national Comedy Center Proposal Progresses in Jamestown AMBiTiOuS PLAn inCLuDES inTERACTiVE MuSEuM, PERFORMAnCE THEATER AnD RETAiL STORE By Daniel Meyer Star News Writer
Dream great dreams, then make them come true. That is the mindset of Journey Gunderson, executive director of the Lucille Ball Desi Arnaz Center in the City of Jamestown, who is leading the ongoing effort of an extremely dedicated group to establish what would be known as the National Comedy Center.
Their plans include the creation of an interactive museum, state-of-the-art performance theater and retail store that would serve as the foundation for a destination for the major players of the past, present and future of the comedy industry. While much work needs to be done and the culmination of their efforts is still unknown, the general reaction to their ambitious project has been rather overwhelming.
"What we have been hearing is really positive," says Gunderson. "People who have provided us with feedback have been tremendously supportive. There are many people in this community who are rallying around us. We appreciate and treasure that type of support. They want to see this happen and knowing that causes us to become even more excited about what we have planned."
Gunderson and the board of directors of the Lucille Ball Desi Arnaz Center envision the transformation of Jamestown's historic train station, with the construction of a brand new building at Washington and Second streets in Jamestown that would be linked to two existing buildings to establish a campus that would be the home of interactive exhibits, regular comedy Continued on Pg 4

company they’d work hard to grow had shrunken to a point of un-sustainability. Does free speech guarantee us the right to say whatever we want without consequence? Of course not. We must recognize that Newton’s law of motion rings true for words just as much as physical entities. Whatever we say will have a reaction, for good or bad. But that does not give the right to any individual, group or lawmaker, swinging left or right, to set in places policies that remove a way of thinking from the forefront. Throughout history, whenever people began to be told the right way or wrong way to think, chaos ensued. Our job is to present options, and let people choose for themselves, especially in a state-funded institution where the name of freedom ought to be shouted from the rooftops.

the freedom of speech based on the fact that the conservative newspaper was targeted for destruction. After a few years, and an appeal, liberty stood strong (pun intended), and the determination was that there had been a violation of free speech was determined. But this case brings to light a situation that is becoming increasingly prevalent across this great free land of ours. A freedom that is given in particular to members of a particular way of thinking and acting, and withheld from those who oppose it. Is it great in abundance? No, not yet. But if you look, you can see the seeds that have already begun to germinate. Take, for instance, the case of the bakery shop owners in Colorado. The owners of a shop who decided it didn’t jive with their business to bake a wedding cake for a same-sex marriage ceremony were attacked and demeaned, not only by the public but also by lawmakers. The subsequent effect of it was a complete loss of business; the

This week we are featuring “Moe and Molly” and “Molly.” Moe and Molly are a mom and son pair of cats. They are very loving, but Moe tends to be shy. He really gets his courage from his mom so we are trying to place them together. If you adopt both, we will waive the adoption fee for Moe. It would really be best for him them to stick together. Our other Molly is a seven-year-old Beagle mix. She is very loving, likes to give kisses and play with toys. She can get startled by strange noises, so no kids under five would be best. She also is part of our Senior-for-Senior program. If you have a place in your heart for any of these pets or the others at CCHS, please stop by and meet them at the Adoption Center at 2825 Strunk Road, Jamestown. You will be glad you did.

April is national Cancer Control month TAkE STEPS TO LESSEn THE RiSk OF CAnCER
Contributed Article County Department of Chautauqua County DOH
April is National Cancer Control Awareness Month and a great time to raise awareness of cancer prevention, detection, and treatment methods as well as to give support to cancer patients and survivors. “Cancer is the second leading cause of death in Chautauqua County, but it doesn’t have to be as nearly two-thirds of all deaths due to cancer are preventable,” said Christine Schuyler, Director of Chautauqua
Health and Human Services. “Many risk factors that contribute to cancer are controllable and spring is a great time to make small, healthy lifestyle changes that can have a big impact on cancer prevention and our overall health.” A key action to preventing cancer, or catching it early, is staying up to date on recommended cancer screenings for breast, cervical and colorectal cancers. Early detection may make treatment more effective and reduce the likelihood of death. If found
early, cervical and colorectal cancer growths can be removed before they develop into cancer. Getting the human papillomavirus vaccine (HPV) can prevent cervical cancer from ever developing. The New York State Cancer Services Program provides free cancer screening to eligible uninsured and underinsured New Yorkers in every county, including Chautauqua (1-866442-2262). Screening for colorectal, breast, and cervical cancer is also a covered benefit through Medicaid as
well as health plans participating in the New York State of Health marketplace. In addition to regular screening, engaging in healthy behaviors may reduce your risk of developing cancer. Some of the most important steps individuals can take are to: • Kick the habit. If you use tobacco, quit. If you don't use tobacco, don't start. For smokers who need help quitting, help is available through the New York State Smokers’ Quitline by calling 1-866-697-8487. Continued on PAge 7
nATiOnAL COMEDy CEnTER PROPOSAL PROgRESSES, COnTinuED FROM Pg 1 showcases, a studio to record comedy albums and other special tapings and a retail component that would sell merchandise featuring the comedic talents of legendary performers as well as up and coming comedians emerging on the scene. While the showcasing of all things comedy would provide great entertainment to anyone to visit the National Comedy Center, major stakeholders in the community are excited about the idea of approximately 125,000 visitors coming to the region on an annual basis and the estimated economic impact of around $25 million. "In our meetings and conversations with elected officials at various levels of government, we have found
that they want an exciting project like this to happen for this region," says Gunderson. "The potential economic impacts excites and intrigues them. It would make Jamestown become a prominent place and really do wonders for Western New York as a whole." Nearly $2 million in total funding obtained from the John R. Oishei Foundation and The Gebbie Foundation is currently being utilized to fi nalize plans for the comedy center, with representatives from Jack Rouse Associates, a nationally renowned attraction design firm handling the specific details of the proposal, which should be completed later this spring. With plans to break ground next year, one
of the key components of the project is the complete redevelopment of the train station’s patio park area, which Gunderson says has been a commonly mentioned goal of various entities based in Chautauqua County. "The redevelopment of the riverfront is something that residents of Jamestown and the surrounding area want to see happen," says Gunderson. "This will help connect the community to their riverfront. We have heard from several people and organizations that is extremely important to them. This will help btter engage local residents and visitors to downtown Jamestown and all that it has to offer." The goal of having a truly interactive museum with high-tech
exhibits and not just focus on the establishment of a comedy hall of fame is important to Gunderson and the other supporters of the comedy center plan. "The traditional museum does not work anymore," says Gunderson. "You need to be a destination that is interactive and fun and is able to engage and celebrate, which in our case is the celebration of the craft of comedy by paying respect to the past, promoting the present and giving opportunities to the future. This will be much more robust than just a traditional hall of fame. It is going to be an entire experience that captures our vision of highlighting the tremendously talented entertainers of the comedy industry."

Easy easter carrot cake Cool thoroughly before frosting. Allow to cool in pans for about 15 minutes before removing from pans and cooling on rack. Frost and decorate using Cream Cheese frosting recipe below. Cover and store in the refrigerator.

Every special occasion deserves a special dessert. Something that you wouldn’t consider making for just any typical day, and something that requires a little bit of extra effort.

UV rays are strongest. Always use a broad spectrum (UVA and UVB) sunscreen yearround — water, snow and sand reflect the sun’s rays even when it’s cloudy. Choose sunglasses rated to block most of the suns UVA and UVB rays. • Avoid tanning salons. Exposure to tanning beds in youth increases melanoma risk by 75 percent, and people who use tanning beds are 2.5 times more likely to develop
squamous cell carcinoma and 1.5 times more likely to develop basal cell carcinoma. • Get moving. Exercise for at least 20 minutes three to four days each week. Moderate exercise such as walking, gardening, or climbing may help reduce your risk for colorectal cancer.

Learn About the spring salamander run At Audubon Contributed Article ture into the close-up Audubon Center and Sanctuary
By now you may know that the staff of the Audubon Center & Sanctuary has a Bucket List Series created for their 2014 calendar – that is, a year’s worth of amazing natural history opportunities to experience before you “kick the bucket.” The spring salamander run is an unforgettable experience. The first warm, rainy night of spring brings with it a tsunami of salamanders. Something triggers them – temperature, moisture, day length – and they move en masse on a single night to breeding waters called vernal pools. April’s event is to ven-
world of vernal pools, tiny pools of water in the forest that spring to life each April and offer homes to creatures that cannot survive in any other body of water in the area. From 1:30-3:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 12, you can learn about and possibly visit these quiet pools with no fish. The program will describe the ecology of vernal pools, the amazing creatures that use them, and the “big night.” A field trip to Erlandson Overlook Park is planned if the weather cooperates. If the big night hasn’t happened yet, there will be a call list for those who want to be notified about it. This is a “drop

ALERT - NO-FAULT BENEFITS UNDER ATTACK
• If you have been injured in an auto accident, New York State Law requires the insurance carrier for the vehicle you were in to cover your related medical expenses and any lost wages (Insurance Law Section 5103).
• Recently, many insurance carriers are attempting to avoid this legal duty by paying biased doctors, often from outside the area, to support them in cutting off these important benefits.
CAMPBELL & SHELTON LLP has taken the following steps to protect our clients: • We will send an investigator to any suspicious exams and videotape the physician. • We will sue any insurance carrier who denies our clients their benefits without a valid basis (we recently obtained a judgment against Allstate for a client’s unpaid benefits, costs and interest). For these and many other reasons, if you are injured in an automobile accident you need experienced and capable legal representation as soon as possible.

A gOOD DECiSiOn, COnTinuED FROM Pg 10 "Farmers continually face uncertainty due to weather conditions and are forced to contend with unpredictable cold snaps year in, year out. This important declaration will allow our grape farmers to receive the critical federal assistance that will allow them to recover from the losses and move forward. Because of the importance of the wine and grape industry to our entire economy, the damages they’ve suffered will have a far-reaching effect. It is critical that we vigorously support them during this difficult time," said Senator Young. The USDA’s official disaster declaration will allow hundreds of grape growers in
19 upstate counties, including Chautauqua, Cattaraugus, and Allegany, to be eligible for federal emergency loans and assistance. Farmers are now bracing themselves for this summer, when the full extent of the damages will be better known. "I thank Congressman Tom Reed, and Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, for working to secure this declaration. I will stand with our dedicated grape farmers during these difficult days and make every effort to ensure they receive the help they need and our wine and grape industry comes back stronger than ever," said Senator Young.

“He’s done a lot of interviews about Woodstock and his career in the music industry,” Petri said of Kornfeld, who started out as a songwriter. Two of his compositions, “The Pied Piper,” by Crispin St. Peters, and “The Rain, The Park and Other Things,” by the Cowsills, established him in the industry. “We’ll discuss his career as a songwriter, Woodstock, and his career after that,” added Petri, who also discovered Kornfeld’s credit on “Just A Room,” on a Turtles’ album. More than four decades have passed since Kornfeld, who began his career in
the music business in the mid-1950s, formed Woodstock Ventures, an unlikely partnership, with Michael Lang, a small-time concert promoter, and a pair of Wall Street venture capitalists with Ivy League pedigrees, John Roberts and Joel Rosenman. At the time, Kornfeld was a vice president at Capital Records in New York City. All were in their early-twenties. Conceived to generate money to create a recording studio and retreat in rural upstate New York, the outdoor concert was beset by a myriad of problems, not the least being the loss of the host site just five weeks before
the opening. A frantic search mounted via helicopter yielded a 600-acre dairy farm near Bethel, N.Y., that was available. Somehow, Woodstock magically came together during a turbulent time in American history. The nation was torn apart by the anti-war movement and civil rights riots. Promoted simply as “three days of music and peace,” Woodstock ultimately attracted 500,000 young people – more than 10 times original estimates – and resulted in the closure of the New York State Thruway due to massive traffic jams that stretched for miles. For three days, the town of Bethel was the third largest municipality in New York State. The impressive lineup of talent, drawn by a then unprecedented offer of $12,000 per group, included: The Who, Santana, Janis Joplin, Creedence Clearwater
Revival, Jimi Hendrix, Joan Baez, Grateful Dead, Joe Cocker, Sly and the Family Stone and, in only their second live performance together, Crosby, Stills Nash & Young. The feature-length film, “Woodstock,” was both a commercial and critical success. Kornfeld has promoted over 100 platinum records, working with diverse artists such as Chapman, Pink Floyd, Aerosmith and Bruce Springsteen. He also hosts his own radio show on the ArtistFirst Radio Network. “Woodstock, to me, was about getting rid of all the bull that was happening with the right and the left, and saying, no matter who you are, come, come to Woodstock and experience three days of peace, love and music,” Kornfeld said.

church. This week I want to discuss another way to honor God… supporting your local church financially. In the Book of Malachi, chapter 3, God tells His people that they’re a dishonor to Him because they are not giving their tithes and offerings into the temple. In Malachi 3:8-9, His people question Him, “In what way have we robbed You? (and God replies) In tithes and offerings. You are cursed with a curse, for you have robbed Me, even the whole nation.” It’s clear that God considers their reluctance to give tithes and offerings as being a dishonor and a serious offense. Is money (tithes and offerings) important to God? The answer is found in Malachi 3:10-11. The scriptures reveal that it’s not the money but our obedience that matters! When we’re obedient, God promises to “… open up the windows of heaven and pour
Strongholds of the Mind

My pastor mentioned that we should dress better at church. If God “looks at the heart,” why would He care about our outside appearance? In the last few weeks we have examined why it’s really about honoring God when we dress our best at church. Again… its not that we must have a certain style or type of clothes, but that we honestly seek to show God respect by wearing the best that we have. We also mentioned that we can show honor to God when we demonstrate our respect for the institutions that God has put into place for our benefit such as government and
out blessings for us that there will not be room enough to contain it all.” (11) “And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes so that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground.” God tells His people in 3:12 that, “…all nations shall call you blessed.” In simpler terms, these scriptures tell us that through our obedience, He can bless us abundantly and keep us and our provisions safe and secure. The word “blessings” means fully supplied in finances, health, and all provision. Our blessings can then be observed by the world so that they will know who serves God and who doesn’t (3:18). So you see…it’s not just about being blessed by God. God’s ultimate purpose is that through our honor and obedience we are able to receive the fullness of His desired blessings and be His examples to the world of how much He loves us!

The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 10:4-5, "For the weapons of our WARFARE are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of STRONGHOLDS; casting down IMAGINATIONS and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God and bringing into captivity every THOUGHT to the obedience of Christ." These scriptures are speaking of the battle that rages in our mind. That battle consists of thoughts and imaginations that would lead us to develop strongholds in out thinking. Strongholds are simply patterns of thinking that will cause you to act a certain way in life. The Bible is clear: The battle in our life is first won or lost in the mind. Strongholds, or patterns of thoughts that are acted upon,
do not happen overnight. They are developed over time through a progression. If we look closely at 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 we will see the progression of how strongholds are developed. The first step is thoughts. At the onset, thoughts appear to be random. They appear to be fiery darts shooting through our wandering minds. Thoughts are seeds seeking harvest in our lives. Have you ever been sitting at work or at some menial task and had a terrible thought rip through your head? You sit there thinking to yourself, "If people knew the thought that just went through my brain they would disown me from their life!" We all will admit that we have had terrible thoughts in our head at one time or another. What are those thoughts trying to do? They are trying to create a harvest of that thought in your life. For example, how is it that people cheat on their spouses? Do they just wake up one day and say, "Today is the day I think I will be unfaithful in my marriage." No, that's not what happens. It all started with a thought. They had an argument with

their spouse and that opened the door to a terrible thought. The thought came to them, "I am not happy with my spouse. I need something else." That thought is there as a seed or fiery dart trying to bring adultery into their life. The second step on the way to developing strongholds is the imaginations stage. 2 Corinthians 10:5 says, "Casting down IMAGINATIONS..." The word "imaginations" is referring to scenarios that people think about. Once a thought has begun to take root in a person's life they will then begin to imagine a scenario of that action taking place. They start to think about how to make it actually happen. At this point a person is actually considering acting upon that thought that wants to damage their life. This happens all the time with people. They begin to consider leaving a church, cheating on spouse, trying an addictive substance, having a promiscuous relationship, or something else that will hurt their life. Finally, if they act it out it is then a genuine stronghold.

Depending on the waters and the region, certain fish can be sought after year round, but for trout lovers, nothing excites an angler more than the anticipation of opening day and the first cast of a rooster tail or a simple worm into the frigid water followed by a golden flash of a brook trout on its trail. Trout fishing differs from other kinds of fishing and attracts a unique breed of fisherwoman to the sport. These aren’t the bikini clad women you see in magazines fishing on white sandy beaches or swimsuit models casting off the side of a shiny new bass boat. Trout fishing women are the kind willing to bushwhack through the woods to get to a sweet little honey hole that’s up the river a piece, or take their chances with wood ticks, snakes and black fl ies so they can catch and release that same rainbow trout again this year. These women prefer the sweet aroma of wood smoke and crisp morning air as their potpourri and a pair of waders and a wicker creel bag for accessories. Trout fisherwomen tend to like camping as a pastime,
This week marks the opening day of trout season in New York, where many female anglers will hit the streams for the first time this year in hopes of catching rainbow, brook or brown trout.
go hiking in the woods for exercise and wear baseball hats without worrying about their hair. They are a different breed of angler. April 1st marks opening day of trout season in New York State, which hopefully comes with the end of cold snowy days and the beginning of warmer temperatures. Nearby Pennsylvania’s trout season starts a little later on April 12th which further
extends the trout fishing zone of a local angler into pristine mountain streams of the Alleghenies and habitats of native trout species. Anyone under the age of sixteen can fish without a license in either state or persons fishing in waters on their own private property. Adult anglers can purchase their annual fishing license as part of their sportsmen’s package, as a standalone
fishing license or invest once in a lifetime license for the diehard fisherwoman. Since women tend to make excellent planners, many trout fishing women spend the cold winter months getting ready for this April opening day. Tying flies, making leaders, cleaning and maintaining reels and rods and replacing line are all activities of a busy angler prepping for the season.
CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, APRIL 4, 2014
Tackle boxes get organized, creels are cleaned or replaced and waders repaired from the slices and holes of sharp rocks and sticks of the previous year’s season. In addition to their planning skills, women have several natural characteristics that make them excellent trout fishermen. They have a tendency to be more patient, allowing them to fish a hole or stream with persistence until the big one takes the hook. Women also pick up on subtleties more than others which give them the edge when feeling the line with their fingertips for a fish nibbling on the bait. A woman’s attention to detail also gives her the ability to better interpret signs of fish, identify maximum water conditions and avoid places with lack of habitat, increasing her chances of landing the elusive spring trout. And let’s face it, a woman’s criteria for picking pretty, shiny lures tends to work, despite feedback from anglers of the opposite sex. Whether joining a boyfriend or significant other in a little game of “who can catch the bigger fish”, taking the kids out to teach a few worms to swim or just wanting to spend some quiet time lulled by the ripples of the river and the rustling of the trees, the trout fishing woman has looked forward to the arrival of this week since the first snowfall in November. Gone are the parkas and snow boots of the frigid winter months and hello to waders and T-shirts. Does anyone smell something fishy?

the man Behind the mask (Part two) FALCOnER’S LinDquiST SHARES MORE STORiES FROM uMPiRing CAREER
do MORE with High Speed Internet
By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
Editor’s note: This is part two of the story on Benjamin Lindquist. Part one can be found in the March 28 edition of the Chautauqua Star or on starnewsdaily.com. Benjamin Lindquist spent six years of his life on the road as a Minor League Baseball umpire. It was a profession he knew he wanted to pursue from the time he was 14 years old. There are many things people don’t consider about umpires. One of those is that they don’t get any ‘home’ games. The players get to sleep in their own beds and often see their families and friends when they play half of their games at home. Umpires are constantly on the road, counting themselves lucky to get more than three games in any one location. At the lower Minor League levels, umpiring crews are made up of just two men. It’s not until Double A and higher that the crew jumps up to three men. Think about that: A crew of two of three men travel together, room together, work together and eat together every day from March until September.

“Sometimes you don’t even realize it until it’s over how much you did or didn’t get along with someone,” Lindquist said. “You don’t really have a choice when you’re with them. I had a partner in one of my first few years, we got along great. We had no issues at all. Other times it’s harder than having a girlfriend or being married. There are times you just want to get away for a couple hours but even then, you only have one vehicle. “There are guys you develop great friendships with and will always continue
to keep in tough with and there are guys where when you pack your equipment away at the end of the year you might never talk to again. I’ve got both.” In one of the ultimate ‘what ifs’, Lindquist was scheduled to work with another young umpire named Chris Conroy in his sixth and subsequently fi nal Minor League season. Conroy was forced to take a medical leave of absence and Lindquist was paired with another crew. Now, Conroy is under contract and umpiring in Major League Baseball.
“To this day I still look at it and think how my career could have been different if I worked with him,” Lindquist admits. “To have worked with someone of that caliber and that was headed in that direction, would my career have ended differently?” Part of the fun of being an umpire at the Minor League level is certainly seeing the young stars of the future. Lindquist was fortunate enough to see many of today’s greats when they were just breaking into professional baseball. Continued on Pg 25

More Obscure MLB Award Predictions By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
Last week I took a look at the two most prolific Major League Baseball awards, the Most Valuable Player and the Cy Young Award. I made my predictions and they’re in writing now, so I can brag when I get them right at the end of the 2014 season. Continued on Pg 27

The Man Behind The Mask Part 2 of 2, continued from pg 24 “I can still remember seeing Alfonso Soriano in Tampa,” he recalled. “He had just come into the Yankees’ system. The head coach at the time basically came to us and said, ‘I got this Soriano kid just in and they say he’s going to be better than (Derek) Jeter.’ They were saying Soriano was going to replace Jeter or Jeter was going to have to switch positions.” While it was ultimately Soriano that switched positions, he was far from the last superstar Lindquist had the honor of umpiring for. “It was in the Florida State League and I called my dad one night after I saw Josh Beckett pitch,” Lindquist added. “I said that this kid’s the real deal. He’s bringing it 98 (miles per hour) with ease. He’s got a 12-6 curve and a changeup you kind of shake your head at. He’s an absolute bulldog on the mound. By the end of that year he was in the big leagues with the Marlins.” Of course, there’s a special relationship between home plate umpires and catchers. And you’d never forget the opportunity to umpire behind one of the greatest catchers of this generation. “I umpired behind Joe Mauer just one game,” Lindquist continued. “I knew the name. I knew he was a high draft pick. I knew they were calling him the next Johnny Bench. I’ll tell you what, I’ve never worked behind a catcher that was
that smooth and as an umpire gave me such a good look at the plate. In one game I knew he was the real deal. “Other guys like Ryan Howard and Justin Morneau you just saw the raw power that they had. Ryan Howard with Redding in Double-A was taking half swings and going opposite field for a 390-foot home run. He might strike out 190 times, but when you can hit 400 feet the other way, you’re going to stick around.” There are only a handful of instances during a baseball game that an umpire gets noticed. One of those is when a call is egregiously blown. No one wants to talk about those times. But another is when an angry manager gets in an umpire’s face and gets tossed from a game. “It’s really easy to thrown them out when they call you (names),” Lindquist said with a laugh. “You don’t like to do it though because there’s paperwork involved. You throw someone out and you don’t just get to go home and watch TV. You have to fire up the laptop and do an hour of paperwork, sometimes more depending on the ejection and the aftermath. When you run Wally Backman and he explodes and empties the bat rack and the sunflower seed bucket out on the field, that’s not a fun report. Is it fun to watch? Sure. I had a manager come out and cover up the whole home plate with
“The first play of that game, Wily Taveras, who was a Houston prospect, hits a ground ball to third base and the play is as close as you can get at first base. I call the guy out. The whole time I’m thinking to myself, ‘This is on ESPN. How many times are they going to replay this? Did I get it right?’” A lot of baseball fans will remember in 2003 when Yankees captain Derek Jeter got hurt sliding into third base early in Lindquist was able to umpire for New York Yankees the season in Toronto. superstar Derek Jeter while the shortstop was When Jeter was ready rehabbing with the Trenton Thunder.

Well that’s when “We got a call early bleachers above right you talk about getting in the day telling us field, shirtless, drinking their money’s worth.

He loves his job with the Chautauqua Striders and always has amazing stories to tell of his time umpiring. “The one thing I regret is not keeping a journal,” he concluded. “I could have written a book. The things you see on a daily basis, traveling to small towns, things that happened at the ballpark or after the ballpark — it would have been really neat to look back at those six years. In six years I umpired 1,006 games and 939 professional games. “It’s neat the experiences and the stories that umpiring has brought me."

CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, APRIL 4, 2014
COMMEnTARy, COnTinuED FROM PAgE 24 This week, I’d like to talk more baseball because, well quite frankly the “real” Opening Day is today (I’m writing this on Monday morning before the Cubs play my beloved Pirates). So let’s take a look at three more awards that get handed out at the end of the season — the Rookie of the Year, the Manager of the Year and the Comeback Player of the Year for both leagues. These awards are a little bit harder to quantify than the MVP or Cy Young. The Comeback POY can either be a player that came back from a gruesome injury, a guy with a great story or even a player that used to be great but has struggled for years before returning to form. The MOY is even more difficult to put your finger on. In most sports, this award has become an award simply given to the manager of a team that finally turned the corner. Clint Hurdle of the Pirates got the award in the National League last year after the franchise had its first winning season in 21 years. Did GM Neil Huntington have more to do with the success than Hurdle? Probably, but that’s what the award is now. The ROY is far more just about stats, though like the MVP, I’m sure voters take the team’s record into consideration. So will that hurt a guy like Jose Abreu against, say, Xander Bogaerts? Let’s take a closer look. AMERICAN
LEAGUE ROOKIE OF THE YEAR: Jose Abreu, Chicago White Sox — This is a deep field in the A.L. The aforementioned Bogaerts played very well in his first taste of MLB action late last season and was a key cog in Boston’s World Series championship. He’s solidly pegged as the Red Sox’s starting shortstop for the upcoming year. But, as they say, chicks dig the long ball. And so do I. That’s why I’ll take Jose Abreu as the top newcomer this season. The White Sox gave this guy a lot of money to come over from Cuba and be the team’s starting first baseman. He possesses extreme power and could even lead the league in home runs as a rookie. He’s entrenched in the position with old-timer Paul Konerko as his backup. Two more interesting names for this award are Tigers third baseman Nick Castellanos and Yankees starting pitcher Masahiro Tanaka. Castellanos will be in the same lineup as Miguel Cabrera, so that certainly won’t hurt. He’s the team’s starting third baseman from Day 1 and has all kinds of talent. Everyone knows Tanaka’s story. His stats in Japan were outrageous and if his skills translate to success in MLB, the Yankees have their new ace.

ings. What I do know is that he legitimately won the starting shortstop battle in Spring Training with the Diamondbacks. Last year’s starter, Didi Gregorious, is now on the trade block and the position is all Owings’. Some of the other names in the ROY conversation are Cardinals’ second baseman Kolten Wong and New York Mets catcher Travis d’Arnaud. Wong didn’t have to beat out anyone in Spring Training, so maybe his skills are so great there were no doubts he could handle second base for the defending N.L. champs. But I’m a big believer in competition bringing out the best in players. d’Arnaud has been one of the games top prospects…forever. He’s already been traded for two former Cy Young Award winners. Good catchers are worth their weight in gold, but if d’Arnaud is really as good as they say, shouldn’t he have made a mark in the Major Leagues before his age-25 season? I hope I’m wrong because the
game could use another top-tier catcher, but I have my doubts. The Pirates have a pair of young guns that could challenge for the ROY honors, but neither is on the team’s Opening Day roster, so they’re already behind the proverbial eight ball. But remember the names of Jameson Taillon and Gregory Polanco. AMERICAN LEAGUE MANAGER OF THE YEAR: Joe Maddon, Tampa Bay Rays — I would pick Maddon every single year for a myriad of reasons. First off, he’s the best manager in the game. He gets more from his players that anyone I’ve ever seen. He’s great with the media (aka those that cast the votes). He plays in a small market that always has to rely on playing the game “the right way.” Certainly the Rays aren’t being overlooked anymore, but I think there’s still this odd perception that they can’t possibly be as good as the Red Sox or the Yankees. When in reality, the Rays are
probably better. NATIONAL LEAGUE MANAGER OF THE YEAR: Matt Williams, Washington Nationals — A combination of injuries, overconfidence and poor upper management (seriously, how do you sit Stephen Strasburg in the playoffs?) made former skipper Davey Johnson’s last two seasons with the club a disappointment. The Nationals are loaded with young talent that should take the next step this year. A new manager that leads a nonplayoff team from last year back to the playoffs? Sounds like a MOY to me. NOTE: This in no way means I think Williams is the best manager in the N.L. I’m not certain he’s even a good manager, yet. AMERICAN LEAGUE COMEBACK PLAYER OF THE YEAR: Grady Sizemore, Boston Red Sox — Has there ever been an easier pick for a CPOY? Sizemore hasn’t played in the Major Leagues since 2011. He’s spent the past two years rehabbing from a series of injuries that threatened to end his once-promising career. Now the former fan favorite and All-Star in Cleveland has won the starting center field job in Boston, beating out highly touted prospect Jackie Bradley, Jr with a solid Spring Training. He’s a guy that’s impossible to root against and I, for one, hope he returns to that All-Star form that made him one of the game’s most
exciting players. NATIONAL LEAGUE COMEBACK PLAYER OF THE YEAR: Starlin Castro, Chicago Cubs — What, you were expecting Edinson Volquez? While it seems odd to put the 24-year old Castro as a comeback candidate, that’s just how bad he was last year. His defense has always been suspect (atrocious at times) but his bat allowed him to make the Majors at age of 20. He hit over .300 each of his first two seasons before things started to fall apart. He feuded with his manager. He failed to hustle. But worst of all, his average dropped to .245 while his on-base percentage was a putrid .284. However, the track record of players that had Castro’s type of success at age 20 or 21 is startling. There’s just no way Castro is as bad as he showed last year. Perhaps a new manager in Chicago can rekindle some of that magic the Cubs saw when they signed him to an extension. If not, well the Cubs have Javier Baez in the wings.

Fredonia State dropped a doubleheader Tuesday at Buffalo State, 4-0 and 6-5, in their first SUNYAC softball action of the spring. The Blue Devils (3-8 overall, 0-2 SUNYAC) led the second game 5-3 with two outs in the last of the seventh before falling. The Blue Devils managed just two hits in the opener -- back-to-back singles by
Alyssa Morgan (Soph.; Homer, N.Y.) and Cherise Gunnell ( Jr.; Falconer, N.Y.) with one out in the fourth inning. A doubleplay erased the threat and Buffalo State held on to its 1-0 lead. The Bengals then broke the game open on a twoout, two-run single by Shelly Maggard in the last of the fourth, and added an insurance run on an RBI single by Sarah Gorski in the last of the fifth. They took a 1-0 lead in the
third on a RBI double by Stephanie Novo, the reigning SUNYAC Player of the Week. The Blue Devils only other threat came in the fifth inning when they put runners on first and third with one out, yet did not score. Maddie Coneys was the winning pitcher while Alyssa Brognano (Sr.; New Paltz, N.Y.) took the loss. The Blue Devils unleashed an 11-hit attack in Game 2. Gunnell, Jess Lauck ( Jr.; Buffalo, N.Y.), and

Sabres Sign Nolan To Three-Year Extension
By John Wawrow AP Sports Writer
Sabres coach Ted Nolan will keep building what he started in Buffalo - minus the interim tag. Nolan is staying on as the head coach beyond this season after signing a three-year contract extension Monday. The deal comes 4-1/2 months after Nolan returned to Buffalo for a second stint - this time, initially, on an interim basis. And it's a reward for Nolan, who has provided a spark to a young, patchwork lineup on a last-place team. ''I said back in November that it was a dream to be able to come back and coach the Sabres, and that's still true today,'' Nolan said. ''I'm excited by the challenge facing our team and our organization. And I'm truly thankful to have this opportunity.'' The extension was more of a formality than a surprise. The two sides established the framework of a contract about a month ago and agreed to the deal in principle last week. Nolan took over in mid-November after coach Ron Rolston was fired along with general manager Darcy Regier after Buffalo got off to a franchise-worst 4-151 start. The Sabres (20-45-9) haven't done much better at 16-30-8 under Nolan and are likely
the news of Nolan's contract extension as an important first step toward establishing stability. ''He's a guy that I think is perfect for this type of rebuild as far as motivation and making sure the right guys are staying around,'' forward Drew Stafford said. ''It's been a real challenging season, a lot of shake-ups, a lot of changes. To get that interim tag off is definitely some stability now.'' Nolan is staying on even though Pat LaFontaine - the person who brought him on board - abruptly stepped down as Sabres president of hockey operations on March 1, after only 3-1/2 months on the job. Thanking LaFontaine In this Jan. 2, 2014 file photo, Buffalo Sabres interim head coach Ted Nolan disagrees with referee Darcy for the opportunity, Burchell during the third period of an NHL hockey game against the Minnesota Wild in St. Paul, Minn.

Leino Unlikely Hero In Sabres’ Shootout Win
By Nick Mendola Associated Press
Ville Leino was happy to bask in some rare cheers after netting the winning goal in the shootout. ''Today was awesome,'' Leino said after scoring in the ninth round of the shootout to give the Buffalo Sabres a 3-2 win over the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday night. ''Obviously we haven't been winning that much, so it's tough times but those kind of moments, you get a little extra energy.'' Leino had not scored a goal in regulation all season and has been the subject of catcalls in Buffalo, but drew a roar of approval with his shootout tally. When asked why he tabbed Leino to shoot, Buffalo coach Ted Nolan cited necessity as the reason he used the slumping forward
''He played a real good game for us tonight, and we were running out of forwards,'' Nolan said. ''He's had a tough, tough go, but he's a real good player and I was glad to see him get one.'' Tyler Ennis scored twice in the third period and again in the shootout, while Nathan Lieuwen made 33 saves for his first NHL win. Dainius Zubrus gave New Jersey a 1-0 lead at 8:16 of the second period and Tuomo Ruutu tipped Andy Greene's shot past Lieuwen at 6:58 of the third to tie it 2-2. The Devils, 0-11 this season in shootouts, are three points out of the Eastern Conference's final wild card spot. ''We had a bunch of chances to score and we have guys who are good in the shootout,'' Zubrus said. ''Tough to say it's luck because it's

been 11 games in a row, but maybe a bit of bad luck has to be there.'' Cory Schneider made 25 saves for New Jersey. The Devils outshot Buffalo 10-8 in the opening period, but dominated possession and had the best chances. New Jersey broke the deadlock in the second, when Michael Ryder's cross-crease pass appeared to be knocked into the Sabres goal by
Jamie McBain. The goal was awarded to Zubrus. Lieuwen returned to form after the goal, making a diving stick save on Ryder to keep the score 1-0. Moments later, he stopped Ruutu on a partial breakaway. ''The one word that Teddy keeps using is compete,'' Lieuwen said. ''I just went out there and competed. Good things happened.'' Buffalo got the equal-
izer 1:39 into the third period on a play started by Drew Stafford and completed by a cross-slot pass from Leino to Ennis, who scored on a wrist shot to become the first Sabres player to score 20 goals this season. ''He's a dynamic player,'' Nolan said. ''He scoots in and out, and for him to get that 20, it's a magical number he was waiting on for a while.'' Buffalo took its first lead of the night on a power play just over three minutes later. Cody Hodgson slid a pass through several players to Ennis, who shot high into the net at 4:41. ''He made a pretty ridiculous pass through two or three guys right on my tape,'' Ennis said. ''I just had to throw it on the net.'' New Jersey tied the score on the power play, when Ruutu
deflected Greene's shot past Lieuwen. Lieuwen made backto-back stops on Adam Henrique and Patrik Elias with just over a minute left in overtime. He then had a chance to win the game after Stafford scored in the fourth round of the shootout. ''I had a 'Welcome to the NHL' moment when Jagr came down on me with a chance to win the game and I think I was a little too excited about what was happening,'' Lieuwen said. But after Leino scored, Lieuwen rebounded to pick up that first win with a stop on Mike Sislo that he doesn't quite remember. ''I blacked out,'' Lieuwen said. ''The guy came in and as soon as I made that save, I was just all smiles. I was excited and I'm very grateful.''

Busch’s Victory Raises Hope For Season
By Hank Kurz, Jr. AP Sports Writer
Kurt Busch couldn't be more delighted with his move to Stewart-Haas Racing. Six races into the marriage, he ended an 83-race winless streak Sunday at Martinsville Speedway and said he's learning that a better approach to being an actual participant in a team pays big dividends. ''I ran a lot of my early part of my career as an individual and I didn't respect my team, my team owners,'' Busch said, adding that working with co-owner Tony Stewart is helping him learn a better way. Busch won by passing Martinsville master Jimmie Johnson for the lead with 10 laps to go and holding off the eight-time winner to win at the track for the first time since October 2002. It was his 25th career Cup-level victory, and Busch seemed enthralled that it came in the most unlikely of venues. ''You've got to put life in perspective, and you have to learn from
your mistakes and you can't just sit there and try to muscle your way individually through certain situations,'' he said about 450 laps after a pit road confrontation with Brad Keselowski, whose on-track retaliation had Busch threatening to rearrange his face. ''And so you rely on your experience level, you rely on your team, and this is a great day for me to be able to lift the trophy in Victory Lane for StewartHaas Racing.'' Johnson, with eight wins in 25 career starts on the 0.526-mile oval, led 11 times for 296 laps. He seemed on his way to another victory when he took the lead from Busch with 17 laps remaining. But Busch stayed close, ducked underneath Johnson seven laps later and Johnson had no means to challenge again. Busch held on, his first top-10 finish at Martinsville in his last 17 starts there. The race featured an event-record 33 lead changes, and Johnson expected there would be one more when he retook the lead with 17
DOUBTING MACHINE: Gene Haas was not present for the first victory by the team he funds, and admitted by telephone after Busch's victory that he was resigned to Jimmie Johnson prevailing. ''I was thinking that we would probably pull out in front of Jimmie Johnson and be there for a Driver Kurt Busch celebrates in victory lane few laps, but ( Johnson) after winning a NASCAR Sprint Cup auto race at Martinsville, Speedway in Martinsville, Va., Sunday was better on the long run,'' Haas said.

the year his fans have been waiting for? FALLIBLE JIMMIE? Johnson led 11 times for 296 laps on Sunday. When it was noted that Johnson has had several instances in recent years where his dominance in a race hasn't always led to a victory like he's accustomed to, he first joked about it, then agreed. But, he said, Sunday's outcome wasn't an example of the kind of failure being suggested. ''Today I couldn't have done any more,'' Johnson said. ''I just got beat.'' NON WINNERS: Six weeks into the season, with six winners, words like 'parity' are starting to be bandied about. Knee-jerk? Consider: among the drivers that have yet to win a race this season are Jeff Gordon, Matt Kenseth, Johnson, Ryan Newman, Joey Logano, Denny Hamlin, Tony Stewart, Kasey Kahne, Greg Biffle and Clint Bowyer. That's a whole bunch of perennial contenders waiting to show they are contenders again.
