In 1987, Ralph Sampson pulled out of the game because of an injury, setting off a chain reaction that resulted in the simultaneous establishment of my favorite All-Star memory and the improbable recovery of a long-forgotten personal hoops memory. Faced with an open roster slot in 87, Pat Riley, in a stroke of public relations genius, selected a player from the host city SuperSonics. Not sharpshooter Dale Ellis, who was already poised to get schooled by Larry Bird in the three-point contest. And not Xavier McDaniel, the slick-domed fan favorite who could provide some much-needed grit to the flashy West squad. Riles opted for Tom Chambers as the "Replacement Player," and thus began my trip down memory lane. Sitting in front of the TV, I watched as Magic Johnson led break after break against Bird, Dr. J, MJ and the East. Orchestrating the offense as only he could, Magic had Kareem, Hakeem, Worthy and somewhat incongruously, Chambers by his side. Rather quickly, it became clear that Chambers was getting more than his fair share of good looks, despite opening up with an ice cold 0-4 from the field. Still the passes kept coming and Chambers kept shooting, much to the delight of the hometown crowd, when it hit me like a Moses Malone pick. Theyre pulling a Padavano Trucking! I thought, and thats when it all came back to me. In my first, and only, season of Biddy Basketball, I too was a "Replacement Player," the sixth and final roster slot for the Padavano Trucking squad. My role was simple: in the unlikely event that one of our real players didnt show, I was the guy who would be plugged into the lineup so we wouldnt forfeit the game. Fate intervened before the last game of the season, however, when one of our real players pulled up lame, just like Sampson. The school gym just a half-block from my house, I took the court to a raucous home-crowd ovation, just like Chambers. Spurred on by the buzzing crowd, our point guard disproportionately fed me the rock, just like Magic. And despite my dismal 0-10 from the field, we won the game, just like the West. The similarities end there, of course. Chambers, a terrific player who averaged 18 points per game over the course of a fine 16-year career, scored a game-high 34 in the Wests 154-149 OT victory. To the delight of the Kingdome crowd, he was also selected as games MVP.

Today we're talking basketball, as we reminisce about the legendary ABA and the new league that sports the same name...

Newton's pure water originates in the Quabbin Reservoir in central Massachusetts, yet the area around Quabbin is unfamiliar to most residents except for perhaps birding and fishing enthusiasts. Allen Young, land protection advocate and author of North of Quabbin Revisited: A Guide to Nine Towns North of the Quabbin Reservoir, will be the featured speaker for the Newton Conservators Spring Lecture. He will talk about the unique nine-town area known as the North Quabbin as well as the Quabbin Reservoir itself, and about exciting and sometimes difficult land protection and recreational opportunities there. It has relevance for the people of Newton who may appreciate the concept of saving the rural parts of the Commonwealth that are under so much development pressure. Allen Young, journalist and author of 13 books, has lived for nearly 35 years in the North Quabbin Region, one of the most rural areas of Massachusetts. He settled to the town of Royalston (population about 1,000) in 1973 as part of the "back-to-the-land" movement, taking a job as reporter for the Athol Daily News, later working as the community relations director for the Athol Memorial Hospital. His most recent book is a collection of articles entitled Make Hay While the Sun Shines: Farms, Forests and People of the North Quabbin. Now retired, he cultivates a large vegetable and flower garden, and volunteers for the Mount Grace Land Conservation Trust, dedicated to protecting farms and forests in a 23-town area. He holds a masters degree from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism and was even briefly a reporter for the Washington Post. In 2004, he received the Writing and Society Award from the University of Massachusetts English Department honoring a distinguished career of commitment to the work of writing in the world.
