if they Build it, they Will come NEW VISITORS CENTER HIGHLIGHTS $1.5 MILLION UPGRADE AT CHAUTAUQUA INSTITUTION

By Daniel Meyer Star Contributing Writer

Chautauqua Institution will open its 2013 season next month by debuting a new visitors center, a facility that is part of $1.5 million in pre-season renovation projects currently underway at the historic landmark known for offering outstanding educational entertainment opportunities. The estimated 2,000-square-foot center will open on Bestor Plaza in space previously used for a publications office. The opening is significant in that it marks the first time the non-profit institution has had a visitors center in its 100-year history. The visitors center fulfi lls a need for a focal point on the 750-acre campus where information can be easily circulated that provides details on upcoming lectures, musical performances and other special events. “The main goal of the new visitors center is to serve as a place to properly welcome, educate and really demystify the Chautauqua experience for all visitors,” says Vanessa Weinert, marketing manager for Chautauqua Institution. “It will allow people who have never visited us before a chance to learn, especially since sometimes the first visit here can be quite overwhelming. This will be a comfortable place to learn about what is happening that

The former publications office has moved to the building formerly occupied by the Chautauqua Police Department, with the police force now based in its new permanent location in the old fire hall on Massey Avenue.

About ten days ago (from writing this) I had fi nally crossed the threshold of 75 pounds from when I began losing weight in January of 2012. I have been overweight as long as I can remember, many hear my stories of routinely polishing off a pack of Oreos after school, or eating a large pizza on my own every Thursday in college. For most of 2012, I focused mainly on eating right. I did some research to fi nd the best ways to

Staff will be available to help visitors plan their stay by providing information about programs and facilities on the grounds and also how to secure accommodations for a return visit. “Securing accommodations for a return visit can be a challenge so we plan to use the visitors center to help people find facilities and rental properties they can book ahead for the following year,” says Weinert. “We’re also looking into holding real estate tours and other events that incorporate the entire community into helping

A map on the county’s website shows a smattering of red and pink dots. Unlike most maps, however, the dots are not indicators of towns or villages, or even places that are still in existence. cOntinued On pg 13 What they do reveal is the painstaking work of historians and researchers who continue to document sites of the Underground Railroad. Far from complete, the map also includes “not yet confirmed” stations or safe houses used in the well organized but secretive movement that ran throughout the county routing slaves to their ultimate freedom in Canada. Even before the Fugitive Slave Law was passed in 1850, Chautauqua County was, due to its geographical location, fi lled with routes, or “laterals,” used to ensure passage toward Buffalo, where freedom lay just beyond Lake Erie. Much is said in the county of “places” of the Underground Railroad, and residents of most every town speak with great confidence of an older home - usually a mansion, or any place with a hidden room or tunnel – as Sites of conﬁrmed and rumored locations of the U.G.R.R. in Chautauqua County.

Last Saturday marked the first annual National Train Day celebration in Jamestown taking place at the newly renovated Gateway Train Station. The long-standing relic of Jamestown’s rich railroad history provided the focal point for the celebration, which showcased the $12 million renovations to the former Erie-Lackawanna train station.

take care of my body, and throughout the year I lost around 30-35 pounds. I certainly could have lost more, but it’s better than gaining 30! This year, I went into the New Year determined. I wanted nothing more than to see the scale continue to drop. After dropping about 30 more pounds in six weeks, I hit a plateau. I spoke with some friends and coworkers who told me about a new program that I’ve been doing since then, and fi nally broke through the wall to hit my 75 mark. On Christmas Eve 2011, I was supposed to minister for the Christmas service at my church. But, I was sick; and I wasn’t able to. I remember laying there on the couch, watching the service online, thinking that I was supposed to be there, and I decided then that it was time for change. I don’t believe that God made me sick, but I did learn something from that. I knew that because I didn’t take care of my body, I wasn’t able to rebound from that sickness. It was seriously time for change, and I began to re-evaluate my physical life. There are a few things I’ve learned over this that I’d like to share. I don’t at all consider myself an expert in fitness, but it’s been clear to me that something is working, and if I can help

someone else accomplish their goals that’s even better. 1) What’s your motivation? Ever since I half-heartedly began to try losing weight in high school (Slim-fast, the occasionally gym visit, lean cuisine, cabbage diet, Weight Watchers, Atkins, South Beach, the asparagus diet- you name it and I’ve probably tried it), my motivation was always to look good. To be the guy that people notice when he came in the room, to be the one not afraid to take off his shirt in public. With vanity as my goal, I failed miserably time and time again. I prayed to God to help me become better looking, and I’m sure that He had to fi nd it slightly amusing. Nevertheless, I continued to gain and gain until I reached my max of 315 pounds. After that Christmas, my purpose changed. I have two main reasons for wanting to be healthy. One is that I believe my body is a gift from God, and I intend to take care of that gift. If someone gave me a gasoline car, I certainly wouldn’t put diesel fuel in it. So then why would I ﬂood this gift, which is so much more important than a car, with grease, fat and sugar? I want my body to bring glory to God, to be an example of discipline and self-control. The second reason is for my family, my wife in particular. The more sugar I ate, the meaner I was. The fatter I got, the more tired I was, and needless to say the less attractive I was to look at. My wife is the kindest and most wonderful woman I know, and she never said a word about it. But I knew that if I wanted our marriage to be everything God intended for it to be, something had to change. Additionally, with a toddler running around and another on the way,

a couch potato of a father was not the example I wanted to be. 2) Slow and steady wins the race This morning, when I hit 77 pounds total, I realized that I’ve really only lost about 1.7 pounds a week for the past few months; and yet I’ve lost 15 pounds since March. I used to think that losing fast was the best way, but I’ve come to respect the lower numbers. To be healthy, doctors recommend 1-2 pounds a week of weight loss, and there’s a reason for it. Any more than that just isn’t good for your body; and isn’t necessary. I took 25 years to pack it on, two years to lose it is nothing in the grand scheme of things. 3) Food is not my god This was posted on my fridge for a long time, and I constantly remind myself of it. I was speaking with a coworker recently about the mentality I used to have. I was a comfort eater, and it was the reason for the downward spiral. I’d feel bad about being fat, and food made me feel better; so I’d eat. Then, I’d feel bad again. So I’d eat again. Unless you’ve been there, you can never understand the thought process- like any addiction, I suppose. I had to come to the place, and I’m still working to stay there, where I truly relied on something stronger than food in times of trouble. My faith in God had to grow to get me past my faith in food. There’s plenty more I’m sure I’m still going to learn as I continue on this journey. With the track I’m on, I’m due to hit 100 toward the end of July. I don’t have any ultimate goals; just to be healthy. If you’re interested in losing weight, and want to be healthy about it, I’d encourage you to talk to your doctor or visit a local gym.

Pets of the Week

This week we are featuring “Biggles” and “Kylie.’ Biggles is a very sweet 11-year-old kitty. He is laid back, but loves attention. He is also a member of our Senior-4-Senior adoption program. Kylie is a three-year-old hound mix. She has had it rough in the past. She was found abandoned on the side of the road with her blanket. She can be shy so she needs a family that will give her time to warm up to them. She would be best in a home without small children. If you could offer either of these pets that second chance they deserve, please stop by the Strunk Road Adoption Center. You will be glad you did.

Train Day also featured a big band and guest speaker Chuck Spinner author of the book, “The Tragedy of the Loomis Street Crossing,” as well as railroad author Kenneth Springirth . About National Train Day, Gateway General Manager Lee Harkness said, “it’s a national holiday and of course we finished the train station and we did not have an open house so we thought it would be kind of a natural place to host the event.” He also said that historical societies in

Dunkirk and Buffalo joined forces to help put on the event. Harkness also shared some of the historical impact railroads have had on the region and nation via the railroad station in Jamestown. “The railroad employed a lot of people, which really helped some of the small towns come alive.” According to Harkness, the railroads also played a significant role in developing Jamestown’s economy in the mid 1800s, because of its thriving lum-

ber industry. In addition, celebrities such as Lucille Ball left for New York from Jamestown’s train station and the body of Justice Robert Jackson was returned on the rail for burial in Frewsburg, More information on the Gateway Train Station can be found at www.jamestowntrainstation.com.

Lucille Adamson Fund helped WCA Hospital purchase a digital wheelchair scale. According to Karl Sisson, WCA Director of Development, monitoring a patient’s weight is important because it ensures he or she is receiving proper nutrition and/or is not reacting negatively to on-going radiation or chemotherapy treatments. One of the benefits of having a scale designed to accommodate patients using wheelchairs is that it allows them to stay in their wheelchair while being weighed. The new scale features ramps on both sides making daily weigh-ins easier on patients and staff. The scale is also cordless and features a grab-bar which allows patients something to hold onto while being weighed. WCA Hospital’s Cancer Care Program, the only program in the region recognized for cancer care excellence by the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer, is staffed by a team of expert physicians and health care professionals under the medical direction of Theresa Pagliuca, M.D.,

board-certified radiation oncologist at the WCA Cancer Treatment Center. The program, conveniently located at 51 Glasgow Avenue in Jamestown, provides a wide range of cancer care services from routine screenings to the diagnosis and treatment of patients diagnosed with cancer. In partnership with physicians, hospital staff, and health care providers and specialists, the nationally recognized program

physically fit and capable of enduring extreme cardio, core, endurance and upper body workouts. For the serious mud runner in training, employing the assistance of a personal trainer may prove advantageous over self-training. To train for a mud run course is similar to training for the Special Forces, and requires practice being face down in the mud, picking up opponents, crawling over walls, hauling logs, climbing ropes and any race specific training. Running and getting muddy provides circumstances that are similar to a real mud run event, testing the skills of the competitor in less than ideal situations, for which a mud run has many. Practice running and getting muddy in race gear as part of the training as well to see how differently one needs to run and make sure the gear is comfortable when wet, cold and muddy. With all the extra training required for a mud run, what are the advantages over a standard two-mile jog? With the total physi-

cal and mental workout, the body feels an incredible adrenaline rush as it handles the challenge of climbing, running, swimming and crawling through mud and water and obstacles. As a group completing a mud run, members feel a sense of accomplishment, teamwork and satisfaction at the finish. Camaraderie is built around the creation of costumes for theme mud runs and the fun and memories created together. The act of training for a mud run alone requires extreme commitment and dedication, lending greater pride to the runner that successfully completes a mud run. For the women, some do mud runs because they just love to run. For others, they do mud runs for the friendships, the adrenaline rush or the great t-shirt. There are others that run for the cause, as a symbol of their struggles or as a personal challenge. Then there are the women that just aren’t afraid to get dirty. They are the women who love mud and know that it comes out in the wash.

During the fall semester of 2012, high school students in Renee Mitchener’s sculpture class had the opportunity join the AP Art students in Jenny Brown’s class on a special sculptural tour of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery. These students were inspired by the many diverse sculptures they saw on their visit, primarily the piece entitled Stainless Steel, Aluminum, Monochrome I, Built to Live Anywhere, at Home Here, created in 2010-2011 by American Artist Nancy Rubins. This piece is an abstract assemblage of aluminum boats that now hangs at the entrance to the parking lot of the Albright-Knox. After the visit, the sculpture class students worked together to construct several different giant sculptures using recycled choir chairs. The class sketched different ideas and discussed different possibilities before transforming the art room into a blank canvas

for the chair assemblage by removing the existing furniture. The chairs, donated by high school choir teacher Sue Huther, were first spray-painted with aluminum and red paint and then assembled with clear zip ties. The students experimented with symmetry and asymmetry to create a balanced overall piece. During each 80 minute class for a week a new sculpture was created then photographed. The best sculpture, as per a class vote, was submitted to the Art’scool Contest at the

Albright-Knox Art Gallery. The class named the piece ‘Assembled Together; Built to Live Anywhere, At Home Here At Southwestern,’. It was made with 21 Recycled Chairs, Metallic Silver and Red Spray Paint, Zip-ties and is approximately 12 x 12 x 8 feet. “The students involved said they all really enjoyed the process, but also found some aspects of the project challenging,” said Mitchener. “The students had to figure out how to get their ideas expressed and also how to compromise with such a large group of voices. Some students stepped into leadership roles where others were more willing to follow the lead of others. It was a great process to watch as a teacher.” Southwestern Central School has been awarded the first place prize in the 9th-12th grade category of $1200. The Art Department plans on using the prize money to install a permanent sculpture on

campus that will be welded together instead of using zip ties. A big applause goes out to the following participating students: Ashton Dent (12th), Erika Gustafson (10th), Taylor Hill (12th), Brooke Johnson (11th), Lacey Johnson (9th), Drew Kellogg (12th), Kristen Kephart (12th), Elizabeth McKotch (11th),

Marisa Pantall (12th), Fantasia Royle (10th), Lauren Siperek (12th), Meghan Siperek (9th), Mackenzie Stevenson (10th), Cody Winans (10th), and Meghan Zabala (12th). On Monday, May 13 the four SWCS art teachers Mark Kirsch, Amanda Laurin, Brown and Mitchener along with two partici-

pating art students, Kellogg and Brooke Johnson traveled to the AlbrightKnox and re-assembled this sculpture to be on display in the AlbrightKnox Gallery’s Clifton Hall with other winning entries beginning May 16 and ending June 9. The Albright Knox Gallery held an exhibition reception, on Thursday, May 16. “It was a big win for all the students, but also for the entire art department,” said Mitchener. “Anytime the arts are making positive strides it is a good thing for all of us. This is just another example of how the arts can really make a school shine. We as an art department really work to make positive impressions on our community from this project to the Empty Bowls project to the Help Portrait Project, we are always involved in something more than the classroom it seems. It is great to work with such quality professionals.”

Students paint recycled choir chairs to use in the display.

RELIGION SECTION the Weekly Word

Rev. Tim Stahlman Family Church Jamestown thenewfamilychurch.com

God’s Universal Healthcare Plan Before there was ever Obamacare or any other man made system, God determined to supply man’s need for health. There is absolutely nothing wrong with man’s attempts to heal the human body; on the contrary hospitals, doctors, and medicines are a tremendous blessing. However, the current outcry for government to provide all things for all people demonstrates that the world longs for what only the Gospel can supply: Peace and security. People crave security and are willing to give away their freedoms to get it. When we lean upon government to supply, the result is always losing more than what we could ever gain. Mark my words: As man seeks utopia away from God the less utopia there will be. The

more people seek healing from government, the less healing there will be. It’s a Biblical fact: The days are coming upon us when man’s only hope for health is found in God’s Word. Healthcare systems of man’s making will fail and people will have less and less medical attention available to them. Here is what will happen: Healthcare will eventually be a luxury for only the afﬂuent of society. When governments of the world go bankrupt, they will no longer be able to fund any government subsidized health plan. Hospitals will become cash only or credit only institutions. Insurance companies will collapse and the rapidly disappearing middle class will be on their own. I don’t know when this will happen but the writing is on the wall. Having health insurance is not

wrong; it’s wise. I am grateful to have health insurance. But as the cost of healthcare skyrockets less and less people will be able to have it. So what’s our hope? Our only hope is to develop a deep faith in God’s Word to produce health in our bodies. Our only hope is to adopt a biblical lifestyle that promotes spiritual, mental, and physical health. Proverbs 4:20-22 says, “My son attend to my words (the Bible); incline your ear to my sayings. Let them not depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart. For they (God’s Words) are life to all those that find them and health to all their ﬂesh.” God’s Word is a spoken hospital. God has healing on His breath. His Words are so sharp they literally penetrate each human cell and work a cure where one is needed.

His Word can perform surgeries without leaving a scar. His Word is the scalpel and the needle. God’s Word is what medical science hopes to be one day. Now you will think differently about your Bible. For God’s Words to produce health in your body, they must be diligently obeyed and meditated upon. They must be put into practice and they must be spoken upon your lips. Jesus healed a diseased man in John 5:14 and said, “… sin no more, lest a worse thing (disease) come upon you.” Healing is not just a one time display; it is to be lived in our lifestyle. God designed our physical well being to respond to our spiritual well being. (Prov 14:30) Over the next several weeks in this column, I will be teaching the Biblical principles that promote bodily health.

catholic corner By Shirley HilburgerStratton Star Contributing Writer

Saint Edith Stein Edith Stein was born October 12, 1891 in Breslau Germany, the youngest of eleven children of a devout Jewish family. As a child, Edith faithfully accompanied her mother to synagogue, but what actually moved her, “was her mother’s complete absorption in God rather than any of the religious ceremony.” In spite of this background, Edith lost her faith at the age of 14 and gave up praying. But she remained a seeker of truth. At the age of twenty-one, as a university student,

Edith attended a lecture and the words she heard thrilled her and the light of faith broke in on her. Edith Stein began to read the New Testament and formerly unnoticed coincidences in her life took on the aspect of signs of God’s loving providence. One evening Edith picked up an autobiography of St. Teresa of Avila and read this book all night. When she had fi nished the book, she said to herself: “This is the truth.” Later, looking back on her life, she wrote: “My longing for truth was a single prayer.” What Edith Stein found in Teresa’s autobiography was that God is not a God of knowledge, God is love. God does not reveal his

mysteries to deductive intelligence but to the heart that surrenders itself to God. According to Teresa, interior prayer is the setting where this inner resistance begins to be healed and transformed. Only hearts that are emptied and silent can be penetrated by grace, with its power to form people into the loving persons we are meant to be. As she grasped the doctrines of faith, Edith came to the realization that the deeper one is drawn to God, the more one needs to go outside oneself – out into the world, to carry divine life into it. For Edith Stein, interior prayer and exterior action were inseparable. When one abandons their future to God, one takes

on another obligation: to reﬂect this inner experience of God to the world. Because Edith Stein regarded love of neighbor as an essential form of Christianity, she insisted that the follower of Christ move beyond charity, which makes affection a handout, and achieve a state of solidarity with those in need of support. Edith valued mutual communication of individuals in a community. Belonging to a community was a personal necessity, something that vitally affects ones identity. Edith Stein vigorously opposed Nazism from the onset. Though a Catholic convert, she refused to deny her Jewish heritage. As the

activity of the Nazi’s continued to oppress, Edith in her fi nal letters returned to this central theme: do everything you can to bring joy to others; let God guide you without resistance; and fi ll up the emptiness of your heart with love of God and neighbor. It became evident that Edith would become a victim of the holocaust and she wrote, “I joyfully accept in advance the death God has appointed for me, in perfect submission of his holy will.” Edith Stein, a mystic, brilliant and prolific writer was gassed in Auschwitz on August 9, 1942. On that day it was observed that Edith held the hand of her sister Rosa, as they were led to the chambers.

edwards and Spanos announce two vacancies on OFa advisory council OFA LOOKS FOR NEW COUNCIL MEMBERS TO HELP GUIDE SENIOR SERVICES Contributed Article County Executive Greg Edwards

Chautauqua County Executive Greg Edwards and Office for the Aging Director Dr. MaryAnn Spanos are seeking two individuals from Southern Chautauqua County or the Jamestown area to serve on the Office for the Aging Advisory Council. “This year our Office for the Aging is celebrating their 40th Anniversary,” said Edwards. “Over the last four decades, the OFA has expanded their services and continues to be dedicated to and successful in

their mission to help our county’s seniors. Many of these successes are through the leadership of Dr. Spanos and the excellent work of her staff, but our continued success would not be possible without the dedicated residents who are willing to serve and volunteer their time on the Office for the Aging Advisory Council. It is through their involvement and feedback that our OFA is able to refine, strengthen, and create services that meet seniors’ needs.” The Office for the Aging Advisory Council was first formed in 1973 by Local Law 4-73. The Council consists of the Director of

the Office for the Aging (OFA), OFA’s Nutrition Director, two legislators, and 10 members of the public. The council advises the OFA Director on matters concerning the elderly, provides feedback on new initiatives for seniors, administers guidance on services, helps determine costs for new programs, notifies the director about important issues to highlight in articles for seniors, selects annual recipients for the Susan Yager and Elias Laughlin awards, and is instrumental in determining the use of the proceeds for the Mac McCoy/Office for the Aging Memorial Fund.

The Council also provides advice for the OFA’s focal points of delivery, information and referral services, advocacy, and any other services provided by the OFA. Potential members should be either consumers of senior services or caregivers of seniors and should have some background in working with the elderly. “We are looking for anyone who feels they can contribute to our operations and shape our delivery of services,” said Dr. Spanos. “Our council members have found their involvement on the council to be rewarding and we look forward to

adding two new members to our team.” The council meets quarterly and usually holds lunch meetings with two held in Mayville, one in the North County, and one in South County. Members serve a two year term and have the opportunity to be reappointed after their initial term has expired. Citizens interested in being considered to serve on the council should submit their contact information and a brief biography to the County Executive’s Office by Friday, June 14, 2013. Letters of interest can be emailed to edwardsg@ co.chautauqua.ny.us, faxed

to (716) 753-4756 or mailed to: Chautauqua County, Executive Greg Edwards, Office of the County Executive, Gerace Office Building, 3 North Erie St., Mayville, NY 14757. For additional information about the application process please call the County Executive’s Office at (716) 753-4211. For additional information on the duties and responsibilities of the council, please contact Dr. MaryAnn Spanos at (716) 753-4471.

2013 chautauqua prize awarded

CHAUTAUQUA INSTITUTION VISITOR’S CENTER, CONTINUED FROM PG 1

Contributed Article

being based on the shores of Chautauqua Lake, the place comes alive with activity during a nine-week time period each summer. The 2013 season is scheduled to begin on June 22 and run through August 25. Over the course of a typical season, it is estimated over 100,000 visitors will stay and participate in programs, lectures and activities offered in the arts, education, religion and recreation areas. Each of the nine weeks during the summer carries a theme that is developed throughout the week in various venues, including the distinguished guest speaker series held in their 4,000-seat amphitheater. While visits to Chautauqua Institution vary, the most popular length of stay on the grounds is one week, with that time period found to have been the most adequate amount of time to experience all that the non-profit adult education center and summer resort has to offer. The Institution was found-

ed in 1874 and has operated each summer since. It gradually expanded its season length and program offerings organized around four pillars: arts, education, religion and recreation. Local residents and visitors from literally all over the world attend public events that include theater, symphony, ballet, opera and visual arts exhibitions. Weinert says the community’s excitement about the visitors center is growing. “We will now be able to guide visitors through the registration process, suggest what they should consider doing during their stay and help introduce them to Chautauqua Institution and the entire community,” says Weinert. “People can think of it almost as a class, ‘Chautauqua 101’ if you will. We are really looking forward to opening it because we believe it will help attract even more people to our wonderful community.”

Chautauqua Institution

Chautauqua Institution is delighted to announce Short Nights of the Shadow Catcher (Houghton Mifﬂ in Harcourt) by Timothy Egan as the 2013 winner of The Chautauqua Prize. As author of the winning book, Egan receives $7,500 and all travel and expenses for a one-week summer residency at Chautauqua, a not-for-profit educational and cultural center in southwestern New York state. He will host a public reading and book signing on Wednesday, July 10, on the Institution grounds. “Given the history of Chautauqua, and its role as a summer retreat for lovers of history, art, brisk argument and the written word, I couldn’t be more thrilled to be a small part of this,” said Egan, a Pulitzer Prizewinning writer for The New York Times and the best-selling author of six books. “You’ve helped to give the subject of my book, the American Indian photographer Edward Curtis,

a bit of a renaissance.” Now in its second year, The Chautauqua Prize is a national prize that celebrates a book of fiction or literary/ narrative nonfiction that provides a richly rewarding reading experience and honors the author for a significant contribution to the literary arts. Short Nights of the Shadow Catcher is a nonfiction account of Edward Curtis’ early-20th-century quest to document the lives of 80 American Indian tribes. Chautauqua Prize reviewers described the book as “compelling” and “exhaustive,” and noted that Egan, who won the 2006 National Book Award for The Worst Hard Time, “captures in language what Curtis expresses in photography.” “Chautauqua is very proud to honor Timothy Egan and Short Nights of the Shadow Catcher with the 2013 Chautauqua Prize,” said Sherra Babcock, Chautauqua Institution vice president and Emily and Richard Smucker Chair for Education, who coordinates the prize selection process. “Egan writes with such lyrical prose that Edward Curtis and his obsession to document the Native American haunted me long after I read the last sentence.” Short Nights of the Shadow Catcher was chosen from a finalist shortlist that includes five other outstanding titles: Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk (Ecco) by Ben Fountain; The Presidents Club (Simon & Schuster) by Nancy Gibbs and Michael Duffy; Devil in the Grove (Harper) by Gilbert King; The Song of Achilles (Ecco) by Mad-

eline Miller; and The Names of Things (Ashland Creek Press) by John Colman Wood. Chautauqua Institution received 125 books from 67 publishers as nominations for the 2013 Chautauqua Prize, each evaluated by three reviewers representing a panel of Chautauquans who are professionally involved with books and the literary arts. Thirty titles received recommendations from at least two of the three reviewers and advanced to the longlist stage. A three-person, independent, anonymous jury chose the fi nalists and winner. The hallmark of The Chautauqua Prize is its focus not only on the literary quality or the writing, but on the reading experience as judged by thoughtful, experienced Chautauqua readers. With a history steeped in the literary arts, Chautauqua Institution is home to the Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle, founded in 1878, which honors nine outstanding books of fiction, nonfiction, essays and poetry every summer. Short Nights of the Shadow Catcher will count toward members’ reading lists (though not officially designated as a CLSC selection), ensuring continued readership by

thousands of active readers. Further literary arts programming at Chautauqua includes summer-long interaction of published and aspiring writers at the Chautauqua Writers’ Center, the intensive workshops of the nationally recognized Chautauqua Writers’ Festival, and lectures by prominent authors on the art and craft of writing. The preeminent expression of lifelong learning in the United States, Chautauqua Institution is a 139-year-old community on the shores of Chautauqua Lake in southwestern New York state that comes alive each summer with a unique mix of fi ne and performing arts, lectures, interfaith worship and programs, and recreational activities. Over the course of nine weeks, more than 100,000 people visit Chautauqua and participate in programs, classes and community events for all ages — all within the beautiful setting of a historic lakeside village. Details on The Chautauqua Prize are available online at http://www.ciweb. org/prize. Books published in 2013 will be accepted as submissions for the 2014 prize beginning Sept. 9, 2013.

worrying mom happy. Our first experience with the Clarion River was aboard canoes. After some shifting around to quell arguments, we worked our way down the river with the kids in one canoe with my oldest at the oars and my fiancé and I in another. Having canoed in late summer the river was low and we were hung up several times while the kids who were lighter and therefore faster quickly passed us by then laughed when we accidentally overturned our boat. Other years we have visited the Clarion River and Cook Forest we have chosen to tube down the river. Both activities have been the highlight of each trip and were welcome activities on hot summer days. There are several river outfitters providing canoes, kayaks and tubes to rent to tourists. Cook Forest has proven to be a family favorite for a quick getaway. I encourage to check it out this summer.

dFt communications announces $200K Fiber-Optic network expansion BUILD INCLUDES SITES IN JAMESTOWN AND FALCONER Contributed Article DFT Communications

Businesses on Jamestown’s East Side and in the village of Falconer will now be able to take advantage of new data and voice services offered by DFT Communications as it expands its fiber-optic network in the area. Through a licensed agreement with the Jamestown’s Board of Public Utilities and Windstream Communications, the fiber build will cover the areas from Falconer Central School on East Main Street to Buffalo, Tiffany, Hopkins, Allen and on to East Fifth and Second Streets in the city of Jamestown. According to Vice President of Operations, David Pihl, DFT Communications is building 7.2 miles of new fiber optic cable and supported infrastructure in the area at an approximate cost of $200,000, with plans to begin turning up customers by the end of May. DFT officials say the expanded service will increase savings for customers using multiple phone lines and allow faster Internet speeds with symmetrical service, which uses equal upload and down-

load speeds of up to 1 GB, in contrast to typical DSL service, which has slower upload speeds. “DFT is a competitive carrier that is bringing competitive voice and data services to the area,” says Pihl. “We know that we can compete and save business customers money; we have a track record of doing that.”

Ellen Ditonto, Director of Sales and Business Development adds, “Over the last 10 years, DFT Communications has addressed the growing voice and data needs of businesses in southern Chautauqua County, with particular emphasis on the industrial and business corridors in Jamestown and Falconer.” Ditonto continued, “We provide excellent service at competitive prices and give businesses maximum ﬂexibility as they experience growth and change in their industries. The fiber build in East Jamestown and the village of Falconer was planned and executed because of increasing customer demand.” According to Pihl, an-

other benefit to fiber-based services is scale – as a business, or its phone or Internet usage grows - the service can easily grow as well. As an example, if a business is currently utilizing a 5 MB upload and download speed connection, it can easily be scaled to a 100 MB circuit with a simple program change. Fiber connections, as opposed to a copper or hybrid copper and fiber, also provide low latency, which improves high-speed transmittal for voice and data services, another characteristic making the service highly valuable. In addition, with cloudbased or hosted computing service applications on the rise, customers can now connect to remote servers over fiber from their location, saving money on expensive computer hardware. Formerly, businesses invested thousands of dollars on phone systems, which required the purchase of expensive hardware, telephones and a large box housing the system in a closet or other secured area. With a hosted service, businesses can simply place new phone sets on a desk and connect them to their data network and run the service over a hosted VoIP (Voice-over Internet Protocol) system. As well as reducing equipment costs, a hosted or cloud-based system can reduce operating costs because the host system resides upstream at the provider’s location and they provide the maintenance, software upgrades and technical support.

This can help to reduce costs by eliminating onsite upgrades, repairs and annual software fees. “You don’t maintain equipment you don’t own,” Pihl says, adding that when a phone service moves over to VoIP, so too can its phone numbers. DFT Communications is a local company and its focus is on customer service excellence. According to Ditonto, DFT has certified network and telephone system technicians who are available on a 24/7 basis for support. “We pride ourselves on our local presence and the fact that our employees live and work in the region,” Ditonto said. “We not only help a customer during the sales process but we are there long

after the sale.” In addition, Pihl said DFT Communications is also building a redundant fiber-optic network from Jamestown to Cassadaga, slated for completion by the end of the summer. The network will provide geographic diversity by utilizing multiple fiber cables from Fredonia to Cassadaga and Jamestown. Businesses interested in learning more about connecting to DFT’s new fiber network on Jamestown’s East Side are invited to call 673-3000 or 1-877653-3100. DFT Communications is located at 40 Temple Street in Fredonia and has a customer service center at 332 Fluvanna Avenue, Jamestown.

LOST PLACES, CONTINUED FROM PG 1

The sketch used to depict runaway slaves on the cover of Pettit’s book was deemed offensive and inaccurate when it was published. However, it was found to have come from the national anti-slavery society, and was later used on posters by slave catchers.

2,000 may have passed through the county. According to surveyor Wendy WoodburyStraight, who has researched the Eber Pettit and Darwin Barker families of Fredonia and their ties to the U.G.R.R., many of the railroad’s houses are gone, and those living in structures still standing today may not even be aware of their homes’ history. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that the story of escaping slaves willing to risk it all for freedom might become romanticized or altered over the years. Add to that, everything was done in secret - even the “language” of the U.G.R.R. used the metaphor of the railroad as a code of sorts.

“Sketches of the U.G.R.R.” However, the book, “Sketches in the History of the Underground Railroad,” by Eber Pettit helped to shed some light on the U.G.R.R.’s places, people and times, giving Straight and her colleague, retired SUNY professor Doug Shepard, a platform to investigate other pieces of its history still uncovered. Offering a haven for slaves appears to be something that Pettit learned from his father, who was also a conductor, said to have run a station on Chestnut Street in Fredonia, according to Pettit. First published in The Fredonia Censor in 1868, Pettit’s book contains his

a true Hometown Hero VaN miLLer goLf tourNameNt Set for JuNe 14

By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

The name ‘Van Miller’ elicits a myriad of memories in Chautauqua County — and all of Western New York for that matter. Miller, a Dunkirk native, was the voice of the Buffalo Bills for 37 years after getting his radio start on WFCB, now WDOE. On Friday, June 14, Lake Shore Saving Bank will present the Fourth Annual Van Miller Hometown Hero Golf Tournament at Shorewood Country Club. “The tournament is a good way to bring back that feeling that Dunkirk produces great people,” chairman Sally Graves said. “We thought students in Dunkirk had lost sight of that fact.” The tournament is open to both single golfers and foursomes. Entry forms can be picked up at any of the Lake Shore Savings Bank branches. “The whole idea is to have fun,” Graves added. “Van comes down and he rides around and talks to golfers. It’s fun.” The tournament raises money for the Van Miller Hometown Hero Scholarship Fund, which awards two $1,000 scholarships every year to graduating seniors of Dunkirk High School. “It’s hard to say how much has been raised,” Graves said. “Van and his wife Gloria have contributed heavily to the fun. They’ve contributed their own money to make this sure scholarship will go on for a long time.” In 2012, the scholarships were awarded to Tyler Gajewski and Markel Vega. This year, former Buffalo Bills safety Mark Kelso will be the emcee. Kelso played for the Bills from 1986-1993 and was part of all four of the Super Bowl teams. His fi nest season came in 1988 when he recorded seven interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown.

Jamestown Community College

Christopher Nowinski will be on hand to discuss “Head Games,” a documentary on concussion-related injuries, at JCC’s Jamestown Campus on May 31. The event, free and open to the public, begins with a reception at 7:30 p.m. in the Scharmann Theatre lobby, followed by the fi lm screening at 8. Inspired by events from his book Head Games, Nowinski, a former Ivy League football star and WWE wrestler, interviewer Bob Costas of NBC Sports, NHL all-star Keith Primeau, Olympic women’s soccer gold medalist Cindy Parlow Cone, and others on the dangers of head concussions, prompting viewers to ask themselves, “How much of you are you willing to lose for a game?” A panel discussion intended for parents, students interested in a medical field, student-athletes, athletic administrators, school nurses, youth, high school, and college coaches, as well as other medical professionals involved in the care of student-athletes will be held after the fi lm.

mLB upside down at quarter point The Fourth Annual Van Miller Hometown Hero Golf Tournament will be held Friday, June 14 at Shorewood Country Club. This year’s emcee will be former Buffalo Bills safety Mark Kelso.

“We’re so lucky to have Mark Kelso coming,” Graves continued. “In the past we’ve had John Murphy here. Last year, Jim Kelly showed up as a favor to Van. The first year New Channel 4 came down and did their weather and sports from the tournament.” Graves’ family has known Miller for a very long time and she had some great stories to share about the local legend. “Van got his start in my uncle’s backyard,” she said. “The kids would be playing football and Van would pick up a hose and use it as a microphone. He relied on my uncle as a father figure. That’s one of the reasons I got involved.” Registration for the tournament is open now,

but will also start the morning of the event at 8:30 a.m. with a shotgun start at 10:00 a.m. There are a number of different sponsorship opportunities and donations to this event are always welcome. There is also a dinner-only package available for the non-golfers. “The heart and soul is Dunkirk High School and what it’s given to us,” Graves concluded. “The other part of it is Lake Shore Savings bank and the support we get from them. I would give credit to Stephanie Polvino. She’s the creator and the thinker and the pusher. She’s the one who got the event started.” For more information, contact Wendy Harrington at 366-4070 ext. 1260.

Before the Major League Baseball season started, I made my predictions on how the season would play out. I evaluated rosters, tracked free agent moves, analyzed last season’s stats and also just went on instinct. “If you try to predict like everybody else around baseball, you end up making yourself look like a (fool).” Those were the words of Baltimore Orioles outfielder Adam Jones at the beginning of the season when people in the media were calling for the O’s to slip after their shockingly good 2012 campaign. Well, Mr. Jones, count me among those who now look like a fool. Now I don’t know how to grow asparagus and I couldn’t tell you the first thing about cattle. I wouldn’t be able to lay concrete if my life depended on it and my political knowledge is elementary at best. But if there’s one thing on this planet that I know — and not just because it’s my job — it’s baseball. I have been a stat geek from the time I could read — old school stats, none of this WAR garbage. That’s why it pains me to admit just how wrong I’ve been through the first quarter of the MLB season. When your opinions get published, it’s hard to run from them. So here’s a brief rundown of what’s been going on in baseball so far this season:

If I can manage to get this foot out of my mouth long enough, I’ll apologize to the New York Yankees. They currently sit in first place in the AL East even after debilitating injuries to some key cogs. I had them finishing last. Now, their pitching rotation is still ridiculously old, so it’s possible a couple guys break down halfway through the season, but for now they’re clicking on all cylinders. Two other teams I was wrong on in that division are the Toronto Blue Jays and the Baltimore Orioles. Somehow Toronto’s rotation is its weak link and losing Jose Reyes to an ankle injury nearly assures Canadian baseball fans of a last-place finish. The O’s ContinUED on pG 5

Channel catfish have also started to move into the lower sections of the tributaries, settling into deeper holes. Fishing at night with nightcrawlers, raw shrimp, chicken livers or cut bait on the bottom could have you hooked into a huge catfish. The lower section of Cattaraugus Creek and near the mouth of Eighteenmile Creek are top locations. Shore anglers can also target catfish along the Lake Erie shoreline on calm nights, especially near stream inlets.

diViSioN 1 titLeS CoNtiNued from pg 1 On the softball field, it was Fredonia knocking off Dunkirk 2-1 for its first CCAA Division 1 title since 2009. Baylee Tarnowski was in the circle for the Lady Hillbillies and allowed just four hits and one walk while striking out six. The Lady Marauders scored one run in the first on a throwing error, but Tarnowski settled down to throw a shutout the rest of the way. Joyce Bomasuto was

nearly as good for Dunkirk. Fredonia tied the score at one on a series of throwing errors in the fourth inning, then scored the go-ahead run in the sixth on a single, sacrifice bunt, fielder’s choice and a wild pitch. In all, Bomasuto allowed three hits and four walks while striking out six. But the day belonged to Fredonia, which celebrated a hard-earned division title and will now look to make some noise in the playoffs.

dugaN’S StreaK CoNtiNued from pg 1 The streak ended abruptly on Tuesday, however, as the Lady Thunderbirds scored in the first inning on an RBI single by Ashley Moulton. The Lady Hornets (10-1) used a pair of hits and four RBI from Lizzy Gilman to take control of the backand-forth contest and can now enjoy their third consecutive division title. “They’re hitting a lot of

nice solid line drives,” Hazelton added of her offense. “Precious Kaczor has a couple home runs this season.” For a team that has won back-to-back Section 6 titles only to lose in the Far West Regionals, the division titles and the scoreless streak of just the appetizers. With playoffs slated to begin this weekend, the Lady Hornets hope the main course is yet to come.

quite as far as I expected on contact, but beggars can’t be choosers. I had a real good look at par, but my putter abandoned me and I settled for bogey. As much as I usually love No. 2, the opposite can be said for No. 3. It’s a short par 4, but holy smokes do my tee shots end up in horrible places — underneath hanging branches, behind trees, in super-thick rough, etc. This time, though, I tattooed my tee shot right down the fairway again. I followed with a fat pig of a pitching wedge that came up short of the green. There, however, I made possibly my best shot of the day. I’ve been working hard on chipping with my 4-hybrid. Being terrible with a 60˚ wedge, it seems like a good skill to have. Well my practice paid off here because I nearly holed it in from the fairway, prompting Scott’s jaw to nearly hit the ground because he didn’t know I’d been practicing that. Hillview features two extremes on its two par 3’s. The first is very short, downhill and over a pond. Even I can get it there with a pitching wedge. The second, No. 9, is crazy far. In the dozens of times I’ve played the course, I’ve never hit the green from the tee. Granted, I don’t even know what club to use, but I’ve never recorded a par on the hole.

By the time we reached No. 9, the weather was perfectly clear (I’m surprised it didn’t wait until we were back in the car). I decided to use my 3-wood because I always come up short with a hybrid. Tee shot — perfect — straight as can be, distance felt right and then BAM! the ball stopped. I hit the darn rope that keeps carts off the green. I knew golf was frustrating, but all you can do there is smile and ponder the odds of that happening. Hillview is a great course for golfers of all skill levels. There aren’t too many hazards, just a few ponds, but I like that. It allows me to really practice hitting my irons without worrying about the bunker on the left, etc. For a new golfer, I don’t need the added pressure of losing a ball in addition to two strokes if I slice into the water. But for the more experienced golfers, holes like No. 7 are very tricky. Your tee shot has to be a little to the right because the green is almost hidden by a grove of trees. Some of the greens can also be a little difficult based on pin position.

tip of tHe WeeK:

Keep your lead arm straight on the backswing. This will force you to turn at the hips and shoulders and that is how you generate power, not with just your arms.

This weekly feature will take a more personal look at one of our area’s fantastic high school coaches. Athletes come and go, but it’s the coaches that really make Chautauqua County sports what they are. Darin Beckerink has been a teacher at Southwestern Central School for the past 12 years. He spent seven years coaching jayvee baseball, took a year off and then took over the varsity baseball team. In a short amount of time, Beckerink has helped turn the entire program around. The Trojans have been able to hang with the best Western New York has to offer the past few seasons. Q: What made you want to start coaching? Beckerink: “I’ve always played baseball through my life. I went to St. John Fisher to play baseball and ended up having Tommy John surgery that basically ended my baseball career. I decided to become a teacher and start coaching.” Q: What is your absolute favorite thing about coaching? Beckerink: “I like just seeing the kids develop and get better. I’ve had some great players come through. They’re all doing well right now. Seeing the kids get better and getting them into college is rewarding; watching them develop as humans and good citizens.” Q: What have you found to be the hardest part of coaching? Beckerink: “Obviously the

losses are hard, but that comes with the game. The hardest part would be you get so attached to the kids. You want to see things go well for them and it’s tough when it doesn’t. This year we’re having a tough year. It’s tough to watch these kids work hard every day and then come out and have one or two innings that destroys things for them. It’s going to happen, but it’s tough.” Q: What has been your proudest moment as a coach? Beckerink: “There are a lot of proud moments. One of my proudest is I have a kid who is at Mercyhurst right now and there’s talk of him being drafted this year — Tanner Delahoy. I coached Tanner since he was like 12 years old and he’s been like a son to me all those years. You have a lot of those moments. Whenever they do anything successful you’re proud of them.” Q: Has there been anyone that has inﬂuenced your coaching career? Beckerink: “My high school coach, Bob Schmidt from Frewsburg, is the one I would say. He’s a great guy. I even talk to him now and get his input on things nowadays.” Q: Do you have any personal goals set for the future? Beckerink: “I don’t really, just keep plugging along. I’m looking forward to seeing this team come together at the end of the season. They’re coming around. Maybe we can make a run there. I’ll just continue to do what I do and have fun doing it.”

Buddy nix steps Down as Bills GM

By John Wawrow AP Sports Writer

Buddy Nix is stepping down as the Buffalo Bills general manager, the team announced on Monday. Nix will remain with the team in a new role as special assistant, the Bills said in a released statement. Assistant GM Doug Whaley, entering his fourth season in Buffalo, is expected to take over. He was signed to a long-term contract extension in January. Though the Bills did not immediately announce Nix's replacement, the team has spent much of the offseason grooming Whaley, a former executive with the Steelers and a former player at Pitt, to take over. The move did not come as a surprise, and comes after Nix oversaw the draft in which the Bills opened by selecting quarterback EJ Manuel. Nix and team president Russ Brandon were set to discuss the move later

from the general manager's position because I feel it is the right time,'' Nix said. ''By the right time, I think we have a good young roster, an excellent head coach with a good staff. And it's time to let someone else handle these responsibilities and move forward together.'' Nix had previously said he would be interested in stepping down once he felt the team had a franchise quarterback in place and was prepared to move in the right direction. ''I feel strongly that the team is on the right course for success,'' Nix said. The Bills are rebuilding from scratch once again under new coach Doug Marrone, who was hired in January Buffalo Bills general manager Buddy after turning around a struggling Nix stands on the field before an NFL program at Syracuse. football game against the New York Jets, Sunday, Dec. 30, 2012, in Orchard Marrone replaced Chan Gailey, who Park, N.Y.

ironmen’s Gerdes to play Division 1 Hockey By Randy Russon Jamestown Ironmen and NAHL.com

North Division champs. "Hopefully we can continue our winning ways," Gerdes said of the Ironmen, who are 6-0 in this spring's playoffs. "It would be amazing to fi nish off this season by winning the Robertson Cup." Gerdes made a point of saying he wanted to "thank everyone in the Ironmen organization for helping me achieve my dream of playing Division 1. Dan Daikawa and Yuji Iwamoto are great coaches who really helped me become a better player." Daikawa, the coach-general manager and architect of the success of the North Division champion Ironmen, praised Gerdes for an exceptional season to date. "First off, we are very excited for Luc to continue his hockey and his education at such a great school like Colorado College," said Daikawa. "He has been a big part of the success we have had in Jamestown this season, scoring big goals and being a good leader. He will learn a lot from the great staff at CC and we wish him a lot of success in the future." While not of French Canadian descent, Gerdes was named after one of the most-prolific scorers to ever play in the National Hockey League, Luc Robitaille. Robitaille, who is from Montreal, Quebec, played 20 seasons in the NHL before retiring in 2006. A ninth-round pick of the Los Angeles Kings in 1984, Robitaille went on to play in close to 1,700 NHL games. Playoffs included, Robitaille scored an amazing 726 goals. Nicknamed "Lucky Luc", Robitaille started and fi nished his NHL career with Los Angeles, while also playing for the Pittsburgh Penguins, New York Rangers and Detroit Red Wings in between. Robitaille was a favorite player of Tom Gerdes, who named his son Luc after the NHL star. "I loved Luc Robitaille and the way he played," said the elder Gerdes. "My wife wanted to name our son Lucas but I just wanted to name him Luc after Lucky Luc! I don't often get my way but my wife let me have my way that day." So, it's off to Colorado College in the fall for Gerdes of the Ironmen. And considering the way the season has gone for him thus far, he just might feel like "Lucky Luc."

Colorado College, a respected Division 1, National Collegiate Athletic Association school, has committed to another top player from the North Division of the North American Hockey League for the 2013-2014 season. Luc Gerdes, a forward from the North Division champion Jamestown Ironmen, is off to Colorado College where he will become a teammate of goalie Tyler Marble. Marble was recently named the NAHL's all-league goalie for the 2012-2013 regular season in backstopping the Soo Eagles to a fi rst-place fi nish in the North Division.

Tiger Wins Players Championship As Garcia Stumbles MLB Power Rankings By Mark Long AP Sports Writer

One bad tee shot made Tiger Woods appear vulnerable. One clutch par putt and a critical birdie made him look invincible. Woods closed out The Players Championship on Sunday like he has so many other tournaments: hitting big shot after big shot down the stretch. His latest unflappable finish helped him secure his fourth victory of 2013 and capture the richest prize on the PGA Tour for the first time in a dozen years. ''I know a lot of people ... thought I was done,'' said Woods, who has never won four times this early in a season. ''But I'm not.'' This one had to be special. Woods won on Mother's Day for the second time in his career, but also won the final showdown against Sergio Garcia after a weekend filled with tense stares and sharp words. Woods and Garcia were tied for the lead with two holes to play before heading in opposite directions. Woods kept his shots on land and made two pars. Garcia hit three balls into the water for a quadruple bogey-double bogey finish. If there was any satisfaction in beating Garcia again, Woods kept that to himself. ''We just go out there and play,'' said Woods, who earned $1.71 million and pushed his season total to over $5.8 million in just seven tournaments. ''I had an opportunity to win the golf tournament when I was tied for the lead today, and I thought I handled

the situation well and really played well today when I really needed to. And that's something I'm excited about.'' Woods allowed the final hour to turn into a tense duel by hooking his tee shot into the water on the par-4 14th hole for double bogey. But his short game bailed him out to save par on the 15th and make a sand-save birdie on the 16th. He was solid on the final two holes for a 2-under 70. Garcia's finish was messy. The Spaniard was standing at the 17th tee, staring across to the island green as Woods made his par. He took aim at the flag with his wedge and hung his head when he saw the ball splash short of the green. Then, Garcia hit another one in the water on his way to a quadruple-bogey 7. The meltdown was complete when Garcia hit his tee shot into the water on the 18th. ''It's always nice to have a chance at beating the No. 1 player in the world, but unfortunately for me, I wasn't able to this week,'' Garcia said.

Woods finished on 13-under 275. He won The Players for the first time since 2001 and became the fifth multiple winner at TPC Sawgrass since The Players moved to this former swamp in 1982. It was his 78th career win on the PGA Tour, four short of the record held by Sam Snead. Lingmerth closed with a 72 and finished two shots behind, along with Kevin Streelman (67) and Jeff Maggert, who also was tied for the lead until finding the water on the 17th to make double bogey. The 49-year-old Maggert birdied the 18th for a 70. Garcia took 13 shots to cover the final two holes - 6 over par - and tumbled into a tie for eighth. Their dispute started Saturday when Garcia complained that his shot from the par-5 second fairway was disrupted by cheers from the crowd around Woods, who was some 50 yards away in the trees and fired them up by taking a fairway metal out of his bag. He said Woods should have been paying attention, and it became a war of the

words the next two days. ''Not real surprising that he's complaining about something,'' Woods said. ''At least I'm true to myself,'' Garcia retorted. ''I know what I'm doing, and he can do whatever he wants.'' Woods and Garcia played four tension-free holes to complete the third round Sunday morning, and they shook hands without words when they finished - Woods with a 71, Garcia with a 72 to share the 54-hole lead with Lingmerth. Afterward, Garcia kept at it, saying Woods is ''not the nicest guy on tour.'' Woods had the last laugh along with the Players trophy. He improved to 53-4 in his PGA Tour career when he has at least a share of the lead going into the final round. Garcia, when asked if he would have changed anything about the flap with Woods, replied, ''It sounds like I was the bad guy here. I was the victim. I don't have any regrets of anything.'' The real villain was the tricky island green. It was at the 17th hole where Garcia won The Players in 2008 when Paul Goydos hit into the water in a sudden-death playoff. This time, the island green got its revenge. Garcia hit a wedge and felt he caught it just a little bit thin, which is usually all it takes. ''That hole has been good to me for the most part,'' Garcia said. ''Today, it wasn't. That's the way it is. That's the kind of hole it is. You've got to love it for what it is.''

Commentary continued from pg 1 meanwhile, continue to win. This season, though, the team isn’t just smoke and mirrors. These guys can hit. Chris Davis, Adam Jones and Manny Machado are scary good and castoff Nate McLouth is enjoying a resurgance. The Boston Red Sox, though suffering a tough week, are bouncing back as I expected and the Tampa Bay Rays are mediocre — also like I called it. The Central is playing out just about how I predicted, with the exception of a recent hot streak by the Cleveland Indians. They’re good, but not first-place good. The Detroit Tigers are first-place good and Miguel Cabrera might actually be playing better than he did last year when he won the Triple Crown. The young Kansas City Royals are coming together behind a strong rotation while the Minnesota Twins are somehow hovering around .500. The Chicago White Sox are in last place due to a complete inability by anyone to get on base. The West makes me cringe a little bit. I drank the Kool Aid on the Los Angeles Angels. I thought TroutPujols-Hamilton-Trumbo would be an unstoppable wrecking ball. Well only one of those guys is hitting — and it’s Mark Trumbo. The Angels are barely holding off the miserable Houston Astros at the bottom of the division. The Seattle Mariners are what they usually are — a team with some stud

majors. But now that John Buck has stopped hitting, David Wright is all alone in that offense. The Marlins are just awful. Why anyone shows up at that albatross of a stadium to watch that joke of a team is beyond me. The NL Central is also nearly going as planned. The St. Louis Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds have picked up their rivalry from the past few years and will continue to battle at the top of the division. The Pittsburgh Pirates have used strong pitching performances from A.J. Burnett and Wandy Rodriguez to settle into a National League solid third place ahead of I feel much better about the Milwuakee Brewers, myself in the National who just can’t do anything League, where so far the right.

Let’s start with and Michael Young in the down: The Los Angeles 2006 would have been one Dodgers. After spending a of the greatest infields ever boatload of money to bring assembled.

The San Francisco in his first full season in the pitchers but no offense. The Oakland A’s came out like gangbusters but have cooled substantially thanks to a couple outfield injuries. The Texas Rangers, though, are infinitely better than I could have guessed. I thought the loss of Josh Hamilton would be too much to overcome. I was wrong. I thought the pitching just wouldn’t be good enough. I was wrong again as Yu Darvish might just be the best pitcher in baseball right now. The Rangers are comfortably ahead in the division and look like a shoe-in for a playoff spot.

Giants, on the other hand, have been great. Troubled starters Tim Lincecum and Barry Zito are back in form, questions about the offense have been answered and Madison Bumgarner is in the early Cy Young conversation. I went way out on a limb and predicted good things from a Colorado Rockies team that was putrid in 2012. Well, I actually look smart because between Dexter Fowler, Troy Tulowitzki, Carlos Gonzalez and Michael Cuddyer (recently went to the DL), this team can flat out rake. Home or road, it makes no difference. The pitching has been better than advertised as these guys hang around in the West. The Diamondbacks have rode unheralded stars Gerardo Parra and Paul Goldschmidt to a great start to 2013. Patrick Corbin (5-0, 1.75 ERA) has somehow flown under the radar despite an unbelievable stretch to open the season. Oh yeah, in other news, the San Diego Padres still have a team — they aren’t any good. So maybe predictions in February can seem a little silly in retrospect, but they’re also fun. Unfortunately, I have to own up to my mistakes, but I’ll also continue to root for the Jays just a little bit each day so I can look that much smarter at my mid-season review.

These weekly power rankings are based on more than just standings. They are the opinion of just one person and meant to facilitate discussion. Feel free to disagree with the rankings and send your thoughts to stefan.gestwicki@star-mediagroup.com. 1) New York Yankees 25-14 The bullpen, led by Mariano Rivera, has been untouchable the past few weeks. 2) St. Louis Cardinals 25-13 Shelby Miller is the latest in a long line of dominant Cardinals starting pitchers. 3) Texas Rangers 25-14 The Rangers didn’t do anything to warrant a drop in rankings, but top two are too good. 4) Detroit Tigers 22-15 The run differential is up to +62 as this team can hit and pitch with the best of them. 5) Cincinnati Reds 23-16 Home sweet home: The Reds are an astounding 16-6 at Great American Ballpark. 6) San Francisco Giants 23-16 Madison Bumgarner (4-1, 2.18 ERA) has been among the elite since he entered the league. 7) Baltimore Orioles 23-16 Their 14 road wins are tied for best among all Major League clubs. They’re for real. 8) Boston Red Sox 22-17 Big Papi has come back to drive in 20 runs in 20 games since he returned from injury. 9) Pittsburgh Pirates 22-17 Jason Grilli leads the N.L. with 15 saves. Not bad for a 36-year old first-year closer. 10) Tampa Bay Rays 20-18 A sixgame winning streak has Joe Maddon and the boys playing with confidence. 11) Atlanta Braves 22-17 For all the hype, the Braves are just 10-16 since their incredible 12-1 start. 12) Arizona Diamondbacks 22-18 Lefty Patrick Corbin leads the team with 6 wins, a 1.52 ERA and 41 strikeouts. 13) Cleveland Indians 21-17 The Tribe leads all of baseball in slugging percentage at .452. Carlos Santana is at .605. 14) Colorado Rockies 21-18 Their 187 runs scored is tops in the National League. Nothing surprising about that. 15) Washington Nationals 21-18 Maybe Bryce Harper should look up the meaning of the phrase “warning track.” 16) Kansas City Royals 19-17 A 2-7 run has dropped KC from first to third in a surprisingly tight AL Central. 17) Oakland Athletics 20-21 The sixgame gap between first and second place in the West is baseball’s largest. 18) Minnesota Twins 18-18 As long as Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau stay healthy, this team will win a few games. 19) Philadelphia Phillies 19-21 A mini winning streak has quieted the trade rumors for now, but for how long? 20) Seattle Mariners 18-21 The Mariners just aren’t good enough to make any noise this year. Sound familiar? 21) Milwaukee Brewers 16-21 If this team had some arms in its rotation or its bullpen it would be scary, but alas… 22) San Diego Padres 17-21 Raise your hand if you had the Padres with more wins than either LA teams. 23) Toronto Blue Jays 16-24 Jose Bautista is heating up and that’s great news for a desperate Jays team. 24) Chicago White Sox 16-21 You’re not going to win many games when you’re dead last in team on-base percentage. 25) Chicago Cubs 16-23 Locking up Anthony Rizzo is a huge step towards rebuilding a winner in Chicago. 26) Los Angeles Dodgers 16-22 Make no mistake, Clayton Kershaw is the best pitcher in the National League. 27) Los Angeles Angels 15-24 It might be time to bring back that stupid rally monkey from their World Series run. 28) New York Mets 14-22 A fivegame losing streak marks the low point in what promises to be a long season. 29) Miami Marlins 11-28 While the Astros are definitely a worse team, there’s no worse offense than in Miami. 30) Houston Astros 10-30 I’m 100% sure that there are Triple-A teams that could beat Houston in a 7-game series.
