Italian sausage and Irish corned beef on
rye. That’s a menu not likely to top the
restaurant charts anywhere but at the
2011 Saint James Parish Festival on July
9 and 10. The historically Italian Festival
also pays special tribute this year to
their Pastor, Fr. Darrell Duffy, their Irish
Deacon, Mike Lennon and their honored
Irish heritage. The previous pastor, Fr. Bob
Stelinski, brought pierogies and galumpkis
to the festival in earlier years as a gift from
his Polish ancestors.
Hot dogs and fried dough will add a bit of
American home town flavor to the festival,
in the good company of traditional Sicilian
specialties like cardoni, the peasant dish
of artichokes or burdocks, along with
stromboli, arancini, traditional Italian
135 E. Fairmount Avenue Lakewood, NY
baked goods and much more. The menu is
Double Strength a la carte and priced to encourage a hearty
Double Pane Glass appetite.

The high spirited and colorful Italian
Dancers will perform on Saturday
and Sunday afternoons.
However, according to Tom Franco, a long
time parishioner and festival organizer,
it is not all about food. “In a spirit of
community fellowship, our parishioners
open their house to welcome the town,”
Tom says. “We’ve been doing this since
the 1950s when this was a walking parish.”
Tom referred to the days when most
people attended neighborhood churches
they could walk to. “It started as a good
old church picnic.”
“We still see a lot of the old days flavor
in today’s festivals,” Tom says. “The old
neighborhood folk would sit all day and
just talk. That still happens because of
Softball-sized meatballs hand made by the dozens in preparation for the festival by Patty Franco and Sam Boscia, along with
many other talented volunteers.
the spirit everybody brings.” The good
food, music of the old country and lively
dancing all nourish both body and soul.
Since 2003 the festival has grown into
a much anticipated event in the city of
Jamestown. At 6 pm on Friday evening,
a cash bar and the Italian menu will open
for business. Popular favorites will include
Muffaletta Paninis, Meatball Subs and
Gaetano’s famous Pasta Salad. But in
addition to these time honored traditions,
there is always something new. This year
a new musical chapter of the festival will
open on Friday July 8th in the Big Tent at
27 Allen Street.
At 7 pm, music begins with the
Chautauqua Big Band Swing (Formerly
Germaine & Pappalardo) until 9 pm. The
music and dancing are free, open to the
whole community, and will also provide
a chance to help local youth succeed with
a quality education. Free will donations
will be accepted to benefit The Catholic
Academy of the Holy Family School.
On Saturday morning, July 9th, the tent
will reopen at 11:30 for music and food
without interruption until 9:00 pm.
Featured acts on Saturday will include
include “It’s Broadway” with the Lettieris,
Doc & Bill, offering up a serenade of
rousing Irish folksongs, Take Two and the
Caribbean sound of the Kokomo Time
Band.
Sunday the featured act will be Saint
James’ own parishioners, Ross & Chuck,
of “Happy Days.” Saturday and Sunday
will also feature a return of the popular
and spirited St. James Parish Italian
Heritage Dancers with Joe Iuculano on the
accordion.
“Our parishioners at St. James Parish
come together every year to share time,

an iTalian FeSTival–
a Great example
Next weekend, July 8-10, make your way to the Saint James Festival and consider its purpose. It is
a Feast of Fellowship, food and fun in support of people committed to supporting our community.
They hope their generosity will encourage yours.
Maybe an example out of the (good?) old days can offer us all a little perspective.
The King of Sicily’s son, the Count of Anjou, gave a feast in the year 1455 for some of his friends.
Perhaps they hadn’t heard of the Seventh Deadly Sin of Gluttony. The wealthy sat at table. The
peasants got to watch.
The first course (of five):
One brace of rabbits, One quarter of stag, salted overnight, One stuffed chicken and a loin of veal
covered in a German sauce, with gold-leaf encrusted sugar-plums and pomegranate seeds. Having
whetted the appetite, they cut themselves a slice of: One (enormous) pie containing, One whole
roe-deer, One gosling, Three capons, Six chickens, Ten pigeons, One young rabbit with a stuffing of
minced loin of veal, Two pounds of fat and Twenty-six hard-boiled eggs.
The Second Course
One roe-deer, One pig, One sturgeon cooked in parsley and vinegar, covered with powdered ginger,
One goat, Two goslings, Twelve chickens and Twelve pigeons, Six young rabbits, Two herons, One
leveret, One fat capon, stuffed, Four chickens covered with yolks of eggs and sprinkled with spices.
Then top it all off with One wild boar. And so on, for three more courses!
Buon Appetito!
By now, you know the Saint James Festival stems from a very different tradition. It offers you great
food, music and dancing to bring our whole community together, to celebrate fellowship and a
truly generous spirit. It all comes from the hearts of parishioners who care about the people in
their neighborhoods. Simply consider that every year in the United States we throw away 96 billion
pounds of food… and then let the Saint James Festival encourage us all to share just a little more
wherever our help can make a difference.
But if you do enjoy it all just a little more than you should, head on down to Hollyloft on Tuesday
and just cycle away that little addition to your muffintop. You’ll find some good people there too.
The Jamestown Gazette, as always, aims to bring you the good news and the news you need to know
to grow a great community.

talents and treasures with each other and with our community,”
Tom Franco says. Volunteers prepare all the “festival foods”
for the booths. The Italian Bakery booth provides home made
cookies and cannolis made by the ladies of the Altar & Rosary
Society. Each food booth showcases a different delicacy; fried
dough, pepperoni balls, arancini (Sicilian stuffed fried rice balls),
eggplant parmesan, pasta with meatball, tripe, sausage, cardoni
(Italian artichoke, or burdock), Stromboli, pizza, hot dogs,
cannolis, and more. A full line of soft drinks and adult beverages
is always on hand.
Saint James Church merged with Our Lady of Victory
Oratory in Frewsburg in 2008, now called The Holy Apostles
Parish, and continued the festival tradition centered on the
predominant Italian heritage. Meanwhile, another Italian
festival tradition honored by the parishioners of Jamestown’s
Saint John’s Church also continues and will be celebrated later
this summer, in August.
Franco, his friends and fellow parishioners, remind folks who
come to the festival that food and drink are actually ancient,
Biblical symbols of fellowship and hospitality. The Book of
Psalms, (104: 14,15) specifically assures people that “God
brings forth…wine that gladdens the heart of man, oil to make
his face shine, and bread that sustains his heart.” Tom Franco
adds, with a wink and a smile, “We also recall that St Paul told
his friends in the city of Philippi, “Let your moderation be
known unto all men.”
In addition to supporting The Catholic Academy of the Holy
Family School, Saint James was designated as an “Outstanding
community of Salt and Light” by Catholic Charities of Buffalo for
such community service as operating the St. James Thrift Store,
working with the St. Vincent de Paul Society, the Peace and
Justice Committee and Jamestown’s own St. Susan Soup Kitchen,
feeding the hungry and homeless of the community.
Tom says the festival, the fun and fellowship, also serve a higher
purpose. “Our focal point is really the same as every weekend.
It is the celebration of our Catholic Mass.” The Latin origin
of the word “Mass” is also found in “mission,” the sending of
Christians into the world. Whether with a festival or a Mass, a
call is answered to serve the world. The Masses on this festival
weekend, and every weekend, are Saturday at 4:30 pm and
Sunday at 8 and 11 am. “Come join us in sharing our faith in the
living Jesus Christ who is our salvation,” Tom Franco urges.

Festival and The Holy Apostles Parish, Jamestown Gazette

GolF inJuRieS
Golf may look like an easy game to play, hitting a stationary
object with a club into a relatively wide open space, but think
again. Many amateur golfers, especially those who lack proper
technique, may suffer from acute or overuse injuries.
“The most common golf injuries involve the elbow, the low
back and the shoulder,” said Michael Mitchell, MD., Fellowship
Trained Sports Medicine Physician, Medical Director of the
WCA Hospital Sports Medicine Program. “In the amateur golfer
it is felt poor swing mechanics. When you look at the professional
golfer it is just believed to be the high volume of hitting they do,
and it’s been shown if you golf more than four times a week or hit
more than 200 balls a week, you are more likely to have an injury.”
According to the Journal of the American Osteopathic
Association, most golf injuries can be prevented by the player
developing proper swing mechanics, which makes it less likely
that he or she will develop overuse injuries. Proper swing
mechanics are best taught by a golf professional during multiple lessons until the swing has become
“grooved.” However, even with a good swing mechanics, hitting 200 golf balls in an afternoon can
still produce repetitive microtrauma-type injuries.
Mitchell says, “If you have a golf injury, it is always a good idea to have a professional to look at your
swing and make sure your swing mechanics and your grip are good. It is also a good practice not
to carry a golf bag. Actually, a study has shown you have a higher incidence of back and shoulder
incidents if you carry your own bag as apposed to pulling your bag in a cart. A good warm-up is a
great way to prevent golf injuries.”
If you have a golf injury it may be a good idea to reduce how much you golf, and rest a bit. Generally
speaking, if you are talking about something like an elbow overuse injury, like a tendonitis, it’s good
to see a doctor or physical therapist and put on some stretching and some strengthening exercises
for the elbow. Sometimes we use things like elbow straps to take the pressure off the tendon. It’s
good to be in overall good aerobic fitness. Studies have shown the more fit you are; the less likely
your muscles are to get fatigued on the golf curse and less likely to have an overuse injury.”
As with any type of overuse injury, prevention is the best treatment. Therefore, all golfers should
attempt to get themselves into some sort of reasonable physical condition. Certainly, they should
take golf lessons if they are in any way serious about the sport. The Sports Medicine Program at
the WCA Center For Orthopedics, Sports Medicine & Rehabilitation treats golf injuries and other
sports related injuries and illnesses in athletes of all ages. To schedule an appointment, call (716)
664-8604 and get back into the game!

Prendergast Library will play host to Dave Ruch of Buffalo at noon
Tuesday, July 12, in its Fireplace Room to kick off the Summer
Reading Program.
The performer, who sings and plays a variety of instruments, will lead
children on a musical journey during a program he designed in honor
of “One World, Many Stories,” this year’s New York State Summer
Reading theme.
As he talks about various parts of the world, Ruch will show children
instruments such as a guitar, Indian tabla drum, European octave
mandolin, and traditional Native American cowhorn rattles. Those
attending are encouraged to participate by answering questions,
playing musical games, acting out songs, and singing along in several languages.
Ruch’s Jamestown appearance, which is free and open to the public, is made possible through support from The
United Arts Appeal.
“This event has been designed as a special treat for everyone who is participating in the Summer Reading Club
and those who still may wish to join. If children haven’t signed up yet, this would be a great time to do so,” said
Children’s Librarian Valle Blair.
Ruch is a member of the New York State Historical Association, Canal Society of New York State, New York
Folklore Society, Western New York Association of Historical Agencies, the Association of Teaching Artists and
the New York State Reading Association.
He gives hundreds of concerts and workshops each year for schools, music festivals, libraries, historical societies,
professional conferences, folk music organizations, museums and community events throughout New York,
Pennsylvania and Ohio.
“This is a great opportunity for families to experience the arts and share an educational activity together,
especially now that schools are closed for the summer,” Mrs. Blair said.
For more information about the event, call 484-7135, Ext. 234. The library is located at 509 Cherry St., Jamestown.

or through a chain,
a chain of countless people.
I attended the graduation of an old student (and current
babysitter) a few weeks ago. We adore Tori, and looked
forward to watching her walk across the stage, concluding
her public education and heading on to college. Ever
prepared, I packed snacks and drawing paper for Stephanie
in case she got bored.
It could brighten the entire day of someone,
or maybe even uplift your own.
It’s capable of masking emotions,
yet it can also express them.
It is something extremely simple,
that only takes a few muscles to perform.
It’s something we do everyday,
it occurs without us noticing.
All it is, is a smile,
a simple smile is all it takes.
My inspiration of this piece was very random for me. I had sat down to brainstorm
ideas for a poem, while I was listening to my iPod. “Fifteen” by Taylor Swift started
playing, so I thought of the idea to write a poem and the freshman experience of a girl.
A line in the song says “…hoping
those senior
boys will wink at you…”, after
Weekoneofof7/4/11
- 7/10/11
that line had played I thought of a smile. I’ve always believed that a smile at someone
you pass, could uplift their spirits. This changed the subject of my poem from being in
high school, to a simple smile; which is what the title of my piece is.
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.

When the adult versions of these same kids came striding
into the auditorium, I barely recognized them. When did
this happen? I looked at Stephanie. This was going to happen
to her? She was going to become this tall? Go to dances?
Find a summer job? Graduate? Grow up?? I suddenly missed
my son, who is only going into second grade, but still, my
newborn baby is going into second grade!
It was a great kick off to our summer, because with all of
us home together, it’s easy to wish for some “me” time.
Commencement is a great reminder that I’ll get more than
enough of that later, so I refuse to wish this away. Even
when Andrew wants me to be goalie at 7:00 A.M, or when
Stephanie’s got “something very important” to tell me
(again). I will not take it for granted.
Congratulations to all of the graduates, and if you are the
parent of a young child and miss having a complete thought,
I recommend you attend a graduation ceremony next year.
It will give you an excellent perspective!

Sitting in Maple Grove Auditorium, I scanned a list of the
graduates. Images of their fourth and fifth grade selves
popped into my head, and a video montage revealing
treasured memories played while we waited for the students
to pomp and circumstance their way into the auditorium.
Pictures of the graduates as preschoolers, elementary
students, and finally as high school seniors flashed on the
screen, and I was shocked to find myself getting choked up.
It goes so fast…I remember Sarah’s giggles, Mitchell’s shy
smile, and Kayla being nervous about her book report like it
happened this morning.

From left hospital leadership present the Nurse of Distinction award: Ann
Downing, R.N., MS, Vice President of Nursing at WCA Hospital; Shelly
Deuble, R.N., 2011 Nurse of Distinction award recipient; Ruth Walton,
R.N., BSN, WCA Hospital Nurse Manager.
Michele (Shelly) Deuble, R.N. at WCA Hospital
received the Distinguished “2011 Nurse of Distinction”
for outstanding achievement in the field of nursing from
WCA. The honor was given during a special breakfast
held in recognition of National Nurses Week.
The distinguished tradition at WCA Hospital began in
1989 when Elaine Hoglin was selected the first “Nurse of
Distinction”.
“Nurses play a central role in delivering high-quality,
patient-centered care at WCA,” said Betsy T. Wright,
WCA Hospital President/CEO. “Our timeless tradition
of celebration is one that recognizes the exceptional
work of our nursing staff and we take this special
opportunity to extend our thanks and appreciation
to Shelly for exceeding our patients’ expectations and
WCA Hospital awards the distinction to an outstanding
Registered, Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree Nurse who
exemplifies the mission and vision of WCA Hospital.
The award is given to a nurse who displays outstanding
achievement; is a role model; possesses professional
standards and leadership skills; is an advocate for
healthcare and the nursing profession; and is involved
in his or her community. The honoree is nominated
by his or her colleagues and selected by the Nurse of
Distinction Committee comprised of recipients from
previous years.
In recent years, emphasis on improving the quality of
care provided by the nation’s hospitals has increased
significantly and continues to gain momentum. Given
that nurses are integral to inpatient care, nurses are
pivotal in hospital efforts to enhance quality. Deuble was
awarded recognition for her leadership for improving
quality patient care initiatives. In presenting the
coveted award, Ann Downing, R.N., MS, Vice President
of Nursing at WCA Hospital said, “As special care’s
representative of the nursing quality improvement team,
Shelly affects outcomes and process improvements.
She has taken on a leadership role in improving
patient satisfaction initiatives to reduce falls, improve
communication, and minimize the pain experienced by
our patients. She serves as an inspiration and role model
to our nursing staff and we are very proud to recognize
her as Nurse of Distinction.”
Jamestown Gazette
Ruth Walton, R.N., BSN, Special Care Nurse Manager at
WCA added, “Shelly is an excellent friend, wife, mother,
and especially an excellent nurse. She is well-deserving
of the accolades she has received and the honor of being
named WCA’s 2011 Nurse of Distinction.”
Shelly joined the WCA Hospital family in 1978 as
a Licensed Practical Nurse, graduating from the
Jamestown Practical School of Nursing. She continued
her education while raising a family and working
full-time and received an Associate of Nursing Degree
from Jamestown Community College in 2002 at
which time she was promoted to a Registered Nurse
position. Recognizing employees that exemplify the
kind of person that patients, family members and fellow
employees distinguish as role models at WCA, Shelly
was also awarded the distinguished honor of “WCA’s
Employee of the Month” in December of 1996.
Shelly resides in Jamestown with her husband, Dennis
and two children, Ashley and Adam.
Award finalists for the 2011 Nurse of Distinction were:

The Rotary Club of Jamestown presented Tim (Timothy Michael) Shults with recognition as a Paul Harris
Fellow (PHF) in appreciation for the ways his life exemplifies the humanitarian and educational objectives

A native of Jamestown, Tim and his wife Betsy have four daughters: Lauri (Villanova); Madeline (Miami
University); Jillian (St. Lawrence University); Mackenzie (Brown University).
(716) 483-2020
Tim was a 1978 graduate of St. Bonaventure University graduating Cum Laude and 1st in his class. Tim swam
competitively in high school and college and completed a Master’s Swim program. His daughter Madeline
followed in his footsteps as a star swimmer at Miami University (Oxford, Ohio). Today, Tim is an avid golfer
and is a regular participant in area and regional tournaments that raise funds for a wide range of non-profit
organizations. Although Tim seems to have quite an admiration for place kicker Steve Christy of the Buffalo
Bills who is featured in some of the company’s famous “We’ve got you covered” ads, he still probably holds
place kicker Lou Groza of his beloved Cleveland Browns in the highest regard.

Tim began his business career with Shults Chevrolet in 1976 as a loan attendant, then office manager, finance
manager and general sales manager. In 1981 Tim and his brother Ed Jr. purchased Ed Shults Chevrolet. From
some 77 employees in 1977, the Shults Auto Group has grown to 23 New Car Franchises, 13 Resale Centers,
3 Auto Credit locations, 3 Express Lube and Tire stores, 13 Service Centers, 4 Collision Centers, a Wholesales
Parts Division, a Wholesale Vehicle Division and a Management Company. Shults employs over 800 people
throughout Western New York and Western Pennsylvania.
While overseeing the Shults Auto Group as President/CEO, Tim manages to serve his community in many
ways such as being a director of: the Salvation Army; Chautauqua Striders; Southwestern School Education
Foundation; and Honorary Board Member of the Allegheny Highlands Council Boy Scouts of America.
Tim and Betsy are members Chairman’s Roundtable of the Jamestown YMCA and the Leadership Circle of
the United Way of Southern Chautauqua County. He has also served as Chair of the Chautauqua Region
Community Foundation Grants Committee.
Tim has also previously received the “Voice of the People” award from WRFA (Radio for the Arts).
Along with his brother Ed Jr., he received the Good Scout Award given by the Allegheny Highlands Councils
of Boys Scouts of America in 2004. The Shults Auto Group sponsors the Annual Spirit of Christmas Food
drive which benefits St. Susan’s Center and the Salvation Army. Tim, through the Shults Auto Group, has
been a major supporter of the Rotary Annual Auction and also its annual Golf Tournament. It is clear that
Tim is deeply rooted and supportive of his community. Just last December, Tim and the Shults family as
well as colleagues from the Shults Auto Group made a significant pledge of $250,000 to the WCA Hospital
Emergency Department Capital Campaign.
“Please accept congratulations and sincere appreciation for your dedication to your community and the way
you conduct your life and business helps our Rotary Foundation’s goal of promoting world understanding and
peace,” said Yates.
The Paul Harris Fellowship is named for Paul Harris, who founded Rotary International with three business
associates in Chicago in 1905. The Fellowship was established in his honor in 1957 to express appreciation
for a contribution of $1,000 or more to the humanitarian and educational programs of the Rotary Foundation.
Those programs include an array of projects that save and invigorate the lives of people around the world
and enhance international friendship and understanding. Foundation programs provide educational
opportunities, food, potable water, health care, immunizations, and shelter for millions of persons. These
activities are funded, implemented and managed by Rotarians and Rotary clubs around the globe. Rotary
International is the world’s largest service organization with over 1.2 million members in over 34,000 Rotary
clubs in over 168 countries.

aRe you Ready To CuT
The CoRd?
Contributing Writer

Cable and satellite TV have been pervasive across American
families’ homes for many decades. With high-speed broadband
internet connections available to the majority of these homes
in the past 5 years, new and exciting technologies are popping
up that promise to deliver the same type of content that
traditional cable and satellite providers have offered on your
big screen, in a less-expensive and on-demand manner.
The most popular device for watching digital content is
the Apple TV device produced by the same company that
manufactures the popular iPod and iPhone. At just $99 for
the hardware, users are able to stream videos from Netflix,
Youtube and more. Additionally, the Apple TV has access to
a vast library of for-pay content, including movie rentals for
$2.99 and TV shows for 99 cents. The device also integrates
with your iPod Touch or iPhone and allows it to act as a
remote control for the device, as well as playing handheld
content on your big screen.
Another popular media device is the Roku Streaming Player.
With three models priced between $59.99 and $99.99,
Roku offers a great selection at an affordable price. Roku has
partnered with several content providers, but in addition to
the Netflix support found on the Apple TV, Roku also offers
access to Hulu Plus (a subscription service), Amazon Instant
Video, and Pandora, among others.
An upstart company called Boxee offers a device with offerings
very similar to Roku’s, called the Boxee Box. This $199 device
offers many of the same content providers as Roku, as well as
a library of “apps” created by individuals and companies to
view content on big screens. With these apps, you can view
Facebook photos, Youtube videos, Flickr galleries, as well as
a multitude of other video sites across the net. While Roku’s
device offers the ability to access similar content, Boxee
arguably offers a more streamlined and easy to use interface.
Not to be overshadowed by Apple, Google entered the arena
last year with its Google TV product. The only provider
among the list to not make their own hardware (you can buy
a Google TV box from Logitech, or integrated into newer
Sony TVs), the system itself is based off of its popular Android
operating system. Google’s offering debuted to great fanfare
when it was announced last May, but sales have been slow,
and many content providers have blocked the device from
accessing their websites, such as ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox.
Google is promising a redesigned Google TV to launch later
this year based on its latest version of Android.
The trend of stand-alone boxes for accessing internet content
has just begun. Without a doubt, future generations of these
products will continue to pose a threat to the business model of
traditional cable and satellite TV providers. The biggest question
going forward for the makers of these devices is whether or not
consumers want to pick the content they wish to watch, or have
it fed via channels as they’ve been used to for decades.

Filmmaker Sandra Schulberg will be presenting her documentary, Nuremberg: Its Lesson for
Today at the Chautauqua Cinema on Tuesday, July 5 at 6:00 pm, with a Q&A session to follow.
The screening is being held in conjunction with the Robert H. Jackson Center’s week-long Special
Studies lecture series at the Chautauqua Institution on “Nuremberg and the Holocaust.” The movie
is a 35mm restoration of a film originally created by Sandra Schulberg’s father, Stuart Schulberg.
One of the greatest courtroom dramas in history, Nuremberg: Its Lesson for Today shows how
the international prosecutors built their case against the top Nazi war criminals using the Nazis’
own films and records. The trial established the “Nuremberg principles,” laying the foundation for
all subsequent trials for crimes against the peace, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. This is
the official U.S. government’s film about the trial, made for the War Department & U.S. Military
Government by Stuart Schulberg, a veteran of John Ford’s OSS War Crimes film team.
The New York Times calls Nuremberg: Its Lesson for Today, “HAUNTING AND VIVID. What
this documentary shows is how a vital and indispensable principle of humanity was restored.” The
film is not rated but contains some disturbing images of the Holocaust, and has a run-time of 78
minutes. It’s official website, www.nurembergfilm.org, contains background information on the
making of the film, photos, reviews and more. For information on the venue, call Chautauqua
Cinema at 716-357-2352.
Week of 7/4/11 - 7/10/11
The Robert H. Jackson Center’s mission is to advance the legacy of Robert H. Jackson—U.S.
Supreme Court Justice and Chief U.S. Prosecutor of the major Nazi war criminals following WWII
at the International Military Tribunal (IMT) trial at Nuremberg—through education and exhibits,
and by pursuing the relevance of his ideas for future generations. The Center is located at 305 East
Fourth Street, Jamestown, NY. Tours are available from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m., Monday – Friday and
from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. on Saturdays. E-mail us at [email protected] or visit us online at www.
roberthjackson.org. For additional information, contact the Robert H. Jackson Center at (716)
483-6646. The Center can also be found on Facebook (“Robert H. Jackson Center” fan page) &
Twitter (follow “RHJCenter”).

hollyloFT CyClinG—

Editor
Walter Pickut
Mayville. Tom Baer, previously the owner of T&L
Cycles, and a recent missionary in Ethiopia, cycles
in from Panama for each workday.
The sport of biking is also making a major impact
on Chautauqua County’s recreational facilities.
The Greenway Bike Trails project has been
awarded a $264,000 grant, about half of the final
cost, to develop a waterfront biking, scenic and
wildlife trail.
Hollyloft bicycle showroom.
“We’re selling fun,” Les Johnson says with a
welcoming smile. “And we work with toys.” The
high tech, polished and multicolored, metal
machines mounted row upon row across the
showroom floor at Hollyloft Ski, Bike and
Snowboard Shop would look like more than toys
to most shoppers. Les simply says, “They make
people happy.”
Hollyloft, at 600 Fairmount Avenue in Jamestown,
is a business that began as a break away from the
military barracks for Les, about 40 years ago, when
he came home from Viet Nam. “I had a 1960
Chevy convertible,” Les reminisces, “and that car
had a really big trunk. It could hold my bicycle
and I could still close the lid.” He bought a bike in
Columbus, Ohio, and headed out for fresh air and
the open road to ride every time he had a day of
leave. “I hated the barracks,” Les says.
A business begun with a passion for sports
often grows into an active community resource,
attracting enthusiasts from recreational amateurs
to the most advanced hyper-athlete. “Folks who
come to Hollyloft to cycle are just like a big
family,” Les says proudly. “They become part of a
different circle than their neighbors or the people
they work with. They make new friends.”
Every Tuesday evening, at 6 o’clock, between 40
and 100 cyclists gather at Hollyloft to set out on
any one of the many 2 ½ hour adventures Les
plans. Four distinct groups, A to D, assemble
according their skills and pleasure. “A” riders are
the racers. They love to ride hard and fast. The
“B” riders are fast too. They sometimes race, but
mostly ride to keep in shape. “We’ve seen a lot of
weight loss,” Les reports, “whether that was the
original intent or not. A gym can be a boring place.
People find riding more fun.”
Hollyloft’s Tuesday evening “C” riders are good
recreational riders who can keep a steady pace
over moderate terrain. But mostly they ride for
the fun of it. “Then there’s the “D” group, the ones
I ride with,” Les says. “They are the fun group.
We ride mostly on flat courses.” This group has
older riders, new riders, recovering riders and
handicapped riders. We used to call it the “ice
cream group” but now it’s known as the “chat”
group.
Some of the longer Hollyloft bike treks offer
scenic nature trail routes, others follow a 42-mile
loop around Chautauqua Lake or a northern loop
across the Bemus Ferry, to Mayville and the wine
country. The “A” riders make the 42-mile loop in 2
½ hours. One of the scenic tours covers 26 miles
in 4 hours, with stops for rest, sight seeing and
often for ice cream.
One of Hollyloft’s young riders, Alen Royek
of Corry, Pennsylvania, honed his skills and
abilities so well riding with the shop’s riding
groups and teams, he won a rare and coveted
cycling scholarship to Shippensburg University of
Pennsylvania.
Among Hollyloft’s most avid riders is a young
Navy veteran whose military service left him with
paralyzed legs. He rides a hand-cranked, threewheeled bike with the best of Hollyloft’s athletes.
Another paraplegic rider who has mastered
the same arm-powered sport is Ken Bestine, a
seasoned Paralympic athlete.
The bike trail will run along the old trolley line
right of way along the Chadaquoin River outlet
from Fluvanna Avenue, behind D&S Glass, to
Jones and Gifford near the Resource Center. The
Roger Tory Peterson Institute and the Audubon
Society will also participate in the project. Plans
call for eventual connection with the Riverwalk
and Erie Terminal Projects. A bike trail can open a
wide range of recreational opportunities.
Biking safety is a common concern among
enthusiasts. Les Johnson says safety always starts
with a helmet. “And make sure you get eye contact
with drivers at stop signs so you know they see
you,” Les advises. In general, bikers have registered
good road safety statistics, Les says, “but strange
things can happen.”
Recently two cyclists were hit by a deer, the
opposite of most vehicle vs. animal accidents.
The animal entered Ivory Road in Frewsburg
suddenly and collided with the riders. Both were
hospitalized, one unconscious due to a head
injury and the other sustaining a broken shoulder,
ribs and other injuries. Both riders’ helmets were
cracked by the impact, indicating they absorbed
most of the force, sparing the riders’ skulls a more
catastrophic outcme.
“And in September, everything changes to winter
sports,” Les says. “Come back and see us then.”
Jamestown Gazette readers can visit Hollyloft at 600
Fairmount Avenue in Jamestown, call 483-2330, or
log on to http://hollyloft.com/ and learn more about
opportunities to enjoy the all-year range of sports.
The trunk of Len’s ‘60 Chevy could hold a bike. He discovered biking
was better than baracks life.
And for the economy minded cycler, it may even
be a way to save money while staying fit, Les says.

Chautauqua Lake
lonG poinT STaTe paRk
Exclusively Submitted
By Kate Gross, Park Manager
Long Point and Midway State Parks
Long Point State Park on Chautauqua Lake has a long history of picnics, families and
boating. In the late 1800’s, the site the park sits on was considered the ideal place for picnic
grounds, steamships used to pull up to the docks every hour, bringing people to enjoy the
area. Through the 1900’s it became private estates, and eventually through large property
donations and purchases in the 1950’s and 1960’s, the land was transformed into the popular
day use park it is today.
Today you can enjoy the over 300 acres that encompasses; swimming, miles of hiking trails,
two boat launches, picnicking, 3 reservable shelters, playgrounds, beach, marina (seasonal
and transient boat slips), snack bar, gas, fishing and marine supplies. In the winter you can
enjoy ice fishing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing and cross country skiing.

Our swimming beach is open Wednesday thru Sunday from 11am to 5:45pm, starting July
2nd; it is a great place to come enjoy a little time relaxing on the shores of Chautauqua Lake,
cooling off in the water and letting the kids play on the playground next to the beach. There
are lots of picnic tables and grills throughout the park to enjoy a great picnic while watching
the boaters on the lake. The marina is a great place to launch your boat for a day trip of fishing
or just enjoying the time out on the water. If
you want to keep your boat in the water for a
weekend or the season, we have seasonal and
transient boat slips available to rent. We also
have a fishing dock located off the west side
of the Point; it is a great spot to catch walleye,
perch or bass. There are over 5 miles of hiking
trails throughout the park, it is a great way
to explore a little bit of nature or get a little
exercise. The picnic shelters are a great place
for family reunions, birthday and graduation
parties.

The vikinGS aRe CominG!
July 14, 2011
Centuries ago, such a statement would have been viewed as an ominous warning of
impending doom to coastal towns and villages throughout western Europe. Today,
however, it should be met with great enthusiasm, as anyone wanting to catch a glimpse
of a replica Viking ship will have the chance to do so on July 14 when The Norseman
sails the waters of Chautauqua Lake. The event is being held to help promote the 2011
Scandinavian Folk Festival, taking place July 15 – 17 at the Gerry Rodeo Grounds,
located just 10 minutes north of Jamestown, N.Y.
The Norseman is a ship owned by The Leif Ericson Viking Ship, Inc. – a not-forprofit education group from Philadelphia aimed at raising awareness of Leif Ericson
and the Viking’s role in world history. It is a 40 foot-long replica and has a mast
that rises 24.5 feet above the waterline. The sail is 17 feet by 17.5 feet. The vessel
also features a figurehead, representing a sea serpent that was hand-carved by artist
and sculptor Marty Martinson. The shields on the side represent the countries of
Canada, Denmark, Finland, Greenland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. It is rated for a
maximum crew of 20 people.
The Norseman’s tentative schedule is to embark from Chautauqua Lake’s Long Point
State Park on the morning of July 14 and sail to Bemus Point. From there it is on to the
historic Chautauqua Institution, before returning back to Long Point. The ability to
sail is dependent on the weather.
Not only will local residents and summer visitors have an opportunity to see this
unique vessel in action, but one local person will also get to ride on the boat with a
guest. Festival organizers are holding a drawing where one lucky winner will receive
two boarding passes to complete the sail. Tickets for the drawing can be obtained for
$12. In addition to being entered into the drawing, anyone who buys a ticket will also
receive a weekend pass to the Festival (also valued at $12). Tickets may be purchased
at Ecklof Bakery, Peterson Farm or the Reg Lenna Box Office. The drawing will take
place on July 10, 2011.
The tenth annual Scandinavian Folk Festival will be celebrated July 15-17, 2011 at the
Gerry Rodeo Grounds on Rt. 60 in Gerry, N.Y. There, The Norseman will be docked
as part of the Viking Village theme area. Vikings will be reenacting many aspects of
daily life including ancient Viking competitive sports. A Viking Kubb tournament will
be held on July 16.
The Festival will also celebrate our Scandinavian culture with
traditional and contemporary Scandinavian music and folk
dancing in the entertainment tent, the shops in the market
tent, presentations in the lecture tent, craft demonstrations
along with a child and family center in the culture tent and,
of course, Swedish meatball, pancakes and korv dinners.

my position, my duties can vary day to day. The part that I love the most is my ability to provide
help or locate it for people in need. I am a Resident Service Coordinator, which means I have an
office inside of an independent living apartment building. Other Service Coordinators work with
different populations, but I primarily work with people 65 and older or younger individuals with
mobility impairments.

FaCeBook
On any given day I could be helping someone apply for a number of different entitlements,
find help with household chores or making a referral for transportation, medical monitoring,
and personal care in the home or assistance with meal preparation. It’s not always possible to
resolve certain issues in one day, but progress is positive and the intrinsic rewards that come from
accomplishing the goal is priceless. With my help, individuals are able to remain in their homes
longer, delay institutionalization and maintain their independence.
The residents that live in the buildings where I work rely on me to get them through some difficult
situations in their life. I work in conjunction with their family, friends and agencies within the
community to make sure they have what they need and that they can remain safely in their home.
Not all residents have needs like I just described, many look to me a source of information or
someone who can guide them as they navigate the management of their own personal needs. I let
everyone know what I can do for them or help them with and leave it up to them to decide whether
or not to use those services. Often times I will assist the family members of residents in finding
what they need for their loved one.
I also am able to provide health insurance counseling to the residents which include a wide range of
tasks related to insurance. I assist residents with locating insurance products that may work best for
them, or policies that are more affordable. I love to help people save money! I help them to better
understand the policies that they already have and I help them sift through the mass mailing they
receive regularly from companies that offer insurance policies and other items.
When I’m able to help someone I feel like I am making a difference in the world. I feel like I am
part of the solution. I try to find the positive perspective of every concern that crosses my desk.
There is a lot that we have to be thankful for and it’s not always easy to be grateful during difficult
times. I’m proud to be the person they come to see when they need help, the person they turn to
when they feel down and person with whom they share their joys and excitement.
There are many more aspects to my job that make it a rewarding one, but being able to help the
residents is the most fulfilling. I am happy to be part of their lives, to have the opportunity to know
them and learn from each and every one of them.

What’s the city trying to do? There’s a section of 4th and 5th
streets where they have a meter in front of every house. You
can’t even park in front of your own home without having
to pay the city. That’s ridiculous. Then, take the library. It’s a
free library but you have to pay to park there, too.

BlueBeRRieS –
a SupeR FRuiT!
Well, we have made it through the big
Fourth of July celebrations; I hope
everyone had a safe, relaxing holiday! I
want to send out a special Happy Birthday
wish to my brother, Scott (aka Scoot) who,
like our Uncle Sam, was born on the Fourth
of July! It was a wonderful weekend, but
now we (well, most of us, anyway) have
to get back to work, and that may leave
us feeling a little blue. What better way
to deal with that feeling than to go buy
blueberries??
Blueberries are available year round, being
grown in warmer climates when we are
enduring not so warm weather, but nothing
beats homegrown berries. Blueberries are
grown on bushes and are very easy to pick.
I remember my grandmother taking me to
pick blueberries in East Otto, of all places.
As with any sort of “you pick” fruit farms,
I’m always glad the picker isn’t weighed
before and after the picking! It is just so
tempting to pop those fresh ripe berries
into your mouth, it becomes a reflex action!
One in the basket, one in my mouth…

tray and freezing until hard. Once they are
frozen, they can be placed in a zip lock bag
and returned to the freezer for future use.
By freezing them this way, you can simply
remove the portion you want and return
the rest to the freezer; the berries don’t
need to be thawed before using, either. By
adding them to your application frozen,
they will retain their shape and not mush
and turn everything blue!
I always try to keep fruit on hand, preserved
in this manner; you can freeze most any
berry like this. Frozen berries make a fun
alternative to ice cubes, too. I like to garnish
punch bowls and cocktails with a few
frozen berries to add both color and
coolness to my beverages. I also make ice
cubes and punch rings out of a light colored
fruit juice to which I have added berries. By
using juice rather than water to make the
ice, your drinks will not be watered down
when the ice melts!
I love blueberries any way they are
prepared…in a fruit bowl, in a pie, as jam
or in a big ole’ blueberry muffin (sided with
a hot cup of coffee, of course, to be enjoyed
after I‘ve been up for three or four hours!).
Blueberries fall into the group of fruits
considered “super-fruits” because of their
high antioxidant value. This makes them
extra appealing to me, because anytime
I can sneak something healthy into my
menus, I consider it a bonus!

one of the specialties at the Saint James Festival
Arancini date back at least a thousand years to the
peasant farmers of Sicily. The name means “little
oranges,” a fanciful reflection on the color and shape of
these “crunchy on the outside—cheesy on the inside”
deep fried rice balls. Prep time: 20 minutes, cook time 35
minutes, ready in 55 minutes. Serve as appetizers, side
dishes or hors d’oeuvres. A glass of pinot grigio is said to
add perfection to excellence when enjoying you arancini.
This is only one variation on a traditional recipe handed down
for generations. Every one is as delicious as it is original.
inGRedienTS
1 tablespoon olive oil for pan frying onion and garlic
1 small onion, chopped fine
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 cup uncooked Arborio rice
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 1/2 cups boiling chicken stock
1/2 cup frozen green peas
4 ounces finely chopped ham, chicken, beef or pork
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 eggs
1 tablespoon milk
4 ounces mozzarella cheese, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup dry bread crumbs
1 cup extra virgin olive oil for deep frying

1. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium
heat. Add onion and garlic, and cook, stirring until
onion is soft but not browned. Pour in the rice, and cook
stirring for 2 minutes, then stir in the wine, and continue
cooking and stirring until the liquid has evaporated. Add
hot chicken stock to the rice 1/3 cup at a time, stirring
and cooking until the liquid has evaporated before
adding the next 1/s cup.
As with all produce, blueberries are the
best when they are fresh, but they can be

2. After adding and cooking down all the chicken stock,
stir in the peas and ham. Season with salt and pepper.
Remove from the heat. Stir in the Parmesan cheese.
Transfer the risotto to a bowl, and allow to cool slightly.
3. Stir one lightly beaten egg into the risotto. In a small
bowl, whisk together the remaining egg and milk with a
fork. For each ball, roll 2 tablespoons of the risotto into
a ball. Press a piece of the mozzarella cheese into the
center, and roll to enclose. Coat lightly with flour, dip
into the milk mixture, then roll in bread crumbs to coat.
4. Heat oil for frying in a deep-fryer or large deep
saucepan to 350 degrees F. Fry the balls in small batches
until evenly golden, turning as needed. Drain on paper
towels. Keep warm in a low oven while the rest are frying.
5. This recipe should make about 18 arancini.
Note: Arancini freeze well before or after frying. For frozen,
uncooked arancini, begin at step 4. For refrigerated or
frozen arancini already fried, reheat in a preheated 350
degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes. It is not recommended to
microwave arancini.

Green, green grass ranks right up there with apple pie, backyard barbecues and softball. Lawns,
combined with gardens and other landscaping, do a lot of good. They muffle traffic and other noise
pollution, and like all green plants, lawns help reduce carbon dioxide levels. Plants act as filters, removing
pollutants from the air that we breathe. And nothing beats grass as a place for kids to play.
You don’t have to become a lawn expert to have a healthy lawn. Just follow these simple
recommendations from Cornell University:
God oF all
eaRTh’S kinGdomS
Contributing Writer
Pastor Shawn Hannon
Whether pastors care to admit it or not, with every national
holiday religious professionals are forced into an awkward
position. While that may make perfect sense to some of you,
I suspect a larger portion of you is scratching your heads right
now (and with songs like “God Bless America,” “O Beautiful
for Spacious Skies,” and “Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory,” also
known as the “Battle Hymn,” it is no wonder—our national
anthems would make any casual observer wonder if we were
the same nation claiming separation of church and state). Still,
I assure you, how pastors struggle to handle national holidays is
a professional pain in the neck.
Now with that said, let me say this. The reason it is so
hazardous for us is not because we do not believe God has
blessed America. Of course we believe God has blessed
America, and that America is one nation under God. The
problem for us is that often our patriotic declarations mutate.
They change from:
“God bless America” to “God bless only America”
(and maybe a couple of other capitalist democracies,
countries that look a lot like us)
and from:
“One nation under God” to “The only nation under God.”
The problem for us is sin. It truly ruins everything.
Sin takes our patriotism and turns it into idolatry. It takes our
thanksgiving and makes it look like selfish pride. Sin takes our
boasting in God and turns it into bragging about our country.
And so, while we would love to skip the sermon for an allAmerican hymn sing on Independence Day (one less sermon
to write!), we remain particularly aware of the corrupting
power of sin that would shift the object of our worship from
God to Country.
For pastors and churches, national holidays are awkward
and professionally hazardous. But that doesn’t mean there
aren’t opportunities to lift up the God of this and every
nation. Opportunities to talk about God’s blessings that shine
indiscriminately like the sun and fall like rain without regard
for the surface it falls on. Opportunities to sing a hymn like
Lloyd Stone’s:
This is my song, O God of all the nations,
a song of peace for lands afar and mine.
This is my home, the country where my heart is;
here are my hopes, my dreams, my holy shrine;
But other hearts in other lands are beating
with hopes and dreams as true and high as mine.
Opportunities to lift up the saving power of Jesus Christ
that saves God’s whole world, and puts to death the sin that
corrupts all that humans do.
And so my prayer this Independence Day is that God of all
earth’s kingdoms would bless America, but that the people of
this and every nation would pray for God’s kingdom to come
on the whole earth and not just in their corner of it.
Mow high. The shorter you mow your lawn, the more work will be needed to keep it looking good.
Never cut more than a third of the plant when you mow. Mowing the grass too low can weaken root
systems (making the grass more prone to drought). It also makes it easier for weeds to outcompete grass.
Mowing your lawn to a 3-inch height helps grass compete with weeds. It means mowing when the grass
reaches 4.5 inches, or every 5 to 15 days, depending on growth rates.
Keep your mower sharp. Dull blades tear grass instead of cutting it. Lawns mowed with dull blades use
30 percent more water. Plus the wounds created by dull blades allow disease pathogens to enter grass
plants. File your blade regularly, and replace damaged blades.
Leave the clippings. Clippings do not create thatch contrary to popular belief. If you cut only a third of
the plant at each mowing, the clippings won’t smother the grass either. Mulching mowers work best to
chop up clippings so they can settle down through the grass and onto the soil surface. There, earthworms
incorporate clippings into the soil, improving both its drainage after storms and its ability to hold water
during drought as well as adding nitrogen to the soil.
Don’t fertilize early. Fertilizing in early spring only stresses grass plants over the long term by
encouraging excessive top growth at the expense of roots. A better strategy is to fertilize in fall, from
about August 15 until about 2 weeks after last mowing Plants will use this fertilizer to develop root
reserves to help them survive through winter and get off to a healthy start next spring. (Do not apply
fertilizer to frozen or saturated soil, or on top of snow- it’s a waste of fertilizer and a sure way to have it
wash into streams and lakes).
Watch your water. It’s easy to do more harm than good. It is recommended to never water at night. I am
not sure I necessarily agree with this one since it naturally does rain at night, however watering in the
evening does not give the grass a chance to dry out and wet grass invites diseases. Cornell recommends
watering between 4 a.m. and 8 a.m. when the leaves will dry quickly in the morning sun. During
extended drought, stop watering and allow grass to go dormant.
a Weed FRee laWn?
The problem with the perfect lawn is that it wreaks havoc on both your wallet and the environment thru
the use of herbicides, pesticides and fertilizers.
Perennial weeds (those that re-grow from their roots every year) can spread and make a lawn unsightly.
Annual weeds (those that die at the end of the season and come back from seed the next year) can leave
bare spots.
Weeds are opportunists. They will find bare spots or places where your grass is weak, and they will
exploit them to their advantage.
A dense, vigorous lawn is your best defense. No matter what weeds you have, the first line of defense is
preventive practices. And using the tips above from Cornell, this is possible. Try their options to get at
the root of the problem first, before resorting to herbicides.
leT The WeedS Be youR Guide
A lawn full of clover that attracts bees can be a hazard to barefooted children. My husband and two of
my children are highly allergic to bee stings, so it is a concern. But did you know that clover grows in
the lawn because there is a lack of nitrogen in the soil? Clover may have showed up naturally there to
fix nitrogen in the soil the same as beans do. However, clover, years ago was also added to grass seed
mixes for this purpose. So that’s where all that clover came from! If you have Knotweed, it is a sign of
compaction; violets are a sign of low light level.
If weeds dominate an area, it’s likely that there is something wrong with either the growing conditions or
your lawn practices.
GoinG oRGaniC oR uSinG ChemiCalS
Using chemicals on the lawn from commercial companies is causing an increasing amount of severe
allergic reactions in people and animals, thus the warning flags that now by law need to be in place when
these practices are used.
In a sense, following the simple guidelines Cornell recommends is a way of going organic. Going organic
doesn’t mean you have to give
up your lawn, and it certainly
doesn’t mean that you have
to give up the rest of your life
tending to your lawn. It means
planting whatever will do well
in your climate, watering deeply
but infrequently, and avoiding
the use of dangerous and
expensive chemical fertilizers
and pesticides. In a nutshell it is
understanding what grass needs
in order to grow healthy and it is
being responsible to yourself and
the environment.

Dorene Hess, Public Computer Center trainer at Prendergast Library, and Bruce Gleason of Jamestown prepare
a presentation about e-books and e-readers that are compatible with them. Gleason recently led a workshop at
Lutheran Social Services about the books, which have seen more than 9,000 checkouts by local cardholders since the
Chautauqua-Cattaraugus Library System began to circulate them in December 2010. To arrange a program about
e-books for a local organization, call 484-7135, Ext. 247.
liBRaRy SySTem FindS STRonG

E-books are now the fastest growing service of the Chautauqua-Cattaraugus
Library System, according to Director Catherine Way.
“Our local experience mirrors a national e-book surge,” Ms. Way said.
In February, American publishers ranked e-books as their #1 format, and Amazon.
com recently announced its customers now buy more e-books than print books.
Using library cards from the System’s 24 automated libraries, area residents have
downloaded more than 9,000 e-books since the System began offering them in
December 2010.
The top downloads to date are “To Have and to Kill,” “The 19th Wife,” “And Then
There Were None,” “The Girl who Kicks the Hornet’s Nest,” “Harvesting the
Heart” and “The Pillars of the Earth.”
Borrowers have access to a System collection of 426 titles purchased by Hazeltine
Public Library in Busti, Smith Memorial Library at Chautauqua, Darwin R. Barker
Library in Fredonia, Prendergast Library in Jamestown, Olean Public Library and
Mayville Public Library.
This collection includes biographies, history, self-help and inspirational titles plus
many New York Times bestsellers and the 2011 titles chosen for the Chautauqua
Literary and Scientific Circle. New titles, including some for children and teens,
continue to be added every month.
The library system partners with OverDrive, Inc., a leading provider of download
media catalogs, to provide its online collection. E-books are compatible with
the Barnes and Noble Nook, iPod Touch, Sony Reader, and many other devices.
Kindle book-borrowing is expected to be available later this year.
To download e-books, cardholders of the System’s automated libraries log on
to http://ccls.lib.overdrive.com/ or go to the Web site of an automated library,
such as www.prendergastlibrary.org, and click on the OverDrive logo. OverDrive
has recently redesigned its Help section with added graphics and step-by-step
instruction in an effort to streamline the process of installing free software,
selecting titles, checking them out, and downloading them to a desktop computer,
mobile device or e-book reader.
Recent purchases include “Sixkill” by Robert B. Parker, “The Mighty Queens of
Freeville” by Amy Dickinson, “The Final Storm” by Jeff Shaara, “In the Garden of
Beasts” by Erik Larson, “The Essence of Happiness” by the Dalai Lama, and “If
You Ask Me” by Betty White.
People may also call Prendergast Library?s Public Computer Center at 4847135, Ext. 247, to ask questions or arrange for one-on-one assistance from staff
members. The PCC has four devices available for demonstrations - iPod Touch,
Kindle, NookColor and Sony Touch, and programs about them are available for
local organizations.
Patrons also have access to 15,000 free public domain titles through Project
Gutenberg, a volunteer effort to digitize older books no longer subject to
copyright restrictions. These include classics in the fields of literature, history,
science, biography, religion, philosophy and drama.
According to Ms. Way, the success of e-books follows close on the heels of the
demand for downloadable audio books, which showed a 400 percent increase in
circulation the first two years after they were introduced in 2007, and continue to
grow in popularity.

letterboxing, which uses clues and references to landmarks embedded in stories. Geocaching was
conceived shortly after the removal of Selective Availability from GPS on May 1, 2000, because the
improved accuracy of the system allowed for a small container to be specifically placed and located.
The first documented placement of a GPS-located cache took place on May 3, 2000, by Dave Ulmer
of Beavercreek, Oregon.
The North Country National Scenic Trail Geotrail (NCT Geotrail) is a collaborative effort among
the North Country Trail Association (NCTA), the Allegheny National Forest Chapter (ANF
chapter) of the NCTA and geocaching.com. There are 100 individual caches, hidden approximately
a mile apart on the ANF chapter section of the NCT from the New York border north of PA 346
trailhead to the PA 66 trailhead south of Marienville, Pennsylvania.
Each cache is unique and separate and can be logged individually. If you want to earn a
commemorative NCT 2011 Medallion, you will need to find 50 of the 100 caches and get the
hidden code word written on the inside of the lid of each cache. There is a coder sheet you can
download on the cache pages. Find the cache, get the code word, write it down on your coder sheet,
and once you get 50 caches, you can submit it to the ANF Chapter communications director for
verification. If the codes match, you will receive your Medallion. There are only 100 Medallions
being offered, so first come first served.
There are two web sites to down the code sheets. Once they completed 50 caches, with location
and code words, then submit it to Communications Liaison of the Allegheny National Forest
Chapter. Either email or regular mail, including their Name, Address, & Telephone Number. Once
the caches have been verified, then mail out the medallion to them. Every location is located by a
GPS coordinates, hidden at the locations is a specific code word. Websites for downloading sheets
with GPS coordinates are opencaching.com & geocaching.com. Once at EITHER website: caches
locations are listed under NCTGT.
Everyone who participates in the NCT Geotrail is encouraged to become a member of the NCTA
to support the work building Americas longest premier national scenic hiking trail. We hope
you enjoy your adventure along the NCT in the Allegheny National Forest and join our effort to
maintain, improve and promote the trail.

100tH BirtHday
With a century behind him and a purple heart to his credit, Emel Peterson says his proudest moment was the day he married his
wife, Elsie, who passed away in 2006. “I’ve had a beautiful life,” he said. “My wife and I got married after she waited for me while I
served four years in the Army. We had two wonderful daughters, Elaine and Emily, grandchildren, and I even have two great grand
boys.”
Most of his military duty was in Germany during WWII and the outlying smaller countries. “I have some interesting military
souvenirs including door handles from Hitler’s home, The Eagle’s Nest,” he said. The Purple Heart was presented to him for his
valor and in recognition of the sacrifices he made, including a shotgun wound to his elbow.
Emel and Elsie owned Peterson Candies, formerly the Corn Crib and enjoyed meeting all the people who frequented the shop.
“Although my parents were Swedish immigrants, I picked up Swedish in the store because I had to learn what the older ladies
were saying,” he added with a smile. “We were always busy during intermission from the movies at the old Palace Theatre across
Third Street. Our big sellers were potato chips and nonpareils.”
Even with a growing business to run, Emel found time to spend with his family. “You won’t find a better father. He wasn’t just a
father but a daddy. Every night at bedtime he would tell us he hung the moon for us,” added his daughter Elaine. A party given by
his family was held in honor of his 100th Birthday, on June 19th in the Lutheran Home and Rehabilitation Center.
