He also lettered four years at Allegany College as an offensive guard and center, was selected as a co-captain in his senior year and was received a national All Phi Delta Athlete award and was the winner of the Myford Award for outstanding athletics and academics. Peterson also pitched for the Westburgh Electric Slo-Pitch Softball League team, winning a pair of city championships.” He was instrumental in bringing minor league baseball to Jamestown in the early 1970s as well as keeping a team in Jamestown in the 1990s.

Birds' Nest Cookies By Katy Wise Contributing Writer

Yes, Easter may be this weekend and while that may restrict your last minute craft and recipe selection quite a bit, there are still plenty of ideas that don’t require much of your time. A recent recipe that we tackled in our home was no-bake birds’ nest cookies. This is a recipe that has been around for quite some time, and has many variations. These cookies have also been named ‘haystack cookies’ and ‘chow mein clusters,’ but whatever they are called, they’re delicious. When I set out to make these cookies, I honestly had no idea how easy they were going to be. They took less than an hour to make, and that time would probably have been even shorter if it were just me making them and not me and my little 4 year old baking assistant. But that also would have been less fun. Joshua had a blast carefully placing the little eggs in their nest (and sneaking an egg every once in awhile…) We discussed chickens laying eggs and how eggs can sometimes have baby chicks inside of them, and how mommy chickens lay eggs but not the daddy chickens, just like humans. This led to Joshua asking if his baby sister was going to come out of an egg, and he came to the conclusion that ‘Joshuas are special because they can lay eggs in cookies.’ So maybe it wasn’t the most accurate of teachable moments, but then again he’s four. Maybe next Easter the concept of eggs will be a little less silly, and a little more factual. Anyways, if you are looking for a kid friendly recipe, this is it. Hope that you can enjoy it as much as we did! Birds’ Nest Cookies 1 pkg. Butterscotch chips 1 pkg. Chow Mein noodles 1 pkg. Cadbury Mini Eggs or Jelly Beans ½ C. Peanut butter (optional) Use your microwave to melt butterscotch chips in large microwaveable bowl, about 30 seconds at a time. Stir well after every 30 seconds until smooth. We heated our butterscotch for about 2 minutes total, but this will depend on your microwave. If you’re going to add peanut butter, now is your time! Stir in a nice big scoop of peanut butter and microwave butterscotch for 30 seconds one last time to combine both ingredients. Stir well and add in chow mein noodles. Continue to stir until all of the noodles have a butterscotch and peanut butter coating. Using a tablespoon or wooden mixing spoon, plop your nests onto a cookie sheet. You can use parchment paper on top of the cookie sheet if you so desire, but our cookies came off of our nonstick cookie sheet just fine without it.

While the cookies are still moist, ‘lay eggs in the nest.’ This is where a small set of helping hands can be a great help. My job was to plop the nests and Joshua laid the eggs. Allow cookies to dry and serve! Cookies will take about 2 hours to set, recipe will yield between 30-40 cookies. As always, thanks for reading, and a very Happy Easter from HBK!

The Weekly Word

THE CHRISTIAN AUTHORITY

Rev. Timothy Stahlman Family Church Jamestown fcjamestown.org

Satan is called the "god of this world" in 2 Corinthians 4:4. In Luke 4 we are told that Jesus was taken into the

wilderness to be TEMPTED by the devil. (Luke 4:12) This doesn't mean Jesus sinned, it means He was given the opportunity to sin, but he resisted. During this temptation Satan wanted Jesus to worship him in exchange for the power over the kingdoms of the Earth. Luke 4:6 says, "And the devil said unto him, all this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is DELIVERED UNTO ME; and to whomsoever I will I give it." Many people have said that Satan lied and couldn't have given the power of the nations to Jesus. If Satan was lying then Jesus would have known it and there would not have been anything to be tempted over. Who delivered the nations

to Satan? Did God? No, mankind did. Jesus Christ will take complete control of Earth someday, but until then Satan does have power here on Earth. However, Satan does not have authority over a Christian who knows who they are in Christ. Whether or not Satan can destroy your life depends on what kingdom you are participating in. Colossians 1:13 says that God has taken the BELIEVER out of the authority of Satan's kingdom and put them in God's Kingdom of His Son. The Kingdom of God on Earth is made up of all those who have put their faith in Jesus Christ. The believer has been given the authority to

exercise God's principles on Earth and rule over darkness and evil temptation. Luke 10:19 says, ( Jesus speaking) "Behold I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt you." The Lord has granted us authority over any work of the devil. Will I automatically be safe from the attacks of the devil because I am a Christian? No, you have to use your authority. 1 Peter 5:8 says, "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion walketh about, seeking whom he MAY devour." The word MAY means "if you give him permission." If you are a Christian and

you are not putting away sin in your life by obeying the Word of God, then you will allow Satan to devour you because you will be participating in his kingdom. Participate in God's kingdom by arming yourself with what the Bible says and then act on it. Then you will not "give place to the devil". (Ephesians 4:27) Authority doesn't work until you decide to use it. An off duty police officer who is out of uniform cannot stop anybody until he reveals his badge of authority. In the same way our authority over Satan will not work until we command him to halt his activity in our lives.

United States Attorney William J. Hochul to Host Program at Jackson Center

57th United States Attorney General Robert H. Jackson

Contributed Article Robert H. Jackson Center

The Robert H. Jackson Center announces a 75th Anniversary Program titled Attorney General Robert H. Jackson on The Federal

Prosecutor to be held at the Jackson Center on April 9, 2015 at 7 p.m. The event, hosted by United States Attorney William J. Hochul, Jr., will examine the continued relevance of Jackson’s 1940 speech, The Federal Prosecutor. The Federal Prosecutor was one of Jackson’s most significant speeches made as the 57th United States Attorney General. Delivered during the Second Annual Conference of the United States Attorneys, the speech outlined the duties and role of the federal prosecutor and more importantly laid out Jackson’s vision for their ethical and proper conduct. The evening will feature a panel discussion on the sig-

nificance of Attorney General Jackson’s speech and its continued relevance today. Guest panelists include United States Attorney for the Western District of New York, William J. Hochul, Jr., Honorable John M. Cleland, Senior Trial Judge for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Mike Connelly, Editor and Vice President of The Buffalo News, and David W. Foley, Chautauqua County District Attorney. Robert H. Jackson assumed leadership of the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) on January 18, 1940. During Jackson’s tenure as Attorney General, he and the DOJ were principally occupied with national defense matters. Jackson and other DOJ officials and compo-

nents provided both formal and informal legal advice and assistance on national defense issues to other government departments. Jackson particularly emphasized restraint in federal prosecution, reining in some of the excesses and publicity-seeking that had preceded his leadership. Jackson served as Attorney General from January 18, 1940, until June 12, 1941, when President Franklin D. Roosevelt nominated Jackson to the United States Supreme Court. The Robert H.

FOXCATCHER, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 13 Tatum) is struggling in obscurity and poverty in Wisconsin when he is invited by wealthy heir John du Pont (Carell) to move on to his lavish estate to form a team and to train for the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Schultz seizes the opportunity, eager to step out of the shadow of his revered older brother Dave (Ruffalo), a prominent wrestling coach and Gold Medal winner himself. With his vast financial resources and state-of-the-art training facility at Foxcatcher Farm, du Pont ap-

points himself head coach of the team, eager to win the respect of his peers and the approval of his condemning mother (Vanessa Redgrave). The dynamic between Schultz and du Pont deepens as Mark embraces his benefactor as a father figure. But du Pont’s mercurial personality and psychological gameplay begins to weigh heavily on Mark’s shaky self-esteem, undermining his abilities on the mat. When du Pont’s favoritism shifts to brother Dave - who possesses

the authority and confidence both he and Mark lack - the trio is propelled towards a tragedy no one could have foreseen. Foxcatcher is rated R and is 134 minutes long.

With music by Galt MacDermot and book/lyrics by James Rado and Gerome Ragni, “HAIR” made its Broadway debut in 1968.

More than 100 students are involved in the Mainstage production, including a cast of 24 and a 13-piece band, which will be in costume and on stage. The show will frequently breach the “fourth wall,” with characters venturing out among the audience. Hillman noted the premise is that a troupe of actors and musicians has taken over the theater in order to hold a “be-in.”

“It packs a real punch. The music has emotional power,” Hillman said. “That’s the strength of musical theater.”

Fitness Fellowship

If you have not yet learned from previous articles, I have a strong belief that fitness goes beyond the physical. It moves into the mental, emotional, and spiritual IF we allow it to. There is no greater proof than to witness the formation of a “Fitness Fellowship” between gym partners. Each partnership is different in image, purpose, and action, but they are all interconnected by the same underlying principle, which provides the reasoning for their assembly. The principal being- POWER is found in FELLOWSHIP. This Power may be exercised in many ways. Some use it as motivation to come to the

gym, others as a medium to learn and implement new habits and routines. The mechanism of action may differ, but the results realized through its working are always the same. As we begin to access, and take hold of it things are changed. There is growth in our fitness, and life. The POWER of FELLOWSHIP is real. As we connect with others, and begin a healthy new “Fitness Fellowship” we notice that our experience in the gym changes radically. For many of us, this change is good and necessary. While we exercise in the company of others, our indi-

vidual insecurities fade away. We piggy back on each other’s confidence, in turn making us more comfortable both in the gym, and in our own skin. Synergy becomes inevitable as we unite our self-confidence with the confidence of others. This synergy, by its very definition brings about a magnitude of increase that could never be realized with input from any one source. Stated another way, the confidence created within a partnership far exceeds the amount any individual can possess. Once this new level of confidence is cultivated, we are no longer intimidated by the glamour of “The Gym”, or by the 300lb strongman

grunting on the squat rack; no matter how loud and sweaty he is. Our focus is shifted from self to group, which blesses us with opportunities for creation and discovery. We are given the chance to craft and govern our own micro society. This then, is your avenue for fitness to leave the gym, and become something greater. It’s how we take fitness from the physical and move it to the mental, emotional, and spiritual. NOW fitness will change your life. When tapped into, this power will force YOUR fitness to produce more than just physical results. It will begin to bear the fruit of CONTINUED ON PAGE 21

World Health Day advocating for action in these areas asking producers, policy-makers and the public to promote food safety. WHO is the world’s leader in protecting and promoting the health of all peoples. I will discuss food safety today- not only is it an important issue worldwide, it is something you should be concerned about for you and your family. In fact, America’s agency for health promotion and protection, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), estimates that each year roughly 1 in 6 Americans (or 48 million people) gets sick, 128,000 are hospitalized, and 3,000 die of foodborne diseases. Children are especially at risk for hospitalization and death, so I know I make food safety a priority at my home you should too. Foodborne illness is defined as diseases commonly transmitted through food and caused by microbial pathogens, parasites, chemical contaminants and biotoxins. Most common foodborne illnesses are

caused by the following pathogens - norovirus and by the bacteria Salmonella, Clostridium perfringens, and Campylobacter. The fact that I cannot even pronounce these instigators is scary enough for me to take notice. Diarrhea, vomiting and abdominal pain are typical signs and symptoms; sometimes chills, fever, muscle weakness and malaise among other serious issues especially for infants, children and pregnant women can occur. The good news is that protecting yourself from foodborne diseases at home is easy. Follow these simple steps to safer food: Keep Clean - that means, keep your hands and your kitchen surfaces clean to prevent the transfer of dirt and pathogens to your food. Wash your hands before and during food preparation. Use hot soapy water and wash for 10 seconds (sing your ABCs). Also sanitize surfaces, utensils and dish cloths regularly. Again, use hot soapy water and disinfec-

tants like bleach-based cleansers. When using cleansers, be sure to read labels and keep any cleansers out of children’s reach. If you have a dishwasher it will sanitize your utensils. Finally, protect your food from insects, pests and animals. These critters are carriers of all sorts of pathogens so keep them out of your kitchen and pantry. Separate raw and cooked foods and prepping surfaces- separate raw meat, poultry and seafood from cooked; and use separate utensils when handling raw foods. Separation assures that pathogens that could be harmful are fully cooked and not transferred to foods that won’t be cooked. Pay attention to food temperatures - Keeping foods at a safe temperature prevents micro-organisms from growing. Thaw frozen food in the refrigerator; do not thaw at room temperature. I am a big fan of using a thermometer to check if meat has reached a safe temperature. CONTINUED ON PAGE 21

World Class Care. Cutting Edge Surgical Work. Right here, at Brooks Memorial Hospital.

LAPAROSCOPIC SACROCOLPOPEXY FOR ADVANCED PELVIC FLOOR RECONSTRUCTION. Contributed Article Brooks Memorial Hospital

Only 80 surgeons in the world are qualified to perform this procedure. 1 of those 80 practices medicine right here in scenic Northern Chautauqua County at Lake Erie Medical Services, PC. (LEMS). Dr. Tawsufe Majid MD, FACOG is a world class surgeon who performs Obstetric & Gynecological surgical work at Brooks Memorial Hospital. World Class Surgical Procedures in Your Own Backyard In a day when the notion of “bigger is better”, many people believe that Chautauqua County residents are flocking to large cities for surgical procedures. Dr. Majid’s track

record proves that this theory just isn’t true. According to Franklin D. Loffer MD, FACOG, Medical Director of the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists (AAGL), “Designation as a CGE (The Council on Gynecologic Endoscopy) surgeon places you (Dr. Majid) among a small, elite group of gynecologic surgeons who have demonstrated through their recent case load in the OR that they are performing outstanding work in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery.” The Laparoscopic Sacrocolpopexy for advanced pelvic floor reconstruction procedure is aimed at improving the quality of life for a female patient who may be experiencing symptoms such as their pelvic or-

gans falling out, difficulty with bladder control, holding continence, and difficulty with bowel movements. Having this procedure done will result in better anatomically placed pelvic organs. This will improve a patient’s ability and confidence to perform all normal, healthy adult activities. The procedure itself is 3-4 hours long, and most patients are resting comfortably at home within 24 hours. The total recovery time is approximately 4-8 weeks depending on the patient and totality of need in the procedure itself. Hear from Gina (45 years old), the first ever patient to have this procedure done at Brooks Memorial Hospital, performed by Dr. Majid & his surgical team:

“Dr. Majid is a brilliant surgeon. The trust level I have with him, and knowing the quality of his work comes from my time working in his office. When it came to my own care we discussed many options, and this procedure was his recommendation for me based on the long term benefit to have an improved quality of life as a result. I would tell anyone considering this procedure, that just like any surgery, there are risks it might not work. That said, I would recommend the procedure. The recovery process is a little longer than a normal bladder sling procedure. If I had a choice, I’d do the same thing again. Dr. Majid is a very caring human being, brilliant surgeon, and made sure I was comfortable and taken care of. And I would return to CONTINUED ON PAGE 21

It’s a friendly place there (Lake Erie Medical Services, PC). I’m happy about the whole thing. Dr. Majid is reassuring and I trusted him, and was very pleased with him. I was also pleased at the nurses, maternity staff…the dietician was also very pleasant, at Brooks Memorial Hospital…at how they all worked together. All unique individuals, all working for a common goal.” In closing, we’d be remiss not to mention Dr. Majid’s track record of having no infections post-surgery and no re-admissions after surgery.

WORLD HEALTH DAY, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 18 The temperature and “doneness” at which different pathogens are destroyed varies. A visual sign of "doneness" often causes drying out meat and that’s just not very appealing. Using a thermometer assures food has reached a safe temperature. Most meat should be cooked to 145°F and poultry to 165. Allow meat to rest for at least three minutes before carving for safety and tastiness. Make sure soups and

stews are brought to boiling before consuming. And keep foods piping hot before serving. Last, refrigerate “left-over” foods promptly. Finally, report to the health department if you think you have a foodborne illness - having a record can help track and stop others from getting the illness For more information on food safety, check out who.int and cdc.gov.

They were always checking on me, and my husband. I would recommend Brooks Memorial Hospital 100%.” Urodynamic Testing Prior to determining if this surgical procedure is the right for a patient, Lake Erie Medical Services performs minimally invasive Urodynamic Testing for bladder dysfunction at our Fredonia Office . Urodynamic Testing is a sophisticated computer-based procedure done right in the office to help diagnose problems with voiding (urination) and/or urinary incontinence (involuntary loss of urine). The test takes only about an hour, and provides the team with useful information for planning the best course of treatment for each individual woman. Investing in New Physicians and Surgeons for Our Community Cutting edge medicine with the latest technology is being performed in

our own backyard at Brooks Memorial Hospital. Our very own community hospital is attracting more and more physicians who want to bring their expertise to a community they believe in, and want to be a part of. Dr. Tawsufe Majid MD, FACOG and his wife, Saima Ashraf MD, also of Lake Erie Medical Services, PC, are two of this growing group of hiqh quality, cutting edge healthcare providers in our area. Hear from Roxanne (61 years old) and her experience as well: “I like Dr. Majid very much. I am very confident in him, and his wife (Saima Ashraf MD, also of Lake Erie Medical Services, PC). I looked into this procedure before, and my primary care physician mentioned Dr. Majid, so I looked him up online. I’m really comfortable around him.

Radiantly You

LOCAL BUSINESS STRIVES TO HELP PEOPLE LIVE A MORE NATURAL LIFE

Radiantly You, owned by Melissa Brown, just moved into the Borden milk Factory in Randolph. Contributed Photos. Special to the Star

Three years ago when Melissa’s vision and passion for a healthier, safer world for her family was lit, Radiantly You was born. As a mother of three (soon to be four) kids, all ages 4 and under, Melissa knew that there had to be better options for the most commonly used products in her home and she was frustrated with all the hidden toxins and carcinogens she was finding. With her husband, Nick, on board, the two of them decided to tackle creating a company built on the foundation of educating and empowering others to ditch the chemicals and switch over to healthier options. The philosophy has caught on and they have built Radiantly You into an extremely successful corporation and decided to build their empire right here, in the Randolph Community. Previously located on Jamestown Street in the old Vern’s Restaurant spot, Radiantly You spent 1.3 years of its life making the place their own and truly making a name for Randolph businesses. As they’ve continued to grow and expand by gathering the support of the community and the holistic community, they’ve been able to reach new heights. As a direct selling company, the industry has propelled this amazing growth and RY now has Independent Wellness Guides (the name for the RY distributors) in all 50 states across the country. Deciding to keep their company local, Radiantly You has officially made the move to a bigger, more suitable space and they found that space in the old Borden Milk Factory, also known as

ALCOA and CSI on Center Street in the village Randolph. Residing in the second level of the old Alcoa/Closure Systems International building, Melissa and Nick fell in love with the old charm and character of the century old building – the hardwood floors, high ceilings and exposed brick helped seal the deal to where Radiantly You will be calling home for hopefully decades to come. Radiantly You couldn’t be more excited about the move and the future success of Radiantly You and we know that with their dedication and

passion for safe, nontoxic products while simultaneously providing the opportunity of financial freedom for so many American families, this truly is the Path to a Greener Future™. If you are interested in learning more about Radiantly You or possibly becoming an Independent Wellness Guide yourself, please visit: www. radiantlyyou.com/corp for more information. An upcoming Open House is also in the works and dates will be announced in the next month.

and acquired even more land in the Worksburg area. A couple of years later, Falconer, who was on the Board of Directors of the Alleghany and Pittsburgh Railroad, donated a generous amount of land through Worksburg to the railroads, which ensured the two’s passage directly through the town.

He bought his father’s sawmill and businesses and even started several others, including building Falconer’s first hotel. From the late 1870s until his death in 1915, William Falconer helped Falconer become a thriving community with several manufacturing businesses taking root. Falconer was officially incorporated as a village in 1891. Railroads and Trucking Routes Falconer’s success in manufacturing went hand in hand with its location as a regional rail hub during the late 19th Century and well into the 20th Century. Falconer was the junction for three of the lines of the Erie Railway System (The

A New Era At Rose Brook

do MORE with High Speed Internet

GOLF COURSE READY FOR SEASON WITH NEW OWNERSHIP GROUP By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

While the beginning of any golf season is brimming with excitement, the atmosphere will be even a little brighter at Rose Brook Golf Course in Silver Creek. That’s because president and CEO Russ Manguso, who has owned and operated the course for the past 20+ years, finally has his new ownership group — Gary Cerne and Myra Pinker. Cerne, the superintendent of Dunkirk schools, and Pinker, the assistant superintendent of Frewsburg schools, bring a wide array of experience and skills to the 18-hole course. “We’re looking forward to Myra’s expertise in upgrading our food menu,” Manguso said of Pinker, who brings restaurant experience with her to Rose Brook. “We’re hopefully going to get a fryer and close in the porch and start doing fish fry in the future. We’re going to be bringing back music. Our anniversary party is June 6. That’ll be an all-day event with specials on food, drink and golf. “Gary, on the other hand, is a numbers guy,” Manguso noted of Cerne. “I’m going to count on him for that, being the superintendent of schools. I told him I’m going to put that knowledge to the golf aspect. The leagues will give him the scores and he can do up spreadsheets for averages and most birdies and stuff like that. Guys love to see their stats.” Rose Brook has a number of fun, unique events planned again for this season. That includes the ever-popular glow-ball tournament. “We always look forward to our Glow Ball Touranment,” Manguso added.

“Everyone decorates their carts with glow sticks. Last year we had such a great turnout that we had to turn people away. The balls glow in different colors. On a moonlit night out there with all the carts decorated, it’s really awesome.” Rose Brook, now an 18-hole masterpiece, wasn’t always that way. The holes across Beebe Road are relatively new compared to the rest of the course. “We built that side in 1995,” Manguso explained. “We had volunteers picking out rocks of the fairways. My two brothers-in-law helped with irrigation. The Manning Brothers, a local business, carved it all out over there. They did such a great job. I built the greens. My brother is a surveyor and laid it all out.” Even as an established course, the improvements never stop. Manguso has a number of goals for this season. “The tee on No. 18 is being moved,” he said. “It’s been a problem with the trees out there. The big hitters don’t

have a problem, but I’m bringing the tee over so it’s more of a direct hit. A couple of the sand traps I’m going to fi ll in and make them grass bunkers. When you hit a ball long, you can be penalized and I don’t like that. They’re maintenance thing, too. The big ones you can do with a machine but the small ones you have to do by hand.” With surprisingly little winter damage to the course, Manguso is excited for the new season and encourages people who haven’t tried Rose Brook to come down and play a round. “Rose Brook is a working man’s country club,” he said with a smile. “We’ve always used that as our motto. It’s just a happy place to be. It’s a challenging course that is reasonably priced. It’s a great place where you can finish golfing and hit the lake within a mile or two and make a day out of it.” More information on Rose Brook, its tournament and league schedules, as well as seasonal and daily rates can be found at rosebrookgolfcourse.com or on the course’s Facebook page.

- If you have a tee time, honor that tee time. Show up early so you can get your practice in and be ready to tee off when it’s your turn. Courses make tee times for a reason. Being even a few minutes late can really jam up the schedule. - “Play the correct tees for your skill level. A 20-handicap player should never play the back tees.” — Matt Elam (my brother-in-law and a very good golfer). - Decide on a max score per hole. My group never takes anything more than a quad-bogey. This takes away the seemingly inevitable hole where nothing goes right and shot after shot ends up in the cabbage. If one person takes 12 shots, there’s a pretty good chance you’ll hold up another group. - “Slow play is always going to be an issue. Why? Because golfers need to understand when it’s their turn. It’s not impolite or against etiquette to walk ahead of your playing partners as long as you are not in line with the direction they are aiming. Play fast, tee it forward and socialize over a beverage after the round.” — Ryan Swanson, owner, Pinehurst Golf Club. - Is there anything more frustrating than getting stuck behind a group that looks for lost balls for five minutes ever hole? Golf balls get lost. It’s a fact of the game. If you can’t find it within a minute or two, take a drop and keep playing. - “Golf balls are not made of gold; although golf balls are not cheap, they also don’t require a loan to purchase. If your ball is lost, it is simply that. If you think your ball has even the slightest chance of being lost, hit a provisional ball.” — Smith. - “Take 25 practice swings only to hit it 50 feet and repeat.” — My friend Al, clearly being a wise guy. That’s it for this week’s edition. Be sure to check back next week for tips on etiquette regarding consideration for other players as well as proper care of the course. Also keep checking back all season long as my weekly Golfer’s Diary entries will highlight equipment, courses, weather and more — only in the Chautauqua Star. Do you have suggestions for etiquette?

Blue Devils Earn First SUNYAC Win

Contributed Article FSU Sports Information Dept.

BROCKPORT, N.Y. -- The Fredonia women's lacrosse team did enough to justify their national ranking on Tuesday, defeating Brockport on the road, 11-8. Before today the team had not won against Brockport since the 2012 season.The Blue Devils moved up to No. 19 in the IWLCA Coaches poll on Monday after defeating then No. 17 St. John Fisher. After trading goals early in the first half to tie the game 2-2, the Blue Devils extended their lead to 6-2 behind several goal scorers, including two from Kristie Kleine (Cazenovia, N.Y. / Cazenovia). The Devils continued to pour on the goals after intermission with one each from Katie Glagolev (Webster, N.Y. / Webster Thomas) and Audrey Yokopovich (Webster, N.Y. / Webster Thomas), increasing the lead to 8-3. Brockport would rally back mid-way through the second half however. With the score 9-7, Brockport's Kelly Wall put home an eighth goal, prompting head coach Amy Simon to call a time-out with five minutes remaining. (Photo courtesy of Fredonia) Fredonia then shut down the Golden Eagle run in the the final minutes of play, adding goals from Yokopovich and Marissa Cussins (Corning, N.Y. / Corning-Painted Post West) to finish the game 11-8. The Blue Devils will continue SUNYAC play on Friday as they host Oswego at University Stadium. Game time is at 4 p.m. Freshman goalkeeper Nicole Burrows (Baldwinsville, N.Y. / C.W. Baker) earned a .636 save percentage.

Reigning Champs Take Down Devils Contributed Article FSU Sports Information Dept.

CORTLAND, N.Y. -- The Fredonia women's lacrosse team couldn't put the finishing touches on a chance to take down one of the top teams in NCAA Division III lacrosse. The No. 6 Cortland Red Dragons, winners of the SUNYAC for the past 16 years, defeated the Blue Devils on Saturday, 14-10. Early goals by Audrey Yokopovich (Webster, N.Y. / Webster Thomas) and Katie Kleine (Cazenovia, N.Y. / Cazenovia) tied the game earlyon 2-2. After a three-goal run by the Red Dragons, Emily Polizzi (Rushville, N.Y. / Marcus Whitman) netted two in a row to pull the Blue Devils within one.

Cortland's Hannah Elmer scored one of her four goals just before halftime to put Cortland up 6-4 going into the break. The Red Dragons began to pull away in the second half. After a highlight invididual effort from Kleine to net Fredonia's seventh goal, Cortland would score three in a row to go up 12-7. Yokopovich and Polizzi would each tally one more, but it wouldn't be enough to pull off the upset. Along with her three goals, Kleine was credited with three ground balls, three caused turnovers, and two assists. The result today is a large improvement on the 2014 regular season when Fredonia fell to Cortland, 14-2.

Man With Local Ties Making Waves In Extreme Kayaking Contributed Article Jack Dean

“’Tis a fine line between brave and foolish,” Christiann Dean says about her 19-year-old son Galen Volkhausen, when he chose Kayak Competition instead of any other career. In December of 2012, Volkhausen was invited to compete in the White Water Grand Prix in Chile. He was the only teenager of the 30 contestants and he placed in the top 10 in the world. In 2014 and 2015, he worked at Bear Valley Raft Company in Idaho guiding raft trips when he was not competing. Again in 2014, he was invited to compete in a Grand Prix in Canada and he placed well, in spite of frigid conditions. Then in 2015, he was invited to compete in the Rey Del Rio White Water competition in Mexico and he placed in the top five. Next he went to Beza, Ecuador where he won the Jondachi Race and said, “Hopefully we can prove this river is something worth keeping without dams.” Then, he was offered a ride in a kayak school van to Columbia where he was very inspiring to the students. )Volkhausen then spent a month in Medellin, Colombia, kayaking and filming and has just returned to the United States and will be teaching Galen Volkhausen, whose grandfather Jack Dean resides in Westfield, scaled and guiding in White Salmon, Washington this summer. a 79-foot waterfall in Chile in an international kayak competition.

SABRES-LEAFS RECAP, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 26 Matt Ellis and Matt Moulson scored 1:41 apart in the third period to rally the Sabres to a 4-3 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday night in a matchup between the Eastern Conference's two worst teams. Don't tell the Sabres they have nothing to play for after winning their second straight and moving to within two points of the 29th-place Arizona Coyotes. ''It's that pride,'' said captain Brian Gionta, who had two assists. ''No one wants to pack it in here. Everybody is playing right to the end, and it's nice to see.'' That's not entirely what a contingent of Sabres fans want to hear after they spent much of the season openly rooting for their team to finish last. That would guaranteed the team a shot at selecting one of two highly touted draft prospects: Erie Otters center Connor McDavid or Boston University center Jack Eichel. None of that matters to the Sabres. They won in front of a large crowd of Maple Leafs fans, who made the short trip across the border. The crowd included Sabres jersey-wearing fans, who brought signs that read ''Embrace the Tank'' and ''''(hashtag)PRAY for McDAVID.''

''When the puck drops, you kind of put everything aside, and you go after it,'' said Ellis, who scored his first goal of the season and added an assist. ''To have two in a row, it's a pretty good feeling.'' Zac Dalpe and Cody Hodgson also scored, and Anders Lindback made 24 saves, including two key stops against Phil Kessel in the final minute. Buffalo (22-47-8) has one more win than last season, and continued its home domination over Toronto by improving to 15-1-1 in the past 17 meetings. The Maple Leafs (29-43-6) were coming off a 3-1 win over Tampa Bay on Tuesday, but they

squandered a chance to win three straight for the first time since a six-game run from Dec. 10-16. The Maple Leafs are 10-34-3 since. ''You would like to think you're going to continue where you left off,'' interim coach Peter Horachek said. ''But it was just too sloppy. ... Looked like training camp.'' James van Riemsdyk, Eric Brewer and Nazem Kadri scored for Toronto, which has lost six straight on the road. Hodgson started Buffalo's rally by scoring on a wraparound with 6:06 left in the second period 30 seconds after Kadri put Toronto up 3-1.

AMERICAN LEAGUE PREVIEW, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 32

the Yankees’ closer. Andrew Miller was signed as an insurance policy, but Miller will be an elite left-handed arm out of the ‘pen even if he’s not the closer. Justin Wilson was brought over from Pittsburgh and has a mid-tohigh 90s fastball. David Robertson is gone, but the Yankees shouldn’t miss him too much. What could go wrong: There’s a real chance that every player on this team simultaneously suffers season-ending injuries. They’re old. They’re injury prone. Mark Teixeira isn’t the player he once was even while healthy. Carlos Beltran barely cleared the .300 OBP mark last season. Stephen Drew hit a whopping .162 last season. Jacoby Ellsbury was average at best but gets paid like a superstar. With the exception of one fluke season, Chase Headley is nothing special. Didi Gregorious couldn’t hit while in Arizona. o There’s nothing to suggest he’ll hit in New York. Brian McCann hit for some power (23 HRs) but reached base at a hilariously pathetic .286 clip. And then there’s Alex Rodriguez. Last season, Derek Jeter was a distraction, certainly, but still a respected distraction. A-Rod is anything but respected at this point. Things will only get worse if he doesn’t produce. There are big names here, but this could be a very, very bad offense. Outlook: Some of these veteran players *have* to be better than last season, right? The obvious candidates are Ellsbury and Beltran. They’re just too talented to be that bad again (not that Ellsbury was terrible, but he’s capable of so much more). McCann might be a power-and-little-else type of guy at this point. Tex will be hurt half of the season. Headley is a wild card. There’s too much talent on this team for it to be a cellar dweller. If this team stays even relatively healthy, they’ll be in the running headed into the last month of the season. PREDICTION: 3rd place in the East. TAMPA BAY RAYS (2014 season: 7785, 4th place in the East) What to like: Looking at the roster, Evan Longoria is far and away this team’s best player. That’s not exactly a knock on the team. Longoria is one of the best players in the league. Even though Longoria wasn’t great last year, setting career lows in nearly every offensive category, he’s certainly still young enough to regain that ability that made him great. Jake McGee will handle the closer duties and should be among the best in the league. He might not rack up a ton of saves because Tampa probably won’t win a whole lot of games, but McGee is a flamethrower that has the potential to be the next Craig Kimbrel or Aroldis Chapman. There are plenty of options should the young McGee struggle with Grant Balfour, Kevin Jepsen and Ernesto Frieri all having closing experience. Signing Asdrubal Cabrera should bolster a weak offense. James Loney continues to have a nice career, though he’ll never have typical first baseman power. New right fielder Kevin Kiermaier has the Rays brass buzzing. He’ll be counted on to replace Wil Myers. What could go wrong: Top starting pitcher Matt Moore is going to be out until at least mid-season while recovering from Tommy John surgery. Drew Smyly is already banged up, too. That puts a strain on a rotation that is already far thinner than Tampa Bay usually sports. Gone are the days of James Shields and David Price. Here are the days of Alex Colome and Jake Odorizzi. At least Erik Bedard and Roberto Hernandez won’t be counted on for starts again this year. Don’t underestimate the departure of manager Joe Maddon, either. New skipper Kevin Cash has the organization’s confidence, but Maddon was one of the best in the business. The defense

is going to be pretty bad with Cabrera and Nick Franklin manning the middle infield. Neither are exactly known for their gloves. For a team that is going to rely on winning low-scoring games, you’d think defense would be more important. Outlook: Ugh. This team traded away Ben Zobrist, Myers and Yunel Escobar. This offense is going to be hurting. The well of outstanding pitchers in the Minor Leagues has apparently dried up. They’ve plugged in veterans to the lineup when the former, successful Rays’ way was to call up young players. This just has the look of a team that is going to fall out of contention and trade away some key pieces. PREDICTION: Last place in the East.

TORONTO BLUE JAYS (2014 season: 83-79, 3rd place in East) What to like: Power, power and more power. This is a team that’s going to cause some serious whiplash for pitchers who turn their heads around to see just how far that ball is going. Jose Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion have long been one of the most dangerous 1-2 punches in all of baseball. They’ve now been joined by Josh Donaldson and Russell Martin.If Jose Reyes comes anywhere close to his All-Star form, the Blue Jays will have the perfect table setter for all of that power. Justin Smoak and Michael Saunders are getting a change of scenery and there’s reason to believe that either or both of those formerly tauted players can excel north of the border (this is assuming Saunders bounces back from his knee injury, which it sounds like he has). The defense should be improved, too, with Martin and Donaldson. What could go wrong: Unfortunately, one very sad injury has already happened as young ace Marcus Stroman suffered a season-ending knee injury while doing a simple fielding drill. That only compounds the team’s biggest weakness, which was pitching depth to begin with. Drew Hutchinson has been tabbed as the Opening Day starter and veterans R.A. Dickey and Mark Buehrle are rotation stalwarts, but then things get iffy. Marco Estrada had some success in Milwuakee. Daniel Norris and Aaron Sanchez have both seen some success in limited chances. Todd Redmond and Liam Hendriks are also in the mix, but that doesn’t exactly breed confidence. Outlook: It’s easy to see this team winning a lot of games. The pitching isn’t strong, but that power. Yeesh. The pitching across the entire A.L. East is generally quite weak, so this offense should have plenty of chances to show off its potential. Health is key, for sure. Reyes hasn’t really been healthy during his Blue Jays tenure and as noted, the rotation can’t afford many more bad breaks. That said, this is Toronto’s best chance in a long time to break the playoff drought. PREDICTION: 1st place in East. CHICAGO WHITE SOX (2014: 73-89, 4th place in Central) What to like: For the first time in years, the White Sox actually have a lot to like. You have to start with the top of the starting rotation. With Chris Sale, Jeff Samardzija and Jose Quintana, the White Sox have a Cy Young candidate and two absolute studs. John Danks hasn’t been good in five years, but team still feels like he could regain that form. Hector Noesi is solid in the No. 5 spot, but Chicago fans are really waiting for Carlos Rondon to make the jump to the Majors. If Chicago is in contention and CONTINUED ON PG 34

CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, APRIL 3, 2015

AMERICAN LEAGUE PREVIEW, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 32 Rondon is ready, he can come up and really help this team. His energy and talent could give the Sox a boost to a potential playoff run. How fun would that be? The back end of the bullpen was solidified in the offseason, too, with the addition of new closer David Robertson and lefty setup man Zach Duke. The ‘pen might not be a huge strength, but it shouldn’t be a weakness anymore. The top half of the lineup is projected to be solid, too. Adam Eaton, Melky Cabrera, Jose Abreu, Adam LaRoche, Avisail Garcia (and potentially Alexei Ramirez) make for some tough outs. There’s speed, power and on-base ability. Abreu, of course, is a legitimate MVP candidate. What could go wrong: The bottom of the lineup has the potential to be just awful. There’s depth in case a few guys falter, but no combination of Conor Gillaspie, Tyler Flowers, Micah Johnson, Geovany Soto, Emilio Bonifacio, Gordon Beckham and J.B. Shuck is going to strike fear into the hearts of opposing pitchers. The bottom of the rotation could be shaky, too. As noted, Danks is five years past being any good at all. Staff ace Sale is going to miss Opening Day, but that’s not exactly a huge deal. By all accounts, he won’t miss much time. Looking at the roster as a whole, there’s not much injury history. Of course, when you’re as top-heavy as the White Sox are, an injury to Sale, Abreu or Samardzija could really derail playoff hopes. Outlook: The American League Central used to be a joke. Now, it could be in the conversation for toughest division in baseball. Detroit is probably on the way down, but Cleveland’s arrow is pointed up and Kansas City is coming off of a World Series appearance. Chicago would be an fun team to root for. This is the 10-year anniversary of the last White Sox World Series. Look for Chicago to make some noise at the trade deadline to make a run at the playoffs. PREDICTION: 3rd place in Central (though “1st place” was here for awhile. Boldness is fleeting).

What could go wrong: The Indians made little-to-no noise in the offseason. They didn’t really lose any players and didn’t really sign any players. They’ll bank on repeat performances from Brantley and Kluber, but there’s certainly reason to see some regression in both of those players’ futures (if only because they were *so* good last season). Moss is coming over from Oakland, but can he repeat his success with Cleveland? The health of both Bourn and Swisher has to be a concern. By all accounts, the Indians’ defense was among the worst in baseball last season. With the same players, there’s no reason to think that’ll change. A run saved is as good as a run scored, but Cleveland won’t be saving many so it’ll have to score a ton. Outlook: This is a deep, talented team that has many people calling for a World Series run. While it’s true that this team looks good on paper, it’s also a team that’s playing in a brutal division where the teams are going to beat up on each other a lot. As good as four of these teams are, you might have to win the division to make the playoffs. Thankfully, the Indians are well equipped to do just that. PREDICTION: 2nd place in the Central, 2nd A.L. Wild Card.

DETROIT TIGERS (2014 season: 90-72, 1st place in Central) What to like: The Tigers have won the past four A.L. Central crowns. They’ve been a perennial World Series favorite since they signed Miguel Cabrera. Recently, they’ve done so with dominating starting pitching. But gone is Max Scherzer. So the offense will have to pick up the slack. Well, that unit is certainly capable of it. Ian Kinsler is one of the better table-setters in the game. Miggy and Victor Martinez are two MVP candidates in the middle of the order. J.D. Martinez, Alex Avila and youngster Nick Castellanos should all provide quality at-bats. It’s hard to say what the team has in shortstop Jose Iglesias, but he’ll be an upgrade over anything the Tigers CLEVELAND INDIANS (2014 trotted out there last year.

CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, APRIL 3, 2015

AMERICAN LEAGUE PREVIEW, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 35 looking like legitimate World Series threats, this Houston team probably won’t actually contend this season, despite making some strides. PREDICTION: 4th place in the West. LOS ANGELES ANGELS (2014 season: 98 -64, 1st place in West) What to like: Having the very best (position) player on the planet is a great start towards building a successful team. Mike Trout is just that. Yes, his stolen bases and defensive metrics have declined, but the uptick in power has made up for it. The guy strikes out a ton and everyone still considers him the best. So yes, what he does, he does like no one else. The lineup as a whole is hard to poke holes in. Josh Hamilton’s drug relapse is a shame from a personal standpoint, but it might actually make the Angels a better team as Hamilton has failed to live up to his contract to say the least. The offense is solid, the defense is solid and the starting pitching should be very nice. This is a good team, no doubt. What could go wrong: The worst thing that could happen to the Angels is an injury to Trout. That would be the worst thing for the game of baseball, actually. He’s the face of the franchise and the game. The bullpen could also undo the Angels. It’s been an area of weakness for a few years now. The names themselves won’t blow you away, but perhaps the sum is greater than the parts…perhaps. Outlook: With the Rangers dealing with injuries, the Astros not quite being there yet and the A’s having something of a fire sale this offseason, this West might be a two-horse race between the Angels and the Mariners. Both teams will probably make the playoffs, but one will have to play in the dreaded Wild Card game. PREDICTION: 2nd place in West, 1st A.L. Wild Card. OAKLAND ATHLETICS (2014 season: 88-74, 2nd place in West, 2nd A.L. Wild Card) What to like: Truthfully, it’s hard to make heads or tails of the A’s. After jettisoning Brandon Moss, Yoenis Cespedes, Josh Donaldson and Derek Norris, the A’s lost a good portion of their core — not to mention probably their four best players. Depth is still a strength for this team and it’s a good thing. There are platoon situations all over the diamond. The rotation should have some depth as well with Sonny Gray the obvious ace at this point. Scott Kazmir has bounced back nicely from obscurity. Jesse Hahn came over from San Diego while Drew Pomeranz was once a highly touted prospect. Kendall Graveman, Jesse Chavez, Sean Nolin and Chris Bassitt are also in the mix. Jarrod Parker and A.J. Griffin are both recovering from Tommy John surgery but should be ready at some point this season. What could go wrong: There’s a total lack of power on this team. Donaldson, Moss and Cespedes were the power guys and they’re all on other teams this season. Ike Davis, Billy Butler and Brett Lawrie are replacing them and aren’t anywhere close to the power hitters as the first three. Lights-out closer Sean Doolittle is a great player that seemingly can’t stay

healthy and might start the season on the D.L., so that’s a concern, too. Though Tyler Clippard has closing experience. Outlook: No one should ever write off an Oakland team. No franchise has done more with less than this one, but this really doesn’t have the feel of one of those magic A’s teams. There won’t be many walk-walk-three-runhome-run situations that Billy Beane is so fond of. With the Angels and the Mariners looking strong, this might be a team that fights for a wild card as best. PREDICTION: 3rd place in West. SEATTLE MARINERS (2014 season: 87-75, 3rd place in West) What to like: The Mariners are the sexy pick to represent the American League in the World Series this year. It’s hard to find a fault in the argument. The rotation is great with a chance to border on insanity. Everyone knows about Felix Hernandez. Everyone should know about Hisashi Iwakuma by now. But James Paxton and Taijuan Walker might be the next two great aces in the league. The potential to have four stud pitchers (and J.A. Happ is no slouch in the No. 5 spot) is an exciting prospect. The offense is nothing to write off, either. Led by Robinson Cano and the criminally underrated Kyle Seager, the Mariners should be able to score plenty of runs, even in Safeco Field, where home runs go to die. What could go wrong: If both Paxton and Walker somehow implode, the rotation could be in trouble. If Nelson Cruz’s power doesn’t come with him from Baltimore, Austin Jackson struggles, Mike Zunino doesn’t take the next step and Seth Smith proves last season was a fluke, than this team might struggle. Otherwise, the only thing that might go wrong is losing in the playoffs. I think most Mariners fans would be happy just to be in the playoffs. It’s been awhile. Outlook: This is a good team, no doubt. Felix Hernandez has long been one of the best players in the game without getting the chance to play in the postseason. Skeptics laughed at Cano choosing Seattle, but the Mariners have put a nice team together around the star second baseman. This is a team with all the pieces to make a deep run. Winning the division and avoiding the wild card game would be a huge first step. PREDICTION: 1st place in the West.

TEXAS RANGERS (2014 season: 6795, last place in West) What to like: Adrian Beltre and Elvis Andrus continue to form one of the most dynamic defensive left side of the infield duos in baseball. Beltre is even still hitting at a nice clip while building a borderline Hall of Fame resume. Prince Fielder is back from his neck injury and should be able to hit some home runs in the Texas summers. Shin-Soo Choo being healthy CONTINUED ON PG 37

Lake Erie Fishing Hotline Contribted Article NYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation

Rain showers brought all Lake Erie tributary flows up to high and stained. Levels peaked overnight and are now falling. Some of the smaller streams may be an option later this weekend. The latest high water event should clear remaining ice from creek mouths. Earlier this week, anglers were catching some fresh steelhead in Silver, Walnut, Eighteenmile and Big Sister Creeks. Spring run steelhead hit a variety of baits including egg sacs, egg fl ies, trout beads, jigs with grubs, minnows, nightcrawlers, streamer patterns and bugger patterns. When fishing murky conditions, brightly colored baits and fl ies are good bets. For those new to steelhead fishing, see the Steelhead Fishing in Lake Erie Tributaries page for information on steelhead fishing equipment,

locations and links to stream maps. Dunkirk Harbor Anglers have been catching a few trout from the city pier and DEC fishing platform, but fishing has been slow for most. Spoons, spinners, jigs, live minnows and egg sacs are good trout offerings. Chautauqua Lake The main ice sheet is still about 10-12 inches of mixed ice (white and black). Be very cautious near shore as those areas are deteriorating fast. Areas off stream mouths are opening up, so keep a safe distance. Anglers continue to see good yellow perch catches around the north basin at depths of 25-40 feet. Nice sized perch of 8-10 inches have been found at sites off Long Point, Midway, Vikings, Prendergast and the Bell Tower. Small minnows have worked best. If you are catching mostly small perch, a short move can make the difference.

AMERICAN LEAGUE PREVIEW, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 36 could help this team a ton, too. Remember Choo was the guy that was putting up insane on-base numbers just two seasons ago. What could go wrong: The thing that could go wrong already went wrong — staff ace Yu Darvish is out for the year. That’s a blow to baseball, not just the Rangers. Injuries were a lot to blame for last year’s 95-loss effort, but guys like Jurikson Profar and Elvis Andrus failing to perform at the late was another. Prince Fielder is healthy, but he was showing signs of massive decline even before the injury. The rotation looks less than impressive without Darvish, despite the addition of innings-eater Yovani Gallardo. The bullpen probably won’t be very good either. Outlook: Here’s a team that’s a prime candidate to be sellers at the trade deadline. They certainly have some desirable pieces and will almost certainly be mired in last place. Remember this team was a Nelson Cruz catch away from winning the World Series just a few seasons ago. How far they’ve fallen. PREDICTION: Last place in the West.
