to states. This time losing in the finals, we really had a chance to win it all. I think the kids are going to bounce back fine. My coaching staff is taking it a little harder with the ‘woulda, shoulda, coulda’ situations. I haven’t stopped thinking about it. I still remember my mistakes from 2005 and 2009. I’ll learn and I won’t repeat my mistakes.” One of the more impressive aspect of this year’s run is that the team consisted of just two senior starters — Jared Burmaster and Michael Pucci. That leaves seven returning starters for next year’s team.
“Juniors Vince Gullo and Lucas Voss really had outstanding seasons,” Gullo noted. “Drew Coniglio and Cole Tippens earned jobs halfway through the year. Tyler Winchell, Reid Tarnowski and Ryan Mroczka — these guys play a lot of highlevel baseball. They’re young, but they’re experienced.” Even with a season filled with so much success combined with the returning talent, Gullo is always careful not to look too far ahead. “We always have to wait until we get there,” he said about next season. “I haven’t started thinking about that. I know there are schools that are going to be loaded. A lot of schools across the state set their goals to get back to states. Sometimes when you set the goal too high, you look past the opponent on the field that day. Every day is a new competition. We’ll see where we are and if we’re playing next June.” Congratulations go out to each and every member of the Fredonia Hillbillies team and coaching staff. Keep making Chautauqua County proud.

I walked the whole thing just to see it.” “I’ve never paid attention to (the Web.com Tour),” Bill from Jamestown said, “but I’m going to have to start. These guys are really good and it’s been a ton of fun to watch. I only came today, but in the future I’ll probably try to come all four days.” Despite the early tournament rain, Randall seemed thrilled with the tournament as a whole. “It’s been a huge success,” he said. “We couldn’t ask for a better Sunday. The weather is ideal. There are a lot of spectators. The play has been fantastic. You see that scores out there and they’re impressive. Even with the rain, players are just raving about the course.” This was the first year of a four-year contract between the Web.com Tour and Peek’n Peak Resort.

While ball season, the Marauders could have been forgiven for giving into the ‘woe is me’ mentality, but this team did exactly the opposite. The adversity did nothing but bring the team together towards a common goal. From that point forward, the Marauders were nigh unstoppable. In its first home game of the season, Dunkirk put a 42-0 beatdown on an unsuspecting, overmatched Eden team. The game provided some standout highlights. Quarterback Evon Hernandez escaped pressure and connected with Juan Damas on a 15yard touchdown on a 4th-and-10 play. Damas scored another big touchdown when he ran away from the defense on a 60-yard run. For the game, Dunkirk piled up 223 rushing yards on 39 carries. As good as that sounds, it actually turned out to be one of the team’s lower outputs during an impressive winning streak. In their third road game in four contests, the Marauders officially started a roll with a 33-6 drubbing of Pioneer. A run of 27 unanswered points was the key in this win – as was the continued success of Dunkirk’s three-headed rushing attack. All season long, Damas, Isiah Velez and Alton Ingram wrecked havoc on opposing defenses. Each (Photo by Ron Szot) By Stefan Gestwicki

CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, JANUARY 6, 2017
DUNKIRK FOOTBALL ENJOYS HISTORIC SEASON; UNITES COMMUNITY, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 25 bined with the chance to clinch a home playoff game - was just too much for FWB as the Marauders rolled to a 44-0 victory. That win gave Dunkirk the No. 4 seed in the playoffs and the right to host a playoff game – the first sectional playoff game in the history of Karl Hoeppner Field. After the prolonged playoff draught, the Marauders weren’t going to be satisfied just to be there. They were going to make the most of it. Hosting No. 5 Maryvale, Dunkirk exploded for over 400 rushing yards while simultaneously pitching a shutout in a 59-0 blowout win. That one playoff win probably eclipsed what many expected or even hoped Dunkirk would achieve, but the Marauders were far from finished. Elsewhere in the playoffs, No. 8 Lackawanna knocked off top-seeded Medina,
which gave Dunkirk yet another home playoff game. The Marauders, with a raucous home crowd behind them, dismantled Lackawanna, 38-8. That win set up a rematch with Cheektowaga in the Section VI Class B championship. Cheektowaga had won the last two titles and had already beaten the Marauders earlier in the season. Dunkirk wasn’t supposed to be here. Dunkirk wasn’t supposed to compete. Dunkirk certainly wasn’t supposed to win. But it did. Dunkirk did win. It was a 46-35 thriller that featured a huge contingent of Dunkirk fans at New Era Field (formerly Ralph Wilson Stadium), a dominating performance by the offensive line and a 226-yard effort on the ground by Ingram. When the final second ticked off the clock, Dunkirk was celebrating its first-ever
Section VI Class B championship. Of course, the work wasn’t done yet. The Marauders earned themselves a spot in the Far West Regional title game against the powerhouse Batavia. Like Cheektowaga the week before, Batavia was viewed as the favorite. It was the three-time defending Section V champions and had steamrolled its way to this point. Yet in a game for the ages, the Marauders were able to come away with a 50-48 overtime win. Ingram rushed for 240 yards and four touchdowns, including the go-ahead score in overtime. The Blue Devils had a chance to tie the game following an overtime touchdown of their own, but the Dunkirk defense was able to disrupt the play, sparking a wild celebration on the Marauders’ sideline and in the crowd of nearly 2,000 people who made the trip up to Orchard Park.
The win sent Dunkirk to the state Final Four where it was set to face the No. 1 team in the state — Chenango Forks. Traveling up to Syracuse for a date with destiny, the Marauders were sadly overmatched from the start as Chenango Forks ran away with a 41-8 win. Dunkirk’s stellar rushing attack was neutralized and the offense just couldn’t mount any attack until it was too late. Still, the season can be deemed nothing short of a rousing success. The entire community was energized by the football team. The players and coaches were greeted by adoring fans wherever they went. There was even a parade in their honor. The people of Dunkirk were ready for a winner and they got it. Congratulations to all of the players, coaches, cheerleaders, boosters, parents and anyone else that helped get this team to where it is. Next year should be a blast.

pretty old. We put a lot of time getting engines up and running.” Even with the less-than-ideal conditions and all of the improvement projects completed or in the works, Cerne and Pinker have managed to lower prices, offering some outstanding deals nearly every day of the week. “We’re sympathetic to our clientele,” Cerne stated. “This is Chautauqua County. We live here. We know the people here. People don’t have a lot of money but they want to golf. If we can pay the bills and still lower prices, I’m more than happy to do that.” The staff at Rose Brook has remained largely unchanged, though Cerne and Pinker did bring in some of their own people. “We had some friends that had been working here for a long time. We kept them,” Cerne said. “Most of the greens crew has been here a long time. I’ve been mowing most of the rough myself. After working indoors at the school for 32 years, I like being outside mowing the lawn.” Cerne and Pinker’s ownership promises to bring excitement to Rose Brook. Al-
ready this year there’s been a plethora of music, pig roasts and golf tournaments. “We’re committed,” Cerne reiterated. “I’m fortunate that I have a good pension and I don’t need to take an income from the golf course. Any profit that we make we’re going to put back into the course. My vision is that we’re open in the winter and we can have snowmobiles stop in for something to eat. I’d like to have the bar room be all windows. I’d like to move the carts to the end so you can sit there and see the course, which is beautiful. “We have the friendliest staff and we try to make things affordable. Come check us out.” Rose Brook Golf Course is a full 18hole golf course. It is located at 12486 Beebe Road, which comes off of Routes 5 and 20 between Tim Horton’s and Burger King in Silver Creek (just before the Thruway ramp).
