Discussion continues on possible merger of local school Districts oFFiciaLs From Brocton and WestFieLd scHooL systems to HoLd Joint meeting next montH By Daniel Meyer Star Contributing Writer

The possibility of two local school districts merging will be the main focus of a special joint meeting next month in Chautauqua County. The boards of education who represent the Brocton Central School District and Westfield Academy and Central School District have scheduled a special joint meeting for Thursday, April 11 at 6 p.m. in the Brocton Central School Auditorium to discuss the proposed merger. The meeting, which will be open to the public, will focus on the contents of a recently released report nearly 300 pages in length that recommends the implementation of a three-phased approach to combining the two districts into one school system. Consultants from the Western New York Educational Service Counsel are encouraging that the merger take place through the introduction of nearly two dozen recommendations for how the newly designed district should be structured. Their findings come from information they compiled that the consultants say show that cost savings for taxpayers can be achieved and educational

Senior Copy Writer Westfield Academy and Brocton Central School are the two latest districts to look at merging.

opportunities for students can be improved upon and expanded if the merger occurs. School board members and other district administrators from both districts have been carefully reviewing the report so that any questions or comments they have on the data can be addressed at next month’s joint meeting. In today’s day and age of constant scrutiny of public entities,

the merger discussion should come as no surprise to Chautauqua County taxpayers. Locally, a study was done and a public vote was held in 2009 to merge Westfield with the Ripley Central School District but the proposal was voted down. There were also studies done back in 2008 that looked at the possibility of merging Brocton and the Fredonia Central School District, and various other neighboring school

districts in Western New York have either worked together to conduct internal studies or hired consultants to look at the possibility of merging and consolidating their operations. And of course many local residents remember the public vote in 1995 that resulted in the merger of Chautauqua Central and Mayville Central the followcontinueD on pg. 11

Lost Places Chautauqua County of

the Dulcier Factories of sherman and stedman corners By Peter Hamilton Star Contributing Writer

The history of Chautauqua County holds many unrevealed obscurities. Such is the case with the hammered dulcimer. Over 160 years ago there was a flourishing industry in the little hamlet of Stedman. In the early 1850’s Dr. Stedman moved from Mayville to that location, which now is known as Stedman Corners and there he built a hotel, a store, and various shops. The corner was popular because the Panama-Erie stage passed through there daily. Soon, a blacksmith shop, a cooper shop, and a shoe shop were prosperous industries. A particularly unusual industry was established by Harrison and Lewis Wade. In a modest factory, the two brothers manufactured a musical instrument known as the dulcimer or the “hammered dulcimer.” The word “dulcimer” refers to a stringed instrument usually in

A forensic weather forecaster, an underwater explorer dubbed the Great Lakes Seaway Trail ‘Jacques Cousteau of shipwrecks,’ an historical archaeologist, coastal recreation specialist, charter captain, and Erie Maritime Museum staff and volunteers are on the power-packed agenda for the Great Lakes Seaway Trail Blue Byway Seminar set for April 13 at the Clarion Conference Center and Marina in Dunkirk. This is the first time the nonprofit Seaway Trail, Inc. has brought its Great Lakes Seaway Trail Underwater Series to the Lake Erie region. Robert ‘Bob’ Hamilton, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service at Buffalo is noted for presenting his research of the meteorological conditions that have impacted historic events, including shipwrecks. He presented his study of the weather influencing the time of the foundering of the 18th century British warship HMS Ontario at the Great Lakes Meteorological Operational Workshop in Chicago in 2012. Underwater explorer and engineer Jim Kennard, dubbed the ‘Jacques Cousteau of the Great Lakes Seaway Trail,’ has been featured in such publications National Geographic and Sea Technology magazines for the 200-plus rare and historic shipwrecks he has discovered in numerous waters in his 40-year diving exploration career.

Chautauqua County Humane Society Pet of the Week

Pets of the Week

This week we are featuring “Cami” and “Brutus.” Cami is a wonderful nine-year-old black kitty with a touch of white. She is the perfect lap cat and if she wants attention, she will follow you around calling to you. If she is on your lap and another kitty comes over, she will push them away so she can have all the attention. She is one of our senior-for-senior kitties and is ready for her own family. Brutus is a two-year-old brindle pit bull. He is a happy-go-lucky boy who loves to cuddle. Play time is always a good time with him. He could use a little bit of training and a whole lot of love. He is ready to fi nd his new best friend. If either of these pets sound like the one for you, please stop by the Strunk Road Adoption Center to meet them. You will be glad you did.

city to Hold 66th annual easter egg Hunt Due to adverse weather conditions, the City of Jamestown’s 66th Annual Easter Egg Hunt will be moved inside the Allen Park Ice Rink on Saturday, March 30. This free event is for children age 12 and under. There is a significant difference in the way the children will be allowed into the hunt. The age groups will remain the same, but only one group will be allowed inside the Ice Rink at a time starting at 10:30 a.m. Once a group has found all the eggs hidden for their hunt, volunteers will hide the eggs for the next group. The first age group allowed in will be children 4 and under, followed by children ages 5 to 8 years, and finally children 9 to 12 years of age. Over 3,000 eggs will be “hidden” in the Hunt area, including two Gold and

these things going on that men never have to worry about - birth control pills, having babies, water retention and hormone imbalance.” Jokingly, he says, “then you’ve got this thing going when you are craving sugar, and you want to kill someone.” “For you younger ladies, I’ve got bad news for you, this is just the beginning, then there is the hysterectomy you’ll get that you probably didn’t need, you’re not metabolizing estrogen as well and it’s going right to belly fat.” Not feeling well, Russo says, women, can fi nd themselves taking antidepressants, sleep aids and thyroid medication, “and on and on and on.” For the first 30 days, he advised the audience to follow certain dietary practices including drinking 20 ounces of water three times a day, and each time drink that amount within 30 minutes (only sip water if it’s needed the rest of the day). Russo also advised that pasta, rice and potatoes, be discontinued just for those first 30 days, because, he said, “they make you retain water.” Consuming below 2,000 milligrams of the sodium (through canned, frozen foods and table salt) is also important, although one needn’t worry about the sodium that naturally occurs in meat, eggs and

other unprocessed foods, he says. Along with taking a Bcomplex supplement, 1,000 mg of vitamin C, 99 mg of potassium, those on his program should also use an additional 50 mg of B6, which Russo says is a natural diuretic. Foods to concentrate on, he says, are chicken, turkey, fish, eggs (with yolks) and fruits and vegetables. “If you have something else (to eat), mix it with one of those foods you should concentrate on; on the seventh day, you can eat whatever you want, though you should still take the supplements recommended and keep the level of addedsodium under 1,000 mg.” Russo also believes that individual women differ from one another in the amount and type of “carbs” they need. He emphasized that the body’s pH levels need to be within a certain range in order for a person to remain healthy and energetic. During his talk, he distributed pH test strips to audience members so they could check the pH levels of their urine at home. “The level shouldn’t be below 6.5,” he said. “In all my years, I have never trained with a guy who said, ‘let’s work on our butts today.’ ” And because women’s fitness

goals are different than a man’s- most are concerned with toning their “butts,” legs, lower abdominals and triceps - he has devised a 20-25 minute workout using such exercises as squats and leg presses. “Women are unique and each women is unique within herself,” says Russo.

Recognizing this, the fitness expert also works with clients individually, counseling and making changes in their program via email and telephone. For more information on Danny Russo’s Women only tour and his “F.E.W.” program, go to www.comingtoseedanny.com.

Letterboxers hide small, weatherproof boxes in publicly-accessible places (like parks) and post clues to finding the box online on one of several websites.” Inside these ‘boxes’ (which are rarely, in fact, boxes but are more often unique bagged creations to ensure waterproofing), there is a logbook, a hand-carved (or store-bought for the less creative) rubber stamp and generally an inkpad. Letterboxers carry their personal logbook with them as they go, and when they find a box they stamp their book with the stamp provided. Likewise, avid Letterboxers carry with them a personal stamp. They, in return, stamp the logbook in the letterbox with their insignia and sign the logbook, leaving behind a unique ‘I Was Here’ token.

Today, there are more than 20,000 letterboxes hidden on the continent. How to get started Letterboxing.org has generously provided a great stepby-step guide to getting started with it. It includes how to create stamps, what you’ll need to letterbox and everything else you might need to know. Chautauqua County’s Own I encourage you to check out the letterbox I was wit-

ness to planting, right here in Chautauqua County. The clue (which is online) is this: Cool Beans (each stamp/ box has a unique name associated with it)

“This letterbox is located outside Ryder’s Cup Coffee Shop at 28 Chautauqua Ave. in Lakewood. Enter the front door, walking straight in past the bookstore. When you’re in the main room facing the counter, look to your right and notice the big window. In my opinion, the best view in the shop! If I’m sitting there, be sure and say hi! While pondering my mornings over a cup of coffee and monitoring the bird feeder and the fat squirrel, my attention often lands on the very large cherry tree across the way. In the crook of the tree (not seen from this angle) would be a great place to stash a lovely prize, I’ve thought!”

The Ryder’s Cup Letterbox in Lakewood, nestled in it’s location. Will this be your first letterbox?

This box, planted by Jeff Mitchener of Jamestown, could be your first letterbox experience. Get started today- you won’t get bored!

Chautauqua County boasts ten letterboxes currently, but that number is sure to grow as more folks get out and start letterboxing!

RELIGION SECTION Keeping the Faith

Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church Fredonia www.fcfredonia.org

Dear Pastor, if the suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus made a way for us to go to heaven, why doesn’t everyone go there when they die? Before I answer I want to share what happened at the tomb of Jesus. We see in Luke 24:1-5, the women, “…came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared. 2) But they found the stone rolled away from the tomb. 3) Then they went in and did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4) And it happened, as they were greatly perplexed about this, that behold, two men stood by them

in shining garments.” We see that the women came to customarily anoint Jesus’ body. But what they saw caused confusion. Why? The answer came from angels who were at the tomb. Luke 24:6, “He is not here, but is risen! Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee, 7) saying, ‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.” 8) And they remembered His words.” It seems that they had forgotten what Jesus taught. But once they remembered, their confusion vanished and was replaced with great joy!

So what was the problem? The women were deep in the natural aspects of mourning. Unfortunately, their faith got distracted. The Bible tells us that a God-kind of faith confidently stands firm on what He said (Hebrews 10:22; 11:1) and trusts that His promises are a sure thing…regardless of what the circumstances look like! If the women had been standing firm and focusing on what Jesus had declared then they wouldn’t have been upset; they’d have known that He had risen! But they were Believers and as soon as they were reminded of His words, their faith was renewed and they

ran to inform the others what had happened. So what do these scriptures tell us? That it’s not believing Jesus existed that pleases God, its believing in His Words and knowing His promises are true. That takes faith. The Bible tells us in Romans 10:9, “…that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” We must believe and say that we believe in order to qualify for salvation and an eternity with Him.

Catholic Corner

Rev. Craig Stratton Permanent Deacon Diocese of Rochester craigstratton@urmc. rochester.edu

Could you be described as a Church “CEO”(as in “Christmas and Easter Only”)? This Sunday I expect that your Parish Church will be packed. Personally I commend you for coming on Easter and Christmas; I can’t think of a finer way to acknowledge our God and Christ on those days. Welcome and thank you! I hope you are blessed in some way by your attendance. Whatever your reason for staying away from worship for a while (and there are many); my idea of Church is a place where you can always go when you are in need and they will always take you in… sort of like “coming home.” Unfortunately, I know there are those who have not felt welcomed or at home. I deeply regret that truth and wish it weren’t so.

Things can change and do change. Don’t give up! Giving up on religion and quitting, is giving up on your self. Your spiritual health and being able to rest assured in your salvation is of far greater importance than any slight or hurt that someone may have inflicted on you in the past. Don’t fall into that trap of quitting; but rather boldly step forward and take charge of your spirituality! Whether you were raised Catholic and have fallen away from the practice of religion; have been attending a different faith but haven’t resolved your yearnings spiritually, or if you basically are un-churched, there are resources available to you. While I pray that God blesses you regardless of where you decide to become faithful, the sources cited here are

Catholic based and are recommended. First visit your local parish; I’m sure you know where it is! Be sure to identify yourself and talk to the pastor, preferably not when he is so busy at the end of Mass. In this geographic area, visit www. buffalodiocese.org for locations of worship sites. Avail yourself of the Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession). If you don’t know how to confess your sins, don’t fear, the Priest will help you. There are many websites which give guidance to those investigating the Catholic faith for the first time or after an absence. Some that I have viewed include www. catholicscomehome.org where a visit to the “Real Stories” section will show how others may

be asking the very same questions as you. Catholic books and DVDs at a vey low cost can be found at www.dynamiccatholic. org to guide you in your journey. I recommend the $2 book titled “Dynamic Catholic” for those who are practicing Catholics but need to be refreshed; to sort of step it up a notch. A compendium of local efforts to evangelize is found at www.evangelizebuffalo.org and addresses the needs of both inactive and practicing Catholics. Whatever you decide, fellow Christian, do go to worship this Easter Sunday. Consider the wonderful gift and sacrifice that Christ made for us; consider it especially today, as we remember his crucifixion. Then pray on what you should do. Remember, it’s your life!

Edgewood Communities to Host Seminar on Communicating With Someone with Dementia Contributed Article Lutheran

Edgewood Communities is inviting the public to join Janell Sluga, Geriatric Care Manager Certified for a free seminar on “How to Communicate with Someone with Dementia”. It will take place on Thursday, April 11 at 6:30 p.m. in Christ Chapel, on the Lutheran Campus, 715 Falconer Street in Jamestown. Reservations are appreciated by calling Patty Eckwahl at 720-9122. “Many of my clients struggle with knowing what to say to their loved ones with dementia and that they don’t understand what the person is trying to com-

municate,” said Ms. Sluga. “They also feel they are on a roller coaster ride of emotions and don’t know what the day will bring. One moment their loved one is alert and happy and other times they seem angry and frustrated.” According to the Alzheimer’s Association, Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias can gradually diminish a person’s ability to communicate. Not only do people with dementia have more difficulty expressing thoughts and emotions, they also have more trouble understanding others. The ability to exchange our ideas, wishes and feelings is a basic need. “Continuing

a positive communication style is so important,” Sluga adds. “Actually, simpler is better. I’ll share some strategies to help caregivers simplify the way they communicate and stress the importance of how we are perceived based on our body language, other nonverbal cues and our tone of voice. It’s natural for a caregiver to feel frustrated at times. These emotions are quickly felt by the person with dementia and it can set the tone for their behavior,” she said. Sluga will also share resources available and there will be time for a Q and A. The Best of Times Seminar Series is sponsored by Edgewood Communities

at Lutheran, the ‘go to resource’ for senior living. More than 500 people have attended the seminars. The goal is to provide information and support to help people plan well so they can age well. Edgewood Communities is located on the Lutheran Campus off Falconer Street in Jamestown. Units include one and two bedroom apartments, duplex homes and the new Smartment® Building. For more information about the seminar or Lutheran Housing, call Ms. Eckwahl or log onto www.lutheranjamestown.org/seniorhousing.

Janell Sluga, Geriatric Care Manager Certified with Senior Life Matters (standing) coaches Sharon Hamilton on ways to communicate and maintain her close relationship with her mother, a resident of Hultquist Place Assisted Living Program. Ms. Sluga will be offering a free seminar on how to communicate with a person with dementia on Thursday, April 11 at 6:30 p.m. in Christ’s Chapel on the Lutheran Campus.

top 6 after-prom party ideas

Contributed Article About.com

You spent hours getting ready, you dined, you danced… so now what? These after prom party ideas will keep your enter-

tained hours after prom night ends. 1. Bowling You haven’t really gone bowling until you have bowled it up dressed in your prom night finery. Grab your group and head

to your local bowling alley. Trade your heels or patent oxfords for retro bowling shoes. Replace your corsage with a bowling ball. Armed with a few cameras for capturing the evening, bowl the night away! _ 2. Pizza Parlor The perfect way to let your hair down after a nerve-racking prom day is to grab a few slices at the local pizza joint. Rent out a banquet room, invite all of your friends, and kick back with a few pizzas and soda pitchers. 3. Coffee Shop Mellow out at your favorite coffee shop with your pals – espresso can work wonders on a frazzled mind! For best results, go directly from prom, still dressed to the nines. The coffee clientele will be completely entertained, and you might even get a few coffees on the house. 4. Game Night Head to a friends house

for a late night spent playing board games. Stock up on all of your favorites – Scene It!, Cranium, and Catch Phrase are particularly fun with a big group of friends. Reward winners with fun prom-themed gifts like princess tiaras (for boys and girls!), disposable cameras, and kiddie rhinestone jewelry. 5. Evening Breakfast After a night of dancing, everyone seems to be exhausted, yet ravenous. Persuade your parents to host a laidback after-prom breakfast. Have a relaxed menu of breakfast casseroles, cinnamon rolls, coffee cakes, and fruit. Have a pitcher of juice and a carafe of coffee and voila - breakfast before bedtime! 6. Roller Skating Do you still have loads of energy? Relocate the prom party to the local roller skating rink. A costume change isn’t necessary – roller skating is much more fun when dressed festively! Grab your date’s hand and have one last slow dance of the night… on skates!

artist talks about inspiration for photography

sWan’s JenniFer scHLicK says nearsigHtedness aLLoWs ricH detaiL in pHotos

By Michael Dean Star Contributing Writer

Three years ago artist Debra Eck learned of the event Support Women Artists Now (SWAN) and suggested it to a handful of artists at Infinity Visual and Performing Arts in Jamestown. Initially holding an art market under SWAN, organizers sought to make the event bigger.

What happened next exceeded everyone’s expectations. SWAN is an international holiday celebrating women’s creativity, is sponsored by the worldwide community of WomenArts. The organization consists of a community of artists and allies that works for empowerment, opportunity, and visibility for women artists. They believe in the power of women artists to create, connect, and change the world. The Art Council of Chautauqua County turned an old warehouse into a legitimate and elegant art gallery, which would later become the 3rd on 3rd Gallery in Jamestown. Eck saw the potential that this

Your Retirement Is Deﬁnitely Worth Planning For You’ve heard it said before: Timing is everything. Especially when it comes to starting your Social Security benefits. More than 90% of working Americans are counting on Social Security to replace part of their current incomes when they retire, but the truth is the majority of those already drawing benefits receive permanently reduced amounts due to ill-informed timing decisions. In fact, many Americans fail to take into account the true impact of factors such as age, job status, taxes and marital status when deciding when to start receiving benefits. And that can prove to be a costly mistake. Don’t make the same mistakes other retirees make. It could mean leaving money on the table at atime when you’ll need it most. That’s why it’s important to develop a strategy to maximize your household Social Security benefits and enhance your overall retirement income plan. After all, a little planning now can go a long way – and in this case, we’re talking a lifetime.

Whether it’s modifications to your home, in-home services, respite care, or residential care, this assessment will help you with making the important decisions that accompany your role as a caretaker.

munity and members of a special advisory committee. Their work is part of a detailed process that is governed and guided by the New York State Education Department’s Office of Pre-kindergarten through 12 Education’s Office of Educational Management Services. Their conclusions determined that sufficient cost savings can be achieved and that educational programming can be improved if the merger process can gain approval from voters. Taxpayers are welcome to attend the April 11 meeting, where topics such as future use of school buildings and programs if the merger were to occur are likely to be discussed.

While some district officials and community members are being cautious on what they say publicly about the proposed merger, retired Fredonia Central School Superintendent Rocco R. Doino is among the former educators who believes the merger makes sense fiscally, stating in the past he has “long been a proponent of school district reorganization when a proper fit seems apparent.” To see the Western New York Educational Service Council’s fi nal report on the consolidation study, visit either www.broctoncsd.org or www.wacs.wnyric. org

Lost places, continued from pg. 1 Silas Mason. A particularly aggressive salesman, Charles C. Cowells, sometimes took cattle as payment and then sold them in Chicago for cash. Another successful dulcimer factory - perhaps a competitor - opened in 1856 in Sherman on East Main Street by Henry Ransom. His two sons, Martin and Monroe, were both expert players. They demonstrated and sold the instruments in the South until the opening of the Civil War in 1861 when they were forced out by the Confederacy. Ransom moved his factory to Newport, Kentucky several years later. An article in Great Lakes Craft magazine said that the hammered dulcimers from Western New York “carry distinctive characteristics of individual makers. Some have simple butt corner joints, only nailed together. Others have intricate dove-tailed corners and are

finished with decorative veneers in birds’ eye maple and mahogany.” Dennis Dorogi of Brocton is a hammered dulcimer craftsman. “Over the years I’ve made thousands of them,” he said inside his well-fitted, tool adorned wood shop. A walnut framed, spruce topped, cedar trimmed dulcimer rested on his workbench while he spoke. “I just picked it up when I was young and then began making them.” His craftsmanship has traveled through the world. “I guess all over the globe,” he said when asked where his dulcimers have gone. Commonly, a hammered dulcimer is about 3 feet long, 15 inches wide, and about 4 inches deep. The steel strings are attached and then tightened to screw posts. Diagonal metal braces it from either side, much like the pin block of a piano. The hammer handle could

who played the hammered dulcimer. Ford immediately became a supporter of Martian and encouraged his performances. Martin died in 1938 before recording devices were common. Martin’s grandsons, Phil and Sterl Van Arsdale, of the Frewsburg area, also learned to play and eventually began to build hammered dulcimers. Subsequently, the Van Arsdale family of Chautauqua County became recognized among dulcimer players countrywide, with Paul Van Arsdale becoming a celebrated dulcimer performer, playing alongside famed musicians such as John McCutcheon of Appalachian fame. Paul appeared at the 1977 Smithsonian Festival of American Folklife and at many other nationally acclaimed dulcimer events. The Van Arsdale family

continues to hold reunions where many family members perform. Dennis Dorogi attended the 2012 summer reunion. He was delighted to be a guest. “In my eyes it was an historic event to see and hear the instruments,” he said of his attendance at the reunion. Sally Patterson, Curator at the Yorker Museum in Sherman, says that beginning Memorial Day Weekend, the doors will be open and “the dulcimers of Sherman will be on display in the schoolhouse.” Then, asked if the doors could be opened now to see, she said, “well, as soon as the snow goes away, maybe we’ll be able to push them open.” Peter Hamilton is a freelance writer from Sherman.

Obviously the show was a big deal with Barbara Jean and Tiger Maple String Band, so expanding it will be phenomenal.” Infinity Visual and Performing Arts, Inc. is a multifaceted, innovative music and arts education program located in Jamestown, NY. The Infinity concept was developed as

Genesee Valley in 1804. One day while her family was working in the fields and she in the cabin, she looked up from her work and saw an Indian standing in the doorway. Not knowing what to do, she went inside and got some hammers—ones that played the dulcimer. She played for the Indian. He was pleased. After a few moments the Indian left, no issues. A few weeks later the Indian returned accompanied by several others. They pointed at Elizabeth’s dulcimer. She played again, entertaining them. According to an excerpt from a book by Paul Gifford, inarguably the foremost authority on the hammered dulcimer, he accounts that Henry Ford, the automobile industrialist, was disappointed with the musical vogue of his days, jazz, and he yearned for a more traditional sound. Ford’s agents discovered Jessie R. Martin

be whalebone, but dulcimer players prefer a more limber handle. Players employs both hands, much like a xylophone player. This distinguishes it from the fretted, plucked, or “mountain dulcimer”, of the zither tradition, which is sometimes called a dulcimore, and is traditionally associated with the Appalachian states. The hammered dulcimer dates back to 15th century England. Early American Colonialists preferred the hammer dulcimer and it was the first choice of settlers for its simple, portable use, less complex and weighty than a piano. The dulcimer, along with the fiddle, supplied most of the country dance music of the times. The McClurg Museum in Westfield has several displayed examples. The Yorker Museum in Sherman has a dulcimer from the Ransom Factory. There is an anecdotal story of Elizabeth Garbutt from

an opportunity for aspiring young musicians to develop and enhance their creative talents and performance skills under the supervision and guidance of local, professional musicians and educators. Trinity Guitars owner Jim Holler says that the musicians have embraced the new show and its intent. “The purpose of this is twofold: to give independent artists a vehicle for their work, and to benefit the community.” he said, “The overwhelming popularity of the program by both the public and the performers

ning and preserving at 1:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. and county 4-H participants will provide live animal demonstrations. While there will be a host of family-friendly activities, the event is especially relevant to those seeking the health benefits of locally grown food. “More and more people are concerned about where their food comes from,” says Barie. “They want to know it is coming from a safe environment, grown properly and that it’s healthy for their children.

This is an opportunity to talk one-on-one with the person out in the field growing that produce that they buy.” She notes that purchase of locally grown food is also better for the environment, saving in fuel costs and fuel emissions. “Plus you get to eat produce picked that very same day.” While the event is free, Barie asks the public to bring non-perishable food items that day. Ed Shults Auto Group will be displaying four of its GMC pick-ups,

one of which will be inside the Suites, with the goal to fill it with food items. “So we are asking everyone to look in their cupboards and bring something,” which Barie says will then be donated to local food banks and shelters throughout the county. There will also be a free gift basket given away to one lucky attendee, filled with donations from each vendor. Chautauqua Suites is located at 215 West Lake Road in Mayville.

Black and Golden opportunity exPeCTATiONS HiGH FOr THe LADY HOrNeTS iN 2013 By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

Two years ago, the Forestville High School softball team, led by head coach Brianne Hazelton and a roster full of underclassmen, shocked everyone by capturing a Section 6 title. Last year, the Lady Hornets dominated the regular season en route to a division title and then once again steamrolled their way to a Sectional crown. Unfortunately for the Forestville faithful, both seasons ended with a loss in the Far West Regionals. This year, however, the Hornets Nest is buzzing with excitement as Forestville boasts a roster full of senior leadership, a superstar pitcher and talent up and down the lineup. Needless to say, Hazelton was all smiles when she talked about the upcoming season. “We kind of already talked about the season in those first couple of practices,” she said. “My senior girls already made it clear to everyone that they were going to take it one game at a time. They all agree that they feel the pressure already, but they promised me that they’ll take it one game at a time and whatever happens, happens.” If anything momentous is going to happen with the Lady Hornets in 2013, it will surely come because of the right arm of Ryanne Dugan — a New York State Second Team All Star last year.

strikeouts is almost a given before teams even take the field. Some innings she could take the mound with no defense behind her and it wouldn’t make a difference. It’s no accident however, as there isn’t a softball player in Chautauqua County who puts in more work than Dugan. “All of her teammates know how much she puts in,” Hazelton commented on Dugan. “They appreciate that and respect that. They appreciate the opinions that she gives. The other day we sat down and talked about what hitters should expect and why pitchers throw different pitchers. They look up to her.”

For years now, Hazelton has called the pitches from the dugout for Dugan and senior catcher Cherish Pope, but she admits that they have earned the opportunity to do it themselves. “I was thinking about that the other day,” Hazelton stated. “I was going to talk to (Dugan) and see what she thought. She’s been working with Cherish for so long. I was going to ask them and see if they want to try (calling the game) and see how it goes. I’m open to letting them call their own game out here.” While some coaches would be satisfied with back-to-back trips to the Far West Regionals,

Hazelton is looking to improve after losing to Section 5’s Batavia Notre Dame in both 2011 and 2012. “I felt like one of our weaknesses was hitting,” she admitted. “I wanted to work really hard in the gym here on our hitting. We’ve been working to improve our mechanics and our power. It’s important that we improve. Hopefully it will work.” In fairness to the Forestville lineup, it’s as deep as any in the area. In countless games last season the Lady Hornets’ top hitter was No. 7, 8 or 9 in the batting order. coNtINuED oN pG 2

Blue Devils complete Bills Meet, Dine With QB prospect Geno Smith Southern california Sweep, Improve to 6-0

By John Wawrow AP Sports Writer

The Buffalo Bills' offseason search for a quarterback led them to West Virginia on Friday, where they conducted a private workout involving Geno Smith. A person familiar with what happened told The Associated Press that Smith's workout took place on campus in the morning. The person added the former Mountaineer had dinner the previous night with general manager Buddy Nix, assistant GM Doug Whaley, coach Doug Marrone and offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the Bills would not reveal any details except to announce the workout had been scheduled. Smith is regarded as one of the top quarterback prospects available in the NFL draft next month. The Bills open the draft with the eighth pick, and Nix has already expressed an interest in selecting a quarterback, though he won't be pinned down to what round. Buffalo's need at quarterback grew larger last week after the team released returning starter Ryan Fitzpatrick, who has since signed with the Tennessee Titans. That leaves Tarvaris Jackson as the only experienced quarterback currently on the Bills roster.

TIME

Last season, Smith threw for 4,205 yards and led the nation with 42 touchdown passes. This is the second time in a little over a week that Bills officials have watched Smith work out. Several team officials attended West Virginia's pro day on March 14. Smith also participated in the NFL combine at Indianapolis last month. Marrone is already very familiar with Smith. Hired by the Bills in January after four seasons at Syracuse, Marrone went 3-0 against Smith and the Mountaineers. That included a 38-14 win in the Pinstripe Bowl in December. Smith struggled on a snowy day, going 16 for 26 for 197 yards and two touchdowns, but also gave up two safeties.

It’s named ‘March Madness’ for good reason. The NCAA basketball tournament can leave even a casual sports totally incapacitated on their couch for an entire weekend, remote in hand and empty pizza boxes strewn about the room. Of course, they’ll be brackets as well. Just like fantasy football is the great protection for the National Football League — seriously, I think the league is making up rules TRYING to alienate fans — men’s college basketball will forever be relevant because of the almighty bracket. Just like fantasy football, the bracketology might be even more popular than the sport itself. Die-hard fans break down statistics and game tape. Others will pick based solely on ‘expert’ advice. Then you’ll get a little old lady who ‘just likes the sound of Wichita State.’ There are a hundred million wrong ways to fi ll out a bracket and only one right way, yet we just keep on trying. In the office you probably hear people bragging about picking the 10-seed upset or see other ripping up their brackets after they had No. 2 Georgetown making it to the Final Four. Even the President of the United States gets in on the action. President Obama, like me, has the Indiana Hoosiers winning the whole thing. Seven of Obama’s Elite Eight picks are still alive, with only Wisconsin falling by the wayside. He’s actually in the 75th percentile on ESPN’s Tournament Challenge. (Not to brag Mr. President, but I’m in the 81st percentile). The bottom line is that the tournament is just fun. You don’t even have to watch any of the games. Simply fi lling out a bracket and checking the next day to see how your teams did can be exhilarating. Of course, the reason behind the whole bracket phenomenon is basketball — and there have been some fantastic games and upsets in the first two rounds of action. Florida Gulf Coast University recently became the first No. 15 seed to reach the Sweet 16. It knocked off powerhouse Georgetown in the first round and then shocked the world again by easily handling No. 7 San Diego State.

Ironmen Earn A Big Two Points With Win Over Michigan Submitted Article Jamestown Ironmen

The Jamestown Ironmen bounced back from Friday’s loss with a convincing, 6-2 victory over the Michigan Warriors in North American Hockey League action on Saturday at the Jamestown Savings Bank Arena. Jamestown (36-18-4) jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first period and never looked back in this one. Ryan Doucet started off the scoring with an unassisted goal only 1:17 into the game. Ross Pavek and Tyler Dunagan each followed up with power play goals later in the first. Assists came from Aaron Scheppelman, Huba Sekesi, Dylan Zink and Evan Ritt.

“We got back to Ironmen hockey; simple, work hard hockey, and it paid off” said Ironmen head coach Dan Daikawa. Ritt added a goal of his own in the second off of assists from Doucet and Luc Gerdes, and the Ironmen headed into the third period with a 4-0 lead. Michigan (19-30-9) stole two quick goals in the first half of the third, but Jamestown answered with two more of their own. Victor Johansson and Sekesi both

netted scores with assists from Matt Lanzillotti, Pavek, Daniel Ceasarz and Nathan Ropelewski to round out the scoring. Joey Ballmer made 31 saves in goal for the home team in route to his eighth win on the season while Jamestown outshot the opposition, 42-33. “We responded well after a tough night on Friday,” said Ironmen head coach Dan Daikawa. “We got back to Ironmen hockey; simple, work hard hockey, and it paid off.” The Ironmen earned two points with the victory and the Kalamazoo Jr. K-Wings lost on Saturday. This leaves Jamestown with a three point lead over Kalamazoo for second place in the North Division. Along with a second place finish, comes a first round bye in the play-

offs and home ice advantage. The win came on the heels of a 2-1 loss to the Warriors on Friday night at the Jamestown Savings Bank Arena. The Warriors bus broke down on their way to Jamestown, delaying the start of the game by about an hour. Michigan didn’t show up to JSBA until just about a half hour before the puck dropped, yet it was the Ironmen who looked sluggish once the game got underway. Michigan, currently in last place in the North Division, mounted a 2-0 lead throughout the first two periods where they seemed to outwork the Ironmen. Jamestown didn’t get on the board until only 1:08 remained in the game, when the home team pulled the goaltender and Dylan Zink scored off of a Joe Mottiqua assist to Michigan’s lead down to one.

But it was too little, too late for the Ironmen as they ran out of time. Jamestown outshot the Warriors, 26-21 while Joey Ballmer made 19 saves in goal for the Ironmen during the loss. “With the whole travel situation, Michigan had nothing to lose and they played like it,” said Ironmen head coach Dan Daikawa. “If we would have played the whole game how we played the last 10 minutes, we probably would have won, but we can’t wait that long to start playing the way we should. We shouldn’t have let that one slip away.” The Ironmen still sit in second place in the NAHL North Division with a one point lead on the Kalamazoo Jr. K-Wings , who were idle Friday night. The team that finishes the regular season in that number two spot in the North will receive a first round bye in the playoffs. Jamestown will look to bounce back with a victory as they battle with Michigan again today at 5pm. The Ironmen are hosting a pet supply drive to benefit the Chautauqua County Humane Society. Give your donations to the front desk on your way into the game for $2 off admission. Only two games remain on Jamestown’s regular season schedule as the Ironmen will host the Johnstown Tomahawks this Friday at 7 p.m. and Saturday at 5 p.m.

The big hit always came from someone different and everyone was capable. “I felt confident in the whole lineup if we needed a hit,” Hazelton added. “We didn’t have that one All Star in terms of hitting.

Stamkos Leads Lightning past Sabres, 2-1 Contributed Article Associated Press

The Tampa Bay Lightning were rewarded for their hard work. Steven Stamkos and Martin St. Louis each had a goal and an assist and the Lightning defeated the Buffalo Sabres 2-1 on Tuesday. With new head coach Jon Cooper watching from an executive suite, the Lightning put together one of their most complete defensive efforts this season. ''We did a great job of building off of last game,'' Stamkos said. ''We didn't get the result we wanted in Winnipeg, but we played a solid game. Today we started from the get-go and we finished with solid game.'' Cooper is set to coach his first game on Friday against the New Jersey Devils. Buffalo, which came into the game riding a threegame winning streak, was held to just 14 shots. ''There wasn't a lot of urgency in anything tonight,'' Buffalo

coach Ron Rolston said. ''(We'll) just get ready for the next game. We got to win the next one.'' Stamkos scored his leagueleading 23rd goal of the season off a deflection past Ryan Miller at 16:01 of the first period. St. Louis extended the lead to 2-0 at 8:15 of the second period with a power-play goal off a sharp pass from Teddy Purcell.

''We wanted the puck today,'' Stamkos said. ''We made plays and it showed out there.'' The Lightning ended a three-game losing streak while Buffalo failed to make up ground in the race for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. The Sabres trail the eighth-place New York Rangers by five points. Jordan Leopold scored for Buffalo at 16:52 of the

third period. ''We weren't prepared enough, but the bottom line is we're in a race right now and we desperately needed those points,'' Leopold said. ''We were on a roll there, too. You look at it, three games without a loss. We get something rolling there and go out and have that.'' Ryan Miller had 21 saves for the Sabres. ''No one's going to help us,'' Miller added. ''We've got to get two points every night, and (the) first two periods didn't speak to what we've been trying to do lately.'' Notes: Lightning general manager Steve Yzerman released a statement on the death of former assistant coach Wayne Fleming: ''It is with a heavy heart that we acknowledge the passing of Wayne Fleming. Wayne was an extremely important part of the Lightning family on and off the ice during his time here. The thoughts and prayers of the entire Lightning organization go out to Wayne's wife, Carolyn, and the entire Fleming family.'' ... Purcell extended his point streak to four games.

much the fact that Jarome worked with us to enable this to come about.'' In 1,219 career regularseason games in 16 seasons, all with Calgary, he has 525 goals and 570 assists. He has 28 goals and 21 assists in 54 career playoff games and has played for Canada in three Olympics. Iginla assisted on Crosby's gold-medal winning goal for Team Canada in the 2010 Vancouver Games. The Penguins have won 13 straight heading into Thursday night's game against Winnipeg and have done much of it without Malkin, who remains sidelined with an upper body injury. Pittsburgh also placed defenseman Kris Letang on injured reserve on Wednesday with a lower body injury and No. 1 goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury is being evaluated after getting run over in a 1-0 victory against Montreal on Tuesday. None of the injuries appears to be serious and if Pittsburgh can stay healthy over the season's fi nal six weeks, they will be the prohibitive favorite to make it out of the Eastern Conference and vie for the franchise's fourth Stanley Cup. The bold move to land Iginla only raises the stakes. ''The team on paper doesn't mean too much,'' Shero said. ''We have to do it on the ice.'' There are no such hopes this year anyway - for the Flames, who hope forwards Agostino and Hanowski can one day be part of a new foundation to build around. The 20-year-old Agostino was selected by Pittsburgh in the fifth round of the 2010 draft. The junior leads the Bulldogs in scoring with 15 goals and 22 assists in 33 games this season. Yale will face Minnesota on Friday night in the first round of the NCAA tournament. The 22-year-old Hanowski, a third-round pick in 2009, recently fi nished his senior season at St. Cloud State, where he was the team captain. He had 16 goals and 13 assists in 34 games this season.

These rankings are the opinions of a panel of two. Don’t agree with our rankings? Send us your thoughts at stefan.gestwicki@star-mediagroup.com. 1) Pittsburgh Penguins 26-8-0 They win games as calmly as Todd O’Conner has heart attacks. Both have a baker’s dozen. 2) Chicago Blackhawks 25-4-3 With the streak long over, Hawks have looked incredibly human over a five-game stretch. 3) Anaheim Ducks 22-6-4 Don’t read too much into three-game skid. Ducks still lead Pacific by ten full points. 4) Boston Bruins 21-7-3 Just give up: The Bruins have allowed a league-best 19 goals in the third period. 5) Minnesota Wild 19-10-2 Niklas Backstrom had a fantastic week going 3-0-0 with a 1.00 goals against average. 6) Vancouver Canucks 18-9-6 Five straight wins, but hardly dominating as each was only a one-goal win. 7) Montreal Canadiens 20-7-5 A twogame skid allowed Boston to take over the Northeast. Habs still sitting pretty in East. 8) Ottawa Senators 18-9-6 Very quietly only three points behind both Boston and Montreal for the division lead. 9) Winnipeg Jets 18-14-2 Just score first: The Jets have a perfect 1.000 win percentage when netting the first goal. 10) Detroit Red Wings 17-11-5 It would surprise exactly no one if Detroit climbed into the four-seed in the West. 11) Los Angeles Kings 18-12-2 The defending champs have fallen into sixth in the West. Time to buckle down. 12) Toronto Maple Leafs 18-12-4 The Leafs have quietly earned points in six straight games (3-0-3) since loss to Pittsburgh. 13) New Jersey Devils 15-11-7 Looks like these guys have finally woken up, earning five of a possible six points last week. 14) New York Rangers 16-13-3 Coach John Tortorella earned his 400th career win with Tuesday’s big victory over Philly. 15) San Jose Sharks 14-11-6 Sharks only earned three points on a five-game road trip (1-3-1) but still 8th in West. 16) New York Islanders 15-15-3 Bronx battle: Islanders duking it out with Rangers for 8th seed in the East. 17) St. Louis Blues 17-13-2 These guys have been as high as sixth and as low as 18th in these rankings; lost two straight. 18) Nashville Predators 14-13-6 Of course the Preds would follow up a four-game losing streak by winning three in a row. 19) Dallas Stars 15-14-3 Word has it that Dallas is hammering out a multi-year extention for forward Jaromir Jagr. 20) Washington Capitals 15-17-1 They go as he goes: Ovechkin tallied five goals and eights points in four games. 21) Carolina Hurricanes 15-14-2 Alexander Semin (30 points in 31 games) just got a rich new five-year deal amidst skid. 22) Columbus Blue Jackets 13-13-7 CBJ might be getting tired as they’ve played a league-high 13 overtime games already. 23) Edmonton Oilers 12-13-7 40-year old Nikolai Khabibulain stopped 43 shots in Tuesday’s shutout of St. Louis. 24) Buffalo Sabres 13-16-4 They laid an absolute egg in Tampa to stop a pretty nice three-game winning streak. 25) Tampa Bay Lightning 14-18-1 Martin St. Louis, 37, is playing better than ever with 42 points in 33 games. 26) Philadelphia Flyers 13-17-2 Only three teams in the NHL are worse than the Flyers during 5-on-5 play. 27) Phoenix Coyotes 13-15-4 Slow starters: No team has fewer than Phoenix’s 18 first-period goals this season. 28) Calgary Flames 12-15-4 Can someone please explain why Miikka Kiprusoff actually WANTS to stay here? 29) Colorado Avalanche 11-16-4 Two wins in 15 road games is a big reason why Colorado will miss the playoffs again. 30) Florida Panthers 9-19-6 The Panthers have allowed nearly twice as many goals as the Boston Bruins this season.

rotation is led by Johan Santana, who when healthy is totally dominating. His no-hitter last year was a highlight in an otherwise relatively mundane season. The signing of Shaun Marcum could be a nice bargain. Marcum had a few very productive years in Milwaukee. Matt Harvey, Jon Neise and Dillon Gee will presumably round out the rotation. That’s not a trio that has ‘playoffs’ written all over it. The lineup has questions. The rotation has question. The bullpen has questions. At least New York fans will have the Jets to cheer for. Oh wait, how about the Islanders? Rangers? Yankees? Oh dear.

Philadelphia Phillies (3rd) — With last season’s struggles, it’s easy to forget that this Phillies team had won five consecutive National League East titles before Washington took the crown in 2012. Chase Utley and Ryan Howard both missed significant time with injuries as did staff ace Roy Halladay. The lineup isn’t chocked full of spring chickens, but if healthy, it should be able to put up some runs. Jimmy Rollins played very well in the World Baseball Classic, Howard has hit some mammoth Spring Training home runs and there are some people predicting Domonic Brown to finally break out this year with a full slate of at-bats. Michael Young and Ben Revere were brought in during the offseason and should provide a spark. The rotation is top heavy. Cole Hamels and Cliff Lee are fantastic. Halladay has seen his velocity drop significantly and has struggled mightily this Spring. Kyle Kendrick and John Lannan will probably be the Nos. 4 & 5 starters, but are nothing special. Look for Philadelphia to make a move for another starting pitcher before the July 31 trade deadline — maybe even New York’s Johan Santana. The Phillies should be in the running for a playoff spot if all goes right this year. We could see both wild cards come out of the East.

Washington Nationals (2nd) — It seems almost sacreligious to predict Washington anything but World Series champions after all the love they’ve gotten during the offseason, but it’s not like this team doesn’t have its flaws. Even the rotation, which many consider the best in the Big Leagues, isn’t without issue. Stephen Strasburg had his innings limit lifted and should be poised for a huge season, but Gio Gonzalez is facing a possible PED suspension and Dan Haren had serious back and hip issues that led to a terrile 2012

campaign. Jordan Zimmerman posted a sub-3.00 ERA last season but will be hard-pressed to duplicate that success. Ross Detwiler is solid, but unspectacular. If anything should happen to Strasburg, this rotation will suddenly look incredibly human. The offense will certainly benefit from a healthy Ryan Zimmerman and Jayson Werth. Both missed time in 2012, but should be major players for the Nats. The addition of Denard Span from Minnesota gives Washington a legitimate leadoff hitter and Bryce Harper should take another step to stardom. Adam LaRoche will never match his career year from a season ago and Ian Desmond and Danny Espinosa are probably nothing more than an average middle infield. Kurt Suzuki will catch until Wilson Ramos comes back from injury. The loss of Michael Morse’s power will certainly impact the lineup. In a brutally tough division, the Nationals will have to deal with expectations for the first time ever.

NATIONAL LEAGUE CENTRAL

Chicago Cubs (5th) — The Cubs apparently felt the best way to build a team was to compile as many other teams’ castoffs as possible. They gave Edwin Jackson a monster four-year contract, signed Scott Baker, Scott Hairston, Nate Schierholtz, and Scott Feldman. Jackson has shown promise amidst a sea of inconsistency, but the others...well they leave something to be desired. With the Houston Astros now residing in the American League, the Cubs are in prime position to finish last in the division for the first time since 2006. That said, Starlin Castro is one of the league’s very few legitimate stars on shortstop. His defense has improved since his rookie year and the power is coming as well. Alfonso Soriano put together a nice bounce-back campaign in 2012, but is still easily the most overpaid player in baseball. He would have been traded long ago if his contract was anything but outrageous. Anthony Rizzo has a promising future at first base and might be the player the Cubs build their future around. The rotation is a mess. Jeff Samardzija put together a solid season last year but is in the middle of a contract dispute. Matt Garza is coming off a season-ending injury. Jackson is Jackson. Some combination of Baker, Feldman, Travis Wood and Carlos Villanueva will round out the starting five. Carlos Marmol lost his closer duties last year, but has been dymanic in the past and Chicago can only pray that he regains the form that made him so feared in 2011. He’ll never get there until he figures out his walk woes. The bottom line for the Cubs is that they won’t score enough runs or prevent enough runs to win many ballgames.

Cincinnati Reds (1st) — The Reds made just one big offseason move, but it filled a major hole in the lineup. The trade for Shin-Soo Choo from Cleveland gives Cincinnati a legitimate leadoff threat for the first time in a long time. Followed by Brandon Phillips and perennial MVP-candidate Joey Votto, expect Choo to score an awful lot of runs. Ryan Ludwick revived his career in Great American Ballpark last year, but Jay Bruce will be counted on for a bounce-back campaign in 2013. There are certainly worse bottom of lineups than Todd Frazier, Zack Cozart and Ryan Hanigan. But despite the impressive offense and the hitter’s park they play in, the Reds’ real strength comes from the pitching rotation. Johnny Cueto broke out in a big way last year and Mat Latos gives Dusty Baker a solid 1-2 punch. Bronson Arroyo and Homer Bailey are solid, if unspectacular (though Bailey did toss a no-hitter last year). Aroldis Chapman is apparently still going to start despite the recent news that he’d prefer to close. Jonathan Broxton was brought in to take over the closer’s duties, but for how long is anyone’s guess. The Reds have a lot going for them on paper, and if they can stay healthy and consistent, there’s reason to believe that postseason baseball will return to Cincinnati in 2013.

Ronny Cedeno is a poor excuse for a Furcal replacement, but it wouldn’t surprise anyone if the Cardinals plugged in someone from their deep farm system and made it to

Milwaukee Brewers (4th) — Quick, which team led the National League in runs scored last year? No it wasn’t the Reds, Giants, Nationals, Dodgers or Braves. It was the Brewers, who survived a dreadful season by Rickie Weeks and an injury to catcher Jonathan Lucroy. Unfortunately for the Brewers, this is not 2012 anymore. Ryan Braun once again faces PED allegations and will officially never escape the black cloud of suspicion over his head. Corey Hart will begin the season on the DL. Aramis Ramirez can’t do it all himself. It’s not terribly likely that Alex Gonzalez or Jean Segura will suddenly become offensive dynamos. The rotation will once again be led by Yovani Gollardo, who has been one of the most consistently good pitchers over the past five seasons. Wily Peralta and Tyler Thornburg are the organization’s top two pitching prospects and it seems likely one or both will open the season the rotation. Chris Narveson missed most of 2012 with shoulder problems and Marco Estrada has made just 32 career starts. Mike Fiers made 22 starts in 2012 and figures to play a role in the rotation either to open the season or when someone else struggles with injury or ineffectiveness.

Colorado Rockies (3rd) — There’s one key to the Rockies’ 2013 hopes: Shortstop Troy Tulowitzki. When healthy —which he wasn’t last year — Tulo is one of the greatest players in the game. He tears the cover off the ball while playing one of the most demanding positions on the field. If, and only if Tulowitzki’s healthy will the Rockies even think about contending.

Clayton Kershaw in no longer one of the best young pitchers in the game — he’s THE best pitcher in baseball. Having Chad Billingsley penciled in as your No. 5 starter is a nice place to be. Josh Beckett could and should rebound from his woes in Boston and Chris Capuano was solid as can be in 2012. Kenley Jansen will again close games and could easily lead the National League in saves. It’s easy to forget that Matt Kemp was the best player in Major League Baseball for the first two months of 2012. He was hitting home runs at a near-record pace and his batting average was over .400. An injury derailed his MVP-caliber season and opened the door for the Giants, who fully took advantage on their way to winning the World Series. Kemp and fellow outfield Andre Either have some help now. Carl Crawford finally looks ready to play after Tommy John surgery. Adrian Gonzalez returns to the National League West, where he spent the majority of his career tormenting pitchers.

Clayton Richard is probably the No. 2 starter and went 14-14 with a 3.99 ERA last year. If he continues to improve, he could be an All Star in the future.

Matt Cain, Madiing that major upset, the son Bumgarner and Ryan Shockers laid a 73-55 beatVogelsong have been down on No. 8 Pittsburgh. among the best trio for the Either Lasalle or Wichita last few years. Barry Zito State will defi nitely be in has shown signs of life the Elite 8, something I’d lately and Tim Lincecum… wager very few brackets well…he once won two Cy had happening. Young awards. His fall The state of Michigan is from dominance has been abuzz with both Michigan astounding. He came into and Michigan State punchSpring Training claiming ing their tickets to the to be healthier, stronger Sweet 16. Unbelievably, it’s and more willing to listen the first time in the 75-year to his pitching coaches, but history of the tournament so far the results have been that both teams have been anything but encouraging in the Sweet 16 in the same for the Giants. He’s getting year. Also hard to believe is paid like an ace and the the fact that the University Giants need Lincecum to of Michigan is there for the be an ace. The offense is first time since 1994. always a great mystery. There was no way San Francisco was supposed to win the World Series last year, right? They just didn’t San Diego Padres (5th) — have enough offense. Well The Padres owned one of postseason heroics from baseball’s most coveted Pablo Sandoval, Buster trade assets last year in Posey, Marco Scutaro and third baseman Chase Hunter Pence proved that Headley. The switch-hitter indeed anything can was doing it all — hitting happen in the playoffs. for power, hitting for Posey enjoyed an MVP average and playing a season just one year fantastic third base. They removed from a gruesome chose to hang onto him and leg injury. He should be Carlos Quentin despite even stronger and better in having zero chance of 2013 — a scary thought for competing in the near opposing pitchers. The future. It’s not that the lineup just doesn’t look that roster is that bad, it’s just appealing on paper with that the Dodgers and Angel Pagan, Brandon Giants are much, much Belt, Gregor Blanco and better.

But bine with Headley and Bruce Bochey has proven Quentin to provide an to be the best manager in adequate offense, even the Major Leagues and though the Padres play their only a fool would count out home games in the cavern- the San Francisco Giants.

Get Back to

Playtime

No. 3 Michigan State earned a date with a powerful No. 2 Duke squad. But after pummeling No. 6 Memphis to the tune of 70-48, don’t expect anything for a great effort from the Spartans. No. 4 Michigan, meanwhile, will have to topple No. 1 Kansas to reach the Elite 8. But again, the Wolverines are flying high after dismantling No. 5 VCU, 78-53, in the second round. Personally, I have both Michigan State and Michigan reaching the Final Four along with Indiana and Ohio State, so I’ll be rooting for the Big Ten all the way. Every year there are upsets. Every year there are Cinderella stories. Every year there are buzzer beaters. Most importantly, every year it’s fun. So whether you enjoy the friendly competition or the sheer randomness that is fi lling out brackets — or maybe you actually enjoy **gasp** basketball — the tournament is still going until the finals on April 8. Until then, best of luck hiding your brackets when your boss walks by. Stefan Gestwicki is the sports editor at the Chautauqua Star.
