Newark Pilots Earn Walk-Off Win Over Saugerties

The Newark Pilots (23-18) saved the drama for the ninth inning in a 7-6 walk-off victory over Saugerties on Monday night at Colburn Park. The win is the Pilots second walk-off of the season and now moves them into a tie with Jamestown for third place in the West division with nine regular season games remaining.

The Pilots fell behind early after starter Sam Harrington (Itawamba C.C.) struggled to keep the ball down in the first inning, allowing three runs on four hits. However, Harrington would settle into a nice groove after that, throwing the next three innings without allowing a hit.

Newark would respond with a sacrifice fly from Sam Fragale (Virginia Tech) in the bottom of the inning to cut into the deficit. Fragale would add another RBI with a single in the third inning, which was followed by a Chris Whelan sacrifice fly to tie the game at 3-3.

Will Gorman (RIT) would hit a solo home run on the first pitch of the fourth inning to give the Pilots a 4-3 lead. The home run was Gorman’s first of the year, but it extended his Pilots team-record as the sixth of his career.

“Well it felt great hitting a home run, obviously it always does,” Gorman said of the home run. “I’ve been feeling good the last couple of games and if figured if I have my timing down I might as well be aggressive. The first pitch was there in and I just put good wood on it.”

The Stallions would get to Harrington again in the fifth with a sacrifice fly, followed by a two-run home run from Michael Pfenninger (Manhattan) to make the score 6-4.

However, the Pilots would storm back to take the lead once again with a bases-clearing three-run triple from Bo-Hao Huang (Fu Jen Catholic) in the seventh inning.

With the Pilots leading 7-6 entering the ninth, closer Brian Dolan gave up an unearned run to blow his first save of the season on a single from Caleb Kerbs (Maine) to tie the game at 7-7.

Darian Herncane (Binghamton) reached base on an infield single with one out in the bottom of the ninth. Herncane would then steal second to put himself into scoring position with Russ Olive (UMass-at the plate. Olive would drive home the winning run on a single hit up the middle with Herncane scoring on a close play at the plate to win the game.

“Dolan is our guy at the end of games,” Pilots head coach Chris Edmondson said. “He pitched well tonight and just had some unfortunate things happen. The guys know that and they were able to rally and get a run to pick him up and get the win.”

The Pilots continue their playoff push with a home against Utica on Tuesday at 7:05 p.m. at Colburn Park.

Newark, N.Y. – The Newark Pilots continue to build their roster for the 2016 Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League (PGCBL) season with the addition of Niagara University Purple Eagles Greg Cullen and Julian Gallup.

Both Cullen and Gallup are in the midst of breakout seasons for a rising Niagara program, a member of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC).

Cullen has found a home as a table setter, batting second in the lineup for the Purple Eagles. In his freshman season, he’s batting .276 with a .344 on-base percentage. The shortstop has accumulated 32 hits, eight doubles, 17 runs scored, and 10 RBIs. He has also displayed tremendous patience at the plate by working out 13 walks. The 5-foot-10, 160-pound rookie began his collegiate career with an eight-game on-base streak, which included a season-long six-game hit streak. Cullen has a trio of three-hit outings, most recently doing so in a 4-3 victory over St. Bonaventure. In that game on March 22, he finished 3-for-5 with the game-winning RBI in the ninth.

Originally from nearby Penfield, N.Y., Cullen was a two-sport athlete at McQuaid Jesuit High School in Rochester, N.Y., where he lettered in both baseball and basketball. He guided the Knights to a Section V Class AA championship in 2015, batting .472 with a .639 on-base percentage. He collected 34 hits, 32 runs, and flashed his wheels by swiping 18 bags as a senior. Cullen capped off his high school career by being named to the All-Greater Rochester and All-New York State First Teams.

Julian Gallup

The fleet-footed Gallup will a dimension of power and speed to the Newark lineup this summer. The second-year outfielder has started all 28 games for the Purple Eagles, ranking third among starters with a .326 batting average. Among his 29 hits are a team-leading three home runs. He’s also 7-for-8 in stolen bases. Perhaps Gallup’s best outing of the season came in the series with MAAC opponent Saint Peter’s College. In the first of a three-game set, the 6-foot-1 outfielder went 2-for-4 with a double and a three-run homer, registering season highs with five RBIs and four runs scored. As a freshman, Gallup made 38 appearances, recording a .324 on-base percentage with 15 walks, 15 runs scored, and eight hits.

A two-time All-New York State selection, Gallup was a tremendously gifted three-sport athlete at Amsterdam High School. His high school baseball coach was Brian Spagnola, the president and general manager of the Amsterdam Mohawks. Under Spagnola's tutelage, Gallup hit at a combined .381 clip with 43 runs and 30 RBIs in his junior and senior campaigns. Additionally, he swiped a total of 35 bases in his final two prep seasons. That speed on the basepath translated well to the track, where Gallup won a state title in the 4x400-meter relay as a senior, the same year he quarterbacked the Rugged Rams football team.

The Newark Pilots open the 2016 PGCBL season on the road on Wednesday, June 1, against the Jamestown Jammers. The home opener at historic Colburn Park is scheduled for Friday, June 3, at 7:05 p.m. against the Geneva Red Wings. For more information and to purchase season tickets, please contact team president Leslie Ohmann at 315-576-6710 or newarkpilots@gmail.com.

Paintings by “MARJORIE MARCANO and CHERYL LEONARD VANDENBURG” June 11 – July 3, 2015

Submitted by: Wayne County Council for the Arts

Wayne County Council for the Arts is pleased to present in our Main Gallery, Paintings by “MARJORIE MARCANO and CHERYL LEONARD VANDENBURG”.

Marjorie Marcano was very fortunate to have the attention and encouragement of an excellent high school art teacher, Richard Hawver. She spent a year studying fine art at the School of Visual Arts in New York City and worked for a few years in a textile design studio for Warmsetta Mills, also located in New York City. After many years of doodling on everything and some serious drawing, she finally became motivated and took the first step and joined Wayne County Council for the Arts. She has participated in workshops for oil painting, watercolor, sculpture and figure drawing offered by awarded and professional artists – Wayne Williams, Dr. Hwang Chang and Roland “Chip” Stevens. Marjorie resides in Wayne County and continues to enjoy all types of art.

Cheryl Leonard VanDenBurg has lived on Canandaigua Lake and drawn inspiration from the Finger Lakes for over 30 years. She was born in Providence, Rhode Island. She summered there through her early 20’s and a love of the sea and water in general has been a strong influence to her work. She began painting seriously at a very early age. “Draws constantly when should be working”, was a familiar comment from school.

She lived and painted in Chicago, Illinois. Cheryl studied at the Chicago Art Institute, Triton College and College of DuPage during her 14 years there. Painting has always been her closest friend. Travel and a “Wanderlust” for far places has taken her to Germany where she lived for a year and traveled middle Europe painting. Painting trips abroad to France and Italy provided influence.

Cheryl’s theory is that a photograph can provide a better picture, but she can give you her opinion. Comfortable in both watercolor and oil, her work is characterized by movement and mood. There is a sculptured quality which shows up and may relate to seven years studying bronze sculpture with Wayne Williams at F.L.C.C in Canandaigua, New York. Cheryl has her own identifiable style which weaves its pattern through the ever changing metamorphosis of her work.

In the Chris Fayad Members’ Gallery, we are happy to present artist Victoria E. Gibson. Victoria attended Massachusetts College of Art and has taken various art classes and workshops over the years and managed to utilize her artistic talents in different career paths. She worked as a floral designer in a Flower shop; ran a Floral Department with artificial flowers and made arrangements and decorations with dried flowers for craft shows. She also worked as a Retail Advertising Representative for a daily newspaper. Many of the newspaper’s clients were small or sole owner business so she designed and wrote the advertisements for them.

Her enjoyment of color and making up places to express a fleeting moment of time or feeling and attempting to store that for time in a solid form is her artwork.

These exhibits are on view from June 11 – July 3, 2015. An opening reception, which is free to the public, with the artists will be held Friday, June 19, 5:30 to 7:30 pm.

Wayne Art Gallery hours are Thursday, Friday and Saturday, 12:00 to 3:00 pm and by appointment. Admission is free. Visit these exciting exhibits and stop by our great Gallery Gift Store. Gift certificates are available for classes and gift store items. Wayne County Council for the Arts is located at 108 W. Miller Street, Newark.

Pilots Power Past 'Dawgs With A Trio Of Four Run Innings 13-0

Newark- After getting swept at home in a double header the night before, the Newark Pilots bounced back in a big way against the Mohawk Valley DiamondDawgs at Colburn Park. The Pilots entered the evening in third place in the West division while the DiamondDawgs sit in second place in the East. Michael Springer (BYU) got the call on the mound to wash the sour taste out of the Pilots mouth after their disappointing two losses to Adirondacks last night. Evan Davis (Marist) got the ball for the DiamondDawgs.

Pilots Power Past 'Dawgs With A Trio Of Four Run Innings 13-0

After being held relatively quite with the bats the last fourteen innings the Newark exploded verse Mohawk Valley and it started with a crooked number in the fourth inning. Already ahead 1-0, Jack Gerstenmaier (Virginia) lead off with a single and after Braxton Wilkes (Kansas St.) was struck out by Davis, six straight Pilots reached bases including five hits. The big knock was an RBI double by Sam Wiggins (Houston Baptist) scoring Wyatt Padgett (BYU) and Tanner Giesel (Southeastern CC). All said in the fourth the Pilots scored four runs on two errors by the DiamondDawgs and increased their lead to 5-0.

Newark put up another four on the scoreboard in the sixth. For the second time on the night Austin Clock (SUNY Cortland) and Zach Wall (Young Harris) lead off with back to back singles. After a fielder’s choice put runners on the corners, the top of the order cashed brought them. Back to back to back RBI base hits by Luis Silverio (Palm Beach CC), Gerstenmaier and Wilks to break the game wide open.

The Pilots added their third four run inning of the game in the seventh.

Springer was masterful on the hill as he worked 7 2/3 shutout innings, giving up only two hits and striking out five to pick up the win. Wall was four for five at the plate to lead the offensive outburst as the Pilots crushed fifteen hits in the 13 to 0 win.

Pilots improve to 14-12 on the season and head to Elmira tomorrow night to start a home and home as they return to Colburn ParkMonday night, first pitch 7:05.

Landfill Truck Traffic

SUBMITTED by Roger Straub, Route 88 N, Newark (27-Mar-2013)

Letter to the Editor

I am greatly concerned with the impact on local roads and traffic patterns created by the trucks which will be hauling the trash to the proposed Arcadia landfill, and returning.

The Arcadia Hills website, under the section "Impact/Mitigation “says, "A Traffic Study for the proposed facility has been completed using the 2008 New York State Department of Transportation traffic count study as baseline data for existing traffic. Based on an assumption of the facility accepting 100 truckloads of waste per day it has been calculated that local roads will experience minimal increases in overall traffic."

Is this study available for public review? Is the Town willing to verify these figures or have another study done? Why were 2008 study numbers used in the study when 2010 numbers are available on the DOT website? (The 2010 Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) Count for Rt. 88 exhibited a decrease of 130 vehicles per day; a decrease of 2.8 %.)

Landfill Will Cost Farm-Related Jobs

SUBMITTED by Joe Yonda (18-Mar-2013)

Letter to the Editor

The Arcadia Town Supervisor and Board are proposing a new landfill in Arcadia. I think it's a bad idea that will hurt our farmers and cost us jobs.

Our muck farms and orchards are rich, precious and rare and the farmers who work them grow more than food. They are the roots of an employment chain that sprouts job opportunities for everybody from farm workers, to store owners, to truckers, to a multitude of others business. They are our job creators!

With landfills come risks: the risk of water and air pollution, vermin, excessive noise and competition for clean water supplies. Is it worth putting at risk farmland that can never be replaced or "fixed" once a landfill pollutes it? How about the risk to the tax paying, job creating farm stands, pumpkin farms and Christmas tree farms that make Arcadia a good place to raise (and support) a family?

What We Don't Know About Landfills

SUBMITTED by William Molinere (18-Mar-2013)

Letter to the Editor

Let me start by saying that I am a Native American, originally from Louisiana. The concepts of the
Creator and the Creation are very important to me. I am a resident of the Town of Arcadia. My concern
is that bringing other people’s garbage into our region may damage the Creation in the Finger Lakes
Region beyond the point of return. We don’t even know if we have reached that point already.

With all the technological advances in all areas of our lives, everything from cell phones in our pockets
to space stations orbiting the planet, we still rely on the oldest method of dealing with trash--burying
it. Really “landfill” is a misnomer since the trash is creating huge artificial hills in our glacier-created
landscape, eyesores that result in choking odors and flying trash.

In the recent draft document for the Finger Lakes Sustainability plan (www.sustainable-fingerlakes.org),
one of the 8 areas of examination is Waste and Materials Management, and yet the document is silent on
the issue of bringing other people’s trash into our region. In fact, one of the goals is to bring trash in by
train to reduce truck traffic. What if the trash did not come to our region at all?

Pilots Sign Two Strong Arms From BYU

Submitted by: Brian Connell - Newark Pilots

The Newark Pilots in the Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League have signed two impact arms for the 2013 campaign. James Lengal and Derek Speigner of Brigham Young University will be joining the Pilots pitching staff this summer. Both experienced righties, Lengel and Speigner will help anchor a strong staff this season.

Lengal, a sophomore at Brigham Young appeared in 12 games for the Cougars last year as a freshman, while posting a 3.86 era and earning a win in relief against Santa Clara. He is projected to be a big part of the Cougars pitching staff this spring and will give them a boost out of the bullpen and in spot starts. This 6’3” pitcher boasts a strong fastball and commands the zone well. “He will have a large impact for the Pilots this coming summer, and I look forward to working with him,” says Coach Mike Armstrong. James hails from Spanish Forks, Utah where he attended Spanish Forks High school. While there he was a first-team all state player in 2010 and a second-team all state player in 2011. In addition he was voted the team’s most outstanding player in 2011 after helping them win the 4A state championship. Spanish Forks won two other state championships during Lengal’s time there.

Junior pitcher Derek Speigner is a transfer to BYU from UC Riverside where he led the team in appearances out of the bullpen. His 29 outings resulted in 31.2 innings pitched and a 2-1 record while he finished the season with a 5.40 era. Armstrong says, “Speigner is a submarine pitcher who is going to come into games and confuse hitters across the league.” Derek is set to make a large impact for the Cougars this season with his submarine throwing style. His 29 appearances set a school record at Riverside and, while he ranked third in games finished and opposing batting average. Speigner’s past summer ball experience includes playing in the Alaskan League for the Anchorage Alaska Pilots. He hails from Gig Harbor, Washington where he played fro Gig Harbor High School.

The Newark Pilots defeated the New York Collegiate Baseball League’s Utica Brewers 7-3 Wednesday night at Colburn Park. The game results of the game will not reflect each teams’stats as the game was an exhibition.

Wasting no time in visiting the Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League, the Brewers scored the first two runs of the game in the top of the first. The right fielder Matt Bahnick (Tallahassee CC) got things started by singling in Eros Modeno (Bethune Cookman). With one out in the inning and a man on third, the catcher Daniel De La Calle (Miami Dade) flied out to right field, giving Bahnick the chance to stroll home on the sacrifice.

The Pilots got their offense going as they tacked on four runs in two innings, starting in the second inning. With a man on second, the right fielder Joe Landi (Univ. of Rhode Island) singled to right field allowing Josh Perez (Mississippi College) to score on close play at the plate.

Eventually reaching third base, Landi scored the tying run as Ben Bostick drove him in on a RBI single that was hit to shallow right field. In the bottom of the third inning, Perez recorded an RBI as he blasted a triple into left field, giving Tyler Mcdonald (Millersville Univ.) the chance to score all the way from first. Landi recorded his second RBI of the night as he singled Perez home making the score 4-2.

The Pilots extended their lead to 7-3 as the game progressed. Josh Crowdus (Delta State), Adam

Grace (Erie CC), and Austin Logan (UC Davis) all crossed the plate for the team to build the lead. Crowdus scored in the bottom of the sixth, while Grace and Logan scored in the bottom of the eighth.

Chris Rubio (Cal State Fullerton) earned the loss for the Brewers. In the righty’s five innings of work, he gave up eight hits, four runs, three of them earned, while striking out 3 and walking two. Phillip Flach (Samford Univ.) got the start for the Pilots in a winning effort. In his seven innings of labor, the righty gave up seven hits, 3 earned runs while striking one and walking one.

Proposed Landfill in Arcadia a Concern for Nearby Residents

SUBMITTED by Don Lochner (27-Jun-2012)

Letter to the Editor

I’m mad! Seriously, a dump? My wife and I put our life savings into a nice little house in the country where we are raising our daughter. It has been on our minds constantly. We have researched and what we’ve learn isn’t good. Landfills leak, they burn, they smell and they’re noisy. They also grow. It took Albion 10 years and a Supreme Court battle to stop Waste Management from building a second landfill on property they own there.

The town Supervisor says he wouldn’t consider it if there was any risk, then pitches the fact that it relieves the town of liability from the old landfill. He says that it will only be a hundred trucks a day. That comes out to about one every 3 minutes in a 10 hour day. Oh, but we’ll get free recycling drop off. I don’t know about you, but mine gets picked up already with my trash.

"Not In My Back Yard"

Do you even know where your trash goes?

Don't fall for the"knee jerk" reactions of the uninformed. The proposed landfill on Rt. 88 is a serious matter with many benefits, as well as many drawbacks. How can people sign blank online petitions or place "no landfill" signs until they know all the facts?

Attend the meeting Tuesday, June 5th, 7pm at the Newark Senior High School auditorium, 625 Peirson Ave. Newark. Get the facts!

A New Wayne County Landfill?

SUBMITTED by Nancy Kasper (31-May-2012)

Letter to the Editor

Dear All,

Perhaps you read the public notice regarding the public informational meeting on the proposed new "Solid Waste Management Facility" *(DUMP)* targeted for The Town of Arcadia's former landfill site on Rt 88, Wayne County?

It's happening Tuesday, June 5th, 7pm at the Newark Senior High School auditorium, 625 Peirson Ave. Newark.

If you're not familiar with what it's like to drive by Seneca Meadows in Seneca Falls, the stench, the truck traffic, the view of Mount Trashmore, toxic leachate, that's where this might be headed. NY is already the trash capitol of the Northeast. Do we really want to continue this old paradigm mentality of the throw-away society, trashing our children's future?
