This year, joining the Greek Festival, the Italian Festival, the Scandinavian Folk Festival and the Celtic Festival, the first annual Hispanic Festival opened its doors to Jamestown on Friday evening, October 11, at the Eastside Family YMCA. The Hispanic Festival is Jamestown’s observance of National Hispanic Heritage Month, recognized across the nation from September 15 to October 15. The celebration began in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under President Lyndon Johnson. In 1988 President Ronald Reagan extended it to its current 30 days. It celebrates the histories, cultures and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America. 7000 JOBS LOST IN 7 YEARS!

Among the highest values shared by all of Jamestown’s ethnic communities is strong family ties, reverence for family roots. This value is especially strong among Latino families, many of whom have been proud to make Jamestown home for more than a half-century. And, of course, everyone’s favorite tradition, no matter what their background, is food— not just good food, but great food—outstanding ethnic specialties. The Greek, Italian and Swedish dishes so many people enjoy at our local festivals all originated in their own individual home countries. But Celtic food specialties can come from any one of the six historically Celtic Nations. And for an even wider selection, Latino delicacies find their roots among any one of the 21 Latino countries around the world. Hispanic Heritage Month can bring a tempting selection varied enough to keep good company even with a Swedish smorgasbord. “Food is the glue that holds Hispanic communities together,” Max Martin says with obvious pride. Then he adds, “and a little good Latin music.” Jamestown’s First Annual Hispanic Festival featured dishes from Cuba and the Dominican Republic, fajitas and taquitos from Mexico and roast pork from Colombia, delicacies from Puerto Rico and specialties from many other centers of Latin Though only a few days remain in this year’s Hispanic Heritage Month, many locations throughout the country will wrap up the month-long celebration with festivals, parties and parades Max Martin, Eastside Family YMCA Executive Director, (center, rear) celebrating observing their common legacy.

In New York City, for instance, the main event was the Hispanic Day Parade which kicked off along Manhattan’s Fifth Ave., from 44th to 77th Streets, at 11 a.m. on Sunday, American cuisine, art and culture.

The Academy also maintains an affiliation with the Jamestown Striders who provide mentoring and tutoring activities. used interchangeably, but there is an important difference. The root of Hispanic is Spain and the Spanish language. The Latino people are the Spanish speaking people around the world dispersed into separate nations. “We are ‘Hispanic in roots— Latino in culture’,” explained Max Martin, Branch Manager for the Eastside Family YMCA Behind Eastside Academy visitors find terraced vegetable gardens built by the Jamestown A.M. Rotary Club whose members have also made a special, long-term commitment to assist in the development of the Academy and the success of its Latino students. “We Latinos celebrate well,” Martin said with a broad smile. “After all, Jamestown has been celebrating one of America’s most famous and best loved Latinos for a long time. His name was Desi Arnaz. Desi was Cuban, I’m from the Dominican Republic, and we have people here from Argentina, Peru, Puerto Rico, Colombia and many other parts of Central and South America; we are all Latinos.” Next year’s celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month is planned for the Renaissance Center in the downtown are, according to Martin, to invite more of Greater Jamestown’s residents to celebrate along with the Latino community.

JBC Hosts Professional Development Program for Students Article Contributed by Jamestown Business College For more than ten years, the professional development program for students at JBC (Professional EDGE) has been a key factor in the success of students and graduates as they head into future careers. With a large number of the student body participating, the daylong event gives students a complete picture of the many levels of professional etiquette. The Professional EDGE (Etiquette, Dress, Goals, and Ethics) program at JBC consists of training and activities that give students a full range of skills to use in business situations and settings. Included in the program are: Skills Seminar & Initial Training, Professional Image Day, Etiquette Luncheon/Dinner, and a Dean’s Reception. JBC Vice President Rosanne Johanson said that she is confident that students walk away Jamestown Gazette from the activity, and the college, with a better understanding of how to network and make a great first impression. “They learn, from their first day at JBC, the skills that are needed to be successful in the business world,” she said. “And with the events in our EDGE Day, they are gaining the awareness and training needed to stand out in the employment arena.” With both day and evening sessions participating on campus, students received professional dress and appearance tips, reviewed various interviewing skills, interacted in a business simulation, and stepped off campus to Moon Brook Country Club for lessons in professional dining.

James Jarosz Strange Attractions? Way back in 1961, Pres. John F. Kennedy addressed the Canadian Parliament. He said: “Geography has made us neighbors. History has made us friends. Economics has made us partners. And necessity has made us allies. Those whom nature hath so joined together, let no man put asunder. What unites us is far greater than what divides us.” Good politics, John. But how about something I can actually use. I’m not as important as a country or as influential as one of the worlds greatest economies. I am only me. So, what if I said to the guy in “that neighborhood,” the one where I don’t quite feel at home, or to that lady I really don’t like, “what unites us is far greater than what divides us?” That would get a little more personal, wouldn’t it? But do I believe it? Do you believe it? Or do we really believe it’s only true for Siamese Twins? It’s amazing how many old sayings we know, yet we rarely take them out, dust them off and really look at them. Remember “Opposites Attract?” That’s pretty true when you think about magnets; the north pole of one attracts the south pole of the other, and then they stick together real tight. And “Opposites Attract” is usually quoted to explain odd couples (TV’s Felix Unger and Oscar Madison) or eccentric friendships, like you and me. When it comes to neighborhoods, though, 511 N Main St • Jamestown 716-490-3820 [email protected] when we see someone from a different one walking through ours, maybe after dark, we wonder. We worry. We fear the unknown. We almost never imagine what unites us, only what divides us. Except, that is, when we bring out the food and play the music! This week the Jamestown Gazette introduced another ethnic festival to Greater Jamestown and Chautauqua County—the Hispanic Heritage Festival. The Greeks and Swedes and Italians and the Celtic people have already done it, and discovered ways to bring people together while enjoying each other’s differences. So welcome the Hispanics too. Along with food and music we’ve all discovered one more thing that unites us. Mark Twain said, “The human race has only one really effective weapon, and that is laughter.” Our ethnic festivals have probably done more to break down walls than any laws or sermons we have made up for ourselves. Eat, Sing, Laugh! Perhaps the best models for ending prejudice and discovering “…what unites us” have been here all along; Lucy & Desi, laughter & festivals, Swedes & Italians, Celts & Latinos. What unites us is far greater than what divides us. Enjoy the read.

Did I ever learn something new that day. I also realized that I still needed to get to the market and buy 60 more appropriately sized squash! Contributing Writer Vicki McGraw We had the opportunity to cater an outdoor wedding reception recently…I always worry about outdoor events because our weather is so unpredictable. The dear weather man had spent the week forecasting rain and cold for Saturday. The forecast was rather dire, but we remained calm. The clouds threatened, but not to worry. On Friday, we persevered, setting up tables and made backup plans, just in case. Saturday morning brought us not the predicted horror of gloom, but a spectacular fall day! There is nothing like the beauty of the sunshine to remind us of the blessings we receive with every new day! Fall weddings are always lovely, the colors are spectacular and the food can be very “downhome” or stylishly unique. This particular wedding feast featured a stuffed acorn squash as the entrée. This is a really delicious way to serve squash, and even works for the non-squash eaters in the crowd! First, let me clue you in to something that surprised me…acorn squash are not always small! To be frank, I am not a big fan of winter squashes. I like to doctor them up. A lot! Anyway, getting back to the acorn squash; I have prepared them many times, always going to the market or a farm stand to purchase however many I need. They are usually the size of a softball or smaller. I never gave it a thought that they might grow larger. For this particular event I needed about 6 dozen squash, so rather than buy them in my usual manner, I choose to order them in bulk from a vendor. Great idea, huh? That is what I thought, until I opened the boxes and discovered that instead of 60 of my expected softball size beauties, I had 17 of the biggest acorns you have ever seen! YIKES! Now I’m not talking a just a little big. These squash made October 14, 2013 I was eventually able to get enough small squash to create my stuffed squash entrée, which, by the way, turned out really great. That left me with all of the gigantic squash to find a use for. Not having a need for 40 pounds of squash in the next few days, I decided to simply bake them and freeze the squash to use later. It is very simple to cook squash. After washing the outside, simply poke a hole in the flesh with a sharp knife (to vent the squash and keep it from blowing up in your oven) and bake until tender, (usually about an hour at 350* will do it). When they are cool, cut the squash in half, scoop the seeds out and discard them, then scoop the flesh out and package to freeze. I like to fill quart size zipper bags with it. By doing it this way, the options for later are endless. You can have plain squash, make a terrific squash soup, squash fritters, squash pies… you get the idea! Get creative and use squash in place of potatoes in recipes. It is nutritious and versatile, and they can grow REAL BIG!

But Krenzer ducked a compliment for his own coaching skills and passed the kudos along to his team. “They’re the ones with the talent. I’m real proud of those kids.” “I’ve been coaching for 40 years and I can tell you it’s all about the kids. It’s not the coaches who win the games,” Krenzer added. It was especially satisfying to rack up a big Sherman Homecoming weekend win against the Pine Valley Panthers under Friday night lights last week, taking their opponents down by a score of 34 to 8. “We’re pretty good defenders,” Krenzer said. “We use a variety of defensive lineups to make it harder for the opposition to predict how we are going to block their next play.” On offense, the Wildcats often rely on the kind of Spread I formation popular in both American and Canadian football, from the professional leagues all the way down high school teams, which can give the quarterback a lot of offensive options, especially from a shotgun position. The fact that the Wildcat’s offensive and defensive playbooks are working is backed up by their 4-1 record going into their upcoming game against Nichols, an independent private school they have not faced before. The Nichols game was inserted into Sherman’s schedule to replace their matchup against Westfield which canceled their varsity season following a player fatality earlier this season. Krenzer’s Wildcats are preparing to take on Nichols by studying scouting films of previous matchups. “I think it’ll be a great game to watch,” coach Krenzer said. “It will be a competitive game and we will be ready for them” On the Saturday following the Nichols game, the Sherman Wildcats will take on Panama, another strong opponent with a winning record slated to be a hardfought gridiron clash. The game will be part of the league title competition and Krenzer plans to come out on top. In his many years as coach Bob Krenzer has taken his team to championship matches at Ralph Wilson Stadium nine times and scored an impressive win loss record of 5-4. “We’re giving our fans some good football to enjoy,” Krenzer said. “They really show up! Great crowds and a lot of support for our boys.” Page 6 • www.JamestownGazette.com Jamestown Gazette October 14, 2013 Salvage in the Woods 7595 Wiltsie Rd • Panama, NY Canned Goods • Medicines • Pet Supplies • Health & Beauty items • Many Other Grocery items! 716-761-6199 Good Luck Panama! Panama Central School Team of the Week Highlights Panama Panthers Article Contributed by Walt Pickut Coach Chris Payne’s Panama Panthers have been handily picking their way through their opponents all season. Coming off of a 39-6 win over Cassadaga Valley last week, the 3-1 (in league play) Panthers headed into their next big game against Franklinville which stood at 1-3 coming into Friday night’s game on October 10. “A win over Franklinville takes us into the playoffs,” Payne told fans.

But what works best is a “Defense Mindset” where the boys fly to the football, wherever it is.” Coach Payne credits his defensive coach, Ed Nolan, with much of their defensive success. “I know Ed knows football,” Payne said with a smile, “because he was my first quarterback, and a good one at that, my first year as a coach here in Panama.” Have a Great Season Teams! & e i l S r on a h C In Memory Of Charlie Detailing & Car Wash HOURS: Mon.-Fri. 9am-5pm • Sat. 9am-1pm 1709 Washington St., Jamestown NY • 487-1515 or 708-8851 “Our fans are great here in Panama, too” Payne says with pride. “Our boys know the community, their friends and their families support them.” Coach Payne says, however, that as important as winning and losing are, this year’s team has formed a strong camaraderie and work ethic that goes beyond the gridiron. “I’m proud of the way they’ve grown together as a team and as young men,” Payne said. “This team has a real passion to play, and that makes our practices even more intense than usual,” Payne pointed out. “That means our practices can be shorter, with less chance for sprains and strains before game day.” The Panthers started the 2013 season with a roster of 43, but is temporarily in the 30s, but there’s depth on the bench and quick recovery from minor incidents. The squad this year has eight seniors but 14 juniors are getting ready to take their place next year in force; two of this year’s starters on the offense line are underclassmen too. Coach Chris Payne is a veteran teacher the Panama school system, teaching physical education and serving as the Athletic Director.

Our fans travel a lot. They are really important at our away games.” Coach Bodamer was happy to see his team turn the corner out of a previously 0 – 4 season. “We competed at the level we should be in that game,” Bodamer said. The Pirates lost a lot of their most seasoned senior players last year and this year’s schedule is a tougher lineup than last year’s, the coach explained. “But win or lose, the game is a great way to teach young men to lead, and we need a lot of new leaders in our country today.” Bodamer understands the connection between gridiron battles and real-world conflict; he teaches US History, Government and an elective course on Military History of the Civil War. Launching his on-field offense with a young team, Coach Bodamer prefers to keep his quarterback close to the line, running a pistol offense out of a spread formation. On defense, the Pirates prefer man-to-man coverage and a four-man front line. The Pirates style of play is not about trick plays but good execution, running, passing, blocking and tackling. Even late in the season, according to coach, there is still a way to navigate through a tough schedule with a few more key wins. Coach Bodamer is proud of his boys and looks forward to rounding out the season with a few more marks in the win column. Cornell Addresses Jamestown A.M. Rotary Article Contributed by Lori Cornell, Candidate for County Clerk Chautauqua County Legislator Lori Cornell recently addressed the Jamestown A.M. Rotary Club. The twoterm County Legislator said her goal is to continue modernizing the office, seek ways to improve customer service and cut costs to county taxpayers. “The County Clerk’s Office is about superior customer service and innovation at the lowest possible cost,” Cornell said. “It’s not about Democratic or Republican ideology, it’s about strong administrative leadership by the candidate who has the qualifications and experience to deliver optimal service at the lowest possible cost. As your County Clerk, I can do that. I pledge to manage the office with energy, dedication and integrity.” Cornell highlighted her county budget amendment for a Renew Local Campaign for vehicle registration renewals at local DMV offices. “When county residents renew locally the money stays in Chautauqua County and offsets property taxes instead of going to Albany,” she said. “This campaign works for the taxpayers and is a common sense, non-partisan proposal.” As a County Legislator, Cornell has served in leadership roles, worked to improve declining housing and been a strong advocate for Chautauqua Lake and 4H programs. As a proactive policymaker, she pushed for the reduction of the size of the county legislature to 15, and has consistently opposed every tax increase that crossed her desk. Page 8 • www.JamestownGazette.com Jamestown Gazette Cornell has also supported numerous cost-cutting measures and stronger economic development. In 2012, she initiated the effort to form an independent, nonpartisan redistricting commission to redraw county legislature districts. Cornell has held full-time professional and management positions in municipal, county, state and the federal government, assisted small businesses in marketing and sales and taught at JCC. Cornell received her Master’s Degree from the St. Bonaventure University School of Business and her Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Notre Dame, where she was accepted into the Hesburgh Honors Program. October 14, 2013 Debut Authors Doing Book Signings at Novel Destination Article Contributed by Novel Destination With vastly different personal backgrounds and subject matter, the two debut authors at Novel Destination’s next meet-the-author event will have a broad appeal. On Saturday afternoon, October 26, Novel Destination~Used Book Emporium will host young adult writer Jessie Andersen and political thriller author John Persinger. From 2-4 p.m. the authors will talk with readers and sign their books at 177 Fluvanna Avenue in Jamestown. They will bring copies of their books to sell and autograph. A graduate of Frewsburg Central School now living in Sinclairville, Jessie Andersen is the author of “At What Cost,” an award winning finalist in the “USA Book News” Youth Issues category. Originally published as an e-book and now in hard copy, the book focuses on the issue of teen pregnancy and abortion. Andersen decided she wanted to write this story when she was teaching teenagers in Rochester and Panama and learned how sexually active they are. “At What Cost” follows the fictional story of a high school junior who expected to be shopping for prom dresses and not maternity clothes. Her mother lives in fear of her daughter doing something to taint the family name, and her father is oblivious to anything but his 9 to 9 job. To do research on women who have had similar experiences, Andersen teamed up with Sharon Hamilton, the director of Women Services of Jamestown.

Persinger is now a practicing attorney in Erie, Pennsylvania. The “Erie Times-News” described his first book, “The Saint Joseph Plot,” as “fascinating.” Persinger drew from his experiences working on a presidential campaign, in the West Wing of the White House, and at the U.S. Embassy in Canberra, Australia, to write the explosive political thriller.

And for the Frewsburg Rest Home, 106 West Main Street in Frewsburg is the perfect location. “It’s great being a part of village life.” says Steve Sischo, owner. “We try as much as possible to take advantage of all the Village has to offer.” Dennis Bechmann the Home’s administrator, found a resource just down the block at the VSK emporium. One day, while doing a little antiquing at Kit ‘N Kaboodle, which is located in the VSK Emporium, he asked the owner, Kitty Scholeno, if he could borrow some items for a program with the Home’s Men’s Group. Kitty was only too willing to comply. “I told Dennis that he could take any items he thought the residents would enjoy.” The men are assisted by Pat Harvey a volunteer and former employee of the Home. “Generally, the elderly enjoy reminiscing and talking about the past, says Harvey, “An object can often jog memories and start a discussion of the way things were.” In addition, the Home’s resident’s enjoy the challenge of naming items from the past and explaining how they were used. “I thought that I had stumped the men for sure.” quips Bechmann, “but they named every item I brought, including a rusty barb wire reel and chrome pieces from an old parlor stove.” Not wanting the men to get away with anything, the Home’s Red Hatters “booked” their administrator Tanglewood Group Corporate Trainer Jean Gustavson from the Frewsburg Rest Home, looks over a vintage waffle iron that came from Kit ‘N Kaboodle. for September’s meeting. “When I saw Dennis with his cart load of farm implements, I knew that the Red Hatters would enjoy a similar presentation.” says Jean Trisket, resident. “I doubt that he will be able to stump us with any household items.” she added. The women passed with flying colors, they named every item. A Few Kind Words individual wrote about a woman’s appearance in shorts; likening aspects of her figure to the properties of cottage cheese. Others post about the stupidity of their coworkers, or the laziness of people who receive public assistance. Frankly, this use of social media as an anonymous and confrontation-immune sounding board for communication of no meaningful value is harmful and unnecessary. One of the powerful, positive quotes that I have seen is: “Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle” – Plato Heritage Ministries I love Facebook. There; I’ve said it. Several times a day I enjoy scrolling through my news feed and learning what my friends are up to. I smile at the photos of babies, midget football players and muddy dogs, and I am often bolstered by encouraging quotations. It is amazing how informed about one another’s lives and how close we can become in this virtual world. For seniors who might be limiting their travel for financial or health reasons, Facebook can help recreate families separated by distance right from their easy chair. It can even re-establish relationships long thought lost. There is one element, however, that I find disheartening, and that is the posting of negative and hurtful remarks and commentary.

If she is self-conscious, your comments have validated her already low esteem; and if she isn’t, is it really any concern of yours? Do you know whether she is a struggling single mother, caring for a sick parent, or working through a loss? Cruel thoughts and expressions, particularly among women toward one another, diminish us all. We are much more than the sum of our parts, be they fit or otherwise. For seniors coming to terms with limited mobility, changing appearances or weakened voices, even the mildest negative comment can be devastating. Facebook should never serve such misguided attempts at humor or criticism, no matter how mild. The next time you prepare to share something, please read it over one more time.

I am always a bit sad to see it go, heralding that winter is fast approaching. Thoughts of my morning commute to work during the long winter months makes me cringe. Between the warm summer sun and the blustering winter chill, however, lies my absolute favorite season – fall. The crisp, clean air is a welcome relief from the sweltering heat and humidity. Nature offers one sudden, final burst of autumn color, a panorama of amber, crimson, bronze, and coral painted across the skyline. I love the sound and feel of the crunchy leaves beneath my feet, the smell of freshly baked pumpkin or apple pie… or some warm apple cider with a stick of cinnamon. We who are caretakers, personally and professionally, should take advantage of this opportunity to enjoy fresh air with those for whom we care, especially where winters are treacherous and bitter cold. In such winters we would do best not to take our loved ones out on a leisurely basis. So grab some nice warm sweaters while you can, and relish the beauty and bounty that the season offers so richly. A simple pleasure is walking in the fall foliage. If walking is difficult, take a drive to soak in the sights, the harvest festivals and craft fairs, a pumpkin patch, apple picking, a hayride, or even leaf collecting. Remember to enjoy some delicious home baked goods too! Visit. Watch children dive into a crunchy leaf pile and remember the fun we once had doing that ourselves. There are many things to enjoy indoors too. Spend a lazy afternoon with simple crafts. Find great sales of surplus back-to-school items still on the shelves. Enjoy a hot drink and bake some pumpkin or zucchini bread. Soups, stews and chili are my favorite staples of this season. Let the aroma fill your surroundings. Try something new. Be creative. Carve some imaginative pumpkins or stuff a scarecrow. Fall harvest decorating is exciting and fun! Keep your loved one involved and active. Particularly when dealing with dementia we often feel limited in what we can do. You can change your perspective. Focus on what can be done. Make a list of what you need and would like to do, and incorporate your loved one’s strengths, even in small ways. In the later, very limited dementia stages, there is always some way to get them involved. Help them feel useful, stir their senses. Sensory stimulation has been shown to decrease restlessness and agitation in those with dementia. The activities they enjoyed long ago stay with them the longest. What were the long held autumn traditions that they enjoyed? Sentimental memories are always strong. Brainstorm ways to tap into cherished remembrances of yesterday. Fall brings beautiful reminders of the transiency of youth and of life. Be sure to make each and every moment count. October 14, 2013 SPECTACULAR SENIORS Ne w 2 Bedroo Suites at Rouse m Units !

Two Vikings stand ready, swords drawn, horns gleaming in the morning sun. Are they real? Hard to say. You kneel and you say a prayer, and you get your mind right. This won’t be an easy battle, but you didn’t come here for easy. You could back out of the pen, refuse this adventure, but you’d have to excuse yourself and at some point look in a mirror. Be strong –heart of a lion- Be wary –there’s danger out thereCover your fellow’s back –we can all use a little help- most of all…have fun! The Vikings coax a hoorah from the crowd: “We sound our barbaric yawp over the rooftops of the world” (thank you, oh thank you Walt Whitman), a great and giant swell of human energy! You join in, feel blood course through your limbs, a storm building before the storm. There’s a wall out there with your name on it, and there’s hay bales, and water slides, and a cold, thick lake, and rope ladders, and a chest deep swamp, and, of course, there’s mud. Carpe Diem indeed. The second annual Muddy Viking kicked off in chamber-of-commerce Fall weather on the shores of the Lake Chautauqua Lutheran Camp Saturday, October 5th. The four-mile, 26-obstacle, off-road race is held on LCLC’s 150 acres; covered wooded pathways and creekbeds, rolling pastures framing scenic vistas, and lake-front panoramas. The first wave of racers took off at 9 a.m., with more scheduled every 20 minutes. That’s what they are too…a tidal wave of human flesh and energy surging into the day. The first quarter mile is all run, no obstacles, and the pack moves together, all nervous energy, and Bill Burk and Daughter, Sydney, as muddy as Vikings! bon vivant, pregnant with expectancy. About a minute in the first detour comes and you’re thrust onto a small trail in the woods…and everything changes. This was my second go-around of Viking mud. Last year I woke to 11 degrees Fahrenheit, frozen ground, and a sense of dread, my confidence at low tide. I ran with my son, who left me tasting dust and old age. This year the mercury topped 60 by 9 a.m., and I had a few more miles under my belt. My daughter, Sydney, and I were scheduled for the 10:30 wave, and planned to run with friends; a more festive, convivial atmosphere. We ran with, what had to have been, the first family of the 2013 Muddy Viking, the Lawton clan consisting of six, count ‘em six, runners. Dad (Ken) and five children, ages 6 to 15; I don’t know if that’s a muddy record, but try first to imagine even having 5 kids! And then imagine talking them all into running in the mud on a Saturday morning…. and four of them are girls for cryin’ out loud! The older Lawton girls (Katie and Jilly) beat the distance and the mud and won medals in their age groups. The kiddie Lawtons (Addie, Jake and Ellie) muddied up the Lil’ Viking run. Worth repeating, that’s 6 family members who dug mud from ear-holes on a Saturday afternoon and supported the cause. I believe the final tally was around 500 adult Vikings in the run, all eventually cleaning mud from clothes, shoes Pictured right to left: Addie Lawton (6), Jake Lawton (7), Ellie Lawton (9), Jilly Lawton (14), Katie Lawton (15), Sydney Burk (Lawton friend), Karey Loomis (Lawton friend) and orifices. The Muddy Viking: Run 4 Your Life exists to blend adventure, healthy living, play and chaotic fun together as a new way to support Lake Chautauqua Lutheran Center (LCLC) and Lutheran Charities of WNY. Epilogue: Last year, ten minutes into the race there was a Wall, a 12 foot high barbed Berlin Wall, The Great Wall of LCLC, the Wall that took my energy and my heart and part of my soul. I remember needing three runs and plenty of help to get over the Wall; I remember walking the first 100 yards after finally clearing the Wall in a daze of exhaustion; I remember wondering how in the name of Thor’s Mud Pit everyone was hopping over this monster while I was flailing away at it, humiliated and beaten. I remembered all that for 363 days of this past year. This year (20lbs lighter), I scaled that same Wall, demolished it on the first run…and I shook my fist at it and I sounded my barbaric yawp over the rooftop of the world. My but I do love the Muddy Viking.

Hillcrest Celebrates New Beginnings Article Contributed by Hillcrest Staff Hillcrest Baptist Church celebrated the installation of their new Lead Pastor, Rev. Mark J. Hinman, at a special all-church service on Sunday, October 6, 2013. Attendees included members of Hinman’s family, 200+ church members, and Rev.

The WCA Family and community members participated in a, “Pink Ribbon Tree Hanging Ceremony” by tying their own personalized pink ribbon—signed by the person they were paying tribute to—in honor or memory of someone diagnosed with breast cancer around the tree on the front lawn of WCA Hospital at 207 Foote Avenue. Adorned with pink ribbons and pink lights, the tree will serve as a month-long reminder of the friends, neighbors and loved ones whose lives have been touched by breast cancer disease. “It is very reassuring to see these pink ribbons every year,” said Kim Torrey, a breast cancer survivor, employed at WCA. “It is a simple yet important reminder to get your annual mammogram.” For free book marks, shower cards or educational pamphlets on What You Should Know About Breast Cancer, contact Toni DeAngelo, R.N., WCA Hospital Community Health & Wellness Director at (716) 664-8677.

I heard the story of the city’s emphasis on equity, and met with people still invested in the fight. It’s time to dispel the myth: The Lutherans aren’t going to bring Jesus to Detroit. Contributing Writer Pastor Shawn Hannon Hope Lutheran Church, Arcade, NY We, along with much of Europe and the rest of North America (save Canada—they do what they want), set aside the 2nd Monday in October for a little holiday known as Columbus Day. Columbus Day is described as the day commemorating Christopher Columbus’ discovery of the Americas. At least that’s what they taught me in school. These days we are not so naïve as to believe that Christopher Columbus discovered America. In truth we know that people had migrated and settled in the Americas roughly 14,000 (yes, thousand) years before Columbus sailed the ocean blue. And beyond that a Norse explorer by the name of Lief Ericson had journeyed to present day Newfoundland 500 years before the Nina, Pinta, or Santa Maria. It is time to dispel the myth: Columbus did not discover America. A few weeks ago I spent some time in Detroit preparing for the 2015 Lutheran Youth Gathering that will head to the city. In two summers 40,000 Lutheran youth and their leaders will descend upon the city to worship, learn, and serve. For some churches, this is more than just a gathering, it’s a mission trip. They say, “It’s time to bring Jesus to Detroit.” After a week in Detroit, however, I’m not sure we can say that anymore. I spoke with local artists who are turning some of the city’s 79,000 vacant properties into pieces of art and symbols of hope. I ate with a local pastor whose church is the first in the city to offer a comprehensive HIV prevention So often when we talk about evangelism we talk about it in terms of “sharing Jesus.” We talk about faith in terms of “finding” him. But if that’s what evangelism and faith are then it is no wonder we are so bad at them. It is time to dispel the myth: We don’t possess Jesus, and he is not lost. We think evangelism is about us bringing Jesus to other people, and I do not doubt that at times we are called to do that. But most of the time we think we are bringing Jesus, we will soon discover that like America was around long before Columbus, so too Jesus was present well before we arrived on scene. You see, most of the time it’s not our job to bring Jesus to people, but to show others how Jesus is already there. Most of the time it’s simply our job to point, because Jesus doesn’t need to be found, but revealed. And that’s good news for good news people. Because being responsible for bringing Jesus to an entire city is a heavy task. But going to a city to worship, learn, and serve because Jesus is already there is something we can handle. We all know someone who the others (maybe even us) say, “needs Jesus.” It’s time to dispel that myth: They don’t need Jesus. Every breath they breathe, every cent they earn, every act of kindness and love they are shown is a reminder that he is already with them. What they need is to see him. Don’t bring Christ, but be Christ with them today. For more inspiration and insights from Pastor Shawn’s past columns, please visit www.jamestowngazette. com and click on the Faith Matters page.

Van Buren Bay Cosmetics owner, Doug Erick, shows Chautauqua County Executive Candidate Vince Horrigan his product line of skin care products. County Executive Candidate Vince Horrigan Tours North County Businesses and Exchanges Ideas on Economic Development Article Contributed by Chautauqua County Executive Candidate Vince Horrigan Chautauqua County Executive candidate Vince Horrigan, together with area businessman and former Dunkirk City Councilman Kevin Muldowney, recently toured the Dunkirk area. Horrigan’s purpose was to introduce himself to the local business community and to exchange ideas on economic development in the North County. With stops at area businesses such as food stores, Pizza Village, Clarion Hotel, Service Hardware, Weiss Hardware, ADECCO employment and Van Buren Bay Cosmetics, Horrigan heard firsthand what needs to be done to support and grow our existing small businesses. Horrigan toured RemTronics Manufacturing in Dunkirk in August to get a better understanding of the needs of manufacturing companies in Chautauqua County. “I was very encouraged by the response of area business leaders to my visit,” stated Horrigan. “We discussed a wide range of issues, including the development of the Dunkirk Harbor, the North County Water District, cumbersome New York State regulations, property taxes and work force employability issues. My discussions confirmed the need for keeping a lid on our property taxes through lean and efficient government, expanding our workforce development, supporting infrastructure investment and creating more incentives for small business growth. These are the key areas of my plan to grow Chautauqua County,” said Horrigan. “Over the next month, I will be knocking on doors and meeting the residents of North County citizens to hear what is on their mind and to explain my plan for growth. I also encourage area residents to stay tuned to the Legislature meetings and discussions in October as we debate important issues and finalize our budget for the year 2014,” said Horrigan.

Work step by step with our instructor and create and take home a masterpiece that you will be proud to display or even give as a handmade gift! Warm, delicious waves of the buttery aroma waft through the house. A sharp, pop pop pop sound rings out, alerting all to one amazing fact: Mom was making popcorn. Bring a friend or make new ones in our art studio. We provide everything you need! My mother made popcorn the best way their is: a fry pan, a stove, and a lid. The blackened fry pan was a well seasoned friend, complete with a mismatched cream colored top that had seen less dented days. Lovingly, she filled the bottom with oil, dumped in the kernels, and closed the lid. Patiently, she listened, waiting for the tell tale popping. Every now and again, she would swirl the pan over the fire, making sure none of the kernels burnt to the bottom, taking care to ensure an excellent end result. Suddenly, after what seemed like eons, the kernels erupted into fluffy white popcorn, sounding much like small fireworks as they beat lightly against the pan. After the popping ceased, she dumped the popcorn into the large steel mixing bowl, setting it aside as she performed the most important act: melting the butter. Like an expert, she measure out exactly the right amount, plopping it ceremoniously into the still hot pan. Swirling the pan around again, the butter melted into rivulets of golden perfection. Drizzling the hotness over the popcorn, it was finally finished. Bowls were chosen, the treasure was divided, and it was now time to devour our treat in front of a movie. It never mattered much what the movie was…it was simply there to eat popcorn to. At the time, this simple tradition of homemade popcorn and a movie didn’t seem so epic. It was simply what we, as a family, did. When you are in the middle of something wonderful, it’s hard to realize how much you actually have. However, as I pop popcorn for my little family, I think back to the time when I was the little one waiting for a piping hot bowl of fluffy white goodness. Mom, I don’t know if you know this, but I remember eagerly awaiting the times when you would make us popcorn. I remember pulling the white flowered chair into the kitchen to make cookies, standing on top to stir. I remember that you let us lick the beaters when you were done making frosting, and I remember the Saturdays when we would sit and watch “Gigi”, and “Sabrina”. Those were the good things; the simple moments that seemed so matter of fact at the time. I think about those special times often, missing them with all my heart.

Candidates are also encouraged to question one another in true debate form. In this election, quite a few of the candidates are relatively unknown to the public or to voters in the newly defined districts, so it is all the more important for voters to inform themselves of their views.

Shults dealerships, Resale Centers and Express Lube and Tire Centers are located in Jamestown, Lakewood, Westfield, Dunkirk, Fredonia and Olean New York. Pennsylvania Dealerships are located in Bradford and Warren. For additional information visit the Shults Auto Group at www.shultsauto.com.

The Clip O K Joint E E W We have places for manicures in O town, and lots of women enjoy them. Not as many men go there, but we all do need our nails trimmed once in a while, if not beautified. But just this week, I watched as a restaurant customer at the very next table to mine took out a nail clipper and snip, snip, snip sent fragments of fingernails dancing through the air like confetti at a parade. Needless to say, it affected my appetite. There is a place for everything, but that’s not it. Submitted by: Tippy D. Klipper Page 20 • www.JamestownGazette.com Historic marker placed at the Hotel Jamestown New York State Historic Markers Placed in Honor of Robert H. Jackson Article Contributed by Robert H. Jackson Center The Fenton Building at 2 East Second Street, and the Hotel Jamestown, at 106 West Third Street in Jamestown, were recently recognized by New York State as Historic Landmarks. Prominent attorney, Supreme Court Justice and Nuremberg U.S. Chief Prosecutor Robert H. Jackson maintained offices for his law practice in both buildings. Jackson was born in 1892 in Spring Creek, PA and graduated from Frewsburg High School in 1909, spending a post-graduate year at Jamestown High School. Although he did not attend college, Jackson apprenticed in a Jamestown law office and attended Albany Law School for one year. Jackson had a thriving law practice in Jamestown for over 20 years, from 1913 until 1934, when he joined Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal administration and relocated to the Washington D.C. area. He went on to become Solicitor General, Attorney General and an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Following World War II, Justice Jackson was selected by President Truman to be the Chief U.S. Prosecutor at the International Military Tribunal, Nuremberg, where he personally led the trial against the senior Nazi leadership for crimes Jamestown Gazette against humanity, war crimes and crimes of aggression. During a recent visit to Jamestown, Jackson’s former law clerk, E. Barrett Prettyman, Jr. visited both locations and gave his official “Seal of Approval” on the placement of the historical markers. “These markers recognize the achievements of a person who, from rather humble beginnings, invested of himself and reached a very high pinnacle, not just in this community, but nationally and internationally as well,” stated Mr. Prettyman, who also serves on the board of the Robert H. Jackson Center. “I am proud to have known and worked with him.” The Robert H. Jackson Center in Jamestown, New York was established to honor and advance Justice Jackson’s remarkable legacy, pursue the relevance of his life’s work, and to provide an educational facility for those purposes. The Center’s programs place special emphasis on educating youth on issues of justice and fairness and applying Jackson’s work in international humanitarian law as it relates to bringing to trial those responsible for war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide and other serious violations of international law.

Article Contributed by Rolling Hills Radio Hour Dear Jamestown, We are proud to announce that Rolling Hills Radio will now be recorded at the Reg Studio Theater in Jamestown. The first show in our new home takes place Thursday, October 24, 2013. The Reg Studio Theater is located at 108 East Third St, Jamestown, NY. This venue is a mere two blocks from our former home, so the convenience of parking and other geographic considerations are essentially unchanged. Several factors led to this move, the primary one being the overwhelming response of you, the people who come to participate in the recording of our show. As demand has steadily increased, it became clear we needed more seating. Tickets for Rolling Hills Radio have been rapidly selling out for some time now and the Reg offers us a capacity increase of 20-30%. As the season progresses, we will be announcing more changes related to this move. But rest assured, our #1 goal remains to provide a monthly evening of entertainment with one great artist after another. This season October 14, 2013 we are giving you local artists such as Brian Hanna and Stanley Barton. We are giving you regional artists like Jamie-Sue Seal, Gordon Munding, and Austin “Walkin” Cane. We are giving you national artists like Mary Ramsey, Sean Patrick McGraw, and John Lombardo. This show and the giant effort required to move it could never happen if it were not for the incredible efforts of our dedicated volunteer staff. Thanks again to Dick Gould, Drew Emerling, Emily Raynor, and Nancy McGuire. Invaluable expert help comes from Jason Sample, Ed Tomassini, Lynn Warner, and Tammarie Designs. And of course, we must mention our Inspirational Spirit Guide, Dennis Drew. Our main debt of gratitude, however, is with you, the people who support, appreciate, and attend our shows. The message and theme of Rolling Hills Radio begins and ends with the people who are touched by music that reflects genuine humanity. Thanks to all of you. Yer Friend, Ken PS. Don’t delay ordering your tickets for Episode #26 with the Dady Brothers and Max Garcia Conover. This show hasn’t sold out yet, but it will soon. For ticket information www. reglenna.com Fredonia business leader, Ron Johnson, the Democratic and Independence candidate for County Executive, is so certain that he can restore job growth to make up for recent declines in Chautauqua County’s workforce he is willing to risk his own future on it. Johnson says if he can’t accomplish his goal during his first term he won’t seek re-election. Speaking in front of the recently closed AFA, formerly Fairbank Farms plant near Ashville, Johnson said, “Long established county firms are cutting back or leaving the area.” Johnson says his experience and expertise in planning and infrastructure development will encourage existing business owners and attract new employers. Recent closures like AFA will no longer happen. “As leader of a local business I know lowering the burden of state taxes and mandates would be a boon to local businesses.” Successful business operators, however, find solutions and know how to grow, prosper and reestablish their influence in an environment of external regulations. I believe with the right leader our county can do the same.” “I’ve already announced my intention to bring in new leadership and strategically reallocate resources in the county Economic Development Department and Industrial Development Agency to further increase their value and effectiveness. I’ve outlined how we can use the state’s new Start Up New York program to bring new, family sustaining jobs to our area.” Our first priority must be good, well-paying jobs for our citizens. Our children and grandchildren must be able and eager to return to our county with the knowledge that good job opportunities await them. If I’m elected in November you’ll not be hearing me complaining that I’m powerless over our difficulties. We will be growing good jobs…or I won’t be seeking reelection.

For persons hoping to enjoy Bair’s at home, delivery is not an issue at this location, as they deliver to Jamestown, Falconer, Gerry, Kennedy, Frewsburg, and more. Article Contributed by Katrina Fuller Laughter beckons from within, partnered with the irresistible scent of freshly made pizza. A deep fryer sizzles deliciously as a basket of wings is lowered into its depths. The staff members are busy at work, creating edible masterpieces as they cheerfully sing along to the music playing in the background. Cozy chairs and tables adorn the dining room, inviting guests to take a load off and stay awhile. It is certainly a friendly atmosphere, here at Bair’s Pizza. “We are really relaxed,” the owner, Yvonne, says of her beloved restaurant. “It’s a family atmosphere…I’m ‘Momma Bair’ here.” For ‘Momma Bair’, the restaurant business started out as helping out at her friend’s restaurant on the weekends. The opportunity to purchase her own restaurant presented its self, and ever since, Bair’s Pizza has been growing steadily. In January 2010, Bair’s Pizza opened up shop at 5 North Main Street, Russel, PA, and two years later, they added another location at 34 West Main Street, Falconer, NY. Yvonne plans to open another location headed by her son, Montey, at 1635 West 3rd Street in Jamestown, NY, this November. A pizzeria by name, this versatile restaurant offers much more than their famous pies. Strombolis, subs, wings, and more make up the menu, but Yvonne recommends “Yvonne and the crew at Bair’s Pizza” most the country fried steak and the fried foods. “Everything you can deep fry, we have it,” she declares laughingly, mentioning their specialty deep fried pickles and Mac and Cheese. Exclusively served at Bair’s are ‘Andy’s Un-Bair-able Wings’, which Yvonne describes as hot, but flavorful. For those with a sweet tooth, the Reese’s Peanut Butter Pie is a popular item, so large it barely fits in the box. In house, Bair’s is happy to host any event for just the cost of the food. In the future, they are looking to create a birthday package, complete with a birthday cake.
