“The personal relationship with
my patients is 100% of what I like
best about practicing medicine,”
said Dr. Timothy Brown, FACS,
board-certified general surgeon
and president of the WCA
Hospital Medical Staff. “It’s not
the robot doing the surgery. It’s
still the doctor. The robot doesn’t
do anything unless I tell it to,” he
added with a reassuring smile for
a recent visitor to his downtown
Jamestown office.
WCA’s team of credentialed
robotic surgeons have now topped
700 robotic surgery cases since
the launch of the program on
Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2013.
WCA is now the only hospital
in the Southern Tier to perform
robotic surgery. Dr. Brown has
been performing robotic surgery
for those three years at WCA
Hospital, though he has practiced
a magnified, 3-D HD vision
system that operates tiny-wristed
instruments that can bend and
rotate beyond the limits of the
human hand. This allows highly
precise, versatile instrument
control at the operative site to
achieve unprecedented precision.
The instrument features simple,
intuitive controls which allow the
surgeon to focus full concentration
on the procedure itself. “It never
shakes, it’s always where you want
it to be and you never get tired,” Dr.
Brown said.
Celebrating their 700th robotic surgery case at WCA Hospital, is the hospital’s
surgery team including Betsy T. Wright, WCA Hospital President/CEO. The
community is invited to test-drive the robot themselves during a community
event hosted by WCA, MEET OUR ROBOT” on Monday, February 29th, 4:30 p.m to
7:00 p.m. at the WCA Hospital Auditorium, 207 Foote Avenue. Event is free and
open to the public.
as a general surgeon at WCA for
more than 20 years.
Beyond M.A.S.H.
The da Vinci® Surgical System,
produced by Intuitive Surgical
of Sunnyvale, California, was
originally developed at the former
Stanford Research Institute for the
U.S. Army to remotely perform
battlefield surgery.
Intuitive has since advanced
the design to offer surgeons
It is Rocket Science
Da Vinci's surgical arm is also an
exact, merely scaled-down, version
of the robotic arm astronauts
once used on the Space Shuttle to
launch a satellite from the shuttle's
cargo bay onto its own orbital
mission, according to Dr. Brown.
"It's just like my own arm," the
astronaut was reported to say,

from past exams. This program is
open to students from all school
districts and is provided at no cost.
Striders has also developed handson STEM (Science, Technology,
Engineering, Math) workshops
that are fun and engaging. The goals
of these workshops are to inspire
youth to pursue careers within
STEM fields and help them gain the
knowledge necessary to that pursuit.
Striders’ Minecraft Workshops
use the popular building game to
introduce students to computer
programming. Within the game
students learn to program robotic
“turtles” that mine and build for
them. The Scratch workshops use
an introductory drag-and-drop
programming language developed
at MIT. Students are able to
program a variety of interactive
stories, animations and games.

QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS
The invasion has started. Robots are here… and if
that is not enough some of us are also looking for E.T.
terrified that, like Čapek’s Roboti, smart robots,
even of our own making, will become hostile.
We’ve discovered thousands of planets around
distant stars by now, so one of these days an
Extra Terrestrial will probably show up on your
doorstep looking for whatever Extra Terrestrials
eat. I just hope it is not you or me.
But robots have to be smart, don’t they? Stupid
ones can’t do much. The answer is apparently
quite simple. Let’s make our robots really, really
smart – just don’t let them think for themselves.
Fortunately, robots don’t eat much. They might
be a little easier to handle.
Both robots and ETs do have one thing in
common, though: they are not human. They are
not at all like us. They are aliens. But we love
them anyway. Remember ET who just wants to
phone home, C3-PO and R2-D2, and Microsoft’s
Cortana and Siri on your iPhone?
But consider the robot’s humble birth in 1921.
That’s when Czech science fiction writer Karel
Čapek's synthetic, thinking humans – the Roboti
– revolted against their masters and drove the
human race into extinction. That was odd; they
had started out friendly.
But Čapek created them from the Czech word
robota which means ‘forced labor.’ Few thinking
beings, whether synthetic humans or aliens,
you or I, will stay friendly if we are forced into
hard labor. That’s the problem. If they are smart
enough, they will rebel.
Today’s quest for Artificial Intelligence, AI, for
instance, has raised alarms among some of the
world’s great thinkers. Elon Musk, creator of
PayPal, Tesla cars and SpaceX rockets that fly
to the International Space Station, and famed
astrophysicist Stephen Hawking, both say they are
Leave that thinking stuff to us natural, all organic
humans. We’re good at it, right?
That’s why some very clever people actually
invented a robot like that. You can go see it and
try it out for yourself when you accept this week’s
invitation from the Jamestown Gazette to visit
WCA Hospital and meet da Vinci, their surgical
robot named Art. It doesn’t do the surgery, the
surgeon does that, but it helps him or her do it
better than ever.
So don’t get carried away. This isn’t one of Karel
Čapek's synthetic humans – one of the Roboti. It
is a very smart thing that can’t think at all. It will
never replace your doctor or even try to.
Dr. Robert Winston, a British professor, medical
doctor, scientist and politician, said it like this,
“Robots may cut down on infection and mean a
consultant can see more patients, but wouldn't
you rather meet the doctor than a machine?”
Well, that’s WCA’s promise. The age of the good
robots has arrived.
Now, if we can just get ET to land here…
Enjoy the read.

Changes in Leadership
Announced by Hospice
Chautauqua County
Hospice Chautauqua County
Hospice Chautauqua County today
announced the retirement of Ron Sellers,
President & CEO, and the appointment
of Shauna Anderson as his successor.
"We are extremely fortunate to have a
person of Shauna Anderson’s caliber ready
to assume the leadership role and the
board feels she is an exceptional choice,"
said Board Chair, Rev. Samuel Shreffler.
“Shauna has refined our clinical operations
and conceived and implemented a
successful community-based palliative care
program while achieving a positive NYS
Health Department Survey of our hospice
program. Hospice Chautauqua County sits
in a position of strength as we enter 2016
with new leadership and enthusiasm.”
Ms. Anderson worked in both the
skilled nursing environment and in
home healthcare before joining the
HCC care team in 2003 as a hospice
nurse. She was quickly appointed
Director of Clinical Services in 2004
and then to VP of Clinical Operations
in 2006. She holds a Bachelor of Science
in Nursing with a minor in Biology from
SUNY Brockport, as well as a Master
of Science in Community Health
Nursing from D'Youville College. Ms.
Anderson is a Registered Nurse and is
a certified Hospice and Palliative Nurse.
She is active in numerous community
organizations including Zonta, An
Open Table and the Chautauqua Home
Care Association.
“We are also extremely grateful for Ron’s
service to Hospice and our community,”
Mr. Shreffler continued. “Under his
leadership,
Hospice
Chautauqua
County has achieved financial stability
and steady program growth. He
brought considerable healthcare insight
to us when we needed it and we will be
forever grateful."
Mr. Sellers has served as the senior
executive of Hospice Chautauqua
County since 2003, when he joined the
organization after serving in various
leadership positions in hospital and
education administration. He earned a
Bachelor’s degree in Special Education
from Buffalo State College and Masters
Degree in Education Administration
from the University of Buffalo. During
his career in education he served as a
teacher, secondary school principal,
director of vocational and special
education and director of instruction
for a suburban BOCES in Western New
York. In the late 1980's Ron was recruited
to Millard Fillmore Hospital where
he served as a senior administrator
assisting in the development of Millard
Fillmore Health System. He then joined
Mercy Health System of Chicago
where he served as Vice President for
Administration until he was recruited
by a regional health system where he
assisted in turning around an elevenhospital rural health system.
Hospice Chautauqua County is an
independent, not-for-profit healthcare
organization governed by a volunteer
board of directors. HCC has been
serving patients and their families in the
Chautauqua County who are dealing
with life-limiting and terminal illnesses
for 35 years. It is the only certified
provider of the Medicare Hospice Benefit
in Chautauqua County and is regulated
by the New York State Department of
Health. For more information, visit www.

FaithMatters
On Course
Contributing Writer
Pastor Scott Hannon
St. John Lutheran Church Amherst, NY
I had a dream the other night where I was
a man on a mission. I had a purpose – a
true sense of calling. There was a path I
was meant to walk and over the course
of the dream, I walked it. This path took
me down streets and through stores. I
ventured into big buildings and navigated
small corridors. I walked with drive and
determination. I cannot for the life of
me remember what my purpose was; I
didn’t know where I was going. Yet, as I
progressed through the dream I knew
which direction to go. It was as though
God was pulling me forward.
In the midst of this drive to move forward,
there were also voices telling me to stop.
Initially, as I walked down my path there
were people and voices encouraging
me to quit. There were distractions and
obstacles. While in a bookstore a man
grabbed me by the arm and began pulling
me away from where I felt I should go. In
a staircase another person blocked my
way. In my dream I alternated between
feelings of confidence as I moved forward
and frustration as I was thrown off course.
I’ve never read much into dreams, but this
one stuck with me. The parallels between
this dream and my life struck me. See,
my life is thrown off course all the time.
Nary a day goes by the way I expect it
to. Some mornings I wake up vowing to
accomplish this or do that, and by 9a.m.
its clear that none of my plans are going to
happen. On other days I tell myself I will
live better, carve out time for exercise, be
nicer to people, or practice forgiveness
and compassion – only to find myself
participating in patterns of behavior that
go against everything I had hoped for.
Scripture is filled with stories of people
who struggle to stay on the divine course
God has laid out for them. In the Hebrew
Bible, Abram (later Abraham) wrestles
with his wife’s barrenness. Fear and
doubt lead him to stray off course and
take matters into his own hands. The
Apostle Paul was imprisoned, beaten and
persecuted for following Christ’s call.
All of the oppression he received was
Rome’s attempt to stall his ministry. Even
Jesus finds himself tempted by the devil,
exhorted by Pharisees to leave town and
challenged by his disciples who attempt
to keep him from the cross.
On the discipleship road there will
always be voices that attempt to lead
us astray. At times, the voices will be in
our own heads as we wrestles with grief,
anxiety, anger and despair. At other
times the voices will come from this
world as it exhorts us to selfish living and
satisfying our cravings. And at still other
times the voices that tell us to stop will
be from the people in our life.
In my dream when I found myself blocked
on the staircase, I looked up at the man in
my way and said, “I know you and I know
what you’re doing.” He let me pass. As I
went forward I repeated those lines to
the many distracters, “I know you. I know
what you’re doing.” With each utterance
the obstacles lost their power and control.
The feeling of accomplishment and
purpose was exhilarating.
When I woke up I had one singular thought:
I should try that sometime.
Confront those obstacles, obstructions
and the enemy head on: I know you. I
know what you’re doing.
It’s worth a shot. I might actually have a
day where I stay on course.
In the Way,
PSDH

That’s what’s missing, but that’s only
the tip of the iceberg. This year’s
political landscape is a landslide
into mud fights, name calling and
people whose dignity has simply
disappeared. I am embarrassed that any of

the most powerful position in the world in my name. I

New
Beginnings

Night
Live
Tournament Set for June 4
The Resource Center
The premier outdoor basketball
tournament in Chautauqua County
will return to the Jamestown area when
the 20th annual Street JAM takes place
Saturday, June 4.
This year’s event comes with a change
in location. The 2016 Street JAM will
be held in the rear parking lots of The
Resource Center’s administrative
office building, located at 200 Dunham
Avenue in Jamestown.
“Over the past 19 years we have been
successful operating our tournament
in a wide variety of venues,
from parking lots
to
pavement.
After reviewing all
of the outcomes
from our previous
tournaments, it has
been decided to take
our tourney on the
road once again,” said
Victoria Trass Bardo,
the tournament director.
“We will be able to showcase our
beautiful building, grounds and, most
importantly, our jumbo parking lots.”
In addition to the change in location,
Street JAM will be a one-day
tournament this year. The event had
always been a two-day tournament,
but organizers believe a one-day
event will be popular with players and
families for a variety of reasons. With
a one-day tournament, teams will have
shorter wait times between games.
And conducting the entire tournament
in one day will eliminate some of the
conflicts that occur each year regarding
other school-related events that take
place the same weekend.
Street JAM is a three-on-three
tournament in which players of similar
age and ability compete against one
other. Teams are assigned to a specific
court based on the age and gender of
the teams’ players. Each division will
crown a champion.
SAVE
Every
TUESDAY On
This year’s Street JAM aims to attract
young players (boys and girls age 18
and younger). For players age 19 and
older, there will be one, open division
for the men and one for the women.
“The 2016 tournament will focus on
the very young, youth and players
up to age 18,” Bardo said. “Our new
format also includes the younger
players playing in the morning, while
high school players will take to the
courts in the afternoon.”
The registration fee is $125 for each
four-person team (three players
on the court at one time, plus one
substitute). To obtain a registration
form, phone the
Street JAM hoop
line at 661-1477.
The
annual
basketball festival
has been a staple in the
Jamestown area since
the first tournament
was held in 1997. The
event attracts hundreds
of teams and thousands
of spectators. Street JAM
offers something for the entire family,
since in addition to the basketball games
there will be food, music and a number
of other activities.
Street JAM is put on by Filling the
Gap, Inc. Money raised through
Street JAM benefits people with
disabilities and their families in
Chautauqua County, supporting
underfunded
and
non-funded
services and programs provided
through The Resource Center.
People can keep up to date on the
latest developments regarding the
tournament via Facebook at www.
facebook.com/jamestownstreetjam.
“We are very excited about our
2016 tournament with all of the
improvements,” Bardo said. “Many
details to follow, so stay tuned.”

Striders Upcoming Events
Striders launched a new athletic program
this year called “Striders on the Move.” This
is an 11 week program that meets every
Monday night in January and February
leading up to the St. Pat’s Dash. The
program, taught by Randolph High School
track coach Brooke Adams, trains those
looking to get back into or stay in shape over
the winter months. The program features
interval, distance, dynamic stretching and
speed training. “This program has been
a huge hit in its first year,” claims Sean
Hanus, Director of Events, Marketing, and
Athletics for Striders. “We were expecting
about 20 runners for the program and we
ended up with 40 so we were really excited
about the turnout. We hope to extend
another session of the program over the
summer to lead into our Dan Feather 5K.”
Participants of the program pay $50 for the
11 week course and receive free entry into
the St. Pat’s Dash. The Striders Annual Awards Banquet will
occur at the Lakewood Rod and Gun Club
on Monday, March 7th at 6:30 pm. Dennis
Johnson, Associate Professor of Sport
Management and Physical Education, will be
the keynote speaker. Cost is $22 per person.
Mentoring
“Kids on the Move” is a new program
with Chautauqua Striders. This health and
wellness mentoring program pairs two
paid staff and two to four volunteers with
20 students. The mentors and mentees
meet with students weekly for 8 weeks.
Together they discuss a wellness topic
including proper stretching, self-care,
healthy eating and much more. After the
group discussions mentors and mentees
“hit the road” gradually increasing the
distance jogged. At the end of the 8 week
session mentors and mentees participate in
a 3 mile or 5k race. The first group of “Kids
on the Move” participants are from Fletcher
Elementary School and will be participating
in the St. Patrick’s Dash in March.
Another exciting new adventure for
Chautauqua Strider mentoring is a project

The Doctors and the Robot
Continued from Front Cover
"the movements are so natural." Da Vinci
combined rocket science with its original
battlefield smarts to make the operating
room its new, natural home.
Do It Yourself?
Da Vinci’s controls are so simple,
according to Linda Johnson in Marketing
& Public Relations for WCA, that kids
tell her the robot is just like a videogame.
At the hospital’s “Meet the Robot” event,
visitors and even their children can
operate da Vinci for themselves and find
out how easy it is to do something like
peeling a grape with it. “I want people to
experience for themselves how a surgeon
can perform highly complex procedures
with unparalleled precision,” Johnson said.
Residents are invited to personally test-drive
the da Vinci robot surgeon and to meet
the surgeons who operate it on Monday,
February 29 any time between 4:30 and
7:00 p.m. at the WCA Hospital
Auditorium, 207 Foote Ave.,
Jamestown, NY.
UPMC to positively impact WCA’s robotic
surgery program. “Our robot is as busy as
any surgical robot in Buffalo or Erie,” he
said. “Our recently completed 700 cases
in general surgery are more than anybody
else in the region. UPMC has a Robotic
Surgery Center of Excellence which we are
now a part of through our new affiliation
with them.
“Our partnership with UPMC will
also help us recruit of new surgeons to
Jamestown,” Dr. Brown added. “If they
want to be part of a state-of-the-art
robotic surgery team without contending
with the hectic pace of a congested
metropolitan environment, Jamestown is
the place. We offer a wonderful lifestyle
for new physicians without sacrificing
participation in the latest cutting-edge
techniques and academics.”
Testimonial
WCA’s million-dollar da Vinci
machine will naturally stay in
the hospital’s operating suite
on February 29 for its own
safety and to maintain sterile
conditions. Intuitive, however,
will bring in an identical
mobile da Vinci system for
the public to see and enjoy
operating.
Easy to Learn
“The learning curve for robotic
surgery can be very short,” Dr.
Brown added. “It is easy for any
surgeon already experienced in
laparoscopic surgery. “Though
learning how to use a robot can
be easy,” Dr. Brown added, “we
have a certifying program on a
simulator so that doctors can
practice, master the instrument
in the lab before touching a
patient and then complete
many cases under the guidance
of a physician already highly
trained in robotics.”
(L to R) Seated, London Hamilton and Nolah Hamilton.
Standing, Henrik Alm, Ericka Alm and Harper Alm are dressed
in surgery attire to promote "Dress Like A Real Surgeon"—part
of WCA Hospital's MEET THE ROBOT community health event
on Monday, February 29th from 4:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m
The Robots are Coming
“To do surgeries in the future,” Dr. Brown
said, “you will have to do the robot
for the same reason that 20 years ago
surgeons had to convert to laparoscopic
surgery because the older open surgery
– a gallbladder removal for instance –
required a 2- to 3-day hospital stay and 4
to 6 weeks of recovery. With laparoscopic
surgery, on the other hand, everybody
went home the same day and often right
back to work the next.”
“The next natural progression is toward
robotic surgery because you can see better,
have finer control and use even better
instruments through skin openings as
tiny as 1/3 to 1/5 inch.” The robot offers
the surgeon natural vision at a nearly
microscopic level with instruments that
will not shake or vibrate and can reduce
ordinary hand movements to proportional
but minute levels of manipulation.
New Partners
Dr. Brown expects the new affiliation with
Jodene Strom, robotic gallbladder surgery
patient of Dr. Brown’s, said she had very
little pain after surgery. “I experienced
some slight discomfort the first day, but
surprisingly was sitting comfortably on my
front porch that very afternoon. I chose
robotic surgery because it would allow me
to be back to work sooner. To my delight,
I was back to normal activities and work
within two days.”
Take the Test Drive
Test-drive the surgical robot during
the community event, “MEET OUR
ROBOT”, dress up like a surgeon and
walk the robot red carpet, and hear Dr.
Timothy Brown’s presentation, “Robotics
In Surgery” at 6:00 p.m. on Monday,
February 29. For additional interactive
activities, go to www.wcahospital.org,
listen to what patients are saying about
robotic surgery at www.wcahospital.org/

Jackson Center Presents “The Ethics
of Spiritual Care for the Imprisoned:
Nuremberg and Today”
Robert H. Jackson Center
The Robert H. Jackson Center, a nonprofit dedicated to promoting liberty
under law through the examination of
the life and work of Supreme Court
Justice Robert H. Jackson, and his
legacy’s relevance to current events and
issues, announced that it will present
“The Ethics of Spiritual Care for the
Imprisoned: Nuremberg and Today,”
in its continuing commemoration of
the 70th anniversary of the Nuremberg
Trial. Robert H. Jackson Center
Executive Director Susan Moran
Murphy made the announcement.
The March 9, 2016 event begins at
7:00pm in the Cappa Theater at the
Jackson Center, 305 East Fourth
Street, Jamestown, NY. This program
is free and open to the public.
Seventy years ago, Father Sixtus
O’Connor and Pastor Henry Gerecke
stared into the eyes of evil and refused
to blink. Under the principles of
international law, as set forth in the
Geneva Convention, these two men
of faith heeded the call to provide
spiritual counseling to enemies of
the state. Ministering to Hermann
Göring, Albert Speer, Wilhelm Keitel,
Joachim von Ribbentrop, and other
imprisoned Nazis -the henchman of
Hitler's nightmare- would prove to be
one of the most rigorous challenges
humanity would ever face to its core
principles. The depth of this challenge
is eloquently recounted in author Tim
Townsend’s bestselling book, “Mission
at Nuremberg.”
Gregory L. Peterson, partner at Phillips
Lytle LLP, as well as co-founder and
board member of the Robert H.
Jackson Center, will open the program
by presenting a case study on Pastor
Gerecke and Father Sixtus O’Connor
(St. Bonaventure University alumnus)
who endeavored to “save the souls”
of the Nazis by leading them down
a spiritual path of repentance and
forgiveness, as that story is detailed in
the book. By examining what these
men of faith faced, not only in the stark
prison cells within the Palace of Justice,
but abroad, where they were vilified
by the general public for ‘fraternizing’
with Nazis. People were outraged
that priests would give audience to
men who had systematically strived to
obliterate anyone of the Jewish faith,
all non-Aryans and those who did not
unquestionably fit within and accept
Nazi ideology.
Fast forwarding to 2016, the program
will shift to a panel of four representatives
from the three Abrahamic faiths to
discuss how different religions deal
with incarcerated individuals and the
prospect of “forgiveness.” Luke Fodor,
Rector of St. Luke's Church Jamestown
will facilitate the discussion with
Sam Qadri, Director of Jamestown
Islamic Society Community Outreach
( Jamestown), Linda Dunn, President
of Temple Beth El (Dunkirk) and
Maj. Tom Geisler (Prison Chaplain).
Can a religious representative provide
spiritual care that leads an individual
to be accountable for his crimes? What
are a religious community’s obligations
in caring for those incarcerated? Can
human kind be saved from self-inflicted
destruction by summoning the courage
to value ethics as the safeguard against
the abuse of liberty? These questions,
and more, will be addressed during
what promises to be a very thought
provoking evening.
Justice Robert H. Jackson cautioned
the world, over sixty years ago, that “[w]
e can afford no liberties with liberty
itself.” United States v. Spector, 343 US
169, 180 (1952) (dissent). History
has proven on countless occasions
that, during times of conflict, basic
civil liberties are generally the first
casualties. Join the Robert H. Jackson
Center on March 9, 2016 to explore
how society can live up to the ethical
standards the Constitution requires to
safeguard against the destruction of its
underlying principles.
The Robert H. Jackson Center is a
501(c) (3) nonprofit organization
that envisions a global society where
the universal principles of equality,
fairness and justice prevail. The
Center invites and engages scholars,
educators, national officials and
international dignitaries to analyze
contemporary issues of peace and
justice through the relevance of
Justice Jackson’s body of work.

duty snaps and Velcro on one or both ends,
enable pouches, packs, and other equipment
to be carried individually on belts, vests, or
other apparatus.
The management team at Support
Enterprises, Inc. (SEI) is thorough,
thoughtful, and understated. Michael Suppa,
Vice President of Operations for Filling The
Gap (a group of companies that directly or
indirectly supports the work of the Resource
Center), along with Jeremy Weilacher, SEI
Prototype and Design Manager, and Gary
Neel, SEI Production Manager, are eager
to talk about their work, and to display the
variety of products they manufacture.
Components and ideas from one project
have spurred the development and
manufacturing of a variety of products.
Right now, Support Enterprises makes
the first aid kits mentioned above, along
with tourniquet pouches that are used by
firefighters all over the country, ammunition
pouches, training vests for the coast guard,
keg insulators, and police vests for various
law enforcement agencies, including the
Jamestown Police Department.
But their excitement is almost palpable just
beneath their professional demeanor. A quick
tour through the facility at 92 Fairmount
Avenue, Jamestown, makes it apparent why
they’re so enthusiastic.
The straps, a key component of the armored
police vests, enable officers to attach some of
their equipment to the vest itself, lightening
their otherwise heavy belts.
With a staff of 25 employees, SEI won
a contract with the Resource Center’s
Allied Industries, and in October 2014,
began sewing Individualized First Aid
Kits used by the U.S. Marines in the field.
By the time the project concludes next
August, workers from the Resource Center
will have filled 186,000 of the zippered
pouches with medical supplies.
Allied Industries is one component of the
Resource Center, whose primary function
is to provide employment for persons with
disabilities. As such, they are eligible to receive
government contracts, including contracts
that prohibit the use of foreign labor.
Everything manufactured by Support
Enterprises is proudly made in the U.S.A.
And while the Resource Center remains
an important client, business continues to
expand to other commercial enterprises.
Support Enterprises has grown to 90
employees now, and has expanded their
physical plant from 3600 square feet in
2012 to over 15,000 square feet today. That
growth resulted from a lot of creativity and
ingenuity that expanded both the product
line and the market.
One of Support Enterprises’ largest ongoing
sub-contracts is with the Resource Center’s
Allied Industries for straps. Made of strong
polyester fabric with plastic batting for
strength and flexibility, the straps are a
key component of MOLLE Gear, used by
the military and others. MOLLE stands
for Modular Lightweight Load Carrying
Equipment, and the straps, which have heavy-
The vests can also be customized for each
police department.
A backpack, for sports equipment and other
uses, is in the design stage.
Management at Filling the Gap and
Support Enterprises bring a broad-based
background to the table. Michael Suppa has a
manufacturing background, going all over the
world with Blair Corporation, headquartered
in Warren, PA, before coming to Filling the
Gap. Production Manager Gary Neel has a
background in the automotive industry, food
service, and furniture manufacturing.
“I started on the line,” says Jeremy Weilacher,
the Prototype and Design Manager. “Then I
sewed my way up.”
The production floor at Support Enterprises
is buzzing with activity. Workers look up in
greeting, but soon get back at it, some listening
to music or podcasts as they cut, sew, trim or
assemble one of the products. Questions are
answered with enthusiastic responses.
“This machine trims off all the loose threads,”
a woman explains. “We used to have people
trimming with scissors. This is better.”
Underneath the activity, the sense of
enthusiasm and pride in the work is apparent
on the factory floor. It feels like a team.
“We listen to the workers’ ideas,” said
Production Manager Neel. “If they come
up with a better way to do things, we’ll
make changes.”
Change seems to be the norm as this business
grows. Like Jeremy Weilacher, Support
Enterprises seems to be sewing its way up.

Additionally, the construction planning for

The train station has been leased by the
National Comedy Center since January 1,
2016, for the purpose of housing the new
visitor attraction based on the celebration
of comedy. The exhibit experience has been
designed by Jack Rouse Associates with input
from Local Projects, and is described as an
immersive, interactive exhibit experience that
celebrates comedy’s past, present and future
in all of its forms.
“As we have moved through the final design
process, we have gained more visibility on

Blue Star Mothers
Collecting Donations
Blue Star Mothers
The Blue Star Mothers NY Chapter
4 are currently collecting donations
for their Easter Care Package Drive.
After a very successful Christmas
Drive with 507 packages mailed, the
Chapter is hoping that the Easter
Drive will be another successful
opportunity to offer support and
encouragement to troops deployed
around the world.
The care
packages will be mailed on March
5, and donations of material goods
and money are being requested to
assist in this project. Included in
the solicited donations are snacks,
candy and toiletries of various
types. Handmade cards and letters
are especially appreciated by the
troops, and civic organizations,
both adult and children, are urged
to participate. There is also the
opportunity for organizations to
participate in the packing day which
will be Saturday, March 5 at 9 AM at
the Fluvanna Community Church,
3363 Fluvanna Avenue, Jamestown.
Since its inception during WWII,
the Blue Star Mothers organization
has existed to provide support for
active duty service personnel, to
promote patriotism, and to assist
veterans’ organizations in our
communities. As proud mothers
who now have or have had children
honorably serving in the US
Military and who are ready to fight
for the protection of this country,
the Blue Star Mothers look for
ways to encourage and support US
troops as they also support each
other in their journey.
The Blue Star Mothers spend over
$10,000 each year in postage alone
for their care packages. Through the
generous support of the community
through direct donations and
fundraisers, they have been able
to realize their goals for these
drives. As many who have served
know, these packages provide
more than some necessities; they
provide the encouragement and
support needed during the time of
separation from friends and family.
The Blue Star Mothers are
interested in obtaining the names
and addresses of any deployed
military personnel, whether they
have local ties or not. Please
forward any information to
