Findley Lake Harvest Festival 2016 Article Contributed by Emily Wynne Fully Insured Professional Service As the humidity drops, sunshine becomes more mellow and breezes distribute whiffs of dry leaves, Chautauqua County prepares for autumn. Though the fall season tends to conjure images of bonfires, apple picking and pumpkin carving, the harvest festival predates all these traditions. TREE CARE Harvest festivals date back to ancient times and have been an established tradition since the 16th century, when townspeople would gather to celebrate the completion of successful harvests. The merriment could last for days and include dancing, singing, activities, and of course, a feast.

Findley Lake Harvest Fest 2016 Labor Day Festival Returns A Great Day at Bergman Park Article Contributed by Walt Pickut See below for all performances and times. Festival Music! 2016 Labor Day Fest Organizing Committee Holds Final Planning Meeting at Bergman Park. Sunday, September 4 will be a day to honor our community’s labor force at The Greater Jamestown Labor Day Festival at Bergman Park. Jamestown’s Mayor Sam Teresi invites all to join the festivities. The city’s 37th annual celebration of American workers will offer great food and drink for every taste, from morning munchies to Sunday lunch to afternoon treats ‘n snacks to all the right things for a sunset picnic dinner as the stars come out. “Pick your spot on the lawn in front of the main stage,” Mayor Teresi said. Get some food. Visit the vendors and crafters. It’s the best way to be right in the middle of all the action.” A Full Day The earliest event of the day will be the Chautauqua Striders’ annual Dan Feather Memorial 5k Run/Walk stepping off at 9:30 a.m. with registration starting at 8 a.m. The Arts & Crafts fair begins at 11 a.m. This year it will feature more than 20 talented vendors from all across Western New York joined by additional vendors from Pennsylvania.

They’re not nearly as good as the newer, wider ties that are much better at keeping pasta sauce off my shirt…just about the only thing most guys will tell you they are good for anyway. But sometimes old things really can have a good second life. Consider parents. When they get old enough, they can become grandparents, good for lots of luvin’ and hugs and great babysitting. Then, of course, there’s also that senior discount at the coffee shop. And how about your new old jeans? They are actually aged on purpose, beaten up, tumbled with rocks in a big tin can and ripped to shreds. Then they charge you extra for selling you something that looks like it should have been thrown out long before you bought it. On the other hand, some fine wines and old spirits are generally thought to get better and better with age. Like the 1832 Chateau Lafite-Rothschild Bordeaux that is so old (and presumably so good?) one vendor lists the price at $14,355.61 for a single bottle, or like the old – but much younger – Glenmorangie Pride Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky aged since 1981 with a price tag of $4,200. See? Older is better. Then there is the great and traditional Chinese delicacy of “Century eggs” or “Thousand year eggs”, pickled in brine, buried in coals, chalk, mud and clay for… who knows how long? No matter how old, I think I’ll pass on deciding how good they are. But some old things inspire nostalgia. They look well-used and they show every sign of having been handled lovingly, kept well and revered over time. We call them antiques. In the trade, the word signifies an object more than 100 years old. An antique shop is one of those places where old becomes new again. And a traditional American Town Festival is a place where a community shows off (and loves to sell to people who appreciate such things) both the newest of their goods, trades, crafts and growing things along with their best loved and most beautiful old things, their antiques rich in history and lore. This week on Page 1 the Jamestown Gazette invites you out to the Findley Lake Harvest Fest of 2016 to browse the antique shops, meet crafters and vendors and celebrate the coming season of harvest. Lots of music, fair food and games are on tap too. It’s new ‘n old for young n’ old. Festival organizers have created special events and games for the young and old as well (old meaning grownups, of course). Youngsters from toddlers to teens have their own special fun fair at the Findley Lake Harvest Fest. So whether find yourself in the young or old category, or maybe you are even an antique in the making, festivals – like so many other things – do get better with age. The folks of Findley Lake have been at it for a while. The price of admission for the day isn’t high, but it is guaranteed to be a priceless day. Enjoy! And please enjoy the read.

This no-hands method of healing is described as "acupuncture without needles." According to the practitioner, the intention is opening blockages in the body's natural flow of bioelectricity, or Chi (Qi), that have manifested as pain, illness, diseases, and chronic conditions. This blend of Eastern wisdom and Western anatomy and physiology was developed by Tom Tam, a worldrenowned acupuncturist living in Boston. The library is located at 509 Cherry St., Jamestown. For information, call 484-7135. Article Contributed by Jamestown Community College that involves filling the kiln with as much wood as possible at the very end and then sealing every opening as tight as possible to prevent oxygen from getting in to burn the wood. All Fired Up: Contemporary Wood-Fired Ceramics, an exhibition featuring pottery and ceramic sculpture fired in wood-fueled kilns, will be displayed in Weeks Gallery on Jamestown Community College’s Jamestown Campus beginning September 12. Locally produced food and beverages will be served at the opening reception for the exhibition from 6-8 p.m. on September 16. Sarah Niebank Virtual Reality Installation Marvin Bjurlin will lead a curator’s tour of the exhibition beginning at 10:30 a.m. on September 20. Works by Bjurlin, who taught ceramics at SUNY Fredonia for 40 years, are featured with other professional ceramists, Stephanie Brash, Tony Clennell, Julie Crosby, Fred Herbst, Cary Joseph, Marc Keane, Ron Meyers, Ron Nasca, Ted Neal, Sherri Raffaelle, and Momoko Takeshita. Sarita and Stanley Weeks Endowment funds supported a 9x16’ ceramic and sand Japanese garden-inspired installation titled Thrust! by ceramicist Marc P. Keane of Ithaca for the exhibition. Keane will present an artist’s talk during the opening reception. Because the fuel is desperate to find oxygen, it attacks the iron oxide in the clay and this affects the colors of the clay surfaces, notes Dr. Briggs. Neal makes metal handles for his teapots to complement the effect. “There is social aspect of firing in wood-fueled kilns that draws many potters to the technique. It takes more than flipping a switch to turn the power on with a wood-fired kiln,” says Dr. Briggs. “Keeping the fire stoked requires continuous labor, sometimes days.” Accordingly, artists must plan for months to come together to fill a kiln with hundreds of pieces and then work together to tend the fire that fuels it. Some sleep while others push wood into the kiln’s stoking port. Planning and preparing food and refreshments throughout the day is a big part of the process as well. “The title of this show – All Fired Up – conveys the idea that excitement for the process and the community bonds it builds are very important to artists using wood-fired kilns,” says Dr. Briggs. Many of the artists featured in All Fired Up have fired together at a large wood kiln at Corning Community College. Bjurlin and the Wood was the earliest fuel used to fire clay and this technique dates back to ancient time. Wood-fueled kilns continue to be used throughout the world and require firing cycles last from 15 to 85 hours. They offer surface effects that differ from those created by electric or gasfueled kilns. Article Contributed by Flatsitter Lily Dale: Virtual Reality is coming to Pomfret!

In many cases, no glaze has been applied. Rather, the heat of the flame interacts with the silica in the clay and the wood ash circulating during the firing leave marks in the clay. These kilns act like wind tunnels that move ash and currents of heat around the clay as it fires, leaving markings on the clay that occur in large part by chance. Crosby uses a knife to cut away geometric segments of clay to form handles or basketlike openings in her large architectonic pots. Momoko Takeshita’s forms resemble exotic flowers or clam shells and are not meant to be functional. One of Takeshita’s works shows thick glassy areas that Bjurlin calls “`kiln kisses,’ random drips of glaze falling from the shelving in the kiln.” Neal and Marv Bjurlin use reduction cooling to encourage a metallic looking surface, a process WE haVE ThE LaRgEST SELECTIoN oF RoLL YoUR oWN • 30+ Varieties of Loose Tobacco CaRToNS • 29 Styles of Tubes • Storage Boxes as low as Vanilla & Mocha 9.5 oz - 15 ct • Huge Selection of Filling Machines $19.95! oNLY $ 10.99 Select Swisher Sweet CIgaRS & CIgaRILLoS BUY 1 gET 1 FREE SF FOIL PACK CIGARS Natural & Wine - 3 ct. 99¢ PLUS RoLL YoUR oWN & SaVE!

CONTRIBUTING WRITERS August 29, 2016 JAMESTOWN GAZETTE www.JamestownGazette.com 7 ® THE EVERYDAY HUNTER with Steve Sorensen Women Are Paying the Price • The bear died the death it would have died had it been shot with an arrow – a method used on thousands of bears every year. Spears have been a hunting tool for 20,000 years. • Thanks to excellent placement of the spear, and effective terminal performance, the bear went about 50 yards before it died – the same result hunters get from arrows and bullets. Contributing Writer Steve Sorensen “Hunters are cowards! They use highvelocity rifles, hide up in a tree and shoot animals from a safe distance! Why don’t they use primitive weapons, like spears, to kill a bear? And why don’t they do it at close range, from the ground, where the bear can get them? Then we’ll see how brave a hunter is! But no – hunters are way too chicken to do that!” So goes one of the arguments animal rights and anti-hunting people use against hunters. It’s emotional. It’s angry. And it’s a lousy argument. For lots of reasons. The newest reason is because a few hunters have now taken up that challenge. You may have heard about Josh Bowmar, who thrust his homemade spear into a bear on a hunt in Alberta, Canada, back in May. The bear was no Winnie-the-Pooh, at seven feet long and 392 pounds field dressed. The kill was quick and clean, yet people are attacking Bowmar. The good news is that Bowmar pulled off his spear hunt safely and successfully, delivering an ethical kill. The bad news is his wife lost her job. What’s the connection? The sports apparel company Under Armour signed Sarah Bowmar earlier this year to promote women’s hunting apparel. They suddenly cancelled her contract because of Josh’s unusual but legal hunt. Here’s the statement from the company: “The method used to harvest this animal was reckless and we do not condone it. Under Armour is dedicated to the hunting community and supports hunting that is conducted in compliance with applicable federal, state and local laws and hunting practices that ensure a responsible and safe harvest of the animal.” Was the hunt reckless? Was the harvest responsible, safe and legal? Here are some facts: • Josh Bowmar is not your average spear hurler. He was an All-American javelin thrower at Ohio’s Heidelberg University, tossing it more than 200 feet. His accurate 15-yard fling into the black bear was a perfect throw. • Bowmar hand built the spear and spent hundreds of hours perfecting both the spear and his throwing technique to accomplish this task. That’s not a reckless approach. • The bear did not suffer. For safety reasons it was recovered the next morning – a common practice when darkness falls no matter what weapon a hunter uses. I scoured the Internet for news about this, and every report I read contains obvious inaccuracies. Haters of hunters want financial punishment, and Under Armour obliged. They’re also pressuring officials to prosecute him for something, anything! But spear hunting is legal in Alberta, and the Bowmars broke no law. And why fire Sarah Bowmar? That’s not right. The Bowmars did nothing illegal or unethical, and helping to film her husband wasn’t wrong. Am I advocating that hunters start chucking spears at deer and bears? Of course not. Hunters should not use any weapon they are not proficient with. Here’s what matters: (1.) that the weapon is legal to use on the game being pursued, (2.) that the weapon is capable of delivering a lethal wound that kills quickly, (3.) and that the hunter has the skill to use the weapon well. When it comes to spears, most hunters (including me) can’t meet #3. That’s why we don’t hunt with spears. But the Bowmar hunt meets all three criteria. So if you don’t like what he did, don’t shame his wife. Don’t petition a company to strip her of her livelihood. Instead, study the issue. If you want the law changed, then lobby game departments without emotion or lousy arguments. In the meantime, Google a few names. Eva Shockey. Kendall Jones. Melissa Bachman, to name only a few. Now Sarah Bowmar. You’ll find that women today are the ones paying a public price to be hunters. In a day when society encourages women to enter fields traditionally dominated by men, our schizophrenic society has a problem with female hunters. We freely savage them for doing what men have done since time immemorial. So who’s next in the sights of anti-hunting activists? It could be me. It could be you. But it’s more likely to be a woman. When “The Everyday Hunter” isn’t hunting, he’s thinking about hunting, writing about hunting, talking about hunting, dreaming about hunting, or wishing he were hunting.

For the ways I can go through the motions instead of living in the moment. And I know I’m not alone. Life has a way of lulling us to sleep. Next thing we know we look at our watch or the calendar and we wonder what happened? “Lost time” is an expression for a reason. And it’s nothing new. Contributing Writer Pastor Shawn Hannon Hope Lutheran Church Arcade, NY A couple of weeks ago I received a scary phone call from my wife. It was the kind that started by saying, “Don’t worry, but…” And we all know what happens when we hear those words… we worry. She continued, “Our daughter [1-yearold] and I were in an accident… we’re okay, but… well… you better come here.” As I drove to the accident scene there was already a line of cars a mile long. I drove on the shoulder, and when I got to the accident the first thing I saw was my car smashed like an accordion in the side panel of a flatbed delivery truck. Admittedly, I didn’t look too closely as I really didn’t care about the car at that point. After a moment I saw my wife and daughter, and to my relief they were okay. So was the other driver. Whew. After a check-up at the hospital and some x-rays we drove to the collision shop our car was towed to in order to get a couple of things from the car. It was at this point that reality sunk in for me. The car was demolished. Every airbag deployed. The hood was through the windshield. The engine was a crumpled up mess of steel and hoses. I couldn’t believe that my wife and child were sitting in the car just moments before. And even more than that, I couldn’t believe that they just walked away. And in a moment time changed. Immediately every second that passed seemed way more precious than all of the seconds before, and suddenly I had a sense of urgency. With every ‘what if ’ that crossed my mind, I focused on the immediacy of the time at hand. But then I felt guilty. I felt guilty for the ways I typically squander my time. For the hours I spend watching Facebook instead of spending quality face time with my kids. For the times I find myself sitting at the dinner table thinking about all of the things I have to do, in a rush to get up, instead of being present with my It’s why I need to hear Jesus’ words from the gospel of Luke. Jesus said, “Be dressed for action. Have your lamps lit. Be like those who are waiting for their master to return… ready at any moment… so they can open the door when he comes and knocks.” The preciousness and urgency of time may be lost on us, but it’s certainly not lost on Jesus. He calls us to be ready at any moment. To live expecting him to come walking through the door any minute. But we’re not always dressed for action are we? In fact most of the time we are a “later” people. We push life off like a diet we are going to start next Monday. It doesn’t matter what day of the week it is, even it if is Monday, we’re starting that diet next Monday. The problem, of course, is that there’s always a next Monday. We push life off that way too. And so time slips… we sleep… and in the end we miss out. And all because we’re not dressed for action. We’re not engaged in the moment with God, with each other, or even with ourselves. But Jesus invites us to light our lamps and watch. The night of the accident it fell upon me to give our daughter a bath. Now, I’ve given her countless baths before, but somehow this one was different. As I washed her belly I noticed the bruises that had formed on her shoulders and chest. But, strangely, do you know what I saw? I saw God’s grace and life. The bruises told the story of God holding my family in the palm of his hand, and I was overcome by the moment. Life is precious and time is urgent, so be dressed for action. Light your lamps and live in this moment. Keep watch! God is coming. And may we live alert… aware… and present. God is all around us, in every moment, and in everything. May we heed Jesus’ words and live life ready to greet him.

Prendergast Promotes Card Sign-Up Month Patty and Al Sutter, center, stand with their employees and some volunteers, who made the 4th Annual Mel Perks run for Hospice a success. Article Contributed by Chautauqua Hospice and Palliative Care Despite a rainy start, the 4th Annual Mel Perks Memorial Motorcycle Run, sponsored by The Pad in Kennedy, NY, raised $14,001. Last year the event raised nearly $10,000. This benefit is coordinated by Pad owners, Al and Patty Sutter in memory of their friend, who died in 2012, after a brief illness. Perks was a U.S. Army veteran who served in Vietnam and local businessman. The Sutters were moved by the care given to Mr. Perks by Chautauqua Hospice and Palliative Care and organize the Run to provide financial support to the agency. Numerous contributions of businesses and individuals from around the area helped make the event a success. Various local businesses donated goods or services and assisted the day of the event including Himes Auctions and Harley Davidson of Jamestown. Steel Horse donated their blues-rock for the fourth year and kept the audience dancing. "A special shout-out goes to the Viet Nam Vets Legacy Vets Motorcycle Club of Buffalo," said Al Sutter. "They organized the run and turned out 50 riders for the event including some from as far away as Watertown." The Mel Perks Run has raised nearly $40,000 over four years for CHPC and provides critical support for CHPC. "We provide many services that are not reimbursed by insurances," said Shauna Anderson, President & CEO of CHPC. "In addition, our Medicare reimbursement has only risen 2% since 2013 while healthcare costs everywhere are sky rocketing. The Mel Perks Run is so important to our mission." "When we tallied the receipts and saw the total was actually $13,987, we took a collection in the office to get past the $14,000 mark" said Andy Dickson, VP of Community Engagement & Planning. "But what is most important is this success did not happen because of large corporate sponsorships. It was a lot of small contributions from Pad patrons and a lot knocking on doors all around the area by Tammy Whalen and Amy Anderson." Chautauqua Hospice & Palliative Care provides care for individuals and their families in the community who are dealing with life limiting and terminal illnesses. Their team-based approach helps those individuals live to the fullest extent possible until the end of life.

Rushed to the hospital, he was taken by STARFLIGHT to Buffalo where his condition worsened. Despite everyone’s best efforts, unthinkably, he passed away. Bear, as he was known, was full of life everyday was an adventure for him. He especially loved the outdoors, hunting with his father and brother and imagined himself one day becoming a game warden in Alaska. Junior drag racing was his other passion. Beginning at age five, Bear raced quads, go-carts, and dirt bikes. He received his IHRA Junior Dragster license and was the NYIRP Junior Track Champion in 2001 and 2002. In his short life, Bear touched many people, transferring his infectious smile and joyous energy to them.

Hamilton Community Service Award Article Contributed by Chautauqua Region Community Foundation Since its inception in 1993, the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation has had the honor of presenting the John D. Hamilton Community Service Award to an individual or group who has “demonstrated dedication, leadership, and support in furthering community spirit.” It is proud to announce Peter and Holly Sullivan are this year’s recipients. Peter, a life-long Jamestown resident, and Holly, a Berea, Ohio native, met while students at Miami University (Ohio); the rest is history! Married in 1969, and parents to Katy, Lindsey, and Judson, the Sullivans devoted their lives to enriching the lives of others in Chautauqua County. Together, they volunteered their time and energies to many worthwhile causes. Peter, retired from PB Sullivan and Company, is a past United Way campaign chair; Jamestown YMCA campaign chair and current board member; Sheldon Foundation Board of Directors member and current president; past WCA Hospital campaign committee member; and Friends of Midway member, leading the renovations for the mini-golf course. In addition, he held positions with the Boys and Girls Club, Reg Lenna Center for the Arts, Jamestown Prendergast Library, and Chautauqua Institution Foundation. Holly, a teacher at the former Euclid Elementary School, contributed her time and talents as past president for Reg Lenna Center for the Arts; WCA Hospital Board of Directors member and ER campaign advisory member; Lucy-Desi Center founding member and board member; and past United Way co-chair. She is a past Woman of the Year (1984) and Court Appointed Special Advocates Person of the Year, 2016. These are only some of the ways in which the Sullivans have, together and individually; demonstrated the ideals on which the John D. Hamilton Community Service Award was founded.

The festival continues to evolve, with an emphasis on bringing fresh vendors and attractions each year. “This is the festival’s 19th year, and every year it gets bigger. There’s enough going on that people come here for two or three days.” “You can sit and talk to people at the beer tent and hear stories from all over. It’s great to hear from people who, after coming here for the first time, realize the good things we have here [in Findley Lake],” Gross said. Friendly Faces The atmosphere of the beer tent — and the festival as a whole — encourages storyswapping and friendly encounters. “The sense of camaraderie reminds me of the old days when people would stop and talk to each other while walking down the street,” Nancy Sonney, President of the Findley Lake Chamber of Commerce, said. One of the many benefits of a local festival that draws thousands of people from the surrounding areas is the diverse range of experience and interest present in one location. The four-block festival provides ample opportunity to meet new people and learn about Findley Lake and other communities. Live Music and Cold Brews The beer tent will offer a variety of craft brews and the chance to converse with locals and visitors alike. The tent also serves as the venue for many of the musical acts performing throughout the weekend, so come sip a craft beer and listen to one of the eight bands performing throughout the weekend. The carefully-selected bands come from a 50-mile radius to perform at the festival. “We have music from 6 p.m. on Friday to 6 p.m. on Sunday, but it usually goes even longer. The bands overlap and jam together, so that there’s no downtime between sets,” Gross said. Kid’s Carnival “Not many festivals focus on the kids,” Gross said. The festival has a large carnival-style area designated to eliciting gleeful grins from young festival-goers just out of diapers to those in middle school. “The grass is totally filled up with crafts and activities going on for both parents and kids,” he continued. One exciting feature this year will be the inflatable obstacle course and bounce houses. “There’s one specifically for little kids and one just for older kids, which not a lot of places have,” Lori Wagner added. Wagner, Vice President of the Findley Lake Chamber of Commerce, also works for Our Own Candle Company. The Kid’s Carnival area has a three-dollar admission fee, but children — and their parents — are welcome to participate in activities as long as they wish. “You can come and go all day long without having to pay again,” Sonney said. All proceeds from the Kid’s Carnival go back y L e l a ke d n i F Harvest Fest 2016 Sept. 2nd-4th 2016, Friday to Sunday, September 2 through 4. For details, see the poster on page 12. “Our Own Candle Company sponsors the festival; we inherited it, since it’s been in Findley Lake longer than we have. Everybody at Our Own Candle Company, along with people from the community, volunteers at the festival,” Gross said.

New and Rediscovered Treasures The festival offers local businesses, artists and antiques dealers the opportunity to showcase their wares in tents throughout the festival area. “My favorite part of the festival is seeing the crafters and other vendors. The festival has such a nice variety of art and antiques: a little of this and a little of that. There are different vendors every year, which makes it interesting,” Sonney said. An antique show enables festival-goers to discover treasures from bygone eras and even purchase an antique or vintage piece to take home. “The entire fire hall is full of antiques for sale by private dealers. That’s 10,000 to 12,000 square feet of antiques,” Gross said. If modern craftsmanship sparks your interest, stop by the art exhibit at the gazebo. Admire the talent of local artisans and pick up a piece that has potential to one day be a valuable antique. “Local artists — pottery dealers, photographers, woodworkers and more — come together for our art show,” Gross said. The vendors dotting Findley Lake during the festival present a rainbow of food, craft, art and service options. Bill Simpkins, Sales Manager of Our Own Candle Company, flipped through a tall stack of vendor applications. “We try to get as much of a variety as possible without having overlap,” he said. Over 25 art and food vendors are currently registered, but more may be present. “The vendors sell a little bit of everything. They have tents set up with everything from tarot card readings to jewelry to artists to other handmade products,” Gross said. “This will be our biggest year of food vendors yet. We’ll have everything from Japanese food to sausage sandwiches,” he continued. Findley Lake and Beyond “The Finley Lake Harvest Fest is self-sustaining thanks to local merchants who donate money to the festival and feature various specials throughout the weekend,” Gross said. There is no charge to participate in the weekend’s festivities; even the musical entertainment is free. The festival takes place rain or shine. “In 19 years we’ve never been rained out,” Gross said, rapping his knuckles on the wooden desktop. Come experience the Findley Lake Harvest Fest — a big festival in a small town — and support local artists, chefs, musicians and businesspeople. “The festival really helps out the Findley Lake and surrounding communities,” Simpkins said. Stop by the festival and stay in Findley Lake for an afternoon or for the weekend. What better way to close out the summer than with this multi-faceted festival designed to appeal to everyone? Make attending this autumn event a tradition. “It’s a great showcase of the community,” Gross concluded. The Findley Lake Harvest Fest takes place Friday Sept. 2 through Sunday Sept. 4.

Article Contributed by State University of New York at Fredonia The State University of New York at Fredonia recently received full accreditation for seven years through the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) as the first institution of higher education in the State of New York to meet all five of the 2013 Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) Standards. It is also one of the first institutions in the nation to be fully accredited through CAEP, the single specialized accreditor for educator preparation in the United States. "Our CAEP accreditation is a seal of national approval that assures that educator preparation at Fredonia is of the highest quality. This external accountability ensures that Fredonia continues its long history of rigorously preparing the very best teachers and educational leaders. This accreditation also provides a framework in which our educator preparation programs enact a continuous improvement cycle – continually self-assessing and conducting evidence-based analysis of their programs and efficacy," noted College of Education Dean Christine Givner. In the final CAEP Site Visit Report, Fredonia was praised for its willingness to be an early adopter of the new CAEP standards and accreditation process and enthusiasm to be a critical friend in forging the way for a new and rigorous national accreditation process. Fredonia's Educator Preparation Program (EPP) has ensured that courses are aligned with college and career-readiness standards and provides evidence that the unit is attending to providing candidates with developmentally appropriate experiences to acquire the knowledge and skills to impact P-12 learning within a framework of college- and career-ready standards. The College of Education also documented evidence of strong partnership relationships with 60 school districts. The EPP presented college-wide plans and goals to recruit and support completion of highquality candidates from a broad range of backgrounds. As well, Fredonia implements a comprehensive and sound quality assurance system that is used regularly and systematically for improvement of candidate, program and unit performance. Fredonia's College of Education Professional Education Unit (COEPEU) includes 20 percent of the university's undergraduate students and 80 percent of the graduate student population, enrolled in educator preparation programs. It has an enrollment of 856 undergraduate and 223 graduate students, and offers 15 initial teacher preparation programs (those leading to a first time teaching certificate) and 14 advanced educator preparation programs (those leading to additional certificates). Candidates are served by 44 full-time, tenured or tenuretrack faculty, approximately 22 part-time faculty, and seven support staff members. Fredonia graduates and recommends for certification close to 300 educators annually across all 29 of its undergraduate and graduate programs. The mission of the COE is to challenge, educate and inspire teacher and leader candidates to become skilled, connected, creative, and responsible global citizens and professionals capable of impacting P-12 student learning, and meeting the challenges of diverse student needs. Fredonia's College of Education, "Believes that all children can learn and that they can learn best by teachers who are responsive." In addition, to become responsive educators, candidates must continue to learn throughout their professional careers. To learn more about the outstanding programs and distinctive learning opportunities for future Fredonia educators go online to fredonia.edu/ coe/about. The CAEP Standards, adopted in 2013, reflect the voice of the education field on what makes a quality teacher. CAEP accreditation ensures that there is solid evidence that a provider's graduates are competent and caring, and that there is solid evidence a provider's staff have the capacity to create a culture of evidence to be used for continuous improvement. More information about CAEP go to http://caepnet.org/. The Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (www.CAEPnet. org) advances excellence in educator preparation through evidence-based accreditation that assures quality and supports continuous improvement to strengthen P-12 student learning.

Article Contributed by Lutheran Let’s get fit and have some fun by joining a “Healthy Bones” Class offered by Chautauqua County RSVP (Retired and Senior Volunteer Program). The StrongWomen© Program is a national evidence-based community exercise and nutrition program targeted to midlife and older women. Dr. Miriam E. Nelson and colleagues (Tufts University in Boston, MA) have developed and evaluated the curricula. “Healthy Bones” exercise routines follow the strength training curriculum to help women maintain muscle mass, strength, and function as they age. The StrongWomen© Strength Training Program grew out of research published by Dr. Miriam E. Nelson on bone density in older adults, which became popular through her first book, Strong Women Stay Young. The program began in 2003 with the development of the StrongWomen© Strength Training Program curriculum and StrongWomen© workshops, which train women to become program leaders. Since 2003, over 2,500 leaders have been trained throughout the United States and Canada. StrongWomen© Ambassadors and Tufts University program directors have collectively held over 140 workshops for new leaders since 2003.

Individual books are half-price, and bags are $10. Article Contributed by James Prendergast Library Pine Junction Article Contributed by Katie Smith From the minute you turn onto Bailey Hill Road outside Findley Lake and follow the signs to the Pine Junction Restaurant (GPS address: 9757 Bailey Hill Road, Sherman), it's clear you aren't going to any ordinary spot. Originally opened in 2006 as a small soup and sandwich stop along the snowmobile trail, Shirlee and Lonnie Pond listened to the riders’ requests for a year round place they could visit. Their 60 acres of pine forest only 5 miles from Peek N’ Peak has been transformed into a destination spot. A large sign marks the driveway entrance and the flowers and landscaping surrounding the sign are just the beginning of what's to come. Shirlee and Lonnie like to say, “Part of the fun is trying to find us!” The original 22 seat shack in the woods has been transformed into a selection of dining areas that seat more than 100 guests. Several bar areas, an outdoor deck and patio area offer additional seating to enjoy a craft beer or cocktail and enjoy the country setting. More than 15 taps provide a choice of local craft beers with seasonal favorites in rotation. Customers from the snowmobile days have become year round customers - drawn in by the fresh cut meats, homemade desserts that rival any high end bakery (local peaches for peach cobbler were delivered during my visit) and the personal service and attention to detail that Shirlee provides. "Our customers are our best advertisers, we treat them well, they tell their friends and our customer base continues to expand. We realize it's a drive to get here so we like to tell the customers getting here is part of the fun!" she continued. "Once here we want to be more than dinner; enjoy all the wood accents and accessories in the building, hike the woods, relax and enjoy their time with us." The venue can host gatherings for groups as large as 350 and as intimate as 50. One of Shirlee's original employees will be celebrating her wedding and reception at Pine Junction later this fall and the 2017 calendar shows 16 weddings booked. Shirlee's dedication to her customers and staff come through clearly. Customer service is key, each member of the wait staff receives personal training, they are invited sit in various areas of the restaurant to get a better idea of the customer's view and she assigns each a small number of tables so each guest can look forward to personal attention. The expansion is a great example of her attention to detail and concern for comfort. A new spacious lobby eliminated crowding, restrooms were expanded for better access and kitchen upgrades reduced wait times for meal delivery. Most recently, a full service generator has been installed so power outages don't interrupt service, energy efficiency upgrades allow for constant comfortable heating and cooling. Shopping local, using local vendors and suppliers is also important to the Ponds. The building décor is from local shops, they use only local suppliers for food and beverages and they have shopped locally for all their building supplies and construction labor. Pine Junction Restaurant is located at 9757 Bailey Hill Road, Sherman, NY - there is easy access off route 426 in Findley Lake. They are open 7 days a week serving from 11 a.m. through midnight. They do not offer reservations but you can call 716-7697854 for an idea of wait times.

Cornell Cooperative Extension, EFNEP Program (Expanded Food Nutrition Education Program) are celebrating Moms everywhere! We know that it can be overwhelming to figure out what you should be eating to keep you and your baby healthy. It is common for mothers to prioritize the infant’s health above their own; however, mother’s health and wellbeing are essential for the breastfeeding experience to be successful. She needs strength and energy to take care of herself and her baby, so it is important for her to get plenty of rest and sleep whenever possible.

August 29, 2016 COMMUNITY COMMUNITY County Health Officials Urge Chautauqua Lake Users to be Cautious Article Contributed by Jamestown BPU The Jamestown Board of Public Utilities offices will be closed on Monday, September 5, in observance of Labor Day. Recycling for September 6-10 will be paper, The Public Health Division of the Chautauqua County Department of Health & Human Services (DHHS) urges all residents to be cautious when recreating in our lakes, especially if algae is present. Lake users should be aware that algal bloom conditions can change rapidly due to changes in weather and lake currents and they can occur in any of our lakes at any time. Blue-green algal blooms can be a problem because they can release a toxin, which at high levels is harmful to human and animal health if ingested. Blue-green algae is actually a type of cyanobacteria that can form thick mats on the water surface resembling paint, and ranges in color from gray to various shades of yellow, green, blue, or brown. The problem of blue-green algae occurs throughout New York and many other states. In recent years blooms have been quite significant on Chautauqua Lake and on our other inland lakes. Christine Schuyler, County Director of Health & Human Services, said, "The real threat to public health from cyanobacteria is when people or pets drink or otherwise ingest water directly from a lake where a bloom is occurring. Lake water that is properly treated through an approved DHHS water treatment plant does not pose a risk. Swimming or recreating in areas where the water contains high levels of toxin can cause skin irritation and other symptoms to those with high sensitivity.” “A significant amount of sampling and testing for microcystin, one of the most common toxins produced by cyanobacteria, has been done on Chautauqua and Findley Lakes over the past four years,” said Schuyler. “The only samples that have been high were those from locations where significant blooms were present and the water was very unsightly. Such areas of Chautauqua Lake currently include, but are not limited to, the Bemus Bay area in the north basin and several areas throughout the south basin but remember conditions can change rapidly.” DHHS has developed a response plan to help protect the public from health effects caused by blue-green algal blooms when they occur. This includes closely monitoring permitted bathing beaches and public drinking water supplies, along with collecting a limited number of samples from our lakes for submission to the New York State Department of Health laboratory. 19 BPU Labor Day Holiday Closing & Change in Solid Waste Collection Labor Day is a holiday for BPU Solid Waste employees.

Northwest Honored by Forbes as one of America's 50 Most Trustworthy Financial Companies Not all algal blooms are hazardous, but DHHS recommends taking the following precautions: Avoid or limit exposure to water where these algal blooms are occurring. This especially includes swimming and other contact recreation where the water could be accidentally swallowed. Do not allow young children or pets to play in water where an algal bloom is present. Wash your hands and body thoroughly if exposed to algae and anytime after swimming or recreating in the lake. Do not use any water from lakes for drinking unless it has been treated through a municipal water treatment plant. Do not enter the water if you have open cuts or sores. If pets enter the water containing bluegreen algae, wash them immediately and don't let them lick their fur. There are no mechanical or chemical methods to eliminate a bloom. This problem can only be solved by reducing nutrients washing into the lake from the watershed, which act as fertilizer for both algae and weeds. Watershed management plans have been developed for several lakes including Chautauqua and Findley to address the nutrient problem. As recommendations in the plan are implemented, improved water quality will follow, but it will take years to see improvements. For more information about bluegreen algae, please go to the DHHS website at http://www.co.chautauqua. ny.us or call 716-753-4489 during normal business hours. The website also contains information about bathing beach closures for public beaches in Chautauqua County.

(L to R): Andy Alpaugh, Kiwanis Treasurer; John Plumb, Candidate for Congress; and Wendy Wilcox, Kiwanis President Article Contributed by Kiwanis Club John Plumb, who served as an officer in the U.S.Navy and continues to serve in the Navy Reserves, told the Jamestown Kiwanis Club that there is a historically low percentage of military veterans serving in Congress today. That is an important reason he is running for Congress. Navy Commander Plumb told the Kiwanis Club that he was born in Jamestown and raised in Randolph. His father was a lawyer in Jamestown and his mother taught physics at JCC. They continue to reside in Randolph. Plumb graduated from Notre Dame on a Navy ROTC scholarship. The Congressional candidate told the Kiwanis Club that he learned the importance of teamwork as a submarine officer. When a problem put the submarine in danger, everyone had to work together to solve the problem as quickly as possible. Plumb said that Congress needs to exhibit this kind of problem solving. As our Congressman he would put the Nation’s interest above any partisan political interest Plumb would be the first Congressman from Chautauqua or Cattaraugus Counties since Stan Lundine from 1976-86.

The ceremony was held in the Jamestown Board of Education meeting room with family and friends in attendance. Jamestown Board of Education members, Paul Abbott, Patrick Slagle, Dan Johnson and Shelly Leathers participated in the ceremony, along with JHS Principal Mike McElrath and Superintendent Tim O. Mains. “Tonight we celebrate three young men who have reached a significant milestone in their young lives,” said Dr. McElrath. “All three have shown persistence in the face of obstacles. All three have demonstrated the ability to rise above a temporary setback to achieve their goal of becoming a high school graduate and I am very pleased to see the progress these men have made to receive their diplomas.” Superintendent Mains holds a Graduation Ceremony in August to acknowledge the student’s hard work and dedication. “We do not give away diplomas. You have each earned your diploma with your hard work,” said Superintendent Mains. “A high school diploma changes what lies ahead of you by opening the doors for work, military or college that wouldn’t have been obtainable without your diploma. You will now have to decide where you will go and what you will do with your life. We are tremendously proud of your dedication to achieve your goal of a high school diploma.” Pick Up Yo u Jamestown Community College Jamestown Convenient Care Jamestown Savings Bank Arena Joe'Z Coffee House Johnny's Lunch Jones Bakery Jones Hill Rehab John David Salon Kwik Fill Labyrinth Press Co.
