The relay is scheduled for 12:00 p.m., May 19, 2012 to 12:00 a.m. May 20, 2012. But because it is a relay, participants are not required to be there the entire time…though most people say it’s so much fun, they find it hard to leave! Society for Chautauqua County. “The work captured my imagination with the possibility of making a real, long lasting difference in the world.” The 2012 Relay For Life of Dunkirk/ Fredonia NY will be held from12:00 p.m., June 9, to 12:00 a.m., June 10, at the SUNY Fredonia Track. “It is always a family-friendly environment for the entire community,” according to the ACS website, http://www.relayforlife.org. Fund raising efforts so far total 302 participants making up 43 teams and total $28,444. Brought to you by: RELAY HISTORY Mike Porpiglia, like many Cancer Society staff, began as a volunteer who simply enjoyed a Relay for Life event which a coworker invited him to 14 years ago. Mike had been a local phone company employee when he joined his company’s Relay for Life team. Within a few years he became a team captain and, after 11 years working for the phone company, he accepted the post he holds now, Community Executive of the American Cancer The American Cancer Society Relay For Life was started in Tacoma, Washington, by Dr. Gordy Klatt, a Tacoma colorectal surgeon. He decided to personally raise money for the fight so many of his patients had fought by doing something he enjoyed – running marathons. In May of 1985, Dr. Klatt spent a grueling 24 hours circling the track, eventually covering more than 83 miles, at Baker Stadium at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma. Nearly 300 friends, family, and patients watched, and many donated $25 to run or walk with him for 30 minutes. He raised $27,000 for the fight against cancer. That run evolved into the first 24-hour team relay event called the City of Destiny Classic 24-Hour Run Against Cancer, in 1986. Nineteen teams took part on the track at the historic Stadium Bowl and raised $33,000. FIGHTING BACK THROUGH RESEARCH For 2012, selected Relay events in Chautauqua County will offer the opportunity for local citizens to participate first-hand in a landmark new study, according to Porpiglia. The project is the Cancer Prevention Study-3 (CPS-3). The American Cancer Society offers interested people a chance to enroll in CPS-3, a long-term study to help researchers discover the lifestyle, environmental, and genetic factors that cause or prevent CON’T ON PAGE 4 May 14, 2012 Jamestown Gazette XXX+BNFTUPXO(B[FUUFDPNt1BHF LUTHERAN HONORS LONG TERM EMPLOYEES Lutheran Employees honored for over 20 years of service. Front row: Sylvia Trusso, Shirley Lepsesty, Carol Proestler, and Sal Lee Holland. Second row: Jody Henry, Jan Basile, Karen Marg, Tom Holt, John Yeager, Paul Siragusa, Kathy Olson, Joe Lynch and Liz Lobb. More than one hundred employees of Lutheran Social Services were honored at the 34th Annual Employee Recognition Banquet held at Moon Brook Country Club. Honorees had reached milestones ranging from two years of service to forty-five years. Included in those recognized were 14 employees with over 20 years of service. Collectively they have served more than 400 years. “Each employee’s story is unique, but they all share a common love for the people we serve,” said Tom Holt, president and CEO for Lutheran. “It is incredible to think about their dedication to this organization and to our people. Consistency is so important to our youth and seniors. So often, their lives have been disrupted and staff longevity gives them that added level of comfort.” Sal Lee Holland, food service associate, has been with Lutheran for forty-five years. Sal Lee began her career two days before Christmas in 1966. “At that time our campus probably had more livestock than employees,” Holt said. “We consisted of the GA Orphanage and the retirement home. Much of our history can be written following Sal Lee’s years serving our residents.” Sal Lee has been a steadfast employee who has been willing to change with the times, continually updating her skills and learning new things.

They called Golda “The Iron Lady.” Nobody messed with Golda and got away with it. Golda Meir was once heard to say, “Women’s Liberation is just a lot of foolishness. It’s the men who are discriminated against. They can’t bear children. And no one’s likely to do anything about that.” She was right. Women have a privilege no man can match. The day a baby is born, so is a mother, a completely new person who never existed before, just like her child. So when we celebrate Mother’s Day, we’re celebrating her birthday too. Of course, men aren’t entirely left out in the cold by that; when a baby is born, so is a father. CONTRIBUTING WRITERS Bridal Becky ........................................................

Students, Pre-K to Seniors For this year’s Mother’s Day, maybe we can celebrate our mothers for the educational accomplishment that we rarely think about. A new, first time mother has almost as much to learn as her brand new baby, but she has to learn it all faster and better; a life depends on it. Mother’s Day celebrates Mom’s crash course from Mommy Grammar School through her Ph.D. in Motherhood, all in the same short time her baby grows up from diapers to driver’s license. QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS Write to us at: PO Box 92 Jamestown, New York 14702 In her book, “Women and Beauty,” Sophia Loren wrote, “When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child.” OFFICE: 716-484-7930 FAX: 716-338-1599 The joy of caring for someone else, whether for children, family or friends, is of course free to dads too. And, in many other ways, caring for others is also a benefit available to every citizen in our community. Many people, through no fault of their own, lose the ability to care for themselves, or their loved ones, due to illness and disease. EMAIL: This week The Jamestown Gazette joins with The American Cancer Society in inviting our readers to offer a caring hand—and two caring feet—and step up to the challenge of finally defeating cancer. It is our chance to help patients and their selfless helpers. Consider joining the fun and inspiring Relay For Life around the track at either the Frewsburg Central School or the SUNY Fredonia track this spring. Your generous contribution of time or money may some day save the life of someone you know and love. Caring isn’t only a mother’s career or a father’s job; it is a privilege of community life. Why not include that idea in your celebration of Mother’s Day this year? Then turn to our Young Writer’s column and enjoy the simple, heart warming “Thank You” Jamestown High School student, Cody Becker, penned for his own mother. Enjoy the read.

Brought to you by: Walt Pickut Editor The Jamestown Gazette May 14, 2012 Jamestown Gazette XXX+BNFTUPXO(B[FUUFDPNt1BHF NURSE’S NOTES SKIN CARE 101 4-H YOUTH DEVELOPMENT RECEIVES GRANT FROM CRCF reaches out to those with limited access to youth development programs and provides them an opportunity to facilitate friendship, independence, generosity and a mastery of skills. Contributing Writer Elaine Rissel, RN I was amazed last week to see the number of people that had been working outside in their gardens, or performing outdoor sports with their sunburns. I know that I should feel a little bit of remorse for them, but come on, this is a self-inflicted pain! When playing sports or working outdoors, apply sunscreen! So, how much SPF should be used? (What the heck is SPF anyway?) SPF stands for the Sun Protection Factor. This number is determined by exposing human subjects to a light meant to be as bright as a noontime sun. Some of the audience wears sunscreen, and others do not. The amount of light that induces redness in unprotected skin is the SPF. For example, a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 filters 92% of the ultraviolet rays. A sunscreen with an SPF of 15 will delay the onset of a sunburn in a person who would otherwise burn in 10 minutes (like me) to burn in 150 minutes. After suffering funding cuts in 2011 and eventually losing all county funding in 2012, Emily Kidd, 4-H Issue Leader, is happy to have this grant to put into programs for the youth of Chautauqua County. “It is only through generous support from the community, local organizations, businesses and friends of 4-H that we are able to maintain successful programming this year,” said Kidd. “It has not been easy but we are grateful for the support from contributors such as the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation.” The Cornell Cooperative Extension of Chautauqua County received a grant of $6,000 this month for their 4-H Youth Program. The Community Service grant, which was administered through the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation, was made possible by money from the Thomas H. Brown Fund and Lillian Brink Fund. The mission of Cornell Cooperative Extension 4-H Youth Development is to create supportive learning environments in which diverse youth and adults reach their fullest potential as capable, competent and caring citizens. An organization nationally known for their work with youth, the Chautauqua County Chapter currently serves 478 members between the ages of 5 and 19. Members are provided with over 200 hours of programming in a variety of disciplines, based on interest, as well as close to 150 hours of animal education classes. All programs fall into the four core values of the organization, head, heart, hands and health, thus the name 4-H.

This is also a time set aside to recognize and celebrate caregivers, family, friends and professionals, who give their time, love, and support to those who face cancer. After dark, participants honor people they know who have been touched by cancer. They remember loved ones lost to the disease during the Luminaria Ceremony. Candles are lit inside bags filled with sand ringing the track, each one bearing the name of a person touched by cancer. Participants are invited to walk a lap in silence. A caregiver who has lost a loved one often finds comfort from a fellow caregiver who has faced a similar loss. Meanwhile, survivors gain hope and strength from others who have followed the same journey and survived. All resolve to keep fighting to save more lives so no more luminaria need bear the names of those lost to the disease. The relay event concludes with a Fight Back Ceremony. Participants are invited to make a personal commitment to do something as simple as getting a screening test, quitting smoking or talking to elected officials about cancer and taking action against a disease that takes far too much. Jamestown Gazette CON’T FROM FRONT COVER LOCAL PROGRAMS Michael Porpiglia described many local programs, supported by local and national fund raising, to help people fighting cancer. The “Look Good and Feel Better” program has helped many local women cope with the ways cancer and its treatments can change one’s appearance,” Porpiglia explained. “We can offer women fighting cancer a $200 cosmetic kit and free consultation with a licensed cosmetologist. “Hair loss, complexion changes and weight loss needn’t be a hindrance to enjoying everyday life.” The “Reach to Recover” program is a 1-on-1 pairing up for women with cancer and similar circumstances to offer each other mutual support, sharing of experiences and ways to cope with the changes and opportunities of cancer care. Man-to-Man is a national support program of the American Cancer Society for men undergoing treatment for prostate and other cancers. New York State is also home to three American Cancer Society Hope Lodges; one in Buffalo, one in Rochester and one in New York City. Patients can stay at a lodge near their treatment center for free. The lodge supplies everything a patient may need for the duration of care except their food and clothing. “We can provide support for patients and caregivers,” Porpiglia said, “and we can supply information. But we do that so they can make their own best, most fully informed decisions. Today, people appreciate every opportunity to control their own care without outside authorities making decisions for them. We give no advice but we do support patients, families and their doctors in building a team to carry out the patient’s wishes.” More information about local events is available at http://www.relayforlife.org or by logging on to www.cancer.org/, calling 1 800-227-2345 or on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/ cancerservicesprogram. May 14, 2012 G THE HOW DID I GET HERE AZETTEERS YOUNG WRITER OF THE WEEK MY MOTHER Jamestown High School Cody Becker There have been many people in my life that have supported and believed in me, but the one that stands out is my mother. I play baseball at J.H.S. She has told me that when my baseball career is done at the high school, I should consider going to college and playing for a college team. She keeps saying that I have something going for me and that I’m really good. It makes me feel good that I know of someone that supports me as much as my mom does. My family is pretty big and the one that has had the biggest impact on me by being supportive and encouraging is my mom. It makes me feel good that someone in my family has noticed that I’m really good at the thing that I love to do most… playing baseball The Jamestown Gazette is pleased to celebrate the talent of Jamestown’s youth in partnership with the Arts Council for Chautauqua County’s 3rd Street Canvas Urban Literary Trail project. !"#$%" Edited by Margie E. Burke Difficulty : Medium # ! $ & & # & " ( ( ) " ) I recently wrote an article for a magazine about media manipulation. I interviewed some really intelligent people for the piece, which of course made me feel well… not so intelligent. Scholarly articles will attest that the media is extremely savvy… it’s not just commercials, it’s product placement in television and movies as well. It’s the repeated actions of characters that normalize deviant behavior, which is probably why, although I’ve never been a smoker or fan of hard liquor, I found myself convinced I needed a cigarette and a cosmopolitan after watching Sex and the City. I was taught the trick to beating media manipulation is to 1) recognize it 2) determine the message I am being sent and 3) detach from the manipulation. Aside from my imaginary nicotine addiction, I wondered... what kind of manipulation have I succumbed to? While selling coupons at the mall, I was seated next to a poster of a young, ahem…let’s go with athletic…man laying on a rock, the ocean behind him, sun gleaming on his chest. That was step one. Step two: What was the message here? Hmmmm…I’m thinking it was supposed to be ‘Buy my jeans, so you too can look sexy,’ but that isn’t what popped into my head. Here’s what I took in: Wow. Look at that stomach. Was he in the beginning of a crunch? Was he sucking in his gut? Is that makeup? Would that work for me? He can’t feel good on that rock. Does he have a small towel underneath him? Or is that how he gets his face to look so serious? Maybe I should do some crunches. (I patted my belly at this point.) Definitely should do some crunches. But not on a rock. Those are hard. I wonder if anybody would notice if I undid my top button. These jeans feel snug all of a sudden. Should I buy some new jeans? Ohhhh…..I get it now. Dang-those advertisers are on to something there…Which brings me to step three: detach from the manipulation. Well, I’d like to detach this little poof hanging about my midsection.

The community is invited to Warner Place, Aldren Avenue, on the Lutheran Campus, Wednesday, May 16th at 6:30 p.m. Janell Sluga, Certified Geriatric Care Manager for the Senior Life Matters program will be the presenter. Reservations are not necessary. The program will begin with the very basics of what Medicare is and how it works and then cover how to wade through all the information to determine what applies and what doesn’t. “People are barraged with information from Medicare and other sources,” Mrs. Sluga said. “Some of it is legitimate and some of it isn’t. The vocabulary can be very confusing and overwhelming. We’ll cover these topics in the seminar.” She suggests that people begin learning about Medicare as early as the age of 60. The seminar will also be helpful for caregivers who are responsible for making Medicare decisions and who need guidance. “Insurance can be intimidating and scary,” Mrs. Sluga added. “There are so many options to choose from that if people don’t know the best choice for their situation, it can have a huge financial impact.” Edgewood Communities is part of Lutheran Senior Housing and is located on the Lutheran Campus off Falconer Street in Jamestown.

DENNIS HEFNER Written by Todd J. Tranum President & CEO of the Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce & Executive Director of the Manufacturers Association of the Southern Tier For the past sixteen years, Dr. Dennis Hefner has been not only a fixture in Chautauqua County, but a force. He has presided over the SUNY College at Fredonia with dedication and integrity, and has provided extraordinary leadership in the community as well. For the Chamber of Commerce, Dr. Hefner was a key player in the formation of the countywide Chamber. He was a staunch supporter of forming the Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce, and he served on its first Board of Directors. As a SUNY Fredonia graduate who often returns to the campus for meetings, sporting events and entertainment, I look back over the years and can see and feel the positive change that has occurred during Dr. Hefner’s term. Since my graduation, the student population has grown and the campus has become even more connected with the community. The campus itself has become a place where I have personally enjoyed walking with my children and viewing and interpreting the artworks that have been commissioned and installed. In addition, during Dr. Hefner’s tenure the campus has added a variety of amenities and facilities that reinforce its stature as a first class institution. For SUNY Fredonia, Dr. Hefner not only had a vision, he also had the knowledge and skill to implement that vision. Among his lasting legacies is the SUNY Fredonia Technology Incubator, which is not only a treasure for the college but also an asset to the community as a whole. One of the most critical steps that Dr. Hefner took to connect SUNY Fredonia to the community was the creation of the Technology Incubator. Recognizing that New Yorkers invest a lot of our money in educating students only to see them leave New York State, Dr. Hefner saw an opportunity to create a means of keeping our investment and these young minds in our community through the creation of the incubator. Leveraging the incubator to fuel the entrepreneurial spirit within the community and among the student body, as well as creating internship opportunities that align the learning potential of students with the needs of startup businesses, Dr. Hefner’s vision has created an extremely valuable economic development asset for the community. With the foresight to build the Incubator off campus and in a downtown setting, the facility is also a cornerstone for economic revitalization in the City of Dunkirk. The Technology Incubator will be counted among his lasting legacies. Dr. Hefner has been much more than just a name on the door at SUNY Fredonia. He has been involved in student life, knows students and faculty by name, and has been personally involved in many of the activities on campus. In addition to his service with the Chamber of Commerce, he has been on numerous boards of directors and currently serves on the Board for the Lake Erie Regional Health System. Thank you Dr. Hefner, we are proud to salute you and wish you all the best in your retirement.

On Sunday, May 20th, 2012 at 7:00 PM, THE SWENSKA SPELMAN SWEDISH GAMMALDANS GROUP will perform at the Music Salon Series at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Jamestown. Svenska Spelman is a traditional Scandinavian gammaldans (barn dance) group based in Jamestown NY. We have been together for more than ten years. Svenska Spelman is the host band for the Jamestown Scandinavian Festival, & accompanies the Thule Lodge Folk Dance teams. They have performed in Budd Lake, NJ, Mt. Jewett & Warren, PA, Cleveland, OH, and were featured performers at the 2010 Vasa Lodge Grand National Convention at the Swedish Embassy in Washington, D.C. They were also honored to play for the King and Queen of Sweden during their visit in October of 2011 celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the Jamestown Norden Club. Don Sandy, our accordion player, has been playing the accordion most of his life. His passion for the music of his Swedish family led him to collect an astonishing library of sheet music, which has served as the basis for Svenska Spelman’s repertoire. Don was raised in Jamestown, and worked for many years for Lutheran Social Services. He now is a representative for Thrivent for Lutherans. Don has served the community in countless ways, including his tireless role as director of the Jamestown Scandinavian Festival, now in its eleventh year. In late 2001, Kathy Howard Petersen and her daughter Hannah, both fiddle players, became acquainted with Don. They had been playing old-time contra dance music & Celtic tunes for many years, but were looking for Scandinavian music, as Hannah’s father’s heritage was Danish. Thus Svenska Spelman was born. Despite the untimely passing of Hannah in 2010, the band has remained committed to the preservation of traditional Scandinavian dance music. In 2003, Tim Cudney joined up on bass, and several years later, the addition of Tom Gestwicki on guitar, mandolin, and tenor banjo completed the band. Over the years, personnel changed a little, but the core group stayed. Svenska Spelman has played for church services, weddings, funerals, parades, Midsummer celebrations, birthday parties, and festivals. We never lose our love and enthusiasm for the music we play, or, more importantly, the people we play for! This program is part of the continuing Music Salon Series provided by the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Jamestown. Funded in part by the New York State Council on the Arts Decentralization Regrant Program administered by the Cattaraugus County Arts Council. Donations will be accepted to insure the continuation of the salons, and a reception will follow the performance. The program is free and open to the public.

FROM STAGE TO TALKIES The History of Jamestown’s Theaters “This town has seen at least 23 different theaters and opera houses since the 1870s, if you count name changes and owner changes, housed in 15 different buildings around our downtown,” Joni Blackman explained to visitors at the Fenton History Center in Jamestown, New York. the smell of popcorn, the mystery and expectancy of a darkened theater and the thrill of entering a different world.” Jamestown has played host, over the last century and a half, to the old traveling companies that plied their dramatic Blackman, Director of the Fenton, is preparing to debut a trades from villages to towns across the country in the multimedia, deeply researched exhibition of Jamestown’s 19th Century, raucous, rowdy and even sophisticated theater history, memorabilia and artifacts on Saturday, May vaudeville troupes, stock companies, silent movies and their 19, 2012 at the Fenton History Center, slated to run until pioneering stars and world famous movie and dramatic Saturday, September 29, 2012. “Personal stories are a key to stage performers of the 20th Century. “Our immigrant this exhibit,” Blackman said. “George Samuelson, still a local populations brought their own well established old world resident, and his sons, John and William, represent 93 years love of song, dance and theater too,” Blackman said. of theater experience and history in a single family.

Even the puritanical standards of two centuries ago will be recalled in the Fenton exhibit. Jamestown, and many of the surrounding communities, reacted to the entertainment troupes of the day by passing a law in 1827 that fined performing troupes of wire-walkers, acrobats, actors or anyone else whose “…exhibitions are impositions upon the public and serve to disturb the public peace rather than enlighten the mind or innocently amuse the spectators.” The fine was $5 per performance, which might be re-interpreted by some in a more modern light as, “if you can’t stop ‘em, at least take a share of their profits.” Joni Blackman invites everyone to come to the Fenton History Center to experience a bygone age whose artistic and dramatic descendents still proudly live on in Jamestown.

Despite the changeable weather, in just a few weeks, Chautauqua Striders will begin its track season in earnest. Late May, June, and July are packed with events and activities designed for every track and field enthusiast from the casual runner to the experienced and seriously competitive athlete. On Friday, June 1, Chautauqua Striders will again host the Hershey Track & Field Games at Strider Field, beginning at 6:00 pm. This program was conceived over thirty years ago to, “promote youth physical fitness and provide fun, learning experiences for children nine to fourteen years old.” (Copies of birth certificates will be required to verify age; nine to ten year olds born in 2002-2003.) Competing athletes will be grouped by age and gender so abilities will be well matched. While there are a few other rules and regulations, this meet is designed to be fair and fun for everyone. Chautauqua Striders is excited to announce that for the first time a Hershey’s Track & Field Games will also be held in Dunkirk, New York, on May 30, beginning at 4:30 pm, at Dunkirk High School. Those entering either of these meets will be able to compete in up to three events, including the 50, 100, 200, and 400 meter dashes; 800 and 1600 meter run; standing long jump, softball throw, and 4x100 meter relay. The top two finishers in each contest will receive ribbons and advance to the New York West State meet at Ilion High School, on June 16. There is NO cost for either competition! Please contact David Reinhardt of Chautauqua Striders at 488-2203 ext. 230 or www.chautauqua-striders.org or Andrew Burnside of Dunkirk City Schools Track at 863-5062 or [email protected] for more details about these exciting competitions.

This year, it is scheduled for Wednesday June 6, and is designed to promote running as an “incredibly healthy, easy, and accessible form of exercise.” Track and field organizations in major cities, such as New York, Boston, and Chicago, along with USA Track & Field (USATF) and Running USA, are promoting the sport by hosting a variety of activities, including appearances by well-known athletes, individual running events, group runs, and clinics. For more information, visit www.chautauqua-striders.org. June 11- July 17, Summer Track & Field Development makes its return to Strider Field. Designed for nearly everyone, the primary focus of the program is placed on children and youth 13 and under and its purpose is, “to encourage and promote participation and competition in the sport of track and field.” Parents of young athletes will be given an introduction to the sport while their children will be afforded the opportunity to choose events in which they would like to compete, such as sprinting, hurdling, running, jumping, vaulting, or shot-putting, to name a few. Older athletes will have the chance to learn new techniques and sharpen their basic skills, enabling them to “graduate” to Chautauqua Striders Track & Field Club. Competitive divisions are determined by year of birth; practices take place on Monday nights beginning at 6:00 pm and development meets are held at Strider Field on Tuesday evenings, CON’T ON PAGE 14 WHINE OF THE WEEK Submitted By Willie B. Paid 1BHFtXXX+BNFTUPXO(B[FUUFDPN I wish more people would do their jobs, not just their job descriptions. When you take a pay check you agree to do your best (it’s called integrity), and that means looking out for your boss’s interests too. I recently went to a store where all the flowers meant to decorate the place were dead. Employees who could have watered them (just once a week!) said, “Not my job. The person who does that is on vacation.” Really? If you don’t care enough to help out and make the business look good, even in little common sense ways, you’re cheating your boss and don’t deserve a job. Jamestown Gazette May 14, 2012 FAITH MATTERS NO SUBSTITUTES Contributing Writer Pastor Scott D. Hannon I’m writing this devotion with a three and a half month old on my lap. She and I have spent the better part of the morning scheming up a plan for Mother’s Day this coming Sunday. I’m not winning any awards for “Husband of the Year,” so it’s pretty important that I don’t screw up my wife’s first Mother’s Day. As a result, I’ve overthought, over-planned, and over-spent (cue the Mom’s “that’s not possible” eye-roll). But I keep going back to the same question…What do moms want? In between diaper changes, internet shopping and peek-a-boo I’ve managed to squeeze in a few minutes of Bible reading. I’m reading John 15, the text for this Sunday. It’s a story all about love. Jesus says, “Abide in my love… There’s no greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends… You did not choose me, but I chose you…I am giving you these commandments so that you may love one another.” In this scripture reading there is no substitute for love. No gift. No time. No sacrifice. No amount of money. God isn’t looking for any of that. God wants love. Which actually brings me back to Mother’s Day… Are there any substitutions able to replace the gift of a child’s love for their mother? In our attempt to “make Mom happy” do we forget the most important part of the day? Instead of searching for the “perfect gift,” shouldn’t my focus be on finding ways to let Mom know she’s loved? What if the gift I’m looking for is actually sitting in my lap? Jesus is clear… Love one another. Today. Tomorrow. On Mother’s Day and beyond. We can show that love a million different ways, with breakfast in bed or a hug from a child. What’s important is that we remember there are no substitutions... Love one another. I love you Mom, Scott May 14, 2012 DOWN TO EARTH I BELIEVE IN ABUNDANCE mention the pretty streets when the fruit trees come into bloom. While you’re at it, why not plant community tomatoes or beans. Wouldn’t this be fun? Do you have a lot of land you don’t use? Have you ever thought of sharing some of it with the neighborhood?

This premier competition draws 300 - 400 young athletes from across New York State, including Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, and Binghamton.

Jamestown Gazette May 14, 2012 GRAND TRADITIONS LIVE IN SONG: VIKING CHORUSES TO PERFORM Swedish traditions in Jamestown, New York, have been alive and well for nearly 150 years, ever since the first band of adventurous Swedish farmers landed on the southern shores of Chautauqua Lake and decided it looked like home, only a little better. And what better tradition can today’s descendents of those brave pioneers share with friends and neighbors in 2012 than music and traditional treats? The Viking Male Chorus, proud descendent of three even older Swedish choruses-some with origins in the mid 1800s-that merged in1944, will be joined in concert by their women’s counterpart, the Dam Kören, as the Combined Viking Chorus, on Sunday, May 20, at 4 p.m. at the First Lutheran Church, 120 Chandler Street, Jamestown, New York. The performance will be followed by a reception and sandwiches, coffee and cakes and the traditional “Smaklig måltid!” wish for guests to enjoy the food. Admission is $6, children under 12, free. With the exception of Native Americans, everyone in the United States is descended from immigrants of one kind or another. For those who found life good here, like the Swedes, many sent family, friends and nostalgic greetings back to the homeland to entice others to join them in the New World. “Hälsa Dom Dar Hemma,” among the selections to be performed is a traditional and sentimental Swedish song that was sung to homeward bound ships, “Send my regards to those at home…If I had wings I would fly with you, Swallows, fly towards my home, Send my regards from me.” Fellowship and brotherhood are also traditional themes in Swedish folk music. “Man ska leva för varandra” is a rousing tune that celebrates, “Men should live for one another.” The Vikings and their ladies embrace their adopted homeland, too, with foot-tapping favorites like “Hallelujah to the Saints,” a wonderful marriage of “The Hallelujah Chorus” and “When the Saints Go Marching In.” The Viking Chorus, a member of the AUSS, American Union of Swedish Singers, founded on Thanksgiving Day, 1892, has long been sponsored and supported by The Independent Order of Vikings, Ingjald Lodge 65, of Jamestown, New York, who join with the Combined Viking Chorus to invite Jamestown Gazette readers to this joyous celebration of music and fellowship.

MOVIES MOVIE REVIEW Sports SPECIAL OLYMPIC GOLF TEAM TO BENEFIT FROM NEWLY ESTABLISHED FUND When Evelyn D. Fisher passed away on May 2, 2009, it was discovered she dedicated a portion of her estate to the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation to create a fund for the Special Olympics. The annual grant will benefit the local Special Olympics golf team. Money allocated from the Evelyn D. Fisher Memorial Fund will go toward purchasing equipment for the team as well as any additional costs the team may incur. Members of the team meet every Tuesday at the Chautauqua Golf Club. THE AVENGERS, 2012, PG-13 Contributing Writer Lori J. Wilson I’ll keep this short because if you haven’t seen it yet, go. Now. Or after you read this, either way… Born in Buffalo, NY, Ms. Fisher dedicated more than 60 years of her life to the sport of roller-skating. She competed as an artistic skater in the figures, dance team and solo categories, judged skaters at the local, state and regional levels, and even went on to coach at various levels. Later in life, Ms. Fisher committed her time to volunteering with the Special Olympics roller skating program, serving at the local, state, regional and world levels as a coach, judge and referee. In 2006, she was awarded the “Lifetime Achievement Award” by the members of the USA Roller Sports Northeastern Region Awards Committee. For more information on this fund or how to donate, please contact the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation at 661.3390, or visit online at www.crcfonline.org. At our showing, on Monday night, there were parents with their toddlers in tow. Both parents and kiddos enjoyed this PG-13 film. We saw it in 3D, which I was nervous wouldn’t be worth it, but it certainly wasn’t a waste of the extra $2 per ticket. I wasn’t sure about Mark Ruffalo as Dr. Bruce Banner/ the Incredible Hulk, but he portrays the meek side of Banner quite well. The silliness of the fight between the Hulk and Loki got a big laugh from the audience. Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury was great; you’re just waiting for him to turn all “Pulp Fiction” on everybody. And the clash of the Super Egos provides ample humor. I laughed out loud! Twice! Tony Stark/Iron Man is still cocky as ever – hilarious! The best part is: you don’t need to have watched the individual movies of each member of the Avengers. But why wouldn’t you want to?! I’d like to thank Mr. and Mrs. M for convincing me to watch Captain America a second time; they were right, it was better than I’d originally thought. My favorite, though, is Iron Man. And it has a bald Jeff Bridges! Bottom line: I can’t wait to see it again! Join the Jamestown Gazette...
