Perdue Receives Working Families Endorsement Contributed Article Jason Perdue
On June 7, Jason Perdue, endorsed Democratic candidate for 150th NYS Assembly district, received his second party endorsement from the working families party. "It is a great pleasure to have received the endorsement from the working families party, reaffirming my commitment to represent and stand with all individuals within our great county, including the working and middle class families who unfortunately under representation from our current Assemblyman, have been mostly left behind,” Perdue stated. “My commitment to tackle the political, economic, and educational inequality that deprive so many of opportunity has been welcomed and we all, including the residents of Chautauqua County share a vision to live in a county that is fair for all of us, not just the wealthy and well-connected. "I've had the great opportunity the past few years to talk with many residents all over Chautauqua County. There are still so many who are reluctant to follow elections or vote because they feel the system is against them, and their voices are not being heard. I agree that there are areas we need to fix, two being our campaign finance system and the voter registration process. Regarding finance, there really isn't an even playing field to get a message across. It's difficult for newer candidates like myself and individuals who are not career politicians. The extremely wealthy and big corporations have ruined how candidates can raise money. We live in Chautauqua County, many of us are working families that struggle. The residents need that kind of representation, someone who not only understands the struggles they face, but has lived through them. In New York State, we rank low nationally for voter turnout and it is time we change this, so everyone has a voice. The voters have a choice this election cycle, to vote for someone they can relate to. We have to have reform, to encourage participation in the election process. I support the expansion of voting rights legislation that allows early voting, allows voters who move within NYS to vote at their new address and same-day registration.
"It is clear that schools are struggling and every child deserves the same opportunities in this state when it comes to education. It doesn't matter if a family is living in poverty or extremely wealthy, no child can be left behind. Currently in our state, income, wealth, race and zip code separate educational standards and this can be no more. We have to invest in our future by supporting high-quality public education, making sure our schools are well funded. I support state funding for community schools. There are many issues that exist which create unfair opportunity for children. We have to close loopholes which allow wealth investment firms and hedge fund managers the opportunity to avoid paying their fair share in carried interest profits. This is why I support legislation such as A9459A, closing the “carried interest” loophole. We have to extend the “Millionaire’s Tax” on high-income taxpayers which makes our tax code fairer and provides vital funds for education and mass transit. I support a “Millionaire’s Tax” bill such as A09179 so that NYS millionaires are taxed at a fair tax rate. "It's a difficult time in Chautauqua County. We face many new challenges. Every family and every individual deserves representation from someone who can relate. I have lived through the struggles we face, growing up in poverty. I've experienced and witnessed the challenges myself day to day working extremely hard to get by. But I came to a point where I knew I CONTINUED ON PAGE 8

Chamber Corner Contributed Article Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce
The repowering of the NRG Dunkirk Power plant has been a roller coaster of ups and downs for our community. Just as we thought this project was pushed over the top it began to slip out of our grasp at the hands of a lawsuit filed by a rival power company. Once again we are encouraging our community to stay hopeful and raise its voice in support of repowering. The New York Public Service Commission is considering canceling an agreement between NRG and National Grid which has allowed National Grid to recover its associated costs and enabled NRG to repower the Dunkirk plant. We are urging the PSC to maintain its commitment to repower Dunkirk. We strongly encourage all local businesses and residents to submit their comments supporting repowering. The deadline is June 17. To post comments online, go to www.dps.ny.gov and search for case number 12-E-0577. When the page opens for the case you will find a link to post Comments. You can also email comments to secretary@dps.ny.gov or you can mail comments to the Honorable. Kathleen H. Burgess, Secretary, Three Empire Plaza, Albany, New York 12223-1350. This public comment period is our opportunity to tell Albany that New York energy policy must include repowering efforts that save jobs, maintain the tax base and help New York determine its own energy future. Sadly, electric power once manufactured in New York State is being imported from outside the State. New York based environmental groups that have opposed gas-fired repowering efforts such as NRG in Dunkirk may feel they are winning a battle, when in reality they are losing the war by turning a blind eye to the fact that New York State is importing dirty power. A large portion of imported power is coming from a power plant in Homer City, Pennsylvania, which was sued by New York State in 2011 for violating the Clean Air Act. In 2013 the Homer City plant released 114,245 tons of sulfur dioxide which was more than all plants combined in New York in that same year. Despite efforts to curb its harsh environmental impact, Homer City continues to be a major
contributor to air pollution and remains a top emitter of sulfur dioxide in the U.S. Instead of importing dirty power, New York could be manufacturing its own clean power by repowering coal facilities such as NRG with natural gas. New York State must remain in the business of manufacturing electricity for a variety of reasons, including reducing our vulnerability to fluctuations and brown-outs, and our commitment to providing cleaner and more reliable energy right here in our region. In addition to being a sound and responsible generating station, repowering the NRG plant will also preserve local jobs and will help sustain the tax base in Chautauqua County. If the plant was to close the City of Dunkirk, Dunkirk Public Schools, and Chautauqua County, will all face extraordinary tax burdens. The loss in revenue will force harsh and unprecedented cuts in services and school staffing. We remain proud to lend our voice to this proposed repowering project. Elected officials from both major parties including Assemblyman Andrew Goodell, Senator Cathy Young, Governor Andrew Cuomo, Congressman Tom Reed, and US Senator Chuck Schumer, along with organized labor have all supported the plan. We will continue to urge the PSC to move this project forward. Your help is needed now. Please send your comments to Public Service Commission to support this vital utility in Chautauqua County.

lifestyle. But is that the only difference? It truly can't be. Other world doctrines that exclude Christ promote moral living. Many Buddhists, Hindus, and Muslims are moral people. Even pseudo-christian cults that depart from true Bible faith such as the Jehovah Witnesses and Mormonism promote morality. Morality on Rev.

False faiths cannot hear the voice of their god. They can pray for hours and live morally yet they will hear nothing in return and remain clueless in life. Their conversation is one sided. Not with our God! He hears us (1 John 5:14) and He talks back to us! ( John 16:13) That's the beginning of the supernatural. The only hope for the human condition is to know and converse with the Loving God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ. No religion will ever do.

God not only wants us saved and part of His family but also being led in every decision we make. Romans 8:14 says, "For as many are LED by the Spirit are the sons of God." The ability to hear and obey takes us into mature sonship with the Father. If you are going to hear God speaking in your spirit you must know where your spirit is. Proverbs 20:27 says, "The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord searching all the inward parts of the belly." The spirit of man is the candle or light bearing part of the human nature. It is the part of us that communicates with God. Notice where it is: In the belly. The word belly means the center of man, or the middle of your torso.

and information between law enforcement agencies. Unfortunately, for various reasons including lack of funding, participation in the STRDTF is not what it used to be and many of our police are combating the drug epidemic through their own initiatives, without the aid of a County-wide law enforcement unit to dedicate its power and resources to the fight. The District Attorney’s Office has the resources to spear-head that fight through implementation of its own Narcotics Enforcement Team (“NET”) within the office - a bureau whose exclusive function is to prosecute and oversee drug and related-crime arrests, and work closely with the STRDTF, Jamestown Metro Drug Task Force and individual police agencies here in Chautauqua County, to serve as a cohesive structure around which the County’s police can come together and coalesce in one unifying offensive against the drug epidemic. Through implementation of a NET unit dedicated exclusively to the war on drugs, our prosecutors will sharpen their expertise in narcotics prosecutions and provide the police with more sophisticated, wider-reaching investigative tools, such as pen registers and wiretapping applications which are routinely employed by other law enforcement agencies to obtain the evidence needed to arrest higher-tier drug suppliers. A NET initiative in our DA’s office ensures that prosecutors work closer with police in the pre-arrest investigative stages of cases, assisting where needed on search warrant applications and bringing to bear a greater awareness of search and seizure laws which play a critical role in narcotics and relatedcrime prosecutions. One more function of NET, but certainly not the last, would be to monitor and even reach out beyond the courtrooms to determine the most effective prosecutorial responses for drug cases in line with the lowest recidivism (repeat offender) rate. We simply cannot effectively address the drug problem without dedicating law enforcement personnel exclusively to the task. The police agencies have done it. It’s time for the District Attorney’s Office to do it as well.

Huge numbers of frogs start to sing, from the deep, low voices of Bullfrogs to the piercing pitch of Spring Peepers. Owls come out with their haunting hoots echoing through the forest. Fireflies light up the night. From 8:30 to 10:30 p.m. there will be a campfire and tons of great activities, including a night hike, moth night light, and a chance to see Synchronous Fireflies that all flash at once. Some events will be continuous and self-directed, others will be scheduled with a naturalist. Visitors can gather at the fire or the moth light any time. The moth light attracts many kinds of moths, some with wingspans of six inches or more. From 8:45 to 9:30 p.m. there will be a night hike that will focus on calling in owls.

I already had colors in mind, as I wanted our shed to match our house, with the same color doors and the same color siding. Not actual siding on the shed, of course, just the same color paint as the siding on our house. First and foremost, however, was the matter of staples and old paint that was chipping and peeling off.

Wild Elected Chair of TLC Health Board
Contributed Article TLC Health Network
At their recent Annual Meeting, TLC Health Network’s Board of Directors elected James E. Wild, MD, FAAFP as
Contributed Article Mental Health Association
“Our daughter just got her master’s degree,” a woman shared in conversation at the May Mental Health Association Recovery Luncheon. That would be a heart-warming event for any parent, but particularly for this mother. Because eight years ago her daughter had spent four months in jail after setting her parents’ house on fire, causing the whole interior of the house to have to be rebuilt -- an act that took more than six months of apartment living before her parents could return home. These parents couldn’t understand how she could come to this, living in their comfortable home and surrounded by a loving, supportive family – including near-by siblings, grandparents, aunts and uncles.
Board Chair. Dr. Wild is also TLC’s Medical Director and has served as a member of the Board since 2001 and as Vice Chair since 2013. He will be assuming the position previously held be Hon. Timothy Cooper who will serve as Vice-Chair. Virginia Cooper was elected Secretary/Treasurer. TLC Health CEO John Galati states, “We are grateful for Judge Cooper’s service as Board Chairman for the past three years and his ongoing commitment to the communities served by TLC. We look forward to Dr. Wild’s leadership as we enter a new phase of our history. His outstanding reputation in this community and lifelong dedication to improving the health of Western New Yorkers make him well suited to the task. He has been invaluable to TLC as our Medical Director, and will continue to do so in his new role as our organization faces issues regarding affiliation, transformation, financial growth, and more in the years ahead.” Dr. Wild adds, “I am honored to be
asked to serve TLC Health Network and our community in this capacity. There is no doubt that our organization has been working through its share of challenges in the last few years, but I believe we are positioned for an incredible period of growth and rebirth through pending partnerships with other healthcare organizations and through our own transformative efforts to reimagine the way that TLC provides care. I welcome the chance to be a part of that effort in any way I can and know that I have a strong team of administrators and fellow Board members to help guide the way.” Dr. Wild obtained his medical degree from the State University of New York at Buffalo’s School of Medicine and completed his residency in Family Medicine at SUNY Buffalo, Deaconess, and Buffalo General Hospitals. He is certified by the American Board of Family Medicine in family practice and received his fellowship designation from the American Academy of Family Physicians. Along with positions held
at TLC Health Network, Dr. Wild also runs a busy primary care practice (TriCounty Family Medicine Associates, PC) in Gowanda with his fellow family care provider and business partner Dana Anderson, MD. He has also held various academic appointments with SUNY Buffalo over the years, including appointments as a Clinical Assistant Professor and as a Teaching Fellow. Recent accomplishments for Dr. Wild include being a two-time winner of the Community Preceptor of the Year Award by the University of Buffalo Family Medicine and being named as a “Healthcare Top 50” awardee by Buffalo Business First in 2014. Other Board members that were elected for new terms were Dr. Dana Anderson, Brian Fenzl, Thomas Postle, Dr. Tariq Sheikh, and Dr. Steven Barnes (Medical Staff President). More information about TLC Health Network and their various services and locations can be found at www.TLCHealth.org.
Recovery Progress Recognized at Mental Health Association Luncheon “We were ready to give up and turn our backs on her,” this mother said. Then they had friends whose daughter was brutally killed. “That terrible tragedy brought us to the realization that we were lucky enough to still have our daughter – and we knew we had to do whatever we could to help her.” The hardest part was not knowing where to go for help for the mental illness and substance abuse that plagued their 22-year-old daughter. They will be forever grateful for finally finding Kia Briggs and Rick Huber at the Mental Health Association in Chautauqua County (MHA). “When our lives were turned upside down – even before the fire -- we didn’t know where to go, where to turn for help. It wasn’t easy, but with the help we found, she put her life back together. After finishing at
JCC ( Jamestown Community College), she got her degree at Fredonia. Then as a single mom, she worked full-time while going to school, having an internship, writing a thesis, and now she has her master’s degree in social work. And it all started here at MHA,” this mother said. She finished by stressing, “We want other people to know that MHA is here. These wonderful people at MHA helped our daughter to make it through Treatment Court, and they helped her find housing. They helped her find employment and got her started at JCC. We are so thankful that eight years later MHA is still here and has grown to help many more people like her and their families, especially now that the need is greater than ever.” The Mental Health Association is a peer-run organization offering support services to
people with substance addiction and all other forms of mental health diagnosis. In addition to one-on-one meetings with recovery coaches, the MHA offers more than two dozen peer support groups where men and women can talk with others across a wide range of concerns. All services and programs are free. Recovery luncheons are held monthly to recognize the progress that individuals are making on their road to recovery. At the May luncheon Director of Peer Services Steven Cobb recognized seven people for completing a Treatment Court Phase, six for graduating from Treatment Court, one for completing treatment, and eight for gaining employment. Helen Walther from Housing Options Made Easy, Inc., runs the Self-Help and Advocacy: Foundations program at the MHA. A Certified Peer
Specialist, she is the training coordinator for the program that develops and teaches advanced life skills for people in recovery from mental health and substance use issues. Walther awarded five certificates of attendance. A delicious meal was prepared by the United Christian Advocacy Network. Lakewood Baptist Church members Judy Kidder, Marianne Reinagel, Debbie Sproveri, and Randy Wilson were the volunteer servers. The Mental Health Association is located in the Gateway Center, 31 Water Street, Door #14, Jamestown, New York.

1891 Fredonia Opera House Presents 21st Bach & Beyond Festival Contributed Article Fredonia Opera House
The Bach & Beyond Baroque Music Festival celebrates its 21st year when it returns to the 1891 Fredonia Opera House June 17-19. Under Artistic Director Grant Cooper, the series of three concerts explores both the masterworks and lesserknown orchestral and vocal music of 17th and 18th century Baroque composers. Performances focus on music by familiar composers such as Bach, Vivaldi and Handel, but the “beyond” in the Festival’s name refers to the inclusion of works of others who are artistically linked to those superstars. This year’s program will feature some of the Baroque era’s most glorious choral music performed by a 12-voide ensemble of the finest singers from throughout western NY, many of whom are Baroque and early music specialists. “We’re very excited about presenting choral music,” notes Opera House Executive Director Rick Davis. “Especially when you consider that fully one-half of Bach’s compositional output was vocal music, it’s incredible to think that we have never featured choral pieces in the Festival before.” Davis says the addition of choral music means that this will be perhaps the Opera House’s largest Festival undertaking ever. The second half of each of the three concerts – Friday and Saturday evenings, June 17 & 18, and Sunday afternoon, June 19 – will feature choral pieces. On Friday and Sunday, the programs will feature Handel’s Coronation Anthems; on Saturday, the program will feature Bach’s Magnificat. Cooper, artistic director of
The 21st Bach & Beyond Baroque Music Festival features an intimate group of top musicians from throughout North America who are specialists in and passionate about Baroque performance. Many are Festival veterans and include (l to r) Violinist/Concert Mistress Julie Leven, Violinist Margie Cooper, Violinist Smiliana Lozanova, Flutist Dr. Susan Royal and Violist Brian Walnicki. The Festival will be held June 17-19, at the 1891 Fredonia Opera House.
the West Virginia Symphony, brings to the Festival top musicians from throughout North America who are specialists in and passionate about Baroque performance. Many are Festival veterans. “The players have a strong sense of loyalty to the Festival from year to year,” he says. Audience members who are new to the Festival will appreciate “performances that attempt to capture the essence of the Baroque period,” says Cooper. “Through the use of Baroque bows, for instance, we make a sound less massive and
more intimate than one hears from modern instruments and playing techniques.” The Festival’s three concerts are scheduled for Friday and Saturday, June 17 and 18, at 8 p.m. and Sunday, June 19, at 3 p.m. Special pre-concert discussions will begin an hour before each concert in the theatre. Admission to pre-concert discussions is free to concert ticket holders. Complete concert programs are listed on the Opera House web site at www.fredopera. org. Tickets are $20 reserved seating for each concert. A sub-
scription to all three concerts is available for $51. Tickets may be purchased in person at the Opera House Box Office or by phone at 716-679-1891, Tuesday through Friday, 1-5 p.m. They also may be purchased anytime online at www. fredopera.org. The Bach & Beyond Festival is made possible, in part, with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts, a state agency, and with the support of the United Arts Appeal of Chautauqua County. Founding Festival Benefactors are Carol & Jim Boltz.
Festival Sponsors are June & Barry Dietrich, and W. Stanley Hooper with the Hooper Family Foundation; and Concert Sponsors are Minda Rae Amiran and Evans & Evans Law Offices. The choral ensemble is presented with support from the Gloria Garretson Memorial Fund.

The 8th Annual Van Miller Hometown Hero Scholarship Fund Golf Tournament, presented by Lake Shore Savings Bank, was held Friday at Shorewood Country Club in Dunkirk. A massive turnout of 112 golfers participated in this year’s tournament, including Buffalo Bills alumni Booker Edgerson, Lou Piccone, Will Fowler, Bob Schmidt and Ed Rutkowski. Paul Peck from WIVB Channel 4 served as the event’s emcee while John Murphy was the guest of honor. Murphy was a long-time announcer with Van Miller and speaks of the legendary voice of the Buffalo Bills often on ‘The John Murphy Show’ on WGR 55 Radio. “The short story of how the tournament got started was that Van

The Fredonia Hilbillies' dream of a third New York State Public High School Athletic Association championship fell just one run short of coming true in Binghamton. Fredonia knocked off Schalmont, 4-2, in a rousing semifinal game, but couldn't quite get over the hump in the finals, falling to Marlboro by a score of 8-7. It was a season to remember for the Hillbillies. Be sure to check out the July 1 edition of the Chautauqua Star for a complete story.

Commentary: Who Should Be In MLB All-Star Game?
Stefan Gestwicki The 2016 All Star Game in San Diego is less than a month away. The voters have once again come out in droves, though of course the leading vote getters probably aren’t the most deserving. Who should pick the All Stars? Me, of course. All stats listed are as of Tuesday. AMERICAN LEAGUE First base: Eric Hosmer, Kansas City Royals — As much as it irks me that Royals fans stuff the ballots, their first baseman is more than deserving of the honor. His slash of .318/.375/.530 is outstanding and he’s clubbed 12 home runs and even stolen four bases. On the bench: Miguel Cabrera, Detroit Tigers — Just a run-of-the-mill outstanding season for the future Hall of Famer. Second base: Jose Altuve, Houston Astros — Don’t look now, but Altuve has turned into one of the best hitters in baseball. No longer is he a novelty. He’s hitting .344 with 10 home runs, 38 RBI and 18 steals. On the bench: Robinson Cano, Seattle Mariners — Cano is crushing the ball to the tune of .295/18/51. Ian
Kinsler, Detroit Tigers — Few players are as hot as Kinsler, who has upped his line to .317/14/44. Shortstop: Xander Bogaerts, Boston Red Sox — This one isn’t even close. If you aren’t voting for Bogaerts, you’re doing it wrong. It’s entirely possible that he’s been the best player in baseball over the first two months of the season. Bogaerts is hitting .359 for goodness sake. On the bench: Francisco Lindor, Cleveland Indians — Remember when he was a great glove-no bat shortstop? Those days are long gone. Third base: Manny Machado, Baltimore Orioles — If Bogaerts isn’t the A.L. MVP, it’s Machado after the Orioles stud has hit .308/16/39. Machado has been worth 3.3 WAR, which ranks behind just Bogaerts and Altuve in the A.L. On the bench: Josh Donaldson, Toronto Blue Jays — The reigning MVP isn’t quite where he was last year, but his .878 OPS is top 15 in the A.L. Nick Castellanos, Detroit Tigers — He’s slashing .304/.333/.527. That’s All-Star worthy. Catcher: Sal Perez, Kansas City Royals — Goodness gracious American League catcher is a weak position. Perez wins this by default for not totally stinking at the plate. He’s only walked nine times, which has led to just a .319 OBP, but he’s hitting .290 with nine home runs, so he’s the pick…I guess. On the bench: Matt Wieters? Stephen Vogt? Nobody? Designated Hitter: David Ortiz, Boston Red Sox
— This guy is really going to retire? He’s currently hitting .340/16/55. His .708 slugging percentage is more than 100 points higher than the next closest in the A.L. He’s nearly walked more than he’s struck out (30/35). On the bench: Nelson Cruz, Seattle Mariners — Cruz continues to rake with a .293/.377/.530 slash and 15 home runs. Outfield: Mike Trout, Los Angeles Angels; Mark Trumbo, Baltimore Orioles; Mookie Betts, Boston Red Sox — There are lots of great candidates in the A.L. outfield, but I’ll take these three. Trout and Betts probably don’t need a whole lot of explanation, but Trumbo has surprised just about everyone so far. He leads baseball with 20 home runs, but he’s doing more than just hitting home runs, reaching base at a .337 clip. On the bench: Carlos Beltran, New York Yankees; Lorenzo Cain, Kansas City Royals; Jackie Bradley, Jr., Boston Red Sox; George Springer, Houston Astros; Michael Saunders, Toronto Blue Jays. NATIONAL LEAGUE First base: Paul Goldschmidt, Arizona Diamondbacks — Goldy’s slow start is far in the rearview mirror at this point. His line is up to .282/12/40 with virtually no help in the lineup. On the bench: Brandon Belt, San Francisco Giants — Belt has really turned into a nice player with a .300/8/33 line. Anthony Rizzo, Chicago Cubs — His numbers don’t blow you away, but this is the All STAR game and
David Ortiz of the Boston Red Sox will make his final All-Star Game appearance in San Diego in July. (AP Photo/Elise Amendola)
Rizzo is the star of the best team in baseball. Second base: David Murphy, Washington Nationals — This position is a two-horse race, but I’ll take the guy leading all of baseball with a .367 batting average while also clubbing 11 home runs and driving in 42 runs. On the bench: Ben Zobrist, Chicago Cubs — He might not be the household name, but Zobrist has been Chicago’s best player this year. He plays all over the field, he hits for average, he hits for power and he drives in runs. Josh Harrison, Pittsburgh Pirates — The sparkplug is 11th in batting average, fifth in stolen bases and has driven in 30 runs while playing a solid second base. Shortstop: Corey Seager, Los Angeles Dodgers — Three rookies are battling it out for the honors at shortstop. I give the
nod to Seager, who has been the hottest of the three lately and is hitting .284/15/36. On the bench: Trevor Story, Colorado Rockies — Who can forget that white-hot start Story had? He’s cooled off considerably, but still deserves an AS nod. Aledmys Diaz, St. Louis Cardinals — He’s not even on the ballot, but Diaz has been an unexpected boon to the Cardinals. The rookie is hitting .315/8/32 after unexpectedly getting the starting job thanks to the Jhonny Peralta injury. Third base: Nolan Arenado, Colorado Rockies — He’d probably be the pick here based on defense alone, but he also just happens to be leading the league with 19 home runs and 53 RBI. His 3.5 WAR also tops the Senior Circuit. On the bench: Kris Bryant, Chicago Cubs — His
easy power has led to 15 home runs and a .277/.361/.521 slash line. He’s also fourth in WAR at 2.4. Martin Prado, Miami Marlins — Batting average isn’t everything, but Prado is tied for second in the league at .332 to go along with a .374 OBP. Catcher: Wilson Ramos, Washington Nationals — Ramos has exploded for a .337/10/36 slash and helped Washington to first place in the East. He’s a few at-bats short of qualifying for the batting title, but he’ll be there shortly. On the bench: Buster Posey, San Francisco Giants — Again, his numbers won’t blow you away, but he’s one of the stars of the league and needs to be in San Diego. Jonathan Lucroy, Milwaukee Brewers — After a down year last season, Lucroy is back CONT. ON PAGE 27

8TH ANNUAL VAN MILLER TOURNAMENT, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 25 just wanted to give back to the community that he grew up in,” Lake Shore Savings’ Wendy Harrington shared. “The best way to do that was through scholarships for Dunkirk High School students.” The proceeds from the tournament do indeed go towards the Van Miller Hometown Hero Scholarships Fund. Two scholarships are awarded each year to graduating seniors at Dunkirk High School. “The students have to write an essay about their hero,” Harrington described of the process. “Then as a committee we read over the essays and rank them. Then we have another committee with an outside person come in and interview the students.” Last year’s scholarship award winners, Sara Keleman and David Morgan, were on hand at this year’s tournament to lend a helping hand. The Dunkirk High School JROTC also served as the color guard with the national anthem sung wonderfully by DHS student Sarah Kobel. “This year I really wanted to incorporate the Dunkirk High School students into this event,” Harrington said. “We started off with a moment of silence for Van, then we had the national anthem and the color guard. It was beautiful.” There were plenty of other fun activities besides the actual golf. There was an impressive basket raffle, an ice cream cart with Cold Stone Creamery donated by Tim Horton’s, Duke’s Donuts, mulligans were sold, a betting hole was set up and, new to this year’s tournament, a Ring of Fire hole. “Shorewood Country Club made a big ring around the hole,” Harringon explained about the Ring of Fire. “If they got it in the ring, they split the pot. We had two winners that each went home with over 100 dollars.” For the third straight year, the tournament also raised money for the Folds of Honor on hole No. 17. This year, veteran Tony Grenada stood guard on the hole. Fold of Honor provides annual educational scholarships to military families of those who have been killed or disabled while in active duty. Since its founding in 2007, the organization has awarded over 7,500 scholarships to support private education tuition, tutoring, educational summer camps, as well as higher education tuition assistance. “We’ve raised close to $2,500 for the Folds of Honor over the last three years,” Harrington noted. More information on the Folds of Honor can be found at foldsofhonor.org. In addition to the presenting sponsorship of Lake Shore Savings Bank, the following sponsor’s deserve special mention: Counsel Financial Services, LLC (Gold Sponsor); Baker Tilly Virchow Krause, LLP (Gold Sponsor); Buffalo Bills (Cart Sponsor); IREM Solutions (Bar Sponsor); Putnam Record Agency (Lunch Sponsor); HBKS Wealth Advisors (Barbecue Sponsor); Johnson Mackowiak & Assoc.

Raffle tickets for that prize were sold throughout the season with the winner being picked the day of the golf tournament. “Basically what we’ve done this past year with the money we’ve raised through this and our other fundraisers,” Miller explained, “we’ve completely updated the Welch Field baseball complex. We got about $2,000 worth of dirt and we put up fencing for the safety of the kids. This year we’re going to look into turning around and investing into Smith Field, where our girls play.” To the relief of everyone involved, the weather cooperated this year.

Designated Hitter: Fans don’t vote for the DH for the N.L. squad, but take your pick from basically any of the outfielders that will be on the bench. Outfield: Bryce Harper, Washington Nationals; Starling Marte, Pittsburgh Pirates; Yoenis Cespedes, New York Mets — No, Harper isn’t hitting .350 like he was last year, but he’s still reaching base at a .408 clip with 13 bombs. Cespedes has been up and down, but deserves to be there. Marte has quietly put together an impressive season and ranks second in the N.L. with a 3.3 WAR.

round wasn’t great through the first four holes. Sure we laughed a lot and had a great time being outside playing golf, but the scores weren’t anything to write (get it?) home about. Then No. 5 happened. I went back and forth on whether to use a pitching wedge or a nine iron on the short par 3. I normally use a pitching wedge, but the wind was really giving me second thoughts. I stayed true to the ol’ PW. The ball felt pretty good, though not perfect off the tee. I pulled it just a little left, but the wind kept it right on the left end of the green. I overhit it by just bit, too, and the ball landed a little high-left of the pin. Then it started rolling backwards…right for the pin. It couldn’t have missed the cup by more than a few inches. It’s the closest I’ve ever come to a hole-in-one and was one of the more exciting moments I’ve ever seen on a golf course. Gosh that was fun. Remember earlier in this article when I mentioned “overthinking” when you’re lining up a putt – especially a birdie putt? I did that in spades. I had no more than a five-foot birdie putt. It was basically straight uphill and as easy as it comes. I pushed it right. I thought I saw a slight break so I left it out there. If there was ever a shot to have back, that would be it. I make that putt 9 out of 10 times, but I totally choked on this one. The other highlight for me came on No. 9, where I recorded my first par of the season after several missed chances there. I hit my tee shot just off the back of the green for the second straight round. Then, again for the second straight round, didn’t quite get enough on the chip back onto the green and left myself with a long par putt. This time, however, I nailed it. For half a second it looked like the ball was going to stop just on the lip of the cup, but if finally fell, giving me a 45 for the round. Considering it started off like pure garbage, I wasn’t disappointed by a 45. It lowered my average at Hillview this year to 46.9 from 47.1. That includes my two very forgettable 50s. Ouch. I wish I could pretend those didn’t happen. Want to play golf with me? Just shoot me an email. I’m almost always DTG (down to golf, for all you cool kids). As always, golf is great. Go get some.

Penguins Cap Turnaround Season with 4th Stanley Cup By Josh Dubow AP Sports Writer
SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) -- Back in December, the Pittsburgh Penguins looked like a lost team bound to miss the playoffs. Sidney Crosby and the offense couldn't score, the offseason acquisitions such as Phil Kessel and Nick Bonino had yet to click and coach Mike Johnston was fired. Six months to the day after coach Mike Sullivan took over, the Penguins are champions again. Led by Crosby's dominant play on both ends of the ice, speed that opponents struggled to match and a rookie goaltender who showed an uncanny ability to bounce back from rare shaky performances, the Penguins won their second title of the Crosby era - seven years to the day after last holding the Cup. ''I have a greater appreciation this time around,'' Crosby said. ''At a young age, going back-to-back like we did, you just think it's going to be an annual thing. With the core we have, you think everyone's going to stay together, the team's not going to change. But it does. That's kind of the reality of playing hockey.'' The turnover this season was a major reason for the turnaround in fortunes after six straight years of playoff disappointments. General manager Jim Rutherford acquired the entire ''HBK line'' of Carl Hagelin, Nick Bonino and Phil Kessel over the past 12 months, Matt Murray stepped in as goalie when starter Marc-Andre Fleury got hurt and rookies such as Conor Sheary and Bryan Rust delivered clutch playoff performances. Throw in mainstays such as Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang and the Penguins had the right ingredients to win it all. But it all starts with Crosby, who set up Letang's game-winner midway through the second period and Patric Hornqvist's empty-netter that sealed the 3-1 victory over the San Jose Sharks on Sunday night that gave Pittsburgh its fourth title. Despite not scoring a goal in the final, Crosby controlled the play with his committed defense, strong performance in the faceoff circle and playmaking ability that earned him the Conn Smythe trophy as playoff MVP. ''It places him up there with the greats of the game of all-time,'' Sullivan said. ''He's that good in my mind. I've said all along here through the course of the playoffs, he's deserving of the Conn Smythe. His numbers don't indicate the impact he had on helping this team win, or the impact he had on a game-to-game basis. He was a great leader for our team.'' Three nights after squandering a chance to become the first Pittsburgh team to win a title in front of the home fans in 56 years, the Penguins finished the job

on the road just like they did in Minnesota (1991), Chicago (1992) and Detroit (2009) in past title runs. The championship in Detroit was supposed to be the first of many for a team led by players like Crosby and Malkin. But a series of concussions cost Crosby almost an entire season and a half, and there were those playoff disappointments that included twice blowing 3-1 series leads. There was no second celebration in the Crosby era - until now. ''It's so hard to win it year after year,'' said Lemieux, who won back-to-back titles and Conn Smythe trophies as a player for Pittsburgh. ''For them to be able to come through this year and win their second Cup is big. Hopefully there's a few more for them.'' This didn't seem as though it would be a season to remember back in early December. But the Penguins found their stride under Sullivan and took off in March. ''Everyone takes that personal, puts the responsibility on their shoulders to be better,'' Crosby said. ''I think individually and as a group we had high expectations, we knew we needed to be better. I thought we just slowly got better and better.'' Pittsburgh knocked off the New York Rangers in the first round, Presidents' Trophy-winning Washington
in round two and then rallied from a 3-2 series deficit B to beat Tampa Bay in the Eastern Conference final. A The Penguins were in control for almost the entire final. They did not trail until Game 5 at home and B responded to a strong push from San Jose in the clincher to avoid a decisive seventh game. Pittsburgh n held San Jose to just one shot on goal in the first 19 L minutes of the third period to preserve the one-goal l t lead. The Penguins sealed it when Crosby blocked a shot from Marc-Edouard Vlasic that set up Horn- ' qvist's empty-netter. T ''In the playoffs, suddenly we thought we could beat a any team,'' Malkin said. ''We tried to play the same ' game we played in 2009.'' t Logan Couture scored the lone goal for the Sharks, who were making their first trip to the final in their L 25-year history. Martin Jones made 24 saves and was 1 c San Jose's best player for the series. ''The end is like hitting a wall,'' coach Peter DeBoer E b said. ' While the season ended in disappointment, it also was a bit of a breakthrough for Joe Thornton, Patrick s L Marleau and the rest of a franchise that had been known for playoff collapses, most notably in 2014 B when the Sharks blew a 3-0 series lead in the first M round to Los Angeles.

Lagano Wins at Michigan, Helps Make NASCAR History By Larry Lage AP Sports Writer
BROOKLYN, Mich. (AP) -- Joey Logano plopped into a seat, getting a muchneeded break, when the 26-year-old driver found out he was just a part of history. Logano pulled away from the pack to win the FireKeepers Casino 400 and was followed by 20-year-old Chase Elliott and 23-year-old Kyle Larson, the youngest top three in NASCAR Sprint Cup history. ''That's pretty cool,'' he said when informed of the feat Sunday. The trio's average age of 23 was younger than the 24.7 of the top three finishers at a race in 1951 and two races the previous year. ''The future of NASCAR is present,'' Logano said. ''It's going to be big. It's amazing to see.'' Logano, the pole-setter, moved past Elliott on lap 153 and stayed ahead for the 15th Sprint Cup series victory of his career in the 15th race of a year that has included 10 different winners. Elliott finished a career-best second, but wasn't in the mood to celebrate because he blamed himself for poor restarts. ''I definitely messed up,'' he said. ''Putting it in the correct gear would be a good start.'' Larson fell one place short of matching his best performance. Brad Keselowski was fourth and points leader Kevin Harvick finished fifth at Michigan International Speedway. Dale Earnhardt Jr., who finished 39th out of 40, is the only winner from 2015 that is winless this year. NASCAR's latest aerodynamic package made its debut, part of the sport's plan to create more competitive racing. ''We hope it works,'' team owner Joe Gibbs said, leaving a venue that used to be packed and now has pockets of empty seats in the 72,000-seat racetrack. ''We need more people in the stands.'' The new aero setup included, for the first time in more than a decade, a reduction in the downforce to 1,500 pounds and shortening of the spoiler to 2.5 inches. ''It's not a whole lot different than the other package,'' Earnhardt bristled from the garage after a crash knocked him out of the race. ''I think we talk about packages too much.'' Drivers weren't sure how their cars would handle due to the changes, which will also be implemented next month at Kentucky. That appeared to lead to an uncharacteristically accident-free start on the 2-mile oval about 70 miles west of Detroit. The first caution didn't slow down the race until lap 47, the cleanest start at MIS since 2009. ''At the start of the race, everyone was trying to take it easy,'' Larson explained. Free-flowing racing didn't last long. Yellow flags became frequent before a restart with 30-plus laps left. Logano had a huge lead with 12 laps to go when Denny Hamlin, the Daytona 500 winner, blew out his front right tire to force another restart. Logano sped away when the racing went green again and coasted to the win, seemingly taking advantage of the new aero package. ''The cars are out of control, no doubt,'' he said. ''Crazy. It makes it a lot of fun. You're going faster in the straightaway and you have no downforce. Especially three-wide, it's a recipe for disaster.'' BUSCH BUMMED: Kyle Busch had finished 30th or worse in four straight races since winning his third race of the year last month at Kansas. Busch completed just 52 laps before blowing his engine, causing him to finish 40th and last.

''The last four races have been really, really bad,'' he acknowledged. FAMILY TIES: The Earnhardt family - Dale Jr. and his nephew, Jeffrey - had a rough day, finishing toward the back of the 40-car race. The right side of Earnhardt Jr.'s car crashed into the wall, ending his race after 61 laps. He bumped against Chris Buescher soon after a restart. ''He must have just lost the nose of his car,'' Earnhardt said. ''I hate it, but you try to take care of each other out there.'' Jeffrey Earnhardt was forced out on lap 107 when a fire started in the front of his car, which became fully engulfed in flames as he steered it on to pit row. Jeffrey Earnhardt, who had to jump from the car, was evaluated at the infield medical center was released. UP NEXT: Sonoma Raceway, June 26. Kyle Busch is the defending race winner.
Stewart Loves New Aero Package, Hates Restarts
BROOKLYN, Mich. (AP) -- Tony Stewart raved about NASCAR's aerodynamic package and ranted about its restarts after one of his best performances of his farewell season. Downforce was reduced to 1,500 pounds and spoilers were shortened to 2.5 inches for the first time in more than a decade. Those were part of changes that were implemented for the first time Sunday at the FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan International Speedway, where Joey Logano won his first race of the year. ''I absolutely love it,'' Stewart said. ''The package is good.'' The restarts? Not so much. ''The restarts are stupid,'' Stewart said. ''I've got only six months more of these stupid restarts.'' The three-time champion plans to retire at the end of the season. He missed the first eight races this year with a back injury. Stewart finished seventh - one shy of his season-best sixth at Talladega - in a 40-car race that was stunted by nine caution flags.

Gilmore Grudgingly Reports For Mandatory Practices By John Wawrow AP Sports Writer
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) -After skipping the Buffalo Bills' entire spring schedule of voluntary workouts, cornerback Stephon Gilmore provided one good reason why he showed up for practice on Tuesday. ''It's mandatory,'' Gilmore said. Rather than risk being fined by the Bills for refusing to report, Gilmore was a grudging participant in opening the team's three-day mandatory minicamp. Even then, his participation was limited to taking part in stretching and individual drills while observing the rest of practice from the sideline. Saying his surgically repaired shoulder has fully healed, Gilmore cited the lack of progress in negotiations to extend his contract beyond next season as the reason he's placing less emphasis on practice. And it's an approach he suggested might extend into next month, once training camp opens. ''I feel like it's better for me to just wait it out and go when the time is right,'' Gilmore said, before looking ahead to training camp. ''Whenever I get there, I will compete.'' Asked if his choice of the word ''whenever'' means he might not show up for the start of camp, Gilmore replied: ''I mean, we'll see.'' Buffalo's 2012 first-round draft pick, Gilmore is entering a critical stage of his career and at a time salaries are skyrocketing for the league's top cornerbacks. The Bills last year elected to pick up the fifth-year option on Gilmore's contract, which pays him a base salary of just over $11 million. Attempts by both sides to extend the contract have stalled this offseason, opening the prospect of the Bills losing Gilmore to free agency next year. Last month, general manager Doug Whaley described talks as being ''a complicated process,'' while cautioning the value of Gilmore's next contract as potentially handcuffing the team from addressing other positional needs.
