The Grape Discovery Center in Westfield will host a recruiting and orientation session for new and experienced volunteers next week for individuals interested in being trained to help assist a not-for-profit organization that helps bring attention to Chautauqua County. Scheduled to take place on Wednesday, May 14, and starting at 6 p.m., the evening will bring more awareness to The Grape Discovery Center as a community-wide effort continues to focus on ways to better promote economic and educational development related to the grape industry and highlight the Concord Grape Belt region. Volunteers who attend the session and are trained will eventually serve in a wide variety of ways that will prove to be beneficial to the Grape Discovery Center and the Chautauqua County region. “We have many volunteers and would like to expand our ‘family’ of volunteers,” said Mackenzie Cady, who serves as manager of the
Grape Discovery Center. “Volunteers greet visitors and answer questions about the region. They can work in the gift shop, pour wine for guest tastings, give educational tours, assist in custodial work and much more. Some people volunteer for part of a day, a day, weekly or even monthly. They all contribute to the recognition and promotion of the region.” The recruiting and orientation session will run for approximately two hours, with pizza and other snacks being provided to all attendees. The session will include discussions highlighting the background of the Grape Discovery Center, hospitality training, the role of heritage and experiential
tourism, as well as networking with other volunteers. The Grape Discovery Center officially opened on Memorial Day 2013 after years of anticipation. The Concord Grape Belt Heritage Association worked in phases of construction to completely renovate a former car dealership into an agri-tourism center to promote the region. The Grape Discovery Center held its grand opening last September with the revealing of the Exhibit Room, which allows visitors to learn through experience by seeing, smelling and touching different learning tools. With our region becoming known as “America’s Grape Country,” it is part
of the area’s vision that The Grape Discovery Center serves as a unique destination for those seeking more information about the grape and wine industries. In addition, the facility is visited by local residents, school groups, civic organizations and other types of clubs. Tourists in Chautauqua County’s wine region are targeted during June, July and August since that threemonth span is typically the busiest time for visitors to come to town and learn about how the area is an agri-tourism destination. There are many benefits that can be enjoyed from serving as a volunteer. While practically everyone in this day and age has Continued on PG 16

They may remember the occasional frustration, but they’ll more strongly remember your sweet laugh that overcame it. On this Mother’s Day, my darling, remember – God made you a woman, and He called you to be a Mother. You fit the bill, you pass the test, you hit the bulls-eye and you surpass the expectation.

Fenton History Center announces 50th anniversary Gala, may 22
By Deb Everts Contributing Writer
The Fenton History Center invites the public to attend its 50th Anniversary Gala on May 22, from 6-9 p.m., at the Dr. Lillian Ney Renaissance Center on W. Third St. This momentous event will be celebrated in an evening featuring a “Taste of ‘63’ Gala” fi lled with music, fun and memories from the history center’s past 50 years — focusing on the society’s initial year of 1963. “This is going to be a great evening for Jamestown,” said Richard Lundquist, Fenton History Center board of trustees’ president. “Past Trustees, members and friends of the Fenton History Center are welcome to come and enjoy each other’s company, see the center’s accomplishments and be part of the Fenton’s future.” Lundquist said they are very excited to bring Professor Richard Aquila to Jamestown to speak. His topic for the evening will be “The Night Has a Thousand Eyes: Memories of 1963 through Rock & Roll.’” Aquila, a professor of history and the former Director of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at Penn State UniversityErie, specializes in U.S. social and cultural history, particularly the American West, American Indians, popular culture, and recent America. His publications include numerous articles and five books: The Iroquois Restoration; That Old Time Rock & Roll; Wanted Dead or Alive: the American West in Popular Culture; Home Front Soldier: The Story of a G.I. and His Italian American Family During World War II; and The Sagebrush Trail: A Cultural History of Western Movies in the 20th

Century (forthcoming). Aquila has also written and hosted numerous documentaries on public radio. His weekly radio show, Rock & Roll America, was syndicated on NPR and NPR Worldwide. He recently completed a book manuscript entitled American Beat: The Story of Rock & Roll’s Birth. Joni Blackman, director of the Fenton History Center, said it’s a huge responsibility to plan a 50th anniversary celebration such as this. A lot of people have put their time into the society and some have also devoted many, many years to it. She said they want to have a celebration that really remembers those people and pays honor to them, while also recognizing the future as important. Most of these people are volunteers and many have passed on, so a lot of the celebration will include remembering their work with a special exhibit at the Renaissance Center during the celebration. “We’re trying to make the event fun, as well as reverent,” she said. “That’s why we’re also celebrating the music of the 60s, especially 1963. Most of the
people coming to the gala will have their own reference for that time period because they were around in 1963.” Blackman said the gala is open to anyone who’s interested in Jamestown’s history. Thecost for the event, which includes a buffet dinner and music is $35 per person. Anyone planning to attend should R.S.V.P. by May 20 by calling (716) 664-6256 to make reservations. The mansion housing the center was built in 1863 and was the home of Reuben E. Fenton, who made his fortune in the lumbering business. He was Governor of New York State from 186569, and also served in the U.S. Congress (1853-64) and the U.S. Senate (1869-75). He was also one of the founders of the Republican Party and a close political associate of Abraham Lincoln. Organized in March 1963, the Fenton Historical Society was chartered on May 22, 1964. The Fenton Mansion has served as headquarters for the local history center since 1964 and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. Blackman said they are currently in the process of revamping the entrance to the museum and adding an orientation room where visitors will learn a lot more about the Fenton family and the mansion. The staff is working on something special to highlight the Fenton family, the mansion and Jamestown’s history, which is expected to be completed by June 1. The Fenton History Center is located at 67 Washington St., in Jamestown. For additional information about the Fenton History Center, admission fees and memberships, call (716) 664-6256, email information@ fentonhistorycenter.org or visit online at fentonhistorycenter.org.

Ways to celebrate mom
By Katy Wise
Contributing Writer
Don't forget this could also be for dinner, or both! One way to bless a mom is to take some of her responsibilities away, one of which is cooking. And just like the idea of taking her out for breakfast as previously mentioned, lunch or dinner out also mean no clean up afterwards.
3. Clean.
Offer to help clean the house for a day, maybe helping with a project that she hasn't been able to accomplish on her own. Help her out by dusting or vacuuming or if you're feeling extra ambitious, you might consider scrubbing the kitchen floor

for her. If you're not the best at cleaning, you could also arrange for someone to come clean for her or buy a gift certificate from a cleaning service.
6. Pampering.
4. Flowers.
7. Tell her 'thank you.'
This is a gift that you can never go wrong with. Some colorful flowers to dress up the dining room table are sure to make her day. Or maybe some perennials or a tree from a local greenhouse that can be planted to remind her of this Mother's Day for years to come.
Everyone could use some pampering once in awhile, especially the ones who are so good at pampering others. Manicures, pedicures, a massage or a haircut would make any woman feel appreciated and cared for.
Although this one does not require any money, it is by far the most important. Whatever you do to celebrate the mom in your life on this Mother's Day, make sure you tell her thank you for everything she has done. That is the reason for this very holiday, after all. Thank you for reading, and a very happy Mother's Day to all the fellow mommies out there! 5. Her favorites. Whether it's her favor- Whether this is your ite flower, soap, candy, first Mother's Day or or perfume, the thought your fi ftieth, we hope that you have a blessed that you listened and took notice of what she day to remember with likes the best will mean your family, and thank you for being a Mom! a lot to her.

Trains today are still alive and well, and play an active role in the transportation of goods, and people, across this great nation. In its heyday, Jamestown and Chautauqua County were central for the lines traveling to and from Chicago, Pittsburgh, Buffalo and New York. In a true celebration of history, this year will be the third year that the Jamestown Gateway Train Station hosts “National Train Day” in honor of the significant role the station, and the city, played in the past. The festivities will begin at 10 a.m. on Saturday, May 10. “We’re excited for this year’s National Train Day,” said Lee Harkness, general manager of the station. “We’ve got a lot of great things that will be going on, and some new events for this year as well. Folks from the area really seem to get excited about National Train Day.” National Train Day, which was started by Amtrak in 2008, is celebrating its seventh year nationwide. According to their website, “Train enthusiasts and supporters around the nation celebrate National Train Day each year at hundreds of locations across the country.” The main goal of train day is to bring the public information about the benefits, and wealth
Celebrating History
NATIONAL TRAIN DAY COMES TO JAMESTOWN THIS SATURDAY
of history, behind rail travel in the United States. With the renovations and subsequent grand reopening of the Jamestown-Erie station, it was fitting that Jamestown once again bridge the gap between Pittsburgh, Pa. and Depew, the two closest formally recognized celebrations. Marking Jamestown’s celebration this year are some of the fun things that folks are used to; train displays and exhibits, an open house of the newly renovated station, and toy train setups. Increasing this year will be the toy train sales booths, something that local businessman Russ Bova is particularly excited about.
“We had a great day last year at the train show,” said Bova, who owns Bova’s Music and Train Shoppe in Westfield. “We’re bringing even more product this year, because people wiped us out before.” According to Bova, National Train Day envies some of his sale days at the bigger regional shows, and this year promises to be no different. “We’re expecting a few thousand people for sure,” said Harkness. “It’s grown every year, and this year we’ve expanded the event to include more for people to do, so I’m sure we’ll get a bigger turnout.” Some new events this year will include the
antique trolley #93 on display, a renovated original Jamestown trolley car sponsored by Jamestown resident Bob Johnston and engines and cars that will be making their rounds through the station all day long. “We’ll have some coming in and going during the whole event so people can see different engines and cars,” said Harkness. “There’s only one track that runs behind the station, so we have to do it one at a time, but it gives folks something new to see each time.” Also on the agenda for this year is railroad author Ken Springirth, who recently published a book called “Jamestown
to Buffalo by Trolley,” which details the fact that, if one wanted to, “you could spend the whole day on a trolley to get around the region,” said Springirth. Springirth dedicated the book to Harkness and Johnston, in honor of the work they’ve done for the area, and will be hosting a book signing as well. Lastly, there will be a special contest at the event for anyone interested in participating and truly becoming a

part of history. For folks who show up in ‘turnof-the-century’ attire, or clothes specialized to the late 1800s and early 1900s, the best outfit wins a prize. For more information on National Train Day, or to make reservations for the special cocktail and dinner train, visit www.jamestowntrainstation.com or call 716-483-3041. Head out to Jamestown on Saturday, May 10 to celebrate, and become, a part of history.

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.

They got married and together raised their family of three boys, John, Robert Jr. and David. Patricia earned a GED in 1974. John attended JHS and then joined the U.S. Marine Corp, where he earned GED in 1984. Robert Jr. graduated from JHS Class of 1977, and joined the U.S. Air Force.

“This is an awesome experience for me, and the Board, to present Mr. Treharne with his honorary diploma because as a veteran, he sacrificed and gave his service to his country but still was able to be a successful person,” said JPS Board of Education President Joe DiMaio. “I feel giving Mr. Treharne his high school diploma is the least we can do and it is even more special to me as one veteran to another.” His family was also moved by the recognition. “We are extremely grateful and thankful to the Jamestown Public Schools for presenting our father with his high school diploma and providing such a meaningful and dignified Commencement Ceremony,” said his son, David Treharne. “It is important for our family because my dad deserves to be recognized for his contributions to our family and all the people he has impacted throughout his lifetime. He was a Boy Scout Leader, Little League Baseball Coach, Midget
Football Coach, Labor Union Representative, and although he never made a lot of money, he always put his family’s needs fi rst. We are so very pleased that the District demonstrated that it cares for the elderly community by taking great care and attention to detail in preparation for this event. Also, by allowing this event to happen, and spreading public awareness for Operation Recognition, this opens the doors for other men and women who left high school to serve in the armed forces and who are eligible to receive their high school diploma. Our dad is the fi rst person to receive his diploma through Operation Recognition, from the Jamestown Public Schools. He is a pioneer and a ground breaker.” For additional information on Operation Recognition, please contact: The NYS Education Department (518) 474-8940 or go to their website at http://www.acces. nysed.gov/aepp/high_ school_diploma_veterans.html.

ribbon-Cutting Held For Veterans’ Lounge in Fredonia's nixon Hall
CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, MAY 9, 2014
adult and youth sailing Lessons offered
Contributed Article SUNY Fredonia
An official ribbon-cutting ceremony was held recently for a new Veterans’ Lounge, a comfortable space in Nixon Hall set aside for student veterans and dependents of military service members enrolled at SUNY Fredonia. The dedicated space for study, socializing and programming events was established to better assist a growing number of student veterans, service members and their families in the transition from military to college life, according to Benjamin Hartung, Veterans Affairs administrator at SUNY Fredonia. SUNY Fredonia President Virginia Horvath said the lounge is reflective of the campus commitment to provide a welcoming and inclusive environment for service members by providing a dedicated space for them to connect with each other and to study. “The creation of lounge is a direct response to the numerous requests over the past several years from our students and was accomplished with the outstanding support and donations by various sources throughout our campus community,” Hartung added. It is also consistent with SUNY Fredonia’s designation as a “Military Friendly School” by Victory Media, a media entity for military personnel transitioning into civilian life. “Since the creation of the Post 911 GI Bill in 2009, the number of students assisted through the SUNY Fredonia VA Office has nearly doubled and now averages around 75 students per semester, so there has been a demonstrated growing need for a dedicated space for these

students,” Hartung explained. “We saw this as an opportunity to better serve our veterans and as a way to honor their service to the country.” The Nixon Hall space, which formerly housed ResNet and the VA office, was chosen due to accessibility, convenience and availability. ResNet and VA offices were relocated last fall into larger spaces at 154 McGinnies Hall. The 400-square-foot lounge is comprised of a main room, furnished with cushion chairs, end tables, a large HD television and wall-mounted rack stocked with VA brochures; a study room, equipped with a computer and printer; and meeting area that features a microwave, refrigerator, a table and chairs. A dark-blue area rug containing the emblems of the five military branches highlights the main room. “We had some input from veterans about what they would like to see in the lounge, such as a television, a computer and printer, and wireless access,” Hartung said. Hung in the main room are
framed vintage military posters, including James Montgomery Flagg’s best-known work – the 1917 Uncle Sam recruitment poster – and Joe Rosenthal’s iconic Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima photograph. Hartung said reaction to the new lounge has been very positive. “It’s one of those things that people enjoy having their own personal space.” Open seven days a week, 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., the lounge is available to current student veterans, service members and children of veterans who receive educational entitlements based on a parent’s military service. “The new Veterans Lounge builds upon our campus tradition and commitment of providing outstanding transition assistance programming for our students," Hartung added. "The university has been very dedicated and conscientious in taking care of these special students — many of whom have returned from the front lines of Afghanistan and Iraq, and who truly help make our campus a special place."

they should have sought out character. You are gambling away your ability to be sharp. Being offended at people who are walking close to God is not going to sharpen you. Offense will only make you dull. A person who desires correction at the hands of a godly man or woman is a person who will walk in the power of God. Criticizing and making fun of someone with a desire to please God will only hinder you from "cutting" through that next trial. If you do not have someone in your life more spiritual than you then you are at risk. When you get sharpened with the things of godly character, that's when you're going to step into the plan of God for your life. That's when you're going to experience the hand of God on your children, fi nances, and marriage. When you are sharp is when you're going to recognize the leading of God and have the strength to live apart from the same old depressing life. Make an honest appraisal of your closest associations. Do you want their present to be your future?

For today's woman 21
the Long distance mother’s day
By Dodi Kingsfield Contributing Writer
For much of my adult life, I have lived more than one hundred miles away from my mother which has necessitated celebrating many family holidays long distance. The more challenging days to celebrate without being in the same location are those that honor a specific individual and you wish you could congratulate them in person such as a birthday, graduation, anniversary, or in this case, Mother’s Day. The length of the drive, vacation days from work and missed school days often added to the inability to physically see and hug my mom on Mother’s Day. I had to learn to celebrate Mother’s Day long distance with my mom and show her I loved her just as much as my brothers who lived two blocks and ten miles away, respectively. Similar to Christmastime, but without the holiday rush, doing something for Mother’s Day from far away requires advance planning, unless your plan only consists of dialing the phone to say “Happy Mother’s Day”, but a mother deserves more than just that. If sending gifts in the mail, allow at least several days for delivery on time for Mother’s Day. Online gift ordering has its conveniences, but you still need to have enough time for shipping. If your plan involves collaborating with siblings, begin planning a month or more in advance to allow for discussion and agreement among the involved family mem-
Thanking and honoring your mother on Mother’s Day from far away requires advance planning, a little (or a lot of) love and a concerted effort to acknowledge one of the most important people in our lives.
bers, depending on your family. Sending a Mother’s Day card may seem old-fashioned and tacky, but there are many card companies out there with writers that seem to perfectly capture the sentiments of today that you can’t seem to put into the right words. Mothers also love Mother’s Day cards from the grandkids, especially homemade ones. Ordering the delivery of fresh flowers, a potted plant, or other
floral arrangement can brighten up any Mother’s Day and requires calling at least a day in advance, depending on the location. Photo gifts make an excellent choice for Mother’s Day gifts and offer a multitude of options such as photo albums, coffee mugs and playing cards and even a fleece blanket with the family portrait printed on it. When choosing a gift for Mother’s Day, select a gift that means something to the receiver, not the giver. If Mom enjoys gardening, consider sending her a flowering bush, a unique wind chime or cute
handmade birdhouse for a gift. If she loves to read, get her favorite author’s newest release or a gift card to Amazon or Barnes and Nobles. Many businesses offer gift cards or certificates, so you could also consider a gift card to her favorite spa, restaurant, store or salon nearby so she can treat herself to what she wants and at her convenience. Regardless of whether you send a gift, card or both, a simple phone call to mom on Mother’s Day ranks as the number one requirement for this long distance holiday. Don’t just send her a text or an email with an impersonal e-card attached, actually pick up the phone and speak to her to wish her a Happy Mother’s Day and thank her for being your mother. A simple phone call can brighten a mother’s day and knowing that her children haven’t forgotten about her as they go about with their busy lives, particularly her children that she doesn’t get to see too often, may be all she needs. In addition to mom, don’t forget to thank grandma, your mother’s mother, on Mother’s Day for giving you your mother. She’ll enjoy hearing from her long distance grandchild on a holiday where she may not be able to celebrate with her own mother, but is a mother just the same. Simply because you can’t have your mother over for dinner doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate Mother’s Day long distance. All it takes is a little advanced planning, a greeting card with a stamp and one simple little phone call on Sunday. Happy Mother’s Day, Mom!

DON’T PAY MORE Dunkirk’s Nate Skubis takes a rip in the first inning of the Marauders’ game against rival Fredonia, Monday at Dunkirk High School. (Photo by Stefan Gestwicki)
By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
While one game was a blowout and the other was close, it was Fredonia topping rival Dunkirk in both baseball and softball on Monday afternoon. On the baseball diamond, a Dunkirk (5-6, 4-4) team starting two freshman and two eighth-graders was totally overmatched by the defending state champion Hillbillies as Fredonia (9-2, 6-0) won 21-0. Junior lefty Cam Voss tossed a one-hit shutout and was in control from his first pitch to his last. He struck
out 11 and walked a pair. The lone hit was a single off the bat of Devaun Farnham-DeJesus with one out in the fourth inning. Despite the final outcome, Dunkirk held Fredonia in check through the first few innings. Tyreek Ruiz threw the ball well and the Marauders trailed 2-0 through the first three innings. But the Fredonia bats finally woke up in the middle innings and didn’t relent. Weston Ley was a terror on Dunkirk pitching. Ley was 6 for 6 with two doubles, a triple, four runs scored and four RBI. He sprayed the ball all over the field in

having a day to remember at the plate. Mike Pucci launched a tworun home run for Fredonia in a four-run fourth inning that really opened up the game and gave Voss some breathing room. It was the first varsity home run for Pucci. Nine runs in the sixth inning all but secured the game in Fredonia’s favor and four more runs in the seventh closed out the scoring for the visitors. Cody Smith and Lucas Voss each had four hits in the game for the Hillbillies. Several miles away, the schools’ softball teams met
on Promenschenkel Field at Wright Park in Dunkirk. The field was in better condition than Dunkirk’s normal field behind the high school thanks to unfavorable weather over the past week. Fredonia (12-0, 9-0) thwarted a late Dunkirk (4-5, 4-5) comeback and hung on for a slim 7-5 win after it appeared as if the Lady Hillbillies would run away with the CCAA West I contest. The seventh inning was the epitome of high school softball for people who love rivalries, comebacks and great plays. Continued on PG 30

Not Surprisingly, MLB Full Of Surprises By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
It’s hard to even remember when the Tampa Bay Devil Rays were the laughingstock of professional sports. Now known as simply the Tampa Bay Rays, the franchise has had season after season of success. Continued on PG 25

CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, MAY 9, 2014
COMMENTARY, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 25 But that first season in which Tampa Bay burst into playoff contention was one of the biggest shocks in baseball history. I mean, this was a team that wasn’t expected to do anything despite a roster full of high draft picks. The Baltimore Orioles shocked their way to the playoffs a few years ago and the Pittsburgh Pirates followed suite last year, even taking the mighty St. Louis Cardinals to five games in the NLDS. Individual players are no exception. Guys like Bill Mueller and Freddy Sanchez have won league batting titles. Guys like Jose Bautista transform from journeyman infielders to one of the most feared sluggers in the game seemingly overnight. Pitchers like Ryan Vogelsong, a guy that had 10 career wins in six Major League seasons, can suddenly put it all together and run off 27 wins over two great seasons. You just never know in baseball. We know headed into every season that there are going to be surprises, but that
doesn’t make them any less surprising. So who has been surprising us in 2014? For better or worse, there hasn’t been a shortage of “really?” moments. It’d be impossible to start this article with anything but the Milwaukee Brewers, who at 21-11 own MLB’s best winning percentage. We could dissect their season and point out that the Brewers have only a +11 run differential and they simply don’t draw walks, but they’ve ridden a solid pitching staff and a lights out bullpen. One of the National League’s biggest individual surprises is on that same Brewers roster — closer Francisco Rodriguez. You’ll remember that Rodriguez owns the single-season save record from his time with the Angels, but then suffered through some downright miserable seasons. K-Rod, still only 32 years old, has appeared in 17 games and has yet to allow a run, earned or otherwise. He’s struck out 24 against just four walks.
Add in just seven hits allowed and Rodriguez has a nifty 0.647 WHIP. Oh, and he’s a perfect 14-for-14 in save opportunities to lead all of baseball. Somewhere Mets fans are crying themselves to sleep over what could have been. And how about those high-priced Los Angeles Dodgers roster that’s loaded with superstars. The only question is whether it’s Carl Crawford, Yasiel Puig, Andre Either, Matt Kemp, Adrian Gonzalez or Hanley Ramirez leading the offense, right? Unless you totally missed the point of this article, it’s not one of those household names, it’s miniscule second baseman Dee Gordon that’s hitting .353 with 19 stolen bases and 41 hits. If you predicted an MVP season from Gordon, you’re in the wrong profession. Any MLB team would hire you as a scout on the spot. Staying in the same state, but moving down to the Bay area, there’s been a mammoth surprise season taking place in Oakland. I wrote that the Athlet-
ics would struggle to replace Bartolo Colon’s innings and production after the hefty pitcher went to New York. Guess who took his place? Obviously it’s long-time middle reliever and journeyman Jesse Chavez. Chavez is currently 2-0 with a 1.89 ERA with 40 strikeouts a .199 opponent’s BA against in six starts. Admittedly that’s a small sample size, but I remember when this guy broke into the league with the Pirates as a reliever and I thought I was watching the next great closer for sure. Naturally, the Buccos traded him away, but here he is all these years later and he’s terrorizing A.L. hitters. Over in the American League, Chavez’s equivalent is Cincinnati Reds reliever-turnedstarter Alfredo Simon. Simon is sitting at a stellar 4-1 record with a sparkling 1.99 ERA in six starts. The peripherals aren’t great — 22 strikeouts and 12 walks in 40.2 innings — the last time I checked those stats don’t count in the standings.
Of course, not all surprises are good surprises. On the other end of the spectrum you have the Pirates, a playoff team and America’s darlings last season, but struggling with a 12-19 record early this year. The bullpen has still been very good even with closer Jason Grilli on the DL, but the starters have struggled and the offense is whiffing at an alarming rate. Perhaps the Pirates management should have made some moves in the offseason. Just a thought. As bad as the Pirates have been playing, Arizona Diamondbacks fans would love to be in their position. The D’Backs are a miserable 11-23 and already 10.5 games back in the N.L. West. That record includes an almost incomprehensible 3-15 record at home. Four games behind the Padres is never a position a team wants to be in. This is a team that had hopes of dethroning the Dodgers and chasing a division title after adding Mark Trumbo in the offseason. Yes it’s already been a
crazy first couple weeks of the season. As of Monday, every team in the N.L. East was over .500, including the Marlins and the Mets — teams that were expected to be buried in the standings. The Colorado Rockies are performing well and sport an impressive 1914 record. Even the Astros (10-21) have already won 10 games. Personally I thought they’d be in single digits until August. If this is what MLB has given us over the season’s first month, fans can’t help but be excited for the wild ride that’s sure to follow in the coming months. I know I am.

D i a ry throughout the day actually. In fact, it’s been a problem for me this season and I don’t really remember struggling with that at all. More experienced golfers: Could this just be a result of the softer ground that I’m hitting off of? I’m not exactly taking divots, just hitting a lot of fat shots that don’t go very far. Inspirational quote of the round: “You can tell a lot about a man by the size of his divot.” I mentioned last week that we skipped Nos. 1 & 2 last time we played because there were a couple groups on the first tee box, but No. 2 went right back to giving me all kinds of headaches this time around. As always, I hit a decent drive up the right side of the fairway. But then I just couldn’t put the ball on the green. And if you’ve ever played the hole, you’ll know even once you’re on the green you have your work cut out for you. It was my worst hole of the day for sure and I mercifully ended
it with a triple bogey putt. Ouch. No. 2 for Bryan though sparked a nice run of 5’s on the scorecard for him. Yes, that includes the par 3, but after that first hole that he struggled badly with, he didn’t do worse than double-bogey on any hole thereafter. He left some room for improvement for sure, but he also shot by far his best round of the early season with a 50. And that includes a double bogey on No. 9. He was kicking himself after that one because he could have easily cracked that 50 barrier with a better showing on No. 9. As you’d expect for a new golfer, Mark had his ups and downs. I kept telling him after every good shot that he should just focus on those. When you’re done playing, if you just think about those good (or even great) shots that you made and put the bad ones out of your mind, you’ll be that much more confident the next time you

CONCENTRATE ON THE GOOD SHOTS the ball. It’s not an easy thing to correct because it feels unnatural, but you’ll be happy with the results. My best hole was the second par 3, No. 6. I picked out and put back three different clubs before I decided on one. I came up a little short of the green with my tee shot, but chipped and putted for par with no problem. I did hit a second shot with the club I first chose and landed on the green and two putted for par. So it didn’t make a whole lot of different except that I got to at least attempt a birdie putt. As always, golf is a great game. Go get yourself some.

play. His best hole was probably No. 4, the first par 3. I remember two years ago when I first started playing the par 3’s gave me nightmares. I simply couldn’t hit an iron out of the tee box. But Mark looked like a natural with a 7-iron (I think) and put his ball within spitting distance of the green, actually nearly on top of where my ball landed just to the right of the green. I actually didn’t even add up Mark’s score. That’s not what new golfers should worry about. They should worry about finding a comfortable swing and making consistent solid contact with each club in their bag.

Striders Summer Track & Field Development Begins June 9
Contributed Article Chautauqua Striders
In 2014, Chautauqua Striders is celebrating 35 years of youth development in Chautauqua County. As it was first known, the Chadakoin Valley Athletic Club provided a constructive outlet for youth on Jamestown's north side. The organization’s co-founders, Ron Graham and Daniel Feather, served not only as coaches, but as mentors for the young athletes. Track and field practices were held at Washington Middle School, and it was not long before participants were receiving national recognition. The need for a better practice facility and location to host local track & field meets led to the construction of Strider Field in 1990. Since then, Strider Field has become the hub of athletic activity in Chautauqua County. Starting on June 9 and continuing through July 15, the Summer Track & Field Development Program makes its annual return to Strider Field. Proving that track & field is a sport for everyone, the primary focus of the program is on children and youth 13 and under; its purpose is “…to encourage and promote participation and competition in the sport of track and field.” Parents of young athletes will be given an introduction to the basics, while their
children will be afforded the opportunity to choose events in which they would like to compete including: sprinting, hurdling, running, jumping, vaulting, and shot-put. Older athletes will have the chance to learn new techniques and sharpen their skills, enabling them to “graduate” to Chautauqua Striders Track & Field Club. Age divisions are determined by year of birth. Practices are held at 6:00 pm on Monday nights, and development meets take place at Strider Field on Tuesday evenings, at 6:00 pm. Prior to June 3, the pre-registration fee for this six-week program is $40.00 and includes: event instruction, meet participation, t-shirts, and program awards. Limited registration will also be available on Monday, June 10, at Strider Field from 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm; the on-sight cost will be $45.00. David Reinhardt is available at 488-2203 ext. 221 to answer any questions. Additional registration forms and more information
can be found at www. chautauqua-striders. org. No child will be denied the opportunity to compete, as scholarships and discounts can be arranged based on financial need. Chautauqua Striders is always looking for ways to combine education and athletics. In line with that philosophy, it supports and participates in USATF’s “Read for Speed” program, designed specifically to encourage young people to enjoy literature. Research has shown summer reading improves preparation for the upcoming school year; therefore, children and youth will be encouraged to delve into works by their favorite authors and topics of personal interest while on vacation. Participating youth will receive special recognition during the Development Program’s awards banquet for the number of books they have completed. The 2014 Summer Track & Field Club begins its schedule of events at 5:30 pm on
June 2, at Strider Field. Chautauqua Striders is currently accepting registration forms for athletes, ages 12-18 who would like to join this outstanding and nationally recognized track club. (Those competing for their high school teams are encouraged to register in advance; forms are located on Chautauqua Striders’ website along with practice and competition schedules.) As a member of the USATF, Chautauqua Striders hosts and participates in many events throughout the United States. One of the most exciting is the USATF Niagara Junior Olympics, to be held this year at Penfield High School on Sunday, June 22.

Ticket To Ride: The Premiere Train Game
Without further ado, let’s take a look at one of my mother’s favorite games: Ticket To Ride.

The Card Table game is meant for 2-5 players and I’ve played Collectible card games, role- with all four options playing games, living card and it works pretty well games and board games with any number.

France and Finland. That’s not even mentioning the countless awards it’s won from various game reviewers and designers.
but there’s not a lot of chance for backstabbing or trickery. The bottom line is that you won’t lose friends playing this game.
INTRODUCTION
MECHANICS
The game board is a map of North America, though that’s just the original game. There are many expansions that are different maps such Africa or Europe or Scandinavian countries. Honestly I only own the original, so I can’t speak about the others, but they all have very good reviews from other online reviewers. It’s a fairly light game with very little confrontation. Sure, another player might take a card before you can,
The goal of the game is simple: get more points than each of your opponents. Points are awarded by connecting cities on the map with your colored train pieces. Sounds simple, right? Well it is, but let’s look at it a little deeper. The cities depicted on the map are connected through a variety of paths of different lengths and colors. That will all make sense in a minute. At the start of the
game, each player picks a set of colored train pieces. They are then dealt three destination cards. These destination cards show two cities and a point value. If, at the end of the game, these cities are connected by a string of trains, the player is awarded those points. If those cities remain unconnected, the player loses the points on the card. Points are also earned for each set of trains a player lays down. For instance, playing just one train earns one point. Two trains is two points. Three trains is four points. Four trains is seven points. Five trains is 10 points. Six trains is 15 points. Also at the start of the game, five cards will be flipped face up from the train cars deck. These cards represent different colors and are used to build trains and connect cities. For instance, five blue cards can be used to build your train on the five car-length blue spot on the board. On a player’s turn, he/ she can either pick up two of these colored cards and add them to their hands, or play the
cards from their hands to place their train cars on the board. Play continues until one player has zero, one or two train cars left in his/her stockpile. After that, each player gets one more turn and whichever player has the most points wins. There is also a 10-point bonus at the end of the game for the player with the longest unbroken train, but honestly I feel like that’s overkill. If you have the longest unbroken train it’s only because you happened to draw destination cards that allowed you to do so and you probably won already anyway.
Tarnowski earned the win by scattering seven hits over the completegame effort. She relied heavily on her defense with just two strikeouts and one walk. Sarah Hanlon took the loss in the circle by allowing six runs on four hits. She struck out one but walked three and
plunked a pair. The undefeated Lady Hillbillies showed nice offensive balance by having seven different players score their seven runs. Nicole Balzer and Selena Ruiz each smacked a pair of hits in the loss for Dunkirk.
TO OWN OR NOT TO OWN
I’ve heard this game described as this generation’s Monopoly and I think that’s fairly apt. If you have just one game in your closet, it should be Ticket To Ride. There’s virtually no chance that you won’t like this game and depending on how much you like it, you can get the expansion maps to change the game (and learn geography at the same time). So in case you missed it, yes, this is one to own.
the rivalry between dunkirk and Fredonia is renewed, continued from page 25 With Fredonia holding a comfortable 7-3 lead, Dunkirk kicked off the seventh with three straight base knocks to load the bases with no outs. A walk by Aimee Kaufman forced a run home and closed the gap to just three runs — still with the bases loaded
and no outs. A fielder’s choice cut down a run at the plate, but Dunkirk still had the bases loaded. With one out, Selena Ruiz came through with a single that brought a fifth Dunkirk run across the plate. A fly out off the bat of Emilee Hanlon put Mad-
dy Crandall is a situation straight out of a movie. Bases loaded. Two outs. Down two runs. Crandall certainly hit the ball hard, but Fredonia shortstop Mekenna Leid made a nice play on the ball, flipped to third base and secured the win for the Lady Hillbillies.
Fredonia was able to build its big lead to begin with by scoring four runs in the fifth inning. Already up 2-1, the Lady Hillbillies got a big two-run triple off the bat of Bre Dahn to spark the outburst. Dahn later scored on an RBI knock by Morgan Genovese. Fredonia hurler Baylee

The special black bass season is in effect on Lake Erie and its tributaries up to the first impassible barrier only. Anglers can use natural / live bait and can keep one bass per day, with a minimum size of 20 inches during the special bass season. Bass fishing on all other waters in western New York is by catch and release only, artificial lures only until the 3rd Saturday in June. Tiger muskellunge season also opens on May 3rd on the inland waters where they occur. Tiger muskellunge season remains closed on Lake Erie, Niagara River and Lake Ontario until the 3rd Saturday in June.
Lake Erie Fishing Hotline upper 40s and low 50s. As creek temperatures warm, look for the smallmouth bass action to really take off. Woolly buggers and minnow imitation patterns are good bass offerings for fly anglers, and spinning anglers generally do well with stickbaits and natural baits like minnows, crayfish and worms.
Lake Erie
Crews began removing the ice boom at the head of the Niagara River this week, but have been slowed by wind, waves and thick ice. Sections of the boom remain in place and there is still plenty of ice floating around the eastern end off Buffalo. Walleye season opens on Saturday, but with cold water temperatures in the low to mid 30s, expect a slow start. Early season walleye anglers generally do best in shallow spawning Lake Erie Tributaries areas at night. Trolling in Stream levels have dropped 6-15 feet of water with shalback quickly since the low diving stickbaits or worm mid-week rainstorms.

a better bet for yellow perch and sunfish. These areas warm quicker than the main river channel, attracting both bait and panfish. Emerald shiners are the top bait for perch and sunfish, but other small minnows and worms will work too. Look for crappie schooling in the backwater areas of Tonawanda Creek, between the confluence with the Erie Canal and the Niagara River. Keep in mind that down river of the Peace Bridge, smallmouth bass fishing is by catch and release only, artificial lures only, until the 3rd Saturday in June.
Chautauqua Lake
The canals have produced a decent mix of crappie, perch, bluegill and bullhead this week. There has not been much fishing pressure on the open lake this week, due to windy weather. Previously, boaters had to do a bit of searching to find active crappie schools. Target crappie in areas with green weeds in 6-10 feet of water in sheltered bays and around structure. Recent crappie catches have come from Ashville Bay, Burtis Bay, Lakewood Bar, around Rock and Grass Islands and off Mayville. Jig heads (1/32 and 1/64 ounce) with one inch tubes, with or without a minnow, have worked well. A small minnow on a bare hook is another simple, but effective method for crappie. Walleye season opens on Saturday, May 3rd. Targeting walleye along shallower shoreline areas at night is a good early season tactic. Boaters troll outside weed edges with stickbaits and worm harnesses, or drift and
work jigs with nightcrawlers or leeches. Shore anglers can connect by casting stickbaits, especially in areas near stream inlets.
Inland Trout Fishing
The area's trout streams are running at higher levels, but many are fishable. The smaller streams offer the better conditions at present. Creek temperatures are still a bit cool, but hendricksons and blue-winged olives are hatching on some streams. The majority of action is below the surface on nymphs. Small streamers and buggers also work. Productive offerings for spinning anglers include worms, salted minnows and small inline spinners. If you are a catch-and-release angler and use spinners, it is a good practice to outfit your spinners with a single hook rather than a treble hook. Western New York anglers have a variety of Wild Trout Streams and Stocked Trout Streams to choose from. In addition, Public Fishing Rights Maps are available for many of the area's best trout streams.
Spring Trout Stocking
DEC Hatchery staff have been busy stocking thousands of yearling brown, brook and rainbow trout in western New York. In addition, many of the popular trout streams also receive stockings of twoyear-old brown trout that are between 12-15 inches long. For lists of stocked waters (by County) and numbers of trout stocked, check the 2014 Spring Trout Stocking page. The DEC has stocked all region 9 waters with at least their first stocking increment. The following waters will receive an additional stocking
between 5/5 and 5/9. Allegany County: Dyke Creek (Andover), Cryder Creek (Independence), Dodge Creek (Clarksville), Rushford Lake (Caneadea). Cattaraugus County: Forks Creek (Great Valley), Great Valley Creek (Great Valley), Elton Creek (Freedom). Wyoming County: Tonawanda Creek (Orangeville), Buffalo Creek ( Java).
Genesee River Angler Diary Program
The New York State DEC Region 9 Fisheries Office will be running an angler diary program on the Genesee River in Allegany and Wyoming Counties. The program will run from March 1st through October 31st, 2014. This program will cover the portion of the river from the PA line, downstream through Letchworth State Park, and will record data for both trout and bass fishing trips. If you fish the Genesee River (even once) and would like to keep a diary for DEC please call the Region 9 Fisheries Office at (716) 372-0645 or e-mail fwfish9@gw.dec. state.ny.us. This diary program will be used to evaluate the quality of the fishery and determine future management actions. If you need more fishing information or would like to contribute to the fishing report, please call or e-mail Mike Todd (716-851-7010; mttodd@gw.dec.state.ny.us) or Jim Markham (716-366-0228; jlmarkha@gw.dec.state.ny.us).

get to Nashville and get started on our journey.'' Poile said he's known Laviolette for years through USA Hockey. Also general manager of the 2014 U.S. Olympic team, Poile named Laviolette one of that team's three coaches. He also interviewed Laviolette for the Predators' job along with a couple others he did not name originally planning to hire his new coach in June. Openings in Florida, Carolina, Washington and Vancouver prompted Poile to move quicker to avoid losing Laviolette. Poile said he was very comfortable hiring Laviolette. ''Basically in some form, I was interviewing him all year long,'' Poile said. Laviolette has been a head coach over 12 seasons starting with the New York Islanders be-
tween 2001 and 2003, Carolina from 2003-09 and Philadelphia from 2009 until October. He has 389 wins and 866 career points and six playoff berths, winning nine series. He helped the Islanders end a seven-year postseason drought with back-to-back berths in 2002 and 2003, and the Flyers lost the cup to Chicago in six games in 2010. Laviolette is considered an offensive-minded coach with his teams fi nishing in the Top 10 in six of his eight full seasons and not lower than 13th in goals scored. That helps fi ll a major need for the Predators who scored only 216 goals this season when they fi nished three points out of the fi nal Western Conference playoff berth. Poile said he wanted a coach with a different
style of play, and Laviolette's teams play more up-tempo and are more offensive oriented. That's what Poile wants out of the Predators. The general manager said they've been working to improve their forwards, including trading Martin Erat in March 2013 for Filip Forsberg and David Legwand to Detroit this March for Calle Jarnkrok. Forward also is likely to be the position the Predators draft with the 11th pick overall in June. Young forwards already on the roster will get a second chance with Laviolette. Mix that with what Poile believes is one of the best defenses in the NHL, and he expects the Predators to be back in the playoffs next year. ''With his system and different ideas if you will, I think offensively
we have a chance to be a lot better under his leadership,'' Poile said. Forward Matt Cullen helped Laviolette win the Stanley Cup in Carolina and is looking forward to playing for him again. ''He's a great fit for our team and what we need going forward,'' Cullen said on a conference call. ''And I just think a lot of Peter as a coach. He's a good person, and he just has that real ability to bring out the best in all of his players.'' The Predators also hired Kevin McCarthy as an assistant coach. He joins assistant coaches Phil Housley and Lane Lambert. They worked with Barry Trotz, the only other coach for this franchise who the Predators announced April 14 that he would not return.

deserves it. He had a big-time MVP season.'' Durant's run of 41 consecutive games this season with at least 25 points was the third-longest streak in NBA history. ''It was a two-man race, and then toward the end, it was kind of a nobrainer,'' Griffin said. James averaged 27.1 points, 6.9 rebounds and 6.3 assists while shooting nearly 57 percent from the field. Griffin averaged 24.1 points and 10.1 rebounds. Durant scored at least 40 points 14 times. He also averaged 7.4 rebounds and a career-high 5.5 assists while shooting 50 percent from the field. While Westbrook was out after his most recent knee surgery, Durant averaged 35 points and 6.3 assists as the Thunder went 20-7 and remained among the league's elite. Teammates and opponents say Durant became a more complete player this season. They praised him for
improving his court vision, consistently making the extra pass and moving more efficiently without the ball. ''I think we take it for granted,'' teammate Nick Collison said. ''To be able to stay on for long periods of time have to cut hard, catch the ball in the right spot and defend on the other end - is tough to do. To be able to show that shows that he has an edge to him. He doesn't take a night off.'' Though Durant's consistency stood out this season, he had several exceptional games. He scored 48 points on Jan. 4 at Minnesota, then scored 48 again two games later at Utah. He scored a career-high 54 points in a home win against Golden State on Jan. 17 and two games later scored 46 at home in a victory against Portland. Two games after that, he had a triple-double - 32 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists - in a win at Philadel-

phia, and he followed that with 41 points in a victory over Atlanta. He scored 51 points at Toronto on March 21 in a staggering 53 minutes and hit the game-winning 3-pointer with 1.7 seconds left in double overtime. He capped it off in the season fi nale by scoring 21 of his 42 points in the fourth quarter against Detroit and winning the game with a dunk with 16.5 seconds left. The Thunder overcame a 10-point deficit in the quarter to clinch the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference playoffs. ''I put in so much work and so many people helped me,'' he said. ''I feel like we all won it. Our equipment guy gave me a hug today and said, 'This is my first MVP,' and I thought about that. And I said, 'Yeah, this is our first MVP.' I couldn't have done it without the teammates, without the trainer. Everybody. We all just did this together.''

Kenseth Keselowski's car slid wondered Sunday if through the grass and Keselowski wasn't a bit shot back up onto the of a hypocrite. track. He was lucky By Jenna Fryer
AP Auto Racing Writer
''If it was the other way around and it was anybody else except for him, we'd all be getting lectured,'' Kenseth said. Kenseth is absolutely right. Keselowski is outspoken and firm in his beliefs, and when he thinks he's been wronged, he lets everybody know. That's because Keselowski has always lived by his own code. When he says what's on his mind or races in a way that serves only him, he doesn't really care who gets upset. While other drivers attempt to race by an unwritten code or respect on-track etiquette, Keselowski does his own thing. He's always been that way, and he made no apologies for it as he scratched and clawed his way into NASCAR. His family poured every cent into racing, extended themselves far beyond their means in an effort to help Brad and his older brother, Brian, race. More than once, the money ran out and the family was forced to make difficult decisions. Keselowski, so desperate for that one
big break that would jump-start his career, simply could not afford to play the nice guy. He viewed every race as an opportunity to make a name for himself, and he worried he'd run out of chances before he proved his worth. It led to a yearlong feud with Denny Hamlin, with Hamlin throwing his hands up in disgust after a 2009 Nationwide race at Phoenix over Keselowski's refusal to calm down on the track. He had multiple scrapes with Carl Edwards, and NASCAR was forced to mediate several times. None of it deterred Roger Penske, who freed him in late 2009 from a dead-end driver development deal with Hendrick Motorsports. Keselowski was the Nationwide champion the next season, and in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship in 2011. One year later, he was NASCAR's newest champion, beating Johnson in a roundfor-round title fight that gave Penske his first career Cup championship in 40 years.
Keselowski believed that championship validated his bumpy road to the top and earned him the respect of his peers. He badly wanted to parlay his role as champion into a leader of the sport. In his heart, he was certain he'd earned that right. Only nothing changed. Before his title defense even began, he found himself inside NASCAR headquarters explaining comments he made in a USA Today article to NASCAR chairman Brian France and Lesa France Kennedy, head of International Speedway Corp. His opinions were not popular, and voicing them got him into hot water time and again last season. He also learned over the course of the season that the respect he thought he'd earned from his peers wasn't there. Keselowski very much wants to be one of the faces of NASCAR. When his title didn't make it happen, he tried to rein himself in a bit to see if that would do the trick.

Instead, his performance suffered. He failed to make the Chase and won his only race of the season in Week 31. During that span, he chose not to shove Kyle Busch out of his way at Watkins Glen - a move that would have given him a win and put him in the Chase. Keselowski learned the hard way that ''life provided me a unique opportunity to have my cake and eat it, too. My read was wrong, though. That opportunity is further down the road if I keep doing what I did before 2013.'' So that's what you've seen on track from Keselowski this season and Sunday at Talladega. He's racing for himself. He's not playing nice and he's taking no prisoners. That's why he was racing hard with the leaders while down six laps at Talladega. That's why he forced himself in front of Patrick just 13 laps into the race. Sure, he made everybody mad with some moves. But if it wins him races, Keselowski doesn't care.
