Wendy Corsi-Staub, alumni of both Dunkirk High School and SUNY Fredonia, will be the celebrity guest. Wendy is a NY Times Bestselling Author and is eager to lend her time, extreme talent, and support to benefit Chautauqua Striders’ Academic Programming in Dunkirk. C In the North County, Striders offers academic assistance, SAT, ACT, STEAM, Common Core, and tutoring C to students in many school districts. Our Dunkirk Academic Program is community based and is quite large, yet receives the least amount of funding. An educational, fun, and unique event such as “Wine Between the Lines,” helps us to assist more students, provides increased academic training and supervision of tutors, and W helps us to ensure that all of our students are meeting their school based, educational requirements. C Striders also has a Mentoring division, as well as Track & Field. Next spring we begin, “Kids on the Move,” i at Dunkirk School #7 and will host our first ever 5K Marathon in the North County! Our Life Skills Educa- R tion classes will be at Dunkirk Middle School, and Schools 3#, #5, and #7, throughout the entire 2016-2017 w f Academic year. b At this time, we are seeking corporate sponsors for our very unique, literary event, “Wine Between the o Lines.” Please review the levels of sponsorship and decide which one is best for you. I will be contacting you d personally in the next few business days and will draw up a sponsorship contract. Thank you, in advance, for whatever amount you are willing to contribute to this literary event which will defray overhead costs for one T t of the best youth advocacy agencies in Chautauqua County. a o f d m S t m w y c T s C s s a o C p i

The Weekly Word
THE GIFT OF PROPHECY CONTINUED people attending. That will include guarding what is being said from the pulpit. Only proven and trustworthy people should be permitted to speak to an assembly of God's people. (1 Tim 3:6) The Bible says in Romans 10:17, "Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God." Notice how faith comes; by HEARRev. Timothy Stahlman ING. The right kind of faith comes from hearFamily Church ing words of truth. But Jamestown can wrong faith come fcjamestown.org from hearing erroneous things? Sure it can. Every pastor and church Everything we hear has government has the rethe potential to become sponsibility to provide a what we believe. And safe atmosphere for the
what we believe becomes the lifestyles we participate in. The words that enter our ears need to be the right ones and that includes the words we hear at church. 1 Corinthians 14:31 says, "For you can all prophesy one by one that all may learn and all may be encouraged." Many ministries have taken that verse to mean that everyone in the church should have the opportunity to prophesy to the congregation. By taking this verse by itself you could see why they would believe that. Remember we must TAKE VERSES IN CON-
Horrigan And Rosas Announce New Marina Operator MARINA TO BECOME FULL SERVICE Contributed Article Office of the County Executive
It’s the beginning of a “new era” for two of Dunkirk’s marinas as Charles Pringle and his wife Leslie take the helm and begin operating Chadwick Bay Marina and the former Stefan’s Marina. Local officials gathered at Dunkirk’s Boardwalk Market on Monday to make the official announcement. The news comes after over a year of ongoing assistance and collaboration provided by Chautauqua County, the County of Chautauqua Industrial Development Agency (CCIDA), and the City of Dunkirk. Following the finalization of purchase and lease agreements, Charles Pringle now owns and operates the former Stefan’s Marina located at Lake Shore Drive West, and will lease
operation of the City’s marina located at Lake Shore Drive East. Financial assistance provided by the CCIDA included an AL Tech Revolving Loan Fund loan and sales and mortgage recording tax abatements related to acquisition and improvements. “I am thrilled to see that the year-long negotiations over the transfer of the Dunkirk area marinas to new owner Mr. Charles Pringle have successfully concluded,” said Vince Horrigan, Chautauqua County Executive. “This marks the start of a new era of economic development in Northern Chautauqua County coupled with the Athenex announcement earlier this year by Governor Andrew Cuomo. I congratulate Mayor Rosas and the entire CCIDA and City of Dunkirk teams for their great work.” CONTINUED ON PAGE 18
TEXT. Who is the Apostle Paul, the author of 1 Corinthians, talking to? Look at verse 29 of the same chapter. It says, "Let two or at most three prophets speak and let the others judge." Now we know that a prophet is someone who will first and foremost be a preacher and teacher of the Word of God with other spiritual gifts in operation in their ministry. A prophet will be a full time minister of the Gospel. So why would the Apostle Paul limit the speaking of proven ministers to no more than 3 pulpit speakers and then two verses later allow the whole church to speak? The answer
is simple: When he said "all may prophesy" he wasn't talking about the congregation; he was talking about the 2 or 3 prophets. I have been told of countless stories of how places will have an "open mic" for anybody who wants to prophesy. Dozens of people will line up and give a "word from God". That is not only unscriptural it is dangerous. Who is responsible for feeding the people of God in a church? Acts 20:28 says, "Therefore TAKE HEED to yourselves and to ALL THE FLOCK among which the Holy Spirit has made you
overseers..." 1 Peter 5:2 says something identical. These verses are warning pastors to be very careful what the flock is fed and nurtured with. A pastor has been given the responsibility to guard what the congregation hears. The pastor will be responsible for every word spoken from their pulpit. What if a pastor allows just anybody to speak to their congregation? Could the people of God hear the wrong thing? Could it hurt their lives? Yes it could and I have seen it happen many times. At Family Church, I guard carefully who I allow speak to the people.

ASI serves as New York State Captain for AFTA’s National Arts Advocacy Day in Washington, DC, as well as the New York State representative to their State Arts Action Network. ASI is currently part of AFTA’s “Arts and Economic Prosperity V” study that will be released next year quantifying the economic impact of Western New York’s cultural organizations and their audiences, as well as putting the region’s impact into a national context. ASI has presented on the topic of local advocacy at AFTA’s national conference, and their senior director of state and local government affairs has provided advocacy training in Western New York through ASI and the Greater
Buffalo Cultural Alliance. In 2015, ASI’s executive director was chosen as one of the nation’s top local arts agency leaders. “We’re excited to share AFTA’s national work on the transformative powers of the arts and the impact elected officials, veterans, healthcare and business leaders, artists and more can make on our community,” Kniazuk concluded. “We hope it leads to increased innovation and collaboration on a local level, and we will use it to inform our work going forward.” ASI’s professional development series is supported by Fund for the Arts, Erie County, and the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.

Horrigan Goes Fishing With Essay Contest Grand Prize Winner DOSSEY AND HAYWOOD RECEIVE FIRST PLACE IN THE SPORTS FISHERY ADVISORY BOARD’S 2016 ESSAY CONTEST Contributed Article Office of the County Executive
Chautauqua County Executive Vince Horrigan recently traveled to Chautauqua Marina to go fishing with one of the two grand prize winners of the Chautauqua County Sports Fishery Advisory Board’s 24th Annual Fishing Essay Contest. Natalie Dossey, a third grader from Sinclairville Elementary School, and Alexander Haywood, a sixth grader from Washington Middle School, won the opportunity to go fishing with Horrigan after their essays were selected out of 318 well-written and thoughtful entries from 13 different schools across Chautauqua County. Haywood was unable to attend the fishing trip, but joining Horrigan and Dossey were Nathan Dossey, Natalie’s father; Dan Heitzenrater, Executive Assistant; and Craig Robbins, Chautauqua County Sports Fishing and Hunting Director and Chautauqua County Sports Fishery Advisory Board Member. Robbins volunteered his professional guide services for the day’s two-hour excursion and Ken Shearer, owner of Chautauqua Marina, contributed to the event by providing a boat for the trip. The Fishing Essay Contest gave students across Chautauqua County in third through sixth grades the opportunity to recall their fun fishing memories as they wrote about who they would like to fish with and why. In May, the County Executive joined Sports Fishery Advisory Board Chairman Zen Olow; sports fishery advisory board members; and county legislators at their local school districts to deliver certificates to students who participated. Teachers and principals also received fishing flies made by kids and adults at the Northern Chautauqua Conservation Club in Dunkirk through the Kids on the Fly Program. “Each year I am so impressed with the high quality of the fishing essays submitted by Chautauqua County students,” said Horrigan. “I congratulate the teachers and thank the Chautauqua County Sports Fishery Advisory Board for its dedication to the fishing essay contest and to the promotion of sport fishing across Chautauqua County.” This year the board selected 57 winners who all received fishing poles and certificates. From this group of winners, the County Executive then selected the two grand prize winners to go on a fishing trip. Winners for this year’s contest were for third grade: Mya Carmona and Makenzie Land, Dunkirk School #3; Katrina Schrantz, H.C. Fenner Elementary School; and Darrien Allen, Hannah Anthony, Jera-

The Chautauqua County Sports Fishery Advisory Board has developed the essay contest to promote awareness of Chautauqua County’s ecology, the factors that influence it, and the role each student plays in maintaining its quality in the future. This year’s contest was sponsored by the County Executive’s Office, County Legislature, and a majority of the prizes were funded through the support of the Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation, Chautauqua County Federation of Sportsmens Clubs Inc., and Lake Erie Management Council. The contest has been held annually since 1992, with no essay being held in 2000.

HORRIGAN AND ROSAS ANNOUNCE NEW MARINA OPERATOR, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7 Together the marinas will now be known collectively as “Holiday Harbor at Chadwick Bay Marina.” Charles and Leslie may be new to Dunkirk, but they are not new to Chautauqua County. They have successfully owned and operated Holiday Harbor marina on Chautauqua Lake since 2009. Committed to the highest level of excellence in the marina industry, the immediate focus is on improvements, such as safety and assisting with boater needs so they can enjoy the remaining season. Customer service is a priority, therefore extended service hours, seven days a week will be provided. In addition, they will provide additional full-service dock slip rentals, launch and haul out services, full service gas and diesel sales, full service repair and maintenance, retail/ship store sales, and new and used boat sales over time. Dry storage will be available year-round. CCIDA Vice President of Marketing, Michelle Turner said, “I have known Charles and Leslie for many years and was there when they purchased Holiday Harbor Marina in Celeron, New York. Over the years I have witnessed the positive influx that their vision and hard work has brought to Chautauqua County. Working with them on the purchase of the Dunkirk marina over the last 18 months has been a great experience, and I know first-hand what they will bring to Dunkirk and all of the surrounding areas with the development and growth that will be realized under their ownership.” City of Dunkirk Mayor Wilfred Rosas has been instrumental at the local level
in facilitating the City’s piece of the project, working directly with the parties involved. Rosas said, “On behalf of the City of Dunkirk, I am proud to have been a part of this long awaited transaction. All parties, Mr. Pringle, the seller, and the City of Dunkirk residents will benefit as a result of the two marinas becoming one. More importantly, after meeting with Charles and Leslie, it is my expectation that the additional tourism and business generated by the Chadwick Bay Marina will be beneficial to the City as well as the entire County of Chautauqua. Rosas continued, “I would also like to thank the Chautauqua County Executive, Vince Horrigan, and the IDA Team: Kevin Sanvidge, Rich Dixon, Michelle Turner, and Kristine Morabito for their help and support in making this happen. They and our City Development Department: Duane Beard, Hector Rosas, and Nicole Waite, along with City Attorney Andrew Brautigam, Randy Woodbury and Tom Mleczko all worked long and hard to bring Mr. Pringle, his wife Leslie, and their team to our area, and we are pleased and proud to welcome them.” The new ownership will be targeting continued and increased boating activity from communities such as the City of Dunkirk and greater Chautauqua County, Buffalo, Erie, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and internationally from Canada. Providing assistance to the marinas aligns with the County’s, City’s, and CCIDA’s focus on developing tourism as an economic driver, attracting people to live, work and play in Chautauqua County.

A Bakers' Dozen Tips brown-ies. Or maybe even black-ies. Either way, the timer is there for a reason. Set it for the minimum bake time, and then check on it as soon as the timer goes off. 5. If your butter is softened, eggs should be too. Any other ingredients will mix far better when at room temperature as well. Unless your recipe specifically calls for cold ingredients. Just one more reason to read through the directions first! 6. Level all of your ingredients. Unless the recipe calls for a 'heaping' amount, use a knife (or clean index finger) to swipe off any excess. This means to measure everything. You can't get away with the experiments you can in cooking while you are baking. 7. Not sure if it's done yet? Keep a box of wooden toothpicks around to check. Insert them in the middle of a cake, breads, brownies, etc, and they should come out clean when it's ready to be done. Keep in mind that chocolate chips in the middle of a chocolate cake can throw this experiment off, chocolate chips will remain gooey, as they should, and will not give an indication of the rest of the cake. For cookies, the edges should be well formed and possibly a light golden brown. I say possibly, because it is easy to wait too long to see the golden brown, sacrificing the softness of your cookies. 8. Leave the oven alone! There is no correct way to cut
down on baking times from an oven standpoint, so please don't try to cook an hour long, low temperature recipe for half the time at double the heat. 9. Don't give into the temptation to constantly look at the food while it's baking. Opening and closing the oven often will alter the temp within your oven, and can cause it to bake unevenly. 10. Be careful when using substitute ingredients. Most ingredients are there for a reason. We have all been there when we're ready to bake and have everything but cream of tartar. Olive oil cannot and should not replace other oils in baking. Smaller quantity ingredients such as this can often be switched out for something else, but be cautious when altering main ingredients such as sugar, flour, eggs or vanilla extract. 11. Let cakes cool completely, and cookies set on the cookie sheet for a couple minutes after coming out. Unless otherwise directed, the majority of cakes need time
to set before being removed from their pans or frosted. I have broken many cakes in half due to impatience. Cookies need to 'set' before transferring to a cooling rack, or you will run the same risk. 12. Speaking of cooling racks, invest in some. Having the proper bakeware can make all the difference in the world. The cheap cookie sheets at the store are cheap for a reason. It may seem like an outrageous price, but consider how often it will get used, and how much better the results will be. 13. Scrape the bowl often. When you are preparing batter, dough, frosting, anything, really, there will be pesky ingredients that get stuck at the bottom. Leaving them down there will alter the taste and consistency dramatically, so invest in a good rubber spatula for better results. Well that's all for today, folks! I hope you appreciated my 13 tips and are able to utilize them. As always, thanks for reading! Happy baking from HBK.

What’s the Big Dill? EXPERTS LEAVE IT TO THE FOR ALL YOUR ELECTRICAL NEEDS
PICKLEBALL CONTINUES TO RISE IN POPULARITY ACROSS THE GLOBE
Fredonia | Jamestown
By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
Pickleball. There’s a good chance that you’ve at least heard someone mention it. There’s also a good chance that you have no idea what it is unless you’ve played it. The name of the rapidly growing sport doesn’t exactly elicit images of how the game is played. So what is pickleball? Believe it or not, the sport has been around since 1965 with the first known pickleball tournament being held in 1976, according to usapa.org. Pickleball is a paddle sport. Think of it as a mix between badminton, tennis and ping-pong. The game is played either oneon-one or in teams of two. It’s played both indoors and outdoors on a badmintonsized court. For full rules as well as tutorial videos, visit usapa.org. “It’s a great workout,” Frank Porpiglia said. “I play tennis and raquetball as well so it was an easy transition. I have one of these step-counters and I probably do 5,000 steps just playing pickleball. You can play this sport for a long time. It’s addicting. Once you get into it, you just love the game.” All across the country, pickleball’s popularity continues to skyrocket. Chautauqua County is no different with courts being set up in Dunkirk, Lakewood and Jamestown just to name a few. In the North County, Dunkirk’s Gary Mrowka is an offical card-carrying ambassador for the USA Pickleball Association. “Our friends from high school told us about it,” Mrowka explained how he got started. “We got together and they showed us how the game was played. From there, I got other people in our community

in Florida interested in the game. I got permission to mark our courts. That’s how we got started. We had so much fun down there that we said we were going to have to play up here, too.” The first step was to find a place to play. That opportunity came around in the form of the old tennis courts by School 6. Mrowka, along with several dedicated pickleballers cleaned up the courts with help from the City of Dunkirk. “We had some wonderful cooperation from the former administration with (former Dunkirk mayor) A.J. Dolce,” Mrowka explained. “He sent a crew here to do the initial cleanup. After that we put together a crew and we continued the cleanup and got things rolling. We marked the courts and painted them. The nets were the old tennis nets from the high school. The poles came from the city. The streets department and the recreation department were very cooperative.” The group meets and plays several times a
week both indoors and outside. They play at the outdoor court on Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday evenings and then inside at the Boys and Girls Club at St. Hyacinth’s on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. All are welcome at any location. There are new players coming every week and the experienced players are always happy to share the game they love. “It’s a sport for all ages,” Porpiglia added. “You can just come play for fun. I’ve always been more competitive when I play sports so I find competitive people to play with, too. It’s so much fun. We’re here to help people learn. Then if you want to get serious there are tournaments and other serious groups that you can play in. Anybody can play this game. I’d highly recommend giving it a try.” The outdoor courts are open to the public at any time. “We have a box with two balls and two paddles,” Mrowka explained. “If a person CONTINUED ON PAGE 29

CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, JULY 22, 2016
SPORTS COMMENTARY, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 25 high school sports). I’d be willing to bet that this portion of the list is going to be littered with defensive NFL players - sack masters, most notably. There’s probably a Buffalo Bills legend that is a shoe-in. With that unnecessary intro — to the list! No. 70: Rayfield Wright, NFL — This project has been especially fun because I’ve gotten to learn about guys I previously knew nothing about. Wright in one of those players. He played tackle for 13 seasons for the Dallas Cowboys and helped the franchise to two Super Bowl wins and five Super Bowl appearances during his tenure. He’s now enshrined in the Hall of Fame. In the running: Sam Huff, NFL — Once coached by both Vince Lombardi and Tom Landry, Huff made five Pro Bowls, won a Super Bowl and recorded 30 career interceptions. No. 71: Evgeni Malkin, NHL —Since entering the league at the age of 20, Malkin has twice led the NHL in points while also hosting the Stanley Cup a pair of times with the Penguins. Malkin has seasons of 50 and 47 goals en route to 295 for his young career (he’s still just 29 years old). In the running: Walter Jones, NFL — If this stat can even be comprehended by mortal man, Seattle attempted more than 5,500 passes with Jones on the field. He gave up just 23 sacks and was called for holding an insane nine times. He was rightfully inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2014. No. 72: Carlton Fisk, MLB — An MLB player way up here? You better believe it. Fisk’s iconic home run in the 1975 World Series is one of the baseball’s all-time highlights. Fisk clubbed 376 home runs and was an 11-time All Star. In the running: Ed “Too Tall” Jones, NFL — The Dallas Cowboys defensive end-turned boxer-turned defensive end had an athletic career like few others, but Jones was a force while in the NFL. The sack stat was unofficial for most of his career, but Jones “unofficially” had 106 quarterback sacks. No. 73: Larry Allen, NFL — It’s somehow satisfying when a player that I’ve watched play makes this list. It’s weird to think about while actually watching a game, but players from this era will certainly go down as all-time greats. Allen is one of those guys after a dominant 15year career that included 11 Pro Bowls and seven First-Team All Pro appear-
No one has ever sacked the quarterback more than Bruce Smith. There’s also never been a better No. 78 in any sport. (AP Photo)
ances. In the running: Ricardo Rincon, MLB — If you read last week’s you’ll get this. Rincon was a middling reliever for several years but combined with Francisco Cordova for an extra-inning no-hitter for the Pirates when I was a kid. It was the highlight of the franchise’s 20-year losing streak. No. 74: Merlin Olsen, NFL — There are various units in sports that I wish I could have seen play. The French Connection. The Steel Curtain. Even Michigan’s Fab Five was before my time. The Rams’ Fearsome Foursome is right up there and Olsen was at the heart of that defensive line. Olsen made 14 Pro Bowls in his 15 NFL seasons. It’s hard to truly judge his greatness because sacks (and even tackles) weren’t official stats during his playing days. In the running: Kenley Jansen, MLB — The current Dodgers closer has racked up 169 saves while compiling a measly 2.16 ERA since entering the league in 2010. No. 75: “Mean” Joe Greene, NFL — Yes, he was more than just the star of one of the more famous commercials in television history. If anyone personified Pittsburgh’s legendary Steel Curtain, it was Greene, who was twice named the AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year. He won four Super Bowls and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1987. In the running: Deacon Jones,
NFL — Another member of the Fearsome Foursome, Jones was the original sack master and one of the best defensive players in NFL history. Unofficially, Jones had three separate seasons of 20+ sacks. Barry Zito, MLB — In his early days, Zito was a key member of Oakland’s vaunted pitching staff with one of the best curveballs I’ve ever seen. No. 76: Steve Hutchinson, NFL — Here’s a player that I remember watching that really helped me begin to appreciate the importance of offensive linemen. Until then, they were just players that other teams took early but I ignored in PlayStation Madden drafts. He started every one of his 157 career games and was named an All-Pro seven times. He was a difference maker for both Seattle and Minnesota. In the running: Orlando Pace, NFL — Another player from the same era as Hutchinson, Pace anchored the line for the Greatest Show on Turf offense. No. 77: Ray Borque, NHL — This was an easy choice. Not only was Borque objectively one of the greatest defensemen of all time (his 1,579 points are the most ever by a defenseman), but I actually got to “meet” (see, briefly shake his hand) when his son was playing at Steele Hall several years back. In the running: Paul Coffey, NHL — Coffey’s stats basically mirror Borque’s with 1,531 career
points. Willie Roaf, NFL — He played for both the Saints and the Chiefs and all he did for 13 seasons was block. He was a steamroller for some great rushers and landed in the Hall of Fame in 2012. No. 78: Bruce Smith, NFL — “Bruuuuuuuuce!” Enough said. Okay, maybe a little more. He’s the NFL’s all-time sack leader. He led the Bills to four straight AFC titles. He recorded 10 or more sacks in 13 seasons. He was virtually unstoppable. In the running: Anthony Munoz, NFL — When you make eight straight Pro Bowls, you’re doing something right. That was the case for Munoz, who was a force at offensive tackle for the Bengals for 13 seasons. No. 79: Roosevelt “Rosey” Brown, NFL — Nothing against Brown, but I was surprised that I couldn’t find a more contemporary player for this honor. Brown, however, is certainly deserving. He reeled off nine Pro Bowl seasons with the New York Giants and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1975. In the running: Jose Abreu, MLB — Abreu came over from Cuba and is in just his third MLB season, but his power is respected across the league. He wasted no time in adjusting to MLB pitching, having launched at least 30 home runs in each of his first two seasons.

New Mini-Golf Now Open at Midway State Park Contributed Article Midway State Park
Putt-A-Round Chautauqua is the name of the new miniature golf course that is now open at Midway State Park on Route 430 in Bemus Point. Named for the county’s varied sites and themes which are featured on the course – including the National Comedy Center, Chautauqua Institution, and many more – the new 18 hole course was hailed as “one of the best in the region” by Shawn Murray of Bradford, PA who played with his family over the recent holiday weekend. “Challenging – but not discouraging – and fun for everyone, “ he added. The new course came about through an unusual partnership between New York State’s Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation which operates Midway State Park, and the nonprofit Friends of Midway State Park, an allvolunteer charitable group that has been raising funds to restore key rides and features at the park for the last six years. Through this partnership, the state contributed $200,000 in materials and the Friends group raised $270,000 for design, labor, and the building out of the features on the course. Bob Wooler, President of the Friends of Midway emphasized, “The teamwork with the state was unique, but the vision and driving force behind Putt-A-Round Chautauqua came from Peter Sullivan, a local resident and golf enthusiast whose energy and passion made this happen.” The course is open Wednesday through Sunday from noon to 10 p.m. and the cost to play is $5 per round. According to Wooler, “It is important to emphasize that although the rides and the rest of Midway State Park close at 7 p.m. daily, the mini-golf stays open until 10.” During these evening hours all proceeds from
mini-golf play will go into a fund that will be dedicated to purchasing rides and attractions for Midway to further restore it to its 1950s heyday. “By playing the course in the evening,” he explained, “you can be helping to buy a ferris wheel, a paratrooper, or a scrambler ride to add to the attractions at Midway, one of the oldest continuously operating amusement parks in the country.”

We want anyone to be able to come here at any time.” For some, pickleball is allowing them to continue to participate in sports despite age or injuries that might keep them out of other sports. “It allows me to play a paddle sport,” Paul Cybart shared. “I used to play a lot of raquetball. It got to the point with elbow and shoulder pain that I couldn’t play anymore. I came here with some reservations last August. I started playing and really liked it. Raquetball and ping pong gave me a good foundation to jump right into this. “I’ve gone down to play in West Seneca,” Cybart continued. “There’s a big group with a lot of really good players. I wanted to see how I stacked up against the competition. It was humbling when we played the top guy. We got beat 7-0, 7-0, 7-0 when we played him. I’ve seen an 80-year old guy down there playing that was basically handing people their butts.” The overall love of the game was evident in all of the 20 or so pickleballers at the court. People in their 20’s were competing in against folk in their 70’s and everyone was having a wonderful time. It’s truly a game that’s accessible to everyone. That doesn’t mean it’s perfect. “If I had to change anything, it’d be the name,” Porpiglia said with a laugh. “People know tennis or baseball

or basketball. But when you say ‘pickleball’ you get a lot of funny looks. Once you get past the name, you can just enjoy the sport.” According to usapa.org, the origins of the name ‘pickleball’ aren’t entirely certain. One story goes that co-inventor Joel Pritchard’s wife Joan called it pickleball because it reminded her of a “pickle boat in crew where oarsmen were chosen from the leftovers of other boats.” Another of the co-inventors, Barney McCal-
lum, claimed the game was named after Prichard’s dog, Pickles. Wherever the name came from, pickleball is clearly here to stay. The US Open Championships were held in Naples, Florida and the event was covered by CBS. That type of coverage shows just how popular this sport is with the masses. Find a pickleball group near you.

I LIKE BIG PUTTS AND I CAN NOT LIE By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
Well, ladies and gentlemen…it happened. “It” being, of course, breaking 40 in a nine-hole round. It’s a goal I’ve been chasing for years and boy oh boy did it feel awesome to finally reach that mark. I’m slightly torn on how I feel about who I played this historic round with. Hear me out. Bryan and I play kind of as a team. We add our totals together at the end and that’s our “score” that we try to beat next time. Sometimes one of us shoots better and the next time the other will shave a few strokes off. Our best this year is 91 when I shot a 42 and Bryan shot a 49. Yes, there’s definitely room for improvement there. And then there’s my cousin Nick, who has become my No. 1 golfing partner in 2016. He’s seen me come close (41 at Cassadaga Country Club) and he’s seen me play abysmally. It would have been fun to share my 39 with someone who really understood just how much I’ve been chasing it and talking about it. The person I did play with this fateful day, however, was one of my oldest friends in the world. We were the best of friends in elementary school before kind of going our separate ways in middle and high school (as tends to happen). I’m talking about my buddy Chris, who met me up at Hillview on a sticky, humid afternoon. We had been trying to schedule a round together for years and something always prevented it from happening. So when that first tee got pushed into the ground and that initial drive smacked, it was a long time in the making. It was evident right from the start that I was on my game. I had my “normal” drive back. I have a few different drives in my arsenal. Sometimes I yank them way, way left. Sometimes I toe them off to the right. There has been a lot of each of those this season. My natural drive, however, comes off the club slightly left before gently bending back into the middle of the fairway. It’s not a slice. I don’t turn my whole body to the left to accommodate the slice. The ball just starts left, goes quite high in the air and arches back. It’s really quite a pretty shot even if I probably lose some distance with that wasted motion. Anyway (shakes the cobwebs loose), my drive has been slowly coming around in the past few weeks and I finally have it exactly where I want it. That’s a big help towards shooting a good round. A par on No. 1 set things up nicely. That’s a relatively
long par 4 that I rarely give myself a chance for par. an iron shot left. This time I had several extremely I might only have hit greens in regulation twice this large trees between me and the green. I had a small year. So to start a round with a ‘4’ on the scorecard window to put my ball through, but couldn’t even was a promising start. really see the green. I basically closed my eyes and hoped after it left my club. Chris was standing up No. 2 proved how hard it is to get par. One bad shot near the green and said the ball was eight feet from can put you in a really tough position. My drive was the pin. I honestly thought he was pulling my leg. My great, but my ensuing hybrid shot (which has been putt again looked perfect but lipped out. Still, after a strength of mine this year) was yanked a bit left, though well struck. The ball came to rest right under that second shot, I would have been thrilled with a a small group of three trees off the left of the fairway. bogey. I had no choice but to punch my third shot out. I was A pretty standard bogey on No. 8 set me up for a simply too close to a tree to take a shot at the green. chance at a 39. I was going to need a par on the 236It was an okay punch, but didn’t reach the green. A yard par 3 to get it. Why I added up the scores before chip left me with a relatively tough par putt.

What happened next is perhaps something I’ve never done before. I ran off a string of four consecutive pars. That included No. 4, which I hadn’t yet recorded a par on this year. That also included the par 3 No. 5, which I missed the green on but scrambled for a par. The string of pars got broken on No. 7, but it could have been much, much worse than the bogey I ended up with. Again, the drive was good, but it was the second shot that got me in trouble as I again yanked
