This year, National Train Day rolls into
town on Saturday, May 11 down at the
Erie-Lackawanna Railroad Station in
Jamestown, New York: 10am to 5pm.
National Train Day was founded by Amtrak
in 2008, scheduled for the Saturday closest
to May 10th, to commemorate the famous
Golden Spike driven to connect the Central
Pacific and Union Pacific railroads on
May 10, 1869, at Promontory Summit,
Utah Territory. That famous Last Spike
marked the completion of the nation’s First
Transcontinental Railroad.
“We’ll have some great rolling stock on hand,” said Lee
Harkness, General Manager of the Jamestown Gateway Train
Station, “like Scott Symans’ beautifully restored Baldwin
Steam Locomotive #6 which will steam into town down on
Track 1 on Saturday. The WNY&PA RR (Western New York
and Pennsylvania Rail Road) will be sending at least two of
their ALCO (American Locomotive Company) diesels to
represent their well maintained engines, the current rolling
stock working the profitable freight lines of the Southern Tier
in and out of Jamestown.
“There are people who couldn’t get here for our first open
house, last year,” Lee Harkness added, “so a lot of people have

asked for another one. We’re happy to do it. And we will have
a lot going on here that wasn’t on hand for our first open
house.” Refreshments will also be available.
May 10 will be a great day for local history buffs and railroad
enthusiasts; a great day for the Trainiacs.
Jamestown’s Erie Lackawanna Railroad station was among
the finest ever constructed along with thousands of miles of
Erie-Lackawanna routes that crisscrossed the north eastern
sector of the United States in the early and mid 20th Century.
Jamestown at that time was well known as a prized hub of
transportation and commerce, and merited a station almost
unequaled throughout the railroad network of those days.

I’ve Been Workin’ on the Railroad
Did you ever walk along the railroad tracks?
It’s hard to find the end to them; they can
seem to go on into infinity. After a while you
wouldn’t be blamed for thinking there’s not
much point…it never changes. You could
keep on walking every day, every day, every
day; going down that endless track just
like…after a while…going to work?
Remember that old song, “I’ve been
working on the railroad?”
I’ve been working on the railroad
All the live-long day.
I’ve been working on the railroad
Just to pass the time away.
The thing to remember is that, just like
railroads, jobs were originally meant to do
more than “just…pass the time away.” Your
life was meant to take you someplace, not
just to go on and on.
Remember the time when new jobs and
railroads were both like the beginning of
some great journey, like space travel, a high
road to adventure, to the romance of finding
a new land beyond the rainbow?
E. M. Forster, an English novelist and short
story writer of the early 20th century, once
said, “Railway terminals are our gates to the
glorious and the unknown. Through them
we pass out into adventure and sunshine…”
On Saturday, May 11 accept the Jamestown
Gazette’s invitation to revisit the adventure
and the romance of the railroad at Gateway,
the Erie Lackawanna Railroad Station in
downtown Jamestown. See the engines and
the railroad cars of yesteryear, remember the
mystery of the iron horse rocketing through
the night across the prairies of 19th century
America and the heydays of Jamestown’s
place in the hustle and bustle of 20th
Century American commerce.

And while you’re there, those endless
gleaming tracks may also remind you, just
a little more than on an average day, of that
spirit of adventure that never, ever really
fades away from the human spirit. Next
Monday morning, then, maybe you’ll hear
Dr. Seuss tip you off to start your day; “Oh,
the places you’ll go!” He’s got a promise for

Replacing Impatiens
for Mothers Day
Contributing Writer
Joanne Tanner
Master Gardener
It’s time to go shopping for
Mothers Day. However you may be
surprised to find the ever popular
Impatiens flowering baskets and
flats of flowers missing from your
choice of plants for shady locations.
These shade loving annuals that
flower prolifically all season were
stricken with a mold called Downy
Mildew. The disease is caused by
the pathogen Plasmopara obducens.
If you recall being disappointed
with these plants last summer in
your shade garden, beautiful one
day then dying the next, this virus
was the culprit. Thank goodness
not all impatiens are alike and this
disease only affects some of them.
Impatiens wallarianna, is the victim
known to many people as the old
fashioned impatiens, including the
double variety as well. Impatiens
varieties not affected by the disease
are New Guinea, Divine, Fanfare and
SunPatiens.
Symptoms to look for include
yellowing of the upper leaf surface
and downward curling foliage. Upon
closer examination the under surface
of the leaf is covered in a white fuzzy
growth. As this disease progresses,
the leaves and flowers drop, leaving
bare stems behind. These plants
in the garden can become affected
by spores in water splashed from
nearby infected plants, spores that
are blown in by the wind or by
spores that overwintered in the
garden soil. Cool humid conditions
encourage disease development.
Plants that are infected with
Downy Mildew will not recover.
Immediately remove affected plants,
including the roots, bag them and
discard. Do not compost plants
with Downy Mildew. Do not replant
Impatiens on sites where infected
plants have been observed in the
past. This disease is so serious that
many nurseries have agreed not to
carry these plants this garden season
in hopes to eradicate and not spread
the disease.
Alternatives for ImpatienceConsider this an opportunity to
May 6, 2013
experiment with the many other
alternatives that are available to
replace shade loving Impatiens.
Now you can practice your garden
design skills. A creature of habit, I
always fill two elongated planters
that I place on either side of an
entryway with Impatiens mixed
with Lobelia. It is a spot that gets
morning sun/afternoon shade and
Impatiens have always worked well
here. I could consider replacing
them with all Lobelia. Lobelia really
is stunning in shades of purple and
white.
Other ideas would be Pansies and
Alyssum. Before Impatiens became
so popular with their abundant and
gorgeous colors, Begonia’s were
available and still are! There are so
many varieties- Wax, Reigor, Rex,
Dragon wing, Baby wing and nonstop Begonia could fill these spaces
again. Or think about stretching
some sun loving annuals in these
spots, especially when it’s a part
shade/part sun location.
Nurseries and Garden Centers will
undoubtedly offer many alternatives:
Colorful Foliage Plants for shadeinclude Caladium, Coleus, Oxalis
and Lamium
Hanging Baskets- Fuchsia, loved by
hummingbirds; Bacopa, Torenia
and Heliotrope; Euphorbia
“Diamond Frost” with its tiny white
flowers will light up a shady area
and Streptocarpella, formally a
house plant does well in the shade
with purple orchid or violet looking
flowers; Streptpcarpus another
plant from Madagascar, with pink to
burgundy flowers.
Perennials- now is a good time to
add perennials as a permanent
addition to the garden in place of
annuals. Hosta are generally known
for their colorful leaves in shady
spots but many have colorful and
even fragrant flower scapes while
in bloom. Fragrant Bouquet is one
such example. Also consider shrubs
like Hydrangeas.
Despite the dilemma of Downy
Mildew, so many other plants can
fill your needs-you only need to be
open to new possibilities.

Nancy Nelson of Frewsburg has changed the lives of dozens of children in foster care.
After their game of basketball, she takes time out with her three adopted children:
Stephen, age 12, Amani, age 10 and Christina, age 13 to help raise awareness of the
need for foster parents in our community. G.A. Family Services is hosting an open
house to share information about becoming a foster parent on Tuesday, May 14th at
their office located at 515 West 5th Street in Jamestown.
G.A. Foster Care to Host Open House
Article Contributed by
G.A. Family Services
Nancy Nelson of Frewsburg was
married at the age of 20 and longed
for children. As fate would have it,
she turned to fostering children to
fulfill her motherly instincts and fill
her home with the joyful sound of
children’s laughter. She has fostered
dozens of children over the last 30
years. Her husband passed away 19
years ago and she continues to be a
foster parent. “I’m blessed to have
the support of my community and
church.” She said.
The most frequent question she gets
asked is, “Aren’t you afraid you’ll
get attached and miss them when
they leave?” Her answer tugs at the
heartstrings, “If it doesn’t hurt when
they leave, you shouldn’t do it,” she
says. She is quick to add that when
most of the children leave they are
going to a permanent loving home,
so she sees her role as maintaining
positive relations with the parents to
help make a smooth transition for
the children. They may be returning
to a more stable home environment
or entering adoption with a forever
family. Over the years, she has
adopted three children and she stays
in touch with many of the children
and their families. “Some of my foster
children even come back and stay for a
visit,” she said.
To help the community better
understand foster care, the
Therapeutic Foster Care Program
of G.A. Family Services located at
515 West 5th Street in Jamestown is
having an open house on Tuesday,
May 14th, from 6:00 p.m. until 8:00
p.m.
“Our foster children have special
developmental and medical needs,”
said Maggie Dreyer, Director for
Community Based Services for G.A..
“For those reasons our team provides
extensive training and support to
the family and we’re available 24/7 if
needed.”
G.A. Foster children are between the
ages of birth to 21 years old. Both
married and single adults and those
with or without children in the home

BPU “Spring Clean-Up”
Announced
Jamestown
Board of Public Utilities
The Jamestown Board of Public
Utilities (BPU) Solid Waste Division
announces “Spring Clean-up” for its
Jamestown customers.
Clean-up at homes where normal
garbage pick-up is Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday, will take place on
May 6, 7 and 8, the same days as
normal garbage collection. Residents
whose garbage is collected on
Thursday or Friday will have their
spring clean-up items picked up on
May 16 and 17.
Residents should place their Spring
Clean-up items at the curb with their
garbage after 6 p.m., the night before
their regularly scheduled pick-up.
Clean-up items should be contained
in plastic garbage bags whenever
possible.
Regular garbage will be picked up
as usual during Spring Clean-up,
however, no recyclables will be
collected during the first week of the
clean-up effort on May 6 - 10. During
the second week, May 13-17, paper,
box board and corrugated cardboard
will be recycled.
The utility will accept landfill
disposable items weighing less than 40
pounds (no metal) and easily handled
by one person including: clothes,
dishes, glassware, toys, wallpaper,
carpet remnants cut in small pieces,
old lawn furniture, garden hoses, small
end tables, kitchen chairs and so forth.
As the BPU Solid Waste Division is
only allowed to take certain items
to the County Landfill, anything
that cannot be accepted will be left
behind at the curb. In this case, all
items must be removed from the
terrace by the resident. Any questions
regarding items to be discarded may
be addressed by calling the Garbage
Hotline at 661-1651.
Yard waste is not part of BPU Spring
Clean-up, but the BPU Monroe
Street Yard Waste Site is open from
9 a.m. – 1 p.m. Saturdays. The Yard
Waste Site is restricted to BPU Solid
Waste residential customers and
requires customers to post a Yard
Waste Site Sticker on the back driver
side window of their vehicles. The
Yard Waste stickers are free-of-charge
to residential Solid Waste customers
(one per Solid Waste account) and
may be obtained at BPU Customer
Service or by calling the Garbage
Hotline at 661-1651.
The BPU also sells large lawn waste
bags at a cost of $10 for four 30-gallon
biodegradable bags, including home
pick-up of the bags. The bags may be
picked up one at a time or all at once.
The yard waste bags are available
at the BPU Customer Service
Department, 92 Steele Street, open 7
a.m. - 5:30 p.m., weekdays.
Customers may contact the BPU
Garbage Hotline at 661-1651 with any
questions about Spring Clean-up or
any Solid Waste questions.
Play it safe, and protect your eyes...
Eye injuries are the leading cause of blindless among
children in the U.S. There is always a chance of eye injury
when playing sports; especially when racquets, bats or any
flying objects are involved. Protective eyewear, sports
goggles and face shields can prevent more than 90% of
eye related injuries. Not only do they prevent injuries but
can enhance vision, block wind and debris, and show that
players are serious about their game. Play it safe, and
make sure your kids protect their eyes with sports eyewear.

Mars – 50 Shades of Red
support life, but the iron that
makes up much of the bulk of
the Sun’s inner planets (Mercury,
Venus, Earth and Mars) simply
soaked up the oxygen and turned
red. Today, Mars has no oxygen

The Jamestown Gazette brings our
readers news from deep space every
month through the courtesy of Hall
& Laury Optical, experts in vision
of all sorts, to highlight activities
at the Marshal Martz Memorial
Astronomical Observatory in
Frewsburg, New York.
The famous Red Planet, Mars,
is named for the Roman
god of war. Though
we earthlings can
only see Mars as a
glowing, red dot
rising in a dark
night sky, it takes
little imagination to
realize that its ruddy
color became a celestial
symbol of bloodshed and war.
Mars was the foremost god in
the religion of the Roman army,
known and feared throughout
the ancient world for pacifying
Rome’s enemies with blood
stained swords.
Mars is certainly red, but that’s
because it is only covered in
rust; oxides of common iron.
All together, there are sixteen
different oxides of iron, each
with its own peculiar shade of
red, reddish brown, orange,
scarlet, yellowish or something
simply “rust colored.”
A trip to Martz Observatory
on Robin Hill Road in
Frewsburg-open to the public
on Wednesday evenings-on a
dark, starry night may reward a
visitor with a more close up and
personal view of our neighbor,
Mars.
After Mars was formed about
4.5 billion years ago, it may have
accumulated enough oxygen to
Jamestown Gazette
None of Mars’ many shades
of red owe their hues to the
lifeblood of living creatures.
But NASA’s Curiosity Rover,
now beginning its long climb
up Mount Sharp, the central
peak of the 3.5 billion year old
Gale Crater a few degrees south
of Mars’ equator, is looking for
signs of life.
White veins in some of the
red rocks that Curiosity has
examined and some sky blue
powder ground out of their
interiors show Mars once had
water and an atmosphere that
could have been hospitable,
even cozy, for microbes
just like many that now
thrive on Earth. “Once
you could even drink
the water on Mars,”
said John Grotziner,
Curiosity’s principle
scientist back here on Earth.
Tantalizing hints of previous
and even present life on Mars
have been found, but they are
only tiny hints. Yet, Mars’ many
shades of red may yet yield to
the ancient mythology; the
god Mars was also the Roman
deity of farming and agriculture.
Could the Red Planet someday
become the Green Planet?
Mars passed behind the Sun on
April 18th; it has traveled around
to the opposite side of the Solar
System from Earth just now. It
will not be visible for several
months until it reappears in the
pre-dawn sky later this year.
Readers are invited to visit the
Martz Observatory at http://
www.martzobservatory.org/.
The public is invited to become
members, either individually
or as a family, and to enquire
about Martz’s fascinating and
informative tours for groups and

THE SPORTS WRITER
“Do you think The Big
Guy will pull the chain?”
they don’t have the history or texture
or legitimacy that we now celebrate
at the college. Back in the day it was
impossible to even consider JCC
sports and Phys. Ed. without regard for
George Bataitis, and that concept plays
out today and will into the future.
Contributing Writer
Bill Burk
Every second Saturday of May, come
rain (The Big Guy pulling the chain),
or shine (The Big Guy holding off),
George Bataitis arrives at his namesake
golf tournament and asks the same
question. “Do you think The Big
Guy will pull the chain?” Death,
taxes, sloppy Western New York
Spring weather, the GBO; all timeless
phenomena you could set a calendar
by, inevitable like the pull of the oceans.
This year marks the 40th iteration of
the George Bataitis Open (GBO) golf
tournament, more or less, and the 26th
year in its current form as a fund-raiser
for the Jamestown Community College
athletics scholarship fund. It’s almost
always the first such tournament in a
season filled with such events…you
could play in a fund-raiser scramble
from late May until the snow flies in
Chautauqua County. The GBO features
tons of food, gallons of drink, and a
casual friendliness that comes from a
JCC-oriented outdoor event in early
May when you have an equal chance of
getting the first sunburn of the year, or
the last good soaking of Spring. It has
been called, and rightly so, one of the
best tournament values in the jampacked golf-as-fund-raiser season, and
has raised over $130,000 for Jayhawk
student-athletes.
And it all happens because of the
work of one man, George Bataitis.
George ground out 32 years teaching
and coaching at JCC. He coached,
at various times, the golf, basketball,
baseball, and bowling teams. You’d
be hard pressed to uncover a local
JCC athlete over the age of 40 who
didn’t play something for George, or a
graduate who didn’t take a class from
him. He earned his Bachelor’s degree
from Ithaca in 1953, and his master’s
from SUNY Buffalo later. After a stint
as a Navy submariner (oh what stories
submariners must have to tell!) George
came to JCC in 1956 and charged up
the PHED department. He chaired the
department, was director of athletics,
and an acting dean of students. At
the college we like to say he fathered
the athletics department, with all that
entails. Do Jayhawk athletics exist
without George Bataitis? Probably, but
May 6, 2013
The GBO is held annually on the lake
Course at Chautauqua Golf Club, and
is a 4-player scramble format. This
wasn’t always the case. In 1973 George
and a bunch of his former golfers got
together and played a round of golf,
ala Bing Crosby and Bob Hope and
the infamous celebrity pro-am on the
shores of the Pacific Ocean at Pebble
Beach. Oh to have been a fly on the
wall of the 19th hole that day in ’73 at
Maplehurst CC (not exactly the Pacific
coast, but Busti township anyways),
hosted in various years by Dick Kimball
who was president at Maplehurst
back then. In that clubhouse, talking
green speeds and rough cuts and
buying rounds of drinks, were local
golf legends, and former Jayhawks like
Dick Cole, Roger Loop, Joe Johnson,
Jim Young, Dan Bjork, and Randy
Holmes (Greg Fish too!). Low score
won a yellow sport coat circa 1904,
according to George. And these guys
could really play! Winning scores were
usually under par, with Dick Cole
claiming medalist from 1976-78 (with
scores of 66 and 68), Joe Johnson
in 1979 (69) and 1980 (65). Back
then the tournament was the GBI, an
invitational for George and his friends.
There was a Fred Foglesanger award
for the highest score, well north of
the century mark. Like most ventures
started with such good intentions, the
natural evolution of the GBO was to
develop it into a fund-raiser for the
greater good. After George retired
from JCC in 1987 the tournament
was resurrected as the GBO, and
has been in place to benefit athletic
scholarships ever since. The GBO is a
major event in the legacy that George
earned and deserves at Jamestown
Community College. It is more a
gathering of friends of the college than
a golf tournament, though there’s no
mistaking that golf is integral to the day.

People on restricted diets and those who want to
maintain or lose weight, often times focus on the
negatives and the notion of giving up certain foods. “We
have a lot of great choices,” said Dave Bollman, Executive
Chef at Lutheran. “Rather than seeing these diets as
taking foods away, we can view nutrition as a way to add
very tasty and pleasing foods that will help us heal and
manage our weight.”
Bollman will be presenting a free Best of Times seminar
“Food is Medicine” for people of all ages. It will be held
on Thursday, May 16th at 6:30 p.m. in the Lutheran

system. RSVP’s are appreciated by calling Patty Eckwahl
at 720-9122 before Monday, May 13th.
Bollman is a chef with Morrison’s Hospitality
Services. “Health care providers are our largest group
of customers,” he said. “We want to do our part to
help people heal. A common sense approach to food
preparation can make a big difference, and a pleasing
diet can supplement the care plan for those with chronic

Morrison has made a commitment to adopt standards
for; nutrition labeling, healthy food marketing, wellness
meal offerings, elimination of deep fat fryers, increases in
healthy beverages and increases in fruits and vegetables

“In our older adults, weight loss is one of the first signs
we see when a person declines,” said Diana Pillittieri,
Social Worker with Hultquist Place Assisted Living “Our
residents love variety and Chef Dave is very creative
when he plans their menu. We can see a difference in
their wellbeing when they have a good appetite.”
The Best of Times Seminar Series is sponsored by
Edgewood Communities at Lutheran, the ‘go to resource’
for senior living. More than 600 people have attended the
seminars. The goal is to provide information and support
to help people plan well so they can age well. The Chapel

“Too Smart To Start!”
targeting ages 9 to 15, is critical to securing them a healthy
future. We need to do everything we can to prevent anyone
under age 21 from drinking alcohol to delay the first drink as
long as possible. The older someone is before they start using
alcohol or other drugs, the less chance there is for them to
become abusers or addicted.
Chautauqua Alcoholism & Substance Abuse Council
announced that 12th grader Alexis Stanley from Panama
Central School is the Grand Prize winner of the 2013 Alcohol
Awareness Poster Contest. This is the 12th year for the contest
which is open to all Chautauqua County students grades 3
through 12. April has been recognized as Alcohol Awareness
Month since 1987 when the National Council on Alcoholism
and Drug Dependence began to increase public awareness and
understanding aimed at reducing the stigma associated with
alcoholism that too often prevents individuals and families from
seeking help.
How do we make sure our kids are too smart to start? We take
ACTION!
First, as parents, caregivers, teachers, and community members,
we educate ourselves.
2013 Grand Prize Winner Alexis Stanley & 2012 Grand
Prize Winner Julia Rater
“Too Smart to Start!” served as not only the theme for the
contest, but is CASAC’s year-long prevention education
initiative with objectives to:
•increase the number of conversations between parents and
caregivers and their underage children about the harmful
consequences of underage alcohol and other drug/substance
use
• increase the number of underage youth and their parents and
caregivers who see underage use of alcohol and other drugs as
harmful to their health and well-being
•increase public disapproval of underage alcohol and other
drug use.
CASAC wants young people under the age of 21 to know:
•They are too smart to start using alcohol or other drugs.
•They are too smart to engage in a behavior that can have dire
consequences affecting their physical, emotional, and spiritual
health and well-being.
•They are too smart to start using substances that have the
possibility of damaging their futures.
According to CASAC’s Executive Director Patricia Munson,
it is important to get the message out to local youth that as
long as they chose not to drink alcohol, they are the majority.
We talk with our children early and often about the dangers of
alcohol, underage drinking and other drug use.
We make sure that young people understand positive ways to fit
in, have fun, or deal with the pressures of growing up.
The Solution is everybody’s responsibility!
A total of 252 posters were entered into the contest which was
funded by the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation
and Cummins Jamestown Engine Plant. The posters
underwent a preliminary judging process by some Jamestown
Community College art students under the direction of
Associate Professor Yu Kanazawa. Eventually, the final posters
will be highlighted on bookmarks which will be distributed to
students at all County schools and libraries to announce the
2014 CASAC Poster Contest which will get under way next

According to a 2011 survey administered to Chautauqua
County students, grades 7 through 12, over 75% of them did
not drink alcohol in the past 30 days before taking the survey.
But the survey also revealed that, of those who did drink
alcohol, 36% drank it in a private home, their own or a friend’s.
Participating as judges the ceremony were Heather Miller,
Adjunct Instructor of Art at Jamestown Community College,
Lisa Lynde, Chautauqua Region Community Foundation,
Angela Peck, Cummins Jamestown Engine Plant, and Sherrif
Joe Gerace, Chautauqua County Sherriff ’s Department.
Alcohol is still the number one drug of choice for America?s
young people. All current research indicates alcohol
consumption by adolescents can result in impairment of brain
development. Reducing drinking among youth, especially
Louanne Johnson, a nationally known local author presented a
copy of her book, Muchacho to the library on behalf of CASAC
and addressed the audience about her experiences in teaching
and motivating teens to accomplish their dreams.

A life long resident, I love how beautiful Chautauqua Lake can look.
I love that we have so much history around us. We watch sunsets
all the time… they are so beautiful! One of our favorite fireworks to
watch by far is Labor Day Fest; we haven’t
missed one in 22 years. The SW school
system that my disabled son goes to has been
awesome with everything for him. There is
an awesome sled hockey program for young
adults/children 5 an over at the JSBIA. I think
it’s awesome that we are getting a lot of famous
people for different events in the city.

So You Bought
A Scooter!!
James Jarosz
You say you went out and bought
that little beauty, but it will save us so
much on gas going back and forth to
work. That’s working out OK, but is it
any fun riding by yourself? You know,
to get an ice cream cone or just to pick
up something at the store… kind of
boring hmmmm. The next thing, you
find your little beauty is just sitting in
the garage alone and almost forgotten.
Well it’s time to change all that.
But first, a little about the guy who
wants to change all that. He is kind
of old, his first pet was Cuddles the
dino, er - well maybe I go back a
bit to far. I started with several big
bikes, you know, 750 Hondas, 500
Suzukis popping wheelies, all the
dumb kid stuff, but one day I grew
up and thought maybe smaller would
be fun. I got a Honda Helix. Yeah, I
know everyone chuckled, but I liked
it – light, easy to get around town. At
the end of September, the time when
I was really ready to put the big beast

away in the past, I now wanted to keep
riding until it snowed. So now I see
other people starting to ride scooters.
So-------How about riding with others who
know your pain. You have a scooter,
not a Harley “like the big boys.” So
rather then cry into our root beer
floats let’s do something about it. Let’s
start a scooter club, I am not talking
about a club with a president, vice
president, dues and all the trappings
of a big club. No. How about a little
group of people that could go out on
weekend rides around town to just
get an ice cream cone, maybe a beer
and wings (not too many, we are still
driving) and maybe a ride around the
lake.

Panel Discussion May 31 At JCC
Jamestown Community College
Christopher Nowinski will be on
hand to discuss “Head Games,” a
documentary on concussion-related
injuries, at Jamestown Community
College’s Jamestown Campus on May
31.
The event, free and open to the
public, begins with a reception at
7:30 p.m. in the Scharmann Theatre
lobby, followed by the film screening
at 8.
Inspired by events from his book
Head Games, Nowinski, a former
Ivy League football star and WWE
wrestler, interviewed Bob Costas
of NBC Sports, NHL all-star Keith
Primeau, Olympic women’s soccer
gold medalist Cindy Parlow Cone,
and others on the dangers of head
concussions, prompting viewers to
ask themselves, “How much of you
are you willing to lose for a game?”
A panel discussion intended for
parents, students interested in a
medical field, student-athletes,
athletic administrators, school nurses,
youth, high school, and college
coaches, as well as other medical
professionals involved in the care of
student-athletes will be held after the
film.
Besides Nowinski, panelists will
include Michael Mitchell, M.D.,
WCA sport medicine physician and
team physician for JCC and Falconer
High School; Jarett Rhoades, MS.Ed.,
ATC, CSCS, head athletic trainer at
Eastridge High School; and Lauren
Saglimben, a JCC student- athlete in
women’s soccer and basketball, and
her father, Mark.
Nowinski, who was diagnosed with
post-concussion syndrome, is cofounder and president of the Sports
Legacy Institute (SLI), a non-profit
organization dedicated to solving
the sports concussion crisis. He is
also co-director of the Center for the
Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy
at Boston University School of
Medicine.
The May 31 program is sponsored
by JCC’s college program committee
with the New York State Athletic
Trainers’ Association. NYSATA,
established to advance, encourage
and improve the profession of
athletic training, will hold its annual
conference at JCC June 1-2.

Big Band Era Returns to Village Casino
Contributing Writer
Walt Pickut
“I’ve heard all the great stories and all the biggest names
in music since I was 10 years old,” said Andrew Carlson,
the youngest member of the Carlson family to serve
as owner/operator of The Village Casino in Bemus
point, New York. “And they’re coming back for Summer
2013.”
“In the Big Band Era of the 1930s and 40s, there
probably wasn’t a single big name in music, whether a
solo act or a big band leader, who didn’t perform at The
Casino,” Carlson said proudly.
Some of the most famous were Frank Sinatra, Count
Basie, Duke Ellington, Tommy Dorsey, Benny
Goodman, Lena Horne, Cab Calloway, Billie Holiday,
Perry Como, Guy Lombardo, Woody Herman, Lionel
Hampton and the list of famous names could apparently
go on and on.
“And best of all, where bringing them all back to The
Casino,” Carlson said. “Not in person of course, though
we wish we could, but we’re creating a gallery of more
than 45 of their iconic images on beautiful canvas
prints, taken from our show business archives and other
historic sources, and in original, hand painted murals.
Every wall will have a piece of music history on display.”
May 6, 2013
The Village Casino is inaugurating this great display
of their 20th century talent as a way of spotlighting
their unique place in the history of live performers
on Chautauqua Lake. The Casino has presented
continuous live music for its guests and customers
longer than anyone else in Chautauqua County,
ever since 1930, according to Carrie Graham, The
Casino’s publicist.
Andrew Carlson, owner/operator of the Village Casino in
Bemus Point, New York, readying the displays of famous
performers who have played there since 1930.
“We have done hundreds of hours of research and
created a professional display of the big band era at the
Casino,” Graham explained. “We searched through
nearly bottomless boxes in local library archives, endless
spools of microfilm, and enlisted Joni Blackman at
Jamestown’s Fenton History Center to find hundreds of
the original newspaper ads for these famous performers
when they came to sing and play in Bemus Point, New
York. We’re also especially thankful to Cindy Young,
Keri Belovarac and Scott Graham for their tireless
research and artistry in making this all happen.
When the Harry James orchestra played the casino in
1939 its promising young singer was a fellow named
Frank Sinatra. On the drums was a young Buddy Rich.
There are numerous stories like this surrounding center
stage at the Casino.
In addition to the big band displays, the Casino will be
spotlighting much of the colorful history of the oldest
and finest hotels and the famous steamships around
Jamestown Gazette
Chautauqua Lake.
“What we mostly want to do,” Carlson explained, “is to
not only spotlight the musical heritage of the Casino,
but to draw people to Bemus Point and the rich history
of the community itself. Whether they were artists,
entrepreneurs or tourists, the people who came here
made this area, along with Chautauqua Institution,
a magnet for the arts and culture. The whole town is
currently engaged in renovation and restoration of its
20th Century glory days.”
The 2013 summer season will kick off on Friday,
Saturday and Sunday, May 10-12. The Casino will
host an invitation only open house from 6 to 9 pm on
Tuesday, May 14, including a presentation by Mayor
Bryan Dahlberg. The regular seasonal, seven-day-aweek operation of the Casino will resume on May 17.
For more information, call 716-386-2333 or visit the
casino at www.bemuspointcasino.com to see the entire
summer schedule of events and live performances.

HOW DID I GET HERE?
You haven’t forgotten
Mother’s Day, have you?
listening to your stories or doing
your laundry. I’ve got better
suggestions. As a daughter and a

trust me-I’m right.

Companies offer a barrage of
lame suggestions, including
electric mixers, robes, and
my personal favorite, a flower
dipped in 24-karat gold.
I perused the website Askmen.
com, to see what suggestions
they had for the woman who sat
in the rain for hours watching
you during soccer season.
• A hat
• A subscription to The New
Yorker
• An “out and about jacket” (not
sure how that’s different from
say, your regular jacket)
• Soap
• And the number one gift idea
for the person who rubbed
your back after you projectile
vomited all over your
bedding… a candle. Delicate
Blossom scent.
Men, I really hope you don’t
follow Askmen.com advice,
even though their slogan is
“Become a better man.” It
could be dangerous for you.
Remember, this woman rarely
has a complete thought because
she’s finding your blankie,

• Wine or beer. Although I do
know a mom that would prefer
Single Malt Scotch.
• Junk food for her private stashthink fancy chocolate covered
pretzels or something she
would never buy herself, even
with a coupon.
• Plants/flowers-but not the
kind that come in a vase. Think
hanging baskets that she can
admire while eating chocolate
and drinking wine.
• If you are going to splurge, go
for the spa. You can never go
wrong with a massage.
If you are struggling for funds,
just make sure your mom doesn’t
fuss over you. Don’t let her cook
or wash a dish. Get her out of the
house and away from the piles of
laundry that beckon her.
It took me years to become a
mother. I cherish the honor and
know how lucky I am to have
the opportunity. I’m fortunate to
still be able to call my mom for

all the moms and mother figures
out there, treat yourself well and
enjoy!

Jamestown’s Genealogical Jewel
Well we managed to get through the 1890 Census
void. Hopefully I provided a few resources that
will allow you to find those elusive relatives.
Anyone interested in researching local or family
history in Jamestown should run not walk to
the Hall House. This is the new location for
the library and archives of the Fenton History
Center. Over the early months of this year, a
group of volunteers assisted the staff in moving
the extensive collections from the Mansion to the
Hall House. It is located adjacent to the Mansion
on Forest Avenue. Many of you will remember it
as a Retirement Home for seniors.

It now houses an incredible array of resources
to be explored. There is an extensive library that
includes books on the various towns, villages and
cemeteries in the area. Biographies of notable
residents, histories of Chautauqua, Cattaraugus
and other counties in the state as well as
extensive resources on New England; they are
now all located on the Hall House shelves. City
Directories of Jamestown beginning in the 1800s
are available as are many, many books on Swedish
history. Those interested in the Civil War will be
amazed at the number of books on that topic.
File cabinets hold hundreds of family histories
that have been generously provided over time by
families who donated copies of their research.
Two file cabinets provide extensive files on topics
of local interests such as the Steamboats on Lake
Chautauqua and the local furniture industry.
There are numerous maps of the region and
photographs of Jamestown and the surrounding
Jamestown Gazette
area as well as microfilm of early area newspapers.
Feeling like you might need a bit of help with
what you are researching? There are friendly
volunteers there every day to assist you in your
search from 10AM-4PM Monday through
Saturday. The cost is $8.00 per visit, or a
membership for an individual is just $40. The
membership gives you unlimited visits to the
Research Center as well as the Mansion.
On May 24th there will be a Grand Opening of
the Hall House Research Center. The festivities
include remarks by Senator Kathy Young,
recognition of those who made this dream a
reality, and tours of the facility.
Next month I will chat a bit about giving and
receiving Genealogical Acts of Kindness.

The trains are coming…
Trainiacs Unite!
Train themed photography and
original railroad artwork will be on
display within the station on Train
Day illustrating both the commercial
success and the romantic artistry
inspired by railroads across the nation
for generations.
A specially refurbished, luxurious
meeting car will also be on hand. In
addition to its historic relevance to
the Golden Age of railroads, it is also
the railroad car in which the Western
New York and Pennsylvania Railroad’s
current Board of Directors still holds
its meetings.
Of particular historic interest to
Jamestown residents and people who
live along the shores of Chautauqua
Lake, local resident Bob Johnson
will be on site to talk and answer
questions about the trolley car line
that used to circumnavigate the lake.
Bob is the proud owner of one of the
few remaining trolley cars that once
made its way around that famous old
lakeshore route.
Railroad “speeder cars” will also be
on hand for Train Day guests at the
railroad station to enjoy. Speeder cars
are those little work cars that run up
and down the tracks on repair and
reconnaissance business, looking for
tracks that need to be straightened,
ties that should be replaced, missing
spikes and just about anything else
that they railroad company needs to
keep their trains running safely and
on time. Speeders, with room on
board for only one or two workers,
have also been called, jiggers or trikes

or putt-putts, or by their less fanciful
names, inspection trolleys or railway
maintenance cars.
The Buffalo Cattaraugus & Jamestown
Scenic Railway Company, Inc. will
have a popular railroad display on site,
along with the Western New York
Railway Historical Society, Inc., and
the Historical Society of Dunkirk,
New York, ALCO-Brooks Railroad
Display. The Gowanda – Buffalo
Model Railroad Club and Jamestown’s
Craft World is will have fully
operational model railroad setups on
site for the day.
Ken Springirth, author of many
books on railroading, rolling stock,
and the history of railroads across
the nation will also be on hand.
Retired school teacher turned railroad
historian, Chuck Spinner, author of
“The Tragedy at the Loomis Street
Crossing,” will be a special guest of
Train Day talking about his research
into the April 25, 1946 railroad
tragedy. A passenger train plowed into
the back of another, killing 45 people
and injuring more than 100 others, in
Naperville, Illinois. At the time, it was
the worst train accident in Burlington
Railroad history.
To learn more about Train Day at
the newly restored Erie Lackawanna
Railroad Station in Jamestown,
Jamestown Gazette readers are
encouraged to call 483-3041. For

Train Day and how it will be

“We Are The Fresh One’s”
Katrina Fuller
When the weather is nice, I roll my
windows down, turn on “Tripping
Billies” by the Dave Matthews
Band and belt out the words. My
child may or may not like my
selection of music, but I think I get
points for my sincerity and overall
jubilance. If the sky is blue and
beautiful, and you see a crazy lady
hanging out her window singing
very loudly, it’s probably me. I
love when the sun hangs high in
the sky, the wind is cool, and the
construction season isn’t quite
started yet. It’s times like these that
make me forget the little issues
that typically hang over one’s head,
and allow me to live just for that
moment.
Yesterday was my day off. I was
running around, catching up on
my house work, the laundry, and
the dishes. I was so overwhelmed
by all that had to be done; I was
unaware of how beautiful it was
outside. It took my mom calling
me and saying “It’s a beautiful day
outside! You two should go for a
walk!” to get me to realize that all
that stuff could wait. I gathered
up the kiddo, grabbed the stroller,
and off we went to look at the
flowers and the trees, the sound of
lawn tractors serenading us as we
walked.
Most of the time, we are all so
busy doing things that we don’t
remember each moment is a
precious measure of our lives. We
get busy and bogged down by the
laundry, our jobs, the car payment,
and the “My daughter just threw all
her crayons and a Mr. Potato Head
into the toilet” instances. Our lives,
day in and day out, consist of going
from one demi-crisis to the next,
an unending merry-go-round of
problems and solutions. At the
end of the day, the laundry gets
done, we go to work, the payment
gets paid, and somehow we fish
the crayons and salvage Mr. Potato
Head from the depths of the toilet.
We survive to fight another day.
But what if we didn’t have to fight
anymore? What if we just took
a deep breath, said “It is what it
is,” and rolled with it? Whatever
might be going on in our lives,
we must remember that with
just our short time on this Earth,
the trivial matters don’t mean so
much. Instead of living to work
or pay bills, we need to live for
ourselves and our loved ones.
Take advantage of what moments
you can, and just exist for a while.
Sit down at a park with a good
book, take your kid out for a
walk, or grab an iced coffee...and
remember, it’s only life.
It is what you make of it.

St. John Lutheran Church, Amhert, NY
This Sunday five children in my
congregation will receive Holy
Communion for the first time.
The road to the table at St. John
(the church I serve) is a little
unorthodox. In lieu of classes
and traditional instruction we
have a pizza party (where they
prove they know how to eat) and
we paint communion vessels
(the chalice and plate they will
receive their first communion
from). Over the course of
the meal and throughout the
painting we talk. We talk about
God’s mercy, God’s hospitality,
God’s gifts, and above all, God’s
love.
I’ve found that kids pretty much
have the eating part figured out.
They get that Holy Communion
is a meal (albeit a small one)
where God feeds his children.
I think they even grasp the
importance and mystery of
the process. The question they
wrestle with is what difference
it makes. So this year we
introduced the theme of vessels.
A vessel is a container which
holds something else. When
it comes to communion the
chalice is the vessel which holds
the wine, the blood of Christ.
The plate (paton) is the vessel
which holds the bread, the body
of Christ. But there is a third
vessel. After the chalice and plate
hold Christ, those who receive
him become the new vessel –
the new bearer of Christ to the
world.
So what difference does
receiving Holy Communion
make? Well, not only does God
May 6, 2013
forgive us and feed us in that
meal, but we become vessels for
Christ. The Apostle Paul writes,
“You are the body of Christ.”
Jesus says, “Let your light so
shine before others that they
may see your good works and
glorify your father in heaven.”
What the Apostle Paul and
Jesus are saying is that our lives
and actions point to something
bigger than ourselves. We exist
to be Christ and carry Christ to
the world.
I know that not every church and
not every Christian places a high
value on Holy Communion.
This article isn’t about that. This
is written that all of us who are
blessed enough to hear God’s
invitation and share in our
Lord’s Supper might walk away
from the table knowing that
what happens there (in church)
makes a difference out there (in
the world). That we Christians
might start to see ourselves not
just as those who are blessed
by God, but as those who carry
God’s blessing to others. That
the whole world might join us in
the refrain…
Gifts of God for the People of
God.
Thanks be to God.
In the Way,
Pastor Scott

orphan that warms the heart of
billionaire Oliver Warbucks, played
by seasoned Cast & Co. actor Scott

production she gets what’s going on.
She really fell into the part” , said
director Debby Schurman. Annie will
be Schurman’s seventh production
as director with Cast &
Co..

part of the community
for more than twenty
years. It is a labor of
love for the community
of Clymer as everyone
comes together to put
on one show-stopping performance
time and time again. “The best part

assistance, contact the Community Foundation’s
Program Officer, Lisa Lynde at 661-3390 or
