LeBron James is the NBA’s Most Valuable Player.

Forget the votes. Who cares what the media think, anyway? The regular season means little as it is, and will continue to until “The Next” finally finished carrying franchises to the Finals.

In fact, forget replacing Bill Russell’s name on the MVP trophy; the guy played with more Hall-of-Famers than Eric Clapton. Commissioner Adam Silver should rename the league the National ‘Bron Association.

The only sure-fire pass James has shared with another future Springfield resident (of impact) is Dwyane Wade. Sure, he’s played with a few stars, but the fact that people are just coming around to James’ abilities either shows some real bias toward Michael Jordan, or they’re just not paying attention.

And, sadly, those are the same people who count rings, hold fruitless Finals trips in vain, and have put those Jordan comparisons on hold as of a year ago.

And, those same people will go back to their lazy bag of tricks once the Warriors win their third of four-straight Finals appearances.

Here’s a first-guess, and a point this writer will stand by come heck or too much Rohrbach’s Highland Lager:

The Cleveland Cavaliers are a lottery team without its king.

The Miami Heat have been also-rans without him.

His supposed, second-best teammate was out with a concussion for the decisive Game Seven in Boston.

The league itself has no heir apparent and suffered a ratings lag between MJ’s second retirement and his successor’s ascension.

Add the simple facts that the kid from Akron, Ohio has lived up to every expectation heaped upon him, came into the league at 18 (not after his junior season of college), was taken first overall, brought a title to his hometown team for the first time since a guy named Jim Brown did it, resurrected a moribund hoops franchise (twice), and carried two franchises to eight straight Finals appearances.

But, Games Six and Seven in the conference finals are were what turned the jury around? Child, please.

Will he be 3-6 in Finals after this series? Likely. And His Airness is 6-0, though his fanboys conveniently forget the headaches the Celtics and Pistons gave him, the 1995 Bulls team that was ousted by the Orlando Magic (remember them?) and the Wizards years.

By this logic, Joe Montana and Terry Bradshaw (both 4-0 in Super Bowls) are better quarterbacks than Tom Brady (5-3), even though Brady has played in as many NFL title games as both combined.

Yeah. How about all those playoff games for Joe and Terry that ended very badly? Some on a Gator. But, according to Jordan apologists and Brady haters, it would be better to miss the Finals or Super Bowl than lose one.

Brilliant. Sounds like a talk-show caller who goes by a self-given nickname.

Back to Jordan: the 1994 Air-less Bulls still reached the conference finals. Hmm. How valuable was Jordan? He’s arguably the greatest. But we’re talking VALUE.

It comes down to this:

Swap Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell. You think the Celtics are better or worse? Perhaps Red Auerbach goes to his grave with rings to fill toes on at least one of his feet.

Then there’s Kareem, who everyone overlooks and Magic, who’s career was cut short.

The greatest discussion will always be measured by the stubborn, the lowest-common denominator, or generational loyalists.

It’s an unfair debate with arbitrary rules. But, here’s a discussion that’s closed:

There’s not a single player in the history of the league that more valuable than LeBron James.

That won’t change, regardless of the outcome of the NBA Finals.

NEW YORK (AP) New guidelines released Wednesday recommend U.S. adults start colon cancer screening earlier, at age 45 instead of 50.

The American Cancer Society’s advice puts it out of sync with guidelines from an influential government advisory group, which kept the age at 50 in an update two years ago.

Cancer society officials acknowledge the shift to 45 could cause confusion for doctors and patients but felt strongly that they needed to act now. The advocacy group was influenced by its study, published last year, that found rising rates of colon cancer and deaths in people younger than 50. Experts aren’t sure why there has been a 50 percent increase in cases since 1994.

The guidelines are for men and women ages 45 to 75 of average risk for colon cancer; recommendations are different for people with certain conditions, like Crohn’s disease, or a family history of colon cancer. The group endorses six kinds of screening exams, from inexpensive take-home stool tests performed every year to colonoscopies done every 10.

The same tests are recommended by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, a panel that reviews evidence and issues advice for a variety of screenings and treatments. It updated its colon cancer guidelines in 2016 and its next review isn’t expected until around 2021.

That panel’s recommendations drive what screening is covered by insurance under the Affordable Care Act, although 20 states have laws that link coverage to the cancer society guidelines. It’s not uncommon for groups to have slightly different guidelines although those for colon cancer have been about the same for decades.

Most colon cancer occurs in adults 55 and older, and the good news is rates of cases and deaths have been falling for decades. Colon cancer, combined with rectal cancer, is the second leading cause of cancer death in the U.S. This year, more than 140,000 Americans are expected to be diagnosed with it, and about 50,000 will die from it.

Doctors will probably look to specialty medical societies to sort out the different guidelines, said Dr. Marcus Plescia, of the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials. But it may take a little while before they offer clear advice.

Some experts have worried about pre-50 risks of colon cancer in some racial and ethnic groups, and at least one specialty society for gastroenterologists has urged screening of black adults starting at age 45.

Others argue that instead of lowering the age for routine screening, more effort should be put into getting more people tested. Only about two-thirds of people 50 and older have been following screening guidelines.

WASHINGTON (AP) The largest U.S. banks would have leeway to take riskier trading bets for their own profit under proposed changes the Federal Reserve unveiled Wednesday.

The changes would loosen rules that since the 2008 financial meltdown have barred big banks from using depositors’ money to make sizable bets on stocks and bonds. The Fed now wants to relax these regulations, thereby giving Wall Street greater ability to engage in profit-making trades.

The changes would be applied according to how much trading banks do. At the upper level would be banks with at least $10 billion in trading assets and liabilities. Fed officials said 18 banks fall into that category, accounting for 95 percent of U.S. bank trading and include some foreign banks with U.S. operations.

Less stringent requirements would apply to banks that do less trading. The idea is to give the banks greater clarity on their permissible trading activity without sacrificing their safety and soundness, the officials said.

“Our goal is to replace overly complex and inefficient requirements with a more streamlined set of requirements,” Fed Chair Jerome Powell said at a meeting of the central bank’s governors.

The move coincides with other government efforts to ease financial regulations and protections that were tightened after the 2008 crisis. President Donald Trump has pushed for such changes, arguing that the stricter financial regulations have constrained economic growth.

Congress has, for example, loosened requirements on how much capital smaller banks must keep as a base to cushion against unexpected big losses. And the Trump administration has significantly scaled back the reach of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which was established to safeguard consumers against financial abuses.

The action the Fed took Wednesday would ease the limits imposed by the Volcker Rule under the 2010 Dodd Frank law. The rule was designed to restrict the trading that big banks could do. Those financial institutions had required federal bailouts after the 2008 crisis, a crisis that was ignited by excessive risk-taking.

Other U.S. financial regulatory agencies, including the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and the Securities and Exchange Commission, will discuss and possibly approve the Fed’s proposal in their own meetings in coming weeks. The proposal will be opened to public comment for 60 days.

The Volcker Rule is named for Paul Volcker, a Fed chairman in the 1980s who was an adviser to President Barack Obama during the financial crisis. Volcker urged a ban on deposit-funded, high-risk trading by big banks, arguing that it would help prevent future economic crises.

The use of depositors’ money by banks to make high-risk trading bets for their own profit is known as proprietary trading. For years, it was a huge money-making activity for Wall Street mega-banks like Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase and Morgan Stanley. Proprietary trading allowed big banks to tap depositors’ money in federally insured bank accounts, essentially borrowing against that money and using it for investments.

Under the Volcker Rule, banks have been limited to trading mainly on behalf of their clients rather than for themselves. But they have pushed back against the rule, and the Trump administration has been sympathetic.

“Weakening the Volcker Rule means allowing banks to play with other people’s money again,” said Ed Mierzwinski, a senior director at the U.S. Public Interest Research Group, a consumer advocacy organization. “That was the casino economy before the crisis.”

The Fed is an independent regulator that asserts its separation from political pressure and the White House. Trump, though, has had an unusual opportunity to put his stamp on the central bank by filling several key positions on the seven-member Fed board.

Powell, the new Fed chairman since February, was a board member under the previous Fed leader, Janet Yellen, and before that was an investment banker. After Trump named him Fed chief, Powell told Congress that he believes the rules enacted after the 2008 crisis could be improved, though he is not thought to back the administration’s ambition of aggressively rolling back regulations.

One key Trump appointee on the Fed board, Randal Quarles, a former investment banker, is the Fed’s top overseer of Wall Street and the leader in seeking to ease financial regulation. He has said the package of rules under Dodd-Frank should be overhauled but not scrapped.

Last Saturday, the six-seeded Wayne Eagles won their first Section V Baseball title since 1955 with a 5-2 win over Batavia in the Class A2 championship.

The win sent the Eagles to face Canandiagua in the Class A qualifier on Tuesday where Wayne fell to the Braves 2-1.

NEWARK – It was another outstanding night this year for Newark High School as it walked away with a dozen, that’s right, 12 Elenbe awards May 29th at the 22nd annual Wayne County Performing Arts Celebration.

Nine of the awards relate to the fall drama production of  “Charlotte’s Web” and three relate to the spring musical production of “Nice Work If You Can Get It.”

Both productions were directed by Emily Howard.

• “Charlotte’s Web” won best drama production.

• Anisha Stallworth won best actress for her role as Charlotte in “Charlotte’s Web.”

• Benjamin Cepulo was the runner up for best actor for his role as Wilbur in “Charlotte’s Web.”

• NHS senior Megan Cauwels won best supporting actress for her role as Edith Zuckerman/narrator in “Charlotte’s Web.”

• Ashton Keene won best supporting actor for his role as Gander/announcer in “Charlotte’s Web.”

• Kelsie Bushart was the runner-up for best supporting actress for her role as Templeton in “Charlotte’s Web.”

• Ryan Hermanet was the runner-up for best supporting actor for his role as Avery Arable/narrator in “Charlotte’s Web.”

• Olivia Bailey won best original poster for a drama production for “Charlotte’s Web.”

• Hermanet also won best playbill for a drama production for “Charlotte’s Web.”

• Cauwels also won best supporting actress in a musical production for her role as Dutchess Estonia Dulworth in “Nice Work If You Can Get It.”

• Jaston Brooks won best supporting actor in a musical production for his role as Cookie McGee in “Nice Work If You Can Get It.”

• Bailey also won best original poster for a musical production for “Nice Work If You Can Get It.”

“The Elenbe Awards always allows us to reflect on another great year of theatre at NHS,” Howard said afterward. “ I know I speak for all of the production staff involved that we are immensely proud of “Charlotte’s Web” and “Nice Work If You Can Get It.” I am impressed every year that our students rise to whatever challenge I present. It was particularly gratifying to win Best Play for “Charlotte’s Web.“ This was a beautiful piece about friendship, acceptance, and sacrifice that our cast and crew shared with audiences this fall. It was extra special because our Sensory Friendly performance provided an opportunity for us to share the story with all audience members. It will certainly be a show Newark will always remember.”

Elenbes are given out each spring at NHS to students and directors involved in musical and dramatic productions in 10 Wayne County schools.

Judges in the contest, sponsored by the Lyons National Bank, are members of the Wayne County Council For the Arts who attend every performance.

Prior to the awards presentation May 29th, five-to-six minute vignettes from the various schools’ musical and dramatic productions, were performed in the auditorium.

As he has done for the last 20 out of 22 years, Don Alhart, 13-WHAM TV anchor, with his matchless wit and charm, once again was the Wayne County Performing Arts Celebration Master of Ceremonies.

Robert Schick, CEO and Chairman of Lyons Bancorp Inc., and Lyons National Bank, which has sponsored The Elenbes program from day one assisted with the awards presentation onstage.

The Wayne County Performing Arts Awards Celebration program (The Elenbes), was founded by former Newark Central School District Superintendent Robert Christmann, who also was Superintendent of the Grand Island school district before retiring in 2012. He was given a Lifetime Achievement award in 2007.

Lyons National Bank has funded this program in its entirety since the first year. The name of the award, The Elenbe, finds its source in the LNB letters representing the Lyons National Bank.

Standing on the steps of the Wayne County Court House and in front of a group of enthusiastic supporters, Democrat Kenan Baldridge, current Rose Town Supervisor, announced his candidacy for the State Senate seat in the 54th District of New York.

Baldridge will be facing off against Republican Pam Helming, who won the seat two years ago after the retirement of long serving State Senator Mike Nozzolio. 

Baldridge pledged to introduce strong ethics legislation to prohibit outside income for Senators and require certain pension forfeiture for those convicted of corruption. Baldridge stated that the incumbent has been a profound disappointment. He noted her claims to support pension forfeiture for corrupt office holders, term limits and recall elections, pointing out that none of this has happened nor even attempted. He will work to close the LLC loophole and reduce corporate influence on public elections.

He pledged to fight the trash train that brings mountains of New York City trash to the 54th District.  He believes the 54th District should be an example of Best Practice waste management.

Baldridge pledged to keep the protections for battered women who are at their most vulnerable moments and need our help. He will support women’s equality to establish once and for all that women are legal and social equals and deserving of all the same rights as men.

Baldridge called for a real change agent in Albany – someone who will stand up for the people of the 54th.

The 54th Senate District includes  Wayne and Seneca Counties, parts of Cayuga and Ontario Counties, and the towns of Lansing and Webster. 

On Thursday night (May 31), the Wayne County Republican Committee gathered in Lyons for a Designating Convention to name their slate of candidates for November.

During the meeting, Wayne County Chairman, Bob Oaks, informed the committee that the State Republicans had recently made their designations for State positions. He noted that the Republican line up for November would include: Marcus Molinari of Dutchess County for Governor to challenge Democrat incumbent Governor Andrew Cuomo; Julie Killian from Westchester for Lieutenant Governor, Johnathan Trichter (a Democrat)  for Comptroller, and Keith Wolford, formerly  of Buffalo for Attorney General.

On hand to address the Wayne County Republicans was freshman New York State Senator Pam Helming of Canandaigua, who is just finishing her first term. She was the County’s choice for State Senator for the 54th District  two years ago, and is running for re-election. Later in the Convention, she was unanimously designated as the Wayne County Republicans choice for that seat, again.

Also addressing attendees was Monroe County Judge Vicki Argento, who is running for the 7th Judicial District Supreme Court seat, along with another Monroe County Judge, Ann Marie Taddeo. Argento thanked Wayne County Republicans for their welcoming nature and asked for support in November, and at the Judicial Convention in October.

The voting for the evening began with candidates for the 130th Assembly district seat, soon to be vacated by Macedon resident, Assemblyman Bob Oaks, who has served for 24 years. Challenging for the designation on Thursday evening were Gerald “Jerry” Fremouw, current Mayor of Clyde, and Brian Manktelow, current Supervisor or the Town of Lyons.

After the first weighted vote, Manktelow emerged as the designee. He will be on the Republican ballot in Wayne County in November. The position holds a two year term.

For the office of Wayne County Treasurer, a four year term, current Wayne County Auditor, Patrick Schmitt of Walworth, was the lone   candidate to be nominated. The Committee unamimously supported Schmitt for the County Treasurer line.

The position of County Coroner, which originally was a one person position, was recently changed to a two person job. With two seats open, four candidates had their hats in the ring.

Challenging were: Dr. Daniel Koretz of Ontario, who currently serves as Acting Coroner; Michael Donalty of Walworth, a retired police officer, formerly Chief of Police in the Village of Lyons; Sandra Isaac of Ontario, a Registered Nurse, currently Director of Nursing at the Wayne County Nursing Home; and retired State Police Captain, Philip Pettine of Newark.

With two seats in contention, the voting was called for each position separately. On the first ballot (with weighed voting), no majority was met. Rules required a 50% + 1 majority to win. A second ballot with the top two voter getters was commenced. The choice was Philip Pettine vs. Daniel Koretz. In that balloting, Pettine was the victor and will be one of the choices on the ballot for Coroner. The remaining three candidates, all wishing to battle for the second seat, were  included in the third vote. Again, no candidate received the majority, and the top two candidates ran off for the second position. Of the choice between Dr. Koretz and Sandra Isaac, Isaac was the victor.

The Republican slate for November is now: Brian Mantktelow for Assemblyman, Pam Helming for State Senate, Patrick Schmitt for County Treasurer, and Philip Pettine and Sandra Isaac for County Coroner.

Petitions for the candidates will begin circulating after June 6th.
