From Lake to Lake

proposed traiL from BarceLona to chautauQua institution garners puBLic support

By Scott Wise Star News Editor

Few would debate the picturesque scenery that our county offers.

From the shores of one of the five great lakes, to the rolling hills of the Chautauqua ridge, the variety of landscapes provide for yearlong beauty and open the door to adventure.

There are literally hundreds of miles of trails running throughout the wooded terrain of Chautauqua County. A good majority are used for equestrian purposes or for snowmobilers, bikers and hikers. These trails, called multiuse trails, provide the adventure experience to locals and tourists alike- all without having to travel too far from home.

In 2011, the county Department of Planning and Economic Development launched the county greenways plan, which looks at the overall trail infrastructure and the potential to develop and utilize that for future projects.

One such project, currently in the public information phase, is the proposed multi-use trail that would stretch from Barcelona harbor to the Chautauqua Institution.

“This project ranked very high in the county, and it made sense to pursue it as the next project in the comprehensive greenways plan,”

said Aaron Resnick, Executive Director of the Westfield Development Corporation.

Resnick is a member of a committee assembled to assess the feasibility of the trail, which would essentially extend the current Portage Trail in Westfield (south to the Institution and north to Lake Erie). The committee was charged with looking at potential trail routing, preparing a request

for proposals and utilimately selecting a planning firm to evaluate the feasibility of establishing the trail.

“Ultimately the committee selected Pashek Associates to complete the feasibility study for trail,” said Resnick. “They are looking at it with their expertise in the trail planning arena to identify the best route. They also tie together all the information relative to it-

providing trails for all ages and abilities of users, expanding economic impacts, healthy lifestyles, attracting visitors and compiling all that in an analysis for us.”

A big vision for what today is the small hamlet of Irving in northern Chautauqua County was nearly realized in the early 1800s when the Holland Land Company promoted the area to early developers, seeing its potential to become a city that would rival Buffalo.

A thriving port on Lake Erie, Irving also had a perfect site on the mouth of the Cattaraugus Creek.

Its setting and vast timber reserves provided all the right components to attract commerce and settlers.

It was believed its prime location and the existing industries of shipbuilding and timber would seal its fortune as a Lake Erie metropolis.

All that was needed was a connection to the Erie Railroad and a canal leading the Cattaraugus to the Conewango Creek.

According to Hanover historian, Vince Martonis, the first land sales in the area would begin in 1802, after the Holland Land Company completed its great survey of Western New York in 1798. In the years that followed, smaller surveys would be completed and it was then that Irving was established and broken up into salable lots.

INSIDE THIS WEEK

For information call 484-7135

The Mission of the American Red Cross is to prevent and alleviate human suffering in the face of emergencies; when crises and disasters strike, the members and supporters of the American Red Cross join together and respond.

This year, the Chautauqua County District of the Southwestern NY Chapter of the American Red Cross, together with major corporate sponsor NRG Dunkirk Power, conducted its eleventh annual “Salute to Hometown Heroes” celebration to recognize those local heroes who have demonstrated a tremendous willingness to help their neighbors during times of great need.

This breakfast event celebration recognized and celebrated the knowledge, skill and actions of these exceptional individuals.

This year’s recipient of the Farm Fresh Foods Law Enforcement award was Patrolman James Muscato of the Westfield Police Department. Patrolman Muscato responded to the scene of a fire in the Village of Westfield and his actions at that time saved the lives of several residents of the building. Without hesitation, and at great risk to his own safety, he entered the house, at one point crawling on his hands, knees and stomach. Patrolman Muscato’s actions demonstrate his dedication to the safety of the residents of Westfield. We commend him for his bravery, dedication to duty, and unselfish actions.

Thomas Atwell of the Gerry Fire Department was the recipient of the Chautauqua Patrons Insurance Company Emergency Personnel Award. Thomas is the 1st Assistant Chief of the Gerry Fire Department, an EMT as well as Rodeo Chairman.

Thomas loves his community, and recently headed up a wonderful fundraiser for the chief of

Chautauqua County Humane Society Pet of the Week

Pets of the Week

This week we are featuring “Joe” and “Mufasa.” Joe is a one-year-old yellow lab mix. He likes to cuddle and he is fun to watch amuse himself with a tennis ball. He has plenty of energy, but likes to curl up next to you after a good run. He would be good in most homes.

Mufasa is a gentle giant. He is 13 years of kitty wisdom and love rolled up in one big fluffy ball of love. He prefers to lounge around as opposed to run around, but he likes to get petted. He will need to be brushed on a regular basis to keep the mats out of his beautiful coat. Mufasa is also available for our Senior-4-Senior program. If either of these pets sounds like the one for you, stop in at the Strunk Road Adoption Center. They are waiting to go to their new forever home.

WOMEN’S SECTION on Being a Bronze Goddess brown skin hues resulting from long term exposure to the sun. Sunscreen was a dirty word, SPF of five or ten was considered excessive and a good tan was viewed as healthy. Tanning beds were unheard of and backyard tanning parties were the epitome of summer fun.

By Dodi Kingsfield Fast forward 30 years and Contributing Writer those bronze goddesses may not be hard to spot in a crowd. The long term efBefore the era of SPF (sun fects of their early years of protection factor), the unprotected sun worshipland and beaches were ping may have manifested strewn with bronze goddesses, women and girls in in one or more ways. Risk factors such as age, health search of the golden glow and skin type also play a of a suntan. They greased themselves in tanning oils, part in how severe the efbaby oil, even vegetable oil; fects of the sun are. Darker anything to bring on those complexions tend to be

much less sensitive to UV (ultraviolet) rays. Persons with pale or light skin tones, lighter colored hair such as blonds and redheads, a personal history of skin cancer, or a family history are also at higher risk for the effects associated with sun exposure.

While a healthy bronze glow may be the ultimate goal, going unprotected for many years can lead to premature aging, skin cancer, solar keratoses (pre-cancerous skin condition), eye damage such as cataracts or corneal sunburns, and even immunity suppression. No amount of moisturizer can alleviate leathery skin, premature wrinkles, or dark spots

once the damage is done.

Unmonitored use of indoor tanning beds is no replacement for avoiding the harsh rays of the sun by bronze sun goddesses, as they cause UV damage as well.

To truly avoid the negative consequences of harmful UV rays, a sun goddess should have an arsenal of tools and knowledge to help them achieve a healthy summer look, without the summer damage. To protect the head and face, wear a wide brim hat that covers the ears and shades the face. Wear sunscreen with extra SPF on the face, ears, neck and chest areas since these are the zones most often burned by the sun, particularly when in

the water.

Summer clothing is available with built in UV protection for water and land sports aficionados to avoid intense summer rays.

A large umbrella provides much needed shade at the beach and keeps little ones out of the direct sun.

Sunscreen is a must for UV ray protection, whether at the beach, playing sports or planting the garden.

SPFs rate as high as 100 for ultra sensitive skin and are available in sports and water-resistant formulas for longer coverage. Reapply as directed for optimal benefits and avoid the direct sun between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when damaging UV rays are at

their worst.

As an alternative to sun worship, consider the use of apply on tans, such as tanning crèmes or spray on tans which are not permanent and does not expose the skin to harmful rays.

For the healthy sun goddess, protection is the key to maintaining good skin and health. For the more seasoned sun goddess, preventive measures are crucial to avoiding further sun damage. So whichever goddess type you are, prepare for the summer fun and arm yourself against the harmful UV rays of the sun. It’s the only skin you’ve got.

From Buffalo to the Bahamas

stoW Women taLk aBout 2009 saiLing eXperience

By Patricia Pihl Managing Editor

Many people dream about what they will do when they retire. While ideas vary, a common theme many times involves extensive travel. For some, life gets in the way from realizing those plans; for others, ideas simply don’t leave the conceptual stage.

Chris Flanders and Margaret Mary Wagner, or “Peaches” as she is known, were just a few years from retirement when they had agreed that it was both their desire to sail around the world. The two women were experienced sailors - both have professional

captains’ licenses and were members of the Buffalo Yacht Club. Wagner had sailed 10,000 miles and Flanders, who grew on Chautauqua Lake, was a “natural” to sailing.

Flanders would eventually become part of Wagner’s crew and together they would participate in national yacht racing in Toronto.

As a way of keeping that retirement promise to each other, Chris said they told anyone who would listen about what she said were their “grandiose plans.”

Despite their experience and expertise, their voyage would ultimately provide them with numerous learning experiences along the

Chris shown in her dingy.

way.

Selling Wagner’s racing boat for a 44 foot sailing cruiser, “Star of the Sea,” Flanders, a former nurse, and Wagner, Vice President of Kaleida Health, would set out in 2009, not for a trip around the world, but with plans to reach the Bahamas and then Trinidad.

However, the experience was much different than anything they had known.

“When you race, you go as fast as you can and then go back to the yacht club and sleep in your own bed at night,” says Wagner.

RELIGION SECTION the weekly word

Rev. Tim Stahlman Family Church Jamestown thenewfamilychurch.com

God’s Universal Healthcare Plan Part- 2 Healthcare has become a central theme in the national discussion. This is because humanity is scratching and clawing to withhold any amount of security in these very uncertain days. The result is a public outcry for government to enforce a system that would guarantee healthcare for all citizens. The problem with government is this: The more they try to provide, the less they will provide. The days are upon us when we must turn to the original healthcare plan; God’s Word. God has always had a plan to provide health and security for His people.

The more we explore ways of bypassing God’s system, the more we will invite the problems we tried to escape.

Proverbs 4:20-22 says, “My son, attend to my words; incline you ears 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 those that find them, and health to all their flesh.” God’s Word is the cure for common humanity.

His Word is never too good to be true; it is always true. God wants to get our expectations up. He really means what He says, and says what He means.

But notice that we must keep God’s Word “in the midst of our heart.” Whatever is in the midst of your heart is what you will depend on for strength. Whatever is in the midst of your heart is what you lean upon to be your security. Many people are leaning on things that are not qualified to be

leaned upon. People lean heavily on other people and relationships. People fail and if you are leaning on them, you will fail too. Jobs will fail and companies will lose money at times. Retirement funds are dwindling with the value of the dollar. We could wake up tomorrow and discover that the dollar is worthless. You cannot lean upon these things or else when they fail, you will fail.

The only thing that is qualified to be “in the midst of your heart” is God’s Word. God is the only One qualified to live in your heart. If you put people or things in that place it will only hurt you and the ones you have placed there.

The next verse, Proverbs 4:23 says, “Guard your heart, for out of it are the issues of life.” What a profound truth this is! This means

that every circumstance in our lives is subject to whatever is in our heart. The “heart” refers to our spiritual being; the real you on the inside. Have you learned this yet? Whatever is on the inside will show up on the outside. The Bible is telling us that when we get the truth of God’s Word on a subject and put it in our heart, it can change the outward world around us. For example, Proverbs 14:30 says, “A sound heart is the strength of the flesh…” All physical strength in life will depend on your spiritual strength. All physical strength is spiritual in its cause. We need to learn this: The healthier we are spiritually, the healthier we will be physically. We need to put our spiritual healthcare first. We must know what God says about health if we are intending to live in health.

staying Healthy over 50 hoW to feeL Young and Live Life to the fuLLest Helpguide.org

Staying healthy and feeling your best is important at any age and that doesn’t change just because you have a few more grey hairs. As we grow older, we experience an increasing number of major life changes, including career changes and retirement, children leaving home, the loss of loved ones, and physical changes. How we handle and grow from these changes is the key to staying healthy. These tips can help you maintain your physical and emotional health and live life to the fullest, whatever your age.

Finding and following your formula for staying healthy over 50 Coping with change is difficult, no matter how old you are. The particular challenge for adults over 50 is the sheer number of changes and transitions that start to occur—including children moving away, the loss of parents, friends, and other loved ones, changes to or the end of your career, declining health, and even loss of

independence. It’s natural to feel those losses. But if that sense of loss is balanced with positive ingredients, you have a formula for staying healthy as you age.

Healthy aging means continually reinventing yourself as you pass through landmark ages such as 60, 70, 80 and beyond. It means finding new things you enjoy, learning to adapt to change, staying physically and socially active, and feeling connected to your community and loved ones.

Unfortunately, for many, aging brings anxiety and fear instead. How will I take care of myself late in life?

What if I lose my spouse?

What is going to happen to my mind? However, many of these fears stem from myths about aging that are exaggerated by the media or simply untrue. The truth is that you are stronger and more resilient than you may think Staying healthy over 50: Tips for eating well as you age As you age, your relationship to food may change

along with your body. A decreased metabolism, changes in taste and smell, and slower digestion may affect your appetite, the foods you can eat, and how your body processes food. The key is to figure out how to adapt to your changing needs. Now, more than ever, healthy eating is important to maintain your energy and health.

Load up on high-fiber fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Your whole digestive system does slow as you age, so fiber is very important.

Consume fiber-rich foods such as whole grains, fruit, and vegetables. They will help you feel more energetic and give you fuel to keep going.

Put effort into making your food look and taste good.

Your taste buds may not be as strong and your appetite may not be the same, but your nutritional needs are just as important as ever.

If you don’t enjoy eating like you used to, put a little more effort into your meals, including the way you flavor, prepare, and present your food.

ringing ears could be sign of serious Hearing Problem StatePoint

In a world full of noise -- from everything from city traffic and lawnmowers to hairdryers and earbuds on personal music devices -- hearing problems are a growing issue.

Chief among these problems is tinnitus, a medical condition affecting 50 million Americans.

Tinnitus is the sensation of hearing sound when no external sound is present, and is most commonly caused by exposure to loud noises. Typically, those suffering describe it as “ringing ears,” though others describe it as hissing, buzzing, whistling or chirping. For some, it’s a minor annoyance. For others, it can be debilitating, causing hearing loss, sleep disruption, changes in cognitive ability, anxiety and depression.

With this in mind, Starkey Hearing Technologies is helping educate about tinnitus and related hearing issues. If you’re concerned you may have tinnitus, consult a hearing professional to discuss treatment options. To learn more,

visit www.TinnitusHearing. com.

These days, the good news is that new treatment options, such as innovative sound therapy solutions, can offer relief to soothe those ringing ears.

CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, MAY 31, 2013

Lost places, continued from pg 1 labeled Irving as “prime,” even calling it “the best that they had ever seen,” which encouraged people to buy.

Indians, according to Martonis, already knew the value of the area and had a village on both sides of creek with paths going in numerous directions, including a main trail along the lakeshore (Route 20), another going east (Allegany Road) and a third going toward Arkwright. A “hub” for the Indians, the Holland Land Company realized that it too, could be a hub for them.

Many of these main paths, already in place, would become roads. In addition, the Indians had already established trading posts, which could support settlers looking to restock supplies.

Martonis writes in a March 1, 1992 edition of Hanover Historical newsletter that developers, known as the “Irving Company” had to

convince others to invest their dollars and dreams in Irving, and needed a “promotional pamphlet.”

The pamphlet, written

by Dr. Henry Wilcox was simply called “Irving on Lake Erie.” In it, Wilcox describes Irving as “situated partly on a flat, interlaced by arms and channels of the creek, and partly on a beautiful slope commanding a land and water prospect, extending to the outlet of Lake Erie, 30 miles below.” Martonis notes that the fishing potential of the lake could also be exploited, adding another attractive feature to the developing site.

Wilcox goes on to emphasize how a port at Irving would be advantageous to Lake Erie commerce, since it is ice-free early in the spring.

“His intent,” Martonis writes, “is to promote the building of a railroad across New York State: “The Cat-

taraugus is not only double the length and capacity of the Buffalo Creek, but Irving, at its mouth, is found to be approachable by an easy grade …it must become one of the termini of the northern chain of railroads between New York and Lake Erie…with a prospect of completion and usefulness years in advance of the New York and Erie railroad.”

The newsletter reports that Wilcox also encouraged a canal system up through the Conewango Valley, connecting into the Cattaraugus Creek system, since NYS was already willing to spend millions to widen and improve existing canals.” In addition, federal and state governments had already seen the potential of the area and supplied funds for a break wall, docking, bridges, and a lighthouse.

The Big City Series boasts a diverse schedule of musical entertainment sure

to please the downtown crowds.

All scheduled dates for the Big City Summer Concert Series are subject to change.

Martonis was one of the biggest industries in Irving. He explains that Cattaraugus Creek was not shallow and wide like it is today, before deforestation changed the shape of our creeks and rivers, but was instead a deep and meandering creek permitting ships to sail through.

“There was major shipbuilding going on there for decades in the early 1800s - even schooner-sized ships,” says Martonis. “That was also the reason they had a lighthouse there. I don’t know if you could say it had as much, but it was a definite rival to Buffalo in terms of shipbuilding.”

Timber And lumber was huge as well. So many lumber piles were at Irving in the early 1800s that it was written that a person could jump from pile to pile and cover a half a mile or more. With Irving’s location, lumber could

be shipped to Buffalo or down the Erie Canal. “An awful lot of our trees were going to Pittsburgh on the Conewango, that’s why they wanted a canal from Cattaraugus to the Conewango,” says Martonis. Opening that passage would also permit the flow of copper and ceramic goods, as will as glass and other needed supplies to flow to our area.

Still another factor leading to the growth potential of Irving was its number of sawmills and gristmills. “Those were the two things that the Holland Land Company were interested in setting up immediately to bring in settlers,” says Martonis, who adds that Holland donated the land for a church and a school. “Once they had those four things- lumber for homes, a gristmill for bread and land for a church and school, it fulfilled four of the major needs that people

had.”

Why didn’t Irving develop into the mecca envisioned by The Holland Land Company? In a word, the answer would be greed. “The land speculators became a little bit too greedy and wanted more money than the railroad company was willing to pay. It was successful for awhile, but when the railroad backed off, people totally cooled.” Eventually, people were caught with major land purchases they couldn’t sell, says Martonis.

“Speculators started backing off and going elsewhere.”

When the railroad decided to end in Dunkirk in 1851, “that signaled the death of Irving as a city.” In addition, plans to expand the canal were also shelved; cutting off another promised means of transport.

tech Living accessing notes With evernote

By Phil Bens Contributing Writer

One of my favorite apps that I have used for a while is Evernote. Evernote is a note taking program that is quick and convenient. The program is cloud based, meaning that it only works if you have an Internet connection through your computer or your phone. I can use Evernote on a Windows computer or a Mac. I can also use Evernote on an Android phone, iPhone, or an iPad. The fact that this application works across multiple devices is one of the main reasons that I like it.

To get started with Evernote, you can go to the Evernote website on a computer and create a free account. You could also

download the app from the iTunes store or the Google Play store and then create your account on your phone. Once you have created your account it is pretty easy to create a note, just look for the button with the “+” sign. And then start typing your note and saving it. I have used this app for creating to-do lists, shopping lists, and journaling.

Evernote can be used as a simple note taking app that allows you to get to your information from anywhere, but it can also has some advanced functions.

Evernote allows you to categorize your notes by adding tags.These tags are simple words that you create and attach to the note to help you keep your notes organized. This is great for searching. Another function that Evernote does automatically is that it geotags your notes when you are on your mobile device. Geotags associate a location with your note or photo. The geo tagging can be handy if your location is critical to the information that you are writing about.

The app also allows you to compose your note with a standard toolbar of a word processor. You can change

the color of the text, enlarge your text, and edit your text in other ways.

You can also embed images into your notes. If you need to put web addresses in your notes, you can do that too. This would allow you to reference a site that you are writing about or that would provide additional information. Lastly, you can add attachments to your notes. Evernote allows you to attach a fi le to your note up to 25mb. So you could attach existing spreadsheets, documents, or pictures from your computer to your note.

Evernote autosaves as you write, which I feel is another fantastic feature.

After you are done composing your note you can share it by clicking the action button on the top of your note and sending it through social networks or through email. Your note is sent as a link, so if you make changes to your note, your recipients will always see recent updates.

I think this application should be on everyone’s computer because it is so flexible and fast, and best of all it is free. It has many uses, try it yourself and see.

Best of the Best schoLarship Winners announced at aLL countY concert Contributed Article CCMTA

The Chautauqua County Music Teachers’ Association (CCMTA) will sponsor its annual Spring All-County Concert in the Chautauqua Institution’s Amphitheater on Saturday, June 1, at 7:30 pm. This event features the county’s best student musicians from the twenty school districts located in Chautauqua County, in any one of several music ensembles.

Featured in this festival are the Elementary, Junior High, and Senior High All-County Choruses, and the Junior and Senior High All-County Bands.

Each student is selected first by their school’s music teacher and from there the list is pared down by the CCMTA chairpeople, who select the students (in some cases by audition, teacher recommendation, or through a score received by playing a solo for a New York State-certified music adjudicator) who will make the final roster for each group.

This year’s Elementary Chorus of over 200 fi fth and sixth graders will open the concert, conducted

by Erin Scudder. Scudder is in her ninth year as Vocal Music Director at Amherst Middle School where she conducts three large choral ensembles, three small choral ensembles, and teaches general music. She also directs and produces their annual musical production. She is actively involved with the Erie County Music Educators Association where she serves as a member of the Executive Board. Scudder has Music Education and Vocal Performance degrees from Houghton College, and a Master’s Degree in Music Education from the University at Buffalo, where she studied with Edwin Gordon.

Chorus.

Following the Elementary chorus will be the All-County Junior High Chorus, led by Dr. D. Jason Bishop, Director of Choral & Vocal Studies and Assistant Professor of Music at Drew University in Madison, New Jersey.

Hailed by the Erie Times News as “energetic, vital, and innovative,” Jason is in frequent demand as a guest conductor, clinician, adjudicator, and professional countertenor. In 2009, he was named “Outstanding Young Conductor of the Year” by the American Choral Directors Association of Pennsylvania, and was President-Elect of that organization from 20112012. Accompanying the Junior High Chorus will be Dr. Sarah Kahl, who is a member of the adjunct music faculty at Mercyhurst University. She also is the accompanist for the college choirs at Penn State Erie, The Behrend College, the Young People’s Chorus of Erie, and the Erie Philharmonic Chorus.

The All–County Junior High Band will be conducted by Dr. John Coggiola.

Coggiola is a Dual Associate Professor of Music Education in the College of Visual & Performing Arts and the School of Education, as well as the Chair of the Music Education Department in the Setnor School of Music at Syracuse University. As a jazz conductor and performer, Coggiola has shared the stage with such jazz greats as Don Menza, Howie Shear, Dr. Billy Taylor, and Freddie Hubbard, and currently performs with the Syracuse University Faculty Jazz Quintet. Coggiola holds a Bachelor of Arts in Applied Trumpet from the State University of New York at Fredonia, a Master of Music Education, a Master of Music in Jazz Performance, and a Doctor of Philosophy in Music Education from Florida State University.

Brenda Nitsch will conduct the All County Senior High Chorus. At Webster Thomas High School, Nitsch conducts the choirs and ensembles, directs the musical and serves as music department Lead Teacher.

She co-coordinates the Monroe County School Music Association’s AllCounty Festival SATB Choir and directs an annual summer creative arts camp. Nitsch also contributes as guest clinician/ presenter at area college workshops and NYSSMA Conventions. She holds a bachelor of music degree from Marywood University, a master of science in music education from Mansfield University and a master of music in vocal performance from the Eastman School of Music.

She was named Music Educator of the Year. Westfield choral teacher Kent Knappenberger will accompany the Senior High Chorus.

The last performing group will be the All-County Senior High Band, directed this year Dr. Stephen L. Gage, Professor of Music and Director of Bands at Youngstown State University’s Dana School of Music. He holds degrees from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, the Eastman School of Music, and the State University of New York at Fredonia where he also earned the Performers Certificate.

Gage has written numerous published articles on conducting, rehearsal techniques, and wind band literature, and he is an active wind band and orchestral guest conductor, clinician, and adjudicator of international repute. Gage and the YSU Wind Ensemble made their Carnegie Hall debut in 2005 and the group has produced seven CD recordings. The sixth CD in this series, Urban Requiem, was released on the NAXOS International Recording Label in June 2008 with numerous outstanding critical reviews and the seventh, Old Wine In New

Bottles was released by NAXOS in August 2012.

Since the 1960s, the concert’s moving finale has been Wilhousky’s arrangement of “The Battle Hymn of the Republic,” performed by a combination of the junior and senior high bands and choruses.

This year the finale will be directed by guest conductor Nina Karbacka, retired music teacher from the Jamestown Public Schools.

The concert itself lasts under two hours, but the time and preparation that go into the festival far exceed that moment in time on stage. Students begin rehearsing their music as soon as they receive it from their Chairperson, sometime in early spring.

On the day of the concert, these dedicated student musicians begin arriving on the Institution’s grounds between 8:00 and 8:30 am for a prompt 9:00 am rehearsal start. The day continues with rehearsals, lunch, and a few small breaks in between, until the students have dinner and dress for the concert.

A generous grant from the Thomas H. Brown Fund at the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation assists in making this festival possible. There are several expenses involved in a concert, not the least of which is providing each of the students with original pieces of music from which to study and perform. Due to copyright laws, every student must be supplied with his or her own purchased part for each song, totaling hundreds of dollars. Support such as the Thomas H. Brown Fund makes this possible, and for that CCMTA is grateful.

The 2013 CCMTA Scholarship winners will be presented to the audience at this concert. On May 8th, CCMTA hosted scholarship auditions at Forestville High School. These scholarships are awarded to Chautauqua County music students for summer music

Opening New Lines of Communication

DFT training leads to upgrades and savings for Dunkirk schools Contributed Article DFT Communications

Three DFT Communications employees recently completed Avaya IP Office Class training enabling them to service and install new and existing Avaya business telephone systems.

The training allows DFT to complete upgrades at the Dunkirk School System, slated to begin in July.

Dennis Rickerson, Vern Post and Roy Korn recently attended the training, offered through CSSA, (Communications Supply Service Association) an industry focused supplier dedicated to rural telecom service providers like DFT Communications.

The training will permit DFT to upgrade existing Nortel phone system owners to a new hybrid IP key/ PBX system affordably, without having to replace the telephone handsets, while adding a variety of attractive features.

Recently, DFT won a bid to complete phone system upgrades at Dunkirk Schools including four elementary, middle and high school sites. According to Ellen Ditonto, director of sales and business development,

DFT received the bid due to competitive pricing through its membership in CSSA, helping the district save over $80,000.

“Nortel was a huge producer of PBX’s, commonly used at very large institutions like Dunkirk Schools. Moving to the next level of hardware and software could have required replacing 400 handsets at $200 apiece, something avoided by using the Avaya IP Office 500 system.”

Another advantage is its compatibility with VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol), using a hybrid system, which combines VoIP with traditional TDM or digital handsets.

According to Jay Beers, senior sales consultant with DFT, the upgrade allows Dunkirk schools to free up over half the fiber optic strands they had originally assigned between schools for voice communications.

“Everything that we’re doing now is using two fiber optic strands to tie them together and the new (equipment) only needs one.”

Beers explains that will mean more fiber is freed to use for other networks, video or additional backup solutions for data. “It’s more efficient because it (Avaya)

“We have moved out of the organizational phase and have entered into the public input phase, which is critical to the planning process,” said Resnick.

“The data that we collect will help guide Pashek Associates in preparing the feasibility study.” The firm is due to have a plan prepared to present to the public later this year.

At the May 23 meeting, folks brought a good supply of questions; likely those posed by most interested in learning more about the trail.

“The purpose of the meeting wasn’t necessarily to answer questions, but to gather them,” said Resnick.

“The more information we can bring to Pashek, the

better they can do their job.

If they know the questions of the community; questions like where the trail will run, whether it will allow motorized vehicles, who will be responsible for cleaning and maintaining it. We received a lot of valuable input from the people that came out.”

Who’s going to pay?

Of course a common question is where the funding will come from to build and maintain the trail. While a definitive plan hasn’t been established, the it will be largely be grant funded.

“It would be our hope to incorporate any existing trail or networks,” said Resnick.

“We’re really looking at an extension of the Portage Trail. It is really right in the middle of this corridor, and we want to expand it.” Ultimately, expanding

What do you think?

While still in the early stages, the development of the Barcelona-Chautauqua multi-use trail is relying heavily on public input to guide the planning process.

“We have an online survey that we’d like people to take, that helps us to better plan and figure out the best way to make this trail a reality,” said Resnick.

That survey can be found at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/5WNB6P2.

Get By With A Little Help From My Friends With the leak delaying their trip, ‘Star of the Sea’ would never make it to its fi nal planned destination of Trinadad. However, once in Florida, the pair would be buoyed by a new friendship they had forged with a Canadian couple, owners of a vessel named “Oz,” which would become their new “buddy boat.”

Having Ken and Connie of “Oz” to rely on would come in handy during what they called their “dark night of the soul,” supplying company, a helping hand and encouragement.

Once, while ‘Star of the Sea’ was underway from Miami to the Bahamas, it lost steering, and the lights dimmed. Wagner radioed nearby “Oz” and followed their light, until Chris could made the last ditch effort which temporarily fi xed the problem.

Says Wagner, “one thing I’ve learned is you want to cross the ocean with a buddy boat - even if you’ve just met them.” Often it was a small, but needed support.

Flanders adds, “you’re so tired and you just want it to be over, and then someone starts telling jokes on the radio and makes it better.”

Pirates and Duck Hunters Other hazards and close calls awaited life on the water, including going through a storm, despite a fair weather forecast and making contact with a boat of Haitian refugees, who were suspected of having being infected with cholera.

Another time, duck hunters in small boats, came behind them very quickly, and with their masked faces, made the pair initially believe pirates might be trying to overtake them.

They also had to contend with each other, as each challenge of the sea was resolved by what they call “two type A personalities.”

Add to that what Wagner calls the learning curvesincluding her version of how events would be before the trip. “I thought it would be nice to sail during the day and rest at night, but because of the tides, all our sailing is at night.” Having one sleep, while the other sails, is also not an option.

There are the electronics, and handling the seas, as well as navigating at night which is something Wagner admits she never liked. Put simply, she says, “It’s a lot for two people to do an ocean crossing.”

Finally landing in the Bahamas was beautiful, but again, not what they would have thought. “The water was clear and beautiful and you could see every bit of sand beneath you,” says Flanders, not like the murky waters of the ICW. Food however was not plentiful. “Everything is brought in from Miami, and nothing is grown there.” When stopping at a market, they noticed shortages and cuts of meat they couldn’t identify. The islands, they said look like volcanic rock and have little soil. But the people, according to Wagner were “fantastic, very engaging and very helpful.”

With the boat’s mechanical problems, Wagner facing a hip replacement, and the impending hurricane season, the trip would actually take the pair two years. It was determined that they would keep their boat in Charleston until the next year. They found that their experiences and the friends the first year, made the second time around more enjoyable.

During their travels, Flanders kept a blog, and took numerous pictures of their experiences. Back home, she would eventually write a book about the adventure entitled “6 Knots.” She adds, “when I came back, I thought about all we had risked. We learned a lot but we were treated very well.”

As for Wagner, she says, “I dreamt my whole life about doing this, and I’m glad we did it.”

The Jamestown Jammers are the Class A Short Season affi liate of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Their schedule contains 38 actionpacked home games (hopefully plus playoff games) that span from the middle of June until the beginning of September.

For the professional baseball players that wear the Jammers jerseys and take the field, those games are an opportunity to play in front of their home fans.

For the men and women that wear the Jammers polos and work in the front office, those 38 days are the reason they bust their tails the other eight months of the year.

“Every day we get a little bit closer to the season,” Jammers General Manager Matt Drayer said. “Every day a little bit more is being knocked off my plate.

Between print deadlines, the signs that have to go up – you start feeling like the season is almost here. The clock is ticking and you’re always one day closer and we’re really looking forward to it.”

The full-time staff consists of Drayer and John Pogorzelski, the sales and operations manager. The rest of the staff is made up of college interns and seasonal help. It’s not always the easiest transition from year to year, completely changing out the sales team, media personnel and game day help.

“Yes, it’s difficult,” Drayer admitted. “Once you train a staff, by the time the season is over they’re a well-oiled machine and they’re ready to go. Then you almost have to start from scratch again. We have to make sure we get some good seasonal workers and college interns and just put in a lot of time getting them used to working in baseball. For a lot of them this is the fi rst time they’ve worked in a major sporting industry. We put the necessary time in training the staff and they do a really good job.”

One of those new interns is media operations manager Doug

Page, a communications major from Medaille College.

“I interned for a team back in Elmira that used to be in the New York-Penn League,” Page said. “I had been there for four summers and I was looking to move on past Elmira. I contacted (Drayer) and through talking with him I knew I wanted to come to Jamestown.”

After years of being a farm team for the Miami Marlins, the Jammers are in their first year of partnering with the Pirates.

While the change won’t affect anything like the team name or logo, the front office is excited

about the new parent club.

“We’re just really excited that we were able to team up with the Pittsburgh Pirates,” Drayer noted. “We’ve had a lot of strong, positive feedback from the community. Jamestown and Chautauqua County have a large Pittsburgh fan base and we’re glad we were able to team up. We’re looking forward to getting the season started.”

Another thing to be excited about is the condition of Russell E. Diethrick Jr. Park. The Western New York weather has actually been cooperative.

June Promises To Be A Great Sports Month

By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

Make no mistake; May was a great month for sports. We had the beginning of the National Football League OTAs, the start of the National Hockey League and National Basketball Association playoffs, a great rift between Tiger Woods and Sergio Garcia, high school postseason play, collegiate championships and two of the three Triple Crown races in horse racing. All that among many other events, to be sure.

But June, precious June, promises to be so much more.

Let’s start with an event that is already in full swing — the French Open. Professional tennis is as entertaining as it’s ever been right now. People point the finger at golf and say it’s lost its gentlemen’s edge and it doesn’t have any great rivalries, but tennis (especially men’s) does. Between world No. 1 Novak Djokovic, the Spaniard Rafael Nadal and the legendary Roger Federer, the game has a three-headed monster at the top of the game. Add in Britain’s Andy Murray and you have four legitimate superstars playing for another Grand Slam title. The finals are scheduled for June 9.

Forestville, pine Valley, Frewsburg on to sectional Finals

By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

High school softball playoffs are always exciting.

The one-and-done format lends itself to underdog stories and constant intrigue.

For the No. 1 Forestville Lady Hornets, however, they expected nothing less than to reach the Section 6 Class D final game for the third straight year.

With a 13-0 trouncing of No. 4 Ripley, Forestville proved again to be the class of the class. Senior Ryanne Dugan tossed a one-hit shutout and the offense collected 20 hits and looks to be getting hot at the right time.

Dugan recorded 14 strikeouts and allowed just a pair of walks and a third-inning single by Ryleigh Hawkins.

She had a streak of 41 consecutive scoreless innings earlier in the year so pitching a shutout is nothing new to her.

Ashley VanBuskirk had four hits in the win while Dugan helped her cause with three hits of her own.

The Lady Hornets will meet up with No. 6 Pine Valley in the championship game. The Lady Panthers will be there on the merits of their 13-3 win over No. 2 North Collins in their semifinal game.

Freshman Jessica Wilcox just missed throwing a no-hitter in the win as Beth Kibler recorded a hit with two outs in the seventh in-

ning for North Collins’ first base knock. Wilcox was what they call “effectively wild” as she struck out 10 but walked 14.

The Lady Panthers had seven runs on the board by the end of the second inning and cruised into the Class D fi nals. Alex Bentham had three hits, a double, two runs and an RBI to pace the offense.

The No. 1 Lady Hornets expected to be in the fi nals, but not many people expected No. 6 Pine Valley to be their opponent.

The two teams will meet Saturday at 4 p.m. at the Martin Road Complex in Jamestown.

In Class C action, the top-seeded Frewsburg Lady Bears knocked off No. 5 Chautauqua Lake, 6-2, to reach the Sectional title game.

Frewsburg runners crossed the plate four times in the first inning and that was all Samantha Mott needed in the circle. She allowed just four hits and four walks while striking out 10 over seven solid innings.

Like Forestville, Frewsburg is looking to capture a third consecutive Section title. The Lady Bears await the winner of the No. 2 Cassadaga Valley-No. 3 Cattaraugus-Little Valley semifinal contest. The original game was postponed due to inclement weather.

The title game is scheduled for Saturday at 3 p.m. at the Martin Road Complex in Jamestown.

outreach program over the past five years," said Ben J. Hayes, President of the New York-Penn League.

"In addition to selecting those students who meet and exceed traditional scholarship criteria, we enjoy being able to assist those who have enjoyed many special memories with their hometown team over the years."

The New York-Penn League Charitable Foundation initiated the scholarship program in 2009 as a way to assist high school seniors from within our league's footprint who not only meet and exceed traditional scholarship criteria, but have also demonstrated the positive benefits their local NYPL club has had on their life," said Ben J. Hayes, President of the New York-Penn League. "The Foundation is pleased to have this scholarship program in place and to support our 14 member clubs in their yearround community outreach efforts."

High school seniors interested in entering the 2013 Scholarship Contest can obtain the official application from the Jamestown Jammers front office located at Diethrick Park, by visiting the league's official website, New York-Penn League.com.

The deadline to submit applications to the Jammers front office is June 28, 2013.

Each club's winner, including the three $2,500 scholarship recipients, will be selected in late July and honored at a game in August.

The New York-Penn League and its 14 member clubs created the New York-Penn League Charitable Foundation, a 501(c) (3) charitable organization, in 2003. The mission of the Foundation is to provide focus and support for the collective and individual charitable and community efforts of the New YorkPenn League, its Clubs, and their staff.

Inland Trout Streams

The inland trout streams are in good shape with moderate to slightly lower flows. A variety of bugs are hatching now, including sulphurs, March browns, Grey Foxes and caddisflies.

With cooler temperatures in the forecast, look for better fly hatches in the late afternoon. Fly anglers can see good results by using the appropriate imitations.

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 good practice to outfit your spinners with a single hook rather than a treble hook.

Western New York anglers have a variety of Wild Trout Streams and Stocked Trout Streams to choose from. In addition, Public Fishing Rights Maps are available for many of the area's best trout streams.

Spring Trout Stocking

The DEC has stocked all of western New York's trout stocking waters with at least their first stocking increment. Throughout the month of May, hatchery staff will stock select waters with additional trout. Anglers can call the Randolph Fish Hatchery Fish Stocking Hotline at (716) 358-4950 for stocking updates. For complete lists of stocked waters and numbers of trout stocked, check the 2013 Spring Trout Stocking pages.

a pair of singles pushed the Tigers out in front 2-1 in the fifth inning. In fact, Akron had the bases loaded in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings but couldn’t manage any more run support.

With the Class B-2 championship once again in hand, Fredonia will take on the winner of the TonawandaSpringville game for the right to be called overall Section 6 Class B champions. That game will be played Friday at a yet-to-bedetermined site.

Meanwhile in Class D, the Pine Valley Panthers hoisted the sectional title for the fourth consecutive year after their 6-2 win over Brocton.

After losing a number of key players to graduation last year, the No. 3 Panthers weren’t supposed to be in this position. This was supposed to be a rebuilding year. But thanks to the efforts of Tyler Swanson on the hill, Pine Valley got past No. 4 Brocton.

Swanson hurled all seven

innings for Pine Valley, accumulating 10 strikeouts while allowing just five hits.

Scot Laurie was pretty good himself for the Bulldogs. He threw five innings with three strikeouts. An unearned run in the first got the Panthers started and a three-run sixth inning was enough to put the game away.

Coach Chris Buczek and the Panthers are becoming quite familiar with the Far West Regionals and will once again play for the

right to advance to states on Tuesday, June 4. The site, as well as the opponent, are yet to be determined.

In Class C, Westfield fell just short of its goal with a 7-4 defeat at the hands of Portville.

The No. 3 Wolverines were victims of their own poor fielding as the team made six errors. Still, they led 4-1 in the sixth inning, but the No. 4 Panthers were able to tack on five runs on just two hits against Westfield pitcher Nolan Hunt.

Golfer's

By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

not recorded a par on No. 1 in 11 attempts this year.

No. 2 was encouraging because of the drive. With the pond always threatening to gobble up short drives, I’m usually a little nervous. Tuesday, even with the thick, humid air, I didn’t even think about it.

I just teed off and cleared the pond by plenty. In fact, when we walked up to the other side I didn’t see my ball and thought for sure it ended up in the drink. I didn’t even look 20 yards up the fairway because I never hit it that far, but sure enough, that’s where it was.

No. 5 is probably my most consistently good hole on the course so I had high hopes after a pretty good drive, but again my putter abandoned me and I actually ended up with my only double-bogey of the day. The pin placement on the very back of the green didn’t do me any favors.

No. 8 was absolutely my best chance at par. In fact, after landing on the green on the par 3, I was thinking birdie. It was a long, uphill putt and as I was lining it up I said out loud “I have no idea how hard to hit it.” Then after it left the face of the putter I said “That hard!” because it felt just perfect. It broke per-

fectly, but hit the back lip of the cup, popped up and rolled about five feet away.

I was oh-so-close to nailing that 25-foot birdie, but of course I’ll get par, right?

Wrong. I pushed it again for yet another bogey.

Ryan has only been golfi ng a handful of times and this was his first time out this year, but his game rapidly improved hole-to-hole. The thing that really amazed me was that he didn’t hit behind the ball once. On a wet day I was worried a new golfer was going to take out some huge divots with errant swings, but his only problem was topping the ball and keeping his footing in the wet grass.

If you’re a reader of this diary, you know I’m not the best golfer in the world, but I’d like to play in a tournament or two this summer.

If you have or know of any open-to-the-public tournaments that still need teams, please email me. Also, if you have any tournaments or other events you’d like publicized please email me.

I love to come out to cover local events and the way I find out about them is usually through email. Thanks.

CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, MAY 31, 2013

Tony Kanaan Gets Elusive Indy 500 Victory

By Jenna Fryer AP Auto Racing Writer

Tony Kanaan had the car.

He had the nerves. And he finally had the luck. Now he has the trophy, too.

Kanaan won his first Indianapolis 500 on Sunday, ending 12 years of frustration with a crowd-pleasing victory for the popular Brazilian driver. After coming so close so many times, he couldn't help but feel nervous on that long, anticlimactic final lap under the yellow caution flag.

“I started to check everything in my car,” he said.

“Do we have enough fuel?

Four wheels? You kind of go crazy. The pace car guy, whoever it was, this guy is actually celebrating.

I'm like, 'Go! Can you go quicker? It's going to be a long lap if keep doing that.’”

It was one of Indy's most popular victories. As the crowd roared its approval, Kanaan flipped up his visor to wipe away tears. Then in Victory Lane he gave his bride of two months a long kiss and poured the celebratory winner's bottle of milk over his head.

The losers were pleased with the outcome, evidenced by a scene similar to rivals lining up to congratulate Dale Earnhardt when he finally won the Daytona 500 on his 20th try. Dario Franchitti, whose crash brought out the race-ending caution, stood grinning by his crumpled car, two thumbs up as Kanaan passed under yellow.

“When I saw who was leading, it cheered me up a little bit,” said Franchitti, last year's winner. “He's a very, very deserving winner.”

The fans thought so, too, standing on their feet, screaming, “TK! TK! TK!” as he and team

owner Jimmy Vasser went by during the traditional victory lap. It felt magical to Kanaan, as if he'd given the crowd at Indianapolis Motor Speedway a gift.

“It means a lot to me because so many people, I could feel that they wanted me to win, and it's such a selfish thing to do because what are they getting from it?” Kanaan said.

“I'm the one who gets the trophy. I believed that this win was more for people out there than for me.”

His chance came at the end of a history-making race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, zipping inside leader Ryan Hunter-Reay to roar into the lead - where he wanted to be in case another caution came out.

“I knew I had to get the lead on the restart because it could be a yellow, which happened to me plenty of times here, and it did,” Kanaan said.

“How funny is life? The yellow was my best friend.”

Kanaan had his fair share of chances to win at Indy, but came up short time and time again. He was leading when the rain came in 2007, only to lose to Franchitti when the race resumed.

In all, Kanaan went into Sunday's race with 221 laps led at Indy - more than any non-winner except Michael Andretti and Rex Mays - but his second-place finish to Buddy Rice in 2004 was the closest he had come to victory. He had a pair of thirdplace finishes, including last year - again to Franchitti. ''It's wonderful for him,'' said Mario Andretti, himself a victim of bad luck at Indy. ''He's raced here long enough that he deserves it, no question.''

The win for Kanaan and car owner Vasser was celebrated throughout the paddock.

Alex Zanardi, who came from Italy to watch the race and gave Kanaan one of his 2012 London Paralympics

medals as good luck, wept behind the pit wall as Kanaan took the checkered flag.

“I tell you I'm starting to think (the medal) really works,” said Zanardi, who lost his legs in a 2001 crash in Germany. “It's a dream come true to see Tony win, to see Jimmy Vasser win, my dear friend. I'm so happy, I'm so happy.”

It was Vasser who brought Zanardi's medal to Kanaan before the race, telling his driver that Zanardi wanted him to rub it for good luck.

“I actually cuddled with the thing,” Kanaan admitted.

Fellow Brazilian Helio Castroneves, like Franchitti shooting for a record-tying fourth Indy win, was happy for his long-time friend. ''Finally he's able to win this race. He's so close so many times, but the good news is the good old boys are still able to run fast,'' Castroneves said.

Carlos Munoz, a 21-year-old rookie making his first IndyCar start, finished second and Hunter-Reay was third.

“T.K. is such a fan favorite, absolutely, it's great to see him win it. If anybody is going to win it in the field, he's one of the few I'd like to see other than myself,” Hunter-Reay said.

On the final lap, the leaders came to the finish line all bunched up around Kanaan, saluting the IndyCar stalwart who had longed to add the final missing piece to his resume. That was about as slow as anyone had driven all day. The average speed was 187.433 mph, another Indy record.

Marco Andretti finished fourth, failing to win for the eighth time but taking over the IndyCar points lead.

Justin Wilson was fifth in the highest-finishing Honda on a day that was dominated by Chevrolet. Castroneves was

sixth. Pole-sitter Ed Carpenter led a race-high 37 laps and finished 10th.

For a time, it appeared the win would go to AJ Allmendinger, who led 23 laps in his Indy debut for Roger Penske.

Fired by Penske from his NASCAR ride last year after failing a NASCAR drug test, Penske gave him a second chance with this IndyCar opportunity.

Seven years after leaving open-wheel racing, Allmendinger finally ran “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing” and was leading when his seat belt came undone, forcing him to pit.

It put Allmendinger off the pit cycle, and he was forced to stop for gas twice far in advance of the rest of the field.

It meant Allmendinger had to drive his way back to the front each time, and he finally sputtered out at seventh.

“I'll be honest, pretty special moment to be leading at Indy,” he said. “My body kind of went numb, my mind was racing and I could feel my heart beating really fast, and that's a special moment I'll never forget.”

A year after 34 lead changes and a frantic finish created what many considered the best 500 ever, IndyCar had its hands full trying to top itself.

This one might have done it, with the slicing and dicing at the front, over and over and over again. The 68 lead changes involved 14 drivers, and 28 of the 33 cars were running at the end. With 100 miles to go, 25 drivers were on the lead lap.

“It was a hell of a race.

That's all I can say,” said Mario Andretti. “This is riveting competition, that's all I can tell you. It's just amazing. The reliability of the cars is there. The product is there. It's unbelievable racing, the best I've seen in years.”

MLB Power Rankings (through May 29, 2013)

By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

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) St. Louis Cardinals 34-17 Adam Wainwright has a strikeout-to-walk ratio of 74/6 and the best curveball in baseball.

2) Cincinnati Reds 33-19 Joey Votto and Shin-Soo Choo are Nos. 1 & 2 in the MLB in terms of on-base percentage.

3) Boston Red Sox 32-21 Since when did John Lackey (no earned runs in last two starts) remember how to pitch?

4) Texas Rangers 32-20 Yu Darvish has 20 more strikeouts than anyone in baseball. Will his arm hold up?

5) New York Yankees 30-21 Help is on the way with both Tex and Youk currently rehabbing in Double-A. 6) Pittsburgh Pirates 32-20 Only two teams have more wins. Too bad they both reside in the N.L. Central.

7) Atlanta Braves 31-20 Their 4.5 game lead in the N.L. East is the largest gap in any of the six divisions.

8) Detroit Tigers 29-21 Perhaps Rick Porcello is turning it around. The Tigers desperately need him to.

9) Arizona Diamondbacks 30-22 The D’backs have 16 stolen bases and 16 caught stealings. Maybe time to stop running.

10) Oakland Athletics 30-23 No team does more with less than the group of castoffs wearing Athletics uniforms.

11) Baltimore Orioles 28-24 The O’s have an MLB-best 71 home runs AND an MLB-best 40 stolen bases.

12) Colorado Rockies 28-24 Todd Helton’s next double will be No. 574 for his career — good for 19th all time.

13) San Francisco Giants 28-24 Matt Cain has allowed an N.L.-high 13 home runs.

Don’t they play in a pitcher’s park?

14) Washington Nationals 27-25 It’s not time to panic, but they’re looking more and more like a .500 team.

15) Cleveland Indians 27-24 A fivegame losing streak on the heels of a nice run has brought the Tribe back to reality.

16) Tampa Bay Rays 27-24 Why are we surprised about Fernando Rodney? Last year was the aberration.

17) Philadelphia Phillies 25-27 Thanks to being in the same division as the Mets and Marlins, Phillies are still alive.

Spurs Advance To Finals With Sweep Of Grizzlies

By Teresa M. Walker AP Sports Writer

Go ahead and count out the San Antonio Spurs as simply too old to win another title with Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and coach Gregg Popovich.

They're back anyway with the chance they've wanted so very much the past six years.

Parker scored 37 points in his best game this postseason, and the San Antonio Spurs finished off a sweep Monday night of the Memphis Grizzlies with a 93-86 win on Monday night for their fifth Western Conference title.

“It's a great feeling,” Parker said as he sat with the Western Conference trophy perched in front of him.

“Since last year, I promised to him (Duncan) that we will go back, go back to the Finals and get an opportunity to win the whole thing and I'm trying to do my best, try to be aggressive every night. I think everybody on the team, we really want to do it for him.

We win the West and now it's one more step. This is the hardest one.”

The Spurs now wait for either Miami or Indiana having swept two of their three opponents already this postseason, this the first sweep in a conference final since the Nets did it
