Neighborhood Sweeps: Focusing on the Community Article by Katrina Fuller From dilapidated buildings to overgrown eyesores, the Jamestown Department of Development is focusing in on its neighborhoods in efforts to clean up the city. Reinstating the Neighborhood Impact Inspection Program, inspectors are hitting the streets to address code violations and safety issues. According to the Department of Development, the renewal of the program stems from the complaints of area residents, who are tired of living in neighborhoods with deteriorating homes. “It’s basically a tap on the shoulder - letting them know there are code issues,” said Vincent DeJoy, the Director of Development. “We believe it has a very positive effect.” The program began in 2010, dividing the city up into separate quadrants. “The idea is going into different neighborhoods and inspecting every single house.” DeJoy explains. One quadrant is inspected each year; many areas have already been inspected over the past four years. “Our neighborhoods are one of the most important things we can do to affect our economic development.” This year, the area beginning at Stowe Street between Falconer and Buffalo Street and extending west to Clifton Avenue off Fairmount Avenue will be examined for code violations. Inspectors will be looking for a variety

Home owners in violation of code will first receive a courtesy letter that explains the violations and provides a time frame in which to complete the repairs. “If they’ve made contact with our office, we will go back and inspect the property,” DeJoy said. If the violations are not corrected, the owners will receive a formal Notice of Violation or an appearance ticket for Jamestown City Court. “We are watching the code issues - and we will aggressively go after those home owners. I think that if you don’t do something, then you will get more of this.”

Other cities have implemented similar programs to great success. In the early 90s, New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani was a firm believer in James Q. Wilson and George L. Kelling’s “Broken Windows” theory. They said that neighborhoods which are patrolled, orderly, and tended to on a regular basis are less likely to have high crime rates. Giuliani, using this theory as a foundation, implemented several strategies to clean up and organize the city, from cracking down on petty crimes to tidying up neighborhoods. According to NYC.gov, the crime rate in New York City dropped 57% and the murder rate was reduced by 65% during his tenure.

“That theory is valid,” Vincent DeJoy said. “If you have one or two houses that are vacant or dilapidated, it does invite more crime and more blight.” In recent months, the Jamestown area has seen an increase in crime, violence and drug related activity in many of the areas that are due to be inspected. “If we can address that, we can nip it in the bud, so to speak – it can go from a transitional neighborhood to a strong neighborhood with people who take pride in their community.” DeJoy is hopeful that this program will have a positive effect on the community. “We want to make this city a good place to do business and a great place to live.” Others share in that hope, eager to see development blossom in all areas of the community. “I feel there is a lot of good in it,” said a resident of an area due to be inspected next. “And the town has even answered a possible criticism of the project,” she added. “The good being that they want to keep Jamestown looking nice… and they’re doing it. But for some low income families who need things fixed, I think it is a wonderful there are now at least a few ways the town can help.” Recently, Jamestown has awarded a number of neighborhoods with grants for neighbors who submitted detailed plans to cooperate in general fix-ups and neighborhood beautification. “I think the clean sweep will benefit the whole community,” another satisfied resident added.

for sale. Typical rehabilitation includes bringing the properties up to code, addressing lead and asbestos hazards, and other general rehabilitation that lead to practically brand new homes. “The goal of this acquisition, rehabilitation, and resale program is to encourage homeownership in the City of Jamestown”, stated Joshua Freifeld the Executive Director for CHRIC. “CHRIC is trying to help combat the spread of blight in the city by specifically targeting areas that can positively impact the neigh-

borhood. We feel that our presence in Jamestown will help improve neighborhoods by encouraging home ownership and in turn provide a significant economic boost to the city by getting these homes back on the tax rolls” said Freifeld. Currently, CHRIC has four properties that have been rehabilitated, 15 Strong Street, 616 East 6th Street, 57 Liberty, and 1115 Prendergast. With prices varying from $26,400 to $57,900, you can own these homes with mortgage payments that are even cheaper than rents!

Plans are underway to rehabilitate additional CHRIC owned properties at 20 Price Street, 19 West 8th, and 116 Lincoln as well so that they can be ready for sale by the end of summer. All of these properties must be sold to first time homebuyers that are income qualified, based on the size of the family and take part in CHRIC’s homeownership education class. Call CHRIC today at 753-4650 to see if you qualify for this tremendous opportunity to become a homeowner.

Use It or Lose It

S

ome things wear out when you use them. Everybody knows that. It works like that for big things like old cars and little things like your tooth brush and that pencil behind your ear. It’s even true for your rickety, old knees and a good pitcher’s arm after a few too many innings. But some things get better with use; they only get worse if you use them the wrong way. Consider your house.

You can paint it or roof it or add a room… and it gets better. You might upgrade your electric service, renovate your kitchen or put new siding over those old, crumbling shingles… and it gets better. A good homeowner’s home gets better and better with loving use over many years. Old age only sets in after a century, or sometimes two. That’s one of the differences between a good neighborhood and a neighborhood that’s running down at its heels. There’s an old expression in the real estate business called “Pride of Ownership.” It’s what often moves folks from a cubby hole of an apartment or the back room in Mamma and Pappa’s house into their own new palace. They’ll even plant flowers and start to enjoy mowing a lawn or two. So, if well cared for homes say caring homeowners live there, and if good neighbors make good neighborhoods, then well used homes help make a community worth living in.

This week the Jamestown Gazette shines a special spotlight on our town’s efforts to make good neighborhoods better and to revive the sadly aging ones. This is one of those great examples of town officials at work, doing the good work we chose them to do. The message this year is clear concerning properties and homes in our neighborhoods: Use it or Lose it! Fortunately, though, there are a lot of constructive steps in between. As the work continues, Jamestown’s citizens will begin to see better, cleaner, safer neighborhoods and may even experience a hoped for boost in property values. Use it or lose it? Maybe our homes are only a parable of even more important lessons. It’s been said, for instance, that our health always seems much more valuable after we lose it. Then there’s the Biblical parable of the lazy man who lost the little he had because he didn’t make good use of what he’d been given to care for. What good things have you been given to use? Use it all well. Even money under your mattress loses value if it goes unused over the years.

Persell Middle School Principal Phil Cammarata with students Corin Derby and James Slick.

Article Contributed by Jamestown Public Schools Persell Middle School Principal, Phil Cammarata, was recently awarded the Bill Grobe Middle School Principal of the Year by the Western NY branch of School Administrators Association of New York (SAANY). Mr. Cammarata was presented the award, which is in recognition of outstanding performance in educational administration at a SAANY’s Conference in Buffalo for Region 12. Mr. Cammarata is the first principal in Chautauqua County to win this award. “The staff, students and parents at Persell provided many laudatory comments that I used in my introduction of Phil at the awards ceremony. Not only is his school extremely proud of him, but so are his administrative colleagues, the Board and the District,” said Jamestown Superintendent Tim O. Mains. “Mr. Cammarata was selected by SAANY for his leadership in the district, his outstanding

work ethic, his collaboration with staff, administration and parents, and his ability to set the pace and change the quality of education at the middle school level,” said Una Raimondo, Vice President of SAANY Region 12 and Special Education Supervisor Central Region for Erie 2 BOCES. “It is noteworthy that a Chautauqua County principal was selected. It was evident by the large contingency of Persell staff who attended the awards ceremony that Mr. Cammarata is very highly regarded and deserves this award.” Mr. Cammarata has served at Persell Middle School for the past 15 years; 12 years as principal and three years as assistant principal. Mr. Cammarata is also the president of the Jamestown Principal's Association. At the awards program, Mr. Cammarata could not take credit for his award alone. He dedicated the award to his family and his dedicated staff. In his words, "My staff makes me look great on a daily basis. I am truly blessed to be surrounded by such caring, dedicated and talented teachers."

MARK SASSE

Novelist, playwright and blogger Mark W. Sasse will visit Prendergast Library at 6 p.m. Friday, July 11, to present dramatic readings from his works, give away a copy of one of his books, and answer questions from the audience. Sasse and his wife, who is from Jamestown, have lived in both Jamestown and Lakewood. A native of Butler, PA, Sasse spent 10 years in Vietnam and now lives on the tropical island of Penang, Malaysia. This is his first trip back to Jamestown since publishing his first two novels, “Beauty Rising” in 2012, and “The Recluse Storyteller” in 2013. His latest novel, “The Reach of the Banyan Tree,” was just released July 1. He describes it as “a combination of contemporary love story and historical fiction, set against the exotic backdrop of 20th century Vietnam.” “I would love to introduce my works to Jamestown. I also teach drama, so I’d love to do some dramatic readings from my works,” he said. The author earned a bachelor’s degree in English and master’s degrees in humanities and teaching English as a second language. He is also an avid playwright who has written and produced 11 full-length theatrical productions. At the Short & Sweet Theatre Festival, one of his works was named Best Script last year, and another won the Audience Choice Award in 2012. Sasse’s Prendergast appearance is free and open to the public. Book copies will be available to purchase. The library is located at 509 Cherry St., Jamestown. For information, call 484-7135.

O’Brien’s Memory to Support Local History Article Contributed by Chautauqua Region Community Foundation

COURTESY PHOTO

A permanent fund to memorialize the late James C. O’Brien of Westfield will help historical societies pay for educational exhibits and programs about local history. The fund is being established with donations in O’Brien’s honor and is administered by the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation. O’Brien was president of the Chautauqua County Historical Society for 12 years and volunteer director of the society’s McClurg Museum. He died June 6. In endowing the fund after talking with O’Brien about his wishes, Cristie L. Herbst, a trustee of the county Historical Society, noted that O’Brien was passionate about the society’s mission to educate, especially the young. "We want to transmit the values and experiences of previous generations of Chautauquans to our children," O’Brien wrote. Herbst noted that as a highly skilled designer, O’Brien was an expert at creating exhibits to interpret county Historical Society archives and objects of local historical significance. “James wrote that Chautauqua County’s role in American history can’t be understated but it can be better explained,” Herbst said. “He designed the exhibits to help provide a deeper sense of place and a bridge through time, as he put it.” The James C. O’Brien and Cristie L. Herbst Fund for Local History will help local historical societies fulfill the educational mission that O’Brien so valued. Herbst, who shares O’Brien’s passion for local history, also noted that expertly designed exhibits help to promote awareness of collections and archives in local historical societies.

James C. O’Brien was the president of the Chautauqua County Historical Society and volunteer director of the society’s McClurg Museum. After his death, a fund in his memory was established at the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation to support local history. “James felt that awareness was a key to local historical societies gaining public support for the preservation and use of the collections,” she said. The Fund for Local History will give grants yearly to historical societies to help pay for educational exhibits, programs and projects. Contributions to the O’Brien-Herbst fund may be made online at crcfonline.org, or by mail to: Community Foundation, 418 Spring St., Jamestown, NY. Contributions are tax deductible.

Recognition of Jamestown’s Projects Pool Grant Best Gardens Set for July Program Benefits Library

COURTESY PHOTO

Over 60 volunteers will canvass Jamestown streets in July to distribute small garden signs to the city’s best gardens.

Article Contributed by Jamestown Renaissance Corp. Jamestown’s front yard gardens are in full bloom, filling neighborhoods with eye-catching colors. To acknowledge the value that these gardens and their caretakers add to the city, the Jamestown Renaissance Corporation (JRC) is continuing the GROW Jamestown Front Garden Recognition Program for a fourth straight year. Unlike the open nomination process used in the past, this year’s program will feature teams of volunteers canvassing every street in the city to identify gardens that are colorful, well-tended, and that set a high standard for their corner of the city. Every garden chosen by the volunteers will receive a complimentary GROW Jamestown garden sign. Canvassing will begin on July 7 and conclude by July 27. “Attractive gardens take time and effort, but they add tremendously to the appearance of homes and entire neighborhoods,” said Mary

Maxwell, Neighborhood Project Associate at the JRC, noting that the program stems from recommendations in the city’s neighborhood revitalization plan. “It’s a signal that people care about their homes and neighborhoods, and it sends a powerful message to neighbors and visitors,” she added. The program is a part of ‘GROW Jamestown,’ a city-wide initiative that promotes gardening as a tool for neighborhood revitalization, healthy living, civic engagement, and the productive reuse of vacant land. Other GROW Jamestown projects include community gardens and an annual Garden Fair in March. “This year’s program is possible because of over 60 volunteers who will scour the city to find great gardens. Their interest in devoting spare summer time to this project shows the level of enthusiasm that people have for gardening and celebrating Jamestown’s beauty,” said Maxwell. More information on GROW Jamestown and the garden recognition program can be found on the JRC Web site, at www.jamestownrenaissance.org.

Kevin Sanvidge, Chief Executive Officer of the County of Chautauqua Industrial Development Agency, will be the featured guest at the Meeting of the Minds Reception, on July 16. Board of Director’s for ECR International, Chairman of its Compensation Committee, and member of the Audit Committee. He is a former Chairman of the County Chamber of Commerce’s Board of Directors. This event is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served throughout the evening. Guests are encouraged to RSVP to the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation by Friday, July 11, by calling 661-3390, or emailing Sarah Marciniak at [email protected].

The Mayville/Chautauqua Community Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce that the Pittsburgh, PA blues band Mahajibee Blues will be the performers for our first Entertainment in the Park Summer Concert Series performance held on Thursday, July 10, 2014. Held at Lakeside Park along the shores of beautiful Chautauqua Lake in Mayville NY from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m., this concert features a five-piece band that will get audiences out of their seats with an original blend of rough and tough rhythm and blues music. They have been performing for 14 years and have four live albums and one studio release. The band continues to use its twin lead guitar attack to mix classic and contemporary blues styles in performances across the country. They are currently preparing for the 2014 release of another live album covering new original and cover material. Mahajibee band members are Patrick “Big Head” Tevis (vocals, harmonica and keys); Brent “Junior” McConnell (drums); “Big” Tim Ambrasso (bass); Tim Vitullo (vocals and guitar); and Earl “The Chief ” Schwalm (vocals and guitar). Maybe this quote from Dan “Elwood

Blues” Aykroyd (House of Blues Radio) says it best: “Mahajibee is a nonsense word. It’s a word you use when the word you want to use just isn’t coming to mind. It’s also the name of a no-nonsense blues band out of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvnia. They have been bringing their brand of hard working blues since 2000. Two lead guitars, my friends! Songs about love and money! What more do you want? Oh, they look real good in black.” Rainbow the Clown ( Jerry Stimson) will also be on hand to entertain the children with balloon sculptures and face painting. In case of rain, the performance will be held at the Carlson Community Center also located at Lakeside Park. These performances are brought to you free of charge through the generous support and sponsorship by the Village of Mayville and Town of Chautauqua. Remember to bring your own seating for the outside performances. A 50/50 drawing will also be held at each of the concerts this summer to benefit the Chamber and its work in the community, with the winner being announced before the end of the performance. Call the Mayville/Chautauqua Community Chamber of Commerce at (716) 753-3113 or go to our web site at www.mayvillechautauqua.org for more information on this annual concert series or the Mayville/Chautauqua area. Plan on coming to Lakeside Park in Mayville NY on July 10th for a very special performance in a beautiful location.

Article Contributed by The Reg Lenna Center for the Arts 3rd On 3rd Gallery at Reg Lenna Center For The Arts will present, "My Sweden", from photographer Randal Piersons beginning Friday July 11 with a public reception at 6 p.m. Randal Piersons, a photographer from Sweden, grew up in Jamestown and migrated to Sweden in 1972. He is returning to Jamestown for his Jamestown High School 50th Reunion and to show his photography for a dear hometown he has never forgotten. At the opening, he will share why he has made Sweden his home through exhibiting some of his photography for those who are interested in photography in general and curious about Sweden in particular. Randal feels it is a great personal pleasure to be able to share, as seen through his photographic eye, some of his wonderful personal experiences in the lovely charm and beauty of Sweden. The photographs in "My Sweden" are of mixed focus but are concentrated on the beauty, peace and tranquility that can be found throughout Sweden. These all-encompassing qualities and characteristics are something which Randal has come to deeply appreciate and incorporate into his photography. His photographic emphasis is to capture and enhance the sereneness and sense of well-being and beauty he finds all about him. And, thanks to a strong defense of historic

culture in Sweden there is an old fashioned patina that prevails throughout Sweden, a patina which has also become engrained in him and is another vital part of his photographic displays. Another of Randal’s engagements will be at the Scandinavian Festival July 18, 19 and 20 where he will concentrate on Swedish culture and have a display of photo booklets for sale along with a few photographs. At the Festival, he will hold a photographic lecture with the theme "Why I moved to Sweden and stayed there" on Saturday July 19th between 7 and 8 p.m. A Swedish language movie, "We Are The Best!" will show at Reg Lenna Center for the Arts on July 19 and 23 at 8 p.m. and July 20 at 2 p.m. The comedy follows the story of three teenaged Stockholm girls who start a punk rock band and defy the odds. All seats are $5. Randal Piersons may be reached at randal. [email protected] for press inquiries and other questions. 3rd On 3rd Gallery is located at Reg Lenna Center for the Arts at 116 East Third Street in Jamestown, New York. Admission is free. Public hours are Monday through Friday between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and at off-hours by private appointment. More information is available at www.reglenna.com or at 716-664-2465, ext. 227.

Sunsets on the Lake and live music on the summer air set Bemus Point apart from all the other vacation havens in Western New York. “It’s a unique community,” says Mayor Brian Dahlberg, “a walking community where everything is just a short stroll from everything else.” Scenic Streetscapes The Bemus Point Streetscape Project is returning the historic village to a pedestrian paradise of shop lined streets, fine dining, craft shops, gift shops and antique emporiums that attract thousands of visitors all summer long. “We won’t be surprised if we had 10,000 guests here on the 4th of July weekend alone this year,” Mayor Dahlberg said. “It’s a great tribute to our strong community, the 360 residents that make up the permanent population of Bemus Point.” The multi-year Streetscape project is based on a comprehensive planning board survey of local residents. “We’re looking 5, 10 and 20 years ahead,” Dahlberg said. The project has been recognized as an outstanding community development model by the New York State Association of Planners and the Planners of Western New York, and was awarded a New York State grant in support of the project. “For all of our work,” Dahlberg promises, “we use as many local

Centuries of Development The history of Bemus point stretches back more than 200 years. Bemus family descendants still live on the original family lakeshore property first settled by William Bemus in 1806. Bemus had purchased land on both sides of Chautauqua Lake for a mere $1.50 per acre. Today the famous Bemus Point Village Casino and Stow Ferry landing stand no more than 300 yards south of the original Bemus family log cabin site. The hospitality industry and tradition has also grown throughout Bemus Point’s history. The iconic Hotel Lenhart is now more than 130 years old and has been joined by other lodgings well suited to the summer tourist season. Music in the Air The Bemus Bay Pops 2014 Concert Series, in collaboration with the free Concert of Fireworks on special evenings from July 4 through August 31, and the summerlong Chautauqua Lake Voices competition will fill the night sky with music and with spectacular lights across the water. These events and The Village Casino’s live musicians and bands, make Bemus Point the musical capital of Western New York all summer, every summer. For family entertainment, Dahlberg reminds visitors, Bemus Point also offers a swim

so you may be able to relay it to eligible individuals you either work with or serve. Did you know that according to the 2010 Census Report there are 40,353 individuals living in Chautauqua County aged 55 years and older? This fact guides Aging Services Network to come together and prepare as professionals working with this special population. Our purpose is to share knowledge, resources, and best practices so we may better serve our clients, friends, residents, volunteers, or neighbors. Aging Services Network (ASN) is an informal gathering of professionals serving the senior population within Chautauqua County. There is not a membership fee and meetings are held quarterly. The luncheon meeting locations are changeable, meeting at different agencies to accommodate everyone countywide and encourage attendees. The meetings may be held at senior centers, churches, senior living complexes, or agencies serving seniors. Meetings are for any individual interested in our topics and everyone is welcome to attend. Every meeting hosts a speaker sharing their wisdom and experience about a relevant, specific, senior topic. The instruction is followed by door prizes, plus time dedicated to agency sharing. Everyone tells of their own agency’s special event or share information about opportunities beneficial to seniors. All correspondence concerning meeting times and schedules are all handled via e-mail.

Paul Benware, Heritage volunteer, assists Heritage Green Rehab & Skilled Nursing residents build a wooden nesting box for ducks this spring.

Article Contributed by Heritage Ministries This spring, Heritage Ministries saw ducks hatching all over its properties in Chautauqua County. In response to the annual visitors, Paul Benware, an area volunteer, led a group of Heritage Green Rehab & Skilled Nursing residents in the construction of a wooden nesting box for ducks.

The name of the group that Mr. Benware leads is the Heritage Green Gophers. The men’s group meets every Friday morning at Heritage Green Rehabilitation and Skilled Nursing. Upon completion, the men’s group donated the nesting box to Ellery Town Park. The town park will place the box near the pond toward the back of the park. The feathered friends of Heritage Green will enjoy their safe nesting space right in the sight of the Heritage Green residents who helped to build it. Volunteers mean so much to the success of activities for our residents. Heritage Ministries

FAITH MATTERS with PASTOR SHAWN HANNON

Your Ministry?

Contributing Writer Pastor Shawn Hannon

Hope Lutheran Church, Arcade, NY

A

representative from the Lutheran Theological Seminary in Philadelphia’s admissions office recently told me that the average congregation sends an individual to seminary to be a pastor every 43 years. That’s right: 1 pastor every 43 years. Now compare that to Hope where four individuals in the last six years have identified a call to be a pastor. And that, by the way, doesn’t even include our newest congregational deacon who will officially start the candidacy process this month. It’s official: Hope is a place that nurtures individuals in their discernment of God’s call to public ministry. That’s the fancy church way of saying: Hope helps people hear a call to be a pastor. And thanks be to God for that. But I like to think we are about more than that. You see, God calling pastors is important. Really important. But so is God calling teachers… and nurses… and electricians… and you name it. You see, the same Spirit that calls out pastors to lead the church is calling farmers to grow food and chefs to cook it. The same Spirit that calls preachers to share God’s word is calling therapists to help hurting people and doctors to heal. And I have to believe that. I have to believe that because the alternative means that God cares who gives my daughter

communion, but God isn’t really worried about who is going to teach her to read. That’s crazy right?! God does not just call pastors. God calls all of us. And Hope isn’t just here to help pastors find their place in the church. Hope is here to help you find your place in the world. So stop. Stop what you are doing right now (okay, keep reading, but stop everything else), and answer these questions. 1. What are you really good at? 2. What do you really like to do? 3. If everything in your life was provided for, would you work your job for free? 4. And what does the world need? 1 Corinthians 12 reads, “Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of services, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but the same God who activates all of them in everyone. To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.” (12:4-7, emphasis mine). God does not simply call, equip, and strengthen pastors for work. God calls, equips, and strengthens each of us to specific activities for the common good. God is calling you to ministry, and that ministry probably won’t include eating 3 deserts with a dozen quilters like I did this afternoon or preaching a funeral like my day tomorrow. But God is calling you to ministry. God has a special plan for your life. Take the time to ask what gifts you have and what activities the Spirit is calling you to today. The common good is on the line. For more inspiration and insights from Pastor Scott’s past columns, please visit www. jamestowngazette.com and click on the Faith Matters page.

Tom Holt Appointed to State Council on Health Article Contributed by Lutheran Tom Holt, president and CEO of Lutheran, was nominated by Governor Andrew Cuomo and was appointed by the State Senate to the Public Health and Health Planning Council. The council is the leader in policy change for New York State. Members have a broad array of advisory and decision-making responsibilities with respect to New York State’s public health and health care delivery system. “Tom’s comprehensive knowledge of long term care, services to children and persons with developmental disabilities, and the health care system in general makes him an excellent representative of Upstate/Western New York and the Southern Tier in particular,” said Clark Poppleton, Chair of the Lutheran Board. “We are very appreciative of the support provided by Senator Cathy Young for him in this lengthy and complex process.” The council makes recommendations to the Commissioner of Health concerning major construction projects, service changes, and equipment acquisition in health care facilities and home care agencies. Members advise the Commissioner on issues related to the preservation and improvement of public health. “We know that Tom will be an active participant on the Council and that we will be well served by him,” Poppleton said. “His participation keeps us on the leading edge of new trends and informs our planning process.” A native of Jamestown, Holt has over 25 years of experience in the skilled nursing, long term

TOM HOLT President and CEO, Lutheran Jamestown care and senior housing field. “There is a sea of change ahead of us in healthcare,” Holt adds. “Participation in a state wide initiative like this committee, assures that our real time perspective from the field is considered when important policies are being implemented.” Under Holt’s leadership, Lutheran was successful in receiving over $23 million in state and federal funding to right size senior care in the region. He is active with LeadingAge NY and served as Chair for the statewide board of directors. Mr. Holt received the young long-term care Administrator of the Year award in 2000 from LeadingAge NY. He has also been honored with the Business First 40 under 40 Award.

The Hands That Feed You E IN EE H W FF TTHH ! O

I’m glad food handlers wear gloves. They keep their hands and manicured nails nice and clean that way. But how about my food? I watched my sandwich being made by carefully gloved hands that also picked up a pot off the floor, counted coins and bills at the cash register, grabbed greasy cabinet and door handles and then the lettuce, juicy tomatoes and bacon for my lunch. But the hands inside those gloves stayed perfectly clean, right? I went someplace else for lunch.

The Lawson Center Raffles Original Art COURTESY PHOTO

COURTESY PHOTO

Outgoing Jamestown Noon Rotary Club President Sharon Hamilton (right) recognizes Dudley Ericson for his efforts with the Rotary membership and Foundation committees for 2013-14 in Rotary.

Article Contributed by The Lawson Center The Lawson Center, in Bemus Point, has been given a beautiful water-color painting of the “Jamestown” steamboat, which can be won by some lucky person who enters their fund-raising raffle. By far the largest and most famous steamboat on Chautauqua Lake was the three-deck , sternwheeler Jamestown. Built in 1875 as the Nettie Fox, a two-deck boat, she was rebuilt with a fourth deck 19 1878 and renamed the Jamestown. A distinctly river type of steamer, she was said to have a capacity of 3,000 people. The first deck contained a restaurant and the grand staircase; the second deck had two staterooms, cabins for ladies, a ticket office, and a refreshment stand. The new third deck was entirely clear for dancing. Because of her great size, the Jamestown burned a lot of coal, had a large crew, was hard to maneuver at the docks, and difficult to steer through the Outlet. Nevertheless, she could handle large crowds and served as a picnic and excursion boat until she burned at the Jamestown dock in October 1892. The artist, Lisa Daniels of Dallas Texas, professionally paints portraits of classic cars and

wooden boats. Lisa works in both watercolor and acrylic; however she is also well known for her many projects in pencil, pen, and stained glass. Her works can be found in galleries, restaurants, auto dealerships, and private collections, as well as the Rolls-Royce Owners Club Headquarters in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. She became fascinated by the efforts of The Lawson Center to preserve and display boating memorabilia and was particularly taken with the unique steamboat fleet that operated on Chautauqua Lake. Asked about this fund-raiser, Dave Bargar, Trustee of The Lawson Center, commented that “a TLC patron commissioned the painting from Ms. Daniels and donated it to The Lawson Center specifically for the raffle. The original painting is on display at the Center. We also have a supply of small and large signed and numbered prints of the painting that are available for sale at the Lawson Center Museum Shop.” People interested in seeing the painting or buying raffle tickets can do so at The Lawson Center, 73 Lakeside Dr., Bemus Point. The museum is open to the public on Wednesdays, 1:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m., Saturdays, 10:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m., and Sundays 12:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. The drawing for the winner will take place on LaborDay.

Horrigan Announces Shared Services Forum Forum to Discuss Shared Services Initiatives and Governor Cuomo’s Property Tax Freeze Proposal Article Contributed by Chautauqua County Office of the County Executive Chautauqua County Executive Vince Horrigan will be holding an informational forum to discuss the impact of shared services among municipalities as it relates to Governor Andrew Cuomo’s property tax freeze proposal, which became a part of the State budget passed in April. The Shared Services Forum will be held on July 16, 2014 from 1 to 4 p.m. in Room B10 of the Gerace Office Building, 3 North Erie St. in Mayville. A portion of the State’s budget proposal provides rebate checks to STAR eligible properties for municipalities that stay within the 2 percent property tax cap in the first year along with other conditions to be met in future years. “As I review the Governor’s proposal and the impact on property taxpayers, I believe there are many questions that need to be answered to understand this initiative,” said Horrigan. “I would

encourage all elected municipal leaders and school officials to join me to become more familiar with the Governor’s proposal and to find out what we can do collectively for the benefit t of our residents and taxpayers.” Horrigan has invited local municipal leaders and school officials to attend the Shared Services Forum and has also invited officials from New York State to help answer any questions regarding the Governor’s proposal. “I encourage all leaders who attend the meeting to share what services they provide so we can find ways to work together as a whole community to continue to provide the services our residents expect while lowering the costs of those services,” said Horrigan. “I am hopeful that this first forum will lead the way for additional shared services meetings to discuss collaboration and cooperation throughout the county.” The forum will not be open to the general public. Elected municipal leaders and school officials who haven’t already reserved a spot at the forum are encouraged to contact the County Executive’s Office at (716) 753-4211.

CCHS to Hold Pets 4 Vets Adoption Special

COURTESY PHOTO

Article Contributed by Chautauqua County Humane Society Beginning today, active and retired military personnel can visit the Chautauqua County Humane Society to take advantage of fee-waived adoptions during their Pets 4 Vets adoption special. Studies have shown that rescuing an animal or participating in volunteer dog walking at a shelter can provide stress reducing benefits. The Pets 4 Vets adoption special runs through July 12 with normal shelter business hours in effect. CCHS will be closed on July 4. “Animals are brought into military hospitals more and more each day as a tool to help service men and women cope with rehabilitation. We are taking this program one step further,” said Sue Bobek, humane outreach coordinator for CCHS. “Not only does pet adoption offer a sense of companionship and elements of therapy for the human, it also gives a homeless animal a family and a second chance. What better way to touch two lives at once?” said Bobek.

When military personnel struggle with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or other challenges, adopting an animal can provide a stress reducing quality that has been proven repeatedly. Some nonprofits even work with military organizations to transport animals overseas to help current soldiers cope with their environment. If adoption isn’t an option, CCHS is also seeking motivated dog walkers and cat socializers. Volunteer dog walking combines a structured schedule and physical exercise whereas cat socializing is a calm, tranquil activity. Both options exist for military personnel who want to get involved at a lower commitment level. For more information on the Chautauqua County Humane Society or to see a list of animals currently up for adoption, visit www.spcapets.com or call 716-665-2209 ext. 0. The mission of the Chautauqua County Humane Society is to promote the adoption of animals, prevent all forms of animal cruelty and neglect, shelter lost, abandoned and homeless animals, and to provide education about the humane treatment of animals.

Jamestown Native & Local Entrepreneur Bring Small Batch Tequila to the US & Chautauqua County

MARTZ OBSERVATORY

Article Contributed by Shults Management Group Trianon Tequila (pronounced TREE-AHKNOWN) is a handcrafted, small batch tequila from the small town of Amatitán, in the Mexican state of Jalisco. Trianon is 100% Blue Weber Agave and is produced exclusively by a family of third-generation Maestros Tequileros (Master Distillers). Trianon Tequila came to the United States market by way of GDL Imports, a small importing company co-founded by Jamestownnative Mackenzie Shults and her business partner, and now fiancé, Eduardo Ismael Gomez. Shults, daughter of local businessman and entrepreneur, Tim Shults, brings her background in operations and organizational behavior, while Gomez brings over a decade of experience in the restaurant, wine, and spirits industry. Teaming up with Shults’ father and former spirits executives, they acquired the trademark for the United States in 2012 and have since secured distribution for the new brand in Tennessee, Georgia, Michigan, Illinois, Florida, and most recently New York. Trianon Tequila focuses on consumer education, teaching people about tequila as a premium spirit. Gomez says, “Most people in the United States associate tequila with a negative drinking experience. The truth is that good, premium tequilas are in the same class of spirits as your favorite bourbon or cognac. Trianon

The Observatory Goes to School

S

pace is the 21st Century’s newest and hottest frontier for business, industry, travel and soon, even tourism. Space is leading the coming revolution in education and employment. Schools are gearing up for this new demand with a new curriculum called STEM, Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. As a result, astronomy is becoming one of the most demanded courses in schools across the country. Astronomy teaches every critical building block in a complete STEM curriculum. Space is no longer science fiction. It is the fascinating and exciting fabric of 20th Century life and the door to the future for every American student. Enter, The Martz Astronomical Observatory in Frewsburg. It is no longer the “Best Kept Secret in Chautauqua County”. It is rapidly becoming one of the premier centers for Astronomy and STEM education in the Northeast of the United States. Invitation The Martz Observatory is inviting local residents, especially parents and grandparents of students in any of Chautauqua County’s school systems, to partner with them in making the Observatory into a permanent addition – classrooms, laboratory and science mentor – for every school in the county. How to join? With the recent receipt of a major grant and the gift of Dr. Ron

Kohl’s personal Observatory added to Martz’s array of telescopes, building will soon begin on a new wing and control room dedicated to STEM education. Martz can put all of this to use with just a little more help. Martz’s ongoing capital campaign is now addressing its next challenge: funds to simply pour the concrete foundation for the newly funded addition, ready to expanded into full scale operation. These funds are urgently needed in the summer of 2014 to complete construction before winter. Spaceport Chautauqua Teachers are now being trained at Martz to work with students in any classroom with a computer who can log onto the Observatory’s remote computers, program independent projects and even original research, as if the whole facility was right in their own school. Tests have now been completed – the system is operational – for students to receive the breathtaking images and data from deep space in their own classrooms the next morning. This portion of the campaign will kick off in mid-July, watch for the many ways residents can contribute to and partner with this exciting new addition to our students’ future in space.

Relieve Computer The glasses you use for driving or the ones you use for reading books often have the wrong focal point for computer or tablet use or are ill-suited for computer use. Having a routine comprehensive eye exam is the most important thing you can do to prevent or treat computer vision problems. Computer users should have an eye exam once a year. During your exam, be sure to tell your eye doctor how often you use a computer at work and at home. Measure how far your eyes are from your screen when you sit at your computer, and bring this measurement to your exam so your eye doctor can test your eyes at that specific working distance.

DEALER SHOWCASE The Eatery Article by Katrina Fuller

Bright sunlight beams through the large windows, illuminating the dining room and casting a cheerful glow. Patrons eagerly enjoy the bountiful meals laid before them, from breakfast platters to lunch plates, and of course, the fabulous Friday fish fry. Homemade pies, delectable donuts, and more await the customers, as the friendly staff provides attentiveness and sincerity only found at nostalgic diners such as these. The Eatery has opened once more, providing a wide range of hearty meals, impeccable service, and a feel good atmosphere. “I was in Florida, and my brother called me up and said ‘There’s this really good spot’,” Deb Paddock, co-owner of The Eatery explains. Alongside her brother, Bill Brockway, the two decided to reopen their popular restaurant just down the road from its old location. “The restaurant was empty - we worked day and night!” From redoing menus to putting in walls, the siblings worked tirelessly to open their business, completing the task in sixteen days. With a streamlined kitchen system, over 40 years of experience, and tried and true methods, Bill and Deb are excited to welcome the public back to sample the fare. “Before, we opened a restaurant in Lakewood called Hungry Hannah’s,” Bill says. Hungry Hannah’s was doing well, however parking became an issue. With a great demand for business, and little parking, the duo sold Hungry Hannah’s and took a break from the restaurant world. After a well needed rest from the kitchen, the two are at it again, with many of the same staff members from their Hungry Hannah days. “Looks can be deceiving,” Deb says with a smile. The Fluvanna Avenue location looks small from outside, but a step through the front door proves otherwise. With the capacity to seat up to seventy people, the restaurant has enough room for large parties, families and more. The restaurant also prides itself on being speedy and clean,

and keeping customers happy with genuine service. “We are really organized,” Bill explains. “We want fast, friendly, clean service - no one even waits for a second!” With the proper kitchen planned to perfection, customers receive their dishes in a timely fashion - no long waits, or cold food. “When we find things that work, we keep it.” From breakfast fare to sandwiches and Friday night Fish Fry, The Eatery has it all. “My mother, who is 90 years old, still makes our cream pies,” Deb says with a smile. The Eatery is proud to use the same brands for every order. “Everything is the same – we don’t switch our brands to save a dollar,” Bill says. “People know what they are getting.” From eggs and pancakes to fresh baked pies, customers are sure to be satisfied with every visit. The Eatery is located at 180 Fluvanna Avenue in
