Insurance – Managing Your Risks

storms and weather-related disasters—
an all-time record—and some of the
largest property insurance payouts in
U.S. history—14 storms doing more
than $1 billion in damages—customer
satisfaction with the insurance industry
boosted its batting average up to .833
on a 1,000-point scale in 2012. That is
10 points higher in satisfaction than in
2011. The Northeast Region, however,
beat the national average with an 18
point jump in approval. Auto owners
also ranked their insurance satisfaction
quite favorably, with scores as high as
.873 for some companies. (Statistics:
J.D. Power and Assoc.)
Satisfaction is hard to achieve, when
payouts remind you of the disasters
that triggered them. Satisfaction begins,
however, with customer relationships,
not payouts. Local insurance agents
provide for special relationships to
assure a customer that his or her
personal needs are considered. In closeknit communities typical of Western
New York, agents and staff in every
office are likely to be friends, neighbors
or friends of neighbors. In this day of
on-line shopping, the insurance industry
offers a refreshing social anchor within
every neighborhood.
The principle behind your insurance
is simple. Lots of people pay a little bit
of money into a very big pool. If one
of those people has a certain highly
unlikely accident, the pool is big
enough to pay that person’s damages.
For example, in more than 130,000,000
U.S. households, an average of only 47
deaths occurred from lightning hitting
the house during the first decade of the
2000s (NFPA).
Of the nearly 11,000,000 vehicles on
New York State roads and highways, 95
percent are insured. On the other hand,
only 80 to 85 percent of Americans
have health insurance. As the number
of insured drops, the risk is shared by
fewer, and the premiums must go up.
On the other hand, while relatively few
people are killed by lightning, almost
everybody gets sick; the higher the risk,
the higher the premium.

Are
You an
Artist?
You have something to say! If you don’t think
so, just wait a minute… Pretty soon you will see
something you really don’t like, or somebody will
cut you off in traffic or you might even happen
to glance at somebody truly glamorous in People
Magazine. Then you will have something to say. All
you need to do is try to say it well and you’re on
your way to being an artist, at least in words.
Jonathan Swift, 18th Century political satirist and
author of Gulliver’s Travels, said, “Vision is the art
of seeing what is invisible to others.” And isn’t that a
common experience for all of us? How many times
have you seen or heard something that other people
have passed over, missed or just plain ignored? If
you married your dream hunk or the girl of your
dreams, you saw something nobody else saw then. If
you have your own eye for beauty, for finer qualities,
you have an art all your own.
Your sense of beauty might be worth sharing with
others. It will make you an artist to share what you
have a special art for. “Every human is an artist. The
dream of life is to make beautiful art,” according to
the modern Mexican writer Don Miguel Ruiz.
This week The Jamestown Gazette invites you to
one of the places where art comes to life on the
stage, in a gallery or night club or even on the radio.
The Arts Council for Chautauqua County and The
Reg Lenna Civic Center are dedicated to bringing
beauty into all of our lives on a daily basis. And even
better, they are encouraging you to step in and take
part, not only as a spectator but as a participant.
January 14, 2013
Their message is simple: that a community which
encourages, supports and fosters the arts empowers
its citizens to think, work and live creatively.
Consider your work or your every day life an
opportunity to think creatively. If the same old
same old is getting you down, maybe the fault is
yours, in part, and so is the opportunity. Bring your
creativity, your special art for seeing things only you
can see, to your work, your leisure and to your play.
When you bring that special passion to your work,
you might do amazing things. Go to page 8 in this
week’s edition of The Jamestown Gazette and read
Bill Burk’s account of Coach Walt Thurnau, one
of the newest Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame
Inductees. If it is art to make beautiful pictures
with smears of paint or beautiful stories with
lines of words, imagine what great art it is to mold
young athletes into men and women of strength,
accomplishment and integrity.

You have the art within you and you live and work
in a community committed to inspiring you to
bring it out, even to let it out because it wants you
to express it. Your community will thank you for
expressing what only you have to offer. You are, after
all, an artist.

Joanne Tanner, Master Gardener
January, how do you feel? Is it the month
that brings you a ‘let down’ after all the
hoopla for Christmas and New Year’s?
Is it just a time to rest, or maybe time
to start that new health program you
promised for a ‘New Years’ Resolution?
As a plant lover I find myself missing the
green landscapes as we are now in the
middle of a snow covered winter. One
solution; I do enjoy taking a walk thru
a park, listening to the silence of the air
and the crunch of the snow below my feet
and seeing the wonderful evergreen pines
standout in the landscape. But if this isn’t
enough, can’t get to Florida, and you find
yourself shopping for floral sheets on the
internet, ( January has the greatest white
sales of the year by the way) then it’s time
to take action. Sometimes I think living
up North in Western NY our mental
health depends on it!
Road Trip
We are lucky enough to live in an area
that is easily accessible to so many
attractions. Visit the Erie County
Botanical Gardens in Lackawanna, NY.
A tropical world under a dome with
plant displays from Dinosaur Topiary
and tropical forest to Cacti gardens. And
something new this January 21st is the
Grand Opening of the ‘Wegmans Family
Garden’. It’s an inside Children’s Garden
created for meaningful play and discovery
for children of all ages and abilities. Kids
can explore the wonders of the plant
world and the importance of eating
healthy. Visitors will be able to plant, dig,
build, explore and more as they engage
in both free play and structured learning.
Regular nutrition/food themed kids’
hands-on programming will take place
each Saturday from 10:30-11am and 1111:30am and programs are appropriate
for ages 4-10. See www.buffalogardens.
com for more info. While your kids are
in the program explore the gardens and
gift shop.
Feel like adventuring out even further?
Across the border we have the Butterfly
Conservatory located on the grounds
of the Niagara Parks Botanical Gardens
in Canada. And in their words, “This
magical attraction features over 2,000
colorful tropical butterflies floating
freely among lush, exotic blossoms and
greenery”. See www.niagaraparks.com for
more info. I can’t imagine a better way to
step out of winter.
Another I’ve yet to visit is Bird Kingdom
in Niagara Falls, Ontario. It is the largest
January 14, 2013
Staying home? Use this month to check
your houseplants:
Buy a New Houseplant. Divide and
re-pot any pot-bound plants. Prune
judiciously to create a compact, attractive
specimen. Then use the clippings to start
new plants by placing them in vases of
water or trays with vermiculite and water.
Keep holiday poinsettias in a sunny, cool
location with high humidity.
Closely inspect houseplants. Remove
aphids from houseplants with a mixture
of equal parts rubbing alcohol and water
and add a drop of dishwashing detergent.
Apply this to troubled plants with a soft
brush or cloth.
Group houseplants to increase humidity.
Keep away from frosty windowsills.
Provide extra protection to houseplants
on window sills if it is very cold. Place
cardboard between the plants and the
glass. Be sure the plants don’t touch the
windowpanes.
Check any summer bulbs and tubers
you may have stored to determine if
moisture is okay. Repack bulbs that seem
too damp, discarding any moldy ones. If
bulbs seem too dry, try moving them to
another location.
Start a garden record book now, allowing
space to record the dates of first and last
frosts, seed-planting dates, transplanting,
time of bloom, first fruit, fertilizing,
problems with pests, and what worked
and didn’t work. Over a period of years,
this will be an invaluable record.
Research plants and plan your garden,
make a diagram drawn to scale before
placing your spring order. Start ordering
seeds. Do not wait until late in the winter,
as varieties may sell out early.

Article Contributed by
Jamestown Harmony Express
The Jamestown Harmony Express has
chosen David Lewis “Barbershopper
of the Year” (BOTY) as the most
deserving member of the Jamestown
chorus. The award is given to a
worthy recipient each year and is
based on guidelines that indicate a
member’s contribution to the society
on a local, district and international
basis.
Mr. Lewis has been a Barbershopper
for twenty seven years and has
received the BOTY award for a third
time. A dedicated person, David has
offered his talents to several chapters
for those many years. He has been
a member of four chapters: the
Chautauqua County chapter, the
Warren, PA chapter, the Batavia, NY
chapter and the Jamestown chapter.
He has been an assistant director and
a front line director for fifteen years
and is sought by chorus and quartets
for coaching. He has attended
Harmony College in St. Joseph
MO, has attended every Senecaland
convention and many international
conventions in his time in the
organization. He has been a member
of five registered quartets and has
competed in district and international
competitive conventions.
David lives in Silver Creek, NY and
is a chef at SUNY at Fredonia and
the Lily Dale Assembly. With those
culinary skills he has often favored the
chapter with many dinners over the
years. Truly a Barbershopper that is
desverving of the “Barbershopper of
the Year” designation.

January is National Mentoring Month. Pictured above is Purity with her mentor,
Wendy Larson.
Chautauqua Striders
This month marks the 12th anniversary of National
Mentoring Month. In his recent proclamation,
President Barack Obama, fully recognizing the
impact of a mentoring relationship on young person
said, “Our American family is bound together by
caring individuals who make it their mission to serve
others. During National Mentoring Month, we pay
special tribute to the men and women who enrich the
lives of our young people and fortify the unbreakable
bonds between one generation and the next. A
supportive mentor can mean the difference between
struggle and success.”
Too many children lack strong and sustained
relationships with caring and nurturing adults.
Without these connections, young people are more
vulnerable to poor school attendance, decreased
academic performance, and inappropriate or
“risky” behaviors such as alcohol abuse, drug
abuse, or promiscuous sexual experimentation.
Responsible and caring adults help them recognize
there is someone “out there” who cares for them
and is willing to show them alternate paths to take
and alternative futures to strive for and attain.
Mentors have the unique opportunity to open new
horizons for their matches as they explore worlds of
discovery, improve their self-esteem, and increase
their independence. By the same token, mentors
themselves are enriched and rewarded in ways never
imagined, by giving freely of their own time and
talents. As Pam Holmberg expressed it, “My heart
is full for mentoring. More and more I see the value
that this program brings. So often I wish that I were
doing more because I see the need. To be invited
into the life of another is an honor.”
Nationally, there are upwards of 18 million young
Americans waiting for that special person to walk
into their lives. Chautauqua Striders currently has
95 matched youth but there are many more who still
ask, “Can I have a mentor?” Chautauqua Striders’
mentoring programs have been able to put together
very successful matches. To date, the average
school-based (interaction takes place during school
lunch periods) mentoring pair lasts 21 months,
far surpassing the national average of 5.6 months.
Additionally, community-based (interaction takes
place after school hours) relationships last on average
Jamestown Gazette
37 months, compared to the national average of nine
months.
Statistically, according to a study by Big Brothers, Big
Sisters, children in these relationships are 52% less
likely to skip school than their peers and 37% less
likely to skip class. Students do not just decide to
drop out of school one day but rather, their decision
is based on a culmination of disappointment and
disengagement. Children between nine and fifteen
are most likely to be at a turning point in their
lives and mentoring during these years can have a
significant impact on their futures. According to an
interesting article by Colin Beavan, PhD., human
brains evolved to raise children in groups; there is
a biological need to nurture. He hypothesizes that,
“…isn’t it possible most of us would feel better by
helping each other, by using our brains for what they
were designed for – social relatedness and helping
each other get through this thing called life.”
Chautauqua Striders spends nearly $1,400.00 per
year on each mentoring match for recruitment,
screening, training, group activities, and relationship
monitoring. Mentors are well supervised; everyone
receives adequate training and support, as he or
she accepts responsibility for being with a child on
a regular basis. On a broader scale and prompted
by the Corporate Mentoring Challenge, companies
are being asked to step up by encouraging their
employees to get involved and they are providing
opportunities for them to do so within the work day.
Recognizing the need for strong and positive adult
role models for children and youth of all ages is
nothing less than a priority, mentoring has become
one of the fastest growing facets of Chautauqua
Striders. Beginning in 1993, programs have
flourished in Jamestown, and have now spread
to various other school districts in Chautauqua
County. However, mentors are very much needed in
every locale. The time spent with a young person is
relatively short but the rewards for both mentor and
“mentee” can be beyond measure!

A display about Amelia Bedelia catches the attention of Mariah Crandall of Jamestown.
Prendergast Library will observe Amelia’s 50th birthday with children and offer other
activities for adults during Doors Open Jamestown.

‘Doors Open’ Events
Prendergast Library
Prendergast Library will offer events
for children and adults during the
annual observance of Doors Open
Jamestown on Saturday, Jan. 19.
“We invite the community to join us
as we showcase what the library has to
offer,” said Acting Director Tina Scott.
The Children’s Room will be
celebrating the 50th birthday of
Amelia Bedelia, a title character who
has inspired laughter and a love of
reading among many families since a
series of children’s books featuring her
was launched in 1963.
Staff members will light candles and
sing happy birthday to Amelia every
hour on the hour from 11 a.m. to 3
p.m., and serve cake and refreshments
from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. Those
attending will have a chance to meet
Amelia, sign a giant birthday card,
make an Amelia Bedelia hat, and play
“Pin the Pie” on an Amelia figure.
“There will be plenty of photo ops,
a chance to watch some of Amelia’s
mixed-up antics, and even door
prizes,” according to Annie Greene,
head of family literacy.
The library’s adult services staff is
also participating in Doors Open
by offering 30-minute “Gems of
our Library” tours from 11 a.m.
until 3 p.m. Tour stops include the
Fireplace Room, Literacy Center,
and Information Desk. Those eager
to learn more about the library’s
resources and services will be able to
participate in a scavenger hunt, and
book prizes will be awarded to many
winners.

$1,000 and $2,000.
In 1992, after 40 years of providing
financial assistance to religious and
non-religious nonprofit organizations
as a separate entity, the Karl Peterson
Fund became a permanent part of the
Community Foundation.
In 2006, Gary, Charles, Christopher
and Scott Lynn approached the
Community Foundation to establish
a fund that would help religious and
non-religious charitable activities
throughout the Chautauqua region
continue their mission. Jason Lynn,
his wife Billie and their sister Tiffany
have also aided in making the Lynn
Family Foundation Fund as successful
as it is today.
In 2012, the Community Foundation
awarded more than $30,000 through
the Karl Peterson and Lynn Family
Foundation Funds to Infinity Visual
and Performing Arts, Falconer United

female) in the park and immediately
takes a liking to her. He brings her
home.
When Greg’s wife Kate arrives home,

days before they decide whether
she can stay longer. Greg becomes
obsessed with Sylvia, and Kate fears
their marriage is falling apart.
The production received a Drama

A Tribute to Walt Thurnau,
Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame Inductee
It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
Harry S. Truman
Contributing Writer
Bill Burk
Region III Coach of the Year in 2002, and in
2004 was named the NJCAA National Man
of the Year. He coached two high school
All-State wrestlers (Ed Pawlak and Jimmy
Nelson) and two NJCAA All-Americans
(Dan Rosemier and Dusty Truver). He was
president of the Southern Tier Wrestling
Coaches’ Association and for more than 25
years he ran the youth wrestling program at
Southwestern, and a Life Time Service Award
from the Western NY Chapter of the National
Wrestling Hall of Fame.
Harry Truman is Walt Thurnau’s favorite
Democrat (a decidedly short list); he told me
so. At the 32nd annual Chautauqua Sports
Hall of Fame induction banquet on February
18 at the Lakewood Rod & Gun Club, “Coach”
Thurnau will join the distinguished members
of that institution. I can’t guarantee how the
ceremony will unfold, but I can guarantee
that he will deflect credit like a real life mirror,
reflecting excellence and competence back
onto the crowd. That’s simply the way he
is, unassuming and deferential. Ask him
to comment on his hall of fame career and
he’ll say, “…the credit goes to (my assistant
coaches) and so many more. They did all the
work and all the heavy lifting. It’s all due to
those people and the hundreds of young men
that sacrificed so much and worked so hard to
make the program successful. It’s all a tribute
to them.”
Sorry Coach, but that day in February
will be a tribute to you; credit coming
due, Harry Truman will have to get over
it. Witness Coach’s remarkable resume;
member of the Western New York Wrestling
Coaches Association Hall of Fame, 36
year Southwestern High School coach
where he led his Trojans to two Section 6
Division 1 championships, won a Class B-2
Championship, coached 17 state qualifiers and
posted an overall record of 297-97. He was
named the Southern Tier Coach of the Year in
1998 and in 1994-95 he picked up his 200th
career victory and went 14-0 in dual matches
and 9-0 in Division 1. After retiring from
teaching he started a second coaching career
at Jamestown Community College where he
helped 19 wrestlers qualify for the NJCAA
National Tournament, and was named the

influence–wrap your mind around the lives
influenced. Hundreds of direct contacts
with his student-athletes over the years, and
thousands of attached limbs growing from the
body of work; every year more young men
soaking up life lessons generated from Coach.
I had the great pleasure of working with Coach
Thurnau, and this is the legacy he leaves with
me:
3 Every day during wrestling season -for 9
straight years-I watched him grab the mop
and clean the mats. Every single day.
3 Every home tournament I watched him roll
mats and carry them up a flight of bleachers
to get the facility ready for practice the next
day.
3 Every year he came into my office and
asked for LESS than he deserved and LESS
for his team in order to make the Jayhawk
athletics department stronger.
3 Every year he came to me with issues of
budget, eligibility, staffing, equipment, and
practice schedule, AND with solutions that
turned those issues into non-issues.
Walt Thurnau
Those are the tangible accolades. Moreover
his legacy will be measured by the men he
mentored. If you’re in the world of wresting in
Chautauqua County, you recognize the list of
his protégés; Craig Swanson-Jamestown HS,
P.J. Wendel-Falconer, Todd Conley-Randolph,
Chris Fairbanks and Dusty Truver-Jamestown
Community College, Tyler Northrup, Jeff
Swan, John Conley, Dayne Priester and Chris
Certo- SW Youth Wrestling, Tim ThurnauWest Seneca East HS and JCC, David and
Mikel Bush-Freedom HS, Russ GermaineMarshall HS, Jimmy Nelson, Tim Stevens, Ken
Trimmer, and Doug Baer-Southwestern, Lou
Golando-Wrestling Official, Dave GolandoDunkirk, Scotty Wendel North Carolina.
Jamestown Gazette
3 And every year I knew I could count on
him for whatever was needed to make JCC
a better place.
If you know Coach Thurnau you know what
it means to bite the bear; you know what his
“senior moments” add up to; you understand
that he’s “haingin’ in.” You also know that
when Coach shakes your hand it stays shook.
He’s one of those men who’s figured it out;
happy satisfaction, the patience to understand
what can be done, confident that he can either
do it, or be okay with the idea that he cannot.
The accolades and awards have piled up for
Coach Thurnau, but they are almost ethereal
and secondary compared to what he has
accomplished when you realize the lessons
he’s taught by example. One measure of a man
is, after all, answering the question, each for
himself, would I want to be like him? For me
and Walt Thurnau, that answer is yes.

Heritage Ministries Adds New Equipment
to Rehabilitation Department
Heritage Ministries
Thanks to two years of generous funds raised
from the Heritage 5K Trick & Trot Run/Walk, the
Heritage Ministries Rehabilitation Department
was able to purchase four essential pieces of
equipment to help improve the quality of life for its
rehabilitation residents.
With the funds raised, two ultrasound machines
were purchased that will allow Heritage Ministries
to readily offer ultrasound therapy at each of its
three rehabilitation locations (Heritage Park –
Jamestown, Heritage Village – Gerry, and Heritage
Green – Greenhurst).
Ultrasound units, used by physical and occupational
therapists, deliver high frequency ultrasonic waves
into soft-tissue areas of the body. The ultrasound
therapy assists to increase blood flow to the treated
areas whereby speeding-up healing and decreasing
pain & swelling. Additionally, while providing the
ultrasound treatment, the area treated benefits from
a gentle massage.
Heritage Ministries also purchased two electronic
stimulation machines. The Electronic Stimulation
Machine works by providing neuromuscular
electrical muscle stimulation (NMES). The
delivery of NMES assists with muscle re-education,
prevention of muscle atrophy, while also assisting to
increase blood flow at the localized areas.

starting Cable 8 News. Doug also worked several
years with freelance television production crews on
events as varied as the NFL’s Super Bowl, NASCAR
and INDY Car Circuits, and traveled with the Mr.
Rogers Neighborhood television program.
In an effort to continue to improve and expand
the outreach of its human service organization,
Heritage Ministries is pleased to announce the
restructuring of its Office of Development and
Marketing. Doug Justham will manage the
department with an emphasis on fundraising
and serve as Team Leader for Senior Housing.
Mr. Justham joined Heritage Ministries in the
Fall of 2011 and leads the team responsible for
the operations of Heritage Village Retirement
Campus (Gerry, New York) and The Woodlands, a
Heritage Senior Living Community (West Ellicott,
New York). Chris Anderson returns to Heritage
Ministries as Marketing Manager after a year away
to manage the marketing functions, including
branding, advertising, promotions, web site,
media relations, public relations, print/electronic
communications, and special events. Mr. Anderson
previously worked for Heritage Ministries from
November 2007 to October 2011. Chris will also
focus on building an expanded social media and
online presence for the organization.
Doug and his wife, Susan, reside in West Ellicott,
along with their three sons; Jamison, Benjamin and
Noah. In his spare time, he enjoys amateur radio
and community service. He serves on the board at
St. Susan Center and is active with the American
Red Cross, C.E.R.T., the Celoron Volunteer Fire
Department, and as a Deacon with Lakewood
Baptist Church.
Prior to joining Heritage Ministries in 2007,
Mr. Anderson served as the Marketing
Communications Manager and Webmaster for
Acu-Rite in Jamestown. Most recently, Chris
worked for Miller Hall Financial ( Jamestown) and
Blair Corporation (Warren). After receiving his
Associate’s Degree from Jamestown Community
Doug Justham, Director of Development / Senior
College, Chris attended Slippery Rock University
Housing Team Leader
to earn his Bachelor’s Degree in 1996. In August
2011, Mr. Anderson completed his Master of
Business Administration (MBA) degree from Saint
Bonaventure in Olean.
Mr. Justham states, “It is a great privilege for me to
come to work on a daily basis knowing I get to serve
our residents and work with a great group of people
who truly believe the residents are family. I love
being able to make a difference in people’s lives and
Heritage gives me that opportunity.”
Chris and his wife, Amy, reside in Lakewood,
along with their two daughters and son; Emma,
Gracie, and Gavin. In his spare time, he enjoys
reading, golfing, skiing, and spending time with
his family. Chris is also an avid photographer. He
serves as a board member for Family Service of
the Chautauqua Region and is a member of the
Jamestown Rotary Club.
Mr. Anderson states, “I am truly blessed to have the
opportunity to come back ‘home’ to a wonderful
organization. I look forward to working tirelessly
to promote the quality care and services we provide
to so many Chautauqua County residents on a daily
basis.”
“I am thrilled to add such experienced, talented,
and quality individuals to the Heritage Ministries
family,” explains David Smeltzer, Executive
Director. “As a team, I am confident that Doug and
Chris will enable Heritage Ministries to effectively
communicate our mission to those we serve and
the community at large in order to increase the
visibility and outreach of our human service
ministries.”

Eileen Marsh, Dietary Assistant
at Hultquist Place Assisted Living
Program, was honored as Lutheran’s
2012 Employee of the Year at the
17th Annual Employee of the Month
Recognition Luncheon. “Today is
one of my most enjoyable days of
the year,” said Tom Holt, Lutheran
President and CEO. “I’m here among
the best of the best. You do such
important work for our seniors and
our youth. We are here to honor all of
you who make this a great place to live
and work.”
Eileen was caught off guard when her
name was announced at the event.
“I was totally surprised and thought
I was going to cry,” she said. “It feels
awesome and it’s a privilege to be
honored like this. I’m a people person
and I love working here. Everyone is
so special to me.”
Eileen has been an employee in the
dietary department for 17 years and
was chosen because she possesses
positive characteristics that make
Lutheran a destination of excellence.
She is known among staff, residents
and family for her ever present
trademark smile. “Eileen personally
knows each and every one of our
residents,” said Doug Frazier, General
Manager of Hospitality Services at
Lutheran. “Often times she will stop
in mid-stride to ensure their needs
are being met. She is also an excellent
listener who is compassionate and
sincere.”
The Richard D. Carlson Employee of
the Month/Year program was started
by Richard and Shirley Carlson in
honor of their son, Richard D. “Rick”
Carlson, who passed away in 2005. He
had been a long time resident at the
Lutheran Home.

Martin Luther King Programs Announced
Jamestown Community College
The legacy inspired by Martin Luther King Jr.’s campaign for civil
rights and peace will be commemorated during a residency by
documentary filmmaker and author Jen Marlowe at Jamestown
Community College’s Jamestown Campus.
The programs, free and open to the public, are sponsored by JCC’s
Faculty Student Association and college program committee
as well as the Katharine Jackson Carnahan Endowment for the
Humanities.
On Tuesday, January 22, Ms. Marlowe will present “Reflections on
Resistance” at 7 p.m. in JCC’s Scharmann Theatre. She will share
examples of the resilience and courage of individuals who have
suffered oppression and injustice in the Sudan, Israel, Palestine, and
the U.S. At the conclusion of her program, Ms. Marlowe will join
a dialogue on social activism with participants from JCC and the
Jamestown community.
In “Art as Activism,” which begins at noon on January 23 in
Scharmann Theatre, Ms. Marlowe will explore the role of media in
determining what messages we receive and whose voices we have
access to as well as how art can force us to challenge preconceived
assumptions.
“Rebuilding Hope,” an award-winning documentary by Ms.
Marlowe, will be shown at 7 p.m. on January 24 in the Student
Union, located in Hamilton Collegiate Center. The film follows
three Sudanese-American young men on their first trip back to
Sudan to discover whether their homes and families survived
the civil war and to build a school, drill wells, and bring medical
January 14, 2013
supplies to their villages.
Ms. Marlowe began her professional life using theatre as a platform
for students to tell their stories. She lived and worked in Jerusalem
from 2000 to 2004, using some of these same techniques to engage
in dialogue-based conflict resolution with Palestinian and Israeli
teenagers.
While working with youth in Afghanistan, Cyprus, India, Pakistan
and Bosnia-Herzegovina, Ms. Marlowe began using a video
camera to record messages being exchanged between Israeli and
Palestinian youth. Ultimately, she began to explore the idea of how
film can be used as both a tool of dialogue and activism.
In 2004, with colleagues Adam Shapiro and Aisha Bain, Ms.
Marlowe traveled to northern Darfur and eastern Chad to make the
documentary “Darfur Diaries: Message From Home.” She wrote
the accompanying book Darfur Diaries: Stories of Survival.
Ms. Marlowe’s book, The Hour of Sunlight, is co-authored with
and tells the story of Sami Al Jundi, a Palestinian from the Old City
of Jerusalem who spent ten years in Israeli prison for being involved
in militant anti-occupation activities as a youth. He has spent
the last two decades working toward nonviolence and peaceful
reconciliation between Israelis and Palestinians.
Other projects include her play There is a Field which addresses
issues faced by Palestinian citizens of Israel, a short documentary
film called “One Family in Gaza” profiling a family’s experience
during and after the 2009 assault on the Gaza Strip, and a book
about Troy Davis who was convicted in 1991 for the murder of
a police officer, and was executed in Georgia in September 2011
despite an international outcry over his strong case of innocence.

FaithMatters
It’s not about you
Contributing Writer
Pastor Scott Hannon
Rick Warren begins his book A Purpose Driven Life with a simple claim:
It’s not about you.
My response:
What do you mean?!
My parents always told me I was special. I got a trophy whenever I played a
sport. Teachers told me I could be and do anything. The media and wider
culture has trained me to put myself first. In my own little world I’m a big
deal! What do you mean it’s not about me?
In all honestly, I don’t really think I’m all that special. In fact, I know it’s not
all about me. My wife, daughter, brother, sister, parents, friends and total
strangers have done a great job informing me of that. But I could (I think
we all could) use another reminder of just what this life is really about.
When it comes to our faith life (which encompasses our family life,
professional life and personal life) it isn’t all about us. It’s all about God.
God claiming us as loved, before we can say a word.
God inviting us to a table even when we don’t deserve to be there.
God calling to us with a word of life even when we’re wandering and lost.
God welcoming us into a community
not because we’re “special” or “good”…
but because God loves us that much.
In scripture the Apostle Paul writes:
“Don’t be conformed to this world…”
(That is, don’t buy into this belief that it’s all about you.)
“But be transformed by the renewal of your minds…”
(That is, let God and faith shape your life.)
“And let love be genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good;
love one another with mutual affection; out do one another in showing
honor… Rejoice in hope, be patient in suffering, persevere in prayer.
Contribute to the needs of the saints; extend hospitality to strangers.”
Romans 12:1-12
(That is, don’t let your life be all about you.)
May we come to see that life is bigger than us, filled with grace, and all
about God.
In the Way,
Pastor Scott

Hootenannies, informal gatherings of

songs, were a popular fixture of the folk
music revival of the late 1950s and early
1960s. The casual format of the “hoot”
ensured a comfortable setting for seasoned

Infinity Visual & Performing Arts Café will
be the site of a 1960s-style hootenanny on
Friday evening, January 18, from 7:009:00 pm, hosted by the popular local folk
music duo, Doc & Bill. Admission is free,
and persons of all ages and skill levels are
encouraged to attend, as are those who
simply want to enjoy the experience of
hearing others sing and play.
“Although hootenannies hit their peak
popularity decades before Infinity was
created, they were very much in keeping
with what we are doing today,” said
Shane Hawkins, executive director of
the Jamestown-based organization. “Our
mission includes providing a diverse creative
experience for a wide cross-section of young
people, giving them a place to learn from
others and try out their skills in a nurturing
setting.”
In keeping with the format of early
hootenannies, the event will be strictly
unplugged; no sound amplification
for voices or instruments will be used.
Attendees are encouraged to bring
traditional acoustic folk instruments such
as guitars, banjos and mandolins, as well
as lyric sheets for songs they would like to
share with the group.

Doc & Bill will open the proceedings
with a couple of songs that were standard
hootenanny fare back in the day, and will
facilitate the festivities from there on out.
“My fondest memories of the original hoots
have to do with the joy of playing with other
people, and the confidence that grows from
that experience” said the duo’s Bill Drellow.
”It was impossible to feel self-conscious at
a hootenanny, or to not have a good time.”
Added John (“Doc”) Hamels, “We’ll all
be seated in a big circle on the floor of the
café, no microphones, no amps, in a setting
that’s even less pressured than an open
mic. In addition to bringing out younger
performers, we’d love to see people from our
generation dusting off guitars and banjos
they’ve kept under the bed for years.”

I Am Now 50 Years Old
Contributing Writer
Miss Judy Wroda
I woke up this morning not wanting to do anything
in particular. I crawled out from under the heavy,
warm comforter and went directly to the kitchen
and made a pot of coffee. Still yawning and
stretching, I clumsily went into the bathroom,
washed my face, brushed my teeth, wished I was
back under the comforter. I shuffled into the
living room, put some wood on the fire, took a
deep breath to enjoy the enticing aroma of the
rich coffee brewing in the next room. It was at
this time I opened the heavy drapes to see what
this morning had brought me. The sight of the
oversized snowflakes took my breath away. They
floated, rather than fell. They almost seemed to sit
delicately upon the already snow covered ground,
rather than crash into it with a thud. I felt the smile
awaken my facial muscles, I felt my heart skip a bit
in anticipation of a gorgeous winter day!
A whimsy came over me, one that beckoned me
to the wistfulness of carefree child’s play! Before
I even knew it, I had pulled on the clunky boots
and bundled up in my long coat. Mittens were on
and the scarf was wrapped tightly around my face!
I found myself outside, hands outstretched, face
upwards, laughter erupting from deep within my
soul! The dog ran about me, looking at the crazy
lady who was still in her nightgown, out playing
in the falling white flakes of snow! I twirled and
twirled, allowing the flakes to land on my face,
my hair! I closed my eyes and stood still, rejoicing
in the gift God had given me this morning! The
chilliness of the morning finally took over my
senses and I ran back inside the cabin. I shed the
coat and scarf, both now covered in the white stuff. I
went over to the kitchen and got a cup of coffee and
went back to stand in front of the window, gazing
and marveling at the beauty before me. I went into
my room and dressed quickly, putting on the warm
clothes and two pair of wooly socks. The long heavy
coat was back on and so were a fresh pair of gloves,
then back to the great outdoors, as they say!
The dog followed me back outside, now romping
and daring me to play with him. I picked up some
snow, made a little snow ball – dared him to come
get me, and then I threw it at him! He stood there,
a bit stunned, then the tail started wagging furiously
and the game was on! I will admit he can run
faster than I and his back and forth stalking of me
was quite hilarious! I stood still and threw hands
full of snow at him as he bounced and stumbled
through the deep snow - we played together! He
ran down the bank of the stream and I stopped to
let the wonderment overcome me. Here I am, now
50 years old, and I am playing in the snow. What
would my children ( now grown men ) think?
What would my grandchildren ( OMG ! ) think?
Ahhhh, who cares ! I was having fun!
I had to pick up my feet and take small steps due to
the depth of the snow. Quite deep, quite beautiful,
somewhat wet. Hmmmm . . . . I made the first
small snow ball and picked it up and patted it tight.
Good, firm, just right! I rolled that snowball until
it was too heavy for me to roll anymore! I was on
my knees in the snow pushing it for the last couple
of turns! I parked that huge snow ball right there
by the front porch then I went back up my trail
to make another one just a bit smaller! I got the
second snow ball made and had to get help to hoist
it up off the ground and atop the first large snow
ball! Then back to make the third ball! My fingers
and cheeks were quite frozen, but my heart was
rejoicing and the laughter freely came – echoing
in the valley, enticing anyone who was around to
laugh with me! What a wonderful third snowball!
I picked it up and heaved it up on the other two . . .
an almost perfect snowman! ( It would have been
perfect if it had been a snow woooman! Hahahah ! )
Now the finishing touches were needed. I made my
way through the snow over to the trees and found
two branches just crying out to be arms, so that
they became. Now, over to the evergreen to pluck
off some of the small red ornaments for buttons
and two green ornaments to use as eyes! I went
back to the snowman, pushed in the balls of red and
green then stood back to admire my handiwork.
Not bad for an old lady. I went into the cabin and
found some treasures in the refrigerator to use for
the mouth and nose, and then found an old scarf
on the hall tree. Back outside to finish up the job!
Just as I thought I was done, a cowboy hat was
tossed to me, so on went the cowboy hat! Wow!
What a snowman! He was close to six feet tall, with
red Christmas ornament buttons on his tummy
and a carrot for his nose! He had two small green
Christmas ornaments for his eyes and three smaller
carrots arranged for his smile! A bright scarf
encircled his nonexistent neck and a cowboy hat
graced his head ( held on by a thick icicle speared
through it - ingenuity at its best! ). I looked at my
snowman and thought he may need something else
to keep him warm, so back into the kitchen to find
what was missing! There, I found what he needs!
Back outdoors, tracking snow ( uh-oh! ) in and out
of the cabin, and right there beside him I laid the
half full bottle of wine ( letting it chill – that is my
excuse! ). Now, what more could any snowman
want ? !
The snow was still falling, only the flakes were just
a bit bigger now. The birds were scurrying about
trying to find breakfast, the dog was watching me,
totally bewildered by my childlike enthusiasm
and the breeze was just light enough to freeze the
droplets of moisture coming from the corner of my
eyes. I am now 50 years old. And today, I played in
the snow.

Insurance – Managing Your Risks
insurance agent is specially trained in the best, most
efficient methods of balancing risk against cost in
the science of risk management.
The insurance industry has grown a few lesser
known branches too. They are involved in every day
life in ways the average citizen may not expect.
If you offer a $1,000,000 prize, for instance, for
a hole-in-one hit on your golf course, you can
buy “hole-in-one insurance” to cover you on the
1-in-26,500 chance that a duffer will actually do
it. There’s even an entire Hole-in-One Insurance
Services Trade Association to protect sponsors of
“tee to hole” and “putt for dollars” types of contests.
Then there is the Prize Indemnity Insurance that
paid off after The Price Is Right’s “$1,000,000
Spectacular” produced three totally unexpected
millionaires in only six episodes in 2008. Show
producers had hoped it would be the rarest of
accidents, but they learned too late that they had
miscalculated the games’ chances of producing a
winner. The Price is Right changed the game.
Risk management means an individual can also
“change the game.” Insurance companies are more
and more frequently lowering premiums for people
who lower their risks. Health insurance can benefit
from weight loss, smoking cessation and other
sensible preventive activities. Auto insurance can
benefit from showing safer driving practices and a
no-accident history.
However, sky divers from 40,000 feet, 200+ mph
NASCAR drivers and NASA astronauts may still
experience some challenges in obtaining some
Jamestown Gazette
kinds of insurance. Only a good insurance agent can
tell.
Insurance is almost as ancient in human history as
risk. Chinese and Babylonian traders, as long ago
as 4,000 to 5,000 years, realized that merchants on
treacherous rivers or traveling where thieves and
pirates lurked needed to manage their risks. The
Chinese spread their wares among many vessels to
limit their losses; no single cargo could become a
total disaster. A Babylonian merchant who obtained
a loan to fund his shipment, could pay the lender
extra to cancel the loan if the shipment was stolen.
The methods may be different today, but not much
less creative when a good insurance agent sits
down with a client to map out all the risks and find
intelligent ways to manage them.

Doors Open
Jamestown 2013
Jamestown Community Chamber of Commerce
As you ease back into your regular schedule after a busy holiday
season, give yourself a gift - take some time to visit your hometown
treasures. Jamestown Community Chamber of Commerce will
once again present Doors Open Jamestown, a free day at your local
museums and attractions, on Saturday, January 19 from 10 AM to
4 PM. The Fenton History Center, Jamestown Audubon Society
and Nature Center, the Jamestown Savings Bank Ice Arena, the
Lucille Ball-Desi Arnaz Center, the Robert H. Jackson Center,
the Roger Tory Peterson Institute, the Reg Lenna Civic Center
and the Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame will be open for free
tours and other offers. The James Prendergast Library, Infinity
Performing Arts and the Lucile Wright Aviation Museum are also
part of Doors Open Jamestown this year. The newly restored ErieLackawanna Train Station is also open for tours. The event is in
its 8th year. Drawings will be held at the attraction venues for $50
Shoptauqua certificates and an item from the attraction’s gift shop.
The museums are also offering discounts in their gift shops. Doors
Open is an international event that focuses on encouraging local
residents to take advantage of their area attractions. Whether your
interest is in nature, art, history, sports or our famous hometown
personalities, Doors Open Jamestown offers something of interest
for everyone.
Downtown restaurants will also be open with specials during
Doors Open. These include Ricky Ricardo’s favorite, the Babalu
Café; the Cherry Lounge; Cibo’s, offering the Fenton Reuben and
the Desi Arnaz Cuban sandwiches; the Labyrinth with a Saturday
brunch and usual lunch items; Lisciandro’s with a burger, fries, and
drink special; Roberto’s; Sully’s; and The Pub, where Aunt Mary
will be serving sausage ravioli.
Approximately 2,100 residents and visitors took part in the event
last January. “If even half of them buy breakfast, lunch or dinner
it will be a great day for the local economy.” says Joni Blackman,
Director of the Fenton History Center.
The Audubon Center and Sanctuary, located at 1600 Riverside
Road, off Route 62 between Jamestown and Warren, welcomes
everyone to Doors Open. All day, enjoy our exhibits featuring
local wild amphibians, snakes and fish and animal study skins.
Join us for some winter activities. We will take what nature offers
us, and check out tracks in the snow or signs of winter activity
with family-friendly nature walks at 11:00 am and 1:00 pm. For
those who want to participate in a very special program, join us
for Beekeeping Basics from 10 am to noon. This class, taught by
beekeeper Dennis Lamonica, will go through the equipment you
need to start up a beekeeping operation. It will also go into an
overview of honeybees and the care they need. This program will
lead into a beekeeping series this spring that will walk beekeepers
through their first year of beekeeping. This is a program targeted
for adults, with a $12.00 registration fee. Please call Audubon at
569-2345 to reserve a place.
