There is opportunity to get it right next year by improving committee discussion, allowing for adequate negotiation and conducting hearings to allow for an understanding of budget bills. The time has come for major overhauls in our state budget process in Albany in order to create a transparent system that truly allows our legislators to participate in discussions, ask important questions, and be able to review bills before they are asked to vote yes or no. Despite our concerns about the business and political ramifications of this recent budget process, there were a several items in the spending plan that are very good news for Chautauqua County that Governor Cuomo, Senator Young and Assemblyman Goodell should be applauded for achieving. Most notably, there is a $200-million allocation for the new Athenex manufacturing facility in the Dunkirk area, funding to help offset the tax loss from the mothballed NRG plant, increased aid to local school districts, funding for transportation projects throughout Western New York and poverty reduction funding for the City of Jamestown. We are grateful for funds being allocated to priority projects in our region, yet remain deeply concerned about the process that resulted in a budget which will carry long term ramifications for the business community statewide.

Keeping The Faith

Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church Fredonia fcfredonia.org

Dear Pastor, My pastor mentioned that we should dress our best at church. I thought God “looks at the heart” and doesn’t care about stuff like our clothes. What gives? Dear Keeping the Faith reader, this is a great question! Our culture has always prided itself on individualism and personal freedom. While this is a God-supported gift, we can also choose to use this freedom to burn American flags. Our attitude and understanding of spiritual freedom can also influence our actions toward the things of God, including how we dress at church. Let’s look at this issue. There are many scriptures that talk about honoring God.

For example, in Malachi 1:6, "A son honors his father, and a servant his master. Then if I am the Father, where is My honor? And if I am the Master, where is My respect?' says the Lord of hosts to you….” In this scripture God is chastising the priests for presenting inferior meat offerings. The priests “good enough” attitudes offended God. In John 5:23, Jesus says, “…that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent Him.” Its clear from these scriptures (and many others) that honor is important to God. It is important, therefore, that we need to understand what honor is. If we look up the Biblical word “honor”, it means to act or

demonstrate the respect and value of God (Christ) and His sacrifice and blessings given for us. According to one definition, honor requires “proof of faith” or a demonstration of our heart. In your question you mention that “God looks at the heart.” In 1 Samuel 16:7 God declared, “People judge (for a new king) by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." But remember…David’s heart was humble before God and “humility goes before honor (Proverbs 18:12).” So, to respond to your question…it’s not about the specifics of how you dress but that you take the time to present your very best to God as a way to honor Him. We have a saying, “if you only have jeans… wear your best jeans!” If you

family church F R E D O N I A

can honestly say that your decision about how you dress for church comes from a pure, respectful, and humble heart… then rest assured that your actions are pleasing to God. Next week…we will continue on honor!

Democrat Lee Hyson Announces Candidacy For NY Senate Seat Contributed Article Lee Hyson

Lee Hyson, 33, announced he will run with the Democratic Party to represent the 57th New York State Senate district that encompasses Chautauqua, Cattaraugus, Allegany and the lower portion of Livingston County. “I fully appreciate the opportunity to represent this important district and will work hard to promote its interests,” Lee said. “I stand with the people of the Southern Tier in the 57th district, who deserve someone who is hard-working, intelligent, loyal, and knows and cares about the people.” Lee Hyson grew up and attended school in Salamanca, NY. In 2005, he earned his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Cleveland, Ohio’s Case Western Reserve University. An expert in geotechnical operations, he has a broad background in business and the private sector. When not working as an engineer, Lee is an avid outdoorsman and proponent of strengthening this region’s tourist economy. “I will bring a fresh perspective to State Politics. All sides need to collaborate to solve problems in ways that are affordable but do not sacrifice the quality of services government delivers to create strong communities.” He continued, “Our people - especially the younger generations - need to be empowered, and made to feel that they have a voice in what happens in this area. I will work enthusiastically with all our

communities to ensure the voice of the Southern Tier is heard in Albany. I will focus on our local issues, including finding ways to undertake the heroin epidemic ravaging our communities. I will focus on these issues until they are resolved,” concluded Lee.

Homemade by Scott:

Lo Mein By Katy Wise Contributing Writer

The other night we were in desperate need of groceries. I had put it off for far too long, and it needed to get done. The kind of situation where you quietly consider how many times you can feed your kids cereal in one week... And then you run out of cereal. Ok, ok, that's a bit more dramatic than it really was. But we did need groceries. My husband and I decided that the easiest way to accomplish this would be for him to stay home while I left to shop. Usually I try to take the kids with me during the day so that we can have more family time when their daddy gets home, and also because they like going to the store. Here's the thing with three little kids, though. There's only so much you can fit in the cart! When your cart is full of cute toddlers, you run out of space for toilet paper and diapers pretty quick. And

there is no skipping those two essentials. So, long story short, daddy was in charge. The only instruction I gave him was to not feed them cereal for dinner. My husband, the wonderful guy and helper that he is, went above and beyond with dinner. He made something that was fun for them to eat, homemade, and healthy! Major brownie points for Scott Wise, right there. Here is the recipe for Daddy's homemade Lo Mein! Enjoy! Ingredients • 3 packs ramen noodles • 2 eggs • 1/2 bag frozen peas • 10-12 diced baby carrots • ½ can corn • 1 clove minced garlic • ½ teaspoon ground ginger

• ¼ c. low-sodium soy sauce • ¼ c. olive oil Directions Serves 4-6 Prep time: 10-15 minutes Cook time: 10-15 minutes • Boil water in a medium size sauce pan for Ramen, and cook following package directions. Do not use included flavor packet. Once cooked to al-dente, drain water. • In a separate pan, steam or boil carrots to a medium consistency, then add peas and corn. Add a splash of soy sauce for flavor. Drain when carrots are soft. • In an electric skillet or wok, heat minced garlic in olive oil to a simmer. Add eggs and fry. Add a splash of water to reduce burning, then add cooked ramen noodles. Pour in soy sauce and add ginger. Stir frequently, adding water as necessary to reduce sticking. Add vegetables, and continue until well-mixed. Reduce to simmer for 5 minutes and serve.

Greek Feta Dip

Total Time: 30 mins Prep: 15 Cook: 15 Servings: 6 Ingredients • 8 potatoes, cubed (half peeled or half with skin) • 2 teaspoons salt • 6 slices bacon, diced & crisp cooked • 6 green onions • 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded • 16 ounces sour cream • 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper • 1 cup Miracle Whip or 1 cupmayonnaise Directions • Cube and boil potatoes with salt. • Drain. • Crumble bacon and slice onions (including tops). • Combine sour cream, pepper and Miracle Whip. • Add to potatoes. • Add bacon, onions and cheese (reserve some of each for top). • Mix with potatoes. • Pour into baking dish. • Top with reserved cheese, onions, and bacon. • Bake 350 for 10-15 minutes (until cheese melts).

Total time: 25 mins Prep: 15 min Cook: 10 min Servings: 2 Ingredients: • 1⁄2 cup feta cheese, crumbled • 1⁄4 cup kalamata olive, pitted and diced (add more if you love them) • 1⁄4 cup garlic-infused extra-virgin olive oil (the type for dipping) • 2 slices pita bread Directions • Combine the feta cheese and the olives. • Drizzle the garlic infused oil over the mix, until it looks juicy and perfect for dipping your bread into. • Spray a skillet with olive oil baking spray, or pour enough olive oil in the skillet to just coat the bottom. Heat over medium-high heat. Warm your pita bread in the skillet. Remove, and cut into quarters. Repeat with the other piece of pita bread. (When desperate, I've seen this eaten with yeast rolls.). • Serve the bread warm from the skillet with the feta cheese mix. The feta cheese/olive mix should be at room temperature or just slightly warmer. You don't want the olive oil congealed, so if made ahead of time, zap it at 50% in the microwave to knock the chill off of it. It's almost like Greek crostini!

Scores of volunteers have made it a springtime tradition to make the Audubon Nature Center buildings and grounds more beautiful and friendly for visitors and the animal residents.

After all the hard work, lunch is provided to all volunteers. You are asked to make reservations ahead of time so the staff can better plan the day. After registering that morning, you choose a crew to work on a project. Past projects have included pulling non-native plants, planting native seeds and shrubs, sprucing up the gardens, picking up trash as part of our Roadside Cleanup, and trail blazing. You’ll be dirty and tired at the end of it all, but oh-sosatisfied with the work that you did. The schedule is: • 8:30-9 a.m. - Registration • 9 a.m. - Select work crew and learn about the importance of what you are doing • 9:30 a.m.-noon - Work, work, work (and have fun!) • Noon-1 p.m. - Lunch and prizes Participants are encouraged to wear clothes that can get dirty, dress for the weather, and bring work gloves if they have them.

Everyday Heroes Round 2

By Brad Jarrett Contributing Writer

Last week we discussed what it means to be an everyday hero, and some actions that, when done consistently, will put you on the fast track to becoming one. We looked at smiling, laughter, and focusing on others to see how these bolster fitness levels, and make you

a hero in the eyes of friends, family, and community. The funny part is we’ve barely scratched the surface discussing what it means to be an “everyday hero”. The next 3 actions to mention… Everyday Heroes: • Stay fit for the call. • Become one percent better every day. • View themselves as servants. Stay fit for the call. Heroes know they’ve been created for a reason; to accomplish a specific purpose. With this purpose comes responsibility, to honor the body, mind, and life they’ve been given by remaining fit for their calling. There are 4 pillars of fitness we consistently refer to; mental, spiritual, social/emotional, and

physical. A hero consistently strives to remain fit in all of them, as a large deficit in any makes it difficult to accomplish their purpose. Physical deficit: Being physically unable to perform things you’re called to do through neglect of your body, or lack of attention to physical fitness. Mental deficit: Fear, anxiety, worry, etc. Not believing you have the ability, or are good enough to do what you’ve been called to do. Many people get derailed in this arena. Social/emotional deficit: Not having outlets, activities, or people to spend time with makes it difficult to accomplish your purpose, as it’s hard to accomplish anything significant on your own. We’ve been created to live in community with others. Spiritual deficit: Lack of belief

in Something Greater than self. Whether it’s God, or the betterment of mankind, this belief is necessary to get your mind off selfish motives which lead to trouble. Become one percent better every day. This looks different for everyone, but is the calling of a lifelong learner. If you’re going to help others, you must first help yourself by taking time to develop and become better. My way of becoming better is reading the bible, for others it could be reading a favorite book, checking interesting articles, or spending time practicing a hobby. Consistently filling your brain with new information is a great way to grow stronger mentally, and the application of your newly gained knowledge will be beneficial to others. View themselves as ser-

vants. It’s a simple, but undeniable law, if you wish to be a hero, you must become a servant (Matt. 20:26). Heroes do not seek their own benefit; rather the benefit of others. In fact, they are often willing to sacrifice their OWN good, for the good of others. This means you’re willing to serve even while tired and hungry. You try your hardest to love, and do good to ALL people even when your fuse is running short. Being a servant means you help others, which is interesting, because that’s the job description of a hero. Meaning… “Servanthood is not the road to greatness, it IS greatness”~Anonyms The world needs heroes... But are you willing to serve? Fitness Will Be Greater.

disease, a life expectancy of 10 + years, the willingness to take this aspirin daily as well as have the low risk for internal bleeding. These factors should be determined by your doctor. Based on all these factors, you should have an open conversation with your doctor to express your own concerns and values and ultimately make a wise decision about taking baby aspirin daily. Aspirin works by keeping your blood thin and preventing blood clots in your blood vessels. Blood clots can block blood flow to your heart and brain and in turn could cause a heart attack or stroke. Researchers have also found that aspirin blocks the body’s inflammatory response and so prevents (inflammatory) changes in body tissue. It is this inflammatory change process that may promote tumor development and growth.

The USPSTF is a task force that puts forth recommendations relating to preventive healthcare such as appropriate screening for health conditions, counseling services and preventive medication. The agency is part of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and has been in existence since 1984. The expert panel is made up of professional leaders in primary care, evidence-based medicine research, family medicine, pediatrics, internal medicine, gynecology, obstetrics, nursing and behavioral health. The task force along with other experts remind us that aspirin therapy is only one aspect of preventing heart disease and colon cancer. Eating a healthful diet, controlling blood pressure and cholesterol levels, regular exercise and timely screening are also critical. A diet rich in whole

fruits, vegetables and grains, legumes and fish; and low in saturated fats, salty, sugary and processed foods is recommended for heart disease and cancer prevention. At least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity and two sessions of strengthening exercise every week (more minutes and higher intensity is better) is recommended. An annual physical starting at age 50, along with colorectal cancer screening at age 50, will help prevent heart disease and colon cancer. Before age 50, you likely should go for a check-up or “well” visit at least every other year to establish a relationship with your primary care provider. During a well visit, discuss your overall care plan and how often you should be seen based on your family and personal medical history and current state of health.

3 Ways Scents Can Impact Your Mood Contributed Article StatePoint

Have your spirits ever cheered suddenly when you entered a room? Have you ever been whisked away to a different time and place after breathing in a familiar fragrance? The way you feel is affected by more than what meets the eye. When it comes to your mood, scent can be a very powerful force. Here are three ways scents and feelings are intertwined: 1. Scent and Memory Scent and memory are deeply connected. A bottle of coconut sunscreen can bring back memories of days at the beach. Fresh baked cookies can be a reminder of home. It’s unsurprising that a scent reminiscent of childhood is the easiest to name. Found in classrooms, backpacks, pencil cases, cubbies and desks everywhere, Crayola crayons were listed among the top 20 most frequently identified smells in a study conducted by Professor William Cain at Yale University. 2. Scent and the Seasons Along with the sights and sounds of each season are signature aromas -- from flowers and fresh rain in spring to gingerbread and pine in winter. Many people use scented home décor touches, such as candles, to draw on the qualities of each season and welcome it into their homes. For example, the six new spring fragrances from Yankee Candle embrace the season’s signature aromas, such as the crisp scent of a new blossom or cotton drying in the sunlight. Evocative of the greenest time of year, scents like Flowers in the Sun, Line Dried Cotton and April Showers can rejuvenate the home. More information can be found at www.YankeeCandle.com. 3. Scent and Well-Being Stress is not just bad for your mood; it can be harmful for your health. But scent can be used to reduce stress, along with anxiety and pain. A practice called aromatherapy is used everywhere, from hospitals to homes, and has been shown to have positive effects on wellness. While one should seek out an expert aromatherapist for certain treatments, anyone experiencing tension can relax by filling his or her home with beloved fragrances from candles or incense. Take these steps to fill your life with the aromas that best evoke the season, make you feel healthy and inspire happy memories.

Opera House Cinema Series to Screen “Hello, My Name is Doris” Contributed Article Fredonia Opera House

The next feature film in the Opera House Cinema Series is the sweetly comic “Hello, My Name is Doris,” starring Sally Field. It will be screened on Sat., Apr. 16, and Tues., Apr. 19, at 7:30 p.m. When Doris Miller (Field) meets John Fremont (Max Greenfield), her company’s hip new art director, sparks fly ... at least for Doris. When Doris begins showing up at John’s regular haunts, she wins over his hipster friends. Her new life brings Doris a thrilling perspective, but also creates a rift between her and her longtime friends and family, who believe she’s making a fool of herself over a guy half her age. With her life turned upside down, and eager for all the experiences she has missed out on, Doris throws caution to the wind and follows her heart for the very first time. This witty and compassionate late-life coming-of-age-story also starts Tyne Daly. Rafer Guzman, in Newsday, calls the film “a winning comedy-drama built around one of cinema’s most endearing leading ladies.” Gary Goldstein, in the Los Angeles Times, calls it “a brave little film that shows it’s never too late to come of age.” Manohla Dargis, in the New York Times, says the film “uses this funny, outwardly ridiculous character to tell a simple story about a love that rarely speaks its name, including in movies: that of an older woman for a much younger man.” April Lapin, on NPR, says “we feel Doris’ pain simply because Field is one of the most gifted actors working, capable of being flighty and nervy and deeply sad all at the same moment.” Rated R for language, “Hello, My Name is Doris” runs one hour, 35 minutes. The Opera House Cinema Series is sponsored by Lake Shore Savings Bank. Additional support comes from the United Arts Appeal of Chautauqua County, the Arts Services Initiative of WNY Inc., and the Give for Greatness

program. Tickets are available at the door for $7 (adults), $6.50 (seniors & Opera House members) and $5 (students) the night of each screening. A book of 10 movie passes is available for $60 at the door or online at www. fredopera.org. For more information, call the Opera House Box Office at 716-679-1891. The Opera House is equipped with individualized closed captioning headsets for the deaf as well as with assistive listening headsets for the hearingimpaired. Simply request one from any usher or Opera House staff member. Headset funding provided by Robert & Marilyn Maytum, the John Ben Snow Memorial Trust, the Dunkirk-Fredonia Lions Club, and by a grant from Theatre Development Fund’s TAP Plus program in partnership with the New York State Council on the Arts.

First Women Create Salon Wednesday, April 20 Contributed Article Women Create

If you’ve ever wondered what the artist was pondering when she created her work, Women Create is offering an opportunity for you to find out. Every Wednesday evening during the April 15-May 11 showing, salons will feature artists whose works are on display at Women Create, the biennial juried exhibit of women’s art in Jamestown, New York. The presenters will give brief talks about their work, interspersed with questions, answers, and conversation. The salons will be 7-9 p.m. at the Dykeman-Young Gallery and Vintage Emporium, 100 East Second Street, in downtown Jamestown. On Wednesday, April 20, the first salon of the series will spotlight Marcia Merrins, Cathy Panebianco, and Kimberly Turner. Cathy Panebianco is exhibiting two works, an archival digital image “Heartache” and archival digital print, “Moving On.” A fine art and animal photographer living in Jamestown, Panebianco has exhibited her work in galleries in the United States and internationally, including a recent honorable mention at the Mobile Photography Awards and a group Visual Narratives Show at the PhotoPlace Gallery. Of her work Panebianco says, “I have always searched for place, both a place to live and my place in the world. As a child, I moved to new cities on a regular basis with my family. Even with a stable home life, I still craved that feeling of finding a sense of place and where I felt ‘at home.’” Her works on exhibit, “are just two images in this series that explores my search for not only a physical place, but also an emotional home.” Fredonia, New York, resident Marcia Merrins is a ceramic artist and president of the North Shore Arts Alliance. After serious involvement with the League of Women Voters as state president and on the national board, she immersed herself in developing her art. She has participated in several juried shows and exhibitions throughout the region including the Clothesline Festival in Rochester, New York, and opens her studio, Kniti Griti Works, as part of the Chautauqua Lake Erie Art Trail. Merrins’s Elephant sculpture on display is handbuilt, sculpted, and raku fired, just one of her individually crafted, distinctly unique elephants, with different personalities. Her “Modern Family” is a set of four footed bowls. “I have created custom made bowls for the Fredonia fire chief, the UPS delivery person, friends and family,” she said. Those on exhibit portray “a modern family, mom in her leggings, daughter taking ballet lessons, younger brother hanging out, and dad dressed for the office.” Kimberly Turner of Warren, Pennsylvania, is also exhibiting two works: a bone, fabric, glass, metal and thread work entitled “St. Odocoileus” and an archival inkjet print, “The Anticipation of St. Corvus.” A graduate of SUNY Fredonia with a BFA in both Photography and Illustration, she received her MFA with a concentration in Photography from Indiana University Bloomington. Turner gathers inspiration for her art from her current work at a nature center. She notes that, “Borrowing from western religious iconography, I have replaced human archetypes with animals. I bring to question man’s relationship with the rest of the animal kingdom, while attempting to disrupt the hierarchy of existence. I am elevating these animals as holy individuals, not only amongst their species, but within the entire global kingdom.” This first Women Create salon is sponsored by the North Shore Arts Alliance, a not-for-profit co-operative marketing, promotional, and membership organiza-

On Wednesday, April 20, exhibitors Marcia Merrins, Cathy Panebianco, and Kimberly Turner will be featured in the first of four salons presented in conjunction with the Women Create juried exhibit of women’s art.

CHARITY CLOSES IN ON 7 MILLION GOLF BALLS, 500K CLUBS DONATED • Remote Network Monitoring • Remote Data Backup • Managed Security Service • Managed Colocation

By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

Bunkers In Baghdad was started with one goal in mind — collect golf balls and golf clubs and deliver them to military personnel stationed overseas in Iraq and Afghanistan. Since the first shipment went out in November 2008, Bunkers In Baghdad has collected and delivered over 6,950,000 golf balls and 495,500 clubs to over 40 different countries – with a good chunk of those donations coming from right here in Western New York. The charity was started by Joe Hanna, who leads the sports and entertainment practice at the law firm Goldberg Segalla. He got the idea after watching a ’60 Minutes’ episode as well as reading an article in Golf Magazine about the popularity of golf as a stress reliever among soldiers. “He’s a tremendous young man,” Dick Nelson, who runs the Bunkers In Baghdad in Jamestown and the surrounding areas, said about Hanna. “He’s grown this from nothing. When we hit the first million balls I thought it was great and now here we are at nearly seven million.” Nelson, a veteran himself, was a golfer for 60 years at Chautauqua. He used to collect balls on the course and give them to longtime golf pro Stan Marshaus. After years of this, Marshaus was inundated with used golf balls and didn’t need any more. That’s when Nelson saw a commercial that showed Bunkers In Baghdad was looking for balls and clubs for troops. “I’ve personally cleaned and refurbished over 170,000 balls and 14,000 clubs,” Nelson said. “We wash every ball and put new grips on every club. We want these guys to get nice equipment.” The golf equipment is only a portion of

How Fun Is This? By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor (Photo courtesy of bunkersinbaghdad.com)

what Bunkers In Baghdad does, though. According to bunkersinbaghdad.com, the Bunkers Buddies program “teams up with children and young adults of all ages from school across the United States to encourage civic engagement and participation in community service … The program encourages students to participate in our work at all levels – in addition to fundraising, Bunkers Buddies hold equipment drives and package equipment to be shipped to soldiers.” The students write letters, draw pictures and make homemade cards to be included in the shipments to the troops. Bunkers Buddies even presents the “Dick Nelson Commitment to Service Award and Scholarship” to deserving collegebound Bunkers Buddies.

“When you can help in any small way you feel good,” Nelson continued. “These guys really appreciate a little slice of home while they’re stationed overseas. My dream is to do this as long as I can.” According to the website, Bunkers In Baghdad has received individual support from PGA legends Arnold Palmer, Phil Mickelson, Jack Nicklaus and Tom Watson as well as all-time Major League Baseball greats Nolan Ryan, Cal Ripkin, Jr. and Roger Clemens. Other individual supports of note include former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton, NHLer Patrick Kane and even Seseme Street’s own Big Bird. CONTINUED ON PAGE 27

In a normal baseball season, the offenses usually take a few weeks to catch up to the pitchers. The early part of the calendar is filled with lowscoring games and talks of veterans “losing it” or some such nonsense. This year? Ha! Quite the opposite, my friends. The first week of the 2016 baseball season has been unlike anything I can remember. Home runs are flying at a record pace (except for my beloved Pittsburgh Pirates, who have all of two team home CONTINUED ON PAGE 24

CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, APRIL 15, 2016

SPORTS COMMENTARY, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 23 runs in six games as of Monday) and offenses are dominating. Even the sport’s biggest critics have to admit that this has been a fun ride so far. Let’s start with the biggest story (no pun intended) of the young season — Colorado Rockies rookie shortstop Trevor Story. Story has clubbed a MLB record seven home runs in his first team’s first six games. Again, the guy is a rookie. He has seven home runs in his first six Major League games. He plays in Coors Field, you say? Yes, that’s true, but then how do you explain his first three games in which he launched four home runs in Arizona? I’m sad to say I haven’t seen the kid play yet, but his highlights sure are fun to watch. Story isn’t exactly coming out of nowhere. The Rockies had such high hopes for Story that franchise cornerstone Troy Tulowitzki was traded to clear a spot for the youngster. He showed great power in the Minor Leagues and big things were expected of him. But this? This is unprecedented. As a stat head, I can’t help but be “the on-pace guy” and crunch some numbers. With seven home runs in six games, Story is on pace for 189 home runs this season. If he played a 15-year career at this pace (please note I’m not delusional, I’m just having some fun here), Story would amass 2,835 home runs. Barry who? Story isn’t the only one doing amazing things at the dish, however. Heck, he isn’t even the only rookie racking up eye-popping numbers. How about Houston rookie first baseman Tyler White? The 25-year old slugger has now played six career games and has hit three home runs, driven in nine runs and collected 10 hits for a .556 batting average. That’s even coming off a 0-3 night at the dish on Sunday. Cincinnati is a surprise 5-1 and tied with Chicago atop the N.L. Central. They have Eugenio Suarez to thank for a lot of that. Yes, Eugenio Suarez. While not exactly a household name, the young catcher is hitting .435 with four home runs and nine RBI already. The newest Yankee is acclimating pretty well to big stage of New York. Starlin Castro drove in eight runs in his first three games with his new team and is hitting .450 with a pair of home runs. He also picked up his 1,000th career hit on Saturday, so kudos to Castro. Robinson Cano got off to a hot start. After signing his massive deal with Seattle, he’s been somewhat of a disappointment. He hit all of one home run before Memorial Day last year. This season it took him all of two games to get more than that. In fact, he hit four home runs in Seattle’s first three games. Reigning A.L. MVP Josh Donaldson is having no trouble living up to the pressure. Toronto’s third baseman had an early injury scare, but is raking at the plate to the tune of .310 with four home runs

and nine RBI. Even just a glance at the standings will tell you it’s been a fun start to the season (unless you’re a Twins or Braves fan). The Baltimore Orioles have come flying out of the gate and sit atop the A.L. East at 5-0. It was offense that was supposed to carry the Orioles, but their pitching staff has allowed just 10 runs over those five games. I fully expect that rotation to bottom out, but the offense will pick up and Baltimore might just stay in the hunt. The defending champion Kansas City Royals are right back at it with a 5-1 start, but Detroit and Chicago are each just 0.5 games back in what could be a tight division race all year. Both the Tigers and the White Sox were active in the offseason in the hopes of closing the gap between themselves and the Royals. The A.L. West has taken a bit of a beating with only the Athletics above .500, and they’re only 4-3. The Rangers and Astros should both rebound, but baseball is a funny sport. It rarely plays out how we all expect it to. Bryce Harper is already swinging a hot bat and has led Washington to an early division lead over defending N.L. champion New York. It’s already looking very much as if the N.L. East is going to be a two-horse race. There are some bad teams at the bottom of the standings there. Every team in the N.L. Central is at or above .500 with the Reds and Cubs each sitting a 5-1. The Cubs have just been hammering the baseball. Even Jake Arrieta got into the action by hitting a 442-foot bomb on Sunday night. It was the longest

home run by a pitcher in eight years. Out west, it’ll probably be another two-horse race as the Giants and Dodgers are both out ahead of the pack early, though the “fun factor” of the division has obviously come in Colorado. How about the Padres, too? They got shut out in each of their first three games and then erupted for 32 runs in their next three. Meanwhile, the revamped pitching staff in Arizona has flunked miserably in the early going. Again, unless you’re a Braves (0-5) or Twins (0-6) fan, the early start of the baseball season has been a blast. It’s time to start watching baseball again, folks. The game is loaded with young superstars that are going to put on a show for a long, long time. I can’t wait. Stefan Gestwicki is the sports editor of the Chautauqua Star.

Last-Ditch Rally Falls Short At New Paltz Contributed Article FSU Sports Information Dept.

NEW PALTZ, N.Y. -- Fredonia threatened to salvage one game of its threegame weekend SUNYAC series with New Paltz, loading the bases in the top of the ninth, only to fall 4-2 in the second game of a doubleheader. The Hawks won Sunday's first game, 4-0. Down 4-1 to start the final inning, freshman Kevin Yirinec (Fairport, N.Y./ Fairport) worked the count full before drawing a lead-off walk. After New Paltz changed pitchers twice, junior Alexio Medina (Alden, N.Y. / Iroqouis ) singled to left and sophomore Joshua Crocetti (Rochester, N.Y. / Hilton) singled to right to load the baees with one out. An infield groundout by senior Kyle Sherman (North Collins, N.Y./North Collins) scored Yirinec before Steve Zaprowski (Williamsville, N.Y. / Williamsville South) flied out to left for the final out of the weekend. The Blue Devils fell to 9-14 overall and 2-7 in the conference. Fredonia's first run came in the top of the seventh. A lead-off single by junior Ciro Frontale (Syracuse, N.Y. / Bishop Ludden ), his second hit of the game, set the stage for a two-out single by Sherman to cut the New Paltz lead to 2-1. It was also Sherman's second hit of the game and his third on the day. Senior right-hander Carl Wolf (Hilton, N.Y./Hilton) left with no outs and a runner on in the last of the eighth. New Paltz added two insurance runs as reliever Zach Lyman (Belmont , N.Y. / Genesee Valley) gave up a run-scoring double before balking in a run. Wolf (1-2) was charged with the loss. He allowed three earned runs and struck out six in seven innings. Christian Huertas (3-1) was the winning pitcher while Ryan Votypka got the final two outs to earn his second save of the day. The Blue Devils managed four hits in the first game of the doubleheader. Yirinec singled with two outs in the second and was thrown out trying to steal second. The only runner to get as far as second came after back-to-back two-out singles by Zaprowski and Sherman in the third. Senior Dan Cecilia (Utica, N.Y./

Whitesboro) singled and was stranded after two were out in the fourth. Justin Stybel (2-0) pitched the first five innings for the win and Votypka pitched the final two innings for the save. The loss went to freshman right-hander Luke Kuczewski (Hamburg, N.Y./Orchard Park), who fell to 1-2. He gave up three runs over the first three innings, including a two-run double to Danny Campbell. Sophomore right-hander Bailey Gauthier (Camillus, N.Y. / West Genesee) gave up one run and struck out three in three innings of relief. After an off-day Monday, the Blue Devils and Oneonta play a three-game SUNYAC series in Fredonia at Ludwig Field. The teams will play Tuesday at 3 p.m. followed by a doubleheader Wednesday starting at 1 p.m.

Meeting their third ILWCA Top 20 team in six days, the Blue Devils (4-7) struggled to get their offense going while losing their fourth straight game. Kristie Kleine (Cazenovia, N.Y./Cazenovia) scored five goals and had one goal disallowed. Audrey Yokopovich (Webster, N.Y./Webster Samantha Spiess (Photo courtesy of Fredonia/Ron Szot) Thomas) had Fredonia's other goal plus four ground balls. Nicole Burrows (Baldwinsville, The teams were tied 1-1 when Kleine put in a N.Y./C.W. Baker) also collected four ground balls short shot and give her team an apparent 2-1 while making 11 saves in the Fredonia net.

advantage, only to have the officials take the goal off the board when they rule that the pocket on Kleine's stick â&#x20AC;&#x201C; stretched by steady rain â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was too deep. Off the ensuing change of possession, St. John Fisher's Cori Holbrook scored her first of four goals as the Cardinals took a 2-1 lead. It was also the start of a three-goal run which pushed Fisher's lead to 4-1. The Blue Devils were unable to get closer than two goals the rest of the way. The Cardinals (10-1) were preceded to Fredonia by No. 1 Cortland last Saturday and No. 12 Brockport on Tuesday. Next up for the Blue Devils is a visit from Oswego, a SUNYAC match scheduled for 1 p.m. Saturday.

Distance runners accounted for three of Fredonia's four men's track & field individual wins Monday during the Nazareth/ROC City Classic. Collin Mulcahy (Batavia, N.Y./Batavia) was first in the 1,500 meters in 3:57.47, Kyle Collins (Suffern, N.Y./Suffern) was first in the 5,000 meters in 15:04.70, and Zakk Hess (Newark, N.Y./North Rose-Wolcott) took the 3,000-meter steeplechase in 9:53.75. The lone non-distance winners was Rocky Caparro (Staten Island, N.Y./ Susan E. Wagner), victorious in the triple jump at 13.53 meters. Mulcahy had company in the 1,500. Bobby Cooper (Macedon, N.Y./Gananda) was second, Merlin Joseph Jr. (Binghamton, N.Y./Binghamton) fifth, and Pat Shenal (Henrietta, N.Y./Rush-Henrietta) eighth in a field of 30 men. In addition to his win in the triple jump, Caparro tied for second in the high jump. Mulcahy finished sixth in the 800 meters. Other near-the-top finishers were Chase Towse (East Nortport, N.Y./Northport), fourth in the 400-meter hurdles; Justyn Haines (Albion, N.Y./Albion), tied for sixth in the pole vault; Damone Brown (Haverstraw, N.Y./North Rockland), sixth in the shot put; and Kevin Geiser (Corning, N.Y./Notre Dame), sixth in the javelin and eighth in the discus. On the women's side, Laura Morrison (Wethersfield, Conn./Wethersfield) was a double winners Mondayat the Nazareth/ROC City Classic. Morrison won the 800 meters in 2:18.57 and the 1,500 meters in 4:43.64. There were 31 women in the 800 and 38 in the 1,500. Fredonia had three other first-place finishes in what was the opening meet of the outdoor season. Bad weather forced the cancellation of two earlier meets on the schedule. Brittany Feldman ( Jamestown, N.Y./Southwestern) won the 400 meters in 57.11 seconds, Sarah Couperus (Marion, N.Y./Marion) won the high jump with a clearance of 1.57 meters, and Mikayla Capestrani ( Jamestown, N.Y./Jamestown) and Kristen Sawyer (Lockport, N.Y./Lockport) tied with two other win for first in the pole vault.

GOLF ETIQUETTE: WE ALL NEED A REFRESHER COURSE By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

Editor's Note: This originally ran last year, but with golf season getting into gear this week (assuming the weather cooperates), it seems like a good time for a reminder. It’s often said that golf is a gentleman’s game. I’m more apt to call it a frustratingly difficult, intensely enjoyable, occasionally rewarding, wonderfully competitive game — but to each their own. Let’s stick with that “gentleman’s game” theme for a minute. When Average Joe goes out to play nine or 18 holes on a Sunday afternoon, there isn’t a referee watching over their shoulder. There’s no one carrying a rulebook and enforcing every minor detail of the game. There are plenty of actual rules that probably get broken during a round. But perhaps more importantly, there are almost assuredly some unwritten rules that get broken. That golf etiquette is what I want to talk about. Without having much direction as I head into this, I’m going to say that this is going to be a two-part piece because there’s a lot of ground to cover. I asked golf professionals, golf course owners and just your average golfers for input on this article. What do you see or hear out on the golf course that really shouldn’t happen? The response was pretty overwhelming. There are so many things that people simply either don’t know or straight up ignore. Neither of these situations is okay. If everyone on the course follows proper etiquette, there’s a much greater chance that everyone has a more enjoyable experience and the course stays beautiful. With so much to cover, I’m not sure where to start. But I’m going to start with one of the more obvious, yet certainly the most important aspect of etiquette — safety. SAFETY — Courses can get awfully crowded during peak hours at a golf course. With all of those clubs being swung and golf balls flying through the air, let’s take a minute to make sure we’re being safe. - If you hit a ball that veers towards another group, even if you think it’s probably safe, please shout a warning. The obvious word is “fore.” I’ve even taken to yelling “fore left” or “fore right” just for added clarity. Yes, shouting can be distracting for another player that might be hitting somewhere else on the

course, but safety should always be the No. 1 concern. - You should always wait for the group in front of you to be a safe distance ahead before hitting. Yes, a slow group can be incredibly frustrating. But hitting a ball over their heads is never the answer. - It’s hard to imagine someone not doing this, but always make sure no one is standing close by when taking a stroke or practice swing. That includes people that might get hit with debris such as pebbles or twigs from a swing. PACE OF PLAY — This has been one of the hot topics in the game today. Slow play is believed to be one of the culprits for dwindling numbers in this great game. - Prepare to hit your shot while your playing partner is taking their shot. If that means getting dropped off at your ball while they take the cart across the fairway, take two or three clubs with you. There should never be three guys sitting in their carts watching the fourth player take their shot. - “Unless you’re playing in formal competition, there’s nothing wrong with teeing off when ready, regardless of who has the honors from the pervious hole.” — Paul Agone, golf professional, Gowanda

Country Club. - “The golf course is not a practice range. Thinking about your shot and rehearsing it 15 times will not magically make your ball go where you want it. Calculate your distance, analyze the shot, pick your club, pull the trigger, repeat.” — Brad Smith, PGA Head Golf Professional, Shorewood Country Club. - “Record scores on the next tee, not next to the green of the hole just played, so the group behind you can hit.” — Dwayne Randall, Director of Golf, Peek’n Peak Resort. - If you’re ready to hit, but your partner is away, hit your ball. This is especially true on the green. Instead of marking off that three-foot putt, just finish out, grab the flagstick and let your partners finish up. - If you’re a slower or larger group than the group behind you, offer to let them play through. This is only necessary if the group ahead of you is playing faster than you, too. Letting a group play through only to be stuck again can be counter-productive. - If you have a tee time, honor that tee time. Show up early so you can get your practice in and be ready to tee off when it’s your turn. Courses make tee times CONTINUED ON PAGE 31

CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, APRIL 15, 2016

GOLFER'S DIARY, CONT. FROM PAGE 23 for a reason. Being even a few minutes late can really jam up the schedule. - “Play the correct tees for your skill level. A 20-handicap player should never play the back tees.” — Matt Elam (my brother-in-law and a very good golfer). - Decide on a max score per hole. My group never takes anything more than a quad-bogey. This takes away the seemingly inevitable hole where nothing goes right and shot after shot ends up in the cabbage. If one person takes 12 shots, there’s a pretty good chance you’ll hold up another group. - “Slow play is always going to be an issue. Why? Because golfers need to understand when it’s their turn. It’s not impolite or against etiquette to walk ahead of your playing partners as long as you are not in line with the direction they are aiming. Play fast, tee it forward and socialize over a beverage after the round.” — Ryan Swanson, owner, Pinehurst Golf Club. - Is there anything more frustrating than getting stuck behind a group that looks for lost balls for five minutes ever hole? Golf balls get lost. It’s a fact of the game. If you can’t find it within a minute or two, take a drop and keep playing. - “Golf balls are not made of gold; although golf balls are not cheap, they also don’t require a loan to purchase. If your ball is lost, it is simply that. If you think your ball has even the slightest chance of being lost, hit a provisional ball.” — Smith. - “Take 25 practice swings only to hit it 50 feet and repeat.” — My friend Al, clearly being a wise guy. COURSE CARE — It’s important to remember that most courses (especially here in Western New York) are simply family-owned businesses. They’ve invested their time, money and lives to providing a beautiful place for us to play golf. Let’s respect that by taking care of the course. Not only that, but don’t we all want the course to be in tip-top shape when we play it? Let’s keep it that way for the next group of golfers. - Repair your divots, people. It takes five seconds to pick up your chuck of grass and dirt and put it back where it came from. Give that turf a little press with your foot and you’re good to go. Some courses provide a seed mix in case you really explode your divot. Simply pour a little bit of the mix in the hole and you’re on your way. It’s amazing how many people don’t do this, despite how easy it really is. - Also fix your ball marks on the green. There are special tools for this, but you can also use a spare tee pretty effectively. It’s hard to describe the right technique to do this, but it’s almost counter intuitive. You want to push inwards, not upwards. If you get in under the ball mark and push up, you’re going to rip the roots of the grass, killing it and leaving brown spots on the green. This goes for spike marks on the green, too. Nobody likes when their putt rolls over a random bump and takes the ball off its course.

course is going to require a collared shirt and slacks, but showing up in flip flops and an old Michael Jordan jersey is disrespectful to the game. This is a perfect example of something that’s technically legal, but shouldn’t be done, even on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Respect yourself and respect the game. - Be quiet when another player is hitting their ball. This obviously includes golfers in your own group, but other groups as well. If you see a player about to hit their ball, stop your cart and your conversation. You’d want people to keep quiet during your shot, so do the same for others. - Be mindful of where you’re standing. No, you might not technically be in a player’s backswing, but your presence is assuredly felt. How hard is it to take a few Maybe don't take fashion tips from this guy if you're hitting steps back?

Youth-Laden Sabres Showing Signs of Progress By John Wawrow

AP Hockey Writer

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) -- Sabres general manager Tim Murray acknowledged it was unrealistic to expect Buffalo to transform into an overnight contender based on the wholesale changes that took place last offseason. It's not an excuse Murray plans to be repeating a year from now after the youth-laden Sabres showed gradual signs of improvement by riding an encouraging second-half season surge to end up 23rd in the NHL standings following two consecutive last-place finishes. ''There is a light,'' Murray said, during a season-ending news conference on Monday. ''The goal will be to make the playoffs, and it may actually be a realistic goal,'' Murray added. ''We should have, I'm not going to say smooth sailing, but it should be an easier, smoother ride for sure.'' The prospects are finally starting to look up for a franchise that spent much of the past three seasons bottoming out as part of Murray's top-to-bottom rebuilding plan. It began with the Sabres firing coach Ted Nolan and replacing him with coach Dan Bylsma in May. And it continued at the NHL draft in Florida on June 26, when Murray made separate trades to acquire forward Ryan O'Reilly from Colorado and goalie Robin Lehner from Ottawa, and selected highly touted forward Jack Eichel with the No. 2 pick. Though it took a few months for the new pieces to jell, Buffalo was competitive in closing the season going 20-14-7. At 35-36-11, the Sabres won 12 more games, scored 48 more goals and surrendered 47 fewer than the previous year. ''We definitely changed the culture of the Sabres,'' Eichel said. ''A lot of games I'm sure we wish we had back. But I think next season is a time for us to make the turn.'' At 19, Eichel scored 24 goals to become Buffalo's first rookie to lead the team in scoring since Ray Sheppard had 38 in 1987-88. Eichel's 56 points were second among NHL rookies and second on the team behind O'Reilly, who finished with 60 (21 goals, 39 assists). Veteran defenseman Josh Gorges cautioned this is no time to become contented. ''We did take steps, and that's good to see,'' Gorges said. ''We're going to need to take more of them next year.'' Here are a number of things that stood out for the Sabres, who missed the playoffs for a fifth consecutive season: ROBIN'S RECOVERY: Lehner's season was derailed in Game 1, when he sustained a high right ankle sprain that eventually required season-ending surgery last month. He finished with a 5-9-5 record in 21 games, and failed in his bid to establish himself as Buffalo's starter. Lehner is scheduled to have the cast removed in two weeks, and intends to spend the entire offseason rehabbing in Buffalo. UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENTS: Backup goalie Chad Johnson and veteran forward David Legwand are scheduled to become unrestricted free agents. Johnson went 22-16-4 in taking over the starting duties for Lehner. Johnson hasn't ruled out re-signing with Buffalo, but first wants to test the market to determine whether he can land on a team in need of a starter. RESTRICTED FREE AGENTS: Defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen leads Buffalo's group of restricted free agents, which includes forwards Marcus Foligno, Zemgus Girgensons, Johan Larsson and Nicolas Deslauriers. The 21-year-old Ristolainen is in a position to land a lucrative offer after leading

Where Does Spieth Go After Epic Masters Meltdown? By Eddie Pells and Paul Newberry AP National Writers

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) -- Where does Jordan Spieth go from here? He could have been sailing along on the second act to one of the greatest years in golf history. Instead, the young Texan left Augusta shaking his head, and trying to figure out how to shake off one of the most epic collapses in the history of the game. It won't be easy. ''Big picture, this one will hurt,'' Spieth said, still sounding in a bit of shock outside the Augusta National clubhouse Sunday evening after it all slipped away. ''It will take a while.'' Not only will Spieth have to erase the memory of his splashdown on No. 12 - a quadruple-bogey 7 that included two water balls and turned a onetime five-shot lead into a three-shot deficit to the eventual champion, Danny Willett. Spieth will also have to clear all the bad thoughts out of his head. Over the weekend, he played 31 holes of good-to-great golf and put himself in position for a second green jacket at the tender age of 22. Those other five holes were 17 and 18 on Saturday, then 10, 11 and 12 on Sunday. He went a cumulative 9 over on those and had bad swing thoughts that he simply couldn't overcome. ''The wheels kind of came off the last ... holes on Saturday,'' said Spieth, who brought his coach, Cameron McCormick, back into Augusta for a quick tuneup before tee time in the final round. It helped. For a while. My confidence going into the first hole was fantastic,'' said Spieth, who made four straight birdies to hit the turn at 7 under, in the lead by five strokes. ''But listen, I had my 'B-minus' game tee to green. Ultimately, you have to have your 'A' game every single part, and I just didn't have those iron swings, as it showed on the back nine.'' All of which set up an awkward award presentation in Butler Cabin, which was then replicated on the practice green in front of the clubhouse. First, Spieth had to present the green jacket to Willett in front of the television cameras. Then, he had to do it again for the patrons. Willett earned the honor by shooting a bogey-free round of 67 that left him three ahead of Spieth and Lee Westwood. Willett finished at 5-under 283. Still looking a bit shocked, Spieth managed to muddle through. ''I can't imagine that was fun for anyone to experience,'' he said, ''other than maybe Danny's team and those who are fans of him.''

He fully expected to be taking home his own green jacket for another year, as is the custom for the Masters champion. ''I can't think of anybody else who may have had a tougher ceremony to experience,'' said Spieth, who now has to leave his jacket at the club. For Willett, this is a career-changing victory that almost never got started. His first child was due Sunday. But Zachariah James Willett came early, on March 30, which allowed the new dad to rebook his ticket to Augusta and play in his second Masters. Now, Willett can be mentioned in the same sentence with none other than Nick Faldo - the only other Englishman to wear the green jacket. Faldo's third and final victory at Augusta came courtesy of Greg Norman's epic collapse back in 1996. Willett's came courtesy of Spieth, though the 28-year-old Englishman, who will move up to ninth in world ranking, did plenty to earn the victory, as well. He went bogey-free through the last 18 holes, which looks all the more impressive considering the shaky play going on around him. Westwood, still 0-for-the-majors, chipped in for an eagle on 15 to get within one shot of the lead, only to miss a 4-footer to save par at the 16th - right after Willett had drained a longer birdie putt. The two-shot swing finished off Westwood, who at least showed he's still got game at age 42 after

enduring a winless 2015, when his focus was clearly distracted by a divorce and a move back to his native England to be closer to his kids. ''Obviously, I must be doing something right,'' Westwood said. Dustin Johnson, another extremely talented player who has dealt with personal issues, also got within a shot of the lead but couldn't pull out his first major title. For Johnson, it was a familiar story - plenty of good shots, but some shaky putting and mistakes at the most inopportune times. He double-bogeyed the fifth and was all done after another double-bogey at the 17th. He finished in a tie for fourth with J.B. Holmes and Paul Casey, four shots back. ''I think my game's exactly where it needs to be,'' Johnson said, not looking at it as another one he let get away. ''I feel like I've got control of my game. I'm looking forward to the year for sure.'' For Spieth, the next major can't come soon enough. But he has to wait two painful months for the U.S. Open at Oakmont. Time to clear his head, and try to move past the one he gave away. ''I'm very confident in the way that we play the game of golf,'' Spieth said. ''I think that when we're on, I believe we're the best in the world.''

NASCAR Clouding Its Image With Politics By Jenna Fryer AP Auto Racing Writer

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- There are Democrats who enjoy NASCAR. Jews and atheists and women, too. You wouldn't know it lately, not after several events this season, including the invocation before Saturday night's race at Texas Motor Speedway. Duck Commander founder Phil Robertson used the address to pray ''that we put a Jesus man in the White House'' and noted that ''alright Texas, we got here via Bibles and guns.'' Robertson, a star of ''Duck Dynasty,'' has publicly voiced his support for Ted Cruz in the presidential race. His son, Willie, has endorsed GOP front-runner Donald Trump, and the family has always been vocal with its conservative beliefs. It shouldn't have been a surprise when Robertson used his time on stage to push an agenda. Yet in many ways it was because NASCAR has tried for the last several years to present itself as a sport that embraces diversity, that no longer tolerates many of the racial stereotypes so often associated with the sport. Last year, NASCAR chairman Brian France took a strong stance against the presence of Confederate flags at race tracks and said he would do everything in his legal power to prevent them from being displayed. It was a progressive move and unusual. Sports are supposed to be entertainment, after all, and most fans don't tune in expecting or wanting to see soapbox speeches. It's why the stick-and-ball leagues try to stay neutral. When they do embrace America, it's done in safe ways such as the singing of ''God Bless America'' or recognizing military personnel. The logos for Major League Baseball, the NBA and the NFL are all red, white and blue, and league leaders tend to avoid politics and polarizing positions in an effort not to offend fans who don't share their views. NASCAR has always been the exception. The France family, which owns the series, has long welcomed political candidates at their events and has a history of making public endorsements. NASCAR founder Bill France Sr. endorsed George Wallace for president. Brian France last month endorsed Trump, and even recruited a handful of drivers to attend a Trump rally in Georgia. The Trump endorsement was met with significant backlash and France said he was disappointed that his record on promoting diversity had suddenly been called into question. He has spent at least the last decade trying to help his family business shed its image as a sport for intolerant rednecks, but there is no away around it: His Trump endorsement put those efforts at risk. Then came the Robertson commentary on Saturday night, which Texas Motor Speedway officials said Monday they did not know was coming. The Robertsons and Duck Dynasty had a three-year sponsorship agreement with the speedway, and the contract allowed the family to fill all honorary roles however they chose. The Robertsons even had a lesser-known family member sing a cringe-worthy version of the national anthem, but Will Robertson's vocals were the least of NASCAR's problems after the stump speech from the family patriarch. His stance, coupled with France's endorsement of Trump, presents a confusing picture of what NASCAR represents. There are many who oppose the act of giving an invocation before every race because they don't like religion shoved down their throats, but the pre-race prayer is a longtime tradition that NASCAR doesn't seem to have any interest in abandoning. In Texas, it happened to give Robertson the chance to promote his conservative views, which ultimately are a reflection on NASCAR.

C w 7 f p L T a a i i b g b In this Feb. 19, 2016 file photo, Phil Robertson of the Duck Dynasty reality television t program speaks at a rally for Republican presidential candidate, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, at Eagle Aviation Hangar in Columbia, S.C. Robertson has again clouded NASCAR's image as f a sport trying to remove itself from its divisive stereotypes.

The policy gives NASCAR the option w to reject a sponsor if its ''brand has been tarnished by controversy, crisis or cir- Y cumstance such that its association with the event would damage the NASCAR b brand or the image of the sport.'' p Whether Robertson violated that clause Saturday night is a matter of opinion. t Either way, NASCAR needs to take a serious look at the message that is being U delivered each week and how entering the political arena is clouding the image U France wants to project.
