“We’re thrilled that we can keep
supporting such a wonderful
event,” Kim Eklund, World
Series of Cars organizer said. The
2016, 33rd annual open air car
show will once again benefit the
Babe Ruth League World Series
of baseball staged at Jamestown’s
Russell E. Diethrick Park every
other year.
This year’s World Series of
Cars will once again take

Emily Wynne
Carl Jeffrey Bloomquist, who has had cancer
six times, said, “My life has always been really
good … and I wouldn’t change anything.”
Wherever this life-long Jamestown resident
goes, a trail of positivity follows his footsteps.
Bloomquist, who prefers to be known by his
middle name, dedicated his life to helping
build up the community that supported him.
He carries out this goal in a variety of ways.
Bloomquist’s sense of community comes
from his roots in Jamestown. He was raised
by foster parents in a home on Blanchard
Street. His family passed the house on to
him, and he still lives there today.
Jamestown is lucky to have a citizen so
devoted to serving others. Just one of
the many examples of his giving nature
occurred in 2012, when he personally
donated more than 50 pairs of mittens and
50 pairs of children’s socks to the Salvation
Army to help with their winter jacket drive.
Jeffrey Bloomquist
Bloomquist attended Jamestown High
School, where he is part of the Class of
1968. He vividly remembers that it rained
all day on the day of his graduation. During
high school he managed the varsity football
and baseball teams. “I played a little of both,”
Bloomquist especially enjoys baseball, and
can both pitch and catch with his left hand,
an unusual skill.
Bearded and intellectual, he strongly
resembles President Abraham Lincoln and
acts as a professional impersonator; he is
a member of the Association of Lincoln
Presenters. “He’s my favorite [president].
He had a hard life, started in a singleroom log cabin,” Bloomquist said of the
self-educated man who became president,
practiced law and led the U.S. through the
Civil War.
More than 300 parades and events have
been graced by this Mr. Lincoln. For the
past 16 years he has participated in the
Downtown Jamestown Christmas Parade.
Though his skills are, understandably,
most in demand around Presidents Day,
Bloomquist remains committed to the role
all year round. “I haven’t shaved the beard
in 10 to 12 years,” he said, “just because you
never know when someone needs Lincoln.”
Always an optimist, Bloomquist wants
to see everyone advance their education
and have opportunities for success, which
is why in 2007 he started the C. Jeffrey
Bloomquist History Scholarship fund
at the Chautauqua Region Community
Foundation. Though the fund began with
just Bloomquist’s savings, donors from all

Beautiful and Fast
It’s a love affair. No doubt about it.
Life is full of things that are fast and
beautiful… and a lot of them are judged to be
more beautiful because they are fast.
Consider the horse. In motion. By some
accounts, Americans will spend somewhere
between $6- and $10-billion this year to watch
beautiful horses go fast. According to the
Guinness Book of World Records, the fastest
one, a 2-year-old filly thoroughbred called
Winning Brew, clocked just a whisker less than
44 mph in 2008. I bet she was beautiful to watch.
Once, not too very long ago, the horse was
the fastest thing there was for anyone to ride
when speed was important. Kingdoms rose
and fell by their ability. “My kingdom for a
horse…” was once uttered in desperation by
King Richard, Duke of Gloucester, according
to the Bard of Avon.
Before cars and trains, a horse at canter strode
along at 15 to 20 mph and a fast, spur-prodded
gallop hit 20 to 25 mph. Truly a beautiful sight.
Enter Henry Ford. About 120 years and six
weeks ago, at 4:00 o’clock on the morning of
June 4, 1896, in the shed behind his home,
Henry unveiled his “Quadricycle,” the first
automobile he ever designed, built and drove.
It topped out at 20 mph. Beautiful! By 1927
his 15 million Model-Ts could all cruise along
at 45 mph under the power of 20 horses. That
was a beautiful speed.
We love fast cars. Given $2.4 million, you
can feel the world’s fastest passenger cars, the
Bugatti Veyron Super Sport or the Venom
TURTLE

GT, flatten your hair at 270 mph. You’ll agree
with British rock singer and songwriter, Rod
Stewart. “Fast cars are things of beauty.”
Yet, it’s not all about speed. Some cars are
simply made like the finest furniture, crafted
of steel, chrome and supple leather. They run
simply fast enough for pleasure and comfort
and the business of everyday life but rarely
drive at 3-figured speeds.
This week the Jamestown Gazette invites our
readers to come down to Bergman Park and
see about 400 of the finest or most beautiful
machines of comfort, luxury, sport and family
fun that were built during the world’s first, full
automotive century. It’s the World Series of
Cars. It supports the Babe Ruth Little League
World Series that is coming to Jamestown
next year.
Come see the cars of America’s love affair
with things that are fast or beautiful or
both…a century of our finest automobiles of
every kind. And even a parking lot’s worth of
motorcycles.
But there’s always a lighter side to our love
affair with cars, even in traffic jams. Columnist
Doug Larson once said, “If all the cars in the
United States were placed end to end… it
would probably be Labor Day Weekend.”
Enjoy a weekend at a car show this week, and
as always, enjoy the read.

Jamestown Renaissance
Corporation
The Jamestown Renaissance Corporation
has announced details for this year's Motor
Mayhem, a signature car and motorcycle
cruise in downtown Jamestown. The
event will showcase classic cars, modern
classics, trucks, Jeeps, and motorcycles
while highlighting a variety of local
businesses, restaurants, and live music.
Motor Mayhem will take place on Friday,
August 12, from 5-11p.m, along Third
Street, Fourth Street, and intersecting
side streets in downtown Jamestown. The
event is free and open to the public.
"Motor Mayhem is a great way to bring
area residents, visitors, and downtown
businesses together," said Edwin
Rodriguez Jr., events and marketing
associate for the Jamestown Renaissance
Corporation. "Cooperation between
downtown businesses, city officials, and
our office has grown over the last two
years. It is very encouraging for us. We
enjoy bringing people together in fun new
ways. We're trying some new things and
hoping that everything goes smoothly,"
said Rodriguez.
Nine downtown restaurants will be
serving food outdoors during the event
and will feature two to three unique food
items. Participating restaurants include:
Jones Valhalla, Labyrinth Press Company,
Gialy's, Harvest Time Café, Brick City
Market and Deli, The Pub, Havana Cuban
Café and Pizzeria, The Sprinkle Cone, and
Sandee's Brooklyn Square Café.
Several retail stores will be open during
the event as well including Bio Dome
Project, Gifts, Décor and More, and The
Liquid Monkey. Grant Robinson, owner
of The Liquid Monkey, will have a live
glass blowing demonstration outside their
business on Third Street during the event.
They will be showing their audience how
to make glass marbles and wine glasses.
"We are very excited to participate in
Motor Mayhem this year and bring
further exposure to our store's location in
downtown Jamestown," said Robinson.
"We have been glass blowing for over 15
years and hope that our demonstration
will attract people to explore what we
have to offer. Our doors will remain open
throughout the event," he said.
In partnership with The Wine Cellar,
there will be an outdoor beer garden
at the Winter Garden Plaza on Main
Street featuring live local and regional
music. Live music will take place in the
plaza featuring 'Two for Flinching' at 5
pm, 'We Speak Canadian' at 7 pm, and
'Refuge' at 9p.m.
Family-friendly attractions will be held
along Fourth Street between Main Street
and Spring Street during Motor Mayhem
from 5-9 pm. The Jamestown Community
Chamber of Commerce will hold a
'Touch-A-Truck' event where kids can
get up close and personal with a variety
of unique vehicles including emergency
vehicles, ATVs, construction equipment,
and more. Bounce houses and other
activities will also be available for families
to enjoy along with an open house at the
Jamestown YMCA.
Vehicle parking for this year's event has
changed slightly from previous years.
Cars, trucks, and Jeeps can enter the
event at the corner of Third and Spring
Street and park along Third Street, Cherry
Street, Main Street, and Pine Street.
Motorcycles enter the event at the corner
of Main Street and Fourth Street and can
park on Fourth Street from Main Street to
Washington Street.
This year's event features free cruise
parking and registration for which is
sponsored by Jamestown Up Close.
Vehicles or motorcycles can RSVP for the
event online by visiting the JRC website
or Facebook event.

With awards now in eight age groups for both runners and walkers, a lot of participants will
be taking home prizes at the Audubon Nature Center's Wild 5K Run/Walk on Saturday, July 30,
2016. Free children's events during the race guarantee fun for everyone.
Audubon Nature Center
Whatever your age, whether you like
to run or if walking is more your speed,
there's a spot for you at the Audubon
Nature Center's Wild 5K Run/Walk
on Saturday, July 30.
Thanks to requests from participants, a
new age group has been added to this
year's competition. Now with a 70+
category for both walkers and runners,
those 70 and older will no longer have
to compete against 60-year-olds.
Prizes will be awarded to the first three
overall male and female walker and
runner finishers. Age group awards
will be given to the top three finishers
in each for runners and top finisher in
each for walkers. Age groups are 12
and under, 13-19, 20-29, 30-39, 4049, 50-59, 60-69, and 70+. The awards
ceremony will begin at 10:30 for those
who have finished.
While Trackqua speeds up the
registration process and provides
chip-timed results, you can enjoy
exceptional natural beauty and help
restore and preserve an incredible
woodland habitat.
The 2016 event will highlight the
woodlands that shade the trails.
Proceeds support protecting the Nature
Center's over 600 acres of unique habitat
that decreases flooding in surrounding
communities, purifies drinking water,
and provides sanctuary to plants and
animals of all shapes and sizes.
Check-in and same-day registration is

Well friends, this week and next will
probably be my busiest weeks of the
summer!! I will be enjoying my annual
time as a teacher at JCC’s summer “Kid’s
College”, followed by a week of “Tweens
to Teens”. As always, I enjoy the experience
with a terrific bunch of kids and a wonderful
assistant in each of my four classes!
Allowing kids in the kitchen with you is
such an amazing experience for not just the
kids, but the grown up as well. Some of my
fondest memories are of times spent with
my Mom and Nana cooking everything
from stuffing to taffy (Mom…!!). I learned
by example and love. Disasters aside, there
is nothing more fun than getting your
hands dirty and eating the mess! As the
saying goes, show me how to fish and I will
eat for a day, TEACH me how to fish and I
will eat for a lifetime.
This first week of “Kids College” I will
be teaching an advanced version of my
previous cake decorating classes. So many
of the kids in my previous classes have
terrific skill and potential, I asked to teach
a class specifically for them. We will be
The second week won’t be my first foray
with the older “teens to tweens” group. As
I always am, I expect I will be impressed
by their interest and knowledge! Many
of them seem to be as dedicated disciples
of the Cooking Network as I am! They
know the chefs, the shows and the jargon.
We will be putting on our own spin of the
popular show “Chopped”. I will create a
mystery basket of ingredients for the kids
to turn into something fabulous! You can
bet he class will abound with laughter and
yummy treats!
We will learn about measuring and mixing,
whisking and washing…after all, if you use
it, you clean it! Each day will bring a new
project, recipes, a treat or two to take home,
and by the end of the week, we will have
created a really great cookbook that will
(hopefully) continue to be filled with future
recipes and ideas they come up with.
The next time you have some free time, why
not turn off the electronics and turn on the
stove? Grab the kids and a cookbook, blow
the dust off the cover, let it fall open and
cook whatever recipe you see first! Add the
ingredients listed, but don’t forget to add
an extra heaping spoonful of love!! It will
not only feed your body, but nourish your
heart and soul!

Who is My Neighbor?

Vikki Trout, pictured in a treestand, represents a positive voice for female hunters
won’t be long before hunting sees its last days.
3. To Hear Their Voices
Contributing Writer
Steve Sorensen
In a nation that boasts about equal pay for equal
work and female participation in the armed
forces, should anyone be surprised that more
women are joining men as hunters? Yes, women
are becoming hunters in growing numbers.
Most people don’t think much about it, but
predatory instinct is common to both male and
female. In the coyote den, it’s not just the male
that leaves to hunt while the female nurtures
their young. In the eagle’s nest, it’s not just the
male that brings fish back for the eaglets. Even
your pampered cat, though she may spend
most of her time indoors, will illustrate her
hunting prowess by laying songbirds at your
doorstep. Clearly, hunting is not just a male
trait. So hunters should respect and appreciate
human females who hunt. Here are several
reasons why.
1. To Kill the Stereotypes
We’re doing away with stereotypes everywhere,
and it’s time we kill the stereotypes in hunting,
too. Last deer season Sister John Paul Bauer of
St. Marys, PA, came under vicious Facebook
fire from critics around the world for shooting
a nice 10-point buck. Much of it came from
people who consider themselves liberal, but
there’s nothing liberal about condemning
women who break a stereotype.
2. To Win the Public Relations War
Today colleges have more female than
male students, and women are filling jobs
everywhere from construction sites to corner
offices. Women are finding out it’s OK to be
hunters, too, and the multiplying ranks of
women hunters should convince the public that
hunters are legitimate, and play an important
role in wildlife management. A lot is riding
on this because the public is made up of many
non-hunters who need to be convinced of the
value of hunting. In fact, if we don’t win this
public relations war, and the public mistakenly
decides hunters are bad for wildlife, then it
Advertisers often use those little household
vignettes where one character is the voice
of wisdom. Often that voice comes from a
strong, intelligent woman. Vikki Trout of
Indiana has that kind of voice. Before her
husband died tragically from cancer, they were
partners in writing for the outdoor magazines
and photographing wildlife. She continues
as an effective ambassador for hunting with
consistent, pro-hunting messages. So if more
and more positive female voices speak out for
hunting, people won’t see hunting as the blood
sport of Neanderthal men.
4. To Reverse the Decline
We can no longer expect to reverse the decline
of hunters’ numbers by recruiting more boys,
because today’s smaller families produce fewer
boys. And sadly, in many families Dad isn’t
around to take Junior hunting. Fortunately, as
women take up hunting, the world sees a new
role model for young boys and girls alike. In
Pennsylvania, the number of women who buy
hunting licenses has grown by 40% in the last
seven years. If you’ve ever looked up into a
treestand and seen a woman in it you’ve noticed
this trend.
5. To Keep Our Right to Bear Arms
If hunters are to continue as a political force
for the right to bear arms, we need women.
The Second Amendment has never been about
hunting, but without it we’ll have fewer hunters.
Why shouldn’t modern women have the same
right frontier women had? And why should it
matter whether they bring home the bacon
from the supermarket or from the swamp?
There you have it – five reasons to appreciate
women hunters. Want more? In the ongoing
struggle to continue financing wildlife
management, we need women. Women will
help the public overcome the tendency to see
wildlife management through an emotional
lens, and to see hunting for what it is – food
acquisition, camaraderie in the field, learning
and teaching about the natural world, providing
room in the habitat for new generations of
wildlife, and changing the public perception
of hunting from a consumer mentality to a
caring-for-nature mentality. If those messages
come from women and not just men, the public
will listen and women will no longer be seen as
exceptions in a world of male hunters.
When “The Everyday Hunter” isn’t hunting, he’s
thinking about hunting, talking about hunting,
dreaming about hunting, writing about hunting,
or wishing he were hunting. To read more of Steve
Sorensen’s thoughts about hunting, please visit

Contributing Writer
Pastor Shawn Hannon
Hope Lutheran Church Arcade, NY
As a kid growing up on the north side of
Jamestown I had a pretty good idea what a
neighbor looked like. With a yard not much
bigger than my current living room, it was
out in the neighborhood that I spent most
of my time. Next door was my friend Jeff
Drake. Behind us it was Mrs. Anderson—a
widow who was usually sweet, that is, until
one of our balls would accidentally fly over
the fence into her yard. Watch out. Two
houses down and across the street was a girl
named Mary—my first baby sitter and the
first love of my life. If you need a refresher you can find it in Luke
10, but in a nutshell it’s about a man who
needs help and finds it in the most unlikely
person. As Jesus ends the parable he asks the
lawyer, “Who was the neighbor?” The lawyer
answered, “The one who showed mercy.”
Defining my neighbor was easy then. I lived
among them, walked past their houses to get
to school and delivered their newspapers.
We had block parties where the city police
would shut down our street so all we could
set up tables in the road and the adults could
party all night while the kids played hide and
seek in everyone’s yard.
And that’s the reminder our world needs
these days. We don’t need another meme
reminding who our neighbor is. We need
a refresher course in how to be a neighbor.
Because we live in a world where it is very
easy to see who the bandits are. We live in
a world where it is very easy to see who the
victims are. And in a world where it is very
easy to see who is passing by on the other
side of the street. What we need more of are
neighbors. And that starts with us.
It was easier then for me to think about who
my neighbor was, because my world was
smaller. People on the other side of town
might as well have been on the other side
of the world. But as I grew up, something
happened. Suddenly the other side of town
didn’t seem so far away, and for that matter
neither did the other side of the world. And
either one of two things happened—either
the world shrank or maybe my neighborhood
just got a lot bigger. But either way, it’s been
more difficult since to answer the question,
“And who is my neighbor?”
But we aren’t the first to ask the question.
In the gospel of Luke a lawyer is testing
Jesus and he asks him a similar question.
“Jesus,” he says, “who is my neighbor?” It’s
that question that leads Jesus to tell arguably
he most famous parable: the parable of the
good Samaritan.
And it’s that line that spoke to me in a new
way as I reread the story in light of what we’ve
been witnessing in our world lately. You see,
the man asked Jesus who his neighbor was,
but Jesus never answered his question. Not
really. Instead Jesus reminded that man how
he could be a neighbor. Show mercy.
Because, whether we want to admit it or
not, we all know the answer to the question,
“And who is my neighbor?” What we’ve
forgotten is what it looks like to be one. We
can’t control the violence and devastation
in our world. I wish we could. But we can
control how we respond. May that now and
always be neighborly.

World Series of Cars
Continued from Front
Street in Jamestown, New York rain or
shine, on Sunday, July 24. The park gates
will open at 8 a.m. and the show will run
until 5 p.m.
“The World Series of Cars is a great
thing for our city,” said John Bauer, a
key organizer of the event since 1980.
“It boosts our local economy and it
promotes some really fine kids through
the Babe Ruth organization.”
What’s New?
Kim Ecklund and John Bauer, this year’s
chief organizers of the show – along
with a volunteer army of more than
100 – were pleased to reveal a few new
features guests will enjoy at the 2016
edition of the World Series of Cars. First,
organizers are hoping for more than the
usual 300 to 400 cars on display.
It will be hard to beat last year’s Best in
Show winners, Dan Tavano’s ‘68 Chevy
Camaro and Jerry Serratine’s 1957
Chevy Nomad. But the show will add
new categories this year, beyond the
ones judged by the traditional rules of
the Antique Automobile Auto Club of
America.
“This year were attracting more than
ever non-judged cars,” Eklund said.
“Today people are modifying cars more
than ever in very unconventional ways
and they want to display their cars. They
create amazing cars that do not fit into the
Antique Auto Club’s 46 regular judging
classes for the traditional, meticulously
restored older models.” These newer
designs are bound to appeal to car lovers
of every age this year.
“And this year we are moving the cars
up to the front of the park,” Ecklund
said, “right along Baker Street. We want
people who drive by to see what’s going
on. We hope they will be amazed by
what they see and come right in. It’s
a neighborhood spectacle as well as a
show in the park this year.
“We’re making room for more motor
cycles, too,” Ecklund added. “They are
very popular, both old and new.”
All competing cars will all be on the
field by noon on Sunday. Judging is
slated for completion and presentation
of trophies and awards is scheduled to
begin as close as possible to 4:30 p.m. at
the grandstand.
Feasts and Vendors
“This year’s vendors will have a much
wider selection of crafts and goods to
offer than last year at the flea market,”
Ecklund said. “Displays and sale items
will no longer have to be limited to carthemed items.” Vendor and sponsor
booths may exceed 15 to 20 this year.
Early birds will enjoy a breakfast at
the park anytime between 7 a.m. and
11 a.m. at the Pavilion. Breakfast will
be provided by Meals on Wheels, as
their biggest annual fundraiser. Enjoy
breakfast at the show and support a great
community service.
The traditional and ever popular World
Series of Cars Chicken Bar-B-Que will
be ready for the show goers between
noon and 4 p.m. All the usual carnival
food will be on hand, too, including
freshly grilled burgers and dogs, Italian
sausage with onions and peppers, kettle
corn and much more. Nobody goes
away hungry.
The World Series
The annual World Series of Cars and
the Labor Day Festival are the major
annual fundraisers for the Babe Ruth
Little League World Series hosted
in Jamestown every other year. The
event costs about $150,000 to put
on. Estimates show, however, that the
World Series brings at least a $1 million
to Jamestown and the entire county
when the nine top teams from across the
nation, plus Jamestown’s team, take to
the ball field to compete for the World
Series crown.
The World Series of Cars, in support
of Babe Ruth, is presented by the City
of Jamestown and the Lake Region
Antique Automobile Club of America,
in cooperation with the Chautauqua
County Antique Equipment and Tractor
Association, the Chautauqua County
Corvette Club and the Southern Tier
Classic Chevy Club.
“The City of Jamestown has been
extremely supportive, too,” Ecklund
said. “Dan Stone and the Jamestown
City Parks Department are doing a
phenomenal job as always. We really
appreciate their work. We hope people
who come to the show will see their
role in the whole affair, too, and see
how much they contribute to the great
success this show always is.”
You Be the Judge
“You don’t have to be a car expert to be a
judge,” Ecklund said. “One more class is
scheduled to train car show judges,” she
added. It will be held on Wednesday, July
20 at 7 p.m. at the park’s Pavilion. Judges
need no previous experience. This is a
one hour class which will teach judges
exactly what to look for and how to
rate all the important features required
for judging by the rules of the Antique
Automobile Club of America. Those
interested are encouraged to attend.
Spectator gate donation $3 for adults
and children under 12 are admitted
free. To learn more, visit http://www.

sharply contrasting. The latter has brought
me to examine high dynamic range
photography, which is revealed in several
works in the show,” Ms. Andrasik said.
The artist has been practicing portrait and
landscape photography for more than 35
years and travels widely to capture images.
She wrote a pictorial history of Dunkirk
published by Arcadia Publishers and has
conducted photo workshops in Florida
and Utah as well as locally. This is her 25th year of teaching
photography as part of the Special Studies
Department at Chautauqua Institution,
where a Chautauqua calendar she created
and her photo notecards are available at the
bookstore. The Art Loft in Mayville, Art
Loft II in Bemus Point and Surroundings
in Westfield also carry the cards, and her
work is available at several galleries.
She has exhibited in the NSAA exhibit at
Kasia in Fredonia, the Octagon Gallery
at Patterson Library in Westfield, and the
Sensory Winery and Gallery in Ripley.
“I came to photography largely self-taught,
having gotten involved with the high school
photography club using a used camera. I
continued to work at gaining skills while
in college, working for the newspaper
and yearbook as a photographer. When
I started my career as an English teacher
in the Dunkirk Public School system, I
continued to advance my skills by taking
photographic workshops around the
country and in Europe, and began selling
my work at art shows,” she said.
Pokemon Go
Has Arrived
She has attended many workshops and
seminars conducted by the Southwestern
New York Association of Professional
Photographers and the Professional
Photographic Association of New York
State and won numerous awards in
competitions at their conventions and
events. She is also a member of the National
Association of Photoshop Professionals.
Participation in SNAPP and PPSNYS led
her to do portraiture that included senior
portraits, family portraits, weddings and
events. She has also photographed Little
League and hockey leagues.
In her landscape work, Ms. Andrasik looks
for patterns that exist in nature. “Certain
images arose from my interest in stark
landscapes, ones of sand and stone with
seemingly little life. Others were found in
more traditional landscapes of forest and
water. We all have a connection to these
environments, and too often we choose to
ignore that connection,” she said.
Library hours to view her work will be
10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Monday through
Thursday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Fridays, and
10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays.
The next gallery exhibit will be The Tomte
Series, paintings by Nils R. Caspersson
from the Rochester area.

Jamestown Gazette Staff
The worldwide Pokémon Go craze
has suddenly brought new crowds to
Jamestown’s downtown streets at a level
some local merchants say they have not seen
in years, a most welcome downtown sight.
For several days now, Pokémon Go players
have been roaming Downtown Jamestown
in search of Pokémon, Pokestops, and Poke
Bases, according to Matt Hanley, executive
assistant to Jamestown’s Mayor Sam Teresi.
Ongoing additions to the game over time
will undoubtedly drive even more foot
traffic and include more local attractions,
sightseeing destinations and businesses, all
around downtown and an ever-widening
local area. Edwin Rodriguez Jr., events and
marketing associate with the Jamestown
Renaissance Corporation ( JRC) said
Pokemon Go fits in perfectly with JRC’s
“Up Close & Personal” theme and
especially the upcoming Motor Madness
event, with Pokelures, stops and bases for
exciting contests, prizes and downtown
gift certificates.
A random sampling of Pokemon Go players
encountered by Jamestown Gazette staff
while walking along 3rd Street sidewalks
on Friday afternoon elicited some revealing
remarks. Pokemon players are easy to spot.
Simply look for people walking slowly,
staring at their phones, only occasionally
looking up to avoid pedestrians or cars,
sometimes seen singly, and at other times
in pairs or small packs.
“I can’t stop playing this game,” one said.
“I love it. I didn’t go to work today and I
probably lost my job, but it’s OK. It’s only
part time and I have another one.” Another
said, “I can’t wait to see what Lucy-Desi
does with this for Lucy Fest weekend.” And
another, “My next point to hit is JCC, but
I don’t have a car. Can you give me a ride?”
According to Hanley, players in Jamestown
have created a Facebook page for
communicating about the game (Pokémon
Go Jamestown). They have also created
chatrooms and meet-ups.
The game itself uses a number of reallife locations where people interact with
the game. The players have to physically
be in the area of the locations, which, so
far, include the Ice Arena, Fire Station
1, Post Office, and Last Alarm Firemen's
Memorial on Tracy Plaza. This promotes
the walkability of downtown in a fun and
interactive way.

Chautauqua County Counselors
Association Awards Scholarships
Jamestown Community
College
participated as the student director of
the Clymer community musical. This
past winter she volunteered with the
Special Olympics, which solidified her
desire to major in special education.
The Chautauqua County Counselors
Association recently awarded their
annual scholarships to Rebecca
King and Owen Richter.
The
CCCA Scholarships are presented
to outstanding students who will be
pursuing a degree in a counseling
related field.
Rebecca will be attending Mercyhurst
University in the fall where she will
major in Early Childhood Education
(PreK-4) and Special Education (K-8).
Rebecca is very excited to start college
in the fall.

Jeffrey Bloomquist
over the country now pitch in to help
local high schoolers — who must be
enrolled in a history class — go to
college.
Carlson, who went on to become
one of Jamestown’s longest-serving
mayors. Though Bloomquist never ran
for public office again, his community
values have stayed consistent since his
campaign.
His passion for U.S. history began at a
young age. “I had rheumatic fever as a
kid. For three years I was laid up, but
I did a lot of reading. A lot of history
books, regular books, and of course all
the books [my teachers] sent me.”
“My theory is you keep the hospital,
you keep the police force, you keep
the fire department and education.
Those are the most important things in
a community. You don’t cut [funding
for] them.”
Still a voracious reader, Bloomquist
turned to writing as a way of sharing
his story. His current project, My
Journey Back from Vietnam, describes
experiences faced by members of his
unit during the Vietnam War.
The Ironman World Championship,
an annual triathlon held in Hawaii,
involves the traditional events:
swimming, running and biking.
Bloomquist, an avid marathon runner
and overall athlete, participated twice.
After returning home in 1983 he began
to experience strange symptoms:
dizziness, a cough, weight loss, and
pain in his left leg.
Continued from Front
He had bone cancer. After months
of excruciating joint and bone pain,
Bloomquist had to consider the
possibility of amputation. Instead he
decided on a nine-hour surgery that
saved his leg.
Owen Richter was this year’s
Salutatorian at Pine Valley Central
Jeffrey Bloomquist as Abraham Lincoln.
Though he wears an Army cap
decorated with pins, Bloomquist
glossed over the eight awards and
medals he received while serving in
the Army during the Vietnam War. He
served from 1969 to 1971 as a cook
and a medic.
Rebecca King
Owen Richter
Rebecca King, daughter of Irvin and
Julia King was named Clymer Central
School’s valedictorian. She graduated
with an Advanced Regents Diploma
with Honors. Rebecca was the recipient
of the Rensselaer Medal Scholarship.
She was also named the 2015 JCC
College Connections Student of the
Year. Rebecca is a member of the
National Honor Society and is an
Academic Excellence recipient.
School. Owen is the son of Patrick
and Fatima Richter. Owen was the
President of the Drama Club and a
member for the past nine years. He
was Secretary of the High School
Band and a member of the National
Honor Society. As a senior, Owen
was the lead in the school play “The
Giver” and wrote and performed the
homecoming cheer. He has received
the Elmira College “Key Award” and
the President’s Award. In his free time,
Owen can be found in band practice
with “The Midroom Drifters” and
composing original pieces of music.
At Clymer Central School, Rebecca
was a member of the cross country,
basketball, volleyball and track and field
teams. In cross country, she qualified
for the state meet as a 9th grader. In
basketball, she was appointed team
captain, a 1st team all-star and twice
named most valuable player. Rebecca
qualified for several sectional meets
and went on to earn sectional patches
in track and field. Rebecca is also a
member of SADD.
Outside of school, Rebecca is a
member of the Fellowship of Christian
Athletes, AFS, Impact and Teens
on Fire Youth Group. She has also
Owen will be attending Elmira College
or SUNY Fredonia with a double major
in Psychology and Music. He would like
to thank all of his friends and family for
pushing him to work as hard as possible.
The mission of the Chautauqua
County Counselors Association is to
advance the welfare and interests of
our area students and to improve and
to offer professional development for
the members.
His one regret is that he was not
allowed to bring his helmet home.
“It had more than 35 abrasions on it
where it saved my life,” he said. Days
in Vietnam involved hanging out of
moving helicopters while dodging the
remnants of explosions, flying shrapnel.
He had to comb the shards of shrapnel
out of his hair, and occasionally scalp,
on many nights.
While overseas he was confronted with
a Vietnamese woman who had been
struggling for 12 hours to give birth to
a breeched baby. A nervous Bloomquist
stepped in to perform his first and only
delivery. “When I was leaving Vietnam,
I went back through the village, and
they were doing good,” he said.
Rocky Bleier, former Pittsburg
Steelers halfback, received a serious leg
wound while in Vietnam, and luckily
Bloomquist was nearby. Bloomquist
did not hesitate to literally give the
shirt off his back to a fellow citizen. “I
wrapped his leg with my shirt and tied
it up with the sleeves,” he said.
On a less dramatic note, Bloomquist
still loves to cook, and offered to bring
homemade pizza to the Gazette office
to prove his skills.
In 1977 he ran for mayor against Steven
Only two months later he began
training for the Cleveland Revco
Marathon, where he completed 21
of 26.2 miles. Shortly afterward he
placed 15th in a half marathon, and
he has continued to run ever since.
Unfortunately, his fight was not over.
Bloomquist battled five types of cancer,
but persisted in his running career.
He has participated in local Relay For
Life events for 22 years. Each year he
enters himself as a one-man team, and
raises money by sending letters to local
businesses, neighbors and contacts in
many states. His personal Relay record
is 87 miles in one day.
Bloomquist has raised more than
$100,000 for cancer research. This
year alone he raised $3,638, and hopes
to raise a grand total of $150,000 by
2019. And the money raised helps
real people and their families. “All the
money stays here to work with patients
here,” he said.
In addition to fundraising, Bloomquist
takes classes and workshops at Roswell
Park to better understand cancer. He
communicates with the chemists at
Roswell, lets them know how crucial
they are to the medical industry, and
encourages them to persevere in finding
a cure. Injection treatments, a lessinvasive alternative to radiation and
chemotherapy, seem to be a step toward
this goal.
Bloomquist’s main concern is that
people keep supporting the campaign
for the continuation of cancer research
funding. “You never know when it’s
going to hit your family,” he said. “You
can’t take things with you and you can’t
take anything for granted.”
The Chautauqua Region Community
Foundation is located at 418 Spring
Street. Stop by or contact them at 716488-0387 to donate to the Bloomquist
History Scholarship or any number of

at the Yorker Museum and will be a
celebration of local history as well as an
event to honor past Yorker members
and their leaders.
The welcoming ceremony will be

celebrate preserving history and the
final ceremony at 2p.m. will honor the
Yorkers, their leaders, and community
members who figured prominently
in the establishment of the Yorker

and get a sense of what small town
living is all about now and in the past.
Everyone is welcome and encouraged
to come to the Yorker Museum on

parent company of Sun Air Express,
a commuter airline that has been
servicing The Greater Chautauqua
- Jamestown Airport Robert H.
Jackson Field since November 1, 2014,
announces the retirement of the Sun
Air Express brand in the Mid-Atlantic
region. The rebranding ceremony
taking place at the airport on Tuesday,
July 19, 2016, at 5:00 p.m., is the sixth
and final ceremony in the series of
Southern Airways rebranding events
held across the region this season;
accordingly, Jamestown’s event will
mark the official retirement of the
Sun Air brand. “Southern Airways is
so proud to be Jamestown’s airline.
From our founding, it has been our
company’s mission to provide safe and
affordable air service with a customercentered mentality that is unmatched
in the industry. Whether you're a
frequent flier or someone who's never
been to the airport before, I hope
you'll come out on Tuesday the 19th

tour of one of the new aircraft, live
entertainment, and a “meet-andgreet” with Southern pilots, staff, and
executives. A brief press conference
announcing the new branding and the

“Chautauqua County is uniquely
privileged by the new arrival of
Southern Airways. Jamestown has the
special distinction of being Southern’s
very first airport for service in the
entire state of New York. As Southern
Airways continues to expand in the
region, Jamestown will always have
the honor of being its first location
in the Empire State,” said Bill Tucker,
Chautauqua County’s Manager of
Airports and Parks. “We couldn’t be
happier about the boost to our local
economy and the improved quality
of service for the area’s families,
vacationers, and business fliers that
Southern is bringing via our airport.”

Community Helping Hands
Celebrates 15th Anniversary
Community Helping Hands
On Friday, August 12 a local, faithbased community organization will
celebrate its 15th Anniversary with a
Family Fun Block Party at the Gateway
Center, 31 Water Street, in Jamestown.
The entire community is invited
to the Community Helping Hands
Celebration from 1-3pm, which is cosponsored by the Chautauqua Center
Family Fun Days. There will be an
outdoor BBQ, bounce houses for kids,
snow cones by Conduit Ministries,
tours of the building, live music by local
youth worship bands local community
organization vendors and a backpack/
school supplies giveaways. Local
leaders, such as Mayor Sam Teresi, will
be in attendance, as well as current and
former board members, volunteers and
staff. Stores are open all day. There will
be a brief program at 2pm in the Cafe
on the second floor, to acknowledge
and thank all who have made the last
15 years possible.
Community Helping Hands helps
meet emergency needs for clothing,
household items and furniture through
its thrift store, which is open to the
public. In 2015, the organization gave
away over $96,000 worth of gently used
goods, and works with over 20 agencies,
organizations and churches who refer
people in need. CHH does not rely on
government funding for support and
uses its small thrift store to help those
on public assistance gain valuable
work experience and skill building
to make them more employable. The
non-profit also manages the Gateway
Center—a formerly abandoned factory
building that has been repurposed
as a community center that houses
organizations who help those in
need—as well as operating the Family
and Youth Center on the second floor
(which includes Laser Tag, an indoor
skate/bmx park, cafe and—most
recently—batting cages).
Considering its small start in 2001
at an old warehouse in Falconer by
a group of pastors and community
leaders, much has happened in 15
years! Community Helping Hands
was originally a vision of Gary Lynn,
founder of the Lynn Development
Group and local philanthropist.
Through much community support,
volunteer work, partnerships with
other organizations and churches, such
as the Allegheny Region Mission, the
organization has grown and developed
over the years. It's continuing mission
to give "a hand up" has sustained it over
the last 15 years and continues to be
the guiding force in its vision for the
future. In celebration of their 15th year,
Community Helping Hands is looking
for fifty people to donate $15 per week
to be "part of the local solution" and
expand their capacity to help those in
need.

Local Dairy Royalty Crowns New Princess
JAMESTOWN GAZETTE
Chautauqua County Dairy
Promotion Committee
Recently the Chautauqua County dairy
community passed their promotional torch yet
again, as 2015-16 Chautauqua County Dairy
Princess, Madison Woodis, of Dewittville, NY
crowned a new Dairy Princess, Joyce Wiltsie
of Frewsburg, NY. This event was held at the
Bemus Point United Methodist Church, and
was attended by a small crowd of the local dairy
industry’s distinguished representatives. The
Chautauqua County Dairy Princess Pageant is
an annual event, held in conjunction with the
national June Dairy Month celebrations.
Joyce is the 16-year-old daughter of Randy and
Jill Wiltsie of Frewsburg. Her family lease cattle
from William Kane, and their milk ships through
Dean Foods. Joyce is an honor student and
coaches award recipient at Frewsburg Central
School, where she also participates in Leo Club,
track, cross country and basketball. She is active
in the Frewsburg Hayseeds 4-H club and a
member of the Junior Holstein Club.
Guests enjoyed a buffet dinner, catered by
Debbie Stearns of Classic Occasions. As outgoing
princess, Madison spoke on her experiences in
the past year. As the incumbent princess, Joyce
followed with a speech promoting consumption
of dairy products as part of a healthy diet.
Members of the ambassador court served cake
just before the coronation ceremony.
Having served since she was five years old, Joyce
July 18, 2016
may be the most experienced ambassador ever to
be crowned princess. She follows in the footsteps of
her sister, Roxanne Wiltsie Kelly, who served as the
2005 Chautauqua County Dairy Princess. Joyce’s
year is already off to an active start. “I am looking
forward to the Chautauqua County Fair and getting
more people interested in becoming princess,”
Joyce shared. “We are a fun group and are excited to
promote dairy in the future and we always try to get
more people to join our (ambassador) group.”
The efforts of the committee to grow the
ambassador court have been largely successful.
Last year, the group claimed 12 ambassadors, and
were informed they may be the largest group in
the state of New York. This year, the court boasts
16 ambassadors, ranging in age from six to 14.
Jasmine, Jessica and Jocelyn Estabrook are the
daughters of Jim and Jennifer Estabrook of
Frewsburg. Their family owns and operates J-High
Acres. Autumn Gregory is the daughter of David
and Heather Gregory of Forestville. They live next
door to their family’s farm, Halocrest Holsteins.
Ashley Haskins is the daughter of Jodi Rice, and the
granddaughter of Lewis and Myrna Rice. They own
and operate a Holstein dairy farm in Ellington. Tesika
Kilmer is the daughter of RoJan Kilmer and Andrew
Ostrom of Kennedy, and Aaron Kilmer of Orchard
Park. She owns registered Brown Swiss dairy cattle
that she shows at the Delaware County Fair. Katelyn
Miller is the daughter of Jeff and Jennifer Miller of
Cherry Creek. She and her brother, Andrew, are
integral to the daily operations of their family’s farm.
LynnDee Nagel is the daughter of Gwen and Jason
Nagel. Her family has Jerseys, Holsteins, Brown
Swiss, Milking Shorthorns and Dutchbelt dairy
cattle. Miranda Nickerson is the daughter of Bart
and Julie Nickerson, of Corry, PA. She is sponsored
to the Chautauqua County program by Nickerson
Farms of Clymer and Reliance Dairy of Sherman.
Sadie Steward is the daughter of Ken and Lori
Steward. Their family owns and operates a dairy
farm in Kennedy. Leighanne Swan is the daughter
of Jason and Jamie Swan. Leighanne is partial to
Linebacks, especially her red and white one named
“Applejack.” Erma Jean Wolcott is the daughter of
Greg and Kathy Wolcott of Mayville. She lives on
a dairy farm and started showing Holsteins and
Jerseys as a Cloverbud. Ella Woodis is the daughter
of Chris Woodis and Erin Allard of Mayville. She
loves spending time with her cousins at their dairy
farm. Evangeline, Lily and Sophia are the daughters
of Michael and Heather Woodis of Dewittville. They
are active participants in their family’s dairy farm.
her message to get three servings of dairy every
day. “My sister’s a teacher and she always talks
about how kids who don’t drink milk have weaker
bones,” Joyce explained.” Kids especially need
dairy “to build strong bones and teeth and if they
ever break a bone, the healing process is faster.”
The Chautauqua County Dairy Princess
Program is made possible through the support
of the American Dairy Association and Dairy
Council: the local planning and management
organization funded by dairy farmer check-off
dollars. Those interested in having the princess
and her court participate in a community event
to help promote dairy may call Heather Woodis,
Booking Chairperson, at 753-2112.
Though the present court is large, the program is
in search of new members, according to Heather
Gregory, current committee chairperson. “Every
year since 1963, Chautauqua County has been
home to an active dairy princess. It is our sincere
hope that 2017 is not the year that breaks this
proud tradition. Our princess must be between
16 and 24 years of age and have a connection
to, or sponsorship of a member of the dairy
industry. Presently, we do not have any 15-yearold ambassadors on the court.” Heather says
the search is on! “We hope to hear from anyone
who can suggest possible princess candidates
for next year. This program supports the dairy
industry and also provides a unique opportunity
for industry youth to grow their communications
and public relations skills.”
This year’s princess already knows growing her
skills is vital, as she stresses the importance of

Emily Wynne
Storer’s
Container
Herb Storer, owner of Storer’s Container Service,
carved out a niche and created a successful
locally-owned family business that serves the
community by managing waste disposal. “Herb is
an entrepreneur. He’s been an entrepreneur since
he was a kid. He started working with his father
when he was 12 years old,” his wife, Christine, said.
Fast forward a few decades, and father and son
were still working as a team doing railroad site
work. Herb also worked in the food manufacturing
industry, but over time he realized there was
something missing. “There was a need … for waste
disposal that involved composting,” Christine said.
Herb fleshed out the idea of providing waste
solutions, and in 1987 Herb’s father, Albert Storer,
bought a truck and seven roll-off boxes and started
Storer’s Container Services.
(L to R): Three generations, Moriah, Christine, Elli, work in the
office together along with Granite.
Herb Storer, owner of Storer's Container Service, uses an excavator to fill a truck.
(L to R): Moriah, Herb, Christine and Adam Storer.
Herb and Christine Storer's granddaughter, Elli, shows off a container.
In 1996 Herb bought the company from his father,
and “it just keeps growing,” Christine said. The
business has since grown to serve 650 regular
customers in three counties. They have more than
800 waste containers. These boxes come in many
sizes to serve residential to commercial customers
on a regular or as-needed basis.
The Storer family grew along with the business.
Herb and Christine’s children, Adam and Moriah,
now both work for the company. “We all pitch in,”
Christine said.
Moriah’s eight-year-old daughter, Elli, helps out
around the office in the summer. “I can do invoices.
I stuff them in the envelopes,” she added.
One of Storer’s many services involves strictly foodbased waste removal from food manufacturers.
Many people compost at home: they collect
kitchen or yard scraps in a bin or heap, provide a
balance of moisture and air, and wait for the waste
to turn into nutrient-rich soil.
“The food waste [we collect] doesn’t go to a landfill.
It’s primarily used as a source of fertilizer,” Christine
said. As food composts it releases nutrients, and
eventually becomes humus, a plant-based type of
soil perfect for growing. Local farmers spread this
composting food on fields to revitalize the soil.
Some of the food waste collected by Storer’s goes
to an anaerobic digester. The process of anaerobic
digestion occurs when microorganisms break
down carbon-based material. Though anaerobic
digestion happens naturally, it can be harnessed to
create renewable energy.
can be challenging. “I’m a
small business, and I want to encourage other small
businesses,” Christine said.
In addition to preparing various worksites, the
business provides aggregates — stone, gravel, sand
— and “the best topsoil in town.”
Excellent customer service is a priority for Storer’s
employees. “We know all of our customers by name
… and we are flexible with customers’ needs,”
Christine said.
If any of Storer’s customers “have a community
event or a small business, we offer them the
opportunity to put a single-page flyer into our
invoices to help circulate [their] advertising.”
“You put down our soil, then the seeds, then flowers
grow,” Elli said, while petting the family’s Bernese
Mountain Dog, Granite.
At least one person is responsible for fielding phone
calls from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day at Storer’s office
in Stockton, NY. This simplifies the customer’s
experience and reduces time spent waiting on hold
or for a return call. Storer’s accommodates lastminute waste removal emergencies, and has less
than a 24-hour turnaround on requests.
Community involvement is important to the
Storers. Elli plays soccer in the Cassadaga Valley
Youth Soccer League. Her grey jersey was paid for
by Storer’s Container Service, a proud sponsor of
the Storer’s Cyclones team. Storer’s also sponsors a
team for Cassadaga Valley Midget Football.
The Storer family knows that being an entrepreneur
Storer Excavating and Trucking, Inc. began in 1998.
This division of the family business does site work.

DEALER SHOWCASE
Abers Acres: Fresh and Table Ready
Emily Wynne
“You can’t buy happiness, but you can buy
local, and that’s kind of the same thing”
a handmade sign at the Abers Acres farm
stand proclaims. Abers Acres, owned by John
and Sue Abers, has provided local residents,
restaurants and Wegmans supermarkets with
produce since 1984.
“We specialize in the fruits like strawberries,
raspberries and blueberries, but we also grow
a lot of vegetables like tomatoes and sweet
corn,” Abers said. Sweet corn will be at its
peak starting this week, so be sure to stop by
for a few fresh ears.
but when Adam came back from college he was
very interested in [going organic], so we went
ahead and took the plunge.”
Though the farm stands close in October,
Abers Acres runs all year round. A Sales
Room right in John and Sue’s house provides
late fall crops such as apples, squash, onions
and potatoes. The hardier vegetables are sold
all winter, along with maple syrup, honey and
frozen hand-picked berries.
Though people often associate the word
“organic” with less desirable produce, this isn’t
true. The produce may be slightly smaller, but
tends to have more tender flesh and vibrant
flavor. “We want to make sure to keep the
younger generation interested in farming, and
[they are] interested in the organic,” Abers said.
This is evident through the social-media-driven
UglyFruitAndVeg Campaign that celebrates
non-perfect fruits and vegetables in an effort to
eliminate waste associated with supermarket
cosmetic standards. “We don’t throw out
anything,” Abers said. She followed up by saying
that small blemishes function as an informal
John Abers, co-owner of Abers Acres.
But Sue always finds time to help weed and
pick. “Taking care of the plants is the part I
really enjoy,” Abers said.
CSA, or Community
Supported
Agriculture,
gives consumers the
opportunity
to
buy
small shares of a farmer’s
product. Each week the
consumer receives a bag
containing a variety of
fresh, peak-season fruits
and vegetables. Abers Acres
supplies four CSA groups
in the area, one of which
provides local restaurants
with produce.
Abers Acres offers pick-your-own produce
as a way to reduce purchase cost, enjoy time
outdoors with family and build appreciation
for agriculture. Come spend an afternoon in the
fields harvesting berries, peas, beans, or flowers.
“We’re a certified organic fruit and vegetable
farm,” Sue Abers said. Obtaining organic
certification involves a huge commitment.
The USDA regulates and inspects all organic
farms to ensure that no synthetic materials,
such pesticides, end up in the food.
The Abers family underwent a three-year
transition period — in which all of their
agricultural techniques had to meet a long
list of USDA standards — before they could
advertise their produce as organic. Sue keeps
careful records and sends in reports on a regular
basis, and the farm is inspected annually in
order for Abers Acres to remain certified.
So why go organic? Abers feels that organic
farming creates “a safer product and a safer
environment for the employees. I’d rather
keep money in the community and pay
local employees to weed than [pay] a big
chemical company.”
The idea to pursue organic certification came
from Adam Abers, the son of Sue and John
Abers. “He was one of the driving forces,” Abers
said. Adam graduated from SUNY Cobleskill
with a degree in agronomy, the science of soil
management and crop production. “We’d
always tried to do things as low-spray as possible,
Abers Acres, a certified organic fruit and vegetable farm.
visual guarantee that produce is organic.
Abers Acres is truly a family-oriented
local business. John’s
father stopped in during
the interview to inform
Sue that he had finished
mowing acreage for the
day. John’s mother bakes
pastries that are sold at
the farm stands. The farm
stands sell eggs, popcorn,
tree fruit and more from
other neighboring farms.
Sue spends most of
her time planning and
scheduling, and John is
responsible for the bulk of
the growing and irrigation.
Abers Acres has three
main farm markets: the
home farm, on Route 394 in Kennedy; the
Grubb Hill farm, at 409 Grubb Hill Road in
Kennedy, and the Warren, PA location.
Sue Abers, co-owner of Abers Acres; Sondra Johnson, employee.
Their five-acre Christmas tree lot of pre-cut
and cut-your-own trees provides families
with opportunities to start or continue the
tradition of selecting a real Christmas tree.
Customers can even pre-tag one of five
varieties in early fall to ensure that the perfect
tree is waiting for them come December.
Growing the same crops in the same fields
every year drains the soil of essential nutrients
and nitrogen. Normally chemical fertilizers
add back nutrients, but Abers Acres uses cover
cropping to increase soil fertility the natural
way. A cover crop is any plant grown with the
objective of revitalizing worn-out soil.
Though Abers Acres has more than 100 acres
of farmland, only about a third actively grows
produce at any one time. The other two thirds
are planted with cover crops such as rye, peas,
beans, or alfalfa, selected to balance the soil’s
chemical makeup and reduce erosion and
weed growth. Once the cover crops have
infused the soil, they are plowed under so that
the mulched plant can compost.
“You end up having more ground to
manage, but you're managing the land
without using chemicals, which is more
responsible,” Abers said.”
The home farm market is open daily from
9 a.m. to 8 p.m. The Warren, PA location is
open Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday
from 10 a.m. to 5 a.m. Abers Acres attends the
Lakewood Farmers Market on Tuesdays, the
Downtown Jamestown Farmers Market on
Thursdays, and the Westfield Farmers Market on
Saturdays. Sue and her employees are friendly
and excited to talk about their farm. “Come see
us and get quality fruits and vegetables.”
The Jamestown Gazette is proud to recognize
our dealers, outstanding corporate citizens of
our county. This week, the Gazette especially
thanks Abers Acres for the faithfully carrying
