The London Olympics 2012 World Champions and Local Pride
Editor
Walter Pickut
“The Thrill of Victory…” It’s been an unofficial slogan of
the Olympics since at least the 1970s when Vinko Bogataj, a
Slovenian ski jumper became famous on ABC-TV’s Wide World
of Sports for his single moment of spectacular failure—careening
off the side of an alpine ski jump—forever after dubbed as “…the
Agony of Defeat.”
Chautauqua County’s own champion, a Fredonia native, 30-yearold, 6’ 0”, pole vaulter Jenn Suhr (pronounced ‘sure’), has been
experiencing the thrill of victory for a long time. Suhr vaulted
to silver medal success at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. The only
American woman to clear the bar at 16 feet, both outdoors and
in, she is favored by many to bring home the gold from London
this summer. Sports officials rank Suhr among the best indoor
vaulters of all-time, second only to Russia’s Yelena Isinbayeva, the
two-time reigning Olympic gold medal champion.
Jenn attended high school in Fredonia and Roberts Wesleyan
College in Rochester as Jenn Stuczynski, the daughter of Mark
and Sue Stuczynski, grocery store owners in Fredonia, New York,
before she married her coach, Rick Suhr, of Rochester, New York.
Other athletes Suhr has coached have set 16 national records and
won 15 national championships in pole vault competitions at the
high school, college, Olympic amateur and professional levels.
Pole vaulting began in the lowlands of northern Europe as a
practical farm skill to leap over fences or natural obstacles in
marshy land or over drainage ditches. It was simply a way to stay
dry and save a walk to the nearest bridge. Every farm kept a stack
of poles handy. Gondoliers in Venice used “punting poles” to
jump to shore from their boats. It has been a recognized sport,
however, for more than 100 years.
“When you’re jumping,” Suhr recently told a reporter, “it’s just
an aggressiveness, but I think the exhilaration and the fun comes
after you make the bar and you’re falling. That’s the best part - a
few seconds to celebrate and relax.” Suhr, named American
Female Athlete of the Year for 2008 by Track & Field News, has
enjoyed that experience many times. She broke records three
times at the USA Outdoor championships from ‘06 through ‘08,
the 3-time USA Indoor championships in ‘05, ‘07 and ‘08 and
the ‘05 NAIA Indoor championship, all in addition to her ‘08
Olympic silver medal.
See page 16...
A lifetime in sports is often over by the time an athlete is 30 years
old. More than two decades of intense training and competition
can lead to an early burnout. Jenn Suhr, however, brings an
important competitive edge to
London in that respect. “It’s
not like I’ve been vaulting my
whole life. I haven’t. So my
body hasn’t taken that
physical beating. I’m
still on the upscale,”
she said with her well
known winning
smile.
“I just want to
tell USA Track
and Field, ‘Please
don’t forget about
some of us older
athletes,’” she
said. “I actually
think I’m in my
prime….All I can
say is, keep older
athletes in mind,”
Suhr told Los
Angeles Times
reporter, Helene
Elliott, on the way
to London.

Suhr’s rise in the

celiac disease,

a few other grains. A few dietary changes returned her to her
winning form and feeling.
This year’s Summer Olympics in London promise to be as
spectacular as any, predicted to bump up the tally of dollars spent
and eyes reached beyond anything before. London’s bill is said to
be ready to top £11billion, nearly $17 billion, depending on the
fluctuating exchange rate. NBC spent $3.5 billion for the rights to

Life on
the Edge
According to a January, 2012 report
in USA Today, the average cost for
an advertiser to buy a Super Bowl
spot for this year’s February 5th game pitting
the Giants against the Patriots, was $3.5 million,
with some time slots costing as much as $4
million. That’s for buying as little as 30 seconds,
to say nothing of the millions of dollars spent on
producing each of the ads themselves.
Somebody is betting that 30 seconds of beaming
a message into your eyeball can make you do
what they want you to do. And it seems to work
well enough to make their bet pay off.
Meanwhile, other people say hours and hours of
TV violence have no impact at all on anyone’s
behavior, so it’s OK to give any amount of
eye time the broadcasters, or game makers or
Hollywood want to sell.
So what’s the truth? Research in persuasion
has shown that it depends, at least in part, on
the vulnerability of the viewer. If you are close
to the edge of an emotional cliff it doesn’t take
much to push you over. That’s why most of us
don’t do what a lone gunman did in Colorado
last week. The question, then, is: Do we have
a duty to protect the most vulnerable among
us so they are less likely to hurt themselves…
and us? While we ponder that, remember that
our children, even healthy children, may be the
most vulnerable of all.
The good news is that a positive message may
be just as powerful, especially for someone who
really needs it. There’s our golden opportunity.
This week The Jamestown Gazette introduces
you to examples of success. Maybe we can find
in them the right inspiration for a better 30
second message, or the right hours and hours
July 30, 2012
of encouragement to nurture our children and
those vulnerable souls who might need to be
pulled back from the edge of that cliff.
Consider families where skills and work ethics
are handed down from generation to generation,
where generation after generation, children
become great contributors to their community.
Visit this week’s Eye on Business column. The
Lisciandro family will definitely give you some
delicious food for thought.
Then consider the Olympics, or more
importantly the young athletes and champions,
especially the ones you may know from right
here in Chautauqua County and across New
York State. At some point in their young lives,
probably when they were most open, even
vulnerable, somebody simply encouraged
them in a way they could go, then helped them
be inspired by their own success. A teachable
moment may only last 30 seconds but, used
well, it may set the course of a lifetime.
And take one more moment to stroll by our
Faith Matters column for this week and have
a chat with Eric Williams. His contribution
may be the best summary we can find for the
influence dilemmas we face every day. Eric
reminds us: “In the midst of so much darkness,
so much grief, so much injustice, so much
violence, we can dare to proclaim that there is
light and joy and justice and peace.”
Enjoy the read.

London Olympians To Star In Progressive®
Skating & Gymnastics Spectacular In Jamestown, NY
Jamestown Arena

Liukin and a cast of 2014 Sochi figure
skating hopefuls when the Progressive®
Skating & Gymnastics Spectacular comes
to the Jamestown Savings Bank Arena in
Jamestown, NY, on December 15, 2012.
Danell Leyva won the all-around title at the 2012
U.S. Olympic Gymnastics Trials in San Jose, CA,
and is the 2012 AT&T American Cup champion.
Previously, Leyva captured the 2011 U.S. national

broadcast all of the Olympic Games between 2000 and 2012.
More than 3.5 billion fans tuned into the 1992 Summer
Olympics in Barcelona on their TVs, but since then nobody
knows exactly how much that number has jumped because
uncountable hundreds of millions more are now tuning in
on myriad Internet sites around the world in as many as 150
languages in more than 200 countries.
The Empire State sent 35 athletes to London, this year,
competing in nearly 30 event categories. According to the
United States Olympic Committee, 529 athletes qualified for the
Summer Olympic Games 2012.
The Modern Olympics, as they are known today, began in 1894
when the French nobleman, Baron Pierre de Coubertin founded
“les Jeux olympiques,” the Olympic Games, and the International
Olympic Committee (IOC).
Historians, however, consider that to be only the most recent and
most successful revival of the original games which began 2788
years ago, in 776 BC, with a simple footrace. The first Olympic
champion, recorded only by tradition, was said to be Coroebus,
a humble though athletic baker from the city of Elis beside the
Ionian Sea of Greece. Olympic judges hail from a tradition as old
as the games themselves.
The success of the games in Elis was considered a sacred duty
of the judges of the Ancient Olympics. Their commission, as
remains true for the judges of the Modern Olympics, was to
maintain the standards, uphold the rules and assure the ongoing
legacy of the games.
The Ancient Games featured many events that would look
entirely familiar to modern sports fans. There were running
events, a no-holds-barred, mixed martial arts event called the
“pankration”, a pentathlon (with a long jump, javelin and discus
throws, wrestling and a foot race), a boxing event, classical
wrestling (with barely a passing resemblance to today’s TV
wrestling), and equestrian events.
A newer sport, of European origin where it is called football, and
popular world wide, is called soccer in the U.S. Abby Wambach
from Rochester New York is a star soccer forward on the 2012
Olympic Women’s Soccer Team. Her advice to aspiring young
Olympians is typical of many in her position. “The sport itself is
difficult to learn,” she recently told a website visitor. “I mean, look
at us. We’re still making mistakes and we’ve been at it for the past
20 years. My advice to any newcomer is just to be patient and
to work as hard as you can, because if you work as hard as you
can, you won’t be able to look back with regrets. That’s how the
women on this national team got here.
Modern sports, some of which an ancient Greek athlete would
not recognize, include events like the Men’s 10m Air Pistol
competition. The 2008 Bronze Medal winner was Jason Turner
from Rochester, New York. At the age of 15, he won the Junior
U.S. National Championship, moved up to the Olympic National
Development Team at the U.S. National Training Center, and
then on to the ’08 games. “That was the best moment of my life,”
he said. “There’s no better moment in the world.” Turner is now
in London with his sights on the highest prize of all, planning to
bring gold home in ‘12.
New York State and Chautauqua County have good reasons to
look forward to a winning year at the 2012 Olympics in London,
England.

August Mini-Space Camps To Be Offered
Centi Astro-Space Activities
NASA’s most advanced planetary rover,
Curiosity is on a precise course to an August
6th landing in the Gale Crater on Mars. Getting
to the surface will not be easy. It is the hardest
NASA mission ever attempted. Also called the
Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) is a precursor
for future human missions to Mars. There is
a critical period only lasting seven minutes in
which it will decelerate from about 13,200 mph
to allow the rover to land at about 1.7 mph.
To celebrate this landing and help individuals
understand about Mars exploration the minicamp entitled DESTINATION MARS:
CURIOSITY ROVER is being offered to
children ages 8 - 13. Any parents wishing to
attend are invited to do so. Several hands-on
activities will guide participants through the
process of how the red planet is studied. The
culminating activity will be where our campers
will imagine, design and build a miniature
version of a Mars community.
Dates and times for this mini-camp are Monday,
August 6th through Thursday, August 9th from
1:30 - 4:00 pm. Tuition is $45.00 and parents
can attend for free. There is also a field trip being
planned.
Another event that occurs annually in August
is the Perseid meteor shower. Therefore the
Jamestown Gazette
mini-camp entitled COMETS, ASTEROIDS
& METEORS is being offered to children ages
8 - 13. Parents are also invited to attend at no
cost. We will explore these mysterious objects
which date back to the formation of the solar
system. Asteroids break apart and many times
enter a planet’s atmosphere striking the surface
causing little to extreme damage to the surface
and surrounding area. Comets are the oldest
remnants of the solar system found beyond
planetary orbits, but several have been bump
into the inner part of the solar system leaving
debris in its path. This causes one to see meteors
often times referred to as “falling or shooting
stars”. Of course stars don’t fall or shoot across
the sky though. Several hands-on activities are
planned along with a field trip to the Martz
Observatory to view the Perseid meteor shower.
Dates and times are Friday, August 10th from
10:00 am - 2:00 pm, Saturday, August 11th
from 8:00 pm - 12:00 am and Saturday, August
18th from 11:00 am - 1:00 pm. The field trip to
the observatory is August 11th. Tuition for this
camp is $45.00.
Registration and tuition is due July 30th
through August 3rd. If taking both camps save
$5.00 per camp. For more information log onto

WCA HEALTH TIP
SUFFER FROM
DIZZINESS?
WCA CAN HELP
Contributing Writer
Linda Johnson
WCA Hospital Public Relations
Many individuals find themselves suffering from
dizziness or unsteadiness as a result of disturbances in
the vestibular system. Approximately 15 out of every
1,000 individuals consult their family physician each
year with problems related to dizziness or unsteadiness.
Anyone suffering from these symptoms should seek
the attention of their physician to determine the exact
cause of these symptoms and make recommendations
as to treatment. For some individuals, research has
shown that a physical therapy program designed to
reduce symptoms of dizziness and vertigo and improve
a person’s overall ability to perform functional activities,
is indicated. Vestibular rehabilitation focuses on the
patient’s functional ability and assesses positions or
movements that provoke the patient’s symptoms. Once
these are identified, an individual program of therapy can
begin. Physical Therapists at the Center For Orthopedics,
Sports Medicine & Rehabilitation are specially trained to
provide such programs and many patients have benefited
from this type of intervention.
If you are suffering from dizziness, talk to your physician
about a referral to physical therapy. Physician referral
is required for all physical therapy services. For more
information contact WCA Hospital Center For
Orthopedics, Sports Medicine & Rehabilitation, physical
therapy services at (716) 664-8278. Minimal wait times
for physical therapy appointments!

Scenes from last years Lake Day - National Marina Day Celebration.
WATER MATTERS
Chautauqua Marina Good Stewards of Chautauqua Lake
Chautauqua Marina
Chautauqua Marina, acting as a good steward
of the environment and an environmentally
conscientious business installed a waste water
catch basin in the spring of 2011. Waste water
and storm water runoff is a problem for many
lakes by dumping debris and pollution into our
precious waterways. The permanent boat wash
and storm water runoff installed at Chautauqua
Marina is a pollution prevention system.
Chautauqua Marina is the only marina in
Chautauqua County that has installed a waste
water catch basin. The boat wash pad measures
40’ x 45’. The wash pad catches all waste and
wash down water directing it through a series
of underground pipes and filters to the Town of
Chautauqua Sewer System preventing any of it
from entering our Mud Creek or Chautauqua
Lake.
The filters also catch and contain any grease
or oil residue. These filters are changed and
“recycled” via Safety Clean Corporation’s oil
recycling program. This system will actually
help to reverse decades of environmental
degradation caused by the flow of toxic
wastewater into our precious and fragile
waterways.
Ken Shearer, president of Chautauqua Marina,
states, “The Marina takes the cleanliness and
ecological health of its surrounding waterways
very seriously. The livelihood of our business
and the enjoyment of our children and
grandchildren are dependent on us acting as
good stewards of the Lake.” He continues, “We
feel that being the only Marina in the area to
undertake and complete this project is a huge
step toward leading the way to a cleaner lake.”
Senator Catharine Young visited the marina
during the “Lake Day” National Marina Day
Celebration in August of 2011.

"Come Enjoy
Sherman Days"!
Please Stop in and Browse...
Tues. thru Sat. - 9 to 5
Sun. - 10 to 2
The motto for Sherman Day—always slated for the first Saturday
in August—is “Creating New Memories for Families.” This
year, on Saturday, August 4, 2012, on a day dubbed “Back to the
Future,” Sherman Day promises to create memories of a very rare
kind.
The Mystery is Unearthed
A few years ago, according to event organizer, John Aldridge, a
construction crew at the Stanley Hose Company unearthed two
mysterious objects of a sort no one had ever seen. They had held
up needed work on the fire house, so they were simply set aside.
Someone noticed the date 1902 under the mud covering one of
the two objects. The other appeared unmarked. The once buried
artifacts remained mostly unexamined and almost entirely
forgotten in the Sherman Water Works building for nearly two
years.
While planning for Sherman Day, 2012, event planners recalled
the mysterious objects and proposed the theory that they were
probably time capsules, at least one of which would now be
110 years old. Aldridge later said no one knew who might have
buried the things, or what the occasion might have been.
The mystery, however, appears to remain a well kept secret.
According to Sherman Day Organizer, John Aldridge, neither he
nor Sherman Village Clerk, Ann Gilbert, nor even, to the best of
Aldridge’s knowledge, Mayor John Patterson have yet seen the
objects themselves. Aldridge is the Sherman Day Chair person
and has been involved in panning the day’s festivities for the last
five years. “But I’ve never seen anything like this,” he said.
The Senator Will Attend
The objects will be opened at the Yorker museum, at Park &
Church Streets in Sherman, immediately after the 10:00 a.m.
parade on Saturday morning. The mystery of what people of 110
years ago might have wanted people of the 21st Century to know
about their lives—their journey Back to the Future—will be
revealed.
A spokesperson at the office of Senator Young has told Sherman
town officials the senator plans to attend this impending, historic
event.
All those attending are invited to bring ideas for the contents of a
new time capsule to be created.
The Schedule
The Sherman Day events will, as always, provide a fun filled
day with the always popular Stanley Hose Company Firemen’s
BBQ, street craft and food vendors, kids’ games and a petting
zoo, music, the first ever Lawn Tractor Poker Run and more.
The day starts with a 5 K run at 8:30 a.m. and ends with music
at 9:00 p.m. Sherman invites everyone to come and create new
memories for yourself and your family.

Women Need Life
Insurance Too
by Miller Hall Financial Professionals
Elisabeth A. Hall / G. Craig Miller
Life insurance pays off mortgages, funds college
education, provides for retirement and gives the money
necessary for an unlimited list of expenses. In short, with
life insurance the surviving spouse is likely not to have
to sell the family home or have their standard of living
negatively altered.
A man buys life insurance to protect his family, replace
lost income upon death, his own retirement, and myriad
other reasons. Why should a woman buy life insurance?
A woman should buy life insurance for the exact same
reasons that a man buys life insurance.
While there are thousands of people who do not have
life insurance, many who do are underinsured. Whether
you are married with a family or a single working female,
women unmistakably need life insurance. With most
families in America dependent on two incomes it is
surprising to hear that women today are quite often
underinsured when it comes to life insurance. The
reason that women are underinsured is because we tend
to neglect our own needs, including insurance needs.

Historically, adult males represented 57% of all life
insurance policies purchased in the United States and
women represented 29% of all life insurance policies
(statistics: American Council of Life Insurance). While
the gap may be closing (today 59% of women compared
to 64% of men have life insurance policies), women
don’t have enough coverage. The average life insurance
settlement (death benefit) for men is $143,100 versus
$76,000 for women, according to “Trends in Life
Insurance Ownership,” LIMRA International.
At one time in our history women were primarily based
at home. Today, husbands and wives are economic
partners. If something were to happen to you, and the
money you bring in, would your family be financially
devastated? In the event of death, will your family have
enough to cope with emotionally, without the added
burden of not having enough money to maintain the
same standard of living?
Yes, women do it all. We manage our homes, our
own successful start-ups, departments and entire
organizations. We are the primary caregivers for our
children, spouses, parents and pets. We do it all very
well. However, when it comes to having adequate life
insurance (i.e. caring for family in the event of our
death) we don’t fare as well.
In today’s world women should strongly consider their
insurance needs. Their financial contributions to the
household are of a much greater value than once before.
All women should consider their own and their loved
ones’ financial security.

Eye On Business
Lisciandro’s Restaurant Celebrates
Six Decades of Home Town Cooking
Editor
Walter Pickut
here with breakfast come right back for lunch.”
The NRA forecasts that the business will top $200 billion in 2012.
That’s the other NRA, the National Restaurant Association, and they predict it will be the “Table
Service” restaurants that hit that mark… $6 billion more than last year.
Sam Lisciandro and his wife Beatrice opened their own table service restaurant on the corner of 2nd
and Main in downtown Jamestown, New York, in 1954 and three generations of their family have been
riding the crest of that success for nearly 60 years now. The
open secret of their achievement has been what NRA surveys
say 75 percent of restaurant patrons want; quality and service
based on nutritious food from local sources.
One of the most important challenges facing restaurants for 2012, according to the NRA, is the
wholesale price of food. The average food cost to a restaurant owner rose by 8 percent in 2011, with
some relief slated for 2012, at a predicted 4 percent jump. But a 12 percent jump over only two years
remains a major hurdle.
“Nobody in town wants to raise their prices, but there’s not much relief in sight,” John explained. “Partly,
it’s the corn crop. Too much corn is going into gas tanks. That raises the cost of cattle feed which then
raises the price of beef. And now there’s the drought. Cattlemen are slaughtering their animals early this
year because it will cost too much to feed them.”
“There’s never been a frozen potato in this place,” John
Lisciandro-Sam and Bea’s son-says with obvious pride. “And
whatever I don’t make myself, like my produce and baked
goods, I buy fresh and locally as often as I can.”
John started working in his parents’ restaurant when he was
young, just learning the basics of hard work in the business.
“I started on July 1, 1962. My sister, Mary, and I took turns
bussing tables and washing dishes,” John reminisced with a
customer recently. “Dad was a good person to work for on my
first job. He was my dad, but on the job he was my boss. He
taught me a lot.”
The staff at Lisciandro’s Restaurant. (From left) Toni Hultin, Jessica Taylor,
John Lisciandro, however,—working side-by-side with
his wife, Carol, in the traditional family way —loves the
business and his customers. “I enjoy the people. I enjoy
talking, and I really enjoy the cooking. This work is all I’ve
ever done,” John said. “People like the friendly, home town
atmosphere here. A lot of people even drop in as they drive
along Route 86. They don’t want the standardized franchise
food along the highway. They appreciate home made.”
“The hometown feeling is interesting to watch,” John mused
recently. “You often hear of young people who can’t wait
to leave town when they think they’ve grown up. But later,
when they really do grow up, they can’t wait to get back”
The personal connection among home town folks began
early for John. His father, Sam, became ill and couldn’t

counselors and the administration arranged a special schedule that released him from 10:30 to 2:00
Everything I serve is fresh; no pre-made, mass-produced factory foods. All my soups are made right
every day to work the lunch hour at the restaurant and then to return to finish his school day after 2:00
here, all year ‘round. My soup goes over really big in the cold weather. A lot of people who start their day

When asked whether John takes his love for cooking home with him, he winked at Carol and said he
was only the “outside man” at home. “I only cook outside. I’m the BBQ man. Carol works the miracles
cooking inside.”
John Lisciandro is a working boss. At any given moment, especially during the busiest of rush hours, a
customer can watch him prepare food, restock supplies, set a plate before a customer or even stoop to
pick up a scrap of paper off the floor as he walks quickly along a row of tables where his customers are
eating.
Few indicators of employee satisfaction are as telling as the number of years they stay on the job.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics the median number of years that wage and salary
workers stayed with their current employer was 4.4, as of January 2010. At Lisciandro’s Restaurant,
Jessica Taylor is still the “new girl” at 5 years. Toni Hultin has completed 15 years and Patty Ristau is a
20-year employee.
“Our customers are old friends,” Toni said with a smile and a wave to a departing breakfast customer
while she described her job. “We all get along and our customers are like family.” It appears to be the
kind of service the NRA’s restaurant industry surveys say customers value most.
“People get used to my regular specialties too,” John said. “Some of them come in just for them. Like on
Tuesday and Thursday when I make my Rigatoni and meat balls and my own homemade Italian sausage.
Some folks have been coming here for a long time. July 1 was our 50th anniversary of moving to this
location (207 N. Main) just up the street from my parents’ original corner store at 2nd and Main.”
John’s sister, Mary, who learned the business along with him, is still in the restaurant business. With her
husband, Jim McCusker, she owns and operates The Pub, where she started as a waitress in 1965, next
door to Lisciandro’s Restaurant.
John and Carol’s son, Sam, the third generation of Lisciandros in the business, also learned the
restaurateur’s craft in his parents’ store. Local residents have learned that some of Jamestown’s most
successful businesses are multi-generational. Family traditions of hard work and honest business are the
bedrock of the community.
“September 3, 2004, was a special day,” John said, pointing out a large, framed collage of photographs on
the wall near the entrance of the restaurant. “It was the 50th anniversary of the business. We had quite
a party. One customer took pictures of everybody who came in, right at the door. Some of our oldest
customers even came over from their nursing homes to be with us.”
Jamestown Gazette readers are invited to stop in for a cup of hot coffee or a satisfying meal at 207
N. Main Street or simply to say hello and check out the menu of fresh, homemade and nutritious
specialties.

Lutheran Youth. Our group included 16 people from
First Lutheran Church of Jamestown NY five different Lutheran Churches in our county:
First things first, we (local youth and adults who
attended the 2012 ELCA Youth Gathering) would
like to thank our home churches and community for
the financial and prayer support that helped get us to
and carried us throughout our trip to New Orleans
from July 18-23.
For five fast-paced days we were at the Evangelical
Lutheran Church of America’s Youth Gathering
in New Orleans, LA. During our time there, we
practiced peacemaking, justice and Christian
discipleship. We were challenged by the human
struggles still being dealt with by the people of
New Orleans, were excited to hear church and
world leaders like Bishop Hanson. Pastor Nadia
Bolz-Weber and Shane Claiborne speak and dance
and sing with the many amazing musicians that
performed at the Super Dome. In the Convention
Center we were challenged to seek out ways to peace
in our communities, schools, families and churches
by learning more ways to serve others. We shared
wonderful meals and southern hospitality together,
walked many miles in the Louisiana rain, sun and
heat, and learned how to navigate the trolley system
when our feet needed a rest.
On our service day, we learned more about the longlasting effects of slavery and were asked to use our
cultural and economic privileges to help those who
have less power.
The trip was a whirlwind of activity that was taken

As a recent college graduate it sure is wonderful to find my place in the “real
world,” back in my hometown. Except, it’s different from what I remember. The
people are different, the area is different--I’m different. I’ve stopped exclaiming,
“I need to get out of here,” and have replaced that statement with, “I can’t wait to
start my life here.” As someone who was born
and raised in Lakewood, I find it amazing that I
am still meeting new people every day, finding
different and fun things to do, and places to see
and experience. What really makes this place a
great place to be is that our options for fun and
entertainment are limitless, and it’s all within a
caring community-oriented environment!

I am by nature an optimistic person with an optimistic
view of human nature. I hope for the best in life and
in other people. Recently, that has been a pretty tough
view to sustain. We have been inundated with stories
about people in all walks of life acting badly: a pedophile
at Penn State, bankers who engaged in price fixing on
an epic scale, other bankers who knowingly laundered
money for drug lords and terrorists, and now another
terrible, senseless, random shooting.
These stories cause us to wonder: where is God in all of
this? Is faith just wishful thinking? Is this what the world
is really like? They erode our sense of the goodness of
human nature and of the world. But if we examine the
roots of our faith, if we turn back to the Holy Scriptures,
we are led to the inescapable conclusion that our
optimism is based on an illusion, not reality.
The Bible tells us not that we should be optimistic, but
rather that we should be hopeful. Optimism is based on
a false confidence about the goodness of humanity. Hope
is based in the reality of the goodness of God. The story
of the Bible is a story of human selfishness, violence and
evil. But it is also a story of God’s patient attempts to
redeem us, restore us and reconcile us to God and one
another.
Because of God’s extravagant love we can exchange
our shallow optimism for deep hope for ourselves and
the world. In the midst of so much darkness, so much
grief, so much injustice, so much violence, we can dare
to proclaim that there is light and joy and justice and
peace. We can remember that our hope is in Jesus who
leads us through sin into forgiveness, through death into
resurrection.

Gerry Rodeo Roars Back - Let’ er Rip!
The valiant volunteer firefighters of Gerry, New York,
are bringing the best-of-the-best in cowboy and
cowgirl ridin’ and wranglin’ back to the famous Gerry
Firemen’s Rodeo this year for the 68th time. Rodeo
fans are coming from across the country between
Wednesday, August 1 and Saturday, August 4, 2012.

show goes on rain or shine!
part of the rodeo by popular demand,” Cooley said.
This year’s Rodeo Clown, Mike “Scooter” Smith,
billed as the “Clown Extraordinaire,” has
won awards and accolades across the
country for his shows and for his bravery.
In addition to entertaining the crowds, and
keeping a sort of order in the ring with his
trained llama and riotous dog show, Mike
will be the “man-in-the-barrel” during the
barely controlled mayhem of the bull riding
In the Kids Rodeo
each youngster gets a
real cowboy or cowgirl
numbered back tag
and a real western style
kerchief. A silver belt
buckle will be awarded
to the best dressed
young cowboy and
cowgirl.
As always, it is a PRCA/WPRA sanctioned event
insuring the highest possible standards in rider and
livestock safety and audience enjoyment. “We’re
bringing in 150 head of stock for this rodeo,”
explained Paul Cooley, rodeo media coordinator
for the Gerry Volunteer Fire Department. “This
will be a really
big show.”
“We’ve upped

explained to
a rodeo fan
recently. “All
together, it may
top $35,000.
And we have
nearly 170
contestants this
year, more than ever, way up from last year’s 142.”
Rodeo organizers also scoured the nation this year
to bring in more than ever of the ever popular and
always colorful bucking bronco riders, 23 of the best,
each pitted against two, rather than the usual one,

contests. Being a rodeo clown is no
laughing matter down in the arena,
but his antics are always a high point
of every show and a barrel of laughs
to watch.
Rodeo chairman and Gerry native,
Tom Atwell, and assistant chairman,
David Hall, have added a new, family friendly event
this year. The (Free!) Kids Rodeo on Saturday
afternoon at 3:00 joins the traditional, fun Calf
Scrambles for youngest fans every night. The Kids
Rodeo will feature stick horse riding, hula hoop
roping, stick bull riding, a boots ‘n shoes race
The other timehonored celebrity at
the Gerry Rodeo is the
food. The traditional
beef barbeque
dinners will be served to thousands of guests
each afternoon. The Gerry Fire Department
traditionally begins the 8-hour beef roast at
5:00 a.m. each morning over specially cured,
one-year-old maple wood chips. In 2011, the
Fire Department served up a total of 5,000
pounds of beef, along with 90 quarts a day of special,
secret recipe sauce that always adds a special zest.
Approximately 35 volunteers work each day in the
kitchens. Cooking and serving are closely supervised
by the Chautauqua County Health Department.
Any firefighter with valid ID can enter the rodeo for
half price on Thursday night, and children enter free
any night with a paid adult whose ticket is purchased
on line, according to Cooley. Saturday’s theme is
“Tough Enough To Wear Pink” in support of breast
cancer awareness.

Erie Sculptor To Show
At Prendergast Library
James Prendergast Library
Jonathan Craig Chisholm of Erie, PA, will
present an exhibit called Signs, Symbols &
Suggestions at the James Prendergast Library
Art Gallery Aug. 3 through Sept. 7.
His mixed media work consists of wall reliefs
and sculpture in-the-round.
There will be a reception from 6 to 8 p.m.
Friday, Aug. 17, for the artist, who was born in
Olean and remembers being in Jamestown and
fishing on Chautauqua Lake around the age
of 12. His great-grandfather owned a rooming
house, now a parking lot, on Prendergast
Avenue, and his grandfather’s sister owned a
home on Lincoln Street and, for a time, ran a
nursing home on Foote Avenue.
“Having been away from the area for so many
years, I am excited to be able to show in a place
- so loved by many - that I left behind 50 years
ago,” he said.
Chisholm had a solo exhibit at Patterson
Library in Westfield in 2011. He was an
adjunct professor of art at St. Bonaventure
University and the Olean campus of Jamestown
Community College during 2008-9.
Images in his Prendergast show will range from
a pharaoh and Zodiac signs to butterflies, a
clown, and animals such an owl, elephant, and
pig. Viewers will also see contrasts such as a
corporate ladder juxtaposed with Jacob’s ladder.
According to the artist, signs are universally
recognizable and understood. An example
in the show is a piece about smoking called
“Hazardous?”
Symbols, he says, are stand-ins that convey
something other than themselves. They express
meaning indirectly and their meaning varies in
different times, cultures, or societies. A symbolic
piece about music in the exhibit is called “Re: A
Drop of Golden Sun.”
Suggestions are images that focus on a
subconscious level and elicit an intuitive
response from viewers. Examples are “I Am
That I Am,” a piece about perseverance that
references the Burning Bush; “Decisions,
Decisions,” which shows two birds flying in
different directions; and “Beneath the Surface,”
a sea scene.
Some of the sculptures support a cause such
as a piece called “Will It Ever End?” consisting
of a tricycle-riding child who may head off to a
future war.
After earning a bachelor’s degree at the State
University of New York at Buffalo, a master’s
degree at Adelphi University, and a doctorate
at Columbia University Teachers College,
Chisholm spent his career teaching and working
with a variety of cultural organizations. He has
exhibited his work widely and is a published
author. He is currently a member of the Erie
Philharmonic Chorus.
Library hours to view Chisholm’s work are 9
a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, 9 a.m.
to 5 p.m. on Saturday, and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on
Sunday.
The next Prendergast Library Art Gallery
exhibit will be iPhone abstract multiple
exposure nature photography by Butch Poole of
Jamestown.
The library is located at 509 Cherry St.,
Jamestown. For information, call 484-7135.

Three
Audubon Guided Walks
Remain This Summer
Jamestown Audubon Center and Sanctuary
beautifully maintained trails on a 600-acre
wetland preserve.
Three opportunities remain for Monday
afternoon walks guided by one of the staff
naturalists at the Audubon Center and
Sanctuary.
The three-story Nature Center building contains
a Nature Store and a collection of live fish,
reptiles, and amphibians. Interactive displays
focus on ways to celebrate nature hands-on.
July 30 through August 13 will conclude this
series that began in May. The hour-long walks
start at 2 p.m., with a different naturalist leading
each one.
Building hours are 10 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Monday
through Saturday and 1-4:30 p.m. Sundays.
Children and members are admitted free
of charge. Non-member adults pay only $5
admission every day except Sunday, which is a
free admission day.
Topics depend on what nature provides and
what the naturalist observes, so each walk is
unique. They are a great way to learn something
new while getting some fresh air and exercise.
The fee is $5 for Audubon members, $7 for nonmembers and free for Audubon volunteers. No
reservations are required.
One of Audubon’s most visited exhibits is
Liberty, a non-releasable bald eagle. She can be
seen daily from dawn to dusk in her outdoor
habitat behind the Nature Center building.
There is no charge to visit Liberty or walk the
grounds, but donations are always appreciated.
Located at 1600 Riverside Road, off Route 62
between Jamestown and Warren, the Audubon
Center and Sanctuary has over five miles of

Canary.

The proposal, which has already been reviewed by the college’s faculty,
now moves on to both the State University of New York and the New
York State Education Department for the next stages of approval.
According to Michael Weaver, JCC’s director of engineering science and
technology, the certificate will help support the needs of local industries
for trained personnel.
“Employer need for this program was determined through a survey of
manufacturers and facilities in Chautauqua, Cattaraugus, and Warren
counties, and evaluation of previous non-credit offerings,” Weaver said.
“The proposed certificate will prepare students with the necessary
interdisciplinary background to troubleshoot, repair, and maintain
electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, and pneumatic equipment used in a
manufacturing or facilities environment,” Weaver said. “Students who
complete the program successfully will be well qualified for entrylevel positions in industrial maintenance as well as other entry-level
manufacturing jobs.”
“Job titles may include industrial electrician, industrial machinery
mechanic, installation technician, industrial technician, and building
maintenance mechanic,” Weaver added. “The certificate will also
allow personnel presently employed by industry to obtain a credential
showing basic competence in the skills necessary for advancement.”
According to Jean Schrader, assistant dean of science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics, “The program core includes basic
foundations of automation systems used in advanced manufacturing
and facilities maintenance. Courses emphasize the key fundamentals of
AC/DC electricity, programmable logic controllers, electric motors and
controls, hydraulics and pneumatics, manual and CNC machining, and
welding.”
Marilyn Zagora, vice president and dean of academic affairs, noted
that while courses that can be applied toward the proposed certificate
are currently being offered, JCC will be able to admit students into the
program when both state level approval processes are complete, most
likely in the spring of 2013.
For additional information, contact Weaver at 716.338.1328.

Church Repainting Sparks Neighborhood Renaissance
Jamestown Renaissance Corporation
What started as a church repainting project on Palmer Street in Jamestown has blossomed
into a model for neighborhood revitalization thanks to church leaders, surrounding
property owners, and Jamestown’s Renaissance Block Challenge.
St. Elia’s Albanian Orthodox Church, a small congregation at the corner of Palmer and
Sprague on the city’s South Side, had long been planning to repaint their Carpenter
Gothic-style church when they learned about the Renaissance Block Challenge—a
program of the Jamestown Renaissance Corporation ( JRC) that offers matching funds to
groups of neighbors who work simultaneously on exterior improvement projects.
“The program is designed to start conversations between neighbors about the future of
their streets—and that’s exactly what St. Elia’s did,” said Peter Lombardi, JRC’s Director of
Neighborhood Initiatives. “Dolores Parsons from the church contacted neighbors and was
able to put together a group of property owners who were committed to making exterior
improvements this year.”
Mayor Sam Teresi noted that St. Elia’s is a good example of the role that neighborhood
institutions can play in convening neighbors, facilitating a discussion, and identifying
relatively small actions that can make a big difference. “Churches and other institutions are
critical to the health of Jamestown’s neighborhoods. St. Elia’s has shown us that institutions
working hand-in-hand with their neighbors can build confidence and spur revitalization.”
Standing in front of St. Elia’s newly repainted church are, from left to right: Nicholas
Manno of St. Elia’s, Mayor Sam Teresi, Dolores Parsons of St. Elia’s, Randy Sweeney of the
Chautauqua Region Community Foundation, Jennifer Satalino of Northwest Savings Bank.,
Dr. Lillian Ney of the Jamestown Renaissance Corporation’s (JRC) Board of Directors, Jason
Stronz and Peter Lombardi (JRC staff ), and Linda Swanson of the Sheldon Foundation.
Seven Renaissance Blocks were selected for participation this year after an application
process, including the group led by St. Elia’s. The others are on Lakeview Avenue, Chestnut Support for the Renaissance Block Challenge is provided by a range of local funders,

donated a total of $7,500 to the Veterans

to provide funding for the relocation of

A portion of the donation, $2,500, was
used to purchase and install an Americanmade flag pole at the Park’s new location.
The remaining $5,000 is available to use
for any aspect of the project that needs
funding. The project is spearheaded by the
Veterans Relocation Commission.
According to Bill Servis, member of
