Editor’s Note: Patricia Pihl was the editor of the Chautauqua Star for much of 2012 and 2013. Her insights and passion for writing spawned many great features in the paper, and encouraged an lasting excellence in production and content. Mayville author and personal historian Patricia Pihl announces the release of her book “Lost Places of Chautauqua County.” The book is a compilation of articles, adopted from months of interviews with town historians, which explore less-known, but fascinating places in the county’s past. The series originally ran as a weekly column in The Chautauqua Star. “Lost Places” covers such topics as Chautauqua County’s link to the Underground Railroad; how Dewittville’s “Poor Farm” was stressed by the new wave of immigrants and its link to the present day county home; the three World War II POW camps; the “islands” of Chautauqua Lake, and other places from the county’s recent and distant past. According to Pihl, the book

also sheds light on interesting residents as well as former social, economic and medical realities. The idea for the series was spawned when Pihl and her husband David, stopped while snowmobiling near the Chautauqua Gorge. Looking across a 200-foot ravine, David pointed to the site where Eagle Ridge Ski Resort once stood. A popular spot with area teenagers, the resort would ultimately close due to the untimely death of
its owner, Tony DeMambro, on its slopes. “The story intrigued me,“ Pihl stated, “and I wondered how many more of these forgotten or barely known places existed in the county?” Pihl would track down Eagle Ridge’s Austrian ski pro, Hans Auer, now in his eighties, to record his memories of the resort and its short, but successful stint as Westfield’s winter haven. From there, she continued interviews of local historians, writing about other
forgotten places of the past. John Paul Wolfe, Curator of the Chautauqua County Historical Society, says the series “covers areas throughout the entire county, creating interest for residents and tourists alike.” Wolfe adds, “it has been an enjoyable challenge to find information for Patricia in the archives for the next article. The amount of research which needed to be done each week was amazing.” Continued on PG 8

Mary G. Bastian
April 21 Contributed Article Ken Springirth
National Train Day will be commemorated in Jamestown on Saturday, May 10 at the historic Jamestown Gateway Train Station (the former Erie Lackawanna passenger station) 211-217 West Second Street from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Rolling stock of the Western New York & Pennsylvania Railroad will be on display along with various exhibits and a toy train sale. Regional rail author Ken Springirth, who has spent the last 50 years researching rail systems and has completed 22 rail books, will have a book signing on his latest book “Jamestown to Buffalo by Trolley,” which is dedicated to Lee Harkness, General Manager of the Jamestown Gateway Train Station along with many agencies and individuals involved with saving the former Erie Lackawanna train station and Bob Johnston, retired Traffic Engineering Supervisor - City of Jamestown whose vision saved Jamestown Street Railway car No. 93 which was delivered to the train station. That trolley car was donated in memory of Harriet
and Mauro Lucariello from their hunting camp in 1996. National Train Day marks several important dates in local rail history. First, it’s the 30th anniversary of the first section of the modern light rail system in Buffalo that opened in 1984. It’s also the 43rd anniversary of Amtrak which began operating most of the nation’s passenger service on May 1, 1971. It is the 100th anniversary of the electrification of the Jamestown Westfield and Northwestern, which occurred in 1914. It’s the 145th anniversary of the completion of the transcontinental railroad at Promontory Summit in Utah on May 10, 1869 which linked the United States from coast to coast by rail reducing travel time from four months to one week. Lastly, 2014 marks the 154th anniversary of the first passenger train arriving at Jamestown, on August 25, 1860. Railroad passenger service in the tri-state region of southwestern New York, northwestern Pennsylvania, and northeastern Ohio and though out the nation peaked in 1916. Growing use of motor vehicles, the Great
Depression, plus the growth of bus and air service resulted in a steady decline. World War II resulted in a temporary increase, but following the war and the beginning of the interstate highway system in 1956 accelerated the decline. By the 1960s railroad passenger service was used by a small percentage of travelers. The Erie Lackawanna Railroad ended passenger service through Jamestown, New York in January 1970. Of the 364 passenger trains that operated on April 30, 1971 only 182 survived when Amtrak began operations. Many experts thought that Amtrak would eventually disappear. Amtrak did survive funding battles, and the argument has largely changed from whether it should be abandoned to how and if it should be expanded. The 1973 Arab Oil Embargo plus increased gridlock on the nation’s interstate highway system in major metropolitan areas resulted in a new look at rail transportation. Trolley car systems in the United States, which had declined to only seven systems by 1970, began a rebirth with a new name light rail transit. Today
there are 30 trolley car (light rail) systems in the United States and 350 around the world with more on the way. This is the first time in the history of the world that a mode of transportation that almost went out of existence has made a comeback. In New York State rail transportation means jobs. Amtrak has an order for 130 passenger cars being built at the Elmira, New York plant of CAF, which means employment for hundreds of people. In northwestern Pennsylvania, Brookville Equipment Corporation in Brookville, Pennsylvania has refurbished trolley cars for New Orleans, Philadelphia, and San Francisco plus completed locomotives for Metro North Railroad, MTA Capital Construction and Staten Island Railroad, and is currently constructing two new trolley cars for the Dallas, Texas transit system. Get on track by marking your calendar for May 10 and head on down to the beautifully restored Jamestown Gateway Train Station for this free educational event that is open to the public. For additional information, phone the Jamestown Gateway Station at 716-483-3041.

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.

information session in fredonia taylor Pancoast to appear on EMERALD ASH bORER DETECTIOn MEETIng senior report SCHEDuLED FOR MAy 5
Contributed Article CCE
A free information session on the invasive insect emerald ash borer will be offered on May 5 at 7 p.m. at McEwen G24 on the Fredonia State Campus. With the recent detection of EAB near Fredonia along the Thruway, learn what this means for homeowners and municipalities with ash trees and what resources are available to assist stakeholders in making management decisions that control costs, minimize risk, and maintain property values. The session is organized by the WNY EAB Taskforce, CCE of Chautauqua County and the NY Invasive Species Outreach Program, with technical support from the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation. Staff members from these organizations will be presenting at the meeting. International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) education credits have been applied for. The public is welcome at this free session. For more information
contact Sharon Bachman with CCE Erie and the NY Invasive Species Outreach Program (sin2@cornell. edu or 716-652-5400 x 150) or Ginny Carlberg with CCE Erie (vec22@cornell.edu or 716-664-9502 x 202). Emerald ash borer is a small invasive green beetle that infests and kills all species of American ash (Fraxinus) trees. EAB has been in the US since the mid-1990s and was likely introduced through wood packing material brought into Michigan where EAB was fi rst identified in 2002. The fi rst detection in New York was near Randolph in Cattaraugus County in 2009. Currently there are 21 counties in New York with known EAB infestations. Ash trees are commonly found as street trees, along roadsides, and in yards and forests comprising 10% of trees in Chautauqua County. In the US, it has been estimated that the cost of removal and replacement of ash trees in affected communities will be over $10.7 billion. Researchers anticipate that woodboring insects such as EAB will cause
the largest economic impacts by annually inducing nearly $1.7 billion in local government expenditures and approximately $830 million in lost residential property values. Homeowners and local governments together are estimated to bear over 90% of the overall costs associated with EAB. Left unchecked an EAB infestation will kill all ash trees. Communities need to consider their management options to retain tree canopy, contain costs, minimize risk, and reduce exposure to liability. Dead ash trees can pose a public safety hazard whether on public lands or private property. Be aware of state and federal restrictions on the movement of wood materials, particularly those relating to wood contaminated with EAB. It is important not to move fi rewood from a known EAB infested area, as this has been shown to be a mechanism for transporting the beetle to previously uninfested areas.

In an effort to better serve customers, Chautauqua County Clerk Larry Barmore has had ATM machines conveniently placed in the County Clerk's office as well as the Jamestown and Mayville, DMV offices.

"The most inconvenienced customers were in the County Clerk's office

"We're always looking for ways to improve customer service without burdening the taxpayers," said Barmore.

Burgeson also added that there will be a new addition to this year’s sale. “I am very happy to announce that we (the MG Program) have partnered with the artists of The Resource Center’s Day Habilitation Services who will be selling their garden art at the event.” Many of the items are re-purposed, such as the bowling ball sculptures, and plant stands made from “old” chairs. Proceeds from their art will be used to purchase additional craft supplies as well as items for The Riverwalk Community Labyrinth. The garden
art sale will be held in the large conference room inside the Ag Center. “We are hoping to make this our most successful sale yet,” Burgeson concluded. “Master Gardener Volunteers are such an incredible resource, from the Helpline and Demonstration Gardens to the presentations they give it is an amazing program that truly gives back to the community in too many ways to count. Since starting up in 2009, MGV’s have donated over $380,000 worth of time to Chautauqua

The goal of the program is to train enthusiastic volunteers that, in turn, educate and provide research-based information to the community on a wide variety of horticultural topics. The mission of Cornell Cooperative
Extension is to enable people to improve their lives and communities through partnerships that put experience and research knowledge to work. Master Gardener Volunteers are a key link in helping CCE accomplish this mission!

wCa Hospital’s robotics Program Celebrate one year milestone Contributed Article WCA Hospital
WCA Hospital, the region’s leader in healthcare, recently celebrated the one year anniversary of its robotic program. The only hospital in the Southern Tier to perform the newest advancements in minimally invasive surgery, robotic surgery represents a third generation of advances in surgery—one which builds upon the advances of open surgery and minimally invasive surgery. The new daVinci® Surgical System at WCA takes surgery beyond the limits of the human hand, introducing precise, versatile instrument movement combined with three-dimensional visualization of the operative site.

Dear Pastor, I just don't feel like I'm happy. Is there something wrong with me? Spring is in the air (along with the snow!) and this time of year always seems to be a big time of change. The school year is winding down, jobs are changing, and people are moving! While these may seem exciting, change can also inspire people to reexamine their lives. It’s during this process that an individual may realize that they’re unhappy with aspects of their life. The problem may be, however, that they’re just not sure how they got to this point and so may be unsure how to "get over it." I believe, using God's Word, that I can help free you from this burden and bring you to a place of living each day in God's joy. As a Pastor, I've often had people telling me about their unhappi-

ness. This is usually followed-up (or proceeded by) long lists of the things that are wrong in their life. Money problems, relationship problems, health problems, and/or a combination of all of these usually make the list of why they aren't happy. Expecting me to "fi x" all their problems, they are usually quite surprised when I tell them "you don't need to be happy….you need to be joyful!" What does this mean? Let’s begin with looking at the defi nition of happiness. When people talk about being happy, they're usually associating happiness with the acquisition of "good things" and the deliverance from or absence of "bad stuff" in their lives. A sick person usually thinks, "I'll be happy when I'm well." A person with money prob-
lems is usually waiting for "his ship to come in.” This demonstrates the shortcomings of happiness. It's dependant on circumstances. This makes us vulnerable and suggests that we cannot be happy unless or until our problems are resolved. It also sets us up for the deception that we’re supposed to be unhappy when we have to deal with problems. What does God say about happiness? Very little...if you defi ne happiness as "the absence of troubles." He does, however, tell us a lot about "joy". Romans 14:17 says, "The Kingdom of God is not a matter of what we eat or drink but of living a life of goodness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit." Joy is part of our inheritance! Next week…let’s look at the defi nition of joy.
Jesus Christ said in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, the life; no man comes to the Father except by me." What makes Christianity so different than other belief systems and how do we have the audacity to say that there is only this one way? Of course we begin by taking Jesus' words as truth and that following Christ will lead us into a moral lifestyle. But is that the only difference? It truly can't be. Other world doctrines that exclude Christ promote moral living. Many Buddhists, Hindus, and Muslims are moral people. Even pseudo-christian cults that depart from true Bible faith such as the Jehovah Witnesses and Mormonism promote morality. Morality on its own is not the only distinguishing factor for
true Christianity. 1 Corinthians 12:1-2 says, "Now concerning spiritual gifts (supernatural endowments of energy) brethren I do not want you to be ignorant. You know that you were Gentiles carried away to these dumb idols even as you were led." Notice that the Bible says that God does not want His people to remain ignorant concerning His supernatural abilities. It goes on to say that, before we were saved, we used to follow "dumb" idols or false gods. The word dumb here does not mean the lack of intelligence. It means "without the ability to speak or manifest." False gods cannot speak. False faiths cannot hear the voice of their god. They can pray for hours and live morally yet they will hear nothing in return and remain clueless in life. Their conversation is one sided. Not with our God! He hears us (1 John 5:14) and He talks back to us! ( John 16:13) That's the beginning of the supernatural. The only hope for the human condition is to know and converse with the Loving God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ.
No religion will ever do. Only relationship with the True Living God will fulfi ll your life. And that begins by getting saved and learning how to hear His voice. God's voice is heard fi rst and foremost in the spirit of the BornAgain Christian. God will speak to unbelievers but primarily He will deal with their conscience about getting right with Him. God not only wants us saved and part of His family but also being led in every decision we make. Romans 8:14 says, "For as many are LED by the Spirit are the sons of God." The ability to hear and obey takes us into mature sonship with the Father. If you are going to hear God speaking in your spirit you must know where your spirit is. Proverbs 20:27 says, "The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord searching all the inward parts of the belly." The spirit of man is the candle or light bearing part of the human nature. It is the part of us that communicates with God. Notice where it is: In the belly. The word belly means the center of man, or the middle of your torso.

However, there are times that I just need to laugh at the events of everyday life as a mom so I invite you to join me. Our morning started off relatively normal. My husband got both of the boys up and brought them downstairs, dropping them off in our bed. Part of our morning routine is snuggling in bed while Daddy gets ready for work.

Let’s just imagine that all of these things took a turn for the worst at the same time. Also, let’s pretend that Mommy still didn’t have time to shower and thus was stuck in her pajamas with rather frightening bed-hair for most of the morning, which included a surprise visit from
Grampy while Joshua was running around with no pants and Andrew was climbing up the sides of the playpen screaming because I had to stop feeding him to address the current status of our bathroom.

constantly struggling with relationships and other elements of her life. She may have issues with confidence, trust or setting boundaries in relationships. She could have difficulties with selfperception, continuously avoids difficult situations, becomes overly sensitive or touchy, and may even be accused of not falling too far from the tree. If there was a history of abuse or other violent behavior, it’s best to work with a counselor or psychologist when working on forgiving your mother and processing such strong emotions. In other cases, rethinking some of the history can generate strong emotions as well, but hopefully they are emotions that can be handled, processed and put into perspective. As an adult, your perspective on your mother should have more of an adult view and hanging on to the perceptions of a young girl are not healthy, nor do they help either party realize that
it’s time to grow up and move on. Maybe your mother married young, was pregnant and had to get married, had many young children at one time or a husband that left her and she worked two jobs to make ends meet. Maybe she had a problem with drugs and alcohol at the time or your father did, or it was a bad time in her life and she was depressed. Does she suffer from a mental illness that’s never been diagnosed such as bipolar disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or schizophrenia? Maybe your mother was raised by a woman similar to herself and she had no example of a nurturing, caring woman to learn from, or was abused as a child and developed attachment issues at a young age. Asking yourself these types of questions is important to developing a healthier view on an otherwise unhealthy mother-daughter relationship. A woman

doesn’t necessarily have to sympathize, but she can empathize. She doesn’t have to forget, but she can forgive and she doesn’t have to like, but she can love. How can one forgive a mother that’s been so hard to forgive so far? It’s ultimately up to the individual to do what works for them. Just knowing in your heart that you have forgiven your mother for the past may be enough for you and you have no desire to see her in person. Or you may be a person that needs to look her in the eye to forgive her or simply need to talk to her first. You can do it on your own terms
on neutral ground, for as long as you decide you can handle. You can take a loved one for moral support if you need, but siblings that could take sides are a bad idea. Remember to stay focused, express your feelings but don’t attack and forgive your mother out loud if you can. Accept the fact that your mother may not have the capacity to understand why you are forgiving her or she may be clueless as to why you are so hurt in the first place. Loving yourself first and foremost will allow you to forgive. The rest will come with time.

THAnk yOu TO MOMS EVERyWHERE, COnTInuED FROM Pg 18 ing up the baby who was screaming, which for some reason made him scream louder. Somehow, we managed to overcome all of this and more, and the boys eventually took their naps and woke up happy with a fresh start to our afternoon. If you walked into our house that afternoon, you would have no idea that any of this had taken place or that our dishes were overflowing the sink just two hours beforehand. But why am I sharing this with you? Not just for laughs, but because once upon a time your mother did this for you. On a daily basis, your mother, grandmother or caretaker faced similar situations that were necessary to grow you into a functioning adult. You were fed, cleaned, dressed and nurtured every day until you learned from them the
skills you needed to do it by yourself. And even now, there are times when we all just need a mom or a grandma. So this is a thank you to all the moms, grandmas, and aunts out there who, once upon a time, cleaned up an overflowed toilet or changed a messy pair of pants. The moms who went without a shower in
order to clean up after a sick child. The grandmas who have come to the rescue so that mom could conquer the laundry mountain. Mommies who waddled for nine to ten months of their life, nurturing a tiny baby who would one day grow up to be you; an adult who is now capable of reading, taking care of themselves, and possibly even taking care of their own
babies. A special thank you to all the moms who took the responsibility of raising a child who was not yet their own when another woman couldn’t. If nothing else, your mom gave you the opportunity to live. Thank you to ‘moms’ everywhere, for making life possible.

Top Tips
for Moms to Stay Better Organized
New technology can help busy moms wherever they are, keep track of items like phones and keys.
Contributed Article in touch with the kids Statepoint
For busy moms always on the go, it’s crucial to find new ways to save time and money, while reducing daily hassles. Let these organizational tips help you stay on track:
Make Mornings Easier
Mornings are always hectic when you’re preparing the entire family for the day. Simplify those early hours by prepping certain things the night before. For example, pack the kids’ lunches as you’re getting dinner ready. There’s always downtime to put together a few sandwiches while something is marinating, chilling or heating. Spend a few minutes with your children on Sunday nights picking out their clothes for the week. You’ll thank yourself on weekday mornings. Organize your bag the night before. You’ll be less likely to leave something behind when you aren’t in a rush.
keep Track
to using organizational apps. Unfortunately, one in eight moms who use mobile electronic devices and have an onthe-go lifestyle say they lose or misplace their smartphone “very often” or “often,” according to a 2014 Essentials for Mobile Life Survey. But replacing a smartphone is expensive, timeconsuming and stressful. Moreover, mom’s smartphone is often a “keeper” of a tremendous amount of personal, confidential and work-related information. New technology is making it possible to keep track of your phone, as well as other essential appendages, like backpacks, keys and handbags. For example, a new Proximo app made by Kensington includes a fob for your keys and up to four tags on other items to alert you when you’re leaving behind something valuable. It can also help locate the misplaced item with the touch of a button, saving you time and money. More information can be found at www.MyProximo.com.
There’s no doubt about it. Technology is playing Chore Chart an increasing role in parenting, from keeping Why do all the work
yourself? A chore wheel can help you remember what tasks need to be completed weekly. By involving everyone, you can make each member of the family feels their contributions are important. Assign age-appropriate tasks to each member of the family and rotate jobs from week to week. Even the youngest children can learn to pick up their own toys or help with simple tasks in the kitchen. Post the chore wheel in a centralized location, such as on the refrigerator at a height everyone can see.
Make Extra
When you get home after a long day, leftovers can be a blessing if you’re too tired to cook. Sure you can order in, but even that will get old. Plus, the food you cook at home is often healthier and less expensive to prepare. Save yourself the hassle of making dinner nightly by cooking more than you need and freezing or storing some for later. Being a mom means juggling many different things at once. But don’t stress. Find ways to make life easier for yourself instead.

lamps, clocks, jewelry boxes, book cases, picture frames, mirrors, decorative pots and vases, decorative plates, small area rugs, throw pillows, paintings and small sculptures. As you can see there are lots to choose from, so you'll never run out of gift ideas for the home. Huge furniture might not be a good idea, since they can take over a lot of space and may not match other furniture in the recipient's home. However, considering you already know the furnishings in mom's home, furniture can be a wonderful Mother's Day gift. Even smaller home decor can make brilliant Mother's Day gifts. Handcrafted ones are the most precious gift ideas, because their design is oftentimes limited. Dried flower arrangements are great gifts for moms who
are into vintage designs and items. They somehow have that antique flair to them that would look great in the patio. You can also get mom one of those hanging angels or pouched potpourri to hang over doorknobs and in the washrooms. Poem keepsakes are very thoughtful gifts and quite decorative on the walls too.
Handmade Home Items
There's nothing like handmade gift ideas for mom. What's great about home decor gifts is that you can actually make them yourself! Whether you mess up or not, it's really the thought that counts. If your mom loves to garden and is the outdoorsy type, a good idea would be to make her a quirky birdhouse. You can use a piece of gourd and some twine and wiring to create a pearshaped birdhouse. Paint it to
make it stand out! Make sure you know how to select. Before you make that order on the large, wooden Thai cabinet, there are a few things to consider first. You should first learn how to choose the right home decor for you mom. You may ask your mom what she likes to do on her spare time in the home these days, or you may simply observe the changes done to her home.
Personality
Think about your mom's personality, and how that might go well with certain gift ideas for this coming Mother's Day. Does mom have an eclectic taste? Is she super-practical? Is she laid back or does she live an extremely active and modern lifestyle? These questions can help you decide on the best gift ideas when it comes to home decor.

Or, you may simply desire to spend some time with your mother. Why don't you take her to a nice, cozy place where you both can simply chat, and bring in a food gift basket filled with her favorite food, or food you prepared using her recipes! And don't forget to tuck in an extra blanket for her to wrap her around with if ever she gets cold, or an extra pillow to make her extra comfortable wherever she'll be seated. Whatever thoughts you have for Mother's Day, the gift basket should be a vital part of it. Make your mother's most recent memory of you and her to be a wonderful and of lasting impression. At least, she'll think that once you let her feel that you unconditionally gave her a basket of pie.

DunkIRk DISPLAyS ELITE TALEnT In ITS OWn InVITATIOnAL By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
The Dunkirk High School track was surrounded by tents and littered with athletes and spectators as 18 teams converged for the Dunkirk Invitational, Friday afternoon. The meet was shortened due to cold, wet, windy weather, but some impressive times, distances and heights were still turned in. According to Dunkirk head coach Kurt Warmbrodt, he usually tries to keep the meet under 16 teams, but Westfield and Silver Creek both called late and he couldn’t turn down more competition. While there were some outstanding performances by many Chautauqua County athletes, it was the Dunkirk boys team that really turned some heads. Dunkirk sophomore Jose Morales raced to a first-place finish in the 100-meter dash with a time 11.42 seconds. He held off teammate Nick Barlette, who finished third (11.53 seconds) and Frontier’s Adrian Cannon (11.44). Jamestown’s Izaila Rahim placed eighth, which is good enough to earn a point in a meet of this size. Despite the less-thanideal jumping conditions, Dunkirk’s Rashad Graham was able to clear 5-feet,

8-inches in the high jump to take first place. Teammate Victor Echevarria and Fredonia’s Dylan Meyer tied for fourth with a height of 5-4. Graham also placed fi fth in the long jump with a leap of 18-3.75. The event was won by St. Francis’ Nathan Gora, who leapt 19-5.5. Gowanda’s Brennan Geiger was second (18-10.25). Dunkirk earned yet another first-place finish when the team of Miguel Alicia, Jose Morales, Rashad Graham and Nick Barlette held off Iroquois in the 4x100 meter relay. The Marauders crossed in 45.39 seconds while Iroquois was second at 46.66. Another Dunkirk relay team, this time Javier Soto, Ray Tarnowski, Alec Tomaszewski and Ethan Francis, raced its way to a

third place (8:46.29) in the 4x800 meter relay. East Aurora (8:21.88) and Sweet Home (8:27.99) took first and second, respectively. Jamestown’s Christian Edborg held on for a sixth-place finish in the 3,000-meter steeplechase. The event featured 18 runners and was made even more difficult than usual from the rain. Orchard Park’s Matt Mercer (10:01.6) turned in an exceptional time to claim first place in the event. In the 110-meter high hurdles, it was Silver Creek junior Caleb Makuch placing second with a time of 17.58 seconds. He was just a fraction of a second behind Iroquois’ Austin Valvo, who won the event in 17.44 seconds. The girls’ meet also saw some impressive perfor-
mances from local athletes. Fredonia senior Devin Kowalewski won the 100-meter hurdles by a comfortable margin with her time of 16.47 seconds. Iroquois’ Madison Roberts was second in 17.03 seconds. Dunkirk’s Savia Moreland (17.99) and Silver Creek’s Emily Harford (18.09) were sixth and seventh, respectively. In the girls’ 100-meter dash, Dunkirk sophomore Samiyha Toomer was right there with the upperclassmen and claimed fourth place in 13.16 seconds. Frontier’s McKyla Brooks won in 12.67 seconds. Westfield freshman Maddison Knap (14.03) and Fredonia freshman Deidra Osula (14.21) were also solid in seventh and ninth, respectively. Continued on PG 28

Unfortusurprisingly well. We nately, my golfing sense only got through five failed me and I forgot holes, so it’s relatively that there would be hard to judge my score a league teeing off at on sheer numbers, but I 5:00. That gave us an played bogey golf – five hour and a half.
D i a ry over through five holes. That’s pretty solid for me even mid-season. No. 3, however, was not a hole that I played well on. Of course I sliced the dickens out of my drive and ended up on No. 2’s fairway. I’ve yet to hit the right fairway in three tries on this hole this year. For you math nuts out there, 0-for-3 is not a very good percentage. IMPORTANT NOTE: If you’re struggling with the slice, move the ball back in your stance about six inches. It feels wrong, but if you’re teeing off with the ball up near your front foot, you’re going to put the spin on the ball that will cause it to slice. I’ve found that the best place for the ball is between the middle of your stance and your left hip (for a right-handed golfer). Yet for some reason Bryan, who generally struggles off the tee, has been golden on this hole. He once again drove a beauty right up the gut. I’m not sure how he does it on just No. 3, but he’s been in the zone there. As for Mark, it took him a couple this-is-my-first-
time-ever-playing-golf mulligans, but he got a ball playable and continued to make solid contact all day. He quickly realized how difficult it is to hit a golf ball straight, but he had no trouble putting the club on the ball. I’ve certainly seen some new golfers that couldn’t even master that seemingly simple task. None of us finished particularly well on No. 3, but all of us played far better on No. 4, the first par 3 on the course. All three of our shots off the tee ended up a little bit to the right, but with good distance. The wind was blowing pretty strong from left to right, but for some reason none of us accounted for it. But that said, when all of the balls are just off the green to the right, that’s pretty good. I had a nice chip and a putt for par. Unfortunately Mark and Bryan both suffered from the downhill slope and their balls rolled to the front of the green, but a 3 and a pair of 5’s on the scorecard is much better than the ugliness of the first hole. Mark looked like a seasoned vet on his third career hole. He hit a
FIVE HOLES ARE ALWAyS bETTER THAn nOnE nice drive that tailed just a little bit right, but then smashed his second shot perfectly on line just short of the green. A chip and two putts and he had his first career bogey. He actually won the hole when I lipped out my bogey putt. I’ve said it before and I’ll continue to say it: I love No. 6 at Pinehurst. From the white tees it’s about 500 yards. From the blue tees it’s nearly 575. Yes, it’s intimidating from the tee box, but as long as you don’t try to kill the ball and just continue to make good, straight shots it’s not a difficult hole. In fact, when I sank my par putt it marked just one-over par on three combined times playing that hole this year. I also played it well last year. Of course, this time No 6 was saved by one of the better shots of my life. My second shot was a 3-hybrid from the fairway that tailed underneath the trees at the bottom of the hill. So I had to hit through/ around trees and onto the sliver of green I could see. Not only did I do just that, but I got a nice bounce that took the ball even closer to the pin.
My birdie putt went just a little to the right, but left me with a tap-in par, my favorite kind of par. No. 7 is also a fantastic hole. It’s a par 3 over a pond. In the warmer weather ahead you’ll be able to see all kinds of wildlife in the pond, but aside from a couple fish, everything is still hunkered down. It was nearly unbelievable how similar of a shot I hit this time as the last time I played the hole. I would have sworn it was on the same blade of grass. The result: exactly the same. I didn’t hit a great chip and had to two-putt for bogey. There was a pair of league golfers already on the tee box of No. 8, so we decided to call it quits, but it was a great day of golf, however short. There was a movement I read about called “Play Nine” where golfers were encouraged to play 9 holes if they didn’t have time for 18. I think it was a movement to encourage more recreational golf as the sport is suffering. Play Nine is fine, but I say play five if that’s all you can do. Golf is great. Go get yourself some.

So when I discovered Trieste on The Dice Tower’s list of Top 3-Player Games, I needed to get my hands on a copy. Was it worth it? Let’s take a look.
merchant and thief. The resolving of those cards is obviously where the game gets fun. The city watch has a lot of cards that arrest revealed thief cards. If one is played, the thief card is arrested and its effect is negated. If the city watch gets seven thieves in prison, he or she wins the game. The merchant is all about money. Many of its action cards allow the player to draw more treasure cards. If the merchant ever gets a total of 11 treasure (plus the combined level of thieves in the prison) in his or her hand, they win the game. The thief has a separate pile of victory condition cards called Infamy points. The thieves’ goal is to get nine Infamy points. The player takes one of those each time a thief character’s ability is activated. This sounds easy, but the city watch is arresting thieves and the merchant is trying to protect their money from the thieves. Plus the city watch has a number of cards that discard Infamy points. Play continues until one of the players reaches
their win condition. In just a handful of games, we’ve already had two players simultaneously reach their win conditions. If that happens, the city watch would win first, followed by the merchant and fi nally the thieves. I’m not sure if that’s a common occurrence or a fluke, but it sure was frustrating for the merchant who got the gold but still lost.
OVERVIEW
There are plenty of things that make Trieste an attractive option for games. First off, it’s affordable. Victory Point Games seems to have a nice balance on where to spend resources. No, the box isn’t that important to me. I’d much rather have highquality components and a solid game. Secondly, the artwork (by Clark Miller) is very nice. The artwork fits the theme and helps the players get into their roles that much more. I also love the sheer idea of a three-player-only game. Like I mentioned earlier, it’s so hard to know what to pull off the shelf with three players, but Trieste gives me a
solid option every time. The only negative thing I can say about the game is that the basic game seems unbalanced after a couple plays. You play without the “Hero” cards in the basic game and it truly seemed like the thieves had no chance of winning. Then we added the Heroes and the thieves immediately won the first game. Now obviously there’s a lot of luck in what you draw and when you play cards compared to what other people play, but the Heroes certainly helped balance the power.
TO buy OR nOT TO buy
Honestly, the game is so affordable there’s not much risk involved if you wanted to give it a try. I’m hesitant to say it’s a game for everyone, but it’ll hit my table fairly often when I have three players. The real thing to consider is whether you have a need for a three-player game. If you do, pick up Trieste. It’s easy to teach and learn, though I recommend giving newer players either the merchants or the city watch. The thieves are a little harder to play.

COMMEnTARy, COnTInuED FROM PAgE 25 Okay. No big deal, right? Well, Escobar contended that the count was actually 4-2 and he should have been awarded a walk. The umpires went to the instant replay system. Fans watching at home could clearly see that Escobar was right. It should have been a no-brainer for the umps on the other side of those phones. The umps took off the headsets and still called Escobar out. WHAT? Since when can a player be called out with a 4-2 count? I thought instant replay was supposed to fi x these types of human errors. Well, if anything positive came out of the whole Escobar ordeal, it’s that you get to read my obligatory instant replay commentary (sound the trumpets here). Honestly, I was against instant replay when I first heard about it. I’ve always liked the human element that the umpires bring. To be frank, they’re darn good at their jobs, too. If you watched one of those bang-bang plays at first base in real time, there’s almost no
way you could tell what happened. But these guys are always in the right spot and I would say get the call right 90 percent of the time. That other 10 percent is a problem, you say? Yeah, maybe if it always went against your favorite team. But some calls will go for you and some will go against you. It’s a long season and these things have a way of balancing out. Also, baseball is already a very long game. Major League Baseball likes to hype up the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry as mustsee TV, but how many people can sit and watch another 4.5-hour long baseball game with a dozen pitching changes? It seems like MLB should be trying to speed up games, not make them longer. Though after seeing it in action (with the Escobar disaster being an outlier), I’m much more neutral towards instant replay. It really doesn’t take all that long in the grand scheme of things. There are trained umpires on the other end that have lots of camera angles and slow motion replays to make sure the call is right. After,
what, 90 seconds or so, the call is right one way or the other. It’s easy to think back and wonder what might have happened to a guy like Armando Galarraga, who as you might remember was robbed of a perfect game by a blatantly missed call on what would have been the 27th out at first base. Jim Joyce, the umpire who missed the call (but is one of the best in the game), felt horrible for his mistake. He knows he robbed this young player of immortality. Galarraga, now 32 years old, hasn’t pitched in the Majors either of the last two seasons. Would he still be in the league if he had completed what should have been a perfect game? Or how about that Pirates-Braves game three years ago? If you don’t remember, the Pirates were rolling midseason and on the verge of fi nally breaking the consecutive losing seasons streak. The teams were tied in the 19th inning when the Braves hit a ground ball to third base, Pedro Alvarez threw home to nail the runner at the plate and most likely send the game to the 20th
inning. The runner was tagged about four or five steps up the third base line, knew he was out and started walking back to the dugout. On his way, he happened to step on home plate and was called safe. As a Pirates fan, I nearly blew my top. Replays showed over and over that the Pirates catcher had indeed tagged the runner. The Pirates then continued to fall apart over the second half of the season. Were they simply demoralized from a horrific call that would have been overturned had there been replay? Maybe. Instant replay wasn’t put in place to show up umpires or even second-guess everyday plays. Unfortunately, it’s being used far more often than anyone anticipated. I believe it was put in play to avoid those season-defi ning close plays either down the stretch or in the postseason. Again, I’m more neutral to instant replay than anything. I can’t really take a strong stance either way because I do think it’s wise to avoid those crushing blown calls, but I still have a number of problems with
the system. First off, just make everything reviewable. I was watching a game the other day when a ground ball jumped over the third base bag and into foul territory. It did, in fact, go right over the bag and was ruled a fair ball. The right call was made, but the third baseman argued and argued until his coach came out. Well, come to fi nd out, that play isn’t reviewable. Why? I have no idea. Yes, the coach would have lost the challenge, but he should at least have the option to challenge. My other main problem with it is we don’t see managers fly off the handle any more. Gone are the days of Bobby Cox or Sweet Lou Piniella running out of the dugout yelling profanities and turning red in the face. Gone are the days of Lloyd McClendon picking up first base and taking it into the dugout with him. Now these guys slowly (emphasis on slowly) walk out to the umpire and make small talk until their bench coach gets the word from upstairs whether they should challenge or not.
It’s all just so passive. Umpires and coaches are supposed to clash. That’s baseball. Even non-baseball fans can be entertained by a coach kicking dirt at an umpire or burying home plate. I’m not even sure how to fi x this issue. It seems like as long as instant replay is in effect, coaches have no reason to go crazy. It’s sad, really. So there’s the instant replay rant you’ve all been waiting for. I apologize if it’s all over the place, but I really can’t decide whether I’m pro- or anti-replay. Do you have thoughts on instant replay? I’d love to hear them. Send me an email to stefan. gestwicki@star-mediagroup.com.

five Questions about sterling’s Ban from nBa
Contributed Article Associated Press
National Basketball Association Commissioner Adam Silver surprised many on Tuesday when he announced that Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling was banned from the league for life and that Silver would take steps to force him to sell the team after an audio recording surfaced of the owner making racist statements. Sterling was also fined $2.5 million, the maximum allowable under the NBA's constitution, and the swift punishment was hailed by players, owners and coaches across the league. Silver's action against Sterling is among the stiffest rebukes ever given to the owner of a professional sports team. Here are five questions and answers about the situation.

A: TMZ released an audio recording last weekend of Sterling talking to a female companion. In the recording, Sterling questions her association with minorities, including Hall of Fame basketball player Magic Johnson. ''Why are you taking pictures with minorities? Why?'' Sterling asks the woman, V. Stiviano, who is of black and Mexican descent. Sterling also tells Stiviano, ''don't bring black people'' to Clippers games.

they were pulling their advertising from Clippers games in the wake of the comments.

A: Silver said it was too soon to tell if the corporate partners who pulled their advertisements would change course. But in taking such bold steps, Silver said it was his intention to send a strong message that racist views and language would not be tolerated. ''I'm outraged, so I certainly understand other people's outrage, and this will take some time, and appropriate healing will be necessary,'' Silver said. ''I can understand precisely why, whether they be people affiliated with the NBA or the Clippers for a long time or those corporate partners. I can understand how upset they are, and I'll do my best to bring them back into the NBA family.''
A: The NBA's constitution states that any owner can be forced out of the league with the vote of 75 percent of the remaining owners. That means if all 30 of the league's owners vote, 23 will have to vote in favor of his ouster. Owners of several teams, including the Minnesota Timberwolves and Milwaukee Bucks, issued statements in support of Silver's decision and said they would vote to remove Sterling if proceedings get to that

No NASCAR Penalty Needed For Va. Scrap
By Jenna Fryer AP Auto Racing Writer
Quick quiz: Who won the 1979 Daytona 500? The answer, of course, is Richard Petty. But very few people - if any - equate that race with ''The King'' grabbing the sixth of his seven Daytona 500 victories. That race is instead infamous for the last-lap crash between Donnie Allison and Cale Yarborough as they raced for the lead. The crash sparked a three-man fight after Allison's brother, Bobby, pulled up to the accident scene. The brawl in the closing moments of the first race to be broadcast live in its entirety was a monumental moment for NASCAR, and the lasting image as the traditionally Southern sport officially announced its arrival on the national scene. Fast forward 35 years later to Saturday night at Richmond International Raceway, where tempers flared after the race. It seemed much ado about nothing when Brad Keselowski stomped down pit road to angrily
wag his finger at Matt Kenseth in a scene that was just enough to keep viewers from changing the channel, but not enough to generate any real excitement. Then things got really interesting. An overhead camera happened to catch Casey Mears confronting Marcos Ambrose in the garage. About? Who knows. The two were racing each other for 18th place and Fox hardly had its cameras tuned to that battle. But something happened between the two to get Mears upset, and his anger only grew as Ambrose seemed to dismiss him and turn away. So Mears grabbed the Australian, shoved him a bit and Ambrose responded with a right hook to Mears' eye. It was hard enough to draw blood and knock Mears' hat from atop his head. NASCAR is reviewing the incident and considering whether to discipline either of the drivers in its Tuesday penalty notices. If the sanctioning body is smart, it will close the file and move on to
way into promotional materials for the tracks and NASCAR itself. Taking that into account, Mears can't be punished for confronting Ambrose after the race. Something happened on the track that infuriated him enough to seek out Ambrose. That conversation happened to take place in the garage, NASCAR's version of the office place, and it happened in a flurry of frenetic, post-race activity.

himself? For reacting in a heated moment? Absolutely not. It wasn't a sucker punch, it didn't put any crew members or fans in danger, and Mears himself seemed to take it in stride. The morning after he was punched, Mears ran in Jimmie Johnson's charity race and acknowledged Ambrose ''got me pretty good with that shot'' in an interview with NASCAR.com. ''Out of all the NASCAR fights or punches or when you see people swinging, usually it's a lot of flyswatting. He actually connected so that was pretty good,'' Mears said. ''Everybody gets mad after those races when everybody is trying so hard. It's a passionate sport, obviously. It's tough when you first get out of the car, when you don't have a good chance to cool off, it escalates pretty quick.'' Indeed, the culture of short-track racing is an expectation of post-race fireworks. Unless NASCAR wants to remove that element and expectation, it should leave Ambrose and Mears alone.
