The photo postcard Sending a postcard is a pastime that dates back to the beginning of the mail service. But it’s still a perfectly acceptable way to tell people about a baby’s arrival, and give them a nice little memento for them to hold on to. There are lots of services that you can use to create postcards. Vistaprint is a great, low-cost option you can order online. There’s also Snapfish, and they’ll make prints you can pick up locally in Walmart or Walgreens. Obviously, this option isn’t as cheap as Facebook, but it’s a nice personal touch that many still enjoy.

Then there’s Cindy Shuff, who lives along Route 394 not far from the Chautauqua Golf Course. She has provided Saturday snacks since Habitat’s first undertaking four years ago. Although Habitat headquarters pays for the coffee, treats are provided by volunteers. “I have a list of 30 people I can call to bring treats,” she said.
When Cindy takes a vacation, she has standins who take over. This past winter, those who filled in during her absence were Pam Howard, Lisa Best and Karen McCann. The Bottomley Family also has been waiting for the house to be finished. Rose and Tom, having been chosen as the future owners, also are able to keep an eye on progress because they live across the street in a much smaller house. More room is needed as their four daughters, Caitlyn, Haley, Emma and Lillian, are growing up fast as all youngsters do.
One of the requirements for potential owners of a Habitat house is that they must spend 500 building hours on their future home. This is a plus for Tom because he has been with Mayshark Builders for 12 years. Everyone who helps build a Habitat house – whether weekly, monthly or when able to pitch in – is usually asked why they do it. Conrad Howard has been a human resources retiree for six years, and this is his third consecutive Mayville undertaking. He also has worked on a home in Sherman and one
in Lakewood. As all are asked, why does you do this? “Because I like building things and helping people” is his reply. “There’s good fellowship with the workers and the family, too.” Then there’s Victoria Templeton who lives in Bemus Point and was asked her first day “on the job,” how she heard about the Mayville project. “I read it in the paper,” she replied, and noted that she wanted to do something to help others and can do so on Saturdays.

Faith is simply the verdict we render of God. Either we testify of His salvation, goodness, power, and provision or we press charges against Him as being aloof and indifferent. At all times you are
standing at the witness podium declaring what God is in your life. Your reaction to life is your testimony. Most have rendered God as being an absentee Father. Others have testified that He is the perpetrator of the circumstances they wish to be free from. But from the lips of the faithful streams a constant sworn testimony that convicts God of being their strength. God is always on trial in the court of your opinion. The verdict you render of Him there will determine what He becomes in your life. Hebrews 11:11 says, "Through faith also Sarah herself RECEIVED STRENGTH to

When Sarah, Abraham's wife, was well stricken in years she became pregnant with the son that God promised to Abraham. The circumstances were grim. Her body did not function like that of a young woman. Every natural circumstance said that she would never be a mother. But, in the realm of God, there was another reality available to her. The natural circumstances acted like a fierce prosecutor. The truth of God's Word was her only defense attorney. God was on trial in the court of Sarah's opin

ion. Which side would she testify for? Do you see that your life is a collection of moments just like this? Most modern Christians would have looked at the facts and then turned to a traditional form of rhetoric like, "Well if it happens then God must have willed it and if not then it wasn't meant to be." No! For Sarah HER JUDGMENT was needed for God to move on her behalf. God needed her verdict of His power. So many people are missing these moments in their lives and they are becoming con-
vinced that God doesn't hear them. What did Sarah do? It says, "Sarah received strength...because SHE JUDGED Him faithful that promised." The word "judgment" means to render an opinion, to decide after deliberation, and to determine. Sarah delivered a powerful testimony that said, "God is strengthening my body, God is faithful, I will have this child." As she judged God, He became exactly what she judged Him to be. Speak the words, "The Lord is the strength of my life." (Ps
9
27:1) Many people take the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior but few have received Him as Healer. Say, "The Lord is my Healer." You must pass this judgment for God to become these things in your life. Sarah received because Sarah judged properly. "God is my peace, my joy, my provision forever!" Pray this: "Lord, I judge you to be faithful. You are my Savior, Healer, and Provider." Don't be deceived to believe that God decides alone what He will be in your life. He is waiting for your verdict.

Fredonia Economic Impact Estimated At $330 Million
Contributed Article $204 million, annually, Fredonia
The State University of New York at Fredonia has released an economic impact report detailing the results of a thirdparty study conducted to determine the university’s influence on the local, regional and state economy. The study, which focused on Fredonia’s 2012-13 fiscal year (ended June 30, 2013), revealed a total economic impact of more than $157 million annually in the “local” region, which the study defined as the municipalities of Fredonia, Dunkirk and Sheridan. The university’s regional impact, which includes all of Chautauqua, Erie and Cattaraugus counties, exceeded
while statewide impact surpassed $330 million. The study, conducted by the University at Buffalo’s Regional Institute and commissioned by Fredonia’s Division of Engagement and Economic Development, develops a baseline of key impact indicators, shedding light, through data and quantitative analysis, on Fredonia’s contributions to the local, regional and state economy. Members of the UB Regional Institute will give a presentation about their findings on Friday, May 22 at 11 a.m. at the Fredonia Technology Incubator, 214 Central Ave., in Dunkirk. With 1,780 faculty and staff, 5,214 enrolled students, 421 faculty retir-
ees, 42,736 alumni and 87,755 annual visitors during 2012-13, Fredonia is a hub for people and a source of community and economic vitality. Generated revenues of $140 million in 201213 supported spending of $215.4 million by the university and its employees, students and visitors, fueling demand for businesses and service suppliers across Western New York and beyond. The study defines the university’s economic impact as the organization’s influence in a geographic area as a result of its income and expensegenerating activities. The cycle begins with the university’s efforts to attract revenue from a variety of sources, including state aid, grants, tuition and other revenue. It continues as
it allocates those dollars to purchase goods and services, pay wages and salaries, deliver academic programs, and hold special events. Those dollars circulate further into the economy as companies reinvest them in their businesses and as individuals spend them on and off campus. “We are very proud of the role we play in the economic vitality of the region, and we wanted to be able to better quantify this for our many audiences and constituents,” said Dr. Kevin Kearns, vice president for Engagement and Economic Development at Fredonia. “This undertaking reflects Fredonia’s commitment to the values outlined in its strategic plan and its mission statement, and reinforces the important
role Fredonia has in the cultural, intellectual, and economic growth of the region. It also gives us a starting point by which to measure future growth and success. Fredonia’s Division of Engagement and Economic Development facilitates and supports university-community collaborations that enhance the intellectual, cultural, artistic and economic vibrancy of the region. Such collabora-
tions include active community engagement and partnerships with local and regional organizations, governments, businesses and universities. There is no fee or registration process required to attend the May 22 presentation, which is open to the public.

ON THE [holographic] stage
National Comedy Center World's First Hologram Comedy Club America’s only national comedy attraction will recreate comedy legends’ performances Contributed Article National Comedy Center The National Comedy Center (NCC) announced today that it will partner with Hologram USA (HUSA) to build the world’s first Hologram Comedy Club at its $18 million new campus in Jamestown, NY breaking ground in August 2015, and scheduled to open in August 2016. The NCC and HUSA will celebrate and forever preserve the classic routines of some of the world’s comedic legends by recreating their most iconic historical performances. The holograms will grace the stage throughout the day in a classic comedy club environment so that audiences can have a lifelike experience with these acts that no archival film clip can give. “Of all the amazing things we’ve done with hologram technology, this is one of the most exciting ones,” said Alki David, CEO of Hologram USA. “As a permanent home for this advanced form of entertainment, the NCC couldn’t be better. And I can’t think of a better way to experience America’s comedy greats than in the live setting they thrived in at their peaks.”
The National Comedy Center will honor and celebrate comedy and its contributors across all time lines and media types with its world class interactive and personally-customized exhibit experience, celebrate the best of contemporary comedy with its year-round programming and provide support for new and up-and-coming artists through professional development and educational opportunities. The National Comedy Center is the embodiment of the vision that Lucille Ball had for her hometown of Jamestown, NY, which was that her legacy be celebrated in the form of living, breathing comedy. In addition to the Hologram Comedy Club, visitors to the NCC will be immersed in many other unique “only here” interactive and participatory experiences throughout its 35,000 feet of attraction space. “We are thrilled to announce this partnership with Hologram USA,” Tom Benson, Chairman of the NCC added. “The National Comedy Center will take guests on a high tech experiential journey that will at once be unique, educational and fun. The hologram comedy club will transport guests back in time as a part of this journey which will
allow them to experience and enjoy classic performances as if they were seeing them live. This is a perfect example of what the National Comedy Center is all about.” Holograms are the newest field in the entertainment industry and Hologram USA is the exclusive North American provider of the HD technology that creates the only truly lifelike experiences. It is the same tech that was used to create the famous Tupac Shakur hologram at Coachella and the Jimmy Kimmel Country Music Awards appearance. Recent news of projects resurrecting Liberace, Buddy Holly, Ray Charles and more have stirred enormous interest and HUSA is working with Hollywood studios and leaders across the music industry to expand this market. The NCC was recently awarded a $1.5 million grant by New York Governor Andrew Cuomo who praised it as the first national comedy attraction and embraced it as a key component of the long term tourism strategy of New York and the I LOVE NY
campaign. The NCC is a division of the National Comedy Center, Inc., a not for profit 501 (c)(3) organization that also owns and operates the Lucille Ball Desi Arnaz Museum in Jamestown and produces the Lucille Ball Comedy Festival every summer. It will be housed in a state of the art adaptive reuse of historic properties in Jamestown, including the recently renovated Gateway Train Station. The master plan and detailed designs for the components for the National Comedy Center were developed by the leading attraction design firm of Jack Rouse Associates in collaboration with the interactive consulting firm of Local Projects, Inc. who recently completed the 9/11 Museum Project in New York. At the NCC’s Hologram Comedy Club, audiences will also have the opportunity to view living legends on stage—and even live performances beamed by Hologram USA’s ‘telepresence’ capabilities from a distant city.

By Tonja Dodd Contributing Writer
Physical Activity & Fitness Guidelines - Special Populations One of the principles that will help you stay active is, listen to the science. The science states the average American adult should get 2 1/2 hours of physical activity every week at least at a moderate-intensity. More time and greater intensity offers more health and fitness
CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, MAY 15, 2015
Power Of A Pull-Up more can come from it. Boy, are we wrong. There is more present, waiting to be uncovered, and DISCOVERED. If only we take time to give it recognition. Once a rep ends, its true purpose has only just BEGUN. What do I mean? Let’s first realize the aforementioned pull-up represents more than just another lift. It’s the work a pair of 15 year old friends accomplished over the past 8 weeks. The bond forged through sweat, trial, and triumph; and the brotherhood created which will not easily be forgotten. The single pull-up is a culmination of the highs and the
lows, the trials and the defeats which were encountered TOGETHER during the 8 week period. The pull-up has captured their focus in the gym; it’s all they’ve talked about, all they’ve strived to accomplish. Time spent working on it has been their release from the outside world, stresses of their day, and worries of their mind.This time is their opportunity to truly feel FREE. There is POWER in this, if you choose to see it. Which again is why I say, the end is only the BEGINNING. When we take time to discover our own stories, we recognize how every small action
can carry big impact, and how every rep can carry meaning. We realize the lessons learned in “Fitness” can be applied in our everyday lives, and bonds formed can become strong more quickly than our bodies. When we take the time to discover these stories we see a “pull-up” become much more. We watch “Fitness” reach far beyond the physical body. And we see why these stories truly matter. They are the stories of LIFE. What is lying within your Pull-Up? Fitness Can Be Greater.
Physical Activity & Fitness Guidelines-Special Populations benefits. The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and the United States Department of Health and Human Services (USDHHS) also recommend 2 sessions of strength training activity every week - such as lifting weights or hiking with a pack. This recommendation is for the average adult. However, not everyone fits into that category. What if you are a senior? A child? Have a chronic condition? Special needs? Or are pregnant? There are recommendations for you too. Everyone benefits from exercise, regardless of your age or health condition.
Let’s start with kids. We are all aware of the childhood obesity issue which unfortunately promotes adult obesity and its subsequent health and wellness issues. Lack of playtime and physical activity is a key contributor. In addition to reducing obesity and improving self-esteem, cardiovascular and muscular fitness, improved bone health, reduced symptoms of anxiety and depression are all benefits of exercise in children and adolescents. The science suggests at a minimum, 60 minutes or more of physical activity, daily. The activity should be age-appropriate and just like adults, enjoy-
able and offer variety. Vigorous exercise, muscle and bone strengthening activity are all encouraged on at least 3 days. Vigorous examples include, running and chasing (like tag), bicycle riding, jumping rope, soccer, field hockey, basketball, swimming, flag football, dancing, martial arts, tennis and cross-country skiing. Muscle building examples are games and climbing like tug of war, playground play, exercises like push-ups and sit-ups. Bone-strengthening activity includes games with hopping, skipping, jumping, running and sports like gymnastics, tennis and volleyball.
Older adults should aim to achieve 150 minutes per week as much as physical limitations allow. Additionally, adding in exercise that improves balance, flexibility and strength is key. Activities like water aerobics, dancing, doubles tennis and golf are great activities to keep you limber. Finally, talk to your doctor or healthcare provider about your limitations and fitness level before starting a program. If you have a chronic condition (such as diabetes, arthritis, high blood pressure) or if you have a disability (such as from a spinal cord or brain injury, multiple sclerosis, a limb
amputation or dementia) again, talk to your healthcare team so they are aware of your plan. They will give guidance on preventing injury and other health issues. Your doctor will be pleased and want to monitor your progress. Most conditions and your overall health and wellness improves with regular physical activity. Pregnant and postpartum women are permitted to continue exercise while pregnant at the level before they got pregnant. Also it is ok to start exercising during pregnancy, however, make sure your doctor is aware and spread the activity CONTINUED ON PAGE 21

WCA Hospital provides a range of outpatient counseling services for all ages affected by mental illness and/or chemical dependency in Jamestown and the Dunkirk Health Center, located at 338 Central Avenue, Suite 240, Dunkirk, New York. Adolescent and adult “inpatient” mental health and inpatient services are available at WCA Hospital and Jones Memorial Health Center.

The Outpatient Mental Health staff of WCA Hospital provides mental health/behavioral health assessments and treatments for children
and adults. “The most common symptoms that we treat include major depression, generalized anxiety and bipolar disorder, childhood behavioral disorders, and more severe disorders such as schizophrenia,” said Tara R. Huston, Ph.D., a highly-skilled and experienced outpatient mental health program manager at WCA. “No matter what someone may be facing, they can be rest assured that we will link together our emergency, inpatient and outpatient services that allows clients and their family’s one seamless transition among the different levels and types of behavioral and chemical dependence care. Our new suite offer client’s everything they need on one floor in one centralized outpatient location.” There are many causes of mental disorders.
Family genes, family history and life experiences may play a role. If you or someone you love is affected by mental health or chemical dependency/drug addiction, there is help and specialized care.

Later in pregnancy, it is often recommended to taper off vigorous exercise as you don’t want your body to be overheated. Also, exercise lying on your back during the first trimester; lifting and activity that risks falling or collision like horseback riding, skiing, soccer and basketball should be avoided throughout the pregnancy. Many women find walking and swimming comfortable and doable during pregnancy. Being active promotes a healthy baby and a healthy, easier delivery.

After having orthopedic surgery, Donna began receiving Physical Therapy (PT) services at Brooks. Often called “a hidden gem” by healthcare providers in the area, Brooks offers both inpatient and outpatient PT for all ages. “After surgery, I couldn’t eat. I was weak and thin. I had a port in my arm for infusions and had difficulty moving,” Donna states. “There were days when I

New Technology Improving Outcomes For Heart Failure Patients Contributed Article home scale. StatePoint
Heart failure is costing Americans a fortune. The estimated cost of the disease in the U.S. was $31 billion in 2012. That number is estimated to swell to $70 billion by 2030, according to the American Heart Association -- which means that by 2020, every U.S. taxpayer could pay $244 each year for heart failure expenses. Heart failure is not only a financial burden, but the condition reduces the quality of life for patients and can increase their risk of serious and sometimes fatal medical emergencies. Counter to these sobering facts are the results of a recent study, which found that a new medical technology can successfully reduce heart failure hospital admissions when managed by a physician, and improve the quality of life among patients experiencing limitations of physical activity due to their cardiac disease. This new technology, called the CardioMEMS HF System, directly measures pulmonary artery pressure. Data shows this is a much more effective measure than the indirect markers patients have traditionally used to monitor heart failure at home, such as taking and tracking their own blood pressure or weight on a
Using a miniaturized, wireless monitoring sensor implanted in the pulmonary artery during a minimally invasive procedure, the CardioMEMS HF system directly measures pulmonary artery pressure and transmits the data from a patient’s home to his or her health care provider. These measurements then allow for realtime, personalized and proactive management to reduce the likelihood of hospitalization. “Since heart failure is a chronic disease, most days are spent outside the hospital,” says William Abraham, MD, chief of cardiovascular medicine at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and primary investigator for a clinical study investigating the technology’s efficacy. “Accurately monitoring heart failure from home gives physicians the information they need to significantly improve a patient’s heart failure treatment.” Results from the CHAMPION clinical trial found that those managed with pulmonary artery pressure monitoring showed a significant reduction in 30-day hospital readmission rates for patients age 65 and older, as well as a significant improvement in quality of life as measured by the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire. Potential adverse events
associated with the implantation procedure include, but are not limited to infection, arrhythmias, bleeding, hematoma, thrombus, myocardial infarction, transient ischemic attack, stroke, death, and device embolization. To learn more about this technology and for heart failure information resources, visit www.heartfailureanswers.com. Thanks to treatment advances and technological breakthroughs, heart failure patients are living longer and enjoying an improved quality of life.

BASEBALL, SOFTBALL TAKE CENTER STAGE ACROSS CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
While the weather wasn’t ideal, the high school baseball and softball seasons were in full swing early this week. Games were played in rain, wind and cold, but the talent that this area sports was still undeniable. Baseball Roundup Dunkirk 8, Falconer 4 Jeydin Schrantz ripped a pair of doubles, Randy Cooper added three hits and the Dunkirk Marauders (3-10) snapped a five-game losing streak with a 8-4 win over Falconer in a CCAA West 1 clash on Tuesday. Freshman Devon Farnham-DeJesus was the beneficiary of the offensive outburst, earning the win in relief after starter Nick Thompson dealt with an injury. FarnhamDeJesus struck out five in four innings of work. The Golden Falcons were led by Chris Elderkin, who collected a pair of hits and an RBI in the loss. Gowanda 14, Southwestern 1 The Gowanda Panthers must have been amped up to be playing in Russell Diethrick Park because they came out swinging the bats with a purpose on Tuesday. Gowanda put up four runs in the top of the first inning and never looked back. Another four-run Panthers outburst in the third inning all but sealed the Trojans’ fate. Southwestern was unable to solve Gowanda hurler Matt Kruszka, who went the distance while allowing just six hits. Silver Creek 14, North Collins 6 Silver Creek rode sophomore Chris Williams’ arm to a 14-6 win over North Collins, Tuesday at Silver Creek High School. Williams held North Collins out of the hit column until Brandon Zielinski doubled to lead off the seventh inning. The wheels fell off a little bit at that point as a pair of errors led to something of a North Collins comeback, but Evan Ward came in and closed out the win. Clinging to a 2-1 lead headed into the bottom of the third inning, the Black Knights exploded for eight runs to blow the game wide open. Brad Rybak and Elliot Martin each

IRRELEVANT MLB TEAMS, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 26 I was driving with a friend the other day when talk of Phillip Rivers getting traded to the Tennessee Titans came up on sports radio. That got us thinking: Which team is the most irrelevant in each of the four major sports? The Titans have to have a good claim, no? There are theoretically worse teams, but is there a team that matters less to the casual NFL fan? I joked at the time that the topic would make a good commentary, but the more I thought about it, it really would. So let’s take a look at the candidates for each of the four major professional (North American) sports and I’ll give you my picks at the end. This isn’t all about wins and losses. In fact, I hope winning percentage is a minor detail. Star power, market size, history — these are the things that matter. The candidates: MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL Tampa Bay Rays: Imagine for a minute that the Rays didn’t play in the American League East. Say they played in the National League Central and routinely played teams like Cincinnati and Milwaukee instead of the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox. The Rays matter a tiny bit right now only because they play against teams that matter. Yes, those few years of success after dropping “Devil” from their name were fun, but the Rays’ attendance numbers have always been a total joke. Add that to the fact that before they were making the playoffs, they were the worst team in professional sports. Attendance, though, is really the key here. Miraculously they aren’t last this year. Tampa Bay sits a robust 29th out of 30 teams (Cleveland is last, but you have to think that’s due to weather and will change when the North gets a little warmer). The Rays were dead last in attendance in 2014, 2013 and 2012. In 2011 (a year in which the team won 91 games and went to the playoffs), the Rays were 29th. Part of this is being in Florida. Part of this is being an expansion team. Whatever the reason, however, the Rays are clearly irrelevant.
Giants, the Rockies are probably never going to matter. They’ve managed to turn one of the most skilled players we’ve seen in the past 20 years (Troy Tulowitzki) and make him unmarketable and unnoticeable. Part of that is him getting hurt, but part of that is the Rockies never, ever mattering even a little bit. They did make the World Series back in 2007 after a crazy winning streak to get into the playoffs, but they were promptly swept. Even as I write this, the Rockies are in the midst of a 10-game losing streak. A streak of that many games should matter, but it doesn’t. Because it’s the Rockies. I hate to rag on them too much, but if the Rockies never played another game, I wouldn’t notice. And I’m about as big of a baseball fan as they come. I’m pretty sure that alone is enough to put them on this list. It's my list, after all. Milwaukee Brewers: The Brewers matter to me on a personal level because I absolutely detest this team. But that’s me as a life-long Pirates fan, not as an objective sports writer. As a writer, there are few teams Nolan Arrenado is really mad that the Rockies are on my most irrelevant that matter less than the Brewers. teams list. (AP Photo/Nick Wass) Since 1983, the Brewers have made likes of Randy Johnson, Alex Rodri- the playoffs exactly twice, losing in Minnesota Twins: I don’t like putting the Twins on this list because guez, Ken Griffey, Jr., Ichiro, Felix the NLDS in 2008 and then losing Hernandez and Robinson Cano they certainly have a lot of history. in the NLCS in 2011.

Her .446 overall average is the second highest in Blue Devil history by a player with 50 at-bats or more. Katie Batkowiak, a 2013 graduate, batted .451 in 2010. Forness is the fourth Blue Devil player to receive a NFCA award. Bartkowiak made the Northeast Region First Team in 2011 and Third Team in 2012. Michelle Laettner was also a Third Team choice during 2012, her senior year. Current junior Alyssa Morgan (Homer, N.Y./Homer) was a Third Team pick in 2013. Forness also was named SUNYAC First Team AllConference, along with two teammates, and was SUNYAC Third Team All-Conference in women's soccer last fall as the Blue Devils starting goalkeeper.

Fredonia will head to Olean on Friday with the league title up for grabs. Cassadaga Valley 3, Chautauqua Lake 1 Cassadaga Valley’s Jake Watts and Chautauqua Lake’s Tyler Meredith engaged in quite a pitcher’s duel on Monday at Cassadaga Valley Central School. In the end, it was the Cougars that came out on top, 3-1, in the Division 1 West tilt. Watts earned the win while striking out eight batters and allowing just a pair of hits and three walks. Meredith was nearly as good, striking out 11, walking a pair and surrendering nine hits. Tyler Simpson and Chase Jones each had a pair of base hits in the win while Devin Pope had both of the Thunderbirds’ hits in the loss. Brocton 6, Maple Grove 4
Ryan Johnson went the distance on the mound, leading the Brocton Bulldogs to a CCAA West 2 win over Maple Grove, 6-4, on Monday. The Bulldogs were able to break out for a pair of runs in both the first and second innings to build an early 4-0 lead. After Maple Grove chipped away to eventually tie the game in the top of the six inning, Brocton came back with another pair of runs in the bottom half and held on for the win. Johnson struck out 10 while walking just one to earn the win. He was backed by an offense led by Steven Krystofiak and Kole Wisecarver, who each collected three hits. Matt Roach was solid on the mound, tossing six innings while striking out five. Jonah Tanner and Nolan Knite each collected a pair of hits for Maple Grove. Softball Roundup Randolph 10, Forestville 6 A three-run lead before the rains came was followed by a four-run loss after Mother Nature did her work on
the Forestville Lady Hornets. Randolph capitalized on a some walks and timely hits to earn the 10-6 win over Forestville, Tuesday in a CCAA East 2 battle. Julia Szoszorek continued her recent hot streak with a 4-for-4 performance at the plate for the Lady Hornets. Emily Narraway added two hits and two runs scored in the loss. Falconer 9, Dunkirk 3 Falconer used a complete team effort to earn a 9-3 CCAA West 1 win over visiting Dunkirk, Tuesday at Falconer High School. In the circle, it was Abbey Courtney going the distance while allowing three runs on eight hits while striking out four. At the dish, Jenna Fellows did a majority of the damage with a home run and a triple among her three hits and three RBI. For Dunkirk, Sarah Hanlon took the loss while allowing nine runs on five hits. Nine walks and three hit batters is what really did the hurler in. The Lady Marauders’ offense was paced by Emilee Hanlon, who
collected four base knocks. Maddy Crandall and Keraghan Krzyzanowicz (home run) each had a pair of hits in the loss. Falconer 4, Fredonia 3 (10 innings) In a game for the ages, the Falconer Lady Golden Falcons were able to outlast the Fredonia Lady Hillbillies in 10 innings, Monday at Fredonia High School. The back-and-forth contest saw Falconer take a 2-1 lead before Fredonia tied it in the bottom of the fifth on a Morgan Genovese RBI. Then in the ninth, it was the Lady Golden Falcons that again went out in front thanks to a Fredonia error. But Fredonia was able to knot the score once again thanks to a Bre Dahn RBI. Finally, in the 10th inning, Kari Hines delivered an RBI triple that would end up being the winning run. Fredonia’s Hannah Cybart tried to score from third on a passed ball in the bottom half of the inning, but was tagged out at the plate.

35 NASCAR’s All-Star Race Has Been A Dud Of Late
CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, MAY 15, 2015
By Jenna Fryer
AP Auto Racing Writer
CONCORD, N.C. (AP) -- The lore of NASCAR's annual All-Star race has been building since 1987, when Dale Earnhardt's ''pass in the grass'' gave him the victory. That exciting third installment of the All-Star race was followed by plenty of stellar finishes - Rusty Wallace's 1989 victory over a spinning Darrell Waltrip in a race dubbed ''The Tide Slide,'' or Davey Allison's 1992 door-to-door battle with Kyle Petty that sent Allison to the hospital after he took the checkered flag on ''One Hot Night.'' But the reality is those kinds of finishes don't happen very often anymore. In fact, the All-Star race has been a bit of a dud for almost 10 years now. There's been a handful of highlights, mainly involving Kyle Busch, and mostly for the off-track drama created by on-track incidents. Busch and big brother Kurt wrecked each other in 2007 racing for position, and it triggered a feud that still isn't completely healed. They went six months without speaking, finally breaking the ice when their grandmother requested a peace agreement for Thanksgiving dinner. In 2010, Kyle Busch tried to pass teammate Denny Hamlin for the lead when Hamlin threw a block that sent Busch into the wall. A livid Busch radioed his team he was ''going to kill'' Hamlin after the race.

''I had this race won! It was won!'' he screamed. Aside from that kind of drama, only the most rabid fans can remember many of the ho-hum finishes of the last decade. Jimmie Johnson has won four of the last 12, Kurt Busch and Kevin Harvick both have victories in that same stretch, and all three should be among the most dominant drivers in Saturday night's running at Charlotte Motor Speedway. So what's the problem with the AllStar race? For starters, there's nothing really ''all-star'' about the event. This year's running is a 110-lap affair with probably 20 drivers competing - a little less than half the regular, 43-car
field running what's in essence just a shortened version of any other race on a mile-and-a-half track. Sure, the event is divided into segments and concludes with a 10-lap sprint to the finish for the $1 million prize. Only problem? Time and time again the current rules package has shown that, barring a late caution or fluke finish, the driver that wins the restart will win the race. Clean air means everything in NASCAR, and 10 laps just aren't enough for a driver to chase down the leader. Oh, and that part about laying it all out on the line for the chance to win the big prize? Well, $1 million doesn't mean the same to today's
crop of drivers as it did when the race debuted in 1985. Drivers aren't racing anymore to buy groceries or tires or to pay the travel to the next week's race. A lack of true rivalries in the sport leaves little incentive for a driver to take many risks for a $1 million prize, a payout the team owner is taking at least 40 percent from. Nobody wants to tear up equipment or wreck someone in a meaningless race. Some suggestions to improve the race: - Put more money on the line. Dangle a prize out there that might actually entice a driver. Charlotte Motor Speedway President Marcus Smith firmly believes the $1 million to the winner - the highest payout in any NASCAR event - is still a meaningful payday. But as he was surrounded last week by the money in neatly wrapped bundles, Smith admitted he'd double the prize to $2 million if NASCAR ran the race with no rules for car setups. - Smith's idea of not using a rule package is actually a strong draw for the competitors and fans. It would put some ingenuity and creativity into car design and setup, and for one race legalize any attempts to, ahem, cheat and get outside of NASCAR's current box. When Smith ran the idea past Chad Knaus, the six-time championship winning crew chief suggested keeping the decision secret until 48 hours before the track opened. Giving them too much notice would give too much creative time.

Upper Niagara River Lake Erie ice is gone and the ice boom has been removed. With warming river temperatures, look for the yellow perch and sunfi sh bite to pick up at harbor, bay and inlet sites. Small minnows, worms or grubs are good baits. Also look for crappie schooling in the backwater areas of Tonawanda Creek, between the confluence with the Erie Canal and the Niagara River. Anglers usually catch some rainbow trout at this time of year from the Bird Island Pier and Broderick Park. Target trout by drifting egg sacs and minnows, or by casting spoons and spinners. Chautauqua Lake Walleye season opens on Saturday, May 2nd. Targeting walleye along shallower shoreline areas at night is a good early season tactic. Boaters can slow troll 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. Anglers were recently seeing good crappie catches at times in the canals and at open lake sites, as well as plenty of perch and bluegill in the same areas. On the open lake, target crappie in 6-10 feet of water in the sheltered bays and around structure. Recent crappie catches have been reported at Lakewood Bar, Rock and Grass Islands, Ashville Bay, Burtis Bay and off Mayville. Catches are best from before dusk through dawn. Small jigs (1/32 and 1/64 ounce) with a small minnow, one inch tube or other small plastic and fi shed under a pencil float works well.
