Safe Haven for New Friends
Article Contributed by

For more than 100 years, ever since
1905, animals in Chautauqua County—
farm animals, pets of all kinds, service
animals, even strays and injured wild
animals—
have had a
champion in
the Chautauqua
County
Humane Society
(CCHS).

for full copies of back issues,
extra content, and more!
In 2003, the
Chautauqua County
Humane Society
Board of Directors
voted in the now well
established policy that
no healthy and friendly
animal would ever
be euthanized due to
overcrowding.
In 2013 the
Humane Society
facilitated
nearly 1,500
pet adoptions,
reunited more
than 130 lost
pets with their

“We save, arrange adoptions for, or
return to the wild more that 97 percent
of the animals that come in,” says Edwin
Rodriguez Jr., Community Relations
Director for the Humane Society. “Only
the rarest ones are too badly injured,
sick or maltreated to help.” In the late
1990, according to
Rodriguez, the save
ratio was little better
than 50 percent.
Thirty years ago, on February 1,
1984 the late Rev. R. Nicholas Rafael,
then at Jamestown’s Greek Orthodox
Church, speaking for himself and a
multi-denominational group of seven
other church leaders from around the
community, announced the opening
of Saint Susan Center. The goal was
to, “provide food for the hungry and
welcome all strangers.”
Surveys at the time prompted them
to project a need to provide 100,000
meals per year for Jamestown’s
children and adults unable to afford
at least one hot meal per day. In
1984 churches in Buffalo and Erie
were feeding 1 percent of their cities’
populations.
Since 1984
In 2013 Saint Susan, now located
in the Gateway Center on Water
Street, provided 108,000 meals. “But
these are more than numbers,” Sue
Colwell, Executive Director at Saint
Susan said. “We are talking about
more than meals here. We are talking
about people. Our 30th anniversary is

Why do you call it that?
I
t’s a pet. You can’t help it, that’s why.
As a verb, pet means “to stroke or pat
affectionately.”
By that definition, of course, my friend’s
vintage 1952 primrose yellow MG-TD sports
car with green leather upholstery and natural
wood interior trim is his pet. It’s almost
embarrassing to watch him caress, I mean hand
wash, the thing.
When he turns the key it purrs. When he
accelerates hard it almost growls. But it can’t
wag its tail. When he comes home at night it
doesn’t greet him like a long lost friend, pant
and slobber and follow him to his man cave
with his slippers.
If you have a pet—definition again: a
domestic critter kept for companionship or
pleasure and treated with affection—you know
the difference.
Poet Shel Silverstein once learned the
difference in his own eccentric way.
“I made myself a snowball
As perfect as can be.
I thought I'd keep it as a pet,
And let it sleep with me.
I made it some pajamas
And a pillow for it's head.
Then last night it ran away,
But first - It wet the bed.”

You get the point. A real pet is a friend, an
uncritical, always-there companion. Whether
it is a goldfish or a golden retriever, a tomcat
or a turtle, it is somehow comforting and
soothing to have another living creature
in your world that responds to you, even
appreciates you sometimes and doesn’t talk
back. Note: that eliminates your teenagers
from the category.
This week the Jamestown Gazette invites
you to go visit, support and even adopt a new
friend at The Chautauqua County Humane
Society. A pet is a wonderful thing, especially
for children. Robert Benchley, 20th Century
humorist, newspaper columnist and film
actor, once said, “A dog teaches a boy fidelity,
perseverance, and to turn around three times
before lying down.”
But the connection might be even deeper.
Writer Orhan Pamuk knows the secret: “Dogs
do speak, but only to those who know how to
listen.”
Though Charlie Brown, keen observer of his
dog Snoopy, says, “They move their lips when
they read,” share your Jamestown Gazette with
your puppy this week anyway… and enjoy the
read.

ACME THE APPLIANCE STORE
located at 1286 E. Second St. recently
raised $800 to help provide meals for
the guests who visit St. Susan Center.
Throughout the holiday season
ACME sold raffle tickets giving the
community an opportunity to win a
50-inch television, with all proceeds
being donated directly to St. Susan
Center.
Christmas Eve Beth Hocking
owner of ACME invited Jamestown
Mayor Sam Teresi to draw the
winning ticket for the television.
This year’s winner was Mary Ann
O’Connell of Falconer.
“We are pleased to do our part to
support St. Susan Center and their
efforts of fighting hunger within our
community”, says Beth Hocking.
Sue Colwell, Executive Director
said, "We appreciate ACME’S
ongoing support to St. Susan Center.
It is because of the generosity of our
community that we are able to keep
our doors open seven days a week”.

a chance for us to thank the people of
Jamestown. They are the ones caring
for their neighbors. We’re blessed
we can be the means for them to do
it.” Rev. Rafael noted in his original
announcement, if there are hungry
in our midst and we don’t feed them,
then we have failed.
A visit to Saint Susan Center
finds the dining area filled with
conversation,
smiles of people
bundled for the
cold, delighted
to share a hot
meal in a place
of warmth and
acceptance. Some
are disabled, most
are unemployed
and a few are
homeless. But best
of all, according
to Colwell, Saint
Susan is often
only a temporary, though life-saving,
haven—a stepping stone to better
times. “After some of these folks get
back on their feet,” Caldwell says,
“they will come back, volunteer their
time or contribute in some other way.
They pay at forward.”
adds. She points to Saint Susan’s
mission statement high on the wall for
all to read. “In response to the Gospel,
we freely offer meals, fellowship,
dignity and respect, to all who come
through our doors.”
Saint Susan was founded through
the generosity of a family whose
daughter, Susan, had died tragically
in Jamestown. Initial funding was
given by the family
in gratitude for
the community’s
kindness and care
for them and their
daughter. They
remain in close
contact with the
Center today.
“In response to the
gospel we provide
food, fellowship,
dignity, and
respect to all who
come through
our doors.”
“We make sure people who come
here also get encouragement and
respect with every meal,” Caldwell

supported entirely
by contributions
which last year
also included more
than 7,000 pounds of fresh produce
grown by generous volunteers all
around Jamestown in “Giving Gardens.”
Volunteers are welcome and Sue Colwell
promises every volunteer will gain at
least as much—and often more—than
the blessings they share with their
neighbors in need. Saint Susan Center is
open Monday through Friday from 11
am to 4 pm and Saturday and Sunday
from 2 pm to 4 pm.
Will you be home for
dinner tonight?
and will “nuke” leftovers if he is in the
mood. He is lucky to have a girlfriend
who will cook for him occasionally,
too. Obviously, the boy won’t starve
to death! I would like to see more
vegetables in his diet, but you know
how that goes…
Contributing Writer
Vicki McGraw
N
ow to me, that seems like
an easy enough question to
answer…yes or no, right? Well,
not so much when I pose the question to
my son Todd. His first response is always
to ask “what IS for dinner.” If I give him
an answer that meets his approval (such
as pizza and wings or lasagna, or better
yet, steak), than his answer is “of course
I’ll be there.” If my chosen menu doesn’t
meet his craving, then I get a mumbled
“maybe.” If I really don’t have a clue as to
what I want to fix, or it is shopping day,
then he is full of suggestions (see the
above mentioned choices!). If I agree to
one of his suggestions, he will show up,
if not, then who knows. Ah the life…
and freedom…of a twenty year old!
Yesterday he offered to go buy groceries.
Since I was tied up at work I agreed to
this, provided he stick to my list (which
he did, for the most part!). My favorite
part of the “experiment” of this was
his first comment, “Man, groceries are
EXPENSIVE!!!” So Mom has been
telling the truth all these years…
As far as I’m concerned, since I
spend my day cooking, the last thing
I want to have to think about when I
get home at night is planning a meal
from scratch. Given the option, my
favorite thing to make for dinner is
reservations! I do try to plan ahead
though, and either have something in
the crock-pot or at least pulled out of
the freezer for a quick fix. As I mention
frequently, I like to cook once to eat
twice so that I can easily pull a casserole
out of the freezer. There is another
issue with my guys being in the mood
for what I might have pulled out of the
freezer, but there come times when it is
eat what is on the table or starve!
With his varied work (and social)
schedules, Todd is home at different
times during the day. Because of this,
I have tried to teach him simple things
to cook when he is home and hungry.
His favorite Christmas present this year
was a breakfast sandwich machine...
simply layer the ingredients and close
the lid! He has mastered frying bacon
and eggs (his favorite food) and makes
a pretty good grilled sandwich. He has
been known to make mac ‘n’ cheese,
Jamestown Gazette
Cooking is such a valuable life skill, I
firmly believe in teaching kids to cook
as early as possible. From the earliest
time I can remember, my Mom let me
help in the kitchen and I have in turn,
done the same with my boys. They
could mix and stir things as little guys,
and loved to use the vegetable peeler!
We had the best peeled carrots you
could ever ask for! They knew how to
make muffins from mixes, so if they
wanted a snack after school, they could
do it themselves. They know how to
boil pasta, as well as bake a pizza. They
can microwave a bag of popcorn as well
as a bowl of soup. I know they will not
starve to death at such a time as they fly
out of the nest…they may not be eating
“well”, but at least they will be eating!
My babies are growing up faster than
I ever imagined they would. I pray that
they have listened to enough of the
many things I have preached to them
over the years that they can be selfsufficient when it comes to cooking for
themselves!

The 60s Hootenanny Remains Infinity Visual and Performing
Alive and Well at Infinity
Arts Welcomes New Instructor
Infinity’s Effort to Preserve the True Heritage
of the Folk Music Hootenanny Continues
Infinity Visual and
Performing Arts, Inc.
Swapping tunes in a relaxed but
enthusiastic setting was the hallmark
of the hootenanny; informal
gatherings of folks who enjoyed
each others’ company, picking
acoustic instruments, and learning
new songs. In contrast to concerts
and open mics, the audience was
the performer at a heritage
hootenanny.
Celebrities
rubbed elbows
with fledgling
guitarists, and
timeless folk
ballads shared the
spotlight with untested original
material.
Infinity Visual & Performing
Arts Café at 115 E. Third Street in
Jamestown, NY will again be the
site of a 1960s-style hootenanny on
Friday evening, February 7th, from
7:00-9:00 pm. Although the evening
will be hosted by the popular
local folk music duo, Doc & Bill,
the focus will be on the audience
members. Admission is free, and
persons of all ages and skill levels
are encouraged to attend, introduce
a song, and lead the crowd in
singing it.
Playing a key role again will
be Infinity’s principal guitar
instructors, Kyle Gustafson, Chris
Cotter and Ken Larsen. All three
have suggested songs for the event
that extend beyond hootenanny
mainstays like Woody Guthrie and
Pete Seeger to include latter-day
singer-songwriters including Bob
Dylan and Bob Marley. “Infinity’s
hootenannies give my young
students a chance to experience the
world of music that lies beyond the
lesson room,” Gustafson said. “The
enjoyment of playing with other
people is a great feeling, as well as
a great motivation to experience
different guitar styles.”
“Besides being a lot of fun,
our hootenannies have given
Infinity’s students a chance to
play with other people in a very
relaxed and nurturing setting,”
said Sarah Marchitelli,
associate director
of Infinity.
“Participating
in a
hootenanny
was the first
step taken by
many artists who went on to
perform and write extensively – as
well as for thousands whose goal
was to play at home for their own
pleasure. Building confidence in
oneself is fundamental to Infinity’s
mission of helping to prepare
young people for success, and
hootenannies are a great way to get
started in the musical sense.”
In keeping with the format of
early hootenannies, Infinity’s
hoots are strictly unplugged; no
sound amplification for voices or
instruments is used, and there is
no stage. Attendees are seated on
chairs in a circle. All are encouraged
to bring traditional acoustic folk
instruments such as guitars, banjos
and mandolins, but any unamplified
musical instrument is welcome.
Doc & Bill will again open the
proceedings with one or two songs
that were standard hootenanny
fare back in the day, and, with
Gustafson, Cotter and Larsen, will
facilitate the festivities from there
on out. Page 6 • www.JamestownGazette.com

Infinity Visual and Performing Arts
is announcing the addition of Kate
Furman as a piano instructor and also
part-time music coordinator.
Kate Furman is a composer and
pianist from Dewittville, NY. Kate is
currently finishing her Bachelor of
Music in Composition and a minor
in English at SUNY Fredonia and
will be graduating May 2014.
While attending SUNY Fredonia,
Kate Furman became very
interested in the surrounding arts
community. Kate served 3 years as
an active member and officer of the
Ethos New Music Society which
strives to bring new music to the
community and campus as well as
provide opportunity for students
to write and perform new music.
She has written for a variety of
different ensembles including art
songs, choral works, small and large
chamber ensembles, and electronic
works. Kate draws inspiration
from literature and art and these
influences allow for a vivid
expression of life and a unique and
eager approach to composition.
Kate’s own music has been
performed throughout Western New
York as well as other areas on the east
coast. In 2011, Kate had a New York
City premier of her work for soprano
and alto saxophone and electronics
We Are Art, written for Jake Swanson
and Sarah Marchitelli.
As an Infinity alumna, Kate has
performed with numerous groups
including Infinity Blues Project
and the Infinity Jazz Quartet and
is excited to be giving back to the
program that gave her the initial
opportunity to learn and perform
music.
This passion for the arts combined
with Kate’s love of performing and
composing music was a perfect fit
when joining the Infinity staff. As a
piano instructor at Infinity she hopes
to nurture the same love for music
and the performing arts that she has.
For more information about Infinity,
and what classes are being offered
by Kate Furman, or any of Infinity’s
upcoming classes, please visit

It’s supposed to be music and it’s supposed

“OK” why did somebody set the volume

CWC to Hold Winter Watershed
Snowshoe & Cross Country Ski Tour
at Loomis Goose Creek Preserve

The Chautauqua Watershed
Conservancy will hold a snowshoe/crosscountry ski tour of their Loomis Goose
Creek Preserve, located on Route 394 in
North Harmony, from 2:00 PM-3:30 PM
on Saturday, February 8, 2014. The group
will re-gather after the tour at Southern
Tier Brewing Company (2072 Stoneman
Circle, Lakewood) at 3:45 PM for warmth,
refreshments and conversation.
The Loomis Goose Creek preserve is 30
acres in size with 25 acres of wetlands, 450
feet of lakeshore, and 3,000 feet of the wild
west bank of Goose Creek. The moving
creek waters help keep this area more
ice-free and available for waterfowl use for
extended periods when the rest of the lake
is ice-covered. As the third largest wetland
on Chautauqua Lake, this site is also one
of the most important fish and wildlife
habitats remaining on the lake, providing
habitat for kingfishers, heron, mallards,
wood ducks, Canada geese, waterfowl,
beavers, mink, turtles and amphibians.
Participants will meet in the parking
lot of the Loomis Goose Creek Preserve
near 2500 Route 394 and Fardink Road
January 27, 2014
in North Harmony. Snow shoes or cross
country skis may be available for rent
directly from Evergreen Outfitters or
Hollyloft Ski & Bike. Participants are
advised to dress for the cold and possibly
wet conditions, being sure to wear
waterproof insulated boots to this wetland
preserve.
The event is free to CWC members with
suggested $5 donation for non-members
and additional cost for refreshments at
the brewery. Interested parties may attend
either or both the tour and warm up.
Pre-registration is requested. To register,
please call or e-mail the CWC at 664-2166
or [email protected] with
your name, e-mail and phone number, so
that you may be notified in the event of
cancellation due to foul weather.
The Chautauqua Watershed
Conservancy is a local county-wide not-forprofit land trust and watershed education
organization that works to protect water
quality through the conservation of lands
that store, filter and deliver clean water
to the county’s lakes, streams and wells.
The CWC promotes healthy watershed
practices and offers technical assistance and

MARC DEATON
LYNNE MCMURTRY
SUNY Fredonia Office of
Public Relations
as well as numerous major operatic roles.
Also devoted to the art of song literature,
she has been hailed by the Toronto Star as
“a force of nature.” With her multi-faceted
2004 performance in Tapestry New Works’
Opera Works, “Opera to Go,” Ms. McMurtry
reached wide acclaim in her CBC broadcast
performance.
The Western New York Chamber
Orchestra will present the third program in its
classics series, “Song of the Earth,” featuring
a world premier arrangement of Mahler’s
beloved work, “Das Lied Von Der Erde, on
Sunday, Feb. 9 at 4 p.m. in Rosch Recital Hall
at SUNY Fredonia.
Guest vocal soloists will include Canadian
mezzo soprano Lynne McMurtry and
American Heldentenor Marc Deaton. The
new truly “chamber” arrangement of the
Mahler is the second arrangement
of the work created by
WNYCO Music
Director and
Conductor Glen
Cortese. Mr.
Cortese also
arranged the work
for chamber orchestra and it
has been receiving rave reviews in European
concert halls. Highlighted instrumentalists
will include SUNY Fredonia School of Music
faculty members Maureen Yuen, violin; Dr.
Susan Royal, flute, Dr. Sarah Hamilton, oboe;
Elizabeth Widzinski, clarinet; Dr. Marc Guy,
French horn; Sonja Inglefield, harp; and Dr.
Kay Stonefelt and Matt Wilson, percussion,
as well as other principal members Gretchen
Fisher, violin; Brian Walnicki, viola; Bryan
Eckenrode, cello; Kristen Pomietlarz,
bassoon, and James Mohney, bass.
Both vocal soloists for this concert are
highly acclaimed international artists. Ms.
McMurtry, a visiting assistant professor
of voice at the SUNY Fredonia School of
Music, boasts performance credits with
the Boston Symphony, Tanglewood, Banff,
Ravinia, and Aldeburgh music festivals,
Heldentenor Deaton returns to the U.S.
from his home in Europe where he is amongst
the most sought after “Wagnerian” tenors of
today. He has appeared in major opera houses
throughout Europe in famous heroic roles
including Siegfried, Parsifal, Lohengrin, and
as Tristan – including a recording of
“Tristan und Isolde,” under the
baton of Maestro Cortese.
Other operatic roles
include Samson, Calaf in
“Turandot,” and Canio
in, “I Pagilacci.” Also a
champion of contemporary
opera, Mr. Deaton has met with great success
in Berg’s “Wozzeck” and Schoenberg’s,
“Moses und Aron,” as well as in numerous
Benjamin Britten operas including, “The Turn
of the Screw,” “Peter Grimes,” and “The Rape
of Lucretia.”
WNYCO is a professional ensemble-in
residence at SUNY Fredonia and is funded
in part by the New York State Council on the
Arts, the United Arts Appeal of Chautauqua
County and the Friends of Rockefeller Arts
Center. Tickets for the concert are available
at the door or by calling the SUNY Fredonia

I Love Jamestown because...
I have lived in Chautauqua County my entire life. I graduated from
Jamestown High School (Go Red Raiders!), Jamestown Community
College, and SUNY Fredonia. And now, proudly teach High School Special
Education and English classes at Chautauqua Lake Central School. I love
living in Jamestown because my family is here. I am very close to my parents,
grandparents, and my two younger brothers
-living in Jamestown ensures that our special
moments are spent together. Another reason why
I love living in Chautauqua County is because of
our Chautauqua Lake, of course! Summers here
are beautiful and our lake and surrounding areas
are some of the most peaceful and serene places on
Earth. I feel very blessed to call this home!

Super Bowl Preview 2014
If we value the game as much as we
say we do (and not just the spectacle
that the games have become), then
we need to stop showing his interview
on continuous loop, and watch the
game. But we don’t value the game, we
value the spectacle, we allow this, as
fans, so we shouldn’t complain when it
happens.
GEZA FARKUS
Geza Farkus to be Inducted into the
Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame
Todd Peterson
The late Geza Farkus will be inducted
into the Chautauqua Sports Hall of
Fame at the organization’s 33rd Annual
Induction Banquet, Monday, February
17th, at the Lakewood Rod and Gun Club.
The amazing story of Farkus is not
only inspirational, but reveals how
his wonderful spirit, strong will and
determination lead to incredible
achievements.
He was born in Budapest, Hungary in
1932. His grandfather was the Minister
of Defense for the country and his father
was a successful business man. The family
was considered to be affluent, but once
the Communists invaded Hungary, their
fortunes changed.
One of his great honors while growing
up was serving as an alter boy for Cardinal
Jozsef Mindszenty.
Farkus became interested in gymnastics
around the age of 12 and from that point
on, put in long, grueling hours of training
that began early in the morning before
school. Once school was over, he took a
bus back to the training facility and worked
for several more hours before heading
home for dinner.
Although he was small in stature, his
gymnastic abilities improved and he was
selected for training with the Hungarian
National Olympic team. He and other
hopeful young boys lived at the facility,
being taught what to eat, how to eat and
when to eat in addition to learning proper
training techniques.
He attended college between 1952 and
1956 and eventually was selected to be part
of the Hungarian Olympic Gymnastics
Team. His best event was the rings.
At the age of 20 in the 1952 Oslo
Olympics he finished 25th in All-Around
and in 1956 at the Melbourne Olympics,
he finished 15th in All-Around. His
Hungarian team won the ’56 bronze
medal, but the team wore black arm
bands at the closing ceremonies instead
of carrying the Communist flag and were
stripped of their medals.
Those medals are now on display
in Hungary where full honors were
eventually bestowed the entire team.
January 27, 2014
Due to the intense political unrest in
Hungary, Farkus, with little training in
the English language, defected to the
United States in 1956 and began coaching
gymnastics at Kent State University.
He was befriended by a group of other
Hungarian refugees who lived in the Akron
area and got a job in the furniture industry
in Akron.
After meeting a man from Jamestown
who was a supervisor at the former Frank
Chase Cabinet Company, Farkus was
offered a job there, moving to the city in
1960. He later worked for many years at
Crawford Furniture as a foreman.
Sadly, in the late 1970s, he suffered a
stroke and also lost the lower portion of his
left leg, but his spirit helped him to fully
recover and gain full use of an artificial leg.
In 1982, he was finally able to return to
his homeland to see his family.
He was selected the YMCA's National
Coach of the Year in 1996 as a contract
employee and joined the coaching staff
formally in 1998 and continued in that role
until his death at 69 in March 2002. He is
survived by his daughter, Robin and his
son, Miki.
In 2004, the Geza Farkus Achievement
Award was established by Stroup's
Gymnastics and is now given to a gymnast
who has overcome situations that would
deter most gymnasts from continuing to
compete in the sport.
Joining Farkas as inductees in the
CSHOF’s Class of 2014 are Vincent
Calarco, Dan Lunetta, Cindy Miller, Al
Muck, Tom Prechtl, Tom Priester, and
Jack Wigley. Sharon Robinson, daughter
of baseball legend, Jackie Robinson is the
guest speaker.
The banquet will begin with a hospitality
session at 5:00 p.m. with dinner to follow
at 6:30.
The official ticket distribution sites are
Fredonia Food Mart on Temple Street
in Fredonia, Calarco’s Restaurant on
Market Street in Westfield, plus Jamestown
Cycle Shop on Harrison Street and the
Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame on Third
Street, both in Jamestown. Tickets can also
be ordered by phoning Chip Johnson at
716-485-6991. The price per ticket is $50.
CSHOF members receive a $5 discount.

O
ne more shot at the NFL
and we’ll call it a wrap.
Conference championships
last weekend. How did we do?
Last Week:
Broncos 26 - Patriots 16
What I said:
I think Brady gets the better of the deal
here (again, if he shows up interested),
and Belichick another nod. He knows
Manning and will have something special
prepared (and it won’t be anything you
and I or any TV talking head thinks it
will be; that’s why he’s so good). Pats win
a close one.
0-1 and I couldn’t be happier. The
Broncos story line this year is as
compelling as it gets in pro sports;
Manning out of football two years ago
with essentially a career-ending broken
neck, John Fox has a heart attack at the
beginning of the season, comes back to
coach in the Super Bowl. John Elway’s
Colorado car dealerships get the Super
Bowl bump, he gets richer. These are
the guys that belong in the Super Bowl.
Last Week:
Seahawks 23 - 49ers 17
What I said:
Seattle is faster and more punishing, and
Kapernick will have to win by passing.
I don’t see that happening. Wilson and
Lynch (the Beast!) make a few more
plays and Seattle moves on to the Super
Bowl.
1-1 and another pretty good guess
for a rank amateur. Seattle had just too
much defense and Kapernick wasn’t up
to the task throwing the ball, especially
when it counted (though he ran for a
heroic 130 yards). Wilson threw for
215 and that helped, but it was that
fast, rugged Seahawk defense that got
that win.
Side note on the “Sherman
interview explosion”: When I first
saw it I thought I was watching one
of the most classless post-game acts
in the history of the game. Then I
remembered that this is entertainment
and he was entertaining if nothing else
(in a Muhammad Ali, Miley Cyrus,
train-wreck kind of way). It gave
everyone something to talk about, and
that’s what sports are all about, right?
Jamestown Gazette
So, the Super Bowl. Another
sport-competition classic war waged
between the proverbial defensive
immovable object and an offense that’s
an unstoppable force. I like offense;
it’s more cerebral and poetic and fun
to watch than crashing around “smash
mouth” defense (who came up with
that saying anyways?? Can we put a
moratorium on this cliché?). I tend to
root for the high wire acts. I’m hoping
for a bomb-show, plenty of scoring. I’m
staying with offense and the favorite
and taking the Mannings. Let’s go with
31-21 (and hope we all have snakeeyes in our office square-pools).
Other random observations:
Great piece in the Jan 20th Sports
Illustrated by S.L. Price (who can
really write by the way). It’s a nice
backhanded slap across the face of
Alex Rodriguez told through the story
of Richard Ben Cramer (who can
also write!). Check it out if you get a
chance.
By the way, did you see that the MLB
player’s union reps wanted to kick
A-Rod out of the union? I don’t believe
there’s really anything more to say on
the subject than that.
In Charlie Daniel’s “The Devil Went
Down to Georgia” I always thought the
Devil’s fiddling was WAY better than
Johnny’s. I mean how do you compare:
“And fire flew from his fingertips as he
rosined up his bow.” With: “Chicken
in the bread pan, pickin’ out dough.”?
Devil 1, Johnny 0, by my reckoning.
Gonna need that soul now kid.
I’ve asked a few football referees
about this one and never gotten a great
answer. Follow me on this: A receiver
is in the front corner of the end zone.
A pass comes to him thrown laterally
across the field so he has to reach back
across the goal line into the field of
play to catch it. His feet stay in the end
zone, but the ball never actually crosses
the goal line. Touchdown? If not,
where do you spot the ball?
Is something going on in New Jersey
politics? I can’t really tell from the
news cycles.

O
n my way home from
work today, I picked
up a bag of apples. I
really enjoy apples, especially
the ones that grow in the tree
we have in our yard. As it is
winter, I had to break down and
buy a bag from the store. This
wonderful fruit is an amazing
snack at any time, but more
often than not, I forget about
them. Rushing around the store,
I grab all the necessities while
trying to wrangle a curious two
year old back into the cart. The
apples stare longingly from
the produce section, forgotten
and abandoned. Today was not
such a day; with a song in my
heart and the wind at my back, I
trundled home with both apples
and child in tow.
As a parent, I find that
simple pleasures such as
apples, solo coffee runs and
romantic dinners often find
themselves left by the wayside.
When you take up the mantle
of parenthood, you are
automatically lowered on the
priority list. Noses need to be
wiped, baths need to be given,
and lives need to be organized.
Time is an enemy at this point,
a ceaseless battle against the
clock to love, live and repeat.
Even as I write this, I’ve gotten
up to attend to urgent issues
such a cup of milk, fixing a toy
or relocating my climbing child
to the much safer floor. Time
alone is a sacred planned event,
wherein I think: “Ok…what do
I do now?”
At home, my husband and I
have to yell to each other over
the dulcet tones of “Curious
George” and “Thomas the
Train”. “HOW WAS YOUR
DAY TODAY?!” I bellow,
hoping to sound interested. He
smiles or raises his eyebrows,
in a secret code only we parents
understand. Sometimes, he
might answer with a positive
head nod. Most of the time, we
forego these pleasantries as our
resident toddler doesn’t enjoy
her shows being interrupted.
In contrast, we find ourselves
lost in those moments when
cluttered toys and sing-song
chatter aren’t part of the
décor. When out to dinner by
ourselves, we chat nicely, but
often something feels out of
place. What did we do before
we had to worry about sippy
cups and booster seats? Didn’t
we used to have fun and talk for
hours? Perhaps we should start
bringing a recording of “Dora”
along with us on these outings,
just to get acclimated.
In all seriousness, this year,
I’ve made it a goal to rediscover
the things that make me who
I am. I want to take an hour a
week to go have a coffee, go
on a date with my husband, or
even just enjoy an apple. Simple
pleasures are often forgotten
amid the bustle of life…and
sometimes, those are the most
sorely missed. To those parents
who feel as if they are lost: start
out looking in the produce
section, between the Granny
Smith and the Red Delicious.
You’re in there somewhere, too.

needed.”
Family Services Employee of the Year.

According to the nominations,
Tony is an exceptional employee. He
relates well to the youth and is highly
respected. “The word ‘no’ is not in
his vocabulary when it comes to
teamwork,” said John Baker, treatment
coordinator and Tony’s supervisor.
“He will come in at a moment’s notice
to help us out. He’s familiar with the
job responsibilities for positions in the
residential program and in the school,
which is a huge benefit. He is very
deserving of this award.”
Tony was chosen from among the
twelve employees of the month at
G.A., who are nominated by their
peers. The nominations are then
Jamestown Gazette
presented to a team of employees who
make the final decision. “Recognition
from our peers is the best form of
flattery,” said Tom Holt, Lutheran
President and CEO. “We’re excited
to see Tony receive praise for his
dedication to our youth.”

program for youth and their families

Spiritual Allergies
Contributing Writer
Pastor Shawn Hannon
Hope Lutheran Church, Arcade, NY
W
hen my daughter, Quinn,
was diagnosed with a
couple of allergies it didn’t
take us long to determine where she
got them. Some people say that sneezes
come in threes. Well, for me, sneezes
come in thirteens. Allergies have always
been a part of my life, and I’ve always
told myself the same thing: “What’s the
big deal? It’s just a runny nose.” That
is, until recently. In the past month
I’ve had two incidents that resulted in
some of the worst hay fever of my life.
Sucking it up is awfully hard when you
can’t stop sneezing.
I never thought I needed an allergist.
After all, all they would be doing is
pointing out the obvious. I already
know what I’m allergic to because I
know what gives me an attack. My
life is an allergy test. I can’t cut the
lawn without sneezing to death. Every
time we go to Carol’s mother’s house
I have to spend as much time on the
front porch as I do inside with them.
So I’m either allergic to my in-laws
or cats, and I hardly need an allergist
to clarify. It’s the in-laws, of course.
But despite making it three decades
without a professional’s help, I thought
last week that it might be time to get
some answers about my allergies once
and for all.
I was tested for allergies last week.
Turns out I’m allergic to dust, cats,
dogs, trees, grass, ragweed, and feathers
(no in-laws after all, huh…). But even
more informative than the list was the
information about allergies the doctor
gave me. My allergies were triggering
reactions and my body was in turn
fighting them. What that means is that
every morning I woke up in a bed with
a down comforter, every afternoon
I spent on the golf course, and every
visit to a shut-in with a dog, my body
was working overtime keeping me
functional. The result was the fatigue
I’ve come to accept as a part of life.
Turns out most people don’t need an
hour nap after 8 hours of sleep. I just did
because I was wasting so much energy
being a tough guy with a runny nose.
As I thought about our bodies and how
much energy we can physically waste
living in environments that are toxic
January 27, 2014
to us, I couldn’t help but wonder if
the same thing was true for our minds
and our souls. I wonder if sometimes,
like our body can be weighed down by
an allergy, our souls can be weighed
down by spiritual burdens. We all
carry baggage. We harbor resentment
against others. We hold on to anger and
disappointment. We let the little lies
about our body image and self esteem
sit in the places of honor in our mind.
Depression, loneliness, self-doubt,
and pity attack us like an allergy we
can’t avoid. And too often we are all
to content to live like that. We tell
ourselves it’s normal, and it doesn’t
bother us. But the truth is we can’t and
aren’t living fully into the promise of
life and peace that God longs for us.
How can we expect our spirits to
experience fullness of joy when half
of our spirit is focused on the sin that
clings so close? We can’t. We’re so
busy fighting our sin like an allergy,
we aren’t living fully into God’s life.
But fortunately for us God’s knows we
struggle with this, and God plans to do
something about it.
1 Peter 5:7 says “Cast all your anxiety
on him, because he cares for you.”
Hebrews 12:1 says, “Lay aside every
weight.” God’s plan isn’t a prescription
antihistamine to help us fight our
burden. God’s plan is:
• For us to let it go.
• For us to stop giving it power.
• For us to stop wasting time being
consumed by death.
• And for us to start living into his life.
Jesus came, lived, died, and rose to put
to death all the things that separate us
from God. Why is it then that we still
hold on to the relics of sin and spend so
much energy being angry, ashamed, or
anxious?
God’s inviting us to cast our anxiety
on him and lay aside every weight. We
wouldn’t continue to sleep with a down
comforter once we found out we were
allergic to feathers. Then neither should
we hang on to sin, when God’s offering
so much more.
I’ll never be able to avoid everything
I’m allergic to, and we will never be
able to fully let go of our sin and doubt
and baggage. But I can take steps for
my body, and we can take steps with
our sin. So to whom do you need to
say sorry? Where have you needed to
grant forgiveness? Where do you need
to turn envy into support or greed into
contentment? Do it today, because, like
Peter says, God cares for you.

James Prendergast Library
developed a Teenage Advisory Council, letting the
youth have a voice. “I like bringing the teens in –
they have a unique perspective.”
Katrina Fuller
Cozy chairs call longingly to entering patrons,
inviting them to sit a spell. A wide, welcoming
counter wraps around the lobby, surrounded
with people dealing in murmured transactions.
Rows upon rows of sky high shelves line the walls,
filled with tomes of knowledge, fanciful tales and
thrilling histories. A hushed excitement drifts
softly through the air, as people delve into stories,
facts and legends, escaping reality one page at a
time. Folks bustle in to attend the latest classes and
events, surf the web or check out movies. There is
always something going on at the James Prendergast
Library, from books and movies, to public events
and Scrabble clubs.
“It’s always nice when the public comes in
and likes what you are doing,” says Tina Scott,
the Executive Director of the James Prendergast
Library. “The community really supports the
library.” The Library has been providing the
community with access to information and
adventure for more than 123 years, given as a gift in
1891 to the city by Alexander Prendergast. Holding
a special place in Jamestown’s history and culture,
the library has kept many of pieces of the original
collection and more. “We have some old scrapbooks

Director, hard at work at the James Prendergast Library.
where librarians used to cut out articles and paste
them,” she explains. “That’s a lot of history!”
Recently, the library has begun to develop more
family programming. There are a plethora of groups
and events, all geared towards creating a fun and
inviting environment for all ages, such as Family
Movie Nights, Puzzle Pals, Story Times and more.
“You can bring your kid to do something nice,”
Tina says of the wide range of engaging activities.
“Last year, we started to focus more on the family
as a unit.” There are also plans to make tablets
available to parents and their children in the library,
loaded with apps to entertain and educate. Taking
strides to include all age groups, the library has also
An upcoming renovation project promises to be
a refreshing change, according to Tina. “We’ll be
able to use existing space without having to add
on…I’d like to use as much space as possible for the
public.” The grant funded project is slated to begin
in April, focusing on creating access to the second
floor, expanding the children’s area, adding a family
bathroom, and relocating restrooms for easier
access. Plans are also in the works to update the
freight elevator into a passenger elevator. “It’s just a
great project – it really opens us up.”
The James Prendergast Library is located at 509
Cherry Street, Jamestown, NY. They are open from 9
am to 8:30 pm Monday through Friday, from 9 am to
5 pm on Saturday, and from 1 pm to 5 pm on Sunday.

help people,” Tina says of her beloved organization.
