March brings (at least we hope) sunshine, spring and the thaw that we so look forward to. With the spring thaw comes a New York State trademark- the sweet and savory taste of Maple Syrup. The New York State Maple Producers association is taking advantage of the high production time by launching into its nineteenth year of ‘Maple Weekend.’ 146 maple producers from all over the state, that have registered with the organization, participate in the growing weekend. We spoke with Lloyd Munsee of Lakewood, who is not only the owner of Big Tree Maple but also the local Maple Weekend coordinator for Chautauqua County, who shed some light on the history of Maple Weekend, and what 2014 will have to offer. Star: Can you tell us about Maple Weekend? Munsee: This is the nineteenth annual Maple Weekend. It started as an event called ‘Maple Sunday,’ and quickly expanded from just one Sunday into two weekends. This year, the two weekends are March 22 and 23, and March 29 and 30. The hours run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. All three of Chautauqua Coun-

we’ve got you covered! ty’s participating producers are open all four days. Maple Weekend is a statewide event sponsored by the NY Maple Producer’s association. To be an official participant, sugar producers need to belong to the association and pay the membership fee. It is free to any family or individual that wishes to come. There is free admission and lots of good things to taste and eat, as well as various activities to take part of at each place. Each sugarhouse has their own agenda of what they’ll be doing that day. There are a total of 146 participants statewide this year, and three of them are located in Chautauqua County. Big Tree Maple in Lakewood is one of them, the second is
Clear Creek Farm in Mayville and the third is Fairbanks Maple in Forestville. Star: How many years has Big Tree Maple participated in Maple Weekend? Munsee: We’ve participated each of the 19 years. Star: Is there a place that people can find more information about Maple Weekend? Munsee: The real source for information is the website, www.mapleweekend. com. There’s lot of information on there and new for this year there is a statewide Maple Weekend contest on Facebook. If they go to our website, they can enter the contest to win a $25 maple weekend gift certificate. It has information on all
the locations statewide, the hours, pictures, history and can answer any questions they have. It’s a great resource. Star: How does the cold weather affect MW? Munsee: Well, maple syrup production is all about the weather. It’s mostly determined by the weather that you have right at the time that you want to make maple syrup. In some previous years spring has been early and at this point we were already in the process of making syrup. With this year being so cold, we’ve had a couple of small flows but it’s been very limited. But, we haven’t really gotten into the main production season so that’s not totally unusual.

nessee. He introduced her to a computer program called QLab, which allows users to design and operate high-tech multimedia performances from a Mac OS X computer. For Dale’s 2004 production, single images from a DVD were projected 60 feet from the stage with a special wide-angle lens. Dale’s scenic design featured three layers of surfaces on which the projections were displayed, providing depth and dimension. Davis contacted Eric Hadley, Technical Director and Operations Manager at Rockefeller Arts Center, SUNY Fredonia. He recommended that CLCS construct four “hard legs” – similar to tall, narrow, rigid “curtains” – to be hung
on the stage. Crews built framed luan flats, painted white and covered in muslin. Two are 4 feet wide by 16 feet tall, and two are 6 by 16 feet. These, together with the large “cyclorama” curtain at the rear of the stage, provide five projection surfaces. Although Chautauqua Lake has a projector installed in its auditorium, the “throw” – the distance from the projector to the stage – and the dimensions of the resulting image were deemed inadequate for this purpose. Chautauqua Lake’s Director of Technology, Derek Svenson, researched the possibilities of an additional lens, separate “short throw” projectors, or even using two projectors. Continued on pAge 17

Enactus Team Works For Economic Progress In Belize Contributed Article the largest growing SUNY Fredonia
A team of SUNY Fredonia’s Fred Global Enactus students traveled to Belize recently to begin their mission of empowering local artisans to improve their standard of living. The team formed strategic partnerships with the National Institute of Culture and History and the Rotary Club of Belize to help in this effort and support Belizean children’s education. With the tourist trade
form of commerce in Belize, the team knew that by helping artisans and people dependent on tourists, they would be empowering families to increase their income and subsequently support their children’s education. They met artisans where tourism was greatest, which included the Mayan ruins area, San Pedro and Belize City. Once the team better understood the needs of the artisans’ families, they worked with local business leaders to begin to
outline programs that would make a difference. “We learned also learned that Belizean artisans faced the same challenges local student and community artisans (in the U.S.) face in trying to establish a sustainable income from their passion in art,” commented student Nikoleta Vujovic. The group became partners with Rotary Club of Belize City, which offered insight on the safety needs of the artisans, workshop possibilities, and the possibilities to form coop-
eratives that would aid with costs and exporting. The Rotary also emphasized the need to invest in the trades within Belize schools. “A lot of traveling takes place for these artisans, which creates a barrier for their children and their education. Many children eventually drop out of school due to lack of funds or absences when the children accompany their parents,” shared senior Chelsea Lydic of Fredonia, one of the traveling Enactus students.

who had traveled with education students last January. While in Belize the team also field-tested another Enactus program, “Say it Forward,” in the local middle school. A Belize education team helped the Enactus group prepare for working with Belizean children. Team members Kelly Franck, Brandon Peishel and Jill Burgess worked with students to build their awareness and focus on random acts of kindness while building their public speaking comfort level. The team planned to implement “Say it Forward” this semester in Dunkirk schools after its great success in Belize. After the team returned to SUNY Fredonia, the students were inspired
to continue stimulating artisans and growing the economy in Belize. The team hopes to leverage their efforts with a planned return to Belize in January 2015. Enactus is an international organization that has about 66,500 students participating on over 6,100 community outreach projects. The organization brings together students, academics and business leaders who are committed to using the power of entrepreneurial action to enable progress around the world.

Cookies are another easily customizable dessert, especially sugar cookie cutouts. This treat can be adorned with sprinkles, flowers, or even the couple’s monogram. After decorating and allowing the icing to set, cookies can be individually wrapped, displayed at a place setting, or put into a basket for guests to pick from before leaving the reception. Cutouts, like pretzels can also be made far ahead of time and then frozen to keep fresh for the wedding day.
4. donuts
Although this confection is not homemade, the packaging is. Much like the almonds pictured above, these donuts can be tailored to your style. This particular idea would be especially cute for a couple who met in a coffee and donut shop, had a first date there, or have a tradition of meeting for coffee and donuts together.
5. fresh fruit
Fruit is another uncommon, but still appreciated gift. There are plenty of different fruit choices available, along with cute sayings that can be ‘peared’ with each one. A display could be made with different fruits to be ‘picked’ similar to a farmer’s market and placed into bags to take home and enjoy later. Whether you use a simple custom sticker, or wrap a cute little fruit package for guests, this token of appreciation is sure to impress.

Think about calling in the backup (Grandma) for this one. Preparing these favors could turn into a jammin’ party! With endless flavor combinations, homemade jams and fruit preserves make a simple yet heart-filled package to take home.

Schools for higher learning were just that, but a woman from the 1950s era was taught that one must choose between a career and marriage since both were obviously not viable or achievable options in the modern world of sixty years ago.

for the rights to have choices and their struggles were transparent to the current generation of girls like my daughter that couldn’t imagine life without the ability to make her own choices. Today’s girls and women are no longer defined by the boundaries of their husband or spouse. They can join the armed forces, attend graduate school, travel abroad, join the Peace Corps, got to college or get a job. They can get married, remain single, have children or adopt. They can have a career and a family, and no longer have to make a choice between them. Women can choose a technical trade, a professional career, own her own business or take a simple hourly wage job as a source of income. As for finishing schools, they are now defunct as women no longer require training for marriage. My daughter found it hard to believe that the options for girls and women were so different back in her grandmother’s days as compared to now. And she was grateful that times had evolved for her and her sisters. So was I.

written to the local churches where believers gathered. This shows that God speaks to church bodies. If you are not there, you can miss what He has for you, including the answer to your prayer. Another example of how our behaviors can influence our prayers can be seen in Matthew 6:14-15. Although many interpret this passage as if God will punish us if we don’t forgive others, I read it differently. In this prayer, Jesus says that having unforgiveness interferes with God's being able to forgive us. We can pray for forgiveness of our sins and God wants to forgive us, but if we haven't forgiven others, our heart becomes hardened. A hardened heart can't receive from God! Remember…we are called to walk in love towards others, even people who’ve hurt us in some way (Matthew 5:43-44). Forgiveness is all about love, and love enables our prayers!

people have a Bartimaeus-like attitude about God. People today rarely pray, go to church, or study their Bible. God’s supply for your life will walk right past you if you let it. God’s power does not flow in random directions. It flows to the ones who cry out for it and pursue it. Secondly, we read in Mark 10:50 that Bartimaeus “cast away his garment” as he ran to Jesus. History tells us that the Roman Empire in those days would require blind people to wear a government issued garment if they wanted to legally beg for money. That garment represented the world’s reality for Bartimaeus. In the eyes of the world he was worthless, beggarly, and someone to command to remain quiet. The world defined him as pathetic. But that day, though he was blind naturally, Bartimaeus “saw” that another reality was possible. He tossed off all the labels the world pasted on him and ran towards the new reality of God’s power. What labels has the world tried to make you wear? Divorced? Sick? Depressed? Poor? Get into a good Bible teaching local church and learn how to toss off the garments the world has put on you!

You’d be hard pressed to find a better mix of size, speed and talent than the Jamestown Red Raiders boys basketball team. Until you look at the Jamestown Lady Red Raiders basketball team. Both Jamestown teams proved to be the best of the bunch in claiming Section 6 Class AA championships last weekend. For the boys, Quinn Lee Yaw made it look effortless with 26 points, 15 rebounds and three assists in the relatively easy 60-40 Jamestown win over Clarence. He scored those points on a sizzling 12-of-17 (70 percent) shooting from the floor. It’s the Red Raiders’ fourth sectional title in the past five years as Jamestown continues to build a deserving reputation as something of a dynasty. Lee Yaw had plenty of help from Zack Panebianco, who poured in 18 points to go with four steals on the defensive end. It was hard to believe, watching the way Jamestown handled the Red Devils from start to finish, that these two teams actually split the regular-season series at a game apiece.

Jamestown head coach Ben Drake made sure to give special praise to sophomore guard Zacc Kinsey, who was giving up nearly 11 inches in guarding Clarence’s star player, Ryan Funk, who finished with just five points and was frustrated all game long.

nearly as easy of a time against No. 3 Williamsville North in the girls Section 6 Class AA championship game. Jamestown breezed into the Far West Regionals with a 58-42 win. It’s Jamestown’s second consecutive sectional championship. As she has for most of the season, Chrisanna Green proved to be unstoppable with 29 points and 12 rebounds. Anne Campion was a force as well with 15 points in the win. The two teams combined for just nine points — a 7-2 Jamestown advantage — in the second quarter, but the Lady Red Raiders really broke the game open after coming out for the second
half with a dominant 16-7 third quarter. Of note was the time of the game. Already scheduled for a late 8:15 start, the game was delayed for an hour due to two overtime games played on the court earlier in the day. The fact that Jamestown didn’t miss a beat, even playing much later than it was used to, proved this team has the mental toughness as well as the talent to make a deep run in the playoffs. The Far West Regionals will be held Saturday at Finger Lakes Community College. As the Section 6 champion, Jamestown will take on Section 5 champion Gates Chili at 3 p.m.

If you’re a sports fan, chances are pretty good that you’re familiar with the documentary series on ESPN 30 for 30. Even if you wouldn’t call yourself a sports fan, these documentaries often hit on historically significant events or people and are worthy of a watch. The series spans 30 years (since the inception of ESPN in 1979) and highlights sporting events, athletes or coaches that might not have received national attention at the time.

pine Valley girls, Sherman Boys Claim Class d Championships By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
Chautauqua County flexed its collective muscle in the Section 6 Class D high school basketball playoffs as seven of the eight combined teams in the boys and girls semifinals were country residents. When the dust settled, it was the Pine Valley Lady Panthers and the Sherman Wildcats each hoisting a sectional title above their heads. Pine Valley, the No. 1 seed in the girls bracket, earned a firstround bye and awaited its opponent in Round Two. When Sherman drew the challenge, the Lady Panthers were refreshed and answered the bell to the tune of a 41-34 victory. That set up a date with Panama in the Class D finals. It was the first time in school history that the Panama girls basketball team advanced to a Class D championship game. Pine Valley, meanwhile, is one of

Nearly Every Team Optimistic In Balanced American League
By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
While it’s borderline impossible to correctly predict how a 162game Major League Baseball season will play out, it never stops people from trying. This is the time of the year when everyone is an expert and every team can make an argument why it’ll be hoisting the World Series trophy in October. Last season’s prediction in the Chautauqua Star were rather solid. It’s easy to forget that the eventual World-Series champion Boston Red Sox were coming off a horrible year and were already being buried by the national media. But the Star saw something great in Beantown. Likewise, the talking heads were basically crowning the Washington Nationals as World Series champs before a pitch was thrown, but the Nats didn’t even make the playoffs, losing the National League East to the Atlanta Braves. Which paper correctly predicted that? That’d be the Star. The Los Angeles Dodgers and Detroit Tigers were easy picks, but they too made the Star look smarter than most national writers. Now that the bragging is out of the way, let’s get down to looking at the 2014 American League. It’s a league where realistically, 12 of the 15 teams have a shot at representing the A.L. in the Fall Classic (sorry, Astros,

the Rays are predicted to finish atop the most competitive division in sports — pitching. The Rays have it in spades. David Price is back despite an offseason full of trade rumors. The 2012 Cy Young Award winner is followed in the rotation by 17-game winner Matt Moore and youngsters Alex Cobb and Chris Archer. The fifth starter spot is up in the air with Jeremy Hellickson out for the first eight weeks of the season after elbow surgery, but knowing the Rays, they probably have some hidden superstar in their Minor League system waiting to come up. The offense centers around superstar third baseman Evan Longoria and rightfully so. He led the team with 32 home runs and 88 RBI last season. However, Longoria should have plenty of help this year with a full season from right fielder Wil Myers. The five-tool player won A.L. Rookie of the Year honors last year and should put up huge numbers in year number two. In the bullpen, enigmatic closer Fernando Rodney is gone, replaced with the equally abrasive Grant Balfour.

it possible a few of these guys bounces back in 2014? Sure. It’s also possible the Blue Jays actually perform worse than they did last year and start a massive rebuild project by 2015. The odds are probably better for the latter.
TORONTO BLUE JAYS
AMERICAN LEAGUE CENTRAL
(Projected finish: 4th) — The Blue Jays were favorites to win the A.L. East last year. They return nearly the exact same roster this year. Yet you’d be hardpressed to find anyone outside of Canada that actually thinks the Jays will be in the playoffs this year. The reason? 2013. It was a season in which the rotation imploded, the bullpen faltered, the superstars couldn’t stay healthy and dreams were dashed in a matter of weeks. Like the Orioles, the offense should be fine, it’s the rotation that is the biggest question mark. Jose Bautista is one of the most feared hitters in the game when healthy. Jose Reyes is looking back to form in Spring Training. Improvement is expected from Melky Cabrera and Brett Lawrie. Edwin Encarnacion has as much power as anyone in the game. But the rotation was shelled last year. R.A. Dickey was awful. Mark Buehrle was the worst pitcher in the A.L. for the first half of the season. The rest of the rotation — Kyle Drabek, Brandon Marrow, J.A. Happ and Esmil Rogers — is full of first-round busts and untapped potential. Is
that the White Sox will trade anyone and everyone at the deadline. It’s a stretch to think Chicago will be in contention in a loaded American League as late as July. As a neat sidenote (because not much can be said about this team): DH Adam Dunn has either struck out, walked or hit a home run in just about half of his career plate appearances, the highest percentage in the history of baseball.
CHICAGO WHITE SOX
(Projected finish: 4th) — The White Sox have problems galore up and down their roster. Perhaps nothing sums up Chicago’s situation like this: John Danks, he of a 4-14 record last year with an ERA approaching 5.00, will get paid nearly $16 million in 2014. Chris Sale is a bona fide ace at the top of the rotation, but the rest of the quintet is a mess. It’s seriously ugly. And it’s not like the team has a strong, shutdown bullpen it can lean on to bail out the shaky starters. Though the White Sox do have one player that should be a real intrigue this upcoming season — Cuban first baseman Jose Abreu. The 6-foot-3, 255-pound masher has huge power potential but will have to adjust to both the Major League game and the American lifestyle. There are a handful of players that might be able to put together nice seasons, but chances are pretty good
CLEVELAND INDIANS
(Projected finish: 3rd) — The Indians surprised a lot of people last year by taking the division race down to the final days of the regular season. Many expected the Tigers to run away with the Central, just as many people are calling for that now. The Indians, however, believe their time is now. It’s hard to get excited about their chances though. Free agent signing David Murphy is coming off a terrible year. Asdrubal Cabrera hasn’t been elite is a few seasons. Michael Bourn has fought injuries. Michael Brantley hasn’t exactly lived up to expectations, though 2013 was his best season yet. For goodness sake, John Axford is in line to take over duties as closer at the back end
of an already shaky bullpen. Justin Masterson has ace-type stuff at the top of the rotation, but a bunch of young unprovens (Zach McAllister, Danny Salazar) and has-beens (Shaun Marcum) are unpredictable at best. Carlos Santana won’t have to handle everyday catching duties and that should help him focus on improving at the plate. Jason Kipnis is up there with the best four or five second baseman in the league. So there are bright spots on this roster for sure, but one has to wonder just how much would have to go right for the Indians to repeat the success they had last year.
DETROIT TIGERS
(Projected finish: 1st) — After a few seasons of coming oh-so-close, the Tigers underwent some radical changes this past offseason. First-year head coach Brad Ausmus replaces Jim Leyland at the helm. Power-hitting first baseman Prince Fielder and his massive contract were shipped off to Texas for the much more balanced talents of second baseman Ian Kinsler. Two-time defending A.L.

As noted 81 Forest Avenue, Jamestown, New York 14701 earlier, the Royals sport a hugely underrated bullpen led by closer Greg Holland Representing Injured People and Their Families and power arms Tim Collins, Aaron Crow and Kelvin Herrera. The rotation is the question mark. James Shields, Jason Vargas, Jeremy Guthrie, Bruce Chen and Danny Duffy are all inningeaters, but are any of them ready to lead KC to the playoffs in 2014?
third baseman Nick Castellanos will get his shot at a starting gig. The rotation will be largely the same, headed by the last two A.L. Cy Young Award winners — Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer. Those two will be joined by holdovers Anibal Sanchez and Rick Porcello. The new face is Drew Smyly, who will move from the bullpen to take the place of Doug Fister, who was traded to Washington. At the back end of the bullpen, veteran Joe Nathan was brought in to handle closing duties and bring stability to a position that has been in flux in Detroit for a number of years. Normally when a team undergoes this many changes, it’s easy to see what might go wrong. But normally a team doesn’t have the best hitter in the
world, Cabrera, in the middle of its lineup and the two of the top pitchers in baseball in its rotation. It might take some time for the Tigers to mesh with the new manager and new players, but once they do, expect them to win this division by a healthy margin.

MINNESOTA TWINS
(Projected finish: 5th) — It would be irresponsible to not preface this paragraph with noting how powerful the Twins’ Minor League system is. They have power arms, power bats, five-tool phenoms, slick fielders — everything you could ask for. But that won’t matter for a few years. Right now, no team looks worse on paper. The pitching rotation of Ricky Nolasco, Kevin Correia, Phil Hughes, Mike Pelfrey and Vance Worley has to be the worst in the majors. It probably wouldn’t even be the best in the Minors. And yet, pitching might be what this team does best. Besides possible future Hallof-Famer Joe Mauer, who is moving to first base in hopes of staying healthy, the Twins’ lineup is laughable. Their second-most accomplished hitter is left fielder Josh Willingham, who hit a robust .208 last season. He’ll probably be shipped out for a prospect or two if the Twins can get it. Oswaldo Arcia is a young project in right field that might have some upside. Trevor Plouffe isn’t the worst third baseman in the league. Glen Perkins is actually one of the best
closers in the league, but that only ensures that he’ll be traded by the deadline in July. It’s going to be a long season for Twins fan, but unlike some organizations, they can at least look forward to a bright future.
AMERICAN LEAGUE WEST
HOUSTON ASTROS
(Projected finish: 5th) — Former Jamestown Jammers manager Bo Porter will once again lead the Astros in 2014, but hopes aren’t exactly sky high. For some reason the Astros spent some money to sign new closer Jesse Crain and staff ‘ace’ Scott Feldman and traded for center fielder Dexter Fowler from the Colorado Rockies. With what purpose, no one knows. No one, probably not even the players on the Astros’ roster, expects Houston to compete this year. They’re smack-dab in the middle of a rebuild project and the system’s best players are still in the low Minor Leagues. That said, Fowler is a nice player and catcher Jason Castro is a stud. Third baseman (and another former Jammer) Matt Dominguez is another up-and-coming talent that’s still adjusting to Major League pitching.

emptying And Cleaning Bird Feeders Can Limit Spread of disease Contributed Article became infected with NYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation
In January and February 2013, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) confirmed infections with the bacteria Salmonella in common redpolls that frequented bird feeders across 13 counties. No confirmed cases have been identified to-date in 2014, however it is the time of year when DEC receives reports of dead common redpolls that
Salmonella at bird feeders. Proper maintenance of bird feeders can help prevent disease transmission, particularly in these late winter months when songbirds are especially vulnerable. Salmonellosis or "Songbird Fever" is among the most common diseases associated with bird feeders. Outbreaks can affect many bird species including cardinals, goldfinches, sparrows, cowbirds and pine siskins. The bacteria can be shed in the bird's feces even
when the bird appears healthy. Salmonellosis can spread through contact with infected birds, contaminated seed, seed waste on the ground or water in bird baths. It is important to note that salmonellosis is a zoonotic disease and can be spread to both people and domestic animals. Other common songbird diseases that are spread through bird feeders are Mycoplasma Conjunctivitis (an eye infection of House Finches) and Trichomoniasis (an oral parasite
of songbirds, pigeons and doves). A bird feeder surrounded by the various species of birds is a common sight in many residential backyards. Bird feeders can be a safe and enjoyable way to watch birds from the comfort of one's home but under the right circumstances bird feeders can also be a place where diseases can spread very quickly between birds because of their close contact with each other. New Yorkers can help
curtail the spread of disease in songbirds by emptying and cleaning feeders and bird baths with hot soapy water at least every two weeks. It is also a good idea to soak feeders in a dilute 10 percent bleach solution and allow them to dry before re-hanging them. Waste seed on the ground beneath feeders should be cleaned up and discarded. Spreading feeders out and relocating feeders periodically can also limit the build-up of waste. Practice good hygiene when cleaning
feeders and bird baths by wearing gloves to handle seed waste and washing hands after performing maintenance. If you observe multiple sick or dead birds at your feeder, please report them to your local DEC office. A list of DEC's regional offices can be found on DEC's website. The Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology's Project Feeder Watch (link listed in the right column of this page) has a great deal of helpful information about feeding backyard birds.

Anglers should keep in mind that ice thickness can vary greatly on the same body of water, especially near springs and stream inlets. Before you head out on the ice this winter, remember that a mini-
mum 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 thickness is recommended on your way out. Safety ice picks, boot cleats, a throw rope and a floatation device are recommended safety supplies. Use good judgment and fish with a friend when possible.

coMMeNtArY, coNtiNued froM pAge 24 at the time, such as the infamous Nancy Kerrigan-Tonya Harding incident. What makes this series unique is that each film is directed by someone different, so each documentary has a slightly different feel and angle to it. Well sometimes being as sick as a dog for five or six days has its advantages. A lot of these documentaries are available on Netflix and I think I’ve watched upwards of a dozen over the past fever-filled, coughriddled, cover-me-withblankets-and-leave-mealone week. A lot of these are stories that I feel more people should know about. I’m certainly no film critic, but some probably could have been done better. Here are a few ESPN 30 for 30 films I’ve watched recently: • The Legend of Jimmy the Greek — I’m slightly embarrassed to admit this, but I had no idea who Jimmy “The Greek” Snyder was before watching this documentary. For those that still don’t know, he rose to the pinnacle of his profession on The NFL Today. His legacy is one of helping to make sports gambling popular in America. He brought that knowledge of odds and lines to national television (though it was often discouraged to actually openly say the lines on air). His career came to an abrupt and tragic end when he was filmed saying controversial things about black athletes. He

was branded as a racist and never worked on television again. It was very interesting hearing interviews with the people that were closest to Snyder. Colleagues whom he worked with for years shared behind-thescenes stories about this sometimes abrasive TV personality. It really made me think about what would happen if a celebrity made those kinds of remarks in today’s world of heightened sensitivity. • The Best That Never Was — This one highlights the football career of the supremely talented Marcus Dupree. Don’t know his name? I didn’t either, having not ever really been a high school or college football fan. But after watching this, I understand that Dupree is probably the best high school running back ever.
Playing in a small town torn apart by racial tension, Dupree helped bring the people together behind high school football. As an eighth-grader he was already bigger, stronger and faster than most of the varsity players. Needless to say, by the time he was a senior every college in America was recruiting him. Imagine yourself as 17-years old and coming home from school and sitting down with college recruiters until it’s time to go for bed, then doing it all again the next day. Lots of family involvement in the recruiting process, a shady man that claimed to be a friend and an exemption to play pro ball in the USFL made this one of the most entertaining episodes of the series. You can really feel badly for this guy that had pressures on him
that none of us will ever know. This is one that I highly recommend, even if you’ve never heard the name Marcus Dupree until now. • Four Days in October — Skip this section, Yankees fans. This one is the story of the Boston Red Sox amazing comeback from down three games to zero in the ALCS against their rival New York Yankees. No team had ever come back and won four in a row before, so it was already historic, but the fact that the Sox did it against the team that had owned them for the past 86 years made it that much sweeter. Honestly, this is one that could have been done much better. Obviously the director doesn’t want to make these documentaries too long, but I think they should have chronicled the emo-
tionally crippling past of Red Sox fans before this fateful series. It’s an important aspect of why this series was so important. Heck, even talking about Aaron Boone’s walk-off home run in the previous year’s ALCS would have helped. I never felt bad for the Red Sox or their fans while watching this. I should have. It’s more important than a team just winning four straight games, albeit in dramatic fashion. Yes, the four actual games were well chronicled. Curt Schilling’s great Game Six with his bloody sock. David Ortiz’s constant heroics. Johnny Damon’s backbreaking grand slam early in Game 7. My favorite part was when it was mentioned how Derek Lowe would have been a cultural icon for his performance in almost
any other series, but he was basically the fifth or sixth ‘hero’ on the Red Sox that series. It was funny hearing Johnny Damon talk about that series after the fact because he almost immediately traded in his Red Sox cap for the Yankee pinstripes. He was clearly torn about the whole ordeal. While I’m certainly glad I watched this one, it feels too recent to merit a documentary. And it feels too well documented to merit a 30 for 30. I much prefer the stories that I didn’t know so much about. Now obviously, those were just three that I happened to watch recently. According to Wikipedia (which I know isn’t the most reliable of sources) there are 59 full-length features and 19 shorts. I’ve seen probably half of them and will continue to write about the ones I’ve seen and watch the ones I haven’t. Please let me know what your favorite ESPN 30 for 30 is. I’d love to hear your opinions. Email me at stefan.gestwicki@starmediagroup.com.

because that makes it sound like there was something wrong with it here,’’ Murray said. ‘’I’m trying to establish a certain culture, and that’s you earn what you get. ... We have to create inner competition.’’ The key deal was Murray’s first of the day, when he traded defenseman Brayden McNabb, prospect forward Jonathan Parker and two secondround picks to Los Angeles. In exchange, the Sabres landed what Murray regarded as two promising prospects, forwards Hudson Fasching and Nicolas Deslauriers. Fasching, listed at 6-foot-2 and 213 pounds, is currently in his freshman season at Minnesota, where he is third on the team with 27 points (12 goals, 15 assists) in 31 games. Deslauriers, a
converted defenseman, has 18 goals and 21 assists in 60 games in his first AHL season with Manchester. For Murray, the two were valuable enough for him to give up a pair of draft picks (a second-round pick this year, and another one in 2016), which is not something he was anticipating to do. ‘’We need young players at every position,’’ Murray said. ‘’The two forwards we got back are heavy skilled forwards that we hope going forward are a big part of what we are.’’ The Sabres then dealt forwards Matt Moulson and Cody McCormick to Minnesota in exchange for forward Torrey Mitchell and two second-round picks (2014 and ‘16). They also traded goalie Jaroslav Halak to Washington for goalie Michal Neuvirth and defense-
man Rostislav Klesla. Moulson and Halak, who was acquired in the Miller trade, were expendable because both were in the final years of their contracts and unlikely to re-sign with Buffalo. Mitchell and Neuvirth both have one year left on their contracts, allowing the Sabres an opportunity to determine whether they fit in the team’s long-term plans. And then there was the addition of Conacher, who was claimed a day after being placed on waivers by Ottawa. It marked a homecoming for the second-year player, who spent his four-year college career playing for Canisius in Buffalo, and grew up in nearby Burlington, Ontario. At 5-foot-8 and 175 pounds, Conacher is an under-sized forward
who had a promising rookie season last year, when he had 11 goals and 18 assists in 47 games split between Tampa Bay and Ottawa. He has had difficulty fitting in with the Senators this year, with four goals and 16 assists in 60 games. Murray is familiar with Conacher, as he was the Senators assistant GM before being hired by the Sabres. And Murray said Conacher has the potential to fit what he’s attempting to build in Buffalo. ‘’His work ethic is terrific, and so is his character. So I want competition,’’ Murray said. ‘’I want one of our draft picks to say that they’re (unhappy) that we went and got Cory Conacher. That’s how you create competition.’’

The one-year price tag might not have scared the Bills from using it one more time. A bigger deterrent was paying that much money for a disgruntled player who
missed nearly the entire offseason last year before accepting his contract a day before the Bills broke training camp in late August. ''I wouldn't say those
words,'' Whaley said, when asked if he was frustrated by a failure to reach a deal. ''I would say, 'Hey, we worked hard. It's still not over yet.' Then, when it's over, I'll let the feelings seep into the equation.'' Byrd, selected in the second round of the 2009 draft out of Oregon, will have an opportunity to be among the top defensive backs available in free agency. He enjoyed a breakout season as a rookie, when he tied for the NFL lead with nine interceptions - a rookie franchise record. Last year, Byrd earned his third Pro Bowl selection. He finished tied for the team lead with four interceptions, and added a sack and a forced fumble despite missing the first five games of the season because of plantar fasciitis in both feet. Byrd has 22 interceptions and 11 forced fumbles in 73 career games.
The Bills could lose their top defensive back on a unit that showed considerable improvement last season. Though Buffalo struggled against the run, the defense finished 10th in the NFL in yards allowed - its best ranking since a second-place finish in 2004. The Bills also finished second in the league with a franchiserecord 57 sacks. The defense is in transition this offseason with Jim Schwartz taking over as coordinator. He replaced Mike Pettine, who left the Bills after one year to become the head coach of the Cleveland Browns. The Browns could be a potential landing spot for Byrd. They have plenty of space under the salary cap, and Byrd enjoyed playing under Pettine. The Bills made a roster move Monday by releasing linebacker Willie Jefferson, who was signed to a reserve/future contract in January.

fense to where it used to be,'' Williams said. ''I'm just blessed that they gave me that opportunity, and they trusted me to be here long-term to get this team back to where it started.'' Williams, Buffalo's second-round pick in the 2011 draft, was entering the final year of his contract. He was rewarded with the extension after success-
fully making the switch from cornerback to safety last season. In 14 games last year, Williams had a careerbest 82 tackles and tied Byrd for the team lead with four interceptions. Overall, he has five interceptions and two forced fumbles in 34 career games. ''Aaron is the type of young, core player we
targeted early in the process to retain for years to come,'' general manager Doug Whaley said in a released statement. ''We expect Aaron to continue to grow into a key contributor for the Bills' organization.'' The question is whether Williams will continue to develop alongside Byrd. This week, the Bills de-
cided against applying the franchise tag for a second consecutive year to retain Byrd's rights, opening the door for the fifth-year player to test free agency on March 11.

Wins Now Mean Everything In NASCAR
of a race, settling for a solid finish, thanking a long list of sponsors and the boys back at the shop, then exulting on live television about the great points finish. Points racing was already in his cross-hairs last March, when feuding drivers Logano and Denny Hamlin refused to give an inch as they raced for the win at California. Their stubbornness led to a wreck that took them both out of contention on the final lap, and France was hooked. He wanted drivers to race with that same passion and desire every week, and for wins to matter that much. So France overhauled the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship format, and a regularseason victory virtually guarantees race winners a spot in the 16-driver field. It raised the stakes a week ago at the end of an already frantic Daytona 500, and winner Dale Earnhardt Jr. reveled in his post-race celebration about not having to spend the next six months of the season worrying about the postseason. ''If everybody is telling the truth, we've won a race, we should be in it, so I'm not going to worry
know we have to be a little bit better and move on from here.'' As France said in the pre-race driver meeting before the Daytona 500, drivers have an opportunity each week to ''punch their ticket'' into the Chase. They can't ride around in second or third or fifth or eighth place anymore. They've got to talk strategy with their teams, crunch fuel mileage numbers, take risks and gambles. They've got to go for broke when the opportunity exists. They've Jimmie Johnson (48), Dale Earnhardt, Jr., back got to give 100 percent. left, and Kevin Harvick head into Turn 1 during the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series auto race Sunday, March Logano has three 2, 2014, in Avondale, Ariz.

Motorsports could use some trick strategy to luck into a win, make the Chase and change the entire complexion of their program. The format also gives a new lease to Danica Patrick, who a month ago simply wanted to consistently finish inside the top 20 this season and improve from last year. But should she now get a win at a restrictor plate race - or Michigan or Martinsville, where she runs well - then suddenly she's in the Chase, too. All it takes is a decent run and, in some cases, throwing caution to the wind. Earnhardt did it Sunday at Phoenix when crew chief Steve Letarte told him not to worry about saving fuel - a call Letarte would have made even without the Daytona 500 as a safety net. ''The new system definitely allowed us to be more carefree about that and not have to really think it over,'' Earnhardt said. In the end, Harvick cruised to the win. But he knew everyone was going to take their best shot, just as they will all season long.
