Attracting the Brightest and Best
for GREATer Jamestown Jobs
Editor
Walter Pickut
“We are recruiting as many talented young professionals as we
can and connecting them with local companies to boost the
greater Jamestown economy,” said Jamestown Savings Bank’s
Megan Volpe, chair of the newly formed GREATer Jamestown
Jobs Action Committee.
This ambitious new program is built around a nationwide
Internet and social media campaign designed to attract a
target audience of 25 to 39-year-olds with college degrees,
trade schooling or trade skills to Chautauqua County. “We are
posting professional positions for any local businesses that tell
us about an opening they need to fill,” Volpe explained. “And
when candidates have questions about the quality of life and
opportunities for growth in Chautauqua County, we’ll tell
them all about it.”
The City of Jamestown Strategic Planning and Partnerships
Commission is focused on bringing young professionals to
Chautauqua County. To accomplish this, the Commission
assembled a team of about a dozen successful young
professionals from all around the County, the GREATer
Jamestown Jobs Action Committee. “Local economies don’t
start or stop at any town line,” Volpe said, “so by GREATer
Jamestown we really mean all of us in Chautauqua County.”
Young professionals, speak to the Jamestown Rotary Club.

here to change that, to attract more people to the area and
to rebuild and revitalize our

“We want to serve as an outlet for companies to find qualified
individuals, and vice a versa,” Volpe explained. “Often, we
hear that young professionals cannot find gainful employment

Roller Derby At A Rink Not So Far Away
Article Contributed by
Jamestown Gazette Staff
“It’s a great sport! Everybody skates offense and defense…at the same
time,” said Frank Besse, Events Committee Chair for Chautauqua
County Roller Derby. “The game is often compared to hockey, but I’ve
heard it called a “60-minute car accident” too; it’s all high speed and fast
action on wheels.”
The Babes of Wrath, Chautauqua County Roller Derby’s hard skating
team, open their 2013 season with a high-intensity home matchup
slated for May 4, 2013 against the Niagara Roller Girls. Doors open at
6:00pm at the Allen Park Ice Rink

Enthusiasm: An Antidote for Aging
It’s an old, old story… You can’t get a good
job without experience and you can’t get
experience without a good job. Just about
everybody looking for their first job runs into
that old pothole.
The trouble is, life can hand us a lot of
experiences that just don’t match any jobs.
Mark Twain said, “A man who carries a cat by
the tail learns something he can learn in no
other way.”
But one way or another just about everybody
gets that first job and then gains experience
by making a few mistakes along with a few
successes.
Employers have a similar problem; is it better
to hire somebody young and inexperienced and
help them learn or to hire somebody older and
experienced, but who might be an old dog that
doesn’t want to learn any new tricks?
Here’s a vote for hiring unseasoned youngsters;
thy might not know every trick in the book,
but they usually have a bottomless well of
enthusiasm. Earl Nightingale, an American
motivational speaker and author, once said,
“Creativity is a natural extension of our
enthusiasm.”
This week The Jamestown Gazette introduces
you to a new team in town, a lineup of
successful, young professionals who are
creating a nationwide social network to attract
and bring into the region’s business community,
smart, young and enthusiastic new workers
to build the local economy. They are the
GREATer Jamestown Jobs Action Committee.
When Steve Jobs was a young man, he was once
heard to say, “I just want to put a ding in the
universe.” He certainly did. Arthur Balfour, one
time, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom
understood the value of people like Steve Jobs,
Bill Gates and others like them when he said,
“Enthusiasm moves the world.” The GREATer
Jamestown Jobs Action Committee is searching
the world to bring those people here.
So what does that do for those of us who are
no longer in the “Youth Brigade?” The answer
couldn’t be simpler. No one needs to become
younger, especially since we can’t do that
anyway. But since we are in the generation
that remembers Gen. Douglas MacArthur, we
should recall his words: “Years may wrinkle the
skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the
soul.”

Whatever your age, try something different
tomorrow morning when you wake up. Say to
your sheets and blankets, “Get off me. If you
don’t want to get hurt, get out of my way. I’m
getting up!” Take that enthusiasm to work with
you and remember what Vince Lombardi said;
“If you are not fired with enthusiasm, you will
be fired with enthusiasm.”

I was never a morning person when I
was younger but as I have grown up,
I have come to appreciate the early
morning quiet. The chirp of birds,
the smell of coffee brewing, the rising
sun in a blue sky…now that is the
way to start a day! Just me, my big
cup of coffee and my morning paper.
Ahhhh…..
Now, as much as I have come to enjoy
the rare peaceful morning off, I still
do not like breakfast (sorry, honey!).
That big, steaming cup of coffee is
all I want. I still want to wait an hour
or two before thinking about eating.
Not so for my husband. He is usually
talking about what he can make for
breakfast before he’s even out of bed!
Talk about differences in opinion (or
maybe opposites attracting!).
Now brunch is a whole other story.
I love brunch! Breakfast and lunch
together ~at a far more civilized hour~
what a fabulous concept! Brunch
offers us the very best of all worlds;
sweet and eggy breakfast casseroles,
luscious breads and muffins, savory
lunch dishes, great vegetables and
fresh fruit. And let us not forget
mimosas and bloody Mary’s. The
choices and possibilities are endless!
When planning a brunch, I always try
to offer not only a well rounded, but
eye appealing and tasty menu. I first
look at my guest list. If I am serving
a group of ladies, my menu will be
different (using lighter or perhaps
more unusual ingredients) than if I
were serving a mixed group of men
and women. Women tend to be more
open to variety and unusual dishes,
where men tend to prefer straight
forward meat and potatoes (nothing
fancy or “girly”).
My second step is actually planning
the menu. I want to be sure to offer
both breakfast and lunch items, some
sweet, some savory, both hot and cold
and always fresh and appetizing. I
like to plan at least two main entrees,
one breakfast and one lunch, and
then add 4-6 side dishes (such as
April 29, 2013
fruit or vegetable salads, or perhaps a
casserole) to compliment my entrées.
To complete the menu, I will add
an assortment of breads, muffins,
sweet rolls and the like. My beverage
station will always offer coffee (both
regular and decaf, as not everyone
likes caffeine in the morning like I do)
tea and juices, and when appropriate,
the necessary bar stock to make those
mimosas and bloody Mary’s!
My favorite part of planning a brunch
is the fact that much of the preparation
can be done the day before! That way,
all I will have left to do is the final
cooking or baking. Most casseroles,
including breakfast strata and French
toast, are best when they have rested
all night, giving the flavors a chance
to mingle and the moisture time to
be well distributed! Similarly, many
savory dishes can be prepared for last
minute assembly and cooking. I get
the coffee pot set up, ready to turn
on, and I set the table (or at least have
everything pulled out and ready). I
want to enjoy my brunch along with
my guests, not be a slave to my kitchen
while the others are having fun!

TRADITION WITH A TWIST
Shoppers browse items for sale at the 2012 Prendergast Library book sale. For the first
time this year, the annual event will be held off-site.
Planning Begins For
Prendergast Book Sale
James Prendergast Library
Prendergast Library will hold its 34th
annual book sale Friday, June 7, and
Saturday, June 8, at the Jamestown
Renaissance Center and is looking for
volunteers and donations to help make
the event a success.
“Having the book sale at another
location will allow us to keep the library
open Thursday evening, Friday, Saturday
and Sunday for regular patron use,”
according to Board President Tom Price.
Price also praised the opportunity to
partner with the Jamestown Renaissance
Center.
“It’s a great space, and there’s the added
benefit of being right next door to the
Farmers’ Market. It will also allow the

At Audubon, Learn About Birding Merritt Winery Offers Private
and Conservation in Ecuador
Wine Tasting For Mother’s Day
Audubon Center & Sanctuary
You don’t have to go far from home to
learn about the recent growth of birding
and conservation in faraway Ecuador. You
just have to go to the Audubon Center
& Sanctuary’s next First Friday Lunch
Bunch.
At the 11 a.m. event on Friday, May 3,
tropical natural history researcher and
tour leader Rudy Gelis will share photos
and stories about Christmas Bird Counts,
private- and community-owned protected
areas, and a bird nest monitoring project
in this South American country.
A combination of excellent photos and
brief videos, this presentation is based on
over a decade of Gelis’s living and working
in Ecuador.
In the past decade, infrastructure
improvements have made Ecuador more
accessible for ecotourism than ever before.
In addition, numerous Ecuadorians are
now feeding birds and making great
birding trails and gardens. Gelis’s talk will
explore the firm link between birding,
tourism, and local efforts in conservation
and environmental education.
Rudy Gelis is a graduate of Berea College
and owner of Pluma Verde Tours. He
began his career in ornithology in 1997
when he was awarded a Thomas J.
Watson Fellowship, providing a year of
independent, purposeful exploration and
travel to college graduates of “unusual

LEADERS Program Offers
Local Help for Autism
The Achievement Center
As Autism Awareness Month 2013 draws
to a close, it is important to note that the
incidence of Autism Spectrum Disorders
(ASD) continues to march on. Last
month, the Center for Disease Control
(CDC) released a new report suggesting
that the prevalence of ASD has jumped to
an alarming 1 in 50 births.
While the specific figures cited in such
studies may be debatable, most autism
experts agree that ASD is on the rise. We
in the LEADERS Autism Program of
the Achievement Center are seeing more
children diagnosed with ASD every day.
In fact, our caseloads have more than
doubled in the past five years.
Much of this may be due to our ability to
more accurately diagnose ASD. In years
past, autism was diagnosed primarily by
checklists and questionnaires completed
by parents or caregivers. These methods,
being based on the subjective opinion of
the person completing the questionnaire,
are often less than reliable.
Since 2008, the LEADERS Program
has included the Autism Diagnostic
Observations Schedules (ADOS) as
part of their comprehensive assessment
protocol. Rather than relying on
subjective methods, the ADOS
involves exposing the child to a series of
structured activities that are designed
to bring out specific communication
and social behaviors. The results of the
ADOS are therefore based on objective
data and tend to be more reliable.
Once diagnosed, children with ASD
require treatment so that they may reach
their fullest potential. Over the past 20
years, one treatment method has come to
Jamestown Gazette
the forefront, Early Intensive Behavioral
Intervention (EIBI). EIBI is the method
that research has shown to have the most
promise in teaching social language skills
and in diminishing problematic behavior
in children with ASD. As its name
suggests, EIBI begins early in a child’s
development – often before the child’s
third birthday. Secondly, EIBI involves
intensive intervention – 20 to 40 hours
per week of treatment. And lastly, EIBI
is behavioral. EIBI’s methods come from
the field of Applied Behavior Analysis
(ABA) which is concerned primarily
with analyzing behavior/environment
relationships, designing interventions
based on those relations, and determining
the effectiveness of those interventions
via objective data.
The prevalence of ASD in Chautauqua
County is equivalent to that found
across the country. Until recently
though, there have been few diagnostic
centers and even fewer experienced
practitioners of EIBI in the county.
Many families have been forced to seek
diagnostic evaluations and/or treatment
for their children from distant locations
such as Buffalo or Rochester. These
often involve extensive travel and being
placed on a waiting list. The LEADERS
Program of the Achievement Center
is committed to ABA and currently
employs nine Board Certified Behavior
Analysts and several evaluators trained
in the ADOS. While based in Erie,
Pennsylvania, LEADERS extends both its
diagnostic and therapy services well into
Chautauqua County. As such, LEADERS
offers a high-quality alternative to families
of children seeking evaluations or therapy
that does not require excessive travel or
scheduling delays. For more information,

Receives Student
Donation
Chautauqua Region Community Foundation
Life isn’t always fun and games but for elementary
school students, it can certainly seem that way!
Since 2011, the Parent and Teachers Association
along with the families and staff of C.C. Ring School
in Jamestown have been busy raising funds to create a
play space for younger students. The school’s current
play area has become overcrowded by the nearly 500
students in grades Pre-K through 4. Also, a majority of
that play equipment is not suitable for children under
the age of 5, which prohibits the Pre-K students from
utilizing it.
A variety of fundraisers, such as a Walk for Roadrunner
Pride and a Charity Auction have contributed to the
estimated $75,000 project. Student contributions have
also aided in the cost of the project.
Ben, Nate and Zach Cornell, students at Ring School,
were able to raise more than $600 this past fall for the
project by asking friends and neighbors to donate.
The CC Ring Primary Project Committee established
a pass through fund at the Chautauqua Region
Community Foundation to collect charitable donations
for expenses related to the project. Tax-deductible
donations may be made to the C.C. Ring Primary
Playground Fund and mailed to the Foundation’s office
at 418 Spring Street, Jamestown.

fundraising events, visit www.jamestownpublicschools.

the planting of seedlings to celebrate
Arbor Day.
A portion of the park cleanup was in
conjunction with the Chautauqua
County Chamber’s efforts for Hands

JBC Instructor, Kathy Reisenweber,
who coordinated some activities
for the week, said that the students
responded well to the planned
activities. “We immediately got buy-in
from the students, and they really
helped to drive the participation in
these activities.”

Outstanding
Volunteers for 2012
Walt Pickut
“You do make a difference,” said
Betsy Wright, CEO of WCA hospital
in Jamestown, New York, speaking
at the April 25 Annual Recognition
and Awards Luncheon for 2013. She
was acknowledging the enormous
contribution made to WCA and the
citizens of the greater Jamestown
region by 177 volunteers who
contributed more than 20,000 hours
of selfless service last year alone.
“While none of us may discover a
cure for cancer next year,” Wright said,
“when one of our volunteers holds
a cancer patient’s hand or helps an
injured child into a wheelchair, he or
she may truly be making someone’s
life much better and much brighter
that day.”
Steve Frankson, owner of Peterson’s Candies, will discuss the chocolate making
business and share samples during a program at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, May 9, at
Prendergast Library. The pre-Mother’s Day program is free and open to the public, and
all ages are welcome to attend. The library is located at 509 Cherry St., Jamestown. For
information, call 484-7135.
Of special note at this annual
luncheon were volunteers who
have served the patients, staff and
physicians of the hospital over
remarkably long periods of time.
Brenda Ireland, chair of the WCA
Hospital Board of Directors, said,
“Please note that your tireless efforts
are greatly acknowledged and
appreciated, and your kindness and
compassion truly make a difference in
the overall patient experience.”
“Sometimes our volunteers brave
the wildest weather just to get here,”
Ireland noted. “Some travel from far
away in terrible snowstorms when
folks who live a few blocks from the
hospital wouldn’t even dare open their
front doors.”
Ireland, joined by past WCA Board
Chair, Judith Burgett, and WCA
Hospital Auxiliary treasurer, Mary
Jamestown Gazette
Phaneuf, acknowledged all of the
volunteers. Specially congratulated
for most ours in 2012 was Robert
Gray, for his contribution of 882
hours in 2012. Since beginning as
a volunteer Gray has logged more
than 7900 hours as a volunteer.
Robert Scott contributed 780 hours,
increasing his total service to 7100
hours and Barney Edson’s 666 hours
last year topped off his lifetime total
at 12,800. Gray and Scott’s work was
primarily with patients and staff of the
Radiology Department while Edson
served throughout the hospital.
The annual “Five-Star Award”
is usually given to a volunteer
nominated for his or her especially
meritorious service. This year,
however, the nominating votes were
split evenly between two popular
gentlemen, Robert Scott and Robert
Gray, nicknamed “The Dynamic
Duo” by the staff and physicians of
the Radiology Department where
they usually serve. Between them,
their service totals 14,500 hours since
starting their volunteer service many
years ago.
In addition to acknowledging all of
the volunteers for their outstanding
contributions, Betsy Wright also
introduced one of the hospital’s
newest physicians, Dr. Grijalva,
M.D., F.A.C.S., a past U.S. Air Force
surgeon who is bilingual in English
and Spanish, with special interests
in single incision laparoscopic and
bariatric surgery. Dr. Grijalva now

with his wife and children and says
that they have made this area home
because they very much enjoy both
the area and the people who live here.

Facebook (and other social networking)
for Baby Boomers
According to the online dictionary Wikipedia, social
networking focuses on building online communities
of people who share interests and/or activities, or who
are interested in exploring the interests and activities
of others. Most social network services are web based
and provide a variety of ways for users to interact, such
as e-mail and instant messaging services. One prime
example is Facebook.
Founded in 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg, a Harvard
student, Facebook is the fastest growing social network
on the web. And, believe it or not, one of the fastest
growing demographic segments for Facebook, and
other social networking sites for that matter, are people
who are 50 years of age or older. According to an AARP
(American Association of Retired Persons) survey of
1,400 senior adults, more than a quarter (27 percent)
of Americans age 50 and older use social networks.
Facebook is by far the most popular. In fact, 23 percent
of all survey respondents said they preferred creating
a profile on Facebook to other sites such as MySpace,
LinkedIn, and Twitter.
Facebook Trends for Baby Boomers
When it comes to generalized Internet use, 49 percent
of the AARP respondents between the ages of 50
and 64 and 40 percent of all adults age 50 and older
said they consider themselves very comfortable using
the Internet. As for the increased usage among baby
boomers on Facebook, however, it seems young people
are to blame for spreading word of the Facebook
phenomenon to the boomer generation. Around 47
percent of AARP’s respondents had heard of social
networking from a family member other than their
spouse, and of those, 70 percent were informed by a
child or grandchild.
According to the AARP survey, the overwhelming
majority of these baby boomers are using social
networking such as Facebook to keep in touch with
family members and friends. Almost three quarters of
AARP’s survey group said they’re connected online
to relatives other than children and grandchildren, 62
percent are connected to their children and 36 percent
are connected to grandchildren as well.
According to survey data, 2009 was the year that social
media finally hit the mainstream for baby boomers, with
nearly 47 percent of them actively maintaining a profile

The overall number of users between 18 and 24 years
of age grew only 4.8 percent between January and July
of 2009. In comparison, the number of users aged 25 to
34 has grown 60.8 percent; the number of users aged
35 to 54 has grown 190.2 percent, while the number of
users older than 55 years has grown an astounding 513.7
percent.
Facebook is not just for young 20-somethings anymore.
Most of the users on the social networking site belong to
the 35 to 54 age group. Compare that to the age group
that was once Facebook’s main demographic, the 18 to
24 group, which is now in third place with 18 million
(25.1 percent) users, behind the 25 to 34 year old group,
which makes for 25.2 percent of Facebook’s user base.
The number of Facebook users aged 55 and over has
grown from a total of 950,000 to 5.9 million in only six
months. A startling statistic!
Benefits of Facebook
Setting up a Facebook or other social networking profile
offers many benefits for older adults. Social networking
sites such as Facebook can help baby boomers:
• Connect with their peers all over the world
• Connect with family, friends, and classmates
• Expand their horizons and allow them to learn what
others are doing around the globe
• Improve mental acuity and psychological capacity
• Share information about their own family
• Achieve a bigger voice than they might be able to
achieve elsewhere

sites for baby boomers. This list is not inclusive, but

Bachelor degree students in
Jamestown Business College’s
Business Policy and Strategy class
recently completed an online business
simulation that linked them to other
business students around the globe.
The simulation, The Business
Strategy Game, presents a fictional
business opportunity that requires
student teams to successfully
produce and market products. In
completing the task, students must
consider business practices such as
production operations; training and
development; shipping and inventory;
pricing and marketing; social
responsibility; and the financing of
company operations. The simulation
also includes consideration of Six
Sigma strategy. The most recent group
of teams, including the JBC teams,
applied these tasks to the creation of
branded and private-label footwear.

Everyone says Jamestown is a great place to raise a family, and I
couldn’t agree more! My wife Andrea and I have raised our four
children here in our hometown, and we couldn’t be happier. The
quality of education our children have received ranks second to none,
and the opportunities and extra curricular
activities for our children seem endless.
We are seeing a Renaissance in downtown
Jamestown, many of our young people are
returning, and the desire of our youth to leave
their hometown seems to be diminishing.
Things are very positive for Jamestown and
the future looks brighter than ever.
“Our players range in age from their
mid-20s to their early 40s,” Bessie said.
“For most of them, this is something
they do after work or after caring for
the kids all day. The Babes of Wrath
are a homegrown, community-based
team. People who come to watch a bout
are likely to see someone skating who
might’ve been their teller at the bank or
their town librarian earlier that day.”
Jamestown Gazette
The training for roller derby skaters
draws on many other athletic disciplines.
Running and bicycling coaches,
wrestling coaches, power lifting and
endurance trainers and ice skaters may
all take part in the roller derby skater’s
training regimen.
And for the rhythm, there’s music to go
with every bout, lively up-tempo and
loud enough to keep every toe tapping
and every skate rolling. Bouts and teams
are traditionally given names that parody
other popular events, like “Cinco de
May-hem” (Cinco de Mayo), “War of
the Wheels” (War of the Worlds), “May
the 4th Be With You”, (May the Force
Be With You) and many more. Even
creative garb gets into the act for roller
derby skaters, with outfits sometimes
called “boutfits.” They may feature bright
colors, fishnet hose and wildly decorated
costumes.

Center & Sanctuary begins this month.
If you’ve never taken advantage of the
opportunity to view this amazing process,
now is your chance.
You can drop in any time between 7 a.m.
and 11 a.m. on four Saturdays from April

Wednesday, May 1st. This meeting, like
all their meetings, is open to members of
the community who have an interest in
photography and photo editing software.
May marks the end of the first six
months for the club as well as a turning
point in the season. Up ‘till now, club
members have been discussing basic

techniques using various software
packages as well as participating in photo
walks of some of the areas historical
buildings. April’s photo subjects
consisted of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church,
Sts. Peter and Paul Church, and the
newly remodeled Gateway Train Station.
Members will be showing off the photos
that were produced during these walks
and discussing the various techniques
used in trying to capture both artistic
and realistic representations in low light
scenes such as these. There will also
be a showing of some of the members’
favorite shots taken during the month of
April from members who were not able
to participate in the photo walks.
The second half of the evening will be a
kick-off to outdoor photography! Now
that the weather is turning in our favor,
the club will be discussing possible
photo tours of Chautauqua County and
its beautiful landscapes and historical
to prepare for their camera bag with
necessary equipment, considerations
to take when shooting various nature
scenery, the best time of day to get the
warmest shots, and other tips that will
improve the chance of getting the perfect
photos when venturing outdoors.
Finally, the Chautauqua County Camera
Club would like to invite members
and the community to put together
any photography related to trains or
railways that can be displayed at the
National Train Day event on May 11th.
This is an opportunity to show off your

first of what hopes to be a tradition at
the Gateway Train Station. Our club
will have a display at the train station
during the event and we would love to
include as much work as possible for
the many visitors that will be drawn to
our area. If you’d like to participate,

experience – capture the birds in “mist”
nets, so-called because they are so fine
they are almost like mist.
Dr. Scott Stoleson, Emily Thomas and
Don Watts will lead the bird banding.
If you visit Audubon for one of the
demonstrations, you can accompany them
on net checks, and watch the weighing,
measuring, collecting of data, and
photographing of the birds. If you are very
lucky, you will be selected to help release
a bird!

ornithologist who has published over
50 scientific papers on ecology and
conservation of birds. He has conducted
avian research in the western U.S., Central

Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce
Join Now for Special Opportunities
Heading into its third week, the Chautauqua
County Chamber of Commerce Membership
Blitz is going strong. A number of new members
have already joined the Chamber, while
volunteers and staff are working with many
others.
If you have considered all of the benefits the
Chamber of Commerce has to offer, but still
haven’t joined, now is the time. The Chamber
of Commerce provides tools to help businesses
increase their profits and connect to new
customers, and offers information and new
ideas as well as representation as the voice of
business on important public policy issues. The
Chamber’s Shop Chautauqua County Gift Check
program easily pumps more than $100,000 a
year into the local economy, while providing
participating businesses with additional
marketing exposure. With a long history of
providing health insurance plans, and with a
thorough knowledge of insurance exchange
programs and the Affordable Care Act, the
Chamber is a key source for all businesses on
this issue. The Chamber is also the voice of
business on issues of public policy and advocacy.
These are just a few of the benefits of Chamber
membership.
April 29, 2013
New members who join before May 10 will be
entered into a drawing for these prizes from
the Chamber: a Sapphire Gem Sponsorship
valued at $1,000, their next year’s membership
free, or a free pass to all Chamber events for a
year (excluding the golf tournament and annual
banquet). Dozens of additional prizes have
been donated by friends of the Chamber as
well. All of the prizes will be awarded during an
upcoming Experience Chautauqua Networking
Event in May.
If a staff member or volunteer has not called
on your business yet, you can still become a
part of Chautauqua County’s premier business
organization. For more information, call the
Chamber at 366-6200 or 484-1101, or find
us online at www.chautauquachamber.org.

Business After Hours
a Key Part of Membership Blitz
Three Business After Hours networking events
are planned throughout Chautauqua County

the county for the convenience of all, and will

opportunity, attendees will have a chance to

Train Station across the street. This event is
hosted by the Jamestown Community Chamber
of Commerce.
The second event, hosted by the MayvilleChautauqua Community Chamber, is
Wednesday, May 1 at the Athenaeum Hotel
at Chautauqua Institution. This is a prime
opportunity for those who may not have visited

of Chautauqua Institution. The Athenaeum
provides a glimpse into our county’s past, while
catering to the present.
The third event will be held Thursday, May 2
in the friendly atmosphere of Applebee’s in
Dunkirk. It is conveniently located for anyone
who may want to attend from the northern part
of the county and is hosted by the Dunkirk and
Fredonia Community Chambers.
All of these events are open to any business

Our world as we knew it has changed. The recent
attacks on us Americans has me more nervous
and cautious. The other day I was in a public
restroom and someone had left their watch on the
sink. I am sad to say this, but I was nervous about picking
it up out of fear that it could be a bomb. It is becoming easier
to feel scared after what has been happening in the wake of the world’s
terrorism. I am starting to feel powerless and always feel like I have to watch
my back.

Oh Lord,
I come to you
My soul bared and broken,
Only for You to see.
I come to You with a mangled heart,
Torn apart by hatred.
I watch the world,
Destruction and violence at my doorstep...
And I weep.
I weep for the loss of life,
The pain and suffering,
And the unending cycle.
Why, Lord, must we hurt each other at every turn?
I look to you for guidance and answers,
Because violence has none.
Only hatred and death reside there,
Lurking in the darkness of our world.
Oh, God, I pray for strength,
That we might carry on.
I pray that people might find their hearts
And fill them with love.
I pray that folks will speak in words and prayers,
Instead of acts of destruction.
My God, My Lord,
fix our sight on You,
For through You,
All things are possible;
And bring peace to those who suffer.
Only through love can we rise up
And overcome the night.
In the name of the Lord,
Amen.

Attracting the Brightest and Best for GREATer Jamestown Jobs
community.”
According to economists, people often move to a
new city or region because of its “pull factors,” the
features and benefits that attract people and help
them set down new roots there. “Anyone who has
lived here for long knows what a wonderful place
this is to live, work and raise a family,” Volpe said.
Each of the four seasons in Western New York has
a wealth of attractive features, from outstanding
winter sports to warm weather hiking, hunting,
fishing, sailing and scenic prospects.
“We have pull factors unmatched by just about
anywhere else in the country,” Volpe said proudly.
“Who wouldn’t be drawn to one of our hometowns
by nearby attractions like the Chautauqua
Institution, wonderful museums, historical
societies, and of course, Lucy-Desi and the coming,
soon-to-be world-famous, comedy Hall of Fame?
We are close to major trade routes from all four
points of the compass and even home to a modern
airport. The list has a lot to attract nearly anybody.”
Currently, the GREATer Jamestown jobs action
committee is contacting local businesses and
employers to make them aware of this new
opportunity to advertise job openings across the
country. Speaking to a group of local business and
community leaders at a recent Rotary luncheon
Volpe said, “Let us know when you are posting
positions, and we will help spread the word. Simple
steps like job awareness and answering questions
will make a huge difference. We are here to help
build our community.”
While the Action Team’s publicity campaign is
national, the makeup of the team shows that they
have a strong interest in also attracting local young
people back to the area, some of whom may have
left the region for higher education or family
reasons.
A recent study by Facebook data scientists Robert
Kraut and Moira Burke found that people were
more likely to hear about job openings by talking
to “strong ties,” close friends and family. The target
demographic, 25 to 39-year-olds, have almost
universally adopted Facebook and other social
media as their favorite way to communicate with
close friends and family when they can’t be there in
person.
While this may reach fewer of the prior generation’s
seasoned executives, they believe it will attract
people in the career and family building phases of
their lives who will become rooted in their local
communities.
Services offered by the Action Team are still under
development and already extensive, including:
• Local businesses and organizations are invited to
email job openings for posting on Facebook to
[email protected]. Prospective
employers will advertise their best jobs to young,
mobile professionals at no cost.
• Job seekers and interested parties are encouraged
to “Like” the Action Team on Facebook@
Facebook.com/GREATerJamestownjobs.
This page features professional job openings,
networking opportunities and community events.
• Paid and unpaid internships, as developed by The
Chautauqua Advancement Project (CAP) and
Chautauqua Works, are also spotlighted on the
team’s Facebook page.
• When someone “Likes” the page, all job postings
and networking information will appear in their
Facebook news feed. The user can then apply to a
job or pass it on to someone in their network who
may fit the position and have ties to the area.
• GREATer Jamestown Jobs will host a resume
booklet. Job seekers can send the Action Team a
Facebook message or email a resume; the team
will pass it along to employers when skill sets
match openings.
• The GREATer Jamestown Jobs Facebook page is
updated continuously.
“Lastly,” Volpe added, “We are always looking for
new members and ideas. We’re inviting Jamestown
Gazette readers to offer their own suggestions
and ideas. Together, we can make a difference and
improve our community. Everybody has been so
welcoming to our ideas. People want to see our
wonderful communities keep growing, from good
to even better.”

Martin Short to perform in Jamestown
for the Lucy Town Half Marathon and 5k
Chautauqua Striders, the Jamestown Savings Bank Arena, and
the Lucy Desi Center for Comedy are proud to announce that
legendary comedian Martin Short will be the featured performance
for Lucy Town Half Marathon and 5k weekend. Short will take his
critically-acclaimed act to the stage of the Reg Lenna Civic Center
on October 12th at 7:30pm.
Short is widely known for his work in comedy, particularly through
Second City Television and Saturday Night Live, where he is
both a former-cast member and a three-time host (which recently
earned him a spot in the 5-timers club in the SNL episode hosted
by Justin Timberlake). He has starred in such iconic comedy films
as Three Amigos, Mars Attacks!, Father of the Bride Parts I and II,
and has created the characters of Jiminy Glick and Ed Grimley.
Most recently, Short hosted the Saturday Night Live Christmas
2012 Special, was named by Vanity Fair in their January 2013 issue
as “Hollywood’s Most Beloved Comedian”, and is working with
Lorne Michaels to create a new television show on NBC.
“I’ve personally talked to a number of people about comedians
they would be interested in seeing,” said Kurt Silcott, CEO for the
Jamestown Savings Bank Arena. “People locally, people in Buffalo
and places within driving distance. I’ve mentioned a number of
names, but one name always came back a winner; every person I
asked has told me that they would go to great lengths to see Martin
Short. I recall him in the movie ‘Innerspace’ and I’m excited that
he will be performing right here in Jamestown, NY. I think we’ll
have people register for the race, simply to get the inside track
to get tickets to his performance. We’ve seen the success of our
Friday night comedy and I believe that Jamestown has a thirst for
comedy.”
“Martin Short is one of those rare
entertainers I can mention to my son,
my husband, and my father and all of
them want tickets,” said Deb Kathman,
executive director for Chautauqua
Striders. “His popularity crosses
generations, which will make for a really
fun show.”
featuring Martin Short. The 5k run will
take place on October 12, and the half
marathon will take place on October 13.
The goal of the weekend is to promote a
healthy lifestyle and the Jamestown area.

Pizzas!
One winter day during Hanukkah Jesus was walking
through the temple when some worshippers
stopped him and asked, “How long will you keep us
in suspense? If you are the Messiah tell us already”
(John 10:24). Do you know how Jesus responded?
He said, “I already have” (John 10:25). He already
changed water into wine at a party (chapter 2),
healed a bigwig’s son (ch. 4), raised a paralytic (ch.
5), fed 5,000 people (ch. 6), walked on water (also,
ch. 6), and restored sight to the blind (ch. 9). On
top of that he taught, and loved, and walked with
God. And they saw it. They drank it. They ate it. Yet
they still had to ask. So again,
Contributing Writer

Hope Lutheran Church, Arcade, NY
How is it they looked so intensely for something
and missed it altogether?
A few summers ago my wife, Carol, and I were
traveling from the airport in Buffalo to Arcade,
NY. It was May of 2010 and it was our first trip to
Arcade.
During that first trip we didn’t know what we would
encounter. We didn’t know how far we had to go,
the names of the towns we were passing through,
and we certainly didn’t know what restaurants we’d
go by. That said, we were both certain we’d pass a
pizza place sooner or later. It’s a 50-minute drive
after all.
So there we were driving south down Route 16 in
hopes of getting to Arcade on time, and picking up
a slice along the way. When we got off the highway
we entered a town called Wales, but before we
knew it we were through it. No pizza. Next we came
upon Holland, NY, and I was certain this was it.
And it would have been, but I was distracted and
we missed Ronni’s. After Holland, we passed by a
pawn shop and a landfill, but still no pizza. Then it
happened. There on the left hand side of the road
we saw a sign we couldn’t ignore: P-I-Z-Z-A-Z.
“Pizzaz!,” we exclaimed, as I pulled directly into
the lot. Without looking we parked the car and
headed for the door. Only, this place didn’t look like
a typical pizzeria. We looked through the window
to find mirrors, barber chairs, and another sign that
read: Pizzaz (read: pa-zaz) Hair Salon. That night
we ate Greek.
How is it we can look so intensely for something
and miss it altogether?
•Maybe we look so closely for something we pass
right by like we did in Holland.
•Maybe we think we know what we are looking
for, but we’re mistaken.
•Or maybe we become so impatient we settle for
something less.

•Maybe they, too, passed it right by.
•Or they looked for the wrong thing
•Or perhaps they were too impatient
So often we treat spirituality as a search for Jesus.
We pass through life headed to job interviews,
school, work, or home, and we think it’s our job to
find Jesus along the way. Sometimes we even tell
others to do same. But here’s the thing: we’re pretty
bad at finding Jesus. We look too close. We look for
what we want to find. We jump at the first thing
that sounds remotely religious. I mean Jesus did 6 of
the 7 signs he would do in John’s story, and people
still had to ask, “So are you the messiah?” Yeah,
we’re bad at finding Jesus.
So thank God he’s good at finding us. After Jesus
tells those people in the temple that he has already
told them but they can’t see it, he goes on to say that
he’s the shepherd and we are his sheep. He says no
one can snatch us out of his hand (John 10:28).
So wherever you are headed today, and wherever
you are looking for Jesus, know this: He’s already
got you.
You can stop looking
and start living with him today.
Hair-cut, but hungry,
Pastor Shawn Hannon

Amazing Science
Challenge Held
Jamestown Community College
Nearly 20 high school students from Falconer
Central School and the Jamestown Loving
Education At Home (LEAH) homeschool group
participated in the Amazing Science Challenge
at Jamestown Community College’s Jamestown
Campus recently.
The event, open to students in grades 9-12, involved
team-based activities. Each team explored dissecting
a sheep’s brain, animal identification, engineering a
structure, and sources of energy. The students also
participated in Earthfest, JCC’s annual Earth Day
celebration, which was held on the same day of the
challenge, by interacting with various exhibitors and
vendors during a scavenger hunt.
The winning team was “Homeostasis,” comprised
of Joey Gerace (9th grade, homeschooled), Megan
Davis (10th grade, Frewsburg), Elijah Loomis (10th
grade, homeschooled), and Christian Sardi (12th
grade, Frewsburg).
