Cloudy Memory’s
Silver Lining
Perhaps subconsciously
honoring her own late Hazel, who left far too soon,
First Mate honors Mothers’
Day like the reconstructed
Scrooge. She cleans out
card racks, selecting messages for virtually every
mother she knows, relatives, friends, fellow covered-bridge fanatics. She
may single-handedly yank
the Postal Service back
from bankruptcy.
Now, a bittersweet event
adds another mother to the
roll.
For almost our entire 25
years at this address, she’s
watched a woman walk a
dog around the block, first
one, then another, now a
breathtakingly beautiful
beast Rocket Man could
call Silver Cloud.
Silver Cloud would look
our way and wag but her
mistress has wanted no
part of us. Every time she
passed she would pull Silver Cloud more tightly to
her and purposefully look
away, maybe even cross
the street. We’ve no idea
why she would so shun
us. Rocket Man suspects
it might stem from one
long-ago afternoon when
an earlier dog, and one of
ours, engaged in a friendly waste-water shootout
through her chain link
fence. Rocket Man laughed.
They didn’t.
Recently, Silver Cloud
has orbited far more frequently, three or four times
a day, sometimes at intervals of only a few minutes.
Then one day Silver
Cloud came around the corner with someone else at
the other end of the leash,
the woman’s son, who responded to a wave by coming over to chat, the dog the

very definition of canine affection, tail at warp speed.
First mate mentioned the
frequency of recent passages. He said with a sigh
that his Mom was “getting
pretty forgetful,” and sort
of asked us to keep an eye
on her. He, too, was at a
loss to estimate why she
held us in such disdain.
Monday,
the
earth
moved. As she passed, she
turned, waved and said
“hi.” Silver Cloud almost
shuddered with excitement. Next day, First Mate
went out to the street and
they had a long visit about
the dog and other matters.
And Silver Cloud’s mistress said, “My memory
isn’t what it used to be.”
When she returned,
Rocket Man asked, “What
on EARTH is going on?!”
“I believe,” said First
Mate, “that she has forgotten that she doesn’t like
us.”
‘tis true. She’s stopped
a couple more times since.
First Mate grazed the petfood aisle and picked up
some treats for the dog,
who is fiddle-fit and three
degrees beyond adorable.
And Rocket Man got to
thinking how wonderful it
would be if, for a blinking
moment, we could all have
old and certainly foolish
grudges wiped from the
slate. Surely her overall
prognosis is a matter of
concern and we will, indeed, monitor her movements closely. But for now,
Happy Mother’s Day, it’s
nice to have her back.

PAGE Edward Porto Honored with
Sign on Connecticut Street
Mayor Brown and Council Member Rivera unveil
“Ed Porto Way” with members of the Porto Family.
Mayor Byron Brown and
Niagara District Council
Member David Rivera unveiled the newly minted
“Edward Porto Way” on
Connecticut Street between Fargo and Prospect
venues on Monday, May
11th. Mayor Brown and
Council Member Rivera
were joined by members
of the Porto family and
friends of Edward Porto.
The trailblazing sign,
affixed to a city light pole
at 307 Connecticut Street,
will remind all those who
pass of Ed Porto’s dedication to the West Side.
Ed founded the Amici
Lodge #255 Order Italian Sons & Daughters of
America, located at 299
Connecticut Street for
over 38 years. He also cofounded the St. Anthony
Italian Festival, which was
celebrated on Connecticut
Street for over 13 years before moving to its current
location on Hertel Avenue.
“Ed Porto was an origi-
nal West Side booster”
Rivera stated, “and we
continue to see that Porto
support of the West Side
today as his wife and family members still live in the
neighborhood and work at
community organizations
on the West Side.”
Rivera added, “Edward
Porto Way will serve in
honor of Ed’s service to the
West Side and Buffalo and
a reminder to his family
and friends of the lasting
impact he had on this community.”
Edward Porto was born
May 11, 1938 and was a
lifelong resident of Buffalo
until his passing in 2008. He served as an Army Reservist until 1958 when he
was honorably discharged. Married to his wife
Danette for 46 years, he
was a father to Debbie,
Phil, and Judy, grandfather to Danielle, Rena,
Danette, Sean, and Cara
and great grandfather to
Justin and Anthony.

Cheman Leads
Pirates Over Braves
Joe Cheman had two big
hits, including a two run
homerun in the first inning
and struck out five batters
over two innings to help
lead the Pirates to a 6-0
shutout of the Braves this
past Saturday in Shoshone
Park.
The win kept the Pirates undefeated at 3-0 in
the Second Minors Division
and gave the Braves their
first loss in the season. The
young pitcher helped his
own cause on the mound,
giving his team an early 2-0
lead with his first homerun
of the season. Then in the
fourth, his triple extended
the Pirate lead while two
other Pirate pitchers kept
the basepaths empty.
The Brewers, Marlins
and Padres rounded out the
division and will get their
chance to face the Pirates
soon. Most of the players
are up from the Rookie Division from last season and
are now facing live pitching instead of the use of a
pitching machine.
On Saturday, Sal Genco
scored the winning run with
the bases loaded in the bottom of the sixth inning as
the Mets rallied to upend
the Cardinals, 9-8. The Nationals defeated the Reds 62 to remain undefeated and
the Cubs picked up their
first win of the year with a
6-3 win over the Giants.
MacKenzie Kelly-Parker
and the Rockies got a jumpstart on the top of the Major Pony Division with a big
win over the Dodgers. The
defending champ Cardinals are a game behind at
2-l, led by Anna Gardner
and Ellie Robertson. Jordin
Flynn and Emma Foster of
the Dodgers will give both
teams some headaches
with their fine pitching and
defense in weeks to come.
In Minor Pony, the Blue
Jays are 3-0 already and
lead a six team division.
That’s up two teams from
last season with the addition of the A’s and the Orioles.
In Rookie Pony, the team
to beat is the Rebels. Jasmin Barlow led the team
to a win over the Angels on
Opening Day. Amelia Cline
led the Lil Devils to their
first win and the Shamrocks rounded out the division where no team really
walks away sad about losing.
In First Minors, Zane
Schenck hit his first homerun ever to lead the Tigers
over the Yankees. Bryce
Thomas pitched two scoreless innings, striking out
six Angels. Hunter Potts
hit a solo homerun to lead
the A’s, 9-6.
Getting off to a good start
makes for a better season
for any player. Games have
been low scoring and competitive, and on Saturdays
as many as 20 games can
be played over a full day.
No matter which diamond
you choose, baseball and
softball are in full swing in
North Buffalo.
The Buffalo Rocket will
