become a dirty word that most people know nothing about. There is a new movement in our society to allow ‘free-parenting’; treating children as adults and letting them learn their mistakes for themselves. How incredibly selfish and foolish we’ve become. It is our responsibility as parents to administer discipline to our children, and to train them up to become productive members of society. We are not doing our nation any favors by being harboring fertilization, 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 fit, 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. Scott Wise is the editor of the Chautauqua Star. Comments on this story of any other can be directed to scott. wise@star-mediagroup.com.

the news, the first thing I’ll do is see what it says about the parenting. Recently, there was a 15-year-old girl in Minnesota 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 conversations 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 privacy? 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

League of women Voters to Highlight Grape industry Contributed Article LWV
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 Discovery Center, located at 8305 West Main Road in Westfield on Wednesday, April 9 at noon. Grape growers, food processors and other interested public are invited. Luke Haggerty, viticulturist, will explain research projects and how they help 840 grape farmers growing 30,000 acres of grapes in four counties in New York and Pennsylvania. The recipient of a master’s degree from the University of Minnesota, Haggerty has a strong background in grape berry phenology. Last July, Mr. Haggerty became a team specialist 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 Chautauqua 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 Member Relations with National Grape Cooperative (Welch’s). His area of responsibility was crop estimation and harvest. Erdle is a graduate of Silver Creek High School. His degree in pomology is from Cornell University.
Lastly, Andrew Dufresne, an agricultural educator with New York’s Cornell Cooperative Extension and Peace Corps, from which he retired after 25 years. He will share his knowledge of the local agriculture and passion for the beauty of the region and its natural envirionment as it related to the grape industry. Dufresne will discuss the geology and influence of the Ice Age in the formation of the landscape and layout of the first Grape Escarpment. This extends 68 miles from Hanover to Harborcreek, Pa. Dufresne is a native of Vermont, receiving his bachelor’s degree from the University of Vermont. He spent two years in the
Peace Corps in South America, and earned his Master’s Degree in Agricultural Economics from West Virginia University. He is currently working with Concord Grape Belt Heritage Association to develop the Grape Discovery Center in Westfield, 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 Station 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 716-6724771 to be assured seating. You will be viewing several displays in the center and learning about the current environmental and economic impacts of the grape industry. A question and answer will follow the presentations.

Coffee Filter Easter Eggs

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 asking 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 making any one of these

Audubon Center and Sanctuary
If you ask any of the Education Staff at the Audubon Center & Sanctuary to name some of their personal heroes, certainly Audubon 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 Jennifer 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 offering 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,
ecotourism has enabled some protection of endangered ecosystems, and how the global demand for gold has put these same critical ecosystems in jeopardy. The talk will be illustrated with photographs 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 Jamestown Community College, where she teaches photography, video and multimedia storytelling. With a master’s degree in environmental 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, onequarter mile east of Route 62 between Jamestown, New York, and Warren, Pennsylvania.

The World Tour is a part of the Banff Mountain Film And Book Festival, which is held every year at the Banff Centre in Banff, Alberta, Canada. The festival itself actually takes place
each year in November as approximately 300 films 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 premiere event of its kind as it puts on display the

The festival annually attracts the biggest names in mountaineering, adventure filmmaking and extreme sports as presenters and speakers, with the event culminating with the awarding 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 Merchant" and "The Sea Of Rock," which both last less than 15 minutes but are packed full of dramatic and exciting scenes that will leave the audience gasping over the intensity of each adventure.

Opera House Cinema Series To Screen “Philomena”
Contributed Article 1891 Fredonia Opera House
The 1891 Fredonia Opera House Cinema Series will present 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 adoption in America. Philomena spent the next 50 years searching for him in vain. Then she met Martin Sixsmith, a world-weary political journalist who happened to be intrigued by her story. Together, 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 ultimately 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 published in 2009. It acted as a catalyst for thousands of adopted 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 combination of road trip, odd-cou-
ple comedy and heart-touching true story that will leave few dry-eyed.” Ann Hornaday, in the Washington Post, calls it “a clever, wrenching, profound story (that) underscores the tenacity of faith in the face of unfathomable cruelty.” Colin Colvert, in the Minneapolis Star Tribune, 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, “Philomena” 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 716-6791891. 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-supported not-for-profit organization located in Village Hall in downtown Fredonia. For a complete schedule of events, visit www.fredopera.org.

Last week, Goodell voted against the Assembly Majority’s one-house budget resolution because it lacked the needed education funding for Chautauqua County schools “The Majority’s budget proposal does little to provide equitable 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 governor’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 officials fighting to eliminate the outstanding GEA funding. Assemblyman Giglio and Sen. Young were also represented, and all three are pushing for greater GEA funding in this year’s state budget. In the Assembly’s onehouse budget proposal, the Democrat Majority directed the largest 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.

Carnahan Endowment for the Humanities. Audience members can meet Ms. Rausa and enjoy refreshments 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, sharing 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 lmmaker Buddy Hatton will offer an in-depth look at this Asian country when the World Travel Series at SUNY Fredonia presents “Korea— Then and Now” on Saturday, March 29 at 7:30 p.m. in King Concert Hall at Rockefeller Arts Center. This is the final 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. Consequently, Mr. Hatton noted the country has become “a source of endless possibilities.” The filmmaker’s journey begins in Seoul, where he said this sensation is most keenly felt.

The film includes stops at the royal palaces and gardens – where royal guards in colorful robes carry out traditional ceremonies – and at the War Memorial that honors 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 rapidly ever-growing city. Busan also has a rich history and the fi lm looks at its importance to the Korean War.

SUNY Fredonia Mainstage Series Presents Broadway Musical ‘RENT’
Contributed Article SUNY Fredonia
One of the longest running hits in the history of Broadway will be staged at SUNY Fredonia in April. “RENT,” the awardwinning rock musical, will be presented by the Department of Theatre and Dance as part of the Walter Gloor Mainstage Series. Six performances 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 Loughlin, chairman of the Department of Theatre and Dance. It will be his 29th Mainstage production, having previously directed 26 shows and having appeared in two productions 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 audience are separated,” he said. “We are going for a total involvement experience. We think we can make this happen 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

talent Larson really was. I have discovered that the piece is truly a musical feast.” Loughlin also said one of the show’s highlights is its “continued insistence that, despite every obstacle, one should always live in and appreciate the present moment, because 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 issues” about this show have been “overplayed over time, to the show’s detriment.” “This show is not about AIDS or homosexuality 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 passionately, 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 fierce need and determination to be free to live and love as they choose, is ultimately the most serious thing the show tackles. In my view, the rest is merely incidental to that story.” The Mainstage production is, however, recom-
mended for mature audiences only. RENT is sponsored by Niebel Realty as part of the Lake Shore Savings Season. Tickets are available through the SUNY Fredonia Ticket Office in the Williams Center, by phone at 673-3501 and online at fredonia. edu/tickets.

• If you have been injured in an auto accident, New York State Law requires the insurance carrier for the vehicle you were in to cover your related medical expenses and any lost wages (Insurance Law Section 5103).
• Recently, many insurance carriers are attempting to avoid this legal duty by paying biased doctors, often from outside the area, to support them in cutting off these important benefits.
CAMPBELL & SHELTON LLP has taken the following steps to protect our clients: • We will send an investigator to any suspicious exams and videotape the physician. • We will sue any insurance carrier who denies our clients their benefits without a valid basis (we recently obtained a judgment against Allstate for a client’s unpaid benefits, costs and interest). For these and many other reasons, if you are injured in an automobile accident you need experienced and capable legal representation as soon as possible.

The Weekly Word Developing Strongholds
Rev. Tim Stahlman Family Church Jamestown fcjamestown.org
Right now in your mind you might be asking, "What is a stronghold?" Many people have some interesting 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 strongholds in order to see victory. It is absolutely 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 definition of what strongholds are. 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 says, "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal (natural) but mighty through
God to the pulling down of strongholds." Verse 5 says, "Casting down IMAGINATIONS 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 imaginations 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, warfare, pulling down, and casting down to describe the battle we face against thoughts. Many people believe that the vices themselves are the enemy but many times the battle was lost first 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 living. If you are acting upon thoughts and imaginations that are against the Knowledge of God then you ultimately will cast from yourself complete fulfillment and God's plan for your life. For example, as a young man I fell into a pattern of living 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 satisfied and every time I needed relief it just took more and more alcohol to fill 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 fulfilling life. So how did that change? I changed my source for my thought life. I fed upon God's Word and let it fill my thoughts. My perspective changed and so did my life.

Rules of the sidewalk
By Dodi Kingsfield Contributing Writer
Now that the sidewalks are clear of ice and snow and drying out, walkers are out in full force, pounding the pavement while enjoying this favorite warm weather activity 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 reminders 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 human beings, the ability to walk. Walkers are an instant community of people with a general love of the outdoors, which makes following the basic rule of greeting one another an easy one to follow. While everyone is busy these days and always in a hurry, acknowledging the person(s) you are walking 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 unsafe situation does not occur when walking, it’s best to walk with a companion, two-legged or four-legged, when possible. Communicating 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 reflec-

Respiratory therapy upgrades Contributed Article TLC Health Network
The Respiratory Therapy Department at Lake Shore Health Care Center in Irving has been undergoing some changes focused on enhancing patient comfort, privacy, and the overall 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 Ambulatory Surgery area. “It’s really nice for our staff and our patients. Now, the patient area is completely separate from the office, meeting, and supply areas. There is also a dedicated entrance and comfortable 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 individuals 13 and over in need of assessment for lung disorders such as asthma, emphysema, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), and pulmonary fibrosis. Tests may also be ordered for those who have difficulty breathing in relation to other disease processes or other issues such as shortness of breath, coughing, 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 operation to assure a patient is appropriate for surgery. PFTs are also required for certain occupations, such as firefighters, or other positions that require the use of a breathing 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 information may call the department at 716-9517113. The department staff also encourages physician offices 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 comfortably 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 knowledgeable, so we make the patient comfortable. It’s a relaxing atmosphere,” Mrs. Smith said. “We reassure patients during the testing, answer a lot of questions about the disease process, and educate them as much as possible. We try to explain everything in a way that’s easy to understand.” The department’s medical 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, including registration, usually takes about an hour.

LinDqUiST SHARES STORiES OF MinOR LEAgUE UMPiRing CAREER By Stefan Gestwicki
WE’VE GOT YOU COVERED!
Star Sports Editor
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 officials 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 Community 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 baseball 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 field a baseball team. Left with few options, he started umpiring jayvee baseball games at the tender age of 14 — the same age as most of the players. ContinueD on PG 27
I always loved being the plate umpire. It was my field. I was in control of the pace. I was in control of both dugouts. - Benjamin Lindquist
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 first game when I woke up on Saturday 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 Pittsburgh 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 Dodgers run away with the division). Hey, with Arizona’s two losses to open the season, the Pirates technically have a full onegame lead over the Diamondbacks in that regard. ContinueD on PG 26

By John Wawrow AP 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 Wilson had just invested $25,000 to join Lamar Hunt and Bud Adams in helping establish the upstart American Football League. Wilson and the seven other owners were immediately 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 remembered as a ''visionary'' 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 developing pro football into

Bills Owner Ralph Wilson Dies At 95
America's most popular sport,'' NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said. ''He brought his beloved Bills to western New York, and his commitment to the team's role in the community set the standard for the NFL.'' New York Jets owner Woody Johnson called Wilson's death ''the end of a real important era.'' Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones referred to Wilson as ''one of the cornerstones of the AFL.'' And in Buffalo, where Wilson's influence 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 community of Buffalo and beyond. It's quite a loss.'' Wilson had been receiving 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 president'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. Special guy. They just don't make them like Ralph Wilson.'' Wilson earned a well-established 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 conscience 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 Super Bowl. They came close in the early 1990s, when the Levy-coached and Jim Kelly-quarterbacked 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 longest 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,'' Wilson 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 eventually being sold. Wilson expressed no interest of leaving the team to his family. He is survived by wife Mary, daughters Christy Wilson-Hofmann, 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 previously 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 ''starting 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 10year lease in December 2012 with the state and county to continue playing at Ralph Wilson 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 insurance and in the mid1930s 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 investing in the AFL. In 1964, Wilson traveled to the Winter Games at Innsbruck, Austria, where he slept on the floor of a reporter's room because all the hotels were booked, to help broker the AFL's landmark TV deal with NBC. Wilson always maintained 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 mid1990s, Wilson joked: ''It's such a great game, it'll survive us.'' Funeral arrangements have not yet been determined.

COMMEnTARY, COnTinUED FROM PAgE 24 As I watched Dodgers ace and two-time Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw mow down the Diamondbacks 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 candidates, right? So let’s take a look at the Most Valuable Player and Cy Young Award candidates for both the National and American Leagues. AMERICAN LEAGUE MVP: Mike Trout, Los Angeles 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 Cabrera. While I still think Cabrera is the best hitter in the American League, I think Trout fi nally gets some hardware this year. First off, baseball writers 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. Meanwhile, 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 fits 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: Cabrera, Evan Longoria, Chris Davis, Robinson Cano. DARK HORSE CANDIDATE: 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 losing 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 age27 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 baseball. 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 fielder Starling Marte to improve at the plate, potentially giving McCutchen plenty more RBI opportunities. 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. OTHER CANDIDATES: Bryce Harper, Hanley Ramirez, Freddie Freeman. DARK HORSE CANDIDATE: Carlos Gonzalez. AMERICAN LEAGUE CY
YOUNG AWARD: Felix Hernandez, Seattle Mariners — There are a plethora of options in the pitchingrich American League. The biggest threat to King Felix might be fellow A.L. West ace Yu Darvish. Darvish has posted great statistics the past two years and strikes batters out at a freakish rate. The thing that scares me about Darvish is playing home games in the Ballpark in Arlington. It’s a hitter's paradise and a stadium that sees balls fly out at a high clip in the summer months. Is Darvish good enough to overcome 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 support, 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 players 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 confident in this pick, but I feel confident 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. OTHER CANDIDATES: Chris Sale, Darvish, David Price. DARK HORSE CANDIDATE: 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 inning pitched. He might also have the slight edge in that the Dodgers 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 American League has a plethora 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 innings 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 Wainwright 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 CANDIDATES: Fernandez, Wainwright, Stephen Strasburg. DARK HORSE CANDIDATE: 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.

Fredonia State's diving contingent at the NCAA Division III meet this week were, from left, coach John Crawford, senior Ashley Keller, freshman Arron Carlson, senior Katelyn Haley, and assistant coach Christian Torres.
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 Indianapolis by freshman Arron Carlson (LeRoy,
N.Y.), who competed in men's springboard diving and earned Honorable Mention AllAmerican status in the 1-meter competition. The divers were also accompanied by diving coach John Crawford, diving assistant Christian Torres, and Blue
Devil swimming & diving 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 Richardson 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.

Sabres Shut Out By Canadiens, 2-0
Contributed Article Associated Press
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 thirdperiod goals to lead the Canadiens to a 2-0 victory over the Sabres on Tuesday night. Pacioretty's goal was the 100th of his career. The Canadiens earned their third win in a row and the sixth in seven games - a stretch that included a 2-0 win in Buffalo 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,'' Buffalo 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 Canadiens 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 periods, 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 Olympic 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 penalties again.'' Continued on pg 33

The Man Behind The Mask Part 1 of 2, continued from pg 24 For his senior year Lindquist transferred to Falconer Central School, where he played on the baseball team with and against the same players that he had been umpiring for during the previous three seasons. After high school, things really got interesting. “My grandfather subscribed to The Sporting News,” Lindquist explained. “You’d flip back to the last couple pages and there’d be advertisements 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 information. 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 going for 10 hours a day, six days a week for five weeks. You do rules in the morning 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 continued. “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

Larson Dazzles In Drive To The Front At Fontana
By Jenna Fryer AP 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 teammate Jamie McMurray, 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 dangerously 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 Saturday 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 Larson 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
Those critics didn't include 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 experience there of racing against me, Kevin, racing against guys like Matt Kenseth. Once he got here, he was more ready. ''Now that he's a Cup Kyle Larson, center, gets drenched by his team in Victory Circle after his win in the NASCAR guy and performing Nationwide Series auto race in Fontana, Calif., well on Sundays, it Saturday, March 22, 2013(AP Photo/Alex Gallardo) gives him the confisnapped up before the standings.

of Japanese Americans sent to a California internment 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 Daytona, 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 Keselowski 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,''' Larson said, smiling. ''We will take a second. It seems like I run second a lot in stock cars, but I will take a second.''
