Jefferson Chalk Artists Learn More about Form, Tone and Light Contributed Article JPS
Jefferson Middle School fi fth graders enjoyed being outside while also sharpening their artistic skills by becoming chalk artists for a day. Students in Lisa Corey’s art class learned how to draw forms and create a 3-dimensional look by using tone to shade. Mrs. Corey taught the students how to create the illusion of form on a flat surface by changing the values. As light hits the forms, the value changes from dark to medium to light. Being outside, students get to use a light source like the sun and see more clearly how shadows cast from the forms. Chalk is also a great material to use for tone because students can blend the powder easily. “I chose to take the students outside because it’s important to know that art isn’t always made on paper or canvas,” said Mrs. Corey. “It can be on many different surfaces and can be temporary. Most students have had experience drawing

A day at the zoo By Katy Wise Contributing Writer
Well, we are officially in newborn mode nowadays. We are getting as much sleep as newborn life will allow, and honestly this transition is going very very well. Our boys love their little sister far more than I ever could have hoped for. The second she cries they run to her rescue, and they both have been very good little helpers. There are a couple of things that I believe helped with this, so here are a couple of tricks that we learned with our family. Spend as much time as you can with your other kids. Even now with a newborn, while we are figuring out our new routine, we endeavor to do one-onone activities with each of them as much as we can. We never want Joshua or Andrew to feel any less important just because they aren't the baby, or because their baby sister requires more care than they do. Although sometimes I think telling them not to jump on the couch or attack their brother is far more time consuming than changing newborn diapers all day. A few weeks ago, whilst 39 weeks pregnant, we decided to plan a family day for our boys. We knew it was going to be the last time for awhile that we could take them somewhere while focusing just on them. Of course plans while that pregnant can always change and this is why we didn't tell the boys they had a surprise awaiting them until we were fairly certain that mommy wasn't going to go into labor. We let Joshua pick our destination and we ended up at the Erie Zoo. It was 65-70 degrees and sunny that day which is the absolute perfect zoo weather. In hindsight, I realize that he only picked the zoo because he wanted to ride the train after I showed him a picture from the Erie Zoo website. But, that's what happens when you let a four year old boy pick what you're going to do. They loved the animals too, of course, but the real high light of their day was our train ride finale. We wrapped up our day with dinner at Chick-Fil-A (our favorite restaurant of all time), and whatever energy the boys had left was worked out on the playground. It was a wonderful last outing as a family of four, and everyone slept pretty great that night. And for a bonus, my husband and I even got to go see a movie together the next day for the last time in what could possibly be a very long time. If you or someone you know is expecting a baby who is not your first child, make sure to get in some time with the family you have now. Or if this is your first child, get some time in with your spouse before baby comes. Sure there will be time for dates sometime in the future, but trying to fit dates in around a baby feeding schedule can be a little tricky at times, and all the more so if you have other children. It will make the transition to a larger family much easier while making some memories together. Enjoy some time with the loved ones you already have before you get your newest (and smallest!) loved one. As always, thanks for reading!

Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church Fredonia fcfredonia.org
Dear Pastor, What does "walking in love" mean? Last week we looked at the topic of God’s kind of love by examining why we need to walk in love. We saw that it is included in the only commandment that
Jesus gave us, that “… we love one another as I have loved you” ( John 15:12). We also saw that God considers love to be the greatest characteristic in our Christian identity to ourselves and to the world (1 Corinthians 13:13). This week I want to begin our examination of the best directives about love in God’s Word, 1 Corinthian 13. Let’s begin with verse 13:4…”Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up.” This verse begins with the often misunderstood phrase “love suffers long.” Just recently, someone asked me about this phrase. They believed that this means God wants us to suffer for a
Keeping the Faith long time in sickness, death, and (I suppose) love and marriage! While this could have been viewed as a set up for a marriage joke…I believe that the individual was sincere and just confused by the language of their Bible translation. The word “suffer” isn’t about being in actual pain (as in physical pain) but about maintaining a patient, enduring, tolerant attitude towards another person. So how does this apply to our life? Let’s use an example based on a common issue found within a close friendship or family…that of dealing with someone you find annoying. While you may believe that they have a good heart, their particular
behaviors really “get to you.” So how should you handle this? Walking in love God’s way, requires you to put up with the bad things and turn your annoyance into an opportunity to bless them in kindness and caring. We can see this demonstrated in the Book of Matthew 19:13-15. In these scriptures Jesus was surrounded by crowds of attention-seeking people, including small children. The Apostles were shooing them away, trying to protect Jesus from the rambunctious little ones. Jesus, however, said to His Apostles, “Suffer the little children to come unto Me.” Basically, Jesus was telling His Apostles that they should tolerate the
11
family church F R E D O N I A
children’s activities so that they could come and be blessed by Him. Jesus also told His Apostles that the
children (and their enthusiasm) were an important part of the kingdom of heaven!

The show will begin at 7pm when opening band, The Mother Hips play. Seating is General Admission. All tickets are $26 through May 31. It is an all-ages show. Nicki Bluhm & the Gramblers have been steadily recording and touring for the past 3 years, appearing at festivals such as Bonnaroo, Newport Folk and Mountain Jam.

Their new album - Loved, Wild, Lost - was released in April. The Mother Hips, co-founded by Bluhm’s husband and Gramblers member, Tim Bluhm, has been in the public eye for over 20 years. They were signed to Rick Rubin’s American Recordings label while still in college and continue to make music, even performing at their own annual festival, Hipnic. This concert is the third in the Southern Tier Brewing Company LIVE Series. Previous headliners have been Dark Star Orchestra and Galactic.

Why "Dieting" Is Easier Than You Think
By Brad Jarrett
Contributing Writer
Are you lost with eating habits, and concerned about your weight? You’ve tried to slim down, but so far nothing has worked? You know the feeling, and I know the feeling. Let’s use that common ground to clear the air of diet confusion. First of all, realize WE ARE NOT ALONE,
research suggests that 68% of the U.S. adult population is overweight or obese (NHANES 2011-1012)… Therefore, we have a support system; there are brothers and sisters here with us, over half the country!! So where do we turn? To the next “Fad” diet? To the “Beer” diet? (Believe it or not, this is a real idea) No, we turn back the clock, eat the way humans are meant to eat, and make things SIMPLE. How? By making our best attempt to eat the way Mother Nature intended us to. We strive to consume whole fruits and veggies, lean meat, spices, unprocessed carbohydrates and water. Think of it this way, Mother Nature is the ultimate food processing plant, if she made it I guar-
antee it’s going to be better than anything boxed in the aisles of your local grocery store. Now you’re thinking “I understand we need to eat what Mother Nature makes, but what does that look like?! What would a meal look like?” Stick to this basic concept: Eat a serving of lean protein (chicken, greek yogurt, milk, eggs, etc.) unprocessed or whole grain carbohydrates (fruit, vegetables, potatoes, brown rice etc.) and a small serving of healthy fats (Olive oil, sunflower seeds, almonds) at every meal. Then make it a goal to eat four small meals a day. If you think anything like the average American, this thought is racing through your mind, “I don’t want to eat carbohydrates! I know
they’re the enemy, and fats for that matter are even worse!” Take a step back, and realize those statements are NOT TRUE. Healthy fats and carbohydrates are necessary for normal bodily function, and healthy weight loss. Trouble comes when these foods are eaten in excess amounts. Think in terms of cologne or perfume. The purpose is clear, to make you smell nice, but when overused, you start to smell like a cheap hotel room. Carbohydrates and fats are not evil, an extreme intake is. I told you earlier this whole idea would be made simple…Here it is; the entire premise of weight loss is based on calorie intake… Oh how easy we forget. Therefore, if you eat more calories than you burn
through exercise and daily activities, weight is gained. If you burn more calories than you consume, weight is lost. How is this tied into the concept of eating what Mother Nature makes? You’re going to love me when I say this; the answer is SIMPLE. When you eat foods Mother Nature intends for you to eat, four times per day, calorie intake controls itself. No longer will you need to worry about counting every calorie, as the foods you eat will be whole, nutritious and low calorie, automatically. Follow these rules, SIMPLIFY, and work with EACH OTHER to make your weight loss a reality. You are not alone. You have all the support in the world; USE IT! Fitness Can Be Greater.
Cholesterol and Exercise
By Tonja Dodd Contributing Writer
The month of May is physical activity and fitness month and so I have discussed the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans. The guidelines suggest that adults achieve 2 1/2 hours (150 minutes) a week of physical activity. To gain health benefits, this physical
activity should be at a moderate pace like walking fast. Health benefits may also be achieved by performing 75 minutes of vigorous activity, weekly - for instance, jogging at or under a 10-minute mile pace or at 60 - 85% of your maximum heart rate. A study was recently published in the Journal of American College of Cardiology ( JACC) that further supports the evidence of the health benefits of exercise. Men who were fit delayed the onset of high cholesterol. The study showed that the normal aging process causes cholesterol levels to increase - both total (TC) and bad (low-density lipoprotein/ LDL) cholesterol increase through a man’s mid-40s to early 50s. The study
observed that men who were not fit had abnormal cholesterol values earlier in adulthood (by 15 years) than those who were fit. In conclusion the study suggests that promoting high fitness levels may help delay the development of dyslipidemia (abnormal cholesterol levels). In other words, meeting the 150 minutes of moderate or 75 minutes of vigorous activity weekly translates to delaying the normal aging process when it comes to cholesterol and cardiovascular health. That’s great news! I don’t know about you, but I would sign up for a “pill” without side effects if it delays the aging process by 15 years - that would put my blood vessels in their 20s! I don’t usually offer advice
on just one study but there are times where a longterm study is published in a peer-reviewed well-accepted journal like the JACC and so is worthy of touting. The study was published by a team of scientists from the University os South Carolina who reviewed and studied data from the Aerobics Center (Cooper Institute) Longitudinal Study of 11,418 men aged 20 - 90, from 1970 through 2006. The team set out to assess whether or not fitness levels modify the age-associated trajectory of blood-cholesterol levels. So,why is it good to delay high cholesterol? High cholesterol or dyslipidemia contributes to heart disease. Heart disease is the No. 1 cause of death in the United
States, killing over 375,000 Americans a year. Close to half of all American adults have some form of cardiovascular disease. If you have high cholesterol you are more likely to have a heart attack, stroke, peripheral artery disease, blockage or other cardiovascular condition which could require medical intervention and will likely affect the quality of your life or worse, result in premature death. When there is too much cholesterol in your blood, it along with other substances can become plaque and build up in the walls of your arteries. Over time, this buildup causes “hardening of the arteries” or atherosclerosis. The arteries become narrowed and CONTINUED ON PAGE 17

How to Best Protect Your Skin this Summer and Beyond Contributed Article StatePoint
Despite the warnings about the aging effects the sun can have on your skin, only five percent of Americans apply sunscreen to their body daily, according to a recent survey conducted using GfK’s Knowledge Panel. While experts say that using sunscreen should be a year-round habit, during the active, outdoor days of summer, it’s even more critical. “Make this the year that you adopt a healthy summer sun care routine for your skin, particularly if you spend long periods of time in the sun,” encourages Dr. Richard C. Kirkpatrick of the Brevard Skin and Cancer Center. Kirkpatrick offers several skinprotecting tips for sun lovers: Everyday Protection The midday hours are the most CONTINUED ON PAGE 18

SUMMER SKIN HEALTH, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 17 hazardous for UV exposure, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which recommends staying in the shade when possible and using sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher. For everyday sunscreen options for your face, look for hypoallergenic formulas that won’t clog pores. NO-AD’s new Oil-Free Face SPF 30 sunscreen is ultra-light, dermatologist tested and recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation for daily use. It contains watermelon extract to help protect against skin cell DNA damage caused by UV light. And best of all, it offers twice the quantity as other national brands at lower cost. For a convenient on-the-go option, consider a wide-format stick, such as NO-AD’s new Sport Body & Face Stick, which goes on smoothly with no mess, is geared toward sensitive skin, and offers broad-spectrum SPF 50 sun protection. Outdoor and Water Enthusiasts Runners, hikers, swimmers and other outdoor athletes should bear in mind that conventional sunscreens may wash off after water sports or a vigorous workout. For those who spend long hours in the water, consider new BullFrog Surf Formula Gel, an alcohol-free, preservative-free, fragrance-free and hypoallergenic sunscreen that allows for frequent reapplication without irritation. It includes a water-resistant agent extracted from pine rosin, a naturally renewable source, and provides broad-spectrum SPF 36 protection. BullFrog’s new Quik Stik SPF 50 is a convenient clear zinc mineral sunscreen, which applies quickly with no sticky, white residue. Self-Tanners To get the sun-kissed look, you don’t actually need to spend long hours in the sun. Consider a self-tanner, like Ocean Potion EverGlow Xtreme SelfTanning Lotion, which delivers subtle color within hours and a rich tan in only three days instead of the usual seven. This moisturizing lotion works on all skin tones, and contains vitamins A, C and E to promote skin health and a youthful appearance. Unlike unpleasant smelling self-tanners, this one has a fresh mango-lime fragrance. For more sun care tips, visit no-ad.com, oceanpotion.com, or bullfrogsunscreen.com. Remember, exposure to the sun causes skin to suffer from premature aging. By protecting your skin this summer and beyond, you can slow this effect.

The first European settlers in the area were the French, who built Fort Presque Isle on the city’s site in 1753. The French abandoned the fort to the English, who lost it in 1763 at the start of Pontiac’s Rebellion. When General “Mad” Anthony Wayne induced the native tribes to make peace in 1794, the area was opened to settlement. The city was laid out in 1795 and became a port in 1801.

JAMESTOWN JAMMERS READY TO COMPETE IN PROSPECT LEAGUE By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
A new era in Jamestown baseball is set to begin on Wednesday, May 27 at Russell Diethrick Park when the Jamestown Jammers make their Prospect League debut against the Butler Blue Sox. To clarify in the case of confusion, the Jamestown Jammers of the New York-Penn League did, in fact, move to Morgantown, West Virginia. These Jammers will play in the Prospect League, which features some of the best college players from around the country. “The Prospect League has been around since 1963,” Jammers coach and sponsor relations director Anthony Barone explained. “It was formerly the Central Illinois Collegiate League. It joined a couple other franchises to form the Prospect League about 10 years ago. There are 12 teams across two divisions, the East and the West. Jamestown is the easternmost team in the league. “The league has produced over 200 Major League players,” Barone continued. “From Jonathan Papelbon to Ryan Howard. It’s a very good collegiate summer baseball league. It’s ranked in the top five in the country along with the Cape Cod League and the Alaskan League.” There were some baseball fans in Jamestown that were understandably devastated when the old Jammers moved to West Virginia, but it wasn’t long at all before teams started knocking on the door. “It created an available city for a lot of these summer collegiate leagues,”

Barone noted. “There was a lot of interest in Jamestown because of the nice facility we have at Russell Diethrick Park. Ownership groups were coming in left and right to see what the city was all about. “Kevin Rhomberg, from the Cleveland area, originally bought the franchise and joined the Prospect League,” he added. “Kevin then sold the team to MKE Sports, which is owned by Mike Zimmerman. They also own another team in the Prospect League, the Kokomo Jackrabbits in the Western Division. Through
the last six, seven months, MKE has owned the team and gotten the franchise rights and moved into the Prospect League.” Another thing the Jammers have going for them is Barone, who is a 1997 graduate of Jamestown High School. He played two years of both baseball and basketball at Jamestown Community College before moving to a Division II program at Felician College in New Jersey.

CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, MAY 22, 2015
FUN WITH STATS, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 26 looking for interesting stats. Now, I wasn’t doing this with the intention of writing a column about it. It was my free time. I truly just love finding obscure records, statistical anomalies, random stretches of dominance, etc. But honestly, it would be selfish of me to keep my findings to myself, so I decided I would write a column about what I found. This is that column. - Nolan Ryan is generally considered one of the best pitchers in baseball history. Most people could tell you that he has the most strikeouts in the history of the game. His 5,714 K’s are substantially more than Randy Johnson’s 4,875 punchouts, which rank second all time. But did you know that Ryan also is the career leader in walks? And it’s not even close. Ryan’s 2,795 free passes are more than 50 percent more than Steve Carlton’s 1,833 base on balls. Ryan walked roughly 1,000 more batters than anyone else in history AND struck out nearly 1,000 more batters than anyone else in history. That’s astounding. - Let’s talk about another all-time great, albeit a controversial one: Barry Bonds. Everyone knows that Bonds is the all-time home run leader with 762, a mere seven more than Hank Aaron. But let’s look at what could have been. Bonds and Aaron are Nos. 1 and 2, respectively in career intentional walks. Except Bonds is in another stratosphere with 668 intentional passes while Aaron sits at 293. That’s a difference of 375. Let’s pretend that Bonds was only intentionally walked as often as Aaron. Keep in mind that would still be the most of anyone, ever. For his career, Bonds homered in 7.74 percent of his at-bats. Taking just the difference between his IBBs and Aaron’s, Bonds could have hit 29 more home runs, making his total an unreal 791. At that number, he almost certainly gets another contract to reach 800. That’s just his intentional walks. The number of times he was "intentionally" walked by just being pitched around was almost comical during his home-run peak. Heck, Bonds led the league in walks as a 42-year old in his final season. PED controversy aside, Bonds was very good at hitting baseballs over the fence. - This is one of my favorite discoveries ever. A lot of people know (or maybe not) that Don Mattingly owns the single-season record for grand slams with six. He hit six grands slams in one season in 1987. Travis Hafner actually equaled that mark in 2006. Mattingly had a great career, hitting 222 career home runs. But those six in 1987 were the only grand slams of his career. The guy played 14 years in the Major Leagues and didn’t hit even one more grand slam. Side note: Bonds
leader sometime in early 2017. Of course, Pujols is one of the greatest hitters I’ve ever seen. I’m not suggesting anything negative here. I’m just pointing out facts. Pujols is a right-handed slugger who’s been on good-to-great teams. That’s basically the recipe for double plays. - Speaking of double plays, you know who was really good at avoiding them is Craig Biggio. The Hall of Fame second baseball hit leadoff most of his career, so that helps, but check this out: In 1997, Biggio actually led all of baseball in plate appearances with 744. He hit into exactly zero double plays. Not a one. For comparison, Albert Belle was the “leader” with 26 GiDP that season. Two players are already at 11 GiDPs this season (again, as of Monday, May 18). Biggio didn’t do it once in 744 plate appearances. For what it’s worth, that number of plate appearances ranks 53rd all time. And it’s not like Biggio was completely immune. He had grounded into 10 double plays the season prior and grounded into another 10 the season afterwards. But in 1997, he defied all odds. - One more note on Biggio: He retired with 285 career HBP.

No problem. On to No. 3….and more trees. *Editor’s Note: The Golfer’s Diary was started three years ago as I took up the sport of My drive was fine, though a little left.

Hockey Picks Captain, Three Assistants for ’15-’16 Contributed Article FSU Sports Information Dept.
Ryan Wilkinson (Calgary, Alberta / St. Albert Catholic) has been selected captain of the 2015-16 Fredonia Blue Devil men's hockey team. A defenseman, Wilkinson has appeared in 71 games for the Blue Devils over three seasons -- most among returning players. "It is a huge honor to be named captain ... and having the decision come from my fellow teammates is an incredible feeling," Wilkinson said. "I can't wait to get back to school next year and start the season. Things are definitely changing around here and we're ready to bring a new culture to our
team, school, and community. "Right now we all have a chip on our shoulder but that's only going to help motivate us over the summer and into next season. As a team we know that people will consider us underdogs We're ready to embrace this
label, catch some people by surprise, and prove all the critics wrong." In addition to choosing a captain, the Blue Devils selected three assistant captains -- seniors Taylor Bourne (Calgary, Alberta / Bowness) and Mitch Kaufmann (Red Deer, Al-
berta / Hunting Hills), and junior Hunter Long (Lebanon, Tenn. / Lebanon). Here are their comments: Bourne: "It is an honor to have my teammates put their faith and trust in me to be an alternate captain this upcoming season. It's special to be put in the same group with Wilky, Kauf and Hunter as those three guys are tremendous leaders in our dressing room. I think the biggest thing for me, is to lead by example both on and off the ice, come in and work hard every day and keep things positive. The group that we have coming back wants to win more than anything next year and there is a lot of excitement in our dressing room about the upcoming season."
Kaufmann: "It's an honor to have been selected as a leader of this hockey team. We have already come so far since the end of the season and I couldn't be happier to move forward with the lean group we have now and also welcome in a large group of freshmen that are willing to work as much as we are now." Long: "It's always an honor to be formally nominated by your teammates for a leadership role. However, being a leader also requires being a good listener and being open to others' ideas. The four of us may have a letter, but it is the focus and execution from a group of 28 players, coaches and staff that win hockey games."
JAMMERS READY FOR NEW START, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 26 coaching scene, beginning with an assistant coach gig at JCC. He then took over as head coach of the Jayhawks and had a nice run with his alma mater. He then gained even more experience as a coach for Cal State Bakersfield, a DI program. Barone also has coached in the New York Collegiate Baseball League, another summer collegiate league. “This is a really outstanding opportunity for myself” Barone said. “I couldn’t be happier to coach the caliber of players we’re going to get right here in my backyard. I’m really excited about that.” Speaking of the players, summer league teams like the Jammers have a unique way of filling out their rosters. It’s up to the college coaches to place their players into summer leagues. Therefore it’s imperative to develop relationships with coaches while convincing them that Jamestown is the best place for their skills to grow. “Almost all D-I programs place their players into summer leagues,” Barone explained. “There are 30
sanctioned summer leagues. It’s basically like recruiting. You’re trying to get the best kids to come to your program. It’s forming relationships with coaches and getting what you need on your roster. “I’ve been in charge of the roster and it’s developed nicely,” Barone continued. “Players are coming from all over the country; California, Texas, South Carolina. We have one local guy from Westfield (Austin Alonge). From a skill standpoint, it’s going to be right up there in the Prospect League. You have to worry about the draft coming up. Some of these guys are draft eligible and you might lose some of them to that.” The partnership between the city of Jamestown and the Jammers has, thus far, been nothing short of spectacular. “Mayor Teresi has been awesome,” Barone said. “Anything we’ve needed, we’ve gotten. He’s 100 percent into baseball. We also have one of the best city crews you can have. It starts with Josh (Wade), our head groundskeeper, and everyone that’s
helped get the stadium where it’s at.” The office and game day staff will be rounded out by interns from JCC, Fredonia and Jamestown Business College. “The intern program is the lifeline of any franchise,” Barone said. “They really make things go. It’s been a pleasant surprise how well it’s worked out in our first year.” Understandably, there might be some skepticism from fans that might miss that affiliation with a Major League franchise. But the caliber of play on the field should be up to, if not better than, the New York-Penn League product. These are, after all, some of the very best college players from across the country. The only reason some of them aren’t in the Minor Leagues is because they aren’t draft eligible. “It’s going to be unbelievable entertainment at the stadium,” Barone added excitedly. “These young men are hungry. They want to make it big. You’re getting the best college players in the country. You’re going
to see players who play the game the right way and want to win.” The action on the field promises to entertain, but the Jammers and MKE Sports have a special promotional schedule that has something for everyone. There are themes such as 50’s night, state fair, Margaritaville, super hero, western and the Great Outdoors, where kids will be invited to camp on the field with their families. There are multiple fireworks nights, too. The promotional schedule, game schedule and other information can be found on the Jammers website, www.jamestownbaseball.com, and the team can be found on both Facebook and Twitter, as well. “We’re always trying to create bigger and newer opportunities at the Jamestown Jammers and MKE Sports,” Barone concluded. “We’re always looking into the future and looking to become bigger and better. It’s an exciting time in Jamestown baseball.”

Super Season Comes To A Close Contributed Article FSU Sports Information Dept.
The greatest season in Fredonia women's lacrosse history is over. The Blue Devils were eliminated from the NCAA Division III Women's Lacrosse tournament Sunday with a 16-9 quarterfinal loss to regional host Franklin and Marshall. It was Fredonia's first trip to the NCAA quarterfinals and the final time on the field for four four-year players, including two All-Americans. The loss dropped the Blue Devils to 17-4 overall -- four more wins in a season than ever before. Three of their losses came to teams in the NCAA final four -- F&M on Sunday and twice to SUNYAC champ Cortland. Senior midfielder Katie Kleine (Cazenovia, N.Y./Cazenovia) picked up four assists. The Second Team All-American raised her career scoring total to 291 points, a new school record. Meanwhile, senior attacker Marissa Cussins (Corning, N.Y./CorningPainted Post West) picked up two more goals, her team-leading 63rd

and 64th of the season. She finished the season with 90 points, a singleseason school record. Her career total of 273 points ranks third all-time. Franklin and Marshall -- ranked No. 3 nationally compared to No. 17 Fredonia -- jumped to an 8-1 lead at halftime. The Diplomats (20-2) owned their lead in large part to a 10-0 advantage in draw controls in the first half. The Blue Devils cut the deficit to 8-4 on goals by Cussins, sophomore attacker Kristie Kleine (Cazenovia,
N.Y./Cazenovia), and sophomore attacker Sam Owen (Horseheads, N.Y./Horseheads) early in the second half. The goal by Owen with 23:44 remaining caused F&M head coach Mike Faith to call a timeout. The Diplomats' Emily D'Erasmo won the ensuing draw control and ran through the defense to score. Seconds later, a goal by Paige Moriarty put F&M up 10-4. Fredonia's comeback attempt was finished.
Kristie Kleine led Fredonia's scoring with two goals, giving her five on the weekend and 34 on the season. Single goal-scorers for Fredonia were graduate student and defender Shelby DePew (Macedon, N.Y./Palmyra-Macedon), senior attacker Katie Glagolev (Webster, N.Y./Webster Thomas), and freshman defender Audrey Yokopovich (Webster, N.Y./ Webster Thomas). The Blue Devils were also awarded an own goal. Cussins led the Blue Devils with four ground balls while Yokopovich and junior defender Jessica Tuttle (Webster, N.Y./Webster Thomas) had three each. Katie Kleine finished with four draw controls, giving her a school career record of 197. She also had two caused turnovers, adding to her school-record total of 132. She also finished with 138 career assists, another Fredonia school record. Freshman goalkeeper Nicole Burrows (Baldwinsville, N.Y./C.W. Baker) finished with 13 saves. She also had two caused turnovers. Burrows played every minute of every game in 2015. While Fredonia's season ended, F&M advanced to its fifth NCAA semifinals.

Maple Leafs Land Babcock With Record Deal By John Wawrow AP Sports Writer
Mike Babcock moved from one Original Six franchise to another Wednesday, agreeing to an eightyear, $50 million deal to coach the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Maple Leafs announced the hiring to put to an end months of speculation about Babcock's future with the Detroit Red Wings, where he spent the past 10 seasons and won a Stanley Cup in 2008. Babcock will be introduced at a news conference Thursday. Though Babcock was under contract with Detroit through June 30, the Red Wings granted him permission to speak to other teams on May 8. The deal makes Babcock the NHL's highest-paid coach. He will reportedly receive a large signing bonus and make between $5 million and $6 million a season. By hiring Babcock, the Leafs must send a third-round pick to Detroit as compensation. Landing Babcock is a major coup for Brendan Shanahan, who in the past 13 months since taking over as president has fired general manager Dave Nonis, coach Randy Carlyle, interim Peter Horachek and several assistants and scouts. ''I'm proud of Shanny, I'm proud that he dreamt big,'' Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment President and CEO Tim Leiweke said. ''He got the big whale. ... ''It should give everyone great hope about the future of this organization. Mike Babcock is a phenomenal coach, and I think we're really lucky to get him.'' Detroit general manager Ken Holland said Babcock told him of his decision Wednesday morning. ''My offers last June were a four-year term. Again in January, it was a fouryear term,'' Holland said. ''As we sat
yesterday morning, I said, 'Mike, the best I can do is five years.' When you've been in the same city as long as I have, and as long as Mike has, you don't get much longer term than four and five years. So I think that certainly part of the decision-making process probably for Mike was the amount of term that he could get in Toronto.'' In selecting Toronto, Babcock goes from a Red Wings franchise that has reached the playoffs for an NHLleading 24 consecutive seasons to a team that has struggled competitively. Toronto missed the playoffs last season for the ninth time in 10 years. The Maple Leafs have also not won a Stanley Cup since 1967, a season before the NHL expanded from its original six franchises. The Red Wings, by comparison, have won the championship four times since 1997. The 52-year-old Babcock also coached Canada to Olympic gold medals in 2010 and '14. He brings stability and a highprofi le face to a franchise that is on its fourth full-time coach since Paul Maurice took over in 2006. The Maple Leafs had a vacancy after Carlyle was fired in January, and replaced on an interim basis by assistant Horachek. Babcock's decision comes as a slight surprise, given that he indicated last week that he hated losing and wanted to be part of a team that had an opportunity to win immediately. The Maple Leafs have an overpriced and aging roster, and questions at goaltending. The team unraveled last season. After holding a 19-9-3 record in mid-December, Toronto closed the season going 11-35-8 to finish 15th in the 16-team Eastern Conference standings. On the bright side, Babcock is reunited with Shanahan, who took over as the Maple Leafs president last year. Shanahan played for Babcock in Detroit.

Records Fall During NCAA Tournament Game Contributed Article FSU Sports Information Dept.
Senior midfielder Katie Kleine (Cazenovia, N.Y./Cazenovia) set one school record and lost one school record Saturday afternoon. Kleine had one goal and two assists in the Blue Devils' 9-5 victory over Washington & Lee in the third round of the NCAA Division III Women's Lacrosse tournament at Franklin and Marshall University. The three points give her 287 in her four seasons as a Blue Devil. That's one more than Amy Simon, Kleine's former teammate and now her head coach. Simon recorded 286 points from 2009 to 2012. Kleine broke the record with 3:46 left while the Blue Devils were trying to run out the clock on their NCAA quarterfinal win. Starting from the perimeter of the offense, she moved past one defender and slipped past a second to get a free run on goal. "It's awesome and I'm happy for her," Simon said of losing her career scoring mark to Kleine. "As I said, she a workhorse for us and keeps everyone going. Not only did her goal today break my record, but it securred the win for us." "I was pressing too hard the last four games," Kleine said of her quest to pass her coach on the all-time scoring chart. "Today I just told myself to just 'let it go.'" SINGLE-SEASON RECORD SET: Kleine's classmate, senior attacker Marissa Cussins (Corning, N.Y./Corning-Painted Post West), set the team single-season scoring mark with 17:20 left in the first half. Her hard shot from close range gave the Blue Devils a 2-1 lead at the time. She also scored later in the half, with 4:11 left, to put her team on top 4-3, a lead they would not relinquish. Her three goals Saturday give her 62 this season. She also has 26 assists. Her 88 points are two more than Kleine had during 2012. "It felt great," said Cussins of breaking the record of her teammate, who was standing alongside. "What's that you say," Cussins said, turning toward Kleine, "You're the assist to my goals." FIRST TIME TO 20: The 2015 Blue Devils have gone deeper into the 2015 season Saturday than any Fredonia women's lacrosse team before it. Their 20 games is the most ever in one season, one more than in 2012 and 2014. They will add to that total Sunday when they face Franklin and Marshall in the NCAA quarterfinal round here.

Eight of this year's players who have appeared in every game now share the individual single-season school record for participation. They are Cussins, Kleine, junior defender Sarah Lindovski (Baldwinsville, N.Y./C.W. Baker), junior defender Jessica Tuttle (Webster, N.Y. / Webster Thomas), junior attacker Juliana Kotas (Lancaster, N.Y./Lancaster), sophomore midfielder Kristie Kleine (Cazenovia, N.Y./Cazenovia), freshman defender Audrey Yokopovich (Webster, N.Y./Webster), and freshman goalkeeper Nicole Burrows (Baldwinsville, N.Y./C.W. Baker). In addition, the Kleine sisters, Cussins, Tuttle, Lindovski, Yokopovich, and Burrows now share the school record for most starts in a season -- 20 each. MOST TIMES ON THE FIELD: Cussins became career team participation leader by appearing in her 73rd game -- one more than former teammate Mary Bruton, who appeared in 72 games from 2011 to 2014, All but one of Cussins's apperances have been starts; her 72 starts is also a school record. Meanwhile, senior attacker Katie Glagolev (Webster, N.Y./Webster Thomas) tied Bruton for second on the list by appearing in her 72nd game Saturday, while Burrows became the single-season leader in minutes plate with 1,206. She has been in the cage for every minute of every game this season.

Goodell Wants To Hear Directly From Brady In Appeal By Josh Dubow AP Sports Writer
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said Wednesday it's his responsibility to hear directly from New England quarterback Tom Brady in his appeal of his four-game suspension in the deflated footballs case. Goodell said he has not had time to study a request from the players' union that he recuse himself from the appeal because he has been focused on the spring owners meetings that concluded Wednesday. He said he would study the request when he returned to New York but added that unless there is a factor that he is unaware of he will likely hear the case. ''It's my job here to make sure we're doing everything to protect the integrity of the game, protect our policies, protect our procedures,'' Goodell said. ''We have a process that has been negotiated with the union that has been in place for decades. It's my responsibility and it's something that we've
had in place for a long time.'' Goodell said no date has been set for the appeal. The CBA reached in 2011 to end the lockout gave Goodell the right to hear the appeal; only the commissioner can punish players for conduct detrimental to the league. But the NFL Players Association claims if he delegates his authority to discipline players, it's invalid, and if he handles it himself, he is no longer impartial. When NFL executive vice president Troy Vincent suspended Brady for the first four games of the 2015 season, he cited Brady's lack of cooperation in refusing to turn over his cellphone records as one of the reasons for the hefty punishment. Goodell said he is open to seeing those records during the appeal and that could play a role in a possible reduction of the suspension for Brady's role in the use of underinflated footballs in the AFC championship game against the Indianapolis Colts. ''I look forward to hearing directly from Tom if there's new information or information that can be helpful to us in getting this right,'' Goodell
said. ''I want to hear directly from Tom in that.'' A four-time Super Bowl champion and the face of the most successful NFL franchise of this century, Brady was found in the investigation conducted by attorney Ted Wells - who was hired by the league - to be ''at least generally aware'' of a scheme to illegally deflate footballs used in the conference title game. Goodell said it is difficult to suspend anyone but that the integrity of the league is paramount. ''I have great admiration and respect for Tom Brady,'' he said. ''But the rules have to be enforced on a uniform basis and they apply to everybody. They apply to every club, every individual coach and every player.'' Vincent also fined the Patriots $1 million and took away two draft picks, a first-rounder next year and a fourth in 2017. New England owner Robert Kraft said Tuesday he will not appeal the team's penalty and declined to comment further on the case Wednesday before leaving the meetings. Goodell said that decision will have no impact on Brady's appeal.

Anglers can also catch catfish along the Lake Erie shoreline on calm nights, especially near stream inlets. Chautauqua Lake Anglers are catching some walleye, with better results at night. Nighttime trollers target walleye along weed edges in 8-15 feet of water with stickbaits or worm harnesses. During the day, concentrate efforts at depths over 20 feet. Shore anglers can target walleye at night by casting and retrieving stickbaits near points and stream inlets. Crappie fishing picked back up this week, with better action near dawn and dusk. Anglers reported some decent catches at Lakewood Bar, around some of the bridge piers, around emerging weed beds and docks. Small jigs (1/32 and 1/64 ounce) with a small minnow, one inch tube or other small plastic and fished under a pencil float works well. Inland Trout Fishing Area trout streams are in prime shape with good flows and bug activity. Bugs were popping prior to the cool snap. With temperatures on the rise again, look for hatches of hendricksons, blue-winged olives, caddisfl ies and March browns. Productive offerings for spinning anglers include worms, salted minnows and small inline spinners. If you are a catch-and-release angler and use spinners, it is a good practice to outfit your spinners with a single hook rather than a treble hook. Western New York anglers have a variety of Wild Trout Streams and Stocked Trout Streams to choose from. In addition, Public Fishing Rights Maps are available for many of the area's best trout streams. Check out the Fishing For Stream Trout page for introductory information on trout baits, lures, fishing equipment and techniques.
