New carnival attractions, the famous beer batter fish fry and lots more firemen’s food, fireworks, a beer tent, the hour-long Grand Parade with fife & drums, Frewsburg’s newest fire trucks and about 30 more from neighboring towns, the always fun Zem Zem Shriners Go Carts, Main Events Amusements and lots of live music will be just a part of the excitement at this year’s Old Home Week festivities. Thanks to All “This is our chance to thank folks for their fabulous support at the Frewsburg Fire Company,” said Chief John Lindsey. “We answer about 350 emergency calls a year and cover 90 square miles of southern Chautauqua County,” he added. “We’re all volunteers, and we’re proud to do it.” PHOTO BY THE JAMESTOWN GAZETTE Two of Frewsburg’s Fire Fighting fleet outside of the Frewsburg Fire Department. Events, Food and Fun The Frewsburg Fire Company Old Home Week opens at 6:00 p.m. Wednesday, June 25, and continues at 6:00 Thursday and Friday nights at the Frewsburg Fair Grounds. The Grand Parade steps off at 1:00 on Saturday afternoon followed by fireworks at dusk. “The fish fry is on at the Fairground Food Building from Wednesday through Saturday,” said Alex Demaio, Fire Trustee and foodmaster for the event. “On Friday and Saturday nights the famous Fish Dinner always draws big crowds.” Hot dogs – traditional American and loaded Italian sausage – burgers, beverages and snacks round out the festival fare. Main Event brings fifteen traditional carnival rides for both children and adults. The carnival also includes the ever popular “I Got It” game. “And don’t forget the always popular Fowler’s Taffy & Candy and good old fashioned cotton candy for the kids,” Moore added. “Kids can meet the firemen, too, and see the fire trucks up close.” “We’ll have a long line-up of festival floats in the parade, too,” added Fire Captain Tom Moore, “along with the American Legion Color Guard, The Police Department, local scout troops and much more.” According to Moore, the Old Home Week festivities take months to organize by the more than 35 regular volunteer firefighters, their friends, families and town officials. Life Saving Support The hard work is rewarded every year by the festival goers’ support. A percentage of the Old Home Week proceeds – also remembered by many local folks as Gala Days – supports the Frewsburg Fire Company. “Saving a life is OLD HOME WEEK, PG. 10 WCA Honors 159 Employees for Long-Term Service Article Contributed by WCA Hospital One hundred and fifty nine employees were honored for their years of service at the 55th WCA Hospital Annual Employee Recognition Dinner held on Monday, June 16th at the Lakewood Rod & Gun Club, Inc.

Article Contributed by Jamestown Public Schools JHS Senior Alex Harvey was recently named the Chautauqua Striders' Volunteer of the Year during a reception sponsored by the United Way of Southern Chautauqua County. Pam Gustafson, Chautauqua Striders' Academic Coordinator, presented the award to Mr. Harvey at a ceremony. "I met Alexander when he attended Holy Family Catholic School where he was in my fourth grade class. At the age of nine, he possessed a sense of fairness and justice beyond his years. His choice to serve his community through volunteerism and his career plans of international studies further exemplifies the truly extraordinary person he is," said Gustafson. Mr. Harvey was interested in finding a place to volunteer his time. He had used Chautauqua Striders for tutoring and SAT help so he contacted Mrs. Gustafson to see if he would be a good fit for their tutoring program. He began tutoring at the Fletcher Advantage After School Program last year, Monday through Friday. This year, he split his time working three days a week directly for the after school program and the other two days tutoring elementary school students in the library helping them with homework. "The kids are great. I have such a nice time working with the students," said Mr. Harvey. "I help first through fourth graders with their math homework. They are so funny and make me laugh everyday. I hope I'm also helping them and improving their lives." Mr. Harvey will be attending American University in the fall studying under its Global Scholars Program, which accepts only 25 students each year. He plans to study International Relations and Political Science with his dream goal to become an international war crime attorney like his hero, Robert H. Jackson. Mr. Harvey has taken seven advanced placement courses at JHS and has won numerous awards, honors and scholarships. He has also taken courses at A.U. in anticipation of beginning his college career. Originally founded in 1979 as a local track club, Chautauqua Striders has since developed into a multifaceted community organization, proudly offering diversified programs that incorporate its mission to "Mentor and guide youth through education, advocacy and athletics." The not-for-profit agency, based in Jamestown, New York, provides tutoring, mentoring outreach and athletic programs to more than 1,800 Chautauqua County youth annually. The goal of Chautauqua Striders is to help youth graduate high school inspired with the knowledge, skill, and confidence required for successful college and career experiences.

Mark Hannon Circulation.......................................................James Jarosz Our Kind of Parade! verybody loves a parade, they say. And we have lots of them, thousands every year across the U.S.A. As a matter of fact, we dream up more and more reasons to have parades, and some of our dreams are definitely of the weirder sort. For instance, 2014 will greet the 36th annual St. Stupid Parade in San Francisco, sponsored by the First Church of the Last Laugh and Bishop Joey. Saint Stupid is the patron Saint of Civilizations and Parking meters. This year’s grandstand will occupy the first of many Stations of Stupid; the Federal Reserve HQ. Then there’s the Port of Los Angeles Lobsterdog Pet Parade for dog owners who march their crustacean-costumed pets down the streets of Ports O’Call Village. Another one, the Occasional Pasadena Doo-Dah Parade, is a celebration of weirdness featuring marching groups such as the Kinetic Pastry Science Mobile Muffins and The Highland Park Thursday Evening Gentlemen’s Society Circuit Bending Marching Band & Ladies’ Auxiliary. And of course, there’s the Hot Springs, Arkansas, World’s Shortest St. Patrick’s Day Parade with a route that is only 98 feet long. Participants include Irish Elvises, the San Diego Chicken and bagpipes. My point is this: We don’t have parades of 100,000 jack-booted storm troopers, nuclear warhead-tipped intercontinental missiles and enough tanks to flatten Hoboken, New Jersey without firing a shot. Our military parades simply and humbly honor the fallen and thank the serving. American parades are for fun and service and the best of patriotism. So get ready for one of our own, right here at home. Please accept the Jamestown Gazette’s invitation this week to enjoy Frewsburg’s celebration of Old Home Week. It’s a carnival, a festival of the finest country fair style food, a night sky filled with fireworks, and of course, an hour-long parade honoring and supporting Frewsburg’s firefighters and first responders who keep watch day and night over 90 square miles of Southern Chautauqua County for us. They’re here and they’re ours because of your support. Enjoy the parade, and as always, enjoy the read. Walt Pickut Editor The Jamestown Gazette PS: You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness. You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism. -Erma Bombeck CONTRIBUTING WRITERS Carolyn Wilcox...................................

It’s the fourth weekend in June and the natural setting and friendly small town atmosphere of Kane, Pennsylvania, have lured the artists to Evergreen Park for the Eighth Annual Art in the Wilds outdoor show. The white tents are set up and out of the cars and vans come wonderful teases –brilliantly colored canvases, tiny boxes with shimmering treasures, smooth-as-satin woodturnings, and delicately drawn figures. The artists are setting the stage for a beautiful show. Sitting on a porch on a spring evening in 2006, the Art in the Wilds show began as a discussion amongst friends. Wouldn’t it be great to make Kane a destination for fine artwork? Co-founders David and Marilyn Blackmore knew that there was already interest in the area for the arts. Kane’s location nestled in the state-designated “Pennsylvania Wilds” region, produced the name of the show. After researching other art shows and interviewing artists and show organizers, a committee of people with specific skills was put into action. With the goal to expand the role of the arts in our rural communities, Art in the Wilds has, from the beginning, placed a strong emphasis on showcasing quality work. Placing a top priority on providing an exceptional show, the organizers work hard year to meet the needs of the participating artists while providing the visitors with a fresh experience. Browsing the artwork visitors have the opportunity to talk with each artist and discover what inspires them to create their unique artwork and artists are encouraged to demonstrate their techniques on site. Watching as a mound of wet clay is turned into a fine bowl or mug is both informative and inspiring for the viewer. Art in the Wilds is a juried art show. To be accepted into the show, the artists must go through an application process. Submitted photographs of their recent work are juried on overall impact, originality, presentation, design, and mastery of their chosen technique. All work must be the artist’s original creations, made by hand. The artists displaying their work come primarily from Pennsylvania and neighboring states in the mid-Atlantic region. They bring a variety of creative media including acrylic, oil, and watercolor painting, drawing, pastels, woodturning and woodworking, jewelry, photography, ceramics, glass, fiber arts, leather and metal sculpture. Located in the northern Alleghenies of Pennsylvania and surrounded on three sides by the Allegheny National Forest, Art in the Wilds attracts visitors from a wide radius, including western Pennsylvania, western New York and eastern Ohio. They have discovered that the Art in the Wilds show is an ideal setting to browse and purchase the artwork of the creative artists and artisans. To get to Kane, PA, visitors travel through beautiful hardwood forests, enjoy the lushness of June in the Pennsylvania Wilds. Free parking around the perimeter of the park invites visitors to step out and stroll the artists’ booths. The Art in the Wilds show is organized by an all-volunteer team of committee members under the leadership of co-founder Marilyn Blackmore. All of the show organizers work hard to represent quality artwork and a balance of the different creative media to ensure a tantalizing shopping experience. The committee works year round to set dates, produce marketing materials, plan the venue, and recruit vendors. The critical job of securing the artist, sponsors, and vendors is a process that begins many months ahead of the show. The director and committee members are all volunteers. Local sponsors are recruited to support advertising and marketing efforts. The show has successfully qualified for grants from Pennsylvania Partners in the Arts (supported by the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts), the Lumber Heritage Region, and the Kane Community Development Foundation. The Kane community welcomes the many visitors during the show weekend and the artists and visitors appreciate the hospitality tent and the cadre of onsite volunteers. It thrives on the crucial support of the sponsors in the community. Significant donors include the Kane Community Hospital, an Affiliate of UPMC Hamot and Cameron, Elk and McKean LINK to Aging and Disability Resources and. The friendly atmosphere of the Kane community, along with the quality of the work being exhibited, has contributed to the growth of the show, which began in 2007. Visitors to the Art in the Wilds show can stroll over to the historic Kane Depot, one block from the park. There they will find ArtWorks at the Depot, and artists’ cooperative, which displays and sells the work of area artists. Also at the depot are local historic artifacts and a selection of Holgate toys. A variety of food vendors are available in Evergreen Park for lunch and snacks and there are restaurants available in ‘Uptown’ Kane. The Eighth Annual Art in the Wilds show will run from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, June 28-29. “Coyote Moon” the musical duo of Denise Drummond and George Stephen will perform in the gazebo 3-5 p.m. Sunday afternoon.

Galactic Systems Headquarters Infinity Announces Plans to Move to New Downtown Location Requests Submissions for Lynn Building to Provide More Space, 4th Annual Space Art Show Article Contributed by Galactic Systems Headquarters The 4th Annual Space Art show will take place in The Forum at Galactic Systems Headquarters on July 16th at 7 p.m. At this time, the Forum is calling for submissions from artists for space related art. This artistic celebration of space takes place each year during the anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon mission. The artists involved are invited to run wild through the cosmos creating art from robots to spaceships, and science to stars. Artists that work with all types of media and subject matter are encouraged to submit their work, as long as it is somehow space related or inspired. Space themed science fiction inspired works, with both serious and absurd viewpoints are encouraged. Also welcomed are historical tribute artwork and depictions of real space achievements. There is no limit to the number of works that can be submitted and there are no size restrictions. Submissions must be emailed to [email protected] by July 10th. Past Space Art exhibits have displayed art from all over the United States and world, including Oregon, Louisiana, Mexico, and Spain. In past shows, local artist Gary Robert Peters Jr. has contributed two intriguing works of art, including a historical tribute to Laika, the first dog in space. The other is a more fanciful work, showing an astronaut walking a dog on the moon in a little doggy spacesuit. This is just one of many featured artists who have been a part of this exciting space themed gallery show in Jamestown, NY. The annual Space Art show is a project of Galactic Systems, LLC. Part of the company’s mission is to advocate for aerospace research and education, by creating a place in the community for scientists and citizens to explore creativity, science and ideas. Leonardo Da Vinci once said “Art is the Queen of all sciences communicating knowledge to all the generations of the world.” Space Art 2014 represents this ideal by creatively advocating for a robust aerospace engineering infrastructure, which is vital to improving the economy, as well as the pace and prevalence of manufacturing in the United States. 716-450-7357 SPIRETHEATER.ORG 317 E 3rd St. Jamestown, NY 14701 Capacity for Youth Arts Organization Article Contributed by Infinity Visual and Performing Arts, Inc. The Infinity Visual and Performing Arts, Inc. Board of Directors and Executive Director Shane Hawkins are pleased to announce plans to relocate from Infinity’s current home at 115 E. Third St., Jamestown to the ground floor of the Lynn Building at 301 East Second St., Jamestown. As the county's leading visual and performing arts organization, Infinity is thrilled to find a new home that will provide more space to grow and expand arts programming. “During the past couple years, we’ve seen a sharp increase in student enrollment at Infinity,” explained Jason Sample, president of Infinity’s board of directors. “As a result, we realized that the need for additional space was quickly becoming an issue. At the start of this year, we made it a priority to look for and explore various options. We soon learned that space was available in the Lynn building and with the help and generosity of Lynn Development LLC, we were able to finalize an agreement to move Infinity into a new home. The new location will not only provide nearly 40 percent more space for Infinity, but also long-lasting stability for the organization.” “The partners and management of Lynn Development are truly inspired by the honorable work done by Infinity. It is our privilege to be the stewards of their new home and to do our part to contribute to their legacy for decades to come,” Jason Spain, President of Lynn Development said. The agreement between Infinity and Lynn Development covers a period of ten years, with two additional five-year options to extend the lease. This means that the Lynn building could serve as the home for Infinity up through the year 2034. "We can't express enough our appreciation and gratitude to Lynn Development for provid- ing Infinity with this opportunity," Hawkins said. "Maintaining a presence in downtown Jamestown was very important to us. The fact that the Lynn building is practically across the street from Jamestown High School, where many of our students come from, is a huge plus. Add to that the additional space we'll have available for programming and it's safe to say that we are extremely pleased with the new location. We couldn't have asked for a better outcome." In the coming weeks, Infinity will begin an aggressive campaign to help prepare the 14,100sq/ft space for occupancy, which is projected to cost $220,000. The campaign will not only focus on fundraising, but also recruiting volunteers and construction supplies to help reduce expenses. “Our goal is to be ready to move into the new space by mid-September,” said Hawkins. “Between now and then, we’ll be meeting with and mobilizing community stakeholders to help us bring this project to completion.” Infinity will continue to operate out of its East Third St. location, which is owned by the city of Jamestown, until the new space is ready. “We’d like to express our gratitude to the city for leasing space to Infinity the past several years. We’ve seen remarkable growth during those years and we are so pleased to be able to continue our presence in the downtown Jamestown area, expand our services and build our brand throughout the community.” Sample said. Anyone wishing to learn more about the relocation project is invited to contact Infinity. Designs and blueprints for the new location have also been drafted and are available for viewing inside Infinity’s current location at 115 E. Third, St. More details on the relocation effort and campaign will be coming in future weeks. For more information, to make a donation toward the campaign, or to find out how to volunteer for the project, contact Infinity at (716) 664-0991 or visit www.InfinityPerformingArts.org. 6 JAMESTOWN GAZETTE www.JamestownGazette.com COMMUNITY Friends IN THE COMMUNITY ADVERTISING Get Noticed Here!

To assist with future flooding and other disasters in the community, the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation awarded $10,000 to the Red Cross from the Chautauqua County Assistance Fund. To date, the Chautauqua County Assistance Fund has granted over $50,000 to the Red Cross for disaster relief services. According to Bill Tucker, American Red Cross of Southwestern New York executive director, this grant will enhance the impact volunteers are making in the community to provide local disaster relief. “Volunteers do over 90 percent of our essential humanitarian service delivery to families in need here in Chautauqua County. Our volunteers are incredibly dedicated, and are the next to respond, right after our wonderful first responders, whenever a family needs aid in the aftermath of a disaster. None of our work would be possible without the tremendous time, effort, and knowledge contributed by our phenomenal volunteers, or without the generous financial contributions we receive from our local supporters.” Chautauqua County disaster response teams are trained to respond to the “silent disasters” that occur on a regular basis, to include single family and multi-family house fires. While they do not get the attention that other major disasters may get, these events are just as catastrophic to families that have lost everything and are in need of immediate shelter, food, clothing, and emotional support. In addition, when major disasters occur in other parts of our nation, these same volunteers are called upon to travel to the impacted areas and to use their experience to help others in need. Over the last 11 months Red Cross disaster volunteers serving Chautauqua County have conducted 48 operations to provide disaster relief to 315 people, provided direct financial aid to 166 residents, and opened 10 shelters in response to floods, blizzards, and road closures. The Red Cross in Chautauqua County has also provided free preparedness training to 647 residents as part of their initiative to help improve community resiliency. If you would like to become a trained Red Cross disaster volunteer able to respond locally, regionally, or nationally, please call the American Red Cross of Southwestern New York at 664-5115 or go to www. redcross.org/swny and learn how to join.

Article Contributed by Jamestown Public Schools The JHS Raider Readers recently held their bi-annual book swap in the library. Students and staff were asked to bring books from home that they have read and would be willing to trade. The books change every set so students have fresh and interesting choices from which to choose. The book swap is just one of many activities the club participates in including: collecting, sorting, and donating books to the Chautauqua Striders' After School Program and publishing a monthly "top ten" reading list at JHS. The Raider Readers Book Swap is a very popular activity that the club holds right before holiday and summer breaks to encourage reading. Senior Raider Reader, Danielle Bertolini, commented: "The book swap is a great opportunity for students who wouldn't otherwise take the initiative to look for books on their own. This year, I swapped for a beautiful copy of Oliver Twist and a Dan Brown thriller!" The JHS Raider Readers promotes reading just for the fun of it. Students read, discuss, and share their thoughts, reactions, and responses to the books each month, with the help of advisor Barbi Price. The Raider Readers participate in community reading activities such as "The Big Read," "Books on the Bus," and "Read Across America."

Every penny is worth it to the community, of course, so we do everything we can to make the best use if it.” About 80 percent of local emergency calls are for the Company’s EMS (Emergency Medical Service) first responders, paramedics and EMTs (Emergency Medical Technicians), according to Lindsay. Even hard to reach emergencies are in range now with the Company’s specially outfitted ATV. “We’ve put out remote grass fires and saved injured people from the deep woods who would have been lost without the ATV,” Lindsay added. Locations with limited water supplies can be served, too, by the 1500 gallon per minute water pumper tank truck. The fire company also deploys a rescue boat for water emergencies. Safety First The safety conscious and experienced crews at the Frewsburg Fire Company even apply their training to running their fairgrounds and parades safely. New York State safety inspectors are called in for a day of careful, detailed carnival grounds and ride checks before the event. This year’s selection of Main Event Attractions of Syracuse, NY, reflect their outstanding safety record over many years in serving events like the Frewsburg Old Home Week, according to Moore. Outfitting Your Firefighter Complete gear for a single firefighter helmet, boots, fireproof coat and bunkers (pants) – can cost as much as $2,500, topped off with a $1,000 air pack. “We’ve had a few injuries over the years,” Lindsay said, “it’s dangerous work. But we’ve never had a firefighter fatality. It takes a combination of the best gear, good training and smart teamwork.” Old Home Week is all about community support for community safety.

The work of about a dozen students will be represented at the library along with a variety of pieces by their teacher. “Acrylics are so popular now, amateurs rarely paint in oil,” Mrs. Gilbert said, but visitors will see many other types of painting including theorems, reverse glass paintings, and watercolors. “Theorems have to be oil on velvet using a very old process. Artists always copied the look using pastels and soft colors, but the one in this show is bright colored, a step in a new direction,” she said. Reverse glass painting is done on the “wrong” side and on two or three pieces of glass to give it dimension. Viewers will also see metal trays decorated with gold leaf and crazy quilting. “That’s very enchanting. No two people can ever make one alike,” according to Mrs. Gilbert. One woman has been coming to class for 47 years, while others are new. There is also a class for men, and all students work on individual projects. “I build confidence in people. If they think they couldn’t do it, and after a while they feel very comfortable, I love that part of it,” the teacher said. Each artist is developing, and the works reflect various stages of accomplishment. “What’s important to me is that they’re able to express their own creativity,” Mrs. Gilbert said. “When people bring things in or tell me about something they saw and think they’d like to try it themselves, I say, ‘I can help you do that.’ I enable them.” The next library show will be works by artists from Aspire of Western New York. Library hours are 9 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Monday through Friday; 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays; and 1 to 5 p.m. Sundays. Prendergast Library is located at 509 Cherry St., Jamestown. For more information, call 484-7135, Ext. 225.

COURTESY PHOTOS Article Contributed by Tanglewood Group Downsizing, or moving into a smaller space is a difficult decision to make for many reasons, including the loss of independence. The challenge of maintaining one’s own home is often the first thing that causes many seniors to consider other housing alternatives. Concerns about future needs for increased assistance with daily tasks can complicate matters further. The Tanglewood Group’s ‘Cottages on the Pond’ offer worry-free living. Utilities, phone and cable, as well as all maintenance - such as lawn care, snow removal, and trash pick-up are included in the base rental price. Cottage residents can choose from a variety of extra services such as transportation, housekeeping, laundry, meal delivery and medication management for an additional fee as they become necessary. This continuum of care allows for gradual aging-in-place. In addition to health and maintenance assistance, Tanglewood also offers many social activities to residents of the cottages including picnics and cookouts, fishing tournaments, dances and musical entertainment. Access to the Louis Ferreri Memorial Park and the Wellness Center are also included in the monthly fees. The neighborhood feel and the personal attention that cottage residents receive from the staff help families to feel secure in the knowledge that their loved ones are safe and looked after even though they are living in their own home. As one cottage resident’s daughter writes; “It has given the family a great sense of peace to know that people are looking in on my mother daily since we can’t always be there.” The Cottages on the Pond are the perfect blend of healthcare and independence. The monthly pay one price option is easily the lowest cost alternative in Chautauqua County for couples that are exploring new housing options.

JAMESTOWN GAZETTE www.JamestownGazette.com SENIORS June 23, 2014 FAITH MATTERS with PASTOR SCOTT HANNON Join Me in the Kitchen with Vicki McGraw Road Rage Summer Celebrations St. John Lutheran Church, Amhert, NY Y esterday, I was driving down the Kensington Expressway in Buffalo, completely stressed out of my mind. I had to run into the city to pick up my daughters, Molly and Laney, from day care. The plan was to run them home, drop them off with my wife (who may or may not be home), and then head back downtown for a wedding rehearsal. I had 45 minutes to accomplish a task that normally takes an hour. My mind was racing while I was racing. I was worried about being late for the rehearsal. Frustrated that I didn’t have enough time. Concerned that my wife might not be home. And that’s when I heard my daughter Molly in the back seat say, “Jesus.” My first thought was, “Jesus! Did I just say ‘Jesus’?!” That’s when Molly said it again. “Jesus.” And again… “Jesus.” And finally she said, “Jesus Christ is born.” As it turns out, she was reading a Christmas book (which I assume normal kids read in June). Hearing my daughter repeating the word “Jesus” in the middle of my panic and road rage was cute and calming. I started thinking about what really matters and I reprioritized my life. Step one: Get out of your head and talk to your kids. Step two: Get home and make sure they’re safe and taken care of. Step three: Head back out deliberately and carefully. After all, being a few minutes late is not ideal, but it also isn’t the end of the world. “Jesus.” “Jesus.” “Jesus.” “Jesus Christ is born.” Amen, Molly. Thanks for the reminder.

It is like we woke up one day and flipped the switch…a cold, wet spring has turned into the glorious bright colored warmth of summer! This past week has given us some of the warmest days yet of this young season, albeit a tad humid! This time of year also gives us many reasons to get together and celebrate. Jamestown students have already had the chance to walk across the stage at Chautauqua and receive their diplomas, other surrounding schools will repeat the scene over the coming week. Father’s Day gave us an opportunity to honor all that our dads have done – and continue to do - for us. And in my household, one of the more exciting days was my son, Todd’s, 21st birthday. We continue to celebrate! July 4th is just around the corner and will be another one of the focal points of our summer celebrations. My brother, Scott, was born on the 4th of July, so his birthday will be our next family celebration. Much to his disagreement, I do have to remind him that the national celebration does NOT revolve around him! We do, however, usually celebrate with him at some point during the day. My Mom will generally have us over, and food is always a big part of our get-togethers. Birthday cake, of course, but the rest of the menu can be chosen by the birthday boy if he wishes, so it will be most likely be hot dogs and hamburgers. Add to that a couple of salads and maybe some fresh fruit and we’ve got a great picnic buffet! As I have preached before, when planning picnic menus, you must be aware of the ingredients that do not handle the heat very well. Any mayonnaise or salad dressing based dish can be dangerous to have sitting out of refrigeration on a hot day. It is better to have salads that have clear dressings rather than creamy dressings, as creamy dressings spoil much quicker than others. The rule of thumb is to keep cold foods refrigerated or on ice at a temperature of 45° or below to 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. avoid spoilage. Likewise, hot foods should be kept at a holding temperature of 145° to keep them safe to eat. Any food that has been out of a safe temperature for two hours should be discarded (not just reheated or recooled). Nothing ends a party quicker than a stomach ache! Vinaigrettes and other oil and vinegar based dressings are perfect for summer salads. Not only will they hold up to warmer outdoor temperatures, but the flavor combinations you can try are endless. By simply combining extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) with an acid, such as white vinegar or lemon juice, and adding fresh herbs, you can make an enticing dressing for boring old potato or pasta salad. I like to infuse the herbs into the vinegar before making the dressing; simply add your fresh herbs to white vinegar and allow the flavors to mingle in a sealed container in a dark place for a few days. The light flavors of your herbs will blend with the acid of the vinegar and leave you with a subtly flavored base for your dressing. We tend to think of traditional flavors and styles for our side salads, but don’t be afraid to experiment and come up with a new “signature salad” of your own! I’ll bet everyone will be asking for your secret recipe! Balsamic Potato Salad • 3-4 lbs red skinned potatoes (washed, skin left on) • 1 small onion, diced • 2 stalks celery, diced • ½ sweet red bell pepper, diced • 1 pt grape tomatoes, cut in halves • 1 c sliced black olives • 6 hard boiled eggs, diced • 1 carrot, peeled and shredded • Salt and pepper to taste • 1 T fresh parsley, chopped • 1-2 c balsamic dressing (dress to taste) • Cut potatoes into bite sized cubes and boil until just tender. Drain and gently toss with ½ c dressing; set aside to chill while preparing other ingredients. • When potatoes have chilled, gently mix with all of the other ingredients, being careful to not mash the potatoes or the eggs. Add dressing to taste and desired wetness. Sprinkle top with additional chopped parsley to garnish.

I spend too much time thinking about what’s next and not enough time with the people I am with. I check my cell phone incessantly. Sermons swim through my brain when I should be listening to my wife. And to tell you the truth, it’s kind of exhausting. In scripture Jesus says, “Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don’t get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes.” (Matthew 6:34 The Message translation) “Give my attention to what God is up to right now.” That’s a novel concept. “Don’t get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow.” Impossible. As crazy as it sounds, I think Jesus knew what he was talking about. He knows we are wired to worry. He knows how easily distracted we can be. And so he gives real life, concrete counsel: Get out of your head and get in the moment. Take care of right now and don’t worry about tomorrow. I’m going to try that today. I think you should too. And when we fail (like we tend to do) let’s try again. After all, our current pattern only begets more drama and stress and Jesus really does have the words to eternal life. 13 14 JAMESTOWN GAZETTE www.JamestownGazette.com PUZZLES / SPORTS PUZZLES SPORTS with CODY CRANDALL COACH’S CORNER Q & A with Brian Esposito Edited by Margie E.

Q: After having an extended playing career in professional baseball, how do you feel that has helped you develop as a coach? A: Well, I think my career as a catcher helped me a lot. Being a catcher helped me understand a lot about the game. It helped me learn about pitching, while also focusing on hitting. I almost felt like the whole game was always right in front of me. I learned how to help pitchers through the game as their catcher, and I tried my best to put my teammates in positions to be successful. That’s some of what I’m going to try to do as a manager.

DHHS Announces Upcoming 2014 Animal Rabies Immunization Clinics Article Contributed by Chautauqua County Department of Health & Human Services Vaccinations will be provided free of charge to all dogs, cats and domesticated ferrets three (3) months of age and older. All pets must be on a leash or in a cage and pet owners should bring rabies vaccination records for each animal that will be receiving a shot to ensure proper and effective vaccination. New York State Public Health Law requires each dog, cat and domesticated ferret over the age of four months to be vaccinated against rabies and county residents are encouraged to be responsible pet owners by having their pets vaccinated. Rabies is a very serious disease of warmblooded animals caused by a virus. Raccoons, bats, skunks and foxes are the common disease carriers. The virus is transmitted to humans and animals through saliva and it can enter the body from a bite, scratch, scrape or open cut. The rabies virus infects the central nervous system and can cause brain swelling and ultimately death within days of the onset of symptoms. For more information about the clinics and rabies in general, visit http://www.co.chautauqua. ny.us/243/Environmental-Health or contact the Division of Public Health at (716) 753-4481.

Your purchasing power goes back into the pockets of entrepreneurial business owners and their employees who then, in turn, support other local businesses and service providers. This summer, we are urging everyone to shop locally to boost our own Chautauqua County economy. Helping to drive foot traffic into local businesses is one of the five focal points of the Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce. When you shop local or utilize local service providers, you are supporting local businesses and local jobs and you are making an investment in the future of our community. Small business is a critical component to a viable community. When you buy local you make a significant impact on your community. You may be saving a job or you may be helping that local business owner make a new investment, hire an additional employee, or make an improvement to their store. The Civic Economic Survey of Independent Businesses, in a recent study, showed that local, independently owned businesses in all retail sectors have a 48% recirculation rate. That means that 48-percent of all sales go back into the local economy when consumers shop locally. For restaurants, the same study shows the recirculation rate is even higher at 65%. Researcher David Boyle of the New Economic Foundation said, "Money is like blood, it needs to keep moving around to keep the economy going." What are you doing to keep the 'blood' moving through our local economy? Buying local speeds up the velocity at which money moves through the economy. When currency circulates more quickly, the money goes through more hands. As a result more people have the benefit of the money and what the money has purchased for them. So think of it this way. When you buy local there is a good chance that what is spent is going to benefit you and your family somewhere down the line. Maybe it is that college age daughter looking for an entry level job position in retail, or it is your uncle who owns a local restaurant or your cousin the contractor who is asked to put a new façade on a locally owned business. Money spent in the local economy has the chance of helping your family versus the dollars you spend outside the area. We have a diverse array of businesses in Chautauqua County. Any time we make a purchase or select a service we have an opportunity to support our local economy by making that investment, whether small or large, right here in our County. Local shopping makes both dollars and sense for our economy. For more information about the wide variety of products and services provided by Chautauqua County businesses, visit the Chamber website at www.chautauquachamber.org. Fill ‘er Up!

The total mortgage originations market is estimated to be around $1 trillion in 2014. With that in mind, CCB (Cattaraugus County Bank), the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) and the nation’s more than 6,500 other community banks are on hand to help homebuyers navigate the mortgage process. “Buying a home is likely the biggest purchase most people will make, and CCB is an excellent resource to help guide homebuyers through the process,” said Mike Wimer, CCB President. “There are new mortgage rules and regulations in place. We know these rules and regulations and we are available to help potential homebuyers by providing accurate and relevant information. Like many community bankers across the country, we can help our neighbors in our local communities find a mortgage that fits their financial needs, budget and lifestyle.” The following are eight suggestions for prospective first-time homebuyers: • Know your monthly income and budget, including how much you spend on rent, utilities, entertainment, clothing, food and transportation. • Discuss your finances with your community bank before you begin looking for a home. It is important to stay within your means when purchasing a house. • Gather and organize paperwork and documents. Items you should have readily available include paycheck stubs, W2 forms, tax returns and bank and investment statements for the last two years. • Check your credit report so you are aware of what your credit history and current score is before applying for a loan. Credit reporting agencies must give you one free report annually. • Maxing out credit cards or falling behind on other loan payments could create issues when applying for a mortgage. Keep tabs on your spending habits before applying for a mortgage, and don’t go on a spending spree afterwards either. • Work with us - your community banker - to figure out how much you can borrow and which mortgage product is right for you. Your local community banker at CCB can explain available mortgage options- including rate adjustments, fees and other loan features - so you are prepared for the loan closing and not surprised down the road. • Learn what current mortgage rates are. We can help you understand how that translates into monthly mortgage payments. • Check with us for special first-time-homebuyer loan options. “CCB’s lenders work with both our customers (existing and future) and help give advice on finding mortgages that homebuyers can afford,” said Wimer. “There are many steps to ensure the home buying process goes smoothly, and we want to help with this. We can help homebuyers determine the most affordable mortgage options, and are available to provide additional financial guidance if needed.” JAMESTOWN GAZETTE www.JamestownGazette.com BUSINESS June 23, 2014 17 Free Family Comedy Show; New Features on Audubon’s Rhea Showcase Free to Veterans Secret Gardens Tour Article Contributed by Jamestown Audubon You’ll be inspired by gardens large and small, traditional and contemporary, at the Jamestown (NY) Audubon Center & Sanctuary’s 11th Secret Gardens Tour.

The delicious scent of homemade foods waft across the porch, reminiscent of returning home. Seniors and staff alike enjoy the calm and caring atmosphere, each day chocked full of fun activities, and of course, a whole lot of love. “It’s like a big family - we are a pretty close-knit group,” says David Mauro, coowner of Randolph Manor in cozy Randolph, NY. Randolph Manor is dedicated to the care and keeping of their residents, providing quality care on a personal level. Mrs. Mauro, David’s mother, opened the home because of her dedication to the elderly. “She had a real love of the elderly - it’s what she wanted to do,” David explains. “It was kind of hard for her - she was a widow left with six children.” She attained her GED, learned to drive, and studied nursing in Jamestown. After working as a nurse at Jamestown General Hospital, and later, in Dr. Sinatra’s office, she found the opportunity to open the Manor in Randolph. Randolph Manor opened on April 1st, 1973, with only 20 beds. In later years, David and his brother, Steve Mauro, joined the family business, and have been invested in its future ever since. Expanding to 50 beds in 1992, Randolph Manor has the capacity and the compassion necessary for such an important role in elderly care. COURTESY PHOTOS Left: The Randolph Manor facade. Right: Residents of Randolph Manor enjoy themselves at a party. “We pride ourselves on being a very clean facility with home cooked meals,” David explains. “Our meals are made from scratch - yesterday, they had homemade chicken and biscuits.” The food is only one enticing feature of the home - residents have a plethora of activities going on at any time, from arts and crafts to musicians who come in for entertainment. “Bingo is the favorite,” he recalls. “When it’s nice out, we try to take the residents out for a picnic in the park.” Holidays are a special event at Randolph Manor, with each occasion a cause for celebration. “At Christmas, Santa comes with a real reindeer and delivers presents - they get a kick out of that,” David says. The other holidays are just as important, with the Easter Bunny visiting to deliver Easter baskets on Easter and Valentine’s Day. A King and Queen are elected for the day, voted on by their fellow residents. The home offers beautician and barber services, a weekly visiting lab for blood draws, as well as their most important feature: a solid and loving staff. “My The Jamestown Gazette is available in Chautauqua, Cattaraugus and Warren County.
